F. A., and another class has reached the end of its journey through her halls. The class of 1920 has witnessed four eventful years, years that leave us with memories we shall always cherish, whether they be records of work or play, sadness or joy, defeat or victory. The “Blue and White” Board have labored faithfully in an endeavor to perpetuate those memories. That this hook may help our class-mates never to forget the benefits and pleasures they enjoyed at E. F. A. is our dearest wish. If that has in any measure been fulfilled, our work has not been done in vain. We have neither wish nor need for greater reward. TO MR. FRANCIS R. PARKER Our Principal, we express our sincere appreciation for his loyal friendship, ever-helpful instruction, and patient guidance through the paths of higher education.

CADY, Busness Advisor JOETTE O'SHAUGHNESSY FRANKLIN WEAVER EARL BATEMAN WILLIAM DALE ANTHONY DELARIO MILDRED ATWATER “A Smile is better by far than a frown.” “Smiling Mildred” is a name well applied to this good- natured “little” girl. Whenever and wherever seen, she is merry and happy, always looking on the bright side of things, and fond of any kind of fun or frolic. It is her intention to attend Elmira College next year, and we are sure she will be a constant delight to her classmates there, as she has been to us at E. F. A. Class Motto Committee Class Song Committee MILDRED BEACH “So brimful of this merry, vigorous life.” This certainly applies to “Beachy,” as she is known by her many friends, for “pep,” a happy disposition, and a ready smile are some of her characteristics. If you have the blues, just spend a few minutes chatting with “Millie,” and—presto! they are gone. Just a hint—her favorite topic of conversation is “life on the ocean wave.” Her accomplishments are many, but she is especially talented in music, and we predict a bril- liant career for her. Invitation Committee J. EARL BATEMAN “T’is work that makes the world go ’round.” Earl just eats work, but it doesn’t seem to wear on him to any extent, or wipe the cheerful grin from his face. In prac- tically every branch of school life, his name is enrolled. He believes in diong well what he sets out to do, and the results of his endeavors speak for themselves. President of Senior Class Varsity Track Student Council Senior Basketball Captain Forum, (2), (3), (4) “Blue and White” Board Senior Glee Club Athletic Council Dramatic Club ASA BEMENT “I studied the bill-boards daily With eyes dilated wide. I wanted to be an actor— The truth is not denied.” Asa whispered this to us confidentially when he first en- tered E. F. A., and his ambition has recently been realized. Acting, however, is not the only activity in which he has succeeded, as his record will testify. Always optimistic, a conscientious worker, and a good friend, Asa will certainly be missed when he leaves E. F. A. in June. Senior Class Play Class Song Committee Forum, (2), (3), (4) Senior Glee Club Senior Get-Together Committee Dramatic Club VIVIAN BERGSTRESSER “And in the glances of her eyes Ever her heart’s good humor flies.” If you have seen “Diddie” and heard her laugh, you will never forget her. She is one of those sunny, joyful girls that make everyone happier wherever they go. If there is any- thing going on, she is sure to be right in the midst of it, and to do her full share either of work or play. A business life is her ambition, and we envy the man that gets her for a secretary. Secretary of Senior Class Pin and Ring Committee Senior Reception Committee Girls’ Vindex Get-together Party Committee Commercial Club EMILY BOGARDUS “ I have a heart with room for every joy.” Emily’s whole manner tells that to anyone at first glance. If you hear somebody chatting or humming busily in the hall, look around; and you will be sure to see her. For sev- eral weeks toward the end of this year, she has been forced to stay out of school owing to sickness, but we all hope that, in spite of this handicap, she will receive her long-desired diploma with us this June. The Class of 1920 can ill afford to have her name taken from its roll. Senior Reception Committee ANDREW BLASH “Much learning may make thee mad.” Perhaps “Andy” was familiar with this warning, and acted accordingly. However that may be, he has never been very crazy over the pursuit of knowledge, though he has always successfully weathered his exams, thanks to his amiable qualities and lots of good luck. Close shaves doubtless will come to “Andy” in the future, as well as to his patrons, but we feel sure that they, as well as he, will come through safe and sound. Senior Glee Club Get-together Party Dramatic Club GEORGE BOGART Quiet, calm deliberation disentangles every knot.” As George is the very embodiment of calm deliberation, it is very probable that that is the secret of his ability to pass examinations without apparent effort. He has never sought fame for himself, but is always willing to lend a helping hand to others, and consequently is universally recognized as a good scout. George is a big man in more ways than one, and his grip on the future will never lack strength or a clear brain to back it up. Senior Reception Committee Dramatic Club WALTER BOSLEY “The muscles strong, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” It is a combination of all those qualities that has made “Al” the star athlete of the Class of 1920. He shines in Basketball, Track, Football,—indeed, in every phase of ath- letic activity. That “Al” will make good in the future is cer- tain, for a strong body, an active mind, and a big heart have never been known to fail. Athletic Council, (3), Pres. (4) Varsity Basketball (2), (3), (4) Varsity Track (3), (4) Varsity Football (2), (3), (4) Student Council, (3), (4) Forum, (3) Senior Glee Club Inter-class Basketball Track Manager, (3) HELEN E. BOWER “’Tis good in every sense, you know, To have two strings unto her bow.” Helen is as well known for her love of fun as for her ability to get on the Honor Roll. It is the former that has made her such a favorite with her classmates, but the latter, needless to say, goes better with the Faculty. It is rumored that she desires to be a schoolmarm of “math” and doubtless, in a few years, we shall hear that she is at the Academy, “Denouncing dire reproach to luckless fools Unskilled to plod in mathematics rules.” Senior Circus Committee HELEN BOSWORTH “Thou hast no faults, Oh I no faults can spy.” Helen is one of that large number of girls that go through life minding their own business, bothering no one, and yet finding plenty of joy and pleasure in their own calm, quiet way. When called upon, she has always done her class duties effectively and well, has always passed her exams with a safe margin, and can graduate with a mind free from worry or care. Class Motto Committee ALICE BRETT “A friend as a friend should be— Loyal alike in praise and in blame-— Prone to be silent yet prompt to foresee Every call upon friendship’s name.” Alice is of the calm, serene, unruffled type, which makes her such a delightful chum. Nothing seems to bother her, except, perhaps, an especially hard American History lesson. She is as interested in her school work as in social affairs— a creditable point for any Senior. Alice’s vocation, we hear, is to be a stenographer, and we know she will have no diffi- culty in finding a fine position Senior Class Motto Committee Commercial Play Senior Announcement Committee Commercial Club LYLE BROWN “So dost thou travel on life’s common way, In cheerful kindness.” Lyle is one .of the hustlers of the Senior Class. Just to hear her talk is enough to convince anyone of this fact, and to see her at work is absolute proof. She is, consequently, a general favorite among the teachers as well as among tlie students. It is Lyle’s ambition to be a nurse, and we phophesy that “I don’t want to get well” will be a favorite song at the hospital she enters. Class Motto Committee SAMUEL BROWN “Let labor meet delight half-way.” Whenever a good time is in prospect, “Sam” is right on the job. He differs from most of us, however, in that he is just as willing to work and help anyone else as he is to help make a party a success. Artistic printing is his specialty, and this book can give proof that his work is of the highest order. Our class is indeed fortunate in possessing “Sam” Brown. “Blue and White” Board Get-together Party Committee RUTH BROWN “There’s little of the melancholy element in he: .” That’s Ruth! There’s always a cheery smile and glad wel- come to be secured by greeting her in the hall, or anywhere else she happens to be. She is one of the jolliest, most good natured girls in the Class and consequently there are a great many of its members that can rightfully and proudly declare, “She is my friend.” Student Council Get-together Party Committee Senior Reception Committee J. LEO BUCKLEY “But lo! no common orator can hope The envied silver cup within his scope.” Leo, however, is no common orator, for he has been train- ing himself for three years in the art of public speaking, with wonderful results. He entered the Forum as a Sophomore and learned how to talk, but conserved his supply of hot air until his Senior year, when he let it escape with a blast that rolled over all opposition, even to our redoubtable debate rivals from Binghamton. Debating Team Business Manager of Senior Play President of Dramatic Club Forum, (2), (3), (4) Senior Glee Club Senior Reception Committee Senior Circus Committee MARGARET BUNDY “A little, lovely maid, Most dear and taking.” Anyone that would accuse this poet of prevarication, may find proof by looking up the records of the Senior Circus. Margaret was leader of the Baby Show. Despite her cherubic countenance, however, Margaret possesses an impish quality that has gained for her the enviable title, “the clown of the Senior Class.” When one adds that her name appears almost invariably upon the Honor Roll, her popularity with the Faculty as well as with her classmates, is easily explained. Senior Circus “Blue and White” Board HELEN LOUISE CAREY “Honor and pleasure both are in the mind And all that in the world is counted good.” Helen is of the fun-loving type, and the Faculty can tell you that although she has her lessons once in a while, she is apt to chatter in class. Helen has taken no great part in the social life of the Academy, confining her efforts to her sec- retarial work. The Commercial Department will miss her badly next year. Commercial Club Commercial Play Senior Banquet Committee MARY BUTCHER “I meddle with no man’s business, Study moderately, take my innocent pleasures freely.” Mary is noted chiefly for her good nature and good sense. She has very many acomplishments, notably acting, in school as well as on the stage. Her method of wireless telegraphy between the black-board and her friends in French class could give Signor Marconi pointers. In all seriousness, how- ever, Mary’s interest in Chemistry should take her far, and we may safely leave her future in her test-tubes. Senior Play Senior Reception Committee A. BLANCHE BURNHAM “Retirement accords with the tone of my mind.” It must be very convenient to be a non-resident, for Blanche never has to hurry to school in the morning. She has been with us but two years, but has proved herself everything one could wish as a friend. Blanche is a strong contrast to many of our girls, for she is seldom gay, but always kind, agreeable, calm, and good natured. Could any- one wish for more? Senior Invitation Committee llllllllllllllllllllll■llllllllllllllllllllllllll■lll■llll■■llll■llll■l■l■l■lll■■■lll■lrlll l MARGARET CLEVELAND “A mind, a mind, But daintily clothed without.” As if the above were not enough, other qualities were added; sympathy, tact, and a rare personality. Margaret is a living proof that it is possibfe to gain a high standard of scholarship and still take part in the social life of the school. A girl is seldom found in whom these two elements are so weel coordinated. “Blue and White” Board Girls’ Vindex Senior Banquet Committee RUTH CHRISTOPHER “Nought was too much, And nought too hard to try.” Ruth’s most outstanding characteristic is her unfailing regularity. From her first day in kindergarten to her last one in the Academy, she has never missed a day in attend- ance. She has quietly and unassumingly slipped through E. F. A,, leaving the impress of a delightful character upon the intimates she has made. Get-together Party Committee LUCIA V. CLIFFORD “Thou didst not change thru all the past.” Who could more naturally take the part of “Sadie,” sweet, shy, timid, than “Lucia?” She is one important reasons for success of our class play. Almost any time you can find her roaming thru the halls, but—ask her, “Know what we had for “Chem?” and her answer invariably is “Ye gods, no! I haven’t even Looked at it.” She doesn’t believe in studying, but she usually manages to “get there.” What is she going to do? Ask her! She changes her mind nearly every day, but whatever she does, we are sure it will be interesting and worth-while. Senior Play Class Motto Committee CLARENCE CLENDENIN “All the actions of his life do show He is not in the roll of common men.” Clarence is more familiarly known as “Husky.” Indeed, if his picture could be extended, we know that many would be astonished at the size of his muscles. He has a voice that more than corresponds to his size, for he can generally be heard above all the hubbub of Room 17, discussing a topic or laughing at a joke of one of the other inmates. Despite these handicaps, “Husky” should have a successful future in store for him. Senior Class Committee Pin and Ring Committee Dramatic Club Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll JEAN COLLINS “A rarer spirit never did steer humanity.” Did anyone ever hear anything bad about Jean? Impos- sible! for there is nothing bad to be said. She is as thought- ful, sympathetic, conscientious a girl as one can find. Jean has always been exceedingly popular, and has made a very capable vice-president of the Senior Class. She follows the crowd to Elmira College next year, and the good wishes of all her friends go with her. Vice-president of Senior Class Student Council Senior Reception Committee Senior Motto Committee Girls’ Vindex GEORGE CONNELLY “Impulsive, earnest, prompt to act.” George not only has these characteristics, but a host of others besides. He is a wily business man, a clever actor, a fiery debator, an unrivaled cartoonist, a hustling reporter, a good student, and a dandy fellow. He believes in support- ing his school first, last, and all the time, and his school has gained much from that support. Treasurer of Senior Class Student Council “Blue and White” Board Vindex Forum, (2), (3), (4) Athletic Council Senior Circus Dramatic Club Senior Glee Club Senior Play Senior Reception Committee Get-together Party Committee IDA S. COOPER “Alas! that eyes so full of light should be so wandering” Ida is a friend that is worth cultivating for her many ad- mirable traits. Her chief attraction, however, is her eyes, whch are indeed entrancing (especially noticed in Commercial Law Class.) We are certainly proud to list her among our classmates, and we know that those she meets next year will have the same feeling. Commercial Club AVERY CORNING “When you depart, sorrow abides And happiness takes his leave Avery has done his full share to make our four years at E. F. A. prosperous and successful. He is a general favorite, for the reason that he is always ready to give the other fellow a lift, whether it be a ride in his car or aid in an especially hard problem of any kind. Avery lives up to the reputation of his father’s ice cream. He is surely “the quality kind.” Senior Get-together Committee JEANETTE CROSS “More than wisdom, more than wealth, A merry heart that laughs at care.” Though her picture does not belie her name, it belies Jeanette. She just seems to radiate happiness and good cheer. Elmira College is very fortunate indeed in receiving her next year for a course either in Home Economics or Sec- retarial work. Jeanette has not yet decided between the white apron and the note hook. Senior Announcement Committee GLADYS CRITTENDEN “Wisdom’s self oft seeks sweet, retired solitude.” Behold the only girl in the “trig” class. Each year there seems to be one maiden to have this honor, and Gladys is holding it down as well as her predecessors. That fact alone speaks so eloquently for her, that it isn’t necesssary to go into further detail about the “intellect of Gladys.” Suffice to say that, in addition, she is quiet, earnest, and, judging from the sparkle in her eye, we would say fun-loving, also. WILLIAM DALE “Prudence and sense, a spirit bold and free, With honor’s soul, united beam in thee.” “Bill’s” speed along many lines of endeavor, notably the cinder path, has made him one of the most valued members of our class. In the Cross Country Run, “Bill” showed track ability, and the next night, at the Senior Reception, he showed executive ability of a high order, for it was due to his manage- ment that the refreshments were so efficiently served and distributed. Business efficiency, athletic prowess, high- marks—all are his, and a better foundation for a fine career could not be desired. Manager of Track Student Council Athletic Council Senior Circus Committee Senior Reception Committee Dramatic Club RUTH DALRYMPLE “Friend past, present, and future.” Past: “By the kindness of her ways, She made sweet the sourest days.” Present: “Serene and resolute and still And calm and self-possessed.” Future: “May thy smile, like sunshine, dart Into many a sunless heart.” Senior Announcement Committee NAOMI DAVIS “She’s fair—she’s square, None better anywhere.” Naomi—the friend of us all! What would the Class of ’20 have done without her? Ambition?—she’s just full of it, and she has plenty of “pep,” too. Ever since our Freshman year, she has taken a leading part in the affairs of the school, and 1921 without Naomi will be a dark year in the history of E. F. A. Secretary of Class, (3) Student Council, (3), (4) Vindex, (2), (3), (4) Orchestra, (3), (4) Senior Play “Blue and White” Board Senior Circus Committee Senior Song Committee “Men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.” Marjorie was regarded, for a long time, as an ordinary, natural Senior girl, similar in most respects to all the rest, but it has suddenly developed that she feels a great dislike for the masculine part of the world. An article of hers ap- peared in the Vindex, in which she unmercifully flayed all men, and especially the boys of high school age. Marjorie concludes that “men will be considerably dismayed, when they find themselves utterly ignored by the opposite sex.” But suppose conditions should be reversed? MARJORIE DALTON ANTHONY DELARIO “I’ll turn mine eyes, as night grows later, To view, unheeded and unseen, The studious sons of Alma Mater.” If anyone should take the trouble to follow the poet’s example, he’d surely see “Tony,” for a more studious son of Alma Mater, would be hard to find. He has done much for the school as a student, and is also well known as an ath- lete. Consequently, “Ton’s” reputation as a leading mem- ber of the Class of 1920 is well founded. Class Basketball, (1), (2), (3), (4), Mgr. (3), (4) Year Book Board Senior Circus Class Track Forum, (2), (3), (4) Class Baseball, (2) Varsity Track, (1) Vindex, (3) Varsity Football, (2) “Blue and White” Board DORIS DOWNS “Life’s a jest and all things show it; I thought so once, and now I know it.” Doris’ sunny disposition would not allow her to make enemies or feel blue long. Though possessing intellectual abilities, she is most noted for her unpreparedness in French and her fondness for making a racket. She will take a course at Oberlin College to prepare herself for her chosen profes- sion—that of a kindergarten teacher. Senior Reception Committee MERTON DUNBAR “No profit grows where is no pleasure ta’en.” “Mert” believes that this world was made for happiness and that a grouch is not wanted. With this idea in mind, he circulates fun, and helps everyone to have a good time with him. “Mert” has settled down enough, however, to satisfy his teachers and become a leading member of the Forum. Forum, (2), (3), (4) CLYDE EASTERBROOK “A careless lad he oft hath seemed.” Clyde has always been a care-free member of our class. He has his trougles no doubt, like the rest of us, but they don’t seem to weigh very heavily on his mind;—at ieasr, he’s wise enough not to display the fact, if they do. How Clyde happens still to be with us is a mystery that only ins teachers and himself can explain, but, anyway he’s here, and we’re glad of it. Forum, (2), (3), (4) Commercial Play ELIZABETH EPSTEIN “One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress.” If Elizabeth is noted for one thing more than another, it is her beautiful dark hair. Her teachers, however, regard her most highly because of her marks, which are always of the best. She is always ready to help a friend with a lesson, and her cheerful smile and happy greeting are a sure cure for melancholy. Whatever Elizabeth may do, or wherever she may go, she is sure to number her friends by the hundred. Student Council “Blue and White” Board Vindex (3), Girls’ Number, (4) Senior Ring and Pin Committee ISABEL EWING “Brown eyes, brown eyes, winsome and true.” Isabel! Do you know her? Of course you do. And those beautiful brown eyes—they are always alight with merriment. Isabel has proven very successful in all her studies. She adores American History, and can tell you 3t any time what a fine character Tim Nasium has. May her career be successful in every respect. Commercial Club lllllll■lllllllllllllllll■llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll■lllllllllllllllllllll■ll■lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ESTHER FISH “To keep silent were folly.” And Esther does not court folly, so her vocal organs are in use most of the time. They are put to good use, too, for she usually has something sensible to say, or a delightful song to please her hearers. We have heard that she intends to take up kindergarten work, so you can be sure that some little flock will soon be entranced by that voice that has meant so much to us. MARGARET FITZSIMMONS “As quiet as a little mouse, Good as good can be; Wise as any ancient sage, This Senior prodigy.” We haven’t the space to print half the nice things we’d like to say about Margaret, for she is one of those people for whom everyone has a good word. It is enough to say that she has never been found lacking in friendliness, studious- ness, or loyalty to class or school. A leading place in the business world is her goal, and she gives promise of reaching it without difficulty. Class Banquet Committee HAZEL FITZHERBERT “A wanderer am I.” Hazel, after traveling far and wide over the face of the whole world (almost), came to Elmira and joined our class at the beginning of our Junior year. We are glad she chose E. F. A. as her school, for she has a way of adding spice and interest to the monotonous lives of teachers and fellow- students alike. Elmira College will claim her next year, and we hope this is an indication that Hazel is to make Elmira her permanent home. Get-together Party Committee MARGARET FREEMAN “Tall, slim and slender, And graceful as a swan.” You’ve all seen Margaret. She’s with us once in a while. She’s a shark in Spanish and Shorthand, and shines brilliantly in Chemistry. Good jokes and witty stories are her specialties. Bellevue Hospital will undoubtedly be filled with sick young men when “Marty” has completed her course in nursing there. Seriously, though a good nurse is one of the greatest blessings on earth, and we can trust her to be a good one. Senior Reception Committee MYRTLE FRISBIE “The wisdom that men seek and gain Is found not all in books.” Realizing this, perhaps, Myrtle has never been much of a “shark,” but has instead, established a reputation as an artist, a fancy dancer, and a fun-loving Senior. No one is more eager to laugh and to be merry, yet she can be as quiet, calm, and sympathetic, on occassions, as one could wish. It is this happy faculty of adapting herself to the moods and fancies of her friends that has made her so popular here, and will make her popular wherever she goes. “Blue and White” Board Senior Reception Committee Senior Circus Committee Get-together Party Committee MARY HALLER “Bid me to sing, I shall enchant thine ear.” “What a nice, quiet girl she is!” That is what people say when they first meet Mary. But wait until you know her! Did you ever see those dark, snappy eyes in action, when she’s angry? Mary is the little girl with the big voice, and it will be strange indeed, if ten years from now, we shall not obliged to pay $2.00 a seat to hear her sing in the opera. Class Song Committee EARNEST HAFLETT “In thy face I see the map of honor, truth, and loyalty.” “Earnie,” he is called by most of us. He likes to talk in class pretty well, but he more than makes up for this failing by hard study at home, and his recitations never suffer. His impressive sentences are apt to overwhelm us, at times, but we have never known him to use thm outside the class- room, so we readily forgive him, and hope he will forgive us in return. Senior Glee Club Commercial Club GEORGE HANLON “A strong man; For where he fixed his heart, he set his hand To do the thing he willed, and bore it through.” Though George hasn’t been with us long he has already made quite a reputation for himself, especially in football. It is rumored that he never saw a football before he came to Elmira, but he went out for the team and won a place. He will tackle the world in June, and he will make good, just as he did on the Varsity, for stick-to-it-iveness is a close com- panion of success. Varsity Football Forum Senior Glee Club PEARL HARRIS “Her eyes were bright as diamonds, Her cheeks, fair as the rose.” Oh fair one of the golden aureole, we greet you! We have heard of hearts ’n things being enmeshed in golden hairs, and so, we think, will it be with you. We prophesy a great future for you if a “movie” manager’s eyes ever happen to rove in your direction. MIRIAM HAYS “A voice of comfort, And an open hand of help.” Miriam is always bubbling over with fun, and has a smile and a cheery word for everyone. A talk with her is a sure cure for “blues”, melancholy, dissatisfaction, down-hearted- ness, in fact, any of the mental maladies that are apt to attack a Senior weighted down with responsibility and anxiety. If her helpful, comforting influence continues to be exercised in the outside world, Miriam will do a wonderful work, though her name may never appear on the front page of the news- paper. Orchestra Pin and Ring Committee MARY HART “Fair without, faithful within.” What people think of her: The teacher—“I will believe thou hast a mind that suits With this thy fair and outward character.” The student—“I have liked to be with you, To see you, to speak with you always.” Everyone—“Blest with thy friendship, Can I wish for more?” Announcement Committee MADELINE HEINE “And music, too, dear music that can touch Beyond all else the soul that loves it much.” Madeline seems a shy, retiring, little creature, but her more intimate friends may differ with us on that score. Her chief enjoyment is playing the piano. Although her present aim in life is directed toward a business school, we hope that the practical side of Madeline wont entirely obliterate the artistic. Senior Reception Committee Commercial Club DAVID HELLER “Small need hast thou of words of praise from me.” Indeed, even if there were a great need of expressing praise or blame, it would be very hard to do, for he is so unobtrusive and retiring that, were not his name upon the list, we would hardly know he is here. Nevertheless, he has done his best in whatever he has undertaken, and will, no doubt, continue to do so in the future,—a trait that will make him a valuable citizen. BERTHA HORDES “A glorious and a long career pursue.” The chief thing that we know about this young lady is that she just loves to study, and that, as a result, she has some high scores on her E. F. A. tally card. In spite of that, however, she gets right into things in her school life, and “they say” that she is not altogether an unknown quantity at the office. Her aim in life is to go on the Columbia, and we know that after that she will fulfill the prophesy at the beginning of this paragraph. Commercial Club AUGUSTUS HILLMAN “Born to excell and to command.” Though this quotation fits his name, it doesn’t quite fit Augustus, for he hasn’t yet done much commanding at E. F. A. He had the good sense to see, however, that to join the Forum was a step toward success, so he lost no time in doing it. We prophesy that Augustus will soon learn to make more noise, and, as hot hair seems to be in great demand, he may yet attain the position to which his name entitles him. Forum RAYMOND F. HOWES “Myself, when young, djd eagerly frequent Doctor and saint, and heard great argument”— “Romeo” has probably been successful along a greater variety of lines than any other one man in this class. He has been an honor man since his freshman year; he has edited this book; he was a member of the first E. F. A. Debate Team to win in the Enemy’s territory; and his speech in debate this year was the talk of the school for a week. This class without him would have had a sorry time, for his unfailing- energy and helpfulness have been a huge factor in the suc- cesses the class has won. Treasurer of Class, (3) Forum, (2), (3), (4) Editor-in-chief “Blue and White” Vindex, (2) Student Council, (3), (4) Debating Team, (3), (4) Athletic Council Senior Glee Club Get-together Party Committee MARY HURLEY “Her words do show her wit incomparable.” At first sight, Mary would be taken for a very quiet girl, but that impression vanishes quickly with better acquaintance. Did anything ever keep Mary from coming to school with a funny story? Of course not, and every morning she relates it to a group of hilarious listeners. Nursing appeals to her, and she has decided to make it her life work. We know of one hospital that will be overcrowded in the near future. BERNICE JONES “Deep self-possession—an intense repose.” Bern:re is another of those girls that do not care to make themselves prominent in the class, but rather seek to avoid the limelight. You have heard about people’s “hiding their light.” and we feel that that is the way with Bernice. We suppose, though, that this characteristic has been at least part of the reason why her marks have always been so good. MILDRED JAYNES How fine it is to be popular, And have every one take pains, To wait on you, and be polite, As they are to Mildred Jaynes. In English class she’s not fluent, Yet her voice is e’er low and sweet, And—well, in mathematics She’s certainly hard to beat. And now, as we near commencement, We hear her exclaim with a sigh, “May I know as much joy in the future As I have in the days gone by.” MARGARET KEETON “It is a good thing to be rich and A good thing to be strong, but it is A better thing to be beloved of many friends.” Margaret, with her charming personality and attractive- ness has won many friends and is a true one to all. She has a smile and a cheery word for everyone, especially after a good Cicero lesson which is her principal aim. Margaret’s ambitions and ideals are of the highest order, and her many admirers will join with us in saying, “The heavens speed thee in thine enterprise.” Get-together Party Committee Senior Banquet Committee THOMAS WILLIAM KOENIG “Your worthiness Remains recorded in so many hearts.” William is another fellow that came to join us in the last year of our career in E. F. A. The impression he made upon us at first sight has been deepened and strengthened by our further acquaintance, and we realize that in picking out this school, he did a great service to us as well as to himself. His chief accomplishment this year was his acting as a “silent cop” in the Senior play. William took the part to perfection. Senior Play. Senior Banquet Committee HELEN LARRISON “The quiet ripple of her smile Revealed the quiet mind.” Helen is happy in the possession of two things rarely so well combined as in her case; namely, common sense and an amiable disposition. Her quietness and unobtrusiveness pre- vent us from knowing her as well as we should like, but do not prevent her from doing her full share of class and school work. LAWERENCE KOLB “There is a certain something in your looks, A certain scholar-like and studious something, You understand—which cannot be mistaken.” His “scholar-like and studious something,” whatever it may be—brains, perseverance, or just sheer love of know- ledge,—has done much to place him in a position where he is regonized as a “shark” by students and teachers alike. Granted that it sticks to him in college, he has little to fear. Debating Team “Blue and White” Board Forum, (3), (4) Senior Banquet Committee Class Motto Committee DOROTHY LAWRENCE “A laughing face, fresh-hued and fair.” Dorothy is one of the maidens of our Class that just love a good time, it fairly shines out from her pleasing counten- ance and sparkling eyes. She always does her “bit” in any enterprise. Did you ever see her empty handed while the great knitting craze swept over the land? Dorothy even re- cited to the click-clack of her needles when the nerves of her teachers allowed it. Class Song Committee .....................................................................................................................................................................IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CATHERINE LE GRO “With many a social virtue graced, And yet a friend of solitude.” Have you ever heard Catherine play the piano? Those that have agree that she possesses great talent. Music, how- ever, is not her only accomplishment. She can dance, sew, cook, and entertain callers to perfection. Catherine is taking a business course, and expects to be a “tailored typist,” but whether this expectation is realized or not, her enthusiasm will bring her what all crave—success. Commercial Club WINIFRED LEE “Oh! blessed with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today.” “Winnie” or “Win,” as she is called, has shone brightly among us for four years. Her disposition is ever sunny, and it is absolutely impossible to pick a quarrel with her, or make her angry. Although she always seems quiet and self-suffic- ient when in school, we have reason to believe that when occasion requires she can display plenty of “pep.” Senior Announcement Committee MARY LEGRO “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov’d with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, strategems, and spoils.” Have you ever heard Mary play her violin? Of course you have, for she plays every Friday morning with the Academy orchestra, and many other times a week besides. Have you ever seen her report card? Well, her marks are always on the sunny side of sixty, though she doesn’t spend a great deal of time on her studies. Mary’s friends will be sorry to lose her this year, even if she does love to tease them and raise a laugh at their expense. Commercial Play Commercial Club FREDERICK J. LEVERICH “He is complete in feature and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman.” Such is “Freddie,” the life of the Commercial Department. He possesses the happy faculty of being ever ready to aid another, and consequently has gained the respect, admiration and good-will oi everyone. His energy and confidence have carried him successfully through everything he has tackled, and this condition is bound to continue for many years to come. Business Staff, Senior Play Senior Reception Committee Commercial Club IIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ISABEL LOWMAN “Here still is the smile no cloud can o’ercast.” Did anyone ever see Isabel “blue” or discouraged, or angry? Really, those words have no place in her vocabulary, for she is always the same smiling girl wherever she may be. Elmira is only a temporary stopping place on Isabel’s road to health, wealth and happiness, for she comes from Wellsburg. We do not know where her next stopping place will be, but we do know that she will never lack friends there. Senior Banquet Committee INNIS LYON Who utters most within the shortest space, May safely hope to win the wordy race.” Have you ever heard Innis talk? If not, you have missed something worth while. But he has many other accomplish- ments besides that. He is an actor, a poet, an author, an editor,—in fact a genius in every phase of literary work. Innis is also a runner, and has gained fame as a long distance man. He has won races both “wordy” and athletic, and all with that spirit of true sportsmanship and loyalty to E. F. A. that so characterizes him.

You generally know when she is around. Although this young lady is not particularly adapted to study, she gets along fairly well, and often makes brilliant recitations, especially in shorthand class. Be that as it may, sometime and before long Helen will make a mark in this world and—who knows? —she may be private secretary to the President. Commercial Club Commercial Play Senior Announcement Committee Senior Reception Committee ARTHUR C. MAC MAHON “On his unembarrassed brow, Nature had written ‘gentleman.’ ” Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have the undisputed chair- manship champion of the Academy. “Art” has conducted meetings, assemblies, verbal battles, and receptions and has easily dominated the bass section of the Senior Glee Club. What we should have done without him is hard to imagine, and what we have done with him speaks for itself.

One of her chief habits is to be on time and never to keep anyone waiting for her, a point that all her friends appreciate. She is especially interested in art and social service in either of which a career will be worth while both to herself and to her fellow men. Senior Announcment Committee SARAH MARK “There was a little girl, And she had a little curl, Right in the middle of her forehead.” Sarah’s little curl is her most distinguishing feature. Many have tried to imitate it without success. She appears quiet and reserved when in school, but when you get acquainted with her, you find that at times her quietness disappears, her reserve is forgotten, and she has as much spirit and “pep” as could be desired. We do not know whether Sarah intends to wear her little curl to Elmira College next year, but, with or without it, she will undoubtedly catch many friends and good times. Senior Announcement Committee T. FARLEY MALONE “His heart and hand both open and both free.” “Tom” is the proud posessor of a happy smile, a “glad” hand, and an abundance of self-confidence What success they have brought him may be judged from his record.

In fact, Jennie is the uncrowned “Queen of the Sharks” of the Senior Class. Her knowledge continues every day to astonish and amaze us. She is an authoress of great renown. Her delightful stories appear frequently in the “Vindex,” and she is even suspected by some of secretly writing a book. A fine career for Jennie is assured, for only nervous prostration can keep her from leading Elmira Col- lege next year, and nerves seem to be the least of her troubles. “Blue and White” Board Vindex Student Council Class Song Committee Get-together Party Committee HiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini ELIAS MILLER “In him the grave and playful mixed, And wisdom held with folly truce.' Elias threatened to throw us out the window if we called him by his popular nickname, so after a great deal of de- liberation we have decided to call him simply Elias. Elias, then, has a fund of droll humor which is forever overflowing with disastrous results to the peace and quiet of the school room, but this does not deter him from being a first class business man, and a wonderful actor Manager E. F. A. Debate Team Forum, (2), (3), (4) Senior Glee Club Vindex Senior Circus Committee Class Song Cimmittee Senior Class Play Dramatic Club SARAH MILLS “Here is a dear, a true industrious friend.” This must have been written for Sarah, for who was ever “stuck” when she was not more than willing to help out? But don’t misunderstand, and think she is a “shark” and noth- ing else. Sarah is one of the jolliest girls in Room 16, and an untiring worker in the interests of the class. Her strong personality will stand her in good stead in her future work. JAMES MILLER “I would be better acquainted with thee.” These words or words to the same effect were uttered by many a feminine member of the class when James joined us last year. James strayed into camp a stranger, but his pleas- ing personality did not permit him to remain a stranger long, and he has formed many close friendships, among both pres- ent and former students. May he get as much enjoyment out of life next year as he has this year at E. F. A. Commercial Play Class Basket ball WILLIAM MILLER “Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.” Here we have ano.ther superlong member of the class of ’20. We have never made the claim that our class contaied the tallest fellows in the Academy, but, should we ever decide to do so, William would be our foremost—and uppermost— reason for that claim. One of the most admirable traits, how- ever, is that he doesn’t consider himself above the rest of us, and is ready to be friendly to anyone, whether he be large or small. SYBIL ALISON MOSHER “Glad as the sunshine and the laughing- day.” “Glad” just suits Alison, for her merry, happy laughter is ever present, though her stay here has been characterized more by noiseless, undisturbing application to her duties than by brilliant appearances at social gatherings. She expects to be a nurse, and we all congratulate her upon her choice of work, for a life of service is certainly a beautiful one. Senior Pin and Ring Committee REMINGTON MURPHY “A fellow of plain, uncoined constancy.” Here is a fellow, who, although somewhat universed in the art of self-advertisement is well liked by all who know him. Quiet, retired, studious, and conscientious, he is a good scout in every particular. He is always ready to help whenever he can, and he generally is able, a result of high marks and unassuming, undemonstrative capability. HELEN MOSH1ER “Pll note you in my book of memory.” “Bobby” is one of those girls that can usually be seen strolling up and down the upper hall, with no apparent des- tination, yet ready, at any moment to aid in a bit of merriment or fun. We are not sure what she expects to do with her life, but a little bird tells us that she will be either a great artist or a leading worker in the Y. W. C. A. movement. Ring and Pin Committee THADDEUS MYERS “The night was dark, the stars were few—” That sounds just like the first sentence of a detective story, doesn’t it? In fact, that’s just what it is, for “Ted’s” reputa- tion for successful effort rests mainly upon his remarkable imprsonation of a modern Sherlock Holmes in the Senior Play. “Ted” wanted to be the villian, but, by the irony of fate and the judges’ decision, he was compelled to chase the crook all over the stage for two nights without catching him. Though he has had hard luck in the past, we see good luck ahead of him in the future. Senior Play wBL. LOUIS NARZISSENFIELD “A schoolboy innocent of books.” We fooled you, didn’t we? Didn’t you expect to see “What’s in a name?” or some other sentence to the same effect? After a great deal of of indecision, we chose the above, which, however, must not be taken literally, for “Louie” must have a speaking acquaintance with a few books, or he wouldn’t be in the same class with the rest of us. But “Louie’s” marks are usually on the right side of sixty, and we feel sure he will continue to keep up to the required standard of effort in whatevr he does. Senior Class JOETTE O’SHAUGHNESSY “Absent or present, still to thee, My friend, what magic spells belong.” Joette has the heart of many a fellow beating at an un- accustomed rate, for her charms are well nigh irresistible. Whatever may be her talent in other directions, she is an adept at acting as a target for Cupid’s arrows. What she will do in the future is unknown, and so diverse are her accom- plishments, a prophesy is almost impossible. Consequently, we must be content to send her away with this message: “Ye’ll aye be welcome back again.” “Blue and White” Board Get-together Party Committee Senior Announcement Committee GEORGIA NICHOLS “A smooth and steadfast mind, Gentle thoughts and calm desires.” G ood-natured N atural E arnest I maginative O bservant C onscientious R eserved H appy G enerous O riginal I nteresting L oyal A ccomplished S tudious ESTHER PATTERSON Observant, studious, thoughtful, and refreshed By knowledge gathered up from day to day.” Quiet, studious, capable—these are the three adjectives that best describe Esther.' If anyone doubts that she is studious, let him take a peep at Room 16, in the noon hour. Esther is almost invariably there, conscientiously getting her lessons. All her teachers can vouch for her capability, and her quietness can be observed by anyone. Her ambition for next year points to Syracuse University. Senior Banquet Committee llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHlllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllliiiililllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIlllllllllllllllllllliaillllllllllllllllllllllllllllll HELEN PATTERSON ‘T wish you’d reveal your thoughts to me.” Hein doesn’t talk very much, but when she does talk, she says something, and that’s not true of all. No one can know her long without admiring her calm, serene temperament, her kind, unobtusive nature, and her desire to help others— all of which make her a welcome member of our class. Senior Banquet Committee GUINEVERE POOLE ‘•Exceedingly wise, fair-spoken and persuading.” Behold her, one of those gifted persons that can get up and, if necessary, rave for a solid half hour on a topic about which she has very little knowledge. She doesn’t have to use this gift often, however, for the topics for which she is unprepared are few and far between. Guinevere hopes to be either a helper of the sick or a keeper of books—in other words, a nurse or a librarian—and success should await her in either profession. Senior Circus Committee HAROLD PLATT “To thee and thy company I bid a hearty welcome.” The only fault we can find with Harold is that he’s a little backward about coming forward. We are more fault-finding in this respect, because he has always shown such ability and interest in school affairs when he has once been brought into them. Whenever he enters Room 17 he is greeted boister- ously. We’ve all found out that he is a good companion and we are certainly glad to call him a class-mate. DREW RADER “O, take it slow and easy.” That seems to be Drew’s plan of action in his studies, though the opposite is true in athletics. Drew likes E. F. A. so well that he has sanded the track to keep from sliding- through too fast. Consequently the school has had the bene- fit of his athletic prowess on many occasions. He is a first- class track man, a wonderful basketball player, and so fine a pitcher that the New York “Giants” offered him a berth. He intends, however, to go to college, and we feel certain that he will not be able long to keep his light under a bushel there.

ISABEL REARDON “She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition.’’ Isabel is all that and more. She believes that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and that it has a like effect upon Jill. Therefore, though she is up on her studies her merry laughter may be heard at all times of the day. Isabel has proven herself a valuable friend, and the class is proud to have her among its members. Senior Pin and Ring Committee LEONARD RIESCH “Thus will thy life be here Not marked by noise, but by success alone; Not known by bustle, but.by useful deeds.” Because of the contrast to those about him, Leonard’s unconcerned way, and calm air of composure make him ap- pear different.” He is never seen rushing madly through the hall in the direction of a class room, but he is sure to be there at roll call. If Leonard continues this methodical system of procedure after he leaves E. F. A., no one will have any fault to find with either the quantity or the quality of his achievements. Senior Reception Committee HAROLD RICE “Is this a dagger that I see before me. No, don’t get excited. It will probably turn out to be a meat chopper, for Harold uses his hours «outside of school which so many of us waste, in learning the fine points of the grocery and meat business. His work in the Academy has not been spectacular, but he has done his best, and no one can do more. Class Motto Committee WILBERT RISING “Friendship’s another element of life.” Wilbert is richly endowed with this element, and his friends are numerous, though the great majority are outside of the school, for he seems to lose most of his energy as soon as he puts his coat in his locker, and to don it again when he leaves in the afternoon. Contrary to the inference from his name, he is slow to get “up in the air,” but that he will rise in his chosen profession is easy to forsee. Class Motto Committee ■IIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII GERTRUDE ROMER “Come and trip it, as you go On the light, fantastic toe.” Here we have the little sunshine maker of the Class of 1920. A brighter, jollier, more popular girl cannot be found in E. F. A. Her ability to get high marks without excessive studying, to attend all the social functions, and still to do her part of the work of the class efficiently and well, has excited the wonder and admiration of her classmates. Wherever she is, “Gert” is unanimously voted “the life of the crowd,” and that condition is bound to continue for many years to come. Student Council “Blue and White” Board Vindex Senior Circus Committee Senior Reception Committee KATHRYN SCHANLEY “To be merry best becomes you. Don’t make a mistake and think Kathryn entirely studious and saintly as she looks in her picture. She is always bubbling over with fun. There are few girls that could have won as many friends as she has, in so short a time. Kathryn is one of that very small class of people that carry so much in their heads that it isn’t necessary to carry much ill their arms. She intends to teach school in the future. Student Council Girls’ Vindex Senior Banquet Committee HAZEL SCHAMBACHER. “But how could I forget thee?” Orchestra Hazel is not a girl that seeks prominence for herself, but one that will aid another in obtaining it, every time. She is one of the very few members of the class that know what they came to the Academy for—not four years of rest cure, nor four years of fun, but four years of education. With that idea in view, Hazel has always done her best, and the results are more than satisfactory. FRANCES SERGEANT “Nor bold, nor shy, nor short, nor tall, But a new mingling of them all.” F riendly S ensible R eliable E ntertaining A ble R esourceful N aive G ood-humored C heerful E nthusiastic E nergetic A greeable S ympathic N atural T houghtful Senior Banquet Committee NETTIE SHEFFER “Much fun and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare ’ When the poet wrote that, he must have had in mind someone with the same sort of fun-loving, joyous spirit that characterizes Nettie. She is always ready, at any moment, to throw aside her books and join in whatever is going on in the corridor, the auditorium, or the gym, whether work or play. There, and indeed everywhere, her wide-awake nature adds to the pleasure of those about her, and we hope it will stand by her through the critical situations life has to offer. Student Council Orchestra Senior Song Committee HOWARD SPENCER “In faith, he is a worth gentlemen.” Howard’s fame at E. F. A. rests not so much upon the quality of his school work as upon that of his acting. As Thomas Watkins, ex-butler, chauffeur,” in the Senior Play, he will long be remembered. Howard will undoubtedly make good in some other profession, but if he should ever need a job of that kind, he wont be obliged to take lessons in “butling” or in driving a car. Senior Play Senior Banquet Committee TREVA SHEPHERD. “Now grave, now gay, but never dull.” Treva is a seemingly quiet, reserved girl, but, like many another, she has a twinkle in the eye that baffles us on closer inspection. We are surprised at the number of girls in our class that first give this impression of shyness, and yet give promise of lots of spirit and energy. All would have gained much if the “peppy” side of their characters had been shown more frequently in E. F. A. Class Motto Committee AMELIA STEFFEN “A quiet girl and yet a happy one ' Amelia lives in a sphere apart from the rest of us, in a little world of her own. As she is not a resident of the city, she is unable to come to our social functions. Amelia is never seen without three or four books under her arm, a sign of a really industrious nature. Our hearty good wishes for a successful future are with her. Senior Circus Committee HENRY STREETER “Such is the youth whose scientific pate Class honors, medals, scholarships await.” Yes, Henry’s taking chemistry, and from class room re- ports we surmise the second line of this little couplet is true also. Henry can do something all of us wish we could do but which nature grants to few. He can play a piano to perfec- tion, and he certainly can jazz. A fellow that can play a musical instrument is always welcome anywhere, and if he is cheerful and friendly, as Henry is, he is greeted with open arms whereevr he may choose to go. Senior Glee Club Pin and Ring Committee JOHN E. SULLIVAN. . “When time at length matures thy growing years, How wilt thou tower above thy fellow peers?” “Jack” is sure proof that an “extension course” in phys- ical development is entirely effective. He is afflicted, how- ever, with a curious malady, commonly called “chevalistic usology,” which, we hear, “runs in the family.” It is at drill, tho’ that he is most conspicuous, for his grace can not long be overlooked, even by the commanding officer. There he is in the first squad, and the “first squad” will always claim him, whether in society or any other line of activity. Stage Manager Senior Play “Blue and White” Board Forum, (2), (3), (4) Senior Play Senior Glee Club Varsity Baseball Senior Circus ANNA SULLIVAN “To what can I liken her smiling?” Certainly not to that of anyone else, for Anna’s good humor has a flavor all its own. She is always ready for a good time or to enjoy a good joke. But do you all know that Anna is a songbird? We have heard that she has high expectations of going to Peabody Institute next year. This class will long remember her as one of its most cheering elements. Senior Play Get-together Party Committee Class Song Committee MARIAN VAN CAMPEN “Here is a friend both for earnest and sport.” Marian is lots of fun when you want her to be, always ready for any prank, but she also knows how to be quiet and companionable when required. Her cleverest bent is art; drawing posters, designing dresses, even drawing cartoons in class when the teacher isn’t looking. She intends to be a costume designer, and we imagine she will be a second “Lady Lucille” at that. “Blue and White” Board Senior Circus Senior Reception Committee LEAH VAN WOERT. “She makes a July’s day short as December’’ Leah is another new-comer in the Class of 1920, but she has quickly caught the spirit of loyalty to E. F. A., and will be a genuine product in every way. She has abstained from parties and other frivolous amusements to a great extent, but in the class-room her work is invariably good, sufficient com- pensation, perhaps, for a lack of social activity. FRANKLIN WEAVER “I am not of that feather to shake off My friend when he most needs me.” “Frank” is a true friend, whose main characteristic is business ability. He is business from top to toe—quite a short distance, by the way. Though no one could discover it at first sight, “Frank” is a first class physical instructor at the Y.M. C. A., as well as a leader in all sorts of out-door sports and pastimes. His marks vary little, but they are always good, and his record of attendance is not surpassed by any member of the class; signs of a regularity of action that is always a great aid in the battle of life. “Blue and White” Board Senior Play Forum, (3), (4) Business Staff Senior Glee Club WALTER R. VIEWEG Placed in his chair of state, he seems a god. While Sophs and Juniors tremble at his nod.” This, as many of his friends will realize, refers only to Forum meetings where “Fairy” rules supreme. The reason that the Seniors don’t tremble, too, is that they have been admitted into his wide circle of friends, and know that he is realy quite harmless. On the football field, however, he is far from harmless, as any of our opponents can testify.

Carrie is a girl that is always the same; full of fun, gay, and always ready to share in a joke of any kind. Piano play- ing is one of her specialties, and we understand that she is noted for her jazzy music. Carrie expects to enter the busi- ness world, and if the past is any indication of the future, we are sure she will meet with very little difficulty in her career. Class Motto Committee EARL WILKIN. JESSIE L. WRIGHT “From Greenland’s icy mountains, To India’s coral strand.” Jessie’s stars have decreed that she shall join that great throng of self-sacrificing, heroic men and women engaged in taking civilization to the uttermost parts of the earth. She intends to be a missionary to India. Statistics show that emigration to India has been very slight for many years, but this condition will undoubtedly be greatly remedied after Jessie’s arrival there. We are sure that she will soon win her way into the hearts of Christian and heathen alike, for her charms are indeed hard to resist. Senior Reception Committee “Things done well, And with a care, exempt themselves from fear.” Four and a half years ago, Earl came to this school, a typical Freshman, perhaps, in the size of his body, but far above most in the size of his mind. He is a sociable, friendly fellow, and has always been a bright spot in our class. He leaped into prominence this year as city winner in the Army Enlistment Contest, and this prominence, once gained, will be slow to depart. Forum. Senior Banquet Committee IVA WRIGHT. “Thou whose light should shine, Eminent as a planet’s light.” That Iva’s light will shine brightly in the field of art is an assured fact, for her work at the Academy has proven that she has no equal here, and indeed, we doubt if her peer can be found in any school of equal size. A life spent in creating pleasing images for others will certainly be useful, and valuable both to herself and to others. “Blue and White” Board E. JUNE BURT “I know you have a gentle, noble temper, A soul as even as a calm.” June is rather hard to get acquainted with, but those that know her declare that she is “the right sort,” even though she is of the quiet, reserved type that rarely attract much atten- tion to themselves. June may never be a shining light in society, but her quiet influence will never cease to aid those she meets in the outside world. DOROTHY CONNELLY “There is a pleasure in poetic pains Which only poets know.” Did you ever read any of “Dot’s” poems? It would cer- tainly be a hard task to- stay at E. F. A. long without doing it, for almost every number of the “Vindex” has a sample. Even her oral recitations are poetic in character. “Dot’s” giggles in Chemistry class are also noted, and cause one member of the Faculty a great deal of trouble. Senior Circus Committee HAROLD COLLSON “Words pay no debts, give deeds.” This might rightly be taken as “Curley’s” creed. He isn’t often heard expressing his opinion to the world in general, but his work outside of school, as well as inside, shows that he has real business ability. He already has a position in a well known sporting goods store, a nd is recognized as one of the most courteous and thoughtful clerks. The capable way in which “Curley” has done his work in the past shows that he will never have to hunt long for a good position. WEBSTER COLE “Old King Cole was a merry old soul.” “Web” lives up to the reputation of his ancient name-sake, and also rivals his homonym as a means of bringing cheer and happiness to those around him. He is a renowned song- ster, and his “Listen, fellers,” as he urges his fellow Seniors to support the Glee Club, has already become famous in the annals of the class. “Web’s” value, like the High Cost ot Living, is ever on the increase. Senior Glee Club Get-together Party Committee HAZEL CALIFF “Why art thou silent?” Hazel goes her way without causing any very great ripples in the usual calm of her high school life or that of those around her. Always self-possessed and unruffled, she is a strong contrast to many of our girls. When she does talk, however, she speaks sound common sense, an excellent trait in anyone. Hazel may never rise to brilliant heights, but what she does accomplish will be done conscientiously and well. iiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii HELEN DELONG “For she was jes’ the quiet kind, Whose natures never vary.” This is the impression of an outside observer, but Helen carries a merry heart and is always ready for a good time. Her hobbies are correspondence with friends from many lands, and Y. W. C. A. work, the latter claiming a good share of her time. Helen is a girl always to be depended upon, and, as her future is in her own hands, it is in safe keeping. MARGARET DONAHUE “Many days shall see her And yet no day without a deed to crown it.” Margaret, with her dark hair and quiet disposition, forms a vivid contrast to her golden haired, excitable side partner. Both are alike in one respect, however, they joined the class after a great deal of indecision—on the part of the “office.” As in Alice’s case, we hope Margaret stays with us to the end, for we would be sorry to lose a pair of girls as interest- ing and entertaining as they have proven themselves to be. ALICE DILLON “If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, Thy nature is not therefore less divine.” Alice reminds everyone, more than anything else, of con- centrated sunshine, not that she ever concentrates, but because she is such a brilliant combination of bright hair, dancing eyes, and happy smiles, that no one can be cold or down-hearted long in her vicinity. The Class has been hover- ing on the brink of despair for four months, while Alice has been seeking “permission” to graduate. She now has that “permission,” and we hope she uses as much perseverance in taking advantage of it as she did in its pursuit. Senior Reception Committee KENNETH EDWARDS “So much to do, So little done.” That is usually the case with most of us, so when we find a fellow that has done much for his school and his Class, we we should sit up and take notice. As president of the Class in our Junior year, he proved very capable, and helped us pre- pare for the great responsibility of being Seniors. “Kennie,” with his continued good humor, has done much to make E. F. A. a happier place to live in. He is a friend we are always glad to have, and one we would not lose. President of Class (3) Pin and Ring Committee MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinilllllllllllll GEORGE HART “Men of few words are the best men.” Having Shakespeare’s word for it that this is true, we must concede that George is a good man. Though his voice is mainly conspicuous by its absence, he is well known for his expert sleight-of-hand performances, his beautiful poetry (?), and his indifference to all affairs of the heart. That some girls should refuse to call him by his right name, but should consider him Hart-less, is the natural result. On the whole, however, George is a good fellow, and well liked by all. Senior Announcement Committee EVERETT GLEASON “A form unmatched in nature’s partial mould.” Where again shall we be able to find such an ideal “strong man” for a circus? Where shall we be able to dis- cover one that can so easily lift 1000 lb. weights (made of card board), and exhibit such wonderful “padded” muscles? Not only the Senior Circus, however, but every other line of endeavor, lacking him, would have been without one of its most sturdy supporters, and would have suffered accordingly. Forum Senior Circus CLAIRE JAMES “The tender thrill, the pitying tear, The generous purpose, nobly dear. The gentle look that rage disarms,— These are thy immortal charms.” Another of the well-known family of James ! Claire, as well as her sisters of former years, is of the Titian type, and her coiffure and graceful carriage are the envy of many of her friends. Though not by temperament a deep student, Claire has managed to keep up with us, and will, we trust, not disappoint our hopes for her continued success. THOMAS JUDSON “Go thou forth; And fortune play upon thy prosperous helm.” We have no doubt that fortune will favor Tommy,” for he has the reputation of being able to make good in anything he tries to do. He hasn’t left much of a record in school affairs, but his social record is long, and shows that he has enjoyed himself and also helped others to have a good time. Some one once remarked that “The world has been led by a few, In all the ages of the past,” and if the next age is similar to past ones, “Tommy” will un- doubtedly be among the favored ones. Senior Banquet Committee EDMUND MCGLENN “I will not worry whate’er my fate, If good or bad it be.” One of the things ‘Eddie” does not believe in is worrying, yet he always seems to “come up smiling” after every test, and by a little sprinting, here and there, to keep up with the class in scholarship, though he is forced to take a place near the rear of the procession. Lest any reader should make a grievous mistake, we are obliged to inform you that “Eddie isn’t the largest fellow in the class, and that in all “Mutt and Jeff” comparisons, he takes the part of the latter. Forum DORIS SLAUSON “I would do anything to serve a friend.” Aren’t we glad she decided to join us? Our good luck was certainly working overtime when that decision was made. But what of Doris’s disposition? Grouchy? Never! Good- natured? Always! Try not having your lesson once—ask her for help, and you’ll know the answer. She’s a credit to herself, a credit to the class, a credit to the school, and we know she’ll be a credit to the community. JACK NICHOLS “A trustier, nobler, truer heart, Ne’er beat within a human breast.” Jack has certainly done his share to make our class suc- cessful. He is a thorough business man, and has used his talent in this direction to good purpose. His ambition has been to take part in every possible line of activity, yet such is his good nature that if someone else obtained the coveted position, he aided him all he could with an article in the “Herald.” Such self-effacement is rare, and where found can not long go unrewarded. Forum, (3), (4) Dramatic Club Vindex JULIA STEINHAUSER “Art is my evidence, That something was, is, might be.” Art is Julia’s specialty. Her work has been in evidence in almost every poster or cover contest that has been held in the school this year, and more than once her entry has been judged the best. In the realms of art she should have a brilliant future. Vindex CARLTON SUTTER “One who, where’er he moved. Drew after him the hearts of many.’’ “Carl” has every reason to be popular with his acquaint- ances, for he has ability along many lines as well as a character that easily makes friends. H.s playing on the Basketball and Baseball teams this year has been spectacular, and his acting in the Senior Play was one of its outstanding- features. Yet, with it all, “Carl” is just as modest and un- affected as he was the first day he came, a remarkable tribute to his good-sense and strong personal.ty. Senior Play Athletic Council Football Manager Dramatic Club Varsity Baseball Varsity Basketball, (3), (4) THOMAS O’BRIEN “Every man will be thy friend.” The girls, it seems, were left out when this quotation was written, but that was the poet’s fault, and it is evident that “Mac” had nothing to do with it. Though he may not have solved so many problems as his teachers might wish, he has solved one to perfection—the art of perpetual grinning—and is always ready to help anyone else do it, as well. Forum, (3), (4) JAMISON SWARTZ “Indulge no gloomy thought; Be cheerful night and day.” A better expression of his belief could not be found, for, though he doesn’t go around preaching it to his friends, he practices it every day. He has also made his mark in base- ball and the team has just learned what the rest of us knew long ago—that “Jimmy” is indispensable. Varsity Baseball Senior Banquet Committee KENNETH MARKS “Right faithful, true he was In word and deed.” “Kennie” has been one of the brightest stars in E. F. A.’s social firmament. No party or entertainment would have been complete had he not been present to add to its enjoy- ment. But “Kennie” has not confined his leisure moments to dancing and his violin is one of the mainstays of the orchestra. There will be many sad hearts when he leaves the school in June.

F. A. are over, and we are abchit to step out into the world, perhaps never to return. It is only natural, then, that we should wish to take one last peep into our history, in order that its memory may cheer us in the days to come. Of course, as Freshmen, we lived up to our names, and were as green as any Freshmen ever were. We had lots of “pep” however, and organized our class at an early date. We elected Arthur MacMahon, president; Jane Riley, vice-president; Kerwan Brady, treasurer; and Margaret Loop, secretary. Under the guidance of Mr. Wallenstein, our patron saint, we made a great success of our first year. The next year, with a little more knowledge and experience to help us, we returned, and were hailed as Sophomores. Again we or- ganized early, chose as our class officers: John Murtaugh, president; Lillian Daghistan, vice-president; Margaret Loop, secretary; Farley Malone, treasurer; and Miss Coe, patron saint. Our social activities con- sisted of several parties in the gym, and a vaudeville entertainment in the auditorium. After our summer vacation, we resumed our work, full hedged Juniors. Our class officers were elected: Kenneth Edwards, president; Ruth Brown, vice-president; Naomi Davis, secretary; Raymond Howes., treasurer. Miss Birchard was chosen patron saint. Although our funds «iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiH were very low, we bravely pledged to every good cause that needed our aid, and made good by holding parties at the school. Now we come to our fourth and last year. We became Seniors, and new trials and responsibilities fell upon us. Our officers, already elected the year before, took up their duties and started off in a way that showed they had plenty of push and ability. They were: Arthur Keeffe, president; Jean Collins, vice-president; Vivian Bergstresser, secretary; and George Connelly, treasurer. A few weeks after school started, our most capable and efficient president was forced to leave us because cf ill health. We shall never be able to tell him how keenly we have felt his loss, but in our year book, we can thank him for what he did do, and express to him our utmost appreciation for what we know he would have done for us, had he been able. We then, after a few days of un- certainty and suspense, chose a worthy successor, Earl Bateman. Our activities this year have met with wonderful success. Our Senior Reception would be hard to surpass in any particular ; the Senior Circus, the first event of its kind ever held in the Academy, pleased and amused a record crowd; and the Class Play will long be remembered by those that saw it. As a result of the efficient work of the Ring and Pin Committee, every member of the class has for many weeks been dis- playing one of those little bits of gold that mean -so much to every Senior, and the other committees have worked with a will, and have shown equally fine results. In a summary of this kind, however, we must not think of social events alone. What have we done in other lines of activity? We have led the school in athletics for four years: as Freshmen, we captured the marathon; as Juniors, we won the inter-class track meet, and turned out a championship basketball team; as Seniors, we captured the cross country title, and were again first in basketball; and during all these years we did our share and more than our share in supplying men for the Varsity teams. Nor have we been lacking in other respects. In 1919, three members, and in 1920 all four members of the Debating Team be- longed to our class, and in both years E F. A. was victorious. This is our record. We have done our part in every phase of school life, and as we leave we have but one hope—that we may in the future live up to the standard of achievement we attained at E. F. A. .iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiuniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiniii MaryHorothl Haller. iiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiiiiiMiniiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiii JUNIORS SOPHOMORES HIMMIIIIIIIIIIIII||||HlliiiM||||t||Mlllllllfllllllll||||M||imm|||||||||||||||||||||||||||ll|||||ltl|||tl|l|n|l,Mm,||||||,M|MM||MM||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||N||atf|n||||m| f | FRESHMEN HiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiimummmminiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiHiMiiUMimimiiinHiimHHimn IIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHM Illllllllll■llllllllllllllllllllll•llll■■llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll■l■lllllllll■llllllllllllllllllllllllllll■lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll■lllllllllllllllllll THE STUDENT COUNCIL YES, the Student Council is still with us. Some four years ago, this organization began its career as what might he called a one lung affair, but now it is setting a fast pace, with every cylinder in operation. This year, especially, has been a most gratifying one. Continu- ing the splendid work begun last term, the Council decided to meet the expense for the addition of any names that were by chance omitted from the list on the original Bronze Tablet. The first and only name so far added is that of Liscum Diven. The Council has always been in favor of numerous parties in the gym for all the students of E. F. A. and has seen to it that our school life has been well seasoned with such gatherings. Here's another excellent idea that was forcibly seized and boosted, the foundation of a fund to secure better stage properties, to be used not only for our Senior Plays, but also for the numerous dramas enacted by the members of English Classes and dramatic clubs. Though the Council cannot claim credit for originating the idea, the fund was ma- terially enlarged by the proceeds from a special entertainment. The organization of the lower Classes was also assisted and ad- vised, and it is due to this guidance that the classes of ’22 and '23 had such a fine start. These are just a few of the ways in which the Student Council is silently doing just the work that needs to be done in just such a school as ours, to keep it just what it ought to be. Under the capable leadership of their officers; Arthur MacMahon, president; Ruth Brown, vice-president; Marion Quinlan, secretary; and Farley Malone, treasurer, all the members have helped to accomplish this work. IIIIIIMMIIIIMIIIMIIIIIMIIIIMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMHIIIIMIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIMIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIfllllllllllll THE FORUM THE FORUM THE Forum is nearing the end of one of the most gratifying seasons it has ever enjoyed. So great has been the demand for admission that the membership limit had to be raised from fifty to seventy-five, and the number is rapidly approaching that mark. It is a source of great satisfaction to all concerned that the Sophomores and Juniors are so well represented, for it assures the success of the club next year. For its literary activity, the Forum has adopted the Senate plan of procedure, which proved so efficient last year. The debates held in this manner have been very instructive, and the succeeding free-for-all discussions have done much toward perfecting every member in the art of extemporaneous speaking. This routine has been relieved during the year by a mock trial and occasional parties. The Forum, besides this work, has also found time to take a lead- ing part in the affairs of the school. The annual Public Speaking Con- test was held under its auspices, and the Binghamton Debate was effi- ciently managed. A large dance at the Masonic Temple also proved to all present that the Forum was as capable in a social way as in debating. The club can indeed congratulate itself upon the possession of Mr. Hogue as faculty adviser. His sane advice and unfailing loyalty to the interests of the Forum have been a great factor in its success. The capable officers of the Club this year follow: President ................................ Walter Vieweg Vice-president................................ Innis Lyon Secretaries ............... Florence Hassett, Stuart Cole Treasurer................................ Raymond Howes Forum Editor...............................George Connelly Sergeant-at-arms...............................Elias Miller THE DEBATING TEAM FOR the third successive year, E. F. A. has proven itself superior to the Binghamton Central High School in debate. The winning team was composed of Innis P. Lyon, leader, Raymond F. Howes, J. Leo Buckley and Lawrence Kolb, alternate; Miss Geraldine Quinlan acting as team coach. The dehate was held Friday evening, March 26, in the auditorium, before a crowd of nearly nine hundred people. The Academy boys upheld the affimative of the question: Resolved: That the Open Shop is more advantageous to the Employer, the Employee, and the General Public than is the Closed Shop. Every member of the team did his part well, but the extraordinary eloquence of Innis Lyon, the leader, was the outstanding feature of the debate. The Academy excelled especially in rebuttal, a fact that reflects great credit upon the Forum, to whose training in this respect every member of the team is indebted. The judges; Dr. Martin F. Summberbell of Starkey Seminary, William E. Utterback of Cornell, and George C. Curtiss of Rochester University, awarded the decision unanimously to E. F. A’s. representa- tives, thus again giving us possession of the Amherst Cup. It was the expectation of those interested in the matter, that three victories would entitle ns to permanent possession of that beautiful trophy, but, much to the disappointment of all, this hope was discovered to be unfounded. Nevertheless, the school is justly proud of the record made by its debaters, not only this but also of former years. May this record remain unbroken in the years to come. Illllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllll THE VINDEX THE Vindex has lived up to the high reputation that it has gained in former years. Every number has been interesting and instructive, and the literary standard set by the Vindex boards of other years has been easily equalled, if not surpassed. Innis Lyon and Venna Decker have proved to be clever editors, and the business staff under Walter Vie- weg has worked long and faithfully to make every issue a financial success. The editors have been assisted in the literary work by Naomi Davis, Jennie Marks and Gertrude Romer, literary editors; and Florence Hassett, George Connelly, Frances Armstrong, Jack Sullivan, and Verna Baxter, representing, respectively, the Student Council, Forum, Agora, Sports and Orchestra. The business staff was composed of Jack Nichols, Assistant Business Manager; Rogers Churchill, Advertising Manager, with Arthur MacMahon and Richard Heller as assistants; and Elias Mil- ler, who, with the help of Everett Howes, took charge of the circulation. As is always the case, the success of the Vindex has depended to a great extent upon its advisors; Mrs. Doyle, Literary; Miss Youmans, Art; and Mr. Potts, Business. What has been done once can be done again, and if next year's Vindex board is aided by the same teachers, its success will be as ours has been—assured. Illllllll■lll■■llllllll■lllllllllll■lllllllllll■llllllllll■llllllllllllllllllllllllll■■llllll■lllll■■lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll■llllllllllll■lllll SYNTELEIA AGORASTIKE SYNTELEIA Agorastike, the Commercial Club, was organized February 5, 1920, by the students of the Commercial Department of Elmira Free Academy. Although the Club had a very late start, it has shown everyone that it has the ability to “get there just the same.” The main purpose of the club is to promote education. This has been accom- plished by the frequent Wednesday morning assemblies that were held for tne benefit of the commercial students. The main feature of each of these assemblies has been a talk given by a man from the business world who had specialized in some certain line of work. Mr. James S. Scoon, President of the Retail Service Association of El- mira, gave a very interesting talk on “Salesmanship and What the Employer Expects of his Salesmen;” Mr. Guy W. Shoemaker, President of the Southern Tier Motor Co., gave a very good one on “The Qualifications of a Good Stenographer;” Mr. Frank E. Tripp, advertising manager of the Elmira Star-Gazette, gave a very interesting ana instructive talk on advertising. Besides these valuable speeches, Mr. S. G. H. Turner, President of the Second National Bank gave a talk on “The Federal Reserve System and Mr. Louis C. Andrews of the State Income Tax Bureau, gave one on The Income Tax.” These talks gave the students ideas of various lines of work and aided them to decide more fully what they were best fitted to do upon leaving school and entering the business world. The members of the club are certainly very grateful to these gentle- men, who left their own work and came to help the club. At each of these events the members of Miss Grube’s second year Shorthand classes took down the words of the speaker, so that they might get the practice and study the speech afterward in order to get every point. This was a great aid to the stud- ents in getting up speed in writing shorthand notes, and it gave them an idea of what reportorial work would be like. Even those that did not take the talk down in shorthand got a great deal of good out of it, because Mr. Potts required his Commercial English class to prepare a talk for the recitation period on the subject of the morning’s speech. The other com- mercial teachers often times required a summary of the talks in their classes. And so it was that every student simply had to get some valuable knowledge about the subject in question. Not that this was hard work! The speeches were so crowded with inter- esting and valuable bits of information that one wanted to remember them. And the Club’s social affairs! We were new. The school wanted to see if we had any “pep” and could put over a successful party. We tried it, and those that attended had to admit that we know how to entertain as well as to educate. All these things have helped bring the teachers and the students together. They have created a spirit of comradeship between them. The students often felt almost inclined to call the teachers by their first names; they did call us by our first names, sometimes. We found out that these teacheers were such all ’round good sports it made us feel that we owed it to them to study more and to help them all we could. The officers of the Club for this term were: Myrtle A. Wright, president; Helen Lutz, vice-president; Helen L. Carey, secretary and Frederick J. Leverich, treasurer. These officers have acted very capably in their offices and have been “Johnny-on-the- spot” when any Club work was to be done. The faculty members that have helped so much and to whom the Club feels so deeply grateful are Mr. Frank E. Potts, Miss Elizabeth Grube, Miss Lucy D. Leverich, Miss Vera M. Bange, and Miss Martha Goldberg. The Club members that are seniors leave this year, but they certainly appreciate even so short a stay and are unanimous in their good wishes for its future success. Three cheers for Synteleia Agorastike!

Of the actors in the more serious roles, George Connelly as “Gladwin,” and Carlton Sutter as “Wilson,” the villian, easily excelled, while Elias Miller, in the comic part of “Michael Phelan, Officer 666, was the hit of the evening. The roles of Helen Burton,” “Sadie Small,” and “Mrs. Burton were acted exceptionally well by Naomi Davis, Lucia Clifford, and Anne Sullivan. To say that Mary Butcher made a line Japanese servant would he putting it mildly. Though in a secondary part, Asa Bement surprised all by his abil- ity and received his share of applause. Howard Spencer, Farley Malone and Thaddeus Myers showed themselves well fitted for their parts, and (ack Sullivan, Thomas Koenig and Stuart Cole, the silent cops,” added much to the excitement and enjoyment. The success of “Officer 666” is one more tribute to the ability of Mrs. Doyle as a coach, for it was largely through her efforts that the play was so well presented. THE AGORA IN the fall, Mr. Parker asked the Junior girls if they cared to form a Debating club. The girls were enthusiastic and so, as a result, the Agora came into existence. In November the following officers were elected: president, Marian Quinlan; vice-president, Irene Borick; secre- tary, Goldene Friedman; treasurer, Gladys Roberts. The girls have worked hard for the success of the club and now with the school year drawing to a close, have a full membership. Miss Callahan and Miss Quinlan, faculty advisors, have worked faithfully all the year, and The Agora is deeply grateful to them for their help. The Agora has been a great help to the Junior girls and in the future, when girls of other classes are taken in it is hoped that the Agora will be one of the most important organizations in the school.

THE Senior Class decided early in the year that a first class Glee Club was needed in the school, and consequently, with its usual prompt- ness, immediately organized one from its own members. Mr. O’Brien, selected as leader, has turned out a musical combination that is a credit not only to the class, but to E. F. A. as a whole. Several times the Glee Club has been called upon to sing at assemblies or entertainments, and its selections have always been received with merited applause. Its. influence has been felt in another way, however, for no organization has been a greater factor in awakening the spirit of good fellowship that should be prevalent among the members of any and every class. If other classes follow our example in this matter, they will never regret it. The following are members : First Tenors—Farley Malone, Lawrence Stannard, George Hanlon.

As the weather was still warm, the gym was not over-crowd- ed ; nevertheless, the stock of refreshments vanished rapidly, and a large enough sum was realized to give the Year Book a flying start on its career. Everybody enjoyed himself, and all were satisfied. SENIOR RECEPTION October 31 will always be remembered with pleasure by all that attended the Senior Reception. The afifair was a wonderful success in every respect, and the class of ’20 has a right to feel proud that its en- deavors to have the “best ever” were so well rewarded. The Masonic Hall was appropriately trimmed in blue and white, streamers of these colors forming the principal scheme of decoration. Knapp’s Orchestra delighted everyone with its jazziest fox trots and one-steps and its dream- iest waltzes. Colored lights and confetti added variety and excitement to the program, Miss Mildred Gardner deserved the applause she received for her well-executed glow worm dance with its accompanying beautiful moon-light effect. Refreshments were enjoyed late in the evening. That everyone had a good time is certain. As one E. F. A. gradu- ate expressed it, “I never had a better time in my life,” and we all agree with him.

F. A., namely the great and glorious Senior Circus, added to the brilliant history of the Class of 1920. Our publicity manager, Innis Lyon, speaking in Assembly, pictured so lucidly—not to say luridly—-the wonders to be shown that a record crowd appeared promptly at 8:00 o’clock. The huge audience scarcely had time to seat itself before the grand entry took place. This was made very effective and striking bv the Sym- pathy Band. Their costumes excited much admiring comment. As to their music—the audience soon learned why the band was called “Sym- pathy,” and, if given a chance, would doubtless have displayed its extreme emotion in a substantial manner. The sideshows were intensely interesting and instructive. Our strongman displayed his mighty muscles to the gaping crowd, and the baby show, the fish pond, the fortune teller, the wild man, and the three-shots-for-a-nickel booth were well patronized and added a great deal to the genuine circus atmosphere of hilarity. At nine o’clock, dancing began, to the jazzy music of the Walzer Novelty Orchestra. A strict surveillance was kept bv the Senior Private Police Force, and those found guilty of illegal dancing were fined by Judge Delario. The evening proved most entertaining and profitable both to the guests and to the Senior Class. Barnum and Bailey never gave a show that was more appreciated. GET-TOGETHER PARTY Following the precedent established by the Class of 1919, the Class of 1920 has decided to hold a “Get-together party at the Academy toward the close of the school year. This event will be modeled after the former one, which was most successful, and which paved the way to a better understanding between parents and faculty. Seniors and their parents will be invited, and the capable committee already appointed, promises us an affair that will equal, if not surpass, the efforts of last year’s class. AUT. HSZFrZ AT LAKE.

Difficnlties of various kinds have at times made the discontinuance of the schedule seem almost imperative, but every loyal fan hopes that these difficulties can be overcome, and that E. F. A. can be still in the field at the end ot the year. The record thus far is: E. F. A 15 Starkey Seminary 4 E. F. A 16 Elmira Heights 3 E. F. A 18 Corning F. A 10 TRACK TRACK has again proven itself a popular form of athletics at E. F. A. The team has had very little chance to show its prowess this year, having thus far participated in only one meet, but in that, the fel- lows certainly showed their mettle. Competing with representatives from both Co. L and the Y. M. C. A., our boys captured the individual trophy and a large share of the medals, losing the meet only on a tech- nicality. The team is planning to take part in several inter-scholastic meets at neighboring Universities, and hope to bring home as many medals and trophies as have the teams in former years.

Y.—Last evening in the main hall of the institution was held the twentieth annual reunion of the Class of 1920 of the inmates of the Elmira Free Academy. George F. Connelly and Elias F. Miller, cop- presidents of the Rahicpublic of Ireland officiated as toastmasters and stretcher bearers. Speeches were made by Prof. Raymond F. Howes, President demeritus of Ccrnhill University, The Rev. Thomas F. Malone, chaplain of the 13th tank corps, Dr. Tookus Q. Cole, the newly appointed trainer and fizz-sician to Stanitlaus Zbyscko Clendenin, the international indoor African golf champion of the world, and by Innis P. D. Q. Lyon, the noted author, whose volume on “Hoyle as I Rooked Him is running into its fourth large edition. After the speeches Cole’s Band rendered several delightful selec- tions including the famous “Carry me Home but Don’t Roll Me,” also from the pen of Mr. Lyon. One of the features of the evening was a series of classic and in- terpretative dances by Walter R. Vieweg, whose dances at the Winter Garden have called forth much admiring comment from the press and presses. Mr. Vieweg was assisted by Miss Marks, of the Follies, whose dancing has crowded the Garden since its opening night 37 years ago. MANSFIELD’S Chocolates FOR . . THE . .

University of Buffalo COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY Session of 1920-1921 Buffalo is one of the most beautiful, healthful and enterpris- ing cities in the country. The cost of living is very reasonable and the Dental Building is located in one of the best downtown sections of the city. The classes at the Dental School are limited in number, so that each student will have the personal supervision of the professor. The opportunity for practical training at the chair is unsur- passed. There are over one hundred operating chairs and the clinic is so large that the student may become familiar with every phase of dental practice. The technic and scientific laboratories are thoroughly up to date and the equipment is modern in every respect. Preliminary requirement for the Sessions of 1920-21 and 1921-22 . The satisfactory completion of a four year course in an approved high school, including one year each of chemistry, physics and biology. Preliminary Requirement for the Session of 1922-23 A dental student certificate may be obtained after January 1, 1922, upon the presentation of satisfactory evidence of the com- pletion of not less than one year of instruction in any approved college of liberal arts and science, after the completion of an ap- proved four year high school course, based upon eight years of elementary preparation. The year of college instruction must be of at least fifteen week hours, including English 3, physics 3, biology 3, and chem- istry 3- For further information, address DR. DANIEL H.

Yet it is a fact that most merchants in smaller towns and cities buy from a single manufacturer to sim- plify ordering and to take up less of their time in the collection of their stocks when in the market. The great objection to this, of course, is that their customers are offered the fashion trend as it is seen by a SINGLE designer; many other fashions are overlooked. Our buyers on their recent trip inspected the full lines of some fifty of the best reputed Ready- to-wear manufacturers. No wonder some women have actually complained that there are so many pretty styles here; it’s hard to determine on which is MOST BECOMING. TEPPER BROS.
