COOPER, HOMER BERTRAM This blonde young man though he has not been in school activities, has gained many friends, and proven himself to be a good student. The school wishes him much success in life. CRONIN, MARY GERTRUDE College Club, 3, 4— “XI Club, 3, 4— Sunrise Stuff, 4— Glee Club, 3— Announcement Committee, 4. Mary’s hazel eyes and black hair have proved too much for many a man, but that’s not all. She is a good sport and lively company. “Trusty, dusky, vivid, true With eyes of gold and bramble-dew Steel-true and blade-straight.” CROSS, MAXINE LENORA Glee Club, 3, 4— “XI Club, 4. Max is notably quiet, but she has a vigor in her makeup which makes her a dangerous rival. Coming from Lawrence Park, she has been with us only three years but have you ever noticed how many friends she has? EKSTROM, ETHEL RAGNHILD Basketball 2, 3— “AT” Club, 4— College Club, 4. The fairest sight is a friendly face, The blithest tread is a friendly pace, And heaven will be a better place For a friend or two. This surely is Ethel’s motto, for this flaxon-haired maid has a heart as golden as her hair. EMLING, JEROME Football, 1, 2, 3, 4— Basketball, 2, 3, 4— Track, 2, 4— Baseball, 3, 4— Band, 1, 2— Orchestra, 3. “Shunnel” is widely known for his attempts to imitate “Blubber” Sullivan, and he certainly succeeded in football tackling. He has held a position in our school life that will be hard to fill. We know he will be a success in life, for he has proven the makings of a business man already. 27

BURGNON, EDITH LOUISE “M Club, 4— Glee Club, 1, 2— College Club, 1— Student Council, 1, 2. Edith is a tall, slender, blue-eyed lass who is very attractive to the opposite sex. Her pleasant disposition and willingness to join in the fun, make her a welcome member of every group. CARNEY, EDWARD JOSEPH Glee Club, 4. Whenever Ed appears, gloom disappears. His ready smile and clever wit have made many friends for him while here at East. We want to thank Ed for chasing the “blues” away and wish him success for the future. CARYL, DELMONT ALBERT Football, 3, 4— Baseball, 3, 4— Class Basketball, 4. “Del” is one of East’s outstanding football men, and we expect to hear of him as a member of the “All American” team in the near future. He is not only popular with the fellows, but has to hide sometimes from the pursuit of girls. He will overcome bashfulness in time and then the rest of the fellows better “clear the deck.” CHIZ, MARY ANTOINETTE Glee Club, 4. Mary is a very quiet girl (if you don’t know her). Her favorite question is “Got your commercial law cases?” She has never been slack in anything during the four years, and we all wish her luck in the business world. CONNORS, VIRGINIA CLARA “A ” Club, 4. Here is a girl you can’t help but like. She is a member of one of those inseparable groups. Though she has not stated her intentions concerning her work after leaving school, we are sure that whatever she may attempt, will be successful. 26

 FAIRGRAVES, ROBERT JAMES Ring Com. 4— Debate, 4. Robert’s specialty is girls. But he also has ability at debating. “Behold! Our silver tongued orator!” That is Bob. He’ll probably be a congressman some day. His sunny grin and determination have helped him win a place never to be erased, in the heart of East. FORSBERG, HERBERT Herbert has the promise of being a second Paul Whiteman with the great musical genius that is his. Aside from this he is a studious fellow and well liked by all, who wish him success in his chosen career. FORSBERG, PHILIP “Phil” has done much to help East establish its prestige in debating. His speeches were full of good arguments, humor, and clever wit, which showed his character in true colors. He plays the piano, too, and without him the “Double Quintet” would fall flat. He’s bound to make a big hit for East some day. GILES, RUTH “The envy of all, the glory of one. This little wisp of an Irish Miss is the sweetest thing this side of the ocean and fit to grace a King George’s table. GORTON, CHARLES WILLIAM Baseball Mgr., 4— Class Basketball, 2, 3, 4. This young man, as a manager of East’s 1928 nine has proven his mettle. He is witty, goodnatured and has many friends who admire him for his manly qualities and studious application in the class rooms. Athletics is his specialty and we wish him every success in it. 28
