Instead of the feeling of gladness I expected to fill me with glee. My soul is possessed with a sadness That is a new feeling to me. 52 On board the “Lois Lapham, The Middle of the Pacific Ocean, May 10, 1940. Dearest Ruth : 1 am sitting in my Houser chair, with my new Horton Steamer rug, that you were so thoughtful in sending me. It has been a glorious two days since 1 left San Francisco. The sun is shining cheerfully down on our boat,splashing everything with a vivid brightness, from the spotless deck to the green crests of the waves. It is certainly delightful to travel on a ship as luxuriously appointed as the “Lois Lapham. In our stateroom arc the new Russell Wood beds, the Wetzel chairs and Thaxter Reed Carpets. My lounge is something distinctive, just designed by Bernice Stoutenburg. Indeed, I am told that the staterooms were planned by Clara Varitz, so it is not surprising that we have the most luxurious as well as the most modern of appoint- ments. Our Captain, Howard Sherwood, has invited me to be his guest. Others sitting at the table with him are Madeleine Baker, the famous musician, who has had such success on the concert stage; Joyce Aldrich, who seems as attractive as ever; Roy Gibson, the handsome movie actor, and George Mimnaugh, the ladies’ man of the ship. Yesterday 1 had the pleasure of inspecting the whole boat, and meeting a few of the officers. Tom Randles is the first mate, and Clarence Wilson the second. I am told that each has a wonderful future ahead of him. Carl Standstedt is the chief engineer. Truly. 1 did not under- stand anything about the engine room, but I was told that Ralph Mize had invented some very wonderful device by which the engines were run entirely by electricity. In the radio station, Calder McCall and Dan McLoughlin are oper- ators. They have the new Lowe receiving sets by which moving pictures may be shown. The salons, which were planned by the successful decor- ator. Fern Perry, are wonderfully attractive with their 53 The Spectrum June, 1922 rare pieces of statuary, by Marjorie Atkins, and their ar- tistic rugs and furniture. Not only are the living quarters beautiful, but the en- tertainment of the guests is carefully provided for. There is a swimming pool with competent instructors, a gymna- sium with Vera Nau as director, a tennis court where I saw Nona Peterson, and a wonderful library where Elvera Queenall is head librarian. On the miniature golf course where 1 was playing yesterday, I saw Lenora Speidel and Clarence Kalk, the wealthy advertising manager. Helen Sisk, who has conducted her exclusive girls’ school with such ability; Lois Scroggin, who is teaching French, and another successful business man, Francis Weeks, were also playing there. As I was looking at the passenger list this morning, I saw the names of several people whom we know. Lyle Burnaugh, Arnold Geffin, Alice Burt, Lolita Courtier, Alice Enquist and Francis Gramm are all going to the World’s Fair at Honolulu. Margaret Lynn is calling me to go for a walk, so good- bye for now—and I shall expect to hear from you soon. With love, Muriel. Portland, Oregon, June 2, 1940. Muriel Dear: If you could imagine how delighted I was yesterday when I read your lovely, newsy letter, I am sure you would send me another soon. What an interesting time you must be having at Honolulu! But wait till I tell you the plans I have made. I am going to travel too! Last week I de- cided to go to New York—partly on business, but mostly for pleasure. I made mv reservations yesterday from John Repp, who is the passenger agent for the Union Pacific. I am sending you the latest song hit, “My Sweetheart Has a Summer Home in Mars,” by Mary Robinson. It has the cutest words. I heard it for the first time last night at the new Drew Theatre. Thelma Long, who is the cashier of the First National Bank, went with me, and we were especially interested in a clever skit starring Enid Kirk- wood, who is a famous comedienne. There was also a mystifying fortune telling act by Dorothy Romans, and in the orchestra Viola Slavens was playing the violin, Becken- dorf the banjo, and Burkholder the saxaphone. During the intermission Thelma told me she had just heard that Ray Van Water had startled the world by his daring feat of going over Niagra Falls in a barrel. 54 June, 1922 The Spectrum One day last week I entertained for Regina Gill, who won the 1940 Fame and Fortune contest, and is about to enter the movies. My distinguished guests included Rosa- mond Hart, who has gone in for futuristic painting; Doris Lytle, who is conducting a school of interpretive dancing, and Marion Burk, who is a charming artist’s model. Speaking of prominent persons: did you know Vern Casebcer is following in the footsteps of Wallace Reid, and is rapidly becoming one of our most popular movie heroes. Little Beatrice Palmer, who was in our registra- tion room, has been singing in grand opera and will be in Portland with the Chicago Grand Opera Company next winter. Greta Turner, who is an interior decorator, came over to see me the other evening, and she told me some inter- esting things about many in the June ’22 class, which I know you would like to hear. Mildred Onslow is writing the cleverest scenarios, and Yorke Herron was recently chosen as coach for the Princeton football team. Ramona Miner has written one of the best sellers. Henry Mason has had his plans for the new bridge across the Willamette accepted, and Harold Neff manufactures the new gum which all of the girls are chewing. Irene Upson is writing successful magazine stories for children. I saw Willard Leihy lately. He was very handsome in his Simon hat, and he promised to take me for a ride in his new Austed airship. On Alumni Day, I had the pleasure of visiting Jeffer- son. Somehow I cannot make it seem eighteen years since we graduated. The school is greatly changed. There is another building opposite the old Jefferson High School precisely like it in every detail. The architects were John Scheffer and Harvey Russell. The beautiful shady park which surrounds the building was planned by Blanche Wil- liston. Only three former Jefferson graduates are teach- ing there now—the Misses Pearce, Wold and Ritter. As- sisting the present dean of women as secretaries, are Ilene Reber, Laurenee Feig and Esther Smith. I had a delight- ful time, although there were very few faces I recognized. Only two others from our class were there. Myrtle Mock, a florist, and Mayor Guild. We ate our lunch at the Dainty Stage Lunch Room, across the street. Friday was my shopping day. 1 simply adore shopping, don’t you? First I went to Geary’s, where I purchased some slippers, then I went all over town for a hat, finally deciding on one at Mine. Shaw’s exclusive shop. I spent some time in the book department of Samuel’s and Com- 55 The Spectrum June, 1922 pany. When I was walking up Broadway, I noticed the cleverest new place right across from Hotel Edstrom. It is an Oriental earring shop. Isn’t that exciting, and it is in charge of Marjorie Taylor. After lunching at Evelyn Karr’s Rose Tea Shop, I went over to my favorite, Vera Dickey Beauty Salon, where Willa Hurt is in charge of the hair dressing parlor. I am beginning to think of packing, so I bought a Larson ward- robe trunk and ordered a new traveling suit, which Eva Thompson designed for me. You are so much in my mind now, Muriel. Every even- ing before 1 fall asleep I try to imagine what you are doing in the isle where the pineapples grow. Have you fallen under the spell of the land of steel guitars and the bewitch- ing moonlight nights in the shadow of the fateful Mauna Loa? Even if you have, you will surely keep a place in your heart for your friends in the states. Ruth Parks. P. S.—You remember Fred Johnson, don’t you? He is running a stage from here to Astoria. He tells me he makes the round trip on an average of 57 minutes. Hotel Crowther, Honolulu, Hawaii, June 6, 1940. Dear Ruth : This is certainly the “Paradise of the Pacific,” with its wonderful climate and beautiful parks and buildings. The exposition is in full swing—and I never have seen so many people in all my life! The concessions are arranged on a board walk which runs along the shore—out from Hono- lulu. Back from these amusements is a row of park blocks, stretching for miles. Beyond this are the exposition build- ings. Yesterday morning Margaret and I started out on the board walk. Everyone rides in the electrically propelled McCullock chairs. We rode for hours, stopping every now and then to enter some side show or eating place like Joel Hertche’s, who owns a chain of smart tea houses that line the walk. We went in all of the promising looking amusement places. Some of these belonged to Shaver and Rowden, and others to the prosperous firm of Clausen, Vreeland and Waggoner. Garland Jeude and Marvin Krohner have a very popular bowling alley next door to the Flores and Guston Baths. Laird McKenna and Elbert Gardner have a billiard room. 5c. June, 1922 The Spectrum We had a delicious lunch at the Moore Tea Gardens, where I saw Eunice Pease and Galo Lim. In the after- noon we looked for a motion picture house, of which there are many on the hoard walk. Some of these are owned by Alice Smith and Thelma I'arks. We saw Imogene Lewis in “Blue Check Gingham” at the McLelland Theatre. After dinner, we heard Marion Mustee in a violin con- cert. This completed a full day so we were glad to get to sleep. This morning we walked about Honolulu, looking at all the buildings. 1 hear that many of the people from the states are established here. Myrtle Blomquist is President of the Progressive Business Women’s League. Thelma Belknap. Violet Eccles, Gertrude Goltz and Lucy Eggiman also fill important places. Gertrude Heckman is the head of the Y W. C. A. The noted suffragist, Belle Caton, is doing a great deal of beneficial work in conjunction with the Y. W. We had luncheon at a fashionable restaurant managed by Thelma Thompson. I saw several prominent profes- sional people of Honolulu there. Frank Faust, a noted at- torney ; Baird Little, the dentist; Charles Rosenkrans, the surgeon, and Russel Lawrence, one of the most successful criminal lawyers on the island, were lunching together. At another table Alice Glover was entertaining for Wini- fred Hardison. Among her guests I noticed Aileen Halli- well, Agnes Newman, Katherine Lyons and Margaret Pratt. This afternoon, we are going to some of the buildings which I will tell you about later. I’ll expect another newsy letter from you bv the next steamer. Sincerely Yours, Muriel McCutciian. June 19, 1940. Dear Muriel: My train is whisking me through the plains of Wyoming at a dizzy pace that 1 can sit for hours merely enjoying the fascinating thrill of speed. Our locomotive is equipped with the wonderful Langley Locomotive Brake so that we can stop immediately without the slightest jar. Yesterday I talked all afternoon with Frances Works, who is on her way to Ogden as a demonstrator for the new blowing outfit for cleaning house. It is a very clever invention of Juanita Jenkin’s. and you should hear her tell how easily one can operate it. We discussed everything from Kyllo’s Japanese curios to startling theories on mental 57 The Spectrum June, 1922 telepathy. She told me about lots of old friends and what they are doing. Prof. Hagstrom has been on the chatauqua for the past two years with his splendid lecture on “How to be Happy Though a Millionaire ' Verna Crowell is married and has her beautiful San Francisco home fitted up for the kindergarten classes which she conducts. Adeline Nance is demonstrating the merits of the Pennington Type- less Typewriters. Anna Vesta Williams has studios in Salt Lake City where she is very successful as an expres- sion teacher. Helen Erickson married a wealthy mining man, and is living in Seattle. Ralph Hanson is simply coining money with his oyster farm at Newport. She told me that Ruth Light is also married and is traveling with her husband through Central America. She is bringing home a collection of monkeys which she sells for pets. How interesting it is to find out how one's school chums are succeeding in business! Whenever I have time at my disposal I enjoy tracing up old friends. You have heard about the South Pole explorations, haven’t you ? I under- stand that Frances Frison, Hazel Olson and Dorothy Sterl- ing are interested and that they will be included in the ex- pedition. Ruby Montag has an interesting position travel- ing in out-of-the-way corners of the world. She photo- graphs scenery for film plays. Did you know that Vera Coulter and Agnes Rigg have a laboratory on Pike's Peak for scientific research work? The porter has just given the third call for luncheon, so I will interrup this letter for a while. Rack from lunch. On the dining car I met Sheirine Lloyd, who is going to Denver on a pleasure trip. The steward gave me, in change, three of those new half-cent pieces. You knew that Vivian Verhage made the design for them, but did you know that Marcia Helen Ross was the original of the head on the coins? At the last stop, Cheyenne, I got a paper to find out how the election is coming. Cyril Gloyn seems to be one of the most popular presidential candidates in history, and his election is almost certain. Won’t it be fun to say that we have gone to school with the President of the United States, and isn’t it splendid that at last we are to have a real Westerner in the White House? I see that Rose Kennedy is in politics, too. She is running on the Repub- lican ticket for Oregon Legislator. I didn't enjoy the Cheyenne paper much except for the funny page contucted by Carl Grable. His “Flappers’ Frantic Frolics makes me wonder how I could ever have enjoyed “Bringing up Father or “Polly and Her Pals. 58 June, 1922 The Spectrum The train stopped a few minutes ago, and I heard the men in the section behind me discussing the installation of a huge power plant in Labrador to utilize the electric en- ergy of the Aurora Borealis. I was wondering who it could be that was undertaking such a mammoth task, when I learned to my surprise, that it was Albert Schwichten- berg. We just now passed the extensive De Loach stock farms, which made Nebraska famous. I have been watching the lovely, rolling plains, and I haven't written much since lunch. Now it is nearly time to dress for dinner, so good- bye for this time. I will mail this at Chicago. Ruth. P. S.—When I got off at Chicago such a surprising thing happened that I forgot to mail my letter. A group of prosperous-looking men were boarding the train. I was informed that they were a delegation of French and Belgian bankers, and with them was a prominent banker of Chicago, whom I recognized as Clifford Powers, looking more handsome than ever in his shiny silk hat. I will write again from New York. R. G. P. P. S. II.—Oh, I thought you would be interested to know that I just met Ola Hicks and Gladys Lincoln. They are running a home-making school for girls.’ And, by the way, do you remember Dorothy Ekholm? They told me she is a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. Again I will close. Good night! R. G. P. On the Beach of Waikiki, June 16, 1940. Dearest Ruth : I was delighted to get your last letter and I am look- ing forward to seeing you again, because I will leave within a few days for home. I have been studying the rare pieces of art brought to the exposition for so long that I feel stuffed full with knowledge. Margaret Resbury, Dorothy Riggs and Marguerite Swett have been reporting the news of the exposition to the Portland papers; but I will send you some pictures that I got from Ruth Ahlstrom, who demonstrates picture framing. This morning we flew over to the volcano at Hilo, in one of the aeroplanes of the Ford company, which was operated by Earle Rogers. There was a large party of us on the plane—A. Henderson, Lillian James, Marguerite Mortenson, Cecilia Robinson, Nina Taylor, Elizabeth Ton- neson. Dorothy Lamb and many others who’m I did not 59 The Spectrum June, 1922 know. It was a beautiful ride for we could see miles and miles around the island. The whole world seemed spread out in green splatches, waves, and shining white buildings. When we reached Hilo, we had lunch at Miller Bruhn’s Tavern, and then went out to the Kilauea crater of the Manila Loa Volcano. It is a wonderful crater, about three miles across, filled with vivid red lava, and a sea of mud. It has been erupting for over one hundred years and is still in an almost constant state of activity. It makes one feel very small when one is in the presence of such phe- nomena of nature, so everyone was quiet on the trip to the city. Late this afternoon we came out to the beach to watch tlie surf riders. Marianero Esperango and George Hay- aka wa were the most daring and proficient of the riders. Kaarin Maiki also performed some thrilling stunts along the beach. The cartoonist, Janies Keys, was fashioning portraits of people in the sand. He had one of Walter Kelsey, Gover- nor of the island, and another of the well-known actress, Helen Long, who portrays character parts with such ability. Quite a few people who we know came up to visit with us beneath our awning. We met Karl Dobler. the record salesman, Arthur Maurischat and Dalla Nallsch and William Pitzer. I was very glad to sec them and we talked about old times. This evening we had dinner at the Cocoanut Grove. I have never seen it so beautiful. All the tables were out beneath the trees which wre hung in bright colored Jap- anese lanterns. Frank De Spain, the wealthy manufacturer: Helen Martin, the social service worker, and Richard Wynne, who lias made so many millions in his overall factory, joined our party. Dick brought over some won- derful flowers from Elinor Williams floral shop. There were several other gay parties in the grove where I saw Nina Whitney, the beautiful authoress, and Ruth Young, the commedienne, dining together. Margaret Lynn told me that she had seen Walter Carroll, the wealthy business men, and pretty Margaret Orr and Anna Stewart, who are traveling all over for a vacation. After dinner we heard Robert Stoner on the violin. It was a delightful evening, but everyone has gone back to the hotel now. and I am sitting alone on the beach, thinking about the last month. Every star in the heavens seems to have come out. and the moon is bathing the breakers with silver light. Every- thing seems hushed and far away—back in the grove I can 60 June, 1922 The Spectrum hear the faint music of the ukeleles that are strumming for the dancers. My thoughts go back to the night eighteen years ago. when we graduated from Jefferson. How eager we were for the future, and how well everything seems to have turned out! 1 wonder how we would have felt could we have looked ahead eighteen years then into the class prophecy. 1 will see you soon as I return on the first of August. Sincerely yours, Muriei. F. McCutchan. Hotel Waite, New York City. June 18, 1940. Dearest Muriel: This has been such a busy week. My first impressions of New York are quite favorable. I should hate to live here, but I find it most exciting to visit. The first person I recognized was Gertrude Harris, who is still the society editor of the Baltimore Sun. She has a room next to mine, and we go around together a great deal, as she knows the city better than I. I found out yesterday that the hotel physician is Dr. Suckow, and one of the trained nurses in charge is Miriam Peterson. Hotel Waite is a lovely place, and it surely lives up to its reputation. Gertrude and I spent yesterday evening at home, in gales of laughter, talking over old times. She is in New York so much that she keeps in touch with lots of out-of- town people. Clifford Clausen is in town now, she told me. He is a wealthy fruit grower in Michigan. She saw Alice Estberg recently. Alice has been very successful in politics, and is now lecturing on “Man's Place in the Home.” Gertrude called my attention to the latest copy of “Film Flames,” edited by William Wiggens, which contained sev- eral interviews with famous stars, by Eleanor Shaffer. One night we went to the Zeigfield Follies. We saw Cecile Bridge there with her husband, a wealthy New York architect. The sight of New York by night is one that is not easily forgotten. Its impressions is doubly enhanced bv the wonderful Radio point which we have heard so much about. This product, which has been recently per- fected by Marvin Meyers, is spread over the buildings and signs, and the effect is an almost daylight brightness. 61 The Spectrum June, 1922 Sunday I had the great pleasure of attending one of the largest New York churches. I heard an inspiring ser- mon by Dr. Foote of Buffalo, who is visiting here. Lutie Welch usually sings in the choir, but 1 was disappointed to learn that she was away in the Canadian Rockies, where she spends her summer vacations. The most interesting event I attended last week was a reunion of Jefferson students held at Mildred Whitcomb’, apartments. I was the first guest to arrive, so I had a nk t long talk with Dr. Whitcomb about her success as a Ne v York M. D. There was a surprising number of Jefferson Alurmii, many of whom I knew. Edna Cusak was there. She is happy with the little fortune she has made from her original idea of entertaining shut-in children. I also met a beautiful and striking blonde, who, before her marriage, was Adele Pilkair. Arlus Morris, who owns an ostrich farm in the Bahama Isles, was there, as well as Melville Bush, a jeweler. Verna Biersdorf is a librarian in the city, and she had a letter with her from Hazel May, who is now writing a book on her travels through Russia. I heard that Florence Gibson puts up Oriental fruits and delicacies, and that Anna Healy works for the Near East Relief Board. Mabel Mauboules and Leah Stiverson are both traveling in different parts of the Southern states inspecting factory conditions. A distinguished out-of-town guest was Richard Hoyt of Detroit. He tells me that more “Hoyts” are leaving his automobile plant than any other similar company in the city. Mildred told me that Charles McKillop, who graduated in our class, is the captain of a passenger boat that runs between Chicago and Buffalo. We admired some pieces of inlaid pottery that Mildred said she had purchased at the McCloskey Gift Shop. After an evening’s reminiscences, we enjoyed delicious refresh- ments from the Ahrendt Delicatessen. Going home that night I fell to musing over people, and their life work. Doesn’t it make you happy to think that our classmates have all distinguished themselves in the work of this busy world? Though all of us, perhaps, can- not shine among the world’s most famous stellar lights, we can at least show our individuality in an original choice of the service that we would do for the world. Well, this is enough moralizing for one letter, isn’t it? Do write me another of your dear, long letters soon. Your ardent friend, Ruth Parks. 62 Spring Ramona Miner 1XG was in the air, beautiful, glorious •ring-time! Under the flood of bright sun- lit. the trees with their new foliage seemed re green and more beautiful than ever he- re. The song of birds and the happy voices children filled the air with music, for it would have taken a long search, indeed, on that wonderful day to find anyone who could long withstand the lure of that gladsome siren, Spring. But if one had looked long enough and searched patiently enough, the quest would have been successful, and it would have ended under the shadow of a large apple tree, where reclined the well-built, well-dressed figure of a boy of perhaps seventeen years of age. The apple tree grew in the back yard of the spacious Cameron prop- erty, which ended in a gradual slope to a broad shallow river. At a casual glance, one would scarcely have guessed that for this boy the world was dark and gloomy. But on closer inspection, one discovered that his face, naturally a pleasant one, was marred by an habitual frown, at the present time more pronounced than usual, and which deepened at a call issuing from the back of the house, “Laurence, where are you ?” Rising leisurely from the ground, he was making his way slowly towards the house, when his Collie pup ran playfully in front of him, barking. Catching the spirit of fun and good-fellowship, Larry, with frown vanished, started to give chase, only to be suddenly brought up sharply by the voice from the house again, which rang out petulantly: “Laurence, how many times must I tell you not to run; you know the doctor says it is not good for you.” Then noticing the anguished look which passed over his face, she added in a voice calculated to soothe, “You know, dear, it's all for the best. A boy with a weak heart can’t run around like other people, it’s not good for him. The new doctor is coming to see you before long; you had better lie down in the hammock and rest.” The Spectrum June, 1922 “Rest, rest! he burst out harshly. “That's all I hear from morning till night. Rest! I’m sick of resting! I want to go play ball with the gang. I don't feel sick and I don't believe there's anything the matter with me.” Then catch- ing himself up sharply, lie said in a voice he tried to make calm, “Excuse me. I'm feeling worse than usual today. Did you want me for anything special ?” “No, but I thought maybe you wanted something. You know, dear, mother wants to do everything she possibly can for you.” Laurence made his escape back to the apple tree as soon as possible. He was very sensitive about his trouble, and consequently had told no one, and had sworn his mother, against her will, to secrecy also. He hated sympathy and didn't want the crowd’s. As a result, they thought him an absolute “sissy” and one of them had even gone so far as to deride and jeer at him openly. It was little wonder that he could not answer the call of Spring. He wanted to, oh, how he wanted to! But there was this great draw-back. As he was slowly returning, he noticed a small lad of about five years, playing near the water's edge, and as he looked, he saw something else. The child slipped and fell in. Larry had never learned to swim, but the water was not deep, and he had little difficulty in pulling the child out, for with a few quick strides he had reached the bank and, wad- ing quickly out he had carried it to safety. This action, however, had taken much exertion, and it was only when he was standing on the bank again and heard the frightened call of his mother, who had come up behind him, that he realized what he had done. His heart! He placed his hand over it. It was beating very hard and fast. “Oh, Laurence, my poor boy, what will happen to you now? You know what the doctor said about shocks?” Larry, thinking of the shivering boy, who would surely have drowned had it not been for him and who was now crying lustily, said nothing. His mother continued, “It’s lucky the new doctor is here. Come and we shall see him.” Larry, taking the rescued boy by the hand, followed his mother quietly. The new doctor, the successor to the Cam- eron’s old family doctor, was a young, pleasant-faced man, who listened to Mrs. Cameron’s jumbled words with no change of expression. When she had ceased talking, he said calmly to the boy, “Put on some dry clothes and come back here.” Laurence did as he was told. Meanwhile he was think- ing. Mr. Black, their old doctor would have put him to bed, no doubt, and made no end of fuss and bother. He 64 June, 1922 The Spectrum suddenly decided he liked the new one. After changing his clothes, lie went back downstairs. From there the doctor took him in his car with him to take the youngster home. After delivering him to grateful parents, they stopped at the doctor’s office, where Larry underwent a thorough examination. When he had finished, the doctor was very, very grave, but to Larry’s anxious inquiries he merely said, “Come.” They returned to the Cameron home, where the boy’s mother was anxiously waiting. To her excited questions he gave no response for a moment, then spoke quietly. “Mrs. Cameron,” he said, “I must tell you something which makes me very happy and at the same time, very, very angry. You have been greatly wronged, you and your son, by your past doctor. Mr. Cameron’s heart trouble is a product of the imagination, but because it was a good way for that old fake to get money, he took a cruel advantage of your credulity. I have made a thorough test of your son’s heart and it is as sound as anyone’s.” “But,” protested Mrs. Cameron, “When he runs or any- thing, his heart beats so fast.’ “Naturally it would, when he is not used to exercise.” Larry listened to this recital with conflicting emotions, and when they threatened to get the better of him, he fled to his old retreat, the apple tree, and there did some of the hardest thinking of his life. At first, he experienced a blind, unreasoning anger against Mr. Black. The ruth- less cruelty of it all made him sick. Scenes of his early boyhood flitted before his mind’s eye in rapid succession, scenes where he had been constantly “left out” because of his “trouble.” Oh, to get his hands on that doctor! Larry sat there on the’ ground for a long time, fists clenched, muscles tense, eyes hard and dry. Sounds from the ball park, not far distant, were wafted to him faintly with the breeze, but he heeded them not. Finally he cried, with the terrible, dry, unrestrained sobbing of a man in sorrow. Perhaps it was due to the influence of Mr. Wood that Mrs. Cameron did not follow her son, but later, much later, when Larry came back to the house, the two, one with sus- piciously red eyes, sat quietly in the front room. They heard Larry come in and go upstairs, and they could hear him rumaging around up there, then his footsteps coming down, the bang of the back door and then a voice call: “Hi. Jack! I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to play ball with you.” Spring reigned supreme! 65 The Call John Scheffer There comes a call whose voice is like the sea On some reverberating shore; then time Doth cease, and in imagination free, The bounds of space are broken, and the clime Which long I knew is changed, and in its place Are aspects new and panoramas that Are strange; a mountain crest uplifts its face Unto the stars; or now purchance a plat Of mystic desert whispers with the tide. But soon the spell is broken and all things Assume their wonted features, where abide Life’s lights and shadows dim. Yet fresh there springs From some half-hidden source new calm, new might, Like to a rising star, new hope, new light. 66 June, 1922 The Spectrum A Little Bear Story Vern Casebeer T WAS just last Christmas when we were up at our lodge in the Santiam National Forest. We always spend our Christmas there in com- pany with three or four guests. Last year was the first time in years that I didn’t have a good time. I enjoyed the apples we roasted in the big stone fireplace and the firelight flickering into the dark corners of the council room (as we called it) added much interest to the stories told on these holiday occasions. One evening we were having our story hour and every- body had told his yarn but my father. After causing sev- eral roasted apples to vanish, he gave me a queer smile and then said: “Well, folks, four years ago we (meaning our family) visited Yellowstone National Park and it was simply iowsy’ with bear—” Now an odd look gets on my nerves, so I asked to be excused so that I might retire early as I was going to take a little tramp in the snow in the morning. My exit was followed by a smart chuckle from Dad who proceeded with his story as my chum, Dick Winters, afterwards told me. Dick also gave the story to me as father told it. “Well, as I was saying,” said father, “the bear were as thick as mosquitoes. The hotels were not running on account of the war, so Mr. Bruin had to resort to the camper’s supply box for food, as there were no garbage heaps at which he might dine. The only heap that was fresh was one about two miles from camp. This was where all the scraps of the campers were carried. The bears were reported to eat there at night. It was also reported that Mother Minnie, the only real grizzly bear in the park, was in the vicinity, consequently most of 11s were on our guard. “There was a young fellow about fourteen years old camped very close to me. He was always getting a bunch of boys to chase a few bears into the creek. After they were chased into the water the boys would heave rocks at them. Soon the youngsters had most of the bears scared to death and they wouldn’t come back, much to the boys’ disappointment. “Well, this fresh kid, let’s see, we’ll call him Kid, made the acquaintance of a boy from Utah, named Charlie. Things were dull, so friend Charles suggests that they 67 The Spectrum June, 1922 take a little stroll as it was a very clear, moonlit evening. The Kid said: “‘Nothing doing! I crave excitement. Let’s get the fellows around camp and go to the dump heap to see if we could rustle a few bear into a little chase “ ‘Suits me grunted Charlie, so off they went to get the gang. “By nine o’clock the gang was in front of the postoffice, all ready for action. They were not the only ones, for over in the soldiers’ barracks were some newly cut hazel switches The lieutenant in charge had told the boys he would give them all a good licking if they didn’t stop chasing and ston- ing bears that had done no harm. “Well, the boys picked up good sized rocks and stuffed them in their pockets until they could hardly walk. They also picked up some heavy hickory limbs which they could use for clubs. “They crept around the heap and found about five poor bears feasting. At a given signal from the Kid, twelve wild, crazy boys ran yelling at the poor bears. At the same time rocks sailed forth into the moonlit air. “ ‘Rh—rh-r-r-r-r’ —Everybody stopped in his tracks. “Then with a mighty roar, Mother Minnie (as the boys supposed) mounted the heap. I guess the moon shining on her silvery fur made her look rather—er—a spooky. The growl made the boys spooky too. Then all of a sudden tlie silence was broken by a large ‘Ma and down the trail in front of some dust flew Kid. It didn’t take long for the others to follow his footsteps. “Many a peaceful camper’s fireside reverie was spoiled by loud wales echoing through the forest such as: “ ‘Ma, Oh! Mamma!’ “Well, anyway, you can guess who the first one was to reach camp. Funny thing he didn’t stray outside of a twenty-foot circle around his camp the next day. It took a good deal of his freshness out of him, even if he still has some.” June, 1922 The Spectrum Pearls Aileen Halliwell NE! TWO! THREE! As the cuckoo clock struck three, Marion Borthwick threw ‘‘Vanity Fair” down with a terrific bang. “Oh. dear! I do wish that book was excit- ing. Tomorrow I will be sixteen, just think, sixteen whole years! If something exciting would only happen. Here it is only three o'clock and it is so long before tomorrow. Mother promised me a pair of satin slippers to wear to the “Spring Hop” and father has consented to buy me a brindle bulldog. Grandfather absolutely refuses to tell me about his surprise.” Marion had been talking to anything and everything merely to pass away the time. Her father, a wealthy New York merchant, idolized her. Indeed, she was a very gentle, sweet and loving girl who was always looking on the bright side of life. Around her rosy cheeks hung a mass of brown curls carelessly tied with a ribbon. Tier blue eyes sparkled, and in truth, bespoke a nature which anyone would cherish. On this dismal afternoon an aged man sat before a blaz- ing fireplace, in an old mansion, thinking of the past. His checks were flushed as though his thoughts were very pleas- ant. Suddenly, however, his reverie was disturbed. A butler appeared at the door and announced that tea was ready. As the old gentleman threaded his way through the ancient chairs he muttered, “Sixteen years, sixteen years.” When Marion looked at the clock it was five. Jumping from her chair she hurriedly smoothed her hair. With a sigh she picked up “Vanity Fair,” and resumed her reading. At that moment the front door opened and away went her book again. A tall dark man stood on the threshold with outflung arms. With one girlish leap Marion was enveloped in a regular bear hug. “My precious pearl, I have a part of a surprise for you.” “Oli. dad! Tell me quick, I can’t wait one single second.” “We are to dine at your grandfather’s tomorrow, my little lady. The banquet is to be in your honor. But that is not all. The other half of the surprise awaits you there.” “This may be exciting yet,” exclaimed Marion. Just then the dinner bell rang. And up the steps two at a time she flew. As she reached the last .landing her tiny slipper slid G: The Spectrum June, 1922 to the floor. With a queenly air she sat clown on the top step to replace her truant shoe. How she wished Prince Charming would appear with the glass slipper. Arising from her position, she tripped gayly down the long hall to her chamber. Dinner was over, Mr. Borthwick sat dozing in a large leather chair. His glasses had slipped down over his nose, and to tell the truth, he looked very peaceful. Tabby, the cat, reclined on the hearth. Marion was seated at an old-fashioned piano playing “Love’s Old Sweet Song” very softly. When she struck the last chord she wheeled around on the stool and thought- fully gazed at her father. 'What she thought, we do not know. Tiptoeing past her father, she went to bed. Her mother had retired so she did not awaken her to say good- night. When sleep overtook her, Marion dreamt of Spring Hops, fairies and slippers. A prince was kneeling on the floor fitting a tiny glass slipper, but to her surprise, he sud- denly disappeared. With a start she awoke to find herself sitting on the floor rubbing her eyes. “Oh! Oh! Today is my birthday and here I am sit- ting on the floor dreaming of impossible princes.” In a wink Marion was dressed and down stairs. A small bundle of fur came walking out of the door. That very moment she named him Jack. Time passed slowly but at last the carriage arrived. When they reached the old Borthwick mansion the aged man was much overcome with joy at seeing his grand- daughter although she came to see him very often. A ruddy faced butler appeared at the door and announced in a very eloquent manner, “Dinner is served.” Very little was said during the meal. Marion chatted about her school and social functions. Occasionally her father spoke of his business to Mr. Borthwick. When the last plate was removed from the table, the elder Mr. Borthwick arose from his chair rather slowly and stood erect. Directing his speech to Marion he began in a rather low voice, “My dear, sixty years ago today I married your grand- mother. Years have flown past and she is gone. On our wedding day I gave her a string of pearls. For years she wore and cherished these beads of purity, but when she died her last wish was that you should have these pearls. At that time you were a mere babe. You have reached vour six- • 9 70 June, 1922 The Spectrum teenth birthday and I thought that it was time that you should have them. Each pearl holds a memory of her to me, and it is my wish that these pearls be kept in the Borth- wick family in remembrance of Lady Elizabeth Borthwick, your grandmother.” The old gentleman seemed spent after this long speech, but nevertheless he still kept a firm voice which he showed as he said, “James, a chair.” All this time Marion had been gazing up at her grandmother’s portrait which hung directly opposite her, a dear, kind old lady with a winsome smile on her face. The butler appeared with a chair and as he set it down under the portrait, Marion came to her senses. Climbing unsteadily to the chair, Mr. Borthwick carefully shoved the picture aside. And lo! a tiny cubby hole was revealed. With the greatest of care he removed a small jade box. With uncertainty in his step the old man climbed off the chair, but lie was still clutching the box. Pressing his finger on a button the box flew open. As he gazed on the contents his countenance became more softened. With a gentle touch he picked up the pearls. By this time Marion was by his side. Mr. Borthwick turned to his granddaughter and very slowly looped the pearls about her neck. He looked pleased when Marion kissed them with reverence. But he seemed more satisfied when she showed her happiness by kissing the old gentleman on his cheek. Mr. and Mrs. Borthwick had been silently watching the two, but Mr. Borthwick could restrain himself no longer. “Aren’t you glad I kept the other half of the secret?” Her smile assured her father that it had been a wonder- ful surprise to her. 1 The Spectrum June, 192 Thoughts Enid E. Kirkwood Thoughts arc things that, born in Fancy’s head From nothings that are floating in the air, Grow on, scarce heeded, not a thing to dread, Until these half-formed things fly everywhere. The smallest thing will send this thought cell on To grow into a love, a hate, a fear, Until the thing that started it is gone— Until we pay a price so often dear. A tiny cell that hardly moves or feels, First wakened in a vague, subconscious sense; A tone, a move, a look will sometimes steal A heart that gives abundant recompense. The little thoughts that grow into a love Have fellow thoughts that steal and chill the heart. The very heavens seem to shake above With hate that breaks love’s bondage far apart. Only harm will follow in the wake, If hate is nourished from a thing so small. Thoughts may even lead us to forsake Some life-long friend—perhaps forsake them all. If we could only keep them to ourselves, But thought cells form the very breath of life. One hateful thought a tragedy foretells, We cannot hate but that it makes some strife. 72 June, 1922 The Spectrum Tardy ISABELL McLELLAND |OMEHOW everything had gone wrong that morning. The trouble had started in the mid- dle of the night, when the old alarm clock had stopped. Of course that meant getting up late and a late breakfast. At last I was ready and started off to school, but what was my feeling of horror when after going about two blocks, I discovered I had forgotten my lunch! I ran back home and cried excitedly to my mother, Tm not going to go to school today. I’ll be tardy sure. I've never been tardy before and I simply wouldn’t know what to do! Oh, please! I don’t want to break my record.” But my mother was firm and insisted that it would be better to be tardy than miss a whole day, so I started off again working my wits much faster than my legs. It might not be supposed that a simple little flower, growing peacefully by the roadside, would make me have an exceedingly evil thought, but I was in a bad frame of mind. I had decided that I was not going to have a black tardy mark after my name, but I could not hit on a plan, until that unsuspecting flower came before'me in my hour of need. I picked it carefully “root and all” and hurried on. I arrived at the building just in time to hear the tardy bell ring. But what cared I, when I had that flower in my hand! Being tardy you would think I would go immediately to my registration room with an excuse. But no! I went (still carrying my flower) to the botany room. “Good morning,” I said pleasantly to the botany teacher. “I brought this flower up, to put in water, so that it would not wilt before class time. Will you give me a slip, say- ing that I have been here?” Three minutes later, anyone might have seen me, bravely open the door to my room and walk in, tightly clasping a small piece of paper. But—instead of a nice quiet room with that dreadful person of authority at the desk, I was met with a chorus of “Hello, there! Teacher’s absent and the substitute hasn’t come yet!” 7.? The Spectrum June, 192 “Goocbbye” Nadine Ahrendt Do you ever stop to ponder, As the day is passing by, That some dear friend to wander, Will by nightfall say good-bye? Do you ever have that heartache, And that wish to be alone, As you know that ’ere the daybreak, That dear friend then will he gone? Do you ever have that feeling, That your heart’s pierced thro’ and thro’, Until those tears come stealing, For the one that’s ever true? Do you ever stop to wonder, As the day is passing by, That the hardest word to utter, Is that tiny word “good-bye ? 74 June, u)22 The Spectrum Appearances Are Deceitful Grace McCloskey R. GILBERT WICKS stepped off the train at Silver Lake and strode toward the baggage- room with an air that at once proclaimed him to he a gentleman of means and influence. The “Daily said Mr. Wicks was a multi-million- aire, who had been abroad for years. lie was a widower, young, a scholar, and a gentleman, and the village had awaited his coming with much expectancy. Mis bag- gage attended to, he started up the street toward the Silver I louse with a dignified athletic swing of his fine figure that finished an easy victory begun on paper. The Silver House filled up at once—why shouldn't it? There was such a lovely view, and girls dote on scenery. The village re- sponded en masse to Mr. Wick's slightest nod. Me was apparently enjoying himself. If lie wished to single out one of the prettiest girls of Silver House and monopolize her attention for a week, who would say him nay ? So the weeks flew by, and then, the “Daily” threw an- other bomb. This time a millionairess was on the horizon. Silver Lake held its breath awaiting Mrs. Leona Premier Kitselman, a young and fascinating widow, whose old hus- band had died leaving with her a memory, now two years old, and a million. Mr. Wicks and the widow were at once attracted to each other. The other men sulked. The other women pouted, but the multi-millionaire and the widow rode, boated, drove, walked and danced through an idyllic month. Then there was a change. Everyone was puzzled. Peo- ple said they had quarreled. Mr. Wicks grew stern and moody. Mrs. Kitselman grew pale and sad. This went on for two weeks then the “Daily” said Mr. Wicks was to go abroad for an indefinite period and that Mrs. Kitselman was leaving for New York. Soon after the appearances of these announcements she came upon him unexpectedly. Me was lying on his face and she thought there had been an accident. She ran to him and tried to turn him over. “Oh, Mr. Wicks! Gilbert!” she cried. Me rolled over and she started up blushing and con- fused. “Are you hurt?” she stammered. “I thought you were. “No,” he said. “Appearances are deceitful. Pve got to tell you, Mrs. Kitselman—this money of mine is all 75 The Spectrum June, 1922 a hoodoo. I don’t care for the others, I had loads of fun before you came; but now I am caught in my own trap, and I know how it feels. Only Fm not a fortune hunter— and Fm not after your money.” He had drawn himself up proudly. 'Tin writing a book. Fm off day after to- morrow. Good-bye.” She commenced to laugh. “Fm writing a book, too,” she said, “and my money isn’t exactly coin of the realm.” He stared at her a moment, with understanding grow- ing in his face, then he made a quick stride and caught her hands. “Mrs. Kitselman—” “Miss Canton, please—” The rest of the conversation was not made into copy, but to this day Silver Lake hasn’t found out that appearances can be deceitful. 76 June, U)22 The Spectrum Beads Margaret Lynn ADE, amber, pearl, jet—beads of every hue— green, yellow, white, black. Everywhere were beads; some were small, more large; some in short strings, more in long; some real, more imitation; some expensive, more cheap. Sue knew they were cheap, but she also knew that Anna’s birthday would soon be here, only next week. She must have something, and not the usual gift of something useful. At Christmas she had been so disappointed and she couldn’t get out to see the beautiful things in the windows as Sue could. “Here were some more beads.” Sue paused for a moment before an expensive jewelry store and watched the sun’s rays glitter on jewels of all kinds, and especially on some strings of beads. She watched a clerk take a beautiful necklace of perfectly matched pearls from the show case. As she passed on she sighed, “How Anna would love those beads.” “Only sixty cents and Anna must have a present, but everything, even little things, were so expensive!” Sue went into a narrow side street, and again paused before a jewelry store and more beads. In the show window lay a necklace of white beads about the same length and size as those in that other shop. They weren’t lustrous like those others, but at least they weren’t useful. Sue turned her head this way and that in her effort to read a price tag fastened to them. “Forty-nine cents! Then it wouldn’t take all the lunch money I have saved.” As she went in she thought, “It won’t be much, but I shall find out all about pearls at the library, and tell her. She will love that.” When the birthday came, early in the morning, a happy, crippled girl fingered something white about her throat that “wasn't useful” and listened to the story of a pearl. Later, on that same day, a girl of the same age, in a home where there were many other things that “weren’t useful,” exclaimed fretfully, “Oh, mother, more beads!” She was the receiver of those beautiful, perfectly matched pearls.

Is not this merely another word for the paths and channels of civilization, the thoroughfares of progress? And arc not the men who open these highways and by-ways to the world the individuals to whose efforts we are in- debted for our institutions, customs, and ideals, and in whom we take such pride? Are not these trail breakers in every sense of the word? We are apt at times to think that the day of the pioneer is past, that we can only imitate and follow. Depend upon it, the average individual of centuries past harbored the same thought. If everyone had been a trail breaker in some line or other, we might be able to dispense with our originality and initiative and simply enjoy ourselves. As it is. our predecessors have left us several unexhausted lines of endeavor to ponder upon and to develop. In fact the higher we climb, the more potentialities we see awaiting us. Thus we inherit the privilege of our forefathers. To us are possible the joys of creating. Ours is the privilege and the opportunity of opening the doors and chartering the ways to the attainment of unestimated possibilities. S3 The Spectrum June, 1922 DEMOCRACY AT JEFFERSON Harvey Russell Jefferson! His very name suggests the most outstand- ing feature of our school—democracy. He in his time was the greatest leader of the common people. We in ours have justly earned our nickname, the Democrats. We care not who our classmates are. What they are is the only thing that counts with us. Their past does not matter. Their future we leave to them. It is the present and the present alone that we care to know. Sons and daughters of the prominent and of the obscure mingle as one, unaware of any difference. We go through our four years of high school life without knowing with whom we are shoulder to shoulder. We thank you, Jefferson, for this spirit. We are much better off for it. In after years our training here will aid us to mingle with one and all. It will prove the foundation of a much greater degree of happiness than we might other- wise attain. Let us all hope that these conditions will continue, and let us all do our best to make democracy the hi§hest of Jefferson’s High Standards. SAY SOMETHING NICE Irene Upson When you say something about someone, say something nice! Don't say, “Isn't her hat a fright?” If you can’t con- scientiously praise her hat leave that out of the conversa- tion and hunt for something about her that you can praise. A slighting remark may mean little to you, but to the owner of the new spring creation, it would, if overheard, be the ruination of a whole day. Even a ruined day may mean little to you since it isn’t your day, and yet— Suppose you should overhear someone you liked, and who you supposed liked you, say about you, “Yes, I sup- pose she’s all right, but she is a- dreadful fool.” Then it’s vour day that is ruined. Speaking well of people is as much a habit as speaking ill of them. It is as easy to form one as the other, but speaking well of people brings more happiness to all con- cerned. So when you say something about someone, Say something nice! 84 June, 1922 The Spectrum “A LESSON TO YOUNG MEN” By Galo M. Lim “Energy and Ambition are splendid virtues, but they will not carry a man to the top unless he also has original ideas of a practical nature and sufficient courage and initiative to transform his theories into actual, working plans.” It is said that today some schools are burdened with many young men, who, perhaps because they are reared in an environment over which they have no control, are the logical product of sportiveness. In brain and health they are the equal of other young men, and, given the blessing of hardship, might develop into useful members of society. But they have been coddled from the cradle, perfumed and powdered, and laid away in lavender from infancy to near- maturity, and the schooling age finds them unable to do anything except to promote the manufacture of clothing and reduce the supply of cigarettes. This type of young man may loaf and spend money to fatten his vanity, and strut before the ladies and his fellow students. Harvesting envy is his keenest pleasure. But besides smoking cigarettes, there is another thing these average young men desire to gain: it is proficiency in the art of punching a white ball with a stick in a manner that will persuade it to herd a colored ball into a pocket. These young men were not born to uselessness, unfortunately they were born to parents who knew too much about social etiquette and not enough about the business of training men. If these young men will only realize their future and employ a new idea in their minds such as self-reliance, in the future their own country, or perhaps even the world, will be proud of them. The boy who is built of the right material—and this classification includes all except the men- tally unfit—can make a man of himself if given an oppor- tunity. But speaking of opportunity, opportunity does not mean advantages, but trials. Race horses are not made by stall-feeding colts. Speed is developed on the track, and not in the lazy comforts of knee-deep pasture. Teach a boy obedience, industry and love of books, and he has sufficient equipment to reach any goal. When he has mastered these essentials, lead him to the world and shut the doors behind him. Let him play life alone and win through or go down, according to his ways. Shed no soft tears for his misery. Take no thought of his crusts. When he has earned the right to live, he will know himself his best friend, and may be trusted with wealth and responsibilities. He may learn that he possesses the most valuable jewel in the world, and that is the jewel behind his own forehead! 85 The Spectrum June, 1922 LOAFER’S RULES Verx Casebeer A little study, few strokes of pen Bring success now and then. ❖ Open your book and use your eyes, But don’t bluff, for someone'll get wise. Skipping is ripping while it lasts; If you get caught, you’re a thing of the past. You try to fool the teacher by little tricks, Then at the end of the quarter you go to her and kick. $ $ $ Rolling bums gather no moss, It’s all their worry, not our loss. sjs Systematic study for an hour or two Reaps many a harvest all on you. If you don’t pay attention You get a little detention. Bells are rung, and school is o’er; Don’t close your books to open no more. Do not attempt to get to class on time. It is wasted energy. You can blame Spring Fever. ❖ Never be seen taking a book home. People might think you a “prude” or a “sissy.” ❖ ❖ Why should you bring a pen or pencil to school? You can always borrow one and you are not liable to need one at school anyway. •!' -I' •!� If you use a library book just mark it up as much as you please. The librarian has plenty of erasers to erase the marks. vj Eating and sleeping are easy; do them. iY Don't learn too much, because, if you do, you'll have to answer myriads of questions. 86 June, 1922 The Spectrum It’s easier to say “I don’t know” than answer a long question. ❖ Don’t waste your strength carrying text-books to class. Trust to luck that you'll find the right one in the desk in which you sit. « r Why waste ten cents buying high school pads? You can always borrow enough from the other students each time you need some. ❖ . Don’t hurry in fire drills. You won’t burn up: and hurrying always uses such a lot of energy. Don’t sit on the stairs. Mack has enough work to do already without bothering to sweep you off. Dreaming during class periods usually plays havoc. ❖ ❖ Never stand up to recite. The students and the teacher don’t care to hear what you have to say. Take the end seat in an empty row in the auditorium and never move to let others in. • Don’t bother to study your lessons for you can bluff your way through. Use the nearest stairs as they are the handiest. Never exert yourself. ❖ Get the habit of standing around halls during vacant periods. It adds to the dignity of the school. ❖ P� e slow and keep to left so you will be sure to bump into those who are quick and keep to the right. Loafers, get the habit of chewing gum: you look lost without it. $ Lunch on the street-cars, it attracts attention to your good manners. a Mumble when you recite, we know it couldn’t be worth while what you say. 87 June, 192?.

There was a moaning deep and low While trees were tossing to and fro. It rose and whirled at me with glee, The leaves that now had liberty. It tugged and tore me with delight Until I felt that I must fight. I braced myself, my arms flung wide, And challenged it to win my side. With shriek and cry at me did tear, As if upon its wings would bear. Then half-way there it faltered, turned, And let me stand, completely spurned. With gathered force, and mocking cry It swept the storm clouds from the sky. Was I a man too weak to stand The force, dealt out by God's own hand ? He made us both; we are the same In that, we take, we make, or tame. 89 Mr. Jenkins’ Gold Medal Award The gold medals given each term by Mr. Jenkins to the two Seniors who have made the highest average in scholar- ship during their high school course were won this semester by Lois Scroggin and Clarence Kalk.

Never before has a class play met with such enthusiasm, not only from the student body, but from friends and critics. An excellent cast of twenty-two students under the direction of Miss Nina Greathouse presented this play and succeeded in arousing the admiration of its severest critics for the naturalness and ability of its actors. The spontaniety and pathos of Imogene Lewis, who played the leading role of Judy Abbot, completely won the hearts of her audience. Frank DeSpain had a very diffi- cult part to play, but there never was a better Jervis Pendle- ton than he, with his perfect poise and distinguished air. The caste also included: Madeline Taker as Miss Pritch- ard; Enid Kirkwood as Mrs. Pendleton; Ruth Parks. Julia Pendleton; Muriel McCutcheon, Sally McBride; Mildred Whitcomb, Miss Lippitt; Helen Long, Mrs. Semple; Lenora Spiedel, Sadie Kate; Evelyn Karr, Gladiola Murphy; Esther Shaw, Mamie; Aasta Kyllo, Loretta; Richard Wynne, James McBride; Alfred Simon, Cyrus Mykoff; Edmund Ford, Abner Parsons; Cyril Gloyn, Freddie Perkins; Willard Leihy, Mr. Griggs; William Pitzer, Walters; Gertrude Heck- man, Maid of Act II; Eleanor Shaffer, Maid of Act III; Fern Perry, Maid of Act IV. More than 2400 persons witnessed the two performances and the net proceeds was estimated at $600. The success of the play is due, largely, to the untiring efforts of Miss Greathouse. Every day for practically two months and several evenings of the last weeks were spent in rehearsing to which Miss Greathouse devoted her entire time. Her encouragement, sympathy and patience with the caste were fully appreciated by all members of the class, and we gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to her. ♦ ♦ ♦ MEMBER OF THE ’22 CLASS HAS UNUSUAL RECORD George D. Austed, a member of the June ’22 class, has the distinction of having earned the largest amount of any- one in the class—$12,000, and of having met adventures in the securing of a high school education that rival fairy tales. 93 The Spectrum June, 1922 George, now 19 years of age, started high school in 1916, at the age of twelve years. After three and one-half terms in attendance at Jefferson, he left school and joined the United States Spruce Production Division, where during the war he helped get out spruce for airplanes. Later, he joined the United States Shipping Board Service, and served on ships operating between the Pacific Coast and England. While in this occupation, he worked himself up from seaman to quartermaster of his ship. During the voyages he saw a great deal of England, the West Indies, and the Panama Canal Zone. Mr. Austed visited all of the principal his- torical points in all of those localities. In 1919 he joined the Remount Service of the Quarter- master Division of the army and served on the Mexican border, where he familiarized himself further with that region. In 1920, he received an honorable discharge, and left the army with the rank of first class private and rating of specialist, fourth class. Mr. Austed next joined the Railway mail service as a substitute railway mail clerk. He still holds that position at the time of writing, working in the Northwestern Di- vision, a section comprising Oregon, Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. During the past seven years George Austed has earned a total of over twelve thousand dollars, of which four thou- sand and fifty dollars have been earned while attending high school. Counting his attendance, he graduates from the Com- mercial course in three years, and he intends to continue his education either in the University of Washington, or in the University of Oregon. In all of his experiences, Mr. Austed considers the time he spent at sea the most interesting. Several times while on board ship he was forced to aid in manning the pumps and to help stoke the fires, when the ship was imperiled in a heavy seaway. During the last month Mr. Austed has had a difficult time in keeping up his studies along with the mail service work. He is obliged to study in order to maintain his posi- tion on the mail service, which makes it seem as if he were attending two schools. Jefferson is rightly proud of George Austed, for he has achieved a record of which anyone might be proud and a precedent that is not likely to be surpassed. 94 June, 1922 The Spectrum ■a 3lu jHcnumeun DR. EARL J. GOODE DIED APRIL 30, 1922 Earl J. Goode graduated from Jefferson High School in 1914. Later he entered the Oregon Chiropractic College, from which institution he graduated in 1916. After serving in the Oregon State Legisla- ture in 1917, he enlisted with the Medical Unit of the 318th Engineers of the A.E.F. In the Argonne Woods he was gassed, from the effects of which he never re- covered, finally making the complete, supreme sacrifice. The Spectrum June, 1922 The Crocus Alice Burt Oh, lonely little crocus, First beauty of the spring, Know you of the pleasure That you surely bring? Do you realize the rapture That you cause to nearly all ? Are you made with power of vision To see what you recall? If we told you all our troubles, All our worries and our pain, Tell me, little crocus, Do we tell in vain? Or maybe you are senseless To all our petty trials, And if you are, oh, crocus, Then you have cause to smile! JANUARY ’23 CLASS A scholarship contest is being held between the seventh term rooms and we are all working harder than usual to reach the highest place. The January ’23 class has decided to purchase a bronze statue as a reward for the winning room. We are bending our energies now toward our act for the Live Wire Vaudeville. Our class has in it many members of exceptional talent and so with the combined efforts of all we should produce something really worth while. We are working out several plans which we will dis- close sometime in the future which keep us very busy, but we are forging ahead nevertheless. —Dorothy Ettinger, Secretary. PI DELTA EPSILON As the term is now drawing to a close, the Pi Delts are confident that this term the club has really accomplished a great deal. Although the Pi Delts were not allowed to put on their semi-annual Pi Delt Assembly this term, on account of the great number of assemblies which have had to be called lately, the members of the club who have participated in and given speeches in the assemblies have given a very excellent example of the work which this organization pro- motes. Some very successful and interesting programs have been staged in the meetings this term. Also the Pi Delts have never ceased in their efforts to benefit the school. The latest thing that Pi Delts have planned to do is to stage a benefit for the fund to erect a memonal for the Jefferson boys who fought in the World War. One of the most enjoyable and successful affairs of the term was held on April 28 in the school gymnasium, the occasion of the semi-annual Zeta-Pi Delt dance. The second point meeting with the Zetas for the term was held recently. A debate between the two organizations featured the program. Plans are now being made for the semi-annual banquet, which all Pi Delts are eagerly looking forward to. “By the sign of the Owl, ye shall know us.” —Calder McCall, Secretary. 97 � The Spectrum June, 1922 JEFFERSON TRAILS CLUB The Trails Club has been very busy this term and has gone on a number of excellent hikes in spite of the weather conditions. During the first part of the term a trip to Larch Mountain and a couple of local hikes were taken. During the Easter vacation two members of the club, Rex Karr and Roy Gibson, attempted to make Wahtum Lake over the Eagle Creek trail, a feat not yet accomplished this year. The trip was very hazardous on account of the dangerous condition of the trail. Plans have been made for a four-day hike during the Decoration day vacation, on which we will take a pack train between Lost Lake and Wahtum Lake and put up signs for the Forest Service. Besides the semi-annual banquet held at the end of each term, there will be a party at the home of Hyman Samules about the middle of May. —James Shaver, Secretary. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is nearing the completion of a very successful term. We have taken many enjoyable hikes, the most important being to Beaverton, Oswego Lake, and Scappoose Creek. There will be many vacancies to be filled with the begin- ning of the fall term as many of our members are graduat- ing in the June class. The Senior members are very sorry to leave the club but wish it great success in the future. —Beatrice Palmer, Secretary-Treasurer. ROOTERS’ CLUB The term is now drawing to a close and everyone is looking forward to the summer vacation, but the members of the Rooters’ Club feel confident that this term has been the most successful one since the organization of the club. The members now have their pins; they are small, blue and gold megaphones. The members with their recently-acquired jazz-caps and . megaphones have been one hundred per cent in attendance at every game of the season. Although many of the members will graduate this term, we hope to fill their ranks, in the coming term. By the sign of the voice, shall ye know 11s. —Leo Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. 98 June, 1922 The Spectrum BOYS’ RADIO CLUB Now that tlie term is nearly over, the members of the Radio Club are looking forward to the summer vacation when they will have more time for radio development. Although the Radio Club is a new organization at Jef- ferson, very much has been accomplished this term. The pin has been selected; it is a small audion tube. Interesting programs have been presented at every reg- ular meeting. The organization was started at the end of last term, and have proved to be a very live club, as the members have taken an active interest in it. We have had a pleasant term together. All the Senior members bid a sad adieu to the club and wish it success in the future. —Leo Smith, Secretary. ❖ THE GIRLS’ RADIO CLUB On Monday, April 17, a few girls who believe that radio is just as much a subject of study for girls as boys, met and formed the first girls' radio club to be formed in the city. As the news of the club spread, names of eager “would bes” began flowing in, and now we have a large, enterprising club. Many of the girls planned to make and set up their own radio apparatus. Mr. Pearson aided by giving us a very interesting lecture on “How to set up a radio.” We have already taken up the study of the code and have become very proficient in receiving messages in the code language. For a new club we think we have accomplished a great deal this term and hope that we shall be still more successful next term. Elinor Williams, Secretary. NAEMPHI The Naemphi has been so busy lately that the janitor has been the only person able to disband the meeting. Hikes, parties, and programs, together with the intense work on the “stunt” for the Live Wire Vaudeville are listed on the program of work. It has not been definitely decided whether the Naemphi shall continue another term or not, but if it does not, the Naemphi closes its career with the sincerest hope that it has been a help to the school as well as to the pedagogy girls. Alice Enquist, Secretary. 99 The Spectrum June, 1922 THE KANADAKAS The Kanadakas have finished a very successful term, during which the members have taken many enjoyable hikes. Programs replaced trips the first of the term because of the inclement weather. Later on, short walks were taken after school and longer hikes were enjoyed on Saturdays. Such places as the St. Johns terminals and St. Johns by way of the Linnton road were visited. A few of the girls took advantage of an invitation to go to Laura Stickler's home at Sherwood for the Easter vacation. Since the object of the club is also to study nature, hik- ing has not been our only diversion. Lois Scroggin, Secretary. THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club looks back on the second term of its ex- istence with pride for the success it has reached. Recently Thelma Long wrote to Fritz Kriesler, the famous violinist, concerning the value which he places upon the study of Latin. She has not, as yet, received a reply. Helen Shank had charge of the program for the last meeting in April, which was the manner in which an old Roman teacher in- structed his pupils in history by showing the statutes of famous men. There is a long waiting list for next term and each person on the list has been approved by the teach- ers according to our high scholarship standard. Anna Vesta Williams, Ardile. TRI-ELLE CLUB The Tri-Elle Club has so much to report that it is diffi- cult to get it into the short space allowed us. This term the girls decided to combine a “kid” party they were intending to have, with the regular initiation party, and the result was very successful. Some cunning children’s cos- tumes were in evidence, and fruit punch, animal crackers and ice cream cones satisfied the “kids” present. A number of girls were initiated and over forty were present. In March, the club heard a wonderful talk by Miss Reid, who was in Armenia two years doing relief work among the children. She had many pictures with her which plainly showed the pitiable condition of the Armenians; and sev- eral articles of dress, all of which helped us understand the people about whom the talk was given. Later, Katherine McAyeal, accompanied by our famous Ukele Orchestra, sang a Hawaiian number. Refreshments were served, and the members and their guests reported the meeting as being a great success. 100 June, 1922 The Spectrum The club is following a line of study which is not only very interesting, but is giving the girls lots of new ideas as to what is considered good art in home furnishings, and what is not. We are using an outline put out by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and in the last month two worthwhile meet- ings have been held with this as the subject. The first was “Color Scheme,” including the psychology of color. Ruth Moore brought in some fine material. The other was on “Woodwork, Floors, etc.” Irma Cobb who had charge of the program, showed a large number of beautiful pictures, samples of woods, and booklets loaned 11s by the Technical and Art Departments of the Library. Some of the members are going very soon to “The Chil- dren’s Home” in South Portland to help make a pleasant afternoon for the children there. The philanthropic com- mittee is making arrangements for the meeting. As are all the J. II. S. clubs, the Tri-elle’s are trying to hunt up a stunt acceptable for the Live Wire Vaudeville. You may or may not see us appear, but anyway we’re here! —Martha Olson, Secretary. JEFFERSON HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y’s of Jefferson have made a wonderful record this term. We have had the largest attendance throughout the term; have led in inter-council activities, and have begun things which will be carried out in future terms by the members of the Hi-Y Club. At the Seaside Conference on March 31, April 1 and 2, the club had the largest attendance both at the conference and in the numerous sessions, where many activities were led by our members. Mr. Lawrence, who was a new mem- ber of the Hi-Y Club this term, was elected President of the conference. At the meeting of the club on May 1, 1922, a new mem- ber was taken in to fill the place of Phillip Swank, who was forced to drop out of school on account of illness. The new member, Donald Jennings, who is a third termer, re- ceived the unanimous vote of the club to fill the vacancy. Remember Jefferson’s high standards. —Edmund F. Ford, Secretary. TRI Y’s As a beginning of our work at Jefferson the Tri Y’s held a vocational assembly for seventh and eighth term girls. In the near future we are planning to have a novelty lolly- pop sale. —Helen Martin, Secretary. 101 The Spectrum Jane, 1922 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is closing the term with a larger membership than it has ever had. Two hundred and eighty girls have kept the singing of the school going under the direction of Mr. George Wilbur Reed. In several of the assemblies Beatrice Palmer, a sweet soprano, introduced a number of new songs to the student body. Six girls and six boys are being trained by Miss Greathouse and Mr. Reed for a skit for the vaudeville. The club has to its credit this term a number of new classical songs, includ- ing “The Pilgrim Chorus” from Tanhauser. —Ann a-Vest a Williams, Secrtary. sj: :1; a}: LIVE WIRES Plans are under way for the best vaudeville that has ever been presented in Jefferson High School. The com- mittee has done everything in its power to make this a success. Mr. Anderson, President, attended a conference at University of Oregon, April 14, 15, 16, where he repre- sented the students of Jefferson. The Live Wires have done well in selling tickets this year, which is shown by the support the students have given in backing every movie. —Ray Bolger, Secretary. 5 ,: BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The “Thrift Shop Musical Comedy will be presented in the vaudeville by both Glee Clubs. Six members of each club have been working diligently on this act and it prom- ises to be a headliner. Mr. Reed and Miss Greathouse are spending much time on this to make it a success. We expect to sing several songs at the Memorial Day assembly, one of which was written by Mr. Reed, our di- rector. “Lend an ear to our musical charm.” —Ray Bolger, Secretary. THE KLATAWAS Have you noticed those small gold pins in the form of a pack sack with a small “K” on them? They represent the Klatawas. Several very enjoyable hikes have been taken lately. One was to Oswego Lake. We went by way of Lake Grove which is located on the Boones Ferry Road, and returned by way of Oswego. Many interesting snapshots were taken along the road. Since the weather is beginning to behave, we expect to have many more hikes before school closes. —Helen Holst, Secretary. 102 Spectrum Staff Class Play Cast mm January ’23 Class Girls' Glee Clubs Iw-iraa � mutt . —I Fike Squad Zeta Delta Sigma Spanish Club Hr Y Club sanna ihj.

There is the farm-house so shady and cool, Surrounded by flowers and by trees ; Here a field of bright clover and there yellow grain, Rippling lightly when stirred by the breeze.

FRENCH DEPARTMENT Gertrude 1 Iarris, Editor Aristocratic I’n anglais de bonne famille passait quelque temps en Amerique. Un de ses amis Americains lui donna un diner d' adieu, avant son depart. II lui demanda son impression de peuple Americain en general. L'anglais repondit qu'il Faimait beaucoup mais qtt’il y avait quelque chose que leur manquait. Cetait que les Americains n’avaient pas d'aristocratie comme en Angleterre et cela etait un defaut dans la societe. 11 definit Faristocratie comme les gens qui ne font rien dont les peres n’ont rien fait; les gens qui ne travaillent jamais.

And rarely was at home. She was fond of entertaining And on matching colors bent, And told her friends that she possessed The artistic temperament. The draperies at the windows Were decidedly a blue. And all the other objects Were of that color too. She possessed a fluffy kitten Who insisted on reclining On the chair beside the window, Or the table used for dining. He was white and spoiled her color-scheme, So Mary tried a “fake ’ And dyed poor kitty’s snow-white coat The tint of “Crater Lake.” The cat demurred to little use, The dye was there to stay; Xo longer could she roam about Or with other kittens play.

La razon convence, las lagrimas con- nuieven. El hombre es capaz de todos los heroismos; la mujer es capaz de todos los martirios. El hombre es un codigo; la mujer es un evangelio. El codigo corrige, el envangelio perfecciona. El hombre es un templo; la mujer es sagrario. Ante el templo nos descubrimos, ante el sagrario nos arrodillamos. El hombre piensa; la mujer suena. Pensar es tener en el craneo un larva; sonar es tener en la frente una aureola. El hombre es el oceano; la mujer es el lago. El oceano tiene la perla que adorna; el lago, la poesia que deslumbra. El hombre es el aquila que vuela; la mujer, el ruisenor que canta. Volar es dominar el espacio; cantar es conquistar el alma.

Uno dc Ios jovenes, siendo de un intrepido y barbo genio dijo: ‘'Hare ir mi automovil tan rapidamente que quebre todos recuerdos previos.” Asi, lo hizo, y huyo por la pequcna cuidad como un rojo demonio perseguiendo su botin. No atendiendo todos los obstaculos en su furiosa carrera, su automovil colidio con un pared de roca, y se hizo on pedazos. Tambien el joven era matado. El otro joven, siendo de un timido y tardio genio, partio con muclia cautela y movo lentamente, pausando frecuente- mente, para que no colide con nada.

Ella era en una casa extranjera porque ella era tornando cuidado de la ninita Floretta quienes padres liabian obtenido Rosita para tomar cuidado de la ninita. Muchas lecciones tuvo Rosita pero antes de saber las ella estuvo durmiendo. Al tiempo se llevanto. jOyd un ruido! Pobre Rosita. iQue liacer ? Al tiempo se recordo que fue un telefono en un cuarto proximo. Muy lentamente y muy tranquilamente, tomo el recibilo y dijo al central. Dame Main 7702 muy pronto.— Halo. Vengan a 902 Calle Washington.” Parecia muchos aiios al pober Rosita antes de la policia vinio. Pero al momento, Rosita oyo un ruido, j Hay la ninita Floretta! ± Que liacer para pobre Rosita ? Pero era muy brava y fue a la cama de la ninita y alii veo un hombre. Ntinea antes de esa noche y nunca despues habia tenido miedo Rosita tanto mucho. Pero el hombre dijo, “Que tal.” 140 June, K)22 The Spectrum “iQuien 'es Yd? dijo Rosita. “Soy cl tio del Floretta y acabo de venir de Xueva York. ;Y cjuien es Vd?” “Soy Rosita, la muchacha que es tornando cui dado de la ninita por esta noclie,” dijo ella. AI momento hay ruido al puerto. “Es la policia, exclamo Rosita. El tio fue al puerto y dijo toda de el caso. Rosita sintio muy tonta pero los padres y el tio de Floretta le laudieron y dijieron que Rosita fue muy bueno y brava. —Frances Works, Junio '22. Entre marido y mujer: El.—i No bubo ningun imbecil que te hizo el amor antes de tu matrimonio? Ella—Si. El.—Pues debiste casarte con el.

I’m not in a hurry, So please give me time and don’t shove me. A Jack of all trades must she be though, Who knows how to darn and to sew, For in case I am sick, And lose all my kick, She can keep the home fires aglow. I’ve looked over town to be fair. But prospects Fve seen have been rare, Flappers are here And Flappers are there, But Flappers from me—Oh, please spare! If there's such a girl to be found. Who’s all good, and all safe, and all sound, lust tell me alone Orj ingle the phone, And I'll start in lookin' around. 142 Do you remember when— Willard Leihy put his foot in the salad on the E4s picnic ? Gault Patton used to sing for us in Monday morning assemblies ? Walter Malcolm was president of the Live-Wires? Lawrence Riddle was our yell leader? Clifford Powers was a dear little Freshman? Vern Casebeer was in the Glee Clui)? Walter Kelsey won his first track letter? Lenora Speidel came from Seattle to Jefferson? Jeff won the football championship ? (1919.) Cyril Gloyn was a little boy? Dick Wynne was bashful? No, never! Bud Anderson started to high school? Nadine Ahrendt wore her hair down? Jefferson was in the old Shaver School? Frank Lacy was leading man in “A Strenuous Life ? Margie Taylor had long hair? Alice Glover wore glasses? Enid Kirkwood didn’t grace (?) our halls? When the senior girls didn’t wear puffs? There weren’t any portables? All the seniors were freshmen? Russell'Burton played first base on the baseball team? Virginia Broughton (Earle’s big sister) was editor of The Spectrum? $ Just think. Jeff is going to exist without us! Ask Dallas Nollsch why he likes the West Side so well. Madeline Baker seems to have run out of something to do since the class play.

Cyril Gloyn in patches? WE WONDER— Why girls are so changeable. Who put the overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s chowder. When we will get caught skipping. Where winter has gone to. Why we all liked Margery Maxwell so much. Why the last lap is always the longest to the track man. What makes the first ten terms always the hardest for a Latin student. Why, the older the fellow, the younger the girl. Mow many subjects we flunked in. Who it is pushes the fire siren for the fire drills. If we will ever get to know anything. Who it is selects the blue for Monday; why not pink or orange? 144 June, 1922 The Spectrum At the January '23 Get-together the President brought the Vice-president, the Sergeant-at-Arms brought the Sec- retary, and the Treasurer—who did he bring? Gee! I'll be glad when this evening’s over, said Ralph Staley at the January Get-together Party, but just the same he had a fine time and liked the decorations. Joe Frazer stagged it at the January party but still he had a full program. Pretty nice, Joe. ❖ The decorations at the June '22 Get-together were “some punkins”, weren’t they? The January team was heard in the locker room just before the interclass basketball game singing “Just Before the Battle, Mother.” Does Ruth Light weigh much ? Where is the picture which Preston drew? What size shoe does William Foot wear ? Frank Faust should go in for opera. “Anybody have a bar on me?” asked Joel Hertsche. Can Ruth Park in the restricted district? Fred couldn’t Waite until he would graduate, so he left 11s. We should like to hear Walter Carol. Does Yorke Herron own a fish market? Was Hazel May born in June? Baird isn’t so little as might seem by his name. How long will Helen be gone? Does Violet drive a Pierce and Gladys a Lincoln? What would Russel do in a situation like that ? Garland Juede liked the punch at the Get-together Party. Will Richard Wynne? James doesn’t live on Shaver street nor Harvey on Russell street. “Hi. there,” said Denny Lowe. The reason Ed Ford can’t afford a Ford is because he lives on Skidmore street, and it would keep him broke buy- ing tires. Elbert isn’t going to O. A. C. to become a Gardner. He is already one. John Houser should put up an apartment to rent. 145 The Spectrum June, 1922 Dorothy Sterling is a descendant of Long John Silver. James Keys’ father is a locksmith. Frances isn’t always Frison. Marjorie is a sister to the Great Alexander, the magician of the June '22 Class circus. Just stand aside and watch yourself go by; Think of yourself as ‘die” instead of T Pick flaws; find fault: forget the man i£ you, And strive to make your estimate ring true. The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink, Love’s chains grow stronger by one mighty link, When you with “lie” as substitute for “I”, Have stood aside and watched yourself go by. —From “Roycroft” 146 — Comedy of School Chief Characters Stage Name Favorite Line Temperamental Weakness Ahlstrom, Ruth................ .....“Ruth” .......

The cry, I need some powder,” has become a fixed habit with some of our fair maidens. While we realize that powder smooths the complexion and that rosy cheeks may be bought for ioc a box, nevertheless, the Specter firmly believes that the Jefferson girls do not as yet need such artificial means of ruining the complexion.

BROTHERS In the last few years we have heard much of that grand and glorious organization, the Fool- shericii. All over the universe the opnrcsscd arc rising ag.inst the oppressors. If others arc revolting against this terrible tyranny, why cannot wt follow in their footsteps? Why, O fellow sufferers, who arc more op- pressed than we? Wc arc not allowed to hold races in the halls! Wc are not allowed to skip classes!! Why, we arc not even allowed to slide down the banisters!!! Therefore, let us follow the example of that great sect of bene- factors, the Foolshcrcs, and overthrow the op- pression of the faculty. All the brothers and sisters in favor of the plant set forth herein will refuse to attend school after the sixteenth (16) of June and will remain on strike for two and a half (2l i) months.

BASEBALL SQUAD WINS OPENER Coach White's sterling swatters lowered Franklin's hopes of a baseball championship by defeating the Quakers by a score of 4 to 3 on April 20. A fairly large crowd was present and the fans were kept in an uproar from the time Johnny Harkens cut the plate with the first strike until Shorty Broughton struck out the Franklin hurler in the last of the ninth. Jeff scored twice in the second inning. Captain Mini- na ugh beat out a hit to short, advanced to second when Hobson threw wild to first, went to third on West's sacri- fice, and scored on a bunt by Anderson. Westerman scored Anderson a few minutes later with another bunt. The Democrats scored two more runs in the fourth. Anderson hit and stole second. Sergeant walked. An- derson scored and Sergeant went to second on Wester man’s hit. Sergeant stole third and crossed the plate on a sacri- fice by sisk. That ended the scoring for Jefferson. F. Harkins marked up the Quaker’s first tally in the third when he hit, stole second, went to third on Johnson's sacrifice, and scored when he and Slade, who had walked, pulled a double steal. In the seventh Halley walked, stole second, and scored on J. Markin’s hit. Sfade scored in the eighth, after he had secured his second free pass to first, on a long hit by East. “Shorty” Broughton showed his fight in the ninth. The Quakers had caused trouble in the eighth, and came up in the final frame expecting to put the game on ice. “Shorty” made a hero of himself by fanning Walgren, Hally and J. Harkins in a row. Slade played a fine game for the losers, both in the field and at the bat. Repp put one of Broughton’s choice offerings in the tennis courts for a two-base hit in the second inning but was unable to score. Westerman and Anderson, with two hits each, shared the limelight with Broughton for Jefferson.

Except in the first inning, the Blue and Gold nine was never in danger, and before the contest was called in the seventh, the win- ners had run up a score of 14 to 2. The Colonials scored twice in the first inning on two walks, a hit. an error, and a passed ball. However, from this time on, Broughton held his opponents to two hits, both of which were of the scratchy variety. Jefferson took the lead in the second inning when four hits accounted for three runs. In the third inning four hits, coupled with two walks, accounted for four runs. Two hits and a walk gave the Democrats two more runs in the fifth, while in the sixth five runs were scored on two walks, three hits, and three errors. Umpire Davis called the game in the seventh, before the Jeffersonians had any more chance at bat. “Shorty” Broughton pitched fine ball for the winners, and was not responsible for either of the runs scored by 158 June, 1922 The Spectrum W ashington. The dignified Jefferson mound artist added to his laurels by fanning seven men in the six innings he worked. Jerry Extra had a good day at bat, collecting three singles in five trips to the plate.

In spite of a sore arm, due to the fact that he had only a week of good weather in which to train, the lanky speedball artist was responsible for only one earned run during the games played against Franklin and Washington. “Swede” Anderson and “Bash” Mininaugh had the opportunity to make four athletic letters each during the 1921-22 year. If these boys place in the Interscholastic Track Meet held May 25 to 26, they accomplished the feat which no Jefferson athlete has been able to do since the days of Louis Coulter. Issy Westerman had no serious intention of trying for either the baseball or track teams, but went out a few nights because he had nothing else to do. The little basket ball star surprised everybody (including himself) by be- coming a sensation on both diamond and track. 159 The Spectrum June, 1922 Anderson and Mimnaugh, both of whom were mem- bers of the football team which last fall was defeated by Washington, received even more joy than the other athletes when Jefferson was victorious bv large scores over the Colonials in both basket ball and baseball. Johnny Ashby, a left-handed flinger discovered by Coach White, was given his first chance to show his form in the final inning of the Washington game. After allowing one hit, Johnny tightened up and easily retired the side. Jef- ferson should have several good pitchers next year in Ashby, Boyce, and Jennings. Coach Quigley built up another fine junior relay team this year, and most of the boys used will probably be point winners for Jeff in future track meets. Renshaw, Sim- mons, Frank Mimnaugh, Hamman, Riggs, and Hart have showed fine form in their work this spring, and should de- velop into fast men before they graduate. “Bunny” Sergeant and John and Walter Olney gave Coach White an unusually hard-hitting trio of left-handed batters this season. These boys delighted in slamming the ball up against the building during practice sessions. It will be many a long day before the student body forgets the “speech” Andy made in an attempt to advertise the Washington-Jefferson baseball game. How They Batted The batting averages of the Jefferson baseball stars for the first two games of the season follow: AB. H. Per. Mimnaugh 5 3 .600 Anderson 6 3 .500 Westerman 6 3 .500 Sergeant 4 2 .500 Extra 9 4 .444 T. Olnev 6 2 .333 West 6 2 .333 Broughton 7 2 .286 Tohnson 8 1 .125 Sisk 0 .000 W. Olney 1 0 .000 At the time The Spectrum went to press Jefferson was leading the league in batting with an average of .367. Three of the Democrats went through the first two games without making an error. Johnson, shortstop, and Anderson and Sergeant, outfielders, had fielded their posi- tions perfectly. 160 June, 1922 The Spectrum TRACK TEAM HANDICAPPED BY WEATHER After losing more or less valuable sleep, the members of the various Portland High School track teams were awakened on the morning of May 3 by the sound of rain beating on the roofs of their homes. By ten o'clock they knew that the Relay Meet had been postponed a week, and that they would have to go through the strain of the “night before” all over again. The Jefferson team was in fair condition for the meet, for a week of good weather helped the speedsters make up for the time lost earlier in the year. The new track, which was a big improvement over the one on which former Jeff stars had practiced, was a big aid in unlimbering sore muscles. Although Jefferson was not expected to make a very strong showing in the Relay Meet by the experts, the team, as finally selected by the coach, showed enough strength to make it interesting for the other schools. Following are the lineups Jefferson entered in this meet: 440-Yard Relay—Kelsey, Westerman, Clark and Finch. Mile Relay—Blazier. Giles, Braly and Jones. Two-mile Relay—Kalk, Bollam, Brooks and Overstreet. 880-yard Relay—Kelsey, Westerman, Renshaw and Finch. Medley Relay—Clark, Gardner. Carrol. Wall. JUNIOR EVENTS 440-yard Relay—Morgan, Simmonds, Riggs and Peret or F. Mimnaugh. 880-yard Relay—Morgan. Simmonds, Hamman and Hart. Although The Spectrum went to press too early to record the result of the meet, it is safe to predict that the Jefferson team made a better showing than the critics ex- pected. While Coach Quigley was naturally anxious to win the Relay Meet� he would have been willing to sacrifice the team's chances in this affair if by so doing he could have won the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, which is the big track event of the year for the Portland high schools. Beginning with 1914, Jefferson captured this event every season for eight successive years, and both the coach and the team bent every energy toward making the record nine straight. 161 The Spectrum June, 1922 You can be Willing, Strong, Brainy— But You Can’t Win Until You Are Trained!
