“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

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.

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
