20 WEATHER: after six weeks VotuME XIX Che Srare Head All anonymous contributions thankfully received PERSONALS Barr says they won't disqualify him for studying, anyway. No, we don’t believe in Municipal Games on the 4th of July. They hurt our teams too much. Well, the basket ball team won a game at last. We sure wish Gon- zaga was in the League. An Eastern alumnus was aboard the Ford Peace Ship when it sailed. We hope he’s played a clean square game, and hasn't plugged anybody in the dark with a young cannon. Newspaper Headline: “Detective Chief Resigns After Being Criti- cised.” If they did that over here we wouldn't have any faculty. Everytime we look at Sam Hardy's feet we think of that beau- tiful old hymn, “How firm a foun- dation.” At last they gave us a REAL substitute in English. Which re- minds us of the following: Gates: “Boteler studies his English since the substitute showed up.” Barkman: “Dewey?” Gates: “Yeh. He do.” Doc Williams says he wishes it would hurry up and get warm | again. Business is Business! THE EASTERNER Prospects bright, but will probably grow cloudy “BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS OVER 500 STUDEN] Many New Pupils Enter Eastern Witho sult from the crowded conditions) Nobody was killed and only a very few were hurt in any way when over seventy new pupils en- tered Eastern last week. Owing to the crowded conditions in the class rooms and corridors it was feared that bombs might be placed in some inconspicuous places, but such did not prove to be the case. It was also feared that some sort of an up- | rising among the students might re- and the Faculty Riot Corps, headed by Mr. Wallis and Miss Schwartz, stood ready to suppress any mutin- ous disorder. Such did not prove to be the case, however. The only casualties reported were thise caused by several reckless pu- pils being torpedoed by Matinee- day exams. It is said that this tor- pedoing would probably not have

On January 18 Eastern dropped its fourth straight game to Western to the tune of 49-8. Western completely out- classed us, passing and shooting at will. Western's defense was also good, the Eastern team scoring but two baskets from the floor. Peine, Smith and Sar- gent starred for Western, while Steltz and Cummings looked good for Easter.

Our first win of the year came on Jan- uary 19, when we handed Gonzaga a 22-17 beating. True, the game was only a practice one, but it broke the monoto- uy of losing, and gave the team a little confidence. Baldwin scored six baskets from the floor. Capt. McGlasson, Cum- mings, Baldwin, Steltz, English, and Boteler were the players who got in the game for Eastern. On January 21 the team went to Ma- nassas, Virginia, and played the Eastern College team of that place, The score was 38-8 in favor of Manassas. The game was the roughest of the year, from Eastern’s standpoint. The line-up for Eastern was: Steltz, C.; McGlasson, R.F.; Baldwin, L Cummings, R.G.; English, Boteler, L.G.

If chaperones do attend, they may be expected to pay one-half the admission price. Cou- ples are not expected to notice the chaperones in any way, if they do not desire to. {. The dances may last until one o'clock on Friday nights, and two o'clock on Saturday nights, since Sunday School does not begin until 9:30 A. M. - When dancing is held at noon, the fifth period shall be omitted, and an informal dance shall be held. Good music shall be furnished by the Faculty and by those who do not dance. It is to be hoped that all Eastern pupils will earnestly follow these tules, in order that no misunder- standing about dancing may occur. ANSWERS TO QUERIES Answered by Miss Information Dear Ed: How can I learn to | play golf? Yours, Crockery D. Ome. Ans.—Wait until spring comes, and then go out with the base ball team and shoot pool after practice. Dear Queery Ed: I saw a pretty girl in Room 13 the other day, and haven't seen her since. What the best thing to do in order to get another peep at her? Yours, Spaghet I. Mugg. Ans.—Maybe the reason haven't seen her is that you first. Disguise yourself as th is you she saw e€ |corridor and theyll all stick around you. Then you can pick her out. AFFAIRS OF THE HEART By Mrs. Dan Cupid Mrs. Cupid, having noticed a large number of love-lorn lads and lassies wandering about our halls of learning, has graciously offered to warn and advise them in their adversities of the heart. All let- | ters should be addressed to her and put in the local box at the end of the first floor corridor. They muct be signed or initialed and should be written on one side of the paper only. Here's your chance, girls! If you are contemplating an action that you fear may look too much like “leap year,” consult our new heart specialist, Mrs. Dan Cupid. Her answers will be published in this department in the next issue of | THe EasTERNER.
