 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.

 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.

 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
