Just a sittin’, and a thinkin’, And a drcamin all day long, Till the wanderlust would leave me. And the world could sing its song. There’s a dear old place a waitin’, Upon this mystry hill, Where the wander lust would leave me. Just of its own free will. Rut the wanderlust has got me. So I guess I’d better go, To that great and far off mystry hill, Like in days of long ago. TIIOMAS RUSSKLL 16- ANDERSON, HELMA General Course “Ever jolly, ever happy, Never giddy, never snappy.

The number of graduates this year surpasses all previous records. Compare this class of fifty-nine students with the two students who were graduated in 1907 or with the nineteen of the class of 1911. This class well deserves the record which it will leave as it turns from the paths it has learned to love so well. Since entering La Grande High School in the fall of 1918 it has been one of the most alert and loyal classes in school. There wore eighty-eight students enrolled in the fall of 1918 and a class of thirteen from Central school joined us at mid-year. As Freshmen we started out with a zip-many went out for athetics, many joined the tennis club, and in various other ways showed their pep. We went on two picnics that year, the first being very successful, the second the same—until it began to rain. When Sophomores we proved that we were a lively class. Many, both boys and girls, starred in athletics and other school activities that year. Besides going on two picnics, the class went on a sleighing party near Christmas time, and later gave a Valentine masquerade party for the student body. What a jolly time, all the odd characters, representing every corner of the globe, had that night amid colored lights and confetti! One delightful outstanding feature of the evening was the clever skit “Salt Peter” which kept the audience in an uproar. Then we became dignified Juniors. How good it was to be upper classmen. Our athletes maintained their previous record in all phases of athletics; and socially we did out best. The Junior-Senior banquet held May 7 was one of the nicest ever given. Our picnics—well did any one ever have a better time that we did on our junior picnics? During that year we established the custom of giving a Junior play. Two plays entitled, A Girl to Order”, and “The Two Dicks” were well presented. All of our dignity wore off by the time we became Seniors so this last year we have been just ordinary beings with “Senior” written across our foreheads. Our career has come to a climax, which we have made exciting. Many of our members have stood foremost in athletics, many have held important offices successfully; the personnel of the school debate team consisted entirely of Seniors. The class play “Clarence” was a great success; our jolly picnics have been well attended. But in recalling our school days there is a decided note of sadness. Two of our classmates have passed on to the Great Beyond; Mason Aldrich and Neal Smith. On account of illness Hilda Blockland, Beth Hesse, Roberta Smith and Gladys Saling were forced to drop school. Two held executive positions while here and a e greatly missed by their classmates. With a deep sigh of regret we must now say good-by to old La Grande High and the blue and white. We have seen the student-body grow, the faculty increase. 33— and new buildings erected. We have seen the A. G. S. organized, giving our girls a wider social acquaintance among the students, and to some of us executive ex- perience. We have spent many enjoyable hours within the building, studying or in classes, and believe that our career has truly been a success. We have had excellent directors and enjoyed the spirit of good-fellowship with them. And now we must graduate and bid you farewell, L. H. S., but we wish you success and happiness. —AUDREY HARER NIGHT IN THE FOREST It is dark in the dense gloomy forest. Stealthy, soft-footed night-hunters prowl; The rabbit looks out for the coyote, The mouse is in fear of the owl. The bear, that huge shaggy old villian. Always hungry, goes boldly around; Though he’s giant enough to kill cattle. He digs for squirrels in the ground. The cougar, the cruel sneaking killer. At his scream, I shudder with fear. Waits patiently, high in a pine tree. To spring on some innocent deer. Though I’m deep in the heart of the woodland. Thank God in this cabin I sleep; For ’tis night in the dense gloomy forest, When soft-footed night-prowlers creep. -34- —P.

Signed: CLASS OF 1922. By Ruth Hill, and Foster Sims. P 4 36- Unitur (Elaaa Support We are about to leave La Grande High! We pack our books with the spirit of triumph; with the feeling that we have climbed a notch in the ladder of life; with the conviction that that step has been the foundation to the best in life. There is a wonderful light in the horizon of tomorrow; the light of honor, truth and achievement. We are only beginning to appreciate the beauty that the world holds. We have just begun to learn! And as we leave “Dear Old La Grande High we feel in our hearts the spirit of gratitude for the things she has taught us; for the am- bition she has instilled in us for greater accomplishments. Mingled with that triumph is a touch of sadness. Our high school days are over. And whether or no, we must commence those tasks of life, which to each await our choosing. We are grateful to La Grande High. We cannot leave without expressing to our teachers an appreciation for the patience and effort they have put forth. We will always hold them in memory. They have instilled in us a respect for the power of knowledge, and it will he our ambition to continue our educational work, so that we may be an honor and credit to our school. We have a splendid class organization As president, Douglas Kline has been a notable success. He is a good leader, and we appreciate his reserved, modest, and good-natured ways. He has, indeed, the good will and friendship of all. As vice- president, B. B. Christian has filled the hill. We also express our appreciation to Edith Pierce, our secretary and treasurer. Our best tribute to her is, “May we meet again. We have taken an important part in school activities, as our members comprise most of the student-body organizations; and we have been prominent in dramatics, athletics, and other activities. As a parting word, may we express our good will to the lower classmen, and wish them success in their work within the confines of La Grande High. We have always realized a pleasure in our work here, and we hope that many succeeding classes will graduate with the thought that their work will not have been in vain, and that they have accomplished something worth white. May the Class of 22 wish long continued success to Dear Old La Grande High ! She will long continue in our memory, and though as students we are leaving her halls, yet we are with her always! The Class of 22 will ever he her students in spirit, and we shall con- tinue to support her activities. —LANIER PEARSON 37— 8 ntinr ffilaaa fumamur CONVICT ALIAS MADE NOTORIOUS BY IN FOR FUTURE Bunyan Anderson Helma Anderson _ Grant Bean ______ Herman Berger __ Leona Brown______ Clark Blackinton William Brown____ Everett Bennett _ Virginia Bryant _ Brook Colt_______ B.

I guess that I am growing old It’s nineteen forty-seven But I will tell you as best I can Of the city which rivals Heaven. I went by aerial express To see this city famous The plane was driven by Berger We used to call him “Hoimus”. When I arrived in Perfecttwon I heard an awful fuss For there was Bunyan Anderson Driving a hotel bus. I bought a perfect newspaper Some paper, too, no kidden Twas printed by Frank Stillwell And edited by Slater Whiddon. I went into a barber shop And sank into a chair And there was T.

The class has made a splendid record this year in all that it has attempted, except for one thing and that was our first picnic which almost ended disasterously. It was a happy crowd of young people who met that bright, sunny day to at- tend tho class picnic at Ladd Canyon, but on our way one of the cars upset and injured several of the occupants. But in spite of this bad beginning the class party, which was our next social function, ended in a much happier manner. The party, which was in the manner of a hard time affair, was well attended and many clever costumes wore worn that evening. The young people were given permission to dance for an hour, as many of the Jun'ors have not learned the graceful art, and desired to do so. the girls volunteered instructions and after the pleasant hour, refreshments were served. The Junio.-s won the championship in both boys and girls basket ball, and second place in track. We are sorry not to win the cup as permanent property of the class, but the class of twenty-four will never claim it without a desperato struggle with us. We discovered some fine dramat e ability among our group when the Junior play “All of a Sudden Peggy” was presented. The play was a wonderful success and was well received by the audience. We are planning to give one of the best banquets which has been given in the high school for a number of years and as for the mascot scrap, well, the Juniors intend to hold their own with the mighty Seniors. —BEULAH SMITH Tis dusk and the shadows are falling Round my lonely cabin door, To my memory they keep recalling.

A hiko to Morgan Lake with a picnic following was plannee in the fall but it was doomed to failure. On the day appointed there was a steady downpour of rain, and conditions were never quite right after that. This was a great disappoint- ment, as the whole class had planned to be on hand for a good time. We carried off all the honors in the stunt contest by illustrating a few im- portant events in history, and at the same time a wonderful orchestra made its appearance. This body is known as the “Moonshine Seven.’ We feel that we have an athletic record to be envied. The football team was well sprinkled with Sophomores, and although we did not win the basketball cham- pionship, three of our men received their letters, one of them being the captain of the team. In the class track meet we were victorious with a well balanced team. The record that wc have made this year is one to be proud of and we w'U try to make a better one next year. __VIRGIL WALSINGER.

Of course we went on a picnic, and waded through about five feet of mud getting up to Dutch Springs, but wo all enjoyed the hot dogs and the pickles when we got there. We sang songs around the fire and then returned home tired and muddy. Part of us forfeited our titles as “Rooks” when the mid-year class entered and if you upper classmen thought we were green, all you had to do to change your mind was to look at them. There are eighty-five Freshmen boys and eighty-six Freshmen girls,- making a total of one hundred and seventy-one. The Freshmen made two points in the contest, one for attendance in the sing- ing contest, and one for producing the most songs. LUCILE BLACK TWO LITTLE ROOKS Two little Rooks, Oh what a sight. Came staggering home from a rally one night. Their faces were black, their shirts were bright green And without any trousers they made quite a scene. Their hair was cut short, they were soaked to the skin. It appeared they had taken their annual swim. With their hearts full of vengeance, for the Sophs were to blame. They kept themselves hidden by taking dark lanes. Thus half frozen and keeping out of sight Came two little Rooks from a rally one night. —JACK HIATT -57— ®o ODur IFrtrniiH La Grande High School is a standard High School, offering a choice of subjects that will provide a well balanced education. Its graduates may go out feeling that they are better equipped to meet the problems of everyday life. Graduates may enter any standard college or university in the United States. It is the aim of the High School to meet the needs of the largest possible number of young people in the community, thus being of the greatest possible service to the people. We believe that the primary function of our schools is to prepare boys and girls for the duties of life, to render them useful, intelligent, and progres- sive citizens of the state and nation, to give them a certa n amount of fundamental konwledge but above all to train thorn in habits of body and mind that will meet the present and future needs of a complex industrial, commercial and social world. A student entering La Grande High School may prepare for life in a number of ways. He first gets that general educat'.on so necessary to all and in addition to that he may specialize in any one of several departments. The student may take any of the following courses, each of which is designed with a particular aim in view. The General Course is intended primarily for those whose education ceases with the High School. It offers a wide latitude or choice of subjects in all depart- ments, English, Language, History and Science. The Commercial Course is designed to meet the needs of those students who will enter business after the completion of high school, in the capacity of stenographers, bookkeepers, clerks, secretaries, etc. The Household and Industrial Arts courses are practical in their nature. Sew- ing, cooking, wood-turning, forge, lathe, and auto mechanics are offered. Students wishing to enter college may shape any of the above courses to con- form to the entrance requirements of col’eges and universities. imperial Srpartnuntia COM MERC1AL DEPARTMENT In this department, stenography, bookkeeping, business english and typing are being offered. There are about 150 students enrolled n these classes this year. Stenography is a two-year subject. The Gregg Manual and Progressive Exer- cises, together with supplementary material are used the first year. The second year “Gregg Speed Studies’ is used. Practical office training which includes the methods of filing; operation of office appliances; as well as the routine of the office is given in advanced stenography. At the end of the second year, nearly all students are able to take dictation at the rate of 100 words a minute. The aim of this department is to give each student a broad and comprehens've view of the work from both a practical and theoretical stand point. An endeavor 58 is also being made to give the business world people who are able to do their work more quickly and efficiently. HOUSEHOLD ARTS La Grande High School has one of the best Home Economic Departments in the state. The building is equipped to take care of the work in both the seventh and eighth grades, and the High School. 216 girls are taking the work this year. The aim of the work in Home Economics is entirely practical. The courses are designed to teach better living and only those things and taught that may be actually applied. A specified course of 2 years is offered in each Domestic Art and Domestic Science. In Domestic Science the first year is devoted to the study of food principles and the values of foods in a diet. The second year the work is along the lines of meal planning and serving. The costs of various foods is studied. Quantity cooking is practiced in the cafeterias during the winter months. The advanced pupils are given opportunity to serve at banquets during the year. In Domestic Art the first year more advanced work in the textiles is followed. They also study color harmony, designing and house decoration. Each girl is re- quired to make a dress during the year. The girls learn to make articles of clothing from wool and silk. INDUSTRIAL ARTS The courses offered are classified under three departments—wood-working, mechnaical drawing and machine shop. These three departments have the following courses: woodworking, which offers elementary bench work for the seventh and eighth grades, bench work, cabinet making, wood turning, and wood finishing for the high school. Mechanical drawing offers geometric constructions, working, drawings, orthographic, isometric and cabinet projection, sections, developments, perspective machine drawing and architectural drawing for the high school; free hand drawing and working drawings for the seventh and eighth grades. In the machine shop the boys, may select auto mechanics, blacksmithing and machine shop practice. In the auto mechanics course instruct on is given in overhauling and making simple repairs, valve grinding, adjusting tappets, taking up and scraping in bearings, relining and adjusting brakes, etc. Study of the chassis, power plant, starting, lighting and ignition systems, earbureation, cooling and oiling systems and the relation of these parts. Automobiles, motorcycles, stationary gas engines are fur- nished in part by members of the class and by car owners about the city. Study is also given to the manufacture of iron and steel and other mcitals used in the automotive industry. Trips are taken to down town shops for observation and demon- strations. In blacksmith� ng the boys learn to draw out, up feet, bend and weld iron and ste'd. He makes such useful projects as rings, staples, gatehooks, chain links, eye- -59— holts, clevis, a pair of tongs, cold chisels, punches, open end wrenches, etc. He also studies the various kinds of steel. A number of jobs come here into the shop for repair and the hoys have made those repairs. In machine shop practice the hoy makes practical application of his mathe- matics. He calculates speeds of pulleys and gears, cutting speeds, tapers, root dia- meters, drill sizes for taps, etc. Actual work consists of bench work, operations oji the drill press and lathe. Bench work consists of chipping, tiling, sawing, tapping, etc. Work on the drill press involves drilling and boring. Operations on the lathe cover plain turning, taper projects are made involving the above operations, such as socket wrenches, hall peen hammers, taper centers, taper sleeves, holts, small steel clamps, gear pullers, jack screws, etc. Besides the projects already named some new parts are made for the repair of automobiles, such as bushings, etc. Motor and generator commutators are turned down and valves are refaced, and other work along this line.

BOYS STUNT SHOW The L. H. S. Merrymakers was given with great success on May 5, hy the h0yS of the La Grande High School. The show was of superior quality and the audience was unanimous in its praise. Mr. Cramer and Mr. Towler are to he com- plemented on their splendid coaching of the show. 66 ALFRED MEYERS ‘‘(Saaarif All was well in the “lab.” Thru the opening of the window, the spring zephyrs wafted the sweet odors of opening flowers and the fresh smell of the new earth. A thousand balding, gurgling, trickling, shouting, H 20’s filled the air with music, from the not distant hillsides. In, on the balmy spring nitrogen and oxygen, flaoted the music of a robin, bursting his throat with melody from his perch on the top of a fence post across the campus. It was ten o’clock and all was well in the “lab.” Then like some deadly asp, hidden in a beautiful bunch of roses; or a wirthing, slimy serpent, without hiss or rattle, the deadly thing struck terror and consterna- tion to every soul. Professor Cramer had just announced one of his simple formulas, concluding with: “Now if you put this together as I have given it to you, the results will be very simple and harmless, but if you do not--------it will probably be slow music and flowers for all!” This consoling information had often stilled the fear in the hearts of the inexperienced lab student throughout the year. There was a groaning moan: every head turned in time to see Audrey Harer clasp one hand over her nose, stagger a few steps and crumple to the floor. A blind- ing odor was filling the room. Russell Price and Pete Bosquet rushed to the window, gasping like dyingfls h. By this time the awful odor had permeated every inch of space, and a dozen students were coughing and hetically struggling for fresh air. Our esteemed professor and Jean Taylor alone remained calm. Jean shouted, “Don’t be alarmed, it’s only hydrogen sulfide.” “No, Jean, I disagree with you, I think from the smell that it is carbon tet- rachloride” sounded the professor’s voice above the coughing, strangling confusion. By this time Herman Berger and Lester Masterson were hanging precariously out of a window. The odor was too strong even for them; and five students were making for the door on hands and knees. Reassured by the professor’s bold front, the class as a whole stood by their guns. “Gassed again” hissed Bill Heughan thru the handkerchief held over his nose and mouth. “Get the ammonia quick” yelled Percy McGauhey, “We can neutralize this odor.” Out into the spacious halls, up the wide stairs, into the calm study rooms, crept the noxious vapor; fastening its withering blight on every object. “Where is my gas mask?” “Quick!” Hoke Smith and Clifford Horstman, two hardy ex-service men came staggering blindly into the hall. “Mr. Kline, please stuff the crack under the door with paper”, Miss Whitney 68 requested. “There is some more of that horrid hydrogen sulfide that Everett Bennett turns loose.” Professor Towler and Superintendent Hampton rushed from their offices, but were glad to stagger back in the face of the horrible odor. As Professor Towler slammed the door, he was just able to moan, “It is another strong dose of hydrogen sulfide.” The ammonia seemed to have saved the students in the lab. Professor Cramer had started an investigation. “Whose experiment was that? That is the most penetrating combination of chemicals that it has ever been my misfortune to have smelled.” “It’s only hydrogen sulfide,” asserted Jean Taylor, altho he was scarcely able to breathe and the gas drew streams of tears from his eyes. Just then Ruth Hill screamed and jumped seven feet, and the whole lab class were astounded to see an animal about the size of a large cat with bushy tail curled high up over his striped back, making swiftly for the open door. “There goes your hydrogen sulfide,” yelled George Garrick. Professor Cramer commanded silence, his sharp eyes searching every face. “How did that skunk get in this room?” It was eleven o’clock and all was not well in the lab. —MAX CULLEN FACULTY F is for Francis you know we have three A is for Angela, she has “specks” to see.

When a stream Is filled with water from a snow-capped mountain, the corroct thing for it to do is to change its disposition to a cold «and frigid one. But by the afternoon of a fine day, old Sol has somewhat tempered the water and a swim might not be out of place. But to a person of the advanced age of five, the creek seemed like the Amazon river. But nobly, 1 took myself in hand «and forced myself to breast the raging torrent. 1 reached a very exclusive hole and casting discretion to the winds, I dropped myself into its slimy depths. All went well until a minnow decided that my eye might be a good foraging ground and tried to swim in. I tried to rub my eye and my chin went down and struck a. rock, and my feet went up and struck a tree, which happened to be hanging over the water. My mouth filled with water and my heart with misgivings; would I die? I massacred the minnow, but I felt myself going deeper, deepr. I went so deep that I finally went down ovor my waist and I was brought up sharply by what felt like a pair of pinchers. I calmly disengaged a somewhat forward crab, that evidently wanted to become very closely related to me. Gently but firmly, I let him know that his acquaintance was not desirable. I let him off very easyily by using two rocks, a sandwich of which he was the filling. I stood up, decided I liked the view better sitting down, and sat down, greatly aide by some slippery stones I happened to have the good fortune to stand on. Slow- ly and p«ainfully I «again elevated myself to a perpendicular position and carefully guided my steps toward the bank. Without having time to even put on my goggles I started immediately on a joy-ride via the Logger’s and Lumbermen’s Route, Limited. 1 happened to sit on a pine branch, so, not liking the upholstering, I decided to transfer. I transferred and rolled about two or three gallons away and got to my feet. Struggling for the bank, I groped for branches and finally reached the tempting green grass. Selah! The swim is ended. Kathryn Creek may have in ten minutes time, if such it may be called, be chilly, but when one thinks of the excitement he can it is worth freezing to death to have a ten minute swim, in its icy regions. —A LFR ED M EY ER S 70 A 5 rientittr (Smnhurn (BY PERCY McGAUHEY) The other day while examining some old letters and papers I by chance came across an old letter which my friend. Jack Benton, had written me the year before when he was in Arizona, and in which he had related the story of his summer ex- perience with a scientific greenhorn. It ran like this: “Dear Sam:— As you already know I have spent the greater part of my life punchin’ cattle that is, the only part of it that is worth remembering, but by the holy salt mackrel I’ll never forget this last summer if I live to see heck freeze over. A bunch of us punchers was camped out here close to the desert and there wasn’t a great deal doin’ till a greenhorn from some eastern college came along. We didn’t know nothin’ about it till we sees a hack drive up to our camp and a fat feller with green socks on gets out. He had so many trunks that some of the boys thought he had a portable house and asked him if he wer’n’t afraid he’d break the dishes and the cookstove handling them so rough. He told us that our boss had told him as how some of us fellers would show him around and act as guides, but none of the boys seemed anxious to take the job so me and Fred Walters volunteered, and he told us to be ready to start early in the morning. Well the next morning Fred and me had our horses saddled and was ready to start two hours afore that hyenie got up. When he did at last get ready to start ho came out with his socks on the outside of his pants and totin’ Mr. Carnegie’s library, besides a lot of clubs and sticks and a long pole with a thing like a night- cap on the end of it. ‘You boys will have to lug part of this stuff, sez he. ‘Not on your life, sez I, ‘Not when there’s so many pack horses right handy.’ ‘Oh we wont need no horses, we are going to walk,’ sez he. ‘Walk,’ sez I, ‘Walk! But what about them animals you are aimin’ to catch.’ ‘I have here sufficient apparatus for the capture of any specimen that inhabits this section,’ he replied. ‘Yes, if you can get close enough to pile it all on thorn there will be no gettin’ away,’ I growls, gettin’ off my horse. Fred and I picked up our lassos and I protests, ‘Now look ahere, I ain’t going’ to t'e into none of them big critters with this rope when I’m a foot.’ ‘You wont need no rope, sez the greenhorn, but I took mine along anyway cuz 1 never was much on bulldoggin, and I figgered if I had to catch anything I’d rope it. We finally got started and after we had gone about a quarter of a mile that greenhorn suddenly drops his library and yells, ‘Catch that ’un! Don’t let it get away.” -71 — ‘What 'un sez I. gettin my rope ready and lookin’ around for something to throw it onto. ‘That butterfly, fool!’ yells he. Then I sees a little butterfly flying around a bush, gosh I was expecting to have to rope some prehistoric monster. ‘Gee Whiz!’ sez I, ‘that thing aint good for nothin’ and asides I can’t catch it with my rope.’ ‘Kill it, he sez, runnin’ after it, ‘But be sure’n don’t mash it! “I kin shoot it,’ I yells, ’but there won’t be much meat left on its carcass.’ Finally he got his night-cap over the insect and waddled up and grabbed it. ‘A rare specimen,’ he sez. ‘Well, don’t rear like that again, you got me all excited for nothin, I roars, recoiling my rope. He caught a few more specimens and by that time he was played out and had to start back. Fred and me had to pack all his junk back to camp. The next day we got him after a rattlesnake, and the blamed fool rushed right up within three feet of it and sat down. He began to look first at the snake and then at a picture in one of his books. I yanks out my old forty-five and lets drive, BOOM! The snake’s head disappears and the scientist keels over and gets up roarin’ about another specimen ruined, and swabbin’ the landscape from his face. I wish I had let it ruin a worse specimen,’ sez I. Well we fooled along like this for a couple of weeks and me and Fred was gettin’ mighty tired of walkin’ around on the hot desert, so we got the scientist talked into the notion of goin’ to the mountains for awhile. It was cool enough there so as we could have some fun without exertin’ our- selves to any great extent. The bridge across the creek was only an old log so me and Fred spent an hour fix in’ some poles under the ends of it so as wo could pry with them and roll the log. I went across the log first and Fred waited on the other side. When old “Science” was about halfway across we gave our poles a heave, the log rolled and a fat specimen splashed about half the creek out on us. ‘Grab them specimens’ 1 yells, ‘don’t let them get away.’ But the joke turned on us, for the greenhorn came up with a handful of some kind and sez. ‘‘Thank you, hoys. If you hadn’t done that I never would have known all these fine speciments of -----------------existed here.’ (He used some word that I’d never attempt to repeat.) ‘We’ll get him up on top of that cliff some day,’ sez Fred, ‘and I reckon we’ll have some fun.” ‘Yes but how we goin to get him up there without a derrick,’ sez I. ‘Pull him up with a rope,’ sez Fred. And one day we happened to be up on the slope and I sez to the scientist, ‘L t’s go up on top of that cliff. I reckon as how there must be a whole tribe of speci- mens up there.’ 72 ‘Al! right, he sez, ‘but how in heck are we goin’ to ge up?’ ‘I’ll show you,’ sez I, and me and Fre l dumb up the cliff with a rope. We threw the rope down to the greenhorn and he took hold of it but although we heaved till the rope creaked, we couldn’t get him off’n the ground. “Hold onto the rope and I’ll climb up,’ he yells. He tried to come up the rope but me and Fred couldn’t let go, quick enough and he pulled us over the cliff. I was nearest the edge so I lit first and Fred lit on top of me. Well, I’ve been in the hospital ever since, and this is the first time I’ve been able to write. So long, BEN.” MV FIRST SWIM “Let’s throw him in,” the big boys cried; As I stood by the water’s side. Shivering, scared and quite alone; I’d felt the water with my toe. And say, it was as cold as snow. “Oh let me be,’’ I said in fright, “I’ll go in pretty soon alright.” I backed away but t’was too late; One grabbed my feet, one grabbed my hands, And I was dragged across the sands. I kicked, I bit, I swung my right, But soon found it did no good to fight They were too much for me. They swung me once; they swung me twice. I hit the water—cold as ice. I felt my day had come for sure. As the water closed in o’er my poor, Shivering frame; Iwished I’d minded ma. I struggled with my might and main, I thought I’d ne’er see Ma again. It seemed a long way to the shore; I thought I could stay up no more: My knee hit on a rock I’d swam ashore and saved my skin, You’d swim to if they threw you in. —73— A (£la00tr of ’22 “POHRMAN”, said Betty’s mother to the Black Smith. “But don't you fret. I’ll not FOSTER a willful girl and we will bring her around if I have to SWITZER.” “HELMA! Maybe she could be LEDBETTER if she wasn't driven so. Let’s coax her a little and if that PERCY of a TAYLOR comes around here again I W1LLETA BRICK fall on him. So he RITTER a note asking her to take a walk with him the nexa afternoon. But Betty felt it her duty to D. KLINE. She didn’t like the Black Smith as he was a regular WILLIAM and anyway she had a date with the TAYLOR. The next afternoon she stole noiselessly out thru the KITCHEN LESTER her mother should see her and was soon CULLEN flowers on the Hill side with her lover. Suddenly the Black Smith rode up on a COLT and catching Betty in his arms he dashed on down the road. As he passed the MILLER he dropped the girl beside him with this awful threat: “I will return when I have slain her wretched lover, and if you let her escape, this dagger will PIERCE your cursed heart.” Then he rode on. In spite of his being a Black Smith this WILLIAM was not a wonderful HORSTMAN and was soon thrown. About this time our hero once more appeared on the scene and caught the wicked man in spite of his BUNYON. The Smith hems and HAWES around and sneezed “McGAUHEY” a couple of times but could offer no suitable explanation for his outrageous conduct. Tho he was meek as any LAMM and swore by St. MARGARET that he would not do it again. So they forgave him. It was now evening and they were hungry so the MILLER took them in and gave them a LOTA ham BERBER) and BEANS which was the best they had EVERETT. That night by the STILWELL they repeated the old story. “We will go away he said, PATTEN her BROWN curls, and forget all this. “Yes, I’ll admit it,” said Betty’s mother to a neighbor some time later, WAGENNER head over the back yard fence. “I did want my girl to marry the Black Smith but you know the TAYLOR has always been Betty’s lover and besides he's a good CHRISTIAN. Her dress was net over a GERTRUDE slip and they’he honeymooning in FLORENCE.” —RUTH GARRICK Mary had a Thomas cat. That warbled like Caruso. The neighbor got a baseball bat, And now he doesn’t do so. —74— THE MIMIR With this number the MIMIR makes it’s tenth annual appearance. The MIMIR is published by the Senior class and is the written expression of student life at La Grande High School. SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit is difficult to define. It is a subtle spirit that may or maynot pervade throughout the student body activities and the general life of the students and faculty of a school. Agressiveness in sports, comradeship among the students, submission to authority and respect for the faculty are some of the tangible mani- festations of healthy school spirit. School spirit is the school. Without it there can be no student government. “A house divided cannot stand”, proves that cooperation is essential to school spirit, which binds the different factions into an enthusiastic group that will work for the greatest good of the school. Probably the most common manifestation of school spirit is in athletics and those who strive to lift the standards of their school in encounters with members of other schools. The proper spirit submerges the glory of the individual for the common welfare of all. In attending the social and athletic affairs of the school, the student should not neglect his studies. Low grades, tardiness, and absences lower the standard of the school rapidly and often prevent competent people from taking part in athletics and other activities. Rivalry between classes creates school spirit. One class trying to outdo another in games, contests, etc., makes move enthusiasm. It brings out the best there is in a class and brings out a desire between schools to gain more honors, thus add- ing to school spirit. We all realize the importance of school spirit, raising as it does the standard of scholarship end the standard of all school activities. Hence let each of us aid in promoting school spirit. ANOTHER YEAR Another year has been written into the life of La Grande High School, and also, into the life of every student. We may well ask, now that an opportunity has presented itself for taking an inventory, just what has this year meant? Certainly it has meant much to all concerned. The school has stepped forward to fultill its destiny in the lives of the students, and to spread its influence as one of the leading institutions o.f the country and the state. Little can be chronicled on the basis of one year for the influence of such a great factor as our High School. One had just as well try to ascertain the amount of growth of the oat after watching it for a day. But over a greater length of time marked improvement is seen. Little does the individual student know just what -76 has been accomplished in this one year, but as life expands and the new years and experiences come, the depth and meaning of this year’s influences will be more manifest. The development of character and the training of youth is a long and arduous process. But it is out of such experiences as we have enjoyed this year that true accomplishment comes. The trials and labors of this year should be typical of the bigger experiences of life. School is not only a preparation for life, but it is life. The problems solved here make the same mental demands as any which will come afterward. The same ffort will be required for the accomplishment of what are termed life problems. The same disappointments will be met, and must be faced with the same youthful enthusiasm and hope and that has characterized the true student. There are the experiences and ideals which constitute the warp and woof of life. If they have been lived and solved, elements of success are accrued. If they have been neglected and disregarded, disappointment will inevitably come. Youth cannot be cheated, and compensated for later. Every flaw will show in the whole cloth as it comes from the. loom of time later. The color scheme and pattern and quality are determined by the material which goes into the weave and so with later years, they, too, will show, the strains� and flaws, if any have been allowed to creep in now. Fortunate, indeed, is the youth who has the advantage of such an environment as our High School. The life among associates who are striving toward higher ideals, must of necessity, leave its impression. Under such a stimulus the best mind growth is assured. May we, who leave this year, enter new fields and carry with us the ideals implanted here, and to � ive and act that this influences hall rebound to the good of our school, our community, and society generally. Notes in other books remind us We can have some stale ones too, But if you do not contribute What on earth is there to do? -77 A (Hale nf atom Hitzzarh$ A Story with a MORAL. Three buzzards once sat on a pine tree tap high, On a tree top that reached almost into the sky; Thought the wind thru the branches its weird noises made. The buzzards continued to sit unafraid. “I see,” said the first as he looked toward the east, ‘‘A caravan coming that’ll sure make a feast, A trio of lost weary travelers I spy, 1 can hardly wait for the wretches to die.” ‘‘Don’t get in a hurry,” the second replied As the fast weakening travelers he longingly eyed; ‘‘They might have a gun and some bullets to boot We’d best wait till they are too feeble to shoot.” The third one gazed on, and his feathers did ruff ‘‘By the holy salt mackerel they look awful tough We won’t even wait till the lobsters are dead; We’ll each peck the eyes from a traveler's head.” So the first buzzard flew and his victim fell prey As he pecked and he gnawed and he gobbled away; Till his gizzard was stuffed from his feet to his chin; Then he laid down and died from the poison within. The second bird flew, like a gourmet did stuff His craw never signaled the time to say ’nuff. To eat all his victim he couldn’t begin So he laid down and died from the poison within. The third buzzard flew, on his victim did light, And he pecked till the moon was above shining bright; But no dent could he make in the traveler’s tough hide. So he laid himself down and from hunger he died. —PERCY McGAUIIEY THANKSGIVING DANCE The first social function of the season was a dance given by the student body on Thanksgiving night after the Pendleton-La Grande football game. The gym was prettily decorated and there was a “cozy corner for the patrons and patronesses, of whom there was a large number. The music was funished by Gekeler's orches- tra. John Natto sang several songs, with the orchestra adding ‘pep’ to the dances. Delicious punch was served by several members of the younger set. All the mem- bers of the student body and the alumni were invited. The dance was heartily enjoyed by everyone. BACKWARD PARTY One of the novel parties of the year was the “backward party given by the student body in honor of the mid-year rooks on the night of Friday, February 10th. As the name suggests, every thing was backward; the dates were made by the girls and no one was admitted to the gym who was not dressed backward. “Jeff Bean was awarded the prize for the most original and clever costume. Every person was requested to bring a package containing some article, which he did not want. These packages were exchanged, adding to the merryment or the crowd. During the even- ing, the rooks were lined up In the middle of the floor and served bread and milk. They were then given special stunts to do as a way of initiating them to high school life. At the close of the evening, refreshments consisting of cake, ice cream and punch were served. SENIOR CAST BANQUET Tne Junior play cast honored the Senior play cast with a banquet on the night of March 11, after the last performance of “Clarence. It was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Palmer. Dainty place cards bearing the names of the players in the two plays, marked the guests places. A delicious four course dinner was served, after which the various members responded to toasts. SCHOOL BOARD DINNER The advanced class in Domestic Science entertained the School Board at dinner on the evening of March 14. The table was attractively arranged for fourteen guests. The color scheme was carried out by a large bowl of sweet peas as a center piece . A four course dinner was served. 82 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual banquet given to the Seniors by the Juniors was enjoyed Saturday, May 6th. The banquet was served at six o’clock in the Domestic Science department. The rooms were tastefully decorated in daffodils and other spring flowers.

(£. iRrpnrt The Associated Girl Students, which was organized in 1920, has proven to be a decided success in the number of social events which have been given this year. The first function, was the annual party for the Freshmen girls, given in October. It was in the nature of a program, followed by a social hour of games and getting acquainted, after which refreshments were served. The next event proved to be a program furnished entirely by talent in the A. G. S. The girls are very much interested in this phase of the work, and the programs are always well attended. To break the continuous monotony of every day school life, the matinee dances were organized. These were given after school, being attended by the girls of the A. G. S. only. The music ha.s been piovidcd by a Victrola which the girls have paid for as their work of the year. The largest and most successful event of the year was the Christmas party which was given for the boys and the student body, and for members of the faculty. A play, ‘The Christmas Carol,” was presented by a group of the gir’s, and carols expressing the yule-tide spirit were sung. After the play everyone went to the gym, where a large and beautiful Christmas tree occupied the center of the floor. The rest of the gym was decorated in the evergreens and usual Christmas festoons. To make the evening more delightful Santa Claus visited the gathering of joyous young people and presented each w?th a candy cane. Soon from the booths at each end of the room ice cream and punch were served. Toward the close of the festivities the boys gave three rousing cheers for the A. G. S., and each left the party with the feeling that the evening had been a very happy one. Several luncheons were given for the executive committees, and many were the plans that were formulated at these pleasant social hours. The mid-year freshmen girls were not forgotten. And each one of them has been adopted by an upper classman who acts as their big sister to help them solve the puzzling questions of the “New World” which they have just entered. To get them all acquainted a luncheon was served,, and the b g and little sisters have become close friends. The Annual Stunt Show—The April Antiks was given on the evening of April 7, 1922. Each class gave an eight minute stunt, also the Latin club, Home Economics, and Modern Language clubs were represented. Several Musical numbers were ren- dered very successfully. There was a good attendance of town people. The A. G. S. is making school life more pleasant and profitable. - -BUELAH SMITH, MYRTLE BLACK -87 £atin Club President___________________________________________________________ Thelma Kitchen Vice President_________________________________________________________ Flavia Ritter Secretary-Treasurer _______________________________________________ Thornton Chapman The Latin Club is one of the oldest clubs in the school which is fitting con- sidering its relationship to the ancients.

Arrangements were made for a dual debate which was held with Pendleton March 30. The negative team remained at home while the affirmative team went out. The subject of debate was “Resolved that the Phillipine Islands should be granted their immediate Independ- ence.” The personnel of the teams was: affirmative, Ted Larsen and Alfred Meyers; negative, Grant Bean and Everett Bennett.

Practice was delayed by the untimely death of Neal Smith, star halfback of the previous year. This unfortunate accident put a real crimp in the prospective line-up for the season. The season started with an L. H. S. victory over Enterprise of 7 to 0. the game being played on the home grounds. Union came to La Grande the next week and returned home on the short end of a 68 to 0 score The next game marked the turning point of thol season. Prairie City defeating our team 20 to 0 on the Prairie City field. The trip put the team under a big handicap by riding on the train from eight in the morning until two n the afternoon, and then playing at 2:45. In this game “B. B.” Christian, “Mickey” Andrews, “Chet” Garity, “Tiny” Woodell and Ted Larsen were injured. “Runt” Sherwood had been injured in the Union game so the coach was left with a crippled line-up for the Baker game the next week. Baker finally emerged with more points to their credit after a hard fought game. Elgin made a successful invasion and walked away with a clean-cut victory, 20 to 0. The Wallowa game ended 13 to 10 in favor of Wa’lowa, but the game was later forfeited to La Grande because of an inelig'ble played on the Wallowa team. The Thanksgiving game with Pendleton was anything but football. Water or Ice po o would be a more suitable name, in which the Pendleton swimmers excelled, the score being 14 to 0. Giant Bean and “Dutch” Alstott were selected for the Eastern Oregon team. “Dutch” will lead the 1022 team, being elected captain by a unanimous vote. A football assembly was held after the season. Coach Lodell presenting letters to the following players: C.ipta'n Earl Larson, Captain-elect Clifford Alstott, Grant Bean, Ted Larson, Herman Berger, Foster Sims, B. B.

Lack of experience and inability to hit the basket regularly when away from the home floor spelled defeat on numerous occasions. However the team broke even with all of its Eastern Oregon rivals in this section. The Pendleton team which played for the championship of the state took all four games from La Grande. Captain Ray Lynch at forward was high point man for the season. His in- dividaul playing featured in a number of the games. James Coker as the other forward, and Glenn Metca'f as center played consistent ball all season. Francis Hough and Floyd Snrrth worked well together as forwards and show promise of being regulars next season. Grant Bean and Robert Garity held down the guarding positions in good style, and on many occasions put up a stone wall defense. At a meeting of the above mentioned letter men, Glenn Metcalf was unanimous- ly elected to lead the 1923 team.

Captain Theisen led about twenty men out soon after but inclement weather kept the men at cross-country until the first of April. The Pentathalon held on April 9th was won by Karl Larson who scored 93 points, with W. Christian 91, Clifford Horstmon 83 and Murray Kingwell 82 following. On April 16th the Seniors won the Annual Interclass meet with a score of 54 4 points, followed by the Specials with 31, Freshmen 24, Sophomores 20, and Juniors 19. Leo Shannon was h«gh point man with 21 points and Earl Larson with 14, second. In a sea of mud on April 27th, the Union tracksters were defeated 71 to 32 in a meet devoid of thrills. On April 31 La Grande journeyed to Pendleton to contest the Round-up City lads. After the smoke of the battle had cleared. L. H. S. was holding the short end of a 91 to 31 score. May 7th brought the Baker High team to the local track. By winning seven first places and the majority of seconds and thirds against Baker’s six firsts, L. H. S. won the meet, 75 to 47. L. H. S. was particularly strong in dashes and half mile. Pendleton with a well balanced team together with the advantages of a longer season easily won the Eastern Oregon Meet at Union on May 14th. To place second in the meet, it was necessary for L. H. S. to win the relay hut they were nosed out by about a yard by the Pendleton team and had to content themselves with following Baker in the summary. Captain Theisen, Kingwell and Blokland in the distances, Earl Larsen, Heughan and Smith in the sprints, Christian, Smutz and Tel Larsen in the quarter mile. Smith, Lynch and Horstman in the hurdles; Bean, E. Larson and Horstman in the weights, Black in the pole vault and javelin, Theisen and Blokland in the jumps, Heughan, Hawes and E. Larson in the relay were the main point winners of the season for L. H. S. At the close of the season the team was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reynolds. Light refreshments were served after which Grant Bean was declared Captain elect for the 1922 season. Note:—This 1921 track report must he included in this issue of the Mimir because, owing to the late date of the meet last year, the editors were unable to in- clude it in that 1921 issue. The same is true of this year. Only a part of the 1922 track record is given here and the Eastern Oregon report will he given in the next issue of the Mirir, 1923. -102 $rark 1922 Many boys have tried out for track this year and despite the Fact that only a few of last year’s men are here, our track team is one to he proud of.

The first game was played at Union, the local girls winning from the Union girls with a score of 56 to 5.

The wedding took place at the home of the bride’s parents and a happier couple was never seen than the par- ents of the bride, as the last rites were performed. The wedding was a gala affair with only a few friends and relatives present and according to all reports everything went off smoothly without any of the mani- festations of hatred that are so often shown by the parents of the young people and usually mar the solemnity of such occasions. The bride was dressed in a beautiful dress of laven- dar and old rose, and a long piece of crepe trailing behind lent dignity to the occasion. The groom wore a sim- ple look and was dressed in h'ack. Which same was entirely appropriate into Mr. Jones store and upsetting everything that stood in the way. After the cow yas ejected and the smoke cleared away it was discovered that Ezra had lost his glass eye. Miss Malinda’s entertainment was consider- ed one of the most successful events of the season. The young members of the dancing class were dressed to represent fairies with Miss Malinda in the center as the fairy queen. Miss Malinda has been studying anti- septic dancing with the Bellevue cor- respondence school, and is considered quite proficient. Enough money was taken in at the dance to purchase for Mr. Jones a new glass eye and jug of app'ejack. Motto for the month of May: “Do the other fellow be fore he does tryanguls.

After partaking heartily of such as the cupboard afforded the bride’s father went down the celar and in a few moments reappeared with a bottle of his private stock. What happened after this is sur- rounded with mystery, as none of those prese t tell the same story but by the general appearance of the guests this morning good time was had by all. Social Events The outstanding social function of the year in Summerville took place last Friday evening when Miss Malin- da K. Bussey and her anti-septic dan- cing class gave the benefit perfor- mance at the opera house. The pro- ceeds were used to purchase a new glass eye for Ezra Jones, the proprie- tor of the General Merchandise store. It will be remembered that Ezra lost his glass eye last Sunday, when Miss Bussey’s cow broke loose and pro- ceeded to disturb the peace in Sum- FINANCIAL REPORT OF L. H. S.
