.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.

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.

— William iB. Nargelu “Faith and I can cut a caper.” And he can too; just ask the teachers. But tho Bill loves a lively time and delights in teasing, he is one of our strongest students and has made a satisfactory record in his work. He has always been interested in athletics, especially track and basket ball. No small measure of the strength of the Senior team was due to his loyalty and hard playing. Next year will probably see Bill at State College. We know he will give a good account of himself and make us all proud of him. iEutuih lirllr (Olmstrati There’s nothing like fun, is there?” Just to look at Ennah’s picture is enough to tell what kind of a girl she is. She is the life of “The Corner” and anyone who sits beside her in class is liable to be disturbed by her antics or quaint sayings. Just at present she is interested in the planet Mars and her graduation clothes. But Ennah says she is not nearly as silly as she used to be and that she now has serious thoughts once in a while. SU'rtlta II. £ yrurrr ‘A quiet lass; there are but few ” Here is a very modest and shy young lady, though her picture may not betray that fact. She is very fond of studying, especially the books given out for reference work. She can blush charmingly, but she is more apt to sputter with great energy if the boys bother her. She is a member of “ Hie Corner,” and has helped in those famous conclaves held in their special nook. But she has worked hard too, and we all hope for her success. (Christim prakrr Alias Sprak, alias Aunt Leuphelia “Built mosquito like, long and thin.” Miss Dignity Decorum, our sedate classmate, is noted for her criticising speeches, old maidish attitude and everlasting hunger. Her special aversions are boys(?), soap orders and physics. Her usual occupation is talking, or trying to keep Bill in order. She is going to take a domestic science course in Rochester; then she intends to return to her alma mater and teach the students how to prepare beefsteak “smothered in onions,” or Welsh rarebit.
