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.

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?

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 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!
