PREPAREDNESS -is now the National watchword-are you preparing? No weather Prophet can forecast--even Old Probabilities himself cannot tell you when the rainy day will come-when some illness or accident may put a stop to your earnings. The safe and wise course is to provide against that day by establishing a savings account in this, your home bank, and beginning a sys- tematic putting away a portion of your earnings. Money in the bank is not going to be spent unwisely as money in the pocket often is. One dollar will start an account with us, to which you can add as often as you are able, and we will pay you 4 per cent compounded semi-annually on time and savings deposits. Let us talk it over with you. Now is the time. First State Bank of Milwaukie. Milwaukie, Oregon. Capital - - - 325,000.00 Surplus and undivided profits 5,000.00 DIRECTORS: Philip Streib A. H.

Automobile for a farmer postman! exploded Mr. Beardy. The dishes jumped wildly and the table groaned under the blows of Mr. Beardy's fist upon its red checkered cloth. The people are blind. No one's got any cash. Automobile for Sam Bir- dick? Let me catch him ridin' 'round in a car, while we slave to get it for him. That'll be nice, won't it? He stopped short in his tirade and glared at the empty chair opposite. At that moment its recent occupant was climbing the back fence. There was a prolonged r-r-r-r-rip but what matters a torn skirt when one is nine and think- ing? Wilhelmina liked Sam Birdick. Wilhelmina did not see why a poor rheu- matic faithful old man shouldn't have a car. It should be just like Mrs. Fiskinsi she decided. Once in the barn she plumped her overgrown body down upon a battered milking stool and surveyed Pompey fiercely. Pompey, his doggish eyes shining with interest, listened attentively while she explained. 'fIt's not fair, she muttered. You see, Pompey dear, Sam Birdick needs a car-I want it to be like Mrs. Fiskin's-and Mrs. Fiskin's taking a paper round to get everybody to write down how much they'll give ,on it 'cause Sam Birdick's been carying mail so long and he's sick now anyway. Oh, I know how you and me can help. Pompey thumped the floor eagerly with his wretched remnant of tail. And I'l1 tell you if you'll only hold your tail still and listen. We'll go up and ask Mr. Springer if he doesn't want his house cleaned again. I know it needs it. Maybe uncle won't be mad at Sam any more then if Pm not around for him to talk to me about how mad he is. He never speaks to Sam-hasn't since Mrs. Fiskin started the auto paper 'roundf' Half way to Mr. Springer's, Pompey stopped to pick up a scrape of torn newspaper that was dancing down the walk. Willielniina took it from him and read: - PAY BACK WHAT YOU'VE BORROWED CONTEST STARTS The children of this city now have a chance to earn some po.cket money. Even the grown folks may compete for the four prizes which Mr. Buren, promi- nent citizens of Dalweg, has so generously offered. Mr. Buren may pride him- helf upon being the person to introduce such a contest. No resident of this city ha sever before had such an opportunity as is now offered him. The plan seems to be as follows: The person who returns the greatest number of borrowed articles will receive a prize of ten dollars. The second prize is five dollars, the third three and the fourth prize, two dollars. The articles returned may range from a book of needles to that lawn mower you borrowed last summer. Search your memory house. Wilhelmina sat down with a thump. Why Uncle owes lots of things. We might owe more-have a lot more to pay back if I borrowed the things. She sat very quiet for several minutes while Pompey whined and sniffed. At last she rose saying, That's how you and me can get some money for Sam's car. Ten whole dollars. Remember the rides Sam's gave you, Pompey? Fifteen minutes later always weary Mrs. Bedford, baby in arms, opened the door to find a chunky child on the porch. Your cup of flour, some eggs, and butter, it spoke. We owed it you know. Mr. Beardy had returned them! Mrs. Bedford whitened with the shock. Soon afterward Mrs. Stafford met a yellow haired girl at the door and a request for the loan of her broom. Mr. Dalweg was pleased to have his lawnmower returned but upon close 14 examination-horrors! Cut in the handle was the name H. M. Smithers. Now Mr. Dalweg knew the gentleman mentioned. He also knew that fat kid who left the lawnmower to be Mr. Beardy's grand niece. He considered therefore, that, under the circumstances, it was reasonablylcertain that J. M. Smithers stil! believed himself to be possessor of a lawnmower. Mrs. Monroe's broom was returned. Shel was surprised, however, to dis- cover that it was much newer than the one she had lent. While Wilhelmina was stirring each individual of the village, Mrs. Fiskin was trying to change her vision of the proposed !car to a reality. But she was not having the success that Wilhelmina enjoyed. In fact, Mrs. Fiskin was positive that Mr. Beardy's quarrel with lVIr. Birdick! was responsible for the lack of interest shown in her plan. She felt that it was time someone looked the thing in the face. So she took her courage in both hands and stopped to interview the trouble maker. ! Oh, Mister Beardy, she cooed, 'Tm sui'e that you, like the other influ-1 ential men, have been only awaiting an opportunity to place your name below the names of those who have been so eager to contribute to Mr. Birdick's carf' Mr. Beardey's face set obstinately. Mrs. l?!iskin's resolve took to itself some- thing of the same quality. HReally, Mr. Beardy, you've no idea of the benefit such a car as we plan to get will be to the faithful old man who has carried the mail to our doors summer and winter for twelve long years. The size of Mr. Beardey's jaw increased visibly. Sorry. l've work waiting. You must excuse me. 3 Mrs. Fiskin was alone. She hurried up the road and swooped down upon the surprised Mrs. Stafford to whom she toldithe whole affair. lVIrs. Stafford, soul of sympathy tho she was, could think of no way to Bring Mr. Beardy 'round. 5 I've been having trouble myselff' she remarked, You know the little Beardey girl. She just borrowed my broom., Now l want to sweep, but you know how that man is about returning things. lsn't it queer that Mrs. Munroe was jus1i exclaiming to me when I stopped with the petition that he-or rather the little girl had borrowed and returned a broom today. And the strange part was that the broom she returned was a different one altogether from the one she borrowed. It was almost new.'l Almost new, echoed the bewildered Mrs. Stafford. Why, so was mine. Mrs. Fiskin rose decisively. Weill call Mrs. Munroe on the phone, said she, and get to the bottom of this. A In the meantime Mr. Beardey was throwing at Sam Birdick's head words best expressing his hate-hate such as but fewiknow in all their three score years and ten. The old mail carrier, weak as he was from his long illness, was too dull to respond. As he rose to go, Beardy turned his glinting eyes full upon the shaken face of his one time friend, and barkedf, Auto, Automobile! Not. -just wait. If you dare accept it. Well then try'it. If you dare. Charity patjenx, charity patient, char- he choked and flung himself out the door. A brisk breeze cooled his near to boiling over pot of wrath. At the corner two generous yellow pigtails flew in his face. ! Wilhelmina was passing by. VVhat ho, my hearty! Where away so fast? And he took the pigtails in his rough hand. Like two chums they went thru the gate. Inside, Mr. Beardey stopped short and stared, for at the steps was a crowd of people. His neighbors! What was mord and worse their several pairs oi hands or arms were occupied in holding something, each pair a different thing- a basket of eggs, a broom, a lawnmower, or slomething else as the case might be. Mrs. Fiskin, influential woman of the community, stepped forward. ML Beardey, we have called this evening to induire about the matter which your niece has been taking up. We have found-but as she is here perhaps it would be more satisfactory if she were to speak for herself. 15 ! Every eye found its mark in Wilhelmina. The child colored, then laughed delightedly and burst out in her eager speech, Well, you see I'n Pompey thot it over about Sam's auto you know and so when we saw part of a newspaper with this notice in it we thot it was a good thing. So I paid back everything Uncle owed. Didn't know that, did you, Uncle? She giggled. And that didn't make me enough credits to take first prize so umh-w ,lli'we just borrowed some things from other people and then paid these peoglgglnack with things we bor- rowed from some more people. It was like this: 'Uncle owed Mrs. Duncan a ball of twine so I borrowed one from Mrs. Buzon.fThat's why I was so particu lar about the size, Mrs. Buzon. It had to be just like the one Mrs. Duncan lent us. Then I paid Mrs. Buzon back with one I got from Mrs. Hollavvay. Sorry but Mrs. Hollaway didn't have just the same size I borrowed, Mrs. Buzon. And paid Mrs. Hollaway back with Mrs. Dale's. You see we only owed one ball of twine same as ever, but I had three credits on my Pay Back What Youlve Borrowed list. We borrowed everything Uncle ever owed three times like that- all except Mrs. Fremont's sugar and when I stopped to go to lunch you lassoed me. lim going to walk to Dalton .tomorrow-it's only six miles-and turn in my list. That's where the contest's frurining you know. And if I've the most names in I'll get ten dollars to use for Sairrls auto. ' There was a relieved gasp followed by a horrified, painful silence. Finally Mr. Higginsby, interested, well-to-do, little old fellow that he was, piped up, Who'll give another ten on this ?l' Just a moment. One at a time pleasef' Mr. Higginsby was fussily flurried. Out came his notebook and pencil. Down went the names. 'fOne baker's dozen, he announced. That's one-thirty.. How much have you collected so far in addition to thii Mrs. Fisfrp ? , Very well. That makest- I ftwenty. I beg privilege of making it three-twenty. ' And I, spoke up- Mr.' Bde rdythickly, 'twill make it four hundred. There was a heavy pause, during which Wilhelniina took his hand in her own. At last old 'Mrs. Fremogtl separated herself from the group, old Mrs. Fre- ftnont, who prided herself ubonaalways speaking her mind. The words rattled nnfher parchedgthroat: 'Q I - I congratulate you upon your change of heart, Mr. Beardey, said she. Out came her skinny claw. A ' As Mr. Beardey took it gingerly, Mr. Higginsby shouted, I'll make it five hundred and we'll go to Dalton .andget that Ford. And it'll be one like Mrs. Fiskjnlsf' Wilhelmina decided for the second time. An hour later Mr. Birdick was sitting before the fire in his dressing gown. He rose to answer a ring at the. door, a long yellow envelope was thrust into his hand. He ripped it open nervously. It read: Come to Dalton immediatelyf' He dressed hurriedly, and bolted on the car a few minutes later. At Dalton there was a crowd waiting- a strangely familiar crowd thought the bewildered old man. Eager hands hustled him down the street andiinto a waiting Ford. Its glossy black coat reflected the brilliant street lights. As the door slammed shut an envelope dropped to the floor. For the second time that evening he tore open a mysterious envelope and by the yellow light streaming thru the window he made out these words written in a round irregular hand: We folks think it's so splendid of you to carry mail so long in all kinds of climates and we're so sorry you've been sick. So we're giving you this auto to use. P. S. I wanted to get S10 by the Pay Back What You've Borrowed Con- test, but Uncle said I didn't do it right to be in the contest so I couldnit. But you've the car anyway and itls just the kind I wanted so I don't mind. This P. S. is just from me, Wilhelmina. Below were the names of his neighbors, Wilhelmina's heading the list. He felt Pompey's cold nose on his neck and the strong hand of his friend, Jim Beardey. But best of all was to hear Wilhelmina's delighted giggle from the seat behind. 16 -Charlotte Nash. Qunt 1H1IarIing'5i Qetret Far away from the busy city lies a little southern town called Aloha. It is a dreamy, sunny place filled with odd, old homes around which are beautiful lawns and old-fashioned flower gardens. On one of the widest streets, in a home more secluded yet more 'pretentious than thel rest, lived a quaint maiden lady. For many years Miss Marling had lived all alone in this cottage which had come to be known as Lawndale Cottage. ' Her quiet little home was the rendezvous for many of the young girls of Aloha. These girls loved Miss Marling and although she was not related to any of them, they addressed her by the affectionate term of Aunty. She never showed any partiality toward her girl friendslalthough Ellen Stewart, the niece of Dr. Stewart, a prominent surgeon in Chicago, had always been her favorite. Miss Marling loved the wonderful personality which made Ellen so popular among the girls. It was she who shared the plans and secrets of her schoolmates and whenever there was a lark or a task, it was she who was the leader. It was a great pleasure for the girls to stopl at Lawndale Cottage on their Way from school and enjoy'either- a game of crocfuet or tennis on Aunty Marling's beautiful lawn. After several exciting games Miss Marling generally served ice-cold lemonade and oftentimes she told the girls romantic stories, which always appeal to the hearts of young girls. At such: times a passer-by was able to dis- tinguish Miss Marling from her girl friends only by the 'lavender dresses which she always wore. ng ' One particular afternoon after the girls had just finished an exciting game of tennis their hostess asked them to come into the. vine-covered arbor at the side of the house for .a cold drink. U ' Af On their way there, Alice Blohm, a very romafntic girl who delighted in read- ing love stories, said, HI wonder if Aunty has another story to tell us. Don't you enjoy her stories? ,She certainly understands h to tell love stories. Isn't it queerf' replied Myrtle Graham, a tgfll rather unsentimental girl, that Aunty always tells romantic stpries for I1don't think she ever had a romance. By this time the girls were entering the arbor' and the discussion was forgot- ten almost immediately. While the girls' wene settling down for their drink of lemonade Virginia Patterson, a young girl full of life and fun asked, Aunty, won't you tell us a thrillingromance? Thaqsithe kind I like. The story wasn't4a romance, but a story of an uncle and niece. It was a change but when Aunty Marling finished the girls declared it was great. Ellen was very enthusiastic over this story and burst out: That uncle in the story was a dear but he can't compare with 'my Uncle Robert, I'm sure you will envy me when you meet him, and just thinkl He js coming to spend a week with us. I can hardly wait until he comes, but we don't expect him before next Wednesday. I know you girls will like him.f' While Ellen was telling the girls about hjer uncle, Aunty Marling nervously poured another glass of lemonade which wasi not needed. The sun was going down behind the hilljs before the girls realized the time of day. Within a few minutes they were ready to leave Aunty Marlingls and declared that they had had a lovely afternoonl On the following day as the girls entered ithe yard they called to Aunty Mar- ling and when she didn't answer they ran tol the door expecting to see herg but instead they were met by a nurse who told the that Aunty had fallen and broken her hip. This was terrible news for the girls Every day they went to Aunty's hoping they would be allowed to see her, but every iiay they were disappointed. One morning the nurse told them that spinal trouble had been caused from the fall and Miss Marling could not live. 17 r This was too much for the girls. They felt that something had to be done, but what could they do? The doctor had done everything that could possibly help her and all they could do was to hope. Just as the girls were leaving the yard the nurse called Ellen. She hurried back and was told that Miss Marling wanted to talk to her. When Ellen entered the room she saw Aunty lying with her eyes half closed. She didn't open them until Ellen came close to her bed and then she said, Dear, I have a little secret I want to tell you while I am able to talk. Bring a chair close to my bed for I can't speak very loudlyfy Ellen was too startled to answer and when she brought her chair close to Aunty's bed she waited for her to begin. With a deep sigh Aunty began her story: Many years ago I was engaged to be married. The wedding had been planned and we were very happy, but one day we quarreled. I was so angry that I told my finance to leave my house and never return until I sent for him. This man, Ellen was no other than your uncle of whom you were speaking to the girls. I have lived all alone these years because I was too proud to send for him. I wear lavender for him because he thought I was beautiful in it. Dear, I wanted to tell you this little secret for I know you can understand, although Dr. Stewart can't, and now it is too latef' Ellen was bewildered and it was several minutes before she could speak. U0h! Aunty it isn't too late. Uncle is coming home today and I know he will gladly forgive you. Please, please, let me tell him. Aunty was touched by Ellen's words but told her it was all over and she must not speak to her uncle of her. By this time Ellen was sobbing and had to leave the room. At first she couldn't think what should be done, but finally decided it would be best to tell her uncle. It seemed hours before it was time for her uncle to come and impatiently she looked and listened for the train. At last she heard the whistle of the train and ran quickly to the station. Ellen hardly greeted her uncle until she began to tell of Aunty Marling's ill- ness. She noticed that Dr. Stewart became very nervous and knew that It wasn't too late. When she told him that Aunty Marling wanted to see him, he immediately started toward Lawndale Cottage. Dr. Stewart found Miss Marling to be very ill and after a close examination he knew that he could do nothing for her so he hurriedly wrote a telegram which he gave to Ellen and told her to send at once. This telegram was sent to the best specialist in Chicago. Day and night Dr. Stewart sat by Aunty's bedside and watched every change for the better or worse. For three days she lay unconscious and every hour he was afraid would be her last. To him it seemed ages before the specialist arrived. After an examination the specialist said that an operation was the only thing that would save her. That evening she was operated on and breathlessly the two doctors watched for a change. Toward morning she showed some signs of life and gradually, little by little, she became conscious. Miss Marling had been too ill to remember what had taken place. She didn't know that Dr. Stewart had been with her, that it was he who had saved her life. It was almost a week after the opeartion before Dr. Stewart was allowed to visit Miss lVIarling. He had been in the room for about half an hour when he asked for Ellen. 'When Ellen entered the room Aunty smiled and said: You were rightg it isn't too latef' ' ' - Ellen understood and exclaimed: And you are going to be my real Aunty after all! -Evelyn WaZke1-. 18 CLACKAMAS COUNTY WAGON ROADS, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. T Clackamas County wagon roads of the past! It is hard to find words to express the poor condition in which Clackamas County roads have been. Per- haps a short, true story told about a year agof by Frank Terrace, Good Roads Advocate for the state of Washingtcin, will best show what a deplorable condi- tion they have been in. The incident related happened several years ago. A Seattle firm received a large order for a certain kind of apples to be shipped to Australia. In filling out the order it wasf found they lacked one thousand boxes of the required number. lt happened fhat Portland could furnish that many boxes of the right kind of apples, so the thousand boxes were shipped from that city to Seattle and the consignment of fruit was taken to Australia. On arriving there it was found that all the apples,f except a thousand boxes, were in perfect condition, but these were completely rotten. On investigation it was founo that they were the apples sent from Portlandy. In seeking the cause for their decay it was discovered that the apples, when taken to Portland, had passed over five miles of rough roads thereby bruising the fruit to such an extent that it decayed. Each box of apples on reaching Australia was valued at ten dollars, so five miles of poor road caused a total loss of ten thousand dollars. lt is not certain that the road the apples passed over was in Clackamas county, but as it is an established fact that her roads have been poorer than those of other counties about Portland, the same result would have happened. Clackamas County at present has very few good roads. We might say there are but three: the Mt. Hood road, the road along the east bank of the Willamette from New Era to Oregon City and the road ,from Oregon City to llffilwaukie. Practically all the rest are very poor indeed at times-almost impassable. Ask any tourist what he thinks of Clackamas County roads. Generally words fail him or else they come in a gush. But is anything good said? Indeed not. After riding over miles of rough, muddy roads one would not feel like scattering com- pliments about them. ' Clackamas County is fairly large and though not very thickly populated is traversed very much by people, not only from the county itself, but from other counties also. So not only the people of Clackamas County suffer for want of good roads, but those of other counties. Practically all people, especially thosu that own automobiles, want good roads. Therefore a county with poor roads does not offer much of an inducement to them to live in. Good roads, on the other hand, would not only benefit the people already living in the county, but would lead others to make their homes in it thus boosting the county. But what is the cause of the deplorable condition of our roads? Read the road laws of our state. They are entirely lacking in a definite plan for the con-- struction or repair of roads. The same situation exists with the counties as with the state. The county courts have charge of county roads and the county funds are to be expended on these. A supervisor is at the head of the district and local roads. As there is no well defined system of main county roads as distinguished from the district and local roads, it often happens that county and district funds are expended for the same job. Then in case of poor work it is hard to place the blame on either the court or supervisor and this condition would naturally lead to the neglect of the duties of the offices they hold. When a court of, say three men, as is geperally the case, lay out a definite plan for road work extending over a period of several years, it is almost impos- sible to adhere to it for some influential person or committee will come asking for a certain piece of work to be done. lrfvariably the court surrenders, the planned work is not done and only short stdetches of roads here and there, of practically no benefit to the community, show lfor the effort and money expended. 19 Each county has a county surveyor. In all but two counties he is paid, when he works, by the day. Of course, he cannot be kept busy all the time so some- times in order to get work he has some influential person start a petition for opening a new road. It is done, the county court orders a View and survey, the surveyor goes to work and gets his pay. Such roads are rarely constructed and the loss of thousands of dollars has resulted through useless surveys. There are other defects of the present system but I shall not go into the details of these. The county bond issuescannot be expended with the highest economy or efficiency, no engineering records are kept, the supervisory system is disliked, friction exists among the many officials of limited power, and organiza- tion is impossible under the present system. We cannot profit by past experience. If one county has learned a valuable lesson on the road question through bitter experience, other counties cannot profit by it for no records are published. Great corporations and department stores find that system and records pay. Other states and countries have proved the efficiency of highly developed road organizations after years of trial. So why should not our state and counties adopt a similar method? But the roads of Clackamas county or any other county are not without pos- sibilities. The future holds out wonderful opportunities for the advancement of good roads. The topography of Clackamas county favors road construction and the people are demanding. good roads more and more. There are many improve- ments that might be made on our present system, but I consider the following one best. , Our roads should be divided into three classes: state, county and district. The state routes should connect the different county seats. In planning them the needs of the state should be considered. The routes should be selected by the legisla- ture and the number prescribed by law. On these routes alone should state and government funds be expended. The legislature only should have power to amend a plan. The state routes should be classed as primary and secondary so that the great- est effort would be given to those considered of most benefit to the state. Work on the primary, or most important roads should be given first consideration. Work on the secondary routes should not be prohibited while the construction of the primary routes is going on. Any route, either primary or secondary, after it has been constructed and the maintenance thereof undertaken by the state, should then be known as a state road, the county should make and maintain such roads as are needed, The routes planned by the legislature should be briefly but specifically des- cribed by law, for example: John Day Highway, from Portland across the mountains south of Mt. Hood, thence up the John Day Valley across Baker and Malheur counties to the Idaho line near Ontario. Such a detailed description should be made only after complete surveys have been made and based on engineering reasoning. A detailed description by the law will do away with any possible dispute about the route planned. The above plan if followed out would do away with the spasmodic efforts exerted now, would eliminate friction among numerous petty officials and would insure the construction and maintenance of good roads. Therefore Clackamas county has splendid possibilities for the construction of roads equal in excellence to the best in our country. -Lily Koenig, '17, 20 Athletigs FOOTBALL The term ending in January, 1917, made football two years old in Milwau- kie. In its infant year many heavy defeats were faced, wherein, the second year, great changes in the team and scores were made. Mr. Goetz and Mr. DeLong together organized and coached the team and under their training a great amount of pep and Hspiritu alone from Hteamworkl' was accomplished. Some of the boys played with us last year and the experience gained surely helped this year's team. Several new fellows joined in this year, but few had ever played football and therefore had to be drilled into shape by good hard practice. Early in the season a game with Washougal was scheduled, and, as the boys had practiced only a week, they gave us the rub at 39 to O. To show the change in a year, the score last year with this same team was 119' to O in favor of our Opponents. The outlook for next year looks like some team will present us with the championship 'of the county. Our team will not be a green one as were those of the preceding years and will be full of pep and Hfightl' to the brim. Rolfe Skulason, captain elect, played left tackle and his weight and spirit together, greatly helped the team. Later in the season he played center and the first man is to be seen to come through his territory. Arthur Johnson, star of the team, made the only touchdown of the season and also many long end runs, his position being left half throughout the season. Claude Buckner played cen- ter in the first of the year and right half in the latter. Boyd Gibson at full played a remarkably good game. His punting and line plunging made several long gains for Milwaukie. Harold Dedman played left tackle and his weight and punting were a great help to the team. Clyde Davis, right half, played a splendid game. He worked with Johnston to a great advantage and together several plays were made successful. In the latter part of the season he played left tackle. William Miller, at full, played a brilliant game and at the end of the season valuable results were shown when he played right tackle. Shorty Edwards held his former position at quarter-back and missed but one game of the season. He did the forward passing for the team and made some long passes. Charles Fox on right end was the find of the season, being fast and having a number of excellent tackles to his credit. He also played right tackle and kept men twice his size on their own side of the line. Edward Keeler on the left end missed very few passes in or around his territory and some of his tackles could not have been more perfect. Louis Shindler, the fighter of the team, played right end, made a number of excellent tackles, and few men came through his part of the line. K'Bill and Bud Moore were two valuable men to the team. The positions played by them were left 'end and right guard. Ernest Keller at center played a fine game and few fumbles are due to him. Burley Reynolds was the right hand man to the team and played right end guard. Homer Klipple, at guard, could not have been beaten. He was always on the bottom and few men passed through his part of the line without help. Herman Fisher, at left guard, strengthened the center of the line when such was badly needed. Last but not least is ReRuben Spring, at guard, playing a good steady game. The following is the ilst of games played this season and the scores of each 0 VS 39 At Milwaukie. . . . .... ....

These games gave the Freshmen and Sophs who were unable to take part in the first team a chance to play. These games were a series of exciting events from the start to the finish and gathered a larger crowd than any of the first team's games. The first game ended in a score of 0 to 0 and was played at the length of five quarters. The second game, played at the regular length ended in a score of 6 to 0 in favor of the Freshmen. The lineups of the teams were as follows: Changes being made in the sec- ond game. A Freshmen. 3 Sophs. Blackman and W. Moore ..... ..... F ullback ..... .......... B lue and Keeler Reynolds and W.

Extensive interest and enthusiasm has been manifested by both the boys and girls in basketball this year. A surprisingly fast team has been organized by Mr. Goetz and our success is mostly due to the coaching given by him, and this surely shows his worth and ability along that line. The boys have faithfully turned out to practice and great success has been shown. Claude Buckner was appointed captain and played guard in every game. Clyde Davis, at guard, also played an excellent game. Leslie Blue, playing for- ward, threw many excellent baskets. He, later in the season played center and his work helped the team greatly. William Miller, at center, played an all- around good game. He also played forward. Louis Shindler, at guard, was the find of the season and played a star game. Boyd Gibson, star of the team, played center and forward. His weight and long passes helped to raise our side of the score card to a great extent. Ernest Keller, at forward, threw some of the best baskets of the season. Shorty', Edwards played forward and thref most of the free baskets, for fouls made by our opponents. During the Christmas vacation a game took place between the Alumni of the High School and the High School. This being the first time some of the boys had ever played, a rather large score was marked against us, being 48 to 6. On March the first, the Oregon City Athletic Culb played Milwaukie and a worthy fight for the winning side of the score card ended at the score of 35 to 7 in favor of Oregon City. March the thirteenth marked the date of another game between Milwaukie and this same team, the game lending at the score of 26 to ll, our opponents winning. On the twenty-seventh of March, the Commercial All-Stars of Portland played us, the game ending to the tune of 36 to ll in favor of the All-Stars. This was our last game and considering the fact that it takes at least four years to turn out a good finished team, we did very well. Had it not been for the kindness of the school board, in giving the High School the privilege of using the Grammar School Gym, basketball would have been a missing innovation in our field of atheltics, and I am sure every one in the Milwaukie High School, who has used the gymnasium, boy or girl, lfeel very grateful to the school board. zs , e' BASEBALL. Every one in High School looked eagerly forward to baseball this year and even went so far as to organize class teams and for those not able to take part in these a team was formed. A captain of each team was elected and a schedule was marked. The captain of each team was: Arthur Johnston, Freshmang Edward Keeler, Sophomore, Harold Dedman, Juniors and Seniors, and Mr. Goetz, Independents. As the Maroon goes to press a game between the High School and the Gram- mar School is to take place at Crystal Lake Park. The teams will probably ex- change batteries as they did last year. This is the sum of the M. H. S. baseball season as the league was suspended from the county for the time being and therefore no league games could be played. Also several of our best players enlisted at the call to arms and no effort wasadvanced to form a team. TENNIS. A great deal of interest has prevailed in Tennis this year. The president of the M. H. S. Student Body appointed Dorothy Wissinger, manager of the Tennis Association, and with the aid of a few of the boys, she put the court in A-1 shape. Again as the Maroon goes to press, a tournament is to be played between several of the High School students to determine the champion of the school. Mr. Perry, of the Perry Pharmacy, will present a five dollar racquet to the winner, as he did last year to Ben Alexander, who won from Wm. Merriot, giving him the racquet. -LeRoy Edwards, ffthletic Zllrznager. Happiness is a by-product of hard work well done.

Last term Milwaukie won the cup and this term the debating society has been working to keep it. Mr. Grubbs, our faithful debating coach, has spent much time in drilling the students for the interscholastic debates. The question for the first interscholastic debate was: 'fResolved, That Ore- gon should adopt a health insurance law embodying the essential features of the Standard Bill of the American Association foriLabor Legislationfl The follow- ing teams for this debate were: Affirmative, William Miller Qleaderj, Boyd Gibson, and Clyde Davis, negative, Rolfe Skulason Qleaderj, Edward Keeler and Charlotte Merriott. 1 Our negative team went to Estacada and Oregon City's negative came to Milwaukie. Very interesting debates were carried on at both places, showing excellent work on the part of the students. The decision of the judges at Esta- cada was unanimous in favor of Milwaukie. We were not as successful at home for the affirmative was the weaker side of the question and the arguments which were presented by our team were not as good. The decision was 3 to 0 in favor of Oregon City. The second interscholastic debate was scheduled for April 6, but the Canby team, which was to have debated our affirmative, was unable to debate at the set time, so the debate was postponed. On the same night our negative team went to Colton to debate their affirmative. The team was as follows: Edward Keeler Qleaderj, Arthur Johnston and Charlotte Merriott. We were defeated in this debate by a score of 2 to l. The debate which was postponed between Canbyys negative and Milwaukie's affirmative was held a week later. The question for this debate was: Resolved, That Industrial Disputes should be settled by Compulsory Arbitration. Mil- waukie won in this debate, the decision being Z to 1. The speakers on the team were: William Miller Qleaderj, Clyde Davis and Bernice Fisch. Ralph Keeler was the third speaker, but because of enlisting in the Naval Militia he was unable to be at the debate. Miss Fisch read the speech which he would have given if he could have been present. The last of the interscholastic debates for this term was held April 28th. Our affirmative team debated Coltonls negative at Milwaukie and our negative team went to Canby. The teams for this debate were: Affirmative, William Miller Qleaderj, Clyde Davis and Ralph Keeler, negative, Edward Keeler Cleaderj, Charlotte Merriot and Arthur Johnson. The decision of the debate at Milwaukie was 3 to 0 in our favor, at Canby 2 to 1 in favor of Canby. Owing to the fact that each school in this debating contest won the same num- ber of debates, the committee had to resort to totaling the number of votes cast for each school by the judges. ln this way Milwaukie High School was declared the winner. l The final results of the debates were: Milwaukie, 93 Canby, 8, Colton, 7. lldilwaukie thus winning the cup for the second year. 25 PATRIOTISM. Milwaukie High is alive with the spirit of patriotism which manifests itself in nearly all of the school activities. Eight boys enlisted in the Army and Navy and many others are thinking of doing the same. Of those enlisting, Charles Fox joined the Marines, Ralph Keeler, the Naval Militiag William Miller and Halford Roach, the Coast Artilleryg Rolfe Skulason, Infantryg William Moore, Louis Shindler and Claude Buckner, Battery A. Arthur Johnston will take in- structions preparatory to the Aviation Corps. At a recent meeting of the school board it was decided to award diplomas to the following members of the May class who heeded the call to colors: William Miller, Claude Buckner and Louis Shindler, THE DECLAMATORY CONTEST. The Declamatory Contest was given under the auspices of the Clackamas County Oratorical Contest. Of the six students from Milwaukie who tried out for this contest, Edward Keeler and Mary Boch were the two best speakers. At the final try out Mary Boch was chosen to represent lvlilwaukie High School. The declamation which she recited at Oregon City, was entitled, The Wild Olive Wreath. Molalla won highest place in this contest. THE ESSAY ON SHORT STORY CONTEST. Milwaukie High was also represented in the Essay and Short Story contest in which the different high schools of Clackamas County entered. Lily Koenig won highest honors in the Essay contest, receiving a cash prize donated by A. King Wilson of Oswego. Charlotte Nash and Evelyn Walker entered in the short story contest, Evelyn Walker getting fourth place in this contest. W. C. T. U. DEMORIST CONTEST. During the last semester of this year six high school boys entered the W. C. T. U. Demorist contest. The subject for each of the recitations was Temper- ance. Those who received silver medals in this contest were: Cecil McDonald, who won the contest at Milwaukie, Arthur Johnston, who won the contest at Clackamas, and Herman Fischer, who won the contest at Wichita. Two more contests were planned, but due to the fact that two boys, for una- voidable reasons, have not been able to take part, this contest has been dropped. DEBATE TEAM Edward Keeler, Charlotte Merriott, Rolfe Skulason, Mr. Grubbs, coach 26 Q A ATEC THE FEAST OF THE RED CORN The feast of the Red Corn was a light Indian operetta given by the Glee Club and directed by the music teacher, Mrs. Goetz. All those taking part in it, except the ghost dancers, were dressed in Indian costumes, which were made by the Domestic Art class. The girls of this operetta represented Indian maidens, the boys, Indian warriors, and the ghost dancers, the ghosts of dead trees. The cast was as follows: Weeda Wanta-Qtreen of the Wanta Tribe --- ....

Time-Evening before and morning after the Feast of the Red Corn. A larger audience was present at this performance than at any of the other entertainments during the term. Everyone present was very enthusiastic over the operetta, the success of which was due to the faithful work of Mrs. Goetz. U 27 Qnnietp THE SENIOR'S RECEPTION. As the Maroon goes to press the Junior class is planning a reception for the Seniors. This will be the first of the sort to be given in our high school. The faithful Juniors are working hard in order that this may be a warm reception and one that the Seniors will never forget. THE STUDENT BODY ASSOCIATION. All of the school activities, especially athletics and debating, have been car- ried on under the auspices of the Student Body. The officers who served this term are: William Miller, president, Ruby Mayer, vice-president, Clyde Davis, treasurer, Donna Smith, secretary. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month and at such times business and school activities are discussed. At a recent meeting Dorothy VV'issinger was selected Tennis Manager. THE GLEE CLUB. Within the past tvp years several attempts have been made to organize a Glee Club. Last term a girls' chorus was organized but this term boys have joined, thus making a Glee Club. At present we have a membership of twenty- five and active work has been done by both the students and the director. The Club sang at the Teachers' institute, at the Dedication of tw: Grammar School building and at the Industrial Exhibit. At a recent assembly the high school students voted to buy a Victrola. Miss Minturn, teacher of mathematics, has donated the first five dollars, and when ninety-five dollars has been paid she will give the last five dollars. Edythe Hamilton, Donna Smith and Miss lldinturn have been appointed to select the records for the Victrola. THE UFRESHIES' RECEPTION. A reception, quite different from any of the others, was given in honor of the September Freshmen by the Senior Class. A bonfire party was planned for Fri- day night and at 7330 a large crowd met at the school-house. The students were chaperoned by the faculty to the place cleared for the party, which was on Kel- logg Creek. Two largl bonfires were quickly built by the boys and as soon as the fires furnished enough light, games were started. Drop the handkerchief and Three Deep were enjoyed by everyone. After playing mes for some time the buns and Weeniesn were passed. This was the most exciti part of the evening, for the boys delighted in sWiping the weenies. As soon as the buns and weenies were gone the boys thought it time to begin hazing Every boy Freshie was tossed up in a blanket. After the hazing the crowd was ready to start for home. A jolly time Was declared by every one present. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY. The Junior-Senior party was given on the 6th of April in the high school building. The evening was spent in playing games, charades being the most pop- ular game. Five of the boys were unable to attend the party on account of enlist- ing in the Army and Navy. just before the refreshments were served, three of the boys who had enlisted, came in. The remainder of the evening was spent in discussing the Wan Ralph Keeler, a Junior, was to leave the following morn- ing for Bremerton, Washington, and words of encouragement were given to him by every one present. At eleven-thirty the students started for home, every one declaring they had spent an enjoyable evening, 28 STUDENT BODY OFFICERS STUDENT BODY OFFICERS WILLIAM MILLER, President RUBY MAYER, Vice-President DONNA SMITH, Secretary CLYDE DAVIS, Treasurer CLAUD BUCKNER, Athletic Manager DOROTHY WISSINGER, Tennis Manager HEROLD DEDMAN, Yell Leader. . 9' I STUDENT BODY OFFICERS ELECT HAROLD DEDMAN, President DONNA SMITH, Vice-President RUTH HOPE, Secretary EDVVARD KEELER, Treasurer LQROY EDWARDS, Athletic Manager ALICE IIUGAL LILY KOENIG ETHEL CRAIG BERNICE FISCH RUBY MAYER DOROTI-IY WISSINGER MR.

During the four years that we have attended High, things have greatly changed. The faculty has increased from two to eight. The four-year stand- ard has been established. The student body has increased from twenty-eight to one hundred and twenty-five. And our dream of a separate building from the grades has come true. The present Senior Class, which consists of fourteen members, is the largest in the history of Nlilwaukie High School. Of the graduates, Louis Shindler, William Miller, Bernice Fisch, Ruby Mayfer and Charlotte Mer1'iott entered as freshmen in 1913 and Roxie Morris, Lily Koenig, Dorothy Wissinger and Edythe Hamilton in 1914, the latter students thus completing the required High School course in three years. The remaining members of the class enrolled later, Claude Buckner entering as a Sophomore, Ethel Craig and Alice Hugill entering as Juniors, and Grace Herbert and Frances Wiley entering as Seniors. A number of Seniors were awarded letters last semester: Charlotte Nlerriotr, for debating, Claude Buckner, for basket-ball and football, Louis Shindler, for footballg William Mille1', for basket-ball, football and debating, and Lily Koenig for essay. Qlllass week Class week will be a week never to be forgotten by our Senior Class. The program calls for a Columbia Highway trip, a hike, a picnic at Uswego Lake, which will be attended by the whole high school, a banquet given by the Juniors and several dinner parties given by different members of the class.

The farmer dons his raincoat And hitches up the horse, And pulls the auto from the mud, He gets good pay, of course. The frog is dismally croalcingg The duck is nearly drownedg The seeds are gasping in their beds, They can't get out of the ground. Last summer I saw the sun once, This year it's doubtful, though, The only thing is raindrops, And many a good hard blow. -Leslie 33 B. Blakneyv IUNIOR CLASS 34 NAMES Harold Dedrnan .....

This class has the distinction of being the largest Sophomore class in M. H. S. up to the present time and is now, with the exception of the Freshman class, the largest in the school. It has, through its various members, participated in all branches of school activities. The first event of the year's frolic was the Sophomore I-Iallowe'en party given at the School House. In the course of the evening, that vivacious game Grunl, ' was played, causing much deep emotion on the part of all. As the Sophs are strong fonl eats a great superfluity of refreshments, suitable to the occasion were success ul y done away with. The Sophomore boys as well as the girls, have taken an active part in the M. H. S. Glee Club. In fact, the greater part of the club is composed of mem- bers of the Sophomore class. Through the co-operative work of the instructor, Mrs. Goetz and the officers of the club, the music work has been greatly ad- vanced. Much has been said of football, and the numerous games the school has won in the last season. The extent to which Sophomore boys took part in football is shown plainly by the number of letters awarded them at the end of the football season. Five of the class, Homer Klipple, Edward Keeler, LeRoy Edwards, Charles Fox and Herdman Fischer, received football letters. As for basketball, our winning games have been a minus quantity. Since practice makes perfect, and as the scores are improving daily, we expect to score victories next term. Shorty Edwards, who, by the way is a Sophomore, IS one of the best basketball scrappers now, and with hopes of growing there are prospects of his becoming a champion player. Altho' much energy has been expended along lines of physical developmentg intellectual lines have been pursued with equal and even greater success. In th debate held at Estacada, January IZ, 1917, one of the members of the team was Edward Keeler, a Sophomore. Of course Milwaukie won the debate. As a reward for bringing debate 'honors to M. H. S. Edward Keeler was awarded a debating letter. The last and probably the most successful of the class events, was the St. Pat- rick's party. It was well attended and every person present took part in all the Irish games with the greatest enthusiasm. The refreshments consisting of, emer- ald punch and shamrock cookies met the approval of all present. Everyone went home pronouncing the evening's social one of the greatest successes of the term. During the spring and summer months of the remainder of this term and the beginning of next, the Sophomore tennis players expect to play a noble part in the winning of the racket, offered by Mr. Perry to the winner of the coming tennis tournament. The girls as well as the boys not taking part in this tournament will do their part in rooting and in giving such yells as: Odz, Odz, Zi, Ri, Ri, Ri, Hiah, Hiah, Milwaukiel Brickety, X Co X Co X, Brickety, X Co X .Co X, 1 2 3 4 4 ll 44 Who are we for?

The bright morning of September Sth savv freshmen Walking, stalking, talk- ing, balking into the front and back doors of M. H. S. The backdoor seemed to be the most popular with them, for the Seniors all occupied the front entrance and if there was anything to make a freshie feel white, Qnot greenj or shaky it was a Senior, but after all they were not so terrible. The first event of interest was the Wienie Roast given by the school in honor of the Freshman last September. V The Ereshies scored a victory last fall when they successfully opposed the Soph- mores in a game of football with the score of 7-0. Two more gameswere to have been played but it seemed that they never materialized due to a seemingly indifference on the part of the losers.

If so, it is time you were hearing about it. In order that you may know all about our Alumni Association it will be necessary to refer back to the ancient history of Milwaukie High School. Six years ago Milwaulcie had only a two-year high school. The first class to complete the course which it offered was the one of 1910 and- consisted of Bessie Holt Mclntyre and Lorene Smith. The members of the following year's class were Grace Martin Coleman, Olivia Johnson, Jens Olsen, Otto Shindler, Lloyd Rippey and Orvil Olds. Mrs. Shaw, who was then principal of Milwaus kie School, entertained the high school at a party at her home in 1911. At that time she suggested the organization of an Alumni Association. M The young people readily acted upon the suggestion and a constitution was drawn up and officers were elected. Bessie Holt lVIcIntyre was the first presi- dent. For the next two years there was no graduating class, but during this time two meetings of the Alumni Asociation were held. ln 1914 the first class to complete the four year high school was welcomed by the Alumni at a combined business and social meeting held at the home of Grace Martin Coleman. At this time Grace was elected president. It was also decided to invite the head of the high school department to all meetings of the Association, and Miss Young, one of the first teachers in the school, was made an Honorary member. From that time on an annual meeting has been held each June, to welcome the new class and to elect officers for the following year. One or two social meet- ings are also held each year giving old friends and classmates a chance to get together and talk over old times. Two of these social meetings have been in the form of bonfire parties at Oak Grove Beach and have been jolly larks for all who attended. The annual meeting of 1916 was held at the home of the president, Howard Cooper, and was a very enjoyable occasion for allg the initiating of the new mem- bers being especial fun for the older members. Two other social meetings were held during the year and many more are planned for the future. Anyone upon graduating from Milwaukie High School becomes a member of the Alumni Association. The dues are twenty-five cents a year, to be paid at the annual meeting. The Alumni extend a hearty welcome to the class of 117, wishing its members success and happiness as they start upon their new fields of endeavor and sincerely hoping to see one and all of them at the annual meeting in June. Q0 Little' bits of bluffing Lots of air quite hot- Makes Eng. 8 recitation Seem what it is not. 40 Q Bahia' Once upon a school day dreary, while we studied-weak and weary, Over many a subject, such as English and the rest,- 'While we pondered, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of Mrs. Ohmart rapping, rapping on her time-worn desk. H 'Tis for Englishf, we all muttered, 'fthis loud tapping on the desk, Only this-that daily task. Ah, distinctly l remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate student-member slid behind his sheltering desk. For it was the Junior custom thus to shrink from Pope and Ruskin, And the tops, when standing open, formed a shelter and a rest. But our teacher, standing near us did not like these open desks- But only this-that daily task. And the stately, stern and steady Mrs. Ohmart, standing ready, Chilled us,-filled us with fantastic terrors never felt before. So increasing the loud beating of our hearts we sat repeating, lt, h' ' 'll ' 'l ' l ' d bf s me s e s going to ca on as sie s a ways one e ore. . ble it is she's sure to pick on as she's always done before. This too and nothing more. Presently our souls grew stronger, hesitating then no longer, We at once began to chatter and to raise a greatuproarg But our teacher was not napping, and again there came the rapping, And so loudly came the tapping-so mud: louder than before, That we heard her and we promised not to do it any more. This we did and nothing more. So the spirit now is flitting from us as we here are sitting- While Skuli and Ralph Keeler have both gone off to war, And their eyes have all the seeming of a person's who is dreaming, Thinking how soon, with the Kaiser, he'll be wiping up the floor. Leslie Blue has left us weeping-for the cold Alaskan shore, And our spirit shall be lifted-never more. MARJORY LLEWELLYN, MAY '18 THE NIGHT BEFORE EXAMS. Just before exams l'm crarnming- I'm in misery all the night, While my books T'm 'round me slamming, Cursing school with all my might. Class-mates at their homes are howling, Filled with horror and with pain For well we know that on the morrow We can only bluff in vain. --Harold E.

A boy who had been attending school in the country came to the city to finish his education. lOn his arrival he saw some electricians working around the school. The boy natunally did not know what they were doing so asked his father. I-Iis father said, They are putting in electric switches, my sonf' Well, their exclaimed the boy, Hllm going back to the country where they don't do their switching by electricity.

Eunice was attending her first class in domestic science and was asked to tell briefly the surest way to keep milk from souring. Eunice, who was very practi- cal gave the answer, Leave it in the cow. In spite of the high cost of living, there is one thing that has come down and that is, according to Gilbert Morgan, deportment. Chimmy-Wot's de best way to teach a girl to swim?
