McILHANEY s= =s “If, in the paths of the world, Stones may have wounded thy feet, Toil or dejection have tried Thy spirit, of that we saw Nothing : to us thou wast still Cheerful, and helpful, and firm !” MR. ALBERT D. MclLHANEY EASTON HIGH SCHOOL INTRODUCTION E QUESTION whether a more important step and a wiser was ever taken at Easton High, than when the idea of a year book was evolved, and a still greater step when that idea was put into practice and emerged in the annual Rechauffe. From Nineteen Hundred and Two the idea has grown and flourished until a standard has been reached of which our public High School can well be proud. A little history at this point will hardly be inopportune. In Nineteen Hundred and Two, the class of that year or perhaps the Junto Editor rather decided to publish a special issue of the Junto, a sort of Class Day number, which was to be particularly devoted to the interests of the Class of '02. The issue contained cuts representing the various school activities and was altogether commendable. The next Class, ’03, following the same plan also published an enlarged Junto with more cuts and on a still larger scale. This again met with success. It remained, however, for the Class of '04 to attain to the culmination of the idea in an artistic publication under the Editorship of William A. Hauck, bound in cloth, which they called the Red and Black, their name for the first of what came to be a series of year books to be published annually by the succeeding Senior Classes. It was 1904 who saw the limitations of the Class Day Junto issue and the advisability of departing from the beaten path, and produced what five years before might have seemed the impossible. Unnecessary to say the venture met with deserved success and the precedent had been established. A permanent name was judged essential and “ RkchaukkIj” from the French, meaning “rehashed, was adopted. As we said, it was a question whether a more important step was ever taken at Easton High School than when the RkchauffI-: was established. It is the catalog of our High School in every way, and we will proudly show it to all at any time in defence of our alma mater. We have a worthy standard before us in last year’s production and our aim may be, not to out-herod Herod, but like the ancients who placed mottos over the doorways of their schools, to be wisely temperate in all things. One of the greatest joys of life’s afternoon and evening is retrospection. None of us will deny this, and our purpose is surely a worthy one in publishing our year book with the hope that it may in after years gladden the eyes of every member of our class. 5 STAFF OF “THE RECHAUFFE Editors and Managers I.orenz K.

'OU The Senior Class History HE study of history is in many respects an interesting subject. For history can be treated in many differ- ent styles, as it has been defined in many and various ways. One definition is that history is the doings of great men. I think this one is the most suitable for our class, as it pertains to the doings of our bright and brilliant class, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Eight of Easton High School. Our history indeed is very short, as it deals with but four years of our lives. But those four years, spent in Easton High School will never be forgotten, as they formed the brightest aud happiest period of our school lives. On September 4th, 1904, our class first entered within the walls of Easton High School, num- bering 163, the largest class that ever entered High School up to that time. We, being freshmen, acquired that bad habit of “poling’ and made quite a reputation in our first year. We also supported the Athletic Association, and helped the teams by contributing members from our class. In this year we were represented on the football team by Heck and Youells, while Heck, Bauer and Frederick played on the Varsity baseball team. In the second year we came back with our ranks sadly depleted. The first thing we did was to proceed to the election of class officers, and the following were elected: President, Albert Heck; Vice-President, Miss Gies; Secretary, Miss Stotz; and Treasurer, James Innes. Later in the year we presented the school with a beautiful por- 10 trait of the “grand old man of Easton,” Dr. William White Cottingham. This year also saw the first successful scrub football team organized in the school, and “Herb Smith, a son of “Naughty Eight was chosen to lead it. In athletics, we began to be more ambitious, and had five men on the football team, Heck, White, Williams, Youells and Grimison. On the baseball team, Heck, and Youells nobly upheld us, while Smith ran on the track- team. This year we suffered the loss by death of one of the brightest and most popular members of our class, Rich- ard Grimison. This was our first and only loss by death. Resolutions of respect were drawn up and the class wore bands of mourning for thirty days. Before we left school this year we elected officers for the following year. Heck, Innes, and Miss Stotz being reelected, while Miss Jennings took the place of Miss Gies, as Vice-President. Thus ended the first half of our High School career. When we came back to assume our duties as Juniors, our numbers were further reduced. We held our first “Junior Class Meeting” successfully at the home of Miss Ethel Wotiz. The Seniors and lower classmen were out in force to prevent it. but the stalwart sons of “ naughty-eight” soon made them beat a hasty retreat. At this meeting, we selected an artistic design for a class pin, and chose for colors, gold and black. In athletics, we were again well represented, having Smith and Innes on the track team. Captain Smith and Muthart on the basket-ball team, Heck on the base-ball, and Smith, Williams, Bull and Heck on the foot-ball team. On Arbor Day, April 19, we made our first public appearance, and acquitted ourselves very ably. It was then shown that we had talented speakers in abundance, and a brilliant future was predicted for our.class in this liue. The election of officers for the Senior year took place shortly before we left school, and it resulted as follows: President, Albert Heck; Vice-President, Lucy Jen- nings; Secretary. Miss Stotz; and treasurer, Walter D. Rice. We had now passed through the hardest part of our courses, and left school with the joyous expectation of becoming Seniors. When we returned for our Senior year, we numbered but 56, eighteen boys and thirty-eight girls. Our President Mr. Heck .failed to return and Win. Everett Crater was elected to fill the chair. Our class again upheld notably the standard of Easton High School by contribut- ing Smith, Murtaugh and Purdy to the foot-ball team. Smith,Innes and Purdy to the track team,Smith to the base-ball and Smith, Muthart and Innes to basket-ball. Another bazaar was held this year, to help the A. A. and proved a great success. McKinley Day, Peace Day and Flag Day were all celebrated in an interesting way. Our 108th, Day program, on Mar. 6th, was pronounced one of the most successful, if not the most successful, exercises produced by a Senior Class. Truly this year was our banner year, and a banner year for Easton High School in many respects. A Senior Quartette, composed of Messers J. Crater; E. Binker; Connell and Kleber. was organized and proved very enter- taining. The Mandolin Club, under the leadership of “ Herb” Smith, was developed into the best Mandolin Club, that High School ever produced. High School had their fastest foot-ball team this year, a winning basket-ball team, and a successful base-ball team. In track, a gold medal was won at Reading, and a High School record broken. Under the editorship of Burkhardt, a first-class Junto was put out, and easily sustained the reputation acquired in former years. The Rechauffe has grown to what you now see it is, and we have, as a class, advanced the reputation of our Alma Mater in every respect, so that we now feel justified in stepping down and saying a last farewell to ‘‘Dear old Easton; High School.” T.

By instruction we have steadily climbed the ladder of acquisition from Freshmen to Sophomores, then to Juniors. Now our path leads almost sadly, but not less surely or less honorably towards that long looked- for mark—Graduation. After many successfully planned feints, we held our first class-meeting as Juniors in Heptasoph Hall, on November 6th. We enjoyed this event the more because “ nary a Senior was in sight. The class chose blue and geld for C its colors. A neatly designed pin was selected on the same evening. In other important social events of the year, the participants enjoyed themselves equally i as well. On account of vacancies, some voluntary, others compulsory, the class elected Frank Mclnerney, President; Helen Price, Vice-President ; Helen Semple, Secretary ; and Laurence Stone, Treasurer. We would emphatically state that these officers have conducted the affairs of the Class most creditably and honorably. Notwithstanding the fact that our class is the standard bearer, from a scholarly point of view, according to our principal's public announcement, it also carries the colors at the front in athletics. We have four very active men on the football team, by whose assistance E. H. S. has met and defeated teams far above the usual High School standard. Our class football team was the lion of the school, defeating both Seniors and Sophomores. We contributed three emi- nent men to the basketball team, which was the fastest since this game was intro- duced into the High School athletics. On the baseball team we possess four men who will constitute excellent material after having won for ’09 the inter-class pennant last year. Our first public celebration, Arbor Day, held on April 24II1. was a most successful affair. Each entertainer entered into the exercises with a zeal and vigor, which in itself would insure a memorable success. If one can judge by experience, we cannot but feel that we are without remorse for the past, confident in the present, aud full of hope for the future. H.

Early in the year, the class held a meeting, at which the present officers were electet!. These were: President, Mr. Snyder ; Vice President, Miss Sut- ter ; Secretary. Miss Osterstock : and Treasurer, Mr. Fisher. '1 liese officers have successfully carried on all the business of the class, and have been thor- oughly competent in all respects. Dances, held every other week, for a while, were a complete success. The first class-meeting and dance was held on the 13th of March, amuse- ments being provided for those who did not care to dance. At this meeting, the result of the vote for class colors, was announced, the colors favored being maroon and light-blue. As it is the custom to present some gift to the school, in the Sophomore year, we selected as our gift a fine, large picture of Governor Wolf, which now- hangs where all may see and admire it. The class was represented on several of the organizations of the school. On the football team were Ballentine, Dewson, McElroy, and Ziegenhorn, and on the baseball team Dewson represented us. In the Mandolin Club we had Gardner and Schoch. These, in their several positions, did excellent work. Taken all in all, it has been a year that we can look back on with pleas- ure and satisfaction.

Our record of events, though brief, is of some con- sequence. On the second day of September, 1907, 144 Freshmen were admitted to that long anticipated place, E. H. S. We began our high school career with enthusiastic school spirit. Most of us joined the A. A., subscribed for the Junto. and later in the year aided in making a success of the bazaar. We were well represented in athletics by Vreeland, Blackburn and Sangree. Our star athlete, Blackburn, being admitted to the football, basketball and baseball teams, which is considered an honor for a Freshman. A great part of the success of this year’s football season was due to the achievements of these athletes. Our musicians, Harrison, Foran and -Larkin have won fame for us in the Mandolin Club. It is to be feared that this organization would have been of minor importance with- out them. We organized five debating clubs, and by rumors floating around, some of our members have great argumentative powers, and are vigorously discussing the topics of the day. Well, we think by this time, our “ green ” has worn off, and we joyfully antici- pate our coming Sophomore year. We feel fully capable of taking up the duties of our second year. And close with three cheers for dear old E. H. S., and a Rah, Rah, Rah ! for the class of 1911.

Yes, or maybe no. Do we love our school organizations ? Yes. Because they are the pupils, for the pupils, and by the pupils, while our studies are of the pupils, for the pupils, but by the — teachers. But whether we care for one or the other, we do know that mixed with pleasure, our work becomes all the sweeter. There were some, nay, many, who declare that these various school organizations would interfere with the scholarship of the school. But despite objections, a beginning was made, and continued to be made, until now, we have a long list of school organizations. First, there is the “ Mandolin Club,” which is as welcome in the course of a lecture, or in fact any place, as the sun after a shower. We are pleased to think so many under-graduates are members, for that assures us that, after we graduate, the club will continue to prosper. We also have an excellent ” Glee Club,” and altho’ they have not been very much in evidence, they sang successfully at the Bazaar. The Athletic Association has been loyally supported by the boys of the High School. But by seeing some of the best games of the season (and most of them were victorious for us), they have received in enjoyment more than the amount of their yearly .dues. The Athletic Association should have the hearty assistance of every boy and girl in the High School, in every possible way, by cheering and encouraging the players at the games, by promptly pay- ing dues and by helping accordingly to the utmost of their ability to sustain the reputation of this important High School Association. The Alumni Association, under able management has become an important society and its aim to keep in touch with the High School Students in order to assist them in Athletics’ in obtaining scholarships, and in every other way in which they are able. It has shown great interest towards the School and has helped, individually and collectively to make the High School what it is. Without this important society many graduates of the Kaston High School would lose all interest in their Alma Mater and many of their schoolmates, in after years meet them only at the Alumni Assembly. Have these organizations interfered with our studies ? We hope not. But we do know they have given an added enjoyment to our work and have made the memory of our High School dearer to us. SARA FULLER. 26 Junto Out To-day 4 P. M. CROWD of girls were anxiously watching these words printed on the black board. “Isn't it great? asked one enthusiastic subscriber. And as usual it is on time. I do hope there are lots of personals, don’t you? They are so interesting that the first thing I do when I pick up the “Junto” is to look and see if they have said anything about me. “ O, of course said another the personals arc alright and funny sometimes, but I am more interested in the “ Exchanges and “ Alumni notes.” Last month they had the cleverest idea, arranging the exchanges in columns, so they spelled “ Our Exchanges.” And then still discussing the Junto they drifted away. Have you ever stopped to consider the many different ways in which the “ Junto” is received? The Fresh- men, Sophomore, Junior and Senior, has her own peculiar way of regarding the paper. Miss Verdant is enthusiastic about the “Junto” or to be more specific about the “ personals.” That means the whole “ Junto” to her. She never stops to criticise any part of the wonderful paper, but thinks it is all perfectly grand. So also does Miss Wise Sophomore view the paper, tho' in a little different light. She spends more time over the athletics. Every player on the team is a Hercules in her eyes. It makes no difference to her whether she cannot distinguish a game of Base-Ball from Foot-Ball or if she can tell whether her side is winning or losing. She just thinks the players are perfectly splendid and carefully reads the scores. Miss Junior is romantic. The stories hold her attention, and she thinks they are equal to any of the latest 28 novelettes. She lives in a little world of Romance all by herself. She eats and sleeps ‘ in Romance ’ and her chief recreation is reading the “ Junto ” stories. Her highest ambition is writing one herself for the paper. The only one who presumes to criticise the “Junto” in any way is dignified Miss Senior. In a wise tone, she tells how it could be much improved. She tells us our stories, compared with those of Henry Van Dyke or W. D. Howells and others, fall far below the standard. That the personals are silly and not a bit funny. But at the same time, she must take a secret delight in reading about her fellow classmen and smiling over their blunders in the “Personal” column. The Thanksgiving number, which bore the High School Seal made a striking appearance. The clever little cover for Christmas was drawn by an Alumus, which fact assures us that the interest of the alumni in their Alma Mater has not abated. And now, as the class of ’08 passes the “Junto” on to the succeeding class, we hope that its standard will not deteriorate, but progress in this good work. ■' Let it be the aim of every student to do his best tho’ that best be everso little, to sustain the standard of our school paper. And now, let us join hands and drink to the prosperity and long life of the “Junto” and may it ever continue to be the representative of the Easton High School.

The club this year was by far the best that ever represented High School in the musical line. Eoa Res9 and their music was well received on all occasions. The music this year excelled that of other years, and ‘a greater number of pieces were mastered. A popular medley, in which “ Harrigan ” starred, always called forth an encore, and the boys were never shy in responding. Last year the club lost through graduation, Beadell, McElrov. Rosenberry, and Goldsmith, while neither Billger nor Laub appeared iu the club this year. The Freshman class, however, brought in three star players iu Larkin, Harrison and Koran, while Gardner. ’10 also entered this year. Under the leadership of ‘‘Herb” Smith, the best all-round musician High School ever produced, who officiated alternately at the piano and guitar, the club was moulded into the best Mandolin Club that ever represented Easton High School. Starting on a firm financial basis, this question was no cause of worry this year, and, with an additional grant of fifteen dollars from the “ Bazaar.” the club is now in a flourishing condition. Besides filling many outside “dates.” The Mandolin Club also played on all school occasions.—loSth Day. Bazaar. Historical Essay Contest. Arbor Day, and on Class Day. This year, the club loses three members. Smith, Connell and Graham, through graduation. We now give over to the following classes the management of the Mandolin club and let us hope that under their administration, it may reach that degree of excellence, and sustain the high reputation gained by the club of 1907-1908.

By dint of much labor, the room was converted into a tastefully decorated emporium, where candy, cakes, and other danties were sold to the guileless alumni and “ undergrade'' Fancy-work and post-cards galore were temptingly arrayed to loosen the purse strings of the unsuspecting. Letters sweet and loving were on hand for all the students who wished to hear from their unknown lovers. But these are only minor details. The real features were the side shows. “Hades” or the “Land of the Departed Souls ” gave the eyes a rest from the glitter and rush of the principal thoroughfare. The Art Exhibit showed all that was new and interesting in the imaginations of our talented members. And now for the real feature—Damasco. Easton has been visited by several exponents of mental telepathy who met with more or less success, therefore, it behooved our spiritualist to have a clear record and answer all questions without a mistake. This he did and we have yet to hear of a disgruntled patron. An added feature this year was a free and continuous vaudeville performance. Because of the financial stringency the executive committee thought it best to give the patrons a little more for their money than they would ordinarily receive. To give a vaudeville performance appeared the simplest and yet the most advantageous manner to do this, so a number of graduates and undergrads who had previously made their appearance on the local stage were booked. The Mandolin Club, the Senior Quartette and Harrison’s Orchestra furnished the greater part of the music. Piano solos were also rendered by Gordon Nevin. ’ 10 and Helen Bethman, ’o8. The leading event consisted of two parts the first an acrobatic performance by two undergrads, in which was displayed great feats of daring ; the second part was presented by two graduates.

Young blood was infused into the official personnel of the association, but a guarantee of conserva- tism remained by the election of Mr. A. D. Mcllhaney as secretary and treasurer. The new ad- ministration, in a laudable attempt to keep the association alive and moving through the year, planned a midwinter dance, and when this plan failed, renewed the endeavor and held a very pleas- ant “ spring assembly ” on May 19 in the Armory. The only step towards influencing the student work of the school was taken at the annual business meeting on Thursday, May 21. By an amendment to the by- laws the president was directed to appoint an advisory committee for the following departments of the school : His- tory, Classics, English, Science, and Commercial. These committees will assist the head of the department in arrang- ing and conducting a public meeting each year in the interest of the department. The first of the year’s events was the annual business meeting mentioned in the foregoing. The chronicle continues with the annual reception to the graduating class held in the new Armory on Friday, June 28. The Armory having just been completed, the Alumni had, we may say, the honor of opening it as a social center, and it proved a very satisfactory place in size and arrangement. By a rule passed at the annual business meet- ing in May, 1907, each alumnus or alumna was allowed to bring one outsider not an undergraduate to the reception. Comparatively few took advantage of this permisson, but the rule was felt to be a courtesy to the members of the association and likely to prevent embarrassment. The “ spring assembly ” was a very pleasant affair and its success places the association under obligation to Daniel Snyder, ’03, as well as the president, Mr. McAfee. At the annual business meeting on May 21. 1908, the treasurer reported that all bills had been paid and a balance remained in the treasury. At this meeting the largest attendance from any class was from 1903, who also held a class meeting after the business meeting of the alumni and arranged for their fifth reunion. The class officers 39 are Daniel Snyder, president; Mary C. Wheeler, vice president; Marion Hart, secretary, and Frank Simpson, treas urer. Miss Florence Kutz was elected resident secretary. The most important decisions made at the alumni meeting were to invite the graduating class to attend the annual reception without paying their first year’s dues, to again admit non-graduates to this reception under certain restrictions, to demand recognition of the alumni by the athletic association of the school, and to secure advisory com- mittees of alumni and other citizens to aid the teachers of the several departments. On the question of school athletics the alumni were especially earnest. They feel that the undergraduates are losing valuable assistance and doing the alumni athletic committee gross injustice by refusing them recognition. The following officers were elected : President, Floyd 15. McAlee, ’02 ; First Vice President, Russell Boad- wee, ’98; Second Vice President, George Sitgreaves. '06; Secretary and Treasurer, A. I). Mcllhaney. Mr. McAlee and Mr. Mcllhaney enter on their second term as officers. .jo Officers and Committees of Alumni Association = co = Officers PRESIDENT First Vice President .

There has always been something wanting, a lacking, a deficiency, somewhere. This feature g] PSI j|j has evidenced itself in the past, but it was during the regime of the Class of 1908 that the efforts to con- duct the business of the A. A. on a sound basis materialized. Whether these changes are for good or evil, that can better be judged in the future. It is to the class of 1902 that the Athletic Association owes its existence. Each succeeding class has added experience to that of the former and the result has been system out of chaos. Now the Easton High School is recognized, in this section, as a power in athletics, and is also noted for clean sportsmanship, which an athletic associ- ation, alone, can foster. Without the power of the A. A., athletic teams could not possibly exist, or only under the most adverse conditions. The E. H. S. A. A. has, in the past, placed some remarkable teams in the field, which have always elicited the greatest of praise. Of late we have not been so successful, although the football team of 1907, with a record of six victories and two defeats, was all that might be desired. With a percentage of twelve victories and three defeats, the basketball team established a prestige, which it will be no easy matter to maintain. During the last several years there has been a crying decrease in membership which the present officers were unable to remedy. Lack of interest, lack of school spirit seems to be the main cause for this deficiency : and it is the sincere hope of the graduating officers that each successive class will do a little toward the establishment of the old enthusiasm aud a reincarnation of the Old Easton High School spirit.

SCHOOL may well be proud of the team that successfully guarded their banner during the season of 1907. Considering the material, a marvelous team was drilled into shape. Only two of last year’s foot- ball men remained in school this year, Captain H. Smith and Malm; but when a call for candidates was sounded a number of men came out for the team, the most promising of whom were Schilling. Mclner- ney, Murtaugh, Purdy, Scott, McElroy, Dowson, Ballentine, Ziegenhorn, Vreeland, Blackburn and Sangree, all of whom finally received the much coveted E. Of the new material everybody, it seemed, showed up particularly well and although the team of ’07 did not reach that degree of excellence which has been at- tained by some of its predecessors, it certainly leaves behind a record that most High Schools look to with envy. Through a series of nine games but two defeats were recorded against us, one at the hands of the Washington A. C., which was received before the team was well organized, and the other at the hands of Allentown Prep., who had an exceptionally strong team this year. Phillipsburg High was twice defeated, 21 points being scored against them in the two games. This in itself was quite a feat, for P-burg had the best team in their history. Such teams as Mora- vian Parochial, Lerch’s Prep, and Bethlehem High were easily outclassed. The crack Slatington High School team was defeated 11-0 without any difficulty. We played Reading High, our greatest football rival, to a standstill in a 0-0 game. Twice was High School on Reading’s two-yard line and could not score. Reading suffered a like fate. It is due to the earnest and persistent efforts of Captain H. Smith and Coaches E. Smith, last year's captain, and Meeker that such a team was formed. E. Smith is the coach to whom most of the laurels belong, for it was he who in the first place got the team in perfect running order and who followed it conscientiously through the entire season, while Meeker coached it for the important games. Almost all the student body predicted a losing team at the outset of the season, but it was demonstrated to the entire body of undergraduates and to their complete satisfaction that with some raw and untried material Easton High can turn out a winning team. 52 Football OFFICER Captain......................

When we stop to consider that seventy-five per cent of the games played were with intercollegiate teams much higher in athletics than the High School, it only adds to the glory of such a record, 3 defeats in 15 games played, a remarkable showing when we consider that the opponents were such as Moravian College, Moravian Parochial, Acmon 2nd, and Reading High. The call for candidates by Capt. Mclnerney resulted in the appearance of Muthart, Smith, Stone, Blackburn, Innes, Malm, Dewson, Stauffer, Lcsher, R. Stone and others. The forwards and guards were taken care of by the veterans and then began the fight for centre between Innes and Blackburn, Blackburn made good, altlio Innes put up a good game. Under the leadership of Capt. Mclnerney the boys put High’s standard in a higher class of scholastic athletics. Muthart and Smith turned out to be the best forwards that ever donned High School togs, and playing together proved to be a remarkably fast pair and accurate shots. Then with Stone holding one guard and Capt. Mclnerney the other, the team proved to be excellent in every department, floor work, shooting, passing and guarding. The team loses Muthart and Smith by graduation and altlio serious, the loss will beyond all doubt be ably filled next year. All men on the team captured the coveted E this year. Here’s to a brilliant and successful season next year under the leadership of Capt. Stone.

Mclnerney 4- 63 Baseball Season of 1908 is impossible at present to give a true and accurate account of the baseball season. The team started out very poorly being defeated at Hackettstown 17-1. but after this such steady progress was made for the better that it was by the merest chance such teams as Reading High School and Blair Hall scored on us. Rain and wet grounds interfered greatly with playing the scheduled games, Slatington High School, Bethlehem Prep., East Bangor and Moravian College being cancelled on this account. Having lost seven of last years team including the battery, it was necessary to build up a new team, so the fail- ure to deliver the goods, at the beginning of the season can be overlooked to a great extent. The freshman bat- tery, Blackburn and Sandt, look good for four years and if they improve as they have this season Easton High will be well nigh invincible. Blackburn pitched classy ball all season allowing Blair Hall only one hit and defeating Moravian Parochial School 13-1. The out-field was well guarded by Schilling, Dewson, Smith and Krautz, all four of whom are brilliant fielders and hard hitters, stinging the ball often and for extra bases. The in-field with Mclu- erney, Richards, Stone, Terrill, and Mahn, proved a bulwark past which it was difficult to hit a ball. Laurence Stone, beside doing some sensational work around third base and fine hitting, pitched several masterly games, particularly one against Phillipsburg High School. Although Easton High School was not especially successful out of town, locally we made quite a hit in the Interscholastic League, where we only lost but one game and that on a forfeit. At present it is unknown who will get the trophy, but doubtless Easton High will capture it as they have all others in former years. C. A.

Finance was the troublesome question which bothered the Track, and not many meets were arranged. Manager Connell had offers to enter meets at Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Ithaca, New York, Trenton and Reading. All these were rejected, with the exception of Reading, on account of the financial stringency existing in the K. H. S. A. A. When the call for candidates was sounded quite a few men responded. The following of whom were the most promising : Innes, captain; Purdy, Smith, Mclnerney, Ballentine, Schoch and Malm. By steady practice the team slowly developed into something like good shape, and when they embarked for Reading the fellows—comprising Innes, Purdy, Smith, Mclnerney, Ballentine and Shoch—while not in the best of trim, really “ looked good ” to our supporters. Innes fulfilled expectations by taking a gold medal for being first in the pole vault, he having equaled the record of Reading meets and broken High School’s record by three inches. At the Reading meet nine first class High Schools were entered, and Easton High came in fifth on the list. As the team loses Innes. Smith and Purdy thru graduation, there will be a large gap to be filled. Especially in our “ weights ’ ’ department. Innes doing practically everything in that line for two years, but then -who can tell ? Anyhow— here’s success to next year’s track team ! Manager. 72 Track Team F r ft Captain...

In addition to these heart breaking graces they say she is alto a wonderful typewriter, book- keeper and singer, and who will dispute the fact that she leads (?) them all in room C. But sad (?) to relate our most adored friend has taken to raising infants. This, her one defect, is one not to be passed over lightly. She loves sports, especially fishing, when accompanied by a learning Fisher. We know nothing of her future—she is beyond all criticism (?), for proof ask any of the faculty ! Hazel is adorable but she must stop trying to edu- cate rattle brained Sophomores! Margaret R. Armstrong This is the [niet lassie of our class, who doesn't talk much but just goesaheadand docs things. And in the end. that's always the kind thnt get there. Margaret sits in school as demurely as any good little girl, but no one knows what plots and pranks arc being revolved in her mind. To look at her one would say She is working over tomorrow's lesson for she is always a page or so ahead of the rest of us. But when school is over she can be so entertain- ing and have so much fun that we arc inclined to think she i not always as industrious as she looks. She is a bosom companion of Sara's and they arc seldom seen apart. Helen Bcthman If one thinks of a giggler immediately Helen's jolly face come's before one's eyes. She docs noth- ing but talk and giggle all day long. But with all this. Helen, alias Johnnie is a bright girl, «spec- ially in math. She solves all her own problems, no mnttcr how hard they are. Helen is also a piano player, and plays for us to march, «very week she has a new beau added to her list, at least she tells us so. She likes to jolly the Freshmen boys and does not hesitate to pass away thc.timc in this agree- able manner, much to the delight (?) of all the teachers. The latest reports are that one of our Senior boys has fallen a victim to Helen's jollity. 77 Nina Adcll Carter Nina is the dearest littlcst girl in onr class. Everybody loves her. Site is also one of the pretty girls of our class and her disposition is at) sweet as her face. She i always ready to join you in a good laugh or any bit of fun that tuny be going on. Jlcr favorite (?) study is Mathematics, in which par- ticular branch she is a great (?) polcr. Nina is going to study music next year and we soon expect to hear of her wonderful achievements in that line. She is also very popular with the opposite sex. The first part of this year she was often seen with a very tall dignified young gentleman, but lately it is with one whois almost her own height. Sotliatig the long and short of Nina’s story. Marjorie Mae Buckley The Jollier—Marjorie Mac Buckley—nothing sat- isfies her but to jolly—jolly everyone everywhere. She jollys (a ics) everyone even a certain Junior— there she is kind of serious—also a Freshman boy has fallen in the lime light now. Take great care Mar- jorie—take care—and please don't be too serious. What will she do from now on ? No one knows, but somebody cares ( ). Josephine Teresita Condian Behold our poetess ! She may be studying a� hard a possible, but if any one asks her for a poem, with- out waiting for an inspiration she takes up her pen- cil and writes just what you want on the spur of the moment. She certainly has in her the making of a poet and we arc all proud of her. She is also noted for her great wit. She is always making witty re- marks, She is a good student and popular with all the teachers except the Professor in Mathematics. Many a time was she dismissed from his room sim- ply because she was amusing her companions. But whatever Jo was in school we arc all awaiting ex- pectantly to hear of the fame that will grecl her when she enters her proper sphere, the poetic world. 78 Margaret Everett Crater Margaret is another of onr tittle girl� , she is dainty and graceful and her light airy movements arc a joy to the eye. She is an excellent elocution ist. Margaret also tells us the most delightful stories, but. sad to relate, sve fearsome of them arc slightly exaggerated. Everywhere she goes she wins the heart of all whom She meets. We have heard from her own lips the story of the many conquest� She has made nway from home, and we are willing to vouch for those in our own town, She is certainly a popular girl. In school Margaret is known as a great bluffer. Mow she does it.no one can tell, but she certainly bluffs successfully. Site boasts of never studying at home aud yet tlic teachers consider her an excellent scholar. It is a secret each one must learn for him- self ami Margaret has it down pat. Elizabeth Yeomans Evans There isn't much to be said about Betty alone. Now if it were Billy and Betty, there could be whole volumes written for they are always together and it is hard to find anything to say about one without bringing the other in. There are two sides in Betty's life. In school she is of course a diligent Student, but outside of school she is a society girl. As to her school life, although none of us can tell how it is. she has a pull with everyone of the teach, ers. She doesn’t seem to work them, but they are all a little nicer to her than to many of the others. Maybe it it her appearance. She is little and sweet, aud as you can sec by the picture, she has beautiful eyes, l-'e'.ty it always good-natured and is hardly ever without her perpetual smile. She is full of fun and an all around good girl. Sara Fuller Gaze on the picture of this young Indy for she is worthy of your notice. Beside her good looks, she possesses great literary talent and the saying Still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all she knew is proved true in her case. In oratory too, she attracts attention. Her Arbor Day Poem was written aud delivered worthily. Also—but wliat need to mention further talents which arc well known to licr classmates. And yet a report is spread that her young aud tender affections have been trifled with already. Sara we did not expect this of you. The hope that you were wedded to four profession is dispelled now. If he had been rom any place but Jersey it might have been over- looked but we hope that this failing will be corrected in the near future. S 79 Emini Coburn Gould No one in our class will ever forget Emma. She has been too hard on our nerves. At times when we have all been hard at work in the main room we have suddenly been terrified and have thought that surely a whirlwind was about to come upon us. Gaining courage to look around, we turned and be- hold ! it was only Ktnma flyingupthe aisle for some- thing or other. She is always in a hurry. It is one of the nine days wonders that she could sit still long enough to have her picture taken for the Rkcii Atrrrk. Ktnma has lots of good points. She sharpens pencils better than anybody else in school and she is as generous as the day is long. She is always willing to do anything she can for everybody. Helen Mae Gould This dignified young lady is one of the hardest knoekers we have. She is always knocking some- body. After you have talked to her but a few min- utes you find out that she is alwa s willing to talk about people. So if you don't want to be talked about you better keep on the right side of Helen. When she isn’t knocking somebody, she is talking about herself. No one can keep her quiet. All the cuts in conduct she ever had were because of her talking. Helen also likes to feel important. At the time of the bazaar she was chairman of one of the committees. And all those that were under lier felt her importance or rather felt that she felt it. On the other hand Helen Is jolly and always ready to laugh and enjoy a good joke. Sadie Elizabeth Hillyer You can tell by looking at her picture that Sadie is one of the biggest gigglers in the claw. In Ger- man, she makes the lines of the girls miserable by her “cheap humor and school-girl jokes. Her recitations in that class are especially brilliant (?). But everybody likes her and she is one of the joltiest girls to be found. Poor Sadie ! One constant fear haunts her, she is afraid she looks abnormally fat. Whenever she passes anyone weighing two hun- dred pounds or more.shc invnrinbly asks “Do I look as fat as that ? Sadie doesn't attend our social func- t(ons,but she is very much in evidence at the Lehigh affairs. She also goes to the Orpheum a good many times with Stan.” So Alice Statts Ho:n No one knows much about Alice so consequently it is a hard task to roast her. She does not care for boy , dance or any other frivolous amusement . Neither i she overfond of study. She hardly says a word during the whole day. and is nbout the only girl in Row 1( who has not been called down for talking to the Freshmen. Even during our Fresh- men year, Alice was never guilty of doing anything wrong. She is. never wrong, in fact. No matter in what class she is or how she says a thing, it is al- ways right. At least Alice thinks so. It is said that one of the Freshman boys tried to talk to hcrat the beginning of the year, but his attempt was met with such acold stare that he never repeated the perfor- mance. Frances Potter Howland Frances dropped into our class during our Sophomore year. She came to u from the wild and woolly plain of Indianapolis. Notwithstanding that fact She is a very quiet girl, always studying, (when she is not talking) and very fond of Bells' wedding bells and all kinds of bell . Her one hobby is learning her English lessons. She likes to dance and attends all the assemblies also all our High School dance She Ua very little (?) girl only about six feet tall. She and Helen Stotz make quite an odd assorted pair, as Helen is’nt tall. But they don't seem to mind because they can ! e seen at anytime hustlingaround town, that is anytime after school. And Frances is always in a hurry. One never sees her taking her time to anything. Lucy Bvolyn Jcanings I.ucy is a slip of a girl whom evcrylio ly like . She has the glad hand for all whom she meets and we are always glad to have her with us. I.ucy is a com- bination of the society girl and the student. She at. tends all the social affnirs of the school and many outside the school.and when Slip is home she is to be sccnat altthc dances. On theotherhaudshe is a good Student and a bard thinker. Her mind is broad and she always lias her own opinion on every question, especially in the English teacher's room, where she always has strong convictions on every question that is discussed. She is as popular with the opposite sex as with her own. This statement is easily proved by the fact that she won the heart of the sternest, most bashful and hardest hearted fellow in the Senior Class. Si MatlldA Amanda Jones Who would ever think “ Tillie would talk ton boy. mid a Freshman at that! But looks are deceiv- ing as Tillie is always talking, if not to herself to anyone who will listen. She is quite an orator, but we can't blame her for that. She just loves English and can be seen poling over at the library almost every morning. The essays she hands in are all models of eloquence and big words. She always works out her essays and as this is a rare occurrence with any of the other mcmbcrsol the class. 'Tillie has quite a drag.” Math U another of her hobbies. She delights in doing all sorts of problems. There is a rumor that Tillie is going to be a schoolteacher. Poor pupils ! But we wish her luck anyway. Grace Dorothy Kidney Now. don't you think Grace would make a dandy school inarm She doe� , and is working hard to pass all the exams. She wears an Riston Academy class pin and had ns all guessing as to the owner. The mystery was solved by Damasco who told that it belonged to a young lady friend. She is a commercial and one of the brightest girls in the class. Such a drag as Grace hns! If she would only tell the rest of us how to get one we'd all be thankful, but she kcepsthc secret to herself and no one I the wiser as to how she got it. Some say it's her charming ways, while others claim it's her big blue eye� , anyway she lia« the drag. Ethel Margaret Kline Ethel i one of the greatc� t coquettes we have. We have never been able to tell the number of con- quests she lias made this year among the Fresh, men boys. She is a great favorite with them, and many are the times she ha been reproved for talk- ing to those dear little Freshmen . We are forever hearing about the boys and the hearts she has cnplure.l. Ethel's greatest ambition is to keep house for her father. We rather fear for him for wedoubt if she will find time to keep house while she is in the heart breaking business. But she has more virtues than faults. She is an all around good friend and ns jolly and full of fun as the day is long. 82 Lila Kline Here isour sweet, attractive, little girl. No matter where you meet her—there is always a radiant smile forthcoming. She is charming at our dances—so much so that all the boys want to dance with her. She always has her hcatt (Hart) with her and al- ways seems to take good care of it. This picture is true to life—a smiling face and a smiling disposition is I.ila’s make-up. She works hard in Room H, talks all the time in room C. giggles in room J, and has a line time everywhere else. The faculty arc very easy with her but then----who wouldn’t be? Phila Magee ” Phi is one of the pillars of the class, both In scholarship and looks. To sec her go pacing up Noithampton Street with her slow and measured tread one would know immediately that she was a Senior. Her pictuie furthers this statement. To look at her one would think she were a Boston Iceberg, but Startling tales of very undignified behavior have floated down to us from Saylor’s lake. Also, when In her own particular crowd, she does nothing but giggle. She is going to be a college graduate but not a blue stocking and In a few years, we will hear that one of the fellows from camp lias carried her off. Mary Emily Malnikcy Maine is one of our quiet girls. She never speaks unless she is spoken to, and then—well try it sometime and see for yourself. Maine used to be terribly afraid of the fellows, and for that reason Grace used to act as chaperon, but since one of our fellows clianged his seat, she seems to have lost her fear of mankind and talks as long as he will listen. She is a commercial and always gets good grades. Whether it’s because She keeps still and looks wise, or because she really knows a lot. wc are in no posi- tion to say. but “Maine makes frequent “rushes in English and she always has her essays done. Hazel Anu McPherson Can you look on this picture without becoming infatuated, enamored and entrapped by her beauti- ful eye� ? It i� said that more men have fallen at the feet of this dear one than at any other in the class. Hazel is also a great bluffer. When she know her lesson everyone hears of it and when she don’t she makes believe she does. She’s nice and quiet some- times Vat at other� there is no end of noise when she is around. The teacher appear to like her very much and she is a general favorite among her class- mates. Someone knows her better than we do. who is it? we dont know, we can't guess (vj can we ? Mary Miller Here l our little lady. She is just as cute and cun- ning as can be and always is joking and doing un- expected stunts. She usually keeps a record—a nice record of silent recitations in Civics but once in a while bring joy to her instructors with a brilliant recitation. It is said she is going to try to be a teacher -well, she will make a good one—especially if she teaches anything like she jokes aud cuts-up. Please do not get the idea that Mary don’t study—she does—but how much—no one knows. It is an estab- lished fact that in room F she makes an honor (?; grade everyday. I.et us wish her success in teach- ing. Jennie Matteson Here is another of our intellectual support . She has a small l ody but a very large intellect. She is very brilliant and never fails to recite fluently every- day. She never gets reprimanded, except in room C occasionally, but whether that is due to her good reputation or to the fact that the teachers can’t sec her. we wouldn't dare to intimate. Rvcr since she entered with the class she has had two or three of our boys dangling about her, but this latest with the Senior in A-3 proved fatal. Jennie talks so rarely about liersell and her aspirations that we cannot predict her future. 84 Ethel May Kockafcllow Here we have the embodied coquette. I would say flirt. but that Mem� too harsh. Her conquest� are never ending. It is no strange thing to hear Ethel saying to a group of attentive listener . Oh ! yes ! I’ve been going with him for fully a week now. Hadn’t you heard? He comes up every night. When some one not familiar with her ways says something about another male attendant. Ethel will answer My, no! That was broken off ages ago. Then all the girls sigh and murmur sorrowfully about the abandoned one. It’s mighty nice to l e popular, tho. But just look at this picture of her. Here she is in an entirely different mood and you’d never think this pensive looking girl could be a coquette. Honestly, would you? Elizabeth Barbara Rausehwcndcl Talk ! That'S all I.izzie does. From the time she comesto school until she goes home she talks and talks. But with all her talking she is a good student and ranks near Grace and Eeali in her commercial work. When her best friend first left school she was like a fish out of water, but she has grown usedtoit by this time and is quite able to take care of herself now. -She can't get along with- out something to cat consequently site brings all sorts of eatables to school. She is quite an authority on all millinery question and settles all doubts the girls moy have about the style of their new hats. Mildred Sithgow Stocker The above picture is a good type of the ingenue so often read about. Mildred is so artless and enthusiastic about everything. She will rave over the becomingncs of a friend’s dress mid her latest male acquisition in the same breath. Herdclighl at the prospect of a dance and her grief at a visit to the dentist's arc feelingly expressed. If site once turns her big blue eyes on you. oh masculine reader, your fate is seated and you will be held a willing captive as long as she wishes—and longer but oh! if you ever arc treated to some of her puns!! At first amaze- ment at tier ready wit (?) possesses you, thengroant issue forth at the rapidity of her jesting ! At least cultivate her acquaintance and I can assure you that it wilt be worth your while. 85 Helen Felcnzcr Stotz Thisisoueof the l est all-round jolly girls in our class. She isn’t a particularly brilliant pupil but She is liked by teachers and pupils, nlike. When- ever Helen's diminutive form appears, there is sure to be laughter and fun, for she has an inexhausti- ble fund of good humor. She attends our social functions, escorted always by—Bobby. Her whole world Is bounded by—Bobby. This doctor has been the most conspicuous male figure in the last two years of Helen's past, and undoubtedly he will continue to be in the future. She is destined to be one of the first brides of 1908. Marion Margaret Thomas Here's another girl that no one knows much about. She goes directly home from school so no one sees her then, and during study periods she reads all the latest books, and woe be to the one who interrupts her. That is the reason she gets such good conduct grades. She can pass an opinion on all of MeCutcheon's books. She never attends any of our dances, and tho' she claims she is not afraid of the fellows, she never has much to do with them. Marion is also a shark at Math. No one can tell what her future will be, because we don't know, and can't even guess. Tbeodocia Walton Thco is our greatest giggler. If you look at her she Higgle - You can tell this by looking at her picture. In the Creek recitation she is always getting other people in trouble by her everlasting giggling. She is a great tease but everybody likes her and they all like to be with her for where Theo is. there is sure to be lots of fun. All the boys especially like her. She is quite a belle at all the dances. Besides her fun loving nature Theo is quite a shark. She surprised us all by her great Ability in mathematics, and in all her lessons her standard is very high. One sad thing about Theo is that she is quite a flirt. She has the most be- witching smile and she does know so many people who arc delightful to smile at. 86 Helen Marie White And all she talks about is collegeand her numer- ous •'crushes. For the past two years. Helen ha tieen living in a state of constant importance and hilarity over the feel that she is going to college. But even that hasn't obliterated her affection for the boys. She sport more college and prep school pins than any other K. II. S. girl and every week he gets n new crush. Hut nevertheless Helen is a jolly good girl and is especially brilliant in Kooin H. She openly gloats over the fact that She does all or her algebra problem herself. Laura Hildebrand White L o you sec this pretty, little girl ? Very demure looking. Isn't she? But look closer, and especially into her eye . Now don't you sec a merry little twinkle ? Which is caused by Laura's pun . All of us have heard those funny (?) pun Laura gets olT. The funniest thing is thnt with all her winsome look and ways, she never condescends to any in- tercourse with the goat . And like a little white sheep never lift her eyes to those very forbidding •things? Zt is of course needless to tell, that Phila and Laura arc sworn friends. Strange as it may seem, if Laura but persevere in her own way, we predict that before the first class reunion she will be famous! She is already famous for her giggling! Reita Weaver What can we say about Reita ? Or rather, what can't we say! Look at her picture and worship. Her eyes arc really the most expressive ones we know of. A her mood varies, they look haughty, pleading, tensing, indifferent and mirthful. No one sees her in the same humor twice that is certain. Unlike so many classmates she never has more than one desperate case going at a time. But they are dangerous while they arc on hand, let me tell you. Don't I know.? To see Reita going toward the school building is a good a warning as the bell, for you know thnt it groweth late. Such wild exer- tion she has to undergo in order to escape that hour after school, arc painful to hear about. She never talk , so we only know about them from her gestures. 87 Florence Mable Wilhelm Florence is one of our South Side girls. She de- light in making all the fellows go to church with her. She never know whom to take to our dances, but generally gets there, so we think her indecision is only a “bluff' so we won t know the true state of affairs. There arc rumors about a certain west ward fellow making frequent trip over South Side, but rumors sometimes, are wrong. Florence is popular with every one tho'. even if she is quiet. She sits in back of Mae, and her greatest fear isthat she willget credit for all of Mae- ••.stunts.'' She also delights in planting flowers, but she forget where she planted certain ones and has to pull them up to see whether or not they are weeds. It s hard to tell what Florence will do when she graduate . Mae Laubach Wilhelm Behold the smiling countenance of Mae I.aubach Wilhelm. A jollier girl or one with a better dispo- sition could not be found if you searched the world over. She is much admired by both sexes and has friends wherever she goes. But talk ! ! ! She Cer- tainly can talk a streak. And one of the most familiar things to be heard in the main room is n stern voice saying Miss Wilhelm, talking again ?'• I don't believe a day ever passe without it- She seems to favor the attention of an ex-member of our class and, as he is working diligently at a good position, things begin to look suspicious. But there’ no telling for I wouldn't he a bit surprised to hear that Mae was a little bit fickle. Still that's a slight fault to find with anyone and it appears to be the only one Mae has. Pearl Btta Wilson Willie is awfully fond of “Peanuts and talking She talks almost as much as her side partner John- nie' Bethman. They arc inseparable after school, before school and in school. Sad to relate Willie has learned to giggle. She used to be very quiet, in our Freshman and Sophomore year . Hardly ever made a noise, but “Johnnie soon taught her how to talk and how to annoy the teachers. When asked a question in a class room, she looks at the teacher reproachfully and say I dont know. She de- lights in doing problems and advertising. No doubt. Pearl will be the first one in our class to gel married, that is if Paul is'nt too slow. SS Leah Gteubcr Wolfcach Quid is no name for I.cah. She never makes a noise. She is one of our polers, and like ‘‘Tillie , English is her fortress. Her essays are always handed in on time, and she wouldn't think of going to a class room without preparing all her lesson . Some say she studies every night untlt twelve o'clock, but how true this is we can not say. She never gives the teachers one bit of trouble so consequently has even a greater drag than Grace Kidney. Leah is a commercial and always gel twos in every le� - On. She has never been known to flunk since her High School career began. It would be a diffi- cult task to predict her future. 89 Mildred Isabel Wood ring Here’ our “Dimples” just look at them. Her eyes speak volumes—laughter shining in them one minute and lightning another. She is always cut- ting up around her scat—but never gets caught. Some say that Prince Alert id fast but we know that Mildred is Foster ! She really deserves great congratulations in her successful efforts to be a teacher. Our class can lie proud of her as she is very accomplished, for everyone that passed her home on Sunday can testify to her ability to accom- pany a cornet! Good girl—Mildred keep it up. Don't leave us too soon, attho you want to go ever so much, we need you here and they don't way Down in Colon Town Lorenz Kneedler Ayers The Above representation of a human being is composed of about one hundred and fifty pounds of old trash, barrel staves, etc., known to us as Lorenz Knccdlcr Ayers—our noble Editor. He is the first boy in our class and he takes all that comes his way. Everything he docs is done for better (?j or worse ! Judge, vc. Oli Philistines, judge ye, this epitaph for such as he cannot survive ! He is an admirable illustration of loving constancy for who has not seen him the third period in the morning gazing over to L----longingly and heaving heavy sighs. Ayers is an all round good fellow, when you know him right and when you don't—well he’s so and so. He is mild tempered, plays .ball to some extent and is all around pretty decent—we darseu't say anything else about the Editor. Charles Francis Brinkcr This blithe and blithesome, lithe and lithesome creature whom we now present to view is none other than Tod” alias Charlks Francis Brink all around disturber of peace and mental equili- brium. We arc unable to extol any laudable vir- tues that may linger in Tod's corporal vicinity but wc can mention several of his glaring faults. As to hi conscience the less said the belter under- stood. Tod is really a stranger at the High School, as his 'spare moments' arc consumed in dispell- ing the trials and tribulations that cling to the skirts of the world renowned Eureka Athletic Club. After June some of our noted millionaires will receive dire threats, written in a sprawling cm- rogrophy and signed Carlos Frencoso BnvLsenano Brinkcriauo. you recognize the patronym do you not � F.iwcod Sandt Brinkcr Still another of that noble tribe of numberless Hunkers. Drinker delights in the middle name of Sandt, but denies vehemently that he originated this classical appendage. Brinkcr is willing to admit under cross examination thnt he is the biggest im- position that ever pulled tbc wool over the nrgus- like vision of the faculty. Pray tell, forsooth, the cause of the lightning lilic change, that has come in his life. Vague rumors have mingled with the inci- dent cllicr waves which seemed to point out the so- lution to the mystery.—but all were incorrect. But at last the secret was disclosed—he had fallen in love. So frequently has Elwood been knocked over his equestrian abilities that we hate to mention liorsc. It's all true and there's the rub. Still we arc glad to hear that under Jennie's conscientious tutoring lie has entirely abolished riding and in- tends to foot it through Lafayette. 90 Earle Edward Burkhardt The above noble (?) intelligent (?) dignified (?) looking cliap is none other than our illustrious Junto editor—otherwise known as Earle Edward Burk- liardt. Who has not heard him fondly called Phoebe or Sparrow by his dear(?) associates. Since thrust into prominence by his Editorship and Presidency of the A. A. he has carried hit anatomy in the most noticeable nnd attractive of all man- ners—his royal step and benign look—so affected the clock on various occasions that it threw up its hands in disgust and Struck thirteen and cried out in tones of intense agony Give me liberty or give me death. Ah ! There is a rumor floating around that Earle and a Freshman Miss studied newspapers with the nvowed intention of becoming joint tjour- nulists. Success to Ifuii noble calling. Thomas Kenney Connell As an A. P. A. Thomas Kenney Connell takes the four leaf clover. Like all great advocates of reform Tom has his parasites and as- siduously instructs them on the ways of morality. Connell is also a gTeat luminary among his South Side acquaintances. It is hard to predict what branch of science will prove most alluring to Con- nell. He is exceedingly versatile in his accomplish- ments. Tom has not been sitting in llie main room every day during the fourth period for nothing. If you do not place confidence in our assertion, investigate for yourself. With a mein more be- coming (?) to Inncs he inspect his brood. He is monarch (?) of all he surveys. Clifford Blaine Carey It is impossible for the English language to suit- ably describe the above individual—Clifford Blaine Carey, without using undesirable words and phrases. His most noted accomplishments:—The new 1908 Style in which he carries his luuch box around with him when we have one session—and his detestable habit of discharging volley after volley of stale South Side humor and enjoying it to the utmost himself white his hearers are--! ! 1 Another very cute stunt he does—(one which will surely make his future brilliant should he ever attempt to make a living by the stage) is to make a regular sized play- ing card disappear and reappear in remnrkably pro- fessional style. Bravo ? Carey ! You may some day rcACh the height of a Snufftown stage. 9 9' w. Everett Crater Thi is William Rvcrctt Crater. Jr., the man vritli the wooden attitude, ns our 1-oglish Professor so aptly dubbed him, and a curious specimen of genius homo ! He was originally designed for a telegraph Kle; but when it was discovered that he was hollow was endowed with hand-me-down set of brains and thrust upon n nature-faked humanity. I.ikeall class Presidents Crater is a ladies' man.'but unlike most ladies men he is desirous of focussing his at- tentions upon one individual of the fair sex. In his attempts to discover bis soul sister. Rv has become entangled in a combination of circumstances which bid fair to become his undoing. But we'll hear more of this after graduation. Besides being a social lion Crater is somewhat of a wag. Not a greatest in the world for that lielongs to a dog's tnil and we hate to insult the canine species by such odious compari- son� . John Simpson Crater The above mixture of hot air and peevishness is labeled as John Simpson Crater alias Apple.” He suffered from an acute attack of enlargement of the cranium in the early part of our Senior year as he was then in the lime light—Hoot Ball Manager. We know him for wliat he is—bluffer and muckraker. All of us are sufficiently acquainted with his taste for flashy article� —tie� —shoes so we do not have to mention that here. John was eaptain of all sorts of secondary base ball teams, and lie tried to pitch. John has quite a ease on a Freshman dame—who? You know—without our telling. Isn't he good look- ing? Not?) Yes (?)— George Young Deichman This despicable mass of molecules is none other than Gkokck Young Dkichma.v, the Pretzel King of Dutclitown. It is a crying shame that such a bluffer, crook, and bully as Dandy” dare roam the streets of this civilized community without fear of incarceration. Many and many a time has liccruelly maltreated Clifford Krantz, and just because “til Mosc entreated him for a piece of pretzel. With all his faults Deichman is a pretty fair sort, yet he can’t see a joke, fails to appreciate music or the theatre, never exhibits any common sense and is ab- solutely devoid of brains. It is difficult to prognosti- cate for Deichman,—he'll never amount to much we arc certain, but how little we arc not prepared to � '• 92 Altert James Graham Here's the only boy who recites in English- Why don't you kuow that even tlio he know nothing at all about the lesson—he talks about yesterdays lesson and gets a good grade. He has lots—(too much in fact) of nerve and don't know it. Graham is very studious and quiet and tries to butt in on the Mandolin Club and help murder pieces,—well he can do it alright—Graham is a freak in mathe- matics and German—a wonder in English and a novelty in Civics. He invariably grins at serious things and looks sober at good jokes. Between the two—Graham and Klcber—Carey hasn’t much rest in Room C. I.ets see what the world has in store for him. James Robert Innes Behold ye incredulous multitude; Again I say unto you behold this god-like specimen of divine handiwork. 'Tis Jam us Roidirt Ixnbs—a man. The only fellow of the Senior Class who enjoys the privilege of suffrage. Innes is rarely seen on the streets or at I.crch's corner before or after school, but there are but a few who are cognizant of his whereabouts at such times. Have you ever passed that little hole in the wall where Jim's brother dis- penses dope in bags, boxes or ropes? And ns you passeri did you take particular notice of that Indian posing on that raised pedestal, That is our Jim ! A tomahawk in his hand, a few feathers in his hair and his disguise is complete—and effectual. Just pinch that sign and you'll hear a cry of beat it! That establishes Innes's identity. Brooks Charles Kleber Sit up and take notice—what can't he try to do— yet what does he do(?)—artist (?) business man- ager (?) singer (?) barber (?) poet (?) book-keeper (?1 and what (?) else (?) If he would only see himself in the mirror of other people's cranium and find out exactly what they think of him—which way would the corners of his mouth turn—up(?) or down! ket's hope he gets an employer who calls him in time for work for who has not seen him come tramping up to the desk at 9.50 A. M. and say A 13 every morning—till the school board bad a special meeting to decide whether or not the roll should or should not be at the regular time to accommodate Brooks. But Brooks—is—Still—late. 93 Chester Arthur MurUugh Only the good die young, and for that very reason we predict longevity for the subject of this sketch Ciikstbk Arthur Murtaugh. Chet was once known as Satan, lmt thanks to the valiant efforts of Pat Connell, class friar, this harsh nick- name became softened to Mephisto. Murtaugh is remarkable for three things—his brains, his hands, and his inability to forget nis Freshman crush. We envy him for the first, fear him for the second, and pity him for the third. If Chet settles down to con- nubic bliss all well and good. If not the microbe in- fested. germ laden waters ol the dirty Delaware will have a sad. tad tale to tell. Murtaugh is pursu- ing the classical course but is of a scientific bent hav- ing discovered conjointly with Prof. Sandt, The Intellectual Parasite. Stanley Eugene Muthart One day something happened,an inanimate object of humanity shipped C. O. D. front Beading and labeled Handle with care. was deposited within the portals of Easton High School with full in- structions concerning the modes and ways of oper- ating. After much deliberation this spcciman of humanity was named Stanley Eugene Muthart. They say he is a wonderful man although, for he is somewhat of a ping jiong shark (?) basket-ball player (?) stenographer (?) and book-keeper (?) Be- sides these qualities he also has an idea that he is a Muller having stuffed everybody whom he has met full of hot air to the brim! This windjamming habit is his predominating feature, and we would like to warn all respectable people to avoid him in in the future. Floyd Elswortb Purdy Stop ! I-OOk ! I.istcn ! Behold our noted intellectual parasite — ob- sequious sycophant. lout ”, boot-licker and ladies man—essentials of Floyd KUworth Purdy. He Is still a child in mind altho a dub in physique. He continually annoys everyone by his infernal hum- ming, mumbling and drummingon the desk. What he will do in after life we know not—and Js a ques- tion which can only be decided by time. His pretty forelock is continually falling over his beautiful eyes and is always being gently laid back in its original position with the most graceful and dex- terous movement—This movement attracts the fair sex—Purdv I wake up ! be a man ! and help us in our task of trying to make you one. Walter Douglas Rice A freak of nature and a human curiosity, operat- ing under the name of Rice. To view the auditory canals of this chap very closely, one would observe that they are abnormal in size, and entirely out of proportion. This is due to a certain process called ••lobbing,” While performing this proces� . Rice is in his joy, but woe to the ear which is operated upon! Purdy who sits in front of him, was so afflicted by the effect� of this disease, that he had to undergo an operation upon his left car. Again, ■'Lob is the everlasting chatterbox of the class, and his future is already assured. He lias been engaged as the chief attraction for the side show of Ilarnunt and Bailey's greatest show on earth. Herbert Samuel Smith Here's the best tempered—and mildest animal of Row A—Cell—17—Herbert Samuel Smith, He i.s perfect (?) in every way especially in Room H. His wonderful speed on the typewriter and his accuracy in bookkeeping have won him the respect of the commercials. He is also a fine dancer— musician and decorator—He paddles his own canoe, sings to some extent—can play any sports— foot- ball— baseball—basketball—track—swim—fish and play ping-pong. He is continually giving friends good (?) advice and doing various other generous acts Now. friends, this noble (?) specimen of generosity (?) friendship (?) constancy (?) and in- tellectual capacity (') can be had for a very small •'Price . Dont pass him without saying There's the Beau Brocade of 19 8 ”-'s death—shocking. Charles Edward Straub The chap who posed as the original for the above cut is none other than Clias. Edward Straub. He was never pleased with anything during his entire course in our school—though 'tis true he laughs at suspicious jokes but they generally arc originated by Straub himself. One thing we envy our dis. tftiguished classmate for, is his ability to look wise no matter how little he knows. This virtue and the lingering reputation of his brother Sam’s genius have added materially in assisting Charley through his course. Besides being something of a literary light Straub is a musician of no mean ability, and although he could neverattain anything higher than second fiddle in Cupid's orchestra wc hope for his success! 95 Class $oem of 1908 Rea® by igracr D. Ltihnrp SB8S� «S0K UCCESS, the watchword of all men, Was oft the theme of tongue and pen. Let us once more its meaning trace, For on its truth our motto we base. FINIS CORONAT OPUS—this means The end outshines all other scenes, •Tis true, THE END DOTH CROWN THE WORK. A call to those inclined to shirk. Four years we’ve toiled and struggled here, The work grew harder year by year. One hundred eight days yet remain Till we the last round shall attain. '• Tick, tock, the old clock is saying And counting our moments away. The weeks and days and hours arc numbered That lead to COMMENCEMENT DAY. The slender sapling bare and tall Is passed and slighted by us all, The winter winds go whistling through Its leafless branches weak and few. But when the Spring comes round again And waters it with April rain The little buds arc plain to see, The sapling soon a beauteous tree. By many a Summer’s sun and rain, New leaves and boughs and buds ’twill gain And then the tree so graceful tall Will tower above companions all. All work is like the sapling tree; Ugly, uncouth it seems to be. But when at last the end is won We look with pride and say, “ Well done.” I have counted you over and over, I have thought of you one by one. And wondered how I should mark you Of offence I hope there is none. Our boys are a goodly number, At their follies first I'll rap. But where can you find any better If you look all over the map? There's Ayers, the orator classic, A bashful or haughty boy, Whose faint heart and utter indifference Will many an admirer annoy. Then there arc the ‘‘sports’’ all three of a kind, Rice, Bnrkhardl, and Murtaugh, the three Who each in his turn hath possessed the heart Of a Freshman we all know to see. 96 There’S Pencil and John, the Crater boys, The lord of our class-and another sport. One goes to the South Side quite often wc hear, But we can’t rely on report. And John’s neckties! Did you ever see them ? Ix ok now and see one to-day. Green or ceruse arc the colors “Quite becoming,” 1 know you will say. For the long and the short take the Brinkcrs, It’s smoking made Charles so small. But his head what he thinks is in it Makes Ivlwood so awfully tall. Then Carey and Graham, two polcrs, But loud and boisterous boys, We say when wc hear a racket, That's Carey whose making that noise. A pretzel, a pipe, and Dcichuian, A Dutch combination, it's true But one young lass in the second year class, Admires that pipe and you. Tom Connell, a studious fellow. Never even looks at a girl But in oratorship he's proficient And sends your brain in a whirl. Innes and Kleber have voices— Whose notes go ever so low, One addicted to Allentown peanuts, And one a Beau Brummel you know. Ami of course we've a Smith, -every class has one, Herbert, a musician, athlete, and beau, Stenographer skillful, and book-keeper shrewd No “ l‘ ice is too high for one talented so. •• What a child Muthart is !” in school, but outside, He’s become quite a spendthrift, a generous beau, For one night lie had the “ Price ’’ of four dollars, How he did it I do not know. In music our genius, Professor Straub, Has talents that place him so high, That to smile quite broadly or laugh out loud We fear would cause him to die. Musicians, scholars, athletes, and all, The boys of 190s arc true, .To the RED AND WHITE of K. H. S. The fairest flag that ever flew. In loyalty our girls, no less, Uphold the fame of Easton High Our students, and society buds. Their Alma Mater glorify. I’ve a cluster of compliments for our girls With the gigglers we’ll begin Bethman, Rockafellow, Stocker and Stotz Count Hillyer and Weaver in. They giggle and laugh from nine till four— Except now and then when the teachers frown, I believe they’d laugh at a saint himself If he’d ask them to quiet down. Quite otherwise Armstrong and Fuller - Have gathered of wisdom a store They can speak on almost all topics. Only the teachers know more. And speaking of wisdom and knowledge. There's Carter so wise and sweet, But that's all I dare say about her. She is bigger and I am discreet. There's Ackerman, Kline and Buckley, I wonder which one will propose, It’s leap year you know and permissible, Perhaps he has done it—who knows ? Margaret Crater is a marvelous bluffer, It takes genius to do the trick If slic’d teach us all how to to do it. We would try her scheme very quick. There’s Betty who need have no trouble When she wishes to change her name, But didn’t you know it ? Why of course 'Twill be Evans just the same. The Goulds both Emma and Helen, Great talkers the teachers have found When you look for Emma in the proper place You find she’s nowhere around. A noisy five I will mention Malarkcy, Wolbacli, Rauschwcndel and Horn Such talkers as these and Tillie Jones, Have never before been born. Howland and Jennings, society lights Have chosen partners, they say, with care, I am stire we hope to hear some day The wedding Bell if it’s Fchr. Now Ethel wears Phillipsburg class pins, Can you guess what that may mean ? Just watch her longing gaze sometimes You may guess if you’re very keen. Grace Kidney I’d mention -a “suffragette “ I“or her work in civics famed If women could vote and office hold For mayor slic’d be named. And now my song is near its end. If I had time I’d tell Of Laura White and Marion Thomas Of whom we all speak well. Of Mary Miller and Mae Wilhelm, Who never stop talking even in sleep. Of Mildred Woodring and blushing Pearl Wilson, Who all to themselves their wise thoughts keep. And which of these couples does Hazel resemble ? Is she a talker like Mae ? Or is she quiet and modest as Pearl With never a word to say ? Of Phila and Jennie two maidens, Whose knowledge of Latin is great. They can take up Virgil’s Acncid And with a mere glance translate. Of Thco. Walton and Helen White — In sines and co-sines proficient In mathematics they almost surpass The skill of their teacher omniscient. So there you are each one of you Your faults or merits brought to light And if I was wrong or misjudged you I’ll be willing to set it right. I have spoken all in kindness You have taken it all in fun. And so my task with pleasure ends That was with fear begun. Once more our motto let inc quote “ The end doth crown the work.’’ And if the former toil is hard Wc must not halt or shirk. 99 How slow the rock is quarried out To build a lighthouse strong and stout The mason then toils long with care His strength and skill he docs not spare. He cannot build on slippery sands, On high, firm rock the lighthouse stands. And in the top tile lantern bright Is placed to shed its warning light. Our life should be this lighthouse strong On firm rock based to keep from wrong. Let books and tasks our quarry be Experience the masonry. And when at last the goal is gained, The last day's work we have attained, We’ll all look up and proudly say, “ I've earned my graduation Day. JOSKPHINF, T. CONDRAK As Others See Us Read by Stanley E. Muthart on losth Day IiRE is no trait of human character so potential for weal or woe, as firmness. To the business man it isall-important. To the general it is worth armies and navies, to the statesman it is the very groundmark of success. Difficulties, the terror of which make the pampered sons of luxury to shrink back in dismay, provoke from the man of’lofty deter- mination only a smile. The whole history of our race, all nature indeed, teems with examples to show what wonders may be accomplished by resolute perseverance and patient toil. It is related of Tainbcrlainc, the celebrated warrior, the terror of whose arms spread thru all the Eastern nations and whom victory atteuded at almost every step, that he once learned from an insect a lesson of perseverance which had a striking effect on his future characterand success. When closely pursued by his enemies—he took refuge in some old ruins, when, left to his solitary musings, he espied an ant tugging and striving to carry a single grain of corn. His unavailing efforts were repeated sixty-nine times and at each several time, so soon as he reached a certain point of projection he fell back with his burden, unable to surmount it; but the seventieth time he bore his spoil in triumph, and left the wondering hero reanimated and exulting in the hope of future victory. What a lesson that is ! Even Nature’s meanest bodies reveal what man has long sought. Nature is not alone the source of such examples, but the Class of Nineteen Eight has an excellent one, too. Our little man, Elwood Brinker, is a first rate example of perseverance and toil (?). He has won his way to the Senior Class thru four long years of diligence and patient effort. In study? No! Not in study but in the art of pony horsemanship. He has mastered the art to such a degree of perfection that Cicero, Virgil, Xenophon and even Trigonometry have lost their terrors to him and have proven only cobweb barriers in his path ! The class of nineteen eight should be proud to have such a menjber. Who knows what the future has in store for him? Who knows but that some day he may learn to handle the affairs of this mighty government in the same style that he does his ponies now ? Many, many others have attempted to use these rebellious little animals but with what result ? There’s Rice, Purdy and Murtaugh—they have tried to employ them but there is lacking that keen sense of touch—that artistic finish that one secs at the hands of Brinker—and they have dismally failed. Now I have mentioned that Purdy is an unfortunate being who tried to work ponies and failed. I do not want you to get the idea that he has only tried one or two; but the truth is he is everlastingly making them but enough of this. We all know Purdy—we know him well. He is a good fellow. Comes to school about fifteen minutes after one and laughs, talks and makes a lot of other unnecessary noise till twenty-eight minutes after and then he gets to work and studies; and any one who attempts to make any noise is promptly told to—“ Shut up, how can a fellow study.” Another peculiarity about Purdy is that he is so exceedingly slow. Why, do you know how long it took him to write a check for thirty-five cents for me the other day? Well, it took him just 20 minutes, io j seconds to complete the paper. No wonder lie was so busy during football season. Try to imagine how long it must have taken him to write some of the checks that Crater called for! Then if he is so slow giving money away, he is slower still in collecting it. He is treasurer of the A. A. and has been around twice to collect dues this year. But, Purdy is not the only one that is dealing in money matters. Our class has another financier in the person of Carey. Carey is treasurer of the C. C. C. C. What under the sun that means I don’t know unless it might mean: Carey’s Celebrated Collection of Curiosities,” or “ Carey's Cute Cabinet of Curios; ” but I guess the nearest any one can get to it is: Carey’s Corporation of Coffee Coolers.” He has a bad habit of cracking a joke and being the first one to laugh at it. It’s a downright shame that a fellow with Carey's build should not take more of the burden of the class on his shoulders. Another colleague of this curious conglomeration is our artist-poet-busincss-managcr-singer and barber—Brooks Kleber. He cer- tainly is a queer combination. How the Gods ever managed to give him their protection thus far thru his life is a mystery to me. I will not attempt to give you my opinion of his product which he calls poetry, but I will leave you draw yonr own conclusions from these examples : This program was put up to-day To show that wc have brains. And we wilt carry it to our cud Altho it snows arid rains.” This one he has dedicated to El. Brinker: “l car little nun with the slender legs Man with the short black hair. Why do you «lanee on your sleiuler pegs ? Why do you rant and rare ? Why do you howl and mutter so ? '■ Why do you clench your fist ? ” Silly Chatterer, don't you know? I am an cl-o-cu-tion-ist.” Then hearing of Murtaugh's disaster connected with his ambition, and seeing a note which Chet had received, translated it to run thusly Der rose vas redt Der violets blue You see I've left And you left too. Signed (8. His voice is no better than his poetry. It reminds one of a concert by felines at night. As to his tousorial abilities I know nothing at all for which I am devoutly thankful. This world of ours is in need of men who arc dignified, upright, noble, learned and just. The world has ever been thus and ever will lx-. She longs for such men and the Class of Nineteen Eight lias found favor in her eyes by having such a man—our president—His 101 Excellency, Everett Crater. In our class we have the greatest contrast in all the history of Easton High School. No other class lias had such a distinct difference and wide scope heretofore. This great contrast is composer! of Connell for one extreme and Chas. Brinker for the other. Everett is in the middle of this contrast and in that position can easily be judged by comparison with these other two persons. Connell never smokes—Brinker is never without a smoke. Connell displays a remarkable liking for silence while Brinker exhibits the most talkati%'c of talkative tongues. Connell’s vocabulary consists of the choicest flowers of the English language. (We really do not realize what a prize we have in him.) Then there is Brinker to spoil it all. He claims to have the refined vocabulary of the Sixth ward of Allentown, of Bethlehem and Snufftown, and the lower end of P-Burg. Then comes Smith with his oblong, creaking rattle-box—better known as a guitar, and Graham with his queer pear-shaped instru- ment of torture known as a mandolin. Connell is in this particular class too, but I don’t consider him to be quite as far gone as they are. These two midnight prowlers have a peculiar desire to persuade the lower classmen of the Mandolin Club to run around the town at night disturbing the people in their sleeping hours with their discordant serenade. My only hope is that the people of Easton will not lay the blame upon this dear (?) old building for their ridiculous antics—for we know how bravely (?), kindly (?), and patiently (?), the faculty have struggled to bring them to tlicir proper senses. But, Oh ! what a hopeless task they have had. They might just as well have tried to infuse vigorous nerve into Inncs as well as to attempt to reform them. They might as well have tried to reduce the superfluous abun- dance of stubbornness in Ayer's constitution and imparl or hammer some learning into the vacuum—the space in his head, as to try to give Inncs nerve. So friends, look at their problems, they had to face. Don’t grumble when you are up against it in Trig or Latin, but face it with the same spirit that our Faculty has and sec if you can come to better results. I say it was an utterly hopeless task for them to attempt to give Inncs nerve. Poor fellow ! It really is too bad. But Ayers has shown some improvement and lie is gradually rising in the estimation of the teachers as is shown by his semester conduct grade—99. What do you think of that for a Senior? Our class has made the school very popular in all this section of the State. The main cause of this is the abundance of 190S pennants. E. H. S. pennants, and 190S class pins with the initials J. C. on the back. In every town where any of our athletic teams have contested you will find one or more of the above. Who docs this? Well, I’ll tell you. The Knight of the Yellow Shoes. (The shoes arc yetloio, not tan). The Knight of the Flashy Necktie and Facial Agility. John Crater—our football manager. It is a pity that more, or I had better say some, Easton girls can’t show one of his class pins or pennants. Now please do not get the idea that our school is climbing higher and higher thru the foregoing means alone, but it is also making rapid steps thru the Junto. Its excellent editorials written by his honor the editor and its personals by Rice have received unalloid praise. Burklinrdt has a vocabulary worthy of one of so high a position. Indeed, I have often wondered when I look at him and his owl-like ex- pression what his mission in this world really is. It is the greatest puzzle to me. While Burkliardt doesn’t appear to know or do anything at all in particular Rice is most marked in his way. Rice’s mission in this world of ours is to be the first specimen of a new infection for which I have coined a word from the old language. This new infection is known to 111c and will be known to others by the suggestive term “ Lobbydipious.” In other words the patient has the endless desire to play with the base of his ear. Some people have been known to be dangerous when in this condition but here again Rice steps in by remaining perfectly impassive and meek. As there is no known cure for this frightful disease we had better await further developments of his case. Murtaugh has as the Junto puts it “ but one ambition.” For the benefit of those who do not know what this ambition is, I will tell you. It is to love some one and to have some one love him. In fact. lately I have begun to think that his ambition is bciug realized, 102 but several other members of our class have had the same ambition and have been sadly disappointed, and so I now find that he is. Also, on his behalf, now we must thank Klebcr for his verse of sympathy (?) To use our excellent literary medium again we have a mere pipe dream in our class. Well he certainly is a dream. Dcichman is one of those funny kinds of dreams that somehow you don’t just quite interpret. He’s a queer smoke dream. Or better still he is a pretzel dream. A very common phrase around his seat is “Give us something good Doughtcy.” And the way the fellows run to him as soon as he comes into the room, one who is unacquainted with this queer dream would think that they were running to sec the King of England, or the Czar of Russia, llut when the smoke would clear away that person would see only our cute little Doughtey standing all alone and smiling generously. Then there comes Straub. Brilliant piano player and queer disposition compounded together make one of the queerest, deepest combinations in our class. It is truthfully said that he can make a piano talk, but how far different is his attitude at other times. He is the most reserved and accomplished member of the class. I have often wondered why he didn't imitate Paderewski by combing his hair in different ways every other day but he keeps just plodding along. In view of this I can with all sincerity predict a brilliant future for Charley. He is grace, ease, and skill personified at the piano on Wednesday afternoons. For who of our class have not noticed his grace- ful posture and heard his superb variations with wonder. Some day we will all be proud that he was a member of our class and be glad to say, “ Oh ! Charley was in our class and a bright boy he was, too.” Such is the roll of my illustrious comrades in the Class of Nineteen Eight. Whether they have been praised or criticised it was all done in view of a lesson for them for which they can cither deprive benefit or consolation. So I will close with a few words, to them to keep up their good work. Never despair of anything my friends. Keep up your courage, be bold in spirit. Indulge in no doubts they are traitors, and hindrances. In the pursuit of our calling let us never lose sight of its highest ideal and let us never disregard small things. There is always two sides, my friends, a right and a wrong—but be sure you do not take the wrong. Observe this rule and every experi- ence will be to you a means of advancement: Now suppose the world don't please you. Nor the way sonic people do— Do vou think the whofc creation Will lie altered just for you ? And Un’t it. my young man or woman. The wisest, bravest plan Whatever comes, or doesn't come To do the best you can 03 IO Boys Prophecy (This being a reverie by Father Time in the year of 195s) ELL, here's another half century gone. And I feel just as young as ever. It seems as if it were only yesterday that the year 1908 passed away. That was a fine year. Everything was at its best that year. Look at the Class of 1908 in old Easton High School for example. Yes, they certainly filled all expectations. I wonder if I remember what became of the fellows of that class—let me see—there was Murtaugh—what did he turn out to be? Oh yes—he organized a correspondence school to teach how to manage a baseball team and run it into debt, at the same time having scraps with the captain. He failed in that, yes lasted about two years at that, and then wrote a book entitled ' My First Love and Throw Down.’ Ha! Ha! I remember that he certainly did make a splurge with it. I believe the only copy ever sold was bought by a young lady of his class—no she was in the Class of 1911. He never did do much of anything, just dabbled in and out and butted in. I can’t just recollect where he is now, but come to think of it, I believe he’s trying to make a living by giving atheistic reminds me of Connell. I am surprised at the way he turned out. Everything pointed 104 lectures—that toward a halo in '08,- but gracious me! what a mistake. Altho he did lead the Salvation Army and address the Ladies’ Aid Society several times, that career ended in short order and he took a job as Sporting Editor of the ‘Snuff- town Jabber’ for four years. Then he played the races, and now lie’s at Norristown—being sent there to be taken care of properly—got dippy from worrying over his bets, I believe. That’s certainly a queer case. I believe it is the only one that ever happened that way no, here’s another, that Tod Brinker went to college for ministry, then toured the country making a small living by giving addresses on ‘ Profanity Among School Boys,' ‘ The Damnation Caused by Cigarettes,’ and other subjects as interesting. My, what unexpected things did happen ! Brinker is now pastor at Bath, I think of the First Reformed Hen Coop Stealers Church. Well, surprises of all kinds have happened in that class, but Carey, had remained the same old greasy grocer's clerk until he was near 30, then he broke camp and fled to San Francisco and there posed as ‘ Brindamour, the Second,’ mystifying the people by getting out of string hand- cuffs and doing his famous card trick. It didn’t pay, as the people didn't take to such things out there the way Muthart and El. Brinker did, so Carey failed and went back to sanding sugar and watering vinegar. There were only three fellows out of that whole class that stuck together, they were corkers all three of them. It appears they jointly owned a pony named Vergil II, who was worked pretty hard at a certain race, and on being examined, was found to be crooked! and the three, as owners, were held under the judges for sometime for special examination, but by some other scheme they managed to get out. Altho it is said that the strain affected Rice’s mind very seriously, but that is nothing—his brain was gradually growing weaker and weaker by reason of his ‘ lobing.’ Rice is at Mat- tawan, where he was taken directly after the race track scandal, and still continues to ‘ lob ’ and expostulate ‘Three ply- twin screw.’ Poor fellow, he was disappointed in love, and, I believe that was the ‘ Kern'-el of the whole business. Straub finally succeeded in getting a position as piano player in a sensational motion picture gallery, where variations were desired. Straub always had a taste for the unusual—both in the musical and the other lines of life, if I remember rightly,- and Purdy—poor duffer! lie has as yet not fully recovered from the Intellectual Parasite business. For weeks and weeks he fretted and fumed, but finally quieted down. He is now slinging ‘ liquids’ and ‘ foams' or ‘ suds’ out on Lehigh street. Another bunch held together for four months—the quartette—Kleber as second bass, J. Crateras first bass, 'OS El. Brinker as tenor, and Ev. Crater as baritone, but it wasn’t a go, and they separated. Kleber went tobarbering, and occasionally tried to manage some sociable or affair, which, as usual, proved a fake. ' Apple ’ took to traveling as a salesman, and chose wearing the flashy stocks, instead of carrying them in a suit case—he is still on the road (but not to success). Brinker tried a livery stable, thinking he could make it go with his wide knowledge of ponies, but it didn’t work now he is making a living by selling ‘ Mats' on the installment plan. Then Ev. Crater shortly after he left the bunch went to Law as a profession. He succeeded so far as to make a speech in the Court House in the case of the three partners and the race track scandal. Ev. pleaded for them and succeeded in pacifying the temper of the Judge but that’s all he ever did worthy of notice. It seems that Ev. wasn’t so very popular with the “Mass(y)es” after all, although he thought he was. He ran for Town Clerk but was beat out by Smith. He was a good fellow—Smith was. Made a living for some time by playing on the mandolin in different clubs and playhouses, but finally after he got the “Price” he got Muthart and the two of them toured the country and made the only real successful break of the whole class. They went on the vaudeville stage in a very clever act called “The Musical Nuts.” Smith opened with a Maudolin Solo—preferably “ Betsy's the Belle of the Bathers” followed by Muthart’s quaint collection of Jokes, etc. The two then gave a piano duet which never failed to produce tremendous applause. The only drawback was Mut’s liking for Soda and Ice Cream—he ate his whole salary up in that alone. He is now over in Europe being exhibited as the only Dutchman who didn’t like beer ! Smith then raked Graham into partnership and they are now touring, but don’t meet with the success the first combination did. Graham had formerly been a chemist but made so many mistakes in his compounds and solutions that his employer dismissed him for safety. He also tried the stage but failed and then went with Smith. The funniest combination that ever happened was the Innes—Deichman go. Really, now they were a case, Innes traveled with the circus to do athletic stunts and display his medals, while Deichman traveled with it to sell his pretzels, jujubies and lime drops. They worked together for sometime this way till Deichman grew too fat to travel for single fare, then he settled down in S. Easton and lived off his mother-in-law who took in washing, but Innes made quite a hit with the circus and now, in these days when circuses are no more he is living in Allentown and earns some money helping his better half make dresses—(as she is a seamstress). The two editors of the ’o8 class entered printer's offices as printer’s devils and rose 106 to be hackmen and they have been hacking it ever since. They turn in as much good material in one hour as they did in English in one month- (nothing). They’ve made a living and that’s all. It seems to me that every time I try to recall old memories and peer straight into the face of the world to discern the position occupied by old friends I get terribly sleepy—I don’t know—but I believe I’ll take a nap for a while. That class is all right, and always was, but my eyes are heavy.” (Father Time’s head falls upon his breast and his regular breathing indicates healthy slumber). 107 Girls Prophecy Honk! Honk! Honk ND WE were off. Lucy Jennings, Lila Kline, Reita Weaver and I. Of course you don’t know about our plan so I’ll try to enlighten you. I had asked the girls when we graduated if as many of them as were in Easton eight years after, and were able to, would go on a trip to see the rest of our classmates. They all promised but when the eight years were up, the only ones I could get were Lucy, Lila aud Reita. They were in Easton and as Slip, Hart and Stanley didn’t object, they promised to take a week off with me. Our one objective point was New York State. For Betty Evans, who is the social leader of Syracuse, had promised us a grand time if we would just come and see “ The Evans’.” Starting off quite early we had gone about fifty miles when we passed through a town where the first thing that greeted our eyes was a glaring sign with the letters B. B. B. B. As we drew near the office which it adorned, who should come tripping out, but Nina Carter and Jennie Matteson as dainty and demure as ever. Our cries of recognition were followed by an explanation. The sign simply stood for “ Brinker and Burkhardt, Business Bluffers.” After an animated conversation we cranked up and soon were in New York City. Going up Fifth Avenue we were attracted by a crowd of people fairly strug- gling to enter a business house which bore the attractive words. “ Tell Us Your Love Affairs. We Can Help You.” And underneath, Ackerman and Howland. Of course we jumped out and went to see our classmates. Inside we found seven private offices with seven pretty clerks in charge. And these were none other than Margaret Crater, 108 Mildred Stocker, Helen Stotz, Marj. Buckley, Ethel Rockafellow, Mae Wilhelm and Lizzie Rausclnvendel. If we weren’t excited to hear how this had started. It seemed Frances and Hazel had had so much experience in the “heart line’’—almost as much as Lila, in fact that they started in to tell others and their practice increased so steadily that they called upon some other “wise” (?) members to help them. They told us that one of their best customers was Ethel Kline, for she was always bothered with some new love affair ; and while we were there, in she came to discuss the pros and cons of Offer Number 57, I believe. After we left we went on up the street and came to a bill board where the “ First Appearance in Vaudeville of Mademoiselle Helene ” and “ America’s Greatest Imperso- nator S. Ilillaire” were posted in letters of huge type. A matinee was just about to start and we went in to find these stars no other than Helen Gould and Sadie Hillyer. It seemed quite natural in a way to see them, for we all remembered Helen’s dramatic speeches in the main room during our High School career and there wasn’t one of us that Sadie hadn't fairly convulsed with her good imitations. By this time we were due at Syracuse, and spinning along at a good rate, arrived in time for a Dance. We stayed a couple of days and all agreed that Betty should take the prize as a hostess. When we left we saw about three miles out, on the top of a hill what appeared to be a little village. As we approached, strains of music were heard and soon we encountered a band. And the leader was none other than Helen Bothman. She told us the cause of the mirth, and it certainly was very surprising. Two members of our class were expected home on that day, bringing great honor both for themselves and their town. They had been exploring the wilds of Africa and had, as trophies, many tiger and leopard skins. Just then the train pulled in aud there stepped on the platform, armed with guns and warlike implements,—Alice Horn and Tilly Jones. Can you wonder at our surprise ? We were all so interested in the proceedings that we decided to stay over for a while and attend the exercises held in honor of the adventurers. Here another surprise awaited us. The speeches of welcome were to be given by the Deans of various colleges and two of the chief speakers proved to be Sara Fuller and Margaret Armstrong. Such eloquence as they displayed in greeting the travelers! After the bursts of applause were hushed, the audience was invited to sing our new national anthem ; a stirriug and martial one. Rumors as to the identity of the author had long beeu current aud now, for the first time, the name was printed. Of course it was Josephine Condran. Her skill at versifying was very pronounced at school. After the performance we waited to greet our 109 classmates and thereby discovered another. There was Mildred Woodring, who was making her way “ Poster” and “ Foster ” to the position of head teacher in Mathematics at Belvidere High School. Mildred told us that Helen White had received so many honors at Smith,on account of her wonderful knowledge of Mathematics, that she had established a school upon graduation and was making a success of it when—someone came along and she left her school to be married. Mildred had heard who the man was but was so confused by the names of all the people Helen had talked about, that she didn’t know which one she chose. By the time we had gleaned all this information it was late, so after wishing every one great success we hurried off. The next day we came to lake Ontario and there found a modern palace of a hotel border- ing on the lake. As wc entered who should come to greet us as a sort of pseudo hostess, but Phila Magee. Alas, Phila Magee no longer. She had always been so fond of lakes after that eventful summer when she camped out and met “him,” that she had decided to always stay near one. Of course Laura was with her. She had intended to become a model, after the excitement that picture of her in our Rechaufte created, but when Phila went away she had to go too, and give up her scheme. Phila and Laura said they had heard so much of a dress-making establishment and when they went there, found that the proprietors were Grace Kidney and Mary Malarkey. You all must remember what pretty frocks they used to have, and they determined to put their good taste to use and had quite a number of girls under them. We were speaking about some other members of our class who were successful and Laura asked if we had heard about Marion Thomas, Florence Wilhelm, Pearl Wilson and Leah Wolbach. It seems they always had writteu such good advertisements in school that when they were graduated they took it up as their profession. In fact the attractive “Cupid Co., Ltd.” sign with its catchword “Uneeda-mau ” was one of their devices. After spending a day at Lake Ontario we decided to start on our homeward stretch as we were afraid the weather this week was too glorious to last. The country we passed through was beautiful and as we went along, we had plenty of time to stop and look at every- thing and if need be look again. One afternoon we passed a large building, very imposing and with doors thrown open to the public. Inside we could see figures moving about and as we went in saw it was a school of some kind. Perfect quiet reigned. As we went through room after room we wondered at the unusual pupils who made no move at seeing us and seemed to discipline themselves. Finally we reached a room where a great amount of noise was going on and looking in, whom should we see but Emma Gould, Mary Miller and Hazel McPherson! In a second no everything was explained. The poor girls were teachers in a Deaf and Dumb Institute and the only persons they had to talk to, were themselves. Imagine our three chatter boxes all going at once. We were glad to escape. After this encounter we had no more adventures and on recounting them to each other found that we had seen or heard of our entire class. As we pulled into Easton, dusty and tired out, the girls all agreed that we had had a lovely time and after a final honk! honk ! as I left the last girl at her door I drove on to my own home. Theodocia Walton. i i 'Tis Class Day, and to-day our eyes trace back Along the lessening track of four long years. What find we in that view which grieves to-day ? What do we wish were off the map of life ? When Freshmen pale we entered the portals grim Of Easton High School and there enrolled our names What was our aim, what was our purpose high, And did we in this aim succeed or fail ? But half arc left of all that goodly crowd, The rest have gone to try life’s daily toil, And now we too must say the parting word To High School's banner wave a fond farewell. For her our boast has always been so proud, Within her walls we’ve passed four pleasant years, Upon her clock our time has ticked away. And now with parting words we hesitate, And breathe in fondest accents our farewell. Old Easton High the home of all our fame, To thee farewell! Our lips but sigh the word Farewell to verdant hill and spreading trees, Thy bell has rung for us a last good-bye In coming years embalmed in gratitude Shall rest the love of Easton High for aye. Class Poem To friends who will in rank and class succeed, To these the parting word we sadly say, And with farewell we ask of them take heed To do your best and make each single day, A stepping stone to fame, to knowledge sure Once gained to last and for a life endure. Up, up and on, and make each part A link in a golden chain No hardships daunt an honest heart And courage the prize will gain. One last request that of the best Of your wishes we may have one, While ive wish you a crown of great renown And God speed in the race you run. And now to those who from their goodly store Of learning gave to us who scarce could grasp The words and meanings of their loftier minds, Who oft have stayed by admonition due Our wilder spirits which from bonds oft broke, Who still with firm but kindly hand would lead Us on through paths of knowledge wide but dim, 112 To these we turn with parting words which scarce The lips will uttter though the heart is fain to say, Their friendship gained can ne'er by time or tide Be severed. And when old the world has grown And in us all Life’s wisdom has found place. Each one will hold in memory’s fondest clasp This bond which in our youthful days was sealed. Farewell, O kings and queens, whose rule Was but the little realm of school, Although your bounds we leap. Allegiance true we’ll always keep. The last and the saddest remains for us to say, Classmates farewell to you ! The word still waits And pauses on our lips before ’tis said. The days which found us gathered all as one Arc gone. And now in different paths we go The Gold Other classes have their colors In this dear old Keystone state. O’er our hearts we place the emblem Of the class of naughty-eight. Our voices ring loud with praises, And the spirit we never lack Rises high to shower honor On the dear old GOLD and BLACK. But why regret? Those golden days have been, And golden days may yet await each one. On the river of life we slowly have run And now we have come to the open sea, Let us spread our sails, and with firm hand steer And watch that our course from rocks be free. Together we've trifled, together we’ve toiled. We’ve shared in joys and woes. Now far apart our paths may go, IIow distant no one knows. In Life’s broad acre we’ll labor on Where God or fate has willed. Till Death as reaper shall sweep o’er The field that each has tilled. JositPiiiNK T. Conoka - and the Black Jnst one year is left to shield us E'er on life's broad field we run. But we'll nobly strive and struggle To leave no duty undone. We'll hold our heads up proudly On diamond, field or track : We belong to the class of naughty-eight With the colors GOLD and BLACK. When the sun of life is setting And our eyes with age are dim ; When the Tides of Time are ebbing And we’ve lost our strength and vim. Often then in fondest memory Will the thoughts of each turn back To the pleasant years of naughty-eight And the dear old GOLD and BLACK. JOSKPHINK T. CONDRAN, ’oS. «� 3 Events of the enior Year Football Banquet and Dance |HE heroes of the gridiron betook themselves to the obscure group of dwellings so appropriately chris- tened Frcemansburg, where, on the twentieth of December, they partook of a chicken and waffle sup- per, tendered by the A. A. in recognition of the team’s good work. After everyone had gorged him- self, the team adjourned to the “anteroom” where everybody had a chance to exhibit his eloquence. “Ocky” Meeker, the football coach, acted as toastmaster, as Mr. Jones was unable to be present. After the impromptu speeches, Clarence Mahn, ’09, was elected captain for next year's team. Edward Brinker, Everett Crater, E. E. Burkhardt, and Geo. J. Richards were present and partook of the feast as guests of the A. A. Treasury. The following who played the necessary six halves, received the official “E.” Herbert Smith, Captain Howard Ballcntinc John Crater, Manager Daniel Blackburn Chester Murtaugh Frank Mclnerney Floyd Purdy William Scott Ralph Schilling William Zicgcnhorn Clarence Mahn Stewart Dcwson Fred McElroy Fred Vreeland On New Vears Eve, Dec. 31, a dance was given in Heptasoph Hall to the football team by the Seniors. The majority of the team were there and everybody enjoyed himself to the utmost. � •1 McKinley’s Birthday On January 29th, every member of the school showed his appreciation of one of our most revered Presidents by wearing his favorite flower, a pink carnation, to commemorate the day of his birth. It is to the school’s credit that they wear this appropriate token in honor of one of our first National Men. Historical Essay Reading On February twenty-first a large audience in the auditorium of the Easton High School listened attentively to the reading of the six best Historical Essays of the Senior Class. The annual prizes were offered by the George Taylor Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A delegation of the faculty judged the six best es- says to be as follows: “Alexander Hamilton as a Statesman,” by Lucy E. Jennings. “Nathan Hale,” by Sara Fuller. “The Battle of Shiloh,” by Theodocia Walton. “Nathan Hale,” by Charles E. Straub. “Alexander Hamilton, the Treasury and the Debt,” by Elwood S. Brinker. “Daniel Webster, the Orator,” by Stanley Muthart; read by Thomas K. Connell. The judges, Dr. J. W. Tupper, Dr. John W. Mecklin, Rev. John C. Seegers, awarded the first prize to Lucy E. Jennings. The second prize was awarded to Elwood S. Brinker. loath Day A small audience was present at the exercises held on Friday, March the eighth by the Senior Class. But those present expressed their opinion that it excelled any other held in former years. The members of the class who were elected to entertain did themselves credit and had there been a larger audience to appreciate their efforts it would have outranked, in all respects, anything of the kind ever held by any graduating class. 115 n Bazaar, April 11, 1908. On Saturday, May 11, the “uudergrads” of the Easton High School held one of the most important events of the year, both socially and financially; socially because the members of the school met one another and became better acquainted and financially because without the funds which this event supplies, it would be impossible for the A. A. to back up our athletics. Possibly the results of the Bazaar would have been far greater had it been held on the appointed day but owing to an unavoidable obstacle it had to be postponed two weeks. This undertaking had a worthy predecessor in SCREAMI.AND and it took a great amount of ingenuity to meet last year's standard owing to the financial stringency which extended throughout the whole country at the time. Without the assistance of the students, the alumni and the many people who are interested in the Easton High School, this venture would have been a pronounced failure. Let us hope that as the years pass by this interest will not abate but steadily increase to the further success of the “BAZAAR. The Hague Peace Day On the afternoon of the eighteenth of May the students and faculty of the High School listened to a highly polished and instructive oration delivered by Dr. Warfield of Lafayette College. The lecture was the first of its kind ever delivered to the school, marking the first conference of all the powers of the world to establish peace and good will between all men. 116 ARBOR DAY EXERCISES UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHT FRIDAY.

These dear old walls among, Until lessened by steady toil, We number but six and fifty strong. Long years ago we were Kreshmen, We knew it all, as is always the rule, But soon we found out that we were Infants and not adults in our school. With steady zeal (?) each honest Senior bluffed His way o'er lessons—hard and dry— And now. after graduation, they’ll all go out To bluff the world—and live—they’ll try. Now our time is up, the die is east, We’re left loose, to come, to go, to roam— Oh ! the joy to be free at last And be able to go out or stay at home. One year passed—the green wore off And we woke up as Sophomores! We started in on Vresides to get e'en And pay off our last year’s scores Still another year rolled by Juniors were we then, And against all dire faculty threats We began to raise particular “hen. But settling down to steady work, We climbed up higher still. We passed right thru our Senior year. Closer and closer to graduation, with a will. But, now, my friends, there are some things That more or less, we all shall miss— And if they were put in a string They would read something like this— Our attempts to be great orators Our trials and tribulations In every dog-gone suffocating room In which we had our recitations. The sarcastic thrusts by Mr. Simpson The “Twenty off’s’’ in Room E, The “Quiet please’’ bellowed in Room L, And those stale stories in Room D. 12 127 Those good old marches for dismissal When we would skip from E to A And hear the tyrant bang the bell And cry ““Stop right there you take a day. Those moral lectures in Room H, Those foolish “ Mark you down in Room F, Those nonsense gabbles in Room B, And purity talks in Room S. Our rising early in the morning, Our running down the laue. Our dunking in our recitations, Our being cut for raising cain.” Our reporting to the principal, Our picking paper from the door, Our getting out and out suspended For meandering outside the door. Our poling rules for final syllables, Our cribbing logarithms, Our writing crazy historical essays, And studying author's “livings.” Our getting cuts in conduct. Our being made to think, Our travelling down the aisle To take a good cool (?) drink. The “ Busy Bee of Banitor Barron, The complaining voice of Yanitor Yonson, Both these, too, must be counted in, For without them, we will be lonesome. All these things and many more We shall surely miss—more or less, But let’s try to kill such memories, And strive only for grand success. Great Championship Contest Innes and Carey Battle Jix Terrific Rounds For Honors! jj.'VST night, at the Inter City Hen Coop Athletic Club, the greatest fistic event in years was pulled off. The principals were Shrimp Carey and Nervy Innes. The arena was packed with an expectant crowd and betting ran high in favor of Innes, odds—6 to 1 — '3 Carey was the first to put in appearance. He was greeted with a great burst of cheering as he crawled thru the ropes and approached his corner. His trainer Francis Tod accompanied him. Carey was no sooner settled in his corner when another deafening roar shook the plaster as Innes pole vaulted the 3 ft. ropes. Everyone immediately began comparing the two. Innes was in perfect health and activity. Ilis medals being tastily displayed and his head looking unusually large. He looked so strong and heavy that betting immediately soared to greater odds— money bringing in the neighborhood of 3 to 4. Carey all this while had remained seated with bis bathrobe enveloping him, but now he rose and majestically threw off this encumbrance and stood up for the appraisement he felt sure was coming. It came, admiration knew no bounds. Carey's usually thin limbs were trained down to needle thickness and looked as soft and flabby and weak as a mosquito's. The men were fitted for gloves and returned to their corners to await the gong. Just before the fight commenced—Doggy Straub was introduced as a coming “pouncer” and challenged the winner. The fight by rounds. — Round i.—At the sound of the gong Carey waltzed to the middle of the ring to the tune of “The Merry Widow and waited for Innes who immediately made a high jump from his stool against Carey. Carey nimbly sidestepped and as Innes flew by, struck him a sharp blow in the diaphragm with his left. Enraged Innes charged again and jabbed him with his right. Shrimp then countered and had a lively sprint around the ropes for too yds., doing it in 10 sec., flat—with Innes a close second—late by 1 5. The gong sounded just as Carey crossed his corner amid deafening applause from the crowd. It was plainly Carey's round. Round 2,--Carey was upon Innes before Nervy was half out his chair, landingtwin blows cleverly and with telling force, on Innes' wooden jaw. The crowd howled and howled still again when they saw Innes floored by Carey’s right to his eye. Nervy's eye was badly cut and blood flowed fast, thus blinding limes' eye and giving Shrimp the advantage. By clever footwork and fast chin music, Carey scon had Ituies hanging on the ropes, and was just going to put the finishing touches on when the gong saved Nervy. Carey’s round. 129 Round 3. -Innes was still weak but came back fairly strong, landing on Carey with right and left with telling force. He broke 2 of Shrimp,s ribs and knocked off an ear but Carey fought gamely back and succeeded in staying the round. Innes’ round. Roi n'd 4.—Carey’s trainer blew expletives in Shrimp’s ear and thus urged, Carey came back very lively, in the fourth. He worried Innes with fast foot work and short jabs to his sore eye and had Nervy almost gone several times, but Innes saved himself by desperately clinching whenever opportunity offered. Only twelve blows were landed this round—eleven on lanes’ eye and one on Carey's left eye tooth. Innes’ second was about to throw up the sponge when the gong sounded and prevented him. This is Carey's round. Between rounds 4 and 5 Innes is being bathed in Hair Dye by his seconds and appears to be getting stronger. Carey is being rubbed down by Tod who is issuing Special copies of expletives to suit the case. Round 5.—Carey ir nervous—Innes confident, Inncs lands on Carey with his right and Carey disappears through a ventilator in the ceiling. Half hour later he was brought in again— having been picked up 4 miles away—and continued the fight. Innes had Shrimp’s nerve completely and landed almost nt will. The gong saved Carey again. Innes' round. Round 6. Inncs is on top of Shrimp and lands two hard blows on Carey’s typewriter cheek. Shrimp at once ducks and trys his sprinting stunt again but gets winded and heaves to just as Innes catches him behind his ear and sends him to the floor. Carey takes a count of nine and gets weakly to his feet—clinches and vainly stri%-es to ward off Nervy’s vicious attacks. Amidst a whirlwind of flying fistsand feet the gong sounds and ends the fight—Innes' round. Summary of Rounds Won by Inncs------3 “ “ Shrimp----3 Decision of Referee Sing Sing Sid”—“The fight am a draw,” was received with great enthusiasm and the crowd dispersed and the championship honors are as yet unclaimed. 30 Che Intellectual parasite NO. XVII + VI PUBLISHED DURING FULL MOON CIRCULATION ±, LATEST NEWS FROM THE FRONT! AMERICANS HOLD THEIR OWN IN A TERRIFIC BATTLE AT BED BUG CREEK Gen. Innes Displayed Wonderful Capacity and Assisted by Admiral Deichman Succeeded in Holding the Enemy in Check At present all is quiet along the Potomac, but yesterday a terrific battle was fought in the vicinity of Bed Bug Creek. The Japa- nese troops were commanded by General Ju Jitsu, while the American cause was ably upheld by General James Innes of the Old Ladies Home Brigade. The reckless bravery of both armies was a spectacle and the battle was one of the most hotly contested of the whole war. It was at break of day that our picket line was attacked and Captain Marjorie Buck- ley’s tappers were forced todiscontinuc their work on the outer fortifications and flee for safety (pins). Our officers with their usual precaution had the American forces well under cover, and the Jap pickets and recon- noitcring parties had well nigh overlooked them when B. B. Barron's spriglct was sighted amidships. The alarm was instantly given and the battle commenced. General Innes charged at the head of the Old Ladies’ Home Company, after firing a volley of false teeth they fell back into their former position. Their losses were enor- mous. Their casualties totalled seven hair switches and four bustles. General Innes’ good horse Ix bby was disabled and he was clapped over the eye with a stale piece of dead cheese but continued at the head of his troops. Captain Charley Brinker— now known as Fighting Tod’’ on account of his expletive ability—lead a brilliant artillery assault and threw several volleys of bad un- desirable English into their foes and effec- tually covered the O. L. H. C’s. retreat. At this critical juncture Colonel Clifford Carey rode up at the head of his dragoons. He gallantly drove back the enemy firing enormous volleys of bum jokes and stale humor into their ranks. Carey was shot in his inside coat pocket but was able to con- tinue the battle. - Captain Straub’s battery of surliness and sourlooks was spiked in the diaphram and withdrew to the rear. Admiral Deichman. who was at a l’ig Iron ball, at Skunkhollow some thirty feet from the engagement, heard the rapid fire guns and immediately sailed up the Bed Bug Creek with several large pie-pans and dis- charged a volley of pretzels at the enemy. Under this protection, Brigadier General Elwood Brinkcr’s cavalry was landed. 131 THE INTELLECTUAL PARASITE Drinker immediately ordered a charge of his superbly mounted Latin and Greek divis- ions. Crying the rules for final syllables and armed with a text edition of VergilS Mustar l War, he attacked.

Crater’s company of Little Lord I'auntleroys armed with stinkliombs—covered the retreat of the remnant. Miss Sara Fuller of the Horse- pistol Corps was mortally wounded by a passage of Macbeth's soliloquy. She was carried from the field on an abridged edition of Furness' Variorum. The American troops had for a long time attempted to dislodge the enemy from a strategic position at the foot of Hoodoo Hill, and now hit upon a novel expedient. Seiz- ing private Herbert Eichlin they stuffed one big toe in each ear, jammed his elbows into his vest pockets and rolled him down the hill. This was an admirable ram and the Japs now stick closer to the earth than the proverbial pan cake. Several thousand of the enemy became lost in Yanitor Yonson’s dense facial foliage, 1 (when that brave individual attempted to crawl in under a burnt peanut shell in order to escape the encmj’s breath), and were unable to extricate themselves- General limes added more laurels to his crown by disguising himself as a wooden Indian and slipping through the enemy’s lines. This perilous undertaking was re- fused by the entire army and General Innes made a great hit by his exhibition of nerve. He reported their casualties to be enormous and said that they were in no condition to resist a siege, as they lacked food —each man being supplied with nothing but a canned cockroach and a bottle of Lydia Pinkham’s Celery Compound. LOCALS. Four members of the Easton High School, Drooks Klcbcr. Thomas Connell, Ellwood Drinker and John Crater are at present lan- guishing in the county jail while the police investigate the horrible murder of old far- mer Slow.

POLICE ITEMS Unknown characters enter High School Duilding and commit numerous depreda- tions. Arrests expected. Last night as Dan Johnson and Harry Bar- ron, the zealous guardians of the Easton High School, peacefully rode astride of the night- mare they were suddenly awakened by an unexpected clangor. Ding ! Dong! Ding ! Dong! Yes! it was the bell of the High School building disturbing the incident ether waves- also the sleep of many aggravated inhabitants of Second Street and Chester Murtaugh, who was later held as an import- ant witness. Hastily slipping into a pair of bureau drawers Barron rushed to investigate (Johnson had already left attired in a Merry Widow hat and a pait of overalls,) When they arrived, the janitors state that five fleet- ing forms were disappearing in the distance. Pursuit was useless, but the culprits were identified and tomorrow will be hailed be- fore the Mayor on a charge of thirty cents apiece. Richards intends to furnish bail to the full amount.

Being the Certified Correspondence Between a Certain Senior of the Easton High School and His Immediate Male Projcnitor. Easton, Pa., Sept. 5, 1907. Dkar Fatiibr : I hit this burg at 6.30 this a. in., and after dusting my brains with a patent straw in a chocolate ice cream soda delicately applied, I beat it to the boarding house you had en- gaged for me in Easton. Maybe I didn't make the big splash when I lay to on the starboard of the breakfast table. I was the fireworks and had the matron of the domi- cile frazzled forty distinct ways. She knew I was style I could tell that by the way she anchored me in an eight per cell and only whispered a charge of five stingarees. I tell you, pop, you can’t beat the Dutch, and all the boarders douse their lamps and take notice when I sidle into lunch. Before I went to school 1 cut morning session, that’s style with the Seniors I «Hatched quarters with the guy at the Or- pheum. Quite condescending of him—but he knows style when he sees it. I inherit all the sporting tendencies of the family and comb my hair ala Fred Vrccland, the expon- ent of the masculine merry widow pompa- dour. Well this duck macerated my pocket- book to the extent of 2.25 but he offered to advance me two bones if the shoe pinched. I told him I was too beastly well connected for such actions and lie didn’t insist. Well I’m going to school now and will finish this when I come back. I’m going to scorch a few and somebody’ll have their hair curled when I’m through. (Later 5.45). Just came back from school, and say may- be I ain’t the big toad in the puddle. I’m subscription manager of the Junto and manager of the Basket Ball Team. Oh ! you hear me studder, dad. All the fellows were glad to sec me and handed the slushy paw. Maybe the girls didn’t crack their physiog- nomies when I swooped into recitation. They looked so delighted you’d thought they just bit on a stick of dynamite. One little peach I got my eyes ion she’s a bru- nette. Oh, slush, pa ! My head goes like a pinwhccl every time I cancel goo goos with her. Why I know so many girls here in town it just keeps me on the job dofling my sky piece. Well, good bye, pa, and keep your eyes glued on the Easton papers for sensational news of your son. Stanley. P. S.—That duck who beat me out of two dollars only ushers at the Orpheum ; but he talks as though he owns the place. Reading, Sept. 12, 1907. Dkar Son : I received a lot of words from you in an envelope on the fifth but couldn’t connect with your line of talk. There was only one sensible thing about the letter—the stamp, and that was cancelled. Now, my boy, heed my advice ; don’t try to give an imitation of the mint. This is the first time you have been thrown on your own resources and I expect you to do the family proud, and don’t get fresh with any bru- nettes. I hear of a fellow named Murtuugh who did, and now the birds are eating out of his socks. Study more and keep away from the footlights. Your loving Dad. Easton, Pa., November 15, 1907. Dear Pop:- Rec’d your letter way back in the golden sunset season—and you are right. I’m go- ing to leave brunettes alone. Common col- ored queens are good enough for Stanley. There’s a siz .ler in my class I am prospect- ing with and I guess I’ll board on 3rd Street from now on. Don’t tell ina but I may get married sometime sooner or quicker. Well I’m head cheese in this putty factory you can bet a tonsil on that. I only spent twenty dollars as manager of the Easton High School Basket Ball Team, You see Purdy, the A. A. treasurer just got 34 THE INTELLECTUAL PARASITE a new suit, consequently said organization is bankrupt. But I’m your kind. Dad. Some fellows here like Carey, Straub, Rice, Schil- ling, etc., arc so tight they hold water, but the wind blows right through me. They call me Stanley the Soda Sampler because I punish so much soda water. But I made a hit with the feminine fantasies that way. I borrow a nickel from Dan Black- burn and go up and get a phosphate at Nickle's, and all the girls see me and think I’m swell. That’s the way to butt into society, ain’t it Pop? I bowled with ‘Apple’ Crater, the London Johnny of the school, and lost ninety cents. But Johnny says I’ll soon learn for I got the ear marks of a comer. He says as long as I'm willing to pay twenty-five cents a game I’ll always get good bowlers to play with. Gee ! but its great to be popular. Billy Jones, the Big Brass Band here at school, says I ain’t studying. Now. pa, you write and tell him I am, for I went to see Herbies sister on Sunday, and as an excuse I wrote Herb’s English theme. That shows I’m working. Maybe I ain't the big tree in the woods. I sure am in the spot light. I’m Christmas Orator, and I got it fixed up with Ev. Crater to make some dust. I’m going to buy cheap stuff and then Iiv’s. going to set me up to dog biscuits. Well, love to all the folks. Stanley. Reading, December 27, 1907. Dhar Son Stanley : What are you my boy a freight engine? Running around Easton being the big smoke and big noise is alright when you’re built on wheels and stay on a track, but it’s a mighty poor thing for a school boy. I didn’t send you to Easton to teach you any- thing but the requisites of the commercial course. Mr. Jones, your Principal, writes and tells me that you study about as much as Jim Innes—and don’t look as wise. Now get a line on yourself, smell an onion and come in out of the fog. And if you can't sit in Nickle's without flirting with all the girls get a pair of blinders and place them where they'll do the most good. And as to getting married—where arc your brains? Your Father. February 12, 190$ Drar Pop:— Do you pipe me, dad? Get a line on your star Basketball player. I am learning fine at E. H. S. and next year, perhaps, lean get a good position playing basketball. Those Historical essays, oh Cinnamon cakes! I was there like a thirsty cat at a saucer of milk— but didn’t get the prize. Sec, dad, they’re envious of me here. I’m the only piece of statuary in the machine shops. I’m getting in with the women too ! oh ain’t I devilish ? Yes, dad, I’m going to cut out being a sport. Richer a friend of mine is cutting it out too, because the Junto is bankrupt. But after the Bazaar he says lie’s going to paddle some. Well I guess I’ll stop—good night. Stanley. Reading, April 1, 190S. Drar Stanley:— I’m still waiting for the report card you said you'd send me. That envelope you sent last week contained some stuff like this: Two coupons for the Orpheum, two coupon seats for Richard Carle. One piece of poetry from the “Ladies Monthly cn titled Sweetest Adcle”, 011c cigar band, on ice cream check, and a verse of poetry D rose is red, de violets blue; I haf left und s are you.” If I thought you wrote that, Stan ley, I'd come down to Easton and give you strap oil on the seat of your trousers. Don't you write me any more rot but send me a report of your studies or come home the last week in April and hold a reunion with your father in the woodshed.

Wark— A child of our grandmother Eve, a female; or for thy more sweet understanding, a woman. ISABKM.A Y. WKRKKKISKR I love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise and good. Editu H. Wiu.iams— She seems a saint, but always plays the devil. I'r.ORKNCK L. Woodring— She’s beautiful and therefore to be wooed ; She is a woman, therefore to be won.” Marik B. Yahraes— They mocked thee for too much curiosity.” Emii.y G. Young— Mirth is the sweet wine of human life.” Ruth E. Zuck— How fluent nonsense trickles off her tongue.” 45 The play is done,—the curtain drops, Slowly falling to the prompter's bell ; A moment yet the actor stoops, And looks around, to say farewell. Come wealth or want, come good or ill, Let young and old accept their part, And bow before the awful will, And bear it with an honest heart. 146 We Can Furnish Your Home Complete m You can come here and find everything necessary in a well- furnished home Carpets Rugs Mattings Linoleums Curtains Window Shades Furniture Brass Beds Bedding of all kinds China Lamps Kitchen Furnishings Bath Room Furnishings Laundry Furnishings and the thousand and one things needed to furnish a home complete We can F urnish the Outfit for Man Woman or Child for all Occasions i ® L I Tohe Week Day Clothes Tohe Sunday Clothes Tohe Wedding Clothes Tohe Commencement Clothes Tohe College Clothes Tohe School Boy Clothes To he School Girl Clothes To he Base Ball Clothes To he Foot Ball Clothes To he Good Wearing Clothes T5he Good Fitting Clothes Every- thing For Every- body ILastons .
