The Periscope PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL DALLAS, POLK COUNTY, OREGON itiiWMiuiiiiiimimii JUNE, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ■ At JJartimv By the old LaCreole river looking westward to the hills, There’s a good old schoolhouse standin’ and it makes me have the chills To think of all the parting that will come the eighth of June, Many friendships may be severed; Ah yes, severed all too soon! Friends we’ve been this past four years, And at parting there’ll be tears; For we’ve learned to love each other and to greet our school with cheers, Oh! You friends of these few years; Let us give three rousing cheers For the school we love so dearly, and will love in coming years. At the railroad bridge I’m standing taking one last long survey; And I see a scene I’ll ne’er forget no matter where I stray: The yellow bricks, the bright red roof, the velvet lawn so green, Two mighty pines in front I see; the entrance walk between: Soon ’twill be the close of day, The sun begins to slant it’s ray, Every tennis court is occupied; the games are in full sway, Still I linger by the way Enjoy the scene here while I may, Close by at hand sedately looms the castle tall and grey. Then I muse o’er what has happened in these joyous High School days, I think of every teacher; how I’ve learned to love their ways; Of fun we’ve had, of knowledge gained since we were Freshmen green, How we entered into things with High School spirit keen: Many, many other things, Come flocking in my mind and sings These were very, very happy days but time takes flight with wings; As I rise my memory clings, To all the friends our school life brings, We must part I realize well but still around my heart it stings. Fellow classmates as we’re parting, oh I know each one feels sad, Each one knows the reason why, but still we should feel very glad; We’re a happy thriving class and we will be there thirty strong, We haven’t many days to spend here so lets fill them full of song: Let’s make the best of time that dates From now until we’re graduates, Though our High School days are numbered we are captains of our fates; See that fortune well instates; As we enter through the gates Can’t you feel that Opportunity with Fortune for us waits?

Page 7 THE PERISCOPE THE PERISCOPE Page 8 Page 9 THE PERISCOPE (Our Jforultii Professor W. I. Ford graduated from Dallas College in 1905, and has been employed in the Dallas Schools most of the time since, beginning his professional career in the North Dallas Public School and gradually ascending to his present position, Superintendent of City Schools. It is sufficient to say that under his able direction, our schools have increased in size and efficiency, and have attained higher standards than have ever been known before in the history of Dallas. His work in the promotion and development of all branches of the Public School and High School is commended by all. Professor H. H. Dunkelberger taught in the public schools of Pennsylvania for three years and then entered Albright College, Myerston, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1902, with a degree of Bachelor of Arts, later receiving his degree of Master of Arts. Since then he has taught in Dallas College twelve years, and in High School three years, being an able and unexcelled mathematics teacher. Miss Gladys Cartwright graduated from University of Oregon in 1913 and is a member of the Kappa Kappa sorority. She came to Dallas High School in 1914 as instructor in English, and her effiicency and enthusiasm are very prominent. When school hours are over she is as full of fun and life as any jolly school girl could possibly be. Her lovable and sympathetic ways have won the hearts of everyone who is around her. Miss Bess Owens is a 1915 graduate of Reed College, and hailed our town immediately after a short vacation filled with complete physical and mental rest, for she seemed to realize that it would be necessary for her arduous duties here. She teaches History and German, and is prominent in our musical circles and her ability and personality has endeared her to all students and friends. Mr. Oscar I. Chenoweth graduated from Salem High School in 1912. He then attended University of Purdue, Indiana, and came to Dallas High School in 1915. He has proven himself a very efficient Manual Training and Book-keeping instructor. “Chenny” immediately became a warm personal friend of all the boys and likewise he was a great favorite of all the girls. As Second Lieutenant of Company L, 0. N. G. he was called to the Mexican Border last summer but returned in time to resume school work with us at the beginning of the fall term. Soon after his return he was married to Miss Gertrude Pollow. At the present time he is again serving his country as First Lieutenant of Company L. Miss Vera Grant graduated from University of Minnesota in 1913 and since that time has been teaching. She came to Dallas High School in 1916 and is a very capable Science and Latin instructor. In this, her first year with us she has won the esteem of every student. Miss Fern Parr, instructor in Domestic Science and Art, graduated from 0. A. C. in 1916 and in the fall of the same year came to Dallas High School. She immediately won the kindest regards and co-operation of all the students and her efficiency in the culinary line has been demonstrated many times. Mr. Joseph A. Finley is at present Conductor of the Portland Oratorio Society in its fourth year and supervisor of music in Dallas and Independence. For eight years he was a pupil of G. W. Dudley of Boston, and graduated. He is also a graduate of Public School Music at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. He has had fourteen years experience in class and chorus conducting and twelve years in his own studios in Boston, Utah and Oregon. •Mentor (Class Jttnttn ‘‘3lmpossiblc is lln mcricait” Senior (Class «3Flomer •Shasta Daisy FAY BARBER English and Industry Treasurer of class -1; Philogia 1-2; Glee Club --2; Annual Staff —4. “Beware of her dark locks for when she winds them around a young man’s neck she will not let him free again.” MAUD BARNES English and Language Philogia 1-2; Vice President -1; Vice President of class —3; Camp Fire 1-2-3-4; Vice President --3; Girls Gymnasium -1; Student Body Play -4. “I am all the daughters of my father’s house And all the brothers too.” EMMA BEEBE English and Mathematics Philogia —3; Y.

Their officers were chosen as: Ruth Smith, president; Frances Harrington, vice president; Mamie Victor, secretary and Fay Barber, treasurer. Mamie Victor socn moved from town and Bertha Hatfield was chosen to succeed her. This class so quickly ascertained the customs of the High School that within a very short time they could scarcely be told from upper classmen. As Sophomores they learned of course, to act more dignified and solemn especially when in the presence of Freshmen. This was a very enjoyable year for the class. The girls might often be seen coming up from the kitchen with little packages of candy or cakes which they had been making and they may have gone even so far as to eat just a little piece in school. The ones selected to run the class affairs that year were Bertha Hatfield, Ralph Howe, Pearl Smith and Benjamin Rickli. Well, when the third year came this class had become so distinguished and famous that even Seniors took notice of them. Their fame partly rested upon their Honor Roll record, in which the Sophomores often ran them a close race. One might think that such a class as this would be conceited, but, not at all, they only had self-confidence which takes to make any class great. With Theodore Berg at the head of class affairs, Maud Barnes to assist, Elmer Butz to keep record and Glen Holman, fiancier, class affairs were very well managed. Now as “illustrious Seniors” they have learned the art of conducting recitations to suit themselves. With Marjorie Holman to start the ball rolling, Myrtle Hayes, Maud Barnes and others to help along they keep up a very entertaining discussion on current events in civic classes. Myrtle Hayes was chosen president of this class; Ralph Howe, vice president; Edith Southworth, secretary, and Beth Wilson, treasurer. As was suggested in an edition of our Periscope “think what an improvement there will be in the world when the Seniors are turned loose in it.” Bernice Newbill ’17. ¥ St. Peter. Alumnus. St. Peter.

When the class of 1919 entered Dallas High School, they were distinguished by their meek, quiet and obedient manners and especially for their respect shown to their upper class men. The officers were, Irving Balderree, president; Lowell Simpson, vice president; Jamie Farmer, secretary; Beatrice Springstein, treasurer; Elwyn Craven, editor of the class paper the “Banzai.” Breaking away from the usual custom of Freshmen in choosing green for their class colors, they chose blue and gold. This class was well represented in the two literary societies of the high school and have really become famous in furnishing such splendid material for the football team. As Sophomores they are considered a jolly “bunch” who are not afraid to show their high school spirit and are noted especially for their “pep” when it comes to a basketball game. This class is to be complimented also upon their literary and musical talents but they should strive to make a better standing on the honor roll than they have previously done. Nevertheless they are an “all-around” good class and will prove themselves very desirable companions of the coming Seniors after the sad departure of the present senior class. The officers for this year are, president, Ray Dale Brock; class editor, Dale Brock. Gohrke; secretary and treasurer, Fay E. Barber, 17. ¥ ¥ ¥ Lucile and Jamie found themselves seated next to each other at a dinner party and immediately became confidential. “Georgia told me that you told her that secret I told you not to tell her” whispered Jamie. “Oh. isn’t she a mean thing,” gasped Lucile, “why I told her not to tell you.” “Well,” returned Jamie, “I told her I wouldn’t tell you she told me, so don’t tell her I did.” Beneath the calm sunset we stood and her head She raised with her eyes full of wonder Those clouds go to where?

It was organized under the leadership of Miss Owens with Marjorie Holman as president and Pauline Rickli, secretary and treasurer. Once each week they meet and practice many numbers. In February they had the opportunity to demonstrate their ability at Mr. Finley’s concert where they gave two numbers.

The lawyer, Hawkes, furnishes a great deal of humor to the play in his freakish make-up and expression, “How extremely painful.” Besides giving the play on the home stage they took it to Independence and Falls City where the troupe had a great deal of fun and excitement making themselves believe they were a real opera company. We must not forget to add that there was a dog, “Michael,” in the play who not only did his part well but tried to help advertise by escaping from the watchful care of it’s mistress and leading a merry chase over the various streets of one of the afore named, Falls City. M. D. H. ★ ★ ★ (Ihe Senior Banner, Last November the staff of the weekly “Periscope” stirred up a great deal of enthusiasm and class rivalry by offering a banner to the class who secured the most subscriptions to the paper. The contest was very close, and the Seniors felt very proud of themselves for coming out victorious. After a long wait they received their prize. It was a shield shaped banner bearing the inscription “Seniors--D. H. S. ’16-’17.” The D. H. S., ’16-’17 are in orange letters on a black background, and the word “Seniors” in black letters on an orange bar running diagonally across the banner. They proudly hung their banner on the wall so they might feast their eyes on it. But some envious lower classmen evidently wanted it worse than the Seniors, for they broke into the High School and ravished it from the walls of the Senior room. A search was immediately made, but no trace of it could be found. It was not until two months later at the Freshmen program that the Seniors again saw their beloved banner, in the hands of Irving Balderree who formally presented it to the bereaved owners. But, alas, history is prone to repeat itself. The present whereabouts of the coveted rag of freedom is still a mystery. Is this precious relic hiding its light in some garage safe or floating proudly from the ridgepole of a private’s tent in Company L’s encampment? Time will tell. At present, who knows? ★ ★ ★ il tn % Jianks When the mobilization orders came there was only one student in Company L, but when the order came to recruit to war strength seven more decided to sacrifice the rest of the school year and perhaps their chances for future education, for their country. Among those who enlisted were Elmer Butz and Frank McCann, Student Body President and vice President respectively. Because of their leaving it was necessary to call a special election to fill their places. As those who enlisted were our star baseball men it was decided to drop baseball for this season.

The Sophomores, very successfully entertained the Freshmen in the High School building, Friday evening, October twenty seventh. The decorations and games were suggestive of the time of year. Autumn leaves, Jack o’ lanterns, corn stalks and festoons of Orange and Black crepe paper gave the High School an entirely new appearance. A splendid program was rendered in the auditorium by various of the class members. Late in the evening “eats” were served in the book keeping room which had been decorated for the occasion. ★ ★ ★ ‘pfaUcituc’cn JJarfy- Mrs. Arthur Vassall gave a delightful party at her home, October thirtieth, in honor of the Campfire Girls. About thirty-five of the girls and their friends were present to enjoy the evening. The decorations, appropriate to the occasion formed a charming background for the Hallowe’en merriment. The same idea was carried out in a bountiful lunch. Senior 3ltflhi-l]p The Seniors forgot for once the dignity that is supposed to accompany them everywhere and met for a general good time at the home of Myrtle Hayes, Saturday, January thirteenth. The house was beautifully decorated in ferns and mistletoe and everybody appeared in his best. Many undignified games were greatly enjoyed and no one need spoil his good time for fear of the “feed” being stolen as it was safely guarded in the basement by a vicious rat terrior. After all had enjoyed salad and ice cream and cake to the limit of his ability a number of songs were sung, accompanied by Miss Cartwright on her “Uke”. Finally some few were forced to bid the hostess good night and soon the remainder followed their example.

About twenty members are enrolled and meet once every week for practice. Benjamin Rickli serves as a very efficient pianist. We are looking forward to a pleasing entertainment in the near future as the boys are planning to give a Negro Minstrel Show which we know will come up to the high standard of all the entertainments given under the splendid direction of Mr. Finley. The members of the Club are: Webster Beebe, Elmo Ben- nett, Dale Brock, Virgil Brock, Elmer Butz, H. H.

Our first High School Orchestra was organized in 1912, under the leadership of Jack Eakin, who successfully directed it until his graduation in 1915, when he was succeeded by Miss Bess Owens. This year, the orchestra is under the able directorship of Ralph Howe and has proved itself a great success in all its undertakings. It has more members at the present time than it has ever had before, and as it is well represented by all the classes in High School, it arouses an interest and spirit of enthusiasm among the students that no other organization is capable of doing. It is not only a source of entertainment, but a splendid advertisement for our school. The students will do well to lend their support at all times to this loyal organization. Fay E. Barber, ’17. THE PERISCOPE Page 32 ILiiiilt §'cluiol (Carets. At the suggestion of Mr. Chenoweth the High School Cadets were organized on Wednesday, the 14th of March. On the following Wednesday the nomination of all commissioned officers was made. Two days later, on Friday, an election was held, at which Elmo Bennett was elected captain, Ray Smith, first lieutenant; Frank McCann, second lieutenant. On the same evening Charles Hayter was appointed first sergeant; Elmer Butz, senior sergeant; Walter Craven, junior sergeant; Arnel Wilson, Stuart Bennett and Samuel Halsey, duty sergeants; Ray Wilson and Victor Williams, musicians. After the organization drill was commenced, every member is attending and doing his best. When we had had several drills an invitation to join the Cadets was extended to the grade pupils, who responded with enthusiasm. Drilling outdoors was started as soon as the weather permitted. Although we do not receive any credits in school for this work this year, and have no equipment, we are going ahead as best we can, hoping that next year compulsory drill will be endorsed by the board. Before the Militia was called out we were drilled by members of Company L. Although handicapped by this loss we are getting along nicely with the help of one of Company L’s old officers, Wayne Greenwood, who is instructing us. The departure of Company L also took several of our best officers and men. Donald Hayes was elected second lieutenant to succeed Frank McCann. Harry Graves was appointed to fill Arnel Wilson’s place, Samuel Halsey took Walter Craven’s office as sergeant. Glen Holman is acting as duty sergeant, and Clarence Nelson is now senior sergeant. It is the hope of the company to make trips up the Rickreall later and stay over night. We are now a well organized band of one hundred and fifty members, with new members at each drill. G. R. B. ¥ The Information Editor received this letter from Bud Hart: “Kindly tell me why a girl always closes her eyes when a fellow kisses her?” He received this reply:“ If you send us your picture we may be able to tell you the reason.” Mr. Dunkelberger. “Can anyone tell me why Henry Ford didn’t take Bryan along with him on the Peace Party Expedition?” Benjamin Rickli. “Because ‘Fords’ are always losing nuts.” Page 35 THE PERISCOPE y. m c. x For some time before the Y. W. C. A. was organized in the High School the girls had fait the need of one. Early in the school year Mies Owens, who was instrumental in organizing an association, succeeded in bringing together most of the girls who were interested. They were soon organized choosing as their officers: Ruth Smith, president; Pauline Rickli, vice-president; Mary Hibbard, secretary and Adah Syron treasurer. These officers choose a cabinet which has planned and are carrying out the different phases of Y. W. C. A. in the High School. The purpose of this association is to bring the girls in closer touch with each other, to look after the new girls and to create a high moral sentiment throughout the school. Two meetings are held each week, one on Thursday afternoon and one on Sunday afternoon. Miss Owens has done a great deal for the girls in leading their discussions on topics very helpful to the girls such as beauty, courtesy and friendship. The officers for next year have been selected as follows: Pauline Rickli, president; Echo Balderree, vice president; Nada Wilson, secretary and Mary Hibbard, treasurer. We feel that this organization has been a credit to our school and uplifting to every girl. It is the hope of the girls that next year the work will be carried on even with greater enthusiasm than this year. DAI • I- nipi m r:RY Bernice Newbill ’17. THE PERISCOPE Page 36 pillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM Mountain Day that day of days, of all the school year when we forget our studies and seek enjoyment on the banks of the LaCreole. This is the time of all times when students show their class spirit in songs, races and contests. It is the desire of each class to be the “early birds” and have their wagon lead the procession. This is also the time when classes return their grudges. At twelve o’clock or sooner, because everyone is hungrily awaiting the hour, each is served his ration and it is sure to be a plentiful one. After the eats have disappeared everyone feels like an afternoon nap, but this soon wears off and pals begin to stroll off in two’s and three’s towards that box sunk in the ground called the “Intake,” although there is very little “taken in” except those who go there. When the sun is sinking in the west the bunch begins to collect around the wagons, laden with ferns and curios with which to remember that Mountain Day. When everyone has made a last attempt to collect his cup, sweater and kodak he piles onto a wagon, and woe to the last wagon. It may not expect to get in till long after dark on account of fallen trees, cordwood and fence rails strewn across the road. But we get back safely a little dirtier, a little more tired but a whole lot happier. One of the largest and best football rallies ever held here was the one before the Dallas-Chemawa game on Thanksgiving. In spite of the rain all of the students turned out and helped to make it a success. A number of Alumni were in attendance, and their presence, and old D. H. S. spirit added a great deal to the occasion. And such stirring addresses as Harold Miller gave us, makes us realize the feeling we’ll have for old D. H. S. in years to come. The serpentine which formed in front of the High School was nearly a block in length. Led by the High School Band, we serpentined down Main street and then formed a large circle around the Band, which played our school and football songs. A number of good snappy yells were given after which we serpentined back to the High School building and assembled in the auditorium. A number of business men and townspeople addressed us. Dr. McCallon, chairman of the School Board, told us something of the real meaning of the word “Pep.” Captain McCann and Manager tncnts. mm tain Dan. M. D. H. ¥ ¥ ¥ Page 37 THE PERISCOPE Bennett assured us that we were going to win, which we did. More spirit and loyalty was shown at this game than at any other game in the history of Dallas High School. Miss Marjorie Holman, our yell leader, should receive much credit for arousing and sustaining our spirit and enthusiasm. Since this was the last game of the season, we’re hoping this spirit is only peacefully slumbering to awaken at the beginning of the football season next year instead of at the close. ★ ★ ★ JUnujIj Jfaek Jan. Rough Neck Day is a day of ridiculous old hayseed garbs. We scrape the attics, rag bags, and every conceivable place for old clothes, the more patches the better, their pockets full of hay, and each has a large colored bandana handkerchief prominently displayed. The girls are in scimpy, tight aprons, with little pig-tails down their backs tied with various colored ribbons, and unmated stockings. That is it has been that kind of a day until this year when the Seniors put their heads together and decided to vary the program a little. Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors arrived in garbs to suit their taste, but no sign of the Seniors. It was not until after the bell had rung at five minutes of nine that the Seniors arrived. Each was dressed in his test, and each wore his best smile, for they had put another one over the rest of the school. We wonder what will happen next year. M ¥ ¥ JU'U (O’ Jib) lli cart.

We all know that Peg O’ My Heart is the best that has ever been put on by this High School. This is not saying that we have not put on some good plays before, but, that Peg O’ My Heart was exceptionally good. Elsie Forette in the title role with her Irish brogue and her Irish gestures was a delightful daughter of Killarney; while Harry Graves as Sir Gerald Adair or better known as Jerry, took well the part of the nobleman in a truly noble manner. Hallie Smith, Maud Barnes and Walter Craven as Mrs. Chester and her son Alaric and daughter Ethel, the aristocratic English family with which Peg attempts to live, portray the unhappy rich and self satisfied English aristocracy. THE PERISCOPE Page 26 jfi'csliman Class lliistimi. The Freshman class entered their room in September with the usual verdure of Freshmen. They placed their responsibilities upon the following officers: Hollis Smith, president; Mattie Jarman, vice-president; Georgia Spere, secretary; Glen Lewis, treasurer; Irving Balderree, class editor and Mattie Jarman assistant editor and yell leader. The editors were later changed to Georgia Spere and Claudia Plank. They chose their suitable colors of green and gold. In our Periscopical contest the Freshmen showed their rustling ability by winning a place next to the Seniors, who were very much surprised that Freshmen could attain such a remarkable place. However we have this much to say for the Freshmen class, that they have proved themselves worthy of honorable mention for the large number on the Honor Roll each month and their good representation in athletics, glee clubs and Y. W. C. A. Perhaps the Freshest of the Freshmen are those who entered High School in February. We believe they are worthy now to be placed with regular Freshmen as they have associated so long with them that they have absorbed a part of their intelligence. But we will give them credit for having some knowledge of their own, as one of their number, Claudia Plank, received the highest eight grade examination average in Polk County at the time of her graduation and this class is progressing rapidly in High School. We are all looking forward to the future of the Freshman class with great interest because we expect great things from them in the next three years of their High School career.

It was a dull November day when a strong northeastern wind forcing the waves upon the beach where they break and foam and roar in angry strife; overhead, a dark grey sky wash fleeting jagged clouds spreading it’s intensive shadow over the dreary scene. Even from my shelter in the doorway of the Bethel, I felt the chill of the spray, and as I pulled the collar of my overcoat a little closer I am afraid I muttered something decidedly uncomplimentary of street cars in general, Duluth street cars in particular. But it fails to hasten the appearance of the one I am awaiting. It is almost six o’clock and the busy crowd of laborers pass by swinging their empty dinner pails, their faces stolid and cheerless, quite in keeping with the weather. One does not feel exactly optomistic when cold and hungry even with the consciousness of a charitable deed performed and again I pull out my watch and have about decided to walk when my attention is drawn to a small boy coming down the street, a large package of papers tucked under his arm. And every now and then a shrill little voice pipes out, “Evening Herald,” sir. “All about the great railroad accident,” but the people pass him by. So he gives up in despair, and with his thin coat pinned tight around him crouches down on the steps of the Bethel, and to judge from his face, indulges in sad reflections. He is such a lonely little mite, with dark pathetic eyes that I made up my mind to speak to him. Somebody, however, was there before, “Hullo, Jimmy. Out of luck?” A pair of merry blue eyes, a shock of sandy hair and a nose tilted heavenward not to mention the rich brogue, all indicate the newcomer, to be a waif from the Emerald Isle, while his poor but neatly mended clothes, much patched shoes and a few papers under his arm, proclaiming that his social status is about the same as his companion’s. “Yup,” is his brief response. The speaker evidently not having energy enough to lift his eyes. “No tin?” goes on the examiner. “Nope.” “Hungry?” “Nary bite since mornin’.” Here he of the red hair looks thoughtfully up and down the street, then with a sudden air of decision, slaps his companion on the back and says cheerfully, “Come ’long with me, Jimmy. Mither will fix yer.” For the first time the despondent Jimmy looks up, hope shining in his eyes, but he asked dubiously, “Sure she won’t kick me out?” At this the little philanthropist bursts into a merry peal of laughter, ♦ Page 43 THE PERISCOPE laughter it does ones heart good to hear, so blithe and gay it is. “Mither kick yez out! Mither! Well, now that’s a good ’un,” and another peal rang out. Then the speaker’s small homely face softens, and in a tone that is almost reverential, he says, “I guess yez don’t know my Mither, Jimmy. Why she’s-well, she’s just the best Mither in the world and wouldn’t hurt a fly. So come along me boy.” And as I jumped aboard the tardy car, I caught a last glimpse of the two street waifs, the other one with his arm protectingly over Jimmy’s thin shoulders, whistling blithely, and I mentally register a vow that I will see more of my little Irish knight. To one who is fond of studying nature I know of no place better adapted for this than the Bethel. Especially is this true during one of the entertainments there when the hall is thronged with the motly gathering and one may be at his leisure to study all sorts of types. Scattered among the crowd of respectable working people may be seen faces hardened with sin but in which some spark of humanity must still linger else they would not be there. Faces haggard with want and care striving in the grateful light and warmth to forget for a brief time the bitter strife with poverty that only ceases for them with life itself; faces that might be those of poets or musicians, had not degrading vice or grinding poverty set it’s stamps thereon although not quite defacing the diviner one of genius. Such thoughts as these passed idly through my head as I glanced idly at one of the assembled audiences enjoying one of the Bethel’s popular concerts. But surely this is my little friend of the street coming down the aisle carefully guiding an old, shabbily dressed woman who looks a little frightened at the crowd. They find good seats, and much to my satisfaction, place themselves where I can easily watch their faces, for both, especially that of the mother, interested me unexpress-ably and I knew of no word more descriptive than the word “Mother.” The thin, sharply pointed features, the faded blue eyes that must once have sparkled as brightly as those of her son, positively beamed with kindness. The pair seemed to have friends everywhere. Smiles and nods greeted them on all sides. At length a gentleman closely connected with the institution approached, and with a nod in the direction of the two remarked: “You seem very much interested in the pair?” “Yes,” I returned eagerly. “Can you tell me anything about them?” “Do you know them?” And I related the little incident of that stormy afternoon. The gentleman smiled. “Yes, that is Mike. It is not his first charitable deed, by any means, but his working is nothing to that of his mothers. My friend, I have met scores of kind, charitable women in my life, but I doubt if one could ever approach in kind acts to our humble friends across the aisle. She and her son are very poor. They live in a small house on the lake. Mike sells papers while his mother scrubs, washes or does any sort of odd jobs she may come across, and so make a scant living. But no one has ever applied in vain for aid. Many a night has the humble cottage sheltered some poor street waif, many a night some unfortunate girl has been taken in from the haunts of vice to be cheered and comforted, and not unfrequently rescued. The term, “Mike’s Mither” has become the byword of the neighborhood and the boy THE PERISCOPE Page 44 himself worships her. They are the greatest help to us in our work here, and I am prouder of having them than the greatest people in the land. Here my kind friend was called away and I found the concert over and the people going home. A few days later an errand called me to the cottage, which from the direction of my Bethel friend, I easily found. It was a small two-roomed house facing the lake, and as I knocked I heard a thin, quivering voice within humming an old Irish air. The old lady herself came to the door. She was suffering from rheumatism and compelled to give up her daily work, but not once during my visit did she utter a complaint, though winter was coming on when her scanty earnings would be sadly needed; but she spoke cheerfully of the goodness of her son, and the kindness of her neighbors. One thing struck me as being peculiar. The one small window of the room in which we sat faced the lake, but instead of having a flower or two blooming in it, such as even the poorest cottages are sure to have, it was destitute of flower, curtain or blind, and the bright morning sunshine streamed in unrestricted across the white floor. I made some remote remark about this to my new friend and offered some plants from my collection. The answer I received would have done credit to an aesthetic. She thanked me kindly for the flowers, but said that she loved the lake so well with its shifting lights and shadows, its wonderful changes, that she could not bear to shut it out, words she used were homely, but the sentiment was of the finest, and I who loved the lake as a dear friend felt a thrill of pleasure at the words. Truely she had opened a window for her soul when she kept before her that wondrous picture. A week later I was called to the East and various matters of business kept me there during the winter. All memory of Mike and his mother had fadod from my mind, but when homeward bound, I found, on leaving St. Paul, one of my traveling companions to be my friend of the Bethel, they both instantly recurred to my mind and I eagerly inquired as to their welfares. It was with a sincere sorrow that I learned that they had fallen victims to the fever scourge. “The winter had been a very hard one,” said my companion, scarcity of work and much sickness making the lot of the poor people especially hard. We of the Bethel have had our hands full and we have had no more faithful assistants than the old Irish woman and her son. But at last Mike was taken seriously ill with the disease and he left us. The hard work and the sorrow of losing her son proved too much for the feeble constitution of the mother. Less than a month after, a neighbor found her, the toil worn hands folded peacefully, a contented smile on the furrowed face, sleeping the last sleep. Mike and his “Mither” were once more united. They now lie side by side near their beloved lake whose waves lap the shore in soft monotones as if they knew that friends were lying there. Many sad scenes, many evil witnesses, but there are unselfish deeds, quiet heroism, loving charity to which they also bear silent witness and who knows but that when all have “crossed the bar” we shall find the good deeds far in advance of the evil, for the greater part of the former are unrecorded, while the latter are heralded far and wide. Georgia Rae Spere, ’20. THE PERISCOPE Page 45 05nil Creek In southern Oregon, Bald Mountain looms high in the distance over the heads of the other snow caps. High on its side is a clear cold spring whose waters join with Slag Creek to form the cold yet gold filled stream of Gold Creek which flows down through a little valley and finally, seventeen miles farther on rushes through the nearest trading station of Placer. Snuggled down at the foot of one of the hills surrounding the valley is an old log cabin. Surely this valley is not Godforsaken for the laughter of children echoes it’s whole length from sunup to sundown. The sun, when he peeped up over the top of Bald Mountain seemed to be in a hurry to see if his little playfellows were up yet, smiled at them the whole day through and then slowly sank out of sight behind the tall trees, throwing long shadows across the valley and calling out to the owls who began their mournful evening dirge. Mr. Eastman and his wife and three children, Rose, five, Marie, three and Eddie nearly two, had left their home in the smoky city of St. Louis and hurried to the high clear air, found only in the mountains of southern Oregon, in a vain effort to improve the health of the wife. They found in this secluded valley the ideal place for their home beside a deserted placer mine which Mr. Eastman could work in his spare time. Their only neighbors were Jack Reed, a young man twenty three years of age who, starting out to make a place for himself in the world, had taken up a mining claim four miles on up Gold Creek toward Bald Mountain and Sam Pease, one of the old pioneers who had a cabin high on the ridge seven miles on up the creek. He and his only companion, a dog, Skydigger were frequent visitors at the Eastman cabin. Mrs. Eastman after the strain of the long journey and getting settled in their new home had a serious relapse and Mr. Eastman, unable to hire a nurse, sent for Mrs. Eastman’s sister, Rose Allison, to come and care for her. Rose arrived in Placer in a day and a half and Mr. Eastman could not leave his wife and go for her gave her into the care of Jack Reed who was at that time going in for supplies. The long horseback ride was a series of wonderful surprises to Rose and made more enjoyable by the clear open-hearted replies of her companion. The clear air was exhilarating and flowers, from the sky pink and yellow lady-slippers to the bold and dazzling white dogwood, met your gaze on every side. Mr. Eastman was nervously awaiting their arrival and heaves a sigh of relief when he saw them appear on the narrow trail through the clearing. Rose took immediate command of the situation and sent Mr. Eastman to Placer for medicine while Jack Reed remained to care for the stock and a guard for the night and many more as Mr. Eastman did not return for three days. During the long night watches at the bedside, Jack and Rose became close friends. One evening while Rose slept he heard a strange noise at the door and on opening it found an immense cat. It could pass easily for a young wildcat. Calmly it walked across the floor and laid down before the fireplace. Then Jack remembered that the Hindu cook, who came with the prospectors and had deserted THE PERISCOPE Page 46 the cabin, had a cat whose reputation for fierceness had travelled for miles around. Jack’s first impulse was to kill it but fearing to waken Mrs. Eastman who had fallen into her first sleep for many days, he thought best to wait. Early the next morning Mr. Eastman returned bringing with him the long awaited medicine and a cow. Having no means to shelter it nor a storehouse for grain and hay, Mr. Eastman asked Jack if he would like to help him build a barn as there was not much doing in the mining business. Jack eagerly agreed and work was commenced that afternoon. Rose was getting tired and worn with the long night watches so Jack would take her for long rides, now Mrs. Eastman was recovering, and their friendship became more firmly established. On Mrs. Eastman’s complete recovery Rose was going to leave but they persuaded her to stay for the rest of the summer and the following winter to teach the children their school work. Late in the fall when the chill winds were beginning to blow and the first frosts had evidenced themselves by causing seme of the banks to cave off along the stream after they had been undermined by the giant, Mr. Eastman thought he would do but little more work in the mine. One afternoon, as he was just finishing sluicing off a pile of dirt that had lain on the bank for a long time where it had fallen when the first frosts began, he saw a gleam of something yellow. Hardly believing his eyes he got down on his knees and tearing the earth aside with his hands uncovered a ledge of rock in a hollow of which was a pocket full of gold. He leaped to his feet, ran heedlessly across the creek, through the clearing and into the house crying, “Gold! Gold! I have found it! Now Ruth aren’t you glad you got well?” There was certainly a jubilee at the cabin that night when they began to realize their first joy. The n«xt day Jack Reed on one of his hunting trips stopped at the cabin and heard of the great discovery. His joy was nearly as great as theirs for he too had found gold ore and a beautiful promise of a paying mine. All during the cold winter months when the snow was so deep it was impossible to do more than care for the stock, Jack was a constant visitor at the cabin and when the snow had melted enough to begin work he built a lovely log cabin on his claim. Early jn the spring there was a wedding at the Eastman home and on the evening of that happy day Mr. and Mrs. Eastman standing in the doorway watched Rose and Jack ride away up Gold Creek to a happy and prosperous future with the old cat following them an omen of happiness. M. E. W. ’17. Page 47 THE PERISCOPE Atotcnturcs of a jfainj in - 'chooL (Being an Allegory of D. H. S.) Once upon a time there was a fairy (yes, there was, and you needn’t deny it). She was a very happy little sprite, quite well content to play all day in her small world with no thought of the boundless knowledge in the great unknown. But one day her mother called her and said: “Perhaps you do not know, but there is a wonderful place where all little fairies must go in order to become good efficient fairies, well equipped to do their work in Fairyland. You will find a great deal of pleasure there; there will be many jolly times and pleasant associations. But it will not be all play, you will find many problems and perplexities; nevertheless, if you play fair and do your work well you will be very happy, This good place is called school and you must learn to love and honor it and work to preserve its good name.” It was Friday morning. Our small fairy had arrived at school. She entered the door with a quaking heart. Inside she was met by a kindly brown fairy who showed her up the stairs into a large room where all the school fairies were assembled. They were all black with orange wings and orange spots on their backs, because Orange and Black were their school colors, you see. They had kind bright faces, but they looked and giggled and whispered as she took her seat; that is, the girls did; the boys for the most part only shuffled their orange feet and winked their orange eyes. On the stage was a large round fat fairy who, when he raised his wing and waved his fairy wand, brought forth such a burst of song from the school of fairies that the newcomer quite forgot her embarrassment in her delight. Then they all floated out at the sound of fairy music. Next she struggled with a goblin called X and a gnome called Y, who fought and struck and bit and still the contest never came out even. All this in a room presided over by a Spirit of Honesty and Helpfulness, who floated slowly about and rubbed his black head where his orange hair was scarce. Then she learned about the things that famous fairies have written in past ages, from a small fuzzy-haired Spirit of Good-Will and Sympathy. Her only trouble was an orange cough she acquired when a baby, when one day her mother put her to sleep in an orange tree and one of its fruits fell into her mouth and never would go all the way down. Then she learned to prepare dainty fairy things to eat by a patient quiet Spirit of Domesticity. After this she was taught what had happened in Fairyland since Old Father Time cut the first swath and started the ball to rolling. This was taught by a rather large, all-there sort of Spirit who often smiled and showed her orange teeth as she told the wondering fairies the story of their evolution from simple black monkeys with orange tails into their present and beautiful enlightened forms. She learned to speak in fairy tongues from a small earnest, kindly Spirit. THE PERISCOPE Page 48 And over all there reigned supreme a Spirit of Diligence and Worthiness and alto-together as-you-should-be-edness. Years passed, one, two, three, four, and our little fairy was a mighty Senior, imbued with the lofty spirit of enterprise, enthusiasm and loyalty char-acterestic of that class. The eighth of June came. Upon the platform sat a class of charming fairies resplendent in their shining orange and black. One moment they raised their voices in joyous song; the next took out their black handkerchiefs and wiped their orange noses in a vain endeavor to check the tears that fell like a windfall of oranges upon the admiring and sympathetic audience below. And thus the little fairy graduated with high honors and went out into the Fairyland with a feeling of love and devotion for the school which had made her happier and better and perhaps a little bit wiser.

JjffacrttatlL The football season this year opened up with a little more pep than usual, there being two full teams out for practice the first night. There appeared for practice some men who had never seen a football field, some that had their first game to play, and others that had earned their first, second or third letter. So you see Coach Chenoweth had quite a variety of men to pick from. The games played during the season are as follows: Salem Mute School vs. Dallas High School at Salem. The coach took over a large bunch of players in order to try out some of the new men. We expected a hard game, but to our surprise we tore through them for five touchdowns the first half. The second half the coach kept shifting men in order to try out some of the new players’ skill. The score ended with a sixty-eight to zero victory. This gave us plenty of confidence and we thought we could tear through any line in the state. Silverton High vs. Dallas High at Dallas. This game played in our home town was very fast and exciting. The first half ended six to seven in favor of Silverton, but during the second half the Silverton guys came back strong ending with a thirteen to fourteen score in their favor. Silverton High vs. Dallas High at Silverton. We journeyed to Silverton with the hopes of getting revenge but we were greatly handicapped by one of our players being sick and two being not eligible to play. The score ended with a twenty-seven to seven defeat. Lebanon High vs Dallas High at Lebanon. We had now lost confidence having suffored two defeats. We expected a defeat as Dallas High had never defeated Lebanon on their home ground. The game ended seven to nine in favor of Lebanon. Manager Bennett had a game scheduled with them at Dallas on Thanksgiving but it was inconvenient for Lebanon to respond. Chemawa vs. Dallas High at Dallas. Being deserted by Lebanon we tackled the tough redskins on our home grounds and defeated them by a twelve to nine score. Both teams played a hard fast game. The victory being due to superior playing on the part of our home team. This was conceded to be the fastest game of the season. Lineup of Dallas High Substitutes McCann - R. H. B. R. Wilson L. T.

Dallas High School was somewhat crippled only having one letter man and it was rather difficult to pick out four men who were capable of representing Dallas High. These were after a long search found and practicing began immediately. They were Elmo Bennett, right forward; Harry Graves, center; Donald Hayes, left forward; Webster Beebe, left guard; Arnel Wilson, right guard. Substitutes were: Walter Craven, left forward; Earl Cutler, right guard; Ray Smith, right forward. The games played during the season are as follows: Silverton High vs. Dallas High at Silverton. On the twenty-ninth of December, Dallas High journeyed to Silverton and tackled the fast Silverton High School team which resulted in a defeat of twenty-five to seven. Silverton High vs. Dallas High at Dallas. Dallas High School tried to get revenge on the fast Silverton squad on their home floor which resulted in ten minutes extra playing but failed to do so, the score ending twenty-five to twenty-six in favor of Silverton. Bellfountain High vs. Dallas High at Dallas. The Bellfountain team was making a tour through the northern part of the state and challenged Dallas High School for a game. The home boys outclassed them in team work defeating them by a score of forty-four to zero. Owing to lack of finances, Manager Beebe was forced to cancel all scheduled games. W. B. ’17. (Lite XLennis Club. At last we have a sport in Dallas High in which girls as well as boys can partake. In February, 1916, the subject of tennis was brought up in Assembly. It was hailed with enthusiasm by all. Officers were elected, dues established and by-laws made. The old court west of the “Castle” was repaired and a new one built on the side of the Campus. Nets were bought and tennis begun full force. Enthusiasm for tennis did not die with the beginning of vacation but was carried through the summer until the next fall and now we are only waiting for this “Oregon Mist” to clear away to go at it again. We are now looking forward to the time when regular tennis tournaments will be provided for as well as baseball and football games. jcirnscopc.
