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.

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.

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
