Deane Smith E L 5 U S U R R O Senior Advice Q VVe, the outgoing class of 1915, leave the following sage advice and few suggestions to those whom we feel will be most benefited by the same: I, Louis Vierra, advise Frank Bordges to follow my example and find a companion to brighten his long, lonely walks to and from the depot. I, Maude Scudder, advise all Juniors to think long before accepting the editorship of El Susurrof' I, Karl Klauman, advise the girls to refrain from the use of crimpers, and let their hair go in natural waves, like mine. I, Hallie Hitchcock, advise the Freshman class to follow the example of the Sophomores in their careful selection of otiicers. It is seldom one finds a president so eager in promoting class picnics, etc. I, Howard Hatton, advise Wilton Gunzendorier to remember that silence is goldenj, and practice it in future Student Body meetings. I, Helen Thompson, advise all those carrying on extensive corre- spondence to cultivate acquaintance with a mail carrier. Prompt delivery is alwaysassured. , I, Elbert Hitchcock, offer this advice to all Freshmen: Dig, if nec- essary, the first two years, but above all things, don't wait until your Senior year to make up the remaining six credits. I, Mary Salterbach, advise Roland Noack and all of the Freshmen boys to keep up the good work begun so nobly on the evening of Friday, April 16. I, Loraine Gunzendorfer, advise all the girls to never allow their hearts to go adrift. ' I, VVilhelmina Clark, advise Nell Scudder to curb her boisterous ways and follow the quiet, sedate example that I have set for her. I, Deane Smith, advise the Freshman boys not to wait until the last three months of their Senior year to exchange class pins. I, Meyrl Pugh, advise the boys to cultivate a taste for music, as I have done. I, Louis Wolters, simply advise all not to accept Smith's or Pugh's advice. but to dwell in single blessedness. I2 EL SUSURRO I, Grace Layton, advise Vincent Enea to continue in his dramatic pursuits. I, Alta Lyons, advise John Carton to try the remedy for darkening red hair, noting the successful results of my own application. I, Phil Salterbach, advise all the fellows to go minus a hat. It has saved me much time and expense and in addition I have gained my crown of golden locks. MARY SALTERBACH, HOVVARD HATTON, HALLIE HITCHCOCK. Class P oem Q Four long years have glided by us, Since, as Freshmen full of glee, Scarcely looking toward the future We began so joyfully. Thinking high school a pleasure, Soon we found to our dismay That for all our idle pleasures NVe must later dearly pay. So with grim determination Bearing high our banner bright, VVC, with steps toward nineteen fifteen, Launched ourselves into the light. Rough our path, with many straying, Our brave number lessened fast, Yet we closed the ranks left vacant By the ones that could not last. Always upward, ever striving , Each to help his friends along, Thus we finish as we started, With our number ever strong. As the class of nineteen fifteen Drifts apart, each going his way, Though apart, the ties that bind them Shall be thoughts of Monterey. -ELBERT HITCHCOCK. I3 Class Prophecy Q It was in the year of 1911 that thirty-four brightsclad angels en- tered the garden of Eden. They toiled industriously among the fair golden poppies and the tall murmuring pines. But in the following year these joyous angels lost some of their number, and when another year had passed, it was found that thirteen, through the evil guidance of other attractions, had been led astray to the realms of outer dark- ness. It is now four years since the angels entered this beautiful gar- den, and they have lost all but sixteen. Sixteen haughty, proud, in- quisitive creatures, so unmanagable that they disregard the guiding hands of destiny. Now, as you are all familiar with the Garden of Eden, you know that in it is the tree of forbidden knowledge. Is it strange then that these proud, unworthy angels should disobey? Our little trouble-maker, Meyrl, 'while wandering through the garden, plucked a basket of this rare fruit, and dared the rest to eat of it. All agreed, if he would taste it first. So he took no time in de- vouring one of the rare apples. Instantly, as in a dream, he found himself in a spacious room, filled with pianos and allvmusical instru- ments, assisted by a golden-haired demonstrator. Hungry Mary next grabbed a large, beautiful apple. Immediately she was on the vast stage of the Metropolitan Opera House, of New York City, rehearsing that world-famous opera. Lofhen-grin, which was to First appear in this metropolis. Louie, our little Frenchman, tasted an apple, and found himself busily working over a perpetual motion machine. Suddenly, as by magic, the thought came to him that by the simple device of cutting off gravitation, this wonderful mechanical device would run for ages. Unobserved, Loraine snatched an apple. The moment she tasted it, behold, she was in a large designing house in Paris, draping an exquisite wedding gown about sweet Hallie. VVhen the vision passed, ?oraine told Hallie about it, who was now afraid to indulge in the rare 1'l11t. In time our leader, Elbert, deigned to eat of this forbidden fruit, and lo, in an up-to-date dental parlor in San Francisco, he stood, instru- ment in hand, filling the cavities of one of the prominent and thrifty y'1fg?1ag lawyers of said city, Clayton P. Salterbach, commonly known as ll . 3 - Maud next devoured a rosy apple, and found herself wandering on the hot, breathless veranda of an -immense hospital in India. For, now time hadchanged, and she was matron of this charitable institution, which was doing so much good for the poor natives. I4 EL SUSURRO Howard ate, and immediately found himself working diligently over a new wireless telephone, capable of conveying messages over thousands of miles of prairie, even as far as the Metropolitan Deane, possessed with his usual sense of hunger, ravenously ate one of nature's best products, and at once there appeared before him a large room full of eager students awaiting the instruction of their learned Professor of Mathematics, Deane Smitht Grace was so happy over her vision that in spite of her joyfulness she saw herself in the far-oi?-land of New Zealand, teaching the young and frivolous Englishmen how to use their h's properly. Karl next ate of this forbidden fruit. The scene opened on a crowded auditorium, listening with breathless interest to the tall orator who stood with drops of respiration on his brow. Fearless Alta, after eating of the fruit, saw herself touring the higher altitudes with her aviator-husband in the latest model of biplane. This basket of rare fruit was slowly diminishing, but Louie 'Wol- ters was quick enough to get his share. He saw himself working away on his scientific farm, proudly displaying the results of grafting lemons on raspberry bushes. . Helen nibbled slowly on one'of the apples. She saw herself lead- ing a band of militant suifragettes, about to storm the U. S. Capitol. Billy grabbed the last apple, and finished it in two bites. There appeared before her an office, upon the door of which was written, VV, Clark, President of Monterey-Fresno Railroad. -HELEN THOMPSON, -VVILHELMINA CLARK. Class Song E . f .

The Love Affalr of a Kewple Q , H, dear, I said aloud, as I gazed at the paper on my desk, how I wish that I could think of something to write for English. Suddenly I heard a slight noise in A front of me. and looked up to see standing on the edge , of my paper, a small person-no other than my kewpie. L - VVhy -I gasped in surprise. Why, where did A you come from ? A slight gurgle, which I took to be A a laugh, answered me, and the small, elfish face gazed up into mine. ' I'll tell you something to write about, he gurgled, and grasping my long pen in his little hands, dragged it across the top of the paper, and I saw written, A Kewpiels Love. The idea seemed so ridiculous that I laughed, and said: Why, what do you know about love? But the hurt expression on his face warned me that I had offended him. Tell me about it, I added quickly. He gazed at me doubtfully. Yon won't tell anyone? he questioned. No, I answered, trying to refrain from smiling. Evidently satis- fied that I was interested, he leaned against the ink well and started his story. Of course, you remember when you got me-it was at the Church Fair. I had been in a stuffy Five and ten cent store until a little old lady came and bought me among a collection of several other things. VVe were all wrapped up in paper and put into a large bag called a 'Grab Bag' Suddenly I heard a voice near me say, 'You are- hurting me. Won't you please move?' A jar of the bag loosened the paper from around me, and I found myself near a little japanese doll, who gazed at me angrily. 'You certainly have few manners,' she murmured. and I was just about to reply, when a hand was thrust into the bag. and when I looked around. my little Japanese companion had dis- appeared. I7 EL SUSURRO 'Oh!' I mournedg 'why didn't they take something else?' Soon the hands were thrust in oftener, but no matter how I wished it, no- body took me. 'Two bits a grabl' I heard someone shout. 'Two bits a grabl' The bag shook and jolted, until it seemed that I would surely break. A long time passed before I was finally rescued from the bag by you. You brought me home, and set me on your desk. and who should I see on your dresser but my little japanese friend. Yes, I remember, I ventured reply. Perhaps you are getting tired of my story? he asked, sitting down on a box of writing paper. No, no! I answered quickly, for I was interested. Well, he went on, I gazed at her for a long time, but she would not look at me, and I was sure that she had seen me. Finally I ventured to say, 'Good evening.' She turned her head and gazed at me loftily. 'Were you speaking to me?' she asked. I 'Yes, I said good evening, ' I answered. 'Well, you needn't have bothered,' she said coldly, and turned quickly away. All day long I gazed at her, and began to fear that some day she would be taken away or fall oil' the dresser. She never spoke to me again. One day a little child came into your room and took her down from the bureau. It made me shake to see the way he grasped her, and suddenly I heard her give a little cry, and saw her fall to the floor with a crash. Then you came and picked her up. You set her on the desk near me. I spoke to her, but she was quite broken and still. Then you took her away, and I have not seen her since, he sobbed. Well, I ventured sensibly, you ought to be glad that you aren't broken. But I'll paste her together for you, if you really want me to, I told him. Immediately his face was smiling, and he grasped my finger in his little hands. I wish you would! Oh, I wish you would, he shouted in his tiny voice. Then he grew dim before my eyes, and I, bewildered, looked quickly about. There he stood in his old place on my desk. Why in the world you put that cracked Iapanese doll on your dresser is more than I can understand, my mother said the other day. f'Oh, she'S cute, I said, ashamed to tell her of my silly action of pasting the doll togetherg but every time I look at my kewpie's pleased face, I feel that maybe it is not so silly after all. . -ALICE HILBY, '16. 'r ' q , , f, 1 LQ , - - I8 E L S U S U R R 0 ltching for Bear Meat Q I don't see no turkeys aroun' here no how, said Sam as he entered a small meadow by the river. I guess dem hogs scared ,em all away and -but a big black object crawled out of the bushes on the other side of the meadow and sat on its haunches to eat some shoots of a vineg presently another one followed and stood beside it. Sam gave one look, then- I wonder why dat boy am comin' like a witch was after him, said old Essiah, as he slowly stood up from his chair on the porch. Hurry up and git ye gun, da's two beahs in de meadow, cried Sam. Why didn't ye shoot 'em, 'stead a botherin me 'bout it, said Essiah. How you 'specks me to kill two beahs with one load of number five shot. Hurry up, git ye gun. I's just itchin' for beah meat. A few minutes later the two negroes were crawling along the ground towards the meadow. Dey say da bunch a hogs is in dis part now, whispered Essiah. I hopes we don't meet 'em if dey are heah,'l returned Sam. A rustle in the bushes made Essiah jump. Aw, it's nothin' but a swamp rabbit, said Sam. VVell, he didn't jump no higher'n you did, Essiah retorted. Say, l1eah's fresh hog tracks---f' But the words had just escaped him when a row of black snouts, each like a double barrel shot- gun, and nearly as dangerous, protruded from the side of the trail. There was a cypress just in front of them by the river, and the two negroes lost no time in reaching it. There they fired their guns, and the leader of the hogs fell. At the sight of blood, the pack of twenty or thirty razor-backs came more furiously than ever, to find the two negroes safely lodged on a limb of the tree. They stood a few moments looking up, then slowly went off a little distance in the meadow, knowing the hunters were out of their reach. Now's our chance, said Essiah. VVe'll slide down, jump in de river, and swim to de house. ' Sam slid quickly down, and slipped into the river. But the hogs saw him, and ran up to the tree before Essiah could get down. I9 A EL SUSURRO Well, da'll go off in a minute, said Essiah to himself. But he waited several minutes, and the hogs still stood under him. I wonder if I's got to live up heah g but just then an idea struck him. He took off his coat and swinging it above his head, threw it far into the meadow. At once the hogs started after it, and while they were tearing it, Essiah slipped down the tree and into the river. A dripping figure was seen walking up the road to the house where Sam was drying his clothes. See heah, Massa Sam, broke in Essiah, de next time you'se itchin' for beah meat, don't you bother meg yo' jes go an' scratch. --HARRY A. GREENE, '16. The Gift of the Rainbow Q Oh, beautiful arch, o'er the brightening sky, When ceases the rain and you're left upon high, How many myths about thee are told, And one of them tells ofa great pot of gold. It is said, where end rainbows can always be found A great store of wealth to be dug from the ground, But that is a myth, as everyone knows, Yet it has some foundation, as I will disclose. For during a rain, when the sun's shining too, VVhile the earth becomes warm, and like sparkling dew The bright drops are glimmering o'er the earth's face, We go in quest of a secret place. Though the coveted metal may never be found, VVe are amply rewarded for tilling the ground, When the crops of the future will greatly exceed Those of the past in reward for the deed. So the crock of gold is really a fable, That shows how the rain, and our work will be able To reap in the future a harvest of grain, Whose richness is due to the sun and the rain.

Philip Wilson Treasurer .............................. Alice Hilby The class of '16, ever since their Freshman days, have been famous for doing things, and the year 1914-15 has seen no decrease in their activities. Before the Christmas holidays, to add a little excitement to the monotony in the old building, the Juniors had an auction sale of pies. Moke Redbrook, in a white apron and cap, held up each pie for in- spection, while they were auctioned off by Phil Salterbach. ,On the Friday preceding Easter vacation, the Seniors were the guests of the Junior Class on an enjoyable motor-truck ride around the seventeen-mile drive, with a moonlight picnic lunch served at Pebble Beach. March 12, 1915, under the auspices of the Junior Class, Professor Alexander gave a number of funny recitations to the Student Body. The proceeds went to the Journal, of which the class are managers. With its publication in June the activities of the Class of '16 ends. 2l EL SUSURRO The Haunted Pines Q I love to wander in the woods, And trail the forest stream, And pluck the Howers from shady nooks And watch the waters gleamg And sit down on the rocky -ledge, Nearby the waterfall, And listen to its murmuring voice, b And hear the wood folk call. I love the haunts of solitude, Where naught but Nature callsg More lovely far these forest scenes, Than any marble halls! The song of bird. the laughing brook, The whispering trees that bend: ' Are sounds rnost welcome to mine ear, ,If shared with some dear friend. But all alone I feel so small, And frightened at each sound, That comes from bird, or brook, or tree, VVhen no one else is 'ronnd. And even with a friend along, I've frightened been sometimes, At ghost-like voices of the woods. That seem to speak of crimes. Iive even felt my heart stand still- Each hair rise up with ease, At nothing more to frighten me, Than rubbing of two trees. But, oh! VVhat doleful sound it made, Like dying groans and sighs, Of some imprisoned soul in pain, VVho to break its fetters tries. 22 EL SUSURRO When hrst I heard this wierdly sound, I did not pause to learn From whence it came, or what it was, But homeward I did turng With flying feet and streaming hair, I sped the forest throughg And never stopped to look behind, Till home came into view. Sometimes since, I have listened there, And laughed at my haunted pines, That sent me scurrying through the woods, O'er brush and tangled vines. And even now I must confess, I should not like to be Left on a dark and stormy night Alone, by that same tree. -GRACE KLAUMANN, '18 ,'1il,, me in t e , K W it to x ..... ... 23 EL SUSURRO Her Ride Q Gee, whiz! How I hate Latin! Blamed old stuff! Never can get it! Two, four, six, eight more lines before I'm through, and got a raft of English to read besides, and Miss Watson asked for these ever- lasting history note books tomorrow. -Mine's simply miles behind. Say! I'll be glad when I'm through High. No college for mine, grumbled Mabel Eaton, as she pondered over a particularly difficult sentence in Cicero. Not that she was putting her mind very enthusiastically upon the translation before her, but she so wanted to finish reading V.'V.'s Eyes before going to bed, and her father always insisted upon his scholars, as he called his three High School children, being in bed by ten o'clock. Bum qucm Pompeius Icgat-us sempfr indicavit, et quibus rrrat-. What can that be? She turned over to the vocabulary, finding the meaning of the new words, then carefully cribbed them in very faint pencil marks above the Latin. But when the 'words had all been found, the meaning was as vague as before. Again she counted the lines-eight more to be done. Oh, well, I just can't get that now. I'll go on to my English, and maybe I'll have time -to find that stuff in the morning. She closed the volume of despised Latin, placed it emphatically on the other side of the table, and reached for her English book. Mabel, said her father, without glancing up from his writing at his end of the family study table, do you know where my old account books are P Why, yes, dad, mother said she'd put them in the attic. I'll go hunt for them, she added, only too glad for an excuse to leave the despised studying for a few moments. She pushed her chair back from the table, left the room, hurried up stairs, and arriving in the upper hall, opened the doorway leading to the attic stairs. She counted them as she went-fourteen-and even then, knowing the exact number, felt hesitatingly for another step bei fore wallcingforward into the inky blackness. Pity they didn't fix a switch by the door, she muttered as she groped unsuccessfully for the light with one hand held high above her head, while she warded off contact with immovable objects with her other. But finally the cord came into her hand, she felt the end, then ' 24 EL SUSURRO the bulb, and in a moment's time the low-beamed attic was changed from the densest darkness to a mellow, shadow-filled light. I Now, Mrs. Eaton was an ideal housekeeper, so the neighbors said, but her attic, hidden from the casual glance of the friendly friend, was the exception that proved the rule. A clear space from door to light, andithen a chaos of cast-offs. As far as one could see into the gloom were boxes of things, for all the Eatons had a saving strain, and could not bear to throw anything away. Old bookcases, better burned than saved, two-legged chairs, a pile of worn-out shoes, whose leather dad said was just the thing for washers, which he invariably bought in- stead of made, piles of magazines, clothes, books, arrayed in dust-laden heaps. Some day we'll get at that attic, said Mrs. Eaton, but the day had never come. Mabel looked down upon this hodge podge, whiffed the closed-in, old clothes-laden air, then gazed off into the gloom. Her eyes rested there but a second, for there was something uncanny in those shadows, for all she knew, there was nothing there to fear. Where could mother have put those books? A glance revealed a clean-looking box, partly filled with well-worn books. It was then that Mabel remembered that when Uncle Sam's family moved to the next town, several weeks ago, they had sent over this box, saying that perhaps the Eatons could use the contents. Mother had promptly added it to the overflowing attic. Undoubtedly she had placed the account books there, too. Mabel knelt beside the box, and commenced her search. Yes, there they were, right on top. She laid them on the Hoor. . Guess I'l1 just see what's in here before going downq Humph- just a lot of old Sunday School books-and- A half hour had passed, when an impatient masculine voice sounded up the stairway: Haven't you found those things yet? it asked, while a step sounded on the lowest stair. Mabel started suddenly, looked around quickly, and softly closing the book in her lap, slipped it into the box, picked up the account books, and hurried to meet her father as he appeared. Yes, here they are, daddy, she answered, as she 'held the books out to him. Aren't you coming down P he asked, as he descended. In a moment. ' Her father's footsteps died away as Mabel went back to the box. Again she pulled out the book. Yes, here it is, right where that lesson was today-'Eum qucm Pompcius Iegatum-fi There was the sen- tence she was working over! How simple it seemed when you saw it. 25 - sl. susunno Q She read on. There were the whole eight lines of the lesson right be- fore her eyes, for she had found a Translation of Cicero's Orationsf' Again she read the printed words, then closed the book, pushed it beneath its shelter, and as she finished she heard a step. I'll use it just this once, she murmured, apologetically to herself, as she felt her conscience tell her it wasn't fair. At last the attic was in darkness. Cicero's Orationsn was buried beneath its box, while Mabel felt her way down the stairs. S'he came humming into the family study, but no one looked up as she entered. She took her place at the table, picked up the Latin and read the page. How perfectly easy it was! She read it through again, erased the cribbed words and knew that she could translate that lesson in her sleep. Five minutes passed and She was through. At nine o'clock she was reading V. V.'s Eyes. Wh'at! through already! exclaimed George in astonishment, as he chanced to notice Mabel reading. Why, yes! I didn't have much to do tonight, was the careless answer.. I That's funnyg thought you were growling like you 'had a ton of studyin' before you went upstairs, he answered. Keep still, she answered crossly, blushing at the mere mention of the attic, I want to re-ad. ' Ten o'clock came, with UV. V.'s Eyes unfinished. but with bed time and a sharp feeling of shame at the thought of going upstairs, so close to the attic. But Mabel was practical, so dismissed, as well as she could, any disagreeable thoughts, and was soon asleep in her cot, preparing for the next day of triumph. Feeling so confident at the prospect of a perfect recitation, it was with disgust that she heard Mr. Manchester say in Latin class the fol- lowing morning, Miss Eaton, will you please read the review? Review, shoot the review! Never get called on for anything I know, was her reflection, as she went stumblingly through the back lesson, her disgust increasing when she remembered that she could have gotten that from the translation book. But at last, the agony over, she sank back into her seat. Master Jonas, will you please do the same, commanded Mr. Manchester, and he added, there are several in the room who need to put more time upon their work. Mabel mentally performed various feats in which her tongue played an active part, -all of which Mr. Manchester was blissfully un- conscious, as she fixed her attention upon the book in front of her, and 26 f E L S U S U R R O complimented herself upon being the biggest fool in the United States for not having remembered that review. But there were days to come in which Mabel Eaton passed from only middlin fair in Latin to the best translator in the class. No passage that Mabel couldn't get, it was Mabel who helped the weak by the wayside, and cheered them with the words, Of course, I'd be glad to help you. It was Mabel, too, who got her lessons in live minutes, and no longer bothered to look up many of the words. It was Mabel who sang with a light heart and a hardened conscience these days at the pros- pect of the good mark she'd get in Latin this quarter. A month had passed. A Tuesday morning forever memorable in one life dawned. It was sunny. The air was clean washed, the birds sang, the trees quivered with a message of Spring. Mabel, in all the sweetness of her seventeen years, as fresh as the morning itself, in her starchy, white dress, hurried to school. There she found excited groups, talking, gesticulating. VVhat's it all about? she asked. Why, haven't you heard? responded three voices, all eager to tell the news., The University has sent down some men to examine the standard of the school. And one of them is a Latin man. Oh. goodness! I hope he doesn't come to our class this morning. Ch, Mabel, please help me with this sentence. Please, before the bell rings. I just have the awfulest lesson, but I worked and worked, a11d yet didn't get it, sighed Mary Sims, and if that man does come in, and Manchester calls on me, I'll die: that's all there is to it. Isn't he the solemnest looking thing, though F For a moment Mabel's heart stood still. Supposing he called on her, and she forgot how to translate. She'd say she had a headache and go home. Then she laughed at her fears. Let me see the sentence, May: perhaps I can get it. she volun- teered. Clang, clang, went the bell before May got her book opened, and boys and girls filed upstairs to their class rooms. Ting-a-ling, rang the electric bell, and the classes passed to their respective recitation rooms. And to Latin III, disappointment and sorrow, the University Latin professor was talking to Mr. Man- chester. Every member of the class hurried to be seated and to lose themselves in the printed page before them. I wish to introduce Mr. Bowers, of the Latin department of the State University. He will take my class for the first part of the period in order to ascertain the standard of the class as a whole, said Mr. Manchester. 27 E L S U S U R R O Mr. Bowers smiled pleasantly, picked up Cicero, and turned to the lesson. Consternation was depicted upon each face, and Mr. Bowers called upon Mary Sims to read the Latin. For once luck was with her, and she sat down after having made a perfect recitation. Around the room he passed, until it was Mabel's turn to recite the difficult passage which two victims had fallen before. She arose, read it off -without hesitation. The choice of words was perfect, rather unusual in a High School student, refiected Mr. Manchester, as he listened. Queer I never noticed that before, he commented to himself as he remembered the poor quality of Mabel's work not long before. Mr. Bowers nodded as she finished. He looked at her carefully as she sank into her seat. She blushed, for a feeling of guilt came over her. Seeing you understand the passage so well, he went on, will you please give the construction of alii?', Alii, alii-construction. Mabel found the word, translated it rapidly to herself. It seemed to have a dative meaning. Dative singular, she replied. The class gave 'a start, and seven hands were ,raised to correct the mistake. Another word he asked, another failure, until at last, mortiiied and blushing with shame, she sat down, confident that all in the room knew her dishonesty, as she sat with downcast eyes. Mr. Bowers, however, seemed to notice nothing unusual, while the class thought her merely confused. But' Mr. Manchester's eyes saw with a new sight. XVhy hadn't he noticed that sudden brilliancy be- fore ? he .asked himself. I am greatly pleased with the class, said Mr. Bowers a few moments later, as he took his departure. But Mr. Manchester made no reply. He gravely picked up the book the Latin professor had laid upon the desk. He assigned the lesson, then stood before his desk, hands clasped before him, as he looked from face to face. The silence grew oppressive. The clock ticked slowly on. Mary Sims nervously wiggled at her desk, but Mabel looked down at the pencil in her hand. It seemed to her as though the thump, thump of her own heart was the only sound in the room. She felt that Mr. Manchester knew her guilt. And then she heard him talking in a far-away voice. He was speaking of honor and trust, and at last he closed his speech with, I am sorry, but some one in this class is using a 'ponyf It must stop, or I shall publicly denounce her. The blow had fallen. Seven pairs of eyes were fixed upon him, seven pairs of lips parted breathlessly. Seven minds refused to believe that any one would use such a thing. Each one, guiltless though she knew herself to be, wondered r 28 EL SUSURRO if he could possibly be thinking of her. And each said indignantly to herself, l've never, never, rzvwr clone such a thing, so there! But Mabel sat, heartsick and guilty. Her throat was dry, her body seemed no part of her, while her head swirled as conscience beat within. And then the bell rang. Mechanically she gathered her books and passed out into the hall, where the class burst into indignant protest against the accusation before them. Did you ever hear anything so mean? said Mary Sims, as she affectionately slipped her arm through Mabel's. Why, what's the matter? she added, as Mabel turned to go downstairs instead of into the English room. Oh, I've -a headache, and am going to ask Mr. Thomas to excuse me, she replied, and left Mary looking sadly after her. Again she passed into the sunshine of the perfect Spring morning, but she felt no response to the call of nature. She walked hurriedly from street to street. Oh, how could she ever, ever have all the class know her guilt! She couldn't. She just couldnit. She wouldn't tell him she was using a pony. Yet she knew she would have to. And then P-a great weight was upon her heart, a sore lump rose in her throat, tears of remorse came into her eyes as she saw herself forced to make a confession before that class. Oh! the anguish of it! All joy of existence was blotted out in that torment of soul. Noontime came. It found her blocks from her home, but she turned wearily to go there, for mother would be waiting lunch. Sore, hurt, was the heart within, as she turned in at her own gate. But the house was empty, mother had left some sandwiches and a note that she had gone for the day. The boys, true to their nature, had taken their portion of lunch and gone. Mabel glanced at the remains and went up to her room. She lay down. She buried her burning face in the pillow, but could not rest. The conflict was on. She could not tell Mr. Manchester. She could not. The afternoon passed slowly. Four o'clock came. Mabel rose wearily, stood mechanically before the mirror, and combed back her hair. She left her room, walked slowly up the hall, up the attic stairs, pulled the pony from his shelter and went downstairs. There it was -that wretched, wretched book! How she wished she had never seen it. And then? Could she ever keep up her determination to tell Mr. Manchester and take the consequences? Oh, the disgrace of it! To feel all those eyes upon the dishonest member of the class! She was a criminal. She could never forget. She had learned a lesson. Four-thirty found her entering the school house. Perhaps Mr. Manchester will be gone, she said hopefully to herself, and then 29 EL SUSURRO blushed at her cowardice. How she hated to meet him when he had always been so kind to her! At last, with sinking heart, she stood before his classroom door. Not a sound in all that High School building until-what was that? A chair scraped over the floor as someone in his room arose from the desk. She started. She was about to run in fear. But instead she opened the door and walked into the Latin room. Mr. Manchester was arranging some papers in his desk, so did not look up until Mabel stood before him. What can I do for you ? he asked in his kindly voice. Mabel did not look at him, but stood in an agony of embarrassment before him. She tried to speak, but could make no sound, as she felt his eyes boring into her very soul. And then at last, she laid the book, the translation of Cicero's Orationsf' upon the desk. Tears stood in her down-cast eyes, and she felt that she might cry. I--- I'm sorry I used it, she at last managed to stammer out. I should have known better. Mr. Manchester looked at the young girl before him, and his heart ached for her in her trouble. There she stood, wretchedly waiting for her sentence. To her it seemed hours before he spoke. And then a surprise, a gratefulness such as comes to one entered her heart, for he answered, I appreciate your confidence. The book is accepted. Let us forget what has passed, and here pledge ourselves to do our best. And Mabel gave her word. -MAUDE S. SCUDDER, '15, To My Bull Dog Q You ugly, ugly creature!

The jolly crowd was chaperoned by Mrs. H. J. Carton and Mrs. Ney Otis. Our athletics have been very good this year, and it was one of our most loyal members, Lorin Lacey, who carried away the honors of being the best all-around athlete in the school. Dramatics have not escaped our interest, and plans are being made for the presentation of a sketch, School Days, to be given in the near future. The members holding offices for the year are: Ruby Luttle, Presi- dentg May Lyons, Vice-Presidentg Lorin Lacey, Secretary-Treasurer. 3l EL SUSURRO A Bargain in Ghosts Q ORD BERTRAM walked along apparently oblivious to all his surroundings, and, therefore, was not aware of some one hurrying toward him until he was brought to a sudden stop by a confusion of shoulders, arms, hands and suit case. Why, if it isn't Bertram! How are you, and where've you been all this time? I haven't seen you for months. 'Whats the matter, Bert, you look awfully glum, and what's on your mind that you didn't see me ? Glad to see you, Darwing glad to see you. XVhy, I say, you're just the fellow I need to help me out. That old castle has been worrying me for the past week. I've had an offer for it. VVell, I shouldn't think that would bother you much. Don'tyou want to sell it? XVho's the offer from P I've got to sell it, Dar. The fellow is Dr. Somers, a queer old American, and his daughter, with their American ideas of old castles and legends. He'll take it on condition there is a tradition and a genuine one. VVhat about that family legend of yours? Seems to me I've heard. something about one. 0 Oh, yes, there is one about one of my ancestors and his daughter. It is said that he intervened in a love affair and shortly after she died. He was mysteriously murdered at the time of her death. Each year their ghosts were seen alternately, and I have authentic documents of my grandparents and mother having seen them. They haven't appeared, though, to my knowledge, for over tive years, and the old fellow 1nust be convinced. The papers don't satisfy him. He and his daughter will be my guests at Charnleigh tomorrow. and it is neces- sary that either of the ghosts appear. But come, now, and dine with me, Dar., and perhaps you can help me solve the thing, concluded Bertram, picking up Darwin Peynton's things and hailing a cab. After a few moments of silence. save the noise of the cab wheels. 32 EL SUSURRO as they rolled grumblingly over the road. Peynton exclaimed abruptly: Remember that ghost scene in 'The Haunted Chamber' we gave in our Senior year? How was that? lNasn'.t I a realistic looking ghost of the unfortunate Lady Anne Arncliffe? Why, yes, but-- i Well, if you don't mind, I'll furnish you a ghost at the time appointed, if you can manage myentrance into Charnleighf' Fine, line. And as for your entering, let's see, why, I was taking my man Saunders with me, and you will be able to go in his stead. But here we are, and now I can eat with a good appetite. Dr. jerry B. Somers was the first to break the long silence which had reigned in the library of Charnleigh Court, by yawning audibly. I allow this waitin' business is a bit tryin' on a body's nerves. Don't you think so, Bertram ? It is rather, vaguely answered Bertram, continuing to gaze into the glowing heap of the log fire. It was really more trying than he cared to admit, and as the time for action slowly approached, the whole affair took on a less inviting aspect. By the way, continued Somers, which is it, the lady or gentle- man to appear tonight ? The gentleman, replied Letty Somers. Pardon me, said Bertram, but I believe it is the lady. Oh, I thought it was the gentleman's turn. On the contrary- Didn't the lady appear last, according to your mother's-- Exactly, but no one knows how many times since both have appeared. ' At this moment, the big clock solemnly struck out the half hour. Bertram hastily arose, and after being reassured of Miss Letty's deter- mination to see a real ghost, he led the way out into the hall. and up a broad oak stairway. Here they turned to the left, and going down a small corridor, entered a narrow passageway. They proceeded along this until they came to a point where the passage suddenly bent upon itself, communicating with the North Gallery, through an arch facing a tall window, in front of which the murder had taken place. This is the place, whispered Bertram. VVe can,see all from here. They waited, only exchanging whispered words at long intervals- when a door was heard being stealthily pushed open, and a faint sound of footsteps. The light from the window suddenly brightened, and at the same 33 EL SUSURRO time a shadowy figure, shrouded in a white veil, glided into view around the corner, while from the opposite direction a figure in long grey robes and a high hat, stepped out of the shadows. For a fraction of a second they confronted each other, and then with a piercing shriek, they vanished in the direction they had come. The first thing Dr. Somers said when the three entered the library again, was, Well, this beats all creation. Rather-a-remark,able, stammered Bertram. Miss Letty was very pale, and looked not a little unstrung. I think I shall go to my room nowf? she said, in a tremulous voice. ' Yes, replied the Doctor, 'fyou are looking a little peaky, my dear, and no wonder. We will accompany you to your door, said Bertram. Thank you, she answered faintly. They passed out of the room, leaving Dr. Somers to see to the fire, and switch off the lights. I--I am awfully sorry, murmured Lord Bertram, as they mounted the stairs. I hope you will suffer no ill effects from this business. I would never forgive myself-f-. But you aren't to blame, she cried in protest. Still, I fully expected that the ghost would really appear. You seein But not both ghosts? Nor I. I-forgive me, Lord Bertram, for I've greatly deceived youg my maid-- I I understand fully. I-a-must beg your pardon myself, Miss Somers, for my man Saunders you see-- Oh, I am so glad! But here comes father, and he firmly believes his eyes, you know. So good night, Lord Bertram. Good night, daddy, and she was gone, leaving Bertram standing with a somewhat surprised and yet half amused expression on his face to meet and ex- change a few last words with Somers, who had just reached the head of the stairs. -GRACE LAYTON, '15, X I fps f g f ,A- U 34 4 Comma 86 EL SUSURRO The jeweled Phial B STRANGE thing happened last night. I was sitting before the great open fireplace, with its insinuating purr and murmur, and was trying to interest myself in Paradise Lost. I yawned and laid aside my book, as the heat and glare of the fire confused more and more my wandering thoughtsg when as if from a great distance, I was suddenly startled to hear behind me, in a quavering, tiny voice: Art thou tired of the story of the cruel Satan? On looking around I was astonished to see a little old man with flowing beard and hair, dressed in the antique garments of an Egyptian sorcerer. If it be so, I have a sure panacea for thy troubles, he said, and imagine my surprise, when after picking up the book which I had just thrown aside, he handed it to me, and I saw written in gold letters a simple translation. I looked up in bewilderment, but he merely said. It was this little key, and drew from the folds of his garments a curious golden key. I gazed at him in doubt as he seated himself on a low foot stool before the hearth. From the hidden recesses of pyramids have I come to give the American students the result of my life's undertaking. For thousands of years I have wandered through the seats of learning, and 'my labors have been rewarded, for I now have within my possession the ideal state of a Senior. ,I have taken and condensed the brains of millions of juniors-they all unknowing-and have obtained twelve grains of good, common sense. I have distilled thousands of Faculties, and have found an infinitesimal grain of human kindness. Come, come with me, and breathe the vapor from this. He reached into the mysterious depths of his flowing sleeve, and brought forth a jeweled phial, filled with a fiuid. 'I did as he told me, and instantly the air about me grew thin. , The next moment I found myself in a large, beautiful building, full of life and action. Everywhere were students rushing about in great haste. In one room were some--apparently juniors-polishing the dusty boots of the Seniors, and carefully brushing their coats. In another entrance I noticed some students, whom I heard called 36 EL SUSURRO Sophs, carrying the books for the Seniors. When I reached another room the Soph who was my attendant, consigned his position to a Junior, who stood ready. Other juniors, assisted by Freshies, were carrying refreshments to the Seniors. Presently the peal of a bell was heard, and at once came a line of students into the room. Lastly, the professors entered the room, and I heard this conversation: Is there anything you wish me to learn for you today ? said one pedagogue. Yes, answered the Senior, work out that twenty-fourth problem in Trigonometry, and learn the fifteenth Theorem. I was-so astonished at this, and marveled so at the ease with which the lessons went on, that I gazed at the professor like one stupefied, until gradually his stern features seemed to relax and grow smaller, and like a panorama, the whole room passed before meg when lol I was again seated in my room, staring at the little man beside me. His small, keen eyes were twinkling with something I could not com- prehend, and he looked more mummy-like than ever. How didst thou like it? he said, in a squeaky voice. I could only manage to say, Great! My representative here thou wilt be, wilt not? he went on eagerly. See, here is the phial I will intrust to thee, with full directions for use in letters of Greek. I will tell thee that aa teaspoonful every Fall produces the desired results. I select thee to raise the American Seniors to their proper positiong and go! Redeem them l He jumped up as if to go. Stay! Am I not dreaming? Can I believe you? I will-but you, are you real or just a figment of my imagination ? A pained look came over his face. and he approached me, saying, Here, take my hand, thou doubting one, and believe. A peculiar feeling came over me, as a cold, clammy-like hand suddenly descended on mine, and a tingling sensation made me draw it back in pain. I looked up- He was not there. I raked together the dying embers of the fire. and their glow touched a glittering object on the hearth. Hastily I picked it up. only to let it fall from my nerveless lingers-it was the Golden Key. -HELEN THOMPSON, '15, gsr:.1r.':g5gi ' fl .5-st . 5 fl? lw' . .t 'I - ,Wh .nvQ 'lf J lSf!' l gwngvgv-'SQL' ,A ,gig V W' V-H-r? 22'-9' 37 EL SUSURRO Freshman Class Q We entered High School with a class of forty.

One nice day in April the class enjoyed a picnic back of the school.

It was also given that the students might enjoy the Senior Ball.

The boys showed good spirit when track season came, although none of the boys made the team, they began practicing for the suc- ceeding years. In an interesting interclass meet three points were taken by the Freshmen. Horace Pickles tied for second place in the pole vault, and William McGowan Won third in the mile.

I-Iow often she had been one of the gay throng below, waving her good-bye to the homeward bound ship! But now she turned impetuously to the tall figure beside her. O Uncle John, let me go back! I-I-can't bear to think this is good-bye. Nonsensel If that's the way you feel, it's high time you were start- ing out to see something of the world. Why, six months from nowiyou wouldn't come back, even if I'd let you-which I won't. No, my dear, from now on you're to forget that Hawaii ever claimed you for her own. Do you mean to say I'll never come back here P I do. It was your mother's wish that you should belong to me after her death, and you're old enough now to know that after her marriage everything connected with this heathenish place was detestable to me.

Father's a railroad magnate. I'll see that you meet her tonight. Lorine cast an absent look at the dainty, pink-cheeked maiden laugh- ing gaily with several friends-no-ted their brightly beribboned panama hats, gay sweaters and immaculate white shoes, and then turned to gaze sorrow- fully at the rapidly receding island until it was but a tiny green patch afloat in a sea of blue. as :r wk PF Dk 4: as Young lad-ies, quiet please.

Two minutes later all eyes were turned with mingled curiosity and friendliness on the stranger as she came hesitatingly in with her arm 42 -EL SUSURRO around her jolly friend of the steamer. She was interesting, they decided instantly, with her large, dark eyes and colorless cheeks. Aside from this was the fact that any one whom Helen Stafford chose to patronize must have some special charm. We're all so pleased to know you, Miss Mohalaf' smiled a l-ittle girl in a white middy suit, and for the next few moments the new-comer was surrounded. She's a dear, whispered the Senior president to her chum when classes were finally under way. Let's propose her for the Alpha Beta. Wonder if she's ever heard of basketball? I'm going up to see her tonight and find out, murmured Bobby Benton of the middy suit. Shes a quiet little thing, remarked the pretty English teacher, but no wonder. It's no easy thing to enter thishouse of gossiping, inquisitive girls. adorable though we know them to be. I'm anxious to find out how English will appeal to her. That these suppositions were rewarded, was soon seen. Were it basketball, classes, music or parties, Lorine entered into them with a zest. All through her Freshman and Sophomore years her popularity steadily increased. She made friends on all sides. And yet, Helen remarked one evening to Bobby as they sat curled up on the couch in Lorine's room awaiting her arrival, much as I think of that girl, I can't understand her. She seems perfectly happy and contented, but there's something back of it all, a certain sadness and reserve .that I can't pass. She simply won't tell me. . Maybe it's a man, suggested her friend, making a grab for a pan of fudge reposing on the window seat. Doesn't she make the most won- derful candy? No,' objected Helen slowly, it isn't a man. At first I thought that maybe that was it, but not now. Lorine's too sensible. And as to that fudge, you're the coolest proposition I know, Miss Benton. Perhaps you weren't aware of the fact that that was made in honor of the D. W. E.'s, who meet here tonight. Too sensible, scoffed her friend, ignoring the latter part of the remarks. Evidently you're not. Seems to me I saw a box of 'Saunder's Log Cabin, on your table. Hello, darling! she interrupted herself. Come in and put on your kimono and enjoy some of this candy made by your own fair fingers. Pk Hs wk HY FF HK ik It was in Lorine's junior year that Mr. Hammond died. He left his entire fortune to you, Miss Mohalaf' the gray-haired old lawyer told her, but it was his wish that not one cent of it was to take you to your old home.

To some of you I know this will mean a great deal, so do your best and--good luck. Outside, an animated discussion followed. Who's going to try P No use for me to try it, acknowledged Bobby, sorrowfully. I never was a success in anything but basketball. Oh, if I only could! murmured the pl-ainest dressed girl in the group. And so opinions flew. Only one stole silently away from the gay throng and up in her room sat with her chin propped on her hand, her eyes gazing unseeingly out of the windows and far over the grassy lawns. if wk wk at wk xc wk The last few months of the year flew rapidly by. Nothing much was said about the stories. Many gave up the idea at once, some cheerfully acknowledging that they'd have their hands full enough if they made all their credits, and others excusing themselves with the remark that Mother thought they'd better be thinking more about the graduation wardrobe. About twenty-five girls, however, worked unceasingly for the coveted prize. It was to be awarded on commencement night. And finally the night of all nights rolled around. and fifty dainty. white-clad girls tripped across the platform of the crowded hall to receive their beribboned rewards. The evening passed rapidly by, until all that remained was the awarding of the short-story prize. I do hope Margaret gets it, murmured Bobby in a nervous undertone to a classmate. Me, too. Say, Bobby, I heard that Lorine was trying for it. but I don't believe it, do you? I don't want to believe it, to be quite frank. Some way it doesn't seem fair, with all she has - I know-bark! Miss Hancock's few explanatory words came to an end amidst a breathless stillness. And so we have decided that the best story handed in to us was that of Lorine Mohalaf' For a moment not a sound was heard, then loud applause. But were all the smiles turned towards the entrance of the stage a trifle forced? VVitl1 eyes shining, cheeks flushed with excitement, Lorine in all her misty white draperies received her reward, and then, regardless of the sea of faces below, turned to the principal and her friends: You don't know what this means to me-more than anything in the world.

I turned to the man next to me ' and said: I see where I have quite a wait. Yes, herreplied, but only about ten minutes more than I have. However, I am an old railroad man myself, and don't mind the waiting business. Is that so? I remarked. Guess you know quite a lot of interest- ing experiences. Oh, yes, some, he said. Do you remember about a fellow named jim Houston, who went around wrecking the trains of the com- pany he was operator for? VVell, I should say, yes, of course I remember himg the news- papers were full of accounts of him and his wire tapping, I answered. My friend smiled, and then began to think. From his expression I knew that he was gathering some facts for a story he wanted to tell, and thus, as time hung heavy, I was glad to hear anything about which I could be interested. I had read quite a lot about this Jim Houston, the old railroad operator who wrecked the trains of the company he worked for, and lost the St. Paul 81 Northern thousands of dollars each year until he was discovered but never captured. My friend made himself comfortable, and I also took a seat so as to listen attentively. He began: It was in March, 189- that I began work at Billings, Nebraska, and it was during the winter of that same year that my story took place. i'Billings was at that time the most important railroad junction in the Northwest, because three roads, the St. Paul 81 Northern, the Chicago 8z Lake Shore, and the VVestern Sz, Canadian, passed through her yards. VVhen I began there I started work in the central freight tower, which was situated on a knoll in the middle of the freight yard. The 47 ' EL SUSURRO work kept us busy all day, as it was a continual switching of cars that were making up the different trains which were to leave during the night. I did not like this, and put in an application for some small office. To 'my great surprise and delight they offered me a night trick at the despatcher's office just the other side of the yard. Of course, I need not tell you, that I immediately accepted. and if I remember right, it was in August, 189- that I started in my new position. All went well for about a month, when occurred one of the first serious wrecks in the history of the yard. It happened in one of the most desolated spots on the run out of Billings to Williams Cutoff. The place was a sort of a gulch or ravine, through which the tracks ran lengthwise. It was feared by train crews, both because highwaymen could easily hide there and also because an obstruction could be placed on the tracks and not be seen by the engineer in time to avoid an accident. This was especially true, as the gulch made two turns, one about the center, and another at the end. There had already been two acci- dents to the credit of the ravine, but these were of minor importance, the blame of which could not be placed on anyone. This first serious accident fell to the lot of one of the St. Paul 81 Northern's extra freights. However, had it not been that the B. 81 O. Lodge Special was tied up at our yard on account of a hot box, she would have pulled out on time, and it would have been her lot to be wrecked, in which case, there would have been twice the loss of life. As it was, there were three killed and two injured, the fiagman, who was riding in the caboose, being the only one to escape injury. The ohicers of the St. Paul 8 Northern company started to investigate immediately, as it was a plain case that some one wanted to get the B. 81 0. special. The strange part of it was that no one, except the despatchers and operators, knew that the special was to leave Kansas City before the first of the following week. It was thus supposed that there was a leak somewhere. Even the cause of the accident would not be found, as there was nothing on the tracks that would indicate the cause of the derailment. The only thing that could be found was a loose rail, and it could not be ascertained whether that was the cause, or whether the train had loosened it after the wreck. The engineer was killed, and the fireman was found unconscious, and did not come to even when the doctors arrived. All hope for his recovery was given up, so the men working on the case did not have very much to work on in the way of information. After three weeks the case was given up, and the company had to be satisfied with the fact that the St. Paul people had a very clever train Wrecker working against them. A month passed uneventfully. In Septem- 48 EL SUSURRO ber it began to rain, and, as it always happens when the winter sets in, the wires began to go back on us. We had about sixty of them in the despatch- er's room, and of these, number 226 was the most important, because on it were the more important offices of the main line. The first of all these offices was the one at Williams Cutoff, with which we had to make all train connections. No, 226 had been weak since the time of the freight wreck. The trouble could not be discovered, but the chief was of the opinion that there was some had 'cut in' at one of the offices, and had been investigating, but to no avail. The wire too, was much weaker now that the bad weather had come, and something had to be done, so Porter, who was then night chief, set out himself to find the trouble. On the same night that Porter started his personal investigations my trouble started. I went to work about seven, which was an hour earlier than I was due, and, when I relieved Harry Garson, he told me that he had not yet received the 'compose' or make up of the different freights -that were to leave that evening. I told him that I might as well take them, and then called Williams Cutoff, whose signal was 'WC.' The answer came but very faintly, and I asked him for the 'compose,' and also what was the matter with the wire. 'WC' did not know, but proceeded to send as well as the conditions would permit. We had finished one train when the wire began to get stronger, and in five minutes it was so full of life that I called to the assis- tant chief for less 'juicef I began to wonder what Porter had found out, but of course, could not know, so, after finishing my work, went to reading a magazine. I did not have much chance to read, as there was 'WC' again calling as loud and as clear as ever. I answered, and he gave me a 'rush,' which as well as I remember, ran something like this: 'C. O. Billings, 'Presidents special leaves ahead of schedule. Due there two A. M. Don't post this. XVant to keep it quiet. taking no chances. fSignedJ Smith, Con- ductorf I wondered why this was being kept such a secret, and came to the conclusion that they wanted to beat the wreckers, if they could, and not give them a chance at the train. VVell, anyway, they were doing the best they could, and not taking chances of any kind. I delivered the message to the office, and went back to my read- ing. By midnight the last train left the yards, and I went upstairs to my sleeping quarters. The next morning, when I came down, the air was fairly charged with a tense feeling of excitement. The cause of it all was easy to understand. The president's special had not only 49 EL SUSURRO been derailed, but had also been held up! I did not have much oppor- tunity to give my opinion before I was called to the oiiice, and ques- tioned as to the secrecy I had kept about that message. I proved, as well as possible, that I had not said anything, and, after that, set out to find what had been discovered. Later, Bill Porter came back and told me that, when he went to the scene of the wreck, he looked everything over, and not finding any- thing, he began to inspect the wires, and had not gone more than a thousand feet when he saw something that interested him. I-Ie climbed a pole, and, right next to the cross arm, he found where the wires of 226 had been scraped and two other pieces spliced on. These evident-ly went as far as the ground, where a set of instruments had been at- tached. Some one had tapped the wire for the information which they obtained for the first wreck. This was proved by the fact that the wires were rusted, and it also gave the cause of the dimness of the wire since then. p Porter also told me that they were on a track, but that no one had any idea exactly whom to suspect. This surprised me, and I began to wonder if they really had the right clue. From my oliice, Porter went over to see the yard superintendent, .and put some men to watch the gulchg he also sent word for me not to say anything about it over the wires, which I was very careful not to do. V The next day I heard nothing about the case, but knew that Porter was making a great mistake in telling anyone what he was doing. Later he came up to me and said, 'Well, we're sure of the fel- low now, and think we will tackle him in the morning, stay around and see the fun.' That night I had to leave Billings on a rush trip. so I hardly think they got their man, but they are trying hard enough, and have got two or three big rewards out for him. I could get the money easy, as I know the main actor in the case. Toot! Toot! It was the Southbound No. 22 just leaving, and my friend started to go after it. I Say, who was that Wrecker, anyway ? I asked. And where is he now, do you know P Oh, he is just going to catch No. 22, he answered. By the way. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is -I. W. Houston. one-time operator for the St. Paul 8: Northerng what's yours? By the time I had recovered from the shock, No. 22 must have been leaving Gilroy, and I began to wonder what I could have done with that 355,000.00 reward, if I had only known. -B. INA-TSON. '15, 50 EL SUSURRO March Q ' MARCH. VVhen March comes in like a lion, They say it goes out like a lamb, And the merry house-cleaning of springtime, Begins with the rough March wind. For under the ground are the spring buds, Vifaiting for March's Windy broom, Thatqsweeps all the hills and the valleys, And moans and groans in the gloom. Then the March wind. so tired and weary, Goes gently to sleep again, And God's wonderful garden of flowers, Comes dancing gaily in. All in the colors of springtime, That the March wind had helped to dress, Making the world one grand garden, For the winds of the spring to caress. -MARGARET VVRIGHT.

The school year of 1914-1915 has been a remarkable one in many ways to the Monterey High School students, and not only to the students, but to the outsider. It is probable that there will be many years before there is another of equal importance, for as San Francisco is giving the world a great educational fair, so the citizens of Monterey County have given, for the growth of coming generations, a new High School building. It is a building of which we are proud. There it stands against a background of pines. overlooking the wide expanse of the beautiful Mon- terey Bay. It stands not only as a thing of beauty, but as a representa- tive of that which is greatest of all things in American life-free educa- tion to all who desire it, rich, poor, black or white. It is our sincere wish that it inspire those who pass through its portals with the highest ideals of democratic life, and that it may also serve as a democratic social center to the whole community. 53 EL SUSURRO M. C. H. S. RECEIVES GIFTS. The Chamber of Commerce of Monterey has presented the new High School with a handsome United States flag, in order that she may always understand whose child she is. We are indeed grateful for this reminder of the parentage. In the rush of these days we are prone to forget all else save the little locality in which We find ourselves, and thus we need our country's flag Boating over us to remind us that we are each and every one of us citizens of these great United States. She wants us every one to come at her call, not to die for her, but to take just a little trouble for her, to make this land a better and brighter spot in which to live. STUDENT CONTROL A SUCCESS. . He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that ruleth a city -so says the good book. M. C. H. S. has installed, after a few months of trial to ascertain the advisability of having it established as a permanent part of the school system-Student Control. Although it is only one little step toward Student Government, we feel that it has helped the student to realize his responsibility. We hope that every one will do his part-on the Committee and in the Student Body-in paving the way for this much-desired form of Student Government-which, we hope, will become firmly established within the next year or so. REWARDS OFFERED FOR GOOD WORK. Clinton La Montaigne oifered a very handsome loving cup to the writer of the best essay on What Immigrants Make the Best Citizens, and VVhy? The competition for the cup was not as large as expected, but several theses were handed in to the committee. The prize was awarded to Miss Helen Thompson. . Two other prizes were also offered this year, a pin for the best story was given by the Junior classg a pin for the best poem was presented by the Student Body. Prizes were awarded as follows: Story--Alice Hilby. Poem-Grace Klaumann. HAVE WE HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT? NVhat is High School spirit? p It is a feeling of loyalty to a school that is so great that each and every member of the Student Body is not only willing, but anxious. to do his or her part for the advancement of that institution--it is school patriotism. ' 54 EL SUSURRO High School spirit is not that lazy, indifferent attitude on the part of the individual who insists upon being merely a spectator at all student activities. It is not the feeling that causesone to go to base- ball, basketball, football or track meet events only ii he has nothing better to do. It is not the selfish idea of letting some body else do all the work of getting out a paper, of participating in a debate, getting up a play or rally or making up a team. High School spirit is a vital force. It is a thing that fills the bleachers with all those physically or otherwise unable to be upon the field. But even these, realizing their defects, as active actors, do their best by their presence and their cheers to gain prestige for their school. It is the spirit that makes boys and girls practice long and hard in order to be on the High School team or to burn midnight oil in order to participate in some debating contest. High School spirit of the right sort is intense in its desire to have the school make good. It is absolutely unselfish except for the honors it wishes to win for its own special- school. This spirit is the moving and controlling power of the best schools. Have we got it? If not, why haven't we? If We haven't it, how shall we get it? Think on these things this summer and return at the fall term with the determination to make M. C. H. S. the best-spirited High School in the State of California. WE THANK YOU ALL. VVe are glad to be able to present to our fellow students and the citizens of Monterey a high school journal of which we are proud. and which we feel to be readable from cover to cover. But it is not to the Student Body and. editorial staff alone that the honor is due, for we could never have produced such a paper unaided. VVe wish especially to thank Miss Parke for the frontispiece which she has so generously given to El Susurrof' VVe wish to thank the merchants of Monterey County for the splendid advertising patronage they have accorded. To our printer and our photographer, to our literary contributors and our Freshman artists, do we extend our heartiest thanks: and most of all to Miss Thurston and Miss Eckhardt for their untiring efforts in making the High School journal a success. Last, but not least, we wish to thank every purchaser of the journal for his part in helping to get out one good paper a year. 55 ' Yfff 7 EL susunno School Notes Q August 4th was a pleasant day indeed, but we were not pleased by any 1neans. VVhy? Well, because We had to go back to that old, isolated tower. We had to get along as best we might and we worked splendidly CPD amid such surroundings. Tuesday, October 20, 1914, Mr. Senderman, of the Del Monte Pack- ing Co., invited the entire High School to go down and visit the can- nery. He gave us each a can of sardines to eat all by ourselves. The fishes were excellent and many had beach parties with them as the piece de resistance. just before the Christmas vacation, Mr. Schultzberg invited the High School to attend the Grammar School's little playlet, Santa Claus on a Strike, which was very amusing. After the performance, Wilton Gunzendorfer, representing the Class of '18, presented to Mr. Schultzberg a silver loving cup as a token of their appreciation. Saturday, December 20th, at one o'clock, the High School Domestic Science girls served a four-course luncheon to the County Board of Education. The dining room was daintily decorated. On February 5, 1915, Mr. McIntosh called upon Mr. Osgood, a visitor, to give a little talk on his travels in Alaska. The talk was brief, but nevertheless appreciated by the students. February 12th, we formally opened the new High School building. Mr. Martin opened the program with a few remarks, turning the build- ing over to us. A musical program by niembers of the school was greatly enjoyed by our visitors, some of whom were quite distinguished. Remarks were made by Professor Bentley, of Stanford, Professor Rugh, of the University of California: Mr. B. F. Wright, Mr. B. M. Cai-ner, Mr. Schultzberg, Mr. Kilkenny, Mr. Brownell and Mr. Angelo Oliver. The response for the school was given by Mr. Elbert Hitchcock. After the program was finished, the pupils, as hosts, showed the visitors our new building and the Domestic Science girls served punch. On February '23d, Earle Pugh gave the Student Body an interesting talk on the United States marine service. Thursday, March 11th, Maude Scudder, editor of El Susurro, gave a luncheon to the static. The eats were good. The Domestic Science class gave itself a St. Patrick breakfastg the color scheme of course was green. 56 EL SUSURRO Friday noon, March 12th, the Seniors gave a picnic to themselves in the woods back of the school, and it is said they ate even the knives. March 20th, the Sophomores gave a picnic at Moss Beach. Each member invited a student from another class. Mrs. Carton and Mrs. Otis acted as chaperons. ' Friday evening, March 26th, the juniors gave the Seniors a motor truck ride. They did the Drive by moonlight and later had a feed on the beach. Mr. and Mrs. Ogglesby chaperoned. April 12th, the Freshmen had a soda water picnic. The grounds back of the school made an ideal spot for picnicking. Friday, April 16th, the three upper classes gave a dancing party to the Freshmen. Many of the upper classmen taught some of the 'Freshies' how to dance. Refreshments were served and every one had an enjoyable time. On Thursday evening, April 29th. Mr. Kelly, of Pacific Grove, gave an interesting lecture on L'South of Panama. Music was furnished by the High School Boys' Glee Club and High School Chorus. f Xixifi I 5 Y Y, ,L ib Si, Q'-S4 f S?fl1? 5mlih'l. Ulqllli V- 'rg ,GJ 1L.

Girls' Basket Ball Team unlimited, 120 lb., and girls' team, which did not organize until filter the holidays. Too much credit cannot be given to the boys and girls who came out, and what success they attained has been reached by their own initiative and elforts. 62 EL SUSURRO GIRLS' BASKETBALL. Monterey possessed a girls' team this year for the first time in three years. In the first game of the season we showed the lack of physical training, holding down until the last few minutes of play, when the experience and training of Pacific Grove told in their favor. A few weeks of good training put them in good condition and the next game showed the results. At Monterey, February 26th. Monterey, 9. Pacific Grove H. S., 24. At Watsonville, March 12th.

Our unlimited team this season was light, averaging only 145 pounds, but they had speed and teamwork. The slushy condition of Unlimited Basket Ball Team our court prevented practice as much as desired. so that we were not always in the best of form, but we always put up an hard, fast game.
