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.
