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

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

We have found only one thing that can change her character. The question “Do you consider yourself a lady?” has a marvelous effect upon her. By the fervor with which she answers this question we believe that Edna would make a prominent leader in the Wo- men’s Suffrage Association. But alas—she has set her heart on being in the business world. We feel sure that she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. This sedate little miss, in or ve) Mary Powers SIGGERS. Camp Fire. “Mary the Generous,” as she is known to her best friends, is a brown haired, brown eyed girl, We often see her swinging along the halls with her athletic walk. Mary came to us from Salem College, N. C., as a Senior, but this doesn't lessen our love for her, for who can help admiring the warm heart of Mary who feels kindly toward every one? Mary plays basketball as if she enjoyed it, and we guess she does. She is one of Camp Desire’s members and is “just crazy about Dark Feather and her work.” Mary expects to at- tend the University of Michigan next year. 74 Rosert MitcHert Tayror. Dramatics; Cadets. Job, otherwise known as Robert, is surely “one good old scout.” He has made himself famous at school for his wonderful interpre- tation of Job Seidling on “A Thorn Among Roses,” which was presented at one of the dramatic meetings this year. Robert served in the cadets three years and was also a soldier in the Spring Play. When Job has any leis- mh EASTERNER time, he manages Fealy’s Drug Store, (Se me soda slinger.) Robert is going to os Washington next year. We all wish him the best of success there. Munprep SWENEY. Camp Fire; Philologian; Glee Club, 75 “Sweety” is known to all by her rosy cheeks (the kind that doesn’t come off). Mildred is fond of athletics, and plays a good game of tennis and basketball. Camp Desire would be helpless without its Firemaker and Treasurer, and very solemn without her wholesome fun and pranks. Mildred is sometimes forced to giggle” in Latin, much to the consternation of “Elay,” who sits near her. We all highly recommend Mildred to Oberlin, where she ex- pects to go next fall, for we know her to be an energetic and very successful student Philologian and the Glee Club are proud to claim Mildred as a member. 76 Karuertne Wane TAyLor. “Kat Philologian. Do we know Kat? Well, T guess we do know Kat! She's that girl who is in such a hurry to get to Trinity College that she fin- ished her course here at Eastern in three and a half years. In a way we regret this rush, for we understand she aspires to be Mr. Su- ter’s assistant in the Chemistry Department, and we hate to see the new Eastern High School b'own up. Katherine is far famed for her “dear little giggle’ as well as for her membership in the “Waffle Quintet.” Kath- erine has been a loyal member of the Philo- logian Club, and her work in this line was greatly appreciated. We all wish her the best of success next year. 77 Ouive Ropcers Tay1or Here’s to the dark-eyed young lady who strolls into music at 9.45 every Tuesday morn- ing. The reason for this delay is that the Taylors live so near Rock Creek Cemetery that the atmosphere of the “sleeping dead” makes Olive drowsy. Out at Potomac Camp, however, Olive wakes up and works like a Trojan. It is there that she has earned the title of “water boy.” Olive’s password is “Quid Est” and her favorite pastime is the
