Drusilla Enos left us in the, first semester. Her loss was replaced by Blanche Hickey from Roseville. Our class presented Miss Stephenson with a silver compact at Christmas time. During the second semester our class was increased, as Philip Koeler came from Grass Valley, Carmen Pery and Sebastian Hernandez both arrived from Sun' nyvale. Olive Lawson resigned as treasurer and Evelyn Guisti was elected in her place. With the aid of Miss Stephenson, we gave a Costume Dance, March 11, which was a success financially and socially. At the present we have the honor of being the largest class in the school, with a total number of thirtyfthree. This year has been a very successful one to us, and we hope to continue our success next year, always remembering our motto: Impossible is UnfAmerican. LA PERITA 'Y l 9 2 7 Twenty-.seven

6, N, Qgiggggli-- ' ' Q in--'M ff V17 ' f '1 I A The Romance of Curfew Edna Mason, '29 I NE bright morning in June when the four o'clock local pulled away from the station at Curfew, it left behind a young woman of about twentyffive years. She was slightly above the average height, but slender and lithe. Her hair was wavy with the slightest hint of gold in it. Her eyes were l ' big and blue and trusting, and two mischievous dimples could be seen when she smiled. She registered at the hotel as Miss jahala Chandler. lt was soon passed around that she was going to open a lunch room where the old saloon had been. The opening day was a big success, and jahala, with her ready smile and win' ning ways, soon held an important place in many masculine hearts. Her flock of admirers was steadily increasing. Amorous youths daily ate more and more at the lunch room and sat sighing deeply as they choked down the food they did not want, while they gazed wistfully after the graceful figure. The village doctor watched his business grow, and most new cases were of indigestion. Even slow, steady Clarence Seeds was seen plodding along, dreaming. The most astonishing conquest of all was that of the Tjaldeen boys, Charles and Erving, two sturdy bachelors, honest, hardfworking, and faithful. Each knew the other was smitten by the glances from those sparkling blue eyes and they both became sullen, suspicious, jealous rivals for Jahala's favor. There were numerous requests for her hand, To each suitor she replied with a sad sweet smile and a slow negative nod. However, the crisis came on Thanks' giving. It had been whispered that jahala was to have a birthday on the twenty' fourth, and suddenly all the young fellows of the village had business in the neighboring towns and would leave early in the morning before anyone was up and return late at night. The auspicious day arrived. Charles Tjaldeen sat impatiently waiting to speak a private word with his lady love. just now she was talking to William Harrison in the back room of the store. At last he had gone, and Charles hastened forward. Slowly he leaned across the counter, pulled out a tiny box from an inner pocket, and with many blushes presented it to Miss Chandler. IfIfI heard that yfyou have afa bifbirthday today, he stammered, Nanfand l brought yfyou a p-present. gngqfii . lL1'f Ykwnfx'
