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

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

THE EASTERNER 21 choice ultimately, we know that she will be one grand success. 40 Marte Evtanor Harvy. “M ree.” Camp Fire. Marie is the young lady with the auburn curls, for whom every day is “Sundae.” Ma- rié’s favorite pastimes are camp-firing and eat- ing sundaes. Marie is a stenographer and typewriting shark! Didn't she leave her dear- ly beloved class because the business world could not get along without her? Didn't Mr. Catella weep tears of sorrow at the loss ofa star pupil? What more is needed as convinc- ing proof of her unusual abilities? Marie made many friends while at Eastern, and we all wish her success in her chorus work. 41 Everyn Marcaret Hicks. : “Hickie.” Little (?) Hickie is a jewel. She wears the smile that won't come off and is always try- ing to make everybody happy. She works with such rapidity in the drawing room that she keeps Miss Van Doren busy finding work for her to do. Evelyn has a very sympathetic nature. She even feels sorry for the “Door little cats” that have to sleep out in the cold on winter nights. After finishing a course at Normal School, Evelyn wishes to study medi- cine. Some day we shall hear of the famous Dr. Hicks who graduated from Eastern in 1915. 42 Hazer, Dororuy Hucues. Pin Committee. Oh, yes, Hazel is the young lady with the auburn (?) hair, whose favorite expression, “I can’t be bothered,” shows her attitude toward life in general. This last does not apply to Math., however, for she has faithfully clung to this during almost all of her career at Eastern, relinquishing it only at the assurance of Mr. Kimball that he could teach her no more. Nevertheless, Hazel has had time to make many good friends here, and we are sure she will be greatly missed when she leaves these halls and enters upon her career at Normal. 43 Grorce Stoucuton Exuis. “Bill” Manager Football; Manager Baseball; Dra- matics. Bill Ellis is absolutely and positively the only one of his kind. He dances like unto no other, and he sneezes ditto. We all remem- ber that wonderful sneeze he pulled in the “Shadow of the Glen.” Every time we think of it we quake in our boots. To the surprise of no one, and the pleasure of many, Bill was elected manager of both the football and base- ball teams. He arranged an extensive and excellent schedule for each team, Bill is one of the popular people, both with the boys and girls. There is never a social function that he does not attend. Moreover, he is always doing things for “the School.” He will join many other Eastern grads. at Dartmouth next year, and we wish him all kinds of success. 4 Marian VircintA HuMMER. Camp Fire. Marian is known by her favorite expression, “Ain't it dumb,” while her taste in food is along the olive and pickle line. She is per- fectly happy if she can have a nice sour pickle, but we are glad to say her disposition is anything but sour. She is a quiet little miss, who informs us of her presence only by her charming giggle. Marian belongs to Camp Desire and has attained the Fire Maker's de- gree. She expects to attend Randolph-Macon next year, and we all wish her success in her studies there. 45 Miner Sears ELuis. Dramatics. Miner's an actor, there’s no doubt about it. He is certainly gifted by the gods. And when it comes to presenting real plays, he’s un- equalled. Miner is an excellent dancer, too. He always has a new step to show some one and he doesn’t mind showing it, either. His perfect manners and winning ways have won him hosts of friends. But Miner is not merely a society man by any means. He is a con- scientious, hard working fellow. And what- ever he undertakes to do, he does, ’cept the Math, and that wasn’t his fault. Nevertheless, it is this trait in Miner that is going to make a glorious future for him.
