 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?

 • • 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.

 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?
