THE 1912 EASTONIA. iii. H. S. Sung. TUNE: Drink to Me Only With Thine Eye: Above the valley, on the hill Of Easton's sun-kissed town, Proudly there stands, and facing south. The High School, looking down. To us there seems no place so fair, We praise her to the skyg Loud do we shout out everywhere For our own Easton High. ' We love the spot where we have spent Full many a precious dayg The memories of our High School life Shall never fade away. Thy stately halls, thy pretty walls, O'er hung with Nature's art, Shed a rich fragrance on the air, Sweet perfume for the heart. Traditions of thy past we hold With sacred loyalty, The lives of all our students true We test by friendship's key, The teachers all we laud to-day, Our shouts shall reach the sky, And, in clear accents, sounding far, Re-echo, Easton High .

' THE 1912 EASTONIA. Eiatnrg- nf the Qilaaa nf 1914. 1914! Even yet it seems a great way off. 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.
