ELMIRA FREE ACADEMY y 4 A t i INJ G The Class of Nineteen Fifteen sends To all who love the Blue and White, A Greeting as between good men, About whose worth we need not write. If anything in it recalls Those days of yore to us so dear, Our object is full well attained, To call up memory’s smile or tear. And so we send this book abroad To take its place among the rest, But if aught in it should displease, Remember this: We did our best. 71 T 4 a A TO MISS HELEN M.

HOWELL, President RUTH SPENCER, Secretary MABEL BROWN, Vice-President CLASS COLORS: Cherry and White CLASS MOTTO: Deeds Not Words” ® ©©ife S’rninr (Class OMirns n 9 5 WILLIAM ABRAMS He has a bold heart” Bill is carrying only two subjects this year so he is rarely seen studying—nevertheless he usually has his lessons. He has a chance to show his worth out- side of school, however, and they say that he is one of the mainstays down at the Advertiser office. We ex- pect to hear of him some day as general manager of the Tiser” or some other big daily. CLARENCE E. AVERY Few cares or worries has he” Here is Clarence, noted for his unrivaled pompa- dour and classy” bow ties. He feels that these two things are essential in winning the affections of the fair sex, and if reports are true they must be of some value. Clarence is also a good fellow and so good- humored that he will not get sore at the above write-up. Vindex Board, Senior Play Staff MILDRED L. BAKER How smooth and even she does bear herself” Mildred stayed out of school for a long while and went South, but she could not resist the call of 1915” so our fears that she had left us were groundless and she is with us to make her last stay in E. F. A. Altho of a serious bent she never gets mad but is always agreeable and sociable. She is a loyal daughter of the Academy and supports the school to the best of her ability. KATHARINE L. BATTIN On her unruffled brow reposes serenity” Katharine is one of the stateliest and most dignified Seniors in the class. She is always calm and collected except when her gaze happens to fall upon a certain countenance of dark handsome features. Furthermore she is a good student and a fine musician. Her nimble fingers flutter over the ivories with remarkable celerity, and can bring forth the most touching melodies. mam NETTA BALL Is she not passing fair?” Netta is the original Rosemaid” and her winning personality and ways have made her many friends. She has the cutest dimples and a contagious smile. It is rumored that she receives letters from some western city. Netta plays the violin very well in our orchestra and we prophesy that she will some day be very famous and give solos in all the leading cities. Orchestra, French Play HELEN F. BEVAN So slender and tall, Yet loved by all” It is a close race between Helen and Clarence Dunbar as to who is the tallest Senior but as usual the girls excel (?) and Helen holds the record. She is very fond of society and a wonderful dancer. She gave us ample proof of this in the Entertainment where her specialty made a big hit. Helen also possesses a fine voice and in general is a very talented young lady. Entertainment EDWIN BLAKE BICKFORD He hath a frank, open face” Blake is hardly recognizable in this picture for the reason that he is minus his tortoise shell spectacles. He has ability in many lines one of which is the stage. Altho he is of the shark specie Blake intends to take Ag” at Cornell next year where he will learn the mysteries of butter-making, milking and other delicate tasks. French Play, Senior Play Staff THELMA LOUISE BISHOP She has the gift of ready speech” Thelma is another one of our literary inclined girls. Some of her stories in the Vindex” were very good. She also has a fine voice and dances very well, which she proved as one of the Gypsy Girls in the Entertainment. She is a very strong feminist and always working for the increase of woman's power. Entertainment, German Play, Vindex Board VIOLA I. BISHOP A girl of energy and talent” This fun-loving, enthusiastic and wide-awake young lady is a good person to go to when you have the blues. It is impossible for her to act really cross or disagreeable. Viola loves to make fudge for her special friends and also plays the piano beautifully. She made an immense hit in the Class Play as Cissy”. This was a very difficult part but Viola took it to perfection. Class Play, Orchestra, French Play, Girl’s Vindex Board MABEL BRC WN What a popular lass she is” All hail to Brownie, our efficient vice-president and female cheer leader. An E. F. A. athletic contest without Mabel’s presence would not be complete. She has more school spirit than any other girl we know of. She is immensely popular with the girls and fellows and is usually a leader in any doings. Her other accomplishments are too numerous to mention but suffice it to say that she is one fine girl and a credit to our class and school. Vice-President Senior Class, Business Manager Girl’s Vindex, Entertainment ULILA A. BROWN I care not for a man” It seems incredible that a girl could go through high school without a crush” but Ulila has remained invulnerable for four years. However we have hopes for her in the near future. Ulila is a commercialized Senior, being addicted to Prof. Nichol’s courses in various subjects. It is said that she is very proficient in these as well as in her other branches. HAZEL G. BROOKS So gentle, yet so lively” Hazel is a good student and a great basketball enthusiast as well. She is present at every game, cheering for E. F. A. She certainly has lots of Alma Mater spirit. She is up” on the finer points of basketball and will probably be a physical director in some high school in the future. Here’s hoping that your ambitions may be realized, Hazel. Class Party Committee, Girl’s Vindex Board Entertainment “fw lB@©Ife JOHN BROOKS Little, but, Oh! My!” Jack is an original smoke shover” and will no doubt run a U. C. S. store some day. He played on the football team this year and performed very well during the season altho not in every game. His recitations in German are noted, not for their quality but for their rarity But to be serious Jack is a good sport and popular with the fellows and a few others. Vindex Board ELSA BROOKFIELD Just fortune is thy due” Elsa is not a grind but she is very studious never- theless and is one of our remarkable students. She is always ready to join in some fun besides. Her great- est acccomplishment is writing poetry and similar literary works. Indeed she has some ability as a writer and will have a very successful future if she follows it up. Girl’s Vindex Board, Pin Committee Valedictorian NETTIE BUELL Modest and shy as a nun is she” This wee maid comes to us from one of the neighboring towns. She is very retiring and modest and for these reasons we are not very well acquainted with her. She is a good student and one of the most accomodating girls in school. THOMAS F. BUNDY Thou art slow and cautious” Prof. Wilson called Tom the pretty, red-cheeked boy” which admirably suits Thomas. He makes a great hit with the girls at various social functions but is nevertheless unassuming. He likes to visit Corning for some unknown reason but always says he had a good time. Tom has ambitions as a newspaperman and we hope he will realize his desire some day. Banquet Committee fl 9 5 HELEN IRENE BURK Tail, slender and fair” Helen is calm, sedate, quiet and dignified which are all the qualities necessary for the perfect Senior. In fact they would be enough for most people to go through life with, but she is generous and a good friend as well. She is also a fine musician and it wouldn’t surprise us to hear that she has made herself, by her recognized talent, some day very famous. RAYMOND H. BUTLER A fellow of fine worth” Bones” is at last a Senior and one of the best we have. He is not fond of studying so that perhaps accounts for his delinquency in graduating. He is some basketball player, having won two E’s in it. He is also a great fun-lover. In fact he is the best of company as he always has some funny story to tell. He showed his ability as an actor in the Class Play and may in the future be one of those dashing mounted policemen in New York City. Entertainment, Class Play, Basketball Team GLADYS CASSELL A modest, retiring maid” This girl has an abnormal capacity for gathering knowledge. She is always visiting the libraries and poring over the books. Her recitations show her abundance of learning which pleases all the teachers. She has pretty blonde hair and a pleasing personality which have won her many friends in her stay in the Academy. LUELLA G. CLARK A nature pleasing to all” Luella is lucky in having a perpetual excuse for being late. Not everyone is so favored by our superiors. She is a great whisperer and talker; it being the hard- est thing in the world for her to keep quiet long. It is known quite positively that she has a distinct liking for flutists, especially the one who—well you know so we won’t embarrass Luella by telling any more. 119 MERLE A. CLEARWATER ’’Such a girl is the beginning of good things” Merle is quiet in school but it is said that when outside she is just full of fun and ginger. We know one thing about her, however, and that is that she has great intellectual ability. She always gives perfect recitations and has won a number of the prize essay contests. Her work on the Class Book Board gives us another evidence of her varied accomplishments. Class Book Board, Girl’s Vindex Board HOWARD H. CLUTE ”1 am not in the roll of common men” Howard is some boy and when a fellow rises to the height of Business Manager of the Class Book it is hardly necessary to dwell upon his other abilities but for the benefit of the unenlightened we will give a few. He is a great basketball enthusiast and in fact man- aged the team for one year. He is furthermore a fine musician and plays the piano beautifully. Next year he journeys to Cornell to uphold the record left by brother Les” and we have no doubt that he will do so. Business Manager Year Book, German Play Baseball Team Z. ESTHER COKE Zealous in all her tasks” Esther did not join our class until her Junior year coming here at that time from the wilds of Oregon. Thus we have one more proof of the national character of E. F. A. Esther likes the Z in front of her name for some unknown reason and as yet we are unable to find out what it stands for. She is very quiet, which is characteristic of a number of our Seniors, and has talent as a pianist. Her work on the Class Book Board has been of high calibre. Class Book Board HELEN M. COLEMAN Shyness never was her fault” Helen was heard to say that we knew nothing about her to put in the Year Book, so we’ll surprise her by putting this in. We don’t believe that Helen burns as much midnight oil as she pretends to, altho she is usually prepared in her lessons. Helen has one accomplishment however which surpasses all others. That is the art of blushing. In the words of the dime novel” the blushes come hot and furious” without the slightest provocation. But cheer up, Helen, we have heard that it takes brains to blush. Picnic Committee JANE M. COTTON A being not among us” We know less about Jane than any other Senior. We had the hardest time of any getting her write-up done. She is very reserved and has many peculiarities. You can never tell what she is going to do next. As far as we know she is not interested in the male gen- der, but this must be impossible for those who know her say that she has a very pleasing manner. She is highly regarded and it is too bad she is not better acquainted with us. STELLA W. CRISPIN Fair with a sparkling glance” Here we have a little bright eyed miss who keeps us guessing. We know she is very well liked and admired but there is some mystery about her which we have been unable to solve. Perhaps it is because she lives near the cemetery. We do know however that she is quite an actress and may some day be in professional theatricals. Entertainment, Picnic Committee M. MADELEINE DALY A friendly sort of girl” Madeleine has many friends in E. F. A. and many are benefitted by her regard.S he is never too busy to help a person to the best of her ability. Her lessons are carefully prepared and the result is that she is on the honor roll every five weeks. Few of our Seniors can rival her in scholastic work. We do not know what Madeleine expects to do after graduation, but whatever it is we are certain she will succeed. Girl’s Vindex Board, Picnic Committee JAMES L. DAVIS A math book in breeches” In the person of this studious and extremely quiet young fellow we find one who might rightly be called a mathematical shark.” Math is his hobby and he is sorry that they don’t teach more of it in E. F. A. One thing to Jim’s credit is the fact that he is not afraid to impart his rare knowledge. If you are in need of help, just take a trip to Room 17 and you’ll find him always ready to aid. Koofe FORD P. DECKER Up from the meadow, fresh with hay” Ford is the only honor student among the boys. He is apparently unsophisticated in everything except his studies. His recitations sometimes border on the supernatural. He possesses a conglomerated method of discourse which is sometimes exasperating. But all joking aside Ford has some fine qualities which are sure to make him prosperous in the time to come. ESTHER M. DEVLIN She has a high aim in life” Esther is one of the girls who comes from South- port and that is proof enough how much we owe to the schools across the river. Always sweet-tempered and ready to help you, Esther is one whom we will all remember. It is true she is rather quiet and retiring and always seems to be making up English IV briefs”, yet all like her and wish her the best of success. VIOLA A. DOUGLAS Her words flow on like water in a brook” Anyone needs only to glance at Viola’s face to know what kind of a girl she is. Her snapping black eyes and smiling countenance are evidence of a happy-go-lucky disposition. She took chemistry for a while and after considerable study was able to dis- tinguish H20 from NH4OH by the smell. CLARENCE A. DUNBAR A fellow of high degree” Scud” has the distinction of being the tallest fellow in school, which however is not his only mark of distinction. He is a great basketball player and high-jumper. The Class of 1915 is lucky to have one of his talent in its ranks. Scud” has his little peculiarities which are common to all men of genius. Clarence has not decided whether he will go to college next year or try his fortune in the cold, cold world. Entertainment, Basketball Team, Baseball Team Track Team IRENE M. DUNNE A merry heart that laughs at care” There is a saying that a sense of humour is the most necessary of all possessions to help one thru life. If this is so Irene's life is sure to be one grand success. She is always ready to play the part of a friend and a right loyal one she makes too. We hear that she is studious and planning to be a teacher, at which she should be good. OLIVE G. EELLS Wee, modest and good” This is one of the girls with whom our class is not very well acquainted. You wouldn’t think to look at her picture that she is as jolly as she really is. Hut just get her in a crowd and see for yourself. She is one of our small seniors but in size only. We are glad to have her among us and wish her success. HELEN J. FAUSNAUGHT Quiet in a good degree” Another one of our quiet and retiring Seniors. She is so bashful that she is always late getting to school. Helen is one of our good students, the kind the teachers would like us all to be. She has also some musical ability and her friends say that she loses her bashfulness when outside of E. F. A. FLORENCE J. FERGUSON The secret of success is constancy of purpose” Florence has one great accomplishment, giggling, and those two that always go with it—pleasantness and cheerfulness. She is ready for fun at any time and usually enjoys herself. Her Friday night parties are said to be a great success. We hope that Florence will be as bright and sunshiny in future life as she has been in E. F. A. 11925 HELEN T. GERSCHEFSKE Thou bearest the stamp of goodness” Helen was the winner of the prize tardy slip con- test but she says that the Werie trains were to blame so we will excuse her. She is so quiet that we have been unable to get as well acquainted with her as we would like. Therefore we can only say that she is a good student and has our highest regard. ABRAM GINSBERG Labor conquers all things” Abe is one of the most conscientious and hard working employees that the E. W. L. R. R. Co. has on its payroll when he is not in school. He is frequently seen pulling the bell-rope and collecting fares. Abe is also a fine track athlete and debator. He is one of the officers of the Forum Debating Society and in fact handles the coin of that club. Abe is also there when it comes to pure unadulterated craziness. He can do more comedy in a short space of time than most of those in the class put together. Forum Debating Society, Track Team HELENA A. GOLDSMITH A maiden never bold” Listen to Helena play dance music, popular songs or any other kind of harmony. She is certainly a won- der at it and many enjoy her ability. Besides this she is quite a studious person and very well behaved. She stands on the right side of the teachers and has never been reprimanded in class. ALGERNON D. GORMAN Ego, ich and je are my best friends” No one in our fair class is more deliberate in their actions than Algernon. He is apparently unruffable, but we doubt the veracity of this statement. He has ambitions as a salesman and will no doubt be success- ful. Agie” always has an air of importance about him which would be inexcusable were it not for the fact that he has something to back it up with. Reception Committee iBoolk ALAN J. GOULD ’’Strong men trembled before his pen” Here we have one of the budding literary genii of the school. From oblivion, Alan sprang into sudden prominence and grabbed every honor in sight. With the aid of a vivid imagination he annexed a position on the Vindex, but what is more remarkable he became editor-in-chief of this book and made a big success of it. He is press agent for all E. F. A. doings and may be a second Scoop” some day. Alan also delights in torturing music with a mouth-organ. However we see a brilliant future in store for this youth in some line of endeavor. Editor in-Chief Year Book, Vindex Board GEORGIANNA GRAY ’’Possesst of unfailing good disposition” Her nickname Sweet” is quite appropriate, which is evident to anyone who knows her. Her favorite subject is domestic science and she can be seen with her little apron almost any time. She is also very fond of outdoor life and gard-ening. We are fortunate and proud in having a girl with such talent and man- ner in our class. WALTER GUNDERMAN Still waters run deep” Walter hails from the respectable but microscopic village of Lowman. We must have some school when fellows from such a distance will journey here to study. Walter is a good fellow and quite some track athlete as he showed us in the interclass meet. He is very proficient in his studies and also quiet and reticent. In fact it would be impossible to even imagine him being sent out of class for whispering or disorder. HEDWIG GUYER The world welcomes sunny people” Nothing pleases Hattie” more than to put it over her opponent in a basketball game, and she usually does it too. She is one of the most dependable players on the team. When she waxes wroth” it is time for her rival to look out. Her school work is good which is more to her credit. We prophesy a quiet domestic life for Hattie” in the future. Girl’s Basketball Team MILDRED I. HARRINGTON Brisk and talkative is she” Mildred deserves a lot of credit for playing the difficult role of Alvina”, the old maid, in the Class Play. She did it however to perfection and showed fine talent as an actress. She is fond of horseback riding and may be seen at times dashing along in the country on her trusty steed. Mildred likes the fellows and usually manages to appear at all the doings. Class Play SYBIL HAUVER She is likewise good and fair” Sybil is the Senior Cornetist. She is very musical and is in great demand on account of it and also because of her pleasing disposition. She is a member of the basketball team and has distinguished herself by many fine plays during the season. She certainly has all round ability and our only mark against her is that she confused carbon bisulphide with acetic acid in chemistry. Girl’s Basketball Team, Orchestra EMMA E. HAVENS Much in little” This lively and humorous party is one of our most accomplished students. She possesses an inexhaustible store of stories and knowledge and ready wit. She is also a very clever actress and can imitate nearly every character known. She has lightened many minutes by her talent at our class gatherings. Emma is not back- ward in her classes either but is just as accomplished in Eng. IV as she is in portraying Mrs. Ruggles.” Girl’s Vindex Board, Banquet Committee, Girl’s Basketball Team MARGARET CAREY HOGAN Her manners were admired by all” Margaret is a very sweet little girl with a very sweet temper but there are just two things which you can’t do to her. You must on no account slip up to her with a request to borrow paper because a tablet is something she never possesses. Her translations in Virgil are rather fantastical so it would not be wise to go to her for knowledge on it. We also have positive proof that she has a distinct liking for a certain person who is in the same Eng. IV class that she is. Girl’S Vindex Board ERNEST FRANCIS HOLLENBECK There’s mischief in this fellow” Ernie used to be quite a disturber, but the Chemung County Boy’s Conference got hold of him and he is now almost tamed. Except for occasional spasms he is uniformly quiet. He sure is a hard worker which he showed us as a member of the Class Party Committee. He likes to discuss the pros and cons of various subjects with Prof. Wilson. Ernie goes to college next fall and our best wishes go with him in his studious career. Class Party Committee MINNIE L. HOLMES Good, merry and fine-tempered” Minnie has lots of life and enjoys social functions. Perhaps that is the reason she spends little of her thought on school. She has a very good imagination which has materially helped in many ways. Minnie never broke any records as a student, but usually manages to get along. It is said that she likes some- body in Syracuse but we won’t divulge any names. Her good humor and wit have made her many friends who will miss her next year. Girl’s Vindex Board EVERTS H. HOWELL This fellow was born to great things” Too much cannot be said in praise of our president. Surely fortune smiled on us when he was chosen to lead our class. No more manly or square fellow could have been picked. He has shown remarkable aptitude in everything he has undertaken, and these have in- deed been many. His thorough business ability com- bined with his splendid tact, quiet dignity, and forceful speech have made him a fine president in every way. We are indebted to Everts for every success of our Senior year and all his classmates join in wishing him a successful future. President Junior and Senior Classes CLARENCE HUNTLEY Tall, dark and a ladies’ man” We expect to hear of Clarence doing some heroic deed some day because he is certainly a fine appear- ing fellow and would make an ideal hero. He is one of the best half-milers in school and has helped to win many meets for us. He is also good in other events. As proof of his all round ability he served eats” in the lunch room with remarkable dexterity. Track Team, Picnic Committee 'Y'sar Be©lfe CATHERINE E. HYDE May your hearts desires be fulfilled” Friendship with a girl like Catherine is something greatly to be desired. She is a sincere and loyal friend, always ready to help and sympathize with anybody. She showed her ability as an actress in the French Play. Not the least of her accomplishments is her basketball ability. She is one of the best players on the team and is always noticeable by her determined attitude. Girl’s Basketball Team, French Play. EDWARD HARRY IMPSON Genius was born in this fellow’s brain.” Versatility has gained for this youth an enviable reputation together with a fine repertoire of titles and honors. He is the famous artist of this book and indeed the best E. F. A. ever had (friends of Rembrandt, Michael Angelo, Truman Fasset, Leon Smith, et al please don’t throw any bricks.) Harry is also our star comedian, undisputed all round track athlete and a football and basketball player. As Jones” in the Class Play, he made history for E. F. A. Harry has many friends among the fair sex besides. In years to come he will take place in the Hall of Fame with Edison, Roosevelt and others. Entertainment, Class Play, Track Team, Football Team, Class Book Board, Vindex Board WINIFRED JENKINS A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market” Winifred is always laughing or smiling and her red cheeks make it all the more pleasing. Her favorite sub- ject is Physical Geography, so we hear. Her giggles, how- ever, have caused her some trouble in it. She is very pop- ular with the girls which is quite natural. Her disposi- tion will surely make her happy in the future. ANNA H. JESSEN Learned is she in language lore” Anna has awfully pretty auburn hair which does not show off of course in this picture. She also has the cutest giggle (see another page of this book for proof.) She is very studious and good in all her subjects. She takes all the available language in school. Anna is the best of company and very well liked. She is also a great supporter of E. F. A. and present at all the games. She has our best wishes as she graduates this year. GLADYS E. JONES A bright, particular star” Gladys is quiet but has a marvelous capacity for learning. We don’t know what some classes would do if Gladys were not there to make recitations when all others fail. Being an honor student is a mere trifle for her. Her intense pursuit of knowledge compels her to come back next year to take a P. G. course. CLIFFORD JUNE While I live, I live not in vain” Clifford is not particularly noticeable except when he is making a good recitation in class. His only apparent object is to get thru the Academy without much fuss. By his consistent effort he has maintained an unblemished record at E. F. A. His disposition is not too serious which permits him to get some of the fun out of Senior Life. HARRY D. KANE There’s a good deal of fun behind his mild exterior” Pat” is one of those good humored fellows who is never able to get angry. He is always calm and collected and possesses the rare faculty of being able to make a recitation without doing any studying. Harry is fond of the theatrical life which perhaps accounts for his splendid work in the Class Play as Richard, the hero. We prophesy a brilliant future as an actor for him. Class Play ANNA GRACE KELLY May thy days be quiet and fair” Altho we generally see Anna very quiet, still we hear she can be very funny when started. She is a great reader and patronizer of the movies. She can tell you all about the actors and actresses of any show. There are two things Anna doesn’t like—housework and boys. She wants to be a nurse, but whatever she does she has our best wishes for success. up 11 MARY L. KELLY She hath a light heart and manner” Who would ever dream that such a small person could do so much talking? Her conversation makes fun wherever she goes. She has a very friendly manner and is athletically inclined also. We have always heard that good things come in small packages and it is certainly true in her case. Entertainment, Class Party Committee French Play, Girl’s Athletic Association DOROTHY KENNEDY She hath a winning way” Dorothy is the original Shirt Waist Girl”. She has shirt waists fancy and plain, and for every occasion. The best of it is she looks fine in all of them, Before we saw Dip” we never knew how charming freckles could look on pink cheeks. She has a calm dignity surpassing that of a college Senior but she is always sweetly obliging and ready to help you in anything. She dances beautifully, as any who saw her in the Entertainment can testify. In fact there is hardly any- thing that she cannot do. Year Book Board, Entertainment LOVISA KETCHUM One of the quietest girls in school” Altho the majority of the class do not know Lovisa very well, the favored few think a great deal of her. She has never been known to lose that calm, reserved manner of hers, in school at least. Her years at the Academy have been spent in conscientious work which will prove of inestimable benefit to her in later life. NORMA L. KILMER Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit” Norma has the prettiest blushes and eyes of any of our class. When she gives a fellow one of those looks it simply bewilders him. Her outward good looks however are only a sign of her inward grace which has made her very popular and a host of friends among the studes. She likes music and especially to hear a certain fine bass voice. Editor-in-Chief Girl’s Vindex Reception Committee LUCY BELLE KNAPP ’’She has a clever way and a proper tone” Belle is such a loyal soul that she can hardly leave E. F. A. this year but we persuaded her that we needed her in our class. She is fond of getting to school early to take French in the 8:50 class but we don’t see how she does it because the rest of us never get there until 9:00. Everyone likes Belle as she is one of those cheer- ful people who are always ready to make things pleas- ant. HARRY KNETTLES A persevering hard worker” As an assistant business manager of this book Harry earned a name for himself and his ability. He did yeoman work at all times. His steady application to his studies has made him a favorite with the teachers as well as with his classmates. It is only too bad that this lad’s dormant ability was not brought out before his last year in the school. Class Book Board PAUL E. LANDON ”A lion among ladies” Paul is hardly a good student but he has a way of convincing a teacher that he knows the subject. He is one of our Beau Brummels and a notable ladies’ man. He is very popular and in fact was president in our Freshmen and Sophomore years. He is treasurer of our class this year and a very good handler of the coin. Here’s hoping that he succeeds in after life as well as he has in E. F. A. Treasurer Senior Class, Vindex Board SARA L. LATTIMER ’’Diligence has made her successful” Sara possesses all the requisites of a perfect Senior. She studies her lessons, behaves well inside of school, obeys all orders and conducts herself in a dignified manner. Her curly hair is the envy of all the girls who imitate it in vain. She is one of the few female sharks in Physics which pleases Prof. Cady greatly. ♦ B@©Ik JOHN L. LEHMANN Happy as the day is long Corpulence and good humor usually go together and John is strong proof for its truthfulness. His red cheeks, happy smile and laugh make anyone feel good. Nothing can make him mad. He belongs to the Forum Debating Society and the Optimist Club. He has indeed some ability as an arguer but as an optimist he is in a class by himself. When he leaves this year he will leave a gap too big to be filled in more than one sense of the word. German Play, Picnic Committee GUSTAV LEUPELT The Flying Dutchman of E. F. A. Gus” is Mercury personified. He sure can run, being about the fastest dash man the Academy has ever had. He is also a shot putter of excellent ability. At the Rochester and Ithaca meets and the Interclass meet, Gus won many medals and much honor. He also made a fine captain of the team. He c n play the fiddle” with remarkable ability, and is a regular whirlwind in football. Captain Track Team, Orchestra, Football Team EVA M. LIVINGS She has a happy appearance” Here is another one of our talkative girls. But what would we do without Eva. People of her sort rescue us from despair at perilous moments. She is the life of any gathering and we have yet to see her in anything but a happy mood. She always has something to stop and talk about. Eva will be missed from our halls next year because of her agreeable disposition. LAURA M. LOVE JOY She hath knowledge both in play and real life” Yes, here’s Lovie”, the girl with the wonderful hair. Although Laura is very good natured on the subject, let us warn you not to apply to her for the hair tonic she uses because she herself assures us that she uses none whatever. We have it from excellent source that she is interested in the Vindex and although she is not on the board we know that she is well represen- ted by a member of the Editoral Staff. Class Play, Pin Committee up 11 DOROTHY T. LOVELL So light of foot, so light of spirit” She is quiet and calm in bearing and speech as can readily be seen from her slow precise walking. She is fond of a good time but studies nevertheless. Her pet diversion is dancing at which she is very proficient. In fact we predict that she will be a great dancing teacher some day. Entertainment, Banquet Committee ETHEL F. LOWE She was a burning and shining light” Ethel is a mild, quiet girl and devoted student. On account of her calm temperament and desire to help others she is a welcome member of our class. She is one of our best students and even surprises the teachers with her knowledge. She will no doubt be one of the honor students which she deserves to be. We have heard that she is a man-hater but are in some doubt as to its truth. Girl’s Vindex Board A. MARSHALL LOWMAN Imposing in looks and stature” Mush” is one of the class of 1914 who decided that 1915 was really a better class. We wish here to publicly express our appreciation of this honor conferred upon us and the self-sacrifice of Mush”. Mush” is exceed- ingly husky and few can stand against him on the grid- iron. Through injuries the team was unable to have his valuable services this year. Marshall intends to enter Union next fall and battle with the higher mathe- matics of an engineering course. Commencement Invitations HELEN McCANN Modest and simple and sweet” She is very demure and sweet appearing but her close friends say that she can “cut up” when she wants to. She is noted for her sixth period lessons and from being saved heroically from drowning. She is also quite a humorist and we predict that she will some day edit the humorist column in the Ladies’ Home Journal unless—well who knows? Banquet Committee of 115 'Y®� ’ lB ©©ife K. MARJORIE McCRONE Let us be content to be a woman” The class of 1915 is proud of numbering this lass on its roll. Her cheerful smile and ready laugh make her a welcome addition to any gathering. She seems a shy, quiet girl in school but is quite different when out. She has great musical ability and is well liked by all who know her. SARA N. McINERNEY A studious kind of girl” Altho Sara comes from afar, still we never heard of her being late, on that account at any rate. At times she is quiet and at others she is very talkative. She is very jolly and cheerful and has an easy disposition. Besides these'big assets Sara studies very hard and some of her recitations in Vergil are truly remarkable. MADELINE A. McNEVIN “She appears a happy lass” The girl with the pearly teeth and peach-bloom complexion. She is very quiet at times but loves to have excitement also. She has many boy friends and is fond of the movies. Our reporters have been unable to uncover any knowledge about her except that she is good in all her classes and especially Physical Geography. LEO MARKTHALER “Immaculateness is absolutely necessary for me” Leo is the 1915 fashion plate in miniature. He is guaranteed to have positively the latest in everything. To imagine Leo all mussed up and dirty would be a superhuman feat of mind. He is a thoro gentleman and perfect in all matters of etiquette. Leo will pro- bably be president of Kertscher’s someday so he should “bibble”. Reception Committee lB ©©ik LYNN A. MARTIN “His was, indeed a good influence in life while he was still among us; he had a fresh laugh; it did you good to see him; and, however sad he may have been at heart, he always bore a cheerful countenance and took fortune’s worst as it were the flowers of spring.” MARJORIE MASON “I care not for a man” Marjorie looks neither to left or to right in passing down the boy’s hall so the above quotation must be true mostly. She is never ruffled but always slow and calm. She is quite an artist and some good samples of her work can be seen in this book. She has pretty pink cheeks and long silken tresses which make her quite attractive. Marjorie also has her lessons every day and is indeed a splendid student. Year Book Board, Art Editor Girls’ Vindex FREDERICK F. MILLS “Oft seen but seldom heard” Fred is extremely reticent but has a veritable store of knowledge which he evidences on some occasions. The teachers always rely on him as a last resource. He also possesses ability as a baseball player. With these assets it can be readily seen that Fred is well equipped to start a successful career in life. EARL MOORE “He leans most to athletics” Earl is out for everything in the line of athletics in the Academy. He has been on the football team for several seasons and also the baseball team. He also plays basketball to a certain extent. He is a hard, con- sistant and tireless worker which usually repays him plentifully. He is very well liked amongst the fellows who appreciate his good qualities. Baseball Team, Football Team FLOYD MOORE He is a scholar and a worker” Here is a lad who leaves little for us to desire. His characteristics include honesty and modesty. That is sometimes why we hear so little about him. His ambition is to be on the honor roll, in which he usually succeeeds. The teachers for this reason are among his best friends. We expect to number him among our leading citizens in the future. Class Party Committee ETHEL MORROW So dainty and so shy” Ethel is full of the finest qualities embodied in any girl. Although small of stature her heart is as large as Goliath’s. We cannot say more about her heart without implicating a certain young collegian. Illness has prevented Ethel from obtaining as high a standard as she ordinarily gets. Faculty and students alike will remember Ethel as fine dispositioned and a good friend. Reception Committee FLORENCE V. NAGLE I hate to be serious” All of us who saw Florence in the German play realize what an excellent actress she would make. She is a rather quiet girl and few suspected her ability. She is, however, a finished giggler and enjoys herself wherever she can. We are glad she is one of our illustrious class. German Play GERTRUDE R. NAGLER A spirit filled with buoyancy” One seldom hears much from Gertrude but when she does talk, it is worth listening to. She spends her time in school studying, but is far from a grind. She has ambitions as an actress, which we hope will some day materialize. Her pervasive modesty combined with true sincerity will make her future life something worth while. FRANCIS NASH ‘ Small, industrious and cool” Francis is from all appearances interested in only his subjects in E. F. A. He has so many other outside duties that his time in school is somewhat shortened. He has a good business head on his shoulders which is a good requisite for anyone to have. We have been unable to find any additional information about Frencis because of the fact stated in the first sentence. It is enough to state that he shows promise of something good in the future. HELEN C. NEWMAN “She looks on the bright side of everything” Helen is one of our most cheerful and agreeable Seniors. She is carefree but not to a dangerous extent. She is never seen studying but always knows her lessons nevertheless. This proves that she must get them in her sleep. She has some ability as a pianist also. Helen has ambitions to be a Domestic Science teacher at which she will no doubt be a decided success. ALMA E. NOONAN “She possesseth a demure countenance” Alma with her dark hair and pink cheeks is very attractive and bright appearing. Her favorite occupa- tion is collecting the absence slips in the rooms and doing other odd jobs for Miss Taylor. She is one of our brightest pupils and a great favorite among the fellows and girls. Next year she is going to take a Post Graduate course so she will be able to continue her slip-gathering career. French Play. Reception Committee M. ESTELLA OSBORNE “All admired her air and manners” Stella is brilliant in her studies and when it comes to the final reckoning, she will figure well among the first in the race for honors. But even tho she is a “shark” in her classes, strange to say, she finds quite a little time to spend with members of the other sex. No one would believe to see her around the halls, that she is a heart-breaker but appearances are deceitful. Stella has come into sudden popularity and with her good nature is bound to keep it up after she leaves the Academy. Vindex Board upas B ©©ik RAMONA PETTINGILL “A nature-loving, retiring maid” Ramona is very quiet but an earnest worker and good scholar. She is of a peace loving nature all the time. She has a sympathetic manner, and also some little fun in her. These characteristics should give a person somewhat of an idea of Ramona’s good spirit. MILTON M. PINKUS I am Sir Oracle and when I ope my lips let no dog bark” This fellow is noted for his great ability as adebator and orator. He holds the E. F. A. record for using the greatest number of words in a sentence without saying anything. But all joking aside, “Pink” is a marvel at talking and no mob of people can rattle him. He is full of “mirth artd jollity” and always in the thick of any escapades. He is also an actor of no mean ability as he showed in the class play. Like all genii he is pecul- iar but just enough to make him very well liked by students and teachers. Debating Team Leader, Class Play, Vindex, Forum GRACE E. PITTMAN Laugh and the world laughs with you” This quotation admirably suits Grace. Her laugh is contagious to say the least. She is a good stude and seldom makes a false recitation. It was at her sugges- tion that we had our Senior Party a “poverty one”. She possesses fine musical ability as a singer and also pianist. She takes a P. G. course next year which is fortunate for our Alma Mater. Class Party Committee DOROTHY E. PRECHTL Chattering nonsense all day long” Dorothy is always cool and collected and very hard to ruffle. She always is a great fun lover and likes to have a good time. She is a star basketball player and the team will miss her next year. She started -out to take the Swede part in the Class Play but ended up by being selected for the part of “a familiar engaged girl”. She did this part great and may some day be a famous actress. Class Play, Girls’ Basketball Team Girls’ Vindex Board ALLAN PRESTON There’s a good deal of deviltry beneath his quiet exterior” Although this young fellow is Adonis personified, the swelling of his head has never reached the stage where it is impossible to wear a hat. He is full of fun and ready to do the unexpected at any time. Under- classmen look up to Allan as a model to observe and imitate. He is a member of the Year Book Board and rendered valuable and efficient service thereon. Class Book Board, Senior Reception Committee, Chairman Banquet Committee WILLA M. PURPLE An earnest and devoted student” In school Willa is very studious and quiet. Indeed she is one of our best students and has obtained many honors being so. But outside she is full of jokes and smiles and on every occasion has something funny to relate. Perhaps if we had consulted her we would have had better success in obtaining “Komics” for this book. Girls’ Vindex Board CHARLES PUTNAM Go to! Let us be a celebrated individual” Space prevents us from enumerating all of “Jiggs”’ accomplishments, but we will hereby state a few. He is certainly a carefree person in every sense of the word. At least to all outward appearances he is. This is his seventh or eighth year in E. F. A.—we forget which— and he is still happy. “Jiggs” is a wonderful football player and also a very fine business manager. He was the mainstay of the line for several seasons and man- aged the team in our year very successfully. Further- more “Jiggs” is noted for his graceful “Sylph-like” glide. Mgr. Football Team, Football Team, Mgr. Class Play MARIE A. REIDY Bright in appearance and ways” Once more one of the Reidy family graduates with honor from our fair school. She rivals her brother in school activities and surpasses him in scholastic work which means that she is above the ordinary. She has a very bright appearance which is only natural consid- ering the superabundance of her auburn tresses. B ©©fe ROE E. REILLY Look on this picture and see what grace is seated on his brow” E. F. A. has the honor of ripening and starting this “marvolious” youth on his career. Few can surpass “Doc” as an imitator or comedian. He is par excellence at joshing. He displayed his managerial talent when he managed the best football team the Academy ever had in 1913. “Doc” is a shark in Physics and also in Chemistry—When Prof. Kern is absent from the Lab. We forsee a scintillating future for this undersized individual. GEORGE J. RIETMANN Blessings on thee little man” Another example of quality, not quantity. The industry of this youth makes us feel lazy—almost. He does’nt appear to take any interest in the female gender but appearances are sometimes deceiving. George rendered invaluable service as an associate editor of this book for which we wish to extend thanks. He has our heartiest good wishes for a successful future. . Year Book Board BERTHA ROBERTS A modest, becoming kind of a girl” Bertha is our champion whisperer and non-grind. School and her lessons are just side lines with her altho she has the interests of the class at heart. She has something to add to every conversation. She is also somewhat of a society maiden and takes in all the current socials. MORTIMER J. ROSENFIELD His bark is worse than his bite” “Mort” has done more to keep Room 17’s tardy record up than any other fellow. He strolls in every morning, ten minutes late. Mortimer is some scholar and his original recitations in various subjects make even the teachers hesitate at times. “Mort” is also a great talker outside of class and we suggest that he start out as a traveling salesman at which line he should be a great success. JB©@1k RICHARD ROWE Quiet but affable and learned” It is with pride that Dick tells us that his home is located in Seeley Creek. There must be some reason but we have been unable to find it out at the time of going to press. Richard is an all-round good fellow and very, very studious. All the teachers look with favor upon him and call upon him when others falter. His stick-to-it-iveness in tackling hard problems will surely bring him out on top in the future. MARY G. RYAN I wonder if she will still be talking” Our little Mary is just a bunch of nerves and con- versation. When a pencil drops on the floor Mary jumps up as tho she had been shot. She always seems equally startled when Miss Godfrey calls upon her in Eng. IV. Mary is a speed artist on the typewriter and good in all her classes. But if you are planning to take a “hike” into the woods, do not include Mary for she will get fright- ened at every little twig because she thinks it is a snake. RUTH A. SAWDEY Feels like singing all the while” Altho she has never given us any proof of her musical ability, Ruth can sing like a lark and is master hand at the piano. We are glad that she came to us for her Senior year because it is such girls that we need. She is an honor student and it is safe to say that if a few more studied as she does there would be less heart failure at graduation time. MARJORIE SHAFFER All our swains admire her” How many engagements did you have last week, Margie”? Seven or was it eight? You mustn’t get sore at this because you told us yourself so that ought to be pretty good authority. This little girl is more than popular with all her classmates. Here’s hoping that she will have as many friendships when she leaves E. F. A. as she has in it now. Senior Reception Committee MAXWELL SIEGEL Persuading and fairly well spoken” Max is very clever at acting and is some speaker. He made the debating team and did very well in all the meets. He is also one of the officers of the Forum and has done much toward the success of it. Credit must also be given for his work as one of the assistant busi- ness managers of this book. We will in all probability hear of Max some day as the star speaker on the Chautauqua circuit. Year Book Board, Debating Team, German Play, Forum IRVING S. SIMON Small in stature only” Irving has never cast his lot with the debating team but he likes to argue and for the sake of starting one will take the opposite side of any question. How- ever this is not much against Izzy” who has many good points and took the part of the Indian Bigbee” in the Class Play as well as it was possible to do. Class Play ANNA R. SMITH A fair, attractive lass” Anna is very full of life and appreciative of things going on about her. Her ready wit and jolly ways have entertained her numerous friends many times. She has been earnest and conscientious in her work and capable in all she has undertaken. W. MERLE SMITH His deeds exceed all speech” The greatest business head in school. He man- aged the Vindex very successfully and also helped materially with the year book. Merle is a true friend to anyone who uses him right and possesses the sterling qualities of honesty and ability which will make him successful in college and after life. He captured a lady’s heart and so far as we know is still in possession of it. He is a great joker and kidder and always ready to start some fun. He certainly has won the admira- tion of the whole school by his initiative, perseverance and good disposition and our extreme best wishes go with him to Union College next fall. Business Manager Vindex, Class Book Board = (gaLfl° Boolk HELEN M. SNYDER Comely and well mannered” Helen seems so much like one of us” that we can hardly believe that she comes from the country. The natural life must be the cause of her pink cheeks and pretty complexion. She is such a good natured girl and so accommodating that we are fortunate in number- ing her among us. ROBERT SNYDER A lad of exceeding industry” Bob” has distinguished himself by keeping on the right side of the teachers and always having his lessons. He is a conscientious worker and believes in leading the straight and narrow path. His record in E. F. A. has not had a single demerit mark. Without doubt he will be rewarded for his efforts and may laugh at some of his less studious classmates. ALEXANDER SOBLE He hath ability in all lines” Alex is our efficient editor-in-chief of the Vindex”. He put out some of the best issues of that periodical that we ever saw and in doing so made a name for himself. He also has ability as an athlete, chess player, bowler and billiardist. Few fellows have worked hard- er for E. F. A. than Alex during their stay here. He intends to enter Harvard next fall and take a M. D. course. We feel sure that he will be just as popular in that large circle as he has been in the Academy. Editor-in-chief Vindex, German Play RUTH A. SPENCER She hath good looks and wondrous ability” Secretary Senior Class, President Girls’ A. A. Girls’ Basketball Team, Girls’ Vindex Board. Entertainment Did you ever see Ruth when she wasn’t smiling? She is one of those good-natured girls, who never appear to worry and who have so much school spirit. She is president of the girls’ athletic association and a member of the basketball team. Indeed she has won many a contest with her clever work. Ruth has also done much for the class as secretary. No one could have been chosen who would have shown so much true ability as she has. DANIEL E. SULLIVAN Quiet, unassuming but exceedingly wise” Here we have one of varied accomplishments all of which are well done. Daniel’s bean” is of high calibre and there are few things that he cannot do. As Athletic Editor of the Vindex, member of the Year Book Board, and Secretary of the Athletic Council he showed the same steady ability. Some day we will read in the papers about Sullivan, the great corporation lawyer and how he defeated the opposition against odds and won the case. Year Book Board, Vindex Board, Secretary Athletic Council, French Play CARL TANNER Faultless to a fault” We hardly know how to begin our write-up on Carl. He has such a varied disposition and so many different ways that we can never tell what he is going to do next. He has high regard for his ability as an athlete and does possess a little as a pitcher and also a high-jumper. He desires to be an architect or some kind of a pen or pencil shover in the future and we hope he will be rewarded. Chairman Picnic Committee WILLIS TEMPLAR A gentleman of the first order” No description of Cobby” could possibly do him justice so we will quote extracts from some recent remarks of his own. Huh? why it’s a cinch. I’m a born manager and basketball is second nature with me. Write? I should say so! Why, I wrote nearly everything in this book (liar!) and besides I’m a win- ner with the girls. I realize I’m modest but I believe in blow your own horn or the same shall not be blown.” The above is somewhat exaggerated but Cobby” does have exceptional ability and his place will be hard to fill next year. Year Book Board, Manager Basketball Team, Chairman Senior Reception Committee J. BERNARD TOOMEY The pompous misery of being great” Bun” is one of the most popular and greater lights of our class and well deserves the distinction. He is always ready to do anything and few work as hard for E. F. A. as he does. Whether taking the lead- ing part in the Entertainment, making speeches or managing Baseball teams (not to mention taking the girls out), he does his best which means to perfection. Bun” was simply great in the entertainment and for three years managed the B. B. team successfully. With all his talent and good nature he will be sure to be one of our most famous alumni in the future. Entertainment, Manager Baseball Team, Football Team B©@Ik JOHN L. TURNER A fellow of mark and likelihood” This bright, energetic Senior is some peppery. His red hair matches his disposition perfectly, and there is usually action where John is present. It is certainly a shame that Mr. Personius could not bring out the natural color of John’s hair, for it is really his crowning feature. John is planning to be a Civil Engineer, and by way of getting practice helped build the Grand Central Avenue pavement. We are sure that he will get there” some day. Banquet Committee DEWITT B. TUTTLE I do loathe to talk” This youth is very bashful and reticent. In fact he is often afraid to get up in class and recite although he knows all about the subject. He is quiet and unob- trusive and certainly must have gathered some knowl- edge in his stay here. In time he will no doubt out- grow his quiet manner and make himself heard in the game of life. DONNA D. VanALLEN Fair, steadfast and demure” With her dark eyes and pretty hair Donna is very pleasing to look upon. Although she did not join us until her Senior year, she has rapidly gained popularity and a good reputation for ability. It is rumored that she is a W. C. T. U. worker and a suffragette. We are sure, however, that she is a fine actress, as she played the part of Mrs. Goodly splendidly in our Class Play. Class Play GERTRUDE E. VIEWEG Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, And every grin so merry draws one out” Gertrude is the care-free member of the Vieweg family. Nothing can ruffle or bother her in the least. She is always smiling or laughing, even in Fourth English. She drew all the nails out of her coffin long ago, that is, the care nails. Gertrude is very smart however and a very agreeable companion. ROBERT A. WILBUR A man after his own heart” On the third page of the Mozart Program may be seen the following in small type: Robert Wilbur, chief usher.” The Mozart Management must be congrat- ulated on its fine selection for nobody has gotten by him yet. Bob” very creditably performed the job of getting our class pins and did a lot towards making the Senior Party a success. We almost forgot to mention that Bob” is some winner with the ladies and seems to have made quite a hit with a few. Class Pin Committee, Class Party Committee BEULAH WOOD Not content to be just a woman” Beulah has been a member of our class for just this one short year and our regret is that the previous ones of her high school life could not have been spent with us. Her stay here has been long enough for us to become acquainted with her sweetmindedness and seriousness. She is the sort of friend who can always be relied upon and we advise you all to become friendly with Beulah. MILDRED K. YOUNG Musical and a good dancer Mil” seems to have the happy faculty of slipping into Room 16 just as the tardy bell rings. She never forgets that a miss is as good as a mile”, so always gets there on the sixtieth second”. We will excuse this however because Mil” usually has her lessons and shines particularly in Vergil. She is also a beauti- ful piano player and will always oblige you if you want music. Entertainment, Senior Reception Committee A. WILLIAM YUNGSTROM There an’t a many like him. If there was we shouldn’t want no churches” From the very start of his high school career, Bill has been a hard worker. He is one of the best liked fellows in the Academy and a fine debator and actor as well. He took the part of the Dear Bishop” in a very realistic way. His disposition is entirely free from grouch and this may account for the many friends and one special friend which he has made during his school life. We wish him success in whatever walk of life he chooses to tread. Class Play, Vindex Board, Debating Team, Forum HELEN F. ZIMMERMANN She has becoming jollity and talent At last we have Helma”, the Swedish servant girl. She made a screaming hit in the Class Play in one of the funniest roles ever invented. Helen indeed has remarkable ability not only as an actress but also as an artist. She is very original in everything she does. She is quite a success as a comic cartoonist and also in the labyrinth’s of Solid Geometry. We predict a scintillating future for Helen as a second May Irwin. Girls’ Vindex Board, Class Play, Salutatorian MARION LEAVITT Last but not least” It certainly is a proof of what a popular school we have, since Marion came all the way from Indiana to be with us. With her happy-go-lucky way and friendly manner she has many friends both inside and out of the Academy. We hope Marion will pardon us for putting her picture last. Her status as a Senior did not arrive until late so that we were forced to do it. We also regret to say that we are in dire danger of losing Marion from our fair city, considering the regu- larity with which she receives letters from a city in Indiana. She took Prof. Kern’s course in applied Chem. and passed it gloriously, thus showing her versatility. To Anna R. Taylor, Little Annie” the Class of 1915 sends its heartiest regards for her industry in safe- guarding our welfare. She is always ready to give us a slip when we’re late or in a scrape”. Few people in the building work with such industry and obtain such good results as she does. Everyone of our fair class will remember Miss Taylor as being a good friend of all of us. ♦fFN JUNE 1911, the future tribe of 1915 went forth from the ranks of II the lowly and came to the country of E. F. A., where they were separated into two divisions, treated with contempt and forced to suffer ignominies of all sorts and varieties in the fall of that same year. But they were mighty, even with their strength divided, and soon became recognized as powerful members of the nation. Frank Ferguson of No. 2 and Paul Landon of No. 3 were chosen big chiefs and led their sections wisely and well. The division of the North combined with the other people of the nation and held a big dance or hop which was exceedingly enjoyed and successful from every point of view. Many other happy times were enjoyed by this division in its infancy. How often, during single sessions, would some one slip out to get some eats and come back to distribute them to the dismay of the teachers. Who cannot remember how Miss Wixon ruled chapel with an iron hand and made various members of the tribe sit on opposite sides of the throne. And how well I remember the time some- body set an alarm clock in the skeleton closet in Prof. Rundlett’s room and Mr. Parker came in. However the clock did not go off, so nothing happened. And also Miss Hibbard, when she read the notes in chapel caused many embarrassing situations. The tribe also had a party in Southport (alias Brooklyn) with their brethren in arms. But the people of the South were not to be outdone by their comrades, so they gathered around and straight- way had a sleigh ride to the metropolis of Pine City, where they likewise had a dance or hop in the Queer Men’s” Hall. They also had a team which played the ancient game of baseball well and cleverly. This team was invincible and vanquished all their opponents easily. Thus it can be seen that in their first year the tribe of 1915 began well and strongly. They overcame all obstacles and passed all trials. THUS ENDETH THE FIRST YEAR OF THE TRIBE OF 1915. After a couple of months’ recuperation from their previous strenuous efforts the two divisions of the tribe assembled again in their respective quarters and lorded it over the incoming Freshmen with vigor and skill acquired by experience. The organization was not perfected, however, until January, when the two divisions came and were merged together in the handsome new capital. As T4 had been supreme over them in their first year, so were they supreme over T6 when that motley crowd arrived to grace the halls of the nation. This powerful tribe of T5 now organized in new quarters and began systematic operations in a Spring campaign. Paul Landon was elected Grand Big Mogul and his reign of five months was short, but sweet. The tribe demonstrated their superior talents in every- thing, much to the discomfiture of the other people of the nation. Many adventures were encountered in the strange place which, however, soon became loved by all. THUS ENDED THE SECOND YEAR OF THE TRIBE OF 1915. In September 1913, the tribe assembled once more, battle scarred and weather beaten, but tried and true veterans of the nation. They straight- way held a big Pow-wow and elected Everts Howell as High Jinks and Big Chief. This was his first executive office but he soon showed his worth, calm judgment and courageous spirit. A lucky star watched over the tribe when he was elected for he led us thru our later trials with neatness and dispatch. Under his leadership the tribe resumed its starry course. They were second in the Annual Athletic Carnival and would have been first but for the fact that they failed to get more points than their superiors in age. There was considerable excitement and scramble in this meet when our courageous tribe filched the ’14 banner and succeeded in maintaining posses- sion of it despite all attacks. The tribe here showed its grit and determina- tion which carried it onward to the end. A big social gathering was held in the gym later on and then a picnic was held at Rorick’s- on-the-Chemung. Good times were enjoyed at each of these events which brought the class into closer relation and made a more friendly feeling. THUS ENDETH THE THIRD YEAR OF THE TRIBE OF 1915. The now world-famous tribe gathered for the last time in its history and immediately began to make a name for itself which will stand forever as the most wonderful in all the annals of the nation of E. F. A. They assumed their rightful title of Seniors, that awe-inspiring name, and became dignified and judicious in all things, likewise. They elected Everts Howell once more to be Big Chief and Medicine Man with confidence in his judgment. Miss Helen M. Hibbard was chosen as counselor and advisor. She made our success still greater by her sincere interest, originality and good advice in all our doings. Without her our efforts would have been somewhat feeble. One thing af ter another came for the tribe and all passed smoothly and well. First the Reception was a grand success. Then affairs ran along smoothly for a while with intermittent pow-wows and gatherings. Then came the Inter-tribe meet in which T5 was one-sidedly victorious with their wonderful team. Impson and Leupelt carried off enough places to win the meet alone. Indeed the tribe waxed exceedingly wroth and severely chastised the underclassmen. Soon afterwards they gathered round in the gym and had a combination poverty and masquerade party which proved to be marvoliously” successful. Not long after this an extremely sad event occurred for the tribe. Lynn Martin, one of the most highly esteemed and best liked fellows in the class, was forced to leave us and the world thru a prolonged illness. Hi 5 death caused us great sorrow and we will always remember him as one of the most honored and gentlemanly members of our class. A farce comedy, What Happened to Jones” was produced by several talented members of the tribe. It was a scream and fully up to expecta- tions. On Arbor Day the tribe caused to be planted numerous future trees in the immediate vicinity. Then a little later they held a picnic at the same place on the river as before and it was of the characteristic success of the tribe. Then there was caused to be put out a book called the Year Book” which was most wonderful in all respects. Copies of it are still extant and are viewed with great awe by all who see them. Finally last but not least came COMMENCEMENT where we ended our beloved school life and began our worldly life with great promise. The members of the tribe separated at this point and all went on their various ways but all became famous and good. They made names for themselves in all kinds nf work —Alan J. Gould. “HcpftH, not Words” With our red and white colors before us, With Deeds, not Words” as our aim, The class of Fifteen” with ambition, Has striven for learning and fame. Four years we have journeyed together, Through pleasure and pain we have toiled, With always this one thought before us— Our colors must never be soiled. And now that our school days are over And we enter a pathway untried, May the words of our motto still lead us To deeds in a world new and wide. Emma E. Havens SONG Tune, Tipperary” Up some little freshmen came to E. F. A. one day, As they now felt quite grown up, sure every one was gay, Singing songs of football, baseball, lads and lassies fair, ’Till they got excited and they shouted then and there: It’s a long way to graduation, It’s a long way ahead; It’s a long way to graduation, We won’t study till we’re dead! What’s the use of education ? What we all want is fun; It’s a long, long way to graduation, Our hearts are right young.” The exams these freshmen wrote one dreadful day in June, Made them feel downhearted and they sang another tune, If I made mistakes” said each, don’t lay the blame on me; Teachers poor, exams so hard, I’m worried as can be.” Such a short way to graduation, Such a hard way to go; We’re the bluest in creation ’Cause our counts are down so low. Foreign roots and stems impede us, Family trees lie in our way; It’s a short, short way to graduation, Great’s our dismay.” Now, as troubled Seniors, we must burn the midnight oil, Local credit is the thing to save us much hard toil: Business writing counts a point, and music it counts two; So we’ll try hard to smile a while and sing this song way through. Helen M. Hibbard ®n lOgnn Parttu He came among us for a while, With purpose high and courage strong. We marked the sweetness of his smile In all our heedless, laughing throng. He smiled, and went his quiet way. He did his task with faithful zest, And bravely strove from day to day To make of life the very best. His Alma Mater’s lofty halls Shall know her little son no more, But every class-mate’s heart recalls The beauty of the smile he wore. A lovely flower, in rocky ways— An angel-note, in discord wild— So seems to us, in after days, The memory of a sainted child. fi JUNIOR CLASS (ElaHfi of 191H—loys Babcock, Harold Breese, Lyman Benson, Leslie Bryan, Larnard Bower, Edmund Brickwedde, Joe Birkholz, Fritz Chely, Louis Curtis, Gordon Copeland, Harold Crowley, Eugene Cusick, William Collson, Ranger Curtin, Charles Campbell, R.

Brooks Osborne Impson Sullivan Tftnitex The Vindex with Alexander Soble as Editor-in-chief and W. Merle Smith as Business Manager had a very successful year. Without any reflection on the Vindices put out in former years it can be said truthfully that some of this year’s issues were the best ever assembled. One of the notable features was the issue put out in May by the girls with Norma Kilmer as Editor-in-chief and Mabel Brown as Business Manager. The Vindex also put out a pamphlet containing the E. F. A. songs and yells. Paul Landon was elected Associate-editor and he worked hard for the suc- cess of the paper. Miss Bailey, as Faculty Advisor, wrote several fine poems and gave assistance in choosing the copy. The Literary editors wrote several fine stories during the year. They were Thelma Bishop, Stenson Killea and Alan Gould. The comic department was kept up by Estella Welles, Thomas Carr and John Brooks. Clarence Avery and Estella Osborne handled the exchanges. Milton Pinkus and Marion Rice edited Among Ourselves”. The Forum editor was William Yungstrom, and Daniel Sullivan wrote some fine articles in the Athletic Department. Harry Impson as Art Editor drew several fine covers. Vinton Stowell also contributed to this department. The business end was capably taken care of by Merle Smith and his assistants. Guy Shoemaker deserves special mention for his fine business tact as first assistant. William Roosa, Howard Basler and Harold Brooks also took charge of various parts of this department. Roosa will be Business Manager next year. Mr. Nichols acted as Faculty Advisor thruout the year. bflJz c “ Sft . 03 C 03 W) c 03 Cfl rH 0) tt) Jh 3 c b£ U H w HH u o c ) o £ t-H H CQ W Q S £ 0 o JFnrum The year of 1915 began the formation of the first debating club of the Academy which has had its room in the building. In the early part of the year a feeling was stirred up and enough enthusiasm aroused to organize a Debating Club which would be an open society of the school and anyone wishing to join could do so if approved. The fellows who were out for the debating team formed a nucleus around which to form the club together with Prof. Wilson and others interested in the scheme. Its main object was to give members an opportunity to train in public speaking and compete for the debating team. Prof. Wilson is very well suited for the position as coach which he has held for some time: He has coached some of the finest teams ever produced at E. F. A. and the students should appreciate his efforts. During the year a num- ber of interesting and very lively debates were held by the club. The members became enthused and worked hard when given a chance. There is to be a debate on the suffrage question between a team from the forum and a team of girls from their club later in the year. The Forum is to spring something before Assembly some morning which will be a rare treat. At the time this book goes to press it was still anticipated. The question, Resolved: That New York State should adopt the Short Ballot in its Selection of State Officials and the Appointment of the Judiciary”, was the one submitted by Binghamton to us for the annual debate for the Amherst Cup. The Blue and White orators have chosen the negative side and they will surely win out. For various reasons the debate has been indefinitely postponed. The members of the team are Milton Pinkus, leader, Harold Babcock, Maxwell Siegel and William Yungstrom. All are experienced and hope to win if the debate is eventually held. The officers of the Forum who have carried on the club successfully are: Thomas Carr, president; Max Siegel, vice-president; Benjamin Kaplan, secretary; and Abram Ginsberg, treasurer. The Forum room is in the basement and has been attractively decorated. Next year the organization will expand and be a still greater credit to the school. The following are members: Thomas Carr, Max Siegel, Harold Babcock, Milton Pinkus, Abram Ginsberg, Ben Kaplan, Judson Hoover, L. Chernoff, Ernest Hollenbeck, Clarence Avery, Earl Wemple, Thomas McGill, John Lehmann, Stewart Hyde, Percy Snyder, W. Stiles, E. C.

A.” While not in much prominence as yet they give great promise for the future. A constitution has been adopted and several lively debates have been held amongst themselves. The officers are as follows: Thelma Bishop, president; Helen Zimmermann, vice-president; Lois Dann, secretary; Elsa Brookfield, treasurer. The honorary mem- bers and faculty advisors are Miss Manley and Mr. Wilson.

Bernard Toomey, Manager Slpumti nf tljr laakrtball Reason One of the most successful seasons of basket- ball ever seen at our school was finished this winter. The team numbers among the best ever produced by E. F. A. An exceptionally fast schedule was arranged by Manager Templer, including games with Williams- port, Dickinson Seminary, Corning and others of equal calibre. This schedule was completed by the team with the fine record of thirteen victories and four de- feats. Both Cortland and the Corning Free Academy succeeded in winning one game, while Williamsport defeated us twice. The latter team was the only one superior to the Academy as we defeated the first two COACH ERNEST DOCKSTADER teams on our own court. Much interest was shown in the games with our old rivals, Binghamton Central, but the Parlor City five was no match for the Academy and went down to defeat in two decidedly one-sided contests. Coach Ernest Dockstader, the former star Colgate player, coached the team with remarkable success. It is safe to say that no coach in former years has shown as good a result for one season’s work. He took some raw material and molded a fine team from it. Five of this year’s team will be back next winter and so a fine team is assured. Those who made up the team were: Dunbar, center; Williams and Captain Sunderlin, forwards; Hunt and Holley, guards. Taynton, Shepard and Butler subbed in nearly all the games. Most of the team were veterans, but Shepard and Taynton are new and should be wonders next year. Dunbar proved once more his wonderful jumping ability and outstripped nearly all his opponents. Williams was the heaviest scorer on the team. He is a sure shot when anywhere near the basket and is one of the most finished players ever seen on an E. F. A. court. Captain Harry Sunderlin played a fast steady game thruout the season and shot most of the fouls for the team. Ralph Hunt played another stellar game at guard. He was in every scrimmage and kept his man’s score down in every game. He should make the Union team next year with ease. Kenneth Holley played the other guard position with good skill. He was a veritable stone wall on the defense, being the man left to guard the team basket. Taynton played in a number of games and showedigreat ability. Butler and Shepard jumped in when called upon and played good games. Williams, Holley, Sunderlin, Shepard and Taynton will be back next year and they will surely form the E. F. A. five again. With such a fine aggregation another fine record should be made. Charles Curtin was elected Manager and is getting his schedule started already. The ability of each member of the team can best be shown from the following individual records and scores: ilttiiimbual i mirii Harry Sunderlin, right forward Charles Williams, left forward Clarence Dunbar, center Ralph Hunt, left guard Kenneth Holley, right guard William Taynton, substitute forward Raymond Butler, substitute guard Vincent Shepard, substitute guard and Field Goals Foul Goals Total 55 25 135 111 8 230 96 9 201 11 0 22 1 0 2 23 0 46 1 0 2 d 11 0 22 ®raut Sororii nf (Sarnra E.

However, a number of exciting and brilliant games were played which gave some, players an opportunity to show their fine ability. Some fine material was unearthed by Coach Leo Nagle, and the members of last year’s team all kept up their records. “Les” Benson even outdid his last year’s excel- lent work. He played not only center, his regular position, but also in the backfield when called upon to do so. Ralph Hunt played the hardest and greatest game of his career. He was a second Pennock on the defense besides breaking up formations of the opposition. Putnam, at tackle, played his same won- He was the strongest man on the team and with Hunt (Putnam was too modest to put this in so we did it derful game in every contest, held up the line at critical times, for him.) Williams and Leupelt in the backfield played sensational games despite their injuries which kept them out for some time. They proved consistent ground gainers and good open field runners. Horigan as usual was the man called upon when a few yards were needed. His great bulk opened holes and made gains when all others failed. Impson, Taynton, Hogan, McKinney and Stratton took part in a number of games in the backfield. Curtin at end and Cusick in center proved surprises. Altho light in weight, they made up for this by playing fast, heady games in every contest. Captain Cronin, thru injuries, was out of most of the games, but while in showed his wonderful judgment and remarkable punting ability. Few high school kickers can touch Campy” either at drop kicks or long spirals. Harry Sunderlin took Cronin’s place at quarter when the former was forced out, and put up a great game. Other men who played during the season were Hoffman, Mangan, Chamberlin, Backer, Mowrey, Connealy, Hillman, Digby Brooks, Sanford and Kinner. Of this bunch Hoffman, Mangan, Backer, Mowrey and Connealy showed to the best advantage. The last two played in every game and showed their old time skill. Mowrey should be a wonder again next season. Much credit is due Coach Nagle. Altho beset with innumerable difficulties he molded a fighting team and a good one. They were beaten badly by Athens, Cornell Freshmen and Mansfield but not dishonorably. Every defeat was administered by a vastly superior team in weight and coaching. Then again Williams, Horigan, Leupelt, Putnam and Cronin were out in important games on account of injuries. Some of the crowds that attended the games were disappointing while others were gratifying. The cheer leaders, Bob” Nicol and Mabel Brown worked harder than anyone else. They kept the crowd noisy while it was there and loyally supported the team at all times. The victory over Binghamton was the most pleasing on account of the intense rivalry existing between the two schools. This game and those with Mansfield and Williamsport were some of the fastest games ever seen in this vicinity. Les” Benson will be captain of 1915’s eleven and will have such excellent men as Mowrey, Cusick, Connealy, Mangan, Williams and Curtin as a nucleus around which to build his team. Mr. Nagle will in all probability continue as coach, and will no doubt mold a fine team. Here’s hoping for a successful season in the fall! Charles S. Putnam, Manager At the time this goes to press, the E. F. A. base- ball team had beaten Corning and Williamsport in two good games out of town and shown great promise for the remaining contests. Under the careful coaching of Walter Heffernan, a former State League player, the team showed great promise. Some fine material was unearthed for the positions made vacant by last year's graduations. Burke O’Connor was captain and star pitcher of the team. He possesses a bewildering assortment of curves and good control. Bernard Toomey was manager and arranged some fine games for the team. Season tickets for fifty cents were sold for the four home games. They will probably be played at Recreation Park if it can be obtained. Shepard made good last year’s promise as a catcher and was the star receiver this year. Clarence Dunbar was the successful candidate at first. His long reach and hitting ability landed the place for him. Howard Clute was a big star at second. This was his first year on the team and it is only a pity that he did not come out before. Earl Moore played regularly at short with fine ability and Leo Backer held down the hot corner very nicely. In the outfield Ralph Hunt, Harry Sunderlin and Joe Brickwedde were the first string men. Charles Williams and June Levy were the substitutes for the nine. The team as a whole presented a very strong appearance and should give their remaining teams a hard tussle.

Under the leadership of Captain Leupelt and Manager Charles Cole, a fine team was picked to represent the Blue and White. Coach Garrick Taylor, a former captain of Syracuse University team, gave the fellows who came out some fine training and did more for the success of the team than any previous coach the Academy has ever had. The Interclass track meet held at the Armory on March 12th was a huge success. The Seniors easily grabbed the highest honors but the other classes put up a fight. A big crowd of students cheered their respective teams with much gusto. Harry Impson and Gus Leupelt were the stars, scoring about thirty points between them. The Seniors scored 51 points as against 40 for the remaining classes. On April the tenth, the team went to Rochester and proceeded to capture second place in the interscholastic meet. Leupelt collared three second places; Impson, three thirds; Colson won the mile and our team was second in the relay. Colson was the find of the season, having developed into the best miler we have ever had. He has beaten Ted Townsend’s record for the mile. Leupelt demonstrated his wonderful ability in the dashes and shot-put. His time for the 100 has been clocked in 10 seconds flat. He has a bright future in college before him. Impson proved the all round star once more. In the hurdles, jumps, pole vault, and runs Harry was a star of highest calibre. On April 24th, the team went to Ithaca and came out ninth. Leupelt, Colson and Huntley placed. The team later on went to Bath and trounced Haverling 58 to 46. Leupelt and Huntley starred Gallavan showed speed in the 440 and won his E on'the team. Flynn and Van Horn took part in the dashes. Huntley was in the pole vault, high jump and half mile. In the other distance runs were Basler, Miller, Nelson, McCann and Ginsberg; jumps, Ginsberg, Kaplan, Cole and Dunbar. , COACH GARRICK TAYLOR Cole (manager) Miller Gallavan Urarers of tt|p football Saarball Backer Lowman Backer Benson Leupelt Brickwedde Connealy McKinney Clute Curtin Mangan Dunbar Cusick Mowrey Hunt Cronin Putnam Moore Chamberlin Reilly Nicol B.

Juanita Scranton was chosen as manager of the basketball teams. Regular gymnasium classes were held on two days of the week and many of the girls participated in them. Miss Wright was in charge and proved a very capable instructor. Exercises were done and basket- ball teams representing the classes were organized. Other teams were also formed and every girl, who wanted to, played on one of them. The playing of this game gave the girls much good exercise and sport. Some lively contests were enjoyed during the year. A team representing the entire school was selected and they played a few games, namely those with Corning and Van Etten. They won both of these games after hard playing. The Corning game developed into a no score contest until the final period, when Dorothy Prechtl scored one goal, the only one made by either team. The rest of the members of the team were: Ruth Spencer, Kathryn Hyde, Emma Havens, Sybil Hauver and Hattie Guyer. They also defeated Van Etten 8 to 0. The above team are all Seniors so they were also the school champions, having defeated the Juniors 10 to 1 and the Freshmen 10 to 8. The girls’ sports idea is a fine one and deserving of better support. It promotes better feeling among the girls and gets them interested in the branches of sport which need the help of the students. It is to be hoped that next year it will be carried out on a larger scale and more girls will come out.

O’Brien the musical and dramat- ic season at E. F. A. has turned out very successfully. He coached our Entertainment, The Drum Major”, in such a way that it was the finest ever produced at the Academy. He drilled the orchestra into a fine organization during the year and they added much to all the assemblies. He also taught the Glee Club the mysteries of vocal singing and led the harmony by the whole school every Friday morning. Great credit is due Mr. O’Brien for his untiring interest in the welfare of the Academy. He has worked hard and it is to be hoped that he will be reengaged for future years. Brum ilMajur” This play was the second musical comedy to be given by the athletic association and it was by far the best of the two, altho the one previous was a very fine show. But this year’s operetta had the finesse and music of the highest grade of musical comedy. The play was staged April 25th and 26th in the Auditorium as usual. Large crowds saw all the perform- ances and were well rewarded for their attendance Miss Margaret Fay, Peg , made the biggest hit of the play as Babette”, a simple French country lass. She possesses a wonderful voice, pleasing personality and fine acting ability. It was her first attempt at such a thing and she made good with a rush. Les” Benson as Jean” played opposite Miss Fay and proved the rich quality of his voice once more. His duet with Miss Fay, One Little Bird”, was encored the most of any. He was the Drum Major” and did his part to perfection. Margaret Kane as Clarice”, a Parisian beauty, and Bun” Toomey as Leroux”, took the other principal parts very well. Miss Kane has a remarkable soprano voice and all her songs were excellent. Mr. Toomey gave a fine exhibition of acting and also sang his songs well. Mabel Brown as Suzanne” took a minor part but did it extremely well, and also sang excellently. Marion Leavitt and Louise Herrick took other parts among the girls in a splendid manner. Brooks Hoffman, Leo Horigan, Clarence Dunbar, Raymond Butler and Russell Judson took the remaining parts in the cast. There was a fine chorus and several good specialties were introduced. Grasier Schornstheimer together with Mr. O’Brien composed several pieces for the opera. These selections included the opening ensemble and the closing pieces. The music as a whole was excellent and every number was finely given and possessed good harmony. In the opening chorus the Gypsy Girls, Hucksters, Hawkers and Flower Girls gave little dances and songs with pretty scenic effects. The Gypsy girls were Ruth Spencer, Mildred Young, Stella Crispin and Thelma Bishop. Harry Impson was the Gypsy Hag”. The Hucksters were Harold Babcock, Lawrence O’Connor, Benny Kaplan and Louis Miller. The Flower Girls were Hazel Brooks, Ruth Reber, Marion Sullivan and Frances James. The Hawkers; Clarence CHARLES X. O’BRIEN Avery, Myer Hesselson, Harold Shay and Lawrence O’Connor. The above were all in the chorus besides the following: Boys—Thomas Carr, Clarence Beam, Francis Hayberg, Richard Thurston, Thomas McGill and Ernest Hollenbeck; Girls Helena Harrington, Mary Kelly, Margaret Hogan, Gertrude Albert, Marjorie Sherman, Mary Campbell, Catherine Moore, Cassie Cross, Jennie Cronin, Alma Noonan, Katharine Battin, Margaret Ronan and Katherine Hyde. Some of the finest specialties ever produced here in school were introduced during the play, mostly in the second act. They were put on at appropriate times and were highly enjoyed. The big dancing number by Helen Bevan Co. was a big hit. Miss Bevan sang her little Irish song Mollie Durango” and with her company composed of Dorothy Kennedy, Mary Thurston, Lillian Vandervelde, Dorothy Lovell, Richard Thurston, Harry LaBurt, Lawrence O’Connor and Daniel Buckley, danced thru several encores. Martha Richford Co. in Cuddle Down” were very cute. The specialty was done by the smallest girls in school. Those who assisted Miss Richford were Misses Kane, Dempsey, Lande, Townsend, Strode, Maley, O’Hare and Eagen. Some fine dancing was given by Benjamin Hyman and Alma Rosenfield in the first act. Hyman and Ben Kaplan also delighted with a Russian Cossack dance, assisted by the Gypsy Girls. Harry Impson was very clever in his Gypsy song Romany”. The show as a whole was a rare treat and establishes a precedent for future productions. The singing of the principals was good thruout the show. They worked well together at all times. The entire credit for the success of the Drum Major” goes to our esteemed comrade and genius, Charles X. O’Brien. His work was done nobly and well in all departments. We are to be congratulated on having such an able associate. Bernard Toomey and Charles Ruddick attended to the business end, and Mr. Cady had charge of the tickets. aHjp GDrrijefltra The E. F. A. orchestra has had another very successful year under Mr. O’Brien’s careful tutelage. They rendered efficient and fine service on various occasions during the year. Gustav Leupelt acted as leader for the organization. The Orchestra played every Friday morning in the Auditorium. They also gave several selections at the Interclass Track Meet in the Armory. They played before the play and between the acts of the Drum Major” very well. Besides this they lightened the times between the acts of the Senior Play, What Happened to Jones”. They are all to be congratulated upon their fine work thruout the entire year. OUult While the Glee Club this year did not amount to as much as in former years, still it gave good training and experience to many who wanted to train their voices. Its main purpose was in fact to teach the elements of vocal singing to the students who desired it. Mr. O’Brien as usual was the man behind the gun”. The Cantata sung at the Colonial showed what fine talent was in the glee club. Their selection The Manger Throne”, was beautifully given and heartily appreciated. CHAS. X.

From start to the final curtain, the show was one continuous round of fun and excitement, which brought out big audiences to all the performances. All members of the cast showed excep- tional ability in their respective parts. None outshone the others in ability, the only difference being that some had more to do than others. The play was coached by Miss Josephine Bailey of our faculty with such excel- lent results that she should be engaged to coach all the future ones. The orchestra furnished music between the acts very capably. Owing to the fact that the tickets for the play sold slowly at first, the members of the class buckled down themselves and succeeded in disposing of enough to clear a handsome sum for the treasury. Enthusiastic crowds filled the auditorium at each show, and all expressed themselves as being delighted with the play. Rare judgment was used in choosing the play for 1915 to stage. It is a scream- ing farce and there is not a dull moment in the entire play. Some of the finest talent in school was available for the play and it was put to good use. Harry Impson, the most versatile member of our class, took the leading role of “Jones”, a traveling sales- man. He once again showed his fine talent in a manner which did our hearts good. He had perfect stage presence and his acting was superb. Viola Bishop, “Cissy”, played opposite Harry and looked very stunning besides taking her role in a pleasing manner. Donna Van Allen showed some of the finest acting ability of the entire cast. She took he part almost perfectly in a way which would have done a professional credit. Milton Pinkus as her husband, “Mr. Goodly”, was a tremendous hit thruout the entire play. His appearance, actions and talk combined to make him a shining star. William Yungstrom, the “Bishop”, was a second Gwynn Bement, which is enough testimony to his marked ability. Mildred Harrington as “Alvina” was a scream from every point of view. She made a capital old maid. Harry Kane as “Richard” and Dorothy Prechtl as “Marjorie” were the “engaged couple” and they furnished some stirring love scenes. Kane was especially good. He shows great promise as an actor. Helen Zimmermann was another scream as the Swedish servant girl, “Helma”. Her antics were simply ridiculous and brought forth howls of laughter from even those in the cast. Raymond Butler took the part of the policeman great. His make-up was enough to make a cat laugh and his little love scene with Helma was one of the funniest parts of the show. Irving Simon as the escaped lunatic, who thinks he is an Indian, did his part very realistically. Laura Lovejoy as the intellectual maiden and Clarence Avery as the keeper of the sanitorium had smaller parts but they showed the same splendid ability which characterized the whole play. “What Happened to Jones” will long be remembered in the history of E. F. A. Charles Putnam managed the play in a very business-like manner. Charles Ruddick had charge of the scenery, and Merle Smith the tickets. Friday evening, December 18th, the students of theGerman and French departments entertained a large audience with a varied program. Miss Katherine M. Palmer directed the French part while Misses Allen and Kellogg directed theGerman program. The French play was Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon”. The German play was Eigensinn” (stubborness). Students of the German department gave several dances and songs. Louise Herrick sang Du bist wie treue Liebe”. A double quartet composed of Martha Richford, Thelma Bishop, Estella Osborne, Rose Alpert, Howard Clute, Fenton Weaver, Leslie Benson and Victor Messing, sang Heiden- roslein”. Pupils in the French courses presented several dances also. Leslie Benson and Viola Bishop gave a delightful dance. The chorus gave a minuet and other novelties. Roe Reilly, as stage manager, gave valuable service in both plays. (Htje Jrpnrlj Prngram A synopsis of the play is as follows: M. Perrichon takes his wife and daughter, Henriette”, to Switzerland where they are followed by two suitors for the daughter’s hand, Armand and Daniel. Armand gains the favor of the father by saving his life. Daniel also works a ruse to win the favor of the parent, but is dicovered, and Armand is successful in the end. The parts were taken with spirit as follows: M. Perrichon, Burke O’Connor; Mme. Perrichon, Kathryn Hyde; Henriette, Netta Ball; Daniel Savary, Daniel Buckley; Armand Desroches, Thomas Bundy; Maids, Helen McCann and Marion Rice; Porters, Blake Bickford and Leo Horigan; Interpreters, Marjorie Shaffer and Gertrude Albert. The Chorus: Boys Messrs. Kelly, Sullivan, Judson, Thurston, Hoover, Ferguson, Daghistan, Kretchman; Girls Misses O’Connor, Hogan, Ronan, Noonan, Kelly, Biggs, Hughes, Vandervelde. (Hfjp (Smttan Program A brief account of the play is as follows: Two servants quarrel because Lisbeth refuses to say an expression for Heinrich. Another fellow, Alfred, overhears the quarrel and asks his wife, Emma, to say it. She refuses as does Katharina when asked to by Ausdorf. Finally Lisbeth says the expression unconsciously and Emma and Katherina do also, and all ends happily. The cast was as follows: Ausdorf, John Lehmann; Katherina, Rose Alpert; Emma, Marie Connelly; Alfred, Max Siegel; Lisbeth, Florence Nagle; Heinrich, Harold Copeland; Interpretor, Lillian McCabe. The chorus was as follows: Misses VanAlstyne, Graves, Lehmann, Kluge, Cowan, Field, Spencer; and Messrs. VanAlstyne, Soble, McKinney, Turner, Dunn, Nelson, Kahler. ---------- ♦ -------- Bittdrx Party The Vindex party, held at ’’Nellie” Welles’ home on March 11th, was a most enjoyable affair for all concerned. Nearly all of the board were there and all voted Nellie” and Mrs. Welles a hearty vote of thanks for the fine time shown them. Games were played and delicious refreshments were enjoyed. Some choice harmony was rendered by the musically inclined members of the staff. r HE NIGHT was cold and it rained, but joy reigned inside the Federa- tion Hall this 26th night of November the Senior Reception was being held. It was a night to be remembered by all who were there and enjoyed the evening. All the Terpsichorean artists of the Academy, Elmira and vicinity were in attendance and likewise reported that they had had a good time. No rude class rushes marred the evening. The Cherry and White banner hung serenely above the stage where it was heavily banked with evergreens and palms, and the decorations ran around the hall but were not of sufficient quantity to have the appearance of being overdone. Behind the palms the Wetsel-Leupelt orchestra presided till ten o’clock, after which the musicians from the Majestic took their places. None remembered any music better than that given by these masters. President Everts Howell with Vice-president Mabel Brown led the grand march. Twenty-four dances were played and for those who did not care to dance games were supplied. Our old friend, Jim Reid, presided at the punch bowl with his customary skill and vigor. There was not a sad heart in the party during the entire evening. Refreshments were enjoyed during the intermission. Among the things which made us rejoice the most was the fact that Miss Wixon was able to come down for a while. She had to leave early, however, but she showed signs of improvement and looked lots better. Here’s hoping that she will be able to come back to E. F. A. in the near future. The patronesses were Miss Wixon, Miss Hibbard, Miss Callahan, Miss Birchard and Mrs. Parker. The patrons were Mr. Parker, Mr. Nichols and Mr. Cady. The committee in charge was as follows: Willis Templar, chairman; and Misses Mildred Young, Ethel Morrow, Marjorie Shaffer, Norma Kilmer, Alma Noonan; and Messrs. Algernon Gorman, Allen Preston, and Leo Markthaler. rtrinr JHrntr The Senior Picnic is another event which was being planned only when this went to the printer. It is to be held at Roricks as usual on June 22nd, but will be later this year as the Senior Play was not given at the Glen. A big picnic supper is planned and should furnish all with enough eats. The entire class intend to attend the performance of musical comedy given at the Glen Theatre that week. The committee in charge of the picnic will consist of Carl Tanner, chairman; Stella Crispin, Helen Coleman, Clarence Huntley and John Lehmann. HE SENIOR BANQUET is to be held at the Hotel Rathbun, Commencement evening, June 24th. It is sure to be the crowning event of our most wonderful year in old E. F. A. It will be the last time our class will assemble and a cer- tain solemnity is sure to pervade the students, who will realize that they are henceforth to rise by their own efforts. Some members are sure to be called upon to give toasts, which will recall pleasant memories of our past life in school. President Howell will of course be toastmaster. As the banquet was only being planned as this went to press, further details were unobtainable, but suffice it to say that it was looked forward to with the greatest anticipation. The committee in charge will consist of Allan Preston, chairman; Dorothy Lovell, Helen McCann, Emma Havens, Thomas Bundy and John Turner. (Hlje ntinr Pmtprto Parly The Senior Party, held in the gymnasium on March 25th, was a splen- did success in every sense of the word. The poverty idea was something new and admirably served to break the usual stiffness of such gatherings. Every- body was masked until supper, when a most enjoyable meal was served. The masking served to turn the party into a partial masquerade, but not enough to spoil the original idea. After the eats” the evening was enjoyed by a variety of stunts. The girls and fellows were divided up into four groups and each presented a charade. This afforded lots of amusement for everybody. Then several of the girls and fellows presented the scene from the Birds’ Christmas Carol” where Mrs. Ruggles is drilling her children for the Christmas party. Emma Havens took the part of Mrs. Ruggles in a ve y motherly fashion. All joined in a snake dance at the conclusion of this, and then various members of the class entertained with songs and dances. A trio composed of Katherine Battin, Sybil Hauver and Netta Ball rendered some instru- mental harmony. Benny Hyman then gave a song followed by one of his characteristic dances which have made him famous. Dorothy Prechtl danced to the tune of Turkey in the Straw”. These were followed by some songs by Harry Impson, Merle Smith and Alan Gould. Whistle It” was the first and It was not like this in the olden days” was the second. In response to an encore Harry Impson recited Ain’t it funny what a differ- ence just a few hours make”. Everybody then enjoyed square dances and Virginia Reels, and the party broke up at ten o’clock. The party was original in all respects. Nothing was given which had ever been attempted before. The committee with Miss Hibbard in charge must be congratulated on the fine results of their efforts. Robert Wilbur as announcer was terribly funny. His costume was a scream. There were many other varieties of costumes and make-ups also which were good. The teachers were there in force and thoroly enjoyed themselves. All credit for its success goes to the following committee; Miss Hibbard, chairman; Misses Hazel Brooks, Grace Pittman, Mary Kelly; and Messrs. Ernest Hollenbeck, Floyd Moore and Robert Wilbur. 1.
