OFFICERS OF SENIOR CLASS Harriet Grant Esther Pease Ruth Frost Beatrice Briggs President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Memorabilia Seniors! Now that we are counting the days instead of the years before we shall leave our Alma Mater, we — sad, philosophical creatures of tradition — at last have assumed the attitude of the retrospective. We begin to summon the experiences of the past four years and to give theni proper mental hie, lest we forget. Freshman days: days when life was decidedly in the anticipatory stage, for who could conjecture with any degree of certainty the next opportunity which the Sopho¬ mores might give us to display our inherent or acquired talents? Sophomore days: the tables turned, for suddenly we realized how collegiate we were, and how it devolved upon us to train others in the way they should go. Junior days: upperclass dignity, “little” sisters, the things called privileges, Colon¬ ial Party, and finally, caps and gowns. Yes, all in one year. And now, it has been a strange and wonderful experience, this being a Senior, but our last year has been the busiest, the happiest, and the dearest of them all. We in¬ trusted ourselves to the hands of Harriet Grant and Doris Cooper, an d wisely have they guided us through the narrow straits of Senior-dom. It is with a bit of the wis¬ dom of the sages, a bit of the consolation of philosophers, and very much of the wistfulness of Seniors that we realize college days will soon be — only memories, but surely, “Memories that ne’er shall fade.” ' Dorothy Evelyn Allen Central Square, N. Y. From the crown of her head to the sole of her foot, she is all mirth.” Smiles, giggles, dimples—overshadowed by big brown eyes. The world would do anything for Dot; but she in her charming way gets even, for Dottie would do anything for the world—and is doing her bit all the time by scattering happy smiles and sunshine along her way.

And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew; That one small head could carry all she knew. Could it be possible? Yes, indeed, it would take an army of words to mention the list of deep subjects in which our “Beckie” has a deep interest. Psychology, Classics, pedagogy, and English Litera¬ ture are only a few. Vice-Pres. Elea (j); Pres. Elea (4). Rena Beatrice Briggs Deposit, N. Y. “In books, or work, or healthful play.” Efficiency plus! That’s Bea, no matter what the task. A charming brunette whose snappy black eyes can say almost anything andyet always leave that delightful uncer¬ tainty as to just what has been said. There’s Bea as Sophomore president, Bea as one of 2.7’s athletes, Bea with the last word in the Glee Club Quartette numbers. Pray tell us, is there anything that Bea can’t be? Sec.

Elea (j, J). Marjorie Adora Clayton Rockville Center, N. Y. The play’s the thing.” Puzzle: Find a word which is synono- mous with dramatics at Keuka. Answer: Marge. Though Marge is a shark in her studies, a talented executive of her class, and a score of other enviable things, we shall remember her most as a dramatic star, a capable coach, and an efficient president of Arion Club.

Let her speak, and whatever she say; Methinks I should love her the more.” A perfect complexion, the most adorable dimples that ever grew, and a smile that’s contagious! That’s Doris. And beauty is more than “skin deep” in this instance, too, for deep down under the epidermis, a little to the left of “center chest” is a heart that is filled with beautiful secrets. Yes, Doris, we all “want to make a smash mit you.” Glee Club ( , 2, j, 4); Dram. Club fSec. 1, 2); Treas. Mohawks (2); Keukonian Staff ( , 2, f); Crew (2); Kiondaga Staff (j); Elea (j, 4); Pres.

Few words betoken much wisdom.” Catherine is another one of those elusive creatures who apparently believes that Seniors should be seen and not heard. But if you want something done — quickly, efficiently, and cheerfully — you will never ask the wrong person if you just ask Catherine. z6 Lily May Fillmore Hillsboro, N.B., Canada “How poor are they that have not patience” Casual, quiet, of a certain philosophical temperament is Lily May. She’ll never take the prize as the noisiest girl in college, but her helpful presence is appreciated. Lily May loves the work for which she is preparing, so half her battles are already won. Student Volunteers (2, 5, 4); Elea (j, 4). Ruth Elena Frost Watkins, N. Y. “None knew her but to love her; none name her but to praise .” “Reggie” is another of those “hard-to- get-acquainted-with” girls, but for those who do find the way to her heart, there is a treat in store, we are told. And even we who are not so fortunate have for four years been not unaware of “Reggie’s” attract¬ ive smile and certain charming ways on which she holds the copyright. Crew (2, 4); Sec. Class (4). Eunice Isabel Gardner Smyrna, N. Y. Sing away sorrow, cast away care. Although Eunice has proved that she takes life rather seriously by her enthus¬ iasm in the work of the League of Women Voters, we are happy to announce that she is not an extremest in this viewpoint. Anyone who claims to know the least bit about this attractive Senior can testify that she is not conducive to worry. Quite the contrary, Eunice ushers in an atmos¬ phere of “At peace with the world.” Any healthy college needs at least one girl just like Eunice. Class Basketball (2, Capt. y); Dram.

For none but herself can be her Parallel.” Unusually clever in dramatics, a good scholar, always a charming humorist, Char, has that which the gods give to those they love: the spirit of Eternal Youth.

Worth, courage, honor, these indeed Your sustenance and birthright are.” Efficiency and capability, well seasoned with smiles and a bit of humor—is Harriet, pilot of ’2.7 through a happy Senior year. It could not be other than happy with Harriet at the helm, for she is bound to awaken hearty cooperation.Music is her choicest hobby, and an ardent follower is she of fair Euterpe.

Octavia Anne Gundrey Flushing, L. I. Blest with that charm, the certainty to please. Octavia is just “Bun” to all—the merest acquaintance or the most intimate friend. Her name seems immediately to suggest athletics, and little wonder that it should, for “Bun” has captured all the horfors which this field has to offer. May she continue to hold the floor and raise the roof. Glee Club fi); Class Basketball ( , 2, Capt. 3); Tennis Mgr.

Y. “True to her word, her work, her friends.” What more can we desire in a classmate than these qualities? Surely Gladys de¬ serves the best that life has to offer, for she has given her best to life. Elea (5, 4). Helen Lavena Hann Charlotteville, N. Y. ‘‘Smilin’ Thru.” Charming individuality, oodles of abil¬ ity, and good sportsmanship mean Helen. Unobtrusive is her presence, but her personality is felt throughout the college. If she never achieves further success, Helen deserves a few lines in “Who’s Who” solely on the basis of editing both the Kiondaga and the Keukotiian. Don’t you agree? Vice-Pres. Class ( ); Ch. Y. IV. Comm. (2); Crew (2, 3); Editor-in-Chief Kiondaga (j); Elea (j); Editor-in-Chief Keukonian (4); Inter- Collegiate Debate (4). Celida Eleanor Howard Rochester, N. Y. “Charm strikes the sight, But merit wins the soul. ” Celida did not join us until the begin¬ ning of her third year, but she has readily won our hearts; and we are proud to count her as a member of the class of ’2.7. An able athlete, an efficient Cabinet member, and an all-round pal is Celida. Class Basketball (j); Ch. Y. IV. Comm. (4); Treas. H. Ec. Club (4). 2-9 C Florence Hazel Hyde Appleton, N. Y. Whatever she did was done with ease In her alone ’twas natural to please.” Scattering sunshine is something that Florence doesn’t do “nothin’ else but.’’ Now, what is to be done with a girl like that? Brand her as one of the worthiest of Keuka’s daughters, graduate her with the class of ' zy, and pray that school-teaching will not alter her disposition. Meanwhile, we’ll wonder. Sec. Mohawks Treas. Mohawks (j); Treas. Class (j); Kiondaga Staff ff); Crew G, 4) Vice-Pres. Mohawks (4); Keukonian Staff G).. Eunice Edwina Jones —__. Clinton, N. Y. Our Eunice, always eager to help, ever cheering with her smile, her friendliness, and her sympathy. Besides all of this, Eu¬ nice has oodles of brains, of which fact we have oodles of evidence.

Y. “Accomplishments were native to her mind.” If “music hath charms to sooth the savage breast,’’ then we sh ould feel no qualms of fear should we learn that Betty had become a missionary in Africa’s wild¬ est jungle. However, we sincerely hope that she will remain in the civilized por¬ tions of the world and continue to charm audiences who love Betty as much as do we at Keuka.

G)- ' She never should have looked at us If she meant we should not love her.” Margaret Van No rden Lockwood Sonyea, N. Y. “That whiter skin of hers than snow, and smooth as monumental alabaster.” Poets throughout the ages have sung of beautiful ladies with “blue-black hair and snow-white skins.” Though Mar¬ garet possesses the rare combination of raven locks and fair complexion, we can find no bard in our midst whose lyre is equal to her charms. So in prosaic language we must commend her scholarship, as well as her speed and accuracy in her work. Orchestra (j, 4); Keukonian Staff (f); Ktondaga Staff (j); Elea (f). Dorothy Dell Morris Albany, N. Y. “Laugh and the world laughs with you. Through the corrider comes the echo as Dot unselfishly shares it with those about her—that characteristic little giggle which has more than once warded off a bad case of “the blues.” Esther Lois Pease Binghamton, N. Y. “Hang sorrow! care will kill a cat, And therefore, let ' s be merry. “Peter” is apparently an exponent of the theory that “The worid was made for fun and frolic.” At least, she seems to get in her share of merriment. Originality is “Peter’s” specialty, and it crops out in such a variety of ways—witty table talk, planning of unique decorations or enter¬ tainments, or even in stumbling on the stage in June play. But this is only one side of the story of “Peter.” Seriousness, stud¬ iousness, dependability,—all blend to make one harmonious and lovable nature. Student Government ( , Treas. 2); Dram.

Class (4J 4 Doubtless God could have made a better pal, but perhaps God never did.” A masterpiece in friendship, one whose smile is not erased even by sorrow, and one whose little laugh is always ready to set the world right. “Pauly” is a living witness to the fact that the best things come in small packages. Elea (j); Pres. Hist. Club (4); Treas. Mohawks (4); June Play ( , f); Class Bas¬ ketball 0). Dorothy Emma Rawson Cannonsvillc, N. Y. Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low An excellent thing in woman.” Dorothy Emma, let us explain, reduces at once to plain “Bob.” Yes, “Bob,” the girl with many charms. Her clear bell-like voice, her enchanting smile, and her flirta¬ tious eyes combine to make an altogether irresistible maiden. Ch. Y. IV. Comm. (7); Treas. Class (7); Treas. Y. W.

Generous and kind, ever loyal and true.” If you are in need, Lollie will come to the rescue with a willing heart. “What¬ ever I can, I will” is her slogan. She has those enduring qualities which can spring only from a sincere soul. Dram. Club (2, f). Q O Luva Bernice Snyder Penn Yan, N. Y. “Why worry? It will happen anyway And sunshine drives the rain away.’’ Her keen business ability, her jovial disposition, her artistic nature and win¬ some personality have won for Luva our lasting admiration. Sec.-Treas. H. Ec. Club (y); Elea (j), ' Adv. Mgr. Kiondaga (j). Lurilla Ivena Stothard Hilton, N. Y. “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” An all-round Keuka girl is Lurilla, worthy of her trust. One of ' zy’s para¬ mount athletes, an enthusiastic participant in dramatics, an exponent of jolly good fun. May the three magic girdles of health, wealth, and happiness encircle her life.

Few are the plays in which “Ev” has not had the lead. Listen to her triumphs—Martha, Mrs. Malaprop, Petruchio, Yung Lang Si, and so on “ad infinitum.’’ Her’s is a place that none can quite fill, and Keuka is loathe to lose so able an actress. “Ev” shines in the Dramatic Department, but her sunny disposition is felt all over the college, we might add.

P G 33 Gladys Vose Spencer, N. Y. “Little said is soonest mended.” Gladys is one of those creatures (often fortunate) who, somehow, just isn’t “quotable.” Slow to express herself; yet we feel sure that beneath this reserve Gladys is concealing a host of ideas which, if ever expounded, would change the whole course of time. Elea 0 , 4). Helen Wagner Schevenus, N. Y. “Last but not least.” Sometimes we can best determine what a “thing” is by finding out what it is not. Just to see if this method of definition works out with Seniors, let’s try it on Helen. Well, first of all, she is not so “good” as she often looks. Then, besides all that this implies, she is not a book¬ worm (just a nice temperate student); she is neither too lazy nor too ambitious; and, best of all, she is not at all disagree¬ able. Student Council (2); Sec. Class (2); Kiondava Staff G mmmmm OFFICERS OF JUNIOR CLASS Ruth Sowle Ruth Youngs Mildred Milbourn Catherine Groves President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer It’s such fun being—just a jolly Junior. Neither too fresh nor too salty (like the Freshman and the Sophomores); neither too rare nor too well-done (either of which a Senior is in danger of being), we are just that nice “happy medium.’’ My, don’t we love us, though? Yes, we do, but deep in our hearts we also aim to please. To the Freshmen—we trust we have been sympathetic “big sisters.” And the Sophomores—we can only hope that they have been able to forget that once we were loathe to “spare the rod and spoil the child.” Last of all, to the Seniors—we ask merely to be looked upon as pleasing products of their own multiple efforts. And to everyone in general, we hope we have justified our existence as Colonial hostesses, Yearbook enthusiasts, and as well-behaved twentieth century Tuscaroras. 35 a L 37 ' 39 4 1 1 l I I I 4 Z S 1 5CHUUL AHEAD go Slow . . .

No less than fourscore verdant young Frosh could be counted roaming about the campus on this memorable date. Truly, if green were not so restful to the eyes—well, we suppose that some Sophomores might have contracted a bad case of pink-eye. No doubt, you are beginning to think that the business of being a Frosh is a very colorful one—and you are quite right. Green was noticeably predominant until shortly before Christmas, when our beloved insignia were conducted to the Shades by our Sophomore “buddies,” and black became quite the vogue. Strangely enough, we felt rather blue for some time, but the indigo was not deep nor lasting. In the midst of all this confusion, we managed to function rather normally as a class. A tea for Mrs. Robert, initiation into the Onondaga society, and the Freshman entertainment gave opportunity for our debut into the social whirl of college life. All in all, we have enjoyed Freshman days, and it is with pleasure that we now look back upon the experience that comes but once in a life-time—being a Frosh. 43 Dora DePew Mary Kelly Gertrude Holden Jessie Beach Leona Wilbur Eleanor Young Dorothy Snow Frances Sears Marian Boynton Reba Masterson Evelyn Entwistle Virginia Edsall Frances Haskell Bernice Goodrow Rachel Perlet LaVerne Wassell Ruth Morrow Miriam Eddy Marian Mickel Lena Ryerson Imogene Cook Margaret Davenport Mary Coveney Sophie Novak Genevieve Carroll Edith Brace Doris Axtell Elizabeth Marshall First Row Pearl James Nancy Hunter Grace Holt Second Row Lois Stanley Katherine Pike Third Row Elizabeth Coker Frances Webb Fourth Row Edith Gibby Mildred Hallstead Fifth Row Alice King Jean Fisher Sixth Row Phoebe Armstrong Eveleen Rexford Seventh Row Ruth Fiske Lois Morse Eighth Row Elizabeth Goggin Marian Day Ninth Row Charlotte Burnett Mary Butler Tenth Row Ruth Putnam Edna Pettit Margaret Smith Marjory Herrick Beulah Herrington Katherine Scudder Helen McChesney Mary Tellier Virginia Dyer Jennie Gregory Phoebe Rhodes Rose Masiello Lucy Christien Emma Vail Katherine Fisher Jean Walrath Jean Weatherlow Mildred Rix Laura Zinke Mary Sanford Beatrice Palmer Reba Birtcil Alta Pepper Virginia Mason Gladys Lamphear Dorothy Bailey Louise Burtis Olive Anderson Marian Fox Elizabeth Lampe Thora Christensen 9 Between the Lombard sentinels A graceful sweep of field and wood That dip to Keuka’s sounding shore. wmm MEMBERS OF COUNCIL STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Student Government may at moments suggest black lists, chalk-lines, and penalties; but deep in our hearts it is symbolic of those ideals which Keuka cherishes most. Every girl is a member of the association and is encouraged to take an active interest in the organization through its regular Open Forum meetings. The Association is represented by a Council chosen from the student body to co¬ operate with the faculty in regard to mutual interests. The aims of the Association are: to formulate laws that express the will of the student and faculty concerning the organization and the conduct of those who come under its authority; to expose and uphold all such principles of justice and convenience as tend to promote scholar¬ ship and personal integrity; to establish and confirm such relations between faculty and students that shall enlist the active cooperation of all. Student Government is, perhaps, the most thoroughly representative organization at Keuka. It is the force which creates and maintains that elusive something which we call college spirit. OFFICERS President .Lurilla Stothard Vice-President . Mary Simpson Secretary .Elnora Bennett Treasurer . Edna Rickard 48 d Members of Cabinet Y. W. C. A. Girls in charming white dresses; an auditorium lighted only by the flickering rays of tall, graceful candles; the dying notes of “Follow the Gleam’’—another installa¬ tion service has passed into history; another year has been completed in the cycle of the Y.W.C.A. We feel the impressiveness of the ceremony, and once more we realize more fully for a moment the true meaning of the Y.W. to us at Keuka. The Y.W.C.A. is doubtless more truly representative of the ideals of service which are dear to every Keuka girl than is any other single organization. Part and parcel of the students through its committee system, the Y.W. functions in a wide scope of activities. Though decidedly a large contributory factor toward the much-cherished “Keuka spirit,” the Y.W. is not a campus organization. For the past two years it has been relating itself more definitely to the national ideals and aims of the Association by being represented at the Silver Bay Conference. As in previous years, we have contributed to the support of our Sister College at Madras, and have furnished funds for both Near East Relief and the Student Fellow¬ ship movement. When college days are but a memory, we will still treasure those ideals of Service of which the Blue Triangle is symbolic. 7 49 Executive Committee of Le Club Polyglottee Le Club Polyglotte An array of evening gowns; the soulful notes of “Valse Triste” filling the Audi¬ torium; a rush back-stage to get the artist’s signature — this is the thrill which Le Club Polyglotte brings to us from time to time during the college year. This organiza¬ tion aims to stimulate interest in the best of art, literature, and music through the programs which it offers. Under its auspices, such artists as Hans Kindler, famous ’cellist; Sasha Culbertson, Russian violinist; Alberto Salvi, the world’s most famous harpist; and others of comparable ability and prestige have appeared at Keuka. Long live Le Club Polyglotte! 50 INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATERS Seated, Marcia Clark Standing, Margaret Pitcher, Helen Snyder, Helen Hann 5 1 w c_ Elea Elea is the honorary literary society of Keuka and is under the direction of Miss Hall of the English Department. Membership is open to only those Juniors and Seniors who have maintained a minimum average of B in their English courses. On two evenings during each month the “wise old owls” perch about the fireplace in the lobby and listen to a report or a direct reading of literary prestige. This year the American short story has been the feature for discussion. Among the writers whose works have been represented in this survey are: Irvin Cobb, Robert W. Chambers, Edna Ferber, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Fannie Hurst, and Ben Ames Williams. OFFICERS President . Elizabeth Beckett Vice-President . Edna Fredericks Secretary .

Quite fre¬ quently do these demure maidens in charming costume, who promise to he first-class housewives some day, prove their present usefulness. Nor are these maidens mere servants. My, no. They manage to have their own share of good times. It may be a sumptuous banquet; it may be a helpful chat with an out¬ sider of experience; or it may be ju st trying new things to eat. But whatever the occasion, it is bound to be a delightful one. OFFICERS President . Beatrice Briggs Vice-President . Elizabeth Ormsby Secretary-Treasurer . Edith Barnes tV History Club Historic facts may be, for the most part, passe, but not so the History Club. Quite the contrary, it is one of the most recently organized and delightfully popular clubs at Keuka. Under the direction of Professors Winters and Blodgett, interesting discussions are held from time to time. Studies of particular fascination for those interested in history are conducted by both faculty and students. Aside from the attractive garbing of bare facts, the members of the History Club have enjoyed several trips to historical museums and places of general historic significance. President .

Do you like to discuss current problems, pro and con ? Would you like to know how to cast a vote when once you reach the mature age of twenty-one years? If you have been nodding your assent to these ques¬ tions, then you should join the League of Women Voters. The Keuka College Unit of this League was organized in 1915 and has enjoyed a steady growth in numbers and in scope of its activities. This year it has featured discussion of candidates for election, bills before the Legislature, and problems of child welfare. Besides the regular meetings, members of the League have enjoyed a regional assembly at Ithaca, have had several outside speakers, and have sent delegates to the State Convention at Syracuse. 55 r . Student Volunteers The Student Volunteers is an organization of girls who have planned to do foreign Christian work. This common objective unites these girls into a delightful group. Brief devotional services on Sunday afternoons, often with an outside speaker of experience, furnish companionship and inspiration for those who have accepted the Student Volunteer pledge as their criteria for Service. I OFFICERS OF DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION Evelyn Tomlinson President Marjorie Clayton Vice-President Lois Bird Secretary Beatrice Kenyon Treasurer Dramatics At Keuka “all the world’s a stage” and all the girls, with few exceptions, are members of one of the three dramatic organizations in operation. The Closed Club, admitting only those who satisfactorily meet a try-out commit¬ tee, are the Arions. They have, during the past year, busied themselves in producing one-act plays, which in the main have been serious in theme and significant in dram¬ atic treatment. Dunsany, Maeterlinck, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Constance D’arcy Mackay have been among the playwrights represented. In the late autumn the Club sent two delegates to Elmira to the Intercollegiate Dramatic Association conference. The Open Club is known as the Gargoyle ; and is under the direction of Evelyn Tomlinson. The Club has exhibited commendable enthusiasm and steady progress in dramatic endeavor. Embracing the two organized clubs and including scores of others who do not take an active part in dramatics, is the Dramatic Association. Through the efforts of this organization, we thrive on dramatics at Keuka. Scarcely a day passes that one does not catch some promising star rehearsing lines over the footlights, or perhaps, if one chances to live within certain yet unmeasured distances, within the privacy of her own room. o 57 OFFICERS OF ARION Marjorie Clayton President Evelyn Tomlinson Vice-President Bertha Gillette Secretary Helen Gifford Treasurer OFFICERS OF GARGOYLE Alice King President Elizabeth Weart Vice-President Gladys Lamphear Seer etary-Treasurer 58 r while we all met for a jolly good laugh at The Try sting Place - .i m “lo” and “char” starred in The Chinese Lantern and these oriental maidens recall The LAikado WHILE THE GYM OFFERED COLONIAL RESERVE 6o WHO IS IT? - WHY, IT’S MIN— 0 61 r REMEMBER “HON” AND “SAM” IN THAT IRRESISTIBLE JIG? and how “ev” accomplished The Taming of the Shrew y. 6 3 a Orchestra “Music hath charms,” and so have these maidens who are waiting to introduce you to the College Orchestra. Whether the occasion breathes the atmosphere of a formal recital or that of a frolic in the “gym,” the girls are on the spot with just the right air. Surely without this jolly group of musicians, many a social function, both at home and abroad, would lack that congeniality which our orchestra always induces. o 64 Members of Staff Keukonian Pass by a certain room on the ground floor of Richardson Hall and you will hear evidences of the fact that Keuka harbors young ladies with journalistic genius and ambition. Emitting from the keyhole, or perhaps, from the transom, you may discern such strange words as “galley proof, “dummy,’’ “printer’s copy.” Now, the upshot of all this discussion will come out a few days later in the form of the Keukonian , the weekly paper. With a larger staff than ever before, this publica¬ tion has proved itself to be a progressive college newspaper. It is, like a certain brand of coffee, “good to the last drop” (of the printer’s ink). Not to drop the dark meta¬ phor—there are oceans of “last drops” in every issue. 65 Kiondaga Staff Editor-in-Chief . Margaret Pitcher Associate Editor . Elizabeth Mead Business Manager .

These and many more treats tend to take the monotony out of college life, thanks to the Athletic Association. Supplemented by a Board of Control, the Association directs all athletic events of the year. Last winter an occasion of more than usual interest was the awarding of K’s to Octavia Gundrey, Dorotha Brown, and Marco Callahan. This is the highest honor a girl may receive in athletics, and is symbolic of clean sportsmanship, tech¬ nical skill, and general excellence. v C 67 All-Keuka Team Tea m! team! team! All together now, three cheers for the All-Keuka basketball Team! The members of the All-Keuka Team are selected by a committee from the Athletic Board of Control. Girls chosen for this honor are representative of the best all-round sportsmanship exhibited during the basketball contests. Members of the team this year are: Elizabeth Buchanan, Bertha Gillette, Margaret Rodger, Elnora Bennett, Alice Dougall, and Edna Dougall.

When the grapes ' rich p tin gent odor Rises and is wafted upward. Came they to the happy valley. To the valley by the lakeside, Where the laughing waters greet them, Greet the eager, hopeful maidens. Ever-seeking, ever searching For the ivisdom that th ey found not. Found not, till they moored their birch barks On the shores of Lake Keuka, On the sands of Point Neamo, Where the oak outspreads its branches. Where the all-wise Kiondaga Stretches forth its arms of wisdom, Flourished by its roots deep-seeking For the ivisdom of the ages. There the people gathered round them, Greeted them and gave them welcome; And the great Chief of the people Smiled upon them, gave them greeting. Opened wide his stately wigwam To the maidens, bade them enter. And he told them many stories. Stories of the winding valley; Flow the people lived with Nature, Growing stronger in her likeness; How she taught them all her secrets. Secrets known to those who love her. Four times fell the snows of winter. Four times Spring new life aivakened. While the maidens dwelt among them. Dwelt they underneath the oak tree In the shadows of the hillsides. Learning how to serve their people. And the hills that towered above them Ever led them onward, upward, To the height of understanding. To the heart of the Eternal. S.

O UR Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, says: “To get ahead you must have a plan — Hit or miss methods won’t do; in the accumulation of money they are POSITIVELY FATAL.’’ Spend wisely and plan to lay something aside regularly and systematically. In that little difference betiveen what you earn and what you spend lies financial power. The CITIZENS BANK OF PENN YAN PENN YAN, N. Y. Quality Groceries and Lynch-FullerCorp. Inc.

JUDD, Rochester Manager Instinct and Reason TNSTINCT is that unconscious impulse, that original gift perfect from the start and to which the future will add nothing; that some¬ thing which teaches the bird to build her nest, the bees to construct their combs, the ants their hillock, the beaver his dwelling, the spider her web. D EASON is that divine gift to man by which he links cause with effect; it is the tribunal before which our shortcomings should be summoned and made to answer whether we are less provident than the insect which is guided by a knowledge gained without a teacher. Let us assist you in carrying out certain financial plans which reason dictates should he made for the future.

If you don’t mind our approaching you rather apologetic-like, we will attempt to vindicate our procedure upon this particular page. Yes, we’re that type. Well, exhaustive research has led us to the deep conviction that no literary exercise of such import as the 19x7 Kiondaga should reach the general public without a few hints as to the particulars therein. Why, didn’t the celebrated Spectator sense the need of giving his readers a score of facts concerning himself and his work? Should not we, then, the Staff, hasten to inform you — not as to when we discarded our rattles —but as to some of the why’s and wherefore’s of the contents of this book? And to refer you to a more modern example (please don’t let the analogy jar your aesthetic sense), does not Bernard Shaw avert the critics by filling his books with prefaces? Now that you have our number, w e will proceed. This has already been called the Key to the Kiondaga, but upon second thought, perhaps a whole bunch of keys will have to be called on to carry out this little experi¬ ment. In fact, should you look about a bit, you would find this bunch of keys in your very midst—not always in the same pocket or on the same ring—but, nevertheless, bound by one or two common ties. Well, let’s listen to the jingle of the keys: Editor: The book is called the Kiondaga Of Beauty — that’s the theme. If you’re not represented well, Then join the lake, the hills, the streams. Associate Editor: Well, what’s this yearbook all about? I’ll offer this rebut: If you’re not pleased with your account, The best, no doubt, was cut. Business Manager: I haven’t straightened up accounts— That is, right up to date, you know; But what’s a troublin’ me the most Is where that surplus all will go. IIZ Key to the Kiondaga — (Continue STAFF STUFF Advertising Manager: “It pays to advertise,” they say, But even this job has its flaws; So if you notice any error, You’ll know ’twas not without a cause. Art Editor: If this book won’t match your room, Or the panel doesn’t suit your form; Please remember, in this case, “Art for art’s sake” is our norm. Photographic Editor: I’m to blame for all the pictures, Though I can’t be for your faces. We’ve made three errors in this line, But “there’s a reason” for such disgraces. Write-up Editor: I’m the one to get the “razz” For all the things I’ve said of you; But ive consider lines and pages, Not to say just what is true. Organization Editor: I don’t know as I can tell So many secrets dark and deep; For all I’ve done, it seems to me, Is juggle words up by the heap. Faculty Adviser: The key one finds in this position Just doesn’t seem to turn so well: But if it should, the secrets there, No doubt, would cast an awful spell. Thus endeth the jingle of the Keys. 113 m U n t
