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

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

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. ♦
