_____S? 1916 Ky-1_ •CANADESAGAN • Ifamunrii First of all, a little explanation will perhaps be desirable to our readers, with regard to the new name of this book. We of the year- book board all thought that the old name was a rather indefinite one for a book so important to E. F. A. So, with the sincere approval and interest of our principal, our patron saint, and our faculty advis- ers, we set about finding an appropriate name. It was not long before we found the name “Canadesaga” in the old 1868 directory of Elmira. This valley of the Chemung, it seems, was claimed particularly by the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois Confed- eration of Indian Tribes. Canadesaga was a Seneca chieftain of some note, taking part in all councils held here with Col. John Hendy, the earliest settler in this locality, and other settlers. He seems to have been a good friend of Col. Hendy’s, coming to visit him quite often. Hence we take a name of the long ago, with something of the glamour of the pioneer days of Elmira, in honor of our school and our city. It stands to us, even as our school does, for the true and stead- fast, the honorable and loyal. And now, patient reader, be assured that the class of nineteen hundred sixteen sends to you a hearty, cheery greeting of friendship, as to friends tried and true. We cannot conceive of ourselves as putting out a perfect book. All we ask of you is to remember that we did our best. Our great and sincere hope is that this book may recall even in part the dearly cherished memories of former school days, which we know everyone possesses. If it can do so, we shall rest content, and the book will have fulfilled its mission, which is simply to bring some pleasant moments of retrospection. ___ Sr1 1916 L rJ_ •• CANADESAGAN an HiHB Eubij A.

She seems to favor Buffalo and intends to enter Buffalo Normal School after taking a P. G. course in E. F. A. Well, Nina, remember your own school days and be kind to any pupil to whom you must impart knowledge. Senior Picnic Committee. EDMUND BOWER A child of nature.” This smiling youth hails from the farm. As a child of Nature, she has endowed him with a pair of long and lanky legs, which are admirably adapt- ed to climbing hills. Whether chores are light or heavy, you may be assured that he has a lesson or two every few weeks. We are sure he will make a hit with the inhabitants at Cornell Ag. Senior Banquet Committee. THOMAS DUGGAN. I dare do all that may become a man.” Thomas is a very studious young man. He is so studious, in fact, that he has no time for the young ladies, but only for his books. It is said that the only young lady friend he ever had jilted him, so this may be the cause. His hatred of the fair sex is very evident, at any rate. Forum. ROSE ALPERT. Skilled is she in the art of music.” Rose is a fair student and she gets her lessons without much effort, so far as we have observed. Although she is rather fond of talking, Rose’s de- sires lie in a musical direction. She is gifted with a good voice and is a good piano player. She in- tends to study music and hopes to become an artist in that vocation. Here’s hoping her dreams come true. Arbor Day Exercises, Lyceum ___S? 1916 LvJ_ CANADESAGAN HAZEL CAMPBELL. The words of wise men are heard in quiet.” That’s Hazel exactly. She isn’t much in the art called gab” but she doesn’t miss anything of importance. After all, who knows what she does on the sly? Her eyes have rather a roguish look and besides looks are deceiving, you know. She’s an awfully good specimen of the type called peach.” Everyone who knows her realizes this fact and are glad that they do know her. Senior Picnic Committee. IRENE C. ELLIOTT. A reincarnation of Cicero.” If you have ever heard this maid in a debate, we don’t think you will be apt to criticise the above statement, as she is a surprisingly good speaker. Irene is always telling funny stories and enjoys taking funny parts in plays. She expects to enter Elmira College after a year or two and prepare herself for her life work as a teacher or public speaker. Lyceum H. RANGER COLLSON A modern imitation of Mercury.” Crack goes the pistol! And away he goes hammering down the mile. Another crack! What’s that for? O, he wins! Even if he does run, he can be trusted with our class funds. At any rate, he wouldn’t have much to run with. His cute lit- tle pompadour tickles the girls, and they immedi- ately fall for this noble youth. Nevertheless we know he will make a good record on the course of Time. Captain of Track Class Treasurer Bore not his cheeks the apple’s ruddy glow ? ” Although we hate to make Harold vain, we must admit that he is quite a shark,” and he has the unheard of ambition to make his averages the highest ever known in JL F. A. His favorite pas- times are canoeing and dancing. O! we forgot to mention photography. What more can you ask, girls? Harold expects to go to Chicago to study Osteopathy and here’s hoping he won’t get lost in such a large city. Student Council, Senior Banquet Committee. HAROLD B. COPELAND. —«uilll ____553HZ55_____ •CANADESAGAN • KATHERINE BIGGS Neither care nor worry ne’er wrinkles her fair brow.” Katherine’s one ambition in life seems to be to have a good time, and as far as we can see, she appears to be realizing her ambition. She is very fond of talking in class and never worries over her lessons. However, Katherine digs in” and works just before exams, and comes out with flying colors. She has a very sweet and likable dispo- sition, which has done much to win her many friends. If you want to be sure whether or not a person is Katherine, just look at her hat—it will be tipped at an angle of about 90 degrees over the right eye. GORDON H. CURTIS How deep still waters run! Agey” is a very accomplished young chap, with very high ideals. He intends to enter Prince- ton in a year or two and will undoubtedly come out with colors flying. He is quite a reformer, lecturing quite broadly on the subject of Beauty Without Rouge ”, as applying to the opposite sex, of course. Of a certainty, he’ll deny this, but don’t listen to him. We know. Senior Banquet Committee. M. LORETTA HUGHES Her eyes flash Medea’s eloquence.” Her eyes are large and brown, Her hair is long and curly; She has a spirit you cannot down And a way that’s ever cheery. Her figure is slender and graceful, Her dancing is fine to see; And her face if ever joyful While gazing at a He.” EMERSON L. DIVEN He is a man of boundless knowledge.” It is beyond us entirely how Liddy ” can stoop to such common people as we students in E. F. A. He has traveled almost everywhere in the U. S. and on his list of acquaintances are numbered sev- eral foreign noblemen, and he even corresponds with a famous Russian statesman! He belongs to the elite of our country and we certainly ought to feel honored to have him in our midst. And if you want to know anything about Elmira College, (although it is a female institution) just ask Liddy and he can tell you. Editor of Vindex Canadesagan Board ___52HH52___ CANADESAGAN INEZ DOUGLASS “Laugh and the world laughs with you” This must be Inez’ motto, for she laughs all day long. She is as funny as Aristophanes and extends her funny remarks even to Vergil, where she studi- ously “soaked the limbs of Aneas’ men in brine.” Her favorite expression is “Gosh!” but she denies all knowledge of the word. She claims that her favorite pastime is housework, and so we imagine that her cheery nature brightens her home, even as it brightens the faces of her friends. HARRY L. KAHLER “Faithful to duty where’er it calls” Harry seems to be one of the few people in this world that enjoy working. He never told us he did but he never seems to grumble about it very much and that is more than can be said of us. Harry is a good dancer, but his favorite occupation seems to be the enjoyable one of courting a certain Big Flats girl who is in our midst. We can’t tell you, abso- lutely, who she is, for that might not be fair to either, but if you are in the least curious, just look around, and you cannot fail to find out who is who. Forum IRENE T. FIELD “Her faith is built on argument alone” Irene has lots of school spirit and when it comes to basket ball she is right in her element. Some people think she is a grind, but, although we admit that she studies harder than most of us, we still say she is always ready for a good time. She is a fine musician as well as a good cook, and intends to take Domestic Science at Elmira College. It is also known that she has quite a liking for a certain Post Graduate. Girls Basketball “A man after his own heart” “Jud” must not be thought of, just because he holds his head above our reach, as a haughty fellow, for if you know him, the least you can say is that he is a very agreeable fellow. He lent his talent to the Senior Play, so we know why it was a success. (Oh yes!) At any rate, since we couldn’t find any hint of scandal in his life, we had to say something. We wish you the best of luck, Jud. Senior Play, Forum, Student Council JUDSON HOOVER ____55HH52_____ •CANADESAGAN • BESSIE GRAVES Bess is liked by lots of girls, She’s liked by lots of boys; She simply stars in Basket Ball And raises stacks of noise.” How anyone can be vice-president of a class, play basket ball, entertain callers, and get the re- ports Bessie does, is way beyond our conception. Everyone likes her and she can always find time to help you out in lessons. Outside of school—well, very reluctantly, we decide not to tell on you, Bessie. Girl’s Basketball Vice-President Class WILLIAM MANGAN A quiet lad, yet mighty in his wrath.” Bill ” is a popular young fellow who plays football, and he has won many admirers among the fair sex; still, he doesn’t reciprocate the admi- ration. He is an ardent anti-feminist and will take any amount of trouble to avoid meeting one of those fussy, embarrassing creatures. He is active in all school activities, and is always observed be- cause of his conspicuous calmness. Bill is husky, whole-souled, and generous, and his host of friends will never forget him. Football LEON NELSON An ordinary person, yet Destiny holds for him we know not what.” We call him Deak” for short, not that this name fits him, for we know better, but someone gave it to him, and he still has it. When he isn’t playing football, basketball, or working at track, he is out with the girls. Look out girls, he is a regular heart-breaker! Strange to say he is learn- ing to be a mail-man. Keep it up, Deak, success awaits you. Basketball Football Track Team Class Play LILLIAN McCABE She plays basketball! ” And plays it well, too. Lillian captained the girl’s basketball team through the season just past. And an unusually successful one it was, too,and by her own efforts many apparent defeats were turned into victory. One would not believe it, but Lillian is studious. She is noted for her laugh, which can- not be equaled. Her motto is, If you cannot be good, be careful,” and we believe she lives up to it. Girl’s Basketball E. F. A. Entertainment Lyceum ____55HH53_____ • CANADESAGAN KARL HAVENS A long and lanky, yet graceful boy.” Karl is one of those genial fellows who are slow to anger but—well you know the rest. He is liked exceedingly well by all who know him, which testifies to the fact that he IS genial. About the girls, now—well, it is impossible to tell whether he loves them individually or collectively. However that may be, he certainly is fond of them. He likes to dance occasionally, but for the most part, he is content to get his recreation by driving a lit- tle Ford around town. His studies—we almost forgot ourselves. You see, we weren't to mention anything about them. E. F. A. Entertainment Senior Reception Committee LOUISE BARNHART Her cheeks are like the roses, Her eyes like two twin stars.” Louise is one of the sweetest girls in our class, and one of the most faithful members of this Cana- desagan Board. (There has been some comment as to why she was so faithful, but we will leave that to be discussed by others.) However, her work herein is a great credit to her. Louise ex- pects to teach in the fall, and we all hope that she will be satisfied with her chosen profession. CANADESAGAN BOARD E. F. A. ENTERTAINMENT Secretary Student Council MILDRED DINGLER I just can’t make my eyes behave! ” O! those eyes! What would one not do for a smile from Mildred ? She is always looking happy and was never known to frown. (No?) It has been rumored around that Mildred believes in votes for women, but we have no proof of this. They say that she is going to be an old maid, but we know better. The Class of T6 will long remember you, Mildred. CANADESAGAN BOARD Lyceum Senior Reception Committee paul mckinney An all-around man is ‘Mac.’” Yes, this is Mac,” who always has a good word for everyone. And did you ever see anyone get sore” at Mac” ? O, mercy no! It would be useless to try. Just to look at him you would know he is an athletic star, and consequently he is a favorite with the fair sex. Football and basket- ball are the happy prologues to the swelling acts, and many are the hearts and games he has won by his playing, not only at home but out of town as well. And Mac has many friends among the fellows who recognize his sterling qualities. Basketball Football Canadesagan Board Senior Picnic Committee ____52HH52_____ •CANADESAGAN• JOSEPHINE FLYNN She has two eyes so soft and blue; Take care!” Jo” also knows how to use her eyes. We take it for granted no one needs an introduction to this coy lass. Just look by the wall in the space between the two doors of Miss Kellogg’s room, before school or after and there behold! you see her intensely talking to her faithful swain, also Joe. This case has lasted long and promises to continue for even a longer time. Especially since she in- tends to go to Buffalo to school, and, strange to say, he is thinking of it, too. JOE BRICKWEDDE I am here, but few know it.” Joe is a quiet fellow with a great deal of energy and a big heart—leastwise, that’s what the ladies say. He comes to school bright and early but not to study. There’s another reason, but we do not need to mention it. He surprised everyone with his baseball ability, and is a valuable asset to our nine. May he make as many friends in the future as he has in the past. Baseball FLORENCE M. WARNER What is more rare than a good disposition ? ” Yes! what is better than to be always good natured and to have a pleasant smile for everyone? Many friends are gained through the medium of a smile, and we wonder what the secret of such a good disposition is? We often hear Florence hum- ming Cornell songs and most of us are surprised that she knows so many. But listen! If we re- member rightly, she has a Cornell song book in her possession, but the question is Who gave her the book ? ” And she’s a wizard at dancing! She is well skilled in the Terpsichorean art and no dance is complete without her presence. E. F. A. Entertainment LAWRENCE O’CONNOR He surely cannot now thirst for another love.” Yep—he’s a great boy with the ladies. He loves ’em all and they love him. To be sure, in our Annual Entertainment he seemed a little uncertain what to do in the fussing scene, but surely this can- not be from lack of experience, — that is, if we are to believe what we hear. But he was just grand ” as the hero in the play, after all. (We wonder did a girl write this?) In school he goes along with- out much trouble, and always gives you a cheerful grin. And dance? He surely can make his feet go, if he is a long, lanky specimen. Heard most any time in a feminine voice : Don’t you adore to dance with Lawrence O’Connor ? He’s a wonder! ” So say we all. E. F. A. Entertainment Senior Party Committee _____5511H52____ • CANADESAGAN • DONALD VAN HORN As fast as they make them.” Do not misinterpret this, gentle reader, for Don ” is as steady and conservative a fellow as is to be found. We mean that Don is an exception on the track, rivalled only by Mercury. Also, he has a large, soft spot in his heart for occupation by the fair sex in general, although his affections are very much concentrated in one direction. Do not fear, Don; we won’t tell. Manager Track Team Pres. Student Council Arbor Day Exercises CAMILLA E. BRYAN A genius must be born and never can be taught.” Behold! the genius enters and a bashful maiden is she. Her middle name ought to be Tickle” because she uses it to such advantage. (You can’t guess that one!) One of the most pressing things of her existence is trying to decide which one is more attractive:—The Annapolis Wrestler” or Cornell’s Fairy Fey.” So far this question has balked even her agile mind, but here’s hoping that she may settle it satisfactorily some day. Her future ambition lies in the direction of Wellesley College, but we are still unable to realize that we are going to lose her. CANADESAGAN BOARD JOHN ALDEN VAN CAMPEN The more you ’ave know o’ the others, the less you will settle to one.” Here he is, fair ladies and gracious gentlemen, a distinguished member of the business staff of this book, who has worked hard and long to make it a success. Yes, he is quite good-looking—some say his picture doesn’t do him justice, so judge for yourselves. He never has spasms over getting his lessons but he most always passes, so why worry ? Alden, or Van”, (he has numerous nick-names) is a very enthusiastic dancer. He always takes in every dance going and we’ll have to hand it to him that he’s some dancer. He’s a fickle youth, though, —never gets smitten by one girl for very long. Our hero expects to enter Harvard—a profound wish of success comes from our very hearts. Senior Reception Committee CANADESAGAN BOARD FLORENCE WINNER And while you smile another smiles, And life’s worth while because you smile.” Non ” not only smiles (or grins) but she gig- gles, tee-hees, or anything else to express mirth. You know her anywhere by her absurd laugh. She is very accommodating though, as an appreciative audience, and is most encouraging to the aspiring wits. But really she does other things—O yes! She’s a piano player of some note, Sunday-school teacher, movie fiend, brilliant student, tennis play- er, skater, etc. She isn’t without experience as to crushes, and at present is pining away (?) for— —well, we’re afraid to say, but he’s in college, not Cornell. Next year she is to try her luck at Wellesley. May her good-nature continue. Vindex Board. Senior Party Committee Student Council ____52HE53_____ - CANADESAGAN • MARY ELIZABETH VAN CAMPEN —we had a good talk.” Elizabeth, or Lizzie, as she is generally known, always is on hand with the latest news pertaining either to the war, desperate crushes, or other cur- rent events. Also she can laugh at a joke without seeing (literally) the point of it. Watch her eyes sometime when she laughs—or rather, try to find them as they are invisible. She never is greatly worried about studying and seems to get away with it quite well. Her great accomplishment is reading missives upside down. After graduation she goes to a finishing school near Philiadelphia. May she be finished ” in a satisfactory manner. HAZEL R. FEY Nature designed us to be of good cheer.” Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Who is the little fairy we hear? Why Hazel of course! What's the news? Well, just listen to this--can you beat that?” Don't worry, we know Hazel too well to think that she will get angry at anything we say. Hazel sings in a choir and we have hopes that some day she will take her place among the noted sing- ers. She is thinking of becoming a nurse and we agree with her that nursing is a fine profession. It is our firm belief, also, that her cheery disposition alone will cure many a patient. DOROTHY D. LEAVITT Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought But genius must be born and never can be taught.” Dort sure is a genius—especially in Math. My word! she has taken everything in that line which this old school can offer and has been most success- ful, too. During her short time here she has made many friends. (You see, she has only been with us this last year.) But alas! the numerous(?) swains of Elmira fail to attract her in any way. She has remained true to her suitor from home.” She is planning to go to Elmira College next fall and con- tinue her remarkable standings. Our best wishes go with her. Senior Banquet Committee CLAYTON S. SHOEMAKER Wisdom unsurpassed.” Tate” is a very handsome, studious young man, with a great knack for absorbing knowledge. His marks will prove what a good student he is. He also is a social lion ”, doing to the best of his ability whatever he undertakes. Success will surely be his when he enters Lafayette next fall. Vindex Board Class Play Senior Party Committee ____Sc! 1916 LvJ_ CANADESAGAN EUGENE CROWLEY Of all the times we had finding out what to write about persons, this one is the worst. We know absolutely nothing about this young man, nor can we find anyone who does. However, he is very quiet, so perhaps that is the reason we know as little as we do. We'll bet he always has his his lessons, anyway. Why ? Well, because he’s so quiet he must be studying all the time. We are ever so sorry he is so quiet, because this is not as good a write-up as we would otherwise have given him. We wish him luck anyway. LUCY V. LA WES An easy-going and easy-mannered girl.” Such an easy-going girl! She doesn’t seem to study very much and yet she always has her les- sons. She really takes great pleasure in giggling, and when we hear her laugh, we do the same, for her laugh is very contagious. She is uncertain as to what she will do in the future, but we hope she will prosper in whatever she undertakes. ELEANOR RYAN Where did you get those eyes so blue ? Out of the sky as you came through ? ” Eleanor has a quiet but winsome way. Her golden hair, fair complexion, and blue eyes make her most charming to the eye and her admirers are many. Some one said about this lass: Bashful? She’s so bashful that if anyone looked at her she’d drop through the floor.” Now of course this can’t be taken too literally but it shows something of our heroine’s nature. Her skill in writing verse is well known and great success in this line is proph- esied for her. MARY HOLLERAN Laugh and the world laughs with you.” This seems to be Mary’s motto. Now come right down to it, did you ever see her when her countenance was not brightened by a broad grin ? She sees the funny side of everything and this cer- tainly helps along in school when the teachers get so peevish at her for whispering. She gets picked on quite a bit but never for not knowing her lesson —at least, hardly ever. She generally is very con- scientious when it comes to work and gets fine results. May she continue to take everything in life with a grin. ____SP 1916 LvJ_ • CANADESAGAN • STELLA E. KLUGE A pleasant Fraulein with a pleasant smile.” Did you ever see Stella without a broad grin on her face? Surely she wouldn’t look natural without it. She is one of the best natured crea- tures going and you can’t have the blues long if you are around her. We have heard that she is a man- hater, and that she has been known to increase her speed of walking in order not to have the company of a male, but surely this can only be her bashful- ness and nothing else. She has an ardent desire to become a school teacher and we sincerely hope her wish may be granted. ETHEL J. MURRAY Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Although Ethel is a constant giggler, she is a good student and a faithful friend. Her favorite expression is, I thought I’d die! ” but we are glad to say that we still have her in our midst. Ethel’s plans for next year are still in process of formation, but we are sure that her faithfulness and perse- verance will be duly rewarded. CELIA SIMON Large streams from little fountains flow, Tall Oaks from little acorns grow.” Too true! Though Celia is not what you might call gigantic, she has plenty of that gray mat- ter to make up the deficiency of other things. Just to hear her rattle off German makes the rest of us feel like the Algebraic equivalent of zero. From all accounts she displays the same brilliancy in other classes. Her one weakness is whispering, and this is not unknown to her instructors, who have no scruples in telling her about it. We hear that she is expecting to take a secretary’s course. We hope her success in this undertaking will be as marked as it has been here. LAZARRE CHERNOFF ” A promising young man.” This energetic youth, although he has not lived long in this country, has made a great success with his lessons. His briefs are works of art. He must be able to do a lot of hard work, for they say he is taking six subjects. We have heard that he is good at debating in the Forum, too. And a little bird told us that he sometimes writes stories. We hope that some day he will be a great author. Forum ____523inL53_____ •• CANADESAGAN - ALLEN REED A work well begun is half ended.” Allen has certainly begun well. He is one of the finest, squarest, best-liked fellows in the whole school. No need to say that he is a shark. Every- body knows it. He expects to leave this little burg as soon as school is over and many a person will miss his droll wit and the hearty good-will he holds toward his fellow creatures. He is very popular with the fair sex and they all say he is a tease. Early morning or late afternoon will find him at one of our well-known stores, training for his fu- ture life. Whatever he undertakes, he is sure to come out on top. CANADESAGAN BOARD MARGARET WATTS She hath in her the makings of a lady.” Tall, fair, slim and smiling, Margaret walks majestically down our halls, a queen among the girls and the cynosure of all eyes, for she towers head and shoulders above our girls in general. It would hardly be fair to call Margaret a good stu- dent for she never cares how low her marks are as long as she gets through. She is very fond of French, and dancing, boys, dancing! Because of her sweet nature and pretty smile, Margaret has won many friends and we are proud to number her among us. E. F. A. Entertainment HARRIETTE E. KNIFFIN A girl of wondrous ability.” Hats off, studes, for here is a person of great talent. Everything she undertakes is a success, from studying to writing love letters. One of the important problems which keeps her at bay is whether she will become a country school teacher or enter Elmira College. We certainly think that the country life would be dull compared with col- lege life, but there is much to be said on both sides. At any rate, be careful what you decide, Harriette, for Elmira College would certainly hate to lose such a good student as you. CANADESAGAN BOARD E. F. A. ENTERTAINMENT Student Council Senior Banquet Committee ANNA E. KRAFT May her doings ever prosper.” We are almost certain that Anna will not con- tinue in a state of single blessedness very long. First, because she is uncertain as to what she will do in the future, and second, because she is a good cook. If her friends wish any general information, they always go to Anna, who seems to have an unlimited fund of knowledge. Her favorite ques- tion is, Who, what, when, where and why?” We are sorry we could not find any more about Anna, for we would like very much to have made this write-up longer. Senior Banquet Committee • • ____52HH52__ CANADESAGAN LILLIAN GRAHAM We have not skill enough your worth to sing It certainly would be very difficult to tabulate Lillian’s lovely characteristics, so we will not attempt it and let it suffice to say that she is doubt- less one of the most popular girls of our class. Lil- lian always seems good natured and happy and we know that fun is near when her brown eyes com- mence to sparkle and dance. Lillian says she doesn’t know what she will do in the future, but we hope that, when the time comes, she will decide to make a certain member of last year’s class happy. CANADESAGAN BOARD CLASS SECRETARY. ROBERT E. LIPCOT Distance lends enchantment to the view.”(?) Yes, we are sorry to say that Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” and that Bob seems to have little use for the girls here in Elmira. At any rate, Bob is a very good(?) student and will surely be allotted his niche in the Hall of Fame” when the time comes, but we hope it will be a long time coming. A little credit is due him for his faithful and conscientious work as the editor of this book. We wonder after his task is done would he be will- ing to do the same thing again. (Quoth the raven, Nevermore! Ed.) Editor of Canadesagan ESTHER W. COWAN A maid in whose eyes shines pleasure.” Esther is a good student and a pleasant girl with many friends. She is so enthusiastic that it is a great delight to please her. Her crushes are numberless, but she says she admires brown eyes and brown hair particularly. Esther has quite a bit of musical ability and we expect that the walls of a certain church will resound with her Sunday- night solos long before she finishes her course at Elmira College. Senior Reception Committee STEWART N. HYDE A gentleman and a scholar.” Hats off! Our honored President! Just think of all the time he’s spent Directing class affairs. And yet He finds time for the girls, you bet. A scholar with fame of great renown, Drives a tin Ford around the town. And up above Rorick’s Stew” will go, But we dare not tell on his girl—No! He’s a gentleman true in any crowd, A President of whom we’re proud. _____553ZH ••• CANADESAGAN GUY S. SHOEMAKER ’'He loves the ladies, he loves the ladies, He loves to be among the girls.” Guy is a very impressive youth and is very well liked by all who know him. He has one great weakness, and that is, looking around when he passes Miss Kellogg’s door. There is also a great attraction across the river for Guy, but none of us can blame him. Senior Reception Committee Vindex Board Bus. Man. Canadesagan Student Council MARIE CONNELLY ” Where did you get that girl ? Oh, you lucky devil! ” So exclaim many youths in referring to our Marie. She’s a great favorite with the boys and she is also fond of them. She leads a hard life— has to go to school afternoons only. If you happen to hear: ’’Going to the dance? Yes, I am,” you can bet your last shoe-button that it’s Marie talk- ing. Her one worry is her hair—or rather, her seeming lack of it. But even that doesn’t disturb her greatly. Here’s hoping she’ll always be as free from care and worry. Class Play Senior Picnic Committee FREDERICK W. PARSONS, Jr. ’’ Quality but not quantity.” ’’Freddy” is an ambitious fellow and is doing fine work in his studies. This book could not have been such a success had not Fred’s efforts been put into it. We expect to hear more of his abilities after he enters Michigan next fall. Canadesagan Board Senior Picnic Committee RUTH FRASER ”No rivers winding thru the vales below So sweetly warble nor so sweetly flow.” Giggle! little one, for we know it is fun to do so. This is Ruth’s greatest characteristic. She also lectures on how much she longs for the time when she can settle down with—O! it almost slipped out. Did you ever hear Ruth play dance music? She is a wonder at it, and certainly charms everyone who hears, especially one who has been enraptured by it for many years. Class Play. 5? ___523HZ55______ •CANADESAGAN• GERTRUDE HONIG True as steel, sincere and independent.” Yes, here’s Gertrude. The first time we ever particularly noticed her was about three months ago in Personius’ studio. What was attracting attention? Well, she was having an awful time over her proofs. They didn’t suit—nope! must have ’em taken over again although she was told reassuringly that one was good. Now there must be some especial reason but there’s no proof. We’ve tried awfully hard to rake up a dark chapter in her life so that we could print it, but the thing can’t be did. So we’ll end with a hope that her future may be as satisfactory as her past. JENNIE SEAFUSE Some to the church repair, Not for the doctrine, but the music there.” We hope Jennie will forgive us for this quota- tion, but really we can’t blame her for wanting to hear such a fine bass voice. Jennie always has a sense of humor—if you don’t believe us, just drop around when she is relating one of her numerous jokes. She is also a very clever girl in all her studies. Next year she intends going to Normal and we prophesy a teacher of great ability. Senior Party Committee Senior Banquet Committee MARIE SMITH Silence is golden.” This is most apropos for Marie, at least the silence part. The writer has had the privilege of sitting kitty-corner” from her since September, and only came to know her last March. Never does a teacher’s voice yelp at her, Please stop whispering!” But Heavings!—can it be that she keeps up this silence throughout the day? Nay, gentle reader, for we have it that one of Meeker’s most promising young pupils has been captivated by this maiden’s charms. Now what is her secret mode of operating? She is a success, all right, as you will have to admit. JERRY F. RHODES Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” The above motto seems to be a good one for Jerry as we see him go back and forth each day, seemingly without a care or worry. It has reached our ears that Jerry is extremely popular with the girls at home and in Corning. We know that those in Elmira who know him like him very much. Jerry’s plans for his future are still in the frying pan but pretty soon they will jump out into the fire. He might become a missionary, an actor—who knows? How are we going to tell, anyway? Class Play Forum 1916 LyJ CANADESAGAN IDA MARKS A wee little sunbeam.” Ida is the smallest and youngest member of our class, but she is also one of the very smartest, in more ways than one. We never see her cram- ming, and yet she is close to the top in all her classes. She is always bright and cheerful, and many a friend has she won by her pleasant words and sunshiny smile. We predict a brilliant future for Ida, if she retains her present capacity for learning. I. EASTER HOWE As musical and sweet as one shall ever see.” We have been informed that we should not write on certain things, but temptation sometimes wins, so please excuse us if we allude to them. We often wonder when we see Easter lost in dreams, what her thoughts are ? Surely we hope they are not for the opposite sex—but if we stop to think, we realize that her thoughts are in the land of har- mony. Easter is a skillful player, and we know that she will make a musician of note. Next year she is going to the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, where we are sure success will be hers. Senior Banquet Committee. M. BEATRICE ESPEY A handsome, bonnie wee thing.” ’Tis currently reported that Beatrice is very well liked in Sayre, and it is not to be wondered at, as she has one of the sweetest dispositions we know of. She is fond of music and of tripping the light fantastic”. Her smile is sweet and is so contagious that we are sure she will quickly win her individual place among the girls of Elmira College. Senior Banquet Committee Norman is going to become a wielder of knives and bitter doses. We know that he is too brave to hesitate at any operation however serious, for he had courage enough to remain in Miss Manley’s Virgil class, the only boy among twenty girls! Im- agine the courage(?) required! Norman, much to our surprise, has developed into quite a flirt and we wonder if the above incident hadn’t something to do with it. Well, all joking aside, Norman, please accept our best wishes for your future. Forum NORMAN TOBIAS Some men like books, some cooks, but me for knives and bottles of dope.” _____5HHE52____ - CANADESAGAN• JEANETTE DEYO He that hath knowledge spareth his words.” This applies to shes” as well and in particular to Jeanette. Of course you know her especially if you have ever been in any of her classes. The way she spouts forth inspires hopelessness in the hearts of those belonging to the bone-headed mul- titude. It must be she ’tends to business—we know she does in school, for never a minute does she waste in idle words or fruitless giggling. Her voice is low and melodious and if not spell-bound by one of her recitations, we might not know when she’s talking. We hope she may always accom- plish as much with the same lack of fuss. Senior Banquet Committee. MARY M. REED Such a prim little miss.” Mary is certainly about the primmest, cutest girl in our class. She is quite a stude,” but a fa- vorite with all who know her. Occasionally, much to our surprise, she is possessed with sudden sallies of wit, accompanied by uncontrollable mirth. We are sorry to hear that she leaves Elmira directly after graduation, but we certainly wish her all kinds of luck in anything she may undertake. Senior Party Committee SARAH RECORD Auburn hair and a clever tongue are some- times hard to reckon with.” Sarah has a smile that never wears off. Per- haps this is the secret of her great attraction for the boys. Who knows? She is manager of the girl’s basketball team and a star forward. Rumors have crept around of the nice parties she holds in honor of the teams after the game is over. Can we play on your team, Sarah? Girl’s Basketball E. F. A. Entertainment Senior Picnic Committee Vindex Board ALFRED MCCARTHY For every inch that is not fool is rogue.” Al” is one of the few good looking students in our class and this makes him very popular with the fair sex. The success of the business end of the class play is due to him and we are fortunate in having such an efficient business manager. He is also a brilliant commercial student and it is ru- mored that he is going into the coal business. This must be why he joined the Forum, so he could talk Coal, coal, coal.” Forum Bus. Manager Class Play ____52J9JE55_____ •• CANADESAGAN - ERNEST STEVENSON Wah Hoo! yourself, you little speed merchant.” Another one who for a long time cared noth- ing for the girls, but Ernie is slowly but steadily being won over. There are many things in which he shines, but bookkeeping is his specialty. There is nothing in that subject that he does not know. He is one of our best trackmen, and his work at Rochester proved him to be a veritable little speed merchant. Ernie thought seriously, for a time at least, of going to New York to business college, and we sincerely hope that he gets there. Track Team ELIZABETH WALTERS ’’She was slow but sure.” Here we have the quiet maiden who illustrates the above quotation very nicely. We have never seen Elizabeth hurry or look worried, but she al- ways gets there. The same way in her studies— although not markedly brilliant, she always gets along and lands on top. She has had quite a hard time with her health which has kept her further back than she would have been otherwise. The male sex seem to have had no interest for her but it looks suspicious. She has been a fine classmate and we predict she’ll always be an agreeable com- panion. HARRIET H. FLAACKE ” She goes her way without a care.” We are glad to have Harriet in our class and are very sorry to learn that she is to return to New York city soon after graduation. We hope she will enjoy the beach there as much as she enjoyed a certain ’’Beach” here. Her favorite phrase is ”1 know it,” and she certainly is always well informed about the latest show in town. With her many good traits of character she will win many friends during her Normal School days and in her future life. KATHERINE MILLER ’’Fair of form and face and good to look upon.” ’’Where’s there a mirror? Well, lead me to it.” Whenever and wherever you hear that, you will know that Katherine is ”in der Nahe.” She is always neat and very styish looking. Her populari- ty scarcely knows boundaries. Katherine sees the sunny side of everything and is as happy-go-lucky as any one we know. She stars as a talker and one can’t be lonesome when she is around. ____S?I9I6K?______ •CANADESAGAN••• MARIETTA L. HANFORD A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” A bright and merry maid is Marietta, who possesses a great deal of musical talent. At pres- ent she is planning to go to Ithaca next fall and en- ter into a deeper study of music. A close friend of Marietta’s tells us that she has a great liking for Fords”, but strange to say, her Ford writes long, interesting letters. RITA RHODES Her eyes were like bits of the sky.” Rita is one of our fair haired lasdes, with large, deep blue eyes. We know of at least one heart that is affected by a glance from those eyes, per- haps fatally. She is not a grind but she deserves credit for her efforts as a student. She is an excel- lent piano player and expects to attend the Ithaca Conservatory of Music next fall, where, her friends say, she cannot fail to make good. LILLIAN CROUNSE A quiet girl, and yet a happy one.” Take a look at this cheerful person, for she is happy in the possession of two things which are rar ely found combined in one person, namely, brains and common sense. She never seems to get dis- couraged nor angry. Really those words have no place in her vocabulary, for her good humor spreads until no one in her vicinity can be anything but happy. Her greatest ambition is to become a coun- try school teacher, but you can’t fool us, Lillian, for we know you must have an especially good reason for that ambition. FRITZ BIRKHOLTZ A fool there was.” Fritz is certainly a nut;” and an original one, at that. He is conspicuous by his foolishness at times, and yet at other times he is so quiet that you don’t know he is around. Miss Carr surely found in him the ideal home-room boy, nicht wahr? Ger- man and Chemistry are his strong points and girls his weak one. He sure loves the girls. ___553HZ52__ CANADESAGAN LESLIE BENSON O, what a singer—and to see him hit the line!” Les” needs no introduction in our circles. We all know him as a singer, football player, and last, but not least, an admirer of most of our fair sex. If we do not hear his musical voice awaken- ing the echoes in the halls, we know that his name appears on the absent list. When not plagueing Miss Carr or some other teacher, he is leading Mr. Wilson a merry chase along the upper corridors. Les is really a fair imitation of an actor, too, and we expect him to take Caruso’s place some day. Captain Football ’15 Senior Class Play Senior Reception Committee Student Council CLARA GERSCHEFSKI Better late than never.” Clara has a very bad habit of being late to school and thus her books are often very conven- iently locked in the locker room. Maybe she’s not wise, but it must be a help. She is exceptionally fond of looking at a book without getting any ben- efit out of doing so, but a little studying just before exams—and she is all right. Clara is a very quiet young lady but still waters run deep and you never can tell what the depths may hold. JENNIE KAUSH True happiness resides in things not seen.” Here’s Jennie and a happy person she is. Who said shark ? That’s true, too; she is one of the few persons who put it over Father Time in getting through in three years. We certainly have to give her credit for it and wonder at her brain. Did you ever hear her play the violin? She is without doubt an excellent musician. Her greatest failing is playing cards but cheer up, Jennie, we know you will overcome it AMY VIELE Ha! Here before us we find A girl who rejoices to grind. An example distinct Of a species extinct, We wish we had more of her kind. ____52HH52_____ CANADESAGAN • THURZA H. TAYNTON So clever, so fair, so full of cheer.” If you have never eaten of Thurza’s fudge you cannot realize what you have missed as it is always delicious. Thurza enjoys dancing, can play the piano, and also is one of those excellent students whose names appear monthly on the honor list. Her favorite color is Green.” She considers the medical profession the best and likes most of all the name of R---. We haven’t the heart to give you entirely away, Thurza. Senior Banquet Committee GRACE W. SORNBERGER And here is Grace, fun loving Grace Who always carries a happy face.” Here is another of the Southport girls, that seems to be so full of fun. Grace goes to Clifton Springs this fall to take up nursing and we are only sorry that she will not be able to take care of us when we have nervous prostration from writing such things as this. Hush! before closing we are going to tell you something. Grace does all her shopping at Iszard’s—we dare not tell you why, but look in the office some day and you will see. HELEN R. ELSTON Her value is much more than I can tell.” Attention! for underneath this massive dome lie the brains of a young genius. Her brilliant recitations have certainly made her name shine among the sharks” of our class. Never was there a girl so fond, faithful and forgiving, always willing to help others, encourage them and cheer them along the way. We are more than proud to have Helen in our class and wish there were more of her type in the world. She is a lover of good times and is fond of all sports. RAYMOND LEYDEN A history book is written in his head.” About the only thing we know about Raymond is that he is a genuine history shark.” What he doesn’t know about his lessons in this subject when he comes to class—every day, mind you—is decid- edly not worth knowing. We firmly believe that he could revise the history text-book with ease. (How good it would be we don’t know.) He is a quiet lad, seeming not to have any use for the girls, but you never can tell about these quiet chaps. They are usually regular devils in their own home towns.” ____1916 ‘ y-J__ CANADESAGAN - HAROLD REID -Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ‘This is a man’.’ At last! We have reached this person of many fine qualities. He looks like a ladies’ man, but nothing doing girls, for he says he has no use for them. However, his friends have grave doubts concerning this. Of late he has been laboring hard, and surprised for once the faculty as well as his family with honors. Although he once thought of becoming a minister, he has given that up and thinks that when the next school year rolls around that he had better pack up and be off for the big town of Alfred. CANADESAGAN BOARD SENIOR PICNIC COMMITTEE Senior Reception Committee GLADYS G. LEWIS And a merry maid was she.” Here is dear, beloved Lewie.” She surely is a merry maid, who wins us all by her jokes, smiles and foolishness. She always hides her cares be- neath a cheery exterior and if we are sad it is to Lewie we betake ourselves for cheer. Gladys is very popular with the boys as well as the girls, and it is said that she uses a great many postage stamps. She possesses a great deal of originality, as her work in this book testifies. She is uncertain as to what course she will pursue in the near fu- ture, but we hope she will enter college. CANADESAGAN BOARD LOUISE HENRY Art reaching for the moon, Louise?” Shrimp? Who mentioned it? Louise’s height measures six feet. Long and lean she is in appear- ance, lean and long as to characteristics, in that she is lean on making enemies and long on brains, con- versation, gum chewing and friends. Louise is stunning looking and is looked up to for more rea- sons than one. We hear that she is much interest- ed in a big freight house in Elmira. Of course, we can’t imagine why, but we wish her success. Lyceum E. F. A. Entertainment IDA FRIENDBURG One of the best there is.” Those who don’t know Ida say she’s quiet, but a good authority says she’s very different outside of school. She is one of those lucky mortals termed good-natured,” and is always ready to help the more unfortunate of her classmates. We con- sider ourselves very fortunate to have her among us. There must be some powerful attraction in school for her, as she never stays out. She aspires to be a kindergarten teacher and our best wishes go with her. ____523HE52__ CANADESAGAN RACHEL A. PEASE Do unto others as you would be done by.” Rachel is a quiet girl whose true worth few of us realize. She is always lending a helping hand and will do anything in her power for any one. She expects to teach next year and we know that any child that is under her guidance cannot help admiring and respecting her. Here’s to her future welfare. HELEN L. JACKSON A merry heart goes all the way.” Alas! Helen, you have succeeded in getting your picture in this book, We know it has been a hard trial for you but luck always did shine in your direction. Of late the telephone has been a bugbear to Helen’s neighbors, and we really wish we could solve the problem of the everlasting phone calls; (maybe Cupid could do it!) Her favorite pastime is bluffing her teachers, but anyway we have to give her credit for being able to do it. One thing she will not do and that is to skip;” (but take it from us, don’t let the word slip out in home- room, for Helen’s likely to be absent.) MABEL I. NEWELL Another person whose good deeds shine as far as the proverbial candle.” Mab” is another sample of the girls from Southport. Besides being brilliant in Math, and Drawing, she is a shark in Physics(?) Anyway, Mab is full of fun and always wears a broad smile. Perhaps this all accounts for her success in the dentist’s office. It is sure to bring her success in teaching her Primary for that is to be Mab’s vocation. DORR MARTIN The multitude is always in the wrong.” Dorr came to us from the whereabouts of Ad- dison and we are very glad and fortunate that we have him among us. His one failing is in always seeing things in a different light from everyone else. He is a natural favorite with the opposite sex, and we have our doubts as to his professed invulnerability in that direction. Here’s wishing you heaps of luck, Dorr. Senior Party Committee Baseball L-VJ 1916 Hy-1 • CANADESAGAN •• WALTER SMITH Hello! Here is Smith whom we know, Because he’s a capital fellow. His disposition’s just grand, And he works to beat the band; He’s a mighty good stude, yet he's always a joy; And so, all in all, he’s a peach of a boy. MARY MACK It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong; but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends.” Everyone who knows Mary likes her; in fact’ likes her a great deal. How could anyone help it ? She’s always the same to everyone, which is being most accommodating and helpful. It’s a joy to hear her in the classroom also—she seems to be so sure of what she is saying. We’ll have to admit, however, that she doesn’t always exactly know but puts up such a good bluff that it’s nearly the same. She is one dandy and we all appreciate her. HAROLD HUNT Behold! a man named Hunt, Who somehow, by crook or by stunt, Has managed to pass And to stick with the class, So his picture comes here—the runt. EDNA I. SEELEY Her music oft hath such a charm To make bad good, and good provoke to harm.” Arouse ye all, and look at this musician! We surely think that Orpheus guides her fingers over the piano keys, as the music sounds forth as from Schubert himself. Even as her music, so do her giggles speak for themselves. She surely wouldn’t be the same without them. At times Edna has an idea that she is a reincarnation of Hercules, and once tried to prove it by trying to lift 400 pounds, but alas! she didn’t. Next year Edna is going to Elmira College and without doubt her future will be successful. iiiini • • • CANADESAGAN - LOIS A. DANN 'Tis the mind that makes the body rich.” Lois is surely one of the brightest girls in our class. She always has high standings and we hope she will be one of the honor students The girl’s debating club claims her as one of its most brilliant members and it will be a sad mistake if she does not become a lawyer. She is rather undecided about her future life, but we hope she will enter college as she desires. Lyceum Senior Picnic Committee ESTHER SHREIBMAN What do you mean?” Esther is a charming girl with pretty eyes and beautiful hair. She always says just what she means, whatever the cost may be. At times she is brilliant in her studies, but we don’t think they worry her much. To know her well is to like her better and it is with much regret that we reluctant- ly part from her. RACHEL BAILEY A quiet girl, yet a charming one.” Rachel is the girl with a voice. Apparently she is very quiet and reserved, but we think this is a case where appearances are deceitful. Nobody in the school is more jolly or full of fun than Rachel. She almost graduated last year but very wisely, (we think), she chose the class of T6. Some day we will all go to the theater to hear the talented so- prano, Miss Rachel Bailey,” you just see if we don’t. LARNARD BRYAN Of all the great fussers on land and sea, Pray tell us who it is, if it is not he.” Little Larnard—a notorious person and one of the charter members of E. F. A. His smile is that of a professional person, and his heart!!! Musical? Well, we wonder! His voice is as sweet as the tone of the Liberty bell, only a little more cracked. If you ever hear this expression, Come on, let’s go outside,” you may be positive, almost, that it sound- ed from his ruby lips. At present he is laboring in a drug store, so that he is an authority on cooling drinks. We also hear that he takes great pleasure in putting up beauty powders. ___1916 Sy1__ CANADESAGAN JOHN NICKEL Beware the fury of a patient man.” John is a very conservative fellow who is not as cheap as his name implies. He is the very best quality of nickel. He studies hard but is far from a grind. In school no one ever saw him with a girl, but you should see him outside. He believes the Germans will win out in the end and there is no one like Der Kaiser” to him. John is a very pa- tient chap, standing for a lot of things, but some day we expect to see his patience snap, and then watch out! ADRIA L. DRAKE Good humor is always a success.” Look, one and all, for here is our noted com- edian! Her wit has gained a wide reputation for her with both sexes. Have you seen the latest ring? Just get a glimpse of it as it circles Adria’s finger, for it is a regular young jawbreaker. (We don’t know what that means, either.—Ed.) Her loyalty to Buffalo University is only accounted for by one fact, and that, to be sure, is a mighty good- looking one. Adria is just everlastingly jolly and jt is far from her nature to miss a good time. Class Play Senior Reception Committee FANNY EITEL There is no great secret. I simply keep my mind on my work.” We believe it because Fanny seems to be a very industrious person. As to results, you all know what a shark she is, especially in Math., hav- ing received 99 in Intermediate. Rumor has it that she is getting through in three years and after go- ing to our local Female College, intends to be a teacher. But she does other things —O yes! We hear of a very humorous member of the Other Sex from whom she has heard, and has been overcome by his wit; (his name begins with F” to help you along.) We hope all the above mentioned affairs will close satisfactorily. Senior Banquet Committee MARY A. ERSLEY How far that little candle throws its beam! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.” Mary is always kind and charitable and will- ingly lends a helping hand. She always appears calm and unruffled but nevertheless she has a merry heart that rejoices in good times. She is popular among the lads and lassies, and seems to have a particular liking for a certain Southside per- son. Although Mary does not know what she is going to do next year, we are sure she will make the best of her opportunities. ____52HE55_____ •CANADESAGAN ••• MARION RICE A girl with school spirit.” Marion is a student of whom we may well be proud. She is an earnest one, and helps, by her well prepared lessons, to keep the standard of our class high. Marion is an enthusiastic supporter of all school activities, being both a member of the Girl’s Athletic Association and a member of the Girl’s Debating Club. She is often seen carrying letters in her books, which are sent to her by a cer- tain member of last year’s class. We don’t think it necessary to mention his name. Girl’s Basketball Lyceum KENNETH HOLLEY Did he ever see a basketball? Well, I guess yes.” Yes, Fusser” is his name, although we do not know where it came from, and it is only one of many. He is commonly called by an abbreviation of his first name. Kenny is a star guard on our basketball team and this year he captained the quintet. He is very studious(?) and we hear that he is interested in one of our P Gs. I wonder who she is? Never mind Kenn, we don’t blame you and we are wishing you a great many things. Captain Basketball Stage M’gr. Class Play GRACE MATHEWS A very amiable miss.” Grace is a jolly good companion once you be- come acquainted with her. She seems to have little use for the masculine part of the world’s pop- ulation, however. At least, we know she didn’t at one time—but of course she might have changed since then. Our search for information about Grace has failed to reveal anything very startling, so we judge she has no special hobbies” unless, perchance, it were tatting. RICHARD F. WENTZ There is not a man I meet but doth salute me As if I were his well acquainted friend; And everyone doth call me by my name.” This quotation has ever applied to Dick, and especially since the Class Play. In that event he certainly won well-deserved fame. He is the scream of the school. It has been said that he could make a horse laugh and we are almost ready to believe it. His accomplishments are numerous. His poetry is ravishing, his music is bliss, his draw- ings are adorable and humorous, and dancing with him is like Paradise. And how he loathes work! (O yes!) You never see him studying, yet he knows not what a downright flunk is. His pranks sometimes sorely try his teachers, but his good- nature is so catching” that they just have to for- give him and make up. CANADESAGAN BOARD CLASS PLAY Track Team ___5HHIZ53___ CANADESAGAN HERMAN F. VIEWEG It’s the little things in life that count.” And Herman is the smallest that we have. He studies hard and is one of those sharks in his stud- ies that you read about. He is a quiet sort of fel- low, but has many friends. Although Herman is neutral it has leaked out that he doesn’t care if the Kaiser does win, so don’t start an argument with him if you want to get the best of it. We predict that Herman will be a great man some day and wish him much success. Forum BERTHA FEINBERG He who would gather roses must not fear thorns.” Now why do you suppose we chose such a quo- tation? Try your luck at guessing, dear friends, and see how near you can come to it. Seriously, Bertha is a good student, although not a star, and she manages to keep up with her work by earnest effort, which is a great deal more than many of us can say. She has a decided leaning toward Ameri- can History, and ’tis said that Mr. Wilson likes to call” on her. Huh ? O! for recitation, of course! Nevertheless, even if she does like to study, that’s no sign that she can't find time to enjoy herself. Just ask her friends. KENNETH M STEWART Solemn and studious.” Kenneth hails from Wellsburg, the land of the green. He is a confirmed woman-hater and his philosophy is startling. He is used as an informa- tion bureau by all his associates and his answers are mostly like those of the Delphic Oracle. Aside from this he’s all right. EDITH FIDELMAN Yes you have deserved high commendation and true applause.” Edith has certainly deserved high commenda- tion and applause when her studies are considered and by her kindness and her willingness to explain things to duller mortals, she has won our respect and admiration. She was never known to look at a boy until on her recent trip and we fear, from what has reached our ears, that some of the gal- lants of a certain Pennsylvania town have been basking too much in the light of her lovely brown eyes. Well Edith, we beg you to be gentle with the poor souls. ftlllll ___523HI55______ •CANADESAGAN • GERTRUDE FRISBIE Divinely tall and most divinely fair.” Gert” is another one of our tall, good-looking girls. She has the most wonderful profile. Added to this, her light curly hair, black-lashed gray eyes, her gracefulness and charming manner, make her very popular. She is lucky, too. Every place she goes, even around the hall in school, a Car(r)” takes her. May she live long and happily. CHARLES KELLY Did anyone ever hear of him?” It is the marvel of the school that Charlie has escaped the wiles of the fair sex. He is so hand- some ! Hair black and thick and curly, and eyes of the bluest blue. He is just plain shark in Chemis- try and is going to shine as a Pharmacist before long, for that is the work he will take up in Phila- delphia after he leaves old E. F. A. Best wishes to you Charlie, and good luck. PAULINE E. FREEMAN A practical joker whom few escape.” Yes, behold the joker of deck number 1-9-1-6. If she has never played a joke on you, thank your lucky stars and laugh at those she plays on others. Pauline has numerous abilities, among them one that most of us would like to possess— namely the ability to slip through each month with little or no work, and still come out ahead in her regents in the end. HELENA HARRINGTON One of the fairest of the fair.” Tall and slender, red lips, pink cheeks, blue eyes, and a heavy mass of brown hair, Helena is one of the beauties of our class. She can act, play basketball, dance, sing, cook, and—well really, Hel- ena’s accomplishments are too numerous to men- tion. Jolly and full of fun, she has made many friends. She is to enter Clifton Springs and train herself to be a nurse, but we know it will not be her final vocation in life, for so far as matrimony is concerned, Helena’s fate is settled already, and there is no need to mention names. Here’s to you, Helena, and as you leave old E. F. A. the best wishes and kind thoughts of everyone go with you. Class Play Senior Party Committee __S? 1916 S -1_ CANADESAGAN • • • JESSIE M. WARNER With malice toward none, with charity for all.” Jessie’s greatest ambition is to continue her study of Domestic Science at Rochester M. I., or at Cornell and we sincerely hope that her wish may be gratified. She seems especially attractive to a tall, dark-eyed young man who is in the habit of wearing tortoise shell glasses. She is always cheer- ful and willing to do anything she can for any one of her many friends. Senior Banquet Committee MARGARET RONAN I’ve taken my fun when I found it.” Whoever heard of Marg ” enveloped in gloom ? No one, we bet, as it never was. She has always something to relate and is a regular storage for jokes. Her walk is also a characteristic feature— you can’t exactly describe it, but it’s kind of a rag- time roll or something else of that nature. You can always spot her by this peculiar manner of naviga- tion. And let me tell you some scandal—one day we saw on the sleeve of one of our would-be-called bashful seniors a long red hair. Other incidents strongly pointed to Marg. For all this, she’s a good scout and we hope she’ll preserve her charm- ing disposition. EDWARD HOURIHAN And wisely tell what hour o’ th ’ day The clock doth strike, by Algebra.” One has to be very well acquainted with Ed ” to appreciate him. He is a commercial student of some ability and most of the noise from room eighteen is said to come from his typewriter. They tell us that he is bashful but if you could see him meeting a certain maid in the lower halls every day, you would see that there is no truth in this. GOLDIE ROSENCRANS Still waters run deep.” From all appearances one would think that Goldie was of the quiet, studious kind whose only ambition is to work, but we maintain that appear- ances are often deceiving. Just ask one of her inti- mate friends. She is the life of every social gath- ering at which she is present, and could with one of her funny remarks, make a crutch seem like a joke. Happily, however, Goldie knows where to draw the line on her jokes, and moreover, she is a capital student. 4 ____52HHZ55__ CANADESAGAN CARL MOWREY A rock in times of stress.” Zock” is one of the best line men that E. F. A' has ever produced, and has been on the eleven for four years. He never loses his temper and is always ready to help anyone. He is one of Uncle Sam’s soldiers, and if we need protection we will call on him. We hope to hear of Carl as playing College football in the near future. Football Senior Party Committee Class Play E. F. A. Entertainment DOROTHY G. HAMMOND. Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie.” Ain’t it swell?” If you ever hear this, you may be sure that Dot is near you, for it is her most frequent utterance. She is one of the musical genii of our class and she certainly can play a cor- net. We venture to prophesy that before many years she will have joined a well-known orchestra. Dot is a good student but does not let her lessons interfere with her dates.” E. F. A. Entertainment ALDA HADLOCK With flaxen hair and charming air and eyes that are appealing, Cupid’s dart goes straight to heart and fays to her are kneeling.” The above speaks for itself. There isn’t a more popular girl in school with both girls and boys. Alda didn’t decide she was a Senior until along in February, when she thought it wouldn’t be amiss to graduate—for which we are truly thankful. Her worry over work in school is conspicuous by its ab- sence, yet she absorbs a great deal of knowledge or at least puts up a good bluff. Her crushes have been numerous and thrilling—we can’t pretend to keep up with them any more. After taking a P. G. course she now expects to go to Wellesley. O (p)Shaw! ” (Absolutely too good to keep, Alda.) MARTHA L. HAMMOND A merry, dark-eyed lass.” Martha is very attentive with her dark eyes and dark hair, and especially so to a certain young man from the Heights. She possesses a happy dis- position and many abilities that make her a good student. Her ambition is to go through Elmira College and prepare herself for a position as teach- er of Biology. We venture to predict that in a few years Martha will probably return to E. F. A. as such. E. F. A. Entertainment ____ 1916 SP_ CANADESAGAN ROBERT POWELL We should worry.” Bob is a youth with a smile that never wears off. He can study the night before a test and know all of his work for the past month. If study ever worried him we never knew it. It is beyond our imagination how he is going to graduate but we will wager that he will beat most of us. He has no time for the girls but spends his time on something worth while, so he says. MARGARET METCALF The outdoor life is the life for me.” If Margaret were a sample of the Southport girls, then Southport girls would be The Girls.” So frank, full of fun and capable; such a jolly good chum that every body likes her and wants her to be present at everything that goes on. Margaret is the nature girl. She knows where the first vio- lets grow, where the May flowers are, where to get the biggest chestnuts, how to build a camp fire, and everything that goes with outdoor life. She fairly radiates good fun. Sh! It's a secret. She intends to be an optometrist and study people’s eyes. She will make a success of it, too. She hasn’t failed in anything yet. EARL WEMPLE His bark is worse than his bite.” Earl is a very ambitious fellow, as everybody knows. He is indispensable to the Forum and he also helps heat the building with his orations. But we don’t want to discourage him in his fine opin- ions of--well, guess who. We can’t seem to find any special hobby of his, no scandal—absolutely not a thing. So we will close by wishing him luck according to time-honored formula. Forum Senior Banquet Committee RUTH REBER A clever actress is she.” Yes, Ruth is certainly a talented actress and of late she has become seriously and actively interest- ed in dramatics. We quite agree that some day she will become a star. She is a very clever artist and her drawings have made her shine in that line. Ruth never troubles her studies, but while they always trouble her, never fear, for one of her little arguments now and then can get her through. ______Sr11916 LyJ_ •CANADESAGAN • I slept and dreamed of many things, And some seemed oh, so queer! But do not be surprised to hear That in my dreams a picture clear Arose before me with much cheer; But waste no tears and fear no harm, For in this picture of false alarms I saw some dear old faces bright. Which appeared to be in future life. I. Now first I saw, before my eyes, In great glory and looking wise, Our old friend, Rosie” Alpert. She seemed to stand on corner grand, And preaching strong with her left hand I seemed to hear her say: “Now everyone please vote for me,. For I represent a suffrage ‘B’.” (bug) II. Now, next I saw Miss Adria Drake Taking part in a monstrous fake; For on the bill boards, posted high, And in sure reach of every eye, I saw that she that night appeared In what was termed, A Jolly Drake”. III. Now surely I saw dear Lucy Lawes So busy with her splendid paws”; For she appeared as a seamstress fine, And made only apparel divine. IV. Now fourth I saw Camilla Bryan Who seemed as mighty as a lion ; For she was posing for movies rare, And jumped from cliffs high in the air; (Which caused a great excitement round, For she did land on her lover bound.) V. Now fifth I saw Miss Hazel Fey Who has grown to be a sport so gay; She goes as a clown in every town, And with a famous circus is bound. _____55JHZ55____ - CANADESAGAN - vi. Now, as I entered a spacious court, Their stood Bertha Feinberg so short. She was acting as a clerk so great, And calling victims to their fate. VII. Irene Field is next I think, And gracious! how she made me blink! For she has become a flirty gink”, And has suitors galore with every wink. VIII. Now eighth I saw dear Florence Winner, Who has become a mighty singer; The Hippodrome her place of fame, Where she appeared as the leading dame. IX. Why Allen Reed, why for such speed ? Ah! You run the E. P. D. Indeed! Well here is wishing you much success, With many brave and great arrests. X. Paul McKinney of all great men, Busily writing with his swift pen; For he is a temperance leader of note, And we hear famous lectures come from his throat. XI. Oh! Here is an inventor born, And his name is Don Van Horn; Ford, Edison and other men, His name does quite o’ershadow them. XII. Down in the Bowery, my eyes were attracted, And the Salvation Army for the moment distracted ; But when I saw the leaders, my glance stayed awhile, For there were Collson, Hyde and Benson raving wild. XIII. Something roused me from my sleep, And take it from me, it sounded deep. For while I dreamed in room sixteen, Of many things in future to be seen, The dear old fire drill took place, And the bell woke me up as though slapped in the face. Gone was my dream of bright future things, As I slowly responded to the bells frantic rings. ___5HHH55______ •CANADESAGAN - Our life as grammar school kids” was over at last and we parted from our teachers with never-to-be-remembered promises to return for a visit. We had become young ladies and young gentlemen. Our initial appearance (horribly nervous time!) was made on September 3, 1912. But oh, cruel fate! We were divided into two sections, one division having its headquarters at No. 2 Annex, and the other at No. 3 Annex, far away across the beautiful, winding Chemung. Such a condition naturally had no tend- ency toward cohesion, but we got along fairly well. The greatest disappoint- ment, and our heaviest burden was the name the Sophs wished on us— Freshmen! And next, to our great joy, we were united in the new building in January. Some confusion at first, but we soon made friends with our classmates, so what cared we ? We emulated the upper-classmen and had a good time generally, until June came along, when we buckled down to work. Some by luck, some by pluck, and others Heaven only knows how, passed our exams, and we were off for our vacation. Our two months of recuperation over, we once more returned to E. F. A. in September. All we did for the first few weeks as Sophs was to watch the Freshmen, to whom we had given our former name, as they rushed hither and yon. All corridors seemed to end at the office for them. How often we wondered: Did we ever look and act like that?” We won- der even now! However, we soon became more interested in other things than wondering. Never has the old school seen a finer football team than the one we had in the fall of T3. Athletics became one of our chief interests. Why of course! You didn’t think we had social activities, did you? We should say we did ! June, however, took all the wind out of the sails of youthful frivolity, but we came up smiling, just the same. After our usual reunion in the fall of ’14, our Junior year started in quietly enough. We stood around, looked pleasant, and watched the Sophs torment the Freshies. Our election of class officers came first. Also our class took a hand in athletics and helped out to the best of its ability. ______ST11916 Sy-1_ •CANADESAGAN• Outside of a few minor social affairs, our Junior year passed as quickly as we could wish and as quietly as it had begun. We had our troubles in June as usual, but once again we came out of the fight with colors flying, and away we went to spend the happy summer months elsewhere. Seniors! There is magic in the word. Did we not acquire just a little dignity, a more quiet, efficient way of doing our work when we acquired that title? Be that as it may, our Senior year far surpassed all the other years of our sojourn in E. F. A. Our election of class officers was attended by much strife and dissension among our ranks; they were all evidently good ones. Very happily, the choice of our patron saint was practically unanimous. Our Senior Reception, the biggest social event of the year, was held on Thanksgiving Eve, and was a splendid success. Next in order came a masquerade party tendered to the Class of T6 by the Class of T5, and we accepted joyfully, the Class of T5 proving to be royal entertainers. On the twenty-first of February we returned the compliment by giving the Class of T5 a party. The members of the faculty were also present and a fine time was enjoyed by all. Our class had charge of the Arbor Day exercises, and a short but delightful program was the means of giving all who heard it a little recreation. Our class play was given in May, and those who patronized it did not regret having spent their money to see it. Early in June came our class picnic—good eats, good looking people, and above all, a good time. We pushed through our exams some way or other, and marched toward Commencement with a rather trembling, but determined tread. The exercises were held in the morning, and all of us went home to wait for evening and the culminating event of our school life—the class banquet. Our last good time together, and how we did enjoy it! From this closing event we departed for our various destinations, scattered far and wide o’er the country. What a store of memories have we, and what a deep-cherished affection for the dear old school which sends us forth prepared to fight our own battles! Many times in the future will those dear old days be recalled—those days we spent within the walls of our Alma Mater and now we must bid it farewell. nuim ____52U655_____ -CANADESAGAN • A Htfe TE mm Some hundred little boys and girls, One bright September day, With their tablets and their fountain pens, Set forth for E. F. A. They registered as Freshmen, And they really felt quite scared; For all the “Sophs” they chanced to meet, Just stared at them—and stared. Tho’ placed in different buildings, In purpose they were one; To work their very hardest And have just a bit of fun. Their teachers often lectured them, And often did repeat These words: “You’ll find this high school life Indeed is bitter-sweet”. “What’s bitter-sweet ? ” the Freshmen said, —“That surely can’t be true; If a thing is really, truly sweet. It can’t be bitter, too.” Now some of these good boys and girls Oft worked till late at night, Preparing well their lessons So they always could recite. And sometimes they grew weary And wished that they might do As other boys and girls they saw, Who played the whole day thru. But when the Regents time rolled ’round, The students who had worked, Came thru with flying colors; —But alas, the ones who shirked ! They sadly shook repentant heads, Tho’ trying hard to smile, And said, “Well, we’ve had lots of fun, —But was it worth the while ? ” And those who had achieved success Remarked—their joy complete— “Our work was often bitter But the fruits, indeed, are sweet”. Thus learned they in their high school days That life’s indeed a race, Where only he with purpose strong May hope to gain a place; That one must learn to cast aside Full many a joyous treat, And struggle on thru bitter ways To victory that is sweet. _____SP 1916 ‘-y-J_ • CANADESAGAN - (Hn ditiora of 191fi cCune—” Jl ‘Perfect Pay” When we come to the end of our high school days, Near the end of all school days, too, And we stand here together, side by side, With our classmates, loyal and true, Do we think what the end of these high school days May mean to us one and all, When we leave the protection of E. F. A. For the world with its mighty call ? Do we think of the scares that await us there, In this world so vast and great? Do we think of the joys that will come to us, If we’re patient and work and wait ? But before we pass out from this dear old school Let us bless every teacher here, And give thanks for the help and the patience shown To us all from year to year. Since this is the last of our high school days, Now we enter the mighty throng Of people, who journey along life’s path, Some in tears and some in song, Then wish us good luck, O friends so true, And speed us on our ways; With a grasp of the hand and a hearty cheer, May we all meet in future days!

However, it can honestly be said that no better paper has been issued in the school. The yindex was taken charge of by Liscum Diven, Editor-in-Chief, and William Roosa, Business Manager. The Literary Department consisted of Lauretta Riffe, Ida Marks and Harry Carey, each of whom wrote several good stories. The Fireless Cooker” was well handled by Judson Hoover and John Denton. Much credit is due to Sarah Record, who had charge of the Exchanges, and also for her work as stenographer and all-around man”. The school activities were well recorded by Florence Winner, Marion Rice, and Clayton Shoemaker in Among Ourselves”. The Forum Editor was Earle Wemple, and the athletic department was in charge of Lawrence O’Connor. Russell Fudge was Art Editor and he supplied the paper with live cuts. Ezra Havens also contributed to this department. Allen Reed was elected Associate Editor and he rendered valuable aid toward the suc- cess of the Vindex. Miss Bailey, as faculty adviser, was invaluable and helped in many ways; Miss Youmans acted very ably as art adviser. The Videx never had a more successful business year. Bill” Roosa was a tire- less worker and his excellent assistants deserve a great deal of credit. His assistants were: Guy Shoemaker, Assistant Business Manager; Harold Brooks, Circulation Manager; Chester Howell, Jr., Harold Ames, Sherman Voorhees, Sophomore and Freshman Managers. Mr. Nichols gave much of his time to the paper as business adviser. The features of this year were the Girls’ Number, edited by Florence Winner, with Sarah Record as business manager; the Humorous Number, the April Fool Number, and the Senior Number. The First Annual Vindex Banquet was held April 7th, and never was such a good time enjoyed in the Academy. Frank Ross, Editing Manager of the Herald, gave a splendid talk on newspaper work; and Frank Tripp, Editor of the Star-Gazette, gave, in his characteristic way, the best and most humorous speech ever heard by those present. After the speaking, dancing was enjoyed. The unity and industry of the board throughout the year was most exceptional. E.

Snyder, Secretary Harold Babcock, Vice-President Thomas McGill, Treasurer Prof. Martin L. Wilson, Adviser and Coach The school year of 1915-16 has brought success to debating in E. F. A. It is interesting to note the advancement made by the Forum, our boys’ debating club. Although starting the year with but thirteen members, the club now numbers forty- eight. With Mr. Wilson as adviser and coach, every fellow has profited as a member of the club. During most of the year there were weekly debates on important and interesting questions of the day, between teams picked from the members. There were many hot discussions and a person hearing them must often have been in doubt as to which side had won. On certain evenings the club met as a congress. Older mem- bers were the Senators, the younger the Representatives. During these meetings the Forum decided what the United States should do. (Unqualified they were, perhaps, but it must have been fun.) All bills that • issed both Houses were sent to President Wilson for his signature. Of course Pro' m was president, but we regret to say that he never carried out his duty; he ne. „iv signed a bill! These meetings served their purpose for now the members of the Forum are prepared to go to Washington to serve their country as Congressmen. (Wow!) The Forum also had a debating team which debated on Preparedness” with the Lyceum, the Girls’ Debating Society. At the close of school, the Forum will give a banquet to its members. Hymmt Ruth ReBER, President VERA SPENCER, Secretary IDA McNeAL, Vice-President IRENE ELLIOT, Treasurer Laura Manley, Faculty Adviser This society is made up of twenty-five enthusiastic girls, who meet every week at 3:45 to debate in the Forum Room. These members are divided into two teams, A and B. The first and third meetings of the month are given over to debate between these two teams. At the second meeting of the month current events are discussed and impromtu debates held on any subject suggested. The fourth week is devoted to the study of Parliamentary law. Much credit is due Miss Manley, the faculty adviser, for the success of the club. Miss Manley and the charter members have built up the membership to its present number, and the rudiments of debating have been taught to the members. The girls are proud of their efforts in establishing a girls’ debating society in E. F. A., and well they may be, for the club has been a decided success. The first team as it is picked, holds debates with outside teams and the Forum. The Lyceum colors are light blue and gold. (Lyceum picture on next page.) ___52HH52___ CANADESAGAN E. F. A. DEBATING TEAM The E. F. A. debating team, composed of Harold Babcock, Leader; Thos. F. Carr, Robert Synder, and James Grady, Alternate, took all the wind out of Binghamton’s sails this year. It was a complete victory for us, and by this victory, we have possession of the Amherst Cup for another year. The question was, “Resolved: That there should be a prompt and substantial increase in the U. S. Navy”. This debate was also a financial success. With the money realized a declamation contest is to be held, open to any one in the school. Afterwards this same question was debated with Corning Northside High, but we met defeat. But we sure were satisfied enough when the team defeated Binghamton.

Under the able supervision of Preston D. Fogg, former Syracuse and Intercollegiate champion, practice began at once, Soon after, Cole, being unable to give his time to the team, resigned, and Ranger Collson was elected in his place. Van Horn had arranged a fine schedule and the first event was the Inter-class meet, which was held at the Armory, March 4th. The Seniors won with 47J 2 points, while the Juniors and Sophomores fought for second place, getting 22 and 1714 points respectively. March 11th, the team, composed of Flynn, Huntley, Wentz, Stevenson, Gallavan, Nelson, Basler, Collson and Van Horn, went to Rochester, where they showed their metal. They came back after having won third place, which was the occasion for rejoicing at school. Flynn, Stevenson, Wentz and Van Horn won first place in the relay race, which was hotly contested. Van Horn tied for first in the 220, and Huntley tied for first in the pole- vault; after which, just to show what he was made of, he broke the record. This book goes to press before the season is over, but we know that our fellows will do well in the meets to come. At present the team is composed of Nelson, Basler, Collson and Wigsten as distance men; Flynn, Stevenson, Gallavan, Hooker, Van Horn and Cole for the dashes; Rader, Cole and Hooker in the high and broad jumps; Wentz at the hurdles; and Huntley in field events (jumps, pole-vault and shot-put).

Sarah Record was chosen for this office, and she filled the place remarkably well, arrang- ing a fast schedule for the representative team of the school. Sarah Record, Lillian McCabe, Sibyl Hauver, Irene Field, Bessie Graves and Helena Harrington made up this team. The team displayed excellent team work and much individual talent was discovered. Having only two defeats to their discredit, and seven games to their credit, we consider them a pretty good team. The guards, Hauver, Graves and Harrington, played fast games and held the opposing teams down to low scores by their good work. McCabe, the center, was good not only on both offense and defense, but starred also at shooting baskets. Irene Field and Sarah Record displayed fine ability at shooting baskets too.

The first act of this play, which takes place in our own country, deals with the incidents of Captain John Smith’s captivity among the Chuck-Dollah Indians. The captain is condemned to death by Pow-hat-on, but is saved through the efforts of Pocahontas and John Rolfe, who comes to the Indian camp in search of his friend, Captain Smith, and later disguises himself as a great prophet of Hot-Pots. In the meantime Ah-Meek, the Indian mother- in-law, falls in love with Smith and offers to marry him. Smith, however, puts her off by Charles x. o'brien telling her that he must marry Pocahontas because she saved his life. The second act brings all the characters to England before Queen Anne. Pow-hat-on makes Rolfe extremely happy by consenting to his marriage with Pocahontas, while Queen Ann, in order to save her favorite, Captain Smith, takes matters in her own hands and persuades Ah-Meek that she must marry Ah-Hum, the Indian medicine man. The most prominent members of the cast were: Margaret Fay in the titular role of Pocahontas”; Jay Parker as John Smith”; Alden Baxter as Ah Meek”; and Lawrence O’Connor as John Rolfe”. Miss Fay interpreted her part in a very pleasing manner, and her sweet soprano voice was greatly enjoyed in Mr. O’Brien’s song, You’re Just Like the God I See in Dreams”. The song, O Life is Worth the Living”, was also charmingly rendered by Miss Fay. Jay Parker might well be classed as one of the best actors on the E. F. A. stage in the last two years. His song, This is a Mighty Land”, was a rare treat, and the audiences showed their apprecia- tion by their loud applause. The duet, You are so Brave”, sung by Jay Parker and Peg” Fay was well rendered and was one of those peculiarly catchy songs that especially delight an audience. Not enough can be said in praise of Alden Baxter’s interpretation of Ah-Meek”. It was a very difficult part to portray, yet it was enacted to perfection. His song, Once I Gave a Dinner Party”, was exceedingly clever, and he sang it in great style. Louis Miller as Pow-hat-on” made an excellent Indian chief and his strong voice was heard to advantage in several numbers. Lawrence O’Connor as John Rolfe” was a surprise to many. His songs, He-Yah! Bow-wow! ” and I am a Prophet”, were given as only he can give them. The part of Ah-Hum”, the Indian medicine man, was very capably taken by Earle Moore. The remaining parts in the cast were taken by Donald Richardson, Alice Grinnel, Viola Mitchell, Dorothy Hammond and John Crowe. Helen Connelly and Martha Richford as Wah-Wah” and Tay-See” were greatly appreciated in their song, Pray Ask Us”. Miss Connelly’s specialty was repeatedly encored and proved to be one of the most attract- ive features of the play. ___cy J 1916 SH__ •CANADESAGAN •• PoraljmttaH—(Unntinupd The members of the chorus were as follows: Indian Maids—Harriette Kniffin, Lillian Mellan, Martha Hammond, Helena Barnes, Bessie Graves, Genevieve Brooks, Ellen Devlin. Indian Braves—Alfred Simdahl, William Petzke, Ezra Havens, Percy Snyder, Karl Havens, Carl Mowrey, Carleton Stanchfield. Ladies of the Court—Florence Warner, Esther Cowan, Margaret Watts, Eleanor Ryan, Louise Barnhart, Grace Jessen Louise Henry, Lillian McCabe, Marion Sullivan, Gertrude Eggert. Yeomen of the Guard—Harold Shay, Ezra Havens, Joseph Crotty, Harold Brooks, Sumner Morgan. In the second act, the court scene, several specialties were very cleverly introduced by Mr. O’Brien. Mooney” Lovitch won the immediate and appreciative favor of everyone with his delightful song, Bonnie High- land Johnnie”, accompanied by a dance. Miss Fannie Fidelman gave an equally delightful dance. The Song of the Cities,” written by Mr. O’Brien, was perhaps the most attractive specialty offered. This consisted of a vocal and dance number by each of seven couples, representing seven American cities, and a concluding ensemble. The following people took part in this specialty: Recitative, Charles Cole Chicago- Elizabeth Van Dyne and Edwin Kretchman Montreal—Sarah Record and Harold Ames New Orleans—Grace Stratton and Karl Havens San Francisco—Katherine Canavan and Clarence Beam Philadelphia--Edna Seeley and Meyer Hesselson New York—Margaret Winner and Richard Thurston Elmira—Mary Campbell and Ezra Havens The prologue was sung by Liscum Diven, ahd he also gave the epi- logue, assisted by the entire company. The credit for the success of the play is due to Mr. O’Brien, as his excellent work in the way of original touches, his songs, and his faithful, painstaking work as coach and musical instructor practically made the play. Earle Moore is also deserving of credit as manager of the production. 3l«at a Hr? Not? of uHjattka in all lljnnp tljat an kindly Ijplprd an in any may in I hr prpparatinn nf litis bnnk.

We have heard much of the excellence of the two plays preceding this one, but we certainly think that ours is the prize one of the three. In every way it was an immense success, and Miss Josephine Bailey, who coached the players, deserves an unlimited amount of praise. The general plot of the play centers about the two Aunts”, real and otherwise. Two college boys, Jack Chesney and Charley Wyckeham, very much in love, and anxious to get an oppor- tunity of declaring their affections, invite their young ladies to a luncheon party at their college rooms at Oxford, to meet Charley’s aunt, a Brazilian millionairess whom Charley is expecting to visit him. The girls accept but the aunt fails to put in an appearance. The boys, frantically seeking a substitute, in desperation force another college boy to assume the part of the aunt; and with the appearance of this bewigged and petticoated hypocrite, who has much difficulty in regulating his spirits, the fun begins. The girls fall in love with her”, to the intense exasperation of their respect- ive suitors; two elderly gentlemen, Jack’s father, and Spettigue, propose to the supposed millionairess, who meets these difficult situations with skill and much relish on his part. Finally the real aunt appears; finding an im- poster on the scene, she assumes another name, and awaits the outcome. She happens to bring with her a young lady whom the fake” aunt has loved in his recent past, and the appearance of his beloved one throws the young man into a frenzy of eagerness to doff his role, now grown irksome, and proffer his attentions in his real character. His refusal to act his part any longer brings matters to a crisis, but the catastrophe which seemed impend- ing with disclosure is fortunately averted and the play ends happily for all concerned—with the exception of the grouchy old villain Spettigue, for whom nobody cares, anyway. The part of Charley’s Aunt” was taken admirably by Richard Wentz, who played his dual character to perfection. The parts of the two college boys, Jack and Charley, were taken by Leslie Benson and Clayton Shoemaker respectively. They acted their parts with thoroughly humerous realism. Helena Harrington as Kitty Verdon”, Jack’s intended, and Marie Connelly as Amy Spettigue”, Charley’s intended, played their parts well. Ruth Fraser took the part of the fake” aunt’s sweetheart. The real aunt was impersonated by Adria Drake, as Donna Lucia Delvedorez”. The two elderly suitors, Sir Francis Chesney and Stephen Spettigue, were impersonated by Judson Hoover and Leon Nelson, respectively. Brasset”, the butler, a notable comedy character, was a scream” as acted by Carl Mowrey. Jerry Rhodes appears with much typical dignity as a footman. The play was given on the evening of May 5th, and the afternoon of May 6th, in the Academy auditorium. Kenneth Holley was stage manager, Alfred McCarthy was business manager, and Allen Reed was treasurer. ____523UZ52___ CANADESAGAN 1 _____SP 1916 S -1_ •CANADESAGAN• The annual Senior Recepton was held Wednesday evening, Novem- ber 24th by the class of T6. It was given in the new hall of the Masonic Temple and the place was ideal for our reception. The 1916 banner, resplen- dent yet dignified in its dark green and gold, was hung over the stage, where Swartwood’s Orchestra played for the dancing. The participants in the Terpsichorean art, of which there were about 100 couples, continued danc- ing until half past twelve. Around the hall under the galleries, tables pro- vided with cards were set out for the foot-sore and weary, and for those who did not care to dance. During the evening excellent punch and wafers were served in the hall just off the dance floor. On the whole the reception was a great success, for besides the fact that everyone had a good time, comes the incident that we made money instead of losing it as in times past. Miss Hibbard, Miss Hopkins and Miss Calkins contributed to the success and dignity of the occasion by acting as patronesses. The committee in charge was as follows: Guy Shoemaker, chairman; Alden Van Campen, Bessie Graves, Estelle Welles, Leslie Benson, Harold Reid, Adria Drake, Esther Cowan, Daniel Buckley, Karl Havens and Mildred Dingier. Unitor Party On Monday evening, February 21st, we entertained the members of the class of T5 at a party held in the gym, in return for the splendid even- ing’s enjoyment which they had given us at Christmas time. The mem- bers of the faculty were also present, in order to see that we did not get into mischief. (We sure need a lot of looking after, we’ll have to admit.) At seven o’clock a bounteous supper was served in the cafeteria, after which we all adjourned to the gym. There each one became a member of a well-known college team”, and a mock track meet ensued. Among the exceedingly funny events, preceded and accompanied by impromptu yells from the different colleges”, were the balloon race, the peanut race, the broad grin (jump), the shot put, and the relay race. We are more than sorry that space does not permit us to explain and describe the events in detail, for they were very interesting, and all the events were hotly contested. Yale came in first with 20 points, Cornell second with 18£ points, and Syracuse was third with 8i points. Columbia, Pennsylvania and Princeton were left way out in the cold. After the track meet” Richard Wentz pre- sided at the piano, assisted by Helen Newman, Miss Bailey and others, and dancing was enjoyed for the balance of the evening. The success of the party was due to the following committees: Entertainment Committee: Carl Mowrey, chairman; Harriette Kniffin, Helena Harrington, Jennie Seafuse, Lawrence O’Connor, Harold Hunt and Dorr Martin. Supper Committee: Florence Winner, chairman; Anna Kraft, Mary Reed, William Cusick, Matthew Gallavan and Clayton Shoemaker. 1916 S?_ CANADESAGAN p n n —1r-i M The Senior Banquet will be held on Commencement Eve, probably at the Hotel Rathbun, This promises to be an event which we will long remember as a fitting close to our high school life. There are sure to be lots of good things to eat, spicy toasts and much good feeling. It’s too bad that this book must go to press before such things as this come off. The committee in charge is as follows: J. Stenson Killea, chairman of the gen- eral committee; Easter Howe, Jeannette Deyo, Beatrice Espey, Jessie Warner, Thurza Taynton, Matthew Gallavan, Harold Copeland and Edmund Bower. The Eats” committee is as follows: Jennie Seafuse, chairman; Harriette Kniffin, Dorothy Leavitt, Fanny Eitel, Gordon Curtis, Walter Smith, and Earl Wemple. nttnr Jftrnir The Senior Picnic is another event which this book precedes. As usual it will be held at Rorick’s Glen, and a good time is surely in store for us. The committee in charge is composed of: Sarah Record, chairman; Nina Allen, Hazel Campbell, Marie Connelly, Lois Dann, Harold Reid, Frederick Parsons and Paul McKinney. Masqupra p |Iartg On Friday evening, December 10,1915, the class of T5gave a masquer- ade to the class of T6. There were many bright colored costumes in the gym that night and much guessing as to who was who. Before the masks were removed a grand march was held to reveal better the motley crowd. Santa Claus caused much merriment when he presented the various people with presents, which proved to be most appropriate for those who received them. The old-fashioned suckers were very much in evidence until more bounteous refreshments were served. Dancing was enjoyed until time to eat, and then we broke up. Everyone had a splendid time and voted 1915 to be royal entertainers. Misses Helen Newman, Viola Bishop, and Josephine Bailey furnished music, and Miss Bailey, Miss Gamble and Miss Rockwell were chaperones. Arbor lag iExrrriarB On Arbor Day, May 5th, exercises in commemoration of the day were held in the Auditorium. The program was prepared by the officers of the Senior Class, as is usual.

The charter members were chosen partly by the Senior class and partly by Mr. Parker. They are: Harriette Kniffin, Florence Winner, Donald Van Horn, Guy Shoemaker, Judson Hoover, Helena Harrington, Bessie Graves, Louise Barnhart, Stuart Hyde, Leslie Benson, Carl Mowrey, and Harold Copeland. The following Junior officers and students were invited to join, so that they might know how to proceed next year, (the council will be com- posed of Seniors, always): Asaph Hall, Lois Preston, Margaret Winner, James Grady, Dorothy Buckley, Ida MacNeal, Russel Fudge and George Murphy. The President of the Council of T6 is Donald Van Horn, and he fills this position very capably. Louise Barnhart acts as secretary. Although this is but a new organization, many topics of interest to the different classes have been brought up and discussed, while several important things have been done, such as furnishing a rest room, buying a Victrola, etc. It is hoped that this Council has not been formed in vain, and that it will become a stronger factor each year, and have a greater value to the future students of E.

While walking on, a loving pair I met, I soon discovered it was Romeo and Juliet. Next came Othello, and his friend Iago, too, Which brought to mind The Taming of the Shrew. Two Gentlemen from Verona, dressed in their best, Received a sorry drenching, getting caught in The Tempest. They sat down by my fire, hung their clothes upon a nail, And while they were drying, they told of A Winter’s Tale. They stayed until the Twelfth Night, when the storm had ceased its terrors; They made Much Ado About Nothing, which proved A Comedy of Errors. Next came Shylock, demanding flesh for his treasure, When Macbeth cried, Lay on! You shall have Measure for Measure.” The Merry Wives of Windsor entered without fear, Followed by Richard, John, Henry and King Lear.

IF- If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about don’t deal in lies, Or being hated don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same, If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on! ” If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men court with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty second’s worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it, And which is more—you’ll be a man, my son! —T udyard Kipling The days grow shorter, the nights grow longer, The headstones thicken along the way ; And life grows sadder, but love grows stronger, For those who walk with us day by day. But all true things in the world seem truer, And the better things of the earth seem best, And friends are dearer as friends grow fewer, And love is all as our sun dips west.
