appointed to plan for reunions in the future and to keep in contact with mem- bers of the class. The treasurer read his report and suggested that in the future, reunions be financed by the payment of a small yearly fee. This suggestion was accepted by the class. Following the business session, there was an entertainment period, during which many new games were played. Finally, stunts were performed by each member of the class, and the afternoon was concluded by the serving of re- freshments. Much of tl1e sueeesss of this gathering was due to the eo-operation of the mothers of the members, who devoted mueh time and thought to the success of the affair.

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.
