Not a grind, yet a splendid German student. Not a shark, yet a splendid French student. And of all obliging creatures she certainly is one of the best. We also know from good author- ity that Carrie is a splendid housekeeper, a happy home for some lucky man. = ELIZABETH KAIN “ ’ 7'is color makes the world so bright This charming lass is as quiet and re- tiring as the modest violet in her manners, but as brilliant and beaming as a full blown peony in her dress. Indeed, we would hardly know Elizabeth was about at all she is so quiet, were not our eyes caught in the meshes of her rainbow lined gowns. = EDITH KENNEDY IVhat care I when I can lie still and rest, Kill time, and take life at its very best. You wouldn't surmise by looking at this infinitesimal child that so much mischief and joyous spirits could be done up in so small a package. Although Edith’s little, she's immensely famous, however. Her notorious speeches are carefully cherished and guarded by less original youths. The best known are “more gum and “more people killed, both of which hang on the lips of one and all. But Edith needs care- ful watching, we fear, from the “goings on during the twenty minute study period with another creature almost as noted as she, and who supplies her with gum and other necessary articles. We would like to warn her not to pay too much attention to the honeyed speeches of this person, for he is a noted heart- breaker, and we wouldn't want Edith’s susceptible heart broken. EEEANOR KETCHUM “ELEANOR “I wonder will you still be talking. Although Eleanor is a very conscientous girl about her work, her impulse to talk is so overwhelming that she is a very enter- taining miss. She is just one of those breezy, gossipy souls that breaks the monotony of seriousness so often in the atmosphere in Mr. Cady’s laboratory. = = = I ii.miiiiiiimiiiiimmmiiiimiiiimiiiimmi.m..mm.i.ii.miil|............................mini.............................................................................. .iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.iiiiiimmiimimiiiiiic: (20)

JIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIimillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHIIII JOSEPH HOGAN “joe “ Then I'll sit and sleep . Joe’s interest in his classes has lost his reputation for him especially in Physics. One day he wandered with Alice in Won- derland. .Since then “Sleepy Sid has been Mr. Cady’s constant care. Joe has one redeeming: feature however and that is his laugh. Stick to it Joe and you will show 'em after all. MURIEI, ISZARD A most excellent accomplished lady. All those who have seen Muriel in the role of the love lorn Anna May in the min- strels need no introduction, but for the benefit of those few w’ho lost the oppor- tunity we desire to present this talented girl. No wonder her services were needed to make the Class Play a success. Al- though it may seem improbable for one who is so ardent an admirer of the stage, yet Muriel is very like a Quakeress in her tastes, and we often hear her proudly allude to her Quaker ancestors md her desire to be like them. Muriel is earnest and enthusiastic and never does anything half way. Its always with her whole heart or not at all. If you ever need cheer- ing up just go sit with Muriel and be “mothered’’ for a while. She's worth more than any medicine. Senior Play. Honor Minstrels. FREDERIC F. JESSF.N = “fritz” = ”May I have the extreme deter in m of s guiding yon through the mazes of the next E waltz. They say hot tempers go with red hair = and that all great men have hot tempers. E We aren’t sure about the hot temper, but E as none can contradict us when we say he E is a great man we’re afraid we ll have to E accept the hot temper also. Fritz is a man E of surprises all right. First he develops into a regular “Marathoner” and we could r swear that the historical “Seven league E Boots” were his, then he upsets the equi- E librium of a certain Miss, and now he has E attained such fame behind the footlights that were he to shoot up some day into a six footer and wear a spike taii coat and travel wid de show, we would not E be at all surprised. Fritz might well be E called a Crimson Rambler for his E favorite sport is like old Rip’s | we hope not from the same reason though] to wander forth over the hills and far E away. E Track Team. Class Play. I = 'nmmii n i n in | |M,. ..................... MIEDRED JONES “mil” ”Not to know me is to argue yourself unknown. 1 They say that a rolling stone gathers no moss but it gathers lots of polish. Now that is exactly what “Mil” does. She flits around constantly thereby losing perfect- ly good time for study, but in her flitting she makes lots of friends. A dazzling smile here and a sympathetic giggle, that is the way she speeds through the world. And let me tell you that this rapidly made path is shocking in the number of broken hearts it contains. For those bewitching little curls of hers are enough to break hearts and with the smiles-why it’sawful! Class Book Board.

GEORGE bAIN GEORGE “ Consider ye, what services he has done for his school. George I ain is a “cracker-jack.'' He plays base ball and basket ball, and yet has had time to run the finances of the Senior Class. When he smilingly tells us not to be rash about spending our money, why, we don’t spend it, proving thus, that George has most present-day financiers cheated. He rules us by that smile of his, while he happily clinks our money in his pocket, and keeps us on the straight and narrow path. “1912” will stand as a model for all future classes, with bain’s motto as a guide: 1. Worry destroys the power to smile. 2. Debts cause worry. 3. Therefore—no debts for mine. G. bain, Originator. Treasurer of Senior Class, Basket Ball Team, Base Ball Team. MYRA bAIN Her ivays are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. Yes, Myra who always has a sweet smile for everyone and whose ways are ways of pleasantness treads the quiet, peaceful paths. Ah, what would the world do with- out such people as Myra?. On this we dare not think any more than we dare think what the world would be without her to a certain blonde youth with a dazzling smile. No, we won’t mention his name for we would hate to embarrass this shy little dear. Surely Fortune has not assigned to Myra’s lot tea and toast, and tabby cats. = bEAH bANDON ”Her words do show her wit incompar able. This maid started right out on her any- thing but prosey career by giving her classmates lasting proof of the abounding life of a genius with which she is running o’er. And through her whole sojourn at E. F. A. beah has lived up to the reputation she earned as a Freshman. She writes the just-hit-the-right-spot kind of poetry, delivers astounding lectures on all subjects, especially woman's rights, is chucked full of witticisms, and can mimic with such drollery that her hearers are convulsed. Ready for any frolic from a game of tag to the fascinating entertain- ment of a Sunday evening caller, no wonder beah is such a favorite. Class Book Board, Class Play Committee, Girls' Debating Team. JAMES D. bAZKNBY “JIM” In mathematics he. is greater Than Tycho Brake, or Erra Pater. It is a fact that this is a great truth but Jim would not admit it himself because he is too modest. He is full of the good sound stuff that men are made of and if anyone ever needs a friend go to Jim. More than once has he helped some of us out of pretty tight places. Although Jim is another one of these bashful fellows he is a good sport, someday the girls will find this out and then there will be no more rest for you, Jim. = = nniiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiii,||,l,,llllliai||||||||||||||||||f|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||a|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||iai|||||l||||||||||||l|l||llllll|lllll,l,,,,,,,lll,,,,|,,IBIIIllll,lliaMlliaaaaaaailllll,|llialiaiaai||ll|||||I||||l|aiail|l|l||la,|||||||— (21)
