Since all freshmen are supposed to be green, they chose for their motto Green Leaves Never Fall.” The officers for that first successful year were Tom Bruce, President, Forrest Holmes, Vice-President and Edna Gekeler Baxter, Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsors for that year were Miss Thompson and Mrs. Young. As far as freshmen may be successful, these Rooks of ’24 had a big year. They won first place in the stunt contest and showed that they had good possibilities in athletics and music. Live wires for this year were Dorothy Brownton and Marion Crowe. In the fall of 1925 the Class of ’28 returned, one year wiser and one year nearer the goal of graduation. Tom Bruce was reelected President, Richard Geist Vice-President and Edna Gekeler Baxter Secretary-Treasurer. This year as in the preceding year, the Class of ’28 showed its worth. They gave a tea for their parents, and were also rep- resented in the operetta by such members as Ed Buchanan, Marion Crowe and Tom Bruce. They did well in athletics, probably having a few more girls than boys take part. The school year of 1926 began with much success for the Junior Class. The officers for the year were Marion Crowe, President; Sylvia Malone, Vice-President, and Edna Baxter Secretary-Treasurer. This year Marjorie Reynolds and Richard Geist were the live wires. The sponsors were Mrs. Hays, Miss Lee and Mr. Thomas. The Junior Play presented was Captain Applejack,” and with such members as Marion Crowe, Bertha Bantz, Edna Baxter, Vernal Shoemaker and others taking the parts, the play couldn’t help being one of the best ever presented in La Grande High School. The Juniors took second place in the stunt contest. They also gave a successful tea for their mothers. In athletics they showed their merit, though they were not represented by a large number. A number of the girls and boys won athletic letters. The Senior year, is of course, the greatest year in the life of any high school student. The year started well, with Miss Lillie, Mr. Hawk and Mr. McEachran advisors, and the class officers as follows: President, Vernal Shoemaker, Vice-President, Richard Geist and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Irwin. Though the Seniors were very busy studying and taking part in all other activities that take up so much time of such worthy individuals, they found time to give a very successful tea for their mothers, put on a very good stunt, and give another splendid play. This year the play chosen was Kempy,” and the cast included the following seniors: Tom Bruce, Wilma Schroeder, Martina Sams, Kenneth Owen, Phillis Ansell, Edwin Rogers, Amy Brown and Vernal Shoemaker. The Senior Class of ’28 is the largest that has ever graduated from La Grande High School. They leave behind them four successful years, and look forward to a successful future for all. 81 UN? . 19 Junior Class The Junior Class of ’29 is now on the third mile stone of its career, having passed the Freshman and Sophomore years with flying colors. At the head is the President, Lawrence Bay, assisted by Cleland Wallsinger, Vice- President, and Ruth Durland, Secretary-Treasurer. These officers have helped the Junior Class overcome all obstacles with the aid of Mr. Thomas. Our class numbering nearly 140, is said to be the largest Junior Class in Eastern Oregon. Football, the opening activity of the season, attracted many Junior boys but the first big event of the year was the Junior Play, A Pair of Sixes.” This was heralded with great success. The money realized from the play was used to defray the expenses of the Junior-Senior Banquet held April 26. The banquet was one of the most enjoyable socials of the year. The tea held on February ro, revealed some of the remarkable talent in the class. Jane Stange, the general chairman, was assisted by able committees, and through their efforts, pleasing results were achieved. Perhaps the most outstanding thing that this class has accomplished is the adoption of the standard” school ring. This was received with enthusiasm by the entire Student Body. The ring will be used for a period of three years at least, and we hope, indefinitely. A large number of the Juniors have participated in the other various school activities such as band, orchestra, and Glee Club. Every function has been entered with pep and the finest of school spirit” has been shown by the Juniors through the whole year. The Mascot fight held in April closed the contest between the Juniors and Seniors and was a happy event enjoyed by all. 20 —Jennie Nielson. Sophomore Class In coming back to school this fall the class of 1930 found themselves reduced in numbers but individually four inches taller and six volumes wiser. Quality but not Quantity” fitted our class in all activities throughout the year. To start the year out right a class election was held in which Robert Stoddard was elected President, Roland Pierce, Vice-President and Margaret Cunliffe, Secretary-Treasurer. To pep up the class, Claire Perkins and Francis De Long were elected. In football our quality showed up in Roe, Guhleman and Beickel. In basketball we beat the Rooks in both quality and quantity, having Roe for the quality and Zundel and Stoddard for quantity. In the class stunts we had the best although the judges didn’t think so. Francis Lewis was Pendleton; Guy Andrews, La Grande; Claire Perkins, a six year old pest; Roland Pierce, a mourner and pallbearer; Gene McLain, pallbearer; Bliss Leslie, preacher; Lee Johnson an eighty-year- old mourner and a hick band composed of I.eland Hale, Rulon Zuagg, Al Zwiefel and Stanley Zundel. Our class has had the reputation of not being a very peppy bunch but we are all naturally quiet and peaceful. All we ask is that next year, the High School try to keep up with us. 21 —Stanley Zundel. Freshman Class Who in the class of 1931 will forget their first day in high school? Such rushing through the halls! Such running up the stairs! Everyone asking the other, Where do we go? Finally with the kind assistance of the Sophomores we found our place. Our class, the largest in history, consists of two hundred members. At our first class meeting we elected our officers: Cecil Black, President; Harold Hoyt, Vice-President; Ruth McAllister, Secretary-Treasurer; Russel Nelson, Yell Leader; Gene Faus and Jacqulein O’Brien, Live Wires. Our class has given a good account of itself this year. In football Gene Faus, Warren Reese, Robert Evans, and Raymond Harlow known as the Four Horsemen” were our able representatives. In basketball our boys team consisted of Gene Faus, Warren Reese, Robert Evans, Oswald McMurren, Harold Hoyt and Virgil Conley. Our girls’ team coached by Phyllis Ansell consisted of Mildred Cade, Reta Conner, Edna Turner, Mary Nowland, Margaret Milne, Mary Anne Gietlhuber and Jacqueline O’Brien. In the pep contest, sponsored by the student body, we ranked first most of the year. This is unusual as the Seniors usually walk away with all the honors. On April ninth we had our Freshman Tea in honor of mothers which was a great success. Through the help of our advisors, Miss Bickford, Miss Holt and Miss Southard, and through the cooperation of the officers and students the Freshmen have had a very successful year. —Jacqueline O’Brien. 22 To the Class of ’31 The class of ’28 we know is worthy of much praise. The class of ’29 also has many winning ways. The class of 30, next in line Must have its place for it is fine. The last to mention in terms of years Is the class which is to me most dear; We have a number strong and new With pep and courage and ideals true. We’ll back our school, and teachers grand, Our teams, and class-mates to the man. So here’s to the boys and girls, bar none, Who belong to the class of ’31. Alumni George Anderson U. of O.

This body was organized several years ago, and since then, has done so much to help in every activity that the Student Body has come to feel that it would be im- possible to do without it. It is not only the help of the Hi-dads that has done so much for L. H. S., but it is also the spirit that the organization has instilled in the High School. In 1926 the Hi-Dads created an Honor Society which has done much to raise the standards of scholastic standing among the students. Any senior who has remained on the Honor Roll for a given number of semesters may earn a Hi-Dad Honor Pin. Under the present Honor System he must earn twelve points for the Temporary Honor Roll, each semester. Points may be acquired by taking part in activities as well as by scholastic standing. This gives all students a chance for a place on the Honor Roll. The Hi-Dads have given the best of support to all of the school activities, especially the games. Their co-operation in attending, helping in the yelling, and lending their influence toward the other people in town has done much to give our school a name of being well supported by the townspeople. Grand-Dad Step-Dad Ho-Dad Pay-Dad Ben. F. Hummelt Warren Gilbert W. M. Peare Executive Committee The main organization of the La Grande High School is found in the Student Body. All school activities, plays and regular school life, function under the supervision of the Student Body. The Executive Committee consists of a president, a vice-president, a secretary- treasurer, and a business manager. These officers are elected from the Student Body, and may be nominated by any class, with the exception of the president, who must be an upper classman. The Principal of the High School and the Superintendent are sponsors. The Student Body has been very successful in the supervision and financing of school activities. Reading from left to right in the picture are: Mr. Towler Kenneth Owen Mr. Longfellow Maurice Baker Phyllis Ansf.ll Tom Bruce . . . . 26 Principal Business Manager Superintendent Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer President Live Wires The Live Wires were first organized about four years ago. Each class elects two representatives who work with their officers and endeavor to bring more pep and liveliness into all activities. The sale of tickets, class plays, etc., are under the super- vision of the Live Wires. A contest is held between the four classes, in which the class having its reports completed and the money returned in first, wins. It is the business of the Live Wires to see that this is accomplished; consequently, it often in- volves a great deal of work and responsibility. The Live Wires by classes are: Freshmen juniors Jacqueline O’Brien and Eugene Faus Mildred Standley and Howard Sargent Sophomore Frances DeLong and Claire Perkins Seniors Martina Sams and William Perry 27 A. G. S. President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Third Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Faculty Advisor Assistant Advisor Edwardine Malone Catherine Buckley Sylvia Malone Irene Spencer Dorothy Brownton Miss Vernon Miss Johnson The A. G. S. was organized in 1920 for the purpose of creating honor, service and friendship for the girls of L. H. S. Automatically each girl who enters La Grande High School becomes a member of the A. G. S. and in order that each may have a part in the activities of the organization every girl is assigned as a member to one of the following standing committees: Hospitality, Big Sisters, Trail Seekers, Social, Minute Girls, Publicity, Lost and Found, Service, Memory Book, Talent, Program, Scholarship, Hiking, Financial, Kodak, Nature Study, Employment, Community Service, Refresh- ment, Friendly, Point, Health, First Aid, Civics, Creed, Noon Hour, Rest Room, Standards, Etiquette, and Home Room Representatives. The A. G. S. functions under the guidance of a faculty advisor and an assistant advisor. It provides a monthly social of some kind for the girls, sponsors programs and lectures, and plans to take care of the girls’ social life to the best of its abilities. 28 Speed Artists This year a great deal of interest has been manifested in both the shorthand and typing classes. The enrollment increased so much that new equipment had to be added. Much work is done along practical lines. In the local typing contest Phyllis Ansell, Mar- garet Danks and Loris Ledbetter representing the advanced division and Theresa Tabor, Ethel Sayre and Catherine Humphreys, representing the lower division were the winners. These girls went to the Eastern Oregon contest at Pendleton and carried off high honors. Towards the close of the second semester the Commercial Department gave an exhibit showing various uses of typing and shorthand. The girls took dictation demonstrating to those attending the speed and practicalness of shorthand. 29 Kempy The Senior Class of ’28 presented the three-act comedy, Kempy,” on February 22 and 23. This play was produced by special arrangement with Samuel French of New York and proved to be a great success. Impulsive Katheryn Bence marries a plumber after a two hours acquaintance. Later she finds that she is still in love with Duke, a friend of the family and a former lover and leaves Kempy who in turn falls in love with the little sister, Ruth. Dad, Ma, Jane and Ben Wade furnish a great deal of amusement and entertainment.

The play dealt with a continued business quarrel of two partners, George B. Nettleton and T. Boggs Johns. Although T. Boggs Johns became the butler of George Nettleton by George’s lucky draw in a poker game of a pair of six’s, he succeeded in winning the love of Florence Cole. Mrs. Nettleton added much to the dramatic power of the story and was finally successful in establishing a friendly relationship between her husband and his business partner. CAST George B.

The action takes place on an imaginary island near the coast of Normandy, ruled by the Duke of Beaujolais, where a spring festival is in progress. The appearance on the scene of an American yachting party causes considerable excitement in the village and the Duke arranges a garden party in their honor. During the hilarity a great deal of confusion occurs. The girls of the party and the French girls mask as each other, much to the bewilderment of their companions. However, things straighten themselves out in the end and everyone is happily situated. SCENES Act I—A Public Square in Beaufleur. Morning. Act II—A Garden Party at Castle Beujolais. Evening.

Bedtime Music by the Bats” Band The Band was organized by Mr. Nusbaum in April, 1927. Though unable to accomplish a great deal last spring, great strides were taken when school began again in the fall. It became the best Band in Eastern Oregon, and successfully played at many different places. A great deal of credit is due the musicians. Twenty-five mem- bers were taken down to Corvallis to the State Band Contest in April and did very creditable work there. Some of the selections played by the Band are: Indian Trail,” Sliding Some,” Parade of the Elephants,” United America,” Lustspcil” and Dimples.” Stanley Zundel Bernard Powell Clark Ruckman Cameron Miller Dorothy Brownton Kenneth Owen William Caldwell Bernita Pierson Mary Culp Russel Nelson Cecil Black PERSONNEL Kathryn Metcalf Ben Oesterling Wayne Nusbaum Adolph Seigrist Henry Culp Max McMillan Clcland Wallsinger Virgil Kochensparger Guy Andrew Edw 'in Kirby Lloyd Yeck Arlo Noyes Rulon Zaugg Lee Johnson Vernon DeLong Glenn Henderson Marvin Mackey Paul Bull Claire Perkins Carl McGinnis Melvin Palmer Harold Browning 34 Orchestra The Orchestra, under the direction of W.

It has furnished music at various clubs, luncheons and dinners, at the High School Assemblies, and at a special High School Motion Picture shown at the Arcade Theater.

The Club was organized for the purpose of promoting interest in History, to acquire knowledge, to further proper ideas of patriotism, and to secure more thorough training in citizenship. A program is arranged for each meeting which is not only educational, but also very entertaining. The programs consist of debates, orations, essays, musical numbers, plays, and slides. These are only a few of the interesting things that vary our combined meetings and programs. 38 —Constance Ray, ’28. Kenneth Owen Ben Oesterling Alyce Cook Edwardine Malone Louise Wetzel Dorothy Brownton Four Year Honor Students Students who made an average of ninety or more through their four years of high school are eligible to permanent honors. Permanent honors are the highest award the school can give to any student. They also automatically entitle one to a Hi-Dad Honor Pin. This year seven students, more than any previous year, qualified for these honors. Phyllis Ansell Dorothy Brownton Alyce Cook Edwardine Malone Ben Oesterling Kenneth Owen Louise Wetzel 39 Aviation Club The Aviation Club was organized this year under the sponsorship of Mr. Hawk. This club has a two-fold purpose in organization. The first is the study of commercial aviation and the technicalities of flying, and the second is model building. The officers of the club were elected by semesters. Those of the first semester were as follows: President, Garrett Humphreys; Vice-President, Vernon Patten; Secre- tary, Loren Blanchard; and Treasurer, William Miller. Those of the second semester were: President, Bliss Leslie; Vice President, William Miller; and Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Poarch. The boys have accomplished a great deal in their aviation study. Their main projects have been their model-making, and their discussions and studies of various phases of aviation. They have made a number of model planes, some of which have been flown successfully. William Miller made the best record with his plane, which was in the air a minute and a half. Some of their studies have been surprising in their interest and the response with which the boys have studied them. They have observed the records of different aviators, discussed the materials for planes and almost all other aspects of aviation. 40 Hiking Club This year the Hiking Club has accomplished more than ever before. Alyce Cook was elected president, and Miss Sorenson acted as advisor, with Miss Vernon as assistant- advisor. These three were out every Saturday morning, rain or shine, cold or hot, ready and eager to lead the girls on their hikes. We are proud to announce that this year the girls were actually given letters for their hiking, those being eligible who attended a certain number of times. During the year the club covered about one hundred and fifty miles, seeing nature at its best and at its worst, including the annual trip to Cove. Some of the places to which they hiked were: Perry, Hilgard and Deal’s Canyon. Toward the end of the year the girls gave a skit for the assembly, showing the benefits of hiking and the good results obtained from it.

Tournaments are held in volleyball, basket- ball, baseball and tennis. A class track meet is also held. The tennis tournament is one of the outstanding events of the warm spring days. A great deal of interest has been shown and the more experienced players have given a great deal of their time in teaching under-class students the principles of the game. A cup is awarded to the winner of the singles and a small cup to each member of the winning team in doubles.

It was proved that there was a great deal of interest in the sport and the boys played in tournaments with both Union and Baker. The team representing the school in these consisted of Ben Oester- ling, Lawrence Bay, Stewart Merrill and Adolph Seigrest. This year the schedule of games is to be under the management of Harold Herr and class competition will be a feature. The winners of inter-class games will be the championship players.

H. S. family entertained their little sisters at the first A. G. S. party of the season. The little sisters had an enjoyable time and expressed the desire to continue the happy family relations. During the Harvest Moon season a Hallowe’en party was held in the appropriately decorated gym by the A. G. S. During the course of the party games were played, in keeping with the occasion. The futures of the guests were revealed by Sylvia Malone as fortune teller. A lunch of apples and doughnuts was served by the refreshment committee. The largest function of the season was a Christmas party honoring the mothers, held in the auditorium. First on the program was a solo by Bethel Trill. She sang At Dawning”, by Cadman, accompanied at the piano by Verle Ramm, and Bertha Bantz, violinist. Dorothea Harrison gave two readings and a trio consisting of Benja- min Oesterling, saxophone; Bertha Bantz, violin; and Dorothy Brownton, piano, played two selections. Bethel Trill sang The Holy City” and Miss Arnoldus, Domestic Art Instructor, read the story of The Fourth Wise Man” while slides were shown illustrat- ing the story.

It is cus- tomary to give this after the graduation exercises are over. The Seniors hope their mothers will not forget this time-honored custom. 48 Senior Poem We climbed the steps to L. H. S., When we were none but Rooks, Our hearts were all aflutter, And our eyes fixed on our books. The seniors thought themselves so big. And laughed and scoffed at us; The Sophomores sneered when we passed by. The Juniors had the crust. Then we did Sophomores get to be; And grew so smart and keen; We teased the timid little Frosh, And thought them all so green. We took a part in everything. We were a general pest. And in the hall did push and yell And act like all the rest. As Juniors, much did take our time. The play, the prom, and tea. We had more sense, and realized That we must serious be. We were a very busy lot. The days were none too long. We found that Alma Mater meant more than just a song. As Seniors we had more to do; Our days were full and crammed. We had no time for fun nor play The end was near at hand. Commencement time did soon arrive. It gave us joy and pain To leave our dear old school behind And ne’er return again. —Gloria McCollough.

For years he had looked forward to this—for years he had planned, hoped, and struggled to make this very goal—and now —here he was—ready to enter. Four years in the jungle, and then Puer would be able to make his place in the world! The thought thrilled him, even as he trembled at the vision of the unknown adventures before him. Boy though he was, he realized that he was the newest member of the jungle—all others would be above him—all others would be experienced—he alone would be ignorant and unwise, and he alone would be the victim of all their pranks. Puer sighed and looked back at the little village behind him. This was home to him. He was so familiar with everything about it—the people—the customs—everything. A lump started to form in his throat and he threw back his head proudly. Don’t be a baby!” he chided himself severely. It isn’t as if you can’t go home if you want to! You’ve got to make something of yourself!” He hesitated only a minute more—and then turned hastily and disappeared in the darkness of the jungle. He had no idea where he was going, but he stumbled on, strug- gling to overcome a homesickness that would come even before he could get out of hearing of the village, and bewildered and thrilled at the newness of all about him. He felt woefully young and ignorant. The monkeys chided him, playing tricks, and pro- voking him until sometimes angry, childish tears would start to his eyes. Their chiding and teasing, however, touched his pride and urged him on to make himself better and worthy of their respect. One day he met a huge gray elephant so large and awe- inspiring that he stood in speechless wonder gazing with mouth open. The elephant appeared not to notice him, and though Puer lingered a long time and tried vainly to win some token of recognition, he received none, and finally turned resignedly away. Sometime”, he told himself firmly, sometime, the monkeys will stop teasing and the elephant will notice me!” Life was very lonely for ignorant little Puer until he met the Tiger. It came about in this manner: Puer was walking desolately through the jungle one mild, warm morning when he came upon a group of excited, chattering monkeys. For a moment he hesitated, dreading to attract their attention for fear of their teasing, but he soon realized that they were giving him no thought whatever. He could gather little from their conversation except that they were going somewhere and that there were tigers and bobcats involved. He wandered on, sullenly hoping they’d go far and never return. In another clearing he came upon a group of elephants and found to his surprise that they, too, were talking about tigers and bobcats, and that they, too, showed much excite- ment. In spite of himself he began to feel a glow of interest and wished he dared ask what the commotion was all about. Not being brave enough to ask, he determined to follow them. They set out along a wide, well-trodden path, snatching gay bits of leaves and branches and waving them wildly as they went. Puer now felt a warm throb of anticipation and wondered breathlessly what was about to happen. He soon learned. Suddenly he came upon a large clearing, and there before him he saw a large arena crowded with noisy throngs of animals of all kinds. Puer felt a sudden warm feeling for the monkeys and elephants, who did, after all, give him some attention, in spite of their scorn. The elephants went in a body across the arena—and placed themselves— Puer gasped in delighted surprise—between the monkeys and the lions! Puer paid little heed to the monkeys, but watched the lions in admiration, for after all, he admired them most of any animal in the jungle. Then he felt a tense, sudden excitement! A large, bright coated tiger entered the arena from one side and from the other side came a large, fierce-eyed bobcat. Oh!” Puer cried breathlessly. They’re going to fight! Oh, how I hope the tiger wins!” A lion turned and looked at him curiously. 51 Climb up on my back, if you like,” he said. You can see better there.” Trembling with eager delight Puer climbed up on the lion’s back. He was deliri- ously happy and quivered with a strange new fear as the tiger and bobcat advanced into the arena. The fight that followed was a fierce one. Puer cheered with all his might—the lion roared and the monkeys chattered—and the tiger lost. And as the animals trailed slowly out, Puer stood with tears in his eyes and gazed at the tiger, lying in a scratched, bleeding heap in the arena. Why don’t you go to him?” he asked the other animals, pleadingly. He lost!” a hippopotamus said scornfully. Let him take care of himself!” And he gave a loud cheer for the victorious bobcat. Puer gazed a moment longer, and then with infinite pity, ran to the fallen tiger and stroked his coat gently. Never mind!” he said. I guess everyone loses out sometime. believe in you, whatever the rest say. I’m not much now, but I will be.” We’ll be something together, sometime,” the tiger replied, and closed his eyes wearily, as if he were in great pain. Time passed and every day Puer and tiger took a long walk through the jungle. They became fast friends, and soon everyone in the jungle realized that they meant a great deal to each other. The monkeys stopped their teasing, the elephants were kind and attentive to him, while the lions spoke to him kindly and watched over him with a possessive, paternal air. He had been in the jungle a long time now, had learned most of its secrets, and had found a kindly atmosphere in all that had awed him before. One day as he roamed through the jungle, followed by tiger, he came upon a group of lions lazily stretched out in the shade of a tree. Hello, Puer!” they called. Hello!” he replied, sitting down among them. We’ve decided,” one of the handsomest of the lions said impressively, with a kind look at tiger, that the bobcat is becoming too lordly to remain in this jungle. Tiger is well again and stronger than ever before. We propose that he challenge the bobcat to a fight!” Puer smiled. I don’t want tiger to fight,” he objected, stroking the animal’s smooth, silky skin. He is so beautiful now—I don’t want him all scratched and bleeding.” The tiger looked at him affectionately. Little friend,” he said, do you want me to live defeated all my life? It is the code of the jungle—I must fight him again.” Puer allowed himself to be persuaded, and at the decided day he took his place among the monkeys, elephants and lions. As before, the tiger and bobcat entered from opposite sides, and as before they advanced to meet each other, but this time there was ringing in the ears of the tiger a dear voice saying: Tiger, my tiger, I believe in you!” In the face of the bobcat the tiger saw the triumphant sneer of one who has once conquered. He made a sudden fierce lunge at the hated opponent, and the battle began. Puer’s heart stopped as the fight raged on, and sometimes he would bury his head in the loin’s silky mane and moan in agony as his beloved tiger, scratched and bleeding, gave a faint cry of pain. Then suddenly the lion gave a mighty roar of joy—and the air was filled with joyful shouting and screeching. Lie raised his head slowly to meet the big, triumphant eyes of tiger, as he stood looking toward his little friend, his paws on his fallen foe. With a cry of joy Puer rang to tiger, and throwing his arms around his neck, he pressed his cheek against the tiger’s torn, bloody throat. We’ve won!” he cried happily. We’ve won, tiger, and now we are a success in our jungle!” 52 —Doris Barnes. Static Plus Radio Station L. H. S. broadcasting from the left auricle of the heart of deepest Africa. Edwin Jack, eminent scientist, now speaking. Stand by for just a moment while he makes the hyena stop laughing at the fleas playing tag on the leopard’s spots. Mr. Jack, A. B., Ancient Bookworm, B. S., Boy Scout, B. A., Blissful Agonizer, will now address you on the subject: Are Camel’s Humps Permanent or Do They Shrink When Washed with Lux? Mr. Jack: First, from an evolutional point of view, take the lowly hairpin, third cousin of the camel because of its humps, never shrinks but the enamel peels off; as there is no enamel on camels it can’t peel off, so that really wouldn’t have any bearing on the subject at all. As I was saying, during the last hundred years camel’s humps haven’t bothered most people, because most of them ride in Fords. As I’m a man of very few words I won’t explain that in detail. Time out—just when I was getting good. My next address will be: Would People Stop Scratching If All the Fleas Disappeared or Would They Still Do it from Habit? That has the earmarks of a dirty dig. Hay, Larry, got your Caesar? Who wound you up? That’s a horse on you. Dodc, may I borrow a pencil?” Announcer: Please pardon the above static, but it always comes at regular inter- vals and they say the reason for it is general emptiness in the upper regions centered about the cranium.” However, the cause can by no means be obliterated because it is in as great a state of nothing now as it ever will be. Wilford Stoddard: As a horse laugh breaks in upon the jungle silence and smashes a window. No, sir; I will not name any of our children that, I don’t like it. Phyllis Ansell: Well, I think Alias” is a nice name. Wilford: Yes, but everybody who has that for a middle name always gets in jail, and I don’t want any of my children in jail. Phyllis: Say, my watch has stopped. Wilford: I bet a bedbug got between the ticks. Phyllis: Watcha eatin’? Wilford: Oh, a doughnut. Phyllis: Gimme one. Wilford: Nope, you’re too small, you’d fall through the hole. Phyllis: Now, don’t get too smart; I know when you were little you weren’t so bright. Wilford: How’s that? Phyllis: Well, you were always so conceited, and once you were saying the blessing at the table, and you ended it with in the name of Wilford Stoddard, Amen.” Announcer: That’s about all the home life we can have today. We will now have the bedtime story about the three bears. Bertha and Claude: Oh, heavens, not that, Cookie. Tell us one about Little Red Riding Hood. Once upon a time there was an awful old woman, who lived in the woods and sold anatomies. Now this woman was a ventriloquist. Do you know what a ventrilo- quist is, boys and girls? It’s a woman that can throw her voice, not throw it away like a baseball, but throw it out in the air so it sounds like it’s coming from where it isn’t, it’s a woman who can make her voice sound like it’s your grandmother speaking, and when you hear her talk you think it’s your grandmother speaking, only it isn t, but you don’t know that. This old lady would call up people and say she was their grand- mother, and she’d throw her voice so it would be like their grandmother’s and ask for 53 some good things to eat. Of course, then the people would send some dill pickles and hamburgers and milkshakes down to this old lady’s house. If daddy took it down, she would put on a veil and show him some very old home brew, and pretty soon, before the daddy knew it he was just another anatomy in some doctor’s collection. If you don’t know what an anatomy is and it’s because your parents haven’t told you, you’ve been terribly mistreated, because every child of the age of ten to twenty should know what one is so that he won’t sign a contract with some doctor to be an anatomy for him for the next ten years, for once you sign a contract to be an anatomy it’s a life- time job. Well, this old lady called up little Red Riding Hood’s mother and said she was not feeling well, and wondered if she would send over something nice to eat. Red Riding Hood was called her name because she went riding with a boy in a car that had a red hood. Well, little Red Riding Hood started out with the dill pickles and the chocolate wafers and met a wolf. Now this wolf was hired by the old lady, too, so he would get the little girls to race with him (so that they would be out of breath and utterly defenseless when they arrived and could be transformed into anatomies right away). If the girls were trying out for track this would be good training. This is an awful predicament to leave a little girl in with a big wolf just about to pluck her eye- brows, but it must be done, because it’s time out. Announcer: We’ll now have the weather report for Doom’s day, Hades. Hot, but not hot enough. The much hoped for rain will not be forthcoming. The ashes are about six inches deep today and will be eight tomorrow. The late arrivals will clear away the ashes so Dorothy and Ben can play tennis. Everybody sleepy? If you ain’t you ought to be. go to your first period classes. We’ll now sign off. Everybody —Alyce Cook. Sounds There is a sound of a passing motor. The radiator sings, Someone is tapping a pencil, The office telephone rings. The sound of the wind in the treetops, A book falls on the floor; My neighbor is crumpling paper. And someone slams a door. There are soft, sweet strains of music, A whistle fills the air with joy; The whirr of a pencil sharpener, The shouts of a jovial boy. A tense still moment of waiting, The bell gives forth its sound; The school is in an uproar— The students leave with a bound. —George Baumann. Lost! Strayed! or Stolen! By William Taylor Perry Ping”, spurted the bullet from Vernal Shoemaker’s pet Bee Bee gun as he stepped out of his back door to investigate the noise that he had heard in the barn of his famous cow, Bess”. The answer to his shot was only a thud as the bullet struck an adjoin- ing tree. Running out to the barn Vernal discovered that his Hol- stein had been kidnapped, which was evident by his exclamation, My goodness, some scoundrel has abducted Bess”. Hot footing it back to his domicile he informed his wife, the former Irene, of the calamity. In her surprise she was speechles, but finally draw- ing her thoughts together she asked, Oh! For heaven’s sake, who could have done this horrible deed?” But before her question could be answered her spouse had lifted the receiver of the tele- phone and asked for Flatfoot Oysterling, the famous detective’s number. Receiving it, the following conversation took place: Vernal: Is this Flatfoot Oysterling? F. Oysterling: Yes, and what of it? Vernal: Well, just this much—some one has stolen my internationally known Hol- stein cow Bess”. F. Oysterling: Oh, ho! So a mystery has come to my vicinity. Well, just leave it to me, nary a criminal gets away from my scrutiny. Hanging up the receiver Vernal turned to his wife and told her that he has solicited the aid of the famous detective. In not a very short time Flatfoot finally arrived. After his numerous inquiries he was off on the chase. Taking his snootograph from under his coat he pursued the trail of his fugitive. The trail led from the now empty barn to the deserted road that leads to the somber Moonshine Mountain. Closely his victim’s trail he followed to the foot of the mountain, where he was halted by the sound of a footstep. Crouching behind a bramble bush Oysterling waited until the newcomer was directly in front of him. At this moment he was privileged with a full face view of Ook McGlook, alias Claude Anson, the notorious thug and gang leader. When Mc- Glook had taken a turn in the road, the detective continued on the trail up the mountain. Traveling for what Flatfoot con- sidered a good three miles, but which was only a mile, he was frozen in his tracks by a distant Moo” of a bovine quadruped. By listening for a few seconds Oysterling was able to locate from which direction the screech of the wandering soul came. Turning his eager face in the direction from whence came the eerie cry, he plunged into the underbrush and continued on his erratic course up the side of the heap. In the course of time he achieved the top, where glancing about with flushed face and flashing eyes, he escricd in the near distance a lonely cabin nestled at the base of two tall trees. He dropped to the articula- tion of his leg and thigh bones in which position he cautiously crept up to the base of the cabin and oogled through the win- dow. Like an icy wave, a swift and tragic impression swept through him. THE COW! 55 With a leering grin on his evil face the villain, Big Bad Bill Bork was exultingly feeding the cow’s tail into the Frigidaire. Rushing to the door Oysterling triumphantly crushed into the room drawing his trusty pop-gun. ''Ah! Villain, at last you are in my clutches,” he cried as he snapped the manicles on the culprit’s wrist. Curses, caught! And when in the act of proving Mr. Hawk’s theory that a cow will give ice cream when his tail is frozen,” ejaculated the brooding captive. Grab the halter on her and drag Bess back to her owner,” commanded the now beam- ing Flatfoot, who had protected his name as a detective, which he had received from the I. C. S. The trudge back was uneventful. After an hour’s labor the two reached the farm of Mr. Shoemaker. The entrance to the Shoemaker residence was marked by a burst of eloquence by Mr. Oystrling. I here present to you a desper- ate convict that so cleverly but erraticly stole your cow from under your very noses. You now see him a broken man under the eyes of the law, which was represented by myself so faith- fully and successfully.” The conversation was interrupted at this point by an ex- clamation by Mr. Shoemaker: YOU BLACKGUARD! YOU’RE THE COWARDLY SPECIMEN THAT TEN YEARS AGO STOLE MY SISTER’S LOLLIPOP!” 56 Our Tiger In the shades of a jungle cavern A tiger lies so bold, Guarding over her little ones, Beautiful to behold. Magnificent, silken creature, Faithful unto the end, Her four little tiger babies Are there for her to tend. The smallest is the queerest, Very timid and shy; His coat is striped the funniest, But he is young, that’s why. The next cub is always sleepy, Snoring the whole day through; Doesn’t he rise and do something? Oh! He has naught to do. Her third child is always happy, Playing and full of glee. Forever thinking of mischief, Teasing his brothers three. The fourth is a bright-eyed dreamer, Thinking of future years When he shall roam through the jungle Free from his childhood fears. Loyal, thoughtful mother tiger! Her spirit lives in us, For we are her little children, Dreaming, making a fuss. Alyce Cook. IN MEMORIAM t t r OLIVE JUNE COTNER GENEVA BISHOP tty “When hearts, whose truth was proven Like thine, are laid in earth. There should a wreath be woven To tell the world their worth.” f tblehcs Football All men out for football” sounded through the halls of La Grande High during the first week of school. Down in the locker room the Tigers began their first battle of the season, which was to get suits. After outfitting most of the players with what there was the rest of the men brought old clothes to play in. The first week was used to show most of the men what a football was and to get a few fundamentals of the game. Four letter men were back—Captain Bruce, the fighting demon who always played a good game; Keffer, who never failed to open a hole in the opponent’s line; Price, who played a fine game last year as a flashy halfback; and Charlton, who played in hard luck all the 26 season, only getting a few chances to show his stuff”. These four men were all good veteran players but could not make a complete team. Where to find the rest? This was a hard question for the new coach, Ralph Christie, to answer. After several nights’ practice he began to look through his squad. He found two or three seniors showing up, three or four juniors, several sophomores, but where least help was expected he found what was later known as the four horsemen” or freshman back- field”. Almost all the men were new at football but they had the tiger spirit” and went to Wallowa to do their best. They did; but after a strong battle they came out 7 to 6 loser of the first game. Enterprise was the next to come and try their luck. The heavier and more ex- perienced team defeated La Grande 12 to 6 in a game that was hard fought from the beginning. To most teams, two defeats at the first of the season would have disillusioned them completely, but not the fighting tigers, who went forth to Baker and played their hardest game so far; however, they lost 35 to 6. The Pendleton team came over and found a much improved team. Again the tigers tasted defeat by the tune of 18 to 6, but they could feel victory just around the corner. 59 Milton-Freewater, last year champions of Eastern Oregon, took some tiger steak, but found it hard to get at a score of 32 to 6. Each game the furious tigers were gaining experience and playing a better game, so when Union came over for the last game they found a strong team which ran or slid over them for an 8 to 7 victory. The football season ended very successfully for the school and team. The losses brought out the real pluck of the student body which was shown by their hearty sup- port. The team did what most teams could not have done. They fought harder after ever)' loss and gained more every time until they won the last game. The school is proud of our hard fighting, scratching, clawing, tiger team. You bet!

However, after sizing up the few chances that La Grande seemed to have at the first of the season, we could hardly hope to even be in the running. Captain Stoddard was the only letterman back to take a place in the lineup. A few men were back that had done some playing for La Grande before: Braden, H. Wolfe, Wallsinger, Herr, Roe. With these men and the great number of new men that turned out, Coach Christie managed to pick out a squad that did credit to the La Grande High. The men, all inexperienced and new, showed marked improvement in every game. The team showed that they could play ball a great many times. They played fifteen pre-tournament games and won eight, which is a very good showing for a green team when playing veterans. The team, at times when it played real basketball, could play as well as any other team in Eastern Oregon. This is shown by the scores; we lost to the best by small margin and won by a great number of points. The strength of the team is proved by the fact that we defeated Baker, probably the strongest team in the district. In the pre-tournament games La Grande made three hundred and fifty-eight points to opponent’s two hundred and eighty-eight, a difference of seventy points, which is an excellent showing for an inexperienced team. In the tournament at Union, La Grande first lost to Baker and then to Union, the team seeming only to get its real stride a few times. The student body, however, showed real fight and supported them in every game of the season. 61 LETTERMEN Stoddard Wolfe, C. Braden Hibard Newlin, P. Roe Wolfe, H.

Following the recommendation of the National Amateur Athletic Federation for Girls, the inter-mural plan for competitive games is being given a trial and has met with the enthusiastic approval and support of the girls. In basketball each class is represented by an A and a B squad. The championship of the A tournament was won by the Senior class and the B tournament also by the Seniors. Points are awarded for reliability and sportsmanship as well as for winning and count toward the class point contest. Individual points are awarded for reliability, health, training and sportsmanship as well as for the length of time played. These count toward a letter. The letter women are: Bertha Bantz, Hazel Gragg, Pearl Murray, Ruth Durland, Phyllis Ansell, Doris Cade, Alvce Cook, Jane Stange and Mil- dred Stanley. An Athletic Committee appointed by the coach acts as a managing body to assist in coaching and in directing all events. The members of the Senior team and Athletic Committee read from left to right as follows: Ruth Durland, Class Coach; Marjorie Reynolds, Referee; Miss Johnson, School Coach; Irma Turner, Bertha Bantz, Alyce Cook, Martina Sams, Phyllis Ansell (Captain), Pearl Murray and Hazel Gragg. 63 Coach Christie With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.” Such is Coach Christie. It takes a lot to pick a team from stark beginners. It takes more than lots of men have and more than lots of players—but with great care and caution the coach was able to develop a team that was indeed a great credit to the school. He taught them the vast difference between right and wrong—that the game must be played with full exercise of every law of good sportsmanship. He taught them neutrality and yet infinite loyalty. With malice toward none” they fought and struggled and gained. With charity for all” they smiled in the face of defeat—con- gratulated the winning team and left the field royally yet ever faithful to the school. The same was true in victory—a word of encouragement to the losers. Thus we feel that we have had a very successful season in athletics. For with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right” the whole school has been fair and square in the fullest sense of the words. It is true we have lost the scores of many games but behind them there is something deeper. The boys have gained experience that will be invaluable in future years. And the school spirit has stood the real test. It is easy enough to cheer when victorious but if a school can register the same enthusiasm in defeat then they have, indeed, won the game. It is through our coach that we have learned and gained an immeasurable amount this year. We are proud of him. He is true and white—through and through. 64 Coach Johnson Those love her best who to themselves are true And what they dare dream of, dare to do. Coach Johnson has a very winning personality which has so endeared her to the hearts of the girls that it is going to be hard for the Seniors to depart. She has such confidence in all of us, that each of us is inspired to greater heights. Not only that, but being a good sport herself, how could those about her refrain from seeing things through her eyes? This year she inaugurated a new idea of talk days”. On these days the girls would all gather ’round her, and she would, in her charming and unassuming way, build up the characters of all of us. In athletics there could be no better coach. With her untiring courage and en- thusiasm she has been the ideal of the girls. To each separate activity she has taken a personal interest which has instilled so many of us to do just a little bit better”. So, to Miss Johnson, who is always ready to listen and console us in our own petty griefs, we would offer this page in appreciation for all that she has done for us. —Bertha Bantz. 65 Track The track season for 1927 was very successful. We won all of our track meets, having an unusually strong team composed of veteran track men. This includes our winning of the Eastern Oregon track meet, which La Grande High School has lost once in nine years. We sent a small track team to the state track meet at Corvallis on May 14. Smutz broke a state record in the state meet in the 440 dash. The only other record smashed was by Mose Lyman, who broke the county record in the pole vault at the county seat. Our track schedule for 1928 is as follows: April 14, April 2 1. April 28 May 5 May 12 Dual County Meet here. Union and Wallowa counties. Dual meet here. Pendleton. Triangular meet at Baker. Union, La Grande, Baker. Eastern Oregon Track Meet at Union. State Track Meet at Corvallis. As the Mimir goes to press before the track season is under way there is nothing definite about the chances of the Eastern Oregon champions of the past four years. The prospects are, however, fairly bright. There are six lettermen back to do their stuff for L. H. S. Keffer, weight and hundred yard dash; Charlton, weights and javelin; Price, low hurdles and javelin; Anson, mile and half mile; Stoddard, pole vault; H. Wolfe, high jump and pole vault; Sayre, mile and half. These men as mainstays and with such new material as C. Wolfe, Faus, Roe, De- long, and the great number yet to be heard from, La Grande should see a successful if not a championship season. 66 Humor Calendar JANUARY Jan. i. Sunday.

All fairy stories should begin with once upon a time, so: Once upon a time, there was a boy going to school at La Grande High School. Quite a fine chap he was indeed, this winsome William Thomas Bruce, but he had one fault—he would not shave. This, however, was outweighed by his other qual- ities. He was president of this and that, and leader of something else, and withal not conceited; rather, let us say, just elated, and being such a fine fellow, he usually got what he wanted, which was pretty often. Only one thing did he miss—he couldn’t fall in love. But he played football, and being pretty good, the girls usually fell, and so he had not a bad time, taking out all the lovely ladies of La Grande (and Baker). But that isn’t all our heroes, for in this school was another handsome, happy, healthy lad. Accent the handsome, please, because young Robert Edward was certainly an Appollo. However, his last name being Buchanan, and Scotch, he went out rather sparingly, although we won’t say he didn’t fall in love. Oh, many were the hearts pining for him! And, children, he played football, too: So, a week before the big game, we have the heart rendering picture of two fighting seniors, vainly looking for the big thrill, when SHE came to school. Being from out of town, and withal fickle, so it seems, her name doesn’t matter. Suffice to say, she seemed a very vision of radiant grace as she approached our two heroes, and in a voice that resembled nothing more than a tinkle of far-off bells inquired the way to the principal. In a daze the two pointeh, and as she, with a silvery thank you” entered the office, they turned with one ac- cord and solemnly shook hands. B-b-boy, isn’t she s-sssweet?’ quoth Tom. And how!” said Ed. A week passes, during which the villains still pursue the fair damsel, and on the day of the big game they go into the battle, each with a pledge from the fair one to work wonders for her, and each, in his mind, thinking contemptuously of the other as a has-been. So they performed deeds of valour that day, and as the sinking sun tinted the western sky the populace tore up the goal-posts, and with mighty shouts of Bruce,” Buchanan,” reaching to the sky, bore them, stained with battle, from the field. Later, dressed, and once more whole, they so- journed to the rendezvous to hear from the lips of their goddess with whom she would attend the dance that evening. Peering into the darkness of the high-school steps, they shouted, Oh, Mary, have you decided?” Yes,” came the answer, and the girl of their dreams, their idol, that vision of loveliness de- scended toward them through the gloom—on the arm of Lawrence, the lowly yell-leader. Finis Robert Guild. 73 THE LEXICOGRAPHERS HIGH CHAIR To decide questions concerning the correct use of words for this column the Burke and Litton New Slanquish Delictionar has Been consulted. SACAJAWEA—According to the above author- itive, Sacajawea is pronounced syllabic by syllable as follows: Sac-Sack, and the rest—oh let’s see— the rest, just imagine that the sack is full of eggs and pronounce it like the noise that would result if you dropped it. You will get it all right! L. H. S.—The letters L. H. S. that you see so much and hear so much about around this high school indicates the three subjects you should avoid if you never wish to fail, to-wit: Latin, History and Spanish. Simple, isn’t it? BIG SISTER—A great deal of misinformation ex- ists concerning the meaning of this phrase Big Sister,” however, a Big Sister really is an upper class girl at La Grande High School existing for the purpose of advising beginning Freshmen about the following matter: 1. To direct them to as many wrong rooms as possible in order to get them acquainted with the building. 2. To train them in the latest methods of roll- ing hose. 3. To select the proper drug store complexion for them. 4. Give lessons in the proper use of the lipstick. 5. To tell them the most approved of and suc- cessful methods of getting by without studying. PEP—Popular breakfast food eaten by Lawrence Bay. YE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF YE GRAND OLD HIGH SCHOOL I. 1 hou shalt keep the straight and narrow path. Lean not on the radiators in the halls. II. Thou shalt study hard. Yea, verily, far into the night. III. Thou shalt not have any unexcused absences, for it taketh 5% from thy grade. IV. Thou shalt not put paper in the desks. Yea, it is the law. V. Thou shalt not stay out late on school nights.” What doth it pay not to study in the evenings and yet go to school? VI. Thou shalt not chew gum. The noise doth dis- tract the pupils about you from their work. VII. Thou shalt not skip classes. Doth thou wisheth to bring about thy downfall?” VIII. Thou shalt not converse in the halls, for thou must not have any unfinished business. IX. Thou shalt obey the principal and faculty for, verily, they are thine instructors and have greater knowledge than thyself. X. I wenty days before the end of each semester thou shalt study diligently that thou mayest be worthy to meet thy final judgment. SENIOR ALPHABET A is for Alycc, so lanky and tall. B is for Bertha, who makes us all squall. C is for Claude, a real Romeo. I) is for Doris, in the office you know. E is for Edward, and he’s some sheik. F is for Frances, so silent and meek. G is for George, a man bold and bad. H is for Harold, who makes girls feel sad. 1 is for Irma, who lives in room ten. J is for Joe, who’s here now and then. K is for Kenneth, we must make it rhyme. L is for Lcnore, who’s so slow all the time. M is for Mary, who lives on a farm. N is for Norwood, who does no one harm. O is for Olson, whose first name is Tillie. P is for Pearl, who’s often so silly. Q is for Quiz, the teachers all know. R is for Ruth, who has a nice beau. S is for Shoemaker, with Vernal before. T is for Tom, who will flunk no more. (?)

Some young La Grande High genius, whose name we are not allowed to make public, has invented an in- visible periscope by which we can copy a neighbor’s test paper without being detected by the teacher. Comments are many and varied concerning this in- vention. Clark says: I’ll buy the first model out. Ah! You’re wrong! Not for my own use. Of course not! Why should a hairy man like I resort to such a stupid device. I mean to rent it out for enough money to keep me supplied with chewing gum. When you have to throw a dozen wads in the basket per day, one has no money left for any- thing else. A conversation between Paul and Vincent con- cerning the device was overheard: Paul: Say, isn’t that great!” Vincent: You bet, now we can always get the same grades on our papers!” Vivian docs not approve of the invention, she is peeved about it and was heard to remark: Oh! I don’t sec why the slow poke had to wait so long about inventing it. I won’t be in school next year, so can’t use it. Really, I think it a terrible invention. It will teach all the students bad habits.” Wanted to Borrow: Cosmetics—Latest hues and shades preferred.—Maxine McNeil. Wanted: Work in hayfield to help keep my school girl complexion.—Marjorie Reynolds. For Sale or Trade: An unruly brunette. Any terms considered.—Bill Bcickel. Free: Dell Burke will give chewing gum away free of charge to the usual girls in Room 3. After school it will be sent collect to your summer homes. Miss Pcard: William, why do we call the Eng- lish language the mother tongue?” William P.: Because father never gets a chance to use it.” 74 A SUGGESTION When the assembly bell is ringing and the mad stampede is on. When Mr. Towlcr makes an announcement or Tom sings us a song, When the girls sit there and gossip an’ the boys sit there and grin, When Lawrence says We’ll have some yells and then we’ll sing a hymn.’’ And when the pep assembly is over and the halls are filled once more, When there isn’t such a rush as there was a while before; The teachers aren’t so dangerous as some folks seem to think, Though some will make you grieve, and others make you shrink. I don’t believe they’re cannibals for I’ve missed no one yet. But when Miss Lee gets angry I watch my step— you bet!! STOCK MARKET REPORT AT L. H. S. Hi Lo Close L. H. S.

THINK OF THE OUTCOME: Herman Mires’ hair, Ed Buchanan’s eyes, Gean’s wit, Ben’s teeth, Vernal’s brilliance, Claude’s heighth, Tom’s weight and Wilford’s athletic abil- ity; this personage has been made up to keep all the girls’ hearts aflutter and to delight and please the teachers. Wouldn’t you like to meet him? ♦ THE PSALM OF THE CLASS OF 19 8 Mr. Towler is my principal, I shall not want. He maketh me stay in the sixth period, And he teachcth me the rules of the school. He leadeth me into the office, I shall not fear; for he is with me. The book is in my pants, it comforteth me, In the presence of the faculty. He annointeth my pen with ink, It spilleth and runneth over. Surely, Mr. Towler won’t follow me All the rest of the days of my life, If he does, I shall dwell in L. H. S. forever. THE VILLIAN! His cruel eyes shone as he crept stealthily down the walk! Today he craved revenge! He was hungry for blood—his nimble mind worked quickly. Now was the time for his action! It was dusk—a cold dreary dusk—that settled on the heart of the wanderer and froze the bit of kindness that might have entered his heart. He moved with purpose now. SHE would be at home at this hour prob- ably taking a nap. Foiled and stopped at every turn, at last his chance had come! No one could stop him now. There was her house and no one was around. He crept up stealthily, now he was at the door, and in another moment he had slipped in. Just as he had hoped, no one was there! He moved noiselessly down the wide, carpeted hall to the room where he was sure she would be. Ah, there she was—so tiny, so frail looking, and so beautiful. Not a flicker of pity stirred his cruel heart; he was a brute—an animal. Stealthily he drew nearer and nearer until with a bound, he was upon her. A frightened, brid-like chirp broke from her as she gazed at him with pitiful pleading in her eyes. He felt the warm blood from her poor, young heart and in another moment she breathed her last. Ah, the cat had caught the little canary! Wilford Stoddard, a very noted scientist and explorer recently took a trip to Europe, and upon seeing Mt. Vesuvius in eruption, exclaimed: Say, isn’t that just like heck?” A pert young French girl, upon hearing him, said: My goodness, zese Americans, where have zey not been?” Jane (Reciting in Spanish Class): Well, Miss Baumman, isn’t ’hago’ right?” Miss Baumman: No, Jane, what made you think so?” Jane: Well, Maurice said it was, so I thought it must be.” 75 The Low-Down NAME OTHERWISE NOTED FOR SPENDS TIME AMBITION (lean Anderson .........Brick ....

Sweethearts of All the Guys 77 Class Prophesy In reading the La Grande Times, the editor, Lenore Ely, is kind enough to send me once a year, I am pleased to find that they have pulbished a complete list of the class of 28” and their progress in life since we graduated six years ago. The easiest ones to locate must have been in La Grande for I find they are given first. Dr. Shoemaker is a famous surgeon, employing Phyllis Gordon and Irma Watkins as his nurses, while his wife, formerly Vivian Hanson, is prominent in society. Richard Geist has taken our principal’s place and under his supervision are Helena Moore, teach- ing Home Economics; Pearl Murray, Physical Education teacher; and William Bork, head coach. That’s quite a number to come back to the old school. Durwood Litton is managing a men s clothier, and Edwin Rogers one of the numerous Skaggs’ stores. Oh! Yes, there is Ben Oesterling, a dentist; I thought that’s what he’d be; you know he married Dorothy Brownton. Then Martina Sams has a beauty parlor. I wonder if she still has that beautiful diamond. I m surely glad to hear about Bertha Bantz. She has just finished a tour of Europe and is expected to announce her engagement to Claude Anson, a well known bridge designer. Phyllis Barnes won the secretarial position offered by the Federal Reserve Bank and leaves for France immediately. Good luck, Phyl! Wonder where Doris is—Oh! here it tells about her; she is a missionary to China. Well, Well, Kenneth Owen has just announced that he will leave for China in a few days—we all know what that means. Herman Mires just left on his monthly trip to Europe by plane; he’s a second Lindy. Hurrah for you. Red! Virginia Roehm has opened her Shoppe in Paris where she designs very clever clothes. She’s designing the trousseau for Constance Ray’s wedding. Who’s the lucky man? Why, hadn’t you heard? Harold Herr, the oil king. Edwin Jack is to perform the ceremony. Alyce Cook is still climbing mountains in Asia—some day she will set a record. Speaking of a record reminds me—Isabelle Symon’s Jazz Orchestra is recording Victor Records. Also Margaret Danks just set a new record on the typewriter, writing two hundred words a minute. I notice by this paper that Ida Neiderer, Anita Erickson and Lueen Oliver are mar- ried, but it doesn’t say who their husbands are. Ruth Ross was already married and still happy. Remember Roy Kumasawa? He’s a very brilliant lawyer, won the case for the governor of Oregon—Stewart Pennington against Catherine Humphreys, Mayor of Portland, last month. Is it true that Inez Hughes married a French count? Wilford Stoddard and his wife are touring the U. S. in their private car, since it is necessary for him to make a complete inspection of the railroads, as he is president. Who did he marry? Phyllis Ansell, of course. So Iola Robertson has finished her book, Ladies Prefer Brunettes”. Hope she wins recognition. Also Catherine Buckley has written a new edition for the teaching of Sociology. We have two authoresses in the old class. Edwardine and Sylvia Malone are in Ziegfield’s Follies. Wonder if they can tell one from the other. Our good old Tommy Bruce has certainly won fame with his voice; he’s singing in Metropolitan Opera now. I hear Loris Ledbetter is opening a theater in Los Angeles the 15 th of the month and a picture featuring Ed Buchanan is to be her first big attraction. Ed has a won- derful home in Hollywood and is very happy with his wife—you know who he married. Ruth Irwin and Bethel Trill arc teaching vocal at Vassar. 78 Thelma Bray and her sister Helen are both happily married and living in India. Imagine, Vivian Lark is a famous crystal gazer. I thought she planned to be a teacher. You say Amy Brown married Paul—didn’t you know that? They’re enjoying the peace and quiet of a happy home, it says. Dick Hibberd has a wonderful position coaching basketball at Stanford. Chalmers Wolfe is with him coaching track. Isn’t it queer how many athletes turn out to be coaches? Did you read about the wife of Thomas Wallsinger, the steel magnate, fainting again while shopping? Who was—O! I remember, Wilma Schroeder. Say, I saw Olive Bradshaw the other day. Her husband was a Marine before they were married, wasn’t he? Her sister Mildred is managing a tea room with Gloria McCullough as her partner. Hazel Gragg is the head nurse at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. Frances Smith is the principal at one of the schools there. Remember Bill Perry? He is one of the world’s best engineers—so the paper says —he was quite a cartoonist in school but I’m glad to hear he really did take up Electrical Engineering. Irene Spencer is still at college working for a degree of H. H. (Home Hunter). Where are Evelyn Auseon and Winifred Eveson? They’re managing an orange grove in California. Esther Brown is still looking for a millionaire so that she can continue the tour she started around the world. Here’s Norwood Hale; they say he’s a second Ichabod Crane. Juanita Spencer is Secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Old Maids, and they say she has just received a liberal check from Eva Seeger, Ambassador to Bohemia. Well, well, so Gean Anderson has just finished the lengthy course required to be an Osteopath and has started to practice. Wonder if he is still as witty as ever. Lillie Downing is the understudy for the famous opera singer, Tillie Olson. Howard Carpenter is also in that company. I can’t find Velma Kennedy. O! here she is—she married a minister and they are living in Alaska. Margaret Johnson is up there somewhere, too, but it doesn’t say what she’s doing. The Sayres—what happened to them? Ethel is a missionary to Russia and Joe is an auto salesman in Seattle. Lola Banton and May Clay are in New York teaching in a kindergarten; they say they are very good teachers. Lucile Moreland is in Chicago, a juvenile judge, and Gene Boswell is a lawyer in St. Louis. You knew that George Harnden and Dell Burke are partners in a large farm in Southern California, didn’t you? William Miller is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, so they say, and Melvin Carbine is a Wall Street broker in New York. We have some real business men in the old class. Ida Neuchirchner is running the dietitian kitchen at Hot Lake. Irma Turner is there, too, entertaining the patients with her dancing, while her husband, Donald Metcalf, is the superintendent. Mary Wright bought the La Grande Hotel a year ago. I hope she is making a success with it. Bernice Swinehart married Harold Mohr and they are managing an ostrich farm in California, near Pasadena. That’s the end of it, I guess. No? What is it? You say that Marjorie Reynolds is quoted as being contented and happy. Well, that’s true. —Marjorie Reynolds, ’28. —Robert Guild, ’29. —Donald Metcalf, 28. 79 Clearance Sale AVOID RUSH COME EARLY We, the Class of 28”, have found that we have a number of articles that we wish brought to notice in sale, as they cannot be used in life after we leave L.
