we got 'Pache saddled. Pete climbed on, and that's about all. 'Pache hardly got started before Pete was off, and Pete's considered a pretty good rider, too. He looked sort of foolish and surprised when he walked over to us. Then Montana spoke for the first time since we saddled 'Pache. You boys mind if I try to ride that horse? he asked. Nope, nobody cared, so we caught him and blinded him again. Let'er buck, he yelled, and scratched 'Pache as Pete pulled the blind. 'Pache went off like a steel trap. If any of us had expected to see Montana piled in those first few bucks, he was disappointed. Montana stuck! Talk about ride-that man could ride circles around anything I ever saw. And buck? That horse did everything any horse ever did before, and then some. And the way we yelled. Old Bill was just a whoopin,' and the rest of us were not far behind. It lasted about five minutes. Then the yelling suddenly stopped. 'Pache had reared and gone over backwards, crushing Montana under him. It is now a year since we carried Montana into camp, a horribly broken man. But he was only broken, not beaten. For here he was, the same tall, brown, quiet old Montana, with the slow, rare smile, preparing to again ride the hoofed demon that had so narrowly missed his life a year ago. He was in the saddle now. 'Pache just stood still and quivered when the blind was pulled, only this time it was rage, not fright, that made him quiver. Boys, Pm going to break him, or else he'll break me said Montana, and then he raked 'Pache. The horse started harder than ever before, but Montana stuck. We were all yelling at the top of our voices. Ten minutes passed. It seemed like hours had gone by. Our yelling had slowly died out. There was something too ominous-too deadly-about this heart-breaking battle between that hoofed Satan and the big, quiet man, to permit yelling. They were going faster. 'Pache's first efforts to throw this man, who seemed to have grown to his back, were doubled. Twice in the next few minutes he reared up as if to go over backwards, only to turn like a cat and land on his feet, pitching and spinnifng harder than ever. He was bucking as he never did before. Three-quarters of an hour passed. -God-would he never stop? Then, as quickly as it had started, it ended. 'Pache seemed to throw everything into a last, mighty jump. He went high into the air with a heart-rending scream, and came down with his legs apart. He stood quivering, and as he stood, Montana slowly reeled and fell from the saddle, never to move again. Even as he fell, 'Pache's knees doubled under him, and he fell over on his side. He gave a last defiant, convulsive struggle, and was still. An hour later Bill and I walked over to where 'Pache lay. There he was, a great dead mass, that only an hour before had been an erupting volcano of live and un- conquerable spirit. I looked at Old Bill. I think his eyes were wet, but I'm not sure, because I looked through a considerable mist myself. Anyhow, his voice sounded husky. God-But wasn't he a real horse tho? was all his said. We looked again. He lay with head thrown back and one front foot raised, un- conquerable and defiant even in death. HENRY GUTTE, June '20. Pf14fSix the Qlnznrn

Class History 3 OUR YEARS AGO, in July, 1916, the present High Senior Class, then the biggest and best Freshman Class that ever entered here, made its appear- ance in the Alameda High School. Very early in the term, the class organized and elected the following officers: President, Russell Knowland: Vice-President, Maybelle Worthen: Secretary, Jean Hunt: Editor, Louise Hanley: Class Representatives, Melita Hutt and John McKean. At this time there began among the members of the class their continual strong interest in school activities, as was shown by the candy sale that was held to swell the Motion Picture Machine Fund. In the High Freshman term the officers were: President, Kruger Dunbar, Vice- President, Jean Hunt: Secretary, Elinor Gutsch: Editor, Grace-Marion Elster: Repre- sentatives, Melita Hutt and John McKean. Another candy sale was held, this time to pay for a page in the 'fAcorn. The Low Sophomore officers were as follows: President, John McKean: Vice- President, Margaret Spruanceg Secretary, George Clark: Editor, Kruger Dunbar: Representatives, Russell Knowland and Angie Perry. The officers for the High Sophomore term were: President, William Spruanceg Vice-President, Melita Hutt: Secretary, Colby Tarleton: Editor, Margaret Spruancc. A very successful party with entertainment and dancing was held at the home of Dorothy Tabor. It was in this term that Miss Blanche DuBois became our class advisor. Owing to the influenza epidemic, the Low Junior term was very much broken up. Nevertheless, the class organized under the following officers: President, Colby Tarleton: Vice-President, Dorothy Tabor: Secretary, Christian Snead: Representa- tives, Thelma Burg and Kruger Dunbar: and the class pin, a small acorn surrounded with pearls, was chosen. In the High Junior term the following officers were elected: President, Chris- tian Snead, Vice-President, Grace-Marion Elster: Secretary, George Clark: Editor, Dorothy Tabor. A successful prom .was given under the management of Christian Snead, and Russell Knowland managed a movie show given to start a fund with which to purchase scenery for productions given by the school. The Class was unusually active under the administration of the following offi- cers in the Low Senior term: President, Cyril Smith, Vice-President, Edwina Osborne: Secretary, Kenneth Ward: Representatives, Dorothy Tabor and Christian Snead. The class colors, green and gold, were chosen at the first meeting. Early in the term, the girls of the class gave an enjoyable and successful reception to the Low Freshman girls. The Senior Play, Green Stockings, was coached by Fred Carlyle, and managed by Christian Snead, and was in every way a great success. In December the class entertained the members of the graduating class of January, 1920, with a cabaret supper at Haight School. The last event of the term was a candy sale. The officers chosen for the High Senior term were: President, Russell Know- land, Vice-President, Elinor Gutschg Secretary, Stewart Menzies: Editor, Saima Koski. Early in the term the boys purchased their class hats which were of gray felt trimmed with a gold band. The Senior Vaudeville, which was given in May, proved to be one of the successful events of the term. The main activity of the semester was the publication of the Acorn, which we hope everyone will enjoy. Now the class is looking forward to the Senior Dance and to the final event of its High School career, graduation. S. K., June '20. Pagfmhf EDB Htnttt
