Eberhard G. S. Birnie F. A. Epling L. W. Weeks Or. R. P. Landis The Board of Education under the chairmanship of Mr. Eber- hard has been most constructive this year. The Board is ready and willing to aid us in anything we do that will be uplifting to the High School, and in return they expect us to have our studies and grades on a high standard. They attend all activities of the High School, and visit school regularly. Their great interest and enthusiasm has been shown thru the many improvements they have given us this year. The program has been wide-awake, modern, and progressive. H. E. Williams, Clerk Page Fourteen J. T. Longfellow, B. S.

And glory gained, and evermore to gain. The Knights of the Round Table of L. H. S. look to their great Kings, the administrators, with pure affection and a light of victory and glory attained. The administration is the force that directs the course of the school. It is re- sponsible for the success of the organizations and activities held here. Our vic- tories and glories have all been won and all will be won because of the directing and training of those administrators of our High School days. It is they who have given us the benefits of training, education, and experiences in L. H. S. The School Board is a group of public-spirited men, elected by the people to work for the betterment of the future citizens. It has a clerk to handle its business, and a chairman to take charge. The Superintendent is the general manager and organizer of the schools and teachers. He recommends teachers, and works out their professional standards. The Principal is responsible for the organization of the Student Body. He works with the students in promoting the organizations and activities and makes laws and plans regulating each. Faculty members are appointed as heads of the different departments. Each has a place to fill in the routine of the school. The Dean of Girls is next in rank to the principal and is concerned with the moral and social welfare of the students. Her work is entirely individual, hence much of the good of her services will never be known. Thus the administrators formulate the policies of the school, and execute them, and by so doing they instill within the minds and hearts of the students a broader knowledge of all the aims of life. “Down the long years opening on the future Somewhere far off, they pass,on and on, and go From great to greater, gaining light And their influence grows bringing new light.” —Mabel Schaefer.

Then the knight spake, and related his wondrous adventure, From beginning to end minutely, just as it happened. How he had started on his quest to seek the goal In his first year—just in the gray of the dawn, As the mist uprose from the meadows and hillsides, He spurred his black steed to the northward. And rode over dale and highways with eager delight. A year he traveled and all went smooth and bright Till the eve came when he his report must give To the one who was leader o’er all the knights, Then out of the darkness, suddenly there came A monster with blazing eyes and a cruel smile. They met—they fought—till by the break of day, He had conquered the dragon and won the fray. As he neared the cloister, he became alarmed For there was a quest to be made and he was armed. He was the one who was picked to go at once Now that he had won his first and beginning quest. He was to travel to the east and to the west, And to seek the “Gate of Opportunity” which was Unknown to all. Yet he was the one to find it. He rode and rode, with all his speed till he came To the gate; then lowered himself from his horse, And stood without the gate with great patience, For that was what he must conquer; to succeed His second year of Knighthood now that the first year Which with courage and strength and valor had passed. Another year he waited, but this time at the gate, Patient and hopeful. Then the day came when the gate opened, And he was ushered into another year, which was the third. He was told to go to the nearest and largest cloister And was to take gold to the monasteries and the monks. This errand was placed upon him to test his honor, To see if he was ready and equal to the third test of a knight. He traveled on and on, month after month with very little rest, But still he was climbing on to the goal of a knight. Loyal and faithful, with the gold fastened to his girdle. Then one beautiful May morn in the distance there arose The steeples of the monasteries, not far to the left, He spurred his horse and rode quickly to the nortlrvvest, In less than an hour he had reached the cloister. Had given the gold to the monks, and then spurred to the north. The fourth year of his journey led him to the goal. He had acquired courage, courtesy, charity, chastity, and honor. Nowr he would be pledged a real knight of the cloister, He had passed his examinations and had been pledged To be Knight ’26 of the L. H. S. graduation class. —Corrinne Baker ’26. Page Twenty-nine ♦ • • eeg{Q 0)= o ..ytmlr.. (Ujr (UlctHtf nf ’2lt The class of ’26 was incorporated in September, 1922. The class wishing to be as democratic as possible decided on a form of self-government that would give every member of the class an equal chance to take part. So far we have been successful in working out this plan and have been one of the outstanding classes in the history of L. H. S. 1922- 3 Ted Klein was elected president of the class and was assisted by Jack Coolidge as vice-president. Our motto was “Green but Growing.” We put on the best class pep stunt. Sold most tickets for the Operetta. Tied for first in sale of tickets for the Senior play. Had the least failures of any class in school. Had lettermen in Football and Track. 1923- 4 Ted Klein was again elected president with Wesley Brownton as vice- president and Dorothy Funk as secretary-treasurer. A more fitting motto was decided upon—“Not as an Individual but as a Unit.” Again the class came to and took first in Operetta ticket sale, second in one other point contest. We had four football lettermen and three track men. Played Seniors for basketball championship and lost 23-22. The class was now beginning to take part in other activities, such as Merrymakers, Operetta, and Student Council work. 1924- 5 Wesley Brownton was chosen president. The class put on the best play that any Junior class has ever attempted-— “Daddy Long Legs.” It was accepted by the public and great things were expected next year. We had seven football lettermen, four basketball and more in track. Scholarship was a thing of greater importance now and several Juniors made the Honor Roll. 1925- 6 This year we are leading the classes in number of points. More members are on the Honor Roll. Our play “The Irresistible Marmaduke” was the biggest success of the year. We won both mascot fights. With this good work, our class will be an example for other classes in years to come. More Scniprs are graduating in this class than heretofore in the history of our school, and we feel that the school “will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here.” Page Thirty —George Glass ’26. $Ln$t 50:11 ruth (Lcstnmrnt, Class ttf '2ft We, the Senior class, realizing that our days of usefulness to La Grande High School are about to cease, do hereby leave our many valuables to the Old School.

Page Thirty-two (Elasa of ’£lt How hot the study hall seemed and all the students were buzzing like bees. Deciding to study, I lazily opened the pages of the magazine in front of me. I started as I read the headlines: “Wesley Brownton elected President, and his wife, Margaret Geddes (formerly), Vice-President of the United States.” What magazine could this be? On investigating I found it to be a “La Grande Gazette” of 1940, edited by Merlyn Mayger, a great recorder of history. Eagerly 1 scanned the pages for they contained the history of all of my Classmates. In one column was the heart-rending story of Margaret Baker and Wilson Thurston, who had been engaged. One night on their way to the show they quarreled. Wilson said it was Buck Jones, and Margaret said it was Tom Mix. This proved to be serious, and they called off the engagement. A week later to show her spite Margaret eloped with Homer Schroeder. This broke up Rossie Burns’ plans as they had planned on a double wedding, and she was to become Mrs. Ernest Faus. She felt this was a great injustice to her, so refused to speak to Ernest and turned to Claude Hall for comfort. Broken-hearted Ernest is spend- ing the rest of his life navigating the Grande Ronde River. Miss Adelaide Clark was nominated matron of the great dormitory in Mt. Glenn. She is so very strict with the girls that none of them dare smile at a young man. She says it is foolish, that she never did such a thing in her life. John Larison and Marjorie Warnick were married two years ago, but Grace Cullen, who had a deep love for John, caused a family disturbance, and Marjorie went to travel in the most historical places in Hilgarde. Reverend Norman Jesse is giving a series of lectures on modesty every Sun- day night, while his wife, Pauline, dances and walks the tight wires. Norman Feik is attending Harvard College. He w M receive his degree of M. I), this year. His only trouble is to decide which of his many subjects will help him make the best success of milking cows, for he expects to return to the farm. The last heard of Clara Shepherd, she was with Philip Walnum running a cabaret dancing resort near the Cove pool. Benjamin Nelson was broken-hearted at her wedding, so he persuaded Doris Shannon to travel with him in the Andes in search of chemicals. Murl and Frank broke up in 1936, and he is spending his life in solitude. His literary work has taken the critics by storm, not to mention the public. They can hardly praise him justly for the epic he has written. Alladyne Synhorst has finally settled down and with the money she saved teaching school, she has founded a charity home for children which is the largest in the United States. Daisy Robbs, the prima donna of the world, has sailed to Europe where she sings before royalty. Dorothy Funk, a close rival of the nightingale, is singing her way through the world, and into the hearts of most of the young men who hear her mellow tones. Helene Price, a modern Paderewski, is giving numerous recitals in the Hip- podrome theatre in Telocaset. Gwendolyn Buchanan and Wilma Gaskill, the famous Hula Hula dancers, accompanied by Jack Coolidge, a renowned French and Ukelele instructor, are staging a series of events in Alaska. Page Thirty-three •� '� •• v - • • • ' Myrtle Wilcock and Lula Ansell are complimented greatly on being able to take the place of the Duncan Sisters, and having secured Bob Courtney, the fam- ous football star and coach as Mascot. Claire McKennon has succeeded Mr. Towler as Principal of the L. H. S., and is still making a few announcements. Also giving advice to football boys on “How to take care of dislocated knees.” Marion Miller has gained her heart’s desire to be the only perfect blonde on the screen. At last through shrewd work and the help of Don McKay, the notorious crook and ringleader of the Worthless Oil Speculation Companies, Melvin Parker has charge of Tammany Hall. It is found that Percy Lowell had been the only one of the Class of ’26 to follow the mechanical line. He has discovered that by adding a few pills to water it will serve the purpose of gasoline. He is making rapid progress by trying it out in the motor boats on Hot Lake with Marjorie Maguire. Mabel Schaefer is employed at O. A. C. to instruct students how to obtain A’s and A-t-’s in their subjects, also the secret to speed in typing. Eldora Hansen has become manager of the F. W. Woolworth Company. Deane Wright Glass has become chief librarian at Washington, I). C., and her husband, George, is giving football lessons to the young son of Benjamin Nelson who has attained position as U. S. Postmaster General. Goldie Owen, the world’s greatest basketball player is trying to teach that art to Cora Stanley, Helen Jensen, Anna Ridgeway and Genevieve Nelson, leaders of society. Francis Kelly has finally found her soul mate. She was married last month. She is spending her honeymoon at the Hermitage on Catherine Creek. Judith Brown is a model for the National Cloak Suit Company which is now owned by Ellen Self. Stella Rogers now holds the mayorship of Rome. Marjorie Peebler has just finished her latest book, “How to Make Robbed Hair Grow Long Again.” Many years were spent in gathering material for this book. Mary Masters is a chorus girl in the Follies of Beta Irvin. Donald Hughes and Edith Ebell have leased the Yellow Dog for ten years. Soft drinks are served when Helen Gibson and Louise Leighton, the prohibition officers, are not around. Leland Carbine and Melvin Parker who have been chosen State Traffic Of- ficers, are on the job. “Be careful all you speeders.” Nellie Nelson and Cecile Cade are running a boarding house for all unfortu- nates when they are in the hand of the law, and are unable to pay their fines. Marjorie Condit and Eleanor Cleaver have set out on a journey to search for the Missing Link in the jungles of Lamen Springs. Ruth Winn has gone into the business of marcelling. Lessons are given on “How to Obtain Curly Hair Like Hers.” Corinne Baker and Mildred Mohr are in compction to capture Raymond Keown, who keeps in trim for track by trying to dodge the two of them. Page Thirty-four Claribelle Rhine Bork and Melvin Bork have taken the positions at the L. H. S. formerly filled by Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. Peggy Hess is causing the tourists on the Columbia River Highway great thrills by canoeing over Multnomah Falls. Raymond Griffin and Jessie Burbridge have a large dairy where the freight office used to be and seem to be making good, by selling milk for milk-shakes to trainmen. Harold Cochran has become a notorious juggler and does “hair-raising” stunts each day from the sky-scrapers of Perry. Marguerite Zweifel and Mrs. Alma Prior have been hunting pre-historic ani- mals in the former location of Island City. William Wallis has become a world known mathematician by solving the problem of “Perpetual Motion.” Lenore Ledbetter is now holding the World’s Trophy as Champion Typist. Marguerite Ellis and Margaret Riggs, the “Peroxide Blondes,” have been practising the famous “Charleston Blues,” and are now sailing to join the harem of the second King Tut in Egypt, who is none other than Earl Barnwell. And Elva Turner—I jumped quickly as I spied my own name, and awoke to find Mr. Bennett standing by my desk in the study hall, telling me to stay for an eighth period class.

They trample the dust of soon-forgotten cares And run and shout as though the world were theirs. The world is large, far greater than one knows. And there are many of ambitious will Who rise while others fall: but onward flows The stream of years that lures us on, until A light appears far down the leaden skies And there it shimmers in unclouded light.

Page Thirty-five CLASS OF ’27 Humors The knights their laurels win And go forth proudly, for Unlike the years before they have Accomplished much, and all Are in search of honors high. A black cloth of mourning attached to the front door of the High School gave a hint of the terrible disaster that had taken place. From within there were moans and even shrieks of grief and dire despair. Alas! The Junior Class had been destroyed—literally swept off the earth by a twist of fate. Details were sadly missing but it was known that the whole class while on its annual picnic had been swept into tile seething deadly midst of a tornado and carried away—“Oscar Utts” knows where. For many days all were too grief-stricken to think, but event- ually they became more reconciled and bore up bravely. Search- ing parties were sent out in hope of finding some traces. Not a stone was left unturned—in fact Uncle Him in his search for Ches- ter was not more thorough than these bereaved classmates. While the masculine sex was searching, the girls met together for comfort and consolation. They would talk for hours about the merits of the departed. How the Juniors had always contributed their share of pep and support to the Student Body. How success- ful the Junior Play, “Miss Somebody Else,” had been. How prom- inent in athletics with such stars as Zundel, Smutz, Lyman, Hanks, Berry, Stoddard, Brown, Davis, and others. How the L. H. S. Girls’ Basketball team had been composed of four Juniors- Stange, Camp- bell, Courtney, Nelson, and how the Junior girls had romped away with the class championship in B. B. Just as the girls were waxing eloquent over the merits of their departed classmates, a deafening roar was heard. All rushed to the front steps to behold the triumphant return of the Junior Class. They had completely subdued the cyclone and forced it to convey them to any place they desired. With Betty Cochran, President at the helm, and Eldon Hanks, Vice-President, and Flossie Vedder, Secretary-Treasurer, as chief mechanics, the class had made a tour of Mars, Venus, and other points of interest. They reported that they were full of plans and pep for the last year of their High School days, and hoped to accomplish more than ever before. —Lois Nelson, ’27. Paoe Thirty-seven THE CLASS OE ’28 opljomortfs And the knights went forth With honors few but A small mark on each shield to Designate their deeds— The year 1925 was started by the election of officers. Great care was taken in choosing those best fitted for guiding the Sophomores on the narrow path to success. Thomas Bruce who piloted the Freshman Boat over the many reefs and rocks was re-elected Presi- dent. Richard Geist was chosen for Vice-President, Edna Gekeler for Secretary-Treasurer. The Sophomore Glass had a successful tea with an interesting program for the parents of those in the class. The Class of '28 has been represented remarkably well in school plays, especially the Operetta. Edward Buchanan was leading man, Marion Crowe, the Spanish Toreador. Thomas Bruce was the villain and showed his ability to sing as well as act. Our class contains many boys but has few athletes. Pug Mc- Corkle although quite small came up to the standard of any Junior or Senior in basketball. The girls representing (he Sophomores in basketball are Helma Rasmussen, Hazel Gragg, Pearl Murray, and Marjorie Reynolds who played on the La Grande High School Girls’ Basketball team. She played every game of the season and the Sophomore Class feels proud to have such a good girl athlete in their class. As a whole the Sophomore Class has had a successful season. —Edna Gekeler, ’28. Page Thirty-nine CLASS OF ’29 iFr stjittan He neither wore on helm or shield The golden symbol of his classhood.

After a few days spent in getting settled, we had a meeting to elect our officers. They have been assisted by our livewires, Leah Bramwell and Lawrence Bay, and the class advisors, Miss Bick- ford and Miss Bauman, in the year’s work. The freshman stunt took first place this year and we are now second in the point contest. The freshman tea was given on March 26, in honor of the faculty and mothers of the students. With the assistance of the boys we were able to put on one of the most successful teas of the year. The class is well represented in the activities of the school. Catherine Humphreys and Howard Sargent are on the Student Coun- cil. Many of the 234 freshmen take an active part in music and also in dramatics. More freshmen are on the honor roll this year than usual which, with the other assets, makes the class what it is. —Miriam Fae llanna ’29. o ' V •• • 9.HJZ 5 = gl Alumni (Class sf ’25 Murel Andrew ------- - - Brigham Young University Fred Bauman...............U. of O.

It is the center of all school life; all major and minor activities are supervised by it. The executive staff of the Student Body consists of a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, business manager, and two advisers. The officers are elected from the Student Body. Any student can be nominated for these offices, with the exception of the president who must be an upper classman. The Student Body officers for this year are: President, Wesley Brownton; Vice-President, Irvin Zundel; Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret Geddes; and Business Manager, Claire McKennon.

These students try to raise the morals and general welfare of the students of our High School. The year beginning 1925 and 26, the Student Council endeavored to raise for each individual the high moral standing necessary to be a good student citizen. The Council has succeeded better than ever before in caring for lost property. In general they have been linked more closely with Student Body and faculty. Some study of the work of other councils was made in order to arrive at a better basis for action. In general the council acts largely as a judicial body. Paoe Forty-five «Bga sss-5 °g== cS Uir A.

Page Forty-eight infill • vnix o =- Q ip-IIa s The Hi-Dads is an organization of business men who are aiding the High School in every possible way. Few High Schools in the state are privileged to iiave an organization of this kind. We feel that a great deal of our success in various undertakings has been due to the assistance rendered by the Hi-Dads. This body organized several years ago; and in the short time they have been doing their good work, they have become an indispensable part of the High School. Though the membership has changed and increased since it was first organized, the spirit and service has not changed. An Honor Society sponsored by the Hi-Dads was created this year which has raised the scholastic standing considerable. An Honor Pin is given to each Senior who has remained on the Honor Roll for two semesters. To remain on the Honor Roll he must receive twelve points in the present Honor System. These points are acquired both in High School activities and in studies. The goal of belonging to the Honor Society is well worth attaining and many have been stimulated to greater effort by the standards set in this way. Each year the Hi-Dads have given to all athletic events their one-hundred per cent support. Following the example set by them, the other business men and townspeople have taken a remarkable interest in all High School activities. The Hi-Dads gave a banquet for the football boys, the basketball boys and girls, and the Honor Students. Hi-Dad dances have figured largely in the social ac- tivities of the year. These have been well attended and greatly enjoyed by all. We thank the Hi-Dads for their cooperation and interest. May their work for the school continue and may the school continue to profit by their work as it has done in the past.

He is mistaken for “Marmaduke” and brought to Marmaduke’s home by Pat. The difficulties encountered and the methods of solving them kept the audience alternately in suspense and convulsions of laughter.

They were asked to sing on many and varied occasions. They sang for the Neighborhood Club, the Economic Conference, the Junior and Senior Plays, for a Young People’s Meeting at the Mormon Tabernacle, and for numerous A. G. S. Assemblies. The quality of the singing was superior to previous years. The girls were received enthusiastically wherever they sang. This Spring there will be a Musical Contest held between the local towns. Those entering are Baker, Union, Pendleton, and La Grande. La Grande is hoping to win this contest. Soloists will be entered, also both Girls’ and Boys’ Choruses and Quartets. “Lullaby” by Harker, will be the number sung by the Girls’ Chorus of La Grande.

It is sponsored by the Hi Dads, faculty, and Student Body. The purpose of the Honor Roll is to create interest on the part of the student in his work. To attain the Honor Roll it is necessary to have an average of 90 per cent. A failure in any subject automatically causes the student to be dropped. The decisions are left entirely to the discretion of the faculty. It is also necessary to have a good reputation, and orderly conduct about the school build- ing is required. It also creates interest on the part of the parents and business men. The students whose names are mentioned are: Maurice Baker Leland Carbine Esther Blokland Ivy Charleton Dorothy Brownton Eleanor Cleaver Jessie Burbridge Marjorie Condit Rossic Burns Margaret Danks Velva Cantrel Dorothy Eberhard Franklin Eberhard Ernest Faus Elmer Glenn Miriam Hanna Cornelia Hansen Edna Keffer Lenore Ledbetter Percy Lowell Richard Lyman Cleta McKennon Edwardine Malone Lois Nelson Jennie Nielson Benjamin Oesterlinj Kenneth Owen Melvin Parker Anna Ridgeway Homer Schroeder Dorothy Smith Kenneth Thompson Flossie Vedder Wilson Wallis Dorothy Ann Warnick Louise Wetzel Jean Williams Deane Wright CON D1TIONAL TEM PO R ARY HONOR ROLL Judith Brown Vivian Lark Melvin Bork Ruth McDaniel Alice Cook Claire McKennon David Coughenowcr Lola McWilliams Marian Crowe Sylvia Malone Ruth Durland Bethmyrl Miller Edith Ebell Beulah Schroeder Grace Geibel Clara Shepherd Eunice Gray Mildred Spencer Edwin Kirby PERMANENT HONOR ROLL Wesley Brownton Nellie Nelson Margaret Geddes Helene Price George Glass Mabel Schaefer Murl Gore William Wallis Those Seniors on the permanent Honor Roll, having received their Hi-Dad Honor pins formed a Hi-Dad Honor Society with Mabel Schaefer as President, William Wallis, Vice-President, and Helene Price, Secretary.

Page Fifty-nine � V ■ H.HM. 055 (0$ rhnol Arttuittra In the school days of long ago, when readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rithmetic were the only subjects taught, a few of the nation’s greatest men climbed above their surroundings, and attained great heights on the ladder of success. These men made it possible for the present democracy of the government and for the new system of education. Education today gives sound training of physical, mental, and moral qualities. Everyone realizes that as the hoys and girls of today will be the citizens of tomorrow, they need this early experience. The physical and mental qualities are acquired through athletics and school subjects, while the morality is taught primarily in the home and in the school through various activities. What is better in the character of an individual than good sportsmanship? The person who can play the game of life in a fair and square manner? One who can be a good loser as well as a good winner? By working with others and by coming in contact with small problems, early training is furnished to the individual. With sportsmanship comes cooperation. Activities teach how to work to- gether and pull for the same goal. As cooperation is an important factor in the progress of the world today, it will be invaluable to the citizen of tomorrow. Another trait of activities is responsibility and judgment. The business field is in need of strong, competent, reliable men upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of the work. His judgment must be good, ready, and reliable. And at last, who does not admire a good leader—either in the business world or in politics? Everyone respects a person with initiative. One who is able to lead men in such a way that they will follow him. The state, the nation, and even the world depends entirely upon the leadership of man. Activities help to create and promote this by giving early guidance. Every person may not be- come a leader, but he can be a good follower. That means a law-abiding, honest citizen, and no greater honor than that could be bestowed upqn anyone. There are numerous other things in activities which benefit individuals, but briefly they cause students to work for a goal, and to look for ideals and standards as an example for their lives. Thus—activities train for life. Marl Gore, ’26.

The Mimir is a memorandum book in which they may meet old friends and renew their acquaintanceship with them. Just as our school days are precious, just so are our memories of them. Thus every year the Student Body looks forward to the distribution of the Mimirs and rushes away for autographs. In after years, when looking at this same Mimir, the students will live over again the scenes in L. H. S. -—Mabel Schaefer, ’26. NOT AS AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT AS A UNIT The Senior Class of 1926 has accomplished the work and performed the duties it has had before it because of the unity of the fellow workers. The success of a class depends upon the organization of the class members. Individuals should not work as individuals in class work, but as a unit. Unity is one of the greatest achievements of education and is one of the greatest accomplishments of life. Let this class motto stand before us as we journey along the rough path to success. —Edith Ebell, ’26. THE EXCHANGE The Exchange was created in order that we might obtain suggestions and new ideas from other annuals. In turn, we hope that the MIMIR will be an aid to them in future publications. This year we hope to secure exchanges from the following schools: Baker, Oregon; Astoria, Oregon; Marshfield, Oregon; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Wauwatosa, Wisconsin; Medford, Oregon; Hilo, Hawaii. .—Peggy Hess, Exch. Editor, ’26, Page Sixty-three o v� ... y.nof, o g=- Q THE AIM OF THE MIMIK The aim of the Mimir is to give to the students a knowledge of clean sportsmanship and to impress on their minds the im- portance of the unexcelled teachings due to the interest and de- votion of the faculty in their attitude toward the high school students. A school to gain the respect and the confidence of the public must put forth an unending effort to maintain the highest stand- ards and realize the value of true, school sportsmanship and the priceless jewel of high morality. The Mimir—and this may apply to other school annuals— must in some way carry with it school sentiment. It must also he so true a representative of our school that when the public eye looks deep into its contents it sees nothing sinister or repelling but looks with pleasure and anticipation into the activities which have brought La Grande High School out to the Lime Light and which will continue to do so more and more as the years roll onward into the future. And at last to all of you on the Mimir staff, the teachers, and principals included, let’s make “our Mimir” a record, a marvelous dream for the boys and girls of this year’s enrollment—a memory to look back on in the after while—a Mimir which will excel all others in its fineness of detail, its reminiscences of the past, its glory in sports of the cleanest kind, a revel of wonderful memo- ries of high school life. This Mimir will be ours! And a Mimir of which the class of nineteen twenty-six will be proud. —Marjorie Warnick, ’26.

The atmosphere of the school room was dull and deary. 1 think I had not seen one smile on the face of a student. Several times in the study hall the teacher had called down some boy or girl for talking. When the last period was ended, 1 grabbed my coat and hat from the hall and fairly ran for home. Arriving there 1 threw my books on their shelf and curled up in a soft chair in front of the glowing fire that crackled and sputtered in the fire place. A little magazine I loved so well was near on a table. On the front page these words caught my eye. “From words, sensations, and unnamed desires, we form and make our daily atmosphere.” 1 had heard these words before but how peculiar they sounded. I must have been drowsy for as 1 looked at the page I began to feel something like Alice in Wonderland. The words took different forms and instead of at- mosphere it was tapestry. I shook myself and looked again, it was atmosphere, but now again it was tapestry. The log on the fire popped and burst as down from the chimney came a little man for all the world like Rumple Stilt Skin. “Yes, there you are,” he cried, in his shrill voice, “trying to weave your tapestry from all dark threads.” “That word is not tapestry, it is atmosphere.” “No, it is tapestry and you’re weaving yours from all dark threads. Y’ou can never get by with them. Bright threads are so much prettier. Now you just come with me. It’s only the way you look at things that causes them to be so ugly.” Up the chimney he flew, and without any effort on my part 1 followed. Outside the drapery still hung but how beautifully the blue and gray blended. The rain drops sparkled like a million little diamonds. Straight to the dreary old school house he took me, but what a change. The hum of the voices sounded like music. Very peculiar the students all looked. Each one trailed a long thread, until the very room was a web of fine threads. “Come now,” said the little man, “you must gather these threads to weave your tapestry.” “It was atmosphere,” I said. “Well, call it what you like, but hurry.” Timidly I advanced to gather the threads. They all looked so black. I looked around for the little man. He was on the window sill, standing first on one leg then the other, smiling down at us. As one girl looked up and smiled, her thread turned into gold. Just then the little man waved his magic wand, and I could read every one’s thoughts. All who had bright thoughts had gold threads, the others had black ones. I hurried to gather all the bright threads, but something was holding me back. I looked and it was a long black thread. Written along it was “From words, sensations, and unnamed desires, we form and make our daily atmosphere.” I tugged and it broke. I almost fell—and awoke to find myself nearly out of the chair. —Lucilc Metcalf, ’29. Page Sixty-seven Jjtt Ajjolmjg tn hv Once upon a midday dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten Rome, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As if some one gently rapping, rapping on my ivory dome. “ ’Tis some teacher,” I muttered, “tapping on my ivory dome Only this for studying Rome.” Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, And each separate quoting member wrought his ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the ending of the period now so pending, pending on the Honor Roll. Vainly 1 had sought to borrow from my books, surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the Blue Eyed Lass That rare and radiant booklet which the teachers barred from class— Hopeless here so let it pass. Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, “Miss,” said I, or “Madame, truly your forgiveness I implore But the fact is I was napping and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping on my upper floor, That I scarce was sure I heard you.” Here 1 opened wide my book and every nerve within me shook. Deep into the pages peering, long I sat there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams, no mortal ever dared to dream before. But the silence was unbroken, and my class mates gave no token And only words there spoken were those ghastly words “A Flunk” This I whispered, and an echo murmered back those words—“A Flunk.” “This,” thought I, “is only bunk.” Down into the office turning, all my soul within me burning, And the wrinkled, sad, uncertain rustling of each yellow paper Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before. And so now-, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, “Let me see then why she sent me, and this mystery explore,— T is some joke that she is pulling, only this and nothing more. When my turn came to enter, my heart madly fluttered. Forthwith then I stepped and a few words barely muttered. Unlike the Knights of the Days of Yore I shrank with fear, and looked no more. Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he; But with fiery, blazing eyes, he set his piercing gaze upon me. Now he changed, and by the grave and stern decorum of the countenance he wore, I judged him to be more human, than I had previously thought before. He bade me to be seated and to make myself more affable He spoke to me in words that made me feel more comfortable, And when our conference was ended, it was not as they had told me, For the things therewith he stated were like real nepenthe. Altho my fears w ere ended, as I walked through the door, I swore my vow- to heaven in that word—“Nevermore.” —Wesley Ilrownton, ’26. Page Sixty-eight A MtiUuutter ilaij’s Areant 1-2-3-4 bells. A mad rush through the halls and approximately four hundred fifty students, talking, laughing, chewing gum, reading books, and shooting paper wads arc finally seated and quieted down. “We have with us this afternoon a speaker who will now talk to you on ‘Physical and Moral Education,’ ” was the last of the customary announcements made by Mr. Towler. “Now for an hour of good reading,” blissfully sighed Adelaide Clark, as she settled herself comfortably in her seat. “I never read a better cowboy story! It’s so thrilling. Don’t talk to me, girls.” A few minutes later Adelaide was strolling down a pretty lane in the south- ern part of Arizona when she was suddenly seized by a rough pair of arms, car- ried away and laid across the pommel of a saddle. “Help! Help!! screamed Adelaide but no one heard her clear soprano voice. Away they flew across fences, fields, and canyons until they came to a deep ravine. '1 he walls were so steep that it was impossible to ride down them so Bad Bill, as he was called in that part of the country, tied a rope around Adelaide’s waist and lowered her down the walls of the ravine. Imagine the thrill that Adelaide received when she felt herself going down, down, down, and a mere slip by the man above would send her to be dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Imagine another thrill when, as she was about to touch her toes on the bot- tom of the ravine, a strong pair of masculine arms reached up and took hold of her. As she turned around, whose eyes should she gaze into but John Larison’s of La Grande. Adelaide was so glad to see him that she kissed the big blue L on his white sweater. “But John, look up above,” cried Adelaide. As they looked up, Bad Bill de- scended a few feet from where they were standing. John looked at Bad Bill a few moments and then rushed at him with the true tiger spirit. It looked as if John was getting the worst of it but just as Bad Bill was un- winding his rope to tie John’s hands and feet, and Adelaide was putting her hand- kerchief over her eyes, what should they hear but four hundred lusty voices shouting: “Oski---wo w----wo w Wiskey----wee---wee Holy-Mu ckei--1 Holy Granlei--1 La Grande Hi----wow!” “Adelaide, wake up!” cried Margaret Baker as she shook Adelaide awake. “Jack has been leading some yells, and you’d better yell too because I saw Mr. Towler looking at you.” “Well for cryin’ out loud!” exclaimed Adelaide as she rubbed her eyes. “What have you been yelling?” “Oski---wow-----wow,” replied Margaret,” and we’re ready for some more.” “I’ll tell you my dream after this assembly,” said Adelaide. “Listen, Jack’s saying something.” “All right, everybody up. Let’s give three rail’s for Johnny Larison.” —Mildred Spencer, ’27. I Page Sixty-nine (£r«plti; 3« thp IDumrstir ripurp iUurat Cruelty in the Domestic Science rooms Well now, who says it’s so? I do, for 1 saw it plainly, And I guess I ought to know. Miss Davis beat an egg one day. And then she whipped some cream, And the way she poked the fire Would really make you scream. She hit a nail right on the head, The salt shaker how she shook, And finally she struck a match, I couldn’t hear to look. She pinched the bread dough awful hard, She switched the light on, too, And then she licked the ice cream spoon, I left before she got through. —Joseph Sayre, '28. Wljp 1G. B.

Page Seventy ° =4(Q Mentor Parable A little parable of the garden and the rainbow.—The plants had put forth their leaves and were bursting into hud and blossom. Day by day the gardener watched them with anxious care and tended them with skillful fingers. He knew that the sun’s golden light would fall warmly upon them, that the breezes would sway them gently, that the raindrops would touch them softly. But he also knew dark clouds would arise; and he shuddered as the fierce wind swept through the garden and the storm beat down upon it, causing the tender flowers to how their heads and the leaves to shiver with fear. Thus must their strength be tested. But soon came a rift in the dark wall of clouds, and the sun broke through. The wind fled away and the thunder grew still. Then over the garden there sprang, at first faintly seen, scarcely meeting above, an arch of pale light. Moment by moment it brightened and grew till it spanned the sky—a rainbow complete. Now all was joy in the garden. The gardener laughed! the birds sang; each leaf and flower looked shyly up through its tears, smiling to see its hue re- flected above it. Thus, Seniors, in your garden of life, through days of warm sunshine and fresh flowers the Master-Gardener watches and smiles as he sees fair flowers of hope and endeavor, of ideals and achievement, take root and spring into being. He knows too, full well, dark hours must come and leave proof in strength of its weakness. But after the rage of the storm has passed He will span your sky with prism beams, a pledge of eternal blessing. To you is given the rainbow’s promise; of strength in its springing arch, of beauty and grace; of peace in its blended hues; of joy in its brightness; of hope in its reach; of all that is good in its perfectness. And they say, yet I know not if truly, At the end of the rainbow there lies A heap of gold, a rich treasure Never seen yet by human eyes. But you’ll find, where your best has been given, Where with fruitage your garden gleams, Your lands of heart’s desire Your treasure of golden dreams. —E. V.

Hamlet is real! Shakespeare is earnest! And though your scattered thoughts do roam, “Dust thou art, to dust returnest,” Was not spoken of your dome. No enjoyment, and all sorrow, Is our destined end or way; So we’ll study for tomorrow, Or make up all we lost today. Exams are long, and time is fleeting, And our hearts though stout and brave, Will knock us down with their loud beating, Or march us right into the grave. In this school’s broad field of English, Never feel you’ve had enough, Make a hit with all the teachers, Get right up and do your stuff. Trust no “pony,” howe’er written, Let the dumb-bells carry their own, If they get A’s and you an F, Never bow your head and groan.

Footsteps, that perhaps another, Sailing Shakespeare’s solemn main, A forlorn, and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.

'age Seventy-two ©Ij, lou g l}£xhl “Say, Jack, I sure had one keen dream last night,” said a certain person to a friend of his, while they were walking down the hall. “What was it?” inquired his friend. “Just this, dreamt that sheik Epling was doing his stuff in the days of Cleopatra.” “Ha, Ha! 1 can imagine Golan living in those days. Wonder how he navi- gated around and took all the frocks out riding, lie must have been handicapped without a car.” “Oh, I don’t know. Epling always was an inventive fellow. Well, anyway, in this dream he seemed to have a perfectly good time in attending these river parties in the semi-tropical moonshine.” “Say, you hit it when you said moonshine. But I can’t quite feature Golan making love in a boat.” “And why not? People make love to one another in every other kind of a runabout. Why not in a boat?” “Yes, I know they do, but you know as well as I do that Epling is a lazy cuss. You know also, that if he’s not satisfied with one girl he will kick her out of the car and get one that suits him. Now if he did not like some girl, who had gotten in his boat, he’d have to row clear to the shore to get her out and get another. Well, I can’t feature Epling doing that much work.” “Yes, it’s true that lie’s lazy, but to get back to this dream. It seems that Golan got to envying this Mark Anthony, whom history gives such a write-up. One day when Golan was standing in front of a mirror and doing his daily exercises, he got to comparing himself with Mark. He found out to his satisfaction, that he believed himself to be good looking. In fact, rather handsome. Also, he discovered by saving his bath money, he could dress as well as Mark Anthony. “Pretty good,” replied the listener. “Say, you know in those days instead of wearing flannels, they wore a lot of hardware. When you see a picture of one of them, it makes you think you are looking at an advertisement of the Wool- worth’s Cutlery Department. I sure can see Epling in one of those outfits.” “Well, Epling wrote a note to Cleopatra and said, ‘Cleopatra, old dear, I am giving you a chance of a life time. I will let you go with the best looking and best dressed slick in Egypt or any place else. How about a little ride with me to- night?’ ” “What did Cleo say to that?” “She said, ‘1 am sorry, but I am unable to oblige you.’ ” “Epling said, ‘You are the only one who has ever said that to me.’ ” Just then the teacher in the hall interrupted the conversation. —Marion Crowe, ’28.

Always willing, eager and ready to work, In fact, never knew what it meant to shirk. Of course, he favored her above all the rest And never feared to put her to the test Of carrying the key to the forbidden room, That to all the others had proved such a doom. An urgent message called him away, And he, little knowing how long he would stay, Bade farewell to his bride so fair. As he cast one long glance at her auburn hair. He slipped her the keys with a warning glance. He was off—never thinking that she might perchance Be tempted, as the rest had been tried, To turn the key and peek inside. Alas, as with women it always will be, She, too, satisfied her curiosity. And the next we hear of this lovely queen Is when Blue Beard asks her deed to explain. The bold knight heard of her terrible fate And rushed to her rescue before ’twas too late. He saved her from torture and disgrace, As they hurriedly left at a galloping pace. The modern Bluebeard is with us all way— From the first of September to the last of May. Examinations we call him—and Quizes too, And sometimes he makes all L. H. S. blue. He has seven wives as in days of old, But they can assist and make him turn cold. Their names mean much to the lad and the lass; For without their “push” never could pass. There’s Ambition, Diligence, and Sportsmanship too— Study, Determination and yet a few— Leadership, Ambition and so goes the tale Of seeking to conquer and never to fail. When these become gloomy and weary and worn, And all are discouraged and feeling forlorn; Along comes the knight with his manners so bold And again saves the victim as in days of old. The name of this Knight-—ah! perhaps you have guessed. Because he’s accomplished more than all the rest. “Midnight Oil” we call him; now what say you all? If we strive to succeed, we must “hit the ball.” —Jean Williams, ’27.

Up they walked so boldly, Into the old High School; Oh! Moaned a Freshman member: I feel—well like a fool. When they heard the assembly bell Ring out its gladful song, They looked at each other in silence. Why! It’s the fire gong. They turned out good for the Rally, And did what they were told Although they were a little shy, In years they will be bold. It being the twenty-fifth of November, Before the Baker game “We’ll show the High School who we are, The Freshman class exclaimed. The Rook’s stunt sure was great, As being said, “It took the cake,” Of course we all know that it’s true; Nothing was too good for the White and Blue. —Jennie Dolbow, ’27.

This last year was no exception; it occurred as il will for time eternal to come; the boxes were given. They were truly magnificent affairs. The reddish tint of the expensive red wood from which it was made, shone brightly in the sun-light. Across the top were written in bold characters and evidently, with a pen dipped in silver ink, these words, “Gift of the Public School System from the People of the United States.” These silver letters shone so brightly that one could, if they wished and tried hard enough, see one’s reflection. There was just one queer thing about those little boxes besides the cen- turies that it took to make them available to poor as well as rich children, and that was the complete absence of locks on them. One could open them any time he wished. In place of the lock were neat tiny strings. Ridiculous little strings that would break if one but dared to touch them, let alone if one ac- tually tried to break into the box. As usual all of the students were given these boxes with the admonition that if they should ever neglect the box by forgetting to study, the lid would open and the gift be lost to them. Some were curious to know what would happen if they should really open the trunk-like box. Curious to find that little voice that came from the inside, “Open and See Me, Let Me Out, I am So Pretty, You Could Have So Much Fun, Wouldn’t You Like to See Me?” Some kept their boxes in bright condition by continually studying, for miraculously enough, this was the only polish needed. Each good grade that they received acted as ten strokes of the dust-rag upon the silver decorations. Some attempted the task, tried earnestly to keep their boxes bright, but failed. These were given credit. Their boxes showed no indications of opening up. It was only the boxes of the shamelessly neglectful ones that became in the least alarming. Six weeks passed, and with it a Six Week’s Grade, and the lids of the neglected boxes opened until a pin could have been pushed through. An- other six weeks, and with it another Six Weeks’ grade of flunk, and this time the crack was so wide that one’s finger could easily have been placed between the edges. And then still another six weeks, and with it still another failing Six Weeks’ Grade made the opening so large that it would have supported five large books, and at last the semester ended, a semester of continual failings, and the lid flew wide apart. With this opening there was a great commotion inside, and then out flew hundreds of little pests. So many that it seemed impossible that such a small box could hold them. They were tinted black, their wings were like the shades of night settling upon the neglectful students. They whirred, and they whizzed— long, slim, slimy ones—short, fat, fuzzy ones—medium sized, prickly ones—and those that absolutely defied a poor human’s descriptive powers. They seemed to be divided into two groups; the first, or “Causes” group were labeled with such things as, “Loss of Necessary Sleep,” “Five Parties a Week,” “Two Shows a Week,” “Too Much Note Writing in Study Hall,” “Too Much Fun to Work,” “Absence,” “Too Many Tardies,” etc. The second or “Re- Page Seventy-six suits” group; “Loss of Self-Respect,” “Remorse,” “Former Privileges Taken Away,” “Another Term Over the Same Thing,” “Parent’s and Teacher’s Disapprovals,” and so the list read, countless dozens of results from just one semester’s “flunks.” And then came the triumphal entry of the largest and most gruesome of them all, the Queen. A hundred courtiers to herald her, a thousand or more active members in her kingdom. The queer little creature began to sing in a monoto- nous voice, suggestive of all manner of evils: A gift was given to you, A gift without any look, And you were anxious to see What could he in that little box. You played too much, You got an F for an A-plus, So we’re agoin’ to stay Though you’re not agoin’ to like us. We’ll pester you night and day, We’ll never let you rest, Because you didn’t work. Because you didn’t do your best. We may be unwelcome and ugly Creatures from that queer old trunk, But there’s one good thing, You can not say that we flunked. Oh no! You didn’t know that one grade, One semester’s avoidance of strife, Could, and would, and ever will, Affect you all your life! MORAL: An A-plus a Day Will Keep the Flunks Away. gprutg When spring arrives with birds and bees and dew, The light of day seems brighter to the eye, And the bright sun from blue and cloudless sky Shines down upon mankind with purpose new. The days no more of dull and somber hue Are filled with some new potent charm so high That causes time unnoticed to pass by, And makes us wonder why this vision true. The sun, that orb of radiance and pow’r, Has summoned forth new energy and light. At his command the mild, refreshing shower Joins with his warmth in vitalizing might; All nature’s voices new unite to sing, And welcome in the glad return of spring. —William Wallis, ’26. Page Seventy-seven Hnftrr tlir (Urnas The shining waves lap idly neath the moon The white sea sand of far enchanted isles, And whisper to the palms with luring wiles Of ships, that sail on seas of silver hue. The scent of magnolia from some old lagoon Like draughts of nectar served in crystal vials Now steeps the senses, far across the miles That lead to that Elysian southern lagoon. I hear once more Adventure, calling, calling; I long to sail far o’er the rolling sea To fairer lands of which I dream today, Where birds-of-paradise with gorgeous wing Float bright amid the flowers, and melody Of soft winds blown anon from old Cathay. —Anna Ridgeway, ’26. HERE were dances and parties, great banquets too As the troubadour touched his guitar And strains of gay music were heard from afar. -+•- • (C- S)=° burial Artiuitira Faculty Picnic— A few weeks after the opening of school, the members of the faculty enjoyed a picnic at the foot of Mt. Emily. The party began at 3:30, when the faculty motored to the mountains. The time was spent in hiking and game playing, after which delicious jokes were told over a more delicious lunch consisting of fruit salad, steaks, coffee, buns, and pickles. All returned a little stiff from their exercises, but satisfied with their good time. Parents' Open House— Parents of a great many students assembled at the High School in an Open House meeting. They were entertained in the auditorium by musical numbers, and a speech by Superintendent Longfellow. The parents were later privilegd to talk with the respective teachers about their children. Many parents be- came acquainted and “an enjoyable time was had by all.” A. G. S. Matinees— Every two weeks, if possible, an A. G. S. matinee was held in the gymnasium for the girls of that organization. Special numbers were often featured in the program and music was furnished for dancing by the High School girls. Re- freshments were served, at which times the girls were charged for admission. Every girl welcomed the announcement of an A. G. S. matinee. Football Banquet-— This banquet was held in the rooms of the Domestic Science Building. The decorations were small footballs and blue and white streamers. The place cards were miniature goal posts in blue and white, and the center-piece was a large goal post in the same color. Speeches were made by Coach Bennett, the present captain, and the captain-elect, football men, members of the school hoard, and the Hi-Dads. The yells during the speeches and courses were led by Jack Coolidge. The Banquet was financed by the HiDads and was prepared by the Domestic Science girls under the supervision of Miss Lois Davis. Eighth Grade Matinee— This special matinee was given by the A. G. S. Big Sisters for their Little Sisters and the Eighth A Girls coming into High School the second semester. Welcomes were given by Eleanor Cleaver, Wilma Gaskill, Dorothy Funk, Mar- garet Baker and Daisy Robbs. The program and entertainment were furnished by the Entertainment Committee under the Chairmanship of Daisy Robbs. The music for the dance was furnished by the La Grande “Outcasts.” Dainty refresh- ments were served in the Domestic Science Building. The dance lasted approxi- mately two hours. Pot Luck Supper— This supper was given by the A. G. S. Committee Chairmen for their Sponsors, the members of the School Board, representatives of the Hi-Dads, and members of the Faculty. Welcomes were given by President Eleanor Cleaver and Vice- President Dorothy Funk. Miss Mabel Bennett, Dean of Girls, spoke, as also did Miss Thompson and Miss Vernon, who have an active part in the A. G. S. Misses Vernon, Bennett and Thompson introduced chairmen of their respective com- mittees. Each chairman spoke of her committee aims and plans for the future. Page Eighty 11 V� • • • I.1� lg (l Guests were called on to speak and responded enthusiastically. The entertain- ment was supervised by Daisy Hobbs, and the refreshments by Marian Miller. Basket Ball Banquet— With approximately seventy guests in attendance, the Hi Dad banquet was held in the Domestic Science Building on Wednesday evening, March 17. The Basket Ball girls and boys and the newly-elected members of the Honor Society were the guests of honor. The room was very appropriately decorated with shamrocks and the Domestic Science girls, under the supervision of Misses Davis and Winters, served a bounteous dinner. Dr. McAdory, with his ready wit acted as Chairman, while Mr. Stange’s brilliant oration and Mr. Gilbert’s no less clever speech, kept the guests in a continual uproar. Coach Johnson and Captain Goldie Owen responded for the girls. Coach Bennett and Captain George Glass for the boys, and Mabel Schaefer for the Honor Students. The girls presented Miss Johnson with a beautiful compact as a memento of their enjoyable year together. The Hi-Dads were as usual most charming hosts and the evening proved an altogether pleasant one for all. A. G. S. Christmas Party— On the Friday before the holidays, the A. G. S. girls were given a party in the gymnasium. At the door each was presented with a sprig of holly. After several dances, Christmas Carols were sung by the Girls’ Chorus, after which the danc- ing was resumed. The music was furnished by Lewanna Graham, Barbara Hiatt, and Edna Gekeler. To start the Christmas feasting, candy canes and oranges were passed out to the girls. Each girl went away with the true Christmas spirit. Hi-Dad Dances— To instill better cooperation among the students and to preserve the stand- ards of the school, the La Grande Hi Dads sponsored and financed dances at the Elks’ Temple at which only High School students were admitted. Good music had a great deal to do with the enjoyable evenings which the students had at their Hi Dad Dances. Mothers’ Teas— Consecutively, the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman girls honored their mothers at teas which lasted approximately two hours. They were first entertained in the High School Auditorium by a program, after which the daugh- ters directed their mothers through the building and to the adjoining Domestic Science Buliding, where refreshments were served. The mothers gained a better understanding of the work and accomplishments of their girls, and also became acquainted not only with the girls’ work but with their teachers. I!■ i'j Junior Play Cast Party— Two weeks following the presentation of “Miss Somebody Else,” Misses Ben- nett, Thompson, and Dillon entertained the cast. During the evening games were played and, at nine o’clock, a delightful lunch was served. The table was artistically decorated in purple and gold to bring out the class spirit. An added enjoyment was a clever scheme by which each member of the cast located his place at the table. Senior Picnic— In the early part of May, the annual Senior picnic was held. Due to un- usually good management, the location for the fiesta by far surpassed any pre- Page Eighty-one ceeding one. On account of the disappointment from rain on their Junior picnic, each Senior worked doubly hard to have the best picnic available, and their work was well rewarded. Round Table— In honor of the O. A. C. Dean of Girls, Mrs. Jameson, the A. G. S. Chairmen and sponsors planned a Round Table Discussion. It was held the first of March in Honan Hall. Various girls of the A. G. S. told of their different departments in the organization. Mrs. Jameson, who is a great friend of the girls, gave many interesting suggestions, some of which have been carried out successfully by the girls. Reception for O. A. C. Dean of Girls— A delightful reception was held in the High School Auditorium for Mrs. Jameson, the O. A. C. Dean of Girls. Various girls of the A. G. S. planned the affair, at which a program was successfully carried out and later tea was served. Mrs. Jameson gave a very educational and interesting talk to the girls, and one from which the girls were greatly benefited. Senior Play Cast Party— Members of the Senior Play, the Directors and other managers gave a de- licious three course dinner for Miss Bennett, Miss Thompson, and Miss Dillon, at the home of George Glass. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, creamed peas in patty shells, creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, fruit salad, brick ice cream, coffee and rolls. The class colors of green and gold were attractively worked out for a color scheme. The dinner added a finishing touch to the success of the play, as those who attended had a delightful time. Mothers’ Reception— The reception for the members of the graduating class was held immediately after the commencement exercises in the Domestic Science building. Only immediate friends and relatives of the Seniors were invited. This informal af- fair added greatly to the farewell of the class from High School. Junior-Senior Banquet— The idea of an old-fashioned garden was carried out when the Juniors en- tertained the Seniors at the annual banquet, May 1. A three-course banquet was served with covers laid for two hundred people. Bouquets of purple lilacs and miniature wells formed the centerpieces. Twenty sophomore girls, in old-fashioned dress, served. Betty Cochran, Junior class president, presided as toast-mistress. The pro- gram subject was “The Garden.” Wesley Brownton, president of the Student Body, responded with a talk, “The Gardener,” J. T. Longfellow, superintendent, gave a toast entitled “Beautifying the Garden.” Miss Eleanor Vernon, Senior class adviser, had as her subject “The Rainbow.,’ E. I). Towler, principal, talked about “The Harvest.” C. R. Eberhard, chairman of the school board, responded to the toast “Final Success.” George Glass, Senior class president, gave the toast, “Flowers and Cabbages,” and presented the mascot to Irvin Zundel, president-elect of the student body. During the banquet, Irvin Zundel played a violin solo, Lois Nelson a piano solo, and Trillian Ashby gave a reading. After the banquet, dancing was enjoyed in the gymnasium where Jack Hiatt’s orchestra supplied the music. The following Juniors superintended the affair: Dorothy Ann Warnick, Dor- othy Eberhard, Gertrude Scranton, Elmer Glenn, and Beulah Schroeder. Paoe Elohty-two Full many long hours these knights do tilt. Ne’er afraid, and e’er full of good sport. Whatever the task, they ne’er do shirk.

SionthaU The La Grande team was composed of seventeen lettermen and several good subs. Of this number ten will be back next year. Al- though the loss of six veterans will be felt, there are excellent pros- pects for a winning team next year. Coach “Scooty” Dutton gives the following remarks about the team: Captain Richard Strand played the best game of the season at Baker. His fight kept the whole team going. Bat Cullen’s fight was an inspiration to the rest of the team. He earned a position on the Eastern Oregon all star team. Landry—T-Bo always stopped them on his side of the line. He was also picked as Eastern Oregon guard. Smutz was the best possible choice for captain of the 1926 team. Hughes—Tiny was injured before the season started and was not able to play his best brand of ball on that account. He had more fight than most big men. Courtney—This was Bob’s first year but he was good and his loss will be felt next year. Zundel—Tubby should be good next year. He played a steady, heady game all year. Larison started out the season in good shape, but did not keep up the pace. Charleton should develop into a star end next year. He has lots of fight hut is still green. tilass played good heady games—always dependable. McKennon-—Injuries were the only thing that kept Kelly from being the big star of the season. Price should he good next year. His punting and end runs arc his best features. Faus—This is Ernie’s last year and he played stellar ball at all times. He always gained yardage when called on to carry the ball. The substitutes will all be back next year except Wallis who graduates. Wallis was good but inexperienced and there are many good prospects-—Brown, Lyman, Hanks, Sherwood, Regain, and Bruce. SUMMARY 11 s 36 Wallowa 0 if 12 Enterprise 0 ft 0 Boise 14 a 35 Imbler () a 3 Union 6 ft 19 Pendleton 13 tt II Baker 40 Saakrthall La Grande completed a more successful season in basketball than had been expected of its team. Captain Glass and Keown were the seasoned players of the entire squad. Lyman, Zundel, Hanks, and Larison were first year letter men, but lacked the steadiness of the older men. However, Lyman developed into the best center in Eastern Oregon and was chosen as such as the Union tournament. When he had his eye on the basket he would beat any team. He outjumped every man who played against him, and should develop into the best man in the state next year. Zundel at floor guard was chosen on all-tournament second team. He started the season with a bang playing excellent ball, always thinking of the team play and passing the ball to the team- mate who was in a position to score. Hanks proved his worth in the Joseph game at Joseph. This was his first entire game of the sea- son, but he guarded the La Grande goal so well that the enemy secured but two field baskets off his stellar work. Hanks should be a mainstay on the La Grande team next season. Larison played real basketball at times. He began the season at guard and played center through parts of games. Berry was the find of the season. Playing back guard in the district tournament he was the stumbling block to every offense of the enemy. He had the ability to quickly diagnose a play and break it before it was thoroughly formed. Stoddard made his letter at forward in the district tournament. He is big and rangy anti handles the ball well. He should be in great form next season. Keown was a man upon whom any coach might depend. He was in the game.every second doing his very best. Keown’s winning basket against Joseph will long be remembered. Captain Glass was the scrappiest man on the team. No game was ever lost to him until the final gun. He always considered the play which would gain the most for his team. He will certainly be missed next year. —Coach Bennett.

They came thru with colors flying, winning the Eastern Oregon Championship from their opponents. Although all the girls played the games splendidly, perhaps the outstanding stars were Lena Campbell and Captain Goldie Owen. Lena showed her ability never to miss a basket while Goldie exhibited a speed which made one fairly dizzy to watch her.

Page Eighty-eight JErark La Grande High School defeated Union at Union in its first track and field meet, April 10, by a score of 96 to 52. The track was soft from heavy rains and the athletes were unable to equal any of the standing Eastern Oregon records. However, in the field events some fine efforts were produced, Lyman winning the pole vault at 10 ft. 5 in., Zundel the high jump at 5 ft. 6 in., Keown the javelin with a throw of 139 ft. Captain Sherwood twined in an ex- cellent performance for his team being high point man with 19% counters and breaking the Eastern Oregon record of 111 ft. 5 in. in the discus with a heave of 114 ft. La Grande suffered its defeat in a dual meet with Baker at Baker. Sickness prevented Captain Sherwood entering any track events, but he gathered 10 points for his team by taking the shot and discus. The weather was ideal for a championship meet and many records were threatened, one being broken. Smutz, running the 440 for La Grande, broke the Eastern Oregon record of 531 5 by covering that distance in 53 flat. McCord of Baker ran the 100 in 10 1 5 seconds. Keown of La Grande increased his javelin mark to 142 ft. 2 in. easily winning that event. Davis won the 880 for La Grande in the fast time of 2:09. At the finish of the javelin throw the score stood La Grande 71%, Baker 70%. Sherwood being unable to run the relay lost La Grande the relay which was the deciding event of the meet. Final score, Baker 75%, La Grande, 71%. McCord of Baker was high point man with 21% points. Zundel of La Grande was second with 16% points. By a very decisive score, La Grande High won the Union County track meet, Monday, May 8. The meet was originally booked for Union, on the previous Saturday but was postponed on account of rain. At the time of going to press La Grande is doped to win the Eastern Oregon scholastic at Pendleton, May 15th. —Coach Bennett. Page Eighty-nine Rose between two thorns.

Page Ninety-seven GUARANTEED TO DISCLOSE ALL PEOPLE’S PET SECRETS PRINTS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH EV EN THOUGH P AINFUL DIZZY DIPPER MISS BAUMAN LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER RECEIVES AWARD FROM CHICAGO TELLS OF INSPIRATION Miss Bauman, teacher in La Grande High School, has just received from Chicago Art School division 1.0000.0 that she has won fifty dollars as a reward of winning the 99th {dace in the contest that they held there. When our reporters reviewed her this morning she could do nothing hut drop her eyes modestly and admit the marvelous feat. We congratulated her immensely on her success. A marvelous five inch statue will be erected in her honor in Gangloff Park, which is well known by the students of the school. She stated tluit she would not be secretive in her inspiration or the picture she painted, she said that she wished to inspire every boy and girl to do his duty. She told of how, although disliking sewing greatly, she sat down in front of her sewing basket and daily sewed patches on the heels of her hose. It was while she was engaged in this housewifely pursuit that she pricked her finger. Instantly the blood arose to the surface. Screaming with pain she dashed h«r finger against a piece of paper several times thinking that if she could wipe off the blood the pain would disappear. When at the end of an hour she could look at the pin prick without becoming faint—she noticed that th - blood on the paper had a peculiar outline and the more she gazed ujam her work the more fascinated she became with her genius. She immediately mailed a copy to the Chicago Art School. Fifty dollars was her award not for the picture but for the marvelous new red ink. —C. McK.

G. H. S. STUDENT BODY La Grande, Ore., April 299, 192«. It is reported that Miss Pauline Payton, popular student of the La Grande High School is seriously ill suffering from an illness and she is confined to her bed today. The doctor has allowed no one to see her up to this time. For although the crisis is passed, there is a danger of a relapse. Science had found us no “complex” name for the special malady except a nervous breakdown from doing ten perfect copies of typing as a punishment of erasing in Miss Davis’ class. The disease is said to be quite fatal by authorities. It seizes one at unexpected moments, their head swims, realistic typewriters pound their keys, endlessly. The victim seems unable to drown the noise and finally in- sanity sets in. However, this disease is not contagious to any only students in the typing class, and it is said that for any one that refrains from erasing there is no danger. But the prevention must be carefully fol- lowed to the last detail. MISS THOMPSON DISAPPOINTED LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER RECE1V E S DIS A P POIN T M E N T Emits scream and faints while Ren Lyon receives his seventh wife in show, “Bluebeard’s Seven Wives.” Miss Florence Thompson, local high school teacher, is today confined to her bed as a result to a severe disappointment. At the time of her attack she was in the theatre attending with Miss Johnson, another teacher in the same school. She watched with a fail- amount of calmness as Ben Lyons received one wife after another. But the moment he received the seventh into his arms she arose with a heart rending shriek and fell forward. It is reported that with the aid of a box of candy from Mr. Bennett she will recover from her illness in time to be in school next Monday. ENGAGED, MISS ADELAIDE CLARK HAS CEASED CHEWING GUM AS A RESULT OF LOVE. Miss Adelaide Clark of this city has refused to verify this announcement. However, hints have been scattered rather promiscuously. It is not known defi- nitely with whom she is engaged but that is a small matter. An unsigned note in our mail said that his eyes were dark or else sky green or brown like the sugar maple in the spring before it has been refined. And that he wears a hair cut. And that he has two arms and two legs. Outside of this little is known. Nevertheless we’ll bet it is true, else why has she ceased chewing gum so happily? PREVIOUS CAREER Miss Clark has taken several prizes in Gum Chew- ing contests. For years and years she has practiced and only now is she realizing the rewards of her efforts. Although at times Miss Clark ran appear quite dignified when she conceals her gum in the roof of her mouth to baffle the teachers of the La Grande High School. It is quite a sight to see her chewing gum in such an artistic way, for she is quite an artist. Miss Clark also has several secret places in which to hide the marvelous cud, when 6he feels the eyes of her Dramatic teachers upon her she conceals it in the palm of her hand or if Miss Vernon suspects her she {daces it under the seat or else back of her ear. For proof some may be found in these various places if one would care to take the trouble to look. —C. McK. ’27. Editor of Dizzy Dipper—Adelaide Clarke. Assistant Editor—Cleta McKennon.

DIZZY DIPPER RED PLAGUE RAGES CUPID OUT WITH IIIS BOW-----MANY HEARTS FALL VICTIMS With Spring, girls’ hearts begin to thaw from January cold to summer warmth, as a result many hearts have fallen victims to cupid’s efforts. The entire school is quarantined. Students are frightened as one after one of their numbers are stabbed with the fatal sickness. They look with fear as they go around the comers for who can say what will be there? If an eye meets theirs may not all be over? What is the use of struggling against it? Why the victims even say that love is pleasant! Nevertheless this paper ad- vocates eye washes for twinkling eyes, rubber boots for dancing feet, straighteners for arms prone to encircle perfect thirty-sixes and bitter liniment for cupid bow lips. IDDITORIOLS JOHN LARISON AND THOMAS BRUCK HAVE A PATENT ON THEIR NEW INVENTION Johnny Larison and Tommy Bruce have invented a new fountain pen and from all appearances it is quite remarkable. It learns civics, English, and foreign languages, and Mr. Larison tells us that it learns commercial arith- metic. There is a place in the top of the pen to put gum should the faculty become too strict on this subject. Mr. Larison and Mr. Bruce have informed us that they are going to erect a factory in order to fill the great demand. M. C. ’26. LEARN TO PLAY JAZZ IN THREE DAYS Professor Golan Epling—student of Pro.

How can I become cured of these?” ARE WOULD. “Dear Mr. Are Would: My only suggestion for your per- manent cure is that you swallow a bottle of arsenic whenever you feel one of these heart attacks coming upon you. If you should happen to live through this please write me and I’ll investigate and see if I can find a more deadly cure.” “Miss Cleta: How may I be sure when I am in love? There is so much counterfeiting going on—what tests must I put them to in order to be sure when I have the real thing?” DIZZY DOLL. Dizzy Doll: If after watching your “lovers” cat cold soup, lose their collar buttons, cut their fingers, and kiss other girls, you still love them, you may be sure that it is the real thing. “Another suggestion: Try being less dizzy and try your daily dozen. The weight you bear upon your pen in writing suggests that you are over weight. Quality not quantity makes a hit with the boys.” WANT ADS. Wanted—A new flavor of gum. I have tried everything on the market and of all these there is none which satisfies—that certain feeling. If a new one is found please inform—Eldora Hansen.

NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE COMPACTS LOW MISS ebell’s statistics reveal alarming M HITHERTO UNEXPECTED FACTS Miss Edith Ehell, a girl in the student body highly interested in the welfare of the school some time ago gathered authentic information concerning the number of compacts in the school. She reports that girls in the student body are 300 Possessors of the beauty aid......................298 Out of the 298 Those who leave theirs at home ............. 80 Those who leave theirs in desks or coats... 59 Those loaned and never returned................. 35 Those who break theirs ......................... 35 Those who lose theirs ..................... 35 (Most girls come in this class) -------- TOTAL ....................255 This haves only 5 eligible compacts out of the original 290. This cancels all former hazards as to the subject, there can no longer be any doubt. The student. Miss Ehell, will be rewarded with a handsome hand engraved tin star, as a token of the school’s apprecia- tion for her efforts. C. McK. ’27. CHURCH NOTICES Rev. George Glass of the Pres. Church of this city announces that there will be a sacred cantata given at the church Friday night. This will probably be one of the city’s most prominent musical events in a long time. Every one is invited. It is given under the direction of Miss Daisy Robbs. R -v. Waymnn Scott of the First Methodist Church of this city announces that he will give a special ser- mon Sunday morning at 11 o’clock on the “evils of the younger generation.” We are sure that the young peo- ple will attend this sermon. DIZZY DIPPER NEW ELEMENT DISCOVERED (By Earl Barnwell) (With apologies to Will Rogers) N A M E—Woman. SYMBOL—Member of Human Family. OCCURANCE—This freak element can be found wherever MAN exists. It seldom occurs in the free or native state: is always accompanied. Quality depends upon condition of surroundings—with the exception of Reno, Nevada, the combined state is predominant. (If not in this state, it tries vainly to be so). PHYSICAL PECULIARITIES—All colors and sixes but appears in a disguised condition and is bard to tell from other members of masculine sex. Facial surface has covering of paint and powder, generally of unknown composition, has queer property of leaving face at night or early morning and coining back next day. It boils at nothing and may freeze instantly. However, if treated with proper care and consideration may melt and become quite plastic. Very bitter if not used correctly. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES—Possesses a GREAT af- finity for gold, silver, platinum and precious stones. Has violent reaction when left alone by men. Quite absorbent in case of expensive foods at any time. In- soluble in liquids but its activity is increased greatly when saturated by a spirit solution, say 00%. Some- times yields to pressure. (If gently applied). Turns green if placed near better appearing sample. Ages rapidly. Fresh varities have magnetic attraction whcih. however, is not permanent. CONCLUSION—Highly explosive and likely to be dangerous in inexperienced bands. GO TO KEOWN’S BARBER SHOP for the latest hair cuts. We have performed on Lois Nelson. Katherine Humphreys.

Miss Clark was sent home because no typewriter was in a conditoin to be used. She discovered at 8 o’clock yesterday morning that a screw was missing on her typewriter. It is a great credit to her presence of mind that in the crisis she did not faint but ns calmly as she could walked to the office and handed a fully typed copy of all the details of the dastardly deed to the school's greatest detectives, Claire McKennon and Tom Bruce. Within an hour and a half the two arrived at the scene of the crime and after another three hours investigation reported much progress. They stated that if they could skip all their morning and afternoon classes they might be able to solve the mystery. At 3:10 they handed in the following remarkable facts. The criminal was more than three feet tall because the typewriters are other- wise too high for him to have reached. He was well acquainted with typewriters or he could never have found the bidden screw to steal. It is a queer coinci- dence that although difficult to find, the screw made the typewriter unworkable, that Miss Clark is in the first period class and that there are no other typewriters vacant, that there was a yellow liair near by like Miss Adelaide’s, that she doesn't ordinarily come at eight o’clock to make up work, and that she happened to want to go to town that morning. But then until we are sure we will not mention any likely criminals in the matter—but Miss Adelaide did want to go to town! ATTENTION GIRLS!

Hob Souther- lin of the Bar Nothing Ranch followed and was shot in the left side by the. desperadoes. Hob’s heart was on his right side. He was dropped in a well, but escaped in time to rescue Dotty from the cabin. They escaped from three hundred outlaws by climbing a cliff, only to be faced by Cortez Pasha Hat. He cut the wire by which the two lovers had climbed up the cliff, and they fell hundreds of feet. They escaped in a raft, went over some falls and landed on the rocks below. Pasha Hat had them placed in a cabin which he blew up. The cabin blew up, but the floor which they were on floated down the canyon and landed on a rock. They escaped from the half-breed again by taking the motor- cycle which a bootlegger left. They used liquor for gas and the locoed mustang threw them off into the Grand Canyon. THE DEATH CHAMBER Synopsis the Second:— Our hero, not to be foiled by the seemingly unconquerable Pasha Hat, has escaped via motorcycle from the villians’ den where he was being held for ran- som. The motor that our dashing Bob Southerlin was using had been previously treated by the cowardly Pasha Hat Cortez, and balked at the edge of a great cliff. “What will I do?” though Bob. “The thundering hoofs of Cortez’s men are getting closer.” Now when Bob began to think—a thing that he seldom had to do—things came thick and fast. Three times he tried and three times he failed, but on the fourth attempt the motor thundered across the yawning chasm. As he neared the other edge of the cliff it again balked. Down—down—to swirling rapids below. “Bob! Bob!” shouted the fair maiden, who had been wildly clutching his manly arms. “Do something quick or we will be dashed to death in the dreaded Grande Ronde River.” “Have faith woman, and calm thyself. Am I not to be trusted?” returned Bob, as he slammed the machine into reverse and rapidly ascended to the other side, thus leaving Pasha Hat’s men cursing on the other side. But the motor crashed into one of the Giant Bonnie Jesse’s shoes and was wrecked. “Thoughtless one!” muttered Bob, as he threw' the massive shoe into the air. Soon, however, he found an abandoned airplane, and knew that they were saved. After days of flying, they landed in the large metropolis of Summerville. “At last we are safe,” quoth the fair maiden, “and we can be married at once.” “Fairest, your wish will be granted, since I do no longer care to be a mem- ber of the royal order of Bachelor Knights—I depart at once to make the neces- sary arrangements. But in the Meantime:— Pasha Hat, finding no trace of his prey, has also arrived in Summerville, where his band of thieves are operating. Page One Hundred Two m r.y ••'3� «wir- o Enter the villian’s First Lieutenant —Merlyn Mayger—who is leader of the gang in Summerville. Hard as nails and so tough he shaves with a blow torch, and eats concrete with nitroglycerin for syrup three times a day—look out!! “Say, boss, I’ve just spotted that sissy Bob Southerlin (alias Don Hughes, who has been traveling as Bob for reasons of his own until this time). He was going into the court house, and unless I miss my guess he’s up to no good for us.” “Silence, dumb creature, don’t you know the law is on us?” snapped Cortez. “Say, don’t you get hard with me, big boy—course I wouldn’t tell anybody that your name is really Wesley Brownton, but I’ve got you cinched and might squeal in a pinch.” “You low life,” Brownton came back, “I know plenty on you, too, and what I mean, I’d squeal, too, in less than a pinch, so pipe down quick before I get mad.” “Well, we are getting on,” sang out Terrible Bat Cullen, as he rushed in. “I’ve just robbed a bank and killed three men at the court house.” “What ho! Fine and nobly done, my lad. And you, scum Maygar, have you any witnesses who saw Southerlin enter the bank? If you have, we’ve got him by the left leg. We’ll cinch that baby for life.” “Ain’t life rosy?” whistled Bat. “1 never liked that guy, nohow. He only drinks cocktails, and I like white mule and lye water.” Well, Bob is of course put on trial for murder, and is convicted. He is to be electrocuted at six o’clock, Friday the thirteenth, the day of his marriage. As Bob left the court room he moaned, “Must I die without being able to prove my innocence—not that I care for life itself, but think of my poor Adelaide. She will be alone in this world with no one but Uncle Doc to help her. Not that I fear death, but it is also the principle connected therewith that must be con- sidered with the utmost responsibility.” At five thirty-five Bob is led into the death cell where he confesses his real name as being Donald Hughes and relates that he once had been caught shooting snipes and had travelled incognito ever since. In the death chamber at five thirty-five, he sat calmly down in the chair and awaited his doom. The wires were connected. Everything was set for the execution. Ten seconds more to live. A man was about to pull the switch. His hand went steadily toward it—two fingers touched the wooden handle—he pulled it— and— WHAT WILL HAPPEN????? The motor begins to buzz. Death is near!!
