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

'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.

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
