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,”
