Lory is the girl who has chiefly occupied herself with getting in and out of scrapes while here at Eastern. Now, don't get the idea that Lory is absolutely wicked, because she really “ain't,” but her capacity for “fun” often puts her in bad with the “powers behind the throne,” as she affectionately terms the faculty. Taking Dramatic notes, serving pies and pop, bluffing Herr Schwarz, skipping, and laughing, have been her specialties during her four years’ sentence. Considering that these subjects have been a great mental strain, Lory intends to spend the rest of her days re- cuperating. THE SENIOR CLASS. Silvery bearded Lord Time stumbled up the ladder, which leads to the attic, where he was met by the veiled but smil- ing Lady Future, who having heard the sound of revelry came forth to ascertain its cause, Sir Present, the faithful slave of her ladyship, hastily pushed aside sage old Time and began in his pomp- ous way: “Tis the class of °15 gathered together for the last time, dear Lady. I just came up from the drill hall, where they are dancing, and it was certainly a wonder- ful sight. I’ve never seen such a remark- able class!” Here the aggrieved Lord ‘Time reminded him that classes had gone TERNER and classes would come with equal at- tainments ; but Sir Present turned a deaf ear to the one who was so ancient that he sometimes forgot. Witha knowing smile, Sir Present con- tinued with his favorite subject, “When the members of this class are relunctantly granted their sheepskins, it is time for great grief. It’s a crying shame.” Here Present mopped his eyes with a handker- chief, “to put them out just because they are so clever. Why, Dear Lady Future, they are the backbone, the pride of Old Eastern.” Here Lord Time, with a cyn- ical leer, attempted to interrupt, but the Present was still eloquent. “Since September, 1911, I have watched them; since September, 1911, the faculty has praised them. Indeed, Mr. Wallis, the Dictator in Room 8, was so fond of some of the boys that he used to keep them until five and six o'clock ; and then there is Dr. Small, did he ever feel quite safe without one or two of 15’s huskies in the outer office? There, answer me that, Lord Time.” Old Time shook his head and bade Sir Present continue his ravings, while Tady Future stared into a crystal ball as if fas- cinated Present pufied his cheeks and began again: “As I said before, they are the most remarkable class since the graduation of Andrew Jackson. ‘Their versatility alone would mark them as shining lights in the pages of history. Why. among their ranks are found the athlete, the poet, the artist, the actor, the actress, the banker, the military gentleman, to say nothing of the student, although he is probably the most interesting type. In English classes he gives such convincing arguments in the

Next year will find Olive a student at George Washing- ton University, and the class wishes her the hest of success. 78 WiittAM ViERBUCHEN TurPIN. “Bill.” Spring Play. Turpin is that tall, serious-looking person who continually wears green suits. Green, however, is exceedingly becoming to him, so we forgive his persistency. As a German stu- dent none can surpass Turpin. Ask Professor Spanhoofd. Turpin took the part of “Billy Ashe” in the Spring Play and in that role he certainly starred. Who else could have played that part with such an air of ease? William is very fond of canoeing. Ask G. V. T. Tur- pin expects to go to College after he leaves Eastern, and we are sure he will make many friends in his new field. 79 BRUNETTA TER LINDEN. a Lene “Ter” is that dark-haired young lady who visits the market every day and returns with a bag of sweets. No wonder the girls mob her the minute they see her. “Ter” is the optimist of the school. She is always de- lighted to see any mark on her report, for as she says, “It might be worse!” As the daugh- ter of a musician, Brunetta naturally stars as a pianist. She will consent to no interviews, so we do not know what she intends to do after leaving Eastern, but we have a hunch that she'd better take a domestic science course. 80 Joun Dutton WatnwericHt. “Cunnie.” When J. Dutton entered the illustrious halls of Eastern, a certain young lady was heard to remark that he was the best looking boy in the class. Since then he certainly has not deteriorated any, and as no one else has en- tered the class, he must still be the Apollo thereof. The only thing we know detrimental to him is that he spends too much time s udy- ing Major Drawing when he should be loafing through Latin or Math. (Oh, dear, we are upset.) All kidding aside, we wish Wain- wright every success in the world after he leaves school, and Eastern will be glad to see him back again any time he sees fit to come. §1 Annie Drew Tuorne. Little Annie is one of those quiet, studious girls who promises to be the hope of the land. She is one of the brightest girls in school, having received honors every year. If any one happens to be a little vague as to an Eng- lish assignment, she asks Annie. She. is al- ways able to give the desired information. Annie is always ready to help others in dis- tress and is the type of the true and ‘foyal friend. Annie expects to go to Normal next year, and if she continues to do the excellent work that she is now doing, she will make a model teacher. 82 Marran Exvizanetn Tucker. Dramatics; Philologian; Easterner; Glee Club; Friendship Club. Don’t you remember sweet Geraldine of the Titian locks, who captured the impregnable heart of Sir Lancelot, in last year’s : Spring Play? Well, that was Marian! Don't you know the future prima donna who at present cendescends to warble with the Glee Club? It's Marian! Do you know who is the pride of Miss Hawes’ heart? The same little Mar- ian! This ambitious miss contemplates a four- year course at Mt. Holyoke, from which she will return to Eastern with a long string of appendages radiating from her usual cogno- men, in order to teach the great grand-chil- dren of the senior class. 83 Marte Estetie Watcort. Dramatics. This young lady has done herself credit since entering Eastern. As an artist she has shown unusual talent, as we have all seen, in painting scenery for this year’s Spring ' Play. Also those who have seen her “Victory” pro- nounce it a fine piece of work. She hasn't decided whether to continue her art study in the Corcoran School or to bury herself in Normal. Marie has also shown her talent in the play called “How a Woman Keeps a Se- cret.” “Katz,” as we call her, is full of fun and our best wishes go with her. st Caro Louise WALKER. Dramatics. Carol is one of our most brilliant girls, both in studies and countenance. Meet her when

THEEASTERNER support of the theory of evolution that you begin to suspect his connection with a menagerie. “In the artistic line their ability is well represented hy Miss Custis. Lord Time show me the member of any other class who captured a $250.00 prize.” But Old Time just grumbled. “Do you know why the Spring Play was 11 sticcess ?” continued Present. “The noble class of ‘15 put its shoulder to the wheel, and ergo, the audience has heen laughing ever since. What do you sup- pose those boastful aimless juniors will do for a stage manager when Ray Clirk is gone? It looks as though they will be compelled to hire one, and keep the treas- fhe) ury on short coins forever. Poor, de- serted Old Eastern, June 18, 1915, is surely a dark day for you “Of course, dear Lady, you have often seen those valiant military gentlemen, Col. Gilly and Capt. Harry. Same old story. They belong to the class of 14. “Tt’s almost midnight, and Lord Time will doze an instant, so you may tell me what you see in days to come for my favorite class,” whispered Sir Present to the veiled Lady Future; but she only smiled and said, “Lord Time will tell,” but the hells rang twelve, the charm was broken, so Time must tell.
