JURING the four years' sojourn’'of the class of 1905 in Easton High School we have studied many branches of learning. But of all—of English—of Mathematics—of Latin—of Greek—of German—the driest branch was History. Now, do not all think that the study- ing of History, the learning of events in their order, the committing to memory of unin- teresting dates, ought to have been sufficient? But, alas, a new torture was invented, a new source of worry, for in short we were compelled even to make History; not only to study the branch of learning that we so cordially hate but to become participants in it. And to relate this history is my purpose here this afternoon. Naturally, during the four years many exciting and interesting events have taken place. To name them according to their importance is an impossible task, therefore let us begin with that dim and hazy time—our Freshman stage. The class of 1905, numbering about 140, made its first entrance into High School on September 1, 1901. Hardly had we discovered our respective seats when a Sophomore, exalted by the newness of his position, audibly whispered that they were going to give us a reception up the Delaware after school. What was to be done? We knew nowhere to fly; no one to whom to appeal. As each one with trembling knees descended the historic steps he was seized by the relentless Sophomores and placed in a group by the gate. But down the walk came one—Dutch Hammer. Was he to be passively bound and, unstruggling, to be carried away to awful torture? No! Two Sophomores endeavored to grasp his arms and lo! the gutter received them in its ample bosom. Then charg- ing upon the stupefied Sophomores he drove them in confusion and made his escape. When the Sophomores had finally collected their bewildered faculties there were no Freshmen to be seen and from then on 1905 was unmolested. Thus did we begin our days in Easton High School and thus was it shown that the class of 1905 was to be recognized as a leader. During the remainder of the year the class, although young in experience, presented to the teams, one football player, Hammer, and two baseball players. Bauer and Snovcl. 9
