We love to read it because it tells of our hopes, ambitions and accom- I)lish ments. The first part oi our little book is devoted to the narration of our experiences, as fresh- men, — bewildered, amazed, little freshmen trying to get used to a new routine and to an enormous building thronged with stu- dents. As the days passed by we found that it was exciting to be freshmen. l)ut it was better to be sophomores. In our sophomore year several of the boys turned out for athletics, and a few of them earned their letters. A desire for social life obsessed us, and so we had a ]3arty at the W oodward tiieater. This event brought to a close a most eventful year. The Junior year found us witli our ranks reinforced I)y a group of returned soldiers and sailors who had come back from the world war to finish their studies at North Central. Although we considered ourselves very sober and dignified, we had a Kid ' party to which we invited the Junior A ' s. The feature of the event was Brick John- son, who was immaculately attired in gym- nasium trousers, a white sailor ' s middy, white shoes, and half socks. In the fall oi that year vc learned to bear defeat in a sportsmanlike manner when Lewis and Clark won the annual football game. However, during the winter and spring we won bas- ket ball and baseball. Just before school closed for the summer we went on a hike to Downriver park. The fall of 1920 found us back at North Central ready to do our very best in our last year. The year was begun successfully, and on Thanksgiving Day our footbajl team brought victory home to the north side. In accordance with a long-established custom, we invited the Senior A ' s to a theater partv at the Woodward. When the last semester rolled around, we elected Glen Johnson president. It was a busy semester. Many of our class- mates received honor emblems by winning places on the Scholastic Honor Roll. Margaret Bement made the highest aver- age ever attained in North Central. The class play, Merely Mary Ann, was an un- qualified success, and the cast displayed un- usual dramatic ability. On kid day we forgot our newly acquired dignity and paraded through the halls in the garbs of our childhood. Not long after we were in- vited to a picnic at ledical Lake, by the Senior B ' s. Class Day found us in a turmoil of excite- ment mingled with regret at the thouglu that it was (jur last in North Central. The supreme moment arrived and, as in a dream, we received oui diplomas and were ready to go forth into the outside world. Thus ends our litlc book, and though you may never care to open its pages again, we shall open it always with the .same loving pride as we do on this day in June, 1921. EDWARD MURPHY, Chairman. MARY FOSLEY. MAY NEWTON. 24 ENAVANT CLASS lUON ' T The class of June, ' 21, being of a selfish and egotistical nature, and realizing that never before in the history of North Central has a class done so much for the school, desires to keep its many virtues, willing away only those possessions which are ot no value. We, therefore, dispose of our belongings accordingly. We keep the gift of gab peculiar to the infamous Smiths, in order that it may serve in persuading St. Peter to take them in. To entertain us in our heavenly home, we take Lenna Baird. She won the prize in grade school for singing the loudest. ( Twas a leather medal, but ' twas nice.) Maggie Miller will feel at home in heaven, for she ' s always harping about something. Bury me with my head out, so you can use it for a tombstone, says Harleth Steinke. If this were a class will, we ' d leave Dick and Lucille ' s matrimonial bliss to Dwight and Louise, but we won ' t. Rosy Johnson leaves North Central (almost as good as he found it). The class won ' t writer, doubtful of his reaching the pearly gates with the rest of the class, intends to take a fan and some ice with him. We leave a vote of thanks to Doctor Ben- efiel and the athletic board.. We sure ap preciate getting our letters. We leave our appreciation to Walt Horn for helping Margaret with her studies. (P.S. She even got A in astronomy.) We take our wonderful goocl humor, as evidenced by Bob Woods when he said, Most of the fellows intend to be broke when they graduate, but I ' m going to be a little broker. Ah, we ' ll be different in this won ' t. In- stead of willing our seats in convocation to the senior B ' s. we leave them to the fresh- men. (They ' ll sit there anyway.) .Another jiroNerbial gift to leave is a new joke book to Mr. Collins, but in order not to trouble future class will writers, we desire to lake all his joke books with us, instead. We take with us, Hod Pollock and his ambition to return to his native home in Sweden. Swede Swanson was seen walking down the street singing, Ireland must be heaven, for my mother came from there. ' He ' ll be happy in his new home for he will see St. Patrick. W ' c leave out of this will — all the teach- ers and students who want free publicity. (They wouldn ' t pay us enough.) l OR SALE — One palm beach suit; it won ' t be hot where I ' m going. See Jerome . ndrus. (Paid adv.) We can hardly say anything about Ron without getting personal, or at least getting Witt-y. Omigosh ! Whomelse have we got a grudge against? We wonder what Jean W ' illiams would do if we took Ed with us? Helen Howard hopes that all angels ain ' t females. Neal Smith challenges any one to break his record of seven years flat at North Cen- tral. (Doubtful contestants are Ernie Henry. Harold Berven, and Aston-Burke Co.) Yes, Neal started in September, 1914. Finally realizing that Hanley, Morrow, Gullette, and Whitfield already have the other destiny ahead of them, we ' re unable to take them with us, but we hope that their future comj)any is enjoyable. And so, for better or for worse, and feel- ing sorry for the school, we depart. THE CLASS. OF JUNE, ' 21, CLASS WILL COMMITTEE. Neal Smith, Chairman, Lura Hall, Jo} ' Williams.

JONES (Mathematics) V. W. Jones is a mathematician by trade, but a farmer by inclination. He was grad- nated from Purdue university in the course of electrical engineering in 1896. He re- ceived his bachelor of arts degree in 1903 at Stanford, where he majored in mathe- matics. In 1905 he came to Spokane and taught at Lewis and Clark for four years. He was transferred to North Central in 1909 and has taught here for twelve years. .Mr. Jones lives on his farm in Pleasant Prairie, where he is a very successful farm- er. His hobby is potatoes, so he says, and it is said that his farm products are a credit to a mathematical farmer. R. S. SANBORN (Science) R. S. Sanborn has taught in the high schools of Spokane for sixteen years. He was graduated from the Iowa State college. Before coming to Spokane, he taught in Salt Lake City. There are something over a ihmisand enrollments in the science department this year, says Mr. Sanborn. The department has (jutgrown its present quarters. We are sadly in need of rooms. Iiroperly equipjied for science work. Dur- ing this year, we have had to establish an- other botany laboratory. This year ' s quar- ters have been temporary, and it is hoj)ed that next year a room will be permanently allotted to care for the increased enrollment in botany and zoology. There should also be at least two new general science rooms to handle the work for the new semester. VV. J. SANDERS (English) W. J. Sanders has been at North Central six years. He was graduated Trom Leba- non Valley college with a degree of B. A., and from Columbia university with an A. degree. The English department is .North Central ' s largest dejiartment. Altogcthet. eighteen teachers ' are working under Mr. Sanders. Next to his teaching, Mr. Sanders ' greatest interest is the organization of the course of study in EngH.sh. Upon this he has worked for throe years. In order to furnish an outlet ftjr the lit- erary talent of the school, Mr. Sanders says that he would like to see the old Tamarack revived, or some other magazine of a similar character established, in addition to the North Central News. This magazine would ue devoted to literary material of the school, and would be put out by a class of students interested in literary work. MISS NELLE WILSON (Vocational) Miss Nelle Wilson has the distinction of being head of one of the most interesting and active departments in North Central. She was graduated from the University of Indiana, and has taken post-graduate work at Columbia. During her three years at North Central Miss Wilson has made the work of her de- partment extremely lively and interesting. The purpose of her department is to place students where they may obtain work while attending school, to offer vocational gui- dance, to help the students select their courses of study, and to advise the students concerning college work and college require- ments. An important feature of the vocational department is the intelligence tests, of which Miss Wilson has charge. Self-analy- sis, promoted through questionnaires, is also becoming prominent in the vocational de- partment. MISS .MARGARET FEHR (Language) .Miss Margaret Fehr, who heads North Central ' s language department, is a gradu- ate of the University of Wisconsin. Her hobbies, she says, are Howers and the wild- woods; but her greatest interest is in Eu- rope. Miss Fehr plans to sail July 2 for Europe, where she will travel through Spain, France, and Italy. Miss Fehr will make purchases for the school while abroad. E. II. FEARON (Commercial) E. H. Fearon, head of the Commercial department at North Central, is a graduate of the Zanerian . ' rt college, the Kentucky state normal, and the Ohio Business insti- tute. For eight years .Mr. Fearon was em- ployed as an accountant in one of the largest lumber firms of New England. Mr. Fearon worked with Frank Broker, C. P. A. No. 1, New York, before coming to North Central. 30 EN AVANT T. O. RAMSEY (History) T. O. Ramsey, who heads North Central ' s history department, was graduated from the University of Missouri. He has taught in North Central since January, 1912. In addition to teaching, said Mr. Ram- sey, my only hobby is horticulture. C. OLIN RICE (Music) C. Olin Rice has been a member of the North Central faculty and the head of its music department since I ' ebruary, 190 ' . Every year an operetta is given under his direction by members of the opera class. Mr. Rice is a graduate of the music depart- ment of Baker university, Kansas. I have a great desire, Mr. Rice said, to interest a large number of boys in music. Too many boys have a mistaken idea that music is for the girls alone. They would much rather hear some one else play or sing than do it themselves. We need a greater variety of instrumental players, esi)cciallly a good clarinet player. Mr. Pice says that his only ambition is to get as far away as possible from music or anything pertaining to music during the summer months. MISS CARRIE HITCHCOCK (Household Arts) Miss Carrie Hitchcock has been teaching at North Central since 1911. I ' efore coming to Spokane, she was supervisor of domestic science in the high schools and grade schools of Ithaca, New York, and was also dietitian and head of the home economics department at Wolfe Hall, a girls ' school in Denver. She was graduated from the Mechanics Institute at Rochester, New York, in the home economics course. MISS JESSIE CIBSON (Girls ' League) Three years ago, llie (jirls ' League was organized by a North Central teacher. Miss Jessie Gibson. Since she founded the League she has given freely of her time and efforts for its welfare, it is difficult to write anything about Miss (iib.son without men- tioning the League. High schools all over the United States, and particularly in the west, have expressed their interest in the Girls ' League, and many schools have founded similar f)rganizations. Miss Gibson was graduated from the Cni- versity of Idaho antl lias taken post-gradu- ate work at the University of California, Columbia university, and Washington State college. S. L. MOYER (Boys ' Athletics) S. L. Moyer, who heads the boys ' athletic department at North Central, is a graduate of l- ' ranklin and Marshall college. Mr. Moyer has been teaching at Xortli Central for ten years. Ne.xt to teaching. .Mr. .Mover says he would rather play golf and fish than do anything else. The important thing in high school ath- letics, says Mr. Moyer, is to get every boy in school interested in some kind of athletics. Athletics should not be limited to the good athletes. The greatest need at North Central is a suitable athletic field near here. MISS ELSA PINKIIAM (Girls ' Athletics) Miss Elsa Pinkham, head of the girls ' athletic department at North Central, was graduated from Sargent. Miss Pinkham has taken post-graduate work at C )luml)ia. Dur- ing her three years as head of the athletic department she has done much to interest the girls in athletics. She is a firm be- liever in inter-class and inter-school contests. Miss Pinkham has coached all the dancing for North Central operettas. .She also plans much of the dancing for difYerent high school entertainments. That Miss Pinkham is a good sport is the unanimous opinion of both the boys and girls f)f North Central. Her favorite hobby is playing the iolin, and, according to the girls of the school, her onl} ' fault is compel- ling the girls wlio talk excessively and those who chew gum. to remain after school aiul listen to her practice her scales. LOWELL C. BRADFORD (Hoys ' Federation) L. C. Bradford, who heads the Hoys ' l ' ed- eration at North Central, was graduated from Reed college in 1913. He has done special work in debating and student gov- ernment. He came to North Central in Xoveniber. V) ( . .Mr. liradford has had charge of debate at North Central since that time. He has coached eleven debates. Of these debates. North Central has won two out of three with Lewis and Clark and five out of seven with Walla Walla. lie has coached IwcK e f tlie senior class orators. In the fall of l ' M8 he organized the Boys ' l ederation. Since then, he has directetl its activities and the work of twenty commit- tees under the tliree main dei)artments. He is faculty director of the Rooters ' and Delta clubs. Mr. Bradford ' s greatest hobby is music. He plays in the school orchestra, and teach- es music outside of school hours. 32 EN AVANT Published semi-annually by members of the North Central News Staff in honor of the graduating classes.

A. II. BENEFIEL, PRIXCII ' AL In the fall of 1918, Dr. A. il. Benefiel stepped from the vice-principal ' s desk in the main office into the private office and posi- tion of principal of North Central. Since that time he has done much to make North Central a democratic and progressive school. Many students little realize the amount of work and responsibility with ■ which lie is confronted as head of such a large and ever advancing institution. By the principles he has advanced and the plans he has fostered to make Xorth Central a bigger and better school, it is quite evident that he believes in, and prac- tices, the progressive spirit and the |)redom- inant action expressed in the school motto, En Avant. THE CLASS ADN ISERS Each graduating class has an official class director and the girls of eacii graduating cla.ss choose a faculty adviser. The assis- tance given by these faculty members is of great value to the classes in their undertak- ings and tends to keep them headed in the right direction. The work of T. O. Ramsey, class direc- tor, and of Aliss Agnes McHugh, girls ' ad- viser, has been no exception to the rule — imless it might have been above the average. The class appreciates the cooperation of these counselors in the tasks it has had to perform, for truly the advisers have contrib- uted greatly to the success of the class. BROADEN OUT A person never knows what he can do until he attem])ts different things to find out what his talents are, and the sooner he begins to do things, the sooner will he find out what he can do. The -place to get a start is in high school. High school affords the student opportunities in its many lines of study and also in its various activities aside from studies. A student, upon entering high school, should get interested in some enterprise other than the regular course of study and should follow it up. From this he may branch to another, and still another, and so on until at the end of his high school course he has so developed and so broadened him- self that he may step out in the world pre- pared to lake up new and heavier tasks, and to carry successfully more and greater re- sponsibilities. THE -MOTHERS ' AND DADS ' CLUBS The work of the North Central Mothers and Dads ' clubs is indeed highly commend- able. Early last fall the Mothers ' club took up the huge task of raising a band fund with which to buy instruments for the EN AVANT 33 scliool band. A total of $450 was raised through popular subscriptions by north side people. Recently the club has been cooperating with the faculty in attaining higher scholarship among the students. The Dads ' club assisted the .Mothers by donating a large sum to the band fund. It will be remembered also for donating the service of its cars to take the football team to Pullman last fall, and it has assisted in like manner on other occasions. The students of North Central like to see the mothers and dads take an interest in what the school is doing and join in a. many of its activities as they can. This l)romotes better feeling among the teach- ers, the students, and the ])arents. .Vorth Central greatly ajipreciates the service rend ered it by these clubs. DEVELOPMENT IN .ACTl ITI IiS Activities other than studies are the life of any high school. . high school without any athletics, without a paper or a maga- zine of some kind, without plays and en- tertainments, without debates and literary contests, would not be considered a real high school. Many people think that these activities take the students ' time and interest from their studies. This is true to some ex- tent, but the students are well paid for the lime they spend on the various activities. They are de ' eloping themselves along lines other than book knowledge, so that when they are graduated and sent out into life they are better fitted to handle them- selves properly and to meet w-ith steadier hands and hearts the problems with which, they are bound to meet in civil life. If the students did not have this training and de- clopmcnt in high school, they would be handica])ped. for mighty oaks from little acorns grow. ' If the students do not l)lant their acorns while in high school, it will take that much longer for the migh- ty oaks to grow and to develop. i:X AVANT With the training . orth Central is ecpii))- ped to give us if we are only willing to give ourselves to it and have the right stufT in us, we are fitted to live up to its motto, and to go forward always as we have gone within its walls. It has trained us to fight if neces- sary, or to employ (lii)lomacy if more dis- creet, but in all cases, to press on and up. Let us not, however, become hasty, slight- ing our path behind, for time is the test of all things and the rcvealer of secrets, and a spot skipped over unjustly will show more the farther we leave it behind us. Past achievements should be such that we may forget them without fear; they may serve as an example to those following after. .May the graduate of June, ' 21, and all future graduates of North Central uphold and respect our motto and watchword, En .Avant, and as each goes out into his un- known bear in mind this quotation: Heaven is not gained at a single bound. Hut we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, . nd we mount to its summit round by round. .MISS EDITH J. P.ROOMIIALL On Tuesday, March I, in .Minneapolis, .Minnesota, occurred the death of Miss lulith J. Broomhall. Miss Broomhall will be remembered at North Central as an in . tructor in Si)anish and as the author of the librettos of the operettas, Gaucho Land and Khufu ' s Daughter. She was the au- thor of several .Spanish compositions, and of a book, .Spoken Spanish, which is used as a text in many high schools. She was the founder of the Spanish club and helped to found the Mastpie societ} ' , of which she was the director for several years. In l ' )18 Miss r)roomhall went to Minne- apolis, where she taught .Spanish at Central high school until a few months before her death. With the passing of Miss I ' iroomhall, North Central lost one of its best and sin ccrest friends, for she was ever an active booster and promoter of the enter[)rises of North Central. 34 EN AVANT A LEANER One day a man was sauntering along a country road. He had nowhere to go and nothing to do ; and what was worse, he had nothing especial on his mind. Presently he approached a wagon that was evidently stuck in a mud hole. A mule was hitched to the wagon and a farmer was at the mule ' s head pulling on the bridle in an endeavor to get the mule to change his mind and pull the wagon out of the mud. But the mule would not budge. The stranger was amused at the farmer ' s predicament, but instead of helping the un- fortunate man, he leaned against a nearby fence post and looked upon the scene with no personal interest. The poor fool, mused the stranger, ' he ought to know he won ' t get that mule started that way. He ought to get behind and push, or get a ' two-by-lour ' and try to boost the wheels out of the hole. But who was the greater fool, he who was leaning idly against a fence post and musing at another ' s misfortune, or the unfortunate one who was working to free himself from a difficult ])osition, but who had not yet found the right method? The stranger was not even supporting his own weight — he leaned against the fence post so that ho would not ha c to stand alone — and, what was worse, he did not attempt or show any inclination to help the man get his wagon free. And yet he called the other man a fool! In reality was not he. himself, a big- ger jackass than the lazy, balky mule that was hitched to the stranded wagon? It is far better to be pushing or pulling forward to get an object to its proper des- tination, even if the most eflfective method has not yet been discovered, than to be leaning backward against a stationary ob- ject and ridiculing a person who is working to attain his purpose. This is true even though the method may not be entirely suc- cessful. H one must lean against some- thing, he should not choose a fence post; but should put his shoulder to the wheel and lean FORWARD. SENIOR A FAREWELL It is most difficult to couch in fitting lan- guage the mingled emotions of the stu- (lents graduating from North Central high school. The world looks toseate, filled with golden opportunities, yet we feel a heart pang to realize that the hour has ar- rived when we as students must sever the many pleasant relationships with the fac- ulty and the students of North Central. Whatever fortune may await the members of the June class of 1921, the memories of the hapi)y years spent in North Central w ' ll always linger, a bright and beautiful exper- ience whicli will al)ide with us as long as we live. In saying farewell c realize that the future of our school will be assured and that the students who follow in our foot- steps will respond in the future as in the l)ast in support of scholastic activities. That past achievements will be surpassed is our confident hope and sincere desire. 36 EN AVANT L 0 ' V 1. Till ' : FALL OF RICHARD In spite of tlie surprisingly small number of his years — thirteen — Richard had been a ladies ' man for some time. His gallantry might even be said to have begun at the somewhat immature age of two, when, see- ing a diminutive female drop her etjually diminutive handkerchief, he had let go of his mother ' s finger and run to pick up and return the bit of lace and linen. Not a whit less gallant was he at the proverbial awk- ward age of the ax erage boy. Up through all the grades, he had had a girl, and strange to say, the fellers had never teased him about it — probably because the trait seemed so natural to him. He was an ex- perienced heart-breaker, for alas ! this lad was a fickle chap. Each grade had seen a different object of his affections: each new attraction meant some slighted miss. Be- cause of his handsome face and teasing eyes, his love had ever been requited — until now. It ' s a long lane that has no turning, and at the ripe age of thirteen, Richard learned this lesson. He had 1)ut recently nuived to Ilortons- ville, and he surveyed with undisguised satisfaction the ladies of the land, for they were fair. F,ach one had either looked and sighed, or peeped and affected indifference; and these were signs of love. Richard knew— ah, Richard knew. Did I say each — no, not each, no, not each : for there was one in all that motley crowd who knew f)f Richard and his ways. Just one, but one too many for the peace of Richard ' s mind. He saw her first at the May Day exercises. She was not Queen of the May, who sat in all her bland tow- headedness on the throne. She was the leader of the dancers — a tiny, black-haired, red-cheeked little thing who danced for pure joy. Her cousin had been one of Richard ' s earliest victims, but had speedily recovered from her woe ; and once, at a bed-time con- ference with Barbara, she had related at length the story of Richard. Barbara was prepared! Immediately following the danc- ing, Richard stepped up to a boy with whom he had become slightly acquainted, and asked for an introduction to the girl that danced in front. Richard committed him- self on no account — then. Having obtained the introduction, he began, That was cer- tainly a pretty dance you were in. Oh, did you like it? She gave him a bewitching smile. Yeah. Say, what grade ' r you in? I ' m in the seventh. Oh, are you ? too politely. Yeah. .She seemed to be looking for some one. lie had meant to invite her to an approaching jiarty, but somehow he felt an unaccountable bashfulness. He had never felt that way before. The girl had treated him all right, but he knew all the time that she was laughing at him. Sud- denly there loomed upon Richard ' s horizon a tall, lean, red-headed, good-looking fel- low. He gave Richard only a look but to l ' ar])ara he said with easy familiaritv : Well, let ' s go. She started away ith liim : then, as if courtesy were an after-thought, she turned to Richard and said : Good-bye. ( ' bye. Riciiard was (lunifoun ie(l. He could not ])eliove his senses. He saw her ne.xt day on tiie school grounds and sjjoke to her. She res])onded cordially and stojjped to talk. Say, do you remember Thclma C ' onlcy? Seems to me I ' ve heard her speak of you. She lives at Waverly. Aw. I s ' pose she ' s one of the girls that were in my room, said Richard deceitfully, for he remembered her perfectly. I didn ' t EN AVANT 37 like ' em. He thought he was doing well. Here was the chance to ask her to the party. Say, have you The brick-top again ! Darn! This time Barbara did not go away; in.stcad she and her tall friend, Mack, stayed and talked. In their conversation she men- tioned the first pdrty. my cousin, ' J ' helma Conley, that time d ' ye remember ? a and other interesting subjects. Richard was miserable, and yet he could not tear him- self away; he was glad when the bell rang. The next day Richard met her as she came from the building. Do you go this way? he asked, pointing down the street he had seen her take the preceding night. No, she replied, looking at him with a ])erfectly solemn, expressionless face, and gayly dancing eyes. Richard went sadly on alone. Soon he saw a grouj) of girls emerge from the school-house. Hab joined them and they went olT. the way he had pointed. He couldn ' t understand it. He might have been successful in other fields had he chosen to try them. The girl who sat in front of him was constantly at- tempting to be teased. When he finally ])ullcd her hair for lack of anything better to do, she was delighted, and immediately began to write notes. Richard responded very feebly indeed, in spite of the fact that she was pretty and altogether eligible. His heart was gone to Barbara. .Mas ! He tried writing notes, but she either tore them up or — curses ! — handed them over to that red-head Mack. Then Rich- ard took to following her home. One night she went two miles out of the way because she knew he was following. He reached home two hours late, and, on being severely interviewed by his i)areins, decided to give up that practice. One day at school he managed to corner her long en(jugh to ask her to the party. W hy, yes, I guess I ' ll go. Thanks. Rich- ard was exultant beyond measure. How could it have happened? At last his hojjes were to be realized ! That afternt)on his enthusiasm received a slight (lam])er in the shape of a conversa- tion which he overheard. He was just out- side the open hall door, and Bab was talking to a friend. Yes, mother said I ' d better go to that party even if Mack couldn ' t go. I le ' s going to ' a erly, you know. .So I ' m going with that Richard, and he ' s going to find out something! Richard had an uncom- fortable i)remonition. Nevertheless, he called for her on the night of the party feeling quite joyful and proud. When they started, however, he saw that she was intending to be appar- ently cordial toward him, while her eyes mocked him steadily. As they proceeded to the party, his spirits sank lower and lower. When he asked her how many dances he might have, she .said, noncha- lantly, Why, two, of course; the first and the last. Despair again ! Bab had her program filled almost immediately, but Rich- ard, much to the disgust of the girls, did not attempt to fill his. The music began and they started to dance. They did not get on very well, for some reason or other, Richard did not understand why. Suddenly it happened! Richard could not tell how. but it happened. Terhajis he slip])ed; it felt as if some one tripped him. He fell headlong to the floor. Seemingly, only by great effort did Barbara save her- self, and Richard tore her .sash badly when he fell. Needless to say, everyone crowded around to see and laugh at the poor unfor- tunate and liab laughed most of all. Mack must have dropped in unexpectedly, for he was there too. In an agony of humiliation, Richard pulled himself from the floor, feel- ing that he would much rather go through it. He looked around for Bab, but she was not there. Perhaps she had gone to fix her dress. But no! Here she came danc- ing with Mack. When she glanced at poor Richard, she laughed the most scornful laugh he had ever heard ; and danced on. She never spoke to him again. Richard had fallen at last. •MARG. RET BEMENT. THE SPIRITUALIST I heard the door close behind me, and I knew that I was in the room. How dark everything was! I could hardly .see where 1 was .going. Some one grasped me gently by the arm. and led me to a cushioned .seat. Then a soft voice si)oke, You wish me to reveal to you some of the secrets of the spirit world? The voice was gentle, but I was too much frightened to speak. li only that awful darkness would go away! I thought . s if in answer to my inward thought, a faint light issued from a lamj) which was hanging from the ceiling. By this light. 1 could faintly distinguish ithe contents of the room. The furniture was simple. There was a table in the center of the room, and one other chair besides the one I had stood near it. On the table was the mys- terious crystal globe, of which 1 had heard so much. There were two windows but they were both hung with heavy black velvet drapes which allowed no light to enter. My eyes wandered to the figure at my 38 EN AVANT side. 1 knew it was a woman because I could see her soft brown hair in spite of the dark turban she wore. Her robes were black and flowing. She wore no ornament but the silver pin which held the gown in place on her left shoulder. She watched mc narri)wl_ ' , while I made these observations. I felt sure that she was trying to read my character and. not wishing to give her any satisfaction. I leaned back in my chair affecting indifference. When she saw the action, she smiled as if amused. At this I felt very foolish. At last she spoke, but it was only to re- quest that I give her my hand in order that she might read what she might see in my palms. I comi)lied. ' Chen she began to tell me what I su])i)osed she saw there. If was not surprising to hear her tell me my name and age, for I had written that on the card I had filled out. She read my charac- ter next. I was astounded to hear her tell me my faults and my good i)oints, my likes and dislikes. .She was very accurate. I began to have faith in her at this time. .After reading my character she led me to the other chair, she herself taking the one T had vacated. After telling me that she. would go into a trance, she closed lier eyes and remained motionless. The room was perfectly still for a moment, and then she began to speak in a very sepulchral voice. I see two spirits coming towards me. You have a friend in the spirit world who wishes to speak to you through me. .She is an elderly woman. — your grandmother. I understand. Slie wishes to tell you that you have an enemy, — a tall dark-comple.x- ioned woman. Never tell her your secrets. Do not trust her. for she will betray you. That is the message from your grandmother. The second sjiirit is that of your great, great grandfather. He wishes to tell you that when he made his will he named your mo- ther as one of the relatives to receive money, but a wicked cousin destroyed tiie will. You must right this wrong. That is all. I listened intently and in my own mind decided tliat the woman was our neighl)or. Mrs. Wright. ( Poor Mrs. Wright. I accused her without a fair consideration of the evi- dence.) As for the will. I determined to ask my mother about it as soon as I should arrive home. Meanwhile the s])iritualist was coming out of the trance. She shuddered, opened her eyes, and then said. 1 know nothing whatever about what I have just told you. I do not know what the spirits make me tell. ow she led me to the crystal globe, tell- ing me to ask any question I wished and then look into the globe. I v. aited a moment and then .said. Let me see myself as 1 will be tliree years from now. Then I looked hastily into the globe. To my surprise 1 saw mysejf driving a truck. What, a ladv driving a truck! I was very mucii aston- ished. The spiritualist only smiled. Then I looked again. 1 .saw Inyself writing bus- ily. That was more to my taste. I loved to write. 1 asked several more (piestions about my future, and each time I saw my answer in the crystal globe. It was half an hour i)efore 1 was at last ready to go. h or the price of one dollar, 1 had received a message from grandmother, another from my great, great grandfather, and a reading of my past, present, and future. 1 felt that 1 had spent my dollar for a worthy ])urpose ; such is the delusion of Jhe superstitious! I JUST LOVE THE CH CUS Oh-li. (Inn ' t you know? exclaimed by little pink-ginghamed four-year-old neigh bor to her l)lue-ginghamed playmate. ]t ' s next Saturday and my mama and my daddy are going to take me. .My brother ' s going to get up real early an ' go down an ' help, then he ' ll get in for nothin . Gee, I wish I was a boy, sighed the blue-ginghamed girl, and then I ' d get in for nothin ' . an ' see the elephants an ' , an everythin ' — but I guess my mama ' ll take me. I haven ' t ever seen a circus in all mv life. I had i)een e esdro])j)ing on mv little friends, who were trying t ' play dolls but were not succeeding because the ' lure of the circus had displaced every other pleasure from their childish minds. ' The rest of their excited conversation went unheeded, for I was thinking of my first circus. It was a beautiful night and the moonlight shadows around the huge tents seemed to tell of romance and adventure in that un- known land of wild animals and tinseled ladies. f grasjjed my companion ' s hand tightly and we started for the main tent. Once inside, my heart thrilled with the sight of the big red balloons, pink lemonade and acres of sawdust. Everything was perfect, or so it seemed to me: hiit T liked especially the funny clowns and pretty ladies with the red lips. I cried when it was time to gr home, home to a drab life of dolls and dishes but no fairy ladies. The next day I finished by big bag of peanuts and oopcorn, stuck a pin in my balloon (to see what would hap pen), and began to wish for the next circus. To my inquiring friends I repeated the de- tails over and over acfain. and ended the narrative by sighing blissfully. Oh, it was wonderful. I just love the circus! The Saturday after the conversation with EN AVANT 39 my gingham friends J had occasion to go to town. Sterner subjects had driven a ;ay ali thought of the circus, and so I found myself wondering at the crowds that lined the streets. Then 1 saw the balloon man anil realized what was ha] |)ening. Soon I be- gan to watch the crowd. Mere in the front row was a crowd of children ; beside them a big fat man with a pros|)crous-looking cigar in his mouth stood idly viewing the crowd, and peering over liis shoulder was a small shabbily dressed woman who had evidently taken her brood to see the |)arade. i ' lir- ther down the street was a delegation ol negroes all dressed for the (jccasion and be- side them was a good |)orti()n of Chinatown, lioth sections had e(|uii)ped themselves with red balloons and black all-day suckers. I ' Yom somewhere out of this sea of human- ity there came a voice a little muffled by the popcorn the owner was evidently consum- ing. It was saying, Oh, ' lo May. I ' m goin ' to see the i) ' rade. lieen here since ten o ' clock. To my delight 1 recognized lit- tle .Miss IMnk Gingham and nut far from her J .saw Miss 151ue (Mngham. whose powers of mastication were similarly ex- erted. Every race, class and se.x could be found in this conglomerated mass along the street and all seemed to be enjoying the cel- ebration. I wondered bitterly, as I hurried along the street, why I could not enjoy it as I had on lhat moonlight night .so long ago. . To me the ladies in their brilliant gowns seemed but a mockery. The silly antics of the clown perhaps cloaked the real man whose ieart was sick of the never-ending roving life. The sweet smile of the tinseled ladies ])erhaps hid a longing for a home and a life free from the sham and farce of the circus. The pink lemonade and red l)alloons no longer attracted my longing glances, for I had learned something of the wavs of the circus since my first circus day. Only too well had I come to know that all ' is not gold that glitters. When I next saw Miss Pink Gingham I inquired about the late celebration and she exclaimed, Oh, it was wonderful, all the bears and everything, and 1 ' busted ' three balloons. 1 just love the circus. M.- Y XF.WTOX. THE TOLL OI- SILENT DESERT In the southwestern portion of Xew .Mex- ico, between the Saux River and the Sierra ilacheta Mountains, lies Silent Desert, a ast ex])anse of leaden skies and sun-baked sands shimmering in the sweltering heat. i ' cw, indeed, arc the men who have dared to traverse that stretch of certain death. Late on a hot afternoon in July, one soli- tary figure moved across the unbroken gray ness of the scene— -a weary traveler gamely |)lodding on in the face of a .scorching south wind that came hissing out of the hazy distance. The man had traveled far. His water bag was em|Uy, and fever throbbed in his veins. Suddenly the traveler halted. On the dis- tant horizon, where the dull skies seemed to meet the still duller sands, he spied some- thing green. .Upon closer scrutiny he coul ' l make out the forms of leafy trees and s|)ark- ling water. . ' o time for hesitation then. W ith trembling hands he tlrew a soiled and jagged pajier from his pocket, . fter exam- ining it for a second or two, he uttered a shout of joy, and again looked up. ISut alas! Silent Desert had ])layed him false. ' i he trees and the water were gone, and with them had departed the spirit that says, I ' ight on ! Slowly, then, like a crumbling wall, the disappointed tra eler fell face downward on the sand. Evening approached, the sun sank and the stars appeared, but the man did not stir. . gaunt sjjecter with fiery eyes tripped out of the darkness, then an- other aiul another. The animal children of Silent Desert were come to claim their own. HARRY . REX1). CLOl ' DS . XD SL ' XSIIIXE When all the sky is clouded i ' cr. And raindro])s thickly fall.

The feature of the honor roll this semester is the breaking of the in- dividual record for high scholastic standin g b - Margaret Rement. Miss Benient leads the Senior Honor Roll with an average of 97.1 per cent for four years ' high school studies. Elizabeth McClung was second with an average of 96.25 per cent, and Ed- ward Murphy third, with 96.2 per cent. All the first tliree on the list surpassed the ])re i()us record of 96 ]jer cent held by .Mar- ion i.afollete and Hoy Smith. Those who (|ualified for the iionor roll follow in the order of their ranking: largaret Bctnent, l ' lizabcth McClung, Edward Murphy. l ' na Xclson, Margaret Ingersoll. llarrv . rend.

All seniors who macle the honor roll will rccei e the North Central honor eml lem. the r)ld English letters X. C, at the com- mencement exercises. STATE PRESS ASSOCL TION formed the Washington State High School Press association. All high school publica- tions in the state were declared members of the organization, and Eugene Parmeter of Lewis and Clark high school was elected president for the next school year. The purpose of the association is to pro- mote better news writing work in the high schools, and to connect more closely the high schools of the state tlirough the ex- change of news. Because of the short time until the end of this term, no definite plans were made at the conference for the regular exchange of news between the schools. Despite this fact, many publica- tions have already started exchanging their imijortant news items. The second meeting of the association, and all meetings thereafter, will be held early in the fall instead of in tiie sjjring. This will enable it to take up new prob- lems and methods, and to helj) the high, school publications get started in the pro- per manner, at the beginning of the term. THE SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK in the afternoon of May 6. 1921, at the University of Washington, Seattle, wa.-- The problem of thrift among high school students has at last been solved by the school savings bank, established for the first time in Xorth Central high school this se- mester. The necessit) ' of some system to encourage students to save their money rather than to spend it for unnecessary things has long been felt. The fact that tiie students were, hitherto, unable to go to the banks during business hours, has caused many student s to neglect savin,g their money, and the result was that the money was soon sj ent. But there is no in- convenience caused by the school bank, since money can be deposited before school, dur- ing lunch periods, and after school, in room 109. any day in the school year. According to the statistics from the thrift 42 EN AVANT questionnaire sent out Friday, May 13, the boys and girls in North Central high school spend $2,812.95 weekly for unnecessary things. Almost all of this could be turned to a more useful account, if the students would deposit their money in the school bank. It has been estimateii that five cents saved every day throughout the ' school year will bring $10 by tlie end of the year. Ten cents saved every day would mean, aj)proximately, a $20 bank account b} ' the end of the year. The money taken in at school is kept in tlic Security State Bank, corner of Monroe street and College avenue. deposits are safe-guarded. In order to have a complete record of the deposits, (hii)licatc deposit slips must be made out by the student. One is kept at the school, and the other is sent to the bank. Money can only be withdrawn through the Security .State I ' .ank. Deposits on accounts can he made during the sum- mer vacation. Thus de|)osits may be in creased or withdrawn when school is not in session. The midget bank is conducted by the com- mercial dciiartment, under the direction of I . C. Van de Walker. The students taking the commercial course assist on the records. The aim of the thrift department, accord- ing to Mr. Van de Walker, is to encourage savings among the high school students for such i urposes as to pay graduation ex- penses, and to help pay expenses through college. LIBRARY There is only one other high school library in the United States that is as large and as well equipped as the North Central library. The North Central library, of which Miss Lucile Fargo is the librarian, has a seating capacity of 165. with a consultation room which seats fifteen ))ersons. It has been estimated that there is an average at- tendance of over 1000 students a day in the library. There arc approximately 7000 books now in the library, 1400 of which wore added this year. Of this number. 880 are the gifts of individuals. The library receives 42 per- iodical magazines regularly, including one Si)anish and one l- ' rench, and 107 new pam- |)hlets have been received this year. Approx- imately 2100 cards have been added to the card catalogue since last .September. I ' rom September, ' 1920, to AprW. 1921. there was an average of 71.1 per cent total circulation each day. This does not include supiilf mentary reading books. An addition which was made to the library this semester is The Story of the Book, reproduced from the set in the Library of Congress. The entire set con- tains three groups of two pictures each. The pictures were hand-painted by Miss Lillian Stowell, head of the art department, and the frames were gilded to match the furniture in the library. The open door policy of the library is well expressed in the following stanza : Are you in search of knowledge. The lore of olden states. Do you want to learn of art, Or tax, or railroad rates. Of stars or Dinosauri, Of lands that hold the Finn, The Esquimaux and Celts, Or where you mine your tin? Walk in! THE ATHLETIC BOARD The body which determines North Cen tral ' s athletic policies and awards all let- ters is the Athletic Board. Captains, man- agers, and coaches of all sports are members of the board, as are also Principal A. H. Ben- cfiel, Vice-Principal F. (i. Kennedy, and four pupils elected hy the student bod at large. The .Athletic lioard formerly met at lunch- eons, but since it has grown so large it meets upon special call. The student members last semester were Myron llanlev, Orin Matlock. Neal Smith. Ron Robertson, Milton Martin. Bob Smith, Bill Rendle, Orville Peterson, Berner Walk- er, Alex Bremner, Jerome Andrus, and John Morrow. All the students mentioned are not members now, as certain sj orts have gone out of season. . ndrus, originally track captain, has been re])laccd on the board by Morrov.-, who was elected captain because of Andrus ' being unable to participate in any competition. .NORTH CEX ' liRAL I ' KlXr SIIOl ' One of the departments of North Central which should receive special mention is the print shop, organized three years ago under the direction of E. E. (ireen. During the last three years the material and ecpii])ment used have more than doubled, and the cost has all been jjaid out of the proceeds from the print sho]). Besides turning out the tickets and pro- grams for the various school activities, the shoj) prints all the grade and high school literature for School District No. 81. in- cluding the semi-annual renort from the superintendent and secretary ' s offices. EN AVANT 43 Probably the most important function of the print shop is the i)rinting of the News. All the mechanical work on the paper, from the setting of the ads to the folding of the printed sheets, is done in the print shop. There are seventeen studen ' ts at present who are helping in some way with the make- iij) of the paper. They are under the direc- tion of E. E. Green and William Tool, press- man. This year the i rint shop organized a baseball team which jjlaycd many games with local nines. THE RED AND liL.VCK BOOK The Red and Black Book is the annual publication of, by, and for the students ol orth Central. It is not a large publica- tion ; the fact is, it is quite small — pocket size. It contains much general informa- tion about the school and its activities. It contains a list of tlic sports in which North C entral participates and the records of each; a complete list of the faculty, their depart- ments, and their room numbers; a list of all the organizations of North Central and their officers, i)urposes, and re(|uirements for membership; and much other valuable information which should be at the com- mand of all the students. The handbook was first publisiied last year by the (iirls League, i)ut this year the Associated Student Councils have taken charge of it. The committee of publication is ai)i)ointed by the chairman of the coun- cils. The issue put out by the Girls ' League- proved to be of much value to the students. The Associated Councils ha e taken it over with the hopes of making the future issues larger and more complete. FRENCH CONTEST The I ' rench contest was conducted for the first time, this semester, under the aus- pices of the Sans Souci club. The members of the club have decided to make the coti- tcst an annual e ent. The first winner jf the contest was Margaret Bement. Any student in North Central high school who iias taken three .semesters of h ' rench is eligible tor the cash prize, but they may ' i ' here is a cash jirizc of five dollars to the winner of the contest, and honorable men- tion to the persons winning second and third places. Members of the club are in- eligible for the cash prize. Init they can work for honorable mention. The contest is carried on like an examina- tion. The judges are three members of the faculty of the French department. They base their decision on the student ' s gram- mar, his ability , to re-tell stories, and his oral work. Each paper is numbered, and then each judge ranks it. The judges then cast their ballots. The student who ranks the highest in the opinion of all three judges wins the prize. The money used for the jjrize is taken out of the Sans Souci club funds. The purpose of the contest is to promote interest in I ' rcnch. and to encourage students to do better work in the language. THE VOX AWARD ICach semester an award is gi en by the Vox I ' uellarum .society to tlie girl of the graduating class who has made the most progress since she has been in school. Isa- bel Nelson was given the award this semes- ter. The award is a ten dollar casli prize. The winner is selected on the basis of how much improvement she has made in four years in regard to personality, accomplishments, scholarship, and overcoming of difficulties. The choice is made by a committee consist- ing of Principal A. 11. Benefiel. Miss . elle Wilson, Miss Jessie Gibson, and two girls appointed by the president of the club. Last semester the award was given to Dorothy Redd. ALGI ' IBRA CONTEST In the fall of every year the Mathematics club holds an algebra contest. . ny student who has had two semesters of algebra is eligible. The prize consists of a small silver loving cup, and the winner also has his name engraved on the Mathematics club trophy plate. The prize is jirovided from money furnished by the club. Margaret I ' ement was the winner of the contest last fall. The winner is determined by a process of elimination. The problems used are those involving the fundamentals of algebra, such as factoring and equations. The test is under the (lirection of a committee from the Mathematics club, and its faculty adviser. The competitors sit in rows, and when they have solved a i)roblem, they stop while the marker goes up the row and marks their papers. If the solution is right, he makes no mark : but if it is wrong, he marks it with a check. ' hen the student has made three errors, he drops out. The per.son who stays in the contest longest wins. The purpose of the contest is to ])romote interest in mathematics and to encourage the boys and girls to do well in their work. 44 EN AVANT TYPEWRITING CONTEST To be eligible to enter the typewriting contest one needs only to be enrolled in one of the four typewriting classes. Any one who writes a perfect paper for 30 minutes receives a silver loving cup. Lorin Mark- ham, June, ' 19, is the only jjerson who has ever won the cup. In case no one writes a perfect paper, the one making the highest score receives a prize of five dollars. Norma Sparlin, enrolled in Typewriting II, won the five dollar prize this semester. She wrote 47.8 words a minute, and made only three errors. The prizes are provided by th Commercial club. The rules of the contest are so made tiia! each contestant has an equal chance. The students enrolled in Typewriting I must write twenty words a minute, those taking Typewriting II must write thirty words a minute, those in Typewriting III must write fifty words a minute. The judges of the contest are three members of the Commei- cial club. The purpose of the contest is to act as an incentive for the students to acquire speed and accuracy in typewriting. VOX LITERARY CONTEST Any girl in school may take ])art in the Vox Puellarum literary contest by contrib- uting an essay, poem, or short story. Three prizes are offered. The first prize is fi c dollars, the second prize is three dollars, and the third is one dollar. The money for the prizes is taken from the ' ox Puellarum treasury. When the girls have submitted their essays, poems, or stories, the manuscri|)ts are numbered. None of the stories are signed. The articles arc then turned ovei to the judges— usually three teachers — who decide which of the papers has the greatest literary value. W ' hen each of the judges has reached a decision, lie casts his ballot and the result of the vote is then announced. This contest is given for the i)urpose of interesting the girls in the school in literary work. The winners this year were Mary Fosley. first; May Newton, second; and Ruth Nehrlich, third. CEOMETRY CONTEST Any one who is taking, or who has taken Geometry II is eligible to take part in the geometry contest, which is held in the spring of every year by the Mathematics club. The prize, like that for the algebra contest, is a silver loving cup, and the winner ' s name is engraved on the Mathematics club trophy plate. The prize is provided by the club. May Johnson won the contest this spring. The winner is determined by the process of elimination. The problems used are those involving fundamental geometric ])rinciples. The markers go up the rows and mark each student ' s pajier with a check when he misses a problem. Three mistakes eliminate one from the remainder of the coinpetition. The winner is the student who remains in the test the longest. The contest helps to promote interest in mathematics and gives encouragement to the students who take it. THE I ' AYNE LECTURES Charles A. Payne, an eminent traveler and lecturer from Washington State Col- lege, gave a series of five lectures in the .Vorth Central auditorium during the week, l ' ' ebruary 21-26. The talks were illustrated and were educational as well as entertain- ing. The subjects of the lectures were as follows : America — A World Nation, ■ lieautiful Hawaii, Creation — The Na- ture Story of World Building, Rome, . ncicnt and Modern, and After the War, and Europe Today. . n extensive advertising and ticket sell- ing ])rogram was carried out by the Student Council committee in charge. The purpose of these lectures, other than educational, was to establish a fund to purchase instru- ments for the school band. THE LIBRARY BOARD Sign here, please, and report to library board meeting Monday morning, is the recei)tion of a student who has misbehaved in the library. The first thing the average student learns concerning the library board is that it meets e ery Monday morning at eight o ' clock. A dignified-acting person whom the freshman lakes to be the president of the iioard, im- poses sentences on offenders. The girl who sits at the desk with the presiding oflficer and shuffles the cards in the index box is taken for the secretary. How do these people get their offices? Who appoints the library monitors? the new student asks. At the beginning of each semester the presidents of the Girls ' League and Boys ' Federation appoint two students from their respective organizations to act as members of the board. The fifth is chosen by the two presidents together. The body meets and elects a president and a secretary. The officers and meinbers EN AVANT 45 of the board for the last semester were Dick Smith, president; Gladys Evans, sec- retary; Orlen Bailey, Neal Holm, and Helen Honefenger. The library monitors for each period ot the da) ' are appointed by the board. Student government has worked very successfully this year. There has been no friction and good results have been oh- laiiied, said iiss Lucile Fargo, librarian. W ALLA WALLA DECLAMATION Walla Walla high school won the annual declamation from North Central on March 25 in a closely contested program, Wa-Hi receiving two of the three firsts awarded. Although North Central had a majority of points, the decision was given to Walla Walla because of their winning two firsts in the dramatic and humorous divisions. In the oratorical division, Wesley Robson, giving Coughlin ' s A Nation ' s Plea for a Chance, won from John Tiiomas of Walla Walla, who gave ' War and Public Opin- ion, by Reed. In the Palace of the King, was the dramatic reading of Miss Helen Dirks of Walla Walla. Miss Grace Glasser, the North Central entry, presented The White Silhouette. William Zeller of Wa-lli presented his humorous selection, The Great Pancake Record, in a pleasing manner. Miss Vera I ' .lusson of North Central gave Rabbits ' Eggs and Other Eggs. Both Miss Blusson and Miss Glasser are members of the .Mas(|ue. The judges for the contest were Mr. Keid of Pullman, Miss Lois Dart and F. Cushing Moore of Spokane. IN APPRECIATION Because of his untirin ' g devotion to the athletic teams of North Central, Dr. J. F. Hall was presented with a gold medal, bear- ing the North Central crest and the words, Tn ap])reciation. The medal was a gift of all athletes in school. The fellows have felt for a long time that they should recog- nize the service and devotion of Dr. Hall, and took this manner of so doing. GRl ' B STREET CLUP. CONTl ' . T In the annual Grub Street club literary contest held last month, .Alice Anderson vva ' awarded first [)rize f)f $10 and Isabel Nel- son won the second prize of $3. Two au- thors, (irace Glasser and Martha .Malzncr, lied for third place ; so the club decided to award each $3, the amount offered as third prize. This was the second contest held by the club and more than twenty compositions were turned in to the contest committee. The compositions could be of any literary nature, but had to be original, and could not exceed 1600 words in length. The pur- |)ose of the ct)ntests was to promote inter est in literary work outside of the class- rooms. The papers were first judged by the club members and the twelve receiving the high- est grades were then turned over to the final judges. The oflScial judges were W. J. Sanders, head of the North Central Eng- lish department; L. C. Robin.son, head of the English dei)artment of Lewi and Clark ; and Thomas Cahill, former principal of the llillyard high school. BAND AND ORCHESTRA The band, under the leadership of Tom Doran, now has about thirty-five members. The organization went to Spangle this s])ring, marched in some of the large parades, and played at various athletic contests in which North Central teams were entered. The band was greatly aided by the fund, which was raised by the North Central .Mothers ' clul), to buy instruments. C. Olin Rice, director of the band, is endeavoring to get complete uniforms for the boys next fall. The orchestra numbers only thirty-two members, but according to C. Olin Rice, director, it could be made much larger it there was a larger pit in the auditorium to accommodate it. The orchestra plays at entertainments, class plays, baccalaureate exercises, commencement exercises, and on various other occasions. The band and orchestra are noted for the fine class of music they i)lay, they do not waste time on the present day jazz. ' I ' llE CAFETERIA The North Central cafeteria is eciuipped to serve .vfi students each lunch period. There are 72 tables with eight stools at each table, liesides two large ranges, there are one steam .soup kettle and an electric dish washer in the kitchen. Students help pre- |)are and serve the food, and clean up after each lunch period, but there are two women who are hired to do the cooking and to oversee the other duties. Students who help in the cafeteria get their lunches free. 46 EN AVANT THE VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT The vocational department, under the direction of Miss Xelle Wilson, lias accom- plished much durinff the last year. Many sets of questionnaires have been passed out to the students in an endeavor to find out their needs, their abilities, their accomplish- ments, their ambitions, and vari ous other data which would assist in jjctting positions for those students who need them and in finding the right position ; for the right students. This department does not confine its work entirely to the students who arc now in school, but assists many graduates to gain positions or to gain better positions. By its cooperation with the business houses of the city and with the students, it is able to perform a valuable service to both. HONOR AWARDS Besides the members of the Honor Roll, seven mciubers of the graduating cla.ss will be awarded honor emblems in recognition of their services to the school. Laura Karn will receive an honor letter for her work in the vocational department of the Girls ' League; Helen Kubillus, for work in the social service de]jartment of the (iirls ' League; Delberl Mc.X ' amara, for accoun- tancy work on the News: Gilbert Bean, for work on the News; Glen Johnson, for work in the Boys ' Federation; Isabel Nelson, for art work, and Richard Smith. ff)r iioys ' I ' cfl- eration work. Six members of the class, who are on the Honor Roll, will also receive honorable men- tion for school service. They are : Mar- garet Bement, Girls ' League; Gladys Evans, library; Erna Nelson, art and (jiris League; Elizabeth McClung. (iirls ' League; Delmar Ruble. Boys ' Federation, and Ernest Weth- crell. News. DELTA HI-.nXX Gray-headed mothers, solemn stout fath- ers, perfumed sisters, and bashful lovers applauded through tears of laughter at the annual Delta Hi-Jinx held in the school auditorium on the evening of .April 2 ' K The eight excellent acts of l)oth professional and amateur character were given before the largest audience that ever attended a per- formance at North Central. .Apjjroximately 1.100 people found seats or standing room, and probably 100 more were turned away. Pep was the watchword from the min- ute the syncopations of the Delta jaz c orchestra started, until the curtain fell on the last act of The Empty Barrel, the feat- ure comedy of the evening. The two Corhan brothers as paperweight boxers furnished a good curtain-raiser in A Round or Two of Fun. The Delta Comedy Trio, Marshall, Ruble and Bailey, were especially good in their presentation of popular songs. Miss Caris Sharp presented her pupils in dance divertisements which won the ap- proval of all. Brick Johnson and Dick Smith, in their presentation of Prince Homer Ki-Ya-Hu- Rah, the Mysterious Indian Prince, were original and got many laughs. Professor J. Deatherage, professional ven- triloquist, was on the program with his company of talking dolls. Guy Seacrist, magician, puzzled the audience with his tricks. The last number was the musical comedy, The Empty Barrel, in ' two acts, which was s])lendidly acted by a large cast of sing- ers and dancers. The comedy was written and directed b) ' Leo A. Borah. CUPID CLUB Another honorary society is under pro- cess of organization. As in the Avoirdu- |)ois club, certain conditions must be true of mv, or rather of two, before they are considered for membership. The member ship of this proposed society will always be half masculine and half feminine, since two members are taken in at a time, a boy and a girl. The ti ouble encountered by many clubs in arranging a partner for every one will be eliminated in this organization. To qualify for membership, two people must be so taken up with each other th they are always seen together between per iods, at lunch and after school, to say noth ing of eveiy evening. The charter members for the new hon- orary society will probably be Dick Smith and Lucille Stone, Ron Robertso i and Glen- mar Witt. Dwight Snyder and Louise Clau- sen, Ed Williams and Jean ditto, Bill Tou- sey and . ileen Linne ' . ' a.h Horn and Mar- garet Bement. Del Ruble and Elizabeth Poole. THE AVOIRDUPOIS CLUB . ny student in school who weighs over 200 pounds automatically becomes a mem- ber of the Avoirdu|)ois club. The members at the present time are Tom Laird. Fred Marshall. Harlcy Olson. Marguerite Mil Icr, Kathleen Riley, llclen Honefenger. and Norman Jones. The name is taken from thi- EN AVANT 47 fact that the members have an unusual amount of avoirdupois. Officers were chosen on the weight scale, tlie heaviest being given the highest office and so on down the list. The officers are : Harley Olson, i)resi(lent; Tom Laircl, vice- president; I ' red Marshall, secretary, and .Marguerite Miller, treasurer. Till : jesti-:r contest I ' y contributing the most acceptable ma- terial to the IVep School number of the Jes- ter, comic monthly magazine of Columbia University. New York, the North Central News was awarded first ])lace over some . 00 high schools from all parts of the United States. In consequence, the News was pre- sented with a silver loving cup by the Jes- ter. Fred Marshall of North Central tied for third place for national honors in individual art contributions. His main work was en- tered in the frontispiece competition but he also drew cartoons to illustrate the comic stories. The contributions from North Central were not signed, with the exception of Mar- shall ' s drawings, but were sent in the name of the News. The articles used were the work of James Hanifen. Maurice Amiot. Maurice SafTle. Philip llindley. Roliert Smith .and lirnest W ' etherell. all of whom have been News Column editors. 48 EN AVANT SENIOR PICNIC Fate seemed against the seniors from the start, the clay of the picnic at Medical Lake, but, nothing daunted, the acKenturers start- ed out and braved the cold and rainy weath- er. All day long the sun played tricks with the clouds, sometimes shining so brightly as almost to discourage them, but only to slip back again, and from its iiiding place, to watch the torrents fall. The special train was compelled to stoji more than once after it left the terminal station to let on some of the belated but would-be passengers. But at last the train was on its way. One lone damsel boarded the car in haste and glanced anxiously from face to face in search of her handsome swain, but the unfortunate damsel was doomed to a disappointment. With a woe-begone look, she seated herself in the corner of the car and subsided. The travelers were well entertained. -An extemporaneous program, consisting oi speeches and jokes, followed by several mu- sical selections, was given. Orlen l ailey and Fred Marshall were the leaders in the fun. Arriving at the lake, the i)icnickers found that the gasoline launch was in ])Oor shape, but could manage somehow to take 28 peo- ple across the lake in about fifteen minutes. Not wishing to waste time, some of the more ambitious members of the party walked around to the other side. Some of the rest waited until a rowboat came up and they were given a chance to be rowed across, and some of them waited until the launch returned. At last, the entire party reached the other side of the lake by some means. There were three sources of entertainment for the boys and girls: first, they might take a rowboat and go out on the lake ; second, they might visit the -Medical Lake insane asylum : and. third, if they were lucky enough to have friends who had a car. they might go for an automobile ride. If these three pastimes failed to draw the visitor out, he could sit on the shore and watch the others enjoy the boat-riding. The |)ic- nickers were thus entertained in various ways in the afternoon before the lunch was served. The showers being frequent, every one soon had damp clothes but no one had damn spirits. The sun would shine so brilliantly on the lake as to tempt the joy-seekers to go out in the rowboat, and then the trickster would slip behind a cloud, and laugh at the discoinfited riders of the waves, while the rain poured down. Their light summer wearing apparel was little prepared for such showers. Searching for shelters, the students ran for tiie tent-houses in Camp Comfort and huddled under the roofs, laughing and joking even while their teeth chattered. The lunch, being now prepared, every one formed in a line, while the plates were filled with baked beans, potato salad, three sand- wiches, a sweet pickle, and a glass of leiri- onade. The hungry guests soon made way with the last crumb of this rejiast, and hur- ried back for the dessert, which consisted of ice cream and cake. After making sure that all the refreshments were gone, the members of the party separated once more, and each one took his own way. The time before the train left was spent in much the same manner as the time before the lunch was served. No doubt you are curious about the lone damsel in search of her swain. Yes, she found him, but alas, he was burdened with another of the fair sex. With the patience and good-nature such as his type always |)os- sesses, he undertook to provide amusement for both of his friends. His intentions were good, but that three makes a crowd, is a fact that can not be done away. One by one the returned travelers strag- gled into the Medical I ake terminal sta- tion, to await the departure of the train. In order to make the time pass swiftly some of the students of Miss Elliot ' s advanced ex- l ression class entertained the crowd inside the station. The jjrogram consisted of read- ings by Blanche Swinford, Pauline Thomj)- son, and Mary Fosley. The weary but gay picnickers boarded the train for home. When all were seated, the jokes, speeches, and songs were reijevved. Maggie Miller and Fred Marshall .sang Sweetheart, and .several other po])ular songs, while the rest of the passengers joined in. Every little while the engine whistle joined in also, but it .someiiow lacked the harmony which characterized the other tunes. Thus the tiiric passed until the travelers descended on Riverside avenue, each to take his own way once more. EN AVANT 49 mAy DA]] EXERCISES At tlic annual May Day exercises l ' ritlay. April 29, I.ucile .Maj ee was cnnvned Ouecn of tile May by Irinen Gihiicy. Six senior yirls, dressed in white, preceded the queen and her attendants. They formed an arch- way with wands, under which the ipieen marched to the throne. The (|ueen was at- tended by Lucille Stone and .Marjorie Kitto. Lily Finlay carried her train. The senior girls were Maryalice Hogle, Gladys Rcaume, Dorothy Anderson. Lenna Haird, Lura Kail, and Helen Anderson. The following program was | resented before the throne : Violin solo, Leo Kailin; vocal duet. Mar- guerite Miller and Fred Marshall; fancy dance, Rustic Courtship, Zella Jacobson and Florence -McCullough; Spanish dance. Zona Hubbell, .Margaret Murphy, Naida I ' aulds, Julia Flory, Ruth Hamlin, Margaret Jngensoll, Evelyn Blair. Catherine Franzen, and Doris Robinson. The dance was direct- ed by Mi s Elsa F ' inkham. An orchestra composed of Margeret Sla- ter, piano; Frank Pratt, cornet; Alex Brem- ner, .saxophone; Dorothy Robinson, violin, and Ed Williams, xylophone, played several l opular numbers. The program was given twice in order to permit all the students to witness the exer- cises. qrtiE FLUNKIN ' ROIP Johnny Deane was my old pal When wc were both in Hi.gli. . nd he sat in the I ' lunkin ' Row While I was placed near by.

With the first-strin i- letter men as a nu- cleus. Coach Taylor developed a fast team which met and defeated seven different quintets, losing to the eiglith team by one point. Those letter men who reported to Coach Taylor were Captain Milton Martin, at a guard position ; Jack Davis at center, and Kent Allen at forward. Walter Horn made the other forward and Max Leslie the other guard. ' I he annual ti e-ganie series wiih Li-wis and Clark high school was won by . orlh Central, the series going the full five games. . orth Central won the first game on their own floor. The next two went to Lewis and Clark, but . orth Central with her never- failing fight and the loyal student sup- l)ort, won the fifth game before a crowd of 1800, on her own floor. I5oth North Central and Lewis and Clerk suflfered severe blows when two members of the Red and Black squad. Jack Davis and EN AVANT 51 Richard Duvvc, were lost by the gradualicMi route, as were llutsell and Tytherleigh of Lewis and Clark. In addition to the regular five-game series with Lewis and Clark, it was necessary for orth Central to meet the (ionzaga high school in a three-game series to decide the cit ' cham])ionshi|), which was won b ' the Red and lUack five in a bitterly-fought scries. At the Inland Empire tournament held annually by the S. A. A. C, North Central drew Walla Walla, one of the strongest Icains entered in the tournament, and suf- fered defeat at their hands by a one-jjoint margin, in one of the fastest am most bit- terly-fought games of the tournament. Coach J. Wesley Taylor was in a great measure responsible for the team ' s show- ing. Too much can not be said for Mr. Taylor in his splendid and efficient handling of the boys. He was with his boys con- stantly and accompanied them on all their trips. The boys who received first team letters were Captain .Milton Martin, who also re- ceived the Delta Honor .Medal and was jjlaced on the All-Inland Empire basket ball team; Kent .Allen, captain-elect; Jack Da- vis, Richard Duwe. Max Leslie, Ldren Woods, Walter Horn, Cecil 1 latton, and Manager Ronald Robertson. Those who received second-team awards were Ernest ICdge.

Mr. Reager first be- came connected with Xorth Central when he refereed the Delta slag bouts. lie then picked the best men and organized a boxing club that has taken part in several big matches in the city. rhe club has ajjpeared at the Legion in two matches and gave an exhibition for the Woodmen of the World. They defeated the ( ionzaga high school boxers, won three l laces in the cit) ' championship matches at the S. .A. .A. C. and also staged severa ' stags for the high school clubs. The Delta club gave Mr. Reager a medal in appreciation of the work and interest he has promoted in the fistic line. lie will stay on his ranch near Wallace this summer and will return in the fall to resume his work. CTRE SCROOL bASEbALL LEAQUE The Reds won the championship of the North Central baseball league when they defeated the Centrals 12- ' on May 12. The four teams. Reds, Blacks. Xorths. and Cen- trals, consisted of all baseball candidates not on the first anil second teams. The object was to promote interest in baseball among the future prospects for the first team. PRITIT SROP BASEBALL The printshop baseball team, organized this spring under the direction of E. E. Green and William Tool, defeated the Web- ster junior high school in a three-game ser- ies. Stowe. pitcher for the print shop nine, struck out twenty men in the first contest. Games were also played with the McKin ley and B. .A. A. C. nines. The print shop team was defeated in the series with the McKinley high, but was victorious over the B. A. A. C. nine, the score being 4-0. 52 EN AVANT TRACK Fitfhting; against overwhelming odds, cri])- pled by the loss of their cajstain and three other heavy point winners last year, the North Central track team in the meet with Lewis and Clark, went down to defeat that was not without glory, for they contested every event with true Red and Black sijiriL and courage. The Red and Black scjuad fought an up- hill fight from the start, for very early in the season Captain Jerome .Andrus was taken ill with pleural ])neumonia, which kept him out for the remainder of the sea- son. At the interclass meet. John Porter, broad jumper, fell sick with diphtheria, which prevented his returning to the squad for the rest of the season. .V short time before the clash with Lewis and Clark. Albert Loren, star miler. and John Smith, crack sprint man. were taken ill and were in a weakened condition for the meet. My- ron llanlcy could not ])articipate because three weeks ' absence caused by smallpox prevented his being eligible. North Central had three scheduled meets during the season and John Morrow waa individual high jxiint winner of all three, making a total of . 4 jjoints for the three meets. The first meet of the year was with the W. S. C. frosh. North Central being severe- ly trounced to the tune of 94-37. In the second meet of the year, the Red and Black squad matched skill and ability with the combined teams of Kellogg and Wallace, I laho, at Kellogg on May 14th. The final score stood North Central 781 ., Wallace and Kellogg 521 4. In the third and final meet of the season. North Central suflfered defeat at the hands of the Lewis and Clark squad, the score being 771 ;. to 48 . The outstanding feat- ures of the meet were the work of Morrow of North Central, high-point man, and the breaking of the shot put and high jump records by Ralph Case and Eugene Parme- ter, both of Lewis and Clark. John Morrow was tlw individual star of the meet, winning first in the pole ault and placing second in the broad jump, high jump, high hurdles, and 100- yard dash for a total of 17 ])oints. Ted Collard of Lewis and Clark was second with Id points, and Henry Komniers third with l.T i)()ints. luigene I ' armeter of Lewis and Clark .set a new record in the high jump by clearing the bar at 5 feet 8 7-8 inches. Ralph Case, also of Lewis and Clark, hea ed the shot a distance of 40 feet 6 ' . inches, establishing a new record. The meet was unusual because of the fact that North Central ' s ho])e was centered around one man. Those who earned their letter awards this year were Captain John .Morrow. .Myron EN AVANT 53 Hanley, Howard Pollock, John Smith, Ed- ward Gullette, Ernest Edge, Kenneth Bush, Harold Berven, Cecil Hatton, Lyman Haynes, Miltcm Martin, George Pearson, Ronald Robertson, Claybon Lipscomb, James Warren, Dick Cheatham, Virgil Eranklin, Albert Loren, and Joy Williams. In spite of the misfortunes the team has suffered in losing some of its star perform- ers, the one cheerful and optimistic person on the squad was Coach J. Wesley Taylor. His services to the team deserve the highest praise, for he was in a great measure responsible for the showing of the team in the Lewis and Clark meet. BASEBALL What promised to be a successful season with nine letter men on the squad, proved to be disastrous with the defeat of the . orth Central nine by Lewis and Clark in three straight games for the first time in the his- tory of the schools. Sickness, failure of j)layers to make their grades, and unsteady playing contributed to the team ' s defeat, although one of the features of the season was the steady and valuable playing of Ca])- tain Bill Rendlc. The first out-of-town game was playeil with the W. .S. C. freshmen at Pullman, April 23, North Central losing by a score of 9-8. Brassington and Cheatham were the battery for the Spokane nine. North Central won the second outside game played with Chewelah at Cliewelah, April .10. The final score was S-2. I ' yers- dorf worked on the mound and Henry on the receiving end. In the Lewis and Clark series, nuineror.s errors, together with a lack of team-work, and the ability of the Orange and Black nine to take all the breaks of the games, caused the North Central team to lose. Lewis and Clark took the first game 9-2. the second 7-4. and the third 6-, . In the last two games, the N. C. nine nuthit the rivals 10-5 and 7-4. Byersdorf pitched all three games Matlock caught the first and Henry the others. Sorenson and llansen of Lewis and Clark, and Rendlc of . orth Central were the stars of the series. North Central took two of the three games with Gonzaga high, losing the second by a score of 8-7, and winning the last 4-2. It was the first series with Gonzaga. but was entirely successful. By winning from North Central and Gon- zaga, Lewis and Clark won the city high school championship. The North Central lineu]5 as it was most of the season follows : Henry, catcher ; Byersdorf, Brassington, pitchers; Matlock, first; Leslie, second; Rendle. third; .Mien, short stop; Svvanson, left; Berven. center. McGrath. right; Wat- son, utility fielder. Rendle was captain, and liob Smith was manager for the season. Two positions are given North Central, three to Lewis and Clark, and four to (jon- zaga on the North Central News mythical all-star city high school nine. The lintt-up is as follows : I ' ueston, L. C, catcher. Sorenson. L. C. |)itcher. I ' laherty. Gonzaga, first base. Teters, Gonzaga. second base. Rendlc. N. C. third base. Swanson. N. C. left field. Dosch. Gonzaga. center field.

Tlie cluh recently presented a Spanish CAMPFIRE qiRLS The Chcmawa Campfire group, of which Miss Annette Francisco is guard- ian, have accomplished many things since their organization early in April. Their first problem was to find a means of getting money for their cere- monial gowns. To start this fund each girl was required to bring 12 cents. The fund was then swelled by the proceeds which a sale of organdy flowers, and another of candy, netted. According to Laura Karn, president, the group now have sufficient money to pay for all the ceremonial gowns. At present the girls are earning money by procuring sub- .scriptions for McCall ' s magazine. This money will he used to pay tne expenses of a trip to some lake in the near future. The first ceremonial meetmg of the organization was held three weeks ago at Down River park. At this meeting plans were formulated for making the ceremonial gowns. Thursday, May 19, the group entertained with a picnic at Five Mile. .Mrs. R. E. Chandler was their guest. During the evening the members won camp-craft honors by learning to build three standard kinds of camp-fires. They then enjoyed a picnic supper and weiner roast. Last Thurs- day the girls met in room 111 to start the making of their ceremonial gowns, and to bead their headbands. The bead- ing looms which the girls are using were made by the girls themselves. The second ceremonial meeting will be held Friday evening. June 8, at 7 :v30, in the school gymnasium. Miss Lillian Stowell, who is an hon- orary member, deserves special mention for her efTorts to help make the organi- zation a success. She has nelped the girls in the designing of their head- bands and in the making of their cere- monial gowns. The officers of the Chemawa group are Laura Karn, president ; Eleanor Chandler, secretary; Gladys Evans, as- sistant secretary, and Beulah Parrill, treasurer. 70 EN AVANT SCHOOL CALENDAR Feb. 1.
