THE 1915 SENIOR ANNUAL Photos by McClusky BEATRICE CAROLYN DE Garmo. “B” “Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls to the flowers and be their sun.” Whew! Dees eez di French Man'neselle from appearance de name. But on the contrary “B” is a loyal American citizen. She is much interested in the stock market and has a corner on Wheat. For further particulars see Sara Scott. HELEN MAE Dorr “He is a fool who thinks by force or skill To change the current of this woman's will.” Here is a gentle-eyed soul who is really more in- telligent than she appears. Helen is very averse to arriving at school before nine o'clock and, hush! I will tell you a secret but don’t mention it aloud. Ssh—she is a musical genius with a—stick of gum. RutTH ELizaBETH Evans. “Ruthie.” “To see her is to love her And love but her forever.” There is someone in Lee Center who thinks so, isn’t there, Ruth? No one would believe it to look at her but Ruthie loves to eat. She is a good exam- ple of the old quotation ““We must eat to live and live to eat.” LeEsLiE FAULDs Heads up, gentlemen; this is the only and original Leslie Faulds, otherwise popularly and properly known as “‘Les. ’ Leslie’s originality lies in his abil- ity to sell ““The best cylinder oil in the world,” and last but not least to manage, with the skill of a jug- gler, that Overland. He is one of the head in- structors of the Trig. class, and is one of the bril- liant six who sailed thru Solid Geometry.

THE 1915 SENIOR ANNUAL MELVILLE GEORGE COLLINS “Business before pleasure.” This picture depicts a civil engineer, a lecturer, a philanthropist and a knight of the fair sex (?). He is a big booster in Track and Field and his only am- bition is to have a good track team in the Academy. We wish him the best of luck. Howarp EDWARD COUNTRYMAN La . Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.” Howard isn’t half as bad as he looks. He is a very quiet chap, able to attend to his own business and leave other people's business alone. Burning midnight oil is nothing new to Howard. Mary CHRISTINE CRAIG. “Polly” “Happy am I; from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me?” Here is an innocent creature wholly without guile. Original sin is her only excuse for mumps. Cornell is a college dear to Mary's heart and from the num- ber of letters postmarked “Ithaca” we judge that the college is not the main attraction. Recitation. Honor. Witiis Upson DANIELS “True greatness is sovereign wisdom.” Surely the class of 1915 is lucky in having such a brilliant youth. He shines like a star of first magni- tude. He is not a grind but he studies assiduously— if you know what that means. He hasn’t much in- terest in the ladies as yet, but that will come in time. Photos by McClusky

CLypE BEACH FELSHAW. “Hank” “I love the Ladies.” A meteor sailing over Lee Center deposited this burden and since then Clyde has always tried to shine. He is without doubt the mathematical, scien- tific and linguistical genius of the class. I fear it must be known that this young prodigy is a woman hater. He has been known to walk to school three feet behind an attractive young lady, and never take advantage of this unusual opportunity. M ARGARET ELIZABETH FLAcK. ‘“‘Marmie.” “‘Things are seldom what they seem, Skim milk sometimes turns to cream.” Yes, Marmie, you do look innocent but—just ask the girls who sit around her, who stuffs their rub- bers with paper wads? Her dealings with the male sex have been many and varied but she believes in the old proverb “Variety is the spice of life.” Jack SUMNER FULLER “It is the man who takes in, Who can give out.” This short, sawed off, hammered down piece of humanity has a great interest in the canning business. By his experiments in the physics class, he is con- stantly giving new ideas to the world of science. He has no interest in the opposite sex. PauL RICHARD ERNEST GOETZ Jr. “Hoch der Kaiser.” This cheerful looking sample of genius homo has taken up Chemistry as a specialty since coming to R. F. A. and has progressed so far that he can really tell H2O from H2S by the odor. One of his other accomplishments is that of a Chauffeur. He is sec- ond to none in taking corners and incidentally trees, fences, telegraph poles, etc. He is a very near rela- tive to Kaiser Wilhelm. Foot Ball. 1915 SENIOR ANNUAL Photos by McClusky
