Published by the Students of the Easton High School Volume Four Eerznnnrl. With the opening of the fall term of E. H. S. carrie many changes. Our principal, Mr. Harriman, and commercial teacher, Miss Nichols, resigned in June, the former accepting the principal- ship of the High School at Machias, Maine, while Miss Nichols went to Barre, Mass., to take charge of the commercialdepartment in the High School of that town. In their places we have as principal Mr. J. S. Robinson of Pennsylvania, and Miss Margaret Guthrie of Newton, Mass. Thirteen freshmen, five ninth-gradestudents, and a special constitute the list of new pupils. Another change came in the senior class as only two ofthe five returned to Easton High. We miss these comrades of 1912 very lnuch and wish them all good luck. This leaves Easton High with forty-three lusty, energetic, and enthusiastic Americans, and one has to hear their good old boomeracka only once to he convinced of their lively spirit. Gbprning Exrrriavu. Each morning school is opened with the usual exercises led by one of the teachers and followed by the singing of a song by the school. We find the interest in these exercises to be some- what increased by means of a short, practical talk given by one of the teachers. We have also had several visiting speakers, whom we have much appreciated at our morning programme. Uhr Quiet iliulr. At the beginning of each new school year rules and regu- lations are laid out by the teachers for the pupils to obey, and usually there isa rule for preserving order before school in the morning and at recess, so that students wishing to study and Page Six. THE 1912 EASTONIA. teachers desiring to work may do so without being disturbed- This has never before this year been accomplished withsuch good success- Now, no unnecessary moving about the room is permitted and conversation can not be carried on with one, two, or three aisles away as formerly. This Quiet Rule when obeyed, of course, makes the room much more quiet and more pleasant- Ellir Evening Elahlr. The reading table which we purchased about a year ago is now well covered with magazines which we find a goodly source of pleasure as well as help in our work- Three of these magazines were subscribed for by the Theta Epsilon Society and the others given by the teachers and schoolboard. Among our excellent magazines we have the followingi Country Life in America Travel Review of Reviews Outlook Pathfinder Current Literature World's Work Everybody's The American Technical World Cloaneclj Students' Journal Current Events The various school exchanges also are placed on the reading tzIl'rlC. - ' Uhr Zllirr Earaprg A Ere escape has been placed recently on the east end of our building, and we hear that fire drills are soon to become a part of the regular programme.

Jesse Squibb Robinson, Principal of Easton High School, was born in Boston, Pennsylvania, a. small village about twenty miles from Pittsburgh's smoky region, on the 2nd day of February. 'Tis said Mr. Ground Hog saw his shadow on the day of his advent, and the long and severe winter which followed was such as Aroostook is familiar with. He is the son of George and Annie Divens Robinson. The incidents of his life are few. His early days were spent in the town of his birth, where he received his early training in the district school. Prepared for college in the McKeesport High School, from which he graduated with valedictorian honors in 1903. he started for college in the fall of 1907. The year inter- vening, he was in the business employ of the iron and steel manu- facturers, The American Sheet and Tin Plate Co-, as order clerk. Mr. Robinson entered Allegheny College, of Meadville, Pa., with the entering Freshman class of 1907. After an active college career, he received his A. B. degree in 1911, graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors, the emblem of which society is the golden key. His college course was abandoned, however, in his Senior year to accept the Principalship of the Public Schools in his home town. He came to us this fall,having been elected to several other positions in much larger high schools in the Pittsburgh district of his state- In college, he took part in the literary and dramatic interests. being a member of Quill Club and the Duzer Du Dramatic Club and first Associate Editor of the Campus ,a weekly publication. He was manager of the Allegheny annual, The Kaldron , in 19105 college reporter for the Meadville Daily Messengerug athletic reporter for the Cleveland Leader and Plain Dealer , and a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Besides an active interest in Y. W. C- A. work, Miss Hardie took extra work in two courses and specialized in Chemistry and English. Since leaving college she'has been pursuing her study of French. This is Miss Hardie's third year in Easton High School where her good work needs no further comment. CASSILENA M.

Miss Guthrie came to Easton High this year to take charge of the Commercial work, and so far has done very creditable work. We take this opportunity of expressing a hearty welcome. Qbnmiarirnrr. In the dawn of the morning, with eloudless sky, I think of God: His presence is felt in the shining world, e'en every clod Sends forth its green foliage to deck the sod. When at noontide the sun sheds its mellow light, revealing Him, His love fills my heart, for 1 feel He is near: no pathway's dim, For He shows me His will while he reigns within, In the evening of Life, when I reach the tide, why need I sigh? His spirit which guided me far and wide will still be nighg There'll be things unanswered-but God knows why. J. S. ROBINSON. Skg Zinrkrt 13211.

Although Friday is thought by superstitious people to be an unlucky day, with Easton High School it seems to be a fortunate one, for nearly every Friday we have had some visitors who have conducted the opening exercises and brought to us some helpful message. Our first visitor was Rev. Samuel Robinson, of the M. E. Church. The next week Rev. A. E- Kelley, of the F. B. Church gave an instructive talk on the History of the Bible. Rev. Clark of Westfield spoke very interestingly of the Christian Life as Applied to the Studentf, and surely everyone was greatlyinterest- ed in Rev. F. K. Gamhle's talk on Knowledge Mr. S. W. Robinson whom we are always glad to welcome was with us again Nov. 3- No less a treat was furnished by Rev- J. W. Hatch on October 18. Since he had so much to do with the school as a student and later as a teacher he was able to recall memories of the past and point out the many changes of the past twenty years. Easton High has recently been honored with the visits of Evangelist Ora Samuel Gray, and his singer, J. J- Lowe. M1- Lowels humor was greatly appreciated, and his jovial disposition made him a most agreeable guest. Mr. Gray is an orator of great power and ability. His words of friendly counsel will not soon he forgotten. The word of invitation for these two men is ever, Welcome to our cityg come up and see us. In closing we wish to extend to all readers, parents and citizens, a cordial invitation to visit our High School. We are always pleased to know that you are interested enough in us to call and see the work as it is carried on. v isas Page Fourteen. .s:1.a1.:.LQL:Ls.z Seniors. 1912. COLORS Green and White.

In the fall of 1908 four of us, youthful in appearance but to our own minds very learned, were received joyfully by the upper classmen as Freshies. The first year our high opinion of ourselves did not change much and, as is natural with all Freshmen, even those of to-day, we thought ourselves very wise and important, especially when we happened to give a correct answer, But during the first part, ofthe following or Sophomore year and what we supposed would be a soft year, our high estimation of the class- knowledge suddenly fell to earth and was shattered. For at this time there were only two of us left, one of our number having gone to Fort Fairfield High School and the other having been married. Our courage survived somewhat, however, when two new pupils joined our classin order to finish their high school course. It must have been the quality, certainly not the quantity, which led these two boys to choose our company. That year everything progressed finely and was all too quickly ended, In our Junior year our former classmate who had spent her Sophomore year in F. F. H. S, returned and as a class we found numerous school activities awaiting us. It was during this year that with the aid of some of the members of the lower classes and teachers we presented the play, The American Hustler, And in June we held our Junior Exhibition, but because of an accident in which Mr. Southard was thrown from a carriage, only our were able to carry out their parts. This fall, when the class of 1912 came blustering in there were but two Seniors left. Charles Kinney, on account of illness, was unable to come back again and is now in Hebron. Frank Malcolm is attending Ricker, and Mildred Mahaney is again at- tending Fort Fairfield High School, So, now, there remain in the Class of 1912 Leslie Southard and Dorothy Bigelow. But although our quantity may be small, we wish to remind people, the Juniors particularly, of our motto- Much in Little, D. L. B. '12. Page Seventeen. THE 1912 EASTONIA. Eluninr Exhihiiinn.

It was one September morning That across the Easton Bog Seventeen noble 'eighth grade students' To dear Easton High did plod. To take examinations 'Twas a purpose firm and grand, For they fain would enter ninth grade A proud victorious band. All day we sat and pondered, Ran our fingers through our hair, How we feared lest we should be obliged To stay out one more year! Page Twenty-One THE 1912 EASTONIA. At half past three that after-noon We all sat speechless. while Our superintendent silently Stalked up and down the aisle. Later we received announcement, When our hopes were at low mast, On a tiny slip of paper One lone word-and it was HPassed . Thus it was that the bright Juniors Launched out on their gay career, Vowing that they'd stand to-geth er Do their best that coming year. Difficult we found our lessons, Many troubles we endured, - Yet at length we came to Freshmen Very learned, to be sure. Success did not crown our efforts As it should, I must confess. Fate stepped in and cast at gloom about To mar our happiness. Here another student joined us To lend music to our' song- High School's not a. hed of roses, So she left us before long. ' Thirteen class-nmtes now it left us, In the Sophomore class we cameg Never did :L class work harder- Sonie day we shall all win fame. Yet another student greets us. Notice how they like our class? They know which crowd is the best one Among whom their lot to cast. Here we are! One year from victory! 1913 is the cry! How the faculty will grieve to see Our bunch leave Easton High!

This is the chrono- logical table of the Sophomores, the greatest class that ever happened, at least in Easton High--Listen while my mind runs back over the past two years. In the fall of 1909 seven students entered the ninth grade. Here we were put in a class with two others, and then we were ready to start on a long wearisome journey, that would probably last about five years. The first six weeks of the voyage went all right- Then storms began to cloud our course, and as a result of one' of these tempests three sailors were lost and obliged to return and begin over again. The rest of the sailing that year was smooth- At the begining ofthe next year, which was the first in our regular High School course, two of ourmates left us they had gone far enough on the journey, so they thought. Four new ones were enlisted as recruits. New obstacles began to hinder 1914's progress. These hind rauces came in the form of algebraic equations,Latin stems and roots, and English Compositions. Truly this made rough sailing! About the middle of this year another worn Voyager left our crew because of sickness. This year our class took an active part in athletics, dramatics and other out-side activities. Another dropped off, andseven lusty students took up the work of this year- This brought us back to the initial enrollment- Ofhcers have been elected for the ensuing year, one new one being added to the list. 'Colbath is the new--elected pilot. The year 1912 has just begun, launching us out on waters yet unexplored. But, having mastered the past, why not approach the future with our banner of hope Haunting in the breeze? . 1: ' lA. E. S..'14. 3 I Page Twenty-six. THE 1912 EASTONIA. iii. H. S. Sung.

The Freshman class which entered the High School in the fall of 1911 promises to be the best class that ever entered Easton High. The pupils who constitute the class came not only from the Easton Grammar School but also from many other neighbor- ing schools. Miss Dean came from the Ladner Districty Miss F- Mahaney, Miss E.

We're all planning to climb up to one some afternoon. I suppose some of the pupils, girls, as well as boys, might get their lessons better if it wasn 't for writing letters to Fort Fairfield and many other places, as well as going to dog shows when they come to town We unconsciously see in red letters the word d-i-g as we see the long lines and many pages of Cicero and Caesar. We wonder if we can ever reach them. Here's hoping! And how we are dreading to think of cramming short-hand symbols into our craniums! They're regular hiero- glyphics. Enough of this reminiscing, when we already have General History withitslong, ponderous names of crooked letters! Isn't it delightful?

On October 31, the Junior and Senior Classes of the Easton High School held a Hallowe'en Party and social in the Grange Hall. This was very prettily decorated with green and yellow crepe paper and Jack O'Lanterns. As the people entered the hall they were surrounded by ghosts and witches. These were very odd looking objects and sometimes frightened the younger visitors. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the tableau of Longfellow's famous Hiawatha. The parts were taken by members of the Junior class, who acted their roles very well. After the tableau the people gathered in the dining room where refreshments were served, which consisted of cake, coffee, sandwiches and home-made candy. The remainder of the evening was spent with games and other amusemcnts. The School Song was sung at the close of the evening, after which everybody returned home reporting a very pleasant time.

A tall hunter of athletic build, clad in rough khaki trousers, long legged nioeeasins, a bright red sweater and a small red toque, stands on the border of a deep, broad ravine, his eyes drinking in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. lt is autumn. The yellow and brown and red leaves have been swished hy the wind from the trees and now lay quiet, covering the ground like a great velvet. carpet. In front of him the preeipiee extended in sliarp relief nearly twenty feet to the edge of a hottoniless pool hehind which tall spruee and pine arose dark and somhre. Suddenly a dry twig snaps. A rustle! A crash! The hun- ter leaps hackward into the shelter of a large clump of hnshes and underlwusli. He dares not even breathe. His heart tlnnnps so wildly that to him every heat is as distinct as the tick of a clock. Mustering up all his courage he peers forth through the branches. There stands a giant bull moose, his horns spreading wide and high, his head proudly lifted as if viewing the pool below- At- tracted perhaps by an inarticulate lnurmur made by the hunter. he majestieally turns his magnificent head in that direction. The hunter is fumbling with the weapon at his side. Every moment seems like an hour- rising on one knee he takes Nairn, the moose leaps away, its nostrils dilated, its linihs quivering. The hunter appears, a. gleam in his eye, a. small hlaek leath- ern ease hugged close to his side. He had secured that for which he had so long striven---a picture. . Z. F. P. '13- Page Forty-four THE 1912 EASTON IA Natinnal Songs nf Anterira. Every nation has its national songs, which are sung on every holiday at the national celebrations by all the people, but the songs of America are to an American the most patriotic and beau- tiful When the British troops invaded Washington in 1813, the engagement began with the bombardment of Fort Henry, near the city, and was witnessed by Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and poet, who had been detained on board the British flag-ship. He was overjoyed on beholding the Hag still liying in the morn- ing and on the inspiration of the moment wrote the patriotic and stirring words of, The Star Spangled Bannern. The song became popular throughout the country- A monument was erected for Key in 1887 in honor of his beautiful song- Hail Columbia , was written by Joseph Hopkinson in 1798. An interesting story is told concerning the writing of this now famous patriotic song. War was going on between England and France. The people of the United States were divided in sympathy and the united spirit was veryfeeble- It was thought that if some- one could get a patriotic song, adapted to the tune ot Preside1rt's Marc-li , to arouse the American spirit, the people might be more united. This song succeeded in a great measure in bringing' the people together and making them independent of the other nations Julia Ward Howe was born at New York. May, 27, 1819. She became known as a writer of meritg and a leader in philan- hropic projectsl She produced her greatest work in, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, written in 1861 while she was on a'visit to the Camps near Washington. It was sung to the tune of John Brown's Body and a number of writers say it was the national an- them of the war. - . The Battle Cry of Freedom was written by George Root, an American musician. He was born at Shetiield, Mass., August 1820 and died in Maine in 1895- ,This song was instantly popular and was sung around every camp-fire, on the battle fields and in the Page Forty-five THE 1912 EASTONIA. prisons, everywhere becoming one of the most inspiring songs of the time, nerving the soldiers to be braver in suffering and have more courage in battle- Marching Through Georgia, was published in 1865, being an epic of Sherman's dreadful March to the Sea- It shows the courage of the soldier boys on long marches and how they cared for their flag. This song was written by Henry Work, an American song writer, who was born in Conn. 1832 and died in 1884. Columbia the Gem of the Ocean , or The Red, White and Blue , as it was called later was also written about this time and was sung by soldiers when they were saluting the flag, Old Glory. Tenting on theQOld Camp Ground, another song of the Civil War, was written while the author was preparing to go to battle. It was sung around the camp-fire at night after the sol- diers had made their day's march, A few years after the dark Civil war, the song. Angel of Peace , was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, and sung at the National Peace J ubilee, in Boston, June 15, 1869. One of I-Iolmes's classmates at Harvard College was Samuel Smith. In 1842 he became a minister, but later he devoted him- self to making music a specialty. His greatest song is, My Coun- try 'Tis ofThee, which is generally considered America's national anthem. This song was adapted from the English national anthem, God Save the King, and was first sung at a Sunday-School celebration in the Park Street Church, Boston, July 4, 1832. Home, Sweet Home, was first sung in London. The author, who was all his life a wanderer, has been called, The homeless bard of home, but as he did not have any home, every state which hepassed through made him at home because they loved to hear his beautiful song. These are some of the best-known and most-loved songs of America, and should be taught in all the schools, so that every scholar should know them, They should be sung also by every American citizen in the land, as they help to make the national spirit greater and instil a feeling of patriotism and love for our country, America.

She was a great worker herself and brought the children up to do their share- One morning she overslept and got up only in time to have breakfast and get the children off for school. Where's my book, Maggie? cried Tim Murphy as he jump- ed up from the breakfast table and started for school- Oh,don't bother me I gotter get my hair combed, said his sister Maggie. Well! you had it last night. I saw it in the other room on the desk, sighed Tim- Ma, do you know where my book is? he cried again as he ran through the hall. Ye,s it's on the table-take it and get out of my way. Ma, can you comb my hair now? cried Maggie as the five minute bell rang for school. No, comb it yourself. I'm dressing the twins. N Poor Maggie after much struggling and manyimpatient words managed to get it up in some way. Mrs. Murphy got the twins, Lucinda and Fininda, dressed and a bow of bright red ribbon tied on the red hair of one and a bow of bright green tied on the red hair of the other and sent them oi? to play rejoicing at the sight of each other's new ribbons. ' Mrs,Murphy now went about her work with great swiftness and began at the top of the tenementhouse to sweep and washed dishes and as it was Monday she must wash and cook. She began to wash and when nearly through a knock at the door called her and she found an old peddler asking for rubbers. He, being in no great hurry and rather good natured, sat down on the piazza steps and began to talk. She stopped and talked a. while and then was suddenly attracted by the smell of rubber burn- ing. She ran into the house and found one of Lucinda's rubbers all burned. ' If Lucinda don't hear from me when she gets home, no matter, She said to herself as she went back to finish her washing. Page Forty-seven THE 1912 EASTONIA. She was scrubbing the iloor when she heard a, great commotion in the street- She ran to the window to see what all the noise was about and seeing a horse running away started out the door, slip- ped and fell and upset the pail of scrub water. She did not stop for this,however but ran as fast as she could to the scene of disaster. When she returned about half an hour later she found the children home from school and the floor she had partly washed- covered with rubbers, coats and hats. Poor Mrs-Murphy's patience was nearly exhausted when she saw this and she set Tim to work at once picking up the collateral and Maggie to getting the scanty meal. This was eaten with much haste and before the meal was over a man came to the door asking Mrs. Murphy if she could come and wash for his wife that afternoon. . Mrs. Murphy was much disgusted and said, I think your wife is as well able to work as I am and just because old Tim Murphy didn't get quite as much money you-I have to work for youf, Oh, I beg your pardon Pm sure, Mrs. Murphy, butI thought you might want a chance to earn a litle extra money, said the man rather shyly, ' Oh, you neednlt bother to say anything, l'Il be over pretty Soon. Everyone knew Mrs. Murphy and that she was quite apt to say things hastily which she did not mean, so did not take offense. r Now Maggie hurry, youve got to do the work and get the girls off to play. 1'm going over to the Greene's to wash. Have I gotter do it, Ma? said Maggie, anxiously pleading off. Yes, now hurry up. As she said this she went out the door to go to Mrs, Greene's. Maggie did the work up and after much hesitation was off to school. That afternoon it seemed as if everything would go wrong with Mrs, Murphy and as she was not feeling very good natured Page Forty-eight THE 1912 EASTONIA it seemed as if everything went worse than usual. First the fire wouldn't burn andthe wood she had was wet. She poked the fire and scolded and sputtered to herself and then the baby threw her teddy-bear into the tub of hot suds and came to her to have it rescued, This did not make her feel any better natured and when she was asked by little Johnnie Greene to get him a piece of bread and with molasses ou. it, gave him a slap instead and sent him off crying, Now, I guess I'll get this done. she sighed as she sent him off, But alas! poor Mrs. Murphy was not to be left alone that day for as she was hanging out the clothes the line broke. It would not be kind to repeat what she said but with the help of a kind old man who happened to be there it was soon replaced and the washing done. Mrs. Greene, being rather a generous woman, pitied Mrs. Murphy and thinking she had a hard time, gave her ten cents more than she asked for washing. This pleased Mrs. Murphy very much and as she went home it seemed to her that she didn't have a care in the world but when Lucinda, Fininda, Maggie and Tim all got home that night I dare say Mrs. Murphy changed her opinion at little as to cares D, M, S, '14, A Calgriatmaa Iiarapahr It was the night before Christmas and most of the girls had gone home for the holidays, but there were some who were unable to go and they were looking forward to a very dull Christmas. Kitty Pembroke who was noted as the mischief-maker of the school sat in her room alone, looking very lonesome. She had intended to go home but her younger sister had taken sick with the scarlet-fever and as Kitty had never had it she could not go. Oh! dear, she cried, how shall I ever get through this week? I wish I had something to do . Page Forty-nine THE 1912 EASTONIA. Just then one of schoolmates entered. Hello, Kitty , she said, you look lonesome-what is the matteru? Matter, said Kitty, I should think there was matter enough. Here we are cooped up in this old dormitory' while all the rest of the girls are havinga good time at home. And Kitty looked very much like crying. Come, cheer up , said Alice, we will have some fun yet. Let's plan a lark for tomorrow night. We will invite the other girls into my room and we will have a great feast, They are go- ing to send me a box from home and we can buy some things be- sides , But the principal won't let us , said Kitty. The principal will be away for tomorrow night and only the assistants will be here. We will wait until they go to bed before we begin. Well , said Kitty, I'll do it , All right let's go and invite the girls right now , The next night about nine o' lock four girls were to be seen stealing quietly out of their rooms and going to Elsie Pai-ker's, They were received joyfully by Elsie and Kitty and when they began to look around they saw that the furniture was entirely re- arranged, the study-table was in the middle of the room loaded with good things, The small chicken was lying in state in the wash bowl which had been washed out very clean for this pur- pose and the water pitcher contained lemonade, The pin trays and other dishes contained pickles and various entrees. The girls all sat down around the table and began to partake of the good things and such a feast as they had. They had nearly finished the desert when Kitty remembered that she had left the cookies in her room and started after them. She reached her room and got the cookies all right but when she was coming back she heard one of the teachers coming, The only available place in which she could conceal herself was a near-by closet and she hurried in shutting the door. They kept very still untillthe teach- Page Fifty THE 1912 EASTONIA er was was almost by, then she straightened up. In so doing she struck a pile of books and knocked them down. They fell with a loud crash and the next moment the door was opened by the teacher, She asked Kitty what she was doing there and Kitty was about to make some excuse when the girls came running out of their room to see what was the matter and then of course the whole story had to be told. Thc teacher said that she would tell the principal about it the next morning. But that night she had to go home and she was unable to return so no one heard of the girls' Christmas feast. .ilane Svnuitlfn 'dlliankngining It was the day before Thagksgiving, when turkeys were high, a fact which these crafty birds it seemed well understood, since they were determined to roost up high where it 'was almost im- possible for anybody to steal them. i A negro by the name of Jack Jonson started out one night in search of a turkey for his Thanksgiving dinner. He came to the home of a neighbor where a number of turkeys were roosting in a tree- He looked at them a moment wondering how he was to get them, and then began climbing the tree. After considerable difficulty he reached the top, caught a big gobbler by the legs,fast- ened them securely with a cord, and joyously descended, As ho reached the ground the sound of a slamming door and of a voice exclaiming Burglars reached his ears. He started on the run for a fence behind the house, and as he tumbled over it, he heard the patter of feet behind him, followed by the report of a gun. On he ran down the road searching on all sides for a place to hide or escape from his pursuer but without succcssg for the faster he ran the louder came the sound of the patter and at last the report of a gun sounded close behind him. He was now ap- proaching a group of houses and was afraid of being caught, since he was nearly overcome by fatigue- So as he passed the first open- Pagc Fi ity-one THE 1912 EASTONIA . ing, without stopping he threw the turkey in and ran on. He reached home very tired and disappointed. He was now safe but upon thinking of the danger he had undergone and of stealing the turkey, many things presented themselves to his mind, and he wondered especially what had become of his turkey. As his mind dwelt on this matter he felt that he ought to do something to offset this crime, so he collected a quantity of pota- toes and vegetables and carried them to the house of awidow, Jane Smith. She was very thankful for them and in order to show her gratitude invited' him to spend Thanksgiving dinner with her. Thanksgivng day was clear and cool and just before noon Jack made his way to Mrs. Smitlfs house where he was received very cordially. As they sat down to dinner she began to explain to him how Providence had bestowed upon her a Thanksgiving dinner not only of potatoes and vegetables, but also of a large fat turkey which she had found upon the floor of the kitchen that morning. Jonson then explained to her how the turkey had reached her home, and his mind was put to rest as he thought it had not been much of a crime after all, since by so doing he had assisted Provi- dence- A Grip in Thr Northwest. On August lst, 1911, I started on a trip of about 1,180 to the Northwest, bound for Alberta, Canada. I went out on the harvest excursion. After I arrived I worked twenty-two days threshing wheat for Albert Lovejoy whose farm contained about 1,160 acres- The grain was threshed with a gasoline engine of about 20 horse-power and there was a large blower to take away the straw- After it was threshed I helped to haul it -to the mill in Winnipeg, the largest city in Alberta- The tires of the wagon on which the grain was hauled were about eight inches wide, so that the wheels wouldn't sink into the ground. There were four span of horses on each wagon and six or seven wagons in the field. ' ' Page Fifty-two Q: THE 1912 EASTONIA - After the grain was threshed and hauled to the millI was sent there to help get grain groundg this took about thirty-two days and after it was ground I was told to load the flour on the cars. About half was shipped to the United States and sold to some Hour dealer at Winnipeg at 352.75 a barrel. Then I was put to work plowing with a large two-weeled plow which I drove four horses abreast- The furrows were seven miles long and I could just get out and back in the forenoon. The horses that I drove on the plow weighed between eighteen and twenty hundred and were all a dark color. When I finished plowing for this fellow he had no more work for me and he paid me up and I went to the station and bought my ticket for Kilburn, New Brnuswick. I took a sleeper and pulled through without getting off to change cars. The train had two big wheeled engines and between 125 and 175 cars of freight and went at the rate of fifty-five miles per hour. On the third day of the trip in the afternoon I reached Kil- burn and was at home. E. M. L., 1915. Einphania nn Retail The first glimpse of fall comes when the hot summer days begin to have afar-oif sleepy look, the bees drone lazily at their work, and twilight comes a little earlier than it did in summer, When we look again there can be no mistake that fall is really here, The trees have been transformed from green into gorgeous colors, and crimson predominates both in foliage and flower. The great apple orchards are borne low with the weight of their fruits, and yellow pumpkins warn us that the last of October is near. The bluebirds gather themselves into flocks, and are busy makin g preparation for their long journey. They no longer glint in the sun, but their once beautiful hues are now dull and dusty.

Thompson and P. L. Dodge Right Guard Russell Gower SUBSTITUTES. Fay White, Kenneth Colbath and Leon Keegan Athletics should be practiced in every school. They develop the body and also help the mind, for everyone knows that contin- ual plugging at books is hurtful to a person, but let that same person get out and get the air, play a game of basket-ball or take some other good exercise and he will have better work in school and will also be stronger and more rugged. If these exercises do not do any good why, is it that all the large schools of the world re- quire their students to receive this training? There are many dif- ferent kinds of exercise practised in the large schools, but even in a small school where there is no money to start a. gymnasium there is no reason why the students should not get exercise. Let the boys get out and start a Basketball Team, or in summera Base- ball Team- For every boy enjoys these games and almost every one else enjoys watching theni. ' Our school here is small and there are not enough boys who play Baseball or Football to get up such teams but there are enough who play Basket Ball and they have made a begining. Last year was not a. very successful one but we gained much valuable exper- Page Fifty-nine THE 1912 EASTONIA ience and as this year we have several new players we think that with the support and good will of the town and the loyal co-opera- tion of every member of the High school, a team will be put out which every one will be proud of. As we said above we have some new playersg B. Thompson, our substitute last year and Dodge, a Freshmen, take the position of guards in place of Malcolm and Kinney who left at the end of their Junior yearg Kinney on account of sickness and Malcolm because he wanted to attend a larger school. Cumming, who can hardly be called a new man- as he was with us last year until he hurt his ankle, is with us again as center- The first game of the season, which was played with Presque Isle Normal Training School in our hall, ended in a victory for us by a score of 20-7, Southard our crack player did some great work shooting and 'Tumrning also played a good game, The referees were Mae Pherson for Easton and Hall for Presque Isle, The next game was played with the Presque Isle High School on Dec. 9, in their hall, Here we met defeat by a score of 14-8, The first half was quite close, the score being 5-3 in favor of Presque Isle while at one time during the last half the outcome seemed rather doubt- ful bnt the tide soon changed and they were out of all danger of defeat. Here also Southard played a good game, while W. Thomp- son did good work shooting fouls. For Presque Isle Rolfe made some great shots from a distance. The last game of the term was played December 15 at Presque Isle. This contest also ended in a victory for us, score being li'-12. At the end of first half it could not he said that either team had the advantage as the score was 5-4 in favor of Presque Isle, but the next half things changed and our men piled them in so quickly that you might say they went in two at a time. Here W. Tll0ll'lDSOU,S shooting was afeature of the game- At Caribou, the boys died hard. The score at the end of the first half was 7 to 6, but the Caribou players camein strong in the second half, resulting in 1132 to8tally. A. C. I.'s hobby is, who's the referee? They came up on the 12th of Jan., and we Page Sixty THE 1912 EASTONIA humoured them. They played a fast game tho, and beat us 22 to 14. The Presque Isle game on Feb. 2nd at Presque Isle came out in their favor 21 to 12. These boys have given Easton the fairest treatment of any of the league teams. It does us good to boost them. Easton on the 15th of Feb. played their most exciting display of basketball at the Fort. The first half ended 12-7 in Easton's favorg the final whistle was 22-21, in favor of Fort Fairfield. This was a fast game from beginning to end. The next one was a speedy one, too. It was on the home Hoor with Bridgewater. When the whistle blew, it was a tie score, 21-21. In another minute's additional playing B. C. I. made a spectacular additional shot from the center of the hall which resulted in victory. On Feb. 23 A. C. I. defeated us at Mars Hill 24-9, and Washburn 46-12 at Washburn on March lst. Easton defeated Presque Isle here.17-12 on March 15. Good playing on both sides made it an interesting match. Bean's shooting, and Gower-'s guarding were featuresg Graves and Powers excelled for Presque Isle. At Bridgewater on March 25 Easton lost 28-3, The fellows couldn't hit the basket. This leaves Fort Fairfield to play on March 295 also the two postponed games with Washburn and Caribou . Although our place in the League last year was at the foot we did not get discouraged but have entered upon this year's camp- aign with fresh vigor and high hopes. The record made is very creditable. Following is schedule for the League gamesg Cl'he home school is mentioned first in each case when the game is played on the date first mentioned, the reverse is true when the game is played on tl1e second date.l Jan, 5, 1912 .Feb, 22, 1912 Caribou Vs.

May we here offer a plea for alumni information. Our facil- itiesifor obtaining authentic news as to the whereabouts and other matters of interest concerning the graduates of Easton High are very limited and inadequate. Will every loyal son and daughter of E, H. Sffeel the obligation of communicating with those in charge of the Eastonia personally or by letter in order that we may keep more closely in touch with those who help to make the name of our school bright? We will deem it a personal favor if you will, Mr, Alumnus. you owe it to the place where you received your early trainingg Miss or Mrs, Alumna, here is a way to show your loyalty to the Gray and Blue, , May we hear from you-and often, Address all communic- ations to Mr, Carlton Landers, Easton, Maine, Exrhangea. V The Eastonia is glad to pay its compliments to the paper pub- lished by the Bangor High School- It is the best of its kind to reach us so far- We congratulate you on your worthy efforts. Among our exchanges we would pass out the following medals! For good proportion and frankness of exchange criticism, The Oracle . For good personals, The Nautilus - For good wholesome humor, The Salniagundif' For neat make-up of material, The H, C. I. Scroll. The Eastonia offers these few friendly criticismsi- The Aquilo 'might use a few more pictures to good advan- tage. The Breeze has several commendable features, but lacks originality. The Salmagundiv would do well to inspire a poetand bright- en its pages with beauty of rhyme. The Coburn Clarion ought not to slight its alumni so un- reasonably. The Spokesman , of Erie CPa-D High School, would make its Page Seventy-seven H ' THE 1912 EASTONIA paper more attractive by abandoning the newspaper style of double columns with small type. The L. H. S. Quarterly and The Racquetn are creditable papers, and deserve praise-worthy mention. The Eastonia welcomes among its exchange list the following college publications which we hesitate to criticise: ' 'The Bowdwin Orient, The Colby Echo, The Maine Carnpusgu 'The Bates Student, The Campus and The Lit. Monthly, of Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa- May we urge all other papers to put us on your exchange list. We would appreciate it very much. Many creditable and commendable things have appealed to The Eastoniau as excellent evidence of real literary ability. Our space is getting limited and we are obliged to make our comments brief and pointed. Later, perhaps, we may be able to put out more than one number a year. Grebe H.

Qbur ijitrrarg Snrirtg. y Last year the teachers and pupils of our high school organized a literary society for the purpose of teaching the pupils more about the authors and poets and at the same time making them more accustomed to reciting. At each meeting a committee was elected to get up a program for the next one and each member was asked to contribute something to make the program interesting. At the first meeting in November we elected our officers, then there was a short program which included the reading of the con- stitution. One night the teachers had charge of the program and only the scholars were invited. After playing games for a while we were blindfolded and led four at a time into one of the class-rooms where we were initiated. Later refreshments were served and then we played games until it was time to go home. Duringthe winter the society met regularly, the programs were always interesting and the meetings well attended. A membership fee of twenty-five cents a term was charged and at the end of the year we had a 'small amount in the treasury. This we expended for some good papers and magazines for the school reading table which we use in our school work. Therefore we are still reaping the results of our society. Although we enjoyed the meetings and we see that they have helped us in a great many ways,still there are many improvements to be made. Last year everybody was admitted, but we believe it would be better this year to have just the members of the socie- ty or perhaps to let each member invite one or two friends. An- other thing that we would criticise in our society is that it met too often, thus necessitating a great deal of work on this one thing and leaving no time for other out-side work which we also enjoy. We suggest that perhaps once a month would he often enough- Other improvements might be made in the programsg for example in- stead of having so many plays and dialogues more recitations and music would be a welcomed change- But as last year was only our first attempt we think that we have done well and this year we hope to accomplish more and to have better results.

Just as we are going to press, the news of its success comes as at fitting l'envoi Here is an account of itin brief. An unusually large crowd greeted the performers. The caste given in another part of the book, was composed of the members of the two upper classes, one Freshman and one Sophomore. The roles were distributed to appropriate persons. Miss Mary E- Hardie furnished several piano selections, and was accompanist of the evening, while Mrs, P. L. London sung two very beautiful solos. . ' From the moment the curtain rose, till it fell on the closing scene the interest was kept alive and at fever heat- The audience was responsive and appreciative, and clearly showed that they enjoyed every bit of it. Every character, male and female, was a star. It would be difficult indeed to pick out any one who excelled the rest. ' The students were coached hy Principal J. S. Robinson with the help of the otherlteachers. They feel highly gratified with the results of their many hours of drill work. g et .iw e ef eg ,A i ix i ,sq B : Page Eighty-one 4 5' f pl Wf4fQf ' 'K R qi fy I 'Sx V 1 Wg 5 -, if J lk f mf-gf 4' E ig 'A DQNT QE N U - F f i ff 6--fivgiy at V V if ' ,SE Qui' , f ff I Z .
