This was the PP result of the two minute's inspection Red Trent, track captain of the Jaxon High, had given his crossed ankles. Bert Gratton, departing hurdle champion, looked pretty black and impressive, but he accepted this laconic information as the expected 4 thing, and said nothing. Red, meeting no obsta- cle, pressed his advantage. VVe'll push Knox as a winner-you know he's next bestg and you let him pass you-trip on a hurdle- no one will know the diffs. We can't-give Harmon that hurdle record, and if you hurdle for them and lluke, we've got it. Bert k1lCW that Trent was rambling on, but he paid only half attention, for he had already decided. -for Iaxon, you know, finished Red. Bert rose as his train rumbled in. I'll do it for Jaxon, 'Red'. Then he turned to his track mates, who had been standing aloof dur- i11g this conversation. They shook hands, and expressed in rather boisterous fashion, their sorrow at his leaving, but he knew what it was worth and was glad, for he had a boy's hatred of gushing Dart- ings. They encircled Trent and, led by him, gave the dear old ,Taxon yell g then Bert was gone. He heard the three cheers as he mounted the platform, but he went inside until the train started, then reap- peared and waved his hat with a forced gaiety from the last car. Trent's scarletsweater was the last spot of color he saw-he thought he should never forget it. There was a great bitterness in his heart, and leaning against the door, he stared at the flying land- scape and saw nothing. But Gratton was leaving ,Taxon forever- and he had been an idolized athlete for three yearsf And now he was going to Canada-to Harmon High, j'axon's rival each season at the big interscholastic meet. For his father's ideas of parental 8 TI-IE TAHOMA authority had forced him after a year's rebellion, to follow the family into Canada. His father, he thought bitterlyjsat in a big sepulchre of a bank all day and had no respect for the foolish patriotism that kept his son at Iaxon, but I'll never win for Harmon-never, he determined. I These thoughts were disturbing enough, but there was Nan, too. He had said good-bye to her that morning, but she had not looked really sorry. She was like that-never let anyone know what she felt -always bantering. And yet Bert was very sure that she cared, perhaps not a little, and he had a hazy idea that this was not the last of their friendship. Indeed, Bert was a trifle confident, as best he- comes idols. . It was sort of decent, after all, to see the folks, and the gray old banker was pleased to see Bert. He had gone up to Harmon with a perfectly well-defined line of procedure. He would be rather scorn- iul, acquire no friends, and surprise them all with his hurdling, make the team, and go to the meet for Harmon. Then he would fluke, sacrifice honors and reputation in a splendid martyrdom, and only Trent would know, though all .Taxon might suspect the truth. As the first week passed, his scorn was wearing through, and he discovered that he was enjoying life against his sentimental will. The fellows were princes, and marvelled at his hurdling skill. n Two weeks before the great track meet the Harmon captain, a grave, slow-spoken fellow, announced that Bert would enter as the' only hurdler from Harmon. He accepted it gravely. You see, we're pretty sure of you, Grattonf' drawled Brown. Yes, Bert answered, but generous old Brown did not note the ironic inliection of the reply, and everything went on enthusiastically at the big Canadian school. The boys left for the States early in the morning the day of the meet. They were escorted from the train bv a delegation of Taxon students in automobiles. on which the Canadian red and gold pen- nants flapped side bv side with the Taxon blue and white. Gratton knew most of the fellows who had met them. and they were glad and surprised to see him. It will be funny to see old Bert hurdling for the Canucks, he overheard. and he smiled wrvly. A full half hour before the first events Bert, in his track suit. watched the familiar crowds fill in the old favorite places. He recog- nized manv, though few knew him. Thev onlv saw a striking fellow lounging against a pile of hurdles. watching themiwith interest over arms folded across his red and gold maple leaf on his sweater, the i T I-I E T A I-I O M A 9 insignia of the Canadian school. He knew Nan would be there to cheer for him. Suddenly he saw her, seated very near the slight wall which bounded the arena, and with her was Billy Knox-Knox that was to pass him! He watched them until he had attracted Billy's attention. Knox stared, looked away, then, excusing himself to Nan, he lifted his hat, leapt the rail, and came over to Bert. Nan had not seen him. Didn't know you for a second, remarked Billy gaily, as they shook hands. Then, without any preliminaries, he plunged straight into the thing Bert wished to avoid. I don't like this stunt, Bert, it looks crooked to me: but if itis for Jaxon'it's got to go. But the dog-gone part of the whole business is, I'll get all the glory and dope, and, great heavens! I'm only a second-rate pawn in the game. And Billy scowled. Aw, cut it out, you're getting sentimental, Billy, grinned' Grat- ton. But cheer up. You'l1 have to go some,'though. I don't intend to 'fluke until I show'em what I can do. And he sauntered off to the dressing rooms to get rid' of Billy, who in turn went over to the jaxon quarters in the opposite side. Bert had not seen Trent yet -and hoped not to. The fellows in the dressing rooms were in high spirits. They joked each other, lost their shoes, found them, then lost some one else's in their hurry. The hurdles were to be the second of the events. the sprint trials to be first. The other boys hustled out that they might miss nothing, leaving Bert with Brown, who had never been on time in his slow, deliberate life. But Bert liked him, and as he watched him carefully lacing his track shoes, he contrasted him with jerky little Trent with his small tight face and laconic speeches. Brown was straightening his sweater so that the maple leaf might be more i.n evidence, and smiling at Bert, said, Hard lines, Bert, running against your old school, but- All out for the hurdles -and Brown's condolences were cut short, to Bert's great relief. Together they hurried out and across the field to the Iaxon side for the line-up. The tension of weeks was relaxing, and Gratton became strangely excited. I-Ie set his teeth hard to keep them from chattering, and a nerve in his eyelid twitched unceasingly. As he knelt in line, some one remarked, Gratton means business 5-look at that face. Knox, who heard, did look at the keen prohle in line with him, and noted the set muscles and the pallor of the skin g' but he also saw that the' eyes looked not ahead but slightly to the left, and straight across the arena I0 THE. TAI-IOMA at Nan. And it seemed to Bert that she too looked back at him across railing, and Bert knew he must pass her. I A The shot, and they were off-allieven for the first hurdles, Knox and Gratton ahead and even, for the second, Gratton ahead for the third. The Canadians in the stand went crazy, the-hopes of three years materializing below them. The old exhiliration was upon Bert, and he ran for the sheer joy of it, but Knox could not keep up with him, and so he had to slacken impercetptibly. Billy felt it, and just as they neared the place where Nan stood, he passed Bert. The Jaxon pennants waved frantically and their yells now drowned out the minority of the Harmonites. Gratton glanced up at Nan, but she was looking at Billy with something in her eyes that he had never seen, and he distinctly heard her voice above all the howling-her voice unsteady with anxiety., Oh, Billy, Billy ! she cried. Instantly Bert's purpose changed. He saw things differently. His school love vanished like mist before the sun. Knox was a half dis- tance ahead of him--Knox whose pace was ridiculous, Whose record had never been penciled, and whom girls cheered-he, Bert Gratton. to lose all to him. It was idiocy. So he reasoned as he ran. Angry, jealous, outraged, he leapt ahead. Not because he honored the gold maple leaf over his heart, but that same spirit which had pushed him to sacrifice the honors due him for his school's sake, now rushed him on to wing to save something of himself-his own that was receding from him to nothingness. They were nearing the last hurdles, and with the dash of his old record he passed Knox, who, astonished, tried in vain to catch up. Five yards more, and the tape thrilled across Bert's outstretched hands and he had won. Iaxon had lost the hurdles for the first time. The Canadians were frantically delighted. He was pounded and hammered by enthusiasts. The other stragglers slunk off without a cheer. The race was played by two. Bert went to the shower room, wholly indifferent to the results of the other events. Huhl no wonder Billy was squeamishf' he mused, as he dressed. And cold and smileless, he came out again into the sunlight. Though he watched the broad jumpers with apparent interest, he still thought of Nan's words. But Trent-he had forgotten Trent until that instant. Xvhen the dragging afternoon was over and the crowd began to scatter, he started to followpthe Harmon men to their dressing rooms: 'IHE TAI-IOMA ll then he saw Trent ahead of him stop, turn and wait. As he came up to him Bert did not speak. Trent sneered. You're a swell sport, you are! But Gratton looked past him indiiferently and walked in. He sighed with relief. That was over and the words had not cut at all. Oh, Bert wait! suddenly thrilled him. It was Nan, and he did Wait. He tried to be cool, but the frank eyes were too friendly and he took the impulsive hands she held out. Oh, I'n1 so glad you wo11, Bert ! And she colored. I wanted you to win, and I wanted Iaxon to win, and I didn't know which I wanted more 'till Billy passed you. Then you were just being patriotic, huh? when you cheered for Billy. No-no. I wasn't really cheering-I was just afraid he was going to win and in And you wanted me to, Nan? looking narrowly into the gray eyes nearly level with his own and beautiful with all candor. She flushed again, tried to laugh, and then admitted, Yes, Bert, I did. I - 3 , ' S . I2 TI-IE TAI-IOMA Promise VE sat upon the porch railing. She was watching the dauby streaks of red and green and violet in the sunset. Beside her sat the God of Promise. He was with her always. There was the charm of mystery about him, and his presence was glowing always with the promise of things to come. The sunset faded into dusk tints. The girl watched a tiny patch of blue above her until the heavy clouds closed over it and it was all gray. Yes, that's the way, she mused, bright blue for a mo- ment, and then the gray clouds again. She laughed. She seemed one of those rare people who never take their own philosophy seriously. But the god was always grave and his eyes were bright with understanding. She jumped from the railing and flung her arms high above her head. She was very young and full of the joy of things. Her eyes were shiny with high lights, and her lips were veryired. She ran into the house and locked the door of her room. UOI1. if you would only tell me, she cried. But no, I don't want to know g-it's the mystery, the glorious mystery that fascinatesf' These are only preliminaries, she told herself. There is so much, life is so full, there is not a moment to be lost. She wrapped her arms about the god and hugged him tight. The time passed quickly for Eve. Her life had never been so crowded before. Que day some one noticed that her eyes were bright as if they had been polished, and her lips were scarlet. It's only the excitement, she told them. But they told the doctor to drop in on his way home. He was very jolly and laughed at her protestations. How long have y-ou coughed like that? he questioned. She had not noticed it. It was such a little cough. It had been there for weeks, though, and it did tire her, but she had not time to be sick, she told him. D TI-IE. TAI-IOMA I3 You have been sick a very long time, Eve, he said. A very long time. I She laughed defiantly. I'll be all right to-morrow. I canit bear to waste ra day in bed-life is so short! But when the morrow came Eve was tired. Now that her atten- tion was called to the cough, she noticed how it racked and' sickened her, and her body ached with a dull, heavy ache. The doctor was all smiles. Just a little while longer, he said. There were times in the weeks that followed when the gray clouds came, but the eyes of the God of Promise glittered always when she sought them, and she waited for to-morrow. It was golden June outside. They put Eve upon the porch where the air was full of the sweet scent of growing things and she could hear the light foot falls on tl1e pavement below. The people laughed happily and did not know she was there. The world was brimming over with life, and the gladness of it hurt her. V It will be all right to-morrow, she smiled. But something was not right, and one morrow found Eve where the God of Promise had leit her suddenly. But she lay very still, for Eve, and seemed not to care. And that night in the big Auditorium. there was light and music and Bowers. And there were a hundred gods present, their eyes aglitter and their faces glowing with the promise of the life that was to come. One god was absent. -Vivian Barber '11 ..-e ' uv '!.- '- , ',- Y' ', I li 15' 51, E-15:-,yy 'l '- ' 'X THE TAHOMA Qt lllisit in QU12 mnnits STOOD in a forest one bright afternoon I When the trees were beginning to whisper of June, Young leaves to the breath of the wind rustled soft, From the tops of the giant limbs swaying aloft. Some chirping brown sparrows here Huttered about, And from the deep shade of the thicket peeped out On the paths of the forest to take a survey Of the heartless intruder who stared in the way. There bloomed at my feet some fragrant wild Howers That seemed to peep cautiously out from their bowers Among the tall grasses, and wild ferns, and moss, Which the flickering sunbeams were playing across I heard a sharp crackle and upward Ilglanced, To see a brown squirrel that gracefully danced With a nut in his paws till a suitable seat He espied, and then shyly proceeded to eat. O June, with your youth and your beauty so grand Let me feel your brave spiritlin heart and in handg Let me join in your jollity, cull your wild flowers, And breathe in the light of your infinite hours. -Ruth Williams 'IZZ' THE TAHOMA i5 Out of the ark Cl-Trom an old English legendj , ER mother, worn-out, her mouth drooping steadily, slept in a corner. She sat huddled in a heap, herwhite 5 .A H A head nodding grotesquely over her knees. Exhaus- qll I tion had drained from her the last sap of vitality. 1 .7 But the widow oi the bedside where her dead child Q 1 Q lay swaddled in a sheet, only laughed mirthlessly 0 and listened. A gale was sweeping the Channel. HI lost my man in the sea, she said monotonously. My babe is dead. Be still. Xwhat more can you do to me? The candle glared and gutteredg on the wall the leaping iirelight Hung huge, fantastic shadows, The widow knelt, and to prevent them dropping open, she tied over the baby's jaws a linen kerchief. She opened the window at the top so that the soul might pass. It is time to sing the Passing Songfi she said. Her voice was flat and harsh with grief, like the whistling of the wind. It broke over the words: ' Mary take you now, You that suckled at my heart, Mary sooth your crib tonight - But when it came to the place where she must say to the soul De- part, her lips would not form the words. She bowed in dumb agony over the cot, and the dead, sweet face stared into hers, and the rain- drops pounded on the window. Out of the dark, above the plunge and thunder of the wind-hacked waves, came a wail like a soul in pain. The widow gazed out through the splashed window, but the glass was blinded by the rain. Did you hear nothing, mother? . Hush, daughter! It isthe child that waits to pass. The widow's eyes were big and eerieg they peered out of her white, weary face like sunken shadows. She sighed, and shook her head. NOP she said, perhaps it is a lamb in the Wind. For why should my babe cry out that was christened, innocent, and clean of sin P I6 T H E 'T A I-I O M A She laid at the door a snowy sheet and the baby's quilt, so that on the long journey it take no injury from the cold, but out of the dark still came a wailing like a soul in pain. The widow lifted the latch and strained her eyes into the darkness. That the soul might pass freely, she faced the stinging wind and flung wide open the door. The night wasblack as a shroud, and far distant in the Channel the red lights of a Houndering ship flamed faintly. Out of the dark came a wailing like a soul in pain. I-Ieard you nothing, mother? questioned the widow, in the dark it cries for me. I-Ier mother sighed, and roused herself from the heaviness of sleep. Sorrow has made you dull, my daughter. Must you learn anew the scream of the wind-blown gull, or the cry of the hern ? Those were bl-own inland, long ago. That was never a bird's cry, mother, oh, hark, I hear it now I I-Ier mother soothed her with tender fingers, My daughter, dear daughter, be quiet, long ago has your lamb passed i11to the fold. 'Tis the smart of the tears you cannot shed, the ache of your breast where the babe would be feedingg the feel of your empty arms. I know, I know. Oh, daughter, 'tis only thatfi ' The widow put her mother aside. She cried, In Mary's name, let me go. For the peace of my soul, let me go. Something out there in the dark is calling me. She plunged into the biting night, and the wind-flung rain dashed fiercely in her face. And still there came a wailing. Under the lee of the shaken pier, where the twisted kelp was piled high and slimy, she found a little child. She wiped the brine from its face, and with a low cry laid it against her bosom. And as it fed, the touch of its cold little hands upon her bosom thrilled her heart strings. Then she came back to the warmth and light of the cabin, where her mother still nodded by the fire. At her breast cooed the stranger child, and her own on the cot was dead. H 'fMary, patron of mothers, what a bitter jest. she said drearily. Her eyes were dry of tears as she stared at the baby. Forgive rue, I! ' but I am not glad to save it. -Marvin MacLean 'HM TI-IE.

And this new people begot the name Freshmen And in the first year of their sojourn here they did labor mightily to acquire wisdom. N ow, whe11 the second year of their sojourn began, they, having worked valiantly, begot the name 'Sophomore, which being inter- preted, is wise fools. And this new' people waxed strong and mighty, and added unto themselves new people, so that all the other tribes in the High School were amazed and fear of this mighty tribe of Sophomores grew in their hearts. And an edict of King Collicott went forth, which said, 'Letall the tribes of the High School join themselves together and let them sell tickets so that we may build a mighty Stadium. And the peo- ple of the tribe of the Sophomores did labor mightily and gathered much money for the honor of the High School and their fame was known among all the tribes. Now, it came to pass that the women of this tribe gathered to- gether and spake unto each other and said, Let us join ourselves together in the game known as basket-ball, and they did so. Now, their strength grew greater day by day and when the women of the many tribes did strive against each other in the game ot basket-ball, the women of the tribe of Sophomores didovercome all the other women. And great was the rejoicing thereat. And in the third year of their sojourn in the Tacoma High School, the people of tl1e tribe of 1911 'gathered together and said, Let us join ourselves together and choose a leader to be our guide, and they did so and Eva Vance was chosen to be their leader. Now it came to pass that this people said, Let us join ourselves together in two bands, the men in one and the women in the other, as is the custom among the tribes of the Tacoma High Schoolf' And Tl-IE TAI-IOMA 21 this they did and from this time forth, the feasts of this tribe were numerous. . And in the second half of the third year of their sojourn, under the leadership of Claude Hiberly they did petition the head of all the tribes, King Collicott, to have Room 219 for their abode and great was the'rejoicing when their petition was granted and the scattered tribe was come together and lived peacefully and happily, under the kindly guidance of Miss Liddell in Room 219 and Miss Alcott in Room 221. And in the last days of the third year of their sojourn in Tacoma 'High School, the Stadium, for which they worked so valiantly, was dedicated and there was great rejoicing thereat, for the Stadium had taken much time to be built. And many of the tribe of 1911 took part in the Stadium dedication which continued for two days. Now, when the tribe of 1911 returned to the House of VVisdom after the summer vacation of the year one thousand nine hundred and ten, they found a new king reigning in King Collicott's stead and his name was King Knouff, for King Collicott had been called to a posi- tion of higher trust. Now, soon after they returned to Tacoma High School for the fourth and last year of their sojourn there, they gathered themselves together and said, Let us choose ourselves a motto and let 'us make for ourselves class pins of pure gold, 'for our old pins'are no longer worthy of our tribe. So they made for themselves class pins of pure gold cunningly wrought and the letters were of beaten gold upon them and there was much rejoicing thereat, for these pins were worthy of the tribe of 1911. And they did choose a motto which read, He conquers who conquers himself. And mightily did the tribe strive to live up to it. And all the tribes of Tacoma High School did meet and decide that a new gymnasium-was needed and they said, Let us have a football game and raise money for the gymnasium and let each tribe strive to sell more tickets than the other. And the tribe of 1911 sold more tickets than any other tribe and their fame grew and was magnified day by day among the tribes of Tacoma High School. Yea, and all the tribes of the school did gather, each tribe among itself, and did form Debating Teams and the teams from each tribe did stand up before the teams of the other tribes. And it came to pass that the debaters of the tribe of 1911 did defeat all the other 22 Ti-IE TAI-IOMA debaters and Win a cup of wrought silver and added much glory Lo the illustrious 'name of 1911, And in the last term of their sojourn in the High School they gathered themselves together and said, It is time for us to choose a new leader,', and they chose VValdo Burford to be their leader for the last part of their sojourn. - And it came time for the scribes of the class of 1911 to take charge of the Tahoma and a great meeting of all the tribes of the school was called and ye Chief Scribe and ye Business and Advertising Managers fflirl make speeches and great numbers of subscriptions were procured and the Tahoma Hourished a11d grew larger and better than ever before. Now it came to pass that all the men of the tribes of the High School did form themselves into Track teams and did strive against each other. Now the men of the tribe of 1911 were strong and mighty and on the day on which the teams of the various tribes did strive against each other, they Waxed stronger than ever before and so it came to pass that they defeated the men of all the other tribes. And it came to pass that from among all the people of the tribes of Tacoma High School, one was chosen of the tribe of 1911 whose name was lfVallace MacPherson, to meet all the chosen men from the schools of the State of Wfashington in a test of oratory. And in Seattle on the eleventh day of the fifth month of the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, it so happened that X!X73113.CS MacPherson did win over all the other men and stood first among the orators of the schools of the State of Wfashington. b And on the self-same night in the city of Tacoma another meet- ing was held to decide who, among all the people ot the various tribes of Tacoma I-1ighSchool were the best in writing and speaking essays of the war of Independence. And two members of the tribe of 1911 did win first and second prize and much was the rejoicing in the tribe of 1911 forasmuch as three of their people wo11 victories on the self-same night. i And in the last days of their sojourn a great Track meet was held in the Stadium and all the people of the land of Wfashington did send men to it and the tribe of 1911 did work valiantly to sell tickets for it and it came to pass that they sold more tickets than any other tribe, yea, verily, one of their number sold fifty-two. U And it'came to pass that the tribe of 1911, after the custom of other tribes, did give a Class Play on the second and third days of THE TAI-IOMA 23 the sixth month of the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eleven. And the name of it was Phoebe,s Romance or 'iQua1ity Street, and great was the applause that it Won and thereby did the class of 1911 win more glory. And it came to pass that on the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the year nineteen hundred and eleven, the tribe of 1911 graduated from the House of Wfisdomg and the tribe of 1911 was represented by VValdo Burford. And the two people of the class who did work hardest and earn the greatest rewards were Ruth Birks and Jacob Hoffman, and they were also on the program, and the Faculty were represented by Elma Leonard. With much speaking and great cere- mony were the tribe of 1911 ushered forth into life. Thus closes the history of tribe of 1911 during their sojourn in the House of VVisdom. Henceforth shall their deeds be recorded in the great Book of Life. -Quinn Trott '11 9 13 at .3 W 1,21 f fgff WZfWW?f ' W7 ffzfff' 4ff?ffZ f' ff XJ v I ff, . .A .

TAI-IOMA Class Prophecy HE stage-coach came to a sudden halt. XYhat is the meaning of this? I asked my driver as I poked my bonnet out of the window and vigor- ously grabbed for my hoop skirt. Just Waiting for that flying automobile to get by, he answered, in a voice which struck me as being peculiarly familiar. I sized him up a moment and then asked his name. 'Whoa there! My name, eh? O, my name's Burfordf' Burford! No wonder that voice was familiar. My hoops nearly suitered a collapse as I grasped for his hand. . VValdo Burford, don't you remember me?,' VVell, if it isn't youf' he thundered. This reversion of styles gets me all mixed up. I wish these fanatics would either stay one way or the other. I'm tired of having flying-machines bumping into stage-coaches, and hoop skirts into hobbles. There's likely to be civil war over this very thing? ' I see you still have your voice left, VValdo, I mildly observed. Yes, I guess it's getting worse, he sighed. 'Tm selling patent medicines when I'm not running stage-coaches and between them it's kind of hard on the lungs. . I thought it certainly must be. You wouldn't have thought when we graduated fifteen years ago, that Puyallup would have been as big as Seattle and that they would even have a fair there, would you? he went on. O, say, I was over to the High School the other day and what do you think! Earl Jones is principal. Don Stevens got fired because the girls made remarks about his dimples and he made eyes at them. Marie LaGasa has charge off the library with Grady Mahaffey as assistant. I tell you, there was a hubbub when I was there. Wfill VVright is teaching chemistry, too, and VX7ill Gaffney, U. S. Historyf' - - I The coach was now atpthe end of its journey audas the door flew open, imagine my amazement when I saw Trixie Camp in a sheath THE TAI-IOMA 25 skirt on one side of the road and Clarence Maulsby in a ruffled shirt, cutaway coat and velvet knee breeches on the other side, each vying with the other, in selling to the passers-by some kind of a concoc- tion guaranteed to make one fat in three weeks. I descended from the coach and rushed up to Trixie, delighted to see her after so many years. She, however, simply turned her nose up at metand went on with her business. I was suddenly conscious of my hoop-skirt so I went over to speak to Clarence whom I knew belonged to our side. He graciously welcomed me. ' Don't mind her, he said with a dissenting motion towards Miss Camp. She's a fake. But arenit you selling the same thing? I asked. t 'WVell, no, you see, he stammered. Mine is a powdered liquid and hers is a liquidized powder. And besides, she floesn't get fat herself. She has Louise Atchison and Grace Berry as models. Vifhen anyone asks her why she isnit fat, she says she has just begun on it. I stole a glance at Clarence and noticed that his legs were as long as usual, but I said not a word. Just then I happened to see Louise Quilliam across the street with a long line of male attendants among whom' were Leander 'Tollefson and Raymond Mnrry. Oh, she's leader of the other faction, always got a string of men around her, Clarence vouchsafed. Did you know that Roy Ander- son, one of our classmates, was startling Europe with his violin-play- ing and that Ruth Birks was made poet-laureate of England? I had not heard of either of these facts and I begged Clarence to tell me more about our class. NVe1l, I can't think of much else, he said, except that Vivian Barber and Marvel Hall are travelling in Europe, writing for a Seattle paper, and O, yes, Roger Elder had such success with the Tahoma that he is now editor of the News, Adele Young and Dorothy Perry were disappointed in love and so went into a con- vent. And would you ever think that I-Iazel'Bachus was teaching oral expression and Charles Morgan, manual-training? I thought now that I had better go on to the fair and leave Clar- ence- with his patent medicine, so I walked towards the gates, and on passing a billboard, I noticed a large gaily-colored sign See the famous hypnotist, Jacob Hoffman. The only educated one alive. Special features will be snake-charming by Calvin Phillips and Oliver La Chapelle andfancy dancing by Ruby Bales and Clyde Ballinger. At'the close instructive lessons will be given as to how to cultivate 26 THE TAHOMA n a tenor voice by Williain Fraser. At the Puyallup Theater, 8 P. M. After reading the sign and deciding in my mind I would visit the performance that evening, I paused to look atfan elderly lady going by, with spectacles and a hoop-skirt similar to my own. I at once recognized an old class-mate, Mary Ireland. I had heard that she had gone in for women's suffrage on a grand scale, and' now my rumors were confirmed for she bore a large banner with the inscrip- tion Votes for XVo1nen. I She didn't have time to say much, but I learned from her that Anna Gilbransen, Iva Curren, and Linda Dennis were associated with her in her ennobling enterprise and that they were all trying to convert the backward states. She also said that the name Mary Ireland signified as 1Tll.1Cl1 now as Carry Nation did when we went to school. By this time I had arrived at the entrance when great was my surprise to find' Mr. and Mrs. Bradner entering at the same time. Gertrude, too, had on a hoop skirt, which, I am sorry to say, did not increase her slimness any. She told me that Burke was making a specialty of renting summer resorts and launches to different tour- ist parties. , I VVe entered the grounds together and of course I was desirous of knowing where many of our class were. Gertrude had been corre- sponding with a number of them and was able to tell me quite a bit. She said that Myra Ford and Quinn Trott were leading the great temperance movement and were giving five-minute stump speeches in all the small towns over the United States. Barry Glen now com- posed the Newlyweds in the comic supplement of ai New York paper. Veva Sadler and Margie I-Iall were posing as artists' models in Seattle and Lucile Lamoreaux and Marie Mock were canvassing for a face cream. She also said that Robert Chalmers was put out of the House of Representatives for interrupting the Speaker too much. Goodness, what has become of Romanzo XValsh P I asked. W'ell, he and Wfallace McPherson and IVillis Herbert are giving a minstrel show, advertising that they are the only red-headed negroes alive, Burke said. And what about Alison Taylor? She and Zella Turner are running a kindergartenin Utah and I guess they have a kind of hard time. I heard that Catherine Fitch tends to the babies when they cry. And by the way, Philip Barret lately invented a model aeroplane but in lighting on a haystack he THE TAHOMA 27' happened to strike Charles Mettler and Harry Nelson ,who were lounging there, and they are in the hospital yet from the effects of it. My companions now left me and as I was writing asmall book on the fair, I thought that first of all I would take in Paradise Alley, corresponding to Pay Streak in the Seattle fair of 1909L The sign that first caught my attention was Block and Berg's Bucking Board. There was a great commotion inside and so I was determined to enter, and sure enough! In the center of a large room was a huge plank going first one way and then another so fast that you were scarcely sensible it was moving. I noticed that among those who tried it, there were always three who got on, and on fur- ther investigation I found that they were Myrtle Antrim, Bernice Cox and Raymond Hay, who were specially hired for this purpose, and that the establishment was run by our classmates, Fred Block and Marvin Berg. 'I decided not to try the accomplishment myself but to go further and investigate other places of amusement. In a refreshment room, I found six of the girls I used to know serving ice cream and other eatables to tl1e tourists. They were called the Sweet Sexette and comprised respectively Florence Prich- ard, Wfinifred Combs, Blanche Abercrombie, Fern Bone, Anna Hart- ley and Marion Sisson. 'While I was sipping some tea Florence came over and talked to me. She said they enjoyed their work ever so much, that Fannie ,Russell and Bernice Short had been with them but had become tired of it and went to give dancing lessons. She said that Dorothy Kizer and Myra Healy were at the head of the Y. VV. C. A. work in .Wfashington and that in the Puyallup branch, Clara MacDonald had charge of the gymnasium, and Elsie Kuett of the cafeteria. Raymond Dodge was now manager of a New York theater and at 'present Fred Conrad was playing the role of leading comedian. Acting with him were Alfred Driscoll, Anthony Jaureguy and Clare Thompson, who did juggling' performances for the amuse- ment of those in the gallery. Marion Sisson now came up and said she had just heard from Norma Palmer who was busy having Elsonis U. S-. History placed in every public school in large quantities. Norma had told her that Edwin and Carl Peterson had just manufactured a new kind of coal, one shovel of which put on a fire would last all day. Helen Twitchell and Eva Vance had gone to housekeeping and had jointly invented a universal bed-maker which acted automatically in laying the' covers on a bed. It was also guaranteed, to keep the bugs out. Bernice 28 TI-IE TAI-IOMA Redington and Ruth Smith were raising black roses at their home near Steilacoom and supplied the inmates of the asylum with nose- gays. .The asylum, by the way, was now run by Harold Brautigam. Annette Royse and Marguerite Shahan had gone into the farming business and were raising potatoes on a large scale. Frank Morse was found to be a descendant of Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph system and was now immensely wealthy. The girls said that they could not possibly think of another thing to tell me, so I left them to resume ,my inspection of the fair. I next visited the art gallery and there among some of the most famous painting I saw landscapes by Susie Herr and Fay VVebb, who it seems had become highly celebrated for their beautiful works on nature. Aileen Alexander's Happy VVedlock, which occupied a prominent place, was a marvel of human conception and held first place among' the paintings of the world. After looking at the pictures, I decided to visit the Domestic Building of which I knew Leslie Davis was in charge. Near the door I met Margaret Fleetwood in a white cap and apron and she personally conducted me through the building. I found Virginia Gray demonstrating breakfast food made from 'peanut shells, and John Croman, varnish for furniture. Henrietta Burmeister in a loud Voice was proclaiming the beauty of some gentlemen's cuff links she was selling, and Isabel Tunnard and Hazel Sias were superintending the sewing department. After going through the building, Margaret invited me to drink tea with her and talk over old times. Shep told me that Harriet Carrier had made her fortune in designing sheath gowns, that Eliza- beth Nelson and Alice Pillsbury were matrons in some boarding school and that Elma Leonard was designing a new kind of a sun- bonnet and tried them on Nellie Lindstrom outside of some deaprt- ment store. It seems that Ed Cook had become a famous-actor and Guy Mundem-was running a dairy and selling IW:l1l1ClC1Tl,S Milk. Robert Smythe and Ralph Robinson were -studying music under Paderewski and it is reported that he had taught them all he could. Margaret now suggested that we walk over and see the athletic meet which was the special feature of that day. There we found Arthur Erb, captain of the Giants, in the same old pose he used to exhibit in oral expression. Johnnie Cromwell was general mana- ger of the entire meet. Two runners were laboriously puffiing around the track and on further notice, I recognized them as W'illiam Olson Tl-IE. TAI-IOMA 29 and Dean Pickett, who were racing for a prize. I was anxiously watching to see what the outcome would be when some 'one shot across ahead of them and beat them by ar yard. Then a shout Went up, Three cheers for Prichard, and sure enough, if it wasn't James who had established quite a record for himself. Although I didn't care so much about the rest of the athletics, I was very muchhinterested in an aereoplane race between Albert Hartmann and Robert Monaghan who were to race to the fair grounds. All at once we saw one bird-like shape and then another, and watched with bated breath as they approached. Everyone was waiting to see the grand finish when suddenly the first one collapsed and all the occupants, including Paul Miller, who was steeringffell to the ground. The other machine propelled by Robert, who thought that some mistake had been made about the stopping place, lighted right on top of the first, causing considerable confusion and a general scramble to get out. The judges decided that neither contestant had won the race, and it was cancelled. Margaret and I decided that we had seen enough of the meet and as she had to return to her work, we started off again. On the way out, we met several classmates, Lily Swanson and Hazelle Trubshaw, who were travelling with an actor's troupe and were represented as the fair and the dark of it. Further on we niet Eva Truesdale and when Margaret left me, Eva walked on with nie.- I told her about the things I had heard and seen about our class and she said she could tell me something, for she had just been talk- ing to Charlie I-lay, who was running an automobile shop. I-Ie told her that Frances Loughlen, Laura Magill and Blanche Miller were making paper Howers which had again come into style, and had had a store built to accommodate their growing trade. I-Ienry MacLean and Rex I-Ienriot were deep into politics and were both running for mayor in New York City. Josephine Andrak and Lilian Calhoun were busy inventing a way to make hoops for skirts, out of straw, and Harry Ayres had actually found a way to make hair grow on bald heads. The mayor of Puyallup, Leonard Larson, whose hair had all come out because of his cares, and Mark Curry, a great steel mag- nate, had both recommended him to the public, and practically assured his success. just then we saw a vacuum cleaner run by four ladies and, being a housewife myself, I was always interested in such matters, so stopped to look at it. Great indeed was our surprise when we found 30 TI-IE TAI-IOMA V that outside the building the cleaner was run by Ruth I-Ieinenway and Genie Hicker, while Laura johnson and Lois King manipulated the machine within. It's Henry Jacksoifs invention, Lois said while she worked it, Hand it certainly is a success. Then she stopped, and' while Laura continued the operation, talked with us of some of our oldtinie friends. Did you hear about Jessie Short running a baby-carriage garage? She even has an elevator to the second floor, she has such good busi- ness. And Rachael I-Iull has established a pleasant tea-room in ,con- nection with it for all the babies' mothers. I was in visiting her the other day, enjoyed a nice chat for about half an hour, and she showed me a newspaper clipping which contained a graphic description of the daring deeds of Ivan I-Iine and Edwin Rounds while hunting lions in Africa. It also told how lfVillia1n Ludwig had been with them for a time, but he climbed a tree once when he saw a monkey and had not been seen or heard of since. As I turned the clipping over in my hand I saw advertisements of Leslie Young and Millard Thomas, who are conducting a sanitariuni, and Loren 'XN7etherby, proprietor of a men's clothing establishment. But nothing that I had heard all day surprised or shocked me more than to learn that Miss Alcott' and Miss Liddell are married and teaching a school of one. That was all I could stand, and as it was getting late, I said good-bye to Eva and the other girls and hurried home, where hubby was patiently washing the dishing. After all, I was the most fortunate and happy one of all that large class and with a laugh and a song I rattled the bright skillet and started supper.

The great halls Sudden grow silent and hushed as he comes And at the feet of his monarch he pauses With his lyre, silver voiced, beloved of nations. Softly and tenderly over the strings Wander,his fingers where they list, Till, bursting forth in a passionate flood Of molten music, the poet sings: Oh well, thou little band, hast thou performed Each one his several part, and said his lines And left the stage. But now the curtain falls On thy fourth and last act. At eve today Shalt thou go forth into a wider ,sphere And play thy role upon the stage of life. And thou shalt draw thy measure of applause From balcony and pit. Upon man's tongue Thy name in praise be heard. Let not thy voice In self' appreciation sing: but, true And silent, strive to make each scene Thy best, that when thy great Taskmaster calls For thy last exit, 'thou shalt gladly leave ' And know that man shall bless thee for thy life.

As each succeeding class has endeavored to improve over the efforts of the classes before it, so the class of 1911 has striven to excel all previous records. The test of worth and meritis the quality and appearance of the commencement number, appearing at the close of each semester. This number, our last one, we present as the crowning achievement of our work, both as a class and as a staff. You are the rightful judge and critic of the paperg we can do no more than place it in your hands with the hope that it may meet with your amplest expectations and prove worthy to represent the high standard of the Tacoma High School. Q4 Jie' To the staff who will publish the paper next term, we gladly be- queath all the troubles and cares which are in store for them, but at the same time, we wish them -the best of success and the most loyal support of the student body. VVe sincerely trust that the standard of excellence which properly belongs to the Tahoma will ever be maintained as long as it is published in the Tacoma High School. The incoming staff are fully capable of doing this and we do not hesitate to turn the management of the paper over to the class of 19112. at at ar VVith no idea whatsoever of boasting or bragging, 'Tahoma has proved a success this semester. This is measure to the splendid spirit of co-operation shown the students, to whom this issue is dedicated. It is we believe the due in a large at all time by primarily due, however, to the untiring zeal and strenuous efforts of two fellows, Tl-IE. TAI-IOMA 63 Philip Barrett and lN'aldo Burford. They have each done more by their loyal work to make the success of the Tahoma possible than any one else whose name we might mention. The class chose well and wisely in selecting fellows of such vim and energy for the important positions which they hold. llfith such support success. was inevitable, and the Editor wishes to thank the fellows, both on behalf of the class and personally, for the way in which they have upheld the Tahoma. A .5563 Another department whose work has been quietly and efiiciently done, is that which comprises the different staff editors, staff artists and class reporters. The willingness with which at all times they have furthered the best interests of the Tahoma is certainly appreciated by the Editor. XYe wish to commend the faithful service of the associate editors who have greatly aided the Tahoma management as each issue has appeared. Others who have given us valuable assistance this term are the Hfaculty members of the Staff as we may call them, for Whose kind aid and advice we are grateful. The Tahoma is essentially 'a co-operative element of school activity, and hence, no one person is entirely responsible for its success. Credit is due first of all to the Senior class, and secondly to the school at large. . Through the exchanges, we have noticed something which is of interest to Tacoma High students. This is that many high schools have followed the precedent set by the 'IOM Tahoma Staff when they published their Tacoma Tahomaf' In not a few cases has this idea been worked out along very similar lines to those used by our school paper. Vie point to this fact with pride and believe it speaks well for the ingenuity and enterprise of the Staff of 19102. It also shows that the Tahomas are appreciated as exchanges. XIVC hope that this will always be the case. . 5:95 Though he has been with us but one short year, the students have learned to love and admire the man who has been our leader during that time. In this we believe, we are voicing the sentiments of the School Board as Well as our own. The members brought consider- able pressure to bear upon Mr. Knouff to induce him to remain, even offering an increase of 35800 should he do so. Mr. Knouff stated that TI-IE. TAI-IOMA Mr. Geiger Mr. Knouff fOur new Frincipall fOur Leader? Tl-IE TAI-IOMA 65 negotiations regarding his new position had already gone too far for him to recede and that he could do no other than resign. Wfe regret exceedingly that we are,to lose him from our school, but since he has been called to a still higher position of trust and responsibility, we bid him God-speed and wish him only success in his future work. To Mrs. Knouff, and the baby, too, we bid a fond farewell. May her cheery voice and happy smile brighten the lives of others as they have those of her friends here. VVe surely will not forget Mr. and Mrs. Knouff and their pleasant sojourn with us, and hope they will not forget old Tacoma High and her students. Should the opportunity be given at any time in the future, we shall greet them with a hearty welcome. I ' 65.9393 Mr. Geiger, principal of Broadway High, Seattle, has been selected to succeed Mr. Knouff as principal of Tacoma High. That he is a competent official is shown by the fact that he has served with Broad- way for the past seven years, and has become very much endeared to the students there. VV'e welcome him to our school as our chief and guide, congratulating ourselves that such an able and efficient man has been secured. Let us work together with the new principal as we have with the present, striving by united effort to build up the interests of Old Tacoma High in every way possible. 853. High School Frats High School Fraternities are not only contrary to the laws of the state. They are objectionable in themselves. They are unnecessary. Such an organization in college life may be beneficial, being com- posed of young men or women who are comparatively mature in age and judgment, and who are away from home iniiuences. On the other hand, the high school student is young, he is at homey he should be guided and his character formed under influences of a good home, rather than under those of the club. Secret organizations are selfish, they tend to confine the social benefits to a very few, and also to divide the school into cliques or social sets that are exceedingly un- democratic. The existence of these organizations offers encourage- ment to the interference with proper discipline in the school, especially when dominated by a few who are quick to resent and resist any fancied injury or restriction. Furthermore, with very few exceptions, the majority of fraternity and sorority members present records of 66 'lil-IE TAI-IOMA failure in school work, which is an almost inevitable result. Club life also leads to lavish expenditures for social functions and the like, and often induces a reckless extravagance on- the part of the individ- ual, even beyond his capacity. Lastly, high school boys and girls are too young for club life. A few may hold their own, but many more are those who there establish hurtful friendships and intimacies, and lacking initiative and resolution to be themselves leaders, are led on, for better or for worse, until they are mastered. The worst effects of the high school fraternities are manifested when the members, free from all parental control, meet to read the papers, smoke, play cards, etc. Let the fraternity have its place, but keep it from those for whom it was not intended, and to whom it will prove an injury, It should have no place in the student life of the Tacoma High School. 353 There is a game in the affairs of Freshies , Wihich played within-the Stadium leads to manhood. -Caesar iv Sc. iii VV hen will the uses of the -Stadium ever run short! Another new athletic exercise has been found which is now used to great advan- tage in the world-renowned Stadium. The sport is noted for its stimulating effect and vigorous recuperative properties, requiring ex- ceptional skill. Blest be the citizens of Tacoma who put up S100,000, that this romantic and mediaeval sport might be indulged in. It is a noon pastime and has been played under the observation of critics of this day and age as follows: A great ring of geometrical propor- tions is drawn around which gather a bunch of expectant, knicker- bockered Freshies. In their little hands they hold some small trans- lucent spheres. Their faces are drawn and tense. One gets down on his knees, Cthe others are breathing fastjg he puts his little knuckles to the edge of the ring, then with a great and terrible effort, using his splendidly trained muscles he- But why continue further? Every- body knows that Freshies must play marbles, for what was the Sta- dium built for, and isn't Shakespeare right? -W. Mac-- '11 .353 Look for money that you may be independent. This is the thing that makes such a quest justifiable in terms of success. ' So stated Prof. Thompson, head of the Mining and Engineering Department THE TAHOMA 67 at the State College, in his talk to the Assembly, May 10. Mr. Thompson said one should choose the college that is best suited to his own individual needs. The State College, he said, stands for industrial education, preparing one to develop and utilize the great natural resources at his commandf' Continuing he outlined the work of the college in a somewhat brief though pleasant manner and asked all interested to see him after school for more definite information. .ser ar - The promotion of the Big Field Meet, held May 20, occupied two Assembly periods, May 15 and 18. At the former time, the students had the pleasure of hearing from Mr. Collicott, who encouraged the project on hand and urged all to manifest their interest in a real effort to assure the success of the undertaking. Mr. Senter and Mr. Perkins also spoke in such a manner as to put the proposition squarely up to the students and arouse an interest in the event. May 18, besides Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Daniels, a number of the fellows themselves were called to the platform and from there deliv- ered their extemporaneous orations in fine style. Every one em- phasized the great importance of the occasion and the need for down- right hard work toward boosting the Stadium meet, appealing to the school spirit of the students to respond to an enterprise which was to mean so much to Tacoma High and the city. During the entire week every efforttpossible was made toget up enthusiasm and incite the students to activity. Among other things, a number of fellows went to the various roll rooms on different occa- sions stirring things up in general wherever they went. Friday after- noon about a score of the best ticket sellers in the school went down town with the big bass drum and worked hard for a couple of hours disposing of tickets to whoever would buy. 'XVe are very glad to say that the meet was a success in every way, being run off promptly and in lively shape. The students are certainly to be commended for the way in which they got under the proposition and made its suc- cess possible. el .53 In response to the call for a Tacoma High School song eight pupils joined in the competition for the prize of ten dollars offered by the Athletic Association. A committee of three from the faculty was appointed to pass judgment on the contributions, and after careful consideration of the words, and the tunes selected in each case, it 68 THE TAI-IOMA was decided that it would be for the best interest of the school if the prize were not awarded this term. Although some of the songs contributed were of high quality, the committee felt that none quite reached the standard of excellence which our school has a right to expect. Some of the songs, though excellently done, lost from the fact that they contained illusions of only 'temporary interest. Wfe need a song of such character that it can stand as a permanent expres- sion of the best sentiment of Tacoma High. The prizes for the best song and the best yell will be offered again next term. . as .sz ,sc Y. W. c. A. , On April 29 the girls of the High School Y. XV. C. A. held the annual Field Day at Point Defiance Park. -Tennis was the program in the morning, with eight entries, and a track or Held meet followed the noon luncheon on the beach. The races were held near the rustic bridge on the main boulevard. The four highest winners of points were as follows: Elnora Relf, 21g Floy Anderson, 185 Amy McConohie, 16, Helen York, 10. X The tennis tournament resulted in the winning of finals by Grace Holgate and Dorothy Hoit, A handsome silver cup was offered by one of the board women of the Y. VV. C. A., and the interest in the contest was ffreatl f auffumented by the desire of winning the beautiful trophy. In the finals played the following Monday, Dorothy Hoit won, 7-5, 6-4. ' b 5 5 , The Bible Class, which meets every two weeks, has not a large membership, but the girls are taking a great interest in the work, and next year we hope to start with many new members added to our list. This closes the year's work in the High School, but when we re- turn next fall, ready for a new chapter in this, our Christian work, let us all, as girls, reach out to the stranger who has come to dwell among us, and see that no girl is allowed to feel strange nor left out because she has just entered school.

On the doors along the corridors are displayed college pennants, school colors, posters, and various advertisements of the occupants' allegiance. From behind those doors issue subdued voices, giggles and muffled conversation. One could almost imagine aspread! Farewell to his coveted nightls sleep, sighs the traveler, but at ten o'clock all the lights are out, and the silence of the tomb enfolds the place until the yong! yong! yong! of the breakfast bell in the morning.

The morning is: filled with study classes. conferences and committee meetings, The classes in. Bible and Mission study are taught by the very best instructors that can be obtained,'often men and women from the best Eastern colleges. It' is a high privilege to be a member of those classes, and-to get the thoughts and the inspiration of those noble and kindlyepersonalities.

L. Sommers, of the Chamber of Commerce, gave a stimulating talk on Wiisconsin, the People's University. As a graduate of the commercial department of this school and a consistent ex- pounder of the methods taught by his alma mater, Mr. Sommers is certainly well qualified to talk on this matter. He outlined briefly the practical attitude of the university toward the state, its intimate relation with politics and its bright prospects from a financial point of view. Mr. Sommer's 'talk marks the culmination of the series- of live addresses which have constituted the program of the College Club for the term. The first speaker in the series, Judge E. M. Card, rep- resented Stanford and Cornellg Principal Wfilson of the Ellensburg Normal, followed with a talk on the relation of the normal school to the university, and Mrs. Gulick represented in the third talk, the Women's Colleges of the Atlantic Coast. President Zeller, of the University of Puget Sound, represented the interest of our local in- stitution of higher learning, and Mr. Sommers concluded the series as a representative from the Middle WVest. . It will be the policy of the club to continue these addresses from time to time next year, giving each locality or distinctive university an opportunity to present itsuclaims to students'of the High School who are interested in such matters. 59995 ' The Tahoma management wish to thank Mr. Strong who has so kindly given the use of the pictures which appear in the pages devoted to the Senior class, andalso Mr. Cosper, of the Commercial Club. For the snapshot of the track events we are indebted to Mentzer, a member of the class of 1912. Another whose generous and efhcient work in our behalf we wish to acknowledge is Mr. B. A. Reade, who handled the class group pictures and most of the work done for the Tahoma. ..-991513 Senior Fun! ! Talk about your good times and your picnics. well that one had them all outclassed. Monday, june 12, about one hundred fifty of the Seniors abandoned their usual dignity and set out for a real jolly 72 T I-I E T A I-l O M A good time at Caledonia. Arriving at their 'destination in the after- noon the ,crowd began at once to whet theiraappetites for what was to follow in the way of feed, by races, games and other sports specially conducive to this end.. Then came that self-same aforesaid feast. And my,-how we did eat. Ceremony and style had no place at that table and we just sat there and ate, with a lot of fun mean- time, till satisfaction beamed in the countenance of every person. -. Vlfhat followed was worth enjoying, 'Wfaldo Burford, president of the class, acting as toastmaster and dishing out the toasts in moderate doses. Different persons gave toasts intensely interesting to the entire class on such subjects as The Class, f'The Tahoma, The Faculty, etc., making folks sit up and take notice. After these the Class History, Class Prophecy, Class 'Will and Class Poem were read by their respective authors to the assembled crowd. After the feed, a baseball game between the Stags and the married men was played for six innings and furnished fun enough to keep a barrel of monkies laughing CEU for the rest of their lives. Then the folks migrated to the boats and canoes and while some en- joyed themselves on the beach and in the woods, others rowed or paddled about in great sport. In this manner evening came only too quickly, but the fun was not over yet, however, for in the evening everybody gathered at the pavilion which presented a gay scene from then on till a late hour. Dancing made the time fly in reality with its delights and pleasures and the later hours of the night approached only too rapidly. At last, however, the time came to break up the jollities of the dance and begin the homeward jour- ney. 'This was even more fun than the morning trip had been, for though everyone was tired, things were good and lively all the way home. As the last social gathering of the class of 1911 it was their jolliest and best and never to be forgotten by each person who had the good fortune to .be there. It was FUN from beginning to end. 5:2555 Vllednesday, june 7, the large framed picture of the class of 1911 was hung on the wall in room 119 before the assembled class. This picture is about four feet long by three feet high, costing eleven dollars to frame and containing one hundred thirty-six pictures. In the center is a copy of the class pin which makes a pretty though simple design. It is a handsome picture and the class take great pleasure and pride in presenting it to the Tacoma High School. THE TAI-IOMA 73 Commencement To the graduate, Commencement season brings its pleasures and its joys, but it also brings a feeling of regret and sorrow. The thought of having finished the course successfully, and of being about to launch out intolwider fields of experience and learning is one that well may cause a sense of honest pride and pleasant anticipation to rise in the breast of the honored recipient of a diploma. But along with this comes that other thought of parting friendships and ac- quaintances. For four long years the class have worked together. Each has learned to know the other. Friendships have been formed that even Time may not break. Wfe have become almost as one big family. As friends we have had many delightful social gatherings both in school and out. But these are now at an end. Never again will this class come together as they have this year. Some may meet and others may meet, but the class is broken. Friendships will last, more will come into our lives. Acquaintances will go their wayg others will take their place. In one short year no one but the good God Himself can tell where we will be. An unknown future lies before us which we can not, dare not fathom. The knowledge that we must lose some friends, the uncertainty as to others,-circum- stances over which we have no control,-this it is that causes regret as each Commencement comes and goes. Let us look forward, however, placing our aim high and striving with might and main to prove our worth in the battles of life, where we have yet to meet our greatest struggles. Let us see in Commence- ment the beginning of a broader, richer, fuller life, ever climbing higher on the ladder of success. Let us press on with vigor, never content to lag behind but always on the front line of action. There We may find our place and take our stand for what is' right and just in the affairs of men. The opportunity is opening up before us to shape our future as we will to a great extent. All will not be leadersg all will not be famousg all will not mold public opiniong but each, wherever he or she may be, may End the best in life and maintain the highest ideals. He conquers who conquers himself, was your motto for Commencement. It will stand a test in your own life as you go from the High School. Take it to yourself. ' elvis! Scholarships This is a subject which should be of interest to graduates in par- 74 THE TAHOMA ticular but to other students of the school as well. One cannot obtain a scholarship by a special endeavor during his senior year or half year, the conditions are such as depend on one's efforts and accom- plishments for his entire four years' course. Thus every one who anticipates or hopes for anything at all in this regard should consider it important always and act with this in view. Do not, however, make it a fundamental object of your High School life. To fulfil the conditions for their own value and for what they can mean in your life is by far a higher motive and one as well that will come the near- est to attaining success. Among the conditions of award generally characteristic of these scholarships are the following: CU The appointee must have attained high rank in the class. C25 The value as a preparation for college of the subjects pre- sented will be considered. CSD His health must be sufficiently 'strong to endure the strain of the heavy Work of a college course. f4j His ability for leadership must have been indicated by popu- larity with fellow students and by capability inthe literary, social, musical, or athletic activities of the high school. f5j His character must show honesty, loyalty, industry, courage and ambition. . U C6D His capacity to profit by a college education must be marked. Such are the characteristics essential not only to obtain a scholar- ship but even more to develop into the strong personality best be- coming the future leaders of the younger generation of today. Never- theless, a scholarship is certainly not a thing to be neglected. It is a valuable asset to a person entering college as well for the certificate of honor which it implies as for the material aid which it conveys. At present live scholarships are offered by each of the two schools, Wfhitman College and University of Puget Sound and one by XVhit- worth College. These are supplemented by an offer from Columbia University which, however, is to the state at large and not confined to the High School. Each of these offers stipulates that total tuition fees for one year Qin one case annuallyj are covered by the scholar- ship, subjectto the provision that the 'candidate shall prove himself worthy, The candidates for scholarships are carefully chosen by the faculty from the graduating class. Already several of those chosen from 'the june class have applied for scholarships in the different schools offer- ing them. THE. TAHOMA 75 Effort and Success ' Q Honest effort is the fundamental of success. Though at times it may not be rewarded by that which was its direct objective, yet it is never a failure. Effort honestly spent increases one's capacity to do and to be and places him one step nearer the goal of true success. The successful man is not the idle man. His success comes through' endeavorg we too must willingly put effort into any enterprise to insure its success. The life that is most useful is manifested in some- thing done. Nothing worth while is accomplished 'without effort. Then the most useful life will be a life of effort and endeavor. So then ilon't be afraid to spend effort. It brings success. Ambition and In- tention often incite to action: effort alone accomplishes the deed. Honest effort then is a true requisite of success: it is the key to a successful life. Effort belongs to any and all who will use it. It is yours: Use it. . ' V33 L9 .3 Orchestra jolliiication The day broke perfect and as the clock chimed the hour of ten, a score of the H, S. Orchestra people who were anxiously waiting at the Eleventh street bridge, crowded into the speedy' little launch Marion R, bound for a merry-making at Manzanita Beach. A fresh, brisk wind predicted a fine day, and after a cruise altogether too short, everybody piled out at our landing place. They were then royally entertained at the Chewanee, the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Chidester, where a cheery fireplace blazed out a cordial welcome. The rest of the day's fun included a clam dig, a sumptuous dinner Cthree cheers for the girlsj a clam bake, and-oh, that home ride! A light warm wind, blending with the silent harmony of a starlit dusk, reverently induced an almost unbroken silence as the boat glided over the velvet black waters sparkling with phosphorescence. As the lights of the city grew brighter all voices joined in acclamation that the day had been the day of their lives with a duration too hastily ended. Again the tower clock chimed off the stroke of ten as the launch tied up at the wharf. Wfith many hearty cheers for the boys who had been so liberal with their boat, a tired but happy company broke up for home. -Roy A. '11 76 THE. TAHOMA - Literary Review It is with pleasure that We present in this, our Commencement number, three stories of the highest grade of excellence of any we have published this term. First of all we would mention All's Fair, by Beatrix Camp. This as a track story surpasses all others of its class for real life and sentiment, moving rapidly from beginning to climax and keeping up one's interest throughout. Promise, by Vivian Barber, and Out of the Dark, by Marvin MacLean possess literary merit which cannot be excelled. Each has a touch of pathos that adds to rather than subtracts from their worth as stories. Among the poets, Knute Anderson has again manifested his genius in Night Pictures, which has a depth that only comes with true poetry. Romance, by Marvin MacLean, though short, yet has some of this same quality. The Class Poem, by Ruth Birks must cer- tainly be classed among the best poems of this issue coming from the pen of a genuine poet. Ocie Van Tyne's The Inspiration, A Visit to the 'W'oods, by Ruth Williaiiis and Meditation, by Bess Thompson all have the poetic character which We like to see in a High School paper with a high standard such as ours. The Literary Editor wishes to thank all who have contributed to the Tahoma during this term. Many are those stories and poems which we have received and have not been able to use, but at the same time we owe our gratitude to the unsuccessful as well as to the fortunate ones, for they have aided us in no small degree to elevate the standard of literary merit in the Tahoma. To those whose work llas been recognized in each issue we wish to give our heartfelt ap- preciation for their efforts in making this department a success. In the class section of this issue there appear the Class Chronicle, Class Prophecy and Class VVill, which all deserve mention as being well Written and interesting. Though the Prophecy, written by Helen Skinner, is unavoidably long, it is put together in excellent manner and made interesting by a fevv touches of lively imagination. The Class,1Chronicle, by Quinn Trott, is concise and thorough, of special interest to the graduating class but of general interest to all. The Class VV'ill, by Marvel Hall, is a spicy and entertaining version of the last will and testament of the class of 1911. -335 The Edior wishes to thank Mr, Butler and Miss Read for their work on the College Club and Y. VV. C. A. respectively in this issue. THE TAI-IOMA 77 ,, Tahoma Bronze The results of the investigation of the committee' on the 'Iahoma Bronze have been determined and the Bronze engraved with tl1e names of the fortunate ones. XfVe are glad to thus bring the Bronze into prominence at this time, realizing that it will be a 'strong incentive to greater effort on the part of students who are interested in literary attempts and in the Tahoma. That the practice of choosing the name to be placed on the bronze may be continued faithfully by those who will carry on the Tahoina in the future is our sincerest wish. The favored one to receive the honors for this semester will be determined next fall and published through tl1e Taho1na. The Editor wishes to thank the committee who have served so faithfully during this term endeavoring to select 'the winners for each term since the time of the 'OSKQ Staff. The sub-committees who together made up the entire committee were as follows: Fiction and Essays, Marvel Hall, Miss Alcott, and Mr. Daniels, Poetry, Alison Taylor and Mr. Butlerg Editorials, Helen Skinner and Mr. Sperlin. Their final choice is as follows: T '09, Maude Cooper- How Cupid VVO11 the Meet, -june. 'O9M, Sheldon Glover-- The Last Trip, --December. '10, Marvin MacLean- Second String, -May. V WOM, Florence W'ilkey- The Thief, -January. A Q5 ug al The Class Play .- After working steadily for almost an entire school year, endeavor- ing to select a play that would represent the large class which grad- uates this june, the committee finally chose Phoebe's Romance. Many other plays were considered, but either because of- inferior quality, dificulty in staging, a small caste or other more or less ob- jectionable features, were rejected. Phoebe's Romance has met with excellent success wherever it has been presented and is a capital play for high school students. For this reason, this play was selected and work begun at once. ' In the try-out held the week before the Easter vacation, consider- able interest was manifested by the members of the class. At that time over sixty tried for the respective parts in the play, from which number the final caste was chosen. By dint of continual hard work and steady practice, under the capable direction of Miss Perkins, it Caste of Phoebe's Romance, Class Play QL EII-Il VWOHVJ. T I-I E T A H O M A 79 was made possible to present the play in perfection Friday and Satur- day nights, June 2 and 3. . ' A h ' And what a success! Before a house crowded to very capacity each night the heroes and heroines of the bright footlights displayed their skill with such effect as to call forth many expressions of de- light and appreciation from the audience. A hit from the moment the curtain rose on the first act until it fell at the climax! Yes, sir, a hit! The play was a boomer. It meant the adding of still another diadem to the laurel crown of the Class of 1911. i The play is a pretty romance. The scene is laid in England dur- ing the 19th century and covers a period of about ten years. Phoebe discovers she has a rather tender feeling toward a certain Granville Howard, but, to her disappointment, finds no lover's response what- soever on his part. 'When the war breaks out, Howard enlists and is not seen for nearly ten years. Before leaving, he provides for the welfare of Phoebe and her maiden sister by investing their money in some supposedly safe scheme., This, however, falls through after some time and they are left without means of livelihood. Driven to desperation, they establish a children's private school in which' they are working when Howard comes home from the war. From this point on the story becomes more entangled and complicated by the introduction of a Miss Libby who, seeming to be a butterfly coquet leads a half-dozen young admirers a merry chase. Then Howard, our hero, learns that he has been deceived by Miss Libby who is in truth only Phoebe in disguise, and having found from the lightness and frivolity of Libby how much he really cares for and loves the quiet and graceful Phoebe, two hearts are united and the curtain falls. This, in brief, is the story of the play as it was presented inthe High School auditorium. Its quality was super-par, the performance, ex- cellent. , i Aside from the efficient service of Miss Perkins, the class wish! to thank Miss Burgess for her work in securing costumes for the differ- ent caste members. Considerable difliculty was met with in this re- gard but by piecing in here and there full costumes were finally ob- tained. VVe are also indebted to Mr. Sperlin primarily and secondly to the fellows who assisted him, for the effective appearance of the stage and its scenery. The work done was high class in every respect. The property committee, of which Miss Foster was chairman, worked very hard to obtain all the necessary trinkets, furniture and other thinffs to be used on the stage contributing in no small degree to the c . .

That two girls took the part of Phoebe was due to the fact that the judges were unable to single outaone of them because of superior- ity over the other. Thus each played one night, Louise Quilliam the night of June 2 and Blanche Abercrombie June 3. Both did exceed- ingly well as the leading lady and many times won the applause of the audience. Earl Jones as Granville Howard, seemed just the right fellow for the place, carrying his part with a natural ease and grace that showed his marked ability. Another who succeeded in winning the praise of the house was Aileen Alexander as Sarah. A typical old maid, yet with a spirit of youth and humor that together with the part itself kept the house in continuous merriment.

Although presented in the French language, with the aid of the neat programs which gave the main story of the play, the audience was enabled to appreciate the perform- ance throughout the entire evening. The occasion was the first of this natureatteinpted by the French Department and was certainly a success. Many have pronounced it the best of its kind ever seen-'in a High School.

View ' I BREEZES FROM EDISON HIGH Mr. Collicott and Mr. Knouff visited our school Tuesday, May 16, when we had the pleasure of listening to a short address from Mr. Knouff. He spoke very interestingly on the benefits to be derived from athletics in schools, and incidentally remarked that We should contrive in any way possible to obtain means to attend the track meet held in the Stadium, May 20. I He expressed his appreciation of the excellent spirit of co-operation with the Tacoma I-ligh, shown by ns in the past year, and spoke also of the enthusiastic school spirit which prevails at the Edison High. That same school spirit was then duly manifested in a rousing Edison High yell. A Mr. Collicott was urged to speak but declined, saying that he had come simply to introduce the speaker of the day, Mr. Knoutf. I , Baseball - The baseball team has had games with the VVhitman School and the Holy Rosary School. 'We won both games and began to think we had a team, but just then the T, H. S. second team appeared and after that one we felt considerably less like playing more games. -I Picnic I ,- 'Nlio said-picnic? Vlfe did. .This great event, the first ever held by ihe Edison Hirglnwas pulled off june 3 at 'Point Dehance. After Dostpoizing it two weeks. one week on account of the track meet at the Stadium, and one week for Mr. Parker without whom we could not andwould not go, we still expected a most enjoyable time. And we 90 THE TAI-IOMA certainly did. XV ith such attractions as the monkeys Knot our ownj, the Nerides bath house, boats, an ample supply of pretty girls four ownj, and nice boys as wellg with our teachers, chaperones, and last but not least, the big spread, we set out to make even the monkeys, if not the public, sit up and take notice of our Edison High. Farewell Edison Our happy days of the first year in the Edison High are over The loyalty to one another, the good spirit that we have carried continually has bound ns close in friendship. Vlfe have regretted to see the near approach of the end of the school year that has meant so much to us. Under the direction of -our kind teachers and friends we have pro- gressed somewhat in knowledge. Wie have made a few more friends. These give us much pleasure and wield a potent influence on the life of each of us. 555 EDISON I-llci-1 OFFICIAL STAFF V Jessie Hardy, Editor Dwight Ball, Advertising Mgr. John Xvillson, Business Mgr. THE TAI-IOMA 91 Much as we have enjoyed our present quarters, we are eagerly looking forward to the new, more spacious and beautiful South Side High School. 'We hear and read not a little, about the city, of ample gymnasiums, swimming pools, spacious playgrounds and other up-to- date features of modern High Schools and we trust these are not mere rumors. W'ith all this fine new equipment we ought to make an ad- vancement over our former efforts and we will try hard to do so. Then when we make a start into the world and its ways, we will be pre- pared to meet life's battles and feel stronger from having been together and having formulated valuable ideas which cling to us through life.

Dance Well, we won't say much about the C.U.B.S. dance at Sloan's May 6, because everyone knows what fun the C.U.B. dances always are, but of course every dance is just a little better than the one before, so this was the best ever. The shaded lights, with their soft glow, seemed like a perpetual moonlight dance except when Porter's orches- tra played a lively two-step, when everyone woke up and danced! Here's hoping that the C.U.B.S. don't get too busy to give more dances in the future. ,11 Class Party As a result of numerous noble speeches on the part of Burford, a record-breaking crowd turned out to the 1911 class party May 19 at the music hall. The entire hall was rented, so that while dancing was indulged in upstairs, the crowd below was beautifully entertained with games. The dance programs were very cute and the rooms were made to look very pretty and cozy with scoressof pennants and the class colors, maroon and white. The tables for supper were handsomely decorated with ferns and red and white carnations, while the supper itself-!! Wfell, the com- mittee had promised a 'tbig feed but the result was more than anyone had expected. Speeches by Mr. I-Iickcox and Mr. Burforcl Cwith all the usual accessoriesj brought to a close the most successful party ever attempted by the jolly Seniors. TI-IE TAI-IOMA 93 Grand Discord The class of 1912 decided to do something sensational for their iirst social event, so they planned the first picnic of the year for Ameri- can Lake, May 17. Naturally enough it rained, but the' dauntless F.I.D.D.L.E.S. not wishing all of the goodies to be Wasted, secured possession of the gym and there a general good time called the Grand Discord of the F.I.D.D.L.E.S. and B.O.VV.S. was enjoyed. C.H.E.R.U.B.S. ' The C.H.E.R.U.B.S., not to be entirely left out of the fun sur- rounding the jolly commencement season, gave an exceedingly lively party to the I.M.P.S. at the music hall May 26. The committee worked hard and the games, dancing and refreshments surpassed the wildest hopes of the naughty I.M.P.S. whose exuberance was re- strained somewhat by the lovely C.H.E.R.U.B.S. and Miss Evans and Mr. Traber. ' Senior Reception The Senior Reception, June 9, the largest- school dance of the semester, was the most successful social event ever given by the un- dergraduates to the departing Seniors. The Masonic Temple was crowded-you really couldn't expect anything else-but who cares at a Senior Reception? Certainly no one did in this case, and the merry crowd, the beautiful decorations and the music are details of a delightful evening which will never be forgotten by the graduating class, at least. S.H.I.E.L.D.S. Something new in the dancing line was introduced by the S.H.I.E.L.D.S. at Sloan's Saturday night, May 27. In the words of our illustrious president, it was something classy. The approach of the warm season makes dancing rather uncomfortable, but regula- tion of shirt waists and shirt sleeves, besides being something new, was an extremely sensible idea, and was greatly appreciated by the sulfering martyrs to Terpsichore. - The Seniors were ushered into the ranks of the Alumni by a reception and ball given to the graduates by the Alumni Association june 16, at the Tacoma hotel. The hosts certainly entertained beauti- fully and by affording us somewhat of a taste of the pleasures of alumni life, reconciled us in a mild degree to the idea of leaving the old High School. 94 Tl-IE TAI-IOMA if lg I ,143 - an 'P- 1,1 1 --eil- -rel l -f 2 El unfitguu nlnlfrfpiuu r ' 1731i-:Edin -FN .rm N ...Eff Q .:!,r A 5 flilr N E'-ffl . , 5233. iiaiii U A Gigli iraqi a ll ll Q as - i ll 12. 5' -A.3 -5 f X A Q 15 r Dean Pickett, Editor In accordance with the permission of the Adjutant General of the state, Colonel Kelly has reported the following six cadets to the Adju- tant General's office as having had the best record of military serv- ice during the year: Captain 'Everett B. Thompson. First Lieutenant Harold S. Brautigam. - First Sergeant Dean I-Ianscomb. Quartermaster Sergeant Harold P. Burdick. ' Cadet I-Iarold.Nichols. ' Cadet Nicholas Brazell. These names become a part of the military records of the state. C There was much rivalry existing in the Cadet Corps as to which of the enlisted men would win the Competitive Drill Medal for the semester. The medal was won by Cadet Nichols after a hard tussle with Cadet Brazell. C The competition for the medal was-divided into three months. Cadet Brazell won the medal for the Hrst month by freezing out the rest of the corps the greatest number of times. Then Cadet Nichols came to the front and showed what stuff he was made of by doing the same the second month. The third month was indeed in- teresting. There were five freeze outs that months. At the end of the fourth these two men were a tie, each having won one whole month and two drills of the third. A special competitive was called between the two for May 25 to decide the winner. It was viewed by only a few persons, but was worth being seen by a hundred. The competition was keen, for the winner of that particular drill would be the winner for the semester and would have his name hand- somely engraved on a gold bar suspended from the medal. This last T H E T A I-I O M A , 95 competitive, unlike the first ones, was held with judges, and was to be decided wholly' on manner of execution and soldierly bearing. After a long fatiguing drill of the two men only, it was decided that Cadet Harold Nichols was the winner. May 20, the corp received an invitation from Captain S. YN. Elli- son, commanding First Company, C. A. R. C., N. NV., to join in the Decoratioirday parade. This was respectfully declined as the corps had no full dress uniforms.. , ' ' The corps did not have uniforms this.year and no camp was held, but plans are in progress to have the Taconia High School Cadet Corps one of the leading factors in. school activities next summer. A locker room will be secured very probably, some new riHes received, and possibly uniforms, with the expected assistance of the school board, and the corps will be boosted to the front. .5515 l CADET OFFICERS H.

A splendid victory for Old Tacoma High was that achieved by Wallace MacPherson, our representative in the State Interscholastic Oratorical Contest held in Seattle May 4. Here -he ,met the best orators that the various high schools ofthe state could send. In his masterfully delivered selection For Dear Old Yale, however, Reddy convinced the judges of his superiority, and came home with colors flying and, incidentally, a neat bank roll in his pocket. VVe're all proud of the iiery-headed orator, for I-Ie's 'Reddy,' of course, and 'gets there' with force. Wallace is a member of the graduating class. May such success as this ever accompany him through life. Inter-class Debates All went merrily in the inter-class debates. Much interest was shown in every meeting. The wrangles between the A's and B's of each class produced these teams: 12B Claude Hiberly, Nettie Miller. A 11A Ford Brown, Ed Andrews. lOA Alma Tuel, Elizabeth Shackleford. 9A Fulton Magill, john Coffee. On Monday, May 15, the first of the semi-finals occurred between the 11A and 12B teams. The 11A's successfully maintained the af- nrmative of the question: Resolved, that the United States should subsidize its merchant marine. The second semi-iinal took place the following Monday. In a TI-IE. TAHOMA 99 spirited contest, the 9A team outpointed the 1OA's in upholding a ship subsidy. This leaves but two teams in the race for the championship. On Monday, June 5,'the teams representing the 9A and 11A classes clashed arms over the same question: Resolved, that the United States should subsidize its merchant marine. The 9A's argued for the affirmative' The team winning this de- bate has been ascribed the honor of the championship of the High School and the names of its members will be carved upon the Ta- homa cup trophy. VV e regret that the results cannot be published in this, our last issue. DEBATING TEAM Wallace McPherson, Howard Steere, Matthew Hill History Class Debates Miss Burgess' English History Class has found time this second semester to have three very interesting and helpful debates. The first one came off in March, the question for debate being: Resolved, that Walpole's policy was the best policy for England at 100 THE TAI-IOMA that time. The afnrniative was taken by Kenneth,Fisher, Henrietta Burmeister and Newton Buren, the negative by Esther Coleman, Roy Hawk and Elmo Stevens. The class, which acted as judge, gave a decision in favor of the affirmative. Friday, April 7, the live question of Ireland was debated: Re- solved, that the present depredations in Ireland are .due to other causes than English oppression. This assertion was upheld in the affirmative by Earlsjones, Beryl Hodge and Francis Loughlin, and in the negative by Lorena Ferrier, VVill Rockwell and Elmer Riley. The negative side won, -the class serving as judges. The third debate was held VVednesday, May 17. Margaret Ber- goust, Laura Sisson and Erville Sweeny on the affirmative, and George 'Wurtz,AIva Loughlin and Ruth Barry on the negative, argued the question which was stated: Resolved, that the cabinet systemsof government which prevails in England is- more efficient than tlie presidential system used in the United States. The negative side won by a vote of ll to 4. . ' We are informed of one important debate in Mr. Owen's histoxiy class, which occurred May Znd. The question argued was: Resolved, that Tilden was elected president of the United States, and should have been seated? The afiirmative was successfully expouncledby Elsian Conrad and Zella Turner, against Newton Buren and Esther Hammond on the negative. ' v alfalfa!

The gym was crowded both nights to its uttermost capacity and it was evident that it was thoroughly enjoyed by 'the frequent outbursts of applause. The Irish Lilt, Sailor's Hornpipef' Highland Fling and Swedish Dances were among the most graceful and interesting features of the evening. One of the prettiest numbers was a Maypole Dance 3 but the climax of the evening was when the jumping jacksi' appeared in their clown costumes. In the picked team for apparatus work the con- testants showed great skill. Emma Zeiger won lirst place with 98 pointsg Frances Reedy and Lina Pattee tied for second with 96 pointsg and Marjorie Dammann won third place with 87 points. ln the excit- ing relay races the 1lA's and 1OA's won first place. The Swedish Spell Down was very interesting. XVilma Brewer and Katherine Maxwell showed their ability by spelling down the rest of the class.

The gym girls tool: part in the minuet, maypole dance and wand and dumb-bell drills. The Festival was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. A meeting for all the girls in the school was held in the auditorium for the purpose of awarding T's to the basket-ball girls. The girls have done splendid work during the basket-ball season and we are all very proud of them. Miss Miller awarded the big Tis to Aletha Stivers, Helen Hartman, Anna Dammann, Emma Zieger, Marjorie Dammann, Marjorie Haynes, Marguerite Oathout and Lola Friars. She also ,awarded the smaller Tis to the members of the second team. Those receiving T's were: Helen Vlfebb, Lina Pattee, Marguerite Thelkeldson, Freda Wfichman and Lottie Rubicam. Everyone of the girls have played good, clean games and certainly have well earned their T's. A just talk about the good time the gym girls had May 30 at Point Defiance! They left down town at 9 olclock and diclu't return till late in the afternoon. Boating, tennis, bathing and a good big lunchg who could think of anything better! The girls all came back declaring they had the best time of the year. TI-IE.

Hartman and Dahl did fine work for Tacoma in the pitching line. The boys owe their defeat lmainly to loose playing with a little hard luck mixed in. Broadway 2, Tacoma 1-May 6 Before one of the largest crowds that has attended a ball game in the Stadium, Tacoma lost to Broadway by a score of 2 to 1. The game was lost through a decision of the umpire when he failed to call a balk made by the Tacoma pitcher. This is probably the hardest game the team has played as shown from the close score. Puyallup 2, Tacoma 8-May 13 From the start of the game Tacoma jumped into the lead and Fm- ished the game to the tune of 8 to 2. Tacoma was short some of the regular players and several of the subs' were called into action. Cap- tain Bob Smyth did not play and with a couple of the other regulars 104 ,'TI-IE. TAI-IOMA out of the game, it was hard for the boys to get in any team work, but by fast playing they made things warm for Puyallup. ' Queen Anne 8, Tacoma 7--May 17 On one of the wettest fields that Tacoma has played on this year, the team was defeated by a score of 8 to 7. Tacoma had the game cinched until the last inning when the ball became-so slippery that it could not be thrown with safety. Some of the best hitting the team ever did was seen in this game. Hamilton, the former end on the foot- ball' team, played a star game. Out of the four times at bat, he de- livered the goods, swatting the ball for three two-baggers and a single. Only for the ground rules one of these would have been a home run. Espeland pitched a nice game for Tacoma and probably would have won his game with more favorable weather. TRACK I Inter-Class Track Meet The Seniors won the Inter Class track meet by a much larger score than was expected. The Sophomores, their nearest rivals, had it all doped out how they were going to carry off the honors. It was even hinted that the medals would be distributed to the Soph's before the meet was pulled off, but the Seniors somewhat upset their nice calculations and beat them to it. Hay, Senior, Bandy, Sophomore, and Crane Freshman, were the star performers of the day. The meet was run off in fine shape. Interscholastic May 13 the track team left for Seattle where they competed against the stars of the state. The preliminaries were supposed to have been run OE in the morning, but when the team arrived at the track no one was present to receive them. The track somewhat resembled the Stadium in its oceanic days, but notwithstanding this, the meet was pulled off in fairly good shape. Tacoma did not do as well as was expected. Bandy and Hay, Tacoma's star hurdlers, both fell after obtaining a fine lead in one of the heats. This spoiled their chances for points. Interscholastic Track Meet Stadium, May 20 One of the most successful meets ever pulled off in this city and the only Interscholastic track meet held in the Stadium and pulled THE TAHOMA lO5 off by a High Schoolin the State of lK7ashington, was the one which was held here May 20. The track was in line condition, this being supplemented by a beautiful, warm, sunny iday. Two new records were established: the Pole Vault, which was won by Cockrane of Broadway, the height being 11 feet 3 inches, and the High Hurdles, won by MacGuillicuddy of Broadway, time 16 2-5 seconds. Watsoii of the Tekoa team was the individual star of the day, winning more points than any other fellow on the track. The High School is to be highly commended for the efticient management of the meet and the general success of such a novel and beneiicient enterprise. A Tacoma 5, Lincoln 4-May 23 In the second game with Lincoln things were somewhat evened up by our boys putting one over on the Seattle bunch. Although the game went rather against them until the ninth, when the score stood 4 to 2 for Lincoln, in that inning they wiggled the stick in earnest and capered about the bases to the safe number of three, which was enough. Having exhausted this spasm of energy they retired from the field with just one score to spare, and even that wasn't to spare. A date for a third game with Lincoln was set at that time, the boys hoping to turn the trick once more over our neighbors from up the Sound. Shelton 11, T. H. S. Znd 2 April 29 the second team went to Shelton and were defeated by a score of 11 to 2. This was not such a bad score considering that the team had had no practice, but still we must concede to the Shelton boys the Victory and say that they are certainly there when it comes to slugging the ball. The Shelton aggregation received us royallny and gave us a right good time. DeKoven Hall 1, T. H. S. 2nd 6 To atone somewhat for their former defeat, the second team, May 6, scratched around the diamond throwing up the dust to the tune of 6 to 1. The team showed marked improvement after a week of sys- tematic practice and more than held their own throughout the game. After the game the fellows enjoyed a dandy swim in Steilacoom lake, nearby. V Edison High 1, T. H. S. 2nd 47 At Spanaway Crossing, May ll, the second team played Edison High, coming out with the long. end of a rather one-sided score, When the boys got tired running bases the game was called, about seven innings having been played.

SHOTS AT THE BULL'S-EYE The Lost Shamrock, an Irish story in the High School Register, is well written. As it is about Pat Flannigan, it is humorous. 'A The Tolo, although small, has the marks of a good school paper-neab ness, good department work, and many cuts. The Troubaclour, with its attractive covers and interesting stories, is always welcome. We cannot pass without favorable mention of the poetry in the Clarion, Salem, Ore., which is not only good, but in unusual quantity? The March Courier contains much of interest about the present condi- tions and former history of Idaho and the city of Boise. H4 THE TAI-IOMA The Wheat is an attractive little paper, but we think it could be improved by making more of the literary department. The Cardinal, Milwaukee, has two stories this month worthy of comment, one, A Shrewd Frenchman, which is humorous, and the other a story of the track season, entitled A Dairy Product. 1 We always find the Whims, Seattle, an interesting paper, with many good cuts and cartoons. Could not the Ogden High School support a monthly paper? The Classi- cum is good, and we would enjoy receiving a copy more frequently. In the Record we find a most interesting and helpful essay on the ques- tion of Chinese Inimigration. This is a topic of vital interest to the country at large, and to iind such an article sliowqs that the high schools are interested in the live questions of our nation as well as other lines of education. The Art-Literary Number of the Ocean Breeze is a great success, and we like the spirit that promoted it. How Hampton Made Good from the Cardinal, clearly brings out the fact that when we really become acquainted with our classmates we find them a iine bunch of girls and fellows. ' iVe have just received our first Broctonia. The material is good, but we ind the same criticism as with many high school papers, that is, the lack of cuts, a feature which adds attractiveness and gives a high school atmosphere to the paper. We were surprised to see the criticism in the Eh-Kah-Nam stating that no name could be found on the cover of the Tahoma, as our monogram has been in a conspicuous place on every issue. The Cricket is certainly a iine paper. The unusual number of pictures adds much to its attractiveness. The Totem, Juneau, Alaska, has one of the iinest literary departments we have seen. It contains poems, legends of the people of that region, and essays, as well as stories. 85,4 THE' MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION Tahoma is by far the largest exchange we have received, and is well written. The literary departments are excellent. -Lens, Portland, Ore. Tahoma- You certainly stand at the head of the list of exchanges re- ceived by us this month for Quality and Finish. -Sentinel, Harvard Military School. Tahoma- Your stories and cuts are very good. All your departments are well gotten up. We could offer no criticism. -Snap Shots, Green Bay, Wis. At last the Tahoma has made its appearance. In the literary department we found seven nne prose articles, together with an abundance of poetry. This is, indeed, something found in few high school papers. The other depart- ments, especially the personal, pleased us also. There is one minor fault which we must note. In no part of the book could we learn how often during the school year the Tahoma. is published. -Rayon Record, Youngstown, 0. In Tahoma's big March issue the cuts are splendid and the stories fine, TI-IE TAI-IOMA ll5 especially, Baldwin Young's Auto, and Indigesf.ication. The short poem entitled Puget Sound is one that an excellent poet might envy. -Journal, Pittsburg, Pa. The Tahoma, bigger and better than ever before, has been read with the utmost interest. Does not something seem lacking on the cover of, your Easter issue? Should not the name of your magazine appear on the cover which is always the first part to be seen of a paper? The 'Poets' Corner' is a very in- teresting department and deserves special mention as it is at least out of the ordinary in school publications. -Eh-Kah-Nam, Walla Walla, Wash. 93.355 WHIFS FROM THE JOKER'S PEN He stood on the bridge at midnight Interrupting my sweet repose. He was a tall misquito- The bridge was that of my nose.-Ex. ' 99.2595 Willie ffranticallyjz Run, mamma, quick! The baby's eating all the currants oif the fly paper. -Ex. 05.29.33 Queen- My gracious!

' EEZ THE TRACK MEET Our track meet was a great success, Altho we did not win itg For classy grounds, they say nathless, The other Schools ain't in it. Next summer, in the second meet, Our Gold and Blue will shine. Tacoma's men, with nimble feet, The first will cross the line. ' -Gladys Flaskett i H6 THE. TAI-IOMA cuss was Senior A The last oflicial class meeting of the 1911 class was held May 29 in room 119. Details were dually arranged for Commencement week and reports of all standing committees given. . Senior B The 'IIMZ class have elected the remainder of their Tahoma Staff for the coming semester, those chosen being as follows: Literary, Lorena Ferrierg Personal, Chas. Donahueg Athletic, Glen Grossg Debate, Howard Steereg Ex- change, Elsian Conrad, Alumni, Esther Hamrnondg G. A. A., Gladys Farwellg Musical, May Draggoog Cadet, Harold Burdickg Society, Marion Whitlockg Artists, Curtis Hill and Isabel Keith. - Junior A ' The F.I.D.D.L.E.S. and B.O.W.S. on May 2 chose one of the two sets of de- signs for pins which were presented by the chairman of the committee. The pins have been ordered through Mr. Berry, a Tacoma jeweler. 'May 5, the girls of the 1912 class gathered in the teachers' parlors for a general good time. The girls were supposed to bring some embroidery, but evidently most of them were not in an industrious mood, so games were played and a general good time was enjoyed. A committee composed of Ruth Ketner, Flossie Fowler, Marguerite Oathout and Hazel Robinson, served refreshments. Junior B Hear ye, Junior B's, members of the class of 191216, illustrious inhabitants of 219 and 221, Hearken, I sa.y! One parting word would I leave with thee, and may it pierce the innermost recesses of thy apparently dormant and densi- ied pates. For long have I exhorted theegv long have I entreated thee, long beseeched thee, yea implored thee, that thou should'st DZIIISS-111idS'f. the illu- sionary fallacies and delights of thy daily enjoyments, and give me, thy most honorable reporter, those reports which reported to thee should bereported by thee as reports to the reporter who reports the reports, don't you see. But alas! alas! it has been in vain. The reports which reported to the reporter should be, have not been reported as reports to me. Now this would I say, and listen you may, for to you it is said and for you it is meant. Bestir thy- selfg arouse thy spiritg do some deed daringg get into action, shake oi thy lethargy, abandon thy slothfulnessg WAKE UP! When you return next fall start things humming. Show the anxious, agitated, palpitating public that thy faltering, hesitating, trembling footsteps are leading upward toward the goal of excellence along the path of progress. Do this, I say, and thy-at present much deserved-obliterative obituaries shall be changed to glorious praise and honor. Know ye now, however, that ye have sorely treated thy reporter, for which he is deep distressed. Kill him if ye will, but I pray you, do not take his life. TI-IE.
