1929 C83 L fo LX mtl QALIA40 li Cllpintinniui -- EIhP Minurt The Minuet W'hen dames wore hoops and powdered hair, And very strict was etiquette, Wfhen men were brave and ladies fair, They danced the minuet. Slippers, high-heeled with pointed toe, Trod stately measures to and fro. Quite demure, sedate, and bowing low They danced the minuet. Over his lady's outstretched hand Each gallant bows so gracefullyg Gracious of mien, with manner grand, She sweeps a courtesy. Our whirling steps of modern days Those lords and ladies would amaze, Yet the minuet we still must praise For grace and dignity. The music was of softest strain And harmony enhanced it all. No rasping jazz, the modern bane, Stained the graceful ball. Dainty steps, incline of brow, Sweeps and courtsies to the floor so low, Combined with flashing cutlasses and courtly bow, Betokened the stately ball. Days of the minuet are long gone by, Memories alone remin, And naught will be left if these should die: Minuet return again! No longer dames wear powdered hair, Cosmetics make them fairy Those days are gone, we wonder where? O! Minuet return again! xx 1 H C ex 'A X -an U a if' - EEWL. film Ldv . xi?

Glrnphivz l-l Qlhiniilttini 9 1929 Trophy Case lllfllli are few things in Corvallis High School which better show the achievements of our institution or of which the students are more justly proud than the oals trophy case in the front hall. like the sight of a miser's hoarded gold, the shining silver contents of this case against their rich maroon background urge us on that we may enlarge this monument to the glory of C.H.S. Not by only one or two organizations or activities have these loving cups been brought home, but by all student activities. llere may be found represented Athletics, liorensics, Music, Commerce, and Dramatics. ln the athletic group there are three Spalding cups-two of them first awards from Pacific University track meets in which both Oregon and XVashington High Schools competed in 1926-1927-1928, and one from an indoor meet at Pacific University. There also is the Honeyrnan trophy of 1923-won at Pacific University in an Oregon and Wfashington meet, as well as a baseball cup of many years ago. The oldest athletic cup in our possession was claimed in an indoor traclt meet at Portland, 1922. The very first loving cup to crown the effort of Corvallis Iligh in interscholastic activities was obtained in a Declamatory contest by lforrest 15. Lance in 1915. Another trophy was added by forensics in 191S. ln this trophy case may be found ample justification of our pride in the Corvallis lligh School Band. Besides pleasing us with its harmony, this organiyation yearly brings home its silver spoils. Now we find on the lower shelf a cup equal in sive to one from which Polyphemus might have drunlt. On its shining side is told how the Band of Corvallis High was acclaimed for three successive years the best in Oregon. Since 1926 we have held this cup as our own permanently. Grouped around it and perhaps step- ping stones to it, are five smaller trophies which denote the winning of first place in State Band contests of 1924-1925-19.26, third place in 1928 and second place in 1929. One of the objects of the Band is to place in our case as many trophies as it has mem- bers and it is well on the way to that goal. The Glee clubs and soloists added their offering in the form of the grand sweep- stake prize from the State Music Tournament at Pacific Universty in 1928. Three smaller cups were the gift of Dramatics, Thalians, and a society. The Commercial department, by turning out excellent typists has made possible the addition of a first prize cup from a state contest in 1928. l.et him, who doubts the efforts or ability of Corvallis High to place itself among the first in the state, study the contents of our trophy case and revise his opinion. If he be a student let him strive to live up to and add to what others have done for C11 1.S. in the past.
