Hchrratuut $ Who pays the flower, Which, at the time of joy, or sorrow’s hour, Expresses sentiments we cannot voice— Insensate though it be, sans will or choice? The buffoon, mouthing inane quips, Is honored, both from purse and lips, But flowers, with most things heaven-brought, Must be content with what they’ve wrought. And so ’tis meet that we devote This book (that man may quote It in his praise) to these Which he’s aware are here, but seldom sees. C. M. Grigsby

ifnreftmrit J $ 'T'HE scenic beauty of Oregon is noted all over the United States. Its fertile valleys, green forested mountains, and snow-clad peaks have been extolled by many writers. The division pages of this yearbook delineate the abundant wild- flower glories of the state of Oregon. It is a fitting tribute that the cover of the Albany High School Whirlwind presents the floral emblem of the state of Oregon, the flower with symbolic grace and pioneering spirit—the Oregon grape. This attractive bush with its beautiful yellow flowers blossoms riotously very early in the springtime, in the woods and mountains, and has a special niche in the hearts of all Oregonians. The Oregon grape, however, is not truly a grape, but a barberry. Its clusters of dark berries are grape-like, and it is obvious, therefore, that the early pioneers, remembering the purple-clustered vines of then- former homes, called it the Oregon grape. The glossy, green leaves re- semble the cultivated holly, and for this reason the luxuriant foliage is very effective for decorating purposes. From the Indians, who utilized the plant for dyes, food, and medicine, the white man has learned its commercial value, and every year tons of Oregon grape roots are dug and marketed. Fortunately, the shrub multiplies very rapidly: otherwise our Oregon state flower might be in grave danger. We regret that it is not possible to feature more of the flowers growing in the dales and on the hills of Oregon. Some of the more popular and better-known species have been selected as the able repre- sentatives of the wealth of flowers that adorn the countryside. They include daisies, larkspur, rhododendron, iris, and wild rose.
