 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.

 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.

 S?I9I6K? •CANADESAGAN••• MARIETTA L. HANFORD A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” A bright and merry maid is Marietta, who possesses a great deal of musical talent. At pres- ent she is planning to go to Ithaca next fall and en- ter into a deeper study of music. A close friend of Marietta’s tells us that she has a great liking for Fords”, but strange to say, her Ford writes long, interesting letters. RITA RHODES Her eyes were like bits of the sky.” Rita is one of our fair haired lasdes, with large, deep blue eyes. We know of at least one heart that is affected by a glance from those eyes, per- haps fatally. She is not a grind but she deserves credit for her efforts as a student. She is an excel- lent piano player and expects to attend the Ithaca Conservatory of Music next fall, where, her friends say, she cannot fail to make good. LILLIAN CROUNSE A quiet girl, and yet a happy one.” Take a look at this cheerful person, for she is happy in the possession of two things which are rar ely found combined in one person, namely, brains and common sense. She never seems to get dis- couraged nor angry. Really those words have no place in her vocabulary, for her good humor spreads until no one in her vicinity can be anything but happy. Her greatest ambition is to become a coun- try school teacher, but you can’t fool us, Lillian, for we know you must have an especially good reason for that ambition. FRITZ BIRKHOLTZ A fool there was.” Fritz is certainly a nut;” and an original one, at that. He is conspicuous by his foolishness at times, and yet at other times he is so quiet that you don’t know he is around. Miss Carr surely found in him the ideal home-room boy, nicht wahr? Ger- man and Chemistry are his strong points and girls his weak one. He sure loves the girls.
