(BRENTANO BUILDING) This school was established to furnish the people of Washington a first-class up- to-date business school. That the objects of the management have been attained to a marked degree is evidenced by the rapid growth of the school from the first. Almost every well-informed person in Washington has formed the opinion that Steward's is the best business school in the city. We teach three systems of Shorthand, Modern Pitmanic, Pitman-Barnes and Gregg. We are prepared to take beginners or advanced pupils in each of the three sys- tems because we have a specialist at the head of each department All agree that Steward’s is the most beautiful school in Washington.

Here's to the faculty, one and all, From “Mac” in the office, to Dr. Small. Here's to their patience with our mis- deeds, And their willingness, always, to help our needs. Here’s to their kindness in calming our fears. As we've “passed” the milestones of these school years. Each “passing” moment much happiness brought. And we'll try to remember the things they've taught. They weep with our sorrows, and laugh with our joys, And they’re dear to the hearts of the girls and boys. They do everything to brighten our ways, And force us even to their “matinees.” So here’s to the faculty, each one’s a friend, May everything good be theirs to the end, And may they each one, e’er much time goes by, Be teaching a class in a new Eastern High. THE EASTERNER ret The Senior Class When we first to this hig! schcol came The teachers knew not of our fame, But e’re we'd long been with them here, They said with joy that we were “dear.” And now, to think that we must leave. Oh! teachers, do not thusly griev, For, though it must your sad hearts rend, As you know, good things must erd. 1 Ginpert CHurcn Crark. “Gillie” Colonel of Cadets; President of Class; Bank; Glee Club; Spring Play. “Gillie here, Gillie there, Gillie over the water. Gillie’s got the prettiest girl of Mrs. (who can fill the blank?) daughters.” Like many other noted Easternites, Gillie re- mained socially dormant until his senior year, but he surely blossomed forth in full glory during that period of his career. His favorite pastime is discoursing with Miss McColm on the all-important subject: “Did Wordsworth think as a poet, when a child, or did he not?” We are pleased to inform the knowledge-cray- ing public that his volume on this subject has gone to press. (Heaven grant that it will be completely pressed.) Gillie intends to go to Annapolis next year. 2 LAsatia Leona McCarrrey. “Mac” of Class; Camp Fire. Vice-President Easterner Staff ; “Mac” is one of the most popular girls at school. She has a sunny smile and a cheery “Greetings” for every one she meets. She was chosen vice-president of our class and has cer- tainly made a splendid one. Lasalia is also on the “Staff,” the Athletic Council, and is a member of Camp Fire “Desire.” This young lady is a fine tennis player, and has actually been known to shoot a goal in basket-ball. And the memory of us will ever be, A ray of comfort left for thee: For classes may come and classes may go, But there'll ne’er be another ‘15, you know. So as we leave on our chosen ways, The memory of our high school days, And the help and advice of our teachers there, Will help us the burdens of life to bear. Marvelous? Not at all—that’s “Mac.” La- salia expects to go to Barnard or George Washington University next year. Good luck to you, “Mac.” 3 Lity Maupe Rirenor. Honor Student; Secretary of Class; Philolo- gian; Easterner Staff; Friendship Club. This is the little lady who has delighted her teachers with perfect recitations ever since she has been here. And she is so familiar with first honors that she would feel unnatural without them. She was one of the founders of the famous Library company, “Appold, Ritenour Roetschi,” the good results of which are so noticeable in English. Lillie is very fond of Zoology, for that is the study which teaches her all about the Lyon, her favorite animal. But it is in shorthand that she shines brightest, and next year she will bring joy into some office, for she is “The girl worth while, The one with a smile, When everything goes dead wrong.” 4 Nicn or Main SANpie. Treasurer Class 15; Asst. Stage Mgr.; Spring Play; Cashier of Bank. “Cutie’—Who is that cute little fellow? Why, that is Main Sandoe. Main is some ath- lete. He plays tennis every Saturday morn- ing. He said that he is sorry Wilding was killed in the war, for now he will get the world’s championship without half trying. THE EASTERNER 13 Main intends to go to Dartmouth where he will study Civil Engineering if he can forget “K” long enough. Just the opposite from “Doe” previously mentioned. Instead of try- ing to support bridges, he will try to support a wife, Well, we wish him luck, anyway. Any one who has the pleasure of knowing him will say that he is sure to be successful if the work he has done at school counts for any- thing. 5 Raymonxn Crurcn Crark. “Ray” Captain Football; Captain Track; Basket-ball; Cadets; Rifle Club; Athletic Council; Spring Play, 1415; Stage Manager 4-15; Chairman Pin Committee; Speaker to Undergraduates. Yes, we call him “Ray,” for he certainly is a shining light, penetrating everywhere. But who does not know Ray and his policy: “Never let studies interfere with your High School Course.” But nevertheless he man- ages to keep ahead in his studies regardless of this philosophy. Ray is one of the best ath- letes, stage managers, actors and seamen (skippers) ever known at Eastern. (Keep it dark.) He can steer through the most dread- ful collisions, and not be upset. But seri- ously, Ray has done more than his share to- ward upholding Eastern’s name and honor. His excellent athletic work, unequaled work in Dramatics, and obliging personality are too well known to mention. Ray expects to join his old friends at Cornell next year. We are positive that his engaging personality anc versatility will bring him friends and success. 6 Henry Watter Graves. “Waller.” Cadets; Bank; Dramatics; Business Manager Easterner. Walter Graves? Who’s he? O, yes, he’s that very good looking kid with the lock of hair down over his eyes. Say, who cultivates that lock of hair for him? Who? O-h'm, I see. Well, he looks like a serious fellow. Looks as if he might be good in school. I don’t suppose he’s a ladies’ man, is he? No? That’s good. I see that he’s First Lieutenant of “F,” Vice-President of the Bank, Business Manager of the Easterner, and—is that all? Well, he takes an interest in school activities all right. That looks good for his future school life. They say he’s going to Carnegie Tech. It’s a safe bet that he will make good. He’s popular with the students and faculty alike, here, and if, when he gets to Carnegie Tech, he shows as much interest in his books as he does now in girls—pardon me, girl—he certainly will make good. 7 Lua Marcetta CooK. “Cookie.” Philologian; Press Club; Honor Debater; Editor-in-chief of the Easterner; Director of the Bank; Spring Play 14; Honor Student; Friendship Club. Won't the corridors have a vacant look when Marcella ceases to trot their length and breadth? Joking aside, Marcella is the busiest and most efficient gir! at Eastern. The school owes her a vote of thanks for her untiring work on “The Easterner” this year. Surely no boy of previous classes made a better edi- tor-in-chief than our giri of ‘15. During her four years’ sojourn at Eastern, Marcella has served as President of the Philologian Society, Vice-President of the Press Club, and has been an honor student. She has participated in a Spring and Christmas Play and has been an active member of the Program Committee. We all wish Marcella success in whatever ca- reer she decides to follow in years to come. 8 JosepHINe Marie W4aicHrT. “Jo” Philologian; Dramatic; Easterner Staff; Friendship Club. Yes, Jo is that vivacious little lady with the ever-ready joke. She is the shark of the senior German Class, and has saved the day many times for her grateful fellow-students. Those who saw her as Blanche Bailey in the Spring Play realize her genius as an actress, and we hope she proves as efficient a sten- ographer as she did leading lady. Jo is always ready to help when she can, and she is not only a favorite with the students, but also with her teachers. She is one of our “little girls,” THE EASTERNER 15 but you know, “the best things come in small packages.” 9 Harry Lewis Batpwin. Captain Co. F; Rifle Club; Honor Student. Harry Baldwin is that good looking little fellow who could be seen on Mondays and Thursdays, leading Co. F in the fight for the flag. Baldwin received honors three years in succession, thus assuring himself a place in Eastern’s hall of fame. He is very much in- terested in Astronomy, Engineering, Physics, Math, Chemistry, and several other subjects which lead to Knowledge. “Poor Richard’ is his constant companion—no, not Richard, either; Dick. Baldwin is the chess and check- er shark of the school. His manager is said to be negotiating for a match with Capablanca or Marshall. Baldwin will probably attend George Washington next year. 10 Vietta Marr Droney. “Vie” President of -Dramatics; Class Historian; Spring Play ‘14; Camp Fire Yes, that’s “Vie,” that tall, good-looking girl with brown curls and big bright eyes. She has done wonderful work for the Dramatic So- ciety. When a Junior she played the part of Guinivere. This year she was President of the Society and a better President can't be found. Helping write every p!ay and in every line of dramatic endeavor, Vietta showed the school what great work the dramatic presi- dent should do, She is also a member of Toc Waugh Camp Fire, Vietta expects to attend Wilson Normal next year. We know her winning disposition will help to make her a success. 11 Worven Pore Dyer. Captain Baseball 13-1415; Pin Committee; Football; Basketball. Dyer is Eastern’s wonderful athletic star. Now, judge for yourself! What would you think of a fellow who has been baseball cap- tain the last three years, basketball captain this year, who has also played on the football team and has done all these things well? Be- sides taking a part in athletics, Dyer was a member of the Pin Committee. Moreover, he is a wonderful “math shark.” Why, he could make Mr. Wallis believe a circle was a square (almost). Eastern is very proud of Dyer and is sad at the thought of losing him. 12 Marcaret Garrett AprotD. Friendship Club. We cannot think of Margaret unless we are reminded of her happy, musical laugh. She is always “Contented wi’ Little and Cantie wi’ Mair.” Margaret is a faithful Sunday School pupil, and is very fond of studying the differ- ent Bible characters, her favorite one being that of Joseph. Her favorite pastime is study- ing at the Congressional Library. A fter tak- ing a course at Normal School she expects to enter college. We do not know what she is going to do there, but we imagine she will take a domestic science course. Good luck to you, Margaret. 13 Marian Esity Asmpy. Yes, this little lady with the pretty hazel eyes is the all important little Marion. Though she chose to leave her beloved section, 13A, to tread the lonely P. G. road without her, we forgive her. She foresaw that the poor neglected little children of the graded schools needed her care, more than we needed her gay little self. This litt'e lady has always kept us well educated in the “Styles for the Coming Week,” not to mention the art of hair-dressing she possesses. Although Marion intends go- ing through Normal, we have our doubts about her finishing, for seldom do such fascinating young ladies reach the teaching goal. 14 Ruta Lapor Batt. “Rufus.” Camp Fire; Philologian; Prophetess. “Rufus” is sure to be around when there is any fun. In fact, she is so full of fun her- self that no party or picnic is complete without her. Ruth also has rare acting abilities which were shown by her portrayal of Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet.” Ruth is especially fond of old ladies and babies. This probably .ac- counts for the fact that she expects to become a trained nurse. She will begin her course next fall at Johns Hopkins. Ruth belongs to Camp Desire and is the only pupil of Eastern THE EASFERNER 17 who has attained the Torch Bearer Degree. She is a member of the Philologian, too. Sec- tion 12B3 is fortunate in having Ruth for their prophet. 15 Euizanern BaLpwin, “Betty.” Glee Club. “Betty” is the girl who was characterized as romantic and egotist ical. Now we steadfastly affirm that she is not egotistical, but we must confess she is romantic, Her highest ambition is to study music. She is an accomplished musician already, who, we believe, will rival Geraldine Farrar in a few years. Aside from this, she still finds time to rave over her “pet” subject—senior English. cess, “Betty.” We wish you suc- 16 Rurn Bert. Philologian;- Camp Fire; Easterner Staff; Friendship Club. Ruth is one of those reliable bodies who is the delight of a!l who know her. If material is due on a certain date, hers is the first to come in; if something particularly hard or per- plexing is to be done in Camp Fire or Philolo- gian, Ruth is selected for that work. Ruth’s special hobby is American history, and she has made a success of her hobby. Next year Ruth will go to Normal where she will continue her good work. 7 Marcaret Karr Bevermce. Philologian. Margaret is one of the most industrious girls of her class. Good in all of her studies, she shines particularly in Senior English, where her talks on Burns and Scotland have been the joy of her classmates. Margaret is fond of doing helpful things for every one. That is why she invented her spe cial method of preparing “Wilhelm Tell.” Although Herr Spanhoofd may not know it, this method is being used by half the class. (It isn’t the pony method, either.) Margaret is a cheerful body and just the one to go to when you're “down in the dumps.” Margaret's great ambi- tion is to become a teacher, and to that end she is going to Normal next year. 18 Howarp Extiot America, “Buck,” Bank; Cadets. “Buck” America is one of those fairly quiet fellows who has never created any great furor at school, but who has been doing things just the same. America is the shorthand expert of the school. He is also a Geometry star. But for all his brilliancy in school he is a firm believer in manly sports. The only reason he failed to make the baseball team is that he didn’t go out claiming to be too good for it. Next year America will either accept the po- sition of stenographer to the President, or continue his work at a business college. 19 Francis Persia Biatr. Camp Fire. Frances’ strong points are breaking records in shorthand and typewriting and taking Dr. Small’s dictation. So good is she in shorthand that-whenever any one “gets stuck” on an out- line, that person is told to “ask Frances,” and his troubles are over. Frances loves to type- write, and can be seen at all hours of the day tapping the keys. However, typewriting isn’t Frances’ only delight. Fourth year German is full of joys for her. We have even heard that “Wilhelm Tell” is her favorite piece of literature. Next year Frances will probably lighten the burdens in some business office. 20 Ricomonp JAMes Becx. Beck first came to Eastern some few years ago, and after staying with us awhile, left in a moment of thoughtlessness and went to Central. One year away from these halls of learning was enough, however, and he r e- turned repenting his folly in sack-cloth and ashes. Beck has the distinction of having broken more feminine hearts than any one else in school, but of late he has not lived up to his reputation. He has joined the ranks of grass-widowers—his “only one” having left Eastern for the Cathedral School—and is try- ing to forgive and forget by shining in Latin and other kindred subjects. 21 Jane Marcaret Breen. “Janie.” Camp Fire. Jane is one of 15's “tiny little tots,” and has the distinction of being the “littlest senior.” THE BASTERNER 18 le things who spry litt 5 % of those sP' oon don't be But she is one Bele ee a noon, or ask sce are i oom 1 aes: lieve it, just go into Camp Fire.

Dramatics. Chris is an actress, stenographer, oe writer, and a brilliant “dutch student. es has many other splendid accomplishments, : shines most before the footlights. Meta ° our delight, she was leading lady in “How a Woman Keeps a Secret.” One other feature about Chris is her lovely blush. How we watch the color mount to her forehead when called on in German. She is scheduled to graduate in June, after which she expects to join her family in Connecticut. If you seek knowledge concerning _ her future—well— glance at her slender third finger. 23 Marcurite Erzier CAMPBELL. “Midge.” Friendship Club. “Midge.” as her name suggests, is one of our smallest members, but here as always quality counts. Midge, esteemed and loved by all of us, has acquired a reputation here at Eastern which will always be remembered. Have you not heard of her remarkable type- writing speed? She writes more words per minute than any of the other “key rattlers.” Midge’s favorite pastime is eating pie, but she is also fond of “Beveridges.” She is a wonder at the piano ivories as well as type- writing keys. Midge expects to attend a busi- ness school next winter, and we wish her suc- cess. 24 Joun Freverick BurHier. “Bunny.” “Bunny” is Mac’s standby. If it were not for Bunny’s ever helpful hand, ever rea dy smile, and good humor, Mac would have to close the office. Eyen Mr. Catella noticed Bunny's efficiency, so he tried to get hin a give his services to the bank. (For partees Jars as to how he succeeded you might ak Bunny.) Bunny is another of those fourth year German. stars, and he’s one of My Schwartz's pets. At least we should judge a for Mr. Schwartz asks him to sit Henk hig desk so often. There aren't many who can boast such a distinction. 95 GENEVIEVE CHAPIN. “Chapie.” Every morning “Chapie” makes that long and perilous journey from Falls Church to Eastern. She has a reserved seat on the 5:15 and woe be to the person who causes her to miss the special. ‘“‘Chapie” is a Virginian through and through, and can make any one side With the Southerners. Genevieve’s strong Doints are English and historical biography. Miss Bucknam will have another name to put Be her reference list when Chapie’s “Career of Teddy” is published. Genevieve expects to become a stenographer, and we feel she will make a good one. 26 ELEANOR ParKE Custis, “Elay.” Camp Fire; Easterner Staff. Eleanor is our artist and Miss Van Doren’s pride and comfort. Lately she won the first prize in the Raphael Tuck Contest. Can you beat that? Eleanor has attained the rank of “fire-maker” in Camp Fire. Besides this, she is a member of the “Staff.” So you see, when it comes to doing things at Eastern, Elay is right there. Eleanor has given up her p of writing a work of many volumes on Benefits Derived from the Study of the Class- ics,” and is going next year to an art school where we know she will make a name for herself. plan “The 27 Run Eveanor Dick, Dramatics. Ruth has made many friends during her high school life. She is one of those happy- go-lucky people always ready for a prank, None of us can recall a single dull moment of her career at Eastern. She has completed the course in three and one-half years. She has been a member of the Dramatic Society THE EASTERNER 19 and had a part in the Christmas play. She was one of the first members of the Girls’ Glee Club, and a member of the Debating Society. Eastern will miss her constant delight in teas- ing her friends, We wish her a jolly time at Normal. 28 Hazen Eucene Core. “Gene.” “Little Eugene Cole Was a merry young soul, And a merry young soul was he. He loved his Math., And he loved his French, And he doted on Geometry.” This explains his jolly disposition. He hated to study and consequently he never did. There- fore, with a clear conscience he’s frisked around all day long from 1911 to 1915. 29 Mauve E1izasera Dovuctas. Camp Fire. Maude “studied” for three years at East- ern, and then at the beginning of her senior year went to Tech, but came back again to “Dear Old Eastern” to get her diploma. It is simply impossible for her to stay away from E. H. S. Maude is one of the very enthu- siastic Camp Fire girls. Everything that Toc Waugh Camp gives, Maude is sure to take part in. When it comes to hiking, and cooking Camp Fire dinners, Maude is the leader. Maude intends to go to Cornell next year, where she will study, as only Maude can. 30 Epwarp Younc Davinson, Jr. “Doc.” Basketball; Baseball; Track ; Rifle Team. “Doe” is conspicuous as the original woman hater, He thinks that if he even so much as looks at a girl the very heavens themselves would fall. He is also noted for his learned arguments. We hear that he is writing a book treating on the mistakes in our school system and misstatements in our text books. He is a man of moods. When not in an argument with Mr, Wallis he is laughing at one of Gwin's jokes. (Gwin only tells them to “Doe” because “Doc” is the only one who will laugh at them.) He intends to enter Carnegie Tech next year where he will learn to doctor sick buildings and cure weak railroad systems. He will also learn to support bridges, but we would like to bet that he will never try to support a wife. All joking aside, “Doc” is a fine fellow, bright in his studies, and well liked by both the faculty and student body. We are sure that no matter what he does, he will re- flect great credit upon the school and upon himself. 31 Dorotuy Anetta Dryer. Camp Fire. This dark haired young lady is another one of Mr. Catella’s star pupils. Her hobby is tak- ing speed tests and doing “extra work.” Dorothy is an enthusiastic German student, in fact, she liked the subject so well that. she took it four years. English is another of her favorites, especially the preparation of maga- zine topics. Dorothy is a member of the Toc Waugh Camp Fire, and one of its best work- ers. Dorothy says she is going to Normal next year and become a teacher, but from all we've heard, we would suggest that she should go to a domestic science school instead. 32 Netita Apeiame Dwyer. Dramatics. Here is our only Marathon racer who has really made a commendable record in her par- ticular line of endeavor. Two days out of five she slides through the doorway of Room 13 just as Mac rings the tardy bell. The less said about the other three days the better. Laide's strong points are arguing in English and doing fancy stunts in the gym. Next year she expects to attend Wilson Normal. Those who had the pleasure of seeing her interpreta tion of Mrs. Candor last winter will realize what a delightful teacher she will be. 33 ELeaNore Attison EARNSHAW. “Nona.” Philologian; Camp Fire; Dramatics; Girls’ Basket Bail. Looks as is she were popular, doesn’t it? Well, that is just what she is. Eleanor is one of the favored girls of Eastern who is well liked by every one. She is a star in all her subjects, especially English and Latin. When in doubt about anything ask Eleanor: she is sure to know. She is trying for a scholarship in George Washington and we are sure she THE 20 will succeed, for what dertakes she comes pretty ne ever she finishes her education credit to the school.

Philologian; Dramatics; Camp Fire; Pin Committee. Virginia has taken part in many of the school activities. She was a member of the Pin Committee, and took an active interest n the Pholologian and Camp Fire Societies. But with all her outside duties, she has been an honor student all four years. Virginia has a very roaming disposition. Sometimes the beautiful green trees and a glass of soda have served as enticements to draw her out of school. She is going to try Goucher next year and will join her old “pal,” Marion Norris, there. We all know Virginia’s cheerful dis- position will bring her success wherever she goes. 36 Grace Vivian Freep. Dramatics; Philologian; Friendship Club. We never see Vivian without a smile. The only way we can account for this is that she is so happy to be in school. She is always sorry when holidays begin and happy when they are over. Vivian is an excellent shorthand stu- dent. This is shown by the fact that she does much of Dr. Small’s work. Nor is shorthand the only thing in which she shines, for she is Mr. Catella’s typewriting pupil. Being fond of zoology, she finds great pleasure in the study of birds, especially their Bills. Vivian is EASTERNER going to take a business course after leaving Eastern. Lovist JOHANNA GERHARD, “Crazy.” p Fire; Girls’ Basket Ball, 37 Cam “Crazy” is one of those witty girls who en- ters right into your heart as soon as you meet her, She always has a remark to suit the oc. casion. In the gymnasium it is always Louise who leads the other girls on. In fact, when- ever she is in the party a good time is guaran- teed: She is a regular clown for the Camp Fire girls, and is the joy of all their trips. We fear that one of the movie actors, “Sweedie,” has used our Louise as a model. “Crazy” ex- pects to attend a business college next year and thus begin her career as a model sten- ographer. 38 Anna Marinpa Hacan. Dramatics. Do we know her? Well, I guess! She's the little girl with the rosy cheeks and the “smile that won’t come off.” Anna is always ready with a joke, yet always anxious to help a classmate out of a difficulty. Anna hails from the beautiful suburb, Anacostia, and even though she has a long journey to school, she arrives in perpetual good humor. This popu- lar young lady is fond of sports, and thinks the outfield the best place on the ball team, (We wonder why?) We sympathize with her when she says, “I expect to go to Normal, but I hope I won't.” 39 Marjorie Liry Hates. “Marj.” Prophetess; Dramatics; Easterner Staff; Phi- lologian; Camp Fire; Press Club. You know Marj, don’t you? O, sure you do. The Phililogian, the Press Club, the Dra- matic Club, the Camp Fire and Easterner Staff have all heard Marjie’s contagious laugh- ter and have missed her volley of words when she failed to appear. This versatile friend of ours has even been an honor student while at Eastern. For generosity Marj cannot be ex- celled. Why, she has even promised to tell some of our futures class night. She cannot decide whether to join the ranks of school teachers or pharmacists, but whatever her THE EASTERNER 21 choice ultimately, we know that she will be one grand success. 40 Marte Evtanor Harvy. “M ree.” Camp Fire. Marie is the young lady with the auburn curls, for whom every day is “Sundae.” Ma- rié’s favorite pastimes are camp-firing and eat- ing sundaes. Marie is a stenographer and typewriting shark! Didn't she leave her dear- ly beloved class because the business world could not get along without her? Didn't Mr. Catella weep tears of sorrow at the loss ofa star pupil? What more is needed as convinc- ing proof of her unusual abilities? Marie made many friends while at Eastern, and we all wish her success in her chorus work. 41 Everyn Marcaret Hicks. : “Hickie.” Little (?) Hickie is a jewel. She wears the smile that won't come off and is always try- ing to make everybody happy. She works with such rapidity in the drawing room that she keeps Miss Van Doren busy finding work for her to do. Evelyn has a very sympathetic nature. She even feels sorry for the “Door little cats” that have to sleep out in the cold on winter nights. After finishing a course at Normal School, Evelyn wishes to study medi- cine. Some day we shall hear of the famous Dr. Hicks who graduated from Eastern in 1915. 42 Hazer, Dororuy Hucues. Pin Committee. Oh, yes, Hazel is the young lady with the auburn (?) hair, whose favorite expression, “I can’t be bothered,” shows her attitude toward life in general. This last does not apply to Math., however, for she has faithfully clung to this during almost all of her career at Eastern, relinquishing it only at the assurance of Mr. Kimball that he could teach her no more. Nevertheless, Hazel has had time to make many good friends here, and we are sure she will be greatly missed when she leaves these halls and enters upon her career at Normal. 43 Grorce Stoucuton Exuis. “Bill” Manager Football; Manager Baseball; Dra- matics. Bill Ellis is absolutely and positively the only one of his kind. He dances like unto no other, and he sneezes ditto. We all remem- ber that wonderful sneeze he pulled in the “Shadow of the Glen.” Every time we think of it we quake in our boots. To the surprise of no one, and the pleasure of many, Bill was elected manager of both the football and base- ball teams. He arranged an extensive and excellent schedule for each team, Bill is one of the popular people, both with the boys and girls. There is never a social function that he does not attend. Moreover, he is always doing things for “the School.” He will join many other Eastern grads. at Dartmouth next year, and we wish him all kinds of success. 4 Marian VircintA HuMMER. Camp Fire. Marian is known by her favorite expression, “Ain't it dumb,” while her taste in food is along the olive and pickle line. She is per- fectly happy if she can have a nice sour pickle, but we are glad to say her disposition is anything but sour. She is a quiet little miss, who informs us of her presence only by her charming giggle. Marian belongs to Camp Desire and has attained the Fire Maker's de- gree. She expects to attend Randolph-Macon next year, and we all wish her success in her studies there. 45 Miner Sears ELuis. Dramatics. Miner's an actor, there’s no doubt about it. He is certainly gifted by the gods. And when it comes to presenting real plays, he’s un- equalled. Miner is an excellent dancer, too. He always has a new step to show some one and he doesn’t mind showing it, either. His perfect manners and winning ways have won him hosts of friends. But Miner is not merely a society man by any means. He is a con- scientious, hard working fellow. And what- ever he undertakes to do, he does, ’cept the Math, and that wasn’t his fault. Nevertheless, it is this trait in Miner that is going to make a glorious future for him.

On camp fire trips Mary always carried off the prize for voice power, ; Next year this young prodigy expects to at- tend a Business College, put secretly admits that she would much prefer to become a fire man—or should we say fire lady—in some such establishment. 48 Loventa TouseND JACOBS. “Jake.” of Glee Club; Easterner Staff: What will Eastern do next year without Louella? It is hard to tell, Miss Van Doren will miss her more than any one, for Louella has been her chief standby ever since she has been at Eastern. Whenever there are any posters to be made, or in fact, anything in the artistic line, Louella is always busy. The beauty of it is, she is always willing. It is her contributions to the Easterner, both to the Scareheads and Locals, that helped make the editions successful. Louella expects to attend Normal next year, and after that she will specialize in drawing and music. In whatever she attempts, we wish her all the success pos- sible. AT Fire girl! After Honorary Member 49 Herrert STANLEY FEsSENDEN. “Hubby.” Manager Basket Ball; Cadets. “Hubby.” His nick-name would better de- scribe him if we would prefix a “c.” He ts ASTERNER slightly inclined to be chubby, Despite his weight, however he skips lightly about, not to school—oh, no, far away from it. The beau- tiful spring days awaken within Hubby a de- sire to rove. He doesn’t have to own a ship to be known as a skipper. We have heard that he is trying to reduce his weight. We would like to suggest that he has adopted the wrong method of skipping. Hubby is one of those fellows who is always in a good humor. Noth- ing depressing about him. He is undecided about what he will do after leaving school, but we are sure that his golden smile will always spread joy about him. Amen. 50 Epirn JULIA Kine. We don’t hear much from “Edie,” so quiet and retiring she, but, believe us, she gets re- suits. An “EF” is quite a stranger to her. This is largely due to Miss Gardner, who realizes her unusual poetic abilities. Sometimes (not often) she “gets stubborn” and will not even write rhymes, but her good humor, which is never far beneath, soon shows itself and she keeps us laughing with her droll remarks. Her future career 1S undecided, but we know that on account of her sterling character and genial disposition she will be successful in whatever she undertakes. 51 Exsig May KiLinEHANSE. Friendship Club. Have you ever happened to be in Room 13 at lunch time and hear Elsie laugh? No mat- ter how serious the subject, no matter what the nature of it, Elsie js sure to see a chance fora joke, and she proceeds to make every one else see it. Although Elsie has never told us, we're positive that she prefers Physical Training to any other subject. Why? Because there she has an opportunity to display her dancing ability. And in that she shines. Elsie knows them all—fox-trot, waltz, fish-walk, or min- uet. Next year she is going to Normal, where we are sure she will succeed. 52 Enya Exist Lepoux. Here’s to the girl with the French name, which has been the despair of so many teach- ers and pupils. But Elva has retained her pa- tience in starting them right, even unto her senior year. All of which brings out her good THE EASTERNER 23 disposition. Elva always sees the funny point, even when it isn’t there, and her voice betrays her good humor. She is a jolly good com- panion and loyal friend. Elva expects to at- tend Normal. We are sure her pupils will never be confronted by a cross or grouchy teacher. We wish you success, Elva. 53 Cuaries Kennet Mansvy. Basket Ball; Track; Baseball, Mansuy the silent, the only imitation of the Sphinx. If the old proverb, “Silence is Gold- en,” still holds true, Mansty is a gold mine. He certainly is all right when you get to know him. He undertakes everything with an earnestness which would do credit to any one. Being a trifle light, he has had a hard time in athletics. After three years of hard work, however, he has tested success. His motto is “Don’t say what you are going to do. Do it.” He has not decided what he will do after leav- ing school, but we are sure he will be success- ful if he will only make noise enough to keep the world from running over him. 4 Dororny Lorzia Lrer. “Dot.” Dramatics. Yes, that’s Dot. Everybody knows her. She is such a shining light in German that Herr Spanhoofd calls on her every day. Dorothy's hobby is dramatics, and we think she would make a splendid actress from her work in the “Dragon Claw”; but then, when we hear her sing in the Glee Club, we think she had better become a prima donna. However, Dot hasn't planned a definite future; but if you really want to know, maybe the “colonel” would en- lighten you. 55 Crartes Granam Rice. “Blondy.” Athletic Council; Baseball; Basket Ball; Spring Play. Step this way, please. That’s Blondy, the studious chap with the scowl of wisdom on his erstwhile lovely phiz. Here at Eastern he is THE student on the masculine side of the house. When Eastern days are over, Blondy expects to spend four years at George Wash- ington, four years at the University of Paris, and then probably four years at Occoquan where he can study undisturbed. It’s a relief to say that he has made a record for himself in athletics, having played on the basket ball and baseball teams. Blondy is an all around good sport, and our well wishes follow him wherever he roams. 56 Mary Busnny McCren.anp “Little Mary” was one of our lively chil- dren. Although she was only shoulder high, yet we were always aware that Mary had her way. By studying hard, she completed the course a semester sooner, so she could graduate with the June class. Mary has al- ways taken an interest in music and for a while was a member of the Girl’s Glee Club. She was also a member of that happy bunch, the E B, and helped to provide and also eat the good things that always held such a promi- nent place at its spreads. 37 EstHer MApELINE MACK. Philologian; Friendship Club. Esther is one of our tiny little tots, but this is a case of “precious things in small pack ages.” We would not know what to do with- out her bright and shining face. All of our troubles seem to vanish when Esther ap- proaches with her hapyy smile and beautiful golden curls. She is a loyal member of the Philologian Society. Although she finds great pleasure in all her studies, biology and short- hand are her favorites. Esther expects to en- ter Normal School, and we wish her much success in her chosen work. 58 May Imocene Mann. Staff, Basketball, Philologian, and Spring Play. Yes, little May Mann was in all of them. She certainly is a nice little lady with cun- ning smiles and golden curls. She is Mr. Catella’s favorite. In one of the plays May showed us that she would make a perfect old maid. We fear, however—but now that is telling tales. May expects to go to Wilson Normal School, where she will study (maybe) to be a kindergarten teacher. This is just what May is suited for, and we wish her the best of luck. 24 THE z CeciiA MATTHEWS: “Ted.” Camp Fire. Such a long name does not fit such a A girl, so we call her “Ted. Ted is ore those generous-hearted creatures who w1 joa you whenever they can. Have you ever ; Gs : Ted pound out rag-time? No? Then you Me missed a great treat, for she is certainly gifte in the line of music. When listening to Ted you simply can't make your feet behave. She is also a gifted dancer- Ted expects to be- come a kindergarten teacher, and we are sure she will capture the hearts of the children, for she has such winning ways. 59 Teresa INE Pautine LoHMAN. Camp Fire. Pauline is the girl who didn’t discover the superiority of Eastern over other high schools until her senior year. But, although late in coming, she found a hearty welcome awaiting her. Good in all of her studies she stars par- ticularly in German. After Mr. Spanhoofd has exhausted his patience trying to get a good recitation from a class where such things are scarce he calls on “Fraulein Lohmann,” and at last gets what he wants. Pauline is a member of Camp Desire and is one of the most enthu- 60 siastic workers of that Camp Fire. Next year Pauline expects to go to Normal. 61 Dorotuy Esteve McCautey. “Dot.” Dramatics. “Dot,” the chic little fashion plate of East- ern, is thinking of joining a law firm, as her main interests are centered in that pursuit. Dorothy is a very studious person, but much of her time is spent in the office, seeking ex- cuse blanks. She has a deeply religious na- ture, as she is found every Sunday imparting her knowledge of the Scriptures to thirteen small prodigals. Her proficiency in music is shown by her interpretation of the morning hymns. However, she expects to continue her music teaching and to perfect her own talent at the Peabody Conservatory of Music at Bal- timore, EASTERNER Iva Rag Merevrt. ” Camp Fire; Girls’ Basket Ball. s Iva, that tall girl with the light curly hair. Iva is always in a good humor, She is the life of her English class, and her witty remarks afford great amusement to her classmates. She has taken a very active Part in the Camp Fire group. Wherever One sees Iva, he is sure to see ‘Crazy, for these girls are inseparable. Iva hasn't quite decided yet what she will do next year, but whatever she we are sure she will be a suc- 62 Yes, that’ attempts to do cess at it. 63 Henen Emerck MILier, For the past year Helen has been one of the happy bunch in Room 1. With the aid of her chum, Marie, she has been one of Eastern’s mischief makers, She excels in drawing, and some day we shall find her in charge of the drawing in the new Eastern, Also, she loved to work with Bugs and other “yarmints” in the Laboratory, and can inform you on any subject from the metemorphasis of a snail to raising cabbage. We don’t know what Helen intends to do next year, but we have an idea that she will impart some of this valuable information to the teachers at Normal. 64 Frora Mae PaLMEr. Dramatics. Flo—Here is the light and life of 183A, Without Flora our total number of eight would walk through the corridors of E. H. §. like a funeral procession. We feel that an in- troduction to this well-known person is un- necessary, for her piano playing during as- semblies has made her famous. Flora is very moody at times (always after a visit.to the marvelous town of Alexandria). She is very studious, so much so, that on an average of twice a week she has given us the pleasure of her company in German. Flora is loyal to her motto, “Eat, drink, and be merry.” 65 Heven Gray RANKIN. Philologian; Camp Fire. A girl with brains for two—that’s Helen. She excels in everything she undertakes, but especially in her poetry. Helen takes great THE EASTERNER 25 pleasure in putting her thoughts into verse form. What she doesn't know wouldn't fill the back of a two-cent stamp. She has never been fully appreciated—not even by her own classmates. Though she is one of the brilliant students of 13A, Helen does not spend her idle moments talking, as do must of us, Her val- uable time is spent to some great purpose. For her companions she has Virgil and Cicero, much to the delight of Miss Hawes. 66 Heten ANNA RAUCHENSTEIN. Athletic Council; Basketball. Helen is a good old scout, well liked by everybody. She is athletically inclined and has served as the third year member of the Athletic Council as well as captain of the fourth year basketball team. Helen is Miss Grosvenor’s special pet, lightening the burdens of her physical training comrades by her “would-be funny stuff.” Helen’s favorite say- ing is “the water's rough.” (Refer to Star- vation Camp.) Next year He'en expects to go to Drexel Institute, Philadelphia. Everybody has been wondering why the domestic science course, but perhaps we may suggest that IT is to learn all about—but I guess we had better not finish. 67 ANNABEL RILEY. Another bunch of foolishness like unto no other. “Pat, Jr.” has that effervescing store of fun and good humor which brings laughter from the sternest of the stern. Ex- cept when “Chem.” confronts her, she is al- ways studying out the best way to carry out some mischievous prank without being caught. The three and a half years of Annabel’s East- ern career have left us with dislocated ribs from laughing at her pranks. Another charm is her delicate appetite (?). Her motto through life should always be “Eat, drink, and be merry.” May she live up to this at the Normal next year. 68 Norman Leo Jon Roppy. “Oakum.” Baseball; Football; Basketball; Spring Play. “Qakum,” as his comrades fondly term him, is not so sleepy as his name implies; in fact, he is wide awake—sometimes. As a songster he can’t be beat. Every Tuesday we hold our breath as his melodious voice ascends to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in that captivat- ing ditty, “At the Vedding.” At noon Fer- gie’s Cabaret is the scene of great revelry when the news is passed around the Senior Oakum will favor the patrons (not saints) with a song. With the exception of these nasal outbursts, he keeps well within the bounds of law and order, Next year he in- tends to sing his way through classes at Cath- olic University—if he doesn’t sing himself into Sing Sing first. 69 Exata CATHERINE RoeTscHt. Philolagian. Emma is one of our honor students. We cannot say in what subject she excels, as she stars in all of them. Nor can we say what stibject she is most fond of, as she finds great pleasure in every branch of her work. Emma is often disgusted with her last name, but she knows how to appreciate it when there is a sitbstitute who does not call on her because her name is so hard. Emma wants to go to Germany to study music. We advise you not to go for a while yet, Emma. 70 Ermer BerNarp SCHWAB. Dramatics. Of course you know “Squab.” He is that dignified young man with the cropped hair and pocketful of Vivils. Every girl in his German class adores him because he is so liberal with his chewing gum and candy; no wonder he’s so sweet. In the ro'e of “Captain Anstruther” in the Spring Play, Schwab distinguished him- self, and the part suited him perfectly. In “Deutsch” Schwab always knows his lesson and usually translates so beautifully that he saves the day for the whole class. Schwab refuses to answer questions, but we feel sure that in whatever he undertakes he will be suc- cessful. 71 VincintA Warttiesty SARGENT. “Ginnie.” Virginia is the girl who has made such a record winning prizes from the Humane So- ciety.” Virginia’s pet theme is “Kindness to Animals,” and she can write compositions on this theme which melt the hardest of hard hearts. However. Ginnie doesn’t devote all of TH 26 She Is very fond of ime pject- 2 her time to one sub) se hrghtest raat tudies, being one of ‘15 Zoology and botany ar er prime favorites in gy and bot y are h a i lesst ine 2 in these she 1s expert.

Eastern, 2 Epna Marit SHREVE. der to be very stylish, made her appearance in Eastern es years later than the rest of us. Ed's mot oe “Sitence is Golden” (especially in the library). We have found only one thing that can change her character. The question “Do you consider yourself a lady?” has a marvelous effect upon her. By the fervor with which she answers this question we believe that Edna would make a prominent leader in the Wo- men’s Suffrage Association. But alas—she has set her heart on being in the business world. We feel sure that she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. This sedate little miss, in or ve) Mary Powers SIGGERS. Camp Fire. “Mary the Generous,” as she is known to her best friends, is a brown haired, brown eyed girl, We often see her swinging along the halls with her athletic walk. Mary came to us from Salem College, N. C., as a Senior, but this doesn't lessen our love for her, for who can help admiring the warm heart of Mary who feels kindly toward every one? Mary plays basketball as if she enjoyed it, and we guess she does. She is one of Camp Desire’s members and is “just crazy about Dark Feather and her work.” Mary expects to at- tend the University of Michigan next year. 74 Rosert MitcHert Tayror. Dramatics; Cadets. Job, otherwise known as Robert, is surely “one good old scout.” He has made himself famous at school for his wonderful interpre- tation of Job Seidling on “A Thorn Among Roses,” which was presented at one of the dramatic meetings this year. Robert served in the cadets three years and was also a soldier in the Spring Play. When Job has any leis- mh EASTERNER time, he manages Fealy’s Drug Store, (Se me soda slinger.) Robert is going to os Washington next year. We all wish him the best of success there. Munprep SWENEY. Camp Fire; Philologian; Glee Club, 75 “Sweety” is known to all by her rosy cheeks (the kind that doesn’t come off). Mildred is fond of athletics, and plays a good game of tennis and basketball. Camp Desire would be helpless without its Firemaker and Treasurer, and very solemn without her wholesome fun and pranks. Mildred is sometimes forced to giggle” in Latin, much to the consternation of “Elay,” who sits near her. We all highly recommend Mildred to Oberlin, where she ex- pects to go next fall, for we know her to be an energetic and very successful student Philologian and the Glee Club are proud to claim Mildred as a member. 76 Karuertne Wane TAyLor. “Kat Philologian. Do we know Kat? Well, T guess we do know Kat! She's that girl who is in such a hurry to get to Trinity College that she fin- ished her course here at Eastern in three and a half years. In a way we regret this rush, for we understand she aspires to be Mr. Su- ter’s assistant in the Chemistry Department, and we hate to see the new Eastern High School b'own up. Katherine is far famed for her “dear little giggle’ as well as for her membership in the “Waffle Quintet.” Kath- erine has been a loyal member of the Philo- logian Club, and her work in this line was greatly appreciated. We all wish her the best of success next year. 77 Ouive Ropcers Tay1or Here’s to the dark-eyed young lady who strolls into music at 9.45 every Tuesday morn- ing. The reason for this delay is that the Taylors live so near Rock Creek Cemetery that the atmosphere of the “sleeping dead” makes Olive drowsy. Out at Potomac Camp, however, Olive wakes up and works like a Trojan. It is there that she has earned the title of “water boy.” Olive’s password is “Quid Est” and her favorite pastime is the THE EASTERNER 27 devouring of “Billy” sundaes. Next year will find Olive a student at George Washing- ton University, and the class wishes her the hest of success. 78 WiittAM ViERBUCHEN TurPIN. “Bill.” Spring Play. Turpin is that tall, serious-looking person who continually wears green suits. Green, however, is exceedingly becoming to him, so we forgive his persistency. As a German stu- dent none can surpass Turpin. Ask Professor Spanhoofd. Turpin took the part of “Billy Ashe” in the Spring Play and in that role he certainly starred. Who else could have played that part with such an air of ease? William is very fond of canoeing. Ask G. V. T. Tur- pin expects to go to College after he leaves Eastern, and we are sure he will make many friends in his new field. 79 BRUNETTA TER LINDEN. a Lene “Ter” is that dark-haired young lady who visits the market every day and returns with a bag of sweets. No wonder the girls mob her the minute they see her. “Ter” is the optimist of the school. She is always de- lighted to see any mark on her report, for as she says, “It might be worse!” As the daugh- ter of a musician, Brunetta naturally stars as a pianist. She will consent to no interviews, so we do not know what she intends to do after leaving Eastern, but we have a hunch that she'd better take a domestic science course. 80 Joun Dutton WatnwericHt. “Cunnie.” When J. Dutton entered the illustrious halls of Eastern, a certain young lady was heard to remark that he was the best looking boy in the class. Since then he certainly has not deteriorated any, and as no one else has en- tered the class, he must still be the Apollo thereof. The only thing we know detrimental to him is that he spends too much time s udy- ing Major Drawing when he should be loafing through Latin or Math. (Oh, dear, we are upset.) All kidding aside, we wish Wain- wright every success in the world after he leaves school, and Eastern will be glad to see him back again any time he sees fit to come. §1 Annie Drew Tuorne. Little Annie is one of those quiet, studious girls who promises to be the hope of the land. She is one of the brightest girls in school, having received honors every year. If any one happens to be a little vague as to an Eng- lish assignment, she asks Annie. She. is al- ways able to give the desired information. Annie is always ready to help others in dis- tress and is the type of the true and ‘foyal friend. Annie expects to go to Normal next year, and if she continues to do the excellent work that she is now doing, she will make a model teacher. 82 Marran Exvizanetn Tucker.

Don't you know the future prima donna who at present cendescends to warble with the Glee Club? It's Marian! Do you know who is the pride of Miss Hawes’ heart? The same little Mar- ian!

Dramatics. This young lady has done herself credit since entering Eastern. As an artist she has shown unusual talent, as we have all seen, in painting scenery for this year’s Spring ' Play. Also those who have seen her “Victory” pro- nounce it a fine piece of work. She hasn't decided whether to continue her art study in the Corcoran School or to bury herself in Normal. Marie has also shown her talent in the play called “How a Woman Keeps a Se- cret.” “Katz,” as we call her, is full of fun and our best wishes go with her. st Caro Louise WALKER. Dramatics.

Lory is the girl who has chiefly occupied herself with getting in and out of scrapes while here at Eastern. Now, don't get the idea that Lory is absolutely wicked, because she really “ain't,” but her capacity for “fun” often puts her in bad with the “powers behind the throne,” as she affectionately terms the faculty. Taking Dramatic notes, serving pies and pop, bluffing Herr Schwarz, skipping, and laughing, have been her specialties during her four years’ sentence. Considering that these subjects have been a great mental strain, Lory intends to spend the rest of her days re- cuperating. THE SENIOR CLASS. Silvery bearded Lord Time stumbled up the ladder, which leads to the attic, where he was met by the veiled but smil- ing Lady Future, who having heard the sound of revelry came forth to ascertain its cause, Sir Present, the faithful slave of her ladyship, hastily pushed aside sage old Time and began in his pomp- ous way: “Tis the class of °15 gathered together for the last time, dear Lady. I just came up from the drill hall, where they are dancing, and it was certainly a wonder- ful sight. I’ve never seen such a remark- able class!” Here the aggrieved Lord ‘Time reminded him that classes had gone TERNER and classes would come with equal at- tainments ; but Sir Present turned a deaf ear to the one who was so ancient that he sometimes forgot. Witha knowing smile, Sir Present con- tinued with his favorite subject, “When the members of this class are relunctantly granted their sheepskins, it is time for great grief. It’s a crying shame.” Here Present mopped his eyes with a handker- chief, “to put them out just because they are so clever. Why, Dear Lady Future, they are the backbone, the pride of Old Eastern.” Here Lord Time, with a cyn- ical leer, attempted to interrupt, but the Present was still eloquent. “Since September, 1911, I have watched them; since September, 1911, the faculty has praised them. Indeed, Mr. Wallis, the Dictator in Room 8, was so fond of some of the boys that he used to keep them until five and six o'clock ; and then there is Dr. Small, did he ever feel quite safe without one or two of 15’s huskies in the outer office? There, answer me that, Lord Time.” Old Time shook his head and bade Sir Present continue his ravings, while Tady Future stared into a crystal ball as if fas- cinated Present pufied his cheeks and began again: “As I said before, they are the most remarkable class since the graduation of Andrew Jackson. ‘Their versatility alone would mark them as shining lights in the pages of history. Why. among their ranks are found the athlete, the poet, the artist, the actor, the actress, the banker, the military gentleman, to say nothing of the student, although he is probably the most interesting type. In English classes he gives such convincing arguments in the THEEASTERNER support of the theory of evolution that you begin to suspect his connection with a menagerie. “In the artistic line their ability is well represented hy Miss Custis. Lord Time show me the member of any other class who captured a $250.00 prize.” But Old Time just grumbled. “Do you know why the Spring Play was 11 sticcess ?” continued Present. “The noble class of ‘15 put its shoulder to the wheel, and ergo, the audience has heen laughing ever since. What do you sup- pose those boastful aimless juniors will do for a stage manager when Ray Clirk is gone? It looks as though they will be compelled to hire one, and keep the treas- fhe) ury on short coins forever. Poor, de- serted Old Eastern, June 18, 1915, is surely a dark day for you “Of course, dear Lady, you have often seen those valiant military gentlemen, Col. Gilly and Capt. Harry. Same old story. They belong to the class of 14. “Tt’s almost midnight, and Lord Time will doze an instant, so you may tell me what you see in days to come for my favorite class,” whispered Sir Present to the veiled Lady Future; but she only smiled and said, “Lord Time will tell,” but the hells rang twelve, the charm was broken, so Time must tell.

So it is with Eastern High School In Sep- tember, 1912, there entered these noble halls of knowledge such a class as never before in the annals of time has been in- scribed upon its rolls) Never since the arrival of the class of 16 has enthusiasta been lacking at Eastern. With the ver- dure of our freshman year still upon us, we began to make our presence felt; but it was not until we came back as Sophc- mores that the full significance of our un- usual talents began to dawn on the otier classes, and the august heads of this won- derful institution of learning started to appreciate the greatness which had “been thrust upon them.” From that time on the path of this class has been the path of progress, and the other classes regard us with awed admiration as we pass up and down the corridors. In every school activity, from the de- bate to the tussle on the gridiron, ‘16 has shown her ability to maintain the glory of Old Eastern. What would Co. F be without the boys of ‘162 What would the teachers do without the shining lights of this un- equalled class? No conception can be formed of such a catastrophe! If modesty did not prevent us, we The Junior Class would allude to the studious and excep- tionally handsome boys, and the clever, good-looking girls found among its mem- bers. But, however, these latter quali- ties are so apparent that they do not need mention. To sum it all up, with apologies to George Washington, 16 is First in War, First in Peace, And first in the hearts of the Faculty. Here’s to the best old class, That Eastern’s ever seen, The pride of all our loyal hearts, a Hes O iil Gs Here’s to the jolly boys and girls, The tall, the fat, the lean, Who stand for all the school holds hest, Eas, 1G: We've made the dear old school our pride Since we were freshmen green, “School spirit” is conspicuous, in KH: S., 16- And when next vear we sadly go, We'll leave a record bright and clean. We'll all be glad that we belonged to EK. H.S;, 16. Heven Suiru, 16. a ae OI SOPHOMORE CLASS Motto: “Flunk, and the class flunks with you; Pass, and vou pass alone.’ We have reached the happy medium. No longer do we belong to that class of little, green, conspicuous animals dubbed “Freshies ;” we are not yet studious, con- scientious, worldly -wise Juniors, and the infinite glory (7?) of being dignified Se- niors and bearing their mental burdens is still at a safe distance. There’s not a single cloud in our sunny sky. Ours is absolutely the happy, care-free, flunking, yet contented lot of a sophomore. But do not begrudge us our present bliss, for ere long we must concentrate our poor ignorant brains upon the awful duties that approaching months will Icad upon us. “A little bird,” said that we Sophs are regarded as rather “black sheepish.” Well, there may be some truth in that, and there may not, but we will not areue the point. “Reputation is what the fac- ulty thinks you to be; Character is what you are.” Nuff sed! We regret very sorrowfully that we cannot produce a lengthy epistle on the virtues of “Us and Co.,” as the others do, but the reason is The Sophomore Class simple enough. We are merely common, ordinary, perfectly natural kinds, and it has taken ail our “horsepower” to get ourselves landed safely in the Sophomore Class “Que factum est.” we haven't done anything extraordinarily brilliant or clever. But we have two more years left, and, after we get a good breath, we will begin to show you what 1917—but “actions speak louder than words.” Wait and see! We already are the most active class in school. We can prove it, too. It required three attempts on the part of the dis- gusted photographer to snap our fair vis- ages in repose. And if that isn’t con- vincing enough, just take a peep into Rooms 3 or 12 at noon. Admission, free. In spite of our seeming insignificance, we are the happiest and busiest mortals alive and would we could always do noth- ing but read Caesar and study chemistry But we are determined to finish the royal quest. We are even seriously consider- ing changing our motto. Next year it will be: “Every little bit (of Math) added to what you've got makes just a little bit more.” Dororny SHANER, 17 FRESHMAN CLASS It was a bright, autumn day when the Freshmen of this year came to Mastern, and since then the halls have Tung with their playfu! voices and merry laughter, Of course, the class of 18 has realized the fact that they “know not, and know not they knew not.” However, this has not prevented a show of spirit and pat- ticipation in school activities. At the games the most enthusiastic “fans” have been the Freshmen. With lows, hearty voices they have cheered for the players and shouted old Eastern’s fame on both the gridiron and the diamond. M-ny of the first year boys have worked faithfully in their studies in order to obtain posi- tions on the different teams. ana after their sticcess they worked still harder for the honor and glory of the school. However, the good freshman qualities lie not only in tke direction of sports. Owing to their great ability in English, the HASTERNER has had many contri- butions from the first year sections. ‘Th poems and stories were fuily appreciated The Freshman Class wt by all, though perhaps they were written with a green pen. The emerald’s color hasn't embarrassed its present owners in the least. On the contrary, they have seemed to be proud of it, for on “Freshman Day” the green dazzled the eyes of all who gazed upon the brilliantly adorned first-yearers. The present class of freshmen is noted, too, for its good nature. A proof of this is the way in which the mid-year girls willingly agreed to sit in the library when the section rooms were entirely filled. When the members of the class of ’18 become pious seniors, they may have the pleasure of spending that eventful year in a new building, but of course they can never forget the old Eastern, just for Auld Lang Syne. They are hoping that when their High School career is over, they will have done a great deal for dear, old Eastern, whose fame will grow with each added year. Ona Rrrenour, ’18. JAVLS YANYALSVA THE STAFF, Here comes the staff forth from its den, Each hard-working member has laid down his pen. There’s a look on each face as duty well done, (For believe me, the job that they’ve had was no fun!) ‘They open their lips and in chorus do wail, “List, Oh ye tribes, to the Editor’s tale. We've labored and scribbled without any Test, And we hope you'll be pleased for we've all done our best.” “For him who inherits the Editor’s stool, We implore and beseech the support of the school, Fill the box full of locals; send stories galore; Make Tue Easterner better than ever before.” “Let every student, from Senior on down, Boost the paper and make it the best in the town. ‘These are our wishes, the effort’s with you, But we wish you success in whatever you do.” aa |e i 4 at mG as fone —, COMPANY F Yea, verily! History Trepeateth itself, History has been doing that little thing for about ten years now, and we think it’s about time history changed its ways. But cheer up! Better times are coming, for the stars predict two companies the victory for Eastern in 16, and The Competitive Drill was won this year by Company M of Central; H of Western was second, and A of Central, third. While our Company F was not judged one of the three highest, we are proud to say that Eastern was well and creditably represented. The men in the ranks are to be congratulated upon the excellent showing which they-made, and the officers, upon the efficient company which they have developed. The company walked home from the ball park, singing and yelling all the way and acting generally as though they had won half a dozen drills instead of losing that for which they had worked the whole year. They. were accompanied by many members of the school, as well as numerous juvenile admirers, all of whom were only too willing to “Carry your gun, Mister ?” On arriving at school, the cadets re- placed their rifles and washed up a bit. They then adjourned to the corner of Seventh and Pennsylvania Ave., where cheers were given and the Captain was appropriately thanked for the hard work and interest which he has-given to the company this year. “Fats” were then in order and were heartily enjoyed by those who felt like cating and were equally well appreciated by those who felt either mentally or phy- sically indisposed. After the dinner had been done justice to, several speeches were made. First Lieutenant Graves acted as toastmaster and fulfilled that office exceptionally well. He requested that the speeches be short and lacking in both consolation and “next year stuff.” Speeches were made by Dr. Small, Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Padgett, Col. Clark, Capt. Baldwin, Lieut. Chisholm, ex-Col. Yater, ex-Capt. Deck, and ex-Maj. Taylor. The speakers urged that all of the men enlist next year and by doing this and persuad- ing others to join, make two companies for Eastern and thus double the chance of victory. Mr. Schwartz told us that he had not expected “F” to do as well as they did, and that he was greatly surprised at the drill they put up. As Mr. Schwartz has observed the company all this year, he ought to know, and anyhow. we cannot but agree with him because we were sur- prised, too. A company cannot win the drill in the last two or three drill days. The drill must be prepared for all through the year and kidding is poor preparation. Capt. Baldwin thanked the men for the support they had given him. He said that we did not lose the drill by any bad mis- takes, but that the other companies just drilled a little better than we did. The Continued on page 55 THE EASTERNER ‘The Indoor Meet was held this year as scheduled, but did not prove a success from Eastern’s standpoint. We did come out second in the inter-company match, but in the others our team did not make a very good showing. The Outdoor Meet was held this year at Winthrop, Md. The teams were taken down on a government tug, and all en- joyed the outing immensely. In this meet, also, Kastern was not very success- ful. Her teams came out third in each of the three matches. Bruce Gore won third place in the High Score Match, with a score of 90 out of a possible 100, He also won the medal for making the high- est score from Eastern. Out of the sev- enteen fellows who went to Winthrop, fifteen made the qualification for the Junior Marksman Outdoor Medal. ‘Those making the qualification were: Barkman, Johnson, T. Chisholm, C. Chisholm, Men- gert, Speer, Small, H. Graves, F. Eng- lish, H. Baldwin, Watson, Himmler, S. W. Earnshaw, Gallahan and Gore. Gal- lahan and Gore were disqualified, how- ever, for being over the age limit. Continued on page 53 PUNTER ia FOOTBALL. When the candidates reported for this year’s eleven, the school looked them over. They looked for familiar faces, but their search was vain. Only men had returned from last year’s team. The school began to think that it had no show at all. One of the teachers said, “We must build up for next year.” When the preliminary games started, however, three ETC Y'lUcat 7 nia 20 i Ai Wat Tigi Nyt Lops Wp Mf sf oe Llayy LT ia Mis hy cael Me antl we and Eastern won the majority, people be- ran such a light team play so well,” they asked. ‘The “Team work and is the cry of the Spirit gan to take notice. “How explanation is simple not individual work,” coaches, and team work it was. also played an important part.

The outlook for basketball was the same as that for football, yet the team finished with an average of 500. This was very good, considering the hardships the team labored under. The gym was available only twice a week. On other days practice was held at Fifth and Vir- ginia Ave. The team did not murmur, When the season opened Eastern presented a com- but set to work with a will. bination that was feared by all the other 44 THE EASTERNER TRACK TEAM schools. Mr. Kimball also coached this team, assisted by Mr. McCaffrey and Mr. Smith. It would be a fine thing if others of the Alumni would try to help the old school as these two have done. Those who received the “E” are: Dyer (captain), Fessender (manager), Rice, Roddy, Baldwin, Davidson and Clark. Others who stuck the season out were Cummings, Barr, Boteler, McAuliffe, Tomlin and Walsh. ScHoLastic STANDING. Wiser ech: 4 0 1.000 Syed e700 2 2 500 1 3 .250 0 4 = .000 TRACK. Eastern made a very good showing in track this year, considering the difficul- ties the team worked under. The school has no coach for this branch of sport. This shows good spirit in the fellows who stuck it out and trained on their own re- sponsibility. Neither does the school furnish track material. Each fellow who goes out for the team must dig in his own pocket and the expense is not light by any means. Nevertheless, some stuck it out, and were rewarded for their work. In the indoor meets there were no vic- tories chalked up. The relay team com- prised of Sherfy, Davidson, McEthan- non and Clark barely lost out in its two races. Barr ran a good race in the 880 and Mansuy in the mile. At this point interest died down for a time, and then THE EASTERNER came the announcement of the date of the spring meet. A few of the fellowe started to train and entered several events. The result was that Barr won the mile and Davidson finished second in the broad jump. Barr’s performance was remarkable He made the distance in 4.41 on q heavy field. When the race started no one thought of him for it was his first at- tempt. But when he won rather easily from the favorites and upset the dope, people began to take notice. With a good coach Barr should develop into an excep- tional distance man. Davidson must also be given credit for his work. On looking into the records it will be seen that he has won his letter in three branches of sport this year. He is an all-round athlete. Credit must also be given to those who tried but did not win. They will have another chance next year. BASEBALL. Just the opposite from the football and basketball teams, the baseball team start- ed the season with excellent prospects for another championship. When the pre- liminary games started, however, Eastern lost the majority. The school became alarmed. When the championship games started, our worst fears were realized. Fastern’s team finished the season as hopeless cellar champions. The first game was lost to Business by 11-2. Eastern put up a miserable exhibi- tion of baseball. No one could hold the ball. One would think the boys wore boots instead of gloves. The other games were just repetitions of the first. Eastern lost to Tech by 7-3; to Central by 10-5, and to Western by 6-5. Of course there were some redeeming features. Some of 45 the boys Played a onsistent articl ball.

Some of the best men on the team fell behind in their studies, and so the team was deprived of their services. It is about time the fel- lows were taking a tumble. There is no excuse for failures. A little extra effort can overcome many difficulties. Of course they should have been notified that they were falling behind. A system was put into operation some time ago but not carried out Successfully this year. Re- member, efficiency in scholastic work is Just as essential as efficiency in athletics. A word in closing: “Bill” Ellis has managed both the baseball and football teams this year. His work makes him one of the best managers an Eastern team has ever had. He deserves great credit for the work he has done this year. -GIRL’S ATHLETICS. At the beginning of the year girl’s ath- letics were absolutely dead. Gradually things began to wake up, and by Christ- mas the girls were enthusiastic and ready for hard work. Every Tuesday the two Junior teams, and likewise the Senior teams, met in the drill hall. The girls played some very interesting games of basketball and enjoyed the sport im- mensely. Then things came to a stand- still when the boy’s basketball season be- gan. The girls had very little chance to practice, for the boys used the gym near- ly every day, either for practice or for : s Continued on page 48. PHILOLOGIAN SOCIETY CAMPFIRE GIRLS 48 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS. Continued from page 45- ; games. In this way the enthusiasm which had overtaken the girls died out until all interest seemed to be lost. The basket- ball season being over it was supposed that the girl’s teams would resume their practice, but they never regained their former enthusiasm. The Senior teams failed to appear at all. It is true that the Junior teams did resume their practice for a short while, but this did not last very long. In the short time that they did play the two teams developed mar- velously and showed good form. If they THE EASTERNER had stuck it out, though, much more could have been accomplished than really was. We are living in hopes that the Juniors of this year will make an early start next year and accomplish more as Seniors. Now that the warm weather has set in, tennis seems to be the sport of the day. The court south of the school has been in use for several weeks. The new court at the north, which is exclusively for girls, is now completed and ready for use. These courts will afford great pleas- ure to the students during the summer.

Not only has the club had some delight- ful programs, but also several successful social functions. The dances have been well attended and enjoyed by all.

The CAMP FIRE The Potomac Camp Fire group held a council meeting at Camp Desire camp on Saturday, the 15th. Numerous honors were awarded to the members. Miss Merrill has given up the guardianship of this group because of the Camp Fire rul- ing which says that a guardian may only hold a guardianship for one group. The girls, however, have secured the neces- sary applic and eve ations papers for Mrs, Taylor, TY one is looking forward with Pleasure to her taking charge. i == There has been a new Camp Fire group formed at Eastern under the guardian- ship of Mrs, Loudenslager, known as the Ocela Camp Fire. ‘Their second council meeting was held on May 20th, at the home of Vivian Michael in Chevy Chase. Margaret Runbeck gave an Indian legend and games were played. This new group 1S composed of thirteen wide awake girls and we not only wish, but expect, great things from the Ocela Camp Fire in the future. A Grand Council Meeting of all the Camp Fire girls in the city was held May 21 in the gymnasium of the Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick, the originators of the Camp Fire organization, were present and spoke to the girls and their parents. Mrs. Gulick s poke of different symbols and_ their meanings. Her illustrations were highly interesting to the girls, especially Mrs. Gulick’s own Camp Fire costume which she displayed. Dr. Gulick spoke for com- bined effort on the part of all the Camp Fire girls in everything and especially in attempting to establish a permanent camp. The girls received honors for some one thing they had accomplished with the aid of their mothers. Songs were sung by the girls and one of the group gave a “stunt.” The meeting was the biggest thing ever attempted by the Camp Fires of the city, and its undoubted success was very gratifying to the girls as well as to Miss Merrill who, as chairman of the Guardian Council, had full charge. JIV.LS ANVd “Ss HG THE EASTERNER THE BANK. The Eastern High School Bank was organized in the year 1913, and since then has enjoyed two fairly successful years. True, the total deposits of the past year were not as great as the total de- posits of the first year. However, great plans for next year have been conceived in the fertile minds of Mr, Catella and the members of the force. These plans will be made public as time passes. ‘The students in school certainly have not supported the Bank as they should have done. It should be remembered that this matter of supporting the Bank is one which will eventually work for the good of the student. A snug little bank ac- count is something not to be sneered at, and everyone who possibly can, should try to get one. 51 The officers for the past year are as fol- lows: G. C. Clark, President. H.W.

The hard efforts and conscientious work of all those connected with the dramatic society has made this year one of the best in the history of the school. In spite of the fact that the work on the spring play was not started until late in the year, the play was a wonderful success. Every one worked and worked and worked, and so presented a nearly perfect production of Richard Harding Davis’ farce comedy “The Galloper.” Jo Waight, in the lead- ing role, kept the audience in continuous uproar. Her clever personality aided her skillfully to play her difficult part. Edith Barnes and Edna Tucker both took their parts exceptionally well. Being only Juniors they stand an excellent chance for next year’s spring play. May Mann, as Mrs. Sybil Schwartz of Newark, played her part so cunningly that she cap- tured the impregnable heart of Captain O'Malley, alias Colonel Gillie Clark. Walter Graves, the leading man, played his part as no other could have done. He won the audience when he first stepped upon the stage. Tony McAuliffe will, without doubt, be leading man next year. He was unequalled as an English war correspondent. Ray Clark and his red whiskers will never be forgotten. Ray has done unequalled work in dramatics while at Eastern. Schwab and Turpin made their debuts to the dramatic world in the spring play, and the school is won- dering how such talent could have re- THE FASTERNER mained hidden so long. George English, Eddie Maier and ‘ Slippery” Gwin were very versatile, each taking several parts, “Bate W alsh 1S an inimitable addition to the dramatic society. The cast also in- cluded Marie Walcott, Joe Baldwin, Nor- man Roddy, “Blondy” Rice, Main San- doe and Charles Mansuy, The play went off perfectly, with smoothness unknown to amateur per- formers and producers. No small part of this success is due to the hard work of the stage manager, Ray Clark. Every one connected with dramatics in anyway knows the competent, ever needed helpful stage manager. But no one can think of the spring play and not think of Miss McColm. She really gave the play. Without her it is doubtful whether there could have been a spring play. The cast appreciated her work so sincerely, that they presented her with a beautiful silver loving cup. Miss Van Doren also deserves much praise, as it was she who made the scen- ery for the play or superintended its mak- ing. Miss Merrill and her Camp Fire girls helped with the costumes. And last, but by no means least, the student body deserves credit for the stup- port they gave. No matter how well a thing is gotten up, it is not a success un- le ss properly supported by the students. As this year has come to an end, it is well to look over the work that has been done. Many good sketches have been given, from the.comic and light ones to the tragic and deeper ones. Every one has been well presented, too. This proves that a great interest has been taken in dramatics this year. Be sure to keep this interest next year!

By the time this issue of the EAST- ERNER is published, the winner cf the “Rice Medal” will have been announced W. S. Small, Jr., will have been pre- sented with the rifle which was offered by Capt. Barkman for the hest shot in the freshman class, and the Rifle Club E’s will have been presented to those who have shot in two or more matches. Those who are to receive letters are: Barkman, Johnson, Mengert, Gore, Gallahan, Maier, C. Chisholm and T. Chisholm, Although Eastern has won no matches this year, the year has been a most suc- cessful one in view of the furtherance of good rifle shooting. The number of out- door qualifications for this year greatly exceeded that of last and the general standard of shooting has been greatly improved. The fact that the Rifle Club has had such a successful year is prob- ably due to the great interest which has been taken in the club by Mr. Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz was always on hand for rifle practice and was always ready to help a member of the club. The EAST- ERNER takes this occasion to congratu- late Mr Schwartz on the success of the Rifle Club. 34 THE EASTERNER SCHOOL HAPPENINGS. On May 18th, Peace Day, Dr. Small read to the school, President Wilson’s ad- dress at the naval parade in New York City. This speech was very appropriate for a peace day celebration. The Senior Class has held several meetings, during which the speakers for Class Night have been chosen. They are as follows: historian, Vietta Droney; speaker to the undergraduates, Raymond Clark; prophetesses, Ruth Ball, Marie Walcott, Jo Waight and Marjorie Haines. The class poet will be chosen by a com- mittee of English teachers, who will de- cide upon anonymous sample poems At a recent meeting it was decided that class night would be June 17th, and gradua- tion June 18th. The annual drawing exhibition was held on June 11th. The drawing rooms were open from four until ten o'clock in the afternoon. The exhibition was con- tinued again in the evening. It was pre- ceded by an entertainment by the Girls’ Glee Club, and some of the physical training classes. The drawing rooms were opened also on the afternoon of the 14th. There was a good attendance, and both the entertainment and the exhibi- tion were pronounced a success. On Thursday afternoon, May 20th, the officers of the Cadet Company gave the members of the company a “feed.” Miss Johnson and several Senior girls had charge of the refreshments, which con- sisted of ice cream, cake and punch. Dr. Small, Colonel Clark and Captain Bald- win made speeches. After this, there was dancing which was greatly enjoyed by all. EXCHANGE.

After the speeches, the prize cadets were announced as follows: Best drilled and disciplined cadet, R. Baldwin; best experienced cadet, Speer; best inexperi- enced cadet, Cummins: best February cadet, Plowman. The following received honorable mention: Cook, McElhannon, Brockman, W. B. Earnshaw, T. F.

All of the men who were in the com- pany this year should re-enlist and so make it possible to have two companies. ‘There are mofe than enough boys for two and this is a good way to show your school spirit. The cadets next year should start working as soon as the companies are organized and should strive steadily throughout the year to bring back the flag which is at present a stranger to Eastern. Here’s to two companies for next year and the victory for “Dear Old Eastern.” LOCALS. “Tye been having the most trouble with my cook !” “Why don’t you fire her?” “T can’t; she’s a fireless cooker.” Miss Bucknam: “Can any one give the arguments on both sides of the Webster- Haynes debate?” Miss McCaffrey: “No; but I can give the arguments on both sides of the Leet- Haines debate.” She: “I told you to come after supper.” He (modestly) : “That's what I came after.” Senior: “How do Freshmen resemble real estate?” Soph: “Got me.” Senior: ‘They're a vacant lot.” Go wash your hands, it’s clean-up week.

The plant, owned and operated by the Chap- in-Sacks Manufacturing Company, was built expressly for the purpose of mak- ing ice-cream. 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 the 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- GET YOUR Buns, Doughnuts, Cakes, etc., at M.A. ELLIOTT’S Just Across the Street 317 Seventh St. S.E. ing material and the sugar are put into the vats with the cream and the whole is thoroughly mixed by large paddles which revolve in the vats. When the ingred- jents 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 @ jacket through very cold brine is continually are so constructed that the may be watched. which a circulating, process of freezing When the freezing mixture has arrived at a certain stage, it is drawn off into the sterilized cans in whic h 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 welc ome at the plant at all times.

FARRIS ENGLISH, 16 EDWIN WALSH, ’18 ——— THE EASTERNER 7 A sorrowful little figure crept from behind the big telegraph pole in front of the Crafton Bakery and walked de- jectedly down Quincy Street, eyes gloom- ily intent upon the ground, and his cap pulled shamefully over them. Bub Craig’s loyal little heart was heavy; it was almost broken beyond repair. Never, no never again would he carry his little red head in the air proudly; he doubted is he would ever feel like whistling again. The world seemed a dull and dreary place to Bub. But, great guns! if it had only been a boy who had said it! The scathing sarcasm repeated itself again and again in Bub’s head. “If I were a boy, I’d scorn to be a quitter. I'd stick to the ship and take the consequences. I'd never be a cow- ard like Billy Craig!” And that was what she had said about Billy. Oh, the sting of those words and the aches they caused one loyal little heart! His hands itched and his fists clenched unconsciously. Bub had almost forgotten the Other Girl. All he remembered was that her eyes were blue and smiling as she brave- ly retorted, “Whatever I may think of 3illy Craig, I will never believe that!” She had taken his side! It was at least comforting to know that they didn’t all believe he was a coward and a quitter. But he would feel so much better if he could have given someone a black eye for it. It would have evened matters up a little. A hearty slap upon his shoulder start- led him from his gloomy reverie. “°Lo, Bub! Where ya going’ ?” “°Lo; goin’ home!” Bub was not any too congenial tonight. “Goin’ to th’ game tomorrow?” in- “Making Over Billy” quired Link Ryan. Link, of course, could think nor talk of anything but game, game, game, which was only natu- ral, for his brother was the star pl ayer on the varsity team. “Sure,” was the unspirited reply. Bub was in no mood to talk of football or of anything else to a boy whose brother was Rod Ryan; yet he knew that once Link got started there would be no peate for him. “ Member th’ time Rod made two touchdowns? Gee!” Link was only a boy, after all, and he couldn't help adding, “That was the same game that Bill got put out for rough work and made Craf- ton get penal——?” Something inside of Bub Craig spanned with a bang: something else flashed at the same time in his wrathful gray eyes that made Link stop a moment. But Bub was waiting. And Link, because he delighted in sing- ing Rod’s praises, had to go on. It wasn’t his fault, was it, that the other fellow didn’t show up well in a compari- son with the almighty Rod? So— “Too bad Bill was so yellow that is It had come! It had come! They were the very words Bub was waiting for. “Say it again! Say it again!” he shrieked in a terrible fury. But he didn’t give him a chance to take his dare. In less time than it takes to tell it, some- body had a bleeding nose and a black eve. And it wasn’t Bub, either, for he continued walking down Quincy Street with his little red head halfway in the air, for all the Craigs weren’t yellow and—he had partly evened matters up. That night footballs, black eyes, and boys who were “yellow” abounded in confusion in Bub’s dreams, but Thanks- giving Day was clear and sunny without a hint of the grayness of Bub’s yester- day. The air was filled with invigorating crispness and even Bub had to admit that the old world was all right. He had THE EASTERNER 8 ill start off for the campus early his brawny shoulders high above the rest, and he wondered how anyone could call him “yellow.” ; At the game Bub made a startling dis- covery that started his heart in quicker motion. She was sitting in back of him, the girl with the smiling blue eyes. if he had only told Bill what she had said, maybe—but it was too late; the game had started. i Now was Bill’s chance to prove him- self; he would show them that he was no quitter, of that much Bub was confi- dent. The November sun smiled benignly upon both teams. The Erie eleven was heavier and more skillful than the Craf- ton team and the field was soon a mass of dodging, squirming, fighting men. Billy Craig went into the struggle half- heartedly with a lazy indifference that disgusted the grandstand but came as a seen I in the afternoon, He looked around blow in Bub’s face. at Her as though he would read the an- swer in her eyes, but they were puzzled and doubtful, too. Oh, how could a real boy be out on that glorious field and act as he was. She was beginning to believe that he was a quitter. In the thickest part of the game while Billy was making a wretched attempt to smash the interference coming around his end, he was hastily brushed aside and the opposing team swept straight down the field and under the goal posts for the first score. After that, there wasn’t the least little bit of hope left in Bub. He was sure it Billy had taken the test and failed—oh, so miserably. Uncon- sciously he turned around. Her eyes were wistful and Bub imagined he saw tears in them. He fervently hoped she wasn't as disappointed as he, but he knew she was. If only he could do some- was all over. thing! The third quarter had started and silly had left the field on the plea of a wrenched wrist. Crafton doubted! Out on the field Rod Ryan was awak- ening. It was up to him to save Crafton, Already the Erie eleven had made two touchdowns and Crafton had not scored at all. Then Rod made a touchdown! That was more than Bub could stand. The whole grandstand cheered lustily— cheered the Blue and Gold and—Rod, on to victory; but Bub could hear the beat- ing of his heart above it all. Making his way through the crowd he climbed over the fence to the bench of line-ups. “Rill!” he called huskily. Bill came quickly,’ anxiously. “Why, Bub, old top, what's up?” he asked. Oh, how Bub did hate to tell him, but it was the one and only way. “Rill, you ought to have seen Her when you quit! Please go back in; show em what you’re made of—prove you're not a quitter and that you're not ‘yel- low” And, Bill, have you thought of Dad?” Little-brother instinct! What would Bill have done without it? Bub had bravely done his duty and he went back to wait. . Something ‘way down in Billy Craig’s heart began to work queerly. He began to think what a cad he had been, but there wasn’t time for that. His wonder- ful shoulders squared themselves uncon- sciously as he walked into the field. Bub grinned happily himself as he heard a pair of gloved hands clap softly behind him and a soft sigh of relief es- cape from the Girl with the Blue Eyes. With a springy, eager step, his eyes shining and his jaw set, Billy ran to answer the summons of the whistle. He was glad he had another chance. He fairly flew to take his place for the kick- off. He worked like lightning. He was everywhere, tackling, blocking, and con- THE EASTERNER 9 fusing the other team by his speed. The grandstand gasped. Then it held its breath. Bub looked around once more. Her eyes were shining now; her cheeks were flushed and as the grand- stand gave one glorious, lusty cheer for Craig, her banner of blue and gold waved joyously, madly in the air. Billy had the ball hugged close; his muscles were tired and sore, but he had to prove he wasn't “yellow.” On he ran, knocking all obstacles right and left with a stiff arm. He was almost there! His breath was c oming fast; he must jump if he would make it. A wiry leap in the air and a soft, dull thud! He was over the line! There he lay in an exhausted heap. His ankle had twisted itself in his fall. The pain was torturing him, drawing his face into hard lines, and he bit his lips to keep down the groans. His teammates were coming joyfully toward him; his name was yelled across the campus from end to end. As they lifted him high upon their shoulders and carried him through the gate, out of the great gay throng, he saw only two things —a waving banner of blue and gold above a pair of smiling blue eyes, and a little red-headed boy with a beaming face. Bub was hunting Link Ryan, for Bill Craig had won the victory for Crafton. He had saved the team from defeat, had better than that, he had proved that he wasn't “yellow.” DorotHy SHANER, 10B. Hark! nowrings the music GLEE CLUB NEWS Listen ! The sounds came from the direction of the assembly hall—Oh! it is Monday af- ternoon, and the Girls’ Glee Club is having its weekly rehearsal. The organ- ization now numbers forty young ladies, all of more or less musical talent, who find great pleasure in this one rehearsal, and are privileged in being able to make a study of some beautiful music, through the courtesy of the Rubenstein Club of this city. Miss Edna Tucker has been elected president of the club; Miss Helen Whitman, treasurer; Miss Bessie Wood, librarian, and Mrs. Byram, director. The boys are renewing their efforts in the direction of a glee club, which was temporarily suspended last year, and have a smaller though quite as promising a club. There is a call for tenors and basses, and a quick response is urged. They meet on Wednesday afternoon. They have elected officers as follows: President, Earl G. Jonscher; treasurer, David Gates; librarian, C. E. Burns. The response for material to form an orchestra was far greater relatively than that of a high school more than twice our size, and it is certain that Mr. Cogswell will be pleased when he holds his first rehearsal. With a “sunrise” class of forty earnest young students meeting at 8:45 on Tues- day morning to work out the scientific side of music, and the rest of two and a half days filled with classes in en- semble singing, who says that our interest in music is lacking? This is one of our activities that costs less effort, and brings more joy, than al- most any other. Shall we aot all sup- port it earnestly and joyfully?

This is a question asked at the begin- ning of every school year, and which is always answered in the same way by all: “A great deal.” We all decide to study hard, to support athletics, the regiment, and the other school activities, and make this year a banner year in all respects. But do we always succeed? Some of us may, but the majority of us do not. East- ern will need all the support it can get this year from every student. Results are what we want, not expectations. Think it over, and then do something for your alma mater. Freshmen! Support the School! Just because you are freshmen don't get the idea that you are not to help make the school a success. You are ex- pected to contribute just as much toward the support of the school as any other class. Besides, now that you are in your first year it is the time for you to begin to do things, and thus prepare yourselves for the roles you will have to enact in the school life in your second, third, and fourth years. Four years from now the cadet companies will need captains and lieutenants. They will be chosen from the present freshman class. The various athletic organizations will need captains and managers. Your class will have to supply them. So get into the thick of things right now, show your colors, make things go, prove that you are worthy to be numbered among those at Eastern, and before your school career is ended, you will be sure to realize at least one of your present ambitions as a just re- ward for your faithful support, and for your unceasing efforts for the betterment of your school. Athletics This, as you probably have noticed, is the Foot Ball Number. We would like to include all the teams in this issue, but football occupies the center of the stage, and therefore must get most of the space. To date, Eastern has played two high school games, one with the Central High School, and one with the Western High School. The Central team won the first game by a score of 6 to 0, and the Western team the second by a score of 14 to 0. The team this year is the lightest and least experienced of any we have had for some time, but it pos- sesses the fighting spirit. High school teams may line up against Eastern with the expectation of winning, but they al- ways expect a fight, and they always get one. A clean playing, scrappy team al- ways makes a name for itself. Captain Lanahan’s team is doing this. A Change in Faculty Adviser Tue EAasterNeR deeply regrets the resignation of Miss Bucknam as the fac- ulty adviser of Tue Easterner. During the past seven years, under her guiding hand, THe EAsTERNER has gradually risen to be one of the foremost high school publications in the East. We do not doubt that the paper would have ceased to exist without the loyal and effi- cient support of its former faculty ad- viser. She has stood by us at all times, and has made Tue EASTERNER a success when the most loyal supporters of the school thought it would be a failure. We sincerely hope that she will attain as great success in her other undertakings as she has with THe EasTerNer. We feel assured that in Mr. Wattawa we have an adviser who is well qualified to take her place. We congratulate our- selves on being so fortunate as to have a _man of Mr. Wattawa’s attainments to pilot us through the present school year. THE EASTERNER 11 a5 Eastern’s 1915 football team started work on the first day of school, when promptly at 2 answered Coach Kimble’s call for candi- o'clock twenty-four boys dates. After the suits were given out, a light practice, which consisted of the rudiments of the game, was held on the school lot. A few days later the team journeyed to Rosedale for the first scrim- mage. Although the team has lost the services of Clark, Roddy, Baldwin, Horne, and Dyer, Coach Kimble had seven “E” men and several substitutes of last year’s eleven as a nucleus with which to begin the season. Upon looking over the list it was found that there were nine new candidates, eager to make their reputa- tions on the gridiron. It is hoped that these new boys will come to practice each day and work hard, for remember, fel- lows, it’s the “stickers” that make the team. Those who have been out for foot- ball are as follows: Captain Lanahan, Manager Jonscher, Barr, Gwin, Maier, Garman, Speer, Steltz, Hunt, G. English, Hardy, Brockwell, Small, R. Baldwin, Sweeney, Cummings, McCarthy, Sherfy, Knapp and Flaherty. The team this year is a very light one and in order to make a good showing in the High School Series will have to de- velop a large amount of speed. Coach Kimble is therefore laying much stress on this line of the work. The schedule is as follows: Oct. 9—Randolph-Macon, at Front Royal, Va. Oct. 15.—Army-Navy Preps, at A.-N. grounds. Oct. 19.—Central High School. Oct. 23—Charlotte Hall, at Charlotte Hall, Md. Oct. 26.—Western High School. Oct. 30—Georgetown Georgetown field. Nov. Nov. 16.—Technical High School. Pe piseeain 5.—Business High School. 12 CAPTAIN LANAHAN In the second practice game, Eastern was defeated, but not until A. and N. Preps had been extended to the limit, the score being 7 to 0. The line played very well in this game, the work of Maier and Graves featuring. The attempts of our backfield to gain on end runs met with little success. Fullback Barr made most of Eastern’s gain by his line plunging. The line-up: Eastern A. and N. Preps Small evesaceian eae L. Sweeney Hunt, Brockwell. L . Weller Maier .. ee | bx Miller Graves EG.

Summary Eastern, instead of bewildering West- ern in our second Inter-High School game, was herself bewildered by the punting of Peck for Western, which was one of the chief factors in Eastern’s de- feat, 14—0. Western gained its points by two touchdowns, one being scored early in the first period, the second during the third period. While Eastern was out- weighed and out-played, Western was lucky enough to get the breaks, the pen- alties inflicted upon Eastern at various stages of the game being very disastrous. Western started out to play a kicking game. After Captain Lanahan had kicked off, Peck, on Western’s first play, booted the ball for 65 yards. Eastern, after rushing for a few downs, kicked and re- covered the ball on the 40-yard line. Then Eastern was penalized 15 yards for hold- ing, after which Garman punted. West- ern worked its way to our 5-yard line, but our fellows held on the fourth down only to receive a penalty of 5 yards for off-side. Western was given the ball on our l-yard line and on the second play shoved the ball across the goal line. THE EASTERNER 138 Western’s second touchdown was scored in somewhat the same way as the first one. Peck again made a long kick and an Eastern man fumbled the ball on our 8-yard line, Western recovering the ball. Western was held for downs, but one of our fellows was off-side and it was Western's ball on the 1-yard line. However, it took two plays before the goal was scored. Our team did not show to advantage until the last quarter, when Captain Lan- ahan and “Reds’’ Sweeney gained much ground in charging the line. However, it was too late to begin and before the team could get within striking distance of Western’s goal, the whistle blew, ending the game. Captain Lanahan and Barr played a very consistent game, Barr being East- ern’s chief ground gainer. Eastern Western Garman 3 Roher Steltz . LT. . Hume English Ta .. Weedon Graves €.

The purpose of school athletics is to promote the physical welfare of students and to provide them with wholesome and enjoyable recreation. The purpose of competitive interschol- astic athletic contests is to provide oppor- tunity for the representative boys in the several high schools to meet in friendly, honorable, gentlemanly competition. By “representative boys” is meant those boys of athletic ability who fulfil the stand- ards of scholarship, conduct, and char- acter that the schools require of those who expect the school diploma. Inter-high school athletics are gov- erned by the following body of rules Washington High Schools ELIGIBILITY RULES IN ATHLETICS Adopted by High School Principals September, 1911; Res ised April, 1918 To be eligible to compete in any inter- high school championship game, the con- testant— 1.

GENERAL RULES GOVERNING CONTESTS 1. No ties in football shall be played off. 2. All football games shall consist of 20-minute halves. : 3. In all contests the scheduled series shall be moved in the event of a post poned game. . In addition to these inter-scholastic rules, there are certain requirements in the Eastern High School relative to eli- gibility and emblems: 1. Members of teams to be eligible for the award of the school monogram must at all times be faithful in practice, re- spect and obey school regulations, ob- serve the rules of training during the athletic season and govern themselves according to the best standards of ath- letic conduct. Failure to report for prac- tice without excuse shall be cause for suspension from the team. 2. Members of athletic squads must be scrupulous in their regard for athletic proprieties. Any member of an athletic squad who fails to turn over, on demand, to any authorized agent of the Athletic Association all athletic property loaned to him by the Association shall be liable to forfeiture of right to receive or wear any athletic insignia awarded by the school ; forfeiture of the privilege of rep- resenting the Eastern High School in any form of athletics. The same rule holds for any member of any squad who appropriates the athletic material of a fellow member without the permission of the coach. 3. A student for cause may be debarred by the principal from participation in athletics and from receiving athletic em- (“Cause” is misconduct, either blems. 2 . or cumulative miscon- a flagrant act t. a yadenes who have fulfilled the re- quirements stated above may be given the school monogram by vote of the Ath- ic Council. ee To members of the football team who have played in at least two full halves as any championship contest. b.

True sportsmen are courteous and friendly in their games. 4. A sportsman must have courage. 5. The umpire shall decide the game. 6. Honor for the victors, but no de- rision for the vanquished. 7. A true sportsman is a good loser in his games. §. The sportsman may have pride in his success; no conceit. Barkman: “Fashion says that our clothes must match our hair this year.”” Boteler: ‘“Here’s hopin’ it’s a mild winter, for Mr. Schwartz's sake.” Gates: “Is the checker team self sup- porting ?” Graves: its board.” “No, it couldn't even pay for Miss Bo yd: in the library.” Dade: “Why not?” Miss Boyd: “Everybody knows it’s dangerous to have fire around a maga- zine. “Here, you can’t smoke “I’m going in the coal business with my father.” “Pretty soft, eh?” THE EASTERNER 15 School News Upon our return to school this year we found that two of our teachers, Miss Mc- Colm, of the English Department, and Dr. Spandhoofd, teacher of German, had been transferred to the Central High School. Eastern students extend their best wishes to them and hope that they will be pleased with th eir new surround- ings. Their places are filled by Mr. Wat- tawa and Dr. Leineweber, and Tue EASTERNER, in behalf of the school, wel- comes them to places on our faculty. On the morning of September 30, a cadet rally was held in the assembly hall. The object of this rally was to urge the beys to enlist and help get two companies at Eastern this year. Major McCathran was present and made a speech in which he pointed out the benefits to be derived from being a member of the cadet regi- ment. Speeches also were made by ex- Colonel Yater and ex-Captain Deck. On the afternoon of September 30, the members of the Mav F. Wood's Tent of the Daughters of Veterans of IIli- nois, presented Eastern with a flag which had been made by them entirely by hand. Tt was presented by the Tent Commander The Tent then proceeded to make Dr. Small an honorary member. The flag has been hung in the main hall in ac- cordance with their wishes. On October 5 an athletic rally was held. Mr. Wallis spoke to us concerning the financial needs of the Association, and the methods by which money was to be raised to support it. Coach Kimble also spoke to us on the chances this year for football honors. He predicted a suc- cessful season. Captain Lanahan then made a brief address, asking the boys to come out for the team and show more spirit. He also urged those plavers who are in the “Intellectual Hospital” to study and “get out” so that they could be counted on to strengthen the team after the first advisory. On October 19 another cadet rally was held. This was for the further boosting of the two-company idea. Lieutenant? Colonel Maier spoke to us and brought to our attention the fact that if Eastern did not get two companies this year, it would have even less chance for the flag than last year, for there will be at least six more companies this year. Dr. Small spoke and reminded us that the more companies there were the greater chance we would have for the colonelcy this year. It is hoped the boys will join the ranks and in this way promote our chances for winning the competitive drill and also assure us of the honor of hav- ing the colonelcy at Eastern for five con- secutive times. On October 19, the day of the first football game, we were called to the assembly hall to practice cheers and songs, to elect a cheer leader, and to hear what the coach and Captain Lanahan had to say. They seemed to think that we should beat Central. As result of the ballots cast for cheer leader, Brown was elected and Gates was made assistant. Tue Easterner rally was held on Oc- tober 25. The editor-in-chief, Boteler, gave a talk and pointed out that each member of the school could help the lit- erary part of the paper by sending in jokes, stories, and poems, and told how they could help the business side by se- curing advertisements and by subscribing to the paper themselves. Speeches were also made by Business Manager Maier, his assistant, English, and Mr. Wattawa. They told how the paper had to have money to exist, and urged every mem- ber of the school not only to subscribe themselves, but to get their friends who were former students at Eastern to sub- scribe and in this way help finance the paper. eet The class of 17 suffered the loss of one of its most popular and lovable members in the death of Virginia Grosvenor in Septem- ber, 1915. The school extends its sincere sympathy to her parents. a 16 On October 21, Mr. Cogswell spoke to us concerning the forming of an oT chestra here at Eastern. We hope that all those who can play any instrument will report to Mrs. Byram, for a school orchestra is a fine thing to have.

THE EASTERNER Philologian So far this year the Philologian So- y has had some very interesting meet- ciet ¢ among which were the October ings, meeting and the one on Thomas Nelson g ; ; Page. In one of the meetings the girls of the club enjoyed a talk by. Miss Gard- ner. This talk brought to mind the main object of the society, and aroused the interest of all present. Plans for the Thanksgiving dance have been completed, and all are looking forward to a good time. a Camp-Fire Notes Ocela Camp Fire camped for a week during the summer at Bird Lawn, Mary- land, where they had a very pleasant time. One evening the girls gave an original play. Camp Fire Desire camped four days jn June near the end of school at their tepee at Camp Desire. The girls secured a permit to go in swimming, which they used and enjoyed very much. Pocahontas Camp Fire spent two weeks of their vacation in July in a cot- tage at North Beach, Md. Many of the girls have acquired great skill in swim- ming, and one or two are ready to re- ceive the red health bead for swimming the required hundred yards. A Craft exhibit was held by all the Camp Fires in the city, Saturday, Octo- ber 9, at Camp Desire. Many beauti- fully decorated ceremonial gowns and dainty evening dresses were on exhibi- tion. There were also many useful and ornamental articles in metal work, leath- er, stencil, and embroidery to be seen. Miss Merrill gave a short talk upon the various possibilities in decorating the ceremonial gowns. Camp Fire Desire gave a ghost party with invited boy friends at C amp Desire, Saturday, October 2. They arrayed themselves as ghosts and amused them- selves by playing follow-my-leader over the hills and dales. Later on in the day THE EASTERNER 17 they roasted chestnuts and toasted marsh- mallows around the open fire. On Wednesday, October 27, Pocahon- tas Camp Fire held a supper and council fire at Camp Desire. The boy guests enjoyed themselves very much by help- ing to cook the bacon and make the cocoa. At the council fire which was held in the tepee, poems were read relating to their trip to North Beach, and many honors were awarded. This was the first coun- cil meeting to be held in the tepee. Mrs. Daniel Taylor has been appointed guardian of the Potomac Camp Fire. The girls are indeed fortunate and delighted to have Mrs. Taylor at their head. Eastern has three more girls who have acquired the rank of Firemaker. They are: Madeline Hesse, of Camp Desire; Helen Loudenslager, of Ocela, and Helen White, of Pocahontas. Potomac Group held a baby party at camp Saturday, November 6. Several small children were taken along and studied, so that the girls might win hon- MANAGER JONSCHER ors in baby-craft.

WORIUSHAMW ESI eo MEN’S WEAR AND HATS FREE PARCEL POST DELIVERY 18 THE EASTERNER Military Two companies at last! Sweet music to the ears of all true Easternites. Yet, not two companies, either, for the ranks are by no means full. We need men! All of you able-bodied fellows who stay out for no gocd reason should be ashamed of yourselves and the school should and will be ashamed of you. Remember! Eastern needs you! Come out, and en- list as cadets, and help make our com- panies the best in the city and the pride of the school. Eastern will have Companies F and G of the Ist Regiment this year. They will be in the second battalion of that regiment. The officers of Company F are as follows: Captain, W. ©. Barkman; First Lieutenant, W. B. Douglass; Sec- ond Lieutenant, H. C. Graves; First Ser- geant, W. A. Gallahan; other sergeants in order of rank, H. S. Gates, C. Cook, W. F. Mengert, and F. R. Speer; Cor- porals, R. L. Baldwin, J. H. McAuliffe, Leo Janezeck, Burch, L. Ledoux, C. F. Chisholm. The officers of Company G are as fol- lows: Captain, C. M. Boteler; First Lieutenant, E. RHandy; Second Lieu- tenant, T. D. Gates; First Sergeant, E. G. Jonscher; other sergeants in order of rank, M. W. Summers, C. L. Simering, R. S. Childs, F. Stewart; Corporals, W. C. Himmler, S. W. Hardy, J. E. Burns, W. S. Small, Jr. There isn’t an officer in either company who is not fully acquainted with his duty or who will not execute that duty to the very best of his ability. Now, don’t let the officers do all of the work. Officers alone never make a winning company. They must have the hearty co-operation of every man in the ranks; they must have, during all drills, the undivided in- terest and attention of all their subordi- nates; and above all they must either have or win the respect and esteem of everyone, not only in their companies but in the whole school as well. Let's see if the cadets cannot furnish the co-opera- tion and interest, and the officers will do more than their share. But don't let the cadets do all the work. Let the school get behind the companies and support them as much as possible. Those boys who cannot or will not join should at least refrain from doing their best, or worst, to deter the progress of instruction. And then, the girls. You don’t have anything to do after school, girls. Why can’t you wait around school and watch the drills? If the cadets can afford to spend an hour and a half twice a week drilling, surely you can spend that much time watching them. You may not think it does any good to just stand around and look on. But it shows the men in the. companies that someone cares whether they drill well or not and that someone is interested in their work. If you realized how much it counts, you would be sure to come out every day. Can’t you take our word for it? Now, come out, fellows! Let’s have two 6-squad companies. Don’t wait until February! Do it now! Remember! Eastern needs you! So come on, men! “It’s up to you.” The High School Cadet Corps is divid- ed into two regiments this year, each under the command of a lieutenant- colonel. The officers of the corps as an- nounced are as follows Colonel, J. H. Fellows (Tech), Commander-in-Chief : Lieutenant-Colonel, E. L. Maier (East- erm), commanding Ist Regiment. The other regimental officers have not yet been announced. THE EASTERNER 19 Rifle Notes The Rifle Club has gotten a good start this year and the prospects for some good teams are very encouraging. The members are displaying a great amount of interest and, already, several excel- lent scores indicate a great improvement over last year. Rifle shooting is not generally appreciated, but affords much enjoyment for those who take an interest in it. At the last meeting of the club in June, 1915, officers for this year were elected. The officers elected were as follows: President, W. E. Barkman; vice-presi- dent, W. A. Gallahan; secretary, B. Gore; treasurer, T. F. English; captain, W. E. Barkman. As Gore has since left school, a new election had to be held and F. R. Speer was elected secretary. In former years Mr. Schwartz had always been unanimously elected presi- dent, but, as it is the custom in other schools to have a student president, he requested that the club refrain from re- nominating him. Much of the success of the club is due to the hard work and unfailing interest of Mr. Schwartz. We hope that the new president will be able to perform his duties half as well as Mr. Schwartz did. The students should remember that the Rifle Club is just as much a school ac- tivity as some other things and it needs their support even more. The rifle team’s battle is a silent one as far as human effort is concerned. There are no cheer- ing throngs on the rifle range to spur the team on to greater efforts. The only observers are the range officers and sub- stitutes. This should be taken note of and remembered, and the members of the club should be shown, by the interest which the school will take in their work, that what they are doing is appreciated. Let’s all root for the rifle teams and per- haps they will have something to show us this year. My dad went to New York the other day and stopped at a 26-story hotel. They gave him a room on the twenty-fifth floor. When he decided to go to bed one night, he said to.the clerk: “I’m going to my room now. If any one c alls for me, tell them T am out of town.” A certain distinguished author decided to build an addition to his house. A lot of bricks and mortar had been left on a vacant lot not far away. The author de- cided to be economical and used this. A friend caught him taking it and asked him what he was doing. “Oh, I’m just gathering material for a new story,” he replied.

No, no, dear reader, your supposition is incorrect. Perhaps we should have been more accurate and have said a “cow shed.” You are now completely mystified, of course. We will not keep you in suspense any longer, for we know how irritating it is. You all know our friend, Dr. Leineweber, who, by the way, has been a great traveler and has had interesting experiences in connec- tion with the present European war. Well, one day, this excellent in- structor was conducting a class in his usual interesting manner, when the attention of the class was di- verted by a loud bellowing from a far corner of the room. After a hasty examination of everything in the room, including the inkwells, the singular actions of one of the pupils attracted the attention of the instructor. Sus- pecting that this bellowing animal, which seemed to be a calf, might in reality be a biped, not far off, he proceeded to question the members of the class, with the result that the offender was dismissed. TAKEN BY OUR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER IN R The eminent doctor was heard to comment upon the situation in the following way “I have taught in Russia, I have taught in Switzer- land, and I have taught in France, but never in my experience as an instructor have I been called upon to educate a calf.” WANTED by the girl tennis players, a corps of small boys to chase balls.

Watch the North Court for Excitement One day last week, as the Scare- head Reporter was wearily wending his homeward way, he was startled by a great “racquet and balling” coming from the direction of the girls’ tennis court. Hastening to the scene of disas- ter, he witnessed a most heartrend: ing sight. There, writhing in agony, was one of the fair players, who seemed to have been seriously disabled. Our reporter was hys- terically greeted with cries of, “Help, assistance, succor!” Catch ing the limb of the nearest tree he vaulted gracefully into the wire inclosure. } No sooner had his feet touched terra firma than he was seized upon by the fair players and rushed to the side of their injured comrade. After much excited questioning, he managed to extract the information ee eee Scare Number One | PRICE, ONE JIT DOM 13 that the young lady had been vio- lently struck by a tennis ball while endeavoring to return the same.

After a hurried examination of the premises, a new light came into the eye of our representative. He calmly walked up to the patient suf- ferer and deftly removed from her sweater pocket the Jost ball. | Our Weekly Song Hit To the tune of “My Little Girl” Our Eastern dear, you see we're shout- ing, And we long for you to win; Our Eastern dear, please do some rout- ing , And thus increase the din.

An Unknown Celebrity in School Are you illustrious members of Eastern High School aware of the fact that we have a genius in our} midst? Not an ordinary genius like Thomas Edison, et cetera; but a celebrity, in other words, a poet.

THE EMERALD AISLE 22 THE EASTERNER (ow eS For France “Jeanne!” called the impatient voice of an old man, “Have you not yet gone? Hurry, girl, I tell you it is not safe to linger. I would have you back even now.” “Oui, mon pere, I go at once,” an- swered his daughter, appearing in the doorway with her hood, which she slipped on as she ran down the garden and out the gate. Had not old Monsieur Girard’s words still been in her ears, Jeanne would have found plenty of cause to linger on her way that morning. Never had she seen the little village of St. Pierre in such a state. It had been queer enough, back in the first weeks of the war, to see the groups gathered in the road or before the tavern, talking excitedly ; it had been queer enough to hear of battles and see some gay young wife come forth sadly in widow's dress—for St. Pierre had done its share in answering the call of France; Jeanne’s two brothers had been among the first to go, and already one commanded a company. Yes, St. Pierre had looked strange enough with its young men gone, but never so odd as on this morning. Many of the houses were closed and deserted; everywhere were families with great loads of furniture hurrying toward the western road; here and there were folk rushing about fran- tically to find some vehicle, whatever the kind, to carry their possessions—all were fleeing from the invader, who threat- ened so close at hand. Jeanne quickened her steps. Her aunt lived at the far end of the town, and might be leaving with the neighbors at any minute. She must be told not to go! But ere she reached the house, Jeanne met a sorry little cavalcade coming to- ward her. Her little cousins and various household articles were packed together in the old wagon; her aunt was walking before, leading the one horse they had left. “Oh, Aunt Marie,” called Jeanne as she came nearer, “Father sent me to tell you not to go away. He says the Ger- mans will more than likely hurry right through St. Pierre and on south.” “Does your father think I'll stay and see my house blown up under our very noses 2” came indignantly from the aunt. “Mais non, Tante Marie. Why should they shell St. Pierre when the whole re- gion is theirs? There is no one here to resist, and it is foolish to leave a com- fortable home for you know not what.” “Stay, then, an you choose, but I will go. If ’tis as you say, so much the bet- ter—we may return sooner. But we must be off now—stay, I forgot to lock the back shutter, and now those barba- rians will steal my jar of gateaux de sucre! I will not have them in the house! Ts there time to go back?” “T will close the shutter, aunt,” prom- ised Jeanne, almost laughing, and seeing that her aunt was bent on leaving. The girl walked slowly through her aunt’s old garden, looking sadly at the deserted house. War was cruel and ter- rible. Even now one of her brothers might be lying wounded on the field ; that last hollow boom of the cannon would cause misery in many homes. And why was it all? Her brothers had nothing to do with the quarrel for which they might have to give their lives. But France had called, and it was enough to know that France needed them. “Oh, if I could but do something, too!” Jeanne murmured, and, she knew not why, save that the gentle ripple of the little stream which ran beside her path seemed in harmony with her thoughts, she started home through the woods—a pleasanter, though longer route. “Helas! Of what good can I be to France here?” Jeanne stopped short in the midst of a sigh, and stood paralyzed with surprise. THE EASTERNER Almost at her feet lay a soldier—she noticed the french uniform in spite of the thick coat of dust which covered it How came he there? Had he been fh the battle and crept away wounded? Oh maybe he was dead—he did not stir! She crept closer to look in his face. How young he was—hardly more than a boy and when his mother ee It must have been the sudden tears that fell on his face that made him open his eyes, stare uncertainly for a moment, and then whisper barely audibly, “Water.” Oh, dear little stream, had it been run- ning all these years for this one purpose— to save a life for France? Jeanne ran down to the edge only to remember that she had nothing in which to carry the water. She searched madly in the grass for some stray can, but to no avail. Wouldn't her hands do? He must have some water! She made a cup, but by the time she reached the man’s side, all the water had run through her fingers. Blindly she seized his cap and rushed back to the stream, and this time returned with the water, which so re- vived the soldier that he managed to sit up. ; 2 “Je vous remercie. It is most fortu- nate for me that you happened by. Now I shall be able to destroy my despatches before I am taken prisoner.” He was fumbling at one of his pockets when Jeanne stopped him. — : “Destroy the despatches!” she cried. “Rather than have the enemy find them on me.” 23 “But why shou a8) you hide Deiehensae. find you?

Tried to get to the water, but must have fainted.” The young man leaned wearily against a tree after his long explanation, and once more reached in his pocket. “Mais non, monsieur,’ Jeanne pleaded. “We can hide you. There will be some way. Try to come with me. This path goes right through our orchard, and we pass no houses on the way. Je vous prie, venez. “But—I might not reach there, and the Germans would get the map, and—” Jeanne stamped her foot impatiently. “Will you deny me the one thing I can do for France?” Monsieur pulled him- self up at this. “I am strong; lean on me, and let us hurry.” The distant rum- bling of cannon had ceased as suddenly as it had begun; each moment the Ger- man troops were coming nearer. At first the soldier endeavored to bear but lightly on the girl’s shoulder, but at each step he grew weaker and uncon- sciously tightened his grasp until she felt that she must cry with pain. Yet it was impossible for him to use his wound- ed leg; she would keep on if he could— oh, could he! “Just a few steps farther, monsieur. There is the house, just through the garden.” Before she finished speaking, mon- sieur’s hand had slipped down and he sank to the ground. “T—cannot,” he whispered Burn my 2 But Jeanne was flying to the house. “Father! One of our men—a despatch bearer—is in the garden wounded,” she gasped hastily. “We must bring him in—quick !” It was hard work, even with M. Gi- rard’s help, for the boy had fainted again, but somehow they dragged him into the house, where Jeanne hurried through the whole story for her father. weakly. 24 “And now, where to hide him?” she mused. M. Girard shook his wise old head. “He cannot be hid; they will look every- where. We will take him upstairs and hide his suit. Say he is my son, and sick,” Slowly, bravely, they bore their burden up the stairs. Even when he was laid across the bed in Jeanne’s room, which was nearest the stairway, he did not come out of his swoon, and maybe, Jeanne told herself sadly—maybe he nev er would. While M. Girard was finding hiding places for the dusty army clothes, Jeanne kept an anxious watch at the window. “I have it!” she cried suddenly. “They'd wonder at a boy in a room with such pictures and ribbons, but a girl— Laughing a little hysterically she ran to a drawer and pulled out a long, thick braid. She was glad now that she had had her hair cut that summer she had the fever. With a dainty nightcap cov- ering his hair and the thick braid on the coverlet, the boy looked his part per- fectly. A sharp rap at the door below made Jeanne start violently. “Mordieu!” gasped monsieur, peeping through the window. “Ouvres la porte,” came in gruff tones. “Go down,” whispered the girl. “Tell them to come softly. My sister is ill. Remember—it is for France.” “For France,” nodded the father. When at last Jeanne heard the heavy steps upon the stair, her heart seemed to knock even louder. She glanced hastily at the pillow. What if he should wake, and be delirious? The door opened and two tall German officers entered. “Sh!” whispered Jeanne, nodding to- wards the bed. “She is asleep.” The officers were not to be balked by any tricks, but the braid and cap seemed to prove the father’s words. The room had been darkened, and one of the men went to the window by the bed. Jeanne steadied herself against the bureau. When the light fell across the bed they would see—all would be lost. By some chance, THE EASTERNER however, the shutter stuck, and the sol- dier turned and flung open the one across the room, while the other looked in the closets and under the bed. Strangely enough, they gave little thought to the still figure on the pillow; they were in a hurry, and had other houses to search, and so it was not long before the door closed after them. The rest of the day Jeanne remem- bered only indistinctly—her father boldly going for the old town doctor, she her- self helping him when he bandaged up their soldier's wound, and all day long outside the constant tramp, tramp of the German troops. Suddenly everything seemed to slip into darkness, and long, long after, it seemed, Jeanne awakened to find her father standing near, and the early morning sun coming through the curtains. “Our patient does well,” monsieur smiled. “He has told us that he is Jules Dénis, from Ardennes. Will you make the doctor a cup of coffee before he goes?” From then on M. Dénis lacked no com- fort which Jeanne could bestow, and the result was that he rapidly got stronger. In those days the Germans and French were both trying to get a strong footing somewhere, and so it was not surprising when the French forces came back over the same ground and passed near St. Pierre. Jules insisted that he was now per- fectly able to rejoin his regiment. It was down in the little garden that he found Jeanne. “T do not know how to thank you,” he said simply, as he took her hand, “But when the war is over I will come back— and then?” his dark eyes were full of meaning. The girl watched him go sturdily down the road with a mist in her eyes. He was going out to fight, very likely she would never see him again. But as she turned back toward the peaceful old cottage her face brightened. “He will come back,” she mused happily. RoseMAry ARNOLD, ’17.

This is the age of the trained man and the trained woman. That is the thing I want to write on your hearts. There was a time in this country when opportunities were so great, and when there was so much to be done, that any man or woman who had a good heart and a good character and a strong right arm might achieve a certair degree of suc- cess. I am not saying that this time has entirely passed. I hope that it will be long before it has entirely passed. But this I am saying to you, that if I were a young man or a young woman going THE EASTERNER We are very sorry to announce the death of Arthur B, Richardson, of the class of 1908. The announcement of the marriage of Robert Whitney and Miss Hayden has been made. CarnecGie INSTITUTE OF TECH NOLOGY Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 23, 1915. To THe EASTERNER: We were exceedingly glad to hear that Eastern has two companies this year and that an Eastern man received the com- mission of lieutenant-colonel of the regi- ment. We wish to cangratulate Maier, 3oteler, and Barkman, and those who have striven to bring a new company to Eastern this year. Quality is always better than quantity, but when one has both, one may feel doubly sure of suc- cess. Although we are many miles away we often think of “Dear Old Eastern.” Boys, make this year Eastern’s banner year, and when you graduate, be sure to go to Carnegie Tech, the best engineer- ing school in the country.

I tell you to- day, that the tragedy of modern life is the tragedy of the half-educated man or woman; it is the tragedy of the man or woman who wants to do something and can do nothing well. Hamitton W. Master. Watch for a continuation of the above thought in the next issue. THE EASTERNER 27 Dramatics ee We are very unfortunate this year in having lost the chairman of our Dra- matic Society. Miss McColm devoted a great deal of time to the advancement of this activity and we deeply appreciate all that she has done for us. Our club has not been organized yet, as Dr. Small has not appointed a new chairman, but we hope to start Operations very soon for a busy and successful year. — Dramatics will probably be empha- sized this year on account of the Shakes- perean festival which will occur next spring. As in former years, the greater part of the work will fall to the lot of the seniors, but the other classes will come in for their share as well. The other high schools of the District have already organized for the year. The Dramatic Society at McKinley High School is given a charter by the general organization, the body which controls the activities of the school. Members of the faculty are appointed as advisers of the club. Plays are given once in five or six weeks for the benefit of the members of the society. Anyone who has ability can take part in the Spring Play whether a member or not. Western expects to present a play once a month this year. This is a very fine showing considering that they have been at a very great disadvantage since the fire two years ago. In spite of this se- rious handicap they have managed to produce a Spring Play each year under ioe me Dramatic Society. etndctied ate cd advisers and is sant much the same way as our - The Business High School con- ducts its Dramatic Society in a manner quite in keeping with the character of the school. Last year short plays were given once a month under the direction of the faculty advisers. An admission fee of 4 cents was charged, which went toward the support of the club. Business has been a member of the Drama League since last year. Central's Dramatic Society is under the direction of the members of the fac- ulty and school officers. Their plays are not given at regular intervals but as often as is convenient. They have been affili- ated with the Drama League for nearly two years. No plans have been made as yet for the presentation of a play this year, but arrangements will probably be made in the near future. From all this we see that what the other schools are doing is not so very different from what we are doing our- selves. We are far behind them this year in getting together, but we shall probably get better results in not going at it too hastily. Let us all remember that our Dramatic Society is an activity of the school, just as much as athletics. military affairs, the bank, or any other school interest; and it is our pleasant duty to give it our loyal support, and do all in our power to make it a success. SSA} A Toast to the Football Team Here’s to Eastern’s football team, The “boys from Capitol Hill.” They may lack a little in avoirdupois, But nothing in speed or skill. Here’s to Eastern’s football team, When things go wrong, the harder they work, And never a man of that brave little squad, Has been known his duty to shirk. Here’s to Eastern’s football team, Let’s cheer them “seven times seven,” For all cheers are well deserved By each “back” on the football eleven. Here’s to Eastern’s football team, To the captain and to all. Here's to a hope that they win every game When they try again next fall —Helen Smith, 716. 28 THE EASTERNER In this, our first issue of Tue East- ERNER, we shall devote this department entirely to the school papers of the other four high schools. It is really surprising how little we know concerning the other high school papers of our own city of Washington, and we think that information relative to them will be of general interest. The other papers are: Tech Life, Technical High School. Balance Sheet, Business High School. Review, Central High School. Western, Western High School. The Tech Life, which is issued bi- weekly by the students of Technical High School, is in the form of a newspaper, and, like a newspaper, is sold by the sin- gle copy for 1 cent. The paper contains news of the various activities of the school, as well as notes of the happenings of importance in the other high schools. The business management of the Tech Life has inaugurated a new system of selling the paper, that is, sending out copies of the paper to the several high schools to be placed on sale there. We congratulate you, Tech, on your inter- esting paper. The Balance Sheet, published in the interests of the Business High School, is a monthly. The subscription price is 50 cents, but it may be bought for 10 cents a copy. The Balance Sheet of last year is remembered for its excellent car- toons. Aside from the Balance Sheet, Business is putting out a bi-weekly paper, the Ledger. The newly-organized “Class in Journalism” comprises the staff of the new paper, but the business management is the same as that of the Balance Sheet. An interesting thing about the Ledger is that it is printed at the Business High School by the pupils. We wish you the greatest success in your new venture, Business! The IWestern, coming from our friends from “across the creek,” is issued once a month. The present staff of the paper hoped to change it from a monthly to a bi-weekly, but this plan was not success- ful. The paper is 60 cents a year, al- though it may be bought for 10 cents a copy. Our best wishes, Western, for a successful year. The Review, the school paper of the Central High School, is a monthly publi- cation like the Western. A year's sub- scription to the paper may be had for 50 cents, but single copies are sold at 10 cents. One of the best features of the Review of last year was the interesting stories contributed by the pupils of the school. We congratulate you, Central, on your past success, and wish you well for the future.

Business outweighed Eastern 10 pounds to the man, and had the more experienced team and better plays, yet was pushed to the limit to win. The breaking up of Business’ off tackle plays by Eastern’s tackles and ends was the surprise of the game. Lanahan, Steltz, Sherfy and Sweeney played well for Eastern, while Wise and Dowrick showed up best for Business. Business scored its lone touch-down on a well executed triple pass, followed by two line smashing plays. This was the only time Business got away with the triple pass in the game, the runner being stopped in his tracks every succeeding time. Eastern Positions Business German . LE ..Dowrick Steltz .

Tech and Business both have this system of self-government, and we believe that it would prove a suc- cess here. As a result of the general organization at Tech and 3usiness, school activities are prospering more than ever. School activities at Eastern need a boost, and a big one, right now. We believe that student self-govern- ment would effect this change. The Alumni We have heard very many com- plaints from the alumni, who are in- terested in the school, concerning foot ball and base ball tickets. A good many alumni who wished to follow up Eastern’s games endeavored to pur- chase season tickets, but were unable to do so. This is a condition which should be remedied at once. If we ex- pect to hold the interest of the Alumni Association in Eastern we must show the members of the Alumni Associa- tion that we are interested in them. Why not season tickets for the alumni? Basket Ball Once again basket ball occupies the center of the athletic stage, and this year promises much. The games are to be played at the Arcade, one every Tuesday and two every Friday, mencing December 17. For admissi a fee of five cents will be charged, and dancing will follow each game at no additional charge. The league consists of the following teams: Western, Business, Central, Army-Navy Preps, St. Albans, and Eastern. Tech will be a member of the league next year, and the sport will then probably be a major one. Eastern will have an inexperienced five this year. Fifteen to twenty fel- lows have been practicing every day, however, and if work counts for any- thing the team should be successful. Here’s hoping for a good season! Take a Chance You will see by this issue that we have progressed somewhat since our last appearance. That's what we're go- ing to keep on doing. But we want some more stories—good ones—and some more jokes. If your story or bit of news or joke is good, it will no doubt be accepted. Take a chance, and hand in a few of them. Greetings, Alumni ! Once again do we find ourselves shaking hands and renewing acquaint- ance with the alumni. And we are mighty glad to do it, too. Eastern’s reputation has been made by these same men and women of past classes and we always like to be among the first to greet them when they pay us @ visit. Let’s give them a royal wel- come this Christmas! Merry Christmas ! We don’t know how you feel about it, but we have a queer feeling every time we think of Christmas. Maybe it's due to the thought of ten long days with nothing to grind on, but we are inclined to: think that it’s just the time of the year, the exuberance of spirits—in short, just Christmas. Fig- uring it this way, we intend to have a very merry Christmas, and we sincere- ly hope that you will have a merrier one, and a happier New Year, too. The season's greetings to you all!

He told us of the di quirements necessary for a b come a first-class scout, anda of the good work the scouts are oe He urged the boys to Jom, especially now, for they are carrying on an en- listment campaign in this city at the present time. A second EASTERNER rally was held in the Assembly Hall on November 19. Editor-in-Chief Boteler thanked the students for the support they had given him, and the rest of the East- ERNER staff, and urged them to keep up the good work. Assistant Manager English also talked to us from the business point of view, and asked all the students who had not subscribed to do so, and urged everyone to try to get as many outside subscriptions as possible. It would generally be appreciated by the whole school if the drill hall could be opened at noon at least twice a week during the cold weather in order that we may keep warm by dancing. On the evening of December 3 a dance was given in the drill hall by the officers of Companies F and G. The dance was a great success and every- one had a good time. ‘ Mr. Cogswell would like very much to see all of the students who promised him that they would lend their talent and a little of their time each week am STERNER ward forming a school orchestra, eo up to the rehearsals. The stitieers generally would appreciate a schoo] Nts chestra.

The girls enjoyed playing the usual games and pranks customary on such occa- sions, and were especially delighted with a mystic kettle, containing for- tunes, which told the girls what to look for. They were Permitted to search the house from cellar to garret. Camp-Fire Desire spent the Friday after Thanksgiving at Camp Desire. At the ceremonial meeting held in the teepee, six new members were taken in. An assistant state forester from Vermont gave the fire talk. An interesting exhibition of beauti- fully stencilled and wood-blocked ar- ticles was held at the home of Miss Bush-Brown on Tuesday, November 23. The purpose was to give the girls some ideas of the possibilities of deco- ration along those lines. Some of the Camp-Fires are thinking of studying stenciling and wood-blocking as a means of ornamentation for the cere- monial gowns. Raymond Simpson, an alumnus of Eastern, and now a medical student, gave an interesting lesson on first aid to Camp-Fire Desire on Saturday, De- cember 4. Potomac Camp-Fire held a sale of cookies and sweets at school Friday, December 10. Margaret Runbeck, of Ocela Camp- Fire, has acquired the rank of Fire- maker. She has also won a Shuta na- tional honor for an Indian legend writ- ten in the meter of Hiawatha. Philologian On November 27 the Philologian Society held a very successful dance in the drill hall of the school. Many of the alumni were with us, and all present enjoyed the evening. Members of the society are working on a debate, which will be given be- fore the school some time in the near future. Plans for a Christmas dance are be- ing completed. A large attendance is expected, and all expect a good time. Friendship Club Quite a number of Eastern girls are enthusiastic members of the Eastern High School Friendship Club. This club, in connection with the clubs of the other high schools, form the Wash- ington Council of Friendship Clubs, which is a branch of the Y. W. C. A. Early in the fall the Eastern girls had the jolliest kind of a time at a Slumber Party at Vacation Lodge. They went out one Friday after school and spent the night in the country. On November 12 they gave a fresh- man party to which all the freshmen were invited, and asked to join the club. A clever little stunt was given. Dancing and games were enjoyed. At Christmas the girls expect to trim a tree and fill stockings for a family of little children. On December 4 a Council meeting was held at the Y. W. C. A. rooms. Miss Buchler explained to the girls their duties as members. Several East- ern girls took part in the stunts that were given. THE E 10 December 9 the president represen ed Eastern in the V.

An’ seein’ as “Henerie” means me, I run quick an’ left the rest o’ the logs fer Jim to split. Well, Frenchy caught my eye, first thing. He caught Sis’, too, I'll bet. Anyway, he’s one o’ these tall gawky fellers that calls themselves slender, you know, an’ his hair was all slicked back tight like Sis fixes mine—when I let her. An’ his hands! My stars! They was as soft ’n’ pink! Id ‘a’ like to ’a’ seen him chop kindlin’, I would, or hoe just one row o’ taters. An’ he shook hands like the Methodist min- ester, too. But, I could ’a’ stood all of ‘em if it hadn’t been fer the Charlie Chaplin’ mustache part; that sure did look like one of his eyebrows had slipped down apiece. But Sis! Gee! She liked the Charlie Chaplin part, ‘n’ the slicked hair ’n’ all, I guess, ‘cause when Uncle Mac introduced ‘em to each other, he bent over Sis’ hand so graceful and then he gave her such a look—oh, you know, one o’ them long, wistful looks like’s in the movies—any- way Sis’, she blushes all pink up to the roots of her hair. My! I bet she was glad she crimped it that mornin’. I'm most mighty slow when it comes to figgerin’ in school, but most any dummy could ’a’ put two ‘n’ two to- gether an’ got four in the case of Sis ’n’ Frenchy. “Frenchy” wasn’t his right name at all, but that’s what me’n Jim calls him, ‘cause we can't never ‘member his 66 Frenchy Comes a-Huntin’” 11 other Pe an’ if we could ‘member it, we couldn’t say it, anyway. ’s the difference? MERE Paki We all was mighty s’prised when Frenchy came ‘cause we were just ex- pectin’ Uncle Mac and Mr. Barry for a sort o’ huntin’ party, you know, ’n’ ma most had fits on account of Frenchy comin’ so unexpected. See? But, Sis, she didn’t have no fits; least-a-ways not the same kind as ma most had. She hurried ‘round like sixty a-fixin’ things up like girls is bound to do, a-stickin’ some holly back o’ pa’s picture ’n’ a piece o’ mistletoe here’n there, not, of course, where anyone could stand under it. I liked to died laughin’ at the dinner table that first night. You see, Sis took a little bit of French last year over to Slippery Rock Normal ’n’ she thought she’d try Frenchy ’n’ see could he speil off his mother tongue. It was one o’ them times when the ball 0’ con- versation just naturally stops rollin’, you know, ’n’ Sis she says, “Pass a ma le burr, silly vu play.” I don’t guess that’s the way Sis would ’a’ spelled the stuff, but it sounded like Chinese or Hebrew to me. Well, sir, that sort o° got Frenchy started. Before, he'd been, oh, sort o’ quiet, exceptin’ the looks that he sent Sis crost the table, ‘n’ they said moren’ most any words could ’a’ said. Anyway he got wound up in French ’n’ poor Sis only knew a wee little bit ’n’ she couldn’t keep up with him ’n’ she just bit her lips ’n’ got red again up to the roots o’ her hair. ‘N’ all the time I was a-thinkin’, “Serves you right, old smarty!” Only Sis got the best o’ the bargain in the end, ‘cause Frenchy 'n’ her goes off to the parlor with some kind o’ a French novel ’n’ we don’t hear nothin’ from them for the rest o’ the evening. Well, next mornin’ ’fore daylight we all set out with our guns ’n’ hounds.

I could just live forever curled up in front of the fire with a couple of them books, ‘n’ never stop fer nothin’, not even when ma has buckwheat cakes fer breakfast.” N’ Frenchy he just laugh- ed ’n’ laughed “n’ he’s got a dimple ’n’ the purtiest white, even teeth, all o° which I bet Sis took down in the first mental photograph. 'N then I says, “‘N’ Sis said she bet they was some old ten-cent novel kind o’ stories, ‘n’ one night Sis got to readin’ the first book ’n’ I swan if she didn’t read till Dad made her stop ‘n’ go to bed. But Sis says she admires the feller what thinks all them things out moren’ she does Wanderin’ Mike.

N’ she did i 4 Ma always did say as how the wa rp a man’s heart was through his ste 4 ach. If there’s anything in that “Sis sure was makin’ a home a, for preachy s heart, for she had one erat chicken supper that night. The chick en was made a’ la Maryland, but that name was just raked up from seh. where in honor of Frenchy, most riled from that there French novel that che got so int’rested in t’ other night Anyway, the chicken tasted the same Orship, yor teen Iges, THE EASTERNER old way. Well, Frenchy got the piece with wish-bone and I was nigh bustin’ to pull it, ‘cause I wanted to wish fer a Flexible Flyer fer Christmas, 'n’ so when Frenchy holds it up in his soft white hands n’ asks, “Who wants to wish. W ho wants to pull the lucky bone with me I pipes up, “I do! T do!’ But Sis she gave me a meaning kick under the table ’n’ then of course I just naturally shut up. Well, I guess Frenchy wanted Sis to wish with him bout as bad as Sis wanted to wish, for he held it across to Sis ‘n’ they both shut their lips real tight ‘n’ Frenchy looked at Sis, ’n’ Sis looked at Frenchy ‘n’ they wished powerful hard. ’N’ I bet I could guess what they wished, too. Sis is forever sayin’ that little pitchers have big ears, but she most always forgets to figure on little pota- toes havin’ big eyes. The moon was a great, gold, full one that night ’n’ everything was beautiful ‘n’ soft ’n’ yellow. Frenchy was bound Sis was comin’ along, but Sis wasn’t no suffragette ‘n’ didn’t believe in goin’ huntin’. She thought that was one of man’s pleasures. We made Frenchy come along anyway. This time we went up in Ole Man Shoos- ter’s woods, where the game was thick this season. The moon beams made all kinds of funny pictures on the ground ’n’ fer all it was mighty purty, it was kind o’ skeery, too. We'd been up in Shooster’s woods ‘hout an hour, I reckon, ‘cause the moon was real high in the sky, when Frenchy wandered away from the bunch of us. But seein’ as how Frenchy’s a grown man about twenty-six OF twenty-seven, we guess- ed he could take care: of himself all right. ’N’ it was such fun a-chasin’ those little beady-eyed, furry raccoons that we almost forgot about Frenchy til] we heard a gun fired ‘n’ then an awful yell that came through the moonlit woods like an electric shot. I was the one that found him. I couldn’t see no bullet holes, but Frenchy was layin’ white ‘n’ still up against a big pine. I tell you, I was of 13 sca iff. f et ey, I was. I forgot all about ai va ic Chaplin mustache ’n’ the a 7 nite hands that couldn't hoe po- fae or chop kindlin’. All I could think of was the handsome picture he made in his hunting suit, so tall ‘n’ “Frenchy was layin’ white ‘n’ still up against � big pine” strong-like, ‘n’ it made a big lump stick in my throat to see him layin’ there so still and helpless against the glistening snow. Pa ‘’n’ Uncle Mac got him home be- tween them ’n’ Sis fixed him up. (You see, after Sis finished High School she started to take a nurse’s course ‘n’ changed her mind.) Anyway, Doc Truitt came ‘round to see Frenchy, ‘n’ although he couldn't find much the matter with him, he said he’d best rest a couple o’ weeks, ‘cause his constitu- tion was overworked, or somethin’ like that. Frenchy didn’t mind a bit. He just looked at Sis ‘n’ sighed ‘n’ says, “How perfectly unfortunate for you, Miss Greer, I shall probably be both- ering you until Christmas.” I didn’t hear Sis’ answer, but I never was quite about that sigh o’ Frenchy's bein’ one o’ sorrow. Well, of course, Sis played nurse. ’N’ Christmas times comes around ’n’ while Frenchy’s nerves ‘ny’ constitution’s quite almost recovered, he doesn’t feel strong enough to go home as far as New York. So he stayed. N’ while he was recuperatin’ Sis read books to him that she got at the Carnegie Library, but, one day, when I brought Frenchy some mail, what do you s’pose they was a-readin’ ? soon 14 : «Adventures ot eap trash, : Wy ches? 5 my? they Was ay and : Meni in! ‘n’ laughin’.

Shaner THE EASTERNER Eastern ended her foot ball season when the team was defeated by Tech- nical in a game which was marred by fumbling and by many penalties. This victory gave Technical the champion- ship and the permanent possession of the Princeton Alumni Cup. Although outweighted by a experienced eleven, Eastern fought hard throughout the whole game. Technical scored her touchdowns as follows: Captain Lanahan kicked off, and upon receiving the ball, Tech started a march down the field, but Eastern held on the 20-yard line. On our first play we fumbled and Tech- nical recovered the ball. Once again Technical was stopped, but on an at- tempt to kick, the ball was passed be- yond the reach of our kicker, and it was Tech’s ball on our 4-yard line. Technical shoved the ball across the line on her second play. The second touchdown was made at the beginning of the second half, when receiving the ball on the kick-off, Technical made a steady advance down the field and scored in a few minutes. After this our fellows played their best. Aided by many penalties inflict ed upon Tech, Eastern twice got near enough to the goal line to attempt drop kicks, both of which were made by more 15 Flaherty. One from the 30-yard line was blocked, and the other made from the 40-yard line had plenty of distance but was a little wide. ; : Captain Lanahan, Sweeney and Sherfy excelled for Eastern.

WEST, 800 7th St. N. W., Cor. H THE EASTERNER Now is the time to start the hard work. The uni- forms have come. It seems that the cadets have been waiting for the time when the uniforms are “ordered out” to get down to real, hard work. And you can’t blame the cadets for not doing their best, nor can you blame the school for not taking much interest in them. It is the most uninteresting thing imaginable to march around in civilian clothes, and it is equally unin- teresting to watch a company no two members of which are dressed alike. And then, too, there has been a lax- ness in the execution of commands by both companies. The men know how to do the movements and they do them, but the manner of performance can and must be improved a great deal. The men lack “pep.” That is, they walk along as if they were half dead. There is no life in their motions. They seem to take no interest in what they are doing, and by their mistakes discourage the other men in their own endeavors. But now that we have our uniforms, let’s all work together and try to accomplish something each day toward advancement on the road to perfection. Work with the rifles has not been started yet because of some difficulty in obtaining more of them. On ac count of the increased number of en- listments, many more rifles must be procured, before instruction in the manual of arms may be started. It is 7 hoped that we may get our rifles some time soon, be- cause they will make the cadet work more interest- ing and will attract more recruits in February. Most of the drilling which has been done this far has been on movements in the school of the squad. From now on the work will be more comprehensive and the interest in the companies on the part of the members of the school should in- crease rapidly. : As a result of competitive examina- tion held recently, Sergeants Summers and H. Gates have received commis- sions on the staff of the battalion. Summers is Battalion Adjutant, with the rank of a first lieutenant, and Gates is Battalion Quartermaster, with the rank of a second lieutenant. To fill the vacated offices, the former third, fourth, and fifth sergeants of each com- pany were promoted ; Corporals Bald- win and Himmler were promoted to the rank of sergeants, and Privates G. W. and T. F. English were promoted to the rank of cerporal. In consequence of the above, East- ern now has nine commissioned offi- cers, another reason for joining the companies, as these offices will have to be refilled next fall. On December 3 a dance was held in the drill hall by the officers of F and G About twenty-nine couples were pres- ent and a very enjoyable time was had by all. THE EASTERNER 18 Philologian Society gave the two companies a feed ea the afternoon of December 6. “Loa sandwiches” and dancing W ere the ob der of the afternoon. The officers ant men of the companies certainly do thank the girls for this treat. ! Keep it up, girl The girls of the 2 Rifle Notes a record of only one perfect Against ason of last score during the whole se year, two ribbons have already been awarded this year for the required 50. Several other members are gradually climbing toward the goal, and it is hoped that more ribbons will be pre- sented in the near future. In addition to these, several qualifications for the Proficient Shot's Ribbon and_ the Junior Marksman’s Button have been made. This is very encouraging to those who have this activity in charge. It indicates an advance in proficiency over last year and it indicates a good showing for the inter-school meets. The rifle club has been practicing on both Tuesday and Friday until four o'clock, but as this offers a great hin- drance to basket ball, it has been de- cided to have a very short practice on one of these days so as to let the play- ers in early and to allow them to re- main as long as they wish on the other In this way it is hoped that the difficulty will be eliminated and that both activities will have plenty of time. On Saturday, December 4, the mem- all the high school rifle clubs day. bers of long Gud Short of it were invited to go down to Winthrop, Maryland, to practice rifle shooting on the Marine Corps range. Transporta- tion on a government tug was pro- vided free of charge and everything else was free except dinner, which cost but ten cents. Those who went en- joyed the trip immensely and endeay- ored to show themselves grateful for the invitation. AT CAMP DESIRE TEPEE THE EASTERNER The Alumni Association The Alumni Association has been in existence ever since there have been any alumni, but it was reorganized in 1907. There seems to be more interest taken now by the alumni than ever before. The Association has not yet perfect- ed all of its plans for the year, but these are some that it has in view: First, the Christmas Reunion, which is to be held the day before the holidays the usual business meeting first then the enjoyment of dancing and refresh- ments in the drill hall. Second, the publication of the first issue of the Alumni Bulletin, a paper which is de- yoted to the interests of the school, its students and graduates. Third, a the- ater benefit, to be given at one of the Jocal theaters in the spring. Fourth, the Moonlight Excursion in June. Fifth, the Alumni gold medal, which is to be presented at the commence- ment exercises to that graduate noted by the faculty as having done the most for the school during the four years. No other definite announcements can be made now. The Alumni Association deserves and urges the support of the student body in all its undertakings. It is your Alumni Association and it is working in the interest of your school and theirs. Be loyal, Easterners, and give them your support. Stanley B. Smith, of the class of 1912, has been elected one of the twenty-two men from the forty-four highest in the Senior Class to the membership of the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard College.

The author wiped the cold sweat from his brow and loos- ened his collar. Slowly he started up the flights of stairs leading to the Assembly Hall, for from there the noise seemed to be coming. At the second flight, the author stop- ped and reeled back against the wall. The terrible blood-curdling sound again smote upon his ears. This time it grew seeming to raise the very roof in its agony. A white and terror-stricken crowd gathered at the assembly door. They tried to gather courage enough to pull the door wide open and see what fearful monster was thusly bellowing. But at every outburst from within the crowd was reeled backward, and their cour- age sank. At last the author, stop-| ping at the head of the stairway for a drink of cold water, summoned | up courage. Boldly he walked up glances of the to the door, amid the admiring 13 gathered people.

A well-defined run.or is going the rounds to the effect that a new Burke outline has been prepared by some loyal senior, and that nineteen of the fourth-year people have se- cured copies. When asked by our reporter what she thought of the change, Miss Gardner stated that the news came as a relief. She said that she has corrected the same out- lines in each succeeding senior cl for eight years now, and that it is ibout time a change was effected. Our reporter is endeavoring to locate the senior who made this out- line, but so far has been unsuccess- ful. If he is located he should be awarded the Alumni Medal by a unanimous vote, as no other senior can possibly do as much for his class or his school as this has done. ss Attempted Ro DARING ATTACK Mystery of Two New Wi A daring robbery in our yéry midst was attempted in the ke part of this month. It deveits that the bank officials who foiled the attempt endeavored, through modesty, to hush the matter up but one of our energetic reporters, by means of a little detective work, solved the mystery. At two o'clock in the morning of December 4, Mr. Catella, and two, of his assistants, Taylor and Bur ton, were hard at work solving the difference of three cents in Dede’ account. They heard a_ noise. Sh-h!—Hands up! came the com- mand, from one of two masked fig- ures. But Mr. Catella’s fighting blood was up. With a mighty leap mbery in Bank ILED BY OFFICERS ows Solved by Reporter he cleare tween himself : : grasped the surprised ruffan with no gentle hands and hurled him through the wall into the corridor! At the same time Taylor and Bur- ton, by means of a little team work, treated the other would-be robber in the same way. Both men made a get-away, but there were two gap- ing holes in what had been a per- fectly good wall. What to do? Ah!—a sudden idea struck the fer- tile mind of the great banker- Why not make the holes into windows, and have a REAL bank with three windows? And that is what was done, and as a result today in the Eastern High School we have the largest bank on this block. and the villain, d the short distance be- | THE EASTERNER ee ee Scare Number Two Numper 2 GHESS AND CHECKER CANDIDATES CALLED OUT Summers Heads New Activity Milo Whitney Summers has been elected president of the Eastern Chess and Checker Club, His vote was the deciding one. There was no opposing candidate. When inter- viewed by our reporter, Mr. Sum- mers stated that the new activity would probably be placed on the same plane with foot ball and base ball in the near future. Later, Mr. Wallis, chairman of the athletic council, denied this. He said that owing to the extreme Toughness of the game it would not be officially sanctioned by the coun- cil for the time being. Only three men were killed in high school foot ball last season, while nine kings of the board met their doom. If the game of checkers can be played with less roughness, and if a little more enthusiasm in cheering were shown, the sport may stick. THE BLOW THAT MOST KILLED FATHER Tack o!

THE EASTERNER Annette looked at the brilliant array of children’s toys, glittering with tin- sel and bedecked with holly, that was spread before her. Day in and day out she must sell the beautiful things to people whose children were already overburdened with playthings, and day in and day out she must return to the boarding-house and the little lame brother, empty-handed. She had en- viously watched a certain little pair of crutches. How she had longed to get them for Sonny at Christmas time! And then the board money fell due, and the pitiful little bit that was left would not bty one-third of the little crutches. So she had bought him a box of paints and pictures, and the lit- tle brother would have to wait. The jam of shoppers was over and only a straggling few remained, seeking bar- gains just before closing time. An- nette dropped wearily on a stool and buried her golden head in her arms. It was so hard since the mother had died, so hard to make ends meet on the small salary she received. “Well, well, what's the matter?” a pleasant asked, and jumped up in confusion. A tall, sun- voice Annette burned young man in a brown overcoat and a soft felt hat stood looking at her questioningly. “Yes, sir, what is it you want?” “I want to know what the matter is? Can't I help?” “Oh! Indeed no!” “Well, I want ten yards of holly ribbon.” As he reached for the package, An- nette noticed the beautiful diamond ring that sparkled on his little finger. “Thank you,” with a friendly and disappear nette looked “lh Sonny smiled the man, and nod he tipped his hat ared in the crowd.

How good the cold air felt after the close atmosphere of the department store. Everywhere ceo were buying, buying, buying! suying flowers from venders under singing oil lamps, buying crowsfoot and holly from purplée-nosed urchins “Stop, for heaven's sake stop!” who stamped up and down the side- walk to keep warm. Annette pulled her collar closer around her throat, for a filmy snow was beginning to fall, and started across the street. She never knew just how it happened. There was the loud “honk” of a big car, the blinding lights, a great pain in her ankle, and then utter darkness. Vaguely she remembered a familiar voice cry, “Stop, for heaven’s sake, stop!” but all else was blank. Some time later Annette woke in a white room, every- thing white, white curtains, white walls, a white bed and a white-robed nurse bending over her. She tried to sit up, but the terrible pain in her foot made her quickly lie down again. 24 “What has happened? Where am I? Oh, what does it mean!” And two tearful blue eyes were raised to the nurse’s face. : “You were struck by an automobile while trying to cross the street. Don't you remember?” The nurse stroked the soft hair soothingly. i ‘But Sonny! The Paints! Oh!” and Annette turned her head and sobbed into the soft white pillow. Slowly she told the nurse how the little brother was patiently waiting for Santa at the dingy boarding-house. After awhile the nurse slipped from the room, and Annette lay with her eyes closed. she could have seen the waiting-room of the hospital about that time she would have opened them in astonish- ment. The nurse was talking to a white-faced man in a brown overcoat. “THe’s at the boarding-house,” giving the address, “and she wants to see him, and so bring him here. He may stay until she leaves.” A little later a big car stopped before a dingy boarding-house on Pine street, and a frightened little boy was bundled off to the big hospital. It was three months since that eventful Christmas Eve. Annette sat on the edge of the big Morris chair in the waiting room of the hospital, ner- vously fingering her gloves. Herbert Ramey, for such was the name of the young man of the brown overcoat, Stood tense and still beside her chair. How vividly the past months stood out before her. She remembered the kind attention, the flowers, books and candy that had cheered her while the broken ankle healed. She remembered the devotion shown to little Sonny, and she remembered more vividly than all the rest the rest of the night that Herbert Ramey told her about Sonny. He had talked to the doctors, and they were sure that an operation would cure him. It would be a serious one, they admitted, but such had been perform- ed before, and they were certain of success. How she protested! “Sonny doesn‘t suffer,” she had pleaded, “and I shall always always take care of him.” “But,” Ramey had argued, “if THE EASTERNER hould happen to you, what would Sonny do? You are depriving him of his right to health. You must let the doctors operate. It will be a success, I know.” Finally, she had consented to the operation, and now, white and still, they awaited the result. Suddenly, Annette turned, and raising a pitifully white face to Ramey, she said, “If this operation is a success, and brother is cured, I shall never be able to repay_ you, but Til work—” “Annette,” Ramey interrupt- ed, “you— Just then the office door opened and a radiant-faced nurse en- tered. “He’s all right,” she whispered. “He's sleeping now, and the doctors say he will get along nicely.” Softly she tiptoed out and Annette, overcome with joy and relief, buried her face in her hands and wept. When Sonny came home, walking, a something sl new Annette was singing around the boarding-house. She was not the care- worn, tired sister that he had known, but a new one, that laughed and sang, or sat with pink cheeks and glistening eyes, looking at the beautiful diamond ring that was tied on her finger with a bit of holly ribbon.

THE EASTERNER Dramatics ——— Jee The first official news heard concern- ing dramatics was at the meeting of the Home and School Association on November 12, when Miss Prince spoke of what the Dramatic Society has done in past years, and what it expects to do this year. As we all know, next year is to be observed throughout the country as the three hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's death. The celebration in Washington will be in the form of an elaborate pageant to be given by the combined efforts of all the high schools in the District under the au- spices of Miss Sarah E. Simons, the head of the English department. It is expected that Eastern’s part in this will be the fairy songs and dances from “4 Midsummer Night's Dream.” Our Society has not yet been organ- jzed, but a general meeting of all stu- dents interested in dramatics was held on Wednesday, December 1. It was well attended by a large number of enthusiastic pupils. Misses Merrill and Prince gave brief talks on the gen- eral plan of the work for the year. It has been found in previous years that in many cases the plays studied by the club have not been of a high enough literary value to pay for the amount of work necessary to produce them. The faculty advisers desired to remedy this condition, and since the study of Shakespeare is to be empha- sized in all the English classes, they decided to devote the whole time of the Society to Shakespeare.

Your “Green Number” is an excellent publication. “Vacation Memories” was both interesting and amusing. Impressions, Central H. School, Scran- ton, Pa. We suggest that you pick your stories for publication more carefully as those in the November issue are not particu- larly good. Vindex, Elmira, N. Y.

Your October issue contained a very excellent editorial on colloquism, “It can't be done.” We agree with you and THE EASTERNER people would profit ve believe that many ‘ould ore the advice it con- greatly by following tained. English High Mass. A few cuts would help the general appearance of your paper. | Why not start an Alumni Department: : Tech Life, McKinley High School, Washington, D. C. The articles in your paper are well written, especially the editorials. But yy not have a short interesting story in ch issue? We have also noticed a de- preciation in the worth of your cartoons. The Tattler, Kincaid High School, Kincaid, Kans. Why not criticise more of your ex- changes? Cartoons would improve your paper.

KATE Communi-Kate’s intelligent, Intri-Kate’s obscure; Prevari-Kate is stubborn, And Equivo-Kate unsure. Dislo-Kate is painful, Alter-Kate’s a pest; Rusti-Kate is charming, But Edu-Kate’s the best. The world is old, yet likes to laugh; New jokes are hard to find— A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind. So if you meet some ancient joke, Decked out in modern guise, Don’t frown and call the thing a fake, Just laugh—don’t be too wise.

We then began to hunt a place, And thereby hangs a tale, The only land ayailable, Was next door to the jail. Although the sites were limited, A choice was finally made, We thought it settled, but found out, Too big a price was laid. And so another delay is caused, And time goes on apace, And the site of our new Eastern, Is still an unknown place. Let us hope the “city fathers” Will objections overrule, So that the coming Congress Can proyide for our school.
