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.)

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 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 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
