 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

 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.

 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
