The Easton High School Alumni Association HE history of the Easton High School Alumni Association, during the year that has passed, is written bold in letters of patriotism. In its years of activity its members have for the first time experienced the thrill of love of country, the call of duty, when the home ties have been broken and its young men have an- swered the highest of calls, that the world may be preserved in its purity, when liberty and human- ity shall forever be made the permanent abiding place here on earth. Its young men have freely and willingly responded to the call to wear the Nation’s uniforms, to carry the Nation’s sword and enter the battle line, flying at the head the Stars and Stripes. Its young women have, as loyally, left their homes in Easton and entered Govern- ment service, where their names arc enrolled with those workers who will make for a more glorious morrow than the world has yet known. Briefly, let us say that this call has taken from the Alumni Association numbers of active workers whose places have not been filled. For where volunteers arc few, there the work of an organization remains a legacy from those who have entered other fields of service. Still we can report that the annual June assembly occurred on scheduled time, and as always in the past, was a most enjoyable event. In addition, the Association held a Thanksgiving assem- bly on the evening of November 30, 1917, which a wretched weather did its best but could not mar, except in at- tendance. The annual election of officers was held on March 6, 191S, when the following officers were elected: Pres- ident, John S. Correll, ’99; Vice-Presidents, Miss Mary A. Miller, ’oS; Lester P. Heck, '15; Secretary and Treas- urer, Ralph H. Johnson, ’12; Assistant Secretaries, J. Oscar Wolslaycr. ’16; Mrs. Ruth Richards Johnson, ’15; Trus- tees, H. O. Meeker, ’93, and Dr. F. C. Sandt, ’99. The chairmen of the Alumni Committees are: Employment, C. 4 The Easton High School Alumni Association (Continued) O. Mal n, ’09; Personal Solicitation, Walter A. Krantz, ’17; Social, Miss Helen Kauffman, ’12; Athletic, Russell Schoolcy, ’16; Membership, Spencer Allen, ’15. On the evening of March 23, 1918 the Association arranged a successful athletic and social event, when boys’ and girls’ alumni teams contested in basketball games on the March floor. Some work has been done gathering an honor list of graduates who have entered Government service. But this has not at this time been completed. We hope to soon begin work on the forthcoming June assembly. Senior Class History gO fittingly portray the achievements of the Class of 1918 would call for the pen of a Plato, Tacitus or a Herodotus. The Class of 1918 was organized in September, 1914, when its members entered the doors of Easton High. Yes, we were a very green and pitiful lot. This greenness and pitifulness did not last long, how- ever. This was shown by a number of our members who were put on football, boys’ and girls’ basket- ball, baseball, and track teams; to say nothing of our musical members and of our literary and debating societies. We started our second year by electing our first class officers. During this year we were successful in every- thing wc attempted; namely, in athletics and in music. To these the girls added our highly successful play, The Lady of the Lake. The Junior year of this class was one which will never be forgotten. The occurrences which made this such a memorable year arc: the Junior-Senior Reception, the Junior Hop, our representation on the athletic� side and on the musical side, and last but not least, the time we bade farewell to some of our classmates who have answered their country’s call. Our Senior year was an eventful one. Wc had a successful season in athletics, after which came the debate, then the election of the Rechauffe staff. The Senior Play and the Senior trip followed. Last of all came the Com- mencement. All these were decided successes. Thus you will see that wc have been successful during all four years of our High School life. Now when the members of this class are about to separate, some to go to higher institutions of learning, others to seek a living in the world, let us one and all vow to remember our days in Easton High and to keep loyal to our Alma Mater.

Immediately on settling down we started to make a name for ourselves. In the annual Freshmen-Sophomore contest, with the football game, track events for the boys, and the tug-o’-war for the girls, we were defeated, but little wonder and less surprise. We made a good fight for it but the Sophomores were too heavy and experienced for us. But their girls couldn’t do a thing against ours, who just walked right away with the tug-o’-war. The final score was 55-45, in favor of the Sophs, but has there ever been a similar contest in which the Freshmen did not almost invariably turn out the runner-up? We were represented on both the Varsity and Scrub football teams, and later on in the season we stood well in basketball. Our girls won the inter-class cup from “last year’s.” By the time the mid-year exams came along, there were 261 of us and we passed through them with a smaller aver- age of conditions than the wise Sophomores, or in fact than the whole school. We can lay claim to members of the second orchestra but besides that we have an orchestra ourselves. Of course, there are upper-classmen who feel it their bounden duty to heap ridicule upon it even though it has per- formed most satisfactorily. Nevertheless, we arc proud to say that it originated with our class. We have a glee club, too, of which, again, we have the distinction of being the originators. That’s history for a Freshman Class to be proud of, and to keep their reputation up, you will see the Class of 1921 fly through and come out with honors. Here’s good luck to Twenty-one. 35 Freshman Quotations Marion Adamson— I am wonderfully bright. (?)

R. Wolf R the first time in the history of our school we have a football team which has really won the State Cham- pionship. This is no doubt due to the efforts of Manager Wolslaycr, who succeeded in getting some of the fastest teams in this part of the country to battle with our warriors, and “Pat” Reilly, who deserves special credit for his work as coach. The two most important games of the season were with Harrisburg Tech, and Phillipsburg High. In the for- mer game Easton High won fame by defeating the team that claimed the 1916 championship. The score was 31-19. On Thanksgiving Day the Easton High School team met and conquered the strong Phillipsburg eleven. The de- feat handed to our rivals was 35-0, which was the largest score made in a decade between these two teams. The Class of 1918 wishes the best of success to the future football teams. 4 Football Team Top row—C. Wolslayer. Carter. Kr� � ler, Reilley, Shook, McGrath, Heorelmaa, Ubecka.

Every game but anc on the official schedule was played and won by E. H. S. Unfortunately the second game of the scries with the Moravian Parochial was lost on account of miserable misunderstandings between the two teams. A championship game was arranged for on a later date but failed to be played and Easton High now claims the championship of the Lehigh Valley, hav- ing lost only one game throughout the season. And now for some mention of the person who helped E. H. S. to carry on against her foes both far and near. Who could have handled such a pepful” team as hers but one—Coach Catherine Ashton, who is herself pep personified, mingled with an unmistakable faculty for engineering and leadership? It would be useless to consider the team in respect to its individual members for its one and only slogan must have been Team Work! Thus every effort to criticise individuals would be contrary to the team’s own wishes. Officers Katherine Ford, Captain Miss Ashton, Coach Edith Quiri, Manager Mr. C. .R.

This proved that the team would have a fast combination on the floor. Mr. Conahay, our physical director, took charge of the team following the Phillipsburg game and dc serves credit from the school. The-success of the season’s work is shown by the fact that our team won seven games and lost but five. SUMMARY Jan. I—E. H. S ..... 20 Alumni 21 Jan. 5—E. H. S 23 Moravian Prep. .. 28 Jan. 12—E. II.

M., it appeared for a time that it could not take part in the inter-class basketball championship of igiy-’iS. However, trust the Froshies to find a way. They not only found a team, but practiced under the leadership of Miss Miller, before school, and produced the champion class team of the school. It seems to be a failing of Freshman classes to win the inter-class championship as this is the second one in suc- cession that has trotted off with the cup. In commendation of the upper-class teams, it might be just to mention the fact that numerous former members of the teams were this year playing with the Varsity and, therefore, necessarily kept from playing in class games. However, we arc all good losers and we congratulate ye goodc oldc Freshman class. Boys’ Inter-Class Basketball NTER-CLASS basketball was a decided success this year. More people turned out to sec the games this year than in any previous one. It furthermore proved its value by developing some excellent material for the Varsity team. The Seniors triumphed again and thereby gained possession of the cup awarded by the Free Fress two years ago, which is in the trophy case. This makes the second consecutive year ,t has gone to the Class of 1918. 5 49 Baseball ALTHOUGH greatly handicapped by the lack of a coach, the baseball squad made remarkable progress under the careful direction of Captain Shook. The wet weather during the early part of April caused three games to be cancelled. This, however, only strengthened the team for the remainder of the season. The first game resulted in a 15 to 3 victory over Allentown High School. It was in this game that the team lost'the most valuable services of Joe Lehccka, who sustained a broken ankle. .We also de- feated Reading but had to bow to the fast Bordentown Military team. The remainder of the season promises to be a most successful one, and the team is confident that the results of every game will be a victory for high school. OFFICERS Captain.............

Without its help, our athletic teams, our orchestra, and our glee club would be less efficient and not so well equipped as they arc, for its financial aid has been of the greatest importance to these organizations. Another thing which the Association has done for the school this year was to make up a program ever)' Wednesday morning and have it presented in the main room. This plan has afforded a great deal of pleasure to the student body, and the officers of the Association arc to be commended for their excellent work.

It has played at all the basketball games and dances where its services were indispensable. It also furnished the music for the Senior Play and made it more profitable and enjoyable. But besides being present at all the so- cial functions of the school, it has given a great deal of pleasure by taking part in the chapel exercises on several occasions. Its success is due largely to the untiring efforts of the director, Mr. M. Claude Rosen- berry, and to the co-operation and interest in the work which has been shown by each member.

The purpose of the members was to obtain knowledge from talks given by prominent business men of Easton and nearby places. The work throughout has been interesting and instructive. Every second Thursday evening pro- grams were arranged and given. On one of these occasions, George Laubach of the firm of Wm. Lau- bach Sons, gave an interesting talk on the general method of conducting business in his firm. Mr. Edward Mark- ley also gave a talk concerning his line of business. Their speeches, which impressed every member of the club, were greatly appreciated. This being the first year of organizing such a club, much credit is due to Mr. A. C. Ferry who aided the club in making it a success. It is hoped that the future classes will take advantage of the opportunity to build upon the good foundation laid by the classes of 1918 and 1919.

Debating Teams |EWARE of the Ides of March!” That is the slogan that every member of the Easton High School would have liked to hurl at Bethlehem and Allentown High Schools previous to the Triangle Debate held on March 15 in the re- spective towns, Easton, Bethlehem and Allentown. During the latter part of January the subject of argumentation was taken up extensively in the Aca- demic English divisions of the Senior class. Certain members of the Sophomore and Junior classes took part in the study of the subject and in the preliminary classroom debates. About the middle of February, after a full and complete study of the subject had been made, Mr. Clarence Wolf appointed sixteen students to pursue the subject further with him in preparation for the final debates. The subject, Resolved that: ARBITRATION BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY BY LAW OF CONGRESS (constitutionality conceded), was announced and the chosen few plunged into the preparation of material for the affirmative and negative arguments. The standard card system of preparation and refutation was used and daily meetings were held in which different phases of the question were discussed. Two weeks previous to March 15, a preliminary debate was held in the upper-class assembly. The negative side, upheld by Alberta Leidich, Pauline Laubach, Caroline Earquhar, and Joseph Carter, ’19, won the debate and was congratulated by the following good losers: Walter Hahn, Marion Wallace, Douglas Brown, and Katherine Ford. The same people were retained for the final debates, but their position of attack was reversed. Alberta Leidich, captain; Joseph Carter, Pauline Laubach, and Marion Wallace, alternate, upheld the affirmative side in Easton against Allentown High. Douglass Brown, captain; Katherine Ford, Walter Hahn, and Caroline Farquhar, alternate, defended the negative side of the question against our neighbors, Bethlehem High. It is hardly necessary to mention the fact, but for the benefit of a few sleepy ones, I will say that the honor of winning both debates falls to Easton High School, who with the indispensable aid of Mr. C. R. Wolf, has added two more trophies to her already large display. 7« In the Spring we heard a rumor And from someone came the tip. That the Board of Education Intended to cancel our trip. But the rumor was a false one. And, well, we might have thought. For through just such careless rumors, ■ We all sometimes arc caught. A meeting called one afternoon Disclosed the fact in full, That a Senior Trip to Washington Was quite impossible. At last a plan was hit upon. Believe me, 'twas a corker: For two whole days each Senior Would be a gay New Yorker. Fifty-four wise Seniors, Away from their studies torn, Gathered at the station On an early Friday morn. i Jr rip This croup it was a happy one, And long the)' had to wait. For soon it was discovered That the train was an hour late. At last wc left our old home town. Of our boys there weren't many, But all of them amused themselves By matching penny for penny. At the Jersey-City Station One group—they left us flat; And from the other ferry boat, Wc saw Miss Yotter lose her hat. Through Wall Street we were guided, And continuing on our lark, We passed by many a tall building, Until we finally reached Battery Park. On our trip around the island There were plenty of sights to see. While the lectures of Abie Silverstein Filled us all with glee. Our New York Trip—{Continued) After lunch (if I may call it that) We took a trip up-town, To see the wonders of the Museum, And to show the girls around. We all then had a bite to eat, And, feeling far from Bum.” We boarded a great big auto bus For a trip through the New York Slums. Through the Chinatown district We fifty-four Seniors flocked, On our visit to Little Hungary Mr. Davis was terribly shocked. On returning to our hostelry We were sent at once to sleep. For further information, Ask “Butch if he took a peep. The next day we visited West Point, And the trip was enjoyed by all. Just ask Shook or Bertie Roling If they saw Marion Workman fall. Fifty-four tired Seniors Riding on the train Sang their Alma Mater, Glad to get home again. To the several guides of the party We extend our appreciation Of their most untiring efforts For our joyous recreation. And when we leave dear Easton High, And the pleasant times recall, “The New York Trip, we all will say, Was the very best of all. John Bennett, '18.
