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. Sophomores, Ju- niors and Seniors, make way for the illustrious class of ’21. race Warsi, a.

Miss Buckman: “What is your fa- ther’s occupation, Alice?” Alice Ashford: “He’s a sailor in the army.” At last, Mr. Pekofsky has found a suitable partner in Miss Eva Freed, with whom he performs his spectacu- lar dance at the noon hour. ; Clara Edith Graves has found since the play that. rouge is becom- ing to her. .

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.
