MR. HOPKIN JENKINS In Appreciation Mildred Wharton y Hi teachers, helpers, friends of ours, For guidance sure and true Through these four years of work and fun, We give our thanks to you. For goodness to us when our tasks Seemed more than we could do, For patience, we departing leave Deep gratitude to you. For cheery words and greetings warm When days seemed long and blue; For smiles more often than rebukes IVe leave a smile for you. But most of all for kindnesses W hich into friendships grew; For love you’ve shown despite our faults IVe will remember you. MR. BOSSERMAN MISS HOLMAN CLASS SONG Words and Music by Mildred Wharton I. Sailing away upon life’s wind-tossed sea, Mem’ries and thoughts will drift hack here to thee; All those four years seem just one long sweet day; We depart, though we long to delay. II. ’Tis hard to go. Close friendships bind us here; Leaving our school means leaving chums so dear. Not at the top, but climbing ever on, Till at last life’s long race we have won. Chorus. From the pleasures and friendships of school days, The swift tide of the years bears us on; And sweet dreams of success tinged with mem’ries Will gladden our hearts e’er we’re gone. With regret, Jefferson, we must leave you, The January Class of ’27 says “good-bye;” To your name we’ll be true; Oh! remember 11s, too; Ours is love that shall not die.

Helen Pfeifer (Seal) Cecil Eckert (Seal) Attorneys at, to, in, from, by, or around the law. Page Thirty-seven The Pioneers HE January Class of nineteen hundred and twenty- seven has been on a strenuous journey across the prairie of education. One hundred and forty in- dustrious men and women coming across the vast expanse in covered wagons! Beyond a doubt the journey has been a success. The trip, as is true of all dangerous trips, was certainly not without mishaps as exciting edventures; as for instance, the occasion upon which we were attacked and barely escaped scalp- ing at the hands of the Junito Indians, may reflect upon June trampling at the January-June dance. But, the January Class agrees that the most thrilling es- capade of the journey occurred when we chanced to meet the famous Gypsy fortune-telling band. It so happened that our gallant guide and master of ceremonies, Mr. Leo Laurin, was talking with his right hand man and keeper of the valu- ables, Mr. Charles McDevitt, when we suddenly rounded a turn and came upon the Gypsy Band before a huge bon- fire. In the excitement a Gypsy child was nearly trampled by the mighty steed ridden by our leader, but owing to his quick thinking, the child was saved. The child’s mother could not thank our captain sufficiently with all her exclaiming and gestulating. She was the one who suggested that our fortunes be told absolutely gratis. Of course, the class as a whole was delighted and owing to the presence of mind of our account recorder who took an accurate record of our futures as foretold by the gypsies, we have the following des- tinies to con over: Leo Laurin, the exalted ruler of the Jan Class is destined to become one of the outstanding political personages of the decade. Mignon Brasen, our womanly vice president, will achieve fame as a conqueror of the waters of the English Channel. Another, who will achieve this high point of success is Cecil Eckert. Pagt Thirty-fight January, 1927 The Spectrum Miss Norabel Pratt, our most efficient secretary, has a bright future as a teacher of the higher sciences. Others who will become successful teachers are Lucy Staples, Florence Hoffman, elementary teachers; Alice Maybeck, grammar school principal; and Mildred Oliver, who will eventually establish an exclusive school for young women, employing Audrey Baier, Constance Bougher, Dorothy Wedemeyer, Lucile Simmons, Florence Rattey and Carney Watson as her assistants. All these young women will prove to he efficient teachers of modern gallantry to the future womanhood. Mr. Charles McDevitt will distinguish himself as a great master artist of the band. In fact, a second Sousa! Those who will help to form this great band are Albert Campbell, master of the jews-harp, Roy Brown, clarinet soloist, Sherman Hendrickson, artist of drums. James Hutchinson, blower of trumpets and Hugh Rankin, horn artist. Clayton Heiberg will, in the near future, stand forth as a true representative of Jefferson athletics. At a large well- known college he will make a name for himself as fullback. Others on the same team will be Charles Shacklett, George Miller, Marion Magadanz, Ralph Apperson and Ralph H ad- field, who will glorify the name of Jefferson High. George Duffield and Lloyd Lillie will participate in the Olympic games and make their names famous thereby. Virgil Brittain will be “keeper of the count” and official score keeper at the games. M orris Larson and Carol Keeler will achieve fame as big game hunters in Africa. In their party will be Eleanor Hendrickson, opera star on an extended vacation; Myron Griffin, author, looking for inspiring material; Theodore George, civil engineer, excavating and surveying; Gladys Davis, artist, looking for artistic material in the wilds; and Stephen Renfro, biologist, who will search for unknown speci- mens of the anamologea. Virginia Smith will become an outstanding opera singer in the Metropolitan Opera Company. Others in the Opera Company will he Helen Walker, organist and player of opera music, Jean Opp and Ruth Higgins, mezzo sopranos, and Clara Oswald and Laura Smith, soprano and alto respectively. La Raut Lewis and partner, Kenneth Younger, will he successful engineers in the well known Lewis and Younger, Inc., Correspondence School. Other successful graduates from that efficient institution will be Hugh Rankin, Allen Reed, and Ellis Short, who will become a teacher of athletics, his special line being golf. Page Thirty-nine The Spectrum January, 1927 Dorothy Rea and Judith Angell will be very accomplished young artists. They will go to an exclusive girls’ school in France where a finishing course for young society leaders is one of the best features. Edna and Florence Allen will eventually establish a Nurses’ Training Institution. Those graduating with honors in the future will be Genevieve Ellet, Mertie Bennett, Myrtle Shorthill, Ruth Higgins and Ethel Carlson. These young women will be products of the new schools of nursing and fine demonstrators of their particular art. The assistant manager of the aforementioned institution will be Lincoln Zimmerman. Ruth Green and Esther Frost will also establish an insti- tution of higher learning, the Green and Frost Institution for Teacher Training. Teachers who will pass the entrance exams are Katherine Olday, Emma Davidson, Arnold Neweet, Lyn- don Skinner, Albert Neheen and John Hollingshead. These people, upon passing this severe test, will be finished products and capable of great achievement in the field of learning. M iss Hariet Hughson will establish the well-known Hughson Dramatic Company. This Company will contain such famous actresses as Violet Grek, whose previous experi- ence as an understudy to Mary Pickford will enable her to take simple child parts; Russell Smith, former understudy to Lew Cody, movie villain; Helen Pfeifer, famous young artist and former understudy to Colleen Moore and other well known dramatic artists; Catherine Westra, the comic artist success; Marguerite Rarick, wrho will often be termed a second Sarah Bernhardt; and Jack Abele, master of stage hands who will do much toward the success of the company. With this company will go their ushers, two very delightful young ladies, Hazel Pauley and Edith Hjorton. Mildred Wharton will be an accomplished lecturer on “the advantages of being tall.” With Miss Wharton will be her general manager, Redmond Marshall and his master of ceremonies, Wilburt Howells. As secretaries for this group will be Leatha Hagey, Mary Kaffeseider and Rilla Leel. Margaret Morrison is the future Miss Wey. Her assist- ants in the training of young women in athletics and gym- nastics will be Paloma Dale Kirkwood, Evelyn Fischer and Frances Murray, her right hand aid who is destined to play the piano for the marching which disturbs Miss Greathouse’s Oral English classes in the auditorium overhead. Lucile Martin will gain unceasing fame as a tennis cham- pion. Her outstanding match will be the one in which she will play Miss Suzanne Lenglen for undisputed champion- Pagt Forty January, 1927 The Spectrum ship of nations. Lucile’s success is obvious. Her traveling companion, Marie Meyers, will accompany her on an unlimited health vacation after a season as a famous Broadway Star and another as fur coat model for Queen Marie of Roumania. Floyd Lehnerr will become a very prominent capitalist, and in his employ will he Elmer Emert, successful financier. Mr. Lehnerr will have as his secretaries the Misses Lydia Fritz and Margaret Lee, efficient graduates of the North- western Business College. Mr. Emert’s stenographer will be Mary Bodine, former Big Game Huntress, and Lucile Jewett. Miss Mildred Kramer will be a deciding factor in the success of this institution, having financed its operations from the beginning.

Misses Zeruiah McKay and Minnie Helzer will tie for honors in breaking the world’s shorthand speed record. By this time velvet darkness had enveloped us, the only light being from the huge bon-fire which the gypsies kept burning. Our leader stood up and thanked the gypsy woman for telling our fortunes. Then he called the group to order, and all responded and soon left the camp of the gypsies behind us. We rode to our destination well satisfied with the future before us. Pagf Forty-two The Spectrum January, 1927 A Tale of Old Oregon Margueritte Rarick HE sharp wind of an 1847 day swept across the snow-covered prairie. On the East the Blue Moun- tains formed a dim white wall. Far to the West loomed Mt. Hood, majestic and beautiful. Every- where else were rolling, mountainous, white prair- ies which sloped down on three sides to the ice- covered Walla Walla. On the north and a bit to the west stood a group of shanties surrounding a large frame building. This was the mission, and it was from here that a mall hoopskirted figure in gray came, sauntering aimlessly over a glistening white crust. With listless feet she approached the river’s edge and wearily leaned against a ghostly cottonwood. With red mittened hands she pushed the curling strands of brown hair hack under the quaint wool bonnet. “I can’t stand it any longer,” she murmured. “I can’t.” Her hands wandered over the scene as if searching for something of interest which she might have missed. But no, it was the same. It was no different than it had been five years before when she had come in that first train of immi- grants to this distant country called Oregon. How well she remembered that long journey overland from Washington! Oh, those dreary months of jogging along behind a team of oxen! She could never forget the famine, the fever, the danger they had undergone. On hearing that her late pa- rents’ friends, the Spaldings, were going to Oregon, she had run away from home, and had hid in their wagon till they had been on the journey better than a day. The Spaldings had tried to send her back, but she had refused to go. She was eighteen and wild for adventure, and therefore when she had pettishly quarreled and broken her engagement with Mark Donelson, it had seemed the romantic thing to run away to this distant land of adventure and danger and mystery. So here she was at Whitman’s mission teaching a Hock of little Cavuse girls to sew and cook, but thinking always of some one far away in Washington who had loving gray eyes and a firm, manly chin. She had expected him to write and beg her to come back, but time rolling by proved that he could be as proud and unrelenting as she. “Oh, why did we quarrel anyway?” she asked aloud. “The fact that 1 was Nancy Fenton, the belle of Washington society made me no better than Mark. He was trying hard Page Forty-thrtf The Spectrum January, 1927 to be a successful lawyer, but I demanded too much. I see it all now, and now it’s too late.” She turned her face against the whispering cottonwood and wept. It was too late. Her pride had ruined her life and Mark’s. But no! It wasn’t too late! Dr. Whitman and his wife, Narcissa, were going to make a trip back in the spring. She would go with them. Dear, kind Dr. Whitman would take her. She would speak to him about it now. Turning quickly she started toward the mission, hut suddenly stopped. No, Dr. Whitman and Narcissa had gone to Waulatpu to care for the sick there. She must wait. She was turning again to the river and her musings when she heard the crunch of snow behind her. With a gasp of fear Nancy gazed into the dark, sinister face of Joe Lewis, a half-breed, renegade Cherokee whom Dr. Whitman had befriended the autumn before. Nancy had never liked nor trusted him, and it was with foreboding in her heart that she asked him what he wanted. “Doc Whit’n gone Waulatpu?” he asked. Nancy nodded. “When back?” Perhaps tomorrow. They’re on their way now probably,” answered Nancy and turned quickly to go. Joe’s long arm stopped her. “Indians gettin’ tired waiting,” he grunted. “Doc Whit’n promise houses and fences. No build. More pale faces come from East. Keep moving Red Skins to Big Waters. No like.” With another grunt he turned toward his pony, tied a few feet away, mounted and rode off toward the east. Nancy watched him go with a frown puckering her brow, and then walked thoughtfully back to the mission. She found the place in a turmoil. Mrs. Spalding met her at the door with an anxious face. “Nancy, get your valuables together quickly. The Indians are coming. Jacob and Eagle are going to take us to their camp.” Nancy’s face went white. “Mrs. Spalding!” she gasped, •“Are you sure?” A runner came into the school room a half hour ago and warned us. Joe Lewis has incited them. Chief Joseph has turned against us. Dr. and Mrs. Whitman have been killed. Hurry!” Everywhere was excitement. Children were crying. Mothers were whispering agonized prayers as they wrapped thir little ones warmly for the journey. Men were giving harsh commands. Outside horses were stamping nervously. Page Forty-four January, 1927 The Spectrum Finally they were ready. Quickly the men got the women on the horses, and they were off toward the camp of the friendly Indians, Jacob and Eagle. Mrs. Spalding was in the lead with a frightened child clasped to her. “Where’s Nancy?” she called hack. “I can’t see Nancy!” “Oh she’s coming,” answered someone. “Where? I don’t see her!” “Oh back there. Hurry on!” And so on they dashed across the prairie. Hack at the mission Nancy was going wildly through her trunk. “Nancy! Nancy!” one of the men called. “You’ll he left behind ! Go on!” “There’s another pony there! I’ve forgotten something.” Swiftly she clawed through her possessions. At last she found what she wanted. It was a small daguerotype from whose frame smiled a pair of clear gray eyes. She clasped it to her and flew out the doorway just as a blood-curdling war whoop rent the air. It was followed by a hundred more, and across the grim prairies thundered an avalanche of sav- ages yelling like demons. Quickly they surrounded the mis- sion. The men fired desperately from the windows. It was a handful of brave defenders against what seemed a million lustful, blood-thirsty beasts. The hour that followed was one of terror and horror. File infuriated savages made short work of the helpless little mission, and the ruin that that wild horde left is one of the grim and awful landmarks of Oregon’s early history. Spring came to the Oregon country and with the spring came a wagon train of immigrants seeking Whitman’s mis- sion. They looked forward eagerly to the comfort and beauty they had been told they’d find there, and in one of the wagons was one who looked with eager gray eyes for a small curlv- haired girl he hoped would be waiting for him. They reached Waulatpu and came to the place where they had expected to find a friendly mission. Hut they found only charred ruins, and instead of the brown-haired girl waiting for the gray-eyed boy, there was nothing but the sighing of the cottonwoods and a carpet of waxen spring flowers growing on the banks of the old Walla Walla. Page Forty-five The Spectrum January, 1927 A Bed of Ferns Mildred Wharton I sought a dream. I wandered in a shady Oregon wood; The searching questioning of the brook was fitting to my mood. My quest seemed vain, when lo! my eyes beheld a bed of lace, Lovely and green like perfumed points wreathed ’round a maiden’s face. The tender dew-washed tips of stars seemed beckoning to the sky To drop a rainbow in their midst, or send a zephyr by. Faint tracings on each tiny leaf sketched by a lone sunbeam Hinted of beauty there. I looked and found my dream. Page Forty-six January, 1927 The Spectrum The Indian Love Call Florence Ward OCHEE, the chieftain’s daughter, put aside the flap, and stepped forth from her wigwam. Lazily she Stretched her lithe, young body, as she surveyed the scene before her. The camp was astir with the early morning duties. The squaws spoke to her as she passed, and the bucks smiled admiringly. Many times had she been wooed in vain, and many times had her father refused to sell her even though countless horses and blankets were offered. The old Chief loved her, and said she should never wed until her heart bid her do so. Many bucks from other tribes, swaggering, and boastful, had plead their cases only to be laughingly refused. The old chief had cause to sigh when he wondered if no one would ever capture the citadel of her heart. O-chee nodded and smiled as she picked her way through the maze of campfires and moved toward the woods. The birds were singing with a joyous twitter, and O-chee felt her blood race and her pulses thrill to the spell of the June morning. Her voice broke into song in the soft Indian tongue, and her feet tripped to the merry measures. Of a sudden she stopped. Had she heard something? Was someone crying? There it was again, a soft moaning. O-chee, startled, looked around her. At first she didn’t see anyone, then she discovered a dark figure sprawled at full length on the sward. He was groaning and muttering as if delirious. O-chee crept forward and then gasped at sight of the blood-stained figure. A gaping red hole showed in his left side. It was evidently an arrow wound. O-chee straightened up, and sent into the clear morning the call for help. O-chee knew she would be heard and only prayed that one of the braves would bring a blanket or a deer- skin for a stretcher. She knelt down again beside the stranger and bent a searching look upon him. It gave her some sat- isfaction to see that he was young and handsome. His black locks, tumbling about his face, gave him such a boyish look that she wanted to cuddle him to her breast. Being young and modest, she refrained from that, but did the next best thing. She rolled him to an easier position and pillowed his head on a soft mound of grass. Then she waited. It seemed an eternity, but in reality it was only a few minutes before three braves came at a jog trot, and stopped before the stranger. O-chee noted with relief that one of them car- Page F orty-seven The Spectrum January, 1927 ried a deer-hide. Having placed him upon it, they at last started toward the camp. O-chee walked besided the stretcher. The chief met them at the edge of the clearing and di- rected them to his own wigwam. They placed the unconscious man on a bed of firs and silently withdrew. O-chee wanted to stay but the old chief pushed her out- side and there she waited while they bound his hurt. When the chief emerged, O-chee questioned him anxiously. “Will the stranger die, think you, O mighty father?” Chief Eagle patted her glossy head and looked deep into her troubled eyes. “He will not die, my child. He is utterly spent from loss of blood, but the wound itself is nothing.” The chief ordered one of his squaws to watch the sick man, but O-chee sat at her self-appointed vigil. The minutes 'sped by, and O-chee, gazing at the youth, smiled and dreamed strange dreams. The man stirred and slowly opened his eyes. They roamed around the room and finally came to rest on O-chee’s glowing face. A look of wonder crept into them and his lips moved in an effort to speak. O-chee leaned forward to catch the whispered words. “Who are you?” “I am O-chee, daughter of the Siawas. You are in the tent of my father, Chief Eagle.” The man’s hand moved, and felt the bandages across his breast. “Oh,” he said, “I remember now. I am Leaping Deer, son of Chief Red Feather. My father will give you many horses in return for your kindness.” O-chee smiled an inscrutable smile, and then called her father. When the chief entered, Leaping Deer essayed to rise, but Chief Eagle motioned him back and stood before him. “I see you are better,” he said gravely. “My heart is glad.” Leaping Deer smiled, and held forth his hand. “I thank you, O Mighty Chief. I will soon be able to travel, I hope.” “You must stay until your strength has returned, my son. Till then speak not of leaving. You are welcome in our camp.” “The old chief turned to go, and motioned his daughter after him. Pagf Forty-fight January, 1927 The Spectrum While the warm days passed quickly, Leaping Deer was recovering his strength, and was soon able to leave the tent. His wistful gaze followed O-chee at her tasks, and when she was free, he sought her out and they spoke together about their dreams. At last Leaping Deer was well, and it was time for his departure. He sought the Chief and addressed him. “O Chief,” he said, ‘‘It is time that I go to my father’s home. I am much indebted to you, but still I have one favor to beg. Will you give O-chee to me in return for many horses and blankets?” Chief Eagle folded his arms and made answer. “Leaping Deer, I could ask nothing better than to have you for my son, but I will not sell my daughter. You may go to her and get your answer.” Leaping Deer bowed and left. He sought out O-chec, and led her to a secluded spot. Taking her soft hand in his and holding it against his heart, that she might feel its rapid beating, he spoke: “O-chee, daughter of the Siawas, will you go with me to my father’s people?” O-chee looked yearningly into his eyes. “I love you, Leaping Deer,” and so she gave her answer. The beautiful ceremony was held that night. The old Chief gave his daughter unto Leaping Deer and was satis- fied. “May you be happy,” he said, “and may the Good Spirit bless you with much wealth.” leaping Deer took his bride into his eager arms and kissed her red lips. “Come, O-chee. Away with me.” He helped her into the waiting canoe and pushed off into the swirling stream. O-chee waved to her father and her people until a bend in the river hid them from sight. The Spectrum January, 1927 An Oregon Winter Mildred Wharton Fluttering, dancing, whirling, dipping, At the North wind’s breath they fall; Dying embers of the autumn Soon beyond the year’s recall. Drifting like spent flames of scarlet, Perishing upon the ground, Dropping like their faded kindred, Circling down without a sound. At the feet of towering forests Skeletons of beauty lie; Through the trees bare lonely branches, Wandering cold winds wail and sigh. As the leaves the years go fading One by one to join an age; Memories of toils and pleasures, They make up l ime’s equipage. Our year now is going, dying, Trembling on eternity’s rim; By His hand again comes springtime, Leaves and years are one to Him. Page Fifty January, 1927 The Spectrum That’s a Girl for You Audery Baier “Oh, Helen, I wish I were you and graduating in Janu- ary, too!” sighed June, gazing intently at her friend’s class picture. “Don’t you, though? Here I will be home enjoying my- self while you will be killing yourself with study ’ laugh- ingly retorted Helen Masson, her friend. “That’s right. You are not going to begin college until next fall. What are you going to do between now and then?” “Enjoy myself, silly, and rest so as to be ready for school next September. Just think, for six months I won’t have to get up until I please, nor think of tiresome studies. I can do all those things that I have wanted to do for so long, et cetera,” cheerfully spoke Helen. How little did Helen realize the hold Jefferson High School had on her, the importance of its activities in hei life! Several days passed by. Helen was relaxing from the strain of commencement, Senior prom and other class func- tions. It was the first day of the new term. Helen slowly opened her eyes and languidly looked at her watch. “Oh, it is ten-thirty! Why didn’t mother call---? Oh, that’s right. I have no more school. I guess I might as well get up, though. I wonder what teacher my little brothers will have,” thought Helen as she slowly dressed. “They will soon be home for lunch now.” Just as Helen was descending the stairs, she heard Walt and Bud, her brothers, hound in, both speaking at the same time: “Oh, Mum, I have Miss Crawford! I have Miss Anderson! Althea is in my room and Frances and—and—.” 'They chattered on and each trying to outdo the other. As Helen reached the foot of the stairs her thoughts flew back to her own excitement of the first day of each new term. She became a little sad while listening to the unceasing chatter of her small brothers. After they had left for school and Helen had finished washing the dishes, she went into the living room to read her hook. The book was not nearly so interesting to her as it was a week ago when she wanted to read it, but didn’t have time. So Helen decided to finish those odds and ends of sewing that she had wanted to do for so long. Thus passed the first day of her freedom. The next day she found herself lonesome. She helped her mother complete the housework, but time hung heavily on her Page Fijty-one The Spectrum January, 1927 hands. On Wednesday and Thursday she wished more and more that she was still a student at Jefferson, and by Friday the longing became intense. That afternoon, while her mother was sewing, Helen tried to read. Although the novel was very interesting, her mind wandered back to her high school days. “Mother, do you know what I think I’ll do? I’ll go back to Jefferson and take a post-graduate course.” “Hut I thought,you didn’t want to take P. G.,” smilingly reminded her mother. Helen’s face fell. “I’ve changed my mind. It’s so lone- some here and I really need another term of French. Please say I may,” pleaded Helen. “All right. I would rather have you at school than at home looking so gloomy all the time,” granted Mrs. Masson. It is needless to say Helen was elated. She happily joined her friend June and spent the rest of the term “killing herself with studies” at grand old Jefferson. Friends Frances Murray I sometimes think if friends were true, As only friends should be, The world would be a better place For lonesome little me. But alas! As the downy ducks fly south, So fly our friends away. The friends who play in the bright sunshine, Hut who shirk on a rainy day. So the only friend I want to have To share my woe and fun, Is the one who heeds not rain or shine, But who’ll always be my chum. Page Fifty-two January, 1927 The Spectrum Siah Kopa Kloshe Illahee Thelma Powell CENTURY ago the arid track that lies between the Missouri and the Pacific Coast was marked bv a trail made by the buffalo and deer which were guided by the animal instincts to the spots where water could be found. The Indians knew the sagacity of these animals and followed this trail when they crossed this barren country. In their wake came the trappers and hunters, and this trail was destined to become the path of one-of the most picturesque and courageous migrations in the history of our country, for the western rivers, except the Missouri, offered no waterway to the emigrants. Pack horses and wagon-trains were the only means of transportation and they made their pilgrimage over sandy waste and grass-land. The pioneers of Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois and Iowa gathered at Independence,, Missouri, to organize their train. Soon after the start in the spring of ’46, one member of that party, Thomas Hacklett, suddenly sick- ened and died and left to his friend, John Newton, a young bachelor having a well equipped wagon and thoroughbreds from the blue grass of Kentucky, the supervision of his two daughters, Jene and the younger sister, Mary. Ordinarily, the greatest difficulties the emigrants had to contend with were the storms and the thievish Indians, and by the time the train had reached Fort Laramie, so much of their stock had been stolen that they were glad to accept the guidance of Antoine, an old trapper who knew the Oregon country. Day after day, through the drenching storms and the blistering heat, they plodded on. Their faces were ever turned to the West, and the yodel-like refrain of the Chinook song that Antoine sang, was hummed on the march and crooned to the babies, “Sia Kopa Kloshe Illahee” (away to the promised land). Around the campfire at night the footsore and weary pioneers were cheered by the marvelous stories Antoine told them of the Oregon country—of the Willamette Valley. It was a garden spot where 320 acres of land for every settler awaited the plow. He taught them many words of the Indian jargon that would prove ureful to them in communicating with the peaceful Western Chinooks. “Klahowya six”—good-day. “Mika tikeh muckamuck”—Would you like something to eat? Page Fifty-three The Spectrum January, 1927 “Klahhowya”—good-bye. “Hyas Kultus”—heap no good. “Kumtux mika Boston wawa”—Do you understand Eng- lish? “Siah”—far away. “Si-a-h”—very far away. “Si---------a--------h”—very, very far away. The first great catastrophe came when, against the advice of Antoine, they attempted to ford the rain-swollen Plaitee river. There in the turbid current was swept away fully half of their provision wagons. When they resumed their journey, another great danger faced them—starvation. They eked out their scanty provisions until a biscuit a day was their appor- tioned ration. The tightening of their belts may have eased the gnawing of their stomachs, but there was nothing that could ease the maddening sound of children crying for food. They found no game, and Antoine knew that the only pos- sible salvation was food from a friendly tribe of Indians. He halted the train for several days while he scouted the sur- rounding country and brought back several bags of camas, an onion-like root that the Indians used for making bread. If John Newton had ever wondered why fate had led him to join this emigrant band, the mystery was solved, as day after day he watched the calm, heroic courage of Jene Hacklett, as she drove her ox team, and uncomplainingly endured the hardships. The day came when together they planned the home they would make in the promised land, the land of the “Siah Kopa Kloshe Illahee.” Their trail led slowly through the South pass of the Black Mountains and curved southward to Fort Bridger. Here they stocked up with fresh supplies, and then came an event that changed the trend of affairs. Little Mary Hacklett with child-like optimism played in and around the wagons as they plodded slowly onward. She came and went as she pleased, for everyone was her friend. One day, after a nap in the wagon, Mary decided to run ahead and play. The oxen moved so slowly that she was accus- tomed to climbing in and out while the wagon was moving. As she jumped to the ground her stout little dress of linsey- woolsey caught on a hook. Frantically the child tried to tear it loose, but there was no give to the strong linen and wool threads. She saw the great cumbersome wheel coming toward her, and terror-stricken she grasped it. Her soft, lit- tle body was crushed into the earth as the giant wheels turned on. Page Fifty-four t January, 1927 The Spectrum If all the graves of those who perished on that long, long trail were marked, one could more nearly realize the great sacrifice that was made, but these graves were left unmarked. With grim faces these immigrants scattered the fire-brands and ashes over the unmounded soil and passed the slow-moving oxen and covered-wagons over the grave, lest the goulish Indians should rob the dead. Near Fort Hall there was a parting of the ways. Nearly every emigrant train sub-divided here: some of them to go on to Oregon through the Southern pass, others to turn south- ward to California. When the wagon-train of ’46 reached Fort Hall, Jene decided to go to California with friends and join John when he had made their home in Oregon. John was glad when Antoine decided to join the southern party, for he knew that Antoine would protect Jene as well as he himself could, and he gave to Antoine one of the two surviving thoroughbreds. Jean needed no explanation when he handed her the pistol that hung in his belt. There were worse things than death. It would make a pleasanter story to picture John and Jene in their happy home in Oregon, but tragedies grim and sad followed the trail of the Westward pioneers. History records that the party which turned to California in that year of ’46 was massacred. Every one! What a trail of bleached bones and relinquished hopes marked the way! A year had passed before John ever heard of the mas- sacre. Jene was the love of his life. No one could ever take her place, and Antoine had been his friend, but manfully he picked up the broken threads of his existence, and no pioneer ever devoted himself more to settling and developing Oregon than did John Newton. Each year he met and guided the weary emigrants on their last lap of the journey. The dan- gerous Southern pass was abandoned for the Harlow 'Foil Road. The ominous slogan, “54-40 or fight,” did not alarm him. He knew the settlers were making good their claims to the country by the axe, the plow and the rifle. This hadn’t been the promised land of Antoine’s song, but he would help to make it the promised land of others who would come, the land of the “Siah Kopa Kloshe Illahee.” Page Fifty-jivs The Spectrum January, 1927 My Armies Paloma Dale Kirkwood To me my armies are the most fascinating things 1 have ever beheld. My grandmother showed them to me one night when I was a very little girl. She had tired of telling me stories of her girlhood, when she crossed the plains to Oregon in 1843, and stories of grandfather and the army and his jour- ney to Oregon in 1846. Grandmother was sitting on one of those large chairs that gradmothers so often have, and I was sitting on a stool at her feet. She must have been waiting for the armies, for when they came she saw them almost immediately and began her game of make-believe. I might explain what my armies are. If you have ever sat before an open fire and watched the little sparklets that chase each other around the back of the fireplace you have seen my armies. I guess we, Grandmother and I, are fire- gazers, because we both find the same delight in watching the fire, the different shades of red and yellow and blue that one sees in the flames—oh! they are beautiful and how they dance,—but they are not half so fascinating as my armies. My armies run about and fight; they go here and there; they die, but never go back. Sometimes, they make great inva- sions in the fields of soot without any opposition, and some- times they fight and fight hard. They do fight hard, because they fight until death. There are no cowards in my armies. Sometimes a troop will get lost and wander away from the battlefield. They die of hunger, I suppose, and of exposure. After the first introduction vto my armies, I watched them often. Sometimes they were the North and South of the Civil War. At other times, they were our forefathers and the English, or the Spaniards, or they were the Medes against the Persians, or the Buffaloes and the Inkies-------or other romantic warring tribes that Grandmother would invent. She would say, “The Dukes are going to win today, and the Stars are going to be completely annihilated!” And on some rare occasions when the sparklets started from one side and swept clear across the back of the fireplace, she would say, “See, that is an emigrant train. Those are pioneers bound for Oregon. Ah, and the Indians are surrounding them.” I would then get tales of Indians and Pioneers to correspond to the actions of my armies. I was always delighted when the white people got across the fireplace back, for that meant that they were safe in Oregon, and I was terribly grieved Page Fifty-six January, 1927 The Spectrum when they all died before they so much as got half-way, for that meant that they had starved, or that the Indians had killed them. It has been several years since I have seen my armies, because fireplaces are now built so efficiently that there is no back soot to burn away. I am lonesome for mV armies. I believe that if I could have just one more quiet evening before the fire with my armies that I could live mv remaining years a little more happily, perhaps a little more sadly, but surely they would not lack the fight that is born and does not die in my armies. To a Mountain Steven Renfro A mountain rising near a turquoise sea, White in her wintry cloak of gleaming snow That tumbles from the cloudy roof as though It tired of home so bleak and gray, yet free, And wished to come below and there to be Until the mighty summer sun’s sharp glow Upon it heats till all the flakes let go And flow through Oregon beside the sea, Free as the eagles which above you soar And climb unto the dizzy heights beyond, You lift your snowy head above the plane Of common things, and whisper with the fond Friends of your airy world: the sunbeams, or The moon, the stars, the wind, or sun or rain.

The beginning of this official conquest was made by the Lewis and Clark expedition, which was guided by the Shoshone Indian mother, Sacajawea. Their report fanned to a flame the smouldering spirit which was soon to send on the long trail the heroic Ore- gon pioneers, who settled and made good their title by the axe, the rifle and the plow. Following these heroes who blazed the trails came those who dreamed great dreams of progress and made these dreams come true. They had been educated in the little red school- house down the lane, but for us they instituted a growth toward our wonderful edifices of Jefferson, Grant and Roose- velt. The Oregon country was settled by the Oregon pioneers for homes, and its progress has been along homelike lines— wholesome and steady, kindly and true. It is this spirit that has been fostered throughout our school, where talent and ability are recognized and appreciated, regardless of race, creed or wealth. Oregon is arousing the interest of the nation. Its scenic grandeur has made it a wonderland of the nation. Its heroes are taking their places among the heroes of the nation. Its progressive spirit has made it a leader in political reform. We are the heirs to all this progress that our state has made. It is undeserved and unearned, but ours by the right of heritage. Our privileges and our advantages are far beyond the conception of those who toiled for and planned them, but what a debt is ours! What obligations are ours because of these advantages! In this sweep of civilization, we must hold what progress there is, add to it, and hand to the next generation something better—something finer, which grows out of our appreciative use of this heritage. T. P. Some eightv-odd years ago our ancestors, comfortably settled in their homes in the Middle west, felt that urge for glory and achievement that has characterized every prosperous nation of the world. Packing up their belongings and leaving behind such articles as could not be taken, they left their Page Sixty January, 1927 The Spectrum comfortable homes and started on the long, dangerous journey to Oregon. They knew little of the dangers before them, but they were fired by a splendid enthusiasm that never died. They were not versed in the ways of woodcraft and knew nothing about travel in their makeshift prairie schooners, but they had a determination to win that surmounted all ob- stacles. Beginning their long journey early in the spring, they trav- eled for weeks and months through an almost trackless country, surrounded by hostile Indians and handicapped by their inex- perience. They forded raging freshets. They climbed the towering mountains. They suffered severe losses at the hands of Indians and deadly pestilences, but they kept on. There came word that gold had been discovered in Cali- fornia. Some of the more venturesome, throwing down their plows, changed their route and left the train. But the others, those who had wiser counsel, plodded on and sought their fortunes in the fertility of the soil they knew to exist in Oregon. At length, their ranks thinned by death and desertion, they reached the banks of the Snake River, the boundary of the sought-for Oregon country. Pressing forward with renewed vigor, they at last achieved their goal and completed their splendid enterprise. Settling down in a strange country without the proper facilities for farming and carrying out a successful government, they faced the issue squarely and framed a territorial organiza- tion that served them well until Oregon’s admission as a state in 1859. They made mistakes. Naturally! Who wouldn’t? Their laws were far from perfect, but formed a basis that the State of Oregon could be built upon. Through the efforts of these hardy pioneers, our ances- tors, we have received a wonderful heritage. We have this vast country, renowned throughout the world for its beauty. We have these thousands of acres of fruit orchards, the pro- duce of which has unlimited fame. Our mighty rivers and widespread beaches would all be denied us but for their achieve- ments. Our towns and cities would be mere dreams except for them our state government is a continuation of the pro- vincial style of governing, instituted and put into practice by them. It is for us, the rising generation, to forget the mistakes these pioneers made and be blind to them in the light of all they did accomplish. It is our duty and privilege to take up the wonderful heritage left to us and to further as much as is in our power the splendid work done by them. A. C. Pagf Sixty-ont The Spectrum January, 1927 “From School Life into Life’s School” Seniors are we in this small world of ours; and freshmen in that which is to come. With gallant hearts and ready smiles we go out to face destiny in the world beyond our present sphere. There we shall find no helping hand. We must pull ourselves up the ladder of life by our own force—initiative, will power and pure hard work. How changed the world will look to us, when we step out of school life into life’s school, to begin the struggle of daily toil that constitutes life’s school. Once more we begin our upward climb toward the goal, success; and there is even more in the balance than when we started as fresh- men in school life. Only the future can divulge to us those who will drop out, exhausted by the eternal battle for success, and those of us who will attain the goal of being a senior. This time, “Senior” will mean more because it signifies the degree of “success” in life’s school. Lucy Staples.

By the looks of. respect and admira- tion accorded her by the numerous stagehands, I knew at once that I was in the presence of the renowned director, Miss Greathouse. Her name has been carried into the highways and byways bv her many successes and her reputation is known even to the school children of both England and the United States. At length she raised her famed megaphone and demand- ed in firm tones that the first act be shot. Reluctantly diverting my attention from her, I concentrated on the first act of the great human-interest drama. This act ran through all too quickly with Mademoiselle Sykes, widely known for her matronly acting and appearance on the stage, and Jacques Abele, the flower of French emotional actors, easily taking the lead. As an aside I might say that M. Abele has suspended work on Elinor Flynn’s new novel, “Wander- ing Waistlines,” to make “Milestones” a success. This act was greatly enhanced by the love scenes between Mile. Mar- guerite Rarick, the great Polish actress, and Steven Renfro, the American actor, recently discovered by Miss Greathouse during one of her tours through the country. The gentle demureness of Mile. Rarick and the typical American frank- ness of Mr. Renfro were extremely touching. Mr. George Miller, a rising young Canadian actor, took the role of Sam- uel Sibley and did himself great credit. Helen Pfeifer, only lately returned to the screen after her marriage and prolonged honeymoon in Europe, as Gertrude Read, furnished the dra- matic appeal in this act by breaking her engagement to Sam- uel and closing the act with an emotional cry, “The future!” The second act I must go over very hurriedly, but it is impossible to omit the wonderful acting of Miss Marie Meyers and Mr. Harry Emmons. Miss Meyers, who has been play- ing vampire roles in several recent successes, had a very diffi- cult part and it must be said that she was truly marvelous. Mr. Emmons, the eminent English actor, well-known on the continent for his amazing osculatory propensities, certainly lived up to his reputation. As he took Miss Meyers in his arms and passionately whispered “Emily,” even Miss Great- Page Nintty-ttvo January, 1927 The Spectrum house herself seemed moved. Mile. Violet Grek, prima donna of the Petromolitan Opera Company, was loaned to the Super- Cinema Company especially for this play. Mr. Miller, her husband in this act, was splendid, and their quaint discourse about their little son brought tears to my eyes as I thought of my own little kiddies back in Pensacola. Hut methinks I linger overlong, so allow me to comment on the third and last act. First before the camera were the tw’o butlers, Webster and Thompson, most cleverly butled by Messrs. Smith and Had field, respectively. Next on the stage was his honor, Mr. Albert Campbell, Duke of Northex, who played the role of Lord Monkhurst. The duke left his estate at Northex to take this part only after weeks of con- sultation between himself and the great director, Miss Great- house. The Honorable Muriel Pym, the sister of Lord Monk- hurst, was played by Miss Hariet Hughson. Miss Hughson has just finished a long engagement on Broadway and her won- drous beauty and elusive charm has placed her name in every theatre magazine of England and America. Miss Hughson is of a very independent type, and it is rumored that she has scornfully turned down offers of marriage from the Wince of Pails and Menito Bussilini. It is well known that the star takes an unholy delight in making her countless admirers mis- erable, and her part in “Milestones” gave her a wonderful chance to thoroughly squelch her loving brother, Lord Monk- hurst, and she certainly took advantage of it. Mr. Clayton Heiberg, as the fiance of Muriel, was very good. However, he was somewhat hampered by his sorrow caused by the loss of his fourth wife. It seems that she divorced him during his recent tour in Australia. She charged that he had paid more attention to the chorus girls than necessary, and the jury upheld her. In the last act, Mr. Renfro, Miss Pfeifer and Mile. Rarick, as old people, showed their wonderful versatility, that comes only through long experience. The play ended with the beautiful voice of Mile. Grek ringing through the studio, and so impressed was I that for some minutes I sat in silence. At length I rose to go, and as I wended my way through the cameras and Kleig lights, I realized that I had witnessed the filming of the greatest drama ever produced, “Milestones,” and that probably never again would I see such a galaxy of great stars under the supervision of such a great director, Miss Nina L. Greathouse. This report was inspired by the members of the cast and such occurrences as happened during practice, and was com- piled by Albert Campbell. Page Ninety-three The Spectrum January, 1927 SCHOOL NOTES “J” CLUB NOTES T he “J” Club is waiting to see whom of the new letter- men they wish to have voted into the club to fill the vacancies of the old members who will graduate in January. The club put on the same stunt that they did last year at the Hi Y Carnival. T he “J” Club has had charge of the new membership of the “Daddies’ Club” at Jefferson, but if they doq’t get busy and make that membership grow by leaps and bounds, our new gym may not materialize. The members who are graduating hope that both the old and new members carry on the work of the club, and help to secure this needed addition to our school. Gkorge Duffield, Secretary-Treasurer. WINGED PEN T he Winged Pen has had many worth-while achievements this term. Two Thanksgiving baskets were delivered to poor families. Two or three boxes for contributions to the Spectrum are being prepared for the halls. A “Round the World” party was given and greatly enjoyed. Our president, Evelyn Ho- berg, proves a very capable leader. Margaret Morrison, Secretary. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has greatly improved since last term. Many interesting programs and meetings have been held. The new members have taken up the work with sufficient effi- ciency to carry over the club into the next term. A party was held on November 27 at the home of Dorothy Wede- mever, and was enjoyed by every member present. T he mem- bers have all received their pins and are very proud of them. Margaret Morrison, Secretary. STENO CLUB During the first quarter of school, the officers of the Steno Club were busy getting members. By the second meet- ing there were thirty-nine new members. The initiation party was held at Lucy Staples’ home. About thirty-five turned out for the party, including Mr. Rockwell and Miss Cunning- ham. The prominent business men of the city were so busy that it was impossible to get speakers for our meetings, although much effort was expended for the purpose. The last meeting of the term was held in room 52. T his consisted of a musical program. Olive Martin, Secretary. Page Ninety-four January, 1927 The Spectrum PI-DELTS The club has had a very successful term this fall, under the able leadership of our president, Jess Winn. The club membership was increased from twenty-five to thirty-five and several boys were voted in to fill the quota. The Pi-Delt-Zeta joint meeting was held at the home of Dick Jennings and was a huge success. A night meeting at the home of Junior Brink on December 22 was a great suc- cess and a good time was had by all. Although the Zetas won the bi-annual Pi-Delt-Zeta de- bate, the Pi-Delts were ably upheld by Edward Efteland and Bob Van Nice. A banquet ended the year and was a fitting climax to the very successful term. By the sign of the owl ye shall know us. Jack Stipe, Secretary. GIRLS’ LEAGUE “It’s all over Jefferson.” “What is?” “Why, the Girls’ League, of course.” We are just a new organization this term, but if our future is as full of enthusiasm as our beginning, we promise to be one of the outstanding organizations of Jefferson. Every girl is a member and the business is carried on by a Central Council composed of two representatives from each registration room. One feature of our term’s work was a frolic given bv the Senior girls for the Freshmen girls. We also supplied two families with bountiful Thanksgiving baskets. We try to promote a friendly spirit among all the girls. You’ll hear more from us next term. Mildred Wharton, Secretary. FIRE SQUAD NOTES The boys on the Fire Squad may seem to be slow, but as soon as they hear the fire gong one would think they were all track men. Harry Kreiger, one of the ablest chiefs Jeff has ever had, belonged to the track team last year; this is one reason why the squad empties the building in one minute and twenty-five seconds. The squad is going to invite several different business men’s clubs to witness one of our drills. 'l'he Fire Squad is a most necessary organization in any school, and Jeff’s is most anxious to do their work with great efficiency, hence they request student co-operation in all their drills. George Duffield, Asst. Bat. Chief. Page Ninety-five The Spectrum January, 1927 P. E. P. CLUB The P. E. P. is a newly organized club and perhaps you don’t know what those letters stand for. P. E. P. means Physical Education Promoters, and that is the name of the girl gym leaders. Next term all girls in the club who have passed an examination after receiving their “A” bands will receive a shield on which is a small J. Sleeveless jerseys will be worn by any leader who has earned her shield. The club pins have been purchased and are very clever emblems, being in the shape of a shield and having the word “gym” written on a band with the letter of the school engraved above. The girls are anticipating a party which will be held in honor of the graduating girls at the home of the president late in the term. This will establish a custom for the club’s having one party each term, and that in honor of the graduates. Margie Morrison. TRI-Y The Tri Y’s have completed a very active and successful term. The term began with committees’ organization and instruction under the able leadership of our new advisor, Miss Sims. Our many activities have included a candy sale, the inter-club party, and our participation in the Hi Y carnival. Three girls from our group were among those who met Prin- cess Ileana at the Multnomah Hotel, where she told them about Girl Reserve work in Roumania. Recognition service for new members was held November 15, after which a ban- quet was held at the Hazelwood. Baskets for needy families were prepared both at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. We regret that our members of the January ’27 class will not be with us next term and wish them every success as they leave. Geraldine Grigsby, Secretary. TRAILS CLUB A party, three successful hikes and many interesting meet- ings have made this term a banner one for the Trails Club. A hike and skiing party at Government Camp during the Christmas holidays capped the climax for the club’s winter hikes, as all hikes that are planned for after Christmas will be held during the spring term. Wm. George, Secretary LATIN CLUB As an amusing novelty which adds a real Roman flavor to our meetings, we now sing the first verse of “America” in Latin. The words fit the tune very well and it is not only interesting, but also a very appropriate ceremony. Our pro- grams also include musical numbers, and at our last meeting Page Ninety-six January, 1927 The Spectrum several Mother Goose rhymes were given in a combination of Latin and English. We are doing very well under the leadership of our two consuls, Margie Morrison and Lee Stafford. Nellie May Hadfield, Aedile. FHILOMATHEONS The Philomatheons are not asleep. They have increased their membership from 35 to 40 and are well pleased with the results and with the new members. Their Thanksgiving basket turned itself into three and was given to a very deserving family. We tried to make it more than enough for one day and succeeded. The girls, acting on the advice of Miss Reid, elected Miss Deierlein as an assistant. Miss Deierlein will go with the girls on their hikes, swimming parties and so forth. The girls have showed their determination to get better acquainted with Miss Deierlein at once by enthusiastically planning a swimming party as the first of a series of social ac- tivities. The Philomatheons also took a booth in the Hi Y Carnival and conducted a fishing pond. All the members took an active interest in preparing for it and they had good results. Martha Wetzel, Secretary. HI-Y NOTES The Hi Y’s feel that they have completed a very success- ful term, under the leadership of President Eaton and the help of Mr. Albee, both from a standpoint of service rendered and the benefit and pleasure the boys have derived from mem- bership. Some of the most outstanding among the activities for the fall term of 1926 are the Hi Y Carnival, the M. U. F. (Move Up Forward) campaign, the Hi Y dance, the peanut sale, and the semi-annual visit with Mr. Jenkins. The carnival, considered from all angles, was a great suc- cess, and about $220 was earned to be given to the school. All those present spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening. The most influential activity of the term contributing to the benefit of the members was the M. U. F. campaign, in which each Hi Y invited a guest and all attended a banquet, at which Mr. Harry Dodge delivered an inspirational address. The boys were then divided into vocational groups, at the heads of which were men successful in the particular line of endeavor which the boys had previously indicated. Much was gained from these interviews. The dance was thoroughly enjoyed by every one present. The peanut sale was successful as usual. At the meeting which Mr. Jenkins attended a program was Page Ninety-seven The Spectrum January, 1927 rendered and refreshments were served. Our principal re- marked favorably on several stands the club had taken. The Hi Y’s are very much pleased with what they have accomplished during this term and hope to continue the good work next year. Jess F. Winn, Secretary. USHER CORPS The club completed its membership quota by taking in George St raver, Vernon Davis, Wade Parker, Bob Stevens and Walter Greb at the meeting on December 8, 1926. The Corps, working under the leadership of this term’s president, George Duffield, and the assistance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Wood, have completed a successful semester. During the five years that Mr. Wood has been with the Corps he has aided us in overcoming many problems which came to us. Mr. Wood will continue as faculty advisor for the following term. M. Monteith Jacobs, Secretary. THE JEFFERSON ROOTERS’ CLUB 'Phis has been a very successful term for the Rooters’ Club. Our movie and megaphone sale turned out much better than we expected. We have been well represented at all the foot- ball games and hope for as large crowds at the basketball games. The members believe they are safe in saying that this term has been one of the best in the history of the club. More events have been sponsored by the Rooters’ Club this term than any other. At the Jefferson-Washington game on Thanks- giving Day the club put on the first card stunt ever to be tried by a Portland school. Many favorable comments as to our card stunt have been received, and we are satisfied that it was a success. Clarence Edwards, Secretary Page Ninety-eight January, 1927 The Spectrum ATHLETICS BASKETBALL NOTES Jefferson has had two poor seasons in basketball. This is largely due to the poor equipment for practicing. In order to put out a championship team at Jefferson we must have a new gymnasium. We could win basketball championships in the olden days, when all of the schools had poor gymnasiums, but since the other schools have new and modern gymnasiums, even Jefferson’s fighting teams cannot overcome this handi- cap. Who has the best gymnasium in the city? The answer is Grant High. Who won the championship last year in basketball? Again the answer is Grant. Our gym has only two baskets for the boys to practice shooting into, while at Grant, Henson, Washington and Franklin there are a dozen baskets for practice, thereby allowing their players, six times as much practice as our players receive. In spite of these handicaps, Coaches Nelson and Mickel- waite are drilling our boys with the determination of putting Jefferson on the map of basketballdom again. T here are only two lettermen on the squad, Flegel and Dimmick. T here are several men on the squad who are showing first team ability, however, mainly men on last year’s team, who did not play long enough to earn their letters. T hose showing exceptional ability are Hob Eaton, Lee Stafford, Bob Sullivan, Ollie Pal- mer and Galen Chettlet. FOOTBALL Is it possible to build a football team using only three let- termen for the “backbone?” This was the question in many minds at the beginning of the season. In answer to this ques- tion Coach Nelson and Coach Michlewaite turned out a squad that finished tied with Franklin for third place. To the coaching staff belongs the credit for the success of the team. They took the crude material that was thrust upon them and built from it a team that “weathered” seven hard games of football, losing only three, and those by very close margins. One of the most serious set-backs the team had during the entire season was the loss of Brian Mimnaugh, who was unable to play because of a fractured ankle. To Russell Smith goes a good deal of well earned credit for his admirable play- ing as quarter in Brain’s place. Captain Winkler and Mark Grayson were the two main cogs in our line, while “Art” Flegel and “Ed” Hollingshead were the bulwark of defense in the backfield. The beautiful Page Ninety-nine The Spectrum January, 1927 running of Clayton Heiberg certainly added plenty of thrills to the games. “Billy” Minsinger’s ability to break through the line for long gains, and “Ed” Hollingshead’s knack of snaring passes was almost uncanny. Paul O’Donnell and Jack Woods kept their opponents in hot water by their vicious rushing. The opponent who could carry the ball over Ander- son, Had field and Taylor earned every inch of his gain. In Coach Nelson’s reserves were Apperson, Sullivan, Chetalet, Prendergast, ends; Brennan, Mourton, Wagner and Shacklett, guards; Wuner, back; Newgard and Dodson, centers. When grid warriors don suits for the 1927 contest, the two losses the Blue and Gold squad will notice most are those of the two All-Star tackles, Winkler and Grayson, and along with the departed stars will be Smith, Heiberg, Hadfield, Apperson, O’Donnell, Sullivan, Wagner, Minsinger, Chetalet, Mourton, Anderson, Woods and Shacklett, who will have graduated. Those players who will be out after another championship in 1927 for Jefferson are Brian Mimnaugh, “Art” Flegel, Alex Miller, James Newgard, “Ken” Wuner, “Bus” Prendergast, “Si” Brennan and Taylor. With all this wonderful material back in line, the 1927 season can’t help being a big success. SOCCER NOTES Under the leadership of Coach Campbell, our prospects in soccer look unusually bright. Coach says that he will show them a few tricks this year, and from the way he coached baseball last season, we know he is capable of doing it. For two years Jefferson has defeated every team except Benson. In both seasons our boys tied Benson in the first games, but lost second games by close scores. The boys feel, however, that they are capable of avenging these defeats this year, and we hope they do it. Although there are only four lettermen back this season, there are several substitutes from last year’s team who are capable of taking the places of the veterans who have gradu- ated. The boys who are showing up exceptionally well are Prendergast, C. Hall, H. Hall, K. Jetty, J. McRae, L. Lille and J. Mars. Prendergast earned his letter in football this season, and Lilly is a track man. The four lettermen are Newgard, Woodward, Kreiger and Wilcke. All but Newgard play the backfield. The captain will be chosen from among these four lettermen. Coach Campbell has scheduled games with the men who played on last year’s team, who have formed their own team, with the object of giving his proteges as much practice as pos- sible.

We have just uncovered the source of Jefferson’s musical talent in the form of “The Troubadours,” consisting of Harry E., Leo Laurin, Roy Brummage and “Olie” Palmer. Thelma Powell has an added attraction (other than her hair)—the traps. Rather extemporaneous—what? The only trouble with Albert Campbell is that the girls don’t know when to take him seriously-----? You should give some of your height to Mildred Oliver, Ellis; you don’t need it. We’ll meet you again in the light opera, Clara. Miss Ingles doesn’t believe that Duffy really knows how to pick up his feet. Page One Hundred One The Spectrum January, 1927 Can you imagine— Ralph Hadfield without his gum? Harry Emmons in a serious mood in Oral English? Myron Griffin not talking? Allen Reed getting his lessons? Kenneth Younger out for football? Albert Campbell as a caveman? Virgil Brittain not boasting? Jack Abele telling a funny joke? George Duffield without his big voice? Lucile Martin not playing tennis? Charles S. as a sheik? Norma Springer not talking of George? Ralph Apperson keeping still? Really, Bob Craw, you will have to learn to quit smiling. The girls get quite excited at times. Well, Lucile, you shouldn’t take boys riding during school time, especially if they are inclined to fall “halfout” the car. Maybe you wouldn’t believe it, but Fern’s last name is Gossett—not Gossip. « When did we hear— “John, you’re a hard, hard old man”? “How much is one-twrentieth”? “Oh, what’s the use”? “The future”? “But, Grandpa--------”? “And Sam took unto wife, Nancy”? “Well, don’t you like it”? “Yes, John, dear”?

A second Rudolph has been found in “Abie” Campbell, favorite movie idol, who is now acting in “Abie's Irish Nose”? Mignon has decided to stay close at home because she has been told that the travel “broadens one so, donchano?” Charles McDevitt is applying for a patent on his latest invention of elastic muzzles for vicious freshmen? Harry Emmons acquired his manly jaw by blowing up all the balloons that are distributed by the Hippodrome? The perfect girl has— Lucile Martin’s smile. Marie Meyer’s eyes. Minyon Brasen’s hair.

Page One Hundred Three The Spectrum January, 1927 NOTES ON THE JANUARY-JUNE FOOTBALL GAME George Duffield’s wide end run through center. L. Zimmerman of the January class got off one 45-yard punt—20 yards up, 20 yards down and 5 backward. On an exchange of offside penalties the June class gained 3 feet. Leo Laurin had the ball with a clear field in front of him. Outdistancing all pursuers, he suddenly became aware that his shoestring was untied. Horrors! He must tie it immediately. So, setting the ball down on the 10-yard line, he went to work and quickly tied the unruly lace. Reaching for the ball, he found is gone, and on looking round, beheld it headed for the opposite goal line in the arms of O. Palmer. Heavens! He must retrieve that pigskin. So, throwing his presidential dig- nity to the winds, he started pell mell in pursuit. Remembering that he had been a 20-second man in grammar school, he loosed a burst of speed and then another and another till speed was bursting all around him. In the meantime Omar Palmer had eluded all tacklers and was headed for a touchdown. Laurin, seeing this, redoubled his efforts and fast closed the gap that separated them. The audience held its breath until with a last despairing leap Leo threw himself at the feet of his rival.
