...................................................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. Senior Reception Committee. = S i = (23)

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.

MARGARET MORAN ‘‘MARGARET “A quiet little girl with a quiet little smile. Margaret is one of those girls whom the Senior Class as a whole hardly knows, but from the Seniors who do know her, what glowing reports we hear! Always quiet, sweet and obliging, we wish Margaret would get acquainted with the rest of us. We all want to know her. too. MINNIE MOSESON “MINNIE They laugh that win. And Minnie will win all right, for what do you think of a girl of whom the teachers say. “She is a splendid Ger- man student? She is very good in “Vergil . Isn't that a marvelous re. putation? But to see Minnie’s snappy brown eyes you would know that action was about fifty per cent of her make up. And to see her work you would know that that action is work, not mischief. = a ANNA MAY MUbREADY a Full much we 07ve her for her music. We often hear the E. E. A. lads and lasses thank the circumstances that brought us within these walls, because of the intimate relations we have with one a another, and because of the discoveries we make. Now here was retiring, thoughtful, musical Anna May, who. no doubt, would have gone quietly plodding up the dreary path to knowledge, without lightening the burdens as well as the feet of her comrades, if it were not for this S building. Certainly, the magical midday a hour of twelve, like the corresponding- a magical midnight hour, when all the toys are wide awake and full of mischief, has made us acquainted with many shy pussies and gentle lambs, and brought many jumping jacks into tight boxes. After Anna May dines, she “Dinah’s us and we a din her to keep on, w’hich she’s induced to a do by the pleadings of numerous Cicero’s and Anthony’s. RUTH NEAGEE “ruth For if she would she ivould, you can de- pend on that. Yes, whether it is conjugating French verbs, making English briefs (?) or play- ing “Bab in the Class Play, Ruth is there, you can depend on that. She has been our Secretary in both our Junior and Senior years and has filled that enviable position splendidly. Altho’ not versed in short hand, she always manages to take down the delightful speeches of some of our orators at the Senior meetings. For this and for her friendship in the years at E- F. A. we wish her a long life and many friends. Secretary Senior Class. Class Play. Honor Student.
