Seniors Recently many class meetings have been held by the Seniors at which all class matters relating to commencement have been discussed There was a little disappointment with regards to the program select¬ ed, as the chosen ones were out of stock and the class was obliged to make a second choice. The Seniors and Sophomores will give an entertainment at the Crystal Theatre in the near future for two evenings, and it is expected that a large crowd will be present at both which will be of high char¬ acter. At last the class rings for which the Seniors have been eagerly watching for the last few days have arrived. They are much admired by all who see them, and are highly prized by their owners. The class of 1910 decided to have a play at their Commence¬ ment Exercises instead of the usual orations,and are progressing rapid¬ ly with their preparations. The play selected is an adaption of Ten¬ nyson’s “Princess”, and Mrs. Houston has kindly consented to take charge of the music one of the leading features of the presentation con¬ nected with it. The Princess will be represented by Wilhma Young; the Prince, by Arthur Danielson; Lady Blanche, by Fanny Gregory; Lady Psyche, by Anna Sigurdson; Melissa, by Edythe Ross; and Vio¬ let, by Fanny Anderson. On account of the small number of Seniors, the remainder of the caste will be made up of Juniors, Melville Morton representing Florian; Abel Wright, Cyril; Fred Hardesty, The King and Brewer Billie, Ipse. Representative A. H. Heerdegen of the International Corres¬ pondence Schools of Scranton, Pa., has recently said that Arthur Dan¬ ielson, of the class of 1910. showed the best knowledge of mathematics of any I. C. S. student in Oregon. Mr. Danielson is taking a course in complete electrical engineering from that institution in addition to his high school duties, and his class is very proud of the progress he has made.

COMMENCEMENT

Mtstoiy of the Class of 1910 ' J ' he fatal time will soon be here when we shall pass forever from our dearly beloved Alma Mater - the one that has so long been a source of pride to us. In the year 1906, the 1910 class, to be. came to the High School as a meek and mild bunch of freshies, but ere the course of a term was over we began to see things in a different light. We had a meeting, more for common protection than anything else, and elected officers, becoming enthusiastic in the meantime. During our Sophomore year, we were a live bunch and our “tallyho rides” were a source of enjoyment to all. We made a large green and gold pennant for which we often had to fight most valientlv, the other classes being jealous of our glorious emblem and seeking to destroy it. Then we became .Juniors, that hard studying, fighting class. W’e introduced into the school, June 15, as a day set aside for Junior Day. We raised our flag, and under the guardianship of a few little girls, the mighty class of ’09 took it down in defeat. But at last we came to the height of our ambition. We are now Seniors, those wise, dignified students who frown, but smile occas- sionally. W’e, as Seniors, have tried our best to have the good thots of all in the school The TO Class is foremost in all student body af¬ fairs and does all it can for the welfare of the school. But now we must leave. W T e wish to say that we leave with deep regrets and that we leave behind us loving and sincere friends among the students and members of the faculty, that the members of the class will never forget.
