Shes all for sailing away to the old world to s tudv to her heart's content. Bon voy- age, Matianf Don't for- get to send us a line when you're burning the mid- night oil. DOROTHY ANDERSON Show us another person with ability like Dots As Editor of the Memoirs she was a wonder and as a writer of poems, well-3 words can't express it. Dot now aspires to be editor of the Poetry Magazine. At her present rate she'll be there ere many more years have passed. MARGARET ANSLEY Peg iust couldn't be anything but her sweet, shy, unassuming self. As president of the Migwans. she has been a wonderful success and they are going to miss her much. Well, we can't blame them. Wlho wouldn't miss so charming a miss? BETSY ASHER Betsy has made herself famous by her tennis play- ingg and as suth .1 sport would indicate. she is a peppy little girl, always full of fun anti always ready for a good time. Shes a blonde, and may- be she's one of the rea- sons why gentlemen do not prefer brunettes. LILLIAN BABBITT Lillian is our class jes- terf' Wlhen she laughs, everyone laughs, and thats something few people can boast of. Yes, we certain- ly liked her in the glass play. As Peggy, the lead- ing lady, she was indeed .1 great success. XYALTER BAKER Our class treasurer is go- ing to be a iournalist. Yes, XValt has proved his worth by his exrellent work as editor of the Grantonian and sports editor of Mem- oirs. He is noted for his tlever singing and playing as well as for amusing his fellow tlassmates. VVILLIAM BARENDRICK Bill is official librar- ian about school. Wfhen he was a frosh, he skipped librarv every chance he gotg but now that he is a senior it's impossible to keep him away from his book friends. In fact, he expects to be our librarian some day-and maybe he will be if he keeps up his good work. PHILIP BEGGS Phil just came up from the sunny South, so he's .1 new member of our class. However, we're glad to have him and we hope he'll stay with us when we start to trudge along the well worn road to success. MARY -IANE BERKLEY Any trowd would more than welcome a girl with Mary Janes pep. She ran clog to perfection, play golf like a pro, and strum a uke like a native Hawaiian. Wlho could be sad around Mary -lane? ,IEANIZ BIRRIEL -leane and her Chex are quite familiar tous all. They are so devoted to eath other, we were won- dering what the little tar will do when she goes away to be a nurse. How about it, jeane? f MARTHA BLACKBURN Martha is an excellent scholar. Blue letters and monograms seem to come sailing right into her worthy hands. She is go- ing to continue her studies at Oregon, where we know she'll be as successful as she has been at Grant. ELFRED BLACKMORE Fredclie's hobby is to be on time, and she gen- erally is. Now whether or not it is due to her Dodge, we really can't say. Any- way, it's a good hobby, and it's going to be a great asset when she be- comes a promising young real estate agent. I.A RAINE BLAKESLEE A Trekker, indeed, is Larry, She is one of the most active members of the club. She is also a beautiful dancer. and has already received m u c h training for the physical ed. course she intends to take at college. ELIZABETH BLEW And here's our old friend Dit -the peppiest gym leader for miles around. Yes-that's itg she wants to be the gym instructor o a big school Wltty knows but what it may be Cram? At any rate hope so EDWIN BOLES Ed s hobby is making ey s at the teachers teachers tease ersonified But then vte ll orgive you Ed without people like you the world would surely be a sad and dreary plate f X l4'7'0 N l IIUIQQS HERBERT BOLES Herb is a regular fellow and everybody's pal. He says his hobby is staying away from the girls, but we are almost tempted to believe otherwise. DORIS BROWN Charlie is also new in our class, but she has made a number of friends in spite of that fact. As it is, she likes Grant so well she has almost forgotten old Baker Hi. PHYLLIS CALDERWOOD Here's to the future nov- elist! Her stories in the Grantonian and Memoirs have put her in the school limelight. Phil is popular with her classmates and teachers, and as vice-pres- ident of the Sans Souci and secretary of the Mig- wans, she has proved her worth. MARGARET CHAMBREAU Music and French go very well together, and Margaret is an expert in both. She is also very fond of tennis and, like the rest of us, she enjoys a good movie. DOROTHY CLOUGH Calm, cool, and collect- ed is Dot. She has never been known to hurry since she entered the portals f Grant, but she gets there just the same. Since Dot is interested in tennis, we think that chasing tennis balls will be good pre - aration for her future li e. Her ambition is to travel. f ' e V.

Her delightful personality and her willingness to help make her welcome wher- ever she goes. Kathy is a charter member of the Quirites Club, and her po- etic ability has won her a Migwan membership and the Associate Editorship of our Memoirs. ROBERT COOPER Bob is a good na- tured young chap who hasn't quite decided upon his future career. Wliile he is deciding, he is going to spend his time golfing, so who knows but that he may be a famous golf pro ? MACARIO CORPUZ Mark is truly the most courteous and polite mem- ber of the jan, '28 class. Althou h he has had to content? with many diffi- culties that most of us know nothing of, he has succeeded admirably in his high school course. Our best wishes for your future success, Macario. RAE DAVIS Rae is just the clever athletic type. Her main hobby is tennis and she certainly can play. She is an excellent French student and is going to study the teaching pro ession at Mon- mouth. FRANCIS DOUGLAS Francis has just enough dignity to warrant his be- ing a senior. His wavy blonde hair is the envy of his feminine classmates, while his never failing good humor makes him popular with the fellows. Remember him in the class play? ALBERT EHRENSTROM Here- -take a look at a regular fellow. Al is a radio fan, but is more noted for his taste in se- lecting bow-ties-if it is he who selects them. lf he opens a Ye Tye Shoppe in the future, he can be sure of the patronage of all his feminine classmates. DOUGLAS ELLIOT Doug plans to attend the University of Wasli- ington in order to take the first steps in becoming a business executive. judging from his ability as cashier at the caf, he will surely get on in the world. EDITH EMERY Edith is bound and de termined to be t success at her future college ind we firmly believe she will She is dependable and good worker as he ri s can tell you so vs ix not? ESTHER PNC I N Esther tm almost sax she has seen the world for during her high school ,feirs she has trtveled ll over the United States md Europe She is quite att especmlly dexoted to art ASTRID ERICRSON Ash has been in att ive member of the Tick kers for quite a while ind there s 1 good texson wht She is going to be 1 nt rst and is getting some pre . liminary practice in vu lx 2 mg food luck Ash' i x F T ' -ar N fr A ' L5 'li'n pf Qfggs 19 - ' --- I ' ., t T - Y ' -5 'lj 2 .

His pep often gets him into ridiculous situa- tions, but that same energy always manages to extri- cate him somehow, He is an active member of the Dondelenquas and Buskins --and as jack in the class play he was a wow! AUDRY FINLEY Audrey is always full of pep and ready to have a good time. She intends to study iournalism at the University of Oregon, and already has an excellent start through her work as a Grantonian reporter. JANE FRALEY As a newspaper corre- spondent, we are sure jane will be a great success. She is an excellent studenr, so of course she'll be wel- comed at Reed. BETTY FREEMAN Betty is keen as features editor. She is always viva- cious and sparkling with a snappy greeting for every- one. No one has ever heard of her being angry, and because of her lively humor, her associates can always be sure of a good time. DOROTHY FREEBURGER This pretty young maid wishes to teach art, and without a doubt she'll be a wonderful teacher, since she is so fortunate in being able to spend much of her time in her beloved work. She is also fond of swim- ming and tennis. WALTER FUNK Walt is one of our steady - going, dependable students. I-le's very clever with pen and brush, and hopes someday to devote himself to art. He is quite a hiker as his activity in the Alpine Club will show. VIRGINIA GALLAGHER Ginger, as her name implies, is a peppy girl. She likes active sports, but she also enioys reading. That's why she's such a good example for stirring young freshmen to follow. She is a member of Gloria Ars and hopes some day to be a costume designer. HELEN GLESSNER Behold the future noted commercial artist. Babe is one of those sunny little girls who is sure to make a success in the business world. Wlren we hear from her next, she will prob- ably be taking her degree in art at the University of California. JANE GOODXWIN Wlien folks think of jane they think of her twinkling eyes and roguish smile. She is a dandy little nurse, and her ambition is to be a bacteriologist. She is also a dramatist, having been a member of the Buskins for two YCIIYS. DAVID GRIFFIS Dave is a man with his own ideas and ocpinions. He is a great rea er and a good conversationalist. He is quite a lover of na- ture, too, for he intends to be a gardener and maybe a second Burbank. LAURA HAGOOD Yes, Laura is another of our tennis champs who plays a perfect game. She is going to be a successful secretary some day, but first she is going to Ore- gon. Be sure you don't change your mind, Laurie, and go out for a tennis championship instead. HOXVARD HALL It gives us great pleasure to introduce this perfect gentleman. Howie's de- pendability and trustwor- thiness have gained him a high esteem of his fellow classmates. His present po- sition as theater usher is a stepping stone to his am- bition-theater manager. EVANS HAMILTON Evy intends to enter the profession of law. At present his interest is cen- tered in tumbling, and those of you who were ll-Sresent at the Freshman rolic can a preciate his skill, He is aljso a member of the Glee Club and Don- delenguas. TOM HANDLEY Of all the students who have helped to make our school a success, Tom is one who has done his share and more. He is a member of some of our most esteemed clubs and when it comes to school spirit-well, we just know we're mighty proud to have him in our class. FRED HANSEN Fred is just the kind of a fellow we would choose for our best friend and al. He is reserved and reliable, knows what he is doing, and does it well. ALLADINE HOLLISTER Alladine is known and loved by everyone. We all agree that she made a sweet Japanese lady in the Freshman Fi-olic. at least she received a good share of the applause. Alladine's ambition is to be a ood- natured teacher, andi we sincerely hope that she car- ries out her intentions. BETTY HURD Betty's nickname is Til- lie the Toilet , but she does not toil like Tillie in the comic strip. just ask anyone who went to the Frolic to tell you what a good worker Tillie is, As Lady Crackenthorpe in the class play, she scored u great hit. EVELYN HUTCHINGS Although Dickie likes to play that old Scotch game once in a while, most of her interests are French. Sl1e's a member of the Sans Souci and an ardent French student-so that ought to be sufficient proof of our guess. WILDRIC HYNES As a joke editor, Beans is a whiz. He is one of those few persons who can combine studies and a good time- as his scholarshi letters and his many friend? will indicate. He intends to be president of the Gen- eral Electric after his col- lege career. ALFRED JOHNSON Yes, you bet we like AL Though his ambi- tion was to raduate, now that he is aiout to leave us, he has acquired a sud den liking for school and is going on to O. A, C. llUXX ARD JOHNSON Swede is that peppy blonde youngster-the joy tif all his teathers who thoroughly appreciate his tomplete attentiveness in class. I-loward's ambition is to be president of the l'nited States: and if driv- ing trucks makes great men, he will reath his goal. IQDXVARD JONES Ed is one of those boys who appear to be bashful and shy, but who are really full of mischief and fun. He's a great tlogger, too, aten't you, Ed? FRANCES JORDAN Fran is the best little talker in our class, not only in English but also in French, She plays the pi- ano beautifully and some day expects to be a pipe organist. Yes, we all liked her as Mrs. O'Mara in the tlass play. TOM KEAN Hail to our class presi- dent! If you had a good time on the senior extur- sion, thank Tommy-for, besides being our tlass skipper. he was instrumen- tal in promoting our trip, His ambition is to be an attorney, and, judging from his ability to preside at class meetings, he will be a great success. CHARLES KINGSLEY Chuck wants to be a great man some day, of course we can't say wheth- er he will be or not-but we do know that if he keeps on tumbling, he's go- ing to tumble right on to the stage. RUTH LEWIS Ruth is a bright and optimistic young miss who wouldn't let anything worry her. She's an expert in history and is going to major in it at her future Alma Mater-the Univer- sity of Wasliingttmn. FRANCES LUDWILQ Francess ambition is to be a famous dramatist. She is going to study dramat- its at Oregon, and betause she is so deeply interested in her work, her ambition will surely be realized, FRED MACDONALD Fred wants to be an architect and is naturally interested in art. He thor- oughly believes in the his- torical tact that all of the really great men were tall. Wleive heard he hits a mean golf-ball, too. DORIS MACE Doris is quite an artistic and musical young person. She draws, paints. plays the guitar, and oh, yes. the piano too. How about a little contert some time, Doris! NVe'd love to hear you play. GORDON MAIN Gordon is very much in- terested in radio and elec- tricity and intends to be an eleetrital engineer, Good luck to you, Gordon, in your tourse at O, A. C. t Hl2LlZN LOUISE MARTINDALIE Helen Louise hasn'x quite decided what she wants to be-probablv a business woman though. Right now she is very fond of hiking -naturally, since she too is one of those peppy Trekkers. CORA MONTEITH Cora is another of our tharming classmates who is full of fun and likes a good time. She is very act- ive in outdoor sports--her favorite sport being horse- back riding HUC H MQCALL Hugh is a great athlete when it comes to football and basketball he can t be bert Yes we re tertainly going to miss Hugh and his good playing but then even football boys must lease us DOROTHY MUHME Dorothy is a quiet le pendable girl vtith a host of friends She has quite a liking for Spanish and tonsequently is a member of the Dondelenguas MARJORIII NEEDHAM What would the Grant om n do without Mari She. has been with and this term she has the honor of being Clubs Ed itor Chasing around for tlub notes tertainly keeps her busy HAROLD NELSON Harold is a jolly, good fellow, who gets quite a kick out of life. Though he doesn't have any par- ticular ambition. we know be's quite anxious to get to college-aren't you, Har- old? ANNA MAY NOLAN Anna May says her am- bition is to be a violinist- but we think she is one already. She has all the makings of a genius and it is our sincerest wish that she gets rewarded for her dili ent work both in her stu tes and her musit IVAN OTTO Ivan is a good naturcd and friendly young chap with never 1 worry and plenty of smiles H s dandy good senior lust the kind we 'ill like to know HAZEL PACKER When it tomes to sthol ars ip it y gas all the letters Her ambition is to be a teacher in our own dur Crant and w hope th1t she will have the pleasure of markin good history noteboo s as those shr. herself has hand ed in FRANK PPARC?

His sincer- ity and depth of character have made him a leader among his associates. He holds the honored office of president of the Inter-Hi Y of Portland as well as that of president of our own Grant Hi Y. FRANSETTA PRIDEAUX With blue eyes and blonde hair. Fransetta is truly one of the prettiest girls in our class. She is also an ex- pert in the athletic field, and is very talented in mu- sic, for she plays the harp beautifully. ' HARRY PRIDEAUX Pep is a young, en- ergetic go-getter whose op- timism and humor are the joy of those about him.

She's a member of the Quirites- even though her favorite subject is Math. LUCILLE ROSE Though Lucille is only a wee bit over five feet tall, she is one of the best little workers there is. Not only do we think so, but the T'Zumas do also, and they proved it by electing her as their vice-president. ALBERT ROTH Al has attended just about every school in the country, including an avi- ation school. Yes, he real- ly does fly, and has prom- ised to take us all for a ride some day. Thanks, Al, we'd love to go. BEATRICE RUDOLPH Though Bee appears to be a shy and modest girl, her many friends know that she is full of pep and is a real sport. She is going to be a high school teacher, so maybe she'll come back to Grant again. MARIE RUECK Marie is a sweet young girl who loves to help oth- ers. She is especially fond of teaching children and hopes to travel to far-off lands to establish school missions. Best wishes for your success, Marie. HUGH RUSSELL Rusty is another of our musicians. He plays the sax in a most heart- rending manner-even the Freshies at the Frolic were deeply affected by it. Keep it up, Rusty, and fortune will soon be yours. ALICE RUTHERFORD Alice is one of our pretty, long haired maidens-an why not? With such beau- tiful curls it would be a crime to cut them. She is quite a dancer, too an may someday study that graceful art abroad. BEATRICE SARTAIN Yes, Bee is a true rt lover. She has taken just about every kind of art there is and is a member of the Gloria Ars. How- ever, despite her artistic ability she intends to study music at the University of Oregon.

Before leaving the protecting arms of our kindly ship, we wish to present to you a manuscript relating our innumerable characteristics which you may not have heretofore noticed. When we look back over our eventful lives, we find that the greatest number of our pirate band made their start right in our own dear state of Oregon, fifty-five of them to be exact, and following close behind are Washington, Idaho, Nebraska, Cali- fornia, Ohio, North Dakota, Indiana, Illinois, Montana, Colorado, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan. Others of us have proudly claimed the Panama Canal Zone, Canada, and the Philippine Islands. Regardless of where we began our lives, all, including young and old, large and small, or wide and narrow, are met here to describe our worthy selves, and so we shall begin: ' Firstly, may we inform you, that though we do not appear as such, we are truly a heavy lot, weighing about 13,652 pounds. Our feminine group naturally outweighing the masculine group by some thousand pounds. But wait, dear friends, do not think by that statement that our manly pirates are our weaker sex. No, indeed not, they are as brave and as strong as the strongest of giants, but are simply fewer in numbers. As for our height, though we are not unusually tall fsomewhere near 580 feetj we feel that since it is so commonly known that good things come in small packages, we are always going to be content with our insignificant Statllfff. In the matter of finances, we are very thrifty. We have saved the great sum of 355822 out of the 323,614 earned by doing various and sundry jobs. We have put it away in a heavy iron chest which we have secretly hidden in a bank that pays four per cent interest on savings accounts. We are also an athletic crew. Many of our ship-mates have, at some time or another, performed marvelous feats in football, basketball, track, and tennis, and as far as hiking is concerned, never have there been such tireless roamers. Up the halls and down the halls with never a word of complaint. And our talents-yes, they are many. Wfe have musicians galore, including pian ists, organists, violinists, banjoists, and saxophonists. Our dancers and dramatists ratc with professionals, and are only too glad to display their skill In the literary field, we have several budding geniuses from whose pens have come poems, stories, and essays which have won great distinction We have been equally as prominent in the activities of our ship, and are very well represented in clubs, a number of us being charter members of some of the most out standing organizations. In regard to our future life, since we are not prophets, we cannot say whether suc cess is ahead of us or not, however we intend to give our best. Nine of our Polly Pirates wish to be teachers, five wish to be nurses, five business women and still another five wish to become famous musicians. Other lines of work which seem to call the services of our maidens are costume designing, writing, welfare work, and journalism On the other hand, our Jack Tars are mostly interested in engineering, medicine law, business, forestry, architecture, interior decorating, and sixteen of them have even gone so far as to aspire to be President of the United States. A few have decided to become professional do-nothings, lounge-lizards, asphalt Arabs, and even Ford nurses But, at any rate: After all is said and done, Before our course in life is run We know that we will do our part . 5 And leave our fame in every mart BVTTY FRHQMAN Statistician in Chief ,,,.- X I Ill 1155- .-It - 'Q Q , , 1 g . , , 7 ' I 1 . - . f 1 ' . . i .

Oh, but really- -I' I argued, It must be American Brickfjust look at the color- I was rudely interrupted. Someone suddenly shoved me off of the face of the moon and sent me whirling downwards. The sensation was very pleasant but my mind was still unsettled as to the composition of the moon. Was it green cheese or American Brick? And there was no one to argue with. I had about decided to argue with myself when Albert Roth swooped down and picked me up in his aeroplane. Hooray! Here was someone to whom I could present my argument. When he had heard my plight he shook his head sadly. We might go back and see-- he offered, But I'm afraid we won't have time. You see, I'm on a 'round-the-world flight and I have a date in Paris this very afternoon. Oh, do take me with you, Al! I cried. He looked at me doubtfully for a moment, then nodded. Perhaps, gentle reader, you wonder at the possibility of conversing in an aero- plane. Our great inventor, David Griffis, had invented a new noiseless motor used exclu- sively by the Evans Hamilton and Ed Jones Aeroplane Company, which is now estab- lished in St. Louis. See?', Al pointed. Theres Notre Dame. Ray!', I cried feebly, wondering if there were any chance of seeing a good foot- ball game there. But my driver disappointed me. It's a cathedral, he explained. We flew lower, and finally decided to light on the top of a fashionable department store. The roof was large and we scraped only a little paint off when landing. The proprietor rushed upstairs and kissed Al warmly. Frenchmen have a habit of kissing aviators When he turned to me I stared aghast. It was Ed Snipes! Albert laughed at my amazement Didn t know your old schoolmate, did you? he said. Didn't you know that he was kicked out of the United States for starting a 'Loyal Lodge for Liars'? and that he got into France on somebody s passport-made 'em think he was the Governor of Siam, didnt you Ed? Oh Eds all French now. Has a French store, a French tongue, a French wife and is going to run for President of France next month. So is Claribel Tathwell Member Clare? Shes a lawyer down in South America right now, han- dling divorce cases But shell be back in time for the electionf' All the time Al was talking I was glancing over the side of the building watching the sights of Paris with open eyes and ears. A sudden commotion in the street below aroused our attention and excited we ran down to watch the crowd that was collected around two cars that had crashed together. A huge car was lying spinning on its side. Nearby lay a snorting young racing car with a crushed fender and broken headlights. A young woman in goggles and leathern coat climbed out and addressed the policeman in very bad French. It was entirely the others fault,'i she said loudly. But you may send me the cost of the damages Im quite used to that. The crowd made way for the sudden appearance of Doctor Howard johnson, who had rushed to the scene in company with his friend the insurance man, Sir William Barendrick who had inherited a title in England but spent most of his time selling The lady in the leathern coat climbed back into the car and shoved up her goggles, I gasped It was Elinor Cohn' Yes didnt you know? said Al.

They'd do anything for her, I rushed over and shook hands with my former classmate and she invited me to go for a ride. I hesitated but decided that I might as well die now as ever, so I hopped in, after shouting to Al to meet me the next day at Monsieur Snipes. Elinor shoved the gears and we sailed off down the street. Want to see the town ? she said. I nodded my head eagerly. All I could see right now was an indistinct blur rolling past at a dizzy speed. We decided to go to the Comedie-Francaise for an afternoon of entertainment. Elinor parked the car directly in front of a fire hydrant. She explained that the Chief of Police was an old school-friend of hers, Walter Evans, and that he always reserved fire hydrants just for Elinor. The manager, Howard Hall, in a very tall silk hat, came to meet us and bowed us to our boxes as though we were kings. He whispered that the organist was none other than Eunice Steele. We settled ourselves comfortably and waited for the curtain to rise. See over there in the box to our left? said Elinor, pointing, That's the new poet laureate of England--Miss Dorothy Anderson. And just beyond is Marian Allen, who climbed the Matterhorn last year. She's been all over Europe. Oh, yes-and there's that clever reporter, Neil Whisnant, and-yes-I do believe, Freida Schulein. She's an archaeologist, did you know? She's hunting for the handsome son of Tutank- hamen right 'now and- The play was light but quite interesting. The leading lady was Lillian Babbit, the leading man, Harry Prideauxg Virginia Gallagher was the costume designer. After the first act the orchestra played a number and I was astonished at finding a woman leading the orchestra, an old friend of mine at that. It was Anna-May Nolan. More surprises! There was a slight commotion at the door and Colonel Lindbergh with his wife Frances jordan entered, smiling graciously at an eager crowd. Next they would tell me that Beatrice Sartain had married the King of England or had inherited a diamond mine. But Elinor later told me that Bea, Frances Ludwig and La Raine Blakeslee were conducting a dancing school in Berlin. After the play, which I didn't like because it had a sad ending, we went to a famous Parisian restaurant to eat. We were met at the door by the maitre d'hotel and his assistant. They were none other than the Boles brothers, Herb and Ed, who had applied for a position here because of their love of restaurants-or the waitresses- which? They informed us that Philip Beggs was the owner and that we could have a share if we wished. Elinor replied that we wanted to buy a small share of their food right then, so they led us to a table. Notice that man right behind you P whispered Elinor suddenly. Hes been fol lowing you ever since we left the theater. So thrilling, I murmured, entranced with the way Ed balanced whole dishes of soup, one on top of the other. A bevy of dancing girls appeared from somewhere and nearly upset him. Everyone seemed quite excited at their appearance and I asked the reason. It seemed that they were noted all over the world and just now were on a tour of France. Among them were Doris Brown and Audrey Finley. A beautiful young lady in furs came in just then and took a table not far from ours Our foreign correspondent to Francegjane Fraley, whispered Elinor. Another r I -I Q.': I I ' - 3 5 5 ' surprise! 'FQ was A 1' 1 ra., ' .- g ' S - if K .1 I When we had finally eaten our fill we left the restaurant and Elinor drove me to a hotel where I put up for the night. The next day at an early hour I met Albert Roth in front of Monsieur Snipes' and we started on the second lap of our journey. , Nice city-Paris, I said briefly. It was too chilly to say much, and yet I felt I must talk to keep my teeth from chattering. Ocean, said Al, pointing downward. Leaning over the edge, I saw the blue expanse far beneath, and noted a small mono- plane following us in the distance. I see a ship, I shouted, and nearly fell out in my eagerness. Want to go down? questioned my pilot. I nodded and we circled for a moment and then dropped down neatly onto the very top of the big ocean liner. I was so thrilled at this adventure that I nearly forgot to shake hands with Bob Sinnott, the captain, who had rushed from his cabin to meet us. We climbed out and as Captain Bob led us below he informed us that john Haney owned this particular ship besides several others. On the first deck we were introduced to the First Mate, and the Purser, Al Iihrenstrom. We walked about the ship, and as we walked Captain Sinnot told us the sad plight he had been in the month before. We could not get enough women passengersfalways more men, he was saying. And why did you want women passengers? I questioned. Better tips-and--we' charge 'em more, he answered. But I solved the prob- lem at last. Two weeks ago Igah-there he is now. He pointed to the side of the deck where a gob in a sailor middie sat peeling pota- toes-and on the first deck. I was surprised. The sailor looked up as we approached and I gasped. It was john Skinner! The captain hit him on the back. Here,', said the captain, is the solution of the problem. I pay him a thousand a week just to sit here and peel spuds-and I have an increase of three hundred women passengers a week as a result. johnny blushed in modest confusion and we left him to the pile of potatoes and to two rather clever looking girls who had just strolled up to converse with that hand- some gob-and they say he has a girl in every port. We strolled on and talked to some very celebrated passengers of Captain Bob's. Among them were the Misses Alice Rutherford, Hazel Packer, and Marjorie Needham, who were going abroad to find out just how much of 'lCaesar,s Wars was true. Miss Helen Louise Martindale who had recently inherited a million from a long-forgotten uncle was also on board with her private secretary, Cora Monteith. Al suddenly decided that we had better go, so after thanking the captain for his hospitality we slid off the ship in the plane and circled into the air above. I noticed 'train that same plane following us but did not pay much attention as Al had told me that we would sight the Statue of Iiberry in ten minutes. We landed in New York that noon and found that we had made another record flight so were shown to the Mayor who gave us a key to the city. The Mayor was Tom Kean and his commissioners were Public Safety, Wildric Hynes, Public Utilities, Cher Pierce Finance Alf ohnson and Wfater Works, Ivan Otto. The Mayor was very kind to us and invited us to go to the movies with him that afternoon We accepted readily and went to see Dave Watson in Short-Pants Willie, which was a very touching picture and brought tears to our eyes. We were livened up later by the introduction of the world s greatest banjo player, Bob Smith, who was second X u X. 5 lo P in -' ,,-1+4L.LL-13- S 4 4 Qt' K N 'li' - :J ' 7 , . , . . . tgp.

He was supposed to be the peppiest banjo wizard in three coun- tries, besides being a torrid orchestra leader. The theater was very beautiful and I later found out that Howard Scott and Marian Stein were responsible for the interior dec- orating. After the show we went up to the office of the New York Times to see about having our pictures, which we had had taken by Walter Funk, in the paper. We were met by a very charming secretary who proved to be none other than Dorothy Muhme, an old classmate of mine. The editor, Walt Baker, received us himself and introduced us to Fred Wheeler, the staff cartoonist, and Marguerite Willemin, who had recently won a grand prize in Berlin for a wonderful painting that she had made. We expressed our surprise atfinding so many members of the old class in New York and she asked us if we knew that Robert Shunk was Secretary of the Navy and that Bessie Schrieber was private secretary to the President. We went to the theater again that night, and going down Broadway we noticed quite a few signs. One was of Messrs. Pearce, Cavan, Wells, and Main, Engineers. Frank Pearce was a mining engineer, William Cavan was a civil engineer, and Bruce Wells and Gordon Main were electrical engineers. One of their busy staff of stenog- raphers was Mary Stariha. Another sign that attracted our attention was that of McCall and Kingsley, attorneys-at-law. The theater was a new one designed by Fred MacDonald. The play was the first production of the theater, a musical comedy, and was making quite a hit in New York. It was written by Phyllis Calderwood. The scenery was designed by Doris Mace, and the music composed by Ellena Ryan. After the play was over we went back-stage to see jo Reed, the leading lady. She was a popular starg and it kept Betty Hurd, jo's private secretary, busy answering cor- respondence. They each gave us an autographed photo. Down in the corner I noticed the name Glessner. I asked jo who it was and she told me it was Helen Glessner, who was a prominent commercial artist. Next morning we went down town to do some shopping. First we went to a book- store. In the poet's corner were several picturesg among them were those of Clarice Stewart and Margaret Ansley, two poets rapidly climbing the stairs to success. The clerk, Gladys Potts, asked if we would care to see the latest best-seller, and showed us a book called Torpid Love by Janet Young. We both bought copies. As we were leaving the store a young man carrying a brief case entered and asked to see the proprietor. I recognized him as another of my classmates, Francis Douglas. Well, well, he cried, I haven't seen you for many a year. Why not have a game of golf today and get acquainted again. Miss Blackmore, one of our leading real estate agents, has just opened a new golf course Miss Blackmore isn't by any chance the one who graduated in our class? I had grown so accustomed to meeting my old classmates that I expected every person men rioned to be one of them. I was not disappointed Why, yes, I believe she isg and by the way, Betty Freeman is a golf pro too. I have the very idea. Do you remember Evelyn Hutchings? She has quite a reputation as a golfer here. I think I will get her and drive out for a game The drive to the links took us past many of the most beautiful homes of the city One of these mansions was pointed out as the New York residence of the millionaitc Martha Blackburn. I spent a delightful day on the golf course. During tea-time at the club I was surprised to see Dir Blew. She told me that she was the gym instructor in one of the fashionable schools. She invited me to visit the school the next day and I readily accepted as Miss Hollister's was known as one of the most exclusive schools in the United States.

I was very much puzzled until I found out that she was Laura Hagood, private secretary to Martha Blackburn. She said she hoped that I would call the next day to see her. A At the symphony concert we attended that evening, Margaret Chanbreau, the noted violinist, was the soloist. As her feature number she played a symphony composed by Katherine Conkle. The next day Dit Blew came to the hotel and we drove out to the school. She introduced me to some of the teachers and I was astonished at the number I knew. Dorothy Freeburger was the art teacher, and a very popular one too. Dorothy Cannon was another one of the teachers. As I was walking down the hall I heard someone practicing scales. Dit informed me that Lucille Rose was her music teacher. I was just about to leave when a very smartly dressed young woman came up to me. It was jane Goodwin. She was a member of the American Medical Association, in fact its secre- tary, and she had come to see the school nurse. I stopped to see Martha Blackburn, on the way back, found her ill and talked to the nurse, jeane Birrel. After leaving Marthals, I met Al and we prepared to hop into our aeroplane and head for Boston. While we were speeding to the field I noticed a car following us but did not have time to think about it as at that moment our car crashed into one speeding in the opposite direction. Al was unhurt, so he got out and tried to extricate me. After some time, I was pulled out and hastened with Al to the other car. When the driver became conscious, I saw that it was Edith Emery. We immediately began to talk. This bothered the doctor, who had just arrived. He said that under the circum- stances she should not be able to talk. The nurses, Ruth Lewis and Astrid Erickson, came to the rescue and informed the doctor that it was the shock of seeing us that had made her regain speech. Such a shock! ' We dusted off the fenders and left once more for the aviation field. There we found Mary jane Berkley, who tried to persuade Al to let her join us so that she might make her boat to Africa on time. But Al was in a hurry. As we took off, I noticed that aeroplane following us. ' There was quite a commotion on the field as We landed in Boston. It seemed that one of the movie stars, Barbara Quinn, was going to drop from an aeroplane in a para- chute as a stunt to advertise her new picture. I later found out that Douglas Elliott was her advertising manager We stayed at the field to watch her. It was rumored that she had fallen into the sea and as we were old friends, we hastened to get Ben Walling and his speed boat to come to her rescue It seems that an aeroplane had sighted some- one on the ocean that they thought was she When we finally reached the struggling form we were much surprised to be confronted with the angry countenance of Fransetta Prideaux She was indeed angry for she was swimming the Atlantic Ocean, and most certainly did not want to be hauled from the water. We later learned that a forester Marcario Corpuz, who had been tramping through the forest had found the actress suspended from a tree. The excitement over we went on to a restaurant for dinner. It was a fashionable place owned by Herbert Perry who had bought it at a bargain. When our omnipresent hunger was appeased, we hastened to the Court of justice to witness the great trial of the famous oil magnate, Bob Cooper, who was indicted for stealing a bottle of milk His defending lawyer, Harold Nelson, pleaded on the grounds that the prisoner had been hungry and pleaded so well that the kind-hearted judge, 34' 1 I Q15 , 2 g OPT 'm il 04 'H ' 9 x X I X xx X N 3 -.'., I Q 'Q 4 ' tw . 51 A alfa- ig Q I . u l' --5,2 ,'o x' ' --.aes-:1-. Q as of I Melville Keep, acquitted Mr. Cooper on the condition that he leave other peoples milk alone. After the trial we hastened out into the summer sunshine and Al bought a paper. The headlines caught our eye: BETSY ASHER PLAYS RAE DAVIS FOR NATION- AL CHAMPIONSHIP IN TENNIS. How exciting! I read on over Al's shoulder and learned that the match would be played the next day in Los Angeles. If we hurried, Al calculated slowly, we might reach Los Angeles in time for the match. We decided to hurry. Al hailed a taxi and we hopped in. Hey there! Stop!'l A man in a brown overcoat was running down the street after us. I-Ie looked vaguely familiar and I wanted to stop, but Al was all for speed. Can't stop, he said, and we didn't. What a disappointment! When we arrived at the coast city, we were met with the news that the match was postponed because Betsey was laid up with a broken leg, in Portland. Rae herself informed us of this, and, after expressing to her the hope that she would win the match, we ran up to Portland, and told Betsey the same thing. Her manager, Dorothy Clough, told us the sad story of how Betsey, at a thrilling movie, had in her excitement climbed on to the balcony and fallen over the edge, breaking her leg in three places. Three for luck, smiled Betsey, rather wanly. We felt rather despondent after all this and decided that we needed cheering up. How about the good old Broadway ? I suggested, hopefully. We went and were very glad we did, for we certainly had a rare time. Hugh Rus- sell, our old schoolmate, was Master of Ceremonies, and he very generously led us on to the stage and introduced us to the audience. See that lady up there? pointed Hugh. That's Miss Esther Engen, the leading lady of the Henry Duffy Players. Someone stood up and waved and Al and I grinned at the whole audience in gen- eral. For my part, I was quite blinded by the footlights. And over there, went on Hugh, is the Governor of Oregon with his wife, nee Beatrice Rudolph. But the orchestra started up and we were unceremoniously hauled back into the wings to view the performance from seats made out of soap-boxes. A small stage-hand, however, kept us company and told us many interesting things. That beautiful dancer is Marie Roueck, he explained, Fanchon and Marco's great- est find. And the violinist just coming on is Ruth Van Schoonhoven. Who designs the costumes? Oh-that is all done by Neola Otto-she does all the costuming for Fanchon and Marco and-I' But he was suddenly and rudely interrupted. A burly policeman had appeared very unexpectedly, and pushing our friendly conversationalist aside, he grabbed Al's and my wrists. You are under arrest! he said to us Al and I began to laugh, thinking that he had probably mistaken us for someone elseg but great was our indignation when we found ourselves hastened to a waiting car and driven speedily to the police station. I mentioned to Al that it seemed rather like old times, having visited this place many times in my youth for violation of Portland's curfew law, but Al only grunted A solemn-faced judge in the person of Fred Hansen ordered us to sit down, and we sat.

I gazed at Al in bewilderment. Say, I questioned suddenly, who am I? You are the jewish Prince Hockett of Transylvania in Roumaniaf' answered Fred solemnly. And you are alleged to have stolen your mothers gems, and with the help of that gentleman there, have escaped to this country. But a world-famous detective has followed you and will be here in a moment to identify you. Well-this was news! And when will this so-smart detective arrive? I inquired. The judge opened his mouth but closed it as the door flew open, and a man in a brown overcoat dashed in and breathlessly confronted the judge. I gasped. It was ' Tom Handley! Wrong party! he gasped. The prince-the prince- He drew another breath. The prince went back--to-to his mama andvfand-and she-still loves him! He collapsed on a bench and Al and I nearly split our sides laughing. , And he had followed us clear from Paris! P Such a life! I suddenly remembered an important question that at least detectives ought to know. Tom, I asked, is the moon green cheese or American brick? Tom was still gasping for breath. S'neither, he said. S'Limburger-clear through. I suddenly decided to stay at home and take up astronomy. PHYLLIS CALDERWOOD. V JOSEPHINE REED. ROBERT W. K. SMITH. 6 ,MT N W'5,-3A'.gA4s2- V N, Xb PJ f If i ppc !

At the first of the term the members reported for weeks at eight o'clock in the morning to make the sale of student body tickets a success. The eligibility for school offices was taken up in the Council and it was decided there that officers who represent Grant High School should have a G average, officers within the school should be passing in three subjects with two Cfsg and members of organizations should be passing in three subjects. The Council has voted money for the purchase of paper towels for the wash-rooms. Much interest has been aroused around the school concerning the abandonment of letters for scholarship awards and using in their place pins or certificates. Everyone has his opinion. Editorials have been printed in the Grantonian for and against the ques- tion, showing the views of the students. This problem will be decided in a meeting with the General Council at an early date. The members of the Executive Council sincerely hope that the new officers will have as interesting and enjoyable a term as they have experienced. ELIZABETH CRAM. Cafeteria Board The Cafeteria Council, that organization of five students and two advisors which manages our Cafeteria, is pleased to announce that it will soon be domiciled in its new home in the basement of Grant's splendid auditorium. This year Miss Barbour an O A C graduate and the daughter of Commissioner Barbour has been added to the faculty as cafeteria supervisor. Miss Barbour has been able to do much toward making the Cafeteria more efficient, and this year the students have been offered a better planned and more varied menu at reasonable prices. The Cafeteria Council realizes the great disadvantage both the students and the Cafeteria personnel have labored under in the past, and we wish to express our appre- ciation for the loyal support and co operation the students have shown. We hope that this same spirit will continue in the future for with it we feel that Grants cafeteria will continue to thrive and will be able to deal more competently with the ever increasing number of students The members of the Council during the fall term were: Kathleen Murray Tom Campbell ohn Smurr jack Lowe KATHLEEN MURRAY. f X 9 Mx X.. 4 J' if J . l Q N X x X X ' , -f, ,mu A x I . u u 5,9 ,Og . l 2 42 . --.O .. ROOM REPRESENTATIVES CASHIERS Seventh Term Class It has been almost four years since Grant welcomed to her midst, on her first day of existence, a meager group of enthusiastic freshmen. Today those freshmen of old stand ready to enter the ranks of seniors, as one of the largest graduating classes in the history of Portland-the june class of '28. It was from its number Grant elected her entire fall corps of Student Body Officers: President, Amos Lawrence, Vice-President, Bernice Woodard, Secretary, Elizabeth Cram, Treasurer, Glen Barlow, Editor, john Poormang and Fire Chief, Dana McCroskey. Through this group many Grantonians have risen to prominence-Grace Baird was awarded the Mary A. Henderson Cup for scholarship, Marion Averrill brought Grant the laurels in the city fire prevention contest, and John Finley led the Grant High Band to first place in the Sousa Concert. The class boasts many outstanding athletes and prides itself in its participation in many school dramatic and musical activities. The members of the june class of ,28 are proud to have been with Grant through its struggling pioneer days and her seasons of overwhelming victories--proud to have helped shoulder the plow which has mowed under the difficulties of four years and has left behind a field smooth sown with Grant traditions. The newly elected class officers are: President, Eugene Tarbellg Vice-President, Adele Wedemeyerg Secretary, Estora Ricks. EsToRA RICKS. Freshman Class The Grant High class of '32 promises to be the best set ever turned out. We caught the key to success the first day of school-the Grant Hi Spirit ! We have organized a Girls League of which Anne Morrow is president. The Boys' League which was organized a short time after the girls', has elected Herbert Armen- trout president Although most of us are Irish and showed it too at the beginning of schoolj, our forecast slips show that we will make an excellent set of second termers. We all enjoyed our initiation or rather the Freshie Frolicu, although we certainly felt small walking down the hall beside our big Senior Brothers or Sisters as the case might be We thought we were big when we got to High School, but those Seniors, towering a foot or two above us soon showed us where our correct place was. The party we gave was a great success It brought out a great deal of talent, that any- one looking at us would not think us capable of possessing, Most of our rooms are 100 per cent in Banking, and Student Body. We all con- tributed gladly to the Community Chest Thanksgiving Basket, and the like. We are setting an excellent example for the next set of Freshmen, as the Seniors have set for us We are all sure for at least we hope that we will make as fine a set of seniors as those graduating this year LYDIA LANDERS, Editor s note Frosh me thank you' Z 9 ,7.w 0595. -.

Although this is the first term that the system of using Grantonian Room Report- ers has been used, it has showed itself to be a success. To stimulate interest in the Grantonian, and to get more of the right kind of mate- rial, a series of contests between the rooms have been successfully completed. These contests seem to have been the finishing touch for a successful school newspaper. Stu- dents have brought in more material this year, as a result of the contests, than was collected all last year. The first contest, which was a news contest, netted more material than was expected. Since the room winning the contest would get a five-pound box of candy, this contest was the most interesting. Martha Lee Frank wrote the winning article. Martha is from IOOIH 1 l l. Next, a contest for all would-be poets was started. This contest created much inter- est, and many poems were turned in. Franklin 4Wagoner from room 228 wrote this article, thus winning for his room the five-pound box of candy. The third contest was a feature article contest. The person who turned in the best feature article received the five-pound box of candy. This interesting contest was won by Helen Binford of room 114. Then, finally, this last contest, one for short story competition, starts Dec. 22 and lasts till Jan. 3, the day school opens again. This final contest will certainly prove inter- esting because short stories seem to be some sort of a sixth sense to Grant Hi students. BOB SELLARS.

The Thalians are a recently organized dramatic club for girls above the fifth term. Reviews of plays have been given at the past meetings, and the study of one-act plays has been begun. Dondelenguas, the Spanish club of Grant, has had several clever debates given in Spanish this term. Also, each member responds to roll call with a one minute talk upon some subject relating to Spain or Spanish. At both Christmas and Thanksgiving the members provided a basket for a poor family. Gloria Ars, the Art club, has effected an entire reorganization this term. The pins have been selected and ordered, and some new members have been admitted. The club has also sponsored talks given for the art students. The Buskin dramatic club held an open meeting early in the term to attract new members. A skit, clog-dance, monologue, and banjo solos made up the program. The fifteen new members gave their entrance speeches at an informal meeting and dance at the home of one of the members. At each regular meeting, the program committee has presented a program Philadorians the boys' debating club has had three very successful debates presented by members of the club this term A highly original club activitv of this club is the recent organization of a saxophone sextette which will play at school assemblies in the future The club gave a party in December at ohn Finleys home The Quirites Club has been very active this term The most important work done by the Latin club was the sponsoring of the Victory Hop Grant s first student body dance Besides the planning for the dance at each regular meeting the program com- mittee has presented a program in or pertaining to Latin Sans Souci the French club has had a program in French or about France at each of the regular meetings At one meeting a speaker talked on France the club hopes to have further talks of a similar nature The Alpine or boys hiking club has taken three long hikes one to Squaw Moun- tain another up Mount Defiance and one in the reg1on of Beacon Rock near Steven- son Three different vseek ends were spent working on the winter sport playground at Mount Hood On December 10 the club sponsored the Grant H1 Day at Mount Hood, and later it sponsored a lecture and movie given at Grant by Amos Burg The Polemic club which studies international relations has had several speakers this term who have given talks on international questions of importance At each meet- ing the members have a discussion of some current topic of international affairs Recently the club has begun the collection of autographed photographs of men prominent in the world s affairs The Girls Gym Leaders Club has a business meeting every other meeting and practice on the apparatus at the other meetings Several entertaining parties have 'een held at different times during the term and six of the girls attended Mr Krohn s special Migwans the writers club has had programs at each meeting A study of modern authors and poets and original stories poems and essays have comprised the programs.

Trekkers, the girls' hiking club, consider the purchase of a concrete Senior Bench for the park, to be their greatest achievement of the term. Several hikes and parties have provided interest and entertainmnt. T'Zumas, literary club, has lately made a study of the prominent statues of Portland. The girls have gained a thorough knowledge of them and the circumstances of the presentations. The Hi Y club of Grant presented eight books to the Grant Library this term, and was instrumental in installing the paper towels in the lavatories. As is customary, the club gave their annual Fall Hi Y dance, which was even more of a success than usual. The Girls' Tennis club again presented their football skit at the pep assembly bea fore the Washington game. This skit was presented last term before the championship game, and was deservedly popular. Early in the term, the club had a party for the new members. The Tri Y is a girls, club which has been especially active this year. They have presented several programs. At Thanksgiving and Christmas they were doners of baskets of food to needy families. The Grant High School Band has been atracting a great deal of attention through- out the State of Oregon. It brought honor to the school by winning the cup awarded by john Philip Sousa to the best high school band in the city. Under the tutelage of Mr. Handzlik and the direction of john Finley this organization has developed almost professional skill, and the boys have become so interested in the work that the mem- bership is now almost fifty. The Drum Corps has been largely responsible for the pep Grant has shown at the football games this year. Those fourteen peppy lads in their blue and white uniforms have drummed the team straight through to victory, and have thrilled the hearts of every one of us. John Goss has proved himself a very capable leader through his training of this group. MARJORIE M.

P ' '.'...?::.--- X Ginny Thinks Cut Loud Ginny was thinking out loud. Ginny had a great habit of thinking out loud and sometimes Ginny was punished for this bad habit. There was the time that Great-Aunt Judith, who was very, very rich and who, once in a great while, gave Ginny whole dollars to buy candy with, came on a visit. Ginny had been reading a book and the family were all conversing about the weather and Mr. Duncan's cat and who would run for State senator, when Ginny suddenly came out of her book and, walking over to her Great-Aunt Judith, said solemnly: And when you die, Aunt Judith, will there be enough dollars for us to live on and have candy every day? Whereupon Aunt Judith packed her belongings and departed, and Virginia Lee was sent to the dark closet for a whole hour, where she was at liberty to think out loud at nobody's expense. Virginia Lee remembered that hour in the dark closet, but she continued to think out loud for, as she said to her mother with the wisdom of her eight years, Mama, it's there-and it has to come out-why I have to say it, Mama. And now Ginny was rocking back and forth in the big willow rocking chair and was, as usual, thinking out loud. Katie must have a doll for Christmas. Katie's awful poor and Sandy Claus hasnit brung her one yet.-I think he's mean-Sandy Claus is-- Ginny stretched out her toes and rocked harder. Yes, sir, Sandy Claus is mean. I wanted roller skates and he brung 'em to Ben and Ben isn't half as good as I am. She surveyed the ceiling and tilted back dangerously. Ben tells lies-Ben does. The sudden appearance of Ginny's older sister and her fiance interrupted Ginny's thoughts and she stopped rocking to watch them. Margie hurried across the room to the fire and stood there, her back turned indig- nantly upon the young man who followed at her heels. Aw-I say, Marg, don't get sore-I couldn't help it, really. Her mother prac- tically pushed me into that date and the ride after was only a joke- Margie turned with flaming eyes and Ginny over in her rocking chair chuckled. It was great fun to see Margie mad. Maybe she would lose her temper and maybe- maybe-Ginny held her breath in ecstasy-maybe she would break something! I'm sure I don't mind who you go out with, Raymond Keathf' said Marg in a voice that made Ginny shiver. It's nothing at all to meA4bnt fthere was emphasis on that but J please don't think that you can play two at once and get away with it.

It was diffi- cult to talk to a cold and haughty back if shed only turn around-- She did She confronted him with blazing eyes.

Explain' said Margie again That's all you have done-one excuse after an- other' If you think thats going to get you anywhere-H She paused and raised her eyebrows cynically Raymond drew himself up to his full five-feet-eleven and begang Well, if you're going to make such a mountain out of a mole hill and be so positively narrow-minded I0 9' ' 'W I Q, ff, - -1 alle U , . fi X y X X x - 0 i N - 5 -':?.z fl I1 r I - - -Q - 4 I . 1 I 3.2 .'0 I ' 70 X - -ony i ' E as to think that I asked, voluntarily asked Miss Lois Smith to go to that dance, and that we went for a ride afterwards and had such a 'wild time,' as you put it, if you're going to believe all those stories those fellows told you, when you know that I-that I-, he stumbled and finished up bravely, Well, all I can say is that 1'w ff1I'0llgf7.! He stalked across the room to the door and stood there contemplating the door- knob. Ginny, huddled unnoticed in her chair, looked from one to another in amazement. And Margie was crying! She was trying awfully hard not to, but Ginny was near enough to see one glistening tear trickle slowly down her nose and fall on the hearthstone below. Ginny suddenly jumped from her chair, and, as was characteristic of Ginny, she thought aloud. I think you're a couple of nuts, both of you, she said, and both turned, sur- prised, to watch her. Ginny!,' cried Margie, shocked and a trifle ashamed that she had been overheard. Yes, you're both nuts! asserted that young lady firmly. Here you're going to fight and have a grand bust up and there won't be no wedding and-and- Ginny was getting excited, no wedding and--and- she ended in a shrill treble, I won't get to be flower girl. There was a dead silence after this, until someone over by the door began to laugh. Margie sniffed in silence a moment, then a funny little smile played about her mouth broadened into a grin, then she too laughed and laughing, she and Raymond came to gether in the middle of the room and Raymond took Margie's hand in his They stopped laughing then. Margie was studying the floor and in a very subdued voice she said, I'm sorry-Raymond Darling! breathed the boy, and Ginny, suddenly frightened, fled from the room PHYLLIS CALDFRWOOD An Old Man 'S Desire Roads that lead over the hills Roads that lead down by the rills Roads that lead far away Are calling me Roads that wander aimlessly 'round Thru fields and thru wilds and thru towns Roads that go down to the sea Are calling me Bound here in an old office building Surrounded by books and by strife Shall I ne'er get away for a year and a day Or must I give up with my life?

Oh don t mind us Im sure unior and I will love eating alone on Christmas. I suppose there are eggs or something in the house! Mr Awkright arose There is always plenty of food in the house!

' ' - ' 7 S - - ' l 4 lw DIll I On Feeling Sorry For Oneself It is much more pleasant to pity yourself than somebody else, and you all indulge occasionally in this luxury. lt is a most enjoyable way of spending the evening, when there is nothing else to do, and a most satisfying one, too, for, by the time you have finished, it is always proved that you, beyond any shadow of a doubt, are the most abused person you know of. These attacks are not the result of serious trouble, grief or disaster-fthen you have no time to feel sorry for yourselfg they are brought on by a series of irritations and petty annoyances, or maybe too much dinner, and they are usually capped by something particularly exasperatingfthe proverbial last straw. After you have bewailed the last annoyance for what you consider a suitable length of time, you begin,-now the real enjoyment starts. Not that you think of it as being enjoymentfheavens, no! On the contrary, you are very, very sad. All your grievances, past, present and even future, rush to the front. It usually strikes you about now that you always have had hard luck, anyway-you were born under an unlucky star without any doubt-nobody else has so many troubles, and so forth and so on. Usually, about this time your handkerchief appears fif you are a womanj and you continue with your delightful meditations. Why, just think of last summer-fyou couldn't go to the beach at all-just think of all the work you have to do tomorrow,Ajust look at that runner in your stocking your best pair at that! Oh life does seem too discouraging. Maybe by now a few tears have pushed to the fore again of course if you are a woman I would not think of accusing the stronger sex of anything so effeminate and they greatly add to the pleasure of the occasion You slowly and carefully wipe them away meditating meanwhile upon your sorrows But the spell does not usually last long The conviction being firmly established in your mind once again that you are very abused and that therefore it is about time for something nice to happen to you for a change you direct your energies elsewhere feeling greatly refreshed BARBARA QUINN The Sea At Nzgfzt Darkness enveloped the earth and sea and sky Thin sea spravs dashing over crag and stone Fell round me while the blackness hid from e e All but a Glimpse of crlshing surging foam The unseen vastness and the dim expanse Of air and water stretching all around The sudden roaring onslouvhts of the sea Aroused my soul with yearnings most profound JOHN SKINNER l K Q .

Nope We played cards up to Bill's last night, and Bob Howard and john May- son had a fight and broke Bob's arm. But thereis nothing official, and he winked. Well, if you hadn't been gambling and drinking there yourself, I'll bet you could o'made some arrests. Hin-not me. Besides I'll bet you were on a big party yourself last night. I'll say I wasn't , and now came the story he'd been aching to tell ever since they'd met. In fact jake Jensen, sheriff of Mills Center, had ridden ten miles in his Ford, that the government had given him, especially to boast about his latest case to Ted Huston, sheriff of Fort Smith. Guess you haven't heard that the plans for the new mill have been stolen and that I'm in charge of the case to find the fellow that did itf' You don't say, whistled Ted. jake beamed, and went into great detail. Finally he concluded that he must be moving on. Were goin' to look for him some more tonight. Pretty sure we'll get him. Almost had him last night. D Wait a minute. Who is he anyway, and why don't you hunt him in the day-time, too. He's a city fellow who tried to turn the town around the first night he came, grabbed the papers when the rest of the folks were at the show, and hasn't been back for his gripsf' But he might not be in that part of the country now, objected Ted. Yes he is, because he came back to the hotel for some paper or other and left again before Mrs. Blake could get me. Well, so longf' Ted Huston watched him as the Ford jumped down Main street, past the movie that ran once a week, past the two rival sweetshops, past the garage and hotel, and around the corner where stood the city hall with the library on the main floor, the dance hall upstairs, and the jail in the basement. Well,'i he murmured enviously, for having only ten more people in his town than in ours, it does seem like they get most of the excitement. That night, at the nine o'clock curfew, by order of the sheriff, all the three hun- dred and twelve citizens, children included, of Mills Center put out their lights and pre- sumably went to bed. At ten o'clock a small group slowly and furtively gathered on the board walk in front of the Post Office. Sheriff Jensen, with his Colt .45 buckled around his waist and his star flashing on the lapel of his leather jacket, marshalled his men in an authoritative tone and strode down the road. The ten chosen deputies fell in line and for awhile the importance of their quest imposed silence Presently the two in the rear started a discussion on the history of their pistols I've had mine twenty-five years, said the taller. Killed two men, three Indians and a snarling cat that prowled around our camp, all in the first three years I had it and since then since we've had a sheriff ind everything, this is the first I've had to use it. Nope, things aren't as thrilling as when old Mayson started his placer mine and the government kept arsenals at Fort Smith Well, the shorter remarked, mines seen a bit of life since twenty years ago too. I killed-l' Say, you two, sheriff says to keep quiet, whispered a voice in front, and they tramped on in silence. ' X II 'W ' fgfk .-'E 5 U ffgfie- 'O , 1.9. I I I : Z 77 'f:,1:g?2:ff.-- ki : I f g' Finally, Where we goin? asked one. l'We passed the deserted house. Aren't we goin' to start looking, pretty soon? Were goin' up to the new mill site, and you're s'posed to be looking all the time. Finally they came to a crossroad and tramped up to a clearing. They were all con- gregating around the sheriff when footsteps were heard. They dropped to the ground and listened. Don't anyone fire till I say, warned Jensen. The footsteps approached uncer- tainly, and presently a dark form came to view. Onward he advanced till he was just on the other side of a low fence. They could see that he didnlt wear boots but city-made shoes, an overcoat, and a felt hat. He paused, looked the ground over, and drew out some papers. The men could scarcely breathe for excitement. He passed a flashlight over one paper and murmured, Fifty yards and forty-two. Not room enough- jensen's fingers were shaking so he had difficulty pulling out his manacles. The stranger folded the papers and put them in his pocket. The sheriff blew his whistle, yelled, Hanzup! and the other men flashed on lights and held out their weapons. jake manacled the man, and with the pistol at his back, marched him away. There was no silence on the walk back. Each man tried to outdo the other in telling his experi- ences of a night similar to this. When they reached the corner on which stood the new filling station, operated by the Mills Center Garage, and the deserted blacksmith's stone workshop side by side, they saw the town ablaze with lights. The candy stores were lighted, people were stand- ing around the street. Houses, hotel and dance hall all showed signs of life. What's happened? wondered the disappointed sheriff, who had counted on rous- ing the town with the new fire siren, and after fitting speech introducing his captive, the city safe-cracker, being escorted by the admiring populace to the jail. When the sheriff and his posse were sighted, johnson, a man whom Jensen had left to watch the hotel, came running to meet him. The city fellow came back, he said, and rushed on before anyone interrupted. He goes to college, and plays on the football team. He's here to see about fixing up that football field for a stadium so that the county games can be played here. His brother lives at Fort Smith and is a good player. Of course, he added apologetically, I've been watching him, so if anything is wrong, but I'm pretty sure someone else must have stolen Then face of his Fort Smith Well those papers. who- began Sheriff ensen puzzled. Someone turned a flashlight on the captive and disclosed mischievously beaming at them, Sheriff Huston of he said if you ll take off these manacles, Iill give you those papers you were looking for and tell you how I found them, soon as I light my pipe. Someone recalled Iensen who was still dazed, and Sheriff Huston was freed. Well he began after you left this morning, Bob Howard brought these papers and said they were found in the stage Then a little later this young city fellow turned up with Tom Parker who is his brother and told me about the new stadium and how he d rushed over to his brother s the other night with some figures.

But placed in use by the human voice, it becomes extremely effective and powerful for its size,--like a small stick of dynamite. Action invariably follows in its wake. It is an essential part of everyones vocabulary. Qne should consider, for instance, the part this word must have played in history-the abrupt dismissal of a tyrant, a cold, emotionless summons to the guillotine, and a quiet announcement of an audience with the pope. In more commonplace surroundings it has become the impersonal professional beckon of the office girl to enter into the pres- ence of the busy dentist through the door that has been thoughtfully stared at for an untold expanse of time. It can be a most agreeable word when, for instance, it brings forth long-sought-for opportunities to act, say to tee off at the first hole on Sunday morning, but on the other hand it is only too often a crushing signal of failure, as the teacher with a peremptory wave of the pencil, breaks off feeble and desperate attempts to stand off the entry of the little red mark among the black ones in the gradeabook. It is altogether a very decisive and useful little word if the proper inflection is put upon it to meet the occasion. The barber must use it in a polite invitational announcement of the availability of his services, with just enough emphasis to awaken the customer to the full realization of his opportunity. It must be unceremoniously howled by the vender with the sole idea of making some one within the range of his voice think he is in line to patronize a rushing business. It must be authoritatively barked off by the judge as he takes under consideration the next case. It is the disinterested sing-song of the shop girl dispensing with the bargain-seeking crowd. Next!

Now don't suppose, dear friend, that I mean a weak end, that anterior or superior part of any animal, containing presumably, the brain, or chief ganglia of the nervous system, quite apparently, the mouth, and, often prominently, the chief sensory organs. Indeed I have what I consider a fair specimen of a poll, cephalon or, as it is more commonly called, head. Though the contents, or the deficiency of con tents, of my cranium might merit its being classified as a weak end, I trust that I have not made my buccal cavity too apparent or have blown my horn without adminis tration of a handkerchief, or otherwise made myself disagreeable to my associates through my excess of brawn and lack of brain Now after this slight deviation from my course I shall complete my opening state ment and continue with my theme. I have no week-end rezzzezzzbawzfef from which I derive as much or more pleasure than I do from those of my recent sojourn as your guest. Figuratively speaking, I hope that I was not comparable to a weak end on a football team in that I was in the way and doing wrong. A weak end on a team is of more use to his mates than a person with a weak end is to his companions. Though we ken this is a weak end for such a composition, what more can a weak end such as mine be expected to produce? CHARLES KINGSLEY .-4 z M ,ma A 5.93-ns V v A7 - s 7 5 Q ' - 9 .0 at I 5 .

He has another year left to play and will help Grant stay on top again next season HOLBROOK WATTS Hoby,l' playing his first year of interscholastic football, was chosen on the myth ical all-star team, as quarterback, unanimously by sport writers. His brilliant and heavy generalship was in a large way responsible for the General's standing in the league and as an accurate passer, he is unexcelled. He has another year of football left to play NED GLEASON Ned closes four years of stellar playing for Grant this season. Three years an all star, his ability to receive passes and stop plays have placed him above all other wing men in the league. He is captain of the General's championship team and plays in either the backfield or line with equal excellence. x '49 igfmbfxls h gf Jr 'l l' Jr 'I' 'l , 0 , l f I f I ' A 'N a.r'-umm Fzzff' Q 'T , :'.!' le Q V .i4fx.Q h .Q .Q . . 5 Sl - i ' :f 1 , f , f P .4 ROBERT HANSEN Hansen is the biggest lineman on the squad and on the defensive is excelled by none He has two years left to play and should be one of the mainstays of next year's line when he gets a little more evperience and develops speed and charge GENE GABLER The shifty tactics of this hard hitting half back were the downfall of more than one team He is a dan erous open field runner and used the deadly cut back to won- derful advantage Although lacking in weight and height he played a good defensive game especially effective against a passing attack MORRELL SPRAGUE Sprague is primarily an offensive center and one of the most valuable reserves on the squad. His accurate passing and strong stamina put him into the play when a scor- ing drive was needed, but his lack of weight and height handicapped his defensive work. He has another year left to play for Grant. HECTOR MCLEOD Hec was without a doubt the best defensive center in the league. He had a valu- able habit of smelling a play and then being the first man to stop it. He is especially effective against passes. He has played every position on the line and played it well, and when stationed at center proved himself a success. 0' ,. 2 X l ,xx K-L fy 1 gy .oar klaQAX-.Sw ar W 'IDMY I ' ' 5 l 1 I -fjg .'o 2 .-it-': 3 8 . -nl Q ft me 'T . FRED VOLZ It is a rare occasion that any high school player is placed on the all-star in his first appearance in the league, but such is Volz's case. Although he is short and stocky, he is a power on both offense and defenseg his ability to open holes and break open an oppos- ing line all helped in his selection. TTT HUGH MCCALL McCall ends his high school football career this season. Besides being the best all- around tackle in the league, especially on the defense, clearing the way for Grant's deadly split-buck, his line breaking tactics placed him on the mythical all-star eleven. T T T NEIL WHISNANT Neil is one of the lighter guards, but his shifty style of play worked in to perfection with the rest of the line. His uncanny ability to diagnose the coming play of the oppo sition made him invaluable. Neil's playing is all the more exceptional considering that this is his first year out, and his natural ability was of sufficient rank for him to earn his letter. GENE TARBELL This husky end also closes his four years of high school football career with the reputation of being one of the most dependable men on the squad. He was named on the all-star team of several papers and has been deservedly praised for his heady playing and accurate pass receiving.

Prior to this year he played in the backfield, but on being shifted to the line he hit his stride. His defensive work especially stood out from the play around guard position. GEORGE LITTLE As a kicker George was second to none in the league. His placement of forty and forty five yard punts in the Washington game was directly responsible for Grant s vic- tory and his return of opponent s kicks was no less spectacular. There is no more fight and speed in any one hundred and fifty pounds in any league than in this flashy half back who has another season left for Grant. WILLIAM HEAD Another of Grant s contributions to the all-star team is Bill Head whose perform- ance and style have rightly given him the title of the 'Talloping Ghost. His scintil- lating gains which have marked his first and only appearance in Portland have found no equal in the circuit and no team stopped consistently his shifty plan of attack. PAUL SULLIVAN Paul is one of the most powerful players on the squad. Built for drive he was always sent in when a spare yard or two was needed, and he seldom failed in his purpose. When other less powerful and lighter players weakened Paul was good for a gain. He has another football season at Grant ahead of him. I 1 g' . 5, 1 QL-IDJJN - N' J Jr Jr Jr 5 . 3.

Since the beginning of Grant's history, Mr. Eilertsen has been on the coaching staff at Grant, and with the retirement of Mr. Runquist, he took the place of head coach and developed a championship team in his initial season. Under his direction the Generals rounded into shape and emerged at the top of the league this past season FACULTY DIRECTOR, MR, EDWARDS This year also marked the advent of Mr. Edwards from Lincoln High as head of the athletic department.

If anything is needed, Hoffer is always on the job and ready to go after it. ASSISTANT MANAGER, RUSSELL GRANT Russell Grant, one of the most reliable and steady of managers, has ably assisted in the handling of the teams. The managers job, always one with little glory attached to it, he has filled efficiently and thoroughly. Season 's Summary The past football season at Grant has been the most successful that the school has experienced during its short career. When the first call for football material was issued, over eighty-five candidates answered the call, but out of all this material there were only eight letter-men, and from these only three played in regular uniforms on the 1926 championship squad. Besides, there was a change in the coaching staff for the coming term. Coach W. T. Eilertsen took the position left wacant by the retirement of Coach Alvin Runquist and added to his staff Assistant Coach Watt Long lately of Silverton, Oregon. The pre season games with Hood River, Camas, and Hillsboro did not show any extraordinary power although the Games where either won or tied, but instead led critics to think that Grant was out of the running for the 1927 title. The first pre season contest ended in a 37-0 victory over Camas. Head, Brownhill, and Little contributed with long distance score, but on the whole the team showed no outstanding performance and only showed up the Generals' weaknesses. This hint of lack of strength was more fully brought out by the Hood River game, a 0 0 tie in which Grant had all lf could do to stave off defeat. The inexperience of the material came to the top again and extensive practice was Coach Eilertsen's remedy for the ill The next week saw Grant s score again barely saved from disaster in the contest with Hillsboro Grant scarcely edged out a 7-6 victory by the virtue of George Little's ta? dwg Q , ff, X Jk l J . 1 I . , bc ' tr t Q t l A X x X - X X 4 --za.

Q, jf-gf ar fire? 1 ly'-A aultiltxl perfect drop-kick, but otherwise the game served to show that evidently the Generals were rated correctly in being ranked in fourth place. A much better all-round team made its first league appearance against Lincoln, but at that they were barely able to nose out a 6-O win. The game was mainly a match between Lincoln's aerial attack and Grant's speed and power, and it was due only to the fact that they pushed over a score in the opening minutes of play that the final result did not end in a deserving tie. The following week Grant chalked up another 6-0 victory over jefferson-another game that barely escaped a tie score. After fighting for three and a half quarters in jefferson territory, the Generals saw their chance in the form of a bowldering penalty on the Democrat ten-yard line from where the Generals pushed over the winning tally. Gaining power during the coming practice week, the Generals submerged the pow- erful Benson eleven by a surprising 19-17 score. Bill Head proved to be the thorn in the side of the Mechanics by crossing their goal line three times in the space of the game. Extensive workouts and the previous near defeats spelled determination and vic- tory and revealed the hidden power of the Blue and Grey team. The climax of the season was attained in the Franklin game when the irresistible Generals rolled up an inspiring 44-O avalanche. It proved to be the high spot in Grant's performance, for Grant showed the first spark of championship caliber in running the Quakers off their feet. Every improvement imaginable was shown in a rejuvenated Grant team. For the first time the backfield and line worked in perfect harmony to- gether and uncovered a power hitherto not showng and, contrary to Grantls usual tactics, they ran up a 33-O score at the end of the first half The next contest, with Commerce was the usual hangover after a walk awav and Grant barely emerged with a 6-0 win by pushing over a touchdown in the first quarter The harmony and smoothness of working was lacking, and the ever-alert Commerce line set back the Generalls deadly split-buck considerable. Again it was a timely tally in the opening minutes of play that staved off defeat The following week found Grant still in a slump and the lowly Roosevelt aggre gation, reposing in the cellar held the league-leading Generals to a scoreless tie. It was clearly Grant's game with the ball invariably in the Rough-Riders' territory, but the scoring punch was lacking. Time and again gratifying mid-field gains were stopped barely short of a touchdown, and as a result of this set-back, Grant was placed on even terms with Washington in their contest on Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving dawned cold and rainy and as two o clock drew near the field was a veritable mire-even the chalk lines were undistinguishable. Ten thousand spectators the largest crowd ever assembled at Portland to watch a high school game, braved the inclement weather Grant her tactics entirely changed for this crucial contest played 1 waiting gime and took advantage of every break, keeping the ball always in Washington's territory No team could stand under the strain of keeping its back incessantly against its own goal line and trying to compete with George Little's perfect punts, and consequently in the fourth quarter Washington cracked. Al Moore, Colonial fullback, fumbled behind his own goalg and Gene Tarbell, Grant end recovered for the score that gave Grant its second consecutive championship and permanent possession of the Oregonian trophy Immediately challenges poured in from all over Oregon Tillamook Salem Eugene Medford, McLaughlin, and even a team claiming the Illinois title demanded games with Portland's interscholastic champions. But, due to the fact that the team has finished a most strenuous season of ten hard-fought games, it was decided unadvisable to attempt a post-season game. In as much as a game of that nature would settle nothing, all nego tiations were ceased X C .0 ll 0 , 4 4 1 , 4 7 . . . , , r K , . 4 I 7 Q . l . L . . , K . .

BOYS' GYM LEADERS GIRLS' GYM LEADERS 88 V w in Fl MEIN Q3 Humor Humor is composed of several different forms: slams, when they are used without malice, the mistakes and misfortunes of persons other than yourselfg incongruity of thought, and last and lowest, puns. Slams often provide a good laugh. Take, if you please, the incident of the modern young man who says to a contemporary female, Say, sister, you give me a headache. The twentieth century maid then returns, Well, you're no aspirin tablet. That is humorous-unless, of course, she was looking at you when she said it. Then it ceases to be funny. Next comes the sort of humor that depends on the misfortune of a person for its origin. An example of this variety is the experience of my partner, Hugh, and myself in a physics laboratory. We were performing an experiment in connecting lights in series and in parallel. The apparatus consists of several lights fastened to a board and connected by movable metal strips. It is easy to get a shock if you put your hand on one of these strips without first disconnecting the electricity. I did so, and got a good shockg Hugh laughed unmercifully, though it didn't seem in the least funny to me. But when he inadvertently got a shock, all at once I saw the humor in the situation. Incongruity of thought lends a great deal to humor. Suppose I say, jack and joe were great friends, having mutual tastes in blondes, safety razors, breakfast food, and saxophonesf' That is humorous, for blondes have nothing to do with breakfast food. When they reach the cereal stage, they are no longer blondes but housewives. Puns are rightly called the lowest form of witg though as far as I can see, there is nothing witty about them. For example: He says to She, Do you like puns? She says, Sure, puns and coffee. Isn't that silly? Humor is a queer thing, the more there is of it, the less there is. By that I mean that the oftener a person attempts humor, the less is the number of times he succeeds in saying something really funny. Therefore I should like to make a plea for scarcer and better humor. The best way to accomplish a thing is to start at home, and if a certain little upstart in my English class fmeaning myselfj will breathe through his nose more frequently, the class will not have to swallow insipid half-humor, which had been better left unsaid.
