Thirty January, 1930 The Spectrum Class Prophecy J XCERPTS from the diary of Dale S. Brown on board the dirigible S. S. Democrat in the fall of 1950 after having circumnavigated the globe. July 1.—Aboard the S. S. Democrat. We took off from Lakehurst, New Jersey, this A. M. I found out today from my secretary, Miss Ruth Cunningham, that this ship, which is the latest thing in aeronautical achievement, was con- structed by the internationally famous designers, Finlay McGuire, Incorporated. July 4.—New York, New York. We spent this most ex- citing day in New York City. On our way to Coney Island, we met Raymond Platts who, standing on a reinforced soap box, was delivering an oration on the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Approaching the entrance of the amusement park, we perceived Verl Stockdale, who was loudly proclaiming that “Maxwell House Coffee is good to the last drop.” (We wondered what was wrong with the last drop). We soon grew tired of the amusements and returned to the hotel. Before we left the city, I had to have some dental work done and was delighted to find Gwendolyn Stuart, the assistant to the dentist. July 5.—New York City. While breakfasting at the hotel, we were surprised to find Louis Wick as head waiter. We spent the morning in climbing the Statute of Liberty. Our able guide was none other than Harold Hendrickson. We lunched at the Golden Pitcher, where Grace Swanson was acting as hostess. Being informed by my secretary that her supply of hair- pins was exhausted, we climbed into a rocket plane and flew to the roof of the largest and most beautiful building in the world, the Wanamaker building, which was designed by Holman Smith. Muriel Conner was the interior decorator of this building. We then returned to the hotel for a short rest before leaving for the airport. After a short delay, due to the failure of the ground crew properly to change the batteries, we took off at midnight for Dublin. Ireland. Thirty-One The Spectrum January, 1930 July 6.—Sunday. Aboard the S. S. Democrat. Devotional services were conducted ibis morning by the ship’s chaplin, the Reverend James Lambert. We spent the rest of the day reading. July 8.—Dublin, Ireland. We landed in Dublin, finding Clifford Gibson in charge of the airport there. We motored to the hotel where we found Renabel Coryell holding the po- sition of chief telephone operator. She told us that there were a number of old classmates in Ireland. Milton Nudel- man was an established dentist, filling cavities and building bridges which were known throughout Ireland. Glen Blakely was teaching in the Hibernian Academy of Painting. He is especially known for his painting of Titian-hared Beauties. Evelyn Bainter had tried to teach, but the Irish children had asked her so many questions that she resigned and was telling bedtime stories over the radio where she wouldn’t be inter- rupted. Thelma Hotz, after completing her education as a henna specialist, has returned to her home in Ireland, but has gone completely out of business because of lack of demand. Kathryn Mahone was in Dublin studying Irish jigs. We left Dublin at twelve o’clock for London, England. July 9.—London, England. We were met at the Croydon Airport by a London Times reporter, Edward Schlesser. In the afternoon he conducted us to the office of the London Times, where we met many old Jeffersonians. The paper was edited by Bob Weller. Among those of his staff were Alyce Bachelder, private secretary; Ruth Randall, society editor, and Marian Ward, assistant sports editor. Mary Kopczak, Elizabeth Healy, and Teresa Donovan were stenographers. Upon visiting the Wesleyan Normal College at Westmin- ster we found that Marjorie Robertson was a prominent teacher there. July 15.—Paris, France. Visited the Edith Toby Art Studio. We found Edith busy at work with Olive Hunt as model; Marian Erickson was the secretary of the studio. In the evening we visited the Grand Imperial Theatre, where we found our Ben Briggs as sound technician. July 25.—Rome, Italy. Passing through the city on an observation tour, we heard a familiar voice coming from a music studio. Upon inquiring, we found Edward Root ac- companied by Virginia Patch, practicing for the Neapolitan Opera. Stopping in the American Embassy, we found Sam Eggiman as United States Ambassador to Italy. July 30.—Cairo, Egypt. Here we were interested in the large reclamation project which was being supervised by Mark Thirty-Two January, 1930 The Spectrum Hathaway. The American Mission in Egypt was conducted by Alleia McMillan and Elsie Neikes. The Missionary build- ing was protected from fire through the able efforts of Jud Yoho, fire chief. August 7.—Hongkong, China. We were met at the airport by a fleet of airplanes built at Edsel Ford’s district plant under the supervision of Milton Dietz. Milton was proud of the fact that he had been able to use many of his former classmates as his department heads. Margaret Matzka was a very efficient advertising manager. Graeme Campbell dis- played remarkable ability as production manager, and Miriam McCrea was his efficient secretary. Julian Gerber daily risked his life, while testing new planes. August 18.—Portland. Oregon, U. S. A. Home again! Edward Golick persuaded us to stay at his new Portland Hotel. We decided to spend our first day at our old high school, which has been rebuilt and is now the pride of Port- land. The first person we met upon our entrance was Alma Kinnunen, who is acting as head of the English department. She informed us that several of our old classmates were teachers there. Donald McLennen was directing the famous Jefferson band, Florence Killer was teaching dramatics, and Herbert Holl was the football coach. He has turned out championship teams for the last ten years, and in 1942 his team won the I. S. championship. Frances Brennan is teach- ing a class in Beauty Culture. That evening we went to the DeLuxe Theatre and saw Virginia Wallace and her Synco- pating Sisters, Sylvia Lonergan, Frances Clark, Marie Vogel, Iris Morton, Vivian Hansen and Mary Jane McPherson. On the same program Madeline Duncan was a blue singer. After the theatre we enjoyed an interesting radio program. Flor- ence Driver was the announcer, with Gertrude Granville and Alva Staver were singers, accompanied by Genevieve McCon- nell. Lenore Janin’s children formed a trio that was very musical and harmonizing. August 19.—The trip is really over. What an experience it has been! The most wonderful part of all was the renewing of old high school friendships. That old class of Januarv ’30 has surely carried the fame of Jefferson abroad to the four corners of the globe. Signed: Wilma Conwell Russell Belzek Carvel Amell Donna Watson Thirty-Three The Spectrum January, 1930 The President’s Farewell JT SEEMS hut a short time ago that we Seniors first began our high school course here at Jefferson. As Freshmen we had no realization of what our course really had in store for us. Perhaps we were even a little fearful as to what those next four years would bring forth. Then with our cordial welcome into the student life of JefTerson our interest in our school and its activities increased more and more. We caught that school spirit which Jefferson’s high standards and old traditions have so ably produced. Soon we began to realize how very important a background our high school days were giving us. Now, as we look hack upon these last four years, we find that our time here has been both pleasing and profit- able, and that we shall he reluctant to hid this great school good-bye. We realize now that a high school education is made up of many things other than everyday lessons. Our membership in the various student organizations has given us most valu- able training in the knowledge of association and leadership. Jefferson’s athletics have brought before our eyes the true meaning of sportsmanship. Our faculty, in the course of regular assignment, has emphasized diligence and self-re- liance, and through the ideals and high standards of Jeffer- son has stressed the importance of fine personal conduct. We see then that all these factors blend together to form the background and the basis upon which we shall later on place the foundation of our life’s work. We of the January Class of 1930 are extremely thankful, therefore, that we had the opportunity to attend this great school. We shall always remember Jefferson’s high ideals and the standards that make her so outstanding, and shall forever hold dear the memories of our days here.

Lazy students, You will be next! Wake up! Proud world, You know what to expect. Come up! Glowing sun, Liven us with your rays Be careful! Business leaders. Watch the following days; We will keep you on the run For ours is a rising, not a setting sun. Thirty-Seven ■ il The Spectrum January, 1930 Thirty-Eight CLASS PLAY CAST Literary January, 1930 The Spectrum A Letter Written in 3500 A. D. Dear Zak: Say, old man, how are you? Kind of lonesome out there on your little old planet, all by yourself? The other day I was rummaging through those old ruins that we used to play in when we were kids. Remember them? Well, over in that one corner that was so dark—where we would never venture to go—I found a magazine! Truly remarkable. And what’s more, part of it is legible! All I can get out of the first part is that it is some sort of a paper put out by a group of young people. They call themselves “students of Jefferson High School.” And then that it was published in 1930! Nothing short of remarkable, is it? Fancy finding such a thing as that in the place where we used to play! The rest of the pages are all so yellow and rotted away that 1 can’t find anything I can read until near the middle. There it seems that there is an article about some drama that they had given. All I can get out of the introduction is that it is from the viewpoint of a stage-hand. This is the way it reads: “And Wilbur—remember him? 1 never saw a grouchier dad in all my life—but what a sport he turned out to be! “Yes, and don’t forget Leona. Do you remember that we said she was Jefferson’s rival for Ethel Barrymore? She surely was splendid. “And do you remember the way Eddie Sell lesser went around there with a pipe in his mouth—before the first act, but boy—when it came to that cold scene—he couldn’t be beaten!” Then there’s a little bit 1 can’t read, and the story changes a little—it talks about the stage hands for a while. This is that part. “Gee, we sure have to thank Hud Bernie for giving us such wonderful help—why, without him he never could have got those scenes changed! That certainly was a tough job. “Yes, and remember that Bud didn’t even belong to our class. That surely was white of him. Thirty-Nine The Spectrum January, 1930 “But don’t forget the other stage-hands. There was Walter Gerber, and Don McLennan. And then Bill Martin did all the curtain-pulling. And Verl Stockdale hung around a lot—I don’t remember whether he did anything or not. “That certainly was a keen class play, wasn’t it? And to think-----” Here some mice must have eaten away the page—it’s all torn. I have just gone back to the beginning, and 1 can make out some more: “What would we have done without Miss Greathouse? She was absolutely indispensible—to quote from the play, itself: “Say, wasn’t Marguerite darling in her part? She just seemed to be made for it. You remember, she was the flirty one that was engaged to Tom Bates at first.” It says something here about a tall, graceful Louise. “She registered sophistication to the last degree, and she wrore beautiful clothes, and how she wore them! Of course she played her part perfectly, including all the osculating scenes.” “And then, there was Sam—he was perfect! 1 never laughed so hard in my life as I did when he first came out on the stage in those ministerial clothes—and then to come in again and again and ask for subscriptions! I nearly burst! “Do you remember Howard Uetz, that tall boy with the red hair? And how he got teased about that red hair! But he was perfect in his part! A renowned tight-wad. It was a scream. “For heaven’s sakes—don’t forget the butler! That was Ed Root—didn’t he just fit the part? In that suit—and with grey hair—his own mother hardly knew him! “And Jud and Hilding—the leading men! The whole play would have been a flop without them! They were the ones that did all the sweeping with the ‘New' Brooms.’ “Evelyn Bainter, the housekeeper, who said good-bye to Wilbur in the sweetest of tempers. That girl surely knows how' and when to have a temper.” Then there is something about a Raymond Platts: •That boy surely knew how to sell his oil stock. He was a whiz. And nothing seemed to bother him; he just walked right in and took Tom’s girl away from him like nobody’s business! “Do you remember Ben Briggs as Mr. Bate’s best friend? He was certainly good—the exact opposite of Mr. Bates.” Forty January, 1930 The Spectrum “And last but by no means least—we thank Miss Labor for all the wonderful work she did—and Miss Bergsvick and Mrs. Gay. They were all too wonderful for words!” It was quite a find—wasn’t it? They finished the article with a hit about the wonderful class-play — and something about a prize—I don’t know exactly what. The article was evidently written at some supposed future date, hut it cer- tainly was clever. I wish that I could go hack into that time and see just such a thing for myself—well, we had best let things he. Good-bye, Zak, he sure to write to me and tell me all about that excavating you are doing up there. I'll save the magazine for you, so that you can see it when you come down. Your friend on earth, METH. HE original Oregon Pioneers were a class of remarkable men, whose work has been accomplished and whose dis- tinctive personality has either been gathered with the fleeting ghosts of the past, or is today met with in rare cases of in- dividual survival—like the bison, whose herds the rifles of these pioneers helped to extinguish. Harvey Scott o © © rp() whatever height we may carry human knowledge, 1 hope we shall never forget those energetic and enterprising men who met the difficulty in its rudest shape. Sydney Smith Forty-Ont The Spectrum January, 1930 The Record of January Class of 1930 QN JANUARY 28, 1929, the pioneers of the Jan. ’30 Class started out to discover new fields. In our Senior year, we hope that we have lived up to the ideals of Jefferson and perhaps added something to her history and glory. At our first class meetings, held on February 20 and 22. we became an organized senior class by electing Dale Brown president, Nancy Suomela, vice president; Gladys Ernest, sec- retary; Wilbur Thibault, treasurer, and Ben Briggs, sergeant- at-arms. The class met at a get-together on March 15 at which we grew to know more intimately our fellow classmen. We chose for our class colors, blue and silver, which we proudly displayed with our class pins on April 2, and were duly recognized and congratulated by the June Class. “Old Ironsides,” our first class movie, was successfully presented on April 5. On the evening of April 19, the June Class entertained us at a traditional June-January dance. September 11 marked the beginning of our last term at Jefferson, and on this date, we, mighty Seniors, elected officers for our Class Spectrum. These were: Donald Finlay, editor, and Edris Rogers, associate editor. “The Legion of the Condemned” was the feature shown at our second class movie on September 27. We held a reception for the Freshmen on October 11, and wore our banners of congratulation to the June Class on November 15. On November 22 and 23, we presented our class play, the celebrated “New Brooms” and, we believe, thereby estab- lished a new high mark in the history of Class Plays. We entertained on November 27 with a dance honoring the June Class. We began then to realize that the ending of our high school careers was near. Looking forward, we find there are left only our Senior Assembly, Commencement, and Senior Prom. We feel a little sadness, as well as pride in our achievement, as we realize that our high school days are over. However, we remember our chosen motto: ‘ Ours is a rising, and not a setting sun.” Forty‘Two January, 1930 The Spectrum A Chance Acquaintance Lily Larson Ray Halsey and I, Bob Davis, were standing on Broadway and Stark waiting for an outbound car. Our attention was suddenly drawn to a large Lincoln which stopped directly be- fore us while waiting for the signal “to go.” What interested us chiefly was the fact that a young, beautiful woman was seated beside a man who apparently was the chauffeur. She was a gorgeous creature, expensively dressed. From beneath a small, tight-fitting hat her hair shone like gold: her blue eyes sparkled gaily, and her full red lips were parted in a bright smile. She wore a beautiful and luxuriant fur coat. Indeed, she made a lovely picture. To our astonishment this beautiful being turned to us, smiled and said. “You boys are strangers in the city, are you not?” When we replied that we were, she continued, “I thought so because people waiting for outbound cars do not stand on this corner. However, as I’m going your way, perhaps I can give you a lift.” Ray promptly pleaded an engagement, but I, poor fool that I was, remained dumbfounded. Taking my silence as acceptance, she opened the door and motioned for me to enter. Obediently I did so, and the car moved on. After several blocks of silent riding. Miss Helman, my benefactress, turned and asked if I were in a hurry. Upon being assured that 1 was not. Miss Helman suggested that she showr me the city. Eagerly 1 assented and soon 1 found myself on Council Crest from where one has an excellent view of the entire city. On our way back some papers blew from the front seat back to me, but. as I stooped to pick them up, my hostess told me not to bother with them. However, I picked them up and stuffed them into my overcoat pocket, intending to give them to her later. We continued on our sight-seeing tour, driving through the most beautiful districts of the city. After an hour and one-half of this, during which time wc had become well ac- quainted, Miss Helman asked if I would care to go to her home for a cup of tea. I accepted her invitation and soon we drew’ up before a beautiful mansion on Buena Vista Drive. Forty-Three The Spectrum January, 1930 The lady immediately led me to her father in his study. There I saw seated in a deep Morris chair a man whose shoul- ders were stooped and whose black hair was tinged grey, from worry, as I later learned. When he arose to acknowledge the introduction, I noticed that his figure was tall, commanding and dignified. Having introduced us, Miss Helman excused herself on the plea of wishing to change her dress. After her departure Mr. Helman turned to me and said, “My dear Mr. Davis, will you please tell me how you met my daughter?” My first impulse was to manufacture an excuse of my own and take a chance on his not checking up. On second thought, I decided to tell him the truth and accept the consequences. I told him the actual facts and waited his displeasure. I was mistaken for Mr. Helman sat down and remained silent for a few minutes. Then he turned to me and said, “I thank you sir. Now let me tell you something.” He paused, and then continued in a low voice, “My daugh- ter had an accident several years ago and since then she has not been the same. She is demented and does not know what she does. This afternon some valuable papers disappeared from my safe. Under the circumstances, I believe that my daughter has had something to do with their disappearance. Can you, by chance, tell me anything of them?” Immediately my mind flashed back to that scene involving the papers. I answered that I had them in my coat pocket and set out to procure them. The hall was arranged in such a fashion that opposite the staircase stood a large, full-sized mirror. My coat hung be- side it and, as 1 reached for it, I glanced into the mirror. 1 saw Miss Helman dressed in some soft, white, clinging ma- terial, descending the steps. In her right hand she held a re- volver which was levelled directly at my head. Instantly I whirled about flung up my hands, struck the top of the bed and awoke. 'J'HE Oregon pioneer is the pioneer of pioneers, the gradually assorted vanguard. Forty-Four Harvey Scott January, 1930 The Spectrum Accept Your Lot Wilbur Thibault A liner plowed the silver swell, Of a moon-lit southern sea; The night watch bell told all was well. Not a light from wind to lee. Below the deck in the dining hall. Sparkling with crystal and silver, The Captain was the host of all At a complimentary dinner. The guests in merriment danced and dined To the jazz band’s rhythmic blare, And in the milling crowd we find That even the Captain banished care. But, look who comes on the polished floor, A messenger for the Commander! “A wireless call for Captain Moore, A ship in distress, sir!” He noted the Captain slow in replying, And hastened to complete his tale. “Their cargo’s shifted and they’re listing, Dangerously near the rail.” The Captain stopped to give command, Then stopped and viewed the festival. Was his the only boat at hand To heed the signal call? Why, no! Were not there many lines of travel Between the two great liners? Some other help could reach the vessel ’Ere he his boiler fires. Forty-Five The Spectrum January, 1930 Then turning to his man, he said. “She’s miles beyond our way. We’ll hold our course due straight ahead And meet our schedule to a day.” The seaman turned with reluctant steps His message to deliver. The Captain soon rejoined the rest With none about him wiser. Meanwhile, upon a rising sea The ill-starred transport lay. A biting gale rose suddenly And dashed her deck with spray. The storm beat high its furious tide Against the heaving wreck. And turning on her crippled side She sank with all on deck. No human eye observed her fate No, none received the cry Save Captain Moore who’d rather take A chance on passers-by. We see the same in daily life; Too much we trust in others. We push our cares and worldly strife Oft times upon our brothers. Such action none but cowards take In attempts to shift the blame. Such tactics never a man will make Who’ll dwell in the Hall of Fame. Perform your share of work contented, No matter who shall blame. Do your duty as presented And let others do the same. Forty-Six January, 1930 The Spectrum Who Won the Prize? Iris Morton “Oh, Lucille, are you going to make a poster?” “Say, John, don’t you think this contest is a good idea?” “And, girls, the first prize is a silver loving cup and one hundred dollars!” These are a few of the remarks that passed around among the employees of the Seton Advertising Firm. The elder Mr. Seton had started a poster contest to stimulate interest in the work. Everyone was discussing the contest. One evening, a few' days after the announcement of the contest, two of the women employees were walking home togther. Their conversation turned to the subject of the poster contest. “Are you going to make a poster?” Eleanor Clarke asked her chum, Lucille Brown. “I’d like to make one,” was Lucille’s reply, “But I can’t think of a good subject. You know the posters are to be judged first for the idea and then for the beauty and origi- nality of presentation.” Lucille was one of those girls whom men classed as “beau- tiful hut dumb.” She could draw very well, hut she never had any good ideas. Eleanor had good ideas, but she could not draw. She imagined beautiful things, hut when she put them on paper, they looked altogether different. “I don’t think I’ll enter the contest,” Eleanor told Lucille. “I have a good idea, hut I don’t think 1 can work it up.” Eleanor told Lucille her idea and Lucille was amazed. It was a wonderful idea! That night. Lucille lay in bed thinking a long time before she finally went to sleep. Why couldnt she use Eleanor’s idea, since Eleanor was not going to enter the contest. Lu- cille knew that if she added a few7 touches of her own, no one would recognize Eleanor’s idea. Soon after, Lucille started working on her poster and she finished it on the Monday before the Friday on which the contest was to end. Lucille had avoided Eleanor as much as she could, hut Wednesday evening Eleanor walked home with her. “May I come in and see your poster?” asked Eleanor, eagerly. “Grace told me that you had finished it.” Forty-Seven The Spectrum January, 1930 With a sinking heart, Lucille took Eleanor into her apart- ment. “Oh, it’s beautiful!” exclaimed Eleanor, as she gazed at the poster. “The idea is almost the same as mine. I know you’ll win the prize.” Lucille was only too glad when Eleanor left, hut her conscience hurt her. Did Eleanor recognize the idea? And anyway, was she being fair in using someone else’s idea? On Friday, a large number of posters was handed in. All day and far into the night the judges worked. The next morning a meeting of all the employees was called. Those who had entered the contest went into the meeting with thump- ing hearts, and the rest went with natural interest. The elder Mr. Seton gave a long speech congratulating all the contest- ants. Finally, he announced the winner. “You all know the posters were to be judged for the idea primarily and then for the beauty and originality of presen- tation. It gives me pleasure to announce that the poster of M iss Eleanor Clarke fills these qualifications and therefore wins the first prize of a silver loving cup and one hundred dollars. Mr. John Hendricks won the second prize of fiftv dollars.” Eleanor went forward with a perplexed look on her face. After the presentation of the prizes, the employees went hack to their work. Only Eleanor, Lucille and Mr. Seton were left in the room. “Why, Lucille, why did you do it?” asked Eleanor in astonishment. Mr. Seton then told Eleanor that Lucille had come to him and confessed what she had done. She had asked to enter the poster in Eleanor’s name, and Mr. Seton had considered the poster eligible. Mr. Seton then left the girls alone together. “Lucille, you really won the prize. You made the poster,” said Eleanor. “Hut it was your idea,” said Lucille. Who really won the prize? Forty-Eight January, 1930 The Spectrum Wallace Ethel Ross, W. P. Yff ALLACE was indeed a mirth-provoking character. Talka- tive, witty, quick-tempered, impulsive, adventurous, and kind-hearted, he was well liked by all who knew him. Scotch in nationality, Wallace reminded one of the old Scottish chiefs, as he gathered his part of the boys attending the little country school into a small smoke-filled hut made of fir boughs. His blue eyes would flash with the love of rivalry as he emphatically denounced the opposing band. When sports such as baseball and football required the united effort of the school, the bands were dissolved, but always Wallace’s voice was to be heard loud and forceful. Wherever Wallace was, there were arguments, for to him nothing was more gratifying. The spirit of contest was to him as essen- tial as life itself. Besides argumentation, Wallace liked another form of discourse: narration. What narratives he told! So exagger- ated were his stories, that often one would wonder what the original circumstances were. The pupils of the little country school would listen open-mouthed to his tales, for Wallace had traveled a great deal, and his brief sojourn in the country was just another item in his young but eventful life. He had lived in large cities: he had lived in the oil fields in Cali- fornia, while his father was completing an invention on an oil shaft; he had traveled in a steamer on the ocean and had talked to the captain of the ship. Nowr he would tell the tales of sharks and sea monsters, as the captain had told them to him, with perhaps several extra sharks and whales thrown in. He told his eager listeners that avocades were bigger than water melons, and cost nearly ten dollars each; however, he said, he was very fond of them and had eaten “stacks of ’em.” Wallace wras ever in search of something new. Once he conceived the idea of capturing some wild animal that he might tame it for a pet. Therefore, one day when he and some of his friends were working around in the w'oods near a pond, they suddenly came upon a skunk, which he attempted to catch. With characteristic impulsiveness, he caught the skunk and, holding the back of its neck, plunged it under the water. Nearby the boys found three young ones, which Wallace took home in his cap, while out of his coat he had Forty-Nine The Spectrum January, 1930 made a sort of sack in which to carry the mother. At home he fixed a box for the skunks, hoping that he might tame them. During the first night the mother skunk escaped, but Wallace- not daunted in his desire to have tame skunks for pets, each morning filled a small water gun with milk fresh from the cows, and squirted it into the mouths of the hungry kittens. Th is incident was typical of his many caprices. Another trait which caused many to smile was his wit. Once his cousin had lost a very valuable string of gold beads. She was tearfully telling her mother that she had looked everywhere that they could possibly be, but still she could not find them, when Wallace, taking up a hammer which hap- pened to by lying near him, and substituting the hammer for his glasses as he put on the airs of a society woman, said: “May I advise your royal dumbness, that if you look every- where where they couldn’t possibly be, the mystery will be solved?” Just then, the little Collie pup came in, and Wal- lace, leaning over, attempted to pull the dog toward him by catching his collar with the claws of the hammer. However, it was not the collar, but the string of gold beads, which the hammer caught. As the beads went trickling over the floor, Wallace replied in answer to the surprised and indig- nant looks of his aunt and cousin: “Well, the worthy hound had to be rewarded with a collar of gold, for this very day did the valiant mastiff save me from a watery grave. The yellow mongrels of the Jit-o-Jee tribe would have stormed our fortress with buckets of water, had it not been for his loyalty to me, the king of the Marlon Carlons,” and he paced up and down the floor pounding his chest and throwing his arms around, much in the manner of an accomplished orator. Wallace was kind in his own peculiar way. His very generosity was humorous. He would give anything he owned to someone who needed it more than he did. If there were a poor boy in school who was unable to buy a composition pad for himself Wallace would buy one having on it a picture or a horse or some other animal of which he knew the boy was fond and would give it to him, saying: “Gee whiz, do you want this goofy thing? I told that guy to give me one with a dog on it, but he never will do what lie’s told. Next time I’ll go to the other store, where they’re not so stubborn.” Of such a humorous nature was Wallace, that Frank Nor- ton, the good-natured bachelor with whom he loved to talk, was thoroughly justified in saying, “I received more joy from knowing little Wally than from all the shows I have ever seen.” Fifty January, 1930 The Spectrum Reminiscences of a Senior Howard L. Uetz JpOUR long years ago, we bid good-bye to the guides of our childhood and set out upon the trail of our advanced education. One lap of that journey we are now completing. The trail divides: we are at the crossroads of life. Some will follow this road, some another. Where the trails lead, none knows. We set out on our journey light-hearted and carefree. After traveling for five months, overcoming wild beasts in the form of had grades and indifference, circling the pitfalls of despair into which, had we fallen, we should have been de- layed in our journey, many of us held no fear for future beasts and pitfalls: yet there were some who were left behind, victims of the indifference and temptation which assailed us at every turn of the road. But those were soon forgotten, as we again pressed onward on the second lap of our journey. Along the trail were many things which we explored: the honey-tree of Science, the honey of which was sweet to many, but to others presented only a swarm of angry bees who wreaked great havoc on their inexperienced despoilers. Some took branches of the trail leading to shady spots of beauty and education where they learned of Art, Knglsh, Commercial subjects, Languages, and many other things. These subsidi- ary trails always joined the main trail again, where we held reunions with our companions. Many were delighted to find a majority of their former companions accompanying them to the giant tree of Mathematics, from the limbs of which so many were to fall, some bravely to try again, others to give up the entire trip. Those who climbed to the top-most branches continued onward, though their ranks were thinned until they reached that turbulent river of History, which had to be cross- ed ere the journey were complete. On its banks, many of us drew back in dismay at its wild, muddy, turbulent appear- ance, but most of us plunged bravely in. Our struggles there were symbolic of the river itself. Down through the ages, it had been clear and muddy, peaceful and turbulent, high in the heat of hate, and low in the coolness of peace. As we strove onward to our goal, so did the river flow onward to its Fifty-One The Spectrum January, 1930 destiny, the sea of peace. Those of us who reached the other side, looked back to see how our comrades were coming (Ah, the hopes, the ambitions of many that were swept away in that wild streiim!). But once upon the other side, we found ourselves in a beautiful country overflowing with opportunities, rosy in ap- pearance, a place where Happiness reigned. And now as we contemplate this new country, and think over the hardships through which we have passed, there comes a messanger to tell us that there is one more expedition for which we must prepare, ere we shall be turned out to shift for ourselves in the world of life. May we profit by the mishaps of our former journey and make a success of the future one. And may we experienced ones advise those who are beginning the journey, to keep close watch for the beasts and pitfalls which are before them, and urge them to overcome these difficulties in a blaze of glory. o © o TF they had not lifted, up the stone, you had not found the jewel.

Fifty-Three The Spectrum January, 1930 Endurance [y ST summer an airplane remained in the air for seventeen and one-half days and even after that long flight, landed under its own power. The flight established a refueling endurance record that has stood longer than any of the four or five which preceded it. At the same time, the record for non-refueling endurance is only about seventy hours. There is something in common between the airplane’s taking off on an endurance flight and the boys and girls stepping out into life. We may be said to have a tank of knowledge when we first start. As the world progresses, our knowledge falls short, and soon we are apt to be behind the times. Hut if we “refuel” by studying each new development in our field, we are not going to he forced to “land” because our “fuel” is exhausted. Perhaps you have on your list of acquaintances an en- gineer or doctor who is eminently successful. In his office or home you will find books. You will find that he spends much time at a library, that he is always studying. He does not believe that what he has already learned is the whole of his subject. He wants to get to the most remote facts and really be an authority in whatever subject he has learned. Then too, you know of the other kind of man. the one who finishes his college education and takes his diploma out to find work. “Here 1 am; look my diploma over,” is his atti- tude, and he keeps that attitude all through life. After a few? years his knowledge is strained to keep up with the progress of his business, but he lets the knotty problems slide and sooner or later is forced down, “out of gas.” But the other fellow who is willing to study and keep abreast or a little ahead of his profession can keep going all through life and finally, when in old age he believes “his motor is going had” he can “come in under his own power” or retire from his business and spend the rest of his life on the fruits of his study. A doctor friend once told me that his studies in college were simple compared to those he found necessary in carry- ing on his profession. “I think of it this way, son,” he said. Fifty-Four January, 1930 The Spectrum “In high school, you must study harder than in grade school, in college harder than in high school, so in life keep up the habit and study even harder than you have in college. Make everything that comes up a part of your study. Every prob- lem in your business should be a lesson. Why, every patient who comes to me teaches me something more about medicine or surgery.” Let’s “refuel” when we get out on that flight ahead of us. Let’s try for a landing flight under our own full power and at least a smooth landing, a run across the landing field, and a knowledge that when our ship is rolled back into the hangar of eternity its flight will be as memorable and as in- spiring as that of the St. Louis Robin last summer. The Editor. Before and After QN LOOKING back through our four years of high school life, we now realize how little we have done for our school, although during these years we seemed to ourselves to be working like slaves. We took from two to four books home each night and really did study hard. Very few of us have attained public notice, although some are well-known within Jefferson—in athletics, in literary work, and in do- mestic art. In our freshman year we were unable to do much, other than to study hard and to help our own rooms to have a large honor roll. As sophomores, however, we could do a little more. More boys could enter athletics, and, as we had been better trained in English, we could write better stories and poems for the Spectrum. We felt, when we were juniors, that we had, indeed, reached a high point, so lofty that we could sit back upon our honors and let things slide by. How- ever, we soon learned, to our sorrow, how useless that course was and again we busied ourselves with our studies. In our senior year, we knewr that we had reached our goal. We now held the position of the mighty seniors, at whom we had gazed with so much awe in our freshman year. But, for some Fifty-Five The Spectrum January, 1930 reason, our success seemed rather tasteless. For a while we could not understand this feeling, but finally we realized that there was so very much more to be done, that the world did not stop going around just because wre were finishing high school. The years will roll on and we must keep pace with them. Our lives cannot slop moving at one point. With them the years will bring great changes into the lives of our Jefferson class of January, 1930. Who can tell what they will be? We do not know what is in store for us. Perhaps it is better that we do not know. Life is really a great adventure for all of us. Shakespeare said “All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players.” How are we going to portray our parts in the great drama of life? Are we going to play our parts as true American men and women—like our Puritan fathers before us? With a stern, unrelenting purpose in mind, to strive always for the pure and good in our lives? To gain the beautiful and to leave that which is unclean? We are sure that the students of the January, 1930 class are set in their purpose, if not to gain national favor, at least to live good lives and fight the good fight. E. R. pOR the Oregon pioneer the last won wilderness was reserved And, from such analogies as history affords, we have a right to expect that—when, enfeebled at home and menaced from abroad, American civilization seems tottering to its fall, here, among those rugged mountains and along these vigor- ous streams and in the shadow of these sublime forests, lib- erty will linger to the last.

Some of the most important events have been demonstra- tions in first aid and life saving by Captain Reis of the Port- land Fire Department. Many useful carries for injured or unconscious persons as well as first aid treatments were shown to the squad members, the most important of these being learned and practiced by each one on the squad. Another time Truck No. 7, a hook and ladder truck, was brought out, all the ladders and other equipment being dem- onstrated. The members of the squad were put through drills involving the ladders and the life saving net. Chief Yoho gave a talk in an assembly explaining what was expected of the squad. He stressed the importance of the students’ cooperating with the fire squad during drills. He called to the staudents’ attention the fact that Jefferson holds the World’s Record for Fire Drills. The building was emptied of 1600 students in 52 4 seconds. An enviable record! Let’s do our best towards another record for 2,000 students! JlM Fuller, Assistant Battalion Chief. WINGED PEN President.......Eleanor Wharton Secretary. Vice-President.......Ethel Ross Treasurer. Frances Frazier Florence Skecls Under the guidance of our president, Eleanor Wharton, and our faculty adviser, Miss Pringle, the Winged Pen Liter- ary Club has had one of its most successful semesters. With several interesting and instructive talks on the various types of writers and with the original work of the members, we have had a delightful term. The members have kept their standard of supporting the Spectrum and intend to do the same during the year to come as they have done in the years gone. Those members graduating this term are Donald Finlay, Edris Rogers. Verl Stockdale. Louise Wagnon, and Genevieve McConnell. Xificty-Four Frances Frazier, Secretary. January, 1930 The Spectrum ORCHESTRA The Orchestra has come to the front this term. Its first appearance was in the assembly to advertise the symphony concert. Besides this, the orchestra played for the Chamber of Commerce and the Class Play. The purpose of the orches- tra is not chiefly to present programs for different events, but to give its members training in sight-reading which is very valuable to orchestra musicians. Jefferson is lucky to have as the leader of this orchestra Mr. Harold Bayley, who is one of the founders of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Gordon Finlay, Student Conductor. BAND The band has had a very successful term. It has partici- pated in many school and public activities. The success of the band is due largely to the efforts of Mr. Mangold, faculty adviser, and Mr. Stoutenmier, instructor. The active members of the band this term are: Kugknk Solo Cornet Cordon Finlay Richard Goforth Bruce Ewen First Cornet— Ruben Nyberg Carsten Hansen Second Cornet— James Matteson Joe Scott Third Cornet Earl Scott First Trombone- - Walter West Second Trombone Russell Bales Robert McCormick Third Trombone- Wax Parrott Dick Sorenson Baritone•— Howard Campbell Burt Bailey Don McDougall Bass William Howe Robert Johnson Drums— James Fuller Jack Whitehead Edward Patton Jack Burton Lindkn, Conductor Louis Ryan Ed Flcnner Third Clarinet Frank Gates Lee Canfield Roscoe Wilson Joe Reid C Clarinet— Holman Smith Eb Clarinet— William Carter Flute— Mayo Sorenson First Horn— Joe Worm worth Second Horn— George Jeffries Jack Whitehead Third Horn— Craig Reese Fourth Horn— George Montag Bassoon— Samuel Fisher Tenor Sax— John Dick Alto Sax— Arthur Lillig Milton Nudelman Clyde Riggs Drums— Robert McKinley Ninety-Five The Spectrum January, 1930 Solo Clarinet— Lane Smith First Clarinet— Ralph Gustafson Ray Reichle Second Clarinet— Dan Donelson Melody Sax— Irwin Anderson Robert Sprague llto Sax— Billy Bert Edgar Perry President----- Vice-President, THE INN ESS ART CLUB George Hocrner Secretary........Marjorie Anderson .....Betty Holt Treasurer...........Eleanor Graliatn Scrgeant-at'Arms..............Ward Rineman The Art Club has held several very interesting and in- structive meetings this term. Mr. Reed, an ex-Jefferson teacher gave the members an exceptional treat by telling us about parts of Europe where he has visited or lived, and by illustrating his talk with foreign posters and slides. Under the new constitution adopted this term, the future club promises to be strong and successful. Marjorie Anderson, Secretary. President..... Vice-President CASHIERS ..Lyle Hopkins Secretary...............Alyce Snyder Nancy Suomcla Treasurer..........Miles Woodworth Business Manager...............David Monroe The cashiers of Jefferson have been quite active and en- thusiastic this term under the supervision of the president, Lyle Hopkins, with the help of the officers and the faculty adviser, Mr. Rockwell. Many of the cashiers have been working diligently to get the students to bank. The splendid record, which has been made so far this term by two of ie rooms on the first floor, has been very gratifying to the cashier organization. Room 120, which is Mrs. Coon’s registration room, has had 100 per cent banking for the entire term thus far although there are forty pupils enrolled. Another room, which has made a good showing for a large part of the term, is Miss Shaw’s registration room, 106B. The organization feels sure if more of the cashiers and teachers would cooperate Jefferson would have more 100 per cent rooms. Alyce Snyder, Secretary.

Mrs. Charlston, the director, who is never afraid to try a new thing once, has two new classes this term besides her senior and junior glee clubs. These are the music history class, and the Mixed Chorus. In the former, the works and lives of all the famous composers are being studied. In the latter, the chorus is composed of thirty girls and twenty boys, all of whom have very excellent voices. In both classes the work has been thorough. We are very proud of the Symphony concert which the Glee Clubs and Mrs. Charlston sponsored. Jefferson was the first high school to give one of these concerts, and we are glad to say that it was a real success. Besides the $500.00 guaran- teed to the Symphony, S62.00 was made for the Music Depart- ment of Jefferson High School. A great deal of time and energy is being spent on the Christmas Program which is the big event of the fall term for the Glee Clubs. It will be the first appearance of the Mixed Chorus. • Plans are being made at this time to stage an opera in March. Rehearsals will begin immediately after the holidays. The Triple Trio, Mary Evelyn Caldwell, Frances Lynch, Leona Oswald, Iris Pease, Evelyn Marks and Dorothy Duff, Edith Rogers, Olga Ebel, and Lydia Marks, and the boys quaret, Clarence Quirk, Jim Gillilan, Arthur Sawyer, and Ed- gar Perry, have contributed a great deal of pleasure to vari- ous organizations in the community. They have sung at ban- quets, church entertainments, and luncheons, at the Kiwanis Club and the Y.M.C.A. The girls are busy caroling before the Yuletide season. Catherine Bourhill, Secretary. Ninety-Seven Ninety-Eight FOOT BALL TEAM The Spectrum January, 1930 January, 1930 The Spectrum Athletics rJpHE January Class of 1930 can leave Jefferson with the assurance that it has seen made, and helped to make athletic encounters which have helped to build up the morale and the high standing of Jefferson sports. There have been times in the course of our four years here when we have not had championship teams, but the ideals of clean sportsman- ship that have been taught us by our coaches and by Mr. Jenkins will always remain with us. Athletics develop school spirt more than does any other activity in school life. It is not necessary to review the records of our whole four years at Jefferson to show that school spirit has bettered itself in the eyes of the sporting world. In the spring of 1926 our baseball team won a hard fought game from Washington 5-2 on the Vaughn street grounds, thereby cinching their claims to the championship and the trophy emblematic of that championship. To make the term a greater success, the golf and tennis teams brought home the proverbial “bacon.” Our track team of that year did not win the championship, as was their custom, but they did bring honor to Jefferson at the relay meet at Corvallis. The team of Woods, Brennen, Mars and Lowry, alone, won three relays and the Oregon State title. The next football season was good, but one game stood out above all others. It is mentioned here to show just one of the phases of school spirit. Commerce had three or four wins to her credit and was headed for the title, when she met Jefferson. Jefferson was not given even a chance, according to the dope sheet, but that dope sheet was destined to take a complete flop that afternoon. The Democrats ended that game with a 28-0 victory tucked up their sleeves and a good deal of satisfaction in their hearts, having beaten the league- leading green horde. Winkler and Grayson placed on the All-star team. In the fall of 1928 the football team worked hard and faithfully with few victories to develop new methods and new team work. The result of that season of hard work has been evident in this last season—1929—when the Jefferson Ninety-Nine The Spectrum January, 1930 team with the real Jefferson spirit has been able to chalk up some real victories. Soccer has been so well developed that it has been con- sidered almost a major sport. In the spring of 1926-27-28, and ’29 Jefferson has played second fiddle to Benson, who has won the title for the last five years, but whenever a game was played, Benson knew she had been in a fight. In the spring of 1929 our baseball team won the title, losing only to Washington after having won six consecutive games. Jim Newgard. Bob Weller and Orville Hickok made the all-star team. Our water polo team walked away from opposition in its first attempt at competition last spring. This is the tale of Jefferson sports during our four years here. The value of athletics cannot be determined by dollars and cents, but by the strength of character and physique that comes as a result of playing the game hard and playing it clean. Assemblies £)URING the se four years through which the January ’30 Class endeavored to obtain a better understanding of the world in general, one of the things that has constantly brought us together and will always remain as pleasant mem- ory, is our assemblies. In every institution there are always certain things which, having become traditional, are recognized as features that distinguish that institution from all others. It is in this light that the assemblies of Jefferson Hgh School are regarded. Here, in these gatherings, we have been delighted and entertained by artists of both national and local fame. We have been moved by the appeals and instructed by the lectures of many eloquent speakers. By means of interesting travel- ogues we have become better acquainted with the Hawaiian Islands, the Canadian Rockies, and Alaska. At one time we were introduced to life in the Kentucky hills by five youthful speakers from that region. Some of the great National problems have been clearly and interestingly put before us by such speakers as Paul Harvey, widely known lecturer; Dr. Wirt, secretary of the Council for Prevention of War; Mr. Kawasaki, attache to the One Hundred January, 1930 The Spectrum Japanese consul, and Colonel George Faliss, of Canada. The warm reception accorded each of these speakers proves, with- out a doubt, that students retain a desire not only for enter- tainment hut also for a knowledge and understanding of world problems. Much pleasure has been derived from the appearance on our stage of such famous people as Leo Carrillo and Henry Duffy, both actors, and Harold Loring, musical director of the “Passion Play.” The assemblies before holidays have always inspired us to revere the occasion for which that day was set aside. Of these, the one in which Dr. Villers of the First Baptist Church eulogized Abraham Lincoln, will long be remembered by that quotation: “Die when I may, I always want it said of me by those who knew me best I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.” All of these assemblies have been a source of pleasure, but those that remain nearest and dearest to our hearts are those in which the talent of our own school was displayed. With each new victory, whether it was in athletics, scholarship, ora- tory, or music, we have rejoiced with the victors, happy and proud of the fact that they were a part of us. At each assembly we have been met with the kindly, ever cheerful presence of the man who works with tireless effort to procure the best for “his boys and girls,” our beloved principal, Mr. Jenkins. So these assemblies have left a lasting impression on our lives and have tended to give us a broader view, to help us see the great opportunities that lie before us and more fully to realize that “ours is a rising and not a setting sun.” © © © LET this generation strive to emulate the qualities and vir- tues of the Oregon pioneers and to respect and to venerate what they hoped, what they dared, what they wrought, and what they accomplished. Holman One Hundred One The Spectrum January, 1930 IN RETROSPECT Ethel Ross It seems a dream that we The Graduating Class will he; Was it not yestermorn, I pray, That we came timidly to stay? No, ’tis longer, we decree, For when we stop to look and see— Howr many things have come to pass, Since that first day we came to class. First, Lindy o’er the ocean flew. One lone speck in a field of blue; When he came back, we welcomed him, ’Mid admiration, noise, and din. And many more achievements great Have been inscribed on Times’ great slate Round-the-world and Arctic flights, Progress toward peace and human rights. When all these events, and more, Come crowding from our ample store. We realize it must truly be Time this class should put to sea. One Hundred Two Humor January, 1930 The Spectrum (Qtse and Otherwise On Writing a Letter Edris Rogers THERE is Dora’s letter on the shelf. I suppose I should answer it now; otherwise 1 probably won’t for several weeks. Well, here’s the paper; now where is my fountain pen? Oh, here in the stationery box, of course! Well, what should I say? If I were old fashioned. I’d start it, “1 now take my pen in hand,” but, as I’m sophisti- cated, I’ll start it “Received your letter yesterday and was very glad to get it. How are you feeling? We’re all feeling fine.” That is all right for a start, but how should I continue? Oh, I’ll tell her about my new dress. “I bought a new dress the other day. It is a very nice dress. Howrever, you’ll have to see it before you can appreciate it. I am not good at describing.” I think I’d better not tell Dora about my quarrel with George. I feel terribly bad about it. What’s that on the paper? Why, it’s water. I wonder if I’m crying. I am! For goodness sake! Now, that paper is ruined, so I’ll have to start another. All right, now I’m up to the place where I left off. “I went to a party last Saturday night at Joan King’s home. It was a very good party. You know Jean Rates, don’t you? Well, what do you suppose? She was there and still trying to catch John Hall. Can you imagine that? And the way he turns her down!” Oh, that’s terrible! I can’t send that! I guess I’m get- ting to be a cat. Rut I can’t think of anything after that quarrel wih George. Why wouldn’t he take me to that dance? I wanted to go so badly. I guess he was just contrary, but so was I. One Hundred Three The Spectrum January, 1930 There’s someone knocking at the door. I’ll have to go. Wonder who it is. Why—why—it’s George. I must be very distant and cold, hut what is he saying? He wants me to for- give him and go to the dance with him. Oh, my, I must be cold, but what am 1 saying? I will go with him? Oh, I’m so very, very happy. He’s gone, and I just have to dance and sing. Oh, there is that letter I was writing. I should finish it, but I can’t sit still. I’ll write it tomorrow, really I will! How can I live until Saturday night—only two days away! Well, this is Sunday morning. I had the best time last night, but now I must finish that letter to Dora. There is the last beginning of the letter lying on my desk. Mother is calling me; she says that I am wanted on the telephone. Oh, it’s George! Today? Yes, I’ll be ready by twelve. I’m going to spend the day with his sister. THEN AJND NOW Hildinc Holstrom When a freshman green came I Jeff’s famed halls to pass though, I thought I “rated” very high And that a lot I knew. I didn’t take it seriously That thing called education. For me to study every night Was almost tribulation. But since those freshman days have passed And I have finished school, I realize that learning then Is man’s most needed tool. One Hundred Four January, 1930 The Spectrum Pumpkin Center, Vt. February 31, 1929. Dear Me: I will finish that letter tomorrow. I received your letter of the eleventeenth saying you wanted to know how things are back here. Our football team beat Barber College 97 to 96. Eli Phant played a fine game at mud-guard, as did Poop McGlook at block-and-tackle. Chris Cross starred at way-back carrying the ball from his own fifty-yard line to his opponents’ fifty. The sheriff died last week; you can come home now. We had a big blowout at our house last Saturday night; the still blew up. Mrs. Guppenhiemer, the town gossip, has lock-jaw and the newspaper is now making money. After a week’s rest of two days, Professor B. Loney will endeavor to solve the following: How cool is a cucumber? Where does your fist go when you open your hand? What would happen if an irresistible force met an immovable body? Say, that fellow is so smart he can tell which way the elevator is running, if you give him two guesses. If you don’t get this letter let me know. I had intended to send you some pictures but I had already sealed the envelope. Our dog was sick and nearly died; hoping you are the same. Yours till elephants roost on rosebushes. Axil Greese. Edward Gollik, sb js. REBELS OF JEFFERSON HIGH Verl Stockdale Of all the things our teachers hate our doing, The worst of all, it seems, is mere gum-chewing; So we’ve decided to go to the legislature To petition those salons of high legal stature To make a law this horrid custom hewing. One Hundred Five The Spectrum January, 1930 In it the radical law will say You may chew as much as a sack a day. The teachers will chew along with the best, For we know they must like it as well as the rest. If they wish to chew in class, they surely may. In 1620 the Pilgrims crossed the ocean Not the first that love of freedom set in motion, So if we don’t get our fondest hope. We won’t sit around and mope; We’ll leave, but leave behind a great devotion. Then we’ll build a school like this, And we’ll live in greatest bliss Chewing gum—gum—gum all the while. It will be the highest style Though I fear our dear teachers, we’ll always miss. LET’S HOPE SO Lawrence Bender My faithful clock sounds out her gong. And slowly I arise, For I am shivering with the cold. And sleep still claims my eyes. Laboring I climb into My clothes as cold as ice, Then rush down to the kitchen Ah, me! Hot coffee’s nice. And then—when I have found my hooks, And donned my coat at last, I dash outside—am greeted hv A shrill December blast. I’m frozen when I get to school, But no one pities me; I can’t prepare my lessons, So I get U’s, you see. It seems that I just can’t go on. When comest thou, warm spring? Five months away? What shall I do? Oh. Death—where is thy sting? One Hundred Six January, 1930 The Spectrum I have to have a stimulant; I know what it shall be, When my teacher reads this poem. She’ll write on it an E. POEM Lawrence Bender 1 take my pen and paper, And sit down on a chair. I set my brains to work, and yet - - Poems don’t register there! I could write about the weather, And how I hate the cold, But no—that wouldn’t do at all; That story is too old. I could write about the ocean, Tell how I love the sea, And yet—there isn’t much I know, Of all its mystery. Now suppose I tackle nature? Well, no—I’m not that brave; I know ‘twould make poor Wordsworth Turn over in his grave. I might write of my fair lady. But what would people say? They’d laugh—they wouldn’t know her worth: It really wouldn’t pay! There are a million other things, That I might write about, But my putting them in poetry, Would he a real wash-out!

We mean the fighter On the nose—not on the shin. The shin it is in Paraguay Where the girls, they are so fair. Where the cuckoo birds in spring time Often go around in pairs. ’Tis there we met an aero-plane. It’s hair as white as snow— It was travelling down a dirty lane.

Whereupon I do hastily say grace, do brush my molars briskly, do snatch up my books and luncheon and so to schoolc. Ye olde scholare, Edward V. Golick. P. S.: No longarc due aye do this, for alumnus now I be. -----□------- “Life is but an empty dream, a sleep and a forgetting.” (They meant school life.) -----□------- POETS CORNER I wish I was an ostrich In the snow field of Siam. I’d rather be most anything ’n what the teacher says I am. I’d like to be a salmon, And if I had my wish. They’d have to call me salmon And not just plain “poor fish’’. When the sprjng comes in the winter, And the fall is from above. When hens say “Moo”—and cows do, too You know that you’re in love. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Au ear splitting shriek broke the silence of the night, as the midnight express thundered along the winding track. Sparks belched from the stack in an angry swirl, as if from the nostrils of a fircy dragon. With a hiss like an infuriated demon, the engine swung around a bend and there—there in the middle of the track—stood little Mary, help- less, in the face of inevitable doom! Could no one save her? Must she be ground beneath tons of seething machinery? No! Over the fields came a rider, hatless, coatlcss, brainless, footloose, and what-not. IIis monocle had fallen from his eye, and he was suffering agony from a hang-nail on his thumb, yet on into the night he rode. It was Oswald—the farmer’s boy! Ah! How like a Pennslyvanian cowboy he handled his mount. Not once heeding his unpolished shoes or the smarting hang-nail, but with only one thought in mind, he urged the old gray marc on. Across fields of blooming spinach and budding spaghetti vines—over fences and through dense thickets— our hero dashed to the rescue. Would he reach the track in time? Yes! With a final dash, he shoved Mary from under the wheels as the train swished past! She was saved, and Oswald was hysterical with joy, for Mary was the only cow that they had on the farm! Hear the ringing of the bells— Electric bells— What a mess of fearful thought their surety compels. Through the darkness of the night, How we slave and how we fight To be ready ere they strike their morning tone; For every clang that gloats From the dust within their throats Evokes a groan. And the teachers, oh, the teachers! They stand before their classes all alone. Poet shot at this point. Stand for one minute with head bowed in his memory and think of a good Scotch joke. ------□------ WANT ADS WANTED—Someone to get J. Yoho to grow up and forget his childish mannerisms.—H.
