 • • 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.

 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.

 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?
