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
