The Bazaar The Fourth Annual Bazaar of the school was held on March 19. and what a success it was! I'nrivalcd by any of the preceding, yielding a profit of $262.55, remarkable! This success was due mainly to the efforts of our able manager, Fred Me Elroy. but the spirit of the school in general was to l e admired. The greatest interest was shown by all and the great crowd of Alumni and friends that attended were well rewarded for their visit. Historical Essays As usual the Seniors competed in an Historical Essay Contest for two prizes offered by the George Taylor Chapter of the H. A. R. The faculty judges, who chose the best six essays from the contesting number, were Messrs. Mcllhaney, I'hler and Mitman. These worthy judges decided upon Misses R. Edna Godley, Beatrice Emory, Emily Young, Florence YYoodring. Myrtle Ackerman and Mr. Russell K. Laros as the successful contestants in the pre- liminaries. After the essays had bec-11 in the hands of the judges. Dr. 15. Rush Field, Mr. H. D. Maxwell and Mr. Magee, the contest was held on the afternoon of May 13, at 3 o'clock. The essays were all very fine, and as Dr. Field said in rendering the decision of the judges: Although they all were excellent and there was little to choose between them, yet there is always one just a shade better than the rest. This one was Miss Emory's, for which she received first prize. The second prize was awarded to Mr. Laros, probably out of sympathy, since he was the only young man in the contest. Peace Day On the morning of May 18. Peace Day, Rev. Ford of the Second Street Methodist Church, gave the school a very fine address on the appropriate topic. His talk was illuminated by many brilliant figures, which aided in preserving interest and attention. We all profited greatly by his ideas and suggestions and the school as a whole thanked him heartily for the benefit derived from his address on The Hague Peace Conference. 23

young men who would not tremble if they were told with thundering voice: You are the biggest bunch of liars ever entered High School. Arbor Day A great and portentous event took place on the twenty-third of April in the year Nineteen Hundred and Nine. The Class of Nineteen Ten made a most auspicious debut into the world of entertainers. The subjects on Arbor Day, though usually considered somewhat dull, were brightened beyond expectations, and an instructive as well as entertaining program was rendered very successfully by the new members of the oratorical circle. The affair was voted a success by all who attended, and everyone went away well pleased with the entertainment afforded them. Easton High School Football Teams Annual Banquet The sixth annual football banquet of the Easton High School Athletic Association was held at the Franklin House December 8. It was the most successful banquet in the annals of the school. Mr. Jones held the chair as toastmaster and took his part well. After Mr. Jones’ opening speech Coach Gross gave a toast to Our Success. Others responded with toasts also, among them Oscar Meeker, on “Athletics in General.” After the toasts the coveted “E” was awarded by Fred McElroy, manager of the team, to the following men: Balcntinc. Blackburn, Folkcnson, Shawde. Giberson, Genthcr, Dutt, Larkin, Strausburg, Stone, Dewson, Freeman. McElroy. Following the awarding of the “E’s” the election of captain for next year took place. Daniel Blackburn, the star fullback of the past season, was unanimously elected. I 10th Day On March 4. 1910. the Senior Class entertained the school and its friends with the Hundred and Tenth Day exercises. The affair was entirely successful and many capable judges voted it the best program ever rendered in the school by a Senior Class. A noted event happened, the first, but nevertheless gratifying. ap| earance of the Glee Club arid Glee Club Quartet. All the musical organizations of the school contributed to the entertainment and their efforts were received with resounding applause. Of the speakers, every one distinguished him or herself and no complaints were heard that the exercises were dry. Every moment was taken up by something lively and en- tertaining, such as these rushing times demand. It was the last, but certainly not the least, auspicious appearance of the Seniors on the platform in the Anditorium of E. H. S. 22
