MARY E. CONNELLY “Whose humor, as gay as the fire-fly’s light, Played round every subject and shone as it played.” Some one who knows Mary very, very well, told us that her hobby was being cheerful. We had thought that going to shows was first in her mind, but it may be that being happy includes going to shows. At any rate, we have never seen her in an ill-humor and she does know a lot about the play of the week. REGINA E. CONROY “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Youthful years and maiden beauty, Joy with them should still abide; Instinct takes the place of Duty, Love, not Reason, guide. MARGARET CRONIN “She is a theme of honor and renown, A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds.” “Marg” is known throughout the school for her kind deeds. If you haven’t your lesson and need help, “Marg” is just the one to help you out. Anything she has is yours for the asking. Or if there is anything she can do, she is more than willing to do it. The girls like “Marg” are the ones that inspire others to good deeds.

J. HAROLD BISHOP “A debator to the core, Also one good orator.” Behold! the stern faced orator, the man of eloquence. One could guess his resemblance to Daniel Webster from a glance at that noble forehead, but when his silvery words break forth, all doubt is dispelled and we at once see in him the statesman yet to be. But oratory is not his only field, for as director of the E. F. A. orchestra he brings forth melody which would do credit to a Philharmonic Concert. Keep it up, Harold, you’ll yet have your name on the Congressional or a Victor record. Leader of Orchestra, Leader of Debating Team. CARL C. CHAMBERLAIN “An honest man is respected by all parties.” Do you know this boy with the faultless coiffure and the ready smile ? If you do, you should count yourself fortunate, for that privilege is not possessed by all the common rank and file of students. Carl’s reserve vanishes instantly, how- ever, after he has rendered one of those enchanting whistling solos in Room 17, during an intermission in Prof. Wilson’s watchfulness. And then, as a show man, we all know him to be one of the powers behind that circus of many attractions which raised such an uproar in the gym several months ago. We hope his talent in this line will not be lost, but that no less enterprise than Barnum’s will claim him as its own. Senior Party Committee. HAROLD P. CONNELLY “I am a great friend to public amusement.” Heads up, gentlemen; this is the only and original Harold Connelly, otherwise popularly and properly known as Con.” Harold’s originality lies in his ability to play ball and last but not least to escort the ladies to and from the build- ing. “Con” came to E. F. A. to start to get an education, but finding his studies so easy that he could get them while eat- ing breakfast in bed, he began to specialize in E. F. A. We all wish “Con” success in his future life. Football Team, Track Team, Class Book Board, E. F. A. Entertainment.

o HOWARD R. DAILEY Harp” “Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat And therefore let’s be merry.’’ E. F. A. will sorely miss Dailey and his laugh when he gets his “dip” this June. As an athlete, comedian and all- around good fellow, “Harp” has no superior. He is also a punster of rank ; in fact his jokes are the rankest things that ever appeared in the “Vindex.” The following attest to his popularity and ability: Vindex Board, Class Book Board, Track Team, E. F. A. Entertainment, Senior Class Play. BRYAN LESTER DAVIS “I am occasionally endowed with wisdom.” The proud owner of this cherubic countenance sprang into everlasting renown through his clever interpretation of one of the leading roles in the Senior Class Play. Bryan makes a capital hero in real life as well as on the stage—if you doubt this, we refer you to a certain Junior maiden. Oh, we wouldn’t dare mention her name, but can’t you guess? This gay Beau Brummel is quite an authority on dress, and he is reported to be the possessor of the loudest hat in school. However, we refuse to gossip, so for further information see Bryan. Senior Class Play. WALTER C. ERVIN “Dewey” “An athletic son of E. F. A.” We’ve waited four years for an opportunity to get a “crack” at this guy, but now that we’re in a position to do something—well, it’s just as Goldberg says, “Now that you’ve got it, what are you going to do with it?” Search us. As an athlete, “Dewey” has few equals; as an athletic editor he is not such a wonder, however, but he bluffed Lande for a trip to Binghamton. Base Ball Team, Basket Ball Team, Vindex Board, Chairman Picnic Committee.
