rCLAs a teenager, Dick attended Eastern High School, just down the street
from the Hoover home, where he led the cadet corps, played quarterback on
the championship football team, and won election as the 1899 senior class president. He went to work for the Coast Survey after graduation, spending
a summer at a field survey in Havre de Grace, Maryland. But he had bigger dreamsrCoinstilled, perhaps, by AnnierCoand soon left his fatherrCOs work behind.
Dick lived at home while attending law school at the Columbian University
(soon to become the George Washington University), a step up from his parentsrCO high school educations. While in school he took a job as stenographer for a senator and then for the districtrCOs chief of police, providing his little brother an early contact with the world of crime and
law enforcement.[16]
Dick later recalled pushing Hoover rCLthousands of milesrCY in a rickety old
baby carriage during these years, a dutiful if reluctant teenager trudging
the streets of Capitol Hill. Undoubtedly, though, their sister Lillian did
much of the workrCoperhaps a source of her later estrangement from and resentment of her younger brother. Lillian graduated from high school in 1901[rCa]rCY
