Tho knowledge passed them every day, They little did imbibe, And yet for all their shiftless ways, They were a harmless tribe. Some may have pined for greater things, But I am sure of some, Content to doze through life in peace And take things as they come. Well nigh four years have spent their course, Yet well do I recall, When, as a mess of gawky rooks They were despised by all. Then, in all student body rows They took an active part, And, by their everlasting nerve Succeeded from the start. Through all those woeful, weary years Each sinner learned his place, And those who never learned to bluff Have fallen in the race. From down-trod freshmen, once despised. They keep their upward flights, The first to steal the freshmen’s eats, Or to defend his rights. Your football men have won renown For four successive years; Your orators have spoken forth And moved the house to tears. Oh, class composed of every type That walks beneath the sun; In four swift passing years you’ve learned All foolishness to shun, 24 THE LINCOLNIAN And, by your teachers, you’ve been taught That, to succeed, you must Keep right on righting to the last And have your say, or “bust.” And now, in closing, I will say. To give my conscience rest, You might have raised a bigger dust Had each one done his best. To All Whom It May Concern We, the class of ’15 of Lincoln High, being in as sound mind as possible, and not acting under duress or menace, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, as follows: First, we bequeath to the Junior class the privilege of occupying the Senior section of the study hall next year. Second, we bequeath to the Sophomore class our splendid spirit of co-operation (especially in class parties). Third, we bequeath to the Junior High all the surplus wisdom which we have been able to collect. (Of course, we don’t wish to intimate that they need it.) Fourth, we will all our pencils less than four inches in length to Guy Mardis. Fifth, we do bequeath in the following manner, individually, to-wit: Elmer Poole wills his position as Senior Goat to John Wallace. Verna Garner and Rosa Manning leave their “special privilege” of talking in fire drills to Zonweiss Rogers and Monema Wood. Ivan Pearson leaves his talkative nature to George Jameson. Mary Hackett wills one volume of her poems to John Mason. The Senior boys leave their admiration for a certain member of the faculty to Bernie Nelson. Dale Miller bestows his superfluous avoirdupois upon Robert Clay. hoy Loop wills Miss Tartar a book proving that animals do not reason. Clifford Alderman bequeaths his reputation as a shark to Billy Swift. Esther Miller wills Gladys Godbey her ability for detecting powder on the faces of her friends. McMinnville, Oregon 25 Eyrie Hills leaves liis low, well modulated laugh to Rose Cart er. Those who take lunches will the orange peelings they leave on the floor to Prof. Wilson. Mary Hackett and Elaine Daniels bequeath to Mr. Pruett one taxi. Cecil Parker bestows his gift of oratory upon Willie Martin. ley Bryan leaves the six freckles on her nose to Ilobson Pritchett in order that he may apply them to any vacant space on his countenance. Earl Richardson gives to the president of the Sophomore class his privilege of talking to Golda Branson before the bell rings. The Senior boys leave their preference for under-class girls to the Junior boys. Elmer Poole leaves his treatise upon “IIow to Fall Down on All Occasions” to Ronald Lewis. Myron Sherwood bequeaths to Lowell Hembree his desire to say witty things in class. Madeline Logan wills her “Unabridged Edition of Speeches on Woman’s Rights” to Ama Kendall. Lastly, we do bequeath to the Junior class the gray caps and gowns which we did not wear. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals ll.is eleventh day of June, nineteen hundred and fifteen, A. D. Extract from Telephone Register, May 20, 1921 The class of ’15 was reunited at the County Poor Farm Friday of last week, Elmer Poole, the present keeper, proving a most delightful host. The time was most agreeably spent, each giving his share to the entertainment and all talking of old times and present occupations. Among those present residing in our own city was Eyrie Bills, who is president of McMinnville College and one of the leading educators of .the time. Myron Sherwood was also one of that most promising class and is now janitor of the High School. Other well known citizens attending are: Vincent Hilary, chef at the Commercial; Ivan Pearson, the well known author, who has just completed a lengthy volume on “Etiquette,” and Glen Ladd, who 26 THE LINCOLNIAN is experimenting and trying to rediscover the lost art of making Fords; also Mary Manning, who is manicurist at the Elberton. Many noted educators from the University of Amity were among their number, one of the most prominent being Prof. Roy Loop, who holds the chair of Biology. Two others that should he mentioned are Prof. Earl Richardson, assistant instructor in fussing, and Crystal Kirkwood, principal of the Amity High School. Clifford Alderman, one of the most talented of the class, is now playing the violin in moving picture shows. Among others who returned to renew old acquaintances was Madeline Logan, who is matron of an orphanage. We have heard rumors that she is soon to he married to one of the class. Mary Ilackett also managed to leave her police duties at St. Joe for the afternoon, with Florence Jensen, who has won renown as captain of the girls’ baseball team of this city. Dale Miller, having lost his position in a circus because of drinking a bottle of anti-fat, is now looking for new work. Mina Redmond, who has become a Red Cross nurse, the former Letta Birks, who is living in California, and Esther Miller, a dentist of McCoy, were present. The well known and popular evangelist. Rev. Lloyd Henry, with Miss Helen Anderson, who assists him in his work by singing, was able to he here for a few hours only, as was Edna Boorman, because of the evening performance of the circus, in which she is snake charmer. Earl Prather and Edgar Reeves arrived a little late in the afternoon, as both came on foot. Mr. Prather is selling cosmetics, rouge and such things, while Mr. Reeves depends for the necessities of life on the pennies which his monkey gathers after a musical recital with the hand organ. Rudolph Schreiber, who has come before the public eye lately as a favorite chorus man in New York, with Rosa and John Manning, who are taking the place of the Vernon Castles of 1915, was delighted to return to his old home town. On the same train came Cecil Parker, who has married a popular Russian ballet dancer and has been traveling with her for the last few months. Miss V erna Garner, now at home preparing for her marriage to the noted scientist, Dr. Selby, and her friend, Icy Bryan, who is to accompany them to join the new colony at the North Pole, were pleased to meet so many of their old classmates. Miss Francis Wiles, manager of a co-operative laundry at Vells; Patricia Turner, a boys’ boarding house keeper; Emma Schreiber, a country mail carrier; the former Ellen Yocum, who McMinnville, Oregon 27 is living near here; Eva Alfrey, an intensive fanner, and the Misses Hatcher, who are raising eats for the Portland market, came from their various places of residence to celebrate the occasion. Elaine Daniels brought from Portland, in her jitney, Maybelle Wagner, a beauty doctor, and Clara Jacobson, who lias joined the Salvation Army. Martin Peterson, mayor of Bellevue, Merlin Christenson, who has become a second Burbank, and Emmet Evans, who has lately built an addition to the South Pole, came from Bellevue in Mayor Peterson’s new model biplane. The much loved president of the class was unable to be present. A rumor tells us that his wife heard of his intentions to leave home for the day and locked him in the woodshed. With the exception of this incident, the gathering was one of the pleas- antest of its kind.

Yea, of great renown were they. At their illustrious school they, with their colleagues, the Seniors, and their inferiors, the Sophomores, imbibed much knowledge. And it did so occur that in that year there were set in supervision over this marvelous class pedagogues of note. Among these learned scientists was found one, Professor Pruett, familiar with the natural laws, among which is one stating that no more work may be obtained from a machine than is put into it. Well knowing this, he labored hard to store within the brains of the Juniors potential energy to be expended when examination day should come. And, furthermore, he is reported to have made as startling a discovery as Archimedes, when he brought to light his geometric principles, by determining beyond a doubt that many ergs of energy are lost because ot friction due to the non-conducting character of molecules composing tin brain. Along this same line, Miss Rohse has also made experiments and as a consequence has been heard to declare, and perhaps not without good reason, that the brain cells of the average student are very slow in absorbing the essentials of languages, foreign and ancient. Miss Allison has noticed that some few students have a great liking for sweet little poems written by Shelley and Byron, for several have been heard to express their approval ol the same. While there were in this class those who were noted for their learning, there were also those who in athletics did excel. I his class, you remember, won the championship in football. Though many other things of note might be chronicled in the annals of this class, it is enough. The scribe desists lest you should call them braggarts. We have inadvertently neglected to call attention to the fact that Professor Wilson has always enjoyed the hearty co-operation of this class, and it is hoped that for this reason his commendation will be forthwith received.

The class of 1 f) 17 has determined to excel the record made by the preceding Sophomore class. About two weeks after our entrance we organized our class. The material from which we chose our officers was of such a superior quality that it was with great difficulty that we finally selected our present leaders. It is with pride that we speak of Fred Mulis as our president, Earl Xorgard as vice-president, and •Jessie Reeves as our secretary-treasurer. Our class, owing to the superior ability of our members, has always taken part in all school activities. We have been ably represented in athletics, several of our class being members of the regular football and basketball teams of the school. Our team won the interclass basketball pennant again this year, which same feat they did also in our Freshman year. This gave us an honor which other classes have been unable to gain in their Sophomore year. We are interested in all affairs of the Student Rodv, being also represented in the drama given this year by students of the high school. We have entertained at several enjoyable parties during the year. Every Sophomore believes that “variety is the spice of life, hence our love for the unique in parties. We have held this year a Hallowe’en party, a “hard times’’ party and a masquerade party. As spring comes out, exuberant spirit finds expression in the farce of an election. The contest waxes keen. The first ballot cast is for the “best thing” in school. The mid-semester examinations received an overwhelming majority ot votes. The “worst thing” in school was decided to be the “habitual knocker.” The votes for the great honor, “Most Popular Man,” were so numerous and varied that no decision could be made as to whom the title should be conferred. I he vote lor “Most Popular Girl” resulted in a hair pulling between Rita Gabriel, Zonweiss Rogers and Monema Wood. Rita gained the title on aggressiveness. McMinnville, Oregon 45 Margaret Hamblin won the title of “ Jolliest Girl,” with little opposition. “Ernie” Arthur wras presented with a pair of scissors for being the “Biggest Cut-up.” William Swift was second in the contest. The title of “Fattest Soph” was won by Ronald Lewis, with Erma Bills running a close second. The ballot for “Greatest Athlete” gives Lloyd Shaver. Herman Wood and Archie Murray equal honors. “Maxie” Nayberger is known as the Sophomore “Fashion Wanda Nelson and Flora Maloney threw mud for the honor of possession of the “Fairest Complexion.” For the “Most Confirmed Bachelors,” Sherman Lange, Harry Nunn and Kenneth Duncan received votes, and each was presented with a package of love powders, together with a three months’ free subscription to a matrimonial journal. The title of “Representative of Sophomore Class in Student Body Meetings” was given to Willie Martin. The “Hot-air Medal” was bestowed upon Russell Bickford without casting a ballot. Then comes the last ballot for the “Thing We Love Best. The cheer goes up from every throat, from every heart—“We are all for M. H. S. ” When yer settin’ in the classroom An’ a-feelin’ mighty blue; When ya’ got a notion Mason Is a-goin’ to call on you, Now’s the time to start to argue, Makes no difference what about, Keep him at it ’til the bell rings, You’ll get ten beyond a doubt.

The first social event of the year occurred in the form of a reception tendered by the old members of the A. S. B. at Flynn’s Hall, Friday evening, October 15th. About one hundred and fifteen students and High School teachers were present. The guests were divided, half being given O. A. C. cards and the rest l of O. cards. In the track meet held O. A. C. won by a close score. A good program was given by different teachers and students, a palatable supper concluding the evening. Junior Girls Entertain. The Junior boys were guests at a party given in their honor on Thursday evening, October 25). at tin High School building, (lames of all descriptions helped pass the evening pleasantly, Miss Allison, who graced tin occasion with her presence, assisting in tin entertainment. Skill in preparation was everywhere shown and especially in the luncheon. Miss Allison and Mr. Mason proved their ability as chaperones. Seniors’ Hallowe’en Frolic. October 21st, at the home of Miss Madeline Logan, the first gatherings of Ihc Seniors occurred, when the Misses Logan and Ilackett entertained the class. The scene was gay and bright, although tin night was dark and still. The decorations consisted of cats, owls, bats, moons and ghosts. Everything was unique and it proved a most delightful affair, to be long remembered by those present. Sophomore Class Honors Hallowe’en. The High School building was the scene of a happy gathering Saturday evening, October 31st, when the Sophomore class held their first party of the season. AI iss Allison, in the capacity of chaperon, aided much in making the evening a pleasant one. Light refreshments were served and all who attended spent an enjoyable evening. Des Goethe Verein. An innovation which henceforth is to be an annual affair took place Wednesday evening, November 18, when the “Goethe Verein met at the home of Miss Madeline Logan. Games of all descriptions helped pass the evening pleasantly, after which light refreshments were served. McMinnville, Oregon 49 Junior Boys Entertain. One of the most enjoyable affairs of the year took place Friday evening, January 8. when the Junior hoys entertained the girls of the class. Special effort was put forth to make it the grand success it proved. The decorations were of fir branches and crepe paper, which gave a splendid setting. Every one declared it the “best ever.” The Misses Bechen, Rohse and Allison acted as chaperones. Seniors’ Second. The second Senior party of the season was held at the home of Miss Margaret Ramsey, December lfi. Several of the girls were absent at roll call, but contributed their share to the amusement by putting a few cords of wood on the porch. Two of them were induced to come in, but, after exchanging greetings, soon made their adieus. Girls’ Glee Club “At Home.” ‘‘On February the fifteenth night. The Commercial Club rooms will be gay and bright; The song birds of Lincoln will there hold forth, And long for your presence to join in the mirth.” The rooms were bright with cupids, hearts and flowers. Hearts, keys and kisses took an active part in the entertainment, mirth reigning supreme. Faculty “Fuss.” On Wednesday, February 17. the faculty enjoyed a party after the fashion of ‘‘Ye Olden Times.’ Each came decked out in the garb in vogue about the day of their grandfathers and grandmothers—or. rather, to the extent of their own and their neighbors’ wardrobes. After admiring and criticising to the fullest extent the various costumes, they were honored with a ‘‘Mens Special, given bv the men of the faculty. The jokes of theSe witty minstrels were well flavored with bites from large, juicy popcorn balls and refreshing punch. The Misses Shaw, Crowley and Elliott sang that old-fashioned ditty, “Jerusha, Put the Kettle On,” and as such good, old-fashioned parties should end, so did this one end with a lively, gay Virginia reel. Scphomore Masquerade. On the evening of February 27, 1915, the Sophomore class 50 THE LINCOLNIAN held an enjoyable masquerade party. The guests came attired in all kinds of fancy and grotesque costumes. Various games were played and the evening passed quickly, Miss Bechen proving herself a very charming chaperon. At a late hour dainty refreshments were served, after which the guests betook themselves home. Junior Girls' “Stag.’' The annual “Stag Social” of the Junior girls was held March 4. The attempt of the girls to imitate their big brothers showed great cleverness. Each “boy” had his girl, and some cute little girls there were, too. The women of the faculty, as girls, made a “hit” with all the boys. Boys’ Glee Club Honor St. Patrick. The Boys' Glee Club entertained their lady friends at a St. Patrick’s party on Wednesday evening, March 17. The evening's program was in unison with the spirit of the occasion. Miss Stark, in the role of chaperon, gave valuable aid toward entertainment. Games played were in keeping with the date. The repast, set before them at an hour when we start counting over again, was no less enjoyable than the games which had preceded. The last “Reel” concluded an enjoyable evening. Coming! An event looked forward to with great interest is the annual Junior-Senior reception, which the graduating class each year receives from the class just under them. The class of ’16 will spare no effort to make this event one to be remembered by their guests.

Ilallie Hastings CHARTER MEMBERS Clara Corrigan Madge Eckman Patricia Turner Margaret Hamblin Margaret Ramsey Maybelle Wagner Frances Wiles The Theta Gamma Society is a literary organization of great prominence in the High School. It bears the reputation of being of the highest excellence. The society is in the first year of its career, having been organized this year by those who desired to promote the literary interests of the school to give those who are so inclined a chance to develop their talents. The membership is limited, members being selected at the beginning of the year from the best literary material available. Membership is open to students only and at present numbers sixteen. Although a student from any class may belong to this society, no Sophomore can hold office. The charter, which now hangs at the back of the study hall, presents a very business-like appearance. 52 THE LINCOLNIAN The “Sigma Lambda Sigmas The following' students of McMinnville High School—Eyrie Bills, George .Jameson, Clifford Stevens, Bernie Nelson, Verne Ilenry, Norwood Appjrson, Edgar Reeves and .Jess Nunn—having complied with the regulations, were granted, by the Associated Sti dent Body, a charter for a boys’ literaiy society. At an early meeting the name “Sigma Lamda Sigma” was selected. The organization is not a secret one, as mig.it be inferred from the name. The society now consists of about eighteen members, who have held several interesting and helpful meetings. To become a member one has to agree to appear before the public at least twice while a member, and each new member is voted on by the old “Sigmas. A small initiation fee and dues are required and the membership shall not exceed twenty. m It is the purpose of this organization to develop literary work in the school, a public entertainment being planned for an early date. The standing officers are as follows: President, Evrle Bills, First Vice-President, Clifford Stevens; Second Vice-President, George Jameson; Treasurer, Edgar Reeves; Secretary, Jess Nunn.

Or will it vanish from my sight as in a dream V So the funnv little boy Took his funny little toy Tossed it out into the deepest, widest part; Watched it float so idly down. With a dead leaf, sere and brown. Foolishly he cried as tho ’twould break his heart. Many older, wiser boys See their valuable joys Hurry down life’s stream and vanish o'er the fall Then they worry and they fret, Filling hours with deep regret, Censure not! “Men are but little boys grown tall.

B. held its first meeting for the year ’14-’15 on Oct. 5th, with all officers ready to take charge of their various duties. The officers as elected last May are: Edgar Reeves, president; Myron Sherwood, vice-president; Hugh Whirry, treasurer; Madge Eckman, secretary, and Dale Miller, sergeant-at-arms. One of the important problems settled by our Student Body was that which arises through our athletic contests with the New-berg High School. This was settled in a very satisfactory manner by resolutions which were adopted by both schools, and we believe that the actions upon this matter will make the contests prove more beneficial. e have missed the Freshmen at our meetings, but have issued to the Junior High School students, semester tickets, for one dollar, which serve as admission tickets to all High School contests and we expect every member of the Freshman class to become a Student Body member next year. Realizing that the social part of our school life should not be neglected, the A. S. B. has given two receptions this year, one soon after school started to the new students and faculty members, and one later for the Junior High students. We feel that these social functions have helped us to become better acquainted with our new members and to create a feeling of school loyalty which is very important to school activities. Charters have been granted to two literary societies—the girls' Theta Gamma Society and the boys’ Sigma Lamda Sigma Society—and in this way we hope to promote literary and social work. McMinnville, Oregon 63 The Boys’ Glee Club Organized primarily to assist in the production of the “Varsity Coach,” tile hoys decided to continue their training under the direction of Miss Stark.

Sadly moaning down the valley, Bleak and cold the night winds wail; Over head the stars are shining As thru space they swiftly sail. In the east the moon was rising, Slowly peeping o’er the hill; Shadows crept from out the darkness, Shapeless, black as night, and still, Suddenly, as if by magic, Notes of music rent the air.

Hallie Hastings One of the most active organizations of the High School is the Girls’ Athletic Association, which controls all branches of girls’ sports. It is an organization to which any girl can belong and be assured of a good time. Our splendid faculty advisors, with the help of every member, have worked hard to make this, their first year, the very best possible. The Association has done a great deal for athletics and some very good material has been developed. Besides controlling the eligibility of the athletics taken up, it also takes care of the financial affairs. Every season affords its own interesting sport. First of all comes basketball. The team made a splendid showing and some very good games were played. In the spring comes tennis, a game which is very popular among the girls this year. This spring’s tournament promises to be an exciting one as the pins offered as prizes by the women of the faculty are much sought after. Goethe Verein On the 27th of October a meeting of all students interested in the organization of a German club was called. Verne Henry was elected president, and Rudolph Schreiber secretary-treasurer of the “Goethe Verein,” as the infant organization was named. A constitution was first drawn up in English and later translated into German. A committee, appointed by the president, was so successful in securing good programs that this club, together with Miss Rohse’s teaching, has made German the most interesting course in school. McMinnville, Oregon 69 “The Varsity Coach’’ In January, ’15, Miss Logan made the suggestion that the High School present to the public a play. The suggestion was followed and a committee appointed to determine a suitable play and find a coach. “The Varsity Coach” was selected, and Miss Allison chosen as director. February 19-20 was the time set for the presenting of the piece, and at 8:30 on February 19 the curtain went up, showing Bob Selby and his friends in Selby’s room—Bob studying and the other boys “raising Cain” in general. Selby has been “too strong” for athletics and, neglecting his studies, had flunked in physics—hence the “boning.” The second act shows a party celebrating the victory of the Varsity crew over that of a rival college, also the arrival of Bob’s Aunt Serena. T1 e third scene introduces Mousie Kent, who at first is jealous of Bob, but ends by helping him through in p! ysics. The fourth act is the Senior ball in honor of the graduating class, of which Selby, Kent, Dixon and the others are members. Here Bob Selby is told of his victory in winning the prize for the college opera, and seems to have more than fair promise of success in winning the girl who has been his inspiration. Clifford Stevens, as Robert Selby, was the hero whom every one worshiped. Dale Miller, as Dick Ellsworth, played his part in a very realistic and interesting way. The part of Howard Dixon, Bob’s room-mate, and a typical university man, very jolly and full of fun, was played by Myron Sherwood. Edgar Reeves, as Chester Allen, did himself justice. George Jameson, in the role of Mousie Kent, the “grind,” covered himself with glory. Verna Garner ably represented the character of Ruth Moore, Bob’s sweetheart, a beautiful and high-minded girl. Margaret Hamblin, as Aunt Serena, was a dear little old lady, whom every one learned to know and love. Harold Taylor represented Professor Brown, a typical absent-minded pedagogue. Gladys Godbey, as Mrs. Moore; Genevieve Allen, or Muriel Paul; Marion Thompson, as Daisy Doane, and Maybelle Wagner, as Ethel Lynn, all filled their parts as though they were veterans at the game. Verne Henry was the manager, who supplied the cast with “eats” and “drinks.” He also acted as property man, securing the various articles which were necessary for the production. The financial success of the play testifies to his ability. 70 THE LINCOLNIAN McMinnville, Oregon 71 Football In spite of the fact that six of last year's football men graduated in June, 1914, this season will always be looked back to as the most successful one that McMinnville High has ever experienced. Only one defeat out of seven games played is held against the fast football machine of 1914. The manager was unable to schedule any games, other than that with Xewberg, away from the local gridiron, but it was through no fault of his. School opening a week later this year than usual caused a very short preliminary training season, but through the hard drilling of the right kind that Coach Dennis gave the boys, most of whom were new material, a team worthy of our school met Forest Grove one week after school started. Our boys, remembering the disaster that befell them at the hands of the Grovers last year, fought for revenge. This thought, combined with the strong line and the fast backfield, composed of Captain Sitton, Wood, Pearson and Pills, brought a 25 to 0 defeat to Forest Grove. The next game was played with Vancouver, and again the team gained revenge, winning 7 to 0. A week later the boys ruined Coach Fenton’s fond hopes by scalping his Dallas team 54 to 0. Mac’ next took the fast Corvallis aggregation into camp with a score of 20 to 3, sending them home quite out of sorts. Providence evidently decided that it would not do for McMinnville to gain too many honors, and on November 14 Columbia University, with the fastest team in Portland, gave 7 to her opponents and claimed 20 for herself. Although the boys fought hard, the visitors were too much for them in every part of the game, the home team getting a new idea of the open game. Then the so-called “Has Beens” gave the High School team a good workout, the score being a tie. On November 26 McMinnville journeyed to Newberg in a special train, filled to full capacity with enthusiastic rooters. The sun, shining brightly, harmonized with Mac’s high spirits. It was a matter of but a short time after the whistle was blown 72 THE LINCOLNIAN that, through the head work and speed of Sitton, which he had shown throughout the entire season, the heavy line, plunging and long end runs of the other backfield men, and the stonewall defense of the line, the hoys gained a position far into Newberg’s territory. Then the Newbergers received their first surprise. The signal was given and Pearson, with his trusty hoot, put the pigskin squarely between the uprights. Another six points were soon added, much to Newberg’s disgust. Then, through hard work, our old rivals slipped one over on the Mac’ boys and gained seven points. But this bothered our team very little, and when the final whistle blew Newberg was beaten, 29 to 7. The game was clean and fair throughout, a neutral referee having been selected by the managers. The following men received emblems, which have been changed from the old block “M” to a neat white “M” placed on a red background in the shape of a football: CAPTAIN “BUCK” SITTON, quarterback. His first thought was for the team, self being ignored. “HI” WOOD, right half. What matters it if there is no hole? There’s room above the line. “FAT” BILLS, left half. No high school line stopped him; he bored a hole alone. “MERRY” PEARSON, fullback. A heavy plunger, possessing a trusty boot. Truly a valuable combination. GOOB” MARDIS, left end. A “pip” at pickin’ passes; flying tackles also a specialty. CRAB” HUTCHENS, left tackle. Always on top with a grin. “TINY” MILLER, left guard. No chance under, around, or over. Why? 216 pounds. “JOHN” MANNING, center. After having this old “boss” for four years, we’ll sure miss him. “CELT” MURRAY, right guard. Fast? Well, he got his man, then ran interference. McMinnville, Oregon 73 “CORN PONE” LOOP, tackle. No opponent ever “looped” this Loop. “PETE” MEADE, right tackle. A human eel, and the despair of opposing men. “SIMP” SHAWVER, right end. The criss-cross kid, and somewhat of a punt returner. “RICHIE,” manager. Head and heart for the team. “DENNY,” coach. “The man behind” (the team, not the times).

The upper class-men were determined this year to take it away from the Sophs, but its owners were more determined to withhold it. The Juniors tried several times to wrest it from the lower classmen, but were unsuccessful. Next the Seniors tried, with no greater success than the Juniors. Then the Junior High School thought they would take the prize home with them, but met the same fate as their predecessors. The Sophomores are very proud of their trophy Who wouldn’t be? McMinnville, Oregon 77 78 THE LINCOLNIAN Basketball The basketball season opened this year with but two of last year’s letter men present and with barely enough new material to pick a good squad from. The first game, played with McMinnville College, was lost, but the boys played so well against an undoubtedly superior team that the fans were encouraged. McMinnville next played Forest Grove, at that city, defeating them 25 to 15. On January 30, Harper Jamison brought up his Jefferson High team and defeated his old friends. The following week Forest Grove again lost to our boys. Then the team visited Salem, coming home with the worst defeat of the season hanging over their heads. February 20 the team visited Portland, receiving their second defeat from Jefferson High School. March 5, the Mae team tried to get revenge on Salem, but could not. Manager Manning had arranged two games with Xewberg, one to be played in McMinnville, March 16, and the other at Xewberg, March If). Xewberg, with a memory of Thanksgiving day rankling in their minds, came up strong in a special train, defeating their opponents 24 to 9. The next Friday McMinnville journeyed to Xewberg with a determination of doing better, but to no avail; the old-time jinx still held. McMinnville High School won but few games, being defeated by the fastest teams of the state. As most of this year’s team will be back next year, we expect a championship season. The basketball record stands as follows: Jan. 15. McMinnville College M. II. S.. .. Jan. 22. Forest Grove (at F. G.) .. .15 M. H. S.... .. .25 Jan. 30. Jefferson High M. H. S.... . . .10 Feb. 10.

The student body having voted to support baseball this year instead of track, the team was assured good support. Manager Parker put the diamond into good condition for practice early and a swarm of enthusiasts answered the call for candidates. I he new suits, which were secured with funds advanced from the A. S. B. treasury, present a very neat appearance, being of a grey material, with light stripes of blue, and having M. H. S. in large blue letters across the chest. A heavy schedule has been arranged with some of the best teams of the valley. Tennis The interest in tennis became so strong this year that Manager Evans was compelled to build two new courts, the student body having voted to give thirty-five dollars for that purpose. I1 he girls were instrumental in bringing about this action. Howard Evans has offered a silver cup to the class scoring the most points in tournaments of boys’ singles and doubles, mixed doubles and girls’ singles and doubles. This has stirred up interest still more. The women of the faculty are offering a gold pin to the girl winning in singles and a silver pin to each girl in the winning doubles. McMinnville, Oregon 81 Domestic Art It has been said that one of the evidences of an education is the ability to do. All High School girls should be able, if necessity or desire dictates, to make their own simple wearing apparel. The girls in the second year Domestic Art classes have each made a simple waist, kimono, one-piece lingerie dress, a tailored coat and a princess slip. The recitation work has been a consideration of the process of modern manufacture of materials, their width, prices and suitability. The first year Domestic Art classes have made a practical study of stitches used on cotton materials. They have used the drafted, the draped and the commercial patterns. The recitation work has been a study of the more important commodities used in sewing. Tlie girls of the seventh and eighth grades from Junior High report to the Senior High twice a week for sewing. Ninety-six lockers and two new sewing machines have been added to the equipment of our room this year. 82 THE LINCOLNIAN Entrance Requirements Entrance to ti e Senior High Scl ool is open to those students who have been regularly promoted from the Junior High Sc .ool, or to those who present satisfa tory credits fro n the ninth grade of anct ler school.

McMinnville, Oregon oo JUNIOR HIGH SCHODL BUILDING 84 THE LINCOLNIAN History of the Junior High School Superintendent Rutherford had wished to open a Junior High School before, but it was not until last spring that he was able to get it. At that time it was seen that the three schools in the city would not accommodate the school children for the next year and a building of some kind would have to be erected. The School Board then took up Ihe matter of selling bonds, and on March 11 the people voted $10,000 bonds for a new school building, to be known as the McMinnville Junior High School. The contract was awarded to Mr. Kroner of Portland, the architect who designed the Senior High School. Work was begun in June and the building was completed October 5. Five rooms only were finished when school opened September 28, and these had to be furnished wilh old seats and chairs because the new furniture did not get here until the latter part of October. The railway officials stated that the furniture was in two train wrecks on the road from Massachusetts to McMinnville. Because of lack of seats, the teachers and pupils were very much handicapped for the first four weeks, and on some days school let out at noon so the carpenters might work in the rooms. The present Commercial Room was used as the Study Hall, and in one period of the day 13 boys had to sit on the floor. Every one bore these difficulties cheerfully, however, knowing that they would be soon forgotten when the big Assembly Hall was finally ready for use. The seats arrived early Friday morning, October 23, and on the following Monday the seventh and eighth grades took their seats in the large Study Room and the ninth grade went in the next day. Those were the beginnings and the first assembly of the year, held a few days later, marked the formal opening of the first Junior High School in the State of Oregon. On November 11 the new building was formally dedicated at a public reception. State Superintendent J. A. Churchill, Dr. Shaeffer of the University of Oregon, Professor Ressler of the Oregon Agricultural College and City Superintendent W. R. Rutherford were the speakers, while a musical and literary program was also given. McMinnville, Oregon 85 Description of the Building The Junior High School is a two-story brick building, 154 feet long and 80 feet wide. It faces the Senior High School on the west and is built so that more rooms may be added to the north and south wing. The brick are of extra quality, with a color scheme of cream and chocolate, while the roof is white. The corridors on the first floor and the ceiling beams of the Assembly Hall and the wainscoting are pure white enamel. The inside finishing of the class rooms is a light gray. On the first floor are located six class rooms, as follows: German and Algebra, English, Literature, Manual Training. Domestic Science and a Primary grade. The room designed for Domestic Science is not used for that purpose this year, as the classes go over to the Senior High School. On the second floor are the principals’ office, the Assembly TIall and five class rooms, as follows: History, Arithmetic, Spelling and Penmanship, Art and Music, and Commercial Work. The Assembly Hall is large enough to seat about 250 pupils and has a large stage in the front for school plays, and library shelves in the rear. The room and hallways are well lighted and the upper hallway is covered with heavy linoleum so as to deaden the sound of so many passing feet. The furniture in the rooms is new, with the exception of about 50 desks, which have been remodeled and painted. The Manual Training room has twelve double work benches, a long lumber rack and a compartment where the boys keep the things they are making. The equipment of the Art and Music room is being added to all the time, and now that we have a piano, really merits the name of “Studio.” The Commercial room has 24 compartment bookkeeping desks and 14 typewriters and a mimeograph.

U. Moore 88 THE LINCOLNIAN School Work by Departments ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE In this department there are three subjects—Literature, English and German. English. The English department is the largest in the school, as it is the only one in which all students are obliged to meet four times a week. All grades have joined in a campaign against the “aint’s” and “that there’s,” which has been very successful. At first many names were written on the board for use of incorrect grammar, but as the year passed, fewer names were recorded and incorrect grammar when used became very noticeable. The seventh and eighlh grades have been studying technical grammar and compositions. The ninth grade has studied some technical grammar and compositions, but more time has been given to the study of classics. The year’s work will include Ivanhoe. Vision of Sir Launfal, Tale of Two Cities, Twelfth Night and a limited study of Wordsworth. Literature. The students of the Junior High School have the pleasure and unusual opportunity of having a special teacher for literature, and therefore it has been possible to study many literary selections that are not ordinarily taken up by High School freshmen, and to study these more thoroughly. Only a few of the many selections we have studied can be given a place here. We had an interesting study of Gray’s Elegy, after which our instructor announced very gravely that we were to write our own epitaph. When we had finished the study of the Merchant of Venice, some of the students voluntarily acted the court scene and many other scenes and pantomimes were played during the first of the year. One, taken from the Specter Bridegroom, was acted at the dedication of the Junior High School. Later in the year we took up the subject of orations, each student writing an oration and delivering it in class. We are now studying debates and hope to appear at assembly some time in the near future. Much research work has been required in the gathering of this material, and we have made considerable use of the City Library in our search through the Readers’ Guide for material. McMinnville, Oregon 89 German. The war has not interfered with the popularity of German in the Junior High School, as is shown by the fact that three classes are studying “Jung Deutschland,” under the direction of Miss Rohse. Not only can the students converse in German, but they can sing as well, as they proved by appearing in assembly one morning, to the great enjoyment of the student body. It was not possible for the audience to decide as to the nature of the song, but every one had a German expression, so it was taken lor granted they knew what they were doing. Xo one is allowed to tell about the disasters that befall some of the unfortunate ones who come to class unprepared and try to translate a word according to the English word it resembles in-sound, but from the stories that have leaked out it is safe to assume that German is not yet a dead language. MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE In the seventh and eighth grades we have Arithmetic, and in the ninth grade Algebra. Elementary Science is likewise a ninth grade subject and is required of all students. Arithmetic. This is tin department where one learns how to figure interest on the money you have in the bank which you don t expect to draw out until you need it. so as a rule few of us have to do any such work. This is also one of the places where the boys get sick just before examination in the hope of getting excused, but if any one ever gets away the faculty doesn t tell about it. T he seventh grade is now attacking the question ol partial payments, while the eighth graders are attacking the whole book by way ol discovering what they have forgotten about what they ought to know. A good many problems have arisen outside ot the text book, however, in both classes, especially in the problems ol taxation, insurance, checks, etc., and we have emphasized those things that every hoy and girl ought to know about arithmetic which will be of use in the world of business. Algebra. The Algebra room is a busy place now that the school year is nearly over. Some of the members received a “smoke-up” from headquarters, and Mr. Moore is watched for most anxiously b ninth graders, who are having to keep an eye on the figures on 90 THE LINCOLNIAN their report cards. No amount of juggling with the “unknown quantity x” seems to raise grades, although, in the words of our instructor, “some people might raise their marks by doing a little work. There are three classes, one consisting of girls alone, one of boys, and one being a mixed division. Neither of the first two groups have any use for each other, except individually and outside of the Algebra room, the girls claiming that they can do as good work as the boys, so there! Elementary Science. This subject is taught in the Senior High School, room 11, first door to the right, this place being assigned to us because it was close to the front door, and because it opened into the main hallway, so that Mr. Wilson could keep an eye on his Senior High School students marching to and from their various classes. The course aims to give each of us a better understanding and wider knowledge of the natural phenomenon of everyday life. Our motto is: “Every member present every class day, on time, with a studied lesson and a mind to learn.” One day Professor Wilson made the statement “That the strength of a dam must be just as great to hold back a wall of water 10 feet thick as to hold back a lake of 10 miles’ width, provided the depth is the same in both cases.” A few days later a girl member of the class, who had been thinking this statement over, said she couldn’t believe what had been said about that dam proposition. Elementary Science is not taught in many high schools, or at least in the ninth year, and so we are very thankful we have such a course here, and we intend to take up some advanced work before we finish high school. ARTS Art Work. In this department we have an opportunity to learn to paint most effectively, and already several members have developed into real artists. Two of the eighth grade boys are specializing in cartoon work, and it is feared some of their work would not pass the censorship of the faculty. One member of this famous duet made a sketch of Dr. Winship of Boston while he was talking to the students of the two schools. Manual Training. The seventh and eighth grade boys work in the shop in the Junior High, but the ninth grade boys go over to the other school McMinnville, Oregon 91 to get machine work and mechanical drawing. That the hoys are doing good work is shown by the fact that several pieces of furniture were sent to the San Francisco Exposition by the State Committee of Manual Training Exhibitions. Under the direction of Mr. Buchanan, the boys have made many useful articles around the building, did the work on the athletic grounds, fixed the wire screens on the windows, built hall racks, etc. Every fellow is also making some particular piece of furniture for the home. Cooking. Cooking is required of ninth grade girls, who report to the Domestic Science room in the other building. There are two classes of twenty each, one going in the morning and one just af: er noon. Records show that these classes have used more blue admittance slips (you can’t get into a class in the Junior High if you’re late without presenting a blue slip from the office), but this is due to the fact that you can hardly cook beefsteak, for instance, and wash the dishes, too, in the time we have. In some respects we are an unfortunate group. One of the girls fainted one morning; Miss Crawford got burned, and several members have had mishaps in crossing the muddy road between the two schools. No one has yet been sick from eating the various things we have learned to cook, however, so we feel that we will some day be excellent housekeepers. Sewing. Girls of the seventh and eighth grades take sewing and, like the cooking classes, report to the other building. They are famous for several things, among which may be cited the following: One girl swallowed a pin, and possibly more, without injury; one girl ran a sewing needle through her finger; and in general they have caused more announcements in Assembly for lost sewing work, tatting shuttles, knitting needles, etc., than all the other students in school. Music. The music classes have made an enviable showing this year and have been much in demand for Assemblies. They performed also on the evening of Dr. Winship’s speech. At first they made such weird noises that the students in the study room were thinking about starting a riot, but later on their voices seemed to take on softer qualities, and now we pay no attention to them when they have their singing periods. 92 THE LINCOLNIAN DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Besides American History and Ancient History, Geography, Civics and Current Events are included in this department. American History. Seventh and eighth grade students are kept pretty busy with Current Events, Civics and History, and we are trying to make this a very live department. We have discussed about everything that ever happened in the past, is happening now, or ought to happen in the future. A partial list of the questions taken up is: “How to Preserve Our Neutrality,” “Would a Woman Make as Good a President as a Man?” “Was the United States Justified in Withdrawing Her Troops From Mexico?” “Will the Jitney Supplant the Street Cars?” “How Will the Celilo Canal Affect Eastern Oregon?” “Philippine Situation.” Special classes have been formed in both grades and are being taught now by Miss Bryan of the Teachers’ Training Course. Miss Kirkwood taught a class for about three weeks, also. Ancient History. The Ancient History class of the ninth grade is remarkable in many ways. Of the 69 members in the ninth year, 27 chose this subject, and have since delved deeply into the history of the “Stone Age.” To begin with, the class has a most remarkable teacher. Miss Bechen, of the Senior High. She can pronounce all the names in the book and out of the book, just as though she had lived in those days. This class is beyond doubt the “goat” of the Junior High School. For example: About the first of the year we were in the regular history room, where we had always been accustomed to go, but one day when we arrived we found an eighth grade class calmly reciting history. For a while we were located in the second grade room, and finally they gave us a home in the Commercial room, which opens into the Principal’s office. As the periods of the two schools do not quite agree in time, our teacher is generally late, so we used to take the opportunity to have a little fun, that is, before we got into the Commercial room. One day as we were deeply engaged in our daily exercise, who should suddenly appear in the doorway but Professor Scofield? “Zowie!” we knew we were doomed to some horrible fate, so we quieted down as soon as possible. When the room was so stdl you could hear a pin drop, Mr. Scofield started on his speech. McMinnville, Oregon 93 which ran something like this: “This is a lovely performance for the seniors of this high school.’’ At the word “seniors’’ you could have knocked us out of our seats with a feather. “The teachers have noticed a disturbance about this time every day, but we thought it might be the wind. As you forgot to shut the door today, the noise was easily located.” At this every one gave one look af the person who generally shut the door, and she wilted. Still, he was not through. “If you students are so small that you cannot be left alone for a few minutes without wrecking the institution, I will try to be up here at the beginning of 1 liis period until your teacher comes. Furthermore, this whole class may report here for half an hour after school.” (Exit, while silence reigned.) The class reported after school, and Mr. Rutherford accidentally came into the room and gave us some more fatherly advice. Our motto now is, “Never leave the door open.” Geography. At present this subject is about to drive three teachers, the principal and the seventh grade distracted. The class is covering more than the usual amount of work, and this, combined with the fact that spring is here, is causing some low grades in this subject. Otto Berrier and Eber Stone have reported gray hairs since taking the work, and it is also reported on good authority that the faculty meetings are sometimes devoted to searching for long and difficult questions for the “Frosh.” 94 THE LINCOLNIAN COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT 1. Bookkeeping. There are 24 students from the ninth grade taking this course, and if we didn’t have to take trial balances and stock records our life would be smooth, indeed. No two members are working on the same transaction, and now we use different price lists so that we cannot compare notes with our neighboring clerk, and some of us get lost every day. We occupy the best room in the building, have a National banking system all our own, and get all visitors who appear. The printing press is in the adjoining room and sometimes the noise of the machinery is enough to make the windows rattle, but we are used to it by this time. We expect soon to have a real estate office and an insurance office, and possibly a postoffice, in addition to the bank. The rear of the room is fitted up for offices, which will have all the McMinnville, Oregon 95 appearance of a business house. There will be about four students working in them for two weeks at a time. The class undertook a study of the most important products of Yamhill County and has also prepared a business directory of McMinnville and a report showing the number of bookkeepers, stenographers, lawyers and other professions and occupations in the city, which will be published soon in pamphlet form. Stenography. The aim of this course is not to make professional stenographers in one year, but to give the student a working knowledge of shorthand and typewriiing so that he can do his own work. It is likely that a second year’s work will be given, and at the end of that time a student ought to be capable of doing office work, although we do not want to figure on quitting school then, because a good stenographer needs to have at least a thorough high school education. We are now taking slow dictation from letters and various articles and have just completed Budget I, consisting of 20 papers. We have made a study of good form in letter writing, and will soon take up a series of letters covering an application for a position and the correspondence that followed. We may not secure the position, however. Household Accounting. This class consists of 11 girls from the ninth grade, who are inspired with the idea of discovering how much it costs to keep a large family on $75 a month, and how little one really has to spend for candy, chewing gum and popcorn. They got a two-column write-up in the “News-Reporter” once, and have since issued a course of study which tells about the things they are doing. One of their contributions to the world of housekeeping is that a teaspoonful of butter wasted every day amounts to about $1.50 a year. All of the girls figure on getting married soon and will undoubtedly make their husbands give them all the money every month. Penmanship and Spelling. Every one in school has to take penmanship at least twice a week, but only the seventh and eighth grades are required to take spelling. The artistic specimens that decorate the walls of the writing room show that we are applying the Palmer method to good advantage—that is, some are. The poor writers, however, are generally the ones who think their system of penmanship and muscular movement is too good to be improved upon. We seem NINTH GRADE, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL McMinnville, Oregon 97 to be making history in our spelling work. The tea -hers take note of every mis-spelled word in the various classes and hand these to Mrs. Hartman, who proceeds to show us the error of our ways. These words are ones lhat we use all the time in school work, but no matter how simple they are, some of us are forever missing them. If we continue to mis-spell the same word, we lose a portion of our hard-earned grades on our report cards. The Printing Class. This is something new. To be sure, our printing press is run, not by electricity, but by twro good arms, but we ma age to print the school paper, and various pamphlets and office stationery. There are about fourteen members in ihe class, mist of them being seventh and eighth grade boys, so that next year some good work ought to be done. T.:e student body paid for most of the equipment, although the School Board came to our assistance when it was found wre needed more ype. Next year we want to move into a bigger room and, if possi ble, get a small power press. School Activities At the first of the year the faculty appointed a nominating committee, which named three people for each office, as provided for in the consti ution. These candidates all appeared before the Student Body before election and many gave short campaign speeches. Twro weeks later the following students were elected to office: Charles Reeves, president. Audrey Dielschneider, secretary. Harold Dissmore, vice-president. Mary Ballard, girl vice-president. Krsel Greiner, treasurer. Horace Westerfield, business manager. Orville Doty, manager of school paper. Lot Pearce, edi or of school paper. Later in the year Lot Pearce left school on account of sickness, and Velma Farnham was elected to the position of editor. In addition to the above officers, we have a Board of Auditors of three students and one faculty member. They are Myrtle Ballard, John Kalin, Hazel Duncan and Mrs. Hartman. EIGHTH GRADE, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL McMinnville, Oregon 99 The most important thing the Student Body has taken up is the fight against smoking. An amendment was made to the bylaws which prohibits any one using tobacco from representing the school in any way. It has been taken in the best spirit and bids fair to stamp out smoking. The effect of the clause was felt the most during the basketball season, but the fellows did not realize what the movement really meant and were not so much in earnest in their attemp to quit smoking as they are at present. The school paper has appeared five times to date, and there will be probably two more issues before school closes. Every issue except the first one has been printed by the students, a point we wish to emphasize, since one of the Portland papers stated that Jefferson High School was the only school in the state editing and printing its own paper. The orches ra has been the greatest favorite among the musical organizations, as it has appeared at practically every public program given by the school. There are six violins—Mary and Myrtle Ballard, Lois Wilson, Aileen Dielsc'meider, Matie Brown and Marvin Ilarshberger; two cornets—McKinley Sights and Mr. Scofield. Jessie Jeffeiy is pianist and Arthur Webber and Del-mer Alderman act as drummers. We have also a Girls’ Glee Club of 1(5 members and a Boys’ Club of about the same. The former has been organized longer and has appeared in public several times. Miss Henderson has been the director for all the musical clubs and is deserving of much praise for her work. BOYS’ ATHLETICS It may be of interest to the readers of the Lincolnian to know something of the way in which the Junior High School “play part” is carried on. At the beginning of the year it was our plan to arrange the athletics so that every boy in the school could take part, and not to allow a few of the boys with strong athletic tendencies to take all the time allowed for practice and all of the attention of the coaches, even though it might have meant a stronger “first team” for our school. This was successfully done under a league system in basketball, and a large number of the boys got into the game in opposing leagues, which were patriotically named Americans and Nationals. Cnder this division the Nationals won first place, and near the end of the season the classes played games for the school pennant. McMinnville, Oregon 101 The first game between the eighth and ninth grades was won by the latter, but in the second game the “little” seventh graders walked away with the pennant, much to the disgust of the Senior class. The outdoor games will be organized in much the same way. At ihe present time we must look to the passerby much like a big family out making garden, as every one is provided with a rake, hoe, or some other thing of the sort, but in reality we are building a playground that will take care of the athletic question for the rest of the year. And the fact that every boy in the school has some particular corner that he can hardly wait to see finished is the proof that it would be hard to find a school where more interest is being taken in games than at the Junior High School. The baseball team played its first game Saturday, April 17, winning from the Lafayette Grammar School, 20 to 5. A week later they played a team from Yamhill. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS There has been a great deal of spirit shown by the girls, as well as the boys, for athletics this year at the Junior High School. At the first of the year there were two basketball leagues chosen, the “Americans” and “Nationals.” The girls drew for their respective teams and then a series of games was arranged in each league. Team 3 of the Americans had the highest percentage of the eight teams. After the girls had played several games, the two first teams were chosen. The Senior High girls then challenged the Junior High girls to play them. In the first game the Junior High won by a score of 10-4, but in the return game the Senior High girls won by a score of 8-2. At present the girls are out for baseball, tennis and basketball. all of which are played out of doors. There are eight teams in the baseball league. 102 THE LINCOLNIAN GLADYS GODBEY CLARA CORRIGAN MARGARET RAMSEY Alumni Editor Social Editor Literary Editor HAROLD TAYLOR CLIFFORD STEVENS Editor-in-Chief Business Manager BERNIE NELSON JESS NUNN GEORGE JAMESON Joke Editor Sporting Editor Art Editor McMinnville, Oregon 103 He Who Laughs Last is an Englishman Miss Bechen (explaining meaning of “reside” and “inhabit”) —“1 am an inhabitant of McMinnville, blit 1 reside down below.” Intending to say that the boys came puffing and blowing from the athletic field, Miss Kohse said, “Last year the boys came to my one o’clock class just pawing and bluffing.” Earl K.—“What makes the American people spend so much money?” Eyrie B.

Lewis presented his Bills when he was ready to leave the place and the people thought he was Looney. He Duerst not stay. He went on further to a Glen. On the way the Lambs were in the Mead as close as they could Huddle. The Clay was up to the Chinn and every now and then a Pearson note would remind him of Gabriel’s trumpet. Near a Wood he found a choice Pebble. Soon he met a Ladd who had lost his Hood near a Poole, which was Icy. A Miller invited Lewis to make his home with him, but Lewis could not see the Converse of the proposition. Proceeding on his way, he met an Earl and bought a Ruby.
