Mildred is a hum-digger and a heart-smasher and a good sport. She's a devout disciple of the Great God, Bluff, but she can’t fool us all, all the time.

Here's to dear old Elizabeth, Miss Boyd’s pride and joy! I wonder how she likes the library at Normal School. But “Liz” seems to like fiddling and jitney riding above all. Good luck, “Liz,” in everything that you undertake. ROSE MARIE SMITH. Rose Marie! And that frenchy, fowery name suits her to a “T .” She’s so dainty and timid and sweet! Behind those violet eyes of hers is a keen, quick little brain that can do some work! She is going to be a business woman, but we think a fairy ought to change her into a moon- beam or a violet.

MABEL VAN DYKE. “Among them, but I stood not of them; in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts,” “So it used to was, but ‘taint no more! Now she’s as much one of us as anyone could be. 1'o be sure she still has her “Jone thought,” but that’s because she’s got more brains than most of us, with which to think. Anyway, she’s an A No. 1 friend to have and an all-around good sport. ALICE MAURINE TRIMBLE. Peggy is our dear little girl from: New Mexico. She took the school by storm when she came here. Peggy has great promise of future fame in art, poetry and fiction, and if not in these lines, certainly in the art of teaching Span- ish. Here’s luck to you, Peggy! THE SENIORS BESSIE TAYLOR WOOD. ith a heart as big as all out-doors and a smile of a Perfect Day.

She is noted for her giggling and good na- ture. Just now she is at Normal School studying to be a teacher, and the hardest thing for nes to acquire is a stern a dignified manner. Here’s wishing you bunches whatever it may be! That pretty, face and of luck for the future, GUY MORTON NEELY.

Haven't you seen that little girl with the large brown laughing eyes? That's our Dot! She is the one who al- ways knows her lessons, who is always in for a good time, and who always gets the best out of everything. Dot is now at Normal, doing her bit, and, well, she is doing it! She expects to teach (notice the expects, but——). Best of luck and happiness in all your undertakings, little Brown Eyes! ELIZABETH ELY. Not satisfied with one high-school diploma from Tech, she must get another from Eastern after staying here but one year. We all love her, but we didn’t get well ac- quainted, for which disaster we are all profoundly sorry. No matter if it is History or Latin, she is willing to help you out. We feel sure that you will succeed, “Bee,” what- ever you take up and wherever you go. THE SENIORS HELEN ELIZABETH RICHARDS. Helen! Tne Sedate Senior with the laughing eyes, which are the envy of all the girls. She doesn’t pay much at- tention to the members of the stronger sex, but her eyes will lead, and are leading a lot of them a dance. All Eastern wishes H. E, R, success. CECILIA KENDIG JUMP. Cerdy is about the best natured kid in the whole class. She’s got the cutest little nose, and the sunniest disposi- tion, and an “I should worry” way about her. Even Burke didn’t bother Cerdy. She’s the girl of me choice and someone else’s, too. MAUDE JULIET BAYLES. Maude Is a tall dark maiden with poetic eyes, poetic imagination, and a lot of poetic talent. She has a volce like silver brooklets and a smile like God’s own sunshine. That's Maude. be WILLIAM JOSEPH DONNELLY, JR. One of several] boys of ‘18 whom Uncle Sam has chosen for service, but he will not get a lick at the Kaiser until he finishes his course at Annapolis. Whether in the depths of chemistry or in command of a battleship, he will gain success through his perseverance and jolly laugh. Class of 18 is proud of Bo. ANNA ADELE SHELDON. Anna is the joyous, lovable, jolly, helpful girl, who makes life durable in room 13. She is a good student and also excellent in behavior, with the exception of her little escapade when Barnum Bailey came to town. If asked to characterize Anna, we would say she’s the girl who always sees the bright side and is overflowing with wit. PEARL BESSIE MYER. Pearl said the other day that no one at Eastern ever had anything on her. We haven’t puzzled out what she meant. But we all know Pearl! Whenever we see her we think of a “Russian Honeymoon.” When Pearl “gets started” up in Room 12, she’s got it all over any movie star we ever saw, and when Pearl goes, we'll miss her ravings all right, all right. THE SENIORS MARY KINNEY ALLABAND. � Allaband is that pretty, dark-haired girl who Ite, Mary rorite with everyone since she came to Eastern, Dee nie who played that pretty horn in the orches. She is Une oT opened our eyes in wonder at the feat, She tra, and we a Athletic Council and Glee Club and estab. belonged abe for herself in Dramatics. Mary is doing here ict now, and we all wish her the best of luck ed Cross her patriotic undertaking. She is our class historian, in her pa 100. ANNA STRICKLER WILLIS. Haven't you noticed this dark-eyed girl who is always “crisp” and neat? If you haven't, Ed. certainly has. She's ire good looking and popular girl. Anna possesses ee ae art of bluffing not only her studies, but us, too, the quite a settled young lady, there is no chance a is i pe Here's to your luck and—Ed’s, for the rest of us. WILLIAM JOSEPH THOMAS. Willie Thomas—Is famed for All Athletics—But especial- ly is he good—In Basketball—He is Eastern’s heavy weight champion—And expects to match—Jess Willard—soon— His best friend—Is His tih buggy—In whose company—He is often seen—As he uses it to go—From one class —to another. MARY FRANK OWEN. Mary Frank is a “regular” girl, though lots don’t know it. he’s the kind that grews on you every time you “Seymore” of her. She is very attractive. There's some- thing deep about Mary’s frank disposition. Say, Mary, how do you do it? All of us girls are crazy about you, Mary, and the boys—well, why don’t you speak for your- self? She’s working now, but we think she would make a wonderful Red Cross nurse. I know a few who wouldn't want to get well. JULIA LOUISE FORD. Louise is the girl with the pleasant smile whom we have missed in the corridors for the greater part of the year. She has been helping Uncle Sam by working in the Aviation Signal Corps. She has been studying ever since she left school and will receive her diploma with the illustrious class. She is anticipating a fine time at the Naval Academy in a few years’ time. THE SENIORS HENRIETTA FETTERMAN. Yes, you can’t miss her, she’s that girl with the glorious golden hair that everybody admires at least once every day. But Henrietta’s not all hair, for she can do her les- sons when there are not other things troubling her, Henri has one weakness, that is her inability to get the point of the jokes we tell her, so that we have had to hire a skilled artist to draw her diagrams, ete. But she has im- proved greatly in this recently. SAYDE GOLDBERG. Sadye is just Sadye, but oh, my! What that means! She went to Normal School with the bunch—just for fun, for there’s one thing Sadye will not be and that’s a teacher. Room 12 was a yeritable church yard without our own noisy, funny, big-hearted Sadye. RAYMOND McGEARY HANN. Hann—Wore pajamas to school—One day—And he looked too cute—It was in the cireus—And they had to call on— An extra shift of freaks—Cause all the real ones—Had left school—And ran off to Baltimore—Hann plays bas- ketball—As well as he shoots—Craps—But it doesn’t pay— As well—Hann intends to be a—White wing—Or a garbage collector—So he can blow a horn— S MARGARET MAE BECK. Although there is quite a lot of “Bekky” to love, we haven't found it such a tough proposition. She is an original and patented cure for the blues.. Bekky is one of those smart people who are flitting through high school in 3% years, and with no apparent tax on her spirits or mental powers. GRACE MARIE BOBLITS. This young miss has been like a Damon without a Pyth- jas since Gertrude Cooley left us. She can hardly wait until she graduates from Normal so that she can impart knowledge and a deep respect for Eastern in the rising generation. She has a peculiar liking for a fat boy who plays in the orchestra. THE SENIORS LURANA VAN DOREN. Jere you behold the ideal Latin student. Her applica. : ait studiousness make her the joy of all her teachers, on has interesting thoughts, too, but does not tel) them ad ae ar She will probably become famous as jews . a i y ” elry designer for Tiffany Company. ANNIE MARGARET TRESSELT, Annie is one of those girls whom everybody likes, One j as can’t help it. In spite of her rather startling Motto, ae and the class flunks with you, pass, and you pass hioseovahe is through high school and ready for anything the world has to offer. Annie, like other Easternites, jg fond of Soldiers, Circus Parades and Pickles, WILLIAM SCHOONOVER FRENCH. Prof. William Schoonover French—Q, E. D. P., Q. Q, D. T’s and D. F—The noted Latin shark—The noted Eng- lish shark—The noted History shark—The noted Math shark—The one-lung precocity—Of Eastern High—Wishes to bid his fellow-students—Goodbye—Before he goes out— Into the World—To end the war—To settle race questions —And establish self-government—Of the world—On the altruistic principles— AILEEN SCHUBERT. The little girl with the long hair and the studious look, She wants to be a doctor or a nurse. She might come back to Eastern and teach Physics, or she might be a Philosopher and astonish the nation with her wisdom, ETHEL MAY LUCAS, Quiet little Ethel is certainly keeping up the excellent reputation of her sister. The more you know her, the better you like her. Here’s hoping she'll make as good a teacher as she has been a student. JOHN PAUL RATCLIFFE. Ratcliffe—He presents a pathetic picture—Of thwarted love—Or something just as foolish—At lunchtime—He Tuns a close rival to the—New York Symphony Orchestra— Or a jazz band—He's Manager of the swimming team— So I imagine—He can swim—Which is very nice—Isn%t it? He's one of the scared heads—Of the “Easterner”’— Therefore he can’t have much sense—Or else he wouldn’t have got—The job—But Mousie’s all right—He holds up his share—At Eastern— THE SENIORS SAMUEL WILSON EARNSHAW. Tra la la—To be sung in H Flat—Happy Earnshaw—Is noted for the dance he does—He has as many. different— Girls—As a Mexican republic—Has revolutions—And while dancing—It takes him—Two whole periods—To get to the end—Of the drill hall—And back—He is also noted—For his lovely curls— GRACE BUSH. That giggling, romping bunch of mischief! Yes—that’s Grace. There never was a joke that Grace wasn’t at the bottom of. She kept her corner of Room 12 like a boiler factory. Grace wept sixteen buckets of tears when she left for Normal and we wept forty—but our loss is their gain and our best wishes go with gay, irresponsible “Bushy.” MAURICE AUGUSTUS CREWES. Crewes—Is one of Eastern’s nuts—When he isn’t smiling —He’s laughing—He didn't make up his mind—To go in to the cadets—Until his last year—And wasn’t mad when he wasn’t offered—The coloneley—Crewes had a fight— With LaSalle—The anarchist—And lost—He was in the Circus—In .the silhouette pictures—Of Mother Goose and Others—So we lost his color scheme—Which isn’t much— He is so brilliant—He may get a scholarship—When he isn’t at the Library studying—He’s somewhere else—Study- ing—He used to have a pair of shoes—That went Cheap- cheap-cheap—That’s all I know about—Crewes— MARY EVELYN MARQUIS. The girl who's always busy and chronically late, but all the same she has time to laugh and smile. What is she going to do after graduation? We don’t know, but she may even take up farming to help feed her soldier brother. If this is the case, we all know she will make good at it. Here’s good luck to you, no matter what you take up. ELLEN KEITH. If anyone ever wants to know the latest fashions, she asks Ellen; for the latter is an expert upon such matters as dress and millinery. During her four years these two were Ellen’s stock questions: “Are you going to that swell dance?” “Well, what are you going to wear?” It is never necessary to ask Ellen whom she is going with. We all know she will make a fine teacher and be an inspir- ing model for the dear children—or—nuff said! THE SENIORS ETHEL ENGLAND JOHNSON. Ethel’s motto is: “Neyer let Study interfere with Edu. cation.” She usually manages ue get dno and yet is always ready for some fun, especially in Spanish. She may go to George Washington next year, but there’s a reason, Here's wishing you success in the years to come, MINNIE JONES. Minnie Jones is good nature personified. There isn’t a soul at Eastern that doesn’t love her and there isn’t anybody Minnie doesn’t love, which is saying something. Minnie has a passion for pickles and belongs to the An. cient Honorable Order of the Sweet and Sour Pickles. “qq. dets” in general—those of Company “F” in particular— have a stronghold in her heart. JOSEPH RICHARD POWERS. Pat Powers—He of the golden tresses—Wears most of his golden tresses—On his chin—A fitting gift for Pat— From the faculty—Would be a Gillette Safety Razor—The cadet tailor—Got somebody else’s—Measurements instead of Pat’s—And when Pat first wore—His uniform—He shocked the teachers—By having his pants cuffs—Aboye his knees—He made a swell—Scoich Lassie—With his panties for a kiltie— DOLORES ALBERTA SANDERS. Way back in the corner little “Mousie” sits and thinks and studies. And no one knows what’s going on in that little head. She’s gone to Normal—because Uncle Sam wanted teachers and some day she’ll be “dear teacher” for some cute little kids. FLORENCE MAY CRAVEN. Yes, Florence is one of the few who always know their lessons. She is the pride of Miss Moore, the delight of Dr, Lieneweber, and the object of Mr. Warner’s commenda- tion. She is a crackerjack stenographer, and will probably make a hit with some fair young business man. THE SENIORS CATHERINE PEARL MALOY. She's the girl after me own heart—jolly, good-natured and true. She’s full of mischief, but has a guileless, de- mure look that often fools people. She's right there with the answer in Economics, too, and how about history, Pearl? Chief ambition—to tickle the ivories for the Presl- dent of the U. S. REBECCA COLOMEN. Rebecca is going to be a real sure-enough dentist. It's not merely a dream or a plan. She graduates from G. W. U. Dental School next June. She studies ALL the time, and, believe me, she means “bizz.” We've all promised to trot up to Niagara Falls, where she will practice, when we need a dentist, so Becky’s future is assured. FREDERICK OWEN. The man who designed—Freddy Owen’s neckties—Must have gone crazy—Or been crazy—For they're driving us crazy—They are vivid hallucinations—Of rising sunsets— Of setting moonshines—Of tropical snow-scenes-ete.—They have blinded so many—Of the faculty—That they have de- cided to—Graduate him—I'm sure if it wasn’t—For Fred- dy’s ties—We'd all miss Miner’s—Bright purple suit— Freddy's an athlete—And popular with—The ladies— MARY BESS BAILEY. Speech is silver, Silence is gold, Mary’s motto here behold. She never speaks except when told, For deeds are warm, Words oft are cold. EVELYN VIRGINIA WALCOTT. Here behold an allaround good sport , jolly, a good dancer and one whose particular fad is flirting with sol- diers. She’s a dandy artist and will doubtless win fame, unless she decides to become a Burke teacher or elopes with a soldier. Here’s luck to you, Evelyn, whichever it turns out to be. THE BUSINESS GRADS. BUSINESS LILLIAN MAY BROWN. (LILL.) Lillian is one of that bright, pretty and attractive kind of girls who are the friends of everyone. She “just loves’dancing and very much, but ecadets—S suit her better. Her long brown curls are the envy of the whole class. Lillian’s bright, pleasant smile will be very much missed when she leaves “dear old Eastern: RUTH AGNES RANNINGS. “PATSY.’ Here’s Ruth, who is very petite, She's a girl who is certainly sweet, No matter what cares Take her all unawares, Her luck with a smile she will meet. MABEL LOUISE FRIDINGER. “MAY.” One of the nicest and prettiest girls of the class. She is a true Easterner, anl if you don’t believe it, just say something that isn’t nice about Eastern, and if Mabel hears it, you will soon have to apologize. You can easily make friends with her if you talk to her about the movies. We shall always rec- ognize Mabel, and we do not have to see her, either. This mystery is all clear to you if you once hear her laugh. ELIZABETH SELBY KULLMAN. Haven't you seen that busy little girl who is always running around the corridors, THE CLASS 0°18 either for Miss Monk or Mr. Warner?- That is Elizabeth. You can see her any hour of the day in the typewriting room with work enough for two people, but she always gets it done on time. We know she will be a good stenographer, as she is such a ¢on- scient‘ous sort of girl. AMY EVA SHAPIRO. Amy is the life of the class. She is always gay, no matter what examinations come her way. Unprepared you will never find her. In English she is the star of the class; and if you ever want any shorthand transcribed, just go to Amy. She doesn’t forget the date either. Here’s wishing her success in any- thing she undertakes. ELVA LOUISE HARLAN, Elva is a maiden quiet, Who never disturbs or raises a riot. Now, Elva studies as hard as a turk, Because she believes there’s no word “shirk.” This little maid is a typist great, Who will in an office meet her mate. URSULA ANNO IVORY. “URS.” Ursula—The wit of the class, she is ad- mired by everyone for her cheerfulness and “pep.” We hate to knock, but honestly Ure would rather “Skip” class than skip rope. Give her a good book and she’s happy;- take her to a dance and she’s mournful. Indubi- tably, she will be a mighty fine stenogra- THE EASTERNER 18 ie f her pher, provided the “poss an ae oa read dime novels all day.

EUNICE CATHERINE GOODIE.” a If you ever want any candy, Just a Goodie and you'll be sure to get it, as ne always has a reserve supply. Her hobby ; going to Keith's with one of her friends a Central. At any rate, she is a good steno- grapher, and loyes to take dictation trom Mr. Hart. We all wish Goodie success in her business life. MARGUERITE CECILIA LARKIN. “MARG.” Who is Marguerite? You surely know her, She is the girl in 10b3 with the bunch of brown ringlets. Marguerite is a student, but then she does not spend all of her time in study. She has many good times with the “Boys in the Service.” GOOD. THE A, B, C’S FOR EASTERNITES. A stands for Alumni, whose race is run; B stands for Boys who are A num- ber 1.

Yes, you are right when you say that we are the class that Eastern should be the most proud of! We are very modest, and we do not make an effort to display our talents; but since everybody else does it, we feel it our duty, to set forth a few of our many redeeming points. In the first place, we are the jolli- est collection of girls and boys that ever sent laughter ringing through the halls of Eastern. We laugh at everything and at nothing. We real- ize the brevity of life, and the joy of living. We take life easy. We do not worry about little things. We do not believe in preparing lessons. We are firm disciples of the god, “Bluff.” We are galloping merrily through our course, without a worry, without a care. Our whole class knows that life is but a single mo- ment, which is to be enjoyed while it lasts. We are not unlike other classes in some respects. We have a number of girls beautiful, girls less beauti- ful, and girls not at a ll beautiful. We have boys handsome, and boys not so handsome. We give the old school our best athletes and brave cadets. We lend our piping voices to the Glee Club, and our money to the Bank. Not only is our class noted as a whole, but it is also famous for its individuals. There are the act- ress, Bessie Price; the champion ath- lete, Dawson; the debater, Elizabeth Duvall; the pious follower of “Bluff,” Pekofsky ; the mammoth eater, Char- lotte Bayly, who has lately taken to swallowing dimes; the artist, Doro- thy Williams; the genius, Minor Stout; the authoress, Katherine Mc- Cauley ; the comedian, Alice Ashford, and the millionaire, Thomas Brimer, besides many others. Now, what more could one expect of a class than that? It will be °19 that will always be remembered. The teachers will say that we were the joy of their hearts, even though we tortured them often. Please do not weep yet, or faculty, of Eastern, for we have still one more year to enjoy. Even after we have graduated, ’19 will always be loyal, faithful and true to the teach- ers and the school that gave us our start in life. E. G. E., 719. A casual observer on October 1, 1916, in the famous hall of “Old Eastern,” would have noticed the greenest bunch of Freshmen that ever walked into Eastern High. Tf, however, that same observer had happened to be in these same halls on September 21, 1917, he would have noticed a great change. He would have seen the ones who had been cautiously snooping about, dodging away from the paths of the great Seniors, and poking their heads into a room here or a room there, and getting mixed up in their classes in 1916, now proudly marching through the corridors, not condescending to look at the poor Freshmen, who were covered with abject fear at their awe- inspiring approach. - Now we have finished the Sopho- more year, and by this time Eastern knows that there is such a thing as the class of ’20. We have our fel- lows in the Rifle Club, Cadets, Or- chestra, Dramatics, and in the Foot- ball, Basketball and Baseball as well as the Track Teams. The girls of that class are doing things that are just as good. They are in the Glee Club and Orchestra and are engaging DW in Red Cross work, and many other things. Every one of us loves “Old Eastern,” and there’s not a one that wouldn’t work his finger nails off to come out on the top in everything. There's not one slacker in the class; all of us have that same school spirit for which Eastern is famous. As students our class is pretty good. We have no brilliant pupils in it, but those we have are hard working ones, who get everything, by work and hard work. If we go in for anything, we go in to win or we know the rea- son why. Soon we shall have passed another milestone on the flowery path of knowledge, and I know well that there will be a lot of sighs of satis- faction from the lucky ones, who look backward and see the path over which they have toiled, but this sat- isfaction will be short-lived, for on turning their heads, there stretching out before them is another long road. Then this time with a sigh of res- ignation we pick up our burden and start struggling to the next mile- stone, where we shall become the great, important, awe-inspiring Se- niors. C. Lanham, ’20. THE THE FRESHMAN CLASS ’21. It was an enthusiastic and jolly bunch of green Freshmen who en- tered Old Eastern’s portals last Sep- tember. Our enthusiasm has not been dampened, but rather strength- ened by our older and wiser upper classmen’s example. Our first week taught us many lessons. We were the butt of the Soph’s jokes. We wandered aimlessly around the build- ing in search of illusive rooms. We rigidly obeyed all orders and strove in every way to lose our greenness which clung to us. Our class is distinguished by being the first Freshman class of Eastern to organize. On February 15 our first meeting was held. Dr. Small presided and officers were elected as follows: President, Mr. McCully; vice-president, Miss Halsey; secre- tary, Miss’ Young, and treasurer, Mr. Hardy. A second meeting was held on April 10, when it was decided that sa Freshman Debating Society should “be formed. After members were— elected, it held its first meeting on April 17. The Freshmen are always on the job. We’ve got the pep, and if any- thing’s doing, look for the class of 21 to be in on it. Companies F and G are going to come out on the top! Why? Because the Freshmen are the backbones of them. Eastern will occupy a larger place on the map in the next four years! Why? Because of ’21. We Freshmen have backed every school activity. We sub- scribed 100 per cent first to W. S. S. The Red Cross and the “Books for Soldiers” movements were a success because of our help. Glee Club, Or- chestra, Baseball, Football, and Bas- ketball have our unanimous support. The Freshmen had a large part in the Circus. Those who did not take part helped make it a success by buy- ing and selling tickets. Eastern, you can depend on ’21.

The Inter-High-School indoor-meet was held May 3 and 4. In the three matches in which the Eastern team took part, the School match, the Bat- talion match, and the Company match, we got fourth, second, and second places respectively. The members of the team were: S. Robb, J. R. Burns, A. Lord, G. C. Havenner, W. Pekofsky and E. Haworth. Considering the fact that little in- terest has been taken in the Rifle Club this year, and that there were TWO—Easterner only two or three in the school who | could be called good shots, the show- ing the team made was, on the whole, very satisfactory. Permission has been obtained by the school authorities to use the Ma- rine Corps range at Quantico. The outdoor meet will be held there May 25. In the last issue of the Easterner it was stated that it was feared the Rice Medal match could not be held. About two weeks later Mr. Schwartz received a letter from Mr. Rice, with an order for. the medals enclosed, so there are three medals to try for, as last year. The match will be run off during three days, May 14, 21 and 28. Ellis Haworth, 719. SENIORS PERFORM REAL SER- VICE FOR EASTERN. First Time in History of School. As Seniors usually leave school in June, Eastern has never had their services for more than one year, but now we hear that the Se- nior Class has relented enough to leave us possibly a half dozen mem- bers. Their services can hardly be underestimated. Their presence here will give the school the long- needed morale and physical support that this year’s Senior Class is fa- mous for. Their mental condition is somewhat below par; but their athletic prowess overshadows that. Flunking, that never-failing insti- tution has performed a real service for the school this year. So here’s to one of the most patriotic classes of Eastern. We have been waiting for a spark of that fire which illuminated our distinguished schoolmate, Cameron Burton, in his day, to break forth in his sister, “Maggie” Burton. But, so far, we seem to have waited in’ vain. Alas, that inherited genius goes to waste because of lack of ambition. It has been recommended that we call attention to the fact that the Bank Staff is too inattentive to the business of the Bank. In order to put a stop to this, we would suggest two remedies; that the sweethearts cf the members of the Staff please keep away from the bank during banking hours, except on banking business; and that the members of the Staff please stay in the bank in- stead of roaming about the corri- dors talking to their fair ones. Fords, according to our eminent chauffer, “Wee Willie Thomas,” were made to run upside down as well as right side up. (Ask Willie and the heiress.) We all know what Sherman said about war. Well some of us often wonder whether, had Sherman ever studied Latin or English at Eastern, he would have condemned war so heavily.

With the termination of these sports the competition ends for the year. It has been a very successful year for competition in Eastern. Led by Dr. Battersby, the boys of the school have worked hard to bring victory to Eastern, and in a great many cases have stemmed the tide of- opposition and brought home the bacon. Football, the first branch of sport, turned out very well. In basketball, a green team captained by Willie Thomas, was able to win second place. With a well balanced team in baseball, Eastern is fighting hard for second place. Our first ap- pearance in track under the new coach gave us points in the meet, every man entering the meet receiv- ing ribbons. The above record is due in large part to the willingness and activity of the coach and the hard work of the various teams. Thanks is due to the student body for the splendid way in which it supported the teams, plays, and athletic asso- ciation. ps In the opening game of ‘the base- ball series Eastern defeated Business 7-4. The game was featured by rather loose playing and wild run- ning of bases, 23 thefts being regis- tered during the fray. Thomas, shortstop, played the best individual game of the day.

At the inter-high-school meet Thomas and Fridinger, both supporters of all branches of sport, won third place in five events.

The competitive drill is now a mat- ter of history, and it is a pleasant history for Central, which grabbed all the places for good measure tied for second, thus performing the great mathematical fear of “cop- ping” four out of three. We natur- ally were keenly disappointed, for we felt that Eastern did exceedingly well. This opinion was verified when it was learned that both companies lost, not from poor drilling, but on the inspection. F lead all the com- panies in drill by a fraction of a point, but could not attain the high standard of perfection in their in- spection necessary to retain their advantage. This is simply a state- ment of fact. We do not intend it for an alibi, nor do we wish to take away any credit from the winners, but we feel that Easternites should know the circumstances. The spirit in which the boys ac- cepted defeat is highly commend- able. One, on seeing them on the night after the drill, would hardly have thought that they had lost at all.. “Horselaughs” were given freely, but amid it all, there pervaded that indomitable Eastern spirit which ac- companies our boys in all lines of en- deavor. The spirit of sportsmanship and fair play was never more force- fully demonstrated. To lose was un- AX fortunate, but to ke a good loser jg praiseworthy. Everyone had a good time at the celebration. After plenty of “eats.” there were plenty of speeches and cheers galore. Besides the officers, the following speakers addressed us: Ex-Captains, Barkman, Boteler, Men- gert, Simmering and Baker; Bx. Lieut. Colonel Maier; Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Hart, Dr. Small and Mr. Blair. The captains briefly expressed their sentiments and announced the winners of the various medals for the year. The awards in “F” were made as follows: Best cadet, Pvt, Waite; honorable mention, Pyt. Wal- cott; best disciplined cadet, Pvt. R. Burns; honorable mention, Pyt. Wal- cott; corporal prize squad, Corporal Hardy; best inexperienced cadet, Pvt. Rassbach; honorable mention, Pyts. Miller, McLaughlin, Virnstein, Kindle; best February cadet, Pvt. Hann.

The captains thanked the men of their companies for their work dur- ing the year and expressed the hope that they would re-enlist next yeay, We wish to assure the girls out of hearty appreciation for their fine work in providing the supper, They certainly served us well and it is re- gretable that we could not rewarq them with the “Grand Old Rag.” “Eddie and Fish” cannot find words to thank their men for their gifts. Eddie is an expert time keeper now—just ask him what time it is; and Fish—oh, that pose with the fist on his face. Well, it’s some ring, any- how, we don’t blame you,Fish. THE NEW EDITOR.

It’s our service flag, flying So high in the air, And there’s love in each fold of it, Shining up there. There’s red there for honor, And blue there for truth, And that white stands for purity, We all have the proof. There’s a star there for all Who have gone to their flag, And because it is Eastern’s There was no one to lag. There’s a star for each Man, Who is giving his all, And has come forth to answer, His country’s big call. There’re one hundred and eighty, Which stand for the ones Who are facing or are willing To face the big guns. And there’s one star of mourning, Of bright shining gold, Which stands for a hero, Who has died, I am told. But, living or dead, They’re all heroes to us, Who stand for the Right, For a cause that is just. And shoulder to shoulder These schoolmates will fight, Until all the world Stands for Right and not Might. It’s the prayer of us all, That our flag soon shall wave, “O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave.” Maude J. Bayles, 718. SNAP SHOTS. SNAP SHOTS.

There was a “Farewell assembly” Monday, April 22, for the Senior girls who were leaving to go to Nor- mal and for Miss Merrill, who was leaving for further study in the work of organization of girls. Miss Gardner, representing the faculty, spoke of their regret at los- ing the ir worthy collegue. Eddie Burns, representing the student body, bid “farewell” to the girls. Dorothea Cook, as spokesman for the Normal girls, said a few words in ap- preciation of what Eastern had done for them. There were also selections by the Glee Club and the Orchestra. The last week of the Third Liberty Loan Drive there was an essay con- test for every one in school. A win- ner was picked from every semester, and he delivered his essay in assem- bly. There was a board of judges, consisting of Major Henry Leonard, U. S. M. C., Mr. W. P. Hay, head of Department of Biology and Chemis- try at Tech and De Witt C.

I am sure that after Mr. Blain’s very interesting talk we would all like to be mining engineers. At this assembly, too, the Glee Club sang “Sing, Smile, Slumber” and the Or- chestra played “Indianola.” Wednesday morning, May 22, we had an assembly to help, boost the Red Cross Drive. Mr. Charles W.

C. Volume XXX NOVEMBER, 1918 Number 1 A Successful Career Have you ever noticed that people who do worth- while things, who make their lives count for something, who do not live in vain, are the most unobtrusive folks in the world? It is the unimportant, insignificant person who, by his boasting and vaunting, puts himself in the limelight to the boredom of a long suffering audience. The successful man is inclined to hide his light under a bushel. This may be due to his modesty, or his inherent dislike of show. At any rate, he is rarely appreciated by the world, and it is only when he is pushed forward, and forced to display his works, that the public awakens to his ability. In many cases, this exhibition has to be made by another. This is true of my subject. You and I know a man who is daily devoting his life to schools and scholars, and who is asking no thanks, and no reward, and no publicity, other than the good work of the students under his control. This man has himself an unusual school record. In 1895 he graduated from our own Eastern High, from whose dear, shabby walls many illustrious men have gone forth to brilliant, eventful, useful lives. The next year found him at Washington Normal School, from which he graduated in 1896, and he finished his course at George Washington University in 1910. He taught in the graded schools of the District from 1897 to 1900, and fortunate were those who studied under him, for “Souninge in moral vertu was his speche And gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly teche.” During this time, he also taught English in the Night High School. In 1900, he was made principal of a public night school, and received in the same year his appointment as teacher of Commercial subjects in the Business High School. From this time on, for a number of years, he was connected with this school, in various activities. All branches of school work inter- ested him, for he is broad minded in the best sense of the word. For sixteen years he was chairman of the Military Committee at Business, and for eight years was Faculty Adviser in Athletics. In 1908, he suc- ceeded Mr. Thurston as Head of the Department of Business Practice. You have heard a great deal about the High School Banks, and, perhaps, if you have made use of them, you realize that they were an inspiration, and could not now be dispensed with. Well, this man who never talks about himself, organized and put into operation the first High School Bank of Washington, in 1911. They have become a flourishing institution, and many years from now will stand a strong and effective monument to his name. Many young men and women who now hold good positions in the business world have him to thank for them, as for several years he was in charge of the Employment Department of the Business High School, and under the direction of the Alumni Association of that school, worked with tireless effort to launch the young graduates on successful careers. On February 25, 1918, he was appointed temporary principal of Eastern High School, and on July 1, 1918, when Dr. Small resigned, he was made permanent principal. So he came back to the old school, which he loves as all who know it love it; and we welcome him gladly and proudly, for his success is our success. With all our hearts, we give three cheers for Mr. Hart. Honor Bestowed on Our Scholars In June of 1918, Eastern first officially recognized the pupils who supported the school’s standard in that field in which schools should be pre-eminently inter- ested. The various students who had distinguished themselves in the school’s activities were called to the platform of the Assembly Hall, and given some tangible evidence of the school’s appreciation of their labors. Up to the last year, all events but scholastic attainment had been so recognized. On this occasion blue ribbons were presented to the Honor students, by Miss Johnson, chairman of the Honors Committee. E. V. D,, 19. YEAR HONORS FOR SEPTEMBER CLASSES JUNE, 1918.

And while the peace terms are being concluded over there, we are making democracy safe for the world, here at home, This was made clear to us in an inspiring assempy, November 9th, when Mr. Alling, one of the Y. M. ¢, A. secretaries, told us how to be true boys and girls o f victory. Mr. Alling has been ‘Over There,” doing the wonderful work of his organization. He told us of the splendid spirit of our boys in the trenches; how tee go into the fight, eagerly welcoming it, and ready, if necessary, to make the supreme sacrifice, But when the fight is over, the critical time begins. Then re. action sets in} the boys have nothing to do, and despondency is always ready to take ahand. Then the Yy. M.C. A. and its sister organizations prove them- selves invaluable, by keeping the boys cheerfully occy- pied. It does not take much, an old victrola, and soldiers’ voices singing, or it may be only a quiet corner where a letter may be written home. It seems so little to us, it means so much to them, powder-grimed, tired, and sick for home. And you, who do not feel these hardships, and make these sacrifices. Are you going to let your brothers, your friends’ brothers, suffer alone? No, you will stand behind them, and help your servants and theirs these noble War Work organizations, to lift the rae in our armies from their lonely thoughts, and send them back to your firesides, clean, strong, and fit to help you solve the future problems of the world. And, when they return, you will not be ashamed to look them in the face ,and say: “T, too, have done what I could.” LET EVERY EASTERNER GIVE AT LEAST $5.00. 4 Alice Ashford inquires of her dear teacher: “Mrs, Doggett, is Burke dead yet?” Absolutely, no hope! 4 Welcome, Freshman Eastern gives her heartiest welcome to her Fresh- men, and sincerely hopes that they will not be back- ward about entering into the activities of the school The Freshmen should inquire concerning the different clubs, and be ready to join the one they like the most.

', James Frank Hagan, ex-’16, the first of Eee boys to fall in action, was killed during one of th recent drives, on September 12, 1918. The Coe to his country which this young soldier felt was of the most exalted kind. So anxious was he to serve he underwent, at his own expense, an operation to remove a physical defect which the army sure eis considered an insuperable obstacle to his service. fils class and his school may well be proud of such patriot- ism in the first Eastern boy to fall in battle. Thomas H. Farnsworth, ‘14, died of wounds which he had réceived on September 13, 1918, two hours before his death. The following extract from a lett Lieut. Louis Rockwell, describes worth’s plucky fight: ol ae peek is reserve with a platoon on the edge of Bois du Fey about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon, September 13, when an air battle started overhead. Suddenly one American plane careened and at least one man fell from it. The plane was seemingly about te drop out of control when it was righted again and guided in an unsteady spiral groundward, The pilot was evidently in distress, and at times looked as though he could not keep it upright. However, he succeeded in bringing it t o a safe landing, but in the woods. I was afraid that aid would not reach him quickly, and was so attracted by his gameness that I broke army rules and left my platoon to search for him. I found him not far back and was the first man to reach him. He was lying on his back, wounded in the chest and arm, but still fighting gamely, for his first words were, ‘They haven't got me, yet.’ They had, however, for he died about two hours later in the hospital at Jaulny. His fall was one of the gamest acts I’ve seen in this war, that is chock full of gameness.” Another Star for Our Service Flag Just as THe EasTerner is going to press, word is received of the death in France, October 10, from pneumonia, of Corporal Charles E, Chambers, 1908, a member of the 312th Machine Gun Battalion, with which he had lately participated in their brilliant attack north of Verdun. His wife, who is a former Eastern girl, and his parents, have the heartfelt sympathy in this sorrow of the many friends who were attracted during Charles’ high school years by his sterling qualities. Eastern will cherish reverently the memory of this soldier son. er from his cousin, Licutenant Farns- ——————— UR WOUNDED “DEVIL DOGS” Eastern This Way Richard O, Sanderson, 08: “This hospital is filled with wounded, and another convoy is expected soon, The other day, Lieutenant McCaffrey, of Washington, with whom I went to school at Eastern, called to see a friend, and incidentally ran into me. He has been exceedingly gracious, having sent five gallons of ice ten gallons of lemonade, cake and pie, twice FROM O cream, : zs enough to feed all the officers in this ward. The ice cream came first, and when the nurse questioned me about it, I remarked that it was my birthda y. Since then I have had several birthdays.” Frank W. Watson, ex-’18: “Just remember, Mother, that Iam not badly hurt, and that the war will not last forever. I have found out that if you do not worry and keep smiling all the time, you will come out all right.” Captain Hilder, 1900, probably inspired by the work of these boys and others, writes from London: “It was great to be in uniform when the news of Chateau Thierry reached here. One was held up on the streets and in the restaurants every day by people who wanted to congratulate us on the news. The Amercian is certainly ‘ace high’ in this little town these days.” a Hurrah for 1915! Raymond G, Clark, who has experienced the un- Jeasant sensation of being gassed while fighting on the Western Front, has returned to this country and is now an instructor at Camp Funston, Kansas. Eastern had the pleasure of greeting Captain Clark while he was home on a short visit. Gilbert C. Clark recently distinguished himself dur- ing a fire at Cape May naval base. He succeeded in removing a quantity of T. N. T. to a safe distance, thus saving the lives of many. While doing this, Ensign Clark suffered a personal injury. b 4 Out of the Fire into the Frying Pan Herbert C. Graves, jr., ‘16: “Our section is located on the front with a division of French troops, who are noted throughout France for their bravery. One day the German shells were landing around the woods where our section was located, so we moved immedi- ately. Three days later, at our present site, shrapnel was bursting overhead and one ball flew in the potatoes I was frying. And yet they say familiarity breeds contempt! Far from it.” EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL EASTERN IN THE GREAT WAR RICHARD B. ENGLISH, EX- ’12, WINS FRENCH CITATION Mr. R. B. English, an American volunteer serving with the American Sanitary Section U641, of the 120th Division, has received the following regimental citation: An energetic and courageous and devoted driver, stopping voluntarily in his section as a mechanic. Distinguished himself particularly several times when going out to repair broken- down ambulances of his section, While carry- ing several wounded on the Carriere d’Houd- romont road he was seen by the enemy and violently shelled. 4 A Masquerade Clifford V. Church, 06: “I am wearing my gas mask now, while writing this letter, with my face bound in a mask, my nose stuck between a pair of pincers, and a rubber tube stuck in my mouth. But I should like to have you understand that it is much funnier to talk about than to wear it.” 4 Even France Seems Small at Times C. W. Steves, 16: “Well, let me tell you some of the news, before I start asking questions. Yesterday I went to , which is a pretty large town, to spend Sunday, I had to go to the Provost Marshal to get my pass stamped. Just as I was coming out, I saw a M. T. S. (Motor Transport Service) rider, and he was just rambling on. I thought I knew that face, but I wasn’t at all sure, Anyway, I yelled, ‘Oh, Torrey!’ He turned around on his motorcycle and looked to see who it was. When he saw me, his face was all smiles, and mine was open from ear to ear. We shook hands in the name of ’16, and the first thing that either of us said was, ‘Have you heard from Eastern?” We had a talk, and do you know he is the first D, C. boy I have seen since joining the army?” Dx Note The E. H. S. War Correspondents hope to have ready for a later issue of THE EASTERNER a list of additional names for the Roll of Honor. They. will be grateful for any information as to changes in rank or address of men now on the Roll, or for new ones which should be added. WHEN “OVER THERE” HEARS FROM EASTERN Thomas Farnsworth, '14. ‘Tom's many friends will be glad to learn from his last letter to Hester Boteler that before he died he had the pleasure of reading the latest school news: “Tue EasTERNeR came last night with two Alumni News, and I certainly was glad to get them. They gave me lots of good ‘dope’ and a real pleasure in reading them.” Albert Cummings, ex-'18: “I appreciate the fact that the school thinks enough of us to drop us a word of encouragement. It’s nothing but pure Eastern spirit through and through.” Helge Dieserud, 14: “Great cheer was brought to me yesterday. My first bit of mail since I left the States, one month ago, managed to hunt me out and place itself in my mail box. Of course, it contained that highly welcomed EasTerNer and Alumni Bulletin.” p 4 The Call of Autumn There's a long, white road, And a nipping frost, And a north-wind, wild and free; There’s relief from my load, And a last care lost In the call of the road for me. Winding silent and still Neath the deep blue sky, While the treetops burst with flame; Over plain and hill Does its free way lie, That highway that is known to fame. Oh, the air is wild; Like a silver horn Is the Autumn’s ringing call ; And the leaves are piled Neath the trees all shorn; Oh! the best time of all is the Fall. Dorotny D. Rourer, 19. Thanksgiving For native land, and home, and fireside dreams, Unshorn by ruthless foes ; For homeland, children, still not knowing tortured screams ; For enemies thrown back on foreign shores ; For Jands and homes redeemed ; For brave defenders still protecting stores; For freedom, still held fast for great and small By pain and sacrifice ; For righteousness, and mercy, honor, courage—all, We thank Thee, Lord. rs RsTERNES ae Service Someone, wonderfully wise and farsecing, “The time has come when the man or woman is Wo be measured not by family, not by money, not by position, but by service.” Isn't “service” a wonderful word, and doesn’t it mean a great deal to you at this time? Why, every one of you has a father or brother or friend in the service. Perhaps your mothers and older sisters ate in it, too, doing Y. W. C. A. and Red Cross work. And think of all those who display so proudly the little buttons, which announce. triumphantly that the wearer is the owner of a Liberty Bond, that especial form of “service” which does two-fold duty! On! we could go on enumerating endlessly the many, many servers, WhO make up this wondrous brotherhood, which has shown the whole wide wor ld how pure, how simple, how great, is the throbbing, breathing, living soul of America. Therefore, when our Government asked that maga- zines serve by using only one color on their covers, and so save dyes, Tae EasTerner stepped proudly into line. If we, by reducing the number of colors used on our magazine cover, could, in any way, how- ever small, be of service to our country, we considered ourselves fortunate. The same applies to the different arrangement of our pages. The price of paper has soared tremen- dously, and in consequence we have a larger printing space and a smaller margin. Regarding such things, the Frenchman says, “C’est la guerre,” with an ex- pressive shrug of his shoulders, and then immediately goes to work to prove his indifference by putting forth every effort towards the winning of the war. We admire and respect the Frenchman, but we haven't any mind to let him outstrip us in fortitude and patience. So our boys on the Business Staff are strong in the service of the magazine. They have done fine work with the advertising, and this despite the fact that many of the old advertisers, whom they were confi- dently counting on to renew their contracts, were un- able to do so, as their various businesses were non- essentials, and so had to close. Of course, these men would have willingly re-inserted their advertisements had their businesses continued, but they, too, had been called into the great army of service. Of course, the boys had to hustle around and get new advertisements. ‘The army of “service” is open to all. The youngest child, the oldest man, may volunteer.

When no one knows it, According to this definition, we fear that Eastern comes pretty near to not having a school song. Now, it seems to us that the students are showing a rather poor school spirit when they don’t seem to care enough for their school to learn their school songs. We re- fuse to believe, however, that any one at Eastern does not care for his school. We are, therefore, forced to dents have been too lazy to go the conclusion that the stu to the bother of having to hunt up a copy of the songs we have in the Library. ‘To make up for this laziness, decided that, since the students won't go to the songs, we shall send the songs to the students. The songs, together with the school cheers, will be found on an- other page of this issue. This will give a copy to nearly every student at Eastern. With such splendid facilities for learning the school we think that there is no excuse for not learning them. Let each one of us make a vow to himself that before the next Assembly he will know the song and cheers—and then keep that vow. We wish also to call attention to the new seal that appears on the same page with the songs and cheers. It was designed by Miss Van Doren, of the Art De- partment, and it seems to us particularly. appropriate, as it is a view very familiar to the students at Eastern. E. H. S., 719. songs and cheers, 4 Before school was dismissed on account of the eni- demic, there was an Assembly to boost the sale of THe FEAsTERNER, and to encourage pupils to deposit their money in the School Bank. Nathaniel Brewer told us why we should buy Tur EASTERNER, and the pleasure we should derive from its purchase. Seymore Robb and Ellis Haworth told, respectively, of the origin of High School Banks, and what we should do to keep the bank in our schcool. EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL A Small Boy and a Memory “T'm going to stay to church, Sister,” Willie, aged 5, greeted his big sister, as she mounted the church steps with a fine looking specimen of Uncle Sam's Army. “And I’m going to sit beside Tom, too,” he finished, with adoring little-boy eyes on his hero. His sister, inwardly dismayed, but outwardly confi- dent, passed airily over his assertion. “Why, Willie! Are you here yet? It’s nearly church time. Run along and catch up with the other children.” Small Willie planted his feet firmly on the steps and looked defiantly up into his sister’s face, repeated his statement a little more slowly, and with decidedly more emphasis, adding that Mother had said he might, with a challenging finality. Sister Marion was dismayed. Willie had stayed to church with her once before. “Mother will be along presently, Willie, and you can stay with her,” she urged, but her tone was not so confident now. “T’m going to sit right beside Tom,” Willie reaffirmed, as he slipped his hand into Tom’s. Tom smiled questioningly down into Marion’s eyes. With a little gesture of resignation, she again turned to Willie. “Tf you will promise me that you'll be good, you may stay,” she exacted with as much authority as she could command. “Sure,” promised Willie, happily. When they were seated, it was with Willie in the center. Sister saw to that. Willie bowed his head in unison with Sister and Tom. Sister Marion raised her head after a short but fervent prayer, which had for its main subject, Willie, just in time to see Willie, intent on watching the feet of the people sitting behind, balance precariously on the very edge of the seat. She grasped his little shoul- der gently, but firmly, and drew him upright. Willie looked up with a much abused expression. “You might have fallen and made a noise,” she told him sternly. “Oh, I wouldn’t have, either,” he retorted in a stage whisper. He took the proffered hymn book and testament, and in a very few moments had exhausted the attractions of both. ‘The organ and choir held his attention for a little time, and then the music began to pall on him. He was thirsty now, but Sister only shook her head. He tried Tom. Tom also seemed to think a drink was out of the question, but compromised by strapping his wrist watch: on Willie’s wrist. Willie was delighted, and immediately forgot his thirst. The watch had been a happy inspiration, but even its novelty had begun to wear off by the time the minister began his prayer. The peaceful silence was broken only by the deep, rich tones of the minister’s voice. The minister was especially loquacious this morning, and poor Willie thought he would never finish. He raised his head at last, and rubbed his tired neck. Observing that his sister was unaware of his change of position, he leaned comfortably against the back of the pew and surveyed the bowed heads of the people in front. He tired of that presently and lowered his gaze. What was that wire thing under the pew in front? He slid down a little farther until he could see. Oh! it was a place for ahat. The Panama hat of the fat, bald-headed man sitting directly in front of Willie and successfully obstructing his view, reposed there peacefully. Willie wondered if he could reach it with his foot. With the thought came the desire to make the attempt. He tried. Almost! Sliding cautiously down in the seat, he stretched as far as he could. Not quite! A last desperate effort and—whang! The wire contriv- ance banged against the seat with a startling loud clang. The big bald man in front jumped violently, as did everyone nearby, and, turning about, glared threateningly at the frightened culprit. A girl in back of them giggled. People around craned, very decor- ously, to see who had committed such an unheard-of act. The minister stuttered momentarily, then hurried on, Willie ventured a look at Tom, and received a purposely disappointed glance. He turned to look at Sister Marion, with a little cold chill playing up and down his back, but she was not looking at him. Head bent, cheeks scarlet, striving desperately to keep back the tears of mortification, she impressed Willie with the awfulness of his crime much more than any punishment that could have been inflicted on him. Sensitive almost to a fault, she was miserably aware of the eyes that were boring into her back; of the in- dignant bald man in front, and of the minister’s flus- tered tone. She had so wanted Tom’s last Sunday to be full of only pleasant memories. Willie, thoroughly ashamed of himself and desiring to comfort his sister, wriggled close to her, and, pulling one of her hands into his lap, began to pat it con- solingly. Tom, little caring what any one thought, reached over and possessively clasped the soft fingers that Willie held. Presently the struggle with the tears was over. Perhaps it was the fact that Tom's han d was so much larger than Willie’s that made it so helpful. (Continued on page 16) THE EASTERNER 4 alqag es elselsalaaloeloeleya! WEATHER, CLEAR.

At lunch period of the second day groups gathered in the corridor everywhere. Gradually they merged into one massive body, 400 strong.

Under the auspices of the sly, slippery, sleuth, Mr. Jett, two suspects have been kept under close surveil- ance. Mr. Jett stated that he would be willing to go without his tenth sandwich at lunch, in order to keep those suspected of this dastardly deed within the range of his eagle eye. The day of the crime was well suited to the deed. It was a dark, dank, dismal day; the very atmosphere had an air of foreboding. At three minutes after 12 the news crashed upon us, or rather Mr. Jett did as a bolt from the threatening sky. The following is the way the murder was discovered. Mr. Jett was practicing a little jazz on his trombone in Room 8 (he jazzes for a little side issue when his marvelous master mind is not at work on some mys- tery), when the air and noise from his trombone and mouth combined raised several sheets of paper from the floor, and there lay the victim exposed to the eyes of our hero. After gazing upon the remains for sev- eral minutes, he finally reached the conclusion that it was a cold blooded, premeditated murder. Then our Marvelous Master Mind hero, trombone in hand, recklessly precipitated himself out of the room, dashed down the stairs one step ata time, and broke the terrible news to us. Mr. Jett says it looks as though the deceased were enticed to a round, slippery place and then given a shove, which led to his slipping, and thence to his premature death. At present, our sleuth informs us that he is not able to divulge the names of the suspects; therefore, we shall call them for the present, Dr, R—— and Mr. S—. We all place the greatest trust and confidence in the ability of Mr. Jett. We also wish to slate that we appreciate the sacrifice he is willing to make to get to the bottom of this crime. The following death notice was inserted by the rela- tives of the deceased: Obituary In sad but loving remembrance of Mr. Blue Bottle Fly, who ended this life suddenly on the 17th day of October. He leaves to mourn his death, Mr. and Mrs. Dragon Fly, Miss Butterfly, Mr, House Fly, Mr. Horse Fly, and his loving wife, Mrs. B. Bottle (nee Sheep) Fly, and a host of other relatives.

The rest of the opening exercises went smoothly enough, and at last the sermon was successfully launched. 3 The warm, sweet, June air; the sunshine filtering through the stained glass, and the droning of the minis- ter’s voice, all served to make Willie's eyelids droop lower and lower. Sleepily he curled about and pil- lowed his head on Sister Marion’s lap and, with a contented little sigh, dropped off to sleep. His sister gently pushed the hair back from the flushed face and looking up at Tom, read something in his eyes that made her lower hers again to Millie's face. It is a bleak night in France, and our Tom is on sentry duty. A suspicious little noise sounds from out in No-Man’s land. ‘Tom strains eyes and ears in an effort to ascertain the source of the noise. Just then some star shells burst and reveal a motionless waste. Tom relaxes a little and lets his mind wander. In his mind’s eye he sees Marion, sometimes as she looked the night of her last dance, or on the last walk to- gether; but most often it is the remembrance of the Picture she made sitting there in church that mem- orable Sunday morning with her mischievous little brother’s head in her lap, and the sunshine bringing out the gold tints in her hair and eyes. It is a picture that brings a tender, reminiscent smile to his lips, and helps make the long nights seem less nerve racking.

Instead of the boys and girls having separate section rooms they are now seated together in the same section rooms. There has also been a change made in the seating in the Assembly Hall. Instead of the boys being on the south side, and the girls on the north, the boys of the separate sections are seated behind the girls of those sections. 4 School News The following are members of the Boys’ Student Council for 1918: Carl Tyler, eighth semester; Sey- mour Robb, seventh semester (president) ; Humphrey Walsh, sixth semester; C.

THE EASTERNER This year, on account of the Spanish influenza epi- demic, the High Schools were compelled to abandon Football. Schools were closed about the time practice was to begin, and did not open for a month, so that it was too late in the season to start practice and then play the Championship Series among the different schools, The Basketball practice will begin on November i, and every boy in school is expected to come out for the school team. We want the boys in their first year t0 come out for the team, and even though you cannot make the team, as you are not eligible, you will get the practice and have a good chance for the team the next year. We shall be greatly handicapped this season by the loss of our “all-star,” Thomas, though we still have two of our “E” men back, Reed and Litchfield. Coach Battersby is back again with us, and we all want to stand behind him, so that we may have as good a Basketball team as last year’s. We want every boy to see that his studies are up to the mark, come out and make the team, and help this year’s teams to become champions. We know that we have the smallest en- rollment of boys in the High Schools, but that does not matter, if in our school every boy is up in his studies, out for the team, and doing his best to make his team a winner. Let every Freshman and Sophomore come out for the teams, and get from the game all that a sportsman should, beside helping your school. The third and fourth year boys are supposed to have enough School Spirit and grit to make a team, or at least try for one. When the athletic tickets are given out, every one in school must subscribe. This, together with School Spirit, will go a long way toward making this a big year for Eastern Aan B. Dawson. The Corner Drug Store It couldn’t have been a year ago That a lot of the boys I used to know, Young fellows that ought to be making their way Earning a living, as I say, They hung around all through the day At the drug store on the corner.

There was nobody ‘round, Still and quiet, not a sound, Not a living thing but Frank’s old hound, Dejected-like in a heap on the ground, At the drug store on the corner. Cause William Willetts, Joe, and Bill, Rob, Silas, Seth, Frank, Jack Hill, The whole bunch, and a hundred more, Have up, and left, and gone to war To fight and die on a foreign shore.

Stour, ie EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL Promising Outlook for Rifle Club ‘The chances of a good Rifle Club this year look very promising indeed. The first meeting of the year was held Friday, November 8th, in Room 9, and there were thirty-one new members present, with a Probability of more later on. The officers of the club were elected as follows : Mr. Schwartz, president; Haworth, captain; Engle, assistant captain; Dawson, secretary, and Burns, treasurer. The first target practice will be held Friday, Novem- ber 15th, in the Gym. The dues have been raised to 50 cents a semester on account of the advanced cost of cartridges. Nearly the whole of last year’s team is in school this year, and we should be able to give the other schools a run for their money. School Gossip A part of an epistle received by Miss Boyd from David Gates reads thus: “When I come back from France, what kind of a present shall I bring you? Helen Smith wants a Belgian orphan, and Dorothy Rohrer wants an Iron Cross. Now, let me know what you desire, so that I can seize it for you on my way to Berlin.” Miss Boyd, in hasty reply: “Please bring me a few gas masks for unnuly pupils, who insist in occupying the Library,” (Whom can she mean, anyway?) 4 A few evenings ago, a great crowd gathered around Buddy, as he unconsciously gazed about him with much vexation, Suddenly, the war workers heard him exclaim: “Oh, we don’t have this many people in Beanville, where I came from, and we don’t have to stand up on the street cars, either!” Something is wrong some where, but we don’t know what it is. Compliments of Miner Kennedy Stout A Girlin 116 O, list, unto the story I repeat, A tale so true about a girl so sweet. Twas on a perfect, golden, Autumn day, When to her home some friends did wend their way ; “O, come, and roam beneath the changing trees, And wander cross fields swept by autumn’s breeze.” But to their plea she answered in dismay, “T don’t see how ’tis possible to play, When there is History and French to do, Besides the Latin and the English, too. And so, much as I hate to stay at home, While you, through fields and meadows gaily roam, I must my mind to lessons bravely bend, And over book and paper all time spend.” And so from day to day and week to week, This maid does study and no pleasure seek. Yet, when her fickle, playful, foolish friends, Bout dates and names, a dozen questions send, She whispers, “I don’t know a single one, For really, I have not a lesson done.” Of course, she knows them all, but will not say, She had to study and no time to play. And when reports come round, her’s shows all “E’s,” Her friends get only “G's,” and “F's,” and “D's,” ELten Simons, 11b. 20 After three months’ separation, with the thoughts of school thrust aside for pleasure or for war work for Uncle Sam, it is hard to collect our customary number of school magazines. Only a few exchanges have been received by THE EasTERNER this month.

The first excursion took them to Bluemont, Vir- ginia. The party consisted of six girls and the guar- dian, Miss Merrill, They camped three days at Mr. Hart’s cottage, which he so generously lent them. While there, the girls learned to cook, went nutting, and hiked to Bear’s Den. It would be hard to say what they didn’t do. They came home Monday, the 22nd, marching back to the station from the shack, which was three miles up the mountain side. They had full packs and marched in a style rivaling any group of doughboys. The girls want to thank Mr. Hart for his kindness. Beginning Thursday, October 24th, six of the girls camped for several days at the Tepee. During the four evenings spent there, they learned to set up a tent, studied the stars, and worked on the layette assigned them by the Red Cross. Each moming the girls rose at dawn and prepared a remarkable breakfast. At the weekly meeting of the Camp Fire, November bth, they planned the year’s work. Election of officers was set for the 12th of November. They were not at all modest when they decided how much of Eastern’s Red Cross work they would assume. We extend our hearty greeting to the Misses Cooks from the Camp Fire of Ohio. E. V.

All through my mind was darkness, black as night, And I was being troubled by a fright. Twas nearing midnight, and the light burned low, The others were in bed way long ago.

Pyles have been officially notified of the death of their son, Capt. A. Zane Pyles, on Oc- tober 14, from wounds received at the front. Captain Pyles was educated in the Public Schools of Washington, graduating from Eastern High School at the age of 15. Four years later he was graduated from Harvard with high honors. He was on the editorial staff of both the Crimson and the Lampoon, college papers, to which he contributed many articles. Three years later, he re-entered the university, gradu- ating from the Law School in 1917. This year he was admitted to the Philadelphia bar. He attended both training camps at Plattsburg and was commissioned from the first officers’ training camp at Fort Myer. From there he was ordered to Camp Sevier, South Carolina, where he was promoted to first lieutenant, and was commissioned to form the intelligence department, of which he was made head. He sailed overseas May 11, and one month later, by General Pershing’s order, received his commission as captain in the 118th Infantry. His father, Dr. R. A. Pyles, was major and surgeon in the Spanish-American War, and Ins grandfather, Dr. J. Pemberton Zane, was a surgeon in the Civil War. In a recent letter home, Captain Pyles wrote: “Whatever comes, these soldiers of America must always stand representatives in a far land, of all that has ever been of the noble and the brave and the true. As adjutant, I have come in close contact with the highest of England, Scotland, and Belgium, but none of them are half so inspiring (in my eyes) as these straight-glancing soldiers of our, who greet the Ger- mans’ iron messengers with cheers.”—Evening Star. p 4 WITH THE COLORS Willard S.

She had just laid down the third of the magazines she had purchased at Los Angeles. She had learned how Cubic Poetry could be used in the culinary art, and why the boys in the trenches pre- ferred horse-radish to all other seasonings, and so, having consumed all the knowledge to be found in the magazines, she threw the last in the seat opposite and tried to doze away. Now, I'm sorry I can’t tell you abort Sadie’s beau- tiful golden hair, her deep blue eyes, her bewitching dimple, and her prettily turned ankle. I’m sorry } can’t tell you about all these, but I must stick to fact, and the less said about Sadie’s physiogomy and anat- omy, the better. A baseball had early changed the natural direction of Sadie’s nose, and an ever increas- ing crop of freckles obtained from outdoor life had never ceased to increase, and all persuasions with beauty creams and lotions had failed. A small pair of ugly green eyes were incessantly laughing at every- body and everything. To sum up these facts, Sadie’s appearance had never encouraged romance ; and, as she once said herself, “she didn’t give a kitty,” or words to that effect, which I can’t repeat here. By profession, Sadie was a telegraph operator and had been employed for three months in Los Angeles, but at the appearance of an equally good operator with better looks, Sadie was requested to resign, for tele- graph operators, as typists, are sometimes chosen for ornamental purposes. For this reason, Sadie was beating it home to San Francisco. Tt was then that we found Sadie trying to doze away. But a minute later, she changed her mind, for she became very interested in a fat lady with a red nose, feeding pumpkin pie out of a market basket, which she held on her lap, to seven children. The pie looked very appetizing ; and almost subconsciously she tapped on the train window with an opal ring, in dots and dashes, “I want some pumpkin pie.” Then she heard a tapping on the window in back of hers. She was rather startled, and did not listen to what it was at first, and so the unknown person in back of her tapped it again, “Why don’t you buy some?” Sadie did not know whether to consider it a flirtation or not, never having flirted, though I dare say she would have if it had not been for a misdirected base- ball some thirteen years previous. Her mother had cautioned her not to allow strange men to speak to her on the train when she had left for Los ee a it is with the deepest regret that I aye to acknowle Ige her caution was needless. “But, thought ae “it might be a woman.” Then she thought of turning d and staring at the mysterious person, but ate d tapped back, “Where?” changed her mind, ani i “From the red-nosed lady, tapped the stranger. e d Sadie. “She's none to spare, returned � ee got lovely red hair, but I’m tired of the back of your head.” The stranger changed the subject. “You're getting personal,” tapped Sadie. “What's your name?” “Sadie Perkins.

So Sadie let down her veil and picked up a magazine to hide her face. She wasn't going to let her only flirtation fall through. But, the stranger walked straight by, without stopping. A few moments passed and Sadie also went out to the dining car. She went to an unoccupied table and waited. Then there came the tapping of a fork on a plate, so clear and uncanny it reminded her of the tapping at a spiritualist meeting. “Are you the little red-haired girl?” Sadie, desiring to put him off the track, aid not answer. “Tf you order pumpkin pie, I'll know whether you are or not.” “Well, I’ve ordered it,” answered Sadie, knocking her fork gently against her plate so that the other diners would not notice it. “T'm coming over to your table.” “No, you're not.” “Yes, I am.” “Tf you do, I'll leave.” “All right,” answered the stranger, beaten. After she had been served, she returned to the pa lor ! EASTERN HIGH SCHOO car, and there they continued their conversation, three hours of laborious tapping passed quickly, and in the scuffle that always precedes the arrival of a Sadie passed out without the stranger's fj Sadie was rather glad to see her mother, she had inherited her green eyes, and her whom she had inherited her red h; Lut not his wooden leg, and three d a job. “What's your name? asked the man at the office: “Sadie Perkins,” she answered, : “Well, at last; I've found you.” Now, I'm awfully sorry that I can’t finish this story the way I wanted to, and the way I know you want me to; but, as I said at the start, we must have the naked truth, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is cruel to Say so, but the man, after he had seen her, was glad that he hadn't gone aves to her table, in the dining car. “Found me,” said Sadie, for?” “Why, I was looking for a all.

I’m trying to figure out a trip whereby I can get a ham sandwich once a month.” THE EASTERNER A Sign of Descent “Aw, say, Mother, can't you give me something to do?” pleaded Richard King, (best known as “Pat’’) of his mother, “Run along, Dicky; I’m busy. Haven't you some- thing to read? I’m very sorry it’s too rainy to go out. ‘These Pekin rains do last so long, But I must see to it that Roku Yeu finishes this dress properly.” Pat’s father was an American consular official at Peking. Mrs. King was deeply immersed in the mys- teries of dressmaking for the next official “season,” while her only son, about 12 years old, wandered around, with nothing to do, in the large, pleasant house which was just outside the walls of the “Forbidden City.” Finally, Pat settled in a corner of the dining room with a steel construction set. The house was a very old one, and had been purchased by Mr. King before he had sent to the United States for his wife and son. The floor was only a few inches above the ground, and was made of blue and white tiles, beautifully laid. As Pat sat on the tiles, uncovered by any carpet, he observed a small crack around one blue tile. In all other parts of the room the cementing of the tiles was extraordinarily good, and this crack drew Pat's atten- tion. Following up the crack, he found that it sur- rounded only four or five tiles, a space of about 16 Taking one of his solid steel bars, he began to tap the floor. No; seemingly, there was no hollow beneath the space enclosed by the crack. Yet where Pat listened with his ear close to the floor he did (or fancied he did) detect a slightly “dead” sound. Fetching a flat knife, he attempted to pry loose one of the tiles, but this was more easily thought of than done, and Pat spent a good half hour loosening one tile. Finally, however, he had the five tiles out. Un- derneath the tiles was a layer of fine white sand, and underneath the sand were rocks, and below them were some heavy boards, “Whew!” gasped Pat as, blowing and dirty, he paused before removing the boards. He removed the boards and was startled to find himself looking into a hole, measuring about 14 inches on each side, and 18 inches deep. Inside was a package, wrapped in beautifully em- broidered satin. He lifted the thing out and set it on a small taboret nearby. Then he carefully removed the silk, revealing a tapestry of gold, silver, and pale green threads. Underneath that was a piece of oiled silk, embroidered with many cherry blossoms. All these were crushed and folded around the package, as though to protect it from any knocks and bumps. Then there square inches. est wood paper, finer than the tissue, and covered entirely g. Pat. was familiar with but knew nothing of the was a layer of the fin most delicate American with fine Chinese writin i ds, many spoken Chinese wores, ae Therefore, this sheet, the key of the whole discovery, was absolutely Greek to him. When this was removed, Pat revealed to his eyes the most marvel- ous piece of carving he had ever seen, although he had seen many wonderful pieces when he had gone curio- hunting with his curio-loving parents. Tt was a pagoda, measuring about 4 by 5 inches at the base, and about 10 inches high, carved with lacy and airy fretwork, in the rarest of creamy soapstones, and brilliantly polished. It was some time before he could recover from his admiring wonder of this bit of human handiwork. At last, however, he discovered that the front of the pagoda lifted off as though it were a box, as indeed, it was, Inside the box was a key. The useful part of the key was of a metal common enough, but the handle was a miracle of steel and gold and silver Damascene work. Pat gazed at the key, fascinated. What further wonders might it not reveal? But where did it fit? That was the question for Pat to solve. Looking again down into the hole, he noted that the flooring of the hole was also wood. Raising the planks, he saw below a small lacquered door, with an orna- mental keyhole, set in a plain wood jamb. Fitting the key into the keyhole, he slowly turned it and pulled open the little door. Thus, it disclosed yet another package wrapped in embroidery. He began to care- fully unwrap it and soon he found a small “puzzle box.” This one was of small pieces of rare woods and metals, carefully inlaid. In places there flashed emer- alds and rubies. Knowing the secrets of innumerable “puzzle boxes,” Pat did not anticipate much trouble in opening the box, but it was some time before he found the first sliding panel. It was in the shape of a wooden chest. One side of the base slid to the right, one panel of the slide slid down and revealed a small space containing a drawer. ‘To open the drawer in order to use the key it contained and then to press certain spots and slide other panels to find the keyhole, took much of Pat's time, but soon he had the box open and was gazing on the wonderful ring it held, which lay alone on a pillow of crushed purple velvet. The ring was the shape of a dragon coiled and the mouth contained only one jewel, this being one im- mense ruby which alone made the ring of great value. _ On Pat's finger, it covered fully two-thirds of his finger. Realizing that the paper must say something EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL a5 concerning the ring, Pat closed the hole and, after tell- ing his mother of his discovery, waited impatiently for the return of his father. His father read the writing on the paper of wood, and then translated it to his waiting family. He first explained that he had bought their house from the son of a man, Ku Ichi Ni, who had been of the Imperial party during the last revolution, but who had been forced to flee for his life. ‘The paper was a letter to a man, Chu Wong Tien by name, who had also been an Imperialist. Evidently Tien had previously received instructions from Ni as to how to reach the concealed treasure, and the enclosed letter which Mr. King held was a history of the ring and directions for returning it to the rightful owners. The ring was very old and was one worn solely by the Imperial ruler of the Chinese empire as the sign of his direct ancestral descent from the goddess of the moon. Ni had stolen the ring, fearing that the reyo- lutionists would get it and do harm to the sacred relic. Ni had hidden it, firmly believing that the king would return to his throne eventually, but, in fact, all mem- bers of the royal family were later killed. When forced to flee, Ni had confided his secret to Tien, but for some reason or other the ring had never been removed. Without doubt, Pat’s “find” was his own, for all possible owners were dead Jong ago. Among his mother’s most treasured embroideries are certain very wonderful and old ones; and his father’s box of im- portant papers contains a piece of thin paper covered with minute Chinese characters, while all Pat’s friends admire the wondrous ring which is reached by such a long trail through the mysteries of the “puzzle box.” And every visitor stops to praise the pretty cream- colored Chinese pagoda in the glass cabinet in the King library. 4 Locals Slackers—The girls who bestow sweet smiles on the boys for several sheets of paper.

EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL a7 The Orchestra The Orchestra has begun rehearsals, and Promises to eclipse in its work even the splendid efforts of last year. There are about sixteen members, among them some splendid violinists. Jett is holding up the brass section, but hopes to be reinforced by another trombone, which suffered in traveling from Ohio, but which hopes to be out of the repair shop by the time snow flies, We also have promise in the wood-wind section of a clarinet, provided we can persuade a certain young man that his efforts will be much appreciated in the Wash- ington High School Orchestra as in that of a Kansas City school. We hope to have a close rival of our erst- while clarinetist, Mr. Patrick, with whom we parted at the beginning of the war most regretfully. The following are the members of the Orchestra: Violins, Virginia Ballinger, Mildred Dorset, Alta Grabil, Nettie Van Doren, Arthur Corwin, Lewis Davy, Lester Engel, Robert E. Lee, Herman Rassback, James Stancill ; cornet, Arthur Fisher ; piano, Reginald Newton; saxophone, Miller Searl. On ttt tt tet ten nsngn, Boys’ Glee Club At last the fellows are going to have a chance to occupy a place of importance and dignity on the stage. We have a Glee Club. Laugh if you will, but it is a Glee Club, nevertheless. We are small as yet, but our motto is, “Watch us grow.” We have only one regret, and that is that Buck Walsh and Bill Earnshaw are not in this new organization. The present members of the Glee Club are as follows: First tenors, R. Carter, L. Davie, C. Litchfield, Kauf- man, B. Hardy; second tenors, C. Lanaham, L, Engel, N. Brewer, G. Newman, Burns; first basses, R. J. Newton, A. Dawson; second basses, O. Kanngiesser, W. Rice, F. Thames. With this organization under way, we hope that by Christmas we shall be able to give a few Christmas carols for the school’s approval. Here’s hoping we may have many more candidates and that our new institution will prove as great a success as every other enterprise Eastern has undertaken. wee eeeeee® J. R.
