Our main purpose has been to attract attention to Grass Valley and its vicinity. Feeling that the Nevada Irrigation District project is the most outstanding issue at present we have endeavored to give it due prominence. Our illustrations feature sketches of the beautiful lakes and large dams for irrigation purposes now in construction in the northern part of the county. Intermingled with these are also sketches of well-known buildings of the town and of scenes in the gardens at the Empire Mine. We believe, there- fore, that the book will be instructive as well as entertaining. In conclusion we wish to thank the people of this community for their great interest and patronage throughout the year. We feel that we owe them a great debt, and in the compiling of this book our efforts have been directed toward making it worthy of their consideration. 7 FACULTY Mabel Lincoln Edwards VV.

KRAMM. nj.-6 A hi y LASS HlsToRY One of the greatest events in the lives of the Class of 1927 has just passed, an event upon which they will be able to look back for years to come. This event has signified four years of work and play in order to become better citizens. Let's go back four years for a few minutes. One bright morning in August, 1923, the now famous Class of '27 entered the portals of the high school as freshmen. Although frightenedand timid, they soon were organized into a freshman class and chose officers as follows: Fern Trezise, president, Virgil Mickelson, vice president, Verna VVeldon, secretary, Milton Curnow, treasurer. These officers guided the class through a successful year both financially and socially. A year later the same group of students returned. The follow- ing class officers were chosen: Harold McGagin, president, Martin Beebee, vice president, Katherine Fiori, secretaryg Verna W'eldon, treasurer. This year was a great success, the members of the class being well repre- sented on the Stray Leaves Staff, in the Scholarship Society, in dramatics, and in various other class and school activities. The Junior year was also a success. The officers for this year were Burton Skewes, president, Norma Hussey, vice president, Martin Beebee, secretaryg Una VVilloughby, treasurer. The Juniors had several leading parts in the Student Body play, Clarence Many of the first string men onthe football squad were Juniors. Both basketball teams were composed largely of Juniors. In the inter-class games the Juniors took the cham- pionship. The Iuniors gave two dances, both of which were successes. The Junior-Senior picnic was one of the social events of the year. The Class of '27 made the Senior year the greatest, one long to be remembered. Carl Carter was elected presidentg Myrtle Kent, vice pres- identg Alice James, secretaryg Alfred Kramm, treasurer. Carl Carter resigned as president after filling three-fourths of his term admirably. Douglas Conway was elected president and guided the class through the remainder of the term. The class suffered a great loss during the year in the death of Wallace Frederick O'Brien, who passed away November 17, 1926. Wallace was prominent in class and school affairs and all were sorely grieved by his death. The meetings in the Senior year were carried on with great success, every one showing an interest. Many hot and spirited meetings were held. The Senior class gave one of the best luncheons of the year. The class play, The Goose Hangs High, was a great success, drawing a packed house which helped out the treasury immensely. The members of the cast deserved credit for the manner in which they played their parts. Mr. Millar, the prin- cipal, and Miss Dyke, class adviser, helped the class along to a great extent. Activities finally came to an end when june 10 came around and the grad- uating Seniors marched up and received their well earned diplomas. Alfred Kramm, having the most units, was valedictorian, and Leslie Weeks, ranking next, was salutorian. ' The Class of '27 were sorry to leave the old high school, with its good times and hard times. However, its memories will live with them for years to come and they will always be glad to look back upon the days they spent in dear old Grass Valley High. . Martin Beebee. 10 Class of 1927 DOUGLAS CONVVAY Doug has been prominent in many a playg Four times on the Scholarship, the records say. On both monthly and annual he's had a placeg As Senior class president he's set a pace. ELISE JAMES You now see Elise, so bashful and shy, None the less, when on teams, she's sent the score high, Five times on the Scholarship roll she l1as been, And minutes recorded of Senior Classmen. ALFRED KRAMM VALEDICTORIAN As Senior class treasurer, Alfred's brought the money ing He's made the Scholarship sixteen times and earned his seal and pin. The Seniors, when they gave their play, made him property man, And working for the Stray Leaves he's done just all he can. 11 Class of 1927 CLAIRE ADA MS Claire's been in plays and athletic teams, Eight times on the Scholarship roll, it seems urer, also, And as a Stray Leaves worker did her part as all know. MATT ARGALL This is Matt, so swift of limb, Athletic form he's kept in trim, And well he might, for it is he lVh0's brought many honors to G. V. MARTIN BEEBEE Now we have Beebs, of the dimpled chin- He's done good work in sports and the plays he's been in. VVhen he was a Junior, class minutes he took, XVas Sophomore vice-president-had a part in this book. 12 1 Took the Student Body minutesg was treas- I Class of 1927 MARCELLUS BIEBER And here is Marcellus, so bashful and shy, For the life of us, now, we can't understand why: But in the building of radios he's not any slouch, Nor in delivering milk, as his customers vouch. HELENE BING Hcre's the Scholarship president, fair Heleneg As an athlete, also, she's been a queeng Treasurer, too, of the Junior classg On Stray Leaves or in dramatics sl1e'll like- 4 wise more than pass. CARLTON CARTER VVe next introduce Captain Elsinora of basket- ball fameg In dramatics, also, he's made a name. On monthly Stray Leaves and this Annual book You'll find him sports editor, if you should look. '13 Class of 1927 RAYMOND CROTHERS - Here's the Annual manager-in-chief, busy Ray, He's done well in athletics and in many a playg Been treasurer of the Letter Club Know non- existentj, . Q And four times on the Scholarship-in studies persistent. MILTON HARRIS Milt comes next, so solemn and tall, He went over the hurdles ahead of them all. Through his fleetness he's shown in many a meetg In dodging the girls 1he's been even more fleet. ALICE I-IENVV OOD Here we have Alice, self-termed Stubborn, I think, But we'll overlook that with a sly little wink. Though Stubborn she is, she has not often shirked, For in sports and in typing for Stray Leaves she's worked. 14 Class of 1927 REVA JOHNSON If you are in need of a friend, just shout- Along will come Reva by the shortest routeg To one and all she lends a smile- We'll remember Reva a long, long' while. LEONARD LARSEN Leonard Larsen's been free from care, But for looks! He's the answer to a maiden's prayer. VVe also might mention he delivers meat. All the while keeping exceedingly neat. HARRIET LOB ECKER Little's done all that she could do As editor of monthly, and annual, toog Girls' Association secretaryg on the Scholar- ship her name, On the roll of sports and dramatics you'll find it just the same. 15 0 Class of 1927 HAROLD MCGAGIN Shaky was president of his class in '25. Two years he led yells so well -the dead 'most came alive. In dramatics and athletics he showed what he could dog VVas president of the Lettermen, and once the Scholarship, too. BENITA NOBS The Campfire Girls' first president is Benite's distinguished claimg She was treasurer of the Girls' Association and held it without blameg On monthly and on annual Benite has passed the test- Her graduation in three years proved ,her Scholarship the best. BEATRICE OSBORNE Beatie Osborne is rather plump, When playing ball she makes fielders jumpg And if in your office you give her a place You'll notice how often the typewriters race. 16 Class of 1927 ADELINE PARDINI Brilliant Adeline we have here-star of the debating' society, Presiding over it wisely and well and with all due propriety. In sports she's worked hard. with might and main, And on Scholarship roll she's been time and again. JOSEPHINE PEN NA Penny comes next-athletically inclined, If you glance at the records of four years, you'll find. She's made every team from the first to the last, From baseball to basketball she's been accur- ate and fast. BERTHA RAVN And this is Bertha, so big and so tall, Though I've diligently looked, she's no nick- name at all. XVhen she was a Freshman in the Glee Club she sang, And athletic laurels on her we might hang. 17 N Class of 1927 GRACE SULLIVAN Grace is the girl with the curling hair And dimples to grace her face so fair. On the volley-ball team she played above parg She possesses a typing pin shaped like a star. FERN TREZISE And this is our Fern, with so many positionsg She's excelled in dramaticsg helped with Stray Leaves editionsg President of her class in '263 of the Student Body in '27g Treasurer of the same in '26: an athlete on teams eleven. LESLIE VVEEKS SALUTATORIAN Scholarship for Service is Leslie's middle nameg He was a member twelve times and vice presi- dent of fameg As an athlete or an actor he's surpassed by very few: He was once assistant on the monthly, but I guess you know that, too. 18 ' ' r lj at X . - fl as-qgx s 5-f,1:,42Qmg,i .f , k.:. .,TH': V 'P g i-1.2135 Q U, k X ,',:'g,qi',1- r T . .- s 1-1153-. -'Q- f f ' 3-l1!1i4'f ffl ' ' GF if-'L' ifigfrrt, Iii , ' ,p I, 3 H -I V --------- -:--- -- -- '- , 14.1.--1 . , 'f Yl ffl I I .

He was calm, quiet and sedate, And said l1e'd tell my future fate. His house did smell of ginger and spice, And string fiddles tweaked once or twice. I caught poly-glot babble now and then, But everything was neat in the home of He had verandas, sun-blinds, flowers and chairs, Teak-wood tables and pillows of hair. Near by as Punch, the Chinese book, Untattered and torn, yet with foreign look. Above me I saw a phrase old but true, And once again, I read it through. Simply, it meant, as in Pekin, Chen. Happiness, the reward of virtue: miserv, the reward of sin Now, wise old Chen turned 'round and 'round, Then kot-owed solemnly to the ground, Next he placed in water, green as the sea, The silver leaves from the shen-yin tree: Now, your fortune true I'll tell. He looked at the leaves, then rang a bell. Instantly incense filled the air, And the gold leaves floated, pair by pair. You, a dancer great shall be, Travel far on many a sea. But, boy, friends of yours I behold, See them hid 'neath leaves of gold? I looked, and sure as fate, There stood Carlton, by a gate. He, our daring football star, Coach of players, is famed afar. Now a country scene, resembling You Bet, Here Josephine is a farmerette. Chen's scene changed to a clear Spring day, Wfith hotel and owner, I found, to be Ray. Me know alle well, True my fortune alway tell, Me know your friends, alle same. VVant me to telle, name for name? I smiled and smiled and then I thought, Surely his brain is quite o'er wrought. But when he pointed to another leaf, My thoughts did tumble to unknown grief. See, him show so big and great? 19 I Friend Benita, here does paint, Scene for scene upon him wall, Summer, Spring, maybe Fall. See, there's Harriet, full of laughter and play The Daily Sun, she prints by day. And here is Alice of Chico High. Deftly marriage, she passes by. I saw.C1are's happy, smiling face. Leading school children to their place. And Matt! Busy, hard at work, For in a drug store Matt's a clerk. Chen, I said, you surely can tell, Fortunes true and all so well. Ah! Keepee quiet. Muchee more you see, If no stoppee Chen. He telle thee. Then Adeline I saw, as a doctor of fame. Putting all other doctors badly to shame. VVhile'Grace, modest and shy. As dancing instructor, passes others by. But Helene does not share daily strife, For she, I find, is a farmer's wife. And at L. A.. in an office there, I find stenographer Elise. without compare. Chen smiled, showing wrinkles brown. I watched the leaves drift 'round and 'round. Unexpectedly I saw Fern. an actress great, Her name is known in village and state. Next I saw Leonard in stylish clothes, VVithin his buttonhole a rose. He sets the very latest fad, For on billboards. Len's a collar ad. VVhile on a dairy farm 'neath clear blue skies. In an aeroplane, milk, Marcellus flies. Chen then showed me Alfred now. As a Senator Alfred shows them how. Looking at another leaf I learned, That Harold, a lawyership has earned. That Leslie to Vifashington was sent. To fill a job for the government. The leaves, again, drifted by, I smiled sweetly, heaved a sigh, Then saw Martin at a plow, A farm adviser, Mart' is now. Oh! See Beatrice, I slowly said. To this Chen wisely wagged his head, She's a stenographer, on Business Street. Helping Harriet publish her newsy sheet. Then Reva's smiling face I did see, She owns a store, the Bon Marche. VVith Bertha as a clerk, Business, they seldom shirk. Now, Chen said. I show last of all, In a store so big and tall, See, him boy such busy talker, It's 'Miltf the floor walker. I asked, I repeated. I want to know, If things could really happen so. 20 My answer this. Fortune telling him all through. Yes, five dolly him will do. The fiddles tweaked once again, Then all was quiet in the home of Chen. Unexpectedly I heard a gong, Then the voice of little VVong. Softly, sweetly, she sang again, The goodbye, good luck song of Chen, Me no cly, me only say, 'Tow-see Mon-ga-lay.'

During the first few days they entered the high school very reluctantly, for they feared the lofty upper classmen and their plans, but, having been unharmed at the annual initiation, they quickly forgot their fears and became interested in many high school affairs. The officers who helped to make their Freshman year success- ful were Ben Bivens, president, Beatrice Bone, vice presidentg Marjorie Bennetts, secretary, Elmer Hawkins, treasurer, Glen lVeldon, sergeant-at- arms, and Miss Burroughs, class adviser. Their dance and luncheon were very successful. The treasury was enlarged by both events, and the dance was enjoyed by the many students who attended. In August, 1926, the same group of students arrived at the high school, but not in the timid manner of just a year before. Several former members had left the ranks, but several new members joined the group, so that the loss was not so keenly felt, In the first meeting for the year the following were elected as officers of the Sophomore Class: Beatrice Bone, president, Lois Berriman, vice pres- identg Lucille Crase, secretaryg Marjorie Bennetts. treasurer, Roger Kitto. sergeant-at-arms, Miss Silva. class adviser. . On December 3, 1926, the class gave their luncheon. and on February ll, 1927. they acted as hosts at a dance to the members of the Student Body and visiting basketball players. Both events proved socially and financially suc- cessful. Many basketball players of the class made an excellent name for themselves and their class. The Sophomores proudly claim one member of the A team and several members of the B and C teams. Also, they proudly claim several of the actors who helped to make the Student Body play successful. - During their Freshman year the Class of 1929 placed their aims on the highest clouds in the heavens, and if their last two years are as successful as the first they will all reach graduation with honors in June, l929. But when we gain the title Seniors, At the parting of the ways, VVe will ne'er forget the pleasures Of our happy high school days. Katherine Hawkins. 26 K0 N! SOPHOMORE CLASS .

They felt that they were going to make their way through High School as successfully as any other class had ever done. The first great event of the season was the initiation. The poor Fresh- men were afraid to go to this because they thought they would never come out of the gymnasium again, but hearing Mr. Millar say that nothing unusual would happen, they changed their minds and were initiated without the dread- ful events that were promised them. After this, they were ready to be regular high school students. Soon after the initiation the first class meeting was held.

The Adventures of a eeee' Stream A I started from a cold spring away PUBLJC4 LIBRARY up in the lofty Sierras. I believe I N -wx X- . L heard some one say that I originated gi-: Q I at the Gold Mountain spring, near ? E Gold Lake, so you see my birthplace 5 ig is in Plumas County. 7 3 My youth was very happy. playing I I+ among the rocks. tumbling, jumping, H and playing hide-and-go-seek with the I fishes and grasses. All this time I was B growing stronger and stronger, for 5 9' E 5 from each spring or snowbank that I E I gl passed. I gathered more strength. E I I Qi Like all other streams, I just could E I L Q Y T I not stay at home and play forever. I il ' - C ,lj 5 iiffdl yearned to do things, great things for ' -l the unconquerable world. So with Li.. these my constant thoughts, I bade sheltering grasses and ni o u n t a in s good-bye and kissed each fish and frog as I passed down the great mountain sides, through valleys andmgrassy meadows, to my destiny. I met many strange objects as I traveled, I crossed under bridges, heard automobiles. Such strange things they are with their puffing and running. One almost ran into me. It would have, if I hadn't been frightened and jumped away from its crushing wheels. This exercise was making me grow and I became really quite grown up and able to care for myself. One day in early afternoon I was drifting along with my eyes half closed. listening to the birds sing, when I ran plump into a great big person almost like myself. I was so terribly frightened and afraid. I asked him who he was. In a great thundering voice he said he was Bowman Dam, and informed me that I was his captive. At this I became more frightened and I'm sure he could see me shaking. I wished I'd never left home. BOVVI'11311,S Dam had a castle of great magnitude inclosed in a wall, which wasto keep us, his captives,-and I met a lot of other poor little streams like myself who were kept from leaving without his consent. He promised if we were good he might in time let us out to water the fields of Nevada County. The fishes here were too large to play with. They made me feel little and insignificant. Even the turtles were cross and unplayful. Thus I became cramped and lazy, not being able to move about and exercise freely. I tried to stay close to the wall, but was often pushed away by some greedy stream in the hope of securing freedom. I just behaved beautifully and did everything I was commanded to do and became quite a trusted captive. But one dark night I slipped around to the gate and with great effort climbed over it. I jumped and, oh! I did think I'd never reach the earth. I landed in a great heap and I was sure for a minute I had broken my bones to pieces. But after lying still for awhile I gathered myself together and ran away from Bowmaifs Dam. I'm positive I was never missed, as there were so many other captives. The next day I found I had run into an irrigation ditch and was on my way to see Nevada County. From what little I gathered on the way through the villages I was most interested in all I was to see and in what I might do for the world. Wfith my destiny on its way and fate being so kind I am sure I will accomplish great things for some farmer in the county, Reva johnson, '27. 30 The Last Blast A True Story of the Discovery of the Empire Mine. About seventy years ago, several years after gold had been discovered in California, a man by the name of Kenneth came to California to make his fortune. Much to his disappointment, however, he found that practically all the loose gold in California had been taken, and that now the involved process of gold mining was the necessitated possibility. As I have said, Kenneth was disappointed. Nevertheless, he wandered around the district where Grass Valley is now located, in the hope that maybe he could find one of those fabulously rich pockets that he had so often heard about. He was disappointed, inasmuch as he had not realized his dreams. In the course of his wanderings, however, he discovered a vein of quartz. As a last resort, Kenneth decided that here his fortune hung, that here he would find gold, or he would die in the attempt! VVith this determinationhe spent his few remaining dollars in supplies- food, clothing, tools and dynamite-and started to work following up his quartz vein. He worked steadily for six months, At the end of this time his clothing needed renewing, his food wasnearly gone, his dynamite had run so low that only one more blasting could ,possibly be made, and still he had not found one gratifying speck of gold. W . What's the use? groaned Kenneth discouraged, I'm a ruined man. VVith that he prepared the last charge of dynamite. I-Ie lit the' fuse and sat dejected by, watching it burn. In five minutes all was over. The next day transient miners came upon Kennetlfs mine. A little investi- gation disclosed the tragedy which was not ,an uncommon one for disappointed gold seekers, but what interested the miners most was the rich gold ore that lay scattered around, the result of that last blast. From this beginning sprang one of the richest gold mines in all California. But, oh, how little can man fathom what is beneath the next shovelful-- what the next blast will disclose! Alfred Kramm, '27. Just Yellow Yellow. Yes, he was, and the disgrace of the whole Forty-fourth regi- ment, which was located in the heart of the Sahara, doing its best to protect the trading caravans from the ruthless treatment and raidings of the desert tribes. Lloyd Hammel was charged with murder in France. He had run away from justice to Africa, where he had been taken in by the captain of the 4-4R. France. It was hard for him. I-Ie was in constant danger of being detected as a wanted man and he was of a nervous disposition. One day his name wascalled for fighting the lines outside the fortress which was to be attacked in a few days. Instead of stepping out one pace and saying, Here, sir, he just fainted in the line. He was carried off by some soldier while the captain cursed violently under his breath. Since that day he had been termed yellow, Buteout in that great sand plain a streak of yellow can soon turn white. In about two months' time he had so many charges against him that he was thrown into a prison to be shot at 12 :3O the next day, In the meantime the captain had word that he and his regiment were needed at a place four 31 miles away. in a little town the Arabs had frequently been raiding. They left the next morning. taking all the firearms except one machine gun and two belts of ammunition. Lloyd heard them go. He swore at them till the air turned blue. The guard soon fell asleep outside the prison door and soon Lloyd was busy trying to find out how he could escape. First, he tried the door. It was securely locked and would not move. Next, he went to the window. a wide opening barred by six steel bars of some thickness. Wfhile standing there he noticed that some of the bricks were loose. A sudden thrill went through him. He could escape and be free. He soon had three bars loose. so that he could crawl through. Below him was a thirty foot drop. He scanned the wall eagerly to find some way to get down. The only thing he could see was a flagpole from which flew .the French flag. A desperate idea came to him. He could jump to the flagpole and then slide to the ground. He paused for one moment and then with a mighty spring caught hold of the pole. and in doing so he tore the flag almost in half. He soon reached the ground only to be startled by a rapid fire of rifles. He listened for a minute and then realized what had happened. The regi- ment must have been trapped on its return from the city. They were cornered in a small valley and would soon be annihilated by the rapid Ere of the Arabs. He must save them at all cost, but how? His eyes rested on the machine gun. He quickly mounted it and set it in working condition. He could see the ambush about fifteen hundred yards from the fortress. He trained the gun and turned the crank, a rapid fire issued and the Arabs soon fled. Lloyd was saved. It was 12:29 and he was still living when, ping! a bullet hit him in the head. He fell across the gun dead. The sentence was fulfilled by an Arab run- ning away from the fire of the regiment, which had now been freed and had broken through the Arabian lines. The regiment soon returned to the fort to see who had saved them from the destruction of the Arabs. A little later the remains of Lloyd Hammel were enclosed in a magnifi- cent coffnn draped in the French tricolor. The captain observed the'tear in the Hag and admitting a curse said, Fd like to lay my hands on the devil who tore that flag. The corpse seemed to move, or it may have been the wind blowing through the folds of the standard of France. Henry Goudge. '30. Dawn A streak of gray in the dull blue sky A cloud that is split as it passes by. A rosy tinge, then a yellow light, A fireball of glory bursts on the sight. A haze o'erspreading the vast extent Of purple trees in the dawn wind bent. The light suffusing the freshened earth, And another day is given birth. - A ' Helen Lobecker, '2S. 32 Smiling Jean Jean smiled. Jean always smiled-she had learned with wisdom beyond that of her twelve years that it paid to smile. One didn't feel nearly so bad. Jean had bravely smiled when her mother had been laid to rest the year before and she had been forced to quit school to keep house for her father and small brother. As she sat in the cheap rocker in the cheap, dark room on this night and held her small charge in her lap she said softly, VVe do miss her some- thing dreadful. Don't we, Sonny Boy? But it was all right. Just think of her up there in heaven among the angels. She never was meant to- There's Dad now! He's terribly late. A large, brawny figure in overalls and blue shirt entered the room and sank wearily into a chair. Mr. Culbert did not respond to Iean's kiss this night. What is it, Dad? she asked anxiously. Tired? Her father looked at her tenderly and then said, Jeanie, I've been dis- charged,-fired. Dad! the room was completely silent. for even Sonny looking up wide- eyed from his position on the floor seemed to realize the seriousness of the announcement. Suddenly Jean smiled, Never mind, Daddy dear, with her thin, bony arms around his great neck, Perhaps you can find another place. But Mr. Culbert was not to be consoled, and as Jean ran to get his slip- pers, and set a hot supper before him, he exclaimed, They ain't fair! They said Joe Sorrell and I took the machine part. I'll get even with 'em! The last was with such wrath that 'lean set down the steaming dish of potatoes that she had stopped with halfway between stove and table, and hurried over to her father. Dad, promise me you won't do anything-. Of course not, Babe. Go on to bed. I want to think. And Joe with all those kids, he muttered as Jean, with a worried expres- sion in her dark eyes, dutifully made ready for bed. i Jean sat up suddenly in her hard little bed, which she shared with Sonny. It was dark and chilly. She had been dreaming. Her Daddy-! Silently she crept into the living room. The couch cover of her father's bed was smooth under her searching hand-the bed had not been slept in. She dressed swiftly and drawing her thin coat about her slid into the dark, silent street. She ran the two blocks to the factory where her father had worked, and as she stood breathless in one of the huge doorways, she saw a glow from inside. Then her dream was true and she was too late! She hurried in, calling, Daddy! Daddy! in a terror-stricken voice. From the upper part of the building, which was fast becoming a roaring furnace, a part of a boiler came hurling through the air. Mr. Culbert came rushing around the machinery in answer to the call and saw his daughter lying under the heavy debris. Swiftly he used great strength to remove it and then picking up the slight, crushed form of Jean he rushed into the street through the fast gathering crowd. As the trembling form of Mr. Culbert sat with the crushed form of his little daughter in his arms in the bleak, dark room she whispered, Dad, you didn't do it. Tell me you didn't ! No! No! he assured her, but, Jeanie, do you hurt much? No, Daddy, dear, I'm so glad. Daddy! I see Mother. She is beckoning. Dad, I must go. I'm so glad-Mother! She smiled and died. The morning came grayed and dreary. Culbert muttered as he stared at the morning paper. No, Joe didn't tell. He took the blame himself. A month later found Mr. Culbert once more busy at a job, working to' support the large family of Joe Sorrell, with whom he boarded Sonny Boy. Joe was spending a year in prison for setting fire to the factory against -the owners of which he had a grudge. As Culbert worked. he saw his Ieanie's smile, and it helped him.

The hills neighboring the school are covered with green. stately pines. How barren the hills would be if these were destroyed. Grass Valley would lose its charm, and if these trees are not pro- tected this will surely happen. Many times you have looked out of the assembly window at the football Held and sometimes you have looked still farther to the convent or farther yet, to where the horizon meets the sky. In most high schools, when you gaze aimlessly out of an assembly window you see a horizon line formed by houses or large buildings, but not in Grass Valley. The horizon line is irregu- lar, formed by the tops of hundreds of trees. lVait, this is boasting! If you look a little closer and farther down this line, the color changes from a pretty, dark green to a dry, dull brown. These trees have been burned by someone's carelessness. Trees, which have labored and toiled for years to become big and noble, have in only a few hours' time been destroyed. Many times when you have been out walking or riding you have noticed dead trees growing among the live trees. Perhaps you have wondered how these trees died. The largest percentage of these dead trees is caused by Pine Blister, which affects white pine trees, gooseberries, and currants. This disease is said to have been brought over from Europe on white pine trees. It spreads in an odd manner. The spores formed on the white pine tree will not infect other white pines, but they do affect gooseberries and currants. The spores formed on the gooseberries and currants will only infect the white pines. Is it too late to save our pines? The future will decide and the future lies in us. The United States government has appropriated large sums of money for the prevention of Pine Blister and Fire. The United States alone cannot withstand these menaces without our support. Money will do little good. Let us do our part. Save the pines from Pine Blister! Save the pines from Fire! 34 Drama Hear ye! Hear ye all! Have you attend- ed the plays given by the G. V. H. S. this year? If you have, you know how good they have been. If you have not. we are going to tell you all about them right here and now. The first plays given this year were given by the Junior and Senior classes on Thanks- giving Eve. The Senior class presented W'here But in America, with Fern Trezise as Mrs, Espenhame: Ray Crothers as Mr. Espenhame: and Helene Bing as Hilda. the Swedish Maid. The Junior class presented F i n d e r s Keepers. with Nadine Bennetts as Mrs. Aldridg Evan Ferguson as Mr. Aldridg Janet Sampson as Mrs. Hampton. Besides the plays there was novel vaude- ville, which provided against dull moments. The next play, The Silver Thread, was given by the Student Body at the Strand. Beside the evening's performance on February 25 the cast gave a matinee on February 26. Both performances were verv well attended and the cast were very much complimented on their excellent'entertainment.

Officers elected were: president, Adeline Pardinig vice president, Elmer Craseg secretary-treasurer. Agnes Bierwageng sergeant-at-arms, John Hennessy, librarian, Benton VVil- coxen. Helene Bing. Autumn in the Foothills A breath of fruit fermenting, tingling frostiness in air, Harvest fields awaiting approach of garnerer Rabbits scuttling through the brush, deer upon the run, Schoolboys planning gayly for winter sports to come. Everyone seems happy, everyone seems glad. 'Toyous is the hunter as a ten-year lad. VVhile even staid old scholars breathe the sparkling air And think this old world better than ancient book or rare. Harriet Lobecker, '27. 41 Sports Grass Valley High School was represented by its various athletic squads in an exceptional manner during the past season of '26 and '27. All the squads under the faithful guidance of Coach YVilliam Shidler appeared well trained in the fundamental tactics of the different sports. The basketball squads, after taking the Nevada-El Dorado flag, went into the C. I. F. championship games to be defeated by close scores. Track was as successful as in pre- vious years. FOOTBALL TEAM Coach Shidler, Richlin, Cornow, Brock, Raun, McGagin, Ford, Perrow, King, Ingram, Kitto, Rondoui, Hansen, Carter, O'Hara, Scott, Andrews, Howard, Sutherland, Beebee, Hocking 42 FOOTBALL XVhen football began as the first sport of the year a triumphal season seemed apparent. The pigskin men started out to show their wares at too early a date, however, and injuries were the result due to their being insuf- ficiently hardened. Due to these injuries, a light and inexperienced squad was forced to represent the glory of Red and Gold. These men played well against teams of their own B class. The team did its best.

All of these have proved themselves worthy of the pride with which the school views them. Practically every calling in life has been followed by these former students of G. V, H. S. Many have traveled far from home to win distinction. But those who remained at home have done their bit toward making the school feel proud. Some of these are George Bennetts. '98, now superintendent of public works of the city of Grass Valley 3 lNilliam VVilliams, manager of the Strand Theater, Clara Carson, editor of the first annual Stray Leaves. teacher in the grammar grades here. Practi- cally all of the teachers of the grammar grades of Grass Valley and the out- lying districts are graduates of our school. Members of the more recent graduating classes are all doing well in the race of life. Irene Cook, '17, is now working at the State Capitol building in Sacramento. Others who are also employed in Sacramento are Kate Johns. working for the State Highway Commission: Ben Schwartz, employed at the Hotel Land. Verl Talboe and Lena Leutnecker, members of the Class of 1926. are in training for nurses at Stanford and all reports indicate their success in this line of work. Many students have obtained positions here and in other cities and are proving themselves capable of excellent work. Mabel VVilliams. '25, is assistant city clerk. Rose Geronomi, Emma Rowe, Ralph Deeble. Allison Simmons, Florence Bennallack, Clifford Carveth, Martha Lambrecht, VVinifred Mitchel, Irene Julif, Reta Fuller-Beloud, Sadie Geronomi, Amelia Richards-Simms, Cecil Deward, Earl Caddy, Dora Mitchel, Henry Richards, Ralph and Russel XNilson, Georgia VVoods, Minnie Fraser, Ruby Scott, Ber- nice Clem, Lillian Davies, Charles Ingram, Lettie Reed, Elma Barker are all graduates who have positions here in town and are doing well. Many students who are attending the University of California are taking prominent parts in activities there. Beth and Elma Williams, Russel VVhiting. VVinifred Tyrell, Marion Taylor, Malcolm Willianis, and Bernice VVhitin0' are among those enrolled, at U. C. bi In fact, in going over the long list we find it difficult to pick out any one student and declare that he is more capable or successful than another because whatever occupation our graduates have chosen we find them doing work that is irreproachable. Our lawyers, bankers, business men, farmers, politicians, govermnent employees, merchants, accountants or stenographers are deserv- ing of our admiration and encouragement. They have set an example for future graduates of Grass Valley High School that, if followed, will lead to the same standard of success that they have attained. 48 Girls' Sports VVhen school opened in the fall volley ball started under the able super- vision of Miss Burroughs. Each class took an active interest in the game and as a result competent teams were formed. The first inter-class game was played between the Juniors and the Seniors. Amid much rooting and applause the Seniors received the large end of the score. Next, the lower classmen showed what fine teams they had by playing a good hard game in which the Sophomores proved their capability by defeating the Freshmen. In the final clash between the two winning teams the Seniors emerged victorious. The next game to be taken up was basketball, which invited much enthu- siasm. The Juniors developed a very fast team and easily won the inter-class basketball championship. This year the enthusiasm for baseball has become very evident. A great deal of splendid talent for the game has been displayed on the field and it may be assured that the inter-class games in the near future will be lively ones.

If you have not read the annual called The Ilex, published by the students of the VVOOdl21l1d High School, go into the Grass Valley High School Library today and look this publication over. I am sure you will find it interesting. But wait! Probably some of you will not have the l chance to get this annual, so here is the poetry which I want you to read: IT ISN'T THE SCHOOL, lT'S YOU If you want to go to the kind of a school Like the kind of a school you like, You needn't slip your books in a grip And go on a long, long hike, You'll find what you left behind, For there's nothing that's really new, It's a knock at yourself when you knock your school. It isn't the school, it's you. Real schools aren't made by boys afraid Lest some one else gets ahead, VVhen everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a school from the deadg And while you make your educational stake, Your classmates can make one, toog Your school will be what you want it to be. It isn't the school, it's you. That interest for bigger and better literary departments has increased of late in various Exchanges is well evidenced in the following Annuals: The Gleaner, Garfield Junior High School, Potpourri, Placer Union High School, The Advance, Arcata Union High School g El Eco, Lincoln Union High School, La Perita, Courtland Union High School, The Quill, Nevada City High School 3 Sparks. Sparks High School, Sparks, Nevada, The Review, Sacramento High School. Greenback Notes. San Juan High School, The Alert, Turlock Union High School, Cub's Council, Central Junior High School, Rose Leaves, Roseville Union High School, have made their first appearance in our High School in the past year. W'e lind them interesting and hope we will continue to receive them. . Call again, everyone. VVe always have pleasant times with you. 52 Art in the Annual Art work in the Animal was contributed by the art class. under the direc- tion of Miss Dorothy Dyke. This year an attempt has been made to sketch interesting bits of scenery in and about Grass Valley and Nevada City, and the work of a number of students is represented among the resulting cuts. Muriel Brannegan contributed the cut for the title page. Hortense VVhite the cut for contents page, and Lorraine Lewis that for Editorial. Isabel Bennal- lack sketched the cut for Seniorsg Ruth Richards, the letters for Senior Class History and the Alumni. Claire Adams made the cut for the Prophecy. and Benita Nobs those for Class Wlill, Society and Clubs. Art, and the Cover Design. The cuts for the class sections were drawn by Una VVilloughby, Iuniorsg Helene Bing. Sophomoresg and Anna Stevenson, Freshmen and Literary. Ernest Kramm is responsible for Sports and Harriet Lobecker, the editor of the Stray Leaves, sketched the cuts for Drama and for the Calendar. Who Did the Typing? Bob VVilson, Myrtle Kent and Helen Lobecker have done almost all of the typing for this book. VVhen one considers how much material is contained in this small volume and then estimates how much more was eliminated in the final judging, perhaps he can realize just how much work these three pupils have done. Although their names are not prominent nor their pictures in full view on the staff, we must remember that their work has been tiring and uninteresting and give them credit for doing their bit to make the book a success. Ray Cr0ther's Diligence There is a boy in our school And he has wond'rous tactg He goes to business men for ads, And always brings one back. He works from after school 'till dark, VVith all his might and main, And when Saturday comes along, He's on the job again. The Annual business man is he And he surely knows his stuff: He takes this work most seriously And never gets enough. This boy is in the Senior Class His given name is Ray: 9 VVe know as sure, as sure can be, He'll make his mark some day. -Harald Hansen Trees are noble for they stand For all the glory of our landg All that's strong and pure and free God has fashioned in a tree. They are tall and true and green, Reflections of a strength unseen. All we are or hope to be, lVe'1l see mirrored in a tree. ' -Helen Lobecker, '28 53 During the Year The Monthly Stray Leaves has been very successful. Increased circula- tion and more advertisers made possible a bigger and better paper. a munber of the editions containing six pages. VVhile the increase in size meant more expense, nevertheless it allowed room for the addition of a number of new features. Money earned by the paper was used in furnishing the Stray Leaves room. The library has received a great deal of attention. Many new books have been added and a system of cataloging the books introduced. There have been numerous additions to the commercial department also. Among these are a Burroughs electrically driven bookkeeping machine. 31 Monroe calculator. six new typewriters and a new course in salesmanship. New books have been added in the English department. The semester system has been introduced. The art department has come to the fore in a number of respects. The class made and sold place cards. The money thus earned was used to purchase new materials which aided in making the work very interesting. Painting on oilcloth, batiking and stage scenery design have also been attempted with good results. In the middle of the year a stage curtain was installed. an improvement long awaited. Its presence makes it possible for the dramatics class to give plays which are a valuable aid, due to the practical experience the pupils receive. On the outside of the building there have also been startling improvea ments. Perhaps the most noticeable of these are the new walks recently laid out. In front of the building the walks are of cement. while the ones leading to the gymnasium have been graveled and will be cemented this summer. Spotlights have been installed on one side of the building to provide adequate lighting for the parking of cars near the gymnasium at night. New steps have been built leading down to the lower story of the gym- nasium. It is planned to build a retaining wall near the gym in the near future to prevent soil being washed away from the athletic held. Another contemplated improvement is the laying out of tennis courts. Though no definite action has been taken in regard to them. nevertheless, they are being seriously thought of.

You are about to take your places with the rest of the men and women who are charged with the responsibility of conducting business, running governments, filling the professions and taking charge of industry. Yours may be a minor part, but you do not want it to continue to be so. Your school days do not constitute the large part of your education. They are just the beginning. Life is one big school. From the minute we open our eyes to the time when we draw our last breath, we learn, and learn, and learn again. From the time the baby reaches for a plaything and draws, it to his mouth, thus measuring distance, to the time when the old man learns the value of spectacles because his eyes grow dim, we learn. The boy or girl who accepts the fact that one is just beginning to learn as he leaves high school acquires the faculty that will make it possible for him to have all the wisdom of the centuries in what- ever field he chooses. The value of an education will become apparent to you more and more as you grow older, and we congratulate you upon having received the learning that this community has provided for you. Make the most of it. Nevada County Bank With Assets of Five and a Half Million GRASS VALLEY NEVADA CITY .5 Q. 57 Do you know that Father has never spoken a hasty word to Mother? Richard- How is that?

Many of you are eager and ready to put those sturdy arms in the ranks of that offensive army of Making a Way against that stern old warrior-Cold Business. Fight for your football and fight to keep it. Your youth and strength will stand you in good stead, but you will find the need of a something still more vigorous and reliable, and that something is only found in the iron-bound strength of a savings account. There may be a time, a crucial time in your career, when the reserve force of carefully saved dollars will be called upon, and, like trained soldiers, safely fortify a threatened breach. We are helping other young people every day of their lives and they are winning! Their pride in the growth of their savings accounts is a just one, just as yours will be. To you, the Class of 1927, we extend congratulations, sincere wishes for your success and offer you willing and ready arms to join with yours in Making a Way. FIRST NATIONAL BANK In Grass Valley VVM.
