The Rime of the Battle-Scared Cayuse QFirst told to Lne in the YGH1' 19359 It was a battle-scarred Cayuse Who told this tale to me- Ill nineteen-twenty-three and four When I lived out in Milton, Ore., I Went to C. J. C. That year at school I'l1 ne'er forget For there I came to know A charming maid so tall and fair, With clear blue eyes and golden hair And a mouth like Cupid's bow. My old Dodge roadster every night lVould roll up to the Dormg Then Dodge and girl and I would go To Umapine to see a show, TH GIR And not get hack till morn. E L In March I drove to Junction Town With the 'Girl of a Million Cll2lI'IHS., May I ne'er forget that thrill of joy When the preacher said, 'She's yours, my boy - And I took her in my arms. , When we got back to Rickard Hall , ' The College Hearse was thereg And in it we went for a ride Securely handcuffed side by side- A much tormented pair. li? I should live a thousand yearg And sail on every sea: - ' Illavh uimnent of that year out West- The Spoon-eart, girl, and all the rest Will haunt my memory. THE SPOON-CART When school was out we started East And as we rolled along, The skies above were sunny skies- With Her along 'twas Paradise- And life was one sweet song. ' In Min11esota's wilds we stopped. fThe place that I love lmestj I-low fast the summer days went by As we worked here, the Girl and I, To build a little nest. We've lived here now eleven years Among the cows and chickensg I swapped my roadster to a man Fora seven-passenger sedan Which crowds us like the dickensf' G. Page Twenty-Eight

College Freshmen THE class of '27 beO'an the year with a determination to show Z3 the school that this was not an ordinary freshman class. They were full of zest and vim' not waiting to be coaxed into action, but always starting the attack. They challenged the sophomores by flaunting a green flag' from the roof of the dormitory. Being out-numbered they suffered the usual fate of freshmen but con- soled themselves with the promise of exacting satisfaction from the freshmen class of next year. - There were six started at the opening of school. There was Meta who was elected president: Mina, from Westoii, was chos- en to assist Metag and cheerful litle Sally was assigned the duty of keeping' a record of the actions of the class. The boys were less prominent, but then, if john and his sing- ing' were absent, his absence would be felt by all. Then there was Gilbert, always so willing and ready to help a person. Manlee endeavored to spread sunshine Cor was it misery?U bv playinq jokes. However, this was of secondary interest with him. We hope he will be as successful in his main 1-hobbv as Mr. Frank was in his trip to Junction City. Oregon. Harold was alwavs stick- ing' around the chemistrv laboratory. Gilbert and.Harold donned the leather helmet and fought for the traditions of Columbia on the gridiron. Edna lanes. Clive Speer- Paul Sevy and Martin Howard en- tered the class later. Meta and Sallv both did their part to help the girls' basketball team. while Paul, Harold and Gilbert fought with the boys. After basketball season was over. Paul and Harold got out their tennis rackets and prepared to bring' home the conference championship. Page Twenty-Seevn

It includes stu- dents who are not taking the regular academy or liberal arts course-ministerial students and those specializing in the music, commercial and expression departments. This class has proved that the school is truly a melting potf' Although chiefly interested in so many varied lines, they have pulled to- gether as a unit, to honor Columbia. The class has actively par- ticipated in school activities. There are several who are talented musically, and vvho took leading parts in the Mikado Cflazner, Campbell and Vimont vvon football letters, and the latter was chosen captain for next year.
