So let us remember in labor or play, While the future before us unfolds That time so swiftly fleeting away, Must reveal a secret untold. In the present the seed of the future is sown, Each their own harvest must reap. Bringing their burden wherever they roam, The joy of success or the sting of defeat. Then let us be strong, forgiving and kind, That our laughter may ever ring true. The harvest of joy in this we will find, The glory that comes to the efforts of few. M. E. T., ’13. E. E. G. LLOYD S. BROWN, ’12 In September, 1908, the Cloverdale High School, greeted its largest Freshman class. We were a jolly band of nine girls and nine boys. (The girls were Florence Lile, Ethel Graham, Eve¬ lyn Smyth, Geneva Hale, Thelma Ingram, Lonie Allengrini, Lola Lea, Mabel Hill and Anita Grant, The boys were John Sink, Frank Belford, W. T. Brush, Delmar Yassar, Arthur Bolting, Melvin Ilotell, Joseph Rudee, Matthew Scanlon and Lloyd Browne.) From the beginning to the end of that term we worked with a will. We were not awed by our upper classmen as freshmen usually are but we soon got the run of things and settled down t o our share of the work. In athletics our class led from the start for we had with us Frank Belford, winner of a medal in the Dipsea, and also a good baseball player. W. T. Brush and John Sink were stars in the Basket Ball Team for the four years. The Girls’ Basket Ball Team also got their best material from our class in the persons of Ethel Graham and Anita Grant, In our Sophomore and Junior years we kept our lead in school activities although our number had dwindled to seven. Some members of our class held the highest offices m the O. V. L. Society, and during all this time we retained our place as stars in athletics. As Seniors, we lost two of our most valued class mates, Ethel Graham and Evelyn Smith, who entered Mission High School in San Francisco. But nevertheless our former influences still remained and we can not help but look back with pride to our achievements. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1912 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that we, the graduating class of June, 1912, of the Cloverdale Union High School, of the City of Cloverdale, of the State of California, of these United States of America, being of sound mind and full age, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testa ment; that is to say : 1.

We do will to the High School students the bust of Gaius Julius Caesar—on condition that they do not mutilate his be¬ loved countenance and that they show it the same respect that was shown it by the departing class. 4. We do will and bequeath to the aforesaid High School students our most valued prescription which we highly recom¬ mend for success in life: Rx. 16 oz. ambition, 12 oz. cheerfulness, 8 oz. laughter; dissolve in 10 oz. of studiousness.

The High School was put in the lower part of the building with the Grammar School up stairs. This gives all pupils having studies in the laboratory the advantage of not having to climb up and down stairs. Nothing seemed to have been forgotten. The stoves were removed and highly polished radiators took their places in each room. A great deal of painting had been done and the color scheme throughout the building was carefully considered. Agriculture is being introduced into the school and good progress has been made this year in all out-door studies. The Staff of “The Spectator” appreciates the good will of the many merchants who have advertised in the issue this year. Students can best repay the courtesy by patronizing those merchants who have shown themselves really interested in the Cloverdale High School. The Editor wishes to take this opportunity to thank the teachers and students for the efforts they have put forth to make this issue of “The Spectator” a success. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. High School Prophecy of 1912 One cold, dreary day as I sat dream r, ' beb.-rj the lire, I thought how mech I would like to kno v what all of my high school friends would be dome: twentv oars from now. Slowly I seemed to lose consciousness. Then I felt as if I was sinking, sinking, sinking m cold, cohl water. When I came to I was in a fisherman’s boat, which was rapidly rowing me r ' a near by shore. I sat up and my eves fe ' l on the face of my rescuer, for it was none other than one of the bright senior class, Frank Belford. We had only time to greet each other, when we reached the shore, where waited a noisy group of rosy facd youngsters, who greeted Frank with exclamations of delight. After introducing his brood to me, Frank led me to his little home, where I met the charming little mother of the noisy children. After we had finished our supper, we sat before the fire and talked of our school days. I asked him if he knew what had become of any of our old friends. He said that he had lost track of all but John Sink, who was fast accumulating a for¬ tune in the chicken business, on the island not far from where I was. It was said that he was disappointed in a love affair of his youth and so had isolated himself on this lonely island. 14 The next day he rowed me to a neighboring city and after taking me to a grand hotel bade me good-bye. That evening as I went down to dinner, whom should I meet but Charley Grant. After passing a few words with him I found that he was the owner of this beautiful hotel. I asked him how it was that Frank Belford did not know he was there and Charley told me that he only stayed at his hotel a few days in the year, spending most of his time traveling abroad. I asked him about my friends and he said that Norma Hurlbert had been a stenog¬ rapher in a brilliant lawyer’s office and had later married her employer. Maude Thompson had become a school teacher, and was teaching in this city. He gave me her address and, thinking that perhaps she could tell me of the rest of my pals, I went to see her. Maude had changed little in the years that had passed. She was still gay and full of fun and now much loved by her pupils. She told me that her old friend Florence Lile had become a world renowned singer. Genevieve Phelan had become very active in the literary world and her friend Zell Harwood, who had sought fame in auto races, was soon to be married to an automobile agent. Clara Orr was ambitiously leading the suffragettes’ cause in a large city, some distance away. Lloyd Browne had become world famous as a broncho buster, away off in the plains. W. T. Brush was doing well at pulling teeth. Gertrude Ludwig, who for some time had led a bright stage career, had married and was now the happy mother of four jolly youngsters. John Cooley was campaigning against Laura Endicott for the president’s chair. Nettie Beasley had married and was now travelling in Europe. Maude could tell me no more so, determining to find the rest of my friends, I told her good-bye. As I passed along the streets an enormous poster caught my 15 eye. “Ray Butler, champion ball pitcher, wins more laurels ’ I was not surprised at this for it had been prophecied in our school days. As I stood reading it. a familiar voice called, “Well, Cloverdale, how are you?” and turning, I beheld Zola Hotell dressed in the height of fashion and looking very happy and the young man with her she said was her husband. Nothing would do but that I should go home with them. As we walked along she told me what she knew of the old school chums. Jasper Miller was very busy in the dairy business, having be¬ come disgusted with the chicken industry while in Cloverdale. Ruth Belcher was now a leading member of the Pacific Tele¬ phone Company. Louise Wilson was a bookkeeper in a large wholesale store in San Francisco. Thelma Thompson was now running a millinery establish¬ ment and was called “Madame Clemente, from France.” Ruby Rolling and Elvinah Walker were becoming prominent chorus girls. Phillip Prell had become professor of German in a large and famous university. Lucretia Weythman was a trained nurse and a second “Lady Nightingale.” Elmer Thompson had become a motorcyclist and had gained great renown in these races. Luella Roberts had married and settled down in a little town called Laytonville. Marvin Read had become a famous architect and was known the world over. Lola Shelford, the last but not less loved of my school chums, had opened a girls’ boarding school which was fast winning renown. Then all faded from my view and suddenly the red glow of the fire brought me back to life again and, though it had only been a dream, I was satisfied to leave the lives of my friends as I had seen them. _ , 16 3lu ' (SHi Urn ' anil (iolb Near the glorious Russian River With its wealth of legend rare; As the school we all shall cherish, As the school to us so fair, We have seen her growth and progress And with spirit free and bold We declare our firm allegiance, To the Old Blue and Gold. While the grand historic river Rolls to the ocean wide, May reverses ne’er befall thee And misfortune ne’er betide; For our hearts are filled with gladness When thy banners we behold And we pray for countless blessings, To the old Blue and Gold. Though the years in quick succession Roll away to come no more And we wander, never straying Every land and ocean o’er. We will still recall with gladness Happy days we spent of old When we marched beneath the Banners of the Old Blue and Gold.

I was returning from an errand done in the service of the Red Cross and passed through the devasted area to the headquarters. I stepped from the boat to the Ferry Building with but few companions, and while they dispersed to their destinations in distant parts of the unburned suburbs, I gave the countersign to the sentinel and entered the burned out area. But few men have beheld a scene like the one I saw that night. Alone I passed among the ruins. Up Market Street I went where a week before life flowed in its fullness; now silent and covered with debris. Down this same Street we had marched on Saturday, the hot pavements and glowing embers reminding me that we had fought in vain for the preservation of the city. What a march that was! Every man was awed into a realization of his own insignificance. No sound save the swish and tread of our feet in the ashes. Each gripped his musket and choked down a sob as the tears came to his eyes. No soldiers ever felt a keener sense of defeat than we did on that Saturday marching through the ruins of the Beloved City we could not save. To the south of Market I cast a hurried glance. It was most¬ ly burned bare. The flimsy wooden structures had gone up like dried grass before the fire. In this part, on Wednesday morning, the soldiers and police had to exert themselves to their utmost to save the people. Westward, for a score of blocks from the waterfront a wall of roaring fire had driven the in- 18 1 nd to he •ea ■ry to , I Led lat t I mt iad ers ion red the his es. on Sty 3St- up lay ieir cks in¬ habitants out. Here the fire chief had lost his life in a ram¬ shackle building . Now nothing greeted the eye but heaps of twisted iron and cellar holes, all intermingled with ashes and dust. The utter ruin and desolation around me at that moment has seldom been seen by man. The ruined structures, bent, shatter¬ ed, twisted, and distorted by the destructive elements, suggest a world long since dead and forgotten. This effect was height¬ ened by a brilliant moonlight. The very Creator had forgotten this place, No sounds, no lights, not a living thing was there to suggest life had ever been in these desolate ruins. The rustle of the wind through the torn and broken structures seemed to be the whispering of spirits of beings long, long ago departed. Not a worm, not an insect, not a bug, not a bird, or mouse, not a blade of grass or any living creature sent forth its friendly greeting. It seemed as if I had landed in a dead planet to view the remaius of its departed life. On yonder walls the lights and shadows were the spirits of ladies in holiday shopping. The murmur of the wind on its ragged edge was an echo of their laughter and gossip. Yonder dark shadows were a group of fellows with more than they could carry. That falling brick was an echo of their discordant voices. The whistle of the wind through that arch was the song of the Salvation Army Lassie calling men from their lives of sin. I seemed to pass into a trance and see the old life be¬ fore me again, the busy city with its unending stream of life but all spectral and dim, a shadow life passing before my eyes. At last weariness caused me to turn away and as I left the desolation behind me the challenge of the sentry broke the spell. A. W. MILLER. 19 The Victory and the Girl ZOLA IIOTELL, ’14 It was one of those mornings in early February when the air is filled with a crispness that causes eyes to sparkle, the blood to rush through the veins, and make the step elastic with the very joy of living, that a group of boys stood talking and laughing before the laboratory door. “I say, have you heard the news?” inquired a tall, good natured looking youth, as he rushed up to the group. 44 What ' s the joke, Ray? Havn’t found a new girl have you?” asked one of the boys with a grin. 44 Girl! Fiddlesticks! Don’t you know that Dan has been expelled and now we will have no show of winning the pennant from Wilcox High again this year?” 44 What! Dan expelled! Impossible! Surely Prof, wouldn’t be so mean as that! What’s the row?” Came from the astonished group of boys. 4 4 He is mean enough, and furthermore he has already ex¬ pelled him. You know Dan had only one more chance, and that on good behavior, and now he has broken bonds, got into a scrape and that ended it. There isn’t another boy that can run as Dan can, and he was our only hope of victory over Wilcox,” explained Ray with a very dejected look, as he saw the other boys’ faces fall at the bad news. 44 What about Wilcox, and what’s the row, fellows?” asked Ned Anderson, a tall looking boy, who had come up to the gathering just in time to hear the latter part of the speech, and noticing the crestfallen looks of the boys. 4 4 Dan Nelson has been expelled, and there will be no hopes of the pennant being taken by one of our boys again this year.” explained Ray, as he took Ned by the arm and walked away with him. Ned was a new boy in the school, having entered at the beginning of the semester, and was rather ignorant about school happenings as yet. 20 “You see it was this way,’’ Ray went on to say as Ned asked Ray to tell him about it. “About four years ago. a crowd of fellows came from Wilcox High and stole our peon.ant from our campus, holding it as their trophy, and challenging our High to win it back by taking it in the mile run. So far, we have lost every year, but we had built high hopes of winning it this year as Dan was such a swell runner and now the Prof, had to go and expell him and we won’t get it back for another year,” Ray finished dolefully. “Can’t any of the Juniors enter, that want to?” asked Ned. an anxious look on his face. “Yes, but there isn’t any one to enter unless you are thinks ing of it?” came jokingly from Ray, then unexpectedly, “Say old man, didn t you tell me one time that you had gone in for the track before you came here?” “Oh, I used to practice once in a while with the rest of the fellows.” Ned answered slowly. “Would you enter again ” eagerly asked Ray. “I might,” answered Ned indifferently as he turned on his heel and walked away. At the ball game a week later Ned was chosen as referee It was just before the gam-3 commenced, and he stood fingering the ball lovingly and eagerly scanning the faces of the crowd, in hopes of recognizing the face of the girl whose friendship he coveted. At last he saw her among a circle of ardent admirers. A. pang of jealousy shot through him; and he bit his lips with the low expression. “You WILL be proud of me some day, if I have anything to say about it.” Just then the girl turned towards him and he gave a start of surprise. Surely she was wearing the pin he had exchanged with her, for he could dis¬ tinctly see the gold pin on the white sweater which she wore. How well he remembered the day when she had refusd to wear it again for she thought he was a traitor to his school. He could even now hear the words, “Here is your pin. I do not care to have anything to do with a boy that is not loyal to his school.” and himself saying as he drew himself up proudly. 21 44 Keep it, someday I will prove to you that you are wrong” and now she was wearing it again. The world seemed to have a bright aspect to Ned after that night of the ball game and he was inspired to train every spare minute he could find. It was the day set for the races. Ned had got up that morning feeling rather nervous and excited and now as he walked quickly to his place for the races he was saying to himself, “Steady, steady old man.” Now, all were in their places, and as the first shot broke the stillness away they flew, as if their feet had wings. “Wilcox High, Wilcox High” yel¬ led the rooters for Wilcox. “Go to it Ned!Go it!” yelled the other side, as Ned steadily gained on the Wilcox man. Around the race track they steadily came, the Wilcox man still in the lead, but with Ned close to his heels. As they neared the goal where hung the pennant the Wilcox man gave a sudden dash and seizing the pennant in his right hand rushed on, holding the pennant high above his head and leaving the astonished Ned quite a distance behind. The Wilcox crowd simply roared in their excitement, while the crowd on Ned’s side was not far behind them, for they knew they must encourage Ned at least. Ned heard the shouting and it gave him strength, for above all the shouting he fancied he heard encouraging words from a little black-eyed girl in a white sweater. Around the turn they came, the Wilcox man in the lead but with Ned steadily gaining ground. In the grandstand there was no noise now but all the people were leaning forward in their seats looking with straining eyes at the two boys racing- near the goal. The tenseness grew, until the very breath of the runners could be heard as they came nearer. On they came, Ned gaining and when in about ten feet of the goal Ned lunged forward, took the pennant from the Wil¬ cox man and finished the ground, falling into the arms of the joyous crowd at the goal. In the midst of the rooting Ned found his way out of the crowd and found himself face to face with the girl in the white sweater. 22 “Oh, Ned, it was simply glorious! she began eagerly, then seeing the anxious look on his face and misinterpreting it, she said “Ned, can you, and will you forgive me?” As they were surrounded again by the happy crowd he heard her murmur, “ I want to wear the pin again Ned.” and he smiled a charmingly happy smile. The Electric Transporter By JASPER MILLER. Having read a great deal of the Electric Transporter in the newspapers, I resolved to go to see it. So about a week ago I went to Prof. Barber, the inventor, and asked permission to see it work. He readily consented and took me to his work¬ shop, which was located in his back yard. The shop contained all kinds of electrical devices, too numer¬ ous to mention. The Professor showed me the Electric Trans¬ porter, which, from the outside, resembled an ordinary cabinet about seven feet tall having two doors. He explained fully how it worked; claiming that he could put an animal or human be¬ ing into one side of the cabinet and the animal or man would be reduced to a fluid, electrically transported over a wire, and at the other end be changed back to the animal or human shape again. In one side was the sending device and in the other side was the receiving. There was a cabinet at each end of the wire. With this device the Professor claimed that a man could step into the sending side of the cabinet, at San Francisco, turn on a switch, be reduced to a fluid, transported over the wire, and come out at New York entirely intact in the short space of fifteen minutes. He also claimed that he could send both ways at the same time over the same wire and there would be no danger of the travelers getting mixed. The Professor proceeded to show me how the device worked. He got word by telephone that a man was about to start 23 from New York. In order to demonstrate his last statement he placed a cat in the sending’ side of the cabinet. Turning on the electricity the Professor and I waited for the machine to do its work. But alas! even the best regulated machines fail to work properly. Imagine our surprise on opening the cabinet to find, not a man, but a hideous creature that was neither man nor cat but seemed to be a combination of both. He had the face and body of a man, but had ears like a cat, and fur all over his head. Here and there on his body were patches of fur. He had feet tnd claws like a cat. On stepping out of the cabinet the creature let out a yowl that would make an 7 bair-yard tommy jealous. Then it began to talk like any human being. It seems that the machine failed to work properly and the cat and man got mixed on the way, resulting in the creavure which we saw. An Old Clock s Story LAURA ENDICOTT, ’15 One New Year’s eve I was at home alone and was sitting by the fireplace reading. All was still but the snapping lire and the low, slow tick of the old, tall clock that stood in the corner of the large parlor. This clock had been in the family for years. ‘‘This is New Year’s Eve, Old Clock, can’t you talk to me and tell me something of your life? If you could only talk I know I would like you better,” said I in a half undertone. Then I sat gazing into the fire and to my surprise the ticks be¬ came words and this is what it told: “A hundred years ago tonight I landed on the wild shore of America. I was first kept in a log cabin. One night the folks all ran and left me alone. Than I saw the Indians were eying to set the house on fire, so I began to strike and they became frightened and ran, leaving our house and family unharmed.’ “ Several years later I crossed the mountains and settled 24 near a large river. I could look out of a window and watch the waves. I was the only clock in hundreds of miles so every one came to me for time. I felt so proud, I never told them wrong.’ “One time the Rebels were at our home trying to take every¬ thing. I began to strike and did so until I was superstitious. He thought this a bad omen, so they also left without anything. I have kept money hid for my owners many times. ’ “A few years later I moved to where I now stand and if I am not let run down, every New Year’s eve I will tell my story I love this family and if I am ever taken from it I will cease to run forever.” I sprang to my feet as it stopped talking, then ran to it and wound it. “Old Clock, I will see that you are wound regularly and that you never leave our family. I certainly do love you better as I know more of you.” Every New Year’s eve we assemble at the fireplace to listen to the old clock’s story at midnight, and I am sure none of us ever tire of it. Junior Class History NORMA HURLBERT, ’13 June 18, 1909, a class of twelve graduated from the eighth grade of Cloverdale Grammar School. Only seven out of the twelve who graduated entered High School. Others soon ent¬ ered which made our number, as Freshmen, thirteen. During our Freshmen year many of our number held offices in the 0. V. L. and some were on the Spectator staff. T � o of our boys took active part in athletics, one on the track and another on the basket ball team. After vacation when school started again, only ten came back and before the end of the term this number had decreased to five girls. Although our class is small, two of the five took part in the High School Commencement play. In the Junior year the five girls all came back again and we have proved ourselves “true blue,” as one of the girls is presi¬ dent of the 0. V. L. Society and the leading ladies of the play for this year’s Commencement program are irom the Junior class. We also have literary talent in our class. One of our number was elected Editor-In-Chief of the “Spectator” and three are on the staff. As our Junior year draws to a close, we look forward to a still brighter Senior year. 26 On August 15, 1910, a jolly band of boys and girls entered Cloverdale High School. They were immediately initiated into the 0. V. L. Society by the upper classmen. After an enjoy¬ able reception given at McCray’s Dance Hall, we settled down to earnest study. Several of the class went in for athletics, and took active part in 0. V. L. Society functions. The Editor of the Spec¬ tator was one of our boys. One boy was a prominent player on the Basket Ball Team while one of the girls did very good playing on the Girls’ Team. After a long vacation we returned to school, only thirteen coming back, five having dropped out. During the first sem¬ ester of our Sophomore year our number dwindled down to nine. One of our girls was chosen Captain of the Basket Ball Team while another was chosen manager. Of the boys, one was chosen as Captain of the Boys’ Basket Ball Team. The present Manager of the Spectator is one of our bright Sophomore boys. Z. M. II., ’14. 27 History of the Freshman Class On June 8, 1911, a class of fourteen graduated from Clover- dale Grammar School with great honors. Out of the fourteen graduates, eight of us, joined by two others from other schools, entered the Cloverdale Union High School on August 28, 1911. We were given a reception by the upper classmen, and at the first meeting of the 0. V. L. we were initiated into that society. After the Christmas vacation two more members became freshmen, making a freshman class of twelve,—three boys and nine girls. The Freshman class shines out brightly not only in class works but also in Athletics; two of our girls are on the Basket Ball team, one of our boys has been appointed Captain of the C. U. H. S. Baseball Team and another of our boys holds an honored place as a member of the “Spectator” staff. L. W., 15. 28 Recipes From the Domestic Science Class in C H. S. A. W.

Work alone would succeed only in making a one sided develop¬ ment. Then too, a little recreation once in a while tends to keep alive the interest of the pupils. For this reason we decided at the beginning of last year to have as many social affairs as possible without interfering with our work. RECEPTION TO NEW TEACHERS AND FRESHIES One of the most pleasing affairs given by the 0. V. L. Society was the reception given to the Freshmen and new teachers, on the evening of September 15, 1911, in Humbert’s Opera House. The hall was very prettily decorated in the Freshmen colors, interwoven with large festoons of pumpkin blossoms. Cards and dancing were enjoyed until a late hour when light re¬ freshments were served. THE BARN PARTY A very unique party which was carried out very successfully was the barn party given September 22, 1911. The scene of the revel was a large warehouse which had been changed into a beautiful bower of harvestrv. Good music, a fine floor and a jolly crowd of boys and girls made the evening pass very en- joyably. SURPRISE PARTY A decided change from the usual parties given by the school was the surprise party given to our schoolmate, Maude Thomp- 34 I red. Lop- eep 1 at ; as iety , on use. ors, irds re- ully the bo a id a en- son, at her home, October 24, 1911, in honor of her 18th birth- day. Games and good music added to the evening merriment. Late that evening dainty refreshments were served. Then showering upon Maude our best wishes and felicitations we departed. LEAP YEAR BALL The Leap Year Ball, given by the C. H. S., on January 11, 1912, in Humbert’s Opera House, was the most elaborate affair of the season. It was a great success, both socially and finan¬ cially. Two weeks beforehand, the girls worked hard in pre¬ paring decorations for the hall and in getting out some very effective posters, which were sent to neighboring towns as well as distributed at home. When the girls had finished with the hall it was completely transformed. Long streamers of crepe paper of our own school colors, palms and bamboo gave a pleasing effect. Signs were tpcked about on the walls which warned young men what would be their punishment if they forgot their Leap Year manners. Over seven dollars were col¬ lected in fines. One young man contributed to this fund nine times. Sixty couples “wove the magic maze” to the strains of the Royal Italian Orchestra. The stage was converted into a dainty little dining room where ice cream and cake were served. THE SOCIAL DANCE Another of our delightful dances was the social dance May 11, 1912, in the Opera House. The dance was given in order to raise funds for publishing of the “ Spectator. ” The refresh¬ ments were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The affair was a great success from start to finish. G. L., ’13 bool inp- 35 (§. u. ?£. Notes G. L., ’13 For the 0. V. L. Society the last year has been a success not only in a social way but in a business way as well. The semi¬ monthly programs have been greatly etijoyed. They have con¬ sisted of musicales, farces, studies of great men and various other forms of entertainment. THE C. H. S. GLEE CLUB It was through the efforts of the O. V. L. Society that a Glee Club was organized under the direction of Miss Jean Smith. The club has an excellent collection of music of the best com¬ posers and is now handling some very difficult pieces of music. CITRUS FAIR EXHIBIT The Society placed an exhibit in the Cloverdale Citrus Fair which won ninth prize. The design made of oranges, lemons and olives, bordered with trailing sprays of smilax, in the shape of the horseshoe of good luck for the 1915 fair, impressed many of the visitors with its appropriateness. THE COMMENCEMENT The program has been shortened as usual, to give plenty of time for the Senior farce, “Blundering Billie.” The cast is as folliws: Ezra Tuttle, a rich mine owner.Lloyd Browne Billy Butler, always in trouble.John Sink Lieut. Griswold, from Presidio Reservation.—W. T. Brush Sing Toy, a servant.Phillip Prell Hank Dibble, an old salt.Frank Belford Zorothy Tuttle, Ezra’s daughter...Nettie Beasley Woyo San, a Japanese girl.Gertrude Ludwig Clarissa Burnham, guest at “Strathmore”.Florence Lile 36 □t Li¬ n¬ ns ee h. n- ic. dr ns pe of ne ik sh ell rd ey ig ile Girls’ Basket Ball The Girls ’ Basket Ball Team was organized the last part of the first semester, with Lucile Brush, ’14, as manager, Louise Wilson, ’14, as captain and Genevieve Phelan, Anita Grant, Thelma Thompson and Marie Grant as substitutes for the other members of the team. On December the 9th our first game was played at Willits and we were defeated. Our second game was played at Lake- port with the town team. Lakeport won by a small score of 6 to 7. Other challenges were received by us from the Healds- burg, the Sonoma and the Geyserville teams but we could not accept them on account of having no suitable place to prac¬ tice. T. T., ’15. 37 Boys ' Athletics 1911-1912 Athletics in the school this year have been confined chiefly to baseball although several of the boys were interested in bas¬ ket ball during the winter. Bay Butler and Oscar Reger played at guard and forward positions on the Cloverdale “All Star” team and distinguished themselves by good work in several games. Let us hope that the High School shall be represented by a fast five next year. In baseball the C. U. H. S. team played three good games winning them all. The first was with Geyserville, at Geyser¬ ville, in which the School team won, 14 to 7. In the second game the school defeated Geyserville, at Recreation Park, by a 6 to 5 score. In the third contest the Cloverdale Merchants were defeated by a 2 to 1 score in a fast eleven-inning game. The success of the team lies chiefly with Captain Butler, who did some great work on the mound and proved to be the main strength of the team all round. C. IT. S. did not get organized in time to play our game with Healdsburg in the Sub-League of the Academic Athletic Lea¬ gue. Next year it is hoped that with so many veterans of this year ' s team back, the High School will be represented by a fast nine that will prove the winner in the Sub-League in the county. R.

The cuts though few were well drawn. . 44 Echo,” You undoubtedly did well in your first edition. We suggest that you have an exchange column instead of mention¬ ing the names of papers you have reecived from other schools, in your literary department. We congratulate you on the amount of musical talent you have in your school. 44 Sotoyoman,” Your papers are short but well arranged. You do well to get them out every month. We are always pleased to see you. 39 “Agricola,” We were very much interested in your first edition. We wish you success in the future. “Searchlight, ' ’ Your papers showed that you have excel¬ lent literary talent in your school. The December issue was especially good. You had a fine exchange column, but why did you put an advertisement on the outside of the cover? ‘‘Gold Pan,” We didn’t like the idea of putting a picture of the girls’ basket ball team at ' the Lead of the Josh Department. We think we should l:ave objected had we been on that team. We think It was very fitting for you to dedicate your paper to Bret Harte. “Pneus,” “A Political Crisis” is a very clever story. Where are your exchanges and index? The girls’ basket Dali team has done good work this year. N. T. B., ’13. Alumna? RUTH BELCHER, ’13 Jean Smith, ’93, is teaching in the Cloverdale High School.

S. desiring information regarding the subjects of School, Etiquette, Beauty Hints, etc. State questions briefly and clearly and you will receive as prompt answers as is possible among so many students. “Girlie’’—Under the circumstances it would be permissible for you to wear hair curlers to school, although it is customary to wear them only in your boudoir. J. S .—Yes 1 agree with you. Curly hair is attractive and especially to your type of beauty, but let me advise you to refrain from the use of irons, as it is very injurious to the hair. “Brown Eyes”— r lhe recipe you asked for, (Fallen Angel Cake), will be found under the “Domestic Science Class” in this issue. 2. “Red Bud” is undoubtedly the best. Phillip—I am sorry, but this department does not include poultry raising. Would, however, refer you to A. W. Miller or Lloyd S. Browne. Jasper—Certainly, “leap year proposals” are perfectly prop¬ er. You did right in consenting so readily. L. R.—1. Yes, if persisted in, exercises are the best thing. Rolling is highly recommended also. 2. It is quite proper (if your mother does not object) to correspond with the young man. 3. Ukiah would certainly make an ideal home. Norma—“Nil Desperandum.” Yes, many a happy marriage results from leap year proposals. Lola S.—No, I really would not advise you to go with the young man if your guardians object. 2. Although red hair is very becoming to some, under the corcumstances you might use a good hair dye. 44 F. L.—No, I would not advise 4 ‘picking posies” with a young man as proper conduct. 2. The cake recipe you want is given in this department under “Brown Eyes.” Charlie—1. No. 2. Yes, it is perfectly proper to leave May Baskets for your girl friends. No, I do not agree with you. Red roses are preferable to yellow. 3. Yes indeed, green sweaters are very much in style at present, and would be the right choice for light complected persons. Lucile—The following is a recipe which I am sure will prove a cure for freckles: Zinc Ointment.one dram Vaseline...2 drams Glue.1 oz. Massage this lightly into the face, then apply a thin solution of coal tar. One application will be sufficient. A. W. Miller—No, ten months is not too young for a child to cut its first tooth. Zell—No, I would not advise a Freshman to use too much powder, it is not good for the complexion. 2. Yes, {perfectly proper providing you don’t drive too fast. “Woyo”—I congratulate you on giving up your foolish idea for the stage. With your temperament, I am sure you would be much happier in a home of your own. 2. Yes, the engage¬ ment ring is worn on the second finger of the left hand. W. T.—No, don’t become discouraged if “Woyo” does not always have a smile for you. Of course it is all right for you to have several girls at once, but I would advise you to see that they reside in different places to avoid conflicts. Just for Information For those who intend to see New York this summer, these little hints before-hand might be of some use. To get an idea of New York, we first may imagine West Street to be Broadway, New York. The only difference be¬ tween these two streets is that Broadway is not quite so crowded as West street, and that there are a few more auto¬ mobiles, taxicabs, electric cars, elevated trains and, not to for¬ get, subway trains, below, on, and above West Street, than there are on Broadway. And then we might contrast the enormous builcfings, the sky scrapers of Cloverdale, such as the Hollaway and the Carico buildings, with the small and almost disappearing Metropolitan and Singer buildings of New York. Although New York may have the reputation of having some of the finest theaters in the world, yet, beside the magnificently designed and beautifully equipped Opera House of Cloverdale, they look like Nickelodeons. And their actors! New York claims to have the best to be found anywhere. The New York¬ ers ought to come to Cloverdale and see and hear some of our famous stars, who sometimes appear on the local stage (not the Booneville stage) and who cannot be rivaled in any part of the globe, not even in Ireland. And now come the Hotel accommodations which await the stranger in Cloverdale. These cannot be surpassed, for they make the Waldorf and the Astor Hotels in New York appear like fifteen-cent lodging houses. But when we think of John Cooley, who drives very easily with his large and comfortable limousine over the smooth and asphalt paved road toward McCray’s and of John D. Rocke¬ feller or J. P. Morgan, who are having great trouble with their “one-lunged” Reos while driving over the rough and muddy surface of Fifth Avenue, we have no desire whatever to leave Cloverdale.

WILLIAMS Sanitary Plumber Agent for the Aermotor Windmill and Pumps CLOYERDALE, CALIF. Not long ago a citizen of Hopland wending his way home¬ ward, track—from this side to that, muttering to himself and wondering what his wife would say about his condition and the lateness of the hour. He had reached the square. It was mi d¬ night, but the citizen did not know it for as he looked up at the clock in the steeple of the M. E. Church; the dial seemed to revolve like a buzz saw. “I’m drunk,” said the citizen, “drunk —too blamed drunk to see straight, but if that clock would strike I’m not so drunk but what I can count.” He sat down on the steps to think it over. Just then the clock began to strike. The citizen counted: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,—it mus’ be ’leven. ’Leven no, it’s twelve.” Just then the Presbyterian clock began—thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,—sixteen—‘ 4 Gee ’ ’—seventeen. “ D ’ye hear that ’ ’— eighteen. “Lord, but I’m full”—nineteen. “Holy smokes”— twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three—”-—, _” - twenty four. “Oh, but Mary will give it to me!
