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 JOLLY JUNIORS.” Did you speak of the ’19 class? 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.
