Whore dull trad itions rule W ith heavy hand youth ' s liiihtlv sprin in powers ; .Vol spacious pleasure courts, And lofty temples of athletic fame. Where devotees of sport Mistake a pastime for life ' s highest aim ; N ' ot fashion, nor renown Of wealthy patronage and rich estate ; No, none of these can crown A school with light and make it truly great. iUit masters, strong and wise, W ho teach because they love the teacher ' s task, And find their richest prize In eyes that open and in iriinds that ask; And boys with hearts aglow To try their youthful vigor on their work. Eager to learn and grow, And quick to hate a coward or a shirk ; These constitute a school, A vital forge of weapons keen and bright, Where living sword and tool Are tempered for true toil or noble fighl ! Rut let not wisdom scorn The hours of pleasure in the playing fields : There also strength is born, And every manly game a virtue yields. Fairness and self-control. Good humor, pluck, and patience in the race Will make a bad heart whole To win with honor, lose without disgrace. . h, well for him who gains In such a school apprenticeship for life; With him the joy of youth remains In later lessons and in larger strife! — Hfitry I ' aii Dykf ' I ' FIEMBMT HEHM (ilTTW CLASS orncERS JANUAKY ABIMEMllSEia TO.MfflSEY JOMI WUTE H 4 ((i.ENN Barrett Cross General Course Roys ' Federation Kxecutive Council, ' 24, ' 25 Clerk, ' 25 Associated Student Councils Vice Chairman, ' 25 Athletic Board, ' 26 The China Shop , Lead The Lass of Limerick Town , Lead Track.

And in and out were twined roseliuds sweet, A liara more precious than pearls. Her eyes were blue, as blue as the sea. The deep, deep, sea, without ripple or wave. Her lips and her cheeks, it seemed to inc, Were red as an amaryllis I have. ■She spoke to me in a sweet, clear voice, And it seemed like the song of a lark. And her message made my heart rejoice, ' Twas the message of Love, to which we all hark. She asked mc to love my friends as myself, Pis she who brings out the good in us all, Pis Love, my comrades, that beautiful elf. Who calls for our virtue; we answer the call W hen I woke I roni my dream, she vanishetl away. Hut her image will ever remain in my heart. And Love, that has power all humans to sway, W ill hold me her captive, nor ever depart. —Ville Safford 28 I I Class In Jatuiary, nineteen Iwcnty-three, There came much consternation When three hundred freshics put to sea On the ship Determination. W ' e had amliilion hy the bale And will power hy the peck. And not a kid was on that ship, But for to win, by heck. It wasn ' t long ere we set sail A storm came from behind. -And though we fought against that gale Our crew wc could not find. Our hearts went out to the martyro l few Who had drowned or were distressed. Hut nevertheless we fixed our .?uns On the treasure ship Success. She was manned by a pirate, old and dried, Old Physics by the name. .And with old Latin by his side He raised considerable Cain. But on we went to Sophomore Isle . nd left a failing few. Shook off a year of finished toil Then let the sails fly true. We crossed the Bay of Deep Conceit Fwas sad as sad could be. For though our hearts for them did beat Ten men were lost at sea. I History Thru ' Junior Straits we made our way . nd hardly lost a man. For those now left, I ' m glad to say Were full of grit and sand. In Senior Sea where ne.xt we sailed We saw in the sea afar Four helpless wanderers weak and pale Clinging to a broken spar. They were members of the class of June . nd had sailed this sea before . nd w ith their help, ' twas very soon We made that ocean roar. Our captain, T. O. Ramsey, by the name We next did all select. For he could sail this bounding main With both eyes closed, by heck. The last half year he was our guide .And we did make the grade. .And all of us do point with pride, At the records w ' e have made. The Sea of Learning we ' ve traversed The horizon is now in sight. .And when into a cold world we do burst Let ' s conquer with that .

J.ANICE SCHERMERHORN ALICE THOMPSON MARTHA SCHOENING 30 T Class Prophecy III the year l ' )47, 20 years after leaving the l)( rlals of Xorth Ccniral, I and the other half ()f the Prophecy rommittce started on a tour of the world in our new patented vest-pocket dirigible. After wc had been appointed am- bassadors to the starving rats of Peru wc started on our tour. V ' hcn we arrived at I ' eru and stepped off into the lime at Lima and ale a few limons wc started up the crowded subway to ihe White (John), Rat institute. It was al this point in our travel that I es- pied a blind beggar woman sitting with her alms-pot in her right hand, with il half filled with plugged Peruvian pennies, washers and hickcys from the Montana Bar, recently taken over by the Nalph Lawrence Brewery, Inc. Upon approaching the poor, decrepit woman, I noticed a mean, filthy looking rascal sneak towards her and dig his hand deep into her alms pot, relieving it of about half of its valuable contents. There was something de- cidedly familiar in the knave ' s appearance and as I grabbed him by his greasy locks, I ex- claimed, .Aha, Glenn Cross is again up to his old tricks. Taking advantage of a poor help- less girl like jean Clausin. For the person I had caught was none other than (iladiator Glenn, the king of the Hillyard underworld. . ' fter putting the villain in the hands of the stalwart chief of police, Joe Monk, we con- tinued our journey down the street. I had scarcely gone a block before I was almost sub- merged by a torrent of flying bodies coming from the swinging doors of a pool hall bearing the inscription Clare ' s Place. After recover- ing my poise, I looked up at the door to see the bouncer, clad in striped jersey, etc., (hisling his hands and turning to go back to the saloon. To my surprise and delight 1 liiuiid out thai the bouncer was Lysle l-Vench, our old school toughy. I started out again in our vest-pocket dir- igible and look a jaunt over to Berlin, pass- ing on my way Langford . rmstroiig, famous trans- Atlantic swimmer, and Ralph Green, traffic manager of the Howard Pearce Radio Corporation. My shoes by this time were badly in need of a shine and so wc were de- lighted when w-e found a little shoe-shining establishment under the steps of V ' estmiiistcr .• bbey. In charge of this booth were Juliette Knee, .Mexzina Porter and Irene Burke. They did a cry satisfactory job of shining my shoes, and I went on my way contented. In the radio newspaper, invented by Ken- neth Lehncr in the year 1940, 1 read of a con- test being held in Ireland in which Marvin Mc- Bean and Lorraine Mersereau were the only competitors. This happened to be a contest lo see who had the reddest hair in the world. Ill all the countries I had been in thus far, 1 had heard much of the fame of the Pari- sian dancers so when I dropped in at the House of Seven Veils (eight of them in the wash, for it was Monday) in Paris I de- cided to give them the once over. . very tall and graceful man, accompanied by two comely maidens proved to be Oral Hubbard, Leona Imus and Ruth Witt. Ever since their high school days they had been dancing for a living. Il is said that they will dance for man-- hours for a single shekel. In Berlin I visited the Mengle Toy company, formerly the Krupp (jun Works. T found Mr. Mengle to be a very rich man— in his own country. .A few blocks from the toy factorx I found little Marjoric Weber in charge of a straight pretzel stand. Business was poor, and she was comiilaiiiiiig of her health. Kenneth (Slinky) Davis was found lo be the leader of a political revolution in Russia. He had Dorothy Calhoun and Joe Pearson as his advisors, . rdith Mellinger was the pre- sent head of the employment bureau in Mos- cow. After discussing the unemployment problem with the deaconess T found out that she had regained her maiden name after her unsuccessful marriage with Don Rutter. When I dropped in at Canton, China, I found Joel Slecth operating a ))ush-cart which was conveying John l)e. rmand, I ' niled States ambassador to China. Down at Yokahama I found Wilson Schulihess and Chuck Smith operating Japanese negligee stores. Ray Ron- I aid is said to have a forluiic lied up in iho chop sucy and noodle industry. On our trip home I found Curt Stone in Hawaii tcariiiR around barefooted just like the rest of the natives — and be sure swung a mean cocoanul ! When we reached the three mile limit we were overtaken In a big hydroplane in which sat Katherine Lawson and several other prom- inent prohibition leaders. Upon asking her how her great work was progressing, I re- ceived the reply that her efforts were not in vain, and that her 20 years labor in the temperance work had a great deal to do with the prosperity of the American bootleggers. V hcn I arrived in the great west where men are men and the women are glad of it, 1 found out that the town of Shelby, Montana, was staging its second heavyweight champion- ship 1)oxing match.

PT YOURSELF T MUST he said that wise is the young person who has learned at some time during his high school course the secret of adapting him- self to conditions instead of futilely attem pting to adapt conditions to his personality. This docs not mean of course any submer- gence of individuality. One can mold his character to people and things met in his ex- istence and still dare to be different. In high school, our teachers, or at least the conscientious ones, have attempted to pre- sent the work to each individual pupil in his own terms. That is their business, to study young people, and adapt themselves. But life, meaning a business or professional career, is under no obligation ; it does not have to at- tempt to reach you in your terms. It demands that you adapt yourself to it. EDUCATION ' S END? + The stern necessities of life compel us to learn. If we do not learn of our own volition and initiative, we are taught by compulsion. As students in high school we are obliged to go to school. As young men and grand- fathers we will still be going to .school. Even though we may graduate from high school and then college, our school days never end because life is a school, and every man born into the world is a pupil with old Experience as his greatest teacher. However, as we pass through the s. v:ral ages of man, we can supplement the teachings of Experience with a schooling of o ir own initiative that does much to counteract the discipline the school of life gives to those who take their early school days -n .i light superficial manner. What we learn out of books is invaluable, and the day is fast approaching when the so 34 calk ' d sclf-maik- men — who from -.he farm rose, through sclf-lraiiiing, to the lop of hc business rung — arc slowly passing away. ' ith more men in our colleges loday than all the colleges had as living graduates a few years ago, it is easily seen that the management of the future, much more than before, will he in the hands of minds early trained in our uni- versities of learning rather than in the uni- versities of experience. Ko one should consider a iniiversity c )nrse other than a training— a short cut, an oppor- tunilv builder, an inspiration to help us to help ourselves to grasp the essentials that make for success. Competition of college-trained men is going to have its effect on our future leadership. 4 4 ISX ' T IT SO? ' tplimisiTi ! Yea ! There isn ' t another single word in the English language, or in any other, that carries as deep a meaning. There isn ' t another single trait in the make-up of humanity that compares with it. The optimist is the man who sees a silver lining through every cloud. He sees the doughnut, ' ' the pessimist sees the hole. He is the man who succeeds. He may not be famous but in his own little sphere he makes the sun shine through the tears. An optimist can ' t be kept down. He is the man who makes friends and keeps them. If one hope crashes, a new one takes its place. If fate seems unjust, he makes the best of it and tries to forget. When a black cat crosses his path, it means good luck. H he breaks his leg on Friday 13, it would have happened had the day been Sun- day, Christmas brings a lot of bills to the pessimist and fills the optimist ' s stocking brimful of good cheer. The pessimist asks Is there any milk in that pitcher? The optiinisl says, Please pass the cream. Three cheers! That man is an optimist. Mc is the man to emulate. 4 ON .Ari ' l.ICATIOX How often have we heard some brilliant student who has won some contest, or ac- complished something wt)rlhy of praise, say, I didn ' t put much time on it, or I didn ' t study or pre])are? ' ' Such people arc discour- aging and their statements should be dis- counted. They arc prompted either by a sense of modesty, which in itself is becoming enough, or by a praise seeking motive which seems to others to be the underlying reason which affects an air of conceit. Thomas A. Edison has said, Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. The meaning is obvious, and if the statement is true in Ediscm ' s case, who is an acknowledged genius, how much more is it applicable to usr ot only Edison, but a host of our most successful men in all walks of life, have ap- proached life ' s tasks and solved its problems in the same way. As a result many have developed into geniuses, or ha -e won the highest renown in iheir respective fields of labor. According to their own testimony they owe their success to a close application to routine and detail, until the attainment of an eminent position made it possible for them to relegate details to others. We hear much these days about the ability to concentrate and aliout the taWiit and ability to do things. W e should remember, however, that most of the men of marked ability had to start from the same level that we occupy and that it was only liy using their ability and ' the power of application and concentration they then had that more was given. Therefore, we should not pa too much at- tention to the student who, whatever his mo- tive, pretends that whatever success or honor he has obtained is due to natural talent. The chances arc thai hard work and close appli- cation were responsible for it. Let us, those who are still in high school, take courage then. The means and the oppor- tunity to acquire ability and success through hard work and application are still ours, a good way for us to begin is to become intensely interested in some phase of school activity which will command our rarest powers and enlist our highest enthusiasm.

The snow on the road had been packed firmly hy the hoofs of many a fleeting horse and the gliding rinmers of many a flying sleigh. The jingle of bells and the ring of careless but happy greetings of merrymakers rang clear in the brisk air as they passed Yc Old Wayside Inn. Snow covered yew and hawthorne hedges like marble walls bordered the path leading from the highway to the heavy green door of the tavern. The thatch roofed stables at the rear of the inn smelled of fragrant hay, while the shouts of busy grooms and the neighs of spirited hor.ses could be heard from within. Some harnessed horses, hitched on the out- side, stamped impatiently for the return of I their masters; the white vapor from their nos- trils formed in frosty crystals about their bits. Inside Ye Old Wayside Inn where it was warm and cheerful, happy voices welcomed every stranger who stopped on his way to I warm his tingling fingers and to take in the gossip. At one end of the massively beamed room was a great hearth where a cheerful fire roared and cracked as if pleased by the way it was roasting a great joint of mutton, and over all a mingled odor of ale and browning , meat seemed to add to the deliciousness of the I old English atmosphere. The proprietor, Bonnie Face Giles by name, j wandered from table to table, chatting con- I genially with his customers. He was a jovial person with a fat stomach, shiny round checks, red nose, and deep hearty voice. Rusty strands of hair fell upon his broad but rather low forehead, and one could tell by his very ap- pearance that he owned a heart as big as the pewter mug from which he quaffed his ale. A door on the opposite side of the room I opened, and a blushing girl entered, carrying a large tray with savory foods and wines for the hungry boarders. Ha ! Ha ! shouted Bonnie Face Giles, let us all drink to the flavor of the oncoming feast, and as he continued, the men rose, blew the foam from the tops of their mugs. JK NoiUIKAN Prise and with a boisterous hudrah, drained them. While the men were still in an uproar, the heavy oaken door swung open and young God- frey, snow covered and flushed, blew into the room. He was a rather Beau Brummcl sort of a fellow, and never too tired to stop a while and joke. With a loud greeting to all, he removed his wraps and joined a nearby group which consisted of Aoung fellows some- what of his own type. The feasting and merrymaking were re- sumed. Bonnie P ' ace Giles when he passed Godfrey, shook his hand a hearty welcome. Well, young fellow, his deep voice drawled out, what will it be for you now ? I would treat my friends, came the reply; and as my guinea purse is rather fat today, why not make merry while it lasts? That ' s right, my son ; I used to be like that when I was young. But when one reaches my ripe old age, he becomes more thrifty. As he finished, his hand came down so heavily upon Godfrey ' s shoulder that the poor fellow was forced to ga.sp for his breath. Then, when he leaned back and laughed his hearty ap- proval, it seemed that the small apron whose strings would hardly reach around his enor- mous waist, would split. Bonnie Face Giles, with the bowl of his long stemmed meerschaum pipe resting in the palm of his hand, strode lazily across the room and seated himself near the hearth in his old favorite high I)acked chair. As he gazed into the glowing embers and flames, his fat fingers unconsciously traced the hand carved grooves in the fine old mahogany arms. Nancy, his faithful old foxhound, watched her chance from the corner, and advancing shyly, burrowed her cold muzzle into his cup- ped hand. He patted the sleek head ; and as he did so, a ring of white tobacco smoke rose slowly upward and encircled his head like a halo. hile musing thus, the jingle of sleigh bells penetrated the tavern walls and came to his ears. It reminded him of the jingling gold pieces in his money bag, and his hand from force of habit, sought his pockets where he 36 always kept the bag. He loved the sound of clinking coins. His fingers fumbled in the empty pockets. The bag was gone. His great body fairly staggered from fright and anxiety as he rose from his chair. His mind labored, but he could not recall the last lime he had had it in his hands. It must have licc ' ii while he was jollying w ' ith his friends. Kiishiiig madly into their midst, he demanded their attention in a high gasping voice so dif- ferent from his usual deep drawl. Almost instantly the loud laughter and conversation ceased, and all fi ' imecd in(|iiiriiigly in his direc- tion. My dear men, he pronounced clearly, since all the dizziness had left his head, I certainlj- trust you all, but I regret to say that someone has taken my money bag from me, or I have unknowingly lost it in your presence. Noth- ing will please me more than to have you all join me in a thorough search. A thorough search did follow. Though the men looked everywhere, under tables, chairs, even in some pewter mugs, they could find no sign of money or money bag. Poor old Bonnie Face certainly wore any- thing but a bonnie face during this hunt, but presently his sharp eyes fell upon a glittering piece of gold near the feet of young Godfrey. Ill a second he ha l it in bis hands examining it. Yes, he cried, just such a shiny new coin had I in my purse. Could I but find the thieving scoundrel. 1 beg your pardon, dear sir, came from Godfrey, but that is surely my coin which you hold in your hand. Bonnie Face Gile ' s wide brow wrinkled diiiughil ull ' , as he placed the guinea on the table. Then perhaps this may account lor your full bag and my empty one, — but wait, what is this? and in another instant he held a similar coin which had been barely hidden from sight under the edge of a great bear rug. Now the curious onlookers crowded close to the scene of mystery. A few feet off lay a glittering guinea with still another not far away. The hunt had now become a merry chase in which all were participants. Bonnie Face, for such a face he wore now, was in the lead with his hands full of his lost vet found gold. Following the thief ' s tracks, they were led into the large savory kitchen, out along the frozen path, around the stables and from thence to the kennel of Nancy and her four roll.v-polly puppies. She advanced in her shy way to meet the procession, but was unheeded. Her master had no time for her, for he had found his treasure, all of which was there, even the sadly chewed leather bag. The mystery w-as solved. Nancy had play- fully pulled the bag from her master ' s pocket while he mused by the hearth, and unnoticed by him, had carried it forth as a mere play- thing for her own whining babies. That late afternoon, when the sky had al- ready begun lo darken into evening shades, and while his guests were leaving, Bonnie Face Giles asked for Godfrey ' s forgiveness, which he readily received, and adding, he said, ' My dear boy, one is never, — never, too old to learn, and again I say, dear boy, don ' t ac- cuse a friend of a crime unless you arc sure he has committed it. Young Godfrey mounted his graceful black horse, and with a cheery farewell, disappeared in the silent while distance. + 4 On Top of the World By John Pilik Second Prize Montana has rightly been named the Land iif the Shining Mountains as anyone will «iv who has lived in the treasure state for any length of time. She was not less lavish with her glories that she bestow-ed upon St. Paul Pcak( rising with all its glory like a king for- Mountains. This peak rises into the clouds thousands of feel and hides untold wonders behind her rugged summit which stirs the heart of any nature lover. One bright day in . ' ugusl I stood on the back porch of the old ranch viewing St. Paul Peak, rising with all its glory like a king for ever perched upon his throne. I had always worshipped that peak ever since I could re- member. I longed for the daj ' when I could 37 climb its walls to the very summit and say, I am on top of the world. But somehow or other as the years went by and we left the old ranch, maybe forever, my wish w as not filled. But now ' we were back ; a ray of hope filled my heart. Was 1 to be one of the few who had ever climbed her heights which towered into the clouds? Yet grimmer was the task than the description. . s I stood there, past memories flashed through my mind. 1 thought how- when years before two friends and I were within the very gales of llie peak, we were driven back. What human hand could resist the storm in the mountains? The wind whistled through the ghostly trees, the rain beat into our faces; but we were not turned from our post, until dense fog stepped into our path obliterating every thing before our eyes. 1 had not long to wonder, for that very day my friend and 1 planned to climb the peak on the morrow. W e were not to go as we had attempted before, through the fire-ravaged forest which covered the whole side of the mountain ; but we had another plan. We were to proceed through a forested draw, up a government trail for ten miles, and approach the peak from behind. Here we wxre to scale the five hundred foot wall and drop down the other side of the mountain and home, a trip o£ approximately twenty-five miles. Could we do it? That was the question only time would tell. No explorer ever had higher hopes than three boys as they left the old ranch perhaps never to return, l ittle we recognized the dangers lurking in the rock that we must climb. At the very start we were told that our plans were impossible. There had been a rope there years before, but it had rotted, and no human hand had ever been known to climb that naked rock wall. But would it not be more glory to do that which was supposed to be impossible? How strange, men leave places of .safety and comfort to cruise among the rocks of fate where death lurks at every turn. With the former thought in mind we trudged all morning up the government trail shadowed on either side by gigantic cedars shutting the sun from view. Soon the way be- came more rugged and finally, I ' nclc Sam, having no object in building trails through rugged timberless country-, ended his trail, much to our disappointment. Gradually now we were beginning to feel that our exploit was not an easy one, and as we rounded a hill, wt beheld a sight wholly natural. Before us stretched a mountain lake glarring in the sun- light and inclosed by rugged mountain peaks and rock slides. Directly behind the lake, almost vertical, towered St. Paul Peak with her utmost heights seeming to reach out and fan ihc clouds as they consistantly passed her bv. . 11 this scene was not in silence, for be- hind the lake huge white sheets of water kept up a tremendous roar which echoed through the lonely rocks. But we must not delay, the day w-as waning and our exploit was still in its youth. The next and most important ques- tion was to find a possible waj- to reach his majestic dome which in itself was almost a mountain. The front that it presented to us was at least three miles in length, a solid wall of rock actually concave in places. The peak seemed to be built layer by layer which sagged in the middle from its enormous weight. After we climbed the steep hill and made our way over cliffs above the lake, we came upon a new phenomenon. The whole natural bowl was inclosed with a shell of rock hun- dreds of feet high with everlasting snow at its base which seldom saw the sun. On all sides were immense boulders and flat rocks as smooth as if the best sculptor on earth had finished their surfaces. To one side were hun- dreds of springs trickling over the rocks and slov ly wearing grooves in them as they flowed on to feed the hungry lake below. We could stay there all day and gaze with admiration at the magnificent work of nature, but wc must start our grim work. After search- ing for a possible way to try our experience as a human fly, we saw a prospective way up and one by one we slowly started up the face of the mountain. Now clutching at a small rock for dear life, now feeling for a footing on a projection of rock, and ever working ourselves up through a crevice with our clothes keeping us from slipping. Farther and farther wc climbed, realizing that one loose rock under foot, one single slip and we would be no more. W ' e dare not glance down for fear of becom- ing dizzy and of toppling from our perch. All too often a bare inch ledge was all between us and death. Never in my life was I under such a nerve strain, but strange as it may seem nature provided some projection or some rock ledge where we might grasp and pull our- selves a few feet higher. At one instance when my feet were on a narrow rock, I grasp- 38 ed with clutching hands for something to bring me back to t ' r|uilil rium. What a terrible feel- ing to Ije slipping, with no hope of anything lo prevent it, not even a bare rock, ever - ihing depended upon mc. W hat a relief when my finger tips grasped a projecting rock. But the hand of fate must have been in our favor, for now we were nearing the portals of vic- tory. Ten feet to go but not a sole projection 10 bring ourselves up with. We even doubted if we could unclimb that which we had climbed. Aye, wc spied a Small tree projecting from a rock and growing parallel to the face of the cliff; then we mounted its base, put our back to the bare rocks and our feet to the tree and slowly worked ourselves to its top and there, we were at last on safe horizontal ground again. In a few minutes we were on the very highest of the peaks, and W ' C feasted our eyes on one of the finest views I have ever seen. As I stood with the cold breeze blowing in my face, gazing with amazement, I realized I was on top of the world. 4 Ethelbert Saves the Day ISY H.VZIX McC.V.NNON ll was an uninterested crowd that passed the bulletin board hanging outside the door of the Park Board Superintendent ' s office, but it was with the most intense interest that two young ladies read the neath ' typewritten sign tacked there. It contained three columns. In the first appeared the names of the city play- grounds in alphabetical order. In the second were women ' s names; in the third were men ' s. Breathlessly the shorter of the girls exclaimed, Oh, I have Cannon. Here ' s my name fourth on the list, and oh, look at the name of the partner. Robert E. L. Vonder — Well ! Well ! Well ! Well ! This with gestures appropriate for a yell king at the climax of the big football game of the season. Wonder what the E. L. stands for? Probably Ethelberi Latimer! Sounds good doesn ' t he? I wonder what kind of perfume he uses in his hair? I suppose he ' ll wear plus-fours to work and carry lavender handkerchiefs. He ' s probably one of these little Frcnchinen with a misplaced eye-brow and marcelled locks. I ' ll bet he doesn ' t last a day on the playground. (This also punctuated by appropriate pantomine.) Well! Help or no help, I ' ll have to stick, be- cause it means college again next fall. Bon jour. Monsieur Ethelbert, we ' ll hope for the best. During this recital a tall, dark, distinguished looking young man of athletic build stood soainiing the bulletin over the heads of the laughing pair. As they turned to go, he couldn ' t suppress a boyish grin, which made his handsome face even more handsome. He saw them turn and made an hones t effort to control his smile but in vain. The startled girls hurried away wondering, and the young man continued to grin as he turned with deeper interest to read the name, fourth on the list, opposite Robert V ' ondel. On June first, the playground season began at Cannon. It was with curiosity mixed with anxiety that Gladys Glean Palmer awaited the arrival of her partner and co-worker for the summer. It was tw ' o miiuites to nine and he had not arrived. If he should be late this first morning, she felt that the offense would be too great ever to be excused. Wheeze! Cough! Rattle! Bang! A disrepu- table Ford stopped before the door of the supply house. Could this tall, broad shoulder- ed, good looking boy advancing toward her be the Ethelbert Latimer of her sarcastic word pictures? It was. Something about the twinkle in his eyes and the smile that played aliout his lips was strangely familiar. Where had she seen that face before? The man by the bulletin board ! What must he think ; what would he do? .Xh, Mademoiselle, he trebbled, It ez what you call ze rare pleasure to meet ze inadamoiselle. During this absurd speech, this collegiate youth had transformed himself into an elaborately bowing Frenchman, flour- ishing cliallengingly a lavender, scented hand- kerchief. . nd ze friend (indicating the Ford) he ez Ethelbert Latimer. With a new coat of paint Ethelbcrt ' ll be a knockout at college next fall won ' t he? That evening, after enthusiastically describ- ing her partner to her chum, Gladys exclaimed, 39 And he ' s the name sake of General Robert E. Lee. As the summer wore on, Gladys Glean or Gee Gee and Del grew more and mo re en- grossed in their work. Until, when a letter arrived announcing the convention on August ninth of the Park Boards of the Northwest and the contemplated inspection tour of the city playgrounds as part of the program, they resolved to make their playground the best in the city. The letter stated further that the superintendent proposed to demonstrate to the convention that he had the most efficient and best organized staff of playground supervisors on the Pacific Coast. An inducement of two hundred dollars was offered to the playground workers who cooperated most successfully in putting this idea across. Which means, laughed Del, reading Ir- tween the lines, that the old codgcr ' ll be pro- moted to the presidency of the Park Board of the Pacific Coast and get about fifty dollars a week raise. He can afford to offer a two hundred dollar prize. Now, the thing for us to do is to win that prize. They began immediately to plan for the event. They would advertise an Athletic Day, have contests, a hand work exhibit, all fields of sports, competitive games, and to make the day perfect, a picnic. This would attract the children to the playground, and on that day of days they would have a record at- tendance. So, they planned. Del whistled merrily as he climbed out of the car and pushed open the supply house door. He quickly saw, however, that the spirits of his little partner were not in accord with his own. She sat in a forlorn, dejected attitude on a pile of whittling blocks, clutching in her hand a piece of a glaring advertise- ment, the kind one associates with a circus With tears starting in her eyes she held it up for him to see. There in bright red letters against a background of yellow was printed the date, August 9. Below this was a girl in pink tights standing on the back of a white horse. It did advertize a circus and that circus was to be August 9. It was unbeliev- able; it was not so. Yet here in front of him was the awful poster, it must be so. As an incredulous look came into his face, she ex- claimed in a tearful voice, How could fate be so cruel? I wanted my half of the two hundred dollars so Iiadly. I suppose I should not have counted my chickens before they were hatched, but I did want to lake music next fall. To have the time I would have to give up my work in the bookstore. This money would have made up what 1 would lose. With a circus in town, what boys or girls would come to the playground. We ' ll make a fin showing when that bunch of inspectors gci here, won ' t we? They ' ll go home wondering why we are maintained on the pay roll and thinking that the playgrounds fill no great need in the lives of the children here. They ' ll think we ' re fine, efficient workers, won ' t they with not even enough oungsters here for a ! baseball game? It was not because he felt cheeilul, for he did not, that Del tried to cheer Gee Gee, but l)ccause he realized that it would do no good to accept such a viewpoint. Besides he really ' did not think the situation as bad as it looked ; but it was with a confidence he did not feel that he assiu ' ed Gee Gee that he would have a record crowd in attendance at the play- grounds on circus day. The rest of that day and the succeeding days Del was preoccupied ; he was turning a problem over in his mind. How could he make the playground a more attractive place than the circus on August 9. He had | made a promise and now must manage some how to make good that promise. Not only that, he wanted his share of the two hundred dollars. He needed capital to start his pet business scheme. He wanted to earn his way through college by satisfying the hunger of the hamburger and hot-dog lovers. In short, he wanted to start a hot dog stand which he was sure would be a paying concern; but he needed capital. If he could win this prize, he thought that the success of his plan was assured. While they prepared and decorated tables for the coping saw exhibits, Del seemed un- usually cheerful, but he refused to divulge the secret of his joy. A great load had been lifted from his mind. On August 8 Del appeared with three cans of red paint, three of gray, one of black, five large pieces of cardboard, an array of brushes, and a cheery whistle. In answer to Gee Gee ' s inquiring stare, he offered to let her in on the secret. Soon both, arrayed in pieces of old canvas as a protection to their clothing, were merrily slapping paint on poor old Latimer. Xo sacrifice was too great to make for the common cause, not even that of dignity. When this was finished to their sat- isfaction, Ethelbert resembled a zebra, a freak- ish gray zebra, with beautiful, if somewhat un- 40 even, crimson stripes. Then a busy hour was spent making signs with striiiing black letter- ing. hen dry, these were tacked on all sides of the car. The next morning the eyes of the entire populace were riveted on a most peculiar ve- hicle which followed the last straggling horses in the circus parade. The people stared with open mouths at the creation of red and gray stripes slowly moving down the street to the accompaniment of a dishpan struck by a small boy standing in the back seat. Then a mighty cheer went up ; the people had recognized a Ford, although Solomon in all his glory had never been arrayed like this. It was poor old Ethclbert, and who would have supposed he would receive an ovation like this? The young man driving was none other than Ro- bert E. L. Vondell, and Spud, one of the faith- ful little boys, had been pressed into service to his great delight. Xow he was yelling at the top of his voice, Big .Athletic Day at Can- non Playground ! Games and Races ! Free lemonade for all children from two to four o ' clock ! Better than the circus ! Save your money ! Play at the playground ! Get your lemonade! Pink lemonade absolutely free! The success of this means of advertising was well illustrated, when about one tliirty o ' clock, children began to flock to Cannon from all parts of the city. Large and small they came carrying the largest cups they pos- sessed. By two o ' clock all previous attendance records had been broken, and still the chil- dren came ; until Gee Gee, busily stirring sugar and pinkness into the lemonade, began to fear that there would not be enough for everyone. Del came into the supply house which had been converted into a kitchen, grin- ning cheerfully and dumped five more gal- lons of water into the barrel of already weak liquid. When the caravan of automobiles contain- ' iug inspectors arrived at two o ' clock every- thing was life and activity. The baseball fans I were having a spirited game of ball ; in the tennis courts three tournaments were being played off; volley ball teams were competing lor each other ' s lemonade; two teams were playing an animated game of bat-ball ; on the green grass in the cool shade of the trees which lined the fence. Gee Gee was teaching the smaller children to play New Orleans. Del stood on the edge of the shallow swimming pool directing races; shutes, tecterlKiards, and swings were being used with gaiety; all was bustle and motion ; all was merriment. The superintendent ' s eye beamed when he saw such a crowd of children. He had been disappointed at the lack of life on the other playgrounds, but this was one to be proud of. The visiting Park Board were much inter- ested in supervisors who could attract and so delightfully entertain a large crowd of chil- dren on circus day. They looked with delight at the animated scene before them. They li ngered and exclaimed over the whittling and coping saw exhibits, and at last drove away, declaring that they had seen the ideal play- ground. As the last car passed out of sight, Del suddenly decided that the children needed no more swimming instruction and started on a run for the supply house. Here he almost ran into Gee Gee who had also quickly deserted her post. While dipping out pink lemonade for every youngster in that crowded noisy line, they discussed their plans for the coming school year. Gee Gee ' s ladle hit the bottom of the barrel as she dipped to fill the cup of the last small boy in the long line. She sank down on the pile of whittling blocks, this time, tired but happy. Ethelbert had saved the day. ■ SCHOOL 1 put my heart to school In the world where men grow wise : Go out, I said, and learn the rule : Come back when you win a prize. My heart came back again : Xow where is the prize? I cried — The rule was false, and the prize was pain. And the teacher ' s name was Pride. I put my heart to school In the woods where veeries sing Am brooks run clear and cool. In the fields where wild flowers spring. And why do you stay so long ' My heart, and where do you roam ? ! The answer came with a laugh and a song, — j I find this school is home. | — Henry Van Dyke. ' 41 The Verdict By Polly South mayd The (lay was hcautifiil. li was so very lieaiiliful thai I, riding in a swift moving tram, fell as though the country lying outside the window, stretching miles and miles away, were a fairy-land. So perfect was the beauty that I thought, Could anyone have a sorrow on such a day as this? Yet no more had I spoken to myself thus than I learned that the greatest sorrow of one ' s life may come on a most beautiful day. Two men took their seals directly behind me. Their talk seemed to be about various trials and court proceedings. Their conversa- tion drifted to a trial that, apparently, one of them had attended but a short time back. On the day of that trial, spring had arrayed the earth in her brightest colors. The coolness of a tiny breeze caressed the new-born flowers, typical of early spring. The first birds were calling, the first butterflies were flitting here and about. All outdoors appeared to greet the great golden disc that glided so brilliantly across the southern sky. In the courtroom of a small town hall in a diminutive village, all persons had forgotten that the flowers were blooming for them ; that the birds were singing their love songs; that the sun was smiling brightly. All the glories of nature had been set aside as unimportant, trivial. A matter of life and death was to be deter- mined in that courtroom that very afternoon. The crowded room had been filled in the earlier part of the day with people. All were silent as the judge spoke. His countenance was hard, his manner stiff and formal, his eyes were sharp and keen. The defendant will now speak, giving his motives for his actions, his very actions, and the results of those same, on the evening of January twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred twenty-six. All eyes were turned upon a young man, stalwart and tall. Lines were drawn severely across his face. He rose slowly, facing the judge. With a contemplative survey of the assembled citizens, the jury, the attorneys, and last of all the accusers, he stood quietly. Then drawing a deep breath, he spoke in slow, cer- tain tones ; his words ringing through the silenced court. Your Honor: I have been accused of mur- der, premeditated and cold-blooded murder. I contend it was not murder. However to you, and to the rest, those assembled here who condemn, and those who sympathize, I confess 1 was the cause of her death, but it was not murder. His voice became deeper and his eyes sought the far distant hills. My wife was ill, had been paralyzed for months. Her life was misery, a burden to her. She was experiencing a living death. She would faint; she would choke; and she was not able to lie in bed during the entire time of her invalidism. Instead, a leather-cushion- ed chair was her onlj- place of rest. For months she slept and ate, sitting in that chair. I had specialists from all over the country diagnose her case. All shook their heads and said, ' It is hopeless. In all probability she will live years, slowly dying from the disease. Her case is fatal. She will never recover. The paralysis will take several years before reach- ing the heart. When the heart is affected, then will life cease. ' Some way my wife learned of her fate. She learned that her case was a living death. She learned she was destined to long years of suffering. She thought that already she was a burden to me. I tried to make her believe that never would I feel that her helplessness was a hindrance to me. It was not. I vow it was not. I wanted to help her. I would gladly have given my life to save her if it were possible. fi The man paused, the courtroom was silent. . sound of a robin, twittering and calling in a nearby tree was distinct in the quietude, Im: no one heard. 42 Again the defendant drew a long breath, a I lircalh that appeared to be very painful. The judge stiffened. Oh 1 ' twas a week before her death, her passing, that she became utterly depressed. She begged, she implored, she tried to bril)c me to give her the medicine that was prescribed by a doctor. It was a compound that quieted the nerves, producing sleep. Two capsules at one time was the correct dose. More than that would result in death. I dared not trust her with the box. That week she had her choking spells more 1 often than usual; they were more violent. She continued to beg for the capsules. Finally, she said, ' John, John dear, if you love me, his voice broke. Then he continued ; his tone was low and reminiscent ; his eyes were seek- ing the tiny clouds of the far away sky. She said, ' John, if you love me, you will let me ' end my life-long suffering. God will forgive ' What was I to do? Soon after, her face paled, and conscious- ness slipped from her like a heavy robe. 1 rushed to her. I fanned her. 1 cried to her to hear me. I called her name over and over. 1 prayed to God that He might give the strength to me to release her from her suffer- ing. She was so peaccfid there, so contented in her unconsciousness. Might I be able to give her the freedom she sought. I prayed that, if God saw that it was right, He might give me the strength. God did give me the force, the power to grant her only wish. Slowly the feeling grew within me that I I was right in doing it. The thought hurt, oh, no one can ever know how it hurt. It cut, it shriveled something alive within me. My soul seemed to hide, to leave me. I fell lifeless, yet that sense of doing the right rose within me, grew greater, enveloped me. I was no I longer of this world. I was only a tool, a tool that had the power of releasing the only one I loved from suffering, suffering that would last years, years long. She opened her eyes while my head was yet bowed, and she said, so quietly, so cry quietly, ' John, oh John dear, I hate to leave you. I love you, I do love you, John. Pray that God will not call it wrong to give me the capsules. John, my suffering will burden you, will embitter me toward life. ' Twere well I should pass on. I shall be in a place better by far than here, John. Please, please John I give me the box. ' I looked deep into her eyes, and there I read her future, a future in a happier land. I rose mechanically. I reached for the box, for the glass of water. I placed them, one in each of her hands. Holding her face between my palms, I again and for the last time, the very last time, I looked, looked deep into her ej es and saitl, ' Joyce, I love you ; ma ' God sanction this act. ' I stooped and kissed her. 1 gave her one searching look, closed my eyes, and kneeled beside her while she swallowed her death potion. I heard the glass as she set it on the table beside her. I heard her as she said, ' Good-bye, John dear. He brave and good. God has forgiven. ' I pressed her hand gently, as I held it. 1 prayed. V hen again I opened my eyes, hers I were closed as in earthly sleep, but which I knew to be eternal slumber, divine and sweet. During his speaking not a person in all that rcjom moved except to wipe awaj- the tears that would come. The man slowly resumed his seat. Many in the jury had eyes that were wet. The judge, that impassive judge, sat with eyes glistening with tears. The man sat with bowed head and his shoulders shook as if by violent sobs that gave no audible sound; sobs that caused his entire body to tremble. The jury filed into an ad- jacent room, one by one. Minutes passed. Silent, long, unbroken min- utes. All the assembled persons sat with heads bowed as in prayer. Soon the door of the ad- jacent room opened. All eyes were lifted, in each a look of fear, then hope, finally un- certainty, as the jury again filed ! ■ one by one. One of them remained standiiig. Reading I from a paper which he nervously fumbled, and ' which shook tremulously in his hand, he de- livered the verdict. W hat the juror said, I have never been able to learn. I was interrupted at the time the man seated behind me told his companion the result of the trial. My mind was constantly returning to the unfinished conversation of a great sorrow on a day of perfect beauty, which I had overheard. The day was completely ruined because T, being only one person in- stead of twelve, was not, nor am I now, able to determine what the verdict should have been concerning the right or wrong of this young man ' s so-called murder. 43 Forensics the annual Triangular Dehatcs with Lewis and Clark negative team in our own auditor- ium before an audience estimated at 850 people. Those who upheld the Red and Black were Ronald Phares, John DcArmand and Keinieth C. Davis. Despite the fact that the North Central de- baters had a case which should have surprised the negative speakers and taken them off their feet, the news of the case apparently had reached the Lewis and Clark team and they were fully prepared for it. The affirmative put up an exceptionally hard fight, but the decision was two to one in favor of the nega- tive. A negative team composed of Kathryn Sled- man, Daisy Stevens and Richard Campl)ell nu t the Hillyard affirmative team in the Hillyard high school auditorium on the same evening. .Although many of the arguments advanced by Hillyard missed entirely the negative ' s case, which was also more or less of a surprise, the Railroaders won a two to one decision. Charles A. Chandler, debate coach, spent a great deal of time in working with the de- baters and he deserves commendation for the many efforts he has put forth. 44 1 f — =— jEH.ATING this semester has been the only forensic activity, the two prin- cipal events being the Medals De- bale and the Inlerscholastic Debates with Lewis and Clark and Hilljard. I One question was debated through- out the semester: Resolved, That the benefits derived from the Washington Slate primary law justify its retention. Early in th semester the preliminaries Jor the Medals Debate were begun, thirty- eight students participating in the first roiuid. Freshmen and sophomores competed in one division and juniors and seniors in anoihtr. From the division including juniors and sen- iors, after two rounds of preliminaries, the six best debaters were selected to particii)ate in ihe annual Medals Debate, which was hold December 3. In this contest W ' illard Bungay, John De.Armand and Ronald Phares upheld the affirmative, while Kathryn Stcdman, Daisy Stevens and Richard Campbell defended the negative. The two gold medals, w-hich are awarded for individual merit, were won by John De. rmand and Ronald Phares. On the evening of January 7, the most im- portant event of the debate year took place.

The design- ing of this issue of The Tamarack has been entirely given over to Miss Stowell for the first time and the success of the senior annual this year is mainly due to her efforts. All designs were submitted by students in the ad- vanced art classes, the best ones being chosen for the title pages, the picture outlays and the cover. Langford Armstrong as art editor has charge of all sport layouts and did much in the de- signing of the title pages and features. Other students who helped with the art work on this issue are Blanche Fride, who designed the senior layouts and end piece, Pat Henry, who helped with the title pages, Glenn Cross, who assisted in the sports layouts and John White who designed the cover and the senior insert. The art department has had an extremely busy year generally. Cartoons for The News, designs for The Tamarack, scenery for the operetta, and class plays, signs and posters for the library and the halls and all other art work have all been done by students in the arts classes under the supervision of Miss Stowell. It has been under the competent leadership of Miss Stowell, who has had charge of this department since it was founded when the school was first started, that art has been an especially potent factor in the school curricu- lum. Jewelry, special arts and applied design are taught in the • courses given by Miss Stowell. All the art subjects are elective, Miss Stowell teaching special arts the first four periods and the jewelry classes the sixth and seventh periods. Miss Riker teaches applied design for girls. Jewelry is offered to seniors only and may be taken one or two periods a day, as the stu- dent wishes. A credit is given for ten periods a week and a half credit for five. All the fun- damental processes in jewelry making are taught, from making designs to stone-cutting and enameling. Ornaments are not the only things made. Bowls, trays, book-ends, lamp shades and many other articles are fashioned from copper and bronze. Silver is generally used only for jewelry. A show case in the lower hall is used exclusively for displaying the work of students. Special arts is probably the most important part of the art course. More time is devoted to this branch of work and more real material work is accomplished in these two classes than in any others in the entire school. Four years ' study is offered students. They learn repre- sentative drawing, perspective, object and figure drawing, design, lettering and composi- tion. Pencil, crayon, charcoal and water colors are used as mediums. At different times with the aid of a day- light projector, the history- of costume has been studied. This term the Art club, a club composed of art students, secured an exhibit of paintings by old masters and contemporary artists. The pictures were put on exhibition in room 12, the art room, where they were open to the public. In applied design the students learn how to apply their knowledge of art to painted and ge.ssoed boxes, raffia baskets and dyed and woven textiles. Pretty painted scarfs and handkerchiefs come from this department. Work in the spring is different from that in the fall. Clay modeling and outdoor sketching are predominant in the spring. Work in fall flowers, sketches of the human figure, futur- istic posters and Christmas cards and designs were the principal problems this term. The scenery for the operetta was designed by Clarence Henry and built by Robert Edge with the help of the stage crew. Carl Reichert and Langford Armstrong designed the scenery for the marionette show put on by the first period public speaking class. Langford also designed the scenery for the class play, The Slave with Two Faces. 49 The Operetta |HAT was credited as being the most successful operetta ever produced at Korth Central, The Lass of Lim- erick Town, the fifteenth annual opera given by the music department, was given on the nights of December 10 and 11 in the school auditorium before capacity audiences. Exceptional ability was shown by all the leads in the cast. Critics judged their singing and acting to be that of professionals. The chorus sang harmoniously and the dancing was cleverly executed. A great deal of the credit must go to the splendid cooperation be- tween the cast and the directors. Glenn Cross, as Captain Pomeroy Worthing- ton. Lucy Martz, as Betty McCoy and Lois Fe rris as Rose McCoy won for themselves favorable comment and worthy praise. Glenn showed that he had real ability m ihe way he carried his role. He has a fine voice and was suited in every respect to the part. Lucy took the feminine lead and kept the audience delighted with her charming per- sonality and voice. Lois has a voice which was outstanding in the performance. This with her smile and striking appearance was well re- ceived by the audience. C. Olin Rice directed the musical part of the opera. Miss Dorothy Deane coached the players in their lines. Miss Elsa Pinkhani had charge of the dancing numbers. Miss Lillian Stowell designed the stage constructions and stage decorations. Miss Emma Dalquest filled the role of faculty wardrobe adviser. E. E. Green acted as business adviser. The opera setting was in Ireland in the year of 1890. Sir Charles Worthinglon has promised his friend, Donald McCoy, as the latter lay dying, that his son Pomeroy, should marry McCoy ' s daughter. Rose. Pomeroy, (Captain Worthington) became of age. Rose, living with her uncle and her cousin in Lim- erick town, inherited a fortune left by a rich American uncle. Captain Worthington, reluc- tant, but desirous of pleasing his father, and knowing that his family is in dire need of money, set out for Limerick Town to woo Rose. Rose suspected that his motives were more mercenary than amorous and decided to pas- hcrself off for Betty, her penniless but beauti- ful cousin. The Captain arrived, and suspect ing that such a trick might be played on him addressed his attentions to Rose (masquerad- ing as Betty), though from the miiuite he .set eyes on the real Betty he loved her. Entangle- ments followed. Rose, convinced that his motives were entirely mercenary, in a flare of anger, told him that he had better pay his attentions to her cousin Rose (Betty). The captain, delighted, courted Betty; discovered that she was a pauper and was plunged to the depths of despair. Sir Charies arrived and denounced the Captain for loving a penniless girl. A deadlock followed. Out of a clear sky came E ra Q. Hicks, who through the differ- ence in time l)ctwcen Ireland and . merica antf bis diary proved that Hetty is the real heiress to the American uncle ' s fortune. . ' ll, even Rose, were happy. Rose found consolation in her hitherto unsuccessful suitor, Justin O ' Flynn. Lois Murphy and James Hocking in the parts of Lady and Sir Charles VNorthington were well received in their duet numbers. Lowery Bciniett as Judge Hoolcy, the guardian of the fair cousins, showed up well in the musical numbers. Curtis Stone was probably the most amusing figure of the evening in the character part of Ezra Q. Hicks. His dancing and songs were cleverly done. Beulah Hoffman made a charming Irish mother and her son, Justin O ' Flynn, played by Harlan Terry w-as a typical love sick young man. Thomas McXcill and Jacqueline Gifford played the parts of a loving couple very well. Bill Ross as the jolly inn-keeper received his share of applause. Joel Sleeth and Chalmer Nance were typical English servants. The three dances that came between the acts were beautifully staged and well done. The costuming was original and appropriate. The girls in the Irish dance were : Lucille Baltzell, 52 Dorothy Barton, Ella Foth, Dorothy Potter, Eli alieth P ' arkcr, Marjory Persons, Audrey Robb, Myra Lee Stauffer, Ruth Walker, Dor- othy W ' chh, Lucia.. Whitcmarsh and Belva Peck. The Irish Rose dance which was admired so much was put on by the following: Bea- iriic Bcmiss, Elaine O ' DonncIl, Velnia Gard- ner, Evelyn Henkle, Lenore Kippen, V ' irginia Lee Maguire, Vera Plath, Maybelle Martin, Lois Schroeder, Lois Stephens, Mina Trabert and Mildred Wiggs. The Sailor dance was given by Marion LcFevre, Ivloise MacCamy and Marjoric Ruth Gaines. The chorus was composed of the following: Pearl Bollons, Mildred Carr, Ethlyn Churchill, Kosc Coakley, Dorothy Darby, Elizabeth I (f 4 1 XEW idea was put into practice by 1 the senior dramatics class this sem- jLVjl ester. It was to have three one-act K l5 plays in place of the customary aCSra three-act class play. This plan is y| new to North Central, although it has been done at many eastern schools and at The three plays chosen for production were : The Travelers, a comedy by Booth Tarking- loii; Barbara, a serious English play with touches of comedy, by Jerome K. Jerome and The Slave with Two Faces, an allegory by Mary Carolyn Davies. The plays were coached by Miss Dorothy Deane, dramatic director. Student directors were; Kathleen Naish, Ruth Thornton and Hazel Gillc. Miss Pinkham coached the danc- ing in the Slave with Two Faces and Miss Stowell supervised the scenic construction. The business was managed by Paul Crooks, Marjorie Weber acted as property manager and Helen Pleiss was wardrobe mistress. The plays were well received and the casts acted quite professionally. Thomas McNeill in the role of Mr. Roberts of The Travelers made a good American business man. Kalherine Potter and Norma Jacobs as Mrs. Roberts in alternate nights were well liked by the audience. They played the part of a smart American mat- ron exceptionally well. Jeanne Clausin and Ar- Fischer, Coleen Fowler, Charlotte Freeborg Vivienne Coble, Edna Grimsrud, Carol How- ard, Ethel Hughes, Hazel M. L.

Smothcrman. mentia Schacherl as Jessie, the very modern daughter of the Roliert ' s, delighted the aud- ience. Freddie Slidell the young man in love with Jessie, was played by Arkill Israel. Mrs, Slidell, the mother of Freddie, was played by Bessie Irvine and Janice Schermerhorn who amused the audience with their hysterical lines. Carlton Glader in the role of La Sera, played the part of an Italian courier well. Paul Crooks was the chauffeur, Kathleen Naish, Joe Hove and Arkill Israel played the parts of Maria, Luigi and Salvatore, Italian servants. The Slave with Two Faces a play of a heavier type than the other two required skill- ful acting. Those taking parts were quite capable of their parts, however. Carlton Glader in the title role of Life played a difficult part well. Kathcrine Law- son and Ardith Mellinger as the First Girl on alternate nights were highly acclaimed. Betty Campbell and Dorothy Calhoun as the Second Girl were well applauded for their skillful acting. Atmosphere was given to the play by the following characters ; working man, Joe Hove ; woman, Marjoric Weber ; young woman. Hazel Gille; old man, Fred Bruya; voices, Helen Pleiss, Kathleen Naish and Ruth Thornton. The English play, Barbara was enjoyed + + The Class Play immensely I)y the audience. The entire cast mastered the English accent in a noteworthy way. Barbara, the young dressmaker, was played by Frances Manning and Miriam Walker. l?oth girls played the part well. Lilie Lcalan, the younger adopted daughter of Bar- Louise Sayles who acted the part of a spoiled but still likeable girl very well. Ralph Green in the role of Cecil Norton, a poor young author, pleased his audience. Fred Bruya a-. Mr. Kiiniicum, a country doctor, added much color to the play. The Band |ROB. BLY the oldest and one of the most beneficial of all school enterprises is the North Central Band. Its wonderful support of the various school activities deserves the commendation of everyone interested in any way with the welfare of our school. With a membership of 85, the band is ac- credited the largest ever in operation in the school, and is also the largest high school band in the northwest. The full band is divided in- to several smaller units, in which the boys of exceptional ability are given a chance. The concert band consists of 50 members aTid the leadiujj saxophone players are given an oppor- tunity in the saxophone octet. Twenty-three appearances have been made by the band this year, including seven convo- cations, two parades, four football games and also broadcast over KFIO on November 20 and gave an initial broadcast over KHQ on November 4. The major appearance was made on the night of December 22. In it was offered the best in quality and music yet undertaken by the band. They successfully presented Hcrold ' s overture, Zampa, one of the most difficult pieces ever attempted by them. Num- bers included selections by the full band, con- cert band, saxophone octet, trumpet duets and soloists. This year the band had an opportunity to play before larger audiences than ever before. The meeting of the annual convention of the Washington Education Association, held in Spokane this year, and attended by more than 2000, was opened by the band. At each of the three large games played in Spokane, the W. S. C.-Gonzaga, N. C.-L. C. and Gonzaga- St. Mary ' s, 5,000 to 10,000 people were treated to selections by the band. The members of the band are: Solo cornets — .Adrian Armstrong, Chester Griffith, John Huneke, Harleigh Lines, Joe Pearson, Bill Koss, Victor Schatz, Lawrence Thompson; first cornets — Arthiu Becker, Norman Coulter, Franklyn Jacobs, Mertoii Poole; second cornets — Eugene Balch, Clifton Holm, Bill Nolan, Donald Sinclair; third cor- nets — Merwin Collison, John Condit, William Houck, Ray Miller; piccolos — Donald Bonscr, Lynn Smith; E flat clarinet — George Sander; first clarinet- -Fred Blackwell, Coltrell Henry, Elliot Joyncr, Fred Kasline, Louis Kcyser, Sam Knight, Howard Lundy, Ilorton Mc- Lucas, Charles ' ' ogelman, Max VN ' eber ; second clarinet— Paul Bevis, Russel Hickey, Gilbert 1 loughton, John Keyser, Maurice Persons, Gilbert Schadc ; third clarinets — Frank An- dreason, Wendell Hoesly, Richard Ireland, Powell Richardson, William Whitncll ; C soprano saxophone — Edwin Slate ; B flat soprano saxophone — Edwin Hunt, Neil Mc- Lain; alto saxophone — Elwyn .Armstrong, Henry Kayc ; C tenor sa.xophone — Irving Brooks, George Castor, George Davis, Harold Enloe, Clarence Kasline, Kenneth Starlin, Frederick Uhden ; B flat tenor saxophone- Harold Anderson, Herbert Slate; baritone saxophone — Edward Oos; bass saxophone— Lavcrne Whipple; horn — Vernon Burrill, Mil- ton Fritsch, Thomas McNeill, Howard Pikcl- simer, Philip Redford, Floyd Tesarik ; first trombone — Vincent Henry, David Wallace; second trombone — Ellis Collingham, Harold Nelson; third trombone — Robert Lochhead, David Slec; baritone — Clifford .Austin, Clc- land Harbaugh, Phillip Lewis, Russel McNeil; tuba, Kenneth Morse, Donald Ross ; sousa- phone — Lowry Bennett ; drums — Lester Camp- bell, Harley Rechard, Gerald Reubens, Art Ross, Robert Sater, Arthur Unicume. 54 The Orchestra SEVENTEEN years of growth and steady improvement have now made the orchestra an organization of which every student in North Cen- tral may be justly proud. In 1909, when the orchestra was started, it was in Mr. Rice ' s own words, a cry for help. On several occasions, the musical organiza- tion, which consists of 42 pieces, has given dis- dinctive performances. One of the most impor- tant events was the accompaniment of all the numbers in the operetta, The Lass of Limerick Town. Numbers were given during the in- termission at the class plays, January 14 and 15. The orchestra also played at the bacca- laureate service and at commencement. Credit for the outstanding success of the orchestra is due to Mr. C. Olin Rice who has been in charge of the music department at -Vorth Central ever since there has been a school by that name. The following are members : Lloyd Carlson, Tris VVinslow, Ruth Berg, Ruth Witt, Ruth Jacobs, Rajmond Goodrich, Milton Lee, Harry Burrows, Edward Oos, Betty Gibl , Mildred VYcrlcnick, George Braham, Dwight Sailor, Mary Feninger, Charles Sharp, Jcanette Rob- inson, Helen Robinson, L. C. Bradford, Law- rence Thompson, Philip Redford, Donald Halladay, Thelma Pearce, Loris Winn, Carola Downer, Doris Thomason, Loran Richey, Max Weber, Lawrence Houchin, Betty Callahan, Esther Jorgenson, Elizabeth Peery, Margaret Johnson, Harold Nelson, Vincent Henry, Sam- uel Knight, George Sanders, Cottrcll Henry, Pauline Oos, Donald Bonser, Edwin Slate, Robert Slater and Marjorie Lynch. One-fourth credit is given to each member for a semester ' s work in the orchestra. 56 - --,.- , „e ' ' - c=t- -c, L ' lf-t The Girls League 4 VERY girl ill North Central is in- cluded in the Girls ' League and has for her creed the following : As a member of the Girls ' League of orth Central High School, I be- lieve that I should be Honest and just with myself and others, Courageous and truthful in word and deed, Faithful to any trust reposed in me, Unselfish in service. Appreciative of what is done for me. Cheerful and courteous in manner, Strong, clean and wholesome in body. Unwavering in my allegiance to The highest interests of all girls and women And to my own best self, that 1 may respect myself and earn the respect of others. Organized for the purpose of helping each girl in school develop her especial talents, the Girls ' League of North Central has adopted the creed which you see above. It is a just representation of the ideals and ambitions of every one of the eleven hundred members of the Leagjue, and has always been faithfully observed by them. The League motto, Honor, Service, Loyal- ty, is exemplified by the League emblem. Honor is shown by the head of a young girl, service, by the Red Cross flag and loyalty, by the American flag. Honor awards made in the form of the emblem are given to the girls who make places on the Girls ' League honor roll. Bronze pins are given to girls on the roll for two times, silver ones for four times, gold ones for six times and gold pins set with a ruby for those girls who have been on eight semesters. Honorable mention is given to girls who gain places on the roll alternate limes. Requirements for attaining the honor roll are work in the League, a minimum of ten points, at least C in all subjects, including gjm, observance of the dress standards and high ideals expressed in conduct. The general activities of the League are divided into five departments. Each depart- ment has a student head and a faculty advisor and is divided into committees. The object of the League is to develop, j through co-operative activities involving all girls in school, a broad group sympathy and fellowship and an active loyalty to the highest interests of the school, the community, and the nation. In order to do this, each girl must be reached personally, through one of the five departments. With the five general divisions, namely, the entertainment, vocation- al, social service, personal efficiency and room representative departments, the influence of the League is felt outside as well as inside the school. ' cra Plath, vice president of the League is in charge of the fifth department, which was organized as a separate group about a year ago. The girls in every first period class elect one of their number to be a room repre- sentative. These 60 representatives meet and elect a chairman and a sub-chairman for each of the four floors. These eight girls then automatically become members of the Central Council, which is the governing body of the League. The room representatives conduct all drives of the League, among them the Red Cross, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Central Council meets every two weeks. It is composed of the four general officers, the heads of the four departments, chairmen and sub-chairmen of the room representatives, chairman of the dress standards committee, big sister chairman and the faculty advisors. The council conducts elections, cares for all funds, manages the dress standards, promotes high standards of scholarship and conducts and supervises the League honor roll. This semester Martha Schoening is president of the League, Lillian Edlund is secretary and Betty Campbell is treasurer. No account of the activities of the League could be complete without mention of the guiding factor and advisor. Miss Jessie E. Gibson has been director of the organization from the beginning, and it is largely due to her work that the League was formed and has reached the prominence it has throughout the country. S7 The Boys Federation AVIXCi liecii organized for the pur- pose of promoting cooperative activ- ities of interest to and involving all boys of the school, the Boys ' Feder- ation has for eight years been the sole governing unit through which the boys may express an active loyalty to the highest interests of North Central and the surrounding community. The P ' ederalion was started during the lat- ter part of the World War and its original purpose was to help our boys to meet the obligations of their country in time of war The Federation then took part in such drives as the Red Cross, thrift, war savings and special relief, and also in putting on parades and demonstrations. Bob Irvine was the first president. Since then there have been thirteen boys who received that honor. Immediately after the war, however, the Boys ' Federation was reorganized on a new- basis and with a new purpose. The new con- stitution provided for three departments, the personal service department, the school ser- vice department and the community service department. The heads of these departments together with representatives elected from each separate class, representatibes from each club, a Xews representative, faculty di- rector and the officers made up the executive council. This is the same constitution and system that the Federation has today. Every boy upon entering North Central automatically becomes a member of the Boys ' Federation and he is invited to assist in the many different activities under its scope. The work of the Federation is financed by the assessment of dues amounting to ten cents from every boy and, in addition receives thirty-five per cent of the Pow Wow receipts. The executive council is the administrative body of the Federation and meets iti room 116 every Monday during the sixth period. The president presides over each meeting dur- ing which all current business is transacted and all departmental reports are given. All business relating to the boys of North Central must be first handled Iiy this body; if united action is necessary the measure is referred to all the boys who assemble in convocation for the purpose of considering it. At the beginning of each semester the presi- dent appoints the heads of the three depart- ments subject to the ratification of the coun- cil. It is through these departments that the major portion of the work of the Federation is really accomplished. This year, .Archibald Lyon served as head of the personal service department, Ray Ron- ald as head of the school service department and Ronald Phares, the community service de- partment. Each department is composed of a number of committees and sub-committees of from ten to fifteen members each, the chairmen being appointed by the Iepartment head. Elections are carried on each semester with strictly civic procedure. All boys must be registered before they can vote. Primaries are held and the two receiving the highest num- ber of votes for each office are on the final ballot. To receive nomination for office, a candi- date must have fifty signatures on his petition. As a result of the Leaders ' Conference, it was found that North Central in form of the Bo. s ' Federation had probably the best, most systematic and efficent form of student gov- ernment of any high school in the state. Any information in regard to our Federation has always been in demand by other high schools and at present the system used at North Cen- tral has been adopted by many schools all (■ver the country. Stress has always been laid on efficiency methods, parliamentary procedure, and civic training. It is to Mr. Bradford, boys advisor, that all credit is due for the perpetuation of this systematic organization and the business like methods used in fulfilling its purpose. Officers for this semester are: President, John White ; vice president, Joe Pearson ; clerk, Langford . ' rmstrong; and treasurer, Howard Pearcc. 58 The Pow Wow POW wow MANAGEMENT Joe Pearson Manager Curtis Stone Construction Katherine Lawson Assistant Manager Blanche Fridc Decoration Marjorie Weber Shows and Booths La Verne Rhodes .. ' Tickets Kenneth Davis Banking The greatest high school student enterprise of its kind in the Northwest, now known as the Pow Wow, was held on the evening of November 19 for the seventh consecutive year. Although previous years of this project had exceeded all expectation, this year ' s Pow Wow was the greatest of all. It is estimated that 3500 people attended the affair and the gros. receipts were $1474.66. Thirty per cent of th profits, which amounted to $850.34, was retained by the twenty-five concessions, the other seventy per cent being divided equally between the Girls ' League and the Boys ' Federation. Approximately 300 students were actively engaged in Pow Wow work. The management this year consisted of Joe Pearson, manager; Katherine Lawson, assistant; Curtis Stone, construction; Marjorie Weber, shows; Ken- neth Davis, finance; Lang Armstrong, pub- licity; Blanche Fridc, decoration; Laverne Rhodes, tickets. The faculty directors were Miss Jessie Gibson and Mr. Lowell C Brad- ford. One of the most distinctive features of this year ' s enterprise is the new nomenclature. The name was changed from Pep Carnival to Pow Wow and the medium of exchange was wamps instead of peps as heretofore. The former name. Pep Carnival Queen, was also changed to Pow ' 0w Princess, and the occu- pant of this office will be known as Princess Worr-worr-wa. The Pow Wow Princess this year was elected by the entire student body. Miss Ger- aldine Warren was chosen from a list of ten girls, who had previously been nominated by petition.

This organization comprises the supreme governing body of the school by combining the leaders of the boys ' and girls ' groups. The activities of this body are divided into three parts : Philanthropy, Pow V ' o v and school projects. They recommend any measures seeming necessary to school clubs and carry out any plans made by the students as a whole. Outstanding as a philanthropic enterprise this semester, was the provision of a complete Christmas for the orphans of the Spokane Children ' s Home. This work is done through a committee in the League and one in the Federation. Each orphan is interviewed, and all or as many as possible of his reasonable requests for presents are granted. A tree is provided, also an abundance of candy and nuts and a program is given at the home the day before Christmas. The Associated Student Councils promote other activities of interest to the whole school, such as the purchase of a school victory flag, the adoption of a uniform pin for senior classes also the appointing of improvement and handbook committees. This semester the coinicil voted to adopt a regulation sweater for North Central students. A standard Indian head was decided upon, which would sym- bolize the school Indian. .All appointments to the Student Conduct Board are ratified by the coimcil. Also, can- didates for the .Athletic Board arc nominated by them. The Pow Wows held annually on the night before the football game with L ewis and Clark to arouse enthusiasm and to raise money. This is under the direct supervision of the council. The Associated Student Councils meet every other Tuesday morning and have for ad- visors, Mr. Lowell C. Bradford and Miss Jessie E. Gibson. Howard Pearce is president of the councils this semester, Ardith Mellinger is vice president and Dorothy Crane, secretary. 62 Student Conduct Board In order to further the plan of democratic student government in North Central and to relieve the faculty of student control and dis- cipline, the plan of a Student Conduct Board was adopted in 1921 after a closed ballot re- ferendum of the entire student body had car- ried at the ratio of 17 to 1. The Student Conduct Board now consists of five members who act as a commission, having both indiv idual and collective duties. Three commissioners for the halls, convocations and library, a secretary and a president constitute the entire board. The library, convocation and traffic com- missioners suggest rules, appoint and super- vise deputies, receive reports of offending students and investigate special cases in their respective departments. The president pro- nounces sentences and oversees work. The secretary issues notices, keeps records, and re- ceives commissioners ' reports. Collectively, the board makes rules, decides cases of appeal from the president ' s decisions and ratifies ap- pointments. The board with Miss Gibson and Mr. Brad- ford, faculty directors, meets every Monday to discuss problems of order, transact business and try cases of misconduct. The president and traffic commissioner arc appointed by the president of the Boys ' Federation with the con- sent of the Associated Student Councils. Two other commissioners are appointed by the pres- ident of the Girls ' League while the secretary is elected. I Offending students are asked by deputies to sign cards indicating the offense. If the ac- cused desire to appear before the weekly meetings of the board, they may argue their cases, otherwise they receive automatic sen- tences appropriate to the offense. The term of office for all members is for one year. Only students of junior or senior ranking are eligible to hold any office on the board Officers for this term arc: President, Glenn Cross; library commissioner, Charlotte Frec- 1)org; convocation commissioner, Marjorie Weber; traffic commissioner, Curtis Stone, and secretary, Helen Doyle.

Win- ning the championships, coupled with the fact that dope was upset in every contest marked this term as being one of the most successful ever for the Indians. Starling out the season with few veterans hut with an unlimited amount of spirit and determination, the Red and T51aok racqnctee: s first won the girls ' tennis championship dc- fcatin.g the Lewis and Clark bunch, ten sets to nine. In the ne.xt intcrschool sport, the Indian ruinicrs scalped the Tigers in the annual cross country run to the tune of 31 to 24. As a fitting climax to previous hard fought victories, the North Side warriors stepped out again to upset the dope and win the city foot- ball championship from Lewis and Clark, 21 to 14, thus winning all of the inter-high sports for the season. Three times have we fought and fought hard, and three times has the final score been close and threatened, but each time we have won and won fairly because it was the mani- festation of that North Central spirit on the part of everyone which won for old N. C. 4 Football . Rl-VIKW Ol ' THK Skaso.v Losing but one game throughout the entire season, and that as a direct result of breaks, North Central had one of the most successful seasons that the school has ever enjoyed in football. The team, with several inexperience(t men in the line-up, started the season slowly, but gradually gathered impetus as the games passed and in the final two contests, with Yakima and L. C, played like veterans with a steady consistent attack and defense. At the first of the season fumbles were frequent and occasional ragged play marrea the performance of the Indian line-up, but under the tutelage of Coach Zimmerman the team gradually rounded into form. The sea- son, ending with the spectacular defeat ot Lewis and Clark, was decidedly successful. Of the twenty-three letlcrmcn of this year, only nine will be lost by graduation. These men are : Captain Schulthess, Pritchard, Stocker, Stephens, McBean, Mengle, Reese, Anderson and Nance. The loss of these men will be severely felt as they are all capable of good football, but there are many more good men coming up to take their places. Till-: S. N ' i)PoiNT G. . iK With only six days of practice, the Indians started off the 1926 season with a bang by defeating Sandpoint 20 to 0. Although the play was somewhat ragged, the team showed flashes of real power and fight. Dahlen was the outstanding star of the game, making long runs for touchdowns. The Idaho men seemed unable to solve the Indian attack and at few times were the Redmen held for downs. Tmc Coi.vii.LK Gamk In this game the North Central gridders .showed a great improvement over their play- ing in the first contest. The line showed espe- cial fight and ability in solving the plays of their lighter opponents. Most of the Colville plays were stopped before they got fairly- started. Outstanding players in the line were Dech and Soike, although the whole line functioned well. The entire squad of eighteen players who took the trip were used in the game. Dahlen was the back field star, making sev- eral long runs. Usually the ball was advanced l)y long runs to scoring distance and then the pigskin was ljucked over, Colburn usually carrying the ball. The final score of 34 to 0 was indicative of the comparative strength of the teams. Thk Lkwiston Game . fler a two weeks rest from the Colville battle, the Indians defeated Lcwiston in the first game of the season by a 19 to 0 score. Dahlcn and Colburn of the North Central backfield were the luminaries of the contest. Potter, colored halfback of the Idaho aggrega- tion, played well for his team. Th.k W ai.la W ai.la Gamk On the following week the Rcdmen jour- neyed to Walla Walla and lost a slipper -, muddy game featured by breaks and ending in the close score of 15 to 13. The W ' a-Hi field had been turned into a slippery mess by a steady dowtipour of rain and fumbles were frequent throughout the battle. North Central led their opponents in total yardage gained, but Walla Walla ' s ability to take advantage of (he breaks led to their victory. Penalties totaling nearly 100 yards also led to the down- fall of the Indians. Colburn ' s line plunges netted large gains throughout the game and many times when he had bucked the ball al- most to the goal it was lost by a fumble. In the last minute of play. North Central had a chance to win by one point via the kick goal route when by a series of fast line bucks the ball was advanced to Wa-Hi ' s 36-yard line. Then with but forty seconds to go, Pritchard dropped back to kick. The ball missed the posts by a couple of inches. The game ended, a two point margin victorv for Walla Walla. Thk Hili.yari) Gamk In the next game of the season North Cen- tral pulled out a 27 to 0 victory over the Hill- yard Panthers. The Indians passed their way to victory over the lighter Panthers, although the Hillyard players fought well and charged vici ously. The game was marred by frequent fumbles on the part of the North Central backfield. Seventeen of them on the part of the Redmcn kept the score down and prevented the Indians from several imminent scores. The North Central line charged well and the backfield play was brilliant, although not consistent. Thk Gonzac.a Gamk Rallying late in the second half, North Cen- tral put the Gonzaga Bullpups to route in the Gonzaga stadium, for a while it looked as if ihe Indians were going to be defeated as the Bullpups got the jump and at the half they had the score 19 to 13 in their favor. In the second half the North Siders un- leashed an attack of straight football inter- mingled with passes. They finally overcame the heavy lead of the Irishmen and fought their way to a 30 to 19 victory. Thk Yakima Ga.mk .After they had been doped to lose by a fourteen point margin. North Central played its best game of the season to defeat the strong Yakima team by a score of 35 to 0. Playing straight football throughout the entire battle, the Indians made seventeen first downs as compared to the Pirates ' three and at no time throughout the entire contest did the Yakima bunch threaten to score. Thk Lkwis and Clark Gamk Unleashing a iriving attack which was un- stoppable, North Central defeated Lewis anJ Clark in the city championship battle by a 21 to 14 score. The Indians upset all the ad- vance dope by defeating their opponents, for the Tigers had been conceded an easy victory l)y the dopestcrs. As in past years, the fight- ing spirit counted more than experience, weight and dope and so North Central was victorious. All the scoring was done during the first half, and all the touchdowns were piled up in record time. Fumbles, long runs, brilliant passes and line plunges were the most impor- tant factors in the scoring. During the second half North Central slow- ed up by the loss of Schulthess, played a largely defensive game. The only thrill of the half occurred when the Indians halted the seventy-yard march of the Tigers on the one yard line. In the four plays preceding this, the South Siders had made only three yards in fmn- downs. North Central punted out of danger and the battle ended a moment later. It was the most brilliant game of the season for North Central and the final score Vk ' as indicative of the strength of the two teams. Soike and Dahlen were the indivdual stars of the game. 78 The Tribe I d v j A P T . I Soliullhcss was one of the Ij l outstandiiiK players of the season. tSjC13i His brilliant running, passing and kicking served lo make him one of the most feared high school triple- threat men in the city. He accounted for much of the ground gained the Indians lhr( ughoiit the season. His inspirational plaxing won for liiin the Delta honor award at the end of the season. Mentor Dahlen was the outstanding hack- field star for the North Central gang this fall. His aggressiveness and ability to sense and spoil opponents ' plays were alone enough to make him a star. In addition to these quali- ties, his place-kicking was of collegiate caliber. Dahlen ' s I)rilliant playing warranted coaches voting him as a unanimous choice for all city halfback. In Leonard Soike North Central has un- doubtedly one of the best, if not the best high school center in the state. His defensive pla was phenomenal throughout the season and on offense he could be relied upon to open a hole and pass the ball well. This is the second xear that vSoike has been placed upoti the mjthical all city team. Soike w ' ill be back for more next year. Harold Wilson shared the fullback honors with Stanley Colburn. Wilson ' s defensive game was excellent and his line plunging was of a high grade. He could always be de- pended upon lo detect plays and spoil them before they got well started. Wilson will be ready to play again next year. . Louis Stevens, pla ing his first season, made a name for himself as a speedy right end. He did much to stop the completion of plays by opponents. (Ci ' iiliitiicil oil l aijr 03j Cross Country In a hard fought race North Central won the animal cross-country run from Lewis and Clark by the close score of 24 lo 31. Time of the race was 7:27.1. Johnson, N. C, led ihe field at the start of the race and broke the wind for the rest of the runners for three-fourths of the race. Wiedman, L. C. emerged ahead. White, N.

The meet was the closest ever held and not until the last match was played, could either side claim the long end of the score. Three days were required to complete the tournament, the first part being played on October 4 and 5, when the North Side girls were successful in downing their opponents by a 10 to 9 score. A singles and a doubles match remained for the third day of play, when honors were divided between the two schools. The new plan of allowing each girl to play two matches proved very successful as it gave the players a better opportunity to show their ability. Doris Kennedy was appointed captain of the team for the coming year by Miss Elsa M. Pinkham, coach, to succeed Rhoda Mahoney. Judge (to Joe Hove) : Life! Joe : Huzzah !

McCannon Some of the Wallamets, like the Chinooks, practice canoe burial A Romance of Indian Oregon, by F. H. Balch The historical background for this poem is taken from The Bridge of the Gods, written by K. II. Balch. Indian life and character have long been a favorite study with Mr. Balch, and he tells of their religious beliefs and legends as he learned them from the Indians near his boyhood home on the I ' pper Columbia. As twilight deepened into evening. To the hanks of mighty Wcmath, Moved a woeful hand of mourners, Tribesmen of the great Wallamets, Leaders of the Valley Wauna, Leaders of all Valley peoples ; Mournfully they moved in silence Till they reached the rushing waters, Halted there in patient waiting, Gazing long at their loved chieftain. Like a pine tree tall and stately, Bronzed and painted, grave and saddened. Pride of all the Wauna nations — Stood the great chief, Wa-sa-ma-ca, Stood among his braves and maidens, Stood with them and with them sorrowed ; For the fairest maid among them, Fairest maid of all the nations, Fair one whom they called Cbe-Aquab Lay upon the bier before them, Lay in darkness ere the moon rose. Never more would that still figure Gather berries in the Big Wood, In the Big Wood by the river; Never more would join the dancers As they danced the dance of maidens, Danced it in the festal seasons; Never more would play her reed flute; Charm the birds, the squirrels, the fireflies As they played about the wigwam ; Never more would gather faggots; Sing, the while she carried water From the clear spring to the wigwam; Never more would tend the wigwams Of her father Wa-sa-ma-ca. Shadows gathered ' round the watchers, Black clouds scuttled o ' er the river; Fast they flew and still flew faster, ' Till the moon rose o ' er the mountain; Rose and touched that gloomy cavern With a soft light as of dawning, Touched the figure on the death-bed, Touched the brow of Pine Trees ' Voices; Kissed her then and said farewell, As it passed behind a cloudbank. Silently the grave-faced watchers Gazed upon the lovely princess, Gazed at her in all her beauty Gazed and loved her for her sweetness. Then the great chief Wa-sa-ma-ca Gave a signal to the young braves, Signaled, now to bring them forward. JJ Others lifted high the death-bed, Bore it to the rapid waters. Bore it swiftly; left it floating In the barge that waited for it. Next the torches that were lighted From the fire upon the Black Rock, Kindled those within the black hargc, Caused them all to flame up brightly. Then the chief in supplication. Raised his arms up toward the Heavens; Prayed unto the Manitoba, Called on him to guide the soul- flower Of the Indian maid, his daughter. From the banks the black barge drifted, Drifted ' till the current caught it, Bore it swiftly on its journey. Passively her people watched her, All concealing tears and sorrow, All concealing hearts of sadness; Watched her ' till the black barge vanished, Vanished ' round the bend before them. Then the death-cry of the nation Rose from every kinsman present ; Everywhere were those lamenting, Weeping for their much loved princess; Loudly through the Big Woods trembled Voices of a saddened nation, Death-cry of the great Wallamets, Death-wail of Che-Aquah ' s people. 12 SENIORS Sterling S.

The forests were anxiously waiting to change their verdant green foliage to gold and crimson. The birds were waiting nervously for the signal to fly south- ward. The whole world seemed waiting. The Indians all over the country were mak- ing hurried preparations for the grand coun- cils. Finally, with the coming of the sixth sun, all tribes pressed into long, smoked filled council lodges. There was one group, part of a Northern tribe, younger and fairer than the rest, gath- ered around a tall chieftain in a certain vil- lage. They were listening with eager, rapt at- tention to the words of this man. He told them of the four steps of their journey. He told them of strange customs and laws to which they must adapt themselves. He admon- ished them to be brave, to follow in the foot steps of their ancestors and to be, above all, loyal to their tribe. As they stepped forth from the lodge, there was not one head that was not held high. Each eye glowed with the anticipation of vic- tory. These were brave young Indians; yet there were many almost insurmountable bar- riers to scale, and there were many battles to fight. The greatest battle to be remem- bered in the first lap was that with the tribe, Inferiority. However, only one or two of their number were lost, and at the end of twelve moons, the young braves had attained the coveted goal, the tent of Chief Sophomore. They now began the second lap of their journey. Again they felt the exultant feel- ing of the enterprising. This part of the journey was harder than the first and began to fortell the hardships that were to come in the future. In the battles with biology, Latin and geometry, quite a few lay slain on the field. Undaunted, though, the tribe went on rejoicing, and at the end of the second twelve moons, they came in sight of the fires of Chief Junior. The warriors were successful and they knew their strength. However, they grew indif- ferent and started on the third lap of their journey with no great deal of enthusiasm. The ensuing battles of trigonometry, physics and history almost vanquished the brave group. Many were lost in the dreadful massacres. Nevertheless there were a few that over- came the hardships and staggered on until they came to the lodge of Chief Senior. Here they rested for three moons ; then at the end of the third twelve moons, they called a great council meeting. An old revered medicine-man bade them choose from their number a young chieftain to lead the largest tribe of all times through the last lap of the journey. The warriors recognized his wisdom and heeded his advice, just as their older tribe brothers had done before them. At this time, the campfircs blazed high. Tomahawks glittered where the peace pipe should have been. The blood of the young warriors became heated. Once more the wise medicine-man spoke. Out of chaos came peace and quiet. After much deliberation, the tribe chose a young princess to lead them. It had been many decades since a princess had held this position ; yet Princess Mary quickly gathered her forces about her and started with new vigor on the last lap of the journey. This time the medicine-man accompanied the group. It struggled on and conquered the ever-watchful tribe, Sophistication. Some of the hardest battles were with chemistry, so- ciology and psychology. In the near distance, they saw the shining peak of Graduation. New hopes arose and many a weary brave was in- spired and pushed on by the sight of that majestic mountain. In less than six moons, the fight with minor tribes was over and the victory was won. At last came the great day. The summit of all aspirations had been reached. The con- quering tribe stood before the Great Chief- tain. They were in the last grand council. The earnest- faced braves again sat with solemn faces and rapt expression, listening to the advice of a tall medicine-man. This time 10 he repeated their own victories. Morever, he told them of the greater battle they were go- ing into. He explained how each chieftain would have to fight alone in the Rattle of Life. When each warrior had received his feath- ers and heads, there arose a great farewell war whoop which shall live forever in the hearts of those that were there. Even in the victorious throngs, there was an unmistakable sadness in the last song they chanted together. In the silence that fol- lowed that song, each brave ' s thoughts were centered on bygone days. They had been loyal, they had fought side by side, and then they had to part. • Glass Prophecy N 1960, thirty-three years after we had conducted a ring and pin sale for the graduating class, we felt certain that a journey around the world would be the wisest and most satisfactory way of spending this money (meaning ring and pin money). As a first means toward fulfilling that ambition, we visited the Hoffman-Davis Fac- tory of Mechanical Appliances, thinking that here we might find some device by which we could reach Europe within two hours. We were indeed surprised to hear Beryl and Boo explaining how, by turning wheel R thirty- six degrees toward the door and pulling lever H five notches toward the window, one might kill any fly living, within two minutes time. Bculah startled us further when she said that if sugar were placed on the machine, the fly would be tempted to remain for the necessary time to seal his doom. A grouchy fat man, addressed as Chester Griffith, al- though he complained of the high price of sugar, seemed much taken up with the ma- chine. When he placed his order for fifteen machines, he explained demurely that he wanted them installed in the various rooms of fifteen offspring. After Beryl had led us through a room filled with machines, a recent invention of Philip Red ford, which dobbed cosmetics on the face of a woman so well that even her best friends wouldn ' t recognize her, we en- tered a room filled with appliances which, when attached to one ' s body, allowed one to fly like a mourning dove. This machine was also the invention of Philip Redford who had al- ways enjoyed heavenly objects. We, of course, were delighted and purchased three of the said machines. After much struggling, we succeeded in fastening these devices to our bodies and after running down a hillside finally glided into the air. , After we had passed over N ' ew York harbor and the tall buildings of the metropolis were quickly leaving our view, we really felt at peace with the world, as we drifed above the briny blue of the Atlantic. That strong masterly feeling left us, however, when my machine started to sputter around and I felt sure that I would break the record which I had supported for fifty years, namely that custom of the Saturday night bath. With the aid of the remaining two thirds of the prophecy committee, I finally reached an island which, though very small, appeared in- teresting enough. Our appetites, which had always been good enough, led to an exploration of this place for the sake of obtaining food. We were most certainly surprised when, emerging from a group of trees, we found a small hut, sur- rounded by a hedge of brown-eyed susans. Sitting on the porch was an old woman who smiled sweetly and murmured endearing words to a pig which sat loyally by her chair. Thinking that this woman would be very kind- hearted, we walked toward the house. She really treated us very well, although she did seem shocked by our apparel. Wc told her that over on the mainland even the most prominent citizens wore this type of dress, which was nothing more than clever butter- 41 fly costumes made from the fuzz of dande- lion seeds. We further explained that an in- ventor. Arthur Sherman in name, had dis- covered this new use for dandelions and that as this form of dress was attractive and com- fortable, it had come to be very popular. She seemed much interested and when we mentioned the noted Mr. Sherman ' s name, she softly gasped and said that she had been grad- uated with a hoy named Sherman, and won- dered if by any chance it was the one and the same person. We told her of our previous ac- quaintance and mentioned that he had grad- uated from North Central. At this startling announcement she smiled sadly and robbed her wrinkled hands together. Then she near- ly killed the three of us when she proclaimed in a feeble oice that she was Mary Tuttle and had graduated with us in 1027. We were overjoyed at meeting Mary and she felt even happier in meeting us. We explained to her all the advancements and changes that had taken place on the earth and she, in turn, explained how she had married a fisherman and had come to live on the island. Her life had been a sad one as her old rival, Dorothy Crane, had swum out to the island one day and taken Mary ' s husband back to land with her. We bestowed our sincere sym- pathy upon her and then asked how we could possibly get to Europe. She said that the Phares-Rhodes steamship was not at all de- pendable, but sometimes visited the island and was due in about two days. We remem- bered the former traits of our school friends, Ronald and Laverne, and realized the cause for this. Contrary to even our Ixddest expectations, a ship did arrive on the following day and, overjoyed, we departed for Europe. After we had given over the remnants of our equipment to two freckled but neat ap- pearing men, none other than lack N ' ancc and George Stocker, we took a stroll around the deck. When we did not offer to tip them, they looked discouraged and disappointed. We proceeded along the deck and were sur- prised at seeing a large crowd looking at some common object. The other spectators informed us that a prayer meeting was the object of interest. We, of course, asked the other spectators who the two people conduct- ing the prayer meeting were. They informed us that the two concerned were missionaries to China and that they were Marian Smith and Vernon Mowbray in name. The names sounded familiar and as soon as the mission- aries revealed their pius faces we recognized our old friends. However, not wishing to lose any more of the Sartori and Wolff money we slunk out before the collection was taken. Evidently there was a great demand for Sartori and Wolff money, for a man on the boat actually expected us to pay our way across. Immediately, filled with righteous in- dignation, we sought out a life boat with the intention of returning to the United States. Great was our surprise upon removing the canvas to find Mary Feninger parked within. Overjoyed to be w : ith our president again, we let her row us ashore in the lifeboat. The first thing that greeted our eyes was an imprint in the sand of the beach, evidently the mark made by a boat. Wc noticed sev- eral more farther inland and following the tracks, found Archibald Lyon on his knees in front of the queen of the Zulus, Thclma Pearce. The picturesqucness of the situation evidently appealed to our president for she refused to accompany us further as she wished to dance in the wedding procession of her two school friends. Not wishing to disturb this romance, we conducted ourselves to the shore where we saw the war canoe of our friend Archie. Thinking that he would have no further use for it since he had found his queen, we ap- propriated it, as a means of continuing our journey. After drifting over the depths for several days, wc entered Port Valencia. In- tense hunger led us to a joint which, although very unkempt, poured forth the odor of chili con came. We braved the hoards of cock- roaches and went in to surround some of Dave Kaye ' s chili. Rumor had brought to us the fact that Dave ' s chili was the hottest in the world, and as we entered the parlor we believed it, for standing near the pot of cook- ing chili stood Mary G. Hinton pouring pep- per as fast as possible. While we downed the soup as well as could be expected, Ville Safford, arrayed in a short red satin dress and Gordon Lower in a charming black out- fit and wide hat danced the tango. After enjoying (?) this feast, wc tried to sneak out without paying. When Milton Andrews tried to impede our progress, we just swept him aside into an empty cuspidor. We saw outside someone who was endea- voring to pick up a cigar stub. The former characteristics, those of economical, thrifty 42 and miserly tendencies recalled themselves to our minds and looking down to the crafty one, we saw Helen B. Hazen. She seemed very old and disheartened and our charitable natures almost forced us to give her another shekel from the ring and pin money. How- ever, we decided to inquire beforehand as to why she had taken such a lowly position in life. She said that her husband, Joe Fay, had not l ecn so successful in business as he might have been. He occupied the position of dragger-out of bulls at the local arena. Since Willard Bungay, dapper young matador, had not thrown the bull for two weeks, the finan- ces of the Fay household were rather low. We gave them a lot of sympathy and went down to inspect the jail where we found Ei- nar Hove, peering through the bars, and heap- ing maledictions on the heads of mankind in general. The former basketball star had just been convicted on a charge of murder. He had just exterminated Everett Ruelle, weal- thy retired owner of the largest garlic farm in Alaska. We later found Mildred Wiggs, Worth Oswald and Blanche Morgan, the old author of the class will, who were now en- gaged in distributing the ties and socks of ir tr-jry ITTIWi and iH.nd.Miiu in OUT t - rS K ' pics, we, the tribe of X. C. Indian ' .«J, ; ' .radnalr-., bring of sailind mind and memory, feci that the time is draw- ifigl ing near when wc shall be forced ' ' I to leave our burdens and trivial pos- sessions, if any, to our young but capable suc- cessors; namely, those unfortunates who have not yet achieved the high rank and title of a senior A. We trust said heirs will appreciate all offerings. Chief Baby Face Hyslop wills to Francis Eufkin his athletic ability. Francis is bound to be an all-city champ before he knows it. We feel obligated to leave Jrie Binnard ' s unusual shyness to someone, and Mildred Mar- tin seems to be the best prospect. Be cautious, Mildred! Chuck Devise is leaving all his sarcastic the deceased. When we did not receive even one sock, we departed for Rome. There we found Evelyn Dralle, Adaliuc Endslow, Mil- dred Carr, Augusta Rohrback, Ed Reese and Harold Ostrauder, who were digging up the relics of the Roman baths and churches. As we were all much interested in such lines and knew we could have an exciting time with Jo McCallum as foreman of the crew, we de- cided to remain there until vvc could obtain enough money to allow us to travel back to our homes at Spangle. We dug in a good place and were rewarded for our efforts when we discovered a large Siamese waffle iron, a relic of the fifteenth century. We immediately sold it and realized enough from the sale to pay for our tickets back to the United States. Wc embarked for America at once. As we sat on the deck, languidly tossing food to the sharks, we meditated upon the injustices thaj we had done our former classmates. The shades of old age still find us in deep meditation. Ruthe Trivers Bob Poole Chuck Devine remarks in room 212. We think perhaps Miss Dcane might be able to find a place for them. If not, Linn Cowgill says she would be glad to take charge of them. Roy Fait requests that we leave his unac- counted-for popularity among the fair sex to Jim Todd. According to Roy, all the fellows at the U are doing it. That little shark of an add-collector, Ella Aune, leaves her talent along newspaper lines to Harold Smotherman. The owner of the sweetest disposition in N. C, Jo McCallum, leaves said amiable dis- position to Virginia Maguire. Xo reflec- tions cast, Virginia. We are willing to leave Phil Redford ' s ability to play foot notes on the shoe horn to Johnny McCullough. You ' ll be a second Sousa yet, Johnny. 4 Glass mil 43 Rhea Maloncy dares any lower classman lo pull the Rags that she put across regularly in Mr. Endslow ' s class, preferably, Jack Snod- grass. Feeling capable, Jack? We hear our senior president is fond of riding hand-cars. Mary Fcninger leaves her ability along these lines to anyone who wants a good workout now and then. Mildred Wiggs requests that her Roy be put in a glass cage — we suppose this is for the benefit of some of these promising young sophomore maidens . Lillian Lawrence would like to leave her dancing technique to Frances Farmer. Looks like a very promising future for you, Frances. We leave Princess Karkau ' s great affinity for chewing gum to Miss Bacon. Wait a minute— we just asked Gretchen about it, and she says she would rather leave Harold than she would her gum. Einar Hove wills his ability to shoot bas- kets from the 10-yard line to anyone who feels capable. He says he ' s willing to leave that, as he still has Evelyn. Sterling Taylor leaves his ambition to be- come one of the world ' s greatest statesmen to Leonard Foster. We ' re wondering what Leonard will do with it. Lewis Stevens bequeaths his cast-iron drag with Miss Dcane to most any promising young junior, or possibly a senior B. As a special request, Stanley Colburn is left to any girl who wishes to play Lillums to a Harold Teen during football season. Beryl Davis informs us that Stan is very well ac- complished along these lines. We wonder who in the world is going to be able to put across a Vox con next year, and make it as huge a success as Mary Tuttle made it this year. It ' ll certainly have to be someone who has initiative and pep. (Mary didn ' t pay us to put this in, either.) Well, well, we almost forgot Beulah Hoff- man. Let ' s see, her Ralphic was graduated last time, so she can ' t leave him. Maybe she ' d agree to leave some of her good looking clothes to Ruth Peyton. Elhlyn Churchill leaves her cleverness at tickling the ivories to none less than our accomplished and well-known Marjorie Lynch. We are informed that Oscar Nordquist is quite the potent person when it comes to dra- matic art. We should like to leave his talent in regard to said art to Billy Ross. Willard Bungay requests that his dancing ability be left to Betty Slee. We know Betty will appreciate it. To Castle Bradcen is bequeathed Worth Os- wald ' s ability to swing a wicked tennis racket. Since Eunice Erickson has the prettiest red hair in school, we feel that it is only just that she will it to someone. Marjorie Beaton in- forms us that she would be only too glad to get it. Art Sherman leaves his unusual mathema- tical ability to Ivar Highberg. Won ' t Ivar be tickled to death? And, of course, the will just wouldn ' t be complete unless we let Johnny Shoufler leave that noisy sweater of his to someone. If Simon Turnley has a fondness for studies in black and white, we think maybe he ' d be a candidate for it. Helen Hazen leaves those great big eyes of hers to Lois Brown. On second thought, it ' s a good policy to take one ' s eyes with one, especially if they ' re like Helen ' s. Joe Fay, with tears and regrets, sobbingly tells us that we must leave his Opal to some capable person. Maybe we ' ll have to use the glass cage method. Before signing off definitely, we should like to put in a word or two for a few of our worthy faculty, to Mr. Strcitcr, we leave all old erasers, and unfinished work. To Mrs. Cowley, any True Story magazines that may be found in the various lockers. To Miss Grcenberg a few shekels for the playfield. Yes, we ' ve been chewing gum again. Well, farewell loved cohorts and worthy fellow sufferers, don ' t miss us too much. We ' ll give you a treat now and then by coming over and looking over the Alma Mater once in a while.

PINKHAM, to whom this Tamarack is dedicated, came to North Central in 1918. Few girls reali e how much they owe her. When Miss Pinkham came here eight years ago, a most discouraging sight met her eye. She had just come from a school in Tacoma where the girls had a gym, swimming tank and tennis courts all to themselves. At North Central, the tank was just under construction, only freshmen took gym and classes were al- ternated with the boys ' classes. Miss Pinkham began to have girls ' sports after school and the girls had their swimming meet with Lewis and Clark. Later the new locker room, dryer and wringer for bathing suits were put in. Miss Pinkham had a hand in getting them placed in the gym department. The girls ' gym office and department is always a busy place and the credit is due to Miss Pinkham. She has done everything pos- sible to make the gym and swimming classes as interesting as possible. The Personal Efficeney department, of which she is the director is one of the larg- est in the League and its enterprises are always successful. May the girls, and boys also, realize how much they owe Miss Pinkham. OUR SYMBOL The Indians who roamed the prairies of the West, living a life of uncivilized, though con- tented simplicity have passed from power as a strong and hardy people. Today the Ind- ian is only a symbol, a monument to the former glory of a vanishing race. A symbol, however, he remains, depicting strength, cour- age and loyalty. Nearly four years have passed since North Central adopted the name Indian for her own. From that time our teams have worked for victory and glory for the Indians; the name has advertised the school. North Central assumed a new duty when she chose as her standard, the American In- dian, for the school must uphold the symbol it adopted. Every team representing North Central, every activity in which the school engages must l e supported with the tenacity 4- of the Indian. The school is a monument to the first people who dwelt upon the land where North Central now stands. Loyalty to the trihe was a phase of life important to the Indian in the past. North Central Indians have been commended for their loyalty or school spirit. Every student, from the most popular senior to the most bathful freshman, has the duty to maintain that loyalty. I ' pon every North Centralite rests the task of upholding the meaning of the symbol, strength, courage and loyalty. 4r HIGHER EDUCATION Education beyond the high school, yes, that which is doing more to raise the standards of living than any other thing today. But a short time ago our colleges and profes- sional schools were small and far between; now large universities and colleges in every state of the union are turning numbers of stu- dents from their doors. You ask why this eagerness for college training. Men and women go to college for the express purpose of gaining special know- cgc for the development of talent. The ad- vantages of academic training are seen clearly through the experiences of a certain young man who, after finishing high school, entered a machine shop as an apprentice. The apprentice worked hard and in due time became a regular machinist at thirty dol- ars a week. As a man he was finally re- warded for his faithfulness to the company by being made head machinist at an increase of ten dollars a week. This position he was, in all probability, to hold until he should reach a pensionable age. The approach of the pen- sion age is usually more dreaded than wel- comed localise the amount paid hardly pro- vides for a very meager existence. The machinist ' s son, however, entered col- lege where he received extensive training in the field of machine designing. Soon he fin- ished his course and secured a position as draftsman in the shop where his father was employed. Here he had worked as a drafts- man only one half the length of time which his parent had served as an apprentice when he was made head designer for the entire shop. Head designers receive three hundred dollars a month and up, the amount depend- ing on the capacity of the shop in which tiny are employed. Here we sec an old man, after a life time of steady labor, toiling over a grimy machine while another man, hardly more than half bib age, perspires less at his day ' s work than at his golf game. The only apparent difference between the two men is the period of special- ized training received by the younger man. In face of such evidence should one hesitate when college is possible ? The designer is paid more than the machin- ist because he knows more, and knowing more he is of greater service to his employer and to civilization. Service, not compensation, is the thing for which we should strive. Yet, one who serves and serves well is invariably compensated in like kind. MEMORIES For the class of June 1927, high school life is drawing to a close. A rosy sun is sinking only too rapidly beyond the horizon of mem- ory. For us, it is too late to change the life we have lived in high school. In a few short weeks the four years spent within the walls of North Central will be only a memory. Yet among the regrets of leaving the school that has meant so much in happiness, in gain- ing power, we have the consolation of golden memories. High school has not been a path of ease. The inevitable tests, laboratory experiments, Latin translations have often proved difficult. Through the routine of study, the rush of extra-curricular activities and the daze of the first year in North Central, the purpose of high school has been, at times, hard to define. At commencement, however, each detail re- solves itself into a niche all its own. High school has l een a step toward progress. Com- mencement is a milestone. Each friendship formed, each lesson well learned, each difficulty overcome has been a step in the progress toward success. Yet dur- ing the four years spent in work and play for North Central, the class of June 1927 became a part of the school. Precious memories ease the hardship of leaving undergraduate life to become a North Central alumnus. Youth will hurry on. Youth may soon forget, but later the poignant events of our high school career will return more sharply outlined with every ' year. Precious memories ! 17 he Sun Qtance Second Prize— Luara Thornton !HE SKY was shot with crimson waves, forerunners of the dawn— the glorious, dewy dawn of midsummer. A fresh, sweet breeze rustled the leaves of the aspen and willow, and the brook sang on its musical way; but in the whisper of the wind, in the tinkle of the laughing waters, there seemed to be a message saying that today was destined to hold some great event. All the Sioux nations were assembled; their tepees formed endless dots on the surface of the grassy plain. The tepees showed signs of life, though the damp dawn had not yet broken. A deer coming to drink at the stream sniffed something unusual in the air and it made him uneasy; he melted into the underbrush and was gone. From a circle in the center of the tepee cluster began to rise the song of the tom- toms. The camps bustled in activity. The day of the great Sun Dance was at hand. In the circle stood many braves, tall, straight, stripped young braves, their faces painted and set with looks of determination behind the Indian ' s customary mask of stolidity. Among the dancers was Anabaga, high caste son of the fearless, warlike chief of fetawn. The tom-toms thumped on. Anabaga ' s eyes lighted ;— near him stood the maid Newah- begga, most fair of Sioux maids. Her eyes — inky black spots— were filled with adoration. She gave him a look which told him volumes, then disappeared in the throng. For the tra- dition said that if Anabaga was victorious in the Sun Dance he could choose the fairest of Sioux daughters for his bride. The sun peeped over the ridge of the hill- top; as the circle became flooded with light, the dancers swung into motion. Each was greedy for the honors of the great dance, each started into the rhythmical swinging of the dance with jealousy in his heart. Each brave had two raw holes in his chest through which was drawn a heavy thong of deer- skin. When he danced and leaped outward, his whole weight fell on the piece of quiver- ing flesh in his chest. The dancers fixed their eyes on the sun, and the tom-toms beat continually. It seemed almost as though the deerskin thongs would tear their way through at once, but the quivering flesh held. The sun climbed higher ; the dance was on in earn- est. When the sun had climbed half way up in the intensely blue sky and the ground was beginning to become unendurably hot, a brave fell exhausted, and was lifted out of the way of the unpausing dancers. Then another and another fell, their chests spouting blood, their eyes glazed and set, their physical strength gone. Then the south wind began to blow, a scorching, enervating wind, like a breath of hell, searing the grass and blistering the earth. Several more braves dropped, then another and another, until in the dance only four be- sides Anabaga remained. The perspiration dried on their bodies from the heat of the wind and still the sun beat down hotter and hotter with unabating heat, as if to wither these pigmy defiers of its majesty. Another brave dropped, his last ounce of strength taken, but Anabaga and his three followers danced on. The sun neared the hill ; in a few hours it would sink, and the great ordeal would be over. Anabaga ' s eyes seemed to burn into his soul, supping his strength and endurance by the excruciating pain they gave him. The last lap. The two braves ahead of him fell and were lifted out of the circle. Anabaga and his rival danced alone. On, on, on, the tom-toms keeping up their never-ending beat, danced the two braves. Anabaga staggered and floundered, but re- gained his footing and went on. His face was set, his eyes glazed and the very core of his soul was sick with the pain he bore. He knew he could not last much longer; his breath was coming in hard choking gasps ; he was about to fall when in his path fell his rival. He stumbled over him, and danced on alone. The great sun was half gone behind the hill ; Anabaga ' s step grew more and more halt- ing, and as the grateful shade swept across the circle, Anabaga ' s thong tore through his flesh and he fell. Xewabegga was his own; he was winner of the Great Sun Dance. 4S Zhon RjS i Helen Stewart Wa-zhin-ska, the chief of the small Indian village, stalked forth into the spring air, clad in his very best. His head-dress dis- played the rainbow colors in its feathers, which were so numerous that they hung down to the ground, and his heavily beaded dress- suit exhibited the hours of work which his squaw had spent in making it. His moc- casins portrayed many wild animals done in beautiful beads. Various strings hung about his neck. With a firm and even step, he went to arouse his lazy companions. The diminutive village was asleep among the elms, under a blanket of gray mist. The birds were singing their time-worn songs as the brook rippled over the smooth rocks. The chief saw the sun ' s sharp arrows grad- ually pierce the mist-blanket and dance play- fully upon the muskrat skins bordering the many tepees. The dew-covered grass lost its luster and took on its day-time complexion. Wa-zhin-ska saw the scanty smoke from the wigwams, lifted upward by the early morning breeze. He was happy. Why shouldn ' t he be? Was not this day to sec his son and heir named? Back in the wigwam the small child was being dressed for this great event which was soon to take place. According to Indian cus- tom, when an offspring becomes four years of age, he is led by his mother to the priest, who gives the young one his tribal name. Thus the son of Wa-zhin-ska was led by his mother, Zit-ka-la-tu, to the tent in which this sacred ceremony was to take place. The boy trembled as he was being led, and, in one hand, carried a pair of new moccasins which the priest was to put on his feet. Venerable man, she said when they at last stood before him, I desire my child to wear moccasins. In the Indian language it meant that she wished her son to become a man. With a bow the priest led him within the wigwam. The young heir saw before him a fire which was burning in the center of the space inside the tent. To the cast of it was placed a large flat stone. The Indian ' s spiritual adviser, with the child beside him, sang an invocation to the Four Winds while they faced the east. When the song was finished, the priest lifted the barefoot lad and placed him on the rock, facing the south. As the Indian boy was turned to the west, then to the north, and finally to the east, he heard the sacred man sing another song in his deep and melodious voice, at the close of which ritual the priest put the new moccasins on the child ' s feet. This act was followed by another song. Here unto you has been spoken the truth ; Because of this truth you shall stand. Here declared is the truth ; here in this place has been shown you the truth. Therefore, arise ! Go forth in its strength ! The bewildered young brave was placed on his feet and told to take four steps to the east, meaning that he was now entering life. Ho ! Ye hills, ye grass, ye trees, ye creep- ing things, both great and small, I bid you hear. This child has thrown away his baby name. Ho! His name is now Hu-ton-ton, which means the Roar of Thunder, pro- claimed the priest. The boy, having received his tribal name, walked from the tent toward the crowd. Wa- zhin-ska stepped forward and lifted his son to his shoulders. My heir, thus spoke the proud father as he gracefully bowed before the cheering aud- ience. In the distance was heard the low rum- ble of thunder. Steadily it drew closer to the village among the elms. The clouds opened and sent forth a great flash. Al- though the sun was shining in the far west, there was a storm overhead. Tis the evil spirits. They do not like the chief ' s son P We will surely die! Such were the ex- clamations from the crowd. Clouds and thun- der were omens of great disaster. A Dumber of the braves knelt and prayed to the evil spirits to take away the dark clouds and the roar of the lion. While Wa-zhin-ska was directing the braves in their appeal for a clear sky, the mystified Hu-ton-ton made his way to the outskirts of the village where stood a tall and august tree. As he had often seen his father kneel here, he, too, knelt. With his small chubby arms he attempted to encircle its huge trunk Sudd enly a great clap of thunder rent the heavens and terror filled the hearts of all. The braves arose and started toward the youth, angered because he seemed to bring misfortune upon them. As they were slowly advancing toward the elm tree, they sudden- ly stopped and pointed upward. A rainbow ! Oh ! A rainbow ! they shouted. That is a good omen. Hail to the chiefs son, the braves said, as they fell upon their knees be- fore him. Thank you, good tree, spoke Hu-ton-ton as he softly patted its rough trunk. The tree whispered its reply in a soft and low- voice as the cool evening breeze wafled through its branches. The l ov was happv. SI owly he returned to camp. The smoke was rising from the many tepees and he could smell the savory foods. Hu-ton-ton saw the big ball of fire in the west smile down upon the village, E-zhon-U- ti, which meant a camp among the elms, as it sent forth its arrows of many hues. The babble of the brook could be distinctly heard as it lazily wended its way past the guard- ing elm tree. Sparks from a c Wigwam The moon of Falling Leaves had come, and they were ready for their dance with the North wind, for Napa had exhausted his paint box. The rugged mountains lay in shadowy outline and the Octof er moon was rising over the great Indian camp — a hun- dred lodges all looking ghostly in the moon- light. A buffalo- wolf skulked to a hill overlook- ing the scene where he stood silhouetted against the sky watching the ever moving shad- ows. A dog yelped at intervals and the eery- sound of a tom-tom accompanying the voice of a singer in the Indian camp strayed aliove the night ' s crooning. The huge painted lodge of Bull- Elk. the medicine man. stood near the center of the camp. The dying fire shadows danced warn- ingly on the walls, but the children pleaded for one more story. Mitchi Manito, the Mighty, He it was who taught the beaver. Gave the owl his coat of feathers. Showed the bear his winter-quarters. And to us gave of his liounty. Men and women, squaw and warrior. Know you then that in the Springtime Fared our forebears forth to worship. Only youth and maiden might go to that sac- red distant mountain. Whence there came that peace and plenty — Far exceeding any other. Yet to those who had not wandered From their campfires glowing ruddy. There was much of wonder, truly. That they came not singing sweetly. Strangely sad and silent, they Always missing from their number one most ! ' taut i ful of all. Slender Birch Tree, Laughing Water, Moo- wee-suck, and Crab Tree Blossom. So it came that Little Beaver, arrior brave and bold was he, only son of the great chieftain. 5 With the merry youths and maidens crossed the plain And entered the forest with the mighty med- icine man. And among them Fah-wcy-ncc-suk, Sighing Wallow, Barely woman, gentle maid, and gentler daughter. And among the youths were spreading Truthful stories of her heauty, of her virtue, faith and duty. To the portals of her heart came, Little Heaver speaking softly, ' Thou art gracious, oh heloved. Yet thou dost not smile upon me ; Make thy heart to love awaken. Sec in me thy future lodge mate; Pot without thee, life is nothing. Oh awake, awake beloved. ' By the shores of Kan-la-wce-na Where the evil spirits dwell, came that laugh- ing, chattering party. And the sluggish water gurgling seemed to gloat on dark forliodings. Dank green were the bending rushes. Rank green were the trees and foliage. Where the sun ' s rays never gleamed through, W here the hrook was never blue, There upon a barren hillside pitched their camp with silent murmurs. Though ' twas daybreak still they stayed there. Wailing for the medicine man, Praying that he give the signal Little Beaver and Fah-wey-nee-suk wandered far from all the others. ' I ill wed thee Little Beaver, Be thy squaw and love thee always, Quite content to give thee homage. ' Then there came that ringing war whoop Signifying war or message. Fast they rati. And took their places ' mid the others on the hank. As with light from underneath. There upon the crested water came a figure, awful, solemn. Piercing eyes ! eneath the war plumes, Solemn, ceremonial robes, Not beheld by any white man, Father of the Indian, he. Then the trembling medicine man, Trembling as from age or sickness, ' Speak, Oh Lord, thy children wait! ' And with grave, majestic gesture Slowly did the figure raise his right hand, Pointed straight at Fah-wey-nee-suk. From the Lord of all creation Turned the mighty medicine man. ' Oh thou chosen of the Father, Blessed beyond all others, thou! Dance we now a sacred measure. Go and don thy richest gown ! ' Stricken stood that gay assembly, Heeding not the Indian tom-toms. For the bride of the Great Spirit Only comes to meet the bridegroom Through the devious ways of death. Like a maid within a dream tower, Like a snake-charmed bird was she, Fah-wey-nee-suk, Sighing Willow, bride of Mitchi Manito. From her forehead fell her tresses Shining bright with oil and plaited, Hung with braids of scented grasses. Soft her eyes gleamed with the prayer of maidenhood. Past the fire and past the tepees. Past the groups of dancing men. Came to halt, kneeling, near the medicine man. Praying him to wait for nightfall, Pleading to be wed by firelight. Going forth to seek the bridegroom through the leaping waterfall, She so beautiful, fair, begging one more hour of living. So they waited till the stars had all assem- bled, And the birds had sought their homes. Only leaving Koos-Koos-Koos, Great white owl, to roam the darkness When the campfircs gleamed like beacons, W hen the dusk lay all around, Forth were sent the youths and maidens seek- ing her for Him intended. Through the lodges, around the wigwams ' Neath the bush in forest-glade Xowhere, nowhere could they find her, Mitchi Manio ' s missing bride. And Little Beaver, chieftain ' s son, forsook duty, tribe and comrade Gone with Mitchi Manito ' s bride. W hethcr the Great Spirit claimed her From her Little Beaver ' s side. Whether cursed onward they wander or have fallen side by side. Yet toward Southward came into being A race most beautiful by far. Tall and slender, gentle, warlike Claiming that to them was given the Great Spirit ' s missing bride. 51 friendly {Redskin Herbert Anderson Helen Carter, a school teacher in the little school situated in Honeysuckle Valley, could be seen hurrying through Gloomy Swamp on the way to her home, a cosy farmhouse three miles away. She very seldom took this short cut through the swamp, but tonight a storm was brewing and she wanted to reach home before it broke. She did not like to take this path through the swamp, for wolves and Indians were plen- teous in this little valley. She had a very wholesome respect for both, for they were constantly harassing the settlers. Also, the homes were situated far apart and she knew that if anything happened it would be diffi- cult for her to get aid. The houses were built with thick walls and loopholes which were used in case of attacks. Helen hurried to get out of Gloomy Swamp as quickly as possible for it, indeed, was a dis- mal place on a dark day. Sometimes the settlers referred to this swamp as Massacre Swamp because so many of their number had been massacred there two years before by the Indians. Helen was almost through the swamp when she was startled by stumbling over an Indian, who was lying across the path. She felt like screaming, and running away, but upon closer observation she noticed that he was injured, and unconscious. She knelt by the Indian and, when he regained consciousness, asked. hat is the trouble? Can I help yoo? The brave grunted and looked at the girl stoically. His leg was broken and he ap- peared to be in great pain. Helen was per- plexed She wanted to get home before dark and yet she could not leave the Indian to freeze to death or be eaten by the wolves. I had better go and get help. she said The redskin showed no sign of having un- derstood what she said Helen started as swiftly as possible for her heme to get aid. When she was about half- way to the house, she met her brother coming for her with the horse and wagon. I was just coming for yoo, - he called. I thought you would probably come through the swamp. It is not safe with so many Indians and wolves. I know, Robert, she answered, but I wanted to get home before dark. Xow you must come back with me because I ' ve found a poor wounded Indian. Poor Indian ! exclaimed her brother. Well, we had better leave him where he is. Get into the rig and I ' ll take you home. No, we must not go away and leave him because I told him that I would come back with help. Robert did not like the idea of going back to help the wounded man. Hadn ' t the lives of the settlers been made miserable by the red men? He did not believe that the life of one of these tormentors was worth saving. But Helen would not yield and finally Rob- ert was persuaded to return to the unfor- tunate brave. The two of them were able to get him into the wagon and at once they took him home. That evening the first bad snow storm of the winter came. Mr. and Mrs. Carter, with their youngest daughter, Rose, had gone to town that morning so there was very ' little chance of their returning that night. We ' ve got to get along as best we can, remarked Bob. Father and mother cannot come home for days if this blizzard lasts. Be- sides, we have this savage on our hands. The boy and girl had already set the In- dian ' s leg in splints, a task which only a sur- geon is supposed to be able to perform, but which the settlers often had to do when emer- gencies arose. The blizzard raged for almost a week, with only occasional moderations, and when it fi- nally abated the whole country was snow- bound. It will be a week before we can dig our way out prophesied Robert This is the largest fall of snow I have ever seen. Meanwhile. Helen was taking good care of her patient. Every day she examined the splints to see that they held the the bone in place. It was more than a week after the snowstorm before Mr. and Mrs. Carter were able to re- turn home. Just before the return of the par- ents, the Indian, who had recovered rapidly, was able to hobble away from the farmhouse with the aid of a pair of improvised crutches. He left without so much as a word of thanks to his rescuers. I never did see a thankful Indian, mur- mured Robert. Sometime he may return and scalp us for our trouble. Oh, 1 don ' t believe he will do such a thing. He was thankful, I think, for look at the odd present he gave me. Bob examined the present, a rattle snake pouch fdled with yellow dust and shiny peb- bles, and said, This might be valuable ; may- he it is gold. W hen Mr. Carter heard the story of the Indian he shook his head and said, It is a risky thing even to be fri end a wounded In- dian, daughter. He could have pretended that he was injured and killed you. That ' s what I tried to tell her, said Bob. But Mrs. Carter smilingly put her arm around her daughter and said, What else could she do? If she had left him lie, he sure- ly would have been devoured by the wolves be- fore morning. Talking about wolves, interruped her hus- band, we have cause to be more frightened of them than Indians. I hear that they arc- roaming around in large packs. They are very vicious because of the lack of food. They cleaned out Johnston ' s stock pen last week and there were so many of them that Mr. John- ston could not drive them away. Our sheep pens will have to be strength- ened, added Robert. The snow is so deep that a wolf could easily leap over the fence. We will have to lock the sheep up in the barn at nights, said Mr. Carter. The loss of any of the sheep or cattle was always sharply felt by any settler, for it took years to raise a flock of sheep or a herd of cattle. Robert knew this and therefore he was just as concerned about it as was his father. Al out a week later Robert was awakened by the howl of a wolf, and a noise in the barn, where the sheep were kept. He dressed as swiftly as possible. The wolves are in the sheep pen, his father called, Bring your gun with you. Father and son each took their guns, and also a torch, and started swiftly toward the the barn. They had gone but half way when they were startled by a group of snarling figures, which leaped toward them. Two guns cracked simultaneously and two of the pack fell in the snow. The rest of the fiends paused for a moment. Hurry, cried Mr. Carter as the confusion in the barn increased. Disregarding their own safety, they hastened to the barn, where they found themselves confronted by a pack of about thirty wolves. Mr. Carter and Bob waved their torches around their heads in an effort to frighten the animals away. But the brutes which had already tasted blood, refused to move. The boy jumped into a stall and waved his torch in the face of a large gray wolf who was preparing to attack Bob ' s favorite pet, a pony. Unfortunately, Robert got directly behind the pony ' s feet and the animal, wh ich was frightened by the confusion, kicked the lad in the back and knocked him into the jaws of the infuriated beast. The father, who saw the misfortune, gave a frantic cry and started to his son ' s rescue. The pony which was lurching in his stall knocked the torch out of Mr. Carter ' s hand, also causing him to drop his rifle. When he fell, his hands came into contact with a large spike which he at once used in his fight. Bob, who likewise lost his rifle, was fighting with his knife. Both father and son were badly hurt and the wolves, seeing their advan- tage, jumped for their throats. Mr. Carter and Bob fought desperately for they knew they were battling against death. Once in a while the pony managed to kick one of the wolves, thereby somewhat aiding his friends. Bob, father! they heard Helen call. The next minute Helen came running into the barn, followed by her mother. They at once joined in the fight to give what little aid they could. Helen jumped into the stall to help her brother and the mother fought by the side of her husband. As if to add to the Carters ' misfortune, a bright light appeared in the pile of hay. It immediately grew brighter and bigger. Fire! shouted Mrs. Carter, the hay is on fire. The whole family turned to look at the new ca- tastrophe; the wolves also stopped to view the flames. Mr. Carter groaned, not so much from pain as from agony. Were they to lose the barn and precious hay as well as all the stock? Suddenly above the crackle of the flames could be heard a fierce blood-curdling noise. Indians, gasped Mrs. Carter. The family 53 stood in a shivering little group expecting any moment to be attacked and scalped by the Indians. But the thing which the Carters expected did not happen. Instead of this, the braves darted in and out among the wolves and soon it dawned upon the nearly paralyzed minds of the family that the Indians had routed the wolves, and put out the fire. Helen soon noticed a familiar figure come hobbling to- ward her, half supporting himself upon a crutch. Me help girl who saved my life, he said. You go to the house; Indians see that wolves no attack you. Was this merely a coincidence? No, it was an act of kindness performed by a friend. Tecumseh, whose life Helen had saved, was the son of the chief of the neighboring tribe. He had long sought to repay the kindness, which Helen had shown him when she saved his life. She had also nursed him back to health and he, and some of his people, had come to help in time of great need. He did this in addition to giving her the rattlesnake pouch, which was later found to contain gold dust and nuggets. Helen always treasured his gift very much. Not only the Carters became true friends of the Indians, but also the rest of the settlers of the Valley, and though you may search through your history, you will never find that there was another massacre in Honeysuckle Valley. died Vengeance Daniel B. Hill Go paint yourselves, oh fearless braves Throw wood upon the smouldering fire, fis vengeance that your manhood craves, And there is justice in your ire. So let us take that well-worn path That leads us to the white-faced thorn Whose point has pricked us up to wrath, Because we ' re from our forests shorn. The sharp wind fans the feeble flame ; And lashes it into a blaze By which we ' ll sing and dance the bane, Of those whose hands our forests raze. Now dance, my warriors, here with me, With weapons tried but not so dear, That we won ' t use them full and free To fill the foe with mortal fear. Do not be mute with poisonous hate, But scream your wrath in war whoops higher! And in them seal the white man ' s fate, As victims of our bows and fire. Be free to let your cries ascend Into the air with strength and power, Until all living things will end, So cravingly they come and cower. The sun has passed and darkness rules. The owl ' s screech comes sharp and shrill. It ' s just an owl to the fools, But to our tribe it means, Come, kill ! The braves pass o ' er the path so light On which they go in single file. They are but shadows of the night, Though grim and firm in warlike style. The fort is reached and all is still. We kill the guards like helpless doe; And now the braves cry loud and shrill, The white men run, but they are slow. Our arrows sing a joyful song, While speeding to a well-aimed mark. And with delight they right the wrong That calls for whites ' blood in the dark. At last the fire licks the huts And soon will leave but black remains, And in the field but furrowed ruts To mark the foe in our domains. So come, my braves, now let ' s away, For the east denotes the coming sun. And vengeance bids no longer stay, Because our work has been well. done. 54 dramatics CLASS PLAY The senior class play, It Pays to Adver- tise, a three-act comedy, by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett, was presented by a double cast in the school auditorium April 29 and 30. The plot deals with the troubles of a young man whose wealthy father has been unable to induce him to work. The father, Cyrus Martin, who made millions in the manu- facture of soap, persuades his secretary, Mary Grayson, to encourage the son ' s, Rodney Martin, love-making, hoping thus to inspire the young man to work. Rodney meets an old acquaintance, Ambrose Peale, who is the press agent for a theatrical company. Rod- ney hires him as his advertising manager. A number of clever incidents complicate the story when the father discovers that his son is fighting him in the realm of soap produc- tion. Act one takes place in the living room of Cyrus Martin ' s home in New York. The time is the spring of 1927. Act two is one month later in the private office of the 13 Soap company. The scene for act three is the same as act one and the time a morning on a day in late April. All the players gave an excellent interpre- tation of their parts. Much credit for the success of the play is due to Miss Dorothy Deane, dramatic art coach. The posters and scenery were constructed and painted by the stage crew and art depart- ment. Music was furnished by the North Cen- tral orchestra under the direction of C. Olin Rice. The casts are as follows : Mary Grayson Margaret Campbell Jrie Binnard Johnson Donald Clarke Comtesse de Beattrien Helen Hazen Blanche Morgan Rodney Martin Oscar Nordquist Philip Redford Cyrus Martin Lewis Stevens, Toe Fay Ambrose Peale Ronald Phares John Shouffler Marie Virginia Lee Maguire Helen M. Jones William Smith Laverne Rhodes George McChesney Carl Reichart Chester Griffith Miss Burke La Verne Garett Gertrude Hansen Ellcry Clarke Irving Coffman Miss Bronson Ethlyn Churchill Mary Tuttle Student directors Gertrude Hansen Frances Alderson The members of the business staff were : Business manager Mary Feninger Property manager Beulah Hoffman Wardrobe mistress .....Frances Alderson Head usher Ralph Treloar THE BURGLARS 4 The Burglars a one-act play by Margaret Cameron, was presented by the Masque club at a double pay convocation, April 1. One hundred forty-eight dollars were raised for the playfield. The play was also given be- fore the P.T.A. and at Edgecliff sanatarium. The play is a comedy based on the exper- iences which five girls had one night while on a house-party at a summer resort. The plot is well wo rked out, and the finding of the burglar proves to be very interesting. The following is the cast: Peggy Jane Levi Freda Gertrude Hansen Edith Marsaline Smith Valeria Irene Erickson Mable Helen Jones Kenyon Bement, property manager; and Betty Slee, student director. Band The Xorth Central hand, which is directed by Lowell C. Bradford, is one of the most suc- cessful organizations in school. The land is operated in three units. The concert liand of fifty players is given special training for playing advanced numbers. The junior band, composed of the remaining play- ers, is a practice group for the gaining of ex- perience in the fundamentals of ensemble play- ing. The full hand is the principal unit, composed of lioth the concert and junior bands, and has a membership of one hundred two pieces. North Central ' s band has made approxi- mately forty appearances this semester. It opened the Sportsmen ' s and Tourists ' fair. May 10, and the Columbia Basin League con- ference. May 20. The concert band played at the Apple Blossom festival in Wenatchee, May 5 and 6. The junior band marched in the boys ' parade May 5. Phillip Lewis and Philip Red ford are the bandmasters ; John Huneke, manager ; Har- leigh Lines, assistant manager ; and Chester Griffith, drum major. The sixth annual spring concert was given April 14, in the school auditorium. This was undoubtedly the most successful concert ever put on by the North Central band. Two of the compositions played, concert waltz Twin Lakes — and march — Xorth Central Band — were composed especially for the North Central band by Joe S. King. 56 Orchestra An important factor in North Central is the forty-five-piece orchestra directed by C. Olin Kicc. The orchestra practices every Wednesday in the school auditorium. A fourth credit is given for one semester ' s work. The orchestra played at a convocation held this semester in connection with Good Eng- lish week. Another convocation was pre- sented April 20. A program was broadcast April 1 over KFIO, the North Central sta- tion. The processional march was played l y the orchestra at baccalaureate and commence- ment exercises. A special number was also played at each exercise. The orchestra plays the fillers between acts at the class play.

These are held each spring and are sponsored by the Drs. K. E. and T. M. A hlquist, who arc interested and wish to create a greater interest in forcnsics. The junior Ahlquist debate is held between students of the freshman and sophomore clas- ses and the senior Ahlquist debate is put on by members of the junior and senior classes. Each year one hundred dollars is awarded to the winners in these debates and a medal is presented to the winner of the senior Ahl- quist debate in addition to a cash prize of fortv dollars. Junior Ahlquist Debate When all students interested in debating were urged to come out for the preliminaries, about thirty students reported, from which, teams were chosen to take part in the final debate. The question for the Junior Ahlquist, held May 10, was: Resolved, That the United States should grant immediate independence to the Philippine Islands. Alice Perkins, John Blanchard and Howard Clark upheld the affirmative side, and Dean Phares, Lucile Finks and Charles Campbell were on the negative side. Senior Ahlquist Debate The Ahlquist debate in the senior depart- ment was held on May 20. The team com- 53 posed of four students from the junior and senior classes argued the following ques- tion: Resolved, That Spokane should adopt the city manager plan of government. From the twelve students who entered the contest the following teams were selected: Affirma- tive, Sterling Taylor and Richard Campbell ; negative, Daisy Stevens and Kathryn Sted- man. 4 1 • GONZAGA DUAL DEBATE North Central and Gonzaga divided honors in the dual debate held April 20. The affir- mative team, composed of Esther Rossiter and Sterling Taylor, won the decision given by Mr. Burke in the afternoon, who acted as judge of the debate. The negative team, with VVillard Bungay and Daisy Stevens upholding that side, lost the decision to Gonzaga in the evening. Both teams debated on the follow- ing question : Resolved, That Spokane should adopt the city manager plan of government. Both teams had excellent arguments and presented their points with much force. p. J|E S. A. R. CONTEST The S. A. R. contest, held February 15, was won by Kathryn Stedman, 11 A. Her topic was The Funding of the National Debt. Richard Campbell, 12 B, speaking on The Economic Causes of the Revolution won second place. Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Shaw and Miss McKenna were the judges. Kathryn spoke before the Spokane chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and was presented with a medal by the chapter. On February 21, in honor of George Washing- ton, she gave her address before the Rotary club. Other speakers and their subjects were: Frances Alderson, Financing the Revolution, Esther Rossiter, Financing the Revolution, and Sterling Taylor, The Revolutionary War Debt. Kathryn has been very active in debating. She won the Junior Ahlquist debate, held in 1926, led the North Central team in its de- bate with Hillyard and participated in the Medals debate. She is a member of the Cat- toniau club, a girls ' debating club. Richard has also been prominent in debat- ing, having taken part in the North Central- Hillyard debates and the Ahlquist debates. NATIONAL Oi TOR?CAL CONTEST Each year the Seattle Times sponsors an oratorical contest, known as the National Or- atorical contest. Students of all the high schools in the country are entitled to try out. Kathryn Stedman, speaking on Lincoln and the Constitution, was chosen to represent North Central. She won against Lewis and Clark, Gonzaga and Valleyford in the contest among the schools of Spokane County. As a result of this victory, she represented Spo- kane County and won in the sectional con- test composed of counties of eastern Washing- ton. She was then sent to Seattle to compete with the winners from other parts of Wash- ington. Robert Evans, a student in a Tacoma high school, won first place in this contest. However, Kathryn was rated very high. 5 ORGANIZATIONS 95oys ' federation An organization of the Ik vs of North Cen- tral and for North Central, is the Hoys ' Fed- eration. Here arc offered opportunities for the development of leadership, responsibility and personal efficiency. Every hoy in the school is a memher of this group, which har- ! ors unusual possibilities for character de- velopment. The direct- ing force of the Feder- ation is an executive council consisting of the officers of the organiza- tion, representatives of each classand a represen- tative from each of the several school cluhs and heads. The class repre- sentatives are elected hy their respective classes. The greater portion of the work is done hy the three departments, the community service, school service and per- sonal service. They are in turn divided into com- mittees under chairmen appointed hy the depart- ment heads, each com- mittee having ten or fif- teen members. In the community ser- vice department, this se- mester under the leader- ship of Harold Ostrander, are the following committees: Grammar school relations, which promotes interest in Xorth Central among the grade schools hy means of speakers, a decla- mation contest and awardin, of trophies for champion athletic teams; the philanthropic committee, which cooperates with the Girls ' League in p roviding for the Spokane Chil- dren ' s home and sends programs and dona- tions to the poor farm; and the civic affairs committee, whose duty it is to direct school elections, hold mock elections at the times of national elections and make arrangements for Boys week. The school service department, directed this semester hy Bill Ross, consists of these Everett Rcelle, President committees: Fire squad, which searches the building after fire alarms; the ushering, traf- fic and ticket committee ; the Comanche Order of the Warwhoop, which provides or- ganized yelling for athletic contests; and the paddle squad, whose duty it is to see that paper is not thrown alx ut the school grounds and that no one smokes within two blocks of the school. Under the supervision of Paul Bernard, the fol- lowing committees care for the work of the per- sonal service depart- ment : The vocational committee, which secures employment for students and helps them in select- ing the kind of work which they wish to fol- low; the welfare com- mittee, which sends flow- ers to sick boys; the scholarship committee, which secures help for failing students; the freshman committee, whose duty it is to help the freshmen with their problems and make them feel at home in the school. Strict civic procedure marks the elections carried on each semester. Every boy must register if he wishes to make use of his voting privege. Primaries are held and the names of the two receiving the high- est numl ers of votes are placed on the final ballot. The of f icers are nominated by means of petitions. In order to receive nomination for office, a candidate must have fifty signatures on his petition. An exception to this is made in the case of class representatives, who are required to have only fifteen signatures. Officers for this semester are: President. Everett Rucllc; vice president, David Kaye; (Continued on fage lit) 61 Qirls ' league Honor, service and loyalty is the motto which guides and directs the individual and united efforts of North Central girls. It is the motto of an organization which embraces every girl in school. In 1916 the Girls ' League was hut a vision in the minds of Miss Jessie Gibson and Mr. Hargrcaves. The girl student body was called together in the fall of 1017 to form the perman- ent organization. Miss Gibson, after studying the work of similar federa- tions on the coast, re- turned to Spokane and became dean of girls. After much discussion, it was decided to place girls who were officers of existing clubs on a central committee to draw up the constitution for the League. The com- mittee did its work well for in February 1917 the constitution was adopted. The Girls ' League was launched under the lead- ership of Josephine Co- wen as president. Dur- ing the nine years of her service as Girls ' advisor. Miss Gibson endeared herself to every ' one in N ' orth Central, and it was with regret that the girls saw her leave this spring to take up her new work for a time at the L ' niversity of Washington. An emblem, signifying honor, service and loyalty, was chosen by the girls. Honor is de- picted by the head of a young girl. The flag of the American Red Cross represents sen-ice and loyalty is shown by the American flag. Officers of the League are elected semi- annually. A senior A girl has been accorded the honor of being president with but two ex- ceptions. During the entire eight years of its exis- tance. the work of the League has changed but little. The girls are divided into groups called departments. By this plan the girls are Rhf.a Maloxev, President able to work and study with something in which they are interested. Since the League was started, the personal efficiency and entertainment departments have been the same as the present. Girls interested in swimming, hiking and other athletic work enroll in this department. Miss Elsa Pink- ham is faculty director of the group and Rhoda Mahoncy is the student in charge. The entertainment de- partment sponsors the semi-annual Girls ' Lea- gue party, the Freshie frolic, and aids in many m other scoohl programs. ' J Girls who are talented in H music, dancing etc., are 9Hl urged to join the enter- tainment department. Miss Linda Mueller is faculty advisor of the group and Mildred Carr is student leader. As the Girls ' League was formed during the World War, the patriotic •lepartment was the most important. This has since l cen changed to :he vocational. The vo- cational group is interested in anything per- taining to vocations for women. This semes- ter the faculty advisor is Miss Ruth Sawyer; the student leader is Man, ' Hinton. One department is reserved for upper class girls; this is the social service group. These girls do all kinds of philanthropic work. Every Christmas, with the aid of the Boys ' Federa- tion, toys and clothing are sent to the orphans at the Spokane Children ' s home. A party for these children is given by the department some- time during the spring. Miss Helen McDouall has been faculty advisor of the group for several years. Muriel W hiting is the present head.

A teller and an assistant were appointed for each room and the money turned in to them was taken to the main station. There was no re- checking system and the teacher issued with- drawal slips at any time desired. In the fall of 1926, the hanking was trans- ferred to Mr. Strictcr ' s office practice class, the president, vice presidents and cashiers be- ing chosen In Mr. Stricter from the class. In each class a teller and assistant teller is appointed. Four cashiers arc stationed on each floor to receive the money from the room tel- lers on that floor. They recheck the money and slips and the teller cannot leave until the money and slips balance. It is the president ' s duty to supervise the second and third floors, while Mr. Stricter manages the first floor and basement. The president must also see that the report, list- ing the rooms by floors with the per cent of deposit, is prepared and given to each teacher. The school reached the 100 per cent mark first on November 2, 1926, with 1989 students in attendance and 1989 deposits. From that time to April 12, 1927, the 100 per cent mark has been lost but four times. Officers for present semester: President: Muriel Whiting; vice presi- dents: Marie Dethlofs, Jennie Wilson, Mil- dred Wiggs; cashiers: first floor and base- ment — Marie Dethlofs in charge, Grace Kel- ley, Laura I.uck, Josephine McCallum, Win- nifred Smith, Stephania Sundbye, Mary Mauro and Celia Atwood j second floor— Mil- dred Wiggs in charge, Gertrude Ham, Eve- lyn G.

The purpose of the club is to promote proficiency in literary and forensic activities among the members and the school at large. This club had its direct origin from the consolidation of the Grub Street and the Lin- colnian clubs, literary and forensic respec- tively. Aside from the study of writing and debating during the meetings, the club par- ticipates in several special meetings. A series of debates are held with the Senate, debating society of Lewis and Clark. A debate is held with the Cattonians every semester. The Indian club backs every movement of a literary or forensic nature and sponsors several of its own. This semester the club sponsored the Tamarack short story contest. STUDENT CONDUCT BOARD On September 14, 1922, the Student Con- duct board was formed and Lawrence Mich- ell was appointed as the first president by the Associated Student councils. On May 29, 1922, the Student Conduct board was rati- fied by the vote of the students; 1393 votes were for the board and 274 were against it. The object of the board is to govern con- duct in the library, at convocations and in the halls of Xorth Central during school hours. Meetings are held every Monday morning in room 116 and students may come there who wish to plead their cases and are sure to get a square deal. SCRIPTORIAN SOCIETY In November 1923, the Senior English club, under the direction of Miss Emma Clarke, was reorganized as an active club, and chose the name Scriptorians to typify the mean- ing of the club. The purpose of the club is to promote an interest in writing. At each meeting, some original work of the members is read and dis- cussed. The requirements for membership admit only those capable of the best work in English composition. A student having four semester grades of A or B in English and no grade below C is eligible to submit a short story, essay or poem. Authors of the best manuscripts win membership to the club. 82 GOLF CLUB Walter Arncson started the Golf club in 1923 with the purpose of promoting interest in golf. Nine tournaments are held each spring and two each fall among the members. The club also sponsors the North Central cham- pionship tournament in the spring. The club expects to start tournaments with the golf club that has been formed at Gon- zaga high this spring. SANS SOUCT Sans Souci, the official name of the French club, means without care. This society was formed in 1913 as a girls ' club. In 1921 boys were admitted to member- ship, but again in 1922 the club voted the mem- bership to girls. Since the fall of 1925, the club has included both boys and girls. The purpose of the Sans Souci is to pro- mote interest in the French language, and only students who have had two semesters of French are eligible. VOX PUELLARUM In 1912 the Vox Puellarum was organized for the purpose of promoting interest in de- bating among girls. The purpose of the club however, has now been changed and the Vox is known as a literary organization. Each semester a Vox award is given to the girl who has overcome the most obstacles dur- ing her high school career. The club has cared for an orphan for the last three years. Each fall a banquet is held by the members of the club, and a tea, a week-end house par- ty and the Vox Variety Vodvil are held dur- ing the spring semester. These are all annual affairs. MATHEMATICS CLUB On February 18, 1913, the Mathematics club was formed for the purpose of promoting a more widespread interest in the subject of mathematics. At present, the club sponsors the algebra contest in the fall and the geometry contest in the spring. The winner in each contest is given a loving cup and his name is placed on the Mathematics club plate in the lower ball. The purpose of these contests is to in- terest students in the line of mathematics. The N ' orth Central Mathematics club has been holding joint meetings with the Lewis and Clark club, lately. + MASQUE CLUB In May, 1910, the Masque club was formed as a literary society. During the year 1911, be- cause of the joint high school, no clubs were recognized and the Masque club met at the homes of the members and was known as the Fortnightly club. In 1912, the members decided to take up the dramatic line as well as the literary and it was then that the name, Masque was adopted. The membership of this club is limited to thirty, fifteen boys and fifteen girls, and the object is to encourage literary, dramatic, vocal and dancing talent. A play was presented during April by this club for the benefit of the Playfield. ■ S. P. Q. R. S. P. Q. R. stands for Senatus Populusquc Komanus in Latin, and in English it means the Senate and the Roman people or a com- mon name applied to the Roman people in gen- eral. The club was organized about 1914 by Miss Evans for the purpose of promoting an in- terest in Latin and forming a medium for so- cial interests and general good times. At all meetings, reports on some custom or peculiar habit of the Latin or Roman people are given. The Latin club has put on two plays ; it has broadcast a number of times over KFIO and has had a concession at every Pow Wow. CATTONIAN CLUB Katherine Riesling, in January, 1926, organ- ized the Cattonian club and was its first pres- ident. The purpose of the club is to interest girls in debating. The club successfully handled the News campaign this last semester. They had a debate with the boys of the Indian club this spring and intend to make this debate an an- nual affair.

SPORTS Basketb all ficalt tf HEX Chief Friel issued the initial call fur casalta tossers, four letter- men. Hove, Dech, Miller ami Gra- ham responded. W ith these four as a nucleus. Friel began to huild up a winning team. At first, it was dif- find the best combination of basket- eers. but when this was accomplished the team played with vigor and enthusiasm. The first game was with the W. S. C. frosh and the Indians found the going very rough. W. S. C. won. 28—19. Seeking better hunt- ing grounds, the Indian braves started on the warpath. The quintet was nosed out by Tekoa. II — 10. L ' ndannteH, however, the braves took Moscow into ramp, 20—13. The scalp of Ana- tone was the next to lie put on the Indian ' s belt to the ton of 25—10. The Indian war- riors failed to whet their tomahawks suffic- iently, with the result that they were defeated by Clarlcston, 15—12. This defeat made the red men wrathful, therefore, they sank their tomahawks into Genesee for a 23 — 13 win. The Indians then returned to their own ramp with three scalps. In the next game the In- dian ' s arrows did not hit tfie mark in the Fairfield game and the braves were driven back to a score of 18—14. With revenge in their hearts, the Indian mjintet had a re- turn battle with Fairfield. The Indian took their scalp, 29—24. Coeor  FAlene ' s scalp was next to fall to the redskins. The score was 26—20. The Indian team was now show- ing real form and slaughtered Gonzaga. 31 — 14. The Tigers were the next foes of the In- dians. The braves felt the Tigers ' claws and were defeated 22--! 7. The V. C. laskeeters ex- perienced difficulty in locating the basket. 89 The following game, the Tigers ' claws struck deeper and the braves lost, 23 — 11. Unleasing a dazzling brand of floor work, N. C. gave the Hillyard panthers a 22 — 13 trouncing. At this point in the season, Luf- kin and Johnson, freshman basketeers, began showing their stuff. Their work on the var- sity was in the third Tiger-Indian fray. Dis- playing excellent teamwork, the Red and Black hoopsters tied a knot in the Tiger ' s tail and won, 29 — 20. The Indian hoopsters failed to brush the Tiger ' s fur the wrong way and lost the city title, 28—19. The Tiger quintet ' s vic- tory was due to ability to sink long shots. Again the panthers felt the Red and Black tomahawk and the braves conquered, 22 — 8. Winning by a score of 20 — 11, the Indian braves easily quieted the snarling panther for good. In the final game of the season, the Red and Black warriors experienced little dif- ficulty in muzzling the Gonzaga bullpups, 27—13. Although Xorth Central ' s basketball team finished second in the city championship, the season was considered a success. A great deal of credit should be given to Coach Jack Friel, who constantly strove to improve the Indian squad. This year North Central can boast of the best freshman basketball team in the city. Pete Ackley coached the freshmen and turned out a team that could not be equalled. Two of the freshmen, namely Lufkin and Johnson, played varsity basketball for half of the season. Both of these men with the other freshman players make prospects ex- ceedingly bright for the coming years. Captain Einar Hove will be the only player lost to the Indian quintet. In addition to be- ing captain of the redskins, Hove was chosen captain of the all-city five. Einar was the only N. C. player in the first all-city team. He was chosen, captain because of his ability to play excellent basketball when the going was rough. Einar was a tower of strength in all departments of the game and apparent- ly has no weakness whatsoever. He is an ex- cellent shot and his loss to the team will be keenly felt. Clarence Pete Graham has great ability to break through opposing defense. His floor- work is good and besides this he can be re- lied upon to score when points are needed. Francis Murphy ' s greatest strength is in the guard position. Murphy is exceptionally good on defense. He also makes the long shots consistently. One of the best all-around men is Henry Schmidt. He plays a heady game no matter what position he is filling. Mentor Dahlen is one of the most flashy basketeers. He is very speedy and never slackens his space. Francis Lufkin, a product of the freshman team, is capable of crinkling the net consis- tently and is indcspensablc on the offense. Johnson, also a freshman player, is noted for being very consistent on both offensive and defensive work. Bill Miller, high point man in the city race, one of the outstanding players on this year ' s team, is marked by his ability to score from almost any position. With all these men, except Hove, reporting for berths on the team, a win over the Tigers is prophesied for many years for the Red and Black warriors. GOLF More students than ever before took part in the golf tournaments during the past sea- son, and the great game seems undoubtedly headed for recognition as a school sport. Bill Miller, last year ' s champ, and Art Mis- selhorn, stood out as the premier golfers, each starting early by taking one of the first two tournaments held. Art won the blind hole, held in vacation week, and Miller cut loose during the next two weeks to take the match handicap. The annual championship tournament, with Mrs. Clara Cowley ' s cup as prize, was held during the latter part of May, with a record entry. Negotiations were begun by the Golf club with Gonzaga high and a meet was scheduled for May 11. Bill Miller, Art Misselhorn, John Pilik, Pete Olson, Rudy Kolh and Bob Sandell, with Russ Lind and Aristidc Novelli as alternates, represented the club in this tournament. WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE? (From the Advertising Columns) Easter Bunnies, lots of puppies, New shipment of goldfish, imported rollers. Those rolling goldfish must be a new in- vention. Swi wimming It was in early January that Chief Charles Whiteside directed the tom-tom to be struck calling the young braves of North Central that they might, under his guidance, gain strength and courage for a strenuous con- quest. Among the red men who came were a few proved warriors who had followed this warpath before and had many scalps hanging to the poles of their tepees. As evidence of their prowess they wore the sacred emblem of North Central. They were : Ross, Bullivant, Sandell, Sherman, Hums and Zimmerman. All were eager to lead their less-experienced fellows into the waves for trials of strength and swiftness with their hereditary enemies, the Tigers. In order to determine which of the braves were best fitted for the warpath, a handi- cap meet was arranged with the strongest of the squaws. The Indian maidens proved strong and fast in the water, but not enough so to prevent their d efeat by the braves. There was also an interclass meet in which the sophomores won with 30 points to their credit. Bullivant, a member of the sopho- more family, proved himself the most ag- gressive by gaining ten counters. Missel- horn of the renowned senior family was second with nine. After three moons of preparation, the war party broke camp and sought the Tiger forces. The Tigers, too, had been busy and were ready. The battle was hard fought and the outcome uncertain to the very end, the In- dians emerging victorious. The score was 36 to 32. Rill Ross of North Central was high point winner for the meet with two firsts netting him ten points. Tom Blankcnberg of Lewis and Clark secured the second highest num- ber of points. He completed the 100-yard breast stroke in 1:14 and three fifths, set- ting a new city record in that event. The diving of Jack Bullivant brought much honor to the camp of the Indians. His almost per- fect control made it one of the best high school diving exhibitions ever witnessed 91 Baseball An enthusiastic tril c of Redskins answered Chief Friel ' s first call for baseball candidates. Woods, Swanson, Cooney, Dahlen, Haynes and Stevens were the Indian lettcrmen return- ing for their positions. Practice started with a bang. Conse- quently, several practice games were played by the Red and Black diamond men. Such teams as Elk and Cheney Normal fell before the Indian tribe. In the first Gonzaga game, the Red and Black warriors experienced little difficulty in silencing the noisy Bullpups. The Indian nine sank their tomahawks for a 21-.? win. All the Redskins hit well. The second Bullpup-Indian fray marked the opening of the playfield. The gam e turned out to be a slugfest for N ' orth Central. Again the Bullpups were whipped, 17-0. Each In- dian brave played excellent ball and each war- rior took his turn in knocking the ball off the lot. Bill Gunn, a new diamond man, knocked two home runs. Naturally there w-as keen interest aroused concerning the annual Tiger-Indian fracas. Although the Red and Black warriors emerged the winners, they did not appear to be up to their usual batting average. Everyone thought that the ball game was North Central ' s until the seventh inning. With defeat star- ing them in the face, the Tigers attempted a rally which netted them two runs. At this time the score stood 5 to 4, in favor of the Indians. In the last part of the ninth inning, the victory was assured for the Red and Black when an Orange and Black player was put out while trying to steal third base. Woods, Cooney and Leeds starred for the redmen. Driving two pitchers from the mound, the hard-hitting N ' orth Central baseball team won their second contest from Lewis and Clark by a score of 17-4. The Indians clouted the ball almost at will. The game was featured by the heavy hitting of the Indian squad. Cooney, Leeds, Gunn, Woods and Suechting pounded the ball consistently. Suechting ' s home run and Lecd ' s pair of doubles added interest to the game. Cedcr was effective on the mound and had the Tiger batsmen under control at all times. Playing air-tight ball, the Red and Black diamond men romped through the third and final game of the series to whip the Tigers, 14-3. Four Orange and Black pitchers were used in an attempt to stave off defeat. This win over the Tigers was especially welcome, due to the fact that this victory was the first in many years. Captain Cooney, playing for the Indians, is one of the best infieldcrs in the city. Jack hits well and his loss to the team will be felt considerably. Woods starred for the Red and Black in all the games. He is very handy with the stick and also is a heady player. Gilbert Leeds was new blood for the Red and Black diamond nine; nevertheless he de- veloped into an excellent first baseman. Ceder starred on the mound for the Red- skins throughout the whole series. His elus- ive style of pitching was very baffling to the Tigers. Coach Fricl expects a smart ball club for next year, although a few of the diamond stars will graduate. Rudy Swanson, playing his last year of high school baseball, is a heavy hitter in ad- dition to being an unusually good outfielder. I ' allien, regular catcher on this year ' s team, showed up well behind the bat. He developed into a player who could throw the ball ac- curately to any base when the time came. He was a consistent batter and could beat the ball to the base. Suechting, playing his first year of ball for N. C, starred at third. He was a heavy hitter, although a bit erratic. His work in managing the hot lx x was very commen- dable. Haynes. in his third year of playing for the Indians, was an experienced play- er. Me was fast on the bases and an effic- ient right fielder, besides being able to hit. Gunn, being entirely new to this year ' s team, did not have the finish of the more exper- ienced players, but he showed up well with the pole and on second base. Wretch Track aspirants eagerly responded to Coach Taylor ' s call for cinder men. Xcw material turned out and worked hard in order to take the places of the lcttermen who had gradu- ated. In the early part of the season track prospects looked quite gloomy for the Indian aggregation. A few weeks of conscientious practice, along with the tutoring of Chief Taylor, rounded into shape one of the best track teams ever produced by North Central. A few practice meets were held with out- side schools in preparation for the meet with the Bullpups. When the sun set on the day of the Bull- pup- Indian fracas, another scalp had been ad- ded to the Redskins ' collection. Each cinder artist from the sprinters to the weight men did his best so that the Red and Black might triumph, 68-48. Again the Redskins went into camp to shar- pen their tomahawks for the annual Tiger- Indian conflict. The Tiger was doped to win by fifteen points, but the wary redmen were prepared. The 1927 encounter with the Tigers will be remembered as one of the most thril- ling in the history of the school. This was due to the fact that the lead alternated fre- quently between the two rival teams. Toward the last part of the meet the In- dians went into the lead and the fighting Red and Black spirit again won, 66Vj -S5V2. Hill Johnson, one of North Central ' s track luminaries, was high point man of the meet. Paul Swift, carrying the Orange and Black, was second. Swift lived up to his name, his running being one of the features of the day. Frank Sells easily won the four-fourty, and will, no doubt, be a still greater runner in the near future. Both Lincoln and Sherman performed well. Sherman heaved the javelin for a second place which guaranteed a win for the Indians. Ball showed up well, both in the pole vault and in the high hurdles. Sells, Tesarick and Hurst, of N. C. fin- ished first, second and third places, respec- tively in the 440-yard dash. This was one of the many thrills which the meet afforded. Another one of the upsets was experienced when the redskins ' relay team defeated the Tiger ' s team which was thought to be much superior. The relay was exceptionally close and one of the most interesting ever seen in Spokane high school competition. Much credit for a successful season is due Coach Taylor and his assistant, Glen Brick Johnson. Both of these men gave unsparingly of their time and knowledge in order that Red and Black would retain the track- cham- pionship which has been held by them for many years. As soon as one season ' s victory is cinched, one naturally looks forward to the next years ' prospects. Although approximately one half of the track team is graduating, there is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that there will be new material from which to con- struct a winning team. Bearing these thoughts in mind, one can little doubt that North Cen- tral can have anything but successful teams. GIRLS ' TRACK AND BASEBALL Hurray, for the playficld! for the first time in the nine years that the North Central girls have had track teams we are able to have practice on our own playficld rather than in the gymnasium. The baseball teams until this past year have played on a vacant field a block from the school where they had to leap ditches and dodge rocks in order to play. When these lots were purchased by a fuel company, the girls were forced to go several blocks from school each night to prac- tice. However, our playfield has removed all these difficulties. When the weather be- came warm enough. Miss Carrie M. Brown, girls ' track and baseball coach, took her gym classes out on the playfield for class work. This gave the girls a great deal more time to practice than they have had prior to this. The events of the track meets were run off after school during the first week in May; the baseball series were played after school during the latter part of May. Miss Trma Jean Waters assisted Miss Brown in her work. 94 96 7 AVA s ? AVA ]7 v 2 26 c Q 4, 7 For many years. North Central had felt a need for some athletic field located near the school. On April 4, 1926, the idea of leveling the rock pile south of the building and making a playground was first conceived. The rock pile was conveniently near to North Central, hut a strong imagination was required to vision a playfield on the ground there. By April 12, however, the plans for pur- chasing the field were complete. The pur- chase price was $9,000. Of this amount, the faculty contributed $1,(X)0 and the athletic as- sociation held $4,(XX) belonging to North Cen- tral. On April 16, 1926, the first receipt for a donation was issued, and the first check from the playfield fund was written, April 22. At this time, the new project was considered a dream for the future alone. It was esti- mated that two years would he required to raise the money to buy and level the ground. An intensive subscription campaign was be- gun. Students, business men and organiza- tions contributed liberally. The Girls ' League and Boys ' Federation gave $200 each. A good friend of North Central, who withheld his name, contributed $500. Profits from school entertainments and, in general, all school ac- tivities, went into the big project. A slogan contest was sponsored to help in advertising the biggest task ever undertaken by the school. Many good slogans were brought forth and conversation within North Central consisted of such sentences as Rocks fall when money talks, On the level the play field ' s the thing. California Straight Ahead was the title of the first movie shown in North Central as a playfield project. The show was well attended and many similiar en- tertainments were given to swell the new lund. Similiar methods of raising money were en- listed. Besides this, the alumni association be- came interested. On May 12, the field was paid for and the school district held the title to the land. After gaining the title, every available dol- lar went towards leveling the field. It was hoped the ground might be ready for football practice in the fall of 1927. During the sum- mer, school officials did not forget the big task before the students. On July 13. the en- gineering for excavating was begun. By repeated efforts on the part of teachers, students and N. C. patrons, another $10,000 was raised, with the result that on September 3, excavation started, under direction of Cor- l on and Marra a. Miss Greenbcrg, Mr. Bradford, Mr. Shaw, 97 Miss Gibson, Mr. Myers, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Ecker, Mr. Green, Mr. Ken- nedy and two representatives from the Boys ' Feder ation and Girls ' League each composed the executive playfield committee. Leveling was practically completed in two months. Hauling of top dirt started Novem- ber 4, 1926, and all during the winter the work went on. The track had been laid out by Clyde Myers, N. C. mathematics teacher, First work on the curbing started December 6, and late in January 1927 the ground was ready for the cinders. On January 26, the first load of cinders was brought and placed on the track. The project into which loyal North Ccntral- ites had put their time and money was ncar- ing some semblance of completion with the spring of 1927. Student labor was first em- ployed on the field on February 22. The boys spent their time raking the track and leveling the baseball field, instead of taking the reg- ular gymnasium work. Hurdles and other equipment were made in the N. C. shop, first equipment construction beginning March 1. An elaborate system of water piping was laid out on the field, first work for this be- ginning March 21. One year sooner than the most hopeful had expected, the playfield was put into use. Among those deserving praise for their work, Mr. Shaw, vice principal of North Central, deserves commendation for the work he has given personally to the project, and for the spirit he stirred in students and patrons. Bleacher construction began April 18. On April 21, the first baseball game on the new field took place, and April 22 saw N. C. meet Gonzaga on the playfield in the inter- scholastic track meet. Since early spring, the girls ' sports and reg- ular gym classes have been held on the field. The real playfield christening, however, took place with the N. C.-L. C. track meet, held ther May 7. That same evening the result of the first Indian-Tiger contest on the new ground was shown by the Red and Black pennant floating from the N. C. flagpole. In its folds was the word Victory. 4 1 GIRLS ' HIKING Whether it was rain or shine, the seventy- five girls of the North Central hiking club enjoyed two hikes each month of this semes- ter. Any girl who goes on one of these hikes automatically becomes a member of the club. Miss Ennis was the faculty director of the club ; Beth Loomis was the student leader. The girls hiked to many educational and in- teresting places in and around Spokane. The school adopted a hiking emblem, which is given to any girl who hikes one hundred miles in a semester. After she has received this emblem, for every seventy- five additional miles she hikes, she is given a black star. The student leader is given a white star for her work in the cluh. About twelve girls re- ceived embelms and stars for hiking this se- mester. DELTA CLUB In 1914 the Delta club was formed with Mr. Burr of the Y. M. C. A. as director and sponsor. It was then composed of two bran- ches, freshmen and sophomores, and juniors and seniors. Later these consolidated to form one club. The Delta club stands for clean thought, clean speech and clean athletics. The Delta club presents an award in each of the major sports to the person who is considered the best in loyalty to his coach, in sportmanship and in ability. Every other semester this club sponsors the freshie pow wow. Each spring the club puts on a Delta Hi-Jinx and the money obtained from this entertainment is immediately turned into school affairs. The Hi-Jinx is one of the best entertainments of the year. RADIO CLUB North Central ' s Radio club was organized in the fall of 1920 by a small group of radio amateurs with A. L. Smith as faculty director. The first set built by the cluh was a one-kilowatt spark transmitter. With this set the station exchanged messages and news items with other stations over the United States and Canada, partly for the benefit of the North Central News. In the spring of 1923, KFIO was completed, operating on a wave length of 365.3 meters This set was entirely rebuilt during the sum- mer of 1926. The programs put on over this station arc mostly of school talent and school enterprises arc well advertised over the sta- tion. KFIO is well known and has been heard practically over all the United States and parts of Canada. 9S Teh dis ROYS ' TENNIS Coach Neal Smith found many candidates for the tennis team when he issued his first call on April 14. Four lettcrmen turned out for their former places: Snodgrass, Oswald, Er- landson and Olson. Due to the fact that there was such a large turnout of new material, a ranking tournament was held. This tourna- ment enabled the coach to determine who were the better players in school. A wealth of new material was discovered, which helped the team considerably, and will aid the future teams of the school. Immediately following the ranking tourna- ment, an elimination tournament was staged for the Indian racqueteers. The object of this tournament was to decide the school champion. In the early part of the season, Coach Smith found difficulty in developing two winning doubles teams Several practice games were played by the Red and Black net men with such teams as Millwood, Cheney, Sandpoint and the W. S. C. Frosh. In the Hillyard meet, the North Central rac- queteers had little difficulty in defeating their opponents. GIRLS ' TEX X IS Our next tennis tournament with Lewis and Clark will be held on the North Central play- field. However, the Indian girls had to prac- tice tennis on the public courts again this spring, but they had the encouragement of knowing that next fall they would use their own courts. Miss Elsa M. Pinkham, girls ' tennis coach, used a new plan this semester in conducting the intcrclass tournaments. In- stead of having one elimination tournament, as we have always had in the past, the girls were divided into two classes : those who had never played tennis before and those girls who had. In this way it was much easier for the coach to pick the girls for the tennis squad. Next fall, however, a few of these girls will also be eliminated. Those remain- ing will compete in the Tiger vs. Indian tour- naments which will be played next November.

Of the eight meets that have been held between the two schools, the North Cen- tral mermaids have been victorious in seven. There are two meets held every year, and no swimmer can swim in both meets. In this way there has to be two distinct teams represent- ing each school. W hen they are conducted in this manner more girls are able to swim in the meets and more girls arc given a chance to make their letters. The first meet was held in the Lewis and Clark plunge on May 4. With the score tied at 36 each, the relay, the last event on the program, decided the winner of this meet. North Central was victorious in the relay and emerged with the long end of the score, 41 to 36. Virginia Renz, of Lewis and Clark, took first place in the 50-yard dash, 100-yard crawl and 100-yard back stroke, totaling 15 points for the position of high point winner. Khea Moloney of North Central set a new city rec- ord, for girls, in the 100-yard breast stroke, covering the distance in 1 :34, breaking her own former record of 1 :35.4. She has held the city breast stroke record for four years. Rhea was second high point winner with 11 points. Lois Stephens, a North Cen- tral sophomore, showed up well in the meet and will undoubtedly be a good point getter on next year ' s team. The girls on the win- ning relay team were: Mildred Edwall, Vir- ginia Kothacker, Frances Streffelar and Dian- tha McKay. The second meet was held in the North Central tank on May 11. Just as in the first meet, the relay race, the final event decided the meet. The score of the double meet was 82 to 72. One city record was broken when Ruth Boyle, captain of the Lewis and Clark team, made the 100-yard side stroke in 1 :25.4. The former record was 1 :30, held by Marion LeFevre of North Central. Marion was high point winner of the second meet with 13 points. Linn Cowgill captained the North Central team to victory. Violet Rehfeldt was the In- dian manager. The members of the winning relay team were: Blanche Morgan, Ellen Cav- anangh, Helen Robinson and Merle Aune. Miss Elsa Pinkham, girls ' swimming coach, predicts a victorious 1928 season, as she will lose very few letter girls this year. SWIMMING AWARDS In 1919, Dr. John R. Neely donated a tro- phy to North Central which is presented each year to the member of the girls ' swim- ming team who has been on the team for four years, who has been the best sport among the girls, and who has been the greatest help to her coach and her school. There is a silver plate with the name of the girl to whom it is presented that is placed on the trophy annual- ly. Rhea Maloney was given the Neely award this year. She has held the city breast stroke record for four years. In 1926 she received the Aquatic Club Award for swimming. Last year she received her letter in interscholaslic tennis. Rhea is president of the Girls ' Lea- gue, and also a member of the Aquatic and Vox Puellarum clubs. The following girls al- ready have their names on this trophy: Lucille Hone, Kathryn Chapman. Zella Jacobson, Irma lean W aters, Marjorie Campbell, Irene Smith, Eleanor Hove and Rethene Burche. The Girls ' League Aquatic Award is a gold medal that is given to the girl who is the best all around swimmer on the girls ' swim- ming team. Marion LcFcvrc received the award this year. She has been on the team for three years and has been very active in all other girls ' athletic enterprises. Marion was a member of the Aquatic, French and Girls ' Glee clubs. Since 1910, the Aquatic club of North Cen- tral has given the award, but the Girls ' Lea- gue took over the presentation of the medal this year. The League intends to give it an- nnally hereafter. 100 NORTH CENTRAL tot IF IT ' S MADE OF PAPER We Have It 707 to 715 Sprague Ave. 708 to 716 First Ave. STATIONERS and ENGRAVERS 102 ART DEPARTMENT The Art department is another part of North Central which should he highly com- mended for its work in school. Much of the success of this department is due Miss Lillian Stowell, who has been the head of this work since North Central was first built. Most of the attractive posters placed in the halls were made by the members of the art department. Designs for the Tamarack were also made by the art students, as well as cartoons for The News and stage scenery. The art work is open to all students wheth- er they are particularly talented or not. A four years ' study is offered. Classes are held in design, lettering and composition, figure and animal drawing and representative figure ing. Pencil, crayon, charcoal and water colors are used. All art subjects are elective. Art appreciation and history of art are taught with the aid of the light projector. The jewelry class is for seniors only. The fundamental processes of jewelry making are taught.

Every semester one girl is elected from each first peri od room to represent the girls in the room representatives, one chairman being bring information of League activities to their first period rooms, and help to sec that the girls live up to the North Central dress standards. The executive council is the central govern- ing body of the League. This is composed of the four general officers of the organization, the four department heads and faculty direc- tors, four chairmen and assistant chairmen of the room representatives, one chairman being elected from each floor. The chairman of the dress standards committee and the girls ad- visor also belong to the council. Work done for the League is rewarded by placing the names of the girls who have worked faithfully on their committees on the Girls ' honor roll. To have her name on this a girl must have a grade of at least C in all subjects, and have obtained ten points for work in the League. A bronze pin is given to girls who are on the honor roll two sem- esters. Those on the roll four semesters re- ceive for their work a silver pin. The girls who are on the honor roll six and eight times receive for their work a gold pin and a gold pin set with a ruby. The pins are in the shape of the League emblem. Three years ago a song contest was held and the girls adopted as their own, a song written by Lulu Fyhric, which eulogizes the League. A creed has also been chosen which enum- erates the ideals by which the North Central girl attempts to guide herself that she may respect herself and earn trie respect of others. 4 1 - VViHard Bungay to street car conductor: 1 want to be procrastinated at the next corner.

The Federation this semester carried on its work with the usual thoroughness under a capable set of officers. During Boys ' and Girls ' week a very satisfactory program was arranged and carried out, the high spots of activity for the Federation being industrial day and the Hoys ' day parade. A number of very interesting entertainments were put on at the Edgccliff sanitarium. Letters from other schools concerning our Federation have been answered. Any information concerning the the Federation has always been in demand by other high schools and at present the system used at N ' orth Central has been adopted by- schools in many parts of the country. During the W orld W ar, the organization was started for the purpose of helping the boys to meet their obligations to their country in that critical time of strife. After the termination of the war, the Federation was reorganized upon the basis on w hich it now operates. Credit is due Mr. Bradford, boys ' advisor, for much of the success of the organization.
