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.

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

24 THE z CeciiA MATTHEWS: “Ted.” Camp Fire. Such a long name does not fit such a A girl, so we call her “Ted. Ted is ore those generous-hearted creatures who w1 joa you whenever they can. Have you ever ; Gs : Ted pound out rag-time? No? Then you Me missed a great treat, for she is certainly gifte in the line of music. When listening to Ted you simply can't make your feet behave. She is also a gifted dancer- Ted expects to be- come a kindergarten teacher, and we are sure she will capture the hearts of the children, for she has such winning ways. 59 Teresa INE Pautine LoHMAN. Camp Fire. Pauline is the girl who didn’t discover the superiority of Eastern over other high schools until her senior year. But, although late in coming, she found a hearty welcome awaiting her. Good in all of her studies she stars par- ticularly in German. After Mr. Spanhoofd has exhausted his patience trying to get a good recitation from a class where such things are scarce he calls on “Fraulein Lohmann,” and at last gets what he wants. Pauline is a member of Camp Desire and is one of the most enthu- 60 siastic workers of that Camp Fire. Next year Pauline expects to go to Normal. 61 Dorotuy Esteve McCautey. “Dot.” Dramatics. “Dot,” the chic little fashion plate of East- ern, is thinking of joining a law firm, as her main interests are centered in that pursuit. Dorothy is a very studious person, but much of her time is spent in the office, seeking ex- cuse blanks. She has a deeply religious na- ture, as she is found every Sunday imparting her knowledge of the Scriptures to thirteen small prodigals. Her proficiency in music is shown by her interpretation of the morning hymns. However, she expects to continue her music teaching and to perfect her own talent at the Peabody Conservatory of Music at Bal- timore, EASTERNER Iva Rag Merevrt. ” Camp Fire; Girls’ Basket Ball. s Iva, that tall girl with the light curly hair. Iva is always in a good humor, She is the life of her English class, and her witty remarks afford great amusement to her classmates. She has taken a very active Part in the Camp Fire group. Wherever One sees Iva, he is sure to see ‘Crazy, for these girls are inseparable. Iva hasn't quite decided yet what she will do next year, but whatever she we are sure she will be a suc- 62 Yes, that’ attempts to do cess at it. 63 Henen Emerck MILier, For the past year Helen has been one of the happy bunch in Room 1. With the aid of her chum, Marie, she has been one of Eastern’s mischief makers, She excels in drawing, and some day we shall find her in charge of the drawing in the new Eastern, Also, she loved to work with Bugs and other “yarmints” in the Laboratory, and can inform you on any subject from the metemorphasis of a snail to raising cabbage. We don’t know what Helen intends to do next year, but we have an idea that she will impart some of this valuable information to the teachers at Normal. 64 Frora Mae PaLMEr. Dramatics. Flo—Here is the light and life of 183A, Without Flora our total number of eight would walk through the corridors of E. H. §. like a funeral procession. We feel that an in- troduction to this well-known person is un- necessary, for her piano playing during as- semblies has made her famous. Flora is very moody at times (always after a visit.to the marvelous town of Alexandria). She is very studious, so much so, that on an average of twice a week she has given us the pleasure of her company in German. Flora is loyal to her motto, “Eat, drink, and be merry.” 65 Heven Gray RANKIN. Philologian; Camp Fire. A girl with brains for two—that’s Helen. She excels in everything she undertakes, but especially in her poetry. Helen takes great
