P. H. S. The first friend we found was Miss Turner, our worthy class adviser. At a very early date we held our first meeting, here electing Howard Bearss as President, Le Roy Heston as Vice President, Marjorie Niles as Secretary, Paul Walten as Treasurer and Landa Gillette as Student Body Representative. Later. Landa was elected President to fill the vacancy in the presidential chair left by Howard. Our class colors were selected as black and yellow, from which our unequaled pennant was made, the beauty of which was due to the interest and ability of Mrs. Bearss. The first social event was the Senior reception. A football rally was planned and with this the annual Freshman camp fire on the campus. We performed our duty and without a doubt surpassed all others. The next social event was a party for us. given by the Sophomores, which was soon returned. Although we were only Freshmen. Howard Bearss. Leo Sauer and James Lindsy represented us on the football team. Returning to school the next fall we threw away our Freshie greeness and became haughty Sophs. Miss Cornell was our class adviser for this year and our officers where chosen as follows: President. Harold Isham: Vice President. Remoh Tryer; Treasurer, Charles Hallowell; and Secretary, Annie Dungy. Our first social event was attending the Senior reception. We then entertained the Freshmen, which was returned. With bright prospects for the future we entered our Junior year with much enthusiasm with Neil Allen as our guide. In our first meeting we elected LeRoy Heston as President. Albert Randle as Vice President. Stephen Woodin as Treasurer, and Isabelle Rengstorff as Secretary. Being ambitious to put out an annual, as there had been none since our entering the H. S. we edited the Toka. We had a very successful year in football being represented on the team by six members of the class. In order to break the monotony of school study we established the Junior Flunk Day and spent a very enjoyable day on Louse Creek. We entertained the Seniors at the Waldorf Hall. At the end of the year the Seniors entertained us with the Annual Mysterious Initiation which was started by them and is to be carried on through the years by the Seniors. Then came our last year. After three years in the High School we were properly fitted to take upon our shoulders the title of dignified Seniors. Our officers for the year were as follows: First semester. Charles Hallowell. Presi- dent; Ernest Calhoun. Vice President; Hortense Hough, Secretary; Remoh 1 ryor. Treasurer; Landa Gillette, Student Body Council Representative; Stephen Woodin, Toka Representative. We gave the Senior Reception and a Christmas program at Christmas. Six of our number were represented on the football team. According to our plan we held election for our second semester officers and re-elected Charles Hallowell, President, Landa Gillette, Vice President, and Hortense Hough and Remoh Tryor retained their respective offices. Secretary and Treasurer, and Gladys Sandry, Student Body Council Representative. We have had Mrs. Gunnell as our worthy Class Adviser during our Senior year. K ■� I. 2. CHARLES H.

FIRST: To the High School in general, we do leave our school spirit and pep , we leave the foot ball pennant for the classes to fight over and our debts to be divided equally among the different classes. SECOND: To Superintendent Imel we do will several charters to be used in his political economy class in order that his students may have more efficient co-operation during examination. Also a complete correspondence course in the art “how to make a noise like a fish worm to save him time and trouble in baiting his hook when fishing. THIRD: To Professor Gaston, we do will one phonograph with a full set of 3-minute records to be used at the end of each period to give his little assembly talks thereby saving much breath. Also one large bulletin board upon which he may advertise lost and found articles. FOUR IH: To the honorable members of the School Board the Senior Class wills one of their members, Leonard Williams, whom we think will be an efficient teacher in conducting the ninth period class. FIFTH: To our beloved class advisor. Laura Thomas Gunnell, we do give our esteem and admiration for her ability to pour oil on troubled waters. SIXTH: To Ethel Parent, we do bequeath one pair of iron wheeled, re-en- forced roller skates to enable her to get to school on time without the least exertion, as a great deal of energy is needed to take down the deportment in the fifteen minute period before school. SEVENTH: To Glenn Wardrip, we will a heart (he has none) to throb during his assembly periods when coming in contact with his Freshies. Also, four brand new splinter-fired second hand Fords, no cylinder, horse powerless, ten passenger, tourless cars to be used as toys by his Auto-mechanics class, together with sixteen full sized quart bottles to contain all the surplus compression that circulates around the room when a finger is smashed. EIGHTH: To Eva Parrett, we leave one case containing six boxes of Ox Blood Red Rouge to be applied daily. This is guaranteed to give enough color to relieve the unusual pallor. NINTH: To Miss Yannke, we do will and bequeath Velma Everton’s curl- ing iron and Ellen Flint's latest receipe on “How to Reduce . 23 TENTH: To Edith Dahlberg, the careful motorist, we do will one over- sized, galvanized, unpainted Interurban Omnibus, equipping her with accomodation for a few more teachers and all the boys on the home run at noon. ELEVENTH: To Mrs. Stearns, we do will one little red wheeled cart hitched to a stub tailed hobby horse. We leave her this knowing that she will need some form of recreation after such a strenuous half year with the history classes. TWELFTH: To Miss Lindsay, we do will one pair of stilts with which she will not waste so much time going to the several schools where she is physical instructor. THIRTEENTH: To Etta McIntyre, we do will a husband and Mazella’s ability to vamp, providing she promise to come back next year and use it on the Freshmen only. FOURTEENTH: To Miss Cowan, we do will the latest I heorum: One square smile plus one chuckle cubed, times the triangle have a heart equals the attitude of the isosceles teacher plus one giggling Solid Ivory Geometry Class. FIFTEENTH: To Miss Horning, we do will and devise one patent tasting machine which we know will be greatly appreciated by her. because it will keep her from spoiling her appetite by tasting so many unappetizing messes made by her cooking classes. SIXTEENTH: To the Juniors, our successors, we will our unequaled CLASS SPIRIT and the CLOAK OF D1GN11 Y that goes with it so that with our passing, they may step into our places and command homage and reverence from their lower classmen. SEVENTEENTH: To the Sophmores, we leave our originality and our power of establishing precedents, and the remaining dignity, if there is any left after the Juniors receive their due portion. EIGHTEENTH: To the Freshmen, we do bequeath, one book of Robert s Rules of Order . In doing this we ardently hope they will be able to hold more dignified meetings without being completely overruled by their Class Advisor.

See that their beds are kept well stirred, their feet bathed regularly, their top-knots trimmed when necessary and the moss scratched off their backs. This they must do all during their future High School days, and when they are Seniors they may impose a like task upon the Freshman Class. NINTEENTH: To the incoming Freshmen, we do will our beloved Class Colors, Black and Gold, also the available standing room which we know they will need and we hope they will occupy, and in that way learn to stand up for the High School. 24 TWENTIETH: The following articles of individual property we leave to various people where we think they will be least appreciated, but most essential: 1.

We bid you alia last farewell, I he Class of I wenty-one. —Elsa Doerner. 2 I 27 PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1921. WE were walking along at the greatest resort on the western coast, located at the Wilderville swing, and now owned by Madame DeFoe, formerly Miss Flazel Barr. We strolled along, clothed in the thought of how. ten years before, we had come to this very spot, with the spell of the wilds about us—the wilds that knew no harness. Above us soared the buzzard while in front of us stretched the waters of the great Applegate, which gleamed and sparkled in the fast setting sun and reflected back the phantom shapes of the pathless forest on yonder shore, inhabited only by Robinson cattle and the carmverous digger. Far in the distance could be heard the terrible shrieks of the locomotive as they shot over the rails of the C. O. C. Suddenly a light beamed upon us as if the sun had burst forth in all its splendor. Half dazed, half stupified and hardly able to contain ourselves as we strove to overcome the stupendousness of the shock. Could we believe our eyes? No.—Yes.—Is it not was? Can it not were? Yes, it was Mrs. Gunnell, the Gibraltar of G. P. H. S., and the advisor of the Class of '21. ‘Twas the rampart of De Foe’s mansion that she was standing on, as beautiful as the dawn of evening. After the attack of greetings we swept her to a seat and were soon talking of our friends in that good old Class of 21. We soon discovered that we were not talking to the teacher of Shakespearian plays but to the retired dictator of the modern drama. The conversation soon drifted to the events of our school days and to the whereabouts of our former classmates. Between the three of us we could locate everyone except Floyd Parsons and Ernest Calhoun. Mr. Calhoun, the world s famous bugologist. once said. Ah, woe is me. I-ah-never could-ah-understand-ah-these women. Why do they-ah-treat me so? But in the act of pursuing a rare specimen of the pink wood rat, on an unknown island in the South Seas, he was vamped by a forest maiden and has never since been seen. 1 said we do not know where Floyd Parsons is. 1 will explain myself. Four years ago Myrtle Ford murdered him for breach of promise. She fled to the Philippines but was brought back to the Lmted States and sent to San Quentin for life. So, of course, we aren’t quite sure where Floyd is. Frieda Gebers has just embarked upon her third matrimonial venture. This time it is with the author of “Greasy stories, who lives in Nevada. Harold Lundburg has lost his interest in the First National Bank and has gone to Arizona where he owns a bank—a sand bank. Mrs. Harry Young, formerly Miss Maryl Muir, who married the seventeenth son of Brigham Young, is now shadow dancing for the Folliesand is undisputed leader in this profession. Remoh Tryer and Gretchen Clemens, being exceedingly bored with worldly things, including men. have finally yielded to the call of the wild and taken up a homestead on the headwaters of Jones Creek. They say that this is the ideal life. 28 Albert Randle has now completed the art of blowing smoke through his ears, without inhaling it. and is fast becoming famous for this wonderful feat. William Barrow has completed an invention which will melt the ice off of Iceland, thereby enabling the inhabitants to see what the earth is like. Glenn McAllister, who owns the famous stable of horses at Merlin has another victory. Old Bird Seed has won the race from Portland to Frisco. Time 3 years. Mr. McAllister gives the credit for this victory to his able jockey, Velma Everton. People noticed, as the old sawdust horse heaved into sight, that the little runt of a jockey was urging her quadruped to its utmost speed. The horse was going so fast it appeared in view Feb. I Oth and disappeared over the bridge at noon Feb. 20th. at break-neck speed. Cleo Roberts is making a tour of the U. S„ speaking in all the cities on How to get a kick out of a Ford”. hrank Hillis has written a book on How to Make Love .— Price 10c. Mr. Hillis says that although his book is worth a great deal more, he wants to help floundering high school boys in the field, as he knows, from experience, how badly they need this manuscript. Ish is now Dr. Harold Kent Isham. of New York City. He has lately discovered how to pull one tooth without loosening all the others. Leonard Williams and Malden LeRoy have gone into business together, having invented a one wheeled car which runs on lemon juice.—A great saving to the ranchers in California. We found out that Stephen Woodin was going to run for President in the next election, on the Anti-Gum Platform. His election is practically insured, as all the school teachers will doubtless vote for him. LeRoy Heston has established a patent medicine factory which is the only one of its kind in the U. S. It's chief product is a wonderful preparation called “The Magical Restorer of Eyebrows . Hon. Landa Gillette has just made Mrs. Gunnell a visit. He is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S., and is still unmarried, having since his high school days, lived up to the motto of, Fuss ’em all. but go with none . Ellen Flint is married and happy in a little home in Eugene, and as the little verse says, At housekeeping she is quite smart, Tho’ engineering is her ART. Emma Alberts has made a wonderful stride in the advancement of schoolroom psychology. Her achievement is how to quiet children while injecting knowledge with a siphon. Elsa Doerner, after many years, has finally found a publisher for her wonderful poem, Elegy on a Rail Fence , a beautiful pastoral romance along the waysides and byways. Yvonne Smith, the famous writer, has finished her third book, entitled, “Why Wear It? You Don’t Need It. Her other books are. “The Trials and Tribulations of Myron C. Gaston and “The Evolution of a Fluttering Heart , both much read by discriminating people all over the world. Dorothy Stidham, the famous criminologist, of New York City, has at last 2 proved her favorite theory, that all crooks are not crooked, despite their warped brains and unusual working hours. Pauline Meade is traveling all over the country, selling her latest invention, the wireless hairpin; which has proved very successful, being used by all fastidious women who really want the best. Hortense Hough, the favorite pupil of Paderewski, is playing for all the excrown heads of Europe, and is said to be a special favorite of the former Kaiser. Marie Kerley is also a noted musician, having just accepted the position of leading soprano in the Cathedral of Paris. She is drawing an immense crowd. Amelia Sauer and Isabelle Rengstorff are sheep herders living with their flock in the heart of Africa. Miss Sauer was bucked off a few days ago by her pet camel, and seriously injured. She is being cared for by Lillian Keyte, who is stationed, as a trained nurse, near the Sauer-Rengstorff ranch. And about Cudrun Anderson. We would never recognize her. Alas, poor child, she is traveling with Barnum Bailey’s circus, as the fat lady, weighing five hundred and ninety five (595) pounds. The Dale Boys, Expert Whittlers, who have just purchased new knives are busily engaged in whittling out tooth picks in a New York cafe. They are making an immense fortune and expect to retire soon. Mrs. Gunnell has received several letters from former members of our class telling what they are doing. She read these to us. The first was as follows:— Santa Rosa, California. May 10. 1931. Dear Laury:- Guess I'll have to write and tell you what this kid is doing. I am sure having a heck of a time. I am tight rope walker in Barnum Bailey's Circus. Gee, some class, eh? What’s the rest of the old gang doing? Yours till I fall off the rope. S'long, Zell Robinson. Dear Mrs. Gunnell:- Boston, Mass. May 12. 1931. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that I am considered champion roller skater of the U. S. Next month, with a group of girls, I will skate across the continent on the National Highway, which, as you probably know was finished in 1928. Hoping to see you while in the West, I am. Yours truly, Josephine Holland Dear Mrs. Gunnell:- Glanroa, South Sea Islands. As these years have rolled by, many queer things have happened to me. While on my sixth trip around the world I happened on this island inhabited by cannibals. Here I met and wedded the fair daughter of the king of the island. She is the light of my life. 1 am now living in the royal hut and some day expect to be king. I am well and happy. Hoping you are the same, I remain as ever, Chas. Hollowell ■� Crescent City, Calif. May 3. 1921. Dear Mrs. Gunnell:- I am ashamed to tell you of my occupation, but I feel it my duty. I am running one of the largest, most exclusive gambling dens in the U. S. In fact it is called the Monte Carlo of the U. S. 1 am thinking of retiring next year if I make the million I expect to. Guess I will close as I hear shooting down stairs and must investigate. Yours, Berthe Green So, we had located every one and were quite pleased with what the class was doing. LeRoy Heston Landa Gillette Remoh Tryer Lillian Keyte Isabelle Rengstorff Gretchen Clemens Elsa Doerner Pauline Meade Marie Kerley Stephen Woodin Charles Hollowell Hazel Barr Albert Randle Berthe Green tttli CLASS SONG Tune— Believe Me. If All Those Endearing Young Charm. In youth’s garden we’ve wandered with hearts light and gay. But at last to the gate we have come; For the days and the hours filled with work and with play. So quickly have passed one by one. At the gate we must part, and then start out to seek What this world may for us have in store; But no matter happiness lies there to reap. Yet together we’ll be nevermore. So with sadness we leave all the scenes we hold dear. And the teachers and classmates so true. To go out in the world, and there year after year. Do the work God has sent us to do. Yet the days just now past, deep in each memory. Will be kept till our work on earth's done; And way down in our hearts still the spirit there’ll be Of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-one. —Elsa Doerner M THE SENIOR TREE DEDICATION FRIDAY afternoon, April 29. was the date of the dedicaton to the High School, by the class of ’21, of the twenty-one elm trees that line the A street boundary of the campus. This gift from the class was inspired by the movement to improve the High School campus, that is now being carried forward by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Chamber of Commerce. The ceremony was short and interesting, the chief feature being the christening of the trees. The names selected for these noble guardians of the campus are made up of the surnames of the members of the class and that of their advisor, may they live forever, casting their protecting shades over countless seniors to be. Students of the Grants Pass High School, ever protect and guard them Their duly christened names are as follows: Kerley Barr, Meade Rengstoiff. Sandry Smith. Sauer Stidham, Flint Green, Roberts Robinson, Keyte Gebers, Tryer Clemens, Doerner Muir, Anderson Hough, Ford Everton, Holland Alberts. Dale Barrow, Calhoun lsham. Dale McAllister, Woodin Heston, Hillis Parsons, LeRoy Lundburg. Randle Williams, Gillette Hollowell and Laura 1 hotnas Gunnell. After the ceremony a Silver Tea was served, the proceeds of which were donated to the campus improvement fund. May other Seniot Classes help the good work along. !� f f SENIOR TABLE ROCK PICNIC FRIDAY morning. April 15, a happy bunch of Seniors gathered at the Court House and by 8:30 the ten cars that had been marshalled for their use. were filled and started on their way via the Pacific Highway to Gold Hill, enroute for Table Rock. The foot of the rock was reached about 9:30 and the assent began. The day was perfect and the wonderful view from the top of the rock more than repaid the effort expended on the climb. Returning to the cat s, the short run to Bybee Bridge was made when a wonderful picnic dinner was served under the trees on the river bank. And were the Seniors hungry? Each bite during the first half hour tasted exactly the Seniors TPiP to TAOlE r?OCV 32 like more, but finally all declared themselves completely satisfied, and the party proceeded on its way to Ashland, where supper was served in the park. After this was finished the Seniors declared they would never be hungry again, at least not until the next chance to eat. All aboard,” was called and soon they were on their way to Medford and the show at the Rialto. After the picture—home-ward bound—this feat was attained without mishap and a happy but tired bunch arrived home in the wee small hours, almost sorry they were Seniors with no chance to repeat the day’s experience. t ft ft THE. SENIOR PLAY “ML OF A SUDDEN PEQQY” ALL of a Sudden Peggy was the play selected for the Seniors of 1921. This play was produced in the Opera House under the direction of Laura Thomas Gunnell and added another winner to her long series of successes. The play was given with all the dash and spirit of professionals and delighted the two crowded houses that enthusiastically laughed with them, and encored them, forgetting for the time being that these young people would still be in Grants Pass the next week and not miles away on the road presenting their story to another audience. Gretchen Clemens was charming as Peggy and played the all-of-a-sudden-ness as though the part was written especially for her. Landa Gillette certainly fell head over heals in love with her, to all outward appearances, and repeated his former successes in leading roles. Ernest Calhoun's Anthony brought down peal after peal of laughter on his innocent wellmeaning head and thoroughly convinced the audience that a character part can be played successfully by an amateur. LeRoy Heston, as Major Archie was changed beyond recognition. His presentation of this character was especially fine and won hearty applause from the audience. Maryl Muir, as Mrs. O'Mara. seemed born to the brogue and convulsed the audience by her spontaneous, earnest portrayal of the genuine straight forward soul. Elsa Doerner, as Lady Cracken 1 horpe, displayed a dignity we could have suspected her capable of assuming, but her haughty mannerisms showed the results of careful study of her character. Isabelle Rengstorff gave us a charming and natural Millicent studied carefully and portrayed truly. All her scenes were thoroughly enjoyable. Marie Kerley, as Lady Colquhoun, left nothing to be desired in her character. Her rapid fire solo discussion of the affair in the second act made every one believe in her ability to handle the situation single handedly. All the other characters were charming portrayals, and the play as a whole will be long remembered. ii ■ ■ W The complete cast is as follows: Anthony. Lord Crackenthorpe Ernest Calhoun The Hon.

Original unexpectedness was the theme throughout, and never once did the different specialties fail to make the goal. Lillian Keyte. as the “Sleepy Senior was charming in the extreme. Harold Lundburg, as King of the Demons, and Carl Dale and Harold lsham, as his Imps put the events of the evening through with a vim that brought forth hearty applause. The Senior Girls' Double Quartette was introduced in a new role, and their black face numbers were a decided hit, making the girls more popular than ever. Who will take their place? The orchestra was an additional enjoyable feature, adding greatly to the success of the evening. A fine entertainment was the unanimous verdict of all who were privileged to attend. titti COMMENCEMENT THE Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1921 of the Grants Pass High School were held at the Opera House, May 20, 1921. As the class of forty Seniors marched up to the stage under the flower decorated Junior Arches, enthusiastic applause from a crowded house greeted them. Taking their places upon the beautifully decorated stage, they made an inspiring picture not soon to be forgotten.

We started as Freshmen with Mrs. Parent as class advisor. We chose green and gold as our colors and elected the following executives: Waldo Baker, President; Gretchen Clemens. Vice-president; Mabel Peterson, Secretary; Gene Murphy. Treasurer. We gave our share of entertainments which were pronounced unsurpassed by our upper classmen. It was a great task for just one to be chosen from our class as receiver of the scholarship medal, but at last Corlyss Courtney was awarded it. Entering as sophmores, our class was diminished somewhat, ’tho' we still had a large one. With Mrs. Parent our adviser again, we elected Keith Edger-ton, President; Josephine F. Smith, Vice-president. Anna Nielson. Secretary and Josephine A. Smith. Treasurer. Our interesting entertainments were kept up to the top-notch as in our preceding year. Several of our boys were on the school’s football team and several of our girls on the basketball team. Corlyss Courtney was awarded the scholarship medal again. Entering the present year we are able to boast many new and most of our old members. With Mrs. Parent as our best-half still, we have as our officers: Gene Murphy, President; Waldo Baker, Vice-president; Katherine Kncx, Secretary and Bill Ament, Treasurer. We have five of our boys on the regular football team and one a substitute. Three members of the debating team are girls from our class. We have had numerous candy sales, and one excellent concert, the proceeds of which have gone toward publishing the annual Toka, which is being put out by our class. In the early part of the present year, we entertained the Student Body with a clever pantomine stunt. We have had the least number of tardies since Professor Gaston promised the class having five or less a half holiday. We have received three half days off, hiking to Granite Pit one time, to Baldy the next, and saved the last for our Flunk Day celebrated on Louse Creek. Our greatest feat, is the publishing of the Annual and we are, as a class, trying very hard to make it the greatest success in the history of the G. P. H. S. The Seniors made a prophecy It was all the bunk. The Juniors tried to fix it But threw it out for junk. The Juniors fooled the public And wrote a new one for the Sens. But all their work was fruitless For Helen “spilt the beans . .18 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President - Vice President .... Secretary ..... 1 reasurer ..... Class Adviser ....

Oh you dear old school. —Eunice Hillis, '22 40 TO A LOST GOB AND A POOR CRAFT AS I SIOP to think about the happenings of many thousands of years back in our world, and Christian history, 1 find that at one time there came a flood that covered the whole world. Some people were saved by the use of an ark but it was through preparation and advice that they were ready for the flood. Other people did not prepare but just went their way and when the flood came they soon found that they could not stay on top and so they went under. I notice that the same thing is happening to me. Advice and preparation have been neglected. My old boat leaks and will hold nothing. I would probably sink, but I am running on bluff. It is a pretty rough ride. Not far away. I can see a boat-load of my companions riding along splendidly, having a good time. They have prepared and have a foundation. They took advice when it was proffered them and now the flood has finally come and they sail off and take it easy, while I paddle along and cram in a little packing to keep my boat from sinking. My packing may wear out, and then where will 1 be? Of course, 1 will be hitting for the bottom. My old boat sure is a mess, and 1 fear that if this wreck of an ark 1 made doesn’t hold, I will have to jump out and swim. I am a very poor swim- 43 mer and shall make slow progress, but that is what is coming to me for my lack of preparation. If any any one should ever find this note just take advice and make a good boat and use plenty of packing. —Waldo Baker, 22. LOADING THE ARK THE second month of school I grew tired of study as my report card had shown. An explanation was due at home so 1 sat down in a comfortable spot and began to think things over. As I sat racking my brain and grasping for an inspiration I saw a house boat that was so large it filled up all the space that is taken up by Grants Pass, Merlin, Hugo, Glendale, and Rose-burg. Observing it more closely I realized it was Noah s Ark, but it was empty. Looking towards Medford, I recognized Majority Student assisting Noah or Studious Pupil by nickname, load his ark. I could plainly see that only twenty three and one-half hours were left to load all the animals and the specie called Dramatics was the only one at hand. Noah rushed toward the east and in a few seconds only a spot could be seen on the horizon. Majority Student was left to load the species, Chemistry, English, Languages. (French, Spanish and Latin, all branches of the same) Agriculture and History. Majority Student had just as much time as Studious Pupil, but he found a popular novel that had not been considered rubbish, so he spent his time leisurely until there remained only six hours. Studious Pupil had driven in all animals from ramparts, but Majority Student had to begin with a mad rush, running for a Coal-tar Compound. a Nitrogen Atom, a Bacon’s Essay, a Shakespearean Tale, or a translation. As the waters began to cover the earth. Majority Student rushed to Studious Pupil for aid in getting a stray Notebook, a lost Assignment, and a Pencil which had wandered away, and mislaid Paper. All these animals not yet loaded were swift runners, but Studious Pupil soon caught and loaded them and said no more, but Majority Student groaned and crabbed about over-work and hard work until Holiday Student’s pet pigeon, brought word that work was over. —Lula Garret, '22. ENTERING THE TOWER OF SUCCESS EVERYGIRL had a great desire to enter the Tower of Success. But to do this it was necessary for her to go over the Hill of Education and cross the Stream of Experience which flowed through the Valley of Etiquette. She started at the bottom of the Hill of Education but found it rather steep. Every now and then she was overtaken by Laziness who proposed a rest. Once she stopped, and sat down for a while. W'hen she arose her classmates were ahead other. Pushing Laziness away from her hurriedly she called Determination who gladly aided Everygirl in recovering her former position but it was only by hard work. Thereafter Everygirl left Laziness in his dark den and kept at the Top of the Hill of Education. She found that it was flat as far as she could see 44 until abruptly arose the Tower of Success on a slight rise of ground near the horizon. She walked on and on. her heart light for she thought she would soon be there. But, suddenly, she came to a steep valley, the banks of which were even and which could not be seen for any great distance. This was the Valley of Etiquette. At the bottom, far below ran the Stream of Experience. laziness looked her in the face. “Come on, he said. “1 will show you a way to get over the Valley of Etiquette in a short, easy way. Determination came up behind Laziness and pushed him aside. Now, Everygirl, said Determination. “Go right on. You must cross this valley before you can enter the I ower of Success. So Everygirl started down the steep bank. She had a desire to run but Determination held her back. “Go slow, she said. You must not go through the Valley of Etiquette swiftly or you will not gain the knowledge that is in store for you. She reached the Stream of Experience. By this time. Laziness was far behind and determination had the upper hand. So Everygirl started without delay to cross the Stream of Experience. Having crossed that, she found the opposite bank harder to scale than the other had been to descend. She looked bark. There Laziness was just coming down the slope. Determination saw laziness coming also, so sent Everygirl on with renewed vigor. At last, by hard climbing, she reached the top and saw the Tower of Success in full view once more. But she was not as forunate as she had thought. Going up to the door, she saw Ghost Rival trying to get in ahead of her. Despair stood at her side. Come away.” said Despair. T here's no use for you to try to get in there now. Ghost Rival has your place. Stay yet awhile. said Determination. “You will enter if you stay long enough. At the door were two ladders reaching to the high threshold. Everygirl began climbing the one not occupied by Ghost Rival. I he contest was close until they neared the top. Then Determiation urged on faster, and she entered the Tower of Success. —Opal Dow, 22. QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN URN AS the young prophet sat gazing into the curling flames of the fire-place he dreamed the complete course which the winning debating team was going to take from the tryout until the winners had carried off the Golden Urn. In the flames he seemed to see the room full of listening students with one talking, the judges listening intently to decide who were the best. Some made brilliant successes, others made a fair speech, and a few made miserable failures of the whole tryout. The judges came back with their verdict of the six chosen for the final teams. In his mind, the young prophet named the six names which he thought fitting as: Perseverance, Interest, Work, Study and Practice. 4S At the end of the tryout these chosen representatives began to really prove that they had been well named. They worked together in twos and threes, such as, Perseverance and Study. Interest and Work. Practice was always among them all, ever busy. Always in the back ground was a something that whispered, “What you work for you will attain . So they worked together always mindful of the whispering which they had confidence in. Then came the final tryout to determine which four of the six should be the actual debaters. For this they all strove but the judges made the decision, and the work went on, they more than ever determined to find and carry off the Golden Urn. Then, after weeks of preparation the first big debate was held and the team made up of Perseverance, Practice, Interest, and Study carried off the laurels for both sides of the question. With the decision of the judges the championship of a portion of the state was won. Now came the time for the preparation for the great debate that was to decide the championship of the state and to whom the Golden Urn would fall. Fully realizing this, the so far victorious teams, settled down to do what their names implied and to make the one last fight for the goal now shining in view. More than ever the whispering voice saying, what you work for you will attain . With ever this small voice driving them on, and with Practice ever among them they worked their way to as near perfection as was in the power of any teams composed of like members. Behind all these efforts was always the guiding hand of advice and direction to whom is due a great portion of the success of the season's victories. Now the teams leave for a neighboring town where the final is to be held. Amid the cheers of the Average Scholar the hopeful teams depart. 1 he decision rests with them. The great event is now taking place and to Average Scholar it seems too close to venture a decision of his own. So every one waits for the final rebuttal and then amid the whispering prophecies the sealed envelopes containing the decision of the judges are passed up to the chairman, who slowly opens them. The first decision is all wrong, a shout from one side of the house and a groan from the other. The chairman next reads the other two decisions in quick succession. They are both the opposite of the first. The chosen six had at last reached the summit and the Golden Urn was theirs. With a start the young prophet wakes from his revery and looks with seeing eyes at the flame in the fire place. As he rose to retire he whispered to himself, “Let us hope it will be true . —Floyd Bailey, '22. 46 THE SPELL OF THE ENCHANTRESS ONCE upon a time, I had a dream of exceeding strangeness. That is, at first it seemed strange, but after I had dreamed for a long time, I realized it was not so strange after all, but merely a scene from everyday life, presented in a queer way. Methought I saw a boy. called “Everyboy , standing on the edge of a forest, called the Wilderness of Love . He seemed to wish very much to enter the wilderness, as a very beautiful girl, named Enchantress , lived here. Now Everyboy s father was a poor man, although of good family, and “Enchantress father was very rich. So she thought herself a little above Everyboy , as one of her companions was Pride , a sort of disdainful sort of fellow, who was not at all true to her. Rut Everyboy finally took a companion, called Courage with him, and entered the Wilderness of Love . He found beautiful “Enchantress , the object of his affections, walking in the Garden of Happiness . Taking Cour-age by the arm. Everyboy entered the garden and began to talk to Enchant-ress . He was very happy, of course, and finally asked her if he might take her to the House of Movies that evening. She readily consented, and he went home with great joy in his heart. Rut the worst was yet to come. He dressed with great care, floundering in misery over the Path of Stiff Collars . and falling over the Fence of Tight Shoes . Rut he eventually reached the Wilderness of Love . Here his real difficulty began. He had piomised to meet “Enchantress at the Castle of Pa” and, not having brought Courage with him, he could not scale the steep wall. Also hearing a masculine voice coming from the house, he began to fear that Ghost Rival had arrived before him. He did not know what to do, but before he decided, he saw Courage and “Despair running up to him. When they were almost to him. Despair fell, and Courage won the race. He urged Everyboy to go on, and told him about the Ladder of Ma which would help him to scale the steep wall of the Castle of Pa . So. by means of this friendly ladder “Everyboy got in. He found that it had not been Ghost Rival , whom he had heard, but merely Enchantress' little brother “Tease . And his happiness was complete when he and Enchantress walked through the “Wilderness of Love to the “House of Movies . —Helen Lister. '22. “THE ROAD TO THE MOUNTAIN OF FAME. ONE bright, sunny morning, a fair-faced lad. set out to do an errand which he disliked very much. As he walked slowly along the road his heart full of bitter thoughts, and he felt real cross because some, no better than himself, were that very minute enjoying ease and pleasure, while there was little for him but labor and pain. While he was in very deep meditation, he came to a beautiful spot where two roads met. He stopped, not certain which one to take, and sat in the cool shade of the trees. The road on the right, he noticed 47 was hilly and rough and there was no beauty about it. but it led straight to the blue mountains, where he longed to go. The road on the left was broad and smooth, with stately old trees, moss covered, forming an arch, where sang thousands of beautiful birds and lovely flowers poured forth their delicate perfume. In the distance were trees with apples of pure gold glistening in the sunshine. But as he looked farther on, he noticed that all ended in a great white mist, long before reaching his beloved blue mountains. While he was trying to decide which road to take, he saw two fairies coming toward him. The one who came down the flowery path, was as beautiful as the summer day, her cheeks were pink like roses that grew by the roadside, her eyes sparkled, her voice was like dreamy music. “O. noble youth , she said. “Choose my road, it will lead you to pleasant ways where there is neither toil, hard study nor drudgery of any kind. Your ears shall always be delighted with sweet sounds, your eyes with things beautiful and gay and enjoy the hours as they pass. By this time the other fairy was drawing near, and she spoke to the lad, “My road, as you see is rocky and rough, and climbs many hills and descends into valleys. The view you get from the hill-tops is grand and glorious, but the valleys are dark and the uphill paths are tiresome, but the road leads to your beloved mountain, the mountain of endless fame, which you can see far in the distance. They cannot be reached without labor, but there is nothing that is really worth having that must not be won through toil. If you would have fruits and flowers, you must care for them, if you will gain the love of your fellow men, you must love and suffer for them, if you wish to be a man, you must make yourself strong by doing manly deeds . I hus spoke the fairy from the road to the right. The lad noticed that her face seemed plain at first but it grew exceedingly beautiful, as she spoke. “What is your name? he asked. Some call me Labor, but others know me as 1 ruth. she replied. And what is your name, said the lad to the other fairy. “My name is Pleasure, she said. “What can you offer me if I choose your road? “Just pleasure and joy is all 1 have to offer, said the fairy, with a smile. “My road does not lead to the mountain of fame. Labor, said the lad, 1 will follow your road. 1 want to be strong and manly, and whether I shall ever reach the blue mountains or not, 1 will have the reward of knowing that my journey has not been without some worthy aim. Fairy Pleasure, vanished into the paradise of flowers, while Labor and the lad, followed the road to the mountain of fame. —Helen Marsh, ’22. 4N SOPHOMORE HISTORY THE class of '23 entered the Grants Pass High School ninety nine strong, and at once distinguished itself in all forms of High School activities. With Miss Sinclair as our class adviser we elected our officers for the year. Wesley Eggers. president; Jack Murphy, vice-president; Vera Robinson, secretary and Virginia Green, treasurer. We entered into football with great enthusiasm and joining our forces with the Seniors won the inter-class games. A number of our men represented us in the victorious games of our High School. On the night of the football rally the Freshman bonfire was a great success and we were awarded the prize for the best class stunt. The Sophomores entertained us in the Fall and we returned their hospitality in January with a party at the High School, and later in the year we celebrated the arrival of Spring with a hike. We came back in the Fall somewhat reduced in number, being only sixty five, but our pep was still with us. Those elected were: President, Merle Ri- mer; Vice-President, Vera Robinson; Secretary, Ruth Nichols; Treasurer, Virginia Green, with Miss Dahlburg as our class adviser. The first part of our school year was saddened by the death of Kenneth Woodin, a very loyal classmate. Our girls basketball team has won many honors this year and five of our girls played on the High School team. We had as substitute on the football team. Merle Rimer. On Hallowe’en we entertained the Freshmen with a party at the High School and they in turn gave us a party and dance at the Woodman Hall. On Washington's birthday it fell to our lot to give a program. This filled all expectations with its Minuet, Chorus and Colonial Scenes. This year is closing with our enthusiasm growing stronger and we are preparing to be an active class next year.

S2 ■W 5.? FRESHMAN HISTORY CLASS Histories as a rule are opportunities for a class to brag, more to be marveled at than praised. But the present Freshman class has learned its lesson of silence, and will merely state the facts, and let the reader judge for himself. On September 13. 1920, the Freshman class enrolled at G. P. H. S. and joined the jolly ranks of the school. this made it necessary for us to organize. At our first class meeting Hayden Tucker was elected president, and has proven his ability as such. Iris Burns was chosen vice-president, Clara Harbeck, secretary, and Irene Hyde, treasurer. Our colors, old rose and black, emphasize the fact that we are different and the best class ever. The reception given us by the Sophomores was enjoyed by a large number of our class members. It is well known that Freshmen are slow but sure, and we are not an exception to that rule, however we in turn gave a party to the Sophomores which under the splendid direction of our class adviser. Mr. Wardrip, was most successful. At the end of our first semester our treasurer became a “Soph . Chester Edgerton was chosen to fill the vacancy. In January twenty six new classmen entered, increasing our number to 120 who were duly initiated into the mysteries of our school. The form of initiation was: The girls of the Senior and Junior classes supplied the Sub-Freshman girls with voluminous green hair bows, forcing them to put their hair down their back and to pin back their puffs. They were then led across the platform, personally introduced to the assembly, the faculty. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and the U. S. flag. I he boys, under the supervision of the Junior and Senior boys, had a very exciting walnut race, in which every boy was forcibly requested to participate. Louis DeGeneault was the lucky winner of the race, rolling a walnut across the floor with his nose faster than anyone else, thus attaining great distinction in the athletic world. I hree of our girls made the first basketball team, and two others followed as subs. Then when baseball became the fad , both a girl's and boy's team was organized. Our class stunt took the form of an April Fool's joke which fully did justice to the day. Last but not least comes the hikes. The first was a hike to Mt. Baldy, and the second to the Ament dam and Dry Diggings. Both times we were chaperoned by Mr. Wardrip. Miss Parrot assisted in the arduous task of chaperonage on the first hike. • As we look back over the year we see many mistakes, but owing to the genuine class spirit that prevails, we can still say it's the BEST CLASS EVER . Many thanks are due to our janitor. Mr. Rimer, who is good-natured and agreeable when he has to stay up all hours of the night to straighten up after our entertainments, parties and feeds.

Virginia. He was very well dressed and his stately appearance showed that he belonged to one of the first families of Virginia, who at that time owned the great plantations of that state. At a respectful distance behind him followed a handsome young man of about the same age riding a smaller horse. At first glance he might have been taken for an associate of the former; but if the latter were regarded more closely it would have been noted that he was not, because of his deferential attitude. On the way, the first young man was accosted by an elderly gentleman who impressed one at once by his aristocratic mien. With a hearty welcome the old man greeted the young man: Good morning, George. What do you think of this beautiful spring morning? The air is so invigorating that it almost makes me think that 1 am a youth again and as care free and happy as you. Ah! Good morning. Judge, responded George. I am delighted to see you so happy to-day. We are indeed blessed with an unusual and beautiful spring. At this greeting the young man who followed George was seen to raise his hat respectfully. The conversation continued. George, I hear that you intend to leave for California very soon. 1 hope you do not leave us for good, but will come back to good old Virginia again. 1 surely wish you good luck and a pleasant trip. George thanked him and continued his journey. The man following George had overheard the conversation and spoke eagerly. Is it true, Mr. George, that you are going to California? May 1 go too? Wait, 1 shall see, George responded. By this time the two travelers had reached their destination and George said. Bart, 1 have thought the matter over and if you want to go with me to California and work for me a year I'll then set you free. Yes, indeed. Mr. George. said Bart meaningly, I shall gladly work for you if 1 can only go. AH right, said George, the matter is settled. In the evening. George spoke to his father about leaving for California with Bart, but George s father, Mr. Hamilton, said, George, you cannot go to California now for 1 have some business in New York that I want you to attend to. I am afraid you will have to change your plans somewhat. But, father, what shall I do with Bart? George asked. Leave him here with me until you return, replied his father. Mr. and Mrs. Grant, George’s uncle and aunt, were spending the evening at the Hamiltons’ and Mr. Grant said. Mrs. Grant and I are leaving f� 0 ■ ) for Marysville, California, next month and we will gladly take Bart and he can stay with us at Marysville until you join us. This sounded feasible so George eagerly consented to the plan. Bart, or Bartholemew Hamilton, was born on a Virginia plantation. He was one-eighth negro. He and his mother were slaves owned by Charles Hamilton and his wife. Bart and George were nearly the same age. George’s negro mammy, or nurse, was Bart’s own mother. Charles Hamilton and household moved to St. Louis and lived there several years where George was educated in the University of St. Louis, and Bart was also given the advantages of an education, although he was not permitted to attend classes with the white students. His education was obtained outside of the classrooms, from private study and contact with the students. The only negro marks upon him were beneath his nails, around his eyes, and back of his ears. He was tall and had black, straight hair, and was always immaculately dressed. In 1850 after their return to Virginia, Charles Hamilton and his wife freed all the slaves but Bart, and he was given to George. The day came for the departure of the Grants and Bart. They sailed from New York for the Isthmus of Panama. The sea was calm and the passengers were congenial. In early morning one day they came in sight of a round high bluff with a castle on top and a long shore beneath. This was Chagres. The news aboardship caused confusion for they would have to land in a short time with all their goods and obtain transportation across the Isthmus. To land first was the supreme desire of each traveler. The men ran about the deck collecting their baggage and then to the ship's officers to ask permission to be rowed to shore first. Bart, who was enjoying himself watching the confused crowd, thought of a possibility of getting Mr. and Mrs. Grant and himself ashore first. When the boat came to anchor, the crowd rushed to one side of the ship where the boats were being lowered from the davits. Noticing this, Bart hurried Mr. and Mrs. Grant over to the corresponding boat on the other side, which was being lowered, and they quickly put to shore far ahead of the rest of the crowd. They beached in the mud and were at once surrounded by small colored men, who seized their baggage and ran, scattering with it in different directions. Luckily, Bart could speak Spanish so he quickly brought order out of the chaos and inquired where the hotel was and asked to be guided to it. Walking was the only available means of transportation but this made it possible for them to take in the strange sights. About two hundred rudely constructed cane huts lined the streets. Single palm trees grew here and there. Men and women clad in a single cotton garment lounged in their doorways, the women smoking huge cigars. Children, stark naked, played in the mud, outnumbered only by the hairless dogs which kept them company. On the thresholds, in the streets, everywhere, were old fish, heads of cattle, drying hides, and all sorts of carrion. Altogether, the place was unattractive, to say the least, but nevertheless interesting to our travelers, who never had seen anything similar. Finally, our party reached the hotel, and Bart was sent out to arrange transportation to Gorgona. He returned when he had fulfilled his mission and 61 looked after their baggage while Mr. and Mrs. Grant went to dinner. Their meal, the best to be had. consisted of pork and bread and water. In the afternoon, they started in a canoe for Cruces. The broad, sluggish river was alive with boats struggling to make their way against the current. Soon they reached the place where the river entered a tropical forest. 1 he banks were lined to the water’s edge with vegetation, so that nothing could be seen but the jungle. There were great palms, teaks and sycamores with various sorts of canes, shrubs, and lillies growing among them. Everywhere, overhanging trees and bushes, were the snares of the jungle, its trailing vines. The shadows in the forest were light, clear green, but under the hanging jungle along the water's edge they were a dull green. Butterflies, the most beautiful that could be imagined, were flying among the vine’s blossoms, and brilliant hued birds called loudly from the branches of the trees. Dusk was almost upon them when the party reached a village of bamboo huts. This was Gatun. The boat was beached and the Grants and Bart were led to one of the huts in which to spend the night. This hut was a two-storied affair, with a knotched pole by which to scramble aloft. Morning found them again in the canoe and by night they had reached Pena Blanca, where they slept in open sheds. The next day brought them into open country and they passed many green grass savannahs dotted with palms and trees something like our locusts, where herds of cattle were grazing and wild turkeys tempted the sportsman to land. As they proceeded the river narrowed and became swifter and frequent portages were necessary. Along in the afternoon, they reached bolder shore. Directly ahead arose a mountain. They glided around the base of it, and so came to Gorgona, situated on a high bluff beyond. This marked the end of the trip by river. The hotel was full so they had to stay in a small house in the outskirts of the city. The house was a low substantial one with several rooms, a veranda and chimneys. This was the most comfortable place they had rested in for many a night. By the time Mr. and Mrs. Grant contemplated starting, Bart had secured mules and was waiting outside, and anxious to continue their journey. They set forth and soon entered a dense forest country with lofty trees, thick foliage, swinging vines, and strange big leaves. A heavy rain had fallen the night before and consequently, the trail was the consistency of very stiff mud. The first mule left tracks, then the next trod carefully in the tracks of the first. These tracks filled with water and when the third mule stepped into these the water would gush out of them and bespatter the luckless rider. The unfortunate one was Bart, as he always followed his companions when it was possible to do so. Dozens of dead mules lay along the trail, vultures sat in trees, and scores of exhausted men lay flat by the wayside as though dead. This part of the journey was indeed the worst that had yet been encountered and they spent that night in a wayside hut. Early the next morning they began to ascend a little ridge which proved to be the first of a steady ascent which brought them to the City of Panama. The houses of the city were two-storied wooden ones, painted in bright colors, all with a corridor, and a veranda across the face of the second story. 62 - ! Ancient cathedrals and churches stood, gray with age, before grass grown plazas. In the outskirts of the town were massive masonry ruins of great buildings, convents and colleges, some of which had never been finished. Vegetation and vines grew in every crevice. I he body of the town was much more exciting and fanciful. The old dilapidated and picturesque houses had taken on a new and temporary smartness of modernity, consisting mainly of signs. I he main structures were hotels and eating houses. I hese were crowded day and night, for over a thousand men were awaiting the chance for transportation to the gold fields of California. Inadequate facilities for transportation made the delay here long and trying. The gambling houses were doing a good business, and the restaurants, as a whole, were very bad. Out side the walls of the city was a large encampment of tents in which most of the miners waited. In company with them was a large hospital tent. Here the Grants were delayed for several days on account of the lack of transportation. Bart kept close watch. His opportunity came. He drew lots for the next chance to sail on the steamer and won. so they set sail the next day and the rest of their trip to San I- rancisco was very enjoyable. But ere they reached the city three months had elapsed since they said good bye to Virginia. From here they went to Marysville. Now, C alifornia was a free state and all people, no matter what color or race, were free there. No one thought of Bart realizing this. But the Grants had not been in the state more than two days when Bart said, 1 am going. This is a free state. Good bye. VI hen George landed in Marysville three months later he expected to see Bart. But no, he learned that Bart had gone. From Marysville, George went to the mines in Sierra and Nevada Counties, and three years later to Sacramento, where he entered the practice of law in association with Mr. Samuel Rosborough. In 1857, Mr. Rosborough was asked to go to Yreka to defend three men charged with murder. At that time. Mr. Rosbopough's brother was judge of the district of which X reka was a part, and because of that fact it was thought best that George should attend to the cases in order that Judge Rosborough might not be embar-assed by having his brother appear before him in cases of such importance. At this time, Yreka was the typical frontier town with no civic improvements; consequently the streets were dark, lighted only from the lights shining through the windows of the buildings. One evening as George walked along the street he was surprised and somewhat startled by a stealthy touch on his arm. Turning quickly he saw a man standing by him in the shadows. Will you please step around the corner. Mr. Hamilton? he said. Questioning in his own mind the wisdom of the course. George complied. Rounding the corner, the stranger stopped suddenly and said. Don't you know me. Mr. George? No, I don t believe I do. although your voice has a familiar sound. 6. or Well, it should, Mr. George. I'm Bart. Bart! Well, how do you happen to be here? What are you doing? An inarticulate mumble was his only reply. Why don't you answer me? What do you want anyway? Bart seemed to gain confidence, composure, and changed the subject by asking about the welfare of all the home folks, his former master, and the Grants. George, suspicious of Bart because of his broken promise upon his arrival in California, came back to the former question and with the old time authority in his voice demanded, Well, and what are you doing now? Again the uneasy, uncertain manner and response, but finally Bart said, Well, Mr. George, 1 guess you won’t squeal on me so I’ll tell you. Did you ever hear of ‘Black Bart’, the daring stage robber who is too smart for the officers? Well. Mr. George, I’m the man they want, but they’ll never get me, no sir. never! By heavens. I’ve a mind to turn you over to the authorities right now! Oh. no, you won't, and the cold steel of a pistol barrel was suddenly thrust against his side, for I’d kill you first— cold, hard and threatening this quick reply matched the pressure of the gun barrel and George knew that the man would never hesitate to carry out his threat. A compromise seemed best so he said I won’t give you away, but don’t come near me again. Now go! All right, Mr. George, I’ll go, but don’t you move an inch until 1 am out of sight. and Bart disappeared in the darkness. Prior to this time numerous holdups along the Oregon-C alifornia route had been accomplished by a lone highwayman, who so far had eluded the authorities. He would suddenly appear, accomplish his purpose, take his booty, and tauntingly cry out. Thanks from Black Bart, then disappear as suddenly as if the earth had swallowed him. After the Yreka episode the robberies still continued with the same mystifying lack of clue or evidence. But finally after a particularly big haul from the stage which stopped but a few miles from Marysville, one keen sighted passenger, who had been touched for a heavy donation, spied, lying by the roadside a white linen cuff, dirty and mud bespattered, but not soaked as though it had lain there long. It was eagerly pounced upon and upon examination a laundry mark was discovered. This proved a worthwhile clue, for after thorough search of the laundries of San Francisco this mark was identified to be that of one Bar-tholemew Carancho. a supposed swarthy Spaniard living in one of the best hotels of that city. His arrest followed and Black Bart was speedily lodged behind the bars of San Quentin. During the years of his confinement, stage holdups were unfrequent and no lone highwayman attempted to prove his prowess in this direction. But Black Bart’s term of sentence ended in time and with it, seemingly, the peace of the state and express companies. Black Bart was, of course, suspected, but if he were guilty his cunning had increased and no evidence against him could be gathered. The company, the civic authorities were baffled and finally in sheer desperation they decided upon a bold experiment. Accordingly Black Bart was given a dose of his own medicine and secretly shanghied and put on board of a boat bound for Siberia. Returning conscious- 64 ness found Bart confronted by a raging captain and surrounded by miles of heaving ocean. To accept his fate and work out his passage was his only choice. Landing in Siberia he was classed with the Russian convicts (according to secret orders given to the captain), and made to undergo the cruel and inhuman treatment of those half starved, half clad miserable wretches. The peace of unfrequent molestation returned to the stage company along the Oregon and California line. But Black Bart's mental cunning had not succumbed and one day he was among those missing from the convict ranks. He worked his way back to a sea port and shipped as a coal stoker on a vessel flying the stars and stripes. Long years of suffering and privation had at last done their work and a different Black Bart stepped ashore at San Francisco. He immediately appealed to George Hamilton for help and advice. His latter days were spent in the quiet life of another assumed name and neither the stage company nor the United States authorities ever suspected that he did not spend his last days working out a secretly imposed and hardly legal sentence.—Hortense Hough, '2 I Andy C.

The class has enjoyed the training immensely and the public has had an opportunity seveial times to judge of the quality of its work, in viewing the little plays put on at the High School. 1 he proceeds of these plays have been used for various purposes the chief of which has been the buying of the beautiful curtain for the assembly Stage. The Senior Class of ’20 left a neat sum to buy this curtain, but, it was not quite enough and the Dramatics Class made up the deficit by appearing before the pubic in the following plays: BACHELOR MAIDS CAST: Miss Taylor ....

GIRLS’ CHORUS The chorus class ably assisted in other entertainments and their two numbers rendered Commencement night were especially appreciated. 70 SENIOR GIRLS’ DOUBLE QUARTET One of the most popular organizations of the school was the Seniors’Double Quartet, which did some very fine work in the musical line. Under the leadership of Laura I homas Gunnell they showed marked musical ability and training in the several programs in which they appeared. They sang for the “Klimatic Kapers ”, the Woodman Lodge and the Ladies' Auxiliary. On class night they appeared as clever little pickaninnies singing several darky songs. Those composing the Quartet are: First Sopranos. Isabelle Rengstorff and Marie Kerley; Second Sopranos. Elsa Doerner and Myrtle Ford; First Altos, Maryl Muir and Velma Everton; Second Altos, Gudrun Anderson and Bertha Green; Flortense Hough, Pianist who filled the place as no one else could have done. ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mrs. Gunnell the Orchestra, this year, has added much to the school spirit. This organization has shown its high standard of rendition not only by the clever jazz which it gives, but by the quality and quantity of classical music which it has mastered. Besides appearing at all School programs, including Dramatics. Recitals. Debate, Class and Commencement, they were presented at such local entertainments as Lyceum Course numbers, Klimatic Kapers, and at the Ladies Auxiliary April Fool’s Party. The present membership is as follows; First Violins Don Barnes Robert Neilson Second Violins Hayden Tucker Susan Tolin Florence LeRoy Thelma Sheehan Tenor Saxophone Frederick Eismann Clarinets Allen Lacy Harold Isham Waldo Baker Cornets Kohath Grout Hubbard Day Soprano Saxophone Gardner Knapp Piano, Hortense Hough 71 ■� JUNIOR MALE QUARTET The Junior Male Quartet deserves special mention for the clever antics which they have “pulled off at various times. The members are: Keith Edgerton .... First Tenor Don Woodin .... Second Tenor Eugene Murphy .... First Bass Waldo Baker .... Second Bass LYCEUM COURSE Albert Lindquest, the tenor, and his assistant made up the first number of our Lyceum Course, which was given at the Opera House on the evening of December 8th. 1920. The second number of the Lyceum Course came the I 7th of March, with Herbert Leon Cope, the humorist, as the entertainer of the evening. The Rondolier program, on April 30, was a snappy peppy' entertainment. JANUARY CONCERT The first concert of the season was given in the High School auditorium in January by the chorus and dramatics class and proved an overwhelming success. The three one-act comedies, “Bachelor Maids , “When Love Is Young , The Picked Up Dinner : the Girls' Chorus and Senior Girls' Double Quartet, made up the program. MARCH CONCERT The dramatics class and girls’ chorus appeared in another concert on March 7, 1921, at the High School. This time the girls presented the well known and difficult Cantata, The Lady of Shalott , featuring Miss Marie Kerley, while the dramatics class furnished the two one-act plays. Our Aunt from California and A Proprosal Under Difficulties . ittti ENTERTAINMENTS Having heard Wm. Lee Greenleaf in a monologue, Midsummer Night's Dream , delivered before the assembly, the student body readily realized his ability for entertainment and drew up a contract for his appearance at the H. S. auditorium in December. The house was well filled, Mr. Greanleaf’s program for the evening consisting of the monologue, “Merchant of Venice . Miss Katherine Wellington, pianist, gave several delightful compositions. Mr. Greenleaf was so thoroughly enjoyed in December that he was called back in April to produce Rip Van Winkle , a monologue. JUNIOR ENTERTAINMENT In order to raise money to help finance the Toka. the Juniors favored the community with an entertainment at the High School building on February 23. The following numbers comprised the program of the evening: “Per Tele- phone” and “The Obstinate Family , one-act plays, the Junior Male Quartet, an old fashioned dance by the Sophomore girls, a violin solo by Robert Neilson, and a vocal solo by Anna Neilson. 72 The most thrilling entertainment ever staged at the High School was the BIG WHIZ BANG , given on April 23. 1921. Vaudeville acts, side shows, and booths of every description were shown to those who attended. The High School Orchestra and Girls’ Chorus added much to the merrymaking. The Moonshiner’s Den. Japanese Tea Garden, Hawaiian Sketch, fancy dancing numbers and the American Canteen were among the amusements most enjoyed. tfttt STUNTS FOOT BALL The 1920-21 football season began and with it the regular boosting for G. P. H. S. Because the students were so filled with the spirit of the game, they assembled on the campus around a large bon fire where they pledged their fidelity to the team and the school. Many stunts were pulled off among the classes and the spectators who witnessed these declared the students were not lacking in pep . JUNIORS It all occured one morning in October, when the J uniors met in the Art Room and with much ceremony attached streamers of the Green and Gold on every left shoulder. At the last tap of the bell, the line of Juniors proceeded to the assembly and serpentined around the room, after which they gathered on the platform and favored the audience with a class song and a pantomine. BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ STUNT To relieve the monotony of study in January, the girls donned bright-colored hair ribbons, and did away with paint, powder, rouge and rats for a WHOLE day. They all formed in single file at the west entrance and so on into the assembly where the wide-eyed boys and open-mouthed faculty viewed them. They noticed some better looking girls but some of them were strangers the rest of the day, having either no hair, or no complexion. The boys could not improve or destroy their unsurpassed looks as did the girls, so on the following morning the girls, together with an interested faculty, viewed a performance of the boys who were clad as villians and bearded as pirates and noblemen. SENIORS On the Friday afternoon preceding the Christmas vacation, for the enjoyment of the Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes. Madam Laura Thomas Gunnell presented her kindergarten class (impersonated by the Seniors) in a program of recitations and music. Knee-pants, ribbons, Peter-pans, rompers, etc., were much in evidence and forgetting for a time the many years of arduous brain work that bridged the interval between Alpha and Omega, these dignified 73 u Seniors recalled and demonstrated their first experiences in public appearance. At the close of the exercises. Santa Claus came forth and presented each student of G. P. H. S. with a Christmas gift after which greetings for the approaching holidays were exchanged. SOPHOMORES The members of the Senior. Junior, and Freshman classes were delightfully entertained by the Sophomores on Washington’s birthday. Many interesting incidents were brought to mind in regard to customs of olden times. Fair girls in old-fashioned dresses rendered old-fashioned songs; Scenes of the life at Valley Forge were dramatized and the reproduction of the making of the Star Spangled Banner proved most interesting. FROSH STUNT The students of G. P. H. S. were pleasantly surprised on April I. when the members of the Freshman Class entertained them. The Frosh assembled on the stage with dunce caps donned (which were very appropriate for the occasion) and prepared to render a song to their attentive audience. Miss Virginia Parsons gave the signal to start; one note was sounded and then the remainder of the school was surprised by the sudden removal of dpnce caps and the Freshman, and a loud shouting of April Fool .

SENIOR RECEPTION The first social event of the year was the reception given by the Seniors for the rest of the school. The first part of the evening was spent in filling out 'Getting Acquainted' cards, after which they were called to the assembly hall where they were entertained by two one act plays, A Case of Suspension and a pantomine which were produced by the Seniors. Later, punch and cookies were served in the lower hall. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY The annual reception given by the Juniors to the Seniors took place on January 22nd, at the W. O. W. Hall. Dancing and cards were enjoyed by all who attended. Later in the evening punch and wafers were served to the students and faculty. SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN PARTY On Hallowe’en, the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen with a party in the lower hall of the High School. Seasonable decorations of Jack-o’-lanterns, cornstalks, and autumn foliage were used. During the evening sideshows were enjoyed by the light of Jack-o’-lanterns. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts were served. 75 THE FRESHMAN PARTY On the evening of February 7th, the Freshman class assembled all the pep they had, and gave the Sophomores a real party . The party was given at the Woodman Hall, under the splendid supervision of our class adviser. The decorations, entertainment, and eats were all enjoyable. An orchestra provided the music for the dancers, while games were snapped off for the entertainment of those who did not care to dance. FOOTBALL DINNER On the evening of December third, the mothers of the football team entertained their sons at a most sumptuous dinner in the Methodist Church parlors. The boys were much delighted by the delicious chicken pie served them, and all declared it worth the hard work of the season for the enjoyment of this one feed . The decorations were exceptionally appropriate. Streamers of blue and white, high school colors, were hung from an immense football suspended over the center of the table. In the center a miniature football field was arranged on which tiny players were placed for the kick off.' Each one found his position on the field or side lines and followed a blue and white ribbon to his place at the table. Besides the twenty two members of the squad, their manager Charles Hal-lowell, coach Howard Bearss, Mr. Imel, Mr. Gaston and Dr. Billick were present. GIRLS' BASKETBALL FEED The Basketball season this year closed with a very delightful and pleasing luncheon served in the lower hall of the High School following the Roseburg game, March 4th. The guests of the evening, the Basketball girls of Roseburg, the Grants Pass Football boys. Mrs. Parent, Miss Dahlberg, Miss Lindsay, Mr. Imel as toastmaster, Mr. Gaston, and the Grants Pass Basketball girls, were seated about the table arranged in a triangular form decorated with daffodils and candle sticks to carry out the Roseburg colors. A novel feature of the decorations was the place cards of basketballs and footballs. VALENTINE TEA An attractive Valentine Tea was given in honor of the Sub-Freshmen girls by the members of the D. N. B. A. Society to promote sociability among the girls of the High School. Mrs. Parent and Mrs. Gunnell, the Honorary Members of this Society, poured and the tea and delicious heart-shaped cookies were served by the charter members of the Society. A. H. N. C. PARTY One of the patriotic fetes of the school year was the Washington party given the members of the D. N. B. A. and faculty by the A. H. N. C. Society at the Guild Hall. 76 The hall was homified' by the addition of rugs, chairs, and small tables, and decorated most artistically with red, white, and blue. The guests assembled about 8 p. m. and were kept mirthful with new and entertaining games. While fortunes were being told, the tables were spread, and a much enjoyable repast was served, followed by dancing. M. M. C. T. P. A. DANCE Another delightful party of the year was the one given by an organization of boys, the M. M. C. T. P. A’s. 1 his party was given in January at the Rogue River Grange Hall. About twenty couples spent the evening dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Borland and Dr. and Mrs. Stearns acting as patrons and patronesses. D. N. B. A’s. ENTERTAIN On February fourth, a most charming informal affair was given by the D. N. B. A s. at the home of Gretchen Clemens, one of the members. The evening was spent in dancing and was made doubly enjoyable by the several clever favor dances. Punch was served throughout the evening. mmVs ■had a 41 Jack M.

However, he went to work with a spirit that would bring credit to any coach. The interclass games started with real school fight and enthusiasm. These games, though for practice, and manifestation of school spirit, showed the team coming along fine and developing the old fight. The first real game of the season was played October 16th. on our home field, with Medford. Though not an evenly matched game because of heavier and more experienced Medford men, it was a clean fought game. Score 6 to 0. On October 23rd, the Grants Pass team met Ashland High on the Ashland field. The men fought like demons, but the heavier Ashland team proved too much for them. In the next week, the G. P. team again knuckled down to long and hard practice, and were in fine condition on October 30th, to secure vengeance for their former defeat from Medford High, when word was received that M. H. S. had been suspended from the State Athletic Association. 1 he game was necessarily cancelled. It was not long before the news came that Albany High would challenge Grants Pass High to a game to be played at Albany. 79 1 TO thf th( FOOTBALL SQUAD The team realized that this would be the big game of the season and they immediately resumed practice and training. On the morning of November 25, the team left for Albany with a good bye and good luck greetings from the whole High School. It was raining and cold the next morning when the G. P. eleven left dressing room and went out to the field. It proved to be nothing but mud. The shrill blast of a whistle was heard and the two teams lined up for kick off. Grants Pass received. After a few minutes of playing G. P. managed to get away with an end around end play scoring a touchdown. Steve carried the ball, over the lines. The first quarter ended with a score 6 to 0 in G. P's favor. In the second quarter Albany began a series of line bucks and gained a touchdown, also kicking the goal. The rest of the second quarter was a hard fight for both sides each recovering, gaining and losing yardage. The whistle sounded again, which left the end of the first half with the score standing 6 to 7 in Albany’s favor. In the second half Albany proved to have a little the go on our men and with their heavy backfield put the score up to 2 I to 6 by the end of the game. Besides the men playing on the regular team, two subs.

Forwards Dorthea Egger. Giggles M. Dean ..... Centers Evelyn Anderson. Vera Robinson ..... Guards Ethel Hagan ....Sub Our basketball season opened this year with lots of ’pep and enthusiasm, and things looked bright for a championship team. Our first real game was played at Ashland January 14, but owing to the difference in the courts the game ended in Ashland s favor 27 to 18. The next game we played was at Roseburg January 29. This was one of the fastest of the season. Score 22 to 19. The last game of the season was played with Roseburg on our own floor. The girls were almost equally matched, and the G. P. team fought with a determination that usually wins, but we had our usual luck and lost the game with the score I 6 to 11. Only one of the members of the team has had any previous experience so we had to make a team out of new material. We hope that we will have a bet-ter place to practice next year and that every member will return to fight and work so that we will end the season with a few more points in our favor. 82 A Psalm of Geometry. Miss Cowan is my teacher, I shall not pass She leadeth me to expose my ignorance before the class She maketh me draw figures on the board for my grade’s sake. Yea tho’ 1 study until midnight. I shall gain no geometry For propositions and axioms bother me. She prepareth puzzles before me in the presence of mine enemies. She giveth me a low mark, my work runneth under. Surely zeros and conditions will follow me all the days of my life And I shall dwell in the class of geometry forever. (Dedicated to Gardner Knapp) n w u Before Exams. The Lord of Hosts be with us yet. Lest we forget—lest we forget. After Exams. The Lord of Hosts was with us not. For we forgot—for we forgot. 3 Allan Lacy—I don't think that 1 should get zero on this paper.

For with all the marks of D's and P's They’ve more than they can endure. They are blamed for this. They are blamed for that; If question a single one they miss It's after school for that. Oh, the fate of the Juniors is hard. It's worse than the Sophs, no doubt. Their poems and essays with red lines marred And blame and despair all about. Nothing but blame from Miss Yanke, Miss Parret does nothing but knock. In geometry Miss Cowan would have our blood What can you expect from Prof? H4 QUOTATION FROM HAM—LET I o study or not to study—that is the question Whether 'tis better for us to study 1 o spend weary hours in toiling o’er our lessons Or let them go. And get them in class as best we can’t. For what's the use? We study, and we get our cards Our grades look very strange, and we Receive a thousand shocks we never dreamed of. Our deportment—how can it be? Is in the seventies. And yet we were so good. We never whispered, wrote notes, or performed Strange antics behind our teachers’ backs Ay, there’s the rub We might have done it. Why not— Where we have received full credit for it. Why do we bear these ignominous charges When we are all innocent. We know not why Tis the unwritten law in our teachers' books. That we do not receive one hundred. Therefore our grades suffer, and we Poor innocents—we suffer too. We say we do not mind but still we study For we dread that something at the end of the term Those awful nightmares, they haunt us now— The finals they puzzle us. But we would rather take our monthly tests And try for good grades, than take those finals. Thus finals doth make cowards of us all. And little wonder for they are loathsome things A pestilence to be dreaded, and so We study, and work for good grades, Altho’ we hate to do it. But a little work now is better Than those dreaded finals. « w « Miss McIntyre—What are you laughing at—me? Student—No. ma’am.

Walk heavily, for if you do not, no one will know that you have entered. If you wish to speak to some one snap your fingers. What ever you do, don't throw your waste paper in the basket; tear it up in small pieces and cast it on the floor. The principal object of this is to keep the basket neat. Always make as much noise as possible, it breaks the monotony and enables one to study better. By all means congregate in the halls between classes, as that makes variety, which is the essence of life. n n � The cows are in the meadows The sheep are in the grass; But all the little simple geese Are in the Freshman Class. • « « Miss McIntyre—Amelia, you may prove that Boyles law is true.

You look back upon sixteen years in grade and high school. Only four more years, seriously spent at the University of Oregon, will open the doors of many opportunities now closed to you.

The University of Oregon includes the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, and the Schools of Architecture, Commerce, Education, Journalism, Medicine, Music and Physical Education. Tuition is free and expenses low. Two-thirds of the students of the University of Oregon are wholly or partly self-supporting.
