The class of 1915 was perhaps the most enthusiastic if not the largest ever entering the High School. The class soon organized and elected the following officers: First Semester—President, Wetzel Griffin; Vice President, Margaret Barry; Secretary, Nancy Welch; Treasurer, Lorens Logan; Editor, Mildred Copeland; Sergeant-at-Arms, Duane Souden. Second Semester—President, Robert Malarkey; Vice President, Nellie Larsen; Secretary, Maude Larsen; Treasurer, Myrtle Linville ; Editor, Jessie Garner; Sergeant-at-Arms, Adolph Drilling. During the second semester a party was given in the A. O. U. W. Hall. This was in the form of a reception for the February class and proved a grand success. The Freshmen Picnic was held at Columbia Beach and was greatly enjoyed by all. SOPHOMORE TERM. First Semester—President, Ivor Ross; Vice President, William Sigurd- son; Secretary, Claudia Malarkey; Treasurer, Nancy Welch; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Adrien Ford. Second Semester President, William Sigurdson; A ice President, Rose O Farrell; Secretary and Treasurer, Louise Morgan; Sergeant-at-Arms, Frank Roller; Editor, Jessie Garner. All through the Sophomore year a great deal of interest was shown in school activities. Several of our members were on intersociety debating teams. The Sophomore girls also won honors in Basket-Ball. The Sophomore picnic was held at North Head and was an event long to be remembered. And the ice cream! How good it tasted, especially to those who wheeled it in a wheel-barrow over all those weary miles. JUNIOR TERM. First Semester—President, Wetzel Griffin; Vice President. Lorens Logan; Secretary, Claudia Malarkey; Treasurer, Myrtle Linville; Editor, Jes- sie Garner. Second Semester—President, Lorens Logan; Vice President, William Sigurdson; Secretary, Jessie Garner; Treasurer, Dale Howard; Editor, Rose O’Farrell; Sergeant-at-Arms, Claudia Malarkey. The Junior year was a busy one, because of the necessity for raising funds. The biggest “event” of the year was the Country Fair. On Saturday, Maich , at :30 P. M„ the parade slowly wended its way through the crowd¬ ed streets and assembled at the Fair Building. Inside the Vaudeville claimed the most people and the Japanese Tea Garden, presided over by quaint [ap maids, also attracted many. Besides these were the “Fish Pond,” “Kiss Booth,” “Hall of Fame,” Chamber of Horrors,” and many others, A lar°- e sum was cleared from the “Fair and the class considered their hard efforts were well rewarded. — 24 — The Junior Prom, was given at the A. F. S. C. Hall. This was a decided success and can well be said to have been the best ever given. The hall was decorated in the class colors of yellow chrysanthemums and greens were hung from each chandelier, giving a very pretty effect. Ferns were used profusely in decorating the Balcony and Punch Table. SENIOR YEAR. First Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President, Jessie Garner; Secretary Myrtle Linville; Treasurer, Ruth Spande; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Claudia Malarkey. Second Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President. Dale Howard; Secretary, Martha Jackson; Treasurer, Ersie Mathews; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Lorens Logan. The Senior class gave a very successful ‘‘Cafeteria - ’ during the first se¬ mester. Several ice cream sales were also given. We are proud to think that some of our class—Eva Bower, Ruth Spande, Sverre Halsan and William Sigurdson—won honors for the school in debate. The class have purchased rings and pins as a remembrance of our High School days. We are also planning to leave a momento to the High School which will be a lasting remembrance of the Class of ’15. And now, after four years, our High School career is drawing to a close. And though we anticipate with pleasure our graduation, yet it is with a feel¬ ing of regret, that we must leave behind us our many friends among the students and faculty. ADVICE Freshmen, Freshmen everywhere, There’s nary a place I roam, But I see a bit of dazzling green, Alone,—just fresh from home. These Freshmen are no earthly use, They’re all to small for the team, ’Tis best they should sit on the nice big lawn, And help to keep it green. 25 — WILL of the CLASS of 1915 (MARGARET BARRY.) Whereas it has for many years been the custom for the senior class to leave a will, and Whereas vve of 1915 are possessed of many things which we feel will be of value to our successors, We hereby do legally bequeath in the following manner. First, as a class we leave to the school all our senior privileges, the honors we have won for the A. H. S., the honors it has bestowed upon us, and, as a remembrance of our four years here, the clock on the cornice (any one savins ' “some time” will be accused of trying to rival Hokev Logan). As individuals we desire to distribute our properties as follows : Lorens Logan leaves his self-esteem to Geo. Tucker. Maude Larsen leaves her graceful bearing to Lena Bartlett. Myrtle Linville bequeaths her successful chemistry experiments to Grace Hammarstrom. Ersie Mathews leaves her white-topped shoes to Hilma Hendrickson. Hazel I innell bequeaths her distinctive coiffeurs to Mary Anderson. Jessie Garner leaves the dress she made in Domestic Science to Hazel Souden. A ictoria W estersund leaves her German IV notes to Estella Cooke. Ruth Spande desires to leave her interest in school affairs (One “affair” in particular) to Lillian Tepola. Fred Erickson leaves his enchanting glances to Cyrus Willikson. Rose O Farrell bequeaths her athletic prowess to Edith Davies. Freida Ball leaves her superfluous “Sparkles” to Sherman Wight. Eva Bower leaves her extra candle power to her less brilliant school Marion Smith desires to leave her retiring disposition to Chas. Gratke.

[GRACE O ' DONNELL NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (With Apologies to Loowit.) Now, what would you do with this school of yours If Agnes Lahti should draw low grades: If Dorothy ceased giggling, if Lorens ceased yelling And the Zepyhrus really had paid? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If everyone turned out to a game: If Raleigh ceased blushing, if Maude would cease gushing And if Tell W. acquired fame? Now, what would you do with this school of yours If the Latin ponies were left at home: If Ruth ceased collecting, if Charles ceased joking And Lena Bartlett began to “bone ? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If Domestic Science girls really would treat : If no one was tardy, no one played hookey And the school had just enough heat? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If. in the wild hallucination, I ' d call this a poem, a very good poem. And hope for its publication? SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (By MAUDE LARSEN.) In the course of my operatic tours throughout the leading cities of the United States, I was very anxious to visit my old home town Astoria, it be¬ ing many years since I had stood on the soil of this historical city and chatted with my old school mates. I am rather modest in speaking of the fame which I have achieved, but you all know that I have stepped into Mary Garden’s place upon the Grand Opera stage. When I arrived in Astoria I immediately went to the Hotel Waldorf and retired to my room, but being tired after my journey called for a glass of water and was indeed astonished to have my request granted bv Lorens Logan the head of the corps of bell hops. Scarcely had I recovered from this shock, when a reporter from the As¬ toria Times was ushered into my sitting room and when she perceived that I did not recognize her, handed me her card, Miss Eva Bower, Dramatic Re¬ porter. From her I gained some valuable information as to the whereabouts of other members of the class of T5. She told me that Victoria Westersund was instructing Chemistry in one of Astoria ' s numerous High Schools. Ruth Spande was Governor of Oregon and had recently made an eloquent appeal to the members of the House for the purpose of convincing them that William Sigurdson should have a more honorable position than Janitor of the Capitol. Begging to be excused on account of other urgent business, she left me; so I decided to go on a sight-seeing-trip. I took the elevator and descended to the first floor, and when walking to my car, passed the cigar stand, which was being managed by Ersie Mathews. Across from her Clara Pedersen was checking hats and coats. ■ While speeding through the city, the traffic policeman, Fred Erickson, arrested us and we were brought before the Judge, Sverre Halsan; and when I disclosed my identity, the judge immediately pardoned our offense and se¬ verely reprimanded the officer for arresting so famous a person as “I. Of course nothing would do but I remain and chat with the judge. He told me that Alice V ilson and bereida Ball were on the vaudeville stage in a song and dance act entitled, “The Curse of an Aching Heart. Dale Howard was managing an ostrich farm in Alaska. Rose O ' Farrell was instructor of Gymnastics in the Wellesley College. Jessie Garner had been adopted by the Vernon Castles, long-ago desert- mg the school room, to achieve fame in the 1 erpsichore Art Elizabeth Moore had worked charms with her Beauty Parlors. Marion Smith and Helen Dahlgren had opened a Modiste’s shop in Paris and Myrtle Linville was acting as their model. 1 he war, which had not yet ended, still claims Martha Jackson as a brave nurse. Kaiser Wilhelm has decorated her with the iron cross as a token — 28 — of bravery. Often she is to be found in the trenches administering to the sick and wounded. Upon returning to the hotel I entered the dining room and was highly amused by the antics of Claudia Malarkey, the dainty little cabaret dancer. But there is yet another in whom I take pride in mentioning, for has it not been rumored here and abroad that Margaret Barry is going to announce her engagement to Lieutenant-of Fortress Monroe in South Carolina? © V $ wV THE ROOTER Didn ' t play football— Couldn’t fight. Stood on side lines— Yelled with his might. His face was purple His throat was sore; But yelling was fitting, For Burns made the score He croaked the news Like a frog in a pool. Then croaked some more— For he loved his school. And then the reporter The man we need ! Wrote it up in the paper Next morning you read: How the tackles and quarter And guards the game won, And the fellow who yelled— Of the credit got none. — 29 THE SENIOR BILLBOARD —Claudia Malarkey CO cc LU DC LU h Li.

The first semester of the year was not a busy one for the Juniors and few meetings were called. The officers for this term were: President, Joseph Anderson; Vice President, Max Riley; Secretary, Marie Anderson and Treas¬ urer, Rauol Karlson. If the first semester was simply one of thought, the second term is as¬ suredly one of action. The class of ' 16 realizes that it is “up to them to do great things this year and preparations have already been made concerning the Junior Fair, which, in the minds of these active members at least, gives promise of being the greatest ever. In order to defray the expenses of the Prom., various benefits have been held. In addition to the usual candy and ice cream sales, the Juniors gave their Annual Cafeteria, the proceeds of which exceeded any before realized. Plans are being made for the Junior Fair and, if we may believe the rumors which are abroad, it is going to be the funniest and most mirth making affair of the Season. The juniors have the numbers, the ability and the will power, so under the administration of the following officers: President John Elliott, Vice President Clyde Lee, Secretary Henrietta Paulsen, Treasurer Annie Nelson, Track Manager Clyde Lee,—watch them go! — 33 — THE SOPHOMORE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES (ALICE WHERITY.) The Sophomore class of 1914 and ' 15 is the largest class the High School has ever had and in addition to being the largest it gives promise of being the foremost. The first meeting of last semester was called for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, the following being elected:— President, Dolph Hardesty; Vice President, Alex Bremner; Secretary and Treasurer, Ethel Jacobson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Bryon Ross; Editor, Myrtle Trosper. The Sophomores are well represented in the school activities,—basket ball, foot ball, and track. We take great pleasure in claiming Dolph Har¬ desty, Horace Trotter, Ragnor Johnson, Osmo Manula, Arthur Tucker and others as members of the class of ' 17. The offices of this semester are filled by the following:— President, Harold Larkin : Vice President, Myrtle Trosper; Secretary and Treasurer, Lena Bartlett; Sergeant-at-Arms, Otto Herman; Editor, Alice Wherity. THE FRESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES (PAULINE LARSEN). The Freshman class this year is a large one, and those entering in either semester went about their work with characteristic earnestness. The first meeting of the year was called for the purpose of electing offic¬ ers. The result of this election was as follows: President, Arthur Clinton; Vice President, Pauline Larsen; Secretary, Frances Dunbar; Treasurer, Urban Duncan; Sergeant-at-Arms, Harvey Staples. The following were elected to office for the second semester: Dorris Hoefler; reasurer, Cleora Rennet; Editor, Pauline Larsen; Sergeant- Dorris Hoefler; Treasurer, Cleora Rennet; Editor. Pauline Larson; Sergeant- at-Arms, Harvey Staples. Several meetings have been held this semester, one for the purpose of levying a tax in order that our picture could appear in the Zephyrus, and the other for deciding on the question of a picnic, but no decision was reached. Our class has been well represented in athletics, one of our members making the High School Rasketball Team and another the Forum team. Our class also made a good showing in football, several of our men proving them¬ selves big factors in making the team a success. High School Spirit (P. T. KADIXGER.) School Spirit is a great asset to every High School. It gives character to the institution and virility to its personnel. By it the best teachers are retained in the faculties, and by it manhood and womanhood is developed to its fullest capacity. Genuine spirit lends enthusiasm to every High School activity. It makes better students, more efficient debaters, and stronger ath¬ letes. It puts unity and co-operation in the student body. It places a common goal—the honor of the High—before every contestant. The spirit of the High School serves as the mortar between the bricks, giving permanence and strength to the institution. It makes the High School days live forever in the hearts of its students, its alumni, and patrons. It is this school spirit that makes our hearts swell with pride for Astoria whenever her fair name is mentioned. This same spirit makes us stand by her banner to the last in every contest. When the honors of the Purple and Gold are at stake on the gridiron every student is there to help to defend them. The field resounds with their cheers for victory. The mass of enthu¬ siastic students surges up and down the side lines, shouting, singing, waving their banners. A e retiieve every loss with added mspiratin, recognizing every gain with vociferous outbursts of encouragement. In the strategetic moments of every contest, the student enthusiasm sweeps the team on to victory. Under the inspiration of such spirit there can be no lack of unity, and everything is in perfect harmony. There is no opportunity for playing to the grandstand under such stress. There can be no thought of individual honors. One purpose predominates both rooters and team—victory, Astoria High. I his is the spirit that wins. Not only in athletics is this true but likewise is is true in scholarship. Our students give accounts of their attainments at the different l mversities and Colleges, measuring up in no small way to the abilities of our sophisticated grads. 1 his must be the spirit that dominates every school activity. It must be the whole school that meets every competitor or opponent. The team which meets our interscholastic debaters, meets them and back of them the best work of the school. Our teams are the center of action and the mouth¬ piece of the whole. Every student in school who knows anything about debate is ready to aid the team. Every eye is alert for material ' pertainino- to the question. T he faculty exhaust every resource in their support Over all this material support comes the enthusiasm of a united student body. Society prejudices for the time are cast away. Individual interests are forgotten An efficient team and victory become the all-absorbing desire of the whole school. It is needless to say that this is the spirit that wins. Such responsi- — 38 — bilities have made possible our success in the past ami have opened the way for even greater advances. 1 he faculty is ever ready to aid the students in school activities and this is evidenced in the good feeling throughout the institution. Co-operation is the dominating feature of every strong institution. “Abe” Lincoln said “A house divided against itself shall fall.” A faculty or student body divided against themselves will be lacking in efficiency. Check dissension, guard against unsportsman-like attitude, and you will be bigger, nobler, and a pillar of strength in aiding organization. By organization we are able to arouse the best spirit, putting our best efforts into entertainments, school plays, picnics, and student functions in general. Stick-to-it-ive-ness is a valuable factor in achievement, remembering that effort and continuity must be exercised before results are obtained. Remember the best general, before his promotion, was the very best soldier. If not a leader now, be a good follower and by development of self and of others we grow physically, intellectually, and socially. Let us have, then, united effort and one spirit. W hatever is worth doing at all should merit your best efforts, and put personality in all the activities. It is easier to be active and interested than to be slovenly and static. Dynamic power is what every individual with an ideal must have in order to reach true character in manhood. Individual activ¬ ity is an exponent of personality, and personality is an exponent of character. Ask yourself occasionally if you are doing your best to keep up the “spirit” in student functions, take an inventry and see how much of a force you could be to make the wheels of progress move in student affairs. A united whole is always the greatest factor in progress of a school, community, or state. Shall we be enriched and take advantage of fleeting opportunities? Certainly we do not attribute all success to our predominating High School spirit. But it is the school spirit, school loyalty, that encourages every student to do his very best, and sacrifice to reach the highest attainments possible. May we be encouraged to greater achievements in athletics, more marvelous competency in debate, a keener and more aggressive scholarship, and more than all else, to the development of a larger and broader manhood and womanhood qualified to meet life ' s unceasing struggles. We regret that the illness of our principal, Mr. W. M. Stone, prevented his completing the school year. A change of climate and complete rest, will, we hope, restore him to his former good health. The Board made a very gratifying selection in the appointment of Mr. L. B. Hoisington, to fill the principalship left vacant by the resignation of Mr. Stone. Owing to the debt under which the Zephyrus has been laboring, it has been impossible to put out more than one paper this year. The Staff has en¬ deavored to make this one paper a thorough review of all the school activities of the term. We realize that there is room for a great deal of improvement, but, having done our best, we submit our effort to you, If the paper shows any particular merit the credit is due to the contributions of the individual members. To these students, the Zephyrus extends its heartiest thanks. The Pessimist’s Dream F irst Choice of the Judges (By EVA BOWERS.) The bachelor Pessimist leaned back in his easy chair and groaned. “I am the most miserable man alive. Why even Neighbor, who has a family to sup¬ port, is happier than I. But he doesn ' t seem to worry about those six children —and I don ' t believe he ever thinks about their future. Oh! That I could be so blind! That I couldn’t see to what this world is coming. Oh! But it is full of trouble. I don ' t see why Neighbor can be so happy.” Thus spoke the Pessimist. “Neighbor is happy because he found the Red Rose that makes life ' s path rosv,” said a small voice in his ear. Just my luck, said the Pessimist, ”1 never could find anything.” “Would you like to see why he is so happy?” Well—ahem—yes.” Come, then, put on these spectacles.” Oh, of course mine aren t any good. That is always the case with every¬ thing I get.” The fairy led the Pessimist through Neighbor’s garden into the little white building where Neighbor was running the separator. Pessimist noticed that the tallest and reddest roses grew in the garden, but he didn ' t notice that the path was strewn with roses. Indeed he wasn t looking for flowery paths in this world. Pessimist had been in the separating room before and had seen only its lining of rough boards, but now he saw that the interior was bedecked ith roses and from each one a tiny face smiled. Neighbor w r as whistling and the roses danced to his tune. It worried the Pessimist dreadfully to see them dancing around the milk. Some of them actually fell in. “Goodness,” he thought, they will spoil it. But the milk remained as white and pure as ever. Soon, Anna, Neighbor’s daughter came skipping along the path. The Pessimist, noticing the roses cried, “Oh, she’ll spoil them. But they didn’t seem to mind it at all, they just smiled and winked. Oh, father, breakfast is ready, she cried. One minute more, dear, her father answered. As Anna waited beside her father a little fairy began winding cords of roses around them. Around one, then the other, the fairy danced until Pessi¬ mist thought they would be helplessly entangled. But the cords didn’t seem to bind them, Neighbor worked on as before. His arm passed in and out in and out, till the Pessimist was quite dazed. “I could never do that,” said he. Lo his amazement, the chains did not hinder the child when she ran ahead to announce her father ' s coming. When the fairy beckoned him to follow the I essimist feared to follow lest lie should trample the roses. But he soon discovered that he. too, could walk on roses without harm to them — 42 — “Gee!” he said, “Am I really like others—or is it these blame glasses deceiving me? They passed into the kitchen. The family were already seated around the table. The little fairy was binding rosy wreathes around the different members—and even the baby did not seem to be fettered by them. Rosy smiles were on every face, and roses danced in the porridge. “Oh, they will be scalded—what a waste of roses. But they weren ' t. There was a clock on the wall and it ticked—and ticked. Each second was a rose on wings, which bowed and smiled, promising to waft back pleas¬ ant memories. And the fairy kept winding ropes of roses and dropping ruby smiles. “This is a chaos,” roared the Pessimist. “No, this is perfect order, replied the fairy. “I see the rosy path, but where is the Red Rose that causes all this. You promised that I should see it,” whined the Pessimist. “It isn ' t hard to find,” replied the fairy, “it’s everywhere. Some find it one place—some another—in the heart of a friend, a child, a sister—but always some one dear. Some find it quickly; many hunt weary days; a few wake up and find they ' ve had it always. Neighbor found it when the townspeople fixed up the church yard. He was tired too—had spaded ground all day—so the ladies might plant flowers.” “Oh, he found gold—no that can ' t be, for Neighbor is poor. cried Pessi¬ mist. “No, the Red Rose doesn ' t live in cold, dark, damp places, nor is it gold ' s companion.” “Oh, tell me, tell me! I can never guess. “Neighbor found the rose of happiness—the rose of love in a woman ' s heart,” replied this disappearing fairy. The Pessimist awoke—and wondered. — 43 The Whirlpool of Death Second Choice of the Judges (RUSSEL FOX.) This is a legend of Hawaii, not of the palm-treed pleasure grounds of to¬ day, not of the present “Paradise of the Pacific, but of the Olcl Hawaii, back before white men knew of its existence, back, the days when tribes were still savage, fighting continually among themselves. In Kahuliu Bay, on the Island of Maui, there is a whirlpool that is of great danger to the frail native craft of that vicinity, in so much as it appears only at irregular intervals and always in a different place. For years the natives have endeavored to calculate where its location would be when it next appear¬ ed, but never have they succeeded. And never has it failed, on each reappear¬ ance to draw some unfortunate creature down into its black, circling current, never to be seen again. It is for this reason tha t it is called the “Whirlpool of Death. One night there was a terrific storm in the Islands and a ship, China bound, was wrecked off the Bay. Next morning, hunting among the cast-up debris, Ma ' kui, an old fisherman, found a white child, half dead from exposure, lashed to a mast. He took him home, fed and clothed him, and kept him un¬ til the Rise of the new moon, when there was an assemblage of the warriors to decide the fate of this “W hite kid.” He would have been thrown into the volcano of Kolpu, had not Makui begged so hard and earnestly for his life that he was finally given into the keeping of the old man, with the understanding that he would be returned when fully grown to meet his fate. Under Makui’s guidance the boy grew strong and brave and wise in the art of warfare, until, when he was grown he could well hold his place in the native contests. The time for him to meet his fate came and went unheeded for the Maunians were engaged in a desperate struggle with a rival chief, Lalia, whose object was to conquer all the Islands. So great was the struggle that the fish deserted the surrounding seas which left the Islanders in a desperate condition, since their chief source of food had gone. Prisoners of war told of an abundance of food around Lalia’s island, but so terrible had his name become that none dared leave the island. Finally the boy, seeing the people dying of starvation all around him, set out in company with Makui to this island for food. They were fishing their first haul when Lalia discovered them. With a thundering yell he sprang in¬ to his skiff, intent upon capturing the intruders. The shout reached the ears of Makui and the boy, who, seeing their pur¬ suer, managed to get their boat quickly headed back for Makui. They both pulled frantically, but their boat was so heavily laden that Lalia steadily crept up. On, on, they pulled, with the strenght only possessed in extreme dan¬ ger. The hills of Makui showed plainly before them, even the seperate trees could be distinguished. And closer and closer crept Lalia! They had reach- 44 — ed the bay now, before them lay the shore and behind—Lalia! On the beach the natives ere already launching their surf-boats to come to the rescue. Closer and closer came the skiff until its bow was abreast of the stern of the other. Then, without a moment’s warning, Makui sprang from his seat, as the surprised Lalia, seizing him round the waist with a force that threw him to the bottom of the craft. Struggling desparately they rolled over and over, now clenched in a terriffic hold, now free for a fresh attack. Once, with a mighty effort, Lalia gained his feet and stood waiting for the old man to arise. And then nature interferred. In the vicinity of the boat the waters grew rough, and a gurgling sound arose, faint at first, but growing louder and loud¬ er, until, with an uncanny sounding groan, the waters separated and a dark hole lay before them. Closer the boat drifted to it, the circling waters urging it on, until it was spinning dizzily in the outer circles, ever drawing nearer and nearer to the gulping, groaning cavern in the middle. Faster and yet faster the water whirled and the boat, now spinning like a top, drew nearer and nearer, until the bow was actually out of the water, directly over the fun¬ nel-shaped water hole. Suddenly with a thundering gulp, the waters swallow¬ ed the skiff, pulling it down into the depths as if it were only a loose stick floating on the bay. A roar arose from where they had dissapeared, the waters came closer together, finally closing over, and all was still again. The force of the Old Man’s spring from the boy’s boat sent it skimming over the waves so swiftly that, try as he might, the boy could not head it back to the fight until it was too late and the only alternative was to paddle for the shore. When the Mauians, watching from the beach, saw the boy’s escape they took it as a good omen, thinking the Gods had purposely spared him. So they made him chief among them, for he who had escaped the “Whirlpool of Death’’ must surely be guided by divine Providence, and would therefore make a worthy ruler. Being rid of their enemy, peace was again restored in the Islands, where it still exists, although Lalia’s voice may still be heard on each reappearance of the Whirlpool, calling in vain the tribes to arm once more. — 45 — Lorenzo and Teacher (BEATRICE BARKER) Lorenzo possessed a large supply of freckl hair. Lorenzo was a fighter. In a word, he was ckles and a thatch of brick-red •as the pride of the smaller boys at Lowood School. But Lorenzo had a secret sorrow. He had pondered and brooded over it. He had even left his pumpkin pie at dinner with a morbid delight. Lorenzo was in love! He had discovered this some days ago. Teacher had appeared in a pink dress, now Lorenzo ' s favorite color, and as a result he now spent his days in the barn reading the “Duchess; or. Lord Cranford s True Love.” He pored over it afternoons and hid it cautiously at night. He saw himself as the handsome young Cranford, with a black mustache,. Ci course. Lorenzo even went so far as to magnanimously offer Teacher his im¬ mense fortune, now in government bonds and African diamonds. His dreams, however, were destined to be interrupted. He became con¬ scious of Eddy Coding ' s nasal voice. It increased in volume and insistence. Lorenzo scowled and carefully hid the treasured “Duchess” under the coal oil can. “What you want? he asked as Eddy entered whistling a tune, waver¬ ing between Yankee Doodle and Annie Laurie. The unwelcome visitor sat down. “I got some of Ma ' s ole root beer,” Eddy whispered importantly. He fearfully looked around as if he expected to see Mrs. Coding’s angular figure stride in and snatch away t he bottle. You want some?” Eddy held the bot¬ tle to his own mouth and took a lengthy sip. See here. he continued tempt¬ ingly, “you c ' n have down to here.” Taking a pin from his pocket he carefully traced a line around the center of the bottle “I don ' t want none,” Lorenzo replied, indifferently, but looking inter¬ estedly at the bottle the while. What, you don’t want none! Are you sic. ?” Eddy was incredulous, for Lorenzo was known to be the largest eater in the neighborhood. W ell, it just couldn’t be possible. He tried once more. “C’mon, Lorenzo. You know me. I’d just as lief have you take some.” Lorenzo became more interested, but he shook his head gloomily. Eddy took another pull at the bottle. “Um-m, he smacked his lips. Pleasure over, Eddy turned to business. “You know that Rube butcher boy,” he said sol¬ emnly, “he told Latty Smith that he could lick you with his little finger an’ lie ' s goin’ to do it to-morrow.” Shucks,” he spat on the floor contemptu¬ ously. Eddy started suddenly, “That’s Ma callin’ me I’m in for it. S’long.” He darted out of the door. Lorenzo returned to the Duchess, but it had lost interest. He picked up the root beer bottle and peered into the neck. Yes. it was all gone. He sighed deeply. The next morning at breakfast Lorenzo was very nervous. To begin — 46 — with, he spilt a portion of his steaming coffee on the parental lap. Lorenzo’s father, who was already irritated by the morning newspaper, became angrier and shouted unkind word s at Lorenzo. Lorenzo took advantage of his father ' s absence upstairs and slipped out to the barn There were two boxes on the rafters, one contained his snake, which he had bought from a snake charmer, and the other a white rabbit, which he intended presenting Teacher. Lorenzo took, a stick and poked the snake, which stirred lazily., He sighed, for the snake was certainly not as vicious as he would have desired. Absentmindedlv he picked up the box, however, and started off for school. When he finally entered the schoolroom, Lorenzo looked around cautious¬ ly and placed the box on Teacher ' s desk. He surveyed it admiringly from all angles and then tip-toed to his seat. Fatty Smith and Eddy, who had just come in, argued as to what the con¬ tents of the box might be. Fatty was in favor of a bird cage, but Eddy, who had been unsuccessful in his list last Christmas, was sure of its be ing an accordion. Lorenzo blushed as Teacher tripped into the room in the beloved pink dress. He had ventured other offerings, but never on so large a scale. Pleased and surprised Teacher smilingly opened the box. Out crawled the snake ! Lorenzo had taken the wrong box ! Two bright red spots glowed in Teacher’s cheeks. “Who brought that snake here? she cried sharply. Lorenzo raised his hand falteringly. Teacher restrained herself with difficulty. Go out in the hall and don’t you dare come back here to-morrow. Lorenzo marched proudly out into the hall and sat down on the first step. He took a lump of paraffine from his pocket and chewed it viciously. Gradually things began to brighten. Later in the afternoon when school let out Lorenzo beat the so far unvan¬ quished butcher’s boy to a “frazzle.” The butcher boy went down the street bellowing and Lorenzo, accompanied by the faithful Eddy, limped to his friend ' s house. They stealthily crept down the cellar steps. “Do vou think your Ma’d miss two of these lower bottles, Eddy? he whispered. — 47 — THE SHORE—IN THE WINTER TIME F irst Choice of the Judges RUSSEL FOX. The wind blows loud, the wind blows strong Over a sea of foam, Driving, the while, the gull along In search of a sheltered home. The rain is thick, the rain is cold, The wind is colder still. The Fog-King drops his mantel bold Over the low sand hill. The moaning waves dash on the sand, The sea-foam tosses high. The torrents fall upon the land Out of a leaden sky. The tossing waters seem to say, “Bring back the merry crowd, Back to our shores again to play, With their sports and their laughter loud.” Tho ' in Summer folks gather from miles around At the shore, for pleasure and clime, Yet a more dismal spot is yet to be found Than the shore-—in the Winter-time. “ The Land of Sunshine i (JESSIE GARNER). It was in the Land of Sunshine, the beautiful land of Hawaii, where the sun never sets, where the sweet wisteria ever blooms, where the birds always sing ami the palms gently sway in the soft sea-breeze. A land which is a happy dream—a land of continual summer. Here in a magnificent palace, surrounded by tall and magnificent palms, dwelt the beautiful Princess of the land,—Princess Eula. Her cheeks were pink as the coral of the sea, her hair like the radiant sunlight and her eyes as clear as the waters surrounding the little island. The Princess was as good as she was beautiful. Although she had beauty, wealth and all heart could desire, yet her one ambition was to help others and she devoted her life in an endeavor to give happiness to her less fortunate subjects. When the Princess reached the age of eighteen, the age when the proud parents first considered the question of marriage for their daughter, ardent suitors assembled from all corners of the globe, requesting the hand of the fair Princess. But Eula had a word of encouragement for none. Before each she appeared in all her splendor, but to each she spoke indifferently. Finally, her father said. Eula, the time has come for you to make your choice; choose wisely, for upon your choice depends your future happiness.” Still the Princess could not decide. At last she determined upon a plan. By a loud blast of the trumpet, the suitors again assembled in the gorgeous royal room of the palace before the majestic Princess Eula. She arose from the golden throne and a hush fell over all. Thus she spoke: Before me 1 see suitors from all over the earth, each of whom desires my hand. By accepting the offer of any of these, wealth and favor would be mine. Yet 1 hesitate. In this beautiful Land of Sun¬ shine, why should I live in perfect contentment while thousands suffer from unhappiness and want. Listen to what I tell you. Depart, each one from me, return in thirty days and he who’s able to tell me of one to whom he has given happiness, that one will I accept. The Princess waited in silence. Soon all but three of the company rose, and, with a hopeless expression, gave up the quest. But the remaining three arose with a new determination. Each gave to the Princess some token of his determination,—one, a ring, one a glove and one but a confident “aloha. The time passed slowly for the impatient Princess. Each day she would walk through the royal gardens, singing a sweet song. The birds themselves would cease their merry chatter at the sound, and the fair flowers of Hawaii would bow before her. Each day she would look again at the ring and the glove and hear again the brave “aloha. Thus the time passed. When the thirty days had elapsed, the sound of the trumpet again herald¬ ed the three faithful Pilgrims. The first to tell of his adventures was Prince Kehana, famed for his great ancestry and high rank. I travelled far, he 49 - . said, “in search of one to whom happiness might be given. Finally, in a dis¬ tant city I found a young girl who had beauty and wealth but who yet was unhappy because she could not become famous in her country on account of her low rank. With great difficulty and personal sacrifice, I was able to secure for her the title of duchess. W hen I departed, she said, Thank a ou, I am happy now.’ ” The Princess sighed but said nothing. The second of the three was Lono, a native famed throughout the isl¬ and for his immense wealth. “I, too, have travelled far, he said, but at the end of my journey I found a small, wretched village, the inhabitants of which lived in starvation and want. To these, fair Princess, I sacrificed half my wealth. When I departed they were gayly bedecked with jewels and their faces were radiantly happy.” Again the Princess sighed, but did not answer. The last to tell his story was famed neither for riches nor high rank, but was loved by all because of his kind and unselfish nature. He was called the “Happy One.” He said, “I did not travel far but found near by, a family made unhappy because of petty jealousies and selfish natures. I remained in that home many days endeavoring to help them in any possible way. I gave them neither wealth nor fame, but when I departed the greatest thing in the world,—the spirit of contentment, rested upon that home and it is today the most beautiful place in this, our “Land of Sunshine.” Then, at last, the Princess smiled and gave her hand to the “Happy One as token that he alone had given true happiness. And the birds ever sang and the palms ever swayed as they ruled together over the beautiful “Land of Sunshine.” Wreck of the Rosecrans As Related by an Eyewitness (BLANCHE YICELAND.) 4 Well, sir, you may have studied the dictionary and know that Pacific” means “Peace,” but I ' ve studied the seas and I know it ' s anything but that.” The old man puffed at his pipe and seemed lost in contemplation. Knowing that the sailor was thinking of some tale of the sea, I bided my time, hoping that lie would take me into his confidence. I surmised aright, and after a few minutes’ thought, the mariner told me the story of the Wreck of the Rose¬ crans.” It has been over two years since the wreck of the Associated Oil Com¬ pany ' s steamer “Rosecrans, the sailor commenced. Shortly after five o ' clock on the morning of January 7, 1913, and during the prevalence of a heavy gale with thick weather, the two thousand nine hundred seventy six ton vessel, bound from Monterey, California, to Portland, Oregon, stranded on Peacock Spit, at the entrance to the Columbia River. The first news of the wreck came by the wireless message that was sent asking for help. The shore operator answered, telling the Rosecrans oper¬ ator that help would be sent as soon as on answer was received informing them of their whereabouts. To this, the following message was received, ‘M ater has washed in cabin—can stay no longer—hel—! ' The Coast Guard crews were notified of the disaster, but could be given no definite information, for the Rosecrans whereabouts was unknown. The crew started at once to search for the ill-fated craft. It was not until 9:15 that information was received saying that the “Rosecrans had struck on Peacock Spit, at the mouth of the river. Now was the exciting time, for when the crew heard the name, “Peacock Spit” mentioned, they knew that it meant danger. “There was no time lost in starting for the scene and by noon they were nearing the vessel. On account of the fog and high seas that were running the “Rosecrans” could not be clearly seen. Later in the afternoon the fog lifted a little and now could be seen all that was left of the vessel; a mast sticking out of the briny deep, with three men clinging to her rigging. Here was the question. How was the crew going to get the three men to jump into the sea? On account of the boiling ocean they were unable to go very close and the only way to save them was for the men to jump and then be picked up out of the water. The Coast Guard boat Dread-Naught circled around the wreck and her crew waved frantically for the men to jump, but as was quite natural, they were unwilling to do it for fear of instant death upon the wreckage. It was not until the “Dread-Naught had capsized, throwing most of her occupants into the sea, righted herself and was manned again that the men in the rigging decided to jump. The faithful old boat was circling around the “Rosecrans for the third time when, one by one all three men jumped in¬ to the ocean and were immediately picked up by the Point Adams ( oast Guard Crew. — 51 — “The survivors were frightful looking, for their faces as well as their clothes were covered with crude oil, that had escaped from the opened tanks. Upon first sight it was very hard to tell whether or not they were white men. “As darkness was creeping on, a place of refuge must be reached. 1 he captain of the crew knew that it was an impossibility to make shore that eve¬ ning and realized that the only place of refuge was seven miles away. At once the “Dread-Naught” was headed for what was to be a “Haven of Rest of all of the men. As darkness grew near the waves seemed to toss higher and long before reaching their destination, they were completely alone, in the cold, black night, at the mercy of the waves, with hopes, that they might return in safety. Everyone was silent and feeling rather discouraged when a voice from forward shouted, “A light in the distance.” Now the sad hearts grew some¬ what joyful and before they could hardly realize where they were, the Coasf Guard boat drew up alongside of the Light Ship. “Now was another struggle of Life or Death, for as the side-hatch of the Light vessel as opened each man had to watch his chance to jump aboard for both boats were being tossed by the mad waves like toys. “As the last man jumped aboard, a sigh of relief was heard from all. Here they were safe and sound and must stay until the raging sea calmed. “On the third day the ocean calmed down enough so that the bar tugs could go near the Light Ship. On that day the Coast Guard Crew with the survivors were transferred to a tug and brought home, to the joy of many relatives and friends. “Yes,” the mariner concluded, “I think you will now agree with me, that the Pacific is certainly not peaceful. Experience has taught me that,—for I was one of the three survivors.” 52 THE SEA OF LIFE (ERSIE MATHEWS.) I sat alone on the Cape called “Disappointment” O’erlooking mighty Neptune’s vast expanse, And I pondered how ' twas unto Life’s ocean— Rocks and reefs appearing as the waves advance. The dashing surges wear away the shore lines Even as the years do, on that other Sea, ’Tis true that time and tide will wait for no man, Rather it seems they hasten on in spiteful glee. With glasses, I detected in the distance A white-winged ship gliding o’er the foam, And I wished, in spite of reefs that it encountered Man might as surely and as safely journey Home. The Girl and the Man (RUSSEL FOX.) The room was dark when the man entered it. Dark, totally so, but through the darkness there seemed to come an unexplainable feeling, a pre¬ monition of something not being as it should. Somewhere in the darkness there was a whirring sound, coming at quick, regular intervals and noise as if bats were flying loose. But the man appeared not to notice these. The air was heavy and laden with the scent of musty draperies. Faintly, thru the darkness, came the odor of perfume to his nostrils. Per¬ fume ! That meant the room was occupied, and by—a girl! The man felt along the wall until he found the switch. The next minute the room was ablaze with light. It was a large, well appointed place, with a small alcove adjoining it. In the center of the room a girl was sitting, gazing intently at a darkened place directly in front of her, from where this strange noise seemed to issue. Hearing a footstep, she turned her head slightly. “Oh,’’ she said in a voice strangely calm for one with such a troubled countenance as she had, I was afraid you ' d be too late.” And then he noticed that she was bound, hand and foot, to the chair in which she sat. He rushed to her, and. bending down, quickly loosened the ropes, and she stood up—free! “Strange, isn’t it,” he said, “how we meet this way, always when you have met with some foul play and are in need of a rescuer. The atmosphere, the very breath of this room, is familiar to me, and yet. he glanced about him, “I have never seen this place before.” Sh !” the girl cautioned, you are talking too much. Remember!” Truly he must have met her before. The perfume, the odor of the musty draperies, the clinking, ringing noise; all these he had experienced on some previous occasion, although the surroundings, the furniture of the room was indeed different. The dark, mysterious spot in the foreground was the one familiar figure. He gazed intently at it. and as he did so his features changed. Deep lines appeared around his stiffening mouth and his eyes narrowed until they were mere slits. With a mad dash he made directly for the darkened spot but stopped when he was within a yard of it, and, stretching his arms out before him, pawed the air frantically, as if trying to grasp some invisi ble object. The girl crouched in the back ground, fear written plainly on her face. As the man rushed forward she saw her chance, and made for the smaller room. 1 he clinking sound suddenly ceased, and with it the man ' s stran°e antics. Hut no sooner had she entered the alcove than the sound began anew, this time more pronounced than e er. 1 he man s features were once more com¬ posed as he moved to the entrance and placidly watched her. Perhaps he was thinking of the past meetings, of the feeling that he had performed this same feat time and again, but always in a different state than now. Perhaps he was a believer in the strange doctrine of reincarnation and was summoning to liis fe ered intellect some thread which would be a connecting link to the vague past. Calmly he watched her go from window to chair from chair to window, from fireplace to the table where she picked up a stiletto, half pro- trading from a closed book lying there. Calmly he watched her study the dagger closely, calmly he looked on while she extended her right arm, and with a sudden thrust, plunged it quickly at her breast! Even yet he made no move as she staggered blindly about the room. W as he mad, had his brain failed him, or was it merely an illusion of his mind? But why did he not aid her in escaping from the room? The girl came nearer the entrance. Turning suddenly she would have fallen, had the man not sprung forward and caught her in his arms. She opened her eyes and looked at him, then her head sank back and she breathed slower and slower. Carefully the man lowered her to the floor. Then for the first time, he gave away to grief, sobs shaking his whole frame while he bent over her prostrate form. The clinking noise stopped and a man stepped put of the dark spot. The intruder was a tall, rather corpulent fellow, who stood before them twisting his mustache. Finally he spoke. ‘‘Good work,” he said, “Good work! That is the hundred yards of “movie” film you’ve done this season.” Freshibus, takibus examinorum.

During the summer vacation of 1914 an addition was built on to the south side of the Eligh School building. In this addition an auditorium was fitted up with a seating capacity of eight hundred. The stage is large and affords plenty of space for any ordinary High School productions. The auditorium has been used as a study hall this year and several school benefits have been successfully produced in it showing the advantage of a private school stage for such work. The Community Sing given in the High School Auditorium was attend¬ ed by a large and enthusiastic audience. The program of m ' -sic and singing was very well rendered and well received. “Cinderella in Flowerland,” a play given by the McClure School, was one of the biggest events of the year. It was staged under the direction of Miss De Camp and some of the teachers of McClure’s School. The characters were well represented by the primary grade pupils of the school and the production was witnessed by over a thousand people. The biggest affair of the season was the play, “The First Lady of the Land, ’ which was given May 28th., in the High School Auditorium. This play was under the direction of Professor Clark and the characters Were rep¬ resented by High School Students. Several eminent speakers addressed the students this year. Among those were Airs. Parsons, Prof. Reddie, Mrs. Ellis, Mr. McClaren and Prof. Straub. Mrs. Parsons of the University of Oregon spoke on the advantages of college education. She gave an interesting talk on the buildings and teachers at the University of Oregon and how the “Oregon” students were friends of the laculty as well as being under their direction. She gave an interesting account of self supported college students with whom she was personally ac¬ quainted. Professor Reddie’s reproduction of the “Pied Piper of Hamlin, was very enthusiastically received by the students. Mr. Reddie is a noted elocu¬ tionist and he surely made a favorable impression on those who were fortu¬ nate enough to hear him. Mrs. Ellis, who was in the city lecturing at the Y. M. C. A., gave an interesting talk to the High School students. Mr. McClaien, who has been associated for many years with the state penitentiary, gave an interesting and instructive talk to the students. His subject was “Playing the Fool.’’ He cited cases where people became con- kts because they played the fool, and did not realize that they-were doing so. The Rosarian Quartet delighted the students with their rendition of sev¬ eral popular songs. Professor Straub addressed the High School and seventh and eighth grades of the city schools in the High School auditorium on May 20th. Pie spoke on “ 1 he Great American Question and its Answer.” Plis subject dealt with the benefits derived from education in actual dollars and cents. Mr. Straub speaks from experience for he has been associated with the University of Oregon for thirty-five or more years. His talk delighted his hearers and inspired them with a liking for both the expounder and his subject. We all hope to have the pleasure of hearing Professor Straub talk again. The Juvenile Industrial Fair of 1914 was successfully managed and car¬ ried out by the Students of the High School. This was the second time that the fair has been entirely under the supervision of the school. It has proved very successful and will probably be managed the same way next year. The Juvenile Fair is becoming a greater attraction each year. It inspires school- children to work and strive to out do one another. The fair of 1914 showed an advance in exhibits over the one of the previous year. Idle High School is proud of the showing made by our football boys, The team of the 1914 season finished with only two defeats. This is certainly a fine record considering the size of the schools with which they competed. Football is the main source of school spirit. No other athletic sport calls forth such hearty cheers and nothing so excites a rooter as the sight of one of his school tearing down the field for a touchdown. (fur basket ball team proved its ability by winning the Silver plate offer¬ ed to the championship team of the city. The players certainly deserved the letters they received for their season’s work. One of the enjoyable affairs of the year was the trip to Clatskanie by our basket ball team accompanied by about sixty enthusiastic supporters. The trip was made on the launch Louise 2. Every one enjoyed the trip and the game too. As usual, our boys took the game out of reach of the Claskanie five and so another victory was added to their list. During the month of December the Chemistry class was turned into one of merry festivity, The occasion was in honor of Mr. Id. Clark whose engage¬ ment was discovered. The Chemistry students appeared armed with a Christmas tree and congratulatory messages for Mr. Clark. He was taken by surprise, as he thought the fact of his engagement was a secret. The tin shower was a great success and the class hopes Mrs. Clark likes tin utensils. — 63 — THE ALFREDIAN SOCIETY AlfrrMan Swirty Nnlrs (OSMO M A XU LA. ) June, 1915, marks the close of a very successful year for the Alfredians. The Society has been pleased to welcome many new members, all of whom seem competent to benefit the Society. The officers of the Alfredian Society for the first semester were ably fill¬ ed by the following: President—Joe Anderson. Secretary—Grace Hammarstrom. Treasurer—Elizabeth Moore. Critic—Peter Tsigris. Sergeant-at-Arms—Urban Duncan. Editor—Lydia Kaboth. The Society was well represented in intersociety debate and through the efforts of Charles Gratke and Peter Tsigris succeeded in defeating the Adel- phians by a two-to-one decision. Not only in debate but also in Track. Basket Ball and Football the Society has been well represented. We are proud to claim Capt. Planting, Anderson, Gittere, Duncan and Manilla among our members. The Alfredians convened February the fifteenth for the purpose of elect¬ ing officers for the ensuing semester. The following were elected: President, Joe Anderson; Vice President. Lydia Kaboth; Secretary, Grace Hammar¬ strom; Treasurer. Nell Larsen; Critic, Evelyn Gordon; Sergeant-at-Arms, Lena Bartlett: Editor, Osmo Manilla. — 67 — THE WAUREGAN SOCIETY Haumiau Swirly Notts (ELIZABETH HART). First Semester President, William Sigurdson; Vice President, John Reith; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Spande. On October 9th, the various societies held their first meetings for the semester. Our President gave a short inaugural address, stating the purpose of the society, and asking the co-operation of the members in keeping it and all of its activities up to the usual standard. Upon hearing of the death of bum Chack, who was a faithful member of the society, we decided to send a floral tribute, in the name of the Wauregans. Benjamin Fairhurst and Elizabeth Hart were chosen to represent the Wauregans in the first debate of the series, which was held on December 18th. The Wauregan team won, defeating the Forum representatives, Agnes Carl¬ son and Ethel Jacobson, by a vovte of two to one. The former maintained that the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Islands.” The society as also well represented in the interscholastic debates, both William Sigurdson and Ruth Spande being auregans. In athletics, too. our members have taken prominent part. Raleigh Stine, Benny Burns, Max Riley, Joe Dyer, Horace Trotter, and Fred Erick¬ son were important factors in football, while Raleigh Stine, .Max Rile} ' , Dolph Hardesty, and Benny Burns took part in basket-ball. Second Semester. President, Ben Fairhurst; Vice President, John Elliot; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Spande. Because our President moved away, soon after the term began, our Vice President has presided at all meetings in a very able manner. Extempora¬ neous speeches have been an important factor in our society programs, this semester. They have helped to lengthen them, and also make them very interesting, also giving a personal benefit to each member who took part. This year, as usual, we were among the first to give our annual picnic. It was the first to be given this spring under the auspices of any class or societv of the High School. We went to Young ' s River Falls, and everybody had a pleasant time. There we enjoyed the falls, our lunch, and some, the fishing. e also enjoyed the singing of the boys while on board the boat. We will try to live up to our high standard as Wauregans in the future, as in the past, and will always remember that: “()nce a Wauregan, always a auregan. 59 — THE FORUM SOCIETY ifarnm ISwirty (By CLAUDIA MALARKEY.) “Were Forum and foremost. ' Tis a short but significant saying in which, we truly believe, the truest sentiments of the society are aptly ex¬ pressed. The society met for the first time this year in Miss Pritchett’s room on November sixth. Fifteen new members responded to the roll call. To these we extended a most sincere welcome. President Logan delivered a very splen¬ did address in which he urged the society to work diligently and in unison in an effort to make the Forum the leading society in the school. The executive staff for the first term was composed of the following: President, Lorens Logan ; Vice President, Claudia Malarkey; Secretary, Marie Anderson ; Treas¬ urer, Grace O’Donnel; Editor, Marie Anderson ; Sergeant-at-Arms, Fred Keat¬ ing; Girl’s Basket Ball Manager, Hazel Pinnel. The teachers assigned to the society for the first term were Miss Pritchett and Mr. Kadinger. Mr. Kadinger was unanimously elected Critic. His valuable suggestions and will¬ ingness to work greatly aided the society in attaining even a higher tsandard than it had preciously held. On December fourth the Forums met in their regular society room and at this meeting the office of Parliamentarian was established. Claudia Ma- larkey was elected to the office. At this meeting, also, prospective society songs were submitted to the society. Jessie Garner ' s composition was en¬ thusiastically accepted as the permanent society song. On February nineteenth the Forums met for the first time during the sec¬ ond semester in Miss Pritchett’s room. The officers for this semester were: President, Raoul Carlson; Secretary, Grace O’Donnel; Treasurer, Blanche Wicklund; Sergeant-at-Arms, Lorens Logan; Critic, Miss Pritchett. On re¬ assembling for the first time this term we learned to our regret that owing to the absence of two teachers who were members of the Adelphian Society, our Principal felt it necessary to replace them in that society by Mr. Kadinger, thereby removing him from the Forum. We congratulate the Adelphians. Mr. Eddy replaced Mr. Kadinger as a Forumite and the society feels for¬ tunate in securing him as a member. At our February session a number of new members were welcomed, who ably addressed the society with short, but creditable speeches. Judging from these, their first oratorical efforts in High School (for they were Freshies) the society will, in time, develope brilliant speakers, whose influence will—we feel confident—win for the Forumites un¬ excelled prestige. One of our alumni of who we are justly proud is Stanley P. Young, ' 07, who has recently been appointed assistant instructor in geology at the Uni¬ versity of Michigan. THE ADELPHIAN SOCIETY (HELEN DAHLGREX.) The first semester of the Adelphian Society began with a strong executive staff, which consisted of the following members: President, Ragnor Johnson ; Vice President, Sverre Halson; Secretary, Helen Dahlgren; Treasurer, Janet Reed; Critic, Miss Bangsund; Sergeant-at-Arms, Roy Enberg; Editor, Annie Nelson; Program committee: Chairman, Ragnor Johnson, Elsie Nielson, George Backlund. The programs of this year, both literary and musical, have proved very interesting, thru the combined efforts of the teacher and program committees. At the first meeting of both semesters in addition to the program, a wel¬ come was extended the Freshmen, who compose a large member of the So¬ ciety, and to Miss De Camp, who was voted in as an honorary member. Upon the discussion of Basket Ball by the President, Stuart Guenther was elected manager of the boy’s team, Ellen V ilson of the girls and Annie Nelson, captain. Officers for the second semester are: President, Edward Finney; Vice President, Ellen Wilson; Secretary, Myrtle Linville: Treasurer, Martha Jackson; Editor. Helen Dahlgren; Ser¬ geant-at-Arms. Harvey Staples: Critic, Miss Bergman. « 6 — Affirmative Team—Wm. Sigurdson, Eva Bower; Negative Team—Ruth Spande, Sverre Halsan. DEBATE NOTES (SVERRE HALSAN AND EVA BOWER) In the latter part of the first semester of the year the Student Body of the Astoria High School decided by unanimous vote that the name of the local school should be entered as a member of the state debating league. The following students were selected to represent the High School in the contests: Affirmative team—Eva Bower, William Sigurdson; Negative team—Ruth Spande, Sverre Halsan. Though late in beginning debate work, the High School made a very cred¬ itable showing, winning the championship of the Lower Columbia River Dis¬ trict, but later was defeated by Prineville, representing the Upper Columbia District. The High School team was fortunate in having Prof. P. T. Kadinger as coach, who rendered invaluable assistance to the debators. The question adopted by the State Debating League for 1915 and which was discussed in all the debate contests was: ‘‘Resolved, that the United States should own and operate all inter-state railroads acting as common carriers, including intra-state lines competing with them, constitutionality waived. INTER-SOCIETY DEBATES (By AGNES CARLSON). The intersociety debates, held in the new auditorium of the school, created a spirit of enthusiasm among the students. The subject debated was one of the most vital problems before the American people today: “Resolved, that the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Islands. Forum-Wauregan Debate. The debate between the Forums and the Wauregans was held on the morning of December 18th. The subject debated was: Resolved, that the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Islands.” The Wau- regan team, consisting of Benjamin Fairlmrst and Elizabeth Hart, supported the affirmative, while the Forum team, consisting of Agnes Carlson and Ethel Jacobsen, upheld the negative side of the question. The judges of the debate were Mr. Stone, Mr. Imel, and Mr. Clark. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Adelphian-Alfredian Debate. The next debate of the series was the Adelphian-Alfredian debate held on the morning of December 23d. The Philippine question was again debated. The Adelphina team, which supported the affirmative, was composed of Dale Howard and Ellen ilson; the Alfredian team, supporting the negative side, was composed of Peter Tsigris and Charles Gratke. The decision of this debate was two to one in favor of the negative. — 75 INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATES SCAPPOOSE HIGH SCHOOL VERSUS ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The debating season for the Astoria High School opened under the aus¬ pices of the State Debating League with the Astoria-Scappoose debate on the evening of January 15th. At Astoria, Kathleen Tolly and aides White, the negative team of Scappoose, met Eva P ower and William Sigurdson, Astoria’s affirmative team. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Mayor F. J. Johnson acted as chairman of the evening. The judges of the debate were J. Q. A. Bowlby, E. E. Grey, and C. W. Mullins. The debate was held in the new High School auditorium and was well attended. Among other features of the program rendered was a piano solo by Doris Hoefler, a vocal solo by Mrs. Flavel, and a song by the High School Quartet. A debate took place at Scappoose on the same evening, where Scap- poose ' s affirmative team, Leon Logan and Helen Watts, lost by a unanimous decision to Astoria’s negative, upheld by Ruth Spande and Sverre Halsan. Besides the debate a much enjoyed musical program was rendered with a good crowd in attendance. The chairman of the meeting was Mr. V ascher, of Scappoose. The following acted as judges: Charles Barnes, of Portland; Mr. Pomeroy, of Scappoose; and Judge Dillard, of St. Helens. Immediately after the contest a supper was given in honor of the debaters. v 5 V s GRESHAM HIGH SCHOOL VERSUS ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL. The second intra-state debate, which gave Astoria the championship of the Lower Columbia District, was held on February 12th. The contest in Astoria between Gresham’s negative, upheld by Ellen De Haven and Frank Rogers, and Astoria ' s affirmative team, Eva Bower and William Sigurdson, resulted in a victory for the latter by a two-to-one deci¬ sion. A musical program was rendered in connection with the contest by Edith Davies, Doris Hoefler, and Miss deCamp. E. E. Grey acted as chair¬ man. The judges were Prof. Robert E. French, of Portland; Prof. K. W. Branstator, of Seaside, and J. Q. A. Bowlby, of Astoria. Astoria’s negative team, Ruth Spande and Sverre Halsan, journeyed on the same day to Gresham. Here Astoria’s team secured a unanimous decision over Gresham’s affirmative team, consisting of Margurite Yolbretch and Mabel Shipley. The acting chairman of the meeting was W. R. Lyman, who commended the teams for their excellent forensic work. A piano solo was given by Miss Bernice Hargrove, while a duet was ably rendered by the Misses Anna Brugger and Violet Dinger. A reception was given after the contest at the home of Mr. K. Thompson, which was much enjoyed bv all present. The judges of the debate were: C. G. Thompson, Principal of Col- lege Preparatory Course, Central Y. M. C. A.; and Attorneys R. F. Peters and William F. LaForce, all of Portland. CROOK COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL VERSUS ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL Py winning the championship of the Lower Columbia River District the Astoria High School became eligible to enter the inter-state district contests. The first of these debates tooF place in Astoria on March 15th between Astoria High School and Crook County High School, of Prineville, the latter team being the winner of the Upper Columbia District. Astoria’s affirmative, upheld by William Sigurdson and Sverre Halsan, were defeated by Prineville ' s negative team. Stacy Smith and Fred Rice. This was a very spirited contest, resulting in a unanimous victory for the visitors. A musical program was rendered and selections were given by Alice Wherity, Prof. Clark and the High School Quartet. ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Astoria 0 Lincoln 6 Astoria 6 Jefferson 0 Astoria 41 Hill Military Academy 0 Astoria 20 Newberg 0 Astoria 6 Vancouver 26 Astoria 41 Pacific College 6 Astoria 9 Astoria Athletic Club 0 The Dalles (Game cancelled by the Dalles High School.) Astoria High School opened her football schedule in 1914 by playim first game with Lincoln High School on the Multnomah field at Portland on October 3. Astoria was not developed into a working machine on this date, because many of the men had not been back to school on the opening, and consequently efficient practice was not possible until some of the mainstays of the team had returned. Burns, Moad, Backlund, and Willikson were late in getting back for practice. We played this game against a team who out¬ weighed us ten pounds to the man. We had only a few signals that could be used with any degree of accuracy. Lincoln had a team of veterans who had — 79 — been drilled one month before the Astoria game. Nevertheless, Astoria put up a hard fight all through the game. The game was a rush from the begin¬ ning to the end, with Astoria being the most consistent in ground gaining, and out-playing her opponents in every strategic moment where generalship and real power was to be encountered. Astoria had little difficulty in solving Lincoln ' s plays. In fact, the A. H. S. squad nipped many of the Portland team ' s plays in the bud and only twice in the game was Lincoln successful in completing her forward passes. Astoria kept the ball in Lincoln ' s territory throughout the first half, and in the sec¬ ond half our team repeatedly threatened the Portlanders’ goal; but Portland managed to punt out of danger. It was only by a fluke, followed by a penalty of fifteen yards against Astoria that the ball was brought to our three-yard line. At this moment our captain, Planting, was injured, and this being the fourth time in which our eleven had taken time out we again were penalized two yards, which placed the ball on our one-yard line. First down, one yard to go; line bucks, which took three of the buckram plunges before Lincoln placed the pigskin back of our goal. This was a trying moment for our team. It was also trying for our opponents. Lincoln failed to kick goal. In the last quarter Astoria rushed the ball to Lincoln’s twenty-yard line and with at¬ tempted punts at critical moments we failed to tie the score. Backlund, Burns, and Captain Planting far surpassed the men of Lin¬ coln’s team. Our next contest was with Jefferson High—an easy victory and the game was ours all through. Although we w on by a score of six to nothing, two of the touchdowns which we made were not allowed. We kept the Teffersonians guessing all the time; intricate plays, fake bucks, and deep end runs. We made yardage consistently against the Jefferson team. That team had beaten Lincoln thirteen to nothing, thus we see that Astoria had rapidlv gained her former strength and consistency on the gridiron. The game was very success¬ ful and thoroughly appreciated by all spectators. The onlv lamentable fact associated with this game was that Backlund sprained his ankle and eliminat¬ ed his participation in games the remaining portion of the season. Backlund in one of the best fullbacks in interscholastic football; quick in solving plays and a pillar of strength in downing his man before the play hits the scrimmage line. The team, the student body, the faculty, and the townspeople all felt the loss of this stalwart player. The game with Hill Military Academy was merely a one-sided contest. They were not disciplined in the finer points of the game and could not inter¬ est our boys m the execution or technicalities of superior playing. Our line was a stone wall and the exhibition of interference was far superior to that of any other game which had been witnessed on the AFC field Many of the second team were used in the second half, and still Astoria continued to score The playing of Coach Rodger’s proteges was a treat thoroughly enjoy- ed. Burns goal kicking was a feature and needless to say he had many chances, failing in but one attempt at booting the pigskin over the bar. Newbeig High School teamed over to Astoria and met a decisive defeat Astoria gathered them into her game sack and added another wreath to her already gathered laurels. Newberg had a very strong man in Russel Astor¬ ia s backs were a feature and did work short of the stellar kind — 80 — Throughout a season every team must take a bump. Astoria bumped at Vancouver on Saturday, November 6. We have little to say in defense of ourselves in this game, merely to mention that whenever Astoria made con¬ sistent gains we found officials who were equally consistent in penalizing. It is a question in the minds of the team how Astoria ever succeeded in placing the pigskin back of Vancouver’s goal with such repetition of penalties throughout this game. McMullen and Terrill were strong men on the Van¬ couver team, while Planting and J. Anderson were pillars of strength and re¬ deeming features on the local team. Our boys felt the defeat of the Vancouver game and redeemed them¬ selves bv taking the Pacific College into camp. In this game our boys were outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, and by the interception of a forward pass a Pacific College fast half back made their only score. Astoria used open plays, deep end runs, making touchdowns repeatedly. Subs were used freely for Coach Rodger ' s mainstays in the team. Our season’s schedule was completed with the game ' on Thanksgiving day, when the Astoria Athletic Club team met us royally. The A. A. Club team was made up of veterans, and regular war horses,’’ but due to the fleet¬ ness of the High School team, we were able to overcome the weight and break up tiie numerous formations the A. A. Club had in store. This game was a spirited contest and the A. A. Club team was anxious to show the High School team from their former-day experiences, while the A. Id. S. team insisted that new methods must be used if the contest was to be decided by machine oper¬ ations and keener strategy. The lineup of A. A. C. team: G. Larson, Cosovich, Gramms, Brown, Ek- strom, Rowland, McConnon, Langhart, Terry, Schwarz, Wessley, Berry. Geo. Backlund was able to play in the last game of the season, having partly re¬ gained the strength of the ligaments in his ankle. We sincerely hope the A. A. Club will be ever ready to put on a closing season game with the High School team, for it unites the fellows on both teams after a hard season, and makes the game a delight, for friendliness and manly acts with good hard encounter brings the athletes into quiescent con¬ dition. One lamentable condition of the season, which we feel reluctant in com¬ menting upon, due to the seriousness of the deed, was the proposed Dalles game. The Dalles had expressed a desire to meet Astoria High on Dec. 3rd, as a fixed date to determine the State Championship, and upon that date The Dalles refused to play Astoria, unless the latter’s team would journey to The Dalles. This seemed very unsportsmanlike because arrangements had been made to hold the contest in Astoria and our student-body and patrons were anxiously awating the oncoming game. A disputed honor is not thoroughly enjoyed, yet Astoria and The Dalles have the final game to play. As a fitting climax to a successful season, the team assembled one evening and of a group of seventeen lettered men selected Geo. Backlund as Captain for the season of 1915. We anticipate a very successful season under Capt. Backlund ' s leadership. J. Anderson was elected manager and has already arranged a prospective schedule for the season. A. H. S. Lineup and Subs.

Anderson (Fullback), Backlund out on account of ankle being sprained. io try m a short space to adequately present the individual players of Astoria High Schools 1914 team would be impossible. 1 he backfield positions this year were held by Burns at quarter, Erick¬ son at left-half, Riley at right-half, and J. Anderson at fullback. This com¬ bination, though very light, was fast and aggressive. At quarterback Burns was steady, passed the ball well, and returned punts splendidly. Erickson and Rl, ey at halfback positions carried the ball with speed, keeping their feet well and fighting for every inch of ground possible to gain. In the op en ' eld game there are not two superior backfield men in the state. If anv criticism were offered here at all, it would bear on the point of inability to interfere equally as well as carry the ball. For this kind of work their lack ot weight is the great handicap. But even here the late season games show¬ ed great improvement. As to J. Anderson ' s playing, little need be said here. e never was a star, but always a great player, consistent, steady on of¬ fense and a very fleety player. This season rounded out for Toe a ' verv sa¬ tisfactory record. J . , , At e . ndS ’ Dyer and Trotter did some excellent work. At helping the T l r S t Vr eXC T i0nally able ’ tl,e y are strong men and charge well lo break interference they hit hard and did not fear to go under the bunch if ,t could be blocked no otherway. Their speed under punts was a valuable factor tn check,ng deep returns by the opposing teams. Trotter was “reat on recemng forward passes, making sqme very excellent grabs and gettino- onsiderable yardage combined with the pass. Dyer is muscular and very flee has the agility of a deer, being his first real effort in football we predict for him a big future in the game. Astoria’s line this year was not surpassed on the gridiron in i w , ‘ CelUer , CaPt ' ,T ' a ' ,ting dM himsdf P roud - He made not a single ' poor long P ass during the season for punts or field kicks Thi ■ , record. On defense Rudy is a pillar, he plunges in and b e V ren “ rfc ble coming his way. No doubt he was the equal! if „ 0 , the superioTofa ; cem — 82 — ter in the state. e believe Planting will by trying for tackle next year, as the experience obtained here at different times this season has made his football heart ache for more tackling behind the scrimmage line. At guards, we had various men who successfully filled the positions, and in truly learning the game guard position is the right place. This posi¬ tion is a trip-hammer, eliminating thought of self and teaching the neces¬ sity of going under and cause congestion to line plunges. Tucker and Mer- rila had a trifle the advantage of the other guards in so far as being able to take punishment. Tucker is a new man, but a coming one. He is equal in speed to any man on his team and should be able next year to play tackle, end or backfield. We predict for Tucker a brilliant football future. Stine and Lee held the tackle jobs and they HELD them, breaking through their opponents often and tackling the runner behind his own line. Blocking punts was a feature of their playing, for they are both wide awake, fast, strong, and terrific fighters. Clyde has caused many teams to fear him, because of his repeated heavy downing. Stine has his characterictic smile and in the contests he did impress his opponent with friendliness, but never showed this when the bump was received. Stine ' s stiff arm tactics need more strenuous, forceful exercise. The boy has a nose for the ball and in¬ stinctively he knows when to expect the play. A student of the game from the line position. We could continue to reiterate the numerous men who played on the team this year, and in so far as they will all be competing for regular posi¬ tions next fall, we prefer to just simply mention that Moad, Manula, Urell, G. Anderson and Ross are men of considerable ability and made of good steel. We know competition will be keener for positions on our team be¬ cause of these men who were fast securing regular places before the season closed last fall. — 83 f ( i t JS. pr. 1 TRACK (JOE ANDERSON). A e are right in the midst of track season and the prospects for our team were never better. Although the team which was sent to the Columbia Indoor [Tack Meet did not take any points, they took many places in the heats. The reason for not being able to place was due to the fact that our training started late. Our team is now training hard in hopes of making a showing at the nterscholastic Track Meet at Eugene and with such men as Burns Tucker Anderson, Johnsin, Gittre and Lee in training the chances for success are very encouraging. J Prof. P. T. Kadinger, an athlete who has won renown in the east has charge of the track team. — 84 — BASKET BALL (By Joe Anderson.) The Basket Ball Season was started off with a rush and under the coach¬ ing of Prof. P. T. Kadinger the A. H. S. Team made an enviable reputation. In winning the Shield, which was the trophy for the champion team of the City Basket Ball League, the A. II. S. Team showed their mettel and the effects of their good coaching. In playing against teams of much greater weight and experience the team showed the old time fighting and spirit by which Astoria has always upheld her reputation. A. H. S. lost one of nine games played in the league. The results of the games are as follows. A. H. S. 20—H. L. C 17 A. H. S. 31—C. C. 18 A. H. S. 29—A. A. C. 21 A. H. S. 29—H. L. C. 10 A. II. S. 23—C. C. 12 A. H. S. 20—A. A. C. 32 A. H. S. 27—H. L. C. 13 A. H. S. Forfeited A. H. S. 15—A. A. C. 9 Throughout the games of the City B .B. League, Burns and Ed. W ' illik- son starred. The steady playing of Capt. Stine, Backlund, Riley, Duncan, Hardesty and Tom W’illikson kept the team well balanced. The Interscholastic Games . Of the six games played with other high schools. Astoria won two and lost four. Considering the fact that the two games were won away from home, the playing of the quintet is commendable. Clats ' kanine 13—A. H. S. 32. Astoria journeyed to Clatskanine and defeated that team by the score of 32-13. Burns and Ed. W’illikson starred. — 85 Salem H. S. 33—Astoria H. S. 19. Salem defeated Astoria in a hard fought game winning by their superior team work. Burns and Backlund Starred. The Valley Trip. The A. H. S. Quintet journeyed to the Willamette Valley towns and play¬ ed a series of four games, winning one. The following made the trip: Burns, Ed. Willikson, Capt. Stine, Riley, Backlund, and Hardesty. Salem H. S. 48—Astoria H. S. 16. Salem again defeated Astoria, playing a fast hard game; and winning by their superior team work. Mt. Angel College 21—Astoria H. S. 19. M. A. C. defeated A. H. S. but the final score was always in doubt. As¬ toria played the stronger game, but due to an injury Capt. Stine, at center, was forced to leave the game. The score at that time being 9-11. Riley sub¬ stituted for Stine and played an excellent game. Silverton H. S. 16—Astoria H. S. 18. Astoria finally found her stride and defeated S. H. S. in a hard fought contest. Extra time was necessary to play off the tie, Astoria winning. Riley and Backlund starred. Newberg H. S. 39—Astoria H. S. 18. Newberg defeated Astoria, but the score was close throughout the game. Due to an injury, Capt. Stine did not play. The following men received letters for their services: Burns, Ed. Willik¬ son, Riley, Hardesty, Backlund, and Stine. Hardesty was chosen Captain for next year’s team and Joe Dver was the unanimous choice for Manager. — 86 — Commercial Department By FLORENCE REED. The Commercial room is very large and comfortable, fitted out with desks for Stenography, and the large bookkeeping desks. Our typewriters, ten in number, are of the best made, being the Remington and Underwood. The pupils are taught the “Touch System” and become accurate and efficient writers. The Commercial course has steadily gained in popularity, every seat in the room being occupied at present. Three years is the length of time re¬ quired for this course, and good positions are awaiting those who graduate. It was with regret that we saw our teacher, Miss Maginnis, depart for O. A. C. to take up her new position as instructor in the commercial depart¬ ment. A party was given in her honor January 19, at the A. O. U. V. hall, about fifty students being present. The place she left, however, is capably filled by our new instructor, Mr. Eddy, who has taken up his new duties with great enthusiasm. V e also have a Gregg Shorthand Club composed of any one who has tak¬ en shorthand in High School. This club is of a social nature, and meets once a month at the homes of the respective members. The officers for this year are: President, Lois Chisholm; Vice-President, Lvnette Svenson ; Secretary, Florence Reed; Treasurer, Janet Reed; Sergeant-at-Arms, Chester McGregor - 88 — DOMESTIC SCIENCE (ALICE WILSON.) “Um-m! Mv but it smells good! “What are you making? “When will it be done? These are some of the expressions heard at the top of the stairs during the second and third periods of the mornings when the odors from the doughnuts, cookies and the other good things make their way from the Domestic Science room. There are the most longing looks on the faces of the students as they stand at the top of the stairs anxiously waiting for the doors to open and for the girls from the class in cookery to come out, in hope that they will be given some of the most delicious things that the class has made. Under Miss Moorehouse ' s supervision this department has had a most wonderful improvement. It is the busiest and most prosperous part of our school work. During the past years the cooking laboratory and the sewing room have been enlarged in order to accommodate all those who desire to take the course. It has taken a strong hold both in the High School and the grade schools of the city. Cooking is not the only part of the course, although nearly everyone is more eager for it than sewing. As for our sewing most of us fear to show it to those at home for fear we will be expected to take the place of the family seamstress. Two days a week we are taught the different food principles and food composition. We are given advice as to the care and management of the cooking laboratory and the serving of the most delicious recipes we have made. The other three days we have laboratory work and these are the times when the appetizing odors make their way to the upper hall, causing the boys’ mouths to water as they stand hungry eyed waiting for a handout from the kind-hearted cooks. Occasionally these appetizing odors arise in the afternoon and then there are even more students wondering who can be cooking, because, until recent¬ ly, there have been no classes in Domestic Science in the afternoon. During the past years the grammar grades have taken no part in cooking, sewing be¬ ing the only part of the course that could be obtained. This last term the grammar grades have been fortunate enough to be able to come to the High School for one lesson out of four and receive the most valuable instruction from Miss Moorehouse. - 89 — ALUMNI NOTES (PEREIDA BALL.) Since 1893, when the first class graduated from our Eligh School, two hundred and fifty four pupils have completed the course. This year about twenty will receive diplomas. Our alumni are well represented in the various educational institutions of the state. Those attending the University of Oregon are: Betsey Wootton ’09, Fred Hardesty ’ll, Wilmot Foster ’ll, Dorothy Dunbar T4, Wallace Eakin ’12, Virginia Peterson T2, Donald Roberts 44, and Dewitt Gilbert ’14. Ira Gaston 11 and Anson G. Allen ' ll are attending the University of Oregon Medical School in Portland. Alfred Anderson ’13 and John Finney 44 are studying at the Oregon Agricultural College. Hazel Davies 41 is at Pacific University and Jennie Bangsund ' 14 at Reed Institute in Portland. As well as those in Oregon schools there are many in other schools. At¬ tending the University of Washington are Myrtle Harrison 41, Caroline Waterhouse 43, Sherman Mitchell 44, Elva Staples 44, Edward Beard 44. Mary A ard 12 is attending Washington Agricultural College and Kate Barry 42 the Bellingham Normal School. Dorothy Epping la and Jack Smith 13 are at the University of Califor¬ nia at Berkeley, George Kaboth 44 at Stanford, and Dea Imel 44 at the Cali¬ fornia Normal. Lenore McGregor 43 is studying at Dana Hall, and Georgiana Garner ' 14 at the University of Wisconsin. During the past year, several of our alumni have entered the field of matrimony. Among these are Mrs. G. T. McClean (nee Mary Eakin). Mrs. S. Young (nee Josephine Bangsund), Mrs. Fred Noe (nee Margaruite Trot¬ ter), and Mrs. Charles Robinson (nee Birdie Wise). During the summer of 1914 two large commodious rooms were furnished for the Manual Training department and there the work began this year. The machinery which the Zephyrus of 1914 promised has not been seen as yet. but the interest in the work has not lagged and the department has a large num¬ ber of products to display, the results of hard work since September. At the Juvenile Fair most of the work exhibited won prizes and although the showing was not large, better work would be hard to find. A set of four side chairs, two armchairs and a small table have been sent to the Panama- Pacific Exposition as examples of the manual training work done in this school. The makers of this set were Osmo Manilla,Waino Stonelake, Jesse Bowers, Marston Hussong, Raymond Gittere, Clyde Lee, John Reith, Dolph Hardesty, and John Erickson. Two fine tables were also presented to the Y. M. C. A. to be used in their new building. Although Manual Training implies work with the hands,—hammers, saws, chisels, sand-paper, glue, and varnish must be used, mixed with brains, to make the work effective. Necktie racks, Morris chairs, settees, library tables, book cases, piano benches and other articles of a similar nature show the practical and useful turns of the study, while such articles as cedar chests, shaving stands, boats, and med¬ ical chests point out some of the ambitions and hoped-for occupations and professions of the wood-wrking boys. State Superintendent Churchill, Chancellor Campbell, Mayor Johnson of this city, and other distinguished gentlemen have visited our department and admired our creations. Judging from the remarks which they made, there is little doubt but that the Manual Training department of the Astoria High School ranks among the best in the State. Much credit is due our instructor, Prof. E. M. Hussong, for the interest he has taken in the department. It is through his advice and assistance that the articles of furniture made in the department have reached their high stan¬ dard. There is no doubt that the Manual Training students thoroughly ap¬ preciate his help during the past year. Principal (resigned) . Principal (unexpired term) . Instructor in Mathematics.

We are taught also, that in order to insure the prosper¬ ity of all, it is necessary to PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY, since each industry employes its quota of workmen—citizens—who buy their necessities, not to mention luxuries, in the city that affords them employment and a fair compensation for their efforts. If this rule is true from the merchants’ viewpoint it must be equally true from the viewpoint of any other business man.

PUBLISHING COMPANY PRINTERS ♦ PUBLISHERS BOOK BINDERS CORNER TENTH AND DUANE STREETS, ASTORIA, OREGON Shears Savvbuck. The dry goods merchant would have equally well-grounded reasons for hostility toward the grocer, should that worthy follow the mail-order example of the other. Each would argue, perhaps,—and with good reasons—that he is a citizen, a tax¬ payer, an employer of labor—and a booster. We do not know that such grocers and dry goods merchants really exist in Astoria, but we are just coming to the point of the story now: We have over a score of family men on our payroll. They buy all their necessities in Astoria. They are good workmen— as good as you ' ll find. They’ll print anything from a card to a book of any description whatsoever. THEN—why not help us to keep them busy? Just see that your neighbor does not send his printing orders to Portland or Chicago. We know that you do not. This issue of the Zephyrus was printed in our shop, and the work speaks for itself. Prices—Our prices are always moderate, and, when the excel¬ lence of our products is considered, the cheapest.
