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 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

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.
