She is one of the proverbial “friends indeed” for she is always ready to help those in trouble. We would like to tease her about some one but we wouldn't dare beso mean, so will merely tease her to the extent of tell- ing what a talkative girl she is at times. HAROI,D PERSONIUS “sox” “ The soul of this man is in his socks. Here is one of the athletic gentlemen of whom the Senior Class is so proud. He is known as a shark in his classes, too, especially American History where his brilliancy has brought him one of the coveted front seats. The only thing we have against Sox” is that he is too popular with the girls, so popular that on Valentine’s Day his mail is flooded with anonymous greetings. Guess we've got you guessing now “Sox.” Foot Ball Team, Captain of Base Ball Team, Basket Ball Team. AMKIJA REICH “amelia” Modest doubt is called The beacon of the wise. Amelia’s modest doubt” often keeps her in her seat when she really could an- swer the question she is asked .It would be called bashfulness or shyness in some and is really so in her case ; but we know it is more the lack of self-confidence; so we advise her to pluck up courage and appreciate herself. For her years at E. F. A. have been spent in conscientious work on her part. ISABEL UK REIDY “tobey” Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair'' We hardly know what to say about Isa- belle, so that it will be nice enough to go with her picture. Of course you've guess- ed by now that you are looking on one of the school belles. But in spite of the boys' efforts she refuses to look at them, but bends all her energies toward mastering the commercial course. We're sure she will make a competent stenographer, but we don’t imagine she will stay one long.

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.

Illllllllllllll •Jiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii CHARGES D. SHEIVK chuck'' “At my birth the base and huge founda- tion of the earth shaked like a coward. Charles is our man of the hour'' (just what o'clock A. M. is it? usually 3). He has made foundations shake at his will. indeed ; for when he raved as Weston at Rorick’s, even the seats quaked. He has shown his mightiness in his managment of the Senior play. We hail in him a future actor-manager that will surpass any such metropolitan combination up- to-date. Manager Senior Class Play, Class Play. MARY ROBERTS “ Wilt thou have music ? Hark ! Apollo plays. When the nimble fingers of this lass fly over the key-board our feet just simply won t keep still and we re off on a rollick- ing dance. Oh. Mary's some player al- right. We predict a very glorious future for this child as one of the renowned corps chosen for the responsible position so popular during the hilarious hour of twelve. But you mustn't think that this is Mary's only accomplishment. Giggles are Mary's forte. She always has a good stock on hand. In fact we never see Mary without a giggle, and we never hear a giggle without seeing Mary. But she's iu her element when there is some nice athletic chap by her side on whom she can rain her giggles. And from all ap- pearances she seems to have them, too. Arbor Day Committee. PAUIy I.. SINGER Thegentleman is learned and a most rare speaker. Maybe you think Paul can’t speak some. The only trouble is he can't stop after he gets started. Eouis has many accomplish- ments among which are tenor singing and motorcycling (with a girl on behind.) What would E. F. A. do without him on the athletic field ? He is surely a star when it comes to sprinting. Then, too. more than one of us is grateful for his brotherly advice and council and voluntary aid in many of our private affairs. Chairman Valentine Party Committee. Glee Club, Track Team. KATHERINE SHAFFER I say not much but think the more. As calm and as smiling as a day in June is our Katherine. And what is so rare as a day in June ? ” We would think that the world was indeed coming to a hasty end if this little lady were to grow excited and loose that composed manner of hers. Surely the name of Senior fits her to a T, a thing which we can’t say of everybody. However, those who know her best tell us that there is one subject that Katherine really warms up to. and that is the topic of actors and actresses. Just get her to talking and see. Oh my. we almost for- got to say that Katherine is a fine musician. But she's so modest it is very hard to get her to play. (27)
