It was on a never-to-be-forgotten Sep¬ tember day, when we, with hands and faces lately washed, (the girls faces powdered) advanced with hesitating step toward that institution of learning that was to be the scene of our joys and sorrows for tlit next four (or perhaps five) ' r ears of our lives. In our hands we carried our cards showing that we had graduated from grammar school. My, how big we had felt when we left home but now, how smal l and insignificant. At last we gained the building and were uslhered into the assembly hall, where we were later to blossom forth as budding Ciceros and W. J. Hr.vans. Such thoughts, however, were far from our minds at this time. Our every thought was concentrated on. “What shall I take?” After a great deal of mental squirming a course was decided upon. Now we were ready to embark on the stormy waters of High School life. A program was handed out directing us to go to various rooms for our studies. Page Nine THE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Oh, what a time. At first the rooms could not be found, and we constantly asked for help, until the upper classmen began to call us pests and the Sopho¬ mores to take a delight in falsely directing us. We became accustomed to the routine and high school seemed a better place. However, our troubles were not over yet. It seemed to be the divine right of the Sophomores to initiate us into the mysteries of high school life and to show us our place. After the instructive lessons of the Sophs, we kept close to our roll-rooms, for to ven¬ ture away was to receive the wrath of the overbearing Sophomores. Even so, we were constantly learning, and after a year’s toil (for most of us), we as¬ sumed the garments of Sophomores; and lo and behold we had a group of green looking sprouts to look after. Another flood of Freshmen had come to the school, and it was our pleasant duty to initiate these new arrivals into the mysteries of high school, but how different was our treatment of them as compared to that which we received. It seemed queer, the kindness with which we treated the new lambs especially after the treatment we had re¬ ceived from the preceding Sophs, pains us ever now, to think of the complaints the new Fres ' hies lodged against us. That, however, was a small matter and we tried to remember that they were but babes. After much toil we again advanced and became incomparable Juniors. Gee, what good times we had. First the Junior Party. Say, there never had been a party to compare with it. All the boys and girls came and acted natural for it was a “kid party,” and everyone came dressed for the part. This turned out so well, that in order to finance our Junior Prom, a Junior C arnival was given. Talk about fun and’ solid enjoyment. After viewing the vaudeville, the crowd tramped over to the gym, and for over an hour shouts of merriment could be heard as Spark-Plug, the Siamese Twins, the hat AVoman, the AVild Alan, and the Nigger Baby gave the people a max¬ imum of pleasure. I lie Cai nival was followed by other activities, the year being ended with the Junior Prom, the most wonderful affair of the season. We had now become lordly and dignified Seniors. The first thing was to secure a seat in Room 14, the domicile of all good Seniors. When the mad scramble and smoke had cleared away, fifty-three smiling students were seated while several others, with downcast features and sorrowful mien, were slowly departing Room Elevenward. Thus ended the first day. After everyone had become settled and a regular routine class began to show its pep. ATirious social events took place, bring the students in closer touch with each other. established, the This helped to Page Ten THE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Numerous meetings were held for the purpose of deciding matters of con¬ cern to us. We certainly backed up all school activities, for at almost every meeting we were urged to support the team or staff, and it is a noteworthy fact, that when the time came we always led. In December we staged the Senior Ball, “Informal.” The preceding Supreme Senior Social Smash had smashed financially. Our Ball was a social and financial success. We were able to donate to the Zephyrus after all expenses were defrayed. We continued the good work and enjoyed many good times. The crown¬ ing activity of the year was our play, “Come Out of the Kitchen.” It proved to be a wonderful success. Each member of the cast handled Ids or her part in a capable manner. At last came May 29. After suffering the miseries of graduation exer¬ cises, we bade farewell to this dear old school, the scene of our development from children to womanhood and manhood. Farewell, Astoria High. — William Billingslea. In Memory When we think of Astoria High School In the days that have long gone by, A lump comes in our throats And we almost want to cry. We think of the friends we made there There’s Jimmy and Kate and Joe But they have all grown up now, Yes, a long, long, time ago. When we sit a gaze at the fire, In our big old easy chair, We think of Astoria High School And just wish that we were there. of A. H. S. When we think of the times we had there, Of the things we used to do, And think when we used to write notes, l remember that don ' t you ? We looked at our teachers in terror, When test days came around And we felt like we wanted to hide And could almost fall through the ground. Hut now those days have vanished W 7 e look back on them with a smile, And we think from our thoughts they have vanished, But even then they return for a while. —Doris G rah a m.

Page Twenty-six T HE Z E P 11 Y R U S N1NETEEX TWENTY-FIYE Senior Will We, the class of ’25, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory and almost super¬ human understanding, do devise, declare and publish this, our last will and testament. We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much has been imparted to them that will throw a new light on many a hither-to familiar line of thought, throughout the whole world of science and learning. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We also bequeath to them the feebleminded Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, and sincerely hope that they will occupy their time and cause them more trouble than we have. To the respective classes of the High School we do will the following, to-wit: To the Junior class we do bequeath Room 14 which during the past year has housed a vast amount of industry, ambition, honesty, courage, soberity, vim, vigor, vitality, pep, and seholarliness.

Page Thirty-one THE Z E P II Y R U S NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE A Cup of Tea There was a knock at the door. Miss Take was making a call at Miss Quote’s, during this lovely spring afternoon of l!t45. She was very much fatigued after her long journey on the E. L. Skyrocket Express from Earth to Mars. The world has progressed to such an extent since the graduation of the Great Minds of the Class of ’25, that great scientific achievements had been made by prominent members of this class. The E. L. Skyrocket Ex¬ press was the achievement of the prominent electrical wizard, Carl Everitt, with the help of the scientist, Gordon Laughlin who had successfully risen from a butter and cream churner to the most renowned scientist of the world. “My how the world has changed!” exclaimed Miss Take as she sipped her tea. “it certainly is a pleasure to meet you again after twenty years of separation, and discuss the good old times.” This tea is so refreshing. My heart was in my mouth during the ride to Mars because of the recklessness of that old flirtatious pilot, Runar Ras¬ mus. You remember he was the bashful boy of the class, but he certainly out grew it, — goodness what a queer garden your neighbor has.” That is Reuben Truman s garden. lie is trying to cultivate eggplants by planting decayed cackle berries.” “Here comes the aeroplane now with the mail William Palmberg, the well known ‘Earth to Mars’ mailman, ar¬ rives here about the same time every day. lie is very skilled in his work. Now we will get the latest news from the Earth.” Have you heard about the startling divorce case now taking place in the Great Metropolis of the Pacific, Astoria? Another member of the class is now in the head lines over domestic ties. You have probably guessed that it is Ceeile Hoyer, the much wooed but now the wife of—of—his name has escaped me but it seems to me that he worked for some wholesale house. Rel¬ ease is being upheld by the noted lawyer, Volner Stewart, who obtained his training in Ireland and England. He is leading the lonely life of a bachelor in Ireland in the haunts and castles of his ancestors. He made the trip to the United States just to uphold the case for Ceeile.” A number of members of the class have gained prominence in musical oii-ete. Annette Shatto is now in the Metropolitan Opera and is generally known as tlie Silver Tongued Nightingale. Martha Matta and Alice Miles are employed as her dress designers. They are becoming famous as designers. this wort?” 3re g °° d Chi lgeS ” «« • W ™“ Rwd ’as very good at Page Thirty-two T IIE Z E P II THUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE “Yes. I understand that she refused a good position in Paris under Paul Pateau, the French designer.” “I wonder where she is now?” “Why, haven’t you heard? She is living in a bungalow on “Avenue ‘Orway’ ” “Mildred Rinnell is now painting a picture of the king of Sweden. He is known to his people as King Bohunkus, but he was known to our class as President Leif Erickson.” “Just a minute Miss Take, we’ve emptied the tea pot again. I’ll make some more tea while you recall other members of the class.” “I’ll try, for I enjoy these old reminiscences.” Five minutes later. “ 1 ' m sorry to have kept you waiting. Won’t you have another cup of tea?” “A number of our old school mates are now before the footlights. Beda Felt and Tynne Koskela are now tripping the light fantastic in the Ziegfield Follies. Julius Berg is the elephant s valet in Bang Em and Bait Em Circus. “T certainly thought Julius Berg would have a brilliant career but with his two jail bird friends, -Reuben Sanderson and Ernest Carlson, very little could be expected. Reuben was jailed on the charge of robbing the cradle when lie stole a baby’s rattle to use as a horn on his two wheeled “Paradise.” Ernest was jailed for sticking carpet tacks in dough and selling it as raisin bread ” “By the way, what became of Lucille Ransom?” “Ob. she and Alan McManamna are now movie censors in Hollywood. It is said that NOTHING gets past them. “What has become of all our friends who lived in the beautiful suburb “Uniontown” in Astoria. “Oh, Florence Jalonen, Olga Uotila, Emily Corland and Selena Tark are now joint proprietors of tbe 4 Laborers Tea Room which was formerl, known as the “Worker’s Cafe.” “Aini Tihila and Aune Jamsa are now peddling water proof sponges in their New Rolls-Royce. It is said they are making a fortune and intend to build a mansion on Coney Island. “Bernice Beezley and Hazel Iloagland trying to convince the natives that a hot dog “George Funkhouser and Bernard Short demonstrating before and after one bottle.” “It’s too bad George didn’t grow much. are now missionaries in isn’t a scrub pup.” are selling “Growmore” Africa m 1 onic, Page Thirty-three T IIE Z E P II YRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE ‘Yes, but there were other short ones in the class—Helen Brandenburg for instance. She bought six bottles of “Growmore,” but I’m afraid to inquire for results. Helen and her friend Hildreth now have the positions of Secretaries to the King of Sweden.” ‘‘Betty Higgins and Winifred Hardie are now proprietors of the “Auto¬ motive Beauty Shop,” ‘Save the nuts and you save all’.” “Many of the members of our class have kept their high school friend¬ ships to the extent of becoming partners in business.” I thought that Eda Hauke and Lydia Benson would own a grocery store, but they have a “Men’s Ready to Wear Shop” instead.” Their store is a success because of the clever elucidation of their clerk, Martha Niemi. Forrest Everitt former clerk, was discharged when he sold a bow tie for a hair ribbon.” Many of our friends have taken the marriage vows. Henrietta Barend.se was married soon after graduation. Her wedding was the biggest social event of the year, when she married someone unknown to the class. Irma Allen was her maid of honor and the bridesmaids were all from Browns- mead, which is now a suburb of Astoria. The wedding was such a celebra¬ tion that Patrolman Carlson was called to the scene.” “I’ve read a lot in the papers about Patrolman Carlson. He has been awarded many medals and handsome gifts by various women’s clubs and or¬ ganizations, for being a second Sir Walter Raleigh. He personally assists the ladies to cross the traffic-jammed Commercial Street.” “Helen Erickson is another one who is now ' keeping the “home fires burning. She i s interested in an excavating company.” Esther Brainier, Gladys Carlson and Tynne Ilberg are teaching school here on Mars, and Luella Elliott is a radio entertainer. Her piano selections are broadcasted from Earth to Mars.” Sophie Kangas and Aina Issaccson have a “Novelty Beautv Shop” in Russia They guarantee to beautify anything from a mule to a Bolshevik.” I heard recently that Edith Moberg was in a Zoo. She spends most of icr time,with the monkeys trying to find different specimens of the flea and ller friend Bernice Peterson is attempting to prove Darwin’s theory by searching for monkey specimens.” “What has become of our poet J.

They are now great dramatic stars. They are playing “Hamlet” in Russia, teaching the Bol¬ sheviks a real tragedy.” “Really Miss Quote isn ' t it marvelous how our old class has scattered all over the world, promoting civilization? “Esther and Ruth Snow are proprietors of a book store here on Mars. They specialize in the Three C Book (Cross-word Craze Cure). Their agents for the book are Elizabeth Lash and June Richardson. They are continually going from Mars to Earth, but they report that the book sells better on Mars for the people of the Earth are in a ‘Beyond Repair’ condition. “Helena Parras is in Holland trying to teach the Kaiser the old pro¬ verb, ‘It ' s never too late to learn’ (dancing).

They work in the office while—someone else does the home work.” Page Thirty-five E ZEPHYRUS £] NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE “Have you heard of the new authors? They were members of our class. Gertrude ITowe and Ida Lepisto are writing a book entitled, ‘‘ Eight- House Keeping.” 1 hey will probably make a fortune when this book is printed. Ellen TIaivala and Ellen Moisio will probably be some of the first to get this book for they intend to become keepers.” Helen irkkala and Louise Kindred who have studied cave-men and the like, are helping Lenore Wahl locate the lost race of Jar-Men.” I heard that Leo Landy and Ben Wentjar are known as the Universal Tramps. Their only way of securing food is by “Breaking windows” or by “Put and Take.” ou remember Mary 1 eacock and Jobannah Rasmussen, they are now entertainers at the Laborers Tea Room.” “Some of the class of ' 25 have reached out as far as the Cannibal Isles.

She is helping construct the great L. T. Building, which is owned by Lena Tidslevold, who is building a home for cross-word puzzle maniacs. “Yes, she knows from experience that this is neccessary. She too be¬ comes quite violent at times.” “Good gracious! What time is it, Miss Quote? I must be getting home.” Ihe E. L.

But when we set out to feel about In this world of loss and gain Each one will follow a separate path And some will not cross again But those that meet shall bring a joy And a handgrip vigorous and firm To those days of days at the A.

It is composed of the six Student Body officers and a representative from each of the four classes. The Council meets on the first Monday of every month and any other time the president deems it necessary. It audits the accounts of all the of¬ ficers, requires all the officers to comply with the constitution, approves all expenditures of money, confirms appointments and takes charge of all elections and entertainments. Besides its regular duties, the Council this year accomplished various other things. It bought the class cup and introduced class contests. Amend¬ ments were drawn up and brought before the students for approval. Much has been done for the good of the Associated Student Body. A radical change was made by the Student Council in regard to the treasury system. Mr Robert Kimzey was appointed Faculty advisor for this department. A capable bookkeeper was appointed to do the actual keeping ot the nooks. Ir.ja Jarvin was appointed to this position. After the resignation of Dorothea Prael, editor of the Astor Post was accepted by the Council, Bernard Short was appointed as her successor _ The Student Council as it now stands has ten members. It was found that this was too large a number, so a new system will be inaugurated this fall I he student Council then will be composed of the President, four vice-presi- dents-one from each class, the secretary and the treasurer. The editors of the Zephyius and the Astor Post have been excluded.

When sound support and encouragement were lacking in the early settlement of Astoria, hard times were experienced and only by sheer pluck were the early settlers able to keep the post going. How¬ ever, our Astor Post has not endured quite such hardships as its early pre¬ decessor, but at the beginning of the fall term with the advertising rates lowered and the subscriptions few, the Astor Post Staff had to work with all the vim of the early fur traders in order to maintain a school paper. Vhen the Spring term started all the Astor Post’s wrongs were rhdited however, by increasing the “ad” rates and raising the subscription price, and at the ;ime of the first anniversary of the Astor Post, March 7. 1925 its subscription list was increasing rapidly, likewise its bank roll. The Astor Post lost its chance of being proclaimed the best school paper calFd of 6 WhCn t le annUal contest betwee n state high school papers was As our paper has labored on through one year, let us hope that it will Z lZle Zt many m ° re and that futUrG Staffs Wil1 - competent Page Fifty-four THE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE DEBATE TEAM Jones Stewart Halderman Brooks Billingslea Mrs. Robison Appleton After a few weeks of study the Debate team was chosen, consisting of: John IIalderman, Stanford Brooks, Volner Stewart and Virginia Jones. Due to illness, John Halderman became an alternate, William Billingslea taking his place. Alternates: John Halderman and Artie Appleton.

Due to the fact that St. Helens did not wish to continue the debate, she forfeited to Astoria. This gave the district championship to Astoria. William Billingslea and Stanford Brooks composed the affirmative team. Volner Stewart and Virginia Jones composed the Negative team. Artie Appleton acted as alternate. The District question debated this year was: “Resolved: That the United States should adopt a policy of ship-subsidy. Mrs Charles W. Robinson coached the teams, and to her efforts, much of their success is due.

Page Sixty-one THE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Music has always played an important part in the Astoria High, School, hut this year in particular, all former records have been out done. Mr. T. P. Haller, the supervisor of music, deserves much credit, for the success of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club. The two big musical events of the year were the production of the operetta, “The Fire Prince,” and the cantata, “The Garden of Flowers.” The operetta, “The Fire Prince,” a reproduction of an old Fairy Tale, was full of humorous incidents, with a strain of romance running through it! This was one of the most appreciated events of the year. “The Garden of Flowers,’ made up of a group of delightful songs, was put on for the Assem¬ bly on Washington’s birthday, by the Girls’ Glee Club, accompanied by the orchestra.

To meet the need, the Phi Chi Club of the Astoria High School was organized at the beginning rf the Spring term. At the first meeting of the class the constitution drawn up by Mary Peacock and Esther Branner was adopted and the following officers chosen: President, Mary Peacock; Secretary-Treasurer, Martha Matta, to serve for a period of six weeks. Miss Fern Curry, Advisor; Esther Branner, Club Re¬ porter. Officers for second six weeks: President, Tvnne Ilberg; Secretary- Treasurer, Lena Tidslevold.

Page Seventy-five T HE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Basketball Review The Purple and Gold experienced a successful season winning all games for the district championship and losing only one of the games played with other teams. With three lettermen back and plenty of last year’s second team on deck, Coach Nelson built up a team that took the district championship but was de¬ feated at the tournament by Salem who won the State Championship. Eight games were played outside of the schedule of which the A. H. S. won six. lost one and tied one. Some of the teams played were the Y. M. C. A. young men, St. Mary’s, Columbians, Algonquin, Ilwaco and M. A. A. C. Inter- medates. The only game lost was lost to the Y. M. C. A. The first game in the district was played with Warrenton High. Astoria took them into camp by a 33-5 score. Next they met Knappa-Svensen on the enemy’s territory and defeated them in a fast, furious game by a score of 27-9. Westpor t was easy meat for the hungry Astorians and were defeated 45-3. Seaside, Astoria ' s hereditary enemy was defeated in a fast set-to by a 36-20 score. In a second game with Knappa-Svensen, the A. II. S. hoopsters again proved their superiority by defeating them 25-18. In the last game in the Lower Columbia district, Astoria, by defeating Seaside 14-10, earned the right to play Rainier for the district championship” The first game of the three game series was played at Rainier where Rainier won 11-10. Contrary to all expectations Rainier showed a brand of sportsmanship that might well lie envied by any school. In the second game at Astoria, the Purple and Gold turned and defeated haimer 40-7. In the final game which was played in Portland at the Franklin Hi di gymnasium, Astoria won 25-17. This gave them the right to enter the State tournament at Salem Astoria rooters who attended this game saw the hardest tight ot the year for Rainier continually threatened to defeat Astoria High. Astoria suffered her second defeat of the season when Salem defeated her m a faster and harder game than the 22-12 score would suggest It is also worthy to mention the fact that Salem won the State Championship so the deteat was no disgrace or blot on the season’s schedule.

This was the first Senior entertainment and was a great success. The Junior party was held on October twenty-fourth. This was an even¬ ing of fun and pleasure for the peppy Junior class. The Sophomore party was a great success from start to finish. It was held in the high school gymnasium, November seventh. One interesting feature was the crowning of Marie Hanson as Queen of the Sophomores. The Senior Benefit Dance held December 23, in the high school gym¬ nasium was one of the social events of the year, ' the proceeds were given to the Zephyrus fund. The gymnasium was decorated to represent a winter garden. The music was furnished by Cobban ' s orchestra. This dance was informal, and was a decided social success. The Basket Social was a High School activity given for the benefit of our library. A large crowd enjoyed the stunts given by the classess and faculty, after which baskets were auctioned off. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by our school orchestra. This was the biggest social event of the term. The Juniors and Seniors held their party Friday, March 20, in Patriot hall. A large number of both classes turned out and an evening of both games and dancing was enjoyed. A committee of members from both classes planned the entertainment. The Sophomores and Freshmen both held parties during the second term of the school year. These parties aided greatly in getting acquainted with new members of tin respective classes. The Junior Prom, which is the only formal dance of the year had not yet occurred when the Zephyrus went to press. The class of ' 2(1 expect to make this event a great success. It is always the biggest social event of the year.

JIOW TO BECOME A SENIOR 1. Tear into the assembly at 9:15. ( ' Phis makes all the students and sometimes the teachers notice you.) Never lie. on time, but when you arrive rush madly about, look important, always have a lot to say and never con¬ descend to whisper. 2. Always make all the disturbance possible during study periods and assemblies. 3. Do all your studying on the way to class and never have your lesson. 4. Be on friendly terms with all the faculty—it pays. 5. Never speak to any one but a Senior, teacher, or visitor. (i. During noon hour get your English, Civics and American History. 7. Skip school or cut classes whenever you fell so inclined. (It makes Mr. Johnson notice you.) Faithfully follow this advice and you will no doubt become Seniors. Miss Miles (In English): “Paid, 1 want you to construct this sentence so it will have a more logical order: ‘Johnnie can ride the mule if he wants to’.” Paul A: “Johnnie can ride the mule—if the mule wants him to.” Maybe these jokes are stale, And should be on the shelf, But if you knew some better ones Why didn’t you hand in a few yourself.’ Page Ninety-one THE Z E P II Y R U S NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE CROSS WORD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL Autograph.

It is with the most profound regret that 1 find it necessary to bring be¬ fore your attention the seriousness indeed,I may well say hopeless condition of the Class of 1925. We have known for several years that the class was in a somewhat critical state of health. There has been no chance for any doubt about that, for the combination of disorders under which she has been is only too clearly manifest, and the symptoms of her disease is unmistakable. Indeed, for the past four years, her head has been so rapidly swelling with her greedy accumulation of information in the A. H. S., that it has now assumed such gigantic proportions in each of her nine individual parts, as to cause all who know her, or have come into even occasional contact with any part of her, the most serious uneasiness lest it should burst with its enormous overflow of learning, and scatter its treasures of knowledge broadcast upon an unappreciative public. She also has many dizzy spells, caused, it is believed, by the immense heights to which she has climbed in her search for wisdom—the blood rushed to her head and face in mighty floods of blush and bloom, whenever she is asked a question concerning which there is the least chance for any suspicion that she may not know the answer, be it of this and all other worlds past present, or to come; while her heart, with all its nine throbbing pulses has be¬ come abnormally heavy with the thought of the parting soon to come, and the anticipation of the last painful struggle. In addition to this, she still carries many stabs to her vanity, that seem grievously slow to heal, received from unexpected failures and mistakes- and various sears, which even her massive pride has not yet been able to thoroughly obliterate from her plastic understanding; as well as several painful bumps and hi, uses, the result of stumblings while attempting to run too fast and ont- -t ip her competitors, or climb too far above the averages of the High School piccei.eiit. m a strange and unwholesome fever of desire to finish her race he- foie the appointed term had been fulfilled. She is also exceedingly nervous, and hopes that friends will bear patiently ' e . |,l ™ t 1 pses 0f mem °W f0 ‘- over-worked and over-loaded brain Page Ninety-eight T IiE ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE has begun to wonder—even more than usual—and she has become subject to curiously unaccountable “spells” and “fits” which she hopes will not be thought natural or unusual in her behaviour; for only Miss Hettinger, the wise nurse in charge of her ease, has been able to control these peculiar symp¬ toms that mark the approach of insanity. Year by year, too, she has grown larger and larger instead of shrinking as previous classes have done under the weight of ponderous stituency to an insignificant few. Tinder such conditions, who could expect, or even wish her to linger longer in this dreary vale of tears and partings? No, there is no longer any hope. The class of 1925 has become altogether too wise to linger longer among the struggling youths and aspiring maidens of Astoria High School. Last week a council of wise and learned specialists was called to sit in judgment upon the rapidly failing patient. By means of tests and other examinations, they took her temperature and mental standing, and performed a very essential operation upon her over-crowded brain. In her poor cranium they found such a jumbled up mass of mathematics, science and literature that there was absolutely no chance for relief. There, in a huge, indigestible mass, were crowded four years of history, two years of Latin and French, Algebra, Geometry, and Chemistry, besides the most deadly kind of a medley of Burke’s Conciliation with America, Dickens Tale of Two Cities and David Copperfield, Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar, Merchant of Venice, MacBeth and Hamlet, and many other bits too numerous to be completely diagnosed here and now. True, there was no hope of recovery—none! When they saw the serious aspect of the case, with grave and troubled faces, these wise doctors pronounced 1925 to be in the very last stage of excess of information on the brain, with an average temperature of 93 percent, and declared in there professional wisdom that she could not possibly last longer than until the evening of May 29. I assure you she cannot last many minutes now, for her pulse is beating at a most alarming rate, her nerves are keyed to the highest pitch and her tem¬ perature is one hundred and twenty in the shade, and still increasing. There¬ fore, she asks as a last request, that you will bear with her patiently during the time that she remains with you, and remember only the good she has done, forgetting her faults as one should always overlook the failings of those who have passed on to other spheres, and thinking as charitably as possible of her many glaring mistakes, thus making her last moments as easy as such moments may be made.
