Springfield Easthampton Feb. 15 Monson Easthampton Feb. 19 Ludlow Easthampton Feb. 25 Holyoke Easthampton To top such a successful season the team entered and won the Massachu- setts State College Four Team Tournament. In the first game against an old rival, Turners Falls, we won an exciting game in which the defensive work of Capt. Pacocha and the brilliant shooting of Chink Craig was outstanding. The team as a whole clicked splendidly, Working the ball through the opponents defense time and time again. They not only played Well on the offensive but held the strong Turners' team scoreless from the floor for over nineteen minutes. It was not until the last quarter that Turners Falls was able to score and then it was found to be too late. The final score being Easthampton 24, Turners Falls 20. Then came the final game against Adams, a strong team from the Berk- shires. Again our two-one-two defense, which the experts believed would be smashed to bits on such a large floor, came to the front. With Milo and Craig in the front line forever hurrying the opposing guards and Capt. Pacocha, Greensmith, and Soucy intercepting passes and blocking shots, it was a won- derful sight to see. Once more Craig came to the front with his spectacular off- balance shots. It was in this game that Ed. Soucy calmly sunk a long shot from beyond the middle of the floor which brought the whole crowd to its feet in applause. Adams fought bitterly until the last minute but our team was too much for the Berkshire boys. The final score read Easthampton 26, Adams 23, and Easthampton came home the winner of the Four Team Tournament. forty-four

of China. He came to Easthampton, and was a pupil of former Principal and Mrs. A. B. Morrill, in whose home he lived. Later, he entered our high school. The High School Echo takes the greatest plaasure in publishing this letter from so distinguished a personage. Nearly thirty years have passed since I attended Easthampton High School but my memory remains vivid of the many happy hours I passed in its class- rooms. It is almost a generation of time, as men estimate generations, and in terms of High School, where every four years constitute a generation, how many generations have arrived and departed! What changed conditions in the world they have had to meet as they went out to their work in life! The changes in my own country and also in the United Statees have been revolutionary, and so have they been everywhere else in the world. It is pleasant to feel that some of the teachers still abide in the High School through all this time. The teachers are the binding force that keeps the High School generations in a unity and a tradition. When they hand on their instinct of teaching to their younger successors, they hand on something more than their vocation, they transmit the whole sense of school-life that so many suc- cessive classcs of students have lived and realized under their guidance. With all the changes, in the schools, in the world at large, and in modes of living, one great thing remains unchanged--the need to cultivate matters of taste and culture as well as matters of direct livelihood. Sometimes a man or a woman has to endure a great deal of experience out in the world before that is fully appreciated But the longer a man lives and the wider experience of the world he gains, the more fully he knows that is the great necessity of education. I have ayways kept the happiest recollections of my student life in East- hampton and the hospitable acceptance of me and all the kind attention that made me, a young foreigner, away from home for the first time, promptly feel that I was truly part and parcel of the school-life and the town-life. Those early relationship did most of all, though they were added to by equally happy later experiences in America, to create the feeling I cherish of an affinity with the United States only less than all I owe to my own great mother-country. Quo Tai-chi Chinese Legation, London, W. I. lst. April, 1935. CLASS OF 1934 REUNION Thirty-five members of the class of 1935 attended the first class reunion, held at the home of Jacob K.
