 o o LAURA S. KLUGE. A creature not too bright or good, For human nature’s daily food.” Has it ever been your good fortune to meet one of those quiet girls who always have a smile and good word for every- one? Well, that’s just the kind of girl Laura is. During our four years association with her, we have discovered not one fault to censure. She is studious and bright in school and out of it she is just a jolly girl, full of fun. For her we prophesy a wealth of success. ELLA M. KOHN. Whence is thy learning?” Conie’s” friends tell us that she is what is commonly called a shark” in high school parlance. They say she excels in German, though she does go to sleep in the class. Perhaps that is due to the class, not herself. Not alone in school is she remarkable, but she also plays the piano remarkably well. To look at her, you wouldn’t think that so much talent was hidden within her, for she looks like any other girl. But it’s there, we’re sure. We wish you all kinds of success and good luck in the future, Conie.” E. CHARLOTTE LeFEVRE. She just sat there a-giggling.” Charlotte is always laughing and talking and she never fails to have a great deal of gossip to tell people. She and her twin are always together; wherever you see the one you will see the other. A looking glass is an absolute necessity with Charlotte.

RAYMOND H. LEWIS 'The child is father of the man.” If that is the case, Pete” will be a most remarkable man. He’s already made a record for himself in the Academy. He’s certainly a worker. He is one of the class that entered the academy in January, and he, too, finished in four years, and stood well up in his classes. It’s a mystery how he managed to do it, for he worked every minute, it seemed, out of school hours. He intends to go to Syracuse University and take a course in forestry, then get a government position. We hope he’ll succeed in his plans, for he deserves success. FLOYD L. MAY. What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” A youth who is so solemncholy” and reserved. We know that your gray matter is not lacking but we would like to ask you a question or two; does your heart ever trip faster when a young lady appears on the landscape ? did you really ever make any noise? You are so innocent that it would be a crime to sting you. Some day we hope to hear that you create a commotion as great as Vesuvius. HARRY MILLS. A singer of great note.” Ladies and gentlemen, attention ! You are now to have the pleasure of viewing the pride of the class - the second Caruso. This youth, whose silvery head has oft been mis- taken for a Mazda lamp, is the possessor of a voice which will in time place him on the back cover of the Cosmopolitan with all the other artists who sing exclusively for the Victor. We all wish you success, Harry.

EDWARD A. MOOERS. True greatness is sovereign wisdom.” Surely the class of 1914 is lucky in having such a brilliant youth. He shines like a star of first magnitude. He is not a grind but he studies assiduously - if you know what that means. Lehigh University is to be congratulated over this phenomenal prospect--(We’re saying nice things about Eddy” so he will buy a book or two.) Class Book Board, Senior Class Play. JOHN T. MORRISEY. Let be my name until I make my name! My deeds will speak.” Small but how he can talk—that is, when he shouldn’t! Strange as it may seem when asked to recite in class, his voice almost forsakes him. We mustn’t be too hard on him for he is extremely well behaved except when you try to col- lect his dues and then he is a difficult proposition. FREDRICH MULCAHY. A youth so honest, bound to do right An athlete so sturdy, strong in his might.” All hail Captain Mul!” Under his staunch leadership, an enviable record was made on the gridiron last fall. Fred is a clever chap and always meets you on the square. He has high aspirations and is excelled in oratory only by Demosthenes himself (remember that famous football speech.) His failing is his fondness for die Fraulein.” May his H(e)art net him much happiness. Captain of Foot Ball Team, Basket Ball Team, Committee for E. F. A. Entertainment.
