We are glad to see so many of our old members back again, and doubly so to see the great number of new members. We hope that the new teachers and students will soon feel as much at home here as We do. We are like one big family, and are al- ways glad to see it enlarge. See NEES Now that we are back at school, and have settled down in the routine of things, there is one big thing we should always keep in mind. Support the School! ‘There are always a few—imind, only a few, who, while they profess to have that admirable quality called “School Spirit” in abundance, still often look on the pessimistic side of affairs, and, look- ing on that side, naturally talk and act in that way. They are always scared of the “other fellow,” although they may not have seen him more than once or twice. “That team’s too big for us— we'll never win” ; or “Why, that company is all experienced men—we'll never beat it out.” You've heard that kind of talk. And it’s safe to say that “that team” was read about in the newspapers, or some member of “that company” told about the good men in it. It's up to members of the school to support the school.

This year, on account of the financial handi- cap under which the paper is striving, we must have more subscriptions. In order to do this we must have more and better material turned in. Let us all, therefore, get to work and put a little time towards helping the literary end of the paper. The following letter needs no com- ment: To the Editor of Tum EASTERNER: Washington, D. C., Dear Madam: Being a hearty admirer of your paper and a member of the Eastern High School, I have decided to ask your ap- THE EASTERNER 9 proval of a plan, which I think, if suc- cessful, will not only improve the Eng- lish in our schools but also in the whole city. It is about the English used by our advertisers. How can the teachers of English expect us to use and spell words correctly when every day we see posters and showeards using them wrongly? On many signs throughout the city we see the possessive of “it” spelt “it’s.” This is only one of the many misuses which cause the well-educated public em- barrassment. How can we, when from childhood up we see our language abused, expect to become English scholars? Some cities now have a number of men whose business it is to see that their advertisers use correct English. Why can not we? Our citizens pay taxes in order to educate their children. Why not take some of .this money to support a commission whose business it is to pre- vent this misuse. Hoping you will take immediate steps in this matter, I remain, Your sincere admirer, M. Wricut, 9b. Gp MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF HIGH SCHOOL. I walked through the front entrance, on the twenty-first of September, feeling like any other Freshie—self-satisfied, in- dependent, and very much too wise in my own conceit. Once inside, I felt like a drop of water in the ocean. I hadn't the faintest idea where I was going, but I was on my way. I believe I finally reached a classroom, where, as a matter of fact, I did not belong. Noth- ing daunted me, and I continued to lose my way some two or three dozen times. I went up the “down” and down the “up” stairs until my feet ached; always, I re- sorted to the office as a last ray of hope. In fact, I am ashamed to look that door inthe face, yet. Tired, lonesome, and forlorn, I roamed through the unfamiliar halls, and at last, throwing what small bit of my independ- ence was left out the window, I asked a “Senior” where 9B was. I was utterly ignored, save for a pitiful glance which I interpreted: “Poor little Freshie! Lost, I suppose.” Pity is a very great com- fort sometimes, but— Mentally indignant at the haughty Senior, I bumped into a very charming lady who turned out to be my fairy god- mother in disguise. After she had straightened out my program, hunted my long-lost class, and made me much more comfortable, even the life of a Freshie again seemed worth living. My first impressions, I fear, were not over-flattering, but since it is second im- pressions that count, they can be easily overlooked. Just at present, there is no place on earth as fine as Eastern, and “all the powers in Europe” couldn't get me out of it.

That same evening lated the incident to a friend: Most amusing thing happened today. I was questioning the class and asked a boy who wrote Hamlet, and he an- swered, Please, ma’am, it wasn’t me.

Tue Easterner hopes that these new members of the faculty will find their new labors agreeable, Eastern October 13 a rally for the Athletic Association was held. Mr. Wallis ex- plained the financial situation, and Cap- fain Clark urged the school to back up the team. The first meeting of the Home and School Association was held on October 9. It was a “get acquainted” meeting. Preceding the regular meeting, a recep- tion was held by the teachers for the parents. Mr. Ryan, of the Editorial Staff of the United States Bureau of Education, described the work of Home and School Associations in other cities. Dr. Small also addressed the meeting on present conditions of the school. On Oct. 12 the Cadet Rally was held, and the officers for this year were an- nounced. Speeches, short but very much to the point, were made by the commis- sioned officers and the first sergeant. On Friday, October 2, after the 6th period, we were called to Assembly Flall to hear the good news that the colonel- ship had again found its way to Eastern, and that Gilbert Clark is the Colonel for this year. This makes the fourth con- secutive year that Eastern has had the colonelcy. October 19 a Bank Rally was held in the Assembly Hall. Mr. Catella and Mr. Walter Graves spoke of the advantages of having a bank in the school. HONOR ROLL. The following is a list of the’ pupils who received honors for the year end- ing 1914.

The use of an acre of ground near Rock Creek Park, overlooking Pierce Mill, has been secured from Mr. Louis P. Shoemaker for the Camp Fire girls. On Friday, October 9, the members of Camp Desire made a temporary camp on this land. Two Camp Fires from Tech. were entertained at supper and at a grand council fire in the evening. Miss Thomas, the Y. W. C. A. secretary from Buenos Aires, spoke on the opportuni- ties of North American girls. A few members of Camp Desire spent the night “sleeping out.” Toc Waugh Camp Fire has been in search of a guardian, but up to the pres- ent time has been unsuccessful. Pocahontas Camp Fire went on a hike Saturday, October 10th. PHILOLOGIAN NOTES.

Plans for a Hallowe'en Party have been made. The Society hopes to do much work in the literary line this year. Already several interesting program meetings have been held. The program committee has some pleasant surprises in store for all who attend the meetings. Every girl should do her part, to help make the society a success in every way. We want to make this year the best in the history of the society, and in order to do this we need the help of every member. -Walter- (to advertiser): I can write about anything.

With Eastern’s success in securing her ourth successive Colonel, we hope to make this a banner year for Eastern in the history of the High School Cadet Regiment. The regimental officers for this year are as follows: Colonel, G. C. Clark, Eastern; Lieutent-Colonel, J. T. Porter, Tech.; Majs., M. S. Fillius, Tech., Bain aightfoot, Western, Chester Bassett, Central; Regimental Adjutant, Earnest Williams, Central; Regimental Quarter- master, D. G. McNair, Tech.; Battalion djutants, W. B. Greenwood, Tech.; oseph Spillman, Western; E. R. Shep- herd, Central. With such an efficient corps of officers as this, the regiment, under Col. Clark, expects to accomplish much this year. The new colonel has announced that to the former program will be added the “Manual of the Bayonet.” He has said also that the non-commissioned officers will receive instructions in tactical preb- lems in the suburbs of the city, and that the regiment as a whole will be taken into the country at least once for this purpose. He has also stated that there will be systematic shooting at the indoor and outdoor ranges of the N. G. D. C. It is hoped that these added induce- ments will bring forth a large number of cadets in every school. COMPANY F. Company F has started drilling now, and the new men are making progress rapidly. On the first drill day about five squads came out, and, while more have joined since, only a small portion of the male members of the school has enlisted.

Oct. 10, 1914. « To the Faculty and Student Body of Eastern High School: Four years ago when an under-grad- uate of Eastern High School became Colonel of the High School Cadet Regi- ment it was an almost unheard of thing for any high school to obtain this honor for more than two years in succession. etters From Our Mlumnt And last year, when for the third suc- cessive time old Eastern had the Colonel- cy, it was beyond the fondest hopes of most of us that she would be able to retain the honor for another year. Therefore, it was with great pleasure indeed that we learned that your candi- date had been successful in his competi- tion for this high position. We rejoice with you over the fact that once again THE EASTERNER 15 our Alma Mater has shown her su- periority over the other high schools in this particular branch of student activity. We are proud that we are graduates of such a school as old Eastern. And being such, we wish to congratu- late the man who has won the victory this year, and also the faculty and stu- dent body, the former on being able to turn out such men, the latter on having such men among its numbers. May this achievement so stimulate the hearts and minds of the whole under- graduate body, that you shall not be satisfied until the name of Eastern stands for supremacy in every thing connected with high school life. And by imparting this spirit to those who shall come after you, may you build up a name for the light blue and white which shall never be forgotten by those who come in contact with her.

Be Near the end of last year ata meeting of the Rifle Club the following officers were elected: President Schwartz, Sec- retary H. C. Graves, Treasurer Floyd, and Captain Barkman. ‘Treasurer Floyd did not return this year, therefore at the first meeting this year Harvey Johnson was elected to fill the vacancy. At this meeting Mr. Schwartz told the club that the rifles, which had been re- turned to the War Department to be re- paired, would be returned to the club ina few days. As soon as these are received practice will begin. In addition to the N. R. A. prizes, which are given every year, two new decorations have been offered to the members of the club. The prizes are the “Proficient Shot’s Ribbon” and the “Perfect Score Ribbon,” and are to be presented to the fellows who make the qualifying scores. Miss Boyd: McEllhannon, where did you come from? Mac: From Mr. Schwartz's room. Miss B.: You'll have to go up to As- sembly Hall and get a permit first. Mac: Have to go all the way up there? Miss B.:; Oh, no, just go up half way and it will drop down the other half.

As Well That Ends Well. It was, as I remember it, on the thir- teenth of August, in the business por- tion of a small town on the south shore of Long Island, that I was a witness of the worst fire that has ever raged on the strip of land known by that name. It was one of those hot August days that makes one wish for zero weather or a glass of ice cold lemonade. Not a breath of air was stirring. Not a drop of rain had fallen for weeks, and every- thing was as dry as a cracker. I was first made aware of the fire by the ringing of the large fire gong, which hung in the tower of the shed holding the only hose-reel in town, I hurried to this shed, and, finding no one there, took the key which always hangs on the door-jamb, unlocked the door and tried to drag the hand reel into the street. Somehow, my muscles would not respond, so, grabbing a hammer, I rushed up the stairs to help ring the fire- gong. By this time two of the volunteer fire- men were coming down the street, walk- ing as though they had plenty of time. After impressing upon them the neces- sity for speed, we pulled the reel into the street, where we were joined by three other so-called firemen. When we got to the f ire a whole row of frame stores had already been con- sumed, and the fire, which had crossed the street, was slowly but steadily eat- ing its way into the residential section, leaving behind it a mass of smouldering ashes. The volunteer bucket brigade had been working for some time, but it took so much time to pump a bucket of water from the well that nothing was accom- plished towards stopping the onward rush of the flames. Everywhere was the pain of some suf- ferer made known by a scream or by a heart-rending groan; everywhere were people weeping over the loss of their houses ; everywhere were people francti- cally shouting prayers over the body of some dear friend near the point of death; and everywhere were the streets strewn with furniture of every description. At the corner of Deer Park Avenue and Main Street a woman staggered to an upstairs window, dropped her already dead baby into the arms of a fireman and fell back, overcome by the dense black smoke and flames. A horse, with his body badly burned, ran for perhaps his last time down Main Street, neigh- ing madly, his pain and fear plainly visi- ble in his bulging eyes. Somewhere a dog went mad, starting a panic am ong the already crazed people. Everywhere someone was shouting orders, no one knowing what he meant, or who was giving them—at least I didn’t. About this time I happened to think o1 my boarding house, and, looking across the street, saw something that made me turn white. The house was almost at the point of collapsing when my board- ing mistress, who, with her pretty daugh- ter, had been screaming for help, jumped, landing on the sidewalk below—dead.

H. Water Graves, “15. gee fp ES See ae) This department, started last year, is to be enlarged this year. Though still under the same heading, it is to be divided into three sections: Mail Bag, Question Box, and Critical Criticisms. The first of these will receive all let- fers commenting upon anything in con- nection with Eastern. But, because of lack of space, these letters must be lim- ited to about seventy-five words. The “Question Box” is just what its name suggests. Anyone who is in doubt about anything around the school should write his or her question on a piece of paper and either drop it into Tar East- ERNER box at the end of the lower corri- dor, or give it to one of the Critical Com- ment editors. The questions will be put in the paper in the following issue with as intelligent an answer as possible. We hope that there will be no hesitation on the part of any of the pupils to ask any questions about which he would like to know. : The “Critical Criticisms” branch is written by the editors of the department. In it will be found criticisms of any kind, both good and bad. = Critical Comment © IN THE CORRIDORS. eins During the five-minute period between classes the pupils must pass from one room to the other. They cannot help making some noise, but it 1s wholly un- necessary to linger in the corridors tall- ing to friends, and thus hindering others from going on their way. See to it that you are not one of those who must be told to “move on.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL. Why don’t the girls play basketball? Phat is a question which has been asked many times this year. Few know the real reason. Instead of trying to find out the “whys and the wherefores” of the thing, the majority of the girls con- tent themselves with grumbling about its unfairness. ‘The real cause of there being no girls’ basketball goes back to the girls themselves. Their interest is fluctuating. They do not assume the proper responsibilty. Girls, if you want basketball you have to support it. And if you really are determined to support it, you will have it. Owing to the good reputation we have gained for ourselves in dramatics, we feel, in duty bound, to do as well this year, if not better, than heretofore. We hope to take a great stride forward in this activity, and from the number of inquiries regarding the dramatic club it is evident that an unequaled interest is to be taken. All who attend the meet- ings find great pleasure in the plays pre- sented, which are helpful as well as en- tertaining. There is a committee appointed to ar- range the program meetings. Last year the program committee was certainly an excellent one. It presented several pantomimes, which were very clever and greatly enjoyed. Among the plays given, “Priscilla, Myles and John,” and scenes To the Editor of the Critical Comment Department: So far this year we have had several days when it has been rainy at noon, and many when it has been very disagreeable. On each of these we have had fond hopes of the drill hall being opened for danc- ing. But so far our hopes have not been realized. Last year the drill hall was opened every rainy day, and all enjoyed their noon recesses. This year rainy noons have been a period of unpleasantness. This could all from “Henry V,” “The Taming of the Shrew,” and “She Stoops to Conquer,” without a doubt, were well presented. And those who saw, “A Knight of Ar- thur’s Court,” our spring play, need not be told of its success. Although these were presented in the best way possible, the dramatic society last year felt that it did not accomplish the work it wished to. Probably the greatest reason for this was that the members of the lower classes did not take the right kind of interest. Not only do the members of the so- ciety have the privilege of seeing these plays, but also the opportunity of listen- ing to many interesting talks. By the payment of the small fee of ten cents one can become a member of this society. CRITICAL COMMENT -— Continued from page 18. be changed by the opening of the DRILL HALL DOOR, SCHOOL PRIDE. Boys, where is your school pride? Do you think it adds to the good appear- ance of Eastern to see chalk lying on the floor, or to see eraser marks on the black- board and furniture? No, of course you don’t, and neither do our visitors. So now, boys, use the chalk and erasers as they are meant to be used, and not as ammunition.

Had it not been for the timely arrival of Mr. Colonel, Miss Gunther and Miss Wilkins (who with huge pitchforks, induced the creature to return), Eastern might have suffered a great loss in the form of the time-hon- | ored Clerk.

The color is unmistakably green and of a hue pe- culiar to Freshmen. The Freshmen of last year received no such welcome, but had to sit at the tables and lose pens, Papers, erasers, etc, under the ragged edges of the felt while trying to fasten attention on Latin and other classical stuff. Also, for your convenience she has a clock. Now this clock is “like unto no other in the land.” If you will watch it carefully, you will notice that it has a system of striking the hours all of its own, and it cannot he persuaded or commanded to do otherwise. Miss Boyd has tried to explain to it that a well behaved clock should act like a gen- tleman and not be so provoking. One of its tricks is to strike any number on any hour whatever. For instance, at four o'clock it will strike nine, and at twelye o'clock it will strike two. As Miss Boyd says, “If it is nine at four o'clock, and two at twelve o'clock, what will it be at half-past two?” Miss Boyd seems to be partial to that clock, for she spends the most of her time on a ladder, pleading with it to act sensibly. One would think that the clock would repent and do better, be- cause every day it sees unruly boys sent up to the office.

There were thirty students to offer their services to prospects for a the school, and among these were only three veterans.

This year we have something that we have never had before: a freshmen team. It is a known fact that a fresh- man cannot play on a varsity team until his second semester. Now in order to Jet the new fellows learn something of the game and help the school at the same time, a freshman team has been formed. It will be coached by “Bill McCaffrey and will scrimmage against the varsity twice a week, thereby helping greatly to get the first team into shape Mr. Kimble, the new faculty athletic instructor, is an excellent man and a good coach. He is what the boys call’ “a good fellow.” I am sure that we all wish him a great success at Eastern. The candidates for the varsity team are: R. Clark (Capt.), G. Ellis (Mgr), Dyer, J. Baldwin, Goebel, Fisher, Lana- han, Steltz, Boteler, D. Gates, J. Thor- nett, Flaherty, Whalen, Garmen, Gwinn, Jonscher, McElhannon, Ledoux, Maier, Roddy, Speer, Knapp, Janezeck, Horn, H. Hill, Turpin, Walsh, Brown, E. Burns, R. Baldwin, Barr, H. Graves, Hunt, Fes- senden, and Dade. Eastern played a practice game with St. Albans, Friday, Oct. 9th. Although gaining three yards to St. Albans’ one, Ksastern lost, on account of fumbles. The score was 12 to 0. Those who took part were: Ends, Mc- Elhannon and ‘Thornett; tackles, Gwinn and Ledoux; guards, Maier and Knapp; center, Graves ; full back, Clark (Capt.) ; half backs, Goebel and Dyer; quarter- back, Baldwin. Another practice game was played with Army Navy Preps on Oct. 16, East- ern winning 13 to 0. ‘Those who played were: Ends, McElhannon and Thornett; tackles, Gwinn and Ledoux; guards, Maier and Knapp; center, Graves; full back, Brown; halves, Goebel and Dyer; quarter, Baldwin. Substitutions, Clark for Brown. The schedule for the rest of the year is as follows: Oct. 28. Georgetown Preps. 30, Wester: Noy. 10. Business. � 20. Central. 21. Charlotte Hall. Eastern lost the first game of the scholastic season to Tech, 13-0. The in- experience and lightness of the team gave Tech a decided advantage, by which, however, they did not seem to profit. Coach Hart, of ‘lech, was quoted, after the game, as saying something to the ef- fect, “That Tech should have scored four or five touchdowns more.” This in it- self is a splendid tribute to the gameness and pluck of the Capitol Hill boys. They fought hard all the way, This is shown in the fact that they held Tech for downs three times when only a short run would have put the ball over. ‘The lineup and summary follow : Eastern: Tech: Thornett. coclks Diseiy oy son plete Giitititeceence Tip poccersvesisws Young Knapp see = Lake Girt +...

From an Alumnus of 1914: “The only thing which one can bring away from a school is good preparation. I am glad for the splendid preparation I received at Eastern. It certainly has been a help. Eastern is a great school and gives a fine foundation to all who care to work for it. That is the thing to be proud of and to judge a school by, without summing up school activities.” WHAT THE CLASS OF ’14 ARE DOING.

A “General” Subject Our Autumn and Winter offerings in Haberdashery are now completely mobilized, and full lines of hats, shirts, cravats, half-hose and under- wear are at the front.

It can readily be seen then that everything was planned with convenience, cleanliness, and economy of space as the supreme object. All of the apparatus is so placed that in the process of mixing and freezing, the cream passes from one machine to another in the most expeditious and sanitary, manner. When the cream arrives from country it is tested to determine, first, whether it contains the amount of but- ter-fat required by law and, second, whether is contains any harmful bacteria. It is then pasteurized, which kills all harmful bacteria Then it is put into large, sterilized milk cans and placed in a room, the walls of which are always covered with ice When it has cooled to the temperature of this room, it is ready for use. From here it is taken to the adjoining room where it is put into the mixing vats. The inside of these vats is made of pure German Silver. The reason for using pure German Silver is, that it is one of the least soluble metals and forms no harmful compounds with any of the ingredients used. The flavor- the ing material and the sugar are put into the vats with the cream and the whole js thoroughly mixed by large paddles which revolve in the vats. When the ingred- ients are thoroughly mixed a valve at the bottom of the vat is opened and the mixture passes through a sanitary pipe into the freezers, which are in a room directly beneath. ‘The freezers, which consist of a cylinder of pure German Silver surrounded by a jacket through which a very cold brine is continually circulating, are so constructed that the process of freezing may be watched, When the freezing mixture has arrived at a certain stage, it is drawn off into the sterilized cans in which it is distri- buted. These cans are then placed in a room, the temperature of which is even colder than that in which the cream is kept. Here it is frozen solid and is then ready for delivery. This process is car- ried out in such a clean and sanitary way that it is really a pleasure to watch the manufacture of ice-cream in an estab- lishment such as the Chapin-Sacks Manu- facturing Company, And if you go to inspect the building, you will be able to understand for yourself why the “Vel- vet Kind” has gained its great popularity, for PURITY and wholesomeness. Visi- tors are welcome at the plant at all times. GET YOUR Buns, Doughnuts, Cakes, etc., at M.A. ELLIOTT’S Just Across the Street 317 Seventh St. S. E.
