H. E. A. A. DANCE
The first dance of the summer, given by the Hawk-
Eye Athletic Association at Cain's Dance Tavern,
proved a very enjoyable affair. The super-heated
condition of the atmosphere was undoubtedly in-
strumental in keeping away a number of our jazz
devotees,— at least they weren't there, —but this
fact did not seem to detract from the enjoyment of
those who did take advantage of the excellent floor
and music. Financially the result was not phenom-
enal, but the small difference between income and
outgo showed up on the right side of the ledger.
"Bill" Schlegel, situated at the door, wore a rather
worried look until the danger mark in the admissions
had been passed. Then he leaned back to philoso-
phize on the carelessness of some people in "passing
up" such a splendid hop.
The committee consisted of Alice Gears, Ruth

with the customary outfit from bib to rattle. Fred

from conventions, business publications, competi-

twenty-five years of continuous service this month.
He entered the employ of the old Rochester Camera
Company in March, 1897, when that concern was
located on Elizabeth Street, and moved with them
to the present Folmer-Century plant, which they
built. One of "Jimmie's" jobs at that time was
to make pictures showing the progress of the exca-
vation and building, and he very distinctly remem-
bers the poor quality of his negatives which earned
him a "call-down" from his boss.
In 1900, after consolidation with other

Rochester Optical and Camera Company, operations
were transferred to South Street the present—

Mr. Potter came to the company on March 12,

selling professional apparatus. In April, 1917, he
was transferred to the Advertising Department at

On account of ill health Mr. Potter resigned his

regret that we must lose "Quinnie's" genial
comradeship.
Mr. Quinlin entered the Kodak Office organization
early in 1910, coming from Hawk-Eye. He was
first assigned to field work in the Sales Department,
spending two years '"on the road," but in 1912 was
called in as correspondent, supervising sales. This

to think —
that if we do plug along and know
the business, and have the perseverance to
acquire personality if we haven't got it maybe —
