Gllzum ill WE, THE MEMBERS of the Class of 1916, of the Corning Union High School, City of Corning, County of Tehama, and State of California, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and not acting under duress of the faculty, menace, fraud or undue influence of the Socity Circle of the Class of 1918, do hereby declare and make public this our Last Will and Testament: ' To wit: FIRST-To those who will have the honor of being the nxet class to graduate, in other words, the Juniors, we leave our ability to carry on class meetings in the most dignified and business-like manner without the assistance of Professor Burrell. SECOND-To the disorderly Sophomores we bequeath our art of repose. THIRD-To the Freshies we bequeath our social environ- ments.

My doors and I windows had not yet been put ing Ihad skele- v tons for steps, and lumber and sawdust covered my basement floors. 263555 Perhaps the best way to convey to you an idea of my growth and development would be 1515 to tell of the life of my favorite class--the 9fcf'e WM?5 Seniors of 1916. They grew and expanded with me, and I am proud of what they have accom- plished. Although the class has sadly diminished, the loyal and true stayed with it and have come out victors. Under the guardianship of Lucille Krans, as President, the class was safely piloted through their Freshman year. Many were the good times they had. There was a color rush between them and the Sophomoresg of course my favorites came out victorious, and the orange and black surmounted the purple and yellow. However, luck was against the girls when the Sophomore girls pulled out their nairpins and powered their hair with flour. Then there was a. picnic to the river in honor of the Seniors, which was of course a success. That year there were several strikes, as my doors were not put in till late: so when the cold winds came they blew right through meg and even when my doors were on their hinges, the heater wouldn't work. Let there be more heat! Through the second year of my existence, Leo Million was the president of the class. The number was greatly 'r I ' nfwrpnyr GLA as - - - - - - x. mx:.x:.x.'.mx:.x:.x 22 reduced, but those remaining kept on with faithful hearts, ever following the class motto, Onward and Upward!'? This year there were a few additions-Leonor Randall, Paul Burrell and Ralph Vincent. Leonor Randall entered the class of Sophomores on Hallowe'en, and if you want to know whether or not she can entertain, just ask the Seniors! In the Spring there was a moonlight picnic to the river, but before they got home, big dollar drops of rain fell, which, however, did not spoil the fun. When I was three years old, the class was diminished still more-it was less than half the number that it had been in 1812. Harold Beresford was President this year. There were two new pupils, Marion Wright, from Iowa, and William Walker, of Ohio. That year I was surprised to see the girls of the school turn out to a High Jinks. They are going to make it a custom of the school. The Juniors gave a play, A Prairie Rose, on March 29, 1915, with Miss Stringfield as coach, and it turned out to be a ripping good success. This year, my fondest hopes for the class have been realized, and they have blossomed out into a graduating class of twenty-three, the largest yet that has received diplomas from my halls of learning. Bessie Stussy is the guardian spirit of the class, which is one of the jolliest ever found in Corning Union High. The various enterprises which they have undertaken have all been successful. The Carnival this year was superintended by them, and was a decided success. The play, Anne of Old Salem, was given May 26, and of course the Seniors lived up to their reputa- tion of coming out victorious in all they undertake. The class will graduate June 16, and although going out of my active life, I am sure they will always think of me with love and regret that the good old days are no more. Never have I cared for a class as I have this one, and never again shall care as much for any other. CORNING UNION HIGH SCHOOL. Per M.C.S.

We regret that all the members of our last year's Class have not been able to remain with us through this year, for we feel that they have missed one of the most interesting years of our Class' existence. Greatly do we miss the smiling face of our last year's President, Alfred Kuhn. Ruth Hoffman, Katherine Tuck and Elizabeth Cockcroft, are also among the missing. Katherine 24 Tuck is prominent in the school life of a certain Montana High, and we all know of the laurels won by Elizabeth Cockcroft, when she played leading ladys in Quality Street, a play given by Alameda High School. Elwood Arrowsmith joined our ranks during the month of March, coming from Oakdale High School. ' Our Class contributed largely to both basket ball teams, and have been prominent in school life. Several of our number participated in the Japanese 0peretta, given by the Sopho- mores. Velma Lyon played the accompaniments. The Juniors decided to give a play. As a result The Twig of Thorns, was chosen. Miss Albee was unanimously voted coach. The banquet given by the Juniors, in honor of the Seniors proved very successful. The remaining question is Which was the best, the 'eats' or the programme ?' 25 i SOPHOMORE NOTES Class Colors .... .......................

The program com- mittee was greatly congratulated for successfully entertain- ing the class with games and music. The Class was also suc- cessful in retaining their delicious refreshments as several attempts were made to snipe them. February 4, 1914:- A Japanese Operetta, Princess Chrysanthemum was given in the Maywood Opera House by the Sophomore Glee Club. As it proved to be favorably received the club intends to give another next year. They are also very fortunate in having such a patient, loving guide as their organizer, Miss Brown.

March 3, 1916:- The Darkies were entertained at the home of Miss Brown and were caught in the web she had spun for them. They found many things there which amused them during the evening. The damp weather outside had no effect on their spirits and after partaking of the lovely repast at the Oasis which she had had prepared for them, they departed, all de- claring her the best hostess. -F.

They must have studied hardg For we tried very long to be, The wisest among the bards. The Seniors look among our ranks, And think-what girls and boys Can be so very, very, wiseg They call us but their 'toys.

CARDINAL GREETINGS TO THE PUBLIC This, the thirteenth edition of the Cardinal, is now brought before the public for comment. We have had many difficulties to encounter, but at last we have succeeded in presenting a publication of which we are not ashamed. Our policy has been, not to put out as cheap a book os possible, but to publish as good a one as we can for the sum obtainable, and we hope that we will not leave the school indebted. To accomplish this end, it has been necessary for us to make some changes, which however, are beneficial rather than detrimental to the paper. We have cut the size of the magazine down, thus saving a reasonable amount in paper and cuts. The price of paper and ink is so high at present, due to the European War, that the smaller size will cost as much as the size that has been used in previous years. We have bought the best paper, ink to match it, and have printed on the paper the annals of the classes and their pro- ceedings, both scholastic and social. The students' daily wit and humor has also found a welcome place between these covers. If you are for any cause dissatisfied with our attempt, be reasonable, gentle reader, and accept our well-aimed though faulty efforts. FFP Too bad enough interest was not displayed in baseball and track to form teams. PPG Have you forgotten the rally held on the High School steps last fall? Better have more of them next year. 30 It is our earnest desire that the classes coming into, and those already attending C. U. H. S., will have, in the future, enough interest in the proceedings of the institution to revive a long defunct school spirit. 47 4' 4' Here is a suggestion which we are desirous of placing before the Student Body officers, which, we are confident, will greatly benefit the Association financially, if not also promote a better organization. In the past, a student could belong to the Association by paying fifteen cents initiation and ten cents per month for the school year. There are serious faults with this plan. The students fail to pay and all the while are taking part in the Student Body activities. It gives no permanent organization outside of the doors where the meetings are held. This con- dition can be greatly improved by the following plan: The dues charged to belong be a set amount, optional with the officers, payable upon admittance in full. The student then to be given a card entitling him to free admittance to ball games, thus getting an organized student body for yelling pur- poses. The card also is to be shown by him before he has use of the gym, or tennis courts or is allowed to hold class ofiices or be a member of the Cardinal Staff. lf this plan could be acted upon, a much better organization would result. PIP We very cheerfully congratulate the students who have participated in any musical attractions given by the High School. All of these attractions were of great value to the school, but does that begin to compare with the value received by the students who got the training? No, the value received by them in training is Worth far more, nor can it be judged in gold and silver. Why is music not taught before? It is neglected entirely and has been for some years. There is a great amount of talent buried around the school. Why not make an attempt at least to find and cultivate the talent, thus adding a valuable asset to the school? There are various ways in which this could be done. For instance, singing in assembly two or three times a week. Literary programmes with musical numbers. These are merely suggestions, but we hope they will in gold and silver. Why is music not taught here? It is be duly considered. Perhaps the school could afford to hire a 31 music teacher at least once a week if interest in music was aroused. Q Q wr In a great many schools, it is the custom of the graduating class to present the school with some piece of art-a picture or some other form of ornament which bears the name of the class, which presents it. This is done with the money that the class has left at their graduation. Why is it not done in Corning? We express the fear that school spirit is lacking. Let the next Senior Class as they graduate present the institu- tion that educated them with some such show of appreciation. If this is done, the school, in a few years will be much better decorated, and the custom will be installed which has prevailed throughout the east for a great many years.

Several times I heard the word Seniors, and wondered what it meant. I heard some names, with titles at the end, 1 racked my brains to flnd what these strange doings wereg but could find no answer: So I'll give them to you to translate as best you can. They were: Bessie Stussy, Presidentg Winona Issac, Vice-President, Dean Harness, Secretary, Harley Simpson, Treasurer. About a week after this I heard some-of the girls talk- ing about organizing the Freshman class. These mysterious doings have kept up all year, and every now and then, when I had no sooner settled down for another good nap, along would come the same bunch, and straightway make my temperature rise to fever heat. Sev- eral times I am sure I nearly awake for words which I could not understand would come thick and fast, and it kept me pretty hot. I think I have been real good, and not gossiped about it, but there has come a time when I must tell or go crazy, so I'll confide in you, as I know you'll keep my secret. Sometime in October I heard them speak of class rings and pins, and after Christmas I heard the same words, only this time some of the bunch had little gold bands on their fingers and the others wore dots of gold on their coats and blouses. One of the girls, whom they called Lucille Krans, left 33 school at the end of the first semester to attend the Chico Normal, and the Senior girls, together with the Juniors in Household Chemistry, gave her a surprise party. And it was some surprise! Miss Brown furnished the eats, so you may guess how good they were. In February these Seniors supervised a Carnival to finance the Cardinal, and Cas I gathered from their conversation,J though the weather was bad, as usual when something im- portant happens, the people very generously opened their pocketbooks and made the Carnival a success. On several occasions I heard them talk about a Class Play. Eventually they decided on Anne of Old Salem, and the date was set for May 26. Two or three times I've heard the word, Sneak Day whispered in solemn tones, so it must be something mys- terious. The apex of all their ambitions seems to be June 16, they speak of it as Commencement Day. Now, if you can tell what it all is about, you are much wiser than I. I only hope that after commencement I shall be undisturbed for a good long summer's sleep. sl' A i l ' ' Fi if' . lx , I, .

S., 1916 Q '- That the Students' Association is becoming more im- portant every year is shown by the added interest in its activities. Nearly all members of the school are members of the Association. This union of classes has done much to centralize interest in school activities, and this will undoubtedly result in more school spirit, which is the life of a high school We are proud, and believe the people of Corning and the vicinity have reason to be proud of the progress made by the school during the past year. But we have had many difficulties with which to contend. Last year we resolved to make the Cardinal self- supporting and so start the new term free from debt. Owing to the fact that some Cardinals were not sold we found ourselves encumbered with a debt of over thirty-five dollars. The cost of financing the athletic teams has been greatly increased during the past year. Nevertheless we have financed two basket ball teams and a tennis team. Some interest also was aroused in baseball and track, and next year we expect to hear from these sports. For the second success- ive year the boys' basket ball team has won the championship, an honor of which any school should be proud. In order to pay the Cardinal debt, the Students' Asso- ciation voted to give a carnival. Altho we had little time to plan and to carry out our plans the carnival? was a great success. The elements seemed against us, yet the attendance was good and we were able to pay all our debts and at the same time place some money in the treasury as a beginning of this year's Cardinal fund. Our last effort is the Cardinal. The editor and his staff have worked hard and now we submit for your approval this paper containing the best literary effort of the Corning High School. PAUL D.

'I HE strangest of all houses in the little village of Rockport belonged to Peter Schiller. Rockport was a fishing town situated on a rocky clii near the ocean. The cottage was built on a promontory. some distance from the rest of the village. In if LV . . winter, the waves dashed h1gh around the house which was sometimes hidden from view by the spraf The people feared for old Peter's safety but he did not seem to mind the wavesg in fact he rather delighted in them and because of this foolhardiness some people thought him crazy. Pete was a very mysterious creature. Some thought him in league with the devil and the blame for all bad luck fell on Pete's square shoulders. The children all feared him and with good reason. Had not their mothers hushed their crying with the words, Hush or Old Pete will get you. In fact the whole village viewed him with a mixture of reverence and fear. Yet there was nothing in his ap- pearance to cause fear. He was tall and erect. His hair was iron gray and his face which showed great strength and firmness was sad. His eyes were black and piercing. His whole bearing was that of a soldier, tho laboring under some sorrow. Once a week, on Saturday, Pete would slowly climb to the villlage and purchase his small stock of provisions. He then would go to the Post Office and with a look of longing on his sad face would ask for his mail, always to receive the same answer, No mail today, Mr. Schiller. Pete then would buy a weekly Portland newspaper and return home. This program was very seldom varied and the people always expected Pete on Saturday afternoon. One Saturday, contrary to his custom, Pete failed to appear. Sunday passed-then Monday. The whole populace 39 of Rockport was wondering why he did not come. Various theories were advanced, the most common was that he had by some sort of magic transported himself away. There was no sign of life around the cottage and at last one of the bolder young men walked down the rickety walk to Peter's house to investigate. He knocked on the door and was surprised to hear a feeble voice say, Come in. The young man stepped inside. He was the first to see the inside of Old Pete's house. There were two living rooms. The first was a kitchen and living room combined. It was very simply furnished. In one corner was a stove, near it was a small supboard. A table and two chairs completed the furnishing. There were no pictures on the wall and the uncarpeted floor was scrupulously clean. The young man entered the other room in reply to Pete's Who is it ? and saw Pete lying upon an old bed. A doctor was called who said that Pete had had some shock and was weak from lack of food. The doctor left some medicine and installed the young fellow, Bob, as nurse. The bed room contained one chair, a bed and a heavy iron-bound chest. Above the foot of the bed a German flag was nailed on the wall. To amuse Pete, Bob read him the papers and he noticed Pete was especially interested in the war in Europe. One day while making the bed, Bob found a week- old paper, telling of the outbreak of the war and of Ger- many's entering it, but he did not think this had anything to do with Pete's sickness. In a week Pete was well and dismissed the young man who returned to the village with tales of the treasure chest in Pete's bed room. Rumor ran wild. All thought the mys- tery explained. Pete was a miser or a criminal. The news got in the Portland papers relating a story of the Miser of Rockport. The story contained an account of Pete's sick- ness and also much about the treasure chest. The next Saturday, Pete came to town. All stood aside as he passed. He seemed a little older yet his step was as firm and his eyes as piercing as before. One man tried to worm some information out of him but met with scant suc- cess. Pete's air in dealing with the inquisitive one was that of a born commander and all knew that at some time, some- where, Pete had been accustomed to giving orders. From this time on, Pete came to town every day to get 40 the daily paper in which he eagerly devoured the news, especially that in regard to the war in Europe. One evening a distinguished visitor, whose civilian clothes did not con- ceal the soldier, came to the village. He asked for Mr. Peter Schiller and the same young man who had helped Pete be- fore, volunteered to show the way. When they arrived at the home of Peter, the stranger knocked. No one came to the door. He knocked again, more loudly and they heard a voice say, Come in. They entered. Pete was again lying on the bed. The sick man tried feebly to rise but failed, then lying there he saluted the man stand- ing in the door-way and whispered, Captain Muller. There were drops of perspiration on the forehead and he was pant- ing from his great effort. The man addressed as Captain Muller dropped on his knees beside the bed and in a choking voice said, Mein alter Komerad, but the one addressed had not heard it. The shock had been too much for him and he was unconscious. While watching by the bedside for Peter to regain consciousness Muller told this story: Years ago, over in Prussia, Schiller and I had been friends. We were boys together, had grown up together and had at the same time joined the army. By good chance we both won places in the same regiment, the Twenty- Eighth. This regiment was composed of picked men and had earned the name, the Pride of Prussia. The founder of the regiment, according to the tradition, was Frederic Barbarossa and since his time it had been the favorite regi- ment of King or Kaiser. Every man in the regiment valued the honor of the regiment above his own honor and his life. During the Franco-Prussian war the Pride of Prus- sia was always in the front. Schiller and I were both lieutenants. During one battle the enemy had taken posses- sion of a small grove. From this grove their sharp-shooters had been able to pick off our men. It was almost impossible to dislodge the enemy as they were supported by artillery in the rear. The Pride of Prussia was called upon, at last to drive them out and we were ordered to charge across the open field in the face of the terrible fire of both infantry and artillery. The men knew they faced almost certain death but cheerfully they advanced, the honor of the regiment had to be preserved. We advanced. The enemy's fire Was fearful. We had 41 scarcely gained half the distance when our color-bearer fell. The lines were falling into confusion, when Schiller took up the ensign and we Went on. We had nearly reached the grove when the cavalry of the French concealed behind the grove charged us. A French cavalryman rode down Schiller who lost the colors. Before Schiller could recover the stand- ard, another of our regiment siezed it and led us on. I was the only one who had seen Peter and the Frenchman strug- gl eand I knew Peter was not afraid to cary the colors. The charge failed, but he who had taken the staff from Peter, led our shattered ranks back in good order. A general watching the charge thru his glasses had seen Peter hesitate and then drop the colors. He had seen the other take the staff and lead us on. He too thought Peter had showed cowardice. The one that recovered the ensign received an iron cross for valor and was promoted. I tried to plead for Schiller but he who had stolen the honor out-ranked me and I could do nothing. Peter was literally hounded from the regiment. He left Germany at the close of the war and came to America and I lost all track of him. In the first battle of the present war the one who had usurped Schiller's honor was mortally Wounded. Before he died he confessed that he had, after the charge, forty-three years before, taken the standard from Schiller and then destroyed his honor by saying that Schiller threw it away in order to escape. I told the general the facts and I re- ceived leave of absence to look for my old friend. At last in a Portland newspaper I read an article about the Miser of Rockport. I thought it might be Lieutenant Peter Schiller of the Twenty-Eighth. A stir in the bed, then a sigh! Peter was conscious again. He had heard the last of the Captain's story. Go on, he begged, it has been many years since I heard that name and title. The Captain gave Peter some medicine and then continued: ' I came to Rockport and have found my old comrade. Listen, I have here a commission from the Kaiser himself, who has heard your story. Colonel Schiller of the Twenty- Eighth, I salute you. Friend, was the answer. I am too weak to go to Germany again. I know-do not interrupt me-that I have not long to live. Help me, Comrade, I must die in my old 42 uniform in which I fought for the Fatherland. It is in that chest there. A little while later Colonel Peter Schiller in the uniform of a Lieutenant of the Pride of Prussia was lying on the bed. He was dying. Suddenly he sat upright. He grasped his sword firmly and with fire flashing from his black eyes, Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles, then he fell back. Muller was at his side in an instant but the heart which so long had been true to the Fotherland was silent. The old soldier stood straight as an arrow beside the bed-side of his friend. His head was bare as he looked at the flag above the bed. Very carefully he took the flag down and spread it over the motionless figure with the sword still firmly grasp- ed. Then in a choking voice he said, Colonel Peter Schiller, of the Twenty-Eighth, Aufwiedersehen, Komeradf' and taking an iron cross from his own breast pinned it on Peter's. P. D. B., 'l6.

AF4 winter day as I was trying to make my way through the snow to one of the neighbors, when . 1-93 my mind was changed. I saw a dark object on M Q4 ' 'x NME the edge of a small stream about one hundred yards xffx A-A f 42.4 .-1 9. from Where I was standing. I didn't think it was anything of any importance but still I knew it wou1dn't do any harm to go and see what it Was, and I started to investigate. The Hrst thing that I noticed was a barley sack that appeared to have a small obect tied up in it. Then I heard something whining. First I thought it was some one calling me, andj I turned to look toward the houseg however I was not long finding out that it was no call for me, and as I turned around to examine the sack I at once saw through the whole thing. I knew that some one had more little puppies than were wanted and had tied them up in that sack and had thrown them into the water. But they had forgotten to put a rock in the sack, so they were bound to float ashore. VVhen I opened the sack and looked in I found that there were two puppies still living out of five, the other three were dead and cold. I first thought I would throw them back into the water and put them out of their misery, but my courage failed me. I put them both into my pocket and started for home. I made up my mind then to keep them and care for them just as I cared for the horses and cows. When I reached home I started to enter the house, but suddenly stopped and began to think what I was doing. I almost knew Mother wouldn't allow me to keep them so 46 what was the use of taking them in the house? I took them to the barn and made them a bed in the grain box. I well knew I had full charge of thes table so there was no danger of anybody's finding them there. Before I put them to bed, I took them into the hog shed and allowed them to rob two or three little pigs of their dinnner. It was three months before my secret was found out, and I would rather think it would have been three years if they hadn't barked too loudly one morning as they were greeting me in the barn. I didn't suspect that my Mother had heard them barking until I returned to the house and she inquired of me where the dogs were that were barking. Then I was forced to tell the whole story, and to my surprise she was not angry with me, and she even asked me to bring them to the house and I did this with the greatest pleasure. I often thought how foolish I was to keep them hidden in the barn all that time. I named the smallest of them Rob and the other one Bod. Bod seemed to the smartest in most every way, and I think I favored him a great deal. When they were a year old I gave Rob to my cousin but I kept Bod for myself. At the end of two years Bod had more friends than the parrot did and she knew it and grew quite jealous of him. Even though he had many friends he never left me for a single one of them. One morning in mid-winter the cows broke down the gate and escaped into the timbered country. When I found out that the cows were gone I knew it was up to Bod and me to go and find them. My folks wanted me to ride a horse but it was so cold that I preferred walk- ing. I expected the cows to be at Rocky Butte which was three miles from home. On account of the snow being so soft, I was nearly two hours in reaching the Rocky Butte. When I arrived there, I was greatly disappointed to find that the cows were not there. As near frozen as I was I ventured on through and beyond a brush thicket hoping to find them some where. At last I went so far that I didn't even know which direction I was going. When I began to suspect that I was lost I set out in the direction in which I thought home to be but I was badly 47 mistaken. At last it began to snow. It fell so thick and fast that I could hardly keep track of Bod. Tired and nearly frozen, I was finally forced to seek shelter in a hollow log that I was fortunate enough to find. Through my pain and restlessness over being lost and nearly frozen, I didn't notice Bod much until I heard him barking at a distance. I tried to rise and see what he was barking at, but I was frozen so stiff, that I could not. In another moment I heard horse feet clapping on the frozen snow. Before I could think what it was Bod was licking my hand. I hadn't hardly time to speak to him when I was pulled out of the log by the foot, then I was wrapped up in several fur coats and put in the sleigh drawn by four horses. Then I realized how long I had been in that hollow log and Where Bod had been all that time. I was so well wrapped up that I couldn't see but I could hear a little. I could hear well enough to recognize my brother's voice as he was coaxing the horses along as fast as possible. I never forgot how I saved Bod and how Bod saved me. CHARLES AZEVEDO.

He's just the cutest thing you ever saw and has long, curly, white hair. ' One day when I was sick and Mother was very busy some- body had forgotten to close the door and Mister Bennie walked right in and ate up Father's most beloved book. Gee, but he was mad! That is, Father was. Now look at that, he said, holding up the remains of his book. I was just coming into the room when I saw Bennie and he was contentedly chewing away. I guess he'll have to be killed. I can't stand his actions any longer. It was only yesterday he ate your Mother's choicest rosebushf' I can't help it, I said, please don't have him killed, Daddy. He doesn't know any better. Well, said Father, I will not have him killed this time but the very next time he acts like that he is going to be done away with and all your crying and pleading will not save him. After that torrent of words Father went out and I forgot all my worldly troubles in sleep. Next morning I still felt rather sick and decided not to get up right away. About noon I felt better and decided to get up. When I went down stairs what do you think had happened? Mother had been Washing but had had to go to the grocery down the street. During the time she was away Bennie had torn her best table cloth from the line and also my favorite dress and was chewing away very contentedly. 49 Gee Whiz! I thought, whatever will Mamma and Daddy say? Bennie surely will be killed this time. At this thought I began to cry but gave it up quickly as I saw Mother approach- ing. I ran quickly into her room and grabbed her powder and dabbed it on as quickly as possible. Now, I thought, since I look all white and pale I can beg more effectively for Bennie's life. I ran down stairs just in time to keep the dinner from burning. That deed, I thought, will help to save Bennie's life. Mamma and Daddy were both furious when they found out what Bennie had done. You shall not keep that goat another day, Mother said, he destroys more in one day than he's worth and my nerves simply won't stand it any longer. Yes, Daddy said, you are right. He shall be killed or at least sold. It was, however, above their power to add or detract. Bennie had eaten some poison fiy paper mother had just brought from the grocery. She had carelessly left the groceries on the steps and among the groceries he had eaten was the fly paper. He was the sorriest goat you ever saw. He turned absolutely purple around his mouth. We had the veterinary but it wastoo late. On his tombstone it says, Long may his memory live. ORZELLE COLLINS, '19, 1 '! Q m?N 1427, SSA 50 THE FLOWERS One flower said, What a beautiful day!

California, june I6, l9I6 No. I Published by the junior Class Corning Union High School Introduction to the Spectator As I have found that people seldom enjoy a book or maga- zine unless they know some- thing of its author, I will en- deavor to tell all I can about myself and have no doubt that you will easily recognize me from this description. I am a silent person and live rather as a spectator of student life then as one who has any part in it. I can usually be found at the edge of a crowd and from this position I have excellent opportunities to study the faults and virtues of my school mates. I am never par- tial and so can discover many things which often escape other people. In the following papers you will find that I have satirized the evils of our school. My pur- pose has not been to criticise any person or class of persons but to correct those evils which are prevalent among us. Doubt- less you will find that my specu- lations do not concern you but please accept in a kindly spirit the advice of Your humble friend, THE SPECTATORJ' Speculations on Class Spirit I sat very late nast night in company with a select body of friends who entertained me with reminiscences of their school days. One in particular, inter- ested me with his remarks. We all paid particular attention to his discourse as much because of the candid and ingenious with which he delivered him- self as by the strength of his arguments. He began by lamenting the recent occurences in the public school and added that in his time such affairs never happen- ed. The conditions in his time I found to have been as fol- lows: The students in the High School made study their chief aim in life. They en- deavored each day to recite their lessons perfectly. The students were also very loyal to their own classes and indeed believed that their own class was the most remarkable in existence. No petty disputes and rivalries occurred in the class, each member desiring only that which was wanted by all. This fact was especially noticed in regard to the Senior 52 class and indeed the faculty devote those few hours to ear- often commented upon the har- monious atmosphere which pre- vailed in their meetings. The class Presidents in this school were also noted for their digni- fied behaviour and seemed to feel that the honor of the class was in their hands. Another friend, while agree- ing with all that had been said, proceeded to narrate the things which had especially impressed him. He said that in his school the upper class men united in their efforts for the welfare of the school. They always settled the disputes of the Freshmen and enforced discipline upon all. The Seniors tried continually to set a good example before the school. They never infringed upon the rights of the lower classmen and by their generos- ity and tact secured the respect of all. I do not think that these facts can be too much inculcated nor should students forget that gen- erosity and kindliness are as im- portant in classes as in indivi- viduals. School Spirit. There was a great hubub in class the other day and it called forth an answer from the teach- er. She said the class room was not the place to settle class con- iiicts. I quite agreed with her. There are only seven hours in school a day, should we not nest study? Class quarrels should come before or after school hours. But why have quarrels at all? Our school is what we made it. All the students have equal rights, all have the same privi- leges of choosing subjects, of graduating, of taking part in athletics. If honor or distinc- tion is shown to any one pupil it is because he or she deserves it. With all these common inter- ests in view, should we get an- gry because we know Sally Brown or Peter Jones, can per- form some feat better than We could? If we strive, there sure- ly is a duty we could perform better than they. We should never allow our jealous rage to get the better of our school spirit. Procrastination. Procrastination is a very com- mon habit among the members of Corning Union High School, though of course, no more so here than elsewhere, in high schools. Procrastination, here is ex- emplified, most noticeably, by a girl who puts off her lessons, for the sake of a magazine, until the scarcity of time forces her to sit up late at night, to even half-do her work. The next morning she is sleepy and does not get out of bed, when her 53 Q. . mother calls her, consequently, but when he began to speak of when she does rise, it is so late that she has to hurry, in order to be ready, by the time her brother is. She stands before the glass, so long trying to im- prove her appearance that she is very nearly late to school. All through the day she pro- crastinates. To finish the day, after school, she waits, and her chum waitsg but if either were asked why she delays so long she could not tell. This pre- vents the two girls from get- ting home at any reasonable time, and if a book or magazine is in sight, their lessons suffer again in the same old way. The person whom I have been writ- ing about is none other than myself. Much May be Said on Either Side. Not long ago while walking with my friend, a remark was made to the effect, that it was such a nice afternoon it would be pleasant to spend the re- maining hours in the country. My friend concluded by saying that he thought one could learn a great deal through the simple and invigorating country lifeg and added that the very might- iness of the oaks is inspiring, to say nothing of the birds, bees and butterflies. I said nothing for a while, the advantages and benefits of country life I could hold my peace no longer. r I then expressed my views. To me the city life affords great pleasure. The height of its massive buildings is more in- spiring than the largest of oaks. Would not man rather watch the great swarm 01' human be- ings hurrying hither and thith- er, all bent on some earnest task, than gaze upon the bees and butterflies. Idle creatures they, who flit from flower to flower taking only the best and sweetest of life. Then who could say the city has few ad- vantages. My companion said very little. Thinking I had won the argu- ment I suggested spending the afternoon at the matinee. That theatre always boasted of a good program, and was a thing country life could not afford. We had just started when we met Thomas White. Now Thom- as White was a man that held interests in town as well as country property, being a real estate dealer. My friend made the motion that we ask Tom his idea on town and country life. I was willing. After scratching his head and screwing up his face, Tom said, Well! Much may be said on either side. 54 L TMS +7 5 f' ivy LG'-W2 CMMS I v ' ' - CMMPHEOFN img NORTHERN CAL, il X Sveannn Qeuirm T--T0 -- BA M M 1 x p ' 3 ff ' ' ' A i6N1ffaN1f6N1VNI01fiO it lllll it ll i 1 it 1 1 Champions of Northern California! This was the title which our Basket Ball boys Won after five months of exciting playing. And the season of 1915-16 goes down in Basket Ball annals as the most successful one that Corning High School has ever had. With only one veteran to build a team around, practice began the second week of school. Husky Beresford was 56 elected Captain, and Pik Quinn, Manager, and they proved Worthy of their trust. Much of the success of the team was also due to the interest and help of Mr. McClean and Mr. Klein. WIN FIRST GAME Our first game was played at Willows. The fellows felt a little nervous-Willows took the lead at the start, and were still holding it at half-time. Then our boys found themselves, and came up from behind to the tune of 28-19. This victory augured well for the team Work and fighting spirit, which the quintet was to show all during the coming season. OVER CONFIDENCE LOSES - The following week, Willows came to Corning for a re- turn game. On their own floor and with the home crowd, the local boys felt sure of winning easily. It was this expectation which lost. The visitors played a steady game, and took our scalp home with them. Score-Willows, 295 Corning 22. VICTORY AT PRINCETON Neither a forty-mile auto trip to Princeton nor a rough out-door court daunted the fellows. Husky was every place, and made 15 of Corning's 23 points. Princeton, 7. ROUGH GAME WITH ORLAND In the Orland game, our boys showed the effect of clean coaching. They showed that they were developing a fair, fast style of play, which was superior to the brand played by most schools in this section. The Orland boys, being huskier than ours, seemed to have the idea that they would win by Hroughing it. The Corning boys kept their heads, and passed the ball all around them. Orland got the small end of a 35-13 score. A ONE-SIDED ENCOUN TER C. U. H. S. 54, Chico 10. Undoubtedly the crowd which gathered at the Maywood Opero House on October 30 got more enjoyment from the evening than the youngsters who repre- sented Chico Union High School. The latter were entirely dazzled by the speedy play of the locals, and were able to get only one field goal. We scored at will. 57 CORNING VS. RED BLUFF November 6-the long-looked-for date had come, and the Cardinal quintet, accompanied by enthusiastic rooters was en route to Red Bluff for their first league game! The team was not in best of condition-but they were determined to win. Red Bluff insisted upon the use of the 1915-16 rules. Corning's clean playing in the past now gave them a big advantage, for they were better able to comply with the strict- ness of the new rules than their opponents. The Red Bluff boys were worthy contenders, and the game belonged to anybody until the last two minutes of play. Then Captain Beresford threw a foul, and shortly after Collins tossed a basket, thus giving Corning the game by a 26-23 score. But Red Bluff was not satisfied with the referee's inter- pretation of the rules, and protested the game. Not one of the three faculty judges who 'reviewed the play considered that Red Bluff had any case, and the game was awarded to us. REDDING EASILY DOWNED Two weeks later, We entirely outclassed the Shasta Union aggregation by a 57-12 score, in the second league game. The Redding team was almost helpless against us, and before the contest was over they had forgotten what little they did know about basket ball. CLOSE GAME WITH ANDERSON On December 4 we journeyed to Anderson for the last sub-league game. The team did not play up to form because two of the men were not well. At half-time the score stood 6-6. In the second half Corning was clearly the aggressor, but was barely able to keep ahead. A few minutes before time we were six points ahead- then Anderson in quick succession shot two baskets. The whistle blew just in time, for Anderson was surely determined to tie if not win the score. Following Red Bluff's example, they also protested. And again the Faculty Committee unanimously voted in favor of Corning. This gave us the Sub-League championship. 58 PRINCETON TURNS TABLES Princeton won the return practice game 23-20. Our team was off that night, but the visitors played well, and were clearly entitled to the victory. CHRISTMAS GAME The Placer County champions, who were taking a tour of Northern California reached Corning Christmas day. The locals entertained them well that evening by administering a. 33-25 walloping. It was a splendid game, and the Auburn boys showed themselves to be good sports. ALUMNI FURNISH AMUSEMEN T With the old boys home from college, Christmas vaca- tion, the annual Alumni-High School game was inevitable. They didn't know anything about the new rules, so the game might have been mistaken by some spetcators for football. No one cared much about the score, but here it is-High School 14, Has Beens, 10. LEAGUE GAME WITH WILLOWS Willows, having won the championship of sub-league twi , came to Corning for the final fray. Due to the loss of two men, the Willows quintet was considerably weakened. and could put up only a poor opposition. The locals were all on their toes for the contest, and easily Won by a 41-24 score. CHAMPIONS OF LEAGUE -February 19 was set as the ,date for the Hnal game. and the boys went to Oroville, uncertain as to victory, but ready to put up the fight of their lives. The first half was anybody's, with the odds a little against us because of an unknown, slip- pery fioor. But Husky and hiscohorts found themselves the last ten minutes, and demonstrated to the Oroville crowd that they were unquestionablyythe better team. Consistent team-work and basket shooting gave us a 23-18 victory. It was a hard-fought game and a well-earned victoryg and showed that hard work and the stay with it spirit which was characteristic of the 1915-16 C. U. H. S. team are neces- sary for success. 59 Our League Championship conquest had now been tri- umphantly passed. We were now ready for outside conquests. This came in the form of a challenge from Lodi, who had won the Central California championship. LODI 29, C. U. H. S. 20 Again we were playing away from home, and the Lodi court was not a regulation one. Other causes also contributed to our defeat. A week later Lodi played Berkeley, who had won the Bay Counties championship. Berkeley won by a close 1..argin, and then played Whittier for the Championship of the state. Then we discovered that we had been competing with the best teams in the state! -in 2 .4 --W If rl- 'ymxfrbf .layff , 1 - 4. 3. fx 1' Q. f 6 O lil 60 XNF 5'f F N- '5l Q , 2 2 i 2 I A.A JxfyA AJLA,XA.

The next game, Corning versus Orland, was played in Corning. The score stood 19ito 12 in favor of Corning. On October 30, Chico came over for a practice game and we also won this game, 19 to 8. The following Saturday the first League game was played with Red Bluff, November 6th. Owing to superior height and greater confidence of the Red Bluff girls, perhaps because the game was played on their own court, they showed the greater advantageg but our girls kept their heads and played a clean game. The final score was 15 to 11 in favor of Red Bluff. The next game was played with Redding at Corning, No- vember 20. The score was in favor of Corning at the end of the first half but our girls did not play their usual game the last half and we lost with a score of 19 to 25. December 4th we played Anderson at Anderson. Corning lost with a score of 12 to 13. I.L.W., '17. 62 Glennie: EARLY in the Spring it was evident that we had a strong array of tennis players from which the teams could be chosen to represent Corning High School in, the Northern California Tennis Meet to be held at Chico, May 20. Several weeks of practice and try outs decided that Melvin McClean should play in the singles and that Paul Burrell and Eugene Chalstran would compose the doubles team. Many schools were represented in the Meet, and the play- ing was superior to that of any former year. In the preliminaries McClean had little trouble in defeating Anderson of Oroville. His speedy service proved too much for the Oroville man, and the match was won in two sets, 6-0, 6-2. It was apparent to the spectators that Corning would figure in the Championship. McClean met Linebarger of Chico in the semi-finals, and won an exciting match, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2. The Chico man had a big handicap due to the rooting of his High School supporters and his acquaintance with the court. The final battle for the championship was between McClean and Hanson of Marysville. Marysville had defeated Redding and Biggs. Because of his steady playing in the previous matches, the grandstand favored McClean. But Hanson's greater experience and participation in former meets made him the better mang and his steady drive won the set and the championship. In doubles, Burrell and Chalstran met Kaney brothers of Chico. We were unfortunate in drawing so strong a team for the first round-Chico later won the championship. The Corning team played steady, and did their best work of the season. Burrell played especially good at the net and Chalstran kept the back courts well covered. Although beaten in two straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, the boys did well against so formidable an opponent. The Chico team easily forced its way through to the finals by defeating Biggs. They then Won the championship by defeating Willows in the finals to a 6-2, 6-1 match, the Willows team thus putting up a poorer defense than our boys. Although not winning their match, the Corning team was surely to be classed with the best two or three in the Meet. 163 From the Japanese Play Princess Chrysanthemum.

Leonore Randall, '16 Mistress Hardman, Roger's mother, threatens to accuse Anne Ellinwell of witchcraft unless Goodwife Ellinwell keeps Anne from Roger until he and Phyllis are safely married. The grounds for witchcraft are the charms, old papers from 65 mother's box which Anne gave Piety and Truth to get sweethearts. Roger just returned from England, is more than ever in love with Anne, who is forced to sell his ring to pay the rent. Anne is accused of having bewitched Roger, who is sulking over the ring because Anne will not say what has become of it. To add to the Ellinwell's troubles, Nathan suddenly comes home with a Quaker maid he has saved from a mob in Boston. Mistress Hardman come for the rent, hears a thee, a thou and is suspicious. Phillis hides Ruth in Mistress Hardman's home. The Mistress Hardman tells Rev. Mather her suspicions of Anne's witchcraft. There is to be a trial to decide Anne's guilt. Roger decides to help matters, to show them he is not bewitched, by marrying Phyllis. Phyllis readily agrees to this. Peace Atkins, who had gone to Boston with Ezekiel Brown, who turns from Piety and Truth when this new charm- er appears, returns with a pardon for Ruth who has been dis- covered, and also advice from the governor that no future charges be brought against Anne Ellinwell. Captain Hardman discovers that the two bits of paper, the charms, make perfect the claims of E1linwell's to certain English estates. Roger and Anne are happily united again. THE TWIG OF THORN On May 12, the Junior Class presented The Twig of Thorn. The play was quite different from anything ever produced here, and met with applause on every hand. The success was largely due to the successful ability of Miss Albee who coached the play. A The scene was laid in the cottage of Nessa Leig, an Irish peasant woman, during the time of the Great Famine in Ireland. The costumes, the superstitious, and the quaint cus- toms of the peasant people all helped to make the play a great success. 66 The cast was as follows: Nessa Leig, the woman of the house ...... Ruth Cabeen, '17 Maurya, her neighbor .................. Ruth Richcreek, '17 Oonah, Nessa's granddaughter ........... Violet McEwen, '17 Aileel, a wandering poet ...............

February 26th was the date set for the Carnival. A parade had been planned for the evening, but on account of the storm it was impossible to have this. The rain, however, didn't seem to keep the people away, and a crowd soon gathered for a good time. In the office, the tickets for all the shows were sold. In the assembly two plays were given, between which the minstrels furnished a good program. Five Japanese girls took charge of the sewing room, which had been decorated with cherry blossoms, Japanese lanterns and palms, making it resemble a beautiful Japanese tea garden. Here tea and cake were served. In the beautifully decorated French room, four girls were seated. Here they sold candy, popcorn, gum and punch. This was especially well patronized. The Aeroscope, which was one of the side shows, was enjoyed by all. In the kitchen a remarkable little Dutch booth was ar- ranged. Here four Dutch girls served sauerkraut, weinies, sandwiches and coffee. The lower floor was mostly for men. 'Here could be seen basket ball games, prize fighting and Stella. In another room in a dark corner the fortune tellers were found. A boy and girl dressed as clowns passed down the halls selling confetti and serpentine. By the time the Carnival was over, the confetti was flying thick and fast. 69 Uhr Mvarrrz nf the BASKET BALL Harold Beresford Walker Collins Alden Leach Hubert Quinn Curtiss Wetter Helen Cutter Emma Dietz lsa Goings Melba Gupton Violet McEwen lone Wilson TENNIS Paul Burrell Eugene Chalstran Melvin McC1ean 70 HLVUNNI Mabel Edwards Bertha Libby .... .
