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

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

'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.
