Leonard shines as a manager and as a student. (Of course, the teachers haven’t found out that latter fact, for he hides it ‘under a bushel. Too bad, teachers, that there are a few things about some of us that you don’t know.) “Capt. is a prime favorite and has won a place all his own in the class and in our affections. Manager of Base Ball Team. FLORENCE LOWE “FLORENCE I do know of these That, therefore, only are reputed wise For saying nothing. Florence is quoted as saying. They won't say anything about me in the Class Hook except that I’m quiet for that’s all they know about me. So we ll just fool her. She is reported to be a grind but that is a false accusation. If people knew all the dreams that pass thru her head as she sits gazing at the open books before her, they’d no longer wonder why she doesn't get 100 on her card instead of well really we hadn’t better say. MARGARET LYNCH MARGARET” It would talk, my, how it talked. Breezy, cheerful and sorrow-dispelling, Margaret makes things lively wherever she goes. She smiles gaily at the most serious things and actually looks happy when she realizes that she is late and will therefore have a little tete-a-tete with Principal Parker. May she always be as bright, comical and sunshiny as she has been in E. F. A. ARTHUR F. McCANN art “pete” .e me play the fool,- With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. Behold! Our would-be funny man! What is it that first strikes our eye when we behold the Senior picture ? Why’tis the classically-draped form of “Pete . We know “Art will be famous someday, either as Latin Professor or comedian in a 10-20 and 30. Maybe his tastes will be for the villan’s parts, but whatever he under- takes, Art” has the brains to carry it to a successful termination, if he can be per- suaded to stay away from the girls long enough to do any work.

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)

...................................................nimium.............................................................. iiiiiiimiiimimiiimiiiiif MARY FLORENCE McNEVIN “FLORENCE” So funny and serious a girl I have not seen. Funny and serious sound contradictory but they aren’t in Florence’s case. She looks very serious and talks very funny. Even her picture looks so solemn that you would think she is a grind but she is real- ly far from it. After her summer vaca- tion, she expects to take a course in domestic science. We wonder why. LEON MARKSON “leon “And still they wondered and still their wonder gre?o To think that one small head held all he knew. Did you read that exciting little drama in the “Vindex’’ a few months ago? And those stories signed L- M. in such a modest way? Those were the product of the brain of Leon, our budding drama- tist, author and orator. As the writer of not only a prize story but also many other contributions he has supported the school paper with a loyalty to be applauded. And as the speaker on Arbor Day, he made his class mates feel proud that he was their representative. Boy's Debating Team. Class La7iyer. RUBY MASON “ruby” ‘‘Charms strike the sight And merit wins the soul. Speaking of charms, if pretty red cheeks, big, soft, brown eyes and hair just a mite curly are charms. Ruby surely possesses them. We've tried hard to find out what her besetting sin is and have at last learned that she has a weak voice in German class! This isn’t such a terrible fault but her record in E. F. A. is so good we can't find any other. TOM MAXCY “tom” ‘ Gentlemen be sea ted. ’ ’ Tom is the hustler of not only the class but the school. All big and especially novel or freakish undertakings generally trace either their origin, or managment or both to him. And his latest is the Senior hat idea. Tom is so busy directing things and rushing around, that he really can’t find time for the minor incidents of E. F. A. student life such as English briefs, etc. Chairman of Hat Committee.
