We think it very generous of them to notice our little Anna, who is really much younger than her looks would lead us to think, and who is likewise a little older than her membershipxin the class of 1915 would lead the populace in general to believe. This cute interesting group on our left is the Dan Cupid of EPA. We don't know quite what to make of him: charming, dignilied but rather superior, as he thinks. 'l'o say the least, Walter Bayne engages in con- duct totally unbecoming a minister's son. To begin with Walt was born, that being in- dispensable to his future. And what is more he has no apology to offer nor did he obtain per- mission from hs neighbors. When able to chatter he said, In tears amid the alien corn. Of course no one knew what was meant until years after when he explained that he in- tended to say, Give me, at least, this recompense-A little knot-hole in the fence.'l And he has been a baseball fiend ever since. An ardent lover of music and a pianist of unexcelled talent is Lillian Billow, and one who has the ability to comprehend thor- oughly the greatest master- piece both in our world of music and in our world of literature. She likewise possesses great cleverness in composing stories and poems of no small excell- ence. ln spite of being famed for all these unusual faculties, she has an amazingly low esti- mation of herself, and is entire- ly too apt to consider that everyone holds that same small opinion of her. Bud liinnerfotherwise known as Cordier PJ is one of the best looking roughnecks in sehoolg is but a kid in action, never having grown any older than twelve yearsg would be a shark in classes if his profs. did not discourage him by refusing to answer the brilliant, searching and impossible questions put to thetn.

5 All History of the Class of 1915 The history of the Class of 1915 is probably so well known, to those in school at least, that it hardly seems necessary to relate the many achievements that this class has made through its four year course in Evanston Academy. At the beginning of school in 1911, AKIF. Raymond, a third year, organized the class and, under his direction, bloc Nlayer was chosen for the presidency. Earle Hawxhurst was the president for the second semester of that year. In the fall of 1912 Fairbairn Smith, who deserted us towards the end of that year, took the helm and after a very successful sail he was followed by Imogene Voorhees who consid- ered herself too smart for us so moved on to the class of ,I4. 1913 found RI. NI. Shepard our president with S. K. NIcClure next on the list. In tl1e senior year Helen Hotchkin was elected president. After a snappy light at the mid-year polls Austin Van Deuscn was elevated to the leadership. 1915 started out very early to become known in the social line, for in its freshman year the class gave a social. Later on '15 launched a new project. The first subscription dance in connection with the Academy was given. This took place at the Klasonic Hall in Rogers Park. Still progressing in its third year a dance was held at St. Luke,s Parish House. ln November of 1914, the biggest and most successful dance of all was held at the Evanston Woman's Club. The plans forthe last semester include a play and dance in the late spring which promises to surpass all attempts at sociallity so far. It is useless to even start to enumerate our accomplishments, for they are many and big. It is l1Ot for us to judge whether our class has surpassed all of its prede- cessors. It is to be seen in the following years if our record should be an example. The class has been liberal in furnishing material to the many branches of life in the Academy. Its members excell wherever they are found, and they are found wherever there is any excelling to be done. XVe wish the seniors-to-come all kinds of success. Nfay they profit by our experience and succeed in those places, if there be any, where we have failed. f24l

He is like- wise a hard worker, and a good student. Helen IW. Cady is a product of China, and a mighty sweet looking one at that. lf she were only from some other foreign country we might look upon her with suspicion, but as it is China-no, we can't do it. Helen is an ardent member of Pieriag and besides being very bright, possesses a large quantity of that scarce com- modity known as common sense.
