The course of study for the first year was not very extensive—English, tion, Algebra, Latin, and English History being the only subjects taught. Prof. Harter was the only instructor, and all the recitations were held in the eighth grade room. It was not until December of the same year, however, that the High School was formally organized. ‘This was done by a vote of the people and Noble Harter was chosen supervising principal.

C. Estelle A. Leach, Evangeline Wilson, Harriet Wishard, Ella Mosher, Ada M. P. Chase, and Mrs. Blanche Foster. The Center Street building was occupied for about a month, when the High School moved into the upper floor of the Taylor building, where it remained until April 8, 1907. Bush, Misses The rooms in the Taylor building, while they excelled the previous quarters, were far from being model High School apart- ments. Hach room was heated by a small oil stove, and these stoves were very sus- ceptible to being upset. Consequently, it was no uncommon thing to hear a crashing of glass and see a stove flying through a window, for usually when they were over- turned flames and smoke filled the room, and the building had to be saved at any cost. The north room was especially favored, for every day there was a bon-fire below the window, and often savory odors of burning beef suet, escaping from Hawkins’ meat market, found their way up to the room. The saddest event of the year and perhaps of many school years to come, occurred February 23, 1907, for on that day Noble Harter, our principal and teacher, the founder of the High School and an untiring worker in its interests, died. Although it through his efforts that our High School building was secured, yet he was de- Mr. Bush, the vice-principal, took his place as supervising principal. In the spring of 1907, the Athletic Asso- ciation held its first meeting, with the fol- lowing as officers: dent; Anita Mathis, vice-president; Anna Miller, Carleton Gilbert, treasurer. During this year, also, a track meet was held with Alhambra, this being the High School's first attempt in athletics. Was nied the pleasure of ever entering it. Marion Burns, presi- secretary, and The High School moved into its new building April 8, 1907. Very little time was lost in the change, for the boys were so anxious to move that they did most of the Recitations were held work themselves. until 3:10 Friday afternoon, and on the following Monday school opened in the new building.

The first class of the school was graduated June 26, 1907. It consisted of six students. one boy and five girls. Judge Wilbur gave the address of the evening. School opened in September, 1907, with an enrollment of seventy-five, which in- creased to ninety-three before the year was over. The faculty consisted of Mr. Bush, Mr. S. F. Van Patten, Misses Leach, Wil- son, Wishard, Chase, Mosher, Mrs. Foster.

The boys entered the city section of the County League for the first time and played Al- though no work in football was attempted, through a schedule of several games. the baseball team made a very creditable showing, considering the size of the school. The girls also entered a basket-ball team in the County League. ‘This really was the frst appearance of the scholastic athletics. In mid-winter, a miscellaneous entertain- ment was given by the students of the High School. Early in the spr ing, the members of the Physics and Chemistry classes gave a school in inter- very interesting science entertainment. The proceeds these two entertainments were used to buy decorations for the build- ing. from In June an extravaganza was pre- sented, in which the Seniors took the prin- cipal part. On june 25 a class of eleven students, two boys and nine girls, was graduated. Frank Cc O E A EB O R O NN G. Tyrrell gave the address of the evening. School opened in September, 1908, with 107, 140 before the end of the year. an enrollment of which increased to The follow- ing teachers were employed: Mr. Bush, Mr. Van Patten, Mr. Edwards, Misses Leach, Wishard, ‘Ticknor, Gooch, Chase, and Mrs. Foster. English and Trigonometry were added to the regular courses. History Classes in Physical Culture were first begun, the gymnasium having been finished and partially equipped during the summer. The boys entered a basket-ball and base- ball team in the County League, and the girls played through a schedule of basket- ball While no con- tender for championship honors, all the games. team was a teams succeeded in winning their share of the games. ‘I‘wo representatives were also sent to the Ojai Valley Tennis ‘Tournament, held the first of April. T'wo entertainments were given during the year. In February, a play, “Mr. Bob,” was presented; while in April the students gave the opera, “Iolanthe.” The proceeds in each case were turned into the decoration fund. In the spring of 1909, the long wished for lawn and walks were put in. The bare spot in front of the building had always been an eye-sore, and a lawn was needed in order to show properly the beauty of the building. The present High School was built to accommodate 400 students. In the process of its construction, certain skeptical people sneered at the idea of such a large building. They said it would be ten years before there were a hundred High School pupils in the city. ‘The school today has an en- rollment of 140, yet but two years have elapsed since its completion. There are twenty students in the class which will be graduated in June. Surely with the success already achieved and from the rate at which it has grown during the first five years of its existence, we can indeed predict a bright future for our High School. MARCH IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA He AS ROVE Db Bi BavAw Rae DE aN 1) (Parody on Bryant's Eastern March.) The balmy March is come at dawn, With sun and bloom and changing sky ; I hear the tooting of the horn, As autos through the valley fly. Ah, passing few are they who speak, Mild Sunny Month, in dread of thee; For though thy mounts are white and bleak, Thou art a flow’ry month to me. For thou to southern lands again, The glad and glorious rain may pring; And thou hast joined the merry train, And wear’st the lovely name of Spring. And in thy reign of fog and storm, Smiles many a long, bright, sunny day ; When fragrant winds are soft and warm, From orange groves and new mown hay. Then long and loud the mocker trills, For birds and bees are glad and free; And merry lads come from the hills To take a plunge into the sea. Thou bring’st the joy-in thy calm sky, Of that free time of rosy bowers, When the glad Fiesta draweth nigh, For life is gay in this land of ours. DEDICATED TO, PETE, WILCOX I always hate to walk, For when I move around I have to lift my foot And pui it on the ground. { wish I was a rock; To sleep I don’t despise, But always to enjoy that bliss I have to close my eyes.

CARLETON GILBERT SOCIAL—PERSONALS For the first time in the history of our High School the Senior Class has attempted, through the columns of this publication, to mirror the events of our four short years of our class- education among preparatory mates, alumni, citizens and neighbor schools. It would seem an unwise policy to launch this enterprise without a definite purpose in view, but such a purpose is not lacking and we fear it is more worthy than the instru- ment through which it is heralded. OUR EDITORIAL That an accredited High School with any degree of pride, spirit or ambition should exist without such an organ seemed in- credible, and, realizing that the class taking the initiative in this respect would accrue no little honor and valuable experience to them- selves, we unfalteringly, though not with- out serious reflection and caution, decided that since no preceding class had attempted it, we, the class of ’09, should edit and which should narrate finance a volume S O P ran D E Oe s0 events of the past, record events of the pres- ent, and inspire enterprise and success for the future. We candidly admit that we have slightly the advantage over those who have gone our heels. hefore and those following at aS First, we have advantage in numbers; but, more important than this, in the material which was available for use. Events of the past which up to this time have received no permanent recording are collected between The Class of 1910 obliged to resort more completely to original these covers. will be subject matter, though we doubt’ not that those with whom we have studied, recited and competed are more than capable of “making news” which, wher edited, will present nothing less than a highly creditable appearance. We that an indissolvable desire this Annual shall form bond of friendship and memory between the members of the Class 09; between us and those in our wake; be- tween us and our beloved teachers, one and all, who have assisted in making men and whose association and women of us, with us has materially aided in molding reputable characters, fixing desirable habits and in raising aloft and nurturing worthy ambitions; this, all of this, aside from their salaried mission as instructors. The efficient School Board should not be neglected as a subject of merited praise. jn aie . on his is due them for providing so agreeable, comfortable and well equipped a building in which to receive our instruction. It has been nothing less than a pleasure to occupy “our” beautiful building as students: to en- tertain in it as hosts and hostesses; to praise it as “best” and “ours.” From the appear- ance the grounds are assuming it would seem that they are wisely determined to spare nothing to attain beauty and con- venience. We can not but contrast the present with the past, but are thankful for the incon- veniences of our early years of High School, because of the novel experiences, and a resulting spirit of appreciation of our pres- ent surroundings and enlarged opportuni- ties. Think not of the trials of the editor, though they be many, but rather incline who our attention to the names of those ‘e have so ‘willingly assisted in the production of this volume. It would be impossible to arrange these in the order of the amount of responsibility they have assumed—but, it is needless to say that the business manager has had his share. ‘This in securing ads and subscrip- tions and in making almost impossible mathematical propositions look like “good things” to the Senior, Class. Much credit is due the teachers who have so ably advised the editors in selecting and securing their copy. Fellow students, teams, We can not but mention in a kindly way the engravers classes, have thought for us. and printers who, though they have taken our coin, have also taken an unselfish inter- est in the success of our first publication. Remember our advertisers. ‘hey made this Annual possible. ‘Tell them where you saw their ad. WORTH OR BIRTH? CRANES, WIN IL IES USAR Y OTK) What is it that makes the great men? Is it high birth, nobility, name? No! The man of this age Is he who is sage; It’s the man who is born with a brain. How came Longfellow, Lincoln, and Lowell To be of great worth in their land? It in truth was not rank Which they had to thank For the fame which they held in each hand. Did I say one must first be a scoundrel? Did I say that high birth involved shame? Be you noble or slave, In Gallantry’s cave There is room for the greatest of fame. Then arm yourself right for life’s strugele! Look out on all sides for the best. But remember this, Soul, Let Worth be your goal: And then look above to be blest. c O ie A D E. O R O S. P. H. S.

There were eleven members. These eleven came from eight different states in the Union, viz: Kansas, North Dakota, Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Hlin- Canada. The the were as follows: Mary Gillies from ois and members of class Michigan; Anna Miller from North Dakota; Muriel ‘Trott from from Kansas; Mildred Chase Maude V. Canada; Lillian Hilliard from North Caro- lina; Pearl Crutchfield from Indiana; Bessie Indiana ; Thompson from Farrell from Illinois; Eunice Baldwin a native daughter, but residing in Florida be- fore coming to South Pasadena; Clarence Lewis from Colorado, and Leon Axtman from Illinois. At the close of the school year the grad- uating class gave successfully an extrava- ganza entitled, “The Expedition of the Eleven,’ which was written by Miss Wil- son, a member of the faculty. From the proceeds of the play the class presented to the High School a statue, ‘Winged Vic- tory.” At the close of their High School days, the class of ‘O8 were looking forward to the future with varied hopes and desires. A year has passed and looking over the class, we find the members as follows: Neidia Dedman (hunting around wildly) : I’ve lost my vocabulary. Douglas Richards: I understand this perfectly, Miss—, but I don’t just see this part. (Eng. His.): Mr. Wride, who invented the steam engine? Wride: Watts.

It is for more reasons than one, but one in particular is that the school placed a weighty load of confidence in two of its number and they were found worthy of that confidence. On the evening of March 12th, not a large crowd, but a hopeful and a merry one, journeyed to Whittier, beyond the south- hills, to the scholastic debate of this year’s schedule for our High School. On our arrival we were warmly welcomed and lustily cheered.

LITERARY DEPARTMENT JACK SPRAT, FRESHMAN ENUaNoO RG sk. Av T .K_ I Nes: OLN = 130 Ding! dong! ding! dong! Clear and dis- tinct sounded the bell as it pealed out its notes over the peaceful little college town. Small and calmly still seenged the city, but how full of busy, teaming college life it really was. ‘There, far removed from the great metropolis, the homes, some modest, others of portly dimensions, lie nestled con- tentedly among the green of the grass and the trees. Near the center of the city stand the imposing college buildings; there the library with its great white pillars; yonder, the domitories, and between these, the numerous other buildings. All are pro- tected by the mountains, which stand out formidable against the blue of the morning sky. The last notes of the great bell lingered long, as though loathe to stop those sounds, so familiar and yet so dreaded by drowsy students. But soon the campus began to take life; stray groups of students wan- dered to and fro, glad to be in the cool, in- vigorating air. Still, some there were in the great dormi- tory building of the girls, who refused to “ listen to the call from without. “Marjorie, will you wake up? The first bell rang ever so long ago;” the voice was reproachful; perhaps even cross. No answer came. “Marjorie Wilson! I said it was time for you to get up! Do you hear?” “Oh, do keep quiet, Nell Harrison, and let a person rest in peace.” “But, I say you haven’t time to rest in peace, for the breakfast bell will soon ring and you have your French recitation at eight. You've been late so often that the professor will be asking for an explanation.” “Oh, bother the professor.” “Tl do nothing of the sort.” “Good morning, merry sunshine,” came from the doorway, as a girl entered the room. “Well, bless my soul, if she isn’t in bed yet. ‘The very idea, and it is nearly twenty minutes after seven! Come in here, girls, and help pull Marjorie out of bed!” “All right, here we come,” and with much laughter and diminutive shouts, a_ half dozen girls rushed into the room. “Now, Marjorie,” spoke up one, “we won't molest you if you will only tell us what kind of a time you had last night.” “Ssh, not so loud, please,” hastily inter- posed Marjorie. I had a perfectly splendid time, but—. Well, I'll have to commence at the beginning so as to get in all the events. First, my sister Lela planned a Mother Goose party.” “Of all things for a college woman to go to! “Now, Marie Whitmore, you keep quiet and let me do the talking. I just felt that I had to go and I knew that the Dean would never give me permission to go to it be- cause I’ve overcut already; consequently, I adopted stringent methods. I wrote my brother concerning my troubles and he said he would meet me at the junction with the auto, if I were willing to take the risk. So, when the Freshman- enior reception was at its height, Nell helped me crawl from the window and away I went. I didn’t have any mishaps on the way, but I had enough coming back to make up for it. Lela had promised to prepare my cos- tume and you can’t imagine what she planned me to be.” “Oh! do hurry and tell us. Don’t keep us in such suspense!” cried the girls witli one voice. “Since I am so tall and slim and Lela is so short, I was to be Jack Sprat and she was to be his wife.” A perfect shout of laughter met this an- nouncement. But a voice, an ominous voice, brought a chill over the merriment. “Young ladies, what is the meaning of this unusual disturbance?” “Why, Miss Barnard,” glibly spoke up Marjorie,“the girls came in to pull me out of bed, as I didn’t want to get up this morn- ing. “T see. Please conduct yourselves more quietly after this,’ and with a few piercing glances, she left the room. “Goodness, there goes the bell! Girls, you'll have to help me dress.” Shortly after, the girls, excited as to the real outcome of the escapade, entered the dining-room of the Inn, where all the stu- dents of the dormitories boarded. Passing a table at which were seated some young men, Marjorie gave a start, then a suppressed giggle, but explain her- self, she would not. Upon leaving the room, the girls over- heard some conversation. “I met the fun- niest Freshman last night, or at least he’s going to be a Freshman soon. I can’t re- member his name but it was German. His voice sounded as if he were a sissy, but then if he was, he wouldn’t have been roam- ing around the country after midnight.” That was all they heard, but from Mar- jorie’s dismayed face, the girls gather ed enough information to make them nearly wild with expectation. At last, after a seemingly endless day, they were all gathered in a secluded part of the campus. “Do hurry and finish your story, Mar- jorie,’ hastily spoke Nell. “Where was I this morning when the ‘Dragon’ interrupted us?” “Oh, where you told us that you were to be Jack Sprat,” hurriedly put in two or three of the girls. “You may think it strange, but after I was dressed I made quite a respectable looking Jack Sprat. I had fun, to be sure, and had all the people guessing as to who No one was able to find out my I was. E O R O name and I can assure you, I didn’t inform them and I was congratulating myself up- on the clever way in which I was having an enjoyable time and the ‘powers that be’ none the wiser. “Tt was late when we left—still later when we arrived at the junction. Hal and [ felt certain that at that time of the ‘night we would meet no one, and so took the main road, which is the shortest route to the dormitory. “When we were just within a block or two of safety,, we saw four men coming towards us. Imagine my feelings, for | hadn’t taken the time to change my cos- tume, but had put on one of my brother's long overcoats. ‘There was no escape and the only hope was that they would be strangers. But fate was against us, for three were college boys, those whom we passed this morning, and they were ac- quainted with Hal. The other was——- Professor Perm.” “Marjorie, what did you do?” cried Nell in dismay. “Dove badly frightened. I didn’t do anything. I was too Hal, poor fellow, didn’t know what to do either, but he realized he couldn’t very well tell who I was, so he introduced me as Jack Sprat, who was soon to enter college as a Freshman. He slurred over the name so that you wouldn't have recognized it as being Sprat. I knew I had to play my part, so I changed my voice as much as possible, and said something about Hal being a great friend of mine and that he was piloting me back safely home, as I was not very well acquainted with the town as yet.” “FHow did you ever have presence of mind enough to do it all?” asked one of the girls. “Tm sure I don’t know. I don’t remem- ber how we ever managed to get past them, but we finally did and wandered aimlessly up the street. But when we came to a dark place, we ran for the dormitory as though our lives depended upon it. At last, I was safe in my room. I don’t know whether Hal had the pleasure of meeting ; those gentlemen again or not, but |] sin- cerely hope he didn't.” “What are you going to do?” asked Marie Whitmore. “I can assure you that I am going to keep ‘mum’ until I am compelled to do otherwise. I think it would be a safe plan for us to disperse now. Keep your ears and eyes open for new developments, will you?” “We certainly shall and if you come out of this scrape safely, I'll think you will be able to dare almost anything,” said Helen Halcom. The following afternoon, Marjorie con- fided to some of the girls that she was positive that Professor Perm suspected something. True it was that he had suspicions, for that very afternoon he had a conference with his companions of that night. “Do you fellows take any stock in that Freshman, Jack Sprat, or Sprague, or whatever it is?” “We haven't thought so very much about it, except that we have been keeping a look-out to see if we could find him. What made you ask us? questioned one of the boys. “Well, to tell the truth, I don’t believe there is such a person.” His words fell like a thunderbolt. ‘Don’t think there is such a person? But we saw him,” burst from the three. “Yes, but it was a very pale moon that aided your sight.” “So you think it was some one dis- guised?” “Yes, I think it was some one disguised, and, what's more, I think it was a girl.” “Whew!” “IT leave you to pick out the girl. I am going to call a meeting of the men to- morrow to make sure and—but there goes the bell. I have a clase this very hour.’ “say, fellows, I’ll bet it was Marjorie Wilson if it was anyone and it was her brother, too, you know. My, this is going to prove interesting. So long, until the grand finale tomorrow.” The next morning, Marjorie awoke rather 14 lream last night “Nell, I had and while it was funny, fe was foreboding. depressed. [ dreamt that I was dressed in that Jack Sprat costume and was being chased all around the campus by the faculty, Professor Perm in the lead. He had a long fork with a great piece of fat on it and he was going to compel me to eat it. They were gaining on me and just before the Professor caught me, I woke up.” “Now, don’t you worry. You always did have a knack for escaping penalties and you surely will this time.’ “Hope so, but I have a feeling. Not so very late in the morning, one of the girls rushed up to Marjorie and dragged her to the bulletin board. There, in great letters, was the following: “All men are requested to meet at the “Dorm” at seven prompt.” “There, now, I told Nell that something Was going to happen, but I am not going to confess until I have to, that’s certain.” The girls were greatly excited. Marjorie alone seemed calm. But in the early after- noon when the girls had gathered for a talk, Marjorie rushed upon them, flushed and triumphant, and sank into a. chair. “There’s a new Fres hman come,” she fairly shouted the words, “and his name is John and he has a sissy voice and he knows H:; ru “Now, my dear child, get your breath and calm yourself and then tet us all about it,” put in Nell. “Well, I was passing the Dean’s office and I saw a strange young man there, so I eavesdropped.

I never O Fy A Is O R O knew that girl to get caught at any of her pranks yet,” and Nell walked slowly to her room. ‘ : ; : That evening, the two girls were dis- cussing the events of the day. “I know very well that the faculty, and especially Professor Perm, suspected me,” said Mar- jorie, “but since I am a woman they will give me the benefit of the doubt. I surely am going to be nice to that poor Freshman.” A SECLUDED CANYON TI BE RT HA W. ALL Ker aR iz All is still! The only sound that breaks the solitude is the tinkle of the tiny brook wending its merry course over moss grown stones, and the whisper of the flowers as they brush past each other in the crooning winds. Pines, long standing, have reached a sum- mit to the skies, and in their sweet, hushed solemnity, pause each morning to receive the benediction of the coming day. Be- tween the spaces of the branches, soft, white-flecked clouds are seen chasing each other over the sunny blue, and reflecting their softness in the depths of the mirror below. Farther on, the grasses quiver slightly in the breeze; then! a whir of wings, a flash of light, and a lark has soared upward to meet the sun, awakening the whole earth with his harmonies of song! It was a gloomy crowd that crossed the campus ¢f Harrisburg college after the game with the Westbury nine. There were no colors flying, no shouting was to be heard, and little Stubby Raymond, cap- tain of the team, did not even crack one joke all the way to the gym. On this day had been played the greatest game of the season. Had Harrisburg won, it would have meant the championship for three years in succession, and this meant the privilege of keeping the cup, awarded to them for winning the championship three years in succession. But the cup was lost to their worst enemies, the Westbury nine. Still the path leads ever on and soon a precipice is reached, over which the brook falls in a shining band of glory, reaches the earth below, and singing, bubbling, rip- pling, rushes along, quickly losing itself in the distance. Some blossoms, bolder than the others, swing outward over the rocks, only to be caught by the dashing spray and tossed back again and again, brushing the other flowers with their dewy freshness, and causing the whole place to seem brighter for their boldness. The day wanes, and soon is past. It seems as though the very brook ceases its singing and at Nature’s command relapses into a state of rest! The tall pines sing to each other crooning lullabys, the darkness falls—and all again is still! BR eA Ger Oma N i elas Mie Saturday evening, one week after this, Stubby Raymond sat in his room, reading. The door opened, and a servant stepped in and informed him that Dick Johns, who was manager of the team, wished to see Stubby in Dick’s room. Stub put on his coat and obeyed the summons, knowing Dick had something important to tell him or he would not have broken into his even- ing’s study. “Well, what can I-do for your royal high- ness?” asked Stub on entering. “You must think I’m made to shag around and do your bidding.” Dick seemed to be in deep thought, and, C O P A E O R O eee motioning to a chair, said, “Hear about the game?” “No, what game?” asked Stubby. “The Westburys had it hung on to them today by that team that just entered the league this season. I think they blow from Wilmington.” “That’s good. Rather see them have the championship than the Westies. But what of that? That’s not so much to disturb a fellow for.” “No, but I have an idea, and—” “Really! An idea! Let’s have it quick,” interrupted Stubby, producing paper and pencil. “Don't get sarcastic, but iet a man have the floor. ‘There’s a rumor that we have a pitcher in school. You know that big fellow that entered school a couple of months back? He’s the chap. Been a Freshman four years, and got canned up north for raising a rough-house in the Physical Gig Lab. Mitchell's a good pitcher, but last Saturday he got so rattled in the ninth in- ning that he threw away the game. Now, here is my idea: ‘This pitcher, Benson by name, can play in no league games until a week from Saturday, as he has to be in school here ten weeks. Next Saturday we play Wilmington, and he will then have been here only nine weeks. Aren't you able to make it rain or snow, or can’t you devise some scheme for postponing that game until a week from Saturday? ‘Then we will have a chance to win, and if we beat Wilmington, we will have another whack at Westbury. Of course, I don’t know what kind of a pitc her Benson is, but we will find out Mon- day night. It is my plan to put him in the box when we play the Preps then in the practice game.” “Happy thought,” said Stubby, “but I don’t know of any way to make rain or snow or postpone that game. Probably we'll have luck. But say, Dick, how did you find out about this Benson?” “T have a little friend among the Freshies, and he has a cousin in the school from which Benson came. ‘This cousin writes, in every letter, praises of Benson's pitching, and my young friend tells me about it. Kind of nice to have friends among the Freshmen.” A timid knock was heard on the door, and a Freshman poked his head in and asked if he might enter. “‘No,” said Stubby, “this is no kindergarten.” “Yes, you may,’ said Dick, explaining to Stub that this was the youthful collegiate; was his friend of whom they had just been speaking. All three had a pleasant chat until bedtime, when Stubby Raymond and the Fresh betook themselves to their own rooms. The following Monday, in the practice game with the Preps, Benson was put in the box to try out for pitcher, and he made good. Mitchell now took a back seat, and Benson was the hero of the college. He and Stubby were constant companions, only leaving each other’s presence when they were compelled to. A queer looking pair they made, Benson towering a head or more above Stub, but fairly worshiping him. On Friday, the prayed for rain came, and the game was postponed until a week from Saturday. “Play ball!” said the umpire, and Benson pitched one straight over the plate. ‘The batter hit the ball to the short-stop, who threw him out at first. Harrisburg rooters cheered until it seemed as if their lung's would break. On the bleachers opposite the Harrisburg rooters, the Wilmington sup- porters were very meek. ‘he second man at bat got a hit over short-stop, and the attitude of the rooters was reversed. At the _end of the first inning the score was 1 to O, in favor of Wilmington, and remained the same until the eighth inning, when Harris- burg tied the score. Both sides of rooters now redoubled their cheers, and, at the be- ginning of the last half of the ninth, the Harrisburg end of the bleachers was a mass of banners, hats, handkerchiefs and neckties flying in the air, Benson having fanned three men in succession. Stubby Raymond ran over to Benson and slapped him on the back, grabbed one leg and bade little Percy Studious do the same to the other. Percy dropped his books, which he usually carried with him, and did Stub’s bidding, and to- gether they carried him to the bench. ’‘I'wo men now were up who fanned. ‘What’s the use of making a ten-inning game of Cc O P A E O R O a OE en eS ee this?” asked Stub of Benson, who was now at bat. “Why not end it now?” “Guess I might as well,” responded Benson, and, 1 baseball terms, “he leaned up against the The and the score of this game hickory for a home run.” next man at bat fanned, was 2 to 1, Harrisburg’s favor. Preparations were now in progress for the Harrisburg-W estbury game, to be played in two weeks at Westbury. “lhere’s no use talking,” said Stubby, “there will be dirty I know the Westies. “Yes, the coach, “we'll have to keep Benson’s arm play. ” agreed in shape and also train Mitchell in case we happen to need him. It’s hard to tell what might happen.” Benson’s pitching was the talk of the school, every evening at practice, ¢ and even the Freshies, came out to see his curves. It was Friday evening when Dick rushed Stubby’s dragging into room, holding, or rather Percy Studious, by his coat col- lar. Sippy was rearranging some postal cards in a rack which he had on the wall. He looked up in astonishment and asked, “What's the matter, Dick; can’t you scrape up someone larger to pick on?” “Tt’s not that, Stubby; Percy valuable information.” has some “That's no reason why you should wring his neck. Let him explain.” “It’s this way,” said Percy. “I happened to be at Westbury yesterday visiting my aunt.

The bleachers were packed with rooters.

Much different was the return from this game than from the one five weeks before. Westbury had gone down to disgrace, while Harrisburg had won the cup. THE SEARCH FOR LOST MOMENTS EEE MAS RSG? USER lielane: “Oh, dear, I’ve hunted for hours and I can’t find anything that looks like a golden moment!” cried Edith, and sat down upon a log to weep. “Some people are so easily discouraged,” said a tiny voice at her elbow, and, turning around, she beheld a large gray rabbit. “Well, I think you would be, too, if you had hunted all afternoon, and not only could not find them, but could not find your way out of the wood again.” “I can show you out of these woods,” answered the rabbit, “if that’s all you wish.” Bupaitise not. | I find moments first.” want to those “Then you had better come to the Fairy Queen,” returned Bunny. After motioning her to follow him, he trotted along in and out among the trees until he came to a large elm. “We will have to wait here until dark,” he said, “for the fairies do not hold their festival until then.” He scurried away to a tree near by and returned, followed by another rabbit carry- ing a basket in its mouth. Bunny told Edith to make a seat for PP OmWi kel mle herself in the tall grass and moss about the tree. He then spread the contents of the basket upon the ground. Edith was greatly surprised, for the lunch produced was per- fect.

He explained to Edith that they were all brushed and washed to be nice for the dance. By the time they had resumed their jour- ney, the but the white light of the moon could be seen faintly. woods were dark, soon After traveling some distance, Edith saw lights flickering here and there about an open space not far away in the forest. ‘I'he rabbit asked her to wait where she was until he had seen the Queen and told her Edith. He soon returned and told her that all was well. Upon the edge of the Fairy Court, Edith stopped. about It was in the circular opening surrounded by the high, strong trees of the forest. At one side of the court was a tiny All about its lake of the brightest water. G O P A E O R O Ne) te eB shore, the pretty, vain flowers nodded at their bright reflections in this smooth, nat- ural mirror. Near the lake sat the Fairy Queen in a chair formed by the roots of the high, proud oak. Around her sat her courtiers dressed in their most festive gowns. Not only fairies were there, but all the small animals of the forest had come. At one side sat the orchestra—the grass- hoppers, who were the fiddlers; the crickets and frogs, who were the singers, and the blue-bells, who chimed in now and then with their silver tinkle. Bunny led Edith forward and, bowing low, presented her to the Queen. The voice of the Queen, as she answered Edith, reminded her of the bubbling of water, the faint ringing of bells, and the murmur of leaves as the wind stirs them. She felt quieted at once and all the daze and fear left her. The Queen asked Edith her errand and, upon being told, said: “My dear, I have no doubt that you will find what you seek in the Land of the Lost Moments. But, although I should greatly rejoice in doing so, I cannot help you find them, for I have no power in that land. It is ruled by the Imps in the underground world and they are very disagreeable about giving up any- thing in their power. The most I can do is to see that you safely reach the entrance of their land, for while you are there, my help would not aid you in gaining what you seek.” ‘The Queen then led Edith to the lake and called softly. A large, black fish came to the top. “You are to take this child to the entrance of the Dwarfs’ Land,” she told it. She then threw a huge black cloak about the girl. “Keep this well about you and your journey through the water will be a safe one,” she said, and bade Edith good- bye. Down, down went Edith, keeping tight hold of the strings in the fish’s mouth. At last she felt the fish stop and heard it tell her to throw off the coat. She did so and found herself in a tunnel under the ground. She walked along until the tunnel widened and she entered another portion, where everything was beautiful. Colored lights flashed everywhere and the walls were carved in gold and silver set with precious stones. Near the end of the tunnel, she met a most hideous dwarf. Edith was greatly frightened when he asked her what she wanted and she stammered that she wanted to find the king of the Land of the Lost Moments. He asked what her errand was and when it had been told, said: “Well, you won't get it, but I suppose I must take you to the king.” He led her through the widening passage and past other dwarfs who were almost as hideous as her guide. They were all digging for gold and precious stones. At last the passage stopped and they were at the edge of an underground city. Every- thing was shining and bright. Each dwarf had a tiny hut of his own and all sur- rounded the royal palace, which was built of gold and silver. The sun did not reach this underground city, so bright lights were hung everywhere. “You will not be taken to visit the king for some time,” the dwarf told her, “so I shall have to take you to a hut where you will stay while I go to the king.” As he said this, they stopped in front of one of the huts which the dwarf bade her enter. ‘The hut contained one small room in which was a table, a bed of straw, a low stool, and in the corner, a cupboard. A tall candle afforded the only light. Although bare, the room and its contents were very clean and orderly. The dwarf brought a cup of milk, a loaf of coarse brown bread, and a small comb of honey, which he placed upon the table. He seemed so cross and grumbled so much that Edith told him he need not bring her anything, but he merely glared at her and left the hut. While Edith was seated at the table, much discouraged and unhappy, a bee flew into the hut and settled himself on the € O Re A E O R O honey. Edith drew back, for she was afraid of bees. “You need not fear me,” buzzed the bee, “for I come from the Fairy Queen. She commanded me to stay with you and help you.” This cheered Edith very much and she finished her lunch in better spirits. “T think, as long as the dwarf has not returned, that we might look about a bit,” said Busy, the bee. They peeped through the door, and, as no one was in sight, started down the path. As they neared the palace, they saw people running to and fro, while some crawled about on the ground as if hunting ror something. “You stay here and I will go ahead and see what the trouble is,” said Busy. Soon he returned and told Edith that tne king had lost his seal ring and was very angry. “In that case, I don’t think I had better meet him soon, for he is not likely to be agreeable,” replied Edith. “No, but you might hunt for the ring,” exclaimed Busy. They both hunted everywhere and were about to give up, when Edith discovered something bright, shining in the grass. “Here it is,’ she cried, and pounced upon it. “Now, I think you are likely to win what you wish,” Busy told her. No one noticed them as they entered the palace and they passed down the wide hall to where voices issued from a room near the end. Edith entered and then stopped. In the middle of the room the king paced about, now and then stopping to look into some- thing or to peer under a chair or table. He was somewhat taller than the other dwarfs, much heavier, and much uglier. His head and shoulders were out of proportion with the rest of his body. His nose was short and thick; his eyes bright and deep- set,-and his heavy, thick lips drooped, giv- ing him a cross, sullen look. He had not heard Edith enter and almost bumped into her while walking about the room. When his attention was attracted, he scowled fiercely and asked her who she was and why she was there. She told him her errand and begged him to help her. “Bah!” he growled, when she_ had finished, “I won’t help you, so get out of my country directly, for ’'m busy hunting for my ring.” “But, sir, | would help you find it, if you would do this,” cried Edith timidly. “Well, if my own people can’t find it, then you can't, either.” “But, I have it now,” and she opened her hand and showed him the ring. The king jumped forward to take it, but Edith told him that he must promise her the wish first. At this the king scowled but finally said, “That’s fair enough. Come on.” They passed through a door into a large room. It was of the brightest gold, but tarnished and darkened. Upon the floor sat tiny creatures much like the dwarfs, but better formed. ‘Their golden robes were dirty and tarnished and a look of loneliness and despair was upon their faces. “’These moments have been neglected and lost by the people from your world,” the king informed her, “and they are very sad and discouraged when they come here.” “Why do they come here?” questioned Edith. “Because they may never be found by mortals again.” “Then may I not have my three lost moments?” “No, for none may be returned. You must go back and use the moments as they pass, for none may come back to you. Here is another ring I will give you in exchange for mine. When you forget my warning or become discouraged, look at this.” The exchange was soon made and Edith left the king in better spirits. “Even though my journey was long, the advice given me was worth it. You may be sure I shall not let any moments escape,” said Edith to Busy, as they left the city on the return journey from the Land of the Lost Moments.

Repke lee N eee Giorgio was now a prominent citizen of ale was not fond of repeating the story of his Chicago, but he had not been so always. early life, and but very few knew it. How- ever, Giorgio could not always conceal his violent disposition, and people often won- dered what his past history could have been. Giorgio was an Italian, but he did not class himself as one now. America had done much for him, and through his power- ful will arisen to the highest social and _ political step of the ladder. and love for achievement he had His determination was going to keep him there, too. It happened that the Giorgio family had a long, unavenged hatred for the Scipio family, so it was handed down from father to son to revenge the wrong. It was now left to the present Giorgio, and he, true to his nature, had solemnly vowed to kill the remaining Scipio and to thus end the feud. To do this he had journeyed to America in That found an opening for fame and fortune. search of Scipio. is how Giorgio For some time he nursed the thought of how he was to kill Scipio, and, in his mind, committed the horrible deed a number of times. As he sat alone in his miserable earret, when he was still only one of a throng, a despicable Italian street sweeper of Chicago, he would carefully take from his pocket the sacred weapon given ‘to him by his father. told, was the one with which Scipio had This weapon, he had been done so much harm, and now it was the weapon which should pay back th e deed. When he took it from his vest it was noth- ing more than an every-day kitchen butcher knife, with a worn handle, but a still sharp However, Giorgio’s him and he and dangerous blade. butcher knife was sacred to cherished it and kept it sharp. When opportunity knocked at his door, he was willing to open it, and little by little Giorgio climbed the ladder, though some- times it seemed that it was unsteady and would fall. Now he was at the top, a promi- Ree Oe Greens) yl 0 nent merchant in Chicago, a noble citizen, quite Americanized and educated. What a contrast to the old Giorgio! Through all these years of toiling, the sacred butcher knife had been put away, and, as Giorgio’s mind developed, he forgot its this knife and all his culture One day he was suddenly reminded of ranished and, for awhile, the vicious Giorgio of many years before was within him. Giorgio, like many prominent citizens, was a decided fiend. He loved nothing more than to see his own team win baseball and was always a pleasant supporter for them. As he sat in a box one day with the Mayor, impatiently waiting for the game be- tween Chicago and New York to begin, the Mayor pointed out the new pitcher, whom the Chicago manager had just obtained. “Ves, he was a western man, quite un- known until just lately. Why, he will show the whole league what real pitching is.” “Perhaps you would like to meet him,” but as the Mayor turned to Giorgio, he was frightened, for the latter’s face expressed rage, his eyes were like fire and his hands were clenched. ‘The old Giorgio had re- turned and was so unlike the refined and popular man he had just been that it fright- ened the Mayor. Poor Giorgio could not help this, for be- fore him, the famous pitcher, warming up for the game, was Scipio—Scipio, the man upon whom he was to take his The butcher knife came before him, and he thought of his father and his duty, but another day would do for him to kill Scipio; now he must see the Chicago players win. He watched the game and, after a tie of fourteen innings had been played, he entered revenge. his-automcobile and was driven to his home. Late that night, all alone, he crept to the attic, and there, in an old trunk, found the treasured butcher knife, 38 x a ok xk sharp as ever. The game had just begun for finishing the tie, and there was Giorgio with the Mayor © O P A E; O R O Se in a front box, holding tight to his pocket, which contained the cherished knife. He had his plans made, but for once his plans were to fail. The game was well along and all the cheers were for Scipio.

Then they turned to see Scipio tearing across second base, win- ning his own game. He need not hurry, however, for the ball went so far that he was safely home and resting when it re- turned. Scipio, the pitcher, had made the biggest hit known for years in the baseball world and the spectators appreciated it and crowded around him in thunder-struck awe. Giorgio was with the crowd, and when Scipio was tearing around the bases the former was jumping and shouting with real delight, calling Scipio all the endearing names a baseball star generally gets, and, with much vigor, gesticulating wildly with the sacred butcher knife. The Mayor was astounded, “Why, look what you are doing! hacked the railing nearly to pieces with Where did you get it, and what are you doing with it here?” Giorgio, too excited to answer, leaped over the railing and soon was shaking the hand of Scipio, vowing to himself that this was a real ball player and one he would support all his life as a friend.

The traveler wore a large Spanish cloak, which nearly covered both man and beast, and a large hat, pulled low over the head. A mysterious air prevailed about him and finally steep hill, he urged the mule faster, but when he perceived a village on a turned his course from it.

The mule, having been fastened to the saddle of one of the others, they galloped away, cloaks and scarfs fluttering in the wind. ‘he stars were beginning to shine and, as business seemed urgent, they spurred their horses on—down paths which led around dizzy precipices, without any- thing to guard them from falling into the gulfs below; past bristling pines and chest- nuts, down to the sea. Here they waited, straining their eyes seaward until they distinguished dark bulks of a ship. They led the mule back to a sparkling. out her hands, then mounted clump of bushes, where each one drew from his cloak a lantern and swung it twice from left to right and then extinguished them again.

The credit for the organization of the association must be given entirely to Mr. Bush, as he suggested its formation and assisted in framing the Constitution and By-laws. Since the first year there have been two annual elections of officers.

The object of the association is to center management and responsibility of the school’s athletics on those interested in the same, with authority to act; to afford means c O fe A D for securing funds and to see to their proper disbursement, and to promote interest and enthusiasm in clean athletics. Money has been raised in various ways to support the association. An initiation fee of fifty cents is charged and dues are ten cents a month. ‘The association has also given plays and entertainments which have netted Al- though we do not as a rule make money on our baseball quite an amount of money. and basketball games, we generally manage to pay expenses from the gate receipts. The business men of the town have been very loyal to our teams and have con- tributed greatly to our support in both a moral and financial way. Membership is open to all High School students and it is to be hoped that every one will join next year. Honorary mem- bership is also a feature of the association enrollment. Such members are subject to the same requirements on joining, but are not eligible to compete in any of the inter- scholastic events, nor are they required to maintain a certain monthly scholarship in E O R O —- three subjects, as are the members wishing to take part in the school athletics.

He was early admitted to the bar and staid there most of the time. At the beginning of this year the Ath- letic basket Association decided to organize a ball County League, just to see what we could do with team and enter the the few we had to pick from. Wellford Seay was elected captain and Ira Thomas, manager. After a few tryouts the first team was picked as follows: Well- ford Seay and Harvey ‘Tadlock, forwards: Ira Thomas, center; Chester Horton and Claud Hunter, guards; and Carleton Gilbert, John Coots, and Edwin Lawyer, substi- tutes. Considering that not one of the team had ever had any experience in the game before, we did very well for the first year’s the dif- work. We won four games during season, out of games played with ten ferent schools, Following is a record of some of the games played: Harvard 27, South Pasadena 18: Alham- bra 19, South South Pasadena 32; Los Angeles 8, South Pasadena 40; Pasadena 18, Pasadena 5; Throop 11, South Pasadena 14: Pasadena 4, South Pasadena 50: Hollywood 16,.50uth, Pasadena 14.90.

THE JOHNSTON-SAYLOR GAME. The best played and most exciting games on the High School grounds this year have been between two nines composed of busi- ness two of our most dist inguished citizens, Bill men. ‘These teams were captained by Henry Johnston, city marshal, and Daniel Webster Saylor, the building inspector and “near marshal.” In this connection it might also be stated that Bill Henry is the ex-chief of the “Fire Department.” Two games were played and Saylor claims to have won both, but they were protested by Johnston on the ground that Saylor did not have on a regulation uniform, and also, that he saw Saylor give Umpire Lancaster a chew of tobacco. These are both serious offenses, but Johnston should be a “sport” and quit his kicking. No de- tailed scores were kept, because Cox could only count to ninety-eight and no one else had time to bother about such a trifle. The however, were what made the games interesting. Mr. G. W. Lawyer, wearing a new suit 2nd a pair of kid gloves, picked up everything—except the ball—that came towards third. His sliding to bases was also a delightful sur- prise. He slides in a peculiar manner on his left eye-brow, and Sid Foster could profit Johnston also pulled off individual features, by watching him. many pretty plays, and his batting was a feature. However, where he shone was in the coaching box and when kicking at the ump’s decisions. Prof. Bush, at short-stop, was the idol of the bleachers, and his one- handed stops brought forth loud applause from the assembled multitude. All the foregoing features were good, but the real noise, the only original candy kid, the star ef the game, was Daniel Webster Saylor, Esq. His fielding was good, his bat- A D E O R O eee ee ting was better and his base running—well. it passes description. The way Dan burned the ozone while tearing around the paths was great to behold. He have made the circuit of the bases—b: cutting claims to first and second—in one minute and twelve but many. Dan’s grace and agility on the bases was in- deed a sight for seconds, this is doubted by sore eyes. Instead of For the first time in the history of our school we had representatives in the Ojai tennis tournament, which was held the first part of April. This tournament is the most important, from an inter-scholastic stand- point, of any held in Southern California, as the winner is recognized as the Southern California champion. Our representatives were Wellford Seay and Harold Huntington and, considering that neither had ever been in a tournament before, they made a remark- ably good showing. “Brick” won his first match by default and was unfortunate in having to go up against Mace of where Bookenoogen goes—in his second match, Occidental—the school Of course he could not expect to win this match, t ut he made a good showing. “Duff's” first match was with Moulton of Pomona. ‘This was won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. The second match was with Loud of Riverside. Seay alsé won this match in Straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. The third round brought Seay against Kendall of San Diego. “Duff” lost this match only after a hard, three-set fight. ‘The score was 5-7, 7-5, 6-2. It has been whispered around that “Duff” ate too much lunch that day and conse- sliding, he rolls, as it is much quicker and safer.

As it was, Harvard won out by the score of 14 to 5. The results of the matches were as fol- lows: In the first doubles, Fife and Schaefer of Harvard beat Seay and Huntington of South Pasadena, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Heron and Lovett of Harvard beat Collins and Barden of South Pasadena, 6- —, 6- —, in the second doubles. Seay of South Pasadena beat Fife of Harvard in the first singles, 6-0, 6-3.

Basketball this year afforded us a great deal of pleasure as well as a little glory, as the first victorious game the South Pas- adena girls have known was played this year with Santa Monica. ‘This game was played December 5, 1908, on the Monica 14-8 in The oposing team was more than any team with which we have played this sea- Santa court and resulted favor of our girls. evenly matched with our own son and occasioned more pleasure and interest to players and spec- consequently tators than one less evenly matched. Our girls met nearly all the other teams of the city section of the L. A. County Ath- letic League, and though they were not successful in carrying off another victory, some of the games were so closely contested as to occasion intense interest and bring no little honor upon themselves. Any seeming discredit, which might have at- tached itself to the team because of any score, should rather be laid at the door of misfortune, in that it is quite impossible, in the short time, to train and pick from the candidates a first team. However, the girls, many of whom were inexperienced, took the disappointment and defeat in a sportsman- like manner. We have hopes, plans and ambitions as well as considerable experience, to aid in for a victorious next preparation season year. six girls from each class the coming year, Among our plans, we desire to have so that frequently there can be played on our Own court inter-class games which will instigate more enthusiasm and more spirit in this feature of our school life. We also better first team and propose soon to start a fund for want new and suits for our that purpose, so that an early beginning in next season’s practice will be facilitated. To consummate this end we will need the assistance of every member of the school.

However, the Seniors were not long in deciphering the fact that on the evening of June 13, ‘08, they were expected to be on the roof garden at the South Pasa- dena High School. Arriving there on the appointed evening they were met by demure little Japanese maidens attired in their best silk robes. The roof garden was a Japanese fairy-land, with lanterns and flags overhead, and rugs, pillows and ferns beneath. By means of shadow pictures the Seniors were shown themselves as others would see them ten years hence. Not the least enjoyable feature of the evening were several gro- tesque dances by one of the boys of the Jun- ior class. Tea was served at all hours and the can- dies and ices were true to the Seniors’ colors—gold and white. Every one voted the evening a decided success and the Sen- iors promised the Juniors a joyful remem- brance in the dim and distant future. “Ot AN EEE?

Strawberries, beefsteak, and alcohol were frozen by it.

Each Senior and each mem- ber of the Faculty received a mysterious letter containing instructions to be at the Onecnta Park station at 5:30 on the evening of June the fifth. On arriving at the appointed place we found the Juniors await- ing us, ready to lead us, we knew not where. However, we took a desperate chance and followed them, the first stop being about two blocks distant, at the home of Dwight Baker. We found tables both on the porch and in the house, and immediately set about hunting our places. When we were seated, soup was served, which indeed tasted good after our fast of a week, for we had pre- pared for the expected. After this course we drew for partners and were led away to the home of Edwin Lawyer on Monterey Road. Here we found more tables awaiting us, and again we This time the meat and, naturally, we “ate till all was after our long, long walk we be prepared to eat.” course was served, gone,” for were very hunery. fo a, went forth on our way to the home of Mr. John Jones.

After enjoying ourselves at the expense of Jonathan and his grandparents, we again went through the ordeal of drawing partners and then “hiked forth” to where dessert was served and entertainment provided. Cartoons of the and faculty were thrown on the screen, which were greatly enjoyed by the Juniors, but towards the last we were allowed to laugh Harold Barden’s home, Seniors at cartoons of the Juniors. However, the most pleasant surprise of the evening was the showing on the screen of baby pictures It was a difficult and humorous business trying to guess the of the “near graduates.” names of the dear, sweet babies, as no one cared to assume the responsibility of guess- ing the one whose picture was shown.

Our boys are playing well today, The score is looking great ; Which one belongs to our side, The three, or is it eight? Anita Mathis: I know Ill have to take geom. exams., because when Miss Wishard met me in the hall she put her arms around me, kissed me and looked at me sorrow- fully. Cooper: I wish I had to take the exam. Jcnes (in drug store): I want a cherry choc five. C O I A D HIGH SCHOOL DICTIONARY Queener—Most often used word around the High School.

O FIRE DRIVE “Tn case the fire gong should ring,” SD 5 fo) The teacher said one day, “Don’t carry books or anything, 7 a? But quickly get away.” The gong it rang, the pupils rose, And started on their flight. Dwight forgot, and in his hand His history held tight. When in the hall, well on his way, His memory returned. “T'll take it back,” he quickly thought, “No matter if it’s burned.” And well he did; for if by chance He once should disobey, The shock would prove too much for him And us, for that’s his way. PAINLESS _DENTISTRY Poor Chester had the tooth-ache, He thought he sure would die; So he hied him to the drug store, Some candy for to buy. “A quarter’s worth of chocolates,” We oft have heard him say, “Will cure the hardest tooth-ache In less than half a day.” And if you don’t believe it, Just try it when you can; Tis wonderful what chocolates Can do for aching man.

But the Prof. he said, with a sigh of pain, “You can't ditch exams when vou act like Cain, You cant spend your noons at Jeffrey’s arena And hope to go to Catalina.” What made Foster blush when Mr. Van Patten asked him why he was not at base- ball practice?

The lowing cows were long since fed, And sheltered for the night, ‘Neath yonder heaven's sheltering herd Of stars so silvery bright. ‘he heavens were light and all was still, And through the silent night The click and splashing of the mill Was heard ’bove the owlet’s flight. ‘he silence was broken and all grew dark, A flash of light then smote the sky, And a sharp crash of thunder from heaven pealed forth, And a mighty storm was surging high. It raged and raved all through the night, But in the early morning bright he sun shone down and all below Lay sparkling in the rain drop’s glow.” Each little leaf and each little flower Sprang forth from every shaded bower, ‘o catch the beams of sunny light Which came to us to bless our sight.

DREAMLAND LEVAS UEREAS RIORY (aE) aiZ When I sit in the gathering twilight By the fireside’s ruddy glow; When the shadows of evening merrily Chase each other to and fro; When I close my eyes to life’s duties With never a thought of. care, Then I, with farewell to the dull old world, To the land of fancy repair. [ float on a fleecy cloud, Far from events of the day, And the realms of fanciful dreams, I reach with short delay. Oh, the pleasures I enjoy, In my frequent journeys there; or the land of faney is bright, And the land of fancy is fair. The things I would like to know, And the lands I long to see, By the fairy queen of fancy’s land Are always revealed to me; And I sail in a fairy boat, Far out oe’r a fairy sea, Till [ reach those distant enchanted lands That I oft have longed to see. On the island of fancy I roam, The domain of my fairy queen, Will the sun its parting rays sends Far o'er my land of dreams. Then no longer I see my fanciful craft, The enchanted isle fades away, And | find myself surrounded by The commonplace tasks of the day. Oh, the land of fancy is bright, And the land of fancy is fair, Yet it fades away in a misty vale And leaves us our trials and our care; The old world claims our choicest hours, And “Time is gold,” it seems, Yet the happiest hours of our spend, Adrift, on the sea of dreams. lives we UNCEE SAM Says Pasteurized Milk Saves Lives U.S. Hygenic Laboratory Bulletin No. 41, Milk and Its Relations to Publ’c Health, says, page 628: Little by little the idea is spreading that raw [uncooked, un-Pasteurized or certified Ed.] milk is apt to be dangerous milk. Page 499: In skilled hands the Tuberculin test will show at least nine-tenths of all cases of Tuberculosis. Page 497: The few failures do not react because of the slight effect of tuberculin on an advanced case. Page 598: Tubercle Bacilli, micro organ- isms causing Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria, Dysentery, Cholera, etc., are all rendered harmless by heating. It is fortunate that the thermal death points of bacteria are below those of the ferments [enzymes, life, or germicidal properties Ed.] in milk, for in this way all infectiousness may be de- stroyed without devital'zing the milk. Pasteurizing reduced infant mortality proportionately from 20 to 5 or 8 at Vienna (Page 238). Reduces death rate from 69.3 to 27.9 in France (Page 609), and from 44.36 pr ct. to 19.80 pr ct. at Randall's Island, New York (Pages 613 and 237). Pasteurized milk is more digestable. (Page 669). Scurvy and rickets cannot be laid at the door of Pasteurization. (Pages 626 and 672.) It is in Gastro intestinal diseases from which 40 per cent of infant mortality arises that Pasteurization saves the most baby lives. (Pages 609, 613, 633.) It is important to remember that Pasteurization will NOT make BAD ot STALE milk good. (Pages 673 and 627.) Some local health officers and physicians are so ignorant or misinformed that they often recom- mend un-Pasteurized milk. RAAB CREAMERY feels proud of the persecution it has stood in fighting the cause of the babies. Our Pasteurizing milk has saved many a baby life.
