AUijn? arfft ‘‘When love and study clash, let study go to smash.” Allyne is the most popular girl in our class if we judge by the number of her beaus. That fact probably accounts for her having so little time to spend on her school work. Another reason may be Allyne’s fondness for sleighrides and parties. She believes there will always be studying, but parties must be taken when they come. Already rumor says that instead of Commencement invitations, she contemplates sending wedding invitations. (Oral A. GHfompaott “Small is the subject but not so the praise.” Oral’s greatest fault is not wanting to study; she is always worrying about flunking her exams and getting low marks, but when the quarterly reports appear in the local papers her name always heads the Honor Roll. She is a member of “The Corner” and always ready for a good time. Oral is our President and has endless trouble in the class meetings, for the Senior’s have very decided opinions. After graduating, she expects to teach. ffliirirl t. Hputrca “Oh, my hair’s like a red, red rose.” Muriel, the future suffragette, is considered the most pious member of the class of 1914, but to this we cannot all agree. She enjoys a jolly lark as well as anyone, and loves to debate on woman’s suffrage and the W. C. T. U. She is ambitious by fits and starts. After allowing her work to accumulate for some time, she then studies frantically for ?. few days, until at last she is overcome by brain exhaustion and is forced to take a rest. She is planning for past graduate work next year. ffiarulti UHppppr “As idle as a painted ship, Upon a painted ocean.” When younger and below the High School, he used to make two grades in one year, but now it takes him two to make one. He is a dreamer and has beautiful visions of dances, sleigh rides, etc., and says the visions of school grind are vulgar and monotonous beside the others. He has ability and can do good work. He has never gone in for athletics much. “The devil of procrastination is an easy boss, but he pays low wages.” Wake up Wiepper, in time.

A. 'Hera fcJtiHi “Confound that bell! scarce have I slept One hour since into bed I crept.” Vera, the belle of our class, never has time for anything except dances and lost sleep. Occasionally she studies very hard in Biology, and manages with difficulty to hand her note book in at the appointed time. Perhaps some day after endless years of study and hard times, Vera will be a librarian, as she is thinking quite seriously of this vocation; if so, she will have to accustom herself to early rising. iluaaeU fll. idiyar “Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look.” Bumpy, as he is familiarly known, was captain of the basket ball team and is a general favorite with his classmates. He and Bill see that the rnysics apparatus is kept from getting dusty. He is a shark in Physics and spends much time in trying to convince Mr. Fetterolf that he has passed a back test. He is also a “crack” in drawing Biology specimens but he has strict orders to label all of tnem. He is not easily discouraged, however, and will surely be a success in life. iFrcriia (£. SulfttBon “Maiden with the meek brown eyes, In whose orb the laughter lies.” Here is the baby of our class, she is only—ahem. She is our poetess and talented musician. We had a hope that she would some day write the great American Epic. But it is feared she will never make her mark in that way because she is devoted to another Art, and she blushes if questioned concerning her future. Freeda is a brilliant history pupil and one night had a dream of taking three histories at the same time. Fear not “Freja,” dreams do not always come true. Esther fflrEaugtjlin “I love to wind my mouth up, I love to hear it go.” Esther is the most ambitious, talkative, flighty, brilliant, good-hearted and lengthy individual in the Senior Class. Still more adjectives are necessary to describe her complicated character. Esther is especially noteworthy in basketball; she gives her opponents no chance of beating for she has merely to walk to the basket and drop the ball in. Athletics, however, do not occupy her entire attention: in history and English she leads her class, and in all school afTairs can be depended upon to do her share.

.Ijolftt 31. itlrfflahim “When he's good he’s very very good, And when he's bad he's horrid.” Much might be told about John, but suffice it to say he is one of the most useful and at the same time one of the most nonsensical boys in our class. He is always busy getting out the High School newspaper, writing for the “Argus,” working up a a play, or holding someone's hand. He is one of our singers and frequently appears on musical programs. He says the secret of his fine voice is his broken heart. We hope John will succeed—in getting someone's hand to hold. iflutui £R. Iflrrkrr “By diligence she wins her way.” Mona is a member of “The Corner,” that gay little group on Senior side. She has contributed her share to the fun and hilarity of the group and will miss the many jokes and whispered conferences which brightened the grind of study. As soon as she is able to wade thru the terrible struggle of translating “Wilhelm Tell” she will be a happy, care free girl once more. But as her motto indicates, diligence has helped her and will help her to win in her undertakings. fttarij ftlulralui “Cause I'se wicked—I is and I can’t help it.” There is our mary with her charming gr—er, smile. Mary has been with us only two years but enters all our fun with the enthusiasm of an old timer. Mary's strong point( ?) was history this year; and physics last year. Her chief diversion is annoying Bumpy, who doesn't seem to mind it, but another one just as diverting is writing soap orders. Mary will enter her father's office in Olean next year. JJaulutr Narijrlii “A young woman with an independent air.” Pauline, our overworked treasurer, is always ambitious but not always calm. A tempest arises without warning and those overtaken by it usually recognize their plight. Undoubtedly she wifi overcome this failing, and in the near future will probably teach the primary pupils of our schools. “Phene” also shines as a basket ball player but she never appears in public, playing only with a few others of her stature. She is certain to make good in whatever she undertakes.
