Warriors from the tribes of the Angles and the Saxons soon followed and drove westward the original in- habitants of Britain. Many stories are told of how brave kings met these invading tribes and tried to force them back. Perhaps the hero best known in these legends is Arthur, a prince of the Britons. There are two legendsabout the birth of King Arthur. One is that when Uther, the King of Britain, was dying, he was very anxious for an heir, and prayed for several days that he might know who his successor would be before he died. The night when Uther passed away, just before he died, Merlin left him moaning and wailing for an heir. He passed through the castle gateway into the dismal night 2 E-ASTONQIA and on down to the water's edge. There he saw upon a Wave a ship in the shape of a dragon, bright from stem to stern with shining people. Then suddenly it disappeared, but still Merlin watched the waves until the ninth brought to his very feet a naked babe. Quickly he stooped and caught the child and cried, The King! Here is an heir for Uther. Merlin carried the naked one to Uther and told him of the Ending of the little one. The King, re- joicing over his divine gift of an heir, then died. The other legend is that Uther had engaged in War with a petty king of England and had slain him. He then married the widowed Wife of his victim and she raised him a son whom they named Arthur. Whichexier one of these legends may have been true, the wise old philosopher Merlin cared for the little prince and when he had become a man he made hiin ruler over his rightful kingdom. The young king planned to establish a kingdom of justice. honor and purity, and in order to accomplish this, he brought together a band of the noblest knights, known as the Round Table. Among these we still read won- derful accounts of Galahad, Lancelot, Tristram, Percival and Gareth. To belong to this Round Table was the envy of every young knight, although each one admitted had to take an oath To reverence the King, as if he were their conscience, and their conscience as their King, To break the heathen and uphold the Christ, To ride abroad redressing human wrongs, To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it, To honor his own word as if his God's, To lead sweet lives in purest chastity, To love one maiden only, and cleave to her, And worship her by years of noble deeds, Until they won her. Aftl1llY,S object was to do justice always to whoever came and asked it of him. This we can see, as in the case of Lynette, asking him for his bravest knight, and at the time when a lady came to him crying, A boon, Sir King. Thy father Uther has taken from my husband his prop- ertyf' Arthur then asked her if she preferred gold or the EASTONIA 3 property. On her reply he restored to her her field and three times the gold for Uther's use. That stern rebuke given to the vile Mark when he sent the shining cloth of gold, in order to win Arthur's consent to belong to the band of pure knights, the Round Table, proves that he could not be bribed with gifts, however rich. Arthur married Guinevere, the fair daughter of Leodo- gran, the King of Cameliard. For a time they were both very happy for all deceit had vanished from his kingdom. But after a time Guinevere began to deceive the King, now the downfall of 'this wonderful kingdom had begun. The Queen had fallen in love with Lancelot, the bravest knight in Arthur's court. So strong was her love that re- ports of it spread over all the land. After some time the good King learned of this disgrace and it was the greatest blow that could come to his long cherished plan of establish- ing a perfect kingdom, Then Guinevere fled and Arthur waged war against Lancelot. In one of these battles he was mortally wounded by Modred, a wicked knight, and this brought about the fulfillment of the prophecy of his death. Wheii a young man King Arthurt was engaged in battle with Lancelot, and Merlin and he were riding along a lake one day when they saw a hand clothed in white sannnite holding up out of the water a sword, and they saw a lady who said she lived in a castle under tl1e lake. She told them to take a barge and row out to the sword and take it. This King Arthur did, when he had taken it the arm disappeared. On one side of the sword was the in- scription Htake me on the other side Cast me away. Wlien Arthur felt that he was going to die, he told Bedivere, his oldest knight, to take his sword HExcalibur and cast it back into the lake from which he had taken it. Bedivere took it and reached the lake, but having within him a desire to keep it, he hid it and returned to Arthur. The King then asked him what he had seen, but Bedivere replied, I heard the ripple washing in the reeds, And the 4 EASTONIA wild water lapping on the crag. Arthur then told him he had not obeyed and sent him backg again and again the knight disobeyed. The third time he returned he told the King that he saw an arm clothed in white sammite rise up out of the water which had seized the sword and then dis- appeared under the water. Arthur then commanded his knight to carry him to the lake. There he was met by a black barge on which there were three angels who received him, and tl1e barge floated oif in the distance until lost from view. King Arthur's followers retained the hope, for many centuries after his death, that he would return again as their leader. FRANK MALCOLM '12 subsu- My First Experience at Cooking My mother once left my little brother and me to keep house while she took a trip to some of her relatives down the State. She left what she thought was a sufficient sup- ply of food to last us until she returned, but, whether her judgment was poor or we did our prettiest to see just how much we'could eat, I cannot say, but one thing I know, whereas I was with grub, I was now without. I must cook or starve and I would have much preferred the latter, but for the sake of my small brother, as well as for the poor dog who was whining pitifully for something to eat, I had to be brave. I searched through the house nearly an hour for a bread receipt but failed to find one. I then decided to rely upon my own judgment. After mixing up a little flour and water in the bread pan, I racked my brains to think what else I had better add to the mixture. All at once I thought of the soda although I did not know what good it would do. Alas! here I made a fatal error. I got, instead of soda, some lime that mother has bought for whitening purposes and left in the kitchen cabinet by mistake. I next thought it best to add something to raise it from its shallow position, - EASTONIA 5 to at least sea level, so added what I thought was a yeast cake, but which turned out to be the bottom part of a pickle bottle stopper. I then added half a cup of salt thinking perhaps it would be enough. Then I put in some laundry starch thinking it was cream of tarter, and made up my mind after adding a tablespoonful of castor oil for lemon extract that it was ready for the oven. If anyone had seen me working he would have declared that I was trying to perform a chemical experiment. I made up a roaring fire, put the bread in the oven and waited to see what would follow. My little brother gave me a pleasant look, saying he was thankful he had a brother that knew enough to cook. In a few minutes I opened the oven door to look at my bread which I thought must be half done. I was deeply impressed when I saw it. My spirits, however, were good, and I believed it must rise at least two inches before it was thoroughly cooked. At last the time came to remove the bread from the oven. I thought it thinner than it was when'I looked at it before, and when I went to take it from the oven. I could scarcely lift it, but supporting it upon my knees, I managed to get it on a chair. My little brother and the dog rushed for- ward with a lively interest. As I was prying off a corner with an iron poker it gave way and about a third part of the bread flew to the other side of the room and fell with a dull thud in the corner. The dog ran for it and started out the door with the whole piece, uttering the most dead- ly shrieks you ever heard. I shouted after him wishing him good luck. I ventured cautiously to taste a little crumb that had splintered off from the side, and it sur- passed even my wildest dreams. I quickly snatched the piece I had given to my little brother, gathered up the rest and hurled it with all my might out of the door. Iust then I saw my mother coming up the walk. C. S. K. '12 ,X EASTONIA N , , Roman Life and Manners ' Under the Empire, Rome wore a. very diiferent ap- pearafice from' that which she presented in the days of the Republic. We 1 ' 'Most of the strangers who came to Rome were adven- turers who lived by their wits. Rome was a great hunting iield - for' ad-veiiturers and knights of fortune. A large portion ofthis foreign population was slaves, a class which formed' more than half the total population of Rome. The price of slavesfwas cheap. A young male slave could be bought-for about 520, a girl six years old for about 58. Thelconrlition of the slaves was often very deplorable. This Was-thecase with the immense gangs which specula- Qtors employednngiiidustry and manufacture. The outbreak of epidemics at Rome was a constant ,occurrencesfogerious pestilences broke out in 23 and 22 B. C.g,in 65 D. after the great fire, and in 79 A. D., just after theferuption of Vesuvius. On this last occasion, 10,000 deaths sometimes occurred in a day: Moreover, living at Rome was very dear compared with other towns of Italy. The city Was full of poor people in straightened circumstances, trying to keep up appearances. Men who made a great show were often bankrupt. Besides this great drawback of dear prices, the man of modest means found everything adverse to comfort and tranquillity in Rome. During the day the ordinary traiiic made the streets very noisy, and at night there was the rumbling of vehicles, which were not allowed to pass through the streets by day. VValking in the street was dangerous necessity for a man, who could not afford to be carried in a litter. He ran the risk of being struck in the side by planks of timber, of being trodden on by a soldier's hob- nailed shoes, of being crushed to death by a wagon-load of stone. As to the morality of Roman society, Juvenal devotes his longest satire to a description of the depravity of the EASTONIA 7 women of his day. He describes the women who fall in love with actors and gladiators, harp-player and flute- playersg those who alfect Greek and profess to be quite ignorant of Lating those who tyranize over weak husbands and those who have eight husbands within five years. He tells of their love of finery, their love of gossip and their pride of birth. At Rome education was not compulsory but it was general. The fees at the elementary schools were low, not more than 15 s. a year. Under' the Empire men of the highest rank sent their children to public schools. Mem- bers of the Imperial family were always taught at home. The schools were held in porticoes opening on the street, and the noise of the classes was often a nuisance to the neighbors. Children began to attend school at the age of seven. School began before dawn and each boy brought his own lamp. It was the custom in the early days of the Roman State for the senators to bring their sons to the senate so that they might learn how the affairs of the commomwealth were managed. And that no harm should ensue to the city, the boys promised that they should not tell anything, which they had heard in the House. One day the son of a certain senator was questioned by his mother concerning the Senate. The boy, remembering how he had promised to remain silent about such matters, refused to tell it. But being questioned so closely he at last told her that the Senate debated whether something might not be done, whereby there should be more harmony in familiesg and whether, should it be judged expedient to make any change, this should be to order that a husband should have more wives than one, or a wife more husbands than one. This woman told all the women of her ac- quaintance, and told them not to allow any such thing. The next day the Senate was astonished to see so great a multitude of women near the doors who besought them not to make any change, or. if any, certainly not to permit a man to have more wives than one. Then the boy told 8 EASTONIA how he had devised this story when he was questioned by his mother. After this the Senate would not allow boys to con1e to the House. While this general education was going on, the boy was learning to read, write and cipher. The boy learned writing by following with a pen, forms of letters engraved on tablets of wood. The Roman boy must have found Arithmetic very hard. It is diiiicult to imagine how a sum in division or multiplication could have been done, with the Roman numerals. Acquaintance with Greek began at a11 early age and we read of a Greek maid being kept to exercise young children in talking the language. Great stress was laid on elocution. The master would read passages aloud and the pupils would repeat them after him and practice the right emphasis. A boy had commonly finished his education when he put on a man's gown. There were two kinds of houses in Rome, domus and insula The domus was a private house generally inhabit- ed by one family and not more than one story above the ground. The iusula was a building of three or four stories, let out in Hats or rooms. The insula was so called be- cause it stood like an island surrounded by streets. The ground floor was usually let out in shops. The upper stories had windows, and sometimes balconies, from which people could shake hands across the narrow streets. These houses were badly bnilt by speculators. They were gen- erally built of wood and were constantly falling or being burnt down. The first meal of the day among the Romans was breakfast, generally taken about the third hour. It was very light, consisting of bread, seasoned with salt or honey, or dipped in wine. School-boys had their breakfast, which consisted of a sort of pancake, before daylight. The next meal was the same as our lunch. This was taken at the sixth hour, and might consist of several courses of fish, flesh and fowl, or be as simple as a piece of bread. The regular l1our for dinner, the chief meal of the day, was the RAY W. HARRIMAN, A. B.. PRIN EASTONIA 9 ninth, but it was often later. The dinner always lasted a long timeg three hours was considered a moderate length. The dinner consisted of several courses. The Romans ate with their ingers and they washed their hands after each course. They wiped their hands on a piece of bread which was afterwards thrown to the dogs. In early times the Romans made use of the bath only for health, or cleanliness. But in later times bathing came to be regarded as a luxury. At first, public baths were only intended for the use of the poor people of low rank, who were unable to have a bathroom at home, but before the end of the Republic, people of all classes resorted to the public baths, and the Emperors themselves used to bathe in public with their fellow citizens. The usual hour for bath- ing was about the eighth, before the chief meal of the day, but idle and luxurious people often bathed several times a day. The bathing did not consist merely of a hot or cold bath, but was along process, somewhat like our Turkish baths, only more elaborate. The number of baths, some built by the state, others by speculators, was enormous. The public games at Rome were not only a striking feature of Roman life, but they possessed under the Empire an important political significance. They were one of the two means which the Emperor used to divert the minds of the people from political life. The other was the cheap distribution of bread. The games consisted of perform- ances in the theatreg races in the circus, and exhibitions of gladiators and beasts in the amphitheatre. This cheap supply of food and the cheap, exciting amusements, which the Emperor provided for the people, made them contented to surrender their political rights. H. L. F. '14 ' wow A Thanksgiving Dinner It was the day before Thanksgiving. Mrs. Graham came home very tired. She had been working harder than usual for she wanted to give her children a Thanksgiving 10 EASTONIA dinner. The next morning she got up early, and as she had to help another lady across the street, she told Edith, the eldest daughter, that the grocer boy would bring them a box in a little while and for her to get the contents ready for dinner. When the other children got up Edith told them what her mother had said and it was an anxious lot of children that watched the window until the grocer boy came. To their great surprise they. saw a large fat turkey on top of the box. Edith soon had the turkey in to bake. After this was done she began to unpack the rest of the box. There was everything in it one could wish for. At last she had everything unpacked when she happened to see a slip of paper in the box. On it was written: Mrs. Foster, Dear Madam: VVe are sorry we didn't get this box to you before but we were so busy it was impossible for us to send it sooner. H. N. Bragdon. . The grocer boy had made a mistake and left the wrong box. Edith didn't like to take the turkey out of the oven as it was already partly cooked, but she could think of nothing else to do, so she wrapped it up as it had been in the first place and placed everything back in the box. She then started for the home of Mrs. Foster. That lady met her at the door and Edith gave her the box. Mrs. Foster then wanted to know how she found out it was hers so she showed her the note. Mrs. Foster was greatly surprised and told her she was all honest girl and she would repay her for her honesty. Edith went home., No box came that day for them. At night when her mother came home she told the children she had not received any money from the man who had promised ta pay her and so was unable to buy them any- thing. About ten o'clock the next day the grocer boy came to the house of the Grahains again and left a large basketg in it was fully as much as had been in the other. There was also a large turkey on top and in the bottom a note from EAS'TONlA 11 Mrs. Foster telling Edith that this was to reward her for honesty. That night when Mrs. Graham came home Edith had the steaming turkey on the table which was set for a very ine dinner. Her mother asked her where she had got all the good things. Then,Edith told her about the box and the note from Mrs. Foster, so the Grahams had a Thanksgiving though it was a day later than usual. A. E. S. '14 me-sv The Phantom Launch There were no signs of life at East Harbor on this cold, dark afternoon. It was the Hrst of November and a cold norther was blowing, which threatened a heavy snow- storm before daybreak. The few people near the beach had shut themselves up within their warm little dwellings and awaited the approaching storm, which was common at this time of year. But not so with the crew at the life- saving stations, who were constantly on the alert for dis- tress signals. Darkness was swiftly coming on and with it the storm, when some of the crew sighted a small craft riding in a dangerous place but not a great distance away. The little launch appeared to the life savers to be in distress as the deck was covered with men, who were mak- ing gestures and running wildly about. Never had they seen a craft just like it before. The color of the maiix body and everything on it was pure white and its crew were dressed in the same color. Finally being unable to come to a conclusion concern- ing the peculiar movements of the little craft, the crew set out. The storm came on now more severe than ever, the darkness being intense. It was with great difliculty that the crew kept their own boat upright. Great waves rolled all around them and a blinding hail cut their wet faces. At every flash of lightning they could clearly discern the little launch to which they were bringing assistance, but it always appeared to be the same distance from them. They 12 EASTQNIA co11cluded that the craft was either trying to escape them or that it had lost all control of itself and was drifting out to sea. The crew quickened their speed of pursuit, curiosity now urging them on. The storm had begun to break away and the darkness lifted so that objects could be discerned a short distance ahead. The crew joyfully perceived that the launch was almost at a standstill and by the aid of a great light in the front of the launch they could discern a skull and cross- bones below which was the name Calvaria. just before they reached they reached the spot where the craft was last seen, several great gusts of wind came up making the water again rough, and huge waves rolled between them and their prey. When once more they could look out across the water the launch was nowhere in sight and the life- saving crew found their own boat being carried into a great whirlpool with amazing rapidity. The crew were terribly frightened at this catastrophe and finally became aware that they were in a perilous place and that courage and strength were needed in order to get out of it. The task of turning their boat seemed to be impossible against so strong a current and after baffling about in a whirling, seething surface for nearly ten minutes, it was thought ad- visable to go farther out to sea and possibly they might make a turn more easily. Suddenly the crew were startled by a strange sound resembling a groan alongside them shot directly in front of them, and sped away far out to sea. The crew reached land safely and disembarked silently and thoughtfully. Presently a shout went up from one of the crew near the prow of the ship. The others rushed to the spot to learn the cause of the commotion. Wllereupoii the 1na11 that had raised the shout held aloft in one hand the emblem and name from the Phantom Launch. It had been found caught fast on a protruding iron at the front of the life-boat, which had evidently been tor11 away from the Calvaria.,' The emblem and name were made of gold and set with handsome jewels, the most beautiful object EASTONIA 13 that the men had ever seen, and they triumphantly and im- patiently awaited the dawn, that they might tell their ex- traordinary tale and exhibit their trophy to the ever in- terested inhabitants of Popham Beach. H. A. M. '11 sues People of Britain Before 50 B. C. The Erst people who lived in England were savage, warlike tribes who had swept across Europe and Asia, fighting their way against the savage tribes that then oc- cupied all Europe, until they reached that part of the country known as Denmark, Netherlands, and Northern France. Perhaps centuries passed before pressed upon by other fierce tribes that had followed close behind them, they tied across the channel and settled the British Isles. Here they made their homes and except for the fighting among themselves they prospered, growing more and more com- fortable and somewhat more civilized as century succeeded century. . When these people first came to Britain it is probable that they wandered about or lived in rude huts or holes cut in the sides of the hills. For ighting purposes they made knives by hewing rocks into shape. Their food consisted of fish, game and the produce of the fields, for doubtless they had acquired some degree of skill in the cultivation of the soil. Of course naturally enough these people had areligion, which is supposed to have been brought with them at the time of their migration. This religion was called Druidisin and the people who worshipped were called Druids. The Druid priests were the head ones in making laws as well as in the instruction of the youths who were brought to them to be taught. These priests had a great influence over the people and would often punish them severely when they did not obey their laws. Although these people could write, no attempt was made to preserve their instructions 14 EASTONIA in such way and any attempt to reduce their knowledge to writing was a punishable crime. These people were taught botany, poetry, rhetoric and astromony. The Druids seem as a political party to have exercised a powerful influence on all the Celtic tribes. The Civil Code was almost under their control, and to every crime they attached a religious as well as a civil penalty. Before them as a supreme tribunal, from whose decision there was but one appeal, came every offender against the public or- der, and resistance made the victim both an outlaw and an apostate. These priests even pretended to possess magic powersg and terrible indeed were the curses they showered upon their frightened subjects if they failed to obey their com- mands. They always carried enchanted wands, before the power of which the superstitious Britons, even the bravest of them, trembled with fear. They Wore serpents' eggs around their necks with which they claimed they could read the secrets of a person's heart and send plagues upon the people if they refused to obey. Often in the sacrifices they burned alive 'men and women and sometimes even little children by fastening them all together a11d thrusting them into large cages, which they set upon the burning sacrificial pile. Preeminently as an organization the Druids were a religious body. These Druids believed in a single supreme Deity, who created and governed all things, and also affirmed the existence of many inferior divinities. These in- inferior deities carried out the orders of the supreme one, though they seem to have had power over men which they could exercise independently. They had doubtless a be- lief in a future life for they buried they warrior's spear with him, and were it appears worshippers of the sun and moon. Perhaps the gloom of the dense forest, the sacred emblems, oak and mistletoe, will forever suggest to civilez- ed races that far off dim, and mysterious religion for which they, at o11e time stood. ' DOROTHY BIGELOW '12 EASTONIA 15 LOCALS. The Junior Exhibition was carried out successfully on June 10, 1910 in the Grange Hall. The speakers were Hope Mahaney, Charles Adams, Lela McManus, Leah Fuller, and Earle Towle. Miss Mahaney won the Girl's prize and Mr. Adams the Boy's prize. The graduation exercises of '10 were held in the Grange Hall on the evening of june 17, 1910. The members of the class were Hazel Dewitt, Sherman Deall, Lelia Randall, and Lorin Adams. The diplomas were presented by Sn- perintendent W. L. Powers. Among the new scholars which have been enrolled this year are Hazel Flewelling, Lillian Flewelling, Bernice Edes, Ethel Kelley, Mabel Flewelling and Blanche Gower. Mr. F. E. Smith, Ex-superintendent visited the main room Oct. 25. The teachers of this school attended the teachers' con- vention held in Bangor Oct. 26, 27, and 28. There were no sessions of school Monday, Oct. 31. The Seniors held a Box social in Spear's Hall on the evening of Oct. 3. Mr. Clinton, amissionary from Africa, spoke to the school Nov. 4. The Seniors held a Masquerade Social in the Grange Hall Nov. 17. Among the visitors this year we are glad to record the names of Abbie Nichols, Lizzie Cumming, Lelia Randall and Lila Fox. The Sophomores accompanied by the Faculty enjoyed a straw-ride to Presque Isle and visited Dreamland on the evening of Dec. 13. The girls of '13 were entertained by Miss Perry at the home of A. VV. Kneeland. 16 EASTCJNIA A few scholars attended the A. C. I. play at Mars Hill Jan. 2, 1911. Mr. Stevens from U. of M., Orono, visited the school jan. 26. A number of the scholars attended the Basket Ball game between the E. H. S. boys and the W. H. S. boys at Vifashburn, jan. 27. The Junior Play, An American Hustler, was given in Grange Hall Feb. 7, to a good house. The Juniors attended the Junior contest at Fort Fair- field, Feb. 13. All reported a pleasant time. Quite a good many absences on account of sickness during the week of Feb. 28. Among those absent were Doris Stanchfield, Mabel Flewelling, Mildred Mahaney. On December 19th. the Sophomore class accomapanied by three of the teachers enjoyed a straw ride to Presque Isle and attended Dreamland. Mr. Randall's father was kind enough to let ns take the mule team and at six o'clock we were off. Such a night for a ride, the moonlight and the crisp, cold air supplemented by jolly songs, funny stories, and seventeen young people made the occasion complete. On the way out several over-particular members found a great deal of fault about the close quarters of their feet but on our return that part of their anatomy apparently ac- commodated itself to this alloted space for 11ot the least complaint was heard. No little amusement was afforded on our return by the persistent laziness of the mules which Bernard claimed could be easily overcome by a man's voice and which at intervals he encouraged in commanding tones from the depths of the robes. We returned home at a late hour where our dreams were awaiting us. Most of us to pleasant, peaceful dreams of the evening just passed, but alas! a few to dreams of lessons of the coming day. T. G. C.

E A S T O N I A 23 ATHLETICS The lack of athletics in Easton High School is by no means due to lack of interest in them, for several attempts have been made to start something of the kind here. The School has tried several times to organize a base ball team but has failed each time for want of support by the town people. Last year a basket ball team was even started but the nearest hall in which they were allowed to play was three miles from town, therefore for that reason one more plan was discouraged. This year thanks to the united efforts of Mr. Harriman and the boys a basket ball team was again organized and is now doing fine work. The boys practice faithfully and al- though they have not been everywhere winners they de- serve much credit and praise for their persistent efforts. At first they had a great deal of trouble to get a hall, but finally the Methodist Society let them have the old church upon condition that they would clear it out and get it ready to play in. This took several weeks, but now they have it arranged so that it is a fairly good place to play What our team needs most now is money and backing. Someone will ask, what do they need of money? The hall costs something, and when a visiting team comes to play, a place has to be provided for them to dress. When they go away car fare must be considered. Perhaps these items amount to only a trifle, but every little counts when they are trying to tight their way through their first season. W'hat is the solution of this problem? In order to have money they must have a good attendance at their games. An admission of twenty-five cents is charged. This is a small amount but it helps a good deal. Money is not the only thing the people can give, for it is the towns people who must cheer the team as the boys can not do their best unless they are cheered. 24 EASTCNIA In short we are asking for the interest of the people and their attendance atthe games. I don't think anyone can help being interested if they will come with the idea of entering into the spirit of the game and supporting the team. L. B. F.
