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

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.) Bunny is another of those fourth year German. stars, and he’s one of My Schwartz's pets. At least we should judge a for Mr. Schwartz asks him to sit Henk hig desk so often. 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

Philologian; Dramatics; Camp Fire; Pin Committee. Virginia has taken part in many of the school activities. She was a member of the Pin Committee, and took an active interest n the Pholologian and Camp Fire Societies. But with all her outside duties, she has been an honor student all four years. Virginia has a very roaming disposition. Sometimes the beautiful green trees and a glass of soda have served as enticements to draw her out of school. She is going to try Goucher next year and will join her old “pal,” Marion Norris, there. We all know Virginia’s cheerful dis- position will bring her success wherever she goes. 36 Grace Vivian Freep. Dramatics; Philologian; Friendship Club. We never see Vivian without a smile. The only way we can account for this is that she is so happy to be in school. She is always sorry when holidays begin and happy when they are over. Vivian is an excellent shorthand stu- dent. This is shown by the fact that she does much of Dr. Small’s work. Nor is shorthand the only thing in which she shines, for she is Mr. Catella’s typewriting pupil. Being fond of zoology, she finds great pleasure in the study of birds, especially their Bills. Vivian is EASTERNER going to take a business course after leaving Eastern. Lovist JOHANNA GERHARD, “Crazy.” p Fire; Girls’ Basket Ball, 37 Cam “Crazy” is one of those witty girls who en- ters right into your heart as soon as you meet her, She always has a remark to suit the oc. casion. In the gymnasium it is always Louise who leads the other girls on. In fact, when- ever she is in the party a good time is guaran- teed: She is a regular clown for the Camp Fire girls, and is the joy of all their trips. We fear that one of the movie actors, “Sweedie,” has used our Louise as a model. “Crazy” ex- pects to attend a business college next year and thus begin her career as a model sten- ographer. 38 Anna Marinpa Hacan. Dramatics. Do we know her? Well, I guess! She's the little girl with the rosy cheeks and the “smile that won’t come off.” Anna is always ready with a joke, yet always anxious to help a classmate out of a difficulty. Anna hails from the beautiful suburb, Anacostia, and even though she has a long journey to school, she arrives in perpetual good humor. This popu- lar young lady is fond of sports, and thinks the outfield the best place on the ball team, (We wonder why?) We sympathize with her when she says, “I expect to go to Normal, but I hope I won't.” 39 Marjorie Liry Hates. “Marj.” Prophetess; Dramatics; Easterner Staff; Phi- lologian; Camp Fire; Press Club. You know Marj, don’t you? O, sure you do. The Phililogian, the Press Club, the Dra- matic Club, the Camp Fire and Easterner Staff have all heard Marjie’s contagious laugh- ter and have missed her volley of words when she failed to appear. This versatile friend of ours has even been an honor student while at Eastern. For generosity Marj cannot be ex- celled. Why, she has even promised to tell some of our futures class night. She cannot decide whether to join the ranks of school teachers or pharmacists, but whatever her
