The Seniors wish to thank the Business Men, the Faculty and the Students who have made the Mimir possible. We hope that it has given the reader some pleasure.

The first activity of the Senior Class was a picnic. This took place about three weeks after school started, in a very pleasant location near Summerville. The night was ideal and everybody reported a good time. The Senior play “What Happened to Jones” occupied much time, but proved to be worth the effort exerted on it, not only financially but in other ways. A banquet was given by the rest of the Seniors to the cast which was successful in every way altho we were visited while in the process of eating by a number of Juniors and lower class men. It has been customary each year for the seniors to have an all day picnic, so we did not break the good precedent set by the former classes of Seniors. Good weather favored us so none of the high spirits were in the least dampened. The Junior-Senior Banquet which is one of the leading social events of the year took place May 1st. We were delightfully entertained at the High School by a pleasing program after the banquet. Dancing followed at the M. I. A. Hall. JEAN STEARNS Page 24 On a sunny day in September 1916, there were many bright looking boys and girls trudging up the hill toward the old L. H. S. Why did they all seem so happy? Maybe they didn’t all seen that way, but nevertheless it looked enticing. Who were these especially happy tho rather timid looking boys and girls? Why—they were the Freshmen on their way to the first day in high school. For eight long years they had worked to reach this height and at last—success! From all the things they had heard, a Freshman ought to feel rather young and meek, yet being Freshmen ourselves we couldn’t, no matter how green we might look, still we thought we had accomplished wonders in this busy world. How young we must have really been! Where are all those boys and girls who were so easily recognized in the throng? Where are they that began with us, of whom we have nearly lost sight altogether? Among these were: Emmett Hamlin, Glen Saling, Elonzi Lilly, and Oweda Lilly, Katie Maier, Ragnor Johnson, Thedore and Adolph Kammerer, Carroll Swart, Josephine Bradley, Bernice Brown, Silas Summons, Herbert Reaves, Esther Byng, Marton Honeywell, Lila Mallory, Dora Snider, Faye Wilcock and Wldridge Huffman. There are a few who having gained all the knowledge they consid- ered necessary for future comfort and happiness left us long ago, of whom we have some record. Gus Rosenbaum is working; Clifford Hofstman has just recently been discharged from the service of Uncle Sam: Charles Moran is like Gus, just hanging around; Harley McDonald is farming, trying to feed the world (oh); Harry McClure is another chap (just what is he doing?) Gladys Ainsworth is a working girl; Robert Miller is a very industrious lad; Eva German is now Mrs. Elam Briggs; Donna Smith is attending school at the Sacred Heart Academy; Gladys Herr is at Walla Walla; Frances Pierson—now Mrs. Herschel Horstman. There are seven people who started with the class of 1916 who for various reasons are not graduating this year, but are still in L. H. S. We got along very well with our work, Algebra, History, etc, until January 1917, when a few new Freshmen entered. Oh how green we thought they were! They certainly had a good opinion of themselves. When in assembly, Mr. Hampton asked the faculty to rise, twenty-five frightened rooks stood at attention. We have only three of the twenty-five mid-year Freshies graduating with us: DeLoris Pearson, Marcella Berry and Bessie Moran. In our Sophomore year we had forty-eight members and lost, for awhile, one of our well known members, Dallas Green, when he enlisted. We were making a good name for ourselves by this time, in our ability in taking care of rooks, etc. Finally we were Juniors. Oh! how good that did feel, we just had to stop and take a long breath in order to realize this. By this time only Page 25 thirty-one of the sixty who started were left. Again we were important, because of our amateur theatrical workers, through Florence Lynch, Loyd Thompson, Marcella Berry and DeLoris Pearson. The Junior-Senior Banquet was most assuredly a success this year. Now we are Seniors—how did we ever do it? There are various answers to this question. Girls who wished to graduate with a real class came from neighboring towns, namely; Ruth Blackington, Jean Stearns, Minnie and Ina Watkins,(537 letters). Thelma Stanley, Hazel Wright and La Rue Hanks. From Concordia, Kansas, our “lunatic” Lowell Smith join- ed us. From Denver,—oh daddy! our heart breaker! Frank Crippen came. Then several boys who had been in the service joined us, Kenneth Wil- liamson, Dallas Green, Chet Thompson, Toot Garity, Frank Crippen had all been “over there.” These boys were formerly students of the good old L. H. S. Finally, this illustrious class is ready to graduate. If you want some proof of the “pep” and ability of this class of ’20 hunt up news on the Senior Play, “What Happened to Jones”—or just read the best issue of the Mimir. There are still forty-five bright faced students ready to receive their diplomas into this wide world on May 28, 1920. Bessie Moran ’20 Julia Hopkins ’20 Romance of the West Age old and sad they haunt the sky, As spring and summer pass them by. Pine clad the rugged mountains stand That watch above my western land. As daylight fades behind their crest And twilight gathers in the West It seems a land of vague content, Half western and half orient. Half orient with the mystery Of zephyrs from a peaceful sea; And western. Ah because t’was here The cowboy found the last frontier. At night among the chaparell Where long ago a chieftain fell, ' Faint breezes moan across the sand In peaceful valleys here they rest: His message from the spirit land. Brave souls who grappled with the West. Whose faces showed no sign of fear When they stepped past Life’s last frontier. WILBUR SHAW.

Dear Minnie: Of all the strange experiences, I’ve certainly had them since I last saw you. Every day something new and startling has happened, and I’ve met many of our old school friends in the class of ’20. After I left you in Paris, I first went to the London Book Concern, in London, England, with the intention of selling the copyright to my latest hook, “Along the Diamond Trail. To my great surprise, I found that the manager of this famous concern was Eugene Newlin. I had quite a delight- ful chat with him, but was surprised and bitterly disappointed when he refused to offer me more than a million dollars for my book. I needn't have been, though, because I always thought he would be that kind of a man. The very next day I took a steamer to New York. The Captain, who was a tall, broad-chested man, with long flowing black beard, looked some- how faintly familiar, and I watched him a great deal. At last when he smiled, I recognized him—he was Thomas Hill. He said he had been captain of that ship for ten years, and liked the work quite well. He also told me that Blanford Shores was the founder of the Special Toy Manufacturing Co., in Boston. The toys put out by this company were designed for the special amusement of high school students, They would prevent the recitations from tiring the boys and girls too much. 1 suppose Blanford originated the idea during some of his recitations in 1920. Tommie started to tell me about La Rue Hanks, but he was suddenly called away, and I just caught something which sounded like “Hewing”. I did not get another chance to talk to him, and so I do not know what he meant. A few days later, I reached New York, and was soon speeding in a taxi-cab to my hotel. I hadn’t gone far however, when my car was stopped by a great crowd of people thronging the streets. They seemed to be gathering around some one in the center who was speaking. Every few minutes they would cheer and clap their hands like mad. I climbed out of the taxi and pressed forward, but while I could hear some shrill voice arguing about “small peoples’ rights,” I could not see a single thing. At last, when I had pushed right in front, I saw a tiny little lady up on a soap box, waving and shouting wildly. Yes, it really was Atrelle White! Before I had time to collect my thoughts, a queer man with wild, stareing eyes came rushing up with another box, and placing it beside Atrelle’s, jumped upon it, and began imitating her. Some one in the crowd shouted, “Oh, that lunatic Smith has got out again!” Before they jerked him away, I had time to see that it was my old school friend, Lowell Smith. It certainly is dreadful to think how play-acting will afterwards effect one’s mind. Atrelle was very indignant at Lowell for interrupting her, and de- Page 29 parted without speaking any more. I then went on to my hotel, and while I was sitting in the lobby, a newsboy brought me an evening paper. Glancing over it, I was suddenly startled by the headline:GERALDINE FARRAR'S TRAGIC DEATH.” I hurriedly read on the following lines: “At a recent musical con- cert in Venice, Italy, Mademoiselle Florence Lynch outsang the great Geraldine Farrar. Immediately after the concert, the latter went to her room, and in a mad frenzy, stabbed herself.” Isn’t that dreadful? I quickly turned over to the next page, and what did I find there but a long account telling about Walter Blokland and Cecil Young, the chief winners in a series of automobile and motorcycle races, just given a short distance outside of New York. The article said they had received their early training during their last year in high school. It seems that I remember something about their races that year, don't you? Just below this article I read in glaring headlines: “QUAILTRACK'S ESCAPES AGAIN” This item told how Chester Thompson, alias Quailtracks, one of the world’s most daring robbers, had again escaped from jail for the sixteenth time. A reward of $2000 was offered if he could be taken dead or alive. After reading this, I threw the paper down and rushed outside for some fresh air. Not having any success in New York, I decided to go on to San Francisco. On my way I stopped in Chicago for one night, and attended one of the leading operas. The first number was a piano solo, and the beautiful and gracious lady who came out to play it, was Lois Given. The piece she played was wonderfully pathetic, and soon all around me, the people were silently wiping tears from their eyes. When she finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. After having seen so many of the old class of '20, I had a sudden desire to go back to La Grande, and see if 1 could meet any more. When I arrived there, I was greatly amazed. You would never know the town now, Minnie, for it is a metropolis with a population of 500,000. I had heard many interesting things about Fruitdale, so I thought I would visit it. 1 started all right, but soon lost my way, and had not the faintest idea where I was, while I was wondering what to do, a policeman came up and asked if he could be of any assistance. He was no other than Omer Barnwell. Omer told me he had been a policeman for six years, but was now thinking seriously of becoming a detective. By his aid, I soon reached Fruitdale, which is a busy part of the city now. Just as I came, the Fruitdale Special pulled in, and I found that Harry Proctor was conductor. He said he certainly wished the train had been there in 1920. He told me that Robert Emahiser was the editor of “The Hurricane,” a breezy La Grande daily. Robert did start to write a book but found I was writing the same thing, so ga e it up. After walking all day, I dropped into one of La Grande’s big moving- picture houses to get a little rest. There was a Harold Lloyd comedy, but instead of Bebe Daniels acting with Harold, it was Marcella Berry. I couldn’t find anyone else I knew, so I started on to San Francisco. As we were passing thru a bit of wooded land in Northern California, Page 30 something happened to the engine and our train had to stop for a few hours. During the wait, several other passengers and I went for a stroll through the woods. We had not gone far when ve heard some music. Going in that direction, we soon saw thru the branches of the trees, a pretty little gypsy, dressed in green and red silks, and doing a dance with a tambourine. She was surrounded by an admiring audience, and when she finished, they went forward to have their fortunes told. We went up also, and I made the startling discovery that the gypsy was Winifred Kenneda. She said she made lots of money, and liked the gypsv life because it was so free. After 1 had arrived in San Francisco and succeeded in finally sell- ing my book, I went for a walk about the city. I suddenly saw a sign in front of a shop, which read as follows: BEAUTY PARLOR RUTH WIL- LIAMS AND BESSIE WALKER MANAGERS. “Take a Plunge in the Fountain of Youth and Become Young Again.” I went inside and had a nice time visiting with them. They told me that Martin Stein was a wealthy farmer in the Sahara Desert. He had acquired the laud quite early and irrigated it extensively. Now he had all of Burbanks latest discoveries planted there and was producing wonderful crops the whole year round. They also told me that Thelma Standley had bought a large cattle ranch in Arizona, and was managing it herself. They said she certainly looked very lively on her cow pony, with a sombrero on her head, and a lasso in her hand. I stayed in San Francisco a few days and then came on to Hawaii, as I had heard that some one from La Grande was here. I had been in Honolulu for several days, without seeing anyone I knew, when one day I walked into an ice-cream parlor there, and found Julia Hopkins sitting at a fountain eating a hot tamale as of old. She isn’t Julia Hopkins anymore though, because she is now the wife of Governor Arthur of Hawaii. The Governor and Julia were on their way to the swimming contests at Wakiki Beach and asked me to join them. I did, and was almost over-whelmed when I found Ruth Blackington down at the beach, and she told me she intended entering the diving contests. Of course she won, as she is now known as the greatest diver in the world. She is Annette Kellerman’s only real successor. I intend to stay here in Hawaii a little longer visiting Ruth and Julia, but am not sure where I shall go next. Have you seen any of the class of '20? As ever, your sister, ________________________________ INA. Cairo, Egypt. June 21, 1935. Dear Ina: I was very much surprised to hear about your thrilling adventures. I too have had a great many while trying to sell stock in a radio which sends messages to Mars. When I left France, I started for the southern part of Greenland. Page 31 As I was strolling along on the deck of the ship, I saw someone coming near me who looked strangely familiar. When he had come quite close, I recognized him as Grant Geddes. My, how he had changed. He was an exceedingly tall dignified man with many grey hairs. No wonder he had changed. He is King of Greenland and has many responsibilities. He told me he was going home to Greenland, where I visited him later and sold him stock in the radio. He has a beautiful mansion. I learned from Grant that Stephen Blore was a United States Sena- tor from Oregon- He was a great debater, and by one of his famous debates he had caused an elevator to be put in the dear old La Grande High for the special benefit of the Seniors. A few days later 1 sailed for Canada. I stopped at Ottawa, and while waiting at the depot a little boy gave me a paper. It was a program of a May Day Festival, directed by the teacher of the English department, Bessie Moran. I always thought she would make a teacher, but never imagined she would have such tremenduous success. She is known all over Europe as a great teacher of English. I wanted to stay and hear the May Festival, but could not, so hurried on to the Klondike regions in Alaska. Several of ray friends and I went to visit the gold mines. Coming up a steep hill I could see men running. They seemed to be very excited. We ran to the place where they were, and learned that a slide had occur- red at one of the mines. A young man went down to rescue some of the men and was lost. And don’t you know, it was Chester Millering? They found him later, and I had an interesting talk with him. He has a large interest in the gold mines and I sold him stock in the radio. He told me that he was almost positive that I could sell Dorothy Lewis some stock if I went to Russia where she was. I left in a few days and found Dorothy in Petrograd. She is a teacher in the Domestic Science there. The United States government sent her to Russia to teach the people the modern way of cooking. While I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I sold over two million dollars worth of stock. The day I started to leave I heard the United States for- eign minister was greatly enthused about sending messages to Mars, and wanted to see me personally, so I could tell him all about it. I went and to my great surprise as I opened the door there stood Loyd Thompson, the foreign minister of the United States. Did you ever think of such a thing happening? Something still more surprising happened in Italy. One day as I was hurrying to catch a boat in Naples, the wind blew my hat off. I ran after it for a block or two and was just on the verge of despair when a gentleman caught it. I thanked him and just started to continue my journey when I heard him say, “Don’t you know me?” It was Kenneth Williamson. I had had so many surprises by now that 1 didn’t know what to expect, but waited patiently till he told me what he was doing in Italy. He said he was trying to find a certain little Mademoiselle he once knew hi 1918. He had been in France, but was told that she had gone to Italy. Page 32 Just then a friend of his came up and here was Dallas Green. I was not surprised when Dallas told me he was writing poetry because he used to write it in 1920. The poetry he writes now is most beautiful and flowery. I told them what I was doing and about seeing many of the Seniors of 1920. They said they met Raymond Garity on their ship from the United States. He is the champion prize fighter of the world, and called the second Jack Dempsey. When I went to Venice I saw some beautiful paintings in an art gallery. I never noticed who the artist was but started on when I sudden- ly saw a large sign, PAINTINGS BY JEAN STEARNS. I could hardly be- lieve my eyes but thought “Oh, it must be someone else.” As I went on my way I kept wondering if it possibly could be she. Finally I decided to see if it was. I went to her home and sure enough it was the same Jean. One morning as I was studying where to go next, I received a telegram from Sydney, Australia, saying for me to come immediately, as people were going wild about sending messages to Mars, and they had no agent there. One day while in Australia, I saw a large farm of kangaroos. Every- one said the manager was very wealthy, so as I thought I could easily sell him some stock, I went to visit him. In came a short stout man with black whiskers. I did not recognize him at all, and who do you suppose it was? It was Frank Crippen. He asked me if I was Minnie Watkins that was a Senior in 1920 in the La Grande High School. I told him I wasl. He (said it was hard to believe but it must be true. 1 told him that I thought it must be a dream to see him standing there. How he had changed! He was so dignified and never “cracked” such jokes as he used to. I found out from him that De Loris Pearson was going to a medical school in New York to learn how to take care of her husband, be it Ebenezer or Ted. Don’t you know Hazel Wright and Eva Ledbetter have a large sheep farm in Australia? They have the best grade of sheep on the market. They went wild over the possibility of sending messages to Mars. For they wanted to know if there were any better sheep there. Dear me! What is this world coming to? From Australia I was called to Calcutta, India. As I had read in the paper that Reba Hopper was manager of this independent country, I was not surprised to see her there. She told me that Ruth Trill was head nurse in a large hospital in New York. I believe she said it was the largest one there. I accidently mentioned to Reba that I needed a stenographer and she told me that Thelma Osterling was in a city which was only twenty- five miles from Calcutta. I engaged Thelma as my stenographer and to my amazement she could make two hundred and fifty words a minute. Isn’t that wonderful? Thelma told me that Gladys Currey was a great designer of fash- ions. I never thought of her doing this for I remember in 1920 she did Page 33 not have much fondness for this profession. I went to Armenia not long ago and while at a banquet I was in- troduced to the Food Administrator. How astonishing! It was Theodore Heidenrich. He certainly can entertain the ladies. Yesterday I decided to call on one of my friends here in Cairo. When I was in the passenger airship I could not find a seat and a tall dark complectioned man offered me his chair. I stood and gazed at him for sometime and then I laughed. He looked very indignant and then I apologized. I asked him if his name was not Grant Swalberg and he said yes. He told me that he was an inventor. He makes gum for pupils, that fade away when the teacher looks that way. I tried some and it certainly will fade away when you want it to. I will send you some. It has a remarkable flavor. That evening when I returned from my visit I noticed that a new building was being erected. Inquired and found out that a lady was going to keep relics of all kinds here. This aroused my curiosity and I visited the place. I discovered that Essie Johnson was the lady, and among the many antique relics I found our dear mascot, Budda. I guess about the next time you hear from me I will be in Japan. Your affectionate sister MINNIE WATKINS Lament Dearest school upon the hillside, We must leave you with a sigh; Leave the class rooms, hall and campus. For at last we say “Good-bye.” Now the halls are still and quiet, No more scurrying, sly retreats; And I breathe a sigh of sadness As I look at empty seats. Basket ball and foot ball’s over. And the victories all are told; And there’s no more songs and yelling For the dear old colors, which hold. During seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, Spent within the La Grande High, We have learned to love you dearly, And we hate to say ‘Good-bye.” But we wish you future greatness, May your flag in honor fly; As we leave the dear old school house And in sadness, say “Good-bye.” D.

The class of ’21 began its hazardous journey with 99 members, all green as the Freshmen before us. In our Sophomore year, there were fi9 and this year 58. The decrease in number has had very little effect upon the spirit of the class. We have had two class parties, two picnics and we gave a Leap Year dance for the school. The latter we consider the grandest social activity of the year. The Juniors are not lacking in athletics. We won the champion- ship of the school, both boys and girls, in basket ball. There were four members on the football team and three on the basket ball team. The least said about track, the better. Taking everything into consideration, we have made a worthy, and enviable record.

Mrs. Katherine Pierce and Carol Currey were the chaperones for the day. The students gathered at the high school and walked until about noon and someone wanted to eat and they all dropped at that instant and could go no further until their hunger was appeased. They managed to get to Morgan Lake and the boys built a fire and made some coffee and spread the dinner while the girls and chaperons were recuperating. After a delightful meal we started around the lake to take some pictures and about 3 o’clock we were drifting back home. Although everyone had a wonderful time we were all glad lo get back to town.

The class gave a varied program of music and dancing December 4. One of the most entertaining features was the “Clown Dance” given by eight girls in appropriate costume. The students and faculty united in their praise of Miss Fariss, the class advisor who directed this program. About the midle of October, in nineteen hundred and nineteen, the Freshmen decided to give a picnic. Several Freshmen donated their cars for the purpose of taking other members of the class, the Freshmen teachers, and the eats, to the picnic grounds. We started for Mt. Glenn one evening after school, with the cars loaded to their utmost capacity. Getting started was quite an exciting event, every one laughing and getting seated and wondering if the eats hadn’t been forgotten. While on our way to Mt. Glenn, some racing took place between several of the cars and the truck. We finally reached our destination, then every one was soon out of (he cars and the boys gathered wood for a (ire. The warm flames were welcomed by all, as the atmosphere was beginning to grow cold. After a short time we began to feel rather “lank” and Miss Fariss and Miss Heess distributed among us the many weiners we had brought to be roasted. These dainty morsels were placed on forked sticks and then thrust into the flames to be blackened and smoked for awhile. The disfigured weiners were accompanied by buns and pickles which we devoured with great relish. At last we finished up with a box of apples. We were entertained first by Clem Regan and then by Miss Heess who played on a mandolin. Later in the evening we played games. Like all picnics, ours had to come to a close and rather reluctantly we put out the fire and began to leave for home. Our journey towards town was not such a jolly affair as the trip out had been earlier in the evening, when we were just leaving the school house, even though enough noise was made. We reached town before we hardly realized it and then we bad our companions good night. THE FRESHMAN PICNIC DFLORA SHAFER. Page 47 Grant Swalberg II M. DuBois A. C.

Page 49 Page 50 (FIRST PRIZE STORY) “Nice weather”, mused Pug, a young mongrel pup, as he was going around the corner of the country house that was his home. “Oh, Bones! Now I wonder what Mrs. Tomkins is doing with my most recent bone? Strictly talkin’ I can’t stand for anyone but myself to be usin’ my bones.” “Pssssst-meoww-sspit”. “Aw shut up and get off my bones. Can’t you? You can’t drown me with that kind of stuff anyway, move woudself,” growled Pug. Well Mrs. Tomkins did move herself, over the chicken house, while Pug followed, via the other route. Three times around the house and Pug still on her heels. Then this unruly neighbor’s cat hit on an idea, and a brilliant one at that. “Why not climb a tree?” Three more times around the house and once around the barn went Mrs. Tomkins to gather momentum for the climb, then to the orchard and up a tree, just out of Pugs reach. “I see you’ve got Mrs. Tomkins up a tree,” said Collie, a good-natured sensible dog who had just come from his home at the other end of the orchard. “Yes, I s’pose so, but now I can’t do nothin’, only stan’ here while she takes a nap,” responded Pug gloomily. Say, Collie, why did them that makes dogs fix us so we can’t climb, when cats can do all the climbin' they want, and they ain’t worth a pickyune anyhow?” “Because,” responded Collie, “ordinary dogs are most all satisfied with the ground, as dogs weren't supposed to chase cats at all.” “Well, I don’t like that at all, but you’r sure we are entitled to all the ground we need,” asked Pug. “Certainly,” assured Collie. “Sure we are.” “Well, now, last night I was takin’ a snooze in a paper basket, when the master comes along, and just then I wasn’t entitled to anything for ’bout twenty feet, cept a feelin’ back there 'bout where my tail’s fastened on. Thot pins was stiekin’ in me,” blurted out Pug, “and that ain’t fair.” “You should do what the people tell you,” advised Collie, “and things like that wont happen.” “People, people? Aw what you feedin’ me. Them things think jist cause they can stan’ on two feet, and do things with the other two that they’re boss, yes and some can climb trees, too.” “Look to your bones!” yelped Collie. “It’s Mr. Tomkins,” barked Pug, “and he’s eatin’ my bones,” he wailed. “Guard the tree for me. Collie, while I corner the old man, will you?” and Pug without waiting for an answer departed. Mr. Tomkins, a well learned cat, ran straight to, and up the tree where Mrs. Tomkins was settled, and carried the vexed Pug’s best bone with him, and was beside Mrs. Tomkins before Collie could or would inter- rupt. Page 51 When Pug returned, Collie said “Good-by,” and went home. Pug then layed down to keep watch, only to wake up and find it early morning, of another day, and there were no Tomkinses in the apple tiee, either. The brown and yellow butterflies were flitting from one flower to another, in a small well-kept garden. The Wrens and Robins could he heard singing in the blossoming cherry trees, and the barnyard added its strange melody to the clear call of a meadow lark far out in the fields. All mingled and helped in a strange way to bewilder Pug. Pug after walking around the house in a dazed way, and finding his bones all in order by his tin milk pan, the sun now high in the sky, and the fairy tints of its first beams all disappeared, Pug reluctantly decided that he had been dreaming. That afternoon Pug joined Collie, and together they went out to hunt in the fields. They passed the Tomkinses on their way and they seemed quite as friendly as could he expected of Cats. The dogs ate a few meadow mice, and watched the sun set before returning home. Thus passed one day in the life of a playful, mongrel puppy. MILKS KINNE m There’s a little cabin resting. In the West, upon the hills, Past it runs a laughing streamlet— Calling softly, with its rills, There’s a bird I love a singing. Perched close by upon a tree, And the waning sun is bringing. Western night and mystery. How the pines have caught the cadence. Of a restful hymn of night. And they whisper it so softly. That a heavy heart seems light. Then you bow your head and wonder. As a cool breeze whispers by, How a man could cherish hatred Underneath this peaceful sky. Way out here I lost the envy, That T always used to know, For a brother that was better, Dressed for life’s parade and show. And I’ve found a nameless something, That I love, as years roll on. It will always grow more dearer, In the heart of Oregon. WILBUR SHAW. Page 52 (SECOND PRIZE STORY) 0 In the Klondike mining region of Alaska, Mick Harlowe and Jim Roberts determined to make their fortune. No one knew their real names but soon learned the hoys answered when called Mick and Jim, so that was as familiar as anyone ever became in regard to their names. Mick and Jim had been inseparable companions since childhood and were now young men of twenty-nine and thirty-one years of age. They had been miners in the Klondike for several years, going to Juneau for camp supplies twice during the winter. Mick was becoming discouraged and disgusted with a new mine he and his partner had started, so one day after one of the frequent argu- ments the two had, Mick decided to take what gold he had and start for the States by way of the Youkon River and Juneau. “Better not go to-day, looks as though we were going to have an- other terrible storm,” said Jim, observing the black canopy of clouds over head. “And, he added in quieter tones, “your old enemy, Eagle Feather, knows you are going to leave camp with all your gold dust. F saw him watching you this morning.” “Oh, you are just trying to get me in a humor to stay with the old mine; I am not afraid of Eagle Feather, storms or anything else. Listen here, Jim, I positively know the mine will never produce anything.” “We wont talk about the mine, but some day it will surprize you. Anyway you know these Alaskan storms; you can wait until tomorrow at the least. 1 tell you Mick, I know what I am talking about.” “Yes, I imagine”, muttered Mick, and started hitching his dogs to the sled. In a few minutes he was seen quite a distance down the trail, flourishing his whip and yelling at his dogs. Jim watched him and wished he had made more objection at Micks leaving. The night came on at last, covering the sky in inky blackness, and the men of Jim's camp sat down to the supper table. Jim soon detected the vacancy of Eagle Feather’s chair and pondered upon this somewhat uneasily. After a brief inquiry, no one knew where the missing Indian was. The wind began to blow, and it sent howling, piercing shrieks around the houses of the camp. The snow fell in great eddies only to be carried by the wind in drift upon drift. All night long Jim listened to the storm and pondered and worried. Often he arose from his bed and placed his hands to his face and the window pane so as to peer out into the night. The dawn came finally and Jim was still very restless, thinking of his partner and the treacherous Indian. About ten o’clock he could stand the feeling of worry no longer and said to some of the men. “Boys, I believe we ought to send a search party out for Mick; I am afraid he was lost last night in the storm or overtaken by Eagle Feather. He surely Page 53 didn’t have time to reach Moor Lodge before the storm came.” So five men volunteered to look for Mick, and Jim was one of them. The trail was obliterated but they could now and then distinguish a post which marked the path. All morning and part of the afternoon was spent in trying to find a trace of the lost men. Jim saw a blotch of red on the snow. Was it blood?. He bent closer and discovered it was. He called to the others and they began to look for more signs similar to this. Jim remarked to one of the men, “This is a queer country. Why, around here for several miles, the snow is not drifted. The wind evidently didn’t blow very much here.” But he was not answered for another red spot of considerable size was found and soon another and now and then a foot print. This was heart rending for Jim. Surely Eagle Feather had murdered his friend and carried him away knowing if his victim was left there he would indeed be found. The red trail led the searchers to a deep ravine and as they were search- ing the bottom, a dog’s bark attracted them. Soon they found poor Mick lying unconscious on the sled with the dogs near by. They would not leave their master. Mick was examined carefully but there were no wounds. One of the rescuers finally exclaimed, “Why here is one of Mick’s dogs that has been killed! They all thought this queer—but were soon on their way to Moors Lodge where aid and comfort could be given the half frozen man. When they were nearly to the Lodge, what should they see but Eagle Feather lying in the snow. He was examined and found to be dead. He had perished in the storm. An old letter from a friend was found in his pocket, stating, “If this said Mick has the gold you say he has, get the chest of valuable under the floor of your cabin.” They were all somewhat surprized at this letter, but all were glad the wicked Eagle Feather had met death himself. At Moors Lodge, Mick slowly regained his strength and told Jim all about his adventure. “I wandered all night to keep from freezing to death and when morning came I was lost, so I knew only one thing to do, to kill one of the dogs. This done, I then allowed the blood to drip in great quantities on the snow. When I came to the ravine I fell exhausted on the sled and that is all I remember.” After a pause he went on. “I might have reached the Lodge in the first place but the wind covered the trail with snow.” Jim asked him what he intended to do. “Well, I am going back with you and find that chest and then we are going to dig that mine to pieces,” replied Mick. Jim laughed and patted him on the shoulder. In a few more days they started back to their own camp and were hunting for the chest. After they had taken the cabin floor up, they were soon .digging where the dirt had been disturbed recently. The chest was found after a few feet of earth had been removed. Mick and Jim were quite excited when they brought the treasure to the light, for they found three bags of gold dust, one medium sized ruby Page 54 and many Indian beads. “Mick, we have a fortune at last,” cried Jim. They were both very excited and happy over their good fortune. The mine never produced any great amount of gold and they soon gave it up as a failure. One day Jim said to Mick, “I am glad you had that adventure, old man, since no harm has come to you and we have a fortune even though the mine has proved worthless,” and Mick agreed to this heartily.

A heavy mist hung over the little valley, and Mayville lay wrapped in undisturbed silence. Now and then someone passed quietly along the street and disappeared again in the mist. Then, from the distance came the muffled sound of a train whistle, and a moment later a long freight broke through the fog, and with lumber- ing wheels and creaking brakes, drew up on the siding. As the train stopped, a man climbed from one of the cars, and stood for a moment, look- ing about him in a hesitating manner. He was a tall young man, hut his shoulders were bent, and he moved with an aimless air. as though he had no purpose in life. His clothes were shabby, and from beneath his slouch hat protruded a mass of dark hair. His face was unshaven, and in his dark eyes was a melancholy expression. Leaving the tracks, he walked slowly down the grassy road, the main street of the little country village. He passed the general store and the other one-story frame buildings that comprised the business part of the town. Farther on the road ran between small farms and neat country cottages. The man paused at a little iron gate which opened into a neatly kept yard, and stood looking down the road in the direction from which he had just come, and then on along the stretch before him. Finally opening the gate he walked up the gravel path and knocked at the door. His knock was answered by a pleasant-faced woman with soft, wavev hair, streaked with silver. She had kindly gray eyes, and her voice was soft and musical as she gave him a cordial “Good morning.” The man returned her salutation with an almost unintelligible reply, and then asked, shamefacedly, Can I get some breakfast here. Ma’am?” “Certainly,” returned the other, holding open the door to the shabby man. “Come right in.” She seated him in the cheerful dining room while she went to pre- pare his breakfast. When it was set before him he sat eating in gloomy silence, until it was broken by her pleasant conversation. She thought that they were going to have a fine day when the fog cleared. It never lasted long after the sun got warm. Had he ever seen how beautiful the valley was at this time of the year? The man returned that he had never been here before. He thought that the fog must make it very disagreeable. “But we do not have fog very often, she said. “And when they do come they make us enjoy the sunshine better. “This is a beautiful valley,” she continued. I have lived here for many years and have grown to love it more and more. It is much better since the reservoir was built, for now we have water for the land, and do not have to rely upon the rains, which so often fail. When we first came here there were no orchards and the land was mostly unbroken. Farming was difficult and crops were uncertain. Then the dam was built and more farmers came, and prosperous farms, with fruitful orchards, sprang up where the waste land had been. Page 56 “We have a quiet, peaceful home here,” she went on. And then, as if to herself, “Sometimes too quiet since Rob left.” She paused, and looked thoughtfully out of the window. “Is Rob your son?” the young man asked. “Yes,” she answered, still looking out of the window. Then turning to him she continued, “Rob left with some of the first volunteers. He used to write such cheerful letters, full of hope and courage—he was always that way. Then there came a letter from an officer. Rob had been a brave soldier—they were proud of him—but he would never return.” “It was a shame,” cried the young man, “for him to throw his life away like that.” But she stopped him with a quick gesture. “Don’t,” she said gently. “His life was not wasted. He died in a worthy cause—a glorious cause. He did his part. I would not have held him back if I could have done so. It was his duty to go. His country called him.” “But what right has a country to call for such sacrifices? exclaimed the young man. “Is it not a free country? No! They preach freedom while they make slaves of us. It is all a farce. The whole thing is a fraud and a cheat. The officials are working for their own ends, and the rich are stacking up their millions, while we are expected to fight their wars and make the world agreeable for them!” “No doubt the government has made mistakes,” she replied. “And some of the officers may be unworthy and unqualified for their positions, but that is no reason why we should wholly condemn it. This is our country and we must do our best to make it better. Our boys have fought abroad to insure liberty and democracy, but the fight is not over. There are conditions at home that must be overcome, and the man who works faithfully on, overcoming day by day, in his own small sphere, the condi- tions that menace the peace and safety of our country, laying aside his own comfort for the good of his fellow men, and using his influence to uphold true American ideals, is doing a brave part in a grand struggle. And al- though he may not receive great honors, he will be happy in the knowledge that he has done his part. When we are honestly doing our best in a good cause we will see more good in those who are also carrying on the struggle, and instead of tearing down what they have attempted to build, we may find opportunities to help them remedy their mistakes.” “Of course we wish to be free, but freedom that leaves a man in bondage to his own selfish desires is not freedom after all, for there are no more helpless slaves than those who are slaves to themselves.” At first the young man listened impatiently, but as she went on memories of better days stirred in his breast. He remembered his school days, when he had read the stirring speeches of ardent patriots, and had listened to his teachers talk of loyalty and patriotism, while a longing to prove himself worthy of being called an American, surged through his young breast, quickening his pulse and making his eyes glow with a new light. But dark days had come to the boy. He had been left an orphan, to shift for himself in a selfish world. School was no longer possible, and in his work in the mines he had daily become more weary and discouraged. Page 57 There had been few to lift him up—many to drag him down. Under-paid men had talked of strike, and agitators had brought their influence to bear upon the young lad. He had heard the government censured and its officials berated, first to his disgust, but finally with his approval. As time went on he had lost his confidence in the government and in its ideals and inspirations. He had lost confidence in those around him, in his own friends, and finally in himself. As he arose to go he turned to the gentle old lady and said earnestly. “You don’t know what you have done for me today. I have been wrong. I have been a coward, but I see it now.” He hesitated, and then added, “My name is John Aldrich. Some day I hope to meet you again—some day when I can hold up my head and honestly say, “I have done my part.” I believe you,” she said simply. But neither guessed how very soon that meeting was to be. As he left the little cottage that fresh morning, new hopes seemed welling up within him, and he walked with straightened shoulders and a manly stride. The sun had dispelled the fog, and the beautiful little valley lay wrapped in the glowing sunlight. “The world is really beautiful,” thought John. And somehow the cloud that had enveloped him seemed, also to have drifted away, and the young man felt that he had been carried into a new world, or rather, the glad old world where he had lived during his early boyhood. The long freight that had been waiting on the siding for the morning mail-train to pass was preparing to pull out, and John swung himself up into an empty box-car. The engine puffed and panted, and then started forward. There was a clang of bumping cars as each one started, stopped, and then started on again. John Aldrich was again on his way. It was the same train, the same old box-car, and the same shabby man, to all outward appearances, but some way John felt like a different man than the stoop-shouldered, aimless creature who had ridden in that car a few hours ago. He had not had time to form very distinct plans, but he would go to Danes Fort, forty miles away, and would find work—anything, he told himself, that would bring him an honest living. Slowly the train glided out of the valley and wound its way through the silent hills and across the stretches of unbroken prairie. Toward noon the train stopped at a little wayside station, and as it pulled out again, two men boarded it and found their way to the car where John was riding. They greeted him as a comrade, and as they rode along he entered into their conversation, and it was in this way that he learned of a plot to blow up the irrigation reservoir. These fellow travelers were on their way to a point several miles beyond the dam, where they planned to meet with some other I. W. W’s. The dam was to be blown up that night, and the plans were so well laid that the men would easily make their escape before the officers of the law could possibly reach them. Although a few hours ago John would have received the news with approval, and even lent a hand in such an action against the government, he now listened with consternation. What would it mean to the people of the little valley—their homes and property swept suddenly away! And Page 58 untold damage would be done to those living for miles around. It must be stopped! He must do something! Mayville was the nearest place be could expect to find a sheriff, and it was now nearly twenty miles away. But he would do his best. The train was now climbing an assent and as it moved more slowly he climbed to the outside of the car. The other occupants of the car were smoking and talking, and evidently did not detect his intention. Climbing to the lowest step, he hung for a moment and then jumped to the ground. The motion of the train flung him almost beneath the wheels, but he climbed to his feet uninjured, and started on his long walk. On and on he went, across the dry stretches of prairie and through the rugged hills, until, long after sunset, he entered the peaceful little valley where the lights of Mayville glimmered in the twilight. Half an hour later, seated in the sheriff’s car, with the sheriff and several deputies, John was traveling rapidly toward the reservoir. The hills loomed above them as they sped along; now they were left in the distance, and around them spread the stretches of wild prairie, broken again by rugged hills, until at last the waters of the artificial lake spread before them. Then the lights were put out and they traveled in darkness, except for the faint starlight above. Sometimes the car would stop and one or another jvould get out to examine the road, ana again they would move cautiously forward. Finally they left the car and went on foot. Pausing now and then to listen, they picked their way through the tangled brush. Then, far below the dam, a light flickered for a moment and dis- appeared. The sheriff, after a short consultation with his men, sent two of them to continue along the top of the dam, and so come down on the other side of where the light had been seen. With John and the remaining deputy he descended by a winding path to the bottom of the dam, thus coming in an opposite direction to that of the other officers. As they neared the bottom of the descent a stone loosened from under their feet and gaining force as it rolled, crashed noisily into the brush below. For a moment they waited in breathless silence, then as the sound of feet on the gravel below reached their ears, the sheriff gave a hurried order to advance, and they rushed forward into the uncertain darkness. Suddenly a shot rang out, followed by several others in rapid suc- cession. John felt something strike his head; then everything became confused. He remembered hearing the voice of the sheriff, and a pistol report close at hand. As he tried to push ahead he stumbled against a rock and fell headlong: then all was dark and still. What happened after this seemed like a confused dream to John Aldrich. Once he thought that the dam had given way and the cool water was washing over his face; then it seemed that he was borne away. He heard low voices about him. He was aware of a dull pain in his head. Finally his thoughts left the scene of the broken dam and the roaring flood. He was with his mother again—he had been sick he thought, and his mother sat beside him, stroking his hot, aching head with her cool hands. He opened his eyes and looked up into her face. Page 59 “Mother,” he whispered. “God bless you, my boy,” came the gentle voice. John continued to look into her face. Somehow she had changed, he thought, though her voice was the same. She looked like someone he had seen—somewhere. Then he began to connect her with clanging trains and hanging fog. Somehow he remembered that that pleasant smile and gentle voice had dispelled the fog—the sun had been shining—there were green fields and flowering orchards. Then he remembered the dam and the great lake of water that stretched for miles behind it. Suddenly he raised to his elbow and looked wildly about him. “Did they get away?” he asked hoarsely. “Did they blow up the dam?” “No, no!” said the gentle voice as the soft hands lowered him again to his pillow. “You saved us, my boy! You have saved our lives and our homes.” John lay looking around the room, with its fresh white curtains, and blue tinted walls. Then his eyes rested upon a picture which hung upon the opposite wall, a picture of a bright-faced youth in a soldier’s uniform, and beneath it hung a service flag with a golden star. “He did his part,” he murmured. And then as he looked from the picture, out of the window, to the green fields of the little valley, and the peaceful farm houses, bathed in the morning sunlight, he realized what might have been done if he too, had not done his part. NELLIE BRIGGS CUMIOTS L€ V1! L.ITi’TmS THE PROPOSAL Madam: Most worthy of estimation! After long consideration and much meditation on the great reputation you possess in the nation, I have a strong inclination to become your relation. On your approbation of this declaration, I shall make preparation to remove my situation to a more convenient station to prefess my admiration; and if such oblation is worthy of observation, and can obtain commiseration, it will lie an aggrandization beyond all calculation of the joy and excultation. Of yours, SAM DISSIMULATION THE ACCEPTANCE Sir: I perused your oration with much deliberation, and a little consterna- tion at the great infatuation of your imagination to show such veneration on so slight a foundation. But after examination and much serious contem- plation, I supposed your animation was the fruit of recreation, or had sprung from ostentation, to display your education by an odd enumeration, or rather multiplication, of words of the same termination, though of great variation in each respective signification. Now without disputation, your laborious application in so tedious an occupation deserves commemora- tion, and, thinking imitation a sufficient gratification, I am, without hesi- tation, Yours, MARY MODERATION (It is rumored that this is the way Miss Williamson got her ring.) Page 60 «f jT; 1 'V � ■� if� - La Grande, Oregon, February 6, 1920. Dear Daniel Webster:— In looking over an old newspaper the other day, I happened to notice the speech you made in the U. S. Senate concerning the Oregon Country, and thought it would probably interest you to know that the country has changed considerably since then. It is no longer the “worth- less area, the region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, cactus and prairie dogs.” The territory which seemed so hopeless because of the “endless mountain ranges, im- penetrable and covered to the base with eternal snow,” is in the main covered with a network of railroads and the snow is a source of water supply, much needed. And the Western coast, rock-bound, cheerless and uninviting, has many harbors and is valuable for the fish in which it abounds. The country is now highly civilized and is rapidly advancing along commercial lines. Large towns and cities flourish in different parts of the country. The schools are very modern and are so arranged as to be able to teach practical business methods and sciences. Timber cut from the mountains is an enormous source of income. Sheep and cattle raising is followed because it can be done profitably with little care or trouble. In the spring when there is little rainfall, the water is let into canals and the land is flooded. On such lands, small grains, fruits and vegetables ield plentifully. The care and cultivation of these crops are done with modern machinery such jus tractors and reapers. The people as a whole are very prosperous. In legald to the coast, it has many harbors, and trading, shipbuilding, and fishing are carried on extensively. There are also many places of senie beauty, such as the Columbia River. New roads are being built which will enable tourists to reach all the points of interest. On the whole, the country has turned out contrary to your expecta- tions, and after having read this you will probably recall your statement. Mr. President, I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the Pacific Coast one inch nearer Boston than it is now.” Yours respectfully, WILLARD STONE. ss I'm forever getting zero’s. Enormous zeros every day. No matter how hard I try, The teachers all ask Why I’ve learned such junk As it will only mean a—Flunk. Page 61 MABLE KERNS Christopher Columbus, La Grande, Ore., February 8, 1920 13, Tophet Apts., Hades. Dear Chris:— I have read about your adventures and discoveries so many times that I feel as if I almost know you personally, so please excuse the familiarity. This country certainly owes a great deal to your foresight and daring, and but for you, who knows but that the world might still be flat, like a flivver tire after a blowout. Yes Chris, when you set out to convince the population in general and the King and Queen in particular that the world was round, you certainly scored a knockout in the History League, and the only instrument you had was such a simple thing as an egg. But therein lies the difficulty nowadays. If any conscientious explorer started out to demonstrate, with an egg, that the world was hexagonal or any other shape, he would frst have to pawn the family jewels to buy the egg. The reason for this famine of “hen’s fruit” is due to the profiteers who are responsible for so many things lately and also for the H.C.L. When- ever the fellows get hold of a dozen eggs they stick them in a cold storage plant and hold them till the price rises a few more notches, due to the hens going on strike or something else equally important. You probably don’t know anything about cold storage plants though, do you Chris? They certainly would be handy where you are, wouldn’t they? Well, a cold storage plant is a place where they manufacture ice and keep things cold in the building so they will last longer. I would like to ship you a complete outfit, but the freight rates are so high since the government control, and they are clear out of sight down your way. Well, I must close. I hope you will write soon and tell me how the weather is in your vicinity. Did the Groundhog stay out this year? Yours truly, SHOWALTER LYNCH. P. S. There is one thing more I would like to know about your region. Do folks come up to you and say, “Well is it hot enough for you,” like they do here? w Gallis est omnis divisa in partes tres— From that line on we’re led a merry chase.

Feedem Less pur- chased a large tract of land in the country close to Seemore, Indiana. They erected a large Inn by the wayside, as travelers were always looking for a place to stop as it was a long distance between Seemore and Fairview and could not he covered in one day. Two other hoys and myself were traveling from Seemore to Fairview one bright summer day when our engine broke down and we were forced to walk to the “Stagger Inn” as it was called. On our way to this Inn we noticed a large sign nailed on the fence and painted in large green letters were the words “Milkenwater Dairy, One Mile.” We decided to hurry on to the dairy and take on some large draughts of milk and then move on to the “Stagger Inn.” Upon reaching the dairy I was surprised to find my old college chum, Ty Foid in charge. He supplied us with the milk and the necessary direc- tions for reaching the Inn. We arrived at the Inn about seven o’clock and the other hoys being very sleepy, were taken to their rooms by the half dead hell hop whose name I learned later was Hy Podermic. I did not retire with the other boys as I was very hungry and pro- ceeded in search of the culinary department which I found in the rear of the house as usual. The French cook Mr. D’Omelette and his motherless young daughter were the only two modern conveniences at the Inn. They soon seated me in front of a meal tit for a king and I sat there listening to the wierd strains of the bell hop trying to play the “Safety Pin Rag” on his new mouth organ and me trying to gargle soup at the same time. Just imagine the harmony. My dreams came to an end when May Hogany and Dough Knutt, the two loving hashers rushed in the hack door as pale as sheets. Upon inquiring of them what the occasion was for the imaginary coat of white which was so evenly spread upon the countenance of each, they in- formed me that Si Heavily, the farmer next door had chased them all the way home and shot them with bacon rind as they were retreating from his watermelon patch. I had a good laugh over this little incident and started for my room but was startled by someone screaming in the room next to me. I ask the hell hop what all the screaming meant and he told me not to worry as it was only the cooks daughter. Miss Egg Omelette who was subject to epileptic scramblings and the screaming was an ordinary occur- ence. I could not sleep well that night as all I could think of was the cooks daughter having another fit. I told the other boys about it and we left the next morning without eating breakfast. Page 63 WILLIAM HEUGHAN Art of Gum One who has accomplished the art of chewing his gum properly is to be greatly envied. It affords excellent exercise for the developing of the muscles of the lower jaw, and gives to it that particular sag which is hard to acquire in any other manner. This mark of beauty adds much to ones facial expression. By persistent use of the gum. one gains, too, that forward poise of the head which adds greatly to bis grace of car- riage and which is desired by all who would appear distinguished and refined. Of course we must not expect to learn all the tricks of the art at first. That of pulling the gum out several yards, and then swinging it gracefully back into the mouth, is a feat which all “chewers” seem to take delight in. To achieve this, however, requires practice, for at first ones self-consciousness prevents him from pulling it out very far, but as he overcomes this evil he may stretch it out farther and farther until one is astonished at its duplicity. This exercise is also beneficial to ones arm; it develops the muscles and enables one to gesticulate with grace and elegance. It is likewise difficult, when engaged in conversation, to shift the gum from one side of the mouth to the other, and to get in a few chews while the change is being made. This trick, though difficult at. first, may he accomplished with practice. While the aspirant is gain- ing this knowledge he may even learn to hide his gum under his tongue when speaking. If one is willing to practice several hours a day for three or four months (which I think is a very reasonable time) he may acquire the ability to “pop” his gum so that it can be heard across the room. It is always so quieting to the nerves to endeavor to study with someone behind or across the aisle who is smacking his lips over a piece of gum. If there are two or more people in the room indulging in the same melodious pastime, the effect produced is, of course, very much greater. The price of chewing gum is so very small compared to the joy one receives from it, and the music which it contributes to life, that one should never think of starting the day without a piece of it. It need not be a fresh one, if that from the day before has been well preserved, by being stuck on a piece of furniture or China. (The flavor keeps better on the bedpost). So if you would be beautiful, and get the most joy out of life, learn the art of gum chewing. Then, having learned it, the best way you can benefit the public, as well as yourself, by your achievement, is to FORGET IT. (Copyrighted) ■wing F___________ierce lessons. L___________ate hours.

Page 66 “MIMIR (Origin of the word—Fount of Wit and Wisdom) Although the Gods had from the beginning, designed Midgar, or Mana-heim, as the abode of man, there were at first no human beings to inhabit it. One day Odin, Vili and Ve, according to some authorities, or Odin, Hoenir, (the bright one), and Lodur, or Loki (fire), started out together and walked along the seashore, where they found either two trees, the Ash, Ask, and the Elm, Emhla, or two blocks of wood, hewn into rude semblances of the human form. The Gods gazed at first upon the inani- mate wood in silent wonder then perceiving the use it could be put to, Odin gave these logs souls, Hoenir bestowed motion and senses, and Lodur con- tributed blood and blooming complexions. The mighty ash tree, Yggdrasil, was supposed to support the whole universe. It sprang from the body of Ymir, and three immense roots ex- tending one into Midgar (the dwelling of mortals;) another into Jotunheim (the abode of giants;) and the third below Niflheim, into the region of death. By the side of each of these roots is a spring, from which it is watered. The root that extends into Midgar, is carefully tended by the three Norns, (goddesses who are regarded as the dispensers of fate.) They are, Urd (past,) Verdandi (present,) and Skuld (the future.) The spring at the Jotunheim side is Mimir's well, in which wisdom and wit lie hidden, but that below, Niflheim, refreshed also the dark dragon of despair, Nidhogg (the back biter.) which perpetually gnaws at the roots. Four harts run across the branches of the tree and nip the buds; they represent the four Winds. Under the tree lies Ymir, and when he tries to shake off it’s weight, the earth quakes. The boughs overshadow the earth and the top rises into Asgard in the Zenith. ISl etslc Management ©3 Woman When she talks too long—-Interrupter. If her way of thinking is not yours—Converter.

The year of 1919-’20 hits been one of the most prosperous La. Grande High has ever known. Early in the fall, the time being well taken up with athletics, there was not much done along social lines with the exception of a few Student Body dances given in the gym after football games with Baker and Pendleton. About the first event of the season was a dance given in the gym- nasium by the Faculty. The gym was very prettily decorated with a Japanese effect. Punch was served and everyone was delighted. “Three cheers for the Faculty.” Jfrpslmmt Assembly On December 4th, and assembly was called and the student body very much surprised and pleased when the Freshmen announced their in- tent to entertain the assembly with a program which lasted the seventh and eighth periods. The program was very clever and showed some very promising talent. It ran as follows: Santa Lucia_________________________________Italian Folk Song Beulah Smith, Mildred Lovet.

The color scheme for the decorations was green and white, the Junior colors. Arti- ficial apple blossoms were arranged around the gymnasium with the streamers of green and white crepe paper. In the middle of the hall was an old fashioned well where punch was served out in tin cups. The Page 69 music for the dance was furnished by the Lindsey orchestra. The dance was very much a success and the Juniors were very much pleased with it. 4Hasqu?raftr JJarti; On February 14th, the Sophomore class entertained the Student Body with a masquerade given in the gym. A very clever stunt show was staged in the auditorium and then the guests were taken to the gym where prizes were awarded those who wore the best costumes. Clarice Snow received first prize; Frank Crippen, second; and Milo Blokland, third. Valentine decorations made the gym very attractive. Games were played and at eleven o’clock refreshments were served. - rutur banquet On the night of April 9th, a delightful banquet was given in honor of the Senior Play cast. About forty-seven members of the class, includ- ing the teachers that helped coach the play, were present and a very good time was reported by all in spite of the repeated attempts of the Juniors to steal the eats. The banquet took place in the dining room of the domestic science department in the high school. Three tables were very artistically decor- ated with violets and purple candles as the class colors are purple and white. Places were laid for forty-seven. The menu served by the Do- mestic Science class, was as follows: Chicken Fricassee Pickles Lettuce Sandwiches Ice Cream Cake During the banquet hour the toast master, Blanford Shores, called upon several of the Senior class to make toasts. Among those who gave toasts are Lowell Smith, Robert Bmahiser, Frank Crippen. Miss William- son gave two readings which were very much applauded. Dallas Green recited some original poetry, and Miss Rees and Miss Heess were each called upon to contribute to the entertainment of the Seniors. Miss Mag- nuson, the Domestic Science teacher was praised very highly for the success of the banquet. Following the banquet, dancing in the gym was the main attraction. The music was furnished by a few members of the school orchestra. At the hour of twelve, everyone departed for their homes, tired but happy. iHuman Dfmter Saturday evening, April 15th, a delightful five course dinner was given at the high school by the members of the Latin Club. The menus which were printed in Latin had on each a beautifully painted Roman soldier, drawn by Jean Stearns. The courses were as fol- lows: Ostrae, Gustus, Panis si ligneus, Cena. Mensa'Prima -Lactuea, Asparagus, Betae Rubae, Vinum. Mensa Terta—Pullus, Phaphani, Pisa, Vinum. Seconda Mensa- Placenta, Crustulae, Vinum, Crustulae, Nuces. During the last course, the following toasts were called for by the Page 70 able toastmaster, Loyd Thompson. To Caesar______________________Grant Swalberg. To the Club____________________Ethel Burbridge. Response______________________Alfred Meyers. The banquet was admirably served by members of the First Year Latin class, who should be highly praised for their dignity and humility. The Latin Club is now looking forward to being the guests of honor at a banquet given by the “Caesar” Club next year. 3) uttlnr-£ vi ior 25 attqurt One of the greatest events that has been looked forward to by the Juniors and Seniors was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, given by the Juniors in honor of the graduating class of 1920 Green, white and purple were the colors used in the decoration of the high school gymnasium, which was the scene of the banquet. The long banquet tables were placed in a triangular shaped manner. Purple baskets with crispy purple tulle bows and tilled with yellow daffodils, formed the chief decorations of the tables. One hundred and six guests were present, which incuded members of the Faculty, Senior and Junior classes. Members of the Sophomore girls’ Domestic Science class served the banquet of the following menu: Chicken Salad Fruit Cocktail Parkerhouse Rolls Pickles Coffee Jelly Brick Ice Cream White Cane Following the banquet hour, Waldo Stoddard as Toastmaster, called upon the following for toasts: Toast to the Faculty___________________________Irma Stoddard Response________________________________Supt.

The picture was taken immediately after the arrival of the new rifles. Thanks to the progressive policy of La Grande’s Board of Education, La Grande High School is able to live up to the full intent of the new Oregon statutes requiring physical education in high schools. The means by which this commendable state law is applied is through military science and tactics channels, for at no turn or angle of this science is physical development forgotten. Military science and tactics have been taught this year, and in the years preceding, with the purpose of improving the physical “set up of the boys. If training is anything it Is a developer of physique. About six weeks before the close of school, and nearly eight months after the necessary preliminaries had been disposed of by the Board of Education, the War Department in its own good time, delivered to La Grande 125 rifles of 1903 Springfield model, shelter halves, mess kits, bayonets, haversacks, belts and numerous other paraphernalia. With the equipment at hand instruction in musketry can now proceed. Serious handicaps prevailed during the winter. The corps last fall believed in speedy delivery of rifles and equipment, but it reckoned not with proverbial deliberatness of the War Department. There is no adequate drill room; in stormy weather, paved streets with attendant noise and con- fusion, constituted the “parade grounds.” With the arrival of rifles, interest revived and the boys are much interested in the mechanism of a modern high-powered rifle; deeply concerned with its care and operation. At the outset this year, the cadets were organized into a battalion of companies, for instruction sake—that as many as possible might be assigned special posts of duty. Late in the year the companies were merged into one, along lines of the A. E. F. regulations. The present staff, composed of ex-service men largely administei tno corps’ details. Chet Thompson is corps adjutant; Dallas Green and Kenneth Williamson are 1 csponsible for government property and supervise its issue; Martin Stein is charged with small arms instruction; the corps commandant is also deeply indebted to the assistance of Clarence Garity in pap r work instruction to student officers and to James Rosenbaum for physical training assistance earlier in the year. Allyn Hunter was the original adjutant but left at the holidays for Culver. Upon two occasions Colonel L. B. Lister, U. S. A. who is the regular army officer in charge of R. (). T. C., of the Northwest, with headquarters at Spokane, inspected the corps here. La Grande is not a so-called “Junior” R. O. T. C., school but has recognition of the war depart- ment and supervision of commandants, and course of instructions, centers with Colonel Lister. The Colonel is a splendid gentleman, an overseas officer and his personality inspired officers and men upon each visit. As soon as necessary army officers are available, one will be assigned to La Grande and at such a time, La Grande will become a junior R. O. T. C school, as Walla Walla, Boise and other schools now are. A. W. NELSON Page 74 The Physical Education Department started this year with all of the girls, except a few who are excused for physical disability, taking gymna- sium. The classes meet twice a week and instruction is given in marching, gymnastics, wands, dumb-bells, Indian Clubs, dancing and games. Special attention being given to correct positions and posture. Music has added greatly to the interest in the class work. The girls have worked hard and faithfully. A demonstration on May 21, will be the culmination of this year’s work. The High School girls will give apparatus drills and the leading folk dances in costume.

It was started about five years ago by Miss Hindman who was then our music teacher, and consisted of about ten members. Later, about two years ago Miss Rye became a member of the faculty and a campaign was started immediately. She gave some of the pupils private lessons so they could join us. At the present time the orchestra is composed of 22 mem- bers. They are now working on two difficult overtures, the “Finale to William Tell” and the Lutspeil Overture.” These will be given at the Commencement exercises on May 28. The different members who have been so faithful are as follows: first violins, Florence Lynch, Alladeen Scroggin, Jean Stearns, Floyd Smith, Mabel Langley and Evelyn Under- wood: second violins, Hilda Blokland, Edith Patten and Virginia Bryant: mandolin, Clem Regan: pianist, Lois Given: clarionet, Harry Snodgrass: alto horn, Clifford Blokland: baritone horn, Howard Glenn: trombones. Loyd Thompson, Francis Snodgrass and Ray Blokland; cornets, Elvin Thomp- son. Milo Blokland, Brooke Colt and Melvin Parker: drum, Abbie Green; saxaphone, John Robinson. MUSICAL This year the boys double quartet has done some very good work in their music. At the beginning of the year they sang at the Business Mens’ luncheon given at the Foley Hotel and later at the Neighborhood Club which was enjoyed by all. The Glee Club is much larger than it has ever been before and their good work is due to Miss Rye. Just before Christmas the boys and girls Glee Clubs gave an enter- tainment under the auspices of the Neighborhood Club for the Scholarship Loan Fund. This was a big success and a large sum of money was taken in.

She is loved by the Prince So-Tru, and returns his affection, but he has a rival in the person of Prince So-Sli, who seeks the aid of Saucer-Eyes, the Wizard Cat, who car- ries off the Princess to the cave of Inky Night, leaving the Emperor and Prince So-Tru distracted at her strange disappearance. Princess Chrysanthemum, imprisoned in the Cave of Inky Night, with the aid of a magic ring summons the Fairy Moonbeam, who is about to help her when she drops the ring and cannot find it. Fairy Moonbeam disappears at the loss of the ring and the unhappy Princess is left to bewail her fate. Prince So-Tru manages to obtain entrance to the cave, and finds the ring, which at once causes Fairy Moonbeam to return and aid him. At this moment the Emperor appears with his attendants, and takes Saucer-Eyes prisoner, bearing him in triumph to his palace. Threatened with torture, Saucer-Eyes confesses the complicity of Prince So-Sli, whom the Emperor orders to instant execution. This is, however, frustrated by the appearance of Princess Chrysanthemum, accom- panied by Prince So-Tru and Fairy Moonbeam with her band. The Emperor pardons Saucer-Eyes and So-Sli at the Princess’s request, and gives her hand in marriage to Prince So-Tru, thus bringing everything to a happy conclusion. The operetta was given on May 4, and was a great success. It proved that the students were well trained in stage tecnique as well as in voice culture. Every scene elicted great applause and all were especially pleased with the high class entertainment they enjoyed. Much credit is due Miss Rye and her assistants for the training and also worthy mention is deserved by the principle parts for their co-operation. Some of the money went to pay for the expenses and the rest was added to the piano fund.

The second year of its existence, finds most of us studying Caesar, but we have lost a few members. But our losses were offset by our gains and we have, as new members, Erdis Maguire, Stephen Blore, Olaf Ansnes, Jean Stearns and Bernice Thompson. Among our Social activities, was a Latin Banquet, which was in the high school and was served by members of the Freshman Latin class, who received the highest grades in Latin. We are very proud of our club, which has a large number of mem- bers, the roll being as follows: Florence Zrlauf Therl Green Golda Pohrman Ethel Burbride Grant Swalberg Stephen Blore Ruth Roberts Herman Berger Alfred Meyers Erdis Maguire Constance Cleaver Bernice Thompson Arthur Underwood Edith Patten Loyd Thompson Jean Stearns Maud Lamm Olaf Ansnes Page 83 FRENCH CLUB Le Cercie Francais was organized at the beginning of the year under the supervision of Miss Neill, for the purpose of creating more of an inter- est in the study and speaking of French. The membership is composed of the students of the advanced French class. At the first meeting some general business was transacted and the following officers were elected: President----------------------------------------------------------------Waldo Stoddard Vice President------------------------------------------------------------Ruth Williams Secretary and Treasurer-------------------------------------- Harry Snodgrass The meetings of the club were held at the various homes of the members every two weeks. At these meetings a program was given by the members, consisting of French songs and plays. The greater part of the conversation was carried on in French. After the programs refreshments were served, which always had the effect of transforming one into the best of spirits. FRANK BLACK ’21 Page 24 Page 85 BOVS’ BASKET BALL.

Inter-class games were played during the first part of the second semester. The Juniors and Sophomores playing final games for the cup, which was presented to the winning team by Miss Wheatley. The Juniors won high honors. After these games the first team was picked and train- ing was begun for the approaching game with Wallowa. The local team met the Wallowa team on the home floor and after a very fast game, the girls won with a, score of 41 to 23. The second game was played at Wallowa, the local girls losing by one point. This was due to a controversy with the Wallowa team, and the girls showed their sportsmanship by ac- cepting the smaller score. The members of the La Grande team and their positions are: Forwards—Marjorie O Brien, Freda Klopfenstein, (Captain) Guards—Bernice Lofland, (Manager;) Myrtle Harland. Centers—Winona Lyman, Mildred Hoyt. Substitutes—Norma Mayer, Ruby Shirley, Audrey Harer. Page 88 At the beginning of the 1919 foot ball season, prospects for a winning team at the La Grande High School were very dim, as there were only a few men in school who had turned out for the team in 1918, hut within a few weeks, McClure, tackle; Garity, halfback; both from the 1917 State Championship team returned to school, and they together with Rosenbaum and Johnson, former members of La Grande teams formed a nucleus around which the coach started a machine that turned out to he the best scoring team that ever wore the blue and white at La Grande High School. Captain Rosenbaum, Garity, Crippen and Johnson formed a very fast and smooth working hacklield, the first three named men being exceptionally fast, while Johnson shone on carrying the ball through the line. McClure and Bean at tackles, Theisen, Newlin and Hunter at ends, Thompson, Ruckman, Chandler and Ansnes at guards, and Proctor and Kivette at center, inexperienced men, with the exception of “Diz” McClure, all proved, before the year was over that they were players of high caliber and well worthy of representing the school. From the staging of the first game, which was with Enterprise, and resulted in a 73 to 0 victory for La Grande, the members of the local team were on their toes every minute, and not once during the entire season was their goal line crossed or even in serious danger. Their record of scoring 320 points in 5 games of 48 minutes each, an average of 64 points to a game, and 1V4 points every minute, has never been dupli- cated by any former teams, and no doubt will stand as a record for many years to come. By winning over Baker High School, at Baker, they ac- complished something that no other Eastern Oregon team has ever been able to do. La Grande has the best claim to the State Championship of any team, and if it had been possible to arrange games with the other contend- ers in the state, it was thought the local boys would have been able to defeat them all by decisive scores. The following are the scores La Grande ______________________73 La Grande______________________111 La Grande_______________________24 La Grande ______________________38 La Grande_______________________74 Total _____320 made during the season:— Enterprise___________________0 Wallowa______________________o Baker ______________________ 0 Pendleton __________________ 0 Elgin _______________________o Total_____0 Now for basket ball, Coach Reynolds had plenty of material. Proctor and Kivette of the 1918 team and Garity of the championship 1917 team were the only old men back, but with fifteen other men fighting hard for a place on the team, prospects looked bright. La Grande opened it’s season against Haines, January 28, and succeeded in giving the boys from Haines a drubbing, the score being 7 to 12. Baker took the axe next, due to the accurate basket shooting of Stoddard and Garity. The score against Baker was 50 to 23. Wallowa was drubbed to the tune of 68 to 19, then Enterprise suffered likewise, 72 to 15. Enterprise came here for revenge, but it was a sad, sad, storv with Theisen, Proctor, Kivette, Stoddard and Garity working like a Page 89 machine. La Grande managed to pile up a score of 100 to 39. The subs also took a crack at Enterprise and the crowd seemed to be well pleased with their effort. Our old friend Baker was beaten again, 41 to 25, in one of the fastest and cleanest games ever played in Baker. Still we win; Wallowa beaten again 88 to 17. Pendleton was our next victim, and La Grande with Garity and Stoddard starring, easily defeated th “Round Up” boys 76 to 16. With two days preparation, Chas. Reynolds and his basket tossers journeyed to Salem. Right off the bat La Grande drew Marshfield and defeated the quintet 31 to 21. Again La Grande drew the toughest ag- gregation in the tournament, and were defeated 36 to 21. At the end of the first half, the score stood 11 to 12, but the going was hard, and our warriors were soon worn out. Nothing hut praise could he given our boys at Salem. Our last game was a very fast game with Pendleton, and La Grande defeated them 32 to 24. Stoddard and Garity were there a thousand ways, when it came to shooting the ball through the hoop. Proctor could always be counted upon to do “his hit.” “Fighting Bud” Theisen and Kivette were always on the job. Webb, Black and Birlew could always be counted upon to go in any minute and do battle.

Baker was second with 37 points and Pendleton third with 3214 points. Other contestants were Union, Wallowa, Pilot Rock and Enterprise. Frank Crippen was individual point winner, taking four first places —the 100 yard dash, in 10:2; the broad jump, 20 feet 614 inches; the 220 yard dash, 23:3; 220 yard low hurdles, 27:1. Garity took first in the pole vault and second in the 120 yard high hurdles. Other point winners for La Grande were: Larsen, 3rd in the 440 yard dash; Proctor, fourth in high jump; Bean, first in shot put, distance 3912 feet; Theisen. first in 880 yard run, 2 minutes 14:1 seconds; Newlin, second in discus throw; Stoddard, third in pole vault. La Grande also won the relay race, time 1:40. Page 90 H. Proctor, Editor C. Thompson, Reporter C. Millering, Subscriber An Independent Newspaper.

I don’t blame you Cornelia, they were cute hoys. Mr. Du Bois announces that Hyat Peaches Smoking Emporium” is clos- ed for the rest of the year due to the shortage of cigarettes. Very- Very Good Eddie. Mr. McEachran says he sure un- derstands the engine of an automo- bile, but he’s airaid he couldn’t stear one down the street as he didn’t study that part. I wouldn’t even feel safe on the sidewalk if you tried to Me. Miss Magnuson says she never eats her own cooking, she lets her under- studies do the eating. I thot some crime was going on in her territory as I have often noticed the ambul- ance leave the side door. Last time I saw Mr. Hampton he was playing pool with Neal Smith. It’s a thrilling game.

He may be—we don’t doubt his word. Page 95 Miss Rye has at last gave us her decision. She is positive that the boys can’t sing with gum in their mouth. Maybe we can’t, Kathleen, but we’ll try. Miss Williamson has met her Waterloo. She admitted she was stuck when she tried to act the part of the cat in the operetta. Let De Loris do it.

(Really) Miss Eccles was told that she couldn’t handle the study room the 7th period as it was the hardest per- iod of the day. She said “I’m from Missouri, you’ve got to show me.” You win Ora. I noticed Miss Neil and Mr. Du Bois riding toward the Court house one noon but I didn’t get to the cor- ner soon enough to see whether they went in. Anyway May is still with us. We have been informed that Cupid has drawn the arrow for Miss Currey. We all hope he misses his aim until we get a little older. I’ll be 21 pretty soon, Helen. Miss Rees sure was happy the day the U. of O. Glee Club was presenr. You must of had a good time, Flor- ence, for you even smiled at me. I’ll receive all knocks from the Faculty at “Knockers Club.” Perigorically yours, “Blunder Buss” (“I’m no relation to Jitney.”) The advanced Domestic Science Class under the able direction of Miss Magnuson has spent a very prifitable year. Since the class consisted of only five members, each individual perhaps gained more real experience and did better work than if the class had been larger. At the beginning of the school term the class took up the canning of fruits and vegetables, preserving, pickling and jelly making. The next phase of work taken up was meal planning, food require- ments and caloric lessons preparatory to the cafeteria, which was managed by the class. Cafeteria work started on November 10th. The first day forty-five people were served and as the weather became colder as many as one hundred and eighty people were served. The Cafeteria lunch usually con- sisted of hot soup and hot chocolate; a main dish; sandwiches and a dessert. During the coldest weather both soup and chocolate were served, but as the weather became warmer they were alternated. The next step was the making of the lunch cloth and napkins, pre- paratory to meal serving. In this lunch cloth ordinary unbleached muslin was made attractive by hand embroidered Japanese designs. Then proper meal serving was taken, up and from this the class learned how to plan, prepare and serve a good meal. On the evening of April 9th, a banquet was served to the members of the school board, which proved to be quite a success, and the class gained a great deal of real information as well as enjoying u. The color scheme was worked out in yellow and white, and the place cards were the girls’ cwn work. The menu consisted of Baked Ham Green Tomatoe Pickles Gravy When nice weather begins, the class is going to take up camp cook- ing. They are intending to go on a picnic in order to learn the different phases of camp cooking in a practical way, and also to learn how to serve an attractive picnic lunch. Dear Ruth;— I was so glad to hear that you are thinking of taking up Domestic Science work during your high school education and first I will tell you about our department in La Grande High School. Under the fine supervision of Miss Magnuson much work has been accomplished. This has been realized by the pupils as well as the Board Members and towns people. During the stormy weather, cafeteria was started under what seemed impossible conditions. It thrived however, and benifited the Domestic Science girls as well as accomodating the school children. Fruit Cocktails Mashed Potatoes Parkerhouse Rolls Lemon Sherbert Scalloped Corn Grape Jelly Cake Coffee Page 96 The composition and food value of foods were studied during cafe- teria time. The practical preparation and serving of food in a palatable and attractive manner interested us. We too have served at the Senior Banquet and other important events of the season. 1 hope to hear about your department and how it is benefiting you. With love, ERDIS MAGUIRE DOMESTIC ART The Advanced Domestic Art Class of 1920, has shown great ambition to travel on the road to Economy; not only have the girls made serviceable clothing for themselves, but found their finished product consisted of pure quality material and better workmanship than those ready made. A fact of interest is that a finished dress was made for less than one-third the cost of a ready made costume. A Fashion Show was held at the Teachers’ Luncheon, where the pupils received great approval of their appropriate and splendid dresses by the teachers. An exhibit will be held during the Central School Art Ex- hibit, showing all the dresses made by combined efforts of the Domestic Art Classes. A few improvements have been added to the Domestic Art Depart- ment this year. Three new Singer sewing machines have been bought; also new electric lighting fixtures have been installed. Taking all these things into consideration, the Home Economics course is a splendid thing for each girl in the high school to take. Still another improvement must be made very soon, if this department is to keep a standard, is the addition of more working space. This last semester, pupils have worked in congested rooms, with fair lighting and ventilation system but with no privacy at all; but it is hoped that the School Board will see that the department will be per- fected next year with the needed improvements added. EVALYN GUHLEMAN ’22 The beginning class in Domestic Art has accomplished very much in sewing this year and has made several useful garments. We have also learned what design and color of material is most suitable and becoming to each individual in the class. At the opening of the school year we first made a serving apron, which was made in a way so as to require a number of different kinds of stitches. The problems we have under taken to make, since the finishing of the apron have been more difficult until now we are making gingham dresses. These are not generally made until the second year of Domestic Art. We have kept account of the cost of materials, thread and other articles necessary in sewing and have found that it is much cheaper to make ones own clothes than to be obliged to buy them. We have learned many things which we would have known practically nothing about had we not taken Domestic Art in school. Page 97 TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL COOKS Here’s to the cooks of L. H. S Proclaim their praise aloud! They cook each day in the good old way. And feed the hungry crowd. Teachers and pupils and graders, too. They stood in a long long line. Each one nursing a hunger pain; Awaiting his turn to dine. So when we think of our L. H. S., Our teachers and our books. We'll think of the grand rush down to cafe. And cheer for our High School cooks. NELLIE BRIGGS MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL DAYS I’ve lived some time in this world of ours— Some fifty long years in all— I’m getting as gray as a badger. And as bald as a billiard ball. I’ve prospered a little in business, I've also been sheriff and mayor. I live right in style in the city, But business brings worry and care. And to-night as I sit in my arm-chair And into the firelight gaze, Aly thoughts are drifting me back again To my dear old high school days. 1 see myself as I used to be. And my classmates, I see them all. And the same old groups and couples That clustered about the hall. I sit again in the study hall With my books in a tidy pile. And discuss the topics of the day With the fellow across the aisle. There is study and class recitation. And science and Glee Club and drill. And the last half-hour in the school-room. With each one studiously still. The bell rings, and T rise with the others. But sink to my seat with a groan— It wasn’t the school bell I heard in my dream But that wretched old telephone. “Hello.” 'Tis the servant who answers. es, lie’s here,” and she calls my name; So I leave those dear old high school days For the business world again. NELLIE BRIGGS Page 98 Manual Training The old shop located on the ground floor of the high school building was too small for any expansion of the Manual Training Department. New courses could not be added without cramping the entire department to the extent that its efficiency would suffer greatly. The enrollment of the schools had increased so that more room was necessary. The Manual Training Department of any school should he in a build- ing by itself. The disadvantages of not having such a building are very apparent. Chief among them are the noises coming from the machines. Again the Manual Training Departments are, too often, cooped up in a basement, or put into some place that does not admit of any expansion,. So it was to overcome the above difficulties that the new shop building was planned and built. A new course was addea to the Department last Spring. This of course was that of auto and gas engine instruction. Work in the seventh and eight grades was dropped for this year, as there was no room for it on the schedule. Moving out of the old quarters was accomplished during the week before examinations in January. The Department practically lived in the lower hall for a week afterward as the new building was not quite ready to receive it. The old quarters were then made ready for the new study hall and a class room. The boys of the wood working classes did all this -work, and they deserve much credit for their faithfulness in performing this task. After several serious delays the new shop was ready to receive the Manual Training Department. Possession was taken the last week in Jan- uary, and it was nearly two weeks later before the regular class work could be started, as the entire shop had to be put in order. The building is of brick 54 feet wide, by 73 feet 10 inches long with a 12 foot ceiling. Abundant light is admitted by means of large steel sashed windows. A large Waterman-Waterbuey furnace heats the entire building. I he building is divided into two shops, the woodworking shop and the gas engine shop. The former has a tool room, finishing room, lumber racks, thirty individual benches, saw table, lathe and hand saw. The work done by the boys in the woodworking shop has been of two classes—that done by the boys for themselves, and that done in building school equipment. The gas engine shop is equipped with benches, vises, and numerous hand tools, foige, drill press and lathe, with floor space sufficient for six or se en cats or tractors at one time. Instruction in this department is given in iepaii woik, study of the chassis, power plant, starting, lighting and ignition systems, carburation, cooling and oiling systems. Foige and lathe work are also given. The amount of work accom- plished in this department has been comparatively small, as practically all of it was done after moving into the new shop. By Die close of school, twelve autos and trucks and one stationary engine will have been over- hauled entirely or in part. E A Mc gACHRAN Page 99 Page 100 If there are any good people whose friendship we loose by this volume, then this section to them is reverently dedicated. You wouldn’t knock the jokes we used, If you could see what we have refused. “Pray let me kiss your hand,” said he With looks of burning love. “1 can remove my veil,” said she “Much easier than my glove.” Waldo—“Why is our Chemistry class like a Ford?” Frank—“Because it is a bunch of nuts with a crank in front.” Chet—“Does your wife come after you when you stay out late?” Harry—“No, she waits till I get home and then starts after me.” Delora Shafer—“Our bulletin board looks just like a Junior.” Geneva Smith—“Hows that?” Delora—“Because it is so stuck up.” There was a young man named Crippen Who fell in love with a pippen.

He—“If I should kiss you what would you do?” She—“I never meet an emergency before it arises.” He—“But what if it should arise. She—“I would meet it face to face. Cowpens was a battle fought in the stockyards at Chicago during the Spanish War. Ted Larsen—“Well, guess I’ll loaf in and see Mr. Du Bois.” Bill H. “If you do, I’ll take your picture as you go in.” Ted—“No, take it as I come out.” Bill—“I couldn’t do it, my kodak doesn’t work that fast.” A boy stood on a railroad track The train was coming fast. The boy stepped off the railroad track And let the train go past. Nut—“My dad has a Super-six.” Nit—“How many cylinders has it?” Nut—“Four”.

Prank—“Eve did, because when Adam asked her if he might kiss her, she said, “I don’t care A-dam if you do.” Harry S.—“Dear, there is something about you so love like.” Aladeen—“Oh, what could it be.” Harry—“I suppose its because you’re so pigeon toed.” Miss Rees (to Prank who was looking out the window) “Didn’t you ever see an automobile before, Frank?” 1’ rank No, that is, not this one.

But he hasn’t any mind. He scrambles through existence With his headlight on behind. Sure, a little bit of high school Fell from out the sky one day It landed on La Grande heights, And 1 guess its come to stay. For when people pass it by they always sigh and say, “What a shame it isn't larger, ! hope it is some day.” So the trouble has been brewing But our high school we don’t get. It’s an awful provocation, but 1 guess it can't be helped. For the years are still agoing And our needs known to the town.

Walter—“I assure you that my ancesters are good. They were the first settlers here.” Lowell—“Well, you see they had no immigration laws then.” Kenneth W.—“Hello, 812 Black?” George G. (Who was suffering from eating green apples.) “No, 1 ate one too green.” , Chet Thompson—“Don’t wipe your mouth on that napkin.” Bud Newlin—(Hasn’t shaved for a week)—“Why.” Chet —“You’ll wear a hole in it.” The Algamated Gold Fish are lovers of America. DeLoris—“Mercy! That isn’t the right tooth you pulled.” Dentist—“Be patient young lady. I’m coming to it.” The most efficient ways of sending communications are; telegraph, tele- phone and tell a woman. Miss Williamson Tomorrow come prepared to take Shakespeare’s life.” CERBERUS. Dear Reader, should you chance to go To Hades, do not fail to throw A “Sop to Cerberus” at the gate His anger to propitiate. Don’t say “Good Dog!” and hope thereby His three fierce Hiads to pacify. What though he try to be polite. And wag his tail with all his might; How shall one amiable tial Agaist three angry Heads prevail? The Heads must swim What puzzles me Is why in Hades there should he, A watch-dog; ’tis I should surmise The last place one would burglarize.
