(f7 V y HIS ANNIVERSARY EDI I ION of the Rechauffe has been compiled in order to present a panorama of the activities of Easton High School during the past twenty years. In so doing, the staff hopes to make a permanent record of some of the unusual as well as statistical facts concerning the school. I he year 1945 observes the anniversaries of several school activities, among which the Junto holds the most outstanding record with fifty years of publica- tion to its credit. Forty years ago the first Chemistry and Physics Clubs appeared in E. H. S.; however, the existing clubs are not under the original constitutions. A predecessor of the German club, then known as the Dutch Club, was also active in 1905. I-e Cercle Francais was organized in 1925 and now has com- pleted its twentieth active year. The more recently organized clubs which are celebrating anniversaries are Cheerleaders — fifteen years. Chess Club — ten years, and the Pen and Parchment—ten years. In the year 1905 the yearbook was first published under the title Rechauffe, and as such has annually been produced for the past forty years. Prior to 1905 a special issue of the Junto was used as a sort of yearbook. The French word Rechauffe means ‘‘recooked or “rehashed” and is appro- priate in view of the fact that one is looking at the years in retrospect.

I AG A X E N I) WA PA I .A X FA V A Path-Leader Wiiite-Eaci.e We are both honored and privileged to dedicate this book to Mr. Denton Bedford, who has most capably filled his position as teacher of history in Easton High School for eleven years. Several years ago. Mr. Bedford, who is a grad- uate of Easton High School, originated a course for the study of the history of Easton. Interest in this course grew until over two hundred points of local historical interest were studied and then plotted on a map which is still in the school. Mr. Bedford, who is the grandson of a full-blooded Lenape-Iroquois Indian, is very much interested in the his- tory of the local tribes. He is pictured above in complete tribal dress.
