enior Class History — EX STEAD of being a task, the part that has fallen to my lot, gives me great pleasure, clue to the fact that this class has been particularly brilliant. It is true that many classes have had their mental heroes, but it has been years and possibly never since the origin of the Easton High School, that a class has approached so near the standard of perfection. It is only too evident that our career of four long years has passed, and yet it seems as it were but a dream. We can not flee from the sad fact that in a few more days, and after a few more valedictories, we part. We, who have passed these years joyfully together, must follow the inevit- able. our elected path. Some of us will go to higher institutions of learning, there to apply the knowledge so effectively received in our short sojourn in the “school on the hill. Others will go to brighten the home. While still others will enter life’s battle, ever struggling to advance a rung in the ladder of existence. But why this gloomy aspect? We will all have a pleasant remembrance of our High School life, not only in pictures. Juntos and Rechauffes, but deeply root- ed in the bottom of our hearts. Let us pass rapidly over the first year and a half of our course. During the latter part of the second year, we presented a beautiful bust of Jupiter to the school. Long after all thoughts of the class of 1909 have fled from the present classes, this, at least, will remind them of a Class whose example they would do well to imitate. During this time our athletes were training for their final and long-lookcd-for struggles in the events planned by our class alone. At the beginning of last year, we naturally looked forward to the foot-ball games. Here, Schilling. Mclnerncy. Malm and Scott were already being looked upon as marked examples. At our first class-meeting where the colors “Blue and Gold” were chosen! no real Seniors were seen, but many imaginary ones were discerned, to the sorrow of the eager ones. This is the year, when a class makes its debut. We made ours, on Arbor Day, in a brilliant manner. Every- thing passed off in the smoothest possible way. The speeches could hardly be criticised. It is indeed a proud fact to us that in our Junior year the captain of the basket-ball team was a member of our class. Of course I mean Mclnerncy. He was discernible everywhere on the floor and this assisted in the pro- to

ficicncy of the team. Stone, tho small, always played with credit This same year we possessed the captain of the base-ball team, Malm, whose fielding won fame for our class. Richards, always energetic, heaped on the laurels, while Stone, Schilling. Krantz and Mclnerney all played well. Manieri represented us on the track team and if he is persistent lie will surely develop into a second Dorando. Now the race is nearly run. We arc on the home stretch. Soon the events of this class will be recorded by some higher and more noted authority. How dignified, at least in the presence of under class men, a Senior appears. This is but natural. This year all occurrences added glory. As heretofore we participated in honoring the dead heroes of our country by wearing the carnation for McKinley and delivering orations on Lincoln, and were even more mindful of Washington. How often one might have heard at practice or at a confidential street gathering: If I could only play foot- ball like Schilling; “Nothing can stop ‘Mac;' ” or “No better tackle than Scott. Over the quarter-back no one need Malm, while the end was irresistible because it was led by a Stone.” To play the responsible positions our men did, required good men. Of course the usual foot-ball banquet and dance followed. Anyone who doubts L. Stone's ability to uphold the captaincy of the year’s basket-ball team should read the ac- counts of the Reading-Easton game. Mclncrncy’s skill at this game is very well known. It was mainly thru the efforts of the Seniors that a High School Orchestra was organized. At the first rehearsal, Herbert Eichlin was chosen leader, with Richard Cheesman manager. Altho this is a school organization, we ought to feel proud that it was begun in our Senior year, and by Seniors. It has shown up well on all occasions. We hope that it will remain permanent. One hundred and nine days ago we conducted exercises in the Auditorium which added honor to the class and her speakers. Again we turn our attention to athletics, for the track season is at hand. Even if there is a standing joke about Mang. Cheesman and his intended Marathons, this year’s team has been the best in years, due first to the energetic manager, and then to the enthusiasm of the squad. Who would have dreamed that Bixler and Magee could run so well. At any rate they have their cups to testify to their agility; There were six other classmen on the team, who did all in their jiowcr to make it a booming success. The bazaar this year was the “top-notchcr” of them all, especially from a financial basis. Manager Schilling was certainly the popular man with his fair assistants, even if it was only for a day. This social way of assisting the J!
