E. 'SQ' O f's x'P It by A MP G+ ! HELEN GRAY And her eyes have all the seeming Of an angel that is dreaming. You may often see Helen, seated, quietly gazing into space and you wonder what she is thinking about. She.is full of fun and her sudden giggle may often be heard in the middle of a most solemn class. Then too, she is said to be quite a. shark in- Spalllshi a subject of which she is especially fond. Besides, she 1S a g'ood friend to everyone and a loyal student. ALICE NIARIAN GRINNELL 'fAs musical as bright Ap0ll0's lute. Alice 's versatility is very enviable. Just let us tell you ai :few of her accomplishments: She can sing, play the piano and a guitar, Inake fudge, make speeches, write stories and show a Ire- port card covered with nineties. There are very few ways In which she has failed to become proficient. We know 'that she sets a high standard for everything she undertakes and she'usually ac- complishes her aim. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE CI,Ass PLAY SONG AND Morro CoMIvII'I'TEE X7INDEX BOARD IRVING HALL A rare villain! 'J Irving is some actor. He can certainly take the part of a villian to perfection. He showed us his ability in that line in the class play. He is also a singer of some note. In the glee club II-vy can be heard above all the other tenors. And talk about Njazz! U Irving is a second Daghistan at that. But he has one fault. He is not a ladyls man. We don 't think that he will always remain that way but will,some time fall for one of the fair sex. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE CI.Ass PLAY DOROTHA S. I-IALLIDAY And :L merry maid was she. Dot is our sunshine-maker. You never can meet her without feeling that it's a joy to be alive. She has a smile for all and you can tell her laugh, wherever. you hear it. Dorothy likes to dance and can also play the mandolin. If you want to hear her, go into the auditorium sometime, when the String Band is playing. We don't know what i'Dot expects to do next year but we know she will succeed in whatever she does. STRING BAND GIRL 's VINDEX GERALD HARTNETT 'fGreat feelings hath he of his own Which lesser souls may never know. H Qerflld is one of the young Inen who had clear enough sight to realize that 191.9 was the only class to belong to. So he came, after -serving his country, to graduate with us. He is noted for his hemmful 115515 his ff1Shi01121hle dress, and his general air of neat- ness. All this and his readiness for fun has made him one of the most popular young men here in school. Yes we are very glad that he is one of us. 7 '

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.

9515 'fy E E .gif ,fwfr is 2 CE' lsf QQ 6530? Q , DOROTHY HAYS All's well that ends well. That is what Dorothy believes. She is one of our lIappy-go- lucky girls that take life as it comes, neither looking hack at the past nor forward to the future. She believes in pushing steadily onward and meeting obstacles in a calm, serene way. Dorothy ls greatest fault is her spontaneous giggleg nevertheless we are glad that she is just bubbling over with laughter. Dorothy 's ambition is to succeed Maude Powell in playing the violin. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE ORCHESTRA VINDEX BOARD ROBERT HINKLE 'AAI1 ordinary man, yet destiny holds for him we k1lOTV not whatf' Boh's pet desire is to go to Cornell and learn farming or, might we say, scientific agriculture. For all the noise he makes in and about the halls we would hardly know that he is with us. He is not one who pats himself on the back but rather one who is ready to give the other fellow the helping hand. ROSE R. HOFFMAN Still waters run deepf' Rose is one of our quiet, industrious young girls, very modest about revealing her talents. Nevertheless we have learned that she is an excellent typist and we owe her a great deal for the services which she has rendered us. Her aim is to become a sten- ographer and bookkeeper and we reconnneud heI' to any large business firm that is in need of a competent assistant. WWILLIAM EDVVARD HOFFMAN Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you. f'Bill's troubles must be very trifling for we never see him look worried. His studies worry him least of all. And Bill knows how to play football. He was the star of the Binghamton game and did great work that day. As for his liking the girls, Watch the upper halls at noon and We are sure you will see him talking to some girl. We wish you good luck, Bill. STUDENT COUNCIL GET-TOGETHER PARTY COMMITTEE ATHIJETlCl COUNCIL Foo'rs.rLL SUSAN KATHERINE HOLLERAN She was a phantom of delight. NVhen iirst she gleamed upon out' sight. Susan has certainly been a. phantom of delight to us. She likes all sorts of athletics, especially basket-ball. She has a great deal ot school spirit which is shown by her willingness to do anything that is asked of her. For the past two years Susan has been a member of the 'Vindex staff, striving to make our school paper a greater success. Susan 's greatest desire to take up the study of medicine. We are sure that she will accomplish her ambition and that she will not have to advertise for patients. SENIOR RECEPTION CoMiIITTEE STUDENT Couxen, YIXDEX
