MYRON SHERWOOD “A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.’ Page 26 THE LINCOLNIAN juniors This year’s graduating class is—and has been from its freshman year—the largest class in McMinnville High School. Larger by about twenty members than any preceding class of graduates, our number will probably not be equalled for several years to come. Our efforts throughout our scholastic career have been for progressiveness, such as would tend to keep the “Old Mac” spirit alive. In our last year our spirit of aggressiveness has reached a culminating point in the production of the first of what we hope will become an established annual event— that is— the Senior play. Earlier in the year our “be-differ-ent” spirit expressed itself in a Winter “Flunk Day,” which caused a great furor among the lower classes. In the student body activities we have always felt a live interest. Several members of the ’16 class have won recognition as histrionic artists, having appeared in school plays on several occasions. Athletically we have been indispensable, especially in the last year, two of our number having won their letters in each of the three recognized sports of the school. Scholastically our record will bear comparison with than of any class. An examination of grade cards will reveal some luminaries that are remarkable in their merit. As this is the first year that grades for the entire High School course aie to be considered in the choice of Valedictorian and Saluta-torian, the grades of these two will be an accurate gauge as to the general class standing. Our president, Miss Margaret Ramsey, has been ever assiduous in her efforts to promote the common interests of this distinguished body, but our sense of class responsibility has not yet been developed to the point where class meetings become strictly of a parliamentary order. McMinnville, Oregon Page 27 (Emturraattmt itt 1026 “Hello Marion, how did you happen to be here?” “Well Hallie, I didn’t expect to see you working here in the ticket office. I have just left Atlanta bound for Nome, Alaska, where I expect to take a position as chief of police. I am as surprised to see you as I was to meet Hugh Whirry and wife, who are evangelists. They were having meetings while I was in Nashville. Have you heard that George Jameson is chauffeur for John Wallace, who is instructing a girls’ swimming class in Chicago, and that Golda Branson is a very successful teacher in South Africa?” “Is that so? Maybe you think I wasn’t surprised to see Ama Kendall passing through here in her latest “Star Climber.” She is traveling with the Luanne Hiatt and Harry Armstrong Toothpick Dealers.” “Do you know that when I was in Constantinople, I met Margaret Ramsey, who is now United States Minister to Turkey? She informed me that Vila Tatro and Mabel Frazier have married Turkish brothers who are contesting for the throne. O yes, Lowell Hembree has an aviation shed which is one of the biggest mail stations in Europe. His head mail clerk is Helen Johnson.” “Who would believe it? I do wish you could stay for the base ball game tomorrow, you would probably see several friends, as Evelyn Hood is short stop and Ida Hibbs has made good at first base with Rose Carter and Hester Altimus as battery.” “No I can’t stay. I do remember those girls use to be good in base ball and Til bet they are good players. You see I have an invitation to take dinner with Elsie (nee Martin) and I must leave on the 4:15 train in order to get there in time. When I was in Cuba I witnessed the boxing contest between Fae Ellis and Ruby Alexander.” “You don’t say so? Why I never thought they would take up boxing as a profession. While you are here why don’t you go up to the hotel and see Theron Olsen who is elevator operator and James Lawson who is the proprietor?” “I should like to but I haven’t time. Talking about strange things, I saw in the McMinnville News-Reporter that Hazel Range and Vivian Marr will be here in a few days, while on their way home from a suffragette convention. I received a letter from Bessie Ruby who was recently divorced from an Page 28 THE LINCOLNIAN O. A. C. man, and is now teaching manual training in Kalamazoo High School. She said that Edward Swift was president of the First National Bank, and Jesse Nunn, who gave promise to such a brilliant career in his high school days, is now janitor in the bank.” ‘‘Isn’t that strange? About two weeks ago Bernie Nelson was here, giving a series of lectures on beauty secrets. Did you know that Freda Dell has become the star in the play “Love Regained?” Although Harold Taylor has made a fortune on the inventions of his perpetual motion machine, he is shifting scenes at the Lyric in order to be near the object of his devotion.” “Well! When I was in Rio-de-Janeiro I met Sibbie Beatty who is a stenographer with the attorneys Thomas Altimus and Ralph Champion. They have secured as an assistant Mildred Huddle, on account of the increased business attending the trial of Elizabeth Waters. She is accused of affecting Frank Houser’s vision with her brilliant hair.” “Well do you think she is guilty? Do you remember about two years ago of seeing an article in a magazine saying that a new island had been discovered in the Pacific by Margaret Benfer? She has founded the colony “The Haven of Rest” (because there are no men there). Among those who have settled there are Essie Hallet, Neva Wilcox, Ethel Jackman, Edna Sights and Laura Wilkins.” “Why yes I heard something about it. I also heard that Hazel Scott is running a jitney in St. Joe. I met Myona Lewis and Vivian Clark, who are going to live on homesteads in Arizona. I expect it will be lonesome but they say they like that sort of life.” “That’s as surprising as Vera Anthony going to Egypt to take up Red Cross nursing. Are you going to vote for Mabel Davids? She has been nominated as the first woman for president of the United States and Klara Corrigan for vice-president on the Socialist ticket.” “Yes, I’ll vote for them. Isn’t it too bad about poor Mabel Bond? On account of some sad disappointment in her love affair, she has decided to live as an old maid the rest of her life.” “Yes I feel very sorry for her but she may change her mind. William Champion has chosen a different occupation than I expected. He is one of the most efficient dancing teachers in the Northwest. Hulda Dixon and Lola Finley have McMinnville, Oregon Page 29 won national fame from their latest book, ‘How to Raise Chickens.’ Say, do you know where Marie Harshberger is?” “Yes, in Paris. She has become a fashion designer. I heard Lillie Helvie in New York talking over the wireless telephone to Mary Morrison in Seattle. They are both operators in those cities. Have any of the class become clergymen?” “Why I should say so. William Rogers is a strong worker among the Mormons and Clifford Stevens, who was once a famous actor, is now trying to revive the Holy Rollers. Adele Weed is in Alaska operating a gold mine she discovered not long ago. Maybe you will see her.” “Perhaps I will. I suppose Florence Weed feels greatly honored after having won the silver cup in the National Motorcycle Race in San Francisco. Well here comes my train and I suppose I must be going. I would like to hear from you if you have any time to write. Good bye.” “Good bye. 1 am certainly glad to have had the opportunity of finding out about the members of the ’16 class. ifamiu'U tn ifl. Iff. § . At length the parting hour has come For ’sixteen the last To this dear place we bid good bye. Where happy days have passed, Good bye to teachers, schoolmates dear We call “good bye” to you Our paths in life today must part And we must say adieu. Page 30 THE LINCOLNIAN Juniors The present Junior class has the distinction of being one of the strongest and one of the most progressive of the classes of this high school. Since our entrance into the school three years ago, we have shown a progressive spirit and a businesslike capacity for managing all our class enterprises. Soon after the opening of the school, a meeting of the new and the old class members was held for the purpose of organizing our class. The following class officers were elected at this meeting: President, Earl Norgard; Vice-president, Ernest Arthur; Secretary-treasurer, Muriel Paul; Sergeant-at arms, Willie Martin. We have always taken a great interest in all school activities. Athletics would be almost an impossibility without material from the Junior class. Our class has always been ably represented in all the athletic sports of the school. Several members have won emblems and sweaters for playing on the regular football and basketball teams of the school.. The names of “Eckman” and “Martin”, as star athletes, will long be remembered. There is also excellent material for track and base ball. While we are not as directly represented in the Student Body as are the Seniors, we have, nevertheless, felt an existing responsibility upon our part in helping to maintain the dignity and the authority of the Student Body. Several of our class members have very creditably shown their histrionic talents in the school plays which have been given. We have also entertained at a number of enjoyable social affairs. The Juniors are looking forward with great interest to the time when they will become Seniors.

Page 42 THE LINCOLNIAN i nplumuiri 0 The 1916 Sophomore class came from the Junior High well prepared to take up the duties of dignified Sophomores. Having learned the advantages of organization we soon proceeded to elect class officers. Charles Reeves was elected class President, Lois Wilson, vice-president, Mabel Gibson, Secretary-treasurer, and Frank Holmes sergeant at arms. To initiate us the upper classmen had us build a bonfire for the rally preceding the Newberg football game. We were the first class to have a party, which event we celebrated in hard time costumes. This party was held in the attic of the school building. The refreshments served were cider and doughnuts. All present enjoyed themselves very much. In memory of the class we left some cider on the study hall ceiling. In the annals of our chronicle for the year we have one sad item to regard. Undoubtedly it is the worst thing that has happened in the history of this school. Previous to the time of the incident referred to we had been considered the most law abiding class that had ever been in this high school. On February ninth occurred the trial of Ernest Chown for a most horrible crime. The charge was nothing less than eating soup with a fork at one of the hot lunches served in the domestic science dining room. Although he was nobly defended by Hon. George Jameson the verdict rendered was against the prisoner. At first the Sophomores objected strenuously to the seeming unjustness of the verdict and were determined to have the case appealed to a higher court but due to complicating evidence later revealed the class opinion was soon changed,. Only a few stood by him when the fact was disclosed that after making seventeen dates to a banquet, he took only one girl whereupon he was soon sued for sixteen breaches of promise. But at last he was pardoned and in a few days we were living as peaceful as ver. We think we are a pretty good bunch, And don’t you know, we’ve got a hunch That each Junior, Senior and even the Prof. Is sorry to say he’s not a Soph. Page 44 THE LINCOLNIAN iH. ii.

S. B. Flynn’s Hall was prettily and suitably decorated with Japanese lanterns and garlands of highly colored autumn leaves. One corner was set aside for the use of Margaret Ramsey who, attired as a witch, gave all who entered her domain a “sure ’nough” prophecy as to their past, present and future state of being. About one hundred and fifty students and teachers were present. Before entering the hall, each one was met by a ghostly door keeper and made to vow to enter heartily into the merriment of the evening. The said vows were decidedly easily and well kept if one might judge from the whole-hearted enjoyment with which each one entered into his or her share of the charades and games. One of the best features of the evening was the way in which the teachers, including four of the Junior High and eight of the Senior High faculty, and last but not least, the city superintendent of schools, laid aside their official dignity and became mere mortals for the evening. Light refreshments, carrying the High School colors, concluded the evening. McMinnville, Oregon Page 51 ISjarii omitra for thr i npbmtuirrs The Sophomores showed their sociability as a class by starting the year with a Hard Times Party on October 26. They had their good time up in the attic which was scrupulously cleaned out for the purpose. A great many of the class turned out in aprons, overalls, or other articles of apparel suitable to their general hard-time feelings. After the Virginia Reel, Skip-to-My-Loo, Dramatics, and other games had been played, all present were treated to cider and doughnuts.

Afttliatrb £ ntuir ?Jarlvr On the evening of October 28, at the High School building, the first Senior party of the season occurred. The decorations consisted of Autumn leaves, bats and other appropriate Hallowe’en symbols. The evening was passed very pleasantly in playing games until a late hour, when refreshments were served from a daintily decorated booth. The special guests of the evening were Fraulein Beck and Prof. Loucks.

The party was held in the Domestic Art room, all of the sewing tables being pushed back with the purpose of leaving as much space as possible for the large number of Juniors present. After playing many games—both old and new—with a zest, dainty refreshments consisting of marshmallows, chocolate and cookies were served in the Domestic Science Laboratory. Miss Beck and Mr. Burton charmingly fulfilled their duties as chaperons. Page 52 THE LINCOLNIAN Wlti’ (kirlsi Entertain The girls of good old M. H. S. entertained the College Y. W. C.

An indoor base ball ending in a victory for the High school, and an exciting basketball game were participated in. The latter ended with a tie, which when played off, gave the victory to the College. Refreshments were served and toasts given by Miss Vaile of the College and Miss Wooten of the High school. The evening was greatly enjoyed by all. Hanqurt for the (£a� t On December 9, the coach, cast, manager and orchestra of “What Happened to Jones” with Professor Wilson as toastmaster, enjoyed a six course banquet at the Elberton Hotel. The banquet was tendered to those present as a sign of appreciation by the Student Body. The table was prettily decorated and selections from each person’s “lines” served as place cards. Many toasts were given and much jollity prevailed at the table. A suitable climax was the presentation of a lavalier to Miss Shearer by the cast, as an expression of their appreciation of her patient coaching. § muir (Girls’ S’tau Jan. 14. ? ? ? ? ? ?

By this time the girls were provided with lunches, while the boys had an auto truck, two large sleighs, and innumerable small sleds ready. The class spent a jolly morning on Hembree’s hill, had lunch soon after noon and escaped the afternoon’s rain by seeking shelter in a hop house. Late in the afternoon they returned to town, being met half way by the truck and sleighs.

The fair damsels took the part, which leap year assigns to them, very charmingly by asking and escorting their gentlemen friends to and from the place of frolic. The guests were entertained in various ways, Mr. Burton aiding much in making the evening a pleasant one. At the close of the evening light refreshments were served. City Supt.

The clock was loudly ticking, The time was flying by; My mind was busy thinking, But couldn’t tell just why; It might have just been stopping. As far as that’s concerned. Where was the answer lurking? I never have quite learned. McMinnville, Oregon Page 55 (Shun Hurm The evening was one in December, The sky was o’er cast by the clouds; The street was in silence, and seeming Quite glad to be rid of its crowds. The darkness was king of the city, The stars had all fled in their fright; It seemed there was nothing more dreadful, Than the stealthy king of the night. As I wandered, unseen, down the pathway To my favorite old oak tree, I was thinking of all the misfortunes This life had given to me. In the midst of my thoughts, I was startled, To see gleaming softly, yet bright; A star, it seemed, fallen from heaven To tarry with me for the night. I wondered if I could be dreaming, As I illuminated the place with a light; For the star that had gleamed forth so brilliant, Was neither pretty nor bright. I found it to be a small glow worm, Repulsive and ugly in light, Yet brilliant beyond all expectation, When seen in the darkness of night. I thought of the people whos’ glory. Seemed to be stunningly bright; Some shine as a true star forever, Others shine only at night. The glow worm has taught us a lesson, To always be just as we seem, As lovely by day as in darkness, And as a bright star always gleam. M.

The writer attended Old McMinnville College in the years 1864, 1865 and 1866, and remembers educational conditions here during those years. McMinnville was then a village of only a few hundred people, and the conditions were similar to what they were in other new villages of the far West. Although there was an organized school district here then, it had no school building and the district school was taught in the college building by the college instructors, and the college building was the only school building in the town. It was a large two-story wooden edifice with two wings- The upper story was used as the college dormitory, and many young men and young women lived there and boarded themselves. The rooms for study and recitation were in the lower story. John W. Johnson, M. A., who had recently graduated at Yale with honors, was president of the college and there were at no one time while, I was in attendance, more than two other instructors. Johnson was a prince of instructors, and nearly all whom he taught made excellent progress, but he was a Martinet in discipline and “monarch of all he surveyed.” I remember, on one or two occasions, seeing him bring into the school room some hazel rods, and they were used but not for ornament. In extreme cases, he obeyed the injunction of Solomon and spared not the rod. Fifty years ago corporal punishment in the schools was common, and Goldsmith’s lines were nearly as true to the customs in those days as when he wrote: “Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the way, With blossom’d furzl unprofitably gay, There, in his noisy mansion, skill’d to rule, The village master taught his little school; A man severe he was, and stern to view,— I knew him well, and every truant knew; Well had the boding tremblers learn’d to trace The day’s disasters in his morning face.” A half century has wrought great changes in conditions here. Fifty years ago, McMinnville had but one school building and only three instructors. Now, the college alone has McMinnville, Oregon Page 57 several buildings and a large corps of professors and instructors, and its high school buildings are excellently equipped in every respect. We have now, also, the Roman Catholic Academy for girls, with a corps of instructors. Fifty years ago our public schools were called common schools, and the subjects taught in them did not usually extend beyond the branches now taught in the 8th grade. There were then no high schools supported by public taxation, and there were very few institutions of collegiate rank in the state. But now every county has one or more high school, and colleges are numerous. The improvement in educational facilities in the last half century has been great, and the boys and girls should appreciate their present opportunities, and avail themselves of them. Ultfrr Soph thr lUrst Hegitt? Somebody asked: “Where Does the West Begin?” When you are in New York, they call Detroit West; in Detroit, Kansas City is West; in Kansas, it is Denver, and in Denver, West is beyond the Rockies. The following is a reply to that query by Arthur Chapman: Out Where The West Begins-Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer, That’s where the West begins. Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship’s a little truer, That’s where the West begins. Out where a fresher breeze is blowing, Where there’s laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there’s more of reaping and less of sowing That’s where the West begins. Out where the world is in the making, Where fewer hearts with dispair are aching, That’s where the West begins. Where there’s more of singing and less of sighing, Where there is more of giving and less of buying, And a man makes friends without half trying— That’s where the West begins. —Ex. Page 58 THE LINCOLNIAN Ait ©lit Eimratumal (Cnttrr On the Johnson donation land claim in township 3, range 5, west of Carlton there was standing until recent years the “Blackhawk Johnson” school house which, educationally was one of the earliest points of interest in Yamhill county. In 1861 David and Franklin Stout of this city, and W. R. Johnson and Oliver H. Adams, both deceased, cut and hewed the logs from which it was built. They were assisted in laying the same by the McBrides and Adamses- Some of the residents of McMinnville who received their early education within its walls are Mrs. G. W. Jones and Mrs. W. G. Henderson, daughters of the late Oliver H. Adams, David and Franklin Stout and the McCulloughs all of whom have resided here many years. Others well known and residing elsewhere were ex-Senator McBride, now practicing law at Salem, the eldest children of the Sitton family, John Bunn, deceased, Mrs. Crawford, daughter of O. H. Adams, and the Johnsons on whose farm the school house was built. The first teacher was Judge Lawson who later practiced law at Salem and who died some years ago. He taught a long McMinnville, Oregon Page 59 term. Then Mr. McSwayne who in 1902 was thought to be living in California taught two terms. Miss Virginia Olds, of this city, was the third teacher and taught one term and was followed by a Miss Brown of Stringtown (now Sherwood) who taught two or three terms. Nothing definite is known of her. It was in the days of subscription schools and each paid a pro rata for the privilege of attending. The teacher received $30 per rnonth and boarded around, that is, the time of the term was divided among the families represented in the school, the teacher staying the allotted time in each home- The subjects taught were reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, geography and grammar. Pencil tablets were unknown. Slates with squeaking pencils grated on the sensitive nerves of the pupils as they worked at their sums and writing. All recitations were oral. The school house furniture consisted of a stove, which occupied the center of the room and desks, slanting boards running along the walls wdth benches in front, a water bucket and a tin cup. Often the children lived at a distance from the school which meant a long walk over trails and poor roads. There were few teachers in those days, neither were there the modern necessities, railroads, telephones a quick mail service and autos. Once when a teacher was required for the school, Mr. Stout, father of David and Franklin Stout, drove by team from near Carlton to Oswego near Oregon City, where Miss Olds was then living, to ascertain if her services could be secured. Contrasting these conditions with those of the present day, the many trained teachers, comfortable and well equipped school buildings in all but the most remote districts, school lunches and the many other things supplied for the comfort and convenience of the pupils it seems almost a miracle that children in those days obtained any education. Yet in this district, now known as the White Cloud district, men since prominent in affairs obtained their early education. It is said the things hardest to obtain are valued most. Perhaps the very difficulties inspired them to make the most of their opportunities. May it never be said of the pupils of the McMinnville schools, “They did not appreciate their advantages.” V. O. Page 60 THE LINCOLNIAN (Dur fflim' Uirtirn One bleak and chilly May evening my friend and I had been sitting around the glowing fireplace chatting of various things. At last an ominous silence prevailed. My friend seemed depressed so I ventured a remark about the raging European War. He turned sharply and with a cry of disgust he explained: “That’s just what I’ve been thinkin’ about. Accordin’ to my idea there ain’t a bit a sense in th’ whole bloomin’ works!” “What started this brutal and destructive conflict?” I asked, knowing that he was a keen student of History and Civil Government under Miss Bechen. “Well,” he says, “You see, way back in the summer of 1914 a guy over in Serbia ups and shoots a young Prince who was in line for the throne of Austria. This made old Franz Josef sore so he sends dowrn a few hundred thousand troops to show Serbia who’s—who. Czar Nicholas of Russia was pretty strong for the Serbians so he calls Old Josef a big cheese for pickin’ on such a lil’ guy like Serbia. King George, who’s boss in England, wanted to get a poke at the “Old Man” too so he says he thinks the same only more so. About this time there is a big noise and behold our old friend Bill Kaizer jumps into the middle of the ring and calls ’em all liars. “Well, it went on about a month like this until at last some one got up enough nerve to start shootin’ and since then none of them has had enough sense to stop! I tell you, Field, this war proves conclusively that the so-called “Civilization of Modern Europe” is nothin’ more’n a thin veneer of linseed oil and jealousy! “Think of those critters hoppin’ onta poor lil’ Belgium and drivin’ her outa her own back yard clean over inta France! “------An when ol’ ‘Uncle Sam’ takes up a megaphone and yells across th’ big pond for ’em to cut out the rough stuff an’ fight decent, what do they do?

McMinnville, Oregon Page 6i (En (Shir Alma iHatrr Where long ago the wild deer bounded, Unalarmed by the dog or guns, Where the voice of man had not sounded, The graceful Yamhill River runs. Where softly the winds whispered greetings Through silvery birch or stately fir. Where the wings of the water fowl beating Caused the tall reed grasses to stir, And awake from their sleep of beauty, To bow in submission sweet, To the movements of restless waters, That writhe and twist at their feet. And the stealthy tread of the red fox fell Unheeded on the rolling hillside, Or adown the fern decked dell, That kissed the lips of the silvery tide, As they plighted their friendship anew, Witnessed by whispering leaf and singing winds, And floral bells, bejewelled with dew, And trilling birds of many kinds. But one day the stillness was broken By the creaking of wagons, and lowing kine. By the call of the driver, wearily spoken, By the voice of woman—your mother or mine. Who seeking a new home had traveled far, O’er desert wastes, and mountain wild, Ever following the sunset star, Hoping toward the Pacific mild. Heeding not suffering, hardships or pain That besieged them on every side; Thinking alway of the new home to gain, The dear new home where they could abide Happy, untrammeled, independent, free And raise strong sons and daughters true, An honor to the new commonwealth, to be Wise to dare, brave to do, On Yamhill’s wilds they stopped amazed, Its rolling prairies, its forests grand, They joyfully shouted as they gazed— “We’ve reached the Promised Land!” The rude log house, a home soon proved To shelter those who bravely wrought, Page 62 THE LINCOLNIAN To serve and live for those they loved, Soul trying were the battles fought, Over poverty, homesickness, love of gain, Far dearer than all else beside, The boys and girls must not remain Untaught of great ones who had died, And left the world much richer far Than Golconda’s gold could ever be. For educated intellect is the star, To make and keep men free. In every hamlet, place or home Wherever children have been taught, A stepping stone was placed until The inspiration had been caught For things that make for better man, Than wealth and gain can give, Yes, nobler, greater is the plan To teach them how to live. But love will conquer every foe That man may conquer and o’ercome, And better than our forefathers knew They planned our Alma Mater home. Full many years have passed away Since first these hardy pioneers came, And, now today we gladly pay High tribute to their name. To them we offer praises true, For all they bravely bore, And to our Alma Mater we pledge anew Our youth, our love, our learning—more Our all, to make it better till It needs our help no more; Or until heart and voice are still. Alma Mater, thy sons shall return from distant climes, And thy daughters from afar. To hear again the loving chimes That time can not efface nor mar. And to us the past shall forever last, And scenes that we fondly cherished, On memories billows from out the past Shall return with days long perished. Alma Mater, loved Alma Mater, May God give you a long and successful life, Dear Alma Mater. M. L.

The Bishop of Ballarat, the Professor’s brother, having arrived at the city from Australia sends a suit to the house, but the servant no sooner brings it in than Jones plunges into it to avoid detection from the police. Upon enterinig the room Mrs. Goodly mistakes Jones for the Bishop and introduces her daughters Marjorie and Minerva and her ward, Cissy to him as such. It seems to be a case of ‘love at first sight’ with the new Bishop and Cissy, she suspecting that he is not the real Bishop. The real Bishop does appear a little later but oh! the treatment he receives. He is painted up as an Indian by a lunatic who climbs in through the window and is arrested by the police and later is ‘turned down’ by his fiancee, Alvina Starlight. At last everything is straightened out and Alvina fondly accepts the Bishop. Jones promises Cissy that he will call quite frequently and Richard and Marjorie are soon to be happily united in wedlock. Under the splendid direction of Miss Ellice Shearer and the able management of Burnice Nelson the play was one of the most successful ones, both dramatically and financially, that the high school has ever presented to the public. The cast to which much credit belongs for the success of the play was as follows: Jones ......................Clifford Stevens Professor Goodly .............George Jameson Richard Heatherly .............. Vern Fudge Bishop of Ballarat ...............Jess Nunn Thomas Holder, a policeman..Jefferson Nelson Bigbee ........................Earl Norgard Supt. of Sanitarium............Ronald Lewis Mrs. Goodly ..................Gladys Godbey Cissy ............................Freda Dell Marjorie.......................Flora Maloney Minerva..........................Muriel Paul Alvina Starlight............Margaret Hamblin Helma...........................Jessie Jeffry McMinnville, Oregon Page 67 CTlir (Captain nf piijmmtth February eleventh and twelfth the girls’ and boys’ glee clubs, under the direction of Mrs. M. D. Warren and Professor John Mason, presented the comic opera, “The Captain of Plymouth.” The story of the opera was based on the “Courtship of Miles Standish,” with the addition of several characters and incidents which Longfellow had overlooked. The introduction of a number of modern ideas, words and people made many laughable situations. The scene of the first and third acts was laid in the Plymouth colony displaying the famous rock. The scene in the second act was the home of Priscilla with the spinning wheel before the fire. The following scene was a direct contrast to that and also very attractive. It showed the forest at night lighted only by a camp fire making the picturesque costumes of the Indians very effective. The cast was well chosen both in regard to musical and dramatic ability. In the title role of Miles Standish, Verne Fudge seemed to be a typical swashbuckler. The part of John Alden was well taken by Clifford Stevens. As Elder Brewster, Norwood Apperson carried himself with due dignity. Burnice Nelson’s characterization of Wattawamut, the chief of the blood thirsty Pequots, was splendid while the ready wit of Erasmus, Myron Sherwood, produced much laughter. Erma Bills as Priscilla sang beautifully and in every way did credit to the original modest Puritan maiden. Taking the part of Mercy, Zonweiss Rogers attracted the audience, as well as Captain Miles, with her clever acting. As the beautiful (?) Indian princess, Gladys Godbey w on a great deal of credit even if she did not win the Captain’s love. The Plymouth daisies and the Puritan lads were greatly admired and the group of sailor lads and lassies proved very entertaining. The chorus of maidens looked very pretty in their blue gowns and the invincible army would undoubtedly strike awe to the heart of any Indian.

This, however, did not deter Coach Loucks from his determination to put out a good team, and after several weeks of hard work, on his part and the part of the boys, McMinnville High had what might have been called “a well polished” team. Wishing to try out the team before a real contest, a game was scheduled and played with the Alumni team. Then the boys journeyed to Corvallis. The fates were against them, however, and they lost this game; but it was really a good thing for they were more determined than ever to make a good showing. The next game was played at Dallas with the Dallas High. There the result of much practice was shown, for our boys “walloped” them with a score of 16 to 6. On November 13 Washington High’s fast, second team came up with the view of wiping us off the map. They played a good game but were compelled to cany home with them the little end of a 10 to 7 score. The boys went to Vancouver Nov. 19, but were defeated by a much heavier team. Jones came home the possessor of a black eye which he declared some one had generously bestowed upon him during the game. On the afternoon of Nov. 25th Newberg’s football team arrived with a train load of rooters. From all appearances they came over to carry off the victory and owing to a little bad luck on our side they succeeded. The game started with the shriek of the referee’s whistle, Newberg having the first kickoff. The first half was fast and furious, neither side succeeding in making a score. Owing to the slickness of the field and the inability to make yardage by line plunges, punting was greatly resorted to. Near the end of the first half our team succeeded in driving their opponents back to the six yard line and after several attempts for a touchdown, failed. In the third quarter amidst a downpour of rain our boys succeeded in making a touchback the score then being 2 to 0. It was then our rooters showed the Newbergers how to yell. Page 74 THE LINCOLNIAN In the last quarter Newberg pulled a series of end runs which our boys found difficult to block and before time was out our opponents had succeeded in making two touchdowns. Newberg went home the proud possessor of the first victory for many years. The following men were awarded emblems, which have been changed from the small white “M” on the red, oval background to the large block “M”: Captain, Jess Nunn; Manager, Harold Taylor; Coach, E. C.

McMinnville, Oregon Page 79 HaskrtlraU One of the most successful basketball seasons that McMinnville High School has ever experienced was that of 1916. At the opening of the season an unusually large number of men turned out and after some hard training under Coach Loucks a real basketball team began to show form. In spite of the fact that not one of last year’s men were here, M. H. S. had a championship team. At the first of the season a practice game was played with the Alumni. Then, on December 17th, the boys journeyed to Salem and there met defeat at the hands of a more experienced team. On December 23rd the Chemawa Indians came over “to get our scalps” as Manager Henry expressed it but were compelled to be satisfied with the small end of a 38 to 18 score. January 8th Hillsboro’s fast little team came up with the expectation of ending our career as basketball players, but before the evening was over they realized they had tackled too big a job. The boys met their second defeat at Chemawa. This was to be expected as the Chemawa team was a college team. The next game was played at Forest Grove. The Grovers put up a good fight but our boys were too much for them for they succeeded in bringing home the big end of a 25 to 15 score. The next evening, January 22nd, the Jefferson High quintette of Portland came up to show us how to play basketball as they expressed it. This was one of the best games of the season as both teams were in good condition and full of “pep.” The first half was fast and full of excellent team work. At the end of the second half the score was a tie. It was decided that they would play five minutes longer and our boys, taking advantage of those five minutes, succeeded in making three more points the score then being 20 to 17 in our favor. Believing that a little signal practice would help the boys, a game was scheduled and played with Yamhill. From all reports the signals worked fine as the boys ran up a score of 75 to 5 on the poor little Yamhillers. The next day, January 29, the team went to Monmouth and there defeated the High School team by a score of 29 to 21. Page 80 THE LINCOLNIAN February 5th the Forest Grove team came up to get revenge for the whipping they received at our hands a few weeks before. The score again ended 25 to 15 in our favor. That made the third time that a M. H. S. team had defeated a Forest Grove team by a score of 25 to 15, in the last two years. Our invincible quintette next met the Salem team and defeated them by a 27 to 22 score. This was the first time Salem had been defeated for two years and it made her feel a little blue to think that she was defeated by a High School team from a little town like McMinnville. On March 8t.h the team accompanied by a train load of rooters journeyed to the “peaceful city” of Newberg. The game was a hard fought one but the boys, not being used to playing in a cracker box and missing one of our star forwards, Ralph Champion, who had been hurt, were defeated by the Newberg quintette. The second game with Newberg, the greatest game of the season, was played on the local floor March 10th. Newberg came in a special train and with the determination to win the game by a score even larger than that on their own floor. However, their air castles were doomed to destruction. The game was fast from start to finish but our fellows had sincerely made up their minds to win from their opponents. At the end of the first half the score was 14 to 14. The second half started off like a whirlwind but superiority began to show itself and by the time the revolver cracked the Newberg team had made only 9 more points while our boys had made 15 more. Newberg certainly hung her head and she departed for home without a word. Thus ended our basketball season. Before going any further we wish to say that Manager Verne Henry deserves much credit for his able management. It isn’t every manager that is able to make basketball a paying proposition, but such was Mr. Henry’s success.

Albert Bishop was chosen as coach and Manager Nunn, securing the city ball park for games and practice, arranged a heavy schedule. The first game played was at Salem on April 8th, but w e were defeated by their more experienced team. The following week the team met and defeated Amity High School team on their grounds by a score of 6 to 0. April 22nd the boys went to Dallas and there out played the High School team by the close score of 2 to 1. We wrere unfortunate enough in this game to lose our second baseman, Willie Martin. While McMinnville, Oregon page 83 sliding on third base he dislocated his knee and was unable to play for the rest of the season. The return game with Salem was played on the local grounds April 29th. Its beginning gave promise to a close and interesting game, as both teams were in good condition. However a few errors caused us to lose a hard fought for game. On May 3rd the team went to Forest Grove and there defeated the High School team by a score of 13 to 0. The schedule for the rest of the season is as follows: Abroad May 6...............................................Newberg High At Home May 13...................................... Dallas High May 20.................................Forest Grove High June 3................................. . ..Newberg High.. Snutta There has been a great deal of interest in tennis this year. When the weather is nice, the five courts are usually full and many spectators are watching the lively games. Two tournaments are on in full swing this season—one open for all tennis players, and managed by the Girls’ Athletic Association’s tennis manager. The men’s singles, ladies’ singles, mixed doubles, men’s doubles and ladies’ doubles seem each to be endeavoring to have the most enthusiastic aspirants. The three girls who win in the girls’ doubles and singles in each class will receive tennis emblems from the association, while the class which makes the greatest number of points in all will receive the tennis cup. This cup is now held by the Junior High School. Page 84 THE LINCOLNIAN (Stria’ AthU'tir Aaannatum The Girls’ Athletic Association which was organized last year, still continued during this year. A constitution was made and adopted. It included all the requirements of the members and also arranged for the rewarding of emblems to the legal players of basketball, baseball, track and tennis. Basketball coming first Miss Beck was chosen as coach, Margaret Hamblin as manager and Monema Wood captain. The following girls were players of the first team: Merle Stater, Forward Monema Wood, Forward Mary Ballard, Sub. Forward. Hallie Hastings, Guard Sibbie Beatty, Guard Myrtle Ballard, Sub. Guard Margaret Smith, Running Center Pebble Brixey, Jumping Center Irene Anderson, Sub. Center Two games were played with the Junior High School girls each team winning a game. On Feb. 22 the team went to Dayton and played the Dayton girls defeating them by a score of 12 to 6. The Dayton team was given a return game here March 9, and were again defeated the score being 12 to 7. Great interest was taken in the Spring athletics. Nearly all of the girls entered one or more of the three sports, baseball, track or tennis. McMinnville, Oregon Page 85 Assnriatrii i tuiinit lllnitu Officers President—Jesse Nunn Vice President—Clifford Stevens Secretary—Klara Corrigan Treasurer—Hugh Whirry Sergeant-at-arms—Earl Norgard For several years the High School life of the students has been organized into a body for the purpose of centralizing the various student activities and enterprises and the securing of unity of action upon all questions which might come before a student body. All students may become members of the association and on the payment of a dollar and a half a year they are entitled to a ticket which admits them to all student body activities. We believe that this method of carrying on our student activities is undoubtedly one of the most successful methods. The social part of our school life has been most successful. The meetings of the Association, which are many, have proven both interesting and beneficial, and under the able president many good measures have passed the approval of the students. One of the measures of most interest to the students was the voting of sweaters to the Basketball team, Coach and Manager.

The members of the class are of such superior quality that we found it very hard to select officers. Finally we came to a satisfactory decision, the honored ones being as follows: The greatest drummer of McMinnville, The Hon. Arthur Webber, President; one of the Ninth grade’s most peaceful and truth loving young men, James Burleson, 14th cousin of Post Master General of U. S., Vice President; and the champion debater of Hie English classes, Lola Essley, Secretary-Treasurer. If it was not for the wonderful prowess and all around ability of some of our scintillating stars the Junior High would not be so famous for its athletics. We have furnished two men for the Senior High football squad besides being well represented on both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams of the Junior High. The class has dissipated very little this year in the way of social functions. We gave one hardtimes party but Mrs. Hartman was such a shock to some, that we dared not give another one of the same chaiacter, lest she might spoil her fair countenance. During one of the winter snows the class walked to the poor farm one morning to participate in a day’s coasting. We had all the snow, cold, and baked potatoes we could stand for one year. Gladys Taylor aroused much sentiment, in the form of hard feeling and jealousy, in many a heart when she made her appearance at the basketball game March 10, with the most fashionable and sought after young man of the Senior High, Max Naybeiger. The broken-hearted young ladies held a mass meeting the next day and after spreading the consolation and enjoying a heait talk, they decided to start a campaign as Max was still young. Thomas Collard was very down hearted and had sworn to take revenge on Earl Reeves of the Eighth grade for thwarting him in love, but he buried himself in his work and drew cartoons of his happy days so that now he is reconciled to his fate and can give the happy couple his blessing. We feel that the success of the class was due to the splendid co-operation of Mi. Moore and the class teacher, Miss Henderson. McMinnville, Oregon Page 91 Page 92 THE LINCOLNIAN lEtgbth ®raiix' Whenthefirstschoolbellcalledusbacktoschool life, seventy-five students answeied the summons and became members of the Eighth Grade. Since that time some new students have enrolled and several have been forced to abandon their pursuit of education. Early in the year we met and elected the following officers: Delmar Alderman, President; Belle Champion, Secre- tary-Treasurer and Grace Edmunds, Vice-Pres. Each person has worked hard for the success of the class and as a result we are the victors. At the first of the year a track meet was held between the three classes. We carried away the honors with ease, outdoing our competitors in nearly every event. When the basketball season came in it was decided that a pennant should be given to the class coming out victorious in this sport. Th players on our team were Gerald Crawford, Earl Reeves, Garland Hayes, Floyd Wright and Hurd Anstadt. After some hard fighting and “heady” playing we were proud to see that pennant placed upon the wall, by the members of our team. Our class party, held in February was a complete success and was enjoyed by all. Four officers of the Associated Student Body come from our ranks. They are Floyd Wright, Manager of the Paper; Earl Reeves, Treasurer; Edna Prickett, Secretary, and Harold Shipley, Property Clerk. Harold Shipley, Eber Stone, and Harley Looney did excellent work on the first basketball team. On the girls’ team two of our members, Cynthia Brown and Winifred Crawford, made the spectators’ eyes stand out by their brilliant playing. We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to our most efficient class teacher, Miss McCulloch, and to all other members of the Faculty who have helped make the Junior High School a success. McMinnville, Oregon Page 93 Page 94 THE LINCOLNIAN Sriu'tttli (Ikaiir The seventh grade of the Junior High School opened this year with an enrollment of 59. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Ella Henry; Secretary, George Beeler; Treasurer, Ruth Riley. On April 21, we indulged in a party at the Junior High School building. Many games were played after which light refreshments were served. All present declared that they had enjoyed themselves greatly. The seventh grade has shown a great deal of school spirit and under the able supervision of our class teacher, Miss Dobie, we hope to make our class one to be remembered in the history of the Junior High School.

McMinnville, Oregon Page 95 THE LINCOLNIAN Page 96 tRrrcgtiun fur (U'arbrrs atth Nnu tub ruts The first social event of the year was held at the Junior High School on Tuesday, October 26, 1915, being a reception to all Junior High Students. Each class gave a “Stunt” after which games were played and refreshments served and all had a good time. (Clrr (Club ftartii The girls’ and boys’ glee clubs enjoyed themselves greatly at a party at the Christian church soon after the reception. Refreshments were served and a good program was offered.

Ninth (Stabr partu Being the senior class, the ninth grade had the privilege of having the first class party. This was held at the Junior High School not long after the glee club party.

Eighth (Srahr flartu On Saturday, February 19, 1916, the eighth grade had their first class party. A good program was given, which all enjoyed, after which light refreshments were served.

McMinnville, Oregon Page 97 Owls' Athlrtirs The girls’ basketball season started shortly after the Thanksgiving vacation. The girls secured the use of the pavilion immediately after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A game was played between the 8th and 9th grades which ended in a score of 8 to 4 in favor of the 9th grade. Later a team was picked to represent the Junior High in two games with the Senior High girls. The Senior High girls won the first game by one point but the second game was won by the Junior High, the score being 9 to 1. However, in the second game the girls of the Senior High did not have their best players on the floor which was probably the cause of their not making a larger score. Three games were played with out of town teams. Dundee played here and lost by a score of 13 to 0. On Jan. 28, the girls accompanied by a number of enthusiastic students and teachers journeyed to Sheridan through ice and snow. They did not regret having taken the trip as the result of the game was 17 to 11 in favor of the Junior High. On Feb. 18, a return game was played in McMinnville, the score being 7 to 6 in favor of the visiting team. The girls are now taking up the spring athletics which are volley ball, tennis and playground ball. Page 98 THE LINCOLNIAN This is the first year we have had volley ball and the interest is so great that two courts are continually in use from morning until night. The smaller girls enjoy volley ball better than any other sport. There was a series of games between the 8th and 9th grades which ended in favor of the 8th grade. In playground ball four teams have been formed, the Angels, Cubs, Beavers and Seals. Two teams play on Mondays and Fridays. There have been practice class games but no match games have been played. The girls’ athletics have added much to the life and activity of the Junior High, and although we did not have the opportunity to defeat Newberg we feel that we have accomplished a great deal. On the basketball trip out of town, the team was courteously received and we feel that meeting other girls in athletics has meant a great deal to us. At the close of the season, appropriate emblems were given to the girls and coaches as a reminder of pleasant times spent together. Unya’ Atlilrlira When the call for recruits, to represent the J. H. S. gridiron contests of 1916 came, last October, the prospects looked doubtful with so many of the 9th giaders gone. But despite the fact, with the excellent coaching of R. U. Moore, a fast and gritty bunch with lots of pep was produced. On October 16 came the 135-pound Newberg team to meet us in our annual game. The teams, evenly matched in weight, played a tie game until the last five minutes when two Newberg men were put out of the game on account of injuries. Then McMinnville by a series of line plunges scored a touchdown just as the whistle blew, ending the game 6 to 0 in favor of the home team. Immediately after Thanksgiving day our attention and interest naturally turned to basketball. The outlook for a championship team looked extremely good with such stars as Captain Van Orsdol, Shipley, Brown, Trent, Stone, Looney and Jensen back in the ring. On December 7th, we played our first game on Dundee’s floor, defeating them in a fast game by the score of 31-17. Shipley and Van Orsdol both played splendid ball, while our guards broke up many passes. McMinnville, Oregon Page 99 On December 13th, Dundee was slaughtered again on our floor, this time to the tune of 29 to 12. Van Orsdol and Ship-ley covered their heads with glory on this occasion by grabbing 23 points between them. Stone loomed up with his defensive work. On January 28th, with a splendid line-up, we journeyed to Sheridan to meet the high school team of that place. The game was fast and furious from start to finish, and we defeated them by a score of 21 to 16. Stone and Trent both played splendid ball, while Shipley at forward worked in fine style. January 22nd found us facing the Dayton High School team for battle on our floor. They, being used to playing in a dry goods box, were completely lost and swamped by a score of 34-10. Shipley was without doubt the star of the evening, making 22 of the 34 points. On the 7th of January we played the Willamina High School team at Willamina on a floor sadly lacking in the necessary measurements of width and length. We were defeated by a score of 2 to 1. On February 10th a return game was played, this time the score being in our favor 25-17. On Friday, Feb. 18th, Sheridan basketball fans, 150 strong, journeyed by special train to Mac to witness the closest game of the season. It was fast, furious and rough from start to finish. Our boys played a good game and at the end of the first half the score was 9 to 8 in favor of the Junior High. In the second half Shipley had the misfortune to be knocked out for the full count. This affected his playing to some extent and with considerable shifting in our line up we went down to defeat, the final score being 16-15. The final game of the season was played at Dayton Thursday, Feb. 24, 1916. Our boys were badly handicapped by the low ceiling and small floor. The game was lost by a score of 33 to 20. Thus ended a very successful season of basketball. The boys won 6 games and lost 3r The following boys won their letter. Van Orsdol (Capt.) Shipley, Brown, Stone, Trent, Jensen and Looney. Much credit as well as thanks should be rendered the team for their faithfulness in practice. Page 100 THE LINCOLNIAN Asanriatpfi tuitrut IBniiy At the close of last year, the Associated Student Body Nominating Committee, met and nominated three people for each office, as provided in the constitution. Before the election, each candidate was allowed to make a speech before the Student Body. The following members were elected as a result of the election, which took place two weeks later: President, Owen Calloway Secretary, Edna Prickett Vice-President, Velma Anthony Treasurer, Earl Reeves Business Manager, Leslie Farnham Manager of School paper, Floyd Wright Editor of School Paper, Thomas Collard Property Clerk, Harold Shipley Besides these officers, we have a Board of Auditors, consisting of one member of the Faculty and three students. The people who officiate are Wesley Hall, Lola Essley, Henry Patey, and Mrs. Hartman. At the end of the first semester, Velma Anthony moved to Albany, leaving us without a Vice-President. We have not elected another student to that office. The constitution called for two Vice-Presidents, but as it was found unnecessary to have both, we made an amendment to the constitution at the first Student Body meeting of the year, which does away with one of these officers, so we now have only one Vice-President. We have found it somewhat difficult to collect dues from some of the students and have started an installment plan making it much better for the students. We believe that this plan will be a good one, especially when the time for spring sports comes, as every one will then want to play baseball, tennis, playground ball, etc. During the basketball season the money has flown more freely than at any other time, for we have not only received more dues, but have also made several of the games a financial success, especially the game with Sheridan. Everything that the Student Body has started has been taken up with great spirit by the students. We do not lack spirit and have had a very successful year.

Page 102 THE LINCOLNIAN fRifHtmuriUr iriylt rluuil S’tuiirnt (Club The McMinnville High School Student Club was organized during the month of April, 1916, under the direction of the College Y. W. C. A., and is one of the many Y. W. C. A. clubs that are working among high school girls. Miss Pope, Miss Grover and Miss Vaile held several meetings with the girls of the High School and explained the aim and method of the organization’s work, and emphasized especially the help, inspiration, and the good wholesome pleasure which could be derived from such an organization in McMinnville High School. Further interest in the work was aroused by the attendance of several of the girls at the Y. W. C. A. at Forest Grove. The purpose of the Student Club is to deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of each one of its members, prepare them for better Christian service, and lead others to a personal relation to Jesus Christ. One of the aims of the club is to better acquaint the girls with each other so that a feeling of friendliness may be created among them and no girl may feel isolated or restricted to a group of four or five friends. The club has been very fortunate in securing the “Little Brown Cottage,” corner of First and A streets, for its meetings. These are held every Monday evening and are devotional in nature although a part of each evening is given over to business and a social time. The club now has about 30 members and hopes to broaden its work by including many more of the girls. All girls of the High school are eligible to the club and a hearty invitation is extended to them.

The college freshman year was proving very expensive to father, so he decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Charles when he came home. “Now son,” he said gravely but affectionately, “Your mother and I are spending just as little as we possibly can. I get up in the morning at 6:30 and work until after 5. But son, the money just won’t go around at the rate your expenses are running. What do you think we had better do?” For a moment Charles buried his head in his hands and after some deep thinking he replied. “Well father, I don’t see any other way but for you to work nights.” Oh, No. “Did you strike this fellow in an excess of irascibility?” “No sir, I hit him in the stomach.” So Sudden While Mr. Mason was correcting the mid-term examination papers he came to one that did not have a name upon it. He immediately recognized the paper by the writing as Audrey Dielschneider’s. Calling her to his room after school he asked her why she did not put her name on the paper whereupon she replied: “Well, Mr. Mason, I was in such a hurry that morning, because I had to take two examinations, and my name is so long that I did not write it on my paper.” “Why don’t you change your name?” he asked. Audrey, throwing her arms about his neck, blushingly answered, “Oh Mr. Mason, this is so sudden.” No Help Needed Clifford and Freda were having a special rehearsal of their parts for the High School play. The hour was late but they had gone through all their parts except the place where Freda was to put her arms around Clifford and kiss him Clifford suddenly noticed that Miss Shearer was getting weary and innocently (?) made this remark: “You don’t need to stay any longer, Miss Shearer; Freda and I can go through this part alone.” He Didn’t Know Miss Bechen—“Tell about the Turkish atrocities of the middle ages.” Horace—“I didn’t know they smoked cigarettes then.” McMinnville, Oregon Page 105 FLORA MALONEY Alumni EARL NORGARD Editor-in-Chief MARGARET HAMBLIN Music and Dramatics ERNEST ARTHUR Sporting BESSIE CONVERSE Literary RONALD LEWIS Jokes MURIEL PAUL Social FRED MUHS Business Manager PEBBLE BRIXEY Art McMinnville, Oregon Page 107 (ijhtr Aiutrrttsrrs Arcade The, Basket Grocery Atlas Bakery Bastian Bros., Engravers Beck’s Confectionery City Auto Service.

Rochester, N. Y. ai.....i [==31 ..1..I a.J ui- J r-TE....-j Slip Nnuhrnj Annual We notice that Newberg published her annual early this year and also that it is a creditable one, with the exception of a few mistakes. It is supported by the student body, which we believe is a good thing, but we try to edit and manage our annual without putting a member of the faculty on the staff. We also take pleasure in patronizing home industry. We have our book printed and bound in our own city instead of sending it to Salem. This statement was made in reference to their defeat by our basketball team here, March 10th. “This defeat, however, has no bearing on Newberg’s title for if McMinnville had a just claim to the state championship she forfeited it to us by refusing to accept a challenge for a second game.” They surely remember that we played two games with them, one on their floor March 8th and the other one on our floor March 10th. Possibly they mean a third game, but this can hardly be possible as Manager Henry says he received no negotiations from their manager for a third game, whatever. However, we do not let this bother us as Newberg is naturally a little jealous of our good basketball record. In spite of the fact that Newberg likes to “run us down” whenever she can, we bear them no other feeling than that of keen rivalry. □ □ □ Jkikrs Careful of His Complexion With sobs in his voice, the applicant for a meal and some old clothes had told his story and the kind-hearted woman had helped him. Now as he sat eating a hunk of bread and cheese she thought it wise to get in a little advice. So she began: Don’t you think it would be better for yourself if you used soap and water occasionally?” The tramp sighed dolefully. “I would ma’am—I would,” he answered eagerly, “but the truth is that there’s so many different kinds of soap, and it’s so hard to know which is injurious to the skin that I’m afraid to take any risks.” If a leap-year girl has tact enough she can make her victim believe he did the proposing. Forgot Her Two Sophomore girls were quarreling during the noon hour in the study hall of which Miss Wooten had charge. “You’re the meanest old hen I know,” one shouted at the other. “And you’re the worst cat I ever saw,” was the retort. Miss Wooten interfering said, “Girls! girls, You forget that I am in the room.” a □ “'i XT' ly7' That we have the only fully equipped UO 1 Oil lY lOW, Sash and Door Factory and Planing 1 Mill in Yamhill County, that our Saw Mill is located in Yamhill County, that we operate our own Logging Camps, Railroads, etc., and that we furnish you just the kind of material that you may need, from the Standing tree to the Finished product of any kind, all under the supervision of one Company.
