Assistant Manager When school opened last August we found to our delight that the interior of the building was much improved. In the Assembly Hall the seats had been rearranged and single ones put in in place of the old double ones. A new electric bell system had been installed for the dismissal of classes and two new teachers were there to take up our school work with us. Through the efforts of our energetic principal we were received into the S. N. S. C. Debating League. The semi¬ annual track meet of the S. N. S. C. was held here last fall, a thing almost unknown in the history of our town. Not only has our beloved principal shown himself a true patriot in school affairs but our town has been benefited by his unceasing efforts. We take great pleasure in thanking the business men for placing their advertisements in our columns and ask that the students patronize our advertisers who have so generously patronized us. School spirit is a well worn subject but a few words will not be out of place. The spirit of patriotism shown by the large crowd attending the debate at St. Helena was greatly appreciated and we wish to thank all those who supported us there and also those men who so gladly offered their cars for this purpose. We extend our thanks to all who aided in placing the exhibit in the Annual Citrus Fair this year. Last, but far from least, we wish to thank the teachers and pupils who have so willingly assisted us in the publica¬ tion of this issue of the “SPECTATOR.” Jffantltxj Jflranria A. HMtr PRINCIPAL B.

O NLY seven of the pupils who graduated from the Gram¬ mar School in 1909 entered High School the following August, but these were so attractive that, inside of a week, six more from other localities had joined them and then there were thirteen. Since we are to graduate on Friday, June 13, we shall have the great honor of destroying forever the old super¬ stition of unlucky Friday and unlucky thirteen. This might be considered an undertaking too difficult for “just girls,” but we have already done so much in this direction that our ultimate success is practically assured. When we have ac¬ complished it we surely shall deserve to have a monument erected to our honor in the hall of fame. During the Freshman year the class showed such wonder¬ ful understanding of the attributes and appearance of the gods and goddesses in Classic Myths, that many of their doubles were recognized in the members of the class. Heald’s Hill became a veritable Mount Olympus Up-to-Date when we betook ourselves thither to hold our noonday sessions. In Algebra, we distinguished ourselves by solving the equation 17 which shows how fast a man must walk in order to meet himself coming back. We promised, however, never to let the succeeding classes know the answer but to let them have the pleasure of working it out for themselves. As Sophomores we made a record for murdering Caesar. We sincerely hope that the dear old hero did not mind it much, for, with all his subjunctives, and periphrastics and gerunds and gerundives, we loved him still. In geometry, we were satisfied to yield the honors to the Harvard lad who was mastering the mystery of the fourth dimension at the age of ten. Though past fifteen, most of us would have been perfectly contented to let even the first and second dimen¬ sions remain mysteries. By the time we had reached Chemistry all the boys had gone out to earn a living. Our instructor, being a married man himself, was fully aware of the importance of the prin¬ ciples of this science in managing a household and, conse¬ quently , taught them to us so well that by only a little special training we shall be perfectly competent to master the difficult art of housekeeping and to determine just how much food and what kind will be needed to keep in good humor a brain worker who spends all his time in earning money to pay for the gasoline and who takes no recreation except to drive the automobile for our pleasure. As we entered into our Senior year we realized we had even greater things to accomplish. The five girls all came back, thus proving themselves to be “true blue.” We knew that with the help of our teachers all difficulties could easily be overcome. We took so much interest in Physics, proved ourselves such students and advanced so quickly, that we soon knocked in the head such theories as Newton’s Law of Gravitation, Boyle’s Law of Pressure, and Archimedes’ Prin¬ ciple. In French, we have read a remarkably long list of books. We even followed with the keenest sympathy the wanderings of Tyltyl and Mytyl in their search for the Blue Bird. Their innocent prattle in this musical language so charmed us that we decided to commit to memory the whole first act. Though we have enjoyed the sincerity and the 18 moral earnestness of Carlyle, the incomparable oratory of Burke and the wisdom of immortal Shakespeare, yet we all agree that Milton is our favorite. The grace of his exquisite verse and the refrain of his sublime sentiments will linger forever in our minds. Much as we have accomplished in this line, we have not given all of our time to book learning. Our class has always taken active part in society work, athletics and debating. During the four years many of us have held offices in the 0. V. L. Society. Two of our boys took active part in athletics, one on the track, another on the basket ball team. Two years ago, at the Petaluma food and Poultry Show, one of our girls took first prize for the best drawing exhibited from the high schools of Sonoma County. A member of our class was this year on the debating team, and I am sure they will hate to lose her now that her high school career is ended. Although our class is small, two of the five have taken leading parts in the Commencement play, for the last two years. As we look back over the four years that have gone, we remember not the trials, not the troubles and not the failures, but only the joys, and the triumphs. (Class Will M. T. and R. B. ’13. E, the sedate and industrious class of 1913, do realize that we are about to depart from our days of learning in these halls. For the personal benefit of those left behind, e do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament. First:- We lovingly bequeath to the Faculty, as a body, our studiousness and ability to be used as an example to future classes. To Mr. White, principal, a wish for his future success as well as that of the school and a desire that he appoint the 19 “Freshies” to replace the books in the library after the upper classes are through with them. This will improve the appear¬ ance of the table in Assembly Hall. To Miss Pierson, Class Teacher, we bequeath, to have and to hold, sincere thanks and deep love and gratitude for all that she has done for us. Also the statue of Julius Caesar to adorn the library in her “Old Maid’s Paradise’’ Miss Seidl will find bequeathed to her, upon our departure, a phonograph, with a record entitled “Stop Talking,” to be used in the Assembly Hall. She will find with these some new drawing models; we realize the imperfection of the old ones. Second:- To the Juniors we leave the row of shining thrones, situated on the western side of Assembly Hall. Also our titles, with the hope that they will preserve the dignity of the Seniorship by not allowing themselves to be influenced by lower classmen. Third:- To the Sophomores, we especially bequeath the record of this class of 1913 for good behavior. Fourth:- Freshmen, we bequeath to you the supply of bottles and bibs at present in the “Lab.” to be bestowed in turn upon your successors. Fifth:- For “The Spectator” we leave an ardent hope that it will attain a most brilliant reputation. Sixth: To the 0. V. L. Society we solemnly bequeath our talent heretofore displayed at its programs. We dispose of our personal property in the following manner: I, Gertrude Ludwig: do desire, on account of the uncer¬ tainty of my remaining here, to make my last will and testa¬ ment. To Willie Ahrens, I give my musical talent and hope he will not neglect to make good use of it at the semi-monthly pro¬ grams. To my dear friend, Lucile Brush, I will my “blazer” and request that when she makes her will she leave it to the school as a relic. My favorite expression, “Oh, Man!” I wish to bequeath to Zola Hotell. I, Norma Hurlbert, on this solemn occasion also wish to make a will. My inexhaustible supply of “I cant’s” I leave to Myrtle Read and hope that by patience she may overcome them. My record in typewriting I leave to Philipp Prell and 20 do request that by practice he keep it up. The position I occupy on the staff I request be given to the best friend of the next Editor. I, Nettie Beasley. The position I hold on the debating team I bequeath to Joty Sedgley and desire that it be filled with ability as heretofore. My “frizzes” I leave to Dolores Murillo and only ask that she wear them becomingly. The love I have for Latin I wish to go to the first year class and hope that they may then make better progress. I, Ruth Belcher, desire also to make my last will and testa¬ ment. To Willie Cooper I leave my sweet disposition and winning smile. My English notes I bequeath to Marie Grant so that, “She shouldn’t worry” when she becomes a Senior. Marvin Read, you will find small change in my desk with which to purchase red ink and blue pencils for the Faculty. I, Maude Thompson, do hereby leave my dark brown hair to Helen Carrie in hopes that some day it will prove of service to her. My position as A 5 in Senior Row, I cheerfully leave to John Cooley, while the collection of pencil stubs that I have accumulated during the term, I leave for the secretary of the 0. V. L. Society. We appoint F. A. White of the State of California, County of Sonoma, and city of Cloverdale as chief administrator of this, our last will and testament. To this we have set our hands and affixed our seal this tenth day of May, in the year of our graduation, nineteen hundred and thirteen. Signed: Class of 1913. [Seal]. Gertrude Ludwig. Norma Hurlbert.

X T is now the summer of 1933, I am sitting in my pleasant little cottage in Victoria Land, just ten miles from the North Pole, enjoying the refreshing breeze. You all remember Charlie Grant. Well, while he was working in the drug store and experimenting with ozone, he found that it was indeed the long sought elixir of youth. The next question was how to obtain it in large quantity. After long thinking, he decided that it must be found in abundance at the North Pole and so he engaged Joty Sedgley, who in his younger days was very sedate and dignified but who later became a most intreped explorer, to help him find it. Joty hastily set out for this country. His eye for business told him that with Charlie’s discovery a fortune was in sight for both, so he bought one thousand square miles of this per¬ petual ice. He then came home and told John Cooley about it. Together they established an airship factory. John soon improved upon the Wright models until he had a machine that could travel from Cloverdale to the North Pole in two hours. He has already sold one hundred thousand of these machines in various parts of the world and his fortune is now estimated at $100,000,000. Joty is selling his lots at a fabulous price for all the millionaires of the world are deter¬ mined to have an ice palace in this exclusive spot. With John’s ship they can carry on business in London, Paris, and Berlin and come up here to rest and take Charlie’s elixir, which, even if it can be taken for only two hours during twenty four, gives youth, freshness and perfect health. From all present indications the first generation that takes advantage of this wonderful discovery will live to be at least two hundred years old, while no one can conjecture what will be the ultimate length of life. I have been here only one month and already feel ten years younger. 22 Which two of the high school girls are sharing these for¬ tunes with Joty and John I will leave you to guess. Helen Carrie is Governor of the colony. She enjoys it very much because she has to attend to the office only three months during the year and can play hockey all the rest of the time. Nettie is Attorney-General. She comes up from Cloverdale every morning. Her reputation in the debating contest of 1913 was what gave her the majority over the other popular candidate, Goldie Hale, who holds the degrees of J. D. from Berlin as well as from Yale. Cyril Browne, the President of the United States of the World has a wonderful summer mansion only a mile from here. His sister presides over it, for Cyril is a bachelor. He flirted much and long with many renouned beauties but, when he finally decided to settle down, he remembered the bright eyes and raven tresses of one of his high school friends. He searched everywhere and after two years found her singing the leading part in Willie Ahren’s new opera “Graziella” which was creating a furor in grand opera circles in Paris. But Dolores was wedded to her art, so Cyril had to go home again alone. His heart was so completely broken that, although many have tried to heal it with their millions of gold, yet he still remains disconsolate and lonely. Three o’clock p. m., I am in New York where I have come in my airship this afternoon. I got one of the latest papers and, much to my sur prise, the head lines read, “Miss Myrtle Read, A Rival of Homer and Virgil.” It told how she had begun in a little school in Central California but had been able to win this honor by having been so studious during her first year in Latin. On another page of the same paper I found where Maude Thompson had become famous for aero¬ plane racing. She had broken the record by flying round the world without stopping. Seven p. m., I am now in Berlin. When I stopped for re¬ freshments a little while ago, whom should I find as the prop¬ rietor of this elegant hotel but Phil Prell. His wife runs the hotel during the day while he teaches English in the Univer¬ sity. We had quite an interesting visit and, when I inquired 23 if he knew anything of the other schoolmates, he told me that Norma Hurlbert was teaching music in San Francisco and that he received letters from her every now and then. He also said that Willie Cooper owned a large stock ranch out in Arizona. Marvin Read was a famous lawyer in New York. As we were talking, in walked what seemed to be a society belle and, upon registering her, Philipp found that it was Gertrude Ludwig. She told us her voice seemed to be giv¬ ing out and, as she was tired of grandeur and traveling, she was going back to Cloverdale. I told her of Charlie’s great discovery and, as I was going to start home soon, she decided to go with me. She said Genevieve, like Cyril, had never married and was soon to become a Ph. D. Marie Grant had lately settled down. Her husband, an elderly philosopher, had built a little home in the air and both were as happy as birds. Lucile owned a confectionery store in the city of Fulton but she expected soon to change her name and adopt that of one of her old friends who had lately retired from business, having made his fortune in vegetables in our old home town. Nine p. m., we are taking an aeroplane for home as I have left mine to be fixed. Who do you suppose is the driver? Why, Ruth Belcher. She is now ex-Governor of California and, seeking a higher position, has taken to the air. We are fly¬ ing slowly and talking over old friends and the days we spent in Cloverdale. Eleven p. m., Home, sweet home, we have reached it again. The midnight sun is casting its soft light upon the mountains of ice and fields of snow. As the changing colors shift and gleam, we see before us the sublime work of the Master artist whose canvas is the universe and whose colors are living light. But who shall say that the picture that lives again, as the light of the friendships of the old school days glows in our hearts, is not even more beautiful than that which covers earth and sky? 24 Stitprary A lariug ISjnl up G. P. ’15. l ELL, the cup is ours!” said John, “and we certainly U worked hard enough to get it.” “Yes, I’m proud of you boys and Nettie, too,” I answered. After much talking and hurrahing over our debate we fin¬ ally left St. Helena on our homeward journey, making as lit¬ tle (?) noise as possible, for fear of waking the snoozing farmers. We reached “Knight’s Canyon,” and, just as we were rounding a bend in the road, three rough looking fel¬ lows jumped from the side of the road directly in front of the fast moving automobile. “Hold up here, we want that ere cup, you fellows won in St. Helena.” We did not have the heart to run the men down, so the only course left open for us was to stop the machine. “John, slip me that box of tires under the seat and I’ll slam them one,” whispered Charlie. “Oh, oh,” screamed Nettie, “They’re really going to take our cup, Mr. White, do something quick.” I, thinking it was only some of the boys playing a joke on us, was not in the least alarmed, so I reach¬ ed over to the place where I had put the cup and was about to pick it up when one of the fellows covered me with a gun and said, “None of that! Give up that cup or it will be the worse for all of you.” Well, what could I do? There was not one of us that had any sort of weapon and, besides, we had three women to de¬ fend. This situation did not strike me as humorous. 25 “Ouch,-it! the fool girl stuck a hat pin in me. Come here, Jim, it’s clean through my arm, help me get it out,” shrieked one of the ruffians. “You fool, I told you not to try any monkey tricks, why did’nt you keep away from the car, as I told you?” Now all this happened in a much smaller portion of time than it takes to tell it. “Sit still,” commanded the leader of the gang, “and I’ll relieve you of the cup. We want it; it rightly belongs to us, so we’re goin’ to have it,” Covering us with his gun, he walked slowly forward and from the cor¬ ner of my eye I could see John rise and make ready to jump over the side of the machine. “Git back there,” cried one of the fellows. “Hey, Jim, this kid’s out of the machine, shall I fix him?” “Yes, go ahead.” The fellow hit John a clip between the eyes, knocking him senseless. “Just a minute boys, I should like to say a few words be¬ fore we deliver over the cup to you, ” said Charlie, and he began repeating his speech for the debate in a low monoto- uous voice. “Well, of all things!” The men stood speech¬ less with amazement. One of the women of our party began to laugh and cry hysterically. Something must be done im¬ mediately, so, opening the door of the car, I stepped out and confronted one of the men. He rushed up and attempted to strike me, but I tripped him and he fell, hitting his head upon a jagged rock, which knocked him unconscious. Before I could turn around another fellow was at me from behind showering blows upon my back. Suddenly a shrill whistle was blown by the leader of the crowd and immediately five men rushed from the side of the road where they had been hidden. By this time John had recovered and Charlie, the chauffeur and another fellow who was with us jumped from the machine and started to fight. That made four of us against seven. Well, I knocked two out right away and a third was struck down by John. “Hey,” cried Charlie, “there isn’t one of these fellows that’s armed, this guy here, has only a stick and we thought it was a gun.” 26 I felt a reeling sensation, but determined to hold out. I hit at one fellow and, missing my footing, fell and began roil¬ ing down the hill. I could see that there was only one left of the opposing party and all our crowd were sitting in the automobile laughing at my predicament. Suddenly the re¬ maining enemy began running after me, but I kept rolling and rolling, always keeping about three feet ahead of him. “Well, I ' ll fix you,” he cried and, picking up an immence stone threw it at my head. “Well, oh ! what’s this?” I sat up on the floor, the bed clothes dragged from the bed and a pillow on my head. “Oh. a dream.” But we did win the cup even though we didn t get held up. Don ' t ever again tell me dreams aren’t true well, that’s so, this one was only half true. 31jr ®ari y Amtiurrsaru (Sift NORMA HURLBERT, ’13. H s twilight approached old John Cape feebly climbed the long flight of stairs to the top of the light-house. He seated himself on the low bench and began polishing the glass of the faithful old lamp. At last he had it lighted and a bright gleam fell on the water. Usually old John felt hap¬ py to see that gleam pierce the darkness, but to-night it seemed to reach out indefinitely and, as he stood there, he heaved a deep sigh. He turned around sharply and his eye fell on the calendar. To-day was the third day of March. Like a flash the old man’s face brightened. If we listen very closely we will hear him say, “March third, 1912. Just fifty year ago to-day, Marthy and me was married. I have done all I could for her and like’s all she has forgot ' bout this bein a day to celebrate. I ain’t got no gold to give her but we’ll do somethin ' in the line of celebratin’. At this the old man lighted the little lantern, gave a last look at the big light and started down stairs. 27 When he entered the room where his wife sat she looked up and noticed a peculiar expression on his face. “What’s the matter John, you look so happy?” Carefully John put the lantern down and went over to her. “Marthy do you remember when you first came to this place? You used to get lonesome and cry and I got lonesome, too. Do you re¬ member all the dangers we’ve seen each other through ? And Marthy, to-day we have been married fifty years. I jest thought of it when I was lightin’ that ere lantern. I guess like’s not we’ll have to get out our boat and go over to town tomorrer and kind er celebrate.” Fondly the wife looked up into his face and said “Yes, John, we’ll go to town and like’s not we’ll stay, as I got a letter from sister Mary sayin’ as she heard we was to leave here and a Mr. Pope would take our place. We might as well begin to pack up now. John protested against packing on their anniversary but Martha said the letter was a week old when she got it and no telling when the new keeper would come. Finally John gave in to his wife, as most men do in time, and together they be¬ gan the task. It was very late when Martha said she thought all was packed that they could get along without and the old couple went to bed only to dream of the separation from their beloved home. Neither John nor Martha woke until an hour later than usual the next morning. While they were eating breakfast a launch stopped at the landing and a tall gentleman stepped out and approached the door. John and Martha greeted him cordially and invited him to have breakfast. Soon he told them he was the new keeper and he was going to stay with them two weeks while he learned what he was to do. He then departed saying he would return in the afternoon. Until now John and Martha had not fully realized the situ¬ ation. They had hoped that it would prove untrue. Now the dreaded day was coming all too soon, yet what could they do but submit and make the next two weeks worth being re¬ membered? The last day of the two weeks is dawning and we see the 28 old couple and the stranger eating breakfast. Again the launch comes and the Inspector steps out. He asks Mr. Pope if he is ready to take charge of the light-house and tells John and Martha to get their things together and he will take them over to the city. Mr. Pope saw at a glance the utter disap¬ pointment in the faces of the old people and said, I think, Mr. Page, the present keeper is doing all that is necessary. If it is just the same to you, I had rather the present keeper and his wife would stay.” Mr. Page seemed astonished but merely said, “Very well, Mr. Pope you will go back with me.” They rose to leave and, as they shook hands with the old man and his wife the y noticed tears in the eyes of each. As soon as the door closed behind the strangers, Martha and John hurried up stairs to the old light. Together they stood by the big window, John’s arm around his wife, silently watching the launch glide away over the waves until it was lost in the fog. It seemed to the old couple standing there that the launch was bearing all their troubles away. iflalar olntr MYRTLE READ, ’16. e REAT was the excitement in Atlanta when news was received of the capture of Fort Sumter. Many men and boys were making preparations to join Jefferson Davis, for it was conceeded that there would be a war between the North and the South. Dr. Langley and his family were discussing the probable effects of a war at the breakfast table. Harry was unusu¬ ally quiet. Suddenly he spoke, “Father I am going to the war .’ 9 Mrs. Langley and Ada turned pale but Mr. Langley ans¬ wered, “Certainly, my boy, I will not stop you if you wish it. There is nothing like serving your country. Will you join Lee or Davis V 9 29 Harry’s face flushed and he said in a low though steady voice. “I will join McClellan.” For a minute the doctor did not speak. Then he said cold¬ ly, ‘‘When did you make this hasty decision?” ‘‘It is not a hasty one, father,” answered Harry, “I have been thinking of it for the last week. We all know that war will soon be declared and many of my friends are going to help the South. I, at first thought to join with the South but it has been growing upon me that the South is wrong to try and secede from the union. Try as I may, I cannot rid my¬ self of that thought, so I have decided to join the North.” ‘‘You are only twenty Harry and until you are twenty-one I have control over you. You shall not join the Federals. ” ‘‘Then sir I will remain at home,” answered Harry, but there was a determined look in his eyes which his father did not see. After breakfast Harry went into the library and a few minutes later Ada followed him. ‘‘Harry, you won’t join the North will you?” she asked, ‘‘Ada dear, I must, I cannot stay at home, neither can I help the South in their outra¬ geous plans against the government.” Standing together the two looked greatly alike. Both had brown hair, deep blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Their features were also similar although Harry’s were coarser than Ada’s. Harry’s nature was strong and determined and once he reached a decision nothing could turn him from it. Ada’s was a more refined nature, although it was greatly like Harry’s She had an amount of courage quite unusual in a girl. Harry was two years the oldest. The next morning Harry did not come in. A servant was sent to call him. He soon returned with the startling news that Harry was not there and the bed had not been slept in. They rushed up stairs to find that all he said was true. Harry’s revolvers and rifle were gone and also some of his clothes. On the dresser lay a note. Dr. Langley opened it and read: Dear Father: You would not give me your consent to join the Union so I am going without it. I will stand by the Stars and 30 Stripes as long as I live. Forgive me, father, I am trying to do my duty. Give my love to Ada and mother, and oh, father, if I never come back don’t forget your only son, Harry. Harry’s horse was gone. Great was the grief of Ada and Mrs. Langley but the doctor was very angry. A week later Ada announced her intention of becoming a nurse as she had had some experience in that line. Her de¬ cision could not be moved and fearing that she would do as Harry had done she was allowed to go. She joined the hos¬ pital squad that followed behind Lee’s army. Harry had gone to General McClellan who put him under General Hooker. It was after the battle of Antietam. Many wounded were brought in some of them Northerners, and prisoners. Ada was taking bandages to a surgeon as a wounded Northerner was being brought in. Ada glanced pityingly at him, then her face turned white as death and she almost dropped the bandages, for she recognized in the blood stained face her brother Harry. With a great effort she recovered her self possession and delivered the bandages. She watched where they laid him and then went on with her work. He had a shot through his left arm and a deep gash on his head and had fainted from pain. He soon recovered and looked around him. He wondered who the nurse was across the aisle, who looked so familiar. Suddenly she turned and gazed straight into his eyes. There seemed to be a warning in hers and though he recognized her, made no sign. She leaned over and readjusted the bandage on his arm. He felt a paper touch his hand and he closed his fingers upon it. It was a short note telling him to act as though he did not know her. Harry was in the hospital for two weeks. At the end of that time his wounds were healed. From the hospital he was supposed to go to the prison. Many notes passed between Ada and him and they had arranged plans for his escape. These plans were hazardous, yet possible. The wounded men often walked out for fresh air and when the prisoners went a nurse went with them. No especial 31 I bounderies were fixed. No one wondered therefore when Harry and Ada walked from the ward together although many wondered at the great likeness between the two. Harry came back alone. He went into the ward and crawled into bed. Late that night a woman jumped out of the bed with a bundle of men ' s clothes in her hands. It was Ada; Harry had escaped. When his disappearance was noticed they suppos¬ ed that he had slipped away in the night. McClellan ' s army was near and Harry soon rejoined his regiment. Ada and Harry did not meet again until after the war was over and they both went home, but their love for each other had greatly increased. Dr. Langley saw the wisdom of Harry ' s decision and freely forgave him. Their old life went on as before with only a little difference for Harry was taken into partnership with his father. Ada and Harry never for¬ got the danger which they had shared, and Ada never regret¬ ted the one time when seeming to be false, she had been true. A utrat If nr (Emtragr GERTRUDE LUDWIG, ’13. D OWN the broad street of College Avenue sauntered Cora Kinnear, in School girl fashion, with an idle gait and carrying several books under one arm. Close behind her came Jack Norton of the same U. of C. As they trudged on to the University, Jack quickened his pace and caught up with the girl. “Ah’’ he said, with a bow and tip of his cap, “a lovely morning. Miss Cora.” “Delightful,” she responded smiling. “May I have the pleasure?” Jack begged in a most charm¬ ing manner, as he took her load of books and placed them with his own. They walked on with hurried steps for half a block when another boy crossed the street and passed these two. Cora gave a most facinating smile and a nod of her curly head as she bade Dick “Good Morning.” Dick’s lips mumbled something of like nature to Cora but passed Jack 32 with his head tossed high in disdain and jealousy. “The fiend!” he hissed, looking back to catch another glympse of them now rapidly disappearing in the distance. “To think, that after we’ve been friends so long Jack’d try to cut me out.” No response came to him, except the dull, hollow echo of his own words. “But he shan’t succeed. I’ll make him look like a nickle in the rain in her estimation when I’ve finished with him. Thinks he’s pretty big ’cause he’s a stuck up half back in the Rugby game of tomorrow. The way those fellows follow him about makes me sick. And now he can win Cora over, too,” and his eyes glared in fierce hatred at his class mate. Dick hurried on in his anger. At last he paused before a fine, big bungalow: he turned, looked in all directions, then ran up the walk and took the steps, three at a time. He had already brought forth a bunch of keys; by the use of a skele¬ ton dangling from the ring he gained admittance into Jack’s den. Once inside, he paused to reflect. Should he. or should he not proceed to carry out his plan? “Thunder,” he argued, “Dick did wrong by me, and I’ll only repay him. All’s fair in love and war, they say, and I reckon this is some of both. ” No sooner said than done. Jack walked over to a shelf and brushed aside a pennant covering the enclosed place where was hid the secret code. Down went his hand into the cavity and up came a small tin box. “Lucky for me that I know where Dick conceals you,” he said, giving the box a strong grasp with his hand. “Now. down to business.” Several papers were pulled out and laid upon the library table. On the very bottom lay the cherished slip. His brow was wet with cold perspiration and his hands trembled as he unfolded the secret calls that the team was going to use for tomorow’s game. Dick spread it out before him. His eyes blurred as he strained forward to get a better view and read in a hoarse voice, “2—pack forward. 4—long kick ’cross field; 6—pass to to left wing from scrum; 7 pack to the left wing; 8—pack to the right wing. Secrets,” he sneered, “well, they shall 33 not remain so long. By tomorrow the whole town shall know Dick Norton ' s calls, and the Greenville fellows by that time, shall have carried home the bacon. Dick sat down quite exhausted, and took out his fountain pen and a sheet of paper. In a hurried scrawl he copied off the calls. He glared in hate¬ ful satisfaction as, sealed in an envelope, he dropped them into the box just outside. The following morning gave promise of a perfect day. The air grew soft and balmy. A long time before noon crowds of people and machines had been gathering to witness the game. The Greenville team had come over the night before and, from all indications, it was going to be a lively game. At two sharp, a coin was tossed. A few minutes later the forwards had formed in the scrum and Jack, the half-back, had taken his place behind them. Then came a moment of dead siience. A cheer arose as the fullback started the ball from the kick off. Six, came the call of the half-back. The opponents knew the call and played accordingly. Two.’’ Greenville was there. Eight. The men were ready. Put him out! shouted the crowd in unison. From among the spectators Dick sitting by Cora ' s side glared and snickered in fiendish delight. Something ' s wrong, Cora faltered. Why, Jack never played that way before. “Mighty poor play on the part of U. C., I tell you what, Cora.” Cora gave no response but watched every move in the game. There ' s foul play somewhere, she cried, I know it, Jack. Oh Jack, we must win She left the stand and ran along the outside field lines. She had not gone far before she stumb¬ led over a coat lying outside of the lines. In doing so she gave it a kick, which forced some papers out of the pockets. Well, I must stop to put them back, Cora murmered softly, even though, they do belong to an opponent. They might be of some importance. And she replaced them one by one until a single paper remained outside. This had un¬ folded itself and lay open before her. 34 “2 pack forward; 4 long kick ’cross field; 6 pack to left wing from scrum; 7 pack to the left wing; 8 pack to the right wing.” she read. ‘‘What! These are Jack’s calls. Can it be? No, he wouldn’t sell his calls and be a traitor. But there is no mistake. They are Jack’s calls. Not his writing, though. How came they to be here? I’ll find out.” She ran swiftly to the lines. ‘‘Referee! Referee!” she call¬ ed, and held aloft the tiny slip of paper. ‘‘Another gone, sure,” the referee grumbled to himself. ‘‘Hey, lady, don’t you know I can’t stop to fool? ‘‘You must call off that game. They’ve got our calls! Take this, read it.” A piece of paper was forced before his eyes. “Jumpin’ Jehosophat! Where’d this come from?” ‘‘Call off the game first, then I’ll tell you.” The whistle blew shrilly. To everyone’s surprise the game was called off in the midst of one of Greenville ' s best plays. Both captains sauntered up and asked the cause. ‘‘Cause? cause enough when you have practised with our calls. Deny it, if you can, she cried. ‘‘Here is my proof, and the con¬ tents of the paper were read aloud to the amazed group. The U. C. men fell back in astonishment. Jack was too much overcome for speech. One and all looked at the half-back with a piercing glance. Then Jack was seized by the collar and roughly jerked through the hissing crowd to a place of confinement, where, apart from the rest, he could watch the turn of the game. After that all went wrong for U. C. With Dick acting as substitute they could never win. Green¬ ville scored point after point. Meanwhile Cora had hastened as fast as the car could take her to Jack ' s den, Letters, post cards, essays and an endless variety of specimens of Jack’s writting were on the table. Cora picked them up and compared them with the paper be¬ fore her. None were like it, ‘‘Innocent,” she laughed glee¬ fully. ‘‘But hold! What’s this? A post card.” To Mr. John Norton 23 College Avenue, City. ‘‘The very likeness! Same handwritting, same pen and the 35 very ink! Who wrote it? The card was turned and after a close examination she found ‘ ' Dick” written across the picture. “It’s Dick! She almost fainted from the shock. Her bright eyes stared vacantly into space and the card dropped from her hand. “I can’t do it!” Never till then had she re¬ alized how much Dick’s friendship meant to her. Now she saw that unconsciously she had allowed him to become the one friend that meant more to her than all the world beside. Then, like a flash, she remembered the jealous look that shot from his eyes when she and Jack met him yesterday. “Can it be that he has taken this way to rid himself of an imagi¬ nary rival?” The halo of admiration, which had blinded her eyes to his faults, vanished as if by magic and she saw that, after all, there had been an absorbing selfishness at the bot¬ tom of even those deeds which had before impressed her as being noble. She understood his scheme now and she real¬ ized that nothing but the most prompt action on her part could save the day for U. C. She knew that he was guilty, but her woman’s heart still refused to realize it. The ideal that had been cherished there could not be so quickly destroyed, even by the cruel proof of undisputed fact. “But I must! I must! The truth must be known!” Out of the house she ran and jumped into the waiting car, which was soon speeding to¬ ward the field. Once more the referee was summoned. Cora handed him the two specimens of handwritting and then, pale and silent, she turned away unable to bear what she knew must be the result. Suddenly she thought of Jack and determined to find him. The fellows had crowded around the referee anx¬ ious to find out who the traitor might be. “Dick” came with one accord as the signature on the card was examined. “Take this man out fellows and bring Jack back. He’ll take the old calls and win the game for us yet. Say Miss Cora . ” But Cora was gone. Looking across the field, they saw Jack and by his side was the girl who had dared to do right at all costs. He was com¬ ing back to lead the fellows on to victory. 36 A Surprise Party JOHN COOLEY, ’14 e ID-DAP” said Mr. Long, after the last happy picnicer had climbed into the great hay wagon. The merriest crowd of boys and girls in the county was off on what prom¬ ised to be the most delightful picnic of the summer. Every¬ thing was perfect; the air was still and warm; the moon would be up in time for the ride home; enough food for a regiment was safely stowed away under the seat and, what was best of all, they were bound for the old mill, the finest place for a picnic in all the country around. Of course each one was sit¬ ting on some one else ' s hand or foot, but no one cared. The hay was deep and the road was smooth. In what seemed an incredibly short time they arrived at the mill and, after everyone and everything had been taken out, Mr. Long drove back to town. He would return for them later in the evening. Various duties were soon assigned to the different ones. Three of the girls were to spread the table, a few more to ar¬ range the food, and two boys were appointed to get water for coffee. Another pair of boys were detailed to gather wood for the fire. Here’s where the fun began, for, after walking about two hundred yards, they ran plump into a rail fence. There was no prospect of wood on their side, so over they went. Frank landed safely, but Joe caught his coat on a knot on the top rail, and there he hung. “Help me down, Frank,” he yelled, but his yell didn’t have the effect that he expected. Instead of bringing Frank to help him, it roused two large dogs, which immediately run down the field towards them, barking and growling. Frank lost no time in getting over the fence again, while Joe frant¬ ically kicked at the dogs until an irate farmer appeared and called off his pets. 37 “What are you rascals doing on my property ?” he demand¬ ed, after helping Joe down from his perch. Without giving them a chance to answer he muttered, “After my water¬ melons, 1’llbet.” “No we weren’t, honest,” replied Frank easnestly. “We were just hunting for some wood so that we could have a fire for the picnic at the mill. “And thought my rail fence would do very nicely, ironi¬ cally remarked the farmer. “No. If we had wanted your fence we needn ' t have climbed over it to get it. “Oh, I see, said their captor, “searching for someone ' s wood shed. Well, you’d better come with me, and grasping each boy firmly by the collar, he marched them up toward the barn. “Guess the best thing to do with you would be to take you straight to the constable, he remarked, more to himself than to the boys. He then locked them in the barn and proceed¬ ed to hitch the horse to a light wagon with a canvas thrown over it, concealing its load. When the team was ready he let the boys out of the barn and made them sit up on the seat beside him. Then, gather¬ ing up his reins, he drove out of the yard. The boys never uttered a word. They guessed that they were riding with a man by the name of Smith, who was known as the stingiest and most stubborn man in that part of the county. As they neared the mill, Frank was just thinking of jumping and running, when the horse stumbled and fell, breaking a shaft and part of the harness. Of course the noise attracted the attention of the picnicers, and sotrn quite a crowd had gath¬ ered around the wagon. “Well, boys, I guess our trip ' s ended. You can help me pack this load of watermelons down to the creek so they will keep cool, and I’ll let you go. I can ' t haul this load to town in a broken wagon, so I ' ll let them stay here till tomorrow.” The boys set to work with a will, and soon there was a pile of great, sweet, juicy, watermelons down in a cool place by the creek. The farmer went down to see that everything was alright, and then rode away on his horse. A little while later, after the adventure had been fully 38 discussed, some of the boys were walking near the pile of melons when one of them noticed a piece of paper on one of them. He picked it up and hurried towards the fire with it. When close enough to see, he read what was on it. Evident¬ ly Mr. Smith had grown tired of his reputation, for this is what he had written. My Dear young friends: These watermelons are for you. I intended to bring them around a little later but the arrival of two of you on my place forced me to change my plans. Eat them when they are good and cool and change your mind about the stin¬ giest man in the county. Sincerely yours, Joshua Smith. Needless to say, they did change their opinion of him and today the boys and girls around there have not a better friend than Mr. Smith. JOHN COOLEY CHAS. GRANT PHILIPP PRELL ZOLA HOTELL LUCILE BRUSH Hlitntnr (Elaaa ijiatory HE class that entered high school in August, 1910, was different from what Freshmen are generally expected to be. The tall, severe and dignified Seniors made not the least impression upon us. By exercising much military skill and valor we succeeded in winning the second 0. V. L. war over taxation without representation. This firmly established our position in the school. No one has tried to impose upon us since. During that term one of our girls played in two win¬ ning basket ball games and won her “C.” One of our boys was the star of the boys team. During our second year two of our girls were members of the basket ball team that went to Willits and Lakeport. Another had the honor of being editor of the Spectator. This year, though there are but five of us, more honors than before have been gained. One of the boys won third place in the mile run at the track meet held here in October. Two of them have held the office of Vice-President of the 0. V. L. Society: others have held the offices of treasurer and secre¬ tary. Another is manager of this paper. A large number of school artists submitted very clever designs for the cover of the Spectator. We feel quite proud to see that the com¬ mittee chose one drawn by a member of our class. But the thing in which we glory most of all is that the two boys of the victorious debating team are members of our class. In our studies, we have all stood well. They have been a pleasure to us rather than a bug bear and with the help of our teachers we will continue to make a fine record and thus graduate as one of the most brilliant classes that ever went out from this high school. 41 § urr?B0 (Crimes Hu (Cans Z.

X N the third year of the consulship of A. Millerius we, a band of barbarians, attacked the frontier of one of his territories. There were, in all, four youths and ten maidens, most of whom were decended from a tribe in the immediate neighborhood and had already been somewhat in- 43 fluenced by the manners, laws and customs of the province. But one of us, a veritable giant in size, had come from a dis¬ tant land known to our ancestors as Missouria and fabled by them to abound in wonderful warriors who were conquering lands in all parts of the earth. Of the youths of our own tribe, all were brave and gave promise also of ability to en¬ dure long and sustained conflicts. Our maidens were of great beauty and showed the utmost devotion to those who were to bear the brunt of the fight. Scarcely had we stepped over the boundary line when the governor of the province sent his envoy to demand of us who we were and what was the size, age,, name and complexion of each. Being nothing daunted, we answered him several¬ ly, each as was the truth. This being done, the envoy set spur to his horse and soon had delivered the report. The governor thereupon spoke as follows: “Whereas only three moons ago one tribe was received into full citizenship and passed on to possess their place in the commonwealth, there¬ fore I am resolved to permit these, who seem indeed a goodly company, to enter and subdue certain portions of the land to the left side of the Sophomores.” A message to this effect was dispatched with all possible speed and. having taken the oath, we were admitted. No sooner had we entered than we saw a mighty army ap¬ proaching. Some of their soldiers were immence and looked fierce. They made a sudden sally and surrounded us at once. We were driven into an enclosure and strongly guarded. Then came two men who looked like executioners and demanded that one of our maidens be given up to them. To have re¬ sisted would have availed us nothing and, with much wail¬ ing, we were forced to let her depart. A few moments hav¬ ing intervened, they returned and called for another victim. Thus, in succession, we were all taken out to be tortured by being forced to eat slimy things and to drink the juice of ap¬ ples that had been left to become exceedingly fermented. Then they forced us to hold in each hand an instrument that sent sharp and stinging sensations through our entire body, and many other things which time does not permit to 44 be told. Though a few maidens wept sorely and one of them was near to expiring, yet all recovered. We were then told that it was the custom of the land that every tribe be thus tested to see if it be worthy to share in the benefits of this wonderful land. We had acquitted ourselves so well that we were to have the privilege of conquering and possessing one of the fairest parts of the whole realm. With rejoicing we hastened thither but found that immed¬ iately within the boundary were wild beasts that must be either slain or tamed. First we saw an elephant with all kinds of most strange marks upon him some of which looked like the scratches of a bird; x x Y x A x b-y-m ; y4 x x5 x a3, and so on indefinitely. The warrior from Missouria made a bold dash at the animal but the elephant picked him up and hurled him through the air. Several tried to bluff but that was even less effective. Some one suggested that if we would use a little wit the monster would soon become very tame and exceedingly useful as a beast of burden. We followed his advise and succeeded. At the same time there came a lion which kept continually roaring, hie, haec, hoc, huius, huius, huius. With the arrows of perseverance and the clubs of hard work we slew this king of terrors. In this the maidens really showed more valor than the youths and the highly deserved honor which they received caused them to take such courage that we could al¬ ways depend upon them after that. The next year a huge hippopotamus came stalking in, with some straight lines, some parts shaped like triangles, some quite square and others like a circle. With compasses, rulers, and circumferences we finally tamed him completely. But it was not long before a monstrous bear in the shape of a Commentary was seen in the vicinity of our camp. He was evidently there to find out what had become of his friend the lion. The only sluggard that there was among us sug¬ gested that each of us buy a Pony and, mounted upon it, charge with a sudden sally upon the beast and overwhelm it. This suggestion was rejected with all indignation and the one who made it was exiled from the tribe forever, neither did 45 any mourn at his departure. By learning- certain incanta¬ tions such as, “perfacile factu,” “his rebus cognitis, ” and “ad has res conficiendas, ” we have transformed this beast into a docile creature who obeys all our commands and who will even dance in his clumsy way for our amusement. We set about, also, to till the land. There was, in our territory, a gently sloping hill in whose soil the tree of lite¬ rary knowledge would flourish and bear abundant fruit. We procured from many parts of the land especially those varie¬ ties which would produce essays, stories, orations and debates. We did not forget the beautiful tree of poetry which bears such exquisite blossoms and whose leaves never wither. This is just now beginning to show a few buds, while the others will probably bear good fruit next year when, at the common councils of the 0. V. L., we shall invite all the members of the commonwealth to feast upon them. Having accomplished all these things in two short years, we hope by exercising the same intrepidity and perserver- ance to be able after two more years to say, “We came, we saw, we conquered.” Marvin Read, ’15.

All of these pupils entered high school and were soon joined by three pupils from other districts, making our number eleven in all. We became members of the 0. V. L. Society at the first meeting when we went through the ceremony of initiation. The girls were made to sing and the boys to walk a plank into a tub of water, after which we were dubbed members by the president. The Freshman Reception, given September 13, 1912, was the best social event of the year. It was attended by many of our friends and class mates and a pleasant evening was spent in dancing. Our class has played an important part in high school. Browne, Ahrens and Mowbray were among the Freshmen who entered the S. N. S. C. A. L. Field Meet, held here on October nineteenth. Browne distinguished himself in the mile, Ahrens in the dashes, and Mowbray in the broad jump. Browne’s fancy high dive in the mile was a thing a rare beauty Ross Mowbray left school near the middle of the term and went to Vancouver. B. C., where he visited until recently. As the school year draws to a close we find that our num¬ ber has fallen to nine pupils. They are: Marie Grant, Cyril Browne, Willie Cooper, Myrtle Read, Dolores Murillo, Will. Ahrens, Goldie Hale, Helen Carrie and Joty Sedgley. The past year has been a harmonious one and we look for¬ ward with pleasure to the remaining years of high school life to be spent in the new building which the citizens of Cloverdale will surely erect in the next year or so. 49 CHAS GRANT NETTIE BEASLEY JOHN COOLEY Irbafiitn ® HEN our principal, who is secretary of the Sonoma, Napa, and Solano Counties Debating League, returned from the meeting at Napa, he announced that Cloverdale High School was now a member .of the league. The prelim¬ inary debate was scheduled for November 22, 1912, when Cloverdale was to meet Sonoma. A tryout was arranged to . select a team. Of course all this rather took our small school by surprise, as we had had no practice in debating, but Mr. White’s enthusiasm was contagious. The pupils began to take an interest and when the tryout took place eight students strove for places on the team. Nettie Beasley, John Cooley, and Charley Grant were chosen with Gertrude Ludwig as substitute. As the first debate was to be held at Cloverdale, we sub¬ mitted to Sonoma the quesion, “Resolved that capital punish¬ ment should be abolished.’’ Sonoma chose the affirmative, which was defended by Clara King, Harold Wise and Emery Ranker. The judges for the debate were, Rev. Henry Ains¬ worth from Cloverdale, W. 0. Hocker from Sonoma, and Prof. M. C. Lynch from the University of California. As this was our first attempt, we were careful not to raise our hopes to high for fear they might suddenly be dashed to the ground; but when the decision was returned we found to our great delight that Cloverdale had won. We knew we would at least have a chance to participate in the semi-finals. After the debate a social dance was given and the team from Son¬ oma remained to enjoy it with us. We were all agreed that they were good loosers. 51 On the same night Santa Rosa defeated Analy High, so we had the Santa Rosa team as opponents in the semi-finals. We submitted the question, “Resolved, that the Sherman Anti- Trust Law should be repealed.” Santa Rosa chose the nega¬ tive. They were represented by Douglass Cameron, Grace Titus and Frances Ahl. The judges were C. L. Sedgley from Cloverdale, Rev. Willis G. White from Santa Rosa and Prof. H. R. Bull from Healdsburg. They brouht in a unanimous decision in favor of Cloverdale. A larger crowd attended this debate then the first one. People were becoming more interested. The final debate was held at St. Helena on April 25th. The St. Helena team had won in the preliminary debate over Napa and had gained the semi-finals from Benecia through default. They had also been the victorious team last year and held the cup. Any team winning the cup two successive seasons keeps it permanently; thus this debate was of unusual impor¬ tance to St. Helena and we expected them to make a strong fight. They submitted the question, “Resolved that the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Is¬ lands.” We chose the negative side. When the time approached for the debate at St. Helena, we found the town had become quite aroused and that a great many of the people wished to go to hear the final contest. We were delighted to find that we were going to have root- and supporters not only from school, but from its patrons as well. When we finally started for St. Helena over seventy people came with us to cheer the team on to victory and help bring home the cup. The following citizens volunteered their automobiles: Dr. Shipley, Mr. C. W. Harris, Mr. Warren, Mr. Bonney, Mr. Lee Shelford, Mr. Percy Wilson, Mr. C. L. Sedgeley, Mr. Gus Grant, Mr. Shirley Black, Mr. E. A. Cool¬ ey, Mr. Reed, Mr. Roy Orr. The debate was held in the auditorium of the new high school building. The speakers who upheld the affirmative side were Catherine Clement, Louis Vasconi and Evelyn Grant. The speakers from Cloverdale were Nettie Beasley, Charley Grant and John Cooley. We based our argument on 52 the ground that the Philippines should be prepared for ulti¬ mate independence. The judges were Leon Martin, attorney, from Berkeley, H. T. Goethe, president of the Chamber of Commerce, St. Helena, and Prof. Alexis L. Lange from the University of California. They brought in a decision for the negative. Mr. White, acting as chairman of the meeting, presented the cup to our team. In winning this cup the Cloverdale High School has the championship of Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties. The team wishes to express its sincere thanks to Mr. White for his valuable assistance, for we feel that it was only through his efforts that we entered the league and it was due to his canstant help and guidance that we won the cup. The team wishes also to express its thanks to our loyal support¬ ers, who helped us at home and especially to those who were so interested that they were willing to go to St. Helena and take their machines and a large number of rooters with them. This support was of inestimable value to us. It not only gave the speakers more confidence to see familiar faces in the audience, but it inspired them to do their best and to make themselves worthy of such support. 53 (§. 1. E. Notes -- 4 . burial KhE FRESHMAN RECEPTION, which was given in Humbert’s Opera House in September, was a thorough success being attended by more pupils than heretofore. The hall was artistically decorated in Freshman colors, ferns and greenery. Dancing and cards were indulged in after which supper was served. After the debates with Sonoma and Santa Rosa the 0. V. L. gave dances which were largely attended. The music was especially good. In the evening after the field meet here in October the visiting athletes were entertained by the Soc¬ iety. All of these social events were very pleasant features and gave just a little variety to our school activities. (Eitrua lExliibtt O UR exhibit for the annual Cloverdale Citrus Fair this year was an open book made of oranges, with the coyer in olives. The ground work and back were covered with thick velvety moss. Across the pages were the words, Fiat Lux (Let there be light). A large number of pupils had worked hard to execute the design and when we received a prize of twenty-five dollars our society was indeed proud of it. ICitprarg O URING the last semester regular programs have been given by the Society. Each member has appeared once a month. Our interest in the inter-scholastic debates has made us feel that such training as we could receive by participating in these exercises was absolutely necessary if we were to hope to be winners in future years. The prog¬ rams have also been very enjoyable and have attracted visi¬ tors from among the parents and friends of the pupils. Con¬ siderable talent has been shown both in the literary work and in music. 54 G.

Besides the old events some, new to Cloverdale, have been introduced. As usual, baseball is one of the leading features. Under Capt. Browne the team is fast gaining strength. Practice is as regular as meals. The time is soon coming when we will be able to show a team that can compete with the best of them. Basket ball is also prominent. During the winter months, we had a winning team which lost only two games during the whole season. Since our team consists of light¬ weights, this shows that it can make up in deftness what it lacks in weight. The shot putters are famous for their feats. Although none have entered in the track meets this year you may be assured that next year we will be represented by a champion. In the track meet of the S. N. S. C. A. L. which was held here in the fall of 1912 our team was represented as follows: Cooley (captain) 220 hurdles, broad jump. Mowbray 220 hurdles, broad jump, 220 dash. Browne Mile run. Grant Mile run.
