H. Miller, Chairman Junttinn Qlity Junction City is located in Lane County, fourteen miles north of the county seat, Eugene, and one hundred and ten miles south of Portland. It is the end of a freight dlvision on the main line of the Southern Pacific, and has daily twelve passenger trains, besides many freight trains. The company has built the largest storage oil tank in the valley at this point, and there are two large stock yards, pumping station, turn- table and many other railroad facilities, and lately there has been erected a large, steel water tank and stand pipe. Besides this there are good prospects for an electric railroad being built from Portland to Eugene and passing through junction City. The road has already been built as far as Salem and will be completed and in operation by the first of January, 1912. This will add greatly to our already efficient transportation facilities. The surrounding country is a very rich section. Grain of all varieties and fruit of all kinds are profitably raised. All kinds of stock, sheep and goats are marketed here, junction City being the largest shipper of live stock of any town in the valley outside of Portland. We have three large grain elevators, one flour mill, an excel- .sior factory, two lumber yards, three creameries, thus insuring the top price for our dairy products, two first-aclass hotels, be- sides numerous boarding houses, one feed store, one steam fruit dryer, a solid banking institution, and several general inercliam dise stores, two hardware stores, while the other trades and pro- fessions are well represented. Our educational and religious institutions are of the best, as there are two public schools and a full course high school. Our churches are four in number, namely, Methodist Episcopal, South Methodist, Christian and Dane Evangelical. We have a large number of fraternal orders and numerous beneficiary soc1eties. Our fire department is the best of any city of our size in the valley, having a steam fire engine, hooks and ladders and all other modern appliances. Our commercial club and womanis auxiliary each have a large membership of enterprising citizens, Who are doing and have already done much toward the physical and Civic improve- ment of our town and community, the Womanls club securing a park site from the railroad company Which is being artisti- cally arranged and will further enhance the beauty of our city. They are also holding a TiPunkin Showh each year. The first one Was held in September of last year and proved to be a great H.-.Ngs a - A e .Grain 0i uSEd. AH ' Junction nvn in the . an excej.

Their exhibition of fruit at the Lane County fair won the silver cup offered by the Northern Pacific railway while numerous other prizes were captured by the several exhibits of t1.1s community. The second Annual Exhibition will be held 1n September of this year. In the improvement line the past year proved to be an epoch making one. Most of the cityls streets were graded and graveled while several miles of cement curbing were put down. Nearly all the residences now have cement walks and in many other lines much activity has been exhibited. The work on the walks has commenced again this spring, there being several built already. A large number of residences have been erected while at present, a cement house is being constructed. Two sites have been cleared for the erection of business houses, the work on which will be started in the near future. Our town is rapidly growing in pOpulation and territory, the number of people, including the city and the suburbs, now being about 1,200. It is predicted that this number will be doubled within a few years, as we have plenty of. room for growth and a large number are arriving from the East almost daily. ' There are no saloons in Junction City, nor in all of Lane County. Local option prevails in a large number of the counties of Oregon and saloons are a thing of the past. They were voted out of this city in 1905 and out of the county in 1907. People settling in this place thereby escape the evil which is more prev- alent in the larger cities. Heads of families can come here and settle and rear their children without fear, as the moral condi- tions are of the best. Though Junction City is not as large as some other towns of the vallev, it is now classed as one of the progressive little towns that has, a bright future, and those looking for a good place to invest money, or an ideal spot to build a home, are invited to become one of us. A. K. MICKEY, City Superintendent of Schools MISS E. M. THOMPSON, Teacher of Languages Cline ?gigh grignnl iliarulty We still have the same teachers whom we have had for the last two years except Mr. Seullen, who succeeded Mir. Baker, as principal and we are glad to say we have hopes of having the same teachers next year asthe whole corps has been retained by the Board. We believe our faculty to be composed of the best teachers obtainable and We highly praise the Board for their' good judgment. ' Mr. Mickey, our superintendent for the last four years, is popular among the students and his capability is proven by the fact that he was unanimously chosen for next year. i It is said that the best is always. done up in small parcels. The other two members of the faculty are certainly illustrations of this maxim, both being about the five foot mark, there being no mistake about itthe best? Miiss Thomson, the English teacher, hasnow been With us two years. She is a strong advocate of school spirit and takes a great deal of interest in all student body affairsx being highly esteemed both as a social leader and instructor as Well. Although Mr. Scullen has not been with us so long he has proved himself worthy of his position. He is a graduate of the state normal and holds an A. B. degree from the University of Oregon. He is a very competent principal and, being some- what of an athlete, is an excellent leader of athletics, serving in the capacity of coach for the different branches all through the season. .W, i .1 a .$..u$ e' .

It is with mingled feelings of joy and sadness that we present ourselves for the last time as a ,class of the Junction City High a Sch001,-glad with the exuberance Of youth and all 'it implies in future hope and possibility, sad to leave associations that have for the last four years proved a constant fount of pleasure and emmulation. We go forth, without one blemish On our record as students, and although as individuals we have met with the ills common in student life and perhaps have 0ftimes given more pain than pleasure and received more than our just share of consideration and forebearance both from fellow pupils and teachers, yet we can but leave with a fond hope that henceforth we may be able to diffuse some of the light shed upon us, and that the succeeding classes from dear old Junction High may receive even richer blessings from its effulgent beams.

Miss Anna McFarland entered school at mid-ye'lr, so that at present we number six as Mr. Purkerson is a member of Eugene High School; Miss Laing is in Caldwell, Idaho and Mr. Jacksoh is a bOOk-keeper for the Farmers and Merchants Bank of th1s city. So much for our members, now for'our place in the world. In student body organizations we come to the front having in the student body, Mr. Strome as an exceedingly successful Editor-in-chief and Miss Harpole as secretary. In the arena, our 'Willie makes quite a judicious president and our Carey an excellent secretary. Our Lois has the delightful job of being at the head of the girls Literary Society, with Miss Strome as her able secretary and Miss Harpole, sergeant-at-arms. In the staff we have Carey Strome as Editor-in-chief, Wm. Perman as business manager, Bertha Ha'rpole assistant business manager, and Lois Parks as Literary editor. . Wm. Perman represented us in debate. In athletics, Mr. Strome did some wonderful football play- ing and madegood in the track meets. Mr. Perman acted as football, coach, as captain of the boys' basket-ball team: and holds the record of making the most individual points in the Junior Freshman vs. Senior-Sophomore track meet. Three of our lassies, Miss Strome, Miss McFarland and Bertha Harpole figured prominently in girls Basket ball. Our ambitions are' that next year we shall be more prominent in athletics, social and mental affairs and graduate with many high honors. -B. HarpoleHIz. S S A .L C E R O M O H P O S We, the Sophomores of J. C. H. S., are proud of our class and have just reasons for being so. The class of 1913 ranks second in size, and, is composed of brilliant and studious pupils. We have taken an active part in all high school affairs, espe- cially athletics. We have some of the best athletes of the June- tion. City High among both boys and girls. In the girlsi basket- ball team, we have Ruth Tower as captain, Florence and Inez Cooley, Reta Donavan and Bertine Orton. In the foot-ball team, We have Augustus Flint, Ejner Hentze and Chester Har- pole. Another department in which the Sophomores hold a prominent place is the track work of which Chester Harpole is manager. Most of the Sophomore boys take part in this branch of H. S. athletics. We must not forget debate. Two of the members of the Debating team were Sophomores, namely, Ejner Hentze and Martel Mickey. As a class, we have done our share in the social affairs of the student body. . Our intentions are to be the largest and most studious class of J. C; H. S. and as Seniors graduate with the highest honors yet won by any class of our High School. --M. G.JI3. 1,, , . mrti Vii S .Lnt 'x ' H,?ti'j'lH vs: 59'! FRESMAN CLASS ALPHABET.

Ever since she could remember she and her father had lived in the little box house on the lake shore. She had never known her mother, for when Marjory was only two years old Mrs. Day had died, and was buried in the cemetery by the little white Church which was several miles down the river from the lake. It was not of her mother that Marjory was thinking as she sat in her boat on the lake. That spring she had completed the course of the common schools; and now she longed to go to high school. She was trying to plan some way. by which to gratify her wish. But as no plan presented itself to her mind she rowed homeward. Fastening the boat securely to the land- ing she walked slowly up the path and entered the house. i The home of Mr. Day was like many found in that part of the country a few years before, but at this time there were few remaining. The main part of the building consisted of a sit- ting room and bed room, above which was an attic used fer sleeping apartments. On one side of the sitting room was bniit a low, wide porch extending the whole length of the builchng and almost completely screened in by a heavy growth of ivy. On the opposite side was a shed kitchen which also served for a dining room. In the north end of the sitting room was a large fire place. In the corner to the right were several rudely con- structed shelves filled with books. The two windows of the room were on the side by the porch, and were curtained by some kind of white material. One curtain was. looped back to let in light to a lovely fern which was setting on a quaint flower Stand before the window. The low ceiling was supported by bare brown beams. The room was furnished very simply with a settee by the fireplace, a writing desk, two or three-easy chairs and a reading table. On the mantle shelf were a palr of pretty vases and a photograph of a girl like Marjory, with wavy hair and dark thoughtful eyes. Hanging on the wall were three or four landscapes and a group of photographs. Such was the home to which Marjory returned after her boat ride. Kindling a fire in the fire-place,-efor although it Was June, the evenings by the lake were chilly,-she sat down on the floor by the window and commenced to read. Eighteen or twenty years before this time, Leonard Day and his bride had come West to seek their fortune. He had taken up as much of the government land as the law allows to any one man and had built his home onethe shore of Iriangle Lake. Prosperity had not come to him as: he had hoped it might. Until the last few months he had not felt the need of having more money. But now he had come to realize that Marjory was growing up into young womanhood and needed an education that would make her independent of others When. he was gone. ,Twas true she could row a boat and ride her pony as well or better than any of her girl companions, but he knew that although these accomplishments are very well in their place, they are of very small practical value. So at present his great problem was the same as that of Marjory,-the way of raising the means to send her to school. Although he had said nothing to his daughter, he had thought some of selling a part, if not all of his ranch. There was a large amount of fine timber on it and he knew that he would not have to Wait longifor a pur- chaser. If any other plan presented itself, however, for the solu- tion of his problem, he would rather take it than sell the home where he had lived so long. That afternoon while Marjory was away on the lake 3 man had come to her father and asked permission to camp on Mr. Dayls land down by the lake. Mr. Day told him that he might camp there as long as he wished to, providing he was careful about his Campfire. Several days passed before Marjory saw the campers except as they rowed across the lake. One afternooa she loosed her boat fr'Om the landing and rowed down the lake to where it flows into Lake Creek. Stooping and looking around at the beautiful scene,--the lal e with its bright water sparlling in the sunshine, hemmed in by the dark green mountains: and high above it all the blue sky,--she was greatly surprised to see Jack Preston, one of the campers. awkwardly trying to paddle along in a Canoe. She wondered h0w he managed to get that far from camp paddling in that way, while her second thouqlt was. wwhat if he should unsetl'l Just at that instant Jack noticed that his - attempts were being observed, and, unconscious that he was dO-r, ing so, he leaned a little to one side, and before he was aware of his danger the boat capsized and poor Jack was out in the cold water of the lake. Marjory stared at the upturned canoe for a moment and then rowed swiftly toawrd it. lack could swim a little and he managed to keep his head above the water lift phtf l f t m! millf mutt iii 3 31:0th 3 ' wgalfc'i 3 quell nut 3 ' tiritx' slit ' mill nah 8:th up it , tlwam tr lull was :4! ' iswere h glomesxca awn. until Marjory reached him. Neither of them ever knew how he managed to scramble into the boat; but he succeeded some- how and sat down opposite Marjory, shivering from cold and exeltemxent. Marjory was the first to find her voice, but all she sald was llO-h ! ' Then out over the water rang her merry laugh- ter. - llI donlt. see, what is funny? said young Preston somewhat annoyed. It might be pleasant enough to be picked out of the water by a pretty girl, but it was not so pleasant to have her laugh at him. i He assured her that it wasn,t his place to be angry at anyone Who had saved him frOm drowning. She put a stop to his thank- ing her, by saying that they hadibetter get back to camp before he took cold. In a few minutes she had rowed to the camp and V he jumped ashore. Before he had time to say another word Marjory had shoved the boat from the bank and was rowing toward home. i That evening after supper as they were sitting before the fire, Mr. Day told his daughter of his afternoon visitors. He said that they were Mr. and Mrs. Preston, and that they wished to purchase, for a summer home, the forty acre tract which included the plaice wheretthey were camped. VAccepting their offer means that you may go to school in Junction this winter. What are we going to do about it daugh- ter?h After a moments silence, Marjory arose, and going to the Window pushed aside the curtain and putting her hands on the pane, gazed out at the moonlit lake. Within her reach was the Opportunity she had been longing for: and it might be hers if she would only say the word. But taking it, meant that she must give up her mountain home. Turning to her father she said, llI want to go, papa? . That was all her father wished to know, for his daughter's wishes were his. So the bargain was made and part of the Day homestead passed into the hands of Mr. Preston. -EdithWrenn,i I 3. ROMEO FINDS HIS JULIET. As the sun is leaving the dingy city of Chicago in darkness, :1 little family of three pushed their chairs from the supper table. ttHere is a letter for you, father? said Jack, who was a lad of eighteen, tall, strmg, and one oi the handsomest of the Clty tvpe of youth. His father adjustlng h1s glasses, openecl the letter while his mother,' who was clearing away the d1shes, negleicited her work and stood looking over Mr. Preston,s shoul- der. , . . Hall said Mr. Preston, lla letter from Junctlon City Com- mercial Club, saying that Oregon is the place for us. . Then Jack grew interested and, drawmg hls chair over beSIde hIS fatherls, listened intently to the reading of the letter. The wild free swing of the strong masculine scrawl, and the style of its wording was in some way different from the thousands of busi- ness letters of the East. . 'The influence of this letter and a longing to be from the noise and bustle of the city, caused them, to come West. X- 96 96 96 56 -X- 96 One morning as the sun arose from behind the Cascades, it lighted one of the most magnificent of naturels paintings. The only moving speck on the pireture-like Willamette valley was the Shasta Limited, which left in its wake a long rolling cloud of white smoke; When the train stopped in the quiet littletown of Junction City, the three happy easterners, the ,first of, whom was Jack, stepped from their car and were. born anew in the fresh spring air about them. - 1 .. U x There was a great contrast between the large city of Chicago and this little Western town, intwhich they intended to make their home. Mr. Preston soon bargained for themostsumptu- one home that could be obtained in the town, for his next win- ter,s abode. After the family was settled they went to Triangle Lake on a campingtripuiJ'While there, he boughta piece of Mr. Day,s little homestead, for a summer home. 1,There,.i,arnid the solitude of theivmountains, they arranged a pleasant summer camp. From here their gaze sweeping across the resting waters of Triangle Lake, and rising along the tops of manynthousand firs, would then rest on a sea of snowecapped peaks, burnished by the sunls rays, in rich purple, silver and gold. During that beautiful summer, Jack would roam the deepest of those mountain w11ds, from early morn till shadowy night. Night lured bygamultitudes of little field creatures, coming from their holes in meadow, forest and thicket, scraping away on monotonous shrilling melodies, accompanied by trebles of frogs along the brooks, was the only check to his pathless rambles. . However on one particular day not longllafter his arrival, he went far into the forest along a small mountain stream, busying himself with the little trout, which played in the ripples, and lurked behind Irocks,ilogs, and roots. There were steep walls of tree tons on either side, so that the bottom of the crystal stream reflected the sun light only at the noon hour. After con- fronting the rapids till near the middle of the day, he heard the sound of roaring waters, and hurried on till he faced one of the most beautiful types of nattirels grandeur. The little stream leaped over a great cliff and was dashed into spray, among mosses, ferns and shrubbery, on the rock at the base. Jack stood for a while eating the'fruit from an over-, laden huckle-berry bush, but the roaring, dashing and whirling of the water as it fell over the precipice and went racing through the Whirlpools and rapids, Was all so new,-so strange to him--,- that he sat down on a rnoss-eovered rock and looked, and looked, and thought.

VHah! I am glad I am away from all Civilization, but Oh, if my dear little Marjory were only here? and he pulled from hls pocket a note book and started to write to his old play-mate . annd sweet-heart far away. Before a page was completed his a flrst deSIgn would be crowded out by a newer and deeper thought that. he wanted to write first, and he would fling his started let- ter into the water, which swiftly carried it away to Marjory,- ibut not Marjory of the EaSt. Suddenly he hearda sound, a chuck-Chuck-chuck-chuck-ch, which was half drowned by the roar of the falls. He jumped to his feet. iiBy Jove, canit I go where the , hubbub of the auto will not deafen my ears V This he uttered aloud, as he pushed back his cap from his brow, expecting his voice to be absorbed only by the roar of the cascade. iiO you ignorant boy that was only a wood-peeker in that dead cedar. No automobile has ever ascended the winding path to these falls? a surprisineg sweet voice answered. This nearly resulted in precipitating him into the fleecy whirl of white water. Was it all a dream, or what? Like a blossom among the crimson branches of the huckle- berry bush, was the fresh face of a girl. As she stepped out from the branches he saw, not a blonde, a Marjory of the East, I but a nobly built, richly com-plexioned Miarjory of the West. Upon meeting Jackis direct gaze she flushed deeply, and a pair of curved, black lashes fell over her large dark eyes. As the midday sun flashed on the long curls of rich wavy dark hair that hung about her high, broad forehead, she smiled and her, oval cheeks dimpled; with her ruby lips, slightly parted, she stammered, ilPardon me? ' iiPardon you? What for? You have proved to be of the greatest aid while wandering about, where I happened to be, and Miss Day I hardly know how to thank you for your help,' Jaeic 'said in a burst of speech, It was true that she had saved him from being drowned when his canoe had upset in thellake two weeks beforepand she had taken him to his landing in her own boat and rowed away be- fore he had time to thank her. Since this he had not seen her. iiO please do not mention that little accident. For you have no idea how much you folks have helped us by buying our tim- berf, she said, as she placed one of the red berries between her rOSy lips. I . . ' . iiIam glad father bought, too. For thls 1s surely the fmest place in the worldfi She sana lingermg doubt 1n hls eyes and began to think that it must be lonesome for one who has been used to the city to roam the forest by himself. Although she knew well for she had caught the SllpS of paper that he had thrown away, she asked, with a merry twinkle in her eye, llWhat were you doing just as I came? - dIeI-J was trying to write to an olde-friende-ofemine in the East? Jack answered with some difficulty. llI hope you do not find it lonesome out here ?,l was her sec- ond question. After Jack had answered in the negative, he took his rod and began to fish and she did likewise. They did not leave the falls till the sun had sunk into the Pacific, and the hawk that had been soaring in the blue heaven above the canon flew away to her nest on the mountain. On reaching the lake, they climbed into the boat in which he had come to the mouth of the creek. As Jack drew with his strongr , arms the boat cut the still waters, which were now darkened by the long shadows of tall trees. llthy, how fast you have learned to row. Do you learn that fast in everything? her sweet girlish voice asked. llNot quite? Jack said.

Marjorieis cheeks grew suddenly pink and she answered- llO, Jack! I am going there too? eRoy Tracer, ,13. THE, CYCLE OF LIFE. In the high mountains on the western coast of the island, was a deep valley with steep, abrupt sides. The tropical vegetation grew dense and rank; tall palms and tree ferns flourished, and trailed along in the middle of the valley. In the cliffs on the east end of the Valley, was a little cave, and around the cave were spread, bleached bones. One Clear, moonlight night, a large animal came out of the cave, and moving almost noiselessly into the shadow of the trees, disappeared. . An hour or two passed, and a smaller animal came into the moonlight. The new arrival was only about a foot in height and seemed tired. He lay down in the shadow of the trees and slept while the moon rose farther overhead. When the moon was going down in the west, a shadow moved silently toward the cave. Near the foot of the tree it paused, and the litle creature awoke to his danger. A minute of frantic dodging;-a sudden, heavy blow, and then, the dull crunching of bones. Not only the beasts of the land, but also the birds of the air preyed on the weak and fallen, for in the morning the great vultures came and after them, the flies. Then came the fly- catchers, wheeling and darting, now and then closing their jaws With a snap on some unfortunate. L011 iiiii t ' 5 A hawk swooped down upon a fly-catcher and soon, in turn, was caught by a huge eagle. In thls way, year in, year out, life has been going' the strong- T er preylng on the weaker and fallen in one continuous cycle. eBoyce Young, '14. LOIST DETERMINATION. TTThis has simply got to take the prize? Lois said to herself, as she sat hemstitching an apron b There was to be a fair in Little Rock. A prize had been offered for'the best hemstitched apron and Lois Mattison was trying for it. The money was to help pay her expenses in high SchooL , At last the day of exhibit arrived and among the little white aprons might be seen the one Lois had worked. Her heart sank as the prize was awarded to one of her schoolmates. Leaving the fairgrounds she took the street which went by the school house. Two months before this, she was a very happy girl as she passed over the same road, for then she had just com- pleted the eighth grade and had prospects of entering high school. But now owing to her mothefs failing health and her fath-efs limited incomeall hope must be given up unless she could earn her own way. When she reached home, great was her surprise to find her parents preparing for a trip to Colorado. The doctor had been there that afternoon and said that Mrs. Matteson must have a Change of climate. Arrangements had been made for Lois to work for her board at Mrs. Larkins . KTI might as well make the best of it? thought Lois,.when she received the news. So without a grumble she took up her abode at Mrs. Larkin's. Miss Olson, a stenographer, who copied lectures on the typewriter after her office hours, was boarding there. She and Lois became intimate friends. Lo1s never grew tired of watching the stenographens busy fangers as they flew over the keys. Miss Olson, seelng what an. 1ntelh- gent girl she was, taught her how to write on the naachme. TTOh Lois, what on earth shall I do Pd cried Miss Olson as She came rushing into the room one evening. TtProfessor Law- rence wants this lecture finished by Wednesday. I am afra1d I candt do it' unless I catch a few minutes in the morning. To- morrow evening I have other work? . . The weary fingers were still at work when L015 sald good- night. But Miss Olson overslept in the mornmg and had to hurry off to the office without a moment at the typewrlter. . As soon as she had left the house, Lois went to the maehlne. Her heart leaped wildly at the step she was taking; even 1f she did fail the 'only thing would be the waste of paper,abut she was not going to fail. She had already told her plans to Mrs. Larkin; who relieved her of her duties for the forenoon. By half-past eleven, the manuscript was finished. Lois ran to help her mistress with dinner then hurried back to the library to i1 . ,3 await Miss Olsorfs return. When the young lady entered, she did not notice Lois. She. 4,4 , a went directly to the machine and began turning through ihe 4 :371 sheets of the manuscript, 11Why-ewhy4L-but just then she ;, i, caught a glimpse of Lois, who was watching her. 319131,... 11My dear girlie? cried Miss Olson throwing her a1 ms $5111 1 around the slender figure, 111 didrft know you could copy so VR e11. 14,.771 4 I shouldnit know the difference between your work and my a own? 1: 3-. After this Lois made great plans and one day she eonf.ded them to Miss Olson. ttD-o you ever have more copying than you 1 can do ?11 Lois asked. , i1 1tYes, indeed. Only this morning I had to refuse--there, why didrft I think of you? You could do it? 110, wouldn1t that be jollyV, cried Lois as she gave Miss w. 3 Olson a loving hug.

Howard Daniel, a young man of twenty-one and an employee of the Chicago Imperial Furniture Company, sat with his feet upon the littered pine table that served him for a bookkeeperis desk, as it had served a half dozen predecessors. With chest Collasped and Chin drawn in, failure was plainly written upon a face lengthened by extreme dejection. The droop at the corner of his mouth and the tired look about his eyes marked one whose enthusiasm and ambition were all gone. The clock on the roof of the Herald Building was just strik- ing twelve and the sound was carried far in the clear atmosphere, despite the clangor of cable'cars, the rumble of wheels and the multifarius noises that made this part of the city a bedlam at the-noon hour. Hetknew that his employer would soon be in, as it was his custom to look into the office before he went out for luncheon. Howard much preferred not to see him today, as he had been fifteen minutes late that morning, on account of a street car delay,' and he knew by the way Mr. Herrington had glanced at him that there was a reprimand in store. 7 When Mr. Herrington came in, he was very angry and threatened to give Howard his wages and discharge him; then he decided to give the boy,,just one more trial. Mr. Herrington was a tall, heavy set man with slight drooped V shoulders and a broad furrow-ed forehead which indicated worry and responsibility, that had not improved his irritable disposi- tion. Heavy, shaggy eyebrows almost concealed his stern, deep- set eyes, while a square, firmly set jaw gave him an appearance, which would indicate to a stranger that it would not do to thwart his wishes. Howard was not the only one who found it hard to please him; for he was a man who cared for nothing but money. It was i this miserly spirit that caused him to fail to provide the usual conveniences in his office and in all departments of the store where his employees were at work. Mlany men had left at dif- ferent times and new ones had taken their places; but Howard formed a resolution that he would stay by his work as long as possible; for, in spite of all, he rather liked the old man; This noon Howard ate the luncheon which he did not care for; and as he wasv'alone in the office, he sat with his elbows on his knees and his Chin in his hands thinking of the past. He thought of the day his last parent had died, leaving him, a lad of ten years, to be cast out into the world alone. He also thought of the time when a rich woman had taken him into her home, and had treated him so cruelly, that as soon as he had finished his high school education, whiclr'zWas at the age of sixteen, he had run away. After working hard for money enough to pay the expenses of the! trip, he had come to Chicago in hopesiof bettering his condition. Upon arriving he had found employ- ment with the Imperial Furniture Company. Through several years of toil and many difficulties, he had worked his way up from coal carrierfto bookkeeper and cashier. After thinking all this over, he straightened himself up and went to his work with a renewed determination to satisfy his employer. He took from his pocket the picture of his mother and placed it on the desk in front of him. He thought he might endure his work better with her beautiful face before him. It was some time before Mr. Herrington returned; and as usual, he came in raving aboutithe work in the office. Paying 1:3 heed to his employeris anger, Howard worked away, at his desk while the sun7s rays shining upon his motheris picture made it look more beautiful than ever. Mr. Hefrington walked up and down the. room with his hands in his pockets and his head down. Presently he walked toward Howardis desk to give him some instructions concerning the afternoons work; but all at once; he stopped abruptly. He stood there a full minute before Howard looked up. When he did so he was. astonished to see a look of half wonder, half fright upon his employeris face. Mr. Herringtons eyes had fallen on the picture and. quickly taking it in his hands he directed such a volley of excited questions at Howard that it was several seconds before he made any effort to answer. .llThat is my mother, who died when I was ten years old? said Howard, llbut Why are you so interested about her ?,i illnterestedPii he roared. iWNere you her only child? llYesW reolied Howard. llFortunately there were no more to i be cast out into the world alone? l37011 are my sisters only child? he exclaimed. liI received news that she was dead years ago. Why did I not'hear that she had left a son ?L' ' WWhat ?li cried. Howard astonished. llDo you mean to tell me that you are myimotheris only brother, who left the old home in England, while quite young and, was. never heard of' again ?,i iSad, but true? he exclaimed lowering his head, and the old man 5 eyes were d1m. w1th tears for the first time in years. After he had Cleared his throat and could speak clearly, he exclaimed, leou shall be my son Vi education.- These four years were years of changes for both .e uncle'and nephew. 'Mr. Herrington having found some one to carefor, was no longer a hard-hearted mtiser, but a broad-minded kind-hearted man. Howard became a stout, broad-shouldered fellow, who was not afraid to look the world in the face and who took his full share of the joys of lifeaunlike the office boy of years ago. -Reta Donovan, '13. ROBERTIS VICTORY. llDonit hand that composition in, Robert? said Mr. Caswell, the English, teacher in the Nineroclz; High School. llIt lacks unity, punctuation and everything else? This was the fourth time that Robert Huxley had attempted to write his composition. He was disgusted with life in general, llIf it were not for losing that fifteen per cent in English, I would not write a scratch? he thought. Robert went home that evening a most discouraged and dis- gusted boy. He had been called down in geometry class and placed at the foot; consequently, his name had been removed from the roll of honor. His Caesar was three days behind, and in general history, he had made a grade of sixty-three. He had been discharged from the track team by Mr. Brice, the coach, because of his poor work. But in spite of all these discourage- ernents, before he had reached home he had made a resolution that he would not go to the pool-room in the evenings; but, would stay at home and study. With this resolution the gloom seemed to be lifted and he continued his reflections, le deter- mined that I will succeed though I am starting in late? Robert ate his supper and after the meal, to the astonishment of hispare'nts as well as of his smaller brother and sisters, he began to study. He first took up his Caesar which he easily translated; then he spent the remainder of the evening on gen- eral history. After a good nights rest he merrily went about his chores and then prepared his geometry lesson. On the way to school he met John Bryan, with whom he had often contested in games of pool and billiards. WVhy wernit you down at the pool-room last night ?,, asked his chum. III had to get my lessons? replied Robert. His friend thought him a joke and immediately began'to laugh boisterously. At this Robert was filled with indignation and asked, llWhatis wrong with that ?l, . As a reply John asked, llWhatis the use of studying at home? HYou can get better lessonsf said Robert; and John know- ing this to be true, immediately changed the conversation and the boys went on their way. That morning when Robert went to English class and recited his lesson well, he astonished both his classmates and his instruc- tor. He did unusually well in Caesar, and to the envy of many made the head of the class in geometry. The afternoon rec1ta- tions were equally successful. Conversations cbuld be heard among the pupils about the great change in the boy. til wonder how Robert got such a good grade in geometry 0W said Harriette Brown to Florence Bradford. hHe couldnit have cheatein ' iiOh no? replied Florence, iiheis honest in whatever he does. 111 say that much for him? itHo-w can he have changed so suddenly ?,i asked Harriett. til think he must have studied his lesson? was the reply. After school Robert went out to the field where the DUJ'U were practicing for a meet that was to take place between the Ninerock school and that of Lemon. Mr. Brice on seeing him coming, approached, and said angrily, Don't you remember that I discharged you 6V ' itYe-esfi stammered Robert. . iiLet me warn you, Huxley if you don't leave the field there'll be trouble? Though somewhat disappointed, Robert went back to the dressing room. Here he met Andrew Newcastle, who was a warm friend of his. ttWhatis the matterWi asked Andre? . Robert told of his experience with Mr. Brice, whereupon Andrew replied, mfoo bad. When that Brice gets hold of a fel- low there,s no getting around him. He's a hard proposition. iWVouldnit care if it wasnt for loosini practicef said Robert deiectedlv. nPractice somewhere else; ? replied Andrew. iiGuess I will, I can run at least? said Robert brightening, iTll try the mile? . ' WVhere do you want to run: down the street to Richard- son's and back? asked his chum, dThat's half a mile from here; ii1 was thinking of going to the mill and back,' replied Rob- ert. hIs that all right? i ttYes; I'll time you.U So Robert went down to the crosswalk with his friend anil prepared for the run. The signal being given Andrew pressed his stop watch and away Robert went. Andrew saw that some of the boys on the track had stopped and were watching him run lightly down the road. Soon he was coming back and as he pass? ed the cross-walk, Andrew snapped the watch. HFive minutes and seventeen seconds? he cried, Hthe record of Ninerock, we'll sure beat Lemon now. Pretty good old boyf and he slapped him on the back. ' Well pleased with this attempt, Robert returned to the dress- ing room. Everyday Robertis lessons were recited withxequal success. He became popular with his schoolmates. When the boy who was president of the class was compelled to leave schoOl on ac- count of poor health, Robert was chosen in his place. Even after he had received these honors and had made up his back work, Mr. Brice would not allow- him on the track-team., to the disgust of many Of the boys. The time arrived when the Ninerock team was to meet heir rival upon the home field. On the great day large crowds assembled long before the'time of the meet and waited impa- tiently'for the events .to begin. While going to the field John Bryan was talking to the coach and the captain. The latter said, . lKWhen I saw the runners of Lemon this morning I concluded that we were as good as beaten. They say Scott makes the mile in five minutes and nineteen seconds? llTheyire beat to a frazzle in running? said John, llRobert Huxley made the mile in five seventeen? llWhat Vi exclaimed er. Brice amazed, llSurely thatis not so V llCertainlyf said John, llwhile I was practicing I saw him coming in, and heard Andrew Newcastle announce the time? llThere must have been something wrong with his watch? said Mr. Brice. llHowever we can let him run, though he donit deserve it. . III see him over there now? said John. llGo and tell him to geton his track suit and come to the field and be quick about itfi said Mr. Brice. John soon reached Robert and exclaimed, llGood news! Mr. Brice says you can run so get into your suit. Welve got to i J, Wln Robert quickly put on his suit, and as he entered the field, he met Mr. Brice, who said, llGuess I can try you; go in and take a restfi The events soon began with the throwing of the hammer and the discus, in both of which Lemon was the superior. After these came the pole-vault, Williams of the Ninerock team win- ning. The next event was the broad jump in which Lem0n was Victorious. Ninerock won all the high-jumps and sprints, while Lemon was the better in the weights. Then came the last and banner event of the meet. As the score was a tie this would decide the contest. Huxley and Jen- nings were to run for Ninerock while Scott and lVIaile were the contestants for Lemon. The crowd waited impatiently for the runners to start. Soon they took their positions. llOn your mark? announced the starter. llGet set? The pistol cracked and the runners started. Scott and Jennings commenced to run briskly, while Maile ran close behind. But Robert began at a -moderate pace. After the runners had turned the last? quarter he gradnally increased his speed and slowly overtook Maile and Scott, As they neared the finish, he made the final burst and breasted the tape with Scott five yards behind. ' The high school yelled and the crowd went wild. Mr. Brice approached Robert and said, llM'y lad ltwas you who decided the meet, and more than this you have won the state championship for Ninerockf, It was Robertls Victory. -Marteli Mickey,-l13. - tttELEVENTH ENGLISH COURTSHIP.

Upon the race track in full view, Two athletes whom the boys all knew, Were 0n the mark for a quarter mile. The boys stood smiling all the while, Professor Mickey was short and fat, But looked quite fierce without a hat; Professor Scullen, though slim and short, Nevertheless, Was quite a sport. With his head erect and his chin in air He stood there twisting his curly hair. When sternly commanded to llget set? They both looked iround in feverish sweat. Were they right or wrong now, neither knew; And both were trembling from head to shoe. At the pistol shot, they both did start With palpitatiovn 0f the heart; Mickey took the inner track, Scullen followed at his back, Mickey confident all the while Thinking he could run a mile. Indeed, he set a break-neck pace Intent on staying through the race. As he was not used to this exercise, The initial sprint was quite unwise. Mr. Scullen, though slim and short, Was an athlete of no mean sort, And while the bovs all ,round did crow, He, running close behind, did know That Miekeyis wind was going fast, And not much longer would he last. So, when he. saw his wind was short, Past him ran the slender snort, And when he heard a smallboy yell, liRah! Rah! Scullen! thatis done well Y, He started forward like a deer, Leaving the heavyweight in the rear. Soon Mickey, running far behind, 4 Saw that he must use his mind. To stop would be a bad disgrace,- Far worse than losing 0f the race:- So carefully he kicked off a shoe As he saw nothing else to do. The short man won the race at last, The time was two-to-a - fast.

School opened last September with an enrollment of about w 1' fifty students, who have made the past year one of the most :v w prosperous in the annals of Junction City High School. Our Altl'ough our studentbody is not so numerous as that a Student of some High Schools sending us exchanges, school a. 3 Body spirit runs high, and this is what has made our high ; school grow in fame so rapidly during the last three years. Our student body is well organized, the meetings being conducted strictly according to Parliamentary Law; while the m' assembly is run largely on the self-govemment plan, which we' l believe to be the best ever established in high schools and col- i lEges. . i 7 The Senior Class knowing that they would soon leave the r:? m High School, never to return as students, felt THE as though they should leave something with SENIOR the School as a token of their love for it; and that ?.zf CLOCK their deeds might not vanish from the memory 5:1 of those to be. it About the middle of March they presented the School. with a fine large clock which is now fixed high in the front of the .Assembly Hall where it watches as a sentinel over the whole room. ' It is a very beautiful timepiece. The figures lll9lll, are en- graved in gold on the lower part, adding greatly to its attractive- ness. We feel certain that no one in years to come can look at the old clock, with the deep lines on its face caused by so many years of worry as it faithfully watches the students at their work without instantly recalling to memory that Senior class of 1911. llThere it stands by night and day- Ticking, ticking time away.

We greatly appreciate their kindness and in a few years they will see the results of their generosity. About three dozen of the best plants obtainable were set out about the premises. w: If a high school puts out a good annual it must have the support of the students. Every student must be a booster and boost with all his might. Not only must he support . Be a the paper, but patronize our advertisers, they are the Booster. real backers of the paper.- If you want to kill the annual do not patronize our advertisers; or, if you go into an adv-ertisefs store, tell him you saw his ad in the Juneo- Ed, bother him all you can; then go across the street and buy from a non-advertiser. This will make him good and hot under the collar and you may be sure he will not patronize us next year. ' . Before you go shopping, if you are not sure who our adver- users are, take your Junco-Ed and look through the list of adver- tisers. Then go down to their store and make your purchase; but dorft forget to tell them you saw their ad in the Junco-Ed. It will please them; it will please us. Business for them means business for us. .ril' 50 x : OIETY On the evening of October 14th, the annual Freshman recep-t tion was given in honor of the class of 1914. . The president of the Student Body gave an address of wel? come, followed by a response by Mable Gadke, ,14. The remain- der 0f the evening was, spent in playing games and singing songs. Light refreshments consisting of bananas, cream and cake were served. On the4th of October the freshmen met at the home of their chaperone, Mrs. Mickey, to make their ,14 pennant. All were kept busy and soon the beautiful garnet and steel gray pennant was completed. The boys then gave several iiear-splitting yellsh and sang a few songs, after which refreshments were served. The guests departed assuring the hostess that they had spent a, most enjoyable evening. . On the 12th of October, 1910, seven of the eight members of the Junior class assembled at the home of Mr. Carey and Miss Katie Stromte for the purpose of making their cardinal and white pennant. The students of the high school learned of the suc- cess of their efforts in making pennants the next morning by the, display of the ,12 pennant 0n the wall of the assembly hall. Refreshments were served at rather a late hour and the guests departed after having ispent a most enjoyable evening. Those present were Misses Bertha Harpole, Agnes Laing, Lois Parks, Katie Strome and Messrs. Ralph Jackson, William Perman, Carey Strome and the class chaprone, Miss Ethel Shupe. A Military Carnival was given by the students of J. C. H. S. in the high school building on the evening of November 8th. T he program was as follows: SongaTenting Tonight .......... . .

Later, a typical battle- field supper, consisting of baked beans, hard. tack and coffee, was served in the attic. In the various rooms were several beau- tifully decorated booths. Among them were the Canteen Tent where candy, peanuts and punch were served, and the Quarter- masteris Tent where pennants and novelties of all kinds could be bought. The carnival proved to be a success financially as well as in other ways, for the sum of $60.50 was cleared for the student- body treasury. , a i . On the evening of November 11th, the Senior Class gave a reception to the Juniors and the faculty, at the High School, building. The time was pleasantly spent in singing songs, and playing games. Several interesting speeches were also made by those present. Refreshments were then served. Those present were, Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Mickey, Mr. Scullen, Lois Parks, Willie Perman, Bertha Harpole, Herbert Thom, Audrey Howard and Helen Volck. 3' A farewell surprise party was given at the home of Miss VVinnona Strome on the 20th of October, in honor of Miss Tresa PurkerS-Ion. She had been-in the grades with the classof 1914 several years, but remained in the high school only a short time. All of her schoolmates were sorry to see Miss T'resa leave. November the eighteenth is a date which will long be remem- bered by the Freshmen. On that evening, Mrs. A. K. Mickey gave the Freshmen a reception at her home. Many pleasant , games were indulged in, after which refreshments were served. The affair was truly a social success and the guests departed full of praise for their hostess as an entertainer. ' The twenty-third of December being the Friday before Chrlstmas, the students of the High School decided to have a 5grab bag? consequently, every one was requested to bringr something costing not less than five cents. A program com-' mittee wastappointed to make up a short program. Every one ii 1,33 w I ,r. K H..- I t 3! .K .xif .. ii f wth p: l XVI. . x'gljii I 1,; 2.1. was. called on for something. Those who were asked to speak and failed were given something very appropriate to read. Those who had the ability to sing or play were given opportunity to do so. After this each student, beginning with the fresnmen, grabbed in the sack and drew some little article such as a tin Whlstle, rubber doll, etc. T J. C...H; S. gavega reception to the boys, basket ball team of CreSwelliat the 'iHighb-Sehool building; after the game. 021 Taiw- ary 13th., 1911. A few favorite songs were sung by both schools and in general, a Vj'ery pleasant eveninglwas spent. y ,, , x .f. A reception was given by the freshman Class in honor of the .sub-freshmen, Thelma Hughes, Hollie XLeathers, Frank Ed- wards and Robert McFadden at the home of their president, Miss Goldiiz'iJTracer, on the evening of Febrraary'grd. The even- ing was speiito'izn playing games and the freshmen felt that they Lad properlywintroduced the sub-freshmen into the High School. 1' a On VVashingtonE birthday the Latin classes decided to re- treat to Milletfs Lake for a quiet afternoon. Invitations extend- ed to all that had taken Latin in J. C. H. S. this year. The in- terest in that grand old language was shown by the number that were present. Promptly at one o'clock ,the party started out. The walk was enlivened, by jokes and snatches of song which tisuaIIy characterize trips of this kind. Upon arriving at the lake, boats were found in waiting, among them, a gasoline launch. The time Was spent in boat-riding and fishing talthough nothing was caught but coldsy. Orle of the most inter- esting features of the afternoon was a Latin game. Everyone was given a small bag of beans. Then each was at 11berty to pronounce to another an English word which he must give in Latin or else forfeit a beam, The object was to see who could win the most beans. The Championship was hotly contested by Miss Soohia Peterson and Mr. Bishop Moorhead. Mr. Moor- head won by a small majority of beans. He received as a tro- phV, a silver stamp box. At five delock the crowd started home- wadrd with their Latin vocabularies wonderfully increased. .All that attended declare that a Latin picnic is certainly an enjoy- able affair and Wish that Washingtonis birthday would come oftener than once a year, Early in the school year, the student body voted that J. C. H. S. should again enter the Oregon High School Debating League. Accordingly, on the evening of Decembers and 6., a tryout debate, in which twenty-four Of our students took part, was held in the Assembly Hall. On both evenings the ques- tions discussed were problems of public interest and were well handled by the speakers. The six chosen were: Willie Perman, Audrey Howard, Herbert Thom, Helen Volck, Martel Mickey, and Blanche Clark, with Ejner Hentze and Carey Strome, sub- stitutes. Eugene-Tunction City Debate. On Friday evening, Tanuary 20, the league debate between Eugene and Junction'High Schools was held in the Assembly Hall at this place. The question discussed was, tiResolved, That the immigration into the United States should be further re- stricted by educational qualifications. Eugene supported the negative, while Junction upheld the affirmative, the decision being unanimous in favor of the home team. The speakers of the visiting team were James McCallum, Harold Humburt and Henry Chesem: the home team, Herbert Thom, Audrey Howard and Ejner Hentze. . Lebanon-Junction City Debate. Oh the same evening that the Eugene-Junction debate was held 1n Junction our negative team debated the Lebanon High School trio, 0n the same question, in their city. The teams were as follows: Negative: Willie Perman, Martel Mickey and Helen Volck. The decision was awarded to the Lebanon speak- ers. When the points. in the triangle were summed up, Lebanon stood first, Junction second and Eugene third. Thus our debat- ing career came to a close for this year. KR My, ,AJ'! DEBATINC TEAM Standing: H. Thom, Prof. Mickey Qtoachx M. Mickey, E. Hentze and Wm. Perman Sitting, A. Howard and H. Volck Although a new school, Junction City High has always ta'fen an active part in all branches Of athletics, and has generally finished the season with a good record. Havingonly a few students from which to choose for the different athletic branches we are handicapped to a great extent, but, the spirit which the contestants for the honors display, has always made this hitth school prominent even with schools of much larger attendance. Football and basket ball were the sports m0?t actively eu- gaged in this season, but a track team was established later in the'season, which, judging from the way the athletes take hold; will be the main forte of our high school in the future. FOOTBALL. Football material was rather scarce this. year, especially in the heavy-weight line, but a team was deveIOped from the tryois and proved to be one which finished the season with a record to be proud of considering the weight of the diffei'ent teams they bwent up against? bZekeh Butler was chosen cap-. tain, while William Perman, the clever quarter-back of several seasons, was the one selected to show the boys how to do it. The following is the line-up.. which took part in the different games: - Jensen .................................... REL .............................. C. Strome Butler .................................... RTL .............................. G. Strome Studley ................................. RGL ....................................... Burns Thom ............................................ C--s .............................. Harpole ............................ RHBL ................... Thompson Flint and Perman .........

The season opened October 15, on our own'gridiron iwith -a game against the high school boys of Brownsville, our boys be- ingdefeated by the large score stated above. The Brownsville team was composed of heavier players and all of them were more experienced, that being the main reason for the large score. R. Jackson ,the husky fullback was easily the star for Junction. This game was the first for most of our boys and the defeat was worth the price in experience. Crestwell, o; J. C. H, S., 43. The second game was played at Creswell on Tovember 5, with the high school of that place. The game was very one- sided as the above score would indicate, our boys playing clever ball at all times ,while .the' Creswell boys were the inexperienced ones th1s time. Prof. Baker's boys were a very gentlemanly lot, showing our boys a fine time during their stay, while the girls also contributed their part in the entertainment. Springiield, 10; J. C. H. S., o. The game with Springfield on Noevmber 8th, resulted in another defeat for the garnet and lemon. The Springfield boys partly redeeming themselves for the overwhelming defeat suf- fered at our hands the year before. 'The game was very hard fought, notwithstanding the score, which at the end of the first half stood 6 to o in favor of the Vl3!ltOfS. In the second half they rolled up ten more tallies, making their total score sixteen. Carey Strome was the bright shining light for J. C. H. S., mak- ing several long runs and playing a spectacular game straight through. Creswell, 6; J. C. H.. S., 40. The return game with the Creswell boys was played at this place on November 19th. Our young hopefuls again proved their superiority over the upper valley bunch, and beat them by a score almost as large as the previous one. Creswellls six points were made by their half-back, who suc- ceeded in pulling off a long run and then successfully kicking the goal. Thompson, the young heavyweight, played a keen game on our side, being in the game at all stages. Harpole also contributed several long runs, also playing a good offenswe game. Rivervieaw, 0-; J. C. H. S., 6. The last game of the season was played at thisolace Decein- ber 3rd, between our boys and the Riverwew Agric s. The Vis- itors were there strong on the avoirdupoiis, but rather- short on wind and practice, putting up a great game at all tlmes. Junction had several chances to score, but only succeeded in making one touch-down, a long run being made by Quarter- back, Flint. 2 And thus closeth the season. mt H A le. 0 m. a H. u wB ms. 6 In Tm. ev,,H M$m m; .H m? me.

Washburne permitted the use of the rink as a hall. A good crowd was there on every practice night and both a boys and a girls' team were organized. XVilliam Per- man was Chosen captain of the former. The following players were finally selected to represent our high school: . Perman .................................

RFL ........................................... Hays SubSeTracer and Harpole. Ciottage Grove, 32; J. C. H. S., 8. The opening game was played at this place on the night of; December 16th, with the Cottage Grove High School. Our team did as well as could be expected since they were playing against a team. that had played together several years and all the players were seasoned to the game. Perman was the clever one for Junction while Lewis of Cot- tage Grove was a shark when it came to throwing baskets. Patterson Athletic Club, 23; J. C. H. S., 16. On December 23rd the Patterson Athletic Club of Eugene, played a game against our second team and succeeded in defeat- ing them in a hard fought game, by the score of 23 to 16. The first half was all in favor of the visitors, but in the sec- ond half the score evened to a great extent, several baskets be- ing thrown by Thompson and Harpole. The Athletic Club team was composed of clever players, two Eugene High players being among them, but our boys showed them a good game, and, if the time had continued much longer, the score would have been reversed. Creswell H. S., 10; J. C. H. S., 43. On January 13th, the Creswell High School brought down their quintette and played us a good game, but were defeated by the above score. The game was really not so one-suled as the score wOuld indicate; the reason for the Creswell boys, defeat being mfainly their inexperience, also they were unused to play- ing in a hall so large as ours. . . They brought a large crowd of their co-ed fans w1th them and they certainly knew how to root. They were entertamed at the high school after the game. Creswell H. S., 12; J. C. H. S., 22. + The return game was. played at Creswell on January 28.11. The garnet and lemon wearers again being v1ctor1ous. The felir- inine fans of that place were again there strong on the rootmg. Perman was the one least affected by the fair ones and played a r i ht throu h. .

A girls' basket ball team was again organized this year. Miss Ruth Tower being elected captain and Prof. Scullen chosen as coach. There were about fifteen tried out for the team and out of this number a fast little quintette was chosen. There was only one game played this season as it was impossible to sign up with the other schools, either on account of their having cold feet or the lack of a team. -The team chosen lined up as follows: Tower Wm, ..........................

The school team came out With the long end of a nine to 'five score; the game was hard foug1.t and exceedingly interesting for the large crowd present. Our girls played a fine game straight through and by the form which they showed it could easily be seen that they composed the best team so far produced in the school. .

A track team was organized this spring as a new venture in the athletic field. A large squad entered and active practice is , being carried on. Atrack meet was held between the Senior-Sophomore vs. Freshmen-Junior Classes in which the former scored 56 points to their opponents 39. No records were broken in this meet, but it was plain to be seen that the J. C. H. S. has talent in most of the lines. Perman proved the big point-winner for the losers, scoring 29 while Thom finished a total of 21, the highest on the winning side. The points stood as follows: iI4--,12 ,13-,II.

Mr. Strome, in trouble no doubt Picked up his chair, then gazed all about, With his face a little red, He turned about and said, lth say, where shall I sit W The teacher was about to let it pass When one of the prettiest girls of the class Whispered rather sweet, llBetter sit in your seatf, Mr. Strome was somewhat beat Quickly, flushing with the heat, He sat down, staring at his feet.-J.

Freshmen all try to help the school, Ready to work, and not, to rule, Eager to learn and willing to work, Still stepping along and will not shirk; Hesitating never to do what they may, Making fun of all who try to play, Each trying to make up the study they lack, Never taking chances of going back.-W. 5.314. l fhe VVhizzer, Coburg, Oregon-You have a very nice little monthly, considering the size of your school. Your Liter- ary department is good, but the paper is ruined by so many silly Squibbs. Judging from the contents itThe Kisserli would be a much more appropriate name. We are also in receipt of the December llCardinalli L. H. Se The contents are good, but it seems too small for such a large school. ltThe News? Eugene, Oregon, is one of our regular exchang- es. An occasional cut would add greatly to the attractiveness of the paper. ilThe Whirlwind? Albany High School. An excellent paper throughout. One of our best exchanges. The February llCardiualii contains some good stories, espe- cially KiThe Triumph of Labor? Which is above the average. The Lincoln quintette is also very funny. liThe Umpquaf Roseburg High School, is an excellent paper abounding in good cuts throughout. The bum cover demgu and poor paper used ruin the attractiveness of the annual. GRADE DEPARTM EN'T. A description of the Junction City High School would be incomplete without the grade department, for much of the suc-- i cess of the high school is dependent on the kind of foundation laid in the elementary courses. Realizing that many of our pupils will never get beyond this department, the aim of the Board has always been to make it the best. None but experienced teachers are employed. Last year the interior of the Central school building was re- modeled, the two upstairs rooms. being divided into three class ' rooms, thus giving eight grade rooms including the three rooms on the lower floor of the Washburn building. , Realizing the importance of accuracy and thoroughness in preparation, the aim has been to hold pupils in each grade until they are well qualified before passing them on. With one grade in each room and- classes ranging from twenty-three to thirty- five to each teacher we believe that pupils from any department will Compare favorably with those from any other school in the state. Daily supervision is maintained, the aim being to have the essentials presented in such order as to develop each sub- ject in its logical sequence. A greater per centsof our eighth grade graduates have enterh ed the high school than is reported in any other school in the valley. Twenty-two out of the tw'enty-four of last year,s class entered High School last fall while the other two intend to take up advanced work during the coming year. The Grade Teachers. The teachers in this department are, with the exception of the fourth grade, the same corps as that of last year. The whole teaching force last year being re-employed, but as Mr. Baker, principal of the high school, accepted the positiOn of principal of the Creswell schools, his wife, 3.: teacher of the fourth grade re- s1gned also. The Board chose as her successor, M'iss Lucile Roe, who came well recommended as a teacher from Minnesota. She has fnlfilled our expectations as teacher in this grade. The whole teaching force in the grades as it now stands has been re-em- ployed for the coming year as follows: Eighth grade, Maude Mlckey: seventh grade, Mae Tracer; sixth grade, Edith Ors- well; fifth grade, Ethel Shupe; fourth grade, Lucile Roe; third grade, Mary B. Underwood; second grade, Mabel Hays; first grade, Maude Hays. i GRADE TEACHERS CUSS THE EDITOR. If you donlt like the way this book is run, Cuss the Editor.
