And the farmer hauled another load of hay! Love- thirty! Love-forty! Game! I certainly am in the rut of ' Love ' . Don ' t seem to be able to get away from it. Even in college, it hangs around. Why, Benita Burroughs! You should be spanked! The very idea of your throwing away a game like that! You — Lemme finish — ought to go back to kindergarden and learn the science of serving. No doubt about it, Helen, 1 simply wasn ' t made for it. As a tennis player, I ' m a good dish-washer! Silly! You simply have to learn. How in the world do you ever expect to earn your tennis letter unless — A significant pause — Benita shot a puzzled look at Helen, feministically patting her hair. Hello Bill! Ben hurriedly thought of her hair stringing in her eyes; the strap that peeped from under her short sleeve; the stocking that vas slowly coming down after the strenuous exertions. Miraculously, she remedied all of these sad states almost simultaneously and turned around, smiling complacently into a pair of mocking blue eyes. lav I ask ? You Well? Yes, I ' ve been in the best of health lately. And how are you, seem to be well ; but appearances are sometimes deceiving. Aren ' t you clever. Bill Boyden ! Well, what ' s the matter now; didn ' t you get your Science? Prof promised a verv sweet exam tomorrow from the National Board. The dear old thing- from Benita. -I ' d like to plaster him all o ' er the wall! This vociferously Not that — but this morning the English professor told me that I couldn ' t play in the tournament tomorrow because my composition wasn ' t in. And I did hand it in the same day as I did my chemistry report. But, of course, that doesn ' t do me any good now. Bill, you don ' t mean that! How can you make it up? Why, it would take you seven years to make up the notes — outside of the composition itself! Say, haven ' t you your notes? You have? Listen! You get them and I ' ll help you what little I can bo e ! AVhat would the varsity be one IS as good tonight. You ' ve simply got to play! Heavens a without its main star? Pray tell me that! Please be serious, Benita. uii know I ' m not the ' main star ; another. Vhat time shall 1 come up? About eight? ou be there by seven at the very latest and perhaps you will The prof is certainly afraid that we flitting butterflies will nut have enough to do. Is Brick playing with you tomorrow in the doubles? He is? Helen and I will be there in the front row of the galleries. ' I ' ou don ' t have to see us — hearing is enough ! The rumble buggy is outside. Let ' s make use of it. He — where did that girl go to? Uidii ' t ou see her leave? The little minx! Eight? My dear boy be finished b ' twelve! Sfvenlffn :: o L. .. ' I ' lic two rail over to tlic car, llicri liciinc. licnita piled out of it with See you at seven ; bye! At eleven-thirty Bill unbent slowly, heaved a sit;ti, stretched his arins, and straightened the twist in his spinal cord. Bcnita slumped back in her seat, rubbed her eyes, then turned to Bill with Well? Is it finished? Gee, Ben, I can ' t write it as };ood as the other. It ' s t ' rrible but it will have to do. You can ' t help it, Bill. Don ' t worry, you ' ll come out all rij ht. Honestly, Bill, you ' re a born tennis player and you don ' t know it. 1 never saw anyone play as smoothly as you. Hmmm — you ' d better run along because you need all the sleep there is left. Perhaps you had better get excused from our morning classes. P. V. is rather good-hearted ; he ' ll let you. About one the next afternoon, Benita heard a terrible racket coming up the stairs toward her room — a crash against the door. She opened it, and Bill dashed in, grinning from ear to ear. Here it is! Come on, let ' s go! ( n the way over in the car. Bill explained how it happened. He had handed in his English composition to the chemistry professor and that morning had received a very caustic note from him asking if he knew the difference between chemistry and English, and please to call for the comp that morning. After the game Bill came to see Benita and Helen in the stands. Of course, Bill had won ; he couldn ' t lose, Benita insisted, much to his embarrassment. By the way, Helen, Brick wants to see you at the south entrance now. Let ' s all walk over there, then you two can do whatever you please. Benita and I are going to — well, never mind, we ' ll see. At the south door the quartet parted — two to the west and two to the east. That evening — a cool ideal June night; platinum moon; everything quiet and placid — Bill and Benita strolled through one of the many paths near the river. The modest moon hid herself in the trees; only the checkered rays fell on their faces. Earnestly talking, they went on. Suddenly- Benita found herself talking into the front of a sweater with Bill ' s arms holding her tight. She looked up. Well? Star Secrets Jessie DeBord A weeping violin awoke me From a sound and peaceful sleep, And I ran out in the moonlight To find the music sweet. Not a person was in sight ; The sounds had faded and were still. And the moon was laughing at me From that near tree-covered hill. And the star-eyes too, were twinkling. Laughing to each other there ; Surely they knew what had tricked me — A secret they will never bare. Eighteen Ye Gods! Harold Bromberg ' — -rf ' UPITER was worried. Some of the Titans had been causing trouble and, Q) as usual, Juno was jealous. He had e ' en suspected her of mixing vinegar ' mf and kerosene with the nectar and ambrosia. His greatest worry, however, was about his rain can. Somebody had carried it off ; so he could not indulge in his usual diversion of sprinkling the earth. He felt sure some god had stolen it, but he did not know which one. After advertising in the Godly Gossip and not getting any results, he became desperate. One day when he was strolling along the Olympian Boulevard admiring some of the nymphs, he met Alars. Jupe, ho believed there was enough strife in his own house- hold to furnish the universe, didn ' t approve of the war god and his bloody pastime; but he was mindful of the straw ballot soon to be cast on the most popular god, and wishing to curry favor, he stopped for a little chat. How is the war in China? he asked. They ' re not as bloodthirsty as would satisfy me, replied Mars. They have been fighting right along, I hear, said Jupe. Yes. That ' s because they ' ve had ideal fighting weather lately. As long as this keeps up, they will get the right fighting spirit. ou don ' t say! Well, goodbye, said Jupe. Jupiter left Mars with his suspicions confirmed ; he was certain now that the war god had his can. He hurried to the warrior ' s palace and searched until he finally found it hidden under a couple of machine guns waiting to be shipped to Chicago. To get revenge on ] Iars, he made it rain and hail so that the war in China would have to grow milder. But unfortunately, he got mixed in his geography and hit Oregon instead of China. This happened along about Easter and wrecked many new hats instead of war plans. --, o Nineteen Sleep Fr. nk Odex Step softly, father, step softly ; Baby is about to be carried away To the land of the sandman ' s sway, At the end of this long, long, day. Step softly, father, step softly. Go lightly, my son, go lightly ; As the trillium sleeps under the snow Our little tea-rose will sleep here below. As the winds their cold blasts do blow. Go lightly, my son, go lightly. Sleep on, little dove, sleep on ; There will be a time when you grow so tall That I won ' t need to croon at all. To get you to sleep beside the high wall. Sleep on, little dove, sleep on. On Taking an Elevator Marjorie Panc;born CHE caption is misleading. I really didn ' t take an elevator any place. It didn ' t take me any place either. I trietl to take it, but it made no effort to take mc. iMy misadventure occurred upon the day that so many of our girls worked for a downtown department store. I went in search of a girl friend. The first floor revealed no clue. As an Al detective, I was a better defective. By subtle pussy- footing I found a girl who had seen her someplace sometime, but unfortunately my informer was at the present moment suffering from amnesia and couldn ' t remember why, where, nor when. Bravely I mounted the first flight of stairs. The second required a little more display of my best upgrade effort. Be careful, my new shoes cried. I was. By the time I had reached the sixth floor, I was walking on one-fourth of my foot, or approximately the area covered by an ant in its lifetime of journeying. Every girl but the right one was in sight. As a committee of one, I decided that I would explore no further. My next conscious move was for the elevator. A little red light blazed over the door. I stood by pati entlv concentrating on its likeness to a danger signal. After seeing the mob that vainly tried to condense itself within the 2x4 space, I concluded that the elevator was for the exclusive use of the persons willing to take a chance. Another little red light glowed invitingly. I summoned foot power. The elevator stopped, but not for me. After the process of elimination had been gone through, I was still optimistically awaiting a car. I gave several encores of my home runs for the benefit of the operators of the cars. I either missed them entirely or I was weeded out as an undesirable. I must have looked under age or capable of walking down those six flights of hard, marble steps. Finally mv English brain comprehended the situation. I made a momentous decision. I would walk ! The fact that I had to was generously overlooked. I started down with a light heart and with heavy feet. I reached the fifth floor. A practically empty car whizzed down the shaft. I descended the rest of the distance without the use of crutches. Once I had gained a Pep Co. limousine, a kindly conductor told me that my transfer had expired long ago. Reverently I laid its last remains in an inner pocket to await the coming of her who collects transfers. The streetcar company received cash that memorable day. P. S. The next time I go to a crowded store, I don ' t — unless I take a temporary elevator which folds away when not in use. My Mother Louise Schneider Down in the meadows are cowslips ; Up in the sky are stars. And out on the blue are little ships That weave a web with their spars. Up on a hill are violets With gleaming crowns of dew, But here at home are the things I love And here in my heart is you. Ticfnty What a Piece of Paper Can Do LORENE SaLTUS XT WAS all decided. Clifford and Frank were to play at the pie social. This pie social, held in the little country schoolhouse, w ' as an annual event. All the pupils took part in the program, which came before the auction of the pies. The most talented pupils were put first, because, after an hour ' s program, the audience got rather tired of straining their necks and ears trying to see and hear some of the bashful ones. Clifford and Frank fondly imagined that this was why they were put first, but Annie Hogan said that she heard the teacher say that if she put them last, she was sure that somebody would shower them with the last of the garden vegetables. The night came, bringing inky darkness with it. What a black night! exclaimed Frank, as he was milking the last cow. Yes, and we have to go by that graveyard, too, replied Clifford. Oh, who ' s afraid of ghosts? There is no such thing. Fm not afraid. Hurry up and milk that cow or we ' ll be late. Clifford said no more, because he didn ' t want his older brother to know that he was afraid. One-half hour later, as they were nearing the graveyard, Clifford said, Say, I don ' t believe I could run five steps with this heavy saxophone. Who ' s talking about running? sneeringly replied Frank, while Clifford indifferently loosened his saxophone and carried it under his arm. The tombstones shone bright in the darkness. All was still except a continual squeak- ing sound. What ' s that? whispered Clifford. At that very moment, not fifteen feet behind them, arose a white something. After rattling its bones, it flew on and clattered right into Mr. Simmons ' grave. Clifford dropped his saxophone and took to his heels, not waiting to see what became of the ghost or of his brother. Frank also started to run ; but in his flight, stubbed his toe and fell face downward into the ditch, where he lay quite still, fearing, if he moved, the ghost would see him. He thought he felt its cold hands on him once; and then he imagined that it either thought he was dead or had gone on after his brother, or that, perhaps, he was really dead and soon would become a ghost himself. In less than ten minutes, Clifford was back with help, for he dared not come alone. After finding Frank all right, they proceeded to find the ghost. They had a flash- light, and on Mr. Simmons ' grave, its ghostly rays revealed a large roll of paper that had been picked up by the wind and partly unrolled. Everyone laughed but Frank and Clifford. They could not be persuaded so easily. After finding that a gate was the cause of the squeaking, they decided that it wasn ' t a ghost after all. Still tremb- ling, they resumed their interrupted journey to the social. On account of their lateness, the first number on the program was omitted. Annie Hogan thinks it was a good thing the ghost did scare them. I wonder why? Nevertheless, the bovs were able to eat two pies apiece, and the social was a success. Tnvfnly-one The Mystery Hi:l ' 1,aii Hacki.i:v XT WAS Tliursday afternoon, art (la ' . Hurriedly I drew out my water colors. All week 1 had heen planiiint; the scenery I would paint, and all week 1 had gone througii magazines, books, and papers in quest of ideas to suit my fancy. Taking a little from each and every picture, 1 finally had it all arranged in my mind. After a struggle I succeeded in making what 1 called a lake fit for a perfect, romantic picture. I then started in on a tree, but lo and behold, my young and stately poplar turned out to be a somber hemlock. Thoroughly disgusted, I erased it. I then en- gaged in deep thought. Couldn ' t 1 draw a tree that didn ' t look so dry that it might start a forest fire? I hit upon a plan. I didn ' t know the name of the tree, but I knew 1 had seen it somewhere. It had a slender trutik with long, lanky branches hanging to the ground. Fairly well pleased with my tree, 1 began on some stumps which I placed wherever it looked bare. While giving it some extra touches, 1 saw the teacher coming down the aisle. Looking at it from in front of me, she said, Don ' t you think the ground is rather bare? I looked it over, and, to please her, I put in a few white lily pads. The girl beside me grabbed it, looked it over, and tossed it back upon my desk. It lit upside down. I glanced at it, and in doing so, I beheld a slightly clouded sky and a fountain with a small uneven path around it. And yes, the ground was rather bare. Disgusted, I held it limply between m fingers. It tipped a little to one side. I gasped, for now I had a picture of a wind storm, with my tree and stumps fairly knocked over, and white foam on my quiet, romantic lake. I was shortly aroused by the teacher ' s Time to hand in your work. I scribbled down the title and handed my work in. But the teacher didn ' t seem to understand why I named it The Mystery . Poet ' s Song Berniece Hill Love flits by me like a song; I hear a far-off cry Of heartaches, dreams, and sorrows; I sob a poet ' s sigh. And mingle tears with bitter fears, Of sunshine days and song. Life drifts by me, just a song; I seek a fallen note Of life-time, lost in love and shadows, With darkness, still remote ; And gather joys with phantom toys. Of sunshine days and song.

Inspiration — of such is made stuff o ' dreams. Our teachers have stimulated action and have urged us onward over the many hills that obstruct the path before the day of graduation dawns and Life awaits us. Our principal and our dean have taken the parental responsibility, during school hours, of guiding our footsteps along the way of efficiency. Regardless of work, the office secretaries have always stopped to fill out the necessary slips for anything out of routine that we have had to do. Our librarian has been ever gracious in assisting us with our outside, reference, or recreational reading. The janitor has always been forbearing with us when we have transgressed. Our themes may have been amateurish ; our shorthand characters, wobbly ; our typ- ing, a big mistake, and our bookkeeping, minus a trial balance ; but the faculty have ever spurred us to scale the heights. We are trying. Twenty-four School Politics L ' n ' J Our student body organizations ; namely, our Student Body Council and the Room Representative group, are modeled after our own constitutional governing body. The Student Bodv Council is in reality composed of a president and his cabinet of officers. The House of Representatives is comprised of the Room Representatives. Tlie President of the Senate, Wayne Cupper, presides at all Student Body Council and Room Representative meetings; the Secretary (of State), Agnes Gronquist, keeps the minutes, while the rest of the cabinet do committee work ; and the members of the House carry news and explanation from the Cabinet to the electors. A member of either of these two organizations is entitled to activity pomts, which count in the winning of an activity letter, a green and yellow C , mounted on a green sliield outlined in yellow, awarded to any student who has earned fifty points in activities and in scholarship. Thus, you see, these two organizations function in the world of school life similarly to the Constitutional body of the United States. i_ Tnx-enty-five Always Laboring ' Pleasant H( ' li ful Ambitious Best Endeavors Toward Achievements Twfnty-six o Girl ' s Association Makes Marvelous Atlviincempiits G r Daughters Earnestly Launehing True Americanism TiL ' fnly-srz ' rrt Blotter Staff (From the diary of a Blotterian ) Early uppe, mightie merrie, and do breakfast upon a brave egg.

No more does the staff do the burden of the writing, for it is composed of executives who collect material from the school at large. For a school year, the staff and Irs. Barger have worked faithfully for ynur semi-annuals. lembers have written, collected and assorted articles for publication in the pages of the Ledger. They have been the medium for photographing student body activities. But what have the staff contributed individually, you say? Read for yourselves. The contributions and their donors are: Dorcas Case, responsibility; James Christison, unbounded energy; Dorothy Crow, enthusiasm; Jennie Gold, interest; Rueben Miller, faithfuless; Helen Montgomery, sincerity; Louise Oesch, sense of humor; Grace Rogcway, earnestness; Esther AVeinstein, cleverness; Hallie Wiest, dignity; Billie Wylde, good judgment; Irene ' arnell, inspiration, and Marjorie Pangborn, person- alitv. These qualities are not to be found under certain defined headings. Fhey are woven into the substance of the magazine itself.

I am to vou politely, vour friend, MARIA GOLES Such is the correspondence carried on the Latin American countries. letween the Spanish Club, El Aliciente, and v Thirty-orif Sponsors of Speaking A firocer in a small town was anxious to increa-e his business. He was an odd in- ventive character — in fact, mtire of an in enror than a business man — and he had need for adxertisinj; at this time. He thoufiht of a plan — to o out at nifiht and paint on the sidewalks a lot of white footprints with the aid of a stencil plate. He carried out his plan and soon white feet were the talk of the town ; all kinds of guesses were made about them. Finalh a placard was noticed in the firocers window. Those footprints lead to I. M. Smart ' s sirocery. The S. O. S. is a democratic organization, but, like Mr. Smart ' s grocery, it needs advertising. It is an acti e and growing club and, as its name, Sponsors of Speaking , suggests, it was organized for the purpose of fostering public speaking, promoting voice culture, and practicing parliamentary law. Each member is ery enthusiastic about his club and each does his part. Do not be surprised, however, if you find white footprints in the spacious halls of the school some Thursday afternoon. And remem- ber that all roads lead to the S. O. S. in Portable F and not to Rome. 7V;;r ' - ii ' 0 Silver Pencil Scene — Library. Time — Any jMonday after school. Characters — Silver Pencilers. An Ambitious Would-Be (finishing story) : — and the sun went down silhouet- ting her slender form enclosed in his brawny arms. At last they had found each other ! A Second One: That sounded like a one-reel melodrama. Too trite — and — The Other: It is not! That ' s what I call a real story! The Rest OF THE Sixteen: Yes! No! Absolutely! Etc. Etc. The President: Order please! Any more comments? If not — let ' s have another. Thus, until the drop of the curtain, each poem, story or essay is criticised with the intention of perfecting it and turning it out with the other work that has made the High School of Commerce noted for its literary ability. Then, too, besides the Senior Silver Pencil there are two chapters of the Junior Silver Pencil Club consisting of our younger budding geniuses who are following in the footsteps of their older club members. Silver Pencilers, we ' re proud of you! Keep up the good work. Thirty-three i Kommerce Kamera Klub ' hcnc ci there is a liroup of students :ithereil around someone, ou may know the attraction is pictures . Pictures are of lastinj; interest, especially those in which a popular student is caught in a unusual pose. The memhers of the Kommerce Kamera Klub learn to appreciate the beaut of nature and stri e to preser e it. They study the camera and experiment •ith it. Contests are held to stimulate interest and competition in better picture taking. The pictures taken by the club will help us to remember our Alma Alater when we are years away from school. Thirty-four Commerce Clio Club When in the course of human e ents at the Hit;h School of Commerce, it hecame obvious that many students were interested in the various kinds of history, a group of there interested students formed a club, namins; it the Commerce Clio Club in honor of Clio, the Muse of histor . Thev, the members of the Commerce Clio Club, in order to form a more perfect organization and to foster and promote interest in history, did, at their first meeting, ordain and establish a constitution for their club. The results of the spring election of 1927 were: president, Marjorie Pangborn ; vice- pre;ident, Esther Weinstein ; secretar . Raymond Hunsaker. Watch the C. C. C. make histor - ! Thirty-fi-ve Girls ' Glee Club Meerali, the beautiful daiicint: }:irl ; tlie three old women of the temple, Hear-No- Evil, See-No-Evil, Speak-No-Evil; the gay, launhint; and singing girls of the village; bright, colorful costumes — flashing jewelry; lingering melody — In India ! Just as there are two sides to every question ; so there were two to the operetta, the fun side — and the work side. Mrs. Noah Peterson again proved her capability as leader of this organization, which consists of over 100 girls ranging from freshmen to seniors. ] Iiss Muirden ' s art students assisted the Glee Club girls in their preparations for the operetta. Glittering gold bracelets that would ha e aroused Cleopatra ' s envy were created in the art portable. The girls labored untiringly in dyeing white cheese- cloth into an attractive confusion of color. Commonplace boudoir slippers were miraculoush transformed into golden sandals. Flowers, beads, rings and bracelets appeared in a startling and fascinating array and for one night the Glee Club trans- ported Commerce students and friends to the far-away, mystic land of India. Thirty-six Orchestra Saxaphones plus harmony, Violins plus melody. Drums respondini; noisily, Bells a-tini:lini; merrily ; These, you ' ll hear, and man more. At every social affair. The AIonda - nifiht drill team is headed for fame and fortune. Never was a body of students more faithful. On e ery occasion where music could possibly lend its charm our orchestra has been there. Mrs. Peterson, director of our talented ones, has cer- tainlv succeeded in tjivint; the proper atmosphere to our social affairs. Vaudevilles are started on their jocular road by Crazy Vords, Crazy Tunes, Do Da. Our class plav casts value the soothing effect of such music as ou Forgot to Remember . Graduates march to recei e the final reward from Commerce to the music our orchestra renders. Who did not respond to the oriental music that so characterized the operetta In India ? The orchestra is an acti it of the year and not just of a season. Ha e we pitched our appreciation to the right key? If you are a lucky boy or girl who plays an instrument, have vou given the orchestra enough thought? Have iu, — well, we ' ll ask vou, what do you think? Thirty-seven ti ' - Who are thev ? Lemon C See for ourself. Thirty-eight Hi-Y Club In each Portland hijzh scIkiuI there is a Hi- ' ' Club, an exclusive organization which is under the supervision of the . M. C. A. The purpose of this organization is; To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y oath is: As a Hi- ' member I do solemnly promise cheerfully to help and cooperate with m felluw workers for the benefit of my school and community; to give a part of my time to the interests and work of the Hi-Y Club; to live and uphold the fundamental principles of a Christian life as well as to help ethers do likewise. The Hi- ' is a club of leaders, high minded young men who think and act — young men who are not afraid to stand up and speak for what they think is right. The members of the Hi- ' ' Club are required to keep their grades up to a G average. Thirly-Ttine Basketball Onward marched the six hundred, noble six hundred, cannons to the right of them, cannons to the left of them, cannons in front of them, cannons behind them — only in this case it was the noble ten or fifteen who turned out regularly for the basketball team at Commerce — the cannons were stairs, floor after floor of them. The Knights of Columbus hall is not equipped with an elevator, and, considering the fact that the bo s dressed in the basement and had to run up 943 stairs (according to Manager Berg) to reach the gymnasium, inconveniently located on the sixth floor, it is little wonder that only a scattered handful of the more rugged type of boys were still going out for basketball at the end of the season. The squad, comprised of Ackley, Brown, Rotenberg, Nagel, Fones, Cooper, Levoff and Kerr, threw scares into the best of them, fighting hard at all stages of the game, upholding the age-old tradition of game, fighting, clean-playing teams at Commerce. Dicristoforo, Charles, Worthley and Woole er, according to the showing made this year, will no doubt also be wearing the green in the 1928 season. Forty • Baseball Hoot, mon, ' tis near as excitin ' as cricket, and look at the braw laddie hit the wee pellet. Noo he ' s runnin ' awa ' . Look, another laddie hit the pellet too; and heest ye, he ' s chasin ' the first of them roon the bags. What a din a ' the lads and lasses are makin ' . ' Tis a funny game, but a ' o ' them seem to get a thrill oot o ' it. This year Commerce started baseball practice with the largest turnout ever recorded for that or any other sport in this justly famous old place of learning. Coach Shield ' s proteges numbered around the forty mark, and therefore it was necessary to divide them into groups according to their ability. The team this year had four especially bright lights, all veterans from the 1926 team; namely, Nagel, first base and strong-man of the circuit ; Brown, the dependable second ba:eman; Riesland, left fielder, and the dimunitive Leveton, who was shifted from third base to center field and did amazingly well in that position. The remainder of the team, Berardinelli, Plouff, Dicristoforo, Ackley, Senner, Hen- derson, McCambridge, Woolever and Rice, though all new men, have worked hard enough to impress their ability on Coach Shields who had a hard job choosing the team from all the boys who have showed up so well. o o o Forty-one Track With their shirt-t;iils tUinsz ami toes dij. ' f:inf: the cinders, a few hoys at Commerce, once upon a time, won se en dual meets. Fwas the spring of ' 24 that the men of Commerce hroufjht honors to the Lemon and Green. However, graduation has taken its due toll in the old gang . In ' 25 and ' 26, the cross-country team made a total of eleven points in two years of entering the inter- scholastic annual meet. Through inoculation of the local press and through the calling of special assemblies, Mr. Elton aroused such enthusiasm among the boys that the largest number of track candidates in the history of the school turned out. The track program was dual meets with ancouver, Washington, Benson, Roosevelt, Eugene and Corvallis. This year twenty-five boys have reported regularly to Coach Carpenter at the Sunken Gardens . Carl Ayres, our javelin hurler, is captain; Page, Bobbitt, Hunsaker, Lewis, Mc Clure, Westerman, Lavell, Blaufus, Riikula, Le Claire, Holmes and Wilkinson form the nucleus of the team. Xurmi and Ritola , B. Taylor and K. DeLashmitt, are the sixty-pound track men who have perfected themselves in their daily task of carr -ing the javelin and shot to and from places of practice.
