Senior High School Class History T HE class of 1928 spent only one year at the Wolf High School, and that was our Freshman Year, when we watched with awed and unaccus- tomed eyes, the antics and frolics of the upper classmen. However, at the be- ginning of our Sophomore Year, we entered the grand portals of the new Easton High School. This year we passed by en- deavoring to study amid the splendors of our gor- geous new building. In our Junior Year, the Student Council was started, and was support- ed by the Junior Class. Now at last, after four years of eventful high school life, we have reached the seemingly unattainable heights of being a senior. During this year there were numberless dances to break the monotony of too hard study. The whole Senior Class cooperated to make the Student Council a success. Now we arc about to graduate; for some it means the beginning of a new life in College; for others a new life in the working world, but whatever it is, we will all remember our happy carefree high school days.

ANDREWS “Win” “Winnie” Vice President French Club, Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Rechauffe, Class Basketball Washington University Brains, brains, and more brains!!! However, that docs not keep Winnie from having a good time which she enjoys to the 9th degree. She is one of our “all-around girls”. MER1UM BARRON “Bubbles” “Tricks” “Mim” Bubbles is a jolly school mate. Those that do not know her have missed something.

DOROTHY MAY ECKERT “Dot” “Dottie” Glee Club, Friendship Club, French Club Cornell A jollier girl with a better disposition could not be found. But, talk! She is a regular chatterbox! We always know when Dot is around, we can hear her! I 15] ISABELLE EPSTEIN “Is” Junto New England Conservatory ok Music Isabelle is just heaps of fun to be with.

HAHN “Grac” “Gracie” Trcas. Nat. Honor Society, Rechauffe, French Club Penn State Here is one of our brilliant students. She deserves much credit for her excellent work.

As center, she has helped us win many a basketball game. And can she act? Remember her many parts in plays. NORINK LOUISE JACOBSON “Nonnie “Non” Nonnic intends to follow a literary career and according to her standing in English, she will be a success. It seems everyone prefers blondes, especially Nonnic. ROSA GERTRUDE JOHNSTON “Rosie” “Gertie” “General” General Johnston is the Will Rogers of our Art class, but believe me, she knows her paint. M9] HELEN M. KANE St. Vincents Hospital Helen is red-headed. She’s going to be a nurse, and we are.sure she’ll prove to be a light in many lives.

Although she is small, her always welcome presence is known by her cheerful laughter. MATILDA ELIZABETH LUTZ “Tillie” Churchman’s Business College Does this girl burn midnight oil? We wonder. The outside world holds more attraction for Tillie, than the classroom. GEKEVRA C. McPEEK “Deed” “Speedie” Kutztown Normal Gencvra travelled every day from Ricgelsvillc for an education, which she takes seriously. With such a feminine course of studies, we wonder why she is so interested in electricity. (?) FRANCES CLAIRE MATTES “Fran” “Skippy” A very quiet and unassuming lass is Fran. For four years, we have tried to understand her ways, but Fran sticks to the old rule, Silence is Golden.” FREDA GAMSU MAYER “Fritz” Senior Play, Honor Society, Junto Wellslby Fritz is one of the small members of our class.

We hope that some day she will l e successful in her teaching, for her high school career has been a success. ANNA CLARA METTLER “Annie” “Flupfy” Glee Club, Commercial Dramatic Club Churchman’s Business College A girl of few words. She is very shy and modest, and just won’t dare cause a disturbance.

Irene has proven herself a very capable typist and we know success will be hers in the future. KATHRYN L. PHILLIPS “Kitty” Editor Rechauffe, Debating, Senior Play Gouciier College Few girls are so favored by the Gods as she, for our Kitty is clever and beautiful, a rare combination. But her charming manner and sweet disposition arc why we all love her. And what can’t she do?

But Gladys has other interests and is one of the greatest talkers of our class. EVELYN G. REICHARD “Skippy” “Pike” Jefferson Hospital Whenever you hear Skippy. the subject is usually the personal pro- noun, third person, singular number, masculine gender. We don’t believe studies bother Evelyn nearly as much as society life docs. 127| VERNA MAGDALENE REICHARD Glee Club Pratt Institute Verna the Senior, is quite different from “Jerry” the Freshman. But it was Easton then, and Scranton now. We have seen her only in the class-room, but realize there arc other things.

ROTHROCK French Club, Friendship Club Ix rctta, quiet and studious, shows a great inclination toward literary work. She will make an excellent school teacher. We wish you good luck. HELEN RUBY ROUND Hahxenan Hospital Helen is one of the few of us who takes life seriously, but appreciates a good joke, too. A nurse as cheerful and lovely as she, would make anyone sing, “1 don’t want to get well.” IDA RUBEN “Petey” “J” French Club, Glee Club State Teachers’ College Ida is one of the small members of the class of ’28, but makes up for it by possessing a great amount of ability. We hope the youngsters she expects to train, will not tower too high above her. RUTH S. RYMOND E. H. S.

We all like Pat and wish her lots of success, when she goes to Oganty. JOSEPHINE B. SINGLINGER “Jo” “Skiz” Commercial Dramatic Club, Glee Club (2), Operetta Here comes Jo with her usual gloom-dispersing smile. She possesses It” and that “It” is cheerfulness. HELEN G. STECKEL “Stek” “Larry” “Barn” Dramatic Club, Volley Ball Riders Business Collece Helen is one of the popular girls in high school. When we think of Helen we think of good looks, good-looking clothes, and loads of fun. MILDRED MAE STERNER Commercial Dramatic Club Bectyl’s Business College Goodbye, old saying, “You can’t have beauty and brains both,” because Mildred possesses both, and she has shown her dramatic ability in the play, “Standing, Moving.” (32) EDITH M. STORM “Pete” “Bobby Cheer-leading (2) Class Basketball (2) Orchestra Edith is one of our cheerleaders. You can see her love for sports. Pete also shows her liking for music as she will continue with it at the Boston Conservatory. MINNIE G.

May she ever attain her many friends, and be successful in whatever she attempts. JULIA HELEN TAKACS “Judy Commercial Dramatic Club Good goods can come from small places. Judy proves it. And can she do bookkeeping? She sets a goal in this for the rest of us to attain. [33J ALICE V. THATCHER “Al” Alice is in Easton High School, which is, to us, a wonderland. Alice is usually quiet, and unlike many of us, when she speaks, she says some- thing. GRACE E.

We shall remember Grace for her unassuming manner, and lovely ways. HELEN E. TRANSUE “Mousie” Capt. Basketball, 26-27, Leaders Club, Comm. Dramatic Club One of Easton’s star basketball players.

YEISLEY “Ruth i e” “Rufus” Glee Club (4) Operetta (3) Comm.

HELEN Z. YERMAN Varsity Basketball (3) Stroudsburg Normal A very good sport and a ripping good basketball player. Her motto is, “Get your man,” and it never fails. And say, Helen sure can make the ivory keys tinkle. HAZEL LORETTA YOUNG “Jetty” Jetty wants a Buick sport roadster very badly. Of course, we want her to have one but we’re afraid the one she got for Christmas won’t do. Here’s an S. O. S. CARL L. APGAR, JR. “Doc” “Coach” Band, Treas. Freshman Class, Senior Play Phi la.

ARNOLD “Dutch” Orchestra Dutch is a quiet sort of a chap, but a finer fellow could not be found. He is one of those bashful but unusual fellows. LORRAINE J. ARNOLD “Tiny” The nickname may be misleading, but that makes no difference to us. Tiny is a quiet and likeable chap and he has made many friends in High School. FRANK ASHTON “Joli” “Red” Football and Track Dean Academy Frank called Red (mainly because his hair isn’t) comes from a family inclined toward football. As a matter of fact there is almost always an Ashton connected with Easton High Football. WALTER E. BACHMAN “Baciue “Bud” Radio Club, Tennis, Senior Play Lafayette Bud is one of the leading members of the Radio Club. He is the only member who can assemble a set, have three parts left over and have it work.

Radio Club, Rechauffe, National Honor Society Lafayette Bowden is one of the shining lights of our class, and though the pessimist says, ‘The shining mark always gets hit” we believe Bowden will graduate from Lafayette as a good engineer. CALVIN STANLEY BIBLEHF.IMER “Cal” Blair Cal is one of our shining lights. He has figured out in logarithms that he is the best “Trig” student in the school, but Mr. Brotzman won’t believe him. WILLIAM E. BONTZ “I.ightnin” “Bontzie Football Dean Academy As the name would indicate Bontzie takes his good old time; but wait until Lightnin hits electrical engineering, than he’ll make some sparks fly. PETER J. BRASSO “Pete” Lafayette This, ladies and gentlemen, is Pete. Pete intends to hit Lafayette and the world, as a French shark, but Miss Reed looks grim. WILLIAM BROWN “Bill” “Brownie” “Hiram” If you see a rather tall, thin fellow coming down the hall grinning at everybody and getting grins back it’s Brownie. Brown intends to join the Typographical Error Club” out in the Wide, Wicked World. (38) 7yujwv (k , JOHN BRUNNER “Bots” Although he cannot play football as well as the well known Bots Brunner, he certainly can handle tools. If you have any doubt about this, you should ask him to show you some of the things he made in manual training.

PAUL BUGEN “Peanut” “Boocey” French Club, Ushers Club. Rechauffe Staff Lafayette For one so small, we do not understand how he holds so much know- ledge. Whatever you want to know ask Peanut.

When you want some printing done, sec Don. RUSSELL R. CASE “Casey” “Case” “Russ” Rechauffe An appropriate name, for even the girls get a Case, when it comes to Russ. Who could resist that smile and good disposition? I think you will agree with me, girls. I 39) JOHN H. CHIDSEY “Jack” Ushers Club Lafayette Jack has always been a good student in Physics. But lessons don’t interfere too much when hunting season comes along and the quail arc calling. CLAIR E. CHURCHMAN “Jinx” Student Council, Pres.

He has done quite well in them all and upheld the family reputation. LEONARD A. DeCESARE “Caesar” School of Pharmacy This fellow with the “high and mighty name” intends to be a drug- gist. I conard is a quiet fellow and we wish him as much success as his victorious namesake of old. HARVEY C. J. DEI LEY “Blondy” Penn State Ask Miss Cline if Blondy can talk! He really is ambitious, but what’s the use? Being such a blonde himself, it is peculiar that he should prefer them, but just ask him. MANUEL DEUTSCHMAN Lehigh Manuel can always be seen with his dinner pail. We hope that it will always be filled, old chap, and that you will never get so engrossed in studies, you’ll forget to eat. GEORGE M. DIEHL “Diehlie” Lafayette George has kept himself in the background, but he has been faithful to his class and studies. He is an embryonic engineer, and we hope he will do well at college. (41 ) FRED A. ECKHARDT “Prof” Wbstinghouse Electric Fred is the High School Sheik. Did you ever ride in his Viber Eight? It is some car. Wc hope for a ride some day. NELSON R. FELKER “Nels” Radio Club Borobkstown Nelson is one of the tall boys of the class. He is good-humored, and has a good disposition which will be a great help in life. Our library won’t forget the books for which wc have his generous folks to thank. GEORGE FLEMMING “Tiny” Ushers’ Club George has very little to say when around school, and few of us feel we really know him. But when it comes to movies it’s different. George knows practically all about ever)’ picture show. He can always be found at the Embassy after school hours. WARREN FLOWERS “Tiger” Gym Team Track Warren is one of the quiet boys of our class. He is an addict of hunt- ing and whenever he is absent, John is sure to be with him. EDWARD ROBERTS FORI) “Ford” “Ed” Senior Football, Ushers' Club I.AWRENCEVIM.E Ed has acquired the art of sleeping in study hall better than anyone else in the school. We hope to sec more of Ed. 142] JOSEPH P. GADWELL Annapolis Well, from the number of thorough questions that Joe asks in class, we believe that he is a great believer in the strict enforcement of laws. LAFAYETTE A. GARNIER “Dick” “General” Glee Club, Ushers Club (2) Boston College Dick is the class clown. He is the fellow who makes everybody feel happy. When you are in trouble, call on Dick!

We hope his future will contain success. CHARLES F. GORMAN “Ciiot Charley is little, but he is a great boy. He is always ready for fun, and we hope that some day he will be a “big man. WILLIAM EDWARD GREEN “Bill” Band, Orchestra, Radio Club Lafayett E We haven’t heard much from Bill since we’ve been here together. However, he has worked hard and finally made the French behave. 143) GEORGE GROLLMAN Junto, National Honor Society, Class Baseball Harvard As assistant business manager of the Junto, George has done his part in making it a success. He has the head that makes a good student. And what he can’t do to a sax, besides his blessing of the gift “gab . DONALD ROBERT GRUBE Don Lafayette “Small in stature, but mighty in mind fits Don perfectly. The girls envy him the blue eyes and golden permanently-waved locks— boys always get the locks. K EN N ETH HAG E R I AN “Buck “E Club, Capt. Football, Track Ean Academy Here is the bashful captain of our successful football team. He is one of the few who took active interest in all athletics. We still wonder if he is fond of Ruby eyes. KENNETH V. HARRIS “Ken” I.ehich Ken has a great facility for borrowing. He is another one of those South Siders. FRANCIS W. HARTMAN “Lefty Baseball. “E”, Class Football Prep School Lefty is one of the athletes of our class. Besides being a mean curve- ball artist, he can also throw a football as well as he can a baseball. 144 1 CARI. E. HEILMAN “Scook” National Honor Society, Capi. Tennis Lafayette Here is our studious person. When in doubt about your lessons, ask Carl. He sees all, knows much, and writes more. HENRY H. JONES “Henny” Executive Committee, E. H. S. A. Princeton Henny has been a member of the National Honor Society for several years. Mathematics is his favorite subject. “On to Princeton,” Henry. WILLIAM KARA WAN “Bill” “Willie” Lafayette “There is likewise a reward for faithful silence”. Horace, the latin poet, once remarks. So you’re all right, Bill. EDWARD S. KENNEDY “Ed” Rechauffe Staff, National Honor Society, Radio Club We wish Ed success as an engineer because he is one of the really brilliant fellows of our class. Although quiet most of the time, he knows his “stuff.” E. JAMES KILPATRICK “Bud” “Pete” “Kii.lie” Penn State Jimmy is a new member of the class of 1928, but he is well liked, although he hasn’t been among us long. 145) '' it CHARLES D. KING “Don” University of Wisconsin We hope that Don goes into the garage business so he can repair his own car. Don's military walk makes us think he ought to go to West Point. ROBERT W. KIRKENDALL “Kirk” “Kirky “Bob Radio Club, Ushers’ Club Bob isn’t one of the fellows who talks all day, but when he docs talk, it is wise to listen to him. JACOB M. KITCHEN “Jake” “Jiggs” “Tis fortune gives us birth But Jove alone endues the soul with worth.” Our shiek, tall and handsome, was favored indeed.

FRANK LACONEY “Franky” Football, “E” Lafayette Franky is an example of hard work requited at last. He worked hard at football and gained little glory until at last he earned his “E”. “Good work, Franky”. 146) GEORGE ALVIN LAROS “Larry” Junto, Tennis Hamilton Larry, the walking joke book of the school. He alone can turn a teacher’s frown into a smile. Larry also was a shining light (?) in Cicero. ARTHUR LAZARUS Arthur expects to be a printer and we wish him success. Perhaps he will be able to print the future Rechauffes. FLOYD R. LEAR “Leary” Operetta, Orchestra, Rechauffe Merce rsblrg We thought sure Floyd was to be a prominent musician, but it seems that he has other plans. “But, really, it isn’t nice to push a lady into a waste-paper basket”. ASAPH S. LIGHT “Red” Hi-Y-Club, Senior Play Lafayette Wherever you go Red shines, whether it is the color of his hair or his brilliance we do not know. Asaph is a good sport and is well liked. EDGAR F. D. L1LLICRAP “Ed” “Lilly” Radio Club Lafayette Ed docs not live up to one of his nicknames as quite a few teachers will testify. Wherever you go, Ed’s presence is noticed. 147] REGINALD A.

He not only looks our idea of a poet and musical genius but also is quite an ex- pert with the violin. EDWARD McCLUSKEV “Mac” “Ed” Rechauffe Staff, Pres. Senior Class, Capt. Debating Lafayette If you ever get into a legal scrape, just step into McCluskey’s office and he will fix you up, (you’ll have to pay, of course). Ed intends to become a lawyer and follow in his father’s footsteps. We wish him as much luck in the future as he has had in the school debates, English Class and Senior Play. FRED H. MacDONALD “Mac” “Andy” Cross Country (2) Track, Gym Stroudsburg State Teachers College Mac is a rather quiet fellow. Ilis chief ambition in life seems to be in being an acrobat and Gym instructor. Anyway his red hair may be seen flying around the apparatus in the Gym almost any afternoon. FRANK MAURER “Baker” Class Football University of S. Calif. Life is lengthened while growing for Thought is the measure of life.” He only speaks when he has something worth while to say, so we know he is a thinker and docs rather than a talker. FREDERICK WILLIAM MEBUS “Fred” Glee Club, Commercial Drawing Club Fred is one of the shining lights in Mechanical Drawing. In ten years we can expect Fred to be building railroads in South America and else- where. I 48 j ROBERT E. MENGLE “Bob” E. H. S. A. Glee Club, Operetta, Football Bob is one of the popular members of our class. He is a good football and baseball player and even a good student when he studies. JOHN MERRILL Rechauffe Staff State Forestry School. Mount Alto, Pa. John is quite a character around school. He loves to go hunting and to see wrestling bouts, but he is not a lover of the gentle art of studying. KENNETH H. MESSER “Ken” Class Basketball Carniege Tech. Ken is rather quiet an J n: t very well known. We do know however that he is quite a book at Trig. FRANK MILLER Frank's a quiet fellow about whom we don’t know much, but he as- sures us that he is going to be a printer and we expect to hear from him in the future. THOMAS J. MONAHAN “Chen” Football, Baseball (2) Bellfonte Harp is one of the local boys. He tells us he comes from South Side, but we often find him on North Second Street. We wonder. He expects to enter the profession of his countrymen. We wish him luck wearing the blue uniform with the brave buttons. [49] CARL MORRISON “Chot” Football (3), Class Baseball Penn State School of Forestry, Mount Ai.to Chot is all up in the air about aviation arid expects to get the low down on the subject. JAMES MORRISON “Shanby” Football (3), Basketball, Track (2) Prep School As Barnum said, “There’s one born every minute,’’ and we believe he’s right for here’s another aviator. But we know he’ll succeed, never- theless, because he plays a good aerial game. GEORGE P. MULLER “Shizz” Basketball Univ. of Hf.idelhf.rc A green Studcbakcr speeding up Northampton Street.

NEEB “Muscle” Class Football, Radio Club Lafayette Here’s a Math shark that is going to amount to something, for he ex- pects to be an engineer. Wc don’t wish him any hard luck, but we hope he’ll find differential calculus as easy as trig. AUBREY W. NELSON “Sharkey Class Football, Radio Club, Debating Univ. of Penna. Judging from this fellow’s ability to argue over nothing in English class, we expect to find him a great lawyer some day. 150) ■ JOSEPH HOWARD PAUL “Job” Ushers’ Club Here’s another red-head from South Side. He shows up pretty well in chemistry and physics and may some day turn out to be a renowned scientist. D.

Besides being manager of the basketball team, he is one of the class “sheiks.” He says he likes his gaieties. FOSTER J.

We arc glad to say he is one of us. HARRY W. S171TON “Sut” “Slim” Basketball, Track, Class Football N. Y. U. Harry may some day, be a head waiter. This is undoubtedly true on account of his patience in cafeteria. GEORGE EARL TAYLOR “Bolikmian” L’shcrs’ Club (2), Gym Team, Com. Dramatic Club Notre Dame '•Earl earned his nickname “Bohemian by proving to be a perfect lover and by his popularity with the girls. Earl, however, has time for other things besides girls. w MI ECZYSLAW TILWJCK “Chet” Lafayette As Chet is genial and pleasant, he is popular with everyone in school, except his teachers.

Our business manager may be small, but—oh, my! Spencer is very popular with both sexes and we hope he will do as much for Penn State as he has done for us. WILLIAM TODD “Bii.l” In the last year, Bill has started to study. We don’t understand it, but. ____Perhaps she is an inspiration! HERBERT TOFF “Herb” Bus. Mgr. Junto Staff, Class Baseball, Class Football Lafayette There is no doubt about it, I Icrb’s real name should be “Jazz.” What Herb can’t do with a piano isn’t worth mentioning. 1 Ierb is also a good student and fellow. CLYDE UHLER “Doc” Orchestra, Band Lafayette Although his main characteristic is noisclcssncss, Clyde has been with us just the same. As a musician Doc is certainly a wonder. He plays in our band and orchestra, and how well do we all remember the assem- bly in which Clyde played so excellently on his Xlyphone. WILLIAM UNGERLEIDER “Bill” “Uncey” Univ. of Penna. Bill is another one of our heavyweights. Do you know anybody who wants to buy an automobile? If so. Bill will sell you one. 155 1 H EN RY UP I) KG ROVE “Upde” Rechauffe. Football “E”, National Honor Society N. Y. U. Whenever a gigantic problem arises in the mathematical line, Henry is sure to solve it.

CLIFFORD VAN NATTA “Pete” Assistant Basketball Manager U. of P. We hear Pete is going to enter into Dentistry. I am sure if we knew where his office was we would all rush to be the first one to have our false teeth put in. Now, we ask you, wouldn’t that be an honor? WINSTON WALP “Win” Penn State Here he is—the life of the party. Win is always good-natured, and willing to help his classmates create trouble at any time. That’s why he is so well liked and welcomed where’er he goes. KENNETH WENDLAND “Ken” Class Football, Track Ken may appear innocent, but often he is at the root of some mis- chief.

However, judging from the team we turned into the P’Burg game, we had a very successful season for they whipped around into being as good as any previous team that ever represented Easton High School. We started off our season with Conschohocken and came through easily with a 26-0 score. The next was John Harris, a league team, which went down by the nar- row margin of 2-1. For these two games, the weather was still summer weather and the games were very poorly played, in consequence, which showed the next week in Philadelphia when we took a general out-classing, 18-0 from Phila. Roman Catholic High. It took one more defeat, this time 6-0 from Chester High to make our team. From then on, no one could complain about the spirit of the team and it only re- mained for them to whip into shape. They waded through another league team, Hazelton, 20-6 and then the next Saturday they held the big Bethlehem team to a scoreless tie. The next week Allentown beats us on a wet field, 6-2, by a luckily intercepted forward pass. Reading came next and was easily beaten in the first half, thus giving the whole second team a chance to start the second half. The final score was 32-7, Reading having scored on the second team. Then came the grand climax which pointed to the team as one of the best E. H. S. has ever had. We played one of the best teams P’burg ever sent over and sent them back to the tune of 20-13. So, it may be seen, we had a very successful season in spite of these scores. We must give the credit to somebody for this and it is probable the most credit is due to our coach, Pat Reilly, who worked faithfully with the squad to turn out the team. Then there were the several scrubs and the coachcrs, and no small credit is due to the great spirit that the team developed.

T TAVING only two seniors on this year’s squad, next year’s prospects look better than this year’s. Karl Meixell was elected captain when the team resumed practice after the Christmas holidays. Election for a captain had been delayed as no one was considered eligible in 1927. Easton is a member of the Eastern Dis- trict of Pennsylvania Scholastic Basketball League and for the last two years has maintained the lowest position. This year’s team has raised the status a trifle higher. 173J Girls’ Basketball G1RI.S’ BASKETBALL First Row, L. to R.: Coach Chalmers, Marie Reach, Eva Ihrmark, Helen Transue. Ruby Overholt.

THE girls always have a crack championship team and this year seems to be no exception, for the girls have started their season with success. The girls’ team is a combination of flashy stars welded together in machine-like team work. We don’t need to wish them success for we know they arc going to have an un- defeated season.

W ITH five of last year’s varsity including an experienced pitching staff and a veteran field, Coach Richards will turn out a team that will duplicate the feat of two years ago and win the state championship. The least vve dare hope for is the district championship. These five will be supported by a number of men from last year’s squad and some good new material from the Junior High League. Easton High has always had very good baseball teams due to the coaching of “Charley” Richards and the spirit of the football team carried over into the spring for baseball. In ’25 Easton was district champion. In ’26 state champion, and ’27, second in district and in ’28......here’s hoping. Track First Row; Ixrfi to Right: D. Snyder, I I.

The most important victory being Toma- qua, 47-43. They also raised the triangular status to second place. This squad is composed mainly of last year’s team with some unusual new ma- terial. Naturally we have every reason to expect a successful season. With some training and proper coaching the relay team should win its event in the Penn Relays this year. We sincerely hope that this year’s team will be able to conquer its traditional rivals, Bethlehem and Allentown, in the regular meet. 1761 Girls’ and Boys’ Tennis First Row, I -eft to Right: M.

At the beginning of the year, a President, Vice President, and a Secretary were elected, while the principal of the school has the power of a faculty advisor in that he has the final decision in all matters. The assembly holds as its goal, a government of the school in harmony with the teachers, and in reality controlled by the students themselves. It is to this end that the delegates announce what transpires in the sessions of the assembly, and also ask questions. In the meetings, the members discuss matters of importance pertaining to the school welfare, and possibly pass motions to that effect. So it is really through the medium of the assembly that the pupils help govern themselves.

TTERE is our famous Easton High School Debating Squad. There are only A six speakers on the team with two alternates. Coach William Fackenthal tried to give all the members a chance to participate, but it was almost impossible for every one to earn his “E”. Easton High School is one of the foremost members of the Ursinus Debating League. The question for debate in 1928 was, “Resolved, that a high protective tariff as a permanent policy, promotes the best interests of the United States”. All the speakers spoke with the courage of their convictions due to the untiring efforts of the Coach. National Honor Society President—Ruth Cline Secretary—Sarah Hamman Vice Pres.—Henry Updegrove Treasurer—Grace Hahn “Resolved that the Honor Society be more than a figure-head organization” was the proclamation made by its members at the beginning of the year. Their first step toward action in this line was in forming a flower fund for the school by means of which flowers might be sent to all those students who were seriously ill during the school year. Representative colors were chosen and a program was mapped out for initiating new members into the society. This program was carried out in assembly and may be accepted as a standard method of initiation to the Honor Society. It has been decided that starting next year, the society will present a silver cup to the best all-round citizen of Easton High School. Business, however, did not occupy all the society’s time, for several social func- tions were held during the year. Orchestra The followers of the Easton High School Orchestra will certainly agree that the Orchestra has kept up the admirable work started by its conductor, Mr. Beam, many years ago. The performances of the Orchestra are to be highly praised; the music which was acquired was of a much more interesting sort than that of previous years. The Orchestra reached the height of its success in the Christmas concert which was enjoyed by all, and Mr. Beam clearly showed his ability as a conductor in the performance. The operetta tested the Orchestra’s ability to accompany a solo artist, and liv- ing up to its reputation, gave a very good musical performance. The many and beautiful performances ended one of the most prosperous years of the many Easton High School Orchestras. (84) Band Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Beam, the leader, the Easton High School Band has reached the highest degree of perfection yet obtained by any Easton High band. Perhaps, the greatest distinction was the winning of the American Legion prize for the best non-union band which participated in the Armistice Day Parade. The followers of the football team greatly showed their appreciation for the band which at almost every game, gave a splendid performance and made a good appearance while marching up and down the field in their newly acquired band uniforms. This, to- gether with the concerts, ended the most progressive and prosperous season in the history of Easton High School. 185 j Operetta r I 'HE Operetta, the “Hunter’s Moon” given this year by the glee club most suc- cessfully on Feb. 16 and 17 was an unusually important event in the history of Easton High; for the music was composed by our own Mr. Beam. His other com- positions had proven to us that his ability is of no mean sort, and his many activities in the town have given us reason to appreciate him before, but wc of the senior class especially feel honored to be the first to perform this excellent production. The humor and interest of the lines arc to be attributed to Miss Eflfa Preston, an Eng- lish teacher in New Brunswick, N. J., who wrote the liberetto. But the snap and vivacity of the gay choruses and the charming solos are never to be forgotten by the fortunate audiences, and the cast who worked so faithfully and cooperated so well in making the operetta a success artistically, financially, and musically. The solo- ists all deserve great credit; it is hard to say which were best, and the chorus was excellent. The costumes and scenery, too, cannot be overlooked, as they were most effective. The Senior Play “rT'HE TIGHTWAD”, a comedy in three acts by Robert Keith was present- A ed by members of the Senior Class on Friday and Saturday evenings, March 30, and 31 in the Easton High Auditorium. “The Tightwad”, a cross section of American middle-class life, was presented on Broadway last year. Though not unlike other plays which have been presented by our high school students, “The Tightwad” was well received and was unusually strong in its appeal. This was largely due to the fact that the play so closely touches the lives of those who make up the American audience and because the roles were within the realm of interpretation of high school students. The play was well cast; the roles intelligently handled and the play was largely successful because of a pleasing balance and proportion. The cast and committees hold the distinction of presenting a play which stands out not only as a dramatic and financial success, but they can also look upon it as a piece of work consummated through cooperation, persistence and good-fellowship. The play was directed by Miss Greider, Senior Class Advisor, and by E. J. Miller of the English department. The music was furnished by the high school orchestra under Mr. Beam’s direction.

Ushers’ Club Head Usher—Robert Sassaman This club is seldom heard from, but its members arc well-known. They usher at every affair in the auditorium and the High School certainly appreciates their service. 190) [91 1 After “Tellings” TT was in the dump. Betty and I had loved Rover, the dog, a terrible lot and when the old thing died, we both felt rather queer about it. We buried him under a dogwood tree in the dump and we put a stick there so we’d remember where it was. Sometimes we gathered violets and put them there. One day there was a storm and when we went to the grave the stick was gone. Then we had no way of telling if we had the right spot to put the flowers anymore. That worried us be- cause if we didn’t get them in the right place, the dog wouldn’t see them. So we made a great plan. We decided to plant violets all around the tree so we’d be sure to have them in the right spot. We worked for lots of days and then when the whole spot was covered we felt happy. Often when we played around, we came to the tree and the violets made us think of Rover who could never run again, and we went away a little less happy, but then we’d remember that we had given him something pretty to look at, while he had to lie still all the time. Then, too, besides Rover’s grave, Betty had some “places” that were hers and I had some that were mine. There was a big hollow rock in between our “places” and we each owned half. Sometimes we got in terrible fights about who had the biggest. When mother wasn’t looking, we’d sneak in the kitchen, grab some matches and built a fire in the rock. That was a special event. A stream ran down beside the dump and we’d go wading there when the water wasn’t too cold. One day, a bad little boy came and teased us. We told him that little boys were made out of snails and puppy-dog tails. He got awful mad and he put our shoes and stockings to soak and we had to sit in the sun for a couple of hours drying them again. We were late for dinner and mother scolded. We’d cry, when mother scolded us. That’s the best way ’cause as soon as we’d cry she’d forgive us. Funny how moth- ers arc! 193 1 Mary Harrison ’28 Innocent ' I 'HAT was pretty good of my lawyer, but still I don’t know, I don’t know. What don’t I know? I don’t know what I don’t know. I feel as though I were going mad, mad, stark, raving mad. Yet I am innocent! Yes, innocent! These fools, these liars, these perjurers, reporters, experts, and witnesses glare at me as though I were some freak, some curiosity. I may be acquitted, I may not. Even if I am, my life is ruined. No one will believe me, no one will trust me. No one, no, no one. Good God, will that jury never come back?—What do I care, I am innocent, just as innocent, no matter what they say. I will receive my reward in Heaven. No! No! I don’t want to die. I want to live, eat, sleep, sing, dance, make merry. Hut never again can I sing, dance, or make merry. People will shun me as though I carry some dread disease, as though I were a murderer, and I am not, I am innocent! What right have those twelve men to decide whether I have killed another or not? What right have they? What light have they if they do think so to sentence to death? They didn’t sec him murdered. How can they tell? How can anyone tell but him? And lie’s dead! I can tell, I can tell, but no one believes me. They used to trust me, but they don’t any more. I lost my job, my home, my friends, my self-respect, all on account of a few scurrilous liars. But stay—perhaps—yes—yes, after all, they told the truth. The truth yes, the truth, but it was all circumstantial, all. They shouldn’t convict me on that. They shouldn’t, they can’t. Oh God, if there is a God, how can you permit such a mockery, such a travesty of justice. Justice is blind, blind; she can do nothing but listen. She cannot see the truth, she can only listen to a few witnesses and lawyers who profess to tell it. Lawyers, banterers of words, loopholcrs in the law! If the other lawyer is better than my lawyer, I lose, I lose! I am no more guilty than before, but I lose, I lose, I lose......... Why doesn’t some one stop that infernal clock up there going tick- tock, tick-tock, tick-tock? What good are clocks anyway? What good is any- thing? I have worked, toiled, slaved, and sweated for my position, and my home, and now all is gone at a blow. Yet I am innocent. That reporter there, a sickly grin all over his face, pushing his pencil. Doesn’t he realize the position I am in? Can’t he sec that it is a matter of life and death to me? No! No! He chatters away as though it were of no moment, no moment. My life, my life of no moment! My life, what a funny thing it is. What is my life? Will it cause me any pain when they kill me, if they kill me? Oh Lord, it’s driving me crazy, crazy-mad, stark, raving, crazy, mad. And I must sit still and look calm. ly lawyer says I must. How does he know how I feel! How can he, with all his experience, feel as I feel? How can that jury tell, especially that one in the third seat? He doesn’t listen, he’s crooked, he’s been bribed, I know. I can feel it. I told my lawyer so, but he only smiled. I wish I had procured another law- yer even if it would have cost me more. After all, if I lose, I lose all. Why should there be a difference in lawyers? I am innocent whether my lawyer is good or poor, and yet they say a good lawyer helps. It’s unjust, it’s criminal, but I sup- pose it can’t be helped. What’s the noise? The jury coming? No. Why doesn’t that jury hurry? They’ve been out three hours. Don’t they realize how I feel? Why don’t they hurry? They’re coming now! They’re coming! I can sec them. Here he comes — the third one. What right has he to damn me in the eyes of my fellow men? How can they decide in two or three hours? Three hours, my life, my only life, decided in three hours, only three hours! My God, have they no feeling at all? Arc they mere mockers? Now I must stand, my lawyer says so. Still, regardless of what that foreman says in answer to the judge, I am innocent. I am going mad, mad, but I am innocent. The foreman is about to speak. I must brace up, ready to take the worst, but I am innocent. I must be dreaming, but I can’t be! I can hear the judge speaking to the jury. The foreman is about to answer. The charge is false, but I can say nothing. I am innocent. Can’t they see, are they blind? In spite of what they say, I am innocent. Edward McCluskey, ’28 1928 Senior Class Song In the harbor safe at anchor Stands the good ship Easton High With her colors proudly flying As we bid a fond goodbye. Four long years she bore us bravely But today the ocean’s past, We have reached the hoped-for harbor We have touched the shore at last. We must leave the pleasant harbor In our own small bark to go On the high seas stormy pathway Now our way we scarce can know. But through storm as well as sunshine We shall strive to honor truth Noble deeds for our dear high school Alma Mater of our Youth.
