' THE EDGE OF THE WOODS A Sketch in Pen and Ink by Fred Vinson i 0 hs mrulniem COMMENCEMENT 1918 A Journey Into the Future A TRAVEL IN MY EASY CHAIR And I looked into the future, I. I HAVE TO GO HE other day, as I was passing the Professofs house, I was hailed with a shout, and looking around, saw the Professor himself, garbed in a pair of faded blue overalls, a rough shirt, open at the neck, and no hat at all, with a spade and hoe over one shoulder, come striding toward me. Well, Peter, he said to me in his clear, good-natured voice ias he put down his spade and hoe. I guess you take me for a farmer, don't you? 'You didn't know I was raised on the farm. ' I like the Professor. I have not .known him for more than six months, -but we are already fast friends, and the more I know of him the more I admire him for his sincerity in every- thing he does, for his higness and un- selfishness, but most of all, for his patriotism. He has a boy in France. He has two boys at the training camp and another not yet old enough to go. Their mother has the same unselfish- ness and patriotism that I like him for. I like them all. As we were talking, the Professor rested one hand on the low picket fence, and held the other out in the direction of the lawn. l'm going to spade up the grass and plant beans, he said. He talked for some time about his far as human eye could see -Tennyson. plans for his garden. He talked with the genuine enthusiasm of one who loved the work. Gradually, however, the conversation shifted to other sul:- jects, for the Professor is a philoso- pher, and his mind cannot run in a narrow little channel. Peter, he said, laying his hand on my shoulder in a friendly manner characteristic of him, you will be thru school in june. What do you intend to make of yourself? What are you planning to do in the fu- ture? Well, in a way, I know, l said slowly. I haven't spoken to any- one about it, because I haven't very clearly planned it out. l'm not going to ask you what it is, the Professor said. He looked up toward the sun. It's getting a little warm in the sun, now, he said, Iet's get into the shade. He drew me into the shade of the house and we sat down on the porch. Have you ever lived on a farm? he asked me. For a short time, I answer. I like the country. I lived for a whole summer out on a farm, during har. vesting time. We harvested every- thing from cherries to apples. I was raised on a farm, he said, hut I did not like it then. He gazed ahsently at the ground, totally lost in Pareu THE. LINCOLNIAN June his memories. Did you like the country? he asked at last. l never enjoyed myself more. l think l like the cherries best, l re- plied, with a grin at the remember- ing of it. He told me the whole story of his life, from the time he left the coun- try until he went back again with his family twenty years later. l'm going back again, Peter, he said. l don't know why l came to the city this last time. l thot it was to give my boys a better education. Maybe it was. l've found out myself what the city means. l've found out what a man wants. lt isn't money that l want, Peter. No man really wants money. lt isn't power or influence. lt isn't promin- ence, or success, or a career. lt isn't the diversions and amusements of the city. lt isn't anything you think it is, that a man really wants. The real thing is contentment. Some can find it in the city, maybe. Mine is in the country. A The Professor impressed me more than l can say. You have started me thinking, l told him as l was leaving. ln a short time l am going to start on a journey into the fu- ture. ' You have already started, my boy, the Professor said. You started on that journey about eighteen years ago. He picked up his spade, and l turned away. Well, good luokl he called after me. As l walked on l mused over his words. He was not a preacher, but a teacher. ' He had told a simple, sin- cere story, and the sermon was left unsaid. 'l resolved to think it out, and make my decision before l started on my journey into the future. ll. I LOOK BEHIND Y path led thru a park where spring had left green lawns, the blossoming dogwood and maples, the sweet, heavy fragrance of purple lilacs, and the bright beds of scarlet tulips. The air was warm yet from the dying sunlight, and perfumed with the odor of many blossoms. l sat down on one of the benches, with my face toward the west, and watched the sun sink slowly behind a bank of clouds, the sky Hush yellow, and then pink, and finally lavender. After a while one clear star came out, large, and silvery, and bright. As l sat there l thot back over the years l could remember. Some things which happened when l was not yet four, l still recalled. It is wonderful how the memory of happy events stays long after the first pleasure is gone. l remembered a little boy in knee trousers lingering with his comrade on their way to school. ln after years he could not tell much of his first day, for it was not much of an event to him. His first fight he will never forget. What a battle it wasl How disgracefully the boy was pounded: how his eyes were blackened: how his head achedl The iight was un- even, for there were three aggressors ,and tho they were smaller, the boy was no match for them. l-le liked to think, too, in after years, that he would otherwise have been the victor rather than the vanquished. Long afterward the boy remem- bered that comrade, who had been his first friend, and who had backed him in the fight, and held his coat and walked home with him after the affair was over. A few years later the boy entered a new period of his life. His attitude toward everything was changed. He Jvne THE LINCOLNIAN P12015 religiously hated any sort of program, or recitation of poems, or singing. To stand before a roomful of parents, or even pupils from another class, was to be abhorred worse than a whip- ping. lt was a feeling which the boy never got over until he was in his second year in high school. ' And about the same time the boy had his first experience with the op- posite sex. Up to this time, the fem- inine part of the world, with the ex- ception of mothers and sisters and other women relatives, had been strict- ly avoided. Now the boy began to notice that girls were rather pretty- some of them-and were rather afraid to do what boys did, and all but one or two were dreadful tell-tales. Girls liked pretty dresses which were fluffy and light, and which you could not sit down in on the grass for fear of green stains. They were awfully silly about clothes! The boy noticed that girls liked flowers, and boys were sup- posed to bring bouquets to the teach- er, but before you got to the teacher you would have to pass by a certain young lady, and you desired her favor above all others, and she would re- mark that she just loved flowers and your masculine heart would melt, as you had previously decided it should, and the flowers would reach the right party. These days of boyhood had been happy ones, and the boy remembered them long afterward with almost re- gret. The contrivances he had, boy- like, built: the sports the boys had had: the tramps they used to go on: the swimming and fishing and scout- ingg he would never take so much pleasure in again. His days as a small boy had passed. And not so very many months came and passed before the grammar school was' finished and the high school reached. Old associations were bro- ken. Companions of boyhood separ- ated. New relationships would be formed, The boy did not forget the last week of his grammar school with its feeling of anticipation: Nor was the party on the last night forgotten. He had not realized then that that night was the last of a period in his life: that on the morrow he should begin a new journey: that there were decisions to be made before he started out into the future. His first day in high school had been a memorable one. The boy had made a decision, and started on the road to Somewhere rather than the road to Anywhere. There had been many good times in the former years the boy spent in high school. Friendships had been formed which were never to be broken. Happy days came which were to be unforgettable. There were feelings, sensations, thots, so far from the physical sensations, but in later years so much more real, that should always live as pleasant memories. AND as l sat on the bench, in the park, as the evening was settling down, l wondered if there would ever come such happy days again as those l was just laying aside. l wondered, too, if l had much to regret in the years l had spent in school. ' l had learned no trade. Other students had taken commercial courses and secured positions at once. Some had taken work in the manual train- ing line, and were already partly trained for good jobs. But l was among those who had taken the studies they did because they liked them, and because they thot those studies wouldmake them better think- ers and citizens. l had studied the academic subjects, the sciences, ma- thematics, the literature, history and language. l had secured a foundation for a general education, and had dis- P18216 THE LINCOLNIAN June covered' what I liked best. What I considered more important, I had formed a desire to learn more. I wondered what hand had guided me in choosing my course. Up to my Junior year I had not done any great amount of reasoning. l had taken the subjects I did mainly be- cause they were in my course. I could not now say why I chose that particular course. When I started for home darkness had settled, and the new moon risen. lt was an ideal night for a walk alone. Ill. I MAKE SOME DECISIONS N the next few days after my talk with the Professor, I kept think- ing along the same lines, and I repeated over and over some of the things he had said. I formed certain opinions which I suppose I have pos- sessed a long time, yet have never ex- pressed. The boy that I used to be had in his early years formed many ambi- tions. There are times when some thot of the future makes even the small boy form desires for the future. But as long as a man has hope, he is building futures.'As he gains in years he discards one ambition or hope for another: and when he has reached that stage where he no longer con- tinues to form new ideals and hopes, and has ceased to dream of the future here, but clings to one conception-of another life--he is truly old. Life would be worthless if we were able to see into the vastness of the future. All our expectations, hopes, dreams, would be swept aw-ay in abso- lute knowledge. I like to imagine a future, for the anticipation is as val- uable as the realization. Ideals would cease with the doubt as to what the future holds, for they would be use- less in a life previously planned out. Working would go unrewurded. Our futures would not be our own, but in the hands of fate. There was a time when the boy said, , I will be rich. But before he was rich he wondered if, after all, it paid to be rich. He tried to think of some lasting pleasure he had purchased with money, but he could not remember one. I'Ie remembered many tasks he had done in order to get the money for some desired ob- ject, but the joy of anticipation and the work it took were far more last- ing than the object itself. And he decided that money was valuable only because of the labor which had earned it. He did not care to spend a lifetime working for money. Once he had said-this boy that I used to be- l am going to be President, and at other times, I am going to be famous. But when he was older he remembered how in high school he had reached some positions in the school life which bore the relation to the school that being an executive bore to the larger world. And the prominence which attended them had been only worldly feelings with the novelty, and the fame took the form of humdrum of small value, for it left the owner poorer than before. that wore off labor. It was No, the boy did not want these things, he decided. Worldly successes, at times so glittering, faded into un- reality in the weary hours of realiza- tion. When the body was weary from work, only the mental contentment of the spirit could bring a feeling of comfort. Q I DO not want to be President. I I would rather be rather ordinary than famous, or rich in material be- longings. Even ordinary people may possess a wealth of the things really worth while. - l have not tried to get an educa- tion to make money. I feel that if I June THE LINCOLNIAN P53917 have any talent, and most people have some, I could not develop it, as a farmer raises his pigs, and sell it for money. I have lately come to look upon ambition as the ancient Romans did. To be ambitious is to have desire for power or wealth or fame. It is to want to be something, or to have something which gives one power over other people. It was the thwart- ing of an ambition when Caesar was murdered, when Napoleon was ex- iled, and it will be the defeat of the kaiser's ambition when this war is done. When men grow ambitious, there comes the lust for power over other men, the struggle for suprema- cy, strife, and finally, temporary vic- tory for one. There is enough in the world, I think, for every one to have plenty of the necessities, and the immaterial riches of the mind and spirit are limitless. The problem whose solu- tion is most important is that of dis- tributing the necessities so that every one has plentyg and this the future shall, at least in part, solve. The day when men believed the Prussian doc- trine that life is a struggle for ex- istence in which only the fittest in material and physical senses can sur- vive, is past. The new faith in the Brotherhood of Man is coming with the future. A new meaning of democracy is coming. Men who once believed that the might of the majority made right, will change their beliefs to a broader democratic spirit which shall recog- nize, the rights of every individual, and which shall give every man a ,voice in the decision of political and economic questions. Majority rule .willwpass a-awayfand in its place 'will come the rule by all. 4 Many changes are coming in the future. More important even than the political changes will be the gradual solution of economic troubles, and the improvement of the welfare' of society. I have been looking somewhat into the future, for I am soon to go. The future holds a charm for every one, and I have been yielding to it. It is the charm of the unknown. IV. ,I AM OFF OMMENCEMENT is over, and I have launched out into the fu- ture. As I sat on the platform during the exercises, I was musing on the futures of my classmates around me. lc was the last time the students of my class would all be gathered together. Some l should never see again. More I would meet occasionally. Some I would associate with as I had in the past four years. Perhaps, I thot as I sat there, the boy in the seat ahead of me will some day be a white-haired old man, mellowed with the philosophy and knowledge of the sweetness of living, which comes with years. He might become a minister to a congregation of the Brotherhood of Man. Per- haps the girl who sits not far from him in the same row will be a sweet old lady, his wife and helper. I won- der if their youthful comradeship will last thru the years! I believe the best thing I got out of my high-school course is friend- ship. Friends are the best posses- sions, and I have found many at high school. There is the Professor, whom I met only six months ago, but whom I should never have known had I not come to high school. Hs has been a teacher to me, and a friend. He has helped me, and shown me the best ideals. -There is the English Teacher, a delightful, philosophic man who lives in that charmed land called Content- ment-a man without ambition to be, Y L P11013 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tun' but happy in the knowledge that to do'is better. He is a man that has traveled into the future. and he is far ahead of most. I cannot forget the time l knocked at his door and was invited in with all neighborli- ness, nor of the picture of content- ment l saw, with the English Teacher leaning against the mantel, his wife sitting in her rocker before the fire, with her sewing in her lap, and their little girl playing with her doll on the rug. There was the true American home as it shall be in the future. when the Brotherhood of Man is su- preme. There are the two boys, who have become my closest comrades since l entered high school, but whom l had never known before. Our meeting in high school brot each of us fuller enjoyment of the school life because of a friendship existing. There is a certain little girl on the platform. If high schood had brot me nothing but her friendship, that was enough to pay me for the full four years. Friends are the most prized pos- sessions, and-l believe l have gained more in high school because of the friendships l have formed, than the man, richest in money, has accumu- lated in a lifetime. Thru high school, too, I became better acquainted with my other friends, the books. During the four years spent here, l learned to discard the cheap and worthless, and to know the best in literature. Good books are among the most constant of friends. SO li go out into the future. All l take with me is the knowledge of these good friends, and the good books which cheer me and help me when my personal friends are far away. l take, too, my thotx and the memories' of four years well spent. 'MAYBE at the end of my journey. when l have ceased to wander, il will be contented to own a little farm in a neighborhood which is not trying to grow up into a metropolis. l would not want my mansion to be more than a cottage, with a few vines over the porch, and some old-fash- ioned roses and forget-me-nots. l think it would be delightful to have two big cherry trees in front, with massive limbs able to hold a half- dozen boys. lnside the cottage, l would have a large living-room, with a good-sized fireplace at one side, a hearth in- tended for something more than deco- ration, and a group of windows op- posite. ln front of the fireplace must be an armchair, upholstered with comfort. Over the mantel must be a shelf of really good books, of the kind which delight one more with each reading, but not one among them which has not won a place for itself on my shelf. I think l would choose a few of Poe's tales, certainly Tom Sawyer, and a few other vol- umes of Mark Twain: The Count of Monte Cristo, Tale of Two Cities, poems by Riley, and Burns, and Shel- ley: Vanity Fair, A Christmas Carol, and collections of essays by Holmes and Emerson. Above all. l would not forget David Grayson's books. To fit into 'the picture, and keep discord and 'chaos out, there must be that most important of all people, the Cook. 'She must be able to make pies, and see to it that l don't leave my collars on every chair in the house, or put my feet on the table: bring me back to earth when l get philosophic or poetic, and in other ways manage me properly. l believe that then l would be con- tentg in my independence more pow- erful than any king, my own boss- except for my Commander, the in- dispensable Cook! gfpru ' - i f QC. f wi? f i 4 , mi 1 mi ig 'M , ,, -ff.-1'-222' L.,-X ' 3 fi We 'WH Wwe m1gMWg i i 1 Ziwiqiwrli n ii fn in f , i n n nm iffi iwf wi i ll if i 'k iw i my Q ' f1 If 5 if i n ii7 i1'fM i': f'i'iiQl- iff 'WM i if -Q'Q 1 Drawn by Gladys Anse .

The N orth Calls OR twenty-four hours the blizzard raged, piling the snow so high that it' covered the two small windows, and cast a duskiness over the cabin. MacFarlane and his part- ner, Peterson, sat in silence before the fire on the crude hearth, and smoked. l reckon this about finishes our work for this year, Mac, said Peter- son, questioning his partner rather than stating a fact. Well, l'm glad in a way. Next summer we'll have in some modern machinery, and we won't have to stoop over the pans or the cradle, and we won't have to quit so early in the fall, MacFarlane answered thotfully. Both lapsed into silence. MacFar- lane thot of his many years in the North Country and he wondered how much longer he would stay. He had gone into the Klondike region when men said it was foolhardy to go be- yond the less rich Yukon. He had come with the first rush of miners from the States. He was in Dawson in the winter of '97-'98, when that town was full of prospectors there to spend their summer piles or try their luck at the roulette wheel and the card tables. Some were jubilant over a rich summer, and the less lucky were downhearted. MacFarlane was in the main saloon one night in the midst of a crowd of ignorant, un- fortunate prospectors whose motto and god was gold, when he met Pe- terson. There had been a fight- and both of the men had helped to end it. Both Mark Peterson and Robert MacFarlane had prospected alone in the vicinity of Dawson. They dis- cussed the chances of a paystreak in the country northeast of Dawson, and later did stake a claim which was worth mining on a larger scale. With the aid of a San Francisco man they were able to man, Maxwell, atrle with the lowing spring, bring it, and a get machinery. This was to start from Se- machinery in the fol- and later they would shipment of lumber for building sluices, up the Yukon on dog-drawn sledges. AFTER a long period, Peterson broke the silence: What do you think that Frisco guy is financing this thing for when he knows we have to buck agin that New York company? Does he know they staked claims next to us? asked MacFarlane. Sure. Didn't he ask as to which had the best claim, and if it would pay him to stake with us when l got him in down in the States last year? Peterson answered quickly. Well, l couldn't say what his mo- tive is, but maybe he sees more in the diggin's than we do. That may be, too, began Peter- son. l only hope that they'll be ready to come up the Yukon as soon as she breaks. We don't want to lose any time at all. The Amalga- mated outfit will have us backed off the Klondike if we don't beat them up with the machinery: but I hope we beat them, and if we don't, it'll be Maxwell's fault. He don't know much about mining, of course. By all the hemlocks in Alaska! l wish we had that lumber and the screens up here, and we could begin makin' the sluice troughs and set in the screens, and it would be a big start on the Amalgamated outfit. We could get our crew picked before they got up here, and they'd find hands 153923 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tun' scarce. Peterson knew quite a lit- tle about the world outside of Alaska, and he feared that the Amalgamated interests would swallow up their own claim. He was none too sure of Mr. Maxwell. We'll hope for the best, Mark: but we can't do a thing until the winter's over. He pointed to the snow-covered windows. We might go to Dawson and get a crew hireri to help us up the Yukon. l hope Maxwell gets into Bering sea before the break comes. l'd feel a little better, wouldn't you, Mark? l told him to start as early as he could possibly could from Seattle, and he said he'd look to a good start and keep a lookout for other machinery -coming that way also, said Peter- son. lf we get the works before they do, MacFarlane said, we'll be in a position to hire labor, and as Nthere's bound to be a shortage of hands, the Amalgamated outfit will be left in the lurch. But they've got more money than we have, and they might be able to pay better wages than we will, and we might lose all our men. We have to start early and get a bunch we can rely on. We might send Maxwell word to bring a bunch from the States when he comes up in the spring, Peterson suggested. That wouldn't do, MacFarlane returned. They would all be green: they might cut their contracts and go over to the Amalgamated. Green men are worse than a short crew. The two men fell silent for some time, each thinking. MacFarlane gazed into the fire: his pipe went out un- noticed. Finally he said, more to himself than to his partner: l don't like this fighting with the Amalga- mated outfit. lt would be better to sell out if we can get a fair price. l'd like to go back to the States: even now, at the first touch of win- ter, l've got shudders running down my back. l've got a hunch that if l stay up here much longer I'll lose all l've got. Peterson did not share this feeling. l'll be switched, Mac, he said. lf l hadn't known you so long, l'd say you was a quitter, but 1 know you ain't. lt's the pan and cradle that's got you. lt's too hard on a man. l'd quit Alaska myself if l had to go thru what we have in the past summer again. But you'd better stick till we see the thing thru. MacFarlane did not answer, but kept on staring into the fire. What do you think, Mac? Pe- terson asked. Hadn't you better stick awhile? Yes, l'll stick-stick until we bring the Amalgamated outfit to the paystreak--l'm off for the States. can terms. But as soon as we hit Wouldn't mind seeing Minnesota myself, Peterson reflected. But we'll Fight if we have to, won't we, Mac? There was the ring of grim determination in his voice. MacFarlane relighted, and they both finished their pipes in silence: then rolled in their blankets for the night. WINTER .was drawing to a close when Peterson received a letter from Maxwell saying that he was in 'the straits waiting for the Yukon to start moving, as he worded it. Looks like he was with us strong, remarked MacFarlane. i He says, Peterson said, referring to the letter. that the Amalgamated Fishing 6: Mining Company's ship- ment of machinery was delayed thru the inability of the company to hll it, and that shipment will be retarded from twenty to thirty days. Well, we at least have beat them to the Yukon, and if she'd hurry and -Time THE LINCOLNIAN P08027 thaw. out we'd be in a position to do something, said MacFarlane, with a sigh of relief. We'll prepare the sledges and gather up every available dog in Dawson, and we'll get the machinery in if we have to take it in piece by piece, said Peterson. Both Peterson and MacFarlane were staying in Dawson now, and ready with a crew to transport the new equipment to the claim. When the Yukon opened up with a roar and a rush of water, MacFarlane, who had been watching for signs of the break, hunted out .Peterson and ex- claimed, She's opening! She's open- ing! Now for the trail. Three weeks later, MacFarlane and Peterson, with twelve men, twelve sledges and seventy-three dogs, left Dawson on their journey down the river to meet the ship. ln eight weeks the men were busy building new sluice-boxes, installing crushers and washers and other machinery. Word reached them that the steam- er with the cargo of machinery for the Amalgamated outfit had run aground near the mouth of the Yu- kon, and that some had been lost overboard when it had been shifted to barges. There had been a little trouble with the -crew on the MacFarlane and Pe- terson claim, for some of the officials of the Amalgamated had enticed a few of the laborers away with prom- ises of higher wages. Peterson, MacFarlane said one evening, we have to do something to stop the men from going over to the Amalgamated. Suppose we split a part of the profits among them? If the men think the claim is part theirs, they will stick with us and work harder. 1 Good idea, Mac, Peterson agreed. Maxwell was of the same opinion. The plan worked fine, and the help worked with increased vigor, and vowed they d stick with MacFarlane thru thick and thin. With the continued success of Mac- Farlane and Peterson, the men added dignity to their enterprise by incor- porating under the name of the Daw- son Mining ACompany. They were rivals worthy of the Amalgamated outht now, and the latter company recognized the power of the new com- pany by repeated offers to buy. But MacFarlane and his two partners re- fused. l guess we'll hold onto the works for a while, Mac told the Amalga- mated officials. Everything's work- ing out nicely, and our men are sat- isfied with the deal we're givin' 'em. SO the mining went on with cease- less rumbling, and the swish of the slag and water rushing over the sluice-boards and the gurgle of the water thru the screens went on night and day, never stopping a shift ex-T cept for the holidays. The three part- ners each supervised a shift, and for additional safety against treachery on the part of the Amalgamated Fishing 6: Mining Company, watchmen were kept guarding the works, while the men toiled ceaselessly on for the yellow metal which had become their god. Winter came, and with it the in- tense cold which froze the water in the sluice-troughs and prevented the screening and washing of the slag, but still the men worked on, piling up the slag in a high pile surrounded by a fence of barbed wire. The Amal- gamated Fishing 6: Mining Company had not yet received their machinery, and there was no their claim. To all appearances, the Amalgamated outfit existed. But in the middle of the winter, development on might have not P12228 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tulle when all the crew except Maxwell and two of the men had gone to Dawson, Mr. Wingarten, head of the Amalgamated Company, came with four other officials to the claim. Max- well calculated that there would be action. Then the two, Maxwell and Wingarten, had a conference. Win- garten appeared two days later in Dawson and looked up MacFarlane and Peterson. A week later, the Dawson Nug- get reported that the Dawson Min- ing Company had sold their interests to the Amalgamated Fishing 6: Mining Company of Alaska, and that in the following spring the two claims would be run together. lmmediately after the sale, Mac- Farlane and Peterson left by dog- sledge for Southern 'Alaska, on their way to the States. Maxwell re- mained as manager for the Amalga- mated interests. Funny, said Peterson, after they had taken the boat from Juneau, how we were so suspicions of that Max- well fellow. Maxwell can stay in Alaska if he wants to, MacFarlane replied. As for me, l'm going to settle down when l get back in the States. l've seen the last of Alaska. Me too, Peterson replied. l'm going to take life easy in my old age. The two stood by the rail, taking a last look at the shores of Alaska, slowly fading in the distance. Mac- Farlane was sobered at the sightg a tear glistened in his eye, and he felt a lump rise in his- throat. He felt as though he were leaving his home. Every one had treated him squarely. He recalled all the years he had spent there: the years of unsuccessful prospecting: the find: the paystreak it developed into: the success over the Amalgamated interests. Alaska had been good to him. She had given him wealth, and now he was going back to the States to spend it. He dreaded going, now, while a day before he had been eager to get back to the States. Peterson stopped in Minnesota. which had formerly been his home. but MacFarlane, having no home but the land of the North, went to New York. l-le had planned a quiet life, but the old spirit of chance, the gambling with fate, was still in his blood. l-le experimented in the stock market. At first there was pleasure in the game. A loss there meant nothing to him, but his gains were not infrequent. A streak of ill-luck struck him, and he suffered loss after loss. Then he decided to play the market to win. FIVE years passed, and MacFar- lane's hair was streaked with white. Five years in New York had left a larger mark on his face than ten years in Alaska had. He knew of the change also, and he felt im- measurably older. He longed for the open trail. Traveling did not help much, but only impressed upon him his longing for the North. He tired of gambling with stocks. For him there was only one game, and that the life of a prospector in the wilds of Alaska. There was but one thing that he desired to do, and that was to go back to Alaska and hit the trail for the open places. That was his home, and he felt it deeply. Money is a small factor in a man's life, MacFarlane told himself lt cannot bring him those things for which he is longing. l must go back. So MacFarlane decided to return, not to prospect for gold, but to find happiness: to find that which is the greatest factor in life. He had all the money he wanted, and would lead his June THE LINCOLNIAN Pazezs more: but he did not have that which he wanted most, happiness. He be- lieved that if he returned to the North he could find it as he had found gold. The North called to him, and he went. The source of my wealth, he said, shall be, also, the source Of my mirth. The journey was long, and Mac' Farlane was impatient. He stood anxiously at the rail of the steamer, watching for a sight of the North- land. l have come back, heisaifl to himself, as if calling out to Alas- kag will you give me happiness? His heart beat faster as he neared the shores. He was a hunter again: not of gold, but of happiness. He should have itl He should have itl MacFarlane felt that the country had promised him that. But this quest would be different. lt would be doubly hard to find happiness where he had found gold before. He found himself again in Daw- son. But now it was different. How the human race changes things! Here was Dawson-once home to Mac- Farlane-now as New York, with gambling houses, dance halls, thea- ters and cafes. Everything. in Mac- Farlane's eye, looked different now. It could not be Dawson-his hap- piness: he must look to the wilds. lt was the wilds which called him. THE next spring, MacFarlane sta rt- ed northward. With a dog-sledge and grub for a year, he mushed toward the McKenzie river. Along the route he cached a part of his food for his return. The first of the feathered fowl found MacFarlane ahead of them in their summer home. Northward he went, as did the birds. Like the birds, he was getting away from the warmer climate and from men. To the north he would find quiet, free from the cares of everyday. On and on and on Maclrarland mushed, far northward. He saved his rations by shooting wild fowl and venison for himself and the dogs. ln places he prospected for gold, but not with the same lust -as before. He had convinced himself that gold was not what he wanted: it was not what had called him back to Alaska. No, it was happiness which he now sought, and he should have it. He felt that the wild promised him that. She seemed to speak to him, to be near him, a spirit in embers of the camp-fire dying in the night. ' One night he was awakened 'by an early fall of snow drifting in on him thru the flap of his tent. Far away he could hear. the howling of a wolf- pack, and a fear came over him such as he had never known before. There seemed to be an unearthly note in their weird howl. It was a bold leader, MacFarlane decided, that pack so close to the own malamutes just again the fear crept Were the sledge dogs not hear them howl- tent, with his outside. Then into his heart. there? He did ing, as they surely would have with the wolves so near. No, they had left him: they had been called by the Northland. With the coming of the first snow, the feathered fowl flew southward, but MacFarlane did not go. He was held enchanted. The feathered fowl might come and go, but MacFarlane was to remain. Now he ate sparingly, for he planned to winter right where he was, and move with the coming of spring. But the monotony of places, of the unbroken wore on him. He had not happiness. He felt that he crazy if he did not break dullness of that life. He remained until the worst of the winter was over, then, strapping as much of his the open whiteness, yet found would go out of the Psse-90 THE LINCOLNIAN JUDO pack 'to his back as he could carry, he pushed back along the trail he had come. His food was low, and he must lose no time in reaching his first cache. He had 'too much time to think. As he pushed south, he reflected on his return to Alaska. He had gone far into the North, and was now re- turning, but not as he had expected. He had lost his dogs: most of his food was gone: part of his outfit lay beneath a heap of snow to the north: he had not found happiness. Day by day he watched with morbid interest the dwindling of his food. He could have eaten the dogs, he thot, if he had had them yet. He repeated over and over, I must reach the cachel l must reach the cache! All that he had left now was a little dried meat, hard as stone, about a pound of dried peas, a little pow- dered milk, and a little chocolate. He knew not how far he was from his cache. One day he covered twen- ty miles, and that night he ate lav- ishly of his scanty store. He needed the nourishment if he was to make progress on the following day. ln the morning he awoke early, and was soon on his way. I A few landmarks which he remembered he came to and passed, and he knew that his cache was not far. As dusk was falling he had a feeling that he could reach it before total darkness, so he hurried his steps. He was saved, he thot to himself. The North had been kind to him. He felt an ex- ultation which was nearer to joy than any he had felt for a long time. Yes, this was almost what he had wished for-something different from the everyday, commonplace life. He had gone thru a fight for his life, and had won. He eagerly climbed up to the big rock which sheltered the hole where his food was cached, and pulled away the canvas which covered it. But a sickness came over him as he saw. The meats were gone. The flour was mouldy. A few pounds of beans, a little tea, a small package of choc- olate, and some powdered milk was all that was left. MAC FARLANE stepped despair- ingly back from the cache. Dark- ness had enveloped the scene. His weariness, which he had forgotten in his haste to reach the cache, now returned to him doubly increased. Without eating a bite, he rolled him- self in his blankets and tried to sleep: but sleep did not come for a long while. ln the morning, he arose late, to find a threatening grayness over- spreading the sky. He well knew what it meant. He hurriedly pre- pared a scanty meal. Then the storm came. What could he do? His food was scarce, and the next cache a hundred miles or more toward Dawson. He had food enough for five days, he figured, if he ate as sparingly as he had in the past week. If he could cover the hundred miles in five days. he was sure that the cache would be undisturbed, for it was sheltered by nature from man and beast. He wait- ed for a lull in the blizzard, but all that day the wind blew fiercely, and the snow drifted in great piles on the ground. He was partly sheltered by the rocks where he had cached his food, but even then he had to wrap himself in his blankets and tarpaulin to keep from freezing. The next moming, he found the snow still falling ceaselessly, but the wind had subsided. He ate sparingly of his small store, then packed the rest in his blankets and, strapping the pack on his back, set forth. with dogged determination he kept steadi- J'-me THE LINCOLNIAN P8031 ly on the southward trail. Once a lace in his snowshoe snapped, and he lost a half-hour in repairing it. He kept on the lookout for any creature which might provide a little food, but he was the only living creature within miles. He had traveled for hours, it seemed to him, yet he could not tell how far he had come. He pulled out his compass to see if he was keeping his direction, but his rilie, strapped to his back, attracted the needle, so the compass did not point to the north. Try as he could, he was un- able to get the rifle from the pack, for it was frozen to the stiff lash- ings. How totally upset he was, this man of the North, the man whose home was the Northland. He was not himself after all those scanty meals, and the storm somehow drove him all but insane. The fourth day after leaving the cache found him starting out with nothing but his blankets wrapped in the tarpaulin, and a handful of tea. His riiie he had discarded because it added to the weight of his pack. He had no idea how far he was from his goal. The snow had stopped falling now, and the weather was intensely cold. At noon he stopped to build a fire and make some tea. He was getting weak, he mused, for he sat still a long time after drinking the hot tea. He could not weigh more than one hundred and twenty pounds now, when a month before he had weighed nearly one hundred and seventy. But at last he nerved him- self to go on. This could not last forever, he told himself: but he still hoped to reach the food. The North had always been his friend. He belonged to the Northland, and it would not betray him now in his need. The snapping cold bit thru his thin frame, but still he struggled on. The North is good to men who fight! he muttered over and over to goad himself! forward. That night he rolled in his blankets without eating+his tea was gone, and he awoke in the morning when the low winter sun was high. He could scarcelylrise, and he could not move far. Soon he had to roll himself in his blankets. in the shelter of a few jagged rocks. There he lay all day, hardly feeling the cold-feverish from hunger and exposure. The night was clear, and the stars and moon had never seemed so bright and large before as they did to MacFarlane that night. All the country seemed barren. There was no sound in all the Northland. The flashing of the aurora borealis was silent. For a long time he lay awake, strangely happy. For the first time he drank in the beauty and wonder of the open iplaces. At last he fell asleep when the moon waned, and he felt warm, and comfortable, and happy. He had lost all desire to move on-to fight any more. He had found gold in the North when it was gold he wanted. Now he had found happiness-in death. The THE. North had called him. lav- Northland had given to him ishly, and now she had taken his her law. And then, as he fell asleep for- life. Peacefully he submitted to ever, the wind sighed over the open places the song of the North in requiem.

The Autobiography of a Freshman BEING the life history of a Freshie known as Absolutely Obnoxious, from the time he en- tered the Lincoln High School until he was prepared to take upon himself the duties and cares of a Sophomore, with certain sidelights inserted by his chronicler, whose initials might stand for Solid Bone, but, fortunately do not. This story is absolutely authentic, with the exception of the sidclights mentioned before, nnd is set down with genuine veracity. DEDICATION C all milk assimilators and cow-feed, or greens, who 'have ever attended Lincoln High School, this epic is disrespectfully and disgustedly, as befits their humble station, inscribed. May the Freshman class gradually grow to be something bigger in size and better in classes on account of the good advice, not forgetting the sidelights, which forms the underlying theme of this history. We hope. Gentle Reader, that you will enjoy this, the chronicle of Absolutely O. WAS' not always a Freshman. At one time l had been dignified by the appellation of Eighth A, and was not then called Absolutely Ob- noxious. l have always been a favor- ite with the fair sex and may, l be- lieve, still claim to be fairly well re- ceived among their numbers at my true worth. As it is my purpose in this history of my life to set down without adul- teration or camouflage the true facts about myself, l must at the beginning confess to whatever faults l may have, be they few, and tell the whole truth. My one fault is an overwhelming de- sire to have a place in the sun, and now, as l approach my Sophomore year, my sun is beginning to set. l am beginning to go down in the dark, and l know that next September l will be nothing more than a heap of Sophomore squibblishness, selfishness and sophistication. Of this, enoughl I have an overweening desire to pro- gress to something bigger and better. As l have said in a previous para- graph, which, if you have already proceeded thus far, you have read, the girls, to put it vulgarly, all fall for me. l attribute this to my hand- some ffor l have pledged myself to absolute truthl countenance. By ac- tual count, thirty-two girls have fallen far enough into the embrace of that drug called love to accompany me to Clarks' and buy me a pie flemon, as befits my temperament, that l might look upon them with the radiance of my smile. Personally l was glad to have them buy me the pastry, and l am sure they will all understand me sufficiently to know that as l desire to enter my country's service, that l am soldierly, and like a good soldier, never retreat. This, in a way, is a fault of my extraction. l believe I may say extraction. fsome there are who have applied the term lemon to my personality, but the acidity of their remarks labeled them as of thc same caliberj This, however, has been no impediment to me, for I am able to use my hands and mouth, and talk faster and more volubly without say- when l say that l believe l can ing anything of importance, than any other Freshman at Lincoln, there are few who will doubt my words. l have an overweening desire fpar- jdon me if l make use of the diction- aryl to play marbles on the first team. l used to be a regular whiz, as I heard one of my lady friends say, at this fine game. Neveftheless, l gave up this manly sport when l began to attend high school, just when l and Leo Nelson had been elected captain of the marble team unanimously. That is, to explain myself. Leo was cap- tain and l was the fellow who got the other vote, my own. when l came P22934 THE LINCOLNIAN -Time to school, however, l- donated my marbles to l..eo, and l believe he still plays with them. l can never play again, however, as a man of my tem- perament is above such infantile things as playing marbles. l have now progressed to tiddledy winks and roller skates. l almost forgot my roller skates. pair, with wooden rollers, that all run except one which on one side, but to tell you about l have a wonderful awfully smoothly, has a flat place sometimes they get stuck. l can go almost as fast on them as l can walk without them. l brought my skates to school the first day, and was walk- ing clown the hall with them across my shoulder, when that horrid big boy who plays on the baseball team came along and swiped them. They were too big for him, however, as l am considerably turned up at the ends, but he almost got away with them. You know that big bump- on the floor l showed you the other' day? That's where Polly hit. The roller Tee-heel l had to laugh. He succeeded in pulling himself stuck. hasn't out of the floor yet. l dislocated my skates, 'for some other ruffian must have taken them. l went to the of- fice where the principal stays, altho l felt considerable like crying, but l knew that now l was in high school l must not cry, as l am almost thir- teen years old, and much too big to cry. There was an awfully pretty lady in the office. This pretty lady looked at me sym- pathetically, and asked me what l wanted. l told her l wanted my skates. She looked around and final- ly found them. She said the profes- sor of agriculture had been using them, and he said not to leave them in the hall again, or he would put them in the tool box of his automo- bile and use them for spare wheels. l wanted to give the skates to the pretty lady as a gift, for l had fallen in love with her, and I wanted her to fall for me, and l knew that if she used my skates she certainly would. But l took them home. l don't think she has yet, for the other night l asked her if she woulcln't take me over to Clarks', but she said she hadn't time, and the other night when l was out after cur- few l saw her down town with a sol- dier. It was an officer, and l'd tell you about him. l won't tho, for l'm afraid he wouldn't like it. T'l'lE first thing l had to do when l came to high school on the first day was to go into a big room with books all around the walls and a lot of tables on the floor. There was a funny old man with blue eyes and a black cap in there. He kept laugh- ing in a funny low laugh and saying didn't understand anything. l was sort oi afraid of him. l supposed maybe he Don't you? when anyone was the principal, and that he wore the little cap so every one would know who he was. He came toward me once, but l looked away, and when l looked again he was talking to a nice look- ing little girl who had yellow hair and blue eyes. She was awfully stylishly dressed. l'le came around to me after a while, and asked me what l wanted to take. l told him l would take the same things that the little girl with the yellow hair was taking. But he said No. The girl was going to- take domestic science, and they couldn't trust me in the kitchen. l'll take the same things Cleve Olson takes, then, l said. He told me that was impossible, and laughed again. He elucidated fmy father gave me two bits for 4 I -Tulle THE LINCOLNIAN P03035 learning that word, and I know one which is worth four bits, but I won't tell it to you yetj, by explaining that Cleve was immune. He never took anything but the leading role in the Chimes of Normandy, and Mr. Ball saw him taking that and made him put it back where he found it. Cleve never took anything. Not even vac- cination would take on Cleve. He was just exposed to things. I finally put down what I wanted to take, study, penmanship, lunch, agriculture and gymnasium. I told him I wanted the librarian for study teacher, Mr. Orr for penmanship, Miss Ericson for agriculture, pie for lunch, and Miss Townsend for gym- hasium. The man with the black cap said that he would see that I got what was coming to me from these teachers, but that they could not give me them for those subjects this sem- ester. I wonder what he meant about getting what was coming to me? They asked me for a dollar the first day I went to roll room. I told them I never saw a dollar in my life, and would not part with it if I had one. The teacher told me I couIdn't come to school if I did not, however, so I got one from my dad, but it was in one-cent pieces. I took it to the teacher. but he said it wasn't legal tender. I told him of course it wasn't tender. It was hard cash. I had it changed across the street, but a man without much hair caught me when I was coming back and he took me to the office. When they saw the dol- lar, however, they let me go back to my roll room. The next week I was asked for an- other dollar, and when I said I want- ed to know what it was for, they pulled some stuff off on me about everyone subscribing to the school paper. As I have had some experi- ence on the large papers of the United States, I did not feel that I, who carried- papers fc-r the Times, should handover a dollar without some inducement. I sald that I would subscribe if I was made editor, busi- ness manager and staff writer. They told me I could, but when I went around to the office after I had given them my dollar, we finally capitulated on the janitor. I have since been made an advertising solicitor for the lower Commerce street district, and I expect to get all the old copper cuts for my dad, who has a second-hand shop down there, to sell for scrap TURNED out for football when the coach called out the players. I played the best game of anyone on the field, except for Ralph Pollen, who plays, or thinks he plays, a bet- ter game than anyone else. The rmetal. I coach, a fellow with brown shoes and a green sweater, didn't seem to ap- preciate my work, however. He said that I played a good game, but that it wasn't football. He told me I ought to save myself for something- betterg and that football would be bad for my health, but that when I grew a little larger and heavier they might use me for a tackling dummy. I tolfl him I would play baseball, and to save the position of captain for me. He didn't think much of that how- ever, and told me that as I did not have any use for my head that he might use it to play Kelly pool with down at Scobey's. I don't think much of a man who can't be serious in a serious case. About a month after school opened I'found that I still had my afternoons free, so that maybe I c'ouId get a good position in some desirable em- ployment. I took the examination for I passed, I think, for captain said they could as my feet passed. I the policemen. at least the consider me, don't admire my feet very much, for they are size, fourteen, and flat. The P08235 THE. LINCOLNIAN June captain said they were fine, however. and that they were ideal for the force. He promised tu call me up if there were any vacancies. l had an awful case the other day. lt was on me. A little girl who was Perfectly Nice had it on me. l think she is awfully cute. She made me promise not to tell what she told me, and then she told me a secret. lt was about a girl who was Bountiful in Girth, but who is getting thinner so fast she had to--well, she treated me, however, to make me promise not to tell a boy who is Really Won- derful. The boy who was Really Wonder- ful offered me two pies to tell him, however, and l took him up. He teases her about it now, and she is off me. l don't care much, because l got the pies. l don't like Sophomores. These su- percilious, attenuated sepulchral imi- tations of human beings annoy me by calling me a Freshie and other oppro- bious names not in the dictionary. They even tease me about my de- scent. l admit l have descended. l did on the elevator the other day. But they claim l have descended below an ordinary human being, which you know is not so. I made a poem one week. It went something like this: One moment please. The muse attacked me while l was defenseless. l had just heard my rollroom teacher say sternly, Re- port to three-twenty-three at two- thirty. Wherefore this outburst of which these lines are a part: Oh, it don't matter if l'm late, lt is all the same to me: For all the rollroom teacher says is, Report at two-thirty to three- twenty-three. Whatever l do, it is all the same, And if l get caught, l'm the one to blame, For all the roll teacher can claim ls the right to say Report to three- twenty-three at two-thirty. The meter is a little faulty, and the rhyme is a trifle worse, but I am able to tolerate that, if you are. The meter ran out at the last, and l couldn't think of the rhyme. I SKIP. l went to lunch room the 'other day. l don't see what they call it a lunch room for. There is nothing there that anyone would want to eat for lunch. l went to the door and gave the boy a dime. He me two checks and five pennies, gave and said that pennies were not good there, so he would give them to me. lt made me sore, but the boy was big- ger than l am. l went in and got a bowlful of colored water, which they called soup, Hoover soup, l be- lieve. There was a stick floating on the top of it. .Miss Lowes the stuff was nourishing, and l asked her if that was what she lived on. She said not, but that she used food. claimed Mellirfs l skip. Miss Hazel Clark has a case on me. l knew that that woman would fall for me yet. She told me she just loved Abe Olswan g, but that she liked me better. Whenever l come will have, and tells me that she has fine pies and ice cream. l am afraid her in there she asks me what l offer is not in good faith, however, and l have not taken advantage of it yet, exceptwhen somebody is going to treat me. Then l go the limit. I am sure she has a case on me, tho. They all get it sooner or later, be- cause l am such a handsome man. l'll be cheating Waddie out of Signa pretty soon. June THE LINCOLNIAN P12037 IAM going to become a writer, l think. just after the second sem- ester started l wrote a beautiful story. It was a love story, and the best thing l ever wrote. l tried to get it pub- lished in The Lincolnian, of which l am, rightfully, editor and business manager and staff writer. Walter Malone told me, however, that it wasn't any good, but of course, I knew it was then. They almost used force to put me out of the office. When Mrs. Wilbert swept out the of- fice that afternoon l got my story back out of the waste basket. l handed the same story in to Bill Birks. He read it over, or at least he said he did. l wanted to put him in a good humor after l gave it to him, so l invited him to treat me to a pie at Clarks'. He said he was too busy. l don't like that fellow very well. Later he asked me who it was. l wonder what he meant? Some day however, l will write of the time l was a young man. l am saving up lots of material about that story, from the experiences l am hav- ing now. Later l found out what Bill meant. He thinks I am in love. l have him fooled, however, because it is not me who is in love, but the ladies with me. He didn't take my story, how- ever. l think l will sell my story to Hai-per's Monthly or the Saturday Evening Post or the Woman's Home Companion. l haven't quite decided yet. l have almost completed my first year in high school, and l have estab- lished an enviable record among the women of my class thru my grace, poise and elegance, especially of ex- pression. A great many of the Seniors are jealous of me, and as for the Sophs, they can't tolerate my com- pany. Why, some are so envious that when I go in The Lincolnian office they try to throw me out. Yet l am happy. I know that it is because l have the advantage over them. l had a new girl the other day. Her name is Florence. l could talk to her by the hour, for she appreciates my jokes so much. l was going to take her home from school one night, but she went up to the auditorium and l got tired waiting for her, so l left. She didn't like it, I guess, but l can afford to be independent with women. They respect you more if you are. She forsook me, or shook me when a soldier hove in the horizon. i l bare my heart strings to you. l asked thirteen girls to go to the base- ball game with me, which is free, but not one of them would do it. lt is almost as bad as Francis Johnson, my cousin, who goes to Stadium. He asked about seventeen girls to go to Jeanne d'Arc with him, but they wouldn't do it. l know you will un- derstand how l feel, gentle reader. This last is too much. I will cease. l cannot go on, for l have completed. I have left off. l am done. l am ended. But, gentle reader, do not de- spair. l will be with you again next autumn. l will then be a Sophomore and will regale you with tales ol my exploits as one of the union of Fresh- man Tamers. l will not always be a Freshman. Adiosl Ja. GOLD An Allego ry. HERE was once a merry kingdom whose peoples seemed to be of the gayestg whose life was of the swiftest: whose court was of the proudest, and whose ruler was of the greatest. The people, from the richest to the poorest, and some were very rich and great numbers were very poor, all loved their ruler. They worshipped him. They made his creed their religion. Tho they still attended the house for the worship of Cod, they made him their god. He was known as Gold. These people built great cities, where the richest ruled and the poorest served. They gathered in vast numbers. They erected build- ings which were the highestg built avenues which were the lorigesti ran railways which were the busiest: established businesses which were the most prosperous. They took away those things natural: they crowded out those things which were green and bloomed and gave joy to the sick and the suffering. They made their motto, Util- ity, and their watchword Efficiency. And the rich, the aristocracy, gathered in their palaces of extravagance and wantonness, where there was much of the intoxicating: much of the delirious: not a little of the unclean: and a taste of the mad. They danced away Time and Life and Charity. They erected high walls which they called Position, to separate them from the masses of the poor, who by far outnum- bered the rich. But the poor were herded in hovels, and made to toil daily in houses of sweat, under the feet of the aristocracy. And in these cities their god reigned. These were temples erected for the seeking and worship of Gold. But there journeyed into this kingdom a stranger. There were some who called him Fire: to some he was known as lnspiration: and still others, who professed a knowledge of books, said that his name was Reaction. And so, ,as this stranger passed from village to village, and from country to town, the people followed him, and clung to him. and praised him, and worshipped him. The rich were very angry, and the poor were very glad: but the ruler, Cold, was unmoved and untroubled. At first this stranger had been received with awe'g then with vague whisperings which passed from ear to ear: then with a shoutg and at last with great exulting, and rioting, and turmoil, which grew and swelled like a troubled se- before the storm. ' Then the pendulum, which some call Fate, some Time, and others History, swung in a wide arc. It swept thearistocracy of wealth from its feet. Suppression reacted against the rich, imprisoning many--placing many within that greatest of prisons--Death. Then there followed much gaietyg a great deal of rejoicing: some wantonness: all was chaos. And the poor danced to wild music, and drank in the intoxication of power, and shouted their watchword, Democracy! But they still worshipped the same god, Cold. L N Drifting By Howard Ericson. HE rays of the mo-rning sun sifted thru the leaves of the trees outside and in thru the window oi jack l..ockhart's room. The strong light fell on his face as he lay asleep, and awakened him. He looked blink- ingly at the sun, already quite high in the sky, then he turned over, curled up once more and gazed at the flowery wallpaper drowsily. It was a day of some event, he mused. Graduation dayl His thots were all jumbled together. Would his girl get the flowers he had sent her? He was lucky to get by in his exams. How many dances would she give him? His new clothes had some style to them. They beat Newt's by far. With a bound he sprang from the bed and snatched up his new suit which had been hanging a chair, where he night before. Oh, boy! he ing the position of a yell leader, feet over the back of had placed it the exclaimed, assum- wide apart and hands clenched. Watch me in the grand marchl a high pitched call from the kitchen below. Jimmy, hurry up. Breakfast is ready. All right, ma, l'll be there in just a moment, answered jimmy, and then he began to dress. .. . .. Jlmmyl came This morning, Commencement day, Jimmy hurried. On school days he took his time. Gee, but l'm hungry, mal he burst out, coming into the kitchen. 'l'hat's good, song glad to hear it, his mother said, putting some crisp brown waffles before him. Your mother is certainly proud of you, Jim- my, she said. Have you made up your mind yet whether you are going to college in the fall? Naw, no more school for me for a while. l'm going to strike out and earn some cash. A good fob's the thing for me. lt will be a disappointment to your father, James, if you don't go. You know, he has always planned on your making something of yourself, his mother went on. Aw, Ma, Jimmy objected, Newt ain't going to college. Most of the fellows in our hunch are going to work, and have a little money to spend and have a good time while they can. Elizabeth's going to stay home next year, too. At this point jimmy's little ten- year-old sister, Edith, rushed in from outside, interrupting the conversa- tion. S'pose you think you're the whole cheese today, she blurted out, mak- ing a most hideous face. What's it to you? retorted Jim- my, swallowing his coffee. Usoreheadl Soreheadln she teased. Coshl l'll have to hurry, Ma. l promised to help decorate the hall, he exclaimed, looking at the clock. l'll be back sometime around four. D6n't forget to hold the step lad- der for your sweetheart, jim-my, taunted Edith, puckering up her mouth. jimmy grabbed his hat and started out, slamming the door after him. l wish that boy would settle down to something, the mother sighed. That's what l say, Mama, and l don't see why you let- Edith stopped short. A look from her mother silenced her. DAYLIGHT waned, and the prep- arations for the evening were complete. The commencement exer- cises were beginning. On the rose- P12040 THE LINCOLNIAN -711110 decorated platform the graduates took their places, the girls forming an ob- long of fluttering white, with the blue- suited, smiling boys in tiexs back of them. Parents and friends looked on with pride and anxiety. The pride was for what the youth before them had accomplished: the anxiety for what the future would be. After the exercises came the dance. Here jimmy was at his best. He -danced every dance, choosing the girls he liked the best time after time. But at last the gay occasion broke up with Home, Sweet Home. The next day jimmy slept until al- most eleven, and when he descended to the kitchen to get his somewhat belated breakfast, Edith began teas- mg again. Oh, Elizabeth, may l have the pleasure of the next dance with you ? she said, mimicing her brother. Oh, thanks ever so much. l enjoyed the last simply fine! she mocked. Ma, if you don't stop that kid, l will, Jimmy threatened. Be quiet, Edith! Mrs. Lockhart said, mildly. Edith was silent for a few minutes, then she spoke again. n.lim-my's got to work: jim-my's got to work. Don't you, jim-my? Well, don't you think l know it? he snarled. jim-my has to earn the money to take Miss E-liza-beth Erdel to their old launch party, 'cause Dad won't give him any more money, continued Edith. Oh, Jim-my! Graduation was over, and jimmy had to look for employment. Edith's mockery clinched the point. DURING the following year Jimmy drifted. He went from one job to another. At first he was enthusi- astic over each new job, but as the novelty wore off, jimmy wanted something new. He was never satis- fied for more than a week. He want- ed variety. One evening early in the summer of the year after he had graduated, jimmy was sitting on the porch with his father. Mrs. Lockhart and Edith had gone to a neighbor's house. james, Mr. Lockhart said abrupt- ly, what are you going to do with yourself? This quitting one job after another will never get you any place. You have to stop. Either you learn a trade, or l'll send you to college. Jimmy was silent for some time. ln- wardly he was rebelling. l don't know- That's just it, son. You don't know. You're a rolling stone. You spend every cent you make chasing around evenings. You are not one bit better off than when you got thru high school a year ago, and maybe worse. What do you say? jimmy felt the necessity of an- swering, so he said ol? hand, l'd like to go farming, l think, Dad. You know, l like to ride a horse, and all that sort of stuff. Couldn't l go up to Uncle ,lim's ranch in Canada? What are you going to do up there? Make a farmer of yourself? There is no finer occupation than farming, james. But if you are 'going to do what you ask, you've got to make up your mind to stickl l will, Dad. You just let me go, and l'll prove that l can do what l say, pleaded jimmy. His father was rather slow to con- sent, but after considerable coaxing, jimmy finally persuaded him. Well, you can go. But if you give it up, mind you, you have to do what l said. l'll send you to college, and you won't have a large enough al- lowance to chase around and have a good time, either. Remember, this is linall Mr. Lockhart said. Long after his father had gone into the house, Jimmy remained sitting on June THE LINCOLNIAN P83541 the porch. He was thoughtfully sil- ent. ln his imagination he pictured himself a prosperous farmer, riding around on horseback, giving orders to his help. lr. his imagination he built a great farm house, fitted like a pal- ace, where he entertained all his old- time friends. I-le planned great sta- bles, tennis courts, even a golf course. When the first stars came out Jimmy was still entranced in his dreams. lMMY'S interest in farming increased when he came to his uncle's farm. There's the place, son, said Un- cle jim as he drove up to the farm with jimmy on the first day. He pointed to a large white farmhouse, with a great red chimney at one end. and a wide porch in front. At the rear was a high, boxlike barn. Wav- ing iields of grain bordered the road- way on either side. Rolling mead- ows lay in the background and sleek cattle and horses grazed leisurely upon them. This is the life, Uncl Jimmy hlus- tered. l never knew before how swell farming was.

Jimmy enjoyed farming for the first week. He went horseback riding: he went swimming, and he helped some with the chores. At last he had found what he liked, he thought. But his enthusiasm died out as his work in- creased. Getting up ahead of the sun was bad enough. Harvesting the crops was worse. Jimmy, said his uncle one even- ing. l'm going up about ten miles north in the morning to get me an- other work horse. Do you want to go along? It was a welcome oppo-rtunity to escape a day's work. Riding was better by far than pitching hay. You bet l will, jimmy responded. On the next morning Jimmy started out with his uncle. lt was a cold, in- vigorating ride, and the horses were -fresh and spirited. At a disreputable- looking house Uncle Jim halted. ' What are you stopping here for? Jimmy asked. Why, this is the place we were headed for, responded Uncle jim. Not very respectable, is it? I guess not, jimmy said with em- phasis. What a contrast it was to his un- cle's farml The tumbled down, un- painted, weather-beaten shack could not have looked more dilapidated. Pig pens, chicken coops, sheds and so on were scattered around prorniscuously back of the house. The inhabitants of these miscellaneous structures were all over the yard. So you call this a ranchl jimmy exclaimed. His uncle smiled. The woman who came to the door- way when Uncle Jim knocked was of slatternly appearance. He's aroun' down there on the road, fixin' up the fence, she said, indicating a certain portion of the roadway. Jimmy and his uncle went in the direction she indicated, and found her husband, a tall, lanky person, care- lessly dressed and stoop-shouldered, patching up an ancient rail fence. Hello, Mr. Lockhart, how are you? he asked. Fine, thank you, Monty, Uncle jim returned. l came to see that horse you told me about. Oh, yes, that's right. We'll go right away. Monty dropped his work and proceeded with them to the barn. After a bargain had been made and Monty handed the receipt to Jim- Psxe42 THE LINCOLNIAN June the 'horse paid for, Uncle Jim told Jimmy to go with Monty to the house for the receipt. He himself wanted to see a neighbor before returning home. The appearance of the room Monty took jimmy into was of a condition similar to that of the exterior of the house. Everything looked neglected. There were no curtains at the win- dows and a narrow The only of chairs, a broken the floor had nothing but strip of rag carpet on it. furnishings were a couple a table and a rocker with seat. What a contrast it was to his uncle's homel jimmy's gaze wandered about the room, and rested on a framed certi- ficate. Jimmy went closer, and found it to be a diploma issued from a high school. At first he was puzzled how it came to be there. Then he read the name. ls this your diploma? he ex- claimed in astonishment. Monty looked up from his writing. Yes, he said sadly. That is a hit- ter reminder of what l might have laeen. After l graduated l did not have sense enough to settle down to anything. l could have gone to col- lege. l might be as well off as your uncle is had l only had the sound sense he had.

Would he become the kind of a man this Monty was? His uncle glanced at him shrewdly, and asked, Well, jimmy, what did you think of Monty? Jimmy looked up with a start. He replied slowly, l don't know, uncle. He hasn't very pleasant surround- ings. THE next morning Uncle jim found jimmy packing his grips. What are you doing, Jimmy? he asked. Going home! he returned. Going home? the uncle asked, incredulous. Yes, l've made a decision. l'm going back to school. Dad said that if l got tired of farming, that he would make me go to college. l'm going back to give Dad his chance to make a man out of me. 1 A Baby Biographies THIRD SERIES APOLOGIA WE herewith present for your perusal, Dear Reader. the third series of om. inim. itable Baby Biographies. When we inaugurated these infant epics, they gained in popularity, and we received much favorable comment. We believe that this justifies our decision to publish this last series. It is sometimes well for the best of us to throw aside the cloak of seriousness with which we regard ourselves and view the -beings which are us thru the magic spectacles of levity. It is not such a responsible position as we sometimes think- this bein! us. . Alfred Lewis Gehri, Esq. HENEVER l hear the name of Alfred mentioned, l cannot help thinking of the boy he used to be. At those times I regret that the world has moved on, and with it the youth of Alfred has passed. There was once n lad whole heart was as light as the day is long. Full of life as the ocean is of water, this youth found his way into many esca- pades, and what is more remarkable, out again. y But gone are the days of his merry childhood. The innocent boyhood has passed away, and now he is worldly, cynical, tired even of life. By a critical study of the portrait of the youth whom you see before- you, you might realize to some extent' how care-free were the early days' of his childhood. We have here two moods of youth. ln the one we see the latent instinct which lies deep he- neath the skin of every man-the instinct which Hamed so strongly in the caveqman of a million years ago, P8044 THE, LINCOLNIAN -T1-me and it still burns under the skin of civilized man. lt is the instinct of freedom. lt is the longing for the independence of the cave man. lt is smoldering desire to cast off the ties of civilization which bind and hamper and limit the spirit of man. We see the youth, happy in a new pair of overalls, which are merely for the costuming of the character, for the youthful Alfred had never worn a pair before, with the light of a new- born, free man in his keen blue eye. His chest is full and erect. For all the world he looks like a conqueror, and the greatest conqueror at that, the conqueror of circumstances. Few are the men who can disre- gard circumstances and do the thing which they know, for them, is right. Few can throw the opinions of the public to the winds. The Alfred in the picture, however, is just such a man. ln the other pose, the youthful Alfred displays a tendency which we have evidence that he formed at a tender age. To this day he still possesses a love for style in dress. But in the photograph he dresses in a different manner from what he does today. How long ago it was that Alfred discarded those cute little frocks and donned the more manly attire of trousers! It was then that he ceased to be Alfred and became Al. O, soon after the picture was taken, Alfred entered a new era in life, the era in which he passed from the 'infant who was Alfred to the boy who was Al. And here- after, until he entered the third era, we must denote the prodigy by the name Al. Al learned fast in everything but spelling and other scholarly subjects. l-le soon was so accomplished that he could wiggle his ears, and whistle thru his fingers, and spin a top like a veteran. Among the other neighbor- hood youths he became ringleader, and many times he brot down the wrath of some householder by pitching a baseball thru a window on the second story or climbing over the back fence and appropriating the bottle of milk from the porch. lt is hard for me, his youthful admirer and biographer, to tell of these crimes committed by the youthful Al: but it is best that I deal with absolute faith and sincerity and truth. Following these early years when Al was learning his first lessons in the ways of the world, came a period when he stayed out nights. And ever since then, Alfred has not sojourned at home in the evenings. HE third era of Al's life brot a deeper realization to the prodigy, and so the title of Al had to be dis- carded as too frivolous for man's estate. ln place of Alfred we must insert the third name, and hencefor- ward he will be known as A. Lewis Cehri. fifty, adorning his immaculate brush- XVith manhood came a taste for the best in dress. YI-le was never seen on the street after entering this third era without his Burnside, always two- back. Having a more serious purpose in living, he broke old associations and formed new. He had some experi- ence in love.- Under the influence of spring he succumbed, and not until the army post came did his views on the matter suffer transition. And while the influence of this in- toxicant, he began his literary career. Poems he attempted. Narratives came easy, as he had for a long time been gifted in the art of bluffing. The deeper psychological subjects inter- ested our prodigy most. Later still came his delvings in the drama. June THE LINCOLNIAN Psssts And now, after having successfully presented his first drama to the pub- lic, we must add another attachment to his name. Like Percival MacKaye and the senator from Pocatello, he suffixes an Esquire to the already overburdened title. But the last has not been heard from Alfred Lewis Gehri, Esquire. We will probably hear of this gentleman journeying about like a wandering bard, disappointed in love and life alike, an unappreciated genius. Yet his name shall take its place in the hall of fame, and its place shall have to be large to accommodate it all. 1.11. X Ruth NE State in the Union, blessed above all others with so many notables born within its boun- daries, can claim the distinction of harboring a young genius within its borders for a length of time. But that time has passed now, and the State of Kansas has fallen into ill times, for Ruth has journeyed into a good country, and makes her home in the land which nature intended for such good people. Were this poor biographer more imaginative and artistic, and less self- concentered, he might draw a touch- ing picture of the sad state of Kansas after Ruth had 'left its confines for the state of Washington. But this biographer is lacking, for the picture must remain undrawn. Were he more descriptive, he might convey in some mean way the great mirth and hap- piness which came with Ruth to 'her new home, for jollity and Ruth are companions inseparable. From this early photograph, which would hardly pass as a likeness to- day, tho there is some of the facial resemblance present, we observe a remarkably serious young lady clad in a gown which would not be in the height of style today. HAVE you ever stopped to consider what a change a few years can. bring in anything except such monu- ments of lasting sameness as the pyramids? Today l am. behold!- young and handsome: tomorrow bald Hastie. and fat. The pretty-faced girl who sits at the same table as Sam Levin- son in the library will in a few years Q I , be beautified and matured with an observance and knowledge of the problems of life. Likewise the town where l was born, when l return after a few years, will be grown and expanded and commercialized and in- spired by that modern god called Business, so that l shall scarcely be able to recognize a single spot. Everything changes. Nothing is old. Nothing is constant. Paze46 THE LINCOLNIAN , -THUG l have sermonized. l was cut out for the stage rather than for a bi- ographer. But to again turn our mutual at- tention to the photograph, Dear Read- er, and my attention, tho distant, is yours, we might reflect that to live in Kansas might make any one seri- ous, even Dot Nelson. just think of living in a country where any minute a cyclone might arise, and you with it, carried away by its en- thusiasm-excuse mel--with its gust-0, and deposited in another county. Why. in such a country one might never be sure of one's place of residence the next minute. l am not sure but that it was a cyclone which brot Ruth to Tacoma. The very thot of living in Kansas is sobering, and from all reports, every one in Kansas is sober. From the photograph we can easily see that Ruth had not at that time lived very long in Kansas. Perhaps her seriosity-begging your pardon, Dear Reader. your pardon and tol- erance for the levity with which l treat your native tongue-was due to her being as yet unaccustomed to Kansas winds. ln fact, from the photo, l don't believe Ruth had lived anywhere on earth to any great length. HAT Ruth accomplished in the years of her life now passed is not infinitesimal. Her pen. borrowed often from the editor, has been pro- lific in its productions which should grace the modest pages of this poor offering we publish. Her favorite subjects have been gentlemen in uni- forrn. We can just hear her words ringing in our ears still: Say, Gladys, wasn't that lieuten- ant just the swellest dancer? Gee, l could have danced with him the whole eveningl ' But Ruth we have not heard the end of. Tho many writers of short stories have sent letters to the editor of The Lincolnian begging him to discourage Ruth from continuing writing, and offering all sorts of bribes for him to stop publishing her stories, lest they should be'in danger of losing their popularity, the editor has time and again refused to be in- fluenced. So soon we may see the names of Tarltington and Butler faded into the past and replaced by that of Hastie. We would like to close this bi- ography with a pun on her name, but since at present we cannot think of any, we will continue. Perhaps in telling of Ruth's life l have been too laudatory and have neglected to tell the whole truth. But, as Shakespeare observes in- was it not Richelieu ?-that the truth will out! Ruth has a vulnera- ble spot. Her failing may be traced to the very roots, of her teeth. lt is guml And when l say that Ruth is re- 'markably active, l am right. Her mouth is always going, one way or another. lll. Samuel Garland N writing the biography of Sam- uel Garland Baker, junior, it is our purpose to cover the two great periods of his life-the great periods of the life of everyone. His past, tho lacking in years. is by no means devoid of incident and Baker, junior. anecdote which would make very ac- ceptable reading were we not limited to twenty pages for Samuel Garland Baker, junior. As we have already used up three lines and written noth- ing more than his name, we cannot go into detail. and in the future may -Tune THE LINCOLNIAN Paze4'1 even be forced to mention this prod- igy with extreme abbreviationy From babyhood's first predilection, one lifelong argument was settled. The fond parents need never have worried about Samuel's hair losing its curl, or his countenance losing its smile. When that millenium shall come, we must needs look to the after security of our souls. Long after the flowing golden curls, pride of childhood days, were cut and laid away with the greatest treas- ures of the family, there still remained the curl of Sam's hair. Born, blessed with a crown of curls, which was destined to save him many an hour which might otherwise have been spent in combing and brushing. but which all the currying in the world could not alter from what it is, Sam has a countenance of in- dividuality. But nature makes amends, and so in compensation she gave Sam- uel massive feet. His feet have proved a double bless- ing, for besides affording him notoriety of no mean amount and infallible understanding, they have undoubtedly proved an incalculable influ- ence in the leather market and shoe industry. But with such feet, Samuel is under one disadvantage which is partly balanced by the mildness of our climate. Sam can never journey far northward, for should his feet ever get cold, Sam would be cold indeed. Aside from his feet and his hair, which after all are mere physical pe- culiarities, Sam has two other points of distinction. One touches very closely upon his hair. He has what we might term his ego, or self ap- preciation. It is not all the world which is blessed with an appreciative sense, but Sam is an exception. Rare- ly have there been students attending Lincoln who show this quality to such a marked degree, and only one, the unequalable Alfred Gerhi, attends to- day. Perhaps Sam has even sur- passed Alfred. At any rate such is the evidence, and I shall now summon facts to prove the case. Alfred has purchased one inch of this Lincoln- ian to be used exclusively to the ad- vertising of him. Not to be surpassed, Samuel has contracted for not less than six inches. And with your leave to trespass, let us quote from the good book, By their works ye shall know them. The other point of which l shall Paze4S TI-IE LINCOLNIAN June nowispeak is what he would have called his victual center. ln real- ity this is none other than the organ which in ordinary human beings is a stomach, but owing to the abnormal development in Samuel, no ordinary name will do justice. Thus the breach of the English language. Without over-rating the capacity of this vic- tual center, l may safely say that he can easily swallow four pies, seven bottles of that degenerate drink called pop, besides about three pints of ice cream: after which he will show you the candy counter and give you an invitation to take advantage of your opportunity. NOW we come to the narration of the story which should take up many pages were we to take up in turn each actor individually, but such is an impossibility in our limited space, so again let us quote from the good book, Since brevity is the soul of wit, l will be brief. '-'l..ove first entered the life of the young Samuel when he was not yet ten. Samuel was at that time in his very early childhood, but already he had attained' the dignity which the seventh grade in school affords. There entered his perspective a fair ffatl imaiden, then as now and forever a fisher of men, a siren for men's hearts -especially when in uniform. Beat- rice was her name, and in later years this first affection, tho its spark had been smothered with blankets cast over it by parental watchfulness, burst out again in its true heat and flamed afresh. lt was in these later years that Sam returned the caress which she had given him at her eleventh birthday party, and after all these years, with his heart heavy under the knowledge and consciousness of a sin unrighted, knowing that he possessed that which was not rightfully his, he made repayment. But Beatrice gave way to an indif- ference toward all of her sex, and not until this youthful Sam was in his second year in high school did love again knock at his door. Unlike op- portunity, love strikes at every manf s door innumerable times. She must have found the wrong address a good many of those times, and given Sam the benefit. The second case went farther, and Sam progressed to the stage where he asked her if she could live on a farm, for Samuel had at this time decided to devote his years for the betterment of agriculture. The girl, if she ever reads this, will remember his passion- ate words. This second, also, was the first young lady whom Samuel ever es- corted to an evening's entertainment, and Sam can, if he will, tell you how the whole family tagged along. But the first has passed, and the second has passed, and many another has passed since then. And of the future l have this to say: Samuel Garland Baker, junior, shall not be wanting in fame. His name shall be widely known, and more widely yet shall he tell of his own virtues. Wherever American blood flows in American veins, there shall the deeds of Samuel be spoken of. But as to the desirability of Sam- uel's notoriety, l remain silent. Once there was an abnormal human being fsad to sayl who was known as Shy- lock. He was mercenary. Well, Sam- uel is not a Shylock. There was an- other individual some time before who bore the name of Julius Ceasar. He was ambitious. Sam is not a Ceasar. ln our own age there still lives a man who quite frequently has his name in the newspapers as the Kaiser, but whose real name is William. Nor is Sam a kaiser. Perhaps Samuel Garland Baker, ju- -YUM THE LINCOLNIAN Pase49 nior, will be an advertising man. May- be he will tum out a farmer, as he once hoped to be. But l fear me not. ln hoeing potatoes he would have lit- tle success, for they would be trampled under foot, and when-l say foot, l have said considerable. No, l fear that Samuel would make a better traveling man, for he could certainly cover some territory, even while standing still. When we take another look at the photograph of the Samuel of twelve years ago, or less, we cannot refrain from shedding a few tears of regret that he ever grew up. Oh, take us back to the days that used to bel To close, let us use one more of the quotations from the good book, of which Samuel is so fond: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Samuel's inheritance will not be large. IV. lvah Chambers. ISS CHAMBERS was born- yes, don't get excited! Of course, she was born, and at a perfectly definite date, which for her sake as well as our own ffor we don't know, we are not going to ex- pose. Had she not been born, how, might l ask, would she be here to- day? But without further argument, let us grant this: She was lsornl The early years of her life she has passed thru safely, even tho there was an uncle who had a ranch with all sorts of livestock over in Eastern Washington. There, perilous adven- tures among the ferocious beasts of the farm, such as the moo-cow, and the Plymouth Rock rooster, and the dappled horse, she passed safely with- out harm. Once, to have her pic- ture taken, she mounted a horse, and the horse was fully as frightened as she, poor nagl for his knees shook beneath him, and his quaking spoiled the picture, so it did not do lvah any good to risk the mounting. When we peruse the picture intent- ly-can one peruse a picture? One peruses a poem. A poem is a thing of beauty. So is this picture. Then would we not peruse this picture? Let us consult our authority, Noah Web- ster. To peruse, he informs us, is to read attentively. -Certainly then we may peruse this photograph, for we are going to attentively read its mean- ing. While perusing this photograph, perhaps memories will come back to us of similar sittings we have made. Think of all the preparation we went thru when such a great event was to take place. lt was almost as rare as a circus. We must look our best. We reluctantly submitted to the necessary scrubbing, and what a scrubbing it wasl Ears, neck fall sidesj, hair, X: P0050 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tune hands-all were rubbed and scrubbed and almost sandpaperedg but when the job was over we were clean, and tri- umphant. We were ready almost an hour before it was time to go. And what a fear of being late fur the ap- pointmentl ' And when we look at this photo, we know that lvah, too, suffered for the prize, and triumphed wlxien it was won. How proud she must have been when the 'finished prints came home, and she compared them with herself, and proudly displayed them to all he'r playmates. Good days of childhood, where have you gone? But after the picture was taken, lvah grew up. And when she was al- most grown up, she liked to go to en- tertainments, such as were held at the Oak Theater, and she and a certain curly-headed young man c-ould often be seen in the opera chairs of that house. T that time, too, she chose a hard program at high school. Coming in the morning at 8:59, she would en- ter the library, and sojourn there un- til the third period, when she would proceed down the hall to 223, where she was exposed to Panccast, along with numerous other good students. After the trying period in that class was over, Economics came -next. Lit- tle recreation could be enjoyed here, for she was blessed with a seat next to Mr. Rogers. So she went next to the lunch room for a half-hour's ses- sion. And when lunch was over, she again entered the library to stay un- til sixth period, when she would look in at the door of The Lincolnian of- fice or go out on the lawn and take a few snapshots along with c-ther busy Seniors.

But there is one diversion which lvah has never leaned very strongly toward. She has never tried to alien- ate the affections of any soldier from the girl back home. No, not at all. lvah is as constant as the day is long under the daylight saving pro- gram. She has no soldier for every day in the week. She has not been decorated with everything from a HK. P. to M. P. But we know that there can be but one future for lvah. Regardless of how teachers and friends and rela- tives may try to decide her course, she must follow her vision. She was born for one purpose, and that must be accomplished. lvah would have made a great actress. From her work in amateur productions we know that this is true. She would make a most excellent housewife. A certain young man will vouch for thim. She would make her fortune in business. But none of these courses is for her. No, these are not in her future. She will not be an actress. She will not be a housewife. She will not enter the business world. But there is something nobler, something vastly more important than any of these, and it is that course which she will follow. It is a work which few are inspired for. lt is a work of the greatest service to hu- manity. it is one of the greatest works of the future.

F l were to write this biography as l should really like it, it would cease to be a biography, but approach a panegyric. For the benefit of Fresh- men and Seniors both, for l am assured by the edi- ' tor that the word used will strike down both alike, l will explain that panegyric is another term synony- mous with encomium. Hoping you are enlight- ened by my elucidation, l hasten on, for it is grow- ing late, and-l hear the whistles blowing for I2 o'clock. To be brief, this per- sonage of whom l write is called Bill, and by those who do not like him, Will. Bill has been fortunate enough to have become acquainted with me for some length of time and l have watched with inter- est this youth develop into the superb example of American manhood which he now stands before you as. Aheml Aheml Before l continue, let me say that this Bill person is a firm believer in all forms of bribery, pastry meth- ods preferred. He lately has prom- ised the students who help make this Commencement Lincolnian better than any high school annual ever pub- lished, a feed at which pies will be the principal course. Aheml editors! Bon jourl At a tender age, the pie-tooth fshall we sayiij developed in Wil- liam. So in the photo we see the portrait of a small lad just after hav- ing dined on lemon pie. Do you won- der that his smile is expansive? Who would not grin under such circum- stances? Show me the heart that is so hard but that it would melt before the sight of the tempting pastry: show me the person with stomach so con- structed as not to have appetite for this most delicious of all desserts. William is right. We agree heartily and stomachally fexcuse our freedom of speechlj with William. AS you gaze at the well-developed boy in the picture fAhem, edi- tor, remember the pie feedlj canit your mind just conjure up his early P1052 THE LINCOLNIAN Juli' years. Without a doubt his happiest days were spent in the sunny south- ern land of the lemon groves. Else- wise, why the picture of perfect con- tentment? Perhaps this youth had just brought a hatful of the golden pie-producers into the house for the cook, marvelous wielder of of rolling pin and ladle, to magically conjure up into two cream lemon pies! just behold, in your imagination, that pic- ture. Well can we guess what has happened to the pies. And the picture must have been taken right afterward. Happy is childhood when one has nothing to think of but lemon pies. The days of William's childhood are gone. He does not live amongst the lemon trees any more, tho lemons are still present. The multitude of duties of an editor trouble his fertile brain. Ahem I There came a time when William was declared a genius. Teachers and fellow-students alike recognized this prodigy. He was wonderfully artis- tic and even the wonderful fahemj Ralph Whitney could not touch the art of William. But like many an- other genius, he threw his art to the winds. Later he took to writing, and he has not yet forgotten how to write. Again he was proclaimed to possess a gift from heaven. He developed it. Fellow students recognized it, until it was a thing granted by all. A few of the more inspired teachers took it upon themselves to instruct and mold and direct this youth. So did the parents. Their plans might have succeeded, but alasl There were two good rea- sons why they could not. Every teacher had a different vision of what William could be, and so did each member of his family. Moreover, there was William himself to be dealt with. He was not ambitious. He would have been content to find a maker of lemon pies, and his search in life he would have considered ended. But when Roman meets Roman, Latin is spoken, and a great melee ensues. So William has not his future definitely planned for. But, even if this is to be censored and cut and butchered into a Hoover- ized, conserved, factless story by the editor, we must not, in this original manuscript, leave out the failings of William. He has one which must be considered before all others, for be- cause of it, we fear lest in the future he be too happy. Aheml Wll..l..lAM has never fallen in lovel Scandalous, you may cryl Re- markable! another may exclaim. Bra- vol echoes the married professor. It is just so. Once there came into the vision of William a black-haired, white-faced girl. She was skinny and not very pretty. Needless to say William felt no inward emotion. Later a plumper young lady, a little less brunette and consequently a little more blonde- and she had blue eyes which had strangely heavenly expressions at times, he saw, but even the contrast did not change his attitude of indif- ference. All the girls in the high school, and William says he has been to Sta- dium high and found them even less desirable, have not affected his sin- gleness of heart. We fear William is hopelessly a bachelor for some time to come. NOTHER fault of William's fsome- body stop me before l lose my chances on that pie feed, but oh boyl don't l relish this opportunity to come back on himlj is his poetic tempera- ment. Anybody who has a poetic temperament ought to be shotl We have actually observed William June THE LINCOLNIAN P88253 going about with a long crop of his curly hair, a necktie such as none but a poet could select, and a fountain pen in one hand and yellow slip in the other. Some strange things the muse sometimes attacks. Thus he walks about, absent from the material affairs, forgotten even is the pie. Wil- liam would love nothing better than to sit beneath the shade of a maple tree, a lemon pie at his right hand, a pad of yellow slips at his left, and a fountain pen over his ear, and have instructions to do what he liked. It is well for the world that he cannot always have his wishes. l wish l could stop this biography right here, but the editor told me to make it lengthy. l therefore must think up something more that would make the editor feel good. Oh, yes, l have it. Some time in the future, dearest reader, William invites you to spend a few days with him at his cottage in Sleepy Hollow. He assures you that on his little farm you will find that herb called heartsease-contenb ment, if you please, and a maker of lemon pies. Well, Bill has had a glorious past, and will have a happy future, if some woman doesn't get ahead of him. Look out, Billl VI. Adeline Fossi E are confronted with a dilem- ma. We are in a quandary. We are unable to supply ad- jectives which will adequately de- scribe Adeline. Were we poetic, we might use such an expression as the fairest face that ever the sun shone on. But not quite daring to classify ourselves with the poetic numbers, for such a presumption would be as disastrous to us as to the poets, we cannot rise above our dilemma or quandary. But since we poor writers do not possess the attributes necessary, and since you know as well as we what they would be, we refrain from what might in our unskilled hands appear to be flattery. There is a certain photograph of Adeline, taken in her youth, which is as characteristic of her as could be. It shows the prodigy with her hat far back on her head, and a hatpiu stuck thru her hair for make-up: a large stack of books under one arm fthey were the little neighbor boy'sJ, and a music roll tightly clenched in the other fist. But it is not our good fortune to have that photograph for publica- tion. ln the one you see here, the infantile Adeline might be sojourning at Palm Beach, for her costume would lead one to believe so. Even before this time, Adeline had received her start in a musical life. At the tender age of two--years ago it was, but we won't say how many- she played on the Hoor with all the self-confidence of true genius. Since then her fingers have wandered over the ivory planks with increasing pow- er, and she emanates most beautiful melody. ln serving others, Adeline has not been backward. Once, in an oral pantomime, she served tea, but the tea, which was oral spilled. But, seriously, she has been of a great deal of service, for no one can play our piano just the way Adeline can. There is only one incident in Ade- line's life which she blushes over. Once she was caught by a teacher, but she was caught by two boys. Maybe you clon't understand. She was caught by a teacher-none other than Mr. Crumley. But she was caught by two Senior them, in fact. The embarrassing, to say boys-between situation was the least-for .all concerned, for, to all knowledge, the door was locked. But, even in this case, Adeline was trying to be of service, for she was separating two gentlemen who needed separation. But frivolity is as far from Adeline as money is from Al Gehri.

HEN the happy Whitney house- hold, settled in the midst of the breezy Kansas country, was blessed with the arrival of the fifth and last son, a true genius had arrived. Little did the father and mother, proud in their new heir, nor the smiling grand- parents and the aunts and uncles, to say nothing of the tour brothers who had come before, think that the lusty youngster would make the name in the world which time and his own June THE LINCOLNIAN P82255 talent has brought him. But rarely is insight and foresight in parents so keen that it can perceive the future of their child. Totally' unsuspecting of his true and inherent bigness, they brought the child up as they had the others before him. Yet they had hoped-that he would have been a girl: and tho he could not satisfy them in that particular, he did his best to satisfy the inherited fondness for the ladies. He has been trying to satisfy that desire during his whole lifetime. When the youthful Ralph first saw the little village which was to later be the metropolis, Tacoma, few years had he put behind him. A lifetime was before him, a new country was he to dwell in. But, besides the few years he left in the past in Kansas, he left a great many relatives, who for generation after generation had been tilling the Kansas soil. But other relatives had come to the West before the Whitneys. There was a cousin, dearly beloved by Ralph, who had the advantage by about three years. This cousin, like the rest of Ralph's relatives 'fby the way, would- vn't that make a fine title for a two- volume romance by Alger- Ralph's the in- did not Relatives U, did not realize born genius of the lad. He .appreciate the peculiarities which marked an artistic personality. He misunderstood the likes and dislikes of our hero. He taunted the lad who was later to be so idolized. Thus, thruout the early years wf Ralph Eugene fwhich has since been altered to Raoul Ethelbertl we find the same unappreciation and misun- derstanding which so many geniuses, myself included, have had to tolerate and endure as best they might. But the magnanimity of Ralph's character helped him to endure. He was con- stant in his ambition and purpose and ideal. Never for a moment was his goal out of his sight. He struggled on, regarding not the obstacles placed in his way by the misunderstanding of his relatives, with a vision ever be- fore him. ln his youth, Ralph Eugene had a longing for the beautiful. He loathed the boy who could not appreciate with as critical an eye as himself, the fine points of those characters in minia- ture, the dolls. He associated with companions who could share some of the feelings which moved his inner- man. On one occasion he brought his teddy-bear to school that he might share it with others who could appreciate it: but he was, as always, misunderstood. He was taunted, laughed at, scorned: and pained at the heartg something within him was sorely wounded. At any rate, he never again outwardly showed the longings and likings which he had within him. THERE is only one occasion which l. in my lifelong knowledge of him, can tell of, when he was possessed by an intemperate passion of vengeance. P88656 THE LINCOLNIAN June On this occasion, his cousin was abusing him more than even his na- ture could stand. A temper surged within him. He raised his foot, and struck the cousin over the eye. The blow felled the aggressor, but the always misunderstood Ralph was pun- ished. Out of his natural fondness for the beautiful and artistic, was born a talent for drawing. As soon as he could hold a pencil, he began sketch- ing girls. Byg the time he was twelve, he could really make a drawing of a young lady which could be distin- guished as such, even by members of his own household. By the time he was fourteen, his family was even giving him some little encouragement. lt was at about this time in Ralph Eugene's young life that a maiden entered his heart, and he was stricken as many a good man before him has been. Her name we cannot expose, for we have pledged absolute se- crecy. We can only say that she is rather blonde, with hair that is in- clined to curl in the back when suffi- ciently encouraged. But he is not very successful in love, poor Ralph! His affection is little returned, yet the youth never murmurs his inward agony and pain, but keeps radiating outward smiles. So, in associating with this youth, try to be more tolerant of his faults and more understand of his virtues, for he has them both. And always remember, he is not made like other men. P. S. SINCE the above was written, Ralph has changed his middle name to Fre- mont. He also objects that no mention is made of his spats, for which he made the stupendous outlay of one dollar and seventy-live cents, in the hope that they would be mentioned in The Lincolnian. He makes further expendi- ture fpayahle in pies, for this notice. The Fluffy, Frilly F rock By Ralph Whitney. ' Copyrighted l92Q B. C.

Sounds like the beginning of some old Colonial romance of Virginia, where every man who wears a broad- brimmed hat and a goatee and drinks mint juleps is a colonel, doesn't it? It isn't, tho.

That Hulfy, frilly, etc. fsee abovej little frock was laid in the big red cedar box-she called it her Hope Chest- just about half an hour after the train which carried big Al Fenter back up north to Camp Lewis, puffed out. lf the train had been like the Tacoma street car service, Al would never have gone-but she was not thinking about that. As she laid the Huffy, etc., dress away, two big, splashy tears went in with it, and more followed. Al was soon to go across, and he had often told her she looked best in that dress, so she was going to lay it away and save it to wear at his home-coming. With the dress and the tears there went into the chest a prayer, in a low, tear- choked whisper, for his safe return. That became a part of the daily program--a look at the dress, a caressing touch of the snowy linen, and the whispered prayer. Sometimes a few more tears were added. But did Anne fyes, that's her name, Anne Wakely. Didn't l tell you be- fore? How stupid of me to go this far without telling you her name.

THE SEA CALL As a boy, I watched the ships come in, And I watched the ships go forth: And I loved the smell of the salt sea air, And the wind, blowing fresh, from the north I envied the swaggering sailor lads And I envied the skipper more, And I longed to go, leaving home ibehind, And only the sea-before. 1 am going now, for I can't resist The call of the ocean to meg The cry of the gulls as they dip and wheel, And the swell of the tide, running free. I am going forth with the other lads, And good-bye to landlubbers all- For at last I am going the way that I must, To answer the sea's wild call.

But they say there's placid waters Where we heave the anchor over, And l reckon maybe there's a berth For this old rover. They say the waters of the hay Are purple as the sky When heavy clouds are hanging Where the sunsets die. They say the sunshine's softer V Than the twilight dew in falling, And there's stillness in the evening With the night-hawk calling.

She lived close to an army camp, Whose climate often was quite damp, And there she preyed with accuracy mathematical.

You cannot afford to miss this superb motor ride for the mere outlay of one dollar and fifty cents. Step right into the car, ladies, the chauffeur is a married man and he will make an ideal chaperon. Don't be bashful, Ladies. The gentleman speaking thru the megaphone paused for want of breath, and the chauffeur, deeply buried in his magazine detective story, was lost to the world. ls it safe? asked BD old gray- haired lady who fidgeted in her bag for her pocket-book. Yes, ma'am, returned the mouth- piece of the Blackbird Tours Compa- ny. He was a tall thin young man with a Roman nose and a wrist watch, who wore horn-rimmed glasses and parted his hair in the middle. There is absolutely no danger whatsoever. Our chauffeur is the safest driver outside of Puyallup. Yes, ma'am, he never smokes at home, and he's a married man. Yes, ma'am, a married man. Well, if he don't smoke, I guess l'll go, said the old lady, and the tall young man with the horn-rimmed glasses assisted her into the car. Under the effective electioneering of the tall young man, the black touring car was soon filled with eager tourists. ln the back seat sat an enormous lady, apparently skilled in the art of camouflage, and bedecked with jewelry of all descriptions. Be- side her sat a suspicious-looking indis- vidual with thick, grizzled whiskers and heavy smoked glasses-the type that plays a fiddle on the street cor? ner and wears a sign: Please help the blind. The chauffeur had his head bent far over his magazine, and his hair was standing almost on end. He was intensely interested in the thrilling detective story. Hey, you correspondence school sleuthl yelled the tall young man, wake up. There's a murderer beat- ing around tbhe corner. The chauffeur awoke with a start. He started the car with such a jerk that the old lady in the back seat almost fainted, and dived into her knitting bag for her camphor bottle. Ladies and Gentlemen, an- nounced the tall young man as the car slowly moved up Cliff Avenue. to the right of you stretch the in- dustrious tidefiats. When l was born, people were shooting ducks where the St. Paul mill now stands. If you go there today, you will find the lumber heavers shooting craps. Be- yond are the Todd and Foundation shipyards. Where they now operate, the Puyallup Howed when I was born. Now these great plants have forced the Puyallup to turn aside and find a new place to How. Ships must come before Puyallup. At these great plants, hundreds of high school boys are employed. The other day, Ralph Bryan. formerly of the Lincoln Theater, took his diploma into the office of the Todd plant, and today he is painting bolts. Our school system, as you can easily observe, is one of the most efficient in the country. Now we are approaching the magnificent edifice dedicated to the preparation of the youth of our coun- try-the hope of the world, Ladies P82964 THE LINCOLNIAN June ,E The Stadium High School is before you. and Gentlemen, for the trials and struggles of life. The Stadium High School is before you, Ladies and Cen- tlemen. ln this building, over one thousand of the boys and girls of Tacoma get their education. Eleva- tors are provided to uplift the Fresh- men, so you may readily guess that Tacoma is not behind the schools of the east in its education system. On the south side of the city there is another school, the Lincoln High School, if you please, which is far better than the one which you see before you. l will touch upon that later, when we come to it. To the north of this school is the Stadium, after which the school was named. Money for this great ath- letic field, the best high school ath- letic field in the world, if you please, was raised thru the direct efforts of the high school students. Sam Baker's father contributed ten dollars toward the fund, so we should take a large interest in this project. The great bowl will seat thirty-six thousand, five hundred twenty-nine people, and as the gentleman in the second seat seems to doubt this, we will stop a moment to allow that gentleman to measure the seats so as to verify this statement. We must now motor on so that the other points of interest will not f be slighted. The chauffeur drives rapidly over'this sec- tion, because his wife lives near the smelter. The car was now near- Q ing the smelter. so that the high smoltestaclc could. be seen pouring the smoke out F in a great streamer over the Sound. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now approaching the smelter. Please be qui- T et, for we must approach it gently. The smokestack is built of three million seven hundred and thirty-nine thousand, sixty-five bricks. lf the gentleman in the sec- ond seat doubts my word, we will stop a moment while he counts them, but l will wager one dollar and sev- enty-nine cents that l am correct. When the smelter is operating. the inhabitants of McKinley Hill en- joy the fragrance of the emanating perfume. So you see the smelter is a great influence in the community, and has made itself smelt by all. We are about to pass thru the gates of Point Defiance Park. This park is loaned to the Municipality of Tacoma by the United States govern- ment. Patriotic citizens are cultivat- iing several acres of it for the pota- toes which may be unearthed in the fall. lf the lady in the rear seat would like, we may stop at the pavilion and she may watch the tide come in. The tide comes in here twice a day, but it always leaves everything just as it found it when it goes out again. We cannot spend much time here, Ladies and Gentlemen, for we have still to visit Camp Lewis and Mount Tacoma fsometimes vulgarly termed 'Rainier'j. Our chauffeur will pass down Tacoma Avenue, so that you may observe the beautiful Court House of Pierce County, and the THE MOUNTAIN FROM THE CITY OF DESTINY LLEY P VA PARADISE ED NAM LY IS IT NOT TRU n J'-me THE LINCOLNIAN Pase67 magnificent library giv- en to the city by An- drew Carnegie. The Court House has an large clock in the tow- er, which keeps time with the accuracy of a Big Ben. Beneath the clock, murderers were hanged in the days of the past. The rope is still hanging, and if the lady in the back seat would like, we may stop a moment to see the scene. The library was donated by the fa- mous steel magnate. All great mag- nates are steel magnates. He never got much use from this library, how- ever, for soon after it was erected he left our city. The chauffeur will now drive as rapidly to Camp Lewis as speed laws will permit. With that, the tall young man sat down in the seat be- side the driver, and remained silent until the gates of Camp Lewis were reached. Ladies and Gentlemen, an- nounced the tall young man, rising in the front seat, we are now en- tering a military reservation. l must instruct you all to be careful, for the rifle range is exceedingly dan- gerous. We spent over two million dollars to bring this great army post into Tacoma's suburbs. But we have rea- lized on the investment. By donat- ing this land to the United States government, we have more than dou- bled the number of eligible young men.

During the last summer, more than half the boys in the Lincoln High School worked here, some earn- ing as high as five dollars a day. and more working here and getting that amount who did not earn -it. We will stop a moment for the young ladies to alight and see the camp. The chauffeur is anxious to finish his lesson in the correspondence detective school. With this, the tall young man dropped lightly to the ground, and assisted the ladies in alighting. In half an hour the party was ready to start- on the journey back toward Tacoma. The tall young man remained in the seat beside the chauf- feur and did not make any remarks until the auto had reached the out- skirts of South Tacoma. Then he rose. Ladies and Gentlemen, he an- nounced, uwe are now about to re- turn to Tacoma. We are at this moment on the outskirts of the thriving metropolis of South Tacoma. This town is the future city of the prairies. Many famous men and wom- en have been raised here, including Donald Wolford. We will pass down Fifty-Fourth Street, so that we may Pase68 THE LINCOLNIAN June Three mountaineers gazing in open-mouthed wonder. see the splendid Lincoln High School, where so many bright boys and girls go. Before we reach that splendid edifice of learning, let me tell you something about the institution. lt was founded four years ago, and at that time there were not nearly so many bright boys and girls attending. But today it is the best high school in the state outside of Fern Hill. lt has a live organization which fur- nishes jazz music at all assemblies, after which Mr. Drotning gives a how. We are now about to traverse G Street, on which the famous school stands, To the left stands the mag- nificent building. On the third Hoor is a splendid chemical laboratory, where Hydrogen Sullide is manufac- tured in large quantities at times. But we must hurry on, Ladies and Gentlemen.

June THE LINCOLNIAN P02973 NIGHT For life is like the night: man cannot pierce Its mysteries, nor Find solution for The thousand things that puzzle him of earth. And so it is with night. Both are enshroud In darkness equal dense. VAGUELY remember the stories my mother used to tell me when I was but a lad. I was fondest of the stories of fantasm: of ghosts and murders and insolvable mysteries: and I begged persistently to have some of these retold. One I still remember: it was an allegory by some forgotten author- Night : and I often in my imagination painted for myself the picture of the personified night as she sat in her throne in the vast vaulted halls of the heavens of the universe. It seems strange that I, when passing my life in prison, should recall old time-faded memories of childhood, yet I remember those years as the happiest of my life. Growing out of my fondness for stories came a longing for erudi- tion. I became an untiring reader. Boswell I devoured: De Coverley, that delightful old character of fancy, I absorbed: but Poe, the American genius, held a singular fascination over me, and I now clearly remember poring over dog-eared volumes of his tales and poems long into the night. There is something intangible in his tales which becomes more apparent at night: a stimulus of the mind and imagination unlike and stranger than any induced by spirituous liquors: a longing, too, for the solution of the mysteries which, like darkness the night, surround life. There is one of his poems-my favorite then-whcih comes back to memory now: The happiest day, the happiest hour My seared and blighted life hath known, The highest hope of pride and power I feel hath flown. I can look back from seven-and-thirty-after ten years in this living prison-and say that I have lived my life. lt is ended. I have no future-no present. All is over. WE lived in an old, rambling sort of house, which overlooked the Thames. I believe I shall always remember the house and the happy hours I spent in exploring its nooks and corners and secret hiding places-that no one ever took advantage of excepting myself- of the journeys, beset by awful unknown dangers, into that dark, mys- terious place which took the fullest courage of a small lad to venture Page 74 THE LINCOLNIAN June into, the cellar. An old house is like a good book, for it is filled with new delights and surprises with each examining into. There was a wonderful garden, formal within the square enclosed by a high brick wall, but natural and unconventional outside the wall's con- fines. How much I would give to be back under the beech trees on the bank of the Thames! Yet l have nothing now to give-even if I might have 'my wish. Gone is every hope-even life. Only memory remains. At nine a great opposing force came into my life which strove to mould me as l would not be moulded: which tried to take away my freedom, and leave me subservient to its discipline. l had always been free, so l hated school. Even when l was in college, l loathed the institution. My mother reasoned vainly with me to accept school as it was, but l did not listen. She, too, had rebelled under discipline and propriety and form. When she was seventeen she had left home with my father: but the course she mistook for freedom led to the same end -as that she had sought to escap?the intolerant propriety of society. Society had conquered her spirit in herself, at least to all appearancesg but the same spirit flowed in me. liwas foolhardy, l suppose. l loved adventure. Many escapades l hadg many battles: many trials close approaching calamities. These were all worries for my mother. and their tale was written in lines of care upon her face. The sorrows that pained me, she felt doubly increased. l was still very young when she passed-beyond. My father never meant much to me. We were never intimate. l remember him as a rather stout, red-faced individual, who never paid any great amount of attention to me, and whom l did not concern myself much about. l can remember only one conversation which I ever had with him-prior to my going to college. After mother was gone-l never thot he much cared-he paid even less attention to me, and seemed rather to overlook my existence. So l did pretty much as l pleased. Up to this time in my life, l had lived pretty much in a world of principles and ideals. There is one curious incident-rather a pic- ture, unconnected in my memory. l had gone to the classroom un- prepared to recite the lessons of the day. Even during the recitation l was reading a book which entirely absorbed my attention. John, bring me your book, the professor asked, in a voice without irritation or impatience. The man was broad-minded and tolerant: willing always to look at an issue from all viewpoints. 'The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin,' he read aloud. John, why were you reading this rather than the assigned lesson? Because l really believe it will do me more good, l replied. The old professor was silent for a few moments. Benjamin Franklin was a great man, John, a great man. If I were half as June THE. LINCOLNIAN Pase'75 great, l might keep your attention: but l cannot give you what Ben- jamin Franklin does. He spoke with the mellowness and philosophy which comes with age and clear thinking and the knowledge of human nature. He was silent for several minutes, paying no atten- tion to me. l grew rather restless and uneasy. He looked up, after some time, and asked, john, what are you going to make of your- self? I am going to be a philosopher, l said. Yes, john, l believe you will be, he said. l believe you will be, john. I WAS filled with varied desires in my youth. l suppose every man, in adolescence, has a multitude of ambitions. It is a human quality. Like all men before rne, l dreamed of a wonderful future, where everything seemed scintillating brilliance and beauty, and where noth- ing but happiness was known. Such as this is rnan's heaven. He makes, in his youth, a heaven: calls it future, and when he enters the final act of his drama, before the calamity, finds that which was once future to be but the present, too often tiresome and unattractive, and he cannot recognize it as the future of his youth. So he builds him- self another future. It is a manifestation of human quality, born in every man, to form ideals. Ideals are never reached, but only sought afterg and remain always brilliant, ever charming, before us, a guidon thru life, which is darkness. l lived pretty much in a world of ideals, l have said: but after my mother had passed, l paid more attention to the material things in existence. l looked then to the more material pleasures, not to the pleasures of the mind and spirit. l sought gay companions who shared my desire for gay pleasures, and who, like myself, were possessed of noble ancestry and wealth. l gave up scholarly pur- suits and became, prematurely, a cosmopolitan gentleman: a Bo- hemian by desire and adoption. But for all this mingling with the worldly peoples-who, seem- ingly, had no ideals, tho 1 knew they had-there lived in my nature a rebelling element which opposed acceptance of these things. The maturer philosophy which I had absorbed and defined in my former precocity, still existed, and often came the realization of the shallow- ness and emptiness of material pleasures. Often, in returning late to my apartment after a night of revelry, l was confronted with the ghost of my former philosophy, and l felt as if l had lived thru a blankg that I have lived and done unconsciously: the pleasures which an hour before had been so material became indescribably obscure and distant. l often, on these occasions, lay wakeful in bed, recalling former pleasures, which, even tho they were over,--and had not been very material or tangible at the time,-a feeling of the mind or heart, perhaps-had left me somethingg while those sensuous, worldly pleasures were, like eating and drinking, gone with the moment they P22975 THE. LINCOLNIAN June ceased fand, like time, would never returnl, and left me nothing. l formed a precept which l called the precept of pleasure. True plea- sures, passing not with the time which saw them born, live afterward in memory, and in memory give further pleasure. l passed thru mental conditions which might be described as moods. For months l would force myself to give up riotous living, and again took up my studies. l buried myself in the history of many l delved in the sciencesg l absorbed philosophy: l read re- ligion. l gradually gave more and more time to religion and less to the other studies. But to these months of scholarly study, there was a reaction. l again sought out my old companions and pursued worldly pleasures. l slept days and spent my nights in dissipation and carousal and revelry. After l had left my companions in the early morning, I would walk aimlessly thru the dark streets. l be- came thotful. The cool air cleared my brain: the darkness stimulated my imagination and the desire for knowledge-for light. All life seemed unreal to me: l felt as if l myself were unreal, that l existed only in mind: that life was a dream, sometimes ugly, sometimes beau- tiful: that nothing counted for anything: and that everything counted for nothing: all that seemed living one moment seemed non-existent the nextg and l asked, what is life? Are these things which l do, and which others do, all there is? Why de we do these things: toward what end? ls there a plan to the universe? ls there a God? ' So l sought in books knowledge which was written in no book, but must come thru the faith of the heart. The Bible l could not believe as the truth. l wondered if, after all, there was a God. Was there a beginning? l argued: lf there was a beginning, surely nothing could have existed, nothing could have been created if there was nothing to create, no creature to create it. Then there must never have been a beginning. Things must have existed for always. But how could that me? There must have been a beginning. Another question which l often attempted to solve by reason, which led only to the unreasonablfand l began to believe that these questions could not be solved by reason-was the extent of the universe. How large is the universe? It seems the question of a ehilcl. But can we answer it? There must be an end. That is the argument of a man. It is limited because there is such a narrow limit to his mind. Yet, if the universe ends, what is beyond the border? Nothing? Even nothing must end. And what after noth- ing? lf the universe is boundless-but how can it be boundless? How can it go on and on endlessly? Can one imagine anything end- less? All the questions remain unanswered. How did it start? How large is it? When will it end? Has it existed forever? How long is forever? ls it limitless in time and extent? These questions, l felt, must be answered before l could believe in God. l felt that to believe in a creator which was God would June THE LINCOLNIAN P82277 be limiting the universe. There must have been a beginning. But how could that be? It would be like saying the universe started here and stopped there. There seemed to be a plan to the universe. There were laws which governed the relation of one world to another. There was that law which physics teaches that matter cannot be created or destroyed. fl remember the old professor who taught me physics remarking that the law did not apply to religious conceptions of creators., But what has this to do with life? This: Man is born. Where does he come from? What was he before he was born? He dies. Where does he go? Does he still live? Are there bounds to his life? ls his life limitless? How large is his life? How large is the universe? After thinking much on these questions, l often felt that reason- ing was futile. All life seemed a mystery: its problems a darkness for men to grope about in, seeking light when they had not eyes to see the light. After such periods of thotfulness, confronted face to face with the vastness of the universe which man had found eyes enough to see, l was impressed with my own smallness. lt is an unpleasant feeling, for men do not like to think of themselves as small, but rather as important parts to the universe, helping to make it continue. So I wondered much and reasoned much, but arrived nowhere. The mysteries ended only in wonderment. There seemed no light to guide me thru the Night. UP to this time, l had made no friendships. When l was a boy, l remember thinking of myself as wandering about seeking for a friend. l tested all of my schoolmates and companions at college, but found not one who could measure up to my measure of a friend. l felt later that a good deal of the fault was my own. l was selfish, and where there is selfishness or personal desire, friendship cannot exist. Yet the unselfish person gets more real pleasure out of a true friends than he could possibly have thru unsellishness. When or how l first met Hortense, l do not now recall. and when l grew to know her as my best friend, l often wondered what chance had thrown us together. But chance it was. Circumstances fand who can control circumstancesill were such that we often met. l heard her sing and, for the the first time, l knew that l had fallen under the influence of love. l kept my discovery to myself, however, and breathed not one passionate word to Hortense. Xve grew to be the closest of com- panions. We shared our entertainments. We dined together often. l have never had or known of as perfect a friendship as that of Hortense and myself. Hortense had a faith which l could not share. She tried many a PaseT8 THE LINCOLNIAN -TMO time to convince me of its truth, and l wanted to believe. The beau- tiful stories of the Bible l loved, and l longed to accept them as the truth. But l was not a Christian at heart. l knew there was some truth in the scriptures, but how much, l could not tell. l read the truth only thru the figurative. Hortense and l were married. How we came to accept it, l cannot say, for no word was spoken of it. We both accepted that event as the natural consequence. Perhaps it was the will of some higher power. l could not tell. We lived for many years on the old estate on the Thames. Happy we were as man and wife ever were. But there was an end. Hor- tense was seized with a strange malady which no man of medicine could relieve. She passed beyond. How l survived, l cannot say. We lived alone in the old house, surrounded with memories. A mother-the dearest mother that ever lived-had died there: and now my wife had passed too. My dog- grown old now, and l-alone-spent over a year, doing nothing of any importance to the world. l remember the sympathy of that de- voted companion. l-le seemed to understand every mood. He had the most human face l have ever seen in a beast. But as everything passes, so did this state of affairs. There came an accusation. l was taken to the court. l cannot tell what the charge was against me. My mind was not in a state to grasp its significance. l did not care what happened to me. l remained silent. So l was thrown in prison and left to myself. That was ten years ago. l shall not be here much longer. l feel a clutching in my throat. A strange disease is growing upon me. l feel weak-incapable of action. My lungs seem choked. l cannot breathe. My heart seems slowed in its beating. And so l shall soon go. l have had ten years-eleven since she passed. l have done nothing but think-think-think. And yet l have reached no truth. , Life is over for me. l- am sinking: l go down, into eternal night. When shall there be light? Ebenezer Loved Cider By Rut THE colored population, more espe- cially the younger set, of Possum Hollow were in the utmost expecta- tion. The Pattens' new barn was just completed, and this fact was to be celebrated by a barn dance. Maggie and Esmeralda Patten, as- sisted by Ebenezer Webb, a neighbor boy, were decorating the barn. Eben- ezer stood on a high step-ladder, dec- orating the ceiling with long strings of waxen red peppers that reflected the candles' yellow lights. Ebenezeh Webb, suddenly ex- claimed Esmeranlda, stop stretchin' yo' ahms so, you goin' to go off'n dah backwahdsf' Neveh min', Miss Esmeralda. Jes' kindly han' me a cuy o' cideh: pow- ehful hot up heah on de ceilin', an- swered Ebenezer, serenely smiling down on Esmeralda. She poured out a tin cup full of cider and handed it to the long-armed Ebenezer, who greedily for it, and disposed one gulp, then sat down on step of the ladder to rest reached of it in the top awhile. Dat's fine business, scoffed Mag- gie, who did not think much of Eben- ezer. 5ittin' up dah takin' it easy. Finish stringin' up dem peppehs an' git a hump on, 'foh de crowd comes! Ebenezer smiled, but his smiles did not affect Maggie in the same manner as they did Esmeralda. Ah wuz ies' thinkin' how nice dat cideh'd look in bottles, with de can- dles behin' 'em, said Ebenezer, still sitting on the ladder, dreamily eyeing the candles. Cideh in a bottle, wid a candle behin' it, scofled Maggie, who evi- dently did not appreciate Ebenezer's artistic ideas. Too much cideh in yo' head's what's makin' yo' think o' h Hastie. sich things. Yo' goin' tu haf tu have two or three candles to see yo' way down of'f'n dat laddeh if yo' drink much moah. He's only had five cups o' cideh since he's been up dah, said Es- meralda. Only foah an' a half, interrupted Ebenezer: las' time yo' only gimme half a cup. Well, exclaimed Maggie, piling some hay in one corner and crown- ing it with some sofa-pillows made from red bandanas, ufohgit dat cideh foh a few minutes an' put yo' min' on dem red peppehsln With this harsh advice, Ebenezer began stringing red peppers again, but evidently he had employed his nose instead of his mind, for present- ly he began to sneeze in a manner that threatened to upset the ladder. One of the peppers had broken and sprinkled little white seeds on Eben- ezer's nose. Hold yo' nose, laughed Esmer- alda. Ah-Ah- gasped Ebenezer, be- tween sneezesg Ah-Ah--ain't got time. But, stimulated by a third of a cup of cider, slipped .to him by Esmeralda, Ebenezer was soon ready for work again. A loud rap was heard at the front entrance and a crowd of young peo- ple swarmed in, surrounding the lad- der where Ebenezer was perched. Mozart Handers, the old fiddler, without whose presence no entertain- ment could be a success, was seated on a keg in the middle of the plat- form, at the front of the room. Mo- zart was proud of the traditions of his family, 'which he rehearsed at ev- ery favorahle opportunity. The Han- ders did not believe in naming their P88280 THE LINCOLNIAN June children without a good cause. Mo- zart, at the age of three, had shown a considerable amount of temper if not allowed to play with his father's old fiddle, therefore he had been named Mozart. He played the same old tunes over and over, but could not moderate them according to cir- cumstances, whether it was a dance, a funeral, or a wedding. The old fiddle started and the dance started. Yo' goin' t' dance dis wid me, ain't yo', Esmeralda? asked Eben- ezer, on his way back from the cider jus- Esmeralda evaded the question. Yo' been drinkin' moh cideh, Ebenezer? she asked. Ah-no-As wuz jes' helpin' Gawge Wintehs pouh out some, re- plied Ebenezer, as they joined the other dancers. lt was nearing midnight when Es- meralda drew Maggie into a corner. Wheh's Ebenezeh? she asked, glancing hurriedly about the room. Ebenezeh? echoed Maggie, dis- gustedly, now how l gwine t' keep track o' dat niggeh? Seein' all de cideh he been drinkin', it's hahd tell- in' wheh he is. Esmeralda wrung her hands and glanced helplessly about her. Mag- gie shrugged her shoulders, never noticing the ring on the fourth finger of Esmeralda's -left hand, as she danced away with George Winters. l..as' time l seen Eb he went out de back doah t' have a smoke, called George. Esmeralda, spying large Augustus Snow lumbering in her direction, made her escape thru the back door. her hand on the Standing with large iron hasp, Esmeralda looked about her in the pale moonlight and listened. A low murmuring could be hear coming from the old barn, near by. Thinking he was talking to some one, Esmeralda listened intently, jealously, expectant of hearing Lu- cinda Graham's voice, because Lucin- da was the belle of the neighborhood. But Ebenezer's voice murmured on in a sing-song fashion. Esmeralda drew nearer and looked cautiously in thru the moonlit door- way. Ebenezer, with Esmeralda's yellow silk scarf tied securely over his head, was standing with one arm around a patient mule, decorating its ears with red peppers, and singing contentedly to himself, She had bells on heh fingehs an' rings on heh toes, an'- Ebenezeh Webb! cried Esmeral- da, leaning against the door and gazing horror-stricken at Ebenezer. 'Lo, 'Meralda, said Ebenezer, smiling foolishly at Esmeralda, who, having recovered her senses, rapidly pulled oE the ring and handed it to Ebenezer. Why, 'Meralda, now- yo' evah dah tu speak tu Ebenezeh Webb! and with turned and ran toward the house. I Ebenezer gazed at the ring, and spent an hour or so trying to get it on the mule's ear. Don' me agin, this she Dissertation Upon Love An Explanation of the Most Profound Subject By R. Ethelbert-Fremont Whitney Florence E.. Doyle. Cleveland Newton Olson Inez Elizabeth Hall Paul Kemper Wotton B. Elizabeth Galloway Samuel L. Levingston Galeda Carrier ' Donald Solomon Wolford O. Drab Enger A. Lewis Gehri Transcribed by the Stenographer. . S l take my niney-eight-cent fountain pen in hand to set down our meditations concern- ing this most complex problem of all ages, l cannot fail to feel the in- competence of my collaborators. l, in addition, even believe myself to be incapable of treating it as it should be treated. This is a subject which directs man's welfare, and it cannot be dealt with too lightly. Yet l know of no other writer who is more capable. l must speak from the viewpoint of the observer, since l have not had any personal adventures in matrimony, and my collaborators have furnished the details. l preconceive your objection when I say that I have had no experience. How can you write about love, you will ask, when you yourself say that you are nothing more than merely a bystander? To this, l might reply, Suppose you are a witness to a suicide. Who can tell about it better, you or the dead man? What is love? Gee, but l wish l knew! ex- claims one of my collaborators. l do not know what love is. Hu- man desires are so intangible that they cannot be grasped as so many dollars and cents. Some philosophers, myself among their number, have called it a disease which attacks that beating organ within the breast. And certain it is that at times this love PHF-W32 THE LINCOLNIAN June destroys the peace of mind of the afflicted one. Another calls it al hardy flower which blooms in win- ter as well as under starlit skies. But love is delicate, and if' it is a flower, it is like a tender orchid, and needs care to keep it living, else it will droop and die. Those of the School of the Aesthetic Heart, call it Everything. One phil- osopher says: is a pitfall. is the man Love Wise Who perceives it Ere he stumbles, Headlong. lnto it. When the ruler of a nation seeks conquest, and declares that a state of war exists between him and his victim, the modernist calls it madnessg but when a man hotly declares his passion for the conquest of a woman's heart, it is love. When a weak-sighted individual adorns him- self in brass jewelry, mortals point his out as a fool, but when a man plucks a prune from the tree of love, and calls her a peach, it is blind devotion. Love too often has weak eyesight. The corollaries are self- apparent. But when we come to write down in black and white just what love is, we are silenced for the lack of a good definition. l have consulted with my collaborators, and they all agree that love is an undefinable sensation of the heart. lt also has considerable of an influence over the pocket-book. There are, however, certain in- dications of this abstract substance which cannot be weighed or mea- sured, confined or encompassed, and by these indications we are aware of its presence. At least, Donald Wol- A Case Under Ethelbert's Law. ford tells us this is so. So love is like a current of electricity: tho we cannot see' it, we know it is present by the results it brings. So we may form our law, which, let us say, is Ethelbert's law: Love is recognized by its effect on the stricken subject. Some of our dear readers will be interested to find out how they may know if they fall in love. It is especially desirable for beginners to know the secret, Beatrice tells us. First, there are two divisions of love: your own and somebody else's. Of the first, there is only one kind, true devotion. Somebody else's love may be either puppy love or madness. You observe another person's love thru the unconscious actions and re- actions which the spark within ig- nites into flame. The young man who escorts the same young lady to the movies every Sunday afternoon is living in a blissful, ethereal dream from which we should not awaken him. At least, Mr. Wotton tells us this is so. The scholarly-looking gen- June THE LINCOLNIAN P88283 -tleman with his hair parted in the middle and the horn-rimmed glasses and bow tie and changeable com- plexion flike the chameleonj, flush- ing now and then with a pinkness which ebbs and flows like the tide, who holds a pretty damsel's hand be- neath the table, Alfred Lewis tells us, is happier than his uneasiness would seem to indicate, and far high- er in the realms of the above than he who is not infused with such a celestial blessing. The youth who, before all but one of the maidens of his acquaintance, bears an air of bravado and princely independence, and is the life of the conversation, but who, before that one, is speech- less, inactive and uncomfortable, is possessed of noble, unselfish passions which are the younger brother to love. V And, like the men, the gentler sex display their interests and inner- most feelings. The young lady who is the life of the company when a certain young man is not present, becomes permeated with a great in- ner-longing which transforms her pret- ty face into a picture of mournful wistfulness, O. D. Enger says. She lies in bed daytimes, reading love stories, and tho the tales are written with power and beauty, she sees, instead of the print, the face of him who is always before her eyes. You will know, warns lnez F. Hall, when love comes to you, by the whole-souled longing for something which you have not. You will feel small, Miss Galloway says, ignoble, selfish, totally without virtue. You will want to gain all the opposite qualities. You will awake to a con- sciousness of surroundings, at times, says Cleveland Newton Olson, to find yourself gazing fondly at the object of your affections. You will try to be near-always. You will long for an Eden barred to all but two, Samuel l... l..evingston assures me. You will become a lover of sunny days and nights, Florence Doyle devotee of all amusements enjoyed by the second party: a tire- moonlit saysg a less dancer: an ardent walker: an in- defatigable talker, adds Ethelbert. You will live for a few brief hours in each twenty-four, and dream of those in the rest. You will now want to know how you may attain the object of your desires. You will want the answer to the eternal question. This is the question which has troubled man and woman since the first couple started -housekeeping in'Eden. Wonder it is that you should askl It is not difficult for me to answer your queries, for with the demon- stration of today, little is left to me for explanation. Love depends a great deal on the external appear- ance of the individual, and it fol- laws that, to be successful in love, one must possess the finery and fashion which attract love. Observe on the crowded streets- on Saturday night the many men in uni- form, and all have been successful in love. How have they obtained the object of their desires? They have no over-supply of the currency of the United States of America. They are not all burdened with handsome faces nor graceful bearing. But each has a suit of the latest style and the most popular cut. Observe, also, that the objects of these men's attentions are dressed in the latest of styles, and that their plumage is as fine as any on the avenue. So it is apparent that the most necessary thing in making a success of love, is the fashionable clothes. Gain these, and you gain the heart. WESTWARD By F. A. Allen. The summer sun is sinking ln the glittering, golden bay, And ,my thots are wandering, drifting Toward the sunsets of Cathay. Magic lands that we imagine, Lands of fancy, not of earth, Where the human hate is softened And a brother-love finds birth. Such a fancy-land I picture ln the far-off, old Cathay, And l long to pull up anchor And steer westward-far away.

Editorial Commencement A FAREWELL EDITORIAL TREATISE on Commencement is in order. To follow prece- dents in force since school magazines were first invented, we must discourse on the true meaning of graduation. We must figuratively picture the Senior class as launching the good ship, captioned Career, on a stormy sea, captioned Life, To use the words of a predecessor who spoke from the editorial chair, The time has come for us to lay aside our books and go out into the world. To strictly conform with those who have gone before, and to avoid disappointing our readers, we would be obliged to preach a little sermon about going out into the world, leaving the associations of four years behind, forgetting schoolmates and in turn being forgotten, going alone, as an individual, to work out a future. We should rise to the occasion with a ranting, in flowery, figurative rhetoric, impressing as strongly on the mind of our reader what four years in an English class has done to our Howing pen, but having little effect as to thot. We would dwell long on the idea: You are going out into the world to do what damage you can: you must start right away to be great and famousg but even if you are never great, you must always hold before your eyes the ideals you formed in your high school days. But after having perused no less than a half dozen editorials in Commencement issues of high school journals, in an endeavor to be inspired, we are not so greatly impressed with the solemnity of the event as writers of those pieces of literature would have us believe. We cannot believe that graduating is so sobering as having the minister call, or getting married, or a summons to court. ' e As for it's being time to lay aside our books and go out into the world, we again disagree. The time has never come to lay aside books, for books are man's greatest friends. The education has not ceased for those Seniors who shall not attend college, tho their school has. Schooling may end, but knowledge and wisdom, in short, education, never is finished. YOU have read, or seen pictured, the allegory of the youth who went out into the world, diploma in hand, to seek the employ- ment which should be the stepping stone to a future of fame-a P88286 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tune place in the sun. We can hardly agree that the case is a parallel to graduation. A few years from now, few of us will remember the sensations we had on being handed a roll of parchment which says in effect, if not in words: We have done our worst for you and we are thru. When we look back over those days we now live in, we will have a sense of amusement at the feelings which we now regard with such seriousness. We will find that this graduation- this Commencement-is not just a going out into the world, for we are already there. We will not, on the day after Commence- ment, seek the job which shall be on the path to success, for we have already held jobs, and lost them: we have already faced some of the 'tasks and problems and hardships of life, and at Commence- ment these problems shall not be all lined up facing usg for the problems come one by one, and as long as life remains, we shall not have faced all. Now comes the sermon, and those who will listen, continue, and those who will not, pass on. COMMENCEMENT is not a beginning or an end. We have not just begun life, for we have already been living for some time. We are not ending our education, for education is not ended until life itself is done. We do not face the world for the first time, for we have faced it for some time. Commencement, which seems so important now, will be remembered hardly more than other natural events. Commencement is but a transition, from high school to- what? And after Commencement is over, we shall go about our various tasks. Some of our friends whom we met in high school shall never be seen again. lntimacies will die out and new ones come with new associations. Nothing in life is permanent, it seems. Other- wise there would be no progress, for progress is but change. And to give a parting word: think of the future when you look back over your high school days. In that day of remembrance when today's future will be tomorrow's past, resolve now that there will be no regrets for what might have been. Then-goodbye! JUHS THE LINCOLNIAN P88237 THANK YOU ITH the abdication of the editor's chair to a new gentleman, we must, if ever, ofifer acknowledgments for service and assistance given The Lincolnian during the year. Coming to the aid of the Advertising Man- ager, we wish to thank the advertisers before all others for their patronage. We have sorely troubled many a busi- ness man for time and money, and both, our advertisers have given glad- ly. We can express our gratitude best in a simple Thank You. Our subscribers we wish to thank for tolerance and for the money they sacrificed in order to come into pos- session of this journal. We acknowl- edge their right as the first right. lt is for the subscribers above all that this magazine is published. After all is said, the staff remains servant to the subscribers. The contributors-we salute youl We wish to thank all who have con- tributed, whether their work was published or not. All have done their share in making a good magazine, and those who had their work ac- cepted have been in part repaid, but those who have submitted material and not succeeded, we especially wish to thank: and we offer a sincere hope that they may yet take a place in these pages. The Staff of Nineteen-Eighteen and Nineteen we must thank for the great assistance they have given in getting out these last three issues of the year. Both in business and editorial depart- ments they have aided materially, and tho they were in training for future service, they did their work with a genuineness of purpose. Thru co-op- eration, and the recognizing that school spirit must come before class spirit, they 'did their part well. We wish also to acknowledge that all you like about The Lincolnian is to the credit of the contributors: and all you do not like is the fault of the editors. Editors can stand the blame, for they in turn can blame the print- ers and engravers. So at last we come to the printer and engraver. And these we will thank in part by pecuniary remuner- ation. iii- THE RESULTS OF THE WAR Our Last War Editorial. E do not claim to be a war expert, tho we might easily be- come one faccording to sev- eral advertisementsj by purchasing the latest book on war facts. We cannot prophesy when it will end, or how. All we attempt to do is to make certain observations, not scien- tifically military, of the effects which the war has already brought: and our conclusions on what the later effects will be. The war has already accomplished a great many improvements, many of which are now visible to all, but many more which we shall not know of for years. Some of these, speakers from the public platform have dis- cussed. Others have been written up in the newspapers. The majority have not been touched on, and it is beyond our insight to do that. From our chief executive has come the observation that this war has bound the people of the United States closer together. Clearly this is so. Yesterday, before war broke out, we were wrangling over questions con- Page-93 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tune cerning the neutrality problem: after the war came, we at first disagreed over the draft and the conscription of wealth and everything else. Today as a nation we accept and believe 'in the measures which the administra- tion has taken. We have come to think more nearly alike, and to act with a common American Patriotism. The war has, moreover, bound us more closely to other nations. We have taken our stand side by side with Belgium, France, England, ltaly, and our other allies. For the first time we realize what common inter- ests, common thots, and common ideals we all have, whether we be Americans or Swedes, japanese or Germans. All have so many things in common that it seems almost un- necessary to figh.t After freedom comes, we may expect to see the Cer- man people bound to us as the Allies are today. It will be another step toward the Brotherhood of Man. Progress, which some of us call civilization, and some socialism, is gradually coming. Never before was it so necesesary to consider all the people as it is today. We cannot have a true democracy of the world until we have an equality of oppor- tunity and education, and equal right to the resources which no man cre- ates. We see the advance of the true socialism in the increased mem- bership of the unions: in the greater consideration given the laboring man. We see it in the affairs of state. The railroads have been seized. The same thing has taken place in England. Germany long ago took such steps, and others, and when the German people come into power, they too will be nearer the socialization of their country. After the war, will the rail- roads again pass under the operation of their former controllers, capital- ists? We think and hope not. The men now working under Uncle Sam would hate to have to answer to capi- talistic bosses. Other evidences of this increased socialization are in the control of prices, and tho the mea- sures which were adopted are war measures, it is probtble that their benefits will be just as desirable after the war. The last we will mention of the socializing influence, is that in the draft army. This has been one of the greatest forces in making men of all classes realize that under our laws, each man, regardless of wealth or power, inheritance or station, has equal rights. The Americans are growing more industrious because of this war. One can notice the increased activity in every line of work. Each worker works longer, more intensely, more these same other work seriously. ln spare time, men and women take up which will help them and their coun- try. Every one is rushed with almost more than it is possible to do. lt is certain that this will leave a good result on the American people, who have often been too leisurely. We are becoming less wasteful. Thru the absolute necessity of thrift in money, labor, resources, and pro- duce, we are consuming less waste- fully, and consequently more effi- ciently. We are learning thru bond and stamp campaigns to save money. Industrial necessity has demanded the daylight saving system, and many other plans. The lumber and the products dug from the earth must be conserved, and to do this, govern- ment control has been established. The wasting of food is almost elim- inated thru food conservation mea- sures, and a national semi-dry law has been passed. All these play a great part in the program of saving. ln the schools, a better citizenship is taught. The students regard their June THE LlNCOLNlAN PHZQS9 studies more seriously, and are en- couraged to continue their education as long as their circumstances will permit.. Education is recognized as the necessity of the future, after the war. This is only another war effect. The men in the trenches-what will be the effect on them? At first the horribleness of war will manifest itself, but later, as the wounded gradually learn to care and do for themselves, a broadening of character and knowledge can be seen in the soldiers of democracy. Many shall be the leaders in the days of peace. Be- cause of their coming face to face with the truth about strife, these men will be better able to plan against it in the future. After the war, what shall the re- sult be? 1 lt shall-be a more democratic, more socialistic, more brotherly, industri- ous, and thrifty peoples, in the Americas, in Europe, and elsewhere. Men will realize that competition be- tween nations leads to the same result as competition in business, and that in the end, the only solution is an agreement between all parties to play square. Thus socialism, tho not the socialism of politics, must come into operation. The war is bringing this. After this war for democracy and socialism, the world will be a better place be- cause of this strife. Good is comingl WHEN YOU RETURN E who are graduating, leaving the Lincoln High School, are not severing all relations with our school. Tho we are no longer to attend classes here, we will often remember our days spent here, and we will want to revisit the old school again and again. lf we are in the but our city, we often shall come back, if we are in other communities, visits must be less frequent, but the dearer because of it. Perhaps, many years from now, some members of the class will come back again, with their schoolday as- sociations broadened into a more last- ing companionship of matrimony. We are only speculating now, we warn you: but these meditations are found- en on several early romances nour- ished in the various classrooms and halls. You all know who the couples are. They will stand in the hall on the Hoor, before the picture of the class, and pick out the members whom they have seen lately. They will specu- late as to what has happened to the rest. There will be a few whom they will be especially interested in. Memories will return as they look at that, group 4, of old photos-per- haps then faded with the sunshine of many years. The old classmates, standing together before the record of what they used to be, will think few not far off. They will remember the last class banquet, the other parties, the exercises on the last night, and the back over the years of the last days, when Commencement was dancing in the gym afterward. They will be pleasant memories. These days will be appreciated far more after they are farther away. the dis- And the visitors will go into auditorium after the school is missed, to get another look at the vast room where so many periods were spent at assemblies, and more in study, perhapsf One or the other will sit down at the piano and play over some old tune that fused to be played-maybe the class song: and P81090 THE LINCOLNIAN June the harmony will bring fresh ories-how the students used to gath- years Ihefll' er around that same old piano before, and sing. Memories will come of the rehearsals held in the torium, but always there was the audi- charm of music in the hall, as if the vastness of the room lent a particular quality. And the visitors will not fail to revisit that old meeting place-The Lincolnian ofhce. lt had never seemed like the property of The Lincolnian alone. lt was a sort of universally- occupied room where every one might have the right to stay during a vacant period, or hold rehearsals at noon or after school. It was a sort of meeting place. Perhaps the married couples returning will re- member hours of mutual devotion in The Lincolnian office. These were happenings the staff could not prevent. Even those un- sentimental beings who published the paper, and told you, unkindly, to get out when you disturbed their work, really realized that the office was not theirs alone. And they will walk up and down the second floor--looking into the rooms they used to sit in-the room where they had advertising, English, history, algebra, oral expression. How Miss Clift used to drill those amend- ments into a fellowl Mr. Orr talked so fast! Miss Dodd and all her talk about vital centers. They will not be forgotten. The library will not be forgotten. ln that most sacred of rooms were many hours, otherwise boresome, spent. Students were supposed to study there, but how far from study were some of the students' sojourn- ing there. And the memory books signed in that room! l-lordes there would be if each should return to stare the visitor in the face. There was that quotation of Everett Wadsworth in all of them: May there be just enough clouds in your life to cause a glorious sunset. But we have not the space to tell about all the things you will do- when you come back many years from now. Perhaps the war shall end before then. Maybe you shall not ,return until you have made your success, or married, or at least taken a big step into the future. But per- haps you shall retum next fall, try- ing to add more memories to the pre- cious ones cannot tell already treasured. We all the memories which shall return to you. But some day, you will come back, and you will feel that each day spent in Lincoln High was worth twice what you had to pay for it. --F. A. IS YOUR EDUCATION FINISHED? NOW that you are out of high school, Seniors, is your educa- tion finished? Have you laid aside your books with the belief that are fully prepared for the world, and will need the books no longer? Or are you going to continue your edu- four you cation? If you are not, the years spent in high school have been wasted-a four years' loaf. If you are. your time has been well spent. We are not all able to get a further schooling in a college or university. Some will enter the service. But tho our schooling is over, we may all have a higher education. For those 'who have the opportunity, entering college is the best thing to do. But June THE LINCOLNIAN P58091 a large per cent of the graduates will never attend any other school than the one they have just finished. Their schooling is over. Not so their education. After the ship is launched-and you might consider yourselves launched ships-a great deal .remains yet to be done before she can sail. She has to have the engines installed, and all the other finishing touches added. A graduate of a high school may be Fitted out at a training school or college. But there the simile ends. The graduate may lit himself out, without going to college. He may educate himself. lt is certain that the men who prize their education the most, and who realize the most from it, are those who have got it thru their own efforts. The self-educated man is the most successful, for he has found the true value' of education. There are many examples in history- from Benjamin Franklin and Abra- ham Lincoln on. Tho unable to get more schooling, they were deter- mined to get a broader education. The result you know. So tho you cannot continue in the university, do not drop all hopes of having a higher education. Your opportunity is greater, if you grasp it, than that of the student who at- tends a college. Resolve that you shall continue your education, and that your education shall never be finished. When you do this, you shall have taken the right road. OUR ADVISORS TO leave the school without saying a few words in appreciation of the help which two members of the facul- ty have given to us in the past year would be inexcusable. Tho these men have not had their names in this magazine from month to month, they have worked as hard for the success ,of The Lincolnian as any member of the staff. They encouraged the sep- aration from The Tahoma last fall, and it was mainly due to their efforts and their optimism over the outlook that The Lincolnian came into ex- istence. They have aided the staff in every way during the past year with a spirit of advice and instruc- tions, and number them the members of the staff have gained more than in the classroom. Besides their work for The Lin- colnian, these two men are also ad- visors for our rival paper, The Ta- homa, and have helped that paper as much as our own. We cannot help but admire the spirit of these two men, who, tho it meant a double amount of extra work for them, gladly gave their time and helped us get started In this first year. And we wish, before leaving, to correct the opinion of some that these men are censors of what ap- pears in the school magazine. In the whole year, not one thing has been left out which the editors did not heartily agree was unfit, and in these cases, only because of the inferiority of the material. The work of the advisors has been to keep the stan- dard of the magazine as high as pos- sible, rather than to curtail or limit the staff. We are thankful that we have had such advisors during our term of office. So to Mr. Sperlin, our editorial advisor, and to Mr. Edwards, our business advisor, we offer acknowl- edgment for their service, and our heartfelt thanks. My Friend is one before whom I may beusincere. Before him I may think aloud.

L . 5 JE iw-fiif ' ' fi OUR SCHOOL History of the Lincoln High School P to nineteen-fourteen, the students graduating from the schools in the south side did not attend high school in as great numbers as should be desired, for they must either attend the Barlow Annex, which was only for Freshmen, or go the long distance to Stadium. When the new Lincoln High School opened its doors on the last day of August, nineteen-fourteen, there were almost one thousand students in all the classes, but the Fresh- men were in the largest numbers. The last of the students who entered in that year are graduating now. Of the some four hundred that entered, only about one- fourth remained until graduation. ln the athletics in the first year Lincoln had fine turnouts, and tho the team was not victorious in the one football game with Sta- dium, the Lincoln boys brought home the bacon in basket-ball, wrestling, and baseball. Class games, too, had more attention than today. . . One of the greatest accomplishments in the first year was the starting of the music department by Mr. Ball. ln that first year this big little man gave two fine concerts and the opera he had written himself, Cinderella, to raise the money to buy our concert grand piano. The students today still have Mr. Ball and his department to thank for that piano. Early in the second semester Mr. Ball put on another opera, and one of the most- successful ever, Queen Esther. ln the dramatic field, the school was ably led by Miss Ruby Fer- guson. Under her coaching, some of the best student programs we have ever had were staged at assemblies, and as the crowning effort of the year in dramatics came the club performance of Miss Civil- ization, and the class play, Mice and Men. In debate, too, Lincoln started out well, and some lively matches were given -between the two schools as well as in the State League. The second year the atheltic spirit was not so strong, but in foot- ball Lincoln showed up well, tho she did not win the champion- ship. In other athletics she took her share of the championships. Class activities and the musical and dramatic work lacked the same snap which the sports lacked, but which had been so notice- Pase96 THE' June able in the first year. A fine production of Sherwood, given under the auspices of the Senior Class, was directed by Miss Docia Dodd. s - - The third year was notable chiefly for one great month of the greatest activity, when money was being raised for the Lincoln statue. We can hardly believe that 'we shall ever have such a cam- paign again. Most of those students now at Lincoln remember the pie and cake and candy and hot-dog sales which added to the necessary sum., There were entertainments, dances, fairs, shows, and everything else imaginable. , So finally with the ,aid of the other schools in the city, the fund was complete, .and as a result we now have the statue. i In this fourth year which is just closing, the ,notable achievements are the establishment of The Liricolnian and the helping in war work. ' ' ' Of these you know as well asimyself, and allil need to say is that tho the other activities have seemed less 'important this year, Lincoln 'may be proud of her record. We know that it shall always be as fine. - H- - THE STATUE AROUND THE SCHOOL Page THE LINCOLNIAN June ELLIS H. ROGERS Vice Principal W. W. PARKER Principal Commencement Message OMMENCEMENT is a time for congratulations. If life is a voyage, then graduation is the Launching oi the Ship. To the Graduates the Principal offers his congratulations as your good ship slides gently down the ways to take the plunge into the arms of the great mother ocean. Sound the bugle, let the bands play and the flags and streamers flutter in the breeze. To the Freshmen he offers congratulations on a well-laid keel, and to ,the others on various stages of progress. Launching day is a time of rejoicing, but it is also a time for some anxiety on the part of owners and builders. I-low is she going to ride the waves? ls she well balanced? ls there a list to starboard or to port? We cannot answer safely too soon. Even the wisest seaman can only predict at the time of launching. Though they wag their weather- wise heads never so sagely, time only can tell the outcome of the voyage. , Twelve long years from baby-grades to graduation seems a long time to build before the final launching, but the best ships take the longest in building. The great question now is, Are you ready for the voyage? SOME years ago l stood on the deck of a Government tug in the harbor at Seattle and saw the great battleship Nebraska slip from the ways into the calm waters of the sound, amid the shouts of the multitudes on decks and on shore, and heard the music of the bands mingled with the screech of every whistle, in the harbor. lt was an impressive moment, and l shall never forget. More impressive still to me were the quiet moments a half-hour later when l saw her towed away, a helpless hull, to the docks of the Moran Brothers' shipyard, to undergo the months-long process of PNN100 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tune receiving her installation of boilers and engines. It came over me with tremendous force that a newly-launched ship, though a creature of beauty, of poise, and of promise, is as helpless as an eggshell on the waves until she has been en- dowed with power. Some ships, not the greatest ones, are launched fully equipped to go forward under their own steam. For these there is no further delay. They go steaming off merrily, kicking up the spray, doing well the work for which they were fitted. These men speak of as the mosquito fleet. But the big ships, those destined to carry the armies of the world or the cargoes of the nations on their bosoms, tie up to some good shipyard and take on the ponderous equip- ment that perfects their power. - HAVE you chosen your College? Never before has the need of men 'of brains, of training, of preparedness, of Patriotism, been so keen as now.- Never have the oppor- tunities for making one's way 'in College been so ample. Never has the need for College-trained women been so great. President Wilson urges the young men and the young women of the country, as a matter of Patriotism, to stick to the schools and the Colleges. Avoid the temptation of the job and the allurements of high wages, except as they may serve as a means to perfected education. The highest possible degree of prparation for the great oppor- tunities for service, to self, to community, and to Nation. leads to true Patriotism in this hour of the world's great need. V W. W. PARKER. SOME FACULTY PROFESSORS Ye Are the Hope of the World HAT an inspiration! The Hope of the World. A sublime conception. You, do you, can you, grasp it? You must. You must be the hope of the world or all is dark. Worse than thatf It is despair. The burden is on you. You must lift up the world. You must carry it forward. You must not falter. You must bear it aloft- upward and onward. The task is iinposed upon you be- cause it must be. It cannot be otherwise. It has been ever thus. From the time when the Man and the Woman of the Garden committed unto their children the task of carrying on, it has been so. The things we enjoy today are ours in trust only. We must transmit them to those who are to come. We must transmit them undiminished, unimpaired. Aye, we 'must pass them forward withiincreased luster, with larger beauty, with finer polish for the touch we have given them. It is thus that the world grows richer-that civiliza- tion broadens, that culture deepens, that ideals are lifted up. YE are the Hope of the World-Ye are the crest of the foremost wave of the Hood of life. lt is yours to lead the stream forward, to give, direction to its course, to straighten its eddies, to clear the drifts, to avoid stagnation, for stagnation would mean death. Ye are the Hope of the world. Ye are the reserve team in the relay race of life. lt is yours to clasp hands with the arriving generation and to take into your arms the things it has brought forward to you. It is yours to carry these things on to those who in their turn will be waiting to receive them from you. You must improve, reconstruct, brighten, enrich as you go. You must not fail. It is a straight-away. No link can be omitted. The course is continuous. It must go on forever. The shield of honor, the sword of justice, the badge of purity, the emblem of truth, the Hag of liberty, of equality, of hu- manity-these are yours to carry on, carry on, for ye are the Hope of the world. This is the meaning of life. This is the meaning of education. It is the meaning of Com- mencement. . ELLIS H. ROGERS. LINCOLNITES School Days T seems probable that many of us have not stopped long to realize how much school has meant to us in a social way, but as the end of their course approaches, the Sen iors come to think more and more of what they are passing away from. School Days for them will soon be gone, except in memory, and only a few will enter their college days. After high school is behind them, they will time and again think back over the days spent there, and they will laugh at their scrapes and pranks, and smile over their love affairs. The graduates will remember the first day of school, and they will think of the confusion, and the restlessness, and the bustling of the teachers. They will recall how the yellow slips were passed for each student's program. Those who were in a certain professor's class will remember' his beginning instruction: Push your work, and don't let your work push you! Some of the teachers assigned lessons, but such teachers could not be regarded seriously. Then there came the week of settling clown, until pro- grams were arranged, books given out, and assignments made. After that the school life seemed to pass into a state of sameness from day to day, yet each day pleasant in itself and forgotten on the morrow. It is only the School Days that will be remembered- those days when the ordinary was laid aside and a new course of things substituted. You will remember how re- freshing it seemed to forget classes for a day and direct the attention to some other thing. You will remember the parade day, when the whole school went swinging down the street to meet Secretary lVlcAdoo. Perhaps you will recall how, after the parade had broken up, you went into an ice cream parlor with some of your chums, and how late you were in getting home. There were the assembly days, when a speaker who had Page106 THE LINCOLNIAN -111110 lots to say came on our platform and talked to great length. Those, too, must be recalled as School Days. The day before the Christmas vacation was just such a day, and a day that will be remembered. Little work could be accomplished, because of the feeling of expectation. There were the Christmas songs, chanted in the halls, and later, the program. That, too, was a good day for Lincoln High. You will remember each evening of the performance of the Chimes of Normandy and Jeanne D'Arc, and how every one connected with the performance was skipping classes for the last-minute things which had to be done. So school has come and passed. Little will be remem- bered but the School Days, and last of them all, Com-' mencement. So carry away with you a pleasant memory of your only School Days, in Lincoln High. 3 1 1 1 MORE LINCOLNITES Every person has two educa- tions --- one which he receives from others, and one, more im- portant, which he gives him- self. --- Gibbon r ffm! fl N , X 1 ff Qin X 4 W KF LAss SECTON R w , fi 'gagrlfszkx ' 9 90, Mx .V , A A X 5 , , , .- ,fx ff-wy'u.m. 1 , fy 'I ffjlxksx 1' I, 1 36 .N NX V jf' 'Simi , 'e ' 5,3413 ,Vufg 1?34 i:fi'f,'? , ' ' ff.. v'-N.

All that willggbe left will be the record of 'four years-part writ- ten dowii in memory books--more unwritten, but existing' in the mind as memories, perhaps more dear because unwritten. The Class of 1918, which entered Lincoln High School when theibuilding first opened, was large, but in four years all except about one-fourth have dropped out. New students from other high schools have entered to take their places, and the whole group, whether starting at Lincoln or not, is a class inseparable in associ- ation. ' During the first year the students belonging to the Class of 1918 showed up prominently in athletics, for that was the only activity in which they could be prominent. The class team, tho inexperi- enced, easily won over the Sophomores, and came nearer beating the invincible juniors than any other class team had. Several of the Class made the first team in football. ln the second year, the Sophomores-Class of 1918-were vic- torious fin football, basket-ball and baseball. No other team could win against the teams. - . By the junior year, the class spirit had died out of athetlics, and the Class had become interested in other activities. The organiza- tion as the Class of 1918 brought this. Halloween party was held, and after that came Aothers. The Juniors were very active in the raising of funds for the Lincoln Statue, and the Class -fostered an entertainment which raised over three hundred dollars. The first week of the term which made the members of the Class of 1918 Seniors found activities already started. Aqmeeting was held the first week for the purpose of starting the separate school 1magazine which Lincoln was entitled to. The result was the election of a staff by the Seniors and Juniors, and this maga- zine, The Lincolnian, which we feel is really the greatest gift of the Class of I9I8 tothe high school. Other activites of the Class may be forgotten, but the school magazine, now that it is firmly estab- lished, will not be allowed to ,suspend publication. The Class of 1918 will leave the school with a feeling that, much as the school has given to the members of the Class as indi- viduals, still they have given something to the school which is of lasting worth.' C MISS LIDDELL Head Advisor for the Senior Class An Appreciation EFORE finally leaving the School this Commencement, it is only fitting that we should in some way express our appreciation for our Senior Advisor. We do not think that Miss Liddell has done more for our class than any one else, we know it. Altho many of the faculty have helped us in many ways, there has been no one who so steadily and unselfishly worked for our interests. Those students who have been fortunate enough to come into intimate contact with Miss Liddell in classes or in roll room, will he able to appreciate her more than those who have a mere superficial acquaintance. They will know better than others of her high character. Rarely have we met any persons with as high a charac- ter as that of Miss Liddell. Totally unselfish: always 'willing to do what she cang unfailing in duty, whether pleasant or the oppositeg without the slightest partiality, and incapable of holding a grudge against any one: and, best of all. a true patriot, she cannot be valued too highly as a friend and teacher. in Perhaps the best work which Miss Liddell has done is in showing students how to help our Government, and inspiring them with a more burning patriotism. Those lucky students who have been in her roll room can tell you how this teacher has pointed out to them their duty in a clearer .and truer, tho perhaps less sugar-coated, light. Inadequate this effort surely is, but we know that many students will recognize the value their contact with Miss Liddell has been to them in strengthening their characters, and will many times in later years thank her for her help.

P19145 THE LINCOLNIAN -711110 Class Poem Soldiers of the Future Today, of all days, the soldiers of peace Ride forth into times of strifeg The fields are redclened, the senses deadened, As the mad hordes wield the knife. - Thru the streets there sounds the bugle's call And the soldiers of war obeyg And they march along, an impatient throng, But the soldiers of peace must stay. The soldiers of war, bearing freedom's flag, Must conquer the foe in the field: While the war drums rattle they bravely battle And bravely their sabers wield: For they struggle because of a love in their hearts For the ones who are left unharmed, And they Fight with the steel, for they strongest feel The might of the brutes well armed. JDM THE LINCOLNIAN PBB0149 But the soldiers of peace have a greater iight And no bugle shall muster them in: And with no drums rolling, and no bells tolling, They hear only echoing din. And under no flag but belief in the right, And under no pennons gay, They Fight without praise, for the unnumbered days That follow the strife of today. And theirs is no Fight that is done in a year, When the swords are all laid asideg Theirs is unended until they have mended Peace for men far and wide. Theirs is the task of rebuilding the world Out of the chaos that's hereg Such is their work, and he who shall shirk Like a snowflake shall disappear. Today, yes this day, the soldiers of peace Ride forth into times of strife, They are not fearing-keep up the cheering, Wish them a lengthy life. Ride bravely, ride swiftly, ride onward, my lads, The road lies before you-still on- Malce true your dream,-follow the gleam, Lest while you falter 'tis gone. DIGNIFIED SENIORS Prophecy of Class of 1918 THE following is a story ,which is to appear in the one-hundredth volume of the Commencement Lincolnian, in the year 2018. The writer will not be born yet for about eighty-five years, and tho we do know that his last name is Cehri, we cannot imagine what will be his heritage in the way of a first. ' I-IE. school year was drawing to a close, and the preparations for Commencement were absorbing the interests of every Senior. The Class of 20l8 was about to pass out of Lincoln High School as over a hundred classes had gone before. The dreary task of writing the class prophecy had been assigned to unfortunate me. I racked my mind in vain efforts to think of some scheme which would be new-which would result in a prophecy different from any ever written before. I carried on a long, weary research thru the files of old high school magazines. A hundred years of Lin- colnians I looked thru-and twenty years of Tahomas before that. I read pages now only a memory-the history of our own school written as. it occurred. But thru the whole file there was only one prophecy which gave promise of anything new. In it a strange word caught my eye- Ouija l I had never heard the word before, but now, as I read the prophecy over, I conceived that the word represented some sort of a contrivance which aided in communication with the supernatural. I asked all my friends about it, but none knew. I searched thru encyclopedias, and at last found a description of the instrument in an ancient volume. The mysterious mechanical device which the world had scoffed at then, now was to do me great service. I took the description of the Ouija instrument and the en- graving which accompanied it, to the head of our wood-working department, and I had a copy of the instrument made. The evening after the queer instrument of a hundred years ago was Finished, I took it to the home of Professor Malone-the head of our science department. The old professor, now advanced in years, had attended the Lincoln High School, and his father, Walter Malone, had graduated from our same school nearly one hundred years before the present day. P80152 THE. LINCOLNIAN June Professor, I want to try an experiment in the supernatural, and I want your help, I said to him. Together we sat before the fire and manipulated the strange instrument known as the Ouija. The first question I asked was the one which was foremost in my mind: What will become of us all in fifty years? We placed our hands on the little board, and it slowly spelled out: I cannot tell. l can only speak of the past. Who are you? l asked next. The board spelled it out: A Lewis Gehri, junior. I was dumfounded. Here I was, of the twenty-first century, talking with my great-great-grandfather! This was enough to dum- found anybody. Question after question I asked the Ouija board, and at last, without more questioning, it spelled out the following, which Pro- fessor Malone and I put before you, not as an original document, but as the posthumous literature of Alfred Lewis Gehri, Junior, my great-great-grand father: ' . THE STORY OF ALFRED GEHRI. WHEN I was in my last year of high school-the Lincoln High School, l was delegated to write the prophecy for the Class of l9l8. l was always a seeker after the new, the different, the original. In search of some new method of forming a prophecy for the class, I consulted a mystic. l entered the mystic room. The hangings, the walls, the furniture was all of very dark color. The windows were heavily curtained, and very little light found its way into the chamber. My guide left me in the darkened room, and l felt a queer sensation as l waited. I went over to the window and drew the curtains aside. Below me I recognized the busy thorofare of Commerce street. I was somewhat comforted by the familiar sight, but while I waited for the medium, I paced up and down the floor. It was a long time before any one appeared. l busied myself by winding my Ingersoll, drawing squares on the cover of my notebook, and various other amusements. After a period of time which seemed to me an hour, there ap- peared thru a doorway concealed by heavy, dark curtains, a woman dressed in a simple robe of black. Her hair was jet. Her eyes were like jade beads. Her face, tho, in strange contrast to hair and eyes and dress, was of an unnatural whiteness. ln her slender white hands she carried a crystal sphere of glass. June THE LINCOLNIAN P20153 What do you come here for? she said in a low monotone. Prophet, I said, if prophet you be, I come here to get sight that l may peer into the future. It is well, she answered in the same tone. Many that come here come to see into the Pasts of other beings. Prophet, tell me, can you tell me what will become of my friends in ten years? ln twenty? lt is said that l have such powers, she answered. Then she seated me in a deep leather chair by a table, and put the crystal on a stand in the center. Then the darkness of the chamber grew to blackness, so that even her white face faded into the dark. And she grasped my hand and held it. Tell me, she said, what you would know. I would like to know where my classmates will be in twenty years, I said, startled even at my own voice. Ah, yes! she answered. You would have sight, and look into the future. Then from somewhere out of the darkness came light. We shall see! exclaimed the mystic. Look into my eyes and see truth! You have-have beautiful eyes, I lied. Look and see truth! she almost commanded. The remark silenced me. I did not dare to speak again, and gazed into her eyes until I felt as tho I were pierced with their keen fierceness. Nowl What would you know? she asked, after a minute of torture. Uh-uh-where will Beatrice Isabella Galloway be in ten years from now? I asked. Beatrice Isabella Calloway will be in a fool's paradise, ten years from now-called matrimony, the seeress answered. Cross my palm with silver. I drew out a half-dollar. l was glad that it was dark so that she could not see how small it was. 1 Where will-Don Wolford be? I inquired. Donald Wolford will be conducting a gymnasium for tired business men in Portland, the mystic replied. Cross my palm with silver. Again I drew out a half. Where will-let me see- l paused, and the only name I PBSC154 THE. LINCOLNIAN June could think of next to Don's was that of a certain young lady. Where will Doris Persing be? I asked. Doris Persing will be with Donald, helping him conduct his gymnasium. Cross my palm with silver. This time I gave her a quarter. What wlil have' become of Esther Hammerlin in twenty years? I asked. Esther Hammerlin will be carrying out the will of her husband, poor spineless girl, the seeress said, as if for once melting into a nature somewhat human. But she hardened again. Cross my palm with silver! she commanded. I gave her a dime. I was beginning to doubt. And Ruth I-Iastie, I queriedg what of her? i'Ruth Hastie will be preaching in the Methodist pulpit twenty years from next Sunday. Go and hear, replied the medium. I gave hor a dime and left. I- VVAS in a quandary. How should I find out the remainder of the future? To pay for each one in such a manner was proving too expensive. I could not maintain my high standard of eating if I should pay for one hundred and fifty futures. E As I stood on the street earner, debating the problem, I heard the newsboys crying out their wares. I was struck with the sim- plicityl I would look thru the want ads. V - Timm-rs? I asked the little boy who was running up to me. I-le handed me the sheet of pink paper. ' ' I scanned -.its columns. On one page was a small ad, covering about two inches. It was headed: Your Future. I h-urried to read it. lt seems that if I should send my name, in my own handwriting, and ten cents, I would receive, by return mail, my future. I was surprised with the simplicity of the task I now had before me. I sent a letter at once, to inquire about wholesale prices. . Two days later, I received a reply that prices for over one hun- dred names would be reduced fifty per cent. I was overjoyed. I had each student write his naine on a slip, and I sent the bunch to the gentleman of the extraoif .inary powers. There was one point the significance of which did not strike me then, nor until I had received a reply. The address was Steilacoom. My reply was this: All will be married and live either in harmony or disquiet. Thank you for the seven-fifty. This was another form of palmistry. June THE LINCOLNIAN P89155 FINDING myself no better off than before, I puzzled my brain over some possible method of finishing the prophecy off, but no solu- tion presented itself. I racked my brain in vain. No new ideas struck me. I had not considered it advisable to summon help, but as the case seemed imperative, I asked a certain young lady for her aid. Her first suggestion seemed like a valuable one. Try the Ouija board, she suggested. It sounded like an excellent plan. Creati l exclaimed, delighted with the idea. l..et's try it tonight. . So that night I jumped in dad's Ford and rode out to her house. It was rather hard for me to think of a question to ask the board. You know, my instructor informed me, 'ithe board depends a great deal on the thot of the two people operating it. Have you good thots? - I was trying in vain to think of something which was on the line of the subject. In my meditation, I had a fine opinion of the editor who had assigned me to the task.- , ' - , - - ' ' What will-where will-Bill Birks be twenty years from now? I blurted out. The board tipped, moved, traveled everywhere but toward any of the letters, then spelled out one word which cannot be published here. . - . Q You know, ,the board is really supposed,-to answer according to the thot of the operator, Al, my assistant said. That was the last of the Ouija board for me. I ,, . ,, THE time was fast approaching when the copy had to be in, and I grew desperate. I had been able to check off only six names. As a last resource, I hunted up a copy of the school magazine which was published when my father graduated from high school, and changing a few names, rewrote it. So, even tho it was not entirely original, it was good camouflage. When I left school on the seventh of June, in the year l9l8, l worked one week at my governor's shop, to secure the necessary wherewithal to finance a trip down Hoods Canal. Walt Hessert and I had been planning the trip for some months, and at last we were free to go. The fourth day after school was out, while I was threading a pipe in dad's shop, I saw Walt I-lessert, Sam Baker, and Ralph Whitney poke their heads in at the door. l was rather provoked to be seen in such a position, so I called out, somewhat unkinclly: Go to -h-war! P89156 THE. LINCOLNIAN -Tune We'll meet you there! Sam yelled in his beautiful soprano voice, as they left. So a compact was entered into for us to meet at some indefinite time in the future, at a perfectly definite place. l have fulfilled my part of the agreement, and shall tell you later of the other three. So soon as my financial embarrassment was relieved, l started out on foot to see the world. I have been seeing it ever since. I got as far as France. There are strange sights to be seen in that land, and I saw some of them. The hrst of my old schoolmates whom l met, and I have met every one since graduation one hundred years ago, was Miss Olive Drab Enger. She was driving a Ford ambulance, and sitting beside her was a certain doctor-lieutenant.! He, however, was never a student of Lincoln High School. It is strange how these women usurp us men! I had been in the trenches for seven months, when l saw coming over No-Man's land, a small group of bedraggled soldiers. One was an American. The other four were Huns. The American was behind. As they reached the trench, they dropped one by one into the mud beside me, and l finally recognized the American. It was Ralph Whitney. Hello, Al, where did you come from? Can't l ever get rid of you? The Huns were good fellows-well brot up-two of them high officers-and they kindly withdrew so that we could talk over old times. You know why I came to war, Al? Florence told me she didn't love me, so l decided l might as well sacrifice myself on the altar of Mars as of Cupid. Two days later, Ralph and l were transferred to another front, and we joined the same company that Walt I-lessert and Sam Baker belonged to. This group, you have heard of them since-the famous HS-S-ers Cwhich is an abbreviation for Hydrogen Di- sulphidersl did much to bring the war to a quick close. We gassed the Huns. But the war could not last forever, or perhaps l might have met others of my friends there. I went to Russia after the peace was declared, and from there, thru japan, came back to the coast. I, on revisiting the old High School fwe were still walking all over Stadi- um in every activityl, found that many of the Class of I9l8 still clung to it as to a mother. Richard Browse was professor of agri- culture, and Eddie Danielson, inseparable from Bane, tho the latter had married Beatrice Galloway, was teaching oral expression. June T1-11-1 LINCOLNIAN PHBGI57 There, too, Cleve Olson was taking a P. G. course, majoring in penmanship. They held an assembly in my honor, and I again spoke before students of my own old school. I had a glorious time, because Sam Baker was not right down in the front row. But the wandering foot got me again. I packed my bag and took to the trail again. ln Minnesota-I forget what section-I found Waddie l-lolleque preaching to a large congregation of Metho- dists. I always knew Waddie would turn out a minister. In Boston I was discovered by Esther l-lammerlin. She told me all about how she had attended the Emerson College of Oratory, and was now engaged. I found out later she was engaged-as a solicitor for a patent dish-pan something or other. But I went south with all haste. In New York I ran across Paul Wotton, running a little pie-and-peanut stand in the suburbs. He said he was unmarried. In Washington, I visited my friend the President, who did not attend Lincoln High School, and dropt into a pool-hall for a little recreation later in the evening. The pool-hall was managed by Gladys Jensen, and she welcomed me as a long-lost beau. But I still went south. At Palm Beach I found-who do you suppose?-Miss Florence Doyle-still unattached. She was spending the winter there for her health-she said. TEN years later, I was again in Tacoma, and I decided to settle clown for good. I would not marry-yet, at least. What a change there was in the city of my youthl There, on Eleventh and Pacific, where the Peoples Store used to be, was Benthien's Tonsorial Parlor, for blondes only. Let me see-he had --who was it, for his manicure lady? Oh, yes-Hazel Tillman was trimming nails in his joint On the car one day I came across Donald Sampson fHerculesJ Wolford and Mrs. Wolford, nee lnez Hall, and a more surprised man than myself was never seen. They told me Orin Simons served them with milk each morning, from his farm out in the valley. So I journeyed up the Puyallup Valley. Orin certainly had a fine ranch. I-le employed the ex-Professor C. H. Schartow as his assistant, and together they were certainly doing fine work. Caleda Carrier and Vina Dykeman were running a restaurant out there on the Valley roadg but they didn't do their own cooking, thank good- ness, for l ate there. On my way back to the city, I ran across Page158 THE. LINCOLNIAN JUDO Millie Anderson-who was Anderson no more. She married some rich farmer. We always knew Millie would fall for a farmer. Finding some of my old friends still hanging around the town, I decided to get a job and stay. I applied for the position of editor of the News, but found that Harry Weller was running that paper. I had a good talk with the editor, and he directed me to some of my friends. Later, I was put on to write up personal stuE about Tacomans, and I came in contact with a great many of every class. , Frances Cavanaugh was having her name in the News about every night. She was a prominent boxing promoter, and had staged more smokers in Tacoma than any one else. For instance, she featured Anna Piiuge against Nettie Larson in a five-round contest. Anna won by the knockout route. Mrs. Nelsong that is, the former Hazel Burger, met me on the street one day and told me Paul was in Canada. I was still in town when he came back, and he invited me out to dinner, bless his soul! He had a regular little party. Everett Wadsworth, who played a trombone in the Pantages orchestra, came with his wife. They had a cottage out on the Spanaway line. Elmer Christianson and his wife-Evva Conrad that was-came. Elmer was at the head of the green-stamp department of McCormack Brothers' store. lvah Chambers, tutor in gymnastics, who still clung to her maiden name, tho married, came, and brought along husband Billy. Let me see, I think there was another member of the class-oh yes! Kitty F. D. Jurgenson, author of Pies and I-low to Make Them, came too. Paul always liked Kathryn. We had a fine time at that dinner, and the idea was proposed that we get up a banquet for all the members of the Class of 1918 who could possibly come. The idea was unanimously carried, and I was appointed to make arrangements. So out at the school we gathered together. Thru every means possible, we got in touch with the members of the old class, and were surprised at how many answered the roll call. One of the ideas of the supper was that each classmate, in answering the roll call, would tell what he had done, or was doing. So that this will not seem tiresome, I leave out those whom I have told you of before, and those who were absent. I also use the maiden names of the girls. The first of the class to answer to roll call was Esther Abelson. Both Esther and Margaret Almgren confessed to having committed matrimony, and they were managing husbands and homes. Algot Anderson rose next, and with humor in his eye, declare that he June THE LINCOLNIAN PHRI59 was devoting his energies to the production of a guaranteed hair bleach, and offered to try it at that time on any one submitting. None did. I Ethel Beckman and Beulah Beaty had been married since the army post days, and were still doing kitchen police for their house- holds. Ethel Beckman, every one knew. She acted in a prominent stock company in the town, and it was rumored that she was mar- ried alsog but she did not admit having fallen while the army post was in our suburbs. Beulah Blackwell was married, and she lived on a little farm out on the Puyallup line. Minnie Berg ran the pie store across from the school, and said she was having a rushing business. We all applauded when we heard her confession. Mabel Briffet made candy for the Kellogg Kream Kandy Company, so you can guess what the blushing Earl was engaged in. Ralph Bryan was married, he said, the lucky girl being Dorothy Jones in high school days. Edith Chambers rather bashfully told us that she was in the millinery line on Tacoma Avenue. Irene Colbo was unmarried still, and was thinking of taking up a farm in the valley, tho in the past she had been County Agriculturist. Marian Collier raised chickens at American Lake, also a husband. Edna Cornell was society editor for the Tribune. She was unmarried to date. Emma Crain had been married once, but was then a lady barber in Henry Benthien's Blonde Barber Shop. Sara Davies was a nurse. She had taken up the profession during the war, and had continued since. Bernice Doten was a teacher of mathematics in a school in Portland, and had come to Tacoma especially for our banquet. Orton Doward was a traveling magician and snake charmer, then appearing at the Tacoma. l-le refused absolutely to demonstrate his art. Agnes Dunn had been growing Easter lilies in Bermuda, but the onions drove her out, so she retired to live on her accumulated profits. V Ruth Earl had been opening people's mouths for some time: in fact, ever since she set up as a dentist. Mabel Fincke was an airplane chauffeur, and she said she had been having a soaring time. She was continually up in the clouds. Helen Fischer was the presi- dent of the Puyallup Fruitgrowers' Association. When Adeline Foss answered to her name, a stir passed over the assembled schoolmates. There was no need for her to have told what she had done, for every person knew that she was the Secretary of Education for the United States. How often we had P89160 THE LINCOLNIAN June heard of her! No one had expected her to be able to attend this reunion, but she had come. That Sam Baker guy was in the mood for a filibuster, and he was strongly in favor of having Adeline make a speech. He was sup- pressed by Adeline herself. Wilhelmina Cass was a firm believer in woman's superiority over men. She had risen above all of the stronger sex, for she was a steeple-jack and camouflaged flagpoles on skyscrapers. Maggie Gaupp was the business agent for the Educators' Union. The next of the class present was Margaret Grubbs. Many a time, she said, she had appeared on the lecture platform to talk on war subjects, but she really enjoyed writing better. Neeta Hahn was a proofreader for Hastie's Weekly Herald, which Ruth pub- lished. Olga Hansen was married and owned three apartment houses. George Harader made packing boxes in one, of the big Tacoma factories. Bill Herber ran a popcorn and soft drink stand on K Street. Ruth Holman had just returned from the East, where she left her husband, Senator lffert. Carl had overcome his bashfulness, Ruth said, and had made some really dramatic speeches on the floor of the senate chamber. Eugenia Jerrman was singing in the choir of one of the big Boston churches, but was on a vacation tour thru the West. William Johnston declared he was a mechanic, and sharpened anything from lawn-mowers to razor blades. At this statement, Sam Baker said that he would bring Bill his razor blades as soon as he began shaving. Arthur Keller was an artist of the new school. His work had drawn the attention of critics everywhere, and all were puzzling over the significance of his pictures. Art explained it to us by saying that his pictures represented nothing whatsoever. Anna Knauff was a lady mason. She said she laid' foundations. Adrian Koons followed up by saying he was an excavator, and dug the basements before the foundations could be laid. He advised us to try a shovel exercise for reducing. Sam Levinson was a citizen of Walla Walla, where he ran a select school for young ladies. He said that he was representing two of his teachers at our banquet, Miss Evelyn Lyddon and Rosa Palo, who had assumed the last name of Wotton. Paul was in the East, playing with the Giants. Gladys Macaulay had yielded to the arrows of Cupid, but she had not married one of the class. Marie Maloney was a lady en- gineer, and built bridges and the like. Mary McCaffrey was mar- ried, also, but before her marriage she had been a real estate agent. June THE LINCOLNIAN Page161 Lorena McKee acted in the movies, and we had all seen her on the screen. She did not mention her husband. Julian McMahon was a cigar manufacturer, making the popular Post cigars. Ruby Mcwhirter admitted that she had gone into politxcs, and could control some ten thousand votes in the eastern part of the state. She said that she did not want any office for herself. Ida Miller was the next to answer, but she flushed when the Miller was said, and admitted that that part had been changed by Walter Peterson. The husband, she confessed, was a farmer. Helen Mooney was engaged, also, in providing comforts for a husband. Earl Morgan was in the hshing industry, and owned a fleet of nine seine boats. Elizabeth Mueller cancelled postage stamps at the post office, and said she often observed stamps getting licked by great big men. Helen Murland was at the head of the Annie Wright Seminary, and had been for some years. Ethel Murphy was teaching there, too, but was going to marry that fall. Evangeline Neikirk-what a figure she made as she rose to tell us of what she had been doing. She was a speaker, and we could all see it in her bearing. She announced the ,trains at the Union Depot. Doris Persing said she was unmarried, and devoting her life to service in the Seattle public library, of which she was the head. Elsie Phillips had developed her artistic ability, and painted signs for Foster and Kleiser. Trilbus Pochert was a scene shifter at the Pantages, and he said he always had wanted to go on the stage. Helen Price was married to one of the soldiers of democracy who used to be stationed at Camp Lewis. Charles Revelle was an airplane pilot, on a mail route in Alaska, but was spending the summer at his old home. He said his wife was still well-she used to be Eva Grant-and that her sister, the well-known playwright, and the mother were spending the summer in Alaska. Mabel Rogers told us about her experiences while ex- ploring the antarctic seas, and said she was going back again. My, but I longed for a chance to try the same stunt! Ruth Rostedt was an efficiency expert for the Tacoma smelter. Shrelda Rowland was married, but up to about a year before, had been the captain,of a Sound steamer. Mark Ryan ran a dairy out at Spanaway, and com- peted in the same market as Orin Simons. He said he was not mar- ried. Lena Schwartz had been married twice, but at present was managing threelgreenhouses, a husband, and two children, and in her spare time writing for the Ladies' Home Journal. Bernice Setzer had fallen before Cupid as many of her classmates had, and lived during the winter in an orange grove in Calofirnia. Augusta Sem- 520162 THE LINCOLNIAN -711110 mem was a conductor on the municipal street railway, and spent her days just riding around. Lillie Siler owned a bakery, and was rap- idly building up a fine business. Margaret Silsethe was married, and had divorced a husband before this one. She was perfectly satisfied, she said, with Hershal, and she liked the last name of Walker. Hershal, when he answered to his name later, admitted having com- mitted matrimony, and said he owned a few shipyards in various parts of the country. Lena Skinstead had a line photo studio in the National Realty Building, on about the fifteenth floor. She invited us to some day when the elevators were not running. Ruth Sparre and Harry Weller had formed a partnership, tho not in business. Harry said he could earn enough cash for both in his clothing store on Broad- way. Anna Sterba, Pearl Thompson, and Ella Sundby were ap- pearing that week on the Hippodromc circuit in a song number. l saw it later, and can say it was simply great. Bernhard Solberg wrote the songs, but he lived in New York, and did not attend our banquet. . Charlotte Stilke was a life-guard at one of the popular bathing beaches, and said she was getting along swimmingly. She ex- pected to give her profession up for matrimony, however. Herbert and Ruth Swanson had entered an agreement, and no names were altered, which proved agreeable to both. Herbert put the silver stuff on the backs of mirrors-l don't know what you would call the occupation. Marie Tschicla operated one of the linotype machines for the Times. Rachel Van Fossen drove an automobile for one of the sales companies, and held the record for selling more cars than any other salesman or saleswoman in town. Mabel Watson said she had been married to Ralph Whitney for a while, but she was inde- pendent now, and was running a singing school. Leta Wendelken taught astronomy at the College of Puget Sound. Dorothy Wilson had succumbed to Cupid, while the soldiers were here. Lucile Wolland was the last to answer to roll call, and she said she was a governess for Donald Wolford's family. Don was in Arizona then, and was looking after his copper interests. The banquet was a big success, and every one had a fine time there. Many were the friendships renewed, and many the stories told. But l felt rather apart from the most of the class. l had not got rich. l had not made much of myself. l resolved to hit the trail again. -Tulle THE LINCOLNIAN P89163 SO the next day I went south. In Oregon I stopped at the country grocery store run by Nell Alsgaard's husband. Lower California I finally struck, and there I met a party of tourists, and among them, Parker Buck, Tom Hunt, and Anna Person. Parker was the guide, and Tom and Anna were press correspondents for big New York papers. In Panama I ran across Wyona Clark, who had mar- ried a rich fruit grower down in one of those lititle republics. But I longed for the States, after about a year's absence, so I sailed for home. One the ship was Gladys Ansen, the actress who had taken Sarah Bernhardt's place. I went as far north as Maine, and there I ran across Melvin McKenney, farming a few acres, and raising enough to pile up considerable cash. Floyd Leighton and Fielding Lemmon were living in the same community, and both were unmarried. Of course, you know about Melvin! In New York I stayed a month. While stopping at the Waldorf- Astoria, I dined with Audley Mahaffey and his wife, Loda Mullen Nlahaffey. Audley had grown fat off the people who used patent washing machines, and he was spending some of his money in New York, where it is easy to spend. I turned west. In Indianapolis I met Phoebe Nicholson, who was visiting her cousin. She greeted me as an old friend, and told me she was married. I promised I wouldn't tell to whom, and l keep my promises. In Chicago I saw Bernice Lyman. She was a pro- fessor in the dramatic school there, and was a regular Miss Dodd when it came to acting. While there, I met Ruth Hastie, still the same jolly girl, unworried by a husband or other cares, and having the best kind of a time spending the money she had saved up in her youth. She said she was visiting the places where the famous modern authors had lived, and she was going to see Riley's home and some of the other towns before she went west. We took the same train for Greenfield, Indiana, and who do you suppose we found living in the outskirts of that little city? Bill Birks, a farmer! He owned a little cottage-he said the wife QU was away-and a few acres of land, and he was perfectly contented. He gave us a swell time while we were there. And what do you suppose happened before I got away from Bill's little town? I met Katherine Kerr, who practiced ministry, and Ruth and I were married. We took our wedding trip west. ln Montana we were riding across the country on horseback, when we reined up before the ranch run by Hope Hartman and Stella Hess. They certainly had some fine cattle. Ruth Lorenzen and Florence McMichael were PHKQ164 THE LINCOLNIAN June cowgirls for the outfit, and they showed us stunts which not many men could do. ln Idaho we heard of the wherabouts of Margaret Frazer and Eva Forsherg. They were partners in an engineering scheme, and were reclaiming lands thru irrigation. Marie Giesh and her husband lived in the same part of the country. ln Eastern Washington we ate fruit from the orchards of Arthur Ellsworth and Thorwald Hendrickson. They were neighbors in the Yakima country, raising peaches and cantaloupes. Say, l said to my wife, this looks like the country for us. This is where peaches belong, and l guess we've found the place for us. But the climate might not agree with you, you old prune! she declared. Well, we settled there, Ruth and l. We many a time talked over our old classmates. Many were married. Many of those had answered the call to the soil, and were engaged in agricultural pur- suits. Some had become famous. Many were doing the ordinary, everyday things which come in everyday life. There were only three whom l had not run across or heard of-Fred l-lallingstead, Edward Anson, and Raymond johnson. It was not until l passed out of this world that l again met these three of my schoolmates- But we were reunited in another world! Here the story ends.

'J UN IORS The Class of 1919 E HE Class of 1919 has not been inactive in the three years while at Lincoln. Tho as a class they were unorganixed until the first semester, this year, was almost passed, they were leading in athletics, with such players on their teams as Abe Olswang, Ralph Pollen, Leo Nelson, Ed Benson, and the others. Even when Freshmen the Class of 1919 was active, but with the Junior year came a more united class action. ln a remarkably short time after the officers were elected, a party was given, pins selected, and not long afterward the staff for The Lincolnian in l9l9 was elected. But the Class of 1919 is not proud of her athletics alone. Tho not having an opportunity to stage an entertainment as a class, the Juniors have taken important parts in The Chimes of Normandy and Jeanne d'Arc. ln their work for The Lincolnian the Juniors have done their best, and when the juniors do their best it is some good. The time in which they were able to put out the issue of the magazine when it was left to them was truly remarkable. But not content to publish the one issue, they co-operated with the present staff in every way in order that above all a magazine which would be a credit to the whole school might be published. The Juniors have responded nobly to all the undertaking in which the school has participated: the Y. M. C. A. drive, Thrift Stamp campaign, Red Cross work, Liberty Loan drives and all the rest that have come up thruout the year. The juniors are one hun- dred per cent Lincoln and one hundred per cent American. Life is a leaf of paper white Whereon each one of us may write His word or two, and then comes night, Greatly begin ! Though thou hast time But for a line, be that sublime! Not failure, but low aim, is crime. Lowell Assemblies T HIS year has brought us awealth of knowledge and amusement in assemblies. The gay side of life and the serious side have been equally represented. The serious has been dealt with by some of the best speak- ers and thinkers of our country, but the light side also has been touched upon by them. The student assem- blies have been both serious and hu- morous in nature. One of the first big men who talked to us this year was Colonel S. S. Mc- Clure, the great publisher, who was in Europe before the war broke out. and had seen a part of the conflict. He spoke rather of the international relations, and of the events which took place behind the thrones of the European powers- Dr. Foster, the head of Reed Col- lege, who had spoken to us the pre- vious term, followed Colonel McClure with a talk on Present Condition of Affairs in Europe. The man himself was notably changed since his former visit, and this, coupled with his talk effects of the realization of not what we as an eye-witness of the war, brought a deeper what we must do, and ought to do. Norman Hackett, the well known actor, appeared on our platform one afternoon and gave us a fine talk with interpretations on Shakespeare. His talk clearly showed that an actor of the modern stage could BPPY'-'date Shakespeare without being 8 dead one. One of the most delightful speak- ers of the year was David Starr Jor- dan, the great educator, former pres- ident of Leland Stanford University, author and authority on fish, especial- ly of the blind variety. Mr. Jordan gave one of the most interesting sketches of Robert Louis Stevenson, of the Year and awakened a greater appreciation for the author. On the Thanksgiving program Mrs. C. K. Stoudt spoke on Hagadorn's You Are the Hope of the World. This little woman brought a great message that many cannot thank her for enough. The Christmas program was a com- bination of school and outside effort. Maurice Langhorne gave a speech and the playlet, A Little Bit o' Heaven, was given by students. The playlet was written by Alfred Gehri. There were many fine musical numbers on the program. We also were delighted and in- structed by a talk by Dr. Penrose, of Whitman College, on England's and Germany's Contributions to the World Thru Education, and he accounted in a large sense for the conditions which caused the war. Dr. Penrose stated that Germany's attitude was mostly due to the system of education. Paul Rader, of Moody Church, in Chicago, was perhaps the most force- ful speaker we have had, and even caused the industrious knitters to stop in their knit two, purl two, while he delivered his talk on the Two Elements which Make or Break a Man. The awarding of letters for football came in an assembly soon afterward, when the school spirit became ram- pant. One striking figure among all who spoke to us, was Dr. F. B. Coan, who has been a prominent worker in the relief of the Armenians, Syrians and jews. He spoke of the sights he had seen in the country where the massa- cres took place, and of the cruelty of the German officers over the Turks. There was a great deal of enthusi- asm when Major Carter appeared on June THE LINCOLNIAN 132186173 the platform after being absent since last summer. Always a favorite, our former gym instructor received a great round of applause. He spoke of his observations in the eastern training camps and of his trip in an observa- -tion balloon. The Lincoln-Washington assembly was in two parts. The first part was on l..incoln's birthday when the school as well as a great portion of the city congregated around the veiled statue of Lincoln. On the twenty-first of February the rest was held. A stu- dent program, songs by Mrs. Rice, and the unfurling of our service flag were numbers on the program. Two assemblies were held to boost Thrift Stamp sales. and student speak- ers aroused the school to greater pa- triotism. The effect was clearly shown when sales in one week were over two thousand dollars. ' Bellingham Normal's book of col- lected verse, entitled Dr. Coal, was another of our remarkable speakers. His talk was so full of wit which il- lustrated his serious point, that he was immensely enjoyed. Perhaps the best entirely student assembly was the one when the pan- tomime of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab- bage Patchn was presented by a class in oral expression. The pantomime was worked out entirely by the stu- dents, and was selected as the best of two. Mrs. Wiggs' family proved to be quite a curiosity and certainly a lot of entertainment. The French Department program gave a splendid pantomime of a French song, bristling with grim sea- men and tragical in ending. A French Hag was presented to the school at the close of the assembly. A steady current of patriotism runs thru all the assemblies, and in one of the last, the patriots of sixty-one and sixty-five appeared on our platform. The winners of the essay contest were awarded the medals, a beautiful flag presented to the school, and a delight- ful program in every way given by the Women's Relief Corps, the Ladies of the Grand Army and two veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. HESE speakers who have been mentioned represent so many var- ied interests and phases of activity, and the programs have had so many different purposes, that in reviewing them we cannot help but feel that in the past year we have had the best assemblies of any year. Many great speakers have visited us. The various departments from-the Commercial to the French have been represented and shown the products of their efforts. Few high schools have had such op- portunities, and no year has brought what the past has brought. Every Lincolnite who leaves school now can look back and feel the influence that these assemblies have left on them, and heartily thank those who have en- deavored to make them one of the priceless parts of their school days. -Hazel Z. Burger. Music Notes ROM the First year of l..incoln's existence as a school the music department has made itself one of the most necessary parts of the school life. This year more than ever before this is true, partly be- cause our music department has now some funds with which to buy music and other necessary articles, and also because some of the students have now had four years' training in the musical department of the school. It seems only fitting that we should here thank Mr. Ball for his more than personal interest in the musical activ- ities of our school. The remarkable rapidity with which the musical de- partment has grown and its endeavors to give to the school the best there was, has originated in the faithful in- terest of Mr. Ball. Not only is this true of Lincoln but also of Stadium. When Mr. Ball took up his work in the Stadium High Schvbl. before Lincoln was built, there was just 42 cents in the treasury. Now there is 5255. Besides this Stadium now has 51,795.50 worth of instruments which have been purchased from the pro- ceeds derived from the school operas. Although Lincoln is a practically new school, her music department has been running in such splendid order that from the four operas and other entertainments she has accumulated a bank account of 5445-47. besides 52,3l9.50 worth of instruments ,in- cluding the fine concert grand pian0. which is the pride of the auditorium. These things could not have been procured had not Lincoln had the man to train the large number of stu- dents necessary to the successtui pro- duction of our operas. The four operas which Mr. Ball di- rected in Lincoln were Queen Es- ther, Contest of Nations, Captain of Plymouth and The Chimes of Normandy, the latter being the opera of l9l8. - The difficulties arising in the secur- ing of male characters for this opera, due to the small percentage of boys who were able to devote their time toward musical training, was one of the many obstacles to hinder the pro- Soklich, who played the leading role, Gaspard the the characterization of Gaspard and gress of the opera. Leon miser, worked long and hard on his wonderful achievement was one of Mr. Ball's greatest pleasures. HE members of our faculty have been especially kind in respond- ing to calls for assembly music. Miss Easterday' has many times sung some of her heart-to-heart songs that can't begforgotten. Even though Miss Clift has a standing reputation for being l00 per cent efficient in historical dates she is certainly efficient in an- other most necessary thing and that is her musical talent, which she has so generously shared with us. Miss Ol- son, although not a member of our faculty, has also sung in our assem- blies many times. Lincoln students wish to thank these and others of the faculty for their loyal interest in this pleasant part of our school days. It is hoped that Mrs. Rice will be an annual event in l..incoln's future, as she has been the past two years. The delightful morning she gave us with her queer Chinese lullabies ought to be seconded next year. lf Mrs. Rice enjoys us as much as we do her appearances would be a weekly event instead of yearly. This year the orchestra has been larger and done more than ever be- fore. The increase of instruments and the amount of music has all weighed in the steady interest which -Fine THE LINCOLNIAN PHSQ175 those in the orchestra have shown. Next year it is hoped some students will take advantage of the opportun- ity which Mr. Ball extends of fur- nishing every one with an Instrument and lessons if they will faithfully give their time to the learning of the in- strument. Lincoln has another thing to be proud of now, and that is its whistler. Robert Wadsworth, who has added a new attraction to several assemblies this last year. IT would be totally impossible to mention all who have at some time taken a musical part in our assem- blies, therefore thanks and congratu- lations are extended to all to he taken by those who know they deserve it. At this time music means so much in everyone's life and it will come to mean even more. lf l..incoln's music department improves on its present standards, which are splendid, its fu- ture value will be inestimalale. -Hazel Z. Burger. Y v EDITORIAL STAFF The Lincolnian INCOLN HIGH SCHOOL has kept up with the other high schools in the country in literary work, if she is not a little ahead. Writers have been encouraged from the time the high school was first started, by having a chance to submit stories and such material to the Tahoma. But it was not until this present term which is just now closing that the Lincoln High School has published a magazine separate from that of the Stadium High School. It may be remembered by some the efforts which the Class of I9I7 expended in an effort to establish a new magazine. Perhaps the foremost in the movement .then was Willard Yerkes. The meets ing which was held by the staffs from the two schools favored re- maining together for the first semester, however, and a second meet- ing was called for early january, l9l 7. The two staffs had been working together for a half year, and the natural result was a post- ponement of the separation which was inevitable. A new staff was elected by the junior classes of the two schools, and before the semester closed a meeting was held which Hnally and forever broke the union paper. A ln the fall of I9l7 the two schools started up separately, but with a definite understanding that there was to be co-operation in advertisting work. This policy has been followed throuout the year, and there is not much competition in that field. The merchants who advertise in one seem willing to patronize the other if approached. But the competition in the other lines is more keen. The students of the two schools discuss the various features of the two papers. The result of the separation is two fine papers, as fine as can be found in any city of the country. There has been no danger of either becoming insolvent, and each publishes more material of in- terest to the students of its high school than could possibly have been published in a union magazine. The students of each high agree that the separation is the best possible remedy, and there are BUSINESS STAFF June THE LINCOLNIAN Page179 few merchants who are not glad to see the split as an indication of Tacoma's growth. As a climax to the success of the separation, The Tahoma and The Lincolnian are both publishing commencement issues as large as any printed in the past, and, to all indications, of higher standard. The future of The Lincolnian seems bright. With the success of the first year, further successes are in order. The Lincolnian is certainly an improvement over the old Tahoma, and the progress is in the right direction. ln a few years we may expect to see The Lincolnian firmly established as the best high school paper in the United States, and we already lay claim to the ,distinction of having published the finest high school commencement annual ever pub- lished anywhere.

After it was all over, every one who had seen it was talking about the wonderful characterization for that part. The best dramatic work for any of the masculine roles was that of Sam Baker, taking the part of Marshal La Hire. He acted the part of the larusque soldier to perfection. Sam Levinson, the villain, and Florence Doyle, as the villainess, did fine character work. We have not the space to tell of each character's work individually, but all did so well that the play was a great success. The music, staging, and lighting effects added materially to the performance. The credit for the play, however, is due mostly to the coach, Miss Docia Dodd. Tho receiving nothing for her work but the thanks of the school and the knowledge that she was giving the characters training, she worked long and hard, sacrificing time and labor in order to present a play worthy of Lincoln High. So, above all, we thank Miss Dodd. Scene from Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch presented by advanced oral class Library Committee SINCE Miss Mildred Pope, our for- mer librarian, first organized a body of students with each class rep- resented by three of its members, the committee has been active in looking toward the betterment of the library. Some of us may not stop to realize what a really fine library, we have, both in fittings and furniture, besides in volumes. About the first work which the committee did when first organized was to hold a candy sale, and enough money was raised to purchase the palm now there. Since that time the committee has supervised the buying of books with money raised by the students: established a system of read- ing cards: secured and had bound copies of The Tahoma since l904g held a competition for a bookplate fthe bookplate is now being pasted in our new booksjg secured donations of books for the soldiers: formed scrapbooks which are to the library what a memory book is to a Senior girl. The present members of the committee are: Miss Harris, librarian: Al Cehri, president: Cecil Cavanaugh, secretary-treasurer, and active mem- bers: Ralph Whitney, Fred Vinson, Walter Hessert, Roberta Adams, May Snell, lsyl johnson, Bartlett Rummel and Leslie Soule. Y. W. C. A. Notes E have almost finished another year of work, fun, and com- panionship. We started out last fall as a unit of the Patriotic League, and under that heading we found our hands full. We got yarn and started our sweaters and wrist- lets. Helen Dryden had charge of all the yarns and the work to be handed in. While we may not have done as much knitting as some of the knitting units, we held our own in that line, just the same. At Thanksgiving time came another opportunity for service. We gathered together food, clothing, nuts, and candy for three families that we knew had reason to enjoy them. Miss Bur- gess acted as adviser, and also helped the girls distribute them. Not only in that particular instance has Miss Burgess helped, but in all the other Patriotic League activities. She and Miss Pope were appointed as ad- visers last fall when the Patriotic League was first started, and we were fortunate in having two who were so capable and who knew so well what was best for us to do. The next big job was making the service fiag, and though it may sound easy, it certainly was not. It was divided up among the girls to be done, in order to make it easier on a few of us. Only one could sew on it at a time, and there were so many angles that there was more starting and stopping than sewing. Though you have been looking at the service Hag for a long time and may think it is finished, it really is not, as we haven't added stars since its dedication. There are more stars to be added now, and as time goes on there will be still more. ERE have been fewer meetings than usual this year, due to the fact that there have been so many things to take up our time. When we did take the trouble to work up a good program, there were hardly enough there to make the meeting worth while. Our program chairman is a dandy, and she has been the one to get us all our splendid programs, even if they were all for nothing. She is the charming child, Gladys Macaulay. We don't know who will' be chairman next year, but whoever she is, here's hoping she is as good as Gladys. The biggest thing we did, in my estimation, was the paying off of our twenty-dollar debt. lt was in- curred in order to send three of the girls to Seabeck for the summer conference. lt was hard to make the cake sale successful, but we worked hard and came off with enough to pay off the debt in one sweep. But a conference trip is worth anything- all the cake sales you can get to- gether. We willihave to find some other way now to get cash, for cake sales are not food conservated enough. , y The best feature of all our good times was the house party. We have had a few parties this year, and had! some mighty fine times. usually hav- ing a crowd of about two hundred girls. Them's the times we don't miss boys! Have you ever been to Fox lsland? Well, it is as beautiful as any of the other places along the Sound, and the YQ W. C. A. Camp is simply marvelous. There were we certainly time. Row- twenty-five of us, and had some scream of a ing, and romantic trips to Sylvan were some of the special features, not omitting our midnight lunch. Page183 THE LINCOLNIAN June Here's a little tip: Don't tell any- body, for l wouldn't want anybody to think she wasn't perfectly honest, but we had three bananas among us, thru the sly efforts of Dorothy Osbogrln. With the addition of honey cookies, marshmallows and wienies, we certainly had some lunch. Pauline Sherrill woke all the girls in our room in the middle of the night with the comforting informa- tion that somebody had climbed on the roof of the porch and was trying to get in the window. We were tempted to put our heads under the pillows, but thot better of it and decided to investigate and settle mat- ters.

Girls' Athletics S a whole, this year of athletics has been very successful. ln- ter-class games have been played in volley-ball, basket-ball, and baseball. About forty girls have signed up for the tennis tournament, and among them are many good play- ers, so a few hard contests are ex- pected. h ln the gym classes, Miss Pinkham has introduced many new drills, and games entirely different from any the Lincoln girls have ever played. The climax of the whole year's work was the gym exhibition held on May 3. PERSONAL MENTION THE annual track meet between a picked team of eight girls and eight members of the faculty was a huge success. A large crowd of rooters, led by Yell King Professor William Malone, cheered the faculty to a victory of twenty-three points against five. The relay team was composed of Misses Townsend, Bar- rett, Laird, and MacDonald, and they absolutely overwhelmed their op- ponents in speed. The girls' team is expected to emerge from the dust about june l5. Miss Ford received loud applause when she carried off honors in the l00-yard dash, altho she was some- what handicapped by the loss of one shoe. The well-known Professor Schartow recovered the missing arti- cle, and it is now on exhibition in the Agricultural room. Miss Ericson and Miss Clift won first and second places in the pole- vault, and many sport critics believe that the latter would have taken first if not placed under handicap. The last event was the high hur- dles, and again Miss Clift came Ato l OVER THE TOP GIRLS' GYM EXHIBIIION -'Une THE LINCOLNIAN P89191 the front. Mrs. Ross won by a scant yard, and Miss Clift came so close on her heels that the judges-Professor Schartow and Mr. l-lennig-had great difficulty in deciding which was win- ner. This event was one of the best drawing cards of the season. A large amount was realized, and these pro- ceeds will go to some war work. Ralph Whitney has been in great demand by some of the girls, for he has a knowledge of the mysterious science of reducing. Thru the ef- forts of Beatrice Galloway, he was lured to the Girls' Gym fand he did not require much other persuasionj, and there a class of extra heavies were waiting for instruction. Miss Pinkham is quite delighted with this change of affairs, and says it gives her a chance to knit for a certain good-looking man in the aviation corps. Mollie Clark. a brilliant young ath- lete. has absolutely deserted the gym lately. lnstead, she sits at the corner table in the library with Leo Doyle. when she cannot be near him, a doleful look comes over her face, and her smile fades. The affair is not one-sided, for Leo's sister tells us that all they hear at home is l..eo's favorite song, My Mollie-O. -Frances Cavanaugh. Debating HIS year's debating season was over two months ago. The ex- periences of the State team have been many: in fact, so many that l dare not stop to enumerate them here. As for the debaters, l can assure you they walked off the debating platform much wiser than when they first went on, in spite of the fact that they were able to hold only two de- bates: and if you should wish to see any further proof of this, you might ask them, for they will welcome a chance to again tune up their vocal cords with argument. I might say here that one of the debaters fno names mentioned, has been greatly affected of late fthis particular per- son heretofore decidedly talkativej in the oral conversation. Maybe it's the warl The laurels for next year's debating team lie between Bartlett Rummel and Arthur Pochert. Since these two boys were members of this year's team, we feel confident that, with the aid of Mr. Rogers and Miss Burgess, there will be more active work in debate than in past years, and that the honor of Lincoln will be upheld in this field as well as in others. As for Esther Hammerlin, the third member of the team, altho she will not be at Lincoln to debate next year, she has an idea that her ex- perience will come in handy in a business career. Tho so unsuccessful this year in debate, greater activity and better luck for Lincoln seems probable in the coming term. -Esther Hammerlin. ,A ,Q 1 rl! 'E ill-,ix i S Q .siwy I FOOTBALL TEAM The Football Season URING the last year at Lincoln the athletic question has been very prominent, most likely because of the good start that Lincoln got in the football season. The football season here opened practically the day that school opened, but as it takes a little while to become used to the newness of things, the first turnout was not held until about a week after the first day of school. ' From the very First of the season, the chance of keeping the silver football trophy for another year was very good. Altho the Stadium players won the class series, they were not in it when it came to the first team games. That is where Lincoln shone, and partly because Coach Colbert spent the most of his time with the first team material. Three straight games was the Lincoln record for first team work, and in every instance the score was very de- cisive. The South Side school had a perfect machine that literally mowed down all of Stadium's opposition. Stadium was even out- played at her own game, that of the forward passes, which she depended on, and the Lincoln players scored their first touchdown by means of a pass. The Football Lineup.

Browse Stadium turned the tables on the Lincoln second team and drubbed them in the same manner that the Stadium first team was drubbed. The midgets of the two schools broke even with one tie and a win each. The result of the football season was that the silver trophy will adorn the South Side halls for another year, and it remains to be seen for how much longer than one year. If the spirit of co-opera- tion prevails next year between Coach Colbert and the players that was evident last year, the trophy will most likely be Lincoln's for good. 7 W BASKETBALL TEAM The Results in Basketball FOLLOWING immediately after the football season, the indoor ' game of basket-ball took up the attention of most of Lincoln's athletes. The coaching problem was at first considered difficult, as l..incoln's last year's coach, Mr. Mallory, had left the school, but Coach Colbert stepped in and filled up the gap in an excellent man- ner. Altho Lincoln was repaid for what it did to Stadium in other years, Coach Colbert had a very good quintet in the field. The series went to Stadium by a unanimous vote of three to nothing. The Lineup. Forwards ...... Benson, Holleque, Moyer, Wicken Centers . . . .... . ............. lffert, Cravens Guards .. . . Pollen, Olswang Other Games. The Lincoln second team was Stadium's downfall, however, and they walked over the Stadium scrubs in the sameway that the Stadium first team treated the South Side first team. The midgets failed to get into the music at Lincoln, and as a result. Stadium trounced them three times in succession. The class series split even, as the juniors and Sophs of Lincoln took their games, while the Stadium Seniors and Freshmen walked away with their part of the deal. Along with the inter-school basket-ball games, there were games every noon between the different roll rooms of th schocl. This idea was Coach Colbert's plan of giving the players some real practice, and also to get the boys who would not play inter-school basket-ball, to take part in some athletics. The plan worked well, and altho all the games were not played off, there were enough to furnish a lot of real amusement. Some claim that this roll room plan was an open conspiracy against the lunch room to entice the boys away and keep them from buying their dinner there. As there was no absolute proof and Coach Colbert would not express his opinion, the matter was dropped. 9122196 THE LINCOLNIAN June WRESTLING TEAM Wrestling THE loss of Major Carter as coach in the wrestling game was keenly felt till Oliver La Chappelle stepped forward and Hlled his place. Billy La Chappelle is some wrestler, having been on the University of Washnigton team when attending there. The place was soon vacated, however, for La Chappelle left to join the aviation corps. The job of coaching then fell to Coach Colbert's shoulders, and un- der him a system of inter-class and roll room matches were staged, and two student coaches, john Mund and George Harader, appointed. The Lincoln wrestling team had fine success in the one meet with their bitter rivals, the Stadium. ln the pink of condition, the teams met and Lin- coln won eight matches out of eight. George Harader wrestling in two. The Team. Oren Cravens . . . . . 95 lbs. Ray Williams . . . . . I05 lbs. Frank Rudd ..... . . . l I5 lbs. julian McMahon . . . . . . I25 lbs. Ernest Cook .... . . .

When Mr. Deal of- fered to coach our rival team, base- ball started at Stadium, and about a week and a half later the turnout at Lincoln was held. The Lincolnites were ve-ry optimis- tic concerning the baseball outlook. Stadium's teams, under the coaching of Mr. Deal, have shown up well, and will certainly do their best to de- feat Lincoln. Inter-School Class Games. IN the class games between the two schools this year, Stadium and Lin- coln broke even. The Lincoln Seniors and Sophomores won their games, while the opposite was true of the Juniors and the Freshmen. From the results of the inter-school class games, it looks as if the teams would be evenly matched. The first game of the series was played in the Stadium between the Freshies of the two schools: The North Side first-year men took the game. The batteries on both teams did good work, but the Lincoln Fresh- ies failed to make connections. The Seniors had no difficulty in landing their game, and Stadium found it hard even to score. The final score was I0-6. Olson and Tenzler, the pitchers for Lincoln and Stadium respectively, did good work, but were not given very good support, and errors were frequent. The Junior game was a heart- breaking atfair, with Lincoln ahead until the last inning, when an over- throw to third let in three Stadium fellows. Luck was all that gave eith- er team scores, for the playing of both teams was loose. The batteries for Stadium were Pearne and Paulik, and for Lincoln, Davies and Peter- son. The Sophomores of the two schools played a close game, with a victory for the Lincoln second-year men. The game was tight until the seventh in- ning, when the pitchers blew up, and the game ended 6-5. Features were plentiful, and Lincoln staged two double and one triple plays. FIRST TEAM BASEBALL GAMES. TWO games have been played in baseball up to the time when this goes to the printer. The first Stadi- um walked away with, the second Lincoln took. The series is very un- certain, but we will do' our best root- ing for Lincoln. nN May 23 the two schools met in the Stadium. The Lincoln boys showed up poorly before the well- trained North End team, and their lack of practice was mainly the cause of the defeat. Stadium showed that she had benefited from her practice games, and played rings around Lin- coln. Doc Adams, of Stadium, pitched a fine game. During the nine in- nings he fanned twelve Lincoln play- ers, and though we hated to see him do it, we cannot help but admire his pitching. Benson, pitching for Lin- coln, had poor luck, and was re- placed by Davies. One of the sur- prises of the game was Paul Wotton's inability to conncet with the ball. He promises better in the future. The final score was ten to three in favor of the Stadium. Stadium got ten hits and made four errorsg while Lincoln made five hits and three er- rors. Danielson and Bell umpired. P8Ke195 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tune The Second Game. THE second game was pulled off on May 29 on the home grounds. With a crippled team, the Lincoln nine took the starch out of Stadium's hopes for a walk-away championship. One of the surprises of the game was the ease with which Lincoln disposed of Doc Adams. Davies for Lincoln pitched a good game, but eased up a bit in the last. Adams, pitching for Stadium, was all right during the first inning, but in the second was easily hit, and four Lincoln players crossed the plate. From then on the game was Lincoln's. For Stadium, Adams, Dyer and Wash- burne did the best work: for Lincoln, Harader, Gardner and Wicken showed up well. Errors weer plentiful on both sides. The score ended with nine runs and seven hits challced up for Lincoln. and six runs and twelve hits for Sta- dium. Stub Nelson umpired. The First Team Players, 1918 LOUIS BEDFORD PAUL WOTTON ED BENSON WALTER HOLLEQUE OSBORN GARDNER ROGER ERICKSON GEORGE DAVIES AUDLEY MAHAFFEY HENRY WICKEN LEO NELSON RALPH POLLEN GEORGE HARADER Other Athletics EVERY one has been so busy this year that some of the athletics of normal times have been dropped. Un- able to get a team together at.all, with no man who had competed against Stadium before, Coach Hen-- nig decided to drop track. This re- sulted in the forfeiture of the cham- pionship to Stadium High. SOCCER ln soccer, Lincoln was beaten by the Stadium boys. Three games were played, and the opponents got away with two of them. To end up the season, we had a fine soccer assem- bly, in which the letters were given out to the boys who had played on the teams. The soccer coach from Camp Lewis and one of the Scotch- men who played on the 9lst Division team, spoke. Mr. Kelley presided. SWIMMING ln swimming, Lincoln was entirely outclassed. The meet held at the Stadium tank resulted in an almost total annihilation of our team. The Stadium boys must be handed the 'bacon for the water sport. They have more enthusiasm over the aquatic game than the Lincolnites, to whom this is not so new. TENNIS. The tennis matches have not been played off when this goes to the printer. lt is probable that this year Lincoln will be defeated, for we have not had as much practice and train- ing as the North End buys. Later, we hope to beat them, as we do in foot- ball and the rest of the major sports. GOLF. There has been no golf tournament between the two schools, as Lincoln has no team. Few of the Lincoln faculty play, and since Major Carter is gone, we have no one to take the lead. After the war, we will show Stadium how to play the game. -'Une THE LINCOLNIAN PBKGI99 The Passing of Lincoln Athletes THIS year as in former years, Lin- coln will lose some of her beat athletes at Commencement. Each year those students who are interested in athletics predict that the teams in the various sports for the next year will be comparatively scrubs. We do not like to take the stand of those sad-faced individuals who see no hope for Lincoln in the future. However, there are some fine athletes graduat- ing this june, and as this is our last chance, we wish to give them some credit for the work they have done in the past year. First on the lips of anyone who knows anything about the athletics of the high school is Eddie Danielson. Although he has not participated in the games for over a year, yet for what he did since he first came to Lincoln four years ago, and for his prominence in athletics outside the high school, he is considered the finest athlete in Lincoln today. He played football for three years and baseball for two. He also played a fine game of basket-ball for Lincoln. lnseparable from Eddie Danielson is Richard Browse, who answers to the name of Bane. He played football and baseball and holds the record for the grin. He tried basket-ball this fall and did good work in the class games. Carl lffert left in February, and at that time Lincoln lost the captain of the basket-ball team, l9l7-l8 and the center of the football team. He is the only first team basket-hall man to leave this year, so the line-up for next year will not be interfered with much. Charles Reveille, George Harader, Earl Kellog, Parker Buck, Cleve Ol- son and Henry Benthien, all first team men in football, graduate, leaving only a few of the football players. Several of the second team players are also Seniors, so football will suf- fer most of any of the sports. Charles Revelle played in the class games in basket-ball, and so did Cl-eve Olson. George Harader, who capzained the wrestling squad, is some grappler, and won his two matches in the inter- school meet. He played on the base- ball team in l9l3. A Cleve Olson has played baseball on the team for two years. He is the only letter man in track. One wrestler besides George Hara- der will leave, and he is julian ffam- iliarly known as Shorty j McMa- hon. He played football and was captain of the Midgets. Paul Wotton, Audley Mahaffey and Walter Holleque, who played on the first team in baseball this year, be- sides Orin Simons and Bernhard Sol- berg, who played last year, but did not turn out this season, will all leave, besides others already men- tioned. But besides these players, Lincoln has many more who will in- sure a good team in future years. Though there are many fine ath- letes leaving this Commencement we feel sure that others will come for- ward in future to take their place, for such has always been the case in the past. Lincoln can not hope to re- tain these players forever, for they must pass over to make room for those who are to come. Former Lincolnites HE following are extracts of let- ters from our boys in the serv- ice. Walter Richmond writes of the many exciting times in the navy: On our last trip we had a new and awful experience. l came back from liberty Friday night. On Satur- day morning we got orders to get un- der way. About ll o'clock in the morning we hoisted anchor and pulled out. We had a tow behind us. It was a diving barge with a crew of five men. We were to take them to New York, where they were to scrape the bottom of the Vaterland. Their boat was 55 feet long and a fairly seaworthy craft. At first we started at slow. only making 40 turns. l was on watch when we left. About 6 o'clock in the morning we got or- ders to make all the speed we possi- bly could. The sea began to get rough and a heavy wind had sprung up. At 8 o'clock l came off watch and started in washing some clothes. l stayed up until ll o'clock wash- ing. The old Don was rolling some- thing fine and we were making 65 turns. At II:I5 a cry came from aft, Man overboardln l ran out on the main deck and word was passed that we had lost the diving barge. There were divers on it at the time. It was a dark night, so much so that we couldn't see anything. They start- ed backing the Don and we had backed almost three-quarters of a mile when we sighted a light about l00 yards from our boat. Our search- light was turned on it. lt was one of the divers with a life preserver on and a flashlight in his hand. We could not make him out very dis- tinctly. They gave us orders to lower a boat and pick him up. Every once in a while a wave would obstruct the view of him. Then his light went out and he was getting further away from us. just as one lifeboat hit the water our searchlight also went out. That was the last we saw of that poor man. We knew there were two oth- ers in the boat, but couldn't imagine how this man got into the water. About I2 o'clock our searchlight was fixed and they circled about and swept the sea with it. We didn't see a thing. At l:30 we saw just one man standing on the boat. We drew up close and the boat was upside down. We lowered a boat and res- cued the only survivor. He had stood waist deep in that iey water and a heavy storm for one and a half hours. Several times he was washed off, but managed to get back on the boat again. This crew of five men were the best divers in the U. S. navy .... l suppose you have seen the papers where a patrol vessel was smashed on the rocks. Well, that was the good old Don. Last Sunday we left Nantucket bound for New Bedford, Mass. l was on watch Sunday night and we were going full speed ahead. We got a bell to helm down to half speed, because we were getting into Two minutes after we had slowed down the boat hadn't lost any and it started jumping. At thought that we had dropped but when we had gone over the length of the boat l knew we were on the rocks. We tried to back up, but couldn't, and the water came rushing into the forward compart- ments. A heavy wind came up and port. speed first l anchor, started the boat ponding. We sent an S. O. S. call and distress signals and also rockets. inside of half an hour there were ten boats standing by us, but afraid to come alongside of us. We got orders to pull all fires but Jlme THE LINCOLNIAN 13882201 one and to keep that one going as long as possible. Our water tight compartments and everything were secured. At ll o'clock I was walk- ing from one fireroom to another when a hole came thru between the boilers. We pulled our last fire and let all the steam go so the boilers wouldn't blow up. Before we were done, the water was waist deep in the fire and engine rooms and every- thing else was covered with I5 feet of water. lt took just I5 minutes for the water to raise to the top of the fireroom hatch after we had left it. All hands were ordered to abandon ship. Several S. P. boats came along- side and took us all ashore-I2 men and 2 officers and the captain. The people of Woods Hole opened their homes to us and we all had a place to sleep. The next morning they sent us back to the boat. She was resting on bottom covered with I0 feet of water. We stripped the boat and all that was left in the engines and boil- ers. They started putting pumps on her and there are now ten altogether. l don't think that they will float her, but if they do l think she will go to the bottom when in deep water. l am on her tonight, standing watch. There are only two of us here, with the water rushing thru and the old thing squeaking. l am glad to say that none of the boys lost their lives, but it sure was close. l lost most of my clothes and 570. but still have a lot to be thankful for. 'wvalter Richmond. Robert Ellsworth, of the Class of l9l7, now in the artillery branch. writes: We are about to complete a most wonderful trip from San Francisco to the Panama Canal. Since we left Puget Sound we have been I0 days on our way to France. lt is more than likely that we will be a month or more. The farther south we go the hotter it gets. That is quite nat- ural of course, but I did not expect to be in such a hot climate this time of the year. It is almost impossible to sleep with any comfort. They say it is l00 degrees in the shade. The latter part of our trip has not been rough and has been rather un- exciting with the exception ,of a few incidents such as seeing whales, tur- tles, flying fish and a great variety of brilliant colored birds. As soon as we rounded Cape Flattery out of Pu- get Sound we met with a rough sea, which lasted all the first day and that night. During that time many of the men were visiting the railing. From the Sound down to San Francisco we were nearly always in view of the coast, but directly after leaving San Francisco Bay we left all traces of land and from then until now the only scenery has been a vast expanse of water with the exception of a few islands which we passed now and then. We haven't seen a boat of any description since we left San Francisco and I don't think they in- tend to meet any more than they ab- solutely have to. We will travel thru the canal by daylight so we will have the opportunity to survey that great construction work and the surround- ing country. We stop at Panama for water and oil only. We are long past the canal now and approaching Norfolk, Virginia. We had a grand trip thru the canal. Upon approaching the isthmus we passed many tropical islands, which were covered with a dense growth of foliage, where one could imagine see- ing monkeys and cocoanut groves. We could see canoes filled with natives. traveling toward Balboa for the pur- pose of changing their products for those of the civilized world. At the entrance of the canal we were quar- PMW202 THE LINCOLNIAN June antined by an officer that came to meet our ship in a launch. We stopped in Balboa just long enough for me to see that the streets are shaded by massive, sheltering palms and the buildings are all white col- ored structures covered with red tiles. lt looked quite cool, but it really was awfully hotl The soldiers at Pedro Miguel made us presents of many useful and rare articles such as mag- azines, cigarettes and matches. The next morning we set out to sea: we received orders to close all portholes and make tight all loose ar- ticles, for we were going into a rough sea. The ship rolled up and down and from side to side. l forgot my stingy disposition and gave forth in abundance. l had to feed every fish within a mile of us. The waves came as high as the top of the deck. l say it was quite unsafe to be any- where but in your bunk. Bob Ellsworth, Ward 7, Base Hospital, Camp Merritt. Service INCE they left school in February, two of the l9I8 graduates have joined the colors. Probably others who leave after Commencement will have their names here next year. fRipJ Revelle, who for some time was a chemist at Sperry's Charles flour mill, is now at one of the forts. He joined the artillery less than a month ago. Parker Buck is one of the latest of our boys to join. He got thru Lincoln in February, and drove a bus to the army post. He joined the navy a few weeks ago, and is now at a training school in California. Walter Moyer, tho not graduating, also has joined the colors. He will be remembered for his good work in athletics, especially basket-ball. Darwin Rogers, who until about a month ago was taking a post-graduate course at Lincoln, is now left-right Notes ing at Camp Lewis. Darwin, tho not a graduate of Lincoln, but rather of our rival school, is as thoroly a Lincolnite as the loudest rooter at B football game. George Hicks, who did not finish, but would have graduated this June, is still at the fort. He was married recently, so here's to George and the wife. Chandos Garner, who also would have been in the Class of l9l8, is on Italian soil. He went across about six weeks ago, with two other Lin- colnites. Ben lVlcCart is the only one of the Class of l9l8 who is in the Expe- ditionary Force in France, so far as we can learn, tho other Lincolnites are there. George Anderson, also l9lS, is in the band at Fort Casey. He tells us that he likes to get The Lincolnian. J'-me THE LINCOLNIAN 9286203 Former Teachers SEVERAL of the teachers who were here a year ago are in various other coast cities, teaching or doing some other line of work. Some have entered the professions which they taught at high school. Two are in the army. Mr. C. F. Mallory taught mechan- ical drawing at Lincoln for two years, and added a course in electricity the third. During the past year he has been in the electrical department of the Carnation Milk Company of Se- attle. Mr. Mallory is a U. of W. graduate. Mr. Nesbitt, the professor of civics and economics and history, and one of the best liked men ever at Lin- coln, is much missed by the Seniors. He is one of the best informed men in the Northwest, and at one time was advertising manager for the Pa- cific Monthly. During the past year he taught in the Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane. Miss White taught cooking and managed the lunchroom, but was un- able to return last fall because of illness. She is now in charge of the county food administration work, teaching housewives how to conserve. Mr. Mullin, the teacher of machine shop work, is at the Bremerton navy yard, where he has worked for the past year. Miss Wilson and Mr. jackson are both in Seattle high schools. Miss Wilson taught Spanish: Mr. jackson. English. I Miss Powell was the art teacher at Lincoln for over two years, when she left to take up a position at the State College. She has been teaching art there the last year. Mr. LaChappelle might be men- tioned in the Service List, for he is with the naval aviation corps at the training school at San Diego, Cali- fornia. Bolly was the wrestling coach until he left. He is a gradu- ate of the U. of W., where he won wrestling laurels. Major Carter we have not heard from of late. This he is in the army. much we know: He visited the school some months ago, but has not been heard from since. Major Carter' is one of the best liked men, having' been wrestling coach and gym teach- er, besides a jokesmith for joke connoisseur, . Alumni THE last weeks of school bring many of the graduates back to visit, and old associations are re- newed. Willard Yerkes, the business man- ager of The Tahoma last year, actor in the class play, and so on, has been attending the normal school at El- lensburg. He intends to become a teacher. Mabel Wilbert has been attending the College of Puget Sound during the past year. Leland Yerkes has been working at the Puget Sound Iron Works for the whole year. He received some train- ing in the foundry line at Lincoln, and has been putting it in practice since. Gordon KO. K., Mscauley visits the school often than any other grad- uate. At present he is in the em- ploy of the Burroughs Adding Ma- chine Company, and he has been try- ing to sell a few to the school. Helen Hammerlin has been teach- ing at the American Lake school. She is a sister to our own Esther. Give us the strength to en- counter that which is to corne, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temper- ate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down the gates of death, loyal and loving, one to another. --- Stevenson I ' r was I Ambitious T has been with no little difiiculty that the staff has been able to gather together these statistics, which show what various gradu- ates desire most to accomplish in life. The reader must recog- nize the labor expended on the canvass in order to properly appre- ciate them, for it was very hard, in some cases, to get into the inner feelings of the subject' The results, we believe, justify the work expended. RALPH WHITNEY: I want to learn the ways of one woman, so that I may some day become a most glorious hero, by marrying. My ambition is rather blonde, with two cute little curls hanging down behind. GLADYS ANSEN: To enter the movies and play opposite Jack Pickford is my heartfelt wish. CLEVE OLSON: I want to live on a beautiful isle where eats are plentiful and no fair maids dwell. MARIE GIESCH: I want to learn what kind of pie he likes best, so that I can learn to make them to perfection before the great event takes place. If he's human, his 'love comes thru his stomach. PEARL THOMPSON: To live in peace and quietness on the old farm where the new-mown hay sends its incense to soothe the tired soul, is the height of my ambition. PAUL WOTTON: I hope to stay home with mama and be a good boy, bring in the wood and wipe the dishes. FLORENCE DOYLE: My greatest desire is to learn the dramatic art and return to Lincoln and take charge of a course in vaude- ville training. BEATRICE GALLOWAY: I hope to become the first wife of some man and to always be good-natured on account of my one dis- advantage. Believe me, those who say I haven't poise are off. I have as much Cavoirdul poise as Ralph. HENRY BENTHIEN: I have an ambition to be of great service in reform work, and I intend to make red the most popular color among the fair sex.

The Over-Agriculturecl Man. IN the battered old chairs in front of the one little hotel of Pocateladunk, lounged the idliers of the community, some lazily puffing pipes or cigarettes. and others just twirling their thumbs over that region of their anatomic! harboring the stomach. Reckon the crops will be well nigh burnt up if we don't get a rain soon, drawled one of the loungers. Much you know about them things, Cy, another remarked. You don't go near any place where there might be some work. Now, Jimmy, the matter with yew is that yew find too much fault with ever'body but yerself, Cyrus drawled out. And so the conversation ran on. Half an hour later, the train pulled up to the little red station across the road. One solitary traveler alighted. He was a thin, rather tall, rather queer looking specimen. He wore a panama hat, a blue coat, white trousers, spats, and white shoes. On his thin nose rested a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. On his wrist was strapped an lngersoll. ln his hand he carried a cane. lmmediately, new discussions arose in the forum in front of the little hotel. Who was this stranger? Various guesses had it that he was one of the idle rich, a wrist-watch salesman, an author or poet, a painter, a spy. But the strange character which upset the little town of Pocateladunk walked briskly past the line of chairs and turned the corner below. He pro- ceeded to the garage and livery stable, where he rentd the one rather ancient Ford. TWO hours passed. Then there came wild news. There had been a great accident. There was a smash-up. There was a collision. The Ford auto- mobile belonging to Smith's livery stable had been totally wrecked! As a body, the forum of the Pocateladunk hotel left for the scene of the disaster. There they found a huge crowd Qfor Pocateladunkl of seven men, two women, and twelve small boys gathered around the wreck. Give him air! shouted Cyrus, always keeping his head. The crowd pushed back. There on the road, the Ford had fallen to pieces, and beneath the wreckage was the strange stranger. Two of the forum stooped to lift him up. His lips opened, and all the watchers stopped breathless to listen. Slowly the words came: Agricultur+is the Art--the Science-and- the-Business of-producing plants-and animals for-Economic purposes. 91189216 THE. LINCOLNIAN -711112 He sank back into the arms of the men supporting him. Three minutes passed slowly. Then again he opened his lips: Push your work--and don't let your work push you! -B. I. G. II. The Popular Girl. SHE was Exquisitely Pretty. l ln her Freshman year she had to keep a Calendar of her Dates and Split up her Evenings to accommodate all. Her admirers were as Numerous as the Boys at the Army Post. She was Tremendously Popular, and she Deserved to be. . Her popularity continued into her Sophomore year. Her Governor was Talking of hiring her a Secretary to keep account of her Engagements. Her Small Brother suggested that she could Start a Floral and Candy shop. But just then there came a Falling Off. It had Nothing to do with the War. Many a long Hour she then spent Alone while the other Less Popular girls were going out to Parties and Dances. lt was not her Fault. It was not the boys' fault.

ONLY INDEPENDENT TACOMA PAPER The Eternal arnoutlage No. 73. JUNE, 1921. Vol. '18 GREATEST LAUNCHING IN TACOMA THIS YEAR Big Class Makes Plunge-Mrs. McQuesten Is Sponsor. Amid wild hurrahing and the mixed strains of jazz and music, the Class of Nineteen Eighteen will make their plunge into the dark wa- ters of life on June 14. The Class is the fourth to take to life from the ways of the Lincoln High -School in- stitution, which is building futures for the students of Tacoma. The day will be bright and beauti- ful, the weather man promises. For the last week we have been having ideal weather, after the storm of the week of June 3-7, and the meteoro- logical expert predicts a long spell of the best possible weather. When the Class is launched at 8:15 on June 14, the tide will be at his highest. W. W. Parker to Give Address. The address of the evening is be- ing prepared by Principal W. W. Parker. He plans to speak of the four years which it took to build up this class into the magnificent struc- ture which it now is. He will also speak somewhat on the future of 'the Class after its begins its journey on the rough ocean of life. Mrs. McQuesten to Sponsor. Mrs. McQuesten, the vice-president of the Tacoma School Board, which holds the contract for building the classes at the Lincoln High plant, will act as sponsor. Immediately after breaking the diplomas over the brows of the students, the orchestra will strike up the martial air of Over There, and the Class will gracefully slide into the waters. . PROMINENT ARTIST IS ACCUSED OF CRUELTY R. Eugene-Fremont Whitney Is Ar- rested for Unwarranted Brutality Toward Freshman Class. HANGS FRESHMAN IN EFFIGY The world-renowned artist, R. Eu- gene-Fremont Whitney, has been summoned to appear in court for an alleged hanging in eiiigy of the Freshman class. According to the complainants, Mr. Whitney has acted in an utterly surprising manner in the last week. It is claimed that, with the aid of some unknown con- federates, Whitney camouflaged a dummy papoose, once used in the production of the Captain of Ply- mouth, and hung a sign beneath, bearing the legend, The Class of 1921. This Whitney, with his fel- low criminals, suspended from the lofty grid over the stage of the High School auditorium, before a multi- tude of students engaged in the peaceful pursuit of learning. The famous detective, A. Otten- heimer, a member of the Class of 1921, has been detailed by Professor Schartow, head of the Mounted Po- lice, to investigate the crime, and it is expected that he will soon gather the convicting proof. - Professor Davies, the juvenile of- ficer of the first floor, will make the arrest in case Mr. Whitney refuses to appear in court. The star witness for the prosecu- tion is Miss Florence Doyle, who, it is alleged, was an eye-witness to the dastardly deed of the supposedly re- spectable artist. The case is to ap- pear in Judge Rogers' court on June 23. Page220 ' THE ETERNAL CAMOUFLAGE June' . 1f44-:-3-:-D19'C- :1-o-Q-o-cc-ze: c:Le.Qo-Q-ee.:-:4-: :-Q-Q-rcxerzlg-Q-o-Q-Q-o-Q..

After having spent four long years at the front, Walter Hessert has returned home. He has had many strange adventures in the past gassing. Four years ago, Hessert left his Tacoma home for the front trenches, and he has passed thru the entire period without a wound. His record is one of the most remarkable in the history of the school. Just before starting home, after the expiration of his enlistment, he was caught by the deadly H2S gas of the enemy, but he is none the worse for his ex- perience.

With the inner humility of spirit such as is deep rooted in the most invertebrategmollusks, we present for the first time this issue of The Eternal Camouflage. We await with extreme palpitation of the organ which circulates the rosy-colored corpuscles the decision of you. Oh most gentle of perusalers. We have attempted to present the news in the most aggreable and ut- terly pleasant a manner as IS pos- sible with what news as we have. We have employed the most efiicient staff which it is possible to secure owing to the war. We have tried to not allow war news to take prece- dence over items of more local 1m- portance. So, Oh dearest of readers, have a little mercy and appreciation. QUERIES AND QUEER EASE By Miss Doo Lyttle. Q. Dear Miss Doo Lyttle: I have just been married to a sergeant in the national army, and the one thing which he likes above all other is a hot biscuit. Now, I must. confess that I never made a hot biscuit in my life. VVhat will I do? Mrs. M. P. R. A. I would advise you to borrow one biscuit from the lunch room. One will be all that you need. him on that,' and if his appetite sur- vives, all hope will be gone. Q. I have often read your advice to young ladies, Miss Doo Lyttle, and have admired your good sense. Therefore I write to you, in hopes that you can help me in my dith- culty. I have up to now been un- successful in winning the affection of a certain S-- Gi B-- Jr. I am a fluent talker, and try to make our conversations pleasantly conversational. Tell me how I can captivate him. Esther H. A. You have made the mistake of believing that when you talk you are carrying on a conversation, whereas it is a monologue. Men like to talk for themselves.

June THE ETERNAL SOCIETY AND MUSIC Social Lion Is Engaged-Edw One of the most brilliant events of the season was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Esther Hammerlin and Edwin Danielson, both of this city. Mr. Danielson is one of the popular young athletes of the city, and is widely known. Miss Hammerlin is a leader in the younger set, and is noted for her activity in debating circles. The date of the wedding has not yet been set, but every one expects it to take place next June. The an- nouncement came as a complete sur- prise to every one. for not even the closest relatives knew of it until Miss Hammerlin let it out. in Danielson Caught at Last. a .g.. .Tl.....T.i POPULAR SOPRANO SINGS HERE.

Slugging Milly Anderson Wid- ens Gap Between Herself and Next Highest Batter. Still playing a superb game of baseball, Milly Anderson, better known as Slugging Milly, is topping the league batting column again this week. Paul Wotton has dropped into third place, and Leo Nelson rises to second. The Purl-Two shortstop is knock- ing them around the field at the rate of .487 now, and still going up. Last week she had an average of only .453, and at that time Wotton was next with .445. This new order comes as a surprise to all sport critics, as it was predicted that Slugging Milly would fall down. In the base-stealing list, Slugging Milly again leads, with a total of 5 for the week, bringing the total for the season to 37. .-.- . BIG FISTIC BATTLE ON NEXT WEDNESDAY Battling Molly Clark to Meet Slug- ging Nancy Hedberg. Next Wednesday night, when the gon rings at 8:15, Battling Molly and Slugging Nancy will mix in. They will enter the ring at 9691 pounds. Thousands are expected to throng to the hall to see the spec- tacle. Both of the fighters have been in strict training for over a month, sacrificing pies and candies in order to be in the pink of condition, which their trainers, Frances Cavanaugh and Ada Harkness, assure us they are. Followers of the fistic game have been waiting a long time for this encounter between Battling Molly and Slugging Nancy. It is unques- tionable that the crowd will be a record breaker. Miss Ericson will referee, and her right hand man, Professor Schartow, will hold the watch. GFINALS IN THE MARBLE TOURNAMENT. Leo Nelson to Meet Albert Otten- heimer.

Every one had conceded to Sam Baker the place in the finals against the present champion, but Leo easily walloped Sam to the tune of 7-2. More interest has been taken in the marble game this year than any other. It is likely that in the future we may expect to see it placed among the major sports. Professor Malone and Miss Townsend have been coaching this year. and under their training, some reallyfnarvelous work has been done.

There'd be enough, too, to give one or two to members of the family, and we venture to say that mother and father wouldn't object to this a bit.

We must have the 3 1: sin of it off our mind. But the pie was pretty good, and the moose 2 was delicious. We did not regret it. 8 Q Some will remember the time we discovered the use and misuse of 0 il hydrogen di-sulphide. There was a confederate in the scheme, a man 'l jf higher up. He sits at the teacher's desk in 3l8. Mr. Hawkes should ll suffer in the final reckoning along with the rest of us. He was the 0 one who taught us the use of the foul gas. I :I So, with free conscience that we have confessed all our crimes it and instructed the rising generation in the duties and dependencies :r upon them, we go forth on our purpose of conquest. May those who ll are to follow show the same kindly spirit toward the underclassmen, I: the same brilliance in scholastic activities, the supremacy in athletic ff competition, and all the other recommendations which can be found z It between A and Z in the dictionary. 1+ So we say, this is Q THE F1N1s.
