The North Pacific College, established in 1898, is devoted exclusively to Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Pharmacy. It may safely be said that no school in America has better facilities for the training of young men and women for successful professional careers. The rapid advance made by the North Pacific College among educational institutions of America is shown by the fact that during the present year, 1913-14, no fewer than 33 American states are represented in the student body, in addition to several Canadian provinces and nine foreign countries. The new fireproof building will accommodate more than 800 students. It is one of the best lighted buildings on the Pacific Coast. The location close to the heart of the city, convenient to libraries, clubs, large business houses and public buildings which contribute so much to the life of the student. The new hospital for patients requiring work in oral surgery and correction of deformities is now open to the public. Applicants for unconditional matriculation to the course in Dentistry must present evidence of having received preliminary education equivalent to an accredited high school course, or fifteen units (thirty credits). In Pharmacy the requirement is the equivalent of two years of high school, or eight units (sixteen credits). The annual session begins October 1st. An illustrated catalog of information will be sent upon application to The Registrar, North Pacific College, East Sixth and Oregon Sts., Portland, Ore.

Spring’s green witchery is weaving Braid and border for thy side; Grace forever haunts thy journey, Beauty dimples on thy tide; Through the purple gates of morning Now thy roseate ripples dance, Golden then, when, day departing, On thy waters trails his lance. Waltzing, flashing, tinkling, splashing, Limpid, volatile, and free— Always hurried to be buried In the bitter, moon-mad sea. On the roaring waste of ocean Shall thy scattered waves be tossed; ’Mid the surges’ rhythmic thunder Shall thy silver tongues be lost. 0! thy glimmering ru h of gladness Mocks this turbid life of mine! Racing to the wild Forever Down the sloping paths of time. Onward ever, lovely river, Softly calling to the sea, Time that scars us, maims and mars us, Leaves no track or trench on thee. —Samuel L.

The class of 1914 began its High School course in 1910 with an enrollment of sixty-three,—perhaps the most intelligent and intellectual human beings ever found in an institution of learning. During the first year our time was so occupied with the work necessary in helping the faculty run the new High School, that we partially overlooked the social side of our school life. Alt ho we enjoyed a few parties during the year, most of our spare time and energy was spent on our books. But at the beginning of our Sophomore year we turned the responsibility of running the school over to the Freshmen and with Loretta Humphrey as President, Glen Macy as Vice-President, Maude McGogy as Secretary, Jennie McVicker as Treasurer, and Walter Corpron as Imperious, we organized our class and with our brand new constitution, got down to business and began to show the other classes how class organizations should be managed. Our second semester’s officers were: President, Harry White, Vice-President, Theo. Duncan, Secretary, Ellis Van Atta, Treasurer, Lyman Lat-ourette, and Imperious, Frederick Miller. Altho we spent the major portion (?) of our time with our books, we found time to make use of the various halls of the city for our class “feeds” and also to take a trip to The Locks. At the beginning of our Junior year we were even more businesslike (since we were more grown up and were beginning to feel the dignity of our position ) We met and organized our class the very first week of school, electing as our officers: President, Maude McGogy, Vice-President, Eugene Babcock. Secretary-Treasurer, Ellis Van Atta, and Imperious, Maude Brixy, and before the first month was over the Junior Class had spent a very pleasant evening at Flynn’s Hall, in getting acquainted. Lest we seem to have been spending our time too frivolously, we must mention the fact that we also met the first month and decided to put out the High School Annual and elected Dale Porter, Editor-in-chief, and Walter Corpron, Business Manager, and they appointed as their staff, Literary Editor, LaVersa Mc-Coskey, Local and Alumni Editor, Maude McGogy, Athletic Editor, Glen Macy, Social Editor Maude Brixy, and Art Editor, McMinnville, Oregon 23 Dada Rhodes. With this efficient staff and the help of the whole class, The Lincolnian was printed, sold, and—paid for. Altho between German and Latin, Geometry and Physics, our time was well filled, still we found the opportunity to enjoy ourselves at the various parties, to take our annual trip to the Lafayette Locks, and also to entertain the Seniors at a reception at the High School building, just before they took their departure into the world. Seniors:—As soon as we got partially used to our high position and were able to walk around without hitting our heads on the ceiling, we met and elected as our Senior officers, President, Ellis Van Atta, Vice-President, Walter Arthur, Secretary-Treasurer, Maude Brixey, and Imperious, Theo. Duncan. On account of our dignity and serious mindedness we did not waste much time frivolously but spent several social evenings together during the year. The second semester the class met and unanimously reelected the officers of the previous semester. The present Senior class has always been well represented in all phases of school life. When the A. S B. was first organized, our class, (then Sophomores) was well represented among the officers by LaVersa McCoskey, President, Helen Cunningham, (then a Freshman but since added to our ranks) Secretary, and Glen Macy as Treasurer. The next year found us again holding the principal offices, with Walter Corpron, President, Glen Macy, Treasurer, and Walter White, Sergeant-at-arms; while this year Glen Macy was elected President, William Snyder, Vice-President, and Maude McGogy, Secretary, but the President and Secretary decided to enter the School of Osteopathy at Los Angeles, so the Vice-President took the chair and Helen Cunningham was elected Secretary. Nor has the class of 1914 lacked representatives on the athletic fields. During our first year there were no interclass contests because of a lack of students to take part; yet all the school teams were made up of members of our Freshmen class with the exception of a few men. The second year conditions were about the same but our Sophomore baseball team was victorious over the rest of the school. While we were Juniors we succeeded in winning all events on Field Day (when the Freshmen were served soup.) We did not go in for much else because all our best men were playing on the first teams and were thus ruled out of interclass contests. In our Senior year we tied for championship in football, but lost out in basketball. We had eleven men out of the eighteen on the first football team, and 24 THE LINCOLNIAN five out of the first eight on the first basketball team. This is the way our boys have “done things” ever since our class entered High School. Our class now numbers forty-six; tho we have gained several each year, a great many have left us, some lost by the way, some to enter Medical Schools, some to Schools of Osteopathy, some to O. A. C., and some have launched into the unknown sea of matrimony. The Seniors wish to express their appreciation to the faculty, for the help and encouragement given them thruout the four years of their High School life. L. M. ’14. McMinnville, Oregon 25 Senior jingles The kindest heart in all the class is “Sid Who even mumps gave to his lass. Old “Bill” Snyder is a merry old soul; With his little wooden hammer he raps control. “Muckle” Ford is good on debate; His assembly speeches are something great. Oh, Loche Mardis, you’re good at guessing, For why the grades when you have no lesson? In size “Snud” Van Atta is almost O (Naught); But yet this size gives food for thought. Oh, a dainty little lady Is our charming Miss McCrady. We know Ruby Miller is not so small; For, zounds! she takes up nearly half the hall. Floyd Osborne, boy, you are a shark On singing Latin like a lark. (?) Dale Porter is the tallest and the nicest boy in class, Oh, Dale, 'tis pity, pity, that you are such an-lobster Frank Fox’s ways are mild,—suggest the blushing maid; And when the girls come near, away you see Frank fade. Miss Dada Rhodes: Her eyes are blue, she has a winning smile; She’ll get your heart yet, my boy, just you wait awhile. Evelyn Macy holds a warm place in our hearts and drives away dull care, I s’pose, Miss Evelyn, it is because you keep yourself so spare. Oh, Misses Antrim, Duncan, Short, you’ll each a teacher be, To pound the kids and make ’em howl; to make ’em dance with glee. 26 THE LINCOLNIAN “Walt” Arthur, know, your monkey shines are all that we can bear; And on your head our wrath will fall, if thou dost not beware. I have a hunch that sooner or later a doctor will be that “Earnie” Bills; For already he’s an expert on makin’ “leetle” pills. On Maude Brixey’s cheek is a bewitching dimple; Why she is so bewitching, ’tis perfectly simple. In our Student Body meetings, Helen Cunningham doth write Lengthy notes of our proceedings on the pages fair and white. Our racy Richard Flynn with his long and bony shin, With track opponents knows just how to rub it in. Irene Hulett, thine endearing charms, in song, We fain would sing throughout the ages long. Esther’ll be a school ma’am, and her sist.ei ’ll form a truce With some nice young feller what’s got lots 'o spruce. Into the well of love fell Lyman; But naught can extricate this Simple Simon. The way that Mina Hickok rides a “bike,” Makes one think of “Motorcycle Mike.” We know that Rosina and Lydia study until they know it; For always in class these little cousins show it. The brains you have, Glen Martin, oh, dear! You got through school in half a year. Frank Sitton’s eyes are blue, his hair is like the sun, And he’s quite charming, is this little one. “You’re living too fast,” says I to Paul Whirry, But all he ever says is, “I should bibble.” Glen Stewart sits on a back seat in chemistry, And tests the teacher’s clemency. Papl Sitton made his debut in football this year, The way he played drove many an enemy to shed a tear. McMinnville, Oregon 27 Ellen Michelbook’s not much larger than a rook, But a shy little maiden, withal, at whom we’re pleased to look. Lee Waugaman studies exceedingly hard, But, oh, ye gods! that awful “report card.” John, the elder, “Bob” the younger; thus the Mannings go; And each’s a “brick,” O Stephen, don't che know! Seein’ as how “Nig” Corpron knows the “game,” We guess he’ll wake some morn, with his name in the Hall of Fame. Carl Kohzelman’s got bushy hair and a soft voice; If he’d get rid of both of these, we’d all rejoice. Elvin Houck’s got everybody beaten a mile, For he’s always wearing a sublime, sweet smile. Alvin Stormer’s quiet and rather inoffensive; But since he’s got a girl, you can’t say “inexpensive.” Always wearing a cheerful grin, In all our hearts, La Versa lets the sunshine in. Lois Martin is a winning debutant, And she says to all the boys, “G’wan!” “G’wan!” (?) When Lyle gets mad, he acts sort o’ like a mule; And finds it hard to keep the Golden Rule. 28 THE LINCOLNIAN MARTIN PETERSON With proper training this lad will become a fifty-fourth Cicero. Athletic Editor Lincolnian’14 Class Fresident ’14. ROSA MANNING “Never let a sorrow enter your mind.’’ EMMET EVANS Stubbornness and determination will win for this lad. Editor-in-Chief Lincolnian’14 ELAINE DANIELS “I live in solitude and profit by it.” ESTHER MILLER A chatter-box of the worst type. McMinnville, Oregon 29 MAYBELLE WAGNER “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.’' Alumni Editor Lincolnian ’14 VERNE HENRY “Blessed is he that studies, for all things shall be added unto him who shall seek after knowledge.” Business Manager Lincolnian '14. HAZEL RANGE “Man will be the victim of my campaign.” LURA RUSSEL “Admirers do not turn my head.” CECIL PARKER If silence were riches I’d be a mighty poor man. 30 THE LINCOLNIAN EDNA BOREMAN Reckless, careless, dashing and smashing. DALE MILLER “My brain is much too small to suit my needs.” MADGE ECKMAN A hidden treasure of knowledge exists here. Literary Editor Lincolnian ’14 MYRON SHERWOOD “Mike” rushes i n where others fear to tread. CLARA JACOBSON “Sensibleness is the founda tion of success. McMinnville, Oregon 31 CLIFFORD ALDERMAN An advocate of the theory that the pen is mightier than the mouth. MADALENE LOGAN A queer and mysterious maiden. HUBERT LITTLE My path in life is covered with pitfalls and temptations. LETTA BURKS She brings cheery greetings to all who know her. Art Editor Lincolnian ’14. Class Vice-President ’14. CALLIE HATCHER “No cloud darkens the shad ow of my ambition.” 32 THE LINCOLNIAN ICY BRYAN Small brains have a large range of influence. VINCENT HILARY “It is a difficult job to elongate my sphere of learning.” VERNA GARNER A refined specimen of feminine curiosity. EARL RICHARDSON “I live that I may learn and become a shark.” FLORENCE JENSEN “I am ruled by the influence of others.” McMinnville, Oregon 33 GLADYS HATCHER She might be characterized as gentle, kind and good. Social Editor Lincolnian ’14. HELEN ANDERSON “Bashfulness is the one bright spot of my life.” MINA REDMOND A kind and true friend to all. MERLIN CHRISTENSEN The blush of blooming youth still marks him. EDGAR REEVES “A kind and gentle heart he has. To comfort friends and foes; The naked every day he clads When he puts on hisclothes.” 34 THE LINCOLNIAN ROSE CARTER Learned something but said nothing. EMMA SCHREIBER “ A wise idea in the head is worth two in the book.” FRANK HAUSER Tends to his own business and ignores society. MARY MANNING “I hold the dignity of being the largest part of the Junior class.” IVAN PEARSON Has the most bored expression in school. McMinnville, Oregon 35 MARY HACKETT Blonde and extremely suffra. gette in character. ROY LOOP An authority on many things but master of none. LUELLA DAVIDS “Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.” ELMER POOLE “I came, I saw, but German conquered.” EVA ALFREY Studious, silent and independent. 36 THE LINCOLNIAN Juniors Three years of persistent mental and physical speculating has made us true Juniors. From the Freshman stage upward we readily absorbed those complex systems of mathematics, en-glish, history, etc., without any psychological research which might have disturbed the equilibrium of our minds. We have thus far solved the inevitable problems of school life and our object is to leave useful ideals that future classmen may inherit with pessimistic serenity. Specifically speaking, our class is the smallest in school, but taken theoretically we possess the same amount of competitive spirit as the other classes. In literary and athletic enterprises talent is available at all times, and notable achievements have been undertaken that will be recorded permanently as divine standards. Literary activities present no impediment to the progress of the class. Debators, orators and phantom philosophers are numerous. In a moment of intense rivalry such speakers as Parker and Waugaman influence the nonchalant sentiment by their grandiloquent oratory. Mr. Parker is especially recognized as an authority on baseball and its advantages. In athletics we are superior to all except the Seniors. Three men received the football letter for the 1913 season and we can sanely declare that Dale Miller is unrivaled on the gridiron, where he is anything but a pygmy. Basketball would be an impossibility without the Juniors. Four first team players come from the class. Interclass contests proved that second class athletic material was present. The Seniors were unable to defeat us in football after a period of vain boasting. Consequently it is probable that most of the athletic material developed next year will come from the present Junior class. Next year we will be Seniors and altho we cannot maintain the excellent ability and talent of the graduating class, a phenomenal effort will be put forth regardless of that persistent repugnance that is always present. McMinnville, Oregon 37 Nature’s Book. I cannot begin to tell you, Of the wonderful things to see In the book that Mother Nature Has prepared for you and me. Of the beautiful pictures she’s painted In colors so gay and bright, Of the birds, and the trees, and the sunshine, And the beauties of pensive Night. We can only stand still and wonder As her book is revealed to our eyes, A new leaf turned each morning, As we gaze on the lighted skies. Yet the story the book tells us is simple, Is that of the progress of time And the whole wide world together Turns only a page at a time. G. H. T5. Lonesomeness. The night was dark, the moon was full; Stars were gleaming white. Deepening shadows formed and fled, And vanished thru the light. Gently, gently, blew the wind, The trees were softly sighing; While faintly came the midnight call, A bird of night was crying. Nature seemed in blissful sleep, Silence reigned supreme; Peacefulness will conquer all, The dreamer and the dream. Lonesomeness, it garbs the night, Action lies in sweet repose; The thots of day are put aside. And life forgets its joys and woes. C. A. ’15. McMinnville, Oregon 39 The Sophomore Class The present Sophomore Class is noted in more ways than one. Last year we were the largest class in school and we still hold that distinction. It is said that results are what show the real worth of anything, consequently, to prove our just claim to distinction we submit this small account of our “results. Socially, we are not behind the times. Three parties, beside a joint party with the Juniors, were held, and it is needless to add, very much enjoyed. The fact that we escaped last year without giving a program was not a sign that we were incapable of furnishing a good entertainment, and coming years will show that that instance was an omen, sign, portent, or whatever you wish to call it, of our coming greatness. Because we have done but little in athletics does not mean that we are backward. We believe the world will be benefited more by intellectual peers than by star athletes. However, we have some promising track material, and are willing to sacrifice our lessons if need be to keep up the reputation of our school. The Sophomore Class was ably represented on the debating team. Our members are prominent in student body meetings and as members of committees. No one will dispute the fact, that our present yell leader, Jesse Nunn, is the most efficient leader the school ever had. But this is no wonder, for he is a Sophomore. George Jamison is always ready to make suggestions in the student body meetings. It might also be added that he has secured quite a reputation as illustrator and cartoonist. The summing up of the things we have accomplished causes us to feel a great pity for the rooks. Think! If they had only received their start in life a year sooner they might have been numbered among the brightest class in school—the Sophomores. 40 THE LINCOLNIAN ‘•'Once a Freshman was wrecked on an African coast, Where a cannibal monarch held sway; And they served up that Freshman in slices on toast. On the eve of that very same day. “But the vengeance of Heaven followed swift on the act. And before the next morning was seen, By the cholera morbus that tribe was attacked, For the Freshman was dreadfully green.’’ McMinnville, Oregon 41 Freshmen The Freshmen class of 1913-14 has been one of the strongest classes that has ever entered M. H, S. We came into High School with a determination to succeed and intend to carry this out. We are proud to mention the officers of our class for the first semester. They are, Loyd Shawver, president; Bessie Converse, secretary; Monema Wood, treasurer; and Kirk Walling, sergeant-at-arms. On account of the resignation of Loyd Shawver as president and the absence of William Manley, vice-president, Joseph Eckman was elected president and Flora Maloney, vice-president for the second semester. The officers of the class have helped in every way to build it up and make it a success. The Freshmen have not only an unlimited knowlegeof books but also have made good in athletics. Our basketball team defeated the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, thereby winning the school championship. People may now look for the future basketball team of M. H. S. to be developed from the present Freshmen team of 1913-14. We cannot only play basketball but also football as any Sophomore will tell you. The Sophs., especially, were very docile this year when we gave the one great party of the year on Hallowe’en Eve. They evidently remembered the trials they encountered last year and thought of the dreadful punishment they would receive at the hands of the Freshmen boys, if any of the purposed invasions were carried out. We have enjoyed the pleasures of Freshmen life and with pleasant anticipations hope to enter the career of a Sophomore with added courage and experience.

Miss McVicker, now known as Mrs. Kyle, and Miss Shirk, as Mrs. Shafer, are taking a course in domestic science in little homes for two, the former at Florence, Oregon, and the latter at Edin, Idaho. Their obedient pupils, namely Mary Wood Ellis, '13, Lewis Braly, '12, and Cyril Webber, '13, having been influenced by their teachers, have followed their examples. 44 THE LINCOLNIAN Henderson Rock Three boys lay basking in the sunlight on the rock ledge above the swimming pool. “They say,” said one of the boys, presently, “that this is where the outlaw Henderson made his last stand.” “Yep,” replied another, “my dad told me that when Henderson saw he was cornered and nothing to do but give up or be shot, he picked up a big rock and dove from the ledge, and never came up.” “Isn’t it grand,” continued the first boy, whose name was Tom Hastings, “to have a swimmin’ hole where you know somebody really drowned?” The smallest of the three boys a brother of Tom, who had not spoken, shuddered visibly at this. “Oh, Harry, you little coward! can’t you ever get over being scared by such things?” continued Tom. .“I’ll show you just how he did it,” and picking up a rock which he could scarcely lift, he staggered to the brink and dove in, unheeding the cries of his sensitive brother. The two remaining boys gazed eagerly into the water. Their eagerness changed to admiration as the time passed. Tom must be making a wonderful dive. Then fear gripped them and they realized that their companion was gone. Drowned just as Hen derson had been years before. The little boy began to sob bitterly for his lost brother. The other turned to him quickly: “Run, tell your folks, Harry. I’ll stay here and watch. He may come up yet.” The lone boy stood looking into the depths, but not a ripple, not a bubble gave indication of the whereabouts of his lost friend. Little Harry returned, followed by his frightened mother and father and several neighbors. A rope with a grappling hook was let down but nothing was brought up, save an occasional chunk of rotten wood. Night came on and no trace had yet been found of the missing boy. The grave father turned to his neighbors and said: “If one of you will stay with me, we’ll build a fire here and watch, and the rest of you can go home. I must stay for the body might rise.” McMinnville, Oregon 45 John Phillips, a muscular young farmer, quickly volunteered and the others departed, a sorrowful procession, to escort the mother home. Night drew on. The two men sat silently by the fire and gazed out upon the stream. The father was under a terrible strain and the sympathetic neighbor knew no better comfort than to leave him to his own thoughts. “It’s queer,” said the father, after a time, “that two such happenings should occur here. You remember that Henderson sank in this very place and never came up. There was talk at the time of sending for a diver to And him but the state paid the reward so nothing came of it.” Presently, as the two sat watching, a white arm appeared above the surface of the water, close inshore, followed by the head and shoulders of Tom Hastings. A faint cry was barely audible above noises of the night and the figure struggled weakly toward the ledge. ‘ My God!” cried Phillips, “a ghost!” But Mr. Hastings had leaped up and just as his son’s head was sinking beneath the water he grasped the outstretched hand and drew the limp body to land. The two men worked over the body for some time before being encouraged by any sign of life. The warmth of the fire, however, and the resuscitating measures at last brought about the de.-ired effect and Tom groaned weakly, opening his eyes. The father then sent his helper to break the news to the mother, while he remained alone with his son. He wondered greatly at the miracle which had brought his son alive from the water, after being submerged for hours, but he dared not disturb him with questions. The news spread quickly and soon men, women, and children were flocking from all sides to the scene, speculating excitedly the while on the mysterious delivery of the boy from his watery grave. Finally the boy began to speak faintly and all drew near to hear. “When I dove,” he said, “I tried to make bottom. It must have been a long way for my breath was nearly gone when I touched. I grasped some sand in one hand to show the fellows and struck out for the surface. My lungs were fairly bursting and my eyes felt as though they would pop out. I clenched my teeth and swam desperately. Then something struck my head and I knew no more. When I came to I could not imagine where 46 THE LINCOLNIAN I was. It was pitch dark but by feeling with one hand I found that my chest was resting on a ledge of rock, while my feet hung down in deep water. A few inches above my head was a solid wall of rock. “I managed to draw myself out of the water and after resting for a few moments, started to explore the cave, for such I was now aware it must be. Evidently in my hurry to reach the top I had gone under the rock and up a crevice to the surface. I found by groping around that the cavern was very small. One end became too narrow for me to follow and I surmised that it must be connected with the outer world or there would be insufficient supply of air. After vainly making the cave re-echo with shouts, I gave up and returned to the water. Here lay my only chance of escape. “I lowered my body into the crevice and felt with my feet to see how the walls extended. Then I drew myself up; braced my feet and dove with all my strength. I reached the surface just as my breath gave out. You know the rest.” “I wonder where Henderson is now,” remarked John Phillips as he stamped meditatively upon a rock. McMinnville, Oregon 47 Cram! Cram! Cram! Cram! Cram! Cram! ’Tis the same old slogan I hear, And I would that all the mid-semesters Were banished, with all their fears. Oh, well for the upper classmen So well versed in ancient lore. But alas! for the poor little Freshman Who recites on the lower floor. And the world-wise Senior lives on With never a doubt in his breast, But oh! ’tis the innocent Freshman Who with these haunting visions is blest. Cram! Cram! Cram! In fear of Miss Vaughn or McKee, But those study periods spent in play Will never come back to thee! H. C. ’14. Anowana It was just past midnight on a frosty winter’s morning in the year 18—. The inhabitants of the small fortress of F———— were all sleeping soundly after a hard day’s work. The French THE LINCOLNIAN 48 and Indian War was at its height; white men were killing Indians whenever they could and Indians were massacring the whites. But the fortress of F—------had not yet been disturbed by the red men and the guards were perhaps not quite as cautious as they might have been. Suddenly, out upon the clear air rose the cry, ‘Fire!! Fire!! Fire! !” The startled town was soon all excitement as men hurried here and there, trying to quench the ever increasing blaze which had been started by the Indians. Blood-curdling war cries came from the other side of the wall to make the hysterical white people even more fully aware of their fate. In another hour, the place where the fortress had stood was just a pile of ashes. All the brave settlers had decided it was better to burn with their settlement than to go out to be killed by the Indians. Yet one small girl of two years had, in the midst of the fury, escaped her mother’s attention and clambered thru a small hole in the wall, of which she alone knew. On the outside, the red men were occupied with throwing their firebrands and yelling their war crys. But one old squaw, the wife of the chieftain, had ventured nearer to the fire than the other squaws, and, finding the little mite of humanity, could not be cruel enough to give her up to the warriors. So the squaw took her home to her wigwam, dressed her as an Indian child and told the chief that an Indian woman died during the fire and left the little girl. So it was that the white child, whom the chief had adopted and named Anowana, grew up to be a beautiful maiden of eighteen. Her hair was black and the sun had tanned her skin until she looked very much like an Indian. Many were the braves that had wooed her, but in vain. She secretly loved a white settler who was trading with her tribe. He, also, had tried to win her, but brave Anowana had decided that she could not marry him. No, he was a white man and was worthy to wed a white woman. It was very hard for Anowana to make the sacrifice, being accustomed, as she was to having her own way most of the time, for she was a great favorite. She had tried her best to get her lover to see her side of the argument, but he either would not, or could not, see it that way. Finally, the trader sought advice from the wise squaw, Ano-wana’s foster mother. The old Indian then confessed to her husband, Anowana, and the trader, the real story of the little white child whom she had sheltered. With this barrier removed Ano wana consented to marry her lover, and the union was a very happy one indeed. McMinnville, Oregon 49 An Old Man’s Lament I’ve traveled round the world a bit, I sing no native song; I’ve shook hands with the king of Spain And dined in old Hong Kong. The earth is round without a doubt, And blessed with many joys, While here and there a Socialist Will try to make a noise In all my travels far and wide, I’ve yet to find the sand Where I can wave a flag and say, This is my native land. There may be times of sorrow. When ambitions are despair; But I go onward with the wind Without a tear or care. One day while I was wondering Alone in foreign lands, A queer old man approached me And lifted up his hands; His mind seemed lost in sorrow, And I asked him why so sad, Then he told me all the story, Of his life both good and bad. ‘Gracious friend, I give a message To the world and you alone; I would give a life of gladness If my freedom I cou'd own. Far to the west across the sea, There lies a little town, You would marvel at its beauty As the shining sun went down.” 50 THE LINCOLNIAN “McMinnville is the name they call it, It’s a prison in disguise; Avoid it with your might and life Then I will call you wise. There they have a high school, A building made of bricks, It's very walls still taunt me Like a mystic and his tricks. Here I made a great mistake, I went to this great school ; And since I’ve always wondered How the world will serve a fool. There came a learned professor And placed me in a seat, He gave me many volumes, It certainly was sweet. “Algebra is so practical, Just like the grass on trees. The problems were stupendous, They shook my very knees. I was taught about the ancients, And the way it rains in Rome; I did not have the surplus space To cram it in my dome. There is German and old Latin, Those fiends of foreign tongues; I tried to say a word or two, But failed and broke my lungs. English was the place for me, It surely made me grin, Until I got a taste of it, And then I saw my sin. “Geometry was mystery, From beginning to the end; The lines and little angles I could never get to blend. Take your Chemistry and Physics To the river some dark night, Tie them to a little rock And watch them sink from sight. There are many other subjects, McMinnville, Oregon 51 Just the kind that make you pine For the golden days of summer, Oh, vacation is divine. For days I crammed and studied, I burned the midnight oil; I now began to wonder How these tortures I could foil. Ambition now began to fade, It became a beastly grind, My brain began to crumble And I slowly lost my mind. Then I reached a sane conclusion, I fled ii.to the night, And traveled across the sea To lands of promise bright. “Here I stand before you, Ruined, wrecked and in despair; Because a little education Made me hunt the critic's lair. Now my friend I’ve told my story, Of the terrors of a school, Where tyranny is always present, Where kindness cannot rule. Sympathy is but a vision, And you study on in vain, To perceive some bright idea, Only blankness does remain. Once again I warn you, That you may see and know, That a bud placed in a high school Will never, never grow.” I stooped and praised this poor old man, Who lived alone in sorrow; His warning I would not forget To use upon the morrow. Avoid the place where high schools live; Where learned professors rule, You’ll always profit in the end, While failure brands the fool. —C. A. T5. 52 THE LINCOLNIAN A Senior’s Gettysburg Speech Four years ago, our school board brought forth in this city a new high school, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the supposition that all students are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether our Freshmen or any Freshmen, so conceited and so irresponsible can long endure. We are met in the great assembly hall of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that hall as a final studying place for those who will give their lives that that spot might be kept sacred. And it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, but we can rule this place. The brave faculty, past and present, have dedicated it far above a student's power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what the rooks say here, but it can never forget what the Seniors did here. It is for us, the upper classmen, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which those who have graduated have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored graduates we take increased devotion to that great cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these alumni shall not have graduated in vain and that this high school, under God, shall have a new senior class; and that Government of the A. S. B., by the A. S. B., for the A. S. B. shall not perish from our Alma Mater. McMinnville, Oregon 53 Her College Days Rose Heath walked slowly up the path through the old-fashioned garden of the little white house thinking what a lovely place it was. The honey-suokle covered porch looked cool and shady, while the quaint little rose arbor, which stood a short distance from the house, seemed to add an air of romance to the whole scene. As she came up the steps she saw her aunt, a delicate, girlish looking old lady, sitting in a low chair, sewing. Pausing, the girl called softly to her, “Aunt Ellen, anyone would think you were in love, for you did not hear me coming. Your dreams must have been interesting.” Aunt Ellen smiled and said, “I was only thinking of some of the people I used to know years ago when I went to McMinnville College.” “You never told me about your college days. Won’t you tell me now?” “Well, the college was not very important then. It was in a two-story white building which seemed to us wonderfully large at the time. It stood right where the Baptist church stands now and was combined with the public school, but there were only three teachers for both. As the old college bell was the only large bell in town it was rung on every occasion by ‘Dutch’ Brown. Now the college has thiee buildings beside the observatory and a very pretty campus. “As well as Dr. Johnson’s drug store there were three general merchandise stores and ‘Dutch’ Berry’s small shop. These with a few residences were located on Third street. The wagon and blacksmith shops were on B street in just the same place they are now and the McMinnville Hotel, which was kept by Mr. Tony, was right across the street The old Cumberland Presbyterian Church was the only church in town, then, so it was used by all denominations, and services were held Sunday morning and at early candle lightin.’ While there were no trains then there was a stage and in the winter time, at. high water, boats would come up the river.” “You could not come home every Friday as I do now, on the electric, then, could you?” Rose asked. “Oh no! but your father would go for me about once a month unless it was too muddy,” Aunt Ellen replied. “It was about then that General Jasper Johnson brought the 54 THE LINCOLNIAN first printing pre;s to McMinnville and started a newspaper. I think the name of it was ‘The Blade,’ but I am not sure. The printing press was the first one in Oregon although it was not brought to McMinnville first and we were very proud of it then.” “Now there are two papers. What would you have thought then of the paved streets, Carnegie library, college and public school buildings, beside all of the store buildings and the new Masonic temple? Who was in school then, was Uncle Jim?” asked Rose. “Yes, he was, and so were Tom McBride, George Burnett, Marion Ramsey; and Isia Martin, three of them supreme judges now. The girls nearly all married and went away. Mary Dolan used to live there and I knew her pretty well although she did not go to college. She had a pretty hard time and once she said that it didn’t do her any good to get engaged for the fellow always stole something and ran off. She did marry finally tho.” “Did you and Uncle Jim go together then, Aunt Ellen?” “Yes, we were together a great deal, for both of us liked to go to parties and entertainments and my aunt, with whom I stayed, would not spend her time in such a frivolous way.” “That was Aunt Sarah, wasn’t it? and she used to say that she read newspapers and books and things she knew were true, but she wouldn’t read novels.” “A queer person Aunt Sarah was, most certainly. If she had been born fifty years later she would have been a sort of Mrs. Pankhurst, I think. Well, as I was saying, Jim would take me places a good deal and we nearly always went to singing school together. One time there was an entertainment at Lafayette. As there was quite a crowd of us going we took a large wagon and all went together and had a jolly time going and coming. It did not seem like it took so long to come home but it was late when we got to Aunty’s and she was shocked at us for wasting so much time on anything so worthless.” “Mother is calling me now,” Rose said, “so I must go, but you will tell me more about it some other time, won’t you?” —M.

B. for the year ’13-14 was called to order Oct. 2, we were confronted by the absence of two of our officers elected at the May election, Pres. Glen Macy, and Maude McGogy, Sec’y., who are now students in a medical college at Los Angeles, Calif. William Snyder, Vice-president, assumed the duties of President and Helen Cunningham was elected to fill the other vacancy. The office of Treasurer was filled by Clifford Alderman, and that of Sergeant-at-arms by Edgar Reeves. Among the first enterprises undertaken by the organization was the erection of a dressing room on the campus, a long felt need of our valiant football heroes. During the first semester there was considerable dissension among the students in regard to the payment of dues, but an amendment to the constitution, whereby the A. S. B. membership fee was reduced from one dollar to twenty-five cents, proved satisfactory to the majority of the school, and our usual harmony was restored. Feeling that the social life of our school was being somewhat neglected, we instituted the regular Thursday morning assembly, at which the students as well as the members of faculty are given an opportunity to exhibit their ability as orators, musicians, etc. This short weekly program for the social lethargy into which the school had fallen, and the reception in honor of the faculty given by the Student Body at the beginning of the second semester did much to eliminate the barrier existing between the students and the teachers. Owing to President Snyder’s strict adherence to parliamentary rules, the business of the association has been conducted in a very orderly and business-like manner. McMinnville, Oregon 57 Debate The interest manifested in debate in M. H. S. was strong enough to establish two teams, who were scheduled to meet Day-ton and Newberg High schools on the question, “Resolved: That Oregon should have a single house legislature.” The champions of the triangle were to compete with other High schools of Oregon for the state championship. Owing to the shortness of time before the date set for the first contest, the local teams were not well prepared. The affirmative team composed of Clarence Fleming (leader) and Harry Armstrong, met defeat at the hands of the Newberg team in this city on January 9, with a decision of 2-1. On the same night the negative team, consisting of Martin Peterson (leader) and Richard Flynn, were defeated by the Dayton High school team. This closed our debating season for 1913-14. Advice to Freshies A freshman’s life is filled with strife From early morn till night; So just look up to the seniors, and You will come out alright. Look pleasant when some junior says, “Lend me a dollar, kid,” And when a senior looks your way, Be sure you dip your lid. Don’t think that women, wine and song Were made for little boys; And when you come home late at night, Soft pedal on the noise. Don’t worry ’bout the sophomores, they Are still in training, too, Though they may try, as young lads will, To play some pranks on you. A freshman’s life is filled with strife From early morn till night; So just look up to the seniors, and You will come out alright. —M. H. S. ’14. 58 THE LINCOLNIAN Boys’ Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club is lead by Mr. Ralph McKee. Some very good material for voice was evinced under his excellent leadership. The Club’s debut was made at the reception extended to the teachers, in which the warblings of the various songsters brought forth hearty applause from the auditors. It is to be regretted that the Boys’ club was not permitted to join the Girls in chorus, which it had planned to do; but owing to the limited amount of time which could be devoted by our leader, the mixed chorus was little practiced. The Glee club is composed of Bernie Nelson and Lloyd Shaw-ver, first tenors; Albert Buchanan, Ronald Lewis and Hubert Obeli, second tenors; Paul Whirry and Hubert Little, first basses; Clifford Stevens and Kirk Walling, second basses. McMinnville, Oregon 59 Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club was first organized three years ago with Nada Clark as president, and Ina Gabriel as manager, but because no director could be obtained very little was accomplished. The next year with Laura Sherwood as president, Madalene Logan as manager, and Miss Inez Stark as director, the club had a very successful year. The operetta “Princess Chrysanthemum” was given and well received. At the beginning of this year the club was organized with the following officers: Gladys God bey, president; Zon weiss Rogers, vice-president; Josephine Crawford, secretary; Margaret Ramsey, treasurer; Madalene Logan, manager; Evelyn Stark, pianist. Under the direction of Miss Stark a great deal has been done this year. Although the club has given no operetta as it did last year, they have appeared at various entertainments during this time. Aside from the success of the club as a whole, each girl has received a great deal of benefit as well as pleasure from the work. The girls who passed the tryout and became regular members of the Club this year are. Ruby Alexander, Josephine Crawford, Estella Looney, Luella Davids, Pebble Brixey, Theo Duncan, Lura Russel, Madalene Logan, Irma Bills, Gladys Godbey, Zon-weiss Rogers, Monema Wood, Audrey Denniston, Ruby Stroup, Rosina Schreiber, Ellen Michelbook, Muriel Paul, Irene Athey and Margaret Ramsey. 60 THE LINCOLNIAN Manual Training The equipment of the Manual Training rooms was completed this year by the installation of three modern wood-turning lathes. Wood-turning is taken by the second year students only, the Freshmen doing the simpler mechanical drawing and woodwork. Upon completing a certain amount of woodwork, boys who so desire are allowed to concentrate on advanced mechanical drawing. In this way, there has been completed a full year's course of blue prints. M. H. S. Manual Training department has been assigned by State Superintendent Churchill, five pieces, a table, two armchairs and two plain chairs for the Oregon building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The Manual Training classes are composed of all Sophomore and Freshmen boys, with the addition of three or four Juniors, the total number being about sixty. McMinnville, Oregon 61 Domestic Science Under the able supervision of Miss Crawford, the Domestic Science classes have been very popular this year. In the classes are 36 Freshmen and 12 Juniors. The laboratory which accommadates 18 is one of the best equipped in the state. The course this year has been stronger than ever before. The Freshmen have taken up “Simple Cookery” and a preparatory study of “House and Home.” The Juniors have had extensive work in “Planning and Furnishing the Home.” In connection with this work they have visited fuurniture and hardware stores and plumbing shops. They have also made a thorough study of “Cookery and Dietetics.” Luncheons have been served to the Faculty, Board of Directors, County Teachers and various students, also a dinner to the Alpha Gamma Nu Fraternity of the local college. Domestic Art The Sophomore Girls in the Domestic Art classes have made a study of hand sewing, crocheting, garment drafting and machine sewing. The recitation work consisted of a study of the common articles used in sewing, such as needles pins and sewing machines. A new feature of the work is the textile study of iinen and cotton fabrics. The Basketry work of the first semester consisted of the construction of reed mats and baskets; while the second semester’s work was the completion of a raffia basket. The most popular course in Domestic Arts was that in Millinery. This course included the designing and construction of buckram and wire hats. 62 THE LINCOLNIAN Chiefly About People Gladys Godbey says that she considers her hypnotic smile as her best educational asset, and uses it to best advantage in classes presided over by certain “gentlemen” of the faculty. We all envy Bernie Nelson:—Some girls were overheard to say, “Oh, isn’t he just handsome.” Could anyone think any more of Freda than she does herself? George Jamison cannot wear a “derby” owing to the fact that his head is subject to periodical enlargements. Bruce Clay is vivid proof that the theory of evolution is correct. Harold Taj lor expounds the theory that love develops the heart, and thinks that more stress should be laid on this form of exercise. The most noticeable characteristics of Guy Mardis are: His aversion to studies; his long pompadour, and his unusual brilliancy manifested in “Private Speaking.” We think Viola Johnson is the sweetest little girl in school. —The Boys. It is rumored that a certain couple in M. H. S. are engaged, but there has been no definite announcement to this effect. Well, er, “Actions speak louder than words.” My, it is nerve racking to try to be the fashion plate for girls of M. H. S. without being conspicuous, especially since the “Decolette Hop” is in vogue.—Edna B. Our Cecil will always be found in the thick of the fray. Madalene Logan is preparing herself for a model housewife. (Take notice, boys.) Statistics show that Hubert Little wastes enough words in his daily recitations, to fill an ordinary dictionary. Elmer Poole’s motto is: “Never study until the spirit moves you.” Jesse (Anthony) ( Jesse feels peeved because he can’t go to Vera (Nunn) ) domestic science class with Vera. McMinnville, Oregon 63 We understand that Mary Hackett has been selected to pose as a model for “The Goddess of Spring” which Joe Davidson, the noted sculptor, is going to exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Esther Miller:—Well, you might call her likable, that is, if you are fond of babies. Notice: A philanthropic member of the student body offers five dollars ($5.00) to anyone who is able to prove that they have ever heard Rose Carter speak more than five consecutive words. Paul Whirry: A special favorite with the girls; do I hear any protests? Lura Russell:—Representative of McMinnville Land Co. Recipe for getting a (stand in) with Miss Rohse:—Take a quantity of hot air, mix in a small portion of cleverness and season heavily with complimentary remarks about “Our Carl”— Serve hot. Dale R-Porter—A person of lengthy knowledge, has the distinction of having all the Seniors look up to him. Albertus Buchanan—Noted for his faulty memory and artistic temperament. Exponent of women’s rights theory. Walter Corpron—Alias Nig the Shark; has a shady appearance and should be watched. Maxillus Nay(lim)berger—Max has the wardrobe of an Indian prince and houses a fading ambition of securing a sweetheart. “Bill” Martin: Pseudo-member of the faculty, likes the basl etball game and eats pie for dinner. Dada Rhodes is a brick in disguise. Monema Wood—Has all the characteristics of hard wood and is very attractive to certain Sophomores. “Yale” Loche Mardis—Has no animosity for Sophomore girls. Knows something about everything and nothing about anything. Edna McCrady—Thinks more of herself than Loyd Shawver does his football letter. (Personal advice) See yourself as you see others. Miss Johnson—Instructor of English philosophy. Is interested in the “Taylor”, chemistry, etc. McMinnville, Oregon 65 Dramatics With the presentation of “Farm Folks” a new field of activity has been opened up to us. We have come to feel that dramatics will hereafter take a more important place in our school and as we grow uur efforts will be rewarded with even greater achievement and success. “Farm Folks” is a very pleasing and entertaining play. It portrays country life in a vivid, realistic way, contrasting it with that in New York society, and permits of some very striking characterizations. The whole cast seemed to be very well suited to their parts. It is sufficient to say that each did his or her part without sacrifice on that of another. The part of Philip Burleigh, a rich young man from New York, was played by John Mason; Dada Rhodes appeared as Philip’s mother; while his sister Grace was Lura Russel. Editha Vincent interpreted the part of Flora Goodwin, Philip’s sweetheart, her mother and father being LaVersa McCoskey and John Manning. The Goodwin “hired girl” Delia Slocum, was Josephine Crawford, and her lover, Bijah Finn, was George Jameson. The part of Dave Weston, the country lover of Flora, was taken by Clifford Stephens. The talkative neighbor, Mrs. Peasley, was impersonated by Gladys God bey. Albert Buchanan served as butler in the Burleigh home. It is hard to measure the value of dramatics to the general tone of a high school. Not alone do they benefit those taking part, but each student receives a knowledge of expression-that factor in social life which is power itself. By a knowledge of expression we come to appreciate the feelings and emotions that stir men to deeds of vanity or valor; we understand character, for expression and character are seldom separable; we are able to live, for life in the world of men is but our thoughts transmitted to the world through the medium of expression. McMinnville, Oregon 67 Football At the beginning of the 1913 football season, McMinnville’s prospects for a winning team were exceedingly bright. The back-field composed of Corpron, Snyder, Bills and Nunn lost nothing by comparison with others in the state. The line, although it bore a slight resemblance to the usual side show attractions of a circus, was unquestionably a stonewall of defense. Under the ab’e management of Richard Flynn and the excellent coaching of Clifford Dennis, the team made a flying start and won the opening game with Oregon City High school. Then followed a hotly contested game at Forest Grove, ending in our defeat. A week later the team outplayed Portland Academy in a 6 to 6 exhibition on the local gridiron. Following this a light workout with the Hillsboro eleven on Nov. 1 put the boys in fine condition for a trip to Vancouver a week later. But this game, although well played, ended with the score two points in Vancouver’s favor. About this time an epidemic of the mumps made its appearance and several of our most valuable players were stricken. Unwilling to cancel the scheduled games the crippled team journeyed to Corvallis and met defeat at the hands of the crack eleven of that place. Soon after returning from Corvallis and almost on the eve of the Thanksgiving Day game with Newberg, two more players fell ill with the mumps. This was indeed a sad blow to our hopes. The team was undoubtedly weakened through the loss of so many men and the shifting and changing which this had necessitated. It did not mean, however, that we were left altogether defenseless and at the mercy of New berg’s strong aggregation. The backfield was practically the same as at the first of the season and in it we foresaw trouble for our rivals. In our front rank were many scarred and battered veterans and although new forces were present they did not mark a weak spot in the line. Thanksgiving Day arrived and with it came a late November flood. The teams lined up on the rain drenched sod and the game began. It was apparent from the first that the teams were evenly matched. Our heavy backs made steady gains through Newberg’s line while on the other hand our line seemed impene- 68 THE LINCOLNIAN trable; but the Newbergites made yardage round our ends and luck broke with them almost invariably on fumbles. During the first half and the greater part of the second neither team could get within striking distance of the other’s goal. Then came a fumble, a long run, and Newberg had us on our ten-yard line. But anchored in the mud with a half crazed crowd of enthusiasts beseeching them, our boys made their last stand. Time after time the pick of Newberg’s backfield was hurled against our line only to be borne back. Failing to break through, Newberg changed her tactics and the freak place kick followed which caused an altercation to arise between the officials and the game was called off. It is not for us to decide what should have been done in the case; but we can say that neither team can be censured for its action under the existing circumstances, and, furthermore, that next year under more favorable weather conditions, we expect to settle the question of supremacy in a way that can have but one interpretation. The 1913 football schedule was as follows; October 11 Oregon City 0 McMinnville High School 3 October 18 at Forest Grove 10 “ “ 0 October 24 Portland Academy 6 “ “ 6 November 1 Hillsboro 0 “ “ 66 November 7 at Vancouver 8 “ “ 6 November 14 at Corvallis 18 “ “ 0 November 28 Newberg 0 “ “ 0 The following men received the official football emblem: Capt.

Two members of the previous year’s fast team were gone and no new material in the shape of experienced players had entered school. Coach R. S. McKee turned his attention to developing some new men and on Jan 9th, the team composed of two veterans and three recruits defeated Astoria in a rough and closely contested game on the home floor. A week later the team, weakened by the temporary loss of Corpron, met defeat at Dallas in a rough, fast and exciting game. Beaverton was next on Manager Van Atta’s schedule but they were no match for the red and white. Dallas then came down to meet us and they had visions of a pennant dancing before their eyes. These dreams have long since faded. The score was 18 to 16. In quick succession followed a game with Clatskanie, which was easily won; a closely contested game at Forest Grove, lost in the last few seconds of play; an overwhelming defeat of the Vancouver five, which we administered on our own floor, and sweet revenge on Forest Grove on March 7. On March 18 we began a series of two games with Newberg to even up past misunderstandings and to decide the championship of Oregon. The first game at Newberg was a surprise to both sides. The fast and well balanced team of the Newbergites failed to walk over our boys in the first half, as many of our fellows had foretold, and hope of victory began to fill our hearts. The M. H. S. five came back strong in the second half and at once proceeded to play their opponents off their feet. But Newberg died hard. Slowly they regained control and began to cut down McMinnville’s lead. They tied the score and then the foul, which should have won the game for us, circled the rim of the basket and fell out just as time was called. In playing off the tie, however, we secured the first field goal, after each team had scored one point from the foul line, and won the game. You should have heard them yell. Two days later, Newberg came down in force to recapture their lost honors and a second battle royal was waged on our own floor before a record breaking crowd. The first half was close and indecisive. In the second half Walter Corpron played the greatest game of his brilliant basketball career. He tossed the ball from all angles, all positions, and at any distance, and 74 THE LINCOLNIAN nearly every throw went true and counted two for Mac. New-berg simply could not stop him. Veterans though they were, they wavered, and it looked as though the contest would end in utter rout. But then it was that they showed their metal. They rallied and began to advance the score. They tied us at 23 and the red and white supporters trembled. Corpron retaliated with two rapid fire baskets and try as they might Newberg could get but one more lone basket past our desperate defence. The game was over and M. H. S. was the proud possessor of their first State Championsnip. The team at first glance might appear to be unbalanced. But this was not the case. In Ivan Pearson and Loche Mardis, both new at the game, we had two highly dependable and consistent forwards. In Walter Corpron we had a man who would have been a star on any college, school, or club team in the state. He was the aggressive part of our machine and his great work at center against Newberg attests his skill. Captain Hubert Little, Earle Richardson and Lee Waugaman filled the guard positions with high efficiency. The defensive work of this trio in the two Newberg games was unquestionably a factor in bringing about our victory. In Robert Manning, Lyman Latourette, and Lovd Shawver, we had three valuable men who would have warmed the bench on few other teams of the state. One must not underestimate the value of a coach to any team. In the past two years, R. S. McKee has proven his ability in this line by winning three pennants with the McMinnville College and High School teams. Last, and in our case, least, comes Manager Ellis Van Atta. Everybody in McMinnville knows “Snud” and to know him is to be his friend. The treasury gives ample proof that he is a business man. The record for the season was as follows: January 9 January 17 January 23 January 31 February 6 February 9 February 21 March 7 March 18 March 20 Astoria 11 at Dallas 35 at Beaverton 25 Dallas 16 Clatskanie 18 at Forest Grove 25 Vancouver 14 Vancouver 16 at Newberg 20 Newberg 25 McMinnville High School 12 17 33 18 36 23 49 27 22 27 The following men were awarded the official basketball emblem: Walter Corpron, Loche Mardis, Ivan Pearson, Hubert Little (Capt.), Lee Waugaman, Lyman Latourette, Earle Richardson, Robert Manning, M’g’r. Ellis Van Atta, Coach R. S. McKee. 76 THE LINCOLNIAN Track After a warm contest between the track and baseball factions of the student body, track was adopted as our spring enterprise. Activities began during the first week in April under the direction of Coach McKee and Manager Fox. The prospects for a good team are bright, as six men, namely: Corpron, Snyder, Pearson, Flynn. Waugaman and Webber, participants in last year’s inter county meet, and a large turnout of good material are intending to take an active part in the season’s work. Several meets have been arranged by our manager, the first one to be staged on May 2d on the local field with Jefferson High, of Portland. On May 9, four men will be sent to the U. of O. to participate in a meet which embraces the whole state. A few days later a meet with Salem will be staged on the local grounds and a return meet will be given us at Salem later in the season. At the present time no date has been definitely settled for the county tryout and the final intercounty meet where we again hope to carry off a majority of points. McMinnville, Oregon 77 Class Basketball The promising of a pennant to the winners of the interclass championship by the Faculty furnished an incentive for class basketball activities. The Rooks immediately began to get busy. At the beginning of the season they took the Sophs under cover in an easy victory and a little while later overcame the Junior quintet. Last, and by no means least, they caused the mighty Seniors to suffer defeat; thereby winning the interclass pennant, of which they are duly proud. Class Football Interclass football activities were started off by a game between the Rooks and the Sophomores. The sturdy Freshmen eleven outclassed the Sophomores, who met ignominious defeat at their hands, the score being 7—0. The next interclass mix took place between the Juniors and Seniors. Each fought hard with the hope of gaining supremacy but the game ended with honors even, the score being 0—0. The Sophomores, not being content with one drubbing, undertook to eliminate the Rooks in a second clash. The Freshmen still remained invincible and the Sophs sadly buried their wounded feelings in a goose egg the score standing 6 0. 78 THE LINCOLNIAN Events of the Year To be treasured in the memories and rehearsed in the remin-iscenses of the pupils and faculty of 1913-14, and handed on to the waiting, expectant historians to be converted into history, the consumers of which shall furnish their own appreciative systems.

McMinnville, Oregon 81 Entrance Requirements The presentation of the regular Eighth Grade diploma or its equivalent from some other state is required for entrance to the Freshman class, and entrance to advanced standing will be granted only to those who furnish sstisfactory credits from other schools or other assurance that they are prepared to do the work required. ______________________ Credits and Graduation The minimum requirement for graduation is fifteen credits. In the classical courses no one will be graduated who has less than the full number of credits required for entrance to the State University. In the Manual Training and Domestic Science work shall count the same as one single period of recitation work in the academic study. Credits in the High School are allowed upon the basis of one credit for a subject carried throughout the year with recitations five times per week. Standings shall be determined partly by estimates of the daily work and partly by written examinations at the middle and at the end of each semester. No credit shall be allowed for any subject in which the student failed to maintain an average of 80 per cent for the semester or who has a mark of less than 70 per cent for any one month. Such work as may be missed on account of the absence of a student from classes shall be counted against the student, but if the absence has been for a valid reason, part credit will be allowed for the preparation of the assigned work. Special examinations to cover work missed on account of absence for extended periods may be given at the discretion of the principal. Absence and Excuses All absence of students from the sessions of the school must be accounted for by parents or guardians either in person or writing. Written excuses shall state the date and cause of absence. Sickness of the student, sickness in the family, and necessary work are recognized as valid reasons for absence. (Note: The City Superintendent will write excuses for stndents not living with parents or guardians, upon proper explanation to him of the cause of absence.) Course of Study The High School course of study cannot be definitely stated at this time, owing to the necessity for readjustment growing out of the adoption of the Junior High School plan, which in all probability will be in operation next fall. Work done in the McMinnville High School is fully accredited at the State University, which insures that it will be given full credit at most of the other colleges of the state and other states. 82 THE LINCOLNIAN EMMET EVANS Editor-in-Chief VERNE M.

Buchanan, carrying a cigar box under his arm, was going down the street and was met by Prof. Wilson. “Well, Albert,” said the Professor, “I am sorry to see that you have begun smoking.” Albert looked at the box under his arm and said, “Oh, these are not cigars; I am just moving.” Supt. Rutherford to Mrs. Jeffrey, who is keeping door at the art exhibit—“Well, I suppose I can get in here on my face.” Mrs. Jeffrey—“Why, yes, but I’m like the conductor.” Supt. Rutherford—“How is that, Mrs. Jeffrev?” Mrs. Jeffrey—“You see, I have to punch the tickets.” Blessings on thee little (?) pair, Vera dear, with cheeks so fair; And thy lover, Jesse true, Whose whole thoughts are thoughts of you. For, eschewing book or task, To Anthony's he hastens fast. Hand in hand with you he walks, Face to face with you he talks Of the future, when with you, All the world will seem like new.
