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.

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.

o Q RHEA M. CUMMINGS “Tis pleasing to be schooled in a strange tongue.” Here’s one of our most attractive Senior girls, one that is liked by all who know her. She has many winning ways and always has a witty remark at her tongue’s end. All that have been in her German classes will testify to her pro- ficiency in that language. In fact, she is very brilliant in all her subjects. We prophesy for her a professorship in one of the leading colleges. MARY J. CURRY “You have deserved High commendation, true applause and love.” Mary is one of those quiet girls that do so much to raise the standard of the school. Her marks soar far above the average and are the envy of all who know of them. We hear that she is an excellent musician, also, and we wonder where she finds the time to spend on both music and studies. MARIAN E. DAGHISTAN “A lively spirit moving a lively body.” Marian is always busy and she surely can do things! If you have the “blues” go to Marian—she will cheer you up. And when she plays the piano, people can’t help but dance. Marian has shown also that she can act, having taken a leading part in the Class Play. We prophesy a great future for her, either as a piano player in a moving picture theater or as a prima donna. Senior Class Play.
