The Easterner Alumni A meeting of the Alumni Association of the Eastern High School was held December 29, at the school. The first part of the evening was purely social; next came a business meeting in the as. sembly hall. The report of the executive committee was read; the constitution which the executive committee had pre- pared was also read and adopted. In accordance with a motion made by one of the members, Dr. Small reappointed the members of the former committee— Mr. Church, 1894, president; Mr. Em- brey, 1898, secretary and treasurer, and the other members of the committee as » follows: May Bradshaw, 1899; Eliza- beth Birtwell, 1900, and Marguerite Weller, 1906. After the business meet- ing, supper was served in the drill hall, The remainder of the evening was de- voted to dancing. The committee this year will be able to leave some money in the treasury, owing to the number who responded to the invitation to join the association. It is hoped that next year many more mem- bers of the alumni will have a share in such an enjoyable evening. CLASS OF 1907. Benzler, Mabel L., is studying music under John Porter Lawrence.

30 selected the men, who in their opinion, had earned their E’s. Just here a word of explanation in regard to the athletic council would not go amiss. The coun- cil is composed of ten members, includ- ing the chairman, five being selected from the faculty, and five from the student body. From the faculty Miss Wilkins, Miss Grosvenor, Mr. Wallis, Dr. Span- hoofd, and Mr. Van Vleck have been chosen, and from the student body, Miss Hall, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Hamill from the fourth year, and Miss Walker and Mr. Fred Sanderson from the third year. Dr. Small has the right of veto, and no motion can be passed over his veto. The members serve for one year, and meetings are called by the chairman. This method of school government is an innovation at Eastern, and in order to be successful must be supported by the en- tire school. The men who were selected by the council to wear the school letter were as follows: 1910. Babcock, Harrison, Nottingham. IQII. Defandorf, suy, Donn, Wilson. 1912. Weaver, H. Smit. No captain for next year’s team has been elected, and the election will prob- ably be delayed till June, when the marks go in. It is none too early to begin talking and planning for the coming baseball sea- son, and as Manager Fischer is already arranging an attractive schedule, we should all prepare to play that schedule the best we know how. After a captain is elected in February, indoor practice will commence in the gym, for the bat- teries especially. If any fellow thinks he knows anything about pitching or catching, let him come out and try. As last year’s battery is missing, these posi- tions will be open, besides third base and one of the outfield positions. There are experienced men to fill all other posi- The Easterner tions, but there is plenty of chance for hetter men to displace them. Of last year's team the following men are in school: Parker, catcher and third base; Leland, first base; Ligon, second base; Varela, shortstop; Babcock, Defandorf, and Whitney, outfielders, and Whitney, pitcher. There are several other men who have already announced their inten- tion of trying for the team, namely, Reeder, Payne, Fischer, Harrison, Not- tingham, Royall, Fitzhugh, Murray, Mc- Cafirey, and there will be others to come. ] et us live up to the prospects. The following are the basketball games played up to date. December 15, in a hard-fought game, Eastern lost to the Georgetown Preps in the home gym, by the score of 43 to 13. The game was not so one-sided as the score indicates, many fine plays bringing cheers from the rooters. For the Preps, Trumbell, Loch! and Waldron starred, while for Eastern, Varela played the premier game. The line-up: PREPS. ISASTERN. Wgoch] yuk . Ligon -o.-. Varela .. Whitney Trumbell, Lane. .R. Murphy (Capt.)... pleiskeliie uetrere Gre Fitzhugh Waldon, McGee. .R. G.. McCaffrey Referee—Dodd. Timer—Leland. Goals from field—Trumbell (6), Lane (1), Loehl (5), Murphy (1), Waldron (6), McGee (1), Heiskell (1), Varela (4), Whitney (2). Goals from foul—Varela (1), Murphy (1). Time of halves—15 minutes. December 21—In the Quaker gym the Friends Select School defeated the East- em basketball team by the score of 52 to 23. The game was very fast, but East- ern was hampered by the small size of the hall, with which they were unfamil- iar, and their team work was in conse- quence considerably off. The distingish- ing feature was the goal shooting of Walker, for Friends, while Whitney dis- played the best article of ball for the losers. The line-up was the same as the previous game.

Exchanges Since our last issue went to press we are very glad to acknowledge the re- ceipt of many new exchanges. We wish to ccmmend them all on their good work and hope they will improve with every issue. The football story in the December Bowen Blade is very interesting and well written. The whole paper is well edited. Tke Central High School Review is the best illustrated paper we receive. The Occident should be congratulated on its illustrations; they are exceedingly well drawn. The cover design of The Russ is simple, but very attractive. The following is the story of David and Goliath, as told by Billy Sunday, the American evangelist, to a rapt congrega- tion of 8,000, with appropriate gestures: So David’s pa comes up to where he was working in the field, and says, “Dave, better go up to the house. Your ma’s worried about the other boys fight- ing in the army, and she'd like you to look them up.” So Dave hops on a trolley and hikes to the front, and stays with his brothers over night. In the morning Goliath comes out in front of the Philistines, and dares the Israelites to fight him. “Who's that big stiff out there mak- in’ all the big talk?” asks Dave.
