She is always on hand and can generally be found dashing frantically upstairs in an effort to get in before Miss Hib- bard starts her morning solo on the bell. Irva originally came from Wellsburg and we are glad she decided to join us. RUTH ALLEN ‘ ‘ It’s the little things in life that count.’ ’ Yes, Ruth is little and sweet and has lovely hair. She reminds us of our favorite movie star. Music is one of her chief interests and her chosen field of work. Another chief inter- est is ---. But you can guess who. Ruth’s virtues are her abstinence from giggling and flirtation. She is altogether a very enjoyable companion. If you are blue, just walk a block with Ruth tucked under your arm. That is far enough to be sympathized with and find your- self laughing and wishing you might go blocks farther. Senior Reception Committee HELENA M. BARNES “A little work, a little play, Is my idea of life. ” Here is Helena, to whom we are positively certain that great success is coming some day. She is quiet and unpretentious with all the qualities which every practical young woman should have, but oh, only a few of her most intimate friends know what a lot of fun lies underneath such a calm and serene exterior. There is a tall young chap with literary ten- dencies who knows a lot more about Helena, but we won’t bother him with questions. We know that we like her and are glad that she is one of us. Military Party, Senior Reception, Cabaret Committees “Blue and White” Board A. CLINTON BOARDMAN “He was very wise, and he shared his wisdom with others.” Clinton, from the early days when he wore short trousers, has always been a scholar. He always studied his lessons, even when those around him were merely studying at theirs. Whenever a weighty question comes up, it is not settled until Clinton has grappled with it at least ten minutes. He is what we are pleased to call a uniformly good student. RONALD BREESE ‘ 1 As well be out of the world as out of style. ’9 Ronald has a sunny disposition and is a favorite with all who know him. He has one weakness—ladies. Without them life would be a hollow dream. Dancing is his favorite sport, summer and winter. We can not locate the center of his affections as he shows no partial- ity. In addition, he has the honor of being the first member of the Class of ’18 to put his name on the Honor Roll in the current year. 1 I LUE —WI 11 n 71 c FRANCES C. BEEBE ‘ ‘ Her eyes flash Medea’s eloquence. ’ ’ Is this a whirlwind or a hail storm descend- ing upon us? No! It’s Beebe racing down the hall. ‘ ‘ Cug ’ ’ is one of the most talented and enthusiastic girls in the class. She has dis- played her talent in the school orchestra for three years, and she shows her enthusiasm in everything she does from dancing to work- ing on committees. She is a mighty good friend to have and we wish we had more like her. President of Orchestra Senior Vaudeville Cabaret Party, Military Party, Cast Party Committees JOSEPHINE C. V. W. BENTLEY “0, come here and be comforting. ’ ’ That is Jo! Always rushed to death and always getting out of an ‘awful scrape,” She is famed for her clever writing, her work on the Vindex, her love for the ‘ ‘ Star-Gazette ’ ’ and her fondness for Cornell—also her good looks. We predict that she will be either a newspaper writer, a famous author and poetess, or a doctor’s wife. Secretary of Student Council Ass’t Editor Vindex Senior Vaudeville MOLLIE BLOSTEIN ‘ ‘ A light heart lives long.’ 9 Molly laughs and giggles. She likes to whisper when she shouldn’t but just has to have fun. Molly’s voice is very pleasing and we shall miss it when she leaves us for the Bal- timore doctor. She seems very popular with the teachers, for you hear often, “I wonder where Miss Blostein went?” or.”Miss Blostein, wouldn’t you like the front seat?” Senior Entertainment HAROLD L. BROOKS “Oh, I’m the same guy that graduated last year. ’ ’ “Brooksv,” the school’s comedian, has a good story to tell every time you see him. If you get the ‘ ‘ blues ’ ’ go see ‘ ‘ Brooksv ” and he’ll drive them away with his jokes. But don’t think he never is serious. You should see him down at the Armory drilling the “booby” squad, and you’d never think that the serious military-looking man is our young comedian. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Class Play Senior Party JOHN BURR ‘ ‘ My school work and business make me hurry, But it will soon be over, so I won’t worry.” John Burr is one of the best examples of likeable fellows we can name. Did you ever see John “riled?” Such occasions are rarer than daffodils on the Sahara desert. In fact, those who know him could be pardoned if they should claim that John’s temper cannot pos- sibly be aroused. He will offset all your efforts with a smooth, disarming laugh, and you fall back powerless. Vaudeville Entertainment “Blue and White” Board I I LITE—WI II 3 r'E MADELINE BOAK “What are you making, my pretty maid?” “A sock for a soldier, sir,” she said. Was there ever a girl more industrious than “Monty?” Surely we can never forget her sitting in class serenely knitting, knitting—the click of her needles lulling us to sleep often times in 4th English. And “Monty” has other diversions besides making socks and sweaters. They are opera singing, measles, and a certain young—but we won’t tell. “Blue and White” Board Class Song Senior Entertainment MARCIA BOWER “She beareth her sorrow nobly.” It really is a shame that there is such a distance between Elmira and Ithaca. Marcia conceals her longings under that cheerful smile. She never seems to worry about any- thing and is always ready to help you out by holding wool or lending a pencil or her brains, or ’most anything. Her great and everlasting liking for co-education, will take her to Cor- nell next year. Good luck, Marcia. Senior Reception, Senior Party Committee HELEN BUTLER “Knit! for the bell will ring in a minute.” This girl endlessly makes socks—mighty nice ones, too. We know for we’ve watched her all year. She is famed for her good looks and her socks. And you should have seen her in the Vaudeville Show. She was the cutest little coon. We breathlessly watch her manage four needles and gaze in admiration at her charms— and like her a lot. Committee for Senior Vaudeville Vaudeville Entertainment HENRY CONSIDINE ‘1 Hail to the man from the country. ’ ’ Henry left us in January having obtained the necessary 72 counts. Now he is working in the Morrow plant helping Uncle Sam beat the Hun. In September he expects to go to Carne- gie or Rensselaer, where he will take up elec- trical engineering. Henry was with us when we were in math, or science class, but never when it w'as a language. Our best wishes are with you in your future, Henry. LEO CONSIDINE “A man of rare ability.” No one girl has succeeded in completely capturing Leo, though several have tried. He is a good student and is especially fond of mathematics and drawing. The latter is his hobby. He is studying to become an architect and some day we shall hear of him as the designer of famous buildings. You have only to look at the cover of this book to see what talent he has and how liberal he is with it. “Blue and White” Board Cabaret Party Committee Track Team B L HK VH ITUI RUTH E. CARPENTER “Of stately and dignified bearing.” You just ought to see Ruth going down the hall. With her pensive air and look of great intelligence, you wonder who the young prodigy is. But just follow her until she meets some of her numerous friends and hear her giggle. She’s a mighty popular girl, who has a good time wherever she goes. She hopes to become a nurse—won’t she make a peach? Senior Party Girl’s Number Vindex ELISBETH C. CARR ‘ She is pretty to walk with, witty to talk with. ’ ’ That surely describes Betty! 1 ‘ Isn’t she the cutest thing!” (heard ’most any time) ‘1 and she has such a lot of pep. ’ ’ There is never a dead party when she is present. She is noted particularly for her good looks, green sweater, originality and her association with people in high circles (especially presidents.) Orchestra Chairman Senior Reception Military Party Committee Vindex ELIZABETH J. CHAPMAN “A girl whom the Gods hath blessed.” That characterizes “Betty” exactly, who is always full of ambition, enthusiasm, and good will towards all. Whatever would our class do without her? Goodness knows! She has such a lot of (1 pep, ’ ’ and besides such a lot of common sense, that it would take reams of paper to make her write-up complete; in short—she’s a peach. “ Blue and White” Board Vice-President Student Council Cabaret Party Committee Pin and Announcement Committee WILLIAM BOYD CRAIG “Now, in Peabody High------.” Boyd, although only a half-year with us, has many friends. Ever since he became ac- quainted with the weaker sex, he has admitted that the girls were better here than at Peabody High. Which girl occupies the largest space in his hca t we have not been able to find out. In fact, we have never seen him with the same girl twice. Perhaps lie is trying to crowd them all into his heart. Forum Class Play CORNELIUS DONAHUE “Docs anybody want to wrestle with me?” “Mike” is one of the most popular students of E. F. A. His many duties have kept ‘1 our young hero” pretty busy this term. But, nev- ertheless, he can find time to take out a certain little girl, whose picture is on page -- of this book. For recreation, “Mike” has taken up the gentle art of wrestling, but we advise against. He doesn’t look fierce enough. (Hint—How to look fierce: don’t smile all the time, but scowl.) Student Council Football Team Forum Vaudeville Entertainment I 3 LUE —WH1 1 n 3 MARGARET CLARK 1 ‘ True as steel, sincere and independent. ’ ’ Margaret is just that. She is what we call a dandy sort of girl and, too, she is a good student. If you ever need a little help with a lesson (and who doesn’t1?) Margaret is always the one to go to. She is planning to go to Rochester next year to be a dentist’s assistant, and our heartiest wishes for her success go with her. ELIZABETH C. CLARK “And a merry maid was she.” This young lady appears to be a calm, quiet, dignified person, but this time appear- ances are deceiving, for we find she is quite a ‘1 clip. ’ ’ Elizabeth is very fond of chocolate bars and also likes to receive letters from a certain person in Spartanburg and we under- stand that she sends quite a few to that place. Elizabeth likes school too well to leave and she is coming back next year to “fair E. F. A.” as a “P. G.” GLADYS M. COLLINS “ She plays basketball. ’ ’ Gladys is one of our star basketball players and the team will miss her next year, for she has won many a game for E. F. A. by her fine playing. She is noted for an injured arm (from playing basketball) and a chee”ful grin. Her favorite (?) subject, we understand, is chemistry on Lab. days. Girl’s Basketball Team LAWRENCE DUGGAN “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. ’ ’ Perhaps Lawrence agrees with Shakespeare for he is rathe” quiet when in the presence of the fair sex. His physics lessons are always well prepared. Guess why? No, though he is a good student. Ah, that’s it! He is in- spired by another reason who is, by the way, rather good-looking. ELMER EASTON ‘ 1 I am here, but few know it. ’ ’ Elmer came to us from the good old gram- mar school nine. He has been a faithful fel- low and surprised us with his energy. As for his liking the fair sex, we believe he has not fallen to their charm. He is lucky in this re- spect, for they are hard on one’s pocketbook. So here’s the best of luck to him in the future and may he have success in his ventures. I I I i 11E W I] i a URSULA COLVIN ‘ ‘ Conspicuous for her absence-.’ 9 Ursula bobs up serenely among us every little while, just to show that she is still en- rolled at E. F. A. and then disappears. With her wit and funny sayings she is missed during her ‘ ‘ breathing spells. ’9 She steadfastly re- fuses to tell what she intends to do next year, in spite of our tearful pleas, but we do know that wherever she goes, she will still be calling for “Jeff.” NELLIE CONNELLY “Quips and cranks and wanton wiles, Nods and becks and wreathed smiles” There is one thing that Nellie has an abundant supply of and that is—good humor. Did you ever see her when she wasn’t smiling and talkingf She is the greatest chatterer Room 16 possesses. But don’t think we mean that Nellie is frivolous; indeed, no! She is taking a commercial course, and expects to enter the business world. We wish her the greatest success in her line of work. IDA E. COTTON “A gi’ l full of energy and talent.” ‘ ‘ All hail, Diddle! 9 9 Who has not marched into Assembly or danced to her music? She is one of the most enthusiastic and energetic girls of ’18—a live wire in the Student Council (it was she who was in charge of sending Christmas boxes to E. F. A. soldiers and sail- ors), and a hard worker in the orchestra. ‘ Diddle9 9 is noted for a bright-hued scarf and a stylish appearance. We are sure she will be most successful in her musical career. Student Council Orchestra Vindex SAMUEL C. FALLATTA “From the shores of Italy fair.” Sam, a genial fellow, hails from the distant Mediterranean. He is now a true American, though he shows several characteristics ot his ancestors. Among these are his polite, quiet manner and sunny smile. He is a worker. From day break to dark he is busy. Such a schedule must bring success. SAMUEL FIDELMAN 1‘ Our Chauffeur.9 9 “Sam” is an old customer. He is noted for his love of fun and broad smile—or grin. He is the center of action and attraction in any class, and farthest from the center of learning. His time outside of school, which is most of his time, is taken up with automobiles. Some day he will be a champion race driver. IB 11 Tin WHITE HELEN C. DEMPSEY “She delighteth in great battles and awful names. ” The one thing you hear particularly about Helen is, “She’s an awful shark in history. I guess she knows as much as Miss Rockwell.” She takes positive pleasure in reeling off dates, and such things, which usually depart from the average mind. We predict a famous history teacher in our midst. MARJORIE B. ELDREDGE “Hey, Mr. Jesse—Have you anything for me?” Bill just decided to join us in January, but we are mighty glad she did. She never seems to be in a hurry and seldom loses her dignified bearing. You ought to see her chase the post- man some morning. The poor man surrenders without a murmur, and hands over six or eight letters—‘ ‘ The mail that girl gets is somethin ’ fierce.” That just shows how popular she is. MILDRED EPSTEIN “I have labored and with no little study.” The above certainly is true, but just con- sider the results. There seems to be nothing that she doesn’t know. Her recitations in Vergil are an education in themselves, and a joy to Miss Tashjian’s soul after hearing the rest of us stumble around. She is a poetess of note (see class song) and is perfectly sure of grabbing ten or twelve honors. But the best thing about Mildred is that all her fame as a brilliant student hasn’t spoiled her at all. Here’s to her! Class Song Committee JOHN W. FINLAY “A look of wisdom supernatural enthroning his lofty brow.” Who can say what great deeds our Editor- in-Chief will some day accomplish? We should like to see him directing scores of men in some great engineering feat, or perhaps as a famous inventor, but—lately we have had cause to wonder and worry a trifle. Can it be possible that “our John” has determined to be a farm- er? Certainly he has shown great interest in “Barnes.” However, we are confident that whatever he undertakes is worth while, so— good luck, John! Editor-in-Chief “Blue and White” Senior Reception Committee Senior Vaudeville Entertainment SIDNEY D. FRIEDMAN “Better late than never.” Of course you know what is meant. Let it suffice to say that the lobby in Room 17 is patronized by Sidney much more than his locker is. 11 Sid ’ ’ has another distinction—he is a real humorist. Those remarks he makes when he ought not to are the real thing. He can pass tests, sell shoes and occasionally get here at 8:55. Captain of Class Baseball Team B T i TTF! VHTTE RUTH FISH “She must talk, or she will die—.” You can always hear Ruth long before she hails in view. She talks faster than anyone else in the class (with a few exceptions). But just scan her report card sometime and gaze in silent admiration at the 90’s. She’s the shark variety of Fish (how could any one be so cruel!) and will certainly accomplish some- thing worth while. FRANCES FITZGERALD “Don’t view me with a critic’s eye, But pass my imperfections by.” Thus pleads Frances, who has spent her four years in E. F. A. most profitably and in- dustriously, but who modestly declares that she has done nothing. Frances is happy in the possession of two things, namely, brains and common sense. We prophesy a brilliant future for her. GRACE GILE “When joy and duty clash— Let duty go to smash.” Well, here’s Grace. Books and lessons are as nothing in her carefree life, but she does excel when it comes to having a good time. Did you see her in the Senior Play? Yes, we think so, too. Just great! Grace is mighty popular with the girls and boys, and we’ll miss her dreadfully if she carries out her threat of leaving this fair city next year. Senior Vaudeville Class Play CAROLUS GETCHELL “Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look.” Bashful? Maybe, but that will never stop “Getch” from becoming a successful business man some day. He is very, very quiet and doesn’t talk much—but when he does everyone else has to keep still. He is also athletic, and has come to fame for his track work. And now, just a little secret—he has a crush, too! We won’t tell who she is, but you can just bet that she is a peach and we wish “Getch” much good luck. Manager of Track Athletic Council Senior Reception Committee “Blue and White” Board GEORGE A. GOOD “In our mind this saying we should keep: The still river often runneth deep.” If you have seen a quiet, good looking fel- low walking about the halls, not saying much but imparting an air of wide knowledge, that fellow probably was George Good. George’s home room is on the first floor, so we do not see him very often. But we do know that his last name fits him better than it would some of the other Senior boys. nunc—whttu LAURA GORDON “Be content, and you shall prosper.” Laura is noted for many things, but mostly for her complexion, about which she is not the lease bit conceited. And another thing, Laura is no grumbler, everything is cheerfully done to the best of her ability. Her policy is, ‘ ‘ Do your best and then don’t worry.” Wouldn’t it have been fine if wre all had had such a motto ? Our teachers would have been charmed and with bitter regrets would watch the Class of ’18 go. As it is, we imagine they will all be smiling happily. FLORENCE GOWIN ‘1 Speak not, lest ye be heard. ’ ’ We have never really heard Florence talk since we’ve known her, except occasionally in Vergil. She seems to be afraid of telling her heart’s secrets. But in spite of her silence there are rumors creeping around about Big Flats. Florence expects to go to Syracuse next year. We wonder why she picked a Co- ed university. ANNA E. HAMMOND ‘ ‘ Tell me a thing she cannot dress, Soups, hashes, pickles, puddings, pies, Naught comes amiss, she is so wise.” Although Anna lives at some distance from the school, she is almost always one of the first ones there. In fact, she is ‘1 one of the first ’ ’ in almost everything she does. Domes- tic science is one of her favorite subjects and also household chemistry—we wonder why! AUSTIN HASSETT 11 Business before Pleasure. ’ ’ If you see a handsome young man rushing about the halls, that’s “Auzy. ” Working on the committees, making the Senior Play a finan- cial success, and looking after his other duties, requires a great deal of energy and pep such as only “Auzy” possesses. He is also an en- thusiastic Forum member. In September, “Auzy” intends to enter Holy Cross College Lawr School, and we all wish him the best success. Vaudeville Student Council Business Manager Class Play CHESTER E. HOWELL, JR. “Will the meeting please come to order! ” How often those words came from 1‘ Chet’s ’ ’ mouth! Acting as president of this class for the last two years gave “Chet” numerous chances to speak this. Besides running the class, “Chet” is working hard in converting sad down-hearted feTows into lively, smiling ones down at the Life Club. When he is not busy, this business-like young man is seen with ---- (for further details see pages of this book). President Senior Class Student Council SARA HANFORD ‘ ‘ Small in stature only.7 7 Of course we all know ‘ ‘ Sally. ’7 She doesn’t need any introduction. She is the girl who always comes in with the first arbutus in the Spring. As to her accomplishments, they are innumerable: she makes an excellent substi- tute teacher in Spanish class, plays a banjo, and knits (yes, she really spent six weeks knit- ting a sweater) . Sally is noted also for her lack of size, but she doesn’t have to grow tall as she lives on the top of East Hill. Here’s to her success in whatever she does. HELEN M. HARRISON ‘ ‘ Who would think it! ” Yes, who would? To look at this girl, who would think that she was the cause of many deadly (?) battles and near duels! Oh! but she has pretty pink cheeks and dark hair! She is secretary of this far-famed class and is a mighty good one, too. Aside from her regular work, she gets her lessons in a truly marvelous manner as her report card testifies. She wants to run a tea room and we know she’ll never lack for patrons if she ’ll just smile at the i a little Senior Assembly Committee Student Council Secretary of Class Pin and Invitation Committee GEORGE KETCHAM ‘‘Don’t you wish you had a figure like mine —so military! ’ ’ George—we beg your pardon,—Sergeant George Ketcham is a military man, and the way he is advancing, he’ll soon command our troops “over there.” Perhaps George can’t tell you what makes the world go around, but if you don’t know what ‘ ‘ platoon right by squads” is, ask him. But when you approach him salute, or to the guard house for you. We salute you, General-to-be George Ketchem of U. S. A. IRMA HITCHCOCK “Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil 0 ’er books consumed the midnight oil ? ” Irma’s chief characteristics are a happy smile and perfect lessons. Her favorite pas- times are gilggling and Vergil, both of which she does to perfection. We think that her aim is to be a Latin teacher, as we have often observed her deep interest in one of E. F. A.’s most learned expounders of that language. EDGAR KROWL ‘ ‘ Content is the true riches. ’ ’ If you see a fellow with a mail-pouch whiz by at about sixty miles per hour—more or less —you may know that it is Ed. Around school he has a very retiring manner. He was a member of the football team and a consistent player. We know nothing “bad” about him. Football Team I I LTJE—WI II 1 I 3 BLUE—WHITE GERALDINE L. HOLLAND ‘ 1 Happiness is no more than the faculty for being surprised.” If this is true, we really envy “ Gerry, ” who says often, “Life is so exciting!” And although we are slighted because she always yells for ‘ ‘ Bingo,’ ’ we 11 forgive her that. There doesn’t need to be single session to make Gerry exclaim at every bell, ‘ Oh, I’m so hungry! ’ ’ Gerry quite avoids 11 shark, ’ ’ whom she calls ‘1 Minnie Smellies ’’ and finds quite enough romance in the movies to suit her. MYRTLE MAE IIUGG ‘1 What ’s in a name ? ’ ’ Myrtle is what is officially known as a peach! With her ever-present smile, she’s always ready to help you out of a scrape and to lend her sympathy and brains in any crisis. A comedienne of note (didn’t you see the Senior Play?), a good student, and a true friend, Myrtle has certainly made a place among us and we all wish her the best of success. Color and Motto Committee Senior Class Play KATHERINE HUGHES 11 Laugh and the world laughs with you. ’ ’ It is mighty seldom that you see Katherine when she isn’t smiling and showing those wonderful dimples. By the way, those dimples make all the girls green with envy. We all wish we had black hair and rosy cheeks and especially dimples, like she has. She is one of the family of “good looking Hughes,” and E. P. A. is extremely fortunate in always hav- ing at least one member of this wonderful family. Senior Vaudeville Banner Committee JOHN LIDDY ’ ’ ’T ’is good will makes intelligence. ’ ’ John is a studious student and there are but few who can exhibit better report cards. He takes to his studies as the proverbial duck to water. A hard lesson holds no horrors for him. Do not infer, however, that he has time for nothing but his studies. John was active in class athletics and it is reported that he always opens his paper to the sporting page. Chairman Color and Motto Committee Class Basketball Forum WILLIAM LUTZ (1 Every inch a man. ’ ’ 11 Bill ’ ’ came to us from Syracuse last year and has proved himself a live one. He saw the “light” in the first of the year, and learned to dance. As for his liking the girls, well, watch in the library the second half of the third period. Beware, if you start to talk about autos, if you knock the 11 Overland. ’ ’ Here’s good luck to you, Bill, in Boston Tech. Don’t forget, sin2x _pcos8x=l Forum Senior Reception Committee “Blue and White” Board B T i TTE ° VHTTT] FRANCES G. JAMES 1 ‘ A quiet girl, yet a charming one. ’’ Frances is a girl with a wonderful voice. She is very talented and we predict that she will some day become a great singer. But Frances is not only talented in a musical way, for we understand she is quite a ‘ ‘ shark. ’ ’ Here’s hoping she has a most successful future. MARGARET JAMES “Fair, steadfast and demure.” Unfortunately this picture does not show the glorious color of Margaret’s hair. We are crazy about it. But then there are other nice things about her that are not shown in a pic- ture—her accomplishments. For she is a fine cook and a good housekeeper, too, we hear. In fact, there is hardly anything Margaret cannot do. GERALDINE JARVIS ‘A modest, becoming kind of a girl. ’ ’ That quotation just fits Geraldine. Also she has the reputation of beinig always on time and never absent, which is quite a wonder- ful reputation to have in Room 16. And—oh, yes, we understand that she likes to play the Victrola—especially in Chemistry. michael McDonald 11 Mathematics is the mind’s recreation. ’ ’ Mike is best known by his curly hair and unusual ability along the mathematical line. Mathematics is his hobby. He revels in hard problems. After school he carries mail for Uncle Sam. As a football player, also, he won distinction, adding much strength to the line by his steady playing. He is a “peach.” (A girl told us that.) Football Team VICTOR L. MASON ‘ ‘ To the victor belongs the spoils. ’ ’ We don’t mean by this that Victor is always in the midst of hostilities among his friends, for he is one of the quietest young men in our class. There is no doubt that he is a good sport with lots of pep when he needs it. “Vic” knows how to keep his teachers’ good will and has his lessons, more or less. I ILTJE—WHI E MARGARET JENSON “Giggle and your friends gig’gle with you.” We don’t think Margaret will ever really grow up. We aren’t sure that we want her to. Think how we would miss hearing her perpet- ual giggle and seeing her tearing through the halls. While one really might take her for a freshman, still, wre all know that she’s supposed to be a dignified Senior. HELENA J ESSEN ‘ ‘ Learning by study must be won. ’, That’s a dreadfully true statement. We know by sad experience, but Helena’s experi- ences in that line aren’t sad at all. She is one of the hopes of the class, one of our prod- igies. She wants to be a librarian, too. Would- n’t she make a nice one? And do you sup- pose she’d let us talk in the library? Helena doesn’t bother about boys—she supremely ig- nores then, in fact, but we predict that ’twill not always be so. MARIAN JOHNSON 11 What sweet delight a quiet life affords. ’ ’ Marian seems to be quite happy without much excitement, although she loves to play the piano, and dance. She is a “ peach ’ ’ when you know her, and has no crushes. She may soon be proving her worth as a nurse and we wish lie:’ the best of luck. DWIGHT MERRILL ‘1 This is the life for me. ’ ’ If you see a group of boys talking and you hear somebody say, ‘ ‘ The Oldsmobile is the only car to have,” that is “Buckeye.” His favorite sport is driving. But when he gets a puncture and has to fix it with the thermometer registering 90 in the shade, we doubt whether he still calls it his “favorite sport.” From what we know, 11 Buckeye ’ ’ has two ambitious, either to become a race driver or an electrical engineer, and whichever he takes up, we know he’ll become the leader in that line. “Blue and White” Board DONALD H. MILLER “A smile for every fellow; two for every girl.' ’ That is something the way Don’s motto would read and he lives up to it at all times, with especial emphasis on the latter part. We have yet to see the time when he gets really mad. It is not strange that everyone is his friend. He captained our class basketball team and much of the credit for its success belongs to him. He is our trusted treasurer. Class Treasurer Student Council Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Class Basketball Forum I 1 LTJE—WI I] 1 c ISABEL JUDSON “I’m quite as big for me, ’ ’ she said “As you are big for you.” Have you ever eaten any of Isabel’s re- nowned cookery? A few of us fortunate ones have. Often times we’ve asked her the reason for her industry and she has always answered, “Oh, I’m just practicing.” For what? Does ‘ ‘ Izzy ’ ’ intend to become a Domestic Science teacher, or is there a deeper meaning? Lately we believe that we have a clue, but we aren’t going to publish it. Time will tell. FANNY KROSHINSKY ‘1A disciple of Terpsichore. ’ ’ If there is one thing Fanny likes to do more than anything else, it’s to dance. We understand that she excells in that are. Also she is one of those fortunate beings who take a good picture. Don’t you think so? We do. We have it on ve v good authority that a certain young man around here lias made a very good impression upon her. Ain’t that excitin’? We thought wTe’d get your curiosity all aroused. ANNA MAY LANDE “Love me, love my dog-----” Oh, the charms of the much vaunted Eppie! Yes, that’s his name. Isn’t it sweet? But we are perfectly willing to love Eppie just for the sake of loving Anna May. She is already a famous actress, and the star of the third French class. (Don’t thvow any bricks, any one.) You should hear her argue with Miss Ward, en francais, about the relative charms of looking out the window and studying. Anna May expects to go to Smith next year, and my, how we’ll miss her. Pin and Announcement Committee Student Council Class Plat HOWARD J. MURPHY “Let me alone—gott’a study.” Lively, studious and ambitious—that best describes Howard. He confidently told one of us how he drives off ca e and worry; he chews gum. We all believe him, and would envy him if he did not get into trouble so often for that reason. “Murph” can be identified with almost all school activities, besides having very cred- itable report cards. We are all proud to have him a member of our class. Senior Assembly Committee KIRKWOOD PERSONIUS “Business is business—always.” Kirk’s chief and distinguishing character- istics are his length and breadth—or rather lack of breadth. He is the official compiler of the daily absence list for room seventeen. (Not so bad, eh, Kirk?) That he has business ability has been proven beyond question by his services to the class. We predict a successful career for him. Senior Reception Committee Business Manager “The Blue and White” I ILTTE—WH1 1 E MARY LIBERATORE “For she was jes’ the quiet kind, Whose natures never vary.” Mary ’s quietness is one of her foremost charms, because somehow it makes you want to know her better. During her four years in E. F. A. she has made many friends. We should like to prophesy as to her future, but she is always somewhat silent about that. One day we learned that she has a “hope chest” and ever since then we have had a suspicion that perhaps the chest has something to do with Mary’s future. FANNY LITTLE “May your heart’s desires be fulfilled.” Friendship with a girl like Fanny is a thing greatly to be desired. She is a sincere and loyal friend. Fanny is a shark for she is getting through in three and one-half years and expects to join the class of ’22 at Elmira College. We wish her all success. She is one of our first girls to enlist in the Farm Cadet Service. We are missing her and quite envying her these nice days spent somewhere besides in school. BEULAH LONGWELL “A winsome lass with virtues many.” What more can we say of Beulah, except that she is one of the ‘1 twins, ’ ’ the other one of whom, of course, you know, being Frances Sweet. To say that Beulah is one of the “twins” means that she is never lacking in “pep,” enthusiasm, or industry, and is espec- ially fond of laughing, dancing and good times in general. Beulah likes the boys a little bit, too, especially those with pretty names. HOWARD W. PIKE “I love the ladies.” Howard is a favorite with the ladies—one in particula”. He likes the spring when every- thing is “Greene.” He also is strongly at- tached to West Gray Street. If he fails to hear you, do not think lie is deaf, for he is probably thinking of his future life, when—. He surely would make a good butler. Putting all joking aside, Howard is a fellow of whom we are proud. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Committee for Senior Vaudeville Cast Party Committee Senior Play LEO J. PINKUS “Oh, my dream face! ’’ It is a shame that Leo takes such a liking to the fair sex and cannot find a representative that pleases him. He is a potential poet—a future poet laureate. (We can tell by his mar- velous hair.) His poetry is just “killing.” He is withal a clever fellow and is upholding the standard of the Pinkus family in an able manner. Senior Vaudeville Class Play BLUE—WHITE LUCILE LYON “You have deserved high commendation, and true applause. ’’ Lucile is tall, oh, so tall, and quiet. Be- sides enjoying music and good times, she has found time to study and is a whiz. Shark? Do you know she is getting through in three and a half years? One of her chief amusements is teasing her friends. But how does she find out things ? 1 ‘ Because---. ’ ’ This we must accept as an answer, for it is all we can find out from her. We wish lie:- success at Elmira College. mary McCarthy 11 Possessed of unfailing good disposition.’ ’ Mary’s favorite amusement is dancing and she is quite expert in that art. (We phophesy that she will some day in the misty future become an instructor in that interesting study.) We wonder when Mary learns her lessons, for wTe never see her studying or taking books home. (But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t learn them.) MARY A. McINERNEY “Good humor is always a success.” Mary is a very modest, demure person. Her ambition, so they say, is to become a Red Cross nurse. My, wouldn’t she make a peach! We understand that she wears an Aviation pin, so perhaps there is more than one reason why she should be interested in Red Cross. She is so dependable and steadfast that we know she will be a success in whatever she decides to do. ADRIAN POND “I should worry.” Up or down? A word to the fellow in the stunning cap and you are seated in the best seat in the house. That is Pond, whom we all know. He spends his days with us and we spend our evenings with him. He is a quiet chap with a habit of taking things easy. It is rumored that he frequently visits a certain youmg lady’s home. NATHAN II. RUBIN “A man of business.” The girls have not yet succeeded in captur- ing the heart of this young man. He is studi- ous and is always able to talk on any topic of the day. He enjoys nothing better than a good joke and is always ready with one. If you need clothes or advice on the quality of them, just go to the Woolen Mills store after school hours and ask for Mr. Rubin. He is a verv good clerk and in the future will be one of Elmira’s leading business men. I 11 j TIE “V H 1 1 I 3 BERTHA MANBERG “A pleasing countenance is no slight advantage. ’ ’ Can’t you just imagine Bertha teaching arithmetic, geography, etc., to a circle of adoring youngsters? It’s going to be a lucky school that obtains her to lead its young hope- fuls along the path of knowledge. Besides being very clever, she is very attractive; and while we wish her the very best of success, we aren’t a bit afraid to wager that she won’t be a school teacher all her life. HARRIET B. MATTHEWS ‘1A friend worth knowing. ’ ’ Harriet is a peach when you know her, so the girls declare. ‘1 Crushes ’ ’ is not in her vocabulary though we do not know as to her day dreams because she is a bit shy. She is very obliging and just lots of fun. She never has to hurry to school. It seems quite con- venient and an honor to be a non-resident. She will make many friends at Cornell next year. MARTHA MELLEN “Quiet and demure is she.” We are not very acquainted with Martha, but we know some people who are, and they say many nice things about her. For instance, they say that she is industrious, clever, and very valuable as a friend. Her report cards are always very good indeed, and from that you might imply that we mean to call Martha a ”grind.” She isn’t, though; she’s just got lots of brains and common sense. PERCY SEAMON 111 don’t believe I know, but I ’ll try. ’ ’ Percy may not know it, but he is one of the best known members of our class. He has done many things in his school life; he is a master at debating, dauntless before the hungry eyes of his teachers, and indomitable in the prize ring. Percy will never admit it, but he always has a friend with him at every party he attends. Forum Senior Vaudeville Cabaret Party Committee Stage Manager Senior Play Color and Motto Committee PERCY S. SNYDER “ Learn by doing.” Percy Snyder has been with us every fore- noon since last September (or nearly every). Perc thought he didn’t need to go all the day. But don’t think he lies around all the after- noon; oh, no! Percy is some singer; quite often he has favored us in that way. Same way with acting and basketball playing; those long legs certainly get him around. We are all sure our class would not be complete if Percy were missing. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Senior Class Play Forum 1 I LIIE—WI il 1 3 ANNA MacINERNY ‘1 Imagination rules the world— and helps in class. ” Not that we suspect Anna of anything like that. Oh my, no! But she never seems to spend much time studying, and generally comes out on top in class. We know this, for we’ve sat acrors from her for quite a while. She has a most contagious laugh and is always ready to talk until the teacher bangs on the desk with her pencil. We don’t know what Anna intends to do next year, but we bet she has a good time wherever she may go. DELLA MERRICK There is a quiet little girl among us whom we all like. She has lovely, curly hair and the dearest dimples. She is one of the few of us who really are delights to the teachers. She looks as if she were going to do something big and we know she will. Though Della (isn’t that a pretty name?) hasn’t been with us very long, we are mighty fond of her and wish her the best of success at college next year. FANNIE A. MILLER “And while you smile, another smiles, And life’s wo'th while because you smile.” This fun loving, wide-awake young lady is one of the joys of our existence with her ready laugh, and particularly of (we won’t say who he is, as he is on the Board). Fannie is a very capable person and also talented. She was an adorable little Irish girl in the Vaudeville, besides the leading one of the team in the ticket selling contest. And last but not least, she has worked hard on the business Board of “The Blue and White.” “Blue and White” Boapd Girl’s Vindex Board Senior Vaudeville Chairman Cabaret Party LEROY STAUNTON “Silence is golden.” Roy dropped in from “Number Six” and we are glad that he is among us. He is a quiet fellow and, like most quiet fellows, a good student. Though good looking, he has so far proved quite imuervious to the attacks of the fair sex. We think, however, that he is weakening, for lately he has been seen casting approving glances upon certain young ladies. We wish him success in all lines, .JOHN VAN ALSTYNE “Give me your paper just a minute” “Johnny” left us last January, after graduating, to launch out into the mysteries of the modern grocery business. He left be- hind, however, a strong impression of himself. He excelled in every field, whether in physics, English or chalk-thvowing. It has been rumored that John aspires to be a steeplejack, but we advise him to be a politician if he want’s real activity. 1H WHITE HELEN M. MILLER ‘ Still waters run deep.” Helen is one of the quietest and most re- served girls in the class. When questioned as to her plans for next year by our reporter, she flatly refused to give away any information —so we are allowed to guess. (You’ll have to ask her whether you’re right or not—we don’t know.) We all join in wishing Helen much happiness and good luck in whatever she may do next year and all the years to come. MARY M. O’DEA “And her eyes have all the seeming Of an angel who is dreaming.” Here is Mary, of the Senior Play cast, alias “Dorothy,” who so cleverly stole the heart of everyone at the play production. We wrould just love to see Mary in the movies some day, and perhaps we’d better prophesy more dramatic fame for her, but we hesitate a little about doing it. The reason is that Mary is very pretty, you see, and the boys simply cannot resist her, so perhaps it would be wiser for us to predict a bungalow for her. Senior Class Play CATHERINE O’HARE “Say, how on earth do you do it?” This girl is a wonder! She never seems to be studying herself into brain fever, but she always knows her lessons. We wonder how she does it. We won’t lose her entirely next year, as we understand she is planning on Elmira College. But oh! Sh-h-h—!! There is a dreadful, dark secret! She doesn’t prefer Elmira in all ways. We hear vague rumors about Pottsville. We wonder! ELIZABETH O’HARE “So clever, so fair, so full of cheer.” “Betty” walks majestically down our halls, but if you happen to be a lucky one you will receive a bright smile and a flash of dimples. She enjoys dancing, can play the piano, and also is one of those excellent students whose names appear monthly on the honor list. Betty is fond of all the sports and especially of foot- ball. We should like to tell on her for she never misses a chance to tease. Her success at Elmira College is assured. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Cast Party Committee DAVID WEINER “Way down yonder in the onion patch.” That’s Dave. He wanted to help win the war, so he “beat it” down the river to the first farm and they set him to work. What he lacked in skill was made up in endeavor. He is now a skilled gardener. Perhaps he aims to be a farmer. Well, good luck, Dave. MABY O’NEILL “True as steel, sincere, and independent.” Mary is small and sweet, -with the bluest eyes, pinkest cheeks, and blackest hair. In fact, everything about Mary is superlative. She is a devoted friend and an enjoyable classmate. Although Mary’s work in school is good, she has a marked interest in Grade E. In the fall she expects to enter nurse’s training in Koch- ester. Senior Beception Committee Class Play Selection Committee Senior Vaudeville Entertainment EBMA PABSONS “Oh, how winsome and shy and still.” “Pinky” derives her nickname from the color of her cheeks, and it is very appropriate. She is quite an artist and just lives on music. Why, she plays three or four instruments and sings besides. But “Pinky” has another pas- sion besides music, and that is chocolate bars. We hear she even devours the wrappers, but we do not hold that against her. WILMA PETTINGILL ‘1 May her doings ever prosper. ’ ’ Although ‘ ‘ Bill ’ ’ always appears unruffled and calm, she possesses a merry heart that re- joices in good times. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to a class mate who is “stuck.” At times Wilma is brilliant in her studies, but we don’t think they worry her much. It is not known whether Wilma will take up nursing or music as a profession but we arc sure she will make the best of her opportunities. CECILIA POPECK “What I have been taught, I have forgotten; What I know, I have guessed.” We hate to say that of “Celie, ” but you see we have known her for four years, and she surely can bluff. One time, a long time ago, someone told us that her ambition was to be- come a stenographer, so we prophesy that in not so many years to come Cecila will be estab- lished in some office making her employer be- lieve that shorthand is one of the most simple things in the world. BAYMOND WILKES 11 Such clever cartoons flow from his hand, We like to call him our artist-man.” “Wilkesy” is one of the most popular members of the Senior class. He has theatrical as well as artistic ability. But his nerve claims our admiration as much as anything else. One time, when asked to explain a dispute with another fellow, Baymond relied, “Me and that other guy didn’t agree, so I used the sign language a little. ’ ’ Senior Cabaret Party Committee Vaudeville Entertainment Pin and Invitation Committee “Blue and White” Board B T, TTE am)VHTTE ] 3 T i TTE “ ¥f 11 3 r'E PHYLLIS POTTER ‘‘Strength, both in mind and body, is hers.” Here is our girl athlete, who just can’t help her fondness for basketball, gym, and sports in general. But “Phil” doesn’t limit her accomplishments to athletics alone. She is quite famous for her banjo serenades, and they are especially admired by a certain person by the name of Bill. “Bill who?” you will say. Well, we won’t tell because we promised not to, and people shall never say that we don’t keep our promises. Committee Cabaret Party ALICE POWELL “One of the fairest of the fair.” Alice is one of the ‘ ‘ Three Twins, ’ ’ for did you ever see one of the three when the other two weren’t with her? Tall, fair, slim and smiling as she is, we can easily understand why she is a great attraction to one of the members of the Junior class. We don’t know what Alice will do after leaving E. F. A., but we know it will be something worth while. FRANCES RADLEY “ ’Tis industry, brave industry, That lifts its dauntless head. ’ ’ Frances is one of the most reserved and quiet members of the 1918 class. She will not talk of her accomplishments but we learn from various members of the class and also from the faculty that she is a fine student. She is the kind of girl whom you can always depend upon. Next year she expects to attend Meeker’s Business School and we know she will be a success not only in the school but also in her business carees. JULIA ROSENCRANS “The enchantment of curls.” Julia has a very winning personality. Al- though she is very quiet, we have found out that she likes Syracuse and may go there next year. Julia isn’t much in the art called ‘ ‘ gab ’ ’ but she doesn ’t miss anything of im- portance. After all, we do not know what she does on the sly. Her eyes have rather a roguish look and besides, looks are deceiving. And her hair! We could rave about her hair. J. EARL WILLIAMSON “Say, if I was your size, You’d take that back.” ‘ ‘ Stub ’ ’ graduated long ago, if we go by his counts. He decided this class was the best ever, so he just waited for us to catch up. His best card was mathematics, but his other stud- ies did not suffer by any means. ‘ ‘ Stub ’ ’ once said he wanted to be an engineer. Did you ever notice how exactly he piled his books on his desk or sharpened his pencils? I I] 1 C HELEN SHELANSKY 11 We grant although she has much wit, She is very shy of using it. ” Helen comes to E. F. A. from afar, and her chief characteristic is “pluck. We have often wondered on mornings when the ther- mometer registered far below zero and we sat shivering and grumbling because we had a few blocks to walk, how she ever had the courage to come to school from way out on a farm. We envy her snapping black eyes and her red cheeks, though, and her cleverness, too. Per- haps a little farm life would be good for us all. MARJORIE SHERMAN “ ’Tis sweet to be appreciated. ‘ ‘ Say, someone tell me something about Marjorie Sherman. ’ “Oh, she’s a peach, (general chorus). That seems to be the vote everywhere. Isn’t that a good record to have made? Marjorie is always just the same. She never seems to get very much excited over les- sons but seems to keep out of deep water all right. On the whole, we have decided to let the general vote have it. “She’s a peach.” F. IRENE SLINGERLAND “The dearest friend to me, the kindest maid, The best conditioned and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies.” Irene is tall and sweet, with curly black hair and blue eyes. She is a singer of note— but it’s not a very high note. We cannot find out much about her crushes as they are outside of school. We wish her all success in the busi- ness world, which she expects to enter next year as a stnographer. Her work as typist for the “ Vindex” is very much appreciated by all. Typist for Vindex Senior Entertainment FRANCES SMITH ‘ ‘ She is likewise good and fair. Frances is one of our non-resident mem- bers and hails from Seely Creek. We don’t know what her hobby is, but we do know that she is particularly interested in minister s sons, especially—(never mind, Frances, we won’t tell). We are very glad she is one of us and she has our best wishes in whatever she undertakes after finishing E. F. A. ROBERT WOODWARD “I care not—for the ladies.” “Doc” is a good student and the quietest fellow in the class. His lessons are well pre- pared. He is serious at all times. There is, however, one outstanding and singular element in his constitution—he actually cares absolutely nothing for the ladies. Perhaps his constitu- tion will be amended. If he ’tends to business in the future, as in the past, his success is assured. “Blue and White” Board Yindex B I i IIEWI- I] 1 IE ■ LEAH MAY SMITH ‘ ‘ A writer destined to fame.’ ’ The above seems to be true. Leali is one of the main stays of the Vindex Board and the Blue and White Board. Goodness knows what they’d do without her. And you ought to hear her recite in English. She never seems to study particularly, but is always right there in class. Leah’s a perfect peach, and every one likes her and wishes she had a twin. “Blue and White” Board Vindex GRACE STEINHAUSER 11 Skilled in Art. ’ ’ Grace is an awfully good specimen of the type called “peach.” We who know her real- ize this fact and are glad we do know her. She is always sweet and gracious. Sometimes we hear from some awe-inspired little Freshie, “Who is this Grecian goddess who carries slips?” Grace is very skilled in drawing and her future occupation is sure to be artistic. We wish her success and happiness. “Blue and White” Board MARIAN E. SULLIVAN “Life is one eternal smile.” “Mazie” believes in two things—cheerful- ness and laughter, and indeed that little, eve - present smile of hers is often quite contagious. Just what the first steps in her career as an alumna will be, we cannot say but we are cer- tain that it will be something pleasant. “Mazie” always seems to have a wav of pass- ing by the dull and uninteresting things in life. MARION L. SULLIVAN 111 thought I’d never get here. ’ ’ Overheard in locker room—‘ ‘ It that the last bell?” “Yes, it must be for theve is Marion just rushing in.” It must be admitted that she is noted for that just as she is also noted for having her hat blow off (there always seems to be a boy to run after it). Marion has heaps of school and class spirit, always attend- ing school games and parties, which is a reputa- tion to be proud of. May her popularity and class spirit continue when she enters college next fall. Ticket Selling Team for Senior Vaudeville WESLEY WORRALL “Look in the book.” Don’t think that “Wes” always depends on his book when reciting. Quite often he succeeds without it. He is especially good in history; ask Miss Rockwell if he isn’t. He can do other notable things. Among them he can drill a company of rookies as well as any full general could; also pilot a car full of boys and girls over the rougher roads without losing one. Senior Vaudeville Senior Class Basketball I u.iir-vi ii c FRANCES SWEET ‘ ‘ Let laughter make your troubles fly. ’ ’ Here is a girl who believes that a small amount of real cleverness plus a great amount of humor will make anyone very successful in life. Frances has both, so we are waiting to see how the world and she will agree. Another interesting thing about Frances is her name. Does anyone remember how shocked we were in a certain class one day when one of our most dignified professors exasperated by her cheerful whispering, cried out something like this, “You would be very sweet if-------- etc.”? Well, it's all right, of course, when you con- sider her name, but my, how Frances did blush! IRENE TAYLOR “A living ray of intellectual fire.” It must be nice to be able to have a thing like that said about you. Irene certainly de- serves it. Her report card just bristles with 90’s. Her Vergil translations are a joy for- ever. Why, Miss Tashjian just beams on her (which is an awfully good sign). You never catch Irene saying those silly things some of the rest of us do when in an extremity. She certainly deserves the greatest success. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment FANNY TOWNSEND ‘11 am peeved. ’’ Eh, Fanny? That is what you tell us when you seem to feel badly, or somebody (?) has not done as you wanted him to do. Her highest aim is to tease Mr. Cady, and another is to stay out of bed o ’ nights. As a friend she cannot be beat, and she has helped out more than one fellow. As to her future ambitions, well, we can say this, she may be a M-r-s. but before that, she tells us, she is going to Cornell. Vindex Cabaret Party Committee Senior Party Committee GRETCHEN WESTERVELT “Modest, and simple, and swreet.” Don’t you think that quotation just fits Gretehen? So do we. She is an accomplished young person, being a musician, an artist, and expects to be a teacher. She has many inter- ests, especially books, and also, we understand, a western training camp. Her lack of size and her curly hair (aren’t you crazy about it?) are her most notable characteristics. Next year she is going to Geneseo and will surely be missed at E. F. A. “Blue and White” Board I U.IIR-VHI □ I C FRANCES WILLIAMS “In every rank, or great or small, The industrious support us all. ’ ’ Frances rained on us from Syracuse. We are very glad to have her and her loyal support for E. F. A. We wonder why she likes the '16 class ring better than our own? Senior Entertainment LAURA L. WOOD “Good humor is always a success.” From all appearances, one would think Laura was of the quiet, studious kind whose one interest is lessons, but appearances are often deceiving. Laura likes good times as well as anyone and lends hearty support to all our school activities. She has strong likes for she says quite often, “I just love it.” Laura’s laugh has won for her many friends. The girls at Elmira College will welcome her into their ranks. FRANCES YOUNG “All the nodding daffodils woke up And laughed on her, the sweetest Maiden of us all.” A visitor strolling about the halls of E. F. A. was once heard to remark, “Who is that cute little girl with the fluffy hair?” We looked in the direction pointed and, of course, we saw—Frances. Immediately we told him how the Class of ’18 appreciates her and how faithfully she has served us all the year as our Vice-President. The visitor seemed pleased and added, “I like to see a face like hers; she ’ll accomplish whatever she undertakes. ’ ’ We believe it too. Vice-Pres. Senior Class Student Council Committee for Play Selection MARIA ZAMMIT ‘1 There is no greater delight than to be conscious of sincerity. ’ ’ “Mary” is another of our sharks in school. She is also the possessor of the honor of being the fastest knitter in Elmira. She has wonder- ful hair and for a long time was distinguished by two black braids. Mary’s passion is high heels manifest even at coasting parties. She plays the piano and the pipe organ. Our little world of E. F. A. is better by just having Mary in it and her many friends wish her suc- cess at Syracuse University. They also hope Mary will never lose that faculty for being ‘ ‘ shocked ’ ’ which is so delightful.

B I i TTFl AmjW 1 HI r: E ei .StSSlK fl X ' y '18 n [S3 10 Sf Now, at the end of our four years at “fair E. F. A.,” let us review the history of the past years, beginning with that all-important day when we first entered the School in the fall of 1914. We were hailed by the upper-classmen as Freshmen! That name clung to us for a whole year during which we learned many things—among them, to find our way about the school without asking the assistance of an upper- classman, to walk through the halls without getting in the way of the Seniors, and to sing the Alma Mater. The next year we returned as Sophomores, feeling very wise after one year’s experience. The first thing we did was to organize our class and elect our class officers. Cornelius Donahue was chosen as President, Frances Young, Vice-President; Mary O’Dea, Secretary; and Chester Howell, Treas- urer. Our class colors were decided on—crimson and white—and a party was held which was very important, being our first social event as a class. Our Junior year, we came back with new resolutions, to study hard and be on the honor list each month. Our class officers were elected—'Chester Howell, President; Elizabeth Chapman, Vice-President; Josephine Bentley, Secretary; and Harold Probes, Treasurer. We held two parties and a picnic and although our finances were rather low, we bravely pledged one hundred and fifty dollars of our future money to Elmira College. In June we separated for vacation—many of our class patriotically responded to the call for farm service—but we all returned to E. F. A. in the fall. At last we were Seniors, after three years of hard studying—but it was worth it! Our efficient President of last year was unanimously re-elected and the following capable officers for this year; Frances Young, Vice-President; Helen Harrison, Secretary; and Donald Miller, Treasurer. Mr. Kern was chosen Patron Saint and our class has been very fortunate in its choice. To get our Senior year properly started we held a Military Party and invited the under-classmen. Next came our Senior Reception, which was the event of the year. Our class, needing funds to pay its pledge to the College, held a Vaudeville Entertainment, which was a huge success and later we had a class party given by the losing team in a contest in selling tickets for the Vaudeville. This was a Cabaret affair and much fun. Our Class Play was simply great, being one of the best ever produced. We had charge of the Arbor Day exercises and after that began to cram for exams. We managed to get through and at last the coveted diploma is in our hands. Now we part with the dear old School, although we take away a goodly number of fond memories of our four years here and our many friends won at our dear Alma Mater. On leaving we shall continue to practice what we have preached by our class motto, and banish camouflage. We hope always to be, rather than to seem to be. BLUE “ V H1 1 E 1 IaJ Tune Keep TKe Home.

A. a lively school paper. Walter Garey, as Editor-in-Chief has been just the best ever, and we must not forget to praise his able assistant, Josephine Bentley. The six literary editors, Elisbeth Carr, Leah Smith, Innis Lyon, Raymond Howes, and Addie Vernooy, completed the editorial staff. The following departments have been well taken care of: Athletics, James Grady; the Exchange, Fanny Townsend; Student Council, Katherine Blyly; Forum, Mortimer Sullivan; and Music, Ida Cotton. The business staff, with Harold Ames as Business Manager, Robert Wood- ward and Carolus Getchell, Assistants; Alfred Zimdahl, Advertising Manager; Cbauncey Wright and Wendall Howard, Circulation Managers; Richard Heller and Everett Howes as Freshmen Business Managers, have performed their duties very capably and in a most business like manner. With the advice of Miss Bailey, Literary; Miss Youmans, Art; Mr. Nichols, Business, we have tried to please you all this year, and we hope that you will remember the 1917-18 issues of the Vindex without heaping too much censure upon the long suffering Board. BT,TTE ™WHTTT] DEBATING TEAM fi T i TTF! AmVHTTT] iFurum President ------- Cornelius Donahue Vice President ------- John Murtaugh Secretaries - - - Daniel O’Neill, Austin Hassett Treasurer -------- Henry Friendly Forum Editor ----- Mortimer A. Sullivan Sergeant-at-Arms ------ Donald Miller Faculty Advisor...............Mr. Hill With the closing of the present school term, the Forum will have completed its fourth year as the exponent of debating in the Elmira Free Academy. This year has been the most successful in the history of the club and the members are well satisfied with their year’s work. The debates this year have been especially fine, due to the fact that the war has furnished so many interesting topics for dis- cussion. The custom which was started last year of having outside speakers deliver short talks on matters of general interest was continued and added much to the interest of the meetings. Here are the inducements offered by the club to its members. Each week the fellows hear a well prepared, well delivered debate on some up-to-date subject and two short talks on the topics of the day. About once a month each member takes part in a debate or delivers a talk. In the business meet- ing which preceeds the debate he takes part in the discussion and thus learns to deliver his opinion clearly and concisely on any of the numerous matters which are brought up. In this business meeting he also obtains a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law which is invaluable on many occasions. Dur- ing the past two months a new system has been tried out by the club with the view of giving the members a better understanding of parliamentary pro- cedure, as it is used in the United States Government. After the regular business meeting, a separate meeting is held during which the Forum repre- sents the U. S. Senate and each member is a senator from some state. When a motion is presented two senators deliver prepared speeches for the affirm- ative and two for the negative side of the bill, after which the discussion is opened to the whole house. The bill is then voted upon after the manner pursued in the United States Senate. This idea has been very popular and in all probability will be maintained next year. To Mr. Hill, the “faculty advisor” and coach, the club owes its successful year. He has worked very hard and left nothing undone that might lead to the improvement of the club. It is through his efforts that debating stands where it does in the Elmira Free Academy and that this work, so well begun by Mr. Wilson, the first coach, has not fallen off. —M. A. S. Uiljr debating (Uram The E..F. A. debating team has again come to the front and accomplished what the basketball and football teams were unable to. That is, they defeated the Binghamton Central High. The debate was held- m the Academy Audito- rium. It was on the question, “Resolved: That the Government should take immediate steps to own and operate the railroads of the United States.” As a result of the debate we again have possession of the Amherst Cup, which we lost last year. All honor to Walter Garey, Leader, James Grady, Henry Friendly, Cornelius Donahue and Mr. Hill. B T i TUF! “■VHTTE tufont (Uomtrtl The Student Council for 1918 has been a live bunch, and this is proved by the many things accomplished for the school. One of the things was the making of a service flag by the girls and later sending Christmas boxes to each soldier and sailor who is represented on the flag by a star. Under the leader- ship of the Council, the School has purchased Liberty Bonds and gone “over the top” in the sale of Thrift Stamps. To aid the sale of the latter, parties have been given in the gymnasium, a thrift stamp being the only requirement for entrance, and the girls have had charge of selling the stamps on the street cars. The Council has also done much for Ei F. A. in a social way. Parties have been held in the gymnasium before and after the basketball season, and have been very successful. One of these was in honor of the football team, and another in honor of the orchestra. Much credit should be given to James Grady, the President, for the effi- cient way in which he fulfilled his office during the past year. The other officers are: Elizabeth Chapman, Vice-President; Josephine Bentley, Secretary; Arthur McMahon, Treasurer. The following complete the roster: M. Beardsley K. Blyley J. Bentley G. Brooks I.

After seeing “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” presented by the Class of T8, April 26 and 27, we feel certain that future Seniors will not be able to do so. The plot centers about a telegram sent by Mrs. Temple to determine if her husband is telling the truth about a night out. Though those in the cast were especially well adapted to their roles, a great measure of the credit for the success of the play is due Miss Bailey. She is an efficient director and untiring worker. Anna May Lande as Mrs. Temple was a very sweet and loving wife. Boyd Craig played the husband, Mr. Temple, and showed talent. Mary O’Dea and Percy Snyder took the parts of the two lovers- Dorothy and Captain Sharpe. They played their diffi- cult roles with realism. As Prank Puller, Harold Brooks delighted the audi- ence with his humor and self-importance. The part of Mrs. Fuller, his young and charming wife, was taken by Grace Gile. Myrtle Hugg and Leo Pinkus as Mr. and Mrs. Brown furnished many laughs. They were the 11 hit. ’ ’ Howard Pike, in the role of the English butler, was perfect. tttor HaufotriU? lattertainnmit The Senior Class gave a vaudeville entertain- ment last December in order to raise money for the Elmira College Endowment fund. The entertainment began with a duet by Edna Cox and Mildred Hornung. Next came the witch scene from “Macbeth,” the witches being Irene Slingerland, Frances Williams, Caroline Keep, Lola Stowell, Elizabeth O’Hare, Irene Taylor, and Mary O’Neil. This was followed by an act entitled “Just ’Pore Christmas,” played by Innis Lyons and Harold Brooks. The main feature, a farce called “Oh, Doc- tor,” was presented by the negro doctor, Raymond Wilkes, and his colored helpers, Austin Hassett and Wesley Worrall, and the “patients,” Donald Miller, Percy Seamon, Leo Pinkus, John Finlay and Cornel- ius Donahue. Other events of the evening were, “ ’Cademy Comics” and a Patriotic Pageant. Kathryn Hughes, Rhea Hubbell, Helen Butler and Grace Gile as students in “ ’Cademy Comics” were instructed by Harold Brooks and Phyllis Potter. In the Pageant Molly Blostein represented Prance; Madeline Boak, Britannia; Percy Snyder, Scotland; Fannie Miller, Ireland; Howard Pike, Wales. The American Army and Navy were represented by Chester Howell and John Burr, respectively, and the Red Cross by Josephine Bentley. Prances Beebe last came out as the Goddess of Liberty. The success of this entertain- ment was due largely to Miss Bailey’s careful coaching. MISS JOSEPHINE BAILEY E T i TTTH WHTTTl denior Simplum On Thanksgiving Eve, November 28, 1917, the Senior Reception of the Class of Nineteen Eighteen was held in the Federation Hall. To say that it was a successful one would be putting it mildly. Over one hundred couples were present, and all said it was the best reception they ever attended. The guests were received by our Class President, Chester E. Howell- Jr., our Patron Saint, Mr. Kern, and by the following members of the faculty: Miss M. Louise Godfrey, Miss Rena Rockwell, Miss Josephine Bailey, Miss Jane Birchard, Miss H. Isabel Wixon, Miss Helen Hibbard, Miss Elizabeth Tashjian, Mr. Cady and Mr. Nichols. Following the reception was the grand march, which was led by the Vice- President- Miss Frances Young, and the Patron Saint. The hall was very prettily decorated with Old Glory. The stage was banked with palms which formed a screen for Daghistan’s orchestra, led by Ray himself. Over the stage, in a conspicuous place, was hung the 1918 banner in red and white. The banners of the other classes were also used to a good advantage in making the decoration really artistic. The dancing began at nine and lasted till one. Time after time, the orchestra was obliged to give encores. During the intermission, excellent punch was served. The success of the reception was due to the following committees: Business Committee: Kirkwood Personius, Chairman; Mary O’Neill, Carolus Getchell, Fanny Townsend, William Lutz, and Ruth Allen. Entertainment committee: Elisbeth C. Carr, Chairman; Helena Barnes, Josephine Bentley, John Finlay, Marcia Bower, and Ronald Breese. i nuur Military flartjj On the evening of November 2, 1917, the Seniors gave a very enjoyable military party to which the underclassmen were invited. It was the first party of the year and started the term well. The girls were dressed very attractively as Red Cross nurses, and the boys as soldiers (that is some of them were). During the evening Lyman Breese played for dancing and the soldiers and nurses forgot the horrors of war in tripping the “light fantastic” around the gym. Later, doughnuts and cider (which, by the way, came in an honest-to-goodness keg) were served. Much difficulty was experienced in tapping said keg. The committee in charge of the affair was composed of Frances Beebe, Josephine Bentley- Ruth Carpenter, Austin Hassett and Leo Pinkus. H T i TTT VHTTTl Mentor Glabaret Jlarty On Friday evening, March 1st, the Senior Cabaret Party was held in the gym, to which the faculty was invited. The Senior orchestra gave several selections under the leadership of Ida Cotton. Madeline Boak then introduced the class song, everybody joining enthusi- astically in the chorus. Other vocal solos rendered by Fannie Miller and Percy Snyder were also greatly enjoyed. Harold Brooks and Wesley Worrall convulsed the audience by a minstrel act and dancing specialties. The members of the faculty were then given physical instruction, after which refreshments in the form of ice-cream cones were served by the com- mittee attired in Red Cross and military costumes. Dancing was then enjoyed. The success was due to the following committee: Fannie Miller. Frances Beebe, Phyllis Potter, Grace Gile, Anna May Lande, Elizabeth Chapman, Marcia Bower, Fanny Townsend. Helena Barnes, Raymond Wilkes, Cornelius Donahue, Chester Howell, Percy Seamon, William Lutz, Leo Considine, Ronald Breese, Harold Probes. Arbnr Hay iExmtapH On Friday, April 26, 1918, the Senior Class was in charge of Arbor Day Exercises in the auditorium. First, Mrs. Herrick sang “Mavis” by Claxton, which was greatly enjoyed. She responded to an encore. Then Madeline Boak sang the verses of the Class Song, while the Seniors sang the chorus. The speaker of the day was Sergeant Darke, who fought for two years as one of the Canadian Scotch Highlanders. His inspiring talk was greatly appre- ciated by everyone in Assembly. Later in the morning the President planted “glads” in front of the School in behalf of the Class. The committee in charge of the exercises was composed of Helen Harrison and Howard Murphy. A ilyfit ry It is not known whether this event will take place or not. It is entirely in the hands of the class, and, if our class money is put into W. S. S. we shall not have it. Here’s hoping that our plans mature, for it is the last “get-to- gether” we can have in our Senior year.

WHITT] SfantbaU Our football team of the past season was a source of pride to every E. F. A. student. On September 10th, the call for candidates was issued and Coach Brubaker began to mould a team out of the fifty-four unseasoned but enthus- iastic recruits, O’Leary, Hoffman and Murphy being the only veterans. Every- body put his heart and soul in the work and when the Starkey game opened the season, the finest team that has represented the school in five years marched on the field. The squad was composed of O’Leary (capt.), Donahue (mgr.), H. Murphy, Colwell, McLaughlin, Reynolds, O’Neill, Hoffman, Koehler, Krowl, Delamarter, M Murphy, McDonald, Tillman, Presler, Bosley, Ennis, Curtis, and Fudge- each of whom won the coveted “Ei.” The success of the team is due largely to the capable and faithful direction of Mr. Brubaker. Cornelius Donahue, besides playing left tackle very ably, also managed the business affairs of the team in a most commendable manner. The student body loyally supported the players and at every game the gridiron rang with enthus- iastic cheering. The following is a record of the games: Starkey Seminary.................0 E. F.

However, the work accomplished by the team under the conditions deserves unlimited praise. Throughout the season the players put every ounce of energy they possessed in their work to produce a winning combination and their fight and determination to win was not inferior to the standard set by former teams. The squad was composed of Rader (capt.), Koehler, Sutter, Sullivan, Schmidt, Bosley- Mitchell, Perry, and Hoffman. The school is indebted to Coaches Brubacker and Kahn for their untiring efforts in behalf of the team, and also to Walter Garey for his efficient management.
