It is very essential to any school that the people of the town co-operate with it. We owe much of our success this year to the business men of this city and we grasp this as a most favorable opportunity to express our appreciation and gratitude. The present editorial staff departs with the sincere hope that the coming JJciijr 24 £tic iiitmir year may witness even a closer relationship between the high school and the citizens of La Grande. ---------o—-------- It is with sorrow and regret that the Seniors bid good-by to dear old L. H. S. and the students and faculty whom they will leave behind. We wish to thank you all for the help and assistance you have at times given us and for the many happy care-free hours we have spent in your midst. Often we became depressed and discouraged when studies became burdensome and six weeks quizzes drew near, but after each siege we marched forth triumphant, knowing we had successfully mastered the stiff questions put to us. Often we sighed and complained and longed for the close of school, but now that it is actually drawing near, we all instinctive- ly, unconsciously feel ourselves wishing it were not so. We realize that the four happiest years of our lives have been spent, that we must bid farewell to some of our dearest friends to face the cold, business-like world which will be a decided change from joyful high school days. In years to come, when we are all launched upon our various careers, some as business men, some as professionals, some as school teachers, some as housewives, and others as itenerants, we shall recall the days of old “L. H. S.” and the memories connected with it will be undoubtedly the most tender and the most fondly cherished ones which we possess. --------o--------- At last spring has come; still somewhat shy, but nevertheless making a slow but sure progress toward a brave and unflinching entry. Let us all strive to make this spring and summer one well worth while. Our people need us, as well as our most efficient workmanship, our city needs us, and last, but not least, our country needs us. Now is the time for united and forceful action; now is the time for each and every individual to show his or her colors, every hue and shade of them, and to determine whether these colors can successfully withstand the roughest winds and the many other opposing forces which they are certain to encounter. Nature has peculiarly endowed each person with at least one gift or abil- ity. It is his duty to develop this ability and to serve therewitn his fel- lowrnan. Fighting is necessary, soldiers are needed, but war is not confin- ed to this alone. The soldiers must be properly clothed and fed if they are to render their best and most satisfactory services to their country and this calls for help from others. Gardens can be planted, waste lands can be utilized, money can be saved both by spending less and by doing more in actual labor, and patriotism and loyalty can be spread broadcast. Our country is calling and it is sacrilege to purposely turn our backs upon her and heed not her call. Geneive Stoddard T7 iThr iflimtr St£l0 filin' 25 We the Class of 1917, being of sound mind, disposing memory and ivory domes, and realizing the uncertainty of this mortal, this desultory life, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. Firstly: we give, devise and bequeath Ares, our beloved mascot, to the Juniors as they have manifested great affection for him. Secondly: we leave Miss Smith to the incoming Freshman. We are jealous of them, that they should have her but fate decrees that our ways must part, therefore we must leave her behind. Thirdly: we hereby bequeath, to the Class of T8, our ability to dodge work, and as individuals, we bequeath our earthly possessions as follows: Helen Ransom bequeaths her ability to bluff to Leal Russell. Mary Newlin bequeaths her ability to evade the Senior ruffians, Jess, Tom and Lynn, to Helen Sims. Marie Love gladly wills her superfluous weight to Gladys Currey, know- ing it will be a mutual benefit. Alfred Johnson wills his ability to “swipe” Freshman Cookies, to Philip Heidenreich and hopes Philip is blessed with the gift of argument as he is. Alfred also leaves the responsibilities of Student Body President, to George McDonald. Jess Andrews bequeaths his vicious habit of chewing------------hands, to any of the Junior boys who desire a pastime. We hope the Junior girls won’t object as strenuously as did the Senior girls. Gladys Black leaves her ability to be absent “and get away with it” to Charles Moran. Helen Poston bequeaths her heart to Harry McClure, as she is afraid he might not take it, otherwise???!!! Renwick Clark says he bequeaths his good looks to Howard Stoddard. Geneive Stoddard wills her skill in using ponderous words to Wilbur Shaw and her perfect English to Dick Roberts. Tom Murphy wills his old overhalls to Dutch Hunter, as he knows the legs will fit. Gladys Taylor leaves her dimples to Icis Bryant. “Skeeter” Reynolds and “Tub Ingle leave their ability to internavigate the school house by means of the airshafts to Willie Heughan. Reed Taylor wills his beautiful blonde locks, acquired through many and frequent applications of peroxide, to Nellie Davis. Warren Forbes wills his seat in Room 10, to the incoming class and furthermore, he leaves all the gum found therein, thereunder, or thereupon, to them, knowing there is sufficiency for all. Vinton Forbes bequeaths his ability as a kidder of the gentler sex to Dewey Glaze, but he admonishes him to use this talent sparingly. Amy Hulse wills her aptitude as a stenographer to Mildred Stringham, and her drastic methods in the library to Oweda Lilly. Roma Jacobson bestows, bequeaths and devises nothing to nobody real- |Jmu' 20 She fHimtr izing only too well that Dutch needs it all. Florence Kimmell wills her ability to get good grades to the incoming Freshmen as she knows that they will need it. Anna Lottes bequeaths her brilliant shorthand translations to Judy Ash, and hopes he will profit therefrom. Leta Kiddle wills her seat in Renwick’s Dodge, to anyone who can “beat her time,” because she doesn’t think it’s possible. Lynn Larson bestows his ability to “roll his own” to George McDonald. It took years of constant practice and tireless effort to develop this manly art, and Lynn expresses the hope that George appreciates the gift. Loyd Chandler bequeaths his smiles to Lena Lottes. Howard Pierson bequeaths his vastness of mind to “Bud Newlin. Harry Moon wills his love for guarding bridges at night to Albert Curry, hoping it will not affect his mind as it did Harry’s. Faye McKinnis wills her talkativeness to Dillie Gray. Margaret Taylor leaves the eare of her little brother to Flossie Lynch. Wythel Wade bequeaths her ability to give current events to Ragnar Johnson. Eleanor Williamson wills her stature to Lee Chenault. William Silverthorn bequeaths his sense of humor to Lloyd Thompson. Jeanne Smith leaves her soldier man to Thelma Oesterling. Alice Spencer leaves her bright colored hosiery to Estelle Graybill. Eugene Millering leaves his girls to Clyde Bunting. He’ll keep the rings so he can remember how many he had. Ralph Poston leaves his ability to get along with Miss Koch to Frank Stilwell. Gertrude Swalberg leaves Olaf-----No, Gertrude changed her mind. She wants him. Ella Muilenburg leaves her lengthy stride to Jack Roger. Amy Miller leaves her stern library-monitor frown to Edith Bragg. Phyllis Magers leaves her golden curls to Julia Hopkins. Not that Julia needs them, but Phyllis wants to leave something, and she would be pretty, even without her curls, so-----(O you’re welcome, Phyllis.) Lastly: we hereby leave our good reputation, as a lasting example to incoming classes for generations and generations. Hereto we set our hand and seal. Done in Room 10, La Grande High School, this 30th day of April, 1917. Gladys Black Gladys: “I don’t see the joke.” Hir lRttntr JJnitr 27 Class pro ilicro On April 26, 1917, I was traveling thru the mountains on a west bound train. It was when the U. S. first started into the great war, and many bridges were being destroyed by fanatical German sympathizers. As we were coming around a sharp curve in the vicinity of North Fork, there came a sharp screech of brakes, a hissing of steam, and then we were plung- ing down—down—then water filled the car! The bridge had been blown up! When I regained consciousness I found myself in an entirely different world. A monorail trolley was running along high above my head, with the words “La Grande Gyroscope Trolley Company” written in large gilt letters on the side. 1 entered an old brick building on a corner and found that it was built on the same plan as the old federal building of La Grande. But how the surroundings had changed! It was the city of La Grande. I thot of the name on the trolley car. Was I mad? A huge calendar hung on the wall, bearing the date June 20, 1950, and at the bottom of the sheet was the name “Eastern Oregon Live Stock Farms-Reynolds Clark.” Could that be Joe and Renwick? I mounted the old familiar stairs and entered the Civil Service rooms. At the first desk sat an old grey headed man, whom I recognized as “Tub” Ingle, and looking over his shoulder I saw a number of printed sheets, and caught the word “Annapolis . Tub was still trying to pass the West Point exams. I spoke to him, but found that I could make no sound. I shuffled my feet, but with the same result. Tub looked wearily around the room, then in my direction hut seemed not to see me. Could it he that I had died in the wreck the day before and had become a spirit, good or evil? It would seem that this was the case. I went down the stairs again and in the general delivery window I recognized Florence Kimmell. As I started out the door I jostled against two men in military uniform, and as I turned to apologize I recognized Lieutenant-General Alfred Johnson and Captain R. Poston. They did not see me, so I went disconsolately down the street to “Silvey’s” corner. In the door stood the proprietor, a middle-aged man with a pleasant face—Jig- gling Bill” Silverthorn, by my father’s head. And at the back stood his wife, a pleasant, comfortable looking lady who looked strangely like the Helen Ransom I had known in high school days. I moved on down the crowded street to where a street fakir was selling something. His shrill voice reached me. “A simple cross doubling of the JJnru' 2B Cl hr iWtmir frame converts the ironing board into an excellent baby carriage, ladie-e-e-s and gentlemen.” It was our fickle fusser, Sing Millering, still following the butterfly path of public favor. 1 turned sadly away and was confronted by a large building, “The Tog- gery” so 1 entered. Jess Andrews stood, smiling, behind a large desk. He was a shade heavier, his hair a shade whiter (if possible) and he looked a trifle older. Otherwise he was the same Jess that taught Hap Moon to say pleasant things to the ladies in 1917. But where was Hap? I started for the Club, but when 1 reached the corner I found a large billiard parlor on the first floor, which the sign told me was owned by Moon and Murphy, and on the floor below was a ring where secret bouts were held. It is rumored that Harry still puts the gloves on occasionally himself. What? No, still single. On the wall of the billiard parlor hung a large picture. It was a picture of Prof. Loyd Chandler, the world-renowned billiard shark making a difficult seven-cushion shot. So Loyd had got the “pool-bug” after all! But he had been disqualified by professionals for playing eight-ball for two-bits a game. I took a walk into the country, and as 1 passed thru Island City I saw a group of ladies in the park talking of the success of Island City live stock in the recent fair. Two gentlemen, J. Reynolds and R. Clark, drove up in a car and took away their wives, Mrs. Leta Clark and another lady whom I had never met. I strolled over to a large monument on the corner, and found that it was erected in the honor of heroic sacrifices made by Wythel Wade, Alice Spencer, Ella Muilenburg, Helen Poston and Jeanne Smith,” who lost their lives when a Red Cross camp, somewhere in Prance was shelled by the Ger- mans in the year 1919. There were tears in my eyes as I left this place, as I thot of the vacant seats which would have been left in old Room 10 if the class of '17 were to reassemble. Down the broad avenue came a spanking team of bays at a furious trot, and in the glistening buggy sat Mrs. Roma Jacobson and her husband, Allyn “Dutch” Hunter Jacobson. Oh, yes! That had been fore-ordained. I swung out on the west road again and passed several farms. On the lawn before a large white farm house, Mr Reed Taylor was affectionately taking leave of his wife Eleanor. He was going to Imbler. Another farm I passed, the Conkey farm it had been, and still was for there stood the former Miss Mary, feeding the ducks. I reached the May Park Schools, and entered the High School building. In the office sat the principal, a stern old dame-Miss Geneive Stoddard. Were they still teaching German? I entered the hall and looked thru the Elrr fUittttr JJcuu' 29 glass door. Anna Lottes was teaching a beginning class in German, and from the room came her voice “Jimmie, decline ‘besprechen’Yes, they still taught German. In Room 7 was a class of Civics, and the presiding officer was Amy Miller. I drifted silently into the library, where two frowning librarians, Amy Hulse and Phyllis Magers, struck terror into the hearts of fresh Fresh- men by their lightning glances. “John, see me tonight in fifteen”, I heard Phyllis say sharply. The bell rang for assembly and I went from force of habit to the au- ditorium and as I stepped aside to admit the Superintendent and his wife, I recognized Warren Forbes and Gladys Taylor. I spoke, but as usual re- ceived no answer. Then followed an interesting lecture by Margaret Taylor on the “Work of Admiral Pierson in the Phillippines.” From the school I went back to the main part of La Grande, and enter- ed the Metropolitan Theatre. It was a five reel film “Thistledown” featur- ing Gertrude Swalberg, supported by Faye McKinnis and her Dancing Daisies. I left the show, thinking of my many classmates who had crossed the Great Divide, and wandered to the graveyard. As I passed the Shilke Home for Broken-down Circus Actresses and Aged Spinisters, I saw two old ladies sitting contentedly on the broad ver- anda, knitting and chatting of the days that had been. At last Marie Love and Gladys Black had found peace. I reached the cemetery and walked among the graves. Here and there I saw a name I had known. Suddenly a marble cross loomed up before me, with the inscription “Sacred to the Memory of Lynn H. Larson, who was killed in a wreck on April 26, 1917.” Then I was dead!!! I reeled away, my only thot being to get in an empty box car and leave my old home town. I reached the railroad yards and climbed into a box car. It was dark, but I heard a shuffling of feet and out of the gloom came VINTON FORBES!! “Where yuh goin’, Pardner?” he asked. At last I had been seen. “Vint,” I cried, “don’t you know me?” He did, and we talked for several hours, when I noticed a bundle under his arm. “What have you there, Billikin?” I asked. He unrolled the object and a wooden soldier dropped on the floor. “Ares” he said simply. Lynn Larson Eugene: “I don’t know why the girls all like me so well.” $Jagr 30 ffljp iflimir 0 5 When in the course of human events it became necessary to designate two people to compile the annals of the class of 1917 into an historical epic, it was discovered that only two members had faithfully made entries in their respective diaries through all these years of toil and tribulation, and accordingly these two were rewarded by being designated to write the first, last and only history of the class of ’17. Ye gods! What a reward! As we open the well worn pages of our diaries they agree that our first year was spent in the company of the one other member of the origin- al class, Anna Lottes. In the second grade “Skeet” Reynolds came to us and our little body of four toiled steadily upward to the seventh grade where Gertrude Swalberg, William Silverthorn and Alice Spencer joined us. But in our Freshman year our numbers increased rapidly and we became the most powerful class of the H. S. This year Lynn Larson, Howard Pier- son, Ralph Poston, Amy Hulse, Marie Love, Helen Poston, Warren Forbes, Vinton Forbes and Eleanor Williamson allied themselves with us. Verily, we were then a strong class, but we still increased in numbers and in our Sophomore year there came to us Gladys Black, Florence Kimmell, Amy Miller, Geneive Stoddard, Wythel Wade, Ella Muilenberg, Leta Kiddle, Harry Moon, Jess Andrews, Phyllis Magers, Eugene Millering, and Jeanne Smith. This year we overwhelmingly defeated the Seniors who challenged our supremacy in athletics. In our Junior year our hearts were filled with pleasure by the entrance of a “sweet little, dear little,” girl, who gloried in the name of Mary—Mary Newlin. Our class was still too many in numbers to occupy only one room, so we continued to be divided into two flocks, one good shepherd being Miss Smith and the other Mr. McIntosh. When we came to the halls of L. H. S. to enter upon our Senior year, we were overjoyed to see that there were still recruits who wanted to grad- uate with us, namely, Margaret Taylor, Renwick Clark, Faye McKinnis, Gladys Taylor, Reed Taylor, Roma Jacobson, Helen Ransom, Loyd Chandler and Tom Murphy. All went well with our class until the Spring when we became scatter- ed. Nine boys enlisted as bridge guards and others took up the “back to the farm movement.” Now when all the men were gone, the Juniors treach- erously attacked the women and stole our mascot and took him to the house of one, Ralph Root, who intrusted the keeping of said Ares to the lady of the house, knowing that we were sportsmen-like and would not attack women. Now these same child-like Juniors feel quite elated over their conquest, but it will not be for long. In our dairies we find a solemn agreement, that when graduation time draws near, we will chastise them severely as in former times, so they will never make the mistake of thinking they have “put one over” the great, grand, glorious and unequalled class of ’17. —Clayton Ingle Alfred Johnson Ti;r iftimir |Jaur 3X STUDENT BODY Alfred Johnson Superintendent McCullough George McDonald Geneive Stoddard Jess Andrews Principal Hampton Alfred: I claim Miss Koch don’t give me a square deal.

War has claimed many athletes, not only from La Grande, but from practically every high school and college in the coun- try. It was due to this condition that there was no regular track team in the high school this spring, and what the fall will bring forth in the way of athletics is an uncertainty, for L. H. S. is made up of loyal, fearless Americans in whom love of country is so strong, that sacrifice for the flag is a priviJ ege.

Howard $Jmir 44 (El]p itlnuir In February the students gave a dance in the gym. This was held after the basketball game with Pendleton, and the Pendleton hoys were the guests. A large number of town people also attended. The girls wore sack aprons and some of the hoys wore overalls and bandannas. The music was furnished by Lindsey’s orchestra, and the faculty were chaperones. It was a splendid success socially and financially. ---------o-------- CARNIVAL One of the most exciting events of the year, was “pulled off” in the gymnasium when the H. S. Carnival was held. On Tuesday a parade was staged, in which the business establishments were given the privilege of using any method they wished, to advertise. Nearly all the H. S. boys and some of the girls took part in this and made a fairly good showing in spite of a steady down-pour of rain. The following Friday the carnival was held. Tickets sold at twenty-five cents and the business men, and many others who bought tickets are to be heartily thanked for their support. Five tents were erected in the gym, each one housing a special attrac- tion, at five cents per attraction. They were as follows: Dancing Dolls; Maid from Waikiki; Jocko Roberts, the fire eater; For Men only; For Women Only. We cannot disclose the nature of the last named attractions. The public were well satisfied—at least none of them called for their money back. At eight o’clock the tents were taken down, and the main show began. Following are some of the events: Rope artist, Jack O’Niell Jr; Act by “Dancing Dolls”; Boxing, C. D. Ema- hiscr vs. L. McCullough; Wrestling, P. A. Foley vs. “Tubby” Niles, referreed by O’Niel, Pacific Coast Champion; Sharp Shooter, our bad man. Lynx Larson; Act by Famous Watt’s Vaudeville Troup; Boxing, Dick Roberts vs. F. L. Myers; Boxing, Wm, Heughan vs. Ralph Root; Hula Hula; Burlesque on H. S. Cadets, by Miss Tozier’s gym class; Biscuit Shooting, Teddy Heidenrich, Champion; Bull dogging steer for World’s Championship—held by “The Sen- ior”, Reed Taylor; Thrilling act by fire eater, Jocko Roberts; and lastly the much advertised “Death Whirl” Motorcycle Race, won by Mike Carrol. Cups were awarded to Teddy Heidenrich and Mike Carrol but we are very sorry to state that there was a mistake in the order and instead of silver cups, tin ones were sent. Medals were presented to other winners, Gus Rosenbaum Ehr iWimtr }Jaiu' 45 winning the chorus girl’s contest. We are very glad to say that it was very successful financially as this was the fundamental purpose of the car- nival. --------o-------- On Friday the 13th of April, the girls’ glee club from Baker H. S. invad- ed the town with colors flying. They visited classes in the afternoon and in the evening gave the operetta “In India.” There were about forty members in the organization, and the production was very spectacular, due to the beautiful costuming and stage setting. (We enjoyed their visit very much, and are hoping that our glee club will be able to go there next year.) After the entertainment, light refreshments were served to all those wishing to stay, and later an impromptu dance was given in the gym. The members of Company M were special guests. --------o-------- JUNIOR BANQUET The annual Junior Bauquet was held in the gym, on Saturday evening. April 21, at 7:00 o’clock. Before the banquet, the Juniors presented a little farce, in which they impersonated the Seniors. This was given in the au- ditorium after which the company adjourned to the banquet room, which was prettily decorated in the class colors and pennants. Covers were laid for eighty and a delicious five course dinner was served. Howard Stoddard, President of the Junior Class as Toast Master, announced the following toasts: to the Seniors, Lena Stein; response, Alfred Johnson; to the Faculty, Clyde Bunting; response, Mr. McCullough. To the mascot. Ares, Jesse Own- by; response, Geneive Stoddard. Ares was then presented to the Seniors, by the Juniors who had previously stolen him. A large ’18 in brass tacks dec- orated the front of his blue coat, but a little work made it into a ’17. The concluding toast To the Flag” was to have been given by Mr. Hampton. He was unable to be present at the banquet, but he requested that the company pledge their allegience to the flag, in his absence. In accordance with his wish at the conclusion of the program the company rose, and fac- ing the flag pledged to it and to the nation for which it stands, their alleg- iance. --------o-------- Among the musical events which have taken place in the High School auditorium since our last issue are the Willamette Glee Club concert and The Wild Rose,” an operetta under the auspices of the Neighborhood Club. One of the leading parts in this production was taken by Miss Mary Newlin of the class of ’17 and was given by her in a most unique and altogether enjoyable manner.

I'm sure no one would take Sing for your father. You don’t look bad at all together. If he could shrink some it might help out some, but since that is most im- possible I guess you will have to grow. But,really you don’t look a bit bad, so don’t be sensitive, my dear.

We wish we were all millionaires And had great gobs of kale Then to pay our high school debts We surely would not fail; But as it is, it costs us Every cent we call our own, And as we hand the sheckles out They vanish bone by bone. It’s money for our student dues It’s four bucks for a ring; It’s two twenty-five for a little pin You can hardly see the thing. (Second spasm) It’s money for the lyceum course. It's kale for a student hop. It’s two bits for our Cranford Tea, But red tea, there wasn’t a drop. It's money for the Armenian relief, It’s money for orphans home, It’s money, money, all the time Till we’re nutty in the dome. It’s kale for this and it’s kale for that. Always the same old tune Then it’s six bits more for this famous hook Managed by Harry Moon. (Third spasm) We had to raise some kale somewhere So to Union we did go And there we joined the section gang And shoveled in the snow. We didn’t get any sleep that night, But toiled the whole night through We worked and shirked with all our might Until our kale was due. The boss then hollered, “quitting time And homeward we did go. But when we counted our copecks up Every cent we found we’d owe. (Final Struggle) So it’s good bye moving picture shows And it’s good bye cigarettes For we must save our jitneys up To pay our high school debts. But our high school days draw near an end Soon we’ll leave that famous hand And each go down the primrose path, With sheep skins in our hands. But when we face the cruel old world And our high school days are done We’ll wish then we were back again So we could spend our mon.
