On June 3, Easton High School held its annual Class Night. It went very well, as compared to baccalaureate. Each class president wished the Class of 2009 well and made a few brief remarks, with the exception of Luke Budreau, Junior Class president (2010). Luke composed a poem for the class of 2009 which he read. It was humorous and kept everyone laughing. There were many awards given in different classes. We have a lot of smart young people in Easton. We are proud of each one of you.

Jackie Condon and her daughter, Shelley McLean, along with Shelly’s son, Morgan, made a surprise visit to Norman, Okla., on May 15. They went to visit Jackie’s daughter Tina, who graduated with a 4.0 from the College of Arts & Science within the University of Oklahoma with her master’s degree in human relations. Tina, who is married to a former Mars Hill resident Wade Henderson, also works for the University of Oklahoma in the Education Abroad Office coordinating exchange students’ programs for the international students who come to OU for short-term educational stays. Wade and Tina have one son, Logan, who is 17 and will be a senior this fall. During their visit Jackie, Shelley and Morgan were given a tour of the massive OU campus, shopped, met some of Tina’s international students, visited local malls and enjoyed some family time. A good time was had by all and, if time allows, Tina, Wade and Logan would like to come back to Maine during the winter because it has been almost eight years since they have seen any snow over two inches’ accumulation.
Prom night for the Easton Class of 2009 went very well. It was held at the Northeastland Hotel in Presque Isle. Leslie Carlow was the DJ for the evening.

They were all tired the next day, but that’s part of being a teenager.
