On the thirteenth day of June, 1920, the Fairmont moved slowly out of New York harbor. ‘ Among the passengers, one would have been keenly interested to see a striking- looking young lady with an abundance of auburn hair, waving a tiny white handker- chief to some friends until they became mere specks, indistinguishable in the dis- tance. Then her eyes wandered up to the skyscrapers and a feeling of homesick- ness crept into her heart, predominating over her delight in the long looked-for foreign trip. After all the United States was her home and as the iall buildings, too, became indistinct, a little lump rose in her throat and turning to conceal her emotion, she noticed a familiar figure clad in blue serge leaning over the’ railing, gazing at the fast vanishing city. As she looked at him, he glanced in her direction and she obtained a square look at his face. With an exclamation of surprise she rushed toward him, and the young man startled out of his deep medi- tation by a girlish voice at his side saying, “Why, Philip, is it really you?” The amazed Philip swung reund and started back, for in her he recognized a classmate and grasping her hand, he man- aged to utter the one word, “Hazel!” Hazel’s merry laugh brought him to him- self and he added, ‘‘What luck! But are you alone, and where are you going?” “Ves, all alone and I am going to join mother and father in Rome—from there we are going on an extended tour through the various European countries.” “Good! I, too, am going to Italy, have been working hard at law, so just thought T would bolt off for 2 little vacation, and the old seat of empire is my destination.” “Veg JT have read in the papers of the many sensational cases you have won. What a name you are making for yourself, Philip! I am not surprised, though, be- cause I re member how you used to bluff in high school and always managed to win your point.” Philip laughed. “Speaking of high school, it’s a queer coincidence, isn’t it, that we should meet today, eight years after graduation? Just eight years ago today we assembled in the old building as a body for the last time.” “How time flies,’ mused Hazel with a sigh, then brightening, “I just left Madera last Monday.” ? “You did?’’ Philip’s voice rang with de- light, ‘‘then of course you have seen some of the members of our class lately, or have heard of them, at least. Come, let’s sit down and talk over old times.” They seated themselves in the large. comfortable steamer chairs; then Hazel began, “I saw Hazel Crow just ‘before I left. You know she went to Stanford and is now teaching English and Latin in the Madera High School. Lovely for her to be right at home, isn’t it?” “Good for Hazel! I can just see her spluttering around, and can’t you hear her saying, “That boy makes me so tired; he never has his Latin? And where’s Dora? I suppose she is coaching a girl’s basket ball team somewhere.” Jie sPUREER |2 AND WHITE “O, haven’t you heard about Dode? She painted a picture that every one is going wild over. It is hanging in the Louvre in Paris. She went abroad shortly after graduating from Hi and studied in the art schools in France and Italy and has ac- complished wonders. No other young artist has received such honors as Dora.”’ Philip clapped his hands. ‘“‘I knew she could do it! I will go to the Louvre to see Dora’s masterpiece. Is John still in Ma- dera?”’ “Oh, John owns a large ranch in Imperial Valley. He managed his fat her’s place so well for several years that he amassed quite a fortune, which he invested in the rich southern county. He’s simply coining money now; will be a second John D.’’ “Hurrah for John! It’s not surprising though—remember how he used to man- age financial affairs at school? And speak- ing of John reminds one of Isabel. What has become of her?’’ “Isabel is a trained nurse as she planned, but it is rumored that a certain young man has finally persuaded her to believe he is the only cne in the world who needs her care, so she has decided that that may be SOmue “What a lucky fellow he is! became of Harl?”’ ‘ “Oh, Earl is a German professor, in the San Jose High School. They say that he just works the poor children to death, and is so strict—taking his vengeance out on them for the way Mr. Thompson used to hand it to him, I guess.” Philip threw back his head and laughed. “Well, if that doesn’t beat. everything. Who would ever have thought it of Harl? Is Mae Burgess still in Madera?’’ “Yes, and she loves a flirtation as much as ever and has the same trouble in trying to keep two or more fellows going at the same time and in preventing conflicts on the same evening.”’ “What a true picture. I suppose Winna is leading the four hundred of Madera?’ “Right you are that she is leading the ‘four hundred’ but not in Madera. The little burg became too tame for her, so she flew to Los Angeles and leads an airy, but- terfly life there, One often reads But what worn at and whole pink teas descriptions of her gowns certain social functions columns describing her and dress balls.” “Ts David still in the old town?”’ “Oh, no! David has blossomed into a great orator. His chief subject is ‘Reform Politics.’ His speeches are certainly caus- ing a great political sensation, and are copied by endless newspapers and spread broadcast. “Hilda went to San Jose Normal and taught a year but decided that housekeen- ing held greater charms so submitted to the holy bonds of matrimony. She lives in a beautiful little vine-covered home in the Raymond vicinity.” “So Hilda is married, and Hazel—what of her—I fully expected to hear of a sec- ond Mae Sutton—don’t you ever play tennis any more?- “T? Oh, I feel sometimes that mine has been a selfish career— nothing but my hard grinding music to show for these eight years. You remember I was always crazy abcut scenery, so Father has let me go to my heart’s content-—visited all the scenic features of our good old U. S. A.—now I’m off for greater fields. Sometimes 1] feel I ought to have helped the less for- tunate girls instead of spending all my time on myself.” “NCCU thropie stunts, still have time for your philan- Hazel. You were always a great one to plan. Those were great old times at high school. Remember how we used to work our hedds off, each trying to get ahead of the other? Sometimes you were ahead, sometimes I. Even in debates we were listed as opponents.”’ “Where’s May Wood?” “Oh, Philip! just look at that whale spout! Isn’t it large?” The class of 1912 was forgotten for the time. ® There are many lovely evenings on deck where Mother Nature added to the pic- turesque scene, with the mocn’s bright rays and twinkling stars contrasting with a few dark clouds, which made it impossible for one to remain inside, Waele, IPUIRIALIE 3 AND WHITE On such evenings, one might have seen a young man in blue and a girl with auburn hair a little apart from the rest of the crowd. We will not follow them and their con- versation, however. our purpose. It has already served It is enough to know that the voyage came to an end all too soon for them, and that Philip joined the Osborn party when they left Rome the trip through the different countries. for eared Juropean The Professor PHILIP CONLEY. “Mevers,’ said Old Jackson, “‘are mostly all pretty bad. But taking ’em all for all, there’s none of ’em worse than the gold fever. Why a man’s crazy as a bed-bug when he’s got it. Back in ’49 there was a whole lot of folks got this here disease— all kinds of men, perfessers and preechers and street-sweepers and bums. It was a great crowd that shipped from Noo York on the Aerial, the time I came, all kinds of men, but they was all talking gold, gold —nothing else. And of all the men on that boat there was only one that I ever heard of made anything and most helpless locking and ignorantest man on board—not ignorant in books—he knew a whole lot about these here dead Greeks and Byetalians, but he didn’t ing about life out here—was plumb ignor- ant on how to take care cf himself. We had berths together to Panama and I seen him every day. he was the know noth- He never went out much—got sick when the waves rolled a little high— and was all the time reading books with funny names. One day I says to him, “What are you going out here for?’’ And he says, “ I got to make some money, I just got to—I want to write a beok and I haven’t and my family, my mother,’ and then le told me all about how he was hard up since his father had gone bust and died. Always had things easy, studied all the time and didn’t know how to work. And then this gold fever commenced to spread and he got it. Imagined he could pick up lumps of any money it any others, I can place, and so did a whole lot of too. him when Panama, walking up between two rows of little black (they was havin’ one of them alleged wars then). He was kind of tall and thin—not a miner’s build. His eyes was much bad light. He wore a black suit and a stove-pipe hat and was carrying a bag in one hand and a big the other. He read all the way train. When we on the we got separated and I was kind of glad, because he kept the light burning to read at night when I wanted to sleep. The last I seen of him was at Frisco. see now we got off at soldiers weak—too book in the “Sonoma’”’ over on got “Where are you bound for?”’ I says. “Why, I haven't decided,” he, “‘it don’t much difference though does it?—one place’s ’s good as another.” “Well, good-bye,’’ I “and I Vio eke says make says, wish It was about six months afterwards when I seen him again.

And I went in and there was nothing to eat there—I could swear to that, but them Greek books was there. And then he told me how he’d worked and worked and couldn’t make no money, and I was so sorry I got my hat and had business to attend to quick. When I got back to Coulterville that night the boys all joshed Me about my friend the Perfesser, as they called him, but I got up and made a speech and I’ve got just enough Irish in me to orate when necessary. “Boys,” says I, “this here feller’s sick. He ain’t gota thing in his cabin to eat and what’s more he won’t have because he ain’t sot no gold in his hand—you all know that. He ain’t fit for this kind of a life and he wants to go home and he’s got a mother and two sisters back in Boston. Now, boys,” I says, “don’t be pikers. The Perfesser has got to make a strike and make it quick. He won’t take no money from, us—that mine of his has got to pro- Grice I threw a bag of dust on the table and about six or eight of ’em followed suit. T guess they all- felt pretty sorry for the Perfesser when they thought about him. We discussed plans and specifications for about half an hour and then me and Charley Doughtery took the dust and hiked up to the Perfesser’s place. There was a light in the cabin—T suppose he was im- provin’ his mind. We went over by the creek and salted the ground all around, putting the dust down deep, so’s he wouldn’t suspect anything, The next morning me and Charley saunt- ered up to the Perfesser’s place as if we done it by chance. We figured to see him down at the sluice, but he wasn’t there and IT got kinder worried for fear he’d died, Charley pushed the door open. The Per- fesser lay in his bunk—had a fever, face all red, and he was too weak to get up— had a book in one hand but was too weak to read. “Morning!”’ I says, ‘How are you?” He says weak, “‘Can’t work my claim this morning—sick a little.”’ “Quinine and calomel will fix VOU eal Says, but I knew a good square meal and less food for thought was what he needed. “Tf you don’t object, me and Charley will be pleased to work your claim this morn- bel” SES Te “Why if you would,” he says. “It’s too bad to le t it rest— J know there’s gold there but I haven’t got at it yet.” “IT think myself there’s gold there,” T says, looking wise at Charley. We went out to the sluice and had a fine pile of our galted gold in the box pretty prento. It showed up fine and we run up to the cabin quick, Charley laughing to himself all the time. “Look a here, Perfesser,”’ says I, “You didn’t get down deep enough. Here you are!” He was so pleased he set up in bed and smiled and looked WE Major, il knew I had a fortune there,” he says. “Now I can go home.” “We’re some speculators,’ says I, “and will be glad to extend an offer of five hun- dred.”’ We'd fixed on that price as the highest that the combined wealth of Coul- terville could give for a worthless claim, and we felt quite proud, but the Perfesser’s face straightened out and he says, “It’s worth two thousand if it’s worth a dollar!’”’ “But, boys,” Says he after a moment, “seeing all that you’ve done for me, I'll knock off a thousand,”’ and he smiled like a real pheelanthropest. Me and Charley was dumfounded but ag I sez before, there ain’t no Trish pikers, and Charley was Irish, too. “We must confer with our associates,” says Charley. “Ts there anything that you would like to have sent Upsto you?’ “Yes,” he smiled. “Now that I’ve struck it, he says, “you can send up stuff for a square meal.’’ “Very well,’ I Says, and we done it. ® R The boys was a little harder to move this time—none of us had much—mining up there wasn’t sure—all pocket mining— but after a while we raised enough an@ RTE OILS: AND WHITE 15 Charley and me was appointed the com- mittee to purchase the claim. We found the Perfesser cooking the grub we sent up—he was better already and af- ter a square meal his symptoms mostly dis- appeared. The claim was turned over to us and he left that very day for Snelling, riding on a mule—from the back he looked like Abe Lincoln, Charley says. The boys never said much that night— we was all broke and didn’t have no rosy prospects—but as Charley says, the Per- fesser needed it more than us. Oh, no, the claim wasn’t no good—never figured it would be. Ever hear of the Perfesser again? About a year afterwards, they brought a _ big bundle up from Stockton and when I opened it I was some surprised to see a big book by the name of ‘‘Foreign Philosophers.” I thought they’d made a mistake until I saw the Perfesser’s name on the cover. It was dedicated to “My Mine on Maxwell’s Creek, which has enabled me to write this book.” The Deserted Village LINTON R. MANTONYA. O Borden, fairest city of the west, Of all the county’s towns you once were best, Before Madera’s prosperous city rose And. brought your business to a speedy close. H’er yet the boundless acres of our west- ern plain Were broken by the plow and sowed with grain, While yet Sierra’s snowy peaks down . On barren desert fields with scarce a town, When yet no pleasant orchards spread their shade. No cooling groves a welcome refuge made For travelers in this new and unknown land, burning sand, looked And breezes swept the burning When firey whirlwinds scourged the dusty plain And all was parched and dry for lack of rain, The pioneers of Borden took their stand To change this desert to a fruitful land; And brought to light by steady patient toil The riches of our greatest mine, Madera’s soil. Soon fields of brown gave place to fields of green little tween And irrigation, watering all the plain, Brought with its welcome floods increasing rain, And thriving farms sprang up and _ pros- pered till A busy throng did Borden’s markets fill. A blacksmith shop was built, a village store, A fine hotel, a dozen homes or more; The busy streets a fine appearance made And all the countryside went there trade. And thus the village grew and prospered till Madera got her flume and lumber mill. But with the opening of the Sugar Pine Originated Borden’s swift decline, And Borden’s village sank into decay. Madera’s sunrise ended Borden’s day; And all of Borden’s bravest and her best Departed for the new born city in the west. Though many years have passed _ since Borden’s day, Madera’s boom seems to have come to stay; The products of a thousand farms markets fill And every morning finds her still. And now one’s eyes are greeted by the scene Of pleasant thr iving farms and fields of green, And here and there are shady groves of trees. One’s face is greeted by the cooling breeze That breathes the fragrant breath of new- mown hay; With orchards interspersed be- to her growing 16 THE RURREE AND WHITE The meadow larks announce the coming day; The fields are clad in verdant beauty, where In Borden’s time the earth dry bare.

We're looking forward to a time, When men will sail the sky; When they will navigate the air, And any one can fly. The birdmen say the time is near, That soon as. birds we'll be. We'll ride no more upon the earth, Nor sail upon the sea. They say they’ll live up in the sky. But they’ll never do these things; Before men: ever float in air They’ll have to grow some wings. So men can never, never soar As eagles in the sky; And if we ever float on air, ’Twill be machines that fly. The Rescue Of Ezekiel RUTH BAKER. Mr. Ezekiel Obediah Joshua Brown was his name. Who was he? Can you by any stretch of imagination, picture anyone be- longing to such a name as that, except a very respected, staid, dignified deacon of the church? To be sure, Mr. Ezekiel Brown was very staid and dignified but there was surely something the matter with him, something had found its way into his blood; for convenience, we will lay it to the mi- crobe of sweet balmy June, although his wife declar ed it was spring fever. At any rate, Mr. Brown announced at the pbreakifast table one morning that he meant to have a picnic out under apple trees, and invite all “the brethern and sistern of the church” and perhaps a few of the neighbors. Accordingly, the next Sunday, he = an- nounced his intention in church, and as a consequence, had to shake hands with each separate individual afterwards. At last the great day came, the tables were placed under the apple trees quite early in the morning; then, when all was ready, Mirandy, in her best bomibazine and Ezekiel in his shiny swallow tail sat down to wait, but Mirandy, woman like, could not rest until she had scared up a few doubts. “Say, now, Zek, suppose they did not come after all, what if it should rain, may be,’’—but this sentence was never finished, for her doubts were set at rest by seeing what seemed like the whole population of Dolesville turn in at the long drive lead- ing to the house. The morning pagsed all too quickly but just at twelve they were all seated under the fragrant canopy of white apple blos- soms. trace had been said and some had already begun to satisfy their appetites when, suddenly, Mirandy remembered that there wasn’t a drop of water in the house. She drew Ezekiel over to one side, and hastily thrusting a large tin pail into his hand, commanded him to run down to the well and fetch a pail of water. Wzekiel, with a little good will, did as he was or- dered. The well was over a little knoll beyond the orchard and quite out of sight of the banquet and for this he “‘thanked his stars” later on. Mr. Brown had drawn the water and was resting a moment after his stren- uous exertion when, hearing a noise be- hind him, he whirled about and there, not ten yards away from him, was “Blijah,”’ the old battering ram. His head was down and his feet were making the dirt fly. There was only one thing to do and our highly re- his 18 THE PURPLE AND WHITE spected and dignified deacon did it. He grabbed his bucket of water and lit out on arun for the house. With great agility, he slowed down to a dignified walk. If any one noticed his disheveled appearance, noth- ing was said and dinner went on without further interruption. Really, it was not the fault of the good “brethern and sistern” but the weather was exceedingly warm and consequently they were exceedingly thirsty, and so, before dinner was half finished, Mr. Brown started for the spring with many misgivings but, when he saw that ‘Elijah’ was in the fur- ther end of the field, he picked up courage and made a hasty dash for the well. It all happened so suddenly he hardly knew what had struck him, but he found him- self sitting on the ground some distance from the well and ‘Elijah’ preparing for another grand dash. The venerable dea- con clutched his pail and made a dash for the spring and barely reached it in time, for “Elijah” was determined to square things up with that red silk handkerchief tucked in the deacon’s collar. Then the tension of the situation was relieved by Mirandy’s calling, ‘““Ezekiel! Oh! Ezekiel!” “Yes, I’m coming,” he shouted back, and risking all, he sprinted for the wire fence for safety. He reached it but so did the ram and went through it as if it were made of paper. Up the hill they went, the deacon leading but the ram gaining, and, just as they reached the tables, he lifted the deacon off the ground and landed him beneath the table. The deacon clutched at the cloth as he fell and soon had the whole dinner on his head or whould have had if he had remained there, but he was too wise for that. He scrambled out and made for the nearest tree where he was sure of safety and, from his retreat he watched the pro- ceedings, as with chairs and clubs they drove the refractory ‘“‘Elijah’’ back to the field. undignified retreat and sneaked Then he scrambled down from his into the house, and there they found him when they returned, looking very pale and sheep- ish, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (This is supposed to take place a short time before the opening of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.’’) Scene—Macbeth’s Castle. : Lady M.—What do you think on, good my lord? Your body only’s present here. Your mind is far away. Mac.—Did you speak? Lady ‘M.—I ask you what this is that makes you dream when the bright-burning sun is at its height; what secret troubles hide you in your breast?

These boys had been brought THE PURPLE AND WHITE 19 up in the same town and were the closest of friends. Both boys did well in their studies and were fairly good athletes. The college had recently adopted Rugby in place of the old American game of foot- ball. Both boys had turned out for first practice and now that about a month of hard work had been completed, they were getting in good condition. Jack, although not quite so large as Ray, was heavier and showed better form. One day after practice the coach was giv- ing some orders to the players. There was considerable disorder in the room, most of which was due to some pranks of Ray. The coach, thinking that the disorder was due to Jack, said sharply, “Just let up on that racket, Bryant.” “Are you talking to me,” exclaimed Jack in astonishment. He did not mean it to be impertinent but to Coach Endicott it showed that way, and it made him angry so he said, “Shut up, now or you 'go off the squad al- together.” “T don’t see that that is very fair,’ Jack was aroused and forgot to be respectful. “You don’t need to report for practice any more, Bryant,” this from Endicott sur- prised all the boys for he had never been so strict before. He left and there was not much more said in the dressing room that evening. Most of the boys realized that, if at the beginning of the trouble, Ray had told the coach he was to blame, Jack would not have been expelled from the squad. How- ever, he had not heard quite all the dis- cussion and didn’t realize that he was to blame for Jack’s dis- missal. None of the other boys said any- thing for they didn’t want to hurt Ray’s feelings. The captain, Floyd Elliott, was a good friend of Jack’s and wanted him on the squad. He went to the coach but Endi- cott said Jack would not return unless he apologized. This, all the boys knew, he would not do as he thought he was in the right. They then decided that they would find some other way to get him reinstated. Will Bingham, one of the best players, was one of the most enthusiastic and all evening was trying to devise means of get- ting Jack reinstated without hurting Ray. Most of the others didn’t think much about it but Leslie Ralston, Robert Martin and Steve Garvin were all very enthusiastic. Will hit upon a nice scheme and one day when several boys were gathered together, Ray among them, he began telling a story. He had not gone far when most of the boys saw that he was just illustrating Jack’s case. By the time he was through Ray understood and, although he didn’t say anything then, he walked off in a_ very thoughtful way. The next day the boys saw Ray talking earnestly to Coach Endicott. Endicott war acting in sort of a stubborn bull-headed way and the boys guessed rightly when they said that Ray was trying to fix things so as to get Jack reinstated. Ray told Endicott the truth about it and ended by saying, “I am sorry that I didn’t wake up to what the trouble was then, but I hope that, now I have explained it, you'll let Jack play.”’ “T hardiy think I can do that. I am glad that you confessed but Jack talked back to me and that’s one of the things i won’t stand for.” “You mean then that even now Jack can’t play unless he apologizes.” “Yes, that’s just what I mean.” Ray was puzzl d what to do next as he had expected that when he told the truth to Endicott Jack would get to play. All the boys were disappoined and were disposed to accuse Endicott of being unjust. How- ever, they didn’t give up and, afler a con- ference, it was decided that Earl Hazard, the boy who took Jack’s place skould pre- tend to be sick. He was smaller than most of “hem and had only come out once upon being coaxed by several of his friends. He williagly agreed to this plan as he would do anything he could for Jack, who was one of his heroes. The next day Earl didn’t show up. The coach inquired about it and was told he was sick. Endicott didn’t know what to do as Earl was the only cne who could fill Jack’s place. He had almost decided to let Jack play when he overheard Earl's little brother say to another boy, “HWarl is 20 THE PURPLE AND WHITE playin’ sick so Jack Bryant can play. Earl don’t like to play much and Jack is a good player so the fellows fixed this to force the coach to let Jack play. The coach is sort of bull-headed anyway.” Coach Hndicott was so interested in the first part of the statement that he forgot to get angry at the latter part. The more he thought about it the angrier he got and as he put the boys through some hard practice he kept saying to himself, “Tll show these smart kids whether they can get the best cf me oi not. Jack Bryant don’t play with my consent unless he apolo- gizes.”’ The boys wondered why he seemed so gruff and thovehtful but didn’t have any idea that he had found out their scheme. When they weve dressing after practice the Mystery was explained. The boys had been talking and joshing each other when sud- denly the coach signaled for silence. “T den’t know who originated ihat bright, magnificent, witty, splendid scheme,’ he began in a sarcastic way, “but I want to say right now that it doesn’t work. If you fellows want Jack Bryant to play, don’t try any more of your brilliant schemes, but get him to apologize. Unloss he apologizes he don’t play as lung as I’m coach. If you would rathcr have him play than have me coach I will resign, but as I said before, I don’t want lyou to try any more such schemes.”’ This came as a thunderstroke to the boys as they had expected instead of that, to have him order the captain to bring Jack out. After the coach had left everything was quiet for awhile. Then Bob Miartin hit upon a scheme. “You fellows all know as well as I do,” that coach Endicott has a weakness for auto rides and the lunches at those eating houses along the road. There are three of us here that can get seven passenger ma- chines; lets take Endicott, Jack and the whole squad for a ride, and, while he is in a good humor, Cap can speak to him and see if he won’t repent and let Jack play.” That was Friday and the next evening the party took their trip. Bob was in the machine with Jack, and the captain in the one with Coach Endicott. Bob talked awhile about the country and then, in a quiet way, he led up to the trouble with the coach. Bob was a smooth talker and by the time they arrived at their destination Jack had almost resolved to apologize. In the meantime the captain had been doing all he could to make Endicott enjoy himself. They had, of course, mentioned football and the captain had said quietly that he wished Jack could be in the game. Mndicott didn’t seem to like the gemark much and Capt. Elliott began to fear that he had done more harm than good. However, soon after they arrived nt the stopping place, the coach wags seen to draw Jack off to one side. “You want to play in questioned. “Yes sir, I would like to very much,” was Jack’s reply. “Well,”’ said Endicott,’ I said time and again that I wouldn’t let you unless you apologized and I don’t like to break a rule when I make it.” “T know it, sir,” Jack quietly said, but I always thought I was in the right, and do yet although I may be mistaken.” “Well,” Endicott answered, ‘if you promise to be more careful after this I will let you play, ag all the boys seem to desire it.’ “Thank you, sir, I will do my best.” Jack felt very grateful to the coach for letting him play when he had only about half apologized and all the other boys were almost crazy with joy. They had a splen- did time the rest of the evening, Jack play- ed in the game, everybody did well and the team came out victorious. the game?” lie Ballad of the Cock and the Fox (With Apologies to Chaucer’s Nun’s Priest. ) HAZEL OSBORN. I sing of the cock and the fox, Whose story you may have heard: 3ut Ill tell it again to make sure, For the cock was a wonderful bird. THE PURPER AND WHITE A widow, poor and needy, Owned a cock and a beautiful hen, They roamed in the garden weedy, Or scratched in the chicken pen. One day when the cock was straying, Out of the garden gate, He saw a cruel brown monster, Who was doomed to be his Fate. The fox jumped up in haste, From his couch upon the ground, Said he, “I’ll take you home with me; No nicer home can be found.” So he took the neck of the helpless cock, Into his cruel white teeth, And the widow hearing his cry, Came flying across the heath. Faster and faster the fox ran; Faster came widow, neighbors euulee They ran till all were tired The widow about to fall. and and spent, Then said the cock to the fox, “Shout back to them saucy words, Tell them they’ll have to run faster, If they want to catch runaway birds.’ ’ So the fox opened his mouth ito speak The words the cock had said, As soon as his mouth was opened, The cock pulled free his head. Then up to a tree top he hurried, With fox left on the ground, When the neighbors tired and worried, Gathered from all sides around. The cock flew down to the widow; She gathered him in her arms, The cock laughed to the fox, For now I’m safe from alarms.” ‘Go home; Friends and Fortune Fly Together (Translated from Owid’s “‘Tristia’’.)

More stories and cuts have been sub- mitted than ever before. Those who have not written or drawn for the paper have helped in other ways: In criticizing, in preparing the articles for the press, in serv- ing on committees. We won’t say to the public, ‘‘Don’t be too. critical,’ for we always appreciate honest criticism. It is our Object each year to print a better paper than the last one, and we can’t do ‘this if we don’t know our faults. If you gee something that you think could be improved, let us know and we will thank you for cite A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT The Trustees have made many improve- ments this year, Sanitary drinking foun- tains have been installed, paper towels have been substituted for the old rollers, the tennis court has been regraded. But there is one thing that we still need and need badly—an athletic field near the school house. We have a growing school in a growing town, and as time goes on we will feel the need of this field more and more. At the present time, the need is pressing. The baseball boys have to walk over a mile to practice, The football boys have THE PURPLE AND WHITE 23 no fixed field that they can be sure of from year to year. Another tennis court is needed and the basketball grounds might be improved on. We have never had a track near the school house, and in consequence Madera has not thad a track team for years. 5 Other schools have suitable athletic grounds, and we should have them. The quicker the change is made, the better it will be for the school. OUR CONSTITUTION We feel justly proud of our Constitution. It has now been thoroughly tried and the Students’ Association has prospered under it. We have passed through the amend- ment stage, and everyone seems satisfied with it in its present form. An ideal balance has been reached between Faculty and Students. ‘Both are satisfied with the powers given them, and harmony re- sults. The elections of the Association are well managed, and the “‘machinery of gov- ernment” runs smoothly. : Every member of the Association should study the constitution closely, and be- come thoroughly familiar with all of its provisions. INTERCLASS GAMES Let’s have more interclass games. If we aren’t rich enough to bring an outside team here every week, we can at least have the pleasure of frequent events by matching the classes of the school. The girls’ interclass basketball tournament brought out enthusiastic crowds. The ten- nis tournaments always arouses interest. Why not match the classes in all lines of athletics? Where the size of a team would be too great for one class, two classes could combine to form a team. The regular team would ‘be helped, too, for in addition to the frequent practice, more would turn out if class teams were form- ed. lLet’s have an interclass championship in every line of sport next year. ° THE LIBRARY The opening of the library this year has been a good thing for t he school. The students now have a place where they can read books of fiction and magazines as well as text and reference books. One of the most popular shelves in the library is that containing our exchanges, high school papers from all parts of the United States. Interest in reading has been greatly stimu- lated, and we will never be satisfied to go back to the old system of closed li- brary. Mr. Thompson deserves a great deal of credit for his work in connection with the library. Can Madera High support a semi-annual paper? It’s a question well worth consider- ing. Think it over and let next year’s editor know your opinion about the mat- ter. The past school term has been a very successful one for the school. Scholar- ship records have improved, athletics have prospered. The Seniors are now ready to step out and make room for the Class of 13, which, we feel sure, will continue to play the part in school affairs that it al- ways has. And last of all—good luck to next year’s Freshmen, THE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION That the Students’ Association is be- coming more important every year is shown from, the interest taken iin the meetings by all members of the school, The girls are taking more part in the meet- ings this year than ever before. The Literary Committee, composed of one member from each class and one other, have been presenting some good debates and entertainments to the Students’ Associ- ation every two weeks. Another important addition to the as- sociation is the advertising committee whieh works with the different managers in advertising any athletic or social event. The officers elected at the close of last term for the first term of this year were: David Glock, President; Retta Honeycutt, Vice President; Marion Marchbank, Secre- tary; Will Isakson, Treasurer. Those elected for the second term of this year were: John Owens, President; Henry McFadden, Vice President; Dora Wren, Secretary; Leslie Conley, Treasurer. Our exchange list this year is the la rzest we have ever had and we are justly proud of our exchange shelves. It seems that more schools are taking up every year the idea of issuing magazines once a month. In some cases this is a success, but in some it would be better if the material were con- centrated into a semi-annual or quarterly book. On the whole I think the books re- ceived this year are of higher standard, and more interest is shown. ‘This is a good sign and we hope it will remain the case. The Mission, Mission Hi.—Your book is one of the best we have on our list. The cover design is clever. Your stories show deep thought and careful preparation, especially the one entitled, ‘““‘The News.” We have only one criticism to offer, your Josh Department is not large enough.

La Revista, Ventura, Cal.—An addless paper! Surely you deserve credit.

It would have been more complete if there had been more introduction, a table of contents, front- piece, etc. Far Darter, St. Helena, Cal.—Your paper is a very pleasing paper. The cover is very neat. The copy we received was wrong side up in the cover, but that did not keep us from enjoying it.

A literary committee hes been appointed at each elec- tion by the President of the Students’ As- sociaticn. This Committee arranges pro- grams for every Friday consisting of music, recitations, orations and debating. One very interesting program given was a mock trial, the charge was brought against David Barcroft by Paul Husted for painting his face. The attorneys of the case were P. Conley and H. Osborn for the plaintiff and D. Glock and W. Ring for the defendant. C. J. Burrell acted as judge. The jury rendered the verdict of not guilty. Besides these, each class has either a literary or a debating society. The Junior and Sophomore classes having Literary So- cieties while the Freshmen and Seniors have Debating Societies. The Freshmen especially have shown much talent for debating. Aside from their numerous class debates they had a debate with the eighth grade on the question, “Resolved, That the United States Govern- ment Should Own and Control the Rail- roads.” Effie Raburn and Stanley Ford of the Freshmen clags were on the affirma- tive and Hsther Cardwell and Otto Husted were on the negative. While the argu- ment on both sides was good the judges gave the decision in favor of the affirma- tive. The judges were Rev. F. L. Blowers, Mrs. R. Northern and R. L. Hargrove. LECTURES On the evening of December 16, Prof. Baumgardt lectured at the Star theater on ‘Legends and Castles of the Rhine,” be- fore a small but appreciative audience. The lecture was interesting and the views that accompanied the talk were very good. C. L. MechLane, Superintendent of Schools of Fresno, spoke at the high school on the evening of March 22, his subject being, “‘Home and School Co-operation.” The assembly hall was filled. The talk was one of the best we have heard this year, and the musical numbers that were rend- ered added to the enjoyment of the evening. Besides the regular lectures, we have had the pleasure of hearing several school morning talks. Mr, Arthur Dewdney, of New Zealand gave an interesting account of life in hig native country. Dr. J. A. B. Frye of Berkeley gave us a thirty minute talk on “‘Opportunity.”” Mrs. Mary Wells, who has travelled in Europe and A sia, told us of some of her most interesting experi- ences. We always enjoy these short talks and hope to have more of them next year. . On the evening of April 16, 1912, in the Auditorium of the Madera Union High School, a prugram and play wag given by the High School Students. It was well at- . tended and appreciated by all. THE PURPLE AND WHITE 27 The program opened with a selection by the High School Orchestra, after which members of the Glee club sang an original song. Both numbers being well rendered received much applause. Two recitations were very well given by Dora Wren and Pauline Stahl. After a solo by Myrtle Yertsen and a duet by Marguerite Murray and Stella Moore, which were very pleas- ing to the audience, the program concluded with the play. ‘“The Finished Coquette.” When the curtain went up, Mrs. Filbert and her three daughters were seen in their home. The part of Mrs. Filbert was very well played by Hazel Crow. Hazel Osborn, Ruth ‘Baker and Ethel Hardell gave a splendid presentation of the three daugh- ters, who were jealous of their cousin, Miss Daisy Leslie. While they were talk- ing a caller was announced. Mr. Geoffrey Winthrop. The announcement of the call- er was the occasion for the three girls to rush wildly about the stage putting things to rights and fixing their hair at the mirror. Their methods of arranging the room brought roars of laughter from the aud- ience, ag they threw all the papers behind the screen. Then Mr. Winthrop was shown in. The part of Mr. Winthrop was taken by Henry McFadden, who proved himself a very fine actor and quite brought down the house in this difficult part. The complications of the play were caus- ed by the various suitors of the heroine, Miss Daisy Leslie. The part of Miss Leslie was well taken by Effie Raburn. Leslie Conley, as the Marquis de Marsillais, Dean Cook as Count Carbonari and Trueman Wood as Baron von Berlinwool received much applause for their good acting and their ferocious mustaches. The part of the maid was very well taken by Hilda Foot- man, FRESHMEN RECEPTION The freshman class was very enjoyably entertained by the Seniors on Friday even- ing, September the ninth. The Freshmen, cf course, came dressed in their most ele- gant clothes and looked vainly around for the admiring glances of the Seniors. But where were the Seniors and who were those small children looking so bashfully at the mighty freshmen? Some of these children wcre peaking from behind the doors while others were shyly sitting in corners, playing with their ribbons and dollies. With a little closer observation, the Freshmen dis- covered that these wee tots were no other Bi: than the dignified Seniors whom they had been taught to reverence and respect as embodiments of learning. The Seniors had rummaged in the attic of their homes for some of their clothes worn in the kinder- garten age and hence their youthful ap- pearance, , David Glock and Philip Conley, with their English socks, knickerbockers and big sailor collars, made two fine looking young- sters, while Miss Bille and Miss Weaver starred as little girls in short pinafores. After the period of bashfulness wore off from the Seniors, they entertained the Freshmen with an amusing play represent- ing a kindergarten schoolroom. The THE PURPLE AND WHITE 79) quaint dresses and the queer answers or the children (Seniors) greatly added to the amusement of the Freshmen. After the play, the Freshmen were led in- to the Banquet Room where a bounteous repast of bread and milk and striped candy was served. Unique place ecards of bibs and baby pictures were used and added greatly to the youthful appearance of the table. At 11 o’clock the Seniors bade the Fresh- men goodnight and felt repaid for their efforts by the happy beaming faces of the Freshmen, as they left for their homes. THE ANNUAL BANQUET Oh, what a glorious time we did have that December night! The Woodman hall fairly rang with peals of laughter. It had been turned from a stiff lodge hall into a bright, cheery hall by the deft hands of the decorating committee of the Madera Hi school. About 8 o’clock the pupils and Alumni began to gather. At the head of the stairs was the reception committee waiting to welcome the Alumni into the ranks of Hi school pupils once again. Everyone was excited, especially the “freshies,’’ because this was something new to them. Dancing was enjoyed in the long hall, which had been decorated for the occasion, while the finishing touches were put on the tables. Then the supper call was heard and the people were ushered into a room beautifully decorated with crepe paper and greens, and down the cent er of the room were two long tables fairly groaning under the load of good things. Rep- resentatives, as far back as the class of 1901, sat down to enjoy the banquet. Hveryone felt happy and was glad that such a day had been set apart for the reunion of the pupils of “Old Ma- dera Hi.” Mr. Burrell acted as toast master and called on representatives from the San Jose Normal, Law School and on other Alumni, the teachers of Madera Hi, the Athletic Association, and different classes of high school. They all responded cheer- fully and it could be seen how happy they were to be at the reunion. The attendance at the annual banquet was larger than usual. The annual banquet is always looked forward to by the Alumni and by the classes of high school, including the ‘“‘freshies.” We count it as one of our most enjoyable af- fairs of high school life, and our wish is that it shall always be counted as such in years to come, OUR GLEE CLUB Near the beginning of the school term, it was decided to organize a Glee Club. There had been no such club for two or three years. Therefore, all those who were interested in music met under the leadership of Miss Reeve, and elected the following officers: President, Marion Marchbank; Secretary, Jeannette Blowers; Treasurer, Henry Mc- Fadden. Victoria Cardwell was elected pianist and Bess Smith leader. There were nearly thirty-five ‘members of the elub and for a time a great deal of interest was shown and much practicing was done, Later, Florence Belcher was elected lead- er and Bess Smith, pianist. Until Christ- mas the interest was kept up, but after we returned from the holidays, it suddenly died down. However, we hope it will be revived, as such a club is of great benefit to the school as well as to its members. MADERA HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA At the beginning of the term in Septem- ber, a high school] orchestra was organized under Prof. Garland. Bach member decid- ed to pay his share of instruction and prac- ticed faithfully once or twice a week. The orchestra was making some headway, al- though it had never played at any affair. THE PURPLE AND WHITE When winter came, Prof. Garland left and the orchestra was left without an in- structor. Practices c eased for a while, but later on a few were held. However, the public was favored only once, and that was when Mr. McLane lectured at the high school. It showed what it could do, even if it was without a leader, and if the lead- er, Prof. Garland, had remained, the ‘or- chestra would have been “‘something.’’ But alogether, it was a success and an honor to the school. Those who played were Kleiser Hollister, Earl Cardwell, Nellie Secara, David Glock and Delbert Secara. THE BOYS’ QUARTETTE dspecially interesting and surprising was the ability of some of the boys in the line of vocal music. A ‘boys’ quartette was established, con- sisting of ‘Trueman Wood, Henry McFad- den, Lloyd Cardwell and Dean Cook with Philip Conley as pianist. Later David Glock was substituted for Lloyd Cardwell, upon that gentleman’s absence. Tne quartette rendered a number of en- joyable selections and was a thorough suc- cess, George Mordecai is practicing law in San Francisco.

Vacation coming Soon we will be Soph- then Seniors, and High a very successful year in Athletics, both Madera School has experiencea financially and in games won. The girls’ basketball team was the most successful. The football team was a success as was the baseball team. Base Ball The baseball team started its season as soon as school began in the fall with John Owens manager and “Brick” Glock, eaptain. The team ran into some hard luck in the first of the season: some of the players were unable to be in the game but they showed a burst of speed every once in a while. Cardwell and Stitt divided up the catch- ing job this year. Cardwell is an old hand at the game and is a good, consistent and reliable man behind the plate. Stitt is a youngster, who will be quite capable of filling Cardwell’s shoes next year. Weods, the big sidewheeler, did the bulk of the heaying this year and was certainly there with the goods. They all had to look up at his cross-fire and curve. If nothing happens he will be even better next year. L. Glock is another left hander who showed considerable promise. In the one game that he worked so far he had every- thing on the ball. He has two more years in which to show his worth. Isakson, a right hander, did his share of the pitching, and did well. First base had numerous occupants, but L. Cardwell and L, Conley were the only regular ones. Lloyd Cardwell held the bag down to perfection until he left school. Leslie Conley was then transferred from center-field to ‘the initial jeushion. He looks like a real Hal Chase in his new job. Beany Cook was the hero who guard- ed the keystone sack and Beany was a good guard too. Captain Glock held down the difficult corner,- while Charlie High grabbed the nice ones out of the dirt at short. Philip Conley was the one who killed the winged flies in left field with his little glove, while Sandy Post and Trine took care of center and right garden respectively. HEALDS VS. M. H. S. AT MADERA The first game of the season took place at the local bail park with Heald’s Busi- ness College as our opponents, on Sept. 20), LO dd, In the first inning the visitors piled up seven runs. This was enough to win an ordinary game, but Healds wasn’t satis- fied with that amount and preceeded to get six more and it’s a good thing for them that they did, for by consistent play- ing the M. H.S. piled up twelve runs so that they only beat us by one run after all their hard work. Four of the visitors runs were Wels, JAVUIRIALS AND WHITE 4| scored when Wright the ball the right field fence. The feature catch of the day was made by Trine when he captured a screeching drive with one hand. Isackson, Woods and Stitt formed. the battery for the M. H. S. while Ragel and Pimentel officiated for Healds. LE GRAND VS. M. H. S. AT LE GRAND put over The next battle took place at Le Grand and resulted in a tie or five to five in the thirteenth inning, game being called on account of darkness. Philip Conley made some big league catches in left field and also clouted the ball on the nose. Cook also hit a few where they couldn’t be touched. It was a fast game from start to finish and kept the large crowd on their feet at all times. Although a small school, Le Grand sure- ly has a good ball team. Woods, started the game for Madera but was hit by a pitched ball and had to re- tire. Isakson relieved him. War] Card- well did the receiving in this game while Pendergrass and Grassmore formed the battery for Le Grande. LE GRANDE VS. MADERA AT MADERS Le Grande came here for a return game on Oct. 28, 1911. ‘They surely had on their batting clothes for thirteen hits were reg- istered off of Isakson two of which were labeled for three bases. The final score was five to four in favor of Le Grande. Fast fielding kept the scure down on both sides as the M. H. S. gathered nine hits off of Pendergrass. P. Conley pulled off some more of his fielding stunts by nailing two flies up against the fence and L. Conley also pulled a liner off his shoe strings. A fast double play, Glock to High to L. Cardwell, was made by M. H. 8. Barl Pendergrass of Le Grande also pull- ed off a nice piece of fielding when he cap- tured a foul fly near the fence. Le Grand had their same battery, Pender- erass and Grassmore, while Isakson and Stitt did that work for Madera. M. H. S. VS. COYOTES, FEB. 22, 1912. Before a large crowd of students and town people, the High School team defeat- ed the Coyotes, with a bunch of ‘Coast Leaguers and professionals in their line- up. Scctt and Owens did the hard work for the Coyotes, while Woods, Isakson, lL. Glock and E. Cardwell did the battery work fore WWI, Tal, SS Th he final score was three to two. FRESNO HI VS. M. H.S. AT MADERA On April 20 the Fresno high school ag- gregation of ball tossers came to Madera and the way they started out, they surely meant business. In eight and one-half in- nings they piled up sixteen runs to our four. Everybody hit the ball. In the last half of the ninth Madera came to herself and before ‘“‘Doc’ Olufs could stop the slaughter, nine runs had been piled up, making the score 1 to 13 in favor of Fres- no Hi. Nine runs isn’t so bad for a ninth inning rally. The game was quite exciting notwithstanding the size of the score. The game had to be stepped for apd rut fiftoen minutes in the second account of the ‘“duck’’ weather. inning on MERCED HI VS. M. H. S. AT MADERA On April 27 we had the of engaging in battle with rivals, Merced Hi. We surely got revenge for former de- feats. When ‘the Jast man thad given up, the score was 15 to 3 in favor of Ma- dera nigh school. With everybody on the M. H. 8. team batting and fielding like demons, the score in doubt. A total of nineteen hits was made off of Mike Schino, Mer- ced’s pitcher. pleasure of our old. time was never Foot Ball Madera High School put a Rugby team intc the field along with the other teams. It was a marked success when the fact, that this was our first year and none of the boys knew anything of the game, is taken into consideration. Robert Hargrove was se- lected as captain and David Glock as man- ager, THE PURPLE AND WHITE LINDSAY VS. M. H. S. After weeks of hard practice we hooked up with Landsay Hi on our home grounds, on Than! ying Day. The game was fast and exciting from start to finish. In the last part of the first half Leesyl whirlwind half back, crossed for the only score of the Trine, our Lindsay's goal linc game. Stitt PRESNO HI VS. M. H. S. DEC. 16, 1911, AT MADERA failed to convert. next game to be played was with team from Fresno High School. { score wus twenty seven to nothing in favor of Fresno but Fresno had to fight for every score she made. Su- perior weight and experience in the game The the husky Rugby was the cause of our defeat. This was the last game‘of the season as all the cther teams were disbanded by this time. Next year the team should be a win- ner. The lineup of the team was something like this for the year, Weod and O’Meara, front rank; Ring, lock; Conley and Tyrell side rank; E. Cardwell and Rawson, rear rank; half back; D. Glock, ins. five-eighths; L. Cardwell and L. Glock changed off at center three-quarters; Mc- Fadden, right wing three-quarters; Isakson and High, left wing three-quarters; Stitt, Prati Coach Jack Horton and Captain Har- grove deserve much credit in bringing the team up jto the high standard that it at- tained. Mr. Horton’s work was appreciated very much by the team and the school. Trine, Boys’ Basketball the and started captain The boys basketball team season with David Glock as Henry McFadden, manager. Only two games were played, one with the All Stars of town and Le Grande High School, both of which were lost. M. H. S. VS, ALL STARS, JAN 27, 1912. Before a large crowd of basketball en- thusiasts.the All Stars, a semi-professional ‘ team, defeated the High School by the score of 25 to 15. The two teams were neck and neck until the latter part of the second half, when the High School players weakened and al- lowed the All Stars to win. zene Jewett, the All Star center, was the star of the Same making fourteen of the twenty-five beints for the All Stars. The High School team played together but lacked endurance of the All Stars. The lineup: Gleck, Post, P. Conley, F.; Woods and L. Conley, C.; McFadden, Trine, L. Conley, G.

OLEANDER On Dec. 16, the Girls’ basketball team played its first game against Oleander, on the M. H. S. court. The game was a good one. Madera‘s team work was especially strong. Dora Wren made all of Madera’s gcals, but the whole team working for this end kept the ball near Madera’s goal all the time. The score was 10'to 4, favor dera. Gin denn, 27, two picked teams from the High School played in the rink. A game had been scheduled with Fresno for that night but they did not come so a game was arranged between the “Purple” and “White”. teams.
