,YE It sf ' 7' 3 yg ,QP rjfysef HELEN LOUISE HOOPER H There is nothing like the wish to scatter joy around us. Every time that you speak to Helen she will greet you with a smile. To hear her talk, one would think that she never eXpe1'-- ieuced ditliculties or trouble of any kind. If you wish to have her become interested in something, start to plan a party. Helen is very fond of them, especially when there are to be lots of eats. We can 'hardly blame the girl for we admit that we like such things ourselves. IDA S. HORDES 'iKnoWledge is the wing wherewith we iiy to heaven. It seems to us that Ida must believe this motto, for she lives up to it. She is more fortunate than the rest of us mortals, for she finished in January. While here she took up business sub-jects and was very conscientious in her work. We hear now that she is using her knowledge to advantage in business and We are sure that Ida's usccess will be complete. JOHN 'WENDELL HOWARD 'Haltl one, two, Right, dress! Front! At ease! Wendell has spent much of his brain energy this year drilling the stalwart youths of Company A over the Armory floor. Who would guess from this that he is a parso11's son. Rumors are re- peatedly reaching us that Wendell keeps company with a charm- ing young lady in both the lower and upper halls. This is rather a surprise to us but it is only one of many. In later life Wendell intends, so he says, to become a forester or soldier, at either of which we are sure he will be successful. 'VINDEX 'BOARD CAROLYN J. HOWE 'AA sweet, attractive kind of grace. Carolyn believes in packing all her troubles in an old kit bag and smiling. Although very quiet, she is always busy and doing things worth while. She is very much interested in church work and we have heard that she has a kindergarten class We can picture her conducting a kindergarten and we do not doubt out that all of her pupils will love her and bc attracted to her just as we have been. Signum BOARD CHARLES ANTHONY HUGHES p An Originator of fun. Charles is another of the young men who has helped to make the Senior Class the fun-loving one that it is. His impcrsonations of that well known character Charlie Chaplin are quite mar. velous and for that reason are known far and wide.

He is excellent in working on party committees and his help has been sought very often, VVC all wish you great success, Charles, in whatever you undertake. Cmss TRACK FooTIa,xLL FORUM

. EL fl '33,-j ' . QQ OX al vi- fc Q ripe Yrs DOROTHY MAE ESPEY We grant although she has much wit She 's very shy of using it.', Dorothy appears to be a very quiet girl but, when in a certain congenial group, she is said to be the gayest of the gay. She is always a good sport, ready for anything that her friends might suggest. She is also said to be very fond of hills, especially around Ithaca. Dorothy is also a noted violinist and a great ad- dition to our school orchestra. ln all, by her modest and unas- suming manner, she Wins her Way into all our hearts. WVALENTINE PARTY COMMITTEE ORCHESTRA ELIZABETH EVANS Exceedingly wise' is she.'l Elizabeth is one of the mainstays of our class, for she is truly a girl to be relied upon. t'Soher, steadfast, and demui-e are three adjectives that might Well be applied to this young lady and We would especially emphasize the second, for above all else Eliza- beth is really unchangeable. She is also quite iamous for her fine recitations, especially in Yergil. We wish her great success in Whatever she undertakes. GETATOGETHER PARTY COMMITTEE ELEANOR FISHER EVVING Time, place and action may with pains be wrought, But genius must be born and never can be taught. Eleanor 's honor marks prove that she not only possesses wisdom but also knowledge. While We are laboriously struggling along with one lesson, Eleanor has mastered three, with apparently no effort Whatever. To convince yourself that she is one of our gifted young artists, please glance at the initials of some of the drawings in this book. Eleanor ls clever ideas and school spirit have made her one of our valuable classmates. BRONZE, TABLET PARTY COMMITTEE Sigaum BOARD SONG AND MOTTO COMMITTEE WALTER- J. FERRIS Bore not his cheeks the apple 's ruddy glovv'?'l We do mean to make Walt vain but everyone admires his rosy cheeks. VValter is one of our E. F. A. farmers and for two years was a member of our farm brigade. This accounts for the above. He never Was a shark but he manages to get through just the same. He is a. silent youth who seldom ventures an opinion unasked, but we feel safe in prophesying a very rosy future for him. THELMA FETTER She is gentle, she is shy But there's mischief in her eye. . Thelma lives in a sphere apart from the rest of us, in a little World of her own. Thus it is rather a hard task to tell what We don't know about her. But certainly no one enjoys a good time more than she. In all, she is a good student and a loyal one, too.

cfm slsmvm Q, 737,09 his ROGERS PLATT CHURCHILL Jest and youthful jollityf' Rogers is our class jester. He not only has spent hours searchs ing for jokes for the Vindex and Year Book but he also has origi- nated some. His wit and humor help to make him a model toast- master and entertainer. He likes to argue and in this he is par- ticularly successful. We envy Rogers because he seems to have his name on the honor roll with practically no efforts whatever. Rogers has helped the class and the school enormously and his support has been appreciated by all. SENIOR RECEPTION Coiiwrifrrnn Sigmwn BoIxRD .VINDEX BERIN ICE I. CLARK 'Tis a leasant world to live in- indeed a verv J 7 . pleasant world. This is what Bernice thinks and we know that the world is pleasanter because she is in it. Everything seems to 1'un smooth- ly for her and petty cares and worries seein to avoid her for they know that she would not tolerate them. WVe predict that Bernice will be very successful on the concert stage for we have heard her sing. We Wish you the best of luck and hope that you will not forget us entirely while in Boston. VIXLENTINE PARTY COMMITTEE Sigmmr BOARD HELEN JULIA CLARK A practical joker whom few escape. Helen is one of the many girls who goes to school to pass away the time. Just look in room 4, fourth period, and you can see Helen, laughing and talking and making things lively all around. Helen intends to be a stenographer and we wish her all possible success. 'WILLIAM R. COMPTON Does nothing in particular and does it well. A good thing in a small package. Bill, here, is a good sport at all times, incidentally he is a good student although he has not yet attained the honorable degree of shark, Knowing Bill as we do, we feel certain that success was born with him and is bound to attend him always. GEORGE COXE A new acquaintance is as refreshing as an April showerf, George is one of our new classmates and for that reason We know very little scandal about him. During the short time that he has been with us he has formed a vast circle of friends. There is one fact that we can prove and that is, that George is an expert at banjo playing. We do not k1l0W what George intends to do after he graduates but we are certain that he will be successful in whatever he attempts.
