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

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.

] 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?
