Hopkin Jenkins NOT EVENING BUT DAI Our Departure Dorothy Armstrong As our last term’s slowly ending, As we leave our dear old high, Who goes on without lamenting? Who leaves Jeff without a sigh? Here we made true, lasting friendships; Here we all had pleasant times. Now our duties come before us; We must now seek other climes. But dear Jeff’rson, our high school, Teachers and our friends we leave, Though we separate in body, We in spirit ne'er shall cleave. Class Song Music by Betty Horstman Words by Betty Shively We have now had our fun and our studies, And we'll start on the long narrow way, But we’ll never forget the dear friends that we met, Though we are far away. Chorus Oh Jefferson ! Our high school, Our model truly told; Four years of work and pleasure In our menrry we will hold. We’ve tackled and been victors. Our standards ever high! We’ll look to you with hearts e’er true. The Jan. Class says “Good-bye”. You have been a true pal through our troubles, You have shown us the light and the way, And we’ll always be true to your gold and your blue, For we shall always say— Oh Jefferson! Our high school, Our model truly told; Four years of work and pleasure In our menTry we will hold. We’ve tackled and been victors. Our standards ever high! We’ll look to you with hearts e’er true.

The Senior Prom! And we of the Jan. 26 Class bid you a fond farewell, Oh Jefferson! —Margaret Johnson, Secretary. 27 The Spectrum January, 1926 Class Prophecy Bill Smith was about as common as his name. He was no professor for he had had but a meager education, but in spite of this fact he conceived an idea hitherto unthought of. He visualized the whole universe as being composed of planetary systems similar to our own. According to his theory, these systems were identical in every respect except that some had progressed further in civilization than others. In other words, one of the stars you see twinkling so faintly and far distant on a clear night, could be a planet similar in every respect, including people and geographical contour, to our own earth except that it might be five, ten, twenty or more years behind or in advance of our own world. In order to find out what was to happen on this earth in twenty years, one would only have to go to the planetary system that was twenty years in advance of our own and see for himself what was then going on. To fill some gaps in past history one would only have to go to a planetary system that was then going through that stage of history. In accordance with this theory Bill Smith built a ma- chine to travel from one planetary system to another and with this contrivance lie went sailing around through space, seeing with his own eyes things that men study years in hooks to learn. He soon acquired a vast world of knowl- edge that would have been envied by any professor. Of course, no one believed in his theories and so he kept them pretty much to himself, using his contrivance to amuse himself rather than to aid in bettering conditions on this world. Our own class president, Charles Laird, heard about the theory of Bill Smtih and the idea finally came to him that there must be a Jefferson High School on some other planetary system and this Jefferson High School must have had or was going to have a January Nineteen Twenty-six Class like our own. Now if this were the case why not send to the planetary system twenty-five years in advance of our own and find out what their January Nineteen Twenty-six Class was doing after the passage of the twenty-five years? With this idea in mind, Mr. Laird commissioned Mr. Smith to go to the planetary system twenty-five years in advance to find out what we would all be doing after the lapse of that much time. Mr. Smith left in his queer machine with a list of all the members of this class. When he returned to this world he gave Mr. Laird the following written report. How lie acquired this informa- tion we are not prepared to say for he died shortly after his 28 January, 1926 The Spectrum return. The truth of his theories you can judge for your- self, but if this report holds true after twenty-five years have passed, we can do no more than hail Mr. Smith as a great scientist and inventor. ❖ Mr. Laird: In accordance with the commission which you con- ferred upon me, I would like to submit the following report of what the members of the Class of January Nineteen Twenty-six will be doing twenty-five years from now. This report is based upon things I have seen with my own eyes upon the planetary system twenty-five years in advance of this system. Henry Baldridge is president of the Baldridge Auto Company, one of the largest manufacturers of high class automobiles in existence. Jack Crombie is slowly acquiring a fortune as he climbs up the ladder of successful farming. The booming of the town of Oceanbay is largely due to the efforts of Audrey Johnston, who is greatly interested in real estate there. The golf championship of the United States seems to fall easily to Isaac Staples, who has won it five consecutive years. Susan Broadbent is quite a capable chaperon at Jean Skovborg’s girls’ summer camp. Marjorie Hertsche has just completed a screen triumph entitled ‘‘The Last War”, with Charles Harris playing the villain’s part. Jack Irwin’s luxurious cafe is known far and wide. Wonderful dance music is provided by Ralph Reichle’s or- chestra, in which Eugene Mather plays the bass horn. Labor troubles have quieted down considerably since Bob McCauley became leader of that party. As a policeman George Schroeder is doing much to help preserve law and order. Betty Shively, Helen Blakkolb and Betty Horstman have formed a wonderful dancing troupe and are doing a very high grade of ballet dancing. Margaret Johnson has spent most of her time and money in collecting antique furniture. Her collection is now quite complete. Ethel Head is proprietress of a drug store and has hired Maxine Lyster to run the soda fountain. Palm Beach sees quite a good deal of LeRoy Hall when he is not under arrest for speeding. 29 The Spectrum January, 1926 Melvin Kelly is a sport editor and always delights in writing about the feats of Frank Mimnaugh, who is Amer- ica’s most popular all around athlete, or of Lillie Leeding, the chamipon Olympic swimmer. The one reel comedies that Jack Gilbert is now pro- ducing are being well received by the public and the critics say he is well fitted for his work. Edna Barber had made a successful marriage with a well known stage manager. As a society reporter Carolyn Caldwell writes quite often about Ethel Jean Burton, who is very active in club work. The beautification of women seems to be a successful profession for Aurlie Davey, beauty doctor; Bernice Brown, manicurist; Audra Keller, hairdresser; and Lucile Fox, demonstrator of a new beauty clay. One of the big railroad companies is employing Ray- mond Foster as a tie walker. Ruth Hamilton is the wife of a Southern Oregon fruit grower. Charles Laird is a stock broker on Wall Street (St. Johns). Lucile Larson and Helen Jessen are running a combined curio and needlework shop at a popular beach resort. A hunting expedition has just returned from the wilds of South America. The expedition was led by Charles Gray. Among his party were Donald Dilley, who took motion pictures of the trip, and Dorothy Resler, who will write a book based on their discoveries. Burton Murphy, congressman, has a competent campaign worker in Harriette Holland. In the government service we have William Gleeson, forest ranger, and Harry Wood, life guard. May Wu is the proprietress of a Chinese tea room. One of her most consistent customers is Chiyoko Makino, the Chinese ambassador to the I nited States. Those in the class who are following the musical line are Isabel McKenny, violin teacher; Kathryn Long, opera singer; and Violet Thoren, concert singer with Marian Akeson as her accompanist. Few speeders get by Alfred Drew on the section of the road where he is a posted speed cop. All the mail order houses are trying to outbid each other and secure Robert Davis as their correspondence manager. The contract has just been let to Arnold Smith for the construction of a new million dollar club house. The plans were drawn by Richard Wilson. The interior decorating 30 January, 1926 The Spectrum will be done by Lois Manchester and the rugs will be fur- nished by Golden and Bloom, importers of oriental rugs. Bert Tousey is running a short order house down near the depot. The papers are quite full of the coming case of Ruth- ellyn Hawley, who is suing for breach of promise. Jean Auld is the lawyer for the defendant. Ruth Cate is the manager of an advertising company. She has just succeeded in landing the contract for the adver- tising of Paramount Pictures. Dorothy Armstrong is a very competent author and literary critic. A drive had just been completed to collect money to aid the poor people in the slums of the big cities of America. The success of this drive was largely due to Janette Gun- ther and Elsie Hedstrom, who worked tirelessly in collect- ing money and in supervising the drive. Dolores Leavens has had wonderful success in training animals. Her wild parrot act is a revelation to see. Those who are heading successful families are Anna Carlson, Bernice Walker and Gladys Sax. They all seem to be thriving under the rigors of married life. Evelyn Carter has designed some wonderful creations in ladies’ wear for this spring. Ruth Cummins is handling children successfully in her day nursery. Carl Roes has just completed building a wonderful home with his newly acquired millions. The landscape gardening was done by Hazel Coulter, who had made a special study of this work. The co-eds at one of Oregon’s most prominent institu- tions are very fond of their dean. Helen Wolf. Professor Rankin also ranks very high in their esteem. John Sclmeller in his capacity as mail carrier does not enjoy the popularity of Margaret Muncy, who is receiving a flood of mail from all her screen admirers. Under the combined efforts of Grace Pidcoe and Doctor Young radium will soon take its place as one of the leading medicines. Gordon McDowell recently brought his steamer into port after an extended visit in the South Seas. He brings back rumors of a huge aquatic animal supposed to have been seen there. Ridgeway Johnstone and Rosser Atkin- son are thinking seriouly of following up the rumor. Many cities have vied in the attempt to get Alice Ross as their investigator of factory conditions, but she seems to like her home town best. 31 The Spectrum January, 1926 Recently Lena Freeman gave up her career as a private secretary and married her employer. She finds housekeep- ing quite different. The long considered tunnel under the Willamette is at last under construction with Hubert Leabo in charge. Scappoose, which hasn’t grown for about fifty years, has at last been boosted along by the erection of a modern grocery store owned by George Springer. His only com- petitor is Walter Maguire. Kristine Nordahl, as a demonstrator for the Baldridge Auto Company, has almost persuaded Florence Pauly and her husband that they need a car for driving back and forth from their sheep ranch. Verna Ward, unanimously elected a member of the school board at the last election, is busy trying to give all the schools modern improvements. Jazz music still holds sway with the younger set, and Betty Read, the pianist at Remick’s, is one of its chief promoters in Portland. Anna Freund is the Spanish correspondent for a large firm in South America. After many years as a successful stenographer on a big liner. Hazel McDonald has become a writer of character stories. Isabel Stevenson and Jane Stipe have established an ex- clusive ladies’ clothing shop and have hired Ethele Don- nell as a model. Frieda Mostert has recently been promoted from assist- ant cashier to cashier in one of the large banks. If Charles Southard succeeds in carrying out his present plan he will be a strong competitor of young Ford. Edward Vennewitz left Portland yesterday for a two thousand mile hike to deliver to President Underwood an invitation to be Portland’s guest during the World’s Fair. Europe, too, sees many of the class. At the present time Helen Doyle is conducting a tour through Germany. I11 her party are Nan Thom and Helen Ready. The educational world has claimed Florence Swanson, an authority on Greek, and Nellie Fredericksen, an art teacher. Lillian Rudeen has been busy for the past several weeks painting china for Margaret Moss, who is the wife of a retired business man. Henry Drewfs has gone in for the higher things in life. He is a stunt aviator of note. Clifton Skinner is now en route to London where he 32 January, 1926 The Spectrum will attend a conference of electrical and radio engineers. He is planning to advance his theory on radio. In a recent educational tour around the world Pauline Lucas visited the mission of Elizabeth Rogers and Florence Verhoven in China. At the termination of the visit, she admitted that missionary life is not without its thrills. Charles Marett is the principal stockholder in the Port- land Ball Club. The theater directory of New York gives Doris Evans, chorus girl; Nelson Wetzel, acrobat; and Margaret Seeley, organist. Annabelle Moore is a companion to an elderly lady. Irma Miller is an instructor of domestic economy with Ruth Lindstedt in charge of her experimental kitchen. Signed, —Bill Smith.

[SEAL] January, 1926 The Spectrum Mitchell vs. Poe Helen Blakkolb OB walked gloomily up the street toward school. Poor Bob! lie was struggling with an awful problem. Air. Sprague had said that every mem- ber of the English Four class absolutely had to write a story or flunk. Now Bob had never writ- ten a story, and he didn’t intend to. His sister to write one for him because she was using her spare time preparing a brief for a debate. Even the girl friends who usually got his lessons for him refused to write his story because they all had to write one, too—and why invite brain fever by doing double work? When he arrived in his first period class, Bob was sur- prised to find that nearly everyone had already written the prescribed story. In fact, he was the only one who hadn't. He racked his brain for a plot at the last minute, but it was of no use. He couldn't think of a single thing. The last bell rang, and the class began. It was too late now, so he would have to flunk. “Answer roll call by saying whether or not you are prepared ’ commanded Mr. Sprague. Good grief! Admit before the whole class that he was too dumb to write a story? Well, I guess not! So Bob answered “Yes when his name was called out. “All right! Now, before you hand them in we'll hear some of these masterpieces ’ announced Air. Sprague. “Robert Alitchell, you may read yours.” Bob blinked hard. Had he really been asked to read his story? He had meant to go up to the desk after class and use the age-old excuse that of course, he had written an excellent story, but had unfortunately left it on the writing desk at home, but—Air. Sprague had asked him to read it! He began fumbling through his books. “Now where in the—?” he muttered. “Gosh, I can't find it, Air. Sprague. I guess I must have left it in my registration room.” AFr. Sprague, busy with his grade book, caught the last phrase, “left it in my registration room.” “Well, go and get it,” he snapped, losing his rather short temper. “It's a pity you fellows can’t bring your work to class with you when you come.” Now Bob knew there was no story in his desk, but the humiliation would be more than he could stand if he ad- mitted the fact, so he got lip and hurried out of the room. He wandered aimlessly down the hall and was surprised to 39 refused The Spectrum January, 1926 find himself in front of his registration room. Well, he might as well look; he might find something that would do, so he went in and began to search frantically through his books. There wasn’t a sign of a story to be found. He even looked in his chum's desk, but luck was against him. He’d be willing to bet anybody there wasn't a single story in the whole school! After much shuffling of papers, lie was warned by the teacher in the room that his presence was annoying, so lie slammed out the door. Well, he guessed the only thing he could do was to go home. Surely Mr. Sprague wouldn’t expect him to come back to class without a story, and he didn't propose to do it. lie went down one flight of stairs and had started down a second, when he saw on the step below him a couple of typewritten sheets. He picked them up, and wonder of all wonders, there was a story right before his eyes! Still in a daze, he walked back to his English room. Assuming an attitude of scornful superiority, he entered the room and took his seat. A shocked look appeared 011 every face in the room, even Mr. Sprague’s. “This is an agreeable surprise,” he said. “You may read it and we’ll see what sort of an author you are. Bob cleared his throat and began. As he read, the plot grew so complex and interesting that he almost forgot where he was and read with more or less expression. He finished with a flourish and sat down. There was a dead silence. Funny Mr. Sprague didn’t comment upon it. It was really a bully story, to say the least. Whoever wrote it knew what he, or she, was doing. “What’s the matter? Bob stammered at last. “Pretty good story, wasn’t it? “Yes, replied Mr. Sprague. “It is considered one of the best Edgar Allen Poe ever wrote. Memories I. Stevenson Sometimes we smile at nothing; We laugh with hollow tones: And life glides by like brooks run dry Down beds of quiet stones. And dreams rise up before us Out of the long ago. And come to pain and hurt us here I ’util we cease to know. 40 January, 1926 The Spectrum The Doll House Susie Broadbent HIS is my doll room,” said Mr. Cole to me as he led me into a room filled with dressed dolls. Mr. Cole was an eccentric old man who had spent all the spare moments of his life modeling dolls., These dolls represented those persons who had appeared before the footlights on an American stage. They ranged from the artists of the operatic world to the most unimportant chorus girl of the Ziegfield Fol- lies. “As you see. Miss Milton,” continued Mr. Cole, “they have their names pinned on them. And now, if you will excuse me. I will return to my work. I will he hack soon.” Thus speaking, he withdrew, and I was left gazing stupidly at rows upon rows of dolls. After I had examined certain of the most interesting ones, I sat down to await his return. It seemed that I had been seated only a minute when a doll, who, I read, repre- sented A1 Jolson, stepped down from his shelf and ad- dressed the great opera star, Mary Garden. “Say, Mary,” he called familiarly, “Fve always wanted to sing with you. Hop down from your perch and let’s sing some jazz.” Mary Garden turned an amused yet horrified face to him. “What! I, the great artist, sing jazz! And with you ?” she laughed in a most disagreeable manner. “That is absurd!” Just then another doll jumped down and ran over to the two. “Madam, did this man insult you?” he demanded gazing angrily at Mr. Jolson. To my amazement, I saw it was Caruso. Before Mary Garden could answer, another doll in frills and fluffs danced over to A1 Jolson. “Ah, come on, Al,” she trilled, I could not read her name, “leave 'em alone. They think they are so much better than we. Let’s show them how to sing.” “That’s a bright idea. Sister,” cried Al, joyfully, and he led her out to the middle of the room where they began to sing that celebrated jazz piece, entitled: “Yes, sir: That’s My Baby.” I, wondering what Mary Garden and Caruso thought of this proceeding, turned my attention back to them. Caruso was speaking again, “Miss Garden,” he said, “when they have finished their foolish song, let us show them what real 41 The Spectrum January, 1926 artists can do. Will you honor me, Madam, by singing with me?” he ended grandly. As A1 Jolson led his little chorus girl back to her shelf, Caruso led Mary Garden to the middle of the room. I had expected part of an opera, or at least something impressive, but to my amazement they sang ‘‘Old Black Joe”. Just as they began to sing the last chorus, I heard a door open, and jumping up, I saw Mr. Cole entering the room. “Ah, Miss Milton,” he said, apologetically, “I did not mean to keep you waiting so long. Did you see all my dolls? Now this one is a very interesting one.” As he talked he picked up a small Chinese doll. I was looking for the performers in the middle of the room, but the floor was empty, and they were safely on their shelves. “Why, I must have been asleep,” I murmured, not real- izing that I spoke aloud. “Pardon me. Miss Milton?” queried my host. “It was nothing,” I rejoined quickly, “only I must be leaving. It is growing late.” “Well, you must come again when I can explain some of these dolls with whom you are not familiar,” he said as he bade me goodbye at the door. “I became acquainted with four in a most unexpected way,” I thought as I rode home. 42 January, 1926 The Spectrum Radio Broadcast Clifton Skinner One of the best modern conveniences is radio broadcast. It enables the people of the entire country, as they sit com- fortably in their homes, to enjoy the latest news, to receive the best music, and to hear the greatest lectures. A person does not even have to read to ‘‘keep up with topics of the day.” The old, whose eyes are poor for reading, enjoy radio by the hour. The laboring man, who is too tired to read after working all day, will listen all evening to radio. The house wife enjoys radio music during the day while she is working. Radio is a convenient way to educate and entertain the country. Radio is built up of two distinct parts. The first part is a sending station where the program is transformed into electrical waves which are sent out into the air at a definite wave length. The second part is a receiving apparatus capable of tuning to the desired wave length and trans- forming the electrical waves back to audible sounds. The first part is expensive and is usually operated by a large concern, while the second part is inexpensive and generally operated by a common family. Two distinct parts are neces- sary to broadcast radio. Radio broadcast will continue to exist until a greater means of communication is invented. Although radio broad- cast started as a novelty it soon proved its worth as enter- tainment. The speed with which news is given out is un- excelled by any other means. The large audience obtainable by radio is not gained by any other means. It is efficient and cheap to operate by a body. Radio broadcast is fasci- nating, entertaining and educational. Radio will be fore- most in communication until it is surpassed by something unthought of by men today. Anyone can afford radio broadcast. The actual broad- casting is taken care of by large concerns who derive bene- fits from it indirectly, and the person receiving it does not have to worry about its finances. All the receiver has to worry about is a receiving set. A person with tfery little means can afford a crystal set which can be obtained at a cost of “from a dollar and up,” and will enable a person to hear local broadcast. If a person has more money to spend on radio he may buy a tube set which ranges in price from twenty-five dollars up to several hundred dollars. There is a radio set for every pocketbook so that everyone may enjoy the broadcasting. 43 The Spectrum January, 1926 The Pilgrim May VVu Up the stairs of education To the halls of fame Climbed a very weary pilgrim With his soul aflame. Up three flights of tiring stair steps Each meant victory; Grade school, high school, on thru college! Could he win all three ? His ambition spurred him onward, Stop he never would. Ever in his mind the tho’t was That win out he could. “If I rest Pll stop forever; Never gain the heights Here remain among the quitters; They did not make their flights. Half the group who with me started Thought too much of fun, Looking up from Grammar Grades there Failed the race to run. Of the twenty then left with us, Nineteen now are gone, Just because the flight called High School Beckoned only one. There was seen beside that stairway, Radiant and bright Piles of glittering gleaming gold coins Which lured from the fight. Just because the gold now tempts me, Here I must not rest! Just beyond this third flight, college— Fame, both treasures best!” Thus reasoned our valiant hero, Thus he labored on. Thus he struggled up each stairway And the prize he won. 44 January, 1926 The Spectrum Luck Alfred Drew ERGEANT BLYTHE!” Yes, Sir. Coming, Sir!” Sergeant, take this over to Captain Blue, and for the love of Mike, hurry. If we don’t get the support of his guns, we’re done for. The phone line’s out so I can’t phone. Those darn Bodies are going to try a big drive right away. I just got the news from down the line.” Captain Howard of the Fourth Infantry put a folded paper into the sergeant’s hand, and with a last thought, said. You had better take that new motorcycle over there. It’s the last one we have out of our allotment, but it’s in good shape, just uncrated this morning. This war sure is hard on motorcycles; we’ve lost nine in the last thirty-six hours and I don’t know where any more are coming from. And say. Sergeant, you had better hurry; there goes the first of Fritz’s barrages now. Be sure to get there; we’re depending on you.” As he spoke a num- ber of shells burst along the line in front of their trenches making an apparently impenetrable wall of smoke behind which the Germans could advance in comparative invisibility. Sergeant Blythe ducked into his dugout, grabbed his pistol, buckled it on and then ran over to where the motor- cycle was standing. Gee, it sure is tough to have to ruin a good machine like this by racing it before it is broken in. Well, it can’t be helped. This is no place for sentiment, especially about machinery.” He got on the machine, started its motor, snapped it into gear, slammed in the clutch and was off down the road in a cloud of dust, spurred on by the thought that the lives of hundreds of men depended on his ability to bring them support from Captain Blue’s Battery of 155’s down the road. This road was in a fairly good state of repair, thanks to an unusually long dry spell and the laxness of the German artillery in that section. No sooner had he shifted into high gear, than he opened the throttle wide and then reached down and opened the auxiliary air port in the car- buretor in order to get all the possible speed out of his machine. He thought to himself as the motor fairly jumped ahead in response to the wide open throttle. Gee, she sure is running like a dream, even though she is stiff. Good thing The Spectrum January, 1926 the factory knows that we don’t have time to break them in and makes them a little loose for us. It sure is a shame to burn up good machines as they do over here. Harry’s machine only lasted him a week and a half and he didn’t”— Crash!! , When Blythe had picked himself up out of a half filled shell hole he expected to find his motor in pieces. “Gosh!” He hadn’t seen that patch of sand until he was right on top of it. But thanks to all that is lucky, when he picked up his machine, the only thing he could find wrong with it was a rather long crack in the frame. “Oh, well; it prob- ably won’t break through before I reach the battery.” “Ouch! My hack. Must have hit pretty hard,” he thought as a stabbing pain shot through the small of his hack. “It sure is going to hurt like the deuce every time I hit a bump. Well, pain isn’t anything when a whole bunch of one’s pals is expecting you to save them.” So once more he was off down the road, his machine roaring like a thing possessed. A steady blue flame was showing at the end of the exhaust pipe and the wind roared in his ears like a demon. Oh, how his hack was hurting now. Every bump sent a spasm of pain clear through him. His eyes felt as though someone were pressing his fingers into them, the pressure of the wind was so great. Tears streamed out of them and flew off the back of his cheeks. “Gee, but this motor sure can travel.” He was going faster than he had ever gone before in his life. Well, he was almost there, but the crack in his frame had lengthened; now it was almost through. He could almost see it lengthen. It had to hold, it had to! Gee, the old engine was getting pretty hot, too. The exhaust pipes leading from the cylinders were beginning to take on a rosy hue, and his engine was starting to develop a sort of a drumming noise instead of a smooth roar, showing that the terrific speed was beginning to tell on the stiff new parts of the engine. He would have to turn. Gosh, it wouldn’t loosen; the float in the carburetor was stuck. By some miracle he managed to take the turn at full speed and thundered on down the road. He could cut his ignition and stop but why do that now, no more turns in the road and the battery almost in sight and a bunch of fellows depending on you for their lives. But a hot flash went over him when he suddenly re- membered that a stuck float meant a leaking carburetor, and goodbye Sergeant, if any gasoline got on those hot 46 January, 1926 The Spectrum exhaust pipes. And, oh, how his back hurt! His head was starting to swim with pain, and the last time he had looked at the crack in the frame it had lacked only a quarter of an inch of being through. He surely wasn’t having any of the luck he had always bragged about today. Ah! There was the battery right ahead, but little wisps of white vapor were beginning to stream out from the engine where the gasoline from the carburetor was starting to drip on the hot cylinders. Might break into flame any minute now and then, bang would go his gas tank and himself with it. Could he reach the battery first? He would! Oh, horrors, his front wheel was starting to wobble. That must be through now. Gee, what a flop he would take if it broke away. Well, there went the gas. With a puff the dripping gasoline burst into flame and crept up round his legs. The wind might blow it out; but, no, not now, it had spread too much to hope for that. Well, why didn’t the darn thing blow up and be done with it. Well, here was the battery, but how was he going to stop before he blew up? He couldn’t shut off the gas and if he cut the ignition and used his brake, he would very likely be in pieces before he came to a stop, and then what if they couldn’t find his message. All that ride would have been in vain and maybe a whole regiment might perish just because they did not have artillery support. Well, there was only one thing to do and that was to jump! Awful hard thing to do though while going eighty miles an hour, but it couldn’t be helped. With a sudden resolve he threw himself off the side with his Captain’s words, “Be sure to get there, we’re depending on you,” ringing in his ears. When he woke up in the field hospital with his head and back swathed in bandages, his first words were, “Did Cap- tain Blue get the message?” A smiling young attendant answered him, “So I hear. Sure some ride you had!” “Yeah, but of all the rotten luck. T always thought I was pretty lucky but Lady Luck sure deserted me today.” “Say, what are you talking about. Luck? Why before that motorcycle hit the ground after you jumped, the frame broke apart and then she blew into a million pieces!” All that he heard in return was, “Whew, that’s differ- ent. Say, give me a cigarette, will you?” 47 The Spectrum January, 1926 Camera Thoughts Dolores Leavens Because a camera shows us how we look to others, many of us are wont to blame it for its inability to portray us as we would like to be. Of course, it does not bring out our coloring but some of us may be thankful for that very thing. The camera should be admired as a wonderful in- vention instead of being blamed for not making us more beautiful than nature made us. If the camera could have thoughts and express them, perhaps we would feel differently toward it. Let us imagine these are its thoughts for one day. “This morning I heard my master say he was going to take pictures of a few more members of the graduating class. That’s always the way—I never get credit for doing the work, and he even complains about being tired when all he does is to tell the victim how to look at me and then give me the signal to do my work. “The first subject has arrived and my master is getting him ready. He seems to be in pain—poor fellow. I’ll do the best I can for him because I hate to see anyone suffer. “This next one would never win a beauty prize, but judging from her action, I imagine she thinks she could. “This one isn't bad—for a boy. He seemed to be afraid to smile until my master reminded him that he wasn’t facing a judge to receive sentence for speeding. That usually makes them smile. “Words could never describe this one. He looks like he’s been in a wreck—football player, no doubt. “This next girl seems willing to smile—she has pretty teeth. “I wanted to hide when I saw this cross looking girl come. My master tried to cheer her up by telling her to see the little birdie on the camera, but she just said, ‘How ridiculous,’ and looked bored. I deserve a medal for bravery after that. “This boy is as freckled as a turkey egg. I suppose I’ll see spots the rest of the day. “If they were all like this girl, a camera's life would be a dream. After a day of strenuous work, I always like to finish with something like this. “I thought my work was over, but here come the bride and groom. This is always amusing because my master usually quotes some silly little verses to get the right effect. He got it this time, too. They both sighed as he took the picture, and we had to do it all over. “Well, I guess that's a day. My master is covering me over so I won’t get dusty.” 48 January, 1926 The Spectrum Hidden Gold Elizabeth Rogers HE oak log in the fire place crackled and blazed. The warm glow and wavering shadows of the flames pervaded the room. Curios from distant lands that suggested all kinds of mysterious and strange stories were everywhere in the room for it was grandfather’s den. Before the fire was a com- Morris chair and also an occupant toasting his toes before the fire. Curled up on the hearth was a cat purring loudly and absorbing the warmth of the fire. Such a peace- ful scene can never last very long, especially, when grand- father is at home—grandfather, who has traveled all over the world and who knows the best stories. The door burst open and in ran Dick, and Janice, and Norman. Do tell us a story. Grandfather!” they all de- manded in unison. Tell us about a treasure, please,” pleaded little six- year-old Dick. “I want a story about Australia,” teased Janice. No, Grandfather, tell 11s about a robber,” said Norman. “Robbers do lots more thrilling things.” All right, children. I’ll tell you about all three if you will sit down and be quiet,” agreed dear old Grandfather. When they were settled with Dick on Grandfather’s knee, Janice on the arm of his chair and Norman at his feet, grandfather began his story: Gardiner was a bush-ranger in Australia in the seven- ties. A bush-ranger is the same as our highwayman only he robs people in the mountain's. The Australians call their woods the bush. See! Well. Gardiner was a bush-ranger in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. A very crafty bush-ranger he was, too, but he never shot a man in all his life. His last robbery happened on the road be- tween the gold mines and Sydney. He and his partner found out when the escort was coming and so made a plan to capture the gold. An escort is one of those old-fashioned coaches which carry the gold from the mine to Sydney in this case. There was a bend in the road like the bend in your elbow and Gardiner and his partner took a bullock team (ox team) and placed it across the road right in that hend. His partner hid in the bush and he got behind the bullock team. An’ then, when the escort came down, of course it had to stop. fortable 49 The Spectrum January, 1926 The six troopers and the driver didn’t know what to make of it, and, before they could figure out what to do, Gardiner’s partner had fired his gun into the air and they both rushed up and bound and gagged those men, seven men! Just think two men against seven who had weapons! There were 90,000 ounces of gold in that escort. Yes, there were, and Gardiner and his partner took it all. They buried it in the bush of the Blue Mountains. Gardiner’s partner was caught and put in prison, but he died soon afterwards. Gardiner made a daring escape into Queensland and there for nine years he worked honestly as a carpenter, which was his original trade. But since your sins are sure to find you out, one, whom Gardiner considered his best friend, in a fit of anger told where he was. Gardiner was arrested and taken to Sydney for trial. The court gave him a life sentence, but somehow didn’t feel safe with him in the country so they promised to let him go if he would leave the country. He came to Cali- fornia and kept a saloon in San Francisco, for that was in the days before prohibition. Gardiner seemed to have re- formed, so the California government did not bother him; but they warned Australia not to send any more of her criminals here. Gardiner lived there for a long time and found another partner whom he thought he could trust. Many times had Gardiner pictured himself going back to Australia and getting the buried gold, but it seemed too daring a thing for him to do. People had gone all through the bush and had dug in vain to find the gold he had hidden. Gardiner drew up a plan showing where each casket of gold had been buried and was going to send his new partner to Australia to get the gold for him. The boat was due to sail for Australia in a very short time when his friend came for the plan. Gardiner was just handing his partner the plan, when for some unknown reason lie changed his mind, and tore the plan into shreds and threw it into the fire. A few years later Gardiner died and the gold has never been found.” “Oh! breathed Dick. “When I grow up I’m going to find that treasure.” “And he never killed anyone. He must have been awful good,” exclaimed Norman, who had always been under the impression that robbers were murderers, too. Janice was beginning to beg for another story, but the clock in the hall struck nine and grandfather could hear mother’s step on the stairs. 50 January, 1926 The Spectrum “No more tonight, children, for it is bed-time and there is Mother waiting for you, Dicky boy,” said grandfather. The children are gone, the cat is asleep and the fire is growing low, but grandfather is still seated in the Morris chair with his thoughts in distant lands, probably in the Blue Mountains of Australia. Reflections F. Underwood Oh, the strength of a storm on a wintry night, The cold of the east wind’s blast! The hail, the snow, the blizzard’s might. All piled on a frail ship’s mast. The captain has ordered the decks to he cleared. The mate has lowered all sail, But the craft is nearly vertically reared By the mountainous waves and the gale. Oh, the fight of a crew at night in a storm. When life is a matter of chance. One slight mistake and a hundred will mourn The victory of death’s grim advance. The storm has passed, the wind is spent. The sun has warmed the day. The ship by the maddened gale though bent Sails calmly on her way. So fares the youth his studies o’er. Far out on life’s broad sea Beyond the breakers and the bar He’ll win the victory. 51 The Spectrum January, 1926 Kahuna’s Prophecy Helen Woi.f ARRIVED in Honolulu on Saturday, November the seventh, and the first thing that attracted my attention, besides the beauty of the place, of course, was a huge sign advertising the University of Hawaii—Town Team Game. This made positive the enjoyment of my trip even though it was for a business purpose, for I am an ardent football fan and I had not been able to attend a single game this season. I made up my mind at once to attend the game which was to be held on Armistice day. Armistice day found me at the gates of Mohili field, where the game was to be held, exceptionally early for was very anxious to see what kind of a game it would be. My expectations for the team and rooters were very meager in comparison with those of some of the mainland University games I had seen. was very curious, for it is hard to imagine a team made up of so many types of people since our teams and rooters are both composed of the same red blooded, spirited Americans. When the gates opened, I was amazed to see a large attendance, though the field was small. I was more amazed to see a husky, rugged, clean cut, and proud group of players bound onto the field, ready for action and full of pep and fight. Their rooters were just as loyal and their yells just as clever and snappy as those our schools have, and with all this excitement around me, I settled down to thoroughly enjoy the afternoon. As I am always interested in the colors being fought for, I particularly noticed the players' uniforms. They were a rich, dark green with a band of seven rainbow stripes about the sleeves and sox. This was quite an array of colors for a university, for they usually have only one or two, therefore T thought I would inquire about them from the man who was sitting next to me. I learned that he was an old resident of Honolulu and knew a great deal about it. “For, he informed me. “if you stay here very long, you will find many things have old stories or superstitions con- nected with them. There is a sort of superstition connected with those seven rainbow colors which I will tell you just as I have told others because I have attended almost every important game since the superstition originated, and I 52 January, 1926 The Spectrum have had many occasions to repeat it. As the game would not start for a while, 1 was glad to have something to interest me until it did. “Once,” he began, “years ago at a pep rally for an im- portant game a kahtuna (a Hawaiian fortune-teller) pre- dicted that if a rainbow should appear during the game the next day, Hawaii would win. A rainbow can he seen from this field nearly every afternoon for there are frequent showers in Manoa Valley where the University is situated, and in the afternoon at this field when it does rain in the valley, the sun in the West makes a rainbow apparently right over the University. Well, the next day came and the game was nearly over: there was no score and Hawaii was close to her goal line. Suddenly the rain began to fall and in Manoa Valley a gorgeous rainbow appeared as if by Providence over the University buildings in the distance. Remembering the Kahuna’s prophecy, the University took heart and won. Rver since, a rainbow has been a sign of victory, for though Hawaii has sometimes won with no rainbow, never has she lost when a rainbow hovered over her home in Manoa Valley.” I assured the man that this was one of the most interest- ing superstitions I had ever heard, and began to doubly en- joy the game which had just started. The Town Team put up a good fight but the University was better and the score ended fourteen to six in her favor. Much to, my regret a rainbow did not appear during the game, and perhaps it was for this reason that Hawaii’s goal was crossed for the first time since 1923. Our Teachers I. Stevenson We sometimes think you’re harsh And talk behind vour back. We ofttimes view our grades with awe And wonder what we lack. You help 11s on an upward path; You try to guide us through With deeds that build a character And knowledge deep and true. 53 The Spectrum January, 1926 Memories Verna Ward With a start John was awake, and realized rather guiltily that his room was quite light. Had he overslept? Would he he late for school? Then a sense of peace swept over him as he realized that he not only did not have to go to school today, but that he would never again go to high school. He had graduated, and although it was the middle of winter, he was out of school. How pleasant that “grad- uated” sounded. He reviewed leisurely in his mind the past three or four days. He had been thinking of the gradua- tion exercises as an ordeal that must be lived through, but they hadn't been so bad; rather, “they had sorta showed a fella how important it was to graduate,” and that now he was practically grown up. That week-end spent in Seattle had been pretty good, too. And today, Monday, the rest of the school would be starting the new term, he re- flected as he dressecj. “Poor things,” he remarked lightly as he went slowly down the stairs. Breakfast was ready, but he found that he had to eat alone as his father had already gone to work, and his sister to school. “Seems kinda queer,” he thought, “to be eating at nine o’clock. I suppose the rest of the school is probably in their rooms getting programs. Programs are rather like some game; you never know where you are going nor who will be there when you get there. He had sure been lucky last term, getting his subjects arranged just about as he wanted them. Dandy classes he had been in, too.” After finishing breakfast he washed his own dishes, as his mother was getting ready to go down town. He might as well get his wood up for the day, he thought, then he would have the whole day in which to do as he liked. He had planned to do several things as soon as he was through with school. He had been wanting to get his football and ice skates out. Of course he could hardly use them this morning. When the wood was up he wandered into the living room and picked up a hook he had found interesting when reading it at school, hut today for some reason he found it dull reading. Just then he heard his name called, and it was with relief that he admitted Tom, another one of the January class. 54 The Spectrum January, 1926 “Say!” asked Tom as soon as he was inside, “Isn’t it great not to be going to school today ?” “Darned right,” John answered. “Wonder who’s going to take Mr. Gregory’s place in the faculty?” “Dunno! Remember the time we had in his class with those Physics experiments, and how we worked at the end of the term ?” “Didn’t we though,” John answered. “They were kinda interesting though. Do you remember the time in the library that we were going to be sent out for talking and the fire bell rang?” “Yeah, and then the librarian forgot about it after- wards,” laughed Tom. “Say, I wonder if we will, I mean, they will win the track this year?” “Sure hope so, the track means such a lot to us, I mean to the school. Does seem kinda funny not to think of the school as our school, doesn’t it?” John asked. “Yes,” answered Tom, as he went toward the door, “she’s only a mem-o-ry no-w,” he said fitting the words to a popular song. “Only a memory,” thought John as he closed the door and went back into the empty house.

Sonnet on Grades Dorothy Armstrong The marks which teachers give to girls and hoys Are sometimes rather high or somewhat low: By while the latter teacher's made a foe. The former brings the students many joys. The disappointed scholars make a noise, And down the cheeks of downcast ones tears flow. Their parents chide the children who are slow And threaten to deprive them of their toys. But I think teachers try hard to he fair And give to children the best marks they dare So we should never grumble and complain And talk of them with all our might and main For after all it's really not their fault Because we do not know all that we ought. 5G me THE SPECTRUM Vol. 17 PORTLAND, OREGON, JANUARY, 1926 No. 4 The Spectrum is the official publication of the students of the Jefferson High School and is published by them monthly during the school year.

It does seem so at first, but think again. When our wishes are realized, do we always recognize them? No, we certainly do not. Man has elevated himself above all other animals by his dissatisfaction with what he has, and by his effort to obtain 7 J what he wants but cannot easily get. The crest of our civilization is not yet reached, and will not be reached until we become perfectly satisfied and contented with ourselves and with what we have, which state, when reached, will presage a rapid decline. The truthful answer to the above question cannot be illustrated better than at the present time. We have attained the height of our grammar school ambi- tion to be seniors in high school. Now that we have what we wished for, now that we are seniors, some are not satis- fied. They are convinced that what they have is not what they formerly believed it to be. so they aspire a step higher and go to college. Success follows. Others are tired of school. These want to earn their own living and have their independence as quickly as possible. They are perfectly satisfied with a high school education. “What’s the use of going on anyway ?” they say. Those who so reason have chosen the level on which they will always live, or at least one from which they must find it extremely difficult to raise themselves later. Before you make such an important decision, think it over carefully. Is it best to be satisfied with what we have, to choose on what plane of culture we shall always live, to achieve only that which is mediocre and ordinary? Or is it best to continually raise our standards as we reach them, and not to obey a fixed routine, but always to be ready to try something new. and finally to accomplish something that will not easily be forgotten? The question is in your hands only. Make your choice. THE COPYCAT How many people, despite their most earnest efforts, have not been copycats at one time or another? In fact, this human trait is evident everywhere. Who has not seen a row of houses built exactly alike, or nearly so? This monotony of architecture is all due to 58 January, 1926 The Spectrum the copycat instinct. What a pity people do not have a greater desire for originality and individuality! Recently sweat shirts and slickers have been the fad. Someone was inspired with the idea to make them a sign- board and immediately all the copycats did likewise. Even names are not safe from the copvcat. Why have so many people been called Edward or George recently? For the simple reason that the latest kings of England were so named. All famous men are victims of this. But the very worst kind of copycat is he who will imitate the actions and manners of other people. This type is most likely to imitate the actions and manners of their favorite movie star acquired after many faithful pilgrimages to the movies. Who profits by this besides the theatre? The former individuality of the copycat vanishes completely and he assumes that of his model. Perhaps it would help matters if people could take out copyrights on their man- ners, names, clothing and homes. But, who knows? —F. Swanson.

The gym was “all dressed up” in Hallowe’en colors for the occasion. General getting acquainted, skits by each of the rooms, dancing and refreshments of “luscious cider and dough- nuts” all helped contribute to the success of the evening. On November 6 we sponsored the movie, “The Sea Hawk,” which was fairly well attended at both afternoon and evening performances. The profits we received were sufficient to “tide us over” until next term when by a sale, an interesting movie, and a perfectly marvelous class play, we expect to earn more than enough to meet our expenses. You’ll hear more of us in the near future! —Naomi I Ion man. Secretary. LIVE WIRES The last meeting of the Live Wires was November 19. The purpose of the meeting was to decide how much money we should give to the Community Chest, and to award prizes for Spectrum subscriptions. We are giving the Community Chest fifteen dollars, the same amount that we gave last year. The prizes for Spectrum subscriptions are as follows: First Prize. Del McClure: Second Prize, Jess Winn; Freshman Prize, Robert Weller. The president asked for the co-operation of the students in selling tickets for the Class Play and Athletic Movie, which were held later on in the term. The meeting then adjourned. —Genevieve Hanson, Secretary. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club has accomplished several things during the last quarter. It has been decided to adopt room 51 A, where we have been holding our last few meetings, as our permanent club room. Decorations have been arranged, and the club is pleased with the effect. Also, the club has obtained two sets of slides illustrating the ruins of Ancient Rome from the University of Oregon, one of which was shown after school in the auditorium, Wednesday, December 16. The other set was shown at the regular meeting on the following Friday. We are making more plans for the future. —Lee Ruth Greer, Aedile. 86 January, 1926 The Spectrum THE PI DELTA EPSILON DEBATING SOCIETY On December second, the Pi Delts held a very successful lemon stick sale, and they wish to thank the student body for the support they gave. A cup has been presented to the school by the Pi Delts which will he awarded each term to the person who writes the best story for the Spectrum. The name of the winner each term will he engraved on the cup. The following new members were recently voted into the club: Albert Campbell, Jack Stipe and Robert Veness. These hoys have taken an active part in the work of the club and have proved that they will he good Pi Delts. At our meetings this term we have had some very in- teresting programs consisting of debates and talks on cur- rent topics. By the sign of the owl ye shall know us. —John Sprouse, Secretary. ZETAS The Zetas have had a very successful term. They have accomplished many things and have lived up to the name of Zeta Delta Sigma. There are twenty-five Zetas now with Miss Labor as our advisor, making twenty-six. The library during the term has been decorated by the regular committee appointed by the president. Before the Fresh- man Reception, the trophy cups were all cleaned. At Thanksgiving and Christmas the girls brought food for poor families. Many interesting debates have been given during the term and during the meetings we have had some very interesting programs. All of this added to the miscellaneous duties that have come up at each meeting has given the Zetas a very busy term. —Ethel Jean Burton, Secretary. THE TRAILS CLUB (The Webfeet) Three rousing cheers for the knights of the “Silver Pine!” So far this term “Jupe” Pluvius has greeted the Trails Club with many showers. Owing to the very fre- quent precipitation, the new members have learned to swim. Many of the boys have written to “Santy” for skiis or snowshoes so that they can defy “JupeV’ frozen crystals. The new members taken in this term are Ellis Short, Charles McDevitt, Jack King, Lloyd Lillie, and Richard Jennings. The new and the old members are all anxious to go on a Christmas hike in the neighborhood of Mt. Hood. —Henry Drewfs, Secretary. ST The Spectrum January, 1926 HI Y NOTES The two latest additions to the Hi V Club's roll call are Blaine Thompson and Jess Winn. The curfew law has indefinitely postponed our winter dance. We hope to he allowed to give one in the spring, however. At a recent meeting the club thoroughly enjoyed a travelogue given by Mr. Jenkins, relating to his trip last summer through the Panama Canal. —Don Giesy, Secretary. TRI-Y The Tri-Y’s have completed a very successful term. Our activities for the term include, presenting the auditorium a new silk flag, supplying families with baskets at Thanks- giving, making holly and cedar wreathes for the Veterans I lospital and a dance in honor of our new members. We wish to the members of the graduating class every success for the new year. —Harriett!-: Holland, Editor. THE KLATAWAS The Klatawas, with the help of their new advisors. Miss McRaith and Miss Naylor, have had a very interesting term. Due to the rainy weather, we have not taken as many hikes as we had planned, but in the spring we expect to make up for lost time. The Klatawas are working hard on their contribution, a side show, to the Hi Y Carnival. We hope to give our audience a full nickel’s worth of enjoyment. —Betty Shively, Editor. J-CLUB The J-Club has taken a revolutionary step this term by forbidding anyone to wear a letter who has not earned it. In view of this ruling, the members of the club feel it is their duty to request all girls or boys who are wearing letters they have not earned to take them off. As Wash- ington Hi has passed a similar ruling, we are not alone in our opinion. At a recent house-meeting at the home of one of the members, the club set to work in earnest and transacted a great deal of business. Among other things, a new con- stitution which had been drawn up by Kenneth Stout was read, and suggestions were made as to provisions the club desired to have incorporated in it. ss January, 1926 The Spectrum The committees for the Jeff Hi Carnival and the Athletic Vaudeville have been on the job for some time now to make these things a success. Putting over the Vaudeville will be a big job, and we want the co-operation of all the boys in the student body, so that our teams may be more fittingly and attractively equipped in the future. —John Jennings, Secretary-Treasurer. THE PHILOMATHEANS The Philomatheans have had a very successful term. The sale of J’s was a decided success and will help much toward paying for the education of Minas Santourien, the boy whom we are aiding in procuring his education. At Christmas time the girls made a Christmas basket for a needy family, in which we tried to include everything to make a successful and happy Christmas for those less fortunate. —Elsie Hedstrom, Secretary. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has held several very interesting meet- ings this terms. We are very glad to have our president, Walter Maguire, with 11s again. He has been absent from several meetings due to class play practice. The Hi Y Carnival and Spectrum work have been the main topics of discussion in the last few meetings. —Lillian Knutsen, Secretary. THE RADIO CLUB The Radio Club has decided to discontinue their pub- lication, '‘The Ocillogram,” and place their articles and diagrams in the Spectrum . We have enlarged our work and the scope of our pro- grams a great deal this term. Seventy-five slides, entitled “The Romance of Radio ’ were obtained from the Uni- versity of Oregon by our faculty advisor, Mr. Andrews, and shown as a program. And educational movie consisting of a two-reel film entitled Wizardry of W ireless ’ and a one- reel film entitled “Revelation by X-Ray ’ which were ob- tained from the General Electric Company by Clifton Skinner, our president, was given December 18, 1925. The constitution was revised by a committee and adopted by the club. George Griffis printed the constitution in the form of a booklet, the first page of which is a membership card. Several new members were voted into the club this term, including two girls, Dorothy Olson and Edith 80 The Spectrum January, 1926 Daugherty. The club is accumulating money to complete its transmitting and receiving sets. —Robert L. Sherman, Secretary. USHER CORPS The Usher Corps has had a very successful term under the leadership of Francis Hill. The following boys have been elected into the Corps this term: Lawrence Peterkin. Waldo Perry, William Keiker. Wesly Wolf, Richard Jennings, Kenneth Jette, Jess Winn, Kenneth Anderson, Ralph Apperson, George Woodruff and Monte Jacobs. The only members graduating are Jack Gilbert, Edward Vennewitz and Bert Tousey. They wish the Corps the best of success in carrying out the plans which have been made for the future. —Bert Tousey, Secretary. INNESS ART CLUB The members of the club have had some very interesting meetings this term. Mr. Edwards, a member of our faculty, gave a talk at one of the meetings on Better Home’s Week, showing the important connection that art has to it. A report on the life of Whistler by Hazel Suitor was enjoyed very much, also the report by Rosemary Whitman on Early American Artists. The new members have played a big part in the success of the fall term by acting on several committees and by helping to make the programs interesting. —Helen Furtii, Secretary. PREPER’S CLUB This term has certainly been marked by great enthusiasm and interest, and much has been accomplished. Our mem- bership has been greatly increased, and the new members have entered into the work with pep and enthusiasm. Our programs for this term have been so arranged as to include many branches of Girl Reserve work, and have been made very interesting by talks and skits by the mem- bers. We have had both our formal and informal initiations. A hike to Rock Creek and a supper at the Y. W. C. A. have been planned for the Christmas holidays. We have already enjoyed several parties this term. —Helen Anderson, Secretary. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club is progressing rapidly with the opera, “In Old Vienna ' As it develops we are all enthused and are sure that it will be a great success. The soloists for the 00 January, 1926 The Spectrum opera have been selected, and the time for its presentation will probably be the latter part of February, or the first of March. Mr. George Wilbur Reed has charge of the chorus and solo work. Miss Nina L. Greathouse will coach the speaking and acting and Mr. Harold Bayley will direct the orchestra. This alone ensures a wonderful performance, as we all know the splendid ability of this trio. We expect the support of the entire student body, and we know we will not be disappointed as Jefferson is always at the top in all of her activities. —Roberta E. Stanton, Secretary. STENO CLUB The Steno Club of Jefferson has more pep and action than any other club of its kind. This last term has been filled with lively meetings, good times, and hard work. Our success is due probably to the enthusiasm of Miss Cunningham and Miss Nelson, our faculty advisors. They have encouraged us to give our best support to the club by attending all the meetings possible, and by doing our part in the meetings. We have done much this term, but there is still room for improvement, and we hope the coming term will mark more success. —Helen Blakkolb, Secretary. 91 SPORTS With the end of the football season of 1925, it can no more be said that the Jeff spirit is not what it used to be. Jeff had a wonderful season this year and we all con- gratulate Coach Nelson on his strong ability to whip a group of fellows into shape the way he did our team. All the fellows played with the old Jeff spirit and gave all they had to bring the championship to our school, and they did. We also have some stars at Jefferson who were picked for the all-star team. Harry Wood, Phil Ireland, Frank Mimnaugh, Bob Robinson and Buck Grayson are the men who were selected and we sincerely congratulate them. We also want to congratulate the other members of our fighting squad because they, too, helped “to bring home the bacon.” We also want to congratulate Ridge Johnstone on the way he handled the team this year. At the banquet held this year at the Benson Hotel for the football team, Winkler was elected next year’s foot - ball captain. We all believe that it was a very wise selection. On November 3. Teff downed Roosevelt by the score of 30-0. On November 10, Jefferson beat Commerce 3-0. Robinson made the three points when lie made a place kick. Statistics of the game: First downs, Jeff 13, Commerce 4; yardage from scrim- mage, Jeff 236, Commerce 120; passes attempted, Jeff 5, Commerce 10 ; passes completed, Jeff 0, Commerce 4; yard- age from passes, Jeff 0, Commerce 38; passes intercepted, Jeff 2, Commerce 0; points, Jeff 3, Commerce 5; average length of punts, Jeff 28, Commerce 25; yardage of punts, Jeff 84, Commerce 134; return of punts and kickoff, Jeff 40, Commerce 4: fumbles, Jeff 1, Commerce 1: fumbles recovered, Jeff 1, Commerce 1 ; penalties, Jeff 10, Commerce 0; blocked kicks, Jeff 1, Commerce 0.

Football Bright lights are flashing now before the half-back's eyes; The quarterback is gamely nursing busted thighs. The tackle bucked the line while offering up a prayer. And in a mass of fragments left much of his hair. The center in a mass play, too, was tramped on by his mates; The surgeons in the hospital are mending broken pates. Somebody gouged my eye, my nose was seen to fall. While all scrambled o’er the goal-line, Af-ter the ball. Refrain: After the ball is over, after the field is clear; What did you do with my eye brow ? Where is the rest of my ear? Somebody has my ulna bone as a souv'nir of the brawl, And I lost a lung on the five-yard line, Af-ter the ball. 93T The Spectrum January, 1926 The captain took the kick-off and was carted from the game: The fullback tried a crossbuck, and he’ll never look the same. The right end smeared a forward pass, in quivering remains. One had an armful of limbs, another a handful of brains The quarterback has vanished into the sweet Bye and Bye; The left end’s in the garbage can, searching for his eye. The season now is over—the din, and shout, and all; But some of the boys are not all here, Af-ter the ball. Refrain: After the hall is over, after the field is cleared. Somebody’s got my knee-cap; my scalp has disappeared. The boys are in the study room, the cheering squad and all, But some of their principal parts were lost while after the ball. —Exchange. 94 HAMMER and HORN Mr. Scott (in Chemistry) : “What do you know about nitrates?” F. Mimnaugh (sleepily): “They're cheaper than day rates.” Harriette Holland can easily he called a “Vesuvius” be- cause she is quiet for a while and then “erupts.” J. Gilbert: “What's a football coach ?” J. Shneller: “Oh! That’s the car they take the players to the field in.” We hope Charles Gray enjoys his napping in the library 7th period. B. Murphy: “Did you ever take chloroform?” E. Mather: “Naw, what period does it come?” Why does. AT. Seeley always want to see Jean Auld first thing in the morning? Gee! They must be interesting! We will have to admit Mr. Dishwater did his part nicely in the Class Play. (With apologies to Walter Maguire.) ❖ =5= Ethel Head seems to have a weakness for jingles since she asked so many to write them—but we just wonder if she wasn't really thinking of Santa Claus—? We wonder why M. Johnson enjoyed the trip to the Gas Company. How about it. Peggy? Is it Larry or his car. Audrey? Might as well own up to it. Elsie has a lasting effect, no doubt. Huh, George? We don’t see any reason why P� . Shively should blush so when a certain person comes into the library 7th period. ❖ ❖ Jefferson must grieve; she is losing two of the big three—!!!??????? Muncy and Doyle. He' He He We wonder which Polly Lucas enjoyed the more? Being wardrobe mistress or being behind scenes? 95 The Spectrum January, 1926 We guess it wasn’t very hard for M. Hertsche to show an interest in “Harold Parmalee’ in the Class Play. How about it, Chuck? Since Ethel Jean has secured her driver’s license she has been practicing “parking” any place where she can find it. Eh, what, Miss Burton? Wonders will never cease. B. Shively has been taking their car for a ride! Well Edna I� —“it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” ❖ Why does H. Holland seem to be so interested in the younger generation ? Anyone desiring instructions in pole vaulting consult Isabel Stevenson, Room 35B. “Wonder Women” a specialty at Jefferson. Eh! Charles Laird? Oh those budding class play romances. Huh, Margie? People usually wash their faces before having their pictures taken, Lois. Some of the dignified seniors looked like Indians with their war paint on after a certain chemistry class. Don’t you think so, Bert Tousey? ❖ Why did Helerr Ready act the part of a dummy? She really is so much nicer. Can you imagine Jeanette Gunther with straight hair? Elsie Hedstrom not being busy on some committee? Betty Horstman not liked by everyone? We wonder why everything is “Ditto” (Angus) with Margaret Seeley? WE WONDER— Is Henry Bald? Is Edna a good Barber? Is David in Bloom? Is Bernice Brown? Is Ruth Cummin’? Is Ethel Darling? 06 January, 1926 The Spectrum Is Lena a Freeman? Is Lucile a Fox? Is Howard Golden? Is Charles Gray? Has Ethel a good Head? Does Marjorie like Hertsches? Is Harriette Dutch? Who is Lillie Leeding? Is Kathryn Long? Is Irma a Miller? Is Burton's dad a “cop”? Does Betty Read? Is Helen Ready? Is Isabel any relation to Robert Louis Stevenson?

(Alice samee blockhead.) The birth flour for January is Assyrian gar- lick and the birthstone is granite (parden typo- grafical airor. We meant garnet). The careers of those whose birthdays are in this month will be guided by Capricornus, or wild goat. All through January the moon will rise in the north at 8.23° Fahrenheit and set in the Far East at 11 5 167. True Love Stories (Gilded Toothpick for Best Daily) MY FIRST LOVE By Charles Laird (CENSORED) WANTED—Two women to wash dishes and one man. Fillum Gossip Coming Saturday to the Dippydrome: Fred Thomson in “All Around the Frying Ban.” The exteriors were made in Greece. Beda Thara is writing her memoirs. It’ll be nice reading for people that like pepper in their porridge. “The Plastic Age” is being filmed. To be ultra-modern we suggest rctitling it to the “Plastered Age.” (What ho! A pun!) Sizzle B. DeMillc has just finished “Hell’s Highroad.” Why not title it ‘Hollywood Boulevard ?” Household Hints Submitted by Class Members 1. If you roll your trousers up in the win- dow shade each nite, you will find that they look like new in the morning.—Bob McCauley. 2. Take a gob of plumb butter that has been soured for two years and plaster it on your face at night. The effect next day is very startling. Very startling, indeed.—LeRoy Hall. 3. A Cadillac horn placed on the handlebars of your bicycle is excellent for serenading and will make you one of the most popular men in school—till you’re found out.—Charles Laird. 4. An old shaving brush is excellent for cleaning your false teeth.— Marjorie Hertsche. Klassified Advertising FOR RENT—A furnished apartment by an old lady with an unfurnished top story. Epitaffy Grandpa in a motor car Pulled the lever hack too far. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. (Music by the G. A. R.) Our little Boy Blue lies here, ’tis true; The still exploded and the little boy blew. -Ziffs. Shed a tear for Willie Bright, Mis brakes had no linings. I.ead, Kindly Light.

Is This Your Birthday? If so, you are sympathetic. And you are unassuming. Your nature is humane. But you are unassuming. You have the ability to do great things, Nevertheless you arc unassuming. You have good judgment. Besides you are unassuming. You have an excellent future. In addition you are unassuming. Suggested Book List for E20 (Twenty years from now) 1. Three Weeks, Six Days and at last! His Hour!!—By Kathryn Long. 2. Why Girls Leave Home in Two Parts.— By Elsie Hedstrom. 3. Mental Telepathy. Its Mysteries and Applications.— By Burton Murphy. 4. The First White Woman to Enter the Congo Jungle. By Ethel Jean Burton. A Spring Song (Author unknown) He took her to the Jan.-June dance Because her couldn’t go alone: And ’twas very lucky that he did. For ’twas her that took lie home. Drop a flower For the varsity back; They tackled him high And make his neck crack. Advice to the Lovelorn By Houdinc ANXIOUS: Of course, it’s perfectly all right for you to go to dances with the boy. Don’t pay any attention to your schoolmates that say because you’re the vice-president of the Jan. class you should go with the president of the Jan. class instead of the president of the June class. EIGHTEEN: If the dramatics coach doesn’t mind, I see no objection to your boy friend calling for you after class play rehearsals. Only the cast might object to the leading lady’s going around with a Bolshevik. (Pardon! We were only judging from the name.) WORRIED: Now, Mr. Wood, are you sure that this delicate violet that you spoke of in your letter really meant what she said? I think it would be unwise for you to elope with- out telling your parents, since neither of you have enough between you to pay the carfare home from Vancouver. It will be time enough for you to marry when you become sixteen. Too Late to Klassify GIRL, young, refined, wishes position taking care of grown babies.

Seniors: “All's well that ends well.” Juniors: “As you like it.” Sophomores: “Much ado about nothing.” Freshmen: “Comedy of Errors.” Lives of Seniors all remind us We must strive to do our best. And departing, leave behind us Notebooks which will help the rest. How to Make a Senior Class Take one cup of class patriotism and one tablespoon of interclass competition. Rub together well. Add five or six foot hall stars who have not been beaten. Pour in one cup of class unity. 'Make stiff with two pounds of hard study, sifted well with one heaping teaspoon of promotion. Flavor with good will. Place in school room for six hours. After removing spread well with parties or hikes, and decorate with smiles. When is the best time to pick apples? When the farmer isn't looking. He He A Hero’s Letter Leroy wrote most ardent letters to his sweetheart. She was so proud of one of them that she showed it to her girl friend who, of course, spilled the whole story. She said it read like this: “Oh, my darling, I would swim the mighty deep for one glance from your dear eyes! I would walk through a wall of flame for one touch from your little hand! I would leap the widest chasm in the world for one word from your lovely lips! I would fight the fiercest demons for a word of praise from you! As always your own, Leroy. P.
