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.

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 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.
