Men have sought me from the first: Fm in a land of endless sand Where a man may die of thirst. The Arabs bold drink my water cold And thank their Allah for me, As they rest in my shade with their journey made And dream of their destiny. I protect the weak when my shelter they seek, A refuge to man and beast; When their goal is won I protect from the sun The caravans from the East. I’m a precious jewel in the desert cruel In whose sands Death leaves no traces. I’m discovered by man between Fez and Soudan, For I am the Oasis. 51 The Spectrum June, 1923 The Indian Chief Frances Bourmu- ll ere, men say, the brave Rowena fell Beside this dark and lonely fir; Here, they say, his body lies, Left by a conquered and mourning tribe. Yet aye I near with chilling fear, For when the storm doth rage in savagery With slashing arms, I see the brave Pursue his foe in awful butchery. But when the storm has passed, While gliding moonbeams play, The gentle breezes waft to me Sad sighs of lonely solitude. Again, in bright sunlight, A chieftain, grim and stern he stands, Silent and still against the blue. Men may tell where the brave chief lies, But him I see in varied guise. Z. Y. X.

During a meeting of the farmers of Cummins County, with their wives and children. Dudley Clark, leading radish producer of the district, arose and announced to the chairman, Grace Mackey, that with the assistance of his partners, Corliss Sherman and Lester Valletta, he had found the solution to the question, “How may odorless onions be raised?” This priceless secret is the one which he had found, but by Mr. Clark's request it cannot be announced to the general public until the new plant has been successfully grown. Till then! Et Tu, Brute! After many years for research and words, Robert Geenty has been able to establish a colony of people who speak only Latin. In it are Frances Bourhill, Anona Joos, Evelyn J'eight, Franklin Manning, Tom Randles and Linger Rowell. They have pledged themselves to speak no language other than the Roman for a period of one year. Mr. Geenty is very anxious that the venture prove a success, and has taken all precautions in order to make their stay a pleasant one.

He wanted to study medicine. No one but himself knew just how strong that ambition was, but there was the farm to be taken care of and no extra money with which to procure an education. Zeb's father and mother were hardworking people. They had hoped all through their son’s seventeen years to give him an education, but they had only been able to keep him in school until he had finished the eighth grade. When he was twelve years old Zeb had founded a hos- pital in the back of the barn, which he very grandly called “The Infirmary”. At the time when this story begins, he had two cats, both in good health but very old. one dog with a broken head, a rooster, which had been fighting, and last but not least, a baby fox which had had its leg mangled in a trap. The boy's parents never objected to his hospital and every day he fed and cared for his patients. Zeb was reading a magazine among his pets one day, when he suddenly came upon the following advertisement: “WENTWORTH CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL Specialization in Pre-Medics. Write for full particulars.” He sat staring at the “ad” for five minutes, then jumped up and ran into the house. Within another five minutes he was sealing an envelope addressed to the “Wentworth Cor- respondence School”. For three days Zeb waited and finally his eager question at the postoffice was rewarded by a large brown envelope. Zeb waited until he reached the “Infirmary”. Then he tore open the envelope and began to read, but his eager look soon vanished. Two hundred dollars! And he had saved hut one hundred, from the eggs which he had been selling. But Zeb Hawkins was not to be daunted. He soon regained his usual cheerful expression and started off for 03 The Spectrum June, 1923 his next door neighbor's woodshed. He stood at the door for a while looking around and finally he found what he was looking for. This happened to be a wheelbarrow piled high with bolts, screws, wire, and pieces of sheet tin. The history of this miscellaneous hardware can be briefly told. Donald West, to whom it belonged, was a middle-aged bachelor, who, in what he termed a wild moment, had bought a small flivver bug. It had proved perfectly satis- factory until one day when he was about ten miles from home, he had driven it into about a foot of mud and no amount of lifting and pushing could get it out again. A friend, who was with him, had suggested taking the car home in pieces. “Because”, lie explained, “it's such a small car, and you could put it together again in no time.” So, with the help of his friend, Donald West took his petrol-plug home in his wheelbarrow. When he got it there he attempted to put it back together again; but when he was finished, he found that he had enough small pieces left over to make another car. Disgusted, he had sold the engine and left the car in the woodshed. Zeb went up the yard to where Mr. West was digging his late potatoes. “Say, West, I’d like to try to put your car together again”, he said. “Well”, answered his friend with a grin, “if you can, you may have the whole shootin’ match.” “Good; I can't any more than try, anyhow.” The next day it rained and, as it was impossible to do any of the farm work, Zeb went over to the West woodshed armed with as many tools as he could carry. He worked hard, from time to time consulting a large text on “Making Your Own Automobile”. By dusk there was the car, slightly battered and worn looking but abso- lutely whole. A few days later Zeb had to go to town with a load of hay and while he was there he drew his precious money from the bank and bought a Ford engine and a large can of green paint. He said nothing about his purchases to his parents, but waited until he had some more spare time, and then he put the engine in the car and gave the latter two coats of paint. When he had finished, lie called Mr. West. The latter was amazed. “Why, Zeb. you're a wonder”, he said. “Now, what are you going to do with it?” “Fd like to have your permission to sell it”, he answered. 64 June, 1923 The Spectrum “My permission !” cried Mr. West. “It’s yours, isn't it?” “Oh, no it isn’t. It was surely worth something to you.” “Well”, said Mr. West, “I’ll tell you what we’ll do. I couldn’t have sold that old junk pile for more than ten dol- lars, so I’ll let you have it for that.” Zeb protested but it was of no use. His benevolent neighbor refused to take another cent. A couple of days later he took the car to town. He left it at the small town garage with instructions to sell it if possible. Within a day the car was sold for two hundred and twenty-five dollars. Zeb was more than delighted. He kept his secret until the family was seated at dinner that evening and then lie told them of his plans. His father and mother both urged him to take the course. Secretly, they had no great hope for him, because, though they knew he could succeed with plenty of time for the lessons, they real- ized that the farm work left him almost no time for study. l ie started on the course at once, studying every night in his room after the rest of the family were asleep. He worked in this manner for six months until he was almost ready for the final examinations. Then the most wonderful thing of all happened. One evening, as his father was reading the paper, he said to his wife: “I see here that the president of Adam’s College has become so interested in the Wentworth Correspondence School that he has offered a complete college scholarship to the boy who can pass the medical examination with the highest honors.” Zeb listened eagerly, and then went quietly upstairs. Every night until the examination he studied until dawn and finally the day came when he mailed his examination papers to Chicago. The days seemed to drag fairly until one day when the long-looked for answer arrived. Zeb opened the letter anxiously and then with a wild whoop he rushed into the kitchen where his mother was cooking the dinner and his father was mending a harness. “Oh! Mother! Oh! Dad! I’ve won the Adam’s Schol- arship,” he cried. 1 lis mother was speechless and his father could only say: “Well, I swan!” G5 The Spectrum June, 1923 Mother Elizabeth Benton White lilacs 'neatli the springtime skies, The budding trees in all their grace Are like the sweetness of Her face. And all the joy that in it lies. The hills that stretch to Far-away, Resplendent ’neath the sunset skies. Hold less of faith than Mother’s eyes Fixed on the beauties of His day. Bright jewels, frank incense and myrrh Should be the portion of her hands, Yet happy—crowned with love—she stands, And o’er all shines the soul of Her. 66 June, 19 3 The Spectrum Observations of a Clock Dorothy Bashaw ANY folks think that a clock is merely an orna- ment, a convenience, a timepiece, but let me assure you that clocks, too, are very observant and know what goes on about them. 1 am what most people call a “grandfather's clock” and dwell in an old- fashioned house filled with antiques and remem- brances of the former days of gallantry, of war and of peace. Today my mind is wandering back and recalling many events and sights among which I have stood. One night when everything was still and I was thinking how weary and uneventful the day had been, I heard a door creak and turning my eyes that way I saw a sight which made me forget to tell the time. A robber, a burglar, a thief, one who deprives another of joys or necessities—was edging his way toward the door of my master’s room. Just as he opened the door, I uttered thirteen loud, long-drawn wails of grief instead of my usual note of one. My master, the family and the servants were awakened and the thief was caught because of my error. Another night as I was starting to forget the hardships of the world and take a rest, a young couple came into the hall where they stood whispering and speaking endearing words and finally—I no longer could keep quiet and I let four short chuckles escape. They hastily parted “because of that old clock”. Many similar sights have I since beheld and sooner or later am I the cause of such trysts being broken. Of ladies and gentlemen many have I beheld1 and stood with pride in their midst while they danced or supped, laughed or courted and made merry until my exclamations would cause the party to be broken up. (Always do I break up the assemblage, it seems.) Then each departing after having said “adieu” would cast a look on my face. Rut of later years, it seems to me that a different type of enjoyment takes place in these spacious halls before my eyes. Where is the stately minuet of long ago? To these new manners and customs 1 can never become quite used. I often snort in disgust or breathe two or three sad thoughts of the days gone by before they now depart. Tis later than it was some years ago. 07 The Spectrum June, 1923 Some nights the moon will come stealing softly in through the window in all her beauty, magnificence and power. She and her fellows, the stars, peek in at me standing alone in the hall which was dark before her beams came to brighten it. and play hide and seek with one an- other. This night, the moon stayed long with me, lighting up the stairs and floor before me, telling many strange experiences, all the while bathing everything in her radi- ance. But, alas, dawn finally came and drove her away from me, and all that next day. I noticed how the sun- beams played hide and seek with one another for my approval. Another afternoon a small lad of six years brought before me two of my fellows—the alarm clock and a dainty wrist watch. Just as we were beginning to converse, he proceeded with unusual observance, curiosity and enjoyment to tear them apart before my very eyes. Imagine my agony upon seeing their fate, and in anguish I cried out thrice. I heard that he was very severely punished and I was most grateful for it. Also, I have witnessed sorrow, caused by the news of disasters in war. Thrice has such news been told before me: first, in the Revolutionary War, next in the Civil War, and last in the World War, and oh, the joy when wounded heroes come home! Weddings and funerals, too, I have seen. The last wed- ding was that of Estelle, one of my beloved companions who formerly sat at my feet playing with her dolls and toys, then reading fairy stories, then pausing only a moment be- fore me as her duties thronged about her. A year ago she left me but she whispered that she wotdd never forget me and so I hope that some day she will again look on mv face. A month ago—it seems a year—my master, beloved by all who knew him. .was laid to rest in his final home. So sad a throng have I never seen and sadly did I moan when lie passed before me for the last time, never more to return, never again to wind me. Would that I might have gone with him! But all departures have not been so sad and many happy arrivals have there been. One especially do I recall, that of a dainty little maid of sixteen with flaxen hair and deep blue eyes, very fair to behold. She and I became great friends, and now that she is mistress of this old mansion, tenderly does she wind me, even confiding secrets to me. What excitement has been taking place this last week! What does it mean? A dray drew up before the door and GS June, 1923 The Spectrum before I realized what was taking place, many of my former friends were being placed in it. Where are they going? I wonder how long they will be absent, for they have not yet returned. How empty the house seems without them; the old pianoforte, the library table, the escritoire of my mis- tress, the old whatnot, the favorite armchair of my master, the walnut buffet, and many other pieces which have been here as long as I. Alas, what misfortunes! Never shall they return and I shall not be here much more for we have all been sold and will have to live in a dusty, untidy second-hand store. No longer do I laugh, but I cry out in .anguish at the neglect and misery which we are sure to experience. I must stop for my voice is failing, my works are rusty and I no longer care to tell of my life. G9 The Spectrum June, 1923 An Unknown River Julian Smith I receive my birth within the earth. Then to the surface I climb; Wild animals abide by my cool side When the sun is in its prime. I flow unseen ’neath a leafy screen, My margin no man has reached; I’m far away from man's power and sway, On my shores no boat has beached. My river-bed old is flecked with gold Which glitters among the sands; But more precious to me than gold can be, Than all the gold in all the lands, Are the timid deer which come silently here To drink, then to whirl and flee; And the birds of the air, so restless and fair, That hover in the sky above me, And the silver trout that dart about. And the flowers and trees by my banks— These things I treasure with a sense of pleasure, For which I give Him thanks. TO The Spectrum June, 1923 A Quilty Conscience Eda Krueger ASTUS JONSING BROWN, you good-for-nothin’ young scamp, you, whah you think you gwinc with that thing.” “Lemme go, Ma,” pleaded Rastus as lie stood in the doorway. “I done ’am a few dimes today.” “You 'arn money,” his mother said sarcastically, “why you ain't got ’nuff intellekshul to evade a cable-call, let alone ’arn money. Just you get common sense then you inquiah red cents. You hear me talking chile? Clear out’n heah now!” Rastus needed no invitation “to evaporate” as Mrs. Brown would have expressed it, but noiselessly let himself out of the door. Me paused, however, at the stoop and with one eye on the house, he slid his kit under the steps. When this was accomplished he started down Crane Alley upon which the Brown dwelling faced, and was whistling the latest tune as he turned onto and walked down Washington Avenue. “Dat boy am de most abstractin' chile under de sun,” his mother exclaimed, as she resumed her work. “He done leave de house ev’ry morning an’ in de evenin’ he come back wifout miffin’ but a mons’ rus app’tite. He gwine heah from me soon. I just ack’sh'ly ring his ears off.” And by way of emphasizing her determination she gave a dripping garment which she had in her hands an extra hard twist. By this time Rastus had reached the business section of town an l as he looked from one store window to another, he began to think of the way he was deceiving his mother. Here she was home washing to support him and here he had his old blackening rig, which his mother expected to be in use now. reposing peacefully under the step. This thought and all the misdeeds he had done that week came to him, and finally these thoughts overpowered him and he ran up Washington Avenue through Crane Alley and home. He then reached under the step, pulled out his rig and was off again. Rastus settled at a busy corner on Washington Avenue and shined one pair of shoes after another until at the end of the day he went home joyously with two dollars in his pocket and an empty stomach. “Hello, Mammy!” Rastus ventured by way of an over- ture. peace or armistice when he had reached home. 71 The Spectrum June, 1923 ‘‘Who dat?” asked Mrs. Brown as she glanced toward the door. “Oh, am dat you? I done resignate from being yuh mammy. Yuh am a disgrace to your family, an’ to think dat yoh granny done cook dinner for General Grant.” Rastus had heard this many times before, but he just sheepishly hung his head. “You gwine hold dat door open all night? I done make no contract for to furnish heat for the whole city.” Rastus closed the door. When could he show his mother what he had earned that day? She was in no mood for it now, but finally an idea struck him. He would put it in an envelope and lay it on her bed. This he did and just in time for he had only time to hide behind the dresser when his mother came in. Rastus was almost suffocating with laughter when he watched all the contortions his mother went through when she found the envelope, and as nature had not supplied him with a noiseless safety valve for his surcharged system, he at last laughed right out loud and gave the whole tale away. The next morning when the sun arose it found the Brown's dwelling a much happier place and Rastus getting ready to stroll down Washington Avenue as lie had done the day before. 72 June, 1923 The Spectrum A Month In Seven Days By Ruth Lee Moore ON DAY—Blue Monday at school as per usual. Didn't have my Latin prose and, according to the comments made by the teacher, the prospect of my graduation is very uncertain; expect to see myself posted on the front board heading the list of “flunks”. Skipped assembly and, as all the rooms were locked up as tight as steel vaults, spent all period walking the halls and dodging persons like myself. Man- aged to get through the rest of the day without any further mishaps and walked home assisted by my friends. Tuesday—Started the day wrong by being late. Never- theless, everything went fine until fourth period in the library when Chuck told me a new Irish joke and in trying to keep from laughing succeeded in swallowing my gum the wrong way and had to be pounded on the back for at least five minutes. As a result, I have been sentenced to a month's non-appearance at the library. “Ah. well, accidents will happen to the best of men,” (isn’t there a proverb some- thing like that?) Rode home after school in Chuck's new Fork coupe. It sure is one fine little car. Am going to hint to Dad very delicately that a duplicate would be a very acceptable birthday gift. Will propose it tonight after sup- per, since he is more likely to be in a receptive mood then. Wednesday—For once. I had an extraordinarily good day. Got to school on time, recited in Latin, only missing about five words out of fifteen, and after a heart-to-heart talk with the “Prep”, managed to be reinstated in the good graces of the librarian. Only at noon did I make a fatal misstep in my hurry to get to the “Dog Joint” and take a toboggan slide down an entire flight of stairs. At the bot- tom, however, beyond a sprained wrist, a skinned elbow, and a general shaken up sensation I found that I was not much worse off for my fall and even beat Chuck across the street. Dad, I am sorry to say, did not respond as fervently to my tactful suggestions about the coupe as I had hoped he would. He seemed to have some misguided ideas about my breaking n v arms and legs and landing in the police station for speeding. I’d like to see the person who put all those ideas in his mind for just about five minutes and I venture to say that T would feel more satisfied in my mind than I do now. Thursday—Owing to Chuck's notion that he must play all the time, we created an awful rumpus today in Chem- 73 The Spectrum June, 1923 istry. The teacher hadn’t come in the lab for some time after the bell had rung and as we didn’t have anything to do. Chuck thought he would see if he could help us. Tempt- ation was close by him in the guise of a box of rubber stoppers, so he helps himself to a couple of them and lets one fly directly at my head. As the psychologist says, instinct made me dodge and I backed directly into a girl’s drawer of apparatus and my helpful elbow assisted it to fall to the floor. I will draw the curtain over the resulting scene for the professor came in just at that minute, but let it suffice to say that we felt ourselves lucky not to have to pay more than five dollars for the wreckage. This tragedy so overshadowed the remainder of the day that any other mishaps seem too trifling to mention. Friday—The thirteenth. This morning as I was walk- ing to school a black cat crossed the street in front of me. My heart sank for I knew that I was doomed for the entire day. It was only too true. Troubles came so fast and furious that all I could do was to bow my head and bear them. The only bright and hopeful thing in all those dreary hours was the fact that could 1 live through this one day, I would have two days to rest from my difficulties. Lady Trouble certainly did have her eye on me for at the dance I went to that night, although ordinarily a fairly decent dancer, I stepped on my partner’s foot so hard that she de- serted me entirely right in the middle of a dance with some distressingly personal remarks about awkwardness. This so utterly crushed me that I went home. Saturday—Today was pay day, and maybe that little yellow envelope didn’t look good to me! Except for a slim dime my personal exchequer had been entirely squandered. However, so much money fairly burned my jx ckets, ergo: I took the girl next door to a show and supper afterwards. Got home about twelve-thirty almost too tired to get into bed. Sunday—Mother routed me out of bed at eight o’clock this morning and forced me to go to church. I almost went to sleep during the sermon, but managed not to disgrace the family by any such conduct. But you can guess that I woke up quite suddenly when I got home and discovered that mother had strawberry shortcake for dinner. A bunch of the girls and fellows came over this evening and we had a dandy time. But since they went home at about eleven- thirty and I didn't have any time to study except then, T have a presentiment that tomorrow will be Blue Monday as per usual. 74 June, 1923 The Spectrum The Worm Turns Lester Vanetta EEKNESS, that admirable quality, when carried to excess, becomes a fault. So it was with Joshua Dibble. Neither strong in body nor in mind, he had been bullied all his life by his schoolmates, his business associates, but especially by his wife. Mrs. Joshua Dibble had many faults, but meek- ness was not one of them. She had married Joshua because she pitied him and because she could manage him. Joshua deserved no pity, because he did not want to think for him- self : nor did his wife deserve blame for making it her duty to take care of him. At his wife’s command Joshua bought an automobile, and at her further command, learned to drive it. The vil- lagers were greatly amused to see the pair come to town. Dibble at the wheel and his wife driving from the back seat. With the coming of summer Mrs. Dibble decided that a vacation at the beach would be very beneficial to poor Joshua's health. So, after careful preparations, the journey was made with much complaining on the wife's part because of the heat, the dusty roads, and the poor driving; and much explaining on the part of the husband in regard to these things. In spite of all this they safely reached the coast. The sight of the ocean thrilled the little man just as the thought of telling about it thrilled his wife. “Let's go for a ride along the beach,” she suggested and he agreed after several half-hearted comments about the danger of the rising tide. The beach made an ideal driveway providing that one avoided the dry sand out of reach of the high tide and the loose drifts at the water’s edge. Mad Joshua known this he would probably never have learned his lesson of self- assertion. “Joshua, you’re gettin’ too close to the water again.” warned his wife. He swung the car out of reach of the gently-lapping waves, but. seemingly of its own volition it again sought the coolness of the water. “I jest want to wash the dust off the wheels. Marthy,” Joshua ventured, steering over a drift of recently deposited sand. Mrs. Dibble was becoming alarmed. “Look out! We’ll —there, see what I told you: we’re sinking in.” It was even as she said: the wheels were sinking in more deeply as 75 The Spectrum June, 1923 the car advanced. Joshua swung to the left and to the right but it was all of no avail. “Let me out of here,” demanded his irate spouse, rising and preparing to flee. Josh Dibble turned and pointed a bony finger at her. “You set down thar,” he commanded. “But we—” “Set down!” He threw the engine into reverse, and craning his neck to the rear, drove with frantic haste back through the tortuous ruts that the machine had made. The engine threat- ened to cease functioning and the wheels did a great deal of unnecessary spinning, but what were these things to that audacious driver! He deftly maneuvered the car out of the drift onto the safer ground. “Land sakes!” exclaimed his wife. “My Josh does beat everything. I didn't know he had it in him.” 70 June, jp 3 The Spectrum The Stranger Sophia Senn OT! Somebody’s been in the cabin!” “Perhaps it was father, coming back after some- thing. He always forgets one thing or another.” “No, this was someone who didn't know where anything was. Besides, the biscuits I made are all gone, and dad wouldn’t have wanted those.” Dorothy went into the cabin to make an inventory of the things that were missing. The floor in front of the table was strewn with crumbs, and the cupboard was a mess. Mabel listed the articles that had been there, while Dorothy checked them off. “Marmalade,” Mabel continued, “—br—” “Marmalade missing! But here’s the empty jar. What’s this?” she asked, upon finding a note tucked into the jar. “Read it, and let’s find out,” Mabel suggested. “ ‘Thanks for the biscuits and marmalade. Rags and I were after matches, but we found something lots better. T hope you won’t miss what we took, but it surely tasted good. K. F.’ ” she read. “It’s a man’s handwriting, Mab. I wonder who lie is?” “ K. F.’ Sounds pretty good! Where do you suppose he came from? I haven't heard of anybody coming up so far lately, and I was only gone a minute.” “That’s long enough. Mabel, dear. But just the same, sis, I don't think dad will care about a few biscuits and a jar of marmalade.” “Let’s eat! I’m starved!” Mabel exclaimed. When Mr. Grant came back towards evening, he was told of the event of the forenoon, and shown the note. “Well, chicks,” lie said quietly, “don’t let it scare you. If he remembers to say ‘Thanks' he isn’t very bad. I'd like to meet him, wouldn’t you, Dot?” Dorothy nodded and smilingly finished her dinner. That evening the three sat bv the log fire and retold their adventures of the day. Suddenly a knock was heard! “Who’s there?” Mr. Grant asked, rising and going to the door. “Your afternoon visitors, Kenneth Ferrol and Rags. Let us in, won’t you? It’s pouring pitchforks and we’re rather wet!” Mr. Grant opened the door, and the stranger walked in, followed closely by a woolly, yellow dog. 77 The Spectrum June, 1923 “Father, haven't you some dry clothes Mr. Ferrol could wear?” Dorothy asked. “Look, won't you, daddy, while sis and I get a bite for him to eat.” The father nodded and smiled and led the young man into his room for a change of clothes. “Isn't he handsome. Dot?” “Oh, I didn’t notice! lie was so wet, and I know he is hungry. Mabel, will you put some water in the coffee pot. please ?” When the two men came back into the room, Dorothy was busily setting a small table by the fire, while Mabel was lazily stroking the dog. “Won’t you sit down here. Mr. Ferrol? Do you take cream and sugar in your coffee?” Dorothy asked. “Yes, both, thank you. You are so thoughtful. Miss Grant.” Dorothy served him, and also brought out a plate of food for the dog before she sat down by the fire. “Mr. Ferrol has promised to tell us how he got here, and why he wanted my matches,” Mr. Grant laughed. “Come on, young man. We're waiting.” “Well,” he began, “I came up here for a vacation with Rags. Rags and I usually run the Ferrol store, but we left an efficient man in charge, and started off in our canoe, with all the supplies we would need for two weeks. How- ever, our plans were changed, for when we got about this far up, our canoe capsized, because Rags got too frisky and insisted on sitting on the side of it. Well, our food and supplies, of course, both went, so I needed some matches. I came down here to get some matches so I could get dry. and now it’s raining and I’m wet again. Did you mind my eat- ing the biscuits? Rags got the crumbs on the floor, but I couldn’t find a broom. I am awfully sorry!” “Of course we didn't mind the biscuits! Dorothy said. “If you’d have swept up the crumbs we probably would never have known you had been here.” “I’ve told Mr. Ferrol that we were going back to town in a few days, and that he could use the cabin. Of course, he’ll stay here 'till we go. also.’’ “And you don’t know how I appreciate that,’’ Ferrol said with a smile. The rest of the evening was spent in telling jokes and adventures, until Mr. Grant suggested bed. The next two days passed happily, but too quickly. Sometimes Kenneth would fish with Mr. Grant, but more 7S June, 1923 The Spectrum often lie and Rags would go hunting with Dorothy. When the day came for leaving everyone was sorry. ‘‘Kenneth, you will look us up, won't you, when you get back from your vacation ?” Dorothy asked. ‘‘We’d love to have you, you know.” “And I’d love to come! You don’t know how I’lll miss you folks, Dorothy.” “Sis, you finish up the trunks. I’m going after dad,” Mabel said, coming from the house. Kenneth and Dorothy finished the packing, and then roped the trunks. In a short time, Mabel and her father came back, and the little party started homeward. “Goodbye, Ferrol,” Mr. Grant said. “Our home is as much at your disposal as our cabin has been. Please don’t forget us!” “Goodbye, goodbye!” the girls chorused, and waved their handkerchiefs until they were out of sight. “Well. Rags, we’re going to be lonesome for a while, but we won’t forget them, will we. Rags? We’ll see them again soon! But just think, if you hadn't tipped the canoe we’d never have known them. Oh, Rags, you wonderful dog!” Ferrol said, patting his dog's back and smiling. 79 The Spectrum June, 1923 From Bottom to Top VIRC,IN IA JOH NSOX I low well do I remember.

Now here’s to the downhearted freshman Who envies the senior’s delight, You too, will soon be a senior, If you’ll work hard and stick to the fight. 80 June, pj ? The Spectrum Where Revenge Wasn’t By Harry G. Johnson T was a starry, pleasant summer’s night for all the universe in general, but not for Sethmond Richards, ardent high school senior, aged eighteen. I say ardent, because that is the adjective best suited to lend him proper description. His hair was ardent, in other words, red. His fluency of speech was ardent, though also arduous. And his affection for slim and pretty Alicia Birosettem was also ardent, fortunately for this story, for had his affections been otherwise, this narration would still remain in the urn of untold tales. On this particular evening, Seth lay stretched across the seat of “Liza B.’ an automobile of a former age. which he had fashioned into his idea of a racing bug. The old hulk could not make over forty-five or fifty per hour with im- punity, but nevertheless, in Seth’s fond heart, his car was a “speedwagon”. As I was saying, Seth was laying stretched across the seat, and the bright night was not pleasant for him. He scowled darkly as his mind traced and retraced the foul events of that fateful afternoon. He had asked his revered Alicia to go for a ride on this afternoon and she had consented. Then, when the two were just ready to start out in Liza B. for a few hours’ joggling over the countryside, who had happened along but Seth’s acquaintance, Paul Roderson, a rollicking, joking youth slightly younger than Seth. With his characteristic for- wardness of nature, Paul had invited himself to go along on the ride, and had comfortably settled himself between Seth and Alicia. Then followed sixty silent minutes of riding, broken only by an occasional, unappreciated crack of Paul’s on some subject or another. One thing that bothered Seth the most was the sight of Paul’s arm stretched across the back of the seat, and engaged in some unseen pursuit. But there is an end to all things, pleasant or not, and finally the ride terminated, and Seth pulled Liza B. up along- side the curb near Alicia's home. She got out, and with an Alaskan, “I had a pleasant ride. Thank you. Goodbye,” started off down the street. Seth looked after her with grief in his vitals, and was horror-stricken to see on her back a large heart, pierced by an arrow, done in dazzling, yellow chalk. So that was what Paul had been up to during the ride. Agonized. Seth called after Alicia, and told her to look at her back. She did. and with a little gasp was off for her home at a run. At supper time, a few hours later. Seth 81 The Spectrum June, 1923 called her on the phone, and was informed that she was busy. So good reason that the world looked black for him. His heart sought for suitable revenge for Paul, but he could think of nothing rigorous enough for such an offense. He considered a rough and tumble fight, blackmail, and everything he knew, but there was nothing he knew of to effect an atonement. So, with melancholy in his bosom, he set out for home. When he had locked up his machine in the shed, whom should he see but Paul, awaiting him in the yard. Paul, all unsuspecting of the turmoil he had caused, strode forward eagerly. “Seth, Pve asked Marion to go to the senior prom, and she said she’d go. Will you take 11s in your machine? You'll have room for us, won’t you. even with Alicia?” ’M not going to take Alicia, said Seth grimly. Then he added with a fiendish glint in his eyes, “Sure, I'll take you, Paul.” Paul was vociferous in his thanks, and clapped his unresponding companion on the back. But Seth merely smiled, grimly. He knew what he'd do. Three weeks later, the night of the senior prom was at hand, and Seth rejoiced at the prospects of retribution. Rejoiced? He gloated. Now Paul was to pay for almost having cost Seth the friendship of Alicia. By this time Seth had partly made amends to his fair one, but the break had not yet been completely healed. But, be it healed or not, tonight would witness the fulfillment of Paul’s atonement, for Seth was to do him dirt. Seth felt a grim satisfaction as he dusted off the shiny blue body of his machine, and did a bit of oiling here and there. Every now and then he glanced at his watch. Seven- thirty: it was almost time for Paul to show up. He took off his overalls, dusted his clothes, and went out of the shed. Meditating the plans he had laid for the evening, he wended his way to the front porch and seated himself on the railing to bide time till Paul appeared. He did not have long to wait. The victim appeared in a very few moments, a little ahead of time as per usual. Unsuspecting, he greeted Seth with a cheerful mien and opened up with some of his latest jokes. Seth smiled and Paul misunderstood the smile. The plotter vanished into the house for his wraps and then was out in a hurry. The pair hurried to the shed and piled into the machine. It was only the work of a few seconds before the old car was rumbling its exhaust, and then with an epileptic jump, Liza B. bore the two hoys off en route to Marion's home. 82 June, 1923 The Spectrum A few moments later, the blue machine drew up before Marion's house, and the hopeful Paul tumbled out. stumbled up the front steps and mumbled to the maid if SHE was ready yet. SHE wasn't, so Paul went into the shrine to bask where SHE lived. Seth was left alone with his machine. He raised the hood, and closed the valve in the gas line from the gasoline tank to the vacuum tank. There was enough gas left on the vacuum system to run the car for five or six miles. That would be enough. Then the front door opened, and Marion, all a flutter in silk coat and dancing frock came tripping out to the car, followed by the adoring Paul. She paused a moment before the machine, clasped her hands and said, “Oh, Seth, I’m so glad I'm going to ride in your car. I've wanted for so long to ride in a real racer ' When she said that, Seth almost had misgivings about his wonderful plans. But, the innocent must suffer with the guilty, he decided philosophically, and steeled his heart. The trio climbed into the auto, and the engine started with its deep voice. Seth headed the car towards the school where the party was to be given. After he had gone for a few blocks, he threw on the brakes, reached his hand into his pocket and drew out a small package. “I say, gang, I forgot this package of mother's; I've got to take it out to a friend who lives on a farm a ways out. I think we’ll be able to get back before the dance starts. You don’t mind if we run out, do you? said Seth eagerly. “Marion glanced doubtfully at her watch. “I guess we’ll have time, but I don't want to be late for the hop. Sure! Go on : but get 11s back in time. Mind! Paul also glanced at his watch and looked unhappily doubtful. Seth turned the car about, and was off swiftly down a road that led into the country. The minnutes passed, and the car sped on. Evidently another car was going on ahead, for the air was dusty. The car turned a wind of the road at a good clip and was speeding up again along the dim straightaway when suddenly a car running without lights loomed out of the murky air. headed straight for the Liza B. Both cars were traveling at a good rate, and there was no room or time to stop, so Seth did the only thing he could: he turned the machine to the side of the road, over the ditch, and into the ditch, past it. and through the brush at the side of the road. A stump loomed ahead, passed beneath the machine, struck something on the underside of the car. But the blue car did not stop. Seth threw it into low. and 83 The Spectrum June, 1923 pulled back onto the road. The other machine was throbbing away into the distance. Seth laughed a little nervously. “We hit that stump, but I don’t think it did any damage. The car seems to run all right.” And he drove on. Marion was commencing to fret a little, and she looked frequently at her watch. Occasionally she dropped a hint to Seth that he was going quite a way, and that she didn’t see how they could get back before the dance started. Seth was just going to reply to her tenth question as to how much farther they had to go, when suddenly the engine died with a wheezy cough, and the car coasted to a halt. Seth gave a surprised exclamation and climbed out. Marion said something appropriate about a person who would bring a girl out into the country before a dance and then kill his engine. Paul feverishly voiced an apology. Meantime. Seth was out working on the engine, every once in a while giving the crank a twist. After an appropriate period of time, he duly reported to the two occupants that the demotilizer had broken, and the car would not be able to run for a long time, and that demotilizers were expensive. Paul tried to look intelligent, and confirmed the latter state- ment. Marion fretted and spoke her mind freely. Finally Seth said, “Well. I guess the only thing to do is for you two to get a lift with that milk wagon that's coming along there. That’ll get you into town in an hour or so. The driver’ll take you if Paul pays him a little something for it. I’ll stay here until a car comes along going to my friend’s farm. I’ve got to deliver this package.” The lumbering milk wagon drew near, piloted by a not too wideawake teamster, who pulled his steeds to a halt. When he had heard their story, he opened his business eye and kindly offered to take the two to town for five dollars. Paul consented with a groan, and Seth was left alone as the wagon rumbled off, Marion pettishly making comments suit- able for the occasion. When the wagon was out of hearing, Seth laughed with self-satisfaction to himself. At last he had had his due from Paul. Revenge, he had his revenge now, all right! Me turned and looked after the wagon disappearing in the dust. Then he turned to the car. Well, he wouldn’t have to walk back, anyway. He raised the hood to open the cock of the gas line so he could start the motor and be off for home. l ie felt for the cock in the dark, but in its place his fingers encountered a jagged hole in the side of the vacuum tank. The cock 84 The Spectrum June, 1923 was gone, and the gas line, too! Panic-stricken, Seth ran back to the gas tank and felt for the other end of the gas line there. There, too, was a jagged hole. The gas pipe had been torn away when lie had turned the car into the brush to let the other car pass, and all the gasoline had leaked out. The unexpected defeat of his revenge left Seth for a moment dumbfounded. Here the car had run this far on the gas in the vacuum tank, and just when he had thought that he had revenge, the dirt he had planned to do to Paul had boomeranged to himself. He sank down on the running board and considered, bewildered. Then he smiled, got up, and started out afoot for the town. He had been beaten, and he would take it as a good fellow should. With a smile, he faced the weary miles of tramping home. His revenge had fluked, but. well, lie was glad it had. For now he could face Paul and Marion with a clear con- science and a headstrong act had not cost him two friends. 85 The Spectrum June, 1923 The Race Maryzita Ferguson Four years ago I entered The halls of Jefferson. To learn, my mind was centered: I had a race to run. With courses the track was lined, Fifteen they told to me. I cannot take them all I whined. Oh! tell me which it’ll be? Our principal was reading, I thought he had not heard; I know looks are deceiving. For he heard every word. “Choose the course you like the best ’ I heard him kindly say, “Patience, ambition and the rest, Will then show you the way.” And now the race is ending. The goal I plainly see. Rut on it there is writing. What can the message be? “Don’t ponder here or show distress, ’Tis but a starting place: The goal of life is marked Success, Work hard, and win the race.” so June, 1923 The Spectrum In Appreciation XCE upon a time there lived a Little Girl, at least she thought she lived, but she didn't. Her name was Elizabeth and she merely existed. But one day Elizabeth’s mother, who was a very kind and understanding lady, took her little daughter to a great Brick Building. The Little Girl was rather frightened at the size of the Big Building, but her mother left her with such a Kind Gentleman that she hadn't the least bit of fear left. Xow the Big Building had over its front door an inscrip- tion which read: “JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL” and the Kind Gentleman was called the “Principal!'’ The Little Girl (who wasn’t little at all any more) was very lonesome because she didn’t know any of the other girls and boys, but one day she met an Ideal, who was a History Teacher, and she took away a good part of the lonesomeness of the Little Girl (who wasn’t really little at all). And then she met another Ideal, who was an English Teacher, living on the second floor. As three terms rolled by the Little Girl found herself ready to graduate from that school—but now she had Ideals on every single floor! And there were four floors! A very likeable gentleman on the third floor had taught her much about the flowers and bugs and a good bit about friendship. A very impulsive and much-loved English lady, also living 011 the third floor, had opened up for the Little Girl (who now lived instead of merely existing) a treasure of English literature, and another very particularly liked Ideal had trained her clumsy fingers to draw pictures. The Little Girl had one more Ideal who had instilled into her a love for the Old Brick Building and the spirit therein, and, incidentally, a tolerable amount of Civics. So when the Kind Gentleman (who was also called the “Principal”) said goodbye to the Little Girl and asked her what she took away with her from the Brick Building, she answered: “Six Ideals, who are also Friends, and a realization of the true values of Life.” And when the Kind Gentleman asked her what she left, she replied: “A great deal of gratitude, not a little love, and the hope that— “Since we deserved the name of friends And thine effect so lives in me. A part of mine may live in thee. And move thee on to nobler ends.” —E. M.

Its slender arch went up into the heaven and then over and down, the end seemingly striking at the entrance of Jefferson. The old saying “at the foot of the rainbow is a pot of gold” entered my mind. Indeed it was true, a pot of gold of greatest value anchored the rainbow this time. Few of us realize the true worth of our school days. Day after day we come to Jefferson without thinking of the treasures within its wall that we so heedlessly let slip by. As time passes we begin to realize that soon we will be leaving: we are coming closer to the end. Four years we have spent in the building—four years of happiness, of joy- ousness and fun. Four years in which we have dipped into the gold of knowledge and of learning, and have striven to take from it treasures untold. Now at the end we are going to be sent away with as much of that treasure as we have been able to take from the pot. But have we given anything in return? Have we done our utmost to keep the gold up to the brim? Have we endeavored to put in gold 03 The Spectrum June, for all the gold taken out ? Can we honestly say we have done this? If we can, we have succeeded in keeping the pot at the foot of the rainbow secure, and full of treasure for those who are in future years coming to our dear Jefferson. —Leona Clapper. JEFFERSON TEACHERS Jefferson Teachers! How many of us ever think of our teachers in that way? They are a part of Jefferson, and we should honor and look up to them just as we do to any other part of Jefferson ideals. Many of us come to school determined that we are not going to like our teachers, and as a natural result, we do not. A few students, I am glad it is only a few, believe that teachers of Jefferson are a part of the furnishings, a drawback to a good time, but never- theless to he tolerated. Consider the injustice of it! How many men and women do as much for you as your own teachers? I don‘ think my statement would be exag- gerated in the least if I said that next to your parents, your teachers are your best friends. Teachers are not just hard- hearted machines, but on the other hand, as a general rule, are kind and considerate, human beings, looking out for the happiness of their pupils, and receiving very little hap- piness in return. A teacher spends the greater amount of her time at school, and should, therefore get the most of her pleasure at school. Do any of us ever go out of our way to make life a little more enjoyable for our teachers? Do we greet them with a cheery “hello’’ when we meet them in the halls, or do we pass them by as though we didn't see them. Think it over and please do not let these words be in vain. —James Braly. WORK Work and therefore much pleasure derive. But idle be, you'd better be dead than alive. Upon “work is built the foundation of the world. How fearful most of us look at those four letters—look at them as if each letter spelled turmoil and strife, when in fact, the only real happiness to be got out of life is that derived from work. Although work is the only source of complete satisfac- tion, yet we are apt to look on work as a burden and think that idleness is pleasure. Especially is this true in school 94 June, 1923 The Spectrum life when often we cannot make much out of our studies while in the midst of them. Very often they all seem a muddle. It is only when we get farther on in life that we can look back and see the vast amount of knowledge that we were storing up at that time. This is a working world and labor, physical or mental, is a necessity. Franklin once said, “Work today for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow”, and work we must if success we achieve. The great men of the world, throughout all ages, have had to struggle for their aim, and what is true of them is true also of us. It is difficult in these days of hustle and bustle and side issues, to keep our minds occupied with the thought of work, but work is necessary if happiness we seek. To be able to get at the bottom of things and neither be a sham nor be fooled by a sham, is a source of gratification that makes the heart light and gay. Some people inherit golden fortunes but no one ever inherited a scholarship, a good character or a useful life. These are the things we must work for and they are the things from which we gain pleasure. The haphazard, care- less style of doing work, neglecting the little things, hurry- ing to reach the topmost rung of the ladder is in reality the longest road to travel. The problems of life will prove simple if we but shoulder our responsibility and work to attain the highest point of greatness in our power. When we think of the heroic spirit shown by some of the world’s great men, we can not help but be spurred on. What work it must have been for Milton to write “Paradise Lost.” in blindness, poverty, and neglect; and yet how uplifted must his soul have been when at last his final words were written! Then there is Bunyon who wrote “Pilgrim’s Progress,” while he lay a prisoner for conscience's sake in Bedford jail. Who is there who doubts the beneficial effect these books have had upon the world? There is a touch of pathos about doing anything for the last time. So there will be a sad feeling in each heart when the Class of June ,’23. says farewell to Jefferson. We have learned to love our school, and at this parting of the ways let us all carry with us the high ideals with which our Prin- cipal, Vice-Principal, Dean and teachers have imbued us, and with a firmness of purpose and a determination to over- throw every obstacle which comes in our way, we will strive to be each one of us. a monument to Jefferson—remember- ing always LABOR OMNIA VINCIT. —Etelka Parrish. 95 The Spectrum June, 1923 AFTER GRADUATION In the midst of all the hustle and bustle of preparing for graduation, most of 11s are also engaged in some way in preparing for that more serious business we call life. Of course, we have been told on innumerable occasions, and in as many ways by parents and teachers, that all through high school that should have been our aim. Heretofore, a smile, a shrug, a cheerful ‘‘We should worry, ‘and a swift return to our own thoughts or lack of them have too often been our only responses to these efforts of our elders to instil in us some sense of responsibility. Now, however, most of us are about to begin earning our own living in one way or another. Pause to consider what will be our several lots ten years after graduation. Scattered all over the earth, some will be happy, others unhappy: some successful, still others un- successful, and so on through the entire catalogue of the lost that Fate has in store for her puppets. Perhaps the book-worms of our class will have been jarred to exert a surprising amount of energy on some enterprise, or they may be the carefree and careless people of the future. Our grittiest mathematicians may turn out to be the most ro- mantic of romantic people, while the beaux and belles may be showing signs of corpulency and age in their late twen- ties. The “I—don’t—care” type of person often comes to care the most, and the hardest, youthful dancers have been known to become the best citizens and the 'leepest thinkers. Stranger things have happened than the loudest shouter’s of school spirit proving to be the emptiest vessel, or the dreamers turning out the most practical person alive. Those who are planning on continuing their educations may have been called far astray, while unexpected opportunities may have opened for others who now have no hope of further education. The harshest critics may have been taught by life to be the mildest judges, though others may have been embit- tered by experience. I11 short, as I think of the numerous types in our class and wonder what will be our lives in the future, I am impressed by the uncertainty of life, even to the extent of thinking that all these conjectures I have made may be proved entirely false. —AIX A VENDELIN. 96 The Valedictory of ■; June Class ’23 i� Vi UJl 13 £5 r-« r- M if- i i'.'i ra i’.i At last! class of Ninteen Twenty-three, the parting day has come. We will soon be separated from ties we have held so dear. We have spent the years together and shared 0:1 r work and now we part forever on this Commencement Day. (doom and sadness come to overshadow the deep happiness of the day. With sweet, heart-felt memories we leave our Alma Mater where we so long have dwelt. 'Hie precepts of Jefferson High School have been taught us by her fine examples. We have learned and honored her great lesson to be upright and to obey, to give the best that we have. Now, we leave her shelter; but though we meet no longer, our sweet memories of her will never fade. We will keep her name untarnished and guard her sacred honor and trust in return for what she has done for us. So fare-thee-well, dear class of Nineteen Twenty-three. May we preserve our memories of Jefferson High School to direct our efforts. Last of all, but not least, we must not forget the kindness of our faculty. —Augustine Carmins. 1)7 The Spectrum June, 1923 A Qolden Treasure Oswald Berglaxd Four hare walls in a nook, Sheltered from wind and rain With a table, a chair, and a hook, You have a whole little world to gain— If your hook and your motives are good. Though windows and doors are shut, And the golden sunlight has died. Though your dwelling seems but a hut. The outward appearance has lied— You still have your castles in Spain. If you will, on the swift wings of thought, You can outstrip the sun arrow’s flight. And explore the vast regions that caught The first gleam of the Northern lights— If you wish, and you will, and you dare. 98 THE JUNE ’23 CLASS PLAY On May 4 and 5 the comedy “Penrod” was presented by the June ’23 Class. The excellent acting of all the cast was duly appreciated by each audience in turn. No special praise can be be- stowed on any one character for all were as nearly perfect as possible and great credit is due the cast for their faithful work and splendid results. Miss Greathouse did an exceptional thing in coaching so large a cast and such a difficult play in five weeks. The class feels that much of the success of “Penrod” was due to her help and cooperation, and extends her its grateful apprecia- tion. Miss Laber, Mrs. Gay, Miss Hendershot and Mr. Zane and Mr. La Forge are heartily thanked for their help in costuming, decorating and staging. The play was such a success that a performance was given on the afternoon of May 4 to a critical but ad- miring audience of grammar school pupils. So many tickets were sold that the cast of “Penrod” appeared for the fourth time on May 7 to accommodate those who were unable to get seats for the other nights. From both a financial and an artistic viewpoint the June ’23 Class Play was a great success. The cast included Karl Slocum as Penrod; Paul Clark as Sam; Miriam Dowling as Marjorie: Corliss Sherman as Georgie Bassett: and Ted Shank and Charles Fisher as Yerman and Herman. Idamae Schloth and Charles Duffy took the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Schofield; Irene Carlson was Mrs. Bassett, and Fred Wilcox, Mr. Jones. Della, the maid, was portrayed by Lois Dowling; the policeman, by Tom Schell: the villain and his accomplice by William Myers and Kirk Bolliger: and Della’s beau by George Knutson. Alfred Goss played the part of the minister; Billy O’Bryant, that of Bob Williams, while Barbara Posson was Penrod's sister, Margaret. 99 The Spectrum June, 1923 My Quiding Star JOSEPH INK Z! M M ER M A X O lovely star, you shine so dear tonight! How can I speak the thoughts that rise in me, As silently I gaze and hope to see Beyond—hut cannot pierce thy vale of light ? My eyes grow dim, a face with halo crowned Shines through the night and gently leads me on. Your silvery beams, now guiding hands upon My heart, whose heats are tuned to catch each sound. Thy heavenly voice may send. Oh, let it be A song that earthward sent, the listening ear Of all the world may hear and feel the joy That comes from thee. And may it have no fear, But know that thou do'st other ways employ Than those we understand or try to see. 100 KLATAWAS A social committee has been appointed by the president. This committee plans to have two or three interesting events at each regular meeting of the club. Two long hikes are planned, one to Carver and another to Wakeena Loop as soon as the weather permits. —Winifred Arnold. Secretary. THE INNESS ART CLUB The Inness Art Club is nearing the completion of a very successful term. The club has participated in many of the activities in- volving the cooperation of all the clubs of the school, be- sides enjoying very interesting meetings. The members have taken several enjoyable hikes and are planning more as the term draws to a close. Although we did not succeed in having our sale or in giving the dance we had planned, we have them to look forward to next term. There will be several vacancies to be filled with the be- ginning of the fall term, as some of our members are grad- uating in the June Class. We already have many names on the waiting list. —Evelyn Walcott. Secretary. ZETA DELTA SIGMA Well, we've done it! When Marion appointed six com- mittees and submitted for approval an amendment to the constitution at the first meeting of the term, our friends and critics advised us to slow down. We didn't agree with them at all. Since then we have polished the cups in the library, presented a set of pictures to the school, taken full charge of the Big Sister movement, put on a skit in the Live Wire Vaudeville, taken part in numerous debates and programs, given an initiation party, a tea, and a picnic. And through it all we've kept up friendly relations with the Pi Belts. Although thirteen of the girls are to graduate we predict that next year will be even better than this one. —Kathryn Rossman, Secretary. 101 The Spectrum June, 1923 PHILOMATHIANS The Philomathian Club has had a wonderfully successful term. We are well satisfied with the work wt have accom- plished. Our little Armenian girl has been cared for, for a whole year. Our Jefferson mascot sale gave us enough money to pay the remaining sum due the Near East Relief. The Philos wish to thank everyone who helped us in our mascot sale. We have enjoyed several hikes and a skating party, and our weekly swim at Buckman school has given us many a happy afternoon. Our new pins are very neat. We chose the plain letter “P,” as we felt that simplicity would hold up the standards of Jefferson High School, as well as being very attractive. We are planning to end the June term with a final party and a good time for all members, and next fall we are going to take up our work with the same pep and en- thusiasm. —Leona Clapper, Editor. CAMERA CLUB The closing term has been a most successful one for the Camera Club. Many enjoyable hikes have been taken to various spots of interest and beauty. The club has planned to award a prize to the one sub- mitting the best scenic picture taken on any of the hikes this term. So far many interesting “snaps” have been turned in. The winner is as yet unknown. All the members of the club graduating this June hope that next term will prove as successful as this one has. —Hazel Hulme, Secretary. TRI-Y’S We have worked hard and played hard this term, and feel more than well satisfied with the results. Our lollvpop sale on May 3 succeeded in replenishing our treasury for the coming semester. The annual Federation Day banquet was held on April 29. at the Y. W. C. A., where every girl enjoyed the festivities to the utmost. Many speakers on social welfare and health have spoken to 11s and many clever stunts have embellished our weekly meetings. —Betty Bimrose, Secretary. 102 June, 1923 The Spectrum PI DELTA EPSILON Under the leadership of President Bolliger the Pi Delts have enjoyed one of their most successful terms. Snappy speeches were given for the basketball and baseball games, and a number of interesting events were successfully carried out. Several new members have been added to the ranks of the Pi Delts. and they are all proving themselves worthy of this organization. The club is now planning its semi-annual banquet to be held at the end of this term. The Pi Delts are making extensive preparations for fall, and a prosperous term is predicted. By the sign of the owl. ye shall know 11s. —Harold Nelsen, Secretary. JANUARY CLASS NOTES Good-bye, June Class. We, the members of January '24. congratulate you on your wonderful class and wish each and every one of you the best of luck as you leave Jefferson. On April 27, the June Class entertained the January Class with a kid party. The members of both classes who attended had a very good time and we wish to thank the June Class for this affair. On April 13, we had our Get-to-gethcr party. The gym was beautifully decorated in contrasting colors. The com- mittee in charge of entertainment was: Earl Jackson, chair- man : Hannah Lewis, P eatrice Shank, Beatrice Phipps, Tom Bauman. On the decorating committee were: George Eisman. Mac Lewis, Aileen League. Harvey Hart and Con- stance Roth. With only one more term to complete all our plans, we will be kept quite busy. —Constance Roth, Secretary. ROOTERS’ CLUB The Rooters' Club has enjoyed one of its most success- ful terms. The club has backed up the various teams with a great deal of pep and fight, and has tried to enliven the student body spirit of Jefferson. Many new members have joined the ranks of the club, and they have all proved themselves good rooters. Extensive plans for a big football season are being con- sidered, and with the cooperation of the student body good results are expected. 103 —Harold Nelsen, President.

A few hikes were taken and we intend to continue taking trips together during the summer. —Katharine Zook, Secretary. NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! Beginning next term the Spectrum will run a special Freshman Supplement for the purpose of developing literary talent in the Jefferson yearlings. The contributions of first, second and third term students will be published in this section. Heretofore, Freshmen have had to compete with the higher classes and consequently much material of com- mendable nature has gone unrewarded on account of ex- perienced competition. It is hoped that the Freshmen take advantage of this boon and respond with suitable material. All contributions should be endorsed with name and Fresh- man Section” and should be submitted either personally to Miss Browne in Room 62 or to Box 62 in the office.

Quand on commence comme un Freshman, on pense que 1'ecole est trop grande, que les etudiants sont tres ages, que les sujets sont si differents, qu’ils seront tres difficiles a apprendre. On pense qu’il y un trop grand nomhre d’etudiants et qu’il ne connaitra jamais personne. Mais apres quelques semaines les Freshmen commencent a voir le vrai esprit de Jefferson. Les etudiants sont aima- bles. ils sont interesses dans les Freshmen. Alors ces jeunes filles et garc'ons voient que les etudiants avanqes les con- siderent comme de vrais Jeffersonians et ils deviennent de vrais Jeffersonians pour meriter cet egard. Voila la vie d’un Freshman. Apres cela chactin fait partie de Jefferson. Moi, je Fai trouve comme ;a. Pour etre un bon Jeffersonian, j’ai trouve qu’on a beaucoup a faire. D’abord, il y avait mes etudes. Je les aimais toutes mais je preferais le frangais a toutes les autres. Le franqais m’a donne beaucoup de plaisir parce que nous avons lu plusieurs livres interessants, Pecheur d’lslande avec ses belles de- scriptions, Eugenie Grandet, Les Miserables, Cyrano de Bergerac, Madame Therese, et beaucoup d autres. II me faut aussi ajouter quelque chose de la corre- spondance franc'aise. J’ai a present quatre corresjxjndantes in France. Cette correspondance. commencee a l’ecole, m’a aidee a faire de nouvelles amies, a pratiquer le frangais, a aider mes amies a ecrire l’anglais. et a m’apprendre non seulement davantage de la France, mais plus de mon | ropre pays car en desirant leur dire quelque chose d’interessant j’ai cherche des choses dans mon pays qui etaient interes- santes et que je ne savais pas bien, et je les ai etudiees pour mieux les expliquer a mes amies. Aussi fait-on beaucoup d’amis a 1’ecole non seulement parmi les etudiants mais aussi parmi la faculte. Alors il y a les clubs, les affaires sociales et l’athetiques. Oui, pour etre un bon Jeffersonian il faut qu’on aille a tous les jeux et qu’on soutienne le “team”. Moi, j’assiste a tous les jeux. C’est ce qu'on voit le vrai esprit de Jefferson. 133 The Spectrum June, 1923 Certainement nies quatre annees a Jefferson out ete tres avantageuses et remplies de praisir. Les caniches peuvent faire des choscs extraordinaires dans restimation d’une des membres de la classe de fran- gais six.

Ancient glories around did lay, And kings and queens on nectar dined; But then to beauty all were blind As slave girls on their lyres did play! You thrill me with your unseen power, So carved and jew’lled. O Ring shaped Charm, How many locked away in towers Your magic may have saved from harm! You bring these thoughts to mind this hour While gazing at thee on my arm. m tXnaJpalabia 0(spaiiola CARLOS Augustine Carmicis En una aldea prospera de Francia habia una familia com- puesta de los padres y dos hermanos, de los cuales el mayor apenas tenia cuatro anos de edad v la menor tenia dos. Los padres de Carlos, el mayor y Rena, la menor. adoraban mucho a sus chiquillos. El padre mantenia a la familia en un modesto bienestar. Una guerra se estallo, pues senor Lorive Marechalle, el padre de Carlitos fue a defender su patria, como cada patriota deberia liacer. Era un sarjento en el ejercito franees. Despues de dos anos de ausencia escribio a su familia diciendola que la guerra ya estaba terminada, pues podrian ir al cani|X) a visitarle. Luego que la madre de Carlito ovo esta noticia immediatamente se preparo para su partida llevando consigo, por supuesto, su familia. Cuando llegaron al medio del camino fueron atacados por los bandidos, asesinando a la madre y al cochero. Carlos y su hermana fueron abandonados sin danos. Sin duda los pobrecitos lloraron alii muy amargamente. No tan distante, sin embargo, de ellos vivian dos viejos y estos fueron a sal varies. Quedaron los dos infantes en el humide hogar de los viejos y aprendieron varias clases del trabajo domestico. A si trascurrieron nueve anos, neuve largos anos de huerfanidad. Carlos ya tenia quince anos de edad y Rena trece. Ya eran jovenes tan inteligentes y simpaticos. Otra Guerra estallo de nuevo y el gobierno fiances llamaba por mas soldados. Carlitos queria ir a unirse pero los adorables viejos y especialmente su afectuosa hermana no le per- mitian. ;Que habia de liacer el pobre joven? Ann tenia buena idea. Escribio una noticia. lodejo en sucuarto y se fue. Se puso un tambolero en el arma. Despues de la guerra ha recibido una medalia de oro de la guerra y fue promovi do al capital! del ejercito. Cuando estaba en Paris nuestro amigo joven ha adquirido una novia. condesa casada. Esta amaba Carlos much que casi no queria separarse de el para donde que se vaya. Un 137 The Spectrum June, 1923 dia estos amantes, por algiinas circunstancias, se pusieron disgustados. Carlos no adoraba mas a la condesa i)ero esta le aim am aba. Un dia el comandante general de arma mando a Carlitos a traer un mensaje al otro departamento militar. Cuando estaba en su camio la condesa le habia tenido aprehendido y puesto en una torre como un prisonero. Le dijo la condesa (jue no le soltaria hasta que la diga que la ame de nuevo. Carlos rehuso. Pues tenia que estar en la torre por 11110s dias. Entonces el mensaje no liava llevado a su destinacion. El pobre Carlos recibio una sentencia grave de no haber complido el orden del general. Rena aprendio todo de esto y entonces fue a Paris para apoyar a su hermano. El com- andante, sin embargo, no escucho a las suplicaciones de la conmovida joven. Carlos tenia que morirsc. Por fin el did del fusilamiento vino. Los pobres her- manos se despidieron. A quel momento que el general comen- zaba a dar el senal del desparo Carlos gritd pediendo un permiso del general paraque liable. El general le escucho. Entonces Carlitos dijo al publico que si su padre, el capitan Lorve Marechall fuera vivo en aquellas boras, no sufriria el tales miserias. Al oir a estas palabras del joven, el general fue excitado y arrimo a Carlitos! pidio que este le diria, la historia de su vida y la de su hcmiana. Al fin se habia averiguado que el comandante niismo era el padre de estos hermanos. Era el seiior Lor via Marechall v ahora ya era un general. Asi la vida de Carlitos fue salvado. Carlos y su hermana llamaron los viejos a Paris y vivieron felizmente con su padre. 138 Can you remember when: Frank Kenin was serious? We were freshies? We had an orderly class meeting?

I saw many things—I saw Al Goss, the ster- ling musician, blowing a fish horn in the public market, assisted by John Putnam, who threw the fish at the customers in a javclonic manner. After a while Etclka Parrish came along and said that the market was not 1 sanitary. However Dean Grunland and Bob Neighbor vaulted over the coun- ter and chased her away. Just then the Drs. Bossatti and Carstens came to collect specimens, but the fish evaded the draft on the plea of old age. Gladys Vcrstccg verified this Im- proving that C02 was given off. Wil- lard McCIcod was seen sprinting up the street and ascertaining the fish to be the cause. I threw them as hard as I could, but the odor still re- mained. Wilford Long was called and as soon as lie had played the piano, the odor disappeared. Literary As Bob Heitketnper sat punching the key one night he heard the call s. o. s. and again s. o. s. My, how dreadfully excited he was! Immediate- ly lie sat down and pounded out. Who are you? “Don't get curious,” answered the wierd one. “1 never heard of the place.” said Bob. “Say. who arc you any way? This is a government station and we CSI must have someone we can rely on absolutely. He must tell the truth, etc. Now, who arc you?” I am Bob Heitkemper,” came back the answer. “All right, we’ll call someone else, thanks.

Jefferson won the toss and took the field with Boyce on the mound and Geenty receiving. Roosevelt failed to score in their half of the first, but Jefferson pushed two counters across in their half on two hits, a sacrifice and a stolen base. From this point on Jeffer- son held the lead. Boyce held his opponents scoreless for the six innings he worked. In the seventh he was relieved by Ashby. In this stanza Roosevelt scored their three markers on a hit and errors. W. Olney had a good day at the bat. pounding out a three-bagger and a single out of four times up. Boyce also showed up well for the Democrats. For the losers. Robert- son played well, batting a thousand for the day, getting three hits out of three trips to the plate. Following is the box score: Jefferson— Roosevelt— B. II R. E. B. H. R. E.

Scritsmier started on the mound for Jefferson with Maston catching. In the first inning King led off with a two-sacker and scored on another hit and from this point on the lead was never endangered. Walt Olney continued his heavy slug- ging by gathering three hits. Jim King, Jack Olney and Bob Robinson also hit well. In fact, these four men gathered 10 of the 18 hits made by the team. For Reed Captain Wilson was the shining light for the collegians ; he played shortstop in a flashy manner and pounded out a couple of bingles. Coach White used several pitchers in this game, namely, Scritsmier, Eoff and Boyce, all of whom got by in good fashion. Following is the lx x score: Jefferson— Reed— B. H . R. E. P� . II. R. E.

Ashby, who was on the mound for the Democrats, pitched masterly ball and was never in danger. Vancouver failed to score in their half of the first canto, 158 June, 1923 The Spectrum Jefferson counting twice in their half. After two were out McClellan and W. Olney both singled, and Robinson scored them with a double to left. Jefferson .«scored again in the third when Captain Extra and McClellan got on on errors and Robinson again cleaned the bags with a two-bagger. Robinson and YV. Olney both gathered two hits, while Palmer for the losers pounded out two hits. Following is the box score: Jefferson — Vane out. er— B. H. R. E. B. H. R. E.

Joe Boyce didn’t know what Friday, the 13th, meant, for lie held the opposition to two lone bingles and should have scored a shutout. Jefferson scored first in the third inning on a hit, a walk, and a sacrifice, and counted again in the fourth on three hits. Vancouver scored their lone run in the fourth on two hits and an error. Joe liovce of course was the shining light for Jefferson, while Dergermark pitched good ball for the losers. Robin- son and W. Olney continued their heavy hitting and each got two hits.

Eoff did the hurling and Maston received. Jefferson started her scoring in the first inning and held the opposition scoreless until the seventh inning, when the Bankers pushed one across. Ashby relieved Eoff in the eighth and got by in good shape. Eoff, Captain Extra and “Nasty” Maston had a good day with the willow, each getting three hits. Two of Cap- tain Extra's were for three bases. The Democrats scored in every inning except the third and fifth. Their big inning came in the sixth when they pushed across six runs. King opened this inning with a fielder's choice and scored on a triple by Captain Extra and then Robinson. West. Giles, “Nasty” Maston and “Knee-pants Eoff all followed with hits.

The game was the fastest on record for local high schools, being played in an hour and twenty minutes. Jefferson was first to score. She chased two runs across in the fourth inning. Robinson led off with a single, was sacrificed to second by Giles, West beat out a bunt and Robinson was safe at third. West stole second and 1’lazier pounded out an infield hit and Robinson scored, West taking third. Eoff and West then worked the scpieeze play, West scoring. Again in the fifth Jefferson scored, this time with four markers. Captain Extra led off with a two-base hit into the tennis courts, Geenty walked and “Spark-plug” Olney cleared the bags with a triple to right. Robinson struck out but Giles got a single, scoring Olney, Giles taking second on the throw to home. West sacrificed and Giles scored. Jimmy Eoff held Roosevelt helpless for six innings. In this time he struck out ten men. In the sixth inning Llewelyn for Roosevelt led off with a single, then Eoff walked Wall and Olsen, and Extra let Hagen’s grounder get away from him and two runs raced home. Robertson then drove out a timely single. Hagen was caught trying to make third. Boyce then took the mound for Jefferson. Stearns greeted him with a double and Learned a single, but Stearns was held at third and Lott ended the inning with a grounder to third base. The Rough Riders again scored in the eighth on a double by Llewelyn and a single by Anderson. Following is the box score: Jefferson Roosei elt— B. H. R. E. B. H. R. E.

The team appears to be much better balanced than any squad for several sea- sons. The sprints are well cared for as usual, and the dis- tance events are not to be disregarded. The field and weight events are stronger than before. Westerman, Extra, Clark, I lemmings and Renshaw are the sprinters. Little need to be said about their ability to “dash”. Overstreet. Joy, Bollam and Peterson are a good distance quartet, while Riggs, Lockwood, Burk and Pender- gass are doing the best high hurdling. Clark is the main stay in the low sticks. Bracher and Crawley are both doing eleven feet in the pole vault, with Grunland close behind them. Crawford is the big surprise in the high. He is doing five feet six inches and five feet seven inches in pre- season work. Renshaw is doing the best work in the broad jump at twenty feet. He and Stevenson also throw the discus over one hundred ten feet. Stevenson. Renshaw, Hemmings and Giles form a good quartet of shot putters. All do better than thirty-eight feet. Putnam and Gross- mayer are throwing the javelin over one hundred forty feet. The first meet of the year was a cross-country run against Reed college. Swank of Jefferson won handily. Stone of Reed was second, while Overstreet. Peterson, Joy and Bollam finished next in order. The same team turned in another victory against Co- lumbia University a week later. Following the cross- country run was a dual meet in which the Democrats won from the preppers by a score of 33 to 45. The following Monday the squad decisively defeated V ancouver High at Vancouver. Jerry Extra was the star by winning three first places. The next big event was the relay carnival. Jefferson won both the Junior and Senior cups. The final score stood Jefferson 19 to Franklin’s 11. our nearest competitor. Fxtra. Renshaw. Hemmings and Westerman won the 880 relay in 1 :36, while the same team, except Clark in Hem- mings’ place, won the 440 relay in the record time of 44.4. The shotput team, composed of Renshaw. Stevenson, Giles and Hemmings. won that event with a total of 149 feet. The medley team placed third. The Junior team won both the 440 and 880 easily. The two mile team was the only team that failed to place. However, it ran a good race. 102 The Spectrum June, 192$ Wednesday following the relay carnival, the squad won a triangular at Reed College against Reed and Columbia Cniversity. The track was heavy and slow so no startling times were recorded. The next Saturday, May 5, the team journeyed to Cor- vallis to take on the O. A. C. rooks. The freshman team came out victorious by a 74 to 42 score. Although de- feated, the squad showed up exceedingly well. Westerman starred by flashing across the tape ahead of Ortell, O. A. C.’s star sprinter. Extra also finished ahead of him in the 220 yard dash. Al. Bracher won the pole vault at 10 ft. in., while Crawley finished second at 10 ft. 6 in. Steven- son tossed the shot 40 ft. 6. in., hut that wouldn’t place against the “beef trust”. The meet was featured by several close finishes. Peterson lost the quarter mile race by a hair’s breadth. With another foot to go he would have won. Overstreet ran a nice race in the half mile and lost by inches after a hard sprint. Joy also ran a sensational finish in the mile. The 880 relay topped off a good day and giving the spectators a thrill. Extra ran an even race with the rooks’ lead off man and passed the baton two yards ahead of O. A. C. Renshaw, running second, held his own hut failed to increase the lead. In the exchange of batons O. A. C. gained, and Hemmings, the third man, had too big a lead to overcome. Westerman was anchorman for Jef- ferson and Ortell was running last for O. A. C. With three yards to make up, Westerman tore into the straightaway and slowly closed the distance, and then passed Ortell, fin- ishing first in one minute and thirty-four seconds, which was two seconds better than the relav carnival time. 16a The Spectrum June, 1923 g'l.iir.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimniiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiininiiiiiiiiii'tiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHKiiQ I After Graduation- | I What?

Every one needs this protection and every young man or woman should provide for their old age by starting early in life to safe- guard their finances in later years. Of 100 people at age 25, 36 will die before expiration of 40 years, 1 will be wealthy, 4 will be independent, 5 will be | laboring for a livelihood and 54 will be entirely dependent upon others for a living. What will your condition be? Think it over now and act. At age 16. for instance, a 20-year cumulative income policy provides as follows: $1000 cash or $653.9S cash and paid up § policy for $1000, or in lieu of cash surrender, policy holder may take a paid up certificate for $2975. Consider now what this policy will do for you. It would enable a person at 36 years of age to obtain necessary funds to finance a life’s vocation which provision too few young people regard seriously. The cost of tills investment is small and the farsighted young man or woman of today will see the wisdom in taking out a policv = of this kind.
