All about the new invention! Wan’ a paper, lady?” The little fellow’s voice was so appealing that I was moved to stop and exchange a few cents for a voluminous copy of the “Evening Herald.” The sheet had no sooner been thrust into my hand, than my atten- tion was attracted by the outstanding, black headlines, and my eyes fairly bulged with amazement when their signifi- cance dawned upon me, for this is what I saw: “Ruth Sterns, Noted Woman Scientist, Makes Greatest Invention in History.” As soon as my swimming senses recovered their accustomed lucidity, I eagerly devoured the remainder of the article, which explained how the brilliant inventress had constructed a telescopic apparatus which, in a manner similar to that in which the wireless carries a message, would convey vision as well as sound to any part of the globe. Even while congratulating Ruth upon the success of her ingenious invention a plan was forming in my mind. I would make use of the instrument to get a glimpse of my eld friends of the June T9 class, now scattered far and wide. I lost no time in carrying out my resolution, for the next afternoon found me entering the famous laboratory. As was to he expected, many others had come besides my- self. A large crowd of open-mouthed spectators gazed, fascinated, at the strange instrument, while l)r. Sterns’ three assistants, Bessie Steelsmith, Helen Kaseburg, and Marion Rogers, explained its mechanism to them. As I drew near several of them rushtd toward me and grasped my hands heartly. In a few moments we were all talking at once, and from the confused chatter I soon gathered that Lavelle Hewitt was carrying on a flourishing business as a chiropo- dist: Ethel Ix wtll and Edith Wallen had gained the name of the most exclusive modistes in New York, and Anabel MacKenzie was the interpreter for the Spanish ambassador. Thirty-seven The Spectrum June, ipip Clarence Young’ said that he really enjoyed being a fish merchant, and Dorothy Romig informed 11s that she could just remain a few moments as it was almost time to leave on her regular aerial route from New York to San Francisco. There was one person who had not joined our noisy crowd, but sat in a corner, busily jotting down memoranda concerning the machine. “Who is that?” I asked Helen Parker, who was naming over the merits of a new brand of soap which she demonstrated. “Don't you know?” she replied incredulously. “That’s Emily Perry, the star reporter of the most widely circulated New York newspaper, edited by Edward Cram. Do you remember La Verne Scroggin? Well, she’s assistant editor, Evelyn Nordstrom is the head of the art department, and Helen Randolin writes the society column.” Just as Opal Glazebrook was telling about her interesting experiences as a nursemaid, we were interrupted by Laura Taylor, who asked me if I wished to test the vistaphone, which of course I was eager to do. Examining the alphabetical index, I naturally sought first the name of our president. After following numerous pages of Smyths I at last found the right one, and asked Bessie to make the proper connections as I was afraid to touch the uncanny thing. A queer humming sound assailed my ears as I glued my eye to the transmitter. Quick as a flash, a marvelous panorama unfolded itself before me. I seemed instantaneously to have entered another sphere. The scene was a court room. A witness was on the stand whom I recognized as Marion Cunningham, the charming young detective. According to her testimony, the defendant, Wal- ter Blacsing. had been caught in the act of placing a bomb under the capitol building. “Poor Walter,” I mused. “His characterization of Aaron Burr in the class play must have undermined his ideals and given him Bolshevistic views. However, his part in the crime was somewhat mitigated by the fact that a bold and daring confederate, Edna Bowen, was the real instigator of the attempted explosion. Many other testimonies were heard from such as Frank Albright, gardner of the White House grounds. Thomas Laman and Thomas Greene, both prominent members of congress, and Merle Carter, librarian of the Congressional Library. Sen- ator Coon had also taken part in the affair. After a pause, the sharp accusing accents of the prosecut- ing attorney cut the silence. It was a masterly oration of scathing arraignment. Every face was tense with suppressed emotion. Then the commanding figure of the lawyer for Thirty-eight June, 1919 The Spectrum the defence arose, and the calm voice of Stuart Pagett rang through the room. As he made the gallant, heartrending pleas for his friend there was not a dry eye in the court. Suddenly, as he reached the climax of his emotional address, the authoritative rap of the gavel sounded. Judge McIntosh was pointing his long forefinger at one of the jurymen. “Take that man into custody for contempt of court,” he rasped. “He is chewing gum in the court room.” My heart melted with pity when I saw Clarence Anderson brought before those stern faces, for I remembered how desperately he had tried to overcome that terrible habit in his school days. I perceived that some of the jurymen— Roy Emmel, Charles King, Thomas Donahue, Merwin Greer, James Smith, Charles Miller, Russel Hendricks, and Darrel Pollam, all prosperous business men of the city, were filled with indignation, but there was nothing to be done; and as the shame-faced offender was marched out I heard the officer, Theodore Deggendorfer, remark, “You for cell number 34!” The fate of the other criminals was yet undecided, but I had not time to wait for the outcome. However, before com- ing away, I noticed that Catherine Hutch and Mardie Thomas were the court stenographers, and that several of my old friends were in the audience, such as Leola Brough- ton and Emilie Andreason—welfare workers, the Reverend Reginald Tousey, and two newspaper reporters—Josephine Gallup and Merle Ramey. With reluctance I shut off this scene and flashed on another. As my eyes grew accustomed to the dim light, I found that I was looking at the interior of a crowded theater. The low sweet tones of a woman's voice, accompanied by a violin and piano, filled the air. Looking closely, I recog- nized the violinist as Alfreda Goodwin, the pianist as Helen Caples, and she of the birdlike voice as Gayle Acton. As the last notes died, the audience burst into a thunder of applause and a cry of “Composer!” went up, at which Raymond Johnston appeared, bowing and smiling. My eyes traveled through the audience, and I soon found Estella Martin and Audrey Perkins, making gay plans for the next picnic which they were arranging for their orphan- age, while they partook liberally of an immense box of chocolates labeled “The Lillian Renholds Sweet Shop. Amid the hum of voices I heard a sentence that interested me. “Have you read the latest volume of Helen Drake’s poetry ? I hear that the first edition was sold almost imme- diately.” Looking up, I saw Sarah Lamberson and Florine Thirty-nine The Spectrum June, p p Farmer, each bearing that distinction which marks royalty, and Sarali wearing the coronet of a Duchess. “Indeed I have,’’ answered Florine, “and speaking of literary success, Frances McMillan’s novel has met with tremendous popularity.” They chatted on, mentioning that Arline Cameron had won the world’s tennis championship, and that Marion Nicolai and Dorris Kellog were to start next morning on an auto race around the world, with Wait Rising and Francis Driscoll. The prize was to he a gorgeous feast at Lura Reid’s fa mous restaurant. At that moment the conversation was drowned by the opening chord of the jazz orchestra, composed of Dick Faville, James Skelton and Ed. Miller, with Henry Dal- rymple as director. Before the lights were extinguished I recognized two of the neatly uniformed ushers as Evelina Alley and Alice Xorvel. Murmurs of admiration arose when Mildred Drake stepped upon the platform and delivered a four-minute speech on the cigarette question, which was at that time under world-wide discussion. As she left the stage I heard some one say that she and Mildred Jewell were making a tour of the United States, urging the prohibition of this great evil. Next appeared the renowned ventriloquist, I larold Chrisman, followed by Iceland Uipham’s hair-raising jug- gling act. After a marvelous exhibition of esthetic dancing by Vivian Jennings and Ellen Dahl, the main performer of the afternoon was introduced—Dorothy Greene, the cele- brated telepathic psychologist, who could see into the very souls of any who might be willing to submit themselves as subjects for her expert mind reading. After much hesitation several ladies and gentlemen gathered enough courage to step to the platform. As the mind reader directed her |x ne- trating gaze to the first victim, 1 thought that a flicker of surprise passed over her countenance, and well it might, for this was no other than Milton Rowe. “Ah.” she began, in deep vibrating tones. “I perceive at once that this gentleman holds a position of dignity and solemnity. Is it not true that you are an undertaker and also hold the position of coroner of your county ?” Milton nodded an astounded affirmative, and Dorothy turned to Frances Lounsbury. A profound silence followed, and her voice seemed to come from afar. “I see that you have just returned from a long journey. Your mind is filled with thoughts of a little village in a far distant African jungle, where, with Elizabeth Ettinger, you have been up- Forty June, IQ 19 The Spectrum lifting the savage cannibal. It is a noble work, and you are about to return on the Meet and Drinker ocean liner.” She bent suddenly and whispered, “To avoid seasickness, let me recommend Helen Shepherd's corrugated bran wafers.” She proceeded to name the occupation of each subject: Katheryn Quinn was a fashion model for Glen Hurt’s large department store; while Inez Clark, having inherited an immense fortune from a distant relative, was pursuing her hobby of collecting Egyptian fossils; Eva Andrews con- ducted a hairdressing establishment with Bernice Krieger; Janet Brandenburg had become a dancing instructor; Mar- jorie Elegel and Signe Sandstrom were engaged in historical research; and Pauline Titus and Lucile McClung owned a stock farm of guinea pigs. This completed the evening performance, and I again turned the screw of the vistaphone to behold a new scene. There appeared a group of people gathered on the campus of a large college. Among these were Hermina Zipple Florence Royal, Helen Gehrett, Ethel Reed, Myrtle Mor- tensen, Agnes Haroldson, Mildred Young, and Frances Ridenour. From their conversation I learned that all were teachers in this college, with the exception of Helen Gehrett, who was head janitress. On the adjoining athletic grounds, Dorothy McKee was coaching a class of girls in volley ball. Frances was reading a letter from Mabel Sullivan, who had recently moved to a Florida orange grove. She told of her wonderful trip to Europe the summer l efore, and of her meeting with Jean McLeod, who was gathering data for a lecture on the “Condition of the Masses in Europe. The letter contained a description of Verne Robb's magnifi- cent mansion overlooking Lake Geneva. Upon arriving in France. Mabel had through a strange coincidence chanced to meet Ross Thornton's moving picture company, in which were three of the world's most famous film artists—Helen Meserve, Frank Young and Ina Chapin. At that time they had been photographing a scene from a new scenario written bv Agnes Crowthers. a reproduction of Hildur Nelson's latest mystery story entitled “The Blank Bank Note. The reading of the letter was interrupted by the arrival of President Tormoehlen, accompanied by Jean McEachern. who was to address the girls later on the subject of athletics. Burning with curiosity to know what had become of the other members of the class, and as the hour was growing late. I turned swiftly from scene to scene. I located Esther Jones, Reatha Weeks and Bess Van Duzen in prosperous homes, enjoying domestic tranquility and happiness. Annie Forty-one The Spectrum June, 1919 Me Lei lan was found to l e the milkmaid on Milton Peter- son s dairy farm. Helen Pierce, pursued by the irate Edna Lund, to whom she owed an extensive grocery bill, fled to a Spanish convent for refuge and there became a nun. I caught a glimpse of Almeda Eckertt and Ruth Pick- thall flying down the streets on motorcycles in pursuit of a speeding laundry delivery truck, but when they recognized the speeders as Ida Johnson and Cecilia Rosser, they con- siderately slackened their pace and lost them in the crowd. George Evans, Ralph Dodderidge and Trumond Peterson had formed a powerful corporation to operate a group of valuable quicksilver mines in California. With a sigh of satisfaction I handed the transmitter to Ruth, and tried to express my extreme gratitude for this great honor. “I always knew,,, I said to her, “that the members of our class would acquit themselves creditably in the world, and these glimpses of their lives have proven the truth of our highest expectations. Some have risen to places of fame and honor; many have attained eminent posi- tions ; all have shown themselves capable of doing a useful work in the world.”—Sadie Pratt.

ROBERT T. PATTON HE morning of September 11th dawned gray and cheerless in the Meuse. For the three hundred thousand Americans concentrated on the thirty mile line between Ronvaux and Pont-a-Mousson it was the “day before” the Big Day. For the men of the Second Tank Battalion, hidden in the narrow strip of forest that flanked the Beaumont-Flirey road, it was all that and more. Their maiden experience at the front it was, as well as the initial encounter with the Boche, eagerly looked for through months of stiff training. Three days had they been existing in the cold, rain sodden undergrowth, a scant two miles from the German first line, with a desultory fire of artillery con- tinuing between the Boche and American gunners. Each night brought its troops and artillery accompaniment up over the dark roads, to disappear in these same woods and Fritz, who had all roads marked, honored them with particular attention at unexpected moments between dark- ness and dawn. Overlooking the remains of Montsec, Richecourt, Seiche- prey, Layhayville, and St. Boussant there lay a wooded crest, along which were scattered at intervals hidden ob- servation posts. Unseen from the Boche lines, they com- manded a sweeping view of the ruined valley below, through which wound the German and American trenches; almost parallel, and scarce fifty yards apart. At various intervals that morning, gunners and drivers from the Tank battalion crawled to this crest to memorize, with the aid of map and field glass, the route of march which was to be theirs twenty-four hours later. Then silently dropping back to their hidden tanks, they worked ceaselessly through the day, hindered as they were by the Forty-seven The Spectrum June, 1919 tall undergrowth which dared not be cut away, for the tale it might tell to occasional Roche planes that floated over- head. Motors had to he tuned to the finest pitch of sensitiveness, treads to be tightened, and the heavy cleats or “mud hooks” clamped to them, that were to give the seven ton fortresses a sure foothold in uncertain trenches and shell holes. Darkness was accompanied hy heavy rain, and before the unwieldy tarpaulins and camouflage nets were rolled from the tanks, crews were soaked to the skin. By nine o’clock the rain had set in for a night of it, and the ground underfoot was threshed into a sea of mud. At eleven the last tank had floundered out through the dark, and the column was ready for the march overland to the “jumping off” point behind the strip of forest on the crest. Not a glimmer of light could he allowed and it was only hy strain- ing every muscle of eye and ear that the pilots were able to hold their lumbering machines to the route. The rain and low hanging clouds made an abyss of the night, and sight was scarcely more than useless. Foot by foot, it seemed in that impenetrable darkness, they swayed through the heavy mud and across deserted trenches, until they at last came to rest at the zero hour position behind the crest overlooking Seicheprev. The seven divisions on the line were to leave their trenches at five o’clock, the Second Battalion of Tanks fol- lowing the 42nd. Preparatory barrage time from 1 :00 to 5 :00 a. m. was to shift to an intensified barrage at five, con- tinuing to six o’clock. At five minutes before one, a four- teen-inch “heavy” miles to the rear flashed out its signal. The shell burst a kilometre in advance of the waiting tanks, and its afterglow was plainly visible through the trees that dotted the crest. Immediately a dozen Very lights shot up from the Boche trench, arching above the line of the crest and bursting like startled giant eyes endeavoring to pierce the blackness ahead. Fritz was expecting a night sortie, instead of the “five o’clock tea” that was hut a few hours away. Every gun on that thirty mile line must have lent its voice to the crashing chorus that belched into the night as the hour hand touched one. From nowhere and yet from everywhere, giant tongues of flame shot into the sky. a vast semicircle of fire as far as the eye could reach to side or rear. Low hanging clouds caught the glare from the muz- zles of the guns and hurled it earthward again in shafts of crimson lightning. On and on through the night it roared: Forty-eight June, iqiy The Spectrum poignant thunder from the rear, and the screaming of a thousand shells in the blackness far overhead, as they rushed on to burst, bathed the enemy lines in showers of hurtling fire. Four hours of this! Every foot of opposite German line and every avenue of German retreat was under this hail of high explosive from French and American artillery. At five o’clock, as the waiting divisions moved out of their trenches, and the battalion of tanks pushed over the crest to join them, guns that had put over one shell in five min- utes began to hurl five in one minute, and the intensified barrage leaped ahead to pave the way for the advancing divisions. German field pieces spat viciously from their positions on the slopes of Montsec and the plateau to its rear. But the guns had done their work only too effectively, and the waves of olive drab rolled on. through St. Boussan, Maize- rais, Essey; through Pannes and Thiaucourt. A thin line of machine guns placed along the Flirey-Pannes-Beney road to cover the hurried Boche retreat offered but little resist- ance. Supporting troops beheld the guns silenced, with ammunition scarcely touched and their gunners dead be- side them. Overhead. Yankee planes accompanied by French scouts and British bombers circled and darted, flashing signals to advancing troops and moving artillery, and again swooping suddenly to punish retiring Boche with bursts of machine gun fire. Huge bombers winged far into the sky, dropping their loads of destruction on cross roads, ammunition dumps, and heavy field pieces that were l eing rushed rear- ward. A kilometre east of Montsec, just beyond the enemy second trench. Boche g s shells were bursting, sending their crawling, white clouds down through the little valley. Sup- port divisions were passing over the ground, then, in thin platoon columns, but there was little mopping up to be done. The Second Battalion of Tanks had flanked the patch of woods that lay to the right of Seicheprey, following in rear of the 42nd Division, attacking through Layhavville, St. Boussant, and Maizerais. This had been No Man’s Hand for many months and the water filled shell holes were treacherous in the extreme. Eight of the tanks came to grief here before St. Boussant was reached. Skirting the rim of one shell hole to avoid foundering in another, so thickly they pitted the earth, the shell-like edge would col- lapse without warning and the tank settle to the bottom on Forty-nine The Spectrum June, 1919 its side, giving gunner and driver a lively scramble to reach safety before they were submerged. Crews thus left without a steed were bound not to be daunted, however, and accord- ing to pre-attack order they forged ahead on foot. The rest of the battalion held intact, and advancing flanked the St. Boussant-Maizerais road, cleaning out snipers’ posts and machine gun nests as they went. At Maize- rais Major B------, heading his battalion, spotted machine gun fire coming from a lone church belfry that stood like a skeleton on guard over the ruins of the little town. As his driver manoeuvred for position the officer played four high explosives into the tower with the one-pound tank gun. Grateful doughboys said that a heavy Maxim and three mangled Bodies were the bag. Sergeant R-----------. piloting the tank of a battalion captain, was attacked a kilometre southeast of Maizerais by a Fokker. Swooping down sud- denly from nowhere, the German made a dive for the tank as it lumbered across a destroyed trench. But his stock of light bombs had been exhausted on other targets, for after a second’s harmless fusilade with machine gun, the Boche climbed back into the sky. at such an angle that the tank’s one-pound gun was useless. The tank of Sergeant S---------was one of those to capsize in a treacherous shell hole. Gunner and driver had scarcely gotten clear of the settling machine when a tardy Boche field piece on the east slope of Montsec spotted the range and commenced shelling. The first shot was short fifteen metres. Obeying the instinct which foretold the next shell to be “over” a like distance. S-------and his pilot started to crawl away on the near side. Five seconds and the warning siren of the third shell was upon them. They flattened like rats as it shrieked past, to catch the overturned machine farily on the stern, raking the motor compartment clean. The two tankers, left without a home, advanced with the infantry. Two o’clock that afternoon saw the remaining tanks and their grimy crews pulled together at Essey. primary objective of the Second Battalion. Human casualties had been ex- tremely light. Shell fire had killed one mechanic, while an officer and several men had been wounded by stray bullets. Captain C-------- had taken his pilot and was ahead on reconnaissance. Gathering three additional tanks and crews at Pannes, they circled toward Bcney, then obliqued back to the Pannes-Eamarche road, passing through and beyond Lamarche. into the strip of forest that backed the advancing wave of the 42nd Division. Everywhere the line held, and Fifty June, p p The Spectrum night fell with the 42nd securely established on the line Nonsard-Lamarche-Beney, flanked on the left by the 1st Di- vision, holding from the highlands of Montsec, and on the right by the 89th, holding both flanks of Beney, to its liaison with the 2nd Division near Thiaucourt. In twelve hours the triple line of German defences had been pierced to a depth of over six miles, on the right blade of the “scissors” that were forcing the Germans out of St. Mihiel. That night the tankers rested at Pannes and Essey, while Boche ammunition dumps burned for hours on the plateau in the rear of Montsec. Miles of them made a livid glow on the horizon that was a fitting sequel to the fierce barrage of the night before. For the Boche “Kameraden” were experiencing difficulty in getting out of the St. Mihiel salient fast enough. By morning, however, they had made surprising progress, and the 1st Division was able to effect liaison with the 26th on its left, thus sealing St. Mihiel to the Germans for the last time. Two days later they had established the line Ronvaux-Dampvitoux-Vandieres. There had been a promise the afternoon of the 13th of another opportunity to get into contact with the fleetng Boches, so the Second Tank Battalion had consolidated at Pannes in readiness. Advancing early in the forenoon upon Nonsard, they were turned back by the high command to await developments, and spent the ensuing thirty hours “en- camouflage” in dense woods lying between Nonsard and Lamarch. The 14th was a day of blue skies and brilliant fall sunshine. Aerial observation was going on apace from both sides, ankee and Boche patrols being in continual combat. Oil and gasoline had been brought up during the night for the tanks. So fuel was taken on and the machines made ready for another trip. But the infantry divisions were having all they could do to maintain fighting contact with the retreating Germans, so further aid from the tanks was unnecessary. The Second Battalion took up a position of readiness near Pannes, and on the night of the 5th retraced its steps across what had been No Man’s Land, to its original position preceding the attack, near Bernecourt. There it was joined by the First Battalion. A number of Boche prisoners were retained temporarily for the heavy work. Suffice it to say that five days later, when the tanks were again loaded, for transport north to take part in the Argonne fight that commenced on September 26. they were German hand-oiled inside, and German hand- polished outside, thoroughly!

Scarcely within the range of sight Thousands of stars are shining bright, Diffusing o'er the world their light. The night is here, and in my heart There breathes a thing, a being apart, While nameless feelings through me dart. The world around is lying still As if the great Creator's will Had breathed a soft command, until His universe lay as in sleep. And yet the angels vigil keep O'er all the earth, the boundless deep. Fiftytuo June, 1919 The Spectrum E BENKZER Com eS I N T o His O yv n LA VERNE SCROGGIN HE smoothly washed sand along the beach this early in the morning was not yet marred by any travel from the habitation overlooking its cliffs, save by the footprints evidently of two of the younger members of the settle- ment. and a third set of little toeprints so close together that the quadruped to which they belonged must have spent ten times the energy of an ordinary one in making them. A half mile farther in the sand, a third pair of toes accompanied by two continuous streaks came down from the bluff and joined the other three, and this motley crowd of Ebenezer. Sambo, Abraham and the dashhund con- tinued making tracks toward the pier. “Well, dat sho’ am some wienie dog ' Ebenezer man- aged to say as he trudged along with the great banjo strung with yellow ribbons whose appearance was not helped any by his occasional trodding on them. “Dat he am, joined in Abraham, the proud possessor of the ugly little canine. “But. say, whatcha doin' with dat banjo? Can’t catch no crabs with dat. I s’pose dem valler ribbons—” ‘Can t yuh understand nuthin’, shouted Ebenezer against the competition of waves and his black antagonist.

My mammy forbade me lookin’ at him. ‘Dis kind,' she say, ‘bring de wust of luck.’ No dere's no use talkin', no, not even if Phoebe— “ ould give yuh some mo’ yaller ribbons,” joined in the imp at his side as they all climbed into a rowboat riding at anchor in the shallow water. “P’raps, Ebenezer, if it ain’t too painful, yuh best nevah tell where dis crab groun’ am foh it s the profoundest secret. An’ keep dat banjo quiet foh Fifty-three The Spectrum June, 1919 if yuh mammy find yuh heah, not even dis rabbit foot kin save yuh.” “Nevah yo min’ me mammy,” came the supercilious reply. “She’s up to Missus Fairfax while huh nieces are theah. But pleace let me ketch jess one crab. Yuh kin hold de banjo, Sambo.” “Dis ain't no music club ’ came the disdainful reply; “dis am a crab corporation. Sh ! Run foh yoh life!” A few light tiptoes and then heavier steps now reached the ears of the little darkies under the dock and Ebenezer with the precious banjo under his arm was already shinning up one of the piers. “How romantic,” came the sweet young voice. “How did you ever think of it? It’s no telling who may answer but anyway, good-bye, old boarding school.” Ebenezer at least was relieved. “I fling you to the winds and the waves,” came the chorus of two voices. Then fly- ing steps were heard above and a crash below, for, alas! it was not to the waves the parcel was flung, but to Sambo's poor cranium. “Now pray foh yoh life,” giggled Ebenezer, who, in his paroxyms of laughter had gotten mixed up with the banjo in his rapid descent from his retreat of safety. “Shut up yoh nonsense an’ see what we’s got. Two lettahs all done up in a bottle from dem Fairfax gals. Lis- ten : ‘The tide may bear this far, perhaps to a distant clime, but in any circumstance answer to the Misses Alice and Genevieve Fairfaxs, poor creatures hounded by Greek and Latin and every ogre which an antiquated professor may force into ambitious ladies’ company.’ ” And so on the remarkable note continued. Sambo in spite of his battered head grinned with delight and Abraham fairly shrieked with anticipation, while Eben- ezer quite left out of the deal contented himself with patch- ing up the banjo strings. “Now, let’s fix up a bahgain,” began Sambo, striving to make himself more agreeable to Ebenezer. “If yuh will 'corporate me an’ Abe heah into yoh music club, yuh may join our crab ’sociation. Dat is to say. lend us de banjo while you borrow de net.” The latter accepted and the precious banjo with the bedraggled yellow riblxm was put into the hands of the serenaders. Ebenezer was truly in a Paradise, although crab hunting was the only thing to occasion his happiness. By noon he was trudging homeward, overburdened with his catch to receive the approval of his proud mammy, and an altogether different applause from his paternal parent, who had rescued his coveted musical instrument from Abraham's Fifty-four June, 1919 The Spectrum “ignorant hands.” Whether Ebenezer ever breathed the happenings at the crab grounds will never be known, but for some reason Mrs. Fairfax suddenly wrote to her brother of her incapabiilty to care longer for her loving nieces and say- ing that in her estimation the young ladies should immedi- ately resume the pursuit of their studies. For Ebenezer this was no less than an emancipation proclamation for his mammy would at least be home enough to mind the baby and he would then be freed from the household trust. Again the beach was cleared as smooth as paper from all marks other than those of the waves save the prints of a pair of bare feet and farther down two more pair merged with the first. “Goin’ with me to my crab grounds?” queried Ebenezer. “Mebbe youse would like to be corporated into my ’sociation. By de way, who am dat weinie dog? Bad luck, youse say? Wrong! Foh if I hadn’t wanted to see him when I was walkin’ with youse dis net an’ all dem crabs would nevah ha’ been mine. An’ I might ha’ run away to be a truly minstrel.” Ebenezer had at last come into his own, though perhaps it can be considered no fault of his own or of the weinie dog.

ACTON AST summer, owing to the fact that so many boys had enlisted, there was a shortage of pickers all over the northwest for the fruit and berry crops. The National Food Admin- istration decided to refer the question to the High School boys and girls and solicit their aid, otherwise the crops would be wasted. Accordingly, an appeal was made in the high schools of Portland. It was shown to the students that it would be helping the Govern- ment to harvest these crops. Volunteers were called for, and the students responded willingly. On Sunday afternoon. June 30, 1918, at four-thirty o’clock, fifty Jefferson High girls met at Fourth and Alder streets, their destination Mr. Buchanan’s Loganberry Ranch at Catching, about twenty miles out of Portland. Idle passersby may have thought some kind benefactor was holding an annual outing or something of the sort, for bed- ding and suit-cases littered the entrance, and where baggage was not, girls were. Miss Rohse, supervisor of the camp-to- be. was frantically gathereing her charges together and endeavoring to see that everything was attended to. Parents, relatives and friends issued commands, entreaties, fare- wells and much advice. As the train pulled out. a few of the last warnings floated through the open windows: ‘‘Be sure and write every day!” “Don’t overwork, dear, and do as Miss Rohse says.” “Did you take that jar of face-cream?” “Yes, yes, I'll send them. On your dresser, did you say?” etc. We were on our way! At Catching station, which isn’t much more than a flag- stop, the baggage was unloaded, the girls scrambled off. and the train and its occupants resumed their relieved way. Dust, dust, everywhere; Miss Rohse and her nephew conveyed our baggage to our camping-spot by means of her machine, and each trip raised a cloud of dust that nearly choked us. Each girl’s baggage consisted of her personal wearing apparel and “picking outfit” (either overalls or Fifty-seicn The Spectrum June, p p middy and bloomers), and a straw hat, old gloves and shoes; a knife, fork, spoon, two plates, a bowl and a dish towel. We were fortunate in not having to pitch a tent. There were several hop houses on Mr. Buchanan’s ranch, which once was a hop ranch. He had one of them cleaned out for us, and patched up in broken places and a burlap covering put over the upper floor (the drying room). We soon had nails driven to hang things on and our beds fixed. We had been told there would l e plenty of straw, so most of us brought ticks to fill. A few nailed boards along the side, making a regular bed. The big, middle part of the hop house was used as a general “living” room and dining room in the daytime, and as sleeping quarters, together with the upper floor, at night. The back part was used as a kitchen and a store room. After supper we had a meeting and decided how we were to manage things. Miss Rohse suggested a military form of government which was eagerly accepted. Five companies were formed by lot, and each chose a captain. Miss Rohse was Brigadier-General, and each captain was responsible to her for the behavior and actions of her company. The first night scarcely anyone slept. If you have never been camping you cannot appreciate the difference between a spring bed and a mattress, and a prickly straw tick. Catching has a funny climate. It is situated in a vallev and in the daytime it is too hot to be comfortable and at night it is like mid-winter. About two o’clock, when everyone was quiet and several were asleep, an awful rending and splitting sound issued from one corner of the room, followed by an ear-splitting shriek and crash. Instantly pandemonium reigned, but soon Miss Rolise s voice was heard informing us that it was nothing serious, except for the fact that her l ed had broken down. Peace and quiet once more reigned, when the night was again startled by a rej etition of the above-mentioned scene, only more violent, and this time with complications. After the two ladies had been rescued from the wreck they spread their blankets on the floor, preferring to take no more chances, and once again the King of Slumberland reigned undisputed. Regular hours were maintained during our stay, reveille sounding at 5 :30 a. m., mess call at 12 and taps at 10. The Fifty-eight June, 1919 The Spectrum bugle consisted of a large spoon, plus the dishpan, and the bugler, Mrs. Winkleman, or as we called her, “Aunty Winky.” A great deal of credit is due Aunty Winky for the part she played in making our trip a success. She was queen of the realm of pots and kettles, a very necessary part of camp life. By 6 o’clock in the morning, everyone was up and dressed, the beds made, things straightened, and ready for breakfast. We had coffee and toast, a cereal, and some- times French fried bread or hot cakes. By 7 o'clock we were in the field and hard at work. Oh, those first few days! What aches and pains of all descriptions! And how awful “camp grub” tasted! But we stuck to it, and after a few days we really enjoyed the experience. The evenings were spent in various ways. We were not far from Forest Grove, and Miss Rohse took the companies there in turn in her machine. The rest either wrote letters, took a stroll or hiked to Catching, a thriving town of about 200. Ice cream sodas never tasted so good, and only the girls who were there can appreciate the value of one. We had several bonfires over which we toasted marsh- mallows while we sang. Our favorite song was one com- posed by the girls. It ran to the tune of “N Everything,” as follows: “We’ve got the finest camp in all the world From Jefferson. We’ve got the sweetest girl in all the world For chaperon, And when the dishpan starts to ring The girls from out their beds do spring, 'X when Aunty Winky puts on the breakfast, We make a grab for Anything! We pick ’n pick ’n pick the whole day long in the berry field, And when our crates are full we get a punch From Cecil, And when our daily work is o’er. We sit around the hop-house door, And we sing ’n laugh ’n talk of High School days at Jefferson.” We had a holiday on Sunday and with a lot of fun. The Tualatin river was about two miles from camp and we Fifty-nine The Spectrum June, 9 9 went swimming. It was very swift in places and very cold, but no colder than the water in the horse trough, where we had to wash. Mr. Buchanan had several cherry trees in his yard and he allowed us free run of the place. We ate cherries till we were sick. We were very thankful to Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan for all they did for us, and the lovely treatment we received. Have you ever climbed up in a hayloft, caught your foot in a crack or had a similar accident, got your hair and clothes full of straw, and read an interesting love story? If not, you’ve never experienced a really good time. We had no lights (except one or two flashlights) which helped a great deal to enforce the military order for taps to sound at 10 o’clock. If you were skillful in the art of un- dressing in the dark, you might stay out till the last vestige of light had vanished. We were paid one and a half cents per pound, or twenty- seven cents per crate for the berries. The largest amount earned by one girl was $36.21, and the least $9.50, making the average $15.00. The total amount earned was $927.00. The greatest number of crates picked by one girl in a day was eleven and a half, and the average number of crate per girl per day was six. The total number of crates picked in fourteen days was over 3,000. We paid thirty-three cents per day for board, which was less than any other school camp, owing to the wonderfully efficient management of Miss Rohse. We broke camp on July 15, excepting a few who stayed to pick the last few berries. We came home much browner than when we left, with hands and finger nails, which we tried to hide, and with several articles of clothing ruined, but with a sense of satisfaction: for we had earned consider- able pin money, had a lovely outing and had helped Uncle Sam win the war. Sixty June, p p The Spectrum The Parable of the Foolish Virgin SADIE PRATT Now it came to pass, in the forty-third year of the reign of Wilhelm of the house of Hohenzollern of the land of Prussia, that he gathered together his forces and lifted up his hand to smite all the nations round about him. And there came a great distress upon the people of the kingdoms, which were England, France, and Belgium, beside many others; for verily, the strength and subtilty of Kaiser Wilhelm and his counsellors were very great. So the nations joined themselves together against the forces of the Prussians and there followed a mighty struggle among the armies. And there was much bloodshed, many of the men of the allies being slain upon the battlefield, for the army of the Germans was numbered as the dust of the earth. And when the people saw that they were sore pressed, with one accord they besought the inhabitants of America (which land was across the great sea), that these might bring them succor. And the inhabitants of America hearkened unto their voices, and raised a mighty army; nor did they spare to send their best beloved sons, because they perceived that the Huns would make a spoil of the whole earth, even as of Belgium, the weakest of the nations. And it came to pass, because the army must be great and the munitions thereof plentiful, that much treasure was needed to supply them therewith. Thus it happened that word went forth from the chief among them, even Woodrow Wilson, that every man, woman and child in the land should give of their substance accord- ing as the Lord had blessed them, and should buy them bonds, which would be redeemed to them after many days. Then did all the ] eople, with one accord, give gladly, even unto the third, fourth and fifth loans. Howbeit, there arose a great murmuring among some who loved not the country of their fathers and of their fathers’ fathers, and were blind, and could not see afar off the disaster that might come to pass. Sixty-onc The Spectrum June, p p Behold, in these times a certain American had three daughters which were dear unto his heart. And it came to pass that he waxed old, and lie died, and he left unto his daughter his substance. Xow the eldest daughter, who was of a wise and under- standing heart, bought of the bonds even unto the limit, spending her time in the aiding of the wounded. Likewise did the second daughter purchase bonds, keep- ing for herself a large portion that she might be in plenty. But the third maiden was of a vain and foolish mind, and when her sisters besought her, saying, “Come, buy bonds,” she answered unto them, “Go to! Shall I give up my silken raiment and fine jewels? So shall I lie found a fright in the eyes of my neighbors’ sons.” Then she went forth and bought her goodly apparel, and shoes whose latchets reached even unto the hem of her garment. And she sent forth word to her companions, that they should feast and make merry even unto the limit, making mention of matinees, and of consuming many things sweet to the taste. Now when the Huns knew that the army of the Ameri- cans was come over to destroy them, and when they saw how mighty and fearless in battle were their enemies, they were filled with fear. And as the people had provided bounteously and poured out their treasure to the government in bonds, all manner of munitions and chariots and instruments of warfare were brought forth to the battle, and great was the victory thereof. And the ruler of the land, even Kaiser Wilhelm, sent word to them, saying falsely, “Be of good cheer. Gott mit uns. He will not suffer us to be destroyed.” But the Lord saw that the Germans had slain many women and children, and had done wicked and abominable things; and His wrath was kindled against the Prussians, and He caused the Allies to smite them to the earth. Then was the great conflict among the nations of the earth ceased, and each returned unto the land from whence he had come. And behold, at the end of the years, there came a time of dearth, for the nations were impoverished, and every man sought to get gain for himself; and many were in distress because of want. Then it came to pass that the damsel who had bought many bonds, even to a great sacrifice, received them again with usury, and she had plenty and to spare. Sixty-tuo June, 9 9 The Spectrum Likewise the second obtained enough to minister unto her wants; howbeit, she had none to spare. But unto the vain and foolish daughter was nothing given. And in her want she cried unto her sisters, saying, “Give me of your supply, that I may not be in need. But the sisters made answer, saying, “Not so, lest there not l e enough for you and for us; but go unto the merchants and they will j erchance give thee work for thy hands to do, for they that work not, neither shall they eat. Therefore, verily, verily, go thou and do likewise, even as the wise virgin, that thou shalt in so doing show thy love for thy country, and also provide for the days which are to come.

Thus it was in the early days of the rural life of our country when a spinning-wheel hummed in every home, while the farmer went forth to cultivate the fields which were the source, practically, of all his food supply. The people of that day and age, when the United States was struggling for existence along the Atlantic seaboard, were almost independent as regards maintenance from the rest of the world except for a few tropical commodities which the tiny ships brought in. But this state of affairs could not last long. A great industry was growing up in the southern section which was Sixty-seven The Spectrum June, p p soon to call forth an invention benefiting the intricacies of labor routine. Through this wonderful device of the cot- ton gin, the raw product increased, and again through the improved machinery in the northern factories for making cloth, another involved scheme was added, thus calling the tillers of the soil into the centers of manufacturing and adding so many to the class dependent upon one occupation —not upon the multifold activities of rural life. And thus it has been since the time America began to grow into a nation, for whether developing her great re- sources or expanding to the western ocean, these things have been done on so large a scale that it has been difficult to get away from the idea of specialization. So involved has the business of living become that one small part of a great industry may claim the attention and time of thousands, all of which must be skilled in their line of work. Then, if we would compete for a position in the mart of the business world or in any occupation or trade, it is necessary to conform to the needs of the times and be effi- cient in the course we intend to pursue. The world does not want an individual who can do anything: it needs some- one who can do something and do it well.—La Verne Scroggin. 31 n ill e m o r i a m HARVEY BADE Died April 25,1919 Mr. Bade was a former Jefferson student of exceptional ability. He completed the four year’s course in two and one half years, grad- uating with high academic standing in the June 1917 class. He enlisted in the army and was in the overseas service for one year, after which he returned home, where he died ten days later. We of Jefferson High School take this opportunity to express our sorrow at his death and to say that Harvey Bade’s name will go down in the annals of the school as one of the men of whom Jefferson is justly proud.

Andree Tatro—Secretary. Arthur Sutton—Treasurer. Cecil Fuller—Sergeant-at-Arms. On February 11 the class of 1920 became an organiza- tion in the famous old room 52. Some time later, it chose its class colors, royal purple and gold, and its flowers, daf- fodils and violets. The members of the class became acquainted at a dance on March 15 in the gymnasium, which was gaily decorated in the class colors and flowers. The greatest day for the class since its organization was Wednesday, April 9, on which day the class received their Sixty-nine Class Play Cast The Spectrum June, iyip official gold J’s, which they wore on purple and gold rib- bons that they might be more easily seen. The January class was delightfully entertained on Fri- day, May 2, at a dance given in their honor by the June class. One of the most successful events of this semester was a County Fair given by the January class members. Not only students attended but members of the faculty as well. Andree Tatro, Secretary. Pi Delta Epsilon The members of the Pi Delta Epsilon have been quite subdued for the past two months and have not accomplished much, due to the fact that the esteemed president of the society and other honorable members were in intensive training for the June ’19 class play. Despite the fact that these members were not present a debate was arranged between the members of the society and members of Mr. Karnopp’s E7D class. The Pi Delts’ mock trial, scheduled for early in June, was very interesting. It was not a mockery to the criminal who was brought before the stern judge and unrelenting jury to make reparation for his heinous crime. No hints of bribery or partisan views were allowed in the court room. The mock trial was one of the last features of a very successful term for the society and the non-graduate mem- bers are looking forward to an equally successful term next fall. Lionel M. Clark, Secretary. Zetagathians The Zetas have had many very interesting programs this semester. One of the most delightful was an impromptu Mock Trial held in room 52. Francis MacMillan proved a worthy judge. Gertrude Smith, the victim tried, was ac- cused of mistreating certain members of the faculty. Doris Kellogg seemed to l c an experienced prosecuting attorney. The witnesses for the case were: Selma VVetteland, Anna Hartman and Andree Tatro. In spite of the prolonged court session the victim was pronounced guilty. It is hoped that the Zetas hereafter will not have to prosecute any of their members for such misdemeanors. A large part of the Zetas are members of either the June or the January class, but it is hoped that when they leave, their places will be filled by new members who will do their best to keep up the reputation of the society. Andree Tatro, Secrctarv. Seventy-two Seventy-four Fire Squad The Spectrum June, 1919 Naemphi President—Agnes Haroldson. Vice-President—Helen Gehrett. Secretary—Mildred Galvin. Treasurer—Gladys I)ix. Editor—Florence Royal. Sergeant-at-Arms—Inez Clark. This term has been an exceedingly busy one for the Naemphi girls. The initiation party, held February 28. started the ball rolling and it has been going at a steady rate ever since. The part that the Naemphi took in the Live Wire Vaude- ville proved very successful and did credit to those partici- pating. On Friday. May 9, the girls were delightfully enter- tained by the pedagogy girls of Washington High' School. The dance given by the Lincoln girls. May 23, was also a great success. Aside from social events, the club has had some very instructive work. On May 14, Miss Ingalls took the girls on a hike and besides the enjoyment, they received an excel- lent lesson in physical geography. The talk which Miss Hardy gave to the girls on “Indoor Games in Rural Schools” was also of great value from a pedogogical standpoint. As a whole, the girls feel that they have been greatly benefited by the work this term and hope that the future members of the Naemphi will derive as much pleasure and benefit from the club as they have. Florence Royal, Editor. Tri-El les The 1 ri-Elles have had many good times this term, of which the best were the several skating parties at the Oaks and the swimming “party” at Shattuck School. In the recent Live Wire Vaudeville the girls who were instrumental in making the presentation of the characters from Mother Goose a success were: Miriam Fox, Doris an Groos, Dorothy Blyberg, Gladys Ilarshberger, Dorothy Buckman, Stella an leet, Lola Dobbins, Lillie Karpinen, and Queen Cheadle. 1 he study of the birds which are to lx found in and about 1 ortland has been taken up, and as the girls find it very interesting they are planning to continue it next term. Marjorie Van Groos, Editor. Set 'enty-six Seventy--eight The Spectrum June, ipip The Girls1 Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club has just completed a very profitable and enjoyable year under the leadership of Mr. George Wilbur Reed. Their debut in the Live Wire Vaudeville met with marked success. Under a new system devised by Mr. Reed the girls receive a grade each month for their work in the Glee Club and receive credit upon their pink cards. It is thought that this may encourage a great many girls to take up the study of vocal music next term. Next semester the girls are planning to present an operetta for which preparations have even now been started. The Orchestra The Orchestra has just completed one of the most suc- cessful terms since its organization. Resides assisting with the Class Play, Live Wire Vaudeville and Commencement, the Orchestra, for the first time played for the Freshmen- Senior reception. The Orchestra also gave a concert which was something new in the annals of Jefferson. The Orchestra consists of thirty-five talented young musicians and it is hoped that there will be a much larger membership next term. A cordial invitation is extended to all students who are musicians to join the Orchestra. J. Skelton, Secretary. Live Wires The past term has been a very successful one for the Live Wires. The vaudeville was one of the greatest suc- cesses ever staged at Jefferson. The Spectrum subscriptions this term were very large and a good percentage of tickets was sold for every game. If the Live Wires next year succeed in living up to the reputation of the present Live Wires, the activities of the school promise to be well supported. Frances Lounsbury, Secretary. Technical Club The Technical Club has been very active lately. It has visited the St. John’s Municipal Terminal, the Simonds’ Saw Manufacturing Plant and the Carman Manufacturing Company. These trips were of the greatest interest. The “Low Jinks” which was held in the school gym- nasium on May 9 was a decided success. The tug-of-war between the “Blues” and “Golds” started out very badly for Eighty Usher Corps Tri-Elies Eighty-three Orchestra June, 1919 The Spectrum the “Blues” but they rallied and pulled the entire opposing force across the line. The pie-eating contest, sack races, three-legged races and camel fights were very enjoyable, also the “necktie parties” were enjoyed by all, but particu- larly by the participants. The crowning event of the even- ing was the “feed” held in the school cafeteria. Everyone had so much “coffee and” and pie that belts were decidedly tighter. As a whole, the “Low Jinks” was one of the best ever held in this school. Walter E. Holman, Secretary. Assemblies On April 16 the students and teachers of Jefferson en- joyed one of the most charming musical assemblies of the term. Air. A. E. Davidson, the vocalist for that day, made a particularly happy selection of songs, every one of which was thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone at Jefferson gave an enthusiastic second to Air. Jenkins invitation to Air. David- son to return again at an early date. On April 24 the senior classes and the faculty were given the opportunity of hearing Lieutenant Bab of the American Flying Corps. who has returned recently from the front. He gave a very graphic account of some of his experiences which were certainly hair raising. Lieutenant Bab had his arm and part of his jaw shot away, but was very cheerful and showed the same spirit that characterizes all of our boys who have been “over there.” April 30, the student body of Jefferson had the honor of listening to one of Portland’s finest musical artists, Air. John Clare Monteith. Air. Alonteith has made several visits to jefferson and it seems as if he is enjoyed more every time, if such a thing could be possible. Alay 5. Dean Foster, the Dean of Women at the Oregon Agricultural College, gave a very impressive address and left some very helpful ideas in the minds of most of her hearers. , At the same assembly, the track team presented the school with the Northwest Championship which it had won at Corvallis. Besides winning the meet, the individual mem- bers of the team brought away medals too numerous to mention. . .. . . Alay 7, Dr. Emil Enna, pianist, and Air. Staub, violinist. gave an interpretation of Scandinavian music. Dr. Enna ave a very interesting speech in which he named a great many of the celebrated Scandinavian composers and told something of their works.

He was closely followed by “Chuck right, who won three races, one of them a “neck and neck race in the 440 relay. Coulter tied the state record in the 100 yard dash, making it in 10 1-5 seconds. “Chet” Froude won the pole vault and high jump, but in so doing injured his arm. making it impossible for him to participate in the following meet a week later at Eugene I lammctt won in the high jump, broad jump, and shotput, tallying 8 points. “Biscuit” Driscoll drew No. 4 for his entry number and placed fourth in four events. Next time he is going to fight for No. 1 and then just watch him. Walter Blaesing ran a fine race in the relay, as did Kreugar, King and W right. Kreugar also placed in the half mile. “Dick” Faville placed in the shotput, along with Ham- mett and Kisky. Ted Deggendorfer and McAndie placed in the hurdles, the former in the low and the latter in the high. “Russ” Drinker won a first and second in the hurdles and also in the high and broad jumps. The track team was royally entertained by the Sigma Cliis, who did everything possible to give the fellows a good time. The old Jefferson spirit sure comes out fine and strong in college. “Chuck's” new hobby is peanuts. “Biscuit” Dirscoll’s lucky number is 4. Four biscuits for breakfast, four fourth places, No. 4. and four biscuits for dinner.

Every member of the team representing Jefferson placed and together totaled 34 points. Coulter pushed Tuck hard, so hard that the state and northwest records were broken in the 100 yard dash.

McKalson won second in the mile; McAndie third, and Drinker fourth in the high hurdles: Blessing fourth in the 880: Dick haville fourth in the discus; Clarence King won first in the 440 and Fred Kruegar placed second. The relay team won the cup this vear. The members of the team were: Coulter, Driscoll, King and Anderson. The track team was entertained during its stay in Eugene by the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, which gave the fellows a good time. W hile our track team lost, it lost with good grace. I nese world wonders” do not grow on bushes, but when they do. well, we lost well, and Jefferson has just reason to feel proud of her track team. 1 The writer finds it quite convenient to be editor of this section—enough said.

Lefty” Sullivan on second played a big league game. Ed Peeke held down third, while Bis- ctiit” Driscoll played his first game at center and got away with it in fine form. Eighty-nine The Spectrum June, p p Co 1 u m bia-Jefferson Game Jefferson won its fourth straight victory when she de- feated Columbia in one of the closest and most exciting games of the season. The score was held to a 3 to 1 vic- tory and proved to be a pitchers’ battle. Two runs were registered in the first inning by Burton and Sullivan. The third tally was gathered in by Gray, who made a fine hit toward the clubhouse and upon an error stole home. Columbia tried for a ninth inning rally but it was short- lived and only one score put across the home plate. Grav and Andrews were Jefferson's battery. Keating and Driscoll upheld Columbia. Franklin-Jefferson Game The two runs by the Blue and Gold saved the day for us in the Quaker game. The score was 4 to 3 up to the seventh inning when Coulter brought in a run on Mim- naugh’s single, thereby ticing the score. Jefferson made two more in the eighth to Franklin’s one and the tallying ceased for the day. “Russ” Burton made a homer on a clean hit. coupled with an error by Franklin in a wild throw at first. Gray and Andrews were Jefferson's battery. Corns, Thomas and Hopson were Franklin’s battery. The largest crowd of the season was present to view the tussel, which proved to be the best of the season. Benson-JefFerson Game The Mechanics from Benson lost to Jefferson to the tune of 10 to 5 in the second game of the series. Anderson twirled his first game of the season, fanning 18 men and allowing but four hits, thereby breaking the record for the season. Andrews played a stellar game behind the bat and managed to land one on every trip to the bat. Coulter backed up the team at short to perfection and sure lived up to his name, “Speed.” “Spec” Hammett, the right field, showed a fine eye at the bat. “Russ” Burton at first reached for them fine and showed that he was growing into his position. The batteries for Benson were Baker and Feldman. Ninety PECK THIRD BASE amorces. niMMAuon cATCME R5 • COACM H BURKE.

John Wright, who is a mill-wright, one day sat down on the right side of his writ- ing desk to write a letter to his uncle. John was not very well versed in religious rites, hut as his uncle was a minister, he had to have his letter just right. The letter which (leorge Wright. John Wright’s uncle, received from John Wright, who wrote the letter which we mentioned above, was really a right cordial invitation to spend the summer at the Wright home. (icorge Wright, John Wright’s uncle, after thinking it over, said, “All right. I’ll accept it.” After performing some parting rites which by the way were re- pairing the right-of-way in front of (icorge Wright’s house, which a cement wright ought to have done, (leorge Wright left for John Wright’s home, where he spent a right pleas- ant summer. DOINGS OF THE 100 It is with deep sorrow and regret that we announce our inability to give forth unto the public eye the doings of “Bashful” Dick Faville. But, gentle reader, please do not blame the editor for this grave omission and we will explain. The other day. as we were struggling to overcome the pull of gravity while ascending the last flight of stairs before reaching senior heaven, Mr. Faville descended upon us, saying, “ Ed. (meaning editor) please do not mention my name in ‘the ghastly sheet.’ ” We were inclined to laugh, hut when we thought of his football record, decided not to. We said instead, “But why this modesty, Richard Coeur de Leon?” He returned with a sickly grin, “No, not modesty, Ed. I take the ‘Spectrum home. —The Editor.

Inspa Ration EDITORIAL The “Specter” is the unofficial publication of the more feeble-minded students of Jef- ferson High School. It is published as often as the editors get enough inspiration to fill two pages, fine print, of the “Spectrum.” All communications should he addressed to me. Entered as thirteenth class matter at the Podunk postoffice. Fellow Student! Brothers! In the last few' months we have heard much of that grand and glorious organization, the Fool- shevicii. All over the universe the op- pressed are rising against the oppressors. If others are revolting against this terrible tyranny why cannot we follow in their feet- steps ? Who, () fellow sufferers, who are more oppressed than we? We are not allowed t« hold races in the halls! We arc not allowed to skip obnoxious classes!! Why, we are not even allowed to slide down the banisters!!! Therefore, let us follow the example of that great sect of benefactors, the hoolshevics, an l overthrow the oppression of the faculty. All the brothers ami sisters in favor of the plan set forth herein will refuse to attend school after the thirteenth (13th) of June and will remain on strike for two and a half (2yl) months. DEAD-ICASHUN We hereby dedicate this issue of the Specter to Mr. Disk Paville, who has suffered most through its columns. SAD BUT TRUE Do not he fooled by Howdy Smyth’s “dig- nity.” We. personally and with our own eyes, saw him swinging between two desks. Howard, we have uncovered your true char- acter! • It has been roomered—our mistake— rumored that a certain Mr. Whitten occa- sionally indulges in the pastime of canoeing on Oswego Lake. We also hear that should the canoe upset. Gene would have someone else to rescue besides himself. We are sure that Frances MacMillan and Marjorie Flegel had a very nice spin in that nice new Oldsniobile machine of L. L.’s (This has been kept a secret for some time, hut the truth will out.) A certain young man (we dare not men- tion names. See “Doings of the aoo) has been calling at the same home for five con- secutive evenings. Why, oh why do you do thusly,—-the Lion Hearted?

Then our life seems dark and empty, All the world a place of scorn, While the future looms up gloomy With its prospects drear, forlorn. But if we will only labor, Struggle to forget the past, W hat a lot we may accomplish While our life on earth shall last. Thus we may o’ercome our sorrow, Turn a new page in our lives, By our bravery bring back gladness If the spirit so contrives.
