Up to that time it had been one of the most bautiful spots of all the beautiful Columbia river scenery, but fearfully lonely, perched up there in the mountains, with no neighbors for miles around, and fear- fully quiet, with the river roaring sullenly past huge rocks, and an occasional belated train s urrying along through the tunnel on the Oregon side to break the infense stillness. But this summer the North Bank railroad was in course of construction, and as a consequence the country was infested with all varieties of tramps and their kind, in addition to the accustomed fires in the forests, so that when I was not kept awake by an imagined crackling of fire, I could not sleep for fear the house would be burglarized and the whole of us abducted during my dreams. One night w r hen the stillness was more oppressive than usual, we retired a little after ten. resolved to try at least to drown a little of the solitude in sleep. Mother and I soon fell asleep, only to be awak- ened about one o’clock by a peculiar rustling sound, which resembled most unpleasantly the crackling of flames in the dry grass, but might equally well have arisen from the kitchen, as some one stumbled over the low coal bin and became entangled in the pile of old newspapers reposing there. Both were equally probable and pleasing to con- template. A quick rush to the window proved the fallacy of our first idea, so we hastily donned dressing gowns and crept stealthily dowm the back stairs in fear and trembling, mother clutching my uncle’s old re- volver. We w T ould oust the rascally intruder? On we went, peering here and there by the dim light of the low-turned lamp, down the winding stairs to the hallw ? ay and through doors whose locks had been placed there with the idea of presenting a most formidable ap- pearance without really meaning it, until w e reached the kitchen. Throwing the door open with a quick jerk, we flashed the light sud- denly on the literary occupant of the room. There was none, literary or otherwise! We went slowly, fearfully toward the front hall, only to have our suspicions as to an unbidden guest confirmed. The front door was 8 n Y A K half open and the screen unlatched. Then the solution of the mystery dawned on me. Fearing that we had been aroused by the forcing of the door, the object of our search had sought, to conceal himself in the curtained recess under the stairs, and had fallen over the mass of magazines piled there. But to draw the curtain and disclose the crea- ture was not so easy. After much hesitation and quaking, both in- wardly and outwardly, with a mental one, two. three ! I dashed for the curtain and dragged it back. There was the burglarious individual comfortably established in a hollow in the pile ot magazines, sleeping the sleep of the utterly exhausted — my great Malamute dog, Old Woman! peacefully dreaming and sonorously snoring. Rebecca Stevenson, ’ll. A Midnight Episode A festive burglar, late one night, Gave the maids an awful fright. They first heard him at the window, Thought he would break through, by jingo; Called to Andrew, 4 ' Come here, quick! Make this burglar think he’s sick!” Andrew came, his gun in hand, You’d thought it was a big brass band; The noise he made would wake the dead; His hair was brushed close to his head. ’Twas said he stopped to clean his boots, f he maids all say so ; then he shoots Out in the hall and glares around. But then the burglar can’t be found. Three cheers for Andrew,” they all said, And then went straightway back to bed. H Y A K 9 An Exciting Moment AM afraid it will be too stormy to land you at Katalla,” the grizzly old captain said. “But maybe we will have fair weather on our return trip,” he added, seeing my disappointment. Bight days on the northern seas in November is a thing few people enjoy and the prospect of having it lengthened into sixteen did not seem particularly pleasing. The wind had been raw and cutting and the decks flooded most of the time with a driving sleet. Yet they were rather to be chosen than the stuffy cabin. I was standing in the point of the boat at seven the next morning. The sea was calm, and the air soft, almost balmy with the fickle Chinook wind. Ahead were the blue hills of some large island. I wondered where we could be, as I had understood that we would not see land until the following day. “That’s your new home, little girl,” and the gruff old Norwegian captain stood beside me. “The island is Kyak and Katalla is just be- hind it on the main land.” “Oh, and you are going to put me off after all ?” I questioned. “Yes,” he answered. “Last night when that northeaster went down we turned in directly. It may yet .blow up too bad a storm for the launch to come out for you.”... “Surely not with this warm wind blowing?” I interrupted.. “Don’t place too much confidence in a ehinook,” said he with a shake of his head. We went down to breakfast, but as soon as I had had my toast and tea, I was back at my post in the prow of the boat, to find that we were gliding along beside the island and could see the little town a few miles from it. W T hat a funny little place! Just a handful of houses on the edge of the sea. Three great bars stretched out between us like the fingers of some giant’s hand. I now understood why, in stormy weather, the little launch towing the big scow could not come out to us, and it was just as evident why a steamer could not go within three miles of the land. The wind was changing. At last the launches could be seen riding over the sea, which seemed to roughen as the wind swung more and more to the north. 10 H Y A K I wondered if my father would be out to meet me. I hoped my mother wouldn’t, as there seemed to be a storm coming up. I won- dered if they would look different after my fourteen months’ ab- sence. I w ' ondered — “There is your father now!” Someone’s voice broke in on my wonderings, and I rushed to that side of the boat to see if it were really true. There he was, stand ing on top of the crazy little launch that cut in a haphazard way through the whiteeaps. As the anchor was let down the launch came alongside with a bump. I grew dizzy watching my father (who had not changed at all) so far below, and dizzier as I realized that in a few moments I should be beside him. All such feelings left me when the captain called to my father, “Do you think it is safe to land her?” “No, I think not,” my father answered, but with a wink, to my delight. First my suit case and boxes went over the side, and the next mo- ment I found myself crawling down the shaky rope ladder. Shall I ever forget that moment ! It seemed unreasonably long, but as a big wave brought the lighter up to meet me. someone cried “Jump!” and with a backward spring I landed in my father’s arms. F. O. ROOT, ’12. • _ “Sunrise S the east begins to shade into the early pink of dawn, it is like receiving some strange, mysterious message to sit and watch the mountain as it takes on its morning glow. First there is nothing unusual, just a cold, gray mountain, with a deep lavender tint around the base. Suddenly one begins to see, along the edge of the side toward the east, a line of gold, which widens and widens until at last the whole side is aglow with sunlight, while the sun has not yet risen above the range and the western side is still in the shadow. A few tiny clouds above the place where the sun seems about to rise look like bits of molten gold. There is about the whole scene an effect like the approach of a herald who announces the coming of a king and warns all to be ready to do him homage. One feels quite ready to bow humbly before the “King of Day.” When at last he leaps into the sky from behind the rang( T MINNIE CHAMBERS, ’ll. H y A K 11 My First Joy Ride” X T never surprises me to hear some one say, “Oh, the funniest thing happened to me once when I was a wee tot,” for it was just at that age that I took my most exciting trip. I was the only niece, consequently a very much petted and humored one. In particular, a young uncle, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was always planning something or other that would please me. He was the proud possessor of a huge Newofundland dog. One day as he was surveying Jack’s massive proportions an idea struck him. “I’ll make a little wagon,” he announced to my mother, “hitch Jack to it and take the baby for a ride.” I was only four years old. A day or so later Uncle Fred came into the house and said, “Where’s the baby? The wagon is all ready and I’m going to give her a fine ride.” Mother gave her consent, for it was a fine spring day. I settled myself in the box-wagon behind old Jack. Oh, dear, but I was proud ! Why, I was as proud as a queen on her throne. At first everything went splendidly. I was having the best time of my little life. Mother was watching from the door, and Uncle Fred was walking along beside the wagon. Suddenly Jack spied a cat and with one leap forward he was off after her. He raced down the street as fast as he could go. Uncle Fred running frantically after us. Poor mother! There she stood in the door, almost paralyzed from fright. She expected the wagon to overturn any minute and throw me on the pavement, which might have resulted seriously. But was I afraid? Not at all, I was having the gayest time possible, laughing and waving my hands in the air. Poor Jack soon tired of running with such a load and stopped. When I reached home again I was wild with delight over my ride and eager to tell mother all about it. Of course, she saw the funny side of it when she had me in her arms, safe and sound, but it was far from funny to her while it was happening. To my sorrow, that was the last time I was allowed to go off on a “joy ride” with my young uncle.

EDITORIAL We may well feel proud of having won the first basket ball game that we ever played with an outside team, and at having won it from sueh a distinguished foe. Let us not be downcast because we met de- feat the next time. Let us be prouder than ever of our team, put more enthusiasm into our rooting, and so encourage our team that they may ever gain more victories than defeats. And one thing more. How 16 H Y A K often, after the first game, was a remark made on the sportsmanlike way in which the High School team took its defeat. Let us strive, whether victorious or defeated, to cheer the other team with equal enthusiasm after a hard fought contest. HELEN KEEN, ’12. The next number of the nyak, girls, will be the last one of this school year, so let everyone contribute something toward making it the best number that the school has ever sent out. Write a story, or a jingle, or, if you don’t think you can do that, remember that jokes are very use- ful. Watch the girls and put in their clever sayings or slips of the tongue which they have made. The Ilyak is managed by the two upper classes, but nevertheless it is your paper, Annie Wright, and it is for you to make it a success. BESSIE EDWARDS, ’ll. The spirit and resourcefulness with which the girls have taken hold of the Lenten work this year is a great credit to the school. It was the bishop’s suggestion this year that the girls deny themselves a little more than ordinarily and earn money for their Easter offering, that by this means the spirit of the season might be more truly preserved. His suggestion has been carried out to the letter. By means of Miss Frahm’s clever bulletin, many itseful professions have been announced. Help out the good work, girls! Patronize our advertisers. RUTH CARLSON, ’14. When Fritz comes forth with ball in hand, He draws a doughty nine; The girls, they pitch all kinds of curves, And even in-shoots fine. But shou ld the umpire call a foul, As to a base they wobble, They gather round him in a mob, And end up in a squabble. H Y A K 17 A 77 1 ETICS On Wednesday, March 15th, the Seminary girls played a practice game of basket ball with the Tacoma High School girls, defeating them by a score of 14 to 7. The game was a closer one than the score would indicate, the teams being really very well matched. The lineup was as follows : A. W. S. Bessie Eckert ) Marion Kellogg J Dorothy Atkinson Oorinne Dowd j Lena Jenott | Rowine Kellogg ) Forwards Centers Guards T. H. S. . Helen Hartman . . . Alita Stiber . . . Anna Daman . . Emma Zieger Marjorie Daman Marjorie Haines The rirst half began in our favor with one field basket by Bessie Eckert and one by Marion Kellogg. The ball was kept in our territory most of the half by the efforts of the centers and the fine work of the guards. Lena Jenott’s long throws were easily the most noteworthy plays of the whole game. The High School guards worked to such purpose as to prevent our forwards from making any more field goals in this half, but Bessie raised the score three points with her carefully aimed free throws and the High School made two points in the same manner. The first half closed with the score 7 to 2 in our favor. In the beginning of the second half the High School girls got the ball into their territory, where a field goal was made by Helen Hart- man, followed by three free throws by Aleta Stiber. IS H Y A K Our girls awoke to their danger and from then on the ball never left our side of the field. Marion made a field goal, Bessie followed it with two more and with one free throw finished our score of 14. The way in which the High School forwards threw their baskets, even on a strange field, made ns feel sure that if the ball had been more in their reach their score would have been much larger. The team work of both teams was excellent, showing the hard work that their coaches. Miss Miller and Miss Frahm, have done with them. The High School guards were especially strong. Thanks to the steady watchfulness of our centers, there was little opportunity to judge the work of their forwards. We were very fortunate in having Miss Scholls of the High School as referee and surely owe her a vote of thanks. S8 8 8 On Friday, March 24th, the Seminary girls played a return practice game of basket ball with the T. H. S. girls in the High School gym- nasium. The lineup was the same as in the game played in the Seminary gym- nasium. with the exception of two new players on the High School team, Marguerite Cathout at center and Lola Sriars at guard. The points of the game were as follows: The first field basket for the Seminary was thrown by Bessie Eckert, as well as one free goal. The score was raised to five by a field throw by Marion Kellogg. Helen Hartman of the High School team threw two field baskets and Alita Stiber two free baskets, making the score 5 to 6 in favor of the High School. In the second half the points for the Seminary were the same as in the first half, one field basket apiece for the forwards and one free throw by Bessie. The High School ran up a score of seven points, making the final score 13 to 10 in favor of the High School. The teams played a fast game. The work of both was admirable, but the High School showed the effects of longer team work. Owing to the difference in baskets, our girls experienced the same disadvan- tage that the High School did here. After the game the High School girls entertained our team in the teachers’ parlor, and the afternoon closed with both teams in the best of spirits. H Y A K 19 The matinee performance of the 1 ‘Three Twins” was attended by Bessie Edwards, Hazel Chambers and Crystal Bennett. 88 88 88 88 Alice Bingham, Frances Stewart, Ida Simmons and Katharine White, chaperoned by Miss Eleanor, attended the evening performance of the “Three Twins.” 88 88 88 88 Miss Frahm chaperoned Bessie Edwards, Minnie Chambers, Dora Willoughby, Hazel Chambers, Edna Roach, Crystal Bennett, Rowine Kellogg, Adelaide Young, Marion Kellogg, Mary Simpson and Gladys Hampton to the “Beauty Spot” at the Tacoma theater. 88 88 88 88 Adelaide Young and Minnie Chambers, chaperoned by Miss Frahm, attended the P.

Nearly all the girls in the Seminary and many of the teachers attended the performance. 20 H Y A K Mary Simpson spent the week-end with Frances Stewart, February 10 - 12 . 88 88 88 a Miss Cora Mel Patten’s interpretations of Rostrand’s “Chantecler” and Maeterlinck’s “Blue Bird,” given at the Tacoma High School, were attended by Esther Marshall, Isabel Adams, Jane Durland, Winni- fred Howell, Yernita Swezea, Inez Davis and Frances Root. 88 88 8 88 The Hoffman concert was attended by Miss Smith, Miss Williams, Miss Frahm. Miss McDonald. Miss McKenzie, Miss Bajohr, Miss Bon- ner, Dora Willoughby, Katherine Simpson, Marion Kellogg, Hazel Chambers, Crystal Bennett, Marjory Cash, Inez Davis, Katherine Kerr, Gladys Hampton, Alice Bingham, Ida Simmons and Louise O’Donnell. 88 88 88 88 A reception was given at the Seminary on Washington’s birthday for Miss Kawai. of Japan, by members of the city and college Y. W. C. A. Miss Kawai is a most cultivated Japanese lady, a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and through her membership in the national board of the Young Women’s Christian Association of Japan and also in the world’s committee, she is using her talents to touch the young womanhood of the Orient. 88 88 88 88 In honor of Lincoln’s birthday, the following program was given at the Seminary under the direction of Miss Guppy: “Star Spangled Banner ' School Quotations from Lincoln ' s Speeches.

It was given by the Freshmen, aided by Miss Harnish, Miss Bajohr, Miss McKenzie and Miss Guppy. The evening was opened witli tableaux presented by the Freshmen. The tableaux were representations of famous lovers from different H Y A K 21 books. Ruth Carlson and Katherine White, representing the King and Queen of Hearts, were seated on a throne, before which the different pairs came in and bowed. Then each lover proposed to his lady-fair, using the words of him he represented. Margaret White and Florence Cornell were very good as a Dutch pair, Ilans anti Gretchcn. Lilian Gassert and Janie Dow represented Malcolm and Ellen, Scott’s hero and heroine in the “Lady of the Lake,” while Bessie Buehler and Hazel Thurlow were very funny as Barens and Peggity. After the tableaux there was a grand march, led by Bernice Phillips and Lena Jenott, who represented modern lovers, the American girl and boy. After having danced for a wdiile, refreshments were served. The girls were told that there were peanuts hidden all over the gym- nasium and that a favor would be given to the one who should find the most peanuts. Bessie Eckert, w r ho found the greatest number, w r on the prize. After the excitement of the hunt had died down, the music struck up again and the dancing continued until twelve. 82 5 $ 82 82 The song recital given by Allesandro Bonci at the Tacoma theater on March 21 was attended by Miss Williams, Miss McGraw, Miss Harnish, Miss Sieber, Miss Frahm, Miss Trane and Miss Bajohr. 82 82 82 82 Sunday Evenings Our serial was finished soiye time ago, but other entertainments have been provided for our Sunday evening home hour. On the 8th of January we had with us Miss Crane, who told us of her hopes and plans for the Chinese indemnity schools. After her talk the fruit cake sent us by Mrs. Lewis, our friend in Utah, was cut and passed around. A week later the bishop gave us an inspiring talk on personal respon- sibility. Mr. Raymouth made us happy the next w’eek by singing for us some of Carrie Jacobs Bonds’ songs. On the following Sunday evening Marion Kellogg and Katherine Simpson played two duets, a “Country Dance,” by Nethelbert, and Mendelssohn’s “War March of the Priests. On the 5th of February we had a beautiful program of violin numbers rendered by Prof. Olof Bull : Humoresque Beethoven S « nade Cabreil Pierne Johann Matthev son Serenade p ranz £ j en Traumerei Schumann The next Sunday evening Miss Frahm read from the life of Paul Laurence Dunbar anil the following selections from his works: “Poet 22 H Y A K and Son,” “Banjo Song,” “Little Brown Baby,” “Poor Little Lamb,” “Accountability,” “Angelina Johnson,” “Sympathy.” ‘ Life,’ “The Snu,” She also read several poems by Edmund Vance Cook: “The Hen,” “Bobby’s Besetting Sin.” “Moo, Cow, Moo,” “Shave Store,’ “A Thurru ’ Rest.” A musical program closed the evening: The Happy Wanderer Jtnttn Inez Davi . _ . c , Curlclt ltudy Z No. ' ll ' .’.

On the 19th of February Miss llarnish read us some delightful “mammy” stories. Mrs. Frank Kelsey also read to us from Tennyson, selecting “The Brook,” “Crossing the Bar” and “Break. Break. Break.” The next week Miss Harnish sang for us the following selections: “Japanese Love Song,” “A Memory,” “Slumber Boat.” “ In the Dark and in the Dew,” “Doan’ Yo Cry, Ma Honey,” and “Blow, Lil’ Breezes, Blow.” Ida Simmons and Marion Kellogg played two duets by Walkmann, “Under the Linden” and “Lovag.” Miss Ethel Leech, of Tacoma, a graduate of the Felton School at Boston, gave us a special treat on the 5th of March in the way of a piano recital. Her numbers were as follows : Murmuring Zephyrs ' • • en3 £ n Funeral March from Saul Mwdtluohn Stuccato Caprice Mo o k Mrs. Keator’s singing on the 12th of March was greatly enjoyed. “Mother o’ Mine,” “The Three Fishermen,” “Oh, That We Two Were Maying” and “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes” were her sel- ections. On the following Sunday evening Miss Drake gave an inter- esting talk on Alaska, and the last “home evening” of March was made very pleasant by Miss Guppy’s talk on Holland. 88 88 88 � The Guild has been very busy during Lent binding magazine stones for hospital distribution and making children’s scrap books for an Alaska mission. 88 88 88 88 The news of the sudden death from appendicitis of Marguerite H ose, formerly ’13, was a great shock to her friends and classmates here. One of her Annie Wright correspondents had just received a letter from her. full of happiness in the improved health of her mother and their return home. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved parents. H Y A K 23 Lest Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot Mrs. Sidney Plummer (Nellie Bridgman.

I. Review, The Calendar, Wheat, The Toka, The Alphian, Stephens Collegian, The Spinster, The Camosun, The Tahoma. The March number of “Whims” is excellent. We have no fault to find. The “Focus” needs a few cuts and cartoons. The article on “Old English Customs” is very interesting. We should like to see an exchange department in The Alphian. Toka, your new department, “Alumni,” is a very good plan. Best wishes for its effect on your subscription list. The Lincoln number of “Wheat” is very good, and the essay on “Abraham Lincoln’s Boyhood” is well worth reading. The exchange department is also good.

In mite boxes, many times, You will find them ’stead of dimes. “Popcorn, peanuts, taffy,” echoes through the hall, “You can buy which one you like, or you can buy them all; Popcorn, peanuts, taffy, get them any time, Swell the Easter offering, penny, nickel, dime.” Many pearly buttons gone from many waists; Can it be the latest style? Can’t account for tastes. Can it be the waists are tight ? Or do the girls forget their plight? DARNING Darn! Why Darn when DOROTHY ATKINSON Will do It for 1 cent a hole?

Music and the Home No home ever was complete without music. Without music a palace would be dreary indeed — with good music the smallest cottage is a cheery place. We need today all the best influences in the home. We need something to do away with tiresome evenings and lonesome Sundays. We need something that will prevent the family from seeking all its pleasures away from home, and some- thing that will make the home furnish the best pleasure. Nothing can supply such an unlimited fund of pleasure in the home as a piano. And when one thinks how remarkably inexpensive this luxury is he cannot but wonder how any family in the twentieth century can be content to do without this home blessing — even for a month. Not only is music a source of the greatest pleasure and a good influence in the home, but it is now a necessary part of one ' s education. Schools, colleges and universities are now establishing musical departments. The best musical instrument of all is the piano. Its cost is as nothing compared to the pleasure it brings. The Eilers stores make it possible to have a GOOD piano in every home. Easy monthly payments are arranged to suit the convenience of those not wishing to buy for cash. 943-945 C Street Tacoma
