Bakkon Harry has long been a permanent fixture in Eas- ton High School. He is known especially among teachers and students alike as a great wit, ami he certainly enjoys his witticisms himself. It is very unfortunate that our school was without Mr. Barron's services at intervals during the past school year. Possessed of a very pleasing disposition, with a kind word and a hearty laugh, Harry will always lie remembered by 1917. He has the good wishes of the Class for the future. Charles W. Cyphers Charley succeeded to the janitorship upon the death of John But . With his sunny disposition, his many pleasant remarks, ami other kind traits toward the students in general, he has endeared him- self to everyone of the student body of Easton High School. We will say for Charles that he is a very excellent disciplinarian, ami his words arc weighted with as much sincerity as any member of the faculty. It is hoped that Mr. Cyphers will be at the helm for many years to come in order to guide the entering Freshmen into the deep realms of seniority. Good luck, Charley. John Gomrinckr Mr. Goniringcr took Mr. Barron's place during his absence. John is a droll character which goes to make him a unique personage in Easton High School. He has gone about his work with a will that has made him especially well liked by all with whom he came into contact. He has the good wishes of the Class. is

The Alumni Association g =5SBSHE term in the history of the Easton High School Alumni Association, extending from the 23rd of June, Imjli 1916, to May 4, 1917, is filled with a number of interesting events. Each calls to mind the activity of IlSy-JI the organization. It was on the evening of the first mentioned date that the Annual Alumni Assembly was held at Island Park, amid surroundings that again made this one of the events of Easton's social season. The success of the Alumni Assembly is yearly due to the efforts of the Social Committee, of which Miss Mary A. Miller, 190S, was Chairman. So well had she performed the duties of the office that Miss Miller was again, for the 1917 Assembly, asked to take charge of this committee. We hesitate somewhat, however, when we refer to the attendance at the June Assembly and a certain lack of interest in the event, as evinced by graduates of our school. Not quite 200 graduates of Easton High School last June attended the Annual Assembly. With this thought in mind, the present officers of the Association arc endeavoring to revive interest in this event, as well as in the organization. At this writing we cannot say how successful the plans will be or whether they will feel the effects of war’s presence. Reunions were held by the Classes of 1895 with 22 present; 1910 with 24, and 1912 with 30 members. In September last, alumni of the school and enterprising citizens of Easton joined in a campaign to secure a pub- lic park and a High School athletic field for the school district. The endeavors to raise a certain amount were not realized, but enough was secured to insure at no late date such a site, which will be located on I ichenour Heights, and bear the name of Cottingham Park. Henry G. Siegfried was chairman of the movement, and John S. Correll, ’99, was secretary. II. O. Meeker, ’93, since the park site has been given into the care of the school district, has been made secretary of the governing board. The Alumni Association contributed $250 toward the park fund. On the evening of March 9, 1917, the Annual Alumni Association election was held, at which time officers, as designated on the accompanying page, were elected. A certain lack of interest is noticeable here also, for three meet- ings were called before a sufficient number responded so that the Association could do business. This is in need of correction. But we must not forget to give credit to those who responded to the call on this evening, a very dis- agreeable evening, when a quorum was mustered and officers elected for the next year. 16
