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

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.

THE EASTERNER 23 disposition. Elva always sees the funny point, even when it isn’t there, and her voice betrays her good humor. She is a jolly good com- panion and loyal friend. Elva expects to at- tend Normal. We are sure her pupils will never be confronted by a cross or grouchy teacher. We wish you success, Elva. 53 Cuaries Kennet Mansvy. Basket Ball; Track; Baseball, Mansuy the silent, the only imitation of the Sphinx. If the old proverb, “Silence is Gold- en,” still holds true, Mansty is a gold mine. He certainly is all right when you get to know him. He undertakes everything with an earnestness which would do credit to any one. Being a trifle light, he has had a hard time in athletics. After three years of hard work, however, he has tested success. His motto is “Don’t say what you are going to do. Do it.” He has not decided what he will do after leav- ing school, but we are sure he will be success- ful if he will only make noise enough to keep the world from running over him. 4 Dororny Lorzia Lrer. “Dot.” Dramatics. Yes, that’s Dot. Everybody knows her. She is such a shining light in German that Herr Spanhoofd calls on her every day. Dorothy's hobby is dramatics, and we think she would make a splendid actress from her work in the “Dragon Claw”; but then, when we hear her sing in the Glee Club, we think she had better become a prima donna. However, Dot hasn't planned a definite future; but if you really want to know, maybe the “colonel” would en- lighten you. 55 Crartes Granam Rice. “Blondy.” Athletic Council; Baseball; Basket Ball; Spring Play. Step this way, please. That’s Blondy, the studious chap with the scowl of wisdom on his erstwhile lovely phiz. Here at Eastern he is THE student on the masculine side of the house. When Eastern days are over, Blondy expects to spend four years at George Wash- ington, four years at the University of Paris, and then probably four years at Occoquan where he can study undisturbed. It’s a relief to say that he has made a record for himself in athletics, having played on the basket ball and baseball teams. Blondy is an all around good sport, and our well wishes follow him wherever he roams. 56 Mary Busnny McCren.anp “Little Mary” was one of our lively chil- dren. Although she was only shoulder high, yet we were always aware that Mary had her way. By studying hard, she completed the course a semester sooner, so she could graduate with the June class. Mary has al- ways taken an interest in music and for a while was a member of the Girl’s Glee Club. She was also a member of that happy bunch, the E B, and helped to provide and also eat the good things that always held such a promi- nent place at its spreads. 37 EstHer MApELINE MACK. Philologian; Friendship Club. Esther is one of our tiny little tots, but this is a case of “precious things in small pack ages.” We would not know what to do with- out her bright and shining face. All of our troubles seem to vanish when Esther ap- proaches with her hapyy smile and beautiful golden curls. She is a loyal member of the Philologian Society. Although she finds great pleasure in all her studies, biology and short- hand are her favorites. Esther expects to en- ter Normal School, and we wish her much success in her chosen work. 58 May Imocene Mann. Staff, Basketball, Philologian, and Spring Play. Yes, little May Mann was in all of them. She certainly is a nice little lady with cun- ning smiles and golden curls. She is Mr. Catella’s favorite. In one of the plays May showed us that she would make a perfect old maid. We fear, however—but now that is telling tales. May expects to go to Wilson Normal School, where she will study (maybe) to be a kindergarten teacher. This is just what May is suited for, and we wish her the best of luck.
