Miller Soren Jensen, Chairman Jesse Soverns 31 unriinn Glity 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 division on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad, and has thelve daily passenger trains, besides many freight trains. The company has built the largest storage oil tank in the valley at this piont. They have here two large stock yards, a pumping station with steel supply tanks and stand pipe. Besides this, the Oregon Electric Railway is building through the town. An up-to-date depot will be built, and cars will be run- ning by the end of the year. This will not only bp a great conve- uience to the town, but is sure to make it develop rapidly in the fu- ture, as the surrounding country includes one of the most fertile sections of the Willamette Valley. Grain of all kinds and fruits of all varieties are profitably raised, and Junction City is the largest shipping point of live stock in the valley except Portland. we have two grain elevators, one flour mill, an excelsior fac- tory, two lumber yards, three cream stations-thus insuring the top price for our dairy products; two first class hotels, besides numerous boarding houses; one steam fruit dryer; a solid banking institution and several general merchandise stores; two hardware stores, etc., among our business establishments. And all other trades and pro- fessions are equally well represented. Our Commercial Club and Womanls Auxiliary each has a mem- bership of citizens who are doing and have already done much, not only for the improvement of our town, but for the surrounding country as well. And it has been principally through their influence that the many civic improvements have been made within the last three years. Cement sidewalks and curbings have been built along the main business and residence streets of the city, and further street improve- ments are under way. Bonds have been sold and the contract let for twelve blocks of hard surface pavement, which will be completed by the middle of the summer. Many m'odern residences have been built during the last year, and several are now under construction, with good prospects for a 8 unm r L: tab h We m izswnnambi: .

Among the new business houses which will be erected is a large fire-proof bank building to be put up by the Farmers and Merchants Bank of the city. It will be modern and upeto-date in every detail and a valuable asset to our city. Our educational and religious institutions are of the best. We have one large public school building, and a splendid high school building, the lowed hoor of which is being used for grade purposes. A .Vote has recently been cast in favor of uniting Junction and six surrounding districts into a Union High School District, the building for which will be constructed at this place. The union of these districts represents considerable wealth, hence the new building will be of sufficient capacity to ace commodate the High School students for this vicinity for years to come. . This building will be ready for occupancy by the time school opens next fall. Equipped thus, Junction City can boast of as good educational facilities as can be found anywhere. Our churches are four in number, namely: Methodist Episcopal, South Methodist, Christian and Danish Evangelical. We also have a large number of fraternal orders and numerous beneficiary societies. There are no saloons in Junction City, these having been voted out in 1905. People settling in this place thereby escape the evil which is now prevalent in larger cities. Heads of families can come here and rear their children without fear, as the moral conditions are of the best. Though Junction City is not as large as some other towns of the valley, 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. t r g 5 W.

S. trip T0 the land of Graduation. When we left the hLand of Eighth Grade? On our gallant ship named hClassf We went in the storm of exams, Through which we were forced to pass. It was then we lost our compass, Called the guide, WtMiss Colvin,s Caref, In the sea of Education We must wander, here ahd there. iIt was here some grew discouraged, From our gallant ship they went; Drifting on the lazy current, To the land of Discontent. We whose courage femained with us, Perse'vered and still did fight With the rapid Demand Current, But one day Shrewd cried, A light!

MZ'ZKE'I ' .- ::',;L'i:1 .4 o1 igiatnrg of the $minr 011mm Four years ago a class of twenty-three green Freshmen entered the VVashburne High School, and their names were placed on the record book. Of these, the greater number had graduated from junction City Public Schools. As soon as everyone had settled down to work, the class organized and Chose their class colors, which were black and gold. This was by far the largest Class that had ever entered Junction High, and the 'upperclassmen were ex- ceedingly proud of them. But some were weak and frail, so five gallant barks lost their course 1mid the storms of Ninth Algebra and Grecian History, and iinally drifted out into the busy world. The other eighteen braved the storms and at the end of the year passed with honors. In 1910, when the doors opened again to the waiting students, the Sophomore class numbered elghteen. This class now had lost some of their greenness and bashfulness. Nor were they lacking in class spirit, as is shown by the enthusiastic FreshmaneSophomore declamatory contest and pennant tight fol- lowing, in which the poor Sophomore pennant suffered the most serious consequence and will never again appear in public, as it has some quite serious facial blemishes. Although a very t1studious bunch? this class adopted as their slogan, MAM work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? and the class has enjoyed many good times. Sixteen of this large and fortunate class took the final exam- inations at the end of the year, fourteen bidding fair to become Jun- iors in the following autumn. XVhen the class reassembled at the beginning of the 1910-11 term, the ranks were sadly thinned. Only eight of the Sophomores of the preceding year remained to carry the name of Juniors. To this number was added at mid-year one who had not gone on with the Seniors. These were a sturdy set, and they soon reorganized, LhOSC new colors-cardina1 and whitee-and began at once to make their presence known. Soon, however, three of the number with- 21 one was proud of the Holly Juniorsf as they were called, for they always wore a pleasant smile, even when in the midst of trouble. Now, in 1912, the class boasts of eleven members, by far the largest Class ever graduated from Junction High School. Of this number, only three are of the class of 1908, two of 1907, four of 1909, and two from other schools. These eleven noble Seniors are the idols of the school and are always looked to as an example and guide by the lower-classmen. Yet they are not con- ceited, but remain popular and jolly in spite of their dignity. They are very busy, but nevertheless they manage to look after the Fresh- men once in a while, and are always filled With High School and class spirit. The school will be sorry to lost them and will miss their pleasant faces, but everyone knows that they go to meet honor and glory in the waiting world. What they will do in the future is not certain, but each is re- solved to live up to the class motto, ttDig! drew and left the other six, who remained faithful to the end.

FLORENCE COOLEY There are just thirteen members in the class Of ll3. An un- lucky number, you may think, but we are not at all superstitious. On the other hand, we rather believe that Providence has been most kind in furnishing us so many brilliant and industrious students. In all student body activities, the Juniors have taken an active part. In the Junco-Ed staff we possess the two Chief executives, namely, Roy Tracer as a competent Editor in Chief, and Will Hoppes' as a successful manager. l Ejner Hentze is another prom- inent staff officer, being editor of debate and student body organi- zatlons. In the list of student body ofhcers, we find Helen Ehrmann as Secretary. In debate we made a brilliant showing, having Ejner Hentze as manager and leader Of the affirmative team, and Will Hoppes as leader of the negative. When it comes to athletics, we do not stand in the rear. All our boys are represented in track work-Reetz and Hoppes in foot- ball, Tracer and Hoppes in basketball. In girlsl athletics, more than half of our girls take part, and Helen Ehrmann was Chosen captain of the team. In the Arena, Roy Tracer is President; Will Hoppes, Secre- tary; and Ejner Hentze, Treasurer. We are not entirely without representation in the Hypation Club, as Helen Ehrmann has the honor of being editor and Ruth Tower sergeant-at-arms. l Five of our members were seen behind the footlights in HMer- chant of Venice Up-to-Datefl Ruth Tower made a very handsome and bewitching Portia; Wilbur Reetz took down the house as the 25 Professor; Florence Cooley as Antonids mother; Will Hoppes, a very dignified Duke; and Helen Ehrmann as Mrs. Gobbs, performed 6 ; their parts exceedingly Well. The Juniors will again appear this season in the Junior play, entitled ttThe Little Savage? :1 military play full of life, action and funny complications It is not our intention to stop with laurels we have already gained, but to push ahead with iiExcelsiorii as our motto. QDur QIlaaa When the leaves were turning golden, When the howers had ceased to bloom, Then the pupils commenced crowding In the Junction High School room. Quietly we took our places, And we formed a silent mass, As the Seniors whispered tround us, See the freshest Freshman class. Oh! the time passed on so slowly In those first few weeks of strife, Then our shyness dropped from tround us, And we commenced enjoying life. We heeded not the Seniorst teasing, But the Juniorst taunting cries Made our very heart-beats quicker And our angry passions rise. But our good, forgiving natures Soon would make our anger cool, And before the year was ended We were loved by all the school. 27 a r E33. z: m 3. :93 5.2 3.. a. 302 g: 72: w r. 5g gm 3 .2.

But as the new school term of 1911 began, our ranks were slightly decreased and we were glad to welcome Gladys Wagner, Bertha Stoner, Hobert McFadden, Hollie Leathers, Thelma Hughes and Frank Edwards into our midst as Sophomores. Today our class consists of twenty-one active members, the largest class in the High School. And we bid fair to be the largest class to graduate from J. C. H. 5. As a class we are all heroes in the strife, having on the Juncoe Pd staff Thelma Hughes as society editor, Glen Strome as assistant subscription agent, Holly Leathers as athletic editor, and Hobert McFadden as assistant business manager. In athletics we have some of the stars of the school. In basket- ball, six of our ten boys took part. In football, five of these held prominent places on the team. Two of our girls figured promi- nently in girls, basketball. In the tryout debate, nine of our mem- bers took part, and Thelma Hughes made a place on the debating team. In student body, We have Glen Strome, Treasurer. Early in the year we elected the following officers: Ray Van- thrine, President; Gladys Wagner, Vice President; Glen Strome, Treasurer; Hobert McFadden, Secretary; Harold Burns, Sergeant- at-Arms; Maybelle Gadke, Editor. 112211111111 but that we 11gb School. it see 1 :21111 accomplished 111 722111111 first semester 11111 thought that th 22101111 faithful 01195 11111131115111.1310 d0 111 41911.11 held our 11m 1113: Sam Sheldt.

At the beginning of the first semester there were about twenty- five in our Class, but some thought that they could accomplish more out in the large world; and others have become Sophomores, so now there are about twenty of the faithful ones remaining, who show the other High School students how; to do things. On October 4, 1911, we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: Sam Sheldt, President; Jewel Hays, Sec- retary; Mabel Hanson, Treasurer; Karl Jenson, Sergeant-at-Arms; Mrs. Mickey, Chaperon. We also chose brown and gold for our class colors. There were seventeen of our class who tried out for the de- bating team, and received valuable information from their trial. Miss Thelma Hughes made the team. Although this is just a small portion of what we have done, to tell all would take volumes, so we are going to give the other classes a chance to say something. Freshman Class .m h C n a .1 t a p y H 03112 impatient Olluh The Girls Club was organized in the fall of 1910, under the name of the Girls1 Literary Society. In the fall of 1911 the society took up girls athletics under its supervision, and at the beginning of the second semester Changed the name to the Hypatian Club. The ofhcers of the club are chosen each semester, and this affords those fortunate enough to gain recognition a splendid op- portunity to help in the work of advancing the interests of the school and to gain experience in the management of organizations. The programs of the club are of a nature to be directly 0f ini terest to the members. Part of the time is devoted to Glee Club work, and part to the discussion of topics of literature and current events.

SCULLEN The purpose of organizing the Arena Club was to give the boys of the High School a literary training. To accomplish this, the programs of the meetings have consisted of debates, recitations, prepared speeches, extemporaneous speeches, etc. Last fall the Club conducted a mock trial, which proved to be very amusing, as well as instructive. At hrst debate took the leading part in each program, but they became rather monotonous and greater emphasis is now placed upon current events and reports. Besides literary work, thetclub has managed most of the boys athletics, and is the sole supporter of track work. Last spring the Hypatian Club challenged the Arena Club to a declamation contest. Practically all the boys in the club took part in the tryout for this event. The following boys were chosen to compete with the girls: Willie Permian, Herbert Thom, and Ejner Hentze. The Hypatian was represented by Thelma Hughs, Katie Strome, and Mable Gadke. This contest was held on the evening of june 2, 1911. The discision was given in favor of the boys. aii am 2; a c. a 8 ea $7.5m?

The Octette has practiced faithfully and has been rewarded with suc- cess. The High School and general public have helped to make it such, and we heartily thank them. I ' We feel certain that we have carried out our aims, which are to encourage singing in the High School, to entertain the public and to impress upon the students the value of the accomplishment of singing. We regret the fact, that we lost one of our best singers When Miss Lois Parks went to the University. Although her place was taken by Margerette Young, who gives promise of being one of our best singers. Half of our number will graduate with the class of 1912, but we hope that the organization will continue as one of the High School enterprises and will always be successful in carrying out its work. i ,z i E L 0,78! .'. 0f Ye11ice--,---, Incenior, Captam 01 wealthy gambler- idend and captain V ----..- t I. .- :ilobbs, a servant m i For. an ex-ray pin a . 75h hexress .......

Bassanio is in love with Portia, and is rejected because accord- ing to her father's will, the man who would marry her must choose from three caskets containing Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil examina- dons Antonio, his friend, borrows for him a pony from. Shylock, the gambler, and gives his bond that if the pony is not returned Within a month, a pound of his hair to be cut off nearest the brain will be the forfeit. Bassanio chooses from the caskets and draws the one containing the Caesar examination. Gratiano confesses his love for Por- iials friend, Nerissa, and she promises to marry him in case Portia end Bassanio are successful. When the governess brings the report that the required average has been made, the two couples are made happy and plan for a double wedding. Bassanio in his excitement forgets to return the Caesar pony. Shylock, in love with his rich ward Jessica, asks her to marry him, but she refuses, so he locks her in the house to prevent her seeing her lover, Antonio. She sends Lancelot Gobbo with a note to Antonio. This angers Shyloek and he tells his friend Tubal that Antonids bond is forfeit. Lanclot Gobbo overhears this conversation and tells Portia and Nerissa, who sets to work to outwit Shylock. After the Duke has informed Shylock of the charge, a young judge, sent from Ballario,appears. The case is tried and the sentence is ila pound of Antonids hair is Shylocklsf' On examination of Antoniols head with an ex- i'ay, no brain can be found. Just at that moment, a mouse runs across the floor of the court room. The young judge and the clerk shriek and spring upon chairs, disclosing their indentity, they being Portia and Nerissa. At Antoniols suggestion, the two couple are married on the spot by the Duke 'of Venice. 40 - u-.;r- : 1.-. :w 7 4d,,bx, kw, WW. 0; .mdmwsm mm on 18m; 311 Even mnrth while ?

To end their woes and future fears? To prepare for a life of ease? T0 slip through life? Do as they please? Have these four years been spent for naught? Have they taken an idle draught From the cup of life; from the stream of time, Have these four years been colored wine? For shame to those whom these have been The place in life where ruin begins: Far better had they spent their time By washing plates or feeding swine. For what avail their victories won, If all their time was spent for fun; And they through future life shall go, With nothing accomplished fit to show.

Reetz, 12 In early times it was customary for the child to follow its parents occupation. When the number of vocations increased, there arose the apprentice system to meet the demands of the pro- fessional world. For the last century or more, the industrial world has depended upon this system to produce efficient laborers. But in the last few decades, with the advancement along all mechanical lines the apprentice system has become impracticable. And its work has fallen upon the schools. Already the larger corporations and manufacturers have estab- lished their own industrial schools. But these schools have been a detriment to the general cause of education. Their aims are not to broaden or develop the mind or prepare for citizenship, but only to teach their methods. Thus narrowing the minds of their pupils so that they are capable of doing only one line of work. During the last century it has been the primary aim of our educational system to train for life by means of culture studies. The secondary aim has been to train workers. But in this our education has failed. For is not an individualis work a part of his life? Certainly over one-half of his time is used in industrial pur- suits. In order to produce the most efficient man we must combine the training for life and for work in our public education. In this there is a great demand for state action. By industrial education we mean that education which has for its purpose the acquiring of a body of usable knowledge of greater or less extent, relating to industrial conditions, processes and organ- izations. Also that knowledge which relates to the administrations of industrial affairs; inVolving the gaining of some skill in the use of such knowledge and securing mental, aesthetic and ethical training through the acquisition and use of theknowledge indicated. The reason why secondary education must lead in this industrial movement is because secondary education is gained during the 43 formation period of life. It is this education that really touches Of the entire school population forty per cent attend Should our the masses. high school and only six per cent attend college. L education be for the benefit of the thirtyefour per cent who leave high school for the duties of life, or should it be for the six per cent who attend college? Our present secondary education is a college entrance examination machine. Its finished product is not ' complete without being capped with a college education. Our secondary education must change to meet the demaqu of life, the life of an industrial community, of an industrial world. It must train for faculty and efficiency. Efficiency is needed by the Amer- ican people. We are outclassed and surpassed by more enlightened nations. Our states require industrial training for the sake of their industries and citizenship. It is the industrial efficiency brought about through the medium of the schools that has given Germany her commercial sway. In the last few years she has made sweeping changes in her secondary school system. She has placed her school under the control of the state boards of commerce and trades. In 1901 her secondary schools were thoroughly given over to industrial education. In 1909 her aim of industrial training was to make the matter of instruction directly applicable to industrial life. Germanys second- ary schools have converted her from a poor nation into a rich one. She has the most efficient laborers, manufacturers, scientists, and mathematicians, in the World. This is the product of industrial education. Germany borrowed her industrial system from France and Switzerland. In 1880 France had provided full state legislation for industrial education in her secondary schools. In 1896 these schools wiere placed under the authority of minister of commerce and industry. In the country districts agriculture was studied. In the towns and cities work in the shop was taken up. The secondary schools of Paris are among the wor1d1s best industrial schools. They are better than the average school in France. In 1900 there were over three hundred first class advanced industrial secondary schools in :rance. Today that number'is doubled many times. In Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, and the Scandinavian states, there has been the same marked progress.

' 7 England as early as 1837 provided for industrial education, but did not follow up the movement. In 1860 she again tried to firmly establish industrial training in her school system. This plan did not succeed until 1890, when she provided for it out of her local revenue. Although industrial education has secured quite a hold on Eng- land,s elementary schools, her secondary schools have not made much progress. The United States has not made as marked a progress as the other nations. Only recently has there been state action along this line. Most of these industrial education laws have been of permissive rather than manditory. There is the plea for culture studies and not the basely utilitarian education of industrial train- ing. But already professors of Greek and Latin have admitted that the man trained by industrial education makes the best Citizen in after life. Already industrial education has proved a broader held for expression of ideas than the old time system. Hundreds of formerly ignorant classes are now giving vent to theirifeelings through the medium of industrial training and the products of their hand works. Again constructive handWork is an indispensible means for developing the industrial side of human society. Indus- trial education has an ethical value. Any education that stimulates in the individual a desire for useful activity is ethical in the highest degree. By vocational instruction. many students will be kept in school longer than otherwise, and thus learn more of language, literature, history, and such branches of study as mark human prog- ress and social uplift. The passion for usefulness and service must be combined and fused with the desire for knowledge. The goal in school life must be'useful activity. In order to secure industrial education in our secondary schools, it is not necessary that they be converted into trade schools. But the different phases of indus- trial education must be placed on an equal basis with our college preparatory courses. Among the different branches of industrial training, we have advanced most alongr the lines of agriculture. Hundreds of govern- mental experiment stations, classed under the secondary school de- partment, have been established throughout our land. These schools are carrying the work almost to perfection. Thirteen of the states 45 of the United States require drawing in their secondary courses. Fourteen require domestic science; and five require commercial sub- jects. In 1910 twenty-eight secondary schools offered industrial 1n- struction in their courses. Today over half of the secondary schools have industrial subjects in their curriculum. The Technical High School, of Cleveland, and the Manual Training High School, are good examples of secondary industrial schools. Manual training or arts play an important part in education. It expresses a dual capacity in the system of education, both as to study and as to method. It leads to mastery of materials and in- dustrial processes. Also it leads to new methods of expression in teaching other subjects. These purposes of manual arts have been considered to conflict. But they really harmonize. The end of edu- Tcation can be attained more readily through the employment of manual arts. The present end of education is social efficiency. We mean that each individual must be a productive member of society. Arts answer for this. For the arts tend to create the quick and skillful use of hands. In so far as the educational process can be accellerated and made more thorough through the employment of manual arts, these arts should find a place in our schools. The edu- cative process is one of. gaining experience, directly or indirectly, from the work and experience of others. Direct experience is of the most value. There is no substitute for it. And indirect expe- rience can only be used through direct experience. This first hand experience can only be secured in our schools by industrial educa- tion. Manual arts should supply a place of both matter and method its. our schools. The early educators regarded it as either. Hen- singer believed that the impulse to activity should be used to'lead the man to the avenues of knowledge which would otherwise be closed to him. Fro-ebel emphasized and developed this same thought. Salmon, of Sweden, and Goetze, of Germany, regarded manual arts as purely method. Likewise did Colonel Parker and several child study specialists in England. Industrial training is not a new system of instruction. It is but a phrase of universal education. Every promoter of knowledge believes in universal education. It is only proper that this branch of education should be developed. This is our duty. Ninety per cent of the people of the United States earn their living by indus- trial labor. Industrial education should be a part of the education 46 47 of this ninety per cent ofpur population. We have made our ele- mentary schools universal in regards to pupils. Only a few years more and our high schools will be made universal in respect to in- dustrial work. It is the duty of the state to do this part. In order to make the curriculum universal in regards to subject matter, we must uplift men of all classes in their industries. ner-.A.. i. t. .,.Hm.,e HNA- .M M... ii mmhwu-wau.

Where? On the mighty highway to the grave, Speeding forward with time in its flight, Stopped at a crossroad, groping for light. Thus a six-foot, broad-shouldered figure stood over one of the many mighty creations of Godewith what as a foundation, ahi-e art of man. The hrst warm rays of sunshine on a Sunday of early spring shone with sadness upon a well constructed man. Features bold, but regular; piercing steel-gray eyes, overshadowed with heavy dark brows and long black lashes. Thick black hair waved over a high forehead. A fine-formed month, bordered on either side by dimples, added a smiling but bold appearance to the countenance. His garments were of the best tailor make, in perfect harmony with the handsome lines of his figure. This was Dan Martin, a farmeris son, who four years before had been the joke of his school: the scoff of his class. But what could have Changed this rustic, awkward country lad, who might have been seen upon the street corner with a cigarette in one side of his mouth? Could this be the boisterous boy who was the torment of his mother, and the good for nothing of his father? Could this be the young man wha might now be seen during his vacations work- ing energetically upon his fatheris farmt Yes, all this and more, a young man of whom his parents might be proudepromising to be a man of value to the nation. But what could have brought about such a change? What could have made an efficient man out of a worthless boy? Four years of high school. But why was he in such a reverie? Was it failure; was it suc- cess; or was it love? The world said it was failure. Records said it was success. His guardian angel said it was love. 49 ; -..h km -a.,...'A- , '1 Nearly four years he had battled successfully with every ob- stacle that had come within his reach. From nothing he had become the star of his class, the pride of his school, and a miodel man. Suc- cess was his-and proud world you can not rob him. He was tussling, tumbling, shifting the castles of ambition within his mind. He would soon be a graduate and must choose his life work, and toward that end dir-ect his college course. He thought of the chances of a man, as a young man sees them; how difficult it is to accumulate wealth. But wealth was but a small part of his desires. He wished honor, love, happiness. Honor as a writer, a commander, or an explorer. But who could word paint a picture, a character different from the thousands painted by our famous authors? Who among this generation wish to live a life like that of the greatest military leader the world has ever known, Napoleon Bonaparte, whose fame. gushed forth as a river of blood at Austerlitz and sank into a salt marsh of remem- brance at Waterloo? Who could explore the sphere of some far off planet, there being no clime of this old world from pole to pole and from mountain top to the heart of the African jungles untrodden by the foot of civilized man? Could he afford to throw his life away upon the farm? Was it worthy of him? It was his birth- place, the home of his happiness and the voice of his calling. Yet he knew that its days of peace and healthful toil offered no adequate opportunity for the spirit he felt striving within him. Why did his present mood prevent him from coolly making a choice of his lifeis calling? V It was love. He loved with great intensity the girl who had been the dream of his daily school life. For her he would gladly lay down his calling, his life, his all. For her he would strive through the darksome pits of failure to the topmost round of the ladder of- SUCCCSS. But now his high school days would soon be over, which meant that he would lose all possibility of being in the society of Ruth Fuget. I shine of her joyous presence, it seemed death itself could not bring a greater blight to his spirit than the impending separation. A dull, dead cloud seem N 'ed to settle upon him-a grim despair.

Jack had the air of a City gentleman and Dan knew him well worthy ofe could he say Ruth Fuget? She, the daughter of a rich banker, the beauty of her set and the idol of man. Dan thought, as his face grew harder, III am just as good as he? but conscience said, Prove '13,, Dan would have gladly kept out of their way, had he a min- utes notice, but there was no time for escape, so he turned his face toward hisbook till they had passed, followed by a longing glance. And when their figures had vanished in the distance, he thought to himself. wWhat is the use of all this foolishness? Why did God ever place me in the world? Who can live a life different from all the hordes of human beings who have populated the earth in the past centuries? Why not plunge into the whirlpool at my feet and put an end to my worthless life? But no, I will try, if the end brings me out worthy, what is said about me will not amount to much. If it proves me worthless, ten angels swearing I was worthy will not make me so. Ruth Fuget, I will win you? Nature said. llGo aheadfl And who can dispute the mighty law of Godafrom the minute corpuscles of the electrical current above his head to the mighty mountains on either side, every human being, bird, flower and butterfly seeks its mate. Above his head a long obtuse angle of geese, now dotting the blue sky, now losing itself in the foggy mist, went speedily on their way to their nesting Clime. Two wood ducks came dashing down the, desert of water from their home upon the wave. Even the massive structure that arched the Willamette, rolling in a maddened torrent to its peace- ful mate, the Columbia, had attracted the construction of a similar bridge. Dan rose from where he had been sitting for some two hours, with the intention of returning home. But the grandeur of the place tied him with the bonds of nature. JThe sun was flaming its last rays of light over the Coast Range, with its many thousand firs, whose tops projected through the foggy veil that hung about its dales, down into the beautiful valley of the Willamette. The 51 ff I .,. I M..W.-.'M ' , growling waters were taking on the gray cast of night, blackened by the shadows of tall trees from the bank. It Was in this state, this heaven, that Danls thoughts fell into poetry and he cried aloud: Roll on, ye mighty waters seaward bound, Roll on, oh, fair Willamette of the West, Roll from the Cascades, diamond peak of snow, Roll from the Coast Rangeis forest dark and wild, Roll on through the valley, beautiful and green, Roll on, ye can not see the grandeur of your works, Roll on into the dark blue sea. And hark! Out of the roar of the river's torrent came a faint, low, moaning tone. Strive on, ye curse of your race, ' Strive on, ye hayseed of the West, Strive from your pleasant country farm, Strive from your motherls loving arm, Strive on your college course to win, Strive on, ye can not miss the grandeur Of your calling. Strive on, yes, to your topmost star. Dan awoke from his dream with a sudden start when he heard a well known voice callv- llHa, ha; pardon me for disturbing you, but you look lone- some all by yourselffi It is useless trying to describe With words, tongue or pen, a hope, a love, a Dan Martin, as he stood in that dream of life; as he found himself searching the volumes in the depths of Ruth Fugefs eyes-eyes which sometimes were an easy passage to translate, now could not be mastered by the worlds greatest detective. He stood, ' held off by what seemed to be the hand of all damnation, so that 116 could not make a single struggle to clasp that pearl in his arms for an embracement. He could not find words to speak, and stood as motionless as the pillars of the bridge, till her voice, far above description, again broke forth-- llYou stupid boy, why dorft you Speak to me ?,, My dear Ruth, my only, my all.

But they are a little late and I suggested returning to meet them, which I shall do. Good evening, Mr. Mar- tin; I hope you will be in a better mood at our next meeting. Dan stood for a moment trying to gain self control. Then the whistle of the 5:30 met his ear, and he called- llMiss Puget, pardon me. Pray wait a moment; there comes the train? ' She took no heed, but walked on to the head of the next span, stepped on the outer plate, and waited for the train to pass. Dan stood a moment watching the graceful figure, then the massive engine as it flashed by dazzled his sight for a second. That one moment unfolded the curtains of one of the most horrible scenes of humanity. Dan was moulded into a statue. A faint cry, a figure, Ruth Puget fell into the whirlingabyss of waters. A moment more, two giants-Dan and the old Willamettee were in arm and arm combat, a strife through the tornado of water, a grave now beneath the waves, a castle now within the foam, an agate found within the deep; and Dan Martin held with one strong arm his life, his love, his dream. 53 foe ?- al... - ,....-w.mrm-- , a- History, can you show a page more eventful?

An Elnrihmt 3hr ?Ranrh Eift By Augustus Flint, 14 It was late in the fall that Jack set out for some of the cattle that had not come in from the range, leaving his partner, Tom, alone to look after the ranch. He was to be gone for about a week, so he took with him some food and blankets on his pack mule, Toby. Jack had raised Toby from a colt, and had taught him many tricksain fact, he was quite a pet. He was boss among the horses on the ranch, and often when they were in the pasture he made life miserable for Topsy, Jack,s saddle pony. All went well with Jack until the morning of the third day, when. as he was fastening the last strap on the pack saddle, Toby, the pet mule, that never before had showna Vicious spirit, most un- expectedly wheeled and kicked him. As a result of Toby,s notion to play, Jack found himself with a broken leg, on the prairie, miles away from any house or road. He had no hopes that anyone would pass that way. All the food was on Tobyls back, and although both horses Were well trained to stand when their bridle reins were dropped, they were not ac- customed to have their rider crawl toward them on the ground. Therefore Jack was unable to get to them. After several unsuccessful attempts, he crawled down to the shade of a tree near a creek. Here he lay all forenoon, now and then putting cold water on his leg. He was wondering what to do, when an idea presented itself, which he thought might bring him aid. Toby had been taught to drive Topsy and Tomls saddle pony home from the pasture at Jackls command.- HTake them homef, and Jack thought perhaps the mule might drive Topsy home now. He called aloud, l Take her home, Toby; take her home? Toby lifted up his head, looked around at Jack, then flew at Topsy. Away' they went down the canyon, but each time they returned, Topsy about fifty yards in the rear. He tried once more, and after they had galloped off he lay still, listening for the sound of returning feet. Finally, wearied from the pain and fasting, he fell into a restless sleep. 56 e, A94; 4 m... h. 7.x-va q-iM-k... ..

The moon was directly over his head, the wind was blowing hard, and large leaves were falling fast. Save the rustling ofIthe wind and grass, no sound could be heard but the melancholy howl Of a lonely coyote, that skulking pariah 0f the desert, calling to his mate. Jack wondered if the horses had gone home, or if they were standing near him in the shade of the brush along the creek. The next morning, at the ranch, Tom ate an early breakfast and set out on horseback to spend the day flxing fence. As he was going over a ridge just back of the barn his horse pricked up its ears and commenced to whinney. Tom glanced about, and to his surprise saw Topsy and Toby come from over a little raise. He knew at once that some accident had happened to Jack. As soon as possible he set out to search for Jack, taking Topsy and Toby back with him, with material and provisions for a camp, to be used in case Jack should be found in need of them. In the morning, when the sun rose bright, Jack again looked around for the horses; and on not seeing them, had hopes that they had gone home. The hours of the hot day passed slowly. As he became weak from lack of food, Jackis hopes of being found diminished. At length, as the afternoon shadows were growing long, he built a fire out of some leaves and an old rotten log, in hopes that the smoke might guide Tom to where he lay. Weakened with the exertion, he lay back and drowsily watched the columns of smoke rise in the light air. As the sun sank low and no help came, his last hopes seemed to vanish, and he closed his eyes in a swoon. The slow fire still burned when Tom, riding over the prairies, saw the srhoke and came to where his friend lay. Tom worked over the seemingly lifeless body for some time, and at length consciousness returned. He then dressed the wound as best he could and gave Jack something to eat. Afterwards he made things as comfortable as possible for Jack and rode in haste for the nearest doctor, who lived some thirty miles away. Jack was glad of the company of Topsy and the mule, and for- gave Toby for his misdeed, since he had done so much toward repairing the injury. 57 Iii a ; Main .2 fan Ag ..

Sophie Peterson, ilZ It was on a cold, dark October evening in the early part of the nineteenth century, that a party of young people had assembled in the parsonage of the little town Stillinge on the island of Seeland, Denmark. Out of doors the wind was howling through the bare branches of the trees and whistling around the corners of the build- ing. Not a star could be seen in the black sky. Surely, ghosts and witches and evil spirits, if there really are such, would choose such a night to visit a peaceful community and carry on their mischief. But in the servantls hall, where the company was gathered, no one thought of evil. All were happy and free. The parson had been there'and had spoken a few words to them while they listened quietly and respectfully, but as soon as he had gone, all of them put away solemn thoughts and proceeded to enjoy themselves. Conversation was soon lively and gay. Games were played, jokes were laughed at, and short stories were told by several of the party. In one of these stories someone happened :to mention the mummy which was kept in the church. To most of the young people it was familiar, but several expressed curiosity concerning it; and the man who had mentioned it, told what he knew about it. It was the body of a preacher who had died there many years before. The em'balmed corpse still stood in the church, where all who wished might see it. Led by a sudden impulse, one of the girls suggested that some- one might go over to the church, which lay only a few rods away, and fetch the mummy, so that all might have a look atit. They all laughed at the idea, and several wagered that she was afraid to go. She, however, scorning to be thought afraid, accepted the wager. much to their amonishment and secret fear, and set out alone and without a light. Fhe ran quickly throughthe dark garden, reached the wall of the churchyard, and felt her way to the gate. This she opened a little ways and stepped within. She was now in the churchyard. The white monuments loomed tall and ghostly againsr the dark sky. and her heart began to beat faster. But she fought down her rising fearyand opening the church door, stepped in.

It was dry and shrunken, and the cloth in which it was wrapped was faded and rnouldy. The hair hung in ragged locks from the head, the features were sunken, and the skin had a musty gray color. Altogether, it was not a pleasant sight. After everyone had examined the mummy as much as he wished, the girl took it up again and went out to replace it so that the parson should not find out what had been done. She refused to let anyone go with her, Encauraged bv the. admiration of her com- rades and by her hrst success, she entered the church bravely this time, and having put the mummy back into the coffin, arranged everything as it was before. She breathed more freely now, for she had felt almost as if she were committing a sacrilege all the time, and turned around to go. But just as she turned, something caught her dress from behind and held her fast. Meanwhile her friends had been discussing the mummy, and were awaiting her return. But she did not come. Finally, grow- ing uneasy, several of the young men secured a couple of lanterns and went to seek for her. They found her standing beside the coffin, her face white and drawn, her eyes staring straight before her, filled with such a look of intense horror that they involuntarily shuddered. They called to her, but she did not answer, nor did the expression of her face change. Her dress had caught on a nail, but on the spur of the moment she had probably thought that the mummy held her fast. Her friends finally got her back to the hall, but although she was conscious of her surroundings now, she was still unable to speak. The parson was called and she was put under the proper care, while the rest of the young people quietly took leave of each other, each blaming himself for his foolishness in letting the girl have her will. The girl soon recovered physically, but her nervous system was nearly broken down, and, above all, she had lost the power of speech; she had been struck dumb by fright. um '14 'ng a , o . n II 1H rank 5 igrphtmmpnt as a W; in whu - .

A hundred and forty pounds and playing on a varsity eleven, which demands weight, pluck and intelligence, had won for him the position of right half back. Two years he had worked faithfully on the squad. The third year nearly the entire line had to be developed from new players. The coach was too busy to undertake this, so he appointed some of the seniors to help coach the new ones. Campbell was appointed to coach a Freshman named Holmes, for half back. With no thought, in the beginning, that he might be raising up a rival, he had gone into the coaching with high spirit. l The Varsity played Wallace University the next Saturday, and Wallace had a heavy team, recruited from experienced players. The Varsity players went into'the game with much determination, and it seemed as if there would be no scoring. i The fierce onrushers of the Varsityls backs were crushed by the heavy Wallace line. The Wallace backs made no progress against the new line. Campbell, trying time after time to break through for one of those long runs which had won his reputation, was always pinned by Wallacels Heet little quarter. . The coach, thinking that Campbell was too light to buck against those heavy players, out Holmes in his place as haif back. ' Campbell now realized that the coaching he gave Holmes had lost him his place. The new line becoming weary of play, broke loose, and the Veterans soon added seventy yards to their credit. But here it stopped, the new line having stiffened, and in three downs the ball went to the other side. Holmes now made nearly all the yardage for the Varsity, and when the half ended he had worked the ball out of VVallacels territory and up to the center of the field. In the last half Holmes was able to gain but little, and the quarter being convinced that the Orange players were onto their 61 Holmes for tive times signals, changed them. Now the ball went to in succession, and each time he was able to gain a little on account of his weight. Campbell, on the side lines, saw that at the rate Holmes was playing he would not last long. This proved true, for in the next down Holmes was hurt and Campbell was put in in his place. The next signal and the ball came to Campbell, who broke through for one of those long runs. By the ten-yard line he Hew. Now it was the line of the flve-yard line that his Hying feet scat- tered. Near the side line the big Orange, watchful for just such a play, was waiting. A half back and a Heet tackle blocked the way in front of him. From the fullback he turned at right angles to where the half crouched low in expectation, took one quick step and jumped; jumped as he had never jumped before, and right over the half back he went, coming down on the other side and planting the ball between the posts. A'few minutes later the sound of the refereets whistle closed the game, with the Varsity as winner. 31': teats 101 . 1 tothehomc 0t 1 . . ouhl he sattstt dwas now a heap 0t tn hmgcr hc St , .

Elie g?tmngwt Experimrp nf My Eifp By Jewel Hays, i15 I well remember that bitter cold evening when the snow fell thick and fast in that little Blue mountains. Mother and I were alone, my having gone to a distant sheep camp to remain over night. We went to bed very early, but to my surprise sleep would not come to I seemed to be in dread of soniethings-an in late December, valley west of the father and brother close my tired eyelids. inexplicable something which amused every sense and drove sleep away. I did not speak of this peculiar fear. however. as mother was of a nervous disposition and I thought she might be frightened. At last, when it was about ten o'clock. I think, I fell into a light slumber. I had not slept long before I was awakened by the whine of our dog. I listened-every sense on the alert. 1 could hear the, dog growl fiercely for a few moments. then he would raise his voice to the most pitiful howl one ever heard. I lay listening for perhaps Efteen minutes, then, thinking he was lonely because of fathers absence, I slipped quietly out of bed so I should not awaken mother, and crept down the stairs to try and console the poor fellow if I could. I unlocked the front door as noiselessly as possible and peered out. The snow had ceased falling; the moon had filled the heavens with her silvery light; the myriad stars shone forth with a glow of splendor; not a cloud marred the beauty of the clear blue sky. The snow lay like a death-white blanket over hill and valley: and as the rays of the moon caught and refieeted its glow, it gleamed and sparkled as though the angels had sprinkled the earth with dia- ymonds. Everything was white, excepting over on a distant hill a .few fir trees cast an ominous shadow down into a little glen to mingle with a few more shadows which were lurkingr there. The mght was perfeet-a poet could not imagine one more perfect. When I first looked out I could see neither the dog nor any- thing that might disturb him; but as I turned my eyes toward the place where the 01d pump stood. a si ght met my gaze that froze me to the Hoor I stood upon. i Every sense excepting that of sight 64 r U 8H 1: 't 'tou ' a .

I could not tear my gaze from the horrible spectacle which confronted meaa horrible, ghost-like fig- ure, robed from head to foot in deathly white garments, which touched and mingled with the snow, with its eyes and long, bony fingers raised heavenward. The dog, poor fellow, was as badly frightened as I Was. He would circle about the ghostly spectacle, giving vent all the while to the most piercing howls; then he would advance quickly as though he were going to take hold of the horrible white garments; but instead of doing this, he would back off and repeat the same maneuvers as before. At first the creature did not move; but presently a slight tremor as of intense pain passed through its entire frame. The bony hngers began to work and tremble; the eyes were suddenly low- ered from their upward gaze, and the awful white garments began to wave and rustle as though a strong Wind were disturbing them. Suddenly there was wafted on the night air a strain of music --music so perfect and sweet I had never heard before or since- and I do not expect to hear its equal until I reach that place where angels greet us, with smiling faces, and the music of harps played by saints fills the air with sweetest melody. As the music ceased, the ghostly fingers stopped their working; the eyes were once more raised on high, and with a blood-curdling cry the hgure sank and disappeared. I came to myself with a start. My muscles were stiff and I shook from head to foot as with a chill. My first thought was to cry out, but I checked this impulse with fear of its frightening mother. Then a great dread of being alone came over me and I rushed through the door, and, hastily locking it, ran up the short Hight of stairs. Mother lay sleeping as peacefully as when I had left her. As I was overpowered with what I had seen, I elambored into bed, where I lay, hardly daring to breathe lest I should see that awful Vision again. Finally sleep, that merciful consoler, took me into her keeping. V When I awoke it was broad daylight. I glanced out of the window at the snow-covered hills; and the scene of the night be- fore again came to my mindis eye with such a Vividness that I was 65 I en-v famw-,s-,..rAr -A t C forced to cover my face with my hands. I could not keep off the terrible chill of horror and my body shook from head to foot. My mother, seeing my strange actions, rushed to my Slde, and, throwing my arms around her neck, I sobbed out the whole'of my nightls experience. She tried to comfort me, tellmg me it was only a dream. The first thing I did upon going down stairs was to Open the front door and look out. Exactly where I had seen, or imagined I saw, the spectral figure, was a great deep hole in the soft snow, and all about this were the prints of the dog's feet going in a circle just as I had seen our dog do last night. I glanced down to see if I could See the prints of my feet in the snow which had drifted onto the porch. Yes, they were there, and lying directly before me was my handHerchief, which my nerveless hands had refused to hold. I called my mother and showed her these proofs. She was forced to acknowledge that I had surely been clown stairs, but the story of the ghost and music she positively refused to believe. When father came he also refused to believe my strange tale, telling me it was only a dream I had dreamed, which had left such an impression on my mind that I took it for a reality. But let it be a dream or a reality, it will alWays live in my mind as the strang- est experience of my life. amv.i m; w Never gmtg After 1612mm In the old park swing, late one night, Two couples sat in the bright moonlight; The time passed gaily with laughter and song, Little they thought they were doing wrong; But a few days later, one morning at school, Prof. Scullen said: iiWe have made this rule; No party whereier held, in this world or in heaven, Must continue any longer than the hour of eleven.

P., ,12. 5112 1311qu Eurk By Helen Ehrmann, ll3 During the early part of the year 1908 the growing discontent with existing regime in the Ottoman Empire on the part of the different races of this cosmopolitan country, including Turks, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians and Arabs, aroused a cry of distress that was heard all over Christendom. Even the Christian people, who, outside of the Turkish boundaries, wished to have the despotic rule of Abdul Hamid, the Nero of the age, ended. The crisis was reached when in the south two young Turkish soldiers of undying fame raised the standards of the revolution and started the wave of reform which swept the country with lightning rapidity. By the term llYoung Turk, I mean the subjects, either young or old, who were disaffected by the growing burdens placed upon them by the growing despotic action of the ruling power, and who kept in touch with each other by means of a secret organization. This term applies to the Christians, Jews and Turks, who lived in Turkey or had been in exile because they were afraid of death if they re- sided in the Fatherland. One of the principal aims of the llYonngr Turks was to abolish the diabolical espionage system established by their rulerea system. which created suspicion among all the people for fear an indiscreet word should bring death from the bloody sword that was ever suspended over the trembling subjects. The Chain leading up to the central group was so carefully concealed that no one has ever been able to discover the source of that wonderful power. When it became known that a constitutional government had been granted Turkey, aged exiles from all parts of the country re- turned to the capital. As they were all llYoung Turksf the secret organization became the prime factor in the administration of the government. The people then began to shout illibertyll and the Inhabitants nearly Went wild with joy at the thought of deliver- ance from slavery. All looked to the Committee of Union and Pro- gress for guidance, and Abdul Hamid was distinctly told that his life would be spared as long as he ruled according to the constitu- 68 vi 1'! I 5,137.

Some of the old naval ships which were falling to ruin were put 1nto commission and anchored directly in line with the palace of the wily ruler, so he became practically a prisoner. The Americans hardly realize what an important influence their countrymen have exerted in helping the Turks establish a consti- tutional government. For eighty years our missionaries have been laying the doctrine which makes free government possible. The founding of the educational system by the Americans has done much for the enlightenment of the Turks. The Turks themselves have earnestly sought education through all possible means, and they proved to be apt scholars. For example, one young man, a Syrian by birth, spoke the English language well, besides more than a dozen others. He was also a stenographer and Was but an average scholar in college. The young womxen seem to be as eager for an education as the other sex. Young girls between the ages of six- teen and twenty, having studied the English language but one year, presented some of Shakespeareis plays with ease and grace that would put most of our girls to shame. i The ttYoung Turksll are reaching out to other civilized nations, America in particular, for help to recover from the tryanny that has bound them so long in slavery. All told, the Turks have accomplished much. While the Euro- pean nations were quarreling over the possession of Turkey, they stepped forward and asserted their rights. In Shefket, Pashals grand army of 30,000, as fine a body of soldiers as ever marched, not a drop of intoxicating liquor could be found. The contrast between this state of affairs and the way the soldiers carried on in former times cannot help but be seen. Re- ferring to the battles fought in the East, it is said that the Moham- medans regarded a barrel of whisky as equivalent to a reinforce-. ment of one hundred men, for by rolling it before the enemy it would be sure to be greedily attacked. Another trait belonging to this army was their strong patriotism, on Which, as stated by the eminent statesman, Baron von Stein, early in the nineteenth century, 0the strength of the nationh depends. This army deter- mined to make all necessary wars as Tibloodlessii as possible, and when the rebellion of 1909 came it was so quickly and completely suppressed that the constitutional government was placed upon a 69 ,4;EA 3N a ,0. . higher and firmer basis than before and Abtlul .l Iainid was the na- tionis prisoner. His impeachment was earned 011 In strict .aeeotd- anee with the constitution and religions law of the land. HIS reign came to an end by the selection of Mohammed V as his successor, who is now the beloved ruler of the Turkish people. What is the result of the Young Turk organization? Have they accomplished that which they set out to accomplish? It is only necessary to note the happy, smiling faces of the inhabitants of Turkey today to realize that despotism is a thing of the past. Fear has been banished, ambition for knowledge strength- ened, and thought enlivened. Corruption was speedily brought to justice, so that today there is no more honest administration of gov- ernmental affairs in the World than in Turkey and the stability of the internal program of the iiYoung Turks is shown in the frequent successful rapid transit movements against revolutionists. America as a Christian nation. now well advanced in years, bearing a history filled with unselfish action toward weaker na- tions, can well afford to continue the practice of the Golden Rule in. its attitude towards the people of the East who are in the strug- gle for government ttof the people, for the people. and by the people? a iv v Q- 1 ,w 1 y , t g9 I Q'h m 3k 9 i- I o h ,.; y i .i my 1 ?' , Q . 4 1U 17' L w i? t Y i. ,3? 34 givuit i h t w u, p u u n i av tr, :1 it: have . ,aww- 1 zjvetvl M ug ru'h oil 3 !

M tgwed $alt iliakv Thelma Lee Hughs Think of a lake from twenty-Iive hundred to three thousand square miles in area, lying a thousand miles inland, at an altitude of four thousand feet above the level of the sea, whose waters are six times as Salty as those of the ocean. Four large rivers How into this American Dead Sea, and with their aid the lake does not raise its surface or lose any of its saltiness. Where does all the water go? Where does all the salt come from? As you stand upon its shores, these are some of the questions your mind is asking. No answer comes from the mysterious depths, nothing but death-like silence. Salt Lake is entrancing in its beauty and a sense of loneliness steals over you as you see the sea gulls soaring above it. This great expanse of water is their play ground, they delight in floating upon its clear surface. . If one wishes to enjoy the real beauty of the place, let him take a skiff and row over the lake. Near the shore it is an opal green, delicate and wavering. Further out this changes into a blue as dazzling as the skies that bend above it, and then it gradually deep- ens into a royal purple which darkens and lightens as you silently skim over it. The whole lake is dotted with picturesque, mountainous islands, rising out of the blue-green sea. Streams of pure fresh water tum- ble down their canyons, grasses liourish everywhere, vast deposits of salt are found uponithese small islands. Salt Lake was oncesas large as Lake Huron, and was over a thousand feet deep. Its former marks are as plain as if they had been traced but yesterday. Gradually the lake seems to dry up. Perhaps some day there will be only traces of this wonderful work of nature. One of the most interesting things of Salt Lake are the bathers. A first bath is always as good as a circus. The human body will not, 71 and in fact cannot, sink in it. You can waik out Where it is flfty feet deep and your body will not go under. Its buoyancy is unim- aginable. Anyone can fioat upon it at first trial. There is nothing to do but lie down gently upon it and Hoat. But swimming is a different matter. You will fmd that not quite so enjoyable. At hrst your body simply refuses to stay anywhere but on top, but after several efforts you learn to wrestle with its novelties. The sunsets are glorious. Nature seems to empty all her paint lots on the evening sky and the day dies with unsurpassable splen- dor. ,y I I33 I Md . .xi x vh s Elli? Eammmt Glnnnerzatinn By Ray Vaulthrin, ,13 When the days are short and it rains continually and it seems as if everything is dead and that a fellow could not have any fun, if he tried, then we enjoy our noonday conversation in the base- ment. We might compare ourselves to an old-fashioned family, all gathered around the fireplace, only we have no lireplace and no grandfather to tell us stories. We tell our own stories. We are shut in from the rest of the world. No one knows any- thing about our fun. Professor Beals, Miss Thompson, Professor Scullen and the grade teachers are all home to dinner. There is no one to watch us except Mr. Miller, the janitor, and he likes to see us enjoy ourselves. He often calls us his children. We are assembled in a circle .. Some are sitting on boxes, some on oldydesks, and very frequently you will see Carey ,perched on a block of wood. If you were to visit this happy crowd, you would find some striking peculiarities. There are some who talk all the time but do not succeed in saying much; for instance, Carey and your humble servant. Katie is a match for them, however, and fre- quently takes them down a notch or two when they are inclined to brag. ' Boyce is looked to as authority on all subjects, but his specialty is Rrigometry. XVe have some, like Evelena and Blanch, who do not talk at all. I often wonder if they enjoy our fun. I hope they do. Carl and Wilbur are very much interested when we talk of past experiences with the hay baler. We often speak of the time when we were in Careyls peach. orchard and he hollowed to us, Help your- selves, boys? and we understood him to say liGet out of there, boys? , Ejner is the only llinanii among us. He is a great debator in high school, but our subjects are out of his line of thought. Johnie is a very modest boy and does not converse on subjects purely social. It takes something like dreams to interest him. Thomas is a good type of an Oregon farmer. We are very soory that we lost 'dered as the baby of Annie Jensen, our little pet. She was con51 73 the family, and all were sorry when she moved to Idaho. She and Marguerite are very easily amused and When they once get started to laughing, it is impossible for them to stop. I regret to say that Claud Goodlin, Chester Harpole and Eddie Neaves have left our happy circle. 'A few of the grade pupils are present, but they never join in our activities. We have a fine joke on them. One day there was a car load of junk going through town and a brakey told the boys that it was the remains of the battleship Maine on its way to the Panama Exposition at San Fran- cisco. They believed this and began to carry off large. pieces of iron for souvenirs. One day, when Fritzie forgot her dinner, Carey proved his sympathetic nature by trying to persuade someone to divide with her. In a day or two, he said he had won a bet on a basketball game, in which Fritzie had starred, but he refused to divide the gainings With her. We never have any quarrels; everything is a joke with us.

All subjects then are open for discussion. llCaesaris Gallic W'arsi, receives proper mention. A11 social functions are discussed. The Presidential candidates form a very convient topic. We some- times forget and talk about Rick,s wrestling qualities in the presence of Katie. Many of the girls carry their dinner to school in paper sacks. This is not to avoid washing a dinner bucket, but so that the girls can have the sacks to throw at the waste paper basket. This is done for practice in basketball. Fritzie and Katie are the stars. All this and more go to make up our program. I take it for granted that you know, that we are all busy eating our dinner. Of all the places I know of there is none that I love better than our dear old basement with its happy faces and laughter. :xlnoon time spent in the basement would certainly drive away the ues. s. .. w! - hen the mom! to M 2:421:32: ' n32221212 1 ? 232225.10?

An Ahnenturr By Peter Jensen, 314 One hot day in July a man was slowly riding over the prairies of Nebraska. It had been a hot summer and the grass which was waist high, was very dry. The man had been riding all day, and being tired, he did not notice the cloud of smoke advancing from the south. ! The smoke was caused by a great prairie fire, which was now about three miles wide, and was driven before a heavy wind with great rapidity. The man, thinking it about time to stop for the night, drew rein by a small spring. As he was watering his horse, he looked around and saw a sight which horrihed him. The great fire was burning its way toward where he was now standing; and he knew that soon it would be upon him. Hastily throwing all the baggage from his horse, he mounted and began his race for life. He knew, that if he could reach the Platte river, about ten miles to the north, he would be safe. For a time he held his own with the fire, but the speed began to 1ell on his horse, and he saw that the fire was steadily gaining on him. When he had covered half the distance to the river, 'the fire was nearer'than before, and he saw that the race would be close. He rode on, at last he could see the dark outline of the trees along the bank of the river. The great wave of fire was now close upon'him; he could feel the heat, and was almost choked by the smoke; Suddenly his horse, which had been ridden all day, fell to the ground, killed by the awful run he had made. Unloosening himself from the stirrups, the man struggled on through the smoke. The heat became intense; his clothes were burning and the smoke was so denSe that he could not see three feet ahead of him. He was now out of breath and felt that further struggle was useless. Just ashe was about to sink down exhausted, he felt soft mud under his feet and the next moment he was in the water and safe. JUNCO-ED STAFF Sitting G. Strome, W. Hoppes, R. Tracer, A. McFarland.

' Address all exchanges to the Editor-in-Chief; all business communica- tions to the Business Manager. Entered at the post office at Junction City, Oregon, as second class matter; under act March 3, 1897. The Junco-Ed has now passed its fourth anniversary. These four years represent its youthful growth; and we hope that it may rise higher and higher as our school grows larger and as the more advanced ideals of education become realities. The purpose of this annual is to give expression to the life and Spirit of our school, and despite all its trials We trust that its 77 ,the students ; purpose has been fulfilled. The literary, the personals, and all other departments have shown the feeling of good fellowship and helpfulness which pervades the school. The Junco-Ed tiles show, also, as nothing else caneexcept the lives of the students them- selves-the friendly relationship existing between the faculty and and it is our aspiration to see this high standard raised to the highest pinnacle of perfection. This year a sudden change, caused by unavoidable circum- stances, just in the midst of the preparation of this annual, called away its most faithful counsellorgand took from us a faculty member who was loved by all. Her place has been filled by a worthy successor, and Miss Hamble deserves much credit for what she has done to make this volume a success. i Our school year has been a most successful one. we are proud of the graduating class we are presenting to the world. And the loyalty, and high standard of scholarship, set by the class of. 1912 will ever be a most excellent example for the students of J. C. H. S., with whom this class has been associated in their school life. Our students have worked as one in their student body organ- ization and in every activity which it has taken up. We have made the self-government plan of the assembly room a satisfactory one; and we believe it to be the best form ever established in high schools and colleges. The Junco-Ed for this year has sought to be a means of ex- pression for all the best. things in student life. If there has been any part of school life, uplifting and elevating, which has not been represented, it has happened through ignorance, not inten- tion. And the present staff have few actions to regret, because they feel that they have done their best. Ab Tl? ka 1' I 5'X m 1 hi k.N Eh; kth u... .4 ; 13M IQuicrg !h : n djrl t M ?

A program consisting of Piano Solo ..... . .................................. Grace Jackson Recitation ...................................... Gladys Wagner Song ...................................... High School Quartet was admirably rendered, after which interesting speeches were made by a number of visitors and other distinguished persons. Supper was then announced, and everyone was pleased to partake of .the delicious refreshments prepared by the committee in charge. A very pleasant evening was enjOyed by all, and all regretted the hour for the train which was to bear the victors home. It was aivhappy crowd that escorted the visitors to the depot, and the regret of defeat was almost forgotten amid the praises and compliments for the royal way Junction High treated her superiors. +o+o+ JanuarinOth, following the debate between Springfield and Junction High Schools, the students showed their hospitality by inviting all those present into the class room, to a prearranged re- ception and a short program and a good social time. After speeches had been made by several students and others, refreshments were served, and everyone departed happy-the Springheld Visitors in- cluded. +o+o+ February 2nd the Albany debaters, by whom Junction High had been so nobly defeated, were entertained at the I. O. O. F. ball by the home student body. After a short program, various games and pastimes occupied the evening until supper, after which everyone went back to their merry-making, and it was a very late hour when liGoodnight, Ladies? was reluctantly started by the iaculty, but the boys joined in the chorus and all went home happy, with praises by the Albany Visitors for Junctionis way of entertain- ing any High School representatives which fortune casts in their midst. i 80 .

Q's: eigwu mfg?! vhf! ;i1 Halloween, October 31st, is a night that will long remain in the minds of those present at the party given in the A. O. U. W. hall by the young ladies of the school. The girls all went alone, and when the boys came they were greatly surprised to find, instead of their waiting schoolmates, as they had expected, the lights turned low and a row of what looked very much like ghosts seated on the floor, chanting mournful dirges. A chaperon equal to the occasion was present and explained to the boys that they must Choose part- ners before knowing who the llghostsi, were. This was a source of much fun, but each finally succeeded in making his choice, and a grand march was led by Mr. Beals. Then the girls were allowed to remove their attire and disclose their identity. Many games were played, during which time refreshments cOn- sisting of popcorn balls, candy and apples, were served ma la grabbe and eat? At rather a late hour peculiar sounds were heard, the door opened and a strange procession entered. which later proved to be the teachers and some of their friends. Forgetting their age they joined in the games and a very enjoyable time was spent by I everyone until the parting hour came and it was indeed a joyous crowd that dispersed to the homes. +0+0+ Saturday afternoon, November 18th, Miss Lois Parks invited a number of the High School girls to her home for the purpose of making Christmas presents and other needle work. The afternoon was pleasantly, as well as busily, spent. and dainty refreshments were served by the hostess at about 6:00 oiclock. The girls, think- ing this a very good plan for getting their Christmas 1fancy work done, decided to have other similar meetings. Consequently. on November 25th, they met with Misses Grace Gilmore and Bertha Harpole; on December 3rd with Miss Fern Mickey; and December 11th Miss Gertrude Thompson entertained. At each of these meetings the same routine of work was pursued. and a general good time enjoyed by all present. +0+0+ Mr. Carey Strome was pleasantly surprised at his home on the evening of January 11th, by a number of his schoolmates, the occasion being his birthday. Enjoyable games were the pastime of the evening, and at a late hour a light lunch was served, after which the guests departed, Wishing Carey many more birthdays. 81 On the 24th of January, a dark and stormy night, Miss Ruth Tower was agreeably surprised, upon answering a knock at her door, to find a crowd of wet but happy young people clamoring for entrance. She suddenly remembered that it was her birthday, whereupon the surprise disappeared. The young folks were speedily at home and enjoyed themselves playing a variety of games until midnight, when a delicious lunch was served. After a few more games the party broke up, voting Miss Tower a royal hostess. +o+o+ Invitations were issued to the Juniors to attend a reception given in their honor by the Senior class at the A. O. U. W. hall Friday evening, March 16th. All the members of the two Classes, the faculty and Mrs. Scullen were present and enjoyed the inter- esting and amusing pastimes of the evening. At 11:00 oiclock a two-course luncheon was served and the Juniors said they could not express their appreciation in words, but would show it in deeds. +o+o+ On the evening of October let the Freshmen held their first party of the year, at the High School building. Those present were: The faculty, Mrs. Mickey, Mrs. Scullen, and the members of the Freshman class. The evening was spent in games, after Which dainty refreshments were served. The Freshmen say they know how to entertain and have a good time, if the are green. +o+o+ The Sophomores held their annual class party in the assem- bly room, March 16th, 1912. The evening passed quickly with mu- sic and games. A dainty lunch was served at rather a late hour by Misses Grace Gilmore and Winona Strome, after which the members and guests departed, each having spent a very enjoyable evening. Those present were: Tfhelma Hughes, Grace Gilmore, Winona Strome, Gladys Wagner, Blanche Chapman, Bertha Stoner, Gertrude Millett, Evelyn Calvert, Maybelle Gadke, Gus Flint, Ar- leigh Thom, Boyce Young, John Calvert, Harold Burns, Ray Van- thrine, Hollie Leathers, Glenn Strome, Hobart McFadden, Sam McMullen, Frank Edwards and Peter Jensen; and also Miss Eva Thompson, Mr. Wm. Beals, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Scullen, who acted as chaperones. 82 Brha ll h, 1h Mk. Vm'h-IM: Vi'kmgg 5m. btnm', Inn :4 t m t'. uhdl dim: mana...de 1 9.... Debate has become one of the leading High School activities. The purpose of introducing debating contests into high schools is to train the students to be able to put their thoughts into words and to express their ideas in a way that shows the public that they are really receiving some benefit from a high school education. Most people feel rather dumfounded and ignorant When they are called upon to address the public for their hrst time. Unless this queer sensation is overcome during school days, what are the pupils going to do when necessity in life calls upon them to appear before the public? What good does it do for the students to have their minds crammed full of knowledge, unless they are able to express themselves for the benefit of others? The public is taking great interest in high school debate, in the league as well as in the tryouts, and only upeto-date questions which are of interest to the public are discussed. At the beginning of the school term of 1911 and 1912 circum- stances seemed to indicate that Junction City High School would make a good showing in the league debate. This statement can be indorsed by the fact that out of an enrollment of seventy-five pupils, forty-four took part in the tryout, with the proper high school spirit. It would have been imlpossible for the judges to listen to all these young orators one evening, as well as very difficult to make choice of four to represent the High School in the league debates Which were coming. So the tryout was held on the three even- ings of December 11th, 12th and 13th. The judges, Mr. A. J. Mickey, Dr. Hicks, and Rev. Knotts, were instructed to make a choice of twelve out of the forty-four. The questions debated, and those taking part in each, were as follows: ' Resolved, That Governor Westis prison policy is benehcial to the public. Affirmative, Gertrude Thompson, Anna McFarland, Gertrude Sanders and Sam Sheldt. Negative, Harold Edwards, Thelma Hughs, William Harper, and Mabel Gadke. Resolved, That newspapers aid in the spread of crime. Affir- mative, Martel Mickey and James Washburne. Negative, John Cal- vert and Thomas Barker. :lllltftk , f1 ,3'4' can he! ha3ZM. w. h$ . h at l JJPQQ: H..!l a ' DEBATING TEAM Ejner Hentze Katie Strome, Mr. Beals, Thelma Hughs Will Hoppes, Martel Mickey, Carl Reetz Resolved, That the government land grant policy to the rail- roads has benefited the country.

Resolved, That the cities of the United States should adopt the commission plan of government. Affirmative, Carl Reetz, Ray Vaulthrin, Glen Strome and Peter Jensen. Negative, Carey Strome, Evelyn Calvert, Helen Ehrmann and Reta Donovan. Resolved, That the departmental plan is more beneficial to the grammar school pupils than the grade plan. Affirmative, Arleigh Thom and Bertha Harpole. Negative, Katie Strome and Ruth Tower. Resolved, That the Oregon Electric railroad will benefit Junction City. Affirmative, Hollie Leathers, Marguerite Young and Emma Kaping. Negative, Carl Jensen, Blanche Chapman and Harold Burns. Resolved, That worldis peace is an impossibility. Affirmative, Ejner Hentze, Jewel Hays, Frank Edwards and Chester Harpole. Negative, Roy Tracer, Boyce Young, Claud Goodlin and Wilbur Reetz. From these the following twelve were chosen: Wm. Hoppes, Carl Reetz, Ejner Hentze, Carey Strome, Martel Mickey, Jewel Hays, Thelma Hughs, Katie Strome, Hobert McFadden, Anna McFarland, Ruth Tower and Wilbur Reetz. The next tryout, which was the final decision for members of the league debating team, was held by these on the evening of De- cember 22nd, and the following questions were debated: Resolved, That United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people. Affirmative, Carey Strome, Hobert MC- Fadden and Carl Reetz. Negative, Wm. Hoppes, Ruth Tower and Martel Mickey. Resolved, That separate high schools should be maintained for boys and girls. Afhmative, Katie Strome, Jewel Hays and Wilbur Reetz. Negative, Ejner Hentze, Thelma Hughs and Anna McFar- land.

Kr: L chosen to represent the school in the league debates: Ejner Hentze, Wm. Hoppes, Martel Mickey and Thelma Hughs. Owing to the fact that only eight schools had enlisted in the Central Oregon District, Junction City and Springleld were put on as one division of the district. The question for debate was, Resolved, That a state law should be passed providing that school districts should supply free text books in the public schools below the high school grades. The debate with Springfield was held January 19th, 1912. Our negative team, consisting of Wm. Hoppes and Martel Mickey, went to Springfield, where they met Springfields affirmative team, cone sisting of Harold Hockett and Ada Harbit, and won the debate by a two to one decision. Our affirmative team was represented by Ejnaer Hentze and Thelma Hughs, who debated with Springfieldls negative team, Annie Carson and Randolph Scott, and defeated it by a two to one decision. These two victories gave Junction the championship of this division of the district. The next debate for district championship was held February 2nd. The schools taking part were Albany, Lebanon and Junction 'City. Our negative team went to Lebanon, where they met Leba- non,s afhrmative team, Prentiss Brown and Isabella Garland, and lost by unanimous decision. Albany's negative team, Charles Oh- ling and Irvine Atchison, came to Junction City and won over our affirmative team by a two to one decision. The two defeates ended the debating career of Junction City High School for this year. But if the students show the same good spirit in debate next year as they have in the past, and undoubtedly they will, there can be no reason Why they should not be represented by a team which any school can be justly proud of. This year we entered the contest, getting the district championship, but if the debate spirit continues to grow, probably our school will be heard of in the contest for the state championship next year.

Ellie 1911 Zilnnthall $2aann At the first of the season it would appear that the High School could be victorious over other schools. With nine of last years WTroysf, we were able to select a very vigorous lineup. This, with such veterans as Captain Strom'e, Flint, Harpole and Strome, and Tower as coach, would lead one to expect that we had a strong team. But, on account of lack of practice, the squad was not always able to stand in the front rank. The first game of the season was played with the Creswell High School on the home gridiron. The result was an overwhelm- ing defeat for our opponents. The next game was played at Brownsville, with the High School. The game was delayed somewhat because they wanted to play us with other than High School students. Although the game was finally played with a strong determination on both sides, and we lost by a large score. When the Eugene Second lined up on our held one week later, they looked like some of the iiBrownsville Farmers? But when the ball started We saw the mistake, and played with all the vigor we could muster up. They had us outclassed in almlost every form, and the game ended with a loss, but all were in good spirits. The last game of the season was played with Creswell High, at Creswell. When the team lined up for action they were in mind going to defeat us this time, but were swept off their feet by the concentrated rushes, and found a line that was impenetrable. The season closed with all the boys eligible under the High School rules, and we hope that in the future we will win back our lost laurels.

This has not been a brilliant year in basketball, although from the very first practice indications pointed to a winning team. Some doubt existed, however, for the greatest part of the team had to be developed from new men. Tracer and Hays were the Only 01d players, with Perman joining late in the season. The ball was started rolling on December 8, when the Smith- field Athletic Club met our boys in the Washburne rink. The game was played with a crushing defeat'for the club. The next game was also played with the Smithfield Athletic Club. The game was fast from start to finish, but the soothsayers were again-defeated, with a greater loss than before. On the 13th of January the High School team went to Harris- burg and played the Athletic Club of that place. But owing to the fact that their team was composed of large and experienced men, our boys were defeated. On January 20th, after a long drive, our team was defeated by the Brownsville High School. Owing to the small hall and Browns- ville,s determination to play a rough game, it made conditions worse for our team. When time was called for the hrst half the score was 3 to 16 in favor of Brownsville. But the last half was not so c-ne-sided as the first, for when the final whistle blew the score was 13 to 31 in favor of Brownsville.

And they showed their spirit by getting in some good practice twice a week, which developed some good material for a winning team. But they were unable to sched- ule any games and the squad divided into two teams, the Juniors against the rest of the school, better known as the worldW They played two hotly contested games, in which the worldh proved their superior playing, as shown in the scores, 9 to 5 in the first game, and 9 t0 3 in the second. The lineup for the games was as follows: Juniors World Helen Ehrmann LF Fritze Jensen Edith Wrenn C Gladys Wagner Ruth Tower RF Bertha Harpole Inez Cooley RG Thelma Hughs Florence Cooley LG Katie Strome 94 Track Team hwy, - who 11111-12 wrath vaaann Last year was the beginning of the Junction City High School track work. It was not entirely successful, on account of lack of contests and training. There were four of the boys sent to the Inter-Scholastic High School meet at the University Of Oregon last year. Perman got second in the tryouts and hfth in the finals in the 100-yard dash. Although the boys did not score, they learned enough about track work to pay them Well for their going. It was arranged between the Cottage Grove High School and Junction High to have a field meet May 31, 1911, on the home track. But Cottage Grove failed to arrive on the time appointed for the meet. After waiting a while, thinking that they would come, we decided to have a class meet among ourselves. The results are as follows: Event First Second Third Result 50-yam dash ............ ..-Perman ....... Strome ....... Thom ......... Hammer throw .Reetz .........

Yes. llThen let ier gof, Martells face is a sight, He looks as if he's ready just to stop and take'a Hight. Stay with it, kid, ltwill soon be oierfl But stay! That sound! That awful roar; ,Tis MartePs smile as he holds Edithis hand. Now hear the rest; ,tis like a full brass band. The machine has stopped, no more does it buzz, You can hear them all say, llHow shocking it was? Roy looks at her hand as if he would say,- In return for such joy, Pd be shocked every day.

Why canlt you get some sense in your brain? In History, Algebra and English each day lI do nOt know, is all that you ever can say; And never a night since beginning of school Have youltaken a book home or obeyed a rule. You should take for example the Sophomores wise, Who to their teachers some answer devise. Now take my advice, and next time we meet I shall have the great pleasure a student to greet? Freshie: llIt seems strange to me how those Sophlmores forget If I from the Soph an example would take, In quizzes Ild cheat a good grade to make; In classes of Latin would make such a bluff That the teacher would say, lWhy, thatls just the stufff And when on the street an old friend I,d see Ild point at my' hat as polite as could be, And say, lHello, old boy; shake; how goes it today Pl Been a long time since youlve been down my wayf And show respect to my father by calling him lold manf And Ild spend his hard cash as fast as I can. Iswould stay out so late and be such a sport, That I might land in anyold port. 80 I-think theplan that will pay at the last Is to choose mysexampletrom the wise Senior class. 2.

Therels Bertha now, so tall and dark, On her I simply dote, For with her dimples and her smiles She simply gets my goat. , But then therels Ruth, that dark eyed lass, With lips of cherry red, When from her side I sadly stray, My heartls a pound of lead. And next comes Katie, young and fair, With eyes of dancing brown, Sometimes I think that she is quite The sweetest girl in town. And then therels Gertrude with her smiles And silvery rippling laugh; Wheneler she frowns my heart doth seem To all but break in half. And next comes Helen, nicest girl That eler to high school came, Yet when I calmly think it o,er, Ild hate to change her name. Then Sophia, calm and sober lass, So quiet, self contained; Somehow, wheneler of her I think, I feel Ilm scatter brained. 105 Then Anna too, so frivolous And giggling all the time, Somehow this dear and jolly girl Inspires my muse to rhyme. Then Edith comes with tender words, My heart shetll quite ensnare, , Yet When it comes to courting her, I really do not dare. Then Gladys seems to be the one I For whom I,Ve looked So long; And if she tried so very hard, Could have me for a song. And then therets Thelma, fair and sweet; With cheeks 0f glowing pink; A graduate hath captured her, 111 get her, I dontt think. And so it goes throughout the list Of pretty girls I know, But as I really cantt decide, N0 preftrence can I show. +H.L.T. arm 1 3:'. f ha . hhgi e5 . 11L 'dgh .C'K dtz-I' .'

And just for this he strove, throughout his coure to Win, A slave to each and every High School enterpriSe. And all for this he gave his sturdy brawn and brain, And worked and fought for this, until he reached,-The End. And since it fell to my lot, next to inherit, The time faded works of a noble graduate, To be cursed by the students or be praised, While to the world it matters only a little, For death,-not life, is manis greatest and surest judgel But is it important for him to be famous, For When he has trodden the weary paths of life, In pursuit of high ambition, he meetswalas, The End. When wooing beauty shows along a school boys way, He who follows it not but keeps his eye lowered, - Averted from the bustle of society. And he who seeks instead for more studious praise, And scorges himself because his weekness he feels. Why should he not be an honor to all his school? Why should his name be not an everlasting name? Acquaintance, changes to forgotten absence at The End. And thus self haunted but alas,eno not alone, I close my eyes to all the worthless idleness, And struggle With high hope and with concentration. By lights burning bright, eviin passes into morn, To send to the press from the very best of pens, This annual Junco-Ed of J. C. H. S.
