Tacoma By Ianet Stwalley 0 stately mount, in grandeur unexcelled, Down through the ages hast thou reigned supreme, 0 great Tacoma, mountain that was God, An Eden far beyond a mortal's dream. Dimly outlined in a hazy mist, encircled with roseate-tinted clouds, lofty Tacoma lifts its hoary head. Slowly the clouds fade, revealing a picture which no artistas brush can paint-a magnificent mound of snow and ice sparkling in the beams from an early morning's sun. On either side rugged peaks of the Cascades, clearly cut against the glow of the eastern sky, stand as sentries to the little towns nestling amongst the fir-clad hills. Years ago, before the white man snatched from him his hunting grounds, the aboriginal named the peak, the loftiest in the range, Ta- homa or its variant. Tan in his mother tongue isaprefix which, when placed before an adjective, makes the superlative degree. Thus the In- dian uses it when he wishes to designate an object as the largest, high- est or best. In the Puyallup jargon con is given as the meaning of water and ma is translated as frozen. Together, therefore, these sylla- bles mean frozen water. Then when the Puyallup beholds the peaks of the Cascade Range he calls each one g'homa, pronouncing the h in a lou' guttural tone which no white man can render. But turning his face toward the greatest and highest heap of snow, he would mutter reverently Tahoma,,, which today we call Tacom,a,', our c coming nearest to the guttural sound of the Indian tongue. This greatest heap of frozen water was truly the mountain that was God. From earliest Puget Sound history come legends which account for the awe in which our red brothers held the sacred mountain. Many years have passed away since, according to a certain story, God, the dweller of the mountain, grew angry and set ablaze a fir grove on the southwestern side of the peak. When the flames died away there was left an extensive prairie which soon became overgrown with bluegrass and brilliantly colored flowers. It was called by the natives the land of peace and home of rest and quiet, where no evil must be committed, where one must ever be good no matter how bad he had been before en- tering the sacred ground. Here were Indians sent to meditate on their sins, with commands from the Great Chief not to return unless they vowed to the mountain god that, if again they should set foot upon the holy prairie, they would come back glorified in brave deeds. But beyond this plane would no Indian venture because he u'as sure that there dwelt the Evil Spirit. Many tales such as this have been recounted of Indian lore, and as Mount Tacoma was countless ages ago a Paradise for the red man, so now the lofty peak is a peaceful refuge for the white man, an inspira- tion to artist and poet, a year-round playground for the lover of nature. nu nuunnnunnu an an u un n 'nun n un num unnununnm n n n unnnuunauunnn THE TAHOMA To Mr. U. N. Hoffman, whose untiring efforts in behalf of The Tahoma and whose unlimited knowledge of writing and journalism have contributed greatly to the success of the annual, and whose optimism and encouragement have sustained us, we, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five, do gratefully and affectionately dedicate our Tahoma. THE TAHOMA Senior Cnoss Adoptions Qhass Song Winter's gone,' the Spring has come And each swiftly passing day Brings its closer to our goal, When we shall go away. Lest we forget these treasured hours- Our hopes, our joys, our fears- We sing this song to thee, Our School, Oar hoine for these four years. Yet we break not eoery chain That links us aye with thee For, though we go, we still retain Each precious memory. And if, upon the path of life Our way be rough and long, The strength and spirit of Stadium Again will inahe as strong. -JOHN MILLER.

It was to be bui'lt high on a cliff that over- looks the picturesque Puget Sound, with its numerous inlets and islands. In the background, which seemed just across the bay, to the west could be plainly seen the Alp-like Glympics, while to the southwest the high snowcovered peak, Mount Tacoma, jutted up from the Cascade range. It was named by the In- dians The Mountain That Was God because of its height and stateliness. Such were the wonderful prospects that confronted the Ta- coma Land Company and the Northern Pacific Railway officials, builders of that never-completed tourist hotel. Today the same scenes are viewed daily by the students of Stadium High School, for it is on this same site that the high school stands. 9 The hotel was begun in 1891 with plans for a seven-story structure. Work on the new building went on with great rapidity until the depression of 1893-94 was felt, then it began to slow up until in the year 1895 all action on erection of the building came to an end. The contractors and owners could not collect enough money to pay the workmen. So all the windows and openings were boarded up, the lumber and steel girders were put THE TAHOMA ll in the basement under cover, and the building was abandoned for the next four years. On October 11, 1898, at 7:15 p. rn. a mysterious fire broke out in the east wing of the building, and as at that time no watchman was kept the fire was far beyond control by the time a stream of water could be brought into play. People from miles around were attracted by the glare and the sparks from the flames. Firemen did everything possible to save the building but the entire inside of the unfinished hotel was burned. The only parts that remained were the strongly reinforced brick walls and six large boilers that had been stored in the west wing base- ment three floors underground. The total loss was estimated at S200,000, as the building was not insured. It was popularly believed tha.t the building was purposely set on fire. Finally, because public pride and need of a new high school, the school board, on recommendation of Architect Frederick Heath, bought the ruins of the castle-like hotel, with the sur- rounding nine acres of ground, for 334,500 on February 26, 1903. Work began immediately as at that time the old Tacoma High School was overcrowded with students. The architect changed the plans so that the building would look as if it had been originally planned for a high school, the architecture being of the French Renaissance type. So fast was the work rushed that the graduating Class of 1906 of the Tacoma High School was able to hold its graduating exercises in June in the just-completed auditorium. In Sep- tember of the same year when school opened everyone, both pupils and citizens of Tacoma, came to view the wonderful awe-inspir- ing modern high school, which had such gigantic boilers and air- breathing walls to take care of the ventilation. For days peo- ple thronged the building to view it. So well was this building constructed that even now, 20 years later, it is up-to-date in all respects. The total cost of the building at the time of its com- pletion amounted to S300,788.1S. It has been much changed and improved as the years have gone by.

Compared to other years the cast was small, including only 19 characters. This, however, does not include the parrot, cat, bird and dog, which caused so much amusement. The play, a match-making comedy in three acts, was put on in a fine way. The scene is laid in 1850 on the outskirts of London. Pom- ander Walk contains five small houses, built side by side, which are inhabited by Sir Peter Antrobus, the Brooke-Hoskyns, the Misses Pennymint, Mrs. Pamela Poskett, and the most recent tenants, Madame Lachesnais and her daughter Marjolaine, who have just come from France. They are accompanied by their French maid, Nanette. The excitement begins when Marjolaine and John Sayle, a young lieutenant in the royal navy, first meet. It certainly is a case of love at first sight. Complications ensue and when Jack is introduced to Madame Lachesnais by Sir Peter, who is an old friend of Lord Otford and his son, Madame faints. Marjolaine learns that her mother and Jack's father had been engaged once, but Lord Otford had gone away and married another girl. So when Jack does not return as he has promised Marjolaine thinks he too, is faithless, and is heart-broken. Jack is really kept away by his promise to his father that he will not visit the Walk again for a week. Lord Otford has planned a match between his son and the Honorable Caroline'Thring, an extremely rich young woman interested in social welfare work. Lord Otford will not be reconciled to his son marrying this girl from nowhere so he himself goes to Pomander Walk in an effort to prevent it. Here he recognizes Madame Lachesnais, who is equally interested in preventing the match. But despite the eiorts of both parents, Jack and Marjolaine are able to get married through theghelp .... of Dr. Sternroyd, who gets them a special license. Three other prospective matches run through the play. Barbara Pennymint and Basil Pringle are in love but he is too bashful to propose. So Barbara teaches her parrot to say, Go and tell Barbara you love her. The next time Basil is around the parrot repeats this and Basil takes the hint. Mrs. Poskett exerts strenuous efforts to bring Sir Peter under the effects of her charms and finally succeeds. Lord Otford and Madame Lachesnais find that they still love each other, so everything ends happily. if l I X 3 54- THE TAHOMA Tribal Lcgen s of 925 By Susan Fitch, Tally Maiden By the waters of the blue Sound ,Neath the snowy Mount Tahoma Where the Indian used to wander Leading there a life of pleasure High upon the verdant hilltop Is the wigwam, name of Stadium Great and splendid wigwam, truly Filled with eager youths and maidens, Seeking there from founts of wisdom, Knowledge useful through the ages. There the high and mighty sachem, Chieftain Hunt and his wise teachers, Guide the eager youths and maidens In their quest for truth and knowledge. To this lofty seat of learning On a morn in fair September, We did come from all directions, In the year of '21, Nigh three hundred shy papooses, Frightened, trembling, hearts a-flutter, Knowing naught of what awaited. For a week we wandered vaguely Through the vastness of its great halls, Slowly did our terror leave us And we grew to cherish Stadium. As the year did fade to dimness, And as a new year sprang from that one, Changed we then from little freshmen To sophisticated sophomores, Knowing all beneath the great sun. Then ,twas that we were accorded Privileges suited to our station, Verily did we enjoy these. Called were they the Matinee Dances, Pow-wows of a sort which furnished Pleasure great for those attending. When rolled around another season, Lol behold, we then were juniors, Hourly, yearly, wiser growing. Soon selected we a Chieftain Of our tribe to lead us onward, Howard Sheldon, then a young brave, Called we to this post of honor. Entertained we in December With a pow-wow for the seniors. Called we this our Junior Prom, Honored greatly were the seniors. Closer to our goal arriving Year by year our tribe was gaining Wisdom, knowledge of all good things. Arriving at our final season In the mightv wigiram Stadium, Seniors we became then truly, Blase seniors ,neath whose glances Freshmen, sophs and juniors wither, In their humble lowly station. Gathered we in solemn council To elect another leader, Howard Rae, with tongue of silver, Was our choice for tribal chieftain. Feasted we in January, Month of snows and biting north winds, To this feast came tribal members, Who did eat in great abundance. We did also have a class play, In this play our tribal actors Did acquit themselves right nobly Covering themselves with glory. Last before our final gathering, Which is termed Commencement, we do Celebrate with a reception, Where we dance with one another, In the month of roses, June. 9 Then the climax of our learning Comes, the solemn rite, Commencement, Where we bid to one another Farewell, now, but not forever. Many things have we accomplished As a tribe in this dear wigwam. Some on football fields have conquered, Some in club work have gained honor, Some in scholarship excelling. Now the tribe with reverent feeling, Turns to thank its foster mother, Stadium, we will cherish always, Stadium, we'll in mem'ry hold you Ever noble and supreme. 0 THE TAHOMA THE TAHOMA 57 Junior Qiass History , A By Peggy Campbell, Secretary Pep proved to be the password ofthe ,Class of '26, In the fall of 1922, we entered Stadium as a rollicking bunch of fresh- men. Being too playful for business affairs, the class was unor- ganized and the only officers were the two Student Council rep- resentatives, Margaret Miller and Albert King. Marjorie Miller and Kenneth White were the yearlings appointed to the Library Committee. The second year of high life found us all a year older and able to call ourselves sophomores. Although not yet of the voting age, we began to take notice of school affairs and many enthusiasts even took part in them. The Student Council rep- resentatives for the year were Irene Nicholson and Gerald Lay- ton 5 the sophomore members of the Library Committee, Alce Allen and Forrest Rice. Since these first two years were short and almost entirely uneventful, we could only appreciate more the thrill of being assembled in September, 1924, for junior roll! Being the largest Junior Class ever organized at Stadium added greatly to the enthusiasm with which we conducted our business affairs, the first of which was the election of officers. The voting, in October, was held in true democratic style with the use of petitions for selecting candidates. The signatures of 40 class members were required to nominate a person for office, thus the 'tjoke nominations were kept out and the pro- cedure was much more business-like. Another new feature the class introduced was that of campaigning before elections. Each nominator was given a chance to tell us, during roll, just why his candidate could and should fill the given office better than any one else. Some very clever speeches were given on these oc- casions, and the excitement of election was far from slow. The voting itself was done on a voting machine, which was borrowed for the purpose from the county. We voted all one day between classes and during study periods, having registered the day be- fore. The officers elected were: Joseph Griggs, president, Richar Van Horn, vice president, Peggy Campbell, secretary, Ruth Ades, treasurer, John Anderson, sergeant-at-arms. Madge Shera and William Flood were chosen as new Student Council representa- tives. The two members of the Library Committee from the 58 THE TAHOMA Junior Class were Brandt and Leonora Bloomquist. Louis Van Arsdale was chosen yell king. The one big social event of the year, the Junior Prom, held December 12 in honor of the Senior and Junior Classes, accom- plished its purpose in being a really successful party. Everyone mixed and 'tmade merry, enjoying what we termed a dandy time. The juniors in charge of it were: Joseph Griggs, presi- dent, Ruth Ades, finance, Brandt Bloomquist, music, Madge Shera, entertainment, Fred Walker, refreshmentsg Louise Wilson, decorations, Webster Fasset, publicity, Harold Pirret, tickets. A class pin committee was appointed in March to order the pins. Several first-team football men were furnished by the '26 class. John Anderson, Haddie Pirret, Archie McLean, Mel Gange and Bill Flood showed up fine in football. John Dow, De Forest Dayton and 4'Toad McDonald played first-team basket ball. Not to be outdone by the male members of the class the junior girls, with Katherine Reese as captain, won the class championship in basket ball. The class president, Joe Griggs, is one of the most active students in the school. He is president of the Student Council and was head of the Speakers' Bureau for two years, having practically founded that organization. Our new representatives to the Student Council were elected in February. They are Wal- ter Little and Lucile Veatch, who are both high in scholarship, Lucile having one of the highest averages in school. With an eventful year such as this, we can only anticipate the laurels we will bring the school when next year we are seniors. Members of the cabinet for the 1926 Tahoma were elected in April, one girl and one boy from each section of roll being chosen, or 20 members in all. Those elected are: Alce Allen, Eva Davis, Grace Gudmundsen, Louise Wilson, Alice Stryker, Naomi Janes, Gertrude Burnard, Isabelle Richards, Alice Mc- Creery, Isabelle Moore, John Gardner, John Anderson, Richard Summers, Grayfe Hiberly, Ardell Dayton, Ferris Nicholson, Kenneth White, Brandt Bloomquist, Gershom Rowland and War- ren Mahaffay. 1 THE TAHOMA The Mountain That Was God When morning gilds the eastern skies, And waking birds their matins sing, Thy grandeur meets my seeking eyes, Thou mountain that was God! The rosy tint of setting sun Turns crimson thy eternal snows, A blood red crown when day is done, Thou mountain that was God! Oh, stately monarch of the West, Below thy crest of ice and snow, Soft verdure lies upon thy breast, Thou mountain that was God! Reigning in lovely majesty The mighty ocean at thy feet Thou'rt a sight that men come far to see, Thou mountain that was God! Wrought by The Almighty Hand, Ageless, changeless as the sun, The pride and boast of our fair land, Thou mountain that was God! -HARRY M. TILLOTSON JR. THE TAHOMA THE TAHOMA 61 Soplhoimiore Qlass llgllilsltory By Eloise Sanders, Secretary-Treasurer Two years of our allotted four years have now passed within the walls of Stadium. In February of nineteen hundred and twenty-three a vast multitude of freshmen, gathered from the many grade schools of our city, assembled in the halls and class rooms of Stadium. This throng formed the nucleus of the Soph Class of today. The original number has grown considerably, for now the Sophomore Class proper is composed of three classes that have entered at different times, and we number nearly one thousand with residences permanently established in thirty-two roll rooms. The first year absolutely nothing was permitted us in the way of social activities for our class. We were expected to devote ourselves to study, and this we did eagerly, wading through Latin, English, history and math with great enthusiasm, and making good. Then at last in our second year our principal said that we might organize, a privilege never before given the sophomores, and that we might have a constitution and be a regular class. There was chosen the Sophomore Council, a student body repre- senting the diierent roll rooms. The council elected the following oflicers: Willard Aldrich, president, Thomas Morrow, vice-presi- dent, Virginia Cornell, secretary-treasurer, later Eloise Sanders upon Virginia's resignation, and William Leuenberger, sergeant- at-arms. Ed Coy was made yell leader and there was also elected from the council representatives to the Student Council and to the Library Committee. After this election, the constitution was written and adopted by the roll rooms, and a sophomore yell and class colors were accepted. Thus we became in truth an organiza- tion with a definite head. Now we could and would, with Mr. Hunt's permission, plan something in the way of entertainment. Several plans were sub- mitted and at last the plan of a great Sophomore Mixer was agreed upon. It was a great success, with dancing, games and entertain- ment not to mention the punch, in fact it was nearly the biggest success in the way of a mixer that Stadium has ever had, as five hundred and fifty attended. All debts have now been paid off, we have money in the treasury, it will soon be June and all is well with the sophs. THE TAI-IOMA Senior Selections Most popular boy: Hito Okada.

The cast and chorus were all from the boys' and girls' glee clubs. Through the coaching of Clayton Johnson, musical director, and the hard work of the cast, the opera was a great success. The leading parts were taken by Frances Allen, in the role of Marie, or Mam'zelle Taps, a courageous French girl, and Arthur Davison as the Yankee soldier, Alonzo Mills. Other prominent parts were played by Donald Baldwin as the father of Marie, a retired French colonel, Philip Berg in the role of Captain Gringo, spy and villain but nevertheless suitor to Marie, Mildred Beal as Aunt Josephine, Alden Woodworth and Alfred Leckenby, French and English soldiers, also suitors to Marie, Beatrice Ray as Peggy of the 'tTommywaacs g Margaret Krull, the nurse, Harry Tillotson in the role of Lewis Potter, an Am- erican motion picture photographer, who unsuspectingly aids Marie in exposing Gringog Howard Burroughs, a wounded soldierg Bessie Lou Day as the Duchess of Donchester, foe to nicotine, and Walter Anderson as Edmund Pompus, a Shakespearian trag- edian, two especially humorous characters. The drill of the Tommywaacs seemed to please the au- diences. ENTIRE CAST OF ANNUAL OPERA V THE TAHUMA 67 PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS OF OPERA The plot of the opera is Woven around Marie, a French girl, who discovers that Captain Gringo, one of her most pressing suitors, is a spy. In order to expose Gringo she promises to marry him if he will bring her certain information. This makes her other soldier-boy suitors think she is faithless. But the spy is exposed and each soldier finds the right girl, Marie consenting to Wed the American. Although the scene is laid during the war, the opera is strictly humorous. The chorus, composed of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, was colorfully dressed in the costumes of French peasants. GIRLS' CLEE CLUB 68 'l' ll li 'l' A H 0 M A BOYS' CLEE CLUB Greatly appreciated by the school were the musical numbers sung by the glee clubs at the various assemblies. The girls' glee club this year was especially large, having over 40 members. The boys' club was much snialler, having only about half that number. A new feature in music activities was the forming of two jazz orchestras, which furnished the music for many school af- fairs. The boys who have given up so much of their time to furnish this deserve the thanks of all. Among the affairs at which these orchestras played were the matinee dances and the senior banquet. The Stadium band of 50 boys, under the instruction of Harry W. Evans, is now a permanent part of the music depart- ment. Great progress has been made during the year. Instead of being divided and practising at different times as was done last year, it has been able to practise ensemble. Considering that the band is only in its second year, the result is surprising to most people. Not only has it played at interscholastic games iwhen the Weather would permitj but also at pep assemblies and at the night-shirt parade program. The band assembly, which included waltzes, foxtrots, overtures and marches, illustrated the broad scope of study. The familiar sight of Mr. Johnson waving time for the school orchestra reminds all Stadiumites of how faithfully that same orchestra has done its part in furnishing its share of programs at all the assemblies. There has hardly been an asseinbly during the year at which the orchestra has not played. ,, THE TAHOMA 69 JAZZ ORCI IESTRA Concerts have been held on Friday in senior roll as in for- mer years. After the first few the committee in charge of pro- curing the music, composed of Randall VVilliams, Geraldine Bur- kett and Verna Goss, decided to have concerts every other week instead of every week. Principal Hunt approved this plan. So although only half as many concerts have been held, it certainly would appear that quality has made up for the lack of quantity and that the seniors have learned to appreciate the music more. The musicians procured by this committee, many of whom were former Stadium students, succeeded in pleasing the seniors, judg- ing from the comments heard around school. STADIIBI BAND 70 THE TAHOMA ORCHESTRA The 1925 performance of the Women's Glee Club of the Washington State College was given at Stadium in February and delighted every one that heard it. The 24 girls, all with well- trained voices, presented a Well-balanced program of musical skits, dancing and solos. A great deal of interest was centered around Janet Rae, a Scotch comedienne of much ability, who was a former well-liked Stadiumite. Upholding the custom started some years ago, a double quar- tet of girls selected from the girls' glee club sang carols through the halls on Tuesday of Christmas Week. They also sang at the musical assembly scheduled for that same week. The girls lucky enough to have been chosen Cand in this manner skip classes during the dayl were Bessie Lou Day, Margaret Krull, Beatrice Ray, Gladys Iverson, Margaret L. Miller, Mildred Beal, Gertrude Olson and Antoinette Mueller. A number of one-act plays have been put on this year as entertainments at various social functions. The first one, The Flitter Mouse, was given at the night shirt parade program in the auditorium. The cast was: The mother, played by Madge Sherag Maud, her oldest daughter, by Darthea Swang Prissie, the young flapper sister, by Emily Tarrg and Gerald, a young college professor, by Alden Woodxvorth. The Junior Prom play, A Proposal Under Difficulties, was especially humorous and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The name almost explains the plot. A young business man, Bob Yardsley, tries to propose to Dorothy Andrews. The interruptions caused by Jennie the maid and Dorothy's other suitor cause many com- THE TAHOMA 71 plications. Those taking the parts were: Alfred Leckenby as Bob Yardsleyg Grace Gudmundsen as Dorothy Andrewsg Brandt Bloomquist as the rejected suitor and Margaret Krull as the maid. For the first time in the history of Stadium, a New Year's assembly was held at which the Christmas play Upon the Waters was given. The postponement of this play was necessitated by the absence of one of the cast. There was an assembly inasmuch as school was in session the last three days of the year. The plot was Woven around Becky, who could be happy only through serving others. This fact was discovered by Elinor, her daughter- in-law, who succeeded in making her Christmas a happy one after all the attempts of Becky's brother and others had failed. Frances Allen in the role of Becky Hales did particularly well. Webster Fassett acted the part of her brother Benjamin. Evelyn Young was her housekeeper. Her daughters-in-law, Martha and Elinor, were played by Elizabeth Jones and Norma Judd. The Kipling program, presented at the Thanksgiving as- sembly, was Worked out by Miss Black and members of her classes. The speeches at the Washington's Birthday assembly were also given by pupils from the oral department. STAGE CREW 72 THE TAHOMA Editorials To tlhfe Class oif an Appreciation In a few weeks the members of the Class of 1925 will be numbered among the graduates of Stadium High School, and all of the duties and pleasures incident to their high-school life will be closed. The four years for many have been crowded to the limit with work. Debating, athletics and activities of many kinds have claimed much attention, but the high standard of scholarship maintained by the class, as a whole, stands a witness that studies have not been neglected. Institutions, as well as people, have ideals-things for which they stand. It is the ideal of Stadium High School to turn out well-rounded individuals, properly equipped to take the next step in life, in whatever field it may be. Probably no factor has a greater iniiuence in the realization of this ideal than the atti- tude of the students themselves. In this respect the Class of 1925 has never failed us. Their uniformly fine spirit has won for them the sincerest praise and the warmest friendship of the faculty. LINNIE KILLSON, Representing the Faculty. Vllqo all my llzllrienails of tlhe glass oil' i252 I sincerely hope I have not misstated myself in claiming each and every member of the Class of '25 as a friend. It has been a year of endless pleasure and profit to me to have had the opportunity and honor of heading and representing such a fine group of fellow students. All the duties and respon- sibilities occurring during the year have been very light, thanks to the hearty cooperation and support given to me by each and every member. I have endeavored to the best of my knowledge and ability ,to conduct the class in the spirit of One for all and all for one, and hope that I have succeeded somewhat to- wards that end. After all has been said and done and we look back upon our accomplishments we can see now where we may have been wiser in carrying out certain purposes and ideals which possibly could THE TAHOMA 73 have been worked out much better in other ways. But we gain through experience and if the class has profited ever so little by the efforts of one who has had the welfare of the class at heart he is indeed repaid for all of his effort. The friendships formed and the happenings of high school life will always be cherished memories to me. 'I am very grateful for the opportunity of expressing in the annual my personal feelings towards each member and the teachers of the Senior Class of '25, and I wish you all untold success in the future. WM. HOWARD RAE, President of the Senior Class. Evolution I am a freshman. The faculty is to me an evil-eyed ogre hovering over my every move eagerly awaiting an opportunity to send me to the office. I am a sophomore. The faculty is still on my trail with a hand full of yellow slips and an overwhelming desire to give me 65 in all my subjects. I am a junior. I have been here two years now without getting into trouble and I know more than the faculty. Their instructions and warnings go in one ear and out of the other. I am a senior. Experience has come to the aid of the in- structors and I am beginning to look back and realize the value of their sermons . Now I look upon them as friends and receive valuable advice as to the corrections of my weak points which they have observed during the long time we have been associated together. Honor rolls are not to be sneered at now. In the above 'I have tried to portray the different steps in a high school career as they have occurred to me. I have tried to show the various shades of feelings in regard to the faculty which come over students as they become older and more ex- perienced. We look back now and realize that they have treated us squarely and have done their best to instruct us and that we have been the fools, not they. At any rate we are not as thankless or as dumb as we may 74 THE TAHOMA have led you to believe, faculty, and our one hope is that after commencement night we can think back on each one of you as a friend. JOSEPH E. BLUM, Editor, The Tahoma. 7lFllllfB MMTCM oil liDlI 0glI fBSS With Stadium becoming a senior high school this year, an im- portant and beneficial change has taken place. No longer are the halls and classrooms congested with the half-dazed and frightened freshmen, nor are the school activities taken part in by the juniors and seniors only. Today at Stadium are three well-organized groups of pupils, the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes. Each class has its own social affairs, and they are on an equal basis so that one class has as many rights as the others. In all, Stadium can be regarded as a well-oiled and perfectly balanced machine. On the other hand, the large group of young pupils formerly at Stadium known as the lost babes in the woods are now at Jason Lee Intermediate School, being called the lions of the forest, for they rule supreme in all activities there. As they are the leaders, the ninth graders take part in all school func- tions, thus forming the habit so that when they come to Stadium a year later they are prepared and Willing to enter into the numerous affairs offered in school life here. They will form a strong class that can successfully compete with the other two classes. I I Instead of being down-trodden for two years, the student is upraised and he is given a chance to display his ability in the varied activities of school life from the ninth grade through his four years. I am assured by the great progress Stadium has made during this year under the three organized classes that the high school is still advancing to the desired goal, that of giving the students the best advantages possible for obtaining a successful and valu- able education.

I s A e ,.-.. .., ,W-ms.. - From just a little school girl in Stadium to stardom in the movies! That is a record envious to many girls. It happens only rarely. But Mildred Davis burst in upon Hollywood and soon won her way to the top. Now the viv- acious wife of the famous com- edian of the silver sheet, Harold Lloyd, and mother of little Mil- dred Gloria, she happily and suc- cessfully keeps up her career and does not neglect home duties. While at Stadium Mildred, as is vouched by all her teachers, was a splendid student. She entered in February, 1914, and special- ized in art under Miss Lucy Tripp, which she took for five semesters. The lure of the glit- tering lights of movieland capti- vated her after her two and one- half years of high school life, so she hastened to join the throng of stardom seekers in Hollywood. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, was her motto. Rejections met her by the dozensg but, firm in the belief of her ability to make a success, she forged ahead and obtained the long-sought prize. Ten years had elapsed since her flight to the South, ten years of success. Then back she came to her old home town to visit again the scene of her schooldays, on April 21, 1925. In a mad rush Stadium received her and her famous husband. Ten min- utes of riotous joy, a crushing crowd of students, rushing and pushing to catch a glimpse of a star in real life who had sudden- ly dropped among them. Ten min- utes, then it was over! Whisked off along Stadium VVay in a car, the well-known stars of movie- dom were gone. But each time a Stadium stu- dent sees the broad grin, the in- evitable spectacles of Harold, or the diinpling face of Mildred, the remembrance of that short visit to Stadium will fill his mind. THE TAIIOMA THE TAHOMA as oysy Athletics Hy Stillman McLemore The Old Urder Qlhanges Among the many important changes that have taken place in the educational world during the past twenty years, perhaps the greatest of all has been in the athletic policies of high schools, colleges and universities. This change from the old to the new conception of athletics may be illustrated by the following edi- torial in a recent issue of The Athletic Journal: The purpose of athletics is to win contests. When a man accepts a position as an athletic coach his sole aim and endeavor should be to accomplish results in terms of victories. It may be necessary to sacrifice a man now and then to achieve success but this does not matter-the in- dividual players are but pawns who should be sacrificed, if necessary, to bring the winning score. If officials can be intimidated, it is legitimate to threaten them in the hopes of getting the majority of the close de- cisions. Gentleme'n's agreements regarding eligibility rules are scraps of paper. It matters not whether the rules permit the hiring of playersg if a championship can be gained by playing hired men in amateur contests, they should be used because the big thing is winning. This is one con- ception of athletics. Then there is another view held by some regarding the purpose and aims of athletics, which is that the coach is an educator whose first r'e- sponsibility is to the boys, and his second responsibility is to the institu- tion he represents and to society. The men who have this conception of athletic objectives believe that through the medium of athletic activities qualities of character not tested by either a physical efficiency, or a Binet test, may be stressed and developed. They believe that athletes should learn to play their best, to carry on when punished, or when behind in the game, or the race, and to know the meaning of a sacrifice. They fur- ther believe that all games should be honorably contested, that the rules should be scrupulously observed and that gentlemen's agreements re- garding eligibility and codes of ethics should be respected. The coach who accepts this view of athletics is committed to the task of improving citizenship. It is the purpose and desire of the physical training and athletic department of the Stadium High School to offer every student the opportunity in some form to develop his body in a perfectly normal, healthful way. The human body is the most wonderful of all machines and it should be used and not abused. The great tragedy of the World War in our country was the fact that over two million men were found to be physically unfit. Why did so many fail? It was because, instead of conserving their powers and laying up a physical reserve, they had dissipated them in some way. You of the Stadium High School have a won- derful gift of physical power. Conserve it by living a regular, orderly life. Sleep eight or nine hours a day, eat regularly and do not dissipate. Along with the physical development, do not neglect the men- tal. Build up within yourselves the power to acquire the right kind of ideals. Upon such a foundation-a sound body and a clean mind-you cannot fail to come through. E. E. PERKINS. 84 THE TAHOMA ummarizing oinntinnfeinut So far this year it seems that our Railsplitting oppon- ents have had the best of the athletic arguments. However, all but the basket ball were closely contested. The hoop series went to the South Siders because they had a superior team. When this goes to press football, basket ball, wrest- ling and soccer have been decided. The first three went to Lincoln and the latter ended in a tie series, Even now baseball followers are in the midst of the clash with Lincolng the swimming team is training hard, the track men have just finished a highly successful relay meet, and the racquet wielders are entering upon the semi-final round of the elimination tournaments. Stadium has always won both tennis and swimming and the chances to repeat history look good. Coach Deal has lost but one baseball championship in seven years, and Coaches Vern L. Clark and Chief Carr are working on the makings of a first-class track team now. The attitude of the two rival schools this year toward Mr. VOFH Clark each other is the best it has been for some time. There was no sarcastic Thank you rolled back across the bowl when one school gave a yell for an injured member of a rival team, The yell leaders did not stand on opposite sides of an imaginary dead line and yell witless things through their megaphones. Instead, they met on the field of bat- tle, exchanged megaphones and led the other school in a yell. Keith Goodman, who came here new last fall as an athletic director and wrestling coach, took the place of Will T. Duggan, who left permanently for Australia. Mr. Goodman is a graduate of Stadium and still has a sweater that he earned through playing on the varsity grid squad. His efforts with the grappling team can be seen later on in this section. Coach L. L. Deal took over the reins of the basket ball teams and inaugurated the two-team system that almost spelled defeat for the Lin- colnites in the first game. Although the championship went to Lincoln, Mr. Deal put out a fighting team that Stadium was proud of. The hearts and appetites of 63 grid men took fresh hope when Mr. Perkins announced that a football banquet would be served to the football lettermen. It was a success from every angle-oyster cocktails, banana- pineapple salad, roast turkey with cranberries, mashed potatoes, peas, celery, olives and apple pie a la mode were placed before those huskies and, wow, how they disappeared. A jazz orchestra, impromptu speeches and songs were a part of the program. Worth while, football men? Then came the football letter assembly where the fellows received their hard-earned awards. All were seated on the stage and after a few brief talks the emblems were awarded. The new first-team sweaters did not show up on time for the assembly but arrived soon after, and the proud possessors are now to be seen wearing them around the halls. In a letter sent to Stadium April 20, Principal R. E, Cook of Lincoln forfeited to Stadium the first-team and midget basket ball championships and the second-team soccer series because two Lincoln men who had played in these series were found ineligible. THE TAHOMA 85 llfirstsylpeam lgootlballll The Mark L. Davis' trophy went to Lincoln this year again after we had just won it back. But, fellow Ben- gals, they earned it in three games, two scoreless ties and a 3 to 0 vic- tory, for the championship and the trophy. Errors and fumbles galore result- ed when the teams met at Lincoln for the opening game. The bowl was a mass of mud. The Stadium backs hammered the Black and Gold line for gains only to lose the ball on a fumble. Lincoln likewise was troubled by the condition of the ball B Sam Hansen and their attempted aerial attack Mr. Myron Carr failed. Several short passes worked for yardage until Chief sent Sheldon into the fray. The next Lincoln pass settled into I-Iowie's arms and the Railsplitters abruptly ceased this method of attack. Votaw and Hansen battered the Linco'ln line for several good gains. History was made when the second game also ended in a scoreless tie. Almost the entire game was played under the worst weather conditions imaginable. The bowl was covered with slush, snow and water from whistle to whistle. Both elevens tried hard to score and both nearly succeeded. In the first half our Blue and Gold warriors were within five yards of the Lincoln goal-line but were unable to shove the ball over. The South Enders had the ball within a similar distance of the Blue and Gold uprights in the second half but also failed. Drop- kicks by both teams also proved ineffective although the Stadium stands rose as a man when one of Votaw's kicks tipped the top of the goal standard. The third game concluded the first prep series to end with an uncrossed goal line. Rick Johnson's drop-kick in the first quarter was the lone score of the contest. Stadium, although fighting desperately, at no time threatened the Lincoln goal. The eleven from the South End outplayed but did not outfight our men. Again to Votaw fell the brunt of the attack. Sta- dium's defensive methods made him bring his educated toe into play time and again. He came through with the goods. and outpunted his Lincoln adversary. 86 THE TAHOMA SAMUEL HANSEN Sam was selected to lead his teammates into battle this year. With the title of captain resting up- on his broad shoulders, he played a good game, as usual, in both posi- tions that he filled during the sea- son. He started out as a halfback and ended up by playing on the line. VERNON VOTAW Vern finished his high-school foot- ball by playing as he never had played before. He was the triple- threat man of this season, and his passing, punting and line-bucking pulled the team out of the hole of- ten. Vern literally kicked Stadium out of much trouble. Of his many kicks from back of the goal line not one failed. He played at full- back. JACK CAVIN Speed will be remembered long- er for his hard tackling than for any of his other football traits al- though he could run down punts and snag passes with the best of them. This was Jack's last year on the squad. He played end and half- back and was at home in either position. MELVILLE GANGE Mel, practically an unknown quan- tity in the grid world, was playing on the second team when he caught Chiefs eye and landed a berth on the varsity. He held down the posi- tion of fullback and carried the ball like a veteran. His fighting spirit caught the coach's attention and if he continues to do the same work next fall he will be sure to be one of the luminaries, HOWARD SHELDON Howie, the smallest man on the team, weighing a bare 140 pounds, played in the backfield and won his varsity US . His rise in football was rapid-from midget to intermediate, to first team. It was Howie who was sent into the first game to stop Lincoln's aerial attack when they seemed almost sure of a touch- down by this route. The next at- tempt nestled in Sheldon's arms and the Railsplitters promptly stopped. XiQg..fZ. 'Q . f a Qlfffx. THE TAI-IOMA WILLIAM FLOOD Bill played a faultless game at center this year under the most trying weather conditions. His ac- passing in the teeth of snow, curate rain, slush and bitter cold caused much comment. In addition Flood was at the foot of every play and formed the foundation for Stadium's stone Wall. LESTER WINCARD Les was very versatile this year, and Lincoln never knew just where to look for him. End, tackle and guard were the positions assigned to Les to fill, and he filled them all capably. His big hands have left their imprint upon more than one luckless Railsplitter. HAROLD l'lRRET Haddie is rather modest about his grid abilities, but he played a fine game for Stadium and where- ever he wasiCoach Carr tried him out at both tackle and end-he made good. Making good seems to be a habit with Haddie anyhow. He broke up many plays at end and the backs relied upon him when he played a tackle berth. i PAUL ANDERSON Andy was the brains of the '25 varsity grid squad. He quartered the eleven through three hard games and had the football ability needed by a good quarter to call the right signal at the right time. He was a good back-field man and lsattered at Lincoln's line for gains more than once. THOMAS MORROW Tommy was one of the reasons why Lincoln never crossed our goal- line this season. He played a tackle position and showed particularly well as a defensive player. It was a task to make any yardage through his side of the line. Ziff--'- ,-v .1 I 2Z'if:::- zif- ff 88 THE T JOHN ANDERSON Johnny was a good football man whenever he got serious long enough, and he was very serious this season. Years ago a little boy became famous for sticking his fin- ger in a hole in the dike and sav- ing Holland. Johnny likewise was sent in to plug up leaks in the line. He was as successful as the little boy for he hit the line hard. FRANK JURICH Swede and left-end were syn- onymous this year. He was a fast man and his tackling and blocking were masterpieces of their kind. The Dutchman never dropped a pass either when he snatched it out of the ozone. His hands seemed like glue. ARCHIE McLEAN Mac was also one of those fel- lows shifted around. He traded an end for a halfback position, and vice versa, so often that he became adept at both. He was a good of- fensive player and had the ability to open holes for the backs. MELVIN BLACK Mel was a speedy, hard-tackling end who ruined many of the Rail- splitters' hopes for an end run. It was disgusting ito the Black and Gold rootersl to see him tear in and spill several men before the play got under way. JAMES HAMILTON Fat came from Kentucky to play on the varsity grid team as his brother had done before him. He left soon after football was over. Jim played a guard position and played it well. ROBERT WARNICK Bob was a fighter from the word go and one can easily verify the statement by looking at his picture. His aggressive style of play showed up well on the offensive. AHOMA Q---3 1 .. - - . ' ? ,..... ' raft' TI-IE TAHOMA mme Un, Stfamfmlliumy, YELL LEADERS VIEWS OUT OF THE MIST so T H 1-3 'r A H o M A Second-Team llfoottlballll ral'-3 y No longer shall the second team be called scrubs -for they were the only grid team to win the champion- ship in their class this year. And, according to Mr. Howard M. Carr, who coached the team through their season of victory, a second-team let- ter is much harder to earn than any other. At any rate, the boys stepped out and defeated the Railsplitters' second-string eleven two times in a row after the Lincoln squad had won the first tilt. By virtue of a passing game the 'South Siders won the first struggle e Burroughs 7 to 0. The game was played on aMr. Howard Carr field of mud and the fact that the Lincolnites completed four out of five aerial attempts showed how well they had planned their overhead attack. It was in this game that Mel Gange showed up so well, caught Chief's eye and landed a varsity berth. In the second fracas which ended 6 lo 0 in favor of Stadium, the lone score was made by Kovack and Kachlein, who fell on a blocked punt behind their oppon- cnts' goal-line.' Despite the fact that the score came about partly through luck, the Railsplilters were on the defensive most of the time. Pentecosfs attempted drop- kick failed in the first quarter. but Stadium's passes brought the hall to the goal- line in the fourth Canto. only to be lost on downs. It was then that the North Enders blocked their punt and won the battle. From the third game, which was featured by long runs, Stadium emerged on the high side of a 14 to 7 score, with the laurels of that division safely entwined about their helmets. Pentecost figured prominently in that victory by packing the ball on a 30-yard trip for the first tally and later in the clash carrying the oval on a 90-yard jaunt which made it possible for Kovack to convert it into another touch- down. Pentecost successfully kicked both tries-for-point. T H E T A H o M A 91 Intermediate Football 'B 0 A rss 'CTP Coach William M. Jolliffe's intermediates again went down to defeat before the onslaught of the Lincoln 140 pounders. They dropped the first game 19 to 0, the second 13 to Og and in the third they held Lincoln to a scoreless tie. While the mid- dies faced an admittedly better team, they did so with the old Stadium never-say-die spirit and need to be commended for their efforts and grit. The first game, to sum it up briefly, was too much Lincoln backfield. The experienced Black and Gold backs went through and around the Tiger team for a total of 19 points. At this time the Dayton-to-Yingling combination plan of working to- M, Wm. Jglliffe gether showed up to advantage. ,Showing a lot of courage and fight, the team met the South Enders in the second battle and got the jump on them to the ex- tent of getting first down. The march soon halted, however, when a Lincoln man intercepted a pass and ran 73 yards for a touchdown. In the next quarter the feat was duplicated another time to Lincoln's credit. But Yingling again showed up by leading a dazzling attack in the last quarter. The ball was carried to within striking distance of the goal-line once but there the Lin- coln team held. In the third and last game, a scoreless tie, Lincoln took the aggressive despite the loss of Crowder, their speedy back, and had the better of the affair for three quarters. They crossed the line once but the touchdown didn't count because of an off- side penalty. 92 THE TAHoMA Midget llqlootlballl , The Tiger Babes tied their series with Lincoln this year. Coach ford's eleven Won the first contest a 12 to 0 score, the Blue and Gol turned the tables on them in the sec- ond clash with a 6 to 0 victory, and the third battle ended in a scoreless tie. The teamwork of the Tiger mid- gets in the first game, played in the South End bowl, was not of the and the Railsplitters had two downs shoved over before the Sta- dium squad could stop their attacks. Not until the final quarter did -'mfr' McLemore Bengals realize that they could play Mr. c. A. Arpke football and from then on our backs hammered their line for gain after gain, only to have the game end before they could cross their opponents' goal line. Smarting under their defeat but still confident, the Cubs defeated their rivals in the second game in the North End bowl. The score does not represent the true state of affairs for Coach Arpke's midgets went over, under and around the over-confident Lincolnites. Both teams were prepared for a battle in the last game, with the result that neither of the two was able to score. The ball was carried repeatedly from one end of the field to the other. At one time Lincoln came within 5 yards of the Blue and Gold scoring zone but was held by the Stadium line. E TA IIO 94 Tl-IE TAHOMA Vlllllhe Baslkeit Ballll Series , Lincoln made a clean sweep of the basket ball series this year by winning the class series, midget, second-team and first-team titles, but not with as .much ease as the South Side School expected. Coach Deal's varsity cohorts, in the first game, gave the over-confident Railsplitters the surprise of their lives. By sending a fresh team in at the end of every quarter and having each squad fight des- perately, Stadium was able to hold its opponent to an 8 to 6 score in the first half. In the next half- time period, however, the South Enders doubled their efforts and their points, while the Bengals were unable to locate the basket for a single point. In the second tilt Coach Jensen's proteges a stepped out and beat the Tigers 37 to 7. They MP- L- L- Deal had got over their dose of over-confidence and played good heady basket ball. They worked smoothly like a machine, with no visible effort rolling up the score against the Tiger fives. Coach Deal's two-team system did not faze them. They fed Griswold, who stood in the vicinity of the basket. Despite their defeats and the loss of the championship, the Tiger team fought hard in the last game but lost 27 to 7. The half ended 8 to 7 and things looked good for the North Enders, in fact, the rosy hue remained until in the last quarter when Lincoln sent in a few subs to bolster up the team and they went on a shooting spree and scored the rest of their points. Out of the nine prep basket ball games played this season, the second team was the only one to win a game. It was deci- sively beaten 25 to 11 in the first tilt and 21 to 16 in the second, but in the final clash the Tiger five, although the championship had been lost, showed vast improvement and won 18 to 11. After getting a commanding lead the Stadiumites used their heads and played a waiting game. Twin Dayton caused much comment by his constant and prolonged holding of the ball. The Lincoln men were disgusted and even many North End rooters began to wonder and to question, but through it all one could see Mr. D'eal's coaching. After the game Ardell explained with a grin, They couldn't score when we had the ball. The baby Tigers fought on the same nights and went down to defeat with their big brothers this season. They steadily got better and in the final contest lost by a mere point. This midget- team battle ranks with the best of games ever fought in the prep THE TAHOMA 95 MIDGET TEAM calendar. First one team then the other would take the lead, with neither having a decided advantage. However, the Stadium paperweights were ahead by a margin at the end of the first, second and third quarters. In the last minute the Black and Gold quint turned the tables and had a point ahead. The first two games ended 22 to 6 and 15 to 11, Lincoln. Hito Okada, midget captain, showed up best in all the games. He fought gamely every moment of the time and led his team into the fray for Stadium with a grim determination to put up a battle, and the results show that they did. 5 sEcoND TEAM ,V . of y S3 rl , Q, Y ' J 96 THE TAHOMA Big S Claim The Big S Club only entered upon the second year of its being last September but now is one of the strongest and most efficient organizations at Stadium High. Let the Big S Club do it, seems to be the policy of the school for it is very active and is continually being called upon to perform some ser- vice and, as yet, the boys have not failed to come through. The organization has a new set of officers each semester. The fall semester saw Rod McLemore installed as president. Sam Hansen was elected to fill the vice-presidency and the other officers named were: Grayfe Hiberly, secretaryg Joe Hansen, treasurerg Thomas Morrow, ser- geant at armsg and Edward Eddy, Students' Council representative, In the spring elections Red,'y Sam and Joe were replaced in their respective positions while John Anderson took the office of secretary, Lester Wingard, sergeant at arms and Hiberly as representative to the Students' Council. Taking upon themselves the refcreeing of the North End grammar school baseball games was one of the tasks the members did. A recom- mendation from the club-that Big S men will paint the huge Stadium sign below the bowl if the Students' Council will furnish the funds+was accepted by the council. Big S men officiated and policed the annual night-shirt parade. This same sort of work has been done at numerous school affairs since then and the fellows working in conjunction with the Triple S girls have main- tained a high degree of order. The boys' mixer, the first of its kind, was sponsored and staged by the organization and the consensus of opinion seems to be that it should be a yearly event. THE TAHOMA 97 Jraclk Team, Track also went to Lincoln last year. The final score stood 725 to 56V2 and it was seen early that the fleet-footed Rail- splitters had the meet cinched. This is the first time, however, that this feat has been accomplished in years. Jack Cavin, who was high point man in the novice and class meets, held the same honor in the interscholastic event. He had 16 points to his credit. The events and results: High hurdles: Booth, Lincoln, first: McMillan, Lincoln, second: Cavin, Sta- dium, third.

The only event won by Stadium was the 440. Don Piersol, Harold Brotman, Mort Woodward and Jack Cavin were the four quarter-milers to bring home the laurels of their class and to win letters for themselves. In the medley, a Stadium man had the lead in all but the final mile. This was a very exciting race. The 220 was Lincoln's from the start and although Eckrom, last man, shortened the lead of the Railsplitters, he was not able to win. . As in the medley the Blue and Gold milers held the lead un- til the last but were nosed out at the finish. The half-mile was Lincoln's from the start. The events and results: 220-Won by Lincoln.

SECOND TEAM 102 THE TAHOMA SUCCCEI' VARSITY TEAM The soccer series this year ended in a tie. The first game was a scoreless draw, the second battle Went to Lincoln by virtue of a 1 to 0 tally and the third tilt was captured by the Stadiumites who scored 2 to 1. In all of the games that went overtime the Tigers would play circles around their opponents in the regular time but in the extra periods the Railsplitters would come back with a vengeance and put the Blue and Gold squad on the defensive. SECOND TEAM Second team soccer was initiated this year by a win for Lin- coln. Although the North Enders won the last game 2 to 1, the Railhewers took the laurels of their class by winning the preced- ing two. The first score was 4 to 0 and the second, 2 to 1.

As long as the Tigers were destined to lose the championship it is just as well they lost it to a teain piloted by one of the ganicst fellows Lincoln High School has ever had. 'Member when Jack Cavin won the 440 after injuring him- self on the hurdles, when Stewart Yingling played a half in intermediate football with his arm hanging limp at his sideg when Morley Brotman played a full game with the midget gridders with boilsg when Norman Klug finished a football game with a broken noseg when Ruffo, Kovack, Higashi and Van Arsdale wrestled with cauliflower ears, or when the crowd stayed through the cold miserable games of the varsity football clashes and yelled themselves hoarse for the team? Who asked where our school spirit was? When Howie Shelon was sent into the varsity football game to stop Lincoln's aerial attack and intercepted the first pass, Lincoln promptly stopped that method of play. Twin Dayton and Twin Yingling have been almost in- separable in athletics. In foot- ball particularly, passes always went from one to the other. Chief Carr said that a cap- tain of a football team must be level-headed and able to think fast in an emergency. Therefore-Sam Hansen, cap- tain of the varsity grid team. Speaking of captains reminds me that after the first team westling meet Frank Jurich, 140-pound prep champion, was elected captain of the '25 squad. He defeated Edwards and Mc- Lemore, both winners in their divisions. And while on wrestling-it has been a long time since we have won the 125- or 135-pound weights or since we dropped the 145. However we have al- most always won the heavy- weight title. Vernon Votaw stood out above all the rest on the foot- ball field this season. His triple abilities made him very, very dangerous. Punting seemed to have been his main forte and he surely kicked us out of a lot of trouble. The painting of the Sta- dium sign that the Big S Club and the Students' Council are now considering should be done. It would be a shame for the school to let such an advertise- ment become dilapidated or destroyed by the elements. THE TAHOMA 109 Girls? Athletics By MARY GLENN Long-remembered friendships have been made, hard lessons have been learned, many have become both good losers and good winners, many girls have learned of the athletic world of Stadium, and better healths, wiser brains and cooler minds have been gained after school on the gym floor this year. The seniors have spent four years at Stadium learning clean sportsmanship and fair play. They schooled themselves to fight and not get mad and to iight when beaten. They have tried to bring honor upon Stadium by this spirit, and as they are leav- ing the four-year girls bid the remaining classes to uphold and keep unstained the name by clean, fair play. Captain ball teams were the most evenly matched of the year. After playing two series of games, in neither of which were the champions determined, the scores were counted. The seniors' only championship was in this sport. On account of their teamwork the juniors won the basket ball series. Because of the spirit, pep, skill and rivalry impelled by this game, it was the favorite sport of the year . There was a great deal of new material as well as the old, experienced players to choose from, and the teams were well matched. Volley ball, though not so popular in the past, had a big turnout. The sophomores came out first in this, yet all of the teams played well and many fans got a thrill out of some of the games. Baseball, the beloved game of all Americans, was almost a walk-away by the sophs. The teams worked together well, having a number of fast, experienced players who made the defeats of the other teams possible. The losers were good but not good enough. Hiking this year began with a bang but as the days on which the hikes were scheduled became colder and rainier and snowier the number of hikers decreased. Only the most hardened girls could stand some of the weather that the Stadiumite hiked in. The 1925 swimming meet was decided as this went to press. We sophs won over the seniors by one point. The event drew a big crowd. Tennis is also undecided. Some good players are signed up. no THE TAHoMA Stadliiainas The Stadianas is a newly organized club this year. It was formed to 'tuphold and further the ideals of womanliness, good sportsmanship and clean play in the school and in the after- school sports. This club is under the athletic department of the Girls' Club. The first officers were Katharine Bernard, presidentg Madge Shera, vice president, and Elizabeth Keener, secretary-treasurer. At the second election held this semester the officers were re- elected and Iris Bryan was selected as sergeant at arms, a new office. To be an officer a girl must have earned two or more letters. The club gave a banquet to all its members and to the basket ball teams in honor of the junior champions. The girls suggested a new interclass basket ball banner. As an emblem the members have chosen a novel ring upon which is a basket ball, the letter HS and the club name Stadianas. j The charter members of the club are: 'One Letter: Violet Dow, Vivian Edwards, Kathryn Glenn, Ernestine Goff, Lorna Lee Goff, Margaret Hill, Esther Keener, Ellis Ayr Smith, Mary Westcott, Martha Hawksworth, Irene More, Winifred Warren, Louise Wilson, Leonora Bloomquist, Grace Link, Lucile Philips, Ruth Stwalley and Dorothy Swift. Two Letters: Theone Berge, Katharine Bernard, Evelyn Bjork- man, Eva Davis, Isabelle Moore, Katharine Reese, Madge Shera, Margaret Church, Susan Fitch, Elizabeth Keener, Theresa Maruca and Martha Ann Wilson. Three Letters: Iris Bryan and Marjorie Martin. , THE TAHOMA 111 Gym Gossip For the best all-round sport, look at Monie Church. The girl who turns out in her senior year for the first time and earns a letter must be a mighty good player--and she is. She's Anna Leland. Stadium will be proud of Kahkie Bernard if she keeps at her present pace. Inga Sandal, a freshie, made the all-star baseball team. She must be a wonder. In a few more years the small baseball fans may be keeping Kassie Glenn Souvenir Balls . She may be queen of the diamond before long. A real student and a real athlete is Sue Fitch. That is surely an enviable combination. ' Pep and punch are the words for Mar Hill. She's surely got 'em. The- spontaneous mover-that's Eva Davis. It's all spon- taneous movement with her. Oh, thou with hair like the sunset gold. Doesn't that just fit some of those bright-topped juniors? She's little but she covers a lot of space. Just ask anybody who chases around after Vera Wright. , The human fish-Ethlynn Smith. Tall Keener is always up in the air and her head is always in the clouds. What would we have done without Leo Bloomquist? She's the beauty of the bunch. The babes were Well trained this year. Although it took some stiff fighting to show them, perhaps it was because they were the youngest. From the present viewpoint it .looks 'as if the world will be stirred somewhat by Little Cleo Manousos. Virginia Cornell has the fighting spirit. 112 THE TAHOMA Senior Qajpmtaiiin Baiiii Qhamps Y Captain ball was a popular sport this year, if one judges from the turnout, for more girls have taken part in it this season than at any time since its introduction to Stadium. The unexpected three weeks' vacation cut short the captain ball practise. But it made little difference, as the coaches knew that the girls understood the game well since it had been played by most of them last year. As there were no entering freshmen, the teams were soon picked and ready for the tournament. There was enough material for second teams, but no time or coaches were available for them. This year there were more seniors than juniors, an unusual thing, for the previous fall the turnout for seniors was sometimes so small that not even one team could be formed. Two rounds had to be played in captain ball as the seniors, juniors and sophomores were tied for first place. The freshmen were eliminated in the first round. In both series the results were the same. With the three upper classes tied after the last game of the second round, the championship was awarded to the seniors on points fthe sum of their scoresl. Pep, speed and enthusiasm were factors in all the games played in the girls' gym this year. It is difficult to say which team loomed out as the strongest, for the seniors defeated the sophomores, who defeated the juniors. Then the junior team beat the seniors. The seniors showed some fast passes and all-round good THE TAHOMA 113 playing although they could not down the juniors. Lucile Philips as captain guard deserved a great deal of credit for keeping the scores down, while Grace Link played some fine games as cap- tain baseman. . Probably the most exciting game of the series was the one in which the seniors defeated the sophomores by a score of 18 to 15. During that game Winnie Warren and Emily Tarr, back guards, did fast playing. The basemen exhibited fine teamwork during the series. Margaret Church and Mary Glenn played especially well to- gether on one side, while Norma Judd and Elizabeth Keener did good work on the other. The senior team consisted of: Guards-Elva Belfoy, Leonora Bloomquist, Lucile Philips, Emily Tarr, Winifred Warren, Susan Fitch Csubj and Dorothy Mitchell Csubj. Basemen-Ruth Stwalley fCaptainJ, Margaret Church, Mary Glenn, Elizabeth Keener, Grace Link and Norma Judd Csubj. On the junior squad Isabelle Moore was the shortest girl turning out for captain baseman, but for all her shortness she got the ball. Eva Davis and Theone Berge starred many times for their team, and Alys Ericson played a good game. Evelyn Bjorkman and Gertrude Burnard, basemen, also fought valiantly for the third-year class while every one felt sorry for the oppon- ents of Martha Hawksworth and Virginia Cornell. - In the game between the juniors and the sophomores the points were made by free throws only. Kathryn Glenn, the peppy little sophomore captain, was always everywhere at once. Vio- let Dow, Ellis Ayr Smith, Margaret Hill and Mary Westcott dis- played skill and teamwork. The freshmen were the smallest fin statureh and the young- est but were snappy players and put up a good fight. Marion Billings, Ethlynn Smith, Alice Flothe, Vera Wright and Cleo Manousos played well. 114 Tut TAHOMA Qllruunnioir' Baslket Ball Qjlhairnps By defeating the senior, sophomore and freshman teams, the juniors won the girls' basket ball championship and the right to be the honored guests at the banquet given by the Stadianas. Their victory was brought about by the perfect teamwork they dis- played through the entire tournament. The junior and sophomore contest was the closest of the series. The '26 girls finally forged ahead in the last few minutes of play and ended the game with a score of 17-15. The only change that has occurred in the Class of '26's basket ball team is in the guard positions. Kahkie Bernard and Ginnie Cornell have been forwards for three years because of their team work and accuracy at locating the hoop. Both are reliable, steady, hard workers and clean players. Eva Davis and Theone Berge have been the centers for two years. Theone was without doubt the best jumping center of the series, and Eva, her co-worker, was the star side center of the series. Fighting Kappy Reese has always played guard. Dorothy Cooper was her partner in 1923, Iris Bryan in 1924 and Alys Ericson this year. The three subs, Isabelle Moore, Louise Wilson and Evelyn Bjorkman, faced their opponents like regular players. The champs got their numerals on the new basket ball ban- ner. The question of a new interclass basket ball banner was brought up at a Stadiana meeting and also at the Student Coun- cil. The record had been kept from 1910 to 1918 and as the banner was full it was decided that a new one be bought. It was THE TAHOMA 115 made up-to-date and the last dates on it are those of the '26 class. Although a second tournament was not played in basket ball as there was in captain ball, the seniors, juniors and sopho- mores were very evenly matched. The freshmen did not win the title but they had a stronger basket ball team than they had in captain ball. Margaret Church, mainstay of the senior team, was one of the best guards in the tournament, in fact she was picked by The World as one of the two best guards. She was a heady player and full of fighting spirit but played a clean game. Leo Bloomquist, captain, was one of the liveliest players on the senior team. She was the star forward for the seniors. Elizabeth Keener always got the ball and was a good player, also a good team mate. Grace Link, the tall guard, was always in the place where she was needed most. Lucile Philips, jumping center, was fast and quick to pass the ball. She had avgood eye for holes. Mary Glenn was her little partner as side center. The two played well together and very few balls got past them. Elva Belfoy, Emily Tarr and Winifred Warren were subs, but showed up well when needed. Kathryn Glenn was the high point hoopster of the series, as best forward. She was fast on her feet, and used good form in her shooting and good headwork. In one game she scored 44 points, shooting baskets from all parts of her territory. Alice Griggs with her team work foretells a bright future for the present sophomore team. Margaret Hill was the other of the two best guards as picked by The World. She was chosen for her consistent playing and her most sportsmanlike conduct on the gym floor. Esther Keener, the captain, fought to the last whistle, al- though she was a sub. She was the tallest girl on the team and her long reach was one of the team's big assets. Ellis Ayr Smith could play almost any guarding or jumping position on the floor, but she starred as a side center. Lorna Lee Goff was a player who could work with anyone, which made her an essential part of the team. Alice Berry and Vivian Edwards played their positions well. Both had that long-fast hold that could not be broken. Marian Matthews played one game and scored 15 points. Mary Westcott was always a worker when on the gym floor. 116 THE TAHOMA S0piil10lUIl10lI fI-3 Xffflililifliy Qii'H6Lll'lIlllpJS The volley ball championship this year was Won by the sophomores. This squad showed its supremacy by team Work and eyes for holes. They played hard and defeated all the other teams by a large margin, in most cases. The closest and snappiest of the games was the one with the juniors. The cham- pionship was at stake and both teams played hard. The first game was Won by the sophomores, but the juniors got the second. Then rallying in the third and last game, the sophs won the title. Esther Keener was the star of the tournament. No Diana could play the net as she did. Margaret Hill, Ellis Ayr Smith and Kathryn Glenn supported her Well with their returning. Many brilliant recoveries were made throughout the tournament. In the sophomore-senior game the ball was in the air most of the time and some swift returning took place so that when a point was made it was really earned. When the frosh met the champs they put up a good fight, and although they came out without a game they saw to it that there was no love game against them. The champs played with fine head work. Many times the game seemed almost cinched for their opponents, but a little use of the sophomores' brains and the games were theirs. Esther Keener, Kathryn Glenn, Margaret Hill, Hazel Torgesen and Ellis Ayr Smith played well for the champs. The entire team used fast and snappy methods of serving THE TAHOMA 117 and returning. Ellis Ayr captained the winners who were Irene Annabel, Alice Berry, Vivian Edwards, Kathryn Glenn, Lorna Lee Goff, Alice Griggs, Margaret Hill, Esther Keener, Marian Matthews, Dorothy Raleigh and Hazel Torgesen. The freshmen came through the season without a love game. They were little and less experienced but they surely did play. This was so especially of Marien Williams, Bernice Watson, Mar- ion Billings, Inga Sandal and Ethlynn Smith. The team was: Marien Williams, captain, Mary Bacalich, Marion Billings, Cleo Manousos, Doris Robison, Dorothy Robison, Inga Sandal, Ethlynn Smith, Katherine Stewart, Loula Tribble, Bernice Watson and Vera Wright. The juniors stood next to the champs, having won two sets of games and lost one. They played well and overcame every obstacle except the sophs. Eva Davis and Katharine Bernard played the stellar roles of the tournament. The '26 girls have always been noted for their teamwork and the volley ball team was no exception. The team was: Martha Hawksworth, cap- tain, Katharine Bernard, Evelyn Bjorkman, Gertrude Burnard, Alys Ericson, Eva Davis, Isabelle Moore, Irene More, Lois Penney, Louise Wilson and Ruth Long. The seniors tried to stop the sophs with their strategy and long experience but to no avail. That may happen to the sophs in a couple of years, though. Margaret Church starred for the seniors, also Iris Bryan and Anna Leland. The senior team was: Iris Bryan, captain, Elva Belfoy, Leonora Bloomquist, Margaret Church, Mary Glenn, Elizabeth Keener, Anna Leland, Grace Link, Marjorie Martin, Lucile Philips, Ruth Stwalley and Emily Tarr. VlFKBlU1ll'llllS Tennis this year was looked forward to by a great many girls. They signed up after the spring vacation and drew so that the schedule of the matches was soon made up. Neither Frances Black, last year's racket champ, nor Dorothy Wilson, her closest rival for that title, is here so that there is a clear field for all. Bessie Lou Day, Virginia Cornell and Monie Church were out practising as soon as the weather permitted and look like good material for the title. ns THE TAHOMA Sophomore Baseball Qjlhainnps The baseball championship of 1925 was Won by the sopho- mores. This team, by its heady plays and good teamwork, was able to win all three games played. The other teams put up a good fight but could not surpass the sophs in skill and speed. Due to the absence of many of the best players of all the teams, the tournament was not what it might have been, although it would not have been possible to defeat the '27 girls. They were handicapped in one game by the loss of a player, but they made 44 runs. The closest game was the last, played by the sophomores and the juniors. The sophs, still handicapped, held the upperclassmen down to 14 runs and they themselves made 19. The seniors stand second, the juniors next and the frosh next. The games, although there was not much feeling as in the boys' contests, were thrilling. Some double plays, fast throws and pretty catches would be hard to duplicate, even by boys. A great many fans turned out to see the tournament and found the games exciting and Well Worth their time. The coaches were well pleased with the tournament, as good sportsmanship and fair play as well as skill were shown. THE TAHOMA 1l9 The seniors had experienced players, holding all teams at bay except the sophomores. There was good field work and especially strong batting. Some of the hardest batters were on the '25 team. They tried hard for the championship but came out with only second place. Iris Bryan was the best all-round player of the tournament, showing exceptionally Well in any position on the field. This was Anna Leland's first year at playing but her fielding stopped many a home run. The team was: Leonora Bloomquist, Iris Bryan, Margaret Church, Mary Glenn, Elizabeth Keener Ccaptainl, Anna Leland, Grace Link, Dorothy Mitchell, Ruth Stwalley, Emily Tarr. Subs: Elva Belfoy, Lucile Philips and Winifred Warren. Although not on top, the juniors were not on the bottom. They were hard hitters and good batters. Martha Hawksworth was considered the best pitcher of the Dianas. Those on the junior team: Katherine Bernard, Evelyn Bjorkman Ccaptainl, Gertrude Burnard, Eva Davis, Martha Hawksworth, Ruth Long, Isabelle Moore, Lois Penney, Louise Wilson and Theo Bar- wick. Subs: Virginia Cornell, Irene More and Bessie Lou Day. The champs, though only second-year girls, showed up like veterans. They Won three games and made 82 runs, including five homers. Kathryn Glenn made four of those home runs and Esther Keener the other one. Kathryn was fast at getting around the diamond, after hitting the ball so that every one missed it. She played catcher and shortstop, filling both places well. Esther Keener was the pitcher and a good one, too. She didn't walk many. The team was full of good players. Four Were on the all-star team picked by The World. The team: Alice Berry, Marjorie Groves, Kathryn Glenn, Lorna Lee Goff, Alice Griggs, Margaret Hill, Esther Keener, Marian Matthews fcaptainj, Ellis Ayr Smith and Mary Westcott. Subs: Irene Annabel, Irma Bloomquist and Hazel Torgeson. The freshmen won-not one game. If the other team had not had as much experience, they might have had a chance. There were some fine players on the team. One made the all-star team. She is Inga Sandal. She caught some fancy balls and hit some, too. The frosh have improved and will improve as they age. They are: Mary Bacalich Ccaptainb, Cleo Manousos, Dorothy Robison, Doris Robison, Inga Sandal, Ethlynn Smith, Marien Williams and Vera Wright. Subs: Marion Billings, Alice Flothe and Helen Munz. 120 THE, TAHOMA Sxwiiinnnnniiinig JUNIOR LIFE-SAVING CORPS Although swimming practise is not far under way yet, there is a showing of fine material in the classes. The girls represent- ing the Class of '27 won the match last year and now that they are sophomores and more experienced there is a chance for them to carry away honors again this year. The sophs have lost Isabel Kane but through the year they have gained more and better girls to take her place. Also, Irene Annabel, Ellis Ayr Smith, Margaret Hill, Mary Westcott and Betty Lyons are numbered with the second-year girls. Ethlyn Smith entered school just in time for swimming last SENIOR LIFE-SAVING CORPS ,, THE TAHOMA 121 year and as she has been turning out with the freshmen this year she will probably make the frosh swimming team. There are a lot of good fish in the Freshman Class. Neither the juniors nor the seniors have lost many girls from last year's team. Although they did not win the title, they had some fine swimmers and there is a dandy chance to bring home the match. For the juniors, Katharine Bernard, Virginia Cornell, Lois Penney and, for the seniors, Dorothy Flaskett and Dorothy Mitchell were good last year and with a little practise ought to be among the best again this season. Thanks to the training and the patience of Mrs. Ida Memmer and Miss Laura McCulloch, there are only a few of the girls in the swimming classes who cannot swim at least one stroke. lliiliilkiiinig The glamor has begun to wear off hiking. Only 13 girls took five hikes this year while last year 25 succeeded in filling the requirement. Rain, wind and thrills accompanied nearly all the hikes. Al- though there was a small attendance on these trips, they were full of exciting and unexpected events. Eighty girls took at least one hike, the smallest number being eight. The first was led by Virginia Cornell, who with the girls covered five miles and nearly all the paths in Point Defiance Park. The second group of girls, led by Katharine Bernard, hiked to American Lake. Eva Davis lc-gl a bunch of Dianas to Spanaway from South Tacoma on the third jaunt, and Martha Hawksworth and her group went to Chambers Creek from Man- itou for the fourth. Susan Fitch led the fifth walk, taking the girls around Milton. Margaret Church led the sixth, going to Manitou from Tacoma. Elizabeth Keener led the seventh,and Lucile Philips the last. The thirteen girls who took five or more hikes are: Mary Bacalich, Alice Berry, Katharine Bernard, Mildred Faler, Alice Flothe, Grace Link, Marian Matthews, Irene More, Dorothy Raleigh, Ruth Stwalley, Katherine Stewart, Louise Wilson and Winifred Warren. THE TAHOMA THE TAHOMA 123 Sfelfllllflbli' lIDll4fl1lfllil1S Elva Belfoy and her grin were always welcome in the gym. Besides her laugh, she had a good eye and a head full of brains that she used. Elva won two letters. Leonora Bloomquist also won two letters, but if she had turned out sooner she would have been a shield winner. Leo surely is a Ngo-getter, a good forward and a fine basket ball captain. Iris Bryan and her mighty arm saved the day many a time for the seniors, especially in volley ball. She was the mainstay of the baseball team for she can fan 'em out quicker than they come. Irie was captain of the volley ball team. Margaret Church is a three-letter girl and has played on every team. She starred as a guard in basket ball and as a base- man in captain ball. Susan Fitch made the captain ball team and would have made more but her last year seemed to have been so full of other activities that she could not turn out for the other teams. Sue has won two letters. Norma Judd was a jolly good player, and though she played only captain ball the team owes a great deal to her disposition. Elizabeth Keener is a lively girl. She was a good baseman in captain ball but a better forward in basket ball. Anna Leland made the volley ball and baseball teams and was an invaluable player. Grace Link is an excellent participant in every sport and can play in any position. Marjorie Martin made the volley ball team and also the base- ball ten. She is a good player but because of a busy year was un- able to make four teams in order to win her shield. Dorothy Mitchell was always at home in either the pitcher's box or the swimming tank. Dot has not won a letter but she was always on the teams of her favorite sport. Lucile Philips and her reach were always needed among the seniors. Goose would try anything once, and some of her plays were certainly surprising to her opponents. Ruth Stwalley once was one of the littlest girls on the gym floor, but she began to grow up and won two letters mostly be- cause of her Hstick-to-it-ivenessf' She was captain of the Win- ning captain ball team. This was Emily Tarr's first year of success. She is fast and another persevering girl. Em made four teams this year and so won her first letter. Winifred Warren is a good sport in the games and after. She is a friend to all and the lower classmen as well her class- mates Will miss her. Winnie has won two letters. 124 THE TAHOMA is m Vlilvlffllllllilblllfllii lRCElIlI'lllllIl1llSfCK8lIlliCCBS By Janet Stwalley Another year gone by, the finishing of high school life for some who have passed through my doors for the last time as Sta- dium students, and another step in the ladder for others. What a grand year it has been I Takoma Great Spirit settles himself comfortably and prepares to give an account of events of the closing year. Away back in September when each boy and girl was bid- ding farewell to gay summer with her many enjoyable days, my doors were swung wide once more and in poured a troupe ofVSta- diumites. But, alas and alack, it was not long ere again I was shut up and discarded for nearly three weeks while the students were enjoying an enforced vacation. 'tNot until October had rolled around, ushering in the fall, did they come back ready for work once more. I rather missed the freshmen from mylhalls those days. But it surely seemed good to have enough room in which to breathe. Right away the juniors began to organize. I allowed them to use the voting ma- chines placed in my front hall with which to elect their officers. It appeared that Joe Griggs' 'stump speeches' were a little super- ior to those of anyone else as he was finally elected president. And then the sophomores seemed so lonesome that it was not long until they were allowed to band together and have class offi- cers. Willard Aldrich came to the fore as their president. Soon the girls got together and decided that they would have to have their mixer, which had been postponed so long. I let them have their way and gave them the auditorium for the program and the gym in which to frolic about to their hearts' content. The thirtieth brought with it the Night Shirt Parade. And what a gay time we all had. We marched downtown yelling and raising a big racketg then I brought them all up to the auditorium and they picked the winners of the prizes for the most comical cos- tumes and after a number of mirth-provoking acts the evening's jollity wound up with The Flitter Mouse, a one-act play presented by Miss Black's pupils, and to cap the climax dancing in the gym. In all, the annual event was a splendid success and one I was glad to attend. if November 1 stepped forth with banners of Blue and Gold waving from the bleachers, and our first-team football men down THE TAHOMA 125 on the muddy field at Lincoln fighting for Stadium. Believe me, I backed those players with all that was in me! Both the Rail- splitters and the Tigers put up a fine fight, but it ended a no- score game. In the next game at Stadium the teams met the same result after battling through snow, mud and slush that froze fingers and deadened spirits. It was on that same day that I gave over the auditorium for the Armistice Day assembly. Dr. L. L. Wirt was the speaker and he instilled in the minds of all the value of peace and the detriment of war. One day Le Tricolor woke up, dusted himself and demanded the attention of all French students, who at once planned organization. For this purpose I gave them 215 in which to hold their meeting. As a result it was Gerald Layton whom they chose to guide the club through another year of activities. Then on cold, bleak Thanksgiving Day, Tigers and Railsplitters again met, this time for the finale. Exciting from the start it was. After a hard contest we were forced to yield the trophy to the South Enders by a 3-0 score. In came December with the reorganization of the Radio Club, which had not been in existence for several years. At the first meeting in 315 the enthusiasts elected Albert King as their president. Next I gave over the girls' gym for the first matinee dance. Both teachers and students enjoyed themselves immense- ly that afternoon. The Junior Prom appeared on the twelfth. First, a dandy program in the auditorium with the one-act play, A Proposal Under Difficulties, as the leading feature, then down in the girls' gym, which was decorated with streamers in the Jun- ior Class colors, the two upper classes held their annual Prom. It was about that time that I took pity on our first-team football men, who so nobly fought for Stadium on that cold Thanksgiving Day, and I saw to it that they had a turkey dinner. The seven- teenth witnessed them all repaid, in a small part, for their fine spirit on the field when they assembled for the banquet in St. John's English Lutheran church. Christmas Spirit talked mat- ters over with me around that time and finally, in accord with the wish of the school board, we compromised on a short vaca- tion for the holidays. On the twenty-third the Stadiumites left me until a few days before the new year. But, with a two-day vacation, they all had a chance to ring in 1925. Back they came on the fifth and things began to hum once more within my walls. The seniors held their banquet that Friday and showed me a fine time. Nathan Lynn's Troubadours played for dancing in the girls' gym afterward. Then on the sixteenth 126 THE TAHOMA the boys' mixer came off. I gave them the auditorium for their peppy program and after that the gym and tank for their stunts, in which both teachers and students took part. The finishing touch to the old semester marked the beginning of the interschol- astic series of basket ball games. At Lincoln on the twenty- fourth the experienced South End hoopsters proved their super- iority with difficulty. The splendid teamwork of the Railsplitters, however, netted them the advantage in the 16-6 score. The peppy Dianas planned a banquet for the winning junior girls' basket ball team on the twenty-seventh. It was a splendid success. But the twenty-eighth brought January to a close with a great victory in oratory. Three of our Stadium orators-Elver- ton Stark, John Miller and Clifford Bloom-won from the fresh- man Badger Debate Club of the University of Washington on the famed Philippine Islands question, by a 3-0 decision. With the hoopsters of both rival schools once more lined up to fight with all their might for 'the second game of the series, the eighth of February passed. The experts on the Railsplitter squad outplayed the Tigers and walked away with a 37-7 score. The Washington State College Girls' Glee Club made its appear- ance on the eighteenth. .A lively group they were and I was in- deed more than glad to give over the auditorium for the enter- tainment. The basket ball season certainly appeared to be an unlucky one for the Stadiumites. Each time the South Enders pranced away with the prize, and sadly it was that we were forced to close the season with the Lincolnites as champions. The last game on the twenty-first ended with a 27-7 score, again in favor of the Railsplitters. We duly observed the birthdays of our two outstanding presidents-Washington and Lincoln-with appropriate assemblies on the twelfth and twenty-third. Miss Black's pupils, as usual, helped on both occasions, and Mr. As- bury's interesting talk on Lincoln the Man gave the students a better insight into the real character of that beloved President. Then March came blustering in, not only heralding spring but our annual opera as well. Greatly pleased with the new cur- tain recently purchased, I felt glad indeed to give the cast the auditorium once more for the performance. Mam'zelle Taps it was this year, well coached by Mr. Clayton Johnson. It came up to the best of them, starring Frances Allen as the heroine and Arthur Davison as the hero. An interesting feature of the even- ing was the Tommywaac dance directed by Mrs. Ida. L. Memmer. With the eleventh, soccer commenced. The first skirmish at THE TAHOMA 127 Stadium showed the equality of the two teams in the scoreless outcome. Lincoln men must have practised a bit more than our gritty Tigers, for the next of the series, held at Lincoln on the twentieth, brought the game to a finish 1-0 in favor of the South Enders. Perhaps it was because I was divided between two places, the Lincoln field and the Stadium gym Where the 'Erin Ball' was in full swing. The auditorium fairly rocked with the laughter of the students when Harry A. James, representing the Brunswick Phonograph Company, addressed us in an assembly that morning. He surely convinced us that the Englishman has a sense of humor. As well as entertaining, his talk was also instructive. His detailed description of the making of a record was enjoyed by all. 'iClubs has Stadium, but never before has it had an art club, which came into existence on the sixteenth. Ve'lda Dan- forth was elected president. Much success to you. But, oh, what a rollicking time I had on the twenty-third. Back-to- School Night was on the calendar that Monday. I was nearly swamped with parents, who marched into the auditorium 1,000 strong and then went through the classes of their Stadium children. We had a hard time crowding them all into the gym afterward, but fortunately there were no casualties and they all went home with smiles on their faces. The twenty-fifth brought along another assembly at which Col. Fred Lindsay talked on his experiences in Africa. We all enjoyed it immensely, yet I feared slightly for our new curtain when he gave a display of his skill with the whip. The determining soccer game on Saturday, the thirtieth, wound up with a 1-0 score in favor of the Tigers, which tied the series with our South End rivals. That evening the Rail- splitter wrestling team won from the Stadium men, however. Another defeat was in store for us on Monday evening, a bad way for March to leave us. Lincoln took from us the second trophy of the year, the debate trophy, but only by a 2-1 decision. Fred Freeman, John Miller and Edmond Savage, who did their best to win for our school, displayed a splendid losing spirit of which I am very proud.

THE TAHOMA 130 THE TAHOMA Urganizations By Marion Rowlson Can you feature the school life at Stadium as being all work without an hour's recreation? Can you realize the tediousness and dullness of a life of pure labor? In the past, schools did not have the opportunities and pleasures that have been provided for the student of today. No clubs, very few entertainments and plenty of hard work was the routine of the term. In order that the daily task may not become monotonous, schools all over the world ar-e establishing a form of recreation such as is provided by a club that is formed in the school by the students. To be sure, this recreative influence has taken years to accomp- lish but the proof of its success lies before the eyes of all to see and maybe not a few of us wonder at the numerous phases of study that are introduced herein. Stadium has her big Club Family and this family is rapidly growing and expanding. But do not think that entertainment is the only feature introduced, for behind every organization there is an educational influence that has been the reason for the develop- ment of the organization. We might name any club here at Stadium and find that back of it all there is a special line of work studied and talked about. For instance there is the Science Club-devoted to the subject of scienceg the Literary Club-devoted to the bettering of literary efforts of its membersg the French and Spanish Clubs-whose meetings are usually carried on in those languagesg the Dramatic, Art and Radio Clubs whose subjects are explained by their name. The students are realizing the value of these methods of recreation and are taking advantage of them. It is the breaking away from the idea that school is a work mill, a drudge. School is a pleasure now in spite of the little discouragements that may arise during the day. Club meetings make us forget our blues and make life brighter by their restfulness! THE TAHOMA 131 Dramatic f One of the oldest Stadium organizations is the Dramatic Club. It was formed away back about the time that Stadium High School was brought into existence and not only has been successful in maintaining a high standard but has built up that reputation until today the school would be lost Without the pres- ence of this club. Chief among the purposes of the organization is to further interest in dramatics and to furnish entertainment for assemblies. And, too, all members at some time participate in the entertain- ment for the club meetings, thereby deriving experience as well as fun from plays given. At the beginning of the year Arthur Davison was elected president, succeeding Willard Spence, and has carried on the good Work started and built up by the former presidents. During the course of the year many amusing and brilliant plays, pantomimes and programs have been put on. Among these were: A Proposal Under Difficulties, put on by the male mem- bers of the club only, in which boys took the part of girls with the greatest ease conceivableg The Mouse Trap, The Country School House, Evening Dress Indispensable and Our Aunt From California. Who can ever forget the program given by the club at the Junior Prom! Perhaps one might imagine it to be through the ability of the members to act that this club has been such a success. Then one's imagination plays him false for it is through the untiring efforts of Miss Alberta F. Black to bring out the ability of the members that has made its reputation so great. 132 THE TAHOMA Spainnislhi Unlike its sister members of the family, the Vamonos Club has not resorted to the common name of Spanish Club. At its head is Grant Williams, who succeeded Ruth Ades in this important position. In November the Vamonos Club sponsored what was known as a Realia. This was an exhibit of Spanish curios and ar- ticles. It was a queer as well as a beautiful sight to see the contributions the members managed to dig up from old cedar chests-everything from a man's mummified head to gorgeous Spanish shawls. The programs given by the club have gradually grown to be objects of envy by those students who have not taken Spanish and therefore do not belong. Speakers who had traveled in South America and Spain were invited to tell their adventures and experiences. Plays in Spanish were given-and the refresh- ments! Oh, my! Among the entertainments given was a debate by two teams picked from the members. Very classical names were given to the worthy opponents, with much amusement as the outcome. When one really comes down to bedrock, there is always an aid behind the club that inspires every member to do better and push the organization to the topmost heights. This club has had the able assistance of Miss Ruth Oxley, and anyone who knows her cannot help being inspired. If this is the effect on an in- dividual, imagine what pep the Vamonos Club contains! .1 n ,.. .A THE TAHOMA 133 lE?lI CBlllliClll1 This year Le Tricolor was not organized until November, because of the enforced vacation. But in spite of the setback the French club has forged right ahead with those that were organ- ized earlier. At the first meeting, Gerald Layton, junior, was elected to lead the club on its yearly journey, and a more able president could not have been found. It was the first time the important office was entrusted to a junior. In keeping with the reputation built up by other Stadium clubs, Le Tricolor put on some clever programs. At the meeting before Christmas the play Cosette was given. This playlet, taken from a section of Victor Hugo's Les Misemblesg was arranged with great skill by Prudence Billings. The Language of the Umbrellas, directed by Betty Totten, was the playlet given during the year that provided the most fun and entertainment. Miss Kathleen McMahon, whose untiring efforts have helped the club along the high road of success, is not only a French teacher of great renown but has traveled all over France and has related many of her interesting experiences. Gradually the enrolment is being increased as the fame of the programs, as Well as the Wonderful feeds put on by the re- freshment committee, is broadcasted. Le Tricolor is popular! 134 THE TAHoMA Literary As one of the younger members of the club family, the Literary Club stands a great chance of forging ahead in popu- larity with those that have been organized longer. A little over a year ago this enterprising youngster picked for its leader the capable Francis Manning, first president. Ruth McDowell was picked as the chairman of the manuscript committee, a position of high standing. Elverton Stark then succeeded Francis and Marion Rowlson took over the position held by Ruth. But during the course of the term, Marion gave up the position to Betty Totten because of inability to attend the meetings and keep up her outside Work. Perhaps you have noted that each chairman of the manuscript committee has been a feature editor of The Stadium World. It seems to be an es- tablished form that this should now be so. Why not? From the start, all the programs that have been given have been only of the best. Prominent Tacoma Writers and newspaper men were invited to attend the meetings to tell of their exper- iences in the literary World. Steadily the membership increased until to date a large attendance is met with at every meeting. Perhaps We should hold Irene Nicholson, chairman of the re- freshments committee, responsible for the crowded condition of the club. Anyhow, every member hurries to the lunchroom as soon as the club adjourns. Judging from the numerous stories that have been published in The World, the Literary Club is aiding not only those who at- tend but the Whole school in general. THE TAHOMA 135 SIIDCEIHSBTS9 lBlL1llI fEdLllIl Without two mediums of information-namely, The Stadium World and the Speakers' Bureau-Stadium students would be ignorant of many events that occur Within the life of the institu- tion. The aid which the bureau issues has become famed until now there are more pupils who have signed up than can be accommo- dated. During the roll periods on Monday announcements are made by the members of the bureau. These announcements keep the students in touch with the immediate happenings around school. Joe Griggs, president for the fall semester, has since been succeeded by Willard Aldrich, Who defeated Richard Van Horn and Irene Nicholson in a close race for the position. The bureau is divided into teams, each team having a cap- tain Who assigns the rooms for announcing each Week. The as- sistant captains are also essential as they get the news to dis- tribute among the speakers. Not only is this bureau aiding Stadium High but also the members who participate, for it gives them the ease and assur- ance necessary to banish the fear of speaking before an audience. The most timid student may gain these qualities by signing up for this activity. At the end of the semester an immense dif- ference cannot help but be noted. Students are realizing this fact, hence the large waiting list. 136 THE TAHOMA Radio Clulb In the latter part of November, this new club was added to the fast developing list and has now an unusually large mem- bership for so young an organization. Albert King was given the honor of being the first presi- dent but this semester was succeeded by John Newbegin. Equipment worth S200 had already been purchased and new material is being added little by 'little to the original. A committee is responsible for the use of all radio equipment, and no member is permitted to experiment without the consent of this committee. Occassionally a speaker has been obtained to tell of his exper- ience with radio and to give advice to the members of the club. But, as a general rule, the time is spent in making experiments with the set. Through the suggestion of several members of the organiza- tion, a radio library is being established. All information in re- gard to radio, magazines and books are being collected as well as being contributed by those able to obtain such material. In this age of progress, Stadium declines to be left behind. Far from it! Radio has taken the world by storm and certainly has become the national sport of all who come in contact with it. Our Radio Club no doubt will have a large membership with- in the next year, and arrangements are being made for many interesting programs. Success to it and its perfection! V THF. TAHOMA 137 Breaux Arts This is the baby of the club family, organization having taken place in March. But great things are promised. The first officers elected were: Velda Danforth, president, Milford Payne, vice presidentg Grayfe Hiberly, secretary, Chris Sternagal, treasurer, and Kenneth Elder, business manager. Students who are studying art and whose grades in that subject are at least 80 are eligible to join. Also, architectural or mechanical drawing students and others particularly interested, by whose services the club may benefit, are admitted. Records Qommittee This committee is a rather new one for Stadium, its pur- pose being to compile all the old records of general activities and athletics in the past history of Stadium. Up to the fall of 1923 these records were in a rather sad state of confusion and it has taken this committee the better part of two years to straighten them out. There are now two books of these records in evidence and when they are all compiled an interesting history of Stadium ac- tivities will be the result. Wilma Leach, chairman of the committee this year, has di- rected the task of clearing up the records and has as her asistants Lucile Philips, senior, and Alice Stryker, junior. Catherine Over- turf, junior, originally aided but has since dropped school. 1 138 THE TAHOMA Sophomore Council Until 1924-1925, the Sophomore Class has had no plan or organization, no method of co-operation to set the pupils apart as being an exclusive group. During the course of the year a legislative body composed of one representative from each soph- omore roll formed what was called the Sophomore Council to discuss and bring about this cohesion of the class. Their idea was to have an organized body not unlike that of the Junior and Senior Classes. The plan of this class has met with great success and there is no real reason Why it should not. ' Perhaps the first great achievement was the sponsoring and planning of the Sophomore Mixer. Tickets with the picture of a broncho on it and the Words let 'er buck were sold at 10 cents each. A program of 20 minutes was given in the audi- torium, followed by dancing in the gymnasium. The council has for its purpose much the same idea as that of the Student Council-to look into the important problems that will be of benefit to the Sophomore Class as Well as to the rest of the school. Willard Aldrich, presidentg Tommy Morrow, vice presidentg Eloise Sanders, secretary-treasurerg Billy Leuenberger, sergeant at arms, and Ed Coy, yell leader, make up the leaders of the class. This organization is one that has been needed for a long time to complete the systems of Stadium's organized student body. Come on, then, sophomoresg Let 'er buck! THE TAHOMA 139 llxallll Semester World Staff September saw the advent of the new tabloid size Stadium World. This reduced the old size page to about half and enlarged the paper to eight pages. According to comments received by the staff, the new paper has met with great favor. In November The World sent Charles F. Mann as a delegate to the Central Interscholastic Press Association conference held at Madison, Wis. At this conference Charles was the delegate who traveled the longest distance to attend. On this account The World was awarded a beautiful silver cup, which will be given a place in the paper's editorial room. Randall Williams was accorded the honor of making a rep- utation for the new Stadium World and he did it-ask the sub- scribers. This could never have been accomplished without the able help of the whole staff, for the larger paper necessitated the filling up of more space and therefore more work was laid upon the shoulders of the managing editor. And for his untiring efforts, Randall was awarded the highest staff honor for the v--Q---Q-----' ' 3 . - , -7 sm nm.-4 '2 K I ,V ' zmurzam.-. v We umm Ya Nagar Len nl 4 L,,.,,,,,,,,,,,, Lx 1 Wm 3 u ... rx Dl'T'N4v x ' - ' . , .

Others who were accorded honors were Janet Stwalley, editorial writer, and Joe Blum, sports editor. There is really so much to The Stadium world that students, other than the members of the staff, do not realize the extent to which the work leads. Just try to picture what the paper would be without the advertising solicitors, the business and circulation staff, the department editors and the two faculty advisers, Mr. Philip S. Giltner, finances, and Mr. U. N. Hoffman, news and advertising. Not only do the Stadium pupils read it, but from 150 to 200 Jason Lee pupils, as a Jason Lee page was included in the paper this year. Spring Staff To the spring semester's staff was given the task of carry- ing on and furthering the work begun by the fall staff-the bet- tering of the new Stadium World. George Kachilein Jr., the spring editor, proved himself able to carry out the task given to him and his staff, as results have told.

This is accomplished only through the co-opera- tion of the whole staff whose aim is to aid their editors and to boost The World upward on the road to success. ' Perhaps the most original and fun-producing page ever put out was page eight of the April Fool number. But this is only one of the many issues that have afforded entertainment to the subscribers. Every week there is something new, something dif- ferent. Even the advertisers are becoming interested. Who can forget Rhodes Brothers' limerick There once was a young col- lege fellow, etc. and their offer of a dollar prize? And the theater passes given for names hidden in the '4ads ? Not only are Stadiumites interested in the improvement of the paper but their parents as well. And again it might be said that Without the co-operation that exists between the school and the staff, and the staff and its advisers, this improvement could not be. SCCllCCll'llCCCB At the first of the year Richard Van Horn, vice president, was promoted to the rank of president of the Science Club to take the position held by Willard Rogers, who died of blood poisoning during the summer vacation. Richard was later elected as head of the organization. Plans were made and carried out to visit a number of in- dustrial plants. Much of interest has been added to the store of knowledge of all members as well as an amusing diversion from the regular routine of school life provided. A few of the plants visited by the Science Club were the power plant at Dieringer, the Fleischmann yeast plant, Henningsen creamery, federal tea inspector's office and the Milwaukee shops. At one of the many interesting meetings, Mr. Lewellyn Evans of the city light and water department explained the Cushman power project. To illustrate his talk he had two ex- cellent sets of slides, one diagraming the project and the other showing a series of colored pictures of various phases of the work. This is just one illustration of the programs put on by the Science Club. Every meeting is just as educative and amusing. 142 THE TAHOMA Triple MSW To promote the spirit of sportsmanship in the school is the motive of this club of girls. The membership is limited and therefore any new members who wish to join must first be voted upon by the club. The grades of the candidates must be above 80 for the term and they must not have received a grade below 70 at any time in their high school course. At the first of the year the girls adopted as their uniform a blue sweater with yellow stripes and yellow ties and sport skirts. To say the least, these make a very effective combination, es- pecially when a group of the girls are together. At Back-to-School Night the club assisted in the ushering and at any of the athletic games this group of girls may be seen urging the team on to victory and inspiring the school with a spirit that is hard to beat. At their head is Lucile Philips, and the adviser is Mrs. M. S. Fowler. The co-operation and unity of the members with their adviser is one of the great reasons for the Triple S Club's success. THE TAHOMA 143 Student Council Without the backing provided by the Student Council, Stadium- ites would not have many of the improvements and advantages that have been obtained through the suggestions and efforts of this necessary organization. The council is made up of members of the student body who are voted upon by the said student body. When matters that concern the school as a whole are brought up, the subject is argued and debated upon and then a vote is taken for submission to Mr. Hunt Whose O. K. is essential to its existence. Their accomplishments throughout the year tell the tale of the success of the Students' Council. Among these many improve- ments has been the forming of the plan for the organization of the Sophomore Class, a body of students Who have heretofore been without a system of coherence. Then there was the large task of planning and handling the annual Night Shirt Parade and this was done by the council, with the aid of the Big S Club. Funds were provided for the matinee dances that have been made a part of the school life as Well as introducing novel Ways to make the students mix. This Was the hardest part of the Whole thing. Other notable improvements have been the repairing of the football benches, the buying of the much needed piano hoist, painting of the lower steps in the basements, starting the fund for the new stage curtain, securing a clock for the girls' basement, fixing the drainage system on the corner of North First and 144 THE TAHOMA Tacoma Avenue and providing money for the painting of the large Stadium board sign on the bluH overlooking the sound. But their latest and perhaps greatest achievement has been the formation of an Honor Society. This question was argued and debated furiously in the regular and special meetings called by President Joe Griggs and was literally picked to pieces in an effort to establish the feasibility of the plan. Wh-en the final vote was taken the afiirmative carried the day. It is now up to the students of Stadium to back the Honor Society to its great success. Annual Qjalbiiinieit This cabinet is essential to the existence of The Tahoma, for it is through these members that capable students are chosen to conduct the successful course of the Stadium yearbook. In the spring semester two representatives, a boy and a girl, are chosen by ballot from each section of junior roll. The repre- sentatives meet to discuss facts pertaining to the selection of suitable and eligible students to make up the annual staff for the next year. A committee of two or three is appointed by the chairman to look into the abilities of each candidate for editor and their report is given the deepest consideration by the cabinet. The one motto that is adhered to is no favoritism in selec- tion of the annual staff. Students of Stadium do not realize the amount of thought and consideration that is devoted to this selection. THE TAHOMA 145 Girls 9 ' Whether she knows it or not, -every girl is a member of the Stadium Girls' Club the moment she enrolls here. Of course, there is an official body that controls the organization, but the delegates to it are chosen by the girls of the school. This club has done much for Stadium. At the beginning of the year, one of the most successful mixers ever given was sponsored by it. Assemblies and entertainments have been put on by interested members, Which have met with great favor among the students. This club is divided into four parts, each girl designating to which department she wishes-sto belong. The four departments are: the vocational department, service department, social depart- ment and athletic department, eachidepartment having an adviser selected from the faculty. These four cover anything that a girl may wish to do. This council decides any matters that may arise in the course of the year that concern the girls in general. They have as their creed an article entitled If that is considered very appropriate and carries the ideals of the girl of today. The creed was Written by Elizabeth L. Otis. . Perhaps We of Stadium do not realize the extent of the work done by the active members outside of school as Well as inside. At Thanksgiving they fed and clothed a number of destitute families of Tacoma as they had in previous years and Will be remembered always for their untiring efforts to see to the com- fort of these unfortunates in their needs. 146 THE TAIIOMA llediillimrary Gommittcc Without our regular Library Night, something would seem queer around Stadium. Without the Library Committee this night would not be held. But that is not the only thing the library committee is for. The school must keep adding new books to its collection now in the library and the committee sees to it that there are always funds provided to buy these books. Then, too, it is necessary that the library be kept in good condition and it is the duty of this group to look after these affairs. It is evident that Miss Mary Kobetich, the librarian, could never, alone, look after the handling of students, the pur- chasing of new books and the procuring of the necessary means to buy these books, without being a nervous wreck at the end of the term. Someone must aid her and that someone is the Library Committee. This year the committee is composed of George Kachlein Jr., Leonora and Brandt Bloomquist, Elizabeth Cheney and Evelyn Goddard. Miss Kobetich is their adviser. As usual, Library Night was a huge success. How could it ever be anything else! Fon HARD WORK APPLY io mums THE TAHOMA 147 FOMTHYCQT Senior llglloinior Roll Thirteen members of the Class of '25, only one of whom is a boy, have an average for the four years at Stadium of 90 per cent or above in their studies.

For Stadium won one of the two big debates of the year and was defeated in the other. A Stadium team met and conquered the team from the Badger Club of the University of Washington by a 3 to 0 decision, and another Stadium team met the debate team of Lincoln High School and, in one of the closest debates of the year, lost the decision 2 to 1. Debate has been especially popular this year, over 100 stu- dents turning out for the class and interclass debates and for contests with outside schools. Every year more and more pupils take an interest in the oratorical sport and this year some promising material has been unearthed among the underclassmen. Although some good de- baters will be lost by graduation, there will be an abundance of prospective Websters and Patrick Henrys back next year to up- hold Stadium's reputation. During the last few years debating has been coming into prominent position at the North End school. Several assemblies are called every year and many contests have been held in sixth study. Should debating continue in its present popularity it may some day be classed as one of the major activities around Stadium THE TAHOMA 149 High. This would be very appropriate for just as much labor is involved in debating as in athletics. Some debates require weeks and even months of tiresome efforts in preparation for the final presentation. e When the official turnout for the class debates was called, the sophomores responded nobly. They were well represented by a turnout of 12 teams. The seniors came next with 8 teams, the juniors had only 4 teams but made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. The elimination debates were bitterly fought and the teams finally chosen to represent their respective classes were firmly convinced that debating is no snap. The Sophomore Class team was composed of Lawrence Lesh, Betty Nash and Joseph Gordon, the Junior Class team of John Miller, Ed Savage and Kaye Ewart, who won the Junior Class championship in a lively debate held in junior roll. The senior champs were Dorothy Steiner, Elverton Stark and Clifford Bloom. The present senior team was class and school champion last year. The success of this team is due chiefly to the splendid coaching of Miss Emilie T. Arntson, who for two years has spent a great deal of her time in developing its members from inexperienced debaters to the pos- ition of school champions. Appreciation is due also to other teachers who have coached debate teams so that the pupils could deliver a higher grade of speech. The juniors met and defeated the sophomores in one of the closest debates of the year. The topic discussed was the city manager form of government for Tacoma. Although the sopho- mores lacked experience, they demonstrated that they had a thorough knowledge of the question. A good showing is ex- pected from them next year. The juniors and seniors met April 8 to decide the debate supremacy of the school. The subject chosen for this debate was immediate independence of the Philippines. As both teams were determined to win school honors, a close, interesting debate was the result. The outcome was in doubt until the chairman an- nounced that the junior team had won by a 2 to 1 decision. This year more debates were held with outside schools than ever before. Buckley, Puyallup, Enumclaw, Fife, Olympia and St. Leo's were some of Stadium's opponents. Even Chehalis sent a team up here to combat the Tigers. Although most of these were no-decision debates, our teams showed up well in all. In the double-header debate with St. Leo's, a different sys- 150 THE TAHOMA SCHOOL CHAMPIONS tem was used, the heckling style of debating. A 4'heckling debate is one in which the speaker may be interrupted by a mem- ber of the opposition. The debates were held in the study halls of the two schools. Our teams broke even, the negative winning and the affirmative losing. Fred Freeman and John Miller showed up Well against St. Leo's. The subject was the Phil- ippine independence question. Arrangements had been made with Olympia to have that school send a negative team to Stadium. Through some misun- derstanding, Olympia sent over an affirmative group. Rather than have the visiting team treturn without presenting their speeches, Coach George Lancaster got together a negative team in five minutes. Elverton Stark, John Miller and Clifford Bloom were the trio. Despite the fact that the boys spoke extemporan- eously, Mr. Lancaster commented favorably on the debate and was pleased with Stadium's showing. This year, as usual, Stadium debated the Badger Club fresh- man team from the University of Washington. The question was' '4Resolved, that the Philippine Islands should be granted im- mediate independencef' The Blue and Gold team was composed of John Miller, Elverton Stark and Clifford Bloom. The original plans were that the speeches should be 10 minutes in length and that Stadium should uphold the negative. Three days before the debate was scheduled to be run off Mr. Lancaster received a letter from the Badger Club informing him that the original con- THE TAHOMA 151 tract called for Stadium to debate the affirmative, and that the speeches should be six minutes in length. Since Mr. Lancaster had boasted that his debaters could defend either side of a ques- tion on short notice, the team set out to make good. Before an assembly of the entire student body Stadium defeated the Bad- gers by unanimous vote of the judges. The Blue and Gold de- baters outclassed and simply overwhelmed their older and more experienced rivals. An interesting feature of this debate was that Elbridge Phelps, who debated against the Badger Club two years ago, was a member of the Badger aggregation. The most important debate of the year is the varsity contest with Lincoln High School. Three years ago The Tacoma News- Tribune offered a trophy for the two schools to contest for. For two years the trophy had been in the possession of the North End school and our varsity team set to work with the grim determin- ation that it should remain 'tat home for another season. Fred Freeman, Hito Okada, and Edmond Savage were chosen to repre- sent Stadium. John Miller later replaced Hito through a chal- lenge. Although this was their first year in major debat- ing, they showed up so well in the various debates they en- VARSITY DEBATERS AND COACH 152 THE TAHOMA tered that the school was well content to have them as its repre- sentatives against our old Railsplitter rivals. , The three boys had the same difficulty as the team which opposed the Badgers--some time before the contest they were in- formed that they had to change sides and debate the affirmative instead of the negative. Undaunted they set to work with a will and on the day of the debate were thoroughly prepared to main- tain Stadium's debate honor. The teams were evenly matched and a real battle was the result. The debate was held in the South End auditorium, the winner being Lincoln by a 2 to 1 de- cision. ' This year Mr. Lancaster adopted a new system for choosing his varsity debaters. He picked 12 debaters who composed what he called match teams. Two were negative and two affirmative. He then set them to work looking up all phases of the Philippines question until they had it thoroughly threshed out. One of these match teams was sent against the Badgersg another against Che- halis and a third against Lincoln. Judging by the success of this system Mr. Lancaster is apt to continue it in the future. Although debating at Stadium has not yet come under the ranking of a major activity, a gold letter S on a blue felt background is given to those who have fulfilled the qualifica- tions. The requirements for a letter are one of the three follow- ing: two outside debatesg two class championships or one class championship and one outside debate. Last year about 20 pupils received letters. This year at least the same number and per- haps more letters will be given out. As in the various sports, passing work in three subjects is required for a pupil to be elig- ible to make a team and a letter. A word of appreciation for the untiring efforts of our head debate coach, Mr. Lancaster, is appropriate here. Mr. Lancaster has done more for the advancement of debating at Stadium than any other person. He has spent his time before and after school coaching, criticizing and whipping his teams into shape so that they would be able to make creditable showings. Debating is a mutual search for truth, and Mr. Lancaster doesn't consider winning to be the most important part as long as his teams present the truth in a clear, forceful manner. Congratulations, Mr. Lancaster, on your success in the past year and here is hoping that old Stadium High School will have many more successful seasons. THE TAIIOMA THE TAHOMA - T PY F-rs-sr ,ni fl-an CONSTRUCTED M WAS Il STAD IICH SCHOOL BEFORE THE JM STADII THE TAHOMA. 155 Uur Stadium In the 15 years in which the Tacoma Stadium has stood below the high school, it has seen many strange and wonderful events. Since its dedication on June 10 and 11, 1915, athletic games of all kinds and varieties, grand opera, musical comedy, speeches, dances, fireworks and a hundred other things have been held within its mighty walls of concrete. All of this is known to everyone of us, but probably many of us do not know the history of the building of the great bowl. Here is the story: In 1907, the location now occupied by the Stadium was known as Old Woman's Gulch , because a number of old women, widows of dead longshoremen and sailors, lived there in squalid shacks and shanties. Right on the brink of this unsightly place stood what was then called Tacoma High School. It was the utter contrast between these two extremes, a palace on the hill and a jungle below, that suggested the building of an athletic field there. After careful consideration it was decided that the building of a stadium in the gulch would not be practical. It was believed that the gulch would make a good playground, but nothing more, and so a gang of men was set to work sluicing down the sides of the hole to form a level field. The old women were forced to leave their homes, and soon a broad, level playground field was formed. A group of men drew up plans for a stadium, but the school board withdrew its sanction, and they were forced to give up their plans. Then the city took up the work. The promoters generously gave over their plans to the school board, and after some alterations, they were used to build the big bowl. The next question was how to finance the plan. The school children of the city raised 825,000 and the business men another 5B25,000. In this way enough money was secured to begin work on the big oval. Then came the actual construction of the stadium. It was built upon great concrete pillars which were sunk to hardpan. On these pillars were constructed strongly reinforced concrete beams. On top of these and supported 'by them were placed latticed steel girders, crossed with wire fabric. Over this material the seats l56 THE TAHoMA were molded in concrete. There are 31 rows of these seats, and they rise 52 feet above the athletic field. Surrounding the seats at the top is a promenade which follows the upper rim of the bowl. In the outside wall of the promenade there are eight gateways. These open to two great stairways and six smaller ones, leading from the stadium to the street and school. The inner wall has 29 small openings, just wide enough to admit one person at a time, thus avoiding crowding. These openings lead to as many narrow stairways which run from the promenade down to the lowest tier of seats. Because of these numerous exits, the stadium is quickly emptied and a capacity crowd of 32,000 people should be able to get out in about 20 minutes. The field itself is a very large one, ample in size for any cele- bration. It contains three and six-tenths acres. A running track one-fifth of a mile around follows the outer wall of the field. Inside the track a regulation football gridiron and baseball diamond are laid out. A feature of the track is the 400-foot straight course across the lower end of the field. This allows ample space for all of the dashes to be run off on a straight track. The stadium has an ideal location. It is only nine blocks from the center of the business district of the city. Four car- lines pass close to it, and capacity crowds have been easily handled in the past. From many other standpoints besides the mechanical side, the Tacoma stadium is without a parallel. 'It was the first stadium to be built for a high school. When it was constructed it was second only to the Harvard bowl in its seating capacity of 32,000. In the beauty of its setting and in the wonderful view which may be obtained from any seat in the vast structure, it is second to none in the world today. For 15 years the stadium has stood beside and below Stadium High School, and for many more years it will continue to stand there, a poem in masonry, an engineering feat and a beautiful picture.
