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,”
