 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.

 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.”

 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.
