DEDICATION To Miss Kathryn A. Carr, our beloved Friend, Teacher, and Patron Saint, as an expression of the high esteem in which she is held and in appreciation for her untiring efforts in our behalf, we, the Annual Board, in behalf of the Senior Class, affectionately dedicate this Book. FOREWORD We hope that this Annual is the best book we could produce; we have tried to make it one of the best ever turned out by any Senior Class. The chief aim of the Editors was to make it not a class chronicle, but a book which would be equally as interesting to the youngest Freshman and to the oldest Alumnus as to any member of the Senior Class. We have tried to avoid all uncomplimentary allusions, so that a Senior can show the Annual to his friends without fear. And now, dear reader, we can but trust in your clemency to forgive the faults and overlook the de- fects. We have done our best and we are content. FACULTY To Mr. Francis R. Parker, our honored and respect- ed principal, for his wise and beneficial guidance during the past four years, we extend our most sincere thanks and may success continue to crown his efforts to bring E. F. A. to the foremost rank among high- schools of this country. ALICE 8. DAVIS HELEN M.HIBBARD FACULTY STATISTICS Name 1 )cgree College Subjects Francis R. Parker A.M. Queens University Principal M.

Unfortunately, no member of the Class of 11)17 kept a diary during his four years of Academy life. Therefore, the histo- rians could not refer to written records, and, as there were no material remains bearing inscriptions to be unearthed, only oral traditions were left as a nucleus for a history. This history might conveniently be divided into four epochs, each relat- ing the happenings of one of the four years—Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. The importance of each succeeding epoch might be considered in geometrical progression. But let us not think that that first year was of no significance, for that was indeed the period when we were initiated into the spirit and customs of high school life; the days of childhood were over. There are a few things that we recall vividly of our Freshman days. What an exciting time it was getting acquainted with the big building! Five minutes between classes seemed equivalent to five seconds to find the class- room where we were due the next period. For instance, to find Miss Yon- mans’ drawing room on leaving Mr. Blanding’s or Miss Callahan’s Biology laboratory, was like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Every teacher or kindly looking upper classman along the hall was a Bureau of Information. Then, too, the older students so completely blocked the halls and strolled along so leisurely that we little ones (in our Buster Brown collars or short dresses) had to slide in and out the little openings in the crowd in a “mad rush” as if going to a fire or to catch a train. Sometimes we felt quite im- portant, but more often terribly insignificant; so it was a sigh of pleasure that we gave when a new Freshman class came to take our place. During the first epochs of our history, we dreamed of becoming promi- nent in school life and included under the title, “Who’s who?” Perhaps we longed to be stars in athletics, to be associated with the Vindex, to be class officers, social heroes, debaters, valedictorian—or perhaps all these. As we passed through the Sophomore and Junior stages, many of us began to have our dreams come true. But, nevertheless, we were what the name Sophomore implies—“wise fools”—and we realized that we could not learn to swim without going into the water. Along with our glory and honor we enjoyed a thousand good times, and during these two years we dared to do things that we never thought of doing while we were Freshmen. Then, too, we more than once proved a nuisance to Miss Taylor by coming to school a few seconds after the locker- rooms had been closed, and bothered the home-room teachers by wanting to monopolize their cupboards for our coats and hats. What were the Erie freight reasons for our tardiness? “Mother away—overslept;’ train;’’ “Clock slow;” and other excusable excuses. As juniors, our organization as a class was followed by a very large masquerade party, which was one of the most successful of the school year. In the Spring we held a Junior picnic at Rorieks Glen. The Senior year has been as it should be, the happiest and pleasantest. On Thanksgiving Eve, 1916, the Seniors gave a brilliant society function in the Masonic Temple. This Senior reception and dance was undoubtedly a fitting introduction to the season’s social activities, which included the George Washington Party and Class Day at Rorieks Glen, it was decided that there could be nothing more fitting for commencement day than to spend the closing hours together at Rorieks, enjoy the matinee and dinner afterward at the restaurant and dancing in the evening. Then there was the presentation of the “Fortune Hunter” and the participation in the annual E. F. A. entertainment, the Arbor day exercises, class day and com- mencement. Again, the Seniors had excellent leaders in various organiza- tions and much of the success of the Vindex, the Annual, the Student Council and the Forum was due to the devoted interest of these leaders. Athletics were enthusiastically supported by the Class of T7 and during the school term, besides the ’varsity teams, class teams were organ- ized and played one against the other. The Seniore basketball team even went to Waverly to play her team. Another new feature in the athletic line was the cross-country run on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving. We almost forgot to mention that our class was the first Senior Class after physical “torture” had been made compulsory in New York State. But let us name a few things in the history of this class which have had connection with the general history of the institution itself. The class was the largest graduating class thus far in the history of the school, and the first to spend its full four years in the new building completed in 1913. In April, 1917, the United States was compelled to enter the World War. The country called for its young men to enlist in the army or the navy, or to engage in agricultural or industrial work. The State Board of Regents offered to give Regents Diplomas to all those that offered their services to our country, providing that their class work had been up to the standard. Many boys took advantage of the offer and Room 17 looked like a “Deserted Village,” even early in May. The financial success of the “Fortune Hunter” made it possible for the Class of 1917 to offer fifty dollars toward the endowment fund for Elmira College. The Academy has always borne a close relationship with Elmira College and the opportunity to do something for her good was welcomed by all the class members. In editing the Annual, the Board of Editors considered it wise to avoid the use of “attractive” write-ups opposite the pictures of class mem- bers; for in later years, when this book is most appreciated, these write-ups would be “detractive” rather than “attractive.” The prevailing spirit of the class was kept democratic and each one joined in doing his part for the class and the school. No world history, or even national history, will ever have a place in our hearts dearer than the history of our Class of 1917 at the Elmira Free Academy. Though we parted in June, 1917, this book will furnish many an hour of pleasant recollections. Perhaps, the greatest lesson we learned during those four years was “Impossible is Un-American.” An aeroplane gliding through the sky, An aviatrix therein Looking downward upon the earth Sees classmates that have been. Busier than in the days of yore When they were at E. F. A., Though Principal Parker they fear no more, They have learned life isn’t all play. A lofty building, a school, appears, And on the teacher’s bench, Our old friend Margaret Winner hears Her pupils reciting French. And now a great mob, crowding ’round A theatre, with threatening looks, For the house is packed and they can’t get in To see the comedian, Harold Brooks. A green stretch of country now catches my gaze, And hoeing his garden, but newly made, 1 see, though the sight sets my mind in a maze, Phil Presler, who liked it so well that he stayed. A new book? Why certainly, we have the latest; The hero loved truly but the villain he took her. Of all recent novels, this one is the greatest— “The Villain’s Revenge,” by Everett Hooker. A big bustling city with a big ten cent store; For clerk, Raymond Cunningham, who always makes noise, He got all he wanted, I guess, and some more, For he bangs around tinware to the joy of small boys. Over our Capitol swiftly we spin, Our senators there have waged a long fight. Taking a peep in, the first thing we see Our friend Hyman Nagler, just, setting them right. t A pulpit afar in a great thriving town, Harry Carey, the preacher, is holding the floor, Telling all sinners they’ll surely go down Unless each day is better than the day before. A noble ship sailing on a storm tossed sea. I hailed the captain to say a word, “Captain Stanley Osborne, sir, that’s me,” He said, “Of my fame you surely have heard.” A Red Cross nurse on a far battle-field, Still on her mission of mercy she moves: Her name’s Clara Farr. Her heart’s beating high With brightest of hopes for the soldier she loves. Though many a year is now swiftly passed Over Time’s ever-fleeting way Con Milliken holds his old job to the last— Editing Year Books at E. F. A. A social worker in a busy town, Helping the needy, day or night, Martha Richford without a frown Labors to make other’s burdens light. Over the White House now we fly, And down to the door we quickly glide, To see Miss President Gladys Cole With her cabinet members by her side. A Sunday school teacher of great renown, For goodness and piety famed afar; Regular always on Sunday nights, Elsie Egbert, our former star. A recluse hidden from the world, No more her laugh makes such a din, You’ll be surprised when you hear her name, It’s unbelievable—Margaret Flynn. A countess, mistress of a castle grand, Upon the banks of the pleasant Rhine; There afar in that foreign land Eleonore Geisser declares “It’s mine.” Last, but not least, comes old Judge Grady, Helping young lawyers on the road to fame, Some say he’s Rockey, some say stone-hearted, But, after all, what’s in a name? I fear we’re having engine trouble, Bang—and it’s all up with us; The aeroplane goes down in a puddle, And our bones are mingling with the dust. Lauretta Riffe, ’17. STEELE MEMORIAL LIBRARY ELMIRA, N.Y. 14901 A SENIOR’S REVERIE Soon we’re leaving E. P. A. Now we’re Seniors, On our fair Commencement Day; Since we’re Seniors. We must face the world’s array, Drive our doubts and fears away, Wage the conflict as we may: All the Seniors. We shall ne’er forget the faces Of our teachers: They have put us through the paces, These dear teachers. We will run life’s varied races, Better fitted to the traces By the firm, yet tender, graces In our teachers. Thus have passed four happy years With our classmates: Years of mingled hopes and fears For our classmates. Now there comes to all our cars Words of parting; and the tears Almost fall as each one hears, ‘ ‘ Good-bye, classmates! ’ ’ No one knows what lies before, In the future, Blindly pass we through the door To the future. But we trust the days of yore Into all our hearts will pour Inspiration, more and more. Through the future. In our actions, great and small, We’ll be faithful Till we reach the Judgment Hall, If we’re faithful, Even though temptations call. Our high standards never fall. This old world deserves our all. When we’re faithful. D. Everett Hooker, ’17. We will tell our love for our dear old E. F. A. We’ll try to tell it in a rather pleasing way A little melody, We all had our Freshman trials, Sophoihores, too, ’Till we got to be Juniors and wisdom knew, But we’re Seniors now! And though we are very proud of that dear name, There’s a little bit of grief in it just the same, It means, dear old school, our farewell to you Still, we leave with thee, our best wishes, kind and true. Chorus Farewell, farewell, 0 our Alma Mater! Dear E. F. A., may your memory stay Forever deep in eacdi heart. Although we soon have to part, But as we sail on life’s sea We’ll think of thee. Dear E. F. A., we will still be faithful, We all turn to thee-through the years to be; Though we soon go away, Still our hearts will ever say, Dear E. F. A.! Dear E. F. A.! Now the dawn of life glows upon our morning sky, As now we turn to bid our school a last good-bye; Farewell, farewell, dear old school! Too oft have discouragements dimmed the past, And we’ve viewed a future with gloom o’ereast. Victory at last! As peace follows battle when our fight is done, Hope will still be leading on ’till our victory is won; And this we have learned from thee, E. F. A., So we sing this song as we start upon our way.

Everett Hooker filled the position of Editor-in-Chief and was ably assisted by Lauretta Riffe, Assistant Editor. Harry Carey and “Bob” Ball rendered great service as representatives of the Senior Class, while Vivian Rockwell and Katherine Blyley capably upheld the honors of the Juniors and Sophomores, respectively. The Exchanges were handled by “Walt” Townsend; “Ray Cunning- ham recorded the Forum events, and Earl Wemple looked after the Athletic events. Marie Schryber, Ezra Havens and Pauline Halliday contributed to the Art Department, and through their efforts the Vind x has become noted for its attractive appearance and interesting cuts. Miss Bailey and Miss Youmans were of the utmost help in their posi- tions as Faculty Advisors to the Literary and Art Departments. The financial success of the year wxas largely due to Harold Brooks, who served as Business Manager. The other workers on his staff were Julian Snyder and Harold Theetge, Associates; Harold Ames, Advertising Manager; Mortimer Sullivan, Circulation Manager; Thomas Espey, Freddie Klebert and George Tomlinson, Class Managers. The efforts of Mr. Nichols were much appreciated in his position of Business Advisor. The Faculty and Senior numbers were the outstanding features, togeth- er with the Girls’ number, which was brim full of “pep” and edited by Lauretta Riffe, with Geraldine Leyden as Business Manager.

Cunningham Serg’t-at-Arms, Walter C Garey Faculty Adviser, Addison L. Hill The Forum Debating Club has just com- pleted another most successful year. Debates were held at nearly every meeting and many excellent speakers developed, as the frequent appearance of various members before the TKCF. ADDISON l. HILL ’ school assembly will testify. Toward the middle of the year, Mr. Wilson, the club’s staunch friend and coach, accepted a position in New York, and so the Forum was com- pelled to seek a new adviser. Mr. Hill was selected adviser to the club and the excellent work of the debating team in the two big debates is a proof of how well he has filled that position. No little credit is due him for his kindly instruction, attention and advice to the club and debating team, for which the Forum and school honor and respect him. Some new features were introduced in the “Forum Life” this year. Several prominent city officials gave excellent talks on city government, which the boys found interesting and instructive. Two mock trials were successfully enacted before the club members which gave several of the budding lawyers an opportunity to show their ability. A public meeting was held in May which gave the students of E. F. A. an opportunity to see the inside workings of the club. A farewell banquet was given to Mr. Wilson by the members of the faculty anti the club early in February. All present wished Mr. Wilson luck and success in his new field of endeavor. Another banquet will be given the members the close of the year. The Forum has grown and is still growing. It now has its full mem- bership of fifty wide-awake American boys. Many of the best and most popular fellows of the school belong to this thriving club. The Forum is popular with the students and teachers and has become a fixed and perma- ment institution in E. F. A. May it continue to prosper in the future as it has in the past. 0' THE DEBATING TEAM The debating team of this year, composed of Thomas Carr, leader. Walter Garey, James Grady and Stanley Roberts, was one of the strongest ever developed in the Academy. We defeated Corning on the Philippine question but were beaten by Binghamton on the Literacy Test problem. But our boys put up an excellent fight in Binghamton and we all feel proud of them. MR. M. L. WILSON We would not consider our class-book com- plete without a tribute to Mr. Wilson, our friend and teacher, who is now in the High School of Commerce in New York City. His sudden and deserved advancement was gratifying to us, although we deplored most sin- cerely the loss of a faithful friend and teacher. Mr. Wilson was the founder and adviser of the Forum and that society felt that it should give him some departing honor, which took the form of a banquet held in the New England Kitchen. After a tempting dinner was served, toasts were given by several of those present in which the departing guest of honor was warned ■ against the Bright Lights of Broadway. The affair ended with the presentation of a leather traveling set to Mr. Wilson. During the Easter vacation, Mr. Wilson returned and a rousing recep- tion proved to him our appreciation of his work among us, and the warm friendliness with which we shall never cease to regard him.

There was but a fair response, but under the able direction of Coach George Brubaker, a fairly successful team was formed. Earl Moore was elected captain and proved to be an excellent leader as well as player. Of last year’s team, O’Connor, Gallavan, Digby, Sullivan, Hoffman and Moore were back in their former places. Curtis, Brown, Ball, Nixon, O’Leary, Presler, Denton, Murphy, Hal,l Mailey, Powell, Fudge and Mitchell made up the rest of the squad and each one played well. Manager Ralph Digby arranged as excellent schedule, several new teams being met. The games were fairly well attended, particularly the Binghamton game, which drew the largest crowd ever present at a football game in Elmira. The results of the games follow : E. F.

The only blot on our record was the Hornell defeat, which team was decisively beaten several weeks later. Binghamton was twice defeated and our claim to the Southern Tier Championship was unchallenged. Every man on the team played well but Captain Williams was the star. The squad was composed of Williams, Digby, J. Snyder, Moore, Howells, Levy and Rader. A great deal of credit is due to Manager Mathew Gallavan for the excellent schedule which he arranged. The excellence of the team may be best judged by the following record: . 25 Haverling ...................19 .31 Binghamton .................28 . 28 Hornell .....................35 . 23 Owego .......................21 .32 Hornell ....................10 .40 Cascadilla .................16 . 28 Corning .....................22 . 30 Hammondsport ................ 8 .46 Binghamton ..................21 180 Total E. F. A. Total Opponents I TRACK The day before Thanksgiving the first annual cross-country run was held. The idea was furnished by Spillan Brothers who offered two beauti- ful cups, which are to be contested for every year. The idea was immedi- ately adopted by other people and seven other prizes were offered. The marathon was run through the streets of this city and was in every way a great success. The big Spillan team trophy was won by the Seniors, while Walter Bosley, a Freshman, captured the Spillan individual cup. Bosley ran a beautiful race, although hard pressed by Patterson. It is hoped that this event will be as successfully carried on in future years. Due to the war conditions the armory could not be obtained this year and so no interclass meet was held. But with an excellent team in view, Captain William Flynn and Manager Benjamin Howells looked forward to an excellent season. But many of the very best men enlisted for farm ser- vice and were thus lost to the team. However, at the time this book went to press, there was much promising material from which to remould the team. It had been expected that men would be taken to Syracuse and Rochester, while attempts were being made to hold several fast dual meets. But later, the various colleges decided to cancel their meets. Thus it came about that our prospects for a most prosperous season were lost and only next year is before us. i v v ©' GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Girls’ Basketball Team for 1916-1917 had a wonderfully successful season, for they did not lose a game, and won nine. Eleanor Ball was manager of the team, and she arranged many fast games. Under the lead- ership of Captain Gertrude Eggert and Coach Brubaker, a championship team was developed. The members of this team were: Olga Sherman, Geraldine Leyden, Mayetta O’Brien, Gladys Collins, Gladys VanAlstyne and Gertrude Eggert, all of whom played very well indeed. The record of the team is as follows: E. F. A 14 Athens 2 E. F. A 7 E. F. A. Alumni 6 E. F. A 9 Horseheads 5 E. F. A 9 Watkins 1 E. F. A 8 Corning Northside . .. 5 E. F. A 18 Athens 3 E. F.

Soon after Congress had declared a state of war existing between the United States and Germany, a call for volunteers was given. Immediately several of the finest and most popular fellows in our school offered their services to their country. Richard Thurston, Burke O’Connor and John Powell enlisted in the mosquito fleet; Stanley Osborne, John McNevin and Harold Hoofer entered the navy; while Stenson Killea joined the Ambulance Corps. The fact that four of these fellows are members of the Class of 1917 gives us special pride. Every teacher and every student in E. F A. is proud of these loyal patriots and wishes them all kinds of success Charles Williams and Harry Carey also enrolled their names on the Roll of Honor. “Charley” is preparing to try the examinations for West Point and Plarry will try for admission to Annapolis. Royal Jewett, a mem- ber of this school a year ago, received an appointment to Annapolis and has been making good there. In a few weeks he will be on one of the battle- ships for three months training, after which he will see service in American or foreign waters. The announcement was made during the latter part of April that students who enrolled as farm cadets would be given Regent’s credit. Im- mediately many of our fellows took positions on farms and are giving their best efforts to increase the food production of our country. The following are the students who enlisted for farm service: Robert Ball, Mark Brei- thaupt, Francis Brown, Walter Bosley, Harold Brooks, Raymond Campbell, Wilson Chapman, Mortimer Collson, Leo Considine, Frank Cusic'k, Ward Dalrymple, Elmer Easton, Norman Fahr, Ordine Ferris, Walter Ferris, David Fidelman, Ward Field, Lawrence Fitch, Donald Fleet, William Flynn, Raymond Freedman, Earl Fridie, Howard Gladke, Charles Greatsinger, E.

CAST AND CHORUS FOR ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT On the evenings of March 29-30, and on the afternoon of March 31, E. F. A.’s Annual Musical Entertainment was given by the stud- ents for the benefit of the High School Athletic Association. The play was the best ever put upon the stage of the Academy Auditorium, and went off with the dash and snap that is characteristic of Mr. O’Brien’s productions. “The Marathon” is a two act piece written by Earl M. Moore. To keep up the interest, there is just a semblance of a plot, woven around an imaginary track meet between the Academy and Endicott. The first act is on the campus of E1. F. A. just before and during the marathon, with throngs of nervous students waiting for the finish of the race. The setting Charles x. o’brien for the second act is the ‘ ‘ gym ’ ’ of the Acad- emy the night following the race. All the leading parts were very well taken. Miss Margaret Fay, as “Peg,” won the hearts of the audience at once, with her winning smiles, grace and sweet voice. Opposite her, Earl Moore, as “Jack,” played the part of a sturdy soldier and athlete. lie displayed unusual ability and ease in his part. The song, “I’m Crazy Over You,” written by Mr. O’Brien, was charmingly rendered by Miss Fay and Mr. Moore, while “Soldier Boys” was an exceptionally appropriate and delightful number. These two songs were without a doubt the “hits” of the show proper. Louis Miller took the part of the rich man who donated the cup for track competition. His rich bass voice was a treat in “It’s Love That Makes the World Go ’Round.” John Levy, Jr., as “Juney” and Dorothy Hammond, as “Dot,” played well together and were enjoyed in the musical number, “I Love You With My Whole Heart and Soul.” “Charley” Williams, as the “Coach,” Walter L. Bosley, as “Red Wilcox,” and Alden Baxter, as a miscellaneous character, “Miss Coe Birch,” all displayed ability. The other characters in the cast were taken by William McCann, “Cheer Leader;” Martha Richford, “Girls’ Leader;” Norma Hobart, Olga Sherman, and Winfield Patterson. The members of the chorus were as follows: The Red Cross Girls—Juanita Scranton, Mildred Houck, Ruth Frutchy, Helen Butler, Grace Jessen, Vola Mitchell, Kathryn Grotty. The Soldiers—Herman Leupelt, Gerald Pierce, Charles Mitchell, George Mathews, Gerald Hartnett, Ralph Sutter, Joseph Crotty, Paul O’Leary, LeRoy Mc'Caslin, Percy Snyder.

Ada Olmstead and Kenneth Marks showed much talent in their violin selections, “Hungarian Dance,” and “Poor Butterfly.” “Mother Goose” was partic- ularly delightful. “Hy” Nagler and “Joe” Lovitch, as the end men, were great. Thomas Carr delivered a patriotic address, while Percy Sny- der’s baritone voice was heard at its best in Mr. O’Brien’s “Every Eve at Twilight. ’ ’ Without a doubt, the credit for the success of the play is due to Mr. O’Brien, as his songs, his faithful and never-ceasing work as coach and, particularly, as musical director, made the play possible. Great credit is due, also, to Earl Moore, who wrote and managed the production. : S £ m a CHARLES X.

Its success was largely due to Miss Josephine Bailey, whose faithful effort and skillful coaching made the rendering of such a play possible. The plot centers around “Nat” Duncan, a young New Yorker, who cannot keep a job. He decides to take the advice of his friend, Henry Kellogg, and seek out a country millionaire’s daughter for a wife. With this in view he goes to Radville, obtains work and follows a number of rules given him by his friend, such as attending church regularly and “following the straight and narrow path,” in general. The millionaire’s daughter falls in love with him and proposes. But Nat no longer needs her money and has himself fallen in love with the druggist’s daughter, Betty. However, the engagement is broken off by the girl herself, who believes a false accusation madcf against him. When the rising financier, Kellogg, visits Nat, he finds him a successful business man, and also engaged to Betty Graham. Alden Baxter as “Nat” Duncan, the fortune hunter, played his part exceedingly well. Mark Breithaupt, as Henry Kellogg, Nat’s chum, was a clever schemer. Stanley Roberts is deserving of much praise for his impersonation of Sam Graham, the druggist, as is also Lorion Campbell, who appeared as “Betty,” his daughter. James Grady as “Lockwood” the banker, did very well, and Virginia Pettis played the most difficult part of “Josie” his daughter, with marked success. Mayetta O’Brien as “An- gie,” Josie’s friend, was also good, making a great hit in the last act. Enough cannot be said of Phillip Pressler as “Pete” Willing, and Harold Brooks as Tracey Tanner, the liveryman’s son. These two were certainly the hit of the show. Louis Miller as George Burnham, a promoter, Harry Carey as “Robbins,” Kellogg’s butler, Raymond Cunningham as “Tom,” a newsboy, Norman Lawrence as Roland Barnett, the country dude, Verner Vite as Mr. Sperry, the drummer and Robert Ball as Watty the old inhab- itant of the village, did very well indeed, and deserve much praise. The Academy orchestra played several fine overtures, while Louis Miller and Louise Herrick delighted the audience with their solos between the acts. Between acts three and four Philip Presler and Harold Brooks brought the house down by their antics before the curtain and were encored several times. The business end of the play was handled by Walter Garey. MISS JOSEPHINE BAILEY On Thanskiging Eve, November 29, 1916, the Senior Reception of the Class of Nineteen-Seventeen was held in the Masonic Temple and it was the most successful one ever given in the history of E. F. A. The guests were received by our Class President, William Roosa, our Patron Saint, Miss Carr, and Miss Hopkins, Miss Bailey, Miss Tashjian, Miss Coe, Miss Hibbard, Miss Birchard and Miss Calkins of the Faculty. Following the reception was the grand march which was led by the President and the Patron Saint. The stage was banked with palms and evergreens which formed a. screen for Dale’s Orchestra. Over the stage, in a conspicuous position, was hung the large 1917 banner in purple and gold. During the evening, excellent punch and wafers were served. The committee in charge of the reception was: Asaph B. Hall, Chair- man; Margaret Winner, Crete Fell, Thomas Carr, Harriet Swarts, Eleonore Geisser, Gerald Hartnett, Susan Logue and Russell Fudge. SENIOR DAY It is to be regretted that this book must go to press before Senior Day at Roricks. The following committees have been appointed to take charge of affairs. Supper Committee: Margaret Fay, Chairman; Helen Maloney, Elsie Egbert, Lena Crandall, Harry Carey, George Murphy, Strang Curtis, and Louis Chely. Business Committee: Elmer Dean, chairman; Lucile Ryon, Harold Iioutledge, Florence Sanders, Marie Catlin, and Clara Farr. Cheer Committee: Walter Garey, Chairman; Geraldine Leyden, Mary C. Mitchell, Anna Barker, Carolyn Witt, John Denton, and Edward Hoflman. Invitation Committee: Elsie Egbert, Chairman; Ellen Devlin, Ruth Mae- Farland, and Alta Atwater. The Seniors will go up to Roricks after Com- mencement on June 27th and will attend the matinee. Afterwards, a deli- cious repast will be served in the Glen restaurant. Great plans are being made and a good time is promised to all. MYSTERIOUS There is a great surprise in store for the members of the Senior Class, but, as those in charge refuse to divulge the nature of the surprise we can only say—Stop! Look! Listen! February 22, we entertained the Faculty at a Washington Birthday Party. Dancing was enjoyed in the upper corridor, the music being fur- nished by the school Yictrolai, A delicious supper was served in the gym at seven o ’clock. The supper table was in the form of 17. Two interesting features were the typed programs, and the place cards at each guest’s place. Everett Hooker acted very capably as toastmaster and the following responded to toasts: Miss Carr, Harold Brooks, William Wigsten and Mortimer Collson, Eleonore Geisser, Mr. Cady, Asaph Hall, William Roosa and Richard Turner. During the supper a messenger boy appeared with a message for Mr. Brubaker ordering him to report at once at the Philadelphia Navy Yards and to await further orders. Mr. Brubaker was quite overcome but as it was only a joke he soon recovered. The scrap-iron quartet” gave several choice selections during the supper. j. : ■ ■ : ; After supper dancing was enjoyed in the gym and in the upper corri- dor. In the gym Lucille Ryon, Gladys Cole, Richard Thurston and James Grady played for the dancing. The Vietrola again furnished the music in the upper corridor. The success of this party was due to the following committees: Chairman, Norman Lawrence. William Wigsten, James Grady, Francis Brown, Ralph Sutter and Winfield Patterson1 Refreshment Committee: Chairman, Alida Wilbur; Margaret Flynn, Ruth Albertson, Lena Lehman, Gladys Cole and Martha Richford. ARBOR DAY In commemoration of the custom that has been in vogue tor many years, the Seniors were in charge of the Arbor Day exercises, held in the Auditorium on April 27. The Seniors marched in a body. William Roosa, our President, presided over the Assembly. Mr. Rufus Stanley, Everett Hooker and Stanley Roberts, gave speeches in keeping with the day. Instead of the customary tree, a bed of gladioli was planted in front of the building to aid in the work of making Chemung the gladdest” county in New York State. STUDENT COUNCIL THE STUDENT COUNCIL In 1917 the Student Council in Elmira Academy was still a compara- tively new organization. Indeed, there were only one or two other instanc- es of its use in high schools. It had had its sway in colleges and universi- ties, where it formed an important link between the student body and the faculty. Our Student Council had the same purpose. It was a select rep- resentative body of the school in general. Questions confronting the student body were presented through the Council to the Principal for his consideration, advice or execution. The idea of a Student Council for E. F. A. was originated by our Prin- cipal. It was organized February 25, 1916, the charter members consisting of t'he officers of the Senior Class of 1916 and eight others selected by Mr. Parker. Under the leadership of Donald YaiiHorn, the Council proved itself worthy of a place in our school. The Student Council of 1917 consisted of twenty-two members. Those representing the Senior Class were Asaph B. Hall, Margaret Winner, Wil- liam C. Roosa, Gladys Cole, Martha Richford, James Grady, Louise Herrick and Elizabeth VanDyne. The Juniors were represented by Chester Howell, Josephine Bentley, Harold Probes, Elizabeth Chapman and Cornelius Don- ahue; the Sophomores by Mortimer Sullivan, Katherine Blyley and Marion West; the Freshmen by Arthur McMahon and Gladys Brooks. Athletics, Earl Moore and Geraldine Leyden; the Orchestra, Elizabeth Flynn; and the Yindex, Everett Hooker. An executive committee composed of Asaph Hall, Margaret Winner, Josephine Bentley, and James Grady, saw that all legislative measures were presented to the Principal for execution. The Council performed excellent services to the school. It formed a real back-bone for school spirit and school democracy. At the time of the Elmira-Binghamton football game, the Student Council organized a parade, which, with the students’ help and co-operation proved a great success. When the basket hall season came the Council again did its share to arouse enthusiasm. It was suggested to Mr. Parker that an informal dance after the games would tend to eliminate undemo- cratic feelings; and Mr. Parker agreed. A petition was presented to the Board of Education, requesting that the control of the gymnasium be placed under the authority of the Prin- cipal and the Student Council. It had always been necessary to secure the Board’s permission for its use. A resolution was unanimously passed, favoring the plan of supervised study, which was adopted in part beginning with the second semester. A privilege secured to the students was the use of the gymnasium on Saturday mornings during the winter months to play basket ball. The last things considered by the Council were to secure a rest room for the use of students and the privilege of single sessions beginning May first and continuing until the close of school. It would be impossible to over-estimate the services of the Student Council to the school; and, undoubtedly, every member will always be proud of his “S. C. ’17” pin presented by Mr. Parker, whose interests are devoted to the making of an ideal American school. mmmmm Woull y Wmm 8 TO rresl tCs and Winner of tfn? fi rot Marat A cn V, fn CL tSmJ rx II T « £«$ % ■ ' '! ‘ ' ' ' Rorick’S €1� I) 1 ■m a 1 IfR 1Sbb « «§ DANCINGs | SUMMER PAVILION OPERA The most polite dancing i n E I m i t a j A full season of high royalty every Summer evening. : : j productions | Evening Tickets or I Another all star I the “jitney dance” ] cast rn jm FOR A DELIGHTFUL OUTING Visit Watkins Glen SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY EIGHT COLLEGES.

Mcllhenny, the President of the Civil Service Commission, Washington, in writing to B. C.
