WILKERSON College Preparatory 28 % Senior (Class history A class history is like an autobiography, made up of self-analysis and per- .haps egotism. So this one is. As Freshmen we fulfilled our duty by taking full possession of rooms three and fifteen, occupying more seats in the assembly room than any Freshmen class before us, rising in full dignity from our seats when the new faculty were asked to stand. Though green, it was a lively green for we took the first opportunity to go on a picnic in trucks and cars to Mount Glenn. We were dubbed a very enthusiastic class by our fellow students when we put on the “Freshmen Assembly”, a stunt show put on and acted by members of the Freshmen class. Our Sophomore year was full of pep and picnics. We still kept our title as an enthusiastic class, owing to our “gang” of boys who were always the uninvited guests at every party that took place and kept almost everything humming. As Juniors, we were the peppiest class in school, winning both the girls’ and boys’ interclass basketball games and the mascot fight. Our first picnic though, tended to put a damper on the year by the accident of a car tipping over. Toward the end of the year we gave a party at which the girls, most of whom knew how to dance, taught the boys so we would be able to make a showing at the Junior-Senioi banquet. It was a decided success and the boys learned how to dance� . The Junior play proved successful, and the play cast, on the last night of the Senior play, gave the Senior play cast a banquet. The Junior-Senior Banquet was delightful, and so ended our Junior year joyously. “Wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling” at last to be able to call ourselves Seniors and occupy the choice seats in the assembly, and be upper classmen at last. Oh, that feeling of scorn we experienced for the mere Freshmen who entered that year. Our Senior year, all the way through, was a crowning glory to our four years in high school. Many of us experienced regrets at the thoughts of leaving forever. The first picnic at Hilgard brought us all together and we “stuck” the rest of the year. (Class JJroplirry One morning we decided to go on a sight seeing tour. As we were obliged to return in a short time, we chose to go on the airplane bus. We rushed to the station to engage front seats as my friend and I were both partially deaf. While we stood waiting for our tickets, we were astonished at being addressed by our maiden names. Peering through our spectacles, we recognized Dawrence Trill the ticket agent with mysterious black hair, horn rimmed glasses, and flashing diamonds in cuff links and stick pin. He kindly offered to engage a taxi for us� . The driver was one of his friends, aud who should it be but Elsie Yeck. My friend and I were both very doubtful of our safety when we learned that the aviator was John Robinson. However a short talk with him convinced us that our safety was assured, because he was now the husband of Ducile Craig and the proud and responsible father of five small children. Among the many passengers, we discovered several of our old high school class mates. Mrs.. Fonda McDonald was sitting at the opposite end of the plane, continually fussing with her French poodle. We were disturbed in our talk with her by a great commotion at the side of the plane. Investigation proved it was caused by Genevieve Hanna with a huge camera which she was having considerable difficulty to find room for. Just then the aviator called “All aboard,” and the late 29 passengers hurried into the plane. As we glided off we looked hack and saw two old farmers frantically waving their hats to us. By the aid of our spy-glasses, we recognized them to he Reid Geddes and Tom Ruckman. Poor boys, evidently they had never overcome their high school habit of being late. Now being well on our way the lecturer began his lecture. We seemed to recognize some familiarity in his voice. To our utmost astonishment we saw it was T. C. McDonald. Of course we always did know that he had a good voice for something. Fie pointed out the home of the noted writer, Beulah Smith, over which we were just passing. Not far from this was the home of Jeanne Smith who was living a very happy life with her husband, Milo Blokland. Just at this point an aeroplane passed us and we recognized the driver to he Myrtle Black. Upon inquiry we learned that she was going back to her home in the city. We did not recognize the passenger with her but were told that it was Dorothy Krouse, who had won fame as a dancer and dancing teacher. On, on, we flew! The day was perfect and objects below us were easily dis- tinguished. Soon we were passing over Minnesota. Here there were many large grain fields, one we noticed in particular. We were told that it was owned by Howard Glenn, a rich man. whose wife (formerly Mildred Weeks,) was in the United States Senate. It was a lovely sensation .that of passing over the Great Lakes. Our attention was called to a large bright red ship, that had just recently been purchased by Mr. Bari Larson. We were told that he employed a large crew in order to carry on his immense trade. We were surprised to be familiar with the names of some of the crew, such as: Chester Garity, Clifford Blokland and Harold O’Connell. It was necessary to stop in Chicago as the plane needed some repairs and some of the passengers were going to stay there. My friend and 1 went to a hotel at once. Who should we meet in the lobby but Jean Chandler. She said she was the traveling saleslady for some firm in Buffalo and was just stopping in Chicago for a few days. To our surprise she informed us that her name was now Mrs. Smutz. She and her husband were not much together since he was at present tour- ing the United States as a prize fighter. She also told us that Floyde Smith was the business manager for Marshall and Fields in that city. As it was getting late, we went to register. At the desk we found Agnes Me Claren. She said that the house detective, Emerson Shrock, had found the position for her several years ago and she had been working there ever since. Then we took the elevator, as we were tired and anxious to rest a bit. The elevator man proved to be Donald Rohan. He recognized us before we did him. Our rooms hadn’t been «lusted so Donald said he would send some one up— the some one proved to be Bessis Backus, who was still the same quiet, sweet Bessie that we had known in school. After we had rested, we went out to a nearby res- taurant for dinner. Luck was with us for we were again among old friends. Jess George? was the proprietor, but as he was out of the city on business, his manager, George Garrick was in charge. We weren’t surprised to see Marion Howell seated at the piano entertaining the people as they ate. Ruth Keeney was our waitress. But our surprises had hardly begun, for as we were leaving we met Jeff Bean, the same old cut-up. He told us that he was editor of “Jokes” a well-known maga- zine of the day. From him we learned that Fern Kelly was in the city of a mission tour and that Glenn Metcalf had just completed his Art Gallery. We walked on down the street, gazing in all the shop windows. Suddenly we were confronted by a large sign in front of a millinery shop, with Hilda Blokland’s name on it. We went in but she was out to dinner although we learned that she had a larg$ business 30 among all the society people In Chicago. Evidently Chicago was the favored city of the L. H. S. students, for when we went to the Auditorium that evening Jane Harland was the soloist, accompanied by Bertha Berger on the pipe organ. They had been in Chicago a year but were planning on moving to New York to study. Mildred Mulholland gave a program of spectacular dancing, As we were leaving the field, we met Raymond Payton and Russell Price loaded down with luggago. They were just leaving in their plane for St. I ouis .v he re they were booked for a vaudeville stunt that evening. From them we learned that Ruth Wright and Fred Hart had just gone to France on their honeymoon. It was a delightful day, so after lunch we took a walk in the park. Here w- met Lillian Wilson. She told us that she was engaged by a rich family as governess and tutor for their child. She was on her way to an auditorium where Dorothy Kirby was giving a lecture on Woman’s Rights. We entered a confectionery shop where we met Dorothy Smutz. She was glad to see us. In our talk with her we learned that she had married a wealthy man of that city and that evening she was leaving for France where she was to visit two of her friends, Mildred Stoddard and Gladys Owen. Having met so many of our high school class our thoughts were turned toward school days. As we had considerable time to spend, we visited one or the high schools. To our amazement, Gladys Kilpack was the principal of this school and she told us that Blanche Whiting was at the head of the History department and Carrie Burbridge was the physical supervisor. From the school we started to our hotel, on the way stopping at a cafeteria, the manager of which was Roberta Lloyd. We had a pleasant talk with her as well as a very good dinner. After eating we returned to the hotel to make preparation for our trip home.

The school for which we stood and fought for long. We hesitate before we leave you still. And ponder o’er the pep of many a song. But we shall ne’er forget the lessons learned. Nor honest friends from which we now must part. Who gave us the companionship for which we yearned. And which we hold in reverence in our heart. The teachers, too, we will never forget, For they have helped us through this long career. But our long departure which we will regret, Will not decrease devotion for many a year. So fare thee well, old faithful Blue and White, We’ll cheer and boost for you with all our might. SENIOR PICNIC. T vas on a bright and sunny day. Far in the mountains high The Senior class did wend its way. To make all sorrows fly. T. C. was there, and Myrtle too, Mr. Campbell, Miss Nash, and Miss Rohrer Were teachers gay to see us thru. Snow brot us back when it was o’er. It was a jolly crowd I’ll say, A party ne’er to he forgot; I).. Raymond, and Bus all showed the way. And built a campfire hot.

Listen my schoolmates, and you shall hear Of the 24 Class in its Junior year. On the eleventh of September, twenty-two The pride of the high school, the chosen few Began their career of success and fame Which gave the Juniors their wonderful name. II. The Juniors impatient to strive and to win. Sent out a call for football men. Giants in strength, and Mercuries in speed Flocked from our class in athletics to lead. There were twelve won honors for L. H. S. While the girls were loyal, we must confess. III. Such hurry of footsteps, to the Junior play Has never been known for many a day. A flurry of skirts, a flicker of lights. Could they ever live thru it for two whole nights? Never such acting, never such fun Has ever been seen since the world’s begun. IV. It was four by the high school clock. When the Juniors met the Seniors in the mascot flock Oh, for a scuffle! Oh, for a fite! The Juniors fought with all their might. “Now for the banquet,” are the words we hear. We must work and plan, for the time is near. V. You know the rest, in school you have seen. How the Juniors thru progress, honor, and scheme Have reached the goal of success and fame. “Each for the other, and all for the Class,” Is the motto we chose. And we’ll tight to the last. 37 Garnet Bowery diu' Men (io Success Before it learns to walk A baby first must learn to crawl It always has to cry a lot Before it learns to talk. So do not be discouraged If humble is your start But do the very best you can And try with all your heart Be patient and be brave and true Have faith in your power to win Put your shoulder to the wheel of life And don’t forget to grin For where there’s will there’s sure a way Wake up! Go in and win. Evelyn Cullen Last night as I lay a dreaming A horrible dream came to me I saw Miss Rohrer (at her desk in room eight) Calling for poetry.

LINDGREN The good ship “Twenty-five” lifted her anchor and sailed out of Freshman Harbor, flying her flag of green and white. The officers consisted of Captain Ralph Webb and his executives, Commanders Robert Becker and Irma Lyman. The pilots, Bennett and Bowler, guided the gallant ship, helping to choose the better course among the rocks and shoals which lie in the straights of Algebra, English and His- tory. The green seas were rough and choppy as we passed through narrow straights and dangerous reefs. Many were frightened by huge monsters called “Quizzes.’’ There were famous athletes on board. Cecil Sherwood, who received one “L” in Toothall. was promoted to the rank of Ensign. After days of toiling through turbulent waters, the boat reached the calmer haven of Sophomore Port. The verdure was not so green but the atmosphere was more pleasing. After the ship was safely anchored in Port Sophomore with anchors, called credits, the officers and crew were granted three months leave of absence. A few deserted for the realms of Industry, Indifference and Matrimony- Others set sail under foreign flags. The rest of the faithful crew embarked on the second cruise. Their destination was Port Junior. Captain Webb, who had served us so well, again took command of the ship. His new executives were Commanders Lila Bean and Wilma Smith. Two new pilots, Hanna and Lindgren, were as faith- ful and efficient as their predecessors had been. To break the monotony of the voyage, the “25” met in friendly competition with the other ships of the L. H. S. fleet, staging Union Station maneuvers. The Athletes were still on board. Ensign Cecil Sherwood received another ”L” and was given the rank of Lieutenant. Bernard Hummelt received the same rank oT an “L” in football and basketball. Erma Lyman and Thelma Smith were promoted to the rank of Ensign when they received “L’s” in basketball. While marooned in the Tropical Calms of Spring Fever, the crew planned an evening of fun, frolic and feasting. Our flag-ship “Twenty-three” will soon sail into the harbor of Commencement, where each of her crew will receive his honorable discharge from the L. H. S. fleet. Twenty-five” will land in the Port of Junior Bay. The waters there are uuiet, hut they are reached only by passing reefs and dangerous points. The sur- vivors will prepare for a more difficult voyage. Although we sail on our own ship, it is only through co-operation that the L. H. S. Heet will be recognized by the other Powers of Eastern Oregon as a leader in Debate, Athletics and Scholarship. Ship-Writer—Inez Ebert 41 'oplunmm's We Sophomores this last short year.

There is no doubt that debating is the most practical form of English that a student takes. Debating began in January by class contests on the question. “Resolved that the United States government should own and operate the railroads. The team was chosen from the contestants. The affirmative was, Donald Rohan. Fonda Hanks; and the negative, Floyd Smith, Lucile Craig; with Dorothy Kirby, substitute. They de- bated in public assembly February the tenth. The dual debate was with Pendleton on February fifteenth. Both negative teams remained at the home town, where they debated against the visiting affirmative. The result was one to two for La Grande in both cases. 53 J£a ($raitfrc ifital) cluml The La Grande High School is perhaps the best institution of education in this part of the State. It is the ninth largest in the State. It teaches English. Mathematics, Foreign Languages, different Sciences, History, and Commercial sub- jects. It has one of the best equipped Domestic Art and Science departments in the State along with a hue Manual Training and Mechanical department. The aim in English is to get a working knowledge of our own language, which makes this probably the most practical and the most used of all subjects taught in High School. It is a tool by which we can conquer the most difficult problems. The Mathematic Department of this School is far superior to many other schools as it teaches a four year course while most of the others only provide for a two-year course. The aim of this department is to co-ordinate with the other de- partments of the School. It prepares a student for their other courses, (such as Science, Mechanical Arts and Manual Training), by making these courses easier and simpler. Mathematics is one of the important features in each one of these different subjects. The first two years of Science gives to the students a preparatory course for more advanced subjects. It teaches them the fundamentals of Science, gives to them a working knowledge and insight into later life, and arms them against the injurious things they will encounter on their road to success. The Junior High School although only started this year, has great possibilities, and undoubtedly will prove a great success. The primary idea is to bridge the gap between the grade school and the high school. It makes possible for a student failing in some eighth grade examination to start in high school and then go back to continue their other subject. This keeps many from quitting school because of discouragement by failure. SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS The Commercial Department aims to give the students a practical education so that they will be able to go immediately into the world and take up their line of business without the least bit of trouble. This department prepares the student with practical business ideas and as a result of this wonderful opportunity many young men and women make a success of their business when otherwise they would have failed. The Domestic Science Department gives the girls home economics that can be successfully osed at home and outside of their school work. The cafeteria which was successfully run all winter gives an idea of some of the wonderful results ob- tained from this department. In the Domestic Art department millinery w'as intro- duced this year for the first time and it has proven a great success. This line of work gives to the girls the fundamentals of sewing and dress making. The Manual Training Department has turned out a great deal of real fur- niture this year, as well as doing wood work along other lines. The Machine Department has also put out a great many useful projects. This department is divided so a student can take steel lathe, forge, mechanical drawing or gas engine under the same instructor. In mechanical drawing, wfork is done in geometric construction, cabinet pro- jection, perspective machine and some architectural drawing. The Gas Engine department works on cars that are brought in to be repaired. The shop is not used for the High School students alone, for the grade bovs come in once a week and one-half of them take wood work in one department while the other half take drawing in the other. 54 55 An (OlU' (La Jttt. 3c mill) Here ne th her mjghty brow we dwell.

How often on a bright summer or spring day, When we look at her beaming face from The valley below. We imagine we can see the reflection. As if in a mirror, of the lives of her Industrious children, at work and at play. Never a day passes by but which she sees Some kind deed enacted, or some unkind act Committed.

ISLAND CITY FLOURING MILL SCENE FROM COUNTRY CLUB OLD PIONEER HOME NICK BOYVLEY PLACE SCENE FROM HIGHWAY lUuc JlUmntciins Our mountains are of azure I 1 ue in evening’s sunset glow. But in the winter they are covered deep with snow. They are forested, with trees both big and small. Some of them just saplings, others are so tall Beaching to the heavens up in the air so clear. That they might bring the azure of the skies so near. J. D. Rohan THE BLUE MOUNTAINS AROUND LA GRANDE The Grande Ronde Valley, surrounded on all sides by the Blue Mountains, is about three thousant feet above sea level. In some places the Blue Mountains rise thousands of feet above the level of the valley. They get their name, “The Blue Mountains”, from the blue haze which seems to shroud them in a wonderful blue cloak. This color blended with the green of the trees and with the snow-capped peaks, makes the Grande Ronde Valley known as having beautiful scenery with re- markable variations of color. The mountains are covered with trees, foliage, underbrush, a variet.y of plants and flowers, which are blended together with a back ground of high cliffs and peaks and the blue sky. In the winter the hills are covered with many feet of snow, and all through the long summer months many of the high peaks retain their caps of snow. Some of the most interesting places and scenery are the high mountain peaks. Mount Emily, at the extreme north of the Valley, and one of the highest, was named after the first baby girl born in the valley. On the top there is an observation tower from which the entire valley can be distinctly seen. Mount Fanny, another peak near the northeastern part of the Valley, is about the same height as Mount Emily. The mountains which surround the Valley are very rugged with numerous sharp peaks and high cliffs. The trees grow more on top of the hills although in some places the foothills are thickly covered. About five miles back in the hills, just south-west of the Valley, there lies a large artificial lake which is known as Morgan Lake. This lake was built by a company of men of La Grande for the purpose of getting power for a large electric plant. This proved a failure but the lake now makes one of the chief points of interest to the tourist, and travelers. The water is a deep blue in color, surrounded by large boulders, trees, and a dense underbrush. Although there are few fish in the lake it is not used extensively for fishing. In the winter it freezes over but does not make a good skating place for the reason that the winds cover it with drifting snow. A trail goes over the hill this side of Mill Canyon and is the shortest way to the lake. The Devil’s Slide, the Old Oregon Trail, and the passes through which the railroad tracks and the highways go are also places of unusual interest. The Devil’s Slide is a steep trail covered with fine rocks down the side of Rooster Peak. It is very long and steep, and it is in plain view from the railroad tracks. The Old Oregon Trail is also of historical interest as it comes through La Grande and also passes through several other States. At the mouth of Mill Canyon there is a monument showing where the Old Oregon Trail went. The railroad track winds around the canyon going west. The highway also goes that way and the scenery that can be seen from either of them is very beautiful. The mountains around the Grande Ronde Valley afford some of the best sports and forms of amusement for the people of the valley as could be wished for. In the winter, when the snow is deep, there are many hills and slopes on which to skii. 58 As the canyons and roads form some very fine coasting places, they are highly pat- ronized by the children and even the grown people. On Saturdays and Sundays these places are covered with people who are enjoying themselves over the week-end. The mountains are of great value to the valley and the surrounding country, as the slopes and canyons are filled with valuable trees and timber. The trees and timber have made La Grande what it is to-day because large business enterprises have been built up by the lumber mills. On the mountain slopes is some of the best farming land in the valley, hundreds of acres is covered with crops in the summer time. This is new land and is so close to the timber line that it does not dry out. For this reason this land is very fertile and the largest crops of the valley are raised here. Although the wind sweeps over much of this section, the Valley is somewhat protected on account of the high mountains which form a natural windbreak. La Grande, situated close to the foot of these hills, escapes the winds which blow over the town instead of through it. The rain fall of the Valley is also heavier than in other places where the mountains are not so high or where there are none at all. Laurence Trill LA GRANDE Twas in the year 1880, I quess, by gum.

He had just hidden when came a sound like thunder— It was the Indians after human plunder. They took the old man and cut out his heart. All the time the Indians and stage coach drew farther apart. At last Joe came in sight of the city; My! I’ll bet you it sure looked pretty. The Baptist church, the school house near The old University to many hearts dear. But times have changed from what used to be No more in La Grande do Indians massacre. J. Donald Rohan 59 iliot Hake On looking hack over the old, well trodden wagon and hack road that has now been replaced by the macadam roads, we might let our gaze wander to the present site of the Hot Lake Sanitarium, where people of almost every walk of life and of every section of the country, gather to bathe in the healing waters of the hot springs, and to receive the attention of one of the greatest of western doctors. Just about thirty years ago, these springs were valued, not as a healing potent, but as a curiosity. The first buildings to surround the springs were log cabins, which were a sort of half-way post between Union and La Grande. The first resi- dent run a sort of a restaurant and a tavern. It was about this time that Dr. Phy, a native son of the Grande Ronde Valley, who had become a doctor, discovered the wonderful possibilities of the springs. It was here that he built the first few buildings that as yet stand and are a part of the present day sanitorium. The buildings served as a hospital and a medical research laboratory. But, like every thing else, the first sanitorium had its rise and fall in commercial value. It soon became a thing of the past, as far as Dr. Phy was concerned. Another young doctor, thinking to make a success of the sanitorium. tried to establish a name and a reputation for the Hot Lakes. It again failed and was sold on account of the bankruptcy of the owner. It then fell into the hands of the O. W. R. N. Co., for a small sum of money, just enough to pay the bankruptcy. They sent for Dr. Phy. who was practicing in Spokane, Washington, to come and run the Sanitorium. On his return, the Doctor and the owners issued shares to finance the construction of some additions on the old buildings. The big brick addition was made possible by the sale of shares of stock to several parties over the State. Dr. Phy decided to purchase a high priced dairy herd and thus have his own milk supply. This herd consisted of the best of high test Holsteins purchasable on the market. To this he added his beef herd, thus again reducing the cost or operation. The gardens, which are most generally run by a Chinese gardener, gave an abundant supply of vegetables. This was again a great source for reducing the cost of operation. The high price of feed for his herds caused hin. to purchase a tract of land in the vicinity of the Sanitorium; this of course, took several men, two tractors, and sometimes several teams of horses, but it all yielded its profits in return. The possibilities of a good young chicken brooder being developed and run by the hot water from a neighboring spring to the one at the sanitorium caused the purchase of the land and the installation of a modern brooder for young chicks. The poultry farm is of the latest and modern developments in every way possible The eggs that are now produced are enough for the sanitorium and for sale The eggs, cheese and butter sell for the highest of prices on the market, under the brand of “Phymere Products.” I he most remarkable water supply system is in use at the Hot Lakes. The lead of the spring is in a tunnel, three hundred and fifty feet back in the mountain. Prom here the water is taken up by a large pipe and carried to a large cistern or reservoir near the sanitorium. A set of compression pumps, one of which is kept umning constantly, takes the water from the cistern and forces it upon the hill at «hlrhe| .h about eight hundred forty feet. Prom the cistern on the hill the rrt„ nieo , and a °Ver the sanitorium. thus giving the needed pres- sure to put the water anywhere about the buildings. 60 Fred Hart iniinstrtra of tlie (SranJio iRumV Halley Until the end of the nineteenth century there had always been a frontier to attract the venturesome and provide free land for those dissatisfied with the working conditions in the Hast. This frontier is swiftly vanishing, and the influ- ence which it has exercised upon our economic life is being removed. La Grande was once a frontier with all the hardships which accompany il. So let us go back for a time to our first industries. When the people of the frontier days first came to this valley it was no easy matter to make a living. Some came to farm or raise cattle and sheep, while others came to secure the valuable furs from the animals which were abundant in the valley. The first few years farmers hardly grew enough grain to carry them through the winter and furnish a little seed for the next planting. All cattle, horses and sheep could not be brought overland but the greater part were shipped by boat to the Columbia river where they were then brought by land to their destination. Small herds of cattle and sheep developed into large bands roaming over the hills and the valley then covered with excellent bunch grass. As La Grande became more thickly populated, there was a natural demand for lumber. This industry was started by a small sawmill built at Oro Dell. Its output soon became too small; larger mills were erected, which finally resulted in the Palmer Lumber Company, one of the largest industries of the northwest. Logs for this mill are brought in by railroad from the logging camps erected in the thick forests which surround the valley. When the logs reach the mill, they are dumped into the pond, later taken to the sawmill and cut into lumber. The lumber is then moved to the yards to dry. After this process it is sent to the planer to be planed. It is then ready for shipment. The lumber industries of La Grande have the second largest pay roll in Oregon. Our industries have improved very much since the coming of the railroad in 1885. La Grande was selected as a good railroad division, shops were built which have been enlarged from year to year. These shops now give employment to hun- dreds of people. It luis one of the largest payrolls in the City. Next to take it s place among the industries was the La Grande Flour Mills. As the production of grain began to increase, the need for this mill was seen. It was built just outside of the town, so that the farmers would have easy access with their produce, and also on the railroad where the grain can be shipped more readily to other localities. Shortly after the coming of the railroad, telephone and electric power com- panies came into being. They have probably done more toward the development f our industries than any other projects. An electric power house was built at Oro Doll which furnished La Grande with its first lights. This plant was later torn down and another was erected in Mill Canyon, south of La Grande. It is run by water piped from Morgan Lake «and supplies electricity for the entire city and also neighboring towns in the valley. Among the first industries of the valley that is worthy of mention is the sugar beet raising. But this industry 1ms died out owing to the high cost of labor and shipping. The soil also gave out because of the heavy cultivation and produc- tion. Large farms were devoted entirely to raising beets. One farm in particular was known as the “Sugar Beet Ranch” because at one time its entire crop was ■sugar beets. It is located near Hot Lake and covers several hundred acres of the best land in the valley. At that time there was also a large sugar factory located northeast of La Grande. It had once a very thriving business, but after the decline 61 of sugar beet raising, its machinery was taken to Idaho. There are several smaller industries, one of which is meat packing. La Grande being a central City makes it a good location for this business. The packing of meat was first started in a small meat market. But the demand for its products has grown until the building of a larger plant was necessary to handle the trade. n building is modern in every way and is one of the largest of its kind in Oregon. Another industry is that of fruit raising, principally apples. Today the industries of the valley are not agricultural as in the early days. They have advanced to the manufacturing stage and are of a wide scope and great variety. Glenn A. Metcalf THE GOOD OLD DAYS In the days of 61, When the Civil War ’d begun. People started for the West, Homes and gold they sought in quest. Some into the Grande Honde came. Here or there ’twas all the same. For war they had no love for it And to the West they fain would get Into the valley of the Grande Ronde, Where guarding it Mt. Emily’s found. Came immigrants in oxen teams And camped them by the roaring streams. On the top of Mt. Emily stood an Indian brave. Who saw in the white and endless wave Of enemies, who would take their land And oust them, you bet! The whole darned band. Now in the night so stealthy. For he saw' to stay twasn’t healthy. Chief Paku led his warriors bold Out of the valley in the night ’tis told. On came the settlers, many were they. Into the valley their homes to lay. Peaceful and quiet their lives remain. Nothing exciting did happen in main. Till long about in the year ’79, Their peace ’twas bombed like an exploded mine. For rumors were spread like butter on bread How the Bannocks were coming by Chief Paku led. Were going to oust the whites from their homes As they did the Indians and made them roam. So they did take refuge in very much fear In the old University which is no longer here. With much disappointment the night passed away For the Bannocks they came not at break of day. Then home to their work they all did go. The lamenting they did. it wasn’t slow. But, sad to say. them days “have went’’; In place of oxen, science has sent Airplanes, and autos, and radio phones. Fountain pens, railroads, and telephones. Mildred Stoddard 62 ZUi' (Olb (Oregon XLratl The Oregon country had been discovered by Drake. Captain Cook. Robert Gray, Vancouver and Lewis and Clarke before the nineteenth century. In eighteen eleven, John Jacob Astor established a fur-trading post at Astoria in order to trade with the Indians. In eighteen thirty-six, Whitman, a friend and their two young wives crossed the Rocky Mountains and established a mission in the Columbia Valley. One had already been established in the Willamette Valley by Marquis Whitman, and a man by the name of Ezra Meeker had established the road or trail which was later to become the road of the later immigrants. Regular settlements by home builders began in eighteen forty-four. Many were seeking gold, many homes, others territory, still others adventure and many came in order that Oregon should be settled by more Colonial people than people from England, as Oregon at this time was under joint ownership of England and the United States, the one having the most settlers would gain the land. This was later settled by a joint agreement between England and the United States in which England gave the United States the Oregon Country or County. The pioneers set out from St. Louis on a bright spring morning. They were not only from Missouri but from all parts of the Eastern Colonies and States. Large and small families were loaded into large, white covered prairie schooners drawn by sturdy oxen. The general appearance of all the schooners was similar. It consisted of the driver and his wife and children in the front seat. The men were in blue overalls and heavy homespun shirts, with large, floppy brimmed hats. The women and children wore stiffly starched homespun dresses and bonnets. Behind them was the household bedding, a tin camp stove, chairs, a baby’s go-cart, a spinning wheel, wool, kitchen utensils, a plow, some carpet and the clothing. Beneath the wagon body swung a pail and lantern. A water barrel and an axe were lashed to the side of the wagon. The pioneers travelled together for protection and as they followed closelv behind the other, they represented a long train of moving white specks against the azure horizon. There is one family among this group whom we shall follow across the plains, as they are more closely connected with our part of the world. Their life as pioneers is characteristic of all. They have started to California for gold. They have five children, yet the woman is beautiful at a mature age. For days they travelled through cities of the East along the Mississippi River till they came down to the Missouri River. This they followed until they reached the Platte River which they also kept in sight, going through level plains of grass, forests, over mountains and over vast stretches of desert. At Fort Leaven- worth the whole train stopped for ammunition and provisions, and again at Laramie a stop was made for provisions. Everything was kept at these two forts as they were established trading posts with the Indians. So far they had not been attacked by the Indians, and traveling had not been bad. After resting for some time at Laramie they were again upon the way with quite a few more wagons added to the train. Every night while upon the way. they drove their wagons up close beside one another forming a circle in which the people and oftentimes the oxen remained during the night, in order that the Indians could not reach them so easily. et many a night they had been serenaded by the Indians and on other nights they were serenaded by the prairie wolves and coyotes. Still, many of the immigrants suffered the loss of their oxen, because they did not have room within the circle. The oxen were turned loose with a night watchman over them, whose duty it was to keep 63 the oxen from straying from camp and to awaken the people when danger came near or when anything happened. On the way they passed a little mound with the following roughly burned on a board with a hot iron: “Mary Ellis, Aged two months. Such mounds were of common occurrence and the little lady whom we are following, always cried and prayed that her children would be with her. Poor lady, she did not know what was in store for her as they traveled this unfrequented Oregon Trail. One morning after rising, the youngest child became sick and after they reached the North Platte River, the little one became so sick that it was neces- sary to stop for a few days. She soon passed to the beautiful beyond and the bereaved parents left their dear one buried near the roaring waters of the North Platte River and continued their journey. We notice that the pioneers always kept as close to the river as possible. There are several reasons for this. The rivers afforded wood to cook with, food for their oxen, water for the people and oxen, shelter among the trees from the strong winds or the intense heat. Furthermore they followed the trail that had been made by the earlier immigrants. The trail then led them across Idaho along the Snake River and on into the Oregon country, where they came to the mouth of the Grande Ronde River. Follow- ing along the Grande Ronde River they reached the Blue Mountains and crossed over into the Grande Ronde Valley. Here the oldest boy of our pioneer family con- tracted typhoid fever and became very ill, but they made a bed in the back of the wagon and pushed onward. The train of wagons had not yet reached the other side of the valley when the boy grew worse and soon joined his little sister. They had pulled off from the Oregon Trail about four miles at the foot of a big mountain. A few days the other wagons waited for them, but they at last became impatient to be upon their way. The bereaved mother told them to go on, that she was going to remain beside her eldest son’s grave. The family decided to build a home upon the spot where they had camped when their son died, at the foot of what is now Mt. Emily. Their companions wished them good luck and continued upon their way to California. Only one other wagon remained in the Grande Ronde Valley with them. There were several other houses built along the Oregon Trail in Old Town but these two houses were among the first to be built in the country, or out in the valley in the tall rye grass then covering the Grande Ronde Valley. Leaving the Grande Ronde Valley, the pioneers crossed over the Blue Mountains and came to the mouth of the Columbia river. After going down the Columbia river some time, they all scattered and took their pieces of land under the homestead act. The little family that we left in the Grande Ronde Valley had the pleasure of seeing La Grande grow into a city as it is at present: of seeing the railroad cross the valley; of owning a car and of traveling over some of the Old Oregon Trail that has been made into a very beautiful highway along the Snake and Columbia Rivers. The Oregon Trail, in many places, is only a well worn wagon trail that has been fenced up in some places. In others it has become a very interesting and a very beautiful highway. In the Grande Ronde Valley, the 01,1 Oregon Trail is only a wagon track, coming out of Deal and Mill Canyons, passing south of La Grande, tirough what is called 01,1 Town, and extending along the foot of the Blue Mountains The 01,1 Oregon Trail is distinguished in Old Town by a monument stating that the Oregon Trail passes along there, and the name of the first man who went through on the Oiegon Trail, also the date when he went through La Grande. Ruth Keeney 64 jJJtoiteers of (Our Uallcy Pioneers came to this valley for a number of reasons The government offered sections of land to those who would come here and settle. Some came just for the love of adventure in crossing the plains. The discovery of gold caused a great many people to move toward California. Some of whom never reached their destination, as their teams gave out. The pioneers started out in wagon train drawn by oxen. They selected one member of these groups as captain to be responsible for all moves made. They all helped to make the roads and build the bridges coming to this valley. At night they would make a circle of their wagons. The people and cattle remained inside the circle. Guards were placed outside of the wagons to keep watch for Indians. The captain had to think of the safety of his band in crossing streams so that the Indians would not attack them while they were divided. Instead of making bridges across all the rivers they made boats of their wagon beds. Sometimes they would use poles to push the wagon beds across, at other times some of the men would swim across with a rope and they would pull the wagon beds back and forth till the entire train and their belongings were all safely over. The stock would be forced to swim. The oxen after traveling so far became footsore and had to be shod. On the days that the men used for shoeing, the women would do their washing. In making their trips from day to day they had to plan on taking enough water to last the next day for they could not be sure of finding water all along the way. Scouts were sent ahead of the train to watch for Indians and to find a camping place for the next night. In climbing the steep hills, the women and children would walk so as to lighten the load for the oxen. In case a man lost one of his oxen he would be forced to make a cart of his wagon, load in what goods he could haul, and leave the rest of his wagon and goods by the way If he was fortunate enough to have a milk cow along he would yoke her with the remaining oxen and drive them the rest of the way. If not, the men would pull with the oxen on the steep hills. Due to these hardships, it took from four months to three to make the trip which today takes a few days. The first permanent settlement was made by a French Catholic named John Pridmore at Oro Dell. He was at this location raising vegetables when the pioneers of 1862 came here. He built a saw mill near the site where the old brick jail at Oro Dell now stands. He owned several farms in the valley, that part of La Grande known as the Pridmore addition, at one time belonged to him. He was one hundred ten years old at the time of his death. He is said to have been the oldest man in the Grande Rande Valley. We are told by the pioneers that the valley was covered with a tall rye and bunch grass which was later gathered for hay. Others say they thought it was just a deep hole in which one could see nothing but mountains in whatever direction they looked. At first they did not have time to build homes for they were out of supplies and money. For this reason the men began freighting from The Dalles or Umatilla Landing to the mines in Idaho. They received one-half of ill they hauled. The women and children were left here in the valley with sometimes no more than a tent made of two sheets. Their food was very scarce and they were forced to eat wild berries, game, etc. All were hungry for garden stuffs or something green so that the women made greens of the thistles that grew here. They had no meat 65 to cook them with so used meat rinds which had been saved to make soap and thought they had a real treat. In some instances they used their tallow candles to make gravy to feed the children. The first individual house of the valley was built by Mr. Ben Brown. He erected a double log house paying twelve and a half cents a foot for what lumber entered into its construction. It is therefore seen that to Mrs. Frances Brown belongs the honor, not alone of having been the first lady settler in the valley but the matron of its first home. The only money in the colony was such as could be derived from the sale of agency warrants. These were hard to dispose of at sixty five cents on the dollar. They finally found sale for them at Walla Walla in goods and provisions. On April 6th, 1861, Mr. Brown plowed the first sod ever turned in the Grande Ronde Valley. The people of Grande Ronde Valley had very little trouble with the Indians, as this land was not claimed as the home of any tribe but was considered as neutral ground. It was visited annually during the summer months by hunting and fishing parties of various tribes. Mr. George B. Currey related the story of what he believes to be the first sermon ever preached in this valley. He was with an immigrant train crossing the valley in 1853 and the company had just gone into camp one Saturday night. Sunday there came into a camp a man and his wife, the man a stalwart six-footer, walking, while his wife sat in the wagon and drove. The man proved to be the Rev. Mr. Morrison, a Universalist preacher� . After attending to his horse and making himself at home he announced that he would preach and gathering the small company around him he proceeded to do so in a manner at once effective and interesting. Up until the middle sixties all the mail that came into this section of the State was carried from Walla Walla by “Old Shep” and his predecessors. This faith- ful postman and expressman made trips monthly with a saddle and pack horse charging fifty cents for each letter and paper delivered. However, “Shep’s express was too slow and infrequent to suit the needs of a growing country and was In time succeeded by the stage coach established by John Hailey. In honor of the old pioneers of Union County there is annually held a meeting called “Pioneer Day.” The first one was held on the twenty-fourth of May, 1890, at Union. These picnics now take place at Riverside Park in La Grande. The old pioneers are gradually thinning out and not many years hence the entire burden of the meetings will be carried on by sons and daughters of the old pioneers.

The ducks are wanting to light for their evening rest, but their home is in another’s keeping. A canoe with two occupants, one a tall, stalwart, bronzed Indian warrior, the other a beautiful Indian maiden. The warrior is slowly paddling to a small bunch of trees on the eastern side of the lake, where in the distance one may see the many camp fires of the Indian camp. This was the Morgan Lake of our grandfathers. D. R. Or)rani pa's Sturt) Let us enter the little cabin lying there in the gulch with the smoke curling up from the chimney and the light streaming through the windows. On entering, we will see seated by the rock lire place a man bent of form. His heard as well as his hair is white hut his eyes still sparkle with the fire of youth. As he gazes into the fire we wonder what he is thinking about, and as we listen we hear a voice. We creep closer in order to hear better. When we look over the back of the big chair which he is sitting in, we see he is holding to his arms a little boy of about four or five years of age. “Please, grandpap. tell me another story,” the child begs. “Another story? Well, what shall it be?” “O, one about the Indians.” “Well, let’s see. Shall I tell you about the hast Indian fight we had here?” “Uhuh.” the boy answered, cuddling up closer to his grandfather. The pioneer looked into the glowing embers of the fire for a time. His features took on an indefinable something which we often see on the countenances of those who have braved the perils and hardships of a pioneer life. “Ain’t cha gain’ to tell it?” the child asked, becoming restless with the long continued silence� . “Yes. Bobby. Jest you hold yer horses. Well, there had been rumors of an Indian uprising which had floated over the mountains to us from different sources. So fer days and days the whole valley had been held in suspense. People had pack- ed up their bundles ready at the first warning to seek refuge in the old Blue Mountain University. “Coggins, Foster, and Bunker had left a few days before and no word had been received from them at all. Two freighters. McCoy and Meirs stayed for awhile as no one was allowed to leave the town. But finally they started out in the night. The next day news reached us that McCoy and Meirs had been slaughtered by the hostile Bannocks and all their goods taken. Coggins had been killed. Bunker wounded, but Foster had escaped� “After spending several days in anxiety the people laughed at their fears and the U. S. troopers who had been stationed here started back over the mountains. But they had only gone as far as Meacham when they received word that the In- dians were headed for La Grande. So they turned around and galloped back. “At each bush they came to and each rock they passed, they imagined a painted Bannock was hidden there. With such fears they approached Oro Dell which consisted of a store, a grist mill, a lumber mill, a saloon, a good many houses and a boarding house. “In the meantime in the valley we heard that the regiment was racing back with the Bannocks close upon their heels. “About three o’clock in the afternoon a great cloud of dust was seen over Fox hill. Such a rush as there was to the University. “ ‘The Indians are coming’, was the cry everywhere. “Out over the valley, as seen from our temporary stockade in the University, could be seen fast moving clouds of dust indicative of the mad dashes of the settlers for th refuge afforded by that structure. “All night we waited, not daring to sleep if we could have done so amidst the noise and uproar of that assemblage. Children giving the war whoop of the Bannocks which they had heard that day: occasional cries of ‘Look, they are fighting , as some one looked from the window and imagined he discerned figures 67 in the light of the soldiers campfire. “Yells were heard from that direction and intermittent shots; but when dawn gradually approached nothing had happened yet. As the sun peeped over Mt. Fanny, a messenger arrived telling us of the death of the Chief of the Bannocks by a treach- erous Umatilla who had joined them in order to seek revenge. The leaderless tribe had given up the struggle, with the parting salutation of a few harmless shots from the troopers, they went back into the mountains. “So with disappointed grumblings from the children and looks of disappoint- ment on the faces of the older, all wound their way home from a sleepless night of anxiety- for nothing.” His voice fell silent. The child in his arms stirred a trifle. The old man looked down at his grandchild and saw that the sand-man had come during his account of the Indian fight. He smiled and stroked the yellow curls tumbled over his arm. Let us creep out as silently as we came in. leaving the pioneer with his reminiscences, and the child with his dreams. Mildred Stoddard THE MEADOW LARK One morning while working, I heard so fair The song of the meadow lark, high in the air. He was sitting atop of one of our trees. Swaying so gently with the sweet scented breeze. The buds on the trees were bursting. Twas spring. J. I . R. INDIAN SUMMER Oh the cornfields, and the wheat. Oh the tall wheat, and the corn It’s wavin’ in the breezes Sorto misty in the morn.

The tirst part of the year was spent in study of the plays of different countries. Various stages of growth of the drama in the Orient and on the European continent were taken up. Some work in writing original plays was done. During good English week, groups of underclassmen under the direction of members of the Dramatic class, put on plays at the grade school assemblies, illustrating the value of proper English. Since the tendency of the modern drama is toward the one-act play, some time was spent in study of some of the best known one-act plays. The following plays were studied: Wurzel-Flummery”, “A Welsh Honeymoon,” ‘‘Maker of Dreams” Gettysburg,” Lima Beans,” and The Wonder Hat.” Two plays, Spreading the News,” and Mrs. Pat and the Law” were put on for the student body assembly. At the beginning of the second semester, practical helps on the make-up were given to the class. Not only were notes taken but the members were made up to represent character parts. No course would be complete without a study of the Shakesperian play, so that the Inst part of the year is being spent in working up the comedy As You Like It.” As a whole, the course has been a very beneficial one because the students not only rehearsed plays but have made reports on plays read outside. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club presented to the Student Body a clever skit in the form of a musical stunt to show more clearly what the Glee Club has accomplished.

Roy Williams BE A BOOSTER It means a lot to be a booster in life. “If you can’t be a piece on top of the hill, be a scrub in the alley, but be. the best little scrub. If you can’t be a sun, be a star, but be the best booster wherever you are.” We get as much out of life as we put into it. He who boosts seems to get more; perhaps not materially, but in the satisfaction of knowing that he has applied himself well. The good comes back to him in the exulting sense of doing. In school we boosL That is what we do when we give our yells, when we go out and tell of the things that work toward a successful school term, when we sup- port the various activities. It is just this boosting that has made our school activities so successful in the past year. CO-OPERATION La Grande High School has met with success in all it has undertaken this year. Nothing has failed. Why this phenomenal success? Because of Co-operation. The operetta, the Junior play, the Senior play, were all successful because the en- tire Student Body boosted and co-operated in “putting them over.” The same in our athletics—all because of concentrated co-operation. No one strove for personal distinction, but rather, it was the entire support of each individual in the common cause. Co-operation is similar to a vast, well-oiled piece of machinery which in action works for the one desired end and accomplishes it! To the Juniors to the entire Student Body we wish to point out this lesson of co-operation. Without it you fail in everything! Let us strive to keep this splen- did spirit in our school—DO NOT LKT IT DIB! Carry it on into Life it means success there. The name Mimir is given to our Annual because long ago there was a giant so named. As he was wise in knowledge of past and future, so the book records events of the past and glimpses of the future. The staff has tried to represent the phases of school life, set in a background of the community. The school is but a part of the surrounding community—the very heart of the region. It is the culmination of the past, and points surely to the futuro. Our life lesson has been the pass word whereby we may gain admittance to a successful future. We have learned it in all our activities—it is given to you again by the wise old Mimir it is called CO-OPERATION. 77 lip (Or iUnun Some one has said: “If you start a wagon down hill it goes by itself, but if you want it to go up hill you have to keep a pushin an a pullin’.” And it is the same with our business. What is our business? Our school and everything it stands for. It’s hard to get in a game if a person does not jump in at his first opportunity. It’s hard to try and keep up if one starts down first. Surely it is hard to catch the wagon if it’s started down hill first; it’s harder to decide to pull after we’ve let it start down. Let’s take advice from experience and pull up. At the bottom we find those who “can’t pull” and lure others into their crowd because of their weakness� . At the top we find those who need help to do the big things and to keep their ideals living. Our school is only a slight slope that precedes the other hills, but if we don't reach the top of it, how are we going to pass it to climb the rest? If we have the strength, the ability, the power, to remember that strength is reinforced by exercise, power is strengthened and ability developed only by use. And if one has extra strength in pulling up the hill, would not a helping hand to some weaker plodder keep him from slipping against his will? Holmes has said: “If your name is to live at all, it is much more to have it live in people’s hearts than only in their minds.” Let us think these things over. Are not these lines also worth remembering? “Downward the path of life? Oh, no! Up, up with patient steps I go. I watch the skies fast brightening there, I breathe a sweeter, purer air.” The golden rule is not passive, it is initiative. Let us transpose it and make a new rule, a golden rule, too, if you please. “Do for others who do for you.” This refers to our advertisers. They pay us gold or its equivalent, when we have gold to spend, let us see that it goes to them. The Mimir is the result of our best effort. From staff to Freshmen, we have its interest at heart. We give it our best thought, thus it is a mirror by which the printed page reflects our school endeavor. It is due to the advertisers whose support makes the publication possible that we reciprocate. Fair exchange is the basis of honest business. We should apply our modified “Golden Rule” to our advertisers� . —Hxrhmtgrs— MILDRED WEEKS.

Student Body tickets were the means of admission and the School Board acted ps patrons and patronesses. Dance programs were given out and dancing started at eight-thirty. Punch was served by some of the Freshman girls and a delightful even- ing ended at eleven thirty. A. G. S. CHRISTMAS PARTY The A. G. S. Christmas Party was a great success this year. The girls extended a hearty Invitation to the boys and the faculty, which was accepted. At eight o’clock everyone gathered in the auditorium. The program consisted of a piano sok) and a vocal solo followed by a one-act play. After the program we went to the gymnasium which was prettily decorated with holiday colors and a large Christmas tree. The character of Santa Claus was well portrayed by Jess Bean who gave out several presents and stockings filled with candy to every one present. Games were played and later in the evening ice cream cones were give 1 out from the booth. We departed for our homes about 10 o’clock, the boys giving three cheers for the girls. SENIOR PLAY “Play Practice To-night” didn’t always mean just several hours of tiresome rehearsal for the Senior play cast this year, for several evenings of practice with a “feed” at some of their homes after which an hour or two was spent in some enjoyable way. However, as a finale to all this, on Monday morning following the play, an invitation was received from Mrs. Glenn inviting the play cast and coaches to dinner the following night. We motored out in a delightful snow storm, to a most delicious turkey dinner. After dinner the evening was spent in dancing and playing games. We started homeward about eleven thirty, it being unanimously agreed that it was the end of a perfect evening. FOOTBALL BANQUET At the close of the football season a banquet followed by a dance was given at the Country Club for all the Football men by the coach. The letter men and their partners were invited to the banquet at which they were presented minature silver footballs. All the boys that had gone out for football were invited to come later in the evening with their partners for the dance. A very pleasant evening was spent at the end of which delicious refreshments were served. BASKET BALL BANQUET The Basket Ball team and their lady friends attended a banquet at the Country Club. March twenty-second. Toasts were given by the members of the team and also members of the faculty. Joe Reynolds presided as toast-master.

After the banquet all boys that had gone out for basketball at the first of the year were invited to the dance with their lady friends. Punch was served and every one had the “best time ever” until twelve o’clock, when they all bade “Skeet” good night and thanked him for the good time. 80 STUDENT BODY DANCE The second Student Body Dance was given March sixteenth at eight-thirty in the gymnasium. Quite a large crowd turned out. The Alumni were invited but very few took advantage or the invitation. Punch was served during the evening which, I must say, was greatly enjoyed, especially by a few??? Like all nice things, this party had to end and at eleven-thirty, everyone left appreciative of the good time and looking forward to the next one. JUNIOR PARTY The members of the Senior class were the guests of the Junior class on the evening of March 30th- The evening was spent in dancing. The music was fine! The punch was good!!

This has contributed to many of the High School and outside entertain- merits, to the delight and pleasure of all. 84 O trls’ (Slec Club The girls have been successful in the music department, under the direction of Miss Frederike Schilke, They possess great talent. The girls presented various stunts in the line of music which Illustrated the kind of work which they were doing. 85 lUiys’ dice (Club The Boys' Glee Club has proven very successful under the skillful direction of Miss Frederike Schilke.

Both Glee Clubs took part in the chorus work which added very much to the success of the play. Miss Schilke, musical and libretto director, de- serves a great deal of credit for the suc- cess and ease with which the splendid operetta was presented. 3f not ha 11 During the first week of school, the call of ‘‘All men in school out for football practice” was sounded by “Skeet” Reynolds, coach of athletics. There was not enough suits to outfit all the boys who went out for practice, but suits for three teams were on hand. Our team made a wonderful debut into the football world by defeating ladder's team by a 58-0 score. The Alumni next fell before our mighty warriors, and sad but k.rue, the score ended 21-6. Elgin was thought to be 1922 champions of Eastern Oregon in football, but the L H. S. team pushed them off the football map when they de- feated them by a 23-0 score on the Elgin grounds. The only defeat of the season was handed to the Blue and White squad at Pendleton on the Round-Up grounds. After 60 minutes of hard fighting the La Grande team was on the short end of a 25-7 score. This defeat only helped to make the team work harder and when they met the Baker High squad on Armistice Day the revenge for the Pendleton defeat was taken out on Baker. L. H. S. was the victorious team by a decisive score. 72-0. Only three more games remained to be played before the close of the season and the Blue and White team made them all count toward the Eastern Oregon championship. Union was defeated by a 52-6 score: Wallowa, our next opponents fell to the tune of 72-0. Thanksgiving found the L. H. S. warriors at Enterprise, where on a field covered with snow, the La Grande team defeated the E. H. S. warriors 45-0. The Eastern Oregon Championship was awarded to La Grande High School. Athena tried to claim the title but they were not successful. The 1922 football season was the most successful one that L. H. S. has had since 1919. Too much credit cannot be given Joe (Skeet) Reynolds whose efforts enabled La Grande High School to win the Eastern Oregon championship title. Much credit is also due the first and second team who practiced diligently every night for months as hard training was necessary' to make the strong team. The entire Student Body is proud of the victory of those men who made the teams. In selecting the Eastern Oregon All-Star team, seven of the La Grande squad were named as being capable of filling positions on that team.

At the beginning of the season most of the team were new but wltth hard work and the right kind of spirit the basket ball season was a success. When the season was hardly started, the basketball team suffered the loss of their coach. Mr. Snow took the boys in hand, and, with the support of the student body and the earnest efforts and training of the team, the La Grande High School closed the season with much credit due their team. The La Grande High School is proud of its basketball team with a record of 16 wins and 5 losses, which is an unusual record in athletics. It is the first time in two years that the Blue and White has had a chance to go to the State Basket Ball Tournament at Salem but in the Post-season game played at Enterprise, between Joseph and La Grande, Joseph was victorious and La Grande lost their chance to represent the Blue and White in the State contests. Much credit is due the “second-string” men who reported for practice regular- ly after the selection of the first team. The second team played three games with outside tow'ns. The games of the seaon were played in the following order: Union 12 at La Grande. Union 17 at Union Elgin 18 at Elgin. Wallowa 17 at Wallowa. Joseph 26 at Joseph. Enterprise 31 at Enterprise.

SOME SAY IT WAS A DUCK-FOOTED DUMB-DUMB. WHILE OTHERS SWEAR IT WAS A WHIPHENPOOF. La Grande, Ore., March 5. (Special Pressing.) While returning home from the La Grande high school, where they had been practicing for the Senior play, a party of students, members of the cast, who gave their names as Lucile Craig, Mildred Weeks. Bertha Berger, Raymond Payton, and Tv C. McDonald, were pursued for several blocks by some unknown terror. A clear description of the beast is un- available. McDonald declares that it ap- peared to be a Side-hill Gowger, or even more like a Duck-footed Dumb-Dumb; while Payton swears it was a Whiphenpoof. None of the ladies were able to give any de- scription of it whatever, tho they all agree that they heard, and even felt, some- thing. The party of young folks had taken a short-cut home from the high school by way of South 4th Street when the hoys suddenly became aware that they were being pursued by an unknown Old Town monster. The girls became panic stricken and clung to the boys for protection, who WAR!! Egypt and H. S. at War! EXCITEMENT SO GREAT AND FEELING SO HIGH THAT STUDENT BODY PRES- ident McDonald goes a whole DAY WITHOUT SAYING “GREAT BALLS OF FIRE.” EGYPT BREAKS OFF DIPLOMATIC RE- LATIONS WITH L. H. S. Declaring that some member of the Senior Mascot Committee has broken into King Toot’s tomb and purloined several invaluable articles, among other things his class ring of the class of 2,323 B. C. (bear cat), Egypt informs us that we are no longer related, and that war exists. It has not been proven whether or not the accusations have any foundation or not, but it is known that Tige Larson is on the Committee, and it is very probable that they have. No definite action has been taken by the High School as yet, however the mem- bers of the Student Body have agreed not LOOTERS MAKE A HAUL BREAK INTO LA GRANDE HIGH SCHOOL DURING 8TH PERIOD. A DAILY OCCURENCE (Special Delivery) After years of patient shadowing, baiting, and careful studying of psychology. Detective Craig, of the Student Council, informs the students that there are actually members among them who have collected, eloped with, kidnapped or in various other ways acquired certain articles of wearing apparel, namely, caps, belonging to the Oth period students.

The party of young folks failed to re- port the incident as they should have; however the residents along 4th Street, awakened by the noise, and supposing a murder was being committed, all telephon- ed the authorities at once. Sheriff Warhorse left this morning with a posse in search of the monster, which, if found and conquered, will be placed in the high school trophy cage. SCIENCE STUFF One day while reading in the library, 1 ran across an old “Popular Science” maga- zine telling about the people on Mars with their little arms and big bodies, and the great tilings that a person from this earth could do up there. Yeh! A wonderful opportunity for somebody. A huge sky rocket is to be launched at Mars some of these days. When the man inside of it lands, he's going to construct a wireless and wire back and tell us about it. Yeh! He is. It said so in the book. Imagine being shot up in this rocket so high that the earth started to look like a dough baby and then find yourself descending on Mars. You know how people would say. “Don't eat that,” if you came hack and said that Mars was made of green cheese and that you landed ker-splash in an ocean of milk, swam forty miles an hour to the shore which you found to be a bank of cheese. Imagine how the people of Mars would stare if you dug up a piece of their Mother Earth and made a meal of it. I’ll be bound but that would sure win the barb wire hair net! A man of ordin- ary size can jump over a building the size of our high school building up on Mars.

OUR CEREAL THE ESCAPE OR THE DARING ADVEN- TURES OF BOR SOUTHERLIN SYNOPSIS Dotty Wade, who was spend- ing her school vacation with old Buck Wade, her millionaire uncle, owner of the (). and her only living relative, was kid- napped by the half-breed Cortez Pasha Hat and his band of outlaws and spirited away • o mountain retreat. Bob Southerlin. hardy son of the desert and foreman of the Bar Nothing ranch, and incidently ardent admirer of Dotty Wade, secretly followed hot upon the trail of the kidnappers, but was lassoed from ambush and taken to the cabin of Cortez, here he was bound to the stove pipe. There, before the eyes of the unconscious Dotty the villianous Cortez pinned the ace of hearts over the left side of our hero’s chest, stepped back the length of the room, and, drawing his trusty, never failing side-cannon, whose notches were far too numerous to mention, he fired. The heart vanished from the card!!!!!!!!! AND NOW TO GO ON Now an ordinary person in Bob’s posi- tion would have died soon after the bullet passed thru the card, but not so with Bob. Such thoughts were fartherest from his mind.

The bill provides that a large, smooth board, in shape similar to a black-board, be bung in the upper hall of the high school. Each student pos- sessing a student body ticket would be given a space on the board some ten inches square, with his name ingraved on it, for the purpose of parking his or her gum. This would be a marked inprovement over the old way of seat and desk park- ing, as it would eliminate the chance of confusing your gum with some one else’s. It would also prevent careless students from spilling ink or other scientific flavors on the said cud you are letting rest. A special clause provides for renting extra space to students with extra large chews, for a few cents a semester. In this way. funds could be raised to pay for the board and its upkeep. OUR CEREAL (Continued from Col. 2, Page 1) bis right side instead of his left he would undoubtedly become extinct then and there. Bob, who was the proud possessor of a good pair of wits called both of them to- gether and thought of a mighty scheme whereby he might continue to live. Ho realized that he had taken a horrible ad- vantage of Cortez’s ignorance as to the location of his particular heart, and by so doing he had postponed his demise. Aside from a slight hole thru his left side where his heart should have been, he felt all •� ght. Accordingly he dropped his head, stuck out his tongue, closed his eyes, and slumped down on the tireless stove, ap- parently deceased. Without waiting for the coroner’s ver- dict. the fiendish outlaw, crook that he was, with the aid of two of his crooked colleagues, gathered the limp form up into their hairy arms and carried him to an old well in the corner of the yard, where they cast him in like a stone. Once more fortune smiled at our hero; instead of being dashed to death at the bottom of the ancient well, which had been dry since prohibition, he landed feet first in the old oaken bucket that hung in the said well! “This is sure the worm’s Adam’s apple,” Bob murmured, as he peered over the rim of the well thirty-nine minutes later. “I believe that guy is crooked!” All was dark and quiet except for a dim light shining from the cabin of Cortez. Cautiously advancing to the open window, he peeked inside. There on a couch was the beautiful Dotty Wade, asleep. Sitting on the arm of a chair, rubbing bis hands and licking his thin whiskered lips, was the son-of-a-gun-of-a-Cortez!

Gathering every ounce of his fast ebbing strength into one mighty effort, he spat with deadly aim, at the lone candle across the room. It gave one sizzle and went out. Leaping thru the window and stopping only long enough to crack the unsuspect- ing and bewildered Cortez on the head with a stick of stove wood, our hero gath- ered up the slumbering form of Dotty Wade and made a hasty exit via the window, to his trusty mustang near by. But, at that instant the sleeping girl awoke and did a very foolish thing. Awakened so sud- denly, she supposed it was the ornery Cor- tez who had her, and she screamed! Instantly three hundred grizzly outlaws sprang out of the darkness and closed in on them! “It smells like our goose was nearly cooked.” whispered Bob. “This is positive- ly the clam’s crutch!” “Cheer up.

They planned on staying several WEEKS and to enjoy themselves to the ut- most. They started for the mountains with a HAYNES and a NASH car and an exceedingly large supply of KELLY springlield tires. After arriving at the ideal camp spot, they put up camp, and began preparing dinner, for all were ravenously hungry. They were too hungry to wait for a well- cooked meal so they just opened some CAMPBELL’S pork and BEANS. They now felt rested and ready for some strolls. LLOYD, O’CONNELL, PIER- SON, and HANKS started for a spring to get some fresh water but hadn’t gone far when HANKS came flying back into camp, pale and trembling. Behind her came LLOYD, O'CONNELL, and PIERSON a wee bit calmer. HANKS was speech- less so O’CONNELL tried to explain that, as they neared the spring, they METCALF which freightened HANKS. A few of the most venturous of the young ladies, who wished to show their bravery, strolled down to the river’s bank to enjoy the moonlight. After a few minutes the moon retreated behind some clouds and refused to appear again. In- stead of the girls fleeing to camp, they kept LINDGRBN by the bank. They didn’t want to hurry into camp and show that they were frightened. They tried to tell tales but each time they attempted to tell one they heard the brush crack and changed their minds. The stillness grew appalling, so MULHOLLAND said, Girls, let’s go to camp. I’m getting cold.” O, it’s not cold out here, but let’s do go to camp, KIRBY answered. I’m getting sleepy.” Which way shall we go,” asked YECK. There’s thick brush on that side and a ditch on— — —” She didn’t finish for a HOWELL and a ROHRER was heard in the thicket and they made a bee-line for camp, forgetting about the ditch. Next morning everything was lovely. A bird was heard to TRILL in the tree tops and the sun shone brightly. It was an ideal day for a horseback ride, so RUCKMAN walked to a nead by farm house and hired several saddle-horses. STOD- DARD, HARLAND, PRICE and SHROCK mounted the steeds and went for a ride. They returned early and remarked that there was a patch of SNOW up on the hill. They said they COCHRAN a race back to camp for they saw tracks off wild animals and were afraid there might be a BARRATT camp and KILLPACK of their comrades before they returned. They had to take the horses to a BLACK- SMITH shop and get new shoes put on them. In the evening SMUTZ. McCLAREN, LAFARNIER. SMITH, GARRICK and JOSELYN went down into the GLENN to go ROHAN. The moonshine was invigorat- ing and they enjoyed it immensely. You know how ’tis. Next day BURBRIDGE insisted on going to a farm house to get something really good to eat. The others made her promise to bring them a treat also, but when she returned they changed their minds, for what should she bring back but a chunk of Lim BERGER cheese. They chased her out of camp so she perched her- self on a CRAIG and enjoyed it by herself. They TOWLER never to bring anything into camp like that again, or anybody else either, and. they continued, All must BACKUS in this campaign.” McDONALD couldn’t be induced to partake of the fun for he was OWEN so much on the groceries and gasoline he had provided for the trip that it went to his brain and kept him worrying all the timev. The last evening everyone promised to stay in camp and have a regular jubilee. The program was arranged by THOMAS’, and SCHILKE beaded it with a solo. SMITH was next with a selection from Hamlet. HANNA and HANNA then gave a darree entitled’ Chase me. I’m a little Butterfly.” COMSTOCK and PAYTON gave a debate in Spanish. KROUSES’ kisses were distributed freely and I’m afraid many a young man lost his HART during the evening. When leaving next morning, LARSON remarked, Guess the GARDNER better stay and straighten things up.” Everyone flew in to pick things up and then ROBINSON said. Folks. I think we’ve BENNETT this long enough. Gee, it will seem good to get back to a real BOWLING alley and restaurants.” Someone asked. Did you have a good time?” They all shouted back KEENEY time?

Reverberation is when a word is made again into a verb. The equator is a menagerie lion running around the earth. A parable is an earthly story with no earthly meaning. Parasites are the inhabitants of Paris. An oxygen has eight sides. (In Spanish Class)—“What is the national flower of Spain?” “Bulrushes.” some one answered. 0000 Jane: “What’s the matter? Can’t you skate?” Soph.: “I don’t know yet. I can’t stand up long enough to find out.” 0000 Avis M.: “I read that the natives in the Fiji Islands never kiss.” Harold Smith: “Judging from their pictures, I don’t blame them.” 117 A BALLAD TO THE SENIORS The Senior class did enter High Some four long years ago, A green assemblage of Rooks were they As green as they do go. As Sophomores we were the hunk. As nutty as could be; With T. C. as our president. At us the school “tee-heed.” As Juniors we did start us out With brighter prospects much. For E. D. T. was principal And very strict as such. In basketball we carried off The champion honors all. Our Junior play it did succeed—- Packed for two nights the hall. As Seniors we have tried our best. But very sad to say. Some found when back to school this year Their credits gone astray. They think back o'er their years in school Of how many times they’d failed. And when at last come six weeks grades. Their count of F’s they wailed. But on we trudge unto the end. Think of our post with sighs. For maybe by the last of May Out we may go from “High”, oooo FROM SENIORS SOLILOQUY To pass or not to pass: aye, that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the end to flunk this semester's outrageous exams, and play football another year, or to take up my pen and try to pass them, and by passing end them. To pass; to play no more; and by passing perhaps end the thousand heroic ambitions that all football subs are heir to. 'Tis a consumation devoutly to be wished. To flunk; to play; to play? Perchance 1 might not make the team! Aye. there's the rub; for who can tell what kind of coach may come: what gifts or favors he may exact to place you on his team; must give us pause. There’s the respect that makes calamity of High School life. For who would bear the wet and muddy scrimmage, the hot and dusty “ten laps,” the agony of the monstrous bucking machine, the bawlings out of some insignificant coach, and the danger of a broken head or neck, if it were not for the trips, honor, and letter longed for. And thus the hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, and ambitions of great pith and glory with this regard their desires turn away, and lose the name of action. 4000 Here’s to the La Grande High School Here's to the Blue and White We are the loyal scholars Boosting with all our might. Firmly we stand united Our heart and conscience rule. Long live our Alma Mater Here's to our old High School. —Exchange. 119 Twenty-Three’s Downfall Chemistry is my downfall, I shall not want a sadder one; It maketh me to lie down to unpleasant dreams; It leadeth me into dispalr; It ruineth my vocabulary; It casteth me into the ranks of the fallen for its grade’s sake. Yea, tho I labor diligently in the laboratory, I appear for examinations. I will fear low grades while it is with me; Its atoms and molecules discomfort me; It prepareth humiliation for me In the presence of mine friends; It anointeth my hand with sulphuric acid; My crucibles runneth over. Surely to goodness if chemistry follows me, all the days of my schooling I shall dwell in the laboratory, second period, forever.—A. Senior, (Ex.) o � o Fonda: “Why, it’s only six o’clock. I told you to come after supper.” Mack: “Well, that’s what I came after.” 000« Landlady (knocking at the bedroom door): “Eight o’clock! Eight o’clock!” Frosh (sleepily): “Did you? Better call a doctor.” Mr. Campbell addressed his class thus: “I propose to show you a very fine specimen of a dissected frog, whch I have in this parcel.” Undoing the parcel, he disclosed some sandwiches, a hard boiled egg, and some fruit. “But—uh—but surely I ate my lunch!” he said. Freshman: “Huh?” Sophomore: “What?” Junior: “I didn’t get the question.” Senior: “Pardon me, I do not comprehend the nature of the interrogation.” 0000 Miss Bennett: “Compare low.” Clifford B.: “Low—dim—out.” o««« SENIOR’S ODE TO THE HIGH Here’s to the school color’s to true, Here’s to the white and to the blue. Shining from jersey, sock, or hat. Whenever our team is on the mat. Here’s to the teams of every kind. Which in the game have been behind. For in Football, Basketball, and Track, They always “bring the bacon back.” Here’s to the teachers of every class, Here’s to the Freshman hoping soon to pass, Here’s to the Sophomores and Juniors strong— Here’s to the school that’ll stand so long. Come now Seniors and we’ll say Good-Bye, For the last of our High School days now fly, So let’s all give a yell for the school while we’re here. Altogether now, we want every Senior to cheer. 120 JVMuTtishu} Section TO OUR PATRONS WE, THE CLASS OF 23.

When the wind stirs its drooping boughs. They seem to sigh and groan With memories of other scenes That then to it return. Mayhap it thought of the red skin Who once sought his forest game. Or of Ezra Meeker, first white man That e’er to this valley came. Were the memories per chance of others. Who ’neath its branches strayed? Were vows here long ago plighted By some lover and his maid? Does the fir, as of yore to the settler. Stand there «as a signal still? Does it speak of courage, and help, and great bounty Provided by His good will?
