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.
