Carl Denton is the supervisor, and Oryl Cole has been student director for the last two terms. There are over twenty pupils enrolled. Although the variety of instruments played is smaller than usual this year, the orchestra has shown excellent progress and has appeared in a most creditable manner at class plays and other programs of the school. Some of the members are being selected to appear in the second annual All-High-School hfusic Festival. Edith Churchley, a senior, has been concert-master this term. Boys' C-lee Club The Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of lVIiss Danae A. Livesay, is the newest addition as an activity of the Commerce High School hlusic Department. It is really a class in vocal music. The purpose of the club is to create among the boys a deeper love and respect for good music. The club teaches the boys how to read and to sing music. There are over thirty members enrolled this term, and some excellent singing voices have been discovered and utilized. The class has assisted in several public appear- ances of the Commerce High School Chorus, and is this year, for the first time, sending a representation of ten boys to be in the All-High-School ilflusic Festival. llflember- ship in the Boys' Glee Club is open to boys of any term who like, and who desire to learn how to sing. C-irls' Glee Club ' The Girls' Glee Club, which consists of two classes each term, with llfiss Danae A. Livesay as leader, offers excellent opportunity to come into contact with the best vocal music that has been written anywhere, as well as to develop the real vocal talent which our school possesses. Almost a hundred girls have been enrolled this year, and some very nice singing has been done. The work has been mostly three-part singing Cthat is, soprano, mezzo--soprano, and altoj, although some quartet work was carried on. These classes furnifh the nucleus for the various programs presented throughout the school year. Together with the Boys' Glee Club, they have appeared four times before our own school, and approximately ten times in outside programs, including three radio broadcasts from stations KBPS, KXL, and KICX, respectively. They sang carols at Christmas time in the Veterans' Hospital and were very much appreciated. Twenty representatives have been selected to appear in the second annual All-High-School illusic Festival to be given by the Portland High School lllusic Departments in lVIay. lblembership in these classes is open to girls of any term, whether especially talented or not, who are really interested in music for its cultural as well as its entertainment value.

The Student Body Council represents the students as a Whole, consisting of officers chosen from the graduating class, four members from the seventh term group and four from the school at large. They deal with all matters concerning the student body. GOLF The Golf team this year is a veteran outfit. Bert French, captain, John Hogan, Ben Hughes, Stan Grieson, Joe Stevely and Vincent Cooney are a group of golfers hard to beat. To date they have beaten Grant, a leading contender, and stand an excellent chance to win the first golf championship for Commerce. Tl' i1'li1-our f E l1f3El2, BASEBALL BASKETBALL TENNIS Tllirly-I TRACK if ,-Q- - -e'DD L?7.'-' l l BASEBALL Although handicapped severely by the loss of such veterans as Salvi, Cleek, Braje- vich, Carlisle, Knispel and Miller, Coach Dawson was greeted with some very promis- ing material when the baseball season began. Mr. Dawson has started to build another championship team for next year. Commerce was very fortunate in having Herb Foulk on the mound this year. He showed up exceptionally well and compared favorably with any twirler inthe league. Frank Beers and Jerry Donovan also pitched. Captain Jimmy Concannon filled in at second base like a veteran. He played a snappy game all season and hit very hard. Dale Johnson, southpaw ace, filled in at first base as Art Weinie Knispel was declared ineligible. Virgil Galloway was his understudy. Carl D'Orio and Carl Sparwasser covered shortstop in great fashion. Alton Brown, a recruit from the American Legion team, appeared on third base. He played stellar ball around the hot corner. Delbert Daggett and Arthur Perreault also showed well in the infield. The pitchers were ably supported by Maguire, Patterson and Verdon, who caught like real leaguers. The outfield positions were filled by Grady, Gunderson, Marchi and Muller. With this rare combination Commerce felt secure in the outfield. Paul Streight and Durward Grady were substitutes. BASKETBALL Coach Burnett was very much handicapped this season by lack of experienced material. He had only three lettermen with which to build a team. Nevertheless, Mr. Burnett made a very good showing in the Portland Interscholastic League. PERSONNEL RAY LEONARD-Ray was the high scorer of the team and played hard all the time. He will be back next year. ORVILLE CARY-Orville played a good game all year and will be missed very much next season. HOWARD SCROGGINS-HOW2Yd made a big improvement over last year as a bas- ketball player. He will be back for two more years. DALE JOHNSON--Dale played a good, consistent basketball. He will be missed next year, as he is graduating. HERBERT FOULK-Herb, who takes part in all sports, saw plenty of action as a substitute. He will be back next year. EDWARD GRADY--Eddie, playing his first year for Commerce in basketball, showed the same old fighting spirit he always has. JERRY DONOVAN-JCIIY played a good game at guard. He will be back. CARL SPARWASSER'C3fl started with the junior team, but he played so well that he was moved up to the Varsity. FRANK BEERS--Frank was the only regular from last year, and he played his usual brand of good, consistent basketball. Thirty-three ., 'WHT- as TENNIS New interest has been developed in tennis at Commerce, particularly among the girls, who have organized a tennis club. The girls' team is well on its way toward a championship next year, if not this, for Joe Willette, captain, Helen Petrijanos, Maxine Herider, Merita Abbott, Anna Platt, Audrey Huget and Marcia Paige are very fine players. Other members of the club are expected to win letters next year. The boys' team is composed of Brenholt Wood, captain, Joe D'Ambrosia, Bernard Ravell, Jack N illsen and Billy Murray. TRACK Track, like all Commerce sports this year is at ebb tide. We expect the tide to come back strong next season. Among the boys who have done good work for Commerce this year are Thomas Kelly, in the mile 5 Elmer Daniels, Orville Cary, Roy Gunderson, in the weight events, Jim Miller, Perry Bell, Robert Quinn, in the jumps, Don Baldwin, Beverly Bremner, Frank Beers, Ed Grady, in the middle distance events, Joe Ginsberg and Alva Farrar, in the sprintsg and Carl Sparwasser, in the javelin. Others who should be point winners next season are Herbert Foulk, Rozell Pilgrim, Glenn Judd, Jerry Donovan, Jack Jossy, Merle Yandle, George Cary, Butch Preece, Art Meyers, Verne Gutknecht, Albertus Bagley, Lawrence Patterson, Joe Laprinzi Ben Wilcox, and Bernard Grady. Mr. Burnett says, This is the poorest season since 1927, but with hard work the group coming up can put us back among the leaders by next season. Of course we need a track in order to accomplish the best results. ! THE SPORTS IN PROCESSION Spring: Baseball like a budding flower in vacant lots is seen. Summer: Tennis and golf boast white on the shining green. Autumn: Football blooms with the g.- chrysanthemum fair. ' Winter: Ice skating that is mostly ix, popular with the young who dare.

ONCE IN A BLUE-MOON FIRST Pmz is QQ.- Saturday always brought myriad bargain hunters to Hunt and Bond's department store. Crowds of inquisitive, excited women hustled between counters thumbing every pleasing article in view. Gloria Danton was, as usual, at the perfume counter, juggling precious containers filled with divine scents. Four years she had heroically helped un- decided customers choose the particular high priced liquid which they didn't wantg four years she had said with a sugary voice, May I help you ? and four years she had heard the inevitable answer, Naw, I'm just lookin'. On this particular Saturday Gloria felt unexplainably uplifted. She didn't imagine why herself, because the day had been disgustingly sloppy, and all her dear public had been exceedingly hopeless. A stir of some sweet expectation possessed her. She felt as if today she would pass out of her usual repetitious life into something infinitely dif- ferent. Her courage had risen so high that she nearly felt capable of asking for a raise. A young girl, who really was of very appealing features, through her film of powder, came swaggering up to the counter. For several moments she stood contem- plating the gay containers so artistically arranged by our Gloria. Suddenly her eye fell upon a modernistic bottle of scarlet hue, which evidently appealed to her bright nature. I'd like to know how that perfume smells, she said, not diflidently. The stopper was passed under her nose as she closed her eyelids appreciatively. Gloria had to suppress a smile, for that particular scent was of the coarsest and cheapest variety. She knew that this girl sadly lacked the art of knowing the exquisite delicacy of pure quality rather than quantity. This is Lilac perfume. We sell much of this particular type. Would you care to test our Narcissus? The scent is so elusive and of such a seductive quality. She went on repeating her sales talk. This girl before her was one of many. A poor creature, who probably had to work hard for her existence, too. Every day for four years rich and poor girls alike had come to her counter seeking the irresistible perfumes that both found so uplifting. Gloria did not envy the wealthy girls. In her own sweet way she lived a happy life, although deprived of any immediate relatives. Her one-room apartment was as much home to her as the palatial dwellings of the rich girls. Gloria was doing her favorite work again, arranging novel bottles in attractive positions. Every few seconds she would pause to survey her masterpiece with complete satisfaction. Her fresh, blooming girlhood was refreshing to observe, as her intelligent face lighted with the pleasure derived from her work. She never knew that many young men gazed admiringly at her soft brown eyes and crinkly copper hair, wondering how this elfin-like creature could be found out of fairyland. She was in a doubtful state of mind as to whether the green, flat bottle should go beside the gold, thin one or in front of the yellow one, when a cool hand brushed her shoulder. With sudden shock at the unexpected contact the girl brushed a large con- tainer of Christmas Night Perfume from the counter. A musical clinking sound met her ears as the frail, black, glass bottle broke into bits. The atmosphere fairly reeked with the strong, sweet scent. Looking around with moist eyes, Gloria saw a fellow clerk looking truly apologetic at her. Oh, Gloria, I'm so sorry. I never meant to startle you so. That perfume is twenty dollars an ounce! the intruder exclaimed. Gloria was still looking with wide, sorrowful eyes at the fragments on the floor. You poor kid, the visiting clerk went on, it will take every speck of your salary to pay for that. fContinued on page 493 Thirty-seven - h 'li 4 ' L' LERBE.lZ - THE IVIOONBEAM The dark blue of the sky shown clear by the light of the moon that summer nightg not one cloud marred the broad expanse of ebony-blucg stars came out, one by one, and joined the moon in an attitude of waiting and expectancy. Neither the stars nor the moon twinkled or moved, until at last a moonbeam came hurriedly across the sky and took its place near the moon. Then the moon and the stars greeted the little moon- beam, who started alone on a voyage around the earth, looking down from a divine sphere upon the works of God and man below. The moonbeam sailed above the forests of tall, green, fir trees in Oregon, and over the redwood trees in California, their tops reaching far, far up into the heavens. It saw the still, blue waters of Crater Lake, so infinite in the moonlight, that as the moon- beam gazed upon its reflection in the water, it thought of another lake, not blue and still, but dark and stormy, and it thought also of the Man who had tread these waters. The moonbeam tarried a little over the Grand Canyon and looked upon its strange peaks and fantastic forms. In the dim light of the moon, it saw wondrous colors known only to the Master Painter. That night many ships were guided across the broad Pacific by the light of the moonbeam. Those on big ships were gay, and they laughed and said the night was beautiful. There was an old sailor on a small cargo vessel of an ancient origin. He looked up at the moonbeam and said nothing, for he loved the moonbeam. It brightened the long, dark night in Siberia, whose snows were fast melting away, and the moonbeam helped to chase away the gray, lowering clouds, threatening the pleasant twilight. It passed the Great Wall of China, broken and decayedg and saw the dark, silent silk factories in Japan, and the quiet hillsides where the rice and sugar growers rested for the day. The moonbeam almost touched the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, the highest range of mountains ever to strive to reach the sky. Over barren Arabia, it sailed, and saw the swift horses and the humpbacked camels sleeping in the oases, and it saw Mecca, the Holy, with its magnificent, jeweled palaces and temples. The moonbeam paused for a moment above the Holy Land, and Jerusalem, where once the Romans revelled and Jewish gold changed hands. In the distance were seen the little towns of Bethlehem and Nazareth, and the stormy Lake of Gallilee. All these did the little moonbeam bless. As the night was fast waning, the moonbeam sailed on to catch up with the moon, for many countries in Europe waited for the moon and its soft light, so that their people might leave the ripening fields of grain, the shops and the factories, to rest for another day of life on the morrow. --JESSIE GROVER. This essay won Second Prize in the June 1932 Ledger Contest. SOME PEOPLE! I saw a woodpecker standing on a pole, Pecking and pecking a nice big hole, He seemed to be ha-ving a lot of fun fllaking a lol of noise and annoying everyone. -SALVATOR GALLUZZO, English 3. Thirty-eight APPLESAUCE The other night while I was in the yard, I heard the telephone ring. I made a wild dash for the house, missing the first four steps and landing on all fours on the fifth. Running through the living room, I tripped over a table and upset a vase of flowers, so you can imagine my state of mind when I reached the phone. I grabbed the receiver off the hook and shouted, Hello . From the other end of the line came a baby voice, Hello, is Wallace there ? I curtly said he wasn't. Then she asked who I was. I told her I was Wallace's brother. Has he got the La Salle with him today ? she whined in a voice I longed to choke. No, I said promptly, he has Mary with him today. No, she informed me, I mean the La Salle car. Then I caught on to what I was supposed to say. Why, yes, I lied. Well, she said, will you drive me out to my mother's in your Franklin P That was too much for me, but I played my part. Oh, I'm sorry, I said, but that's in the garage being fixed. I'm sorry, she sighed as she hung up the receiver. I did the same with a sigh of relief. I walked out in the yard and viewed our old Hudson that had seen at least eight years of active service. I sighed and said, Well, maybe I am wrong, you may be a La Salle at that. I don't know what makes girls believe such applesauce . Maybe they don'tg maybe the joke is on the boys. -LAWRENCE PATTERSON. This essay won First Prize in the June 1932 Ledger Contest. MEMORIES Every passing moment is a bell To mourn the death of undiscerned delight. Yet seated here, in contemplation lost, Our thoughts discover vaster space beyond, Greater goals to attain, unfathomed depths. Almost we are afraidj then, since we hear The awakening sound of new-born spring, life match that precious calm into this sound And cherish that which comes before as well as that beyond. We, who now doth spealz of thee rememberingly, Thy faithful courage, help, and constancy, Pause and let our spirit sinh in spaciousness To bind into a rosy, clinging vine All of these precious, heart-felt memories. -DOROTHY SKEELS. Thirty-n ine L W, , .- QM' if LERBER-, AMERICAN YOUTH Fanny Hurst remarked in one of her recent interviews that the American youth of todlaynare asleep, and all they know of higher education and world affairs is Oh, yea . If Miss Hurst will recall, most of the youth of America were born about the period of the VVorld War. Then they were raced through a period of good times and prosperityg now they are in the period of an economic crisis which has discouraged many an older and more experienced person. Are they asleep? I challenge Miss Hurst to look farther than road-houses! The American youth of today are not the fun-seeking, brainless crowd as they are depicted by many prominent thinkers. They are awake, intensely awake! Let Miss Hurst come into the Economic, History, or any of the classes in high school or college. What is the most discussed topic? The modern business problems, the problems that determine the future of the American youth! Come to any convention where youth is represented. They discuss all the world problems, and work to find the solutions. Over 11,000 young people in Oregon are discussing the topics of the day in their own clubs and social groups of the church! Think of it! Eleven thousand young people of this group in Oregon, Washington, New York, Texas, what power! Give them a chance to prove themselves, to overcome their handicaps, and then listen to the voice of the American youth! --MAE CARDELL. This essay won Third Prize in the June 1932 Ledger Contest. GRADUATION The sun shines down, Ye! raindrops pourg So blue above, Yet gray clouds soar,- Life is begun, Yet life is o'er. A nd so we go, Gay, yet downcast. Four years have fled, Yet still file past.

That balcony Which but today I scorned and thought not fair Is cloaked in deep and silent mystery, And scattered bits of starlight linger there. That which today was but an apple tree, Where inexperienced robins took to wing, Ifas now been changed to vibrant poesy- Has now become a sil-ver fairy thing. A crystal stream is Howing at its base, Appearing through the shadows of the nights The waning moon is mirrored on its face- It gilds the water with celestial light. The breathless guietude enraptures me And holds me spelled by its intensity. -MARJORIE KAUFMAN, English 7 I CANNOT HEAR! SECOND PRIZE I used to hear the birds and bees, And the wind that whistled through the trees, And the surf that broke upon the shore, But I cannot hear them any more. There is a numbing silence in my brain, That sweeps about me like the wind and rain, My only consolation is that I can see The stars, the moon, and the hoarding sea. Oh, how I wish that I could hear the sea, And the cries of the gulls as they call to me, And hear the rumbling waves upon the shore, To make me feel at home once more. -WILLIAM MACKENZIE, English 7.

There, on the brink of a silvery stream, A silvery, murmuring, laughing stream, My thoughts shall wander to days I have known, When I hear the brook's sweet, musical tone.

SWEENEY, STRAUB 8: DIMM Printers ELEVENTH AND BURNSIDE STREETS BROADWAY 0601 PORTLAND, OREGON F ty ght ONCE IN A BLUE-MOON fContinued from page 371 Gloria didn't hear the cheerful speech. She was watching with fascinated eyes the expensive fluid trickle into little rivulets, and also wondering how she could pay her room rent and pay her debts if.her precious salary were taken. For two hours after the tragedy Gloria was still waiting for a summons to the main oflice. Mr. Clyster, the store's new manager, was very crabbed and harsh, so Millie, a clerk, had told her. What would she ever do if she lost her position? Yes, the stock boy was motioning that she was wanted at the main office. Going to the elevator her knees fairly trembled and she wanted, oh, so badly, to let the hot tears come as they so Wanted to. Jim, the elevator boy, wondered at Gloria's not singing out her usual cheery Hello, Jimmy! The sun that had shone so brightly for her a moment before had been entirely covered by an ugly black cloud that threatened to envelop her also. Floors one-two-three-four, and out of the elevator. With her heart throbbing in her throat, she opened the menacing door that would decide her fate. She was admitted into the office immediately. With a great effort at calmness Gloria stepped over the threshold into the presence of the manager. A man, whose visage expressed a mixture of boredom and annoyance, reclined in a comfortable-looking swivel chair. On the.girl's entrance he barely nodded his head and seemed to drop instantly back again into a silent reverie. Then in a deep, rich voice he commenced to ask her some business-like questions. You are Miss Danton ? flYeS.7Y And you have worked here for four years ? Yes. Have you any idea of why you were called here today. Yes, I have. I'm so sorry I broke that bottle of Christmas Night Perfume, but I shall pay for it. I do not understand how I could have been so careless. What company makes that perfume P Dupond. Does it sell well? Yes, very. There is a great demand for it because of its extreme delicacy. You love perfumes ? Oh, very much, sir. Mr. Clyster was recalling what a Hoorwalker had told him some days before about Miss Danton's cleverness with customers and how attractive her counter always ap- peared. He sat rigid, like a king on his throne, for a short period that seemed hours to Gloria. Just as she was about to offer a short prayer for deliverance, he moved in his chair. The picture he presented became more human. The man known as the big power seemed to create magic, for like a jack out of a box when a button is pushed, appeared an efficient, intelligent secretary, who wrote his words upon her pad like dots and dashes. Gloria felt that these words were being telegraphed through her brain. P79 Y! Dear Sirs: I am sending you imagination, originality, curiosity, honesty, emotion, ambition, and beauty in the person of Miss Gloria Danton. Let Miss Andra' show her the factory and explain the history and romance of the perfume industry. Miss La Bronta, our buyer, is leaving the firm on June 1. Miss Danton will then act in her capacity. Yours very truly, William Randolph Clyster. -DOLORES BROWN, English 4. Forty-nine 5 Fifty UNDER THE MAGNIFYING GLASS Did it ever occur to you on Christmas day, when you sat down to the turkey and cranberry sauce, and all the other fixings, how many hours of preparation, and how many persons had contributed of their time and skill to bring about the final product- the feast? In the same way, do we know how many teachers, and good friends out of school give of their time and of their skill along some particular line, and share their posses- sions to make these plays of ours a success? Along with the coach, who spends a lot of nervous energy in working on poise, enunciation, interpretation, and all the etceteras, for days and nights preceding the play, comes a retinue of helpers who are often lost sight of. In this play it was Miss Andrews who followed up scenery, and that was a real undertaking. Miss Graham ran down properties-from sofas to soap. Nothing was overlooked here. Behind the scenes Miss Belat changed the familiar countenances of the players. Miss Newell assisted with the costumes-preparations for a coronation ball would not have consumed more time. Mrs. Wicklund did a fine job on the publicity work. Remember the hello cards? And did you know that Mr. Elton wrote the limericks? Miss Hopkins put in con- siderable time in handling the ticket sale. Mrs. Bolland took charge of the advertising for the programs, and you know what a job it is now to get advertising. Miss Parker arranged for plenty of publicity through the school paper. This is the most effective way of getting news before the student public, hence space is always at a premium. Mr. Burnett, on the night of the performance, took charge of the main floor of the auditoriumg Mr. O'Mealy the second floor 3 Mr. Haroun helped backstageg Mr. Learned gave of his time in drawing up a seating plan of the house. Then there are people on the outside to whom We had to look for help. Such people as the Fausts-Mrs. Faust cooperated in a dozen different ways at our practices as well as cooking chicken for us for the play proper 3 Mrs. Silvanus Kingsley loaned a settee, an antique which we know to be doubly dear as antiques are sure to be. Mrs. Robison also loaned us an antique settee. Mrs. J. R. Swift loaned tapestry, and lovely old silver, as well as furniture. To say we are grateful is not enough, yet it is all the words we have for expressing ourselves publicly. - Come Out of the Kitchen , Senior Class Play. Fifty-one A s ' H. J.

I suppose it is because I have always prided myself on being plain spoken-I like to call a spade a spade. When I enrolled in this school, I fully expected that I should be associated with and surrounded by ambitious, intelligent, and serious-minded students and teachers. Now imagine my chagrin and disappointment to find myself graduating in the midst of a bunch of frivolous souls-frivolous without exception. And of all the irresponsible and careless and highty-tighty classmates, these of June 1932, I frankly believe are the worst. Have you seen or heard of the seniors doing anything for the past year? As far as I have been able to discover, we have been much more interested in learning the latest dance tunes or the latest bit of slang than hi mastering our bookkeeping or shorthand. The freshmen are inexpressibly immature. fNumber of pounds they all weigh, not active in vaudeville, glee club, art, all of them quiet., They even stand up in assemblies when they should be seated like all the rest of us. The 3 and 4 termers are only slightly if any better-they see more, I suppose. Most of them show their true dispositions by trying to imitate upper classmen, chewing gum, talking, and taking the best seats in assembly. They never support anything. If it weren't for the faculty we wouldn't have any attendance at our games. The 5 and 6 termers seem to be all over the building and never in their class- rooms. How long some of them will succeed in remaining at large is a question. I shudder to think of the swelled heads they are developing. If it were possible I should pass in silence the matter of the January '33 class, the next class to finish. I have been associated with many of them and know all too well their weaknesses and failures. I don't believe any of them have made their presence felt. All in all, it seems to me we are a hopeless lot! Nobody knows us in the field of athletics-other schools just use our teams for practice games. We haven't any pretty girls, but we are comforted by the fact that nowadays complexions are appliqued over the surface. It has been rather shocking to see both boys and girls powdering their noses and applying laboratory roses to their countenances in public. But, if they are satisfied with the hand-painted effects achieved, I for one can put up with it. As a school we have been singularly unfortunate in the kinds of teachers. They have wanted to be in the limelight all the time. They have seemingly been anxious that the rest of us do the work while they gather to themselves the credit and honors. But of this faculty the least said the better. Why should we discuss unpleasant topics? How can we feel kindly toward them when we look back upon the altogether unreason- able exactions each of our teachers has made upon us now that our class is about to leave? Our principal and dean have had no confidence in us. They have watched us scan- dalously. They have been unduly exacting! Really, there have been times all through the year when I doubted that we should ever graduate. On the one hand I congratulate my class that under the circumstances they have ever done so. And on the other hand, I congratulate the faculty that, con- sidering the material with which they had to work-myself excepted-that they have hoed to the end of the row. We are going forth into the big, round world, and what the world is going to do with us I can't imagine. Anyway We would have those of you who can possibly manage it, remember us kindly.

We feel that this graduating class of june 1932 has as many promising boys and girls as other graduating classes have had. In fact, we think we are the best class that has ever graduated. From East to West, North to South, and from even distant lands come the mem- bers of this class. Portland, the city of roses, claims 83 of our members, 59 came from outside of Portland, five from Canada, and four from foreign countries of Australia, Germany, Poland and England. To work one's way through school these days means a lot to the average boy and girl, when rarely can he participate in outside activities, and much less enjoy them. Several members of our class have succeeded to come to this graduation day and have worked through to the end. More credit is due to these boys and girls, who in spite of the difficulties they have had, have stayed with our class to graduate with us. And our Honor Roll! We have several members who have been on the Honor Roll for achieving E's in four major subjects. Dorothy Skeels has been on the Honor Roll for two years. Thelma Nelson for five terms, Marie Jobe eight quarters, Pearl Denley and Cecile Erickson three quar- ters, and a few others two quarters or less. We are proud to claim Loene Gibson as an outstanding member of our class. She was first in the school Fire Prevention Contest, third in the city Fire Prevention Con- test, and received honorable mention in the Powers Letter Writing Contest. Then, we have poets. Do you know that Wm. Johnson is the author of the song which has been sung for you by our senior boys? Also, he has many poems to his credit. Dorothy Skeels and Inez Brannin both won a first prize in the Ledger Poetry Contest. Our class poem was written by Inez Brannin. Helen Hansen has also contributed some excellent poetry. We think we have some good musicians as well as singers, such as Emma Werner, who will sing for you, and Princess Jeanne Van Dersal, who will lead our class song. Several of our girls belong to the Glee Club and a few of them have sung over the radio and other public places. We have Ralph Greener, who can sing, play the piano and saxophone, and who will play the clarinet for you. Edith Churchley is already an accomplished violinist. We are not ashamed of our accomplishments nor are we ashamed of our achieve- ments in school. Our boys and girls have established records, have won honors for themselves, and have bestowed upon the other members of this school examples of high scholarship and high ideals. For instance, many of our students have acquired enviable skill in writing short- hand. Of 150 members, 68 have won the 80-word a minute award, a speed which turns out an eflicient oflice worker. Even 10 of our members have acquired the 100-word award. We feel we are well on our way to break our school shorthand record, which is 140 words a minute and which has been acquired by only two members of our school. Who knows that before our last day here that some of us might break this record? If you have never seen fast and speedy fingers, you ought to see some of our typists. About 45 per cent of our class have awards in typing from 30 to 40 words a minute with only the few limited errors allowed. Fifty-five LE.l2BER, ... P 1 ? .

Isn't this a record to be proud of? We don't think we're so bad. In these days of late busses, and often of three changes of street cars before getting to school, and of many parties, we have a student in our class Who has never been tardy nor absent in her four years of school. This student is no other than Beatrice Stephens. Our girls have been most loyal to the school through the Sorosis Clubs. So many of our girls at some time or another during the last year have given all of their energy and time for Sorosis activities. We have heard from the world of sports through Mario Marchi, Thomas Kelly, Dale Johnson and Fred Segrin, and from our tennis players, W. West, Dot Brenner, Esther Oakes. Now what has the future in store for us? Thirty of our members are making plans to go on to college. Ten already have been fortunate enough to be placed at Work. Della Drew has been fortunate enough by a gift to take a trip to Cordova, Alaska. Opal Emigh has been placed as manager for a dressmaking shop. When we're dressed up, we think we are just as good looking as any other mem- bers of the graduating class. Aren't our girls pretty and our boys handsome, today of all days? Now don't you think that we are justified in having a little pride in ourselves? Therefore, We are looking toward the future with hopeful eyes.

Why, when the birds begin to sing, A nd' build their nests in trees Among the many, new-green leaves. These are signs of spring! When the flowers come through the ground Thanking the sun, big and round, Flowers of colors, red, yellow, and bluej Oh, flowers of every imaginable hue. These are signs of spring! Flying around are a few stray bees, New buds are on all the trees, The grass so green and new, The sky so clear and blue, These are signs of spring! -Joy RUSSELL. THE PEOPLE OF MY IDEAL I like the people who are glad, And not the people who are sad. I like the people who don't cry, 11 nd always do their best-and try. I like the people who don't fear At every little noise they hear, And when they hear a little noise, Will never jump and spoil their poise. I like the people who are brave, And those who do not always rave, And those who, when asked to do Will do it with a heart that's true. These are the people that will sueceed, In every little or larger deed, And when these people are old and gray Will be remembered in every way. -FLORENCE NELSON Fifty-nine - iq - : AT' THE SEA The sea-rose, emerald, and sapphire, Glowing at sunset like the heart ofa fire, Cool, caressing, in the early morn, Dark blue when the night is born.
