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.

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. ♦

DOROTHY T. LOVELL So light of foot, so light of spirit” She is quiet and calm in bearing and speech as can readily be seen from her slow precise walking. She is fond of a good time but studies nevertheless. Her pet diversion is dancing at which she is very proficient. In fact we predict that she will be a great dancing teacher some day. Entertainment, Banquet Committee ETHEL F. LOWE She was a burning and shining light” Ethel is a mild, quiet girl and devoted student. On account of her calm temperament and desire to help others she is a welcome member of our class. She is one of our best students and even surprises the teachers with her knowledge. She will no doubt be one of the honor students which she deserves to be. We have heard that she is a man-hater but are in some doubt as to its truth. Girl’s Vindex Board A. MARSHALL LOWMAN Imposing in looks and stature” Mush” is one of the class of 1914 who decided that 1915 was really a better class. We wish here to publicly express our appreciation of this honor conferred upon us and the self-sacrifice of Mush”. Mush” is exceed- ingly husky and few can stand against him on the grid- iron. Through injuries the team was unable to have his valuable services this year. Marshall intends to enter Union next fall and battle with the higher mathe- matics of an engineering course. Commencement Invitations HELEN McCANN Modest and simple and sweet” She is very demure and sweet appearing but her close friends say that she can “cut up” when she wants to. She is noted for her sixth period lessons and from being saved heroically from drowning. She is also quite a humorist and we predict that she will some day edit the humorist column in the Ladies’ Home Journal unless—well who knows? Banquet Committee of 115
