We have attempted to out- line as clearly as possible the numer- ous activities that have taken place during the school year, and to con- struct not a literary masterpiece but an expression of student life. May it endure throughout the coming years and bring to the mind of its owner reminiscenses of school days, when by chance it is discovered in a dusty nook or corner, half for- gotten.

Briscoe, superintendent, gent- leman and friend, we owe all that fourteen years of service has given to Ashland and to Ashland High School. Coming here in 1911 before the school was yet finished, he has guild- ed it through several generations of victory, de- feat and crisis. His personal interest and at- tention have kept students in school and en- couraged them to return when discouraged or provoked. As students and friends, we wish him all the happiness that our years in school have brought us, Page Eight fiiwkiimwiii' me ROQUE? iiiifiiliiyii' Page Nine Principal licujmnin C. For-sytlu-, B. S.

To Mr. Forsythe is due much of the credit for the graduating class, which, for four years, has been directed and advised by him. Out- wardly stern during school hours, he is at heart and soul one of the most amiable persons in the world. Ever willing to help one in earnest but equally ready to let him know if he is not, he deserves much of the credit for the success of the school during the past year.

As Freshmen, it entered in September and January of 1921-22, and, after the usual session of soap-eating, began its career in the manner characteristic of innocent, self-conscious rooks. Barnard Joy was elected president, and with one football letter-man, debater, representatives in all of the various clubs and organizations and one girl a member of the basket- ball team, the class made one of the best beginnings of any class of green- horns on file. As Sophomores they returned to School with a feeling of supreme im- pertance, and endeavored to make their under-classmen feel more at home. Six boys starred in basketball, and two in football. Orville Hall wart elected president and yell-leader. As Juniors, seven boys and two girls played in basketball, nine boys in football, one boy was manager of athletics, another leading man in the an- niversary play, several starred on the basketball and track teams, one served as assistant-editor on the Rogue publications, several were staff members, and others were representatives in the various organizations of the school. Raymond McGee was elected president, and Orville Hall again yell-leader. As Seniors, the clais has lived to see established a new growth of spirit between classes and rival citiesg a new birth of interest in student affairsg and a spotless school record. The accomplishments of the class during the four years it has been a part of the school are unusual and stand out clearly. Altogether, this is one of the most successful groups ever graduated from high school. Page Fourteen ALBIE BECK - Qityxeiimmf st.. ROQUE' Twiiilirivlii MILDRED M.

This building was being removed, as was the tree, to make place for the thirteenth skyscraper to be built in Ashland. Snugly nestled among the roots was a small box, bearing an inscription which read, 'The Last VVill and Testament of the Class of '25. In very small print below were the words. See Mr. Forsythe for key.'J In due time the key was obtained from Professor B. C. Forsythe, A. B. C. D. E., a member of the Harvard faculty. After the box was opened, a small piece of paper fell out, on which was written, Immerse the large piece of paper in this box in some black ink. After this was done, the will of the class of '25 was brought to light. It read: Being in a state of mental telepathy and wholly unbalanced mind, we the Senior Class of Ashland High School, do this day tMay, Friday, 13, 19251 solemnly swear that this is our one and only, next to the last, will and testament that we will ever make.

After the season had progressed for a short time, the class was guest at the annual initiation at which black grease-paint and vinegar were the main features. This was a deciding feature, and then and there, we de- cided that when our time came, we would not be so harsh with the under- classmen. The first meeting of the season was held to elect officers for the coming year. Johnny Ruger was elected president, Aldo Parr, vice-president and Louise Ruger, secretary-treasurer. Later. upon the resignation of the pres- ident, Clyde Beeson was appointed to head the class, and Aldo Parr to take the vacancy. The secretary, who became a junior at the end' of the first semester was succeeded by Jean Stratton. Although but few meetings have been held during the year, the class has been a successful one, both financially and actively. One girl has been a member of the Rogue publications lstaff, several boys have participated in athletics, several girls have Starred in basketball, and one girl was captain of the girls' team.

It was necessary after the beginning of the second semester to add another entire row of seats in the assembly hall to take care of the influx of students during the mid-year term. The first meeting of the year was held to elect officers. Roland Ga.ndee was elected president, Barney Miller. vice-president and Madge Mitchell, secretary-treasurer, Later in the year, upon the resignation of Mr. Gandee, the vice-president was moved up and Letha Miles wars. appointed to fill the vacancy. The most interesting event of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore re- ception which Was held in the high school gymnasium, January 16, at which the mighty Sophomores gave the usual initiatory degrees. A return reception was held during the next semester. Several Freshmen students are members of school organizations. several tried out for sports and others are prominent in student affairs. As Sophomores We hope to continue the good work already started, and uphold our standards of efficiency and character.

Page Fortyfeight '-'iI11iixWK1fL mee Roo urs- Tiiililiifi' Review of the Football Season The football season opened September 15, when the first call was issued for recruits. Unlike the preceding season, most of the material which turn- ed out was green and ,with the exception of four or five, had never before played on a squad. Borah, who was elected captain at the close of the last season, did not contemplate returning to school and, as a result, the balance of the team was thrown off. The turn-out, however, was good, and seldom before have second and third team men stayed on the job more faithfully. Usually they drop off one by one until there are scarcely enough to fill the positions on two teams. It is partly to this that the success of the season is attributed. The climax came when Medford was met on the local field after they had been outplayed on every turn, twist and department by Ashland. two weeks before. The two schools were iiearly even in conference points, and in strength and strategy as well. It was to be a deciding game, andu both ,sides were on tip-toe. A huge crowd turned out to witness the tussle, Ashland hoping for a repetition of the exhibition made in the first game, and Medford for a rally and another lucky score. As it happened, the visiting team scored a rally and outplayed the locals badly, although at the end of the game the score was tied 6-6. The game was a .surprise to everyone. Because they won the former, the tie game counted in favor of Medford and gave tg! them the county championship, The season started here with a tussle with Klamath Falls, Saturday, Sep- tember 27. The easterners were fast and set a swift pace for Ashland. On the offensive, both teams were strong, and most of the time the ball see- sawed back and forth on the field and at opposite goal lines. The visiting team was much heavier, but suffered the handicap of being slow. Neither side showed up well, because the game was held. early in the season and practice had been going on but two weeks. The score was tied 7-7. A feed was given to the members and officialsof both teams after the game. A return game was played at Klamath on the following week. With the captain back and with a strong backfield, the locals played a better game. The Alkalians put up practically no resistance, and time after time their line was broken through for big gains by Ashland. During the first quarter Klamath punted once, and from that time to the end of the quarter Ashland was constantly in possession of the ball. Although they had seven or eight chances to put it over. the locals failed to score that half, until near the end when a short field goal was made. During the second half Klamath opened up with a new attack but was still unable to hold against the strong offense of Ashland. After a sensational run by Katzer to the three-yard line, the ball was put over for the first touchdown, antd the game was Ashland's by a score of 9-3. The third game of the year was lost to Grants Pass by a score of 14-7 Page Fortyxnine i 1-iI11Fi1Wii1fL sae Roc use Tilfliliiyiiri' on the Climate City field. The northern team was strong on forward pass- ing, while the Ashlandites played a better game of line bucking. The first quarter ended 0-0. In the next, both sides scored, Ashland on a recovered fumble near the opponents' 10-yard line, and' Grants Pass on a break through the line. The period ended 7-7. Although efforts were made on the part of the locals to check the drive of the northerners during the second half, they were unsuccessful, and during the third quarter another touchdown was made. The game ended 14-7. November 1 the squad journeyed to Roseburg, where probably the most unusual game of the series was staged. On a field that was so wet and mudvdy that the ball at times floated off and the players were nearly submerged, Ash- land played an entire game without a single fumble! The first touchdown was made by Ashland on a bewildering series of line-bucks made in rotation by different members of the backfield, which took the ball down the length of the entire field and across the line. The kick was not converted. In the second quarter the northerners retaliated by completing a series of runs similar to those made by Ashland, for the second touchdown of the game. The quarter ended 6-7. In the third quarter, on zl series of end runs, line plunges and forward passes Ashland, put the ball over for the lalst touchdown and again failed to convert. Roseburg in a rally, kicked from behind its own goal, fumbled, recovered the ball, and was tackled by an Ashland man, scoring a safety and bringing the score to 14-7. ' On Armistice Day the first of the annual series between Ashland and Medford was played, at Medford. During the game Ashland 'scored 12 first downs and completed all but three of the passes which were a feature of the game. Medford scored the first touchdown through a center rush on the Ashland one-yard' line. The goal kick was fumbled, recovered and an im- possible goal kicked through half the Ashland team. The locals were in pos- session of the ball over half the time. With the ball going down the field again, Ashland scored her first touchdown on a long end run. The half ended 6-7. In the second period Medford scored a second touchdown on a dead-man play, followed in the same quarter with a long run by Ashland for the last score of the game. The passing attack of Ashland was spectacular. The final score was 14-12. The next to the last game of the season was played here with Grants Pass. The game was one of the stiffest of the season, and though Ashland was winner by a 13-10 count, the northerners are believed to have played the better game. Following a regained fumble directly after the kick-off, the visitors made a field goal within the first three minutes of play. The second quarter was the only one in which the Red and White played its uniform brand of ball, when it made first downs repeatedly on a long drive down the field, scoring two touchdowns. The half ended 13-3. The last period was rather slow, and fumbles were frequent. Grants Pass scoredf a touchdown on a 20-yard pass over the line, kicked a goal, and was close to another when the game ended. The score was 13-10. Page Fifty iiiiiilxwiiyfz mee ROQUE' Wiiililiiyiisi' The return game with Medford was played on the local gridiron on Thanksgiving Day. Again Medford made the first touchdown, this time on a regained fumble taken on the Ashland one-yard line, after being held for two downs. The first quarter was replete with passes and punting, both sides returning kicks often. Ashland made her only score when a fumble on her fifteen-yard line was regained ard carried down the length of the field with absolutely no opposition. The haif ended 7-7. During the remainder of the game neither side scored, though the Medfordites outplayed in all depart- ments of the game.

During the first ten games of the year they went without a defeat. With a large turnout for practice and with an abundance of seasoned material to choose from, Coach Hughes formed the fastest. and most unusual team in the county. According to fans who have beer. in touch with the game for years, a better brand of teamwork, passing and floorwork has not been seen on the local floor since the championship year of 1922. The same lineup was used during the entire season and, with the exception of substitutions, was never changed. One of the outstanding features was the fact that no member of the team was anxious to outshine another, or perform grandstand stunts. This spirit is believed to be one of the winning features. D The season's height was reached. when, on a northern trip, teams from Roseburg, Eugene, and Salem were defeated. bringing the total of clear wins to 9. At Salem, playing on a new floor and before an unusually large au- dience, they won by a score of 30-25. At this time a Salem sports ed-itor cred- ited Ashland, and one member especially, with playing the best basketball seen on that floor this season. Yet. when they returned home, beat Grants Pass, and brought the string of wins to 10, they went to pieces, lost their form and were defeated in nearly every remaining major game of the series. What happened is not exactly known. On the morning of January 23, the quintet left in cars for Roseburg, where they engaged in a game that evening. Ashland took the tip-off and shot a basket in the first minute of play. The Umpquas were behind the locals in speed, and lacked form and teamwork. The score at the end of the first half stood 11-S. Roseburg could not break through the defense, and as a result was held down to two points, both from converted fouls. The game ended 23-10 in favor of Ashland. On the following day, they journeyed to Eugene, where a return game was played with University High. The starting whistle sounded at the same time Ridings. all-state forward, grabbed the oval for a long shot and a basket. Quickly afterwards he followed with three more, and for a while it looked as if Ashland was going to have the worst of it. Time out was taken, after which the team began to do better work. At the end of the half they were at the head of a 10-11 lead and from that time were never headed, although the northerners kept a close ante. The game ended with a score of 27-21. On Sunday morning the squad went to Salem where the last game of the tri pwas played. Expecting the hardest battle yet experienced, they went into the game with a determination to sweep their opponents off their feet. In the first two minutes of play, Drager of Salem mafle an equalbnumber of baskets and things looked bad until Ashland broke into the game, and with four baskets led the count at the end of the quarter, 8-4, Salem responded with but three baskets, while Ashland made five. The half ended 18-10. In the last period Salem made a tremendous effort to cut down on the lead Page Fiftyffive 'iiiiillmiiifl site ROQUE- Wiifliliiylif and by the end of the third quarter succeeded in getting it down to a count of 26-18. Coming back strong, they cut the lead to 49-19, where it remained until the end of the game. Return games were played with Salem February 6 and 7. when the northerners came south on a two-day visit. Although it was not predicted, they captured both, and easily walked away with the series. Jack Drager, lanky center, at times played almost phenomenally, looping shots from the center and even further back. The first night's game ended 21-20, after being tied 15-15 near the end of the third quarter. The next night Ashland for some reason seemed to go to pieces. Time after time the ball was taken away from the visitors, worked down the floor and then lost by poor passing or fumbles. When given a clear shot under the basket, the ball invariably failed to fall in. The half ended 22-5 and with a fresh comeback the lead was lowered 13 points. The game ended 35-26. The locals were outplayed in nearly every department. The first of the annual series between Medford and Ashland started February 20 on the Armory floor. The game was one of the fastest of the season, in spite of the falling-off in form of the local hoopsters. Ashland started scoring first with three baskets, and at the end of the quarter had a lead of 10-6. Medford, however, did some good playing, tied -the score. and then ran into a nine-point lead which they maintained throughout the game. The game ended 29-20. Ou the following night at Medford, Ashland was again defeated, this time by a score of 29-24. The Craterians started off at such a pace that Ashland was unable to keep even a close ante. At the end of the first half the score stood 22-12-2 and, io say the least, things looked dark-- they were. Although another spurt was made by Ashland, they could not over- take the big lead scored against them. The third of the four-game series between Medford and Ashland was played at Medford. Friday, March 5. Medford scored the first two points on fouls, and the half ended 5-6. During the third quarter Ashland began shoot- ing baskets with such rapidity that the Medfordites were kept on a dogged run. The third quarter ended 10-15, and though Ashland was outscored by one point in the last. they won by a score of 14-18, with a new lineup on the floor. The next evening they were defeated in the final game of the season by a score of 31-23. Medford, as in the first games, outplayed the entire contest with the exception of the first quarter, which was tied 4-4. During the second period, by a series of dazzling shots by Bryant, Ashland forged into a good lead, which was cut down before the end by five straight con- verted fouls, by Medford. The Craterians were ahead at the half by a score of 15-13, and during the third and last quarters, kept a close lead, out-scoring Ashland in both. Using a new plan, the team elected no captain, but used each member of the team in rotation in this capacity. Tll0lllilS lil'p'al1il-Cvlitc-1' Tom was one of the steadiest men on the team and received no little notoriety for his floorwork. He could not only outjump adversaries much Page Fiftymix fiI1KiT1Wfi1f: 'She Roc UE-' !7iil7HiliiYli'3 taller than he, but usually got the bali afterwards. More than once he came out high-point man and always in the scoring field. Tom graduates this year. Clark Butterfield-I+'orward Babe showed beautiful form at the beginning of the season and, until the Salem games, was one of the mziinstays of the team, He was credited by a Salem sports writer with playing the best brand of ball seen on that floor this year. At shooting either fouls or goals he is a wizard. He grad- uates this year. Albert Ma rsk e-Forward Al is small, but when it comes to dodging and dashing he i's a terror. He played a marvelous game on the northern trip as well as at home, and his absence from the lineup during the Salem games was one of the reasons they were lost. He has a good eye and uses it. Al may be back next year. Noble Katzer-Guard Noble was new at the game, but was only once taken out of the lineup from the first practice game until the close of the season. He is one of the best guards Ashland has ever had, and seldom lets an opponent break through for a basket. He will be back next year. XVayne Ramsey--Guard Wayne is a two-year man, and knows the game from A to Z. He has a sort of dashing dribble with which he often breaks through almost im- possible tangles. He is a good man at almost any position, but as running guard is hard to match. He graduates this year. f'm'ter XxvilS1illTl'w0l'lYRll'd VVilly started the season as a substitute, and before it was over was placed regularly on the first squad. Vfhen sent in during pinches. he usually came out one or more baskets ahead. and before the season was over did some excellent work. He starred in the third Medford game. He graduates. Frank Stratton-Guard Frank did not get in many of the big games until the last two with Medford. He proved himself worthy' of a first-team berth when he got in several games last year, and this year showed up to the best of form. Frank is another of the squad who will not be back. Arnold Gosnvll-Guard Gosnell at the first of the season was not expected to crop out in a first team jersey. He showed up well in set-ond team games, and when substituted on the first team got in some remarkable work. He showed up at his best in the Medford games. He will be back next year. Frank NI0lH'C'1f'0llfl'l' Frank is another who did not get in many of the big games. He made his letter last year as substitute, and this season came back stronger than ever. He is tall enough to out-jump most opponents at center, and as a. for- ward has a dead aim. Frank will be back next year. Lester lh-vli,-Nlzlnzlgvl' Everyone thought him pretty small to be running a team, but judging from the way he handled it he knew his oil.

With several veterans of last year's squad back in the lineup and with additional experienced material to pick from, Coach Blumenfeld formed a fast squad, which, although it did not win the championship, displayed some good form and gave several interesting exhibitions. The team played games with Talent, Phoenix, Central Point, Grants Pass, tl1e Alumni and Medford, and out of the set lost but two with Medford. Jean Stratton, captain, is a veteran of last year's team, played forward with the Rose sisters, and is one of the first Sophomore girls ever to be elected captain of a team, She has a knack of throwing baskets and eluding guards that is wonderful. Florence Nelson, who played forward on the Butte Falls team last year, made her letter this year. Florence shows a good brand of floorwork and is another who is a sorrow to opposing guardls. She played in all of the games this year. Velma Clapp. center, was new at the game, but fast to learn and before the season was over was outjumping most of her rivals. She played guard part of the time. and seemed to be as good at one position as the other. Velma will be back next year. Helen Tinker, center, started the season late, and did not get to play in all of the games. She made her letter last year, and had no difficulty in doing it again. She is tall enough to get the tip on the ball and at floorwork is hard to excel. Gladys Conner, guard, was new to Ashland this year and, because of her abllity on the floor, was one of the first to be picked on the team. She has an ability to grab the ball and get it back out of reach in record time. Emma Cook, forward, was the youngest member on the team and got in several of the big games. She has a good eye and for a girl of her size and age shows remarkable form. Great things are expected of her before she is out of school. Doris Hitchcock, guard, played on the second team last year and got in several first team games as substitute. She is adept at keeping the ball out of the encmyis territory. Doris will be back next year. 'Q ?' Page Fiityuline 'iiiiilxfxiiyfi was R.0G Urs-' g7iE7f3iIiiYl'i' Track 1924 This interesting sport was revived again last spring for the first time since 1918. A Southern Oregon meet was held May 10, at the Jackson County Fair Grounds, with teams entered from Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass, Rose- burg and Klamath Falls. Medford took first place while Ashland was nosed into third by Grants Pass, who won out by a few points at the last.

Tennis Tennis has taken a real place in high school life this year. A good deal of interest has been taken in the sport and a number of good players have turned out, including two of last year's team. The first match of the season was played against the alumni. Hugh Gilmore won a match from Fran-k Vfalker 6-3, 6-4, and Barnard Joy was defeated by Paul Wagner, champion of the school in 1922, after a long match 2-6, 6-4, 9-7, Both players took the same number of points, and the longest game went as high as 24 points. Phil Bryant and Hugh Gilmore won the doubles from Paul VVagner and Bill Allen, 6-3, 4-6 and 6-2. Robert Wright and Gains Crosby won the doubles championship, playing in the finals against VVayne Ramsey and Tom Bryant.

The society is divided into two sides consisting of Sophomores and Juniors, Freshmen and Seniors. These two divisions form separate groups, under such titles as The Rinkeydinksu and Tiddlewinks and compete with each other in all de- bates, talks and discussions. A grading system of points was employed, and the side getting the fewest points was required to give a party to the winning side at the end of each term. The Sophomores and Juniors, who lost the last contest, gave a party, January the twenty-third, at the Pioneer Hall. Several entertainments were given during the first semester. A public meeting was held near Election Day, a program given before the As- semlbly Thanksgiving Day. and a play, On the Waters by Virgil Gillette, Virginia Hooper, Marion Leach, Evelyn Taylor and Adena Joy celebrated the Christmas season.

Although it has experienced a slump in membership during the past year, in efficiency it is equal to any. During the spring it has grown considerably, more interest has been taken in it, and for the first time in its history it was entered in the annual state band contest. This was held in Corvallis on April 11. Out of the five bands entered, third place was awarded to Ashland. Corvallis took first, Albany second and Medford fourth. Much credit is due Carl Loveland, who has directed the band for over four years, and who organized the firm group. Officers: President ........... Vice-President ..... Secretary ........

Succeeding her were Leslie Wenter and John Galey, respectively, during which time the publication enjoyed a noticeable improvement. During the past year, under the leadership of Vernon McGee, it has changed its form of make-up, improved its style, and has become an up-to-date paper. One of its most unusual features, perhaps, is the exchange department. This department received papers from over 200 schools in every state of the the Union, and maintained perhaps the only high school foreign exchange de- partment in the I'nited States. lt was credited by the Oregon Emerald and The High School with being the most unusual, original and altogether unique one on file, and credit was also given, to the department at large of being one of the largest for a paper of this size in the United States. Papers were ex- changed with the following foreign countries: England, Scotland. Mexico, Can- ada, Alaska, China, Hawaii, Spain, Philippine Islands and Cuba. Others are expected later from Venezuela, Australia, and Porta Rico. The staff, with the exception of a few changes and eliminations, was the same for the annual as for the Rogue News.

Typing For the second time in three consecutive years, Ashland high won the state typing championship with a team average of 57.6, at a contest held in Corvallis, April 18. Thils score was six full points above the second highest score and considerably better than the one made last year. Medford with an average of 51.93 was second, and University High School of Eugene was third with 51.78. A new grading system was employed this year, which tended to lower the records considerably, although no effect was made upon the speed of the contestants. By this system the number of strokes were counted instead of the number of words, as before. Thus such small words as a or if were counted with longer words, and an average was taken of the whole. Salem won the championship last year with a score of 56, while Ashland with a score of 54 was second. Mary Galey made the fastest individual record in the Junior division with a score of 62.13, and Almus Pruitt of Medford placed second with a score of 61.75. Miss Galey received a prize of twenty dollars in gold from the Underwood Company and a gold medal from the college. In the advanced division Evelyn Churchill of Salem made the fastest rate with a score of 66.27, and Charles Tilton of Ashland second, with a rate of 66.07, losing by only 13 strokes. By winning the championship next year Ashland will have permanent possession of a large loving cup which will be the property of the school winning it three times. This was won for the first time by Ashland two years ago and was taken last year by Salem.

Anniversary Play Charm School The anniversary play, The Charm School , was presented in the high school gymnasium on the evening of December 3, to a packed house. The play was written by Alice Duer Miller and John Milton, and is centered about a group of young men, one of whom inherits a girls' hoarding school. Much against the wishes of his friends and a Mr, Johns, who holds a mortgage on the property, the heir tAustin Bevansl decides to take over and run the school on the promise that none of the pupils shall fall in love with him. His friends are given positions as teachers in the school, and the young principal sets out to look over his property. Vpon his first appearance, how- ever, every girl in school falls violently in love with him, especially one tElise Benedittib. and although he develops a secret, passion for her, he tries to live up to his agreement. VVhen he refuses to notice her, she runs away. Only too eager, Austin goes after her. VVhen he returns, he finds that he has lost his school, because he has let one of his pupils fall in love with him. He is offered another job, however, but refuses it. Finally, after main- taining an icy front towards Elise until the drop of the curtain and after branding her as silly , obstinate and the cause of the ruin of his school, he breaks down and confesses his love for her.

First was a woman bent and gray, Whose life, some say, was thrown away, XVaiting on those who now were dead And whose grim thanks remain unsaid. The child smiled, a breath of spring That made e'en robins pause and sing, And onward, glad, the woman passed. And thus the first link was amassed. The first link in a chain of smiles, That was designed to reach for miles- VVhose sparkling, happy golden links Could reach from eartl1 s to Heaven's brinks, The next was a man whose heart, they Say, Some naughy Druid stole away, And since, with solemn dress and mein, Has ever searched to make her queen. A smile-a nod-a wave of hand fSome summons to a fairy band Of smiles that light the grim old face? And off he set at gayer pace. So, link by link. the smile-chain grew And to each link there came a new. Until at evening of that day It reached to Heaven, people say. And the angels, looking down, Saw upon earth no sigh nor frown, And blessed the child with skipping feet, Who had passed all with smiles so sweet. -Esther Spencer. Page Eighty iiiiliitfifiifz She 'R.OG UE' Swwfliliifiii The Death Complex Fate-that was it, certainly. No other hand could have fashioned such a climax to such a day. For there across the top of the newspaper in his hand was the headline, Maid Leaves Note. Says Death is Only Remedy for her Troubles. There it was. In fact, there stood the very thoughts of his innermost mind, laid bare to the ruthless outside world. It would have been different if his life had not been predestined and fore-ordained to be a blight to itself and to others, too. But nothing ever went rightg even his poor little attempts at wit were either calmly ignored or pitilessly scoffed at, Then there was the school. The faculty was unfairg the pupils with whom he must associate were unkind, unsympathetic. Clearly, there was but one road open to him. He must end this life. So far was his manhood gone that the thought of suicide held no repugnance for him. Rather, it seemed an all-enveloping freedom, a haven of refuge, to which his fevered. weary soul might float on wings of reverie. Settling his firm, manly jaw in a fashion much approved by the men- about-town, he scanned the item to determine just in what way the maid had met her fate. It seemed that by drinking undiluted carbolic acid the fair stranger had cast off her frail bark from the shores of this life. Jack went out to the family medicine chest in search of carbolic acid. There on the second shelf stood a bottle marked CARBOLIC ACID' FATAL IF TAKEN INTERNALLY. Calmly, as a man of affairs, such as indeed he was, he went back to his chair, where he removed the stopper from the bottle. Suddenly an appalling thought struck him. He had had no supper! Hang it all, a fellow might as well die comfortably and, anyway, there were the goodbyes to be said. He must keep up appearances to the very last. Tears came to his manly eyes as he thought of saying goodbye to Miss S-. After all, though, he had but one course to follow. So, carefully hiding the bottle behind some papers on his desk, he walked debonairly from the room, whist- ling as though nothing had happened. At supper he felt quite the martyr. His sister might tease him, his par- ents ignore him, his brother scoff at him, but he, alone of all men, knew how futile was their contempt of him. Tomorrow they would gather around the still, cold form that had been Jack, and they would weep bitterly. They would be sorry for every cross word, every unkind act, everything that had made him suffer. After tl1e meal, Jack decided that he would leave no fare- well message, nor would he say goodbye to Miss S-1. No puny words could depict the anguish of his soulg no girl, however fine, could understand the overwhelming oppression of fate that had brought a man of .Iack's tempera- ment to this critical decision. Miss S-- would weep and wring her hands when she learned of her lover's death. Yes, Jack rather fancied the picture of Miss SY- wringing her hands and bewailing his fate. Promptly at nine o'clock the martyr arose and walked sedately to the door of his room. Turning, he spoke the few pertinent words which he had decided would be really appropriate and quite the proper thing for the oc- Page Eighty:one 1'iI1KiTXmfi1t: fuse ROQUE' fiiiiiiifylivs' casion. Quietly, bravely he said, Folks, I've always tried to do the right thing. tEffective pausel. And never intentionally have I wronged any of you. He lingered a moment and was gone. After the first shock, his parents attributed this outburst merely to .lack's emotional nature. They went back to their reading, little realizing that in the next room was being enacted a drama, Kas Jack told himself grimlyj of life and death. Queer, but the idea of dying didn't have quite so much appeal as it had had earlier in the evening. Perhaps he would do better to wait till the mystic hour of midnight, and let his poor misspent life glide out on the wings of the night just as the new day broke. Looking around for something to read, he caught sight of a small red Bible, dusty with disuse, lying on his stand. Thinking it a fitting companion for the last few hours on earth, he brushed the dust from it and opened its little-worn pages, intending to read a few chapters. The first word that caught his eyewas, But whosoever calleth his brother a fool, is in danger of hell- fire. W'hy it was only yesterday that he had-oh, but here was something better, And no man knoweth the glories thereof. Indeed, it would be glorious. No faculty to trouble hlm, no cares or responsibilities. Only a care- free, happy existence for him? He sat there dreaming and thinking until ten o'clock. As he heard the clock strike, he realizcd with a sudden pang of regret that he had but two more hours to live. Swiftly there passed through his mind bits he had read, tales of great men's last few hours. Some prayed, he knew, but prayer seemed unnatural to him. He sat silently, waiting for the toll of the bells. After an eternity of waiting, he looked at his watch. It was exactly eight minutes past ten. Heavens. this would never do? He fell to thinking of the glory of the deed he was about to do. After all, it was a noble act. It took a man, a real man he told himself proudly, as he unconsciously' straightened his broad shoulders. His eyes rested idly on the shelfful of books over his desk. VVho would, he wondered, have next right to them? lt must be approaching twelve. He had missed the eleven strokes. He took out his watch. It was just twelve minutes past ten. By this time a cold sweat stood out from his noble brow and a look of real anguish was stamped on his lean, tanned features, He started nervously as some unknown object. made a rustling noise out- side his window. By this time Jack was in abject misery. Suddenly a happy thought struck him. Other men wrote wills, why not he? He took his seat at the little old battered desk and started to write. After several unsuccessful attempts at a suitable last will and testament, he decided to leave the distribution of his effects to his parents, after all. By this time. it was nearing twelve o'clock and he retrieved the bottle from its hiding place and again took his chair. After several attempts to succeed in drinking the liquid, he at last decided to turn off the light, so that no investigation might be made of his lamp's burning all night. He wished no disturbance till morning, when the family should find him, just as the light from the east stole in over his pillow, touching his pallid face, It Page Eigh tynwa G iiiiixfiiixf site Roc un-' gWEF1iIiiyli 7 did not occur to him that the next day was Saturday, and his parents would not come in at early dawn. He wished to be found with one hand over his heart, the other outstretched toward the sun. But back to the cold, cruel world of reality. He rose and set the bottle on his dresser. crossed the room and turned off the lights. He picked up the bottle again and groped his way to the bed. After he had arranged his lank six feet in the way he wanted to be found, he shut his eyes and drank the dread potion, Instead of the immediate release into death, Jack drifted off into a rapture so divine, as to bepalmost unbelievable. Now he was walk- ing in a fragrant garden, now by the river Nile. Beautiful dreams rose in his fancy and, mysteriously, all at once death was glorified, wonderful. Ah, here was the lovely Miss S- advancing to meet him. Here in this Eden of promise would their souls be united, Here would their perfect dream of happiness be realized. There would artist interpret dream of artist. -And then, Eternity- .Iack Bradley, you lazy boy, get up! Get up, I say! There's the Sat- urday morning's work to do! What's these things on the floor? My Co- logne bottle, as I live, and you in bed with your clothes on. Land o' livin', such a boy. Get up! Jack was fully awake by now, there was no doubt. He blinked a minute, then glanced at the dresser. There stood the carbolic acid, as it had stood since last night. And there on the floor lay his mother's cologne bottle. Ltterly disgusted, Jack grunted, Aw gwan, can't even kill myself without- aw gwan! And he looked at his watch. It was eight minutes past ten. A-Evelyne Taylor.

The comedy was a decided success and was given before a well-filled house. Dulcy is the story of a young wife who is determined to help her husband run his business. Her every plan, however, is a failure, and it is not until after her final blunder that she wakes up to her mistakes and everything turns out alright. Dulcinea, whom everyone calls Dulcy for short. plans a week-end party to help her husband put over a big business deal. She arranges a variety of entertainment for the rich pearl manufact- urer with whom her husband is trying to form a partnership. As a climax she introduces a movie scenario writer who recites one of his rapturous plots, and later starts to elope with Mr. Forbes' daughter. After a wide variety of escapades, burglaries and mixups, everything turns out as expected. Because of the misunderstanding of Mr. Forbes about the presence of an eminent lawyer whom he thinks is representing a young millionaire, he finally forms the partnership with Dulcy's husband and gives him a larger per cent of the stock than was originally agreed upon.

Page Eightyxeight iiiifflxiifiyf one ROG Us-' Wiiililiiyii' A Glimpse Into the Future The little crystal ball was playing the most deceiving tricks with my imagination. As I sat before it, queer figures danced over its surface, and occasionally a familiar face came into view. It possessed a hypnotic charm, did this ball, and more than once I dozed. Wa.s it growing? Surely this thing could not do that. Yet it was fading away, and slowly its phosphorescent glow was turning into a dull and life-like haze. There I was with a pal of mine in a big city hunting for a friend. We turned in at a store and there was Birdena Elder, clerking. She toldi us of the show in town. YVe went and saw Laura Henry, Ruby Powell. Edith Pat- terson and Gladys Conner doing their stuff on a special dancing number. After the performance, we took the next train for the east, hoping in some way to run across our friend there. Arriving in Chicago, whom should we see but Kester Gandee, who inform- ed us with all haste that he had at last made his car go without gas. Now I can hit her up all night any old time. VValking up the street, we saw a familiar face at a banana stand. It was Kenneth Hobson. He told us of his wife, Marion Leach, who helped along with the family expenses by selling garters on the street.. Suddenly we heard a call, Say! Come on up. It was Vernon McGee in the window. VVe went up to his office. He was the editor of one of Chicagos big dailies. He said that Catherine Pittenger, Mabel Hager and Leona Ahlstrom had at- tained the classic heights via the stage. Asking him about our friend, we learned nothing. We then decided on a quick trip to New York, so we went to the aviation field. A lanky aviator slapped us on the back. Going up? he asked. It was Eddie Freeman. VVe informed him that we were, and much to our sur- prise he turned on a small phonograph in the rear seat and began playing, Nearer My God To Thee. It always makes me feel safer, he said, He took us up to the big aero station, 1000 feet above Chicago. changed since 1925, you see. Clara Huck smilingly handed us Soon the collosal air liner came along and we boarded. There tickets punched by Irma Bess. Where's Hank? we asked. She window and pointed down. That's his farm down there by the Times had our tickets. we had our went to the river. You see, I get home every other day, so it isn't so bad. In a magazine we found under a deck chair, we read an account of Albert Cotter, who had become the world's heavyweight wrestling champion. Also, we learned that Thelma Perozzi was a chiropractor of no mean note. After arriving in New York, we passed a place from which issued a terrible racket. However, upon reading a sign Carter VVilson, Singing In- structor, we were not surprised. We hurried on and, in so doing, ran into a hand-looking fellow who proved to be Robert VVright. From behind him timidly came Gaius Crosby. They wanted to take us to their bootlegging joint, but we were suddenly disturbed by a girl tugging at our arm. It was Albertine McCall. She bcgged us to follow her, and led us many blocks Page Eightwnine 'iiimiliiiiilf sae Roe UE-Q '1iIiiYIi' and at length into a tent. There sat Delphine Sackett in Oriental garb. Do you want your fortune told? she asked. We told her that we did not. How- ever, I added. I should like to know what has become of the rest of the gang that graduated with the class of '25. She went through the necessary performance of palming, and then' asked in a deep bass voice, Who shall it be? I asked for Walbert Flackus. He is turning out a new invention-a fly-by-night kite with a light on it. I was realdy for anything now. George Barron? He has become a famous musician, and leads the Barron Band of this dump. He has just learned how to play a shoehornf' Waive With- row? Oh, yes! She married George Gillette three years ago and has been divorced for twenty-two months. Alice Ferguson? Why she has just recently discovered that she was related to 'Ma' Ferguson of Texas, and has been elected governor of Oregon. Haven't you heard of that? No we hadn't. Joe Reinhart? He is training to clean up on Willie Hoppe in billiards. Lawrence Wagner? He is president of the Chinese Republic. He made a fortune selling balloons. Frank Stratton? Certainly, I can see him now bending over his pots and plants. He has devoted his life to growing an ever- bearing banana tree. This was too much. VVe left with all possible haste, after thanking our hostess profusely. Being hungry, we dropped into a restaurant to get a bite to eat, and there behind the counter sat Caryle Van Dyke, as sweet and charm- ing as ever. Hello, fellows. Turning we beheld Barnard Joy. Meet the little wife, he bellowed, After eating and chatting, we left for a theater to settle our jumbled thoughts. There we were again surprised. Alta Pickett was starring oppo- site Glenn Hunter in Seeds of Chance . I soon fell asleep. Upon waking I grabbed my friend by the arm. 1 have just seen Albie Beck, who has in- vented a new style of nut-cracker, and Rosina Gallatin who is hanging out a sizeable washing. I said. Morea Gillmore is a famous physician, and Made- line Chisholm is out on the prairies in a ranch house practicing up on the art of china heaving. My friend stretched, yawned and sank down in his chair. That's nothing, he said. While in slumberland with the sand-man, I talked with Tom Bryant who is sweeping the streets of Boston. Mildred Harris is now in Hawaii, yanking Kanaka teeth at S10 per. When passing out the door I glanced in at one of the ante-rooms. There was Esther Counter sitting at a desk, She was just finishing her manuscript 011 How I Saved My Hair. The following morning we left for home, after giving up all hopes of finding our pal. On the way, the train began to strut around and finally did a flap-jack off a bridge. The only alternative was a small out-at-the-neck tavern, located near the tracks. A hand cuffed us a friendly rap on the ear. Here's business, herels business. It was Orville Hall, I own the joint. Help yourselves. VVe did! Inside we found La Verne Brown. a capable bell hop. Hilda Hansen and Francis Fahl were booked for a three-months visit, in order to study the Page .Ninety G Efrilxitiiyfz sae Roe Urs-J !Ti?If1fIiiYli'3' habits of angle worms in the district. Next morning, we bid our friends farewell, and left on a stage, driven by Ina Farnsworth. On the way, misfortune again stubibed, her toe, the only difference being that it was a hospital this time instead of a summer resort. I came out of it and saw Webster Chattin bending over me with a meat cleaver in his hand. Behind him stood a nurse whom I recognized as Margaret McNabb. Just then Loren Culbertson came in. but when he saw I was con- scious, he beat a hasty retreat. I asked NVebster, Who's your friend? Oh, just the undertakerf' To this da.y I believe they were in partnership, one with the cleaver and the other with the shovel. Through the window I saw Barton Frulan doing his bit for society with a lawn mower on the hospital lawns. Later my friend told me that his nurse had been Stella Sewell. That day we boarded another liner and recontinued our homeward flight. Glancing downward we saw a car circling a race-track at a terrific rate of speed. The sight looked. familiar, so the pilot offered to send down and learn the identity of the daredevils. True to our belief, we learned that it was Chester Woods, circling the speedway in his S0-inch Chev Special at the rate of 240 miles per hour, with Melvin Rorah, mechanic. Arriving at Omaha, we were advised not to go on till we had visited the nation's most beautiful home. Riley Pittenger opened the door. He told us that he had made his fortune designing women's clothes. He was giving a real party at the time, and invited us in. Among those present were Clark Butterfield, a society hound. and Mildred Humphrey. Moreland Smith told us that he was principle of a high school and taught a Whiz Bang class. The rest was a hazy mist, and gradually trailed off into a shining crystal ball. There I sat as I had when I first left the room. There is no other prospect, I have come to believe, than a future of happiness and prosperity for the class of '25, M. E. B.. '25. MUSIC It was just a quivering fancy, long Sent from his lips in the form of a song, lt died in a mist of laughter and tears, Faded away in a dream of long years, Cried in its anguish, to fly from his side, Wailing away like the ebb of the tide. Death of a music too sweet for the ear, Breathing and wreathing away with a tear. Oh, mystic mansion away in the skies, Calm, frozen music! Yet some say it dies, -Dorothy Nininger.
