Guy Martin '12 attended O. A. C. until he became more learned than the professors and then accepted a position in an asbestos house in Portland. When last heard of Merle Tidd '11 was in California. , Manette Hanson '12 taught a three months school at Hoskins, Oregon, and then taught another three months school south of Corvallis. Earl Kingsley '12 wishes to have it known that since he has gone to college he has become a non-fusser. Special reasons will be furnished upon inquiry. Frederick Beck, our first alumni baby, entered the school of life on November 8th, 1912. His mother, who was Miss Edith Whiting graduated with the '11 classg and on February 18th, 1912, Was married to Harry Beck, a former member of the same class. Bertha McHenry '12 and Bernice Chambers '12 are at home now. Miss McHenry was employed as stenographer at O. A. C. during the first part of the year. Merle Hathaway '12 taught a six months' school at Hoskins, Oregon. Merle must be quite a school marm by this time. Since Casey Jones met his fate Earl Kintner '11 has taken his place and is now employed by a railroad company in Carrollton, Ohio. Winnie King '11 is employed at Waldo Hall. A person might think some of the Alumni students were taking post work at the High School by the way they stay around there, but we simply can not stay away. Everett Taylor '12 has returned to the soil this spring. He was em- ployed by the Glafke Commission Company during the winter. Mildred Ollis '12 is teaching a two months school at Ocean View, Ore- gon. We exj ect to have her with us for our banquet. Grace Corbett '12 is employed at Attorney Glos's oiiice. Anna Fielder '12 taught a six months' school on Kiger's Island, south of Corvallis, this winter.

'hr Alumni Aaanriatinng ff-xfe The Alumni Association is the only tangible link between the Corvallis High School and its graduates. It is the library in which are stacked away the works and memories of each class, the volumes of which will be taken down and reviewed, at certain intervals by each member of the organ- ization. Thus the Association lives largely as a memory though it may Work to the betterment of its members and that of the school when it has grown sufficiently to permit broader activities. At the present time the Association can not boast because of its size but it has annual seasons of growth. Once each year its membership in- creases by the Graduating Class, and, unlike those of the High School, its members never graduate. Whatever talent the High School may at any time possess will finally pass to the Alumni Association to remain there. At the annual election held soon after the banquet given to the Class of '12, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President-Ralph Hollenberg. l Vice-President-Pearl Newton-Tallman. Secretary-Bertha McHenry. Treasurer-Etta Adams. ' ALUMNI NOTES. There are thirteen members of the Alumni in attendance of some col-- lege, university or normal school at the present time.

An occurrence that did not surprise any of us came to pass June lst, 1912, when Grace Houck '11 and Harry Fegley, a former High School stu- dent, were united in marriage. Daughter, called the father from his position at the top of the stairs, at the well-known hour of 11:55 p. m., doesn't that young man know how to say good-night ? Does he ?', echoed Bertha in the darkened liallg well, I should say he does. On April 7th, 1913, Cupid completed that which he began five or six years ago when Mary Leonard '11 married Edward Bilyeu, an ex-'11. They now reside at Tigard, a suburb of Portland. V When Pearl Newton '12 and Percy Tallman, former '12, became so in- fatuated with each other five years ago, many of us thought, There's many a slip betwixt cup and lip,, but not so in this case, for they were married October 26th, 1912, and lived happily ever after. Greeting to the Class of l9l3 We give you, the Senior Class of Corvallis High School, 1913, a hearty Welcome. We can sympathize with the hardships and trials which you have had to overcome, your feelings of discouragement, your times of triumph, your short-lived defeats. We, too, have fought the fight. We, too, have been crowned with laurel, and have lived through the eventful days of graduation. We are glad to welcome your young enthusiasm and appreciation and we ask your hearty cooperation in making this Alumni Association a strong and helpful influence for good in this community. Scatter seeds of helpfulness all along the way, Kindly thoughts and words and deeds brighten all the day, Life is full of little stings, Heal them While you may- Hearts are gladdened by a smile, tho' the skies be gray.
