Paris T. Carlisle, Jr. ■‘A silver-tongued orator.” Secretary of class, secretary of Business Com- mittee of the Eidolon, member of Alpha Phi, Sec- retary of Athletic Association, member of Deuts- cherVerein. P. T is a remarkably good student. He studies hard, but has a good time along with his work. His accomplishments are numerous and varied, but his poultry and milling interest sur- pass all else. No mischief is planned and carried out without having Paris for the leader. Yet he always manages to escape without having to pay a grave penalty. He is a fine bluffer, and can get into mischief without getting into the slightest trouble. He has done much for the development of the Eidolon ; he is friendly’ with everyone and is sure to win, if for no other reason than because of his agreeable and gener- ous disposition. Thomas Carlisle Collins ‘‘Laugh, and the world laughs with you.” Member of Alpha Phi, and Athletic Asso- ciation. Dick is a quiet, unobtrusive and bash- ful chap. To a casual observer he woidd ap- ptar to be very sober, but those who are well acquainted with him enjoy his witty sayings and his hearty laugh. It it a sure cure for the blues to be with him. He seems very quiet when young ladies are present; but the old proverb that ‘‘still waters run deep,” may apply in this case ; so girls beware! Carlisle, you take undue advantage of us when you present all the girls who sit near you with a box of can ly. Talk about your dead game sports ! Isn’t this an example? 17

Elizabeth N. Aldred, “We love her for her wealth of womanhood, her quiet manner, her sweet replies.” As her name would imply, Betty is very lova- ble, modest and reserved. She is a faithful stu- dent, and has made every moment of her Senior year count. She is one of the brightest girls in the class, and has done a great amount of study- ing Betty has not had time to take any active part in class work, but to have this honest sincere girl for a friend is a favor which those who enjoy the privilege prize highly, anil which those who do not enjoy it should seek. She is a member of Alpha Phi. Athletic Association, and Deutscher Verein. Blanche A. Blocksom. “To be merry best becomes her.” Secretary of Alpha Phi, member Athletic As- sociation and Deutscher Verein Tom came to Mil- ford from Saratoga and joined our class in the So- phomore year, and her popularity has constantly increased since she made her debut in the High School. She is a great lover of all sports, espec- ially those of the school. The fact that she is alive contradicts the sayingthat the good die young. Next to sawing a violin, her favorite occupations are looking at fashion plates and trying to play bridge. She is always busy, and carries on fully as much correspondence as all the school put together. Many of her letters come from the other end of the room.

Emma Welch Davis. “How far that little candle throws its beams.” Member of Alpha Phi and Athletic Associa- tion and Deutscher Verein. You might think on looking at Emma's picture that she was large, but she isn’t. That is, of course, physically. To see her you wrould wonder how such a small person could have the heart and brain she has. She is al- ways ready to lend a helping hand, and is never too busy to give any desired assistance. If you want anyhting done, go to Emma. She has a won- derful intellect, a modest disposition, and a heart of pure gold. Her friends are many, may they never cease to increase. Mary Draper. “Here’s a true industrious friend -God bless her.” Member of Alpha Phi, Literary Editor of Eidolon, member of Deutscher Verein. Mary’s chief fault, if it may be called a fault, is her unwillingness to get up and speak out. In class meetings she has wonderful ideas and plans, but somebody always has to explain them for her. Notwithstanding this, Mary is one of the best students, and also is very good company. For some years she has been the first aid to the unprepared in English and Latin, and altogether a very good friend in time of need. Her compositions are the wonder of the class, and we have never ceased to marvel at the marks she gets on them. We fully expect to hear some day of the famous novelist, Miss Draper, whom we used to know as just plain Mary. 18
