If this book can, in later years, recall this develop- ment intermingled with pleasant mem- ories of LaGrande High School, it will have achieved its end. (Cuntrntu I (AbmxniBtrniimt nub Clnssrs.

AtominxstnttiiJu nuit dlLnssi's From the day of La Grande's first public school to the present is not an ex- ceedingly long span as time is measured, but the period is marked with almost unbelievable changes and advancement. Church life has not materially changed; commerce is only more voluminous and rapid; social life has simply changed in certain aspects; athletic diversion has much the same old twang; human nature is pretty much unchanged—but not so with Education. Parents and pupils in con- tact with La Grande’s school system as now constituted embracing as it does virtually all that is best in the newest subjects, methods, and equipment—can scarcely comprehend that when education was started in the city, reading and spelling comprised the curriculum, while discarded newspapers and a lone “reader” constituted the sources of learning. The development of education from that condition to the present perfection reads more like the manipulation of a mystic wand than the accomplishments of public desire and human direction. La Grande’s first school was not a public institution, but a private venture which the citizenry of 1863 quickly seized upon as the best method of giving their youngsters all possible advantages. Provedence M. Currey, grandfather of George H. Currey and Fred B. Currey, La Grande business men of today, opened such an institution in his own home on B Street, charging $10.00 as the annual tuition. From discarded newspapers that occasionally found their way here and from a reader brought across the plains by Joe Baker, Mr. Currey proceeded to teach reading and spelling. That was all, except the lessons of manhood and honor that radiated from the principal. It was a democratic institution, this class and its teacher; for when storms raged without, teacher and pupils cooked their lunch at the Currey fireplace, ate heartily and happily of what might be at hand, and then returned to their lessons. F'urther proof that this episode was not ages and ages ago, lies in the fact that the first class La Grande had contained such well known personages as the late Joe Baker, the last Sarah Bussell Chaplin, Wil- liam Bussell who today is passing the autumn of his life in this city, Ada Brown Bogers, a resident of Corvallis, and her sister Mrs. Esther Brown Ellsworth. Mrs. Ellsworth is still an honored citizen of Union county and a frequent visitor in our own city that once bore the name of Brownsville in honor of her father, Ben Brown, who was one of the first settlers and who, until his death in 1909 was a revered pioneer of La Grande. These conditions prevailed for a few years and then a public school became a necessity. A building was erected. Taxpayers decreed it should be perched on a little knoll near the mouth of Deal’s canyon and that it should be white. F'or many years this crude structure served its purpose and met the needs of the com- munity. As population increased, private homes were employed to handle the overflow. One such was the present L. H. Bussell home, the upstairs of which became an improvised school room. Eventually these makeshifts proved wholly inadequate and in 1886 the dis- trict erected a building that was the cynosure of all strangers who saw it, a struc- ture that surely would care for school demands in years to come. It was this structure that we of later years refer to in language perhaps disrespectful when we say “The Old White School.” It was located on Second street near our pres- ent athletic field. Its curriculum had broadened to include grammar courses and three years of high school studies. Crude, as viewed in the eyes of present day folk, it nevertheless was the foundry that moulded much of the character of La Grande’s present day middle-aged citizenship. Those high types of future mothers and fathers, professional and business men, poured out of its doors at commencement time were due to the wonderful personalities that permeated the institution. Such teachers as Ella Weathers Bussell, Carry Wellman, Dora Schilke, Olive Slater, Bertha Slater Smith, Bess Geibel, Nellie Stevens, Jeanette Clark Biggs, (7) Lillian and Grace McCallister, Mrs. E. A. Ivanhoe, Miss Violet Savanah, and others, moulded future citizens in their own wonderful way. Another early building, built in about ’88 to take care of the rapidly growing number of younger folks, was the little brick structure on the north side where Mrs. Nellie Neal, present Riveria principal, taught for many years. This building was later remodelled into a parsonage. The building now occupied by the Blue Mountain Creamery was also used as a school in times of congestion. But all good things came to an end then as now. Conditions required more room and in 1899 Central building was constructed to handle the congestion by taking over the high school course and part of the grades from the white school and the “old brick school.” Riveria, Greenwood, and finally Willow grade build- ings were built, each linking together an institution of learning that is far reaching, up to the minute, and practical. Responsible to the School Board, Superintendent J. T. Longfellow presides over this intricate school system with its advanced methods, its highly developed teaching staff of seventy-five, a school enrollment of 2,283, its manual training, its domestic science and art courses, its music, its bands and glee clubs, its games and building rivalry—all parts of a complex sys- tem that proves of itself that La Grande taxpayers want the best for their children today, just as they did in the beginning. Have not wonders been wrought in the span between Provedence M. Currey and J. T. Longfellow? -----------o----------- In 187(1 the first institution of higher learning was organized in the form of the Blue Mountain University. This was sponsored by the Columbia River Con- ference of the Methodist church. La Grande was chosen because of its central location in Eastern Oregon and Washington. The building stood about where the high school is today and was a pretentious brick structure for the times. Dan- iel Chaplin subscribed the land and $2,000. Three stories constituted the build- ing, the upper room being a chapel, the second floor the assembly room, and the first floor the recitation room. The subjects included regular present-day high school courses—science, mathematics, English and languages. The girls attend- ing the university “roomed out” while the boys maintained bachelors’ hall. J. L. Carter was the first acting president and Mrs. H. K. Hines was one of the first teachers. Her husband the Rev. H. K. Hines, was the school’s agent. In the most prosperous time of the University G. M. Ackerman of New York was president. He served from 1880 to 1883 when he went East hoping to get financial aid, but failing to get it did not return. At this point La Grande was placed in the Idaho conference of the Methodist church while the other division of the Columbia River conference became the Pacific conference and gave its support to Willamette Uni- versity. In 1884 the University was in too heavy financial difficulties and closed its doors. Today, we of La Grande are measuring time until the erection of the Eastern Oregon Normal school is begun. May the dream and vision of the pioneers, when they established the Blue Mountain University in La Grande, be gloriously fulfilled in the Eastern Oregon Normal school.

These men give their services through civic loyalty; and their untiring efforts are de- serving of sincere appreciation from the school and community. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Eberhard, the board has been most construc- tive this year. They aid the students in everything that is undertaken and in re- turn expect them to keep their studies and grades at a high standard. The in- terest of these men has been shown by the many improvements they have made possible for the school this year. (10) Longfellow Towler Bennett Jtfncult � iimimatrators J. T. Longfellow, 15. S.

Now our cities are organized; and, in contrast to the olden days, our schools are organized. The Board of Education is the executive body which is at the head of the school system. This year the Board has made it possible for us to have many new advantages. A course of physical educa- tion whereby every boy and girl is given some form of physical training and a modern steel locker system are among the new im- provements. The home room system has also been most satisfac- torily adopted. The Superintendent is the chief administrative official. He ad- vises with the Board of Education and with the principal and teach- ers, and helps them plan and execute their courses of instruction. The Principal plans the schedule of studies, helps the advisers in directing activities, supervises instruction, co-operates with other schools in inter-school relations, and manages all administrative and supervisory affairs connected with the school. The faculty are elected by the School Board to handle the work of the different departments. Through them, comes the direct con- tact with the student. The Dean of Girls is a regular teacher invested with special duties. She is concerned with the social and moral welfare of the school. Her duties are of two kinds, advisory and personal work. She is not a disciplinary officer since most of her work is of an intimate personal nature that requires personal guidance. Teachers, principal, superintendent, and student-body unite to bring about systematic and harmonious work in the school. —Dorothy Ann War nick '27.

(22) Class 3iistog In 1923 a bunch uv prairie schooners set out ta cross this country. Now this bunch was divided inta four parts. The greenhorns j’ined the greenhorns, and tha mediating j’ined the mediating, and the experienced j’ined tha ex- perienced. I j’ined the greenhorns. We decided to elect some officers so there couldn’t be no janglin’ as ta how ta git across. Ef I remember aright a feel called Tubby Zundel was leader, and Clifford Tiffany helped him. Dorothy Eberhard was elected ta take care of tha little uns while the elders did the work. We had scouts, too. Miss Neill and Miss Coolidge was used as advisors to keep us fruni danger uv Indians. Uv course we didn’t hafta follow their advice hut we found it was better to. The rest uv tha wagon train begun ta make fools uv us, “breaking us in.” It riled us up. We got so plumb mad we challenged the first part of tha mcdiatins to a fight, and we would’ve plum humiliated that bunch ef that Injun alarm hadn’t been given jest when we was started good. Pretty soon our travelin’ was harder, it was always different, and ef it hadn’t been fer our scouts most uv us ’uld never come through. We heard lots ’bout Injuns and other dangers, but it didn’t scare us much. Each one of the four parts did things ta beat tha others, and have a better time. There was fights, games, and foot-races. “Tubby” was our best man. This season ended with us advanced inta the plains. In ’24 thar wasn’t so many as before. We was advanced inta tha first of the mediatin’ classes. Our officers was “Tubby” and Bob Sullivan as helper, and Dorothy Eberhard again for the little ’uns. The road was rough and if it hadn’t bin for our scouts, Mrs. Lindgren and Mr. Young we’d been goners for sure. Every- thing was bone dry for us but we did have some healthy sportin’ times. Tubby, Richard Lyman, Lynn Smutz, Don Patten, and Eldon Hanks was hard ta beat. I fergot ta tell yu that tha wimen folks had games, too. Lena Cambell, Ann Stange, Mildred Courtney, Lois Nelson, and Betty Cochran was outstandin’ in these. Wall, et tha beginnin’ uv our third season we started with high hopes up that steep canyon of the Rocky Mountains. After havin’ spent two seasons on the desert the change of scenery was shure fine. We was now in second place in that train, and we thought we’d soon show these fellas whar to get off at. Our leader Tubby went up ta first lieutenant, so we got a new wagon boss. Betty Cochran was the new leader, with Eldon Hanks to help and Flossie Vedder to keep the diary. Miss Dillon and Miss Brieholtz spotted the dangers. In that third season we shure had ta prove our mettle. Injuns couldn’t stand when we was around. Our wimen folks had some friendly encounters with those uv the other wagons, but tha others didn’t have much chance against our bunch. Just before we got ta that top uv tha Mountains, we got into a fight with lead wagon. They claimed a mascot which was given ’em but ’bout the fii t thing they knew when we hit ’em was that we was ’bout three times as much man as them. They put up a fight, but we walked all over ’em. They gits tha chief guide ta give tha Injun alarm, so we beat it ta fight savages. We hunted ’bout a week but couldn’t find no trace of them Injuns, so we got plumb mad about it. They seen us coinin’ and hid tha mascot. We laid ’em all low and was just com- pleting the search when the Injun scare alarm was given by Mr. Bennet, another scout. Our athletes was such as Zundle, Lyman, Hanks, Berry, Smutz, Brown, Davis, Walker, Ragain, Newlin, Baker, Strand, Waite. The lead wagon was leavin’, so we puts on a stunt called “Miss Somebody Else,” and charges a leg uv venison for every four people who wanted ta see it, and we gave that wagon a big feast from them legs just ta show we was good sports. They give us tha mascot at that feast. I guess they was a pretty decent bunch; anyhow we licked ’em. In 1926 we started on our last quarter uv that journey. Our caravan was leadin’. Tubby was chief uv the hull train, and we was in high spirits generally. Tha way was rough and strange, but most uf us got through. Richard Lyman was our leader and George Baker helped him. Mildred Courtney kept diary for tha bunch. Our guides was Miss Lillie and Mr. Hawk and Mr. McKenzie. We begun ta regret that tha trip wold soon be over. Much time was spent gettin’ ready for arrival at tha coast. We put on another stunt called “Adam and Eva.” We charged a deer skin for each person ta see it, and then we writ down what happened that season we was leadin’ in the Miinir deerskins; and everybody in tha train got one. Wall, ta make a long story short, we carried a lot uv honors that season and got ta tha end in tha year 1927, and we sure did have some celebration. Now its been many a long year since that trip, and I still remember a good many things that happened on it. Samuel Walker ’27.

InWitness Whereof, We have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, the thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. Ivy Charlton, Eugene Park. far '27 ’nriurs One balmy May morning, the Hiking Club started blithely up Booster Peak. Three of the girls, in searching for a spring, became separated from their com- panions. For hours they wandered over the hillside calling the names of their friends. At last they grew tired and to escape the noonday heat crept into a small cave. Upon its floor gleamed a rock of pyramid shape which one girl casually picked up. Immediately came a resounding crash! The hillside fairly shook; darkness swooped upon them; there was a sound as of rushing wind. Then the girls found themselves in a small stone building on a high peak. Confronting them was an aged man who swayed and chanted. Three fascinated girls grew solemn as his words became intelligible. In a deep voice he stated very slowly: “You are very lucky. It was destined that three should uncover the fate of the proud Seniors of the long-past 1927. Ah—let me vision—one moment. The light dawns hut feebly, though through the mists come a golden voice. Yes, it is Kermit Ragain. His tenor successfully soothes the fretful patients at the Grande Ronde Hospital. He is capably aided by Lola McWilliams, the most ef- ficient nurse of her day. Bernetta Kochen.sparger, now a veterinary, is conferring with Margaret Kohl- hepp, the Cattle Queen, on the illness of her pet calf. That clatter! Oh, it is Mary Muilenburg operating her latest invention, a type- writer which spells correctly. Close behind her stands Ann Stangc, racing Ace. Glenn Smith is in conference with Mary, for his quick-delivery scheme has been perfected by mental telepathy. “Lynn Smutz—ah! I see him in South America, having deserted athletics for the quietude of a coffee plantation. With him is Thelma Pickett, taking the chill out of chile, while in the background hovers Harold Smith, who clings to his ancient pipe in preference to picking coffee beans. “What is this? The dignified Marian Wagner, Henry Ford’s chief sales- woman, is taking an evening off. and we find her at a vaudeville. On the stage are Flossie Vedder and Beulah Shroeder doing a tumbling act. They are billed as ‘The Long and Short of it.’ “Alvin Day will live thru the years as a great scientist. Elmer Glenn has at last abandoned his faithful motorcycle. He and George Baker are studying the habits of the angle-worm in Alaska. George Anderson and Jack Durland are ‘seeing America first’ by way of side-door Pullmans. Stella Baker studies advanced typing under Professor John Herr. Bernice Weeks and Lena Campbell teach in Summerville. “Richard Lyman is giving lessons on ‘Being an efficient class president.’ Eldon Hanks and Francis Newlin have published an immortal treatise on the art of basketball. “Bert Hanson and Alice Elder are Deans at the Eastern Oregon Normal. Lola Cantrel bought out Hillard Brown’s drugstore several years ago. Ivy Charleton and Mildred Courtney are Peggy Hopkins Joyce’s rivals as to the number of divorces. Marjorie Walsinger will leave Alaska and follow their example. “Jean Williams, Dorothy Ann Warnick, Eugene Park, and Austin Dunn now compose the Salvation Army Band. “Esther Blokland and Helen Austin are selling radios to the people of London while Violet Hodgson is in Paris designing clothes. “Ben Herr writes subtitles for movies. Alfred Bay designs hats for a French firm, Mildred Jayne paints backdrops for high school plays and Aimee MacGregor is a tourist guide in Yellowstone Park. Mona Gasset owns a cabaret in Montreal. Her headliners are Floyd Berry (whose hair has been dyed raven black) and Lucille Crowe. The apache dance and tango of this couple are envied as well as copied by Golan Eplins. the second Valentino, and his partner, Trillian Ashby. “Fred Swanson is drawing advertisements at $20,000 each. “This place—it must be Lone Pine. And in the huge library are Orville Worsham, head librarian, and his assistant, Charles Wilson. “An airplane sweeps up to the door—it is driven by Joseph Zaugg, who helps William Snodgrass up the stairs. Mr. Snodgrass demands to know why his book ‘Outsheiking Golan Epling’ is not in prominence. “Mildred Hallmark, Y. W. C. A. leader, and Grace Geibel, a returned mis- sionary, try in vain to persuade Zelma Van Leuven to leave her adored peanut stand. “In a tall office building, a serious conference is held. Around a desk are Chester Stalcup, the man who put Pomeroy on the map; Richard Strand, who has retired from his place as Red Grange’s successor; Lois Nelson, the weary editor of that particular yellow journal which publishes the cynical poems of Edith Pay- ton. All these famous personages are listening attentively to the words of Ken- neth Thompson, Ph. I)., M. A., Lid., Dd., LI. M., Lh. I). Henry Conner, Harvard Professor, hopes to gain an interview with Kermit Davis, vice-president of the United States. Eva Carbine and Jean Courtney are Kermit’s secretaries. Veva White and Dolores Elton are consulting Dorothy Eberhard of the Supreme Court upon the waywardness of their respective families. “Betty Cochran is perhaps the most beautiful of Mack Sennet’s Bathing Beauties; her double, Jennie Dalbow, is subjected to many streaks of temperament. The scene changes: the handsome man’s face is familiar. Of course, it is Irvin Zundel anil his supporting chorus girls: Cornelia Hansen, Margaret Michael- son. Hazel Rector, Gladys Smith, and Mabel Stover. “Robert Sullivan, international actor, makes personal appearance at this time. He is followed by Mildred Spencer, who succumbed to the fad for channel swimming and made the time ten hours. “The performance is nearly broken up by Glenn Patten, Bolshevist leader. However, Leo Waite, a contented farmer, and Samuel Walker, who is a clever civil engineer, quell the mad shoutings of Patten. “Such divine music! It is Lucille Metcalf, famous ‘lady baritone,’ accom- panied by Wayman Scott, the inventor of a totally different mute for a cornet. “Worthy Seniors were all these.” Crash! The three girls were back on Rooster Peak, quite thrilled by the thoughts of prominence to be gained in telling of so many persons once known to L. H. S. —Lucille Croioe '27. £$eniat -j.Wm I These four short years, old L. H. S., You’ve been our happy home; Now from these dear and sacred walls Our feet reluctant roam. Each tree, each shrub, each blade of grass That on thy campus grow, Are parts of us—our lives, our souls. For God has willed it so. We came to you as opening buds, Just kissed with childhood’s trust. Each year a petal has unrolled; Progression made it thus. As touch of wind or rain or sun The rose will bless or rust, Our teachers’ love has left its mark Upon the hearts of us. And now we stand with out-stretched arms And feet that know not whence; The river Time goes roaring on; Our lives we must commence. But as we turn to say good-by, From out thy spacious hall, Service and Honor and Loyalty— The things you taught us—call. —Liicile Metcalf. 3mtiur Cirtss Hull Gean Anderson Lola Anderson Phyllis Ansell Claude Anson Bertha Bantz Doris Barnes Phyllis Barnes Floyd Berry William Bork La Faun Boylen Mildred Bradshaw- Olive Bradshaw Helen Bray Thelma Bray Amy Brown Esther Brown Dorothy Brownton Tom Bruce Edward Buchanan Catherine Buckley Scott Bunten Walter Bunten Dell Burk Haigler Burnett Melvin Carbine Howard Carpenter May Clay Vernon Coleman Alice Cook Marion Crowe Margaret Danks Lenore Ely Anita Erickson Beulah Farris Richard Geist Edna Gekeler Phyllis Gordon Hazel Gragg Robert Guild Norwood Hale Harold Herr Edith Herrman Oren Hutchinson Ruth Irwin Velma Kennedy Vivian Lark Loris Ledbetter Durward Litton Edwardine Malone Sylvia Malone William Miller Helena Moore Lucille Moreland Pearl Murray Gloria McCullough Ruth McDaniel Ida Xeukirchner Ina Mae Niederer Benjamin Oesterling Lueen Oliver Tillie Olson Kenneth Owen William Perry Helma Rasmussen Laura Rasmussen Marjorie Reynolds Ellen Richey Iola Robertson Martina Sams Ethel Sayre Joseph Sayre Wilma Schroeder Eva Seeger Vernal Shoemaker Isabelle Simmons Frances Smith Irene Spencer Juanita Spencer Wilford Stoddard Bethel Trill Irina Turner Kennon Vaught Ruth Warner Irma Watkins Louise Wetzel Mary Wright Edwin Jack (28) QLInss The Valley of High School has four great hills. It takes a year to climb each one—and at the top of each, there awaits a certain reward; while extending farther ahead, there looms the next hill steep- but withal, holding fascination for coming students. On the third hill of this valley, stands a group of smiling students. At the head, bearing the banner “JUNIOR CLASS,” stands the president .Marion Crowe; beside him staunch and true, always ready in time of need, is the vice-president Sylvia Malone, who ruled as president during Marion’s stay in California. Edna Gekeler bears the secretary’s book, and nearby are the livewires, Marjorie Rey- nolds and Richard deist. These five successfully led approximately eighty Jun- iors up the mighty hill whose height they are now on—but only with the splendid help of the sponsors—Mrs. Hays, Miss Lee, and Mr. Thomas. Behind the group, rising tall and firm in the valley they have just left, stand the monuments to the successes of the passing Juniors. Tall is the monument bearing the record of the Junior stunt, with pictures of Tom Bruce as the far- mer, Marion Crowe as the tiger team, and Harold Herr as the Baker hoodoo. This monument bears the additional sign “Second Place,” showing the merit of the Junior stunt. Another monument bears the title “Captain Applejack” and how the chests swell, as the band on the hill remembers that monument, and views with pride Captain Applejack (Marion Crowe), Poppy Faire (Edna Gekeler), Aunt Agatha (Marjorie Reynolds), Anna Valeska (Bertha Bant .), Ivan Borolsky (Vernal Shoemaker) and several other distinguished actors. Still another monu- ment bears the account of the Junior Tea. Held during the absence of the presi- dent, it proved to be after all a big success for many of the talented ones per- formed for the mothers present. Athletics had small representation from the Juniors- but the Juniors arc proud of those whose names are there. Wilfred Stoddard and Elwin McCorkle proved their abilities as basketball tossers, while Tom Bruce received t’’e election of Captain for the 1928 Football squad. Edward Buchanan and Marion Crowe also took part in the football world. In girls’ basketball, Peggy Gragg, Marjorie Reynolds, Phyllis Ansell and Bertha Bantz won honors. The Junior band headed by their officers, are standing on the hill of their accomplishments. They are looking ahead to the one year remaining for them in I.. H. S. and strong within them is the determination to make that year their best in scholarship, activities, and school spirit. —Doris Humes, '28.

Each of the sixty-eight girls and sixty-six boys considers himself a self-appointed Live Wire and stands solidly behind the class officers. The class owes a great deal of its success to the faithful guidance of its advisors. Sophomores rank high in scholarship. There are sixteen sophomores on the temporary honor roll and many more on the conditional honor roll. Our one social event of the year the sophomore tea, which was given February 12th in honor of the mothers and faculty, was very successful. Our talented class has nineteen in the girls’ glee club, six in the boys’ glee club, and seven members in the orchestra. In football our class showed up well. We had four letter men, Snyder, Price, Keffer, and Charlton. Ruth Durland, Doris Cade, Mildred Stanley, Jane Stange, and Marva Lyman were on the basketball squad and are expected to do great things next year. During basketball season Lawrence Bay led the rooting and made a real name for himself. Oh, you class of twenty-nine, How your virtues brightly shine. Your girls are the prettiest, Your boys are the wittiest. The very best L. H. S. has seen. Thanks to your advisors keen. —Cteland Wall singer 29.

Such hustle and bustle! Where to go? What to do? But eventually everything quieted down and we got to work. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers. With the football season came the class stunts in which we took first place. Bliss Leslie, as the bride; Stanley Zundel as the bridegroom of La Grande; Norman Daniels, the Milton-Freewater bridegroom; Lee Johnson as the flower-girl; Nylic Lewis as the preacher, created much hilarity in the student body. On March 25 we had the Freshmen Tea in honor of our mothers. Through the hearty cooperation of the boys and girls and the parents this was a success. The Freshman boys’ basketball team was made up of: Robert Evans, Nor- man Daniels, Robert Stoddard, Oswald McMarven, Harold Browning, Leonard Roe, Carl Stoddard, and Fred Nelson. The team was ably coached by Mr. Thomas. The Freshmen girls’ basketball team, coached by Miss Ann Stange, was made up of: Guilda Ashby, Claudia Suydam, Margaret Anthony, Myrtle Hanson, Veil Hamm, and Alice McClosky. Through the able and excellent help of the advisors Miss Bickford, Miss Thomas, and Miss Johnson, together with the help of the officers and livewires, the class has had a successful year.

La Grande’s community spirit had its beginning soon after the settlers ar- rived here. The simplest and greatest community spirit- that of friendliness and “help one another”—was manifested early. In times of hardship and there were many such times in these early struggles neighbors were always on hand to help, in the more pleasant times sociables, family visits, and informal calls were frequent. As soon as the schools were instituted, school programs were regular oc- currences. Recitations, songs, and playlets were presented by the students after careful coaching by the teacher. Spelling bees were in high favor. With tl'.e advent of the Blue Mountain University more auspicious programs were held, and the Philataxion debating society was formed, meeting every Fri- day night. Debates, declamations, and orations were included in the entertain- ment. Love of good music was early instilled in the hearts of La Granders. In the earliest days, community songs were the only forms of musical entertainment. A tuning fork was used and the settlers depended upon memory for words of songs. Soon, however, new settlers brought fifes and drums, and a corps was organized. Not much later, a community band was organized and was active for many years. All boys were trained to play some sort of instrument while girls were instructed on organs and rare pianos, which had with difficulty been brought across the plains. Early amateur theatricals were frequent, beginning with pantomimes and playlets but becoming more ambitious later on. Many times these plays were presented in neighboring towns. Often, too, plays or programs were presented here by the good folk from neighboring towns, such as Union. Occasionally, a troupe of professional players passed through and presented a program in an old town hall. Fourth of July programs were always very extensive, with visitors from neighboring towns here to enjoy the day’s festivities. A community Christmas tree was early made an annual joyous event. Church socials and entertainments were prominent, too, the Episcopal church being the first one to be erected; with the Methodist church second. Among the early La Granders who were active in these community programs and who, today, are residents of our city, are Mrs. Clay Ellsworth, Mrs. Nellie Neill, Mrs. George Currey, Mrs. Henry Young, Mrs. Sam Williamson, Mrs. Hattie Mc- Donald. Mr. .1. I). Slater, Mrs. Lydia Grandy, and Mrs. Emma Harding. All this time, of course, the community was growing and developing. The advent of the railroad in 1883 disrupted the Old Town settlement, and for a time, adjustments between Old and New Town were difficult. As the years went on. Old lown dwindled away; industries, churches, and community halls took their places in new La Grande that has grown so rapidly into the prosperous, thriving community center of today. Now. let us consider our community organizations of today and realize that most of these had their humble beginning in little old La Grande. Our well known Municipal band, under the direction of Andrew I.oncy, has in its membership several men who received early training here. The Monday Musical chorus, under the direction of W. V. Nusbaum, and all other such municipal musical organiza- tions have singers whose musical talent may be traced to early La Grande in- fluences. Shall we forget the American Legion drum corns? Certainly not! It, too, has its inheritance from the past. Every year some form of theatricals is presented by our local talent and surely the love of this may be traced to the early theatricals of our pioneer descendants. Community programs consisting of music and public speaking, are a part of the city’s yearly program. These, too, had their beginning in those early community programs which took place either in some church, hall, or the chapel of Blue Mountain University. Our excellent community organizations such as the Neighborhood Club. Chamber of Commerce, Parent-Teacher societies, all have within them that friend- liness, that spirit of co-operation for the improvement of our city, which was actuated by our forefathers. The Greater La Grande Spirit prevails today in La Grande—our substantially founded cit with its excellent schools, thriving industries, active communitv or- ganizations, and looming normal school. And that Greater La Grande Spirit had its root when old La Grande was young.

The Student Body is an organization of the entire enrollment of the high school. It encourages all activities and helps to maintain a high standard of scholarship. This body functions through assemblies over which the president presides. The Student Body not only creates and keeps alive “school spirit,” but it also tends to promote democracy and good citizenship. “Pug” McCorkle, Lawrence Bay, and Martina Samms, as yell leaders, co- operated with the officers in instilling pep in the student body.

It is composed of two representatives from each class. They are chosen by the class officers and faculty. The duties of the council are many. The members try to elevate the entire moral tone of the high school, to serve as a judicial body of the school, and to act as a connecting link between the faculty and Student Body. During this year it has re-organized under the New Home Hoorn plan so that its influence may be extended to meet the greater school enrollment.

This aim is being very effectively carried out by the committee plan. Under this system every girl is on one of the twenty-six committees, working on some particular line of activity, under the direction of a chairman and a faculty sponsor. The chairmen are upper class girls who have earned their position by diligently working on committees and by faithfully upholding the ideals of the A. G. S. Much of the success of the organization is due to the hearty cooperation of the entire faculty. Wolfe Smith Reynolds Geist Ashby Stance Sf.igrist 'Witts Live Wires have been instituted in the classes to make them more peppy and lively. Each class elects two who work with the class officers. They have charge of ticket sales, of the class plays, and other school activities. During these sales a contest is held among the four classes. The class having its reports completed and money turned in to the business man- ager first wins. The Live Wires and the class presi- dents do their utmost to make their class win the con- tests. The Freshman Live Wires are Gilda Ashby and Adolph Siegrist; Sophomore, Mildred Smith and Har- mon Wolfe; Junior, Marjorie Reynolds and Richard Geist; Seniors, Ann Stange and Roy Kumasawa.

Nelson The Hi-Dads is an organization composed of the La Grande business men who aid the High School in every possible way. They are behind us in everything we undertake. We feel that in athletics especially they have helped us. At every football and basket ball game they were present and helped the team by cheering. They provided cars so that the students could attend the Eastern Oregon Tournament at Union, and encouraged the team and the student body. Several Hi-Dads made the trip to Salem with the team. The Hi-Dads are interested not only in athletics, but also in our scholastic activities. The Honor system is sponsored by them. Those Seniors who have remained permanently on the Honor Moll receive an Honor Pin, which is awarded by the Hi-Dads. Every Senior’s ambition is to belong to this society. Banquets for the letter winners and Honor Society members are given an- nually by them. The Hi-Dads do many small things that do not come to the notice of the pub- lic, but which help the school a great deal. La Grande High School is indeed fortunate to have such an organization be- hind it.

The many guests enjoyed a charming program furnished by the faculty and members of the Student Body. After this the teachers and parents became better acquainted and discussed their mutual charges—the students. .1. G. S. Matinees— Every month a matinee dance was held in the gymnasium for the members of tlu A. (i. S. Clever programs, delicious refreshments, and good music made these events more successful than ever before. Special matinees were given each semester honoring the Little Sisters. Football Ban uet—- As a conclusion to the enthusiastic rally which preceded the Baker-La Grande football game, the Hi-l)ads gave a banquet in the Domestic Science Department honoring the “Tiger Team.” The dinner, which was prepared under the super- vision of Miss Lois Davis, consisted of only such wholesome ingredients as are suitable to grid-stars in training. Besides the wholesome food the guests were served by their hosts with spicy speeches which assured the team of the support and confidence the Hi-Dads had in them. Xoon Hour Programs— Sponsored by the A. (i. S., noon hours programs were held in the auditorium once every week or two. This brought to light much unsuspected talent, besides providing a unique way for the girls who remained at school to pass the noon hour. Class Teas— The members of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen classes sponsored by the A. G. S., entertained their mothers at informal teas in the audi- torium. The mothers and teachers were entertained by charming programs after which they enjoyed a social hour at the small, attractively decorated tables which were set on the stage. The teas took the form of informal get-to-gethers thus for- warding their purpose of making the mothers better acquainted with school life. Annual Football Banquet— The Hi-Dads were hosts at the annual football banquet given at the close of the season at the Sommer Hotel. Grand-dad Perkins presided as toastmaster and the Reverend G. H. Pollard gave the principal talk of the evening, “The Habit of Success.” I wo very interesting events of the evening were the announcement that Tom Bruce would be the 1927 football captain and the presentation of a wrist watch to Coach Mackenzie as a token of regard from the team. About sixty Persons consisting of members of the Football team and Hi-Dad organization were present. Junior Play Party— I he c «ist of Captain Applejack lived for the last time in the realm of pirates and high adventure at a clever party honoring them, and given by the faculty sponsors at the Domestic Science Building in December. Many delightful games were played but the feature of the party was the hair-raising examination of the pirates victim. The class colors, green and gold, predominated in the decorations of the rooms as well as in the delicious refreshments which brought the happv evening to a close. Hi-Dad Dance— On December 18, 1926, the Hi-Dads were hosts at a dance given in the Elks' Hall in honor of all the La Grande Hi Students. Delightful music was furnished by the Eastern Oregon Music Company and all those who attended enjoyed the event very much. Pot Luck Supper— The chairmen and officers of the A. G. S. were hostesses at their annual Pot Luck Dinner in the Domestic Science Department, February 3. The principal, members of the faculty and others who were interested were also present. A valentine effect was carried out in the charming decorations of the room and tables. The chairmen gave their semester reports and briefly outlined the aims of their committees. After the formal reports were given, the guests expressed their admiration of and confidence in the organization. Senior Play Cast Dinner— Once more clad in the costumes worn in the farm scene, the cast and faculty advisors of “Adam and Eva” enjoyed a Pot Luck Dinner at the Domestic Science Department March 30, 1927. Elmer Glenn acted as Toastmaster and called upon everyone present for a toast. The decorations and the menu were cleverly worked out to represent the spirit of the play. The Latin Club— Although it was handicapped by a late start, the Latin Club came through with that driving finish which seems to characterize all L. H. S. student activities. The first meeting to effect an organization was held early in December. Of- ficers elected for the club were: Kenneth Thompson, President; Bernice McKin- ney, Vice-president; and Carl Mclnnis, Secretary-Treasurer. Several meetings were held during the year, and some interesting programs were presented. Ju n io r-Sen io r Han quet—- As a climax to the social activities of the year, the Junior class entertained the Senior class at the annual Junior-Senior banquet at Honan Hall, April 29. The tables and rooms were attractively decorated with purple and gold, the Senior colors, and green and gold, the Junior colors. Sylvia Malone, vice-president of the Junior class, acted as toastmistress and toasts were given by Phyllis Ansell, Kenneth Owen, Irvin Zundel, Lois Nelson, Mr. Towler, Richard Lyman, Mr. Long- fellow, Alice Cook, Mr. Perkins, Cornelia Hansen, and Mr. Eakin. After en- joying the delicious dinner, the guests enjoyed a charming program consisting of a contralto solo by Bethel Trill; a reading by Martina Sams; a solo by Mr. Nus- baum; piano solo by Edna Gekeler; a saxaphone solo by Benjamin Oesterling; a selection by ukelele group; a solo by Tom Bruce; and a violin solo by Bertha Bantz. An hour of dancing was the last feature of the delightful evening. Honor Students Feted— The Hi-I)ads entertained the Honor Society members, the girls’ and boys’ basket ball teams, and the student body officers at a banquet on April 25 at Som- mer hotel. The affair was the largest Hi-l)ad function of the year with over sixty Hi-I)ads and students present. Grand-dad Perkins presided as toastmaster, first introducing the honor guests and then calling on Ili-Dads Bohnenkamp, Eberhard, Cochran, Epling, and Towler, Coaches Johnson and McKenzie, Captain Lyman, Captain Campbell and Captain-elect Stoddard, and Cornelia Hansen for toasts. The well prepared dinner, the excellent talks, and the prevailing spirit of good fellowship made the evening a most happy one. Development in the realms of literature in and about La Grande was not begun quite so soon as in other activities, since so few books were available. But each settler brought some books with him and, as the settlement grew, the per- sonal libraries were increased. Exchanges of literature between families widened the range of reading and the advent of the University greatly enlarged the supply of reading material. The University and other schools of early La Grande have produced men and women who have gained real note in literature. John B. Horner, professor of history at Oregon Agricultural college and the author of an accepted text book on Oregon history attended the University. Ella Higginson, famous American writer, was born and educated here. Bert Huffman, nationally known poet and magazine contributor was an early-day La Grander. Written history of Union County contains much gained from the pen and mind of J. 1) . Slater who has lived in La Grande since 1865. Newspapers were an early factor in the development of La Grande and have aided in setting the pace for all community progress. There was nothing “slow” about the introduction of newspapers, for on April 18, 1868, two papers appeared almost simultaneously, one being the Blue Mountain Times, a Republican paper, edited by Mr. Coggan and Mr. Baker, and the other the Mountain Sentinel, a Demo- cratic paper with strongly marked sentiment against the Union. One of the first editions of the Times gives the slogan, “The Union-Bight or Wrong” and demands the election of Ulysses Grant as president. This issue today is treasured by Mr. and Mrs. Eckley. Several papers were edited from this time on, most of them being political weeklies which died in infancy. E. S. McComas, Jasper Stevens, and .1. E. Jeffrey are among the early editors whose regular contributions were gems in style—vitriolic or sympathetic, as the occasion demanded. Ed Eckley is perhaps the most interesting and conspicuous figure in La Grande newspaper circles. After being connected for short periods with a number of different papers, he established the La Grande Chronicle in 1893, editing it for many years. In 1896, the first edition of the present La Grande Evening Observer appeared, being published by George Currey and Fred Currey who is now editor of the La Grande District News. The Observer grew under their guidance, until 1910 when Bruce Dennis became the owner and enlarged the plant and field. The paper has steadily improved and today with F. B. Appleby as publisher ranks among the leading papers of Oregon. I he Public Library always the center of literary development in a community, was built in 1913 through a Carnegie donation. The library is well equipped, having about 13,000 books, and is efficiently conducted. The Neighborhood club, organized by La Grande women in 1894 has always been a real influence for good literature. This club, in its weekly meetings makes a study of the best in literature, art and music, and plays a vital part in the com- munity in this field. Through the organization, world-famous performers have raised nearly $30,000 in the eighteen years that it has maintained a scholarship fund and 570 young women have received educations through their efforts. Another excellent phase of work being done in near relation to literature is the annual art contest, conducted by the art department of the Neighborhood club. Through this the students are given a real insight in the world of art. Mrs. E. P. Mossman, an active worker in all civic affairs, has gained national recogni- tion for her work in promoting the study of art in schools. A panorama of commercial club history records an occasional lapse of this service in years past but on the whole, civic matters have always been properly cared for by active Commercial clubs. Many of the finer things in La Grande and many of the city’s industrial and civic institutions are the products of the efforts of the present Union County Chamber of Commerce. I hrough schools, library, newspapers, churches, and community clubs, high civic standards have been developed in La Grande.

(Editorials PROGRESS OF EDUCATION The staff of the 1927 Mimir has chosen the theme, DEVELOPMENT OF EDU- CATION IN LA GRANDE with the hope of producing an annual that will be of interest and value to the community as well as to the school. There is so much in this field that is worthwhile and inspiring and we have been so limited by space that it has been necessary to be extremely brief and even to omit complete- ly some of the valuable material that we have found. But, if, in this bird-eye’s history of La Grande’s educational development, we have been able to arouse in the hearts of the readers a feeling of reverence and gratitude for the pioneers who were wise and far-seeing enough to provide for early schools, if we have made some minds dwell for a time on the progress that has been accomplished here, if we have caused some dream of future progress and future development in education in La Grande, then we will feel that our work has been well repaid. “LUCKY KIDS” Don’t you know, we students of L. H. S. are just about the luckiest kids on God’s green earth? It isn’t that we have the largest building, or the best gym— it’s not that we are rich with money—but it’s that we’re rich with the backing of the La Grande people. We have their help, and their friendship and their admiration. They’re behind us in everything we do; whether it is a scholastic or athletic activity—they’re always supporting us, overlooking our failures and cheering us all the more because of them. When we greet them, and feel their hearty handclasp and hear their cheery words of encouragement, a feeling surges through us—a bond of affection that nothing can sever. Why, they like us! 1 hey believe in us! I hey want us to do oui best! And now, when you think about it, isn’t that the best way to express our heart-felt gratitude for all that these Mothers and Fathers and Friends have done for us—by doing our best in life? “HI” PEACH While we’re passing around the bouquets let’s not forget “Hi” Peach. Hi has been with L. H. S. since the high school has been built and it wouldn’t be I H S without him—that’s all. In fact he’s been working with La Grande schools for nearly 2« years. Always doing some little thing for someone that nobody else ever hears about but which the “someone” never forgets, “Hi” has won many a staunch friend among the students. Oh, perhaps others could keep us equally warm and comfortable, but there isn’t another “Hi.” And that s why alumm. when they visit our school, always say, “How’s Hi?” (55) Ol’H TEACHERS In reviewing the factors in the Educational Development we find that the feeling of the student toward his teacher has changed. In pioneer days fear was the keynote by which discipline was maintained today it is understanding. Where once the student was brought to task to the tune of the hickory stick, he is now governed by respect and honor. Nowadays the student feels the bond of friendship with his teacher, knowing that at any time he is privileged to converse privately and confidentially with him. A feeling of fellowship has grown up among students and teachers that is a strong influence upon the student. Thus, along with the progress of Education lias developed this finer relationship between student and teachers. “BUGGY RIDES” After all, times haven’t changed so much since our brave pioneer fathers built the first school houses. Then, John and Mary hitched Nellie up and jogged to school. Nowadays, old Lizzie is coaxed to sputter, and Johnnie and Mary are still jogging to school. Moreover, we are told by some very worthy pioneers of our city that, on Sundays, all the Johnnies, after diligently polishing the buggy and curry-combing Nellie, as well as themselves, proceeded to take their best girls for afternoon rides. And aren’t the modern Johnnies doing the same sort of thing in about the same sort of way?

The passing of time has brought round a change; No longer a free and open range. No longer a schoolhouse set on a hill. Or a strong wind blowing through a tall wind mill.

Where the winds and storms were milder. Where the winters were less cruel. Onward into the unknown land. Came the band of weary travelers, To the broad and open prairies, By long rivers they could ford not, To the rough and rugged mountains. Onward to the Rocky Mountains. They ascended the bold mountains, Climbing up the narrow canyons, Toward the lofty peaks above them. They could see hut could not reach them, They could see still distant hill tops To be climbed ere they descended. When at last they were descending. After tired and weary climbing. They descended a deep canyon, Where the waters rolled to westward. Here they rested from their journey. Here at nightfall made their campfires. They were seated round the campfires Listening for the shrieks of Indians, When their leader calmly told them That these Indians were friendly And would lead them to the outlet Into wide and fertile valleys. With more hopeful hearts they journeyed. Till they saw a winding river, Flowing gracefully and slowly; Like a snake it wound and twisted. O’er a green and pleasant valley, And they named it the Snake River. But they could not—would not rest here. For their eyes were turned to westward. To a valley more abundant, Yielding like the horn of plenty. Yielding forth their ample futures, Where their families would be cherished. So they traveled farther westward. Till they met a band of Indians, Who described to them a valley— A more beautiful green valley— Nestling among those blue mountains Which you see there just before you. Here they made their homes and firesides, Hewed their logs from the tall spruce tree; Made a rude hut from the spruce tree From the stone upon the mountain, Made a chimney and a fireside. So they rested from their journey. O, the beautiful blue mountains! (). the broad and fertile valley! With its deep and waving grasses With its winding silver river Winding round the blue mountains This they called the “Grande Ronde Valley.” —LaVelle liichey. Brrflllerfimts (Prize Story) Gr-r-r went the wheels and the brakes as the west-bound passenger stopped to let off and take on passengers. “Quite a thriving town here at La Grande,” said Mr. Smith, a large prosper- ous looking gentleman, to his seat companion. “Yes, it is,” replied his companion who was an old white-haired man. “You see,” he continued, “I remember when La Grande was a small farming communi- ty and it delights me to see the many changes that have taken place. The first school was built in Old Town. It consisted of a one-room log cabin. The desks were made of logs. Nevertheless the children had much fun, and good fortune smiled on them in the pleasing and scholarly personality of the first teacher, Provedence M. Currey. Now La Grande has four fine grade schools and one beau- tiful high school building. La Grande does not have to worry about books now as it did long ago, for the children have many text books of their own besides the use of the school and city libraries. In 1801 and 1862 the first school did not have enough textbooks so the primary grade learned the A B C’s from news- paper letters.” “Well, well! Do you happen to know what the population of the town is at present?” asked Mr. Smith. “Now,” replied the old gentleman, “that reminds me again how La Grande has changed. It has about 10,000 people now and over 2,000 pupils in its schools. While in the first school there were—let me see—oh, I remember there were five pupils. Those were the good old days! Many a time when I was a youngster did I spend my nickels for jelly where many children now spend theirs for candy and in vacation time whole families used to go on berry picking trips. Along the Grande Honde River we used to find many wild gooseberries, currants, and elder- berries which we begged our mothers to make into jelly. Yes, sir!” exclaimed the old man excitedly, “those were the good old days. Many a time I have caught a big fish in the Grande Ronde River when I was a lad. “I have to this day a collection of Indian arrow heads which my father up- turned when plowing the fields in this valley, and some Indian beads. “The young people don’t go sleigh riding or use horses very much any more. They usually come to school in cars or else walk. My father used to take us to school in a sled and pick up the neighbor children on the way. He didn’t sit in the sleigh with us but he rode one of the horses.” “I hear,” said Smith, “that La Grande is going to have a Normal school.” “Yes,” his companion replied, “I’m glad of it. La Grande’s a fine place for a Normal School. In 1875 the Blue Mountain University was built upon the Hill where the Central School is now. I hated to see the University die down for I always believed in the future of La Grande, but the Normal school will make up for it. I am sorry I had to move to Portland for my health.” Toot! toot! went the whistle and gr-r-r went the wheels when the train pulled out of the station, and nothing more could be heard of the conversation of the two men. —Margaret Michaelson ’27. A ffirc hic Chat Wasn't It was in my hallway travels At our famous L. H. S. That I met a little Freshman In a rather peculiar dress. His face was meek and youthful, His eyes were opened wide, His hair was neatly parted With a curl on either side. Oh, he looked a frightened Freshie, You could see that he was new, He asked politely if I’d direct him To Hoorn Two. . So I spoke in kindly accents In a condescending way, To impress him with the deference, Freshies must to Seniors pay. So I said, “My little Freshman It’s upon the seventh floor.” But perplexed the Freshie answered, “It says two there on that door.” “Oh, that number’s there to deceive you, Really some people are so cruel. That they try to fool the Freshman, When he first arrives at school.” Then he thanked me for my kindness. But before he left the hall, My eyes fell on the button Looking harmless on the wall. So I said, “The elevator will come down, If you will just ring.” And I judged it wise to vanish As he gently pushed the thing. So I wandered down to Latin. When I saw the teacher there My face grew white and ashy In a horror stricken stare. The teacher was a new one And with fright I nearly died, For standing just before me Was the “Freshie” I had guyed. —Wanda Xeilson. filing .Agn It was on one of those clear cold nights; yes, quite a number of years ago, though it seems like yesterday, when we had one of the most exciting spelling matches that I ever took part in, or witnessed. As we clambered out of our bob-sleds to run into the Valeria schoolhousc to get warm, never was there a more eager, excited team than we. Our rival, the Red Pepper school, was already there waiting for the match to begin. We were then in possession of the silver cup, which was given to the winner of each match, and we hoped and prayed that we wouldn’t lose it that night. We lined up. Red Pepper on one side, and we, Valeria, on the other. We felt just as your football or basketball teams feel just before a big fight. We knew we had to win. After we had won that cup just two weeks before, would we let it be snatched from our hands without a fight? No, we would fight to the end. Yes, it is rather queer to speak of fighting in a spelling match. Maybe we didn’t fight with legs and fists as they do in football, but nevertheless we could fight with ability and brains, and maybe—luck. The teacher pronounced the first word. It was ours. We spelled it correctly. The next word they also spelled correctly, and so on, down the line, no one miss- ing a word. We were evenly matched as you see. Then suddenly one of our girls spelled dropping with one p. Then there was an even number on each side, eleven. Almost like the football eleven wasn’t it? For the next hour first one school and then the other misspelled. There were several arguments over the decision of the referee in his pronunciation of a word or whether it was right or wrong. Finally there were two pupils left on our side, myself and Bud Stevens, and just one on the other, a girl, Ruth Hampton. The pronounccr had run out of words in our old spelling book and was beginning on the dictionary. It was nearing 12.00 o clock, and the spectators were tense with the expectancy that the match was almost won. We could hear inurinurings among them of, “Which do you think will get it? I’m for Red Pepper,” or “I’m betting on Valeria.” Then, oh Horrors of Horrors! I misspelled catastrophe. As I sank to my seat, I felt just like one of the boys when he fumbles the ball or misses the basket. Now there was just one on each side. Everything was ghostly still except when the pronouncer’s words rang out like bells tolling which—victory or defeat? The words were getting harder. Listen! Had Ruth spelled that word correctly? Wrong. Will Bud spell it? As he nears the end of that word without a mistake, we felt just as you did when you watched Tubby make that spectacular run in the Pendleton game. Remember? There, he had finished. Right. Hooray! We kept the silver cup. —Mildred Spencer '27. ----------o---------- (En n ©fllfer Hey you, Gentle Breeze! Keep still. Babblin’ Brook! Pipe down. Swaying Trees!

Columns of blue smoke rose out of its chim- ney on the cold evening air. A thick white blanket of snow covered the ground. What was that? A stealthy step, a creeping form quietly peeps in at the door, is lost for a moment then returns and hurriedly runs down the road. Just as a shout from merry hells is heard in the opposite direction a number of sleighs drawn by steaming horses drew up in front of the door and out of them piled both young and old. Surely it was to he a dance for there are the fiddlers and yes there is old Ben, who calls for the quadrilles. Into the door they file. Just on the step Tom catches Mary’s arm. “Say what was the matter of Fred today in school, after the teacher said we might have this dance? Didn’t he want to come?” For one brief moment Mary’s eyelids dropped and the blush that spread over her cheeks told too well why Fred did not care to come. “Never mind, Mary, 1 know he would have liked you for his partner but be- cause he didn’t get you is no reason he should say he bet we didn’t have a dance and to do all in his power to prevent it. He came up to the stable to help me get ready and purposely turned one of the horses loose to make me late. After that he left. I hope he does not show up out here tonight.” They passed inside where they found the floor full, and all ready to begin dancing. The music commenced, the feet began to fly, and with it a strange sting- ing took hold of everyone’s eyes, nose, and throat. Ka-Ka-Ka-Choo! came from all over the room. Handkerchiefs were wav- ing wildly, eyes were streaming with tears. It was a brief story; some one had been to the school house and sprinkled red pepper all over the floor and benches as well as the stove. Of course there was no dance. F'red had satisfied his jealousy, won his bet and a school house had gained a name—Bed Pepper. —Lucile Metcalf. (This story was written from true material received from students concern- ing the naming of the Red Pepper schoolhouse. The writer used her imagination, however, in explaining the motive of the “pepper sprinkler.”) ----------o----------- Jp reams To visit all the foreign lands To go o’er land and sea, To travel on the desert sands, Would bring great joy to me.

II. S.J In our study of Abraham Lincoln we have come to love him as friend and helper, to respect him as a leader of men, and to revere him as the Great Eman- cipator. But do we even know him as a Christian? His life was one, like that of Christ’s, of sorrow and suffering, and, finally, of death that mankind might be helped. His deeds are singularly like those of Christ, and his very words and thoughts are inspired by the Christian ideal. Was he not truly a modern Savior? Peering into the pages of history... I see the boy Lincoln, born of humble parentage; reared in simplicity; glean- ing knowledge from his books; reaping wisdom from nature and mankind. “And lo, the heavens were opened unto him; he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove.” I see the youth Lincoln journeying forth in a world of sorrow and distress- (62) spending his forty days in the wilderness, triumphing over weaknesses and selfish ambitions; growing in strength and purpose; seeing a vision of service......... “Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” I see the man Lincoln serving all mankind; administering to their wants and sorrows, healing the wounds of hatred and strife between brothers, bearing a message of love and good will to the world; aye, verily, a good Samaritan......... “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Then, I see a Lincoln suffering on his cross; betrayed by a Judas; yet plead- ing, “‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’” And at last I see a Lincoln receiving his reward of eternal peace, delivered unto his Holy Father. “Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay- down his life for his friends.” —Lois Nelson. jftemurtJ A string of shiny days we had A spotless sky, a yellow sun And neither you nor I’ll be glad When they are through and done.

(68) Athletics in La Grande are as old as La Grande itself. Limited at first by lack of equipment, three-o-cat, handball, and foot racing were the most popular sports. In quick order baseball diamonds took shape and thereon were seen not only the boys but the older men, too. In those days a diamond, crude of course, and a bludgeon or two constituted the equipment of adult teams. As even face masks were unknown, old-time catchers such as .1. E. Reynolds took position well back of the batter and caught the pitcher’s offerings with his bare hands. The game spread, until other new-born towns took it up and inter-community games were regularly indulged in. Late in the 19th century, La Grande boasted a remarkable baseball club that held its own with the best in the west. By 1891 baseball reached its greatest height with Walla Walla and other towns competing in a semi-professional league. Wil- liam Miller, Jay Van Buren, Conductor Al Hay, A. V. Andrews, Arch Miller, and Jack Candish are well known men of today who were stars. Not until 1907 did baseball re-approach the perfection of the 1890 type. The La Grande Athletic club, father of the present day Chamber of Commerce, is an historical association in which Jack Peare, Charles Dick, F. L. Meyers, .1. W. Knowles, and Will Miller were conspicuous promoters. Boxing, gymnastics, racing were its chief sports. Another organization of the 19th century was the La Grande Bicycle club constituted of men and women who deemed it great sport to pedal a bicycle many miles over dusty roads—even to Baker—as a Sunday pastime. Two in- trepid members, F. L. Meyers and .1. H. Peare, rode to Walla Walla over the Ruck- les Road pass, and back at one time. Still another form of sport so popular in the west was the hose cart racing. Again Mr. Peare played an active part, leading many a La Grande hose team to victory. The world’s record of 23 seconds for 200 yards was twice tied by his team. Participants were Fred Harding, l)r. Lincoln, Sherwood Williams, Tom Williams, Ed Harding, Walter Black, Jim Stacey, Tom Williamson. During these stirring athletic events, high school sports were not virile, and it was not until the opening of the 20th century that football, basketball, and track were brought to light in an organized way. Until 1910 La Grande had stronger football teams than tracksters, but on the year mentioned the Blue and White be- came famed through winning second place at the Pacific Northwest interscholas- tic at Walla Walla and taking the Eastern Oregon meet in La Grande where 12 new records were set up, some still standing. Rill Peare, Henry Heidenrich, the late Arlo Meyers, Stanley Carpy, Jay Millering, Cecil and Virgil Bolton, and Lee Rey- nolds constituted the team with A. W. Nelson as coach. The men trained be- tween strings of freight cars in the railroad yards. That memorable meet was run on an improvised track where the school field now lies. Still another athletic club of the early 20th century was the Blue Mountain Athletic club, conceived in the Sunday School room of the old M. E. Church on Fourth street, with gym facilities available when the pews were removed. Later the club equipped itself comfortably in what is now the Zion Lutheran church. From this organization men went out to attain Northwest scholastic and collegiate fame. Lee Reynolds is a conspicuous example, winning track fame at O. A. C. Girls played basket ball in years past, too. Playing boys’ rules, Rubv Thiesen. Ethel Gulling Sears, Hattie McMurray Kelly. Floy Massee Nelson and Frances Massee cleaned tip Eastern Oregon with whirlwind playing. George Birnie coached the team and Lula Gulling Bay was manager. Boys’ high school athletics again came into real prominence in 1917 when a state football championship team, under Coach Charles Reynolds was produced. A game with Franklin high, western Oregon champions, and La Grande decided the title. La Grande winning 14-0 in a memorable conflict. Under Coach Reynolds basket ball also entered the limelight. After winning the Eastern Oregon cham- pionship, Mr. Reynolds and his team, including, “Big Mose” Elwood Lyman Judv and Charles Ash, “Toots” Carrity, George McDonald, Howard Stoddard and Tom Taylor, took a trip that was termed the longest barnstorming tour ever made bv a northwestern high school team up to that time. The boys covered over a thousand miles, playing in western Oregon and in Washington', and made a very creditable showing, losing only to college freshmen teams. Again, in 1920 Mr Reynolds, produced an Eastern Oregon championship team. These boys attend- ed the first all-state tournament at Salem, and, like our own Tigers of 1927 lost in the semi-finals to Salem. “Toots” Garrity, Waldo Stoddard, Harry Proctor Bud ihieson, Frank Black and Clyde Webb comprised this team. Sportsmanship was not so developed then as now. and athletic games between high schools more often that not ended in free for all fights, and disgraceful be- haviour on the sidelines was custom. Only those who have lived through the two eras can appreciate what present day sportsmanship means. It is a healthy and wholesome improvement of the past.

Jfmtthnll The 1926 La Grande high school football team demonstrated what fight will do and can well be proud of themselves. More power to them in their future years. We are surely proud of them as they gave La Grande the best football team that we have had for the past ten years, and we feel that although they lost to Milton-Freewater on Thanksgiving day they were Eastern Oregon champs. 1 hey were given recognition as having played every game with true sportsmanship and as having that indefinable something which made everyone, even their op- ponents, respect them. On the night of September 8, Coach Mackenzie gave the first call for prac- tice and more than fifty men reported. It is to this group that credit goes as over forty of them stayed out the entire season and took their bruises and scratch- es. I hese boys were all green material and they were given a chance to win not more than one of possibly two games. But no one knew that group of fighters, captained by the indomitable Smutz. His spirit and fight predominated. The squad was not cut and the Wallowa game came along. Poor old Wallowa! They held the Tigers the first half to one touchdown, but oh mv! What a second hall wallop these Tigers had. Final score 28-0. Then Enterprise tried her luck and once again bowed before Tiger powers, losing 13-0 on their home ground. Now the Tiger team, remembering what a defeat was handed to the Tigers last year at the hands of Baker and Tebo, began to prepare for the big game of the season. The newspaper and all sport critics gave them no hope of winning, but regardless of this they went to work with a will. The school was pasted from one end to the other with “Fight Tigers, Fight!” And did they—-oh my! Let Baker tell you about that unforgetable second half. Yes, Baker had' them 13-0 at the end of the half, then Smutz and his gang got to work and third quarter the score was Tigers 14, Bakerl3; the fourth quarter ended with 21-13 in favor of La Grande. Credit of the game goes to the leadership of the Tiger, Captain Smutz, and the never-say-die spirit of his team. After a three weeks’ rest Pendleton and this game was just too much Zip Zundel, who ran wild through the Pendleton team twice for touchdowns, once 55 yards and once 70 yards in the last two minutes of play, winning the game 19-14. Then the Tigers revenged themselves on Union just two days after the Pendle- ton conflict, winning from them 7-6. These last two games' the Tigers played without their captain and although they missed him thev deserve credit for winning. The rest of the season was centered on the Milton-Freewater game and al- though we played Walla Walla with our second team, giving them the game, we came to Thanksgiving with a record even better than we were given a chance of having. This game was the hardest fought contest of the year, and the Tigers al- though outweighed and playing on a strange field, played what was called bv the Oregon papers the smoothest football of Eastern Oregon. Thev lost the name however, on a blocked kick, 13-6. h The Tigers—a fighting-plunging-tearing-clawing-smashing-driving-team• are proud of you. we Back how, left to right—DeLong, Strand, Thompson, Dunn, Sting, Charlton, Buchanan, Coach McKenzie.

T-Bo well remembers Newt. “Iticb” Strand, captain of 1925 team was one of Coach McKenzie’s most valuable men.

In the Union game he played a brand of football that did credit to his school and to the team. The head work showed that he had more than average ability and we are looking for him in the future. Vernon Sherwood, skipped around through many lines in Eastern Oregon and he could always be counted on for three, four, or five yards. He will be a valuable man next year. Floyd Berry, the man who took Smutz’s place at tackle. You filled the bill. Floyd, and your fight was always commented on. “Chet” Stalcup, came to us at mid-season and we don’t think anyone could have come and played better ball than you. Many of our opponents will remem- ber your smashes. Hillard Brown, if you ever want to hit a stone wall, try Brown. Union knows this. Wayman Scott, Scotty, you have been responsible for many a Tiger victory and if all Tigers had your fight and grit. La Grande would always have winning teams. Dale Charieton played in hard luck all year long and although he had many injuries, he fought when he could. Next year he should be a star of Eastern Oregon. (fi«) Scott Baker-La Grande Game Charj.ton JBnskcthftll T.Y the realization of any great undertaking there are always those who pat heart and soul into the work, not for the glory, hut for the love of the cause. So it is with those who have helped in the realiza- tion of an Eastern Oregon Championship basket ball team, .Is team manager for the season, Leslie Keffer merits the appreciation of both team and school. “Les” stuck to the team through t h i c k and thin. Glory to “Les” comes, not in cheers from the side- lines, but in heartfelt ap- preciation from the coach, the team and the school. “We’ll go to Salem, Coach.” So said the basketball men at the beginning of the season, and they dill go. La Grande was given credit for having the fastest and best basketball team that has ever represented Eastern Oregon in the State Tournament, and their season record substantiates this. The first game, with Union, found Hi-I)ads, townspeople and students flood- ing the gym to see the Tigers climb the first rung of the championship ladder. We were off! The next week saw the Tigers remove a several year jinx when they defeated Joseph on her home floor to the tune of 19-1(5. Enterprise, Wallowa—all fell by the wayside, even Baker, our last year’s champions and a formidable team this year met with defeat both in the first and the return games. And, on our own floor, we defeated Baker by a large margin with three second string men. Perhaps the most thrilling game of the season was the Pendleton-La Grande fray in which La Grande finally emerged victorious over the six-foot Buckaroos after two over-times had been taken. La Grande lost in the return game with Pendleton, partly because of the floor, and partly because it was an off night. Then the tournament. Business was abandoned and fully one thousand Tiger fans crammed the Union tournament gym when La Grande and Wallowa came on the floor for the opening game. The outcome was a hard pill to swallow, for Wallowa won. Stoddard was physically incapacitated and out entirely; Berry was ill; Zundel harassed by an infected hand; Hanks weakened from sickness on the eve of the tournament, the team was at its worst for the year. The game demonstrated two refreshing points: (1) The Tigers could take a licking like gen- tlemen and come back the next day stronger because of the loss; (2) The fans were not quitters and stood closer than ever, pulling for straight victories through the rest of the double- elimination tournament. The rabid thousand that came over from La Grande for each game saw a team more like its real self through the rest of the plays and Prairie City, North Powder, Wallowa, Baker, and then finally, Joseph, fell in quick succession. In spite of the handicap at the start. Tigers and admirers never doubted a moment what the final results would be. District champions, we greet you! With the gonfalon of the district floating over La Grande High, “On to Salem” became the war cry. The departure on an early morning train with the cheers of townsfolks and student body; the trip to Portland and Salem, the favorable im- pression on pre-state tournament fans; the caravan of boosters in autos; the tele- grams from home; and finally the drawing for teams in Willamette gym all these things are fresh history. Wasco it is. So he it. The warm-up on the enormous floor ’mid seas of strange faces; rabid La Granders led by Lawrence Bay; the whistle, and the battle is on. Within a minute or two the outcome becomes cer- tain. La Grande wins her opening struggle. Fates decree it shall be Salem next time—Salem touted as the best in the West and on her own floor. The whistle again, and the semi-final is on. A quarter neck and neck; another in which Salem forges to the lead; the return from the dressing room at the third with Tigers up to their notorious third quarter dash; we creep up, we reach, we pass the cham- pions of 1926; we drop our customary machine play and commence heaving from mid-floor. The die is cast. We are not going to Chicago. The consolation doesn’t matter much the next day, and the 1927 tournament is over, ves, but not forgotten because the Tigers were gentlemen first, hard fighters all the time, and left an impression on state sports, critics, and coaches. Like the folks at home, the folks at Salem liked the Tigers because they’re clean and everybody knows it. Coach McKenzie McCorkle Stoddard Stalcup Baker Newlin Zundei. Lyman Hanks Berry Mose“ Lyman skippered the squad wisely and well. A dead eye Fete from any angle of the floor, shifty, a willing worker; strong for team play, fans admit that he is one of the best players that La Grande has ever seen. Picked as captain and center on the mythical district team and given center on the second string of Oregon, Mose has an enviable record. Tubby Zundei, at forward this year after three at guard, is of such caliber that none could deny him his place on the district all-stars. Captivating to the fans loyal to coach and team mates, he possessed all the ingredients of a school favorite. He knows and plays basketball. May there always be Tubby Zundels As 'iii' football1, N’ewlin took to basketball his first year like a duck to water. He had acquired much of the finesse of basketball in a few weeks time. hast, faster than a race horse, “Newt” won his spurs hands down. Without being odious he is very comparable to a flea—it was hard for any guard to put his finger on “Newt.” Hanks lent stability to the team. Experienced, cool, dangerous with long throws; physically fit to stand the gaff of running guard he earned well all the nraise he got He meshed with team play readily, and a good guard was he. “You shall not pass” said the Bock of the Marne to the Bosche in France. Berry is another Rock of the Marne. Standing guards come into the world like noets and artists, just naturally born that way. So was Berry. He has the knack, the heart and the head. Seldom, if ever, has La Grande had a better barrier against shots under the basket. , , . Stoddard spared at forward and he’s a fighter. Watch him go next winter McCorkle won his letter at forward with dash and willingness to play ball. He has a great year coming up,’cause he’s a good player. Stalcup is versatile, playing well any place he is put. Many a time he met the call to duty with sterling effort. Baker is naturally an athlete. He does all things athletic well, and because he Stoddard, McCorkle and Stalcup could fill in in a pinch, La Grande had two basketball teams in the squad, either of which was a credit to La Grande High.

However, dual meets have demonstrated that L. H. S. will be a contender when tiie big annual classic is held. At this writing L. II. S. has won its two dual meets, and the county meet, each handily. Track outlook was bad when spring training started. Tubby Zundel is a twenty-point man in any meet but he was ineligible because of four prior season letters. Much new material had to be developed. As training progressed pros- pects brightened and when the inter-class meet was held Coach McKenzie lost some of his gloom for new men were showing class and veterans were shaping into winning form. The Baker dual at La Grande came. Coach dubious; fans uncertain; weather cool but clear. Baker all but swept the boards in the century and our stock sank. A poor start, but oh, what an ending! The final outcome was L. H. S. 105, Baker 45. Too bad, Baker, we have won from you five times this year. The following week we met Pendleton and defeated them on their own field 84% to 64%. This contest was better and things looked brighter still. In the county meet held April 30 at Union, no particularly good records were made but again La Grande won. No review of track would be complete or fair without some mention of the point winners. In an interview with “Mac” we learn: Hermit Davis, Captain- -880 man. None better. Lynn Smutz—220, 440, broad jump. Always good for two firsts. “Mose” Lyman—220 hurdles, 120 hurdles, high jump, pole vault. Good for twenty points. K. Vaught—Broad jump, high jump. E. McCorkle—Broad jump, high hurdles. Good for five points. L. Keffer—Weights and 100 yard dash. Should break Eastern Oregon record. I). Charlton—Weights and javelin. Another fifteen-point man. 1 . Nevlin 440, 220 and relay, hirst year in track, but coming big. H. Wolfe—Jumps and vault. A fine all round prospect. E. Berry—High hurdler, high jumps. Watch him in ’28. E. Snyder—Weights. Good prospects. S. Price—Low hurdles, 220, relay. Will break records. W. Stoddard—Pole vault and discus. Fast developer and good timber. C. Anson—880 and mile. A great miler. Big things expected next year. H. Brown—A strong miler. Lots of endurance. J. Sayre—Another good miler yet to be heard from. Bantz Durland Coach Johnson Gregg Ansell Cochran, Stange, Campbell, Patricia Longfellow, Courtney, Reynolds, Nelson (6irlsf askrtbnll This year’s basket ball season for girls proved a very successful and gratify- ing one. La Grande’s Blue and White Tigresses were able to win the Eastern Oregon Championship, which the same team, with one exception, also carried off last year. Six games were played by La Grande’s sextette, all of which were victories for our team. No one individual player could be given credit for these games. Among the five veterans of last year’s team were the two fast guards, Lois Nelson and Marjorie Reynolds. An almost unerring judgment of distances and ability to stick to her opponent made Lois a valuable defensive player. Marjorie’s quick interference and sure passes made her vital to victory. In the forward positions were Lena Campbell and Mildred Courtney. Lena was easily high point player of Eastern Oregon. Her ability to throw baskets from any position on the floor made her invaluable and a mainstay on the team. Mildred proved her worth as a running mate and could always be relied upon to give her best when it was most needed. This was a strong point in winning of close games. Ann Stange in her position at side center proved the Waterloo to every offense of the enemy. She had an unusually high jump and could break up the opponent’s play with seeming ease. This was Betty Cochran’s first year at the center position, but she played like a veteran. Her long reach which en- abled her to pick the ball out of the air, together with her speed and endurance, made her a strong defensive and offensive player. Bertha Bantz, who took Betty’s place when Betty was ill with “flu” during the Union game, made prospects for the next year look unusually bright. Peggy Gragg took Lena’s place for the first half in the same game with whirl- wind tactics that will in all probability give her a place on the first team next sea- son. The other members of the squad deserving of much credit are: Ruth Durland, Phyllis Ansell, Doris Cade, HeJma Rasmussen, Mildred Standley, Marva Lyman, Guilda Ashby and Jane Stange.' To Miss Johnson, coach of the girls’ team goes major credit for the girls’ vic- tories. Her faithfulness and tireless work with the girls, as well as her words of encouragement before conflicts, played a large part in the winning of the Eastern Oregon championship. Little Patricia Longfellow, daughter of Superintendent and Mrs. J. T. Long- fellow, was the girls’ mascot (73) 3imtmr Humor could not have been lacking in these old school days. Many a pioneer when recalling his early experiences has a hearty laugh over some amusing ex- perience or prank. Fourth of July and Hallowe’en were fun days de luxe for the youngsters. Many a blood-curdling prank related best not be told, for fear some modern mischief-maker might attempt to repeat it. One that always draws a laugh is the story of the Hallowe’en eve when the belfry of the white school was visited by several daring boys and a sheep. The sheep remained over night and apparently enjoyed its experience in the heights, but its visit was short lived when the school officials discovered it the next morn- ing. A group of abashed boys were compelled to return poor “sheepie” to its normal habitat. Perhaps the most interesting fact about this prank is that the participants in- cluded fathers of two well known members of this year’s senior class, Dorothy Ann Warnick and Jean Williams! Another incident is told concerning an experience in the classroom of the Blue Mountain University. It was visitors’ day at the University and a number of proud but anxious mothers were awaiting the recitation of their respective “prodigies” in the Latin class. Naturally, the “prodigies” were in a state of hor- rible fear. The teacher, realizing the nervousness of his students, decided to call up his most dependable Latin student—the marvel of the other “would-be Ciceros.” Imagine the chagrin of the teacher when his top student stammered “unpre- pared.” This so upset the rest of the class that the professor went the whole round without finding a single student who could utter anything but “unpre- pared.” However, the school teacher had his hour when report cards were dis- tributed. All students thoroughly realized then that they were indeed “unpre- pared.” Students of today are wont to complain when the teacher “tip-toes” into a room, often thus creating an embarrassing situation for unlucky mischief-makers. But trials and tribulations of today are nothing when compared to those of earlier days, for then the schoolroom floors were covered with sawdust, apparently to settle the dust, but, according to one-time students, actually a deliberate means of trapping culprits!

Head Iasi year's Mimir. Bang—just as he pulled the switch a fuse blew out and Boh was saved from the clutches of death. “Aha!” shouted Cortez Pasha Hat. jumping up and making for the door. “I will have a fuse in ten minutes. I must have my killing or I can’t enjoy my dinner.” But (.ortez made a big mistake. As he jumped up he pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket and as he did so a whole handful of new shiny gold pieces dropped out on the floor with a crash. (jrab him, men,” cried our hero, “He’s the real hank robber, lie’s the brains of the gang.” Before Cortez had plunged halfway to the door a hundred hands were on him. He fought like a madman. As Bob Southerlin tore through the mob of en- raged men, he hurled men in every direction, and soon he and the terrible Cortez Pasha Hat (alias Irvin Zundel, leader of the notorious Cut ’Em and Shoot ’Em gang) were the sole occupants of the room. “Now, dog,” growled Bob (who admitted that his name was Lynn Smutz) “take your medicine and take it like a man.” “Ay, there will be medicine taken all right,” replied Cortez, “but I shall fur- nish the stuff myself.” And so saying he threw himself upon our husky specimen of manhood. They battled across the room and they battled back again, they battled standing up and they battled on the floor. But Bob Southerlin was a man of might who took care of himself, while Cortez Pasha Hat was undermined by the germs of dissi- pation. After twelve hours and thirteen minutes of strenuous fighting, Bob land- ed a husky blow upon the chin of the villain and Cortez Pasha was down for the count. Bob called the men in and soon the leader of the Cut ’Em and Shoot ’Em gang was securely bound and placed in a saw-proof cell. Bob went to the arms of his sweetheart. Dotty Wade (Dorothy Ann Warnick). One evening as they were sitting in the parlor of the Judge’s house, the old man asked them when they were to be married. Bob and Dotty looked at each other for a few moments and then they both stared at the Judge. “Why,” quoth the fair maiden, “Bob hasn’t asked me to marry him yet.” ’Twas only too true, Bob had been so absorbed in her safety that he hadn’t proposed. “Well, I’m an old blundering fool,” stated the kind old man, “but Bob Souther- lin is worse than I am.” “Dotty,” purred the answer to a maiden’s prayer, “I’m proposing right now; when will you marry me?” Dotty had it in her mind to say “Never,” but when she saw the light in his eyes she immediately answered, “Tomorrow.” Bob was overcome with joy and the Judge was overcome with mirth but like any old man he knew when three was a crowd and left the two lovers alone. The next morning the whole town was astir early for that was the morning that the villain was to be hanged and the hero was to be married. Everyone was to go to the wedding and then they would all go and enjoy the hanging. The sher- iff and his deputies were to go to the wedding for how could Cortez Pasha Hat get out of the new saw-proof cell? He couldn’t, that was all, he just couldn’t. It was an impossibility. The whole populace crowded into the little church and soon everything was in readiness. Promptly at 10:00 the bride was led down the aisle and everyone was im- pressed with the beauty of the fair maiden. And now the parson was opening his book and now he was beginning the ever fascinating speech, “do you take this woman-------” “Sure, I’ll take her,” sounded a gruff voice from the back of the room, and Cortez Irvin Pasha Hat Zundel walked down the aisle, a gun in each hand and his eagle eyes upon the hero, for he knew Bob Southerlin Smut , was the man to watch. A thousand arms started for a thousand guns, but men appeared at the doors and windows as if by magic. The people had not reckoned with the brains of Cortez’s lieutenant, Mose Lyman. By digging under the jail Mose was able to get his chief out of the cell. “Now dog! pig! hypocrite!” roared the evil one, “she shall be mine and you shall die.” And suiting the action to his words he grabbed the bride-to-be and threw her over his shoulder. Slowly, slowly, he raised his gun until it was even with the head of Lynn. Then slower yet his finger began to close upon the trigger, and after what seemed years to the occupants of the church there came a roar and (Bead the next installment) Sadie: “I prayed for you last night.” Kermit: “Next time telephone.” The news that lipsticks carry microbes doesn’t seem to have impressed the public much.

Francis Newlin Office Dog, Office Cat. Errand Boy - - Ann Stange SKUL SKANDAL!! Dame Gossip has it that one of the most popular and outstanding men on I-a Grande Hi's victorious foot- ball team recently met his Waterloo at a Pendleton dance. The young gentleman in question has an unloos- ing athletic record which is topped by his spectacular plays in the recent Pendleton-Li Grande football game Armistice Day. Itesid s this he is endowed with a per- sonality and a face that make him quite popular with the fair sex. Accordingly when the Tigtr team was re- turning fmm its disastrous trip to Walla Walla, our hero, who shall be nameless to spare his blushes, decided he needed some diversion. For this reason he stopped in Pendleton and went to a dance. As if happened one of the Pendleton young ladies chanced to please his fickle fancy. In tin course of the evening tlnv became quite friendly, and he si� emcd to captivate her fancy. While dancing with others. In continually turned hit ardent gaze upon her. “How charming she is. In- thought as he watched her animated conversation with other Pendleton lasses. (No premonition warned him of his fat.-, which was even then brewing) Eagerly In- pressed through the throng; triumphantly forcing aside other young men in his haste. It was then our young friend (once again we forbear to name him) made his never-to-be-forgotten mistake. HE TOLD THE YOUNG LADY HIS NAME, which we have withheld. Then blundering on, little knowing he had made the fatal error, he asked the Pendicton maid for the last dance. The young Miss from Pendleton Hi tilted her perfectly |H rfeot nose at him and turned her lieautiful cool stony gaze at the audacious L. H. S. football hero. With a disdainful toss of her head she smiled sweetly as she stiffly said, “You’ve had it! It were kindness here to forbear comment on the young man’s further actions. FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! HANKS TO THE RESCUE Inmates of L. II. S. saved from terrible death by quick action of cool-headed athlete. The occupants of the upper hall of L. II. S. stood petrified as they were suddenly faced with sudden death by drowning or slow starvation on the roof of the bulid- ing, when some heartless villains turned on the water in the fire hose near the boys' lookers. All seemed lost! Suddenly, maddened by the thought of HER natty tan oxfords (she had gone clear to Pendleton to get them) being spotted, Eldon forgot his own shoe shine and faultlessly creased trousers as he dashed in and turned the water off. A huge sigh of relief, which burst from the on-lookers, sent the accumulated water down the stairs into the lower hall where it was mopped up by Mae’s huge hectograph sponge. The students whose lives had been so heroically saved voted to have the name of Eldon Hanks inscribed on the roll of La Grande Hi’s great. ’NEVER ALL WET AND NEVER DRY” DISCOVERY MADE After considerable and careful research, the staff has, by untiring and strenuous efforts, foiuid the reason for thr success of Robert (Mike) Sullivan with the ladies.

THE DREADED DISEASE DOROTHY EBERHARD AFFLICTED March 27. 1S80—Yesterday, while herding cattle on her ranch Dorothy Elx-rhard. the beloved leader of the Young Women’s Pig Club, was suddenly attacked by that most feared and terrible malady: SPRING FEVER. (It se«ms that it is often fatal.) At the first onset of this infirmity she fell from her horse to the ground and, with the most direful and horrible shrieks, lay writhing in pain. As this paper was going to press the citizens of Fools- ville had decided to force her into some safe retreat where she would be prevented from coming in contact with others. THE OLD TIN-TYPE CLASS DISTURBED While the Mimir staff wsa industriously setting type for their annual, one of them let out the awful howl, a rut! Of course all of the girls proceeded to find the nearest bench, chair or stool on which to jump. Then happened to be only one man in the class and naturally he was the hero. Hermit Ruga in was his name. When all of the girls cried, Save me! he was so flustered that he did not know what to do. Then the rnt (supposedly) dashed past the door again and an- other volume of wails was heard. By this time Hermit had his bearings and dashed into the office and got Tubby Zundel another brave man. Together they cliuscd th. rat (which really was a squirrel) up and down the steps. Tubby ran into the office and got out the old megaphone which had seen many a fight, and after tedious chasing they got the squirrel under it. Hermit then got a new net from the science room and trans- ferred the squirrel, by the tail, into the net. They took their prize into the Tin-Type room ami showed it to their instructor, Mrs. Hays. Mrs. Hays, thinking it was a nit. squealed at the top of her voice for help. They had to «ill out the first-aid club to quiet her. When they told her that the rat was a squir- rel, she condescended to take a look at it. The class was quite upset over their frightful scare and it was some time before they got settled down to resume their Tin-typing. They raised chickens. Beauty Parlor (minus the beauty). Have a hite.

You’d better take a chair.” Joseph Zaugg: “May, I guess I’ll have to have one of your senior pictures. The one I have is getting rather worn.” May Clay: “What have you been doing with it, letting your little brother play with it?” Jo Zaugg: “No, I just naturally wore it out holding it.” The Height of Hard Luck in Grandad’s Day: To get a haircut just before an Indian massacre.
