We, the Editors of the 13th Senior Annual of the Rome Free Academy, extend our thanks to the various members of the faculty for the faithful co-operation which they have given us to make this Annual a glorifying success, which we hope it has been. Much credit is also due to S. Harry Beach Jr., ‘16, who has assisted us in this publication by his excellent cartoons. This year several new features have been inaugurated, the most important being the change in typography, and the quality of paper used, being India tint with brown ink, the literature and joke sections, etc. It is earnestly hoped that the numerous anecdotes will not be taken seriously, but in the spirit in which they are written. If your name does not appear upon these pages do not feel slighted or displeased, for our material came hurriedly for the press and your name came in late. THE Epiror AND STAFF.

1915 SENIOR ANNUAL RutH Haskins ALDRIDGE. “Rufus” Did anyone say that Ruth was slow? Well, surely nobody ever said she wasn't. But we will admit, Rufus, it’s “‘slow but sure.” As a class we show our liking for Ruth by electing her vice presi- dent. Ruth is socially inclined. The inclination has been centered upon one fortunate youth during all her four years in R. F. A. Vice president. E. RutH ALLEN Some think the world was made for fun and frolic. So does Ruth. Her motto is “Giggle and the class giggles with you. Although fun does not produce the best marks, Ruth has the old quotation to rely upon, “He is oft the wisest man who is not wise at all.” HazEL EsTHER BARNARD. “‘Barnie” “Thou art all fair my love, there is no spot in thee.” Behold this sweet, timid little lassie! To look at her picture one would never think that this gentle appearing maiden is the most skilled Coon huntress in the whole school. She, gentle reader, has been most successful in her quest, having finally bagged her game. WILLIAM Henry BirpD 4 likely lad, a fine lad, a gay, good-humored, clever lad.” This diminutive, truncated, musical entity is one of the cutest living apologies for human existence that ever strung a bow. He has charmed many a fair dam- sel with his selections on the violin. Photos by McClusky.
