Box Lunch Talk: Mike Eaton, English Teacher Extraordinaire presented by Caroline Babylon

From 1938-1971, English teacher, William Granville “Mike” Eaton, commanded his classroom at Westminster High School and directed excellent theatrical productions. Eaton lived in Thelma Hoffman’s boarding house, a.k.a. Cockey’s Tavern, owned by HSCC. Caroline Babylon and Kevin Dayhoff inherited Eaton’s extensive archive, which will be set up in the Mike Eaton Room at HSCC this year. They also established the Mike Eaton Scholarship which is given each year to teachers nominated by their students. Caroline will share stories about her inspiring teacher who believed in the great potential of his students.

There is no registration for B.L.T.s. You bring your lunch, and we provide the drinks and desserts (thanks to our volunteers and staff). The cost is $3 for HSCC members and $5 for nonmembers.
