Nor was he conscious of the soft wind, sighing gently through the nearby cypresses and willows. ,But of the quivering re- flection of the glistening fairy-like minarets of the temple beyond the pool he was keenly con- cious. For this was his god, the object of his orship-this was the Taj Mahal. As guard at the Taj, Ali had every right to be vitally alive to this shining temple, for did not this object of his devotion come second only to his wife? And good reason was there for this reverent admiration of the lowly guard. as an -r 4: 4- -if It is a humble story but yet an interesting one, the story of how the caste-bound young In- dian devoutly worshipped a dark-eyed jewel whom he could not hope to win except by some great deed which would break down the prejudice of ages, and how his appointment as guard at the Taj Mahal brought the fulfilment of his dream. All of this story cannot here be fully told, but I shall try to relate the incident of the Iamshid jewel. in we wk af an 4- Of course, there were attempts to appropriate the jewels which so richly adorned the exquisite building. At times these attempts had succeeded, but never since the coming of Ali had there been any loss of jewels. The vigilance of Ali was keen, and his suspicions sensitive to those enter- ing the shrine with ulterior motives. He knew at a moment's glance whether the light in the eyes of the visitor was one of admiration or avarice. Now it happened that on a certain morning Ali, squatting cross-legged, back against a marble bench, on the edge of the lily pool, was strangely stirred, for glancing upward he had beheld a black-winged bird of prey soaring loftily against the matchless blue of the sky and this could sig- nify only one thing, trouble. Ali knew it was an evil omen. But one was not paid for reclining against benches and feeling a.gitated, so Ali quietly arose to begin his day's duty. Visitors were already beginning to appear and it was time to stand guard over the tombs of the Shah and his fair Page I I wife, whose beauty and grace had inspired' this architectural triumph. As Ali approached the tombs of the departed ruler and Arjemand, his favorite among a thou- sand wives, he became aware of a tall slightly- built man of English appearance, pausing near the tomb of the former queen. The tomb of the adored Arjemand was of delicate workmanship, carefully executed and resplendent with priceless jewels. The design on the cover was an intricate one of emeralds, pearls and sapphires. The cen- tral jewel was a blood-red ruby of great size and fabulous value. It was upon this gem that the stranger was intent. In the dimly-lighted re- cess of the mausoleum, the stone gleamed with flashing fire, like the baleful gleam of some ma- lignant eye, and as the visitor peered at the jewel, a fierce light shone in the depth of his deep-set eyes, the light of the hunter who sights his prey and plans for the killing. Being of a suspicious nature and knowing what volumes men's eyes speak, Ali immediately be- came mistrustful of, the man, for his eyes held strange thoughts. Suddenly the foreigner became conscious of Ali's presence, his manner instantly changed, and he became a casual, normally in- terested observer, nothing more. A rather interesting piece of work, but doubt- less of little value, he nonchalantly remarked to Ali. He showed so much surprise upon hearing the voluble Ali explain that the stones were of im- mense value, particularly the central ruby, which was the jewel of Jamshid, otherwise known as Torch of the Night, in fact, he was so con- vincing in his polite interest that Ali was reas- sured. After some light discourse, the very en- tertaining gentleman passed on, leaving Ali to clink two shining rupees in his palm. With the increasing heat the visitors departed from the garden in their gharries, seeking relief from the burning sun. With them went the stranger-but he was to return. It would be several hours before any other visitors would appear, and Ali retreated to his former garden seat, shadowed by the gentle wil- low, which seemed to droop from the very in- tensity of the sun's rays. Glancing up, Ali again saw the vulture hover- ing on shadowy, motionless wings, seeming to hang without effort in the sky. And again there THE EASTERN ECHO came a feeling of approaching trouble, an unac- countable premonition of evil. But even a trou- bled soul cannot resist the lure of whispering trees. murmuring breeze and sweet-scented flowers for long, and Ali was soon asleep. How long he slept, he never knew. He was only aware of some horrible nightmare which invaded his dreams, rendering him powerless to any action or outcry. For in his mind there grew a threatening shadow, which resolved itself into the figure of some huge and repulsive beast, with immense wings as black as a bird of prey. In its head there shone, not the customary two eyes, but one glittering red orb which scintillated fire- like flashes. Most curious of all, the beast walked upright with the bearing of a man. Then as he visioned the beast, it seemed to Ali that the eye dimmed, glowing now strong, and now weak, but steadily fading. And as it faded there came to Ali the feeling that he was losing something dear and close to him. With this feeling came a growing strength and return to consciousness. The next instant Ali found himself on his feet, staring wildly about the familiar garden. Even as he looked there fell a shadow across the face of the lagoon, and, looking up, Ali beheld the vulture, circling now but a stonels throw above his head. Without volition Ali felt himself mov- ing toward the vault. Mounting to the entrance, he stepped over the threshold. There, within the light of the swinging lantern. crouched the stranger. It did not occur to Ali to ask how he came there when the grounds were supposedly closedg there was only the realization that the reason was one of deep concern to him. The man's back was, fortunately, turned toward Ali, who began stealthily to approach the un- suspecting figure. As he came nearer, Ali real- ized that his troubled spirit had found its an- swer, for the man was working at the mounting of the Jamshid jewel! Hot, resentful rage filled the heart of Ali. That a mere white mortal should attempt to steal the sacred jewel was incredible to him. By a strong effort of will, he refrained from uttering the cry that sounded in his throat, intending to take the thief unaware. But the invader must have sensed trouble, for he turned at that instant, star- ing into the eyes of Ali with terror written on his face. With a sudden movement, a gun ap- peared in his hand and a blinding flash and a roar followed. Ali felt the sting of a bullet as it nicked his arm. The following action was sudden and furious. Forward Ali leaped, grasping the gun as it flashed again, this time harmlessly. The stranger dis- played mighty strength, but Alils skill proved su- perior as he threw his opponent crashingly to the floor, where the man lay limp and senseless. The arrival of several other guards attracted by the shots relieved Ali, who stood beside the tombs and triumphantly watched the unresisting thief led forth, to be dealt with suddenly and surely. And then what of Ali? It must suffice to say that he had indeed proved himself worthy of the hand of the lovely maid from whom rank, in the ordinary course of events, would have forever sep- arated him. at ak wk Pk 4- ak And so there was little wonder why Ali, gazing into the lily pond, was but dimly conscious of the Huffy white clouds mirrored in its shimmery surface, Floating against the blue of the sky, for his eyes were fixed upon the image of the beau- tiful temple which was reflected before him in the quiet pool and his thoughts were intent upon the great happiness which had come to him. lu. , five .- fi? 7 amz ,,.,.

Bravest is the man who always is honestf, Thus Dr. Walsh ended his talk to Vernon High School. It had been an impressive talk which had claimed everyone's attention. In the audience a young girl of seventeen years had listened intently. She was Kathryn Wells, the captain of the school's basketball team. Queer thing, she thought, a person who is always honest, to be the bravest. I wonder if he includes white lies in that, too. That night at eight o'clock the game for the championship was to be played between Vernon and Palen high school. A deep undercurrent of excitement had prevailed in Vernon High all day. Would their team carry off the honors as in former games? Palen High was reputed to have one of the best teams in the city so it was understood that there was going to be a strong battle on each side for the championship. The Vernon High team was gathered in a small ante-room. Kathryn, their captain, was flushed with excitement. To-night the final game! Would it be victory or defeat? No! Not defeat! That surely could not be the climax of their trium- phant basketball season. The whistle blew, sum- moning the two teams to the floor. Girls,,' said Kathryn hurriedly, don,t forget the signals, and remember-we want to bring victory to Vernon High. Fight! Fight to the finish. As the players appeared on the floor cheer after cheer rose from the throng on Vernon's side. Suddenly it quieted a bit and then the cheer lead- ers led the cheer for their alma mater: V-E-R-N-O-N-V-E-R-N-O-N ! Vernon High-Vernon High! Cheer after cheer and yell after yell rang out from both sides, when suddenly the whistle blew. The gym became still. The girls took their po- sitions on the floor. The game had begun! A few minutes of passing took place. Sud- denly Palen made the basket. What a cheer arose from Palen's ranks! Then silence again! All eyes were fixed on the players. Kathryn had the ball! She passed it to a forward, who fum- bled. Palen grabbed the ball. Again passing took place, when a foul on Palen's side gave Ver- non a free shot. One of Vernon's forwards shot for the basket. She made it! The score was 2-1. The whistle again! The first quarter was up! Palen was leading! Page I3 Both sides gave their yells lustily, each sure of the other's defeat. The time was up. The game again was on. There! The right guard on Ver- non's team had the ball. She passed it to a forward who, attempting to pass it to Kathryn, who played center, slipped. A fumble was the result! Palen had the ball! Vernonis defense, fortunately, was strong and the girl who had the ball and was passing, was made to pivot and then was closed in on. Ex- cited playing took place. Vernon made a bas- ket. At the end of the second quarter the score was 6-2 in favor of Vernon. Kathryn was breathing hard when she sat down. Her guard was a tall, fast girl who guarded her entirely too well, Kathryn thought. Gee, they sure can play, remarked Kathryn. They're livingi up to their rep, all right. The intermission was soon up and again the players took their places. The last half! The next quarter, full of exciting plays, left the score 10-6 in favor of Palen. Girls, said Kathryn, we've got to do some- thing. We're sure not going to be defeated in our last game. Please, please play your hardest andv-there went the whistle. Don,t forget-Vernon's rep's at stake. With renewed hope the team went into the tussle. Lady Luck again favored them and soon the score was 12-ll for Vernon, and only three more min- utes to play. Suddenly the ball came towards Kathryn. She and her guard both ran for it, and both Went down claiming the ball. The referee blew her whistle and declared a foul on Kathryn's guard, giving Vernon a free shot. But Kathryn knew that her guard was not to blame. She was the one who had fouled. Should she keep still? Suddenly Dr. Walsh's words, To lose and lose fairly is better than to have won and won falsely flashed thru her mind. Should she own her error? Plague my conscience, she thought. Then all at once she heard herself saying, Referee, she didn't foul, I did. The referee took the ball and gave it to Palen's forward. She measured the distance with her eye, she took careful aim. The crowd waited breathlessly. The ball flew toward the basket-and went in. The whistle blew. The game was over-with the score 12-12. , Tears smarted in Kathryn's eyes while she THE EASTERN ECHO dressed. But for her Vernon would have won. Miss Oliver's room. She was not crying now. Now they wouldn't win the championship. Still- Oh no! She was happy because Miss Oliver had Kathie, Miss Oliver wants to see you when told her that she had proved her worth to Ver- you're dressed, a sympathetic voice announced. non.

Page I 4 STICK- TUCK EVELYN HOWELL '30 PART III ETTY LoU was returning to college. As she looked over the many farewell pres- ents given her by her friends, an ex- quisite ivory and gold and rose-bud clock caught her eye. It was the gift of one of the many suitors whom she had kept waiting on various occasions. She took the clock but the hint passed entirely over her pretty blond head. College! Betty Lou loved it. She was only a Junior, and yet she was acclaimed by all as the prettiest and most popular girl on the campus. She was glad to go back. It meant more dates, more candy, more excitement, and more happiness. She wondered how many conquests she would make this year. Still wondering, she boarded the train for Richton, Virginia. When she arrived at her destination five hours later, she was met by an army of broken-down flivers, and cries of, I-Iey, Betty Lou, I got here first! C'mon with me, and I say, you prom- ised to grace my honorable heap of junk. Will'st thou? Betty's discerning eye picked out a hand- some roadster. No antique wrecks for her first entrance! She was triumphantly carried off in the new Chrysler amid the moans and cries of the unsuccessful would-be chauffeurs. The young man whose car she graced was a Junior named Durpan. The youngster with him, whose name was Reginalde Smythe, was an ignoble freshman. Unfortunately, Betty Lou was un- aware of Mr. Smythe's status, so she treated him like any other human being. In consequence, the poor freshman immediately lost his heart to Betty Lou. Unhappy youth! Betty Lou was the first girl to treat him like anything but a gila monster since his arrival. He positively ached to write a sonnet to her beauty and graciousness. Poor Reginalde! Durpan deposited his passenger at Rainey Hall, As he was saying good-bye, he said to Betty Lou, Pray for me, will you? That thing in my car is a freshman, and I'm his adviser. O, Allah ! He may have said more, but Betty Lou failed to hear him. At the word freshman her au- ..I ir- ll u 4u v '7 ri, ' I B' W2 si F' , YA, l +L ' :A . ,, , V we .

She, Betty Lou, had lowered herself by talking to a froshl She should have known he was a freshman by that scared look and the too- new clothes. She determined to look before leap- ing into conversation with any males hereafter. Her face set into a stony mask. ' Reginalde Smythe, made oblivious of his de- ficiencies by the goddess' conversation, gazed upon her spell-bound. If he had been anything but a freshman, that frozen face would have warned him. The trouble was, he was a freshman. There- fore the look meant nothing to him. He said his farewells and when Betty Lou failed to an- swer, he thought she had not heard him. As a matter of fact, her ears were still paralyzed, but she would not have answered anyway. Reginalde went home in high spirits and still determined to write a sonnet to his new-found love. He got as far as, Betty Lou, How I love you! Your eyes so blue- and stopped. It had a reminiscent sound, and anyway he couldn't think of anything but glue to rhyme with blue . He pondered. How was he to get in Betty's graces? He had it! Betty Lou was from the South. Somewhere or other, he had heard that Southern cavaliers were in the habit of serenading their lady-loves. He would pour forth his soul to Betty Lou, aided and abetted by his trusty Nuke. Mr. Smythe pos- sessed a voice, a magnificent voice. In high school days cheer leaders sought him out. The Glee Club ignored him. A week passed. Betty Lou was firmly estab- lished in he! new room and the little ivory and gold and rose-bud clock was just as firmly en- sconced on the table by the window. The clock seemed to be trying its best to keep up with its mistress, who flew in and fiew out again without pause all day and every day. The rapid tic-tic tic-tic-tic of the hurrying little timepiece some- how reminded one of the pace of its owner. She scarcely ever slept. She was in again, out again. before her roommate had time to say Hello, much less Good-bye. In the meantime, Reginalde Smythe had gath- ered material and practiced quietly on his uke THE EASTERN ECHO for seven days and seven nights. On this mo- mentous night, he was to do his big act for Betty Lou. By various and sundry means, Reginalde had learned the number of Bettyls room and where he could best serenade her. He knew just when she would be home. Luckily for him, she would be in by twelve o'clock on this night, and he could raise his mighty voice in praise of her charms. All was ready. He had learned his pieces and tuned his uke, and now all he had to do was to wait for Old Sol to sink and Lady Luna to come up. At 12:30, he planned to be- gin. Only ten hours, or Cas he had figured it outj th-irty-six thousand seconds in which to wait. bk Pk lk lk lk lk At 12:28 the dormitories were enveloped in si- lence and darkness. At 12:30 a cacophonous ar- ray of weird sounds made the welkin ring. The startled house-mother of Rainey Hall sat up straight in bed. Good gracious, what is that P she cried as an ear-splitting yowl rent the air. A sleepy sophomore in room 203 listened a mo- ment and turned over wearily muttering some- thing about those blamed cats.', Squares of light appeared in darkened windows and heads in turn appeared in these. Mr. Smythe was warming up to his work. He whanged the uke frantically, meanwhile broad- casting to Betty Lou and the rest of the college that if she loved him, the world was his. His serenade was supplemented by a chorus of in- dignant shrieks: Call up the S. P. C. Af' Hire a hall! Tell it to the Marines! Shut up l Doctor, the ether! Who stepped on the cat? Young Mr. Smythe warbled on, unaware of his audience. As his voice reached its crescendo, the height of indignation was also reached. He yo- deled on: I lo-ove yoo tru-HU-ly! A respectable iron-grey head poked itself out of the window of the matron's room, and a com- manding voice ordered, Young man, stop that outrageous noise and go home at once ! But the undaunted Mr. Smythe refused to move. He cheerfully proceeded to inform the countryside that a son of the desert was he. His listeners might have been exhausted, but his rep- ertoire was not. Betty Lou thought it all too much. The sere- nade in itself was bad enough, but the thought of facing the college and the avalanche of teasing and sly jokes certain to follow was not to be borne. She waved her arms and shrieked unin- telligibly at Mr. Smythe, who warbled back sweetly and imploringly, Open thy lattice, love ! Shut your mouthfl she roared, and looked wildly around for some small article to hurl at the devoted swain. Again the little ivory and gold and rose-bud clock caught her eye. There was a swish as the clock flew through the air. There was a crash as it caught the uke head-on. With a final wail of anguish, Mr. Smythe fled, peals of derisive laughter sounding in his ears. The uke lay side by side with the clock, which was still ticking hurriedly. Dklkfklklklk Early next morning the negro janitor found the clock exactly where it had fallen. He picked it up, mentally resolving to give it to his gal whatys goin' to Bal'moah wid dat white lady. And so the ivory and gold and rose-bud clock went to Baltimore with its colored owner, who later sold it for money with which to buy a purple silk dress. She sold it to an old man named Simms, who so resembled a mummy that no one really thought of him as being human. lk Pk Pk Sk lk lk Ezekiel William Simms yawned widely and slowly opened his eyes. So that was the Way of it, eh? The old dealer rose from his chair in the back of the shop and shuffled over towards the shelf. VVell, ye three trusties, I jolly well near jedged ye rightly. You, Sir Wellington, I named ye for the hero that ye were. And you, Lady Gerf aldine, I knew by your pretty face that ye once lived in a lady's dainty boudoirfl Then he turned to Kaiser Bill with a fond glance, and addressed it thus: Ye old, mournful clock, ye! Why didnlt ye let me know? Well, old chap, I named ye wrong, but ye deserve what I'1n giving ye. Your name's Pershing now. And with gentle, reverent hands, the old man draped a small American flag at the base of the Nuremberg clock. Page I6 Alice On Her Own M. THROUGH '31 HE DAY was a bleak, blustery one in mid- April, the time late afternoon, but Alice, though she wore no hat, shoes, or gloves, was warm, her heavy black fur coat, though it was ruffled by the wind, was all she needed for pro- tection. Alice was walking slowly up Broadway, medi- tating sourly on life, for Alice was insulted and angry. Her thoughts ran somewhat in this fash- ion: Hum-m-ml They must think they're clever, leaving me like this, all alone. Yesterday they gave me a saucer of milk and a warm place to sleep, and today they tie me up in a bag, and take me for a long, jolty ride, and then they drop me out of the bag in a strange place to shift for myself. Of course I could get back, but I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of knowing I wanted to come back, even to see Mama and the children and dear Wilbur again. Wilbur was Aliceis gentleman friend. Alice sighed, and continued her soliloquy, now more sadly than indignantly. What fun we used to have, when Mama used to tell us about when she was a girl, and when we all used to go hunting in the fields for birds. What fun I used to have when Wilbur came over every evening and called me from the gate post. Sometimes- P5 o - d A I in Q, But what was this? A door right on the side- walk fiew open, and a girl rushed out. Alice fol- lowed her instinct and rushed in before the door closed. Now she couldn't get out. But Alice was a philosopher: if she couldn't get out, she couldn't g she would make the best of it. There was a fiight of steps before her, so she went up them. She reached the top and looked about her. Hum-m-mln thought Alice. Marble floors, really elegant. just my style. To her right a door stood open, luring Alice to explore what mysteries lay behind it. She poked her head cautiously in 5 seeing no one, she went in and wandered about. There were some strange things there that quite bewildered the simple little country-bred cat-rows and rows of things that Page l 7 had the general appearance of tables, but with queer legs on only one side. Alice jumped on the first one, then to the next and the next. This entertainment palled after a while, and she finished her airy travels by a leap to a large box- like thing that stood at the front of the room. It was covered by many papers that flew merrily about at Alice's sudden arrival among them. After a short investigation of this literature, something caught Alice's eye that made her heart leap with joy. Goldfish! ' 1i-. ti 1 -4 Nothing more could be asked to complete Alice's wonderful day. In two leaps she had reached their bowl, where they swam lazily about, paying no attention whatsoever to her maneuvers. Alice's black paw reached into the bowl to seize one of them. But she was doomed to disappoint- ment,-they eluded her with great ease. More futile attempts! Alice was exasperated. What badly-bred fish these were! They very evidently had not been taught to play properly. Well-bred fish knew that they should allow themselves to be caught in a reasonably short time. I-Ier exaspera- tion turned to disgust. Very well, if they wouldn't play, neither would she. She jumped down from the table and marched sedately out of the room, while the fish eyed her with as little interest as before. Alice, still very much disgusted, said a word under her breath, and stalked into a room whose door, opposite the one she had just passed through, stood invitingly open. There were more rows and rows of table-like things with the box thing in front of them. No goldfish, Alice decided, after a swift survey of the premises. She had thought perhaps there would be some better trained ones here. Oh well, goldfish needn't think they pro- vided the only entertainment for cats. She dis- missed them from her mind with a shrug. At one end of the room were bunches of papers attached to the wall, they fiapped in the breeze Alice made when she jumped on a table-thing to view them. There were funny black marks on them. Alice thought what a pity it was that all those perfectly good papers must be ruined by THE EASTERN ECHO scribbling on them. What funny ideas people had! Alice left the papers and hopped around on these table-things. The trip ended abruptly. Alice had found something else queer, some funny blocks, made of wood, some square, some round like the ball of wool she had played with once upon a time, others resembling the ice cream cones she had sometimes seen. This was evident- ly a place where babies played. This room certainly had funny wall decora- tions: on the one wall were the papersg on a sec- ond, windowsg on a third, which was striped tan and black, white marks covered much of the sur- face, on the fourth, the same stripes of tan and black! How queer! Alice decided that she had seen everything of interest, though some of the things were some- what puzzling, so she wandered out and down a long, wide hall. She found another open door and went through it. She walked to the middle of the room and gazed about her. This place was queerer than the other. It had real tables in it, but they had things on them that no one could possibly use! Alice jumped up on one to explore more thoroughly. There stood a contraption, a sort of T-shaped frame, from which hungftwo metal plates suspended by wire. Alice wanted to try to sit in one, but it looked too uncertain so she merely wagged her tail against it and jumped at the clatter it made. Under the table from which she had leaped, she found many boxes, all carefully closed with little brass catches. She wanted to know what was in them, but she couldn't open one. Well, she'd see what she could see from that high chair. She jumped. The seat of the chair kept right on mov- ing around! Amazing! F Alice decided she had better leave this place where seats of chairs went around when you got up on them. She lost no time in getting out. Opposite the door of the room she had just left was another door, with just a crack open. Though Alice had decided to do no more exploring, this was too great a temptation. She stuck one paw in the crack and followed it with her head. Be- fore her was a stage. She was looking over rows and rows of empty seats. I always knew I was destined for the stage, murmured Alice, and here I am. yi: iff!! lljl 3. J 'ma ll!! ! She walked back and forth behind the foot- lights, humming a little tune, and taking a few waltz steps now and then. Then she sat down right at the middle of the stage, shrugged her shoulders negligently, and began her daily bath. At last she rose, stretched, and wandered about again. Something caught her eyeg she walked over and gazed at it with some interest: green fringe, above it, folds of green velvet. Sumptuous, thought Alice after a critical glance, elegant Behind her was a big something that Alice's roving eye was intrigued with. She walked around it, examined it carefully, measured the dis- tance to the shiny white and black shelf, and jumped. On her arrival at that chosen spot, all the dogs and cats within a radius of a mile howled at once! A head appeared in the doorway. 'fWho touch- ed that piano?,' a voice asked. No answer. The head disappeared while a hand came up to scratch it. Alice had departed. At the time of the head's arrival, she was in the front hall, and still going. Up the stairs she Hew, down the hall, up more steps, until she at last found refuge in a darkened room in the darkest corner. She crouched there some time, and then her courage returned. Her thoughts were a little hectic. Alice rose and shook herself. She was glad she had come out of the danger safely. She walked to the door courageously and peered out. She descended the stairs slowly, keeping her courage up only by gazing back at her handsome tail wav- ing on high. At last she reached the bottom. But she coulrln't get out. She waited for some time, then a figure appeared, hatted and coated, and advanced to the door. A small black shadow followed. The door opened and closed. Alice sauntered down the street waving her tail. X If x: 3 u f ' ' 4 K .X pf lrv, JN! xg .

That name hurled at her was not an in- sult. It had been her name since she was three years old. Her real name had been forgotteng it was such a pretty name too: Diane Emerson. But that name was no more, scarcely had it ever been. Her mother had given up all hope of Diane's ever being as dainty and feminine as her name. At three years she had seen her throw a ball with a sharp, swift curve. She had told her she was a little tomboy. Diane went out and told her play- mates that she was a little tomboy. That name had stuck to her ever since. But Tomboy was so tired of the name. She was a girl: she wanted to be treated as a girl. She wanted to wear dainty white dresses as all the girls did g she wanted to be called Diane g and most of all, she wanted to be able- to talk as all the girls did. Most of the girls' ins her class would gather around one table in the 'cafeteria and talk about their boy-friends and parties Tomboy never had such topics to discuss. She had friends among boys, mind you, but all they ever talked about was ball or some other sport. And as for parties! Tomboy had never been to parties. She was popular when it came to mak- ing the teams, her school or class team never had a chance to win unless Tomboy was on it. But when it came to parties they all forgot Tomboy. Yes, they liked her, she was nice, but- She wouldn't have a good time at the party, all the boys like feminine, not athletic, girls. Besides- she can't dance. . . . All she would be able to talk about is sports. . . . At a party she would be a complete failure. They did not realize that below that tomboyish mask there was a girl as pretty, and dainty, and lovable as any of them, a Diane well worthy of her name. No one ever guessed that the hard- boiled, mannish-looking Tomboy Emerson, like any other normal girl, had her dreams of the knight that sometime in the future would come riding on a big black horse. No one guessed that Diane could dance, had learned to dance by watch- ing the others at school. And of course no one would ever imagine that Tomboy could cry be- cause somebody gave a party and almost every- one was invited but her. Tomboy's mannish looks had concealed all the dainty, feminine beauty bequeathed to her by her still daintier mother. A golden-brown crop of Page Zi hair was cut and pushed back so hard and slick with water that all its natural waves were gone. Beneath a large white forehead that marked her intelligence, were brown eyes that were always sad, even though her lips smiled.. A keen and sympathetic observer could have told at one glance the dreams that were behind those eyes, but no one noticed Tomboy closely enough for that. Golden-brown freckles that matched her ,hair dot- ted her small straight nose. Her red lips were free from cosmetics, and through them gleamed two even rows of white teeth. Most of the time she wore a navy blue suit, with a tight-fitting, straight-lined skirt and a jacket 3 beneath that was a mannish shirt and a jazzbow tie. Her legs were always clad in socks or sport hose and nothing else but sport oxfords had ever been seen on her feet. There was another thing that nobody knew, not even her mother, for she had never taken the time to look. Once Tomboy had seen in a window a dress, one of the kind she had dreamed of. It was a dainty vision of blue organdyf' She had longed for thatdress-ached for it. She hated to ask her mother to buy it and she knew that if she ever wore the dress she would be teased and tormented for she knew not how long. So, no one knowing, Tomboy had taken her en- tire monthly pocket-money and had spent every cent of it for the dream dress. She had never worn it outside her own room, but every night she could not go to bed without having tried the dress on. With it she had purchased a pair of silk hose and cuban-heeled pumps. The only thing that had spoiled it was her hair. That dress didnyt look just right with her hair pushed back so hard and slick. She had parted it on the right side and brushed it, bringing back the waves and making it soft and silky. The hair curled around her face in what the girls called a windblown bob. It suited her to perfection. Yeh Tomboy! And Tomboy, on this par- ticular morning, as many times before, smiled and called back, but her heart was heavy. Gonna try for the team ? Sure So long. See you in the gym, girl friend. The girl turned and again took up her inter- rupted conversation with the boys. Girl friend, thought Tomboy bitterly. I-Iumph! And last week when she had her party she forgot all about her girl friend ! THE EASTERN ECHO She was greeted everywhere as she walked along the corridor. When she reached her room there were only a few girls in it. Where,s everybody ? she asked. Assembly today. They're in the auditorium. I-Iere's Tomboy Emerson! I've got a crush on her. She's a swell athlete, came in a whisper to Tomboy's ears as she walked through the auditorium doorway. Yeh, crush on mef' she muttered angrily. I hope you get crushed. There was a visitor on the stage, who was going to entertain the girls. Presently she was presented and began to talk. Tomboy's thoughts were elsewhere and at first she paid little atten- tion, but something in the visitor's speech stirred her and she listened eagerly. 1 The Hamilton Cookery School, the visitor was saying, is going to have a cake-making con- test. Any girl in this school is eligible whether she takes Home Economics or not. Before she she must have the principalls hands in her cake signature and also the signature of one who has watched her make the cake. The cake must be the girl herself without any she went on laughingly, I made entirely by help. Of course, mean that you cannot have the help of your mother or neighbor. But if you have forgotten how many eggs the cake should have, by all means look in a cookery book. The contest will be held in two weeks. In the meantime you can get from the office a printed slip like this Cshe held up a small piece of paperj giving you all the details connected with the entering of your cake in the contestf' For the rest of the day Tomboy's thoughts were on a new topic-cake-baking. She loved to cook, that was another thing that nobody knew about Tomboy. That afternoon as soon as school let out, Tom- boy forgot to rush down to the gym for basket ball practice. At home a telephone call brought Jimmy Hughes, her youthful next-door neighbor, hurrying to the front porch. Will you do it for me P Tomboy ended, after having explained all about the contest. Sure, Jimmy answered, I'll watch you, Tom- boy, and sign up for you. But say, what kind of a cake are you gonna make ? I was thinking of a 'Liberty Cakef It would be square-shaped and I'd have dark pink and white icing for the stripes and blue and white for the field of blue and stars. It would repre- sent the American Flag. Say, that would be swell! cried Jimmy, ad- miringly. Will you promise to give me a piece of the cake after it's won the prize P If it does, said Tomboy with a laugh, l'll give you half of itf' As Miss Waldon had directed, Tomboy got a slip in the office and had it properly signed. She sent the slip in to the Hamilton Cookery School a week before the cake had to be in. Then she set about buying her icings and material At last the day of the cake-baking arrived. Gee,', sighed Jimmy, eyeing Tomboy as she measured out the flour and baking powder. That cake's gonna be swell. You're gonna win. Let's hope so,', answered Tomboy reverently. Her cake was one of hundreds. She looked around the cooking room with its tables full of wrapped cakes. Miss Hale, the cooking instruct- ress, took her cake and deposited it on a table with others. The girl that crept into the auditorium the next morning was hardly noticed in the excitement, and anyhow she did not look at all like Tomboy Emerson. She wore her dainty organdy dress and the silk stockings and pumps. Again she had combed her hair in that windblown style. A touch of powder hid some of the impish freckles that dotted her nose. She was not Tomboy g she was Diane. No one spoke to her, they did not even seem to know her and for that she was thankful. She sat with her head deep in a book until the principal walked on the stage. Today, boys and girlsf' he said, we have gathered to award the future housewife a prize for baking the best cake. And I am glad to say that the winner of the prize was number, he paused and looked around at the audience, num- ber seventeen. It is a very fine cake-a cake in the shape of the American flag with red, white and blue icing. Will number seventeen please come upon the stage ? Diane stood up, and as the applauding audi- ence turned and looked at her, she blushed for the first time in her life. Tomboy l gasped the audience as she walked across the stage. Tomboy Emerson ! Why Tomboy l said the principal in astonish- ment, holding out his hand. I had no idea that it was you, Tomboy. I beg your pardon, Mr. Clark, said she, with her head held high and speaking haughtily. For what? asked Mr. Clark nonplussed. My name is not Tomboyl' She stood there, a dainty vision of organdy and windblown bob, and her voice rang out clearly and distinctly to the ends of the auditorium, while the audience gasped again at her words. It is now-as it always should have been-Diane Emerson. Page 22 Trials 0 UL Puppet FRANCES STURGEON ,28 NE MIGHT THINK a puppet has no worries. VVell, I am going to tell you of some of my chief ones, and then you at least will know better. My greatest trial is the girl who has charge of me,-the greatest because all my other troubles centre around her. If she were not around I would have a glorious time but- well, I'll tell you some of the things she does to me or makes me do. My puppeteer-that's what I call her-is abso- lutely the bossiest person I have ever seen. She always wants me to do everything just as she thinks it should be done. If I donlt agree with her and want to do something else she jerks my strings and I either have to do as she wants me to or fall over as if I had fainted. If she would only let me alone for a few minutes I could show her a thing or two about how I should work. Moreover, the way she makes me act you would think I had a minor part in the play, when really I am the hero. She always stands me behind a table or a chair so that people cannot see me. I know you won't beleive me,' but itls a fact that in our last show the dog got more applause than I did. I was absolutely embarrassed to tears. But she doesn't in the least mind embarrassing me. The other day I was walking off stage and one of my strings got caught in the scenery and I was jerked up in the air and-would you be- lieve it ?-that heartless girl laughed and consid- ered it a huge joke. I was never so mortified in all my life--not to speak of the way it hurt. I hope that someday I shall have a new puppeteer -one who is more considerate of my feelings! One would think that girl would be nice to me when I am on the stage, because she knows that's the only time I am free to move about. When I am not there I am put in a suit-case with the other seven members of .my family. We are wrapped up tightly so that our strings will not I get tangled and then we are placed in the suit- case. Sometimes my feet are above my head in a most uncomfortable position and I have to stay that way for weeks before anyone comes to take me out. When I get out I am, of course, cramped and stiff and canit move about very well, but that puppeteer of mine expects me to stand on my head right away. Oh, what a life I do lead! Not only this, but some people don't even know what a puppet is. I was never so taken aback as when I found that out! Oh dear !-I just thought of something-maybe you are one of those who have never heard of me. That's hard to believe, but just in case it may be true I will tell you briefly what I am like. Of course there are many different kinds of puppets but I am going to tell you about myself. I used to be a doll-oh, for those happy, care- free days again !-until one day they decided to make me into a puppet. They completely dis- jointed me and then put me back together loosely so that I could move easily. Then they dressed me and fixed my face and hair so that I looked like a boy. After I was dressed they started at- taching the strings. I had one above each knee, one on each wrist, one on each side of my head, one at the back of my neck and one in the middle of my back. With the aid of these strings I can walk, move my head and arms and do most any- thing that other people can. But alas, as I said before, I am never my own master. I hope you now have a little clearer idea of what I amp and if you ever hear of any persons who don't know about me, please tell them, for it is awfully embarrassing to hear someone say that he never heard of you. I hope too that this account of my trials may win me a little of your sympathy. I I Q 1 Y 9 ' o 5, , , Q3 4, s I i ' It Page 23 o F7 S . I Q N Sculpture rlllullll in f lifts e ,iflgj ' os' 1 o eq . ' I Ei f any ' 5 I 2 f .f x School W ill! l f ll 'll I-We 'M SURE that almost all you Easternites have noticed the many pieces of line sculpture in our school, but I'm also sure that very few of you know anything about them. I didn't either until I discovered that it is as interesting as it is worthwhile to get acquainted with them. Let me tell you some of the things I have recently learned. Two of the best statues in the school are those in the lobby. They are Minerva, also known as Pallas or Athene, the goddess of iwisdom and de- fensive warfare, and Augustus, the adopted son of Julius Caesar, who became emperor of Rome. The original of the statue of Minerva was made by a Greek sculptor, probably in the fifth century B. C. in the time of the great Phidias. Several copies were made by the Romans, and later dug up by excavators. One of them is in the Vatican at :Rome Another is here in our own city, in the Walters' Art Gallery. Both Minerva and Augustus in our lobby are plaster casts made by P. P. Caproni and Brother, of Boston, and were presented to us by the Mu- nicipal Art Society. By Minerva's side is a snake, a representative of wisdom in ancient times. Her breastplate, called Aegis, she borrowed from her father, jupiter, when she wanted to go to war. The head in the middle of the shield is the Gorgon's head, a ghastly sight, Deformed and dreadful, and a sign of woe. So Homer describes it. The curls on the edge of the shield are the snakes of the Gorgon's head, the whole shield was supposed to inspire fear. The helmet is a kind worn by the Greeks for many centuries before and after the statue was made and is called a corinthian helmet. You should particularly notice the purity of line and the perfect representation of folds in her robe, for the sculpture of the period in which the statue was made is considered best of all times. The statue of Augustus Caesar was made in a somewhat later period, for he was emperor at the time of the birth of Christ. This particular statue of Augustus is known as Augustus Prima Porta,', for the original, now in the Vatican, was found by the excavators of a place called Prima Porta or First Gate. Augustus is here somewhat idealizedffor his face, although it looks like him, is done in the Greek style. The cupid and the dolphin represent his descent from Venus, who was thought either to be the daughter of jupiter and Dione, the goddess of moisture, or to have sprung from the sea. Cupid was her son. Finest of all our sculpture is the piece on the north wall of the first floor corridor-a repro- duction of the western frieze of the Parthenon. It, also, was given to us by the Municipal Art Society, and was cast by P. P. Caproni and Brother. The original frieze is of marble and was made by the sculptor Phidias, and perhaps by some of his pupils. Phidias, who belongs in the time of Pericles, is considered the greatest sculptor the world has ever seen. The frieze is in bas, or low, relief, for it is no more than two inches high at any place. The western part is still on the Parthenon, although most of the other sections have been carried away. All of it was injured when the gunpowder stored in the tem- ple by the Turks, who held Athens at that time, exploded. You can see on our reproduction where a leg or a head or an arm is missing. The Par- thenon was a temple built in honor of Athene fit was called this from the Greek word Parthe- nos meaning virgin goddessuj. The frieze rep- resents the Parthenaic procession, held every four years by the Athenians, when a new robe, or peplos, gorgeously embroidered, was given to the great statue of Athene in the Parthenon. Our section of the frieze shows the beginning of the procession. You will notice that every horse and every man is in a different position, Page Z4 THE EASTE.RN ECHO one is tying his sandal 3 one is arranging his cloak, some are riding, some are trying to mount, some are walking. Slab VIII is called Phidias and his horse, for, although it is not the sculptor himself, the perfection, both of horse and man, could only have been done by the master. The entire frieze is considered to be, perhaps, the most perfect piece of relief ever made. The horses are the most life-like and spirited ever rep- resented in marble. The forward movement of this western frieze will probably never be repro- duced as wonderfuly as it is here. All of you go and look at it, and see if you don't notice its perfect rhythm and movement. I suppose you all have recognized Venus de Milo in room 109, where, I imagine, she sees a great deal more of what goes on in the classes than we would want anyone else to! The figure was found at Milo, in about 1840, by a peasant, who, not realizing its value, sold it, for about three hundred and forty dollars, to a Frenchman. It was taken to the Louvre at Paris, where it is now. Venus de Milo, as she is now, has no arms. They were broken off, somehow, and no one has ever been able to make, a pair that are perfect enough for the figure. 'An article published some weeks ago says that there is an authentic descrip- tion of her, written by her purchaser, and that her arms were not broken till after she was found. Some people do not believe this, although the paper also says that her arms, iii several pieces, were taken with her to the Louvre, and that they are there now. Venus de Milo is the most beautiful female statue in the world. The graceful outline and simple modeling have never been equaled, and probably never will be. Besides the Venus de Milo you will find a copy of the bust of Venus in room 102, and another full length figure, holding an apple, in 109. You all know the story of Venus and the apple. This story is probably the history of the first beauty contest! The plaster face hanging.from the wall of 109 is that of an unknown Roman maiden. What a tiresome position that must be! You will find the bust of the statue of Apollo Belvedere in the library on top of the bookcase. Some people think his is the most perfect male figure, others think his position keeps him from perfection, for he has both arms outfiung. The original was probably made by the sculptor Leo- chares in the first or second century B. C. The original, or rather the Roman copy of the Greek original, stands in the Belvedere Gallery of the Vatican at Rome. He gets his name from this Page 2 5 room, Belvedere,' means beautiful view. He was first owned by Pope Julius II, and was the first piece in the Vatican collection of sculptures. The large relief, in the library also, is called Bacchantes, Dancing. You all know about Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, who held his orgies every few years, these are his female followers, or at least some of them, for when Bacchus started reveling, everyone reveled with him. The real antique original, not a Roman copy, is in the Louvre at Paris. It was made in the fourth century B. C. The statues of Venus de Milo and Venus with the apple, and the busts of Venus, Ajax, the Greek hero in the Trojan War, the poet Virgil, and the head of the Roman Maiden belong to the S. P. Q. R. See if you can find Virgil and Ajax, they aren't hard to locate! We have three copies of the same bust of Shakespeare, one in l0l, the second in the of- fice, and the third in the library. The one in 101 has a history, for he came from the old East- ern High. You may find out something of this history from Miss Buchholz. The bust of the poet Dante is to be found in 302, Look at him closely before forming an opinion, for at first glance he looks a little like an Indian. There is another member of the stafi' of the Echo who will tell you that. It was her im- pression, not mine! Although the sculptor is un- known, the bust is believed to have been made from nature. The original is in the Naples Mu- seum. Of an entirely different style of sculpture are the two pieces in the Assembly Hall. They are Mother and Child by Charles Agusta Fraican and Precious Time, also thought to be by him, but his name is not on it. They were made in the period in which baroque sculpture was popu- lar, that is, the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. In room 309 are several small plaster casts rescued from the basement. Among them is a little copy of a Barye Lion. You know of the fine collection of original Barye pieces in the Walters' Art Gallery, I'm sure. Also in 309 is a collection of originals, all of them animals, I think. If you have made one of these yourself, you know that I am referring to the things known as soap sculps, made by some of the first-year classes. If you haven't made one, you've missed lots of fun, for what joy is greater than that of a creator? You see your lump of soap pass from one thing to an- fC0ntinued on Page 1151 A Perfect Period MARGARET HowsER '29 ERHAPS SOME OF You feel that you have never had a perfect period. Ah! you mis- erable unfortunates! What you have missed! It is for your benefit that I am now declaiming on this subject. Therefore, heed well-and envy not, for you too may some day experience a per- fect period. I shall tell you, for example, about a perfect English period. The very brightest class in E. H.

Girls,,' said the teacher, your assignment for tomorrow -more noise from without-louder- your assignment for tomorrow-pardon me, but will you close the door, Mary? A draft swept down the corridor and the door closed with a resounding bang! The class jumped. To continue, observed Miss --, who had jumped along with the class, your assignment will be -The door opened and a sweet-faced little teacher entered. Pardon me, Miss--, but I left my roll book on your desk. Thank you so much. She tripped out and the door closed softly. Well, continued the teacher, your assign- ment, as I previously started to say, will be to take the nextu- Again the portal opened and a fat, genial old man peered inside, a puzzled expression in his bespectacled eyes. The teacher went to his assistance. Excuse me,', he was heard to say, but where may I find the principal?,' He was told and the class once more awaited the verdict. Girls, -the teacher spoke a bit hurriedly- before another thing interrupts us',- The class again poised pens joyfully. Suddenly, loud coughing came from the rear of the room. Miss -, may I get some water P Barely waiting for an assenting nod, the victim of the cough made her exit, allowing the door to swing to according to its will, which was very strong just then. 'fThe assignment, said the resolute teacher, will be - The door was flung wide and this time a solemn black face appeared. A dark gen- tleman entered, his arms full of crockery.

Yet again the wooden panels moved and a smiling miss stepped daintily into the room and deposited a long sheet of paper on the desk. Then she daintily tripped out again, smiling graciously. To proceed, said Miss -. A sudden en- trance was made into the room by an excited figure. Miss 1, youire wanted on the phone ! Pardon me, girls.

Oh, yes! Tomorrow's assignment will be to take -- Another figure appeared on the scene and prof- fered the teacher a paper and pencil. Hastily reading it, she scribbled an answer.

But, honestly, I think itls terrible the way girls never study for those Long tests. Lots of them really could do it if they tried. Miss H. That's a good subject for argument, isn't it? I'll mention it to the class to-mor- row. Mary. Let's settle it here and now. Should students study? Miss H. Some of them don't even know what 'study' means. Doris, you aren't doing any- thing-suppose you look up the work in the dictionary. Give a clear definition of the terms,-that's the proper start. D. V. H. What word, Miss Hartman? Alice.

Doris picks up a magazine and immediately forgets her surroundingsj Virginia. frecoveringj Since I rnnst-studying is good for the teacher's nerves. Dorothy S. Yes, but how about our nerves? Alice. Well, it helps our nerves, because we get awfully nervous when we don't know the answers to test questions. Miss H. Well, from the looks of these Long papers you all ought to be nervous wrecks. Mary. Besides, I don't think studying is good for people. Look how it chokes their imagina- tion, look how it hinders their resources, how it checks their originality. just think how knowing all the facts for a test would prevent them from straining their minds to capacity. Furthermore- Dorothy H. fyawningj What, more? Gee! THE EASTERN ECHO Dorothy S. Is that the kind of behavior I've taught you, Oswald? Miss H. And think how some of our greatest poets disliked to study. Of college labours, of the Lecturer's room All studded round as thick as chairs could stand, Let others that know more speak as they known-that's what Wordsworth said. fMary and Dorothy nod delightedly, Vir- ginia and Alice look abashed, then recover and start to reply, but hesitate. Virginia offers instead another argumentj Virginia. And then, look how studying helps the family. You know all the Latin words for Mother's cross-word puzzles, you can correct the family's grammar, show Father how to write a business letter, show Little Brother how his electric train works. Mary. But think how selfish that would be, mo- nopolizing all the hard work. Miss H. I'm afraid you're getting facetious, and this is a serious argument. Dorothy, what do you have to say? Dorothy S. VV ell, there's another point. All men are born free and equal, and why not let them stay that way? It's not fair for some to study more and thus know more than others. D. V. H. That's what I think. QEverybody gasps, but Doris is apparently again oblivious of her surroundingsj Virginia. That last argument's really absurd. Be- sides, it's good for oneis morals to study. We know we ought to study, and if we didn't, we wouldn't ought to do. Mary. Absolutely, and if we do, when we should do, what we ought to do, that we don't do, we wouldn't do what we do do. Dorothy H. Ah, I like that-say it again. Dorothy S. Hush, Oswald, she's just being face- tious again. Miss H. A fact's a fact-and the fact here is that something's wrong with that argument.

Virginia, I think some times you do show evidences of a sense of humor. fVir- ginia blushes modestlyj Mary. I-Iere's an absolutely irrefutable one.

Il se trouve sur une haute colline dom- inant un beau parc. Il a trois ailes importantes et il a aussi une petite aile. L'aile de l'est etait batie par Louis XII, elle est musee maintenant. L'ai1e Gaston etait batie par Gaston, Duc d'Or- leans, et touchant cette aile est l'aile la plus fa- meuse, l'une qui etait batie par Francois I. Dans cette aile est l'escalier en limacon.

Das war nur, Weil er sehr gut gekleidet war. Die Erzahlung ist komisch, aber wir lernen auch viel von den Leuten die in den kleinen Stadten wohnten, ehe die Eisen- bahn von einer kleinen Stadt zur anderen fuhr. Wir lernen auch etwas von den Stadten, welche wenige Straszen hatten. Die altesten Hauser dieser Stadte hatten Sinnbilder, auf welchen ges- chrieben standg zum Schwert, zum Ritter, zum Meerwunder, u. dglg auf den neueren Hausern sah man, zur Eintracht, zur Liehe, zum Frohsinn, u. s. w. An vielen Straszenecken waren alte Tiirme, die sehr schon waren. Die Einwohner hegten nicht oft Argwohng sie glaubten den groszten Teil von dem, was sie horten. Sie konnten nicht verstehen wie man sehr arm sein konnte, denn sie selber hatten Geld genug, um was sie haben wollten zu kaufen, Sie waren gute Geschaftsleute, obgleich ihre Ges- chafte klein waren. Morgens arbeiteten sieg abends besuchten sie ihre Freunde und spielten immer Karten. Die Leute von diesen kleinen Stadten lebten sehr ruhig, aber sie Waren zu- frieden. Dennoch kam es ihnen manchmal lang- weilig in ihren kleinen Stiidten von, denn nichts Groszes geschah dort.

It is heard very seldom, even by those who are nearest her, but that wise expression on her face leads us to believe that what she does say is worth hearing. ORRIL BALLOU 2431 Barclay Street Orril is always willing to help one.

She deserves three cheers and a final rahl' for the way she has got her knot under control. MILDRED BENNETT 2127 Aiken Avenue Can she dance? Well, we guess! That light curly head is seen ever and anon at lunchtime, in the gym. And she's just one of the sweetest '29 can produce. Page 3 6 f NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE SYLVIA MARIE BIERETZ 4411 Forest View Avenue Bibby doesnlt at all Ht a coun- cil member, yet that's what this classmate is. Truly, she has the correct amount of dignity, pres- tige, etc., etc., but, unfortunately, we know her better than that and, folks, if ever you have to pay an enormous price to see our Sylvia as an acrobat or toe dancer, please don't say we didn't warn you! DOROTHY BILLINGSLEY 4108 Idaho Avenue Folks ask, Who is that demure little maiden in DI Fl' Why, that is Dorothy. She is attractive, does good work, and is well liked by her school chums. We've also found Dorothy to be a loyal sup- porter of 'Z9. HELEN FRANCIS BISHOP 2018 W. North Avenue Helen is usually seen with a chum while in school, for she has many friends. May she always be so happy and cheerful! MIRIAM L. BLANCHARD 1422 Covington Street Miriam is a quiet, sweet little thing, and one who possesses that excellent thing in womanf, Mir- iam is gentle and ladylike, and she sings like a siren, too, as you'd know if you'd sat in front of her in music class for a year. DORA BLOCK 25 Lloyd Street Dora is generally so quiet that she can travel hither and yon and one isn't even aware of it. She must have been brought up on the old adage, l'Silence is gol- den. fSecret: when Dora is among her own best friends she wakes up, so it's probably only shynessj Page 37 SHIRLEY BLUM 2203 E. Fayette Street Five feet two, eyes of blue - or are they brown? Shirl is such a changeable little piece of humanity! However, in spite of her diminutive size, she has aheart which is about six times as big as she is. MARY BLUMBERG 2422 E. Baltimore Street Capable, dependable, and good- natured, Mary makes a wow', of a homeroom president. As an English teacher, Mary will be un- surpassed. SYLVIA BLUMENSTEIN 510 Light Street Syl is quite an orator. You should hear her say the Gettys- burg Addressf' Perhaps here is another Webster in the making. GERTRUDE BLUMENTHAL 4134 Pimlico Road Not only is there sunshine in Gertrude's hair but in her charac- ter, too. Everybody knows that she has a radiant personality. Be- sides that, she certainly does shine in Mathematics-ask the teacher. NAOMI BODINE 1405 E. Baltimore Street Peppy is peppy all right. In fact she is so peppy in classes that all the rest of her fellow students feel like a dull gray background for this Latin genius. And-oh my -we forgot to mention her aes- thetic abilities. Our Naomi is following in the footsteps of a famous dancer whom everyone at Eastern knows, and again we pre- dict a genius. By the way, this is a piece of news that even the press has not got hold of yet. THE CLASS OF RUTH AUGUSTA BOHANNON 3012 Weaver Avenue We often wonder how the side- lines at any E. H. S. game would look without Bo.', She is an in- dispensable and invaluable fixture at all of them. We can also dis- tinguish that Carrot-top'! every day in Gunny's maddening throng. Bon is always surrounded by admirers and they are juniors, of course. Well! Who could blame them? HILDA BOMSTEIN 1003 Low Street Hindu, alias The Class Clown, knows her athletics and her studies. Besides that she knows how to spread that conta- gious schoolgirl disease, the Gig- gles. ELIZABETH BOWEN 325 S. Conkling Street Lib goes in for basketball and Bugs H. Such a combination! But she does both equally well. We wish to say it is no wonder she has as many friends as she has. REVELA C. BOZMAN 342 E. 20th Street Friends, we take great pleasure in writing about Rev. We asked for an interview and she answered firmly that she was not prone to be self-centered ! We retired gracefully but in turning around we saw her laughing hilariously. That's the real Rev -full of fun, but unless you find this out for yourself you will forever be- lieve she is a most dignified crea- ture. FRANCES BRADEN 815 Winston Avenue A future buyer of Hutzler's-our own Frannie, a studious CFD sales- manship girl. But, be that as it may, her general good nature and cheery Hi! not to mention her giggle, are welcomed heartily at Eastern. CHARLOTTE R. BRENIZE 2064 Kennedy Avenue Chick is fond of carrying a brilliant yellow dog of the Dis- mal Desmond breed around on class days and such occasions. VVe believe that his name is Gennie, and he is certainly a very sagacious pup indeed. Charlotte likes Eng- lish, despises French, and adores Drawing. ' ROSALIND L. BRITTON 2203 Lake Avenue Deedee!' is extremely quiet and therefore few people know what a wonderful friend she makes. You seldom hear her and that is why a keen imagination and other in- teresting characteristics are so thor- oughly hidden. Since she seems so accomplished in music, perhaps Paderewski will soon become fu- riously jealous! ELISE BROCKMAN 2720 Jefferson Street Elise has such a businesslike, se- rious, studious appearance! One would think a frivolous thought never entered her head. However, we are told that appearances are often deceptive, and we have an idea that Elise is not really half as serious as she looks. LAURA FULD BROMWELL 2809 Echodale Avenue 'fPuzzums has high aspirations and, what is more, she has that elusive quality of stick-at-iveness that will help her to realize them. We wish her the very best of luck! PALMYRE MARIE BROWN 225 S. Ellwood Avenue Palmyre is another quiet miss. She's often found sitting in the first row of the Physics lecture room, translating Latin Cwe pre- sume it's Latinj. One thing we'll say-we've never found Palmyre minus a ready smile. Page 38 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE ANNA E. BUBENHEIM 1815 N. Washington Street Anne always has a smile on her face. No wonder she attracts: one and all. She'll certainly be a success in the world with her pleasing personality. Her favorite CFD subject is Shorthand. MARY MARGARET BURNESS 239 S. Calhoun Street Mary is exceptionally quiet but she's something of an institution in our class. We need someone who always knows her French. Besides she's restful when there are so many talkers. MARIE LOUISE BUTZLER 1616 N. Washington Street Have you ever heard Marie give an involved description in Chem ? Whewl No wonder she can drag home a report card full of E's! Her favorite pastimes are blush- ing and dancing, with time out for talking and giggling. MARY CANN 28 E. 25th Street To look at Mary's cheerful coun- tenance, one wouldn't realize how overworked she is. However, Mary makes no secret of the fact that, with her editorial work, lessons, etc., she is actually worn to a frazzlenl In all seriousness, though, editing the Echo is no easy task, and Mary's success as an ed- itor is well known. V! ESTHER S. CAPLAN 1602 E. Fairmount Avenue Esther is rarely seen without Edna Armstrong. The former has been letting her hair grow since we first knew her, but the coveted knot is knot yet in evidence. Es always displays a large amount of class spirit whenever there's any excuse, by wearing yel- low sweaters, etc. Would that we all possessed such enthusiasm! Page 3 9 OP W1- IDA CAPLAN 118 S. Collington Avenue Ide's motto is Better late than never -at least, we presume it is, since she so frequently strolls in at 9:05. But this does not inter- fere with her being a good friend to all. ELVIE LEE CARLTON 2103 Charles Street El vie is one of the more serious elements of D1. She has great ar- tistic ability, having studied art for several years at the Maryland Institute. She also has a certain nonchalant dignity that is quite fas- cinating, especially when exercised a quarter of a second before a bell rings when there is half the length of the hall between her and Miss Buchholz's room. ALICE C. CARMINE 88 Baltimore Avenue, Dundalk It always happens just after the notices have been read. Virginia pleads, 'AGirls, bring your class- dues ! and Alice, from the back of the room, chimes in, And don't forget your ,Echo money! Alice is never worried about anything- not even about unprepared Vergilf HELEN D. CASSIDY 1803 N. Calvert Street Is there anyone who doesn't know little Patl'-the first pres- ident of 29? She is a petite, dark- eyed damsel, trailed by an admiring Frosh-or is she a Soph, now, Pat? With her head perpetually tilted to one side, Helen wends her way through our midst, a deserv- edly popular and admired person- age. ROSE LILLIAN CHAIKIN 531 N. Washington Street Rose is a cheery little person, and in spite of the fact that she was a villain'l in a class meeting play, and a pirate in the Glee Club affair, we've always found her per- fectly harmless. THE CLASS OF ELLIS CHAPMAN 1815 E. 30th Street Ellis is always very dignified, her dignity being perhaps her most prominent characteristici It is combined with a gracious manner, a low voice, and a pleasing gentle- ness. This damsel is tall and slen- der, and has blue-grey eyes. She is an ambitious student, and suc- ceeds in whatever she attempts. CATHERINE A. CHERRY 6235 York Road Here is a very, wry up-to-date Senior. She is clever and full of pep. She is not over studious, it is true, but just one of those friends you like to talk to. Everyone thinks so, we know, for 'lCass is popular with boys and girls, and, though no returns have been re- ceived from the faculty, we be- lieve with the teachers also. SUZANNE C. CHRIST 214 S. Patterson Park Avenue i'Sue Christ is a jolly sort of person. She can make a body laugh in the midst of an announce- ment of a test. Now that's re- markable, friends! She can sit in assembly with an air of the deep- est interest whether the speaker sings or the singer speaks, and she is most accomplished in giving oral reports in history. GENEVIEVE LOUISE CLARKE 4644 Kernwood Avenue The girl with the ponjola, ever surrounded by Freshies -that's Gen, She always has a smile, and something witty to say. Inci- dentally, she's the dandicst cheer leader we have known. When she says Let!s have it, girls! she gets it. GERTUDE MARY CLARKSON 2810 Rueckert Avenue Please don't push, folks! This is the famous history student who simply cannot wait until history outline is assigned but must get it in advance! And as for getting chemistry experiments checked- she's a perfect marvel! Perhaps she will write the history of Chemistry, thus combining her tal- ents. EVELYN R. CLEMENTS 208 E. 24th Street Evelyn is an earnest worker and a good student. And you should see her get class dues from the poor unfortunate girls in her home- room class! MARGARET LOUISE COARD 5007 Ivanhoe Avenue Little Margaret! An earnest student, a good worker, and a real friend to everyone. We wish you the best of luck in any undertak- ing, Margaret, and we know you will succeed. GUSSIE COHEN 1426 N. Broadway Gussie is cut out to be a crack- erjack secretary, for she certainly can take dictation. As for pound- ing a typewriter-don't mention it! Here's luck to you, Gus. MINA COHEN 2101 E. Baltimore Street Mina, they say, has quite dis- tinguished herself in book-keeping. We expect her to become someone's highly paid book-keeper in the fu- ture. PEARL G. COHEN 2303 Tioga Parkway HP. G. and Dutch are veri- table twins-always together. Are they a quiet pair? Oh, no! Pearl seems to have that much-desired intellectual curiosity -if we are to judge by her constant queries. Page 40 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE SARAH COHEN 5104 Queensberry Avenue This quiet little miss is one of our salesmanship girls, but we don't know whether she is better known for her good nature or her sales ability. Her customers can't help being good-natured when Sarah asks if she can help make their selections. THELMA COLE 2005 N. Washington Street A sympathetic listener and a real friend-that's Thelma Is she a good student? just ask anyone who knows her. We wish this promising stenographer all success! MARTHA FRANCES CONRAD 1614 Jackson Street Martha's secret ambition is to one day be as slender as Greta, Garbo. But, despite her rotundity, she's no stranger at basket ball practice. The energy she uses in being loyal to the Gold and White should make anyone slender. MADELINE COOPER 513 E. 23rd Street A pleasing personality and a ready helping hand are Madls outstanding characteristics and, af- ter all, they include everything. CATHERINE CRAWFORD 3161 Ravenwood Avenue Kay'l Crawford is one of those persons who can enter in the midst of confusion and put to rights the fragments,-or, rather, gather up the pieces. A leader is Kay,-ge- nial, friendly, and capable,-a true friend and a loyal classmate as well as President of D3. Page 41 LILLIAN E. CRUSSE 223 S. Eaton Street Q That worried look-what does it mean? Misconduct mark? No. New History outline and no Harts in the library. It's the big tragedy of Lil's life. DOROTHY F. CULLISON 2402 E. Federal Street lf you want something done and done well, then call on Dorothy. She is not only a student of note, but a good sport, and a true friend. VIRGINIA T. CUNNINGHAM 304 Winston Avenue, Govahs Gin'Hf' the famous bareback rider! And speaking of tickling the kcysi'-well, the music Gin- nee' plays is enough to make our historic statue of Minerva go down to the gym at lunch time. Gin- neel' is full of fun and pep, is good company and a fine sport. ELIZABETH MARIE DAMITZ 501 N. Linwood Avenue Quiet, conscientious and yet fun- loving, with sparkling eyes! A fine combination! You take with you, Beth, the loving thoughts of your many friends. DOROTHY MATILDA DAMM 904 N. Kresson Street Dot is an energetic, earnest scholar and means everything she says and does. She's kind-hearted, good-natured, and a friend who will stick by through thick and thin. THE CLASS OF ALICE RUTH DARBY 1 N. Kenwood Avenue Who is that titian blonde of D7 whose ambition is to sing? Oh, that is Darb, the happy-go-lucky girl whose motto is Why worry?'! It's Darb's habitual smile that makes her friends innumerable. BEATRICE L. DAVENPORT 2425 Guilford Avenue And now we have something to write home about! Bee is not one to recline lazily on the dav- enportl' when there's some task to be done. The most important thing of all is Bee herself, who is always so amiable and sweet. I.aurels for Bee ! B. ELIZABETH DAVIES 143 S. East Avenue This studious young lady is al- ways to be seen Utoting' a huge pile of schoolbooks around, with Z1 'pink or a green smock floating airily along behind her. She is an excellent math student and works hard over all her subjects. With her steady smile, her great friendliness, and her capacity for hard work and intensive study, she is certain to succeed in the fu- ture. MARY E. PICKETT DAVIS 1345 U Street, S. E. Washington, D. C. VVe nominate Mary to our Hall of Fame because she gave an in- imitable performance as Sir George, because she is on the lirlzo Art Staff, because she looks Irish, and because her full name is Mary Elizabeth Pickett Davis. NANCY B. DAVIS 1115 N. Bond Street Nancy is a rather tall, quiet, dig- nified young lady. VVe can't imag- ine her, for instance, skipping wild- ly down the hall as some of our seniors do. Not that she's the too dignified type! Nancy's very good- natured. HELEN MATILDA DEAN 4034 Kate Avenue 'ljackien has a reputation among her friends for being one of the most liberal persons they know. She doesn't talk much, or loudly, but there's wisdom lurking behind those eyes. ESTHER DEBELIUS 601 N. Robinson Street VVe wonder from whom Es gets all those West Point pins she wears, and from whom all those letters come. We wonder. MARGARET DERSCH 1229 E. Preston Street Margaret is small-but ener- getic! And can she talk? We should think that through Ger- tie's example she might gain some of that Useniorlyl' dignity, but al- though Margaret and Gertrude have been almost constantly to- gether for several years, no results along that line have been noted. ANNA ELIZABETH DIERING 11 E. Lanvale Street Anna is one of those delightful maidens who possesses a charming smile and a sweet disposition. For proof, just remember how she toiled and labored on the property committee of the Senior play, and still retained a sense of humor. ROBERTA DIGGS 2939 St. Paul Street If we Fight our way through the throng of assorted Freshies, Sophs, etc., We descry a tall, willowy girl with large blue eyes and wavy, light-brown hair. This is Bertie, a staunch supporter of the Council, and a prominent and active mem- ber of the Glee Club and the I.. L. C. She also displayed talent in the Christmas play, and takes part, in fact, in almost every E. H. activity, Page 42 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE g GRACE V. DOTTERER 234 N. Chester Street She's one of a pair, for you never see 'fIke without Mike. Those two hunt together. Witll more than a slight share of the mischief-making tendency, our Gracie has learned quite well the way to the ollice. MARJORIE DRACH 229 E. 25th Street Did you see Marjorie as the sweet, rather old-fashioned heroine of DZ's play? Then you can hardly imagine her in the role of DZ's homeroom president, sharply calling the class to order. Yet Betty'l and Marjorie are one and the same! EVELYN DRURY 1831 Bolton Street NVe haven't been able to think of an adjective that would fittingly describe Ev. One word simply will not do it-nor would several. Ev is everything that is sweet and lovable! MYRTLE MARY DUNCAN 4211 Stanwood Avenue One of the prodigies of our Ver- gil class is Myrtle. Though she has a very soft, feminine voice, she is constantly being picked on for renditions of dissipated Roman gen- tlemen, etc. Perhaps her ruddy complexion helps the authorities in making a choice. EVA RUTH DVORINE 2207 E. Baltimore Street Can she talk? VVell, she's graced with that gift. She skips her way merrily along seeking a good time. She'S some dancer, too! But Eve is also a cheerful, earnest worker and gives promise of being a fine stenographer. Page 43 MYRTLE L. EGGLESTON 1713 E. Lafayette Avenue Lee'l is a little worker. She is very quiet but, whenever you meet her, a cheery smile and a friendly hello tell you what she really is. These quiet people are nearly always the ones with the greatest talents, orators excepted, for Lee will hardly be that. DOROTHY EITEL 1539 N. Caroline Street 'lDot can generally be seen with compact and mirror hastily making renovations, but in the meantime keeping up a sociable chatter. It seems that she has no special hobby. Dot has a Fine sense of humor, is a genial friend, and an excellent door-keeper of D3. IRMA ELIZABETH ELGERT 4502 Arabia Avenue Irml' is very quiet and re- served. Her particular fault is that she IS very partial-partial to blue. YL A JANETTE ERDMAN 2002 E. Fayette Street 19 a little French doll with her ustrous black locks and lovely omplexion. She's a quiet, good- n tured little lass and always smil- ing. 'fBabyl' is a dancer, too. I Everybody admits that Baby LI RACHEL BARRY ERLINE 1907 Homewood Avenue She may seem quite dignified and solemn at first sight, but when the spirit of fun moves Raef she is the life of the party. With her earnestness she's bound to succeed in whatever she undertakes. THE CLASS OF EVELYN B. EVERETT 4604 White Avenue Ev might be the shortest in '29, but she is not hard to find. One can always locate her strolling down the halls with f'Shrimpie and Dot, or in 208. She must catch that certain street-car-won- der why? EDNA A. FEHLEISEN 3222 Avon Avenue One never sees Ed alone. She always has a bunch of lower classmen tagging along. She's a dandy sport and a real go-getter. And can she read notices?-and howll ANNE FELDSTEIN 826 N. Broadway Is there anything wrong in that? Remember? Anne was Flannel-feet in the H384 Min- strels. As may be gathered, Anne is a snappy E. H. girl-very witty, too. Consequently, Anne has many friends. MILDRED GRACE FIEDLER 5915 Greenhill Avenue Here is the rival of Long and Tanner, famous English scholars! Here is the one who can collect Echo money and make you pay in advance in the bargain. It is really remarkable, the soliciting powers Milly has. Honestly, she is so cheerful about it, and, well, we guess if Milly asked ns for any- thing within reason we'd do it. HELEN FINCH 3810 S. Hanover Street Finchie', is all smiles always. She is a renowned artist in East- ern's halls and not only docs she draw mannequins in the latest styles but it seems that Finchie herself follows Dame Fashion. Anyway, we can't decide whether in the future Finchie will draw or be drawn, because if any artist or movie director misses Finchie he surely needs a sign, Help the Blind. KATHERINE A. FINK 534 N. Luzerne Avenue Did ja do your English?',- that's Finkie's favorite expres- sion. But, despite her seeming con- cern, nothing worries her, she is one of the type properly termed even-tempered. CELIA FIRESTEIN 33 S. Washington Street Celia is a quiet little girl from whom one does not hear much, but some fine day we expect big things of her. MILDRED CAROL FLEAGLE 1922 E. 31st Street Mildred is a person who believes in laughter as balm for the soul. She is generally to be found in Miss C.'s room, apparently discuss- ing affairs of state. We are con- vinced that Mitzi will one day be a VVall Street bear, as a re- sult of her knowledge of financial matters Qacquired from her skilled handling of all the Echo pence which she is always demanding so vociferouslyj. FLORENCE FOREMAN 912 N. Eden Street Chickie is not the type that gentlemen are supposed to prefer. However, we are sure this is only a minor difficulty, for if Chickie makes as many friends after she leaves school as she has made in the past three years, she need have no qualms over the popularity question. 'DOROTHY MAE FLEMING 2003 Greenmount Avenue 'tDot is our Grecian goddess. She is T. D. Sz H. CTall, Dark, and Handsomel and it seems that Sophies and Juniors have been Finding this out recently. Any- way, Dot is popular all around and a good sport. Certainly that pro- file would be most appropriate on a magazine cover entitled, for in- stance, Dallying with Diana or 'AAmbling with Apollo. Page 44 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE' ELIZABETH H. FOWLER 4211 Parkwood Avenue VVe wonder why Lib is so ab- solutely crazy about football games 1 And what would happen if some- one told Lib that she couldn't laugh or tease any more? Well, she'd be sport enough to say she'd try another way! But, seriously, we enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope for an answer to the first question! MARY LILLIAN HUGHES FOX Purdue and Woodbourne Avenues, Govans Mary is the young lady who ap- pears on class days wearing so much gold and white that it out- rivals the gold of her hair, and sets her classmates to wondering where she gets it all. Mary her- self is l4 carat and just as sweet as she can be. MINNIE FOX 1400 Aisquith Street Of course everyone knows that Minn is going to be a future dancing star. She certainly did made a hit in the 38z4 Min- strel Showf' Perhaps Minn would rather be a History CU teacher. BELLE FRANK 3214 Greenmount Avenue Belle is an earnest student and a quiet playmate. But as they say that empty vessels make the most noise, that sounds well for Belle. DOROTHY KATHRYN FRANK 1703 E. 32nd Street And now we have a record- smasher l l'Dot'l has been the president of her homeroom class since she first came to Eastern and she is one of the most efficient and capable girls in 1929. VVe owe much of the howling success of our play to this young lady, and there are lots of other things we owe her too. Page 45 LILLIAN FRANK 720 Aisquith Street A serene, black-haired girl with Flashing white teeth, who excels in shorthand, and apparatus work in the gym-that's NiYip ANNE NAOMI FRANK 3009 N. Calvert Street One of the trio in D1 is this black-haired lass who is forever studying-sometimes even in Gon- trumls-and consequently bringing glory to her homeroom class. Her ambition is to be a toe dancer. NORMA FREDERICK 1716 E. 33rd Street A pair of twinkling eyes, two smiling lips, a darling little dim- ple, then a What ho, lass ?l' and we know that Norma, one of the Four Musketeers, is near. Al- ways gay, Nutts imparts her good humor to others by never- ceasing witty remarks. She is quite an actress, too, judging from her parts in In the Secret Place and Lady Ursula. And couldn't she joke-edit the Echo! CAROL FRENCH 200 Homewood Terrace Carol is a grey-eyed lass with a shy manner. She is very precise and neat in all her ways. She takes great care of her History Notebook, carrying it carefully about with her, and placing it on a red satin cushion at her bedside when she retires. We wonder at such an unusual interest in such an unusual object. MARY FRENCH 611 N. Kenwood Avenue Mary is one of the sweetest and best beloved girls in DMZ. She is a splendid music teacher too. Some day we expect to hear that she is making a concert tour of the good old U. S, A. THE CLASS OF GERTRUDE M. FRIEDMAN 6834 Harford Road Jerry turns on the loudspeaker at 8:50 A. M., and very conven- iently forgets to turn it off! She broadcasts incessantly till 2:40, but her listeners are repaid by the worthwhile and entertaining things she says. 'fJerry is a sure cure for the blues. LOLA VIRGINIA FURR 1909 E. 31st Street As one of the Four Musketeers we find Fuzzy a happy-go-lucky, come-what-may sort of little per- son, with a permanent smile and a saucy little turned-up-nose. Our Fuzz seems to be turning to elocution. For proof, come up to 312 any day and hear her recite Casey at the Bat. Oh Fuzzl FLORA FERN GALBRETH 4513 Mainiield Avenue Here are the H and the O and all of the other important elements of our chemistry class. Fernie has a great career stretching out ahead of her: and we're sure, with her ability to mix explosives and churn acids, while smiling benignly on a patient, she will make a sooth- ing and comforting nurse. VIVIAN GAMBRELL 300 N. Highland Avenue Did you ever notice Viv's sparkling blue eyes? She always wears clothes to bring out the blue- ness, but can we blame her? They're very attractive. IDA GAMMERMAN 16 S. Ann Street Ida was the only girl in DMS who could display such lovely curls. How did she do it? Many of the other girls tried Curlers but their curls were never as successful or half as pretty as Ida's. MARIA RYLAND GARNETT 4703 Pennington Avenue M'ree is a merry but demure little miss, who likes to teach lit- tle children. Well, we think as a kindergarten teacher she would be a great success. FLORENCE GEISS 1534 Patterson Park Avenue Florence is a dependable young person, who is always smiling and never has a care. We prophesy that she will some day be a stenog- rapher in the VVhite House. ZELDA B, GELDMAN 1933 E. Baltimore Street NVl1eu it comes to syncopation, f'Zel can tickle those ivories. She does love her jazz, that girl! But that doesn't prevent her from being a good student, nor take too much of her time from Eastern's affairs. LILLIAN LEE GERSHMAN 3903 Park Heights Avenue Everyone likes Lib because she is so goodanatured and happy-go- lucky. One of her best traits is her naturalness. She's a regular go'getter and would rather dance than eat. IDA R. GERBER l536 N. Payson Street Ida is a rather brisk, efficient sort of person. She's always on the job and not much escapes her. She has a gift, too, of actually being vzmdcrrztcly talkative-neither too much so nor too little. Page 46 2v'pINET2L'ElN TWENTY-NINE RUTH E. GIFFORD 5529 Sefton Avenue Just when everyone is struggling' for a knot Gil becomes indi- vidual and bobs her Howing tresses! But presto! how our sly li'l class- mate has stepped out !-And all because of her bob ! Gil seems quiet to a casual observer but really she's full o' fun, if you don't believe it ask Aunt Ada! DOROTHY S. GLADSTONE 1919 E. 31st Street Right this way, Ladies and Gentlemen! Colleen Moore's dou- ble! That is what all the fair Easternites say about Dot. She can be found in the gym any day at lunch time, and she's some dancer! ESTHER S. GARTNER 1315 E. Lexington Street Giggles has the incurable dis- ease that her name implies. At all times of the day she is engaged in this occupation, and consequently affects all those near her. MILDRED EUNICE GLASS 139 N. Front Street Are you in doubt what book to read? Ask Mildred-she's read ev- erything. She may ask you what book you are reading, but her re- ply will invariably be, Oh, 1've read thatf! Mildred gives promise of being a successful stenographer. MARGARET GOETZKE 608 Melville Avenue Marge'! is so quiet that we hardly know she is in the room. A very sweet, gentle, and kind girl is Margaret. Page 47 SARA BEATRICE GOLDBERG 510 N. Calvert Street Hee is just a small package, but she has qualities that distin- guish her among her classmates. Her seriousness, unaffected man- ner, and quiet appreciation of hu- mor make her an interesting per- son. ANN GOLDSTEIN 2920 Norfolk Avenue How can I reduce? That's ,, . . ., . . Spasms favorite questlon. VVe advise her to stop her worrying and to keep up her schoolgirl complexion. MILDRED E. GREEN 1208 N. Chester Street Mildred's voice is ever low. gen- tle and sweet. Mil's fondness CU for English has puzzled the best brains of Eastern. MARGARET C. GREENHOLTZ 1506 Marshall Street Here is an ardent admirer of art. Already her work is on display on the third floor in EHSl6Yll'S Mu- seum. Besides, Peg enjoys fun like all the rest and is ever ready to add to the good times of her friends. History seems to be her favorite study. although we wouldn't dare to tell you why. LILLIAN A. GRIFFNER Linthicum, Md. Lillian doesn't talk much, but has a smile that says volumes. Her smile is famous, and very attract- ive. It is usually accompanied by the faintest suggestion of a dimple on each cheek and a merry light in those grey eyes. THE CLASS OF HELEN B. GROSMAN 4907 Belair Road Helen came from Massachusetts not so long ago, as one can tell by her f'Englishly sort of speech. She seems to have the quality of adaptability, as she has become really one of us in a very short time. DORIS GRUBER 1900 Kennedy Avenue At a glance, one can detect Doris's pleasant nature, which must be a gift. At any rate, one rarely finds a girl who is always as sweet as Doris. MARIAN L. GRUELLMEYER 1500 N. Patterson Park Avenue Behold, our future channel swimmer! 'Tis true, Marian has hopes running in that direction, but it's not her only talent. Can she sing? Ask '29. She has helped while away many a tiresome hour singing for us at Gontrum's. MILDRED HADSALL 601 N. Clinton Street Vtfith her western accent Mildred beguiles everyone who listens to her. Such a voice-'las clear as a bell.'l CNO, this isn't a radio ad- vertisementj Mildred's motto is Absence makes the heart grow fonderf' and she abides by it faith- fully once every week. V. RUTH HALL 1311 E. North Avenue VVe remember that when this dashing and lovely blonde hrst came to Eastern, she wore those golden locks in sundry curlsg but in late years she's been tucking her hair into a sedate knot. Such is the effect of the dignity attend- ant upon Seniorship! Ruth has blue, blue eyes and gentle ways, and is always blithe and smiling. She is quite an accomplished pi- anist. AZALEE META HARDESTY 3102 N. Calvert Street Now here we have fun, grins, and teasing-step right up and take your choice! Az', is right on the go,l' and, from our experience, we think she ought to make min- strel shows her business. However, this friend has some serious ac- complishments too. She can make a piano whistle, sing, or talk, and the way she plays the artist-! All we can say is we wonder what Az will try next. HILMA E. HARGRAVE 1827 N. Regester Street Hil claims that all she asks for is a good hike, so you see we have here one who would have ideally fitted in on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. For indoor sports Hilma likes typing,-and well she might, for she's an ex- pert in this line! ELLEN RUTH HARKER 2900 Rueckert Avenue Ellen is quiet, but we feel sure she is keeping something from us, for at times she seems so peppy and shows such a sense of humor that we know the quiet Ellen isn't the real Ellen. She seems to favor Home Economics and motoring, is quite industrious, and a good stu- dent. MARGARET E. HARNSTROM 1340 Cambria Street Margaret is a rather quiet, dig- nified sort of person. She works hard at her studies, and is re- warded at report-time. She has round blue eyes and light-brown hair, and a rather solemn expres- sion-although we have surprised a smile now and then. B. ELIZABETH HARP 722 N. Linwood Avenue Laugh and the world laughs with you -that's our Mike ln See Mike and give your blues a chase. jolly and gay, this fair young damsel, whenever seen in Easterifs halls, is always accompanied by her pal, Ike. Page 48 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE KATHERINE D. HARRIS 572 University Parkway I don't know a thing,'l Kak'l says. But A friend in need is a friend indeed and Kak is al- ways ready to help when the gray- matter goes back on us. She is talented both musically and artis- tically, and has done some lovely work at the Maryland Institute. J. EVANGELINE HARVEY 5204 Belleville Avenue Van constitutes the Harvey half of the Hayes-Harvey Com- bination. She never seems to be bothered about anything except, perhaps, finding Arline when the two are Cby accident, of coursej separated. This, however, occurs seldom-wry seldom. HELEN A. HAWKINS 3901 Hadley Square Helen is so petite that she must get dreadfully tired from stagger- ing around with so much hair. But wet don't blame her for not sac- rificing that crowning glory, as she is the envy of all those poor souls who are trying to coax their unruly locks into a little bun on the back of their necks. DORIS V. HAWSE 2502 Hamilton Avenue Doris' charm lies in many things: in her slow, musical voice, in her quiet air of reserve, in the sparkle of her eyes, and in her conversa- tion. Praise of her poetry is too wide-spread to need ary added pub- licity here. Her chirography is quite as illegible as might be ex- pected of one of her artistic in- clinations. She is reputed to have said she lives for her Chemistry and Biology. ARLINE HAYES 2411 Calvert Street Arline is the quieter half of the famous Hayes-Harvey Combina- tion. VV e wonder what she would do if there were a rule prohibiting her from staying after school to do Latin with Van For further details about Arline, page Miss Harvey. Page 49 OLIVIA ALLISON HECK 704 Springfield Avenue A list of things Lib likes: dancing, singing, playing the nuke, basketball, and, last but not least, seeing how many times she can get Miss C1ymen's signature on late slips. THELMA E. HEIGER 1805 N. Regester Street Thelma's only serious failing Cat least, in her homeroom teacher's eyesj is not being in her seat when the bell rings. Our dearest hope is that, when she has learned to keep her place, she'll solve the mysteries of Spanish translation. ALMA MILDRED HELLER 537 E. 38th Street Regardless of her many fictitious names Cwhich do come in handy in Studyj Mildred always seems to be able to get away with that cheer- ful carefree smile. May your smile always make your way easier, Mil! VIRGINIA A. HELMSTETTER 416 Patapsco Avenue, Brooklyn Ginny is interested in styles, is a staunch supporter of the mov- ies and is, in general, a very good little Senior. This classmate is exactly five feet tall, brimming over with pep and just the type that some people we know would about face'l and follow. KATHRYN V. HENDERSON 2000 E. 31st Street Of all our auburn-haired dam- sels, Reds has the most success in tastefully harmonizing her robes of state with her titian tresses. She always looks stunning and so does her report card-which only goes to prove that she's a swell student as well as a swell dresser. THE CLASS OF DORIS G. HERRMANN 2641 N. Calvert Street Dorry tells us that she never giggles or chatters, but goes about preserving a stern and uncompro- mising dignity, with her lips dis- creetly closed in deep silence. Strange as it may seem, her pals disagree with this statement. VVell, we're remaining neutral. EVELYN R. HESSENAUER 1702 Lakeside Avenue Evelyn is rather quiet, but is right there when she is needed. She surely saved the day when she substituted at the last minute for one of the characters in D215 play at classmeeting. ANNE D. HEWITT 2632 Harford Road The girl with the southern drawl: our little Anne from Vir- ginia. She's proved her worth by never-tiring willingness to help '29. We all join in saying that Vir- giniafs loss was our gain. ANNA HIMMELFARB 718 Light Street Of course everybody remembers t'Blimboe in the Christmas play.- especially the quotation, t'Marri:-ige is of divine foundation. Don't forget your Echo money is an- other favorite speech of Anna's. EVELYN HOERR 3007 E. Glenmore Avenue Evelyn is one of the daintiest girls in our year. She reminds us of the painting of the old masters. Her sweet outer self shows plainly how sweet her inner self is. MILDRED HODGES 232 S. Chester Street Mil is a good sport, always lively, never glum. She is sweet- tempered, ready to make folks happy, and is a staunch defender of '29, MARION GRACE HOOVER 616 N. Luzerne Avenue Marion is only five feet tall, but what she lacks in size she makes up in good humor, sweetness, and fun. When not busy with her Glee Club activities, she can be found in the midst of the Four Musket- eers. Marion is an excellent ex- ample of, The best things come in little packages. MARGARET B. HOWSER Homewood Apartments Dainty, titian-haired, and full of jolly comments which keep her friends in gales of laughter most of the time-that's Marge As Joke Editor of the Echo Marge has shown that she is able to take responsibility and do hard work, as well as think up many laugh provokers. Marge is also skill- ful with her pen. And say! have you never seen this Chemistry fiend wending her way homeward with a test tube of unearthly ap- pearance? HELEN HUGHES 253 S. Ellwood Avenue Happy's entrance of 201 oc- curs exactly at 8:58 A. M. Her Sophy friends canlt resist her methods to make them feel good. She's just a happy-go-lucky kid. SADIE HUNTER 1921 Jefferson Street What would the Vergil class or the Latin club do without Sadie? We cannot decide whether she has memorized the entire vocabulary at the back of the Aeheid or whether she was born with her uncanny knowledge. At any rate, we con- fidently expect our children to study Htmfefs Translation of the Works of Vergil and other Latin Poets. Page 50 NINETICEN 7lWEgN?l'Y-NIAIEA gg RUTH HYATT 1621 Gough Street W'hen Patsy rolls her eyes :md starts to sing she has every- Dody's attention. She's got that undefinable characteristic - 'tIt. Besides that she knows how to put pep into both her studies and friends. GRACE E. IRELAND 3026 Chesley Avenue ' Most of us know Grace as the light-hearted, witty girl that she is. Of course, we know the serious side of her nature toog for she is serious, especially at times of tests and debates. We also know her as a loyal supporter of '29 and a jolly friend. KATHERINE V. JEFFERSON 413 Evesham Avenue i Katherine has that detached air gswhich is very amusing at times, but in spite of her ability to make us laugh, Jeff holds down very well the responsible position of prin- ceps quaestorum in the S. P. Q. R. THELMA JESTER D202 Ivanhoe Avenue Jes is another lover of sports, especially basket ball. Proof-she was side center on our victorious senior team. But that isn't all of her accomplishments. She is quite a talented musician, and can she Bookkeep -well ! MARGARET V. JOHNSON 9 N. Streeper Street Wiggle, Johnny, wiggle -bas- ket ball memories! And she didn't fall short when it came to signing checks and whatnots for '29, either. As for marks, our Margaret meas- ures up every time. But what else could one expect from one of our officers? Page 5 I RHODA JOHNSON U. S. Coast Guard Depot Rhoda is generally seen in the company of another lass bearing her own name. How convenient that must be when writing letters, etc! Her greatest bane in life is telling people her address, and the why's and wherefore's of it. MARGARET C. JOHNSTON 333 S. Newkirk Street Margaret hails from Virginia, talks with a decided accentg favors one with a fetching grin. She looks nice in blue, but has a weak- ness for pink. She is rather quiet, but wins where others fail. AUDREY JONES 3807 S. Fifth Street Is she in a D homeroom? 'Twas the proudest moment of her life when the othcen straightened out her schedule. If at once you don't succeed, try, try again - that's Audreyis motto. Keep try- ing, Audrey, and perhaps some day you'll get a rise out of the lady in Room 200. MARY E. KAMPHAUS 802 N. Milton Avenue T hey say Still waters run deep, and that's the way to diag- nose this case. However, when she speaks, she says volumes. As for hockey, 'fMer wields a mean stick. GLORIA KAUFMAN Hopkins Apartments Gloria is fond of concocting, at Gontrum's, the most astounding new sundaes imaginable. She pals around with Carol, usually, al- though she's been seen with a large gang of others. She also en- joys wearing her hair in various ways-sometimes up, sometimes down. Gloria is a good student and a faithful pal. THE CLASS OF HELEN M. KEACH 2501 Hermosa Avenue Hakee has forget-me-not eyes and waving locks that are enough to win her a place on any beauty poster. She can do almost any- thing and do it well, but the rea- son for her popularity is not her beauty or her capability or her pretty voice, which the Glee Club prizes, but simply -the fact that she's Helen. LILLIAN KEEN 401 Pontiac Avenue As an expert stenographer, we think Lil would make a splendid wife for one certain party. If ever you want to get Lil's,' goat call her by her middle name, 'ASherry. IDA DELANO KEGAN 3204 N. Calvert Street 'APinky is the second third of D1's trio. She is interested in lan- guages, and takes vocal lessons at the Peabody. She wants very much to go abroad. We wish you the best of luck, Pinky.l' DORIS MARY KENNARD 3802 Chesley Avenue Oh, what a nurse! Some day this may apply to Bobbie The Red Cross certainly will be fortu- nate if Bobbie is on its staff. KATHERINE E. KEYES 1333 N. Patterson Park Avenue Katherine walking quietly from room to room, appears quite digni- fied and solemn, but is she? Those who are acquainted with this lass know that she is full of fun and bubbling over with mischief. BERTHA R. KILBERG 29 N. Ann Street Let the wind blow, who cares F No wonder. Babs ' optimism is due to the fact that she possesses a wind-blown bob. VIRGINIA IRENE KILHAM 423 E. Lafayette Avenue Virginia, familiarly known as Kilham, was once the Assistant Joke Editor of the Echo, and in this capacity was frequently de- plored by a certain member of the English department for having no sense of humor. We who know her think we detect certain signs of it now and then as she chat- ers on. And itis true that she is also a. serious-minded person with a good head on her shoulders. MARGARET KIRK - 2612 Guilford Avenue Peggy', is a very quiet young lady, with a becoming modesty. She is fond of history, is a good student as a whole, and seems to look at life rather seriously out of her blue-gray eyes. EVELYN E. KIRSCH 949 N. Washington Street Ev is the jolliest person ever, and her optimism makes her a wel- come friend. She goes into things with an engaging vim and zest. And Ev has her share of good looks too, perhaps this is her re- ward for patiently lending her mir- ror to all of D3 in general. FLORA LORRAINE KLEIN 1201 N. Patterson Park Avenue Flora is the kind of person whom you can tell to do a thing and then dismiss the matter from your mind. She is notably courteous, and a very steady, conscientious student. Page 52 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE ROSE KLIOZE 1726 Eastern Avenue Our advertisement for good care of the teeth. Have you ever no- ticed those beautiful pearls in her mouth? She is the one of the five who does have if. X DOROTHY ROSE KNOEPP 6412 Fair Oaks Avenue After four years at Eastern, Dorothy is resigned to having her name mispronounced. Some girls conscientiously try to pronounce every letter, even the 0 and the e, while others uncompromis- ingly call it Nipp. This Rose, however, by any other name would be as sweet. SYDNEY M. KOEBRICH 3714 Greenmount Avenue Sydney is so quiet you hardly know she's in the room, but when anything is to be done she will- ingly lends a hand. She is good in her studies and, we believe, en- joys them, which is worthy to be remembered. Sydney is not very well known and we can tell you that the rest don't know what they're missing. GLADYS KRACH 6008 Edna Avenue Gladys is a plump, pleasant and dependable person, always keeping one laughing with her jokes. Gladys' highest ambition is to be someone's private secretary. DORIS KRAMER 3108 Chesley Avenue Did you ever see Doris with a late slip? Well, you never will. She's generally putting last-minute touches to English in the morning. But at lunchtime Dot is invar- iably seen with Marge in the gym, dancing, forever dancing. Page 53 RUTH KROLL 631 N. Lakewood Avenue XVouldn't one think Ruth was pert, judging by her cute, upturned nose? But when one really knows her, one's opinion is quickly changed, for she is one of the sweetest girls in our class. ELDA MARGARET KRUGER 5607 Belle Vista Avenue Elda is the quietest member of DM1 and can be found at all times poring over a book. She is an au- thority on keeping notebooks up- to-date, however, and she is a very proficient student-but oh! she just hates to recite! DOROTHY KRUMMEL 129 E. Clement Street Dot is noted for her dry, witty comments on things in gen- eral. She can send her friends into gales of laughter and yet herself seem serious as can be. Perhaps this same quality may lead to suc- cess in a literary way. Who knows? LILLIAN CECILE KRYMSKI X 2867 Lake Avenue HGirls, don't forget your bank moneyfl Thus Krym helps all to save. Some day she's going to be a bank cashier. She certainly knows that a penny saved is a penny earned. BEVERLY NAGLE LAMAR 703 Springfield Avenue Bev was the dignified footman in the Christmas play, but she upset the usual calm of a certain study period by rehearsing her ribald laughter to the great dismay of the council members. Bev is quite fond of 'lBilly Barton, the pet turtle of 312, and has appointed herself chief custodian of his ma- jesty. THE CLASS OF 'FRANCES ANN LANZA 424 E. 22 Street Franny's motto must be Si- lence is golden, for we rarely hear her. However, when she does speak, she is bound to say some- thing worthwhile. LOUISE LAPACEK 455 N. Robinson Street Louise is our most skilled appa- ratus exhibitor. How she can twist her body in and out of the rings is more than we can figure out. Maybe that is the reason for her tiny waist. As a council member she certainly knew how to keep order. ETHEL LAWRENCE l208 E. North Avenue Ethel is given to dashing in at the ninth tor is it the eleventh?D hour, rapidly shedding hairpins and various superfluous articles of clothing as she dashes. But in spite of this slight failing she has an attractive manner, and often wears a certain orchid gown which is guaranteed to make even the most confirmed woman-hater sit up and take notice! EMILY A. LEHECKA 2627 E. Madison Street Emily is the unobtrusive sort, but she's usually on the job,-that is, in waking hours, of course. She's made herself quite prominent this year as an English student. GERTRUDE MARIE LENTZ 1230 E. North Avenue A'Gertie is seldom heard from in class unless she is called on. Out- side the classroom, however, she is not so quiet, and is particularly eloquent when Poly is the sub- ject of her conversation. KATHRYN RAE LEPHARDT 1043 MCDonough Street t'Kats'l in school complains of a very short memory but it was re- ported to headquarters that in a certain play she had one extremely long part and was a veteran Ethel Barrymore. This predicts a high crash into publicity with D3 sitting on the front row and clapping. ROSALIE MARIE LEPHARDT 2539 E. Monument Street Rosalie is one of 'Z9ls artists. She spends most of her spare time in drawing, and has an ever-in- creasing collection of sketches done at odd moments. She also illus- trates her notebooks, which are the pride of her teachers. SOPHIA A. LEUTNER 5207 Midwood Avenue, Govans And now for Sophie, our Pres- ident. VVe feel sure that it's al- most useless to tell you what a competent president she has been. Her ability, her scholarship, her athletic record are well known to all of you. And while we don't want to seem pessimistic, we think that it will be many a long day before Eastern sees another girl as capable. EVA LEVY 1010 Greenmount Avenue In school Ev is a meek and modest little lass. We wonder if she acts that way at home. HELEN RUTH LEVY 1074 Granby Street Helen's motto is Better late than never, and she believes in adhering to it faithfully. At ten after nine Helen strolls in bearing the usual late slip and wearing the usual smile. But Helen was not late in winning our hearts and keeping them. Page 5 4 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE ELIZABETH F. B. LONGLEY 511 E. 42nd Street In spite of the fact that her honey-colored locks of hair per- sist in falling down her back, Eliz- abeth preserves an air of delicious hauteur. Her pale-grey smock is familiar to all of us-more so be- cause it once hung on a rack in one of the halls for a week or so before its owner retrieved it. Eliz- abeth is intelligent and sympathetic -a friend to be coveted. REGINA LOVELESS 4421 Belleview Avenue This paragraph is most reverently inscribed: To the Lady Ursula Bar- rington, to the treasurer of Dl, to the captain of the Senior basket ball team, and to the most pro- ficient speaker of Yil1 knill will I'll miln language that Eastern has ever had the unbounded pleas- ure and misfortune to listen to. DOROTHY M. LUCKEY l 3206 Echodale lAvenue Dots -the always smiling blonde. Dots couldn't be called fa greasy grind, but she certainly is right there when it comes to French. X ELIZABETH LYLES , 631 Gorsuch Avenue Lib is the sandy-haired third part of D1's trio. Her chief com- plaint is centered about grams lost in the rush of getting the table by the counter at Gontrum's. She has a nice smile, and an ambition to be a nurse-a combination that is going to make her life and others happy. EVELYN MAY MAGSAMEN 125 S. Potomac Street Mag is a good winner plus a good loser! No wonder she is known as a first-rate sport. l1Ve wonder how she would look in other than boyish clothes. Page 55 ALICE MALITSOFF 2221 Orleans Street Al has managed to come through without misconduct marks g but how, itls hard to say. She was always irrepressible at basket- ball practice. Can you picture her, sedate and dignified, taking dicta- tion from the bossf' and not in- terrupting? Impossible l JANET MALLEK 2209 Gough Street Janet is just a cunning little feminine morsel, always happy and laughing. She is one of our fa- mous gigglers. VVhenever one sees her, she also sees a vanity case in her Wake. MARY MANIOSKY 2223 Gough Street Mary is the famous portrait painter of DM3. To the girls land, indeed, there are manyl who wish to become as comely as Mary, her advice is to form the habit of washing their faces in milk every 1'I101'111I1g. CORA MARY MARIOTTI 1530 Carwell Street Cora is another of those maidens who has at last overcome the dif- Hculties of growing hair. Congrat- ulations! You will generally find Cora with Kass.'l EMMA M. MARQUETTE 803 Venable Avenue Romeo is a familiar personage at A'Gunny's, and also in the midst of the Four Musketeers. It is she who sings bass in the Sweet Adeline Quartette up in 312, and wades through four bil- lion lines of Vergil translation without the slightest tremor. THE CLASS OF JEAN R. McBR1ARTY 605 E. 38th Street Jeanie claims she is Irishg perhaps that is her excuse for wearing green-she looks nice in it, at any rate. ,lean can't quite de- cide in what fashion she likes her hair best, so she cuts it off at becoming lengths from time to time. ALMIRA MCCAFFREY 1827 Hope Street Alu is the long part of the long and short of it, the short part being Ann. She's planning to be a stenographer, but-well- er-she just hasn't met him yet. GRACE LYDIA MCCARTHY 110 S. Highland Avenue Here is the heart-breaker, the despair and joy of Freshies, S0- phies, etc., etc. Mickey seems always to know the way to en- snare the little ones. But, of course, this isn't all. Meet Mickey and see for yourself. ISOLA MCCUSKER 804 N. Milton Avenue No wonder DM3 was always the first class for 100W Echo sub- scription. Issy', was our Echo sub-treasurer. Could anyone re- fuse such a little thing as a quar- ter to as sweet a girl as Isola? MARGARET M. MCDORMAN 2015 N. Calvert Street Dormy is a small brunette whom everybody likes. In her quiet way, she seems to have a good time wherever she goes, In the class room she is most retiring, but when obliged to stand up she is always ready to come across with the goods. VIRGINIA MCKINNEY 5809 Clear Spring Road Virginia is a go-getterf' She surely goes after D2's class dues-and gets them, too. We be- lieve the girls would begin to in- quire about her health if she for- got the daily plea of Bring your class dues, girls 1 BARBARA MERRIAM 332 Radnor Avenue Barbara comes from West Vir- ginia. She looks more like an in- nocent freshie than anything else -a gay, good-natured little freshie. She seems to have discovered old Ponce's well. CATHERINE MULLER 1 1513 E. 29th Street Cass is a true Camp Fire Girl, and she certainly knows her duties. Whenever Catherine delivers an oral composition, the girls are full of smiles. l I FANNIE L. MONFRIED 1210 E. Fayette Street If you hear someone saying You've got some nervefl you may know it's Fannie. t'Fan is one of the industrious girls of our class. I-Ier industry even extends to talk- mg. VENETTA MOON if 3003 Harview Avenue Venetta's one of those girls priv- ileged to sit on the stage for every assembly-in other words, she can sing! She has also managed to master more rules of the polite art of etiquette than seems humanly possible. However, Venetta is so quiet that she seldom gets a chance for takes itl to display her accom- plishments. t'VVithdrawn. Page 56 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE MARY JANE MOORE 427 North Broadway If there is any girl in '29 who could be called a handicraft ex- pert, it is Mary. Do you know that it is to her we owe a great deal of thanks for our lovely wax flowers at the bazaar? VERA GLADYS MOSER 2401 E. Federal Street Vera's a rather quiet person, and there's something sort of romantic about her besides her poetic ability. Personally, we still have a faint suspicion that she's a stolen gypsy princess or maybe an Arabian dancer in disguise. JEANNETTE MOSSOVITZ 36 N. Montford Avenue Jeannette is the premiere danseuse of Dm2. When you wish to find Jean at lunch time, look for her where there is music. She is also quite proficient in another of the arts, Drawing. BARBARA A. H. MUELLER 2444 E. Preston Street Bobs doesn't know what a good friend she has been to lots of people. She is always willing to help one out and never tantalizes by being pessimistic. Here's hap- piness, Barbara! CATHERINE MILLER 106 S. Patterson Park Avenue Catherine is a clever dependable girl, very fond of debating and ready with plenty of points to help her side win. We can imagine Catherine, a well-known lawyer, defending someone in a sensational case. Page 5 7 CATHERINE SELMA MYERS 906 William Street Here's to Kay,', who has that engaging smile and who is always ready to help anyone who is in trouble. She's very quiet and shy, but she knows her onions', when it comes to work. She's a credit to the class of D7. RUTH MIRIAM MYERS 1641 Chilton Avenue When telli11g of Ruth's work, we hardly know where to begin: Ed- itor-in-chief of the Echo, Secre- tary of the Lanier Clubg not to mention all the things she has done for '29 and the S. P. Q. R. She is an excellent student, too. And anyone who knows her will recommend her as a good friend. ANNA MARGARET NAGLER 604 S. Kenwood Avenue Nags is a quiet bit of sun- shine, who is always there to lend a helping hand. As Exchange Ed- itor of the Echo she has put some- thing really new into this depart- ment, and she has plenty of orig- inal ideas on other subjects too. ELIZABETH NESS 570 W. University Parkway We suggest that with the depart- ure of '29 the north-west corner of the Assembly Hall be hung with black, and a copper tablet be placed on the wall, bearing this inscrip- tion: In memory of one who was wont to pass her lunch period on this spot. RUTH VIDALIA NICHOLS 1913 St. Paul Street One of those girls always ready to help someone in need-that's Rufus, Her dependability and serenity of manner assure her suc- cess in the future. THE' CLASS OF I ALICE M. NICHOLSON 2722 Louise Avenue Al is one of those girls who is quiet and unobtrusive. But we know her to have a lot of that desirable quality known as com- mon sense, and a good sense of hu- mor besides. DOROTHY NUFFER 38 E. Williamson Street Our dear little home room treas- urer. When she comes up to you with a winning smile and says, Girls, have you any class dues, today? -who can refuse her? Open go the purses. And as an elocutionist-well, there is no bet- ter. She was DM3's most popular entertainer. ETHEL VIRGINIA OLIVER 1729 E. 31st Street Ginnie is a kind, thoughtful girl, and a quiet one. Moreover, she's one of the Uforehandedl' kind. Witness how long ahead of time her class dues are paid up. BETSY A. OLSEN 524 S. Lakewood Avenue Betsy is one of our athletic stars, and does she cheer her team? W'ell! You should be in her homeroom the day before the game. One dare not be lax with Betsy near! BESSIE OSEROFF 12 N. Exeter Street Ossie's goal must be the stage, for her imitations of gorillas and apes are perfect. She is really a very talented actress, although most of her talent is still a hidden treas- ure. Page Captain Kidd! yr' MIRIAM OVERBECK 280 N. Exeter Street Mir is like a rainbow, so we never mind the rain when she is near. She can always entrance her friends as she did her audi- ence in the minstrel show. Besides that, she has that mystical power of charming her studies. ROSE PECKER 403 N. Broadway VVhat would Rose do without her Hansy and Dobby, especially in Commercial Law? Worse still, what would the class do without Rose? This sincere, fun-loving girl has won the love and respect of all who know her. GOLDIE B. PELOVITZ 735 Aisquith Street Goggyl' is full of mirth and a frown never is seen on her face. As Goggy'l doesn't know ,the meaning of can't,'l she is everlast- ingly willing to do and help. You're lucky if she is your friend. EVELYN MARIE POTTS 1701 E. 31st Street Evelyn is a studious girl who always knows her lessons. She is an earnest worker, but is also full of fun and quite an entertainer on the nuke. LOIS ELIZABETH POTTS 1720 Chilton Street Lois is a quiet person and does not complain, but as we pass her in the classroom struggling with Ver- gil we invariably think of this lit- tle ditty: Latin is a language- At least, it used to be. First it killed the Romans: Now it's killing me. Page 5 8 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE MILDRED PUSKIN 1412 E. Preston Street VVhen in a few years' time we go to a great recital, we're sure it will be to hear Mildred play. Keep up the good work, Mildred! Needless to say, '29 is proud of you! YETTA RABINOWITZ 823 E. Baltimore Street Eedie has that particular charm of making friends wherever she goes. just now she is con- templating cutting her golden locks. 'We advise her to spare the long tresses. ROSE RENBAUM 1405 Gough Street Rose is extremely witty and al-I ways full of mischiefg a good ath- lete and one of our outstanding ac- tresses. ISABELLE C. REVILLE 2515 Hermosa Avenue Isabelle is a new girl in the class of '29, but even though she has been with us for a short time, she has won our hearts. Izzy is al- ways happy, and that mischievous twinkle in her eyes often makes us wonder just what she is thinking about. MARGARET K. RIDGELY 3906 Chesley Avenue Never in a hurry, never upset, -always giggling-the answer to the puzzle is Kass, The only worry she has is German translation. Be cgnsoledg they say the first two years are the hardest. .Page 59 AGNES M. ROBERTS 1327 N. Caroline Street Hear that giggle? That's Ag- gie. Her sudden bursts of laugh- ter are very volcanic, but harm- less. That girl is a real forward, even if she didn't make the teamg and basket ball practices were surely more lively because of Ag- gie's'l presence. MARGARET L. RODEMEYER 714 E. 36th Street As Vice-Ofhcer of the Council she's a 'Awowf' 'tMarg, by the way, is quite an accomplished ac- tress-she even has an actress' tem- perament. VVe predict a successful future for Margaret. CATHERINE MARY ROHM 806 N. Milton Avenue .Have you ever noticed Cass ' dimples? Sheis shy, but Still water runs deep, you know. ESTHER ROLL 247 S. Broadway 29! - Rah! ! - Yes, youlve guessed it. HES is one of our cheer leaders. And how she can yell! Another favorite call is Girls, don't forget your class dues. She gets them, too. DOROTHY SARAH ROMBACH North Point and Parkwood Roads 'tDoty is a good dancer and al- ways seems to be laughing. She's constantly seen travelling around with the gang and enjoying her- self to the utmost. Unhke most of us, Doty is always in a hurry to leave school. She dons hat and coat with great care-to say noth- ing of the inevitable mirror. THE CLASS OF JEANETTE W. ROOS 1821 N. Milton Avenue Another quiet little girl. It seems as though quiet people achieve ex- cellent resultsg at least, so it is in this case. NELL C. ROSEBERRY 2021 E. Thirty-second Street Nell is the tall, light-haired, dig- nified damsel who is always seen in company with Reds She is an all-around good student, a good dancer and one of our authorities on what the well-dressed girl of to- day wears. ANNA LORRETTA ROSKY 1444 Light Street f'Here comes Roskyl Doesn't she look cute?'l These and like exclamations may be heard throughout Eastern at any time. Well, Rosky, such is the cost of popularity. VV e know you well de- serve it. VERA BRAIDWOOD ROSS 356 Rosebank Avenue. Govans Clap hands, here comes Vera! Whoopee and all the rest! Tilt, Tilt, now isn't that just too bad ? says she. Scotch is George Washington, Lindbergh, and Ben Turpin all in one. We are certain that a more serious person never visited a circus than Vera. Some time ago we heard that she in- tends to build pyramids in her backyard for a career. HANNAH JAY ROTKOWITZ 2019 E. Baltimore Street Hansey, one of '29's blondes, has a quiet charm of her very own. She has been trying so hard to be dignified-as if she could! Smiles and pleasing mannerisms are among Hansey's greatest as- sets. She'll make a good stenog- rapher for somebody. ALMA GERTRUDE ROWLAND 4216 Ridgewood Avenue Gertrude, our Southern Gertrude. As we see her wandering around the hall, gaily wise-cracking among her classmates, cool, self- possessed, it is hard to believe that here is one of Maryland's most ar- dent anti-vivisectionists. Ask D2 English class. MAVIS ROWLINSON 400 S.. Clinton Street Mavis has two outstanding qual- ities-her attractive appearance and her ability to dance. She has one ambition which we are sure will be realized-to be a professional dancer. Good luck to you, Mavis. EDNA VIRGINIA ROYSTON . 3215 Guilford Avenue Our Ginnie V' Talkative, happy, carefree and gay. Never quite ,through with all of those horrid assignmentsg always working in Study. Here's luck to you, Gin- nie! X LILLIAN RUDO 400 E. Chase Street Lillian is very fond of red, so be sure your gifts are of that hue. She is one of those unusual per- sons who would rather be seen than heard. BEATRICE C. RULLMAN 2009 Homewood Avenue Do you remember the handsome young prince in our sophomore play? And you surely remember the attractive voice. How could one forget it? Page 60 NINETEEN TWENTM-NINE g gg ETHEL C. RUPPERT Dorsey Avenue, Essex, Md. Cheery, fun-loving, ready to help-that's Jackie.'1 Hockey star, basket ball star, volley ball star- that's Jackie A true blue friend, and a fine sport is she. Indeed, there's only one Jackie for '29 and for Eastern. ALICE RUSSELL 511 E. 23rd Street Alice is unusually quiet, perhaps because she is one of the few who realizes that Silence is Golden. However, she will make someone an expert stenographer. EDITH SAFRANEK 400 E. North Avenue Some day we shall hear of Edith through the newspapers. Big head- lines will tell of her brilliant per- formances as a pianist. Edith's outstanding characteristic is her sweet manner. THELMA SAPP 1021 N. Iris Avenue Of course everybody knows Sapp, our vice-president, and a mighty good one she is, too! We'd like to know how she ever man- ages to keep always smiling and to be so good natured! How about letting us in on the secret, Sapp ? And Sapp's some athlete, too! You should see her in a basket ball or volley ball game! ADELE CAROLINE SANDER 4011 Parkside Drive Still water runs deep. Adele is a quiet young miss, always minding her own business. She used to be forever seeking help in that nasty old subject, English, but of late things seem to have changed in that quarter. Page 61 EMMA JEAN SANDIDGE 421 E. 22nd Street Weenie is deceiving. The name really belongs to a human step- ladder with a friendly grin. Jean is the bashful type, conscientious and studious, a true friend and a hard worker. We can't imagine Jean ever being angry, for, be- fore she'd start, she'd probably join in with her enemy with her re- nowned I'll say sol, ' ELIZABETH IDA SARO 1707 Hope Street Betty is another girl with ar- tistic aspirations. judging from her work, we should say that she is well started on the road to suc- cess. DOROTHY REED SATISKY 1000 E. Lombard Street It was a red letter day for Hochschi1d's when A'Dobby be- came one of their salesgirls. But as for Spanish,-well, it and Dobby just can't agree. TOBA SATISKY 1000 E. Lombard Street Tob is the last CPD one to leave the class room. Sight trans- lations in Vergil are her hobby. Ask DZ. ANNA VIRGINIA SAUR 1625 Chilton Street Ask the freshman and sophomore who Anne is! And why shou1dn't they sing her praises? She is good- looking, a good student, a good sport, and a good dancer. What more could one ask? THE CLASS OF ANNA C. SAUTER 5510 Edna Avenue Folks, here's a real f'honest-to- goodness, no foolin ' athlete. Ann particularly leans toward bas- ket ball and she cages balls the way the keepers of the zoo cage the animals. Ann's a good enough sport to take a joke when it's on her, and we can safely say that in the Sea of Life Ann will pad-- dle along in the great big waves and laugh as she slides over a Whale! ANNA LOUISE SCHAEFER 6602 Fairdel Avenue Anna is the kind of girl who is a real friend to everyone, She is always ready to lend a helping hand. This energetic student is also a salesgirl of quite some note. DOLORES A. SCHAEFER 1428 Gorsuch Avenue Here's to one of the jolliest girls in '29! She is so rarely angry that we almost believe she can't be. If you don't know Dicky you've missed something. If you make other people as happy as you've made us, Dicky, you will have done a lot in this world. ELSIE SCHAEFER 6223 Everall Avenue This young miss hardly says a word in class and then gets up and saves her side in a debate! just imagine the halls of Eastern if everyone were like Elsie! We think the faculty would have to buy ear phones instead of ear muffs. That's all right! Els is an illustration of the gold in silence. ANN SCHAUBODE 1721 Bank Street Quiet, unassuming Ann, studious, but not too much so, ready for pleasure when it comes, with a smile and personality pleasing to everyone. ANNA SCHAPIRO 36 N. Luzerne Avenue Anna is the most dignified, polite, and quiet girl we know. They say that Still waters run deep. VVe wonder if Anna is not hiding some- thing from us. l CATHERINE C. SCHEIDEGGER 1120 N. Gay Street If you want to attract and hold friends, ask Cas how to do itg she knows. Cas also knows the meaning of Class Spirit and consequently is a great credit to 29 1. . MARGARET E. SCHIERER 5320 Anglewood Avenue Margaret is a girl who knows how to get what she wants. We wonder if she ever gets angryg we've never seen anyone so calm and good-natured. And was there ever,a homeroom president more efficient than Margaret? ANNA M. SCHONE 1442 E. Monument Street Schoniel' is the masculine half of the mutual friendship between her and Mil We never see her without her better half. Schonie is a hockey enthusiast. IRMA SCHWARTZ 719 E. 23rd Street Irmie is another of our select group of conversationalists. Not all l29's talkers, however, are gifted with soft wavy red hair. Page 62 g NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE WINIFRED KENDALL SEAL 3418 University Place Poor Winnie! 'Tis said that she visited a beauty-parlor to have her hair thinned, and the hair- dresser not only thinned it, but cut off a great deal in the bargain. Now VVinnie can't do a thing with it! VVe hear that she was exceedingly angry about this, but while we are willing to admit that she might have been mildly indig- nant, we can't imagine VVinnie really angry. ELIZABETH B. SEWARD 1311 E. North Avenue Elizabeth comes from Virginia, but you don't have to know her very long to discover that. Her accent is the envy of all of us. And they say that her quiet, de- pendable person has become quite indispensable to the Student Coun- cil LUCILLE A. SEYMOUR 1514 Ellamont Street Happy-go-lucky, carefree Luc-,H serious sometimes, grumpy never. She is rarely on time, Cmake your dates with Lue for half an hour aheadl but, she generally manages to get to school in time for 'Aopen- ing exercises. REBECCA SHACK 5012 Denmore Avenue Hehee, hehee, up and down the scale. Yes, that's Becky stroll- ing through the halls. Her imper- sonation of the hyena is remark- able, and we all realize that some- day these hehees will become fa- mous in the dramatic world. LOUISE B. SHATTUCK NVQ E. Mount Vernon Place Louise is famous for her devo- tion to cheese-crackers, for her in- decipherable handwriting, and for her ability to ask questions, but her greatest claim to fame is her beautiful auburn hair-the envy of half the girls of '29. Page 6 3 ANNA SHOCKET 21 N. Patterson Park Avenue Anna is talkative but she says worthwhile things. She is an am- bitious student who does all her work neatly and well. f'Ann'y surely can master Fourth-year Bookkeep- ing. ALICE LOUISE SHUGARS 2005 Homewood Avenue Alice is one of those rare and envied girls who can actually do Trig. VVe firmly believe that she will some day be famous as the discoverer of the square root of -1, or some other value un- known in mathematics. LEONA GERTRUDE SICKEL 1930 W. North Avenue A tall fair damsel is f'Ell, who revels in Nash cars and the en- chanting study of Chemistry. She is to be found haunting the neigh- borhood of Room 100 inthe vicin- ity of a certain athletic fair one. Though rather shy, Leona is jolly company, and a chum to be de- pended on. MARY SHERWOOD SILVER 5912 Brackenridge Avenue Mary always carries a comb with her, and is everlastingly comb- ing her burnished locks, trying to put them up into a knot. Mary is letting her hair grow. Suffer, maiden, suffer. Despite this dif- ficulty, Mary is a capable secre- tary, and '29 fully appreciates her. DOROTHY V. SIMPSON 2513 Robb Street VVhat a line that girl has! Meet me at 3:00. I'll try to be there by 3:30, anyway. Crushes, notes, flowers, a continual proces- sion,-what will they do when she's gone? THE CLASS OF MARY JANE SIMPSON 1221 N. Luzerne Avenue Mary jane is one-half of the Company of Simpson St Weiner. She is the silent part- ner. May your Firm prosper, u-Ianebn DOROTHY M, SINCLAIR 202 Homewood Terrace Here is one of these easy son- neteers that the Spectator writes about. Dorothy seems to dash off her excellent sonnets in scarcely any time. She is characterized also by a sense of humor, a hesitant laugh and speech Cexcept when she argues against vivisectionj and a fondness for candy. ENA GAMBRILL SINCLAIR 202 Homewood Terrace Ena has a most promising voice. She has participated in all activ- ities of the Glee Club and it is evident that a successful career awaits her. We would like to ask her, when the Metropolitan Opera Company requests that she sign on the dotted line, will she please sing in a language her old school friends will understand? E. MILDRED SKIRVEN 621 McKewin Avenue Another of our artists, a future Rembrandt in disguise. And does she love late slips? .Seems to, any- way. Never hurried or distressed -you should have a long life ahead of you, l'Mil. ELIZABETH SMALL 6508 Armstrong Avenue A roll of drawing paper under her arm, hair rumpled, eyes wild- is she dangerous? No, it's Eliza- beth, our chief artist, trying to round up her art staff and check up Echo material. And does she work hard herself? Well, just ask anybody in D6, including the teacher, who is frequently heard urging her to go on home. ADA MAY SMITH 4000 White Avenue Ada has been council member ever since she entered Eastern. Show us a more reliable girl. There are many things that have been more successful because of the helping hand lent by this ca- pable Worker. HELEN RIDGELEY SMITH 1118 Forrest Street Helen is an accomplished dancer, as may be seen by a trip to the gym at any lunch period. She has a serious bent, too-toward Eng- lish. Look up her record as repre- sentative for the Book Store of our Bazaar! MARTHA LUCENIA SMITH 704 E. 41st Street Need we introduce Lucy, who for so long has skillfully headed our celebrated Council? VVe be- lieve not. Lucenia is a good speaker, seemingly devoid of any stage fright. She is a top-notch pupil in all her studies, and in addition is a good friend to every- o11e. Although possessed of an impressive dignity upon occasions, she can also assume a very mis- chievous air under favorable con- ditions. LORELL SMITHER 161 1 Jackson Street Rell is a good sport, and good- natured to the nth degree. But, then, she needs to be-for various reasons. We wonder why it is that Rell is so anxious to visit 103 at 2:30?? Again, I say, we wonder? ? ? GENEVIEVE D. SOKOLOWSKA 1743 E. Lombard Street 'lSocky is the little optimist of D7. Our haven in time of trouble, she always has time to listen to our woes. Her ambition?-to be a Spanish teacher like Miss H-. Page 64 NINETEEN TWENTT-NINEi g DOROTHY SPARKLIN 2206 St. George's Avenue Some day you will see this at- tractive lass teaching high school girls music-and won't they be lucky pupils? 'lDottie is also an ideal council member, besides a good classmate. Hasn't she an adorable dimple? MOLLIE SPEERT 101 Albermarle Street Matzyl' is the impulsive girl of the class who speaks first and then thinks. She always has a broad smile and a cheery hello'l for ev- eryone. LILLIAN E. SPRINGMAN 1623 N. Port Street Lillian doesn't say much, but when she does speak, she knows what she is talking about. By the way, you here have the pleasure of gazing upon a maiden who was never unprepared in Virgil class. ESTELLE C. STALLINGS 3032 Dillon Street Ted has pipe-dreams about some day playing the pipe-organ wonderfully well. But for all that, shels not temperamental. She made the hockey team, loves basket ball and other sports. As for marks, an 'AEN is commonplace to her. She's versatile, that girl! EVELYN M. STANGE 1755 Darley Avenue Take a good look at this young lady, so that you will be able to recognize her in future years, when her picture will appear in the pa- pers with this caption above it- Famous Hollywood Star Now Has Eyes Insured For S10,000. If you have never seen Evie's eyes, you have missed a rare treat! Page 6 5 DELMA IRENE STEELE 2014 Linden Avenue Del is the type that gentlemen prefer, and an absolutely feminine blonde at that! She is very co- operative 5 in fact, she has never been known to refuse to help- whether in dramatics, or in plan- ning a party. MARTHA STEFANSKA 2400 E. Baltimore Street She's proved her worth by being a real, law-enforcing council mem- ber. She's also an A-No. 1 scholar, her specialty being German verbs. Everybody loves Motts. LILLIAN STEINBERG 1518 N. Pulaski Street Lil is the other halt of the partnership, Walsky and Stein- berg. Lil is very quiet and unassuming, but she is an earnest student and we are sure she will come out on top in anything she undertakes. RUTH STEVENS 3 N. Potomac Street Miss Stevens-the worthy Pres- ident, pardon us, CONSUL of the S. P. 'Q. R. Ruth is one of our best students, and one thinks she's sort of quiet and dignihed until one knows her. Then one discovers that she's lots of fun, and a fine girl in the bargain. PAULINE V. STOCKHAUSEN 519 Rose Hill Terrace The middle step of DM1's Stairsteps Sextettef' There are always girls, not on committees, who, unknown to others, do lots of work. VVe have to thank Pauline for the decorations of our first Prom and for many of the ar- rangements of the Senior Prom. THE CLASS OF DOROTHY MAY STROEBEL RUTH VIRGINIA STROEBEL 3116 Cliftmont Avenue Hey, Stroebels 1 that is the safest way to call one of these twins of Dml. They both imme- diately turn, and then you can tell which it is you want. They are never absent, never late, never apart, and never noisy . HELEN STUDZ 116 S. Patterson Park Avenue Who was she? Yes, m' lordgn No, m' lord gi' t'Is there anything else m' lord ? -You've guessed it, Mills! the red-headed butler of Sir George Sylvester. Do you remem- ber the laughs she afforded? MARGARET ANN SULLIVAN 1536 N. Caroline Street Margaret doesn't say much ex- cept when with her Ucrowdf' but then she says a-plenty, judging from the laughs around her. DORTHY ROBINSON SUTTON 6109 Fair Oaks Avenue Sutton is oh! so very stu- dious! In her own circle of friends she seems to enjoy herself im- mensely, and for everyone she has a cheery smile and a Hey there. Sutton is just the kind of person you can rely on to do something and do it well. Hence we think she would be an excellent one to try to convince teachers that ex- aminations should be absolutely ta- boo! l F. LEOBA JOSEPHINE SVEHLA 601 N. Glover Street Leoba is very, very petite and has a wee small voice. She is al- ways prepared in every subject, and makes us believe more than ever that big things come in little pack- ages. AMELIA MARGARET TACKA 228 S. Ann Street Amelia has a certain tendency in her make-up that we cannot un- derstand. Believe it or not, she regularly spills concentrated sul- uric acid all over her. Amelia's 1: ry smile, though, isn't affected eve these calamities. K , ' JSADIE TAETLE --j A 642 Roland Avenue Sadie is the girl we all depend n. It can truthfully be said of Sadie that she is an earnest, con- scientious worker, a good scholar and a true and loyal friend. N LORRAINE TALUCCI X . . 2 90 8 Philadelphia Avenue Footloose has a rare and spicy humor of her own, and exhibits an entertaining habit of cutting up in dull periods. She has black eyes, and hair like the proverbial raven's wing. Can't you imagine her in a black satin gown with a high Spanish comb in her hair, a lace mantilla, and a red, red rose in her white teeth? BERNARDINE L. TARBOX 231 Key Highway Bee has the kind of eyes ev- erybody wants and not many have. She has such a tiny voice you can hardly hear her, but when you do you hear something worth yvhileg especially where algebra is con- cerned, She is an efficient worker and a willing one. Page 6 6 NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE' CLARA EDITH TARSES 1226 N. Bradford Street Tarse is always in a flurry, al- ways arriving late and excited. She is a regular whirlwind,-but can she sew? You should see some of the cute things she makes. PHILOMENA MARIE TAX 630 E. 31st Street VVho is that tall light-haired girl who is so busy talking over 'affairs of state' with Miss Trav- ers? VVhy, she is the president of D7, and is highly esteemed by her fellow classmates. Her future? VVell, we are not sure, but we think she has not met him yet. MABEL C. TAYLOR 4003 Northern Parkway, Overlea The famous news reporter, hail ye, hail ye! But then Mabs is good in anything she attempts. Mabs would move the earth it- self to do you a favor, and as for being cheerful and optimistic she certainly wins the prize. She's just the best classmate, ever, firmly be- lieving in cooperation and always there to prove it. GRACE LEE TERRY 1739 E. Oliver Street Grace is that little redhead who, if she stands on tiptoe, just about reaches your shoulder fif you're moderately tallj. Grace has not overcome the habit of having violent crushes-a habit formed in her Freshie year, we suppose. At present the adored one is-but we'd better not divulge this sacred se- cret! VIOLA BLAIR THOMPSON 5209 Catalpha Road f'Vi', is a thoroughbred student who believes there's nothing like a good education. We believe she'd walk a mile for one too. She has a lively sense of humor, be- lieves in promoting a good time, and enjoying one. This sounds like a good teacher in the making- the School Board should be no- tihed at once. Page 67 CAMILLE C. TRAVINSKI 241 S. Bond Street Camille is a little girl, with wavy black hair. She is of a cheerful disposition and is a good pal. Mathematics is one of her favorite subjects, but she is a good, all- around scholar. CLARA TROMPETER 1444 Hull Street Where yo' all goin'? The Southern drawl belongs to a di- minutive girl whom her classmates call The Honorable Trump. She is a faithful friend and the life of any party. CAMILLA TROVATO 245 East Street Camilla seems to be a very quiet little maiden, but we know from experience that once she gets started she can talk a blue streakf' Camilla is a good friend to everybody. JEAN TUCKER 2703 Hilldale Avenue Teeney Gene is small but good things come in small pack- ages, n'est-ce pas? And how Teeney Gene can read shorthand! DOROTHY LOUISE VOGEL 3006 Guilford Avenue Speaking of opera singers, Dot will come out in the lead, we know. Even now when she fills old East- ern's assembly hall with song we think of the tickets We'll some day have to buy to hear, perhaps, that same little tune. She's good in studies too, so perhaps if opera singing doesnlt sufficiently appeal to her, Dot will be a Ph. D. TAAVE CLASS OF ANNA WAHMAN 1619 W. Smallwood Street Some think the world was made for love and laughter, -and so does she. Shrimpie certainly does have the gift of gab and uses her gift freely. If worry causes gray hair, we don't imagine Shrimpie will ever have it. HELEN JANE WALLACE 532 Radnor Avenue 'fWally is about the friendliest person you ever met and has just such a way about her that, we be- lieve, if she wanted to go South, the battleship Maryland would be at her disposal. ELSIE WALSKY 824 N. Broadway Els, the senior-no, we should say, the larger-member of the firm Steinberg and Walskyf' Where is the person who has ever seen Els without Lil ? Els!' has many fine characteristics, chief of which are her helpfulness and cheerfulness. THYRA C. WALTHAM 621 N. Washington Street Thyra has never been known to hurry-not even at the end of the fourth period! She is noted for her calm disposition. We believe that if the school were burning, Thyra would leisurely gather up her books and calmly stroll out of the building! MURIEL IRENE WARREN 3020 Northern Parkway Mimi is a very quiet, shy little miss during school hours, but af- terwards-oh!! Mimi is an- other of those responsible mortals who have had to broadcast all year, Only twenty-five cents! Come on, girls, we need 100W sub- scription to the Ech0!. ' MARGARET V. WARREN 804 Cator Avenue Ginny!' is a tiny person but as active as the rest. Shels chock full o' fun and pep. Somehow Ginny reminds one of a mannequin and perhaps some day when we all go to Paris, we'll see Ginny in an exclusive shop in an exclusive gown saying Thees one, mad'moiselle? And if it isn't too exclusive we'll say, Oni, Ginny, for the good old times at Eastern. MILDRED WATERS 35 S. Ellwood Avenue Mil is the feminine half of the team. Why does Mil wear lavender so often? Probably be- cause it becomes her delicate blond- ness Cahemj, and because Scho- nie liks it. DOROTHY ALICE WEAVER 338 Rosebank Avenue Dot has a rather low, musical voice, and a pair of come hitherl' eyes. She is rather quiet at most times, and does not waste time in being unduly loquacious. We sus- pect, however, that when she's with her own special crowd she pleads guilty to the proverbial trait of womankind, and holds her own against all their busy tongues! LAVINIA WEAVER 1802 N. Washington Street Lavinia, who, according to the Vergil class, is destined to be the wife of Aeneas, is, in our opinion, not exactly suitable for the pious one. Lavinia is a bit too full of fun for Aeneas even though she is rather what one calls the sweet type. MARY C. WEBER 1312 Aisquith Street VVe suspect that Mary's am- bitions will lead her into the field of Chemistry. At any rate her fondness for performing experi- ments Cami in Newellj is great enough to justify the belief. Mary fears absolutely nothing except be- ing called on in Latin period. Page 68 g NINETEENTWENTY-NINE' ' MILLICENT S. WEINBERG 3023 Wolcott Avenue Milly is the only one we have in the homeroom to keep us posted on the various frat dances-and how could we ever remember the different designs and seals of the rings and pins if Mil1y did not obligingly wear a few every day? CHARLOTTE T. WEINER 1808 N. Wolfe Street Who's the girl wearing the striped sweater? Why, that's Charl. She is the other partner in the firm of Simpson 81 Wleiner. NETTYE WEINSTEIN 1025 West 36th Street Ned -well, Ned is just Ned. No one ever saw her blue -no one ever expects to. She's so cheerful and so optimistic that it's contagious. We investi- gated and found that her diet con- sists of four grins. six glasses of smiles, and a laugh before school each morning! ROSE WEISMAN 1713 E. Baltimore Street Weisy is a sedate person who takes her time about everything, and is sometimes late. She's just the type that is slow but sure. IDA S. WELLS 302 E. 26th Street Ida always arrives at school sev- eral hours before anyone else does. We have set our alarm clock early more than once to see if we could beat her here, but without suc- cess. Ide', has a certain precise little smile that she bestows impar- tially upon everyone. She also pos- sesses an enviable disposition. Page 69 HELEN DOROTHY WERNER 2103 N. Charles Street VVho doesn't recognize the smil- ing face of our young blonde? DOW is popular, but we fear for her popularity since the recent ad- vent of 4'Johnny, the youngest member of the VVerner family. EDITH MILDRED WHITTLE 610 N. Bouldin Street WVe have heard this young miss is quite an actress-but she doesn't need to act to make you laugh. Mil- dred is always full of fun. With her intelligence and happy dispo- sition t'Mil is bound to make good. F IRENE WICKMAN Monument and 7th Streets Everyone at Eastern has at some time yelled, Guard her, Wickie! -and she has! This is the basket ball star, but Wickie plays the game in hockey and volley ball too. She doesn't say very much but, as in athletics, she does a lot. EVELYN K. WIELAND 5409 York Road Evelyn has black hair and a pair of intriguing dark eyes. She is fond of modern languages and is taking French for a pastime, be- sides studying German and other subjects. MARY VIRGINIA WILEY 709 Hollen Road. Govans Eastern's song-bird, and an all- round good sport as well. VVe'll not soon forget her as one of our Bobbies,l' or her stellar perform- ance in class-meetings. We hope that some day, when famous, she'll remember us. THE CLASS OF MILDRED RUTH WILSON 3123 Harview Avenue Milly, we feel sure, will be Secretary of the Treasury some day as a reward for her patience in collecting dues. She is good in all of her studies and is very ener- getic. This sounds too good to be true, now doesn't it? But when you know her, you'll know that she is all this and a little bit more! BEATRICE T. WITTEKINDT 1830 N. Bond Stret Bee has fun anywhere and at any time, and is generally liked. She is quite literary, too, and holds a place on the Echo staff. Perhaps she'll be editor of College Humor, where she can continue laughing and still 'Adip her pen into the ink. If so, we'll ask her not to joke at us ! MARY FRANCES WOLFF 2601 Latona Avenue Boots is an ideal chum. She likes to talk, she likes to laugh, and she likes a good time. She is another orator in the making! But this isn't all. Boots has a flock of friends, and we can safely say that when the day comes that she puts Daniel Webster in a cor- ner, they'll all be there to hear her ! SOPHIE ESTELLE WOLLACH 2120 E. Baltimore Street Sophie is quiet and industrious, one of those people who think more than they talk. Sheis a real friend, too, sympathetic and help- ful. REBECCA WOLMAN 1722 E. Baltimore Street PipsyU is a shining example of industriousncss and neatness. VVe wish we knew how to keep our desks and books as clean as she does. DORA YANIGER ll2 E. Baltimore Street One really can't say enough about Dora, a council member through all her years at Eastern. The or- der she obtained in the classroom was due to her charming person- ality and to the respect and love that all the girls had for her.

Three years ago, when most of us entered East- ern, we had nothing very clearly in mind as to what this particular lap of our school career might mean to us. That was a story still to be told. But now three years have passed and the story has been told. We are three years wiserl' than we were when we came-or perhaps we should say three years richer, for the worthwhile ex- periences of these years do not all strictly come under the head of a gain in wisdom. However, all of us know that our primary reason for at- tending school is to acquire knowledge, and there is no doubt that every Senior feels sure that in some measure she has attained her purpose. Nine different courses ffive academic and four com- mercialj were offered to us to satisfy our varied desires, and some '29 girls pursued each of these. As time goes on, we shall, no doubt, forget many of the minute details that we have learned: what a B. T. U. is, what Fe4fFefCNjG13 stands for, on what day George III of England was born, but many of the fundamental facts we shanit forgetg and the benefit welve derived in a general way from our school training will always be an important influence in our lives. Nor has our work been our only influence, nor by far the most important, for our teachers have played a vital part in shaping our school career. We'll not forget either fat least for some time-if at allj the quarts of midnight oil we spent on de- bates Cthose plagued debateslj on tests fwould they never end?j on oral reports fconfusion reignslj. But we've lived through all the trials and tribulations of high school work, however dark our prophecies to the contrary. And on this work, in addition to the values already mentioned, we can base higher learning and other worthwhile projects. We are three years wiseru than when we came. But our days at Eastern have not been all work. That would never have done!! They've been well balanced with good times. Of course all of us are a little different and have sought dif- ferent kinds of pastimes. Some of us have found our pleasure in dramatics, some in music, some in clubs, some in athletics, some in class activities, some in Echo workg but in any event, we've all been provided-provided with pleasures and also friendships gained through these associations. These friendships are joys to us now and will be in the future. We are, indeed, three years richer' than when we came. But now our years at Eastern are over and with them our school work and fun. Now it's time to say Farewell.', For you who have the privilege of attending Eastern for another year or more, we hope that your High School Days will mean as much to you in profit and pleasure as ours have meant to us. And now, school- mates, farewell! The President of the Class of 1929. QA!! La! 'GMES' Page 73 3 , , S . ll 1 .X I 3 I ji I. If ,Q I U ff X 'Y 6 : n ffl x' 2 2 1 Q 1 fig? Q X E QD so . .

The class was so very large at first that it was a rather difficult prob- lem to find a teacher who was willing to assume such a big responsibility. Various members of the faculty C Miss Mullikin, Miss M. Stephenson, Miss Grotej assisted with our business and social ar- tivities. With these kind friends to guide us and with Mildred Pines as our President, Kathryn Schuler, Vice-president, Lois Taylor, Secretary, and Doris List, Treasurer, we were bound to at least start out on our voyage well. Our first landing place was Carlin's, where we entertained the Seniors at a skating party. They said they enjoyed it-we know we did! There was, of course, a class-meeting each month for the two-fold purpose of business and pleasure. Then along in the Spring we had our Class Day, with the play Three Pills in a Bottle presented at assembly. The cast included Doris Deppenbrock, Anna Benner, Caroline Zweyer, Eleanor Denmead, Virginia McAllister, Doris List, Ethel Maskell, Irene Linz. That afternoon the Sophie-Junior basketball game took place to decide school championship. It was the end of an otherwise perfect day when '29 captured the title. Soon it was time for us to bid farewell to Sophie days and become full-fledged juniors. Miss Mullikin consented to be our honorary member. The officers for this year were Helen Le Brun, President, Genevieve Carvel, Vice-pres- ident, Martha Harrison, Secretary, and Doris List, Treasurer. CoLoRs-Red and White The first event of importance was the benefit, Mrs, Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, at the Au- ditorium, when Sl87.69 was added towards our now growing scholarship fund. On March lst the junior Prom was held, and you can just ask any junior about that if you want to hear of a great', time. April 19 was a gala day at Eastern-'3O's Class Day. A play by Booth Tarkington, The Trysting Placef' was the main feature at the assembly. The members of the cast were Anna Granofsky, Grace Searls, Evelyn Williams, Ruth Michael, Charlotte Smith, Ellen Alpigini and Ethel Chelf. The acting in the play was fine, and that, added to the fact that the play was decidedly modern, caused the girls to enjoy the entertainment greatly. This, however, did not quite end the Class Day, for that night Eastern's halls were once again filled. The class play and also The Man in the Bowler Hat,', by A. A. Milne, were presented to the public. The second play had previously been given at a class-meeting by members of Cl, under Miss Hoskins' coaching, and had proved to be a delightful play well presented. During the intermission and before fthe performance, members of 1930, the Glee Club, and the orches- tra entertained under the leadership of Miss Arm- strong. The junior-Senior boat ride to Fairview on june 7th, the last big event of the year, will, we know, be one of those red-letter affairs forever to be remembered. With some heaviness of heart as well as with eager expectation we watch the days so swiftly going by and realize that before long we shall become the Uleadersu in H. S. We hope to be worthy successors of ,292 , ...w.:l1fl2..,,. Effwlf ff W Miz: ' ii Page 81 Class of 193 it Morro: 'fAge Quad Agisu Last year there was no history for the Class of 1931 in the Echo beyond a brief paragraph stating that it had 176 members and green and white for its colors, that it had no officers as yet, and that so far the members of 1931 have been engaged in no special activities, but, judging from the class spirit they showed at the Freshman- Sophomore game it will not be long before they will become prominent participants in all the ac- tivities of Eastern. Now the story is differentg the prophecy of last year is being fulfilled. It should first be mentioned that since the ad- ditions to the class this year the total enrollment has expanded to 806. On january 15, 1929, the class held its first meeting. At this meeting the following class officers were installed: President .....e,,, - .i.....,.... MARY MACLEOD Vice-President ....e,.,.,.. WINNIE CoLL1Ns Secretary i.........e....e,eee Esrrnziz BURGDORF Treasmfer e,.,....,..,....e . r.e....r,., ELINOR Rosa On February 27, another class meeting was held. Class pins and mottoes were discussed, and it was decided to have two committees to take charge of these. After the business meeting Miss Zouck, our vice-principal, spoke on ideals, and suggested that we think of the ideals which E-A-S-T-F.-R-N could represent. An enjoyable entertainment was furnished by B5, assisted by girls from other classes. On March 19-at last !-came the Freshman- Sophomore game! The gym was gaily decorated with the green and white of the Sophies and the blue and white of the Freshies. Cheers, loud and long, rent the air. Then followed victory for the Sophies andtdefeat for the Freshies. CoLoRs: Green and White A third class meeting was held on March 27. Miss Zouckfs suggestion was put in charge of a committee. B2, with the help of girls from other classes, entertained, and a very good entertain- ment it was. The Sophomore-Senior game was played on April 9, and the Seniors continued to roll up the scoref' though the Sophies made a brave ef- fort to stop them. April 12 was the day for the memorable dance at Carlin's. With alluring music and the dances with that favorite crush, who could fail to enjoy herself ? The April class meeting was held on Wednes- day the 24th. Jean jordan, chairman of the com- mittee to carry out Miss Zouck's suggestion, gave her report, and it was announced amidst great rejoicing that the pins were on their Way. An announcement was made about try-outs for the play, The Romancersu by Rostand, which ,31 is going to present. After several other items of business, B1 pre- sented the play, Captain joe, which was a very clever basketball story. In it, difficulties for the heroine, Captain jo Qotherwise known as Dorothy Haydenj, were brought about by a clep- tomaniac, but cleared up for a time by a Fresh- man crushee and later by confession of the clepto. During an intermission Adele Bauer, accompanied by Marie Bauer, sang Marie and At Dawningf' Another gay time was enjoyed on May 3, when Sophies and Seniors took in the fun at Carlin's Fun House. Now, who will not agree that the Class of '31 has been up and doing? x xlf X liwgif f Class of 11932. Morro: QNot yet selectedj As the Freshmen have not yet been organized, there are scarcely any actual events to report about them. The main exception, the Freshie-Sophie basketball game is mentioned elsewhere. There are 214 members, including both B and Bm COLORS! Blue and W'hite classes. We have all been through this stage of being temporary nonentities, but cheer up, Freshies, we know that it won't be long before '32 takes its place alongside the rest of us.

To the Echo staff, at least, it is quite an event. For some time now the girls have been working on this Anni- versary number, trying to make it the very best Echo yet. It is quite natural that, though of course we are deeply indebted to preceding Echoes, we should want to surpass each one of them in the Anniversary issue, just as a little child feels a strange urge to act quite definitely older when his birthday comes. And then, too, as this anniversary comes along, it brings up thoughts of earlier days, of the time when the first Echo was being made, for instance. Let us print here a letter which the Editor of the Echo received some time ago: November 27, 1928 Dear Editor of the Eastern Echof' I've been reading the November issue of the Echo. It has been eight years since I graduated from Eastern- 1920. But how those wonderful days come back when I read the magazine! My mind went back to the time when the very first issue of the Echo was being con- templated. Such a time! How we struggled to write articles and stories and poems for the magazine! How we searched our brains for a suitable name for the school book! And finally it was all decided. And then the eager anticipation of the first issue! Studies were sadly neglected, I'm afraid, those days. And then we had it! Everyone in Eastern was thrilled, I'm sure, when she held in her hands the first copy of the Eastern Echo. And now you are working on the Anniversary num- ber. May you get as much pleasure from it as we at Eastern ten years ago received from the first issue. Wishing you all the success possible, I am, Sincerely yours, RUTH DELL CClass of 19205 The same spirit is reflected in the first editorial of the Echo-June, 1919. It is worth the while of every Easternite to read that editorial if she !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!,!!,L ' s s an ii urs I il!! ill ll , lil.lllllllll 1 IEW EEE '!'i has not already done so. The editor says that the desire for a school magazine has existed a long time, and that it has been gradually growing, especially in the past few years, but that the war prevented for a time the carrying out of this long-cherished desiref, And now the time has come. Surely, she says, since Eastern has a rep- utation for succeeding in whatever she under- takes, she will not fail in this, her magazine. This is something that the girls can point to with pride and say, It is ours, it is a product of our la- borsf, She goes on to list the purposes of the Echo :- flj to discover and encourage hitherto latent talent Q23 to foster and uphold school spirit f3j to connect the various classes by a bond of common interest f4j to inform the outside world of what the school is doing f5j to serve as a connecting link between the Alumnae and Alma Mater And, says this first editor, 'fMay this Eastern Echo long continue to sound forth its message to the student body, the Alumnae, the outside world, and may it ever prove an inspiring voice, truly worthy of the institution which sends it forthf' VV e think that is a good message to leave with the whole school in this Anniversary number. XVe do indeed hope that the Echo will Hprove an inspiring voice, truly worthy of the institution which sends it forthf' and that it will long con- tinue to sound forth its message -in other words, Many happy returns of the day. MARY CANN '29. Page 84 THE EASTERN ECHO Messages from Former Editors Dear Editor- It hardly seems possible that this is the tenth anniversary number of the Echo! It can't be five years since I mounted the stage during assem- bly and completely forgot my carefully prepared plea for contributions and subscriptions for the Echo! But, in spite of my somewhat rusty math, and all wishes to the contrary, it has been live years, five years and more, since my last frantic search for the ever-disappearing key to the Echo box, or an afternoon devoted by the staff to pasting up the dummy, When our 1924 staff triumphantly produced its final number, there was a hazy idea in the minds of the senior members, at least, that the end was at hand, that the Echo would willingly take leave of Eastern with the departing class. However, contrary to our unexpressed expecta- tions, the Echo stayed without protest, and in the intervening years has grown and developed to an extent that warms the heart of an Hold grad with pride and satisfaction. And now arrives-its tenth anniversary! As for the message you asked for, all I can say is that my wish for every Echo to come is that it may have the same expert advice and guid- ance that the 1924 Echo had from the faculty, and that every editor and contributor may have a store, equal to mine, of happy memories associated with the Echo. Congratulations, and best wishes for the tenth anniversary of the Echo! ETHEL I-IAYNES '24. 4: 4: an 4: an 4: It seems fitting to begin by saying that my memories of the Echo are the pleasantest of my high school days, and that my work on the staff formed for me such a deep and lasting attach- ment for the work of editing and publishing that I am still connected with it, in the humble capacity of proof reader. The sincerity of this attachment may be measured by the fact that it has not been lessened by more than two years of making daily marks in blue pencil on the margins of galley proofs, page proofs, and press proofs. Although I have not kept in close touch with the Echo, I have heard enough news of it from time to time to know that you who are carrying it on are to be congratulated on a fine magazine which is growing finer year by year. Page 85 I hope that you of the present staff are enjoy- ing the Echo work as much as we of '25 did, and that if any of you are ever asked to write such a letter as this, you will be as glad as I am to greet the dear old magazine and its sup- porters once more. Good luck and God bless you. 1 ELIZABETH CORNELIUS '25. :sf an 4: x It 4: When I look back over my high school life, the most brilliant spot I see in it is that period of time when I was editor of the Echo, I did not then fully appreciate that task as I do now, since I have been out in the world a couple of years. I know that sounds rather dramatic, but seriously it is so. All I thought about then were the trou- has, I am surej an in on time, stirring bles fand troubles she still editor had getting material up interest in the school to write, rushing down to the printer three times a week and practically getting down on one's knees begging him to have the edition a week earlier, sitting for hours and counting words, words, words, spending more hours pasting up the dummy fnot a member of the staff J, and finally worrying over how many copies are being sold, and wondering whether the girls will like this much-talked-of edition. Troubles indeed! But in the end the work is well worth the trouble, and the benefits one re- ceives are compensation enough. Being on the staff means cooperation, and co- operation is one of the most important things in the world, in my opinion. It means a working together, and one who learns how to work with others has learned one of the fundamentals of life. Executive ability is also gained in being an editor of a magazine. One must go ahead and do things at just the right moment, know how to keep one's materials in hand, and collect one's forces to accomplish work at a moment's notice. For ten years now the Echo has steadily grown. Each year new progress is made, and I sincerely hope that it will continue to be such a well-finished magazine as the last edition was. To the forth- coming editors of the Echo I give my best wishes, with the sincere hope that they may uphold the ideals with which the first editors of the Echo started and have so successfully continued. CLARA MCMAHON '27. THE EASTERN ECHO Ten years old! What a fine magazine the Echo 'has grown to be! I am sure that not many ten- year-olds show such precocity and versatility as our Eastern Echo. Look at the business ability the ads show, the artistic talent the drawings re- veal, the ingenuity the various clever departments give proof of, not to mention the splendid lit- erary work that is crammed in from cover to cover. Truly, quite a bit for a mere ten-year- old to accomplish! But thatis the Echo all over 3 it will keep on accomplishing and growing better each year to bring new laurels unto Eastern, honor to the Green and Gold.' Honestly, it gives me the greatest amount of pleasure that I too can have my name among those listed as editor- in-chief of such a splendid little magazine! A better wish for the future than that the Echo maintain its present high degree of success I could not give, for, if it continues doing that, the Echo's place among up and coming magazines is assured! EVELYN GIBSON 28. Bk 42 Ik lk Ik lk You will probably wonder why I should write a letter, since I am graduating this june. In re- ality, I graduated in February, though our com- mencement is in June. Oh,,' you will now say, then you were mid-year. Yes, I was mid- year, and the First of the mid-years, I think, to enjoy the great privilege of being editor of the Eastern Echo. Though this privilege extended over but two issues, my experiences were so won- derful that I hope mid-year students will never more be barred from this office. Of course there is hard work attached to this honor, but work is pleasure when one loves it. Many are the good times that I had as we worked on those two is- sues. For instance, I think I shall never forget the jolly little supper that six of us enjoyed one evening in the faculty kitchen on the second Hoor -by the way, that was the time that Miss Hart- man could think of nothing but goldfish when she wanted someone to shoo a small insect off the cake Cyou see, we were just beginning our learned articles on the Care of Goldlishuj. Then there was that marvelous sight-seeing trip through Bal- timore. It was really the most enlightening tour I ever took! And, oh yes, I have gained skill in telephoning while classes are changing, even to the point of guessing when the girl at Read- Taylor's is on the line fher voice is so softb and asking to be connected with Mr. Lambdin. But, joking aside fthe Literary Adviser doesn't think much of my sense of humor-she said so when I was assistant joke editorj you can't imagine how beneficial it is to be on the Echo staff, and I am so glad I had the opportunity of finding out.

Then Miss Ethel Bolgiano of the Bard Avon School of Expression gave a charming dra- matic reading entitled, 'fThe Passing of Chow Chow. The guests and members of the club were then invited to partake of refreshments in the yellow-and-white-bedecked lunch room. This enjoyable afternoon was ended by dancing in the gym- The Lanier bulletin board near Room 203 has attracted the attention of many during the year. There may be found brief illustrated clippings of literary interestg A Word a Day,', an inter- esting account of a word-how it should be spelled, pronounced and usedg a choice lyric 3 and an inspiring thought, as, All the clouds in the sky cannot move the sun a foot farther off. The display is changed weekly, and is usually of current interest. It is taken care of by the Vice- president of the Lanier Club. t-o-o-o-- Fourth-Year Debates fthe climax of Oral Compositionnj Following are some of the interesting topics de- bated in fourth-year English classes: There should be a Federal Department of Ed- ucation, with a Secretary of Education in the Presidentls cabinet. Municipalities should be governed by the City Manager System. The development of chain stores should be fur- thered. The United States should join the League of Nations. Vivisection should continue to be permitted in the United States. The petit jury should be abolished in favor of a decision by the judge. Elizabethan Literature is superior to that of the Victorian Age. Bacon wrote Shakespeare Eugene O'Neill is the greatest living American dramatist. Page 9 5 English Class Clubs Second-year English classes have held a num- ber of interesting club meetings, with decorated and illustrated programs. Some of the best were the following: The World of Sports,',-a survey of the most popular sports from their origin to the present time. Antiqua Roma, -a description of Roman customs and of ancient Rome itself. President Hoover's Cabinet, -accounts of the present cabinet members. Famous Authors,', - impersonations of the most popular authors by members of the class, who told in the first person of their lives and works. Aviation and Its Advancement, -a survey of the science of flying from the mythical days of Icarus, through the day of the great Wright brothers, up to the present triumph of Lind- bergh. A March, -an interesting program including a prologue and epilogue in verse and an original essay on March. Club meetings have also been held in the third and fourth-year classes. The following were among the most interesting subjects of these meetings: Famous Women, Marriage Customs in dif- ferent Nations, Curious Places in the Old World, Our National Parks, The W'orld Reviewf, Echoes of Echoes was a program made up of stories and poems from former Echoes. As It Should Not Be consisted of a series of concrete illustrations of a very bad club meet- ing.

They were donated to the bazaar by Mr. Henderson of Brookline, Massachusetts, who is interested in miniature books. The dictionary Was purchased through the contribution of pennies by our girls during the memorable bazaar days. i-.-o4-o-v- All Around the World A number of girls in the B3 English Class are corresponding with girls in other countries: thir- teen correspond with girls in Germanyg seven, with girls in England, eight, with girls in Can- adag and one member of the class has correspond- ents in Australia and the Canal Zone. ?i4.4-9-.- Current News Very interesting discussions are held weekly by the English Class of Dm2. Current topics, both domestic and foreign, of political, scientific, and artistic interest are considered. The basis for these facts is the Literary Digest, the Outlook, and other standard magazines. To keep abreast with the times is the primary purpose of these meetings. MODERN LANQ U AQE Class Plays Wir haben zwei kleine Schauspiele in unserer deutschen Klasse gegeben. Das erste hiesz Der Lange, der Breite und der Scharfiiugigef' Dies waren drei Manner, die einem Prinzen halfen, seine Prinzessin zu finden. Das zweite hiesz Riibezahl. Rubezahl War ein Berggeist, der die Prinzessin Emma in sein Schlosz trug. Die Schulerinnen spielten die Rollen und jede Schii- lerin in der Klasse hatte eine Rolle. Die Schau- spiele wurden auf Deutsch gegeben. Jede Schulerin hat die Worte fiir ihre eigene Rolle geschrieben. Obgleich wir keine Ausrustung fiir die Buhne hatten, fand man die Schauspiele sehr gut fiir Anfanger. , QM. THORN '3lD. Stories in German Das Deutsche, das wir gelernt haben, gefiel mir besser, Weil wir die Marchen gelesen haben. Vor einigen Tagen habe ich mich umgedreht, und sah die Madchen mit dem Mund und den Augen olfen, und ich begann mich zu wundern, was in den deutschen Marchen ist, grosze Madchen wie kleine Kinder horchen zu machen. Vielleicht ist es die aufrichtige Freude darang aber ich denke, dasz es am meisten die emfache Weise ist, auf welche die Geschichten erzahlt sind. Unter denen, die wir gelesen haben, sind: Rubezahl, Die VValdfrau, Die Vier Briider, Das Reiterbild in Dusseldorf, '4Der Riese und das Kind, und jakob's Haus, welches auf Englisch heiszt, The house that Jack built. Also sieht man, dasz wir uns uber die Marchen freuen konnten. QD. FREITAG '30j. Page 96 THE EASTERN ECHO LATIN Latin Diversions The present-day study of Latin is 'lightened' in more ways than one.

THE EASTERN ECHO COMMERCIAL Our Geography Workshop Here is a picture of a typical period in a mod- ern commercial geography class as described by the instructor, Miss Edith Smith. There is a group in the back of the room dis- cussing The Future of Chinal' or The Future of Aviation 5 there is another group working on their month's assignment at the laboratory table 3 several students are searching for material in the filing cabinet, several are getting reference books from the bookcase. All at once you hear a voice call out, F Group meet me in the back of the room. I wish to as- sign vour topics for the month's test.'l This is the chairman calling her particular group together. Again the visitor hears a voice asking for the group which is to lecture on China. This chair- man confers with her committee for suggestions and topics for the lecture. The visitor sees a group go to the teacher's desk, the teacher hands them a slip and they go out of the room. This is a group going to the library for references. What is the teacher doing? She is at her desk ready to give help to the student who needs in- dividual instruction, to assist in the selection of the best reference books, to advise chairmen of groups, and to see that material is carefully filed. -lvoaewi Typing Awards The following students have received 50-word awards for typing this year: Grace Dotterer D6 Dorothy Baer D5 Lillian Gershman D5 Eleanor Sima Cm4 Charlotte Weiner D5 Almira McCaffrey D6 Zelda Geldman D6 Freda Walsky C7 Sarah Cohen D5 Ethel Landgraf Cm4 Anna Schocket D5 Esther Bograd BM6 Lillian Steinberg D7 Helen Bautro C9 Rhoda johnson D6 Evelyn Engle C9 Mildred Glass D5 Vera Ulrich C9 Betsy Olsen D5 Ida Davitz C8 Anna Horst C8 Mildred Cooper, BlO, has written 79 perfect words per minute on the Royal Typewriter, but because a representative of the Company was not present, she received no award. .l4q-g-q-.- Eastern Commercial Club Again we hear from the Commercial Club, but this time we learn that this new club has gotten fairly under way, and held a number of worth- while meetings. At the very last meeting of the year the Typing Section will hold a contest in which a silver loving cup will be presented to the victor. The Office Practice Section has been divided into two groups on account of the large member- ship. It has been meeting regularly twice a week and the girls have enjoyed every minute of their time in the activities of this group. The Commercial Geography and Stenography divisions have planned programs which they ex- pect to put into effect in the fall. The Bookkeeping Section has had several meet- ings, one at which Mr. Gontrum gave a talk on notes and contracts. This very flourishing di- vision at this time has twenty-five members. The membership fee of the club is twenty-live cents for the year. At the last general meeting of the year, to be held May 7, the officers for the coming year will be elected. Here's to the successful future of Eastern Com- mercial Club. G. CLARKE, President. --+0-Q-0-0--1 On The Job! One very practical and helpful activity of the upper classes in Typing is the typing of all the Echo material printed during the year. This is a big task, without which it would hardly be pos- sible to have the Echo at all. The school should therefore appreciate the work done this year by the following classes under the direction of Miss Ruth Smith: Cm5, Dm3, D5, D6. The Echo Staff.

N 'NJ THE EASTERN ECHO The Glee Club's Opera HE Pirates of Penzance, a delightful light opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, was presented on Friday, May 10, 1929, by Eastern's Glee Club. As in the case of all the operas by this successful team, the story is interesting and amusing. It centers around Frederick, a young man, who, through the mistake of his nurse-maid, was apprenticed to a pirate instead of a pilot. On reaching the age of twenty-one, however, Fred- erick decides that he must leave the pirates, and dutifully informs them that he expects to kill them as soon as he is free. Hence he sets out with Ruth, his nurse-maid fof some forty yearsj who, in answer to Frederick's frequent inquiries has always assured him that she is very beautiful. He is quite disillusioned when he perceives a bevy of lovely young maidens, and renounces Ruth for the most beautiful of the girls-Mabel, youngest daughter of General Stanley. The pirates cap- ture the girls but their father, who knows that the pirates never molest orphans, being parentless themselves, pleads orphanage, and with his daugh- ters, is set free, and all are elected honorary members of the pirates' hand. Meanwhile, however, Frederick, having discov- ered that since he was born on February 29 of a leap-year he is really only tive years old, con- cludes that he is still a member of the pirates, and is duty-bound to tell them that Major- General Stanley is not an orphan. They invade his castle, but are conquered by a group of police- men whom Frederick has hired to pursue them. Before long the General discovers that the pirates are really young English peers sowing their wild oats , he forgives them all, and permits them to marry his daughters. Mabel and Frederick are united and live happily ever after. The backgrounds for both acts were extremely romantic: A rocky sea shore on the coast of Cornwall, and A ruined chapel by midnight. But the music of the opera is of course the most important thing, and for its appreciative and spirited interpretation of this the cast, under Miss Armstrong's splendid direction, deserved-and received-enthusiastic praise. The solo parts were as follows: Richard, a Pirate Chief ................... Ellen Alpigini Samuel, his Lieutenant ........,,..... Alberta Benesch Frederick, a Pirate Apprentice ' Evelyn Tracey Major General Stanley, of British Army ' Ena Sinclair Edward, a Sergeant of Police ........... Mary Wiley Mabel, General Stanleyir Youngest Daughter Louisa Buttner I-VUIWI General Stanlegfs Dofothy Vogel Edith D h Marion Gruellmeyer Kafg aug ters Elizabeth Carr Ruth, a Piratical Maid-of-all-work Matilda Zeuch General Stanley's numerous other Daughters, Pirates and Policemen completed the company. The opera was repeated the following night. It is an interesting coincidence that iust twenty vears ago, i. e. in the spring of 1909, Eastern's Glee Club presented another Gilbert and Sullivan opera, Pinafore. -fe-Q-Q-.-... Student Council The last part of this year the Council, besides carrying on its regular duties has started the very pleasing custom of having the radio turned on in the Assembly Hall at lunch time. This plan provides an entertaining place to meet and talk with your friends. About a month or so ago the Council started the financial experiment of collecting a small sum of money from each girl who claimed her lost article at the Lost and Found. This brought quite a neat sum into the Council's Treasury and, added to the 39.00 received from the rummage Page 101 sale of unclaimed lost articles, made possible the cleaning of our American Flag. After the warm weather came the Council, as usual, sponsored the volley ball games on Broad- way. At the last meeting of the year, the President pro tem was elected. This was a new proceed- ing. - The closing activity of the Council was not a serious affair at all, but a real party -a de- lightful ending to a prosperous year. E. SEWARD, Secretary. THE EASTERN ECHO BASKETBALL Inter-School On March 22, Eastern played Forest Park at the latter's school. Anyone who saw this game will tell you it was the most thrilling she has ever seen. It couldn't help but be, for when the whistle blew, the game was ours-and by one point! However, it was really several days be- fore it was decided who was the victor, since the time-keepers disagreed. Well, everything is straightened out now, and the score of the A teams was 20-21 and of the B teams, 36-15-both in our favor. Then, on March 26, Western's two teams came here to play us, and another exciting game fol- lowed. This time our A team won, the score being 36-14. Western's B team was victorious, with the score 15-16. The next inter-scholastic game of the season was played with Forest Park, this time at East- ern, on Thursday, April 4. The gym was crowded with cheering girls from both schools. Up until the very last half, the A teams were running head- on, but just in time Eastern came up valiantly, winning with the score 31-27. Our B team, we regret to say, lost its game, but then, you see, we felt rather badly about taking them all. The last basketball game was played with West- ern on Friday, April 12. We certainly must hand it to our Western friends that they played a snappy game, and we shake their hands even though they did beat us with a score of 22-19. According to the round-robin way of scoring, Eastern has once again annexed city champion- ship, with 8 points. Forest Park has 6, and Western 4. +4-0-o-Q-. The Junior-Senior Game lt was surely one exciting game! You re- member, last year, those Juniors fthe present '29j won from the Seniors. You couldn't tell the outcome, however, from the way things looked before the game, for on Friday, March 15, wear- ers of both red and white and gold and white were out in throngs to help win. Both teams looked pretty strong, too. The line-ups were as follows: fnnior Team Senior Team E. Glendenning .....,... . .... F. .... .... ...... R . Loveless G. Wustland ......... ........ F .......... ......... E . Bowen D. Smith ............ ........ C ...... .... ........ S . L eutner C. Schuler ...... ....... S .C ..... . ...... . T. Jester J. Miller .......................... G.. ............... I. Wickman E. Engle .......................... G. ................ M. Johnson For a time it really did look as if the Juniors might be ahead, but towards the last the Seniors seemed to gain strength. The score was 29-17, and once again '29 has interclass championship? l-Q-Q-Q-Qi Assembly News On March 7th the Baltimore Symphony Or- chestra paid its annual visit to Eastern, and Group I had the good fortune to attend. The program was as follows: Tschaikowsky ..... Symphony No. 5 in E minor. Op. 64 Andante-Allegro con anima Andante Contabile Valse fAllegro Moderatoj Finale Debussy ....... ........ T he Little Shepherd Golliwogg's Cake Walk. From the Suite Children's Cor- nerl' Chabrier ............... --.Overture to the opera Gwen- doline On March 12 Group II was entertained with a musical assembly. Bernard Abramovitch, Her- Page 103 bert Lokolov, Jack Stofberg, and Walter Lipsch played on the violin, cello, and bass viol. Their program was varied and contained the music of Mozart, Tschaikowsky and other great masters. The assembly was most enjoyable. Maryland Day. March 25, was remembered at Eastern with an appropriate assembly. After the singing of Maryland, My Maryland, the speaker, Mr. Sydney L. Nyburg, was introduced. He said that his speech was to be a sermon of joy, and proceeded to carry out his promise. He related two historical incidents which happened after the Revolutionary War and two myths which have been handed down through all these years concerning these two facts. Our city, he said, is full of all sorts of legends if we would only try to discover them. Finally he impressed the fact with poetry that we should be eager and hungry for the vital, romantic things of life. THE EASTERN ECHO On April 3 Miss Wilhelmina Guttenson, an Eastern graduate, returned to sing most delight- fully at the assembly. Her accompanist was Miss Clara Ascherfeld, who also gave a bit of inter- esting information about each song. Miss Gut- tensonis songs were in English, French, German, and Italian, and included among others La Co- lomba farranged by Schindlerj, Nina fPer- golesij, Aria from Mephistopl1eles QBoitoj, Widmung'l CShumannj, 'fSpring Song of the Robin Woman QCadmanD. April 30, 1929-The Student Council had charge of this assembly and Lucenia Smith, Pres- ident, introduced Dr. Stimson, Dean of Goucher College, as the principal speaker. Her address was upon the subject of Honor. She spoke of how the so-called credit so freely bestowed in the business world, is actually honor, and of how men depend on one another's sense of honor in accepting checks, etc. Then she applied her subject to occurrences in the scientific and aca- demic world, speaking of the necessity for hon- esty in the scientist's descriptions of laboratory tests and discoveries, and honesty in the daily routine of the class room. In social' relations also we should keep our honor untarnished. In the highest type of such relations dishonest things are not done 5 cheating at card games, for ex- ample, is not Hplaying the game in the social world. Lastly, Dr. Stimson said we must be honest with ourselves. Seeing that we cannot escape dwelling with ourselves all our lives, we should respect ourselves and not do unfair or dis- honest things for which we would be ashamed. In connection with this last point she mentioned a poem which had come to her notice. A typical stanza of this poem, which appeared in our own Municipal Journal, follows: I waht to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve every marfs respectg But here in the struggle for fame and pelf I waht to be able to like myself. I dorft waht to look at myself and know That Fm blaster, and bluff, and empty show. --+-o-o-o+-- Modern Language fCorttirzued from Page 96D Una Visita Un dia en el mes de marzo la Senorita Arbo- leda, una profesora del Colegio de Goucher, la cual nacio en la America del Sur, nos hablo en nuestra clase de espanol. Yo estaba sorprendida saber comprender casi todo lo que ella dijo, pero nuestra profesora nos dijo que la seiiorita hablo mas lentamente que de ordinario al hablar con los de su patria. Ella hablo de las costumbres, el vestido, el clima y la gente, especialmente los negros que viven alli, de como estos se visten, y como les gusta mucho un clima caliente. Ella se interrumpio muchas veces para pedirnos si comprenderiamos todo lo que dijo, y siendo muy buenas alumnas, respondimos siempre en alta voz-Si!- Hablo una o dos palabras en ingles y convenimos en que su modo de hablar ingles era tan simpatico como el de habler espanol. CM. COARD DSJ Page 104 Souvenirs Faculty High School Commtenoements Miss Cairnesl first diploma was from a coun- try high school. This one was sent to her by mail, so that her first real commencement ex- ercises came when she graduated from Normal School. There the graduates sang the beautiful Blue Danubel' and heard a speech by the Gov- ernor. Miss Miller remembers her graduation as the time she got even with everyone. Her class was divided into two factions, between which dis- sensions of some sort were always occurring. The opposing faction decided to wear hats at the commencement. Miss Miller's faction said noth- ing. Well, the girls of the opposing side bought gorgeous hats for the big event. Miss Miller's faction arrived at the exercises hatless. Needless to say, Miss Miller's side was victor that time. Hats were not worn, for the girls were compelled to dress alike. Just before her graduation exercises at the Lyric there occurred a funny little incident that amuses Miss Lawton greatly when she thinks how things have changed. The girls were as- sembled, waiting in suspense for the Honorary Member to approve of them. But the Honorary Member's keen eyes overlooked no detail, and there, horror of horrors! was a girl with paint and powder on! The poor girl was sent out to wash her face while the line was held up and the audience was kept waiting. Imagine a thing like that happening now! Why, the-but never mind. There is one thing that stands out in Miss Haddaway's memory concerning her gradua- tion, and that is the hot old cap and gown which the graduates were compelled to wear. Around the neck of the gown a dicky was worn. You'll wonder perhaps what a dicky is. Well, it is a high lace collar and a jabot, worn to hide the bare neck revealed by the open-neck gown. How would you like to wear one of those gowns on a hot June day? The girls of Miss Kratsch's graduating class were dressed all in white with a red rose pinned to their gowns. The special outing was an ex- cursion on the city's ice boat, Latrobef' Miss Mallalieu did not graduate from a public high school, but from the Girls' Latin School of Baltimore. On the day of graduation she felt very important, but now she wonders why, for with each advancing step along life's path of knowledgel' she realizes how little she really did know then. Yes, it was very warm that commencement day, and ankle-length dresses and long sleeves added to the general misery. And it had taken much hard work to be ready to graduate. flu those days, for example, to show proper appre- ciation of Cicero the girls first memorized the whole Archian Oration in Latin, then carefully translated it, and memorized the translationlj But what of past or present discomfort? Wasn't she being thoroughly prepared to enter her chosen College, Goucher, the goal of many a student in the same class at the Girls' Latin School? Mrs. Parrish has forgotten most of the things that happened, but she says that she still pre- serves the hoops from her graduation dress. Of course, we know that hoops were out of style years before Mrs. Parrish was born. Miss Crowl distinctly remembers that she wore an elaborate white dress, and that Mrs. Parrish, who graduated with her, wrote the class song. When Miss Travers graduated, all the girls of the class were dressed very simply, wearing white gowns with no flowers. The most out- standing event of her graduation was the Senior Luncheon. The program of speeches was ar- ranged to represent the firmament. The principal was the sun, the honorary member was the moon, and the faculty were the stars. Miss JOESTING'S graduation from Eastern was not any different from our present gradua- tions, except that during Senior Day, after the luncheon was held in the gymnasium, the girls staged the evolution of dancing, portraying the dances from ancient times up to the modern ball- room dances. Miss Joesting thinks that if such a performance were given now, quite a few more steps would have to be added to the evolution. Page 106 THE EASTERN ECHO The girls' appearance stands foremost in Mrs. Baker's memory of her graduation from Western High School. For the first time all the girls put up their hair. Un those days they had hair to put uplj Their dresses were long and the skirts were called stove-pipe skirts, from their obvious resemblance to that object. They had been told not to cross their knees on the stage, but the width fthat is the lack of widthj of the skirts made this warning entirely unnecessary. Long white kid gloves added much to the general dis- comfort, since it was a very hot night. Although white ivory fans covered with chiffon were car- ried, the girls were not permitted to use them, as they fthe fansj made too much noise. Those sweet girl graduates, therefore, were forced to suffer in silence. Weeks before this, they had been trained how to receive diplomas with their left hand and shake hands with the principal of W. H. S., with their right. The march used for commencement was March On, the same as the song used for leaving assemblies. The speaker of the evening praised the beauty of the sweet young ladies and expressed the hope that they would all marry graduates from City College. , On the night Miss Denton was graduated, it was very cool, a thing which is most unusual for a june commencement. Everything went smoothly until her name was called, when she tripped over a gir1's foot and sat right down in her lap. Fortunately, however, only the mem- bers of the class saw that catastrophe, as she was on the third row. Miss Heaphy has been reminded by hearing the people up in the music room singing Lovely Spring, of her own graduation from Eastern High, this was one of the songs which her class sang. In addition to this there were two songs in German in honor of Dr. Becker, who was then principal. She was especially excited-and who wouldn't be ?-over the fact that she was to re- ceive a Peabody medal. An old, old man gave them out and he was so slow that she put her hand out and had to draw it back several times before she felt it actually laid in her palm. Miss Grote was graduated from Western in what was the largest commencement class up to that time. She was garbed in yards and yards of white lace, and on her hair was a huge white satin bow. She was admittedly miserable in a high boned collar, but nevertheless the exercises went off successfully. Page I 0 7 Miss Haslup was graduated from the Girls' Latin School, then situated at St. Paul and 24th Streets. As president of her class she felt a certain responsibility for the exercises. More- over, she had to deliver the President's Address. The exercises took place at 4.00 P. M. on a fright- fully hot June day. Miss Haslup had on a white organdie dress with long tucked sleeves, and a ribbon collar wrapped twice around her neck. Everyone stuck to her chair and several dresses were much the worse for the experience. But the affair went off successfully, and all the girls felt very proud and happy as they marched off with their diplomas and beautiful flowers. Miss Rippard's commencement was made es- pecially thrilling because she wore, on that oc- casion, the first dress she had ever had made by a dressmaker. It had tucks on it and lovely lace insertion, with beautiful butterfly bows set- ting off the entire creation. The graduation ex- ercises were held in F ord's theatre and each girl received six precious invitations. The thing that impressed Miss Coggins most was the difference between the clothes worn by the girls at her graduation and at the present-day graduations. At her exercises the girls wore dresses just a little above the floor, now they are just a little above the knee! The dresses were trimmed with ruffles galore, while now they are as simple as can be. And the waists! The girls wore tiny wasp-waisted dresses, as unlike as possible our straight dresses with no sign of a waistline. ' At the final commencement rehearsal at the Lyric, Mrs. Gibbons' partner was absent. Imag- ine her distress! If she had to walk up to the stage alone on graduation night, the uniformity of the line would be broken, not to mention her own undesired conspicuousness. Mrs. Gibbons nervously thought of the coming graduation and the missing partner. But this story ends happily. The other girl appeared and everybody was re- lieved. When Miss Gallagher thinks of her high school graduation, she recalls a slim girl of about eighty- two pounds dressed in a long white gown with a train. This girl, who has her hair up for the first time, proudly marches up to the platform and delivers the Salutatory Address, including the class prophecy. l I H. QS 1516 I guts I HR-R! lfhr-r! This is station E. H. S. E. broadcasting from the Eastern High School. Our program for this eve- ning is prepared especially for the graduating class, Eastern's '29. VVe have secured a group of very talented performers, representing East- ern High Exchanges, to entertain us on this oc- casion. The group is made up of Poets, Story Tellers, Essayists, News Reporters, and Ulokers, who will appear in the order indicated. First a trio of poets will chant for you a group of poems varied in form and character. These poets are associated with Twill' Critic, The Noddler, and Kcnsilzytoaz Disfajff. CONTRAST A white house- A white that casts purple shadows. Its gables dappled By blushing apple trees against the sung VVhile below, the golden cups of daffodils Set off gray flagstones. POOR GIRL! Lately at a gateway Stood a pretty maid. VVednesday was her date-day. Late she reached the gateway! VVhat will her sweet mate say ? just a bit afraid, Waited at the gateway, Lonely little maid! VVHEN LIFE LAUGHS Life is such a funny thing VVith changes ever new, Sometimes it makes you laugh at it, And then it laughs at you. He who laughs last, laughs best they say, These words are true, pardig Perhaps, dear friends, that is just how Life laughs at you and me. Now a famous story-teller representing our latest Exchange, The Missile, will summarize an original story for us. LUCK Tim McGuire was known as Sure Win McGuire. His chief interest in life was horse racing, and he had an almost uncanny knack of picking the winner. Two of his best characteristics were that he loved horses as if they were human and he was never known to fail anyone who needed or depended on him. Black Lady, Sure VVin's horse, was entered in the Derby for the first time. She was in a splendid con- dition and the bets stood ten to one in favor of her. Her chief rival was Scarab. Tim had become quite friendly with Scarab's rider, jim Richards. But two days before the race jim broke his arm. He could not ride Scarab in the race! McGuire, masked and unknown to everyone, rode Scarab in the race! Black Lady went down! Scarab came in first! McGuire did 11ot regret it, for jim's going to college had depended on Scarab's winning that race: therefore, Scarab just had to win! One of The Mi.v.r171e'.r essayists will next present Galoshes. lialoshes are a peculiar foot covering adapted and spon- sored by the well-known tribe called Flappers. At the first sign of even a single cloud, the flapper dons her galoshes and sallies forth. Now, according to my observations, a true Happer never desires to fasten those monstrosities, even though they may have that popular fastening named Zipper. ln the school, the flappers seem to delight in the fact that they have discovered a method of making noise for which they cannot be reproached. In the classroom and up and down the halls they go, flop, flop, flop, causing all eyes to turn towards the doors as they pass. If ever a teacher wearies of this eternal paddling up and down and commands a devotee of this practice to remove the ob- noxious boots, I hope to be in on the fun, for the ma- jority of the flappers dispense with slippers. Imagine the embarrassment of the teacher. No, of course I didn't mean the Happerg who ever heard of an embar- rassed flapper anyway? And now that the dingy heel-dragging slicker has given way to the neat, dapper trench-coat, will the flappers' stock in-trade, the galoshes, make way for a trimmer style of foot protection, or will the amazing flapper calmly annex her father's hip-high Fishing boots? Now our selected team of News Reporters take the stage-that is, the microphone. The Periclean Society of Eastside High School holds the limelight at literary meetings, debates, orations, and readings. The meetings are held every Thursday after- noon, and all juniors and Seniors can join. The Nature Club of Eastside High School stimulates more interest in the studies of the great out-doors. The Page 108 THE EASTERN ECHO results of its efforts are in a large cabinet which con- tains approximately three hundred different specimens of flowers, shrubs, mosses and lichens, pressed and mounted in special folders. In one of the rooms of the school are various sorts of insect and bird collections made by members of the club. There is a Better Girl's Bowling Team at East Boston. The proprietor of the bowling alleys is this year again offering a cup to the girl with the highest average. About 20 or more of Lake View High's Seniors are members of the Senior Girls' Service Council. Once a week this Council entertains the girls of a sophomore class. Each Senior acts as a hostess to one or two younger girls at the party in the gym annex. Every- one brings her own lunch, however, the Seniors provide entertainment and dessert, which may be anything from ju-ju beans to a cream putt. The Council is often called on for help in different ways. On November 14, 1928, at the Evening High School of Baltimore, Mr. Kingsbury demonstrated a typewriting drill through the courtesy of the Royal Typewriting Company. He gave helpful hints on typewriting as he demonstrated, showing the correct posture at the ma- chine and giving a talk on rhythm and accuracy. Our program will be concluded by a trip through Jokeland, personally conducted by half a dozen famous Jokers. Jimmy Ford spent two whole hours in the art room recently, trying to draw his own conclusion. -The Critic A freshman composition: He was killed-shot through the temple. He died three months later. -Libertas Hic Haec Hoc is what they say In their funny Latin way, Or Miss O'Brien the law will lay- How does she get that way? -Maroon and White Zeke Henson: Esmond, what would you rather be in, a collision or an explosion? Esmond Marks: A collision, of course. In a collision, there you are, but in an explosion where are you? -Tiger Tales SOME PEOPLE THINK That the patent office handles patent medicines. That Eskimos hang their wash on the north pole. -The Criterion Lucy: Do you mean to tell me you take that medicine only on Sundays? Lily: The doctor told me to take it religiously. -The Noddler This is station E. H. S. E. broadcasting from the Eastern High School, Baltimore, Maryland.

The education, however, of our goldfish is most important. If they are subject to home- sickness, they must by all means be kept at home and tutored, but otherwise they should he sent to Professor Snailis Academy. Both academic and commercial courses are given and also the correct etiquette for the student goldfish. Quite a few of our friends graduated this year and it is with this in mind and with the additional idea of arousing your interest in this select school of fish that we record its graduation proceedings for the class of '29. II. Grtzdzmtimz The Hrst number on the program was a solo sung by Timothy Tadpole entitled No More Lessons, No More Books. Then the chorus sang a selection from the Fish Fates of Penzance. fAt this juncture Minnie Minnow's Great-aunt Perch began to cry and had to be taken outside.j Trudy Trout then recited Walpole Whale's fa- mous Farewell Addressf, Another selection, 'fHow Can I Leave Thee?' was then rendered by the chorus. VVhile singing this piece the lit- tle fishes pointed to their Alma Mater's Hag. CThe weeping was so great that the tide rose six inches, and all the little water bugs in the balcony could hardly glimpse the platformj Page I I I Clarence's performance came next and with great alacrity he swam to the center of the stage. XVith great impressiveness he announced his sub- ject, How to Keep From Getting Caughtf' and then proceeded to deliver an extremely fishy ora- tion. After this Professor Snail presented the diplomas. QSally Shad and Sarah Shad got theirs mixed up and Tommy Tuna Fish said, You're welcome instead of 'Thank you, but at last they were all graduated-the tallest standing first and the smallest last.j Everyone then stood and sang It Ain't Gonna Rain No More, after which Professor Snail stepped forward and said if ever they found the fifth dimension or how to separate their world into H and O atoms they might come back and receive a check mark. n .-.X , 'Ns - aff?

Please take for your assignment - the hospitable door admitted still another-the head of one of the departments. May I see you for a moment, Miss -? she asked. Miss 1 and the head of the de- partment withdrew. During her absence the stu- dents set eagerly to work. A horn sounded through the open window, a street car rattled by. The one-minute bell sounded, and at the same time the teacher hurried in. Girls, she said resolutely, raising her voice above the ever-increasing din, girls, you'll please get this assignment. The best class nodded re- assuringly-but the door opened and a throng of girls appeared in the doorway. Miss - glanced at them a little wildly. Girls, take -but it Was too late. Impelled from behind, the throng ad- vanced, the best class and its resolute teacher retired, regretfully, before the inevitable. Do you not agree with me that this was in all respects a perfect period? U Have you noticed that every year in Eastern is represented by a story? There are the two very different ones credited to '29- Alils Trust and that exciting basket ball story. 1930 is repre- sented by the concluding chapter of f'Tick-Tock. Cfiave you finished reading it?

There- fore, understand that from now on we are ar- dently in favor of study and formally announce same to the world, plus the faculty. The Echo is very fortunate in having such friendly and encouraging messages from its for- mer editors-in-chief. But what seemed most pleasing to me was that all of them considered their work on the Echo staff a most profitable ex- perience, remembered with sincere pleasure. Aren't there a lot of questions in this issue? - Do You Remember, '29ers, When? - and Why? -and We Ask You! These will keep you busy for some time.

If you will carefully observe the Sing-Songi' songs Cif you will permit the expressionj you will note that they have been slightly edited by the staff, mainly in the way of titles and punc- tuation. The Echo hopes you like its edition of these popular songs. Did you notice the size of the joke Depart- ment? The joke Editor tells me that she tried to meet your demands for more jokes, and I should say she had met it. And still all orig- inall Have you picked out your future portrait from Mildred Skirven's fascinating Picture-prophecy? It takes '29 girls to think up original ways of doing things! Didn't you like those reminiscences of Fac- ulty High School Commencementsn? I did. I think they make teachers seem more human to us, knowing that they had experiences similar to ours,-don't you? ? ? ? What's missing? The Blackboard page, of course. It was decided to omit this page because of lack of room, but the staff would appreciate greatly any comments on whether or not you would like to have it again in the fu- ture. Page 116 THE EASTERN ECHO FoR THE BENEFIT of the uninitiated who can- not decipher those hieroglyphics Cotherwise known as Shorthandj on the Commercial Department page, I offer this translation Q I suppose that's the right termj of one of the jokes Cyes, they're all jokes lj : And Then-- The new stenographer looked like a million dollars. Class was written all over her. The office in accordance acclaimed her, Some dame. Then she opened her vel- vet lips and said to the ofhce boy, Say, bozo, ain't there no carbon paper around this dump ? If you are interested, any shorthand student will, I am sure, translate the others for you. The above translation, I regret to say, is not my own! How do you like The Trials of a Puppet by Frances Sturgeon '28? Why, after reading that I could hardly persuade myself that it wasn't I who had been through all those troubles! And those pathetic pictures! I-Iow would you like to be a puppet, jerked around by a Hpuppeteeru? One of the plans for this number came to nought, I hear, through lack of cooperation from you girls. That was the plan to have Personals about the homerooms and individual girls. The Echo Staff gave a definite suggestion, twice re- peated, about this contribution, but-well, I don't want to scold you in the Anniversary Number, but I do hope next year's staff won't have this kind of disappointment. Anyhow, a few per- sonals did come in. Here's half of one-just to show you what might have been tif you want to know the subject -and the other half-ask Lois Ankewitz C6j: She's a most determined person, You can see it in her eye, Though it's a rather pretty one, As blue as bluest sky. I When I realized that it would be five whole months before I read one of the excellent Gold Fish articles, I felt like weeping with the little aquatic specimens who wept at their commence- ment exercises. Professor Volume tells me that he hopes we have duly profited from his sage ad- vice, and I, for one, can assure him that this is the case, and hope he continues his learned studies. May the fish live long and prosperously, and may they be bigger and better next year! Page 117 The author of Sculpture in Our School, I note, laughs at a certain member of the Echo staff who mistook the Dante,' in Room 305 for an Indian chief. But let me tell you a little secret-Mary herself thought he was an oriental goddess! Wonder what the old gentleman would think of that! Have you read the quotations from the Latin poet Martial? Is seems that he was quite a sa- tirical old fellow-not to be disrespectful or any- thing. The editors assure me they haven't forgotten I although probably everybody else hasj the prom- ise they made in the first number of the Echo- namely, to print the year's complete lists of lit- erary contributors and of honorably rejected in the final issue of the Echo. Lack of space now prevents the printing of these, so the lists of names have been placed on the Echo bulletin boards. Read them! We're not going to tell you how many funny versions of 'fEt Dossisalisi' were handed in, but anyhow the funniest version was handed in by Mae I-Iarmeyer of B3, who was announced at the last Echo meeting as winner and recipient of the dictionary! Personally, I just can't get over the art work that these Echo artists keep producing. We'll surely hear from them later, and then we'll like to recall that we witnessed the beginnings of their careers right here on the Eastern Echo. A Fable For Graduates Father Time was standing 'at the gate of the New Year checking off the achievements which each individual had to report. Up to him came a sweet girl graduate, holding her diploma in her hand. 9 See, Father Time, she said, I have my A.Bf' That is splendid, replied Father Time. Now you can begin to learn the rest of the alphabet.
