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.)

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

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.
