ELSA H. GUYER “Her fingers shame the ivory keys, They dance so light along.” Would you believe this microscopic child could play in a manner worthy of Paderewski himself? Well, she does; besides this she achieves such wonderful standing on her report cards that she is able to take them home without the usual fear and trembling. GRACE M. HAMILTON “Learning by study must be won.” Thus do we account for Grace’s wise habit of zealously studying. Did you ever see her not working ? Of course not. But, as she always gets results for her work, she no doubt feels that it is worth while. When you hear of some of the marks she gets you would wish that you had employed your time as wisely. HELEN M. HAVENS “A beautiful maiden with dark dreamy eyes and brown hair.” She has the heart of every loyal fellow beating at the rate of sixty miles an hour. Her charms are great indeed for all fall prey to her magnetism. She has a preternatural bent for chemistry, being credited with the saying that sulphuric acid is a cataleptic agent. E. F. A. Entertainment, Senior Reception Committee.

 EDWARD F. HYDE “Let every man enjoy his whim; What’s he to me, or I to him.” Edward only joined our ranks a short time ago and we are glad that he has won a regular berth among us. We do not see much of him though, for he secrets himself in the chemistry-strong box-room. He is supposed to possess a marvelous knowledge of chem. He minds his own business, which can’t be said of all of us. BENJAMIN A. HYMAN “On with the dance! let joy be unconfined?” “Bennie” is a Cracker-Jack. He entertains us with his clever dancing and monologues. In both of these he surely is in a class by himself. Some day we predict great success for him as an actor. We will also remember him as a sincere and loyal fellow. E. F. A. Entertainment. ARTHUR G. JENNINGS “Gard” “One of the most loving smiles imaginable.” Whenever you feel dull or inclined to the blues, the best prescription possible is a few moments in the presence of this frolicsome youth. Gardner is the original producer of the perpetual chuckle, and his article carries a guarantee with every package. His must be a master mind to bring forth such brilliant remarks as those which are wont to demoralize his classes, and we are sure a great career lies before him as a vaudeville artist or as a court jester.

ROSS H. JONES And when a lady’s in the case, You know all other things give place.” Ross surely is a regular ladies’ man. And every day is ladies’ day for him. Whether its some girl from E. F. A. or a college maiden, he is always very attentive. Really—Ross you ought to go on the stage—you would make a fine leading man. But still, your powers for arguing in American History Class are great also. Perhaps you would make a great lawyer. Senior Reception Committee. TUTTLE JUDSON Self trust is the essence of heroism.” Did you ever see Tut” when he wasn’t busy about something or other? His ambition and industry quite shame us for work seems to be a pleasureable occupation with him. Not that Tut” is a grind—far from it, but the combination of his activity with the business ability which shows, should make him successful in whatever he undertakes. STEWART P. LANDON. Radiant with ingenious honesty.” Stewart is one of those true blue fellows that make friends wherever they go by their quiet, gentlemanly manner and reliable ways. If he ever did anything indiscreet we have yet to learn of it. Still, it must be rather hard to be sedate on all occasions with such an attractive face. Perhaps the ladies might be a better authority on this subject, how- ever, so we leave it to them. Senior Reception Committee.
