Our sails are trimmed and ready; Our crew is blithely gay, For in labor done, and games we’ve won, We’re fair in work and play. Looking back before the sailing At the carefree, happy days, We feel a twinge of sadness At the parting of the ways. Yes, Jefferson, we’re sailing, Hut before we cross the line. Give a cheer and cry “Bon voyage” To the class of twenty-nine. Dedication C t O show, in some measure, our sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the help and guidance that he has given to us during the four years in which we have been a part of Jefferson, we, the January Class of 1929, dedicate this, our Spectrum, to Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Hopkin Jenkins Mr. Boss hr man Miss Holman In Appreciation Erros Drews To you, our teachers, friends, and counsellors,— Whose kindness oft has blazed our falt’ring way, Whose patience, when our spirits weakened were, Revived our hope and strengthened our resolve, Whose frowns have sometimes pricked us sluggish ’til We tried again and viewed success at last; In short, for all that you have done to send Us full-equipped and armor-clad to meet The unknown future’s first experience; For things that you have done unselfishly, Unlocking for us learning’s hidden store, For counsel given us in friendliness, And heartening for lessons slowly learned, And smiles that made the world seem far less dark,— We pay our deepest gratitude and know That we have mastered with your help The first slow steps of Life’s intricate dance. Victory Ruth Frazier e cl.mb, tho’ the rocks be rugged: We’ll reach the heights at last. Though times have been hard. There has been the reward, And Victory comes at last. You’re watching us, Jefferson High; You’re spurring us on our way. Kindly you’ve given help, Patiently guided our step. Till victory came our way. Our games were hard-fought battles; Our winnings were often few; But the spirit we showed, Fighting every inch of the road, Was a Victory, every one knew. We’re saying “Farewell”, dear old High, We’re lonely at parting today; But back we will come, When Victory we’ve won. For that’s Jeffersonians’ way. CLASS SONC J I Turds and Music by Wilma Belt 4 Jefferson, before we depart, The January 29 class would say We never will find such a school or such kind Of friends as we’ve made here today. II Jefferson, we give you this vow That altho we sometimes may fall, We never will stop till we’ve climbed to the top And compassed our purposes all. CHORUS Jefferson, we leave you now For you’ve finished your part in our lives. We’ve worked and we’ve played here; We’ve formed and we’ve made here Foundations which always survive. But, Jefferson, our memories Will bring us the closer to you. We’ll work and we’ll pray That there may be a day When we ll honor the gold and the blue.

Thirty-ons The Spectrum January, 1929 Class Prophecy IT was close on nine o’clock. The gleam of headlights passing in the nearby streets and the glow of arc lights flickering on the corners gleamed on the windows of a great building and made them wink like wise, twinkling eyes. To the stranger who was looking out over the indistinct campus, the statue that stood before the building semed the most familiar of all. “Ten years,” he mused, looking up at it. “What tales you could tell if you could speak!” Suddenly a long, weird shriek rose and fell on his ears, rose and fell again, and yet once more. “Curfew,” said the stranger. “It’s been a long time since I last heard that, Thomas, old boy.” “You must have been away,” said a strange voice from above him. Startled, he looked up. To the stranger it seemed that the statue was leaning over and peering at him in the darkness. “Who are you, anyway? I can’t see you in this light.” “I’m an Alumnus,” he replied proudly and no longer aston- ished, “class of January ’29.” “Well, well, it’s been a long time since anyone bothered to talk to me. I think I’ll get down and stretch a bit. Lend me a hand, won’t you?” Obligingly the Alumnus helped the statue down from his pedestal. For a moment he walked back and forth to ease his limbs, stiff with so many years of sitting. “You know, he went on. “I feel like having an adventure tonight. How would you like to see some of your old classmates, or, at least, to find out something about them?” “Let’s go,” agreed the Alumnus. The statue took him by the hand and they set out. Look- ing back, the graduate was startled to see himself still standing by the statue. His companion reassured him: “Oh, ves I changed us into spirits; we can get around so much quicker. Come on.” It was rather fun being a spirit. They could float and glide and soar through the air in no time at all. They sailed over the city glowing with its myriads of lights and finally dropped down on the roof of a great building. Slipping through keyholes and ventilators, they learned many things. 'Fhe building in which they were was a notable example of the work of Richard Dougherty, the famous architect. In it they discovered the Portland offices of Dr. Ralph Walstrom, the noted baby specialist, who practices part of every year in New York. His most trusted nurse was Ruth Van Meter. % Thirty-two January, 1929 The Spectrum In the building there were the offices of Margaret Hickey and Wilma Belt, attorneys-at-law, who were working on the Craig vs. Olson case, defending Eunice, who was being sued for breach of promise bv her fiance, Craig. Their court reporter was Ruth Parrish, who fulfilled her duties most expertly. Helen Foye of the ‘‘Oregonian” was writing feature articles on the case. Next to the Dougherty Building stood the luxurious and expensive hotel owned by Howard Gerttula, whose private sec- retary was Hazel Klamt. At the Municipal Auditorium they slipped, invisible, past the doorkeepers, and witnessed the benefit performance given by world-famous artists to raise money for an addition to the Auditorium. Among them they recognized several Jefferson graduates. Olga Dickson, a renowned concert violinist, played a duet with Arthur Olson, the conductor of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Aleene Conner, the whistling woman, whistled a few popular selections accompanied by Glen Hurl- burt, the noted jazz king of New York. Next Katherine Friese received great applause for a group of humorous read- ings. Elsie Beier’s novelty act from the Pantages Circuit con- cluded the program. The spirits moved on until they reached Meier Frank’s store, where Woodrow Gowdy was the assistant manager and William McNamara, Elizabeth McGrath, Phyllis Harding and Thomas Prince were salespeople in various departments. As they proceeded up the street, they passed the garage and office of the Cadillac Motor Company, which Stephen Putnam owned. Next to this garage stood a large building which was especially noted for its restaurant, owned by Russell Neilsen. At the various tables many Jefferson Alumni were sittting. Arthur Anderson, a doctor, was having a conference with Edward Parker, the famous chemist, and with William Taylor, the football coach at Yale. Hester McNaughton, former pri- vate secretary to Herbert Hoover, was talking animatedly with Ella Amoth and Ethel Amell concerning the Campfire Girls’ organization. On the top floor of the building was a tea room owned by Ethel Bloom and Eva Gross. The City Hall was the next stop in the trip of the spirits. Archie Hall, mayor of Portland, sat dictating a letter to Helen Campbell, his private secretary. In the next office sat Alvin Sippel, the head meat inspector of the Swift Company. In the office of the secretary of aviation, Alex Hill was in conference with Orval Sax of the Cadillac Salesman Bureau. Helen Reid was the nurse in charge of the City Health Bureau. In the luxurious General Offices Building were many offices Thirtx-thrff The Spectrum January, 1929 of the Jefferson graduates. Maxine Van Hoy was working in the office of Ignatius Dombrowski, taking orders for his work as hardwood floor expert. In the studio of the famous artist, Margaret Lindsay, Leona McEwen had a small space set off for her work as a manicurist. The famous Clow Kind- ergarten had a large office, and Miss Bowen was teaching the children their daily dancing lesson. On the main floor of the general offices of the Union Pacific, Alex Miller was trying to satisfy Miss Benton, who was complaining of the service she had received on this railroad line when she was coming home from the U. of N. Y., where she was employed as a teacher in foreign languages. The Alumnus pointed at a building standing in a residential district, as he inquired if any alumni worked there. The Spirit of Jefferson told him that Marguerite Dickie, a personal shopper, had her office there. Agnes Bonvhae also had a music studio there. On the ground floor was located the office of Ralph Sharkey, a real estate dealer. Near this building there was a large white house, the home of Maurine Jeude and her husband. The house was well lighted and laughter was floating out on the still air. Edward Halseth, the professional golf champion, was holding Maurine’s little girl on his lap while he conversed with the new Holly- wood star, Camille Gerber. Other guests were Louise Rhodes, a happy matron, and Kenneth Tormoehlen, the president of the U. S. National Bank of Chicago. “Well, I believe it’s time to return home,” the Alumnus said. As they reached Jefferson High again, the statue told him that a few of the old students were working in the school as teachers. Ella Sampert had replaced Mr. Augur as head of the history department. Gwendolyn Baker was teaching Eng- lish in the same room in which she had spent her Senior year. She often found herself dreaming of the olden days. Nita Neeb was the verv efficient secretarv in the office, replacing M iss Naylor. John Regan was the motorman on the Missis- sippi car line, taking the students to and from school. 'Pile Alumnus helped the statue up to his seat and thanked him very kindly. “Good night, Alumnus, come again and we shall take other trips,” Thomas Jefferson said as he turned back into his for- mer figure of stone. Pile Alumnus called back, “Thank you, I will.” (Signed) Erros Drews, Grant Stones, Kathryn McBride, Roy Young. Thirty-jour January, 1929 The Spectrum Record of the January ’29 Class So far each class has added something to Jefferson—a hit of spirit, enthusiasm, loyalty, a certain tradition—making it a bigger, broader, and better school because of their efforts. Dur- ing our four-year career at Jefferson we have striven to do this to the best of our ability. On March 15, 1928, we joyfully started upon our Senior year by electing Jack Cate president, Margaret Hickey vice- president, Olga Dickson secretary, Ralph Walstrom treasurer, and Alex Miller sergeant-at-arms, as officers of our organiza- tion. In order that the members of the class might become better acquainted with one another, a get-together party was held in the school gymnasium on March 23. We wore our golden emblems, the “J”, and displayed our colors, roumaine green and salmon pink, for the first time on March 27. On this day we were officially recognized by the June ’28 class with their banners of congratulation. The June ’28 class honored us with a dance on April 13, and in spite of the fact that it was “Friday the thirteenth” all had an enjoyable time. Our first class movie, Douglas Fair- banks in “Don Q”, which was held on May 4, proved to be a great success. We began our plans for the last lap of our career as Seniors of Jefferson on September 4. At a later meeting we elected a staff to edit the Class Spectrum. Russell Woodward was elected editor, and Wesley Gregg associate editor. Our class motto, “We climb, though the rocks be rugged”, was selected at a still later meeting. October 12 we held a reception for the Freshmen of Jeffer- son, who, in a short time, will be the Seniors of our school. At an assembly held on October 15, Mr. Jenkins introduced the officers of our class to the student body. A program was then presented by members of the class. 'Fhe January-June football game was held on October 31. The score was 19-6 in favor of the June class. Are we down- hearted? No! As our motto implies, “We climb, though the rocks be rugged.” Our second movie, a double feature, “The Fighting Eagle” and “Grandma’s Boy”, gained hearty commendation from the students. We honored the June ’29 class, which is to succeed ours, bv a dance held in the school gymnasium on December 7. December 14 and 15 are memorable dates for our class. On Thirty-jivf The Spectrum January, 1929 these dates we put on our Class Play, “The Patsy ”. We are indeed proud that this play is one of the best ever presented at Jefferson. Now we have only to look forward to the Senior assembly, our long anticipated goal, Commencement, and the biggest cele- bration of all, the Senior Prom. Then we shall bid our last farewell to Jefferson, our high school. We shall always re- member the friends we have made, both among the faculty and in the student body. We shall earnestly try, throughout life, to live up to the standards which Jefferson has set for us. Thirty-six January, 1929 The Spectrum President’s Farewell It does not seem possible that it was four years ago that we entered this school as Freshmen. It seems just yesterday that we were walking through these huge halls, feeling that we were in a foreign country and without friends. Now, as we come into this building, we are met by an atmosphere just as pleasant as that of our homes. As we look back over these four short years, relive the good times we have had here, and recall the valuable things we have learned, we experience a feeling of deep regret at the thought of leaving these dear halls. We have been taught many different things here at Jefferson to aid us when we get out into the world. Our academic work has better equipped our minds to cope with the problems of everyday life. We have been taught sportsmanship of the highest degree, the boast of Jefferson High School—to play the game clean and hard, and to be a good loser as well as a good winner. The various student activities have given us a knowledge of social life, the organization of societies and the individual duties of members of organizations. Under the con- stant guidance of our teachers we have learned to look on studies not merely as valuable for the knowledge contained in them, but as a means of training our minds in the paths of clear and analytical thinking. But the greatest thing which we have gained from our high school work is the building of character and the incentive to look on life more squarely. It is with sad hearts, then, that we leave these home-like halls, but we go with the knowledge gained from four years’ study and with a much broader vision than if we had spent these four years in another way.

Htterarp January, 1929 The Spectrum Shirley Catches a Burglar Marjorie Spencer N the front porch of her darkened home Shirley turned and, with a pretty gesture, held out her hand to Bob Wallace. “Good night, Bob,” she whispered, “and thanks for a won- derful time.” Bob seized her hand in a quick, embarrassed grasp and was gone, running down the steps to the car. Two other voices, a girl’s and a boy’s, came softly: “ ’Night, Shirley.” As the car moved off she waved, then turned and laid her hand on the doorknob. Very slowly and with infinite care she turned the knob. Once it caught and her heart leaped. Was the door locked? It yielded to her touch, however, and very slowly, much as she had turned the handle, she pushed it open. Without a sound it swung back. Suddenly a hideous shriek reverberated through the silent house. With a mental curse Shirley halted and listened. No sound came. She drew a breath of relief and swung the door swdftly to. She stood for a moment, her back to the door, orientating herself, then started her cautious way toward the stairs. Half way across the intervening space she ran forcefully into Bud’s smoking stand. There was a reverberating clash and clatter that echoed through the whole house. “Oh darn!” Shirley wailed softlv. “And ashes all over the rug, I’ll bet!” She picked up the treacherous article of furniture and, after righting it, listened. Still there was no sound of wrathful parent aroused from slumber deep. Odd! Then suddenly she emitted a peal of laughter followed by still other peals. Weakly she staggered to the davenport and fell on it. She had just remembered! Mr. and Mrs. Rose and Alice had gone down to Newberg over the week-end. Bud was spending the night with a friend. She ceased laughing abruptly, her mouth still open, this time in a squeal of surprise. I he light had flashed on, and she was gazing into the black barrel of a tiny blue automatic backed bv a pair of the most blazing gray eyes she had even seen. Her first impulse w as Forty-onr The Spectrum January, 1929 to jump and scream, but the stranger’s hoarse whisper destroyed that idea as it was born. “Throw up your hands and keep quiet, or I’ll pump you full of lead!” Oddly enough, the voiced command calmed Shirley at once. Remembering suddenly that her mouth was still open, she shut it. Although outwardly she was smiling composedly, inwardly she was seething with excitement. How thrilling! Headlines flashed into her brain. “INTREPID HEROINE CATCHES THIEF THROUGH SHEER COURAGE!” And gee! but he certainly was good-looking! The gray eyes continued to blaze, however, and the auto- matic continued to point unwaveringly at the fatal spot just above her heart. After a moment, still keeping one eye a little doubiously on the weapon, Shirley spoke. “Well,” she said casually, “I’m surprised.” The gray eyes still regarded her suspiciously. Their owner said nothing. “However,” she continued lightly, “that’s neither here nor there. The main question is: What do you want?” At last she seemed to have struck some responsive chord in the other, for the gray eyes shifted, wavered ever so slightly, then dropped. Their owner (“He’s not much more than twenty-one,” Shirley thought, thrilled, “and he’s perfectly adorable!”)—their owner looked embarrassed, even fearful. At once, however, he had control of his emotions. His grip on the gun tightened, then relaxed, and he shoved it into his coat pocket, still keeping his hand in the pocket. “Hm-m,” he said lightly, almost as lightly as Shirley had spoken. “What would you naturally suspect?” “If you’re after the silverware, you really can’t get away with it, you know.” “Ah ? And why not ?” One might almost have thought his lip twitched. “Because, for one thing, all I should have to do would be to yell—I mean call—and Daddy—!” “Yeah?” Unbelief was in his tone. Shirley was nonplussed. “Well, anyway the neighbors,” she asserted a little less confidently. “What if I should gag you? I could very easily.” “But you wouldn’t, you know. You’re too chivalrous for that.” Now she was sure he laughed. Forty-two January, 1929 The Spectrum “Well, perhaps. Still, circumstances alter cases, don’t you think? I’d hardly care to he meeting your neighbors just at present, you know.” “Oh!” cried Shirley, tiring of the game. “Why sit here like two idiots bandying words back and forth ?” “Speak for yourself,” the stranger tried to say lightly, hut the words caught in his throat and he caught his lip between his teeth in an effort to stop its trembling. Apparently this criminal was not hardened to the necessities of his trade. “I say!” cried Shirley in genuine sympathy, “what is the matter ?” She forgot that this lad (for he was hardly more than that) was an interloper in her home and a fugitive from the law if alarm were raised ; she thought only that here was a fellow being in trouble. The boy sank down on the davenport and buried his head in his hands. “I may as well give myself up,” he groaned. “My name is Dave Robertson. I need money. I’ve got to have it. And you needn’t say I ought to work for it,” he added defiantly, “for I can’t find any work.” “And why,” Shirley pursued after a moment’s hesitation, “do you need money so badly?” The eyes of the would-be burglar met hers half in defiance, half in pleading. He didn’t answer. Shirley shrugged, then turned impulsively. “Look here,” she said, “maybe I can help you.” Her mind was working fast. “I’ve got twenty-five dollars in my hank upstairs, and I think I can help you get a job. You know Mr. Anthony Wallace, the store owner?” She waited for his nod of agreement before she went on. “I know his son, and he—well—he likes me pretty well. I heard just today that he needs another man in the checking room. If I write you a note of introduction to him, I’m sure he’ll put you on.” She stopped, expecting to hear a flood of gratitude, hut none was forthcoming. Dave merely sat and stared at her in stupe- faction. At last he muttered inarticulately: “The—the—twenty-five dollars—” “Think nothing of it,” said Shirley airily as if giving away lump sums of twenty-five dollars was a common occurrence in her life. “Consider it a loan if you wish. Just a minute, I’ll go get it. While I’m gone, get me a pen and some sta- tionery from the desk, will you?” She was gone, running up the stairs on light feet. When she had gone, Dave got out the writing materials as directed. As he did so, he glanced down at a sheet of paper lying on Forty-thrte The Spectrum January, 1929 the desk. With a start he looked at it again, then whipped out a little notebook and copied in it several lines from the paper. Suddenly he clapped a hand to his heart, while a curiously strained look passed over his face. He glanced quickly at the head of the stairway, then tiptoed across the room toward the dining room. Midway of his flight Shirley’s clear voice stopped him. “Oh, Mr. Robertson,” she called, “I had five dollars more than I thought. There’s thirty dollars here.” Air. Robertson turned, trying to appear casual. “Is that right?” he inquired somewhat feebly. Shirley, however, noticed nothing strange in his manner. Being rather unacquainted with the ways of burglars, she supposed such state was natural with him. She came down blithely, dashed off her note, placed it in an envelope, and thrust both the note and the money into the boy’s hand. She had intended to make a graceful little speech as she did so, but at the last moment she seemed to be overcome with bash- fulness and all she could say was “Here”. It seemed to serve its purpose, however, in reaching the youth’s vital organ, for he gave her a queer gaze of what Shirley took for gratitude as he accepted what was offered him. Again the strained, almost agonized look passed over his face, and this time Shirley saw it. “What is the matter, Air. Robertson?” she asked. He made a visible effort at self-control. “Nothing really, dear madam,” he said. Then he reached into his pocket and brought forth the gun. “For security,” he mumbled, and held it out to her. “Why—why, thank you,” Shirley cried, surprised. Again he gave a rather peculiar look at Shirley and a longing one at the dining room; then he was moving tow’ard the door. On the porch: “Good night, Air. Robertson,” said Shirley for the second time that night in leave-taking. “Good night— and good luck!” “Good night,” mumbled the would-be burglar and stumbled rather blindly over the steps and down, the street. The girl watched him a moment, then turned and went into the house. She stood awhile just inside the door, looking dreamily about the room. What an adventure! Wouldn’t the girls be wild if they knew , but of course, it was so much more romantic not to tell, thrilling to have a secret as big as this one. She recalled magazine stories that she had read of reformed crooks falling in love with the angels of light and goodness who had brought their erring footsteps back onto the right path. Forty-four January, 1929 The Spectrum Still in a trance, she moved around the room restoring paper and pen and ink to their rightful positions. She saw a dusty footprint on the carpet and got the broom and swept it away. Still absent-minded, she wandered again over to the desk and stood staring down at its smooth, shining surface, not that she saw either that or the paper that she had been idly scribbling on earlier in the evening while waiting for Bob and Ray and Carol. She picked the paper up, however, and looked at it, gradually focusing her eyes back to things of normal ken. It was covered with large, free-scrawled char- acters. She read her name and Bob Wallace’s, cancelled; likewise Ray’s and Carol’s, then her name again, the name of her school, the date of graduation—catch words and phrases, chance re- marks, bits of new slang, anything that a person with nothing in particular on his or her mind is likely to write when a blank sheet of white paper awaits and pen and ink are nigh. Slowly she folded the paper up and as slowly tore it to pieces; then she carried it over and put it into the fireplace. She lit a match and applied it to the fragments, which burned up in a tiny gust of flame. When the ashes again lay quiet, she turned and in leisurely fashion crossed the room and ascended the stairs, pausing on the landing as the grandfather clock struck a silvery note. Twelve-thirty! Just twenty minutes from the moment she had arrived home to change the entire course of her life. Bob seemed remote and unfamiliar now. She continued her upward march, turned off the living room light from the switch at the head of the stairs, and entered her bedroom, illuminated only by the cold moonlight. Brr! It was chilly! With a start she roused from her roseate dreams and in a trice was ready for bed and had hopped in and burrowed down deep under the covers. Almost immediately she slept, slept with the quick, heavenly sleep of the conscience-free. She woke to watery sunlight and Sunday breakfast by her- self. Dishes, the roast in the electric oven, Sunday school, then another wait broken by preparations for dinner; then the arrival of the family from Newberg and Bud from his friend’s house. Dinner was on the table and everybody seated but her mother, who was finishing her little inspection tour so customary with her after having been away from home. Suddenly she faced them from the buffet cabinet. Her face was pale and her voice tense as she announced, her slow drawl gone as though on a puff of wind: Forty-five The Spectrum January, 1929 “Somebody has stolen six of Great-Aunt Deborah’s silver spoons!” Shirley sat petrifed, a glass of water half way to her lips, her eyes fastened on her mother’s face. Surely she hadn’t heard aright. She set the glass down, moistened her lips, and looked around the table, at the faces expressing various shades of con- sternation and dismay. Not Aunt Debby’s silver spoons! She well knew their value. Their history extended back to Revolutionary days; they had at one time been buried to save them from the Hessians. In- deed she knew their value, and she knew her mother’s gentle pride in them. “They belonged to the Georges, of George- ville, Tennessee, my dear, a long line of gentlefolk. Aunt Debby George!” Sudden hideous doubt of her hero leaped into her mind, suc- ceeded by stark terror. IVas it Dave? It couldn’t be! He had really looked so honest! Hut then everybody knew you couldn’t depend on a man! And horrors! even if it were he, she couldn’t voice her suspicions for fear of being blamed for their loss. And Alice never would forget a thing like that. It would be all over the neighborhood before morning. “Oh-h!” she moaned to herself under cover of the general outcry that had broken out, “was ever a girl in such a fix as this!” Mrs. Rose was weeping and Mr. Rose was sternly question- ing Bud and Alice. “Aw, Dad,” Hud protested. “You know even if I wanted to play a joke, I wouldn’t have taken the silverware.” Alice merely sat and looked at Shirley with that peculiar penetrating gaze of the ten-year-old. “No, papa,” she answered meekly, “I never took ’em.” She was saying to herself, “Gee, ol’ Shirley looks funny. Wonder what’s up.” “Shirley,” said her father. Shirley jumped and looked at him, but here Hud broke in: “Dad, there’s no use putting us through this. I think the best thing to do would be to phone the police.” “All right with me,” Mr. Rose was relenting when his wife broke in. “Henry Rose, Junior, you’ll do no such thing!” Then more quietly, “I’m sure I’ll find them around the house somewhere, and there’s no sense bothering the police for nothing.” “Oh, all right. It’s all right with me.” And so the subject was dropped. Shirley’s confidence bounded back to normal. Of course, Dave was all right. The Forty-six January, 1929 The Spectrum spoons were around the house somewhere. No one could make her believe she couldn’t read human nature. Just the same, she waited anxiously for a message from Dave Robertson to say that, thanks to her, he had found work and was well on his way from rags to virtuous success. But no word came. Disappointed, then piqued, she mentally shrugged her shoul- ders and plunged into a whirl of activity. Graduation was coming and in the vanguard were photographs, dresses, an- nouncement cards and all the other things that go to make up the flurry of graduation from high school. She still held a little aloof from Bob, however, and he, puzzled by her attitude, forgot several dates with her. He had been working for his father since his graduation the term before and, though he came up to school after Shirley frequently, he was provokinglv reti- cent about any of Mr. Wallace’s employes. At last graduation night came, with Shirley seated on the flower-banked platform with seventy-five other unnaturally solemn about-to-be alumni. Suddenly, staring straight before her with a bored, world- weary gaze, her eyes widened in surprise. A little commotion had sprung up in the back of the auditorium and, at a sudden shifting of the crowd, a pair of gray eyes had blazed out at her for just a moment before they wTere hidden again. Her heart thrilled. Romance! He had come back to her. Just think of having a burglar for a boy friend. It was a new sensation. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Amelia Parker and pitied where once she had envied. Amelia had captured the captain of the football team. There was the presentation of the diplomas and then laugh- ing confusion and flowers and congratulations. Bob came up embarrassed but determined. “I wish you’d accept these flowers, Shirley. I thought they’d match your dress.” Dear old Bob! Shirley thanked him prettily while all the time she was on the lookout for a boy who had been a crook— but was now reformed—through her efforts. Almost time to go and still no Dave. Then quickly there came the thrilled accents of one of the little under-graduate girls at her elbow. “Oh, Shirley!” she cried breathlessly. “There was the best- looking man, and he said, ‘Do you know Shirley Rose?’ and I said ‘Yes!’ and he said, ‘Well, give her this.’ And here it is!” And she placed in the hands of the astonished Shirley a big box. Shirley opened it. Forty-seven The Spectrum January, 1929 It was filled with red carnations. “And me with an orchid frock!” Shirley thought, a trifle resentfully, and she looked with a little more favor on the bouquet of pale pink tea rosebuds Bob had given her. On top of the flowers there was an envelope. Shirley picked it up; then, though everyone was admiring the flowers, with- drew herself and her box a little apart in order to read the note. “Dear Miss Shirley (it began): “My wife and I want to thank you for the help you have given us, although I should prefer she would not find out in what way that help happened to be given. Our little son is now three weeks old, and some day when he is able to under- stand, I shall tell him of the gracious lady who aided me in a weak moment. “Beneath the flowers you will find returned the thirty dollars you so kindly lent me, also (and for this I ask your forgiveness) the six silver spoons which you no doubt have missed. I took them and meant to put them back after I met you, but lacked the moral courage to do so before you. “Ever your sincere servant, “David Robertson. “P.S. I am now working in the check room of Mr. Wallace’s overtown store, thanks to your kind recommendation.—D.R.” Shirley read the amazing missive over again, then again. Finally she murmured, half vexedly, to herself: “Well, of all things! Wouldn’t that melt your gum? Well —thank the powers that be for small favors—at any rate I’ve got the silverware back. Now the next task is to find some way of putting it back without anybody’s knowing. Believe me, I’m never going to let anybody know about this, much less his old wife. Anyway, that just proves what I’ve always said. You can’t depend on a man!” Except dear old Bob. “Bobbie, big boy!” she called over to where that youth was standing by himself looking just a little woe-begone and lonely. “Come here!” “Listen,” she whispered confidentially, “do you want to take me home?” His face lighted up. “Do I!” he exclaimed eloquently. “And how!” Forty-fight January, 1929 The Spectrum The Eyes of Satan Ralph Sharkey THE uncanny, warning finger of intuition touched him again, leaving him peculiarly uneasy. For nights past he had been warned by sheer intuition of some unseen danger, but each time he had cast off all fears and gone on about his business as if nothing had taken place. And again tonight, David Peery tried to convince himself that his imagi- nation was playing pranks, for what danger could there be? Hut the sense of danger exerted itself so strongly that David perforce turned around to make sure that no one was following him. I urning, he saw only indifferent Hindu natives going about their business as if he were the most insignificant creature on the street. However, David was not entirely assured and has- tened on toward the hotel with a feeling that the sooner he arrived at the hotel the better it would be for him. “Foolish of me to have worn this diamond—the prize of my collection!” he reproached himself upon entering the hotel. “It was a poor thing indeed to have displayed such a famous ring to the natives!” he repeated, sighing to himself with supreme relief to be able to mingle once more with people of his own race. “Glad you’ve come, sir!” exclaimed David’s valet, a look of relief upon his honest old face. “Ditto,” replied David, sighing wearily. “James, you may go to bed.” “Thank you, sir,” answered James, adding humbly, “I say, sir, now that you’ve completed the collection of Hindu antiques and jewelry, methinks we’d best get out of this vile place. India is no place for me, sir—too many snakes and dirty, crafty natives. Faith, they irritate me!” “We leave tomorrow—if nothing detains us; therefore let your liver rest in peace, James,” the young man answered, entering his own bedroom. He was more than glad to retire to the peace and security that his private room afforded. Hut immediately he sensed something exotic; it was a delicate aroma of perfume or incense. He did not remember ever having used such incense or perfume, and was a little puzzled. He confessed that his nerves were too sensitive that night. “Perhaps James decided to burn a little jasmine to clear the place of evil spirits,” David laughed, dismissing the thought from his mind. Yet his mind was not entirely at peace; he did not feel secure Forty-nine The Spectrum January, 1929 from this mysterious menace which seemed to he following him, and it was this unpleasant feeling that prompted him to take out his automatic. “Perhaps I had better get this thing in shooting order. James’ jasmine isn’t enough protection against these oily evil spirits.” He was amused at the thought, as he thankfully re- clined in the chair beside the reading lamp. With the gun yet in his hands, David assumed a comfortable position and, lighting his pipe, began to reflect on all that had taken place that evening. It amused him to acknowledge that he was gifted with a certain keenness of intuition, which always seemed to be ready to warn him of malignant activity and to tell him when he was threatened with danger of which he was not aware. His previous suspicions and premonitions began to assume a more definite shape; they had not been entirely un- founded, but probably had been exaggerated by the mysterious, almost forbidding atmosphere that seemed to prevail wherever he went in this Hindu city. He was satisfied that his diamond was the object of the sinister activity which he felt centering about him and was certain that an effort would soon be made to relieve him of his treasures of precious stones which he had just recently bought from a Hindu prince who lived in that city. He had thought it quite unnecessary to take the precau- tion of putting the jewels in the vaults of the bank, because he believed that only two persons besides himself knew of his purchase. With all these thoughts running through his mind, David dozed off to sleep in his chair. Not knowing how long he slept, he awoke in almost a nausea; the palms of his hands were moist, and his mouth dread- fully dry. He had dreamed an appalling dream of someone’s being subtly murdered and he had felt, in his dreams, the black, malignant eyes of a snake gazing upon him. Sudden fear seized him; his pulse quickened with the apprehension that he was in immediate danger; that some intangible menace was being focused on him. The skin of his face seemed to contract with a sudden chill; excitement stunned him, but he was supreme master of himself and waited in a strengthening calm for whatever might be evident. Vividly he saw the evil eyes of the snake, those eyes of which he had dreamed. He shrugged. There was a soft, scarcely discernible sound upon the carpet, yet David’s alert ears had heard. Leaping up with desperate courage to meet this unseen and not entirely unsuspected foe, David found, to his amazement. Fifty January, 1929 The Spectrum a cobra moving slowly toward him, its devilish eyes fixed upon him, watching every move of his body. “Those beastly eyes!” David cried, shooting the snake which had been lurking all this time in his room, stalking him as a lion does his prey. “The devil himself,” exclaimed the young man, smiling grimly at the attempt someone had made upon his life by using this deadly cobra. Turning away, David saw the door of his bedroom move; it was being opened stealthily, silently. He stood immobile, poising the gun, ready to confront this fresh antagonist. He had no fear; he was anxious to greet this new enemy and have done with the affair so he could go to bed—provided he were able to enjoy the comfort of sleep after having met this certain person behind the door. The door opened slowly, silently, ominously. David poised his good true automatic— The form of a man finally appeared ; James had thought it best to be cautious after hearing the shot in his master’s room. “David,” he exclaimed tremulously. “Faith, this is an eventful night. Really, I had my doubts as to finding you as healthy as 1 see you. I just had the pleasure of knocking out a native when he became too curious about the contents of my room. Relieve me, sir, I was waiting for the fellow—had a hunch something was up. Perhaps we had bet- ter dispose of him, sir!” “Yes, yes, James, we shall dispose of him. I know his pres- ence would disturb your beauty sleep,” David agreed, and then he burst out into laughter. The thrilling, almost absurd, event seemed to appeal to his sense of humor, or, perhaps, it was only the nervous reaction that comes with sudden relief and release from long-haunting fears. Now he was safe! He could sleep. Fijty-ons The Spectrum January, 1929 Winter Comes to the Ranch Dorothy McIntosh Che wind tore against the bunk house, piling the sharp snow against it in drifts. For a moment the blizzard died down, and in that brief instant of respite the eery howl of a wolf floated down from the range. The dark shadow of a man floundered through the drifted snow and fell into the bunkhouse. As he leaned heavily against the door to close it, he grinned at the “boys” and murmured: “Gawd help the poor sailors on a night like this.” The men looked up briefly from their various labors and smiled cheerfully at him. “ ’Lo, Bud,” they answered as one man, and then paid him no more attention. With a queer ache in his throat, Bud re- alized he had never seen a more home-like place. At one end of the long plank table the Smilin’ Kid was swearing softly over a game of solitaire. Next to him sat Billy Bowen, writing a letter to his girl in Blue Hat. He sat scrunched up in his chair, his tongue between his teeth, his pencil caught in a death grip between his fingers. Across from Billy, Bridget, the cook, was shaving a week’s stubble from his lean cheeks, twisting his face into the thousand and one grimaces affected bv men in shaving. Louie Wilson sat on his bunk, carefully darning a very holey sock and swearing dispassionately whenever he stuck the needle into his finger. Near Louie, on the only rocking chair the place boasted, sat Old Man Stevens, avidly reading a True Confessions Magazine. Chorus girls and night life in the big city had always appealed to the Old Man. Above him Bobby Wright lay on his back in the upper bunk, smoking and dreamily staring at the ceiling. Occasionally he knocked the ash from his cigarette down on the Old Man’s head with the pensive hope of starting a fight. In the corner, with his feet propped on the stove, Mexico Joe sat mending a harness and humming a tuneless song. Bud threw his hat at the wall hook and took off his coat. Outside, the storm might rage, but here was comfort—home. Fifty-two January, 1929 The Spectrum In Which We Disclose Witchcraft Erros Drews The other evening while we were reflecting on graduation and various kindred subjects, we made a discovery that we think should be presented to our fellow students because we believe it will simplify their lives a hundred-fold. The discovery is simply this: that there is, sitting somewhere in the background, watching us and controlling us, a magician whom, for want of a better name, we call Hi School. VVe have heard that magic has gone out of fashion. However, a magician is all we can call this fellow, Hi School. Witness the things he does to us. Four years ago we entered his sphere of influence and now that we are leaving it, we can look back and see what his spell has accomplished. We can remember how that fearful old wizard dazzled us, as Freshmen, with his display of school spirit and traditions and knowledge. He cast us into the vortex of a great whirlpool. We were dizzy with wonder at its vastness and, consequently, we felt and were quite dumb. By the time we were Sopho- mores that confusing spell had lost its power and he began a new incantation that set us to envying the lot of the learned upper-classmen and especially that of Seniors. The things we didn’t know overwhelmed us and our only refuge was in teasing those who knew even less than we did, the Freshmen, poor things! Next Professor Hi School tried an even more potent charm. He raised us to the rank of Juniors and credited us with actually having learned something. It quite went to our heads. We could look at Seniors without being struck blind and we even suspected at times, when our enchanter was busy charming the innocent Freshies, that Seniors were possibly just frauds. The magic continued. We became Seniors with such adjectives applied to us as mighty, dignified, learned and serious. We no longer suspected that there was anything fraudulent about Seniors. We were set apart and looked up to. Now, there is but one thing wTrong with being set on a pedestal, and that is that one is expected to be a good example. We can’t remember ever having seen a Senior that was a model of good conduct. Our patient teachers know how’ far short we fell. Yet to those worshipping under-classmen everything we did was tinctured with fitness and rightness. (At least we hope so.) Now that we are being graduated, we can recall other mani- festations of our magician’s powrer. Looking about, we have seen students roaming around, glassy-eyed and dull. They are the ones over whom he has whispered the magic formula: “Cantgetthis”, or “howihateit”. There are others who dash Fifty-three The Spectrum January, 192V around with a resolute and pugnacious set to their chins. Over those he has waved his wand, “Iwill”. Then there arc those who wear a desperate, worried expression and around whom he has woven the magic circle “Imustbuthow”. Next are those who seem unharassed and always gay. They carry the charm whose name is “whyworry”. There arc others who bear the talisman, “this-is-fun”. They never seem hurried or bothered, and their faces show enthusiasm and interest. We have disclosed our discovery of all this witchcraft so that those who are still under the spells cast by Professor Hi may try out these formulas for themselves. We advise a very simple ritual. Every time they see a textbook and every time they enter a classroom, they must simply mutter very slowly and with great intensity of feeling whatever charm they prefer. They will find, as we have, that the more frequently they repeat it the more binding will be the spell. Personally, we like to carry, as often as possible, the talisman “this-is-fun”.

As we are about to leave Jefferson, it is fitting that we spend a few moments in reflection upon the last four years of our high school career. Let us consider what it has meant and what it has failed to mean. It is said that the habits we form today are the habits we shall have to endure or to make useful in our later life. What are these but the components of our char- acter which make us a success or a failure? If this is so, it is worth while for each of us to take a mental check upon himself and to see how far he has measured up to his standard of accomplishment. We have all set a certain mark at Jefferson, collectively as a class and individually as a student. Has this mark been as high as you would wish it to be? Now we are ready to make another step forward either into the business world which accepts no excuses, or into an institu- tion of higher learning where more and more responsibility will be thrust upon us. If we can make this step, we shall be far on our way to success. If not, we shall have much revising to do. Let us hope that we go steadily forward. The Editor. Traditions Jefferson High School is known not only for its interscho- lastic prowess in sports and other competition, but also for its many well-founded traditions. When we think what the word tradition means to the average student, we are astounded to find that to many it is just another one of those items about which members of the faculty are always talking. Surely such is not the case. Let us look into the matter a little more thoroughly and see just exactly what tradition means to Jefferson and the students. Have you ever stopped to think why our halls and grounds arc kept so free from paper or why the general appearance of the building is so pleasing? Maybe you have never stopped to wonder about the attitude of the teacher and the pupil, or why our fire drills have so much snap and order. Jefferson’s traditions form the basis of these stan- dards. Jefferson’s athletic teams have been renowned for their fighting courage, their never-say-die spirit. Are these mere accidents? Maybe you have never felt the cooperation and harmony that exists between faculty and student body. Have you never thought of the Spectrum and the time and energy spent on it so willingly, or the open-hearted response to all calls for aid and help in cases of emergency? Why do you so seldom Fifty-six January, 1929 The Spectrum hear of cribbing in exams or other such practices? Through long years, Jefferson has been building up a set of traditions governing these relations. If we look back to our Freshman year, we can remember how we gradually absorbed these traditions with their spirit of fine sportsmanship. As the years passed, we learned more of the ideals of Jefferson. We learned to value these traditions and to realize that they embodied the finest principles of school and of life. So let us strive “breast forward” to be good examples for the coming Freshmen and to carry out every Jefferson tradition as small as it may be. —W. G. A Jefferson Alumnus Enjoys Life in China Among the Jefferson alumni who are accomplishing vital things in life and viewing it from its many angles is Leland Chapin, a graduate in the class of June, 1921. Mr. Chapin has just returned to Oregon after three years in China during which time he was a teacher in Lingnan University at Canton. He has returned for the purpose of doing graduate work in some American University after which he expects to return to China. His experiences in that great country of the East have been varied, ofttimes thrilling, always interesting. He has seen five revolutions in progress; twice he has been accosted by armed Chinese; he has adopted a Chinese lad, has eaten snake and dog meat and learned to enjoy it, has mingled with the people in their daily round of life, has become one with them, and still he thirsts for further and deeper acquaintance with this great empire of the Orient and its people. Leland Chapin declares that the compensation he has received for his teaching has not been in money but, rather, in the warm friendships he has formed among the Chinese students, in their patient, serious work, and their gratitude and appreciation of education. He has found the Chinese people a polite, patient, intelligent people. He looks forward to the time when their nation, once unified by a common language, better transporta- tion and a central government, shall be able to take its place among the world powers. The Editorial Staff wishes to express its appreciation for the generous manner in which the following people have given of their time and talent in making attractive the art work in the Class Spectrum: Ella Sampert, Elise Miller, Mable John- son, Hazel Kreiger, Louise Rhodes, Carrol Schroeder, Geral- dine Owen, Marguerite Dickey, Ella Amoth, Dorothy McIn- tosh, Phyllis Harding and Margaret Lindsay.

HOYS’ GYM LEADERS — CLASS PLAY CAST January, 1929 The Spectrum As Seen By Two Stagehands It was during the Christmas rush of 1938 in Portland that VVeslev Gregg, walking with lowered head against the biting wind, bumped into another man coming from the opposite direc- tion. “Well, you clumsy—! Where do you think you are going?” yelped Wesley without looking up. “This is a free country, isn’t it?” “What! Why, if it isn’t my old friend Parker himself! Where have you been all these ten years? “Well, if it isn’t Wesley Gregg! It certainly seems good to see an old Jeffersonian again. Do you know that near this time each year I think about the old grads, the school, the graduation exercises, and—say, do you remember that Class Play, ‘The Patsy’?” “Do I ? Do you remember how the old people at the poor farm laughed when Jimmy Newgard (the father) showed Kathryn McBride (the mother) who was the head of that family?” “And do you remember Miss Greathouse, the good old standby, who made our plays successful?” “Well, I should say so. And Ralph, you know, Ralph Waistrom. What a time she had with him in the love scenes, and then on the final night! Oh, boy, how he did act! “And Olga as ‘the Patsy’! You couldn’t forget her. The folks were almost ready to climb on the stage and help her . � � out. “I haven’t forgotten Katherine Frieze, the older sister, and Grant Stones as Billy Caldwell, either. What a pair they did make! And say, bv the way, have you heard from Grant lately?” “Yes, I saw him recently. You know Margaret Hickey who played the part of Sadie Buchanon so well. Grant met her the other day and he said she was just the same Margaret that she was ten years ago.” “And do you remember Rudolph Aho as Mr. O Maherty: Don’t forget me, either, as doorbell ringer, as the auto horn, as the taxi driver and as a dozen other miscellaneous parts. “Don’t worry. I’ll never be able to forget the old bunch, and especially that play.” “Whew! Ed, it’s nearly six o’clock. How the missis will rave when I get home late for supper. However, I guess it won’t be so bad after I tell her that I met an old Jeffersonian.” Ninfty-thrtr The Spectrum January, 1929 PI DELTA EPSILON President....................Eldon Davis Secretary...................John Franzwa Vice-President...........Ralph Walstrom Treasurer.................Robert Stevens Sergeant-at-Arms...........Robert Weller This term has been very successful for the Pi Delts. Under the capable guidance of our president, Eldon Davis, and our adviser, Mr. Purcell, we set out to make this season a different and a better one and we feel that we have succeeded. 1 he Pi Delta-Zeta get-together at Frances Bailey’s home was well attended. Several alumni, all formerly prominent in the Pi Delts and Zetas, were also present. Several Christmas baskets were distributed to the needy. We regret that we will have to continue our work next term without the following members, who will be graduated: Arthur Anderson, treasurer, fall ’27; Jack Cate, Bus Prendergast, Robert Stevens, treasurer, fall ’28; Grant Stones, LeRoy rhomas, Ralph Walstrom, vice-president, fall ’28; Russell Woodward, sergeant-at-arms, spring ’28; Rudolph Aho and Edward Halseth.

LATIN CLUB Boy Counsel......Russell Nielsen Girl Counsel................Alice Benton Aed,lc Ruth Frazier Quaestor...................Edward Parker Fictor............Arthur Anderson 1 he Latin Club has had a very successful term. The many and varied programs have made us realize the value of Latin not only to students but also to business men and women.

A sextet of girls including Lydia Marks, Charlotte Brennan, Olga Eble, Catherine Bourhill, Mary Derrick and Mary Evelyn Caldwell entertained one evening at the . M. C. A. Both the Boys’ and the Girls’ Glee Clubs played an important part in the Freshman Reception. 1 he Senior Girls Glee Club gave a Schubert program November 26, in the auditorium, in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the com- poser’s death. The Senior Girls sang “Who Is Sylvia ; Mary Derrick sang Schubert’s Serenade, and Evelyn Marks gave a short talk on his works. In conclusion, Schubert s Song of Love” was sung twice; first by Lydia Marks and then by the student body. Catherine Bourhill, Secretary.

This gave further encouragement to the future artists and advertisers of Jefferson as well as a good topic for discussion at our meetings. Later Air. Bishop, the editorial cartoonist for the Oregon Journal, gave an interesting talk and illustrations and examples of his work. We shall be sorry to see our Seniors leave the club, but we know that they will succeed in the future. Those graduating are Louise Rhodes and Elise Miller. Margaret Reopelle, Secretary. One Hundred One The Spectrum January, 1929 Assemblies Our four years at Jefferson have left us many memories, some inspiring, some amusing and all pleasant. The assem- blies have furnished many of these recollections. The first assembly of all was to us, then timid Freshies, a strange and exciting experience. The subject of the assembly is long forgotten, hut the feeling of being at last a part of Jefferson has never disappeared. Through the four long years, we have heard many inspiring speeches, urging us to keep ourselves “physically strong, men- tally awake and morally straight”. 'Fhe approval that such addresses receive is proof that the students of Jefferson still hold to the high ideals of the past. Then, too, speakers have told us of far-away places, some outside of our country, others within our boundaries. Some of the most notable were the motion pictures of Hawaii, pre- sented by Mr. Hall of the Matson Navigation Company; and the two speeches by Mr. Flower of Stratford-on-Avon, in which he told us of Shakespeare and the memorial to him. As loyal Jeffersonians, we have often heard and answered the pleas for support of local activities. Holidays, also, are occasions on which are presented to us messages of lasting inspiration. Perhaps the most enjoyable of our many assemblies are those at which nationally known artists have entertained us. Who will soon forget our fellow-Jeffersonians, the Patton boys? The students will also remember for many years the engaging personality of Leo Carrillo and will consider him a personal friend. The best assemblies of all are those in which only our “home talent” appears. The term, the organization, and the Christmas holiday assemblies show us what abilities lie in our friends and who may be the future artists of the country. The term-end assemblies, with the awards for scholarship and athletics, once more bring clearly to our minds the high standards of Jefferson and urge us “to climb though the rocks be rugged” to attain those heights. Indeed, through the assemblies at Jefferson, Mr. Jenkins and the visitors have helped us to a better appreciation of the good things of life. One Hundred Two January, 1929 The Spectrum Athletics During the four years spent by the January, 1929, class at Jefferson, many excellent athletic teams have been turned out. Needless to say, it would be very difficult to state just how many cups and championships have been won by our teams on the athletic field in the last four years. In the spring of ’25, the first year of January ’29’s career, the basketball season was not very successful although the team was noted for its fighting spirit. The baseball team of that year was a very good one, and it placed high in the list. Al- though the track team of the spring of ’25 lost the championship of the track and field meet for the first time in nine years, they won the relay carnival, a fact which made up for the loss of the interscholastic championship. Jefferson’s football team started out the next year with the idea of making it a banner year, and they were well rewarded for their troubles. Defeating their old rival, Washington, by the narrow margin of 3-0, they continued their winning streak until the much-desired Oregonian trophy was placed in our own library, the first time in six years. The track team in the spring of ’26 won the relay carnival for the second time in succession, while the girls were doing their part in bringing the girls’ golf championship back to Jef- ferson. 'Fhe track team brought more glory to Jefferson by winning the track and field meet from Washington by a few points for the second time in succession. Although later this championship was forfeited to Washington on account of an ineligible man running for the team, the glory of that meet was not forgotten. To end the season, the baseball team added another cup to the growing number in the library by again defeating Washington for the championship of the league. Due to the loss of most of our experienced men, the football team of that fall was able to break into the win column only three times. Although the basketball season was an absolute failure as far as winning games was concerned, the team showed plenty of spirit and fight. The track team came through in fine shape by winning the relay carnival again and placing third in the track and field meet. For the first time in eight years, the boys’ golf team, competing with talented opposition, won the championship cup. In the fall of ’27 Jefferson had one of the best defensive football teams in the league. Due to this fact, only a few opposing teams were able to score. Although the team did not stand so high in the league, due to many ties, still the One Hundred Three January, 1929 The Spectrum season was very successful. I he soccer team, after tying Ben- son for the championship, lost in the deciding game by the score of 5-0. The basketball team finally won a few games after losing many exciting ones by one or two points. I he track team for this season developed many stars, but the team did not seem able to get started in the track meets. The boys’ golf team again won the championship for the second time in succession. In our last year the Jefferson baseball team ended the season with promise of having a championship team for the next ear, since most of the players will be back. In track, we placed fifth in the meet, but this was due mainly to a “green” team. With the spirit aroused by a new football coach at Jefferson, we can look forward to a promising future in this sport. One Hundred Four Humor In Defense of Chewing Gum Howard Ritter, W. P. THINGS were pretty dull on Mt. Olympus. All that the Gods could do was to eat, sleep and hold beauty con- tests. Finally the golden apple turned out to be iron pyrites and the Olympic Beauty Contest Corporation went to the wall. The Gods ate and drank until Juno had to purchase six Nubian slaves to carry her around, and then Jupiter called a special session of congress. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began. “ 1 he situation is ex- tremely serious. We have all taken on so much weight that the mountain has settled three feet. In time to come, if this depression continues, the ocean will cover the spot where we are assembled. Something must be done.” “Nothing simpler,” spoke up Mercury. “Let s hold a cooking contest.” The discussion waxed loud and long but Mercury’s sugges- tion was adopted, and the Olympic Cooking Contest Company was formed. The Gods immediately set to work. Venus drilled holes in the moon and made green cheese. Juno condensed part of the milky way into ice cream. Apollo invented the Sunkist orange. All were hard at work except Mars, who was fast asleep. Mars woke up after a while, blew off the top of the mountain, and then set to work, too. He was a lazy sort of fellow, so he merely dumped some nectar and ambrosia into a big iron kettle, set it on the stove, and went back to sleep again. He awoke four days later to find that his concoction had almost boiled dry, but Mars blew out the gas, stuck a four-gallon ladle into the seething mass and tasted it. It was sticky; in fact, it was so sticky that it was three hours before Mars could pry his jaws apart. But was it good? This wonderful invention tasted a hundred times better than the nectar and ambrosia of which it was made. Mars grinned with satisfaction. He cut the substance into thin strips, wrapped them in palm leaves and when the eventful day rolled around, he, with a triumphant flourish, handed each of the judges a stick. The judges retired One Hundred Five The Spectrum January, 1929 and when they returned, each was chewing vigorously, and each wore a look of supreme joy. “Ladies and gentlemen,” began Jupiter, “we find that this wonderful invention of this worthy lad, Mars, has won first place in the first annual Olympic Cooking Contest, and, if Mars will kindly step up to the platform, I shall be delighted to present him this pearl-handled potato masher. By the way, my boy, what is the name of this wonderful substance?” The substance hadn’t a name, and for the first time in his life, Mars thought fast. Now this child of Mars’ brain was made of nectar and am- brosia, and the Olympic name for nectar is grulfr, and for ambrosia it is Ulstrw Mzkdfx, so Mars combined the first letters of each word into a name for his concoction. ‘‘Friends, he said, “although I have labored for several months to perfect this boon to humanity, I feel that my efforts have been more than rewarded. I have done something to provide for the future happiness of the human race. And since you are all so interested in me and the results of my labors, I will not keep you in suspense any longer. The name is simply Gum.” So chewing-gum was born. The formula has been handed down from generation to generation, constantly being improved upon, until we have the wonderful brand of gum which the school children chew today. There is nothing that gives quite so much exquisite joy as a piece of chewing gum. How wonder- ful it is to taste the sugary liquid oozing between one’s teeth and trickling down one’s throat. Children cry for it. Four out of five of the children of the United States today have a piece of gum in their mouths 99 44 100% of the time. Gum helps digestion, sweetens the breath, and stops pyorrhea at the danger line. There is even strong evidence to support the assumption that judicious use of chewing gum raises fallen arches. In the American schools today the pupils are required to take calisthenics. I he powers-that-be are very careful that the child s body receives the proper amount of exercise. They train his mind. I eachers are paid for that purpose. Every- thing about a student receives special attention except his jaws. True, he opens his mouth now and then to allow food to enter, and, in rare instances, to recite. But the science of modern cookery has reduced eating to a mere form and recitations have dwindled down to the words, “I don’t know”, so it is plain that something drastic must be done. It is predicted that in One Hundred Six January, 1929 The Spectrum future centuries, if some change is not brought about now, man’s jaws will be worked by strings. The easiest and simplest way would be to render chewing gum compulsory. The child’s jaws would involuntarily move up and down, thereby satisfying his desire for sweets and giving him healthful exercise. In the words of that eminent dietician, William Wrigley, “A chew a day keeps the undertaker away”. The ancients made a much greater use of gum than we do today. The Babylonians founded their empire on it. Rome fell only because the supply of chicle from India was cut off by the Turks. Scientists are certain that the serpent tempted Eve, not with an apple, but with a stick of chewing gum. But why must such an innocent, even helpful pastime be so persecuted? When little Johnny comes to school with a wad of gum between his molars, why must his teacher sternly oidei him to deposit it in the receptacle for waste paper ? Both from a legal and from a moral standpoint the teacher should not. She has no legal right to take a child’s gum from him any more than she can take away his books. And should a teacher take from a child that which helps his physical de- velopment so much? Absolutely not! Therefore, in view of these facts, it is the duty of every man, woman and child throughout the length and breadth of this fair land to join the movement in the defense of chewing gum. Sticks Ruth Frazier In this busy world there are many kind of sticks which man observes in his busy round of duty. There are candy sticks to eat and chopsticks with which to eat. There is the good old drumstick (preferably not so old) that adorns the festive bowl on Thanksgiving Day, and the other type of drumstick that brings a lift to the head and shoulders, a step of rhythm to the feet, and music to the soul. The fortunate carry walking sticks, and crutch sticks carry the unfortunate. The profes- sional man is proud of his golf sticks with which he plays foi fame and slenderness. And not to be forgotten is the birch stick wielded by Ichabod Crane and his professional descendants. 'Fhe kinds of sticks used when the would-be fashionable girl goes to the opera arc bright red rouge sticks and manicure nail sticks of ebony and rosewood. Next comes the “big stick , the one made famous by Theodore Roosevelt, wielded against ()nr Hundred S tvrr The Spectrum January, 1929 big business in legislative endeavor, and the other carried by the Irishman to banish ghosts. There is, also, the broomstick that does its daily household dozen and figures in the act of driving irate agents and beggars from the back door, and the one over which the housemaid jumps in hasty matrimony. Last, but not least, is the river Styx, from whose other shore mortals never return. An Episode in the Private Life of Cicero Edward Parker and Arthur Anderson CHARACTERS Characters: Cicero Terentia Pom pe y Tullia 'Liro I lace: I he place is the same for all three scenes, which are laid in Cicero’s office in his home. SCENE I Terentia: That is really the straight of it, my dear Marcus. Cicero: How interesting. So that’s the truth about them. Well, it’s taken a long time to come out. I er. es, now my dear husband, what I really want is some money. Cic. (springing up) What? Money? Ter. Yes; money. Cic. Rut 1 gave you five hundred denarrii yesterday. ler. Yes, but Tullia’s coming out has taken all that. Cic. Zeus! Heracles! You women must think I’m made of money. Even if I am the best criminal lawyer in Rome, I’m not Crassus! Ter. (Calmly) Don’t get excited, love; I’m sure you’ll have all I need. Cic. (Mollified) Oh! yes, I suppose so (draws tablets to him). How much do you want? l er. Well, with all the banquets and everything we’ve been giving—about a thousand denarrii. Cic. Is that all? Oh, well, since you really need it, here is an order on Flavius (gives tablet). Ter. Thanks, Marcus, this will help a lot. Vale (goes out). Cic. Well, that leaves me pretty flat, but I guess I can manage. Ont Hundred Eight January, 929 The Spectrum Tiro: Most noble master, Tullia desires to see you. Cic. Show her in. Tullia: Hello, father (boredly). Cic. Hello, dear. What do you want? Tul. Father, I just want some money. Cic. (Jumping up) Money! Money! Money! Great Zeus! I gave you a hundred denarrii this morning. What did you do with it? Tul. Oh, I had my hair dressed and then I went to Livia’s to throw dice. Cic. (Thundering) Girl, did you gamble? Tul. Yes. Cic. (Pacing up and down) With whom? Tul. The usual crowd. Cic. (Angrily) I want to know them. Tul. With Catilina and Flavia and Lentelus and Livia. Cic. Haven’t I told you not to go with that wild crowd? Tul. Hut everybody does. Cic. (Furiously) Everybody! I don’t care what everybody does!! You keep away from that crowd. Tul. Yes, daddy. Can I have some money? Cic. Yes. Here’s a hundred denarrii. Now don’t ask me for any more till the next Kalends. Tul. All right, daddy, I’ll remember (goes out). Cic. Thank Heracles that’s over; I’m about strapped. Tiro. Sir, the moneylender, Isaac, wishes to see you. Cic. That bum! Find out what he wants. Tiro (goes out and returns) He just wanted to tell you that the note you gave him is due on the next Kalends. Cic. Tell him I remember. Give him my regards. Tiro Yes, sir (goes out). Cic. O tempora! O mores! What will I do? (counts money) One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hun- dred—four hundred denarrii and Flavius owes me two thou- sand, but that’s not due till the Ides. What will I do? Tiro Pompieus Magnus. Cic. Show him in. Pom. My dear Marcus. Cic. My dear Gnaius. Pom. How are you? Cic. Fairly well, only rather short of money. Pom. Maybe I can help you. Cic. How? Pom. I’ll tell you later; come now, tell me about this money trouble. One Hundred Nine The Spectrum January, 1929 Cic. Well, it’s like this: I haven’t had a case in two months, and I’m rather flat. Pom. I see, what else is the matter? Cic. My wife and my daughter are after me for money and Isaac has one of my notes due on the next Kalends. Pom. I’ll arrest him if you want me to. Cic. No, I’d rather you wouldn’t. By the way, what do you think of Catiline? Pom. He’s a scoundrel all right, but a clever one. Cic. I think so. Pom. Now if you don’t mind, I’ll get down to business. Cic. (calls) Tiro! Tiro (comes in) Here, my lord. Cic. Close the door and clear the passage. Tiro Yes, my lord (goes out). Cic. Now what? orn. ou know that Glabrio is incompetent and will be withdrawn from command of the East soon? Cic. No! om. es, and Crassus tells me there is great wealth in those Eastern countries. Cic. Is that so? Pom. Yes. Now what I want you to do is this: Make a speech from the rostra favoring me, and I will give vou ten thousand denarrii. Cic. (Joy fully) Surely, I agree. Pom. Wait; if the speech succeeds 1 will give vou fifteen thousand— Cic. (Interrupting) Pompey, this will save mv life! Pom. Wait. There is still more. Besides the money, I will give you a villa at Heraculeum and a twentieth share in the spoils. (jic. () Jupiter! Was ever man so generous? Pom I have come to you because I think you will succeed. Remember, ten thousand for the speech, fifteen thousand if you succeed, and besides the money, the villa and the share in the spoils. Cic. I will do my best. Pom. Very well. Here are five thousand to bind the bar- gain (goes out). Cic. Vale. Pom. Vale. Lie. (to himself) How can a man keep out of politics, I’d like to know? ell, I’ve got enough to meet that note. One Hundred Ten January, 1929 The Spectrum A Boxing Match Allie Kemp Entellus, many long years ago, Boxed with Dares, a youth so hold. Now listen closely and I will tell What the Latin8 students know so well. With the ringing of the bell the fight began. And Dares the fleet about Entellus ran. He flung swift blows around the head; Entellus felt them not, ’tis said. He planted his feet upon the land, And firm as a rock did take his stand. He aimed a blow with all his might, But Dares dodged that wicked right. With the force of the blow, he fell to the ground, And he gave a muttering, groaning sound; Hoping and praying not for defeat, His second helped him to his feet. In anger he chased Dares round the ring. Like bullets his blows thro’ the air did zing. Exhausted was Dares, and all tired out; He wished, alas, for the end of the bout. Aeneas in pity made an end to the fight. Declaring Entellus victor by right. Dares was helped to his ship by friends, Hoping, in time, his wounds to mend. Now this is the story that I have told, Of a match which took place in the days of old. The Latin8 students know it well. Ask Miss Campbell, for she can tell! One Hundred Eleven e a ?
