I lf . ai Freshman History On August 30, a Freshman Class of about fifty students entered the Grass Valley High School. They felt that they were going to make their way through High School as successfully as any other class had ever done. The first great event of the season was the initiation. The poor Fresh- men were afraid to go to this because they thought they would never come out of the gymnasium again, but hearing Mr. Millar say that nothing unusual would happen, they changed their minds and were initiated without the dread- ful events that were promised them. After this, they were ready to be regular high school students. Soon after the initiation the first class meeting was held. The following oflicers were elected: Bob Hocking ............,.........,...............,................................................................... President Merris Ingram ......... ........

The Adventures of a eeee' Stream A I started from a cold spring away PUBLJC4 LIBRARY up in the lofty Sierras. I believe I N -wx X- . L heard some one say that I originated gi-: Q I at the Gold Mountain spring, near ? E Gold Lake, so you see my birthplace 5 ig is in Plumas County. 7 3 My youth was very happy. playing I I+ among the rocks. tumbling, jumping, H and playing hide-and-go-seek with the I fishes and grasses. All this time I was B growing stronger and stronger, for 5 9' E 5 from each spring or snowbank that I E I gl passed. I gathered more strength. E I I Qi Like all other streams, I just could E I L Q Y T I not stay at home and play forever. I il ' - C ,lj 5 iiffdl yearned to do things, great things for ' -l the unconquerable world. So with Li.. these my constant thoughts, I bade sheltering grasses and ni o u n t a in s good-bye and kissed each fish and frog as I passed down the great mountain sides, through valleys andmgrassy meadows, to my destiny. I met many strange objects as I traveled, I crossed under bridges, heard automobiles. Such strange things they are with their puffing and running. One almost ran into me. It would have, if I hadn't been frightened and jumped away from its crushing wheels. This exercise was making me grow and I became really quite grown up and able to care for myself. One day in early afternoon I was drifting along with my eyes half closed. listening to the birds sing, when I ran plump into a great big person almost like myself. I was so terribly frightened and afraid. I asked him who he was. In a great thundering voice he said he was Bowman Dam, and informed me that I was his captive. At this I became more frightened and I'm sure he could see me shaking. I wished I'd never left home. BOVVI'11311,S Dam had a castle of great magnitude inclosed in a wall, which wasto keep us, his captives,-and I met a lot of other poor little streams like myself who were kept from leaving without his consent. He promised if we were good he might in time let us out to water the fields of Nevada County. The fishes here were too large to play with. They made me feel little and insignificant. Even the turtles were cross and unplayful. Thus I became cramped and lazy, not being able to move about and exercise freely. I tried to stay close to the wall, but was often pushed away by some greedy stream in the hope of securing freedom. I just behaved beautifully and did everything I was commanded to do and became quite a trusted captive. But one dark night I slipped around to the gate and with great effort climbed over it. I jumped and, oh! I did think I'd never reach the earth. I landed in a great heap and I was sure for a minute I had broken my bones to pieces. But after lying still for awhile I gathered myself together and ran away from Bowmaifs Dam. I'm positive I was never missed, as there were so many other captives. The next day I found I had run into an irrigation ditch and was on my way to see Nevada County. From what little I gathered on the way through the villages I was most interested in all I was to see and in what I might do for the world. Wfith my destiny on its way and fate being so kind I am sure I will accomplish great things for some farmer in the county, Reva johnson, '27. 30
