m m s BERNICE CHRISTENSON Glee Club 4; Class Sec y- 2; Class Sec ' y 4 This golden-haired little lass is one of the sweetest girls of the Senior Class. Her sunny disposition and laughter are unfailing and anyone who wants to disperse the blues need only seek her company. Her two main weaknesses are mirrors and boys, but she never has want for either. She is planning to start the little kiddies of the kindergarten on their path tow ards learning. EDWIN T. CLOUSER Football 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2 If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try, again. That seems to be Eddie ' s motto. And that it will work is beyond doubt. He has shown us that he is a real athlete. Both the foot- ball and basketball teams could not have got along without his services. We are told that Ed has a crush on a certain Mabel. He is undecided which college he will enter, but whichever one he chooses, it can count itself as lucky. HAROLD MICHAEL CRONIN Student Council 1; Play Committee 4; Track 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Baseball 1 Mike the son of a fire eater while attending East incidentally took part in several school activities; namely Track and Glee Club.

CHARLES GEORGE DOWNING Football 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1; Glee Club Play Committee 4; President of Boys Club Yes, this is Bus. The fellow you ' ve heard so much about His wonderful work on our athletic teams, has w on recog- nition throughout Western Pennsylvania. The sight of Bus up there on the platform receiving his sweater, has been a fa- miliar and pleasant sight to us all. He claims he is not a ladies man, but when one is as good-loking as he is, this does not seem possible. He hasn ' t decided w hich college he will enter, but whichever one it is, it can feel lucky that it has received one of the best all around students of the 1926 Class. PAULINE EVANS Glee Club 4 Pauline has a special art of distinguishing and appreciating the joyful side of life. She certainly has a cheerful and sunny disposition. She intends to be a nurse and, with her sterling character, we feel sure that she will do w ell in her chosen profession. 22
