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.

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

It is hard to tell, Miss Van Doren will miss her more than any one, for Louella has been her chief standby ever since she has been at Eastern. Whenever there are any posters to be made, or in fact, anything in the artistic line, Louella is always busy. The beauty of it is, she is always willing. It is her contributions to the Easterner, both to the Scareheads and Locals, that helped make the editions successful. Louella expects to attend Normal next year, and after that she will specialize in drawing and music. In whatever she attempts, we wish her all the success pos- sible. AT Fire girl! After Honorary Member 49 Herrert STANLEY FEsSENDEN. “Hubby.” Manager Basket Ball; Cadets. “Hubby.” His nick-name would better de- scribe him if we would prefix a “c.” He ts ASTERNER slightly inclined to be chubby, Despite his weight, however he skips lightly about, not to school—oh, no, far away from it. The beau- tiful spring days awaken within Hubby a de- sire to rove. He doesn’t have to own a ship to be known as a skipper. We have heard that he is trying to reduce his weight. We would like to suggest that he has adopted the wrong method of skipping. Hubby is one of those fellows who is always in a good humor. Noth- ing depressing about him. He is undecided about what he will do after leaving school, but we are sure that his golden smile will always spread joy about him. Amen. 50 Epirn JULIA Kine. We don’t hear much from “Edie,” so quiet and retiring she, but, believe us, she gets re- suits. An “EF” is quite a stranger to her. This is largely due to Miss Gardner, who realizes her unusual poetic abilities. Sometimes (not often) she “gets stubborn” and will not even write rhymes, but her good humor, which is never far beneath, soon shows itself and she keeps us laughing with her droll remarks. Her future career 1S undecided, but we know that on account of her sterling character and genial disposition she will be successful in whatever she undertakes. 51 Exsig May KiLinEHANSE. Friendship Club. Have you ever happened to be in Room 13 at lunch time and hear Elsie laugh? No mat- ter how serious the subject, no matter what the nature of it, Elsie js sure to see a chance fora joke, and she proceeds to make every one else see it. Although Elsie has never told us, we're positive that she prefers Physical Training to any other subject. Why? Because there she has an opportunity to display her dancing ability. And in that she shines. Elsie knows them all—fox-trot, waltz, fish-walk, or min- uet. Next year she is going to Normal, where we are sure she will succeed. 52 Enya Exist Lepoux. Here’s to the girl with the French name, which has been the despair of so many teach- ers and pupils. But Elva has retained her pa- tience in starting them right, even unto her senior year. All of which brings out her good
