THE EASTERNER Faculty Notes 30 Gone! But he won’t be forgotten! Yes, we are speaking of Mr. Claus J. Schwartz, who has accepted the position of principal at Stuart Junior High School. On Thursday, January 6, a banquet was given in the lunchroom in honor of our beloved The tables were fixed in the form of an “E.” Miss Mary J. Watts, assistant principal, was toastmistress. A program fol- lowed the banquet. All participants were mem- bers of the dignified faculty. And did they cut-up? Just ask some of the boys and girls who helped with the serving. We are certain that Mr. Schwartz will be honored and loved at Stuart Junior High School as we honor and love him here at East- ern. All to your best success, Mr. Schwartz! On Saturday, January 22, the faculty had a bridge party and luncheon at the White Pea- cock. There were seven tables. The prizes were awarded to the Misses Webb and Culbertson. Miss Helen C. Anderson, our pretty little auburn-haired and brown-eyed math teacher, has been seen wearing a beautiful pin—soror- ity pin? No! It’s a frat pin! Mr. James Moreland is the lucky man. Miss Anderson has just recently become engaged to him. Ah! Mr. Shorts, another good chance gone! Mr. Hallie D. Shorts, teacher in charge of the lockers, wants everyone who leaves pencils on top of their lockers to be sure and leave pencils that have erasers on them. Since Mr. Schwartz, Eastern’s famous “Money, money, money man” is leaving, Miss Pauline Lohmann is to be our new treasurer. Miss Lohmann is a very capable money-box keeper and we are sure that she will prove a great success. professor.

He now looks at me absent-mindedly, and asks, “What did you say?” “Eighth Street transfer,” perately. “Which way?” he inquires. I had never stopped to consider it, but I now begin to ponder the matter. “North, or South?” he persists. I had just about straightened it out in my mind when he broke in on my deliberations. I now answer confusedly, “South, I guess; or rather North.” The transfer is duly punched and handed to me, and I take a seat, glad to have a few mo- ments of quiet. C After a seemingly short ride I arrive at Eighth Street, alight from the car, and scan the Eighth Street track. Not a car in sight! As I have had enough experience in waiting for cars for one morning, I conclude I do not care to repeat it, and that I will walk the re- maining distance to my destination. On my arrival at school my ears are greeted with the clamorous sound of a ringing bell. I repeat des-

DAE HAST ARMER on Tl Pr Y le By the time this issue appears, Eastern will be well aware of its loss of the Chairman of the Military Committee for the Mr. Claus J. Schwartz. Lost he will remain always in ¢ cadets who knew him! past twenty years, ? No, not lost, for he hearts of those Although we hate to lose such a capable man, we all join together in wishing him as much success in his new undertaking as he has had in his old. Mr. Schwartz’s place on the Military Com- mittee will be taken by Mr. Hallie D, Shorts Mr. Shorts has been at Eastern but two ate however, he has shown his ability in all the responsible positions to which he has been ap- pointed. He has already tackled his new task with such vim that he is assured of another success. We also lost Lieutenant Colonel Karlton Stein, in February. Lieutenant Colonel Stein was the Commander of the third regiment, that is, the Eastern and Western battalions. He is forced to resign because of graduation. We are certainly sorry to lose such a good officer. The drilling is coming along very nicely, ac- cording to the latest reports. We have already had several inspections and there are several more ahead. Colonel Alpha, of Central, in- spected the Eastern battalion on Monday, Jan- uary 18; Lieutenant Colonel Karlton Stein in- spected it the following drill day, and on Mon- day, January 24, it was inspected by Colonel Deems of the 3rd Corps Area. Soon the competitive inspection for the honor company will begin. The company which wins this is the guard of honor at the awarding of commissions at Central High School. The War Games have progressed. It looks as if Eastern may be very well represented in ‘ iN the finals, ler have so far shown exceptional ability in Captain Brown and Captain But- their work. Some of the games have been quite tragic, for whole companies have been killed by the enemy. It is a good thing these games are not real or Eastern’s battalion would certainly be sorely depleted. The results of the Games are: January %—B lost to A—Company in At- tack. January 14—D lost to C—Advance Guard. January 21—Staff lost to A—Outpost. January 28—A lost to C—Company in At- tack. We have a good start; now all there is left to do is DRILL and MORE DRILL. The Glee Club (Continued from page 28) Several other things are planned during the near future, not the least of which is the dance to be given on February 21. The Science Club The Science Club, one of the newer activi- ties at Eastern, has for its officers this semester: Charles Critchfield, President; Ralph Watt, Vice-President; Robert Shosteck, Secretary; James Dietz, Treasurer; Max Cohen, Librar- ian; Greer Ellis, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Club has had some distinguished speakers from the Smithsonian Institute, and from the Biological Survey, and they hope to have some more during the coming semester. The Club has also taken several interesting trips to the laboratories of the Smithsonian In- stitute. (Continued on page 36)
