THE THIRTEENTH . RHODODENDRON . PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE ANACORTES HIGH SCHOOL THIRTEENTH EDITION Nineteen Thirty-one DEDICATION To All That Is Good and True Of the Life We Have Come to Know— To These Who Have Taught Us to Love The Good And the Beautiful, Whose Gentle Hands Have Never Faltered, But Held the Light Unwavering— To These: Our Mothers and Fathers Do Wo Dedicate This Book. FOREWORD W NASMUCH as ours is rather an unusual A theme for a year-book, perhaps it would be well to explain the significance of the omens found on its pages. Every person, young or old has some little pet supersti- tion—perhaps that he will not admit. Some of these are odd—some are the better known ones of black cats, walking under ladders, and so forth. One of the popularly accepted jinxes is the number 13. This issue of the Rhododendron is the 13th edition put out by the Anacortes High School—and so “Popular Superstitions” was chosen as our theme. WILD GEESE (To Haze! Strom) When the geese fly north again this year Chanting a song of spring There will be joy in the song they sing, And there will be a tear. Flying away from the blue of sky Into the land that is ice and blue, They will call as they always do— One that they love will not reply. Dipping their wings in the twilight sea, They will call to one another— “Something has vanished, gray-winged brother, Tell me—tell me—where is she?” Wild violets, missing a friendly hand, Watch the wild geese fly overhead, And whisper softly, “She must be dead— It is so hard to understand.” Superintendent of Anacortes Schools MR.

THIRTY-ONE TREASURE CHESTS These were the things my mother laid away Dew-jewelled in tears, sweet-scented with sachet;— Wee filmy baby things of sheerest lawn All there is left of babies grown and gone:— A tiny smiling pictured baby-face, Her dreams in weight of fragile bits of lace; A toddler’s shoe—a doll long cast aside— Some relic of a baby-child who died— A confirmation veil—a bracelet long outgrown— A verse once learned—a lucky jasper-stone. Commencement roses, fragrant still. Some day, Her ever gentle hands will lay away White roses, scraps of tulle, bride’s cake, and tears, Hallowed, to keep them poignant through the years. Some day. my hands will fill a chest of dreams, (lold gypsy days, bonfires that leap and gleam, Moments too dear to die, too sweet to stay, Friendships to last forever and a day— Daydreams and daffodils, laughter and memories— School days and April rain—I’ll fill my chest with these.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA FIFTY-Til KICK RHODODENDRON OH DOCTOR April 24, 1931 OCTOR Drinkwater, proprietor of a sanatorium in the southern United States, has disowned his only son because he married an actress. His wife, when dying:, wishes to effect a reconciliation, so she leaves her money to her grand-daughter, Glory Drinkwater, on condition that she spend the last twenty-four hours before her twenty-first birthday with her grandfather—hoping in this way to clear up misun- derstandings. But Glory is busy making a movie in South America, and has no way out of it but to send her friend. Honor, whose mother is ill and financially unable to ' obtain aid. Honor, posing as Glory, goes to the sanatorium, and introduces her mother, Madame Charles, as her Foster-mother. Tfowever, Glory’s fiance, Bob, chooses the sanatorium of all places on earth for his vacation, so Glory is forced to pose as a nurse in an effort to see him and ex-5 plain. She gives Honor a letter of explanation which Honor promptly loses. Phillip, a young ranch owner long at outs with Dr. Drinkwater, falls in love t with Honor, but suddenly comes on the letter and, reading it, is at outs with Honor. There is a bandit raid and Phillip is injured. However, Honor cannot speak un- til the twenty-four hours are up. At last, though, everything is straightened1 out. Dr. Drinkwater accepts Glory, Glory and Bob are to be married, Hdnor and Phillip are reconciled, and all ends happily. Much credit is due Miss Anabelle Peterson, director, for her conscientious drill- ing and work that made this the outstanding musical production for many years.

Morally and financially aided by her father, Patsy purchases a set of books on witty sayings for all occasions and sets out to try them on her mother, who, not be- ing in on the secret seriously questions her sanity. Tony, in his meanderings about looking for sympathy, runs into Patsy, who is also down on the world, and for mutual sympathy, they agree to form a “lonesome club” to compare their troubles. Tony unwittingly stumbles into her plans by agree- ing to tell her the seven ways to a man’s heart, not, of course, realizing that it is his own heart for which Patsy is so ingeniously angling. After many hairbreath escapes from detection, the plan works out. Grace mar- ries Billy, Miss Patricia Harrington marries Tony Anderson, and Bill Harrington and his wife are brought to a better understanding. The character portrayals were excellent for the most part: Lois Means as the in- genious Patricia Harrington; Vernon Jackson as Tony Anderson the modest young man with a dream; Ethelyn Van Liew as Grace, the snobbish elder daughter of the Harringtons; Billy Cartwright, the wealthy young Billy Caldwell; Jack Babcock as Bill Harrington, grocery salesman, diplomat and indulgent father; Frances Dorcy, the hysterical and overbearing Mrs. William Harrington; Bob Trafton as Francis Patrick O’Flaherty; Lyle Phillips as Sadie Buchanan: and Ralph Jorgenson as Trip Busty, taxi-driver. This was the first all-hi play put on by the Anacortes High School, and was produced under the capable direction of Miss Beulah Dennis, to whom much credit is given for the success of the production.

March 20 ®ERNARD and Eunice Ingalls, parents of three very-much-alive children of college age. are faced with the situation that comes once in a while to parents of college children—the necessity of taking their children out of college because of lack of funds. Ingalls, for eighteen years city assessor, is pushed to the wall by crooked politics, and hands in his resignation because he refuses to fall in with their schemes. It is Christmas time, and the children are home at the time of his resignation, although they do not know of it until they are told by their Grandmother Bradley, who thoroughly disapproves of the children and the general indulgence of Bernard and Eunice. Faced with the necessity of taking the twins out of college. Bernard and Eunice try to borrow money from Mrs. Bradley, who flatly refuses to give them money “to go on spoiling the children”. Hugh, the elder son, wants to give them the money he has saved for his new home and postpone his marriage. Bernard, disliking the idea, wants to go back to his old position. At this stage of affairs Bradley and Lois, the twins, take things in their own hands, obtain jobs for themselves and use a polite means of extortion on their Grand- mother to obtain the money to set their father up in the greenhouse busrness.

SIXTY-SIX xrA .y S SIXTY-SEVEN .13 th EDITION ’31 ■ “13” By DOROTHY DRIFTMIER NE of the most popular superstitions of the present day is that of the number 13. In nearly all civilized countries this number is regarded as unlucky, not only by the unlettered folk but also by many of edu- cation. Several authorities say that the origin of this is found in the fact that Christ and his disciples made a total of 13, and Christ was betrayed by one of 13. Traces of this superstition, however, are found in the traditions of ancient peoples as widely separated as the Norsemen and Hindus. Among the Turks fear of the number 13 is strongly marked. The French, Italian, and Dating races have a distinct horror of this number, and in many streets of Paris there is no. house bearing the figure 13. Even today, in modern America, where no one believes in superstitions, people would like to avoid the day, at least, labeled 13. In Seattle there are numbered avenues, but the thoroughfare between 12th and 14th—be- cause of a few timid residents—was changed to Brooklyn avenue. 13 marks the first year, of course, in the ’teen age—a great year in every child’s history. And it’s certainly unlucky for one if it takes 13 years of readin’, writin’ ‘n’ ’rithmetic before he is handed a high school diploma. For a long time the Hearst newspapers have urged the United States to adopt a 13-month calendar, all holidays falling on Saturdays. Students should stop subscribing to Hearst papers if they’re going to keep that sort of thing up. Friday or Monday or Thursday or Wednesday or Tues- day ’d be better. Lots better. There are 13 steps to climb in the front of the Columbia� building. There are 13 teachers in the senior high school faculty and their names appear on the following 12 pages in this book. There are—believe it or not —13 inches to a foot—that is, if the foot is Bob England’s right one. Or his left one. What is more, if you count them up you’ll find that a cer- tain number in this article has been used just 13 times. SIXTY-EIGHT ■ RHODODENDRON . A SACRIFICE TO SUPERSTITION By Knt h I.undberg I ON'G, long ago in the small Greek town of Apotho the olive farmers suffered from a great drought. No one knew what had been done that such a calamity should be visited upon Apotho. AH of the people of the town had paid homage to the gods. Every year the customary sacrifices had been made. Before going to war, the Greek god of war had been con- sulted. Nothing to insure the welfare of the habitants had been left un- done. And then had come the drought. The puzzled inhabitants could find nothing they had done to anger the gods, and no person in town confessed to any wrong doing which would bring the drought about. So at last, know- ing that their situation was dangerous, they sent a messenger to the oracle of Apollo it being one of the Greeks’ favorite superstitions that an oracle could show them the way out of any difficulty. Many difficulties did the messenger encounter upon the way. It seemed as if everything combined to make the journey long and drawn out. While the messenger was hastening to do the bidding of the people, those at home had become more and more impatient—what would the oracle say ? Would the tasks given them by the gods be too difficult to accomplish? All whom the courier met upon the way asked him where he was going and l'or what purpose. These also warned him that Apollo asked much from his people. At last the messenger reached his goal—what did the oracle tell him? None would know until he reached Apotho again and announced Apollo’s wishes before the assemblage of people. The journey back was accomplished in a shorter time than that to the oracle had taken and once more the tired man trod the streets of his native city. When all the people had gathered, he repeated the oracle’s words to the breathlessly waiting audience. “Oh ye people of the stricken city, great is the wrath of the gods, and great is the attonement they ask for it is nothing less than this: that one of the most beautiful maidens of the city, of her own free will, go to the huge crevass in the side of Mount Bartho and fling herself into its depths. Then and then only will your city have rain.” Great was the excitement of the people when this message was deliv- ered. But at last according to the god’s command they searched for some beautiful maiden willing to sacrifice herself. None could be found. The more beautiful the maiden the more evident the reluctanceto sacrifice her- self. It was quite plain that all beauties either rich or poor, were more used to having things done for them than doing things for someone else. The search went on while a deadly, withering heat hung over the city. It seemed as if there were no air. Now on one of the poorest of the olive farms dwelt a blind girl, Daphne by name, with her aged father and mother. She was pale and wan, her one beauty her dark fringed blue eyes. But from her face shone the pure light of the unselfish wish to give service. Although she dwelt in the humblest of places and lived on the poorest of foods she had been quite happy until this year. Great was her grief at the calamity which had be- fal'en the people of Apotho and greater yet became her sadness when she discovered that none of the fair ones of the city would make a sacrifice that their dear ones might live. “How I wish,’’ she often thought. “How I wish that I were strong and SIXTY-NINK ■ 13 th EDITION ’31 . beautiful that I might lay down my life to appease the gods.” Day after day the predicament of the people became more dangerous. Gentle Daphne was grieved to feel that her parents were in actual want now. “The poor are suffering greatly,” she said to herself. “They must have aid and that quick or there will be no need of aid, for everyone will soon be dead.” Daphne who because of her affliction, was of no use at home, often sold flowers upon the street. This year there were no flowers to sell, they had been the first to go. So now, since she had nc other occupation, Daphne sometimes wandered in the woods by herself. So acute had be- come her sense of feeling that there was no danger of her not being able to find her way home. Besides, who would not aid a poor blind girl if she should become lost? In the woods Daphne would rest and ponder upon the city’s peril. So great was her agony that she dared even to call upon the gods themselves. “Oh mighty Jupiter and Queenly Juno, lord of all people and rulers of the gods, save now the stricken city, the city of Apotho which was once so loved by you.” To Mars, the god of war, and Diana, the goddess of the chase, to Venus, queen of beauty, and to Neptune, ruler of the sea. did she make her plea. But never did she call upon Apollo, the glorious sun-god,—he had spoken. Until his commands were fulfilled no help be expected from him. One day however, when she felt more keenly than ever the worry which preyed upon the minds of her parents, she came to this discussion: “I am of no use here—perhaps Apollo, seeing my willingness to die for the people, will forget that I am not beautiful and after I am gone I know the people of Apotho will not forget to render aid to my parents. “T’will sadden mother and father it is true, but they will be proud of me and they will forget.” With almost these same words Daphne presented herself to the city council as a willing sacrifice to conciliate the gods. Great was the excitement of the people when her words were repeated to them. “She is not beautiful,” said some, “It is no use.” Others said, “Let her try, we are desperate. Let her try.” Only Daphne’s parents said never a word. Pale and careworn were their faces but one could see that they were proud of their child. At last the preparations for the sacrifice were made and Daphne marched to her grave by famous and brave men of the city and with six of the most beautiful maidens walking by her side. How willing, how eager they were to be in the procession when it did not mean their death! Some of the good people of the city pitied Daphne as she marched by, head erect dressed in the costliest and most beautiful garments that could be found. So strange was her appearance that a few whispered, “She is almost beautiful.” At last they came to the edge of the crevass. A few feet from the edge they stopped and Daphne went on alone. At the brink she paused; at last she leaped to her death. There was a deep awe-stricken silence among the people, then it seemed to them that a deep, rumbling voice spoke to them from the girl’s tomb, and the voice said, “The most beautiful of all may not have beauty of face and figure, but must have beauty of soul.” SEVENTY RHODODENDRON Nuts and Rattles Be kind to dumb animals, all your life.

How much are they getting for ghosts this year, pound for pound?” Gil laughed. Geraldine smiled meaningly. “It’s O. K. with me if you want to get fresh with a ghost. They react to unfavorable comments, you know.” “Little sister has been reading Horror Stories,” explained Gilbert in- dulgently, in the tone he knew Geraldine hated most of all.. “Little sister” grinned impishly. “Be it on your own heads then. But I shan’t say anything against the Rocking-chair Ghost.” “Nut!” snorted Gil, as Geraldine concluded her ultimatum by making a face and going out the door. “These kid sisters give me a large loud pain. All her life she’s been that way— “What way?” Bert looked up lazily from a magazine. “Oh, tinkering with things. Greasy old cars and washing-machines, and defective baby-buggies. Fixing ’em, oiling ’em, greasing ’em—Girls shouldn’t do that—. And now she’s got this ghost bug. Darn! Whoever invented little sisters?” “Oh well!” Bert laughed. “She’s made a perfect fool of me every minute since you’ve been here. You will think we’re all like her and won’t come home with me again,” lamented Gil. Bert laughed again. “All kids go through the ghost stage. And don’t worry about the grease—she’ll get over it!” “Getting neat in your old age. Bertie my boy”, said Gilbert, laughing. “I?” Bert looked up in surprise. Gilbert pointed to his slippers, set primly against the wall. Bert looked at them a moment, then back at Gilbert. “Mebbeso. But you re too deep for me, Gil. I don’t savvy.” Gilbert looked at him dubiously. “I threw my slippers over there a minute ago and you straightened them out for me, that’s all.” Bert looked at them again, then at Gilbert. “Have you—ah—any of it left?” he hinted delicately. “Oh, it’s all right,” laughed Gilbert. “Only that I’d never noticed any previous symptoms of neatness cropping out in you . “Don’t be abstract, Gil. I didn’t touch your slippers.” He went on un- tv'ng his shoes and Gilbert looked at him. “The heck you didn t! he final- ly exclaimed. “But forget it.” He set down his pet steel-bristle brush on the top of the bureau and opened the top drawer. “Sure,” said Bert, looking up “But I didn’t do it.” Gilbert turned around and looked down at his chum. It was puzzling, to say the least. Such a silly thing—but Bert wasn t like that. He stood for a moment, then turned, his hand reaching for the brush. It wasn’t there. He looked down, surprised and annoyed. It was in the 8 E V ENTY - TH R K K ■ 13 th EDITION ’31 . bureau drawer. He looked at it for a minute, then turned around. “What made it do that?” he asked. “What made which do what?” Bert looked around, mildly surprised. “My brush”, said Gilbert. “I put it right there and now it’s in the drawer.” “Knocked it in, goofy.” “But I didn’t touch it!” Bert looked at him. “Peculiar”, he said, peeling off his sweater. “You probably didn’t notice. Do you feel all right?” Gilbert moved away from the bureau and sat down on the nearest chair. “Pretty bloomin’ funny,” he uttered. Bert laughed. “What was that your sister said about this house being haunted?” “Gerry is crazy as a loon,” snapped Gilbert. “Nobody believes in haunted houses any more.” He had hardly spoken when the bureau drawer suddenly snapped shut with a bang. His jaw dropped. Bert let go the shoe he was holding and stared in frank amazement. “By golly,” he breathed reverently. After a few minutes the boys undressed and prepared for bed. Ere turning out the light Gilbert, upon pretext of dropping a cuff-link, took a good look under the bed and was startled into a yell to see a large black cat arise from a corner and advance, stretching itself. It stalked out majestically and tramped over to the door, yowling loudly to be let out. The boys sat staring, open-mouthed, paralyzed. Before either could be- stir himself to move, the door swung silently inward and the cat marched , out, after rching its neck and meowing at the vacant air as though someone it knew stood there. Bert’s face was gray and Gilbert’s eyes threatened to fall out of his head.' They might have sat there for a year had not Geraldine’s voice from her room next door sleeply inquired what was the matter, and Mr. Watson appeared at the door to inquire if they intended to lie awake and yell all night. By mutual (yet unspoken) consent they said nothing about their troubles and assured him they would go to sleep immediately. They sat looking at each other uneasily for a few minutes then climb- ed into bed, feeling rather silly. Neither would acknowledge his feeling so they turned out the light and talked in low tones to keep up their morale. “I asked Dad”. Bert was saying, “And he said—Gil!” his voice broke suddenly, and his hand dropped on Gilbert’s arm. Gilbert jumped guilidy. “What-” “L-look at that chair!” Gilbert eyes turned to the rocking chair that his mother had installed in his room (over his protests, it may be said). It was rocking gently back and forth. There was no apparent reason for its acting that way, and the boys suddenly felt chilly and prickly. It stopped after perhaps two minutes and the boys lay silent, white faced and immobile. They lay awake for hours, but nothing more occurred. Breakfast next morning was a singularly silent meal. Geraldine was worrying out a solution to a difficult repair job, and the boys were sleepy SRV KN'TY-FOri� RHODODENDRON and sheepish. At last Gilbert broke the silence. “Say Sis,” he said with affected carelessness, “What was that yarn you were telling us yesterday about a ghost?” “Oh, I don’t know,” Geraldine returned carelessly, “You didn’t believe me then. Just about a ghost—a little old lady who likes things neat and is fond of a little old rocking chair—it’s the one in your room, by the way, Gil—she used to sit in it and crochet.” Gilbert swallowed his toast with an effort, and by and by he and Bert ambled gingerly and wordlessly up to his room. On the floor beside the rocking chair lay a ball of crochet thread. The boys looked, then backed out rather weakly and went down stairs. For the remainder of their vacation, the boys displayed a sudden violent love of the great wide open spaces and the beauties of nature, spending the three ensuing nights in camping out. “Thank you for letting me use these electromagnets, Mr. Jennings, Geraldine placed six on the counter of the second hand-general repair shop. “Oh you’re welcome. But what on earth were you doing with them all?” he asked. “Oh—I was just-er-experimenting”—and the cherubic smile she gave Mr. Jennings was just as guileless as that which she had bestowed on Gilbert as he had waved goodbye—.
