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. ♦

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

B@©Ik JOHN L. LEHMANN Happy as the day is long Corpulence and good humor usually go together and John is strong proof for its truthfulness. His red cheeks, happy smile and laugh make anyone feel good. Nothing can make him mad. He belongs to the Forum Debating Society and the Optimist Club. He has indeed some ability as an arguer but as an optimist he is in a class by himself. When he leaves this year he will leave a gap too big to be filled in more than one sense of the word. German Play, Picnic Committee GUSTAV LEUPELT The Flying Dutchman of E. F. A. Gus” is Mercury personified. He sure can run, being about the fastest dash man the Academy has ever had. He is also a shot putter of excellent ability. At the Rochester and Ithaca meets and the Interclass meet, Gus won many medals and much honor. He also made a fine captain of the team. He c n play the fiddle” with remarkable ability, and is a regular whirlwind in football. Captain Track Team, Orchestra, Football Team EVA M. LIVINGS She has a happy appearance” Here is another one of our talkative girls. But what would we do without Eva. People of her sort rescue us from despair at perilous moments. She is the life of any gathering and we have yet to see her in anything but a happy mood. She always has something to stop and talk about. Eva will be missed from our halls next year because of her agreeable disposition. LAURA M. LOVE JOY She hath knowledge both in play and real life” Yes, here’s Lovie”, the girl with the wonderful hair. Although Laura is very good natured on the subject, let us warn you not to apply to her for the hair tonic she uses because she herself assures us that she uses none whatever. We have it from excellent source that she is interested in the Vindex and although she is not on the board we know that she is well represen- ted by a member of the Editoral Staff.
