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

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.

THE EASTERNER 25 pleasure in putting her thoughts into verse form. What she doesn't know wouldn't fill the back of a two-cent stamp. She has never been fully appreciated—not even by her own classmates. Though she is one of the brilliant students of 13A, Helen does not spend her idle moments talking, as do must of us, Her val- uable time is spent to some great purpose. For her companions she has Virgil and Cicero, much to the delight of Miss Hawes. 66 Heten ANNA RAUCHENSTEIN. Athletic Council; Basketball. Helen is a good old scout, well liked by everybody. She is athletically inclined and has served as the third year member of the Athletic Council as well as captain of the fourth year basketball team. Helen is Miss Grosvenor’s special pet, lightening the burdens of her physical training comrades by her “would-be funny stuff.” Helen’s favorite say- ing is “the water's rough.” (Refer to Star- vation Camp.) Next year He'en expects to go to Drexel Institute, Philadelphia. Everybody has been wondering why the domestic science course, but perhaps we may suggest that IT is to learn all about—but I guess we had better not finish. 67 ANNABEL RILEY. Another bunch of foolishness like unto no other. “Pat, Jr.” has that effervescing store of fun and good humor which brings laughter from the sternest of the stern. Ex- cept when “Chem.” confronts her, she is al- ways studying out the best way to carry out some mischievous prank without being caught. The three and a half years of Annabel’s East- ern career have left us with dislocated ribs from laughing at her pranks. Another charm is her delicate appetite (?). Her motto through life should always be “Eat, drink, and be merry.” May she live up to this at the Normal next year. 68 Norman Leo Jon Roppy. “Oakum.” Baseball; Football; Basketball; Spring Play. “Qakum,” as his comrades fondly term him, is not so sleepy as his name implies; in fact, he is wide awake—sometimes. As a songster he can’t be beat. Every Tuesday we hold our breath as his melodious voice ascends to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in that captivat- ing ditty, “At the Vedding.” At noon Fer- gie’s Cabaret is the scene of great revelry when the news is passed around the Senior Oakum will favor the patrons (not saints) with a song. With the exception of these nasal outbursts, he keeps well within the bounds of law and order, Next year he in- tends to sing his way through classes at Cath- olic University—if he doesn’t sing himself into Sing Sing first. 69 Exata CATHERINE RoeTscHt. Philolagian. Emma is one of our honor students. We cannot say in what subject she excels, as she stars in all of them. Nor can we say what stibject she is most fond of, as she finds great pleasure in every branch of her work. Emma is often disgusted with her last name, but she knows how to appreciate it when there is a sitbstitute who does not call on her because her name is so hard. Emma wants to go to Germany to study music. We advise you not to go for a while yet, Emma. 70 Ermer BerNarp SCHWAB. Dramatics. Of course you know “Squab.” He is that dignified young man with the cropped hair and pocketful of Vivils. Every girl in his German class adores him because he is so liberal with his chewing gum and candy; no wonder he’s so sweet. In the ro'e of “Captain Anstruther” in the Spring Play, Schwab distinguished him- self, and the part suited him perfectly. In “Deutsch” Schwab always knows his lesson and usually translates so beautifully that he saves the day for the whole class. Schwab refuses to answer questions, but we feel sure that in whatever he undertakes he will be suc- cessful. 71 VincintA Warttiesty SARGENT. “Ginnie.” Virginia is the girl who has made such a record winning prizes from the Humane So- ciety.” Virginia’s pet theme is “Kindness to Animals,” and she can write compositions on this theme which melt the hardest of hard hearts. However. Ginnie doesn’t devote all of
