HISTORIANS RECORD THE EVENTS OF INTEREST TO THE WORLD AND TO INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES; THUS THE MEMORIES OF THE PAST ARE PRESERVED, NEVER TO BE ERASED. THERE ARE MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. JOYS, SORROWS, TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS. AND ACHIEVEMENTS; EVEN EVENTS. WHICH MARKED THE PINNACLE OF OUR SCHOOL CAREER, THAT WE NOW THINK ARE INDELIBLY IMPRESSED UPON OUR MINDS. YET, SOMEHOW TIME ERASES THESE. SOON FORGOTTEN; THEY WILL SOUND FAINT- LY IN OUR MEMORIES LIKE THE STRAINS OF DISTANT MUSIC. THERE WILL BE NOTES OF GLADNESS AND OF WORK; STRAINS OF SUCCESS AND OF DEFEAT; AND THE SWELLING CHORDS OF FRIENDSHIP UNBROKEN AND ENDURING. IF WE, THE MIMIR STAFF, HAVE SUCCEEDED IN BRINGING BACK TO MEMORY IN FUTURE YEARS THAT UN- DEFINABLE S O M E T HING CALLED SCHOOL SPIRIT AND THE MEMORIES OF DAYS GONE BY, WE SHALL FEEL THAT THE HOURS SPENT IN EDITING THIS BOOK WERE NOT IN VAIN.

We managed to elect Ray Lynch, president. We had a “swell” picnic, way up in the mountains at '‘Dutch” Springs. Next was a rally for football. ’Nuff said about that. Our class had one man on the football team, Ray Lynch. In athletics, we beat all but the Seniors in basketball and track, and placed several men on both school teams. At the end of the year, most of us passed. Vacation arrived. On September 14, the class came together again. We had attained superior knowledge of the world. The average growth during the ‘vacation was about three inches in height and about 300% brain per student. We easily won the class stunt. We elected our president Jack Hiatt. This year saw our athletes play an important part in football, several made their letters. Our picnics this year were jinxed because it rained every time we went. One was to be held at Ladd Canyon but we were driven by the rain to the park. We won the ticket contest, the track meet, and interclass basketball con- test, placed five men on the basketball team and several on the track team. Exams. As Juniors we were very sedate and looked with distain upon the silly pranks of the Sophomores and Freshmen. When ever anything came up to be won, we won it. This was our peppiest year so far. Our class president was Clark Price. The football team was the Eastern Oregon Champs; we had seven men on it showing their stuff. The basketball team was placed second in the district and five of its members were Juniors. We won the Inter-class basketball championship and the track meet. Members from our class won three prizes In one state contest on essay writing and two in another. We put on the Junior Play “The Arrival of Kitty.” The proceeds of this successful play went to make the Junior-Senior banquet. A tragedy of our class history occurred when we failed to take the Mascot from the Seniors. On September 11, 1923, we came again to attend, for the last year our old L. H. S. We had grown in knowledge and size and strength, but in number we had decreased. The duty of upholding the honor of the school in athletics has largely fallen upon our shoulders. Our success we lay to our pep and spirit and to having people of ability to aid and counsel with us as have been the Hi-Dads and our advisers. Our football team was composed largely of Seniors. In scholastic events we have taken six prizes. We won the class stunt and several ticket selling contests. Our basketball team was composed of all Seniors, except one. Our class team won the interclass games. As the Senior play was a great success, we are assured of one of the best Annuals ever put out by our school. Most of the boys in school are out for track, we Seniors are behind them. About the only things of importance left are the Senior all-day picnic and the Mascot fight. We know we will win the latter through our great strength and pep. The other will be enjoyed that is certain. As our school days are drawing to a close, we are reluctant to leave old L. H. S. —Dallas Jacobson Page Twenty-Six 1924 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ L. H. S.

May 20, 1944 THE ANTICIPATOR Page 2 TMj anticipator STAFF Editor _______________________Ruth Scott Assistant Editor _________Bertha Howard Reporters___________Merton Childers and Honce Snodgrass Price: Invaluable. Published once: This copy. Editorials GRAVE CRISIS MUST BE MET No such investigation has been made concerning anything in the U. S. since the 1924 oil scandal as has been made concerning the present one. It certain- ly does not seem advisable to proceed with this one.. Two reasons are given for this: First, the mere fact that it has been found that Senator McClung stole 2 quarts of oil from Senator NeCombs car does not eem of enough importance to merit so much discussion. Secondly, it will keep the country in a turmoil and have a very depressing effect. In fact further discussion will be harmful to the utmost. According to official count of the ballots, we have for our new Justice of the Peace, Mr. Dallas Jacobson, who will take the place of Merton Childers. No one who has been brought before Justice Childers has been proven guilty. Let us hope the next man has better success. EXTRA ! ! ! ! ! By the latest news flash from the press, we hear that Miss Liletta Leighton, Amer- ican Methodist Missionary to Hindustan, has been killed in a rebellion of the na- tives. This is IMPORTANT. It may cause the entrance of the U. S. into war, if something is not done at once. This paper is in favor of having less hours and greater pay for aeroplane speed cops. At present they work 3 hours a day for ten dollars an hour. We would receive much better service, and live in danger of having an aeroplane fall on our heads at any moment, if larger pay were given, and their time reduced to two or one and one-half hours. DANCE HALL CLOSED: RUN WITHOUT LICENSE The dance hall run by Alice Scott on Adams Avenue commonly known as the “Step Lively Dance Hall,” has been closed as the owner has been running it without a license. After many peaceful years of submerged submissiveness the worn and wilting “Wire- less Club” has again been exposed to the gloomy light of day. Mr. Brownton, who has but newly arrived in our midst is the pusillanimous perpetrator of this deed, aid- ed by a few equally guilty co-partners in crime has invaded the deep and dismal darkness of our attics and carried down the insipid instruments. In a short preparatory meeting to elect officers Mr. Vincent McEwen was elected president, Mr. Eugene Metcalf, secretary; while Lester McClure had charge of the pecuniary side of the organization. Mr. Brownton received the largest number of votes for president, but refused with thanks, to take the office of president. He prob- ably still wished to retain the good will of his fellowmen. Although we do not wish to injure our clubs, or organization, we do hope something will stop this move, back toward the cave man. WANT ADS FOR SALE)—A twin baby buggy. Inquire Huck Stoddard.

H. S., came to be upper classmen. Thus, into Junior activities we came where larger opportunities await- ed us, and greater duties. Great golden-tongued Hummelt we chose for president, and fair-haired Wilma Smith our vice-president. To be our secretary-treasurer the oft’-chose Lila Bean we took. Safe to guide us through an active year, were given us the capable and well-beloved Murchinson and Barhite. Ah, here fellow students I must call to mind the victories we bore on that glorious field, strong in spirit as we Juniors are,—all we gave for school on foot- ball field, fighting for victories wherein Sherwood led. There, warlike Hummelt, and there Hughes. There too, Stienbeck, the peer of men in strength. Then at a feast in the high-roofed gymnasium Seniors and Junior class- men made merry. Above them was the jazz band and the music began. Pairs of dancers glided down the floor as they began to play. Thus was good fellow- ship establihed between the sister classes. When Junior girls o’er threw the lofty, proud Seniors in a friendly game of basketball, ah! then the goddess of athletic skill favored us. On the tournament floor at Union, we met our worthy opponent, Baker. For many years we had plotted their defeat with plan and play of every kind; yet still the boys hardly brought us through. Among the exulting arose the cry, “Oi to Salem! When back came our team, Bernard was the star; Bernard Hummelt, a man that went forth from this Junior class. Hearken, Juniors, to the challenge of the Seniors to the mascot fight. Come forth, you of brawny-arm strength, supreme. We’ll meet and fight for Junior name and honor. Yet after we have excelled in all classes in our presentation of the Junior play, kept our pLace in pep, contributed our big share to athletics, another year shall see us win greater glory still. —Inez Ebert ClclS!

It proved to be a very large and lusty youngster- He greatly resented the inference, by the other classes, that he resembled a tribe of vegetarians instead of being a member of the Caucasian race. He soon established himself on a high- er plane by carrying off first honors in the stunt contest, and set out to show that he would make a good salesman by seJling tickets for extra points in the inter class competition in school activities. The second year found him stronger and minus a few traits of backwardness which had hitherto hindered his freedom of expression. He took up the task of educating his younger brother, the class of 27. This trifling matter was dis- posed of efficiently and pleasantly. Then 26 settled down to the regular round of activities. He took no small part in the affairs of the school. Now, nearing the end of the second term of life, love, and the pursuit of fun, he is laying his plans for the future. —Claire McKennon Page Thirty-Three CLASS OF TWENTY-SIX 1924 H. S. (Class of '27 The Aeroplane, loaded for bear with new “Rooks” for the L. H. S., landed in the auditorium one bright September morning at nine o’clock. They listened with gaping mouths and owl eyes to the rules of the high school, aghast that there was no fifteen minute recess for them to play tag or ball. The “Rooks” boarded their aeroplane, “Baby Zep,” disconsolately and con- tinued their journey only for the worse it seemed. The aeroplane struck an air current and the aviator guided “Baby Zep” with its important occupants to safety. However, the aviator quit. He said that all he could see “was green “Rooks” and he was almost blind. A new aviator had to be found. The man at the wheel was Irvin Zundell. An assistant for Zundell was Clifford Tiffany. The “Rooks” decided that some one would have to take care of the little “Rooks” to keep them from falling out. The honest “Dot” Eberhard was the one for this new responsibility. “Baby Zep” had clear flying for a while. However, it became very cold and the “Rooks” were very low in spirit. Miss Ruth Nash, chief director to the course we should follow, advised that some boy and girl be appointed to keep our spirits up. The lively fun-loving “Rooks” for this were Betty Cochran and Virgil Schooley. More clear flying and then without warning the poor “Rooks” “hit the Rally.” They tried to bombard the Sophomores but it wasn’t any use because the Juniors and Seniors gave all their energy to the Sophomores and with the combined efforts of our three enemies we were brought to the ground with a broken wing. We passed the quizzes without much difficulty and with our colors, purple and gold, flying high. We evidently missed Dramatics because we have not been successful in selling tickets and winning points over our enemies. After spending a few weeks on land we took out “Baby Zep” and continued our journey. We landed in Union just in time to join the interclass track meet. Our aviator, “Tubby” Zundell won the high honors for the “Rooks.” The Seniors were victorious. The fccore for the “Rooks” was fourteen, which made us feel as if we needed about two more live wires to cheer us up. Nevertheless, we sur- vived under the circumstances and refrained from electing any more live wires. We took to our “Baby Zep” again. Our plans are at the present time to continue flying until we come to the current, “Sophomores.” Then we are going to land and remain for a time. —Flossie Vedder, in behalf of the Freshmen Class.

The purpose of the modern high school is two fold: first, to prepare pupil to meet life’s problems better; and second, to lay a foundation for more advance study leading toward the professions on general cultural attainment. La Grande High School endeavors to meet these two aims by maintain!) a well-balanced course consisting of a curriculum based on the fundamental su jects such as English, History, Mathematics, Science and Language. These su ' jects are supplemented by the vocational subjects such as commercial work, horii economics and manual arts and machine shop. The school further makes provision for the activities so necessary in t 3 life of young people by carefully supervised athletics, oratorical contests, debat , dramatics and a Limited number of social events. It is the aim of the school to feature the various departments in the Mir r this year. ENGLISH As English is a study which every student of the H. S. is required to ta re, it is the largest department of the school, having an enrollment of four hund d fifty pupils. There are six teachers of English: Miss Bennett (Head of English,) Ms. Lindgren, Miss Neiljl, Miss Coolidge, Mrs. Reynolds, and Mr. Ross. The work of the department is intended to give the pupil a knowledge lid use of the English language. In addition to writing there is given much prac ce in talking. In addition to the regular work, there is training in writing ess -tvs, orations, and debates. DRAMATICS The Dramatic ability of the High School is under the direction of t-iss Bennett. As a result of the work of this department, the different classes .ve been able to present Some very interesting and excellently performed plays. A-ong with the usual study of plays and performance, the students of the dram jr.ics classes have done much in the art of make-up, which is a very important mart in the presentation of a play. The aim of this department is to create the at9 re- ciation and enjoyment of finer and better plays. There is an enrollment of thirty- four in dramatics. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The two modern languages taken up in the La Grande High School are Spanish and French. These classes are under the direction of Miss Com � $ock. There are seventy-three students enrolled in the Spanish, and twenty-sevn in the French classes. Both a Spanish and a French Club have been organized. These organiza- tions hold regular meetings at which programs of different sorts are give all of which are given in either French or Spanish. This tends to increase interest in the language studied and some excellent results have been obtained. Miss Neill has charge of the Latin, Cicero, and Caesar classes. Their are eighty students studying this language. HISTORY DEPARTMENT There are in this department five teachers. Miss Barhite, Miss Cci-fidge, Mrs. Lindgren, Miss Murchison, and Mrs. Campbell. Two hundred and thirty students are studying history. Since history repeats itself it is the aim of the department to so teach Page Thirty-Nine students past events and their results, that they may become intelligent citizens more capable of meeting world problems. The importance of a subject lies, not in the grade received, but in he knowledge gained. The full accomplishment of the department will be to produce a logical thinker generally informed, who knows where to refer for real details, and to give a better understanding of the values of life in the light of past events, and withal to broaden the vision of the student. SCIENCE The Science Department of the La Grande High School is among the best in the State. Its laboratories for the different branches of science are quite com- plete. The branches of science taught in the school are Botany, Physics, Phy- siography, Physiology, and Chemistry. There the three instructors: Mr. Towler, Rotany; Mr. Campbell, Physiology, Physics, Chemistry, and Physiography; and Mrs. Campbell, Physiography. There are one hundred and thirty-five students enrolled in these subjects. The aim of this department is to equip the student to enter college better prepared to take up the scientific problems that they will meet there. This department gives the student a better idea of the common things in every day life. MATHEMATICS There are two hundred and ninety-eight students enrolled in the mathe- matics classes of our High School. Of these two hundred and eighteen are tak- ing required mathematics (Algebra 1 and 2; Geometry 1 and 2.) Eighty students this year have taken higher work in this line (Algebra 3, Geometry 3 «or Trigo- nometry) as electives. Under the instruction of Miss Bowling and Miss Murchison, this work is made to correlate with the science, the manual training, and the domestic art courses. The chief aim is to turn out students who are capable of taking higher mathematics in college. MUSIC DEPARTMENT This department is one of the most instructive that the high has installed. It not only deals with present-day tnusic accomplishments but in the work of musical history, the classes follow the advancement of music from ancient to modern times. In musical harmony the classes are taught to read and write music and understand the difficulties which attend it; and in musical apprecia- tion the students become familiar with 'the world’s famous voices and musical accomplishments. The department, besides regular work, puts on several annual specialties; the operetta, April Antiks, girls’ double quartet, orchestra, and boys double quar- tet. Talent is held in this department and placed on exhibition at the special activities. The operetta especially offers a wide field for talent and is one of the most delightful and thoroughly enjoyed of all school activities. The de- partment is under the direction of Miss Isabella Miller. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT All the work in the Commercial Department is under supervision of Miss Anna Davis, There are one hundred and sixty students who are taking one or more commercial subjects: these include shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, com- mercial arithmetic, and business English. The aim of the department is to prepare the boy or girl for the business world; to turn out accurate, competent stenographers and bookkeepers. A further aim is to assist pupils in gaining a more useful knowledge of vocational subjects. The New York typewriting companies give awards for certain accuracy tests which they distribute. Among these the certificates given for thirty-five or more words per minute for fifteen minutes, has been won by eleven pupils. The bronze Page Forty-One L. H.

The bars, added for each ten words over the minimum, have been won by two. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department consists of Domestic Science and Domestic Art. There are forty-eight girls enrolled in the Domestic Science department and forty-five in the Domestic Arts department. The science department under the instruction of Miss Marjorie Barratt has played an important part in the High School activities this year. It has served five or six banquets, several candy sales and also has served cafeteria during the winter months. The girls in this department have made budgets and have taken up dietetics and menu making for families and banquets. The Junior-Senior ban- quet was prepared and served by this department. The Art department has taken up besides the customary dress and hat making, the study of textiles and house furnishing. Under the direction of Miss Virginia Haynes, the girls have made many beautiful and stylish clothes. Both these departments are planning an Art Exhibit of the different articles. INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department is one of the most important departments in the school. Ninety-seven boys are enrolled in the various classes of the de- partment. Of these, fifty-eight are enrolled in the wood-working department and thirty-nine in the machine shop. It is under the instruction of Mr. Snow and Mr. McEachran. The wood-working department includes bench work, cabinet making,, lathe, and mechanical drawing. Included in the shop work are gas engines, forging, mechanical drawing. The aim of the department is to give the boys of the school a practical training in the manual arts. In the woodworking department many beautiful and practical articles of furniture are made. In the machine shop, instruction is given in overhauling automobiles and gas engines, in making various tools, and in working on the drill press and lathe. THE LIBRARY The High School Library has a shelf list of about 1500 volumes. This con- sists, for the greater part, of reference books. Besides the five sets of encyclo- pedias, there are books of history', science, literature and fiction. There is an average circulation of 100 volumes a day, including reference books, newspapers, and the periodicals. The library has recently been re-accessioned and re-arranged, under the supervision of Margaret Creasey, Ruth Scott, and Ella Niederer.

Most of the Juniors and Sen- iors were present. The decorations, costumes and refreshments were in keeping with Hallowe’en. The evening was spent in dancing, and at a late hour everybody went hap- pily homeward. A. G. S. PARTY The A. G. S. girls gave a party on December 11. A very clever program and games furnished the entertainment for the evening. Delicious refreshments were serv- ed at a late hour, after which every one departed for home. Those present pronounced the party a big success. FACULTY PICNIC To relieve their minds of the strain of breaking four hundred young colts into harness after three months of freedom in green pastures, the faculty journeyed to the park where they held a picnic. Here they banished their cares to the wind and dem- onstrated that they were really “humans after all.” FOOTBALL BANQUET The football team were guests of the “Hi Dads” at a banquet Dec. 12. It was at this banquet that the “Hi Dads” organized, elected officers and made Mr. A. T. Hill the “Grandad.” Also Cecil Sherwood was elected football captain for the coming sea- son next fall. This organization deserves much credit for its thoughtfulness in giving this banquet. All those who were present said that this affair greatly assisted in creating a good feeling between the team and the “Hi Dads.” BASKETBALL BANQUET The “Hi Dads” gave a banquet on March 10 in honor of the boys and girls basket- ball teams and the student body officers. A pleasing three course dinner was served with “Grandad Hill” acting as toastmaster. Several of. the players from each team and some of the “Hi Dads” gave lively toasts. STUDENT BODY DANCE One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the year was the student body dance given by the “Hi Dads”, Friday evening, March 14th. At eight o’clock about 50 couples thronged into the beautifully decorated gym. Excellent music was furnished by Olson’s orchestra. During the evening the results of the Medford vs. La Grande basketball game was given. This announcement took a little of the zest from the par- ty; nevertheless the students reported a good time and voted the “Hi Dads” capable hosts. JUNIOR PLAY CAST ENTERTAINMENT On November 22 the cast of the Junior play were entertained at the domestic science department. Dancing and games made up the evening. Late in the evening eats were announced and everyone rushed in about the table. The eats and decora- tions carried out the color scheme—which was green and white. SENIOR PLAY CAST ENTERTAINED A very enjoyable evening was spent on April 18, when the Senior play cast were entertained at the Domestic Science and Art departments. The evening was spent in dancing and playing games. At a late hour they were, seated around the table where Page Sixty 1924 L. H. S. delicious refreshments awaited them. Each of the cast was presented with a large key supposed to be “The Original Key to Baldpate.” Francis Robinson presided as toastmaster. SENIOR PICNIC As it is the custom of the Senior class to hold an all day picnic every spring just before the close of school, the class of ’24 assembled at the high school where cars were waiting to transport them to their picnic grounds, Indian creek. Of course no one but the Seniors know all that happened, but it is assumed that they had plenty to eat and a good time. MIMIR STAFF LUNCHEON Early in May the Mimir staff met for a luncheon to celebrate the completion of the annual. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual banquet given to the Seniors by the Juniors was enjoyed Saturday evening, May 3, at six-thirty o’clock. The banquet was held in the Domestic Science and Art departments. Red and yellow tulips predominated in the dining room. Har- monizing place cards also lent their charm. Following Menu was served: Fruit Cocktail Chicken Loaf Mashed Potatoes Corn a la Southern Grape Ice Hot Rolls Pickles Olives Jelly Strawberry Short Cake Mints Coffee Nuts The banquet hour was followed.by lively toasts, at which Bernard Hummelt pre- sided as toastmaster.

Here the Dutch scheme was cleverly carried out. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES The Commencement Exercises are to be held in the L. D. S. Tabernacle this year. It is the usual custom of the mothers of the graduates to give a reception and a dance for them afterward. During the evening the traditional ceremonial is performed by smoking the pipe of peace. Later the Seniors present the pipe to the Juniors. Page Sixty-One LITERARY L. H. S. 1924 Evening Evening in the summer. When the dark creeps all around. When the great big moon peeps thru the street, All is quiet—not a sound. Then I’d rather look and listen To this fairyland of mine Than do ’most anything I know— It sort o’ fits my line. I love to watch the moonbeams Come stealin’ o’er the grass, To make the flowers all satiny And shining just like glass. To me this has no equal. This hour of silvery light, And I find myself a stealin’ there. Every moonlight night. —La Nita Gaskilt, ’24 The Girl I Wanted To Meet I saw her at the dance, I noticed her when she first came in, I watched her as she stood talking to her friends. I don’t know what made me take so much notice of her. She was of medium height, had dark brown eyes, her hair was dark brown and was fashionably bobbed, she wore a brown dress, and I guess her name was Brown. She was of a rather dark complexion but her cheek had a ruddy glow. I asked every one I danced with to give me an introduction but none of them knew her. Every time I would look her way she would turn so I could not catch her eye. During a circle two- step I was lucky to get to dance with her. Just as I was getting acquainted, we had to circle, (curses), and scheme and work as I might I never could get near her again. Finally by getting acquainted with one of her friends, I managed to get an intro- duction. I must have been a little embarrassed but I looked and smiled my best. It was my little sister. She had her hair bobbed and wore a new dress. I had always considered her as too young to go anywhere. —MARION HEADLEY. The Psalm of a Rook Verily I say unto you that the life of a rook is of few months and full of trouble. Yea, he entereth the arena of life as a little sucker and a chewer and when his candy and gum are taken away from him he lifteth up his voice and great is the howl, thereof. Soon the time cometh that he cutteth his teeth and he hollereth some more. Preadventure he cometh to the end of the first six weeks and he is sent to the office that he might obtain knowledge about his standing, but his heart hankereth not for knowledge—it panteth for the water brook where the fish will bite. So he playeth hookey and geteth warped by a birch rod at eventide. The next morn he is called to the office again and he goes. The door closeth behind him and a solemn conference doth ensue after which he emergeth from the office with a pale face and a ruined rep- utation. He sees a pretty female rook one day and he talketh with her and soon he learneth that a red necktie and a white collar are more to be desired than work. True it is that he learneth to smoke cigarettes and swear like the seniors. At the end of twelve weeks he findeth that his grades have sunk into the depths of disgrace and he resolves to study harder and correct them. He worketh hard but it does no good. Then it cometh to pass that the examinations are given and he flunketh miserably. His report card is taken home by the postman and his father decideth that his son is hopeless. The poor rook is spoken of in the past tense for a few days and the school waggeth on without him.—Selah. Page Sixty-Four The Hereafter of a Criminal “There goes the six o’clock whistle, kids, 1 guess I’d better be going home.” “Ah, c’mon! Let’s just play a half hour longer. You don’t need to go home yet” “Yes, I do. I have to write a book-report.” “Oh, is that all? I can give you mine and you can copy it. That won’t be nearly so much trouble. I copied it from Bub and he copied it from some- one else.” “Yeah? What if Miss Barch found it out? But we’re not in the same class, so she’d never know it. Sure, I’ll take it. C’mon fellers, lets play ball.” This last speech came from George Richards, who had just been elected captain of the Freshman baseball team. It really wasn’t his nature to copy other people’s work, but when he either had to quit playing and study or copy, he naturally chose the latter. That night at eight o’clock he was copying; at nine o’clock he was copy- ing; at nine-thirty he was still at it. At about ten o’clock he finished. His book report was ready. Then it seemed that several years rolled by in rapid succession. George was slowly climbing that long stairway of marble steps that leads to the One Exalted Home. When he had nearly reached the top, he recognized St. Peter, whose long, white robes trailed behind him as he slowly paced back and forth in front of those Pearly Gates. When St. Peter saw the newcomer, he beckoned for George to come thither. This George did but at no high rate of speed. St. Peter mounted his great arm- chair, fixed his gaze on George, and finally asked the lad what he wanted. After several seconds of fidgeting, the boy managed to get the idea across that he wanted to get through the gates. St. Peter pulled the record book nearer to him and turned to the name of George Richards. By this time, George’s knees were shak- ing to the best of their ability. Finally, St. Peter looked up over his spectacles and imparted the sad news that there was one big black mark for Master George Richards. Of 'course George had no idea of why he should have a black mark. He had never done anything wrong. Oh, no! Then began the questioning. Had he ever taken candy from his baby sister? I should say not. Did he ever take a marble away from his neighbor’s little boy? He couldn’t remember of doing so. How about the time he played hookey? He couldn’t remember that either. Had he always had his lessons well prepared in school? Oh my yes! Did he always do his own work? Well------------------yes. Did he ever copy any book reports? Just one, and that wasn’t all his fault, the other fellow offered it to him. St. Peter solemnly stepped down from his throne. He laid his hand on George’s shoulder. As George looked up at the whit6, wrinkled face, that was crowned with silken locks of long, white hair, falling over the feeble shoulders and mingling with the beautiful white beard, St. Peter spoke: “Son.” he said, crowned with silken locks of long, white hair, falling over the feeble shoulders “that other fellow you spoke of was just a little ahead of you. He wasn’t satis- fied with tempting you, but he tempted other poor souls who were weak enough to be influenced by him. If you wish to see what happened to him, come with me.” They did not pass through those Pearly Gates, but through much smaller ones at the side. As they entered, everything was peaceful and beautiful. “Surely this is paradise,” thought George. “This is but a taste of what he might have had,” said Peter. “But-----------.” He did not finish, for they came to a sharp turn in the road. As they made this turn, George felt a wave of intense heat. Ho dodged just in time to escape being caught by a long, treacherous tongue of fire. In the center of the scene he saw' a score of little red demons, poking the fire with their pitch forks. When they saw George, they gave the most un- earthly scream that the poor boy had ever heard. George clutched wildly for St. Peter’s hand, but it was gone! Then crash! He came to his senses midst a great roar of laughter. He was on the floor by the side of his chair. He heard his mother’s gentle voice saying, “Shame on you, Willie. He was probably dreaming about baseball. Go put that alarm clock up. Its enough to scare anybody.” —Mae Bean, ’25 Page Sixty-five L S. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 1924 How Mystery Is Solved For hours I’ve wondered o’er life’s mystery And sought to solve the charms this earth doth hold. I’ve dared to face the caves of centuries old; I’ve searched the countless tiles of history To find the secrets of the mystery That doth surround each man and beast and bole. And answer to my question I was told. While working in the 'lab” of chemistry. Now I know how the precious stones are made, And what doth cause the rainbow’s brilliant hues; How food and air do make life’s spark in men Withstand laws that by nature have been laid, And which of the metals men do put to use. So it doth add to the joy of the earth we’re in. —Kenneth Fleshman, ’24 ROOM 444 CHARACTERS Baptise Dorion—Bernard Hummelt Owen Price Battling Moco the Eskim—James Colter Eugene Metcalf Ray Lynch Huckleberry Stoddard Lester McTavish or Mac. SETTING The scene takes place in the Antlers Hotel, Baker, Oregon. The exact place is Room No. 444. The time is in the evening about six o’clock. There are three beds in the room, a dresser, a table, and two chairs. There are two double beds and one single bed is placed so that the foot of it comes to the edge of one of the double beds. The chairs are covered with clothes and the dresser is simil- arly attired. The two windows are at the back of the stage. There are two doors in the room beside a closet door. One of the doors has a transom over it. As the curtain rises all of the characters are present except Coach MacTavish. All are dressed in pajamas and are looking out the windows and are mostly out of the windows themselves. They are throwing things at the people in the street below. The outside door slowly opens and in steps McTavish. He stands perfectly still rubbing his chin. Ray: There's sure a big bunch of La Granders coming over. Another car- load just passed. Owen (looking around behind him) Look at my shadow on the wall. (All turn around and look.) I think we had better go to bed! There is a mad scramble to get under the covers. Bernard dives single bed, Moco and Gene into the double bed that stands alone, and Page Sixty-Six into the the rost 1924 H. S. the other double bed. Mac Slowly walks over to the bed. Gene: We were just seeing what time it was. Mac: That's what I though. You might check that off your list and get a little rest because you are going to need it. I’m going to lock the doors and keep quiet because they can hear you all over the hotel. (He goes out and locks the door after him.) Owen: Hey Mac. What time are you going to call Tor us? Mac: Just leave that to me and I'll get you up in plenty of time. (You can hear his footsteps as he goes down the hall. Everyone pretends that they are asleep. Huck lets out a loud snore and all rise in bed to see what is wrong.) Ray: These farmers don’t know when they are supposed to sleep. (Huck rises up with the rest.) Maybe you just think ve don’t. Owen: Huck,. go see what time it is. (Huck goes over to the chairs and looks around until he finds a watch.. He looks and then puts it away and crawls back into bed. Huck: It's 6:15. (Huck runs and dives into bed with Ray and Owen. Moco starts singing.) Moco: She’s the kind of a girl that men forget, she’s— (He ducks just in time to let a pillow thrown by Batiste at him almost go out the open window. It is saved just in time by Gene.) Baptiste: Come on, let’s get a little sleep! (All pretend to go to sleep. Huck reaches out and grabs Baptiste by the toe.) Bap. Ouch! Huck, let go my toe! I’ll kick a slat out of you pretty quick. (Ray crawls over and sticks his head out of the window.) Ray: OH, HOH! Look at the Shebas. (Huck and Owen look and Baptiste takes a pillow and carefully lets go with the pillow. There are two thuds, one hs the pillow lands and the other as Ray’s head bangs the window. Ray lets out a bellow and everyone toars much to his displeasure. By the time he gets turned around Baptiste is back in bed pretending that he is asleep. Ray gets up to get a look at the bump raised on his head.) Owen: Look at that kid’s haircut! (Fresh outbursts of mirth. Ray puts up his hands to feel his haircut.) Owen: Where’d you get it?” Ray: Boy, I’ll never go there again. That crazy barber was drunk. When he went to shave my neck his hand was going like this. (Ray demonstrates as lie tells about it.) 1 sure was scared. My head started to go or maybe to shake and for some reason or other we kept in tune and he didn't cut an ear off. (Moco starts laughing and holds his sides.) Moco: That haircut! OOOHH---- (Ray gets disgusted and does a flip over the foot of the bed lighting on Owen and Huck. He covers up his head.) Owen Hey, Moco, shut your window, it's too cold in here. Bap. Don’t you do it Jimmie, it is hotter than an oven here now (Footsteps are heard outside through the transom.) Gene: Shhh It’s Mac. Voice outside: Let me in. Huck: Who is it7 Voice: Bung. Ray: We can’t. Mac locked us in. Gene: Crawl thru the key hole or over the transom. Baptiste: You can’t do that! Ray: Say Bung, have you got on rubber heels? Page Sixty-Seven L. H.

Bung: Ain’t you funny. Baptiste: Go around and try the door to the other room. (You can hear the sound of Bung’s footsteps.) Owen: -Poor little Baptiste, he got Tiis head shot off in the big cannon. Baptiste: Shut up about Baptiste. Let’s go to sleep. Ouch! ! ! Let go m.v toe Huck. (Ray carefully looks out the window as a street clock strikes seven.) Ray: Gee, I wish there was a fire so you guys could hear that old whistle. It goes OOOOOOoooooOOOOOHHHHHhhhhh Moco: You’ll think you are on fire if Mac comes in and you are not asleep. Ray: Go on to sleep yourself, Moco, or you can’t go to the dance tonight. Owen. Poor little Baptiste, he got all cold and hungry and he could hear the wolves howl in the distance. He didn’t know when they were going to get him. He was all alone with his little baby brother—Ouch! (A pillow from Bernard hits him.) Ray: Hey you guys cut that out; don’t you know that I’m held responsible for everything that goes on in this room? Baptiste: That’s good. Give me my pillow, Parley, I got to get a little sleep. Ray: It is not healthy to sleep on a pillow, Baptiste. (He feels the bump on his head and puts the pillow under it.) Owen: Whose foot is that? (Reaches down and pulls out the offending foot.) Huck: It ain’t mine. Maybe it’s your own. Ray: Maybe it belongs to me. Owen: I wish you would cut your toe nails before I have to call a doctor. (Ray gets up and starts hunting for a knife in some of the clothes.) Ray: Who’s got a knife? Page Sixty-Eight 1924 L. H. S. (No response. He keeps on hunting. Finally Huck answers.) Huck: I got one in my pants pocket. No, the other one. (Ray gets it and opens the blades.) Ray: Which is the sharpest? Huck: Neither one. Ray: This is a hopeless job. (He puts the knife away and goes back to bed just in time to pretend sleep when Mac unlocks the door. All is quiet.) Mae: 'All right get a wiggle on you. You have only got half an hour to get ready in. (Huck looks out of the window.) Huck: Gee it must have rained while we were asleep! CURTAIN —Marion Headley, ’24 Autumn Scene A road bestrewn with gorgeous leaves, Winds in and out among the trees, While here and there among the bushes, Between the cat-tails and the rushes, There flows a peaceful little stream, On which some ships all brightly gleam. These • wee vessels of many a hue Are fallen leaves passing from view. Silence reigns! Save for the rustle, When some leaves dropping them to jostle, Or when some bird the silence breaks Sings of the joy of the Southern States. —Maurine Moore, ’24. Page Sixty-Nine L. H.

Wafted up from the smell of hop and joss of Dan field’s Chinatown recently came the tale of Gee Foo’s death.”—News Item. On the western coast San Francisco is the metropolis of the western China- towns. Many strange things are done there. It is afternoon in this Oriental world of America. The sunshine is bright and comfortable. Men. women and children are hurrying up and down the street of San Francisco’s Chinatown. All days had seemed alike to Gee Foo until today and now this was differ- ent. The word had been passed to him that he was to go before the hour of noon to the house of Lee Jong, the merchant prince of Chinatown. This was different and it was queer, for Lee Jong never invited any of his countrymen inside his door except to do his work. And so as Gee Foo shuffled down the bright street he thought of the many strange happenings he had seen in Chinatown. Within the hour Gee Foo was seated at tea with Lee Jong and the purpose of the summons was being explained. 44—You will then go directly to the ferry terminal. There a package will be given to you. on the evening of February fourth, by a wel'l-dressed young American who will wear as a distinguishing mark, a white rose in the button-hole of a black suit. You are to take the package and go directly to Danfield. When you arrive in Danfield go to Lau Sz -with the package. He will understand. Your journey will then be over, and you may do as you please. If you are successful you may name your own reward.’’ There was a long moment of silence. The hum of the street came into the loom. Lee Jong went on in a passionless monotone. “If you fail, you will do well to end your life. That is all. You may go.” Gee Foo nods his head and passes out again into the sunshine. He goes to his home and prepares for the journey. After all things are ready he takes his long-stemmed pipe and goes out and sits by his door. He seems to be asleep, hut no—the white smoke from his pipe rises very regularly except when he stops to refill it. Two hours pass and he is still smoking. The shadows are growing long- er. He starts down the street. He stops and listens. Some one hisses from a building, “You must not fail. Gee Foo. go back!” He shuffles back to his seat beside the door, relights his pipe and puffs away the time until the sun sinks. He goes into his house and comes out again with a small satchel and goes off down the street. There he is waiting at the ferry terminati! Yes. and there is the young man dressed in black, and he wears a white rose. Gee Foo sidles up to him. The young man passes him something which Gee Foo immediately locks in his satchel and goes off. But who is that that seems so interested in the maneuvers? Gee Foo arrives at Danfield the next afternoon. As he peers from the window he sees the man who had watched him take the package from the young man in the black suit with the white flower in the button-hole. With him are two blue-coated officers. He looks once more at the officers and then takes his satchel and opens it. From it he takes the package and unwraps it. He removes ten blackish-brown kernels of a substance that looks like gum and swallows them one after another. The passengers in their hurry do not notice him as he does it. Then he goes out of the car and steps on the platform. Immediately the three men come up to him. They talk for a few minutes and he goes off with them. The town clock strikes the hour of four. Gee Foo shuffles down the street of Danfiold’s Chinatown. He stops a minute to rest He goes on—slower and slower. At last he knocks at the door of Lau Sz. He waits for an answer but it does not come. He knocks again and the door is opened. Gee Foo turns and looks once more at the bright sunshine, the busy street, the happy people. Then he leans against the door and sinks slowly to the floor. His spirit is on its journey to join his ancestors. Gee Foo had kept his trust. Floyd Coolidge, ’24 Page Seventy 192 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□L. H. S- The Sunset Call Oh. come, all ye world-weary mortals. From your toil where the mass of men live. Come into the play ground of giants. There is nought Earth has better to give. You will wander afar in your seeking For the riches that mankind holds best. Hut ne’er will you find such a garden As in this sunset land of the West. Turn away from your toil .and your burdens. From the lust of the past with its sting. To the land where the blue-bird is singing And the meadow lark heralds the spring. On out in the great far West country. Where the green sage and junipers grow. And the sunset is like unto heaven. Where Gabriel’s last trumpet shall blow. Oh. come then, ye unhappy mortals. From conventions and loves of the past To the best that the universe gives us. Let the great West enfold you at last. By M. C. w Speaking of Jewels A steady “boom! boom!” of the tom-toms came in a slow, rythmic order from the hills. The night was a hot, sultry one as is the way with all Indian nights. I had not been asleep more than thirty minutes when I was awakened by a cry from one of the guards. The superstitious natives were crouching in fear but the old scientist was busily writing in a note book. I was forced to smile at his coolness. The thing that had startled the blacks was a burst of flame and the sad- den appearance of a note, apparently from out of thin air. I took the note and found that the words were written in blood on a parchment of unknown materials in Indian hieroglyphics. I called one of the blacks to translate it. His eyes fairly bulged. In a wavering voice he read, “Those who enter the portals of Hoss never leave; you have entered.” For some moments all was silent, and then a weird laugh rang out from behind us, but when we turned, there was no one there. After the first warning, nothing happened through the six long, hot, tire- some days of travel. Then on the seventh day, the second of the long string of persecutions started. In the afternoon we had stopped to rest, when a long arrow sang past my ear and sank into the tree against which I was leaning. I im- mediately grasped my automatic in my hand. At about fifty yards away was a bush of very thick foliage. Scarsely visible behind it were three painted warriors. A volley of arrows and javelins lit in our very midst. I picked up an arrow with something wrapped around it and unfolded the note. Tt appeared to be a parchment exactly like the othersv This time it read, “Too late; you are doomed.” They were evidently trying to frighten us. The following morning, again on the march, we saw before us a mighty cave. At its mouth were black warriors. Some shot their arrows, but we were out of range, so they fell harmlessly to the ground. They were superior in numbers, while we were better equipped with arms. Our wit was better than their magic, so we felt we could easily cope with any obstacle placed in our way. Page Seventy-One L H.

Our guards immediately held up their eight-foot shields which formed a wall upon which the missies fell harmlessly. We then put our fire-arms into pay and rained a torrent of lead into the cavern. Thus we started our siege. After some twenty minutes of warding off the arrows and raining shells into the enemy, we were suddenly relieved to find that the enemy had ceased to shoot. We ventured out from behind our temporary fort but to our joy no new volley was fired. The blacks had evidently had enough. With a feeling I cannot describe, we advanced through the stygian dark- ness into what trap we knew not. I suddenly stepped into space, and unable to regain my balance I plunged downward to where. I knew not. After some hour and a half in absolute darkness and icy water I finally came upon a cave which was the entrance to a tunnel. I followed it and found that it led upward and finally came to an oval room. In its center sat a priest. There before him were the professor and the others, all surrounded by black war- riors. They had been captured and brought to have death pronounced by a high priest of Hoss. The priest was angry. He screamed commands at his men and pointed a long bony finger at my companions. Before a man could move, I was among them firing both guns at them as fast as I could. Some eight had fallen, including the priest, before the rest had presence of mind enough to turn and flee. My companions were very much relieved at my timely arrival and after se- curing our supplies which had been piled upon the throne, we filed out after the the fleeing warriors. At last we arrived at another great room. It was the mightiest cavern I had ever seen. It was here that the underground road upon which we now travelled ended and it was here that the beautiful great miracles were performed by the god, Hoss. This was the court at which beautiful maidens were sacrificed to Hoss. This was the chamber where unfortunate strangers were tortured for entering the realm; of Hoss The room was of black basaltic rock and was a cavern. Its towering dome was fully three hundred feet high, and from where I stood I judged that the diameter of its mighty circular floor was over a mile. It was lighted by great torches in natural oil, and its flinty surface twinkled in their wavering light. At the very center, stood a massive temple,. I cannot des- cribe the fanciful designs that were carved upon its colored surface, no more than you could describe yellow to a blind man; that they were gorgeous is suf- ficient. At its entrance were several ranks of black warriors around the front of the building, and each had an arrow fitted to a bow, ready for firing. A gor- geously trapped Hindu priest came forward, a scowl on his lips, and in a slow voice said. “You have by some miracle lived to gaze upon the temple of Hoss and you are not in his clutches; now, 'before him, you shall die.” At this he turned and waved his, hand. As he did so the bows twanged, and arrows struck our shields with a bang, but no casualties resulted. We returned the volley and some six of the defenders dropped. The few survivors at the entrance were so much afraid of our guns that finally they broke and ran. The priest, who could not stop them, yelled a couple of words of warning into the temple, ami then fled in their wake. Immediately there issued from the temple three men, two of whom were attired as the others. One, dressed even more gorgeously than any of the others, I took to be the ruler of the realms of Hoss. As he saw u , a look of anger and of surprise passed over his face. He took to his heels, disappearing through another door that we had not seen before. Nothing could prevent us from reaping our reward. We entered the abode of Hoss, the very brilliance of the thing, the splendor, held us dumfounded.

H. S. 1924 Red Ink Red ink is almost as bad as red tape. It sure can cause a lot of trouble to a per- son. I have run up against it a good many times and every time I see it I hate it more and more. It can put itself into a lot of funny shapes but I haven’t seen any of the funny ones yet. The ones I see most of the time are awfully ugly. The other day I got a quizz paper back and of all the red ink spots you ever saw, .they were all rep- resented on that paper. Up at the top of the paper was a great big “O”. I have beer, trying to figure out what that means but I have finally come to the conclusion that it means the weather was cold when the teacher put the grade in her books. Them grade books is another good for nothing convenience. They are the only way the teachers have of remembering your bad grades and forgetting your good ones, if you1 happen to get any good ones. In the middle of the paper and all around the edge were a lot of marks that didn’t mean anything but just covered up all my writing so that I couldn’t tell what I had written. I found one awful cold place on that paper. It said —10, which means ten below zero! Ever since I got that paper back I have had a grudge against red ink and some day I am going to invent a kind of red ink for teach- ers that will fade ouit after you get your papers back. I am going to call it “Non- fading Teacher’s Red Ink.” That will make all the teachers think it is good red ink but all red ink is no good. As I have said before, I hate grade books, too. But they are plum full of red marks and that makes them worse than just common red ink. One day I thought I would buy a bottle of red ink and see if I could make marks like the teacher does, but they wouldn’t sell none to me. They said that they just had enough for the teachers. I don’t see what the world is coming to if they keep on sell- ing red ink to teachers. All of us will be dumbells then for sure. Human Vegetables I Have Known Human vegetables. Sounds rather odd doesn’t it ? But did you ever stop to think about it real seriously ? If you have, can’t you just classify some of your various ac- quaintances under the above mentioned topic? For instance, there’s a head of good cabbage. It’s firm and nicely rounded out. The person resembling this vegetable is the one who stands pat on anything he said and is sort of four-square. These people are fewer than the vegetables they resemble, however. Everyone has seen human potatoes and corn stalks. I’m sure. These are the peo- ple who seem to have enough eyes and ears and so forth to take in everybody’s busi- ness besides their own. They are the ones who put you in such a sweet disposition when certain stories about you or your friends come back to you; stories which you never heard before. BERTHA HOWARD Captivity The bell rings and the inmates of L. H. S. pass to the second period study hall. The windows are open, and the fragrance of spring wafts in upon the breeze to those within. But they are barred from passing beyond those thick, grey walls. Must all their lives be spent in this dreadful place? Is there not some means of escaping? One of them rises and walks softly toward the window as if to leave it all behind, but MacTavish spies him, and he sinks to his seat again in utter despair. Alas! Alas! Two more weeks of captivity, and the Seniors will enter those halls no more, never to have Mac Tavish say in that commanding voice of his, “You may go to Mr. Towler’s office,” or “Report for ninth period class.” But after all, two more weeks are not long, and then they will be released for the summer vacation, and the Seniors, the dignified Seniors never will return!

We re- member the general assemblies, the various activities, the social life, the past in organ- izations, and the fundamentals of school life, the classrooms we frequented. Possibly, the reminiscence relates to us, things other than I have mentioned, for every thing we do at school is part of our life here. Analyzing the things which comprise school life, we find that, after all, the class- room is the most important feature of school. The sentiment, about the importance of activities and organizations in our school life, is all right, as far as it goes. We must have some recreations along with our study, for “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” However, the classroom is a necessary factor, before we can have our ac- tivities and organizations. Thus, the highest position in school life is held by the classroom. The classroom is closely related to the outside world. The school prepares us to meet the problems of life. Not only in the studies does it do this, but in the social life, it becomes a place of training, where we learn how to meet people and how to associate with them. Thus, we see that the school plays the lead in our drama of life. This year has been one of success in La Grande Hi. In fact, the year has been one of the most wonderful the old Hi has ever seen. In athletics, 1923-24 was an out- standing year. We also had a very promising year in scholastic events, both essay and oratorical contests. Around all these successes is woven the web of school spirit which has been stronger and better this year, than any before. One ship drives east, and another drives west With the self-same winds that blow, ‘Tis the set of the sails and not the gales Which tell us the way to go. Like the winds of the sea are the waves of fate As we journey along through life; ‘Tis the set of the soul that decides its goal And not the calm or the strife. —UNKNOWN Team Work In any game, team work is necessary before the game can be won. So it is with our class. Had we not possessed the spirit of team work, we would not have gained success in this, our school game. It is with the thought of our motto, which was ever before us, that we succeeded, as a class, in our Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Sen- ior years. The key note to a motto, “Each for the other, and all for the class,” is team Page Seventy-Seven L. H. S. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□1924 work, without it we should fail. Each member of the class working: for every other member, and all the mem- bers banded together, are diligently striving for the class, as a whole. Thus, we prove the statement, “Each for the other, and all for the class.” True Sportsmanship Not in the sense of “being a sport” from a daredevil point of view when the health and morale is concerned; quite the opposite, courage enough to withstand the tempta- tion of “being a sport” in the gang spirit, though it would 'bring ringing applause from the grand stand. But be a true sport, when you see another fellow go ahead of you, and attain the goal you marked as your own; feel neither bitterness nor envy because he can fill the place in the broader sense of the word than you; give him a boost and not a knock. Be true to your school and those around you. Cooperate with the faculty of your school, in the community you live in. Four things;—Courage, strength, achievement, and not the least of these, a pure heart, signify true sportsmanship. The Aim of Education To strive for true simplicity, to be clear and concrete in thought and speech; to grow in gentleness and hu- mility; to develop our sense of justice; to be truthful, sincere, upright and natural; to have such a respect for our aims and purposes that we dare not slight our work: these are the things we want. —Gertrude Simms Perkins EXCHANGE The exchange of annuals means an exchange in ideas, and we have obtained a num- ber of new and helpful ideas from exchanges. Perhaps our annual will furnish some other school with a new idea. The high schools on our exchange list at present are Wakepia, Pendleton, Oregon; The Nugget, Baker, Oregon; The Sage Brush Echo, Lakeview, Oregon; The Lolomi, akima, Washington; La Reata, Albuquerque, New Mexico; The Dalles, Oregon; The Kickapoogian, Viola, Wisconsin; Sea Breeze, Seaside, Oregon; The Spy, Kenosha, Wis- consin. Page Seventy-Eight ATHLETICS Lester MacTavish, ex-Colorado College star was secured by the La Grande High School as Athletic Coach. Mr. MacTavish was one of Colorado’s most versatile ath- letes, having taken an active part in all major sports. He came to La Grande high- ly recommended by the sport critics of Colorado. During the year, Mr. MacTavish has proven himself to be a real coach, and due to his efforts La Grande has en- joyed a most successful season ip all the branches of athletics. l. h. s. 1924 FOOTBALL September 12th the football squad of La Grande Hi made their initial appearance in the moleskins, some 35 men reported, and practice began in earn- est from that date on. Five or six letter men, were the machine for this years’ team. Captain Metcalf, Sherwood, Kerr, Garity, McClure, Hummelt and Coker were the veterans. At the start it was a problem just what kind of a machine could be mold- ed. The first regular game, played against Union Hi. was a fair exhibition for an early season game. The score was 46-0 for L. H. S. This shows the comparative strength of the two teams. Of course many early season faults could be seen and a lot of work was needed to iron them out. The following Saturday, Milton-Freewater came over with a reputed strong team. Walla Walla having previously defeated them 44-0. La Grande, with a number of substitutes almost equaled Walla Walla’s score, the final marks showing La Grande 41, Milton-Freewater 0. The next game was our Waterloo. Pendleton came over with a well oiled mach- SHERW00D HUMMELT COKER LYNCH Page Eighty METCALF, Captain 1924 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□OOCinDDGnODL. H. s. STAGER McCLURE HUGHES KERR ine. The opening play of the game gave them a break which resulted in a touchdown. This very nearly killed our hopes, although greatly outweighed, we were not out fought. The 23-0 score does not indicate the stubborn fight that La Grande put up against heavy odds. By the time of the Baker game, we were working very smoothly and proceeded to humiliate Baker on their own field by the score of 53-7. This was the first time in many years that Baker had been beaten by La Grande, in their own back yard. The next game was considered to be crucial as Wallowa to that time had not yet lost a game. When the smoke of battle cleared away, the score board showed L. H. S. 26, Wallowa 0. The final game of the season, on Thanksgiving day, brought Enterprise to La Grande. It was a bad day, the field was muddy and very slow, yet La Grande ran up the largest score of the season 79-0 in our favor. 1923 Football Season The team started out rather slow, but ended up by playing steady, consistent football. The back field composed of Captain Metcalf, Quarter-back, Robert Garity Full-back, Captain elect Sherwood Half-back, and Howard Kerr Half-back were a hard combination to beat. They were both offensively and defensively above the average high school oackfield. They had everything that a backfield could want, a good pass- er, a good kicker, and all of them were able to run the ends and hit the line. Sher- Page Eighty-One PRICE WILLIAMS JACOBSON GLASS wood made all Eastern Oregon Halfback and Garity, Fullback second team. Hummelt at center was as steady and consistent a man as there was on the team, and a very accurate passer. The line although fairly light made up for this in fight and aggres- siveness. They outcharged their opponents in practically every game. The guards. Stager and Hughes, though new men and light, played a good brand of football, al- ways fighting and giving their best at all times. Coker and McClure as tackles played a superior brand of ball. They were the bulwarks of the line. Very little ground was made over these two men. Coker did exceptionally well on goals after touchdowns. The ends Price and Williams, were a couple of bantams in weight, but they were all that could be desired ef men playing their positions. They were fast getting down on punts, could handle passes due to their basketball ability, and it was very seldom that they were boxed in and around their ends. Hummelt made Eastern Oregon center and Coker made Eastern Oregon guard. Glass sub-quarter; Jacobson, sub-half and Lynch sub-half made their letters and were nearly as good as the regulars. Glass, although small, was fast and handled punts well, passed accurate and used his head to good advantage. It is expected that next season he will be a star, Jacobson, playing his last year, showed up well, being the fastest man on the squad. Of the letter men few will be back. Captain Sherwood, Kerr, Hummelt and Glass will be the nucleus around which the 1924 team will be built. During the past season, La Grande scored a total of 245 points to her opponents 30. Page Eighty-Two 1924H. S. SECOND TEAM. 1924 Track, 1924 The call for track was issued March 17. This was a little later than usual, due to the fact that the basketball team went to the state championship tournament at Salem. Over sixty men turned out, among; them being; six or seven veterans. The team was handicapped at first because of the lack of a track, but this was in shape in time for the meets. As far as the team goes, it is an unknown quantity. Some of the new men are showing up fairly well and it remains to be seen if they can deliver. But with new men and veterans working hard and giving their best. La Grande should have a fairly strong team to present to the other schools of Eastern Oregon. ft Summary INTER-CLASS MEET. APRIL 5, 1924 FIRST PLACES:—-100 yd. dash.

Page Eighty-Three LYNCH COKER HUMMELT PRICE METCALF Basketball, ’24 La Grande High School had a very succcessful basketball season. Its outstand- ing accomplishments were the winning of the district championship and the trip to Salem. At the first of the season the team was not working very smoothly. A very disastrous branch line trip was taken. After this the team came into its own and played consistent ball the remainder of the season. In the district tournament La Grande had a difficult schedule but showed up well by defeating Joseph 37 to 25, Baker 26 to 25 in probably the hardest fought game of the tournament, and Enterprise, in the finals, 67 to 22. As a result of its winning the championship La Grande went to Salem and competed in the State tournament. Here hard luck hit them. In the very first game they drew Medford, who eventually won the State Championship. They got the jump and before La Grande was able to gather themselves had obtained a lead too great to overcome. In the last half La Grande outplayed Medford. La Grande team showed a smooth, fast working, clean playing unit. They won a name for themselves due to their clean tactics and good sportsmanship. The team was made up mostly of Seniors. Owen Price, Captain, and forward. Page Eighty-Four 1924□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ L. H. S.

During the struggle the young lady, who has flaming red hair, accident- ly set lire to the Foley hotel building. The hotel was burned to the ground in spite of the brave efforts Of the village lire department. The loss is estimated be- tween $.000,224 and $1,449,261.03. No one (By Freight.) 1924.

The GREATEST TRAGEDY IN HIS- TORY OF NATION La Grande, Oregon, March 63—(Special to us by V. Walsinger.) Thousands are dead at La Grande High School as a result of one of the most ter- rific explosions in the history of the world. The explosion occurred in the chemistry laboratory at one-half hour before one o’clock on the day before tomorrow, Mar. was injured except the attempted kidnap- per. It is reported that Coach Lester McTav- ish is hunting for a new lodging place to-day. The fire was started by the dropping of a burning candle during the rumpus. The young lady of the auburn hair was using the candle in a desperate effort to drive off her assailant by singeing his eye-lash- es, when she accidently dropped the candle and started the conflagration. The fire was not started by the young lady’s flaming red hair as was reported this morning. A PROPOSAL TO IRMA As is the mint sauce to the lamb, As is the fried egg to the ham, As is the sugar to the jam, Are you to me. Like pork without the apple sauce, Like hot-cross buns without the cross, Without your love, a total lass, My life would be. Like apple pie without the cheese. Like juicy lamb without the peas, Like lemon ice that would not freeze, Would be my life. You are the syrup to my cake, You are the mushrooms to my steak, And so I beg for both our sake, Oh! Be my wife. From D. main topic brought before the warmers was interrupted by Mrs. Campbell. After assembling again after some quick maneu- vers on the part of members, they continu- ed the meeting. Some dummy Junior happened to make the remark about taking the Seniors prize derbies. Well, after this remark the law was laid down to him by a dignified Senior. So the ignorant Junior decided he would start wearing cutaway collars. The Sophs were not in the big topic, they seemed to stay out of the question. But the green little rooks seemed to think that this would have been cute for them to do, but that for the Seniors it wasn’t funny. Well since there was a great number of Seniors at the meeting they immediately tied the can on him. The second topic was Mr. C. Snow who took it upon himself to disperse us. The bell saved us, and we adjourned until the next intermission. The school board has ordered several new radiators in the lower hall to meet the increasing demand. Some say the new ones are much larger. We hope so, then the danger of someone being trampled to death in the mob will be less. WEATHER REPORT Astrologer __________________Tom Russell Dr. Miles Almanac predicts to-morrow— Fair but hot with slight fall of hail and snow. Dr. Coker’s Almanac says: “It ain’t a gonna rain no moah.” 63, 1924 B. C. Professor Fleshman, whom many claim to be the greatest chemistry shark in the world today, was performing an experiment in the laboratory when a great explosion hurled him through the window. He landed on the top of Table Mountain, but was uninjured except for two minor bruises. As a result of the explosion several thousand of the dead and injured are lying about uncared for. It is estimated that between ten and eleven thousand molecules were literally “blown to atoms” in the ex- plosion. The causes of the tragedy are as yet unknown, but Professor Protazoa is inves- tigating the case and results will probably be announced in our next issue. The living relatives of the dead are the molecules of sulphur, charcoal, and potas- sium nitrate of sulphur which remained on the shelves in the chemistry room. Many beautiful floral offerings of flowers have been received by the survivors of the tragedy. LOST! FOUND! WANTED! WANTED—Date for Junior-Senior banquet. Blonde preferred. Virgil Walsinger.

It tnust have been two o’clock, when he suddenly arose, and removing his hat and coat he informed her that he must go. “I can’t see that it is any of your busi- ness,” said she as the alarm clock struck half past. She arose and rang for the butter. Presently the maid entered. ‘‘Put some more wood on the radiator. Janet, the air is unusually thick this evening.” Then all was quiet except for the snor- ing of the cat in its cradle at the head of the stairs. It seems as if he would never come back. Each hour seems a min- ute. Some one rapped on the door, slow- ly the window opened and she came run- ning in. ‘‘What did you do with it?” he growled. ‘T don’t think so” she replied. ‘‘Why then have you made me suffer for another’s wrong?” he answered. Suddenly she burst into tears and with a cunning smile replied, “So am I.” This was tQO much for him. He struck a match, and lighting his flashlight, fled into the night. All was calm without; silence being broken only by the barking of flying fish, and the occasional quack of a wild poodle-dog. Once in the woods, he forgot his troubles and gave orders to the cook to have side curtains put on the coupe. His chauffeur having been shot later in the morning, he must prepare his own dinner. He had planned hard-boiled egg-plant, but alas, his matches were wet and he could not light he got around it,” came the answer. ‘‘What time did you say it was?” ‘‘About one o’clock as near as I can re- member it, because it was about an hour before 1 got off duty, and I am relieved at two o’clock.” That’s all for you,” said the prosecutor. “Next.” The other witness took the stand. ‘‘What do you know about this?” “I could not get to sleep so I lay still in my bunk listening to the rats when (my cabin is next to that of Bill’s) I heard a noise like something brushing the wall and a little later I heard some one running along the deck but as I have heard such things before I did not think much about it. A little later I dropped off to sleep,” was all that he could supply as evidence. Prosecutor: “Will the accused take the stand?” Enter Halsey, who takes the stand. “Where were you at about one o’clock?” “On deck.” “Did you go into Bill’s cabin?” asked the prosecutor. “I did.” “What for?” “My pipe which I left there.” “Did you kill Bill?” “Na” “Did you have anyone with you?” was the next question. “I was alone.” “Your story does not hold water,” said the prosecutor. “Gentlemen of the jury, I think that there is no doubt who killed THE COYOTE’S HOWL Editor _____________________—P.

OUR MOTTO: “In Onions Is Our Strength” EDGETORIALS A hat is something that is worn on the head in order to protect the scalp from the playful breeze, the pattering rain, the driving hail, the drifting snow, the burn- ing sunshine and the deadly moonshine. It must have a crown, a brim and some- times it has a leather band on the inside and a cloth band on the outside. A derby has a crown, a derby has a brim and a derby has a leather band in- side and a cloth band outside. It is worn to protect the valuable dome of the Senior against the biting blasts of the winter wind, against the cloud bursts of summer, against the bombardments of hail, against the freezing, drifting snow, against the dazzling scorching sunshine and against the mellow moonshine. It is therefore a hat. Quod Erat Demonstadum. A collar is a detachable attachment de- signed to fit on the neck-band of a shirt. It is usually made of soft cloth, although stiff cardboard or celluloid is sometimes used. It is used as a support for the Adams Apple and also for the tie. Now a wing collar is not a collar for it will not fit upon the neck-band of any shirt manufactured. It fits on the. outside of the neck-band. It is never made of soft the electric stove. He was alone in the wilderness without a match. Lighting a fatima, he stretched out on the piano stool for a quiet nap, gazing lazily at the moonlit clouds below. He had not more than closed one eye, when she came burst- ing in on tiptoes. Before she could stop him, she had gathered him up in her man- ly arms, and thus our little fctory comes to a happy end.

It was during the trial of John Hal- sey for the murder of Bill Seadog. Bill had been found dead in his cabin twenty- four hours before. There were twenty odd seamen in the cabin during the trial. Their ages ranged from fourteen to fifty. The room gradually became silent. “Call in the witnesses” came the next order. Two seamen left the room but soon returned with two others. “Mr. Hawkins, please take the stand.” Hawkins com- plied. “What do you know about the al fair,” came from the prosecutor. “Well,” said Hawkins, “yesterday about one o’clock in the morning I was on duty. I had just come down past the cabin. Bill was in when I saw Halsey come down from the lookout. I watched him and he entered the cabin I had just passed. About a half an hour later I saw him slip out of the door and slip off, but I didn’t think anything was wrong so I didn’t go into the cabin. That is all I know.” How did he act when he came from the cabin?” questioned the prosecutor. “Well, he kinda slipped along the side of the cabin, then hurried off as soon as the Hon. Wm. Seadog.” Judge. “The jury will now convene in my cabin for a decision.” Exit jury. The jury enters five minutes later. “What is the verdict,” the Judge asked. One of the jury rises impressively. “Your honor, we find John Halsey guilty of mur- der in the first degree.” Juryman takes his seat. “The verdict of the jury is guilty. As punishment John Halsey must get another parrot for the ship in place of the one he murdered.

Dotty Wade, was kidnapped by the half-breed Cortez Pasha Hat and spirited away to the mountain. Bob Southerlin, foreman of the Bar Nothing Ranch, followed the kid-nappers, was lassoed and taken to the cabin of Cortez, where he was bound to the stove pipe. Cor- tez pinned the ace of hearts over the left side of our hero’s chest, drew his side-can- non and fired. The heart vanished from the card!!!!!! Synopsis II. Bob’s heart was on his right side. He slumped down apparently de- ceased. The outlaw, with two of his crooked colleagues, took the limp form and cast it into an old well. Bob was out of the well, and advanced to the open window of the cabin. On a couch was Dotty Wade asleep. Cortez sat near by. Bob instantly spat with deadly aim at the lone candle across the room. It went out. Leaping through the window he gathered up the sleeping Dotty Wade and made a hasty exit. Dotty screamed. Three hundred grizzly outlaws sprang out of the darkness. An hour later they were hanging feet downward by two long strands of barbed wire from the edge of a cliff. Bob in a hand-over-hand climb, reached the top. He hauled Dotty up. They were both safe! Then suddenly from behind them came a deep voice. Turning they both looked at the leering face of Cortez Pasha Hat!!!! AND NOW TO GO ON Pasha Hat enforced his orders with the use of his shotgun. But hardly had the vic- tims replaced themselves in their former positions, when Pasha Hat became so angry that, without realizing what he had done he pulled the trigger. Snap!! the wire was cut by the swiftly passing bullet. Crash! Bang! down, down, and down, for hundreds of feet, the two lovers fell— Pasha Hat stood gazing upon the scene, grinning all the while. He naturally thought, and gloried in the fact that they would be dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Miracu- lously and skillfully the two falling victims managed to aright themselves, before landing, and swooped down on the sand bar, as birds do in their flight. Cortez Pasha Hat tore his coat and rent his hair with fury. Then giving three shrill whistles, he summoned his band of outlaws together. Following a few directions the gang started in pursuit of their captives. In the meantime Dotty and Bob discovei'ed a raft, which had been washed to the island’s edge by the rivers of water. Using their heads as they should be used the two decided to travel down the river by raft In a few minutes the two had set sail, without any sails and were rapidly journeying down the river, when suddenly they be- held, through the trees on the left bank, an army of grizzly Mexicans, sneaking along and following them. Our hero cried out, “You’re left. Why didn’t you come down on the right side?” At this Pasha Hat responded with words from which blue smoke arose, “Gxmobzia, ttve, swahr, ydue.le nfkhqp!!!!!!” Dotty immediately, if not sooner, reasoned that Bob would save them, without a doubt. They went gliding along on their raft, feeling quite safe and calm. All the while, however, the Mexicans were glaring at the seemingly happy couple, and would exchange among themselves looks of villianous and treacherous joy; for they knew Page One Hundred Three l. h. s. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□-laaaaaaaDaaaaaanDnnnanDD i -.o.'i danger was in store, with a good stock, for them. As the raft passed smoothly over the water’s surface. Dotty looked into the eyes of her hero and exclaimed, “Thou hast saved the day.” Just then, their attention was turned to those on the shore, who had set up a hilar- ious and savage cry. Instantly, Dotty and Bob glanced ahead of them to see what they could see. Jumping up and grasping hold of each other, they together shrieked “FALLS!” Thus in the arms of her hero, Dotty passed on--over the falls. The raft was lift- ed into the air, as it passed over the torrents of water which fell for hundreds of feet below. Down, down, down and down, and then they were held up by the rocks which re- fused to let them continue on their journey. Pasha Hat and his gang quickly came and proceeded to stop the young couple from going further. They were bound together separately, and were made to accompany the outlaws to their favorite Hang-Out. Dotty did not appear to be nervous, for she still contended that Robert Souther- lin would find a way out of this predicament, into which they had been trapped. Little was said, but much was talked of, as they walked on, for Dotty conversed with Bob on her deaf and dumb hands. He in turn did likewise and Cortez Pasha Hat perceived nothing. After much longing and anxious waiting, on Bob’s part, they reached a small cabin- like house. Neither Dotty nor Bob had ever said, thought, or decided upon the kind of house, in which they would start house-keeping. However, here was one to be given to them without their consent and it would cost them nothing. Two hours and three minutes later the scene was all laid. Our heroine and hero were not comfortably situated in their new home and Pasha Hat after placing dynamite under the place, proceeded to blow up................

We often think, as the days go by. That life served us badly, indeed. We long for the future, we’re eager to try What life gives to those who succeed. At last, we reach our goal of dreams, We’re proud, yet a trifle sad; We are eager to leave, yet some how it seems. We’re leaving a friend we’ve had. For that’s what they are, those old school days. With all of their sports and fun; We love them, protect them, remember them all. We cherish them, every one. Page One Hundred Four —LA NITA GASKILL.

YOU OWE IT TO THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH YOU LIVE TO MAKE YOUR HOME ATTRACTIVE AND BEAUTIFUL. When you build a home it will stand there for a life time as a monument to your care or your carelessness. If the home is correctly planned and is dis- tinctive in design, attractive and comfortable, it will stand forever as the center of your affections and around it will cluster a host of happy memories, of which misfortune and adversity can never rob you and which time can never dim nor tarnish. The Home Is the Greatest Savings Bank In the World 8 But even leaving this out of consideration, every man ought to own his own home because there are no '«dividends to compare with comfort and contentment, no re- turns equal to the personal pride felt by the man who owns the home that shelters his little family circle, the most priceless of all his possessions.
