The LEDGER W School of Commerce Portland, Oregon JANUARY, 1927 - Picture Typifies Commerce Spirit Raymond Hunsacker The Ship of Commerce hangs in the assembly hall of the High School of Commerce, the only picture there. It shows the spirit of the faculty and the hopes of the students. She is a beautiful ship, boldh ' sailing out upon the blue sea with all sails set. She will always bring back memories of the graduating class who chose the motto, Out of the harbor, into the sea. One thinks how sim.lar the two are: The graduating class goes forth into lif e to meet its problems, while the beautiful ship goes forth from the harbor into the open sea in the face of threatening storm. I ' pon looking at the picture, one is reminded of Longfellow ' s lines: How beautiful she is! How fair She lies within those arms, that press Her form with manv a soft caress Of tenderness and watchful care. The picture was presented last spring when the fate of our school was in the balance, pending the election, at which time our destiny lay in the hands of the voters of the city. But all wem well in the election and our ship has found a shelter- ing harbor in the proposed new school. No doubt every person in the school has a kindred feeling for the ship. It shows our spirit: Our hearts, our hopes are all Avith thee. Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith triumphant over all our fears. Are all with thee — Are all with thee. in az LOG OF THE GOOD SHIP COMMERCE Education Ocean, September 7, 1920. After our stop-over at Vacation Islands, we cast anchor in the wonderful Bay of Study near Port School Days to take on 1,115 passengers, our rec- ord quota. Of these, 250 were on their initial voyage. Last trip we took on only 1,003 passen- gers; thus we stowed away an increase of 112 new- landlubbers. Some men of letters came aboard for the cruise: Commander of the Fighting Crew, John Nagel ; Chief Steward, Kenneth Althouse; Pilot, Harry Berg.

Harold JMcKenney — Peppy and courteous — more than we can say for some boys. Where did he get the trained voice he used in his fire prevention speech ? He belongs to the S. O. S. Berniece Hill — A popular girl who has entered the field of poetry ; need we say more ? Tbelma Stabence — As fiery a girl as ever pushed Arthur Bish — Everybody knows Art and every- a pen in favor of fire prevention. Her literary body likes him. Although he is working his way achievements are not a few. She is on her way through school, he has found time to play the roles to fame. More credit to Commerce and the Silver of room representative and president of the Hi-Y. Pencil Club. Esther IJ ' ehistein — Besides being a room repre- sentative and a willing worker in school activities, Esther manages to make the honor roll.

Mary Piiitarich — es ! she is the girl who plaved tennis for Commerce three years, basketball one year, and helped coach the Freshie team this last term. Howard Kerr — A child with a habit of taking the worlds (we mean girls) as thev come. Wher- ever or whatever he ' s bound for he seems to be getting there. Football costumes are sure to come into style in 1930, at which time Howard Kerr will serenely fill his position as a fashion dictator.

This was our first stop this season. We dropped anchor near the briji Constitution for a program on board. It was manned by a fine, patriotic crew. John Nagel was the sporty captain who conducted the affair. Robert Lambert, Ruth Tichenor, Rose Appleston and Raymond Hunsacker contributed to the occasion. A thousand and more lusty throats joined in the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner. Roving the Seas of Literature with the sign of the Silver Pencil nailed to the masthead, a brigan- tine in quest of booty, was sighted at daybreak. We learned that it had captured a merchant vessel and amongst other valuable loot had taken many poets as hostages. Thev accepted an invitation tendered by the tloughty ship Franklin, after having gorged their fill, and sent Melvina Halstrom, Faye Howe, Berniece Hill and ALarjorie Pangborn as mediators.

They have suffered. We liave nothing and we have suffered. Man were those who gave up their only sons reluctantly but with a certain pride. This mother, we shall call her Airs. Albraith, was one who wor- shiped her boy, and lived just for him. She had held him back until necessity made him enlist for the service. Letters were exchanged between them, the mother asking how he was getting along — if he wanted some more wool stockings or a sweater ; and the boy telling her that it was a wonderful experience, to put fear out of her mind as it was making a man out of him. She would be proud of h.m when he came home. When he came home. His mother fairly existed on those words. There were other soldiers to think about and sweaters, wool scarfs, and stockings to knit for those that had no lo ing parent to send these to them. One morning, when ever one and everything seemed its sunniest, a telegram came to the home of the Albraith ' s. The little black star told the story, but the frightened woman did not see the sorrowful sparkle. The contents blazed at her: Wednesday, October 9, at 12 o ' clock, Company D went ' Over the Top. ' Two days later at the same hour the roll was called. ' V ' our son ' s name was among the missing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Captain George R. Chorman. My son, my little boy, dead! Oh, not dead! The mother passed a shaking hand over her eyes, looking at the letter with a glance that bordered on insanity. Twelve o ' clock! Sympathy! The words came like hot shot followed with the report of hysterical laughter. Then merciful darkness came to that lost mind. What was there to li e for? wondered the mother after a month of semi-consciousness. She pulled her couch to the window and watched the REI ' RLSLXTING THE SILVER PENCIL Pegyy Patching. Melvina Halstrom. Hazel Howe, Rosa Hdlemba, Bernlece Hill. Soon tiring of looking at faces that were lined with their own cares, she glanced at the blue sky. Some- thing stood defined against the blueness. Hurried- h ' putting on her glasses, she gazed at the spectacle. A huge statue of an unknown doughboy stood in the fquare peering down on the hundreds of peo- ple — looking for someone. While Mrs. Albraith had lost interest in the doings of everv day life, a statue had been erected to an Unknown Sol- dier using his features. Frederick Du Pont, a great sculptor, had found in this dead soldier ' s features a something that he had always wished to put in the form of bronze, so the doughboy stood his guard. Somebody ' s son, the woman cried softly in her sympathy for the unknown mother. She put on her wraps and decided to go to see this statue, and pray for the two people. Alany were sur- prised to see an elderly woman praying at the steps leading up to the tomb that day. Regularly it now had become for Mrs. Albraith to go down to the square at 12 o ' clock, the time her boy went Over the Top. There were those who wondered with curiosity at the strange be- havior, and many who bowed their heads wish- ing that they too could pray for a lost one, but fearing the thoughts of the crowd. As winter approached with its heavy rains, the mother showed no signs of ceasing her vigil. Then the weather became severe. One morning dawned with a terrible storm. Lightning, thunder, and sheets of rain and hail fell upon the town. As continued passing of the hurry, hurry crowd. the morning progressed the weather became more Paae 12 TERSER, violent. Mrs. Albraith looked at the clock, then at the storm and sighed, but continued her knit- ting, not soldiers ' scarfs this time, but children ' s sweaters and stockings. At five minutes of 1 2 she laid down her knitting and prepared for her noon pra ers. As she turned the knob on the door it flew back with astonishing force, nearly upset- ting her. But though she was a little frightened, a mumbled prayer seemed to put driving force into her and she went on her way, stopping every few steps to get her breath. The high wind was blow- ing the tops off of chimneys and upsetting every- thing that was not firmly attached to the ground. The idea to turn back did not enter the dimmed mind. She seemed happier than she ever had been before. Her face shone with a light that comes to those who ha e suffered and now were coming to a rich reward in the presence of the All-Forgiver. Falling to her knees, she prayed while the rain beat down upon her form. A roar of thunder and a blinding flash of lightning and the great statue of our American tottered. The statue of the Unknown Soldier paused in its headlong flight to look down upon the praying mother. The rain blinded our ision, but could it be that the face shone with a happiness as one coming after a long time to its comforting place? A head- rending crash ! O, merciful God. could anyone have done anything to deserve such a fate — a broken-hearted mother! Another dawn came stealing half fearfulh to see the damage it had brought the morning before. Stronger it came as it was relieved of some of its dread. Then it beamed forth with cold front ignoring its first doubts. Startled, it seemed at loss to find the unknown doughboy no longer there to greet it. There lay the soldier, no longer unknown. Drops of water were on his face, but to those who still lo ' e the real romance, I shall tell you, they were tears of liappiness. And his mother — her arms were clasped around her boy. Hers from the minute she had seen him falling toward her into her out- stretched arms. They were tightly clenched, whether from pain or joy. Those who believe — know. .1 ;-. La Spronce — Have you noticed how Mr. La Spronce always smiles or how his eyes always twinkle when he is speaking gruffly? That is just one of his characteristics, and we like him all the better for it. One never sees him without a broom or a bag of waste paper. He surely is a credit to Commerce. He is helping us work for our mecca of the future — a new High School of Commerce. Are you helping him?

The reasons for this common maladv are as varied as a flapper ' s j;oloshes. B-r-r! you say to yourself one morninij. It ' s too cold to turn out now. I ' ll just wait until Dad calls me. Then as you are nicely dreaming and have come to the exciting portion, a stentorian voice booms a warning like that of a fog horn out at sea, time for you to get up, and you know that he means it just as you know that your history teacher means it vhen she tells you to memorize the list of presidents. Vhat time is it ? ' ou ask to stall for time. LIHRARV .cC Cy ou rouse sufficien Time for you to get up ! Dad s more em- tly tt answer, ' OyAl Jl phatic reply, and with a sleepy all right you pull the covers closer and turn over for a few stolen minutes of sleep and a resume of your dream. Dad comes storming into the room and yanks the covers from the bed and your clutching hands, interrupting the heroine just as she is about to be rescued by the hero. Your mind automatically registers continued in the next. Between shivers, you manage to sputter that you ' ll be right down if he ' ll give you time ; so Dad goes away satisfied, but with a glare in his eyes that makes you realize that he means business. For the third time you crawl under the com- forting covers and doze off. From a distance comes the sound of a slamming door — that is Dad going to work, and a smile of perfect contentment creeps over your angelic countenance. From very far off, is the sound of a feminine voice calling, Johnnie, oh, Johnnie, get up dear. It ' s almost 8 o ' clock and you ' ve got to get to school early this morning. Besides breakfast is cold. Par e U Geewiz, Ma, can ' t you let a guy get some sleep? Ain ' t a feller entitled to a vacation once ' n a wile? If they call up, tell ' em I ' m sick. My teachers won ' t know the difference anyhow. And, for the fourth time, you drift back to slum- ber in time to see the hero slay the villain with one stroke. Moral: Insomnia is jus t a bad habit.

And gain each battle all through life Our praise must always be for you Who taught us to be strong and true. And though our feet may pause or fail, As up we climb life ' s rugged trail We hope we ' ll all come, Smiling thru Oh, Commerce High, from thoughts of you. No steel or granite makes up our walls No marble rich seals up your halls. Yet granite and steel and marble you ' ve wrought To help us to win the battles we ' ve bought. The lesson you ' ve taught with strug ' zle and strife Will aid us on the road of Life. And thus we shall forever be Dear Commerce High, right true to thee. — Dolores Beeman CLASS SONG (To the Tune of Let Me Call You Sweetheart ) Commerce tho ' we ' re leaving.

The Spanish Club, El Aliciente, has been or- ganized to bring to the High School of Commerce a demand for advanced classes in Spanish. Recent- ly a lively interest in Spanish has been manifested. Many students are an.xious to apply themselves to the knowledge of this language, now so important in commercial intercourse with Latin - American countries.

We stand off in the distance Our eves upon the ship that slowly sinks Where earth meets sky. We ' re left alone Upon a desert isle, But not for long. Each year there will be others Cast away from off that noble ship; Others come to aid us In our struggle onward Through the woods of knowledge Deep, and dark. Many board the ship of college As it passes by. And many others linger On the isle Building — ever building For the future. Yes, we ' re castaways From off the good ship Commerce; And yet we can ' t forget Our happy days on board ; The days when we, too, sailed the ocean Looking at the castaways Upon the shore. —Class of June, 1924 WILLIAM MEYER June C.-VRL SIHLER June ARTHTR JOHNSON Jan.

There are times, when, with- out shame, we may steal back to them and have a peep at the beloved days, which lie within. There are times when we may almost recapture that very valuable joyousness, which we left behind because it did seem too trivial to take along. To give those who have gone on, their chance to help — yes, that, and none other, is the purpose of the Alumni Association. Since its organization, the Association has weathered every storm, and now, with everything set for easy sailing, nothing but your lack of support can stop its rising success. Give the Alumni Association your help — you will benefit by it. CLASS OF JUNE 1 )24 TYPING AWARD WINNERS Mamie KonuiLii. Annj tllingei, ' iola Bjorkluiul. Lillijii Rind- bsrg.

As our good ship ploughed her way through the hillowing seas, a party was being held on board to initiate the freshmen in the ways of seamanship. Mary O ' Neil and Rae Ankelus did the Charles- ton; Essie Mitchell played the harmonica; Ken- neth DeLashmitt tickled the banjo; Florence Nokes coaxed the piano to play a tune ; Capitola Ratty and Blanche Baldwin danced, and Doris Schulberg, Elsa Ahberg, Alta Wiest and Willis Garner gave readings. In order to prevent fires gaining headway in the hold, Thelma Stabence, Harold McKenney and Lucile Streight gave helpful advice in their papers on fire prevention. The sturdy freshman, Lucile Streight, was adjudged the final winner and repre- sented the ship at the Auditorium. Port Assembly, October 18, 1926. The first pep gathering occurred today hen two lusty seamen contested amidst the cheers of their fellow tars for the position of yell leader. Maurice Westerman, a bluff and genial gob, cap- tured the honor. Nate Campf, w-ho acted in that capacity for two ears, helped to initiate the fledg- ling in his new duties. Aboard ship the women passengers have been fretting for something to do. At last they have organized the Rooters ' Club for girls only. It is Rovella Johnson ' s lot to be president ; Gertrude Bauer is the vice president. Hazel Dozier writes the minutes of the meetings. Ethel Hall ousts the surplus population. Lastly, but not least, Sarah Callan gives reports to the press. Am ' dst jqually weather the Kommerce Kamera Klub was formed, to secure better pictures for the ship ' s paper. Hallie Wiest is president and Lau- rette AVheeler, vice president. The secretaries are: Leona Purchase, recording ; Peggy Patching, cor- responding, and Lula Nevelain, filing ; Dora Winer collects the money if there is any; Alice Ramsey is keeper of the album. JXLarguerite Heerdt and Ruth Tichenor are the literary and subject editors, respectively. Mr. Baldwin assumed advisorship. Cape of Good Hope, October 25, 1926. The good ship Commerce was assigned a new trade route. In the near future the headquarters will be at Twenty-Third and Powell Valle road, on the old Clinton Kelly site. The new orchestra pins were distributed to an eager group of sailors by Lucille Parmele, the president, and George Goss, secretary. The warblers made Violet Stewart, president, and Naomi Mayfield, secretary, so that able women may guide the Glee Club safely through the briny deep. Nearing mutiny from the unvarying rations, the crew welcomed the potato chip sale given by the board of editors of the Ledger. Temporarily their hunger was satisfied, but more sales will have to be given in the future to keep the men satisfied. To aid those ambitious for public speaking, an a ' ter hours class has been installed. Chief officers are: Lucille Parmele, president; Earl Smith, vice president ; Lucile Streight, secretary, and Rita L. Andrews, adviser. P it e 33 EP EERBER LEDGER BOARD Reuben Miller. .l;ine Reeves.

Notice: Pumpkin Pies Spurned on Board UoRCAs Case On October 29 the Ledger staff had a pumpkin pie sale ; forty-two pumpkin pies, home-made and di- rect from the baker to the passengers, were ordered. We recei ed not one pessimistic remark about them. The gon sounded, a hundred people rushed out on the deck and ran up to the pie stand. Up soared our spirits, higher and higher. The money came in fast, the pies went like the proverbial hot-cake, that is some of them did. When the last gong sounded for duties, we counted, with our eves clouded with crocodile tears, 17 pies, untouched except for the fact that we had cut them into the beautiful shape of a somewhat uncertain geometri- cal figure. The Sioux Indian death chant had nothing on the sound that arose from our throats. We ere in the depths of the most awful mental agony! The last hope was to sell them after school. We did, and made 20 cents. Then reso- lutely thrusting my Scotch ancestr - back, I gritted my teeth with grim stoicism and sallied into the companionway with the purpose of giving away a pie to everyone I met. Of course, most passengers thought I was joking and would not take them. Several officer s came heroically to the rescue and bought a whole pie apiece, which somewhat allayed my conscience because 1 would have to give away only four pies. I went into the ship ' s librarv and threw a bombshell in a perfectly respectable Silver Pencil meeting by declaring that 1 would give a piece of pie free to them if they would come into the hall and no foolin ' . So ends the last attempt of a pumpkin pie sale. LhDUER BLSlXhSS BUAkl) Dnra Winer, Velma McCormick, Mr. Rude. The Romance of Being a Junk Man Cleo Seely Junk! Junk! Junk for sale!

Scrubbint: the decks and other manual labor on shipboard were forgotten momentarily when the Blotter Literary Review was distributed, but the watchful eyes of the officers soon sent the crew scurrying back to work again. November 8, 1926. Air. Brookings, representing the Community Chest brigade, presented a living example of what the right environment will do for homeless young- sters. With the golden-haired little Betty in his arms, Air. Elton received the whole-hearted pledge of the student body that they would care for her for the next six months. One of the novel ways the quota was raised was the shoe shining parlor. Ordinarv shoes cost five cents a shine, but those unfortunate hearties with big feet were charged one cent extra. Neil Agan, former seaman, presented the prizes for the best sales letters written by the seamen in Mr. AIurph ' s Business English classes. The cov- eted cedar chest went to Dorothea Sutton. James Burke was awarded the bridge lamp, much to the delight of those on board the ship. Alarjorie Wil- liams and Louise Durrie were given silk cushi ons and Edwin Woodfield received bronze book-ends in the design of the ship. The display of office machines at the Audi- torium received much favorable comment in the daily papers. Many skilled sailors were on hand to explain the exhibit.

The prin- cipal, who is not an ohl master, draivs a long face, and does not give a Mona Lisa smile, but a look that makes me feel as if I could erase myself from the landscape. The girls say I have designs on a certain boy at school whose name I will not mention, for if he suspected it, I know that I would blush a beau- tiful ciiriiiine-crimson — a color which would not harniunizc with the somewhat brilliant raw sienna tint in my hair — and I am particular about m color scheme.

OFFICE APPLIANCE CLASS Page 37 LERSER On Tuesday Morn Robert Easley Under the old and moss-grown roof, Sits a student thinking, He ' s wondering whether to spend his dime, Or be among those who are banking. BANK DAY IN BRIEF Esther VEI ' STEIN Each banking day I primly grasp my well- sharpened pencil with a feeling of importance, of deep pride, and of contentment. I announce that I am ready to carry on my duties as cashier. Imme- diately my fellow students bring to my desk their little green books and the money they wish to deposit. Just think of handling the coins. Proud cop- per Indian heads are under my power. I can pound on the heads of the brave chiefs until they get headaches. They can do nothing in retaliation. With reverence, with awe and silent respect, I handle the likeness of Honest Abe Lincoln. 1 stuff tough buffaloes into an envelope with other coins and they do not even bellow. If the Indian braves on the nickels look at me sternly, I stare at them unflinchingly, and with a sneer and a haughty raise of my head I easily put them into their places (in the envelope, of course). Proud eagles, haughty Indians, angry buffaloes — all are powerless in my grip. And the prett ' little books, green books adorned with neat printing, and a name, and an address! MR. CARLTON MRS. BILTGEN BANKERS Willi.im Flemming, Margie Stalcup. Gertrude Foiies, Robert Ortli, Bernice Parr, Elizabeth Mittlestedt. Dorothy Carson, Doris B. Fow- ler, Phyllis Riesland, Myrtle Johnson, Gertrude Jell. Those addresses written by the owners of the little green books, would they direct me to a colonial mansion or a vine-covered bungalow ? But to my task. 1 insert a small rectangular sheet of blue car- bon paper, a pretty little thing, between two pages of the little green book, I Avrite a few figures. Numbers dance and whirl before my eyes — lean ones, chubby eights, fat threes and fives — and from the moving mass I call forth the correct figures and write the total on a page in the little green book. Then 1 must steel my heart and perform a pain- ful dut -. With tear-blurred eyes I grip the sheet, the poor little innocent white sheet with the little blue figures on it. I turn my head, and repress- ing a sob, I wrench the little innocent page from its place in the little green book. Cruel tluties follow. I stuff the little white pages into an envelope with only Lincoln to pro- tect them from the silent savages, from the brutal buffaloes, and from the sharp-beaked eagles. And now, with a bleeding heart I must seal the enve- lope and put my burden into the hands of others. Such is life, I murmur, and drying my eyes I smile, and impatiently await the next Tuesday morning. Page 3S LERSEfi Bay of Good Sports, November 23, 1926. The football season ended gloriously with our victor)- of 12 to against Roosevelt. It will be many moons before the sport is resumed. Page 39 TERSER COACH CARPENTER CAPTAIN FOOTBALL FEVER Kathrvn Eberding (With Apologies to John Alaysfield) 1 must down to the field again, to the football field with a ball, And all I ask is a grandstand full of a crowd that cheers us all. And all I ask is a five - yard line, and a pigskin blown with air. And a nice clear field and a good hard game and a long touchdown to win us fame. I must down to the field again, for the call of the running team — Is a wild call and a clear call that makes me want to scream. And all I ask is a good strong team and one that plays for fame, And the strong halfbacks and a good strong end that will make the opponent tame. I must down to the field again, to the happy play- ers ' life. To the tackle ' s way, and the coach ' s way, where the play is a long hard strife. And all I ask is a cheering yell from a lot of happy friends, And a slap on the back and a merry smile when the long game finally ends. J. NAGEL CCrACH SHIELDS Out of the east came the dawn, and out of a small group of some thirty green looking men, came what sports writers termed the thundering herd. The dawn just happened; the thundering herd didn ' t — it was made. For two months two men worked. They toiled not as the workmen of old toiled, moulding clay into vases and such ; they worked with men, mould- ing eleven men into a machine, a football machine — the thundering herd. Those two men were Air. Carpenter and Mr. Shields. For the time being they forgot their own pleasures ; they worked furiously. The monk, who over an eon ago worked feverishly as his single candle burned lower and lower, lived again in these two men. As the days grew shorter they made changes, they augmented the strong points; they strengthened the weaker ones. Then the day came — the thundering herd was made. They mowed down everything in their path until an important cog in that machine was broken. That cog was John Nagel. That is history. We build for the future ; the past is gone, the thundering herd is forgotten, but we can never forget Coach Carpenter and Coa ch Shields. Uni- versities may claim them, but they ' re ours, they ' re our coaches, they ' re our friends, they ' re our Ben Carpenter and our Gene Shields. fW ' DOBSON KERR Page M BERG Ltvasui MEYERS SMITH LEWIS CAPTAIN JOHN NAGEL Harry Berg The machine-like temperament of the team was largely due to the captain, John Nagel. He was a bear on defense, smashing and tackling hard. On offense he ripped off gains continuously, keeping the opponent deep in his own territory. When things weren ' t breaking right John would call the team back, find the trouble, and with his cheerful, No foolin ' gang; let ' s get ' em the team would line up, ready to give everything they had. Captain Nagel was an ideal inspiration to the fighting stenogs. OUR FOOTBALL MANAGERS These boys, although not members of the team, are very essential to our success : Our most ener- getic, efficient manager is Fred Meyers. He is a peppy boy who is always willing to help the team. David Lewis, our assistant manager, known as Little Giant, is a former Benson boy who was ineligible for football this term, but who spent his time supporting and helping us. Earl Smith is our publicitv man. He doesn ' t wait for someone to tell him the news; he gets it red hot from the gridiron. Bob Oppie, our mascot, was one of the peppiest boys in student activities. He was truly a likeable mascot. He gained his title by his willingness to help in all things. These boys have stood by the team. They have been with them in the dressing room before and after the games, have fought with them, and stood by them at all times. Their support has meant much to the team and to us. Commerce thanks tliem for all they have done. AS FOUND IN THE DAIRY OF THE SHIP ' S NAVIGATOR Jennie GoLD_ . , ,„„ • October 15, 1926. On this day the good ship Commerce anchored off Grant Island, sending ashore the foraging crew and their navigators to do battle with the bar- barians. The skirmish resulted in a victory for the schooner Commerce. Kenneth Althouse was commended for special bravery, for he slew six savages at one stroke. Harold McKenney also fought bravely, for he charged the enemy viciously manv times. Xo other casualties were reported. ACKLEY AYRES Page 41 ALTHOUSE KROMBEIN CRAN October 22, 1926. Today the schooner Commerce sent their forag- ing crew to Lincoln Island, on which the savages were reputed most ferocious. The battle again resulted in a victory for the ship Commerce. Cecil Ackley and Howard Kerr were recognized for bravery in this battle. Ackley drew first blood, by stabbing six red-shirts single-handed. Howard Kerr, swinging his cutlass dyed red with the blood of thirty Lincolnites, drove the enemy before him many times to their huts. Forty precious stones in all were captured by our men, who escaped with but seven slight scratches. October 27, 1926. The good ship Commerce anchored off Benson Island, as there was need of replenishing the larder with game. The Bensonites were noted for their young and tender turkeys. The crew landed, and, at once, were met by the mechanical savages, who hotly contested our right to their turkeys; but Cranston and Krombein were not to be denied. Wildly waving their flint a.xes, they carved a way through the line of savages and reached the tur- keys. Twenty-eight were brought to fill the larder. One flunkey, who was so excited at the sight of the turkeys, fell overboard, but he was immediately rescued by a gallant passenger. Beyond this there vere no other casualties. STON BERLOW November 2, 1926. In need of a supply of tomatoes, the ship Com- merce anchored off Franklin Island. Our look- out informed Captain Nagel that a line of sav- ages could be seen on the shore armed with har- poons. This news served to rouse the spirits of our crew, who quickly entered the dories and rowed for shore. The Franklinites threw their bowie knives at our oncoming boats. Bv good luck, however, the bowie knives did not injure either men or dories, but served to disarm the marooned ones. In this state they proved harm- less, and were soon beaten back. Twenty-eight boxes of tomatoes were secured, with but seven slight wounds. Nagel and Berlow were the heroes of the day. November 9, 1926. The brig Commerce cast anchor off Jefferson Island, as there was need of a supply of fresh spring water. The crew again prepared to give battle ; this time with the Blues, whose favorite weapons were cocoanuts. These grew in abundance on their island. As was expected, a battle resulted. For a while neither side fighting had the advantage, but, soon, a stray cocoanut struck Captain Nagel, disabling him from further participation. Our crew were so perturbed by this incident that their ability to dodge cocoanuts was lessened and at last. FDNES ■NUKENNEY Page 42 HINS. CKER SUBS David McClure.

Cecil Cole. after a terrific struggle, they were driven back to the ship without water. They were met on deck by Captain Nagel, who, on discovering the result of the battle, w ' as so incensed that he immediately threw a marlinspike and a belaying pin at the cow- ering crew. Beyond twenty-eight severe injuries, there were no other casualties. November 16, 1926. The frigate Commerce in need of water, anchored off Washington Island to again attempt to pro- cure some of the life-sustaining fluid. Our men were met at the landing place by the forewarned and prepared Washington savages, who immedi- ately began the fight. Our men fought doggedly on. On this day they rightly earned the title of our fighting crew. Many were the injuries that the wicked Easterners inflicted on our men, who barely escaped with their lives. No water was obtained. Berg and Ayres made main attempts to get the sadly needed water, but were repulsed each time. Rock-em and Sock-em Rogoway smeared some clay over his face in an attempt to appear more vicious. But it was of no avail. Our crew finally returned to the schooner with forty mor- tal injuries. November 2?,, 1926. In dire need of water, the frigate Commerce anchored off Roosevelt Island. Advisers Carpen- ter and Shields piped the warriors to deck and informed them that this was the last time an attempt would be made to secure water. The crew pushed off with an encouraging cheer from aboard ship. The ensuing battle was furious, for the Roosevelt Islanders were resolved to keep their water, but they were unable to stand against the attack of our men, who were grimly resolved to fill the water-barrels. Dobson, especially, man- fully wielded his rapier again and again against the determined horde, and twelve water barrels were finally filled. The dories were called back to the ship by two booms of the guns and the ship Commerce glided placidly out into Education Ocean. WATCHING A FOOTBALL PLAYER (With Apologies to L. Berardinelli, Only One of the Many) Ua ' id Lewis During football season I learned quite a bit in watching Lodovico Berardinelli warm up. In the first two games, when we were leading by a comfortable margin and the game was nearly over, the order would be given: Berardinelli, warm up. Instantly he would jump up and become so excited that it would take three people to remove (Continued on page 62) E CO 1- ' X O l I •-H ' 75 ■ V- ' -0 C 3 c o a V JZ -a 1 o J3 c ON l-H o P-, -a 3 -o c o C 3 J— ( 1 3 o CO 3h . 1 fl) V ' iJ :=! c rt C 3 J „ C 3 ' Ji E ti c bjD u p OJ 4_) , V-i ,i ' £ 7i OJ 13 u o u h J c O 3 O c 3 o 3 U c o _p O -a 2 E o ti c I- CM P 3 JZ u 3 o ti rt u O s o 4-1 P 3 3 u •- o g rt 3 • -1 •J ti.
