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.
