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.

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)

MARY MACK mamk ” Thou Tt’ io hast The fatal gift of beauty. Just imagine being called the prettiest girl in the class ! That is what “Maine” was called when the Seniors all went to have their pictures taken. You would think that because of this splendid fact that “Maine” would be vain but she isn’t the least bit. She just goes on getting her lessons in a way not unlike that of us less fortunate mortals. F1 0YD B. NEWEU “floyd” Let be my name until I make my name! My deeds will speak. Our class photographer looms up before us in the person of Floyd Newell. I am sure he must dream in terms of photo- graphy, for he certainly rides this hobby of his every minute during his waking hours, with one exception, the time he has given to being “a” actor. He had real talent, too. for the part he played in “One of the Eight”. He passes quietly among us. playing his real part in life with gentleness and kindness. May his path be a smooth one ! Vindex Board. Class Play. = Tim in.....mm EMILY NEWCOMB emily” “ A companion that is cheerful Emily has the distinction of being the smallest girl in the class. Because of this smallness and her air of quietness many of the class do not know her very well. But those that do know her say she is lots of fun and is not quiet when she is out tor a good time. LAURA O’DONNELL “laura” Night after night She sat and bleared her eyes with books Not that Laura is a grind for our class is entirely without those queer things, but she always has her lessons and as she doesn't study much in school she must burn midnight oil. Her principal place to excel ordinary mortals is in Physics ’ class. And if she can do such a thing n Mr. Cady’s class she is just a genius, pi; e and simple.
