Must I hid farewell to the (iod-gripping spell Of yon peaks when they pass from my sight? Will I hear no call, no roar from the fall Of the torrent that stumhles its way Down the rock-torn side of that summit, untried? — Will its music he lost in a day . ' The answer comes, — No! Wherever you go. Those wonderful moments return To hrighten your life in the press of the strife. How priceless, then only, you learn. North Central to you, I must then he true, I was part of your life — you of mine. For four years. Nor could lose those years should I chose, Since their dreams in my heart are your shrine. You were hap[)iness, tears, in those glorious years; Ambition achievement and fame. You were bread; you were gall. Inspiration, dreams, — all Come back, and will come, with your name. Then I like the rest shall welcome the test That life gives to prove out your creed. For I know as of yore you will conquer once more. In life as in school you will lead. Dear old school, we may part but when memories start, As they will for the Red and the Black, Then the old days renew, and my loyalty too. Through my life, through success, I ' ll come back.

As buxom and smart and clean of heart As the Lord knew how to make ' em !

There are no boys like the good old bovs, — When we were boys together !

Pai c Iweniy-five TALAH I CLASS WILL r , the j raduating class of January ' 23, realiziiifj that we are rcspon- sihle for the fact that North Cen- tral is the best school in the world — a ' hem — hope that the school may continue along the primrose l)ath of success. But knowing the deficiencies of those who are to follow us, we find it necessary to sacrifice the following accumulations. We leave Roscoe Herndon ' s excess avoir- dupois to Dick Stejer hoping that he may realize his ambition of weighing 93 pounds. We give Loeta John ' s record to Kearney Walton, with the wish that he attend more to his studies and, under the benign influence of Loeta, to curb his wild tendencies. We bequeath Dorothy Kippen ' s curls to the head janitor for an O-cedar mop. We leave a handsome old dagguerotype of Ed Adams and Phyllis Schaikle to the trophy ca.se as their like will never again be .seen in . orth Central. We leave a certificate of remembrance to the Girls ' League from Jakey Coetz because he is grieved that he will have to leave that organization to shift for itself now that he is giving up active control since he will graduate. He always wanted to get in that society. We leave the uniquely formed lower limbs of LeRoy Riddle to torn Laird because science tells us that an arch will support more tonnage than a column. V ' e bequeath the hair of Wesley Jonas, the eyes of Janice McAvoy and the lady-killer line of Frank Jenkins to George Castle, hop- ing that with these he may corner the affec- tions of that freshie dancer that he is chasing so diligently. The class play cast will the entire output of the Krause Candy comi)an) ' and Hoyt Bros., the florist ' s, to the stage crew to add to what they swiped after the second act of Dulcy. We leave our photo proofs to the senior B ' s, with prayer that their pictures will be worse than ours, which isn ' t possible. We had almcst decided to will Winnie Eal - to Dick Marks but that little cuss hasn ' t enough brains to appreciate his good luck so we ' ll be darned if we will. We give the Old Faithful Company — Tom and Louie Aston — to the next clas.s — not that they need ' em. The girls in the class give a vote of thanks to Georgia Eells because she made Ding Grover a woman hater. We had almost decided to leave Carmen Eggerth to Maury Balfour, but we don ' t see what .she ever did to be treated like that. We almost bequeathed Ed Miller to Joyce Grier, but decided it wasn ' t necessary. The News staff leave the lecture course put on for their benefit to the next staff — God help ' em. We leave the .self admitted good looks of Elmer Hix to I ' aul Berry Smithson to add to the good looks — also self admitted — he already has. We leave Martha .Xhrens perfectly wonder- ful blond hair to Dorothea Oien — not that she needs it. (Paid Adv.) Ray Currie wanted us to give his guileless smile and angelic hair to the woman that broke his heart. Will little Dea Davis please step up and say, thank you for them. Homer Manley ' s everlasting devotion to Mary McMaster we leave to the highest bidder — don ' t crowd, folks. We were going to leave something to Ethel Lafferty, but as she seems perfectly satisfied with the class president she already has, we decided that she didn ' t need it. We leave Don Smith and Frank Jenkins to the Review, with pra_ er that the cartoonist will get some more ideas for Harold Teen from them. This class gives Stub Hatton to Walla Walla as he seems to like that town ' s feminine population e.xceetlingly well. We leave Thelma Parmenter ' s dignity to the freshies. Heaven knows they need it. Those that were not mentioned were omit- ted because our rates are strictly ca.sh and they wouldn ' t come through with euough to buy their ])ublicity. l ast, but not least, we leave our prof and respect for the best high school in the world — North Central. With a pang of sorrow, way down inside, we leave her to the doubtful mercies of the dumb-bells that are to follow us. Thus exits the best class that ever bluffed through a lesson. We are gone, but don ' t forget us. ( Signed ) TN ■RED EALY, chairman EDWARD T.

While I made much close listen last eve- ning, this intelligence I receive from the little telephone box without wires. It so me inform that much holiday occur in a school called North Central which seem to be disgorging famous class of great notoriety. This parting make great sadness in spots and relieve a great deal in others. So I am acquire this intelligence. — Hon- orable class of January month 1923, being so very oung and tender in January, month 1919, flu bug bite with much ardor and make school close up to fumigate. Finally big con- signment of freshie greeness arrive and are admitted on day which belong to St. Patrick, the same being distinguished for green trim- mings. Little fresh boy have at first great trouble and look, see much to find right room. He cannot discern and dispo.se himself in room dispensing English VIII. He find this much embarrassing and excavate himself with rapid departure. After honorable fresh bov have receive time to get a little bit sane, club called Deltas think it time to make him more so and pro- duce entertainment called Freshie Frolic. This give great appeal to inner man through much great store of doughnuts and cider, but the last prove great disappointment through lack of cider — it being pop. Vox Puellarum make similar good time fa.r little fre.sh girls, who do not meet disappointment as have ice cream and cake. Time pass and much trouble ensue when must make organization with president. All little fresh boy determine seemingly to avoid trouble but finally little fresh girls arrange hapi)iness for family by being officials. iMore organization made when become sophomores but now take less time because nitelligence have increase proportionately with time. Two dollars and thirty-five cents, monev called dues, treasurer collect without fatalitv. The same save much financial embarrassment when become seniors. Time pass and the class once again make much organization with president. Juniors ad(jpt -di official emblem a triangle with much red rising sun on top and North Central across just below and Jan. ' 23 in point. People are now knit together by insignia and become a unit integral which can function en toto. No time is waste by most, but the pause for breath persons at last make mental anguish and plunge over the senior goal uncertain in touchdown. The top of ladder is now attainment. Though ambition realized, yet ambitious .senior make man name Thomas Edison look, see mere sluggard and know not dav of eight hours from Arabian Nights. Even great class dues have no time to be bewailed. Famous class before seem about to be dis- gorged and must be feted. At place called Liberty Lake in congregation much new set of Jiu Jitsu men are lighted in tournament called horse shoe pitching. Dulcy cast from class make successful. Day for children is observed and grownups changed to little fre.sh boys and girls. All things end. Now shouting is over all an(I long hoi)ed for white sheet of paper brings incidents of event to close. (Signed) LOETA JOHNS, chairman GLEN KOLL NAIDA FAULDS Pafie twenty-nine TAI.AHI CLASS PROPHECY 9 CI n li 11 li r first all was in darkness ; grad- ually it began to grow lighter. I ' rcsently I discerned a sign board in front of me. I noticed that it _ _ _ was advertising the feature on the 5fe I ' antages circuit. It was a picture II of Carmen Eggerth and her band of sprites consisting of Ruth iliirlxhardt, Lydia Borgardts, Signe Peterson, Rhea ithers, Irene Edburg and Elsie Zeige. They were tripping the light fantastic. i s I went on I saw Janice McAvoy. Evi- dently she had not forgotten how to write nor lost her oratorical ability. With the latter of these two factors she was persuading the matron of the Home for Indigent Bugs to admit Earl Broyles, I,eRoy Riddle, Jimmie Warren and Cyril Fletcher. You know they always were a bashful lot, afraid to speak for themselves. On the ne.xt corner I saw Easter Court- right, I ' Vancis Edlund and Elizabeth Green, talking over the good ol ' days. In the Little Red School House seemed to be the pre- vailing subject. Don Smith, Glenn Taylor and I ' rank Jen- kins seemed to have become beneficent, for I noticed an institute founded hy them. It was a Home Finding society for dogs, cats and mice. Oh the celestial music ! Dot Kippen and ' oeta Johns, members of the famous jaz. ' orchestra, were filling the air with that which made the people leave. Among those leaving were Harry Roning, Don Thom])son, Paul Schnebly and Herbert Strand. They seemed to be quite overcome by the sweet melodious tones. Then I met Mae Tuttle. She told me that Ross Osborn and Wesley Jonas had made a success in running a girls ' lioarding school in Chene . She al.so told me that . rthur Ford, Clifford Johnson and Charles Ik-ntley had be- come millionaires running an undertaking es- tablishment in Colfax. Presently I began to fly through the air. When I was put down on earth again I was sure that I had never been in any place that was so beautiful. I saw Esther Ilarvie coming towards me. She said that she Christena Hal)- ura, Irene McElroy and Mary Mickels had set up an ideal colony. They had spared no mone ' in trying to make it the most artistic and gorgeous inhabitation on earth. A voice whispered in my ear that they had gained their money by selling fake mining stock t(j Mr. Ramsey. , s I v ent on my way Jack Grover passed me. He stopped to tell me all the gossip that he knew. He said that Ed Adams had got a rather bad reputation by running a bootlegging establishment. He also said that Thelma Par- menter, I ouise Luecken, Hazel DeCamp and Hazel Sorenson, after their husbands left them, had turned to scrubbing as an occupa- tion. A little bit after Jack left me, Allen Sherer overtcjok me. As he walked along he told me some more news about the members of our class. He said that Vivian Olson and Mabel Seeley were manicuri. ' ts down in Bishop ' s Barber shop. When he remarked that Charles Brown, Herbert Buttke, Earl Johnson and Norman Carver were running a matrimonial bureau, I recalled that they always did have a tendencN for match making, even in high school. The ne.xt peo])le I met were Winifred I aly, Phyllis Schalkle and Doroth - Eaw.son. They were .so sunburned that I hardly recognized them. They were just back from Africa where they had been converting the heathen. They had succeeded so well that they (the heathens) had set up a republic with Wini- fred Ealy as president. . s I passed a large assemblv hall I saw Evelyn Hellem with her aides, Bernice Barton, Helen Gehrke and Bernice I ' almer. Evelyn, who had become a suffragette, was giving a lecture there to an empty hall. lilancing over a magazine I happened to have picked up, I saw that Robert LeMar ' s name would go down to the ages, for it was he who discovered that the stars were in the sky. His assistants, Beulah Florida and Grace Kramer bettered the world by inventing a shock-absDrber for restaurant soup-eaters. I arrived at Dartford soon and found that our old friend Homer Manley had not for- gotten his managing al)ilities, for he had started an enterprising business section there where a good number of my old classmates were living.

It was a hot (lay and the sweat rolled off the l)rows of a little grotip of men, who were attempting to lift a heam to the toj) of a wall. Near by stood the corporal shouting, Heave ho! Heave ho, men ! A man, who had come up the road, paused and said, Why do ou not help them? The corporal drew himself erect. Sir! he said, I am the corporal. I see, said the man, and when he had added his shoulder to those already under the beam, it soon was resting on the wall. Turning to go, the man vvi|)ed the sweat from his forehead and said, Sir corporal, if you ever v ish for aid in any other task, call for your commander in chief. The corporal was thunderstruck. School is made up either of commanders in chief or corporals. There are no under men. There, }ou are a commander in chief or you are a corporal. H you help with the beam you are a commander in chief. If you stand aside and tell them to heave ho, you are a corporal. I ' m not going to the committee meeting. It ' s too pokey. In other words, I can ' t do the disagreeable work. I am the corporal. Others can flo the common labor. I am need- ed for higher work. chairman of a certain committee was called upon to send some of her girls to do work after school. This chairman, although imable to secure the required number of girls, did not go herself. If you had asked her, she probably would have replied, indignantly, Sir! I am the corporal, or words to that effect. North Central should have no corporals. Let us all be commanders in chief. o — o DOES IT PAY? The business world has a small minority of people today, whom when accosted on the question of education, steadfastly declare that a cfillege education is unnecessary for success. Not only do the_ scoff at the necessity of a college education l)ut they also maintain that the knowledge acquired fnmi high school is of no practical value. These people term themselves self-made men who perhaps did not have the opportunities that we have today. The ' assuine that because of the fact that the ' received no college education that others can attain success as well without these es- sentials. Hut is it true? From bare statistics the fact is brought out that the majority of successful men has received more than high school train- ing. Whether they have attended college or not they have been benefited by training that is higher than the work that the common schools offer. Not only does college furni.sh the desired training along educational lines but also along the enjoyable side of life. So when you make your decision as to what your future course will be concerning a college education, weigh the possibilities and the re- sults and you will take the advice of the suc- cessful man who says, if you want to have an education that pays, go to college.

Sis says Miss Wyman has an awful ti:nc keeping him in the News office after school ' cause the girruls like to talk to him in the halls.

Here ' s one of my favorites. Lois Byler ' s ' er name. She come over to supper the night before she went to California— gee! I hated to see her go — and after we had et she got dramatic and spoke a sobbin ' piece ; but then she saw how bad she was makin ' me feel and she spoke a funny one just for me. Kind-hearted I think and sis says she was one of the most populous girruls at school. Then here ' s Miss Gibson, of course I ' m not acquainted so good with her but I under- stand she ' s the foundaticm of the Girruls ' League.

She is awfully bright of course, ' cause she is takin ' News writin ' . I ' m not sure but I think she is a descendent of Andy Gump ' s and .so of course she doesn ' t wear any man ' s collar. Mr. Meyer savs she is a natural born humorist. Yes, and here ' s Glenn Taylor. He ' s in a lot of clubs and he ' s awful pop ' lar at school and so sis got an awful kick when he asked her to go to the senior banquet last year. I was plavin ' hide and seek with my kid brother, Billv, that night just before Glenn come and I was hid under the davenport and Billy was so slow a-findin ' me that I wen. plum asleep. When I woke up I saw two pair of feet hang- in ' , down. One was Glenn ' s and one was sis ' s. I lay there a long time and purty soon TALAHI Page thirty-four I sneezed. Well, course I can ' t tell what was happenin ' ' cause Glenn gave me a quarter and I promised not to tell. He ' s awful gener ' us you know. This here han ' some broot is Frank Jenkins — that is he thinks he ' s han ' some but maw says Han ' some is as han ' some does. Sis went out with him onc ' t. She had an awful case but maw says he stayed too long. Sed she couldn ' t imagine what they talked about out in front of the house and it being almost mid- night. But I don ' t know if they talked so much, do you ? Turn over. This here guy don ' t take no first prize for looks but he sure is one reg ' lar fella. You know him don ' t ' ou ? Why I thought every- body did. He ' s Edgy Hogle. And he ' s on the all-city team in football and oh, everything. And maybe you don ' t think the girls don ' t fall for him — oh, no ! Rut he didn ' t even look sidewise at her — naw, he should worry about girls — just like me. Turn over. Sis calls this her Don page. That ' s Don Smith up in the corner. Sis knows an awful lot about him but she won ' t tell me. Says little boys shouldn ' t know everything. I don ' t care — I think he ' s awful good-looking ' . Then that little short fat fella is Don Jones — cap- tain of the football team for next year. Gosh, I hope I ' ll be able to play as good as he does some day. He goes with a girl that lives wav out of town. I know ' cause Sis said he got home late as the dickens the night of the foot- oall men ' s sleigh ride ' cause he took her home. And that other guy is Don Burke. Say he ' s got the aw fullest case on a girl up to school. Ikey Keller, is her name. Gee she ' s cute He ' s got her dated up clear till the ]3elt spring picnic. And them there is a coupla teachers up to school. Never guess it would you? Miss Hazel Smith and Mr. Ed Godfrey and thev got one grand case. They went to ' the Harle- quin dance together.

And there ' s Tommy Aston and Billy Oien together. There a cute couple, ain ' t they? Him so dark and she so light-headed. That there guy is Wayne Bevis — golly he ' s funny.

Sis says she hand ' s out lots an ' lots of zeros, but she ' s a awful good teacher anyway. This is Stub Hatton. I don ' t know whether Stub is his real name or not, but that ' s what sis calls him.

But she wasn ' t married to Jack, Til betcha Jack was jealous, don ' t you? This here ' s Mr. Bradford, an ' he ' s another teacher. Sis says she don ' t see how he finds time to do all he does.

D ' you know, sis said she ' d rather go to a show with Rudy Valentino than see him there The one she calls her Rudy is Joe Valentine ; he isn ' t really a sheik — but he acts like it sometimes. How? Oh, nev ' mind, nev ' mind here comes sis. o — o ■ IN DARK GULCH Old Jim Tiller ' s family had run out of venison, and, as this was their main article of diet, a hunting party had to be organized im- mediately. The season did not open for four months, but the natives of the Umpqua valley, most of them backwoodsmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, never worried about the game laws. Young Jim, Old Jim ' s eldest son, was chosen to replenish the family larder. He immediately took down his rifle from the pegs above the door and started cleaning and oiling it. Guess I ' ll ask Jack Purdue to go with me, he announced when he had finished cleaning his gun. I ' ll go see him now. Jack agreed to go at once and the two pack- ed up a few cooking utensils and some bacon and coffee and started on their trip. Ye better try the old ' lick ' back of Shively peak, Old Jim ' advised them, There always were leer around there. They had intended to make their first camp at the base of Shively peak that evening and get an early start for the ' lick ' next morning, but made slower time than they had expected and had to make camp on a ridge some dis- tance from the peak. About midnight they were awakened by the sound of crackling twigs and, getting up they .secured their rifles and went out to investigate. Thev were greeted by a low growl. It ' s a bear, exclaimed Jack, Here ' s where we get some bear steak. The bear, however, became alarmed and shambled off down the ridge. The boys started in pursuit, guided by the crackling of the underbrush as the huge animal lumbered down the hill. When thev reached the bottom of the ravine the sounds of the bear ' s flight were no longer heard. What can have happened to the old brute, exclaimed Jack surprised at the sudden still- ness. He ' s got to be somewhere around, said Tim, Let ' s look. They hunted all over among the trees, but discovered no sign of the animal. They could not see the tracks as it was far too dark so they gave up the search in despair. We might as well go back to camp, de- cided Jack, starting up the side-hill. Where you going? Jim called. This is the side we came down. You ' re off, cried Jack, it was this side. It soon became evident to the boys that neither of them was certain which way led to the camp, so they decided to wait where they were until morning which was only a few hours off. They started a small fire and sat around it discussing their condition until the sun rose, lighting up the trees far up on the side-hill but leaving the gulch in semi-darkness. They then got up and stretched themselves and started up the side of the gulch. They did not know how far up or down the gulch they had gone in their search for the bear but TALAHI Pa( c thirt -s, thought that if they could get up where they could see around, they would be able to get their bearings. After an hour ' s walk they came out of a thick growth of firs and saw a short distance below them the floor of the ravine. Thev had evidently (k ' scril)ed a half circle and came out farther up the gulch. This made them uneasy. Jack decided to climb a tree and try to find out where they were. On either end of the ravine the mountains rose. The bo s were in a blind gulch and they recalled awful .stories of hunters and pros])ectors going about in cir- cles in vain efforts to get out and finally starving to death. They started off down the gulch again. Before them was a thick growth of saplings and underbrush and from thi.s issued a low growl. There ' s our bear, exclaimed Jack, I ' d like to see him between my sights. He got us into this. They started off on the run in the direction from which the growls seemed to come. Breaking through a thick growth of under- brush, they found themselves gazing into a dark cave from which more threatening growls were now issuing. They looked around and found a pine knot, and lighting this they ven- tured into the cave. Ahead of them the cave turned and froii around this turn the growls came with rv doubled violence. The boys advanced slow I with their guns trained on the corner. Tlu nose of the animal appeared around the corner and the boys sttipped. ' i ' he bear slowly ad- vanced until his head and shoulders Wen- around the corner. Both boys fired simisl taneously. At the same moment the be;i jumped, then went down in a heap. The h(r started out, but on looking back and seeing th;- the bear was dead they changed their plans. All thought of their predicament was for gotten and they were congratulating each other on their kill when they remembered where they were. Leaving the bear where it was they decided to make one more effort to find their way home. They were just leaving the cave when Jack gave an exclamation of delight. We ' re all right now, he cried, pointing at the ground Jim hurried over and looked. ' J ' here in tli soft earth was the print of the bear ' s fjet. They started off following the trail of ih. ' animal. They soon arrived at their old camp and easily made their way home where they were greeted with great joy, when they told of the bear they had in the cave. WHEN YOU MEET YOUR IDEAL Every girl has an ideal. Naturallv .she doesn ' t always find him, and when she does, he doesn ' t always come up to her expectations. Yet the fact remains that she does have an ideal. Of course, I have always had an ideal, but then I never really expected to find him. How- ever, there was never anything to prevent my dreaming about him, so I have often pictured our meeting. But in these meetings,! was always very tall and beautiful, and had dark hair and blue eyes. He, too, was very tall and handsome. But of course all this was merelv a dream and I had no idea that I would ever meet my real hero. So now you can easily see what a shock our real meeting was to me. I had been keep- ing hou.se for daddy that summer and I was m the midst of my Saturday cleaning when the doorbell rang. I hurried to the door and there stood my ideal. I knew him at once, for he was all that I harl pictured him and a great deal more. Never, in my wildest dreams had he been half so handsome. But there I stood, pitifully short and wide, with brown eyes, a dress which fit me several years too soon, and two miserable mouse-colored pigtails. I could have stood the dress and the brown e ' es, and even the fact that I was short and vvide, but those mi.serable, humiliating pigtails! That was too much ! And then came the worst blow of all. He calmly asked me what kind of a strive we used. Think of it! Such a question, and from mv very own ideal. Well, of course, I couldn ' t expect hiiri to recognize me with those awful pigtails, and I guess I wouldn ' t be expected to remember what kind of a stove we used when I was standing face to face with mv own ideal. At any rate, I didn ' t remember, and I told him so. There was nothing to do but go and find out, so I went out in the kitchen and found it was the same old Monarch that we had been using for 10 years. I told him about the Monarch and he went away, smiling at the little girl who didn ' t even know what kind of a stove her mamma used. l?y that time I was so embarrassed that I could see Monarchs and mouse-colored pig- tails dangling about in the very air. Of course, I ' ll never see him again and my life is probably ruined. At any rate, I ' ll never forgive the good fairies, who gave me brown eyes and mouse-colored pigtails..

This was the eleventh operetta to he given in North Central. This musical offering was presented under the direction of C. Olin Rice, musical director, and Miss Martha Buckman, dramatic coach. Miss Elsa I ' inkham, girls ' athletic director, coached the dancing. Miss (irace Baker de- serves credit for the assistance that she gave in the making of the co.stumes. The North Central orchestra under the direction of Mr. Rice did splendid work. The Hermit of Hawaii consisted of two acts. It is all about a mysterious hermit who supposedly lives in the inaccessible crater of an extinct volcano in the island. Prince Kanopoi the ruler of the island, persists in making laws that are very unpleasant for his subjects. The hermit proves to be no other than a young lieutenant from the United States navy. He fal ' s in love with the daughter of the prince and the prince eventually gives his daughter to him in marriage. Those who took the leads in the production were: Kanopoi, Prince of Hilo, Charles Whitten; Kilani, Daughter of the Prince, Marjorie Petersen ; Toto and Tata, attendants of Kilani, Louise Clausin and Myrna Harris; Napoopoo and Konobopo, Hawaiian nobles; Kearney Walton and Rollin Frank; () Yu, Mee Tu, Kahuna, the three wise men, William Harris, LeRoy Riddle and Gordon Cross; Lieutenant Paul C. Green of the IJ. S. Navy, Dwight Snyder; Bosun Bill, also of the U. S. Navy, Phil Roche ; Takapili, the oldest inhab- itant, John Carpenter; Mi Yi, a fisherman, Harold Vogel ; Lulu, Helen Brooks. The students in the chorus were: Bernice Brunt, Helen Brooks, Virginia Crofoot, Leone Fish, Christena Habura, Gladys Harding, Mary Hocking, V era Johnson, Kathleen Luecken, Burnace Marat, Esther McDonald, Alice Pike, Dorothy ' eniett, Estelle Williams, Mertle Curryer, Thelma Davis, Alice Elliott, Esther Garrett, Bessie McCullough, Mary Mc- Master, Garnett Oliver, Elizabeth Peflev, Wilamena Reaume, Josephine Smith, Minnie Wilde, Glenmar Witt, Clayton Flower, Jacob Cxoetz, George Jennings, Dale Kerr, Sam Mackoff, Roscoe Miller, James McGurk, Ellerv Newton, Alton Rinker, Richard Stejer, Elmer Anderberg, Frank Bracht, Everett Erickson, Alexander Bell, Elmer Hix, Leslie Lambirth, Harter Markwood, Henrj- Setters and Harry Underwood. BAND A uniformed band of 50 pieces is the proud achievement of L. C. Bradford, director of the North Central band. He, by hard practice, has rounded out a band that has seldom been sui-passed in the history of the school. Early in the season the band took charge of the News subscription campaign for which it was given $150. The Dads ' club helped out with $50 and the athletic board further boost- ed the fund with an additi(mal contribution of $1(X). A special program was presented by the band at a convocation, Nov. 23, from which $102 was realized, thus nearly paying for the suits which totaled $5(X1. The plans of the band are such that the suits should be entirely paid for before the end of the semes- ter. The suits consisted of 50 caps, 45 pairs of trousers and 40 coats. There were a few- coats left over from the old band suits which arc being used. The caps are cadet style, red trimmed in black. The coats are of the same color as the caps, while the trousers are of white duck. The band paraded in uniform in the ser- pentine parade staged just before the Thanks- giving game, and the next day appeared before the entire student body in the pep convoca- tions. The suits seemed to please the stu- dents. The band has been very active in convoca- tion work all semester. Before the games with Hillyard, Wenatchee and Gonzaga the band played in convocations, and introduced TALAHI Page thirty-eight two new football songs. It played at every liome contest except one. Furthermore it played at Armistice and good English con- vocations. A program was presented the old folks at the countj ' poor farm at Spangle with the as- sistance of several girls of the philanthropic committee of the Girls ' League. Taken all in all the band has had a very busy and suc- cessful season. CLASS PLAY The senior class play. Dulcy, that was presented in the auditorium, Dec. 15, was one of the best plays ever given in the North Cen- tral high school. The play was a clever comedy in three acts and was well received by an en- thusiastic audience. The play was under the direction of Miss Martha Buckman, the dra- matic coach. The plot develops around a young wife, Dulcy, who tries her hand at handling her husband ' s business affairs. Her husband has intended to form a merger in the artificial jewelry business. Dulcy has invited Mr. and Mrs. Forbes and their daughter to her home for a week end party. Mr. Forbes is a shrewd business man with whom Gordon Smith, Dulcy ' s husband, is going to form the merger. Dulcy has also invited Vincent Leach, a scenarist who is very much in love with An- gela Forbes and who persuades her to elope with him. However, Dulcy ' s brother, William Parker, aids them in their elopement and comes back married to Angela and minus Vincent Leach. Mr. Forbes, who has become disgusted with the Smiths, has decided not to do any business with Gordon Smith but he becomes suddenly elated and decides to give Gordon twenty-five per cent of the stock in the proposed merger instead of sixteen and two-thirds per cent as he intended to do and so the play ends happily for everyone. The characters in the play were : Dulcy, Winifred Ealy ; Gordon Smith, her hu.sband, Frank Jenkins; Mr. Forbes, Glenn Taylor; Mrs. Forbes, Thelma Parmenter; Angela Forbes, Martha Ahrens ; William Parker, Don Smith; Schuyler Van Dyck, Ross Osl)orn; Tom Sterrett, Ray Currie ; Vincent Iveach, Allen Sherer; Henry, Everett Erickson ; Blair Patterson, John Barnes. The business staff was as follows: Cecil Hatton, business manager; Frank Jenkins and Homer Manley, property men; Don Smith and Glenn Taylor, wardrobe masters ; the publi- city and advertising, Robert MacDonald; Phyllis Schalkle and Winifred Ealy, wardrobe mistresses. DANCING While dancing has not occupied as promin- ent a place in girls ' athletics during the past semester as have the other four activities ; what has been attempted has met with success, due to the work of Miss Elsa Pinkham, girls ' physical director. The dance Hawaiian Breezes was pre- sented between the acts of the operetta, The Hermit of Hawaii, by fourteen of Miss Pink- ham ' s pupils : Helen Carr, Muriel Carr, Grace Cowgill, LIna Decker, Madolyn Dever- eaux, Lillian Finlcy, Catherine Franzen, Naida Faulds, Georgianna Hardy, Inez Keller, Dor- othy Newton, Marie Nicodemus, Dorothy Pen- gelly and Meredith Schackelford. Pane llnrly-nine TALAHI (;ooi) ENGLISH WEEK Good English week was ushered into North Central with gail -colored, and cleverly-word- ed posters which were strung out in the halls. The posters were the same ones that were used last year, but were about as effective as they were when they were first displayed. In connection with, and as a climax of the drive for good Engli.sh, a play was presented in a double convocation. The name of the play was Ze Modern English. Kearney Walton took the part of Ralph Randers, a college graduate who was travelling abroad. In France he meets the Marquis De Trovelle, alias Mr. Salzmann, who wa s anxious to mas- ter the English language, and in sporty Ralph teaches him the modern slang. De Trovelle in turn leaches the beautiful English to his daughter Marie, who had captured Ralph ' s heart, (ilenmar Witt took the part of Marie. Difficulties arise when, returning to Ralph ' s home, the Marquis and his daughter are to be presented at an exclusive ball. The mother and sister are shocked by the language which they use. Ralph is afraid to confess his trick to the Marquis for fear of losing his friend- ship and also his fiancee, Marie, and yet some- thing has to be done if the Marquis is to at- tend the ball. Ralph ' s sister comes to the rescue, however, by telling De Trove ' lle that the English language has changed since he learned it, and persuades him and Marie to talk only I ' rench for that evening. Louise Clausin played the role of Evelyn, the sister of Ralph, and Joe Valentine as Tom Fenchurch was her suitor. The part of Evelyn ' s mother was taken by Lois B Ier. o — o RED CROSS DRIVE A convocation was held in which George H. Greenwood, who was in charge of the drive in the city, spoke on the work of the Junior Red Cross hospital to which the money is given. ' I ' he hospital gives medical and dental at- tention to school students, many of whom would have to go without on account of pov- erty if it were not for this institution. A be- quest of $10(),0(X) toward this hospital was made by the late John A. Finch. EARRINGS North Central this year paid $7.75 over its Red Cross quota of $495 in a record time of 14 school days, compared to its three months ' drive of last year. Miss Carrie Hitchcock was in charge of the work at North Central. Earrings, jeweled combs and heavy jewelry were banned in a resolution passed by the popular vote of the girls of North Central. The action was sudden and was probably caused by the unfavorable comment made up- on the ornaments, as well as the extremes to which some girls went in wearing them. There had been little said about them until earrings an inch or more in length, and bigger around than a half-dollar became the fad — each girl seemingly trying to outdo the other. The Girls ' League long ago adopted resolu- tions prohibiting expensive and unsuitable clothing. Jewelry and decorations were added to the list. FR::r HiE frolic The Delta club gave its semi-annual fresh- man frolic, Oct. 20, in the North Central gymnasium, entertaining about 150 boys with .speeches, music and athletics. Grand-master, Cecil Hatton, gave the open- ing speech, exhorting the freshmen to get ac- quainted with the upper classmen. His speech was followed by a word from A. H. Horrall, director of the club. Music for the occasion was furnished by an orchestra compo.sed of Byron McCoy, piano; Lyle Scott, saxophone and Clayton Flower, drums. Three fast boxing bouts were held between Don Jones and Isaac Deeter ; Harlan McKin- TALAHI Page 1 1 ,1 ney and Gordon Petty; and Rav Morrell of the vS. i . A. C. and Jack Lipscomb. On the program were also two drawn wrestHng matches which were staged between Joe Hove and Everett Henning; and Glen Brink and George Castle. The Delta trio was well received when it sang, Down in Arkansas. Kearney Walton entertained with two solos. After speeches by George Anderson, Virgil Franklin and Claude McGrath urging support in athletics, the customary treat of cider and doughnuts was served. o — o RED CROSS SEALS With a total of $449, Lewis and Clark took the cup away from North Central by selling the greatest number of Christmas seals. North Central ' s total was $352.60. Miss Jessie Gibson, director of the Girls ' League, and Dorothy Kippen, manager of the -sale, gave unstintedly of their time and effort to put our school on top. Each room representative was given 10 stamps for each student in the class, although many took as many as 50 or 1(X). Six rooms sold $10 worth of seals. These rooms are in, 120, 201, 208 and the print shop. Theme papers, tablets, books, pencils or most anv- Ihing were adorned with stamps by students zealous to help their school and the Red Cross. The drive was also a success in the grade schools, an incomplete report showing that $1812.18 had already been turned in. o — o DEBATLNG Three debate teams were chosen early in the semester by Lee A. Meyer, new debate coach at North Central. The teams which are known as the A, R, and C teams, have held several debates during the year. In the tryout held, Oct. 24. Mark Bradford, Edward Miller and Lawrance Mitchell proved themselves to be the best debaters in the school and were awarded places on the A team. Earl Broyles, John Helphrey and Marilvn Mead, all excellent debaters, made the B team. The C team was composed of Ray Currie, Janice McAvoy and Don Gary Smith. North Central did not join the debate league to which Lewis and Clark, Yakima, Wenat- chee, Walla Walla and Colville belong because the question for debate was not desirable. There will also be no scholastic debate with Lewis and Clark for the same reason. In 1920 the North Central debaters won the Michigan cup permanently by defeating the Lewis and Clark team, making it three defeats out of five. Each year a debate is .sponsored by Dr ' s. R. E. Ahl ' quist and T. M. Ahlqui.st for which $100 is given in prizes. ROOTER KING Glenn Taylor, a senior A, was elected to fill the office of rooter king which was made va- cant by the graduation of Walter Horn, for- mer rooter king. The race for the honor was between Taylor and Richard Marks, a .senior B, and editor in chief of the News. In the count Taylor re- ceived 1,112 votes to 654 for Marks. The latter automatically became rooter duke, whose duty is to assist the rooter king. The Rooters ' club held a preliminary pre- vious to the election in which Taylor and Marks were the only two to qualify. They both displayed their ability at convocations, and as a final test were required to lead the yells at the North Central-Wenatchee football game. Homer Manley, chairman of the elec- tion committee, was in charge. Taylor has been yell-leader of the present senior A class for two semesters, while Mark.s has as.sisted the senior B ' s. o — o SCHOLASTIC HONOR ROLL With an average of 96.24 for her three and one-half years of school work, Loeta Johns this year heads the .senior honor roll, her mark being tied second to the highest in the history of the school. Miss Elizabeth McClung re- ceived the same grade. Miss Margaret Be- ment with an average of 97.01 has the highe.st grade. Another feature is that there are more boys on the list than ever before. To be on the honor roll a student must not have failed in a subject during his high school career, and must have a final average of at least 90 per cent for his three and one-half years ' work. These averages may be changed slightly when the final quarter ' s grades are received. Some students may get on while some may drop off. Miss Phyllis Schalkle takes second place with an average of 95.36, closely followed bv Martha Matzner with 95.33. Elmer Hix is fourth with 94.26. All four averages are higher than the highest of the previous grad- uating class. The honor students are listed below in the order in which they rank : Loeta Johns, Phyl- lis Schalkle, Martha Matzner, Elmer Hix, Lewis Scriven, Victor Ander.son, Mary Mick- els, Evelyn Hell em, Mearle Krese, Edwin Adams, Ray Currie, Mabel Seeley, Norman Carver, Lydia Borgardts, Signe Peterson and Dorothy Peck. o — o RECEIPTS OF GAME The Thank.sgiving game was the most pro- fitable ever held to both high schools in the way of finance, according to J. O. Ecker, Pa e forty-one TALAHI faculty manager of athletics at North Central. A total of $5,168.14 was cleared, of which North Central received one half, or $2,584.07. The total expense of the game was only $337.- Much credit and thanks is given to the many organizations at North Central which helped to put the game across. The print shop. North Central News, band and art department are especially commended. The football managers, Don Burke and lack Urassington are praised for their good work. Tommy Aston, alone, sold $417.50 worth of tickets. Considering the number of calls for money about that time the feat seems the more won- derful. Just before the game the band drew a large attendance at its concert, nearly every- one bought buttons and the pep carnival drained many pockets. The admission prices for the game were slightly higher at the gate, this year. o — o DRIVE FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS Xorth Central students took in over $6(X) for disabled soldiers in the drive conducted on the downtown streets Armistice day, Nov. 11. Forget-me-nots were sold by those taking part in the drive. The total amount raised by all organizations was $3314. The girls representing the Girls ' League look in S367.87, the rest of the $6(X) came from other organizations. One feature of the drive was that eight boys from North Central under the captaincy of John Heily sold flow- ers. Other organizations participating in the drive were the Girl Reserves, Camp Fire girls and the Blue Triangle. Splendid spirit was shown by all the girls taking part in the drive, especially the North Central girls, according to Mrs. H. B. Gray- bill who was in charge of the drive. Many of the girls stayed home from the North Central -Coeur d ' Alene game to sell flowers. EDUCATIONAL WEEK .American Educational week, Dec. 3-9, was observed at North Central. The Spokane American legion boosted the movement which was for the purpose of securing the coopera- tion of the parents in the schools. Twf) convocations were held in which spe- cial speakers addressed the students. Pastors of local churches included the theme of edu- cation in their sermons. The movement was started two years ago, but it was not until last year, when the Ameri- can legion took charge of it, that it was a de- cided success. This year the Chamber of Commerce, the Spokane Ministerial associa- tion and the National Educational society cooperated with the American legion. From statistics given out by the Washington Educational Journal it is learned that one out of every four adults in the L ' nited States is illiterate. Washington ranks thi rd from the last in salaries paid to teachers of one room schools, and is seventh from the last in salaries in city schools. Thus the need of better education machinery is shown. o — o TRUE-FALSE TESTS A new form of examination has been tried out in North Central the last semester; namely, the true-false test. It has been tried else- where and it is said to have proven success- ful. The examination consists of a number of statements dealing with the subject matter of the study. Some of the statements are true, others false. The .student indicates which is which. It is argued by O. C. Pratt, superintendent of schools, that with this method of examina- tion the subject is broadened, is easier to pre- sent to the students, easier to score and may be prepared all during the semester. It can not be said for certain whethe r the plan has proven successful or not at North Central, but according to the complaints of some students it is not particularly popular. o — o PEP CARNIVAL The pep carnival this year was perhaps the largest ever heki in this school. It was held Wednesday, Nov. 29, the eve before the an- nual game with Lewis and Clark, and was primarily for the purpose of arousing pep for the game. Every available space was occupied by the 22 different concessions. The carnival was ready for the students at 2:45 and the crowd that jammed the lower halls did not diminish appreciably until 9:30 p. m., closing time. It is estimated that fully 3,0(K) students, parents and visitors were in the crowd. A total of $900 was taken in by all of the organizations. The gym and cafe perhaps contained the greater part of the concessions. The swim- ming tank, gym offices and several rooms con- tained individual organizations. Concessions in the gym and cafe were mainly stands sell- ing colors, eats or noise-makers. The principal attraction was the Masque vaudeville program. Byron McCoy entertain- ed by plac ing the piano and Lois Byler danced. Kenneth Willis and Jack Helphrey staged a comedy skit. A one-act play completed the program. Those in the play were Marianna Gray, Ever- TALAHI Page forty-two ett Erickson, Jack Grover, Maurice Balfour and George Castle. Three shows were pre- sented — one matinee, and two evening perfor- mances. Practically evervhod)- attended at least one of them. Another popular attraction was the Span- ish cabaret, where red hot chili burned the tongues of those eating it. The baby show with its 2(J) pound infant, its six-foot babies ; its black and white twins drew many. There were musical .shows, fortune tellers, hot dogs, and wild animal exhibits. The Aquatic club had charge of affairs in the swimming pool. The upper halls looked like a street lined with sign boards, as each club had one or more posters on the walls. The carnival was considered a great success both in rousing pep and in raising money. Homer Manley, manager of the carnival, was assisted by Georgia Marshall. o — o ■ BENEFIEL MEMORIAL In a solemn memorial assembly, the Renefiel memorial tablet was jjresented by Miss Jessie Oldt, chairman of the memorial committee, and was accepted by Principal I ' . G. Kennedy in behalf of the .school. Memorial speeches were made by Dorothy Robinson, president of the Girls ' League, and Mark I ' .radford, president of the Boys ' Fed- eration. John Shaw read resolutions of the North Central faculty. The memorial has been placed in the eas t wing of the basement, near the door of the cafeteria. The entire program was as follows : In- troductory remarks, K. G. Kennedy; Chorus Singing, opera class; Tribute to Dr. Benefiel, Dorothy Robinson and Mark Bradford ; Facul- ty Resolutions, John Shaw ; Presentation of ' Pablet, Mi.ss Jessie OUlt; Acceptance, F. (. ' ,. Kennedy; Clo.sing Address, Orville C. Pratt. o — o RIFLE TEAM The North Central Rifle club held their first annual handicap turkey shoot for the members of the club. The shoot was held on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. The three high men in the shoot were awarded prizes. The results of the meet with the handicap .score and prizes were as follows: Score Winner Prize 104 Ed Keats Turkey 99 Robt. L. Gurr Chicken 98 Leslie B. Graham Chicken Late in the semester the North Central rifle team met the North Central faculty team. The rifle team walked away with all the honors of the meet and piled up 334 points to 198 points for the faculty shots. The ritle team holds practice every Wednes- day after school. The team holds extra prac- ice sessions and is always in good shape for a match. GOING, GOING-GONE Wonder what a senior thinks about When he ' s going to graduate? ' S a funny thing, a senior says, When he matriculates. When the semester just begins, He ' s the lord of all creation. But he has that all-gone feelin ' When he thinks of graduation. Leave the old school? Leave North Central? Well, I .should hope to say not! But when he thinks of all he ' s leaving, It ' s a dark and bitter thought. When his school career is run. And his work at high school done, He has that funny, vacant feelin ' When he ' s going, going, gone ! Page forty- three TALAHI TALAHI Page fort VOX PUELLARUM Miss May C.

Bradford, Director SWIMMING TEAM ...Captain Richmond Frazicr Manager GIRLS ' LEAGUE Miss Jkssie Gibson, Director BOYS ' FEDERATION L. C. Rradford, Director The Girls ' League was organized in March 1918 by Miss Jessie Gihson. The purpose of the league is summarized as follows : 1. To provide a medium through which the group of girls, as a unit, may learn to work for the common good, either as leaders or intelligent fol- lowers. 2. To cryslalize the best opinion and highest standards of the girls of the school into definitely acknowledged standards for the league. 3. To provide an organization for the necessary girls ' activities. 4. Through the departments and committees, to give each girl an opportunity for the development of initiative, personal responsibility and originality. Every girl in North Central high school auto- matically becomes a member of the league by her enrollment in school. The officers arc president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. They arc chosen by the girls in election conducted according to civic procedure at the end of each semester. The central council, the executive body of the league, meets every two weeks. It is composed of the four general officers, the four girl leaders of each department, class room representatives, the fac- ulty adviser of each department and the girls ' ad- viser. The council conducts elections, cares for all funds, prepares business for general meetings for all girls, manages the dress regulations adopted by the girls, promotes high standards of scholarship and conducts and supervises the league honor roll. .At the end of each semester, the names of all girls in school who have fulfilled the requirements arc placed on the honor roll. The requirements are; (1) Work in the league; (2) attendance at meet- ings; (3) at least C in all studies; (4) high ideals expressed in conduct, as courtesy, honesty, unself- ishness, deaniness, physical fitness, personality, ob- servation of dress regulations. Those whose names have appeared on the honor roll two, four and six times receive bronze, silver or gold pins in the form of the league emblem. The league is divided into four departments : the social service, entertainment, personal efficiency and vocational. Each department is organized with a girl director, a secretary and a faculty adviser. The social service service department carries on the service work of the school such as, the Thanks- giving and Christmas drives and the general work for the children ' s home. Committees take charge of scholastic work for the students who are weak in their subjects, send flowers to those who are ill, arrange for the seating for the girls in convo- cation and give a tea for all the new girls that enter school. Rig Sisters are also given lo all the freshmen girls when they enter school. The entertainment department gives parties for the girls of the school and sends programs to the chil- dren ' s home, Edgecliff sanitarium and the juvenile detention home. Every semester this department gives a tea to the mothers of both the senior .A girls and boys an lo the senior A girls. The vocational department gives programs for the eighth grade students, brings women speakers on vocational talks for .girls and keeps girls in the vocational director ' s office every period of the day. The personal efficiency department takes charge of all the hikes that are given for the girls and also provides a girl for each period of the day to have charge of the girls ' rest room. All girls ' athletics are in charge of this department. The Boys ' Federation was organized in November 1918, primarily for the purpose of permitting the boys of the school to meet the obligations of the nation in the time of war. During the war, the fed- eration took part in such drives as, Red Cross, Y M. C. special relief and thrift. At the con- clusion of the war, the federation was reorganized lo meet peace requirements. For the past semester, the school .service depart- ment under John Heily has served the school through the fire squad, traffic squad, Rooters ' club; and the tickets, usher, locker and news folding committees. The community service department under Roscot Hcrndon has cooperated with city enterprises and the Girls ' League in philanthropy by giving pro- grams at the children ' s home, Samaritan home and the parental home. The personal service department has tried to meet the needs of the students. It centralizes its work through the fellowship committee, which collects in- formation if the boys in need, either because of trouble with authorities, or studies. It attempts lo meet their needs through the relief and scholarship committees. The personal service department has reached over 250 boys this semester. It has sponser- ed the third annual grammar school Declamation contest of which nine representatives of grade schools competed for prizes for dramatic and humer- ous selections. An audience of 700 people wer. present. The following officers were elected for the pa.M semester: president, Mark Bradford; vice president, Cecil Hatton; clerk, John Helphrey. financial sec- retary, Homer F. Manley; treasurer, Ingwald Hennel)erg. , RIFLE CLUB The Rifle club under the direction of Mr. M. C. Smith has as its aim ihe promotion of the proper use of firearms and the knowledge of shooting among the boys of North Central. .Xnv bov who is a student of North Central is elligible for member- ship. To gain entrance to the club ' s membership a boy must rank as one of the fifteen making lh( highest scores in an official Rifle club tryoiii Practice is held each week and the club teams com- pcle with teams of other schools. c — o TO-RA-RIO RESERVES The To-ra-rio Reserves is a new organization in the school as it was organized this semester. It i-- a girl reserve organization which takes its members from ihe lower classes of the school. STUDENT CONDUCT BOARD Miss Jessii- Gibson and L. C. BRAnFORP. Directors The Student Conduct board is a new body organ- ized to create better cooperation between the stu- lems and the faculty of North Central. It was organized by the .Associated Students councils under the direction of Miss Jessie Gibson and L. C. Brad- ford in the spring semester of 1922. The first members were appointed during this last sernester. Lawrance Mitchell was chosen to act as president; Winifred Ealy, secretary; Irma Jean (Continued on page 70) TALAHI Page fifty -eight FOOTBALL The red ami l)lack football aggregation started the season with a flash of playing that made all rival teams sit up and take notice. The first game and victory for North Cen- tral was hung up when the Hillyard eleven made an unsuccessful attempt to wrest the city championship from the two local conten- ders. At the hands of the North Central boys, Hillyard took a 21-0 defeat which was the first one she has suffered for two years. As it was the first game of the season our grid representatives were a little rusty and on more than one occasion the interference inter- fered with our own speedy backfield. The red and black was best on offense and made steady gains through the Hillyard line. Don Jones, captain-elect for the 1923 season had the honor of scoring the first touchdown for the red and black. Becau.se of ineligibility of seven of the North Central players, Hillyard claimed the game should be forfieted to them, hut as it was understood that Hillyard also had players who were ineligible the game may be called no game rather than a forfiet. Almost perfect interference, superhuman end runs and devasting line charges featured North Central ' s second gridiron contest of the season, when the red and black warriors piled up a 43-6 score against the Wenatchee apple pickers. The purple and yellow warriors fought hard, but were unequal to the speed and pis- ton-like charges of Coach Canup ' s prodigies. Wenatchee ' s team was practically equal in weight to the red and black string, although the North Central backfield had the .slight advantage of less than five pounds. Don Bullet Jones was easily the hero of the fray, with four touchdowns to his credit. Isaac Deeter, red and black fullback took the pigskin over for three touchdowns with his famous dive through the line. North Central ' s pair of backs made con- .sistent yardage. When McGrath wasn ' t rac- ing around right end, Jones was tearing through left end for gains. Outplayed, but not outfought, and crippled by a loss of eight players, who were ineligible for the game, the North Central football team accepted a 15-0 defeat at the hands of the Wa-hi machine at Walla Walla in the third game of the season. The team was accompanied by Captain Stub Hatton, who though unable to play made the trip. The team did well considering their handicap. North Central ' s play was brilliant at times and at others the team played as if it had never seen a gridiron before. There were times that the play would have done credit lo the regular first team and again it would be extremelv mediocre. The red and black boys, most of them play- ing their initial first team game, suffered a great deal from stage fright in the opening quarters. On the whole the entire team play- ed well . Coming up from behind with the score 10-6 for Yakima at the beginning of the second period. Coach Canup ' s prodigies evened up the score, nosed the Yakima boys out by two points and seized a third north side victory in the fourth game of the season. North Central ' s scoring was done by Mc- Grath and Deeter. Both boys went over for touchdowns in the first half. Soon after play started, Jim Dixon, Yakima ' s mighty fullback was sent over for the first and last touchdown for Yakima. All scoring was done in the first half. The two final periods were cut short be- cause of the impending darkness. As it was, the entire last quarter was played by the light of an Indian summer moon. Yakima opened the game with dazzling s[)eed that nearly swept the red and black men off their feet. North Central soon got used to Yakima ' s speed and after that it was a battle of giants. The gun ended the fun ; the pla crs groped from the field and a 12-10 victory for the north side was chalked upon the score board- Weight and speed on the part of Coach Canup ' s .string of red and black warriors won an Armistice day victory for North Central when she walked over the Coeur d ' Alene ag- gregation to the tune of 53-7. North Central outweighed her opponents by about 20 pounds, but the last half was played Pacfe fifty-nine TALAHI w ith second string men almost entirely. Fulll)ack Deeter and Captain Cecil Hatton were both out of the j ame because of injuries. Gildersleve, who played fullback for Deeter was easily star of the game, making four of North Central ' s touchdowns. Honors were shared by Nf)rth Central ' s halfbacks, Jones and iMcCrath who each went over for two. Ry going over for the winning touchdown in the darkness North Central succeeded in killing Gonzaga ' s chances of obtaining the city championship. Snow and sleet failed to dishearten the North Central supporters and they were justly rewarded in braving the weather as the red and black piled up fourteen points against nine for the Gonzaga Pups. The last and the game that wss most looked forward to, was that with our ancient conten- der for the city championship, Lewis and Clark. With a true North Central spirit the red and black boys brought home the pigskin, bearing upon its tawney sides the follow ing inscription: 1922 Championship, North Cen- tral 12 — Lewis and Clark 9. While the band played Red and HIack, Referee Woodward ' s whistle sounded and the two rival captains walked to the middle of the field, shook hands and wished each other a happy Thanksgiving. The teams lined up amid the cheers of worshiping thousands. Captain Pearson won the toss and chose to kick. Captain Hatton chose to defend the north goal. Whiteley kicked off ten yards on side to Brown who returned the ball ten yards. Lewis and Clark held the red and black to four yards in three downs. On the fourth down Jones punted 35 yards out of bounds. As neither team was able to make gains tlu-ough the line they resorted to punting. Be- fore the period ended Brown, plucky north side center, suffered a dislocated shoulder, with which he played until the last cjuarter. When the quarter ended, the ball was, on the Elsie ' s two yard line. Two runs of over twenty ards each by Jones helped greatly to gain this point of advantage. On the second down of the second period Jones smashed over for the first touchdown. McGrath failed at the try for point and North Central had a lead of six points. Whiteley kicked off 45 yards to McGrath who returned to the 40 yanl line. North Cen- tral fumbled, but Lewis and Clark didn ' t keep the ball long, being forced to give it to the red and black on downs. North Central failed to gain and Jones punted. Kienholz, Lewis and Clark fullback, fumbled and Brown re- covered. North Central made consistant gains and advanced the ball to within one foot of the orange and black goal. Gildersleeve was sent over for the winning touchdown. McGrath ' s try again shied, and the score stood 12-0 for North Central. Whiteley kicked off 55 yards to Jones who returned the ball to the 30 yard line. North Central ' s possession on the 40 vard line. All during the second quarter a fine snow fell that failed to dampen the .spirits of the spec- tators. The third quarter was .scoreless, but full of thrills. At this stage of the game Lewis and Clark opened up a fierce aerial attack in an attempt to even things up a little. Jones brf ught 10,(XX) fans to their feet when he in- tercepted a pass and skirted the field for a 70 yard dash. The only pass that the red and black attempted hit the floor behind the Tiger goal line, thereby losing a touchdown. The ball was then given to Lewis and Clark on the twenty yard line. Deeter went in for Gilder- sleeve and the period ended after Whitelev had punted 35 yards to North Central. Luck at the receiving end of a punt raced 80 yard.s and crossed the goal line, but it was to the sorrow of the Lewis and Clark rooters and to the joy of the North Central supporters when the ball was brought back, on the grounds that he had run out of bounds. Whitely punted over the North Central goal line and the ball was given to the Red and Black on their own 20 yard line. North Cen- tral fumbled and it was Lewis and Clark ' s ball to the five yard line and Pearson was sent over for the only touchdown for the orange and black and the score stood 12-7 for North Cen- tral. North Central kicked off and finally re- covered the ])all on her own five yard line. Jones did the only thing that could be done and that was to fall on the ball behind his own goal line and give Lewis and Clark two points, but earning the privelige to take the ball out on the 30 yard line rather than risk a co.stly fumble. ' hitely, in an effort to tie the game attempted a drop kick from the 40 yard line. Ten thousand fans held their breath. ' The ball rose, missed the goal posts by a scant few in- ches and another Tiger hope went glinmiering. The final gun soon spoke, carrying with it a 12-9 victory for North Central . t a meeting of his team mates Don Jones, city all-star halfback was chosen to pilot the reil and black squadron through the 1923 sea- son. The players who received honor emblems were: Captain Cecil Hatton, Charles Brown, Loren Haynes, Don Axtell, Ed Lowery, Leslie iMaybee, Tom Laird, Forrest Curry, Edgerton Hogle, Captain-elect Don Jones, Claude Mc- Grath, Isaac Deeter, Marsh Smith, Ted Roh- wer, Delbert Gildersleeve and Vic Turner. TALAH T Page sixi CROSS COUNTRY Fighting his way from gun to the tape over a mile and a half course, Captain George Anderson led his team to victory in the sixth annual cross country run against Lewis and Clark. Second place was holly contested between Captain John Divine of the orange and black herd and ex-Captain Virgil Franklin of the North Central pack. Divine caj-.ured second as Franklin allowed him to get too much of a lead, and in spite of a quarter mile sprint, Franklin could not overtake the plucky south side captain. North Central took first, third, fourth, seventh and eighth places, netting 23 points to 33 for the rivals from across the river. This victory was the first one since 1919 for the north side, in cress country. When the runners appeared, the North Central band struck up Red and Black. At the sound of the school ' s battle song,. Ander- son, who was leading the field increase l his sprint, flew down the remaining 1(X) yards, tore down the tape and plunged into Principal F. G. Kennedy ' s arms. The block N. C. was awarded to the follow- ing North Central boys : Captain George Anderson, ex-Captain Virgil Franklin, Spen- cer DelvOng, captain-elect Murray Hamley, Howard Garrison and Waldo Harris. o — o TENNIS ' I ' he tennis season started with an elimina- tion singles tournament, the winner to receive a racket. Carney and Calhoun fought it out in the finals, Calhoun winning two of three sets. This tournament also led the choice of the following members of the squad : Carney, Hock, Calhoun, Shinkle, Shafer, Foy, and Mc- Culloch. The match with Whitworth resulted in a victory for North Central in five singles and two doubles. Against Spokane college our team lost one match out of seven ; all matches being closely contested. The trip to Pullman was not so successful from the standpoint of victories but it gave valuable experience to the members of the team that were looking for- ward to the Lewis and Clark meet. Against Lewis and Clark Carney, P)Ock, Shafer,  Shink1e and Foy played the singles, with Hock, and Foy, Carney and McCulloch paired in the doubles. Shafer wim his singles match and P)Ock and Foy their doubles, but the other matches went to the more experienced S. A. A. C. players of whom the Lewis and Clark team was to a great extent composed. The athletic board awarded letters to Shaf- er, Bock and Foy ; according to the rule which requires a victory in the Lewis and Clark meet to Carney a letter and captain ' s star for his victories in all meets except the Lewis and Clark including the W. S. C. second team, and to McCulloch for three years of consistent efT- (-rt and his particularly excellent showing in tiie J . C. meet. Throughout the spring and fall a ranking tournament within the school was carried on with an average of 25 boys participating. An elimination tournament in the fall was won bv Russell Hock, captian-elect. Next year with two letter men and promising comers, the prospects are good for a successful season. o — o SWLMMING In the seventh semi-annual swimming meet with the orange and black the North Central swimming team piled up 42 points tt) 26 ff)r Lewis and Clark. ' I ' he red and black men were in excellent condition and when the meet ended the North Central tankmen had five first places and the relay chalked up to their credit. The dark horse and star of the meet was Arnold Abheal, who tied with Ernest Smith for individual honors at 9 1-4 points each. Smith was also an eye-opener when he car- ried off the honors in the 50-yard free style to the tune of 28 4-5 seconds. The fifty was hotly contested between Ab- beal and Smith for first place. Smith, North Central sprint swimmer, had the edge and got away with first place. In the 10()-yard free style Abbeal turned the tables on Smith and not only won the race, but he clipped two se- conds off the school record bv making it in 1 :()4. Harold V ' ogel, North Central contender in the back stroke, was the only North Central entry to place in the event. Vogel led the field from the start and held the lead through- out the l(K) yards, making it in one minute 21 1- 5 seconds. Hyron Hughes was the only Lewis and Clark swimmer to take a first place in the races. In the breast stroke he beat Fred Mit- chell, red anfl black representative, to the fin- ish by a narrow margin. Captain William Becker placed third in the brea.st .stroke. The time for the breast stroke was one minute 23 2- 5 seconds. Earl Litsey, North Central merman, added another five points to the red and black score by taking first place in the 22()-yard free st_ le. Captain Bill ]?ecker brought up the rear in this event netting six points for the red and black aquatic stars. The best that the red and black could get away with in the diving events was a third place taken by Norval Rader.

Greatest interest is centered in the two inter- school events — tennis and swimming. The mermaids compete in the spring, and the battle of the racketeers comes in the fall. But inter- class competition and those forms of athletics which do not oflfer competition always attract great intere.st, as more girls may take part. Hiking is open to all girls in the school, ba.sket ball appeals to many and dancing receives its quota. A number of girls who have taken an active part in athletics are in the January grad- uating class. tennis The big event of the semester for Xorth Central girl athletes was the annual tennis tournament with Lewis and Clark. The meet took place on the S. A. A. C. courts, on Oct. 14. Weeks of practice had resulted in thi.- turn- ing out of an excei)tional team by Miss Elsa rinkham, coach, and Eleanor Hyslop, cajitain. Hilt the north siders lacked one match in win- ning the meet, and Lewis and Clark retains the title for another year. The three matches won by North Central were the singles b - Helen Huneke and Elea- nor Hyslop, and the doubles, in which the same two were partners. Incidentally, every girl on the team was a senior. Janice McAvoy is a member of this class, while the others are in the class of June, 1923. l. ' pon recommendation of the coach, all received letters. Members of the teimis team were : Eleanor Hvslop, Helen Huneke, Stella Powell, Edith Leaf, Dorothy (ktts and Janice McAvoy. A ranking tournament for girls not on the team was started last fall and will be contin- uetl in the spring. Entrants were principally underclassmen, who should make good mater- ial for future tennis teams. C.UUS ' SWIMMING Although no swimming events have been held this semester. Miss Elsn Pinkham ' s swim- ming girls have been practicing regularly for the spring meet with Lewis and Clark, to take place the last Friday in April. Captain Marjorie Campbell and Manager j eone Fish have a promising squad with which to work. Six girls now in school are posses- sors r f letters won in swinuning. They are, .Marjorie Campbell, Irma Jean Waters, Elea- nor Hove, Holly Shanks, Rosella Scholer and Elta Waters. (Others who are turning out regularly for • wimming practice include Lillian Hughes, Carrie Ha nes, Dorothy Knight, Irene Siuith, Majil I ' i.sh, Alice Tuttle, Eleanor Hyslop, Dorothy Getts, Dolores Markham and P.ernice Green.

L ' nder each commissioner are deputies. The deputies put into execution, the rules of the board under the supervision of their respec- tive commissioner. The board has jurisdiction during school hours over the halls, library, lockers and convocations. If a student disobeys a rule a deputy hands him a card which he must sign. All offenders except those in halls and locker rooms need not appear be- fore the board unless they wish to plead their cases at the regtdar meeting, Monday morning at eight o ' clock in room 1 16. Library commissioner has charge of appointing students to act in the library during school hours ; the traffic commissioner has charge of student de- puties in the halls and lockers. The duty of the convocation commissioner is to arrange the seating and have charge of conduct in convocation. The board has been very successful in its work during the first semester. Many cases have been brought up and have been successfully disposed of. The board ' s success has been largely due to the splendid cooperation of the student body and the teachers. THE ASSOCL-KTED STUDENT COUNCILS The Associated Student councils was organized in March, 1922, being composed of the executive coun- cils of the (iirls ' League and the Boys ' Federation, for the purpose of working out together the prob- lems which directly concern all the students of the school. The larg est and most successful enterprise that has ever been put over by the Associated councils was the pep carnival at the high school on Nov. 29, the day before the Thanksgiving game with Lewis and Clark. Altogether $881.65 was taken in by booths and at- traction. This year the carnival consisted of 22 concessions. Homer Manley was the manager of the carnival. The following students hold office in the councils: President John Helphrev Secretary Thelma Pa rmenter o — o GIRLS Funny thing.s, is girls With all tlieir funny trimmin ' An ' that sassy look o ' women An ' their curls.

The chief business house was a large bank, of which Roscoe Herndon was president. Other offices held by members of the class were: private sec- retary to the president, Naida Faulds ; cashier, Henry Setters ; last but not least, Cecil Hatton, (lid good work as head window-washer. He drew a good salary and was well pleased with his work. Occupying an office in the bank building was a well-known detective agency, of which John P.arnes was the head. The principal sleuths were Kenneth Edwards, of the lost dog department ; Louis Cooper, of the lost newspaper department and Mearle Frese, who officiated in the recovery of lost hairpins. Near the bank Holland Curry and Ray Currie had a good business selling curry combs for old horses. The combs were guaranteed not to pul! out too much hair from the old horses, and were very good sellers. Across the street Lewis Edward Scriyen sold oil stock. His three agents were I ' irie MacCulloch, Victor Anderson and Robert Lower.

After I left this pleasant place I met a famous artist. I was amazed to find out that it was another old school mate. It was Elmer Hix. He was sitting before his easel, on which was a picture of a landscape. (T thought at first that it was some kind of an animal.) He told me that Olenn Koll went into business with Esther ( Ison and Minnie Wilde. They built their store in the middle of the .Sahara desert. He said that they made most of their money selling galoshes and rain coats to the Arabs. He also said that the romance of Everett Erickson, Dorothy Newton, Martha Matzner, Esther Ahlf and Dorothy Peck hap- pily terminatetl when Everett joined hands w-ith Dorothy Newton. The others were not sad, however, for they all agreed that Everett made a wise choice and led a happy life. Ed- ward Miller seemed to have reformed to such an extent that he was qualified to ])erform the marriage ceremony, which act he diil faith- fully. I next met Allan Mac Donald and his brother, Bob. They were professional tramps and beggars. They didn ' t, however, beg any- thing of me except news about our old friends. They knew of the fates of Jacob Goetz, Jean Logan, Dorothy Robinson, Martha Ahrens and Nina Engert. Jacob Goetz was chief seam- stress in an apron factory. Jean Logan and Nina Engert were working with him. Doro- thy Robinson and Martha Ahrens were in a crumby business. In other words they were scattering crumbs for the birds. Ho Hum ! Well it was a good dream any- wa ' . Perhaps it wasn ' t a dream after all. I do believe it was a real view into the future. I never wore a dinner coat. Or anything that looked half-formal But every other soul I ' d note Was dressed in tweeds or serges normal ; I never went to an affair In striped tie and suit of gray, l ut every person who was there Fooled me, and dressed the other way. — Contributed o- o He: May I kiss you on the forehead?

We leave the better half (?) of the Smith brothers to North Central with a fond wish that it will take good care of the dear little thing. To any girl who wants them, Glenmar leaves her three shieks— Kearney, Tubby and Don. With all due ceremony, the graduating class wills the eternal two, Dwight Snyder and Louise Clausin, to the North Central high school with a framed motto, God Bless Our Happy Home to be hung in the main hallway. We were going to leave Mr. Collins a new Ford sedan, but he gave one of our best friends an F, so we sold the bloomin ' thing. We leave the many responsible positions held by Georgia Marshall to Elta Waters. To the most honorable Mr. Horrall, we leave Mark Bradford ' s political abilitv, hoping that our vice principal may get into Congress within the next few decades. We decided to give the freshmen class, Dea Davis ' ability and her knowledge of etiquette, hoping that there will be a decided difference in its conduct in the halls of the school. The Aston family ' s, Don Burke ' s and Bill Tousey ' .s wonderful gift of gab, we leave to some of the coming senior A ' s in the hope that the latter will tr - to have something said in class meetings. To our most wonderful .school we bequeath our greatness and all of our assumed great- ness. To the trophy case we leave all of the honors, prizes, etc. that Jack Helphrev has won during his sojourn at high school. ' Bv leaving; Helen Huneke ' s ability to make credits to Claude McGrath we trust that he will graduate within the next four or five years. We are mighty sorrv thai we are taking North Central ' s li ' l pet angel, Phil Roche with us. We can ' t imagine what the halls will be like without his modest, blushing and beaming countenance. The two foundations. Bill Tousey and Byron McCoy requested the concrete be turned over to ' Bill Oien. (Ssh, secret. Bill declares she ' s been the foundation for the last semester, but she let the little dears imagine they were.) To Whitehead ' s dancing palace we leave Miss Wyman, as she seems to like that place. Along with our many gifts we wish to leave the bashfulness and quietness of Dorothy Steen to Catherine Robinson. All of our just debts we wi.sh could be left to our creditors. To the library we leave an enlarged photo of Lawrance Mitchell to be placed above the entrance, so that when the freshmen pass in and out they will be inspired by his high ideals, etc. In leaving Dick Marks ' jewi,sh lingo to Coop Curry we hope that he will put it into practice. We leave King Tut (Babe Poole) to his devoted wife (Marion Leslie) hoping that Marion will always be the boss and that they will be as popular in the next 3000 years as they have been in the last 3000 years. We leave Josephine Ulley ' s sweet disposi- tion and quiet nature to any senior A who thinks .she is good enough to fill Joe ' s place in the school. To Jack Brassington, Inky Henneberg leaves his little poem and motto : My mother taught me not to smoke Nor listen to a dirty joke I don ' t. To swear and dance, I don ' t. I ' ve never kissed a girl — not one I do not know how it is done You wouldn ' t think I have much fun, I don ' t. Of course the class has to leave some few to graduate at some future time. This time it happens to be Marsh Smith and Byron McCoy. We hope they find it convenient to graduate in the next class. To be very brief (as Mr. Bradford says) llie class is leaving an awful hole. And now we leave this will and testament for your approval or disapproval. We also wish the next will committee as much trouble as we have had. We are gone, but the grad- uating classes go on forever. D. BYRON McCOY MARY McMASTER Page ihirty-five T ALA HI PAGEANT OF THE CLASS OF JUNE 1923 I ' O REWORD This pageant has been written primarily for the class day program which this class of June 1923 will present at convocation some- time previous to its graduation from old North Central. As a secondary reason, this article is in- tended to take the place of the class history and prophecy. We realize that we are perhaps inviting the displeasure of the gods in breaking with such ruthlessness the time-honored and weather-beaten custom. However, we feel in a measure justified, in, that in act one we have embodied enough facts of our early history as freshmen and in act two enough late happen- ings to take the place of the discarded chroni- cle. In act three we have attempted to depict a hereafter quite as preposterous as any Alex- ander (the man who knows) could make. Proceed. OUR LITTLE STORY List of characters — Miss Bridlehorn — Teacher and class dir- ector. II ' i i Bright — Newly elected president of class. (Note: our class, being a prodigy, was organized in the spring of 1920.) Teller — The fellow who counts some of the ballots twice. All— A group of the dumber classmates, about thirty in number, dressed as frosh, which they are. Hair ribbons, short skirts, all (lav suckers and vacant looks for the girls ; short trousers, dainty yellow, orange, purple and green and other harmonizing shirts and ties for the boys, who also have vacant looks. Scene— l i. C. H. S. A large room on the second floor, containing desks carefully placed in rows in order to allow the teacher to go up and down between them when she is suspect- ing some one of copying or when she is trying to stop an eraser fight. Time — The melancholv davs of the year of Mr. Collins ' Ford. 1919. ACT I. The curtain rises with the stage occupied by a group of half-grown kids going through the motions of holding their first class meeting. The tellers are seen counting the ballots. A look of unutterable weariness .spreads oyer their youthful countenances when they fmd that again there has been more votes cast than there are people present. Teller : Miss Bridlehorn, there are 78 votes here, and there are only supposed to be 50. Miss Bridlehorn : Children, I want you to leave vour grade school habits alone. You are in high school now and this is the fifth time the votes have been found to be wrong. Who ever has received the greatest number of votes this time will be considered president. I haven ' t the time to monkey around here any longer. Willie Bright, you can take the chair. Willie (doubtfully): Gosh, we don ' t need it. We ' ve got lots of furniture home. Miss Bridlehorn: No, no— not that! Act as chairman! All: Speech, speech. Willie blu,shes and hangs back, but all are insistent. Willie (Stumbles over waste basket as he comes forward) : ' Wanna thank the principal and the athletic board for ' lecting me to this of fus. I ' preciate it very much and will do all I can to keep the grounds clean. (Whistling and stamping of feet). We got a program today. (Boy in back of room has been trymg to get the president ' s range with a bean shooter. He succeeds, and starts to cut an- other notch in his trusty arm. Not his real arm, however) . T don ' t like this job. It ' s too near the firing line. Well, anv wav we are pleased to hear a reading bv Miss Brace N. Bitt. It is very true to life. ' I have heard her give it before. The title is Daughters ' Saturday Night, by Robert Burns. (Five minutes of agony elapse.) Now f ' r the next thing on the list we— (At this stage of the game some playful fellow looses a mouse. However, the girls scream so loud that it scares the mouse to death and the president is allowed to continue.) The next is a number on the piano by Etta Ket, (Cour- tesy of the N. C. News— the same, not the music, for Dardenella was old before the News was started.) Miss Bridlehorn: Now, boys and girls, I want to ask you all about your courses. How manv are taking the classical course? (All but five ' arise.) That is very good. What course are the rest of you taking? Answer of general course. Oi course vou all know the great importance T A LA HI Page thirty-six of daily study in high school. (Bored looks. 1 ' hey are fed up on this before they ever reach high school.) The start that you make here is, you might, say, almost the deciding factor of your life! (iet into the life of the school at the outset, etc., etc. (They are all asleep by the time she finishes. She wakes them up, and they all sing Red and Black, with a great many blue notes.) That is good but I believe we can do better. The meeting is adjourned. (Heaves big sigh of relief.) Curtain ACT n. Scene — Senior banquet. rime— Mid-semester 1923. Curtain rises, showing an interior setting. Tables around the back of the room spread for a banquet. Couples sitting at the tables with orchestra playing. Yell leader leads class in yells in between times. Characters— Fresidant — A shiek in a dress suit, probably his father ' s, for it fits him like a wash tub on a gnat ' s dome. Yell leader — Funny looking bird — guess who ? Speaker — Anybody who can talk at length without saying too much. Dancers — Like our fairy queens of the Hi- Jinx. All — A bunch of smart looking boys and girls bearing no resemblance to those in Act L although they are the same ones. After timidly waiting for a long time they start in stowing away sustenance. When they have finished, and the two divisions of seniors have quit throwing compliments to each other via their respective presidents, some one pulls that stale one, which, however, is always ap- propriate at a banquet, about purloining the silver. When the senior A president rises to say something a knife and fork fall from his pocket, as is customary at senior banquets. The speaker is introduced. Speaker: It gives me great pleasure to talk before such an intelligent looking aggregation of pupils. Year after year, I have watched classes go out from your school, but never before have I seen a class to equal this one. (Tolerant grins. The seniors are used to this.) Very soon you will be going out on the sea of life, where you will sink or swim by your own hand. I hope it is not too much to hope that you all will remain honest in this test, for soon you will be like a ship without a chauffer. Some great man said that life may be liken- ed to two rows of chairs that are continually being vacated and filled. At the end of one row is the presidential chair, and at the end of the other ig the electric chair. Which is yours? (Ver) ' little applause.) How many are graduating from the classical course? (Five raise hands.) Now, how many are graduating from the general course? (All the rest raise hands.) Good! I am glad to see that you are no exception to the general rule. (Sits down.) President: It ' s too bad you people didn ' t like the talk you just heard, but there ' s no excuse for showing it so plainly. You ought to pretend that you like it, anyway, but then I suppose you don ' t know any better. ( Sighs. ) Lizzie Lightfoot will now give us a little song and dance. (Lizzie does so and receives much applause. Other numbers are announced and presented. All are well received. Meanwhile the class squirm with apprehension. Will they be allowed to dance?) President: Just four years have elapsed smce we first toddled down the halls of the old school. Many of us have dropped out, but we should be grateful that a few of us are left. Let us all sing ' Red and Black. ' (They rise. All sing the words.) I ' m glad you have learned your school song. Remember when we were freshies, and Miss Bridlehorn entreated us to learn our school anthems ? I ' m glad to see that you have followed her advice. (Applause and orchestra starts fox trot for dance.) Curtain ACT III Timc l9SZ, thirty years hence. Place — Mars. Characters Father Time— S me old stuff— long white beard grown by several applications of Tana- iac. Black robe and scythe. Mother Nature— Robust with grey hair. ou know — the same person who ages Velvet tobacco. Rich . l a — Very portly. Waxed moustache. Silk hat and sparrow-tail coat. Checkered spats, vest, trousers, shoes and stockings. Also a shirt. All the rest — Anybody handy who is willing to come on the stage and keep quiet. Come out and test your will power. Stage is dark — Spotlight on stage reveals honorable father climbing down a hanging ladder from the skies. A blue cardboard moon and Edison ' s electric .stars .serve as illumination. Father Time: So this is Paris ? I don ' t get here very often. This is the first time in thirty years I have visited this beautiful .spot. Thirty years — why, let me see, it was just thirty years ago tonight that a certain class graduated from North Central high school. I remember at the time I considered them a Page thirty-seven TALAHI ven ' superior bunch of boys and girls, but some of the things they ' ve done since then have made me doubt it very much. Yes, a very peculiar class — that is, the members were. (Whistles, and Mother Nature appears.) Mother Nature : Were you calling me, old boy? Pa Time : Can you tell me how to get those graduates assembled that left North Central thirty years ago? (Mother Nature utters mouthings. Enter 108 old men and women in ragged clothes.) Mother Nature: I hear them coming now. One himdred and eight old men and women dependent on others for their support. Father Time: How come? Oh, yes, I remember Dr. Sheldon told us about it. 54-36- 5-4-1. There were about two hundred in the class, so there ' s 108 in this first bunch. Mother Nature: Yes, my laws must be either right or wrong. Father Time : Thirty-six of them are dead. But that ' s nothing surprising. A lot of them had stagnated in North Central for consider- ably over four years. They were dead when they graduated, only they didn ' t know it. Well, they ' re my dirt now. (Enter seventy- two in black.) Mother: Ten are working hard. (Enter ten in working clothes.) Time : Yes, and I see some in that bunch who never did work until they got out of school, and then only to keep from starving. Mother Nature: Eight have money in the bank. (Enter eight, carrying savings accounts books and bead purses.) Father Time {Scratching chin) : Ah, yes — a group of the old club treasurers. Mother Nature: Only one of that great number is rich. Here he comes. (Rich man enters.) Father Time {To himself) : Yes, as I supposed. The guy who always used to borrow a jitney to buy a bar. (To rich man) How did you do it? Rich Man {With satisfied smile) : I swind- led my neighbors, robbed widows, sold wood alcohol and now I am president of two radio companies, a concern that manufactures mum- mies for museums; I own an importing com- pany in Japan that imports Japanese curios from Newark, New Jersey, and I write scen- arios. Father Time : I would have had no mercy upon you but for that last clause. If you are a scenario writer, you have had your share of trials and tribulations, — probably trials of the lawsuit type. Now I will take you back to your good old high school days. Fast curtain — fast bird running it. Curtain Father Time: (Pointing to the small foun- tain by the cafeteria.) There is the fountain of youth. It was put there for the very youthful — to be exact (as Mr. Ramsey would say) for the freshies. Drink and become young. Just pile your crutches and sheets over there. Rich Man: (Catching spirit of the occa- sion but not drinking any of the water since he does not wish to experiment with unknown tastes.) I will be philanthropic. I will give you my diamonds. (Throws them to the crowd, but no one notices them.) Father Time, why didn ' t they pick up my diamonds? Father Time : This is heaven and the gates have closed, leaving you out. (Devil appears and walks out with rich man.)

Gordon Smith Advertising Manager John Helphrey Circulation Manager Hubert Evans Treasurer Richard Marks Circulation Assistant Ernest K Green Business Advisor JUNE 1923 THE LAST RACE The last race that we will run for North Central will begin when that roll of white paper is handed to us June 14. The commen- cement exercises will furnish the grandstand ovation; the cheer of the homefolks; the god- speed of class mates. Then we will be off — on that last and hard- est race. Each will try to sprint at the begin- ning, because of the very joy of being started at last. It will be fun to feel the cool breeze of liberty cooling the cheek, and the sand of the unknown track under the feet. But when the runners tire after the first dash, before they get their second wind — what then? Will some drop out, unable to keep up the pace in spite of four years TRAINING they have just finished? Will some reason, Oh what ' s the use of running when I can walk just as well — quitters. Will some lag behind with the decision that they will make up the di.stance in the last sprint ? Then it is that the old tradition of North Central will su.stain us; that the old North Central Rah Rah , will ring in our ears and we will see in memory, the fields where North Central athletes gave their best and won. We will look ahead to where other graduates have made the goal ; we will be inspired by the run- ners on either side of us, and we will keep on with renewed courage. The applause from the grandstand will be silent. There will be no one to cheer us but the urge of do-our-best as North Central graduates. And we will do our best for we know that if the school has given us nothing else it has given us that — the fighting spirit. — the school spirit. With this unconquerable determination spurring us on to the race we cannot help but win again — for North Central. o — o AT LAST! Four loiig years — long because so much has happened in them. Four short years — short because of the good times we have had. We have enjoyed our stay in North Central, and we have derived much from it — much more than the lessons in books. The ultimate design of high school is to prepare one to enter the business world, or go out on the highways of life, and we feel go out onto the highways of life, an dwe feel that we are prepared. And we know to whom owe this prepareness. We sincerely appreciate what North Cent- ral has done for us. Though we graduate and seek new fields of endeavor, we will al- ways have a tender thought for the Red and Black. Goodbye, North Central. We are leav- ing you, but pleasant memories of you will always remain in our hearts. o — o A COLLEGE EDUCATION PAYS In Massachusetts the average number of years a person goes to school is seven years ; in Tennesee it is three. The average income per person is $200 in Massachusetts ; in Tenn- esee, it is $116. Statistics show that the average college Page forty-three TALAHI graduate earns $2000 per year ; a high school graduate earns $1000 per year and a grammar scliool graduate receives $500 per year. What a difference between the salaries of the three! Every day of your high school life is worth $25 to you, and a college education is worth $50 to you each day of your career. Thirty-six per cent of our congressmen, fifty per cent of our presidents and sixty-nine per cent of our supreme court judges have had a college education. Go to college. o — o THE MAGIC OF A SMILE The other day someone left a bowl of flowers in the teachers ' rest room. It was astonishing the change those few blossoms made in that usually dark and cheerless place. Somehow they brightened the day a little for everyone of the weary teachers who dropped into rest a few moments between classes. It was as though they had cast a magic spell — the magic of springtime and happiness. But did you ever notice the magic a smile can produce? Did you ever feel very blue and down-hearted, with a firm conviction in your heart that you hadn ' t a friend in the world, when suddenly while walking down the hall, perhaps, someone went out of his way to smile and speak to you? At once the whole world seemed changed. You felt that you were really necessary after all, and that it was good to see someone ' s face light up with joy at the sight of you. It was wonderful to feel that you had a friend. That is what the magic smile can produce, and it takes so little effort to give one, I wonder why we don ' t do it more frequently. Just as a few flowers can bring happiness and springtime to a cheerless room, a single smile can carry joy and a sense of friendship to a lonely heart, and not only that but the sense of having made somebody happy will also bring gladness to the heart for the giver. Just try it and see how much magic you can make in a day by wearing the corners of your mouth turned up instead of out. TEACHER I can see her in her place, Teacher dear ; An expression on her face — Stern, severe. When she looked up from her book Stabbed me with a dirty look, Made me feel just like a crool Buccaneer. Lessons not prepared today? (Icy tone) No mam, I did meekly say. With a groan. Well ! I really cannot see How you ' ll get a grade of D, When you sit so brainlessly I jke a drone. It ' s no wonder that her brow Had a frown. Or the corners of her mouth Drifted down. Listening to the alibi, Teaching boneheads such as I, Heaven knows she ' ll qualify For a crown.

At the beginning of the year another national honor was added to the one of best high school paper in the L ' niled States . The recently won contest was liased on make-up and headlines. An except ional staff of 24 took up the work of editing the News last January,- under Miss Wyman ' s leadership. Ten have handled the business end. Four new departments were added to the editorial staff, and several six-page issues appeared at times during the semester. The News was represented at the annual meeting of the Washington high school press association, at Seattle, April 13-14, by its editor, who reported a growing interest in high school publications, on her return. The News won much favorable comment, and delegates from other papers throughout the slate said that they followed our paper with interest and obtained good sugestions from it.

Why, there seems to be something do- ing all the time. We thought there ' s a lot of these things you might like to know, so here they are, compliments and slams. We hope you ' ll take these in the same spirit that they are offered. Somebody was telling us the other day about Ruth Green and Ink Henneberg. Of course this wasn ' t news. He said, Gee, they ' re the swellest looking couple — and everybody likes ihem. The funny thing about it was that we had just seen them and were thinking ihe same thing. ,Say, aren ' t .Mark Bradfcnd and Ellery Newton the angleworm ' s wings? I ' ll bet if those boys were together and got held up, they ' d talk the holdup man into giving them his money and then doing a marathon down the street. Those boys sure are there when it comes to chin music. Guess it ' s because they ' re lyincs. Mark is onto his job as class president, too. Dea l avis is a — well, what can I say? She ' s too lignified to be called cute — yet she ' awfully pretty. You know, she edits Etta Ket in the News. I had a notion to walk down the hall with her the other day, but I was afraid I ' d make some mistake, or something, so I went around the other way. Eleanor McGillicudy hasn ' t bobbed her hair— yet. Gee, I hope she doesn ' t. Maurice uses a lot of grease on his, doesn ' t he ? She ' s a cute little trick — Katherine Hayes, I mean. Seems like she ' s always laughing, and her eves are awful twinkly. Those long dresses she wears make her look slinky and Spanish, don ' t- they? . Now there ' s a, typical North Central girl. Bessie McCullough is a regular sport, and everybody knows it. She ' s got a smile for every one — a smile that would melt the hardest teacher in the building. I ' m all for her. Jean Williams reminds me of a little pink carnation. And can ' t she act, though — just like a spoiled little child. I ' ut she isn ' t. She likes a fellow who graduated from here a year ago pretty well. I sure don ' t blame her, only I feel kinda jealous of him. Sa , if you ever get a chance to match wits against that girl over there just going into the News office, why don ' t, that ' s all. Yes, she is Dorothy Steen, and she ' s got a wicked, cutting line. She ' s got big, prettv grey eyes, too, and she can dance, ( ) my ! She ' s a hard worker, too, because she ' s the head of the vocational department of the Girls ' League. They say Irma Jean Waters is just a tiny bit afraid of the boys — but, sa , don ' t ever let anyone tell you she ' s l)ashful, because she can kid with the be.st of them, and even bluffs some of them out. She ' s not feather-lirained, either, by a darn sight, or .she wouldn ' t be president of the Girls ' League. Louie Aston — there ' s a guy I have to laugh at. Besides being all there when it comes to athletics, he ' s a Itear in the class room. He must sleej) on a dictionary. He answers (]ues- tions with words seventeen .syllables long. He ' s got that gift of gab, and knows how to use it. Marye (never forget the ' e ' ) Finney — sure vou know her, she ' s rather tall and .slender TALAHI Page forty-six with bobbed hair. She pounds out the column every week. I often wonder where she gets all that stuff. She must read a lot because she can say things just li ke a poet would. Marye has a failing for Gonzaga boys. Now there ' s a fellow who has got a lot out of high school. He ' s high up in the Boys ' Federation. Hasn ' t he got a wide, intellectual brow, though? And I ' m right here to shout that he sure can rattle off classics on the piano. As somebody said, he pounds a nasty bunch of keys. Oh, yes, it ' s Lawrance Mitchell. Rebecca McHenry is a dark headed girl — she ' s got pretty black hair — but she ' s the owner of a pair of light feet. She ' s broke many a heart with her dancing. You know Bus Gorman, don ' t you? No? Well, he ' s that handsome chap who goes around all the time with that cynical, man-of- the-world smile. Bus is a good fellow. You ought to get acquainted with him. There ' s a dandy couple. Glenmar Witt and Kearney Walton. Glenmar is a pretty blonde, and I think she made a fine May queen. Kearney is a swell singer. Did you see May Johnson in that French play given in convocation? Well, you sure missed something. Talk about keen, say, she ' s all right, and she can act ! Betcha she ' s some great movie star some day. May is a jolly good kid. Phil Roche is a regular fellow, yet he gets away strong with this intellectual stuff. Phil ought to be a minister, or else lecture on ' The Immutability of the Natural Laws, ' or some- thing deep like that. Did you ever see him lead a yell? Nuff said. Jack Helphrey is another fellow who can talk the socks off a cigar store Indian. I honestly believe Jack likes to write up and memorize long speeches. He has a natural proclivity, or whatever you call it, for de- bating. If words can conquer more than swords. Jack is pretty well equipped. Who have you got for English this year? I ' ve got Miss Wyman. I like her. She ' s a regular sport, but she makes you work for your credit. And she can write the funniest stuff. The class hollered so loud one day that she read us a little article she had written. I think she likes the bright lights, too. Gee, I ' m sony Mrs. Fox is going away. I ' ll bet we never get another study hall teacher like her. And she takes nearly as much inter- est in North Central student.s — she knows them all — as their own parents do. If you flunk or something she doesn ' t bawl you out but just gives you a quiet little talking to. It makes a fellow work harder, to think that .some one be- sides his folks takes a little interest in him. Say, that was a good one, wasn ' t it, when Mr. Godfrey was Miss Smith ' s valentine? From the way they hand out slams you ' d think they didn ' t like each other, but they do. They are both favorites in ' gym circles. ' Mr. Taylor is quite a sportsman. He can tell the darndest fish stories. I went in to see him about something one dav and he was tellin ' one. I thought I ' d wait ' till he fini.shed that one and then I ' d ask him, but it was so interesting, and about such big fish that I listened to him for a half an hour and then forgot what I came for. Sure, you know Mr. Strieter—he ' s that good looking teacher in the typing rooms. All the girls like him. I heard he is pretty good at carrying fainting girls around. M iss Baker, that jolly sewing teacher, is another from North Central who has succumb- ed to the spell of the land of the midnight sun. I ' m kinda sorry I ' m not a girl so I could take sewing from her. Another one of these industrious girls with a failing for hard work is Dorothy Knight. She ' s well liked wherever she ' s known. I ' ve known her for a long time, and she ' s right there, a regular pal. Say, ain ' t it too bad that Byron McCoy left school — I thought he was the swellest plaver I never knew why he played My Wild Irish Rose so much until I met Ethel Lafferty. Wonder who passes her time now ? She sure has got a lot of pep— I bet they don ' t even need a victrola at home. I know something about Ethel. Want me to tell you? She ' d die if she thought anybody knew, now that she belongs to the Masque and Triangle and everything. Well, she used to be a Camp Fire girl— honest! She used to scrub the floors and wa,sh the di-shes and everything trving to earn some red and yellow beads. I bet her mother is sorry she quit. You know Bill Merriam, don ' t you? He knows the most things about people but mostly about the football players — no, I guess I i)etter not tell you. Oh, the reason I think he knows so much is because he talks so much all the time. About all he ever talks about is evo- lution and cave men; I guess he must be interested in such things. Maybe that ' s why he thinks that girls .should not learn jiu jitsu— d ' you think so? Babe Poole is a cute girl, i.sn ' t she? Usually she ' s pretty kind hearted— but some- times she ' s so mean. For instance, you know she takes programs out to Edgecliff and some- times she even takes the Delta trio out to sing to the poor sick folks. But I guess thev like her in spite of that. My, Babe .spends so much time in the News office, she must b interested in the paper or the printing presses or something in the print shop. Aren ' t you just crazy about baseball? I am — but I never could understand whv Tubbv Pa ge forty-seven TALAHI Laird didn ' t go out for it. He was such a swell football man. Gee, Babe Ruth isn ' t very little either. Maybe he didn ' t want to spoil that school girl complexion. Do you think that ' s true about nobody loving a fat man? I-I-I don ' t — uh-huh. I think Eleanor Hyslop is going to be a newswriting teacher by the way she acts in the News office. But they aren ' t afraid of her dignifiedness — they know it doesn ' t mean any- th ng. Kleanor has got high ambitions — listen ! You won ' t believe it but she wants to edit the Gopher Prairie Herald. She ' s avvful good sport (swimming, tennis, n ' everything) unless you put a pin in her chair or something. Wayne Bevis is the most surprising boy! Y ' know he acts so sedate and authorish around school. He sits dreaming away at a typewriter, reelin ' off deep stuff about pug- nacious pirates and he ' s even president of the Grub Street club. Well, come here a minute, I heard that last summer he cleaned up a lot running a distillery. I wonder if Pullman girls know that. Isn ' t it the limit? Do you know Marian Leslie and Mary McMaster? They ' re awful nice girls— they go around together all the time. One ' s little and one isn ' t very little. But they both got the rosiest cheeks — oh sure it ' s their own — they ' re not that kind of girls. Tal ' cin ' about faces, ever notice that dimp ' e in Claire Rose ' s chin? It ' s the cutest thing! T used to stand in front of a mirror for hour ' - trving to poke my chin in but it didn ' t do any good. Y ' know .she takes chorus. Ever hear the singin ' the fifth neriod? Well, Claire is what makes it so good. Say, I got such a .shock today. I asked where Toe Ulley wns. Somebody says, ' Oh she ' s at the morgue again. ' I almost died be- fore I found out that the morgue is her job on the News staff. She ' s got the nicest smile —when she grins I just fed like a million dollars. Gee, wish I was popular like Inez Keller. The boys like her so well. She ' s an awful good dancer — ever see her dance at Culbert- son ' s? She ' s going to go on the Pantages circuit, honest. I don ' t think that she likes to stu(ly very well, though. I ' m in her Latin class — she sits right behind me. Three of us are working for a D but I think she ' s going to get it. Say, I heard F. C. McGralh is learninsr tr be a sprinter. He divides his time between thi print shop and athletics. But all he does in the print shop is eat. Course I don ' t know what he does out.side of school hours. Anv- wav somebody said that the Independent Order of the Eaeles are going to elect him as a member just on his reputation as a dancer. I ' m just crazy about Billie Oien — a regular peach. I wish I had that goldy hair — .she always reminds me of (loldylocks. I guess she ' s working hard for her chemistry credit. Did you ever have Mr. Hawes for chem- istry? Gee, he ' s so hard on outside activi- ties. I vyonder how he kept up his classes when he worked so hard during the singers ' popularity contest? Y ' know he ' s baseball coach — I guess he ' s pretty good but he ' s awful mean to the poor boys. I don ' t think he likes to make speeches in convocation, do you? I wonder if Mariana Gray will enter the movies as another Baby Peggy since .she bob- bed her hair. She doesn ' t look like a Spanish siren any more. I guess she ' s lost her cynical view of life because somebody said she ' d started to study so she could graduate. Elta Waters sure is a mermaid queen. If I could swim like her I ' d be satisfied. vShe reminds me of a Canthrox shampoo ad — she ' s always got a comb in her hand. I don ' t blame her though — her hair is awful pretty. I know something about Mr. Ramsey — I think he ' s undernourished or something be- cause he eats an apple in between periods. But anyway he ' s awful nice — I just about die laughin ' in his classes, he says such funny things. Y ' know he calls his classes mobs and multitudes. He ' s kind of psychological or something because he says ' Too many people think too much of the sweet bye and bye and too little of the nasty now and now. ' Do you know Dolores Markham? In Spanish her name means sad, but she isn ' t anything like her name. Oh gee no ! She wants to bob her hair but her dad won ' t let her. By the wav she acts around home she won ' t have nn - hair left when she gets ready to cut it. Isn ' t that some sparkler Viola Blessing is wearing? Wish I had one. liut I ' ll have to get mine at Britt ' s. Wish I knew where she fot hers — don ' t you? Did you know that Viola is a thinker? Yeah, honest. I think she is because when Mr. Ramsey asks her a question she just thinks and thinks and don ' t say a thing. Margaret Riley is a sweet girl — her dad sells candy. She ' s a capable girl but her heart ' s in the wrong place — It ' s at Gonzaga. Slie bossed the .style show — she had the awful- est time rushing around trying to find enough clothes for those girls. Do you know Georgia Marshall — that little teeny girl with the frizzy hair? I think she likes ' to talk awfully well. I ' d hate to have heard her when she was a baby, gee, yes. She savs she ' s a man hater but sometimes I doubt it when I see her in Miss Wilson ' s office (she likes frc.shies best). Tom Aston wants to be a politician. Oh, deah, vas. I don ' t know how true it is, but I T A LA HI Page forfy-euihl heard that he wants to be mayor of Hillyard. I think politicians should be careful where they go, don ' t you? There ' s a jazzy place down on Washington where they sell blue tickets. ell-uh thev found some in his poc- ket. Wish I was as smart as Helen Huneke. She doesn ' t carry an Americana encyclopedia around with her either. She can do a lot of other things that nobody knows about too. She ' s the foundation of the tennis team and a long distance swimmer. I wouldn ' t be that modest. Well say, I gotta go — but for heaven ' s sake don ' t breath a word of what I said — I ' d be ruined for life. PERSONAL GLIMPSES How I Became Rich, by X. Q. Stonepellow Contrary to tradition, I was not born on a farm, and my parents were neither poor nor Scotch. They were Irish. We lived in New York. My parents were very thrifty, and I seldom had any spending money. I developed into a wild young fellow. I often stayed out until 1 1 o ' clock, matching pennies and singing on the street corners. My parents disowned me, later I became married. This is the one event in my career in which I am unable to vindicate my.self. I realize I was at fault, and make no attempt to excuse myself. I longed for riches, but I was struggling along on a small salary. I had inherited traits of thrift, and I began to save the numer- ous handbills that were dropped on our front porch or left in our mail box. Church notices, gelatine advertisements, auction and show handbills — I saved them all. I soon filled the spare rooms. I filled the cellar. I filled the woodshed. I filled the garage. I even rented a warehouse and filled that. I became known as the paper king. But I was paper poor — I hadn ' t a cent. Then came the severe coal shortage in the winter of ' 20 — or was it ' 19 I was able to sell my huge stocks of paper at fabulous prices to the raving, gibbering crowd, trying to buy before the stock was exhausted. Now I am very rich. And the thing I want to bring home to you is that it pays to ad- vertise. At least other peoples advertising paid me ! CONEESSIONS OF A ChEWTNG Gl M FlENI), HY Wana Champit As I sit here, writing with a trembling un- steady hand, I cannot help but wonder what the end will be. Readers, my message to you is, beware the deadly chicklet ! I was once a beautiful girl. I am still young, but my beauty has been ravaged by the awful gum. Well I remember the first night I ever tast- ed the terrible substance. I was girlishly in- fatuated with a handsome young fellow with zerolened hair. I accompanied him to a show one night, and he gave me some of the gum. I chewed it and liked it. Little did I think T was laying the foundation of a habit that would wreck my life. I noticed an expression of fiendish glee on my escort ' s face as he saw this, but I thought nothing of it. Later I learn- ed he was a gum manufacturer ' s son. I bought some of the substance myself. Thv habit grew and grew. I tried again and again to break it ; but it was of no use. I am chew- ing my last stick now. I am sick with the effects of the terrible stuff. I am broken in mind and body. What will the end be? Putting Your Ideas Across, by W. E. Toast Putting ideas across what? I have often wondered. And like any normal human being, I have never tried to find out. Any young man must have ideas in order to be a success. The section laborer has ideas about the correct way to hold a shovel. Even a congressman may have original ideas. One day in the fall, as I was walking down the street of a small town in Illinois, I thought of the great numbers of oak and maple and many other kinds of leaves going to waste. I got my big idea from that. Now, every year I sell great quantities of crispy breakfast foods. With the money I borrowed from my pros- pective father-in-law (the banks would not trust me, but he dared not refuse) I started my factory. My greatest sales are made in Russia, wher e the people are poor and ignorant. When I was .solicited for this article, I was asked to give my honest opinion of the merits of my products. However, I am not going to do this. Far be it from me to belittle my means of livlihood. The moral to this — in case you don ' t see it — is, get a girl so that you may have a father-in- law. Had I not had the latter, my ideas must certainly have been a failure. Page forly-nine TALAHI MY OPINION ON GIRLS ' STUDYING After having been asked by the editor of this publication to give my opinion on the sub- ject of girls ' studying I now feel free to voice a few remarks in that direction. In the first place most girls is conceited about there ability to cram more book knowing into the square inch of noodle than a boy could get into a bathtub. J admit it is possible for some girls to do the -beformentioned but it ain ' t quite probable that any of them will, except maybe where it concerns Parlor Etikat to try on future laboring husbands, or ' How to No the Ideal Man. Some girls is brite but most of em ain ' t, and it ' s my opinion that there is more what ain ' t than there are what is. Take N. C. for instance. There is more girls get there names on the honor roll than there is boys but that don ' t mean anything, lioys don ' t take honor rolls etc. very serious. Cirls do but they only get there names on the list because when they read a lesson they can remember some of the things, and boys have so much to keep under there hair that .some of the things get hurried an can ' t be dug up just when their needed. A boy really studies much more than a girl an can do it a lot better. Some girls can study too but usually they don ' t unless maybe its about table manners for delinquent brothers or how to look stylish in a last summer ' s hat. Girls does too much of the social strugglin to allow much time for studying. It ain ' t quite a regular weak for students of the fe- male sex if they don ' t attend at least 10 parties — 1 each nite and 3 over the week end. That ' s the reason why them same girls at- tending our institution of learning only get D ' s and IVs when they mite get A ' s and B ' s if they studied more an went out less like us boys. Now I hate to praise the males but ain ' t it the truth that the girls that get A ' s an B ' s only get em because they can argument with the teachers over such questions as the fall of Rome until the poor things don ' t no whether they gave a perfectly recitation or not, an give them the cream by mistake ? When a boy gets an A it is because he has to no his stuff, cause he don ' t keep in practice argumentin ' like girls do — count of him not having a rite an rong way to u.se a knife an fork etc. Even after reading this I guess there will be some girls what ' ll still think there good but how the so ever I ain ' t never seen a girl what shined so brite in her studies that she needed to wear dimmers and there has been a number of boys— Ike Deeter for example. BOYS ' STUDYING When my teacher says to me, Write up a article on boy ' s studying. Don ' t roast ' em. Jest give your opinions on ' em, I says to my- self, Givin ' my opinions on the unfair sex is the fondest thing I ' m of, but as fer not roastin ' ' em why I ' m jest about as nice and cool as a pancake griddle at breakfast time in a lumber camp! I ' m s ' posed to tell how boys study but seein ' as they ain ' t so inclined I ' ll proceed to tell what they ' re doin ' when they look as though they ' re studyin ' . ' inheres two kindsa fellas — the artists and them what ain ' t artists. If _ ou don ' t get my drift take a look at a fella ' s school book. If he ' s a artist you ' ll know it quick enough ! The first thing thet hits you in the face is his name. It ' s on the cover and he ' s made it kinda big in case you might be sorta near sight- ed or something. Jest so you won ' t think that the b(X)ks a autobiography he has wrote its name down in one corner. As a sample of his masterpieces he drawed a sketch on the top. He may be one of these here budding cartoonists and he ' s jest the cleverest thing, girls! He actually draws a funny pitcher of the teacher. It ' s a scream ! Then where ya open the book he has wrote Open all night, or Shake well before us- ing. I should think some of the teachers would take the guvs ' advice and shake them well. Inside the book is a pitcher of a bust of Cicero on who our hero with a touch of his fountain pen has drawed a drooping mustache. He generally makes him crosseyed while he ' s at it. Jest think what a lota jolly amusement he affords for the future owners of the book. We see lotsa those kinda masterpieces but our hero has yet another surprise in store for TALAH I Page fifty us. Where a pitcher in the book shows Cleo- patra and Mark Anthony settin ' together he has drawed a little circle and connected it to Anthony ' s mouth. In the circle he has wrote, Oh my little tootsie wootsie, your the bees ' knees, kid. That kinda humor usually brings down the house. And yet, just think, after our artist has spent a whole period developing his talents, the teacher actually has a fit cause he ain ' t got his lesson. It ' s funny how unsympathetic some of these here teachers is. Them boys which ain ' t artists is just as abundent. They are the athletic type. They have to either be throwin ' spit-wads er carryin ' in a May basket fer Missus Fox er sharpenin ' their pencils. They jest git the biggest kick outa seein ' some poor guy get took up toMis- sus Fox ' s desk. Some of the younger ones indulge in blowin ' contests. These contests is very excitin ' . You get straw wrappers that comes with milk bot- tles in the cafe. Then you blow with all your might and see how far they go. This game ought to be placed in the list of clean sports fer high school and college men! The next time you go to the study hall look around and see which guys is artists and which is blowers. I jest got a awful kick outa bein ' sarcastic in this article. I hope my sarcasm ain ' t too subtle though fer I couldn ' t roast the fellers and so I had to do the next best thing. THE PARTING At the edge of the highway we bid him goodbye, We have come such a short way together. Just the start, as it were, when the morning is new When the dew is scarce dried on the heather. Oh the path that leads up through the mists of the vale, What joy we have in ascending. For to him the green freshness of morn, is a tale Of wonder and glory unending. His, the joy to view with unclouded eyes The meadows faint-tinted with flowers. . brook — happy tramp wandering under June skies, Cloaked with rushes and fed by May showers. What a thrill his— to see for the first time the blue Inscrutible haze of the mountain. The trail that winds off half — by calling to vou ; The spring bubbling up like a fountain. We envy his cries of delight; his abrupt Half-questioning glances of wonder. We to explain, but our words, stumbling, cupped In ignorance, confess our own blunder. The glory of seeking and trying is his. Who cares if he strays from the highway That we, poor fools, have lined out; in the quiz Of our own faltering trail as a guidevvay. What matter ! Those vistas we never attained. He views in the course of his straying, Unfettered and free— our chatter disdained— The babel of voices decaying. But we come to the highway at last; there he leaves Us for the lure of his untried endeavor. And we pass on alone ; but the spell that he weaves P ' er the trail, sustains us forever.

The Cancellation of War Debts was the -ubject of the junior Alquist debate. Mar- garet Coughlin on the negative side took first prize and Weldon Shimke on the affirmative took second place.

Kennedy offered a prize of $10 and $5 to the two school clubs who should write and pre- sent the two best vocational plays, resulted in a tie between the Lincolnian Debating society and the Vox Puellarum, girls ' literary club. The play given by the Vox was written by Joyce Grier, and it set forth as the main point, the necessity of students ' taking the same course all of the way through high school in order to fit themselves better for some par- ticular vocation. The Lincolnian play was the product of Mark Bradford and Edward Miller, and was written in such a way as to cleverly portray nine different vocations. Both clubs deserve much credit for the ex- cellence of their work in writing and pre- senting these plays.

Organized for a purpose and carrying out that purpose may lie said of each of North Central ' s organizations. As in the above diagram, each fits into a certain place and helps make up the body of clubs of North Central high. The Scrijytorians form one of the three literary societies. Their purpose is to encourage writing of short stories, ess;ws, plays and pocins. The Rifle club is made up of the best shots in the school. Membership is determined by semi- annual shooting matches. The Maxquf society promotes and develops dra- matic talent through plays given lie fore school au- diences. The Grub Street club, named after the well-known London street which was the gathering place of literary geniuses, explains its own purpose, and ])laccs it with the other three literary societies. S. ' . O. (the senate and the Roman people) is clearly a cltib for Latin students. It is ac- complishing its purjKise of creating interest in clas- sical subjects. The Kootcrs. by forming the yelling neucleus at ;ill gaiTies and inter-school contests, have made them- selves of great value to the school. The club is made up of bi;ys wdio have the North Central spirit and pep necessary for good rooting. Camp fire is an undertaking which has grown rapidly at North Central. Fourteen grottps, spon- sored by Miss . ' nnette Francisco, are made up wholly or p.artly of north side girls. The Engineering society is newly reorganized. Its purpose is to arouse interest in engineering and science. The Lincolnians are boys especially interested in debate work.

' i ' he Delta organization is known for its interest in high standards and sportsmanship, through the anntial athletic awards. The Amfhion society contains the musical talent of North Central. Members entertain at various times during the school year. The Sans Soiici is the French organization of the school. Much is done to encourage French students through an annual contest and French Evening. The Vox Pucllarnm (Voice of the Girls) is the third literary society. Tryout for meml)ership in- cludes the writing of an acceptable story or poem. Unakops and Toario are the two Girl Reserves organizations of North Central. The Boys ' Federation is coming to mean more to every North Central boy each semester. Broadened activities .give opportunities to all. Present officers are president, Ingwald Henneberg; vice president, Don Burke; clerk, Mattrice Balfour; financial sec- retary, Joe Grecnough ; treasurer, Marshall Smith. True to its name, the Aquatic club works for pro- motion of swimming as a sport. The Girls ' League, through its many and varied activities, continues its work of giving each girl an important place in school affairs, and of develop- ing high ideals. Present officers are president, Irma Waters; vice president, Josephine Ulley; secretary, Gertrude Delaney; treasurer, Mary Ransburg. The Mathematics club promotes interest in figures through aiuiual algebra and geometry contests.

The purpose of the club is to promote interest in writing. At the present time, six types of short stories have been studied — human interest, school and college, adventure, love, humorous and mystery. At each meeting a new type is treated, original stories by members are read and criticized freely and these compared with the works of noted writers. The requirements for membership admit to the club only those capable of the best work in English composition. A student having four semester grades of A or B in English, and no grade below C, may write a short story, essay, play or poem, which is judged by a committee of teachers. Authors of the best writings win membership in the society. Charter members in the club are Agnes Anderson, Reva Ei.xler, Ella Croonquist, Anna Hartmann, Henry Kronenburg, Glow Williamson, Alice Ander- son, Muriel Carr, Henrietta Flynne, Harry Hess- lein. Mamie Anderson, Bertha Davis, Helen Huneke, Eleanor Hyslop, Celia Baker and Frances Sailor. Other members are Foy Squibb, Laura Gates, Fay Cranston, Elizabeth Hoffman, Mabel MacKenzie, Helen Potter, Marian Raymond, Holly Shanks, Ber- nadine Sherman, Agatha Shook, Blucbelle Kromer, Grace ' hitcomb and Mary Ensor.

Offkr Advisor Senior Grand Master . — Thomas A ston Junior Grand Master Claude McGrath The motto Clean speech, clean thoughts, clean athletics explains the purpose and aim of the Delta club, the largest Hi-Y organization in the state. It is composed of 50 upperclass boys who have agreed to create, maintain and extend throughout North Central, high standards of Christian character. The club was organized in January, 1914 and was placed on the restricted list of school clubs in Oc- tober of last year. The members meet every Tues- day evening at the Y, M. C, A. Scribe Louie Aston Exchequer William Davis The Deltas are known for their animal awards to the most valuable boy on the team in each of four major sports, football, baseball, basket ball and track. Each spring the Delta Hi-Jinx is an attraction. Frosh Frolics and Father and Son programs are held semi-annually. Charity work is another phase of the endeavor. Three programs are taken to the Parental school each year. Among the last undertakings of this semester were the clean-up and library campaigns.

The club was the outgrowth of the special debate class then in charge of Lowell C. liradford. Snappy, up-to-the-minute talks and debates on subjects of public iiuerest are delivered at each meeting. Dispersed throughout the semester are humorous talks and debates. Each member is ex- pected to take part in one prepared debate, one ex- temporaneous debate, one humorous debate, one prepared speech and one impromptu speech during the semester. Secretary ' . Willis Merriam Treasurer Richard Marks Reporter Howard Stinson Music has its part in the club activities, too. The quartet, at various times, has provided plenty of musical humor at meetings. Every Line who believes in having a good time looks forward to the annual banquet and the picnic. Every boy, while enjoying each of these to the ut- most, does not forget that the organization is primar- ily for debating. Eight members of the club will be graduated with the June class. Charter members leaving are John Helphrey, Mark Bradford, Richard Marks and Lawrancc Mitchell. Others graduating are Ellery Newton, Howard Stinson, Walter Herndon and Har- ter Markwood.

Bradforii Directors Chairman Josephine Ullcy Vice Chairman Mark Bradford Secretary Wilma Pittenger Page seventy-three TALAHI WATER POLO A Hs said that tigers dislike getting their feet wet. Th ' s assertion was confirmed when the North Central water polo team twisted the Tiger ' s tail twice in succession and took the first annual water polo chanipionshi]) from the somh side I ' ivals early in iVpril. The first game of the season was pla ed in the North Central tank. The northerners took the game by an 18-13 score ; it being nec- essary to play an added five minute period to break a 13-13 tie. The final game was plaved in the I ewis and Clark tank. The orange and black hoys start- ed the scoring with a free throw. This only aggravated Coach Godfrey ' s men and from that time until the end of the game I ewis and Clark never once touched the North Central goal except bv free throws. The final score was 12-3. Coach E. B. (iodfrey, with the assistance of Maurice Balfour, built up the winning team from new material. ' Captain Louis Aston and IJon Jones were the only experienced men. Ten letters were voted to the boys by the athletic board, including a manager ' s letter. Those receiving letters were Captain Louis Aston, William Becker, Tom Laird, Loren Haynes, Norval Rader, Earl Litsey, Don Jones, Robert Pritchard, Harold Vogel, Er- nest Smith and Manager Maurice Halfour. Aston and I ' alfour both graduate with the June ' 23 class. ' J ' he rest of the string with the possible exception of Jones will be back for work next year. WATER CARNIVAL ' J ' he fifth semi-annual water carnival was presented on the afternoon and evening of March 2, in the North Central tank under the auspices of the Aquatic club. A program con- sisting of a swimming exhibition, a cross tank relay, a life saving demonstration, a will o ' the wisp act, fancy diving, special stunts, an umbrella race for girls, a crawfish race, a tantem race, an exhibition of water polo by the polo team, a bobbing race, a battle royal and a night shirt race was successfully given. Those students who participated in the car- nival were William Becker, Eleanor Hove, Marjorie Campbell, Irene Smith, Bernice Green, Alice Tuttle, Elta Waters, Dolores Markham, Irma Jean Waters, Earl Litsey, Loren Haynes, Janice McAvoy, Norval Rader, T A LA HI Page seventy-four Arnold Abbeal, Leslie Miller, Inez Keller, Harold Vogel, James Warren, Ernest Smith, Frank Lehner, Everett Henning, Hillis Dal- zelle, Eleanor Jackson, Catherine Robinson, Thelma Davis, Carl Engdahl, Dorothea Oien. The performance was coached by E. B. Godfrey, swimming coach and director of the Aquatic club.. o — o COACH HURRY UP YOST One of the most interesting events of the spring in the sports ' line was the visit to Spo- kane and North Central of Coach Fielding H. Hurry LJp Yost of Michigan, dean of Amer- ican football coaches. Coach Yost was in town on April 7 and during the afternoon he spent most of his time talking to the local football enthusiasts and coaches in the North Central auditorium. The surest road to success in football, said Coach Yost, or in the game of life, is to know the rules, play the game sc uare, and fight to the limit. If you ' re going to play the game right, you ' ve got to be responsive. You ' ve got to be fit, physically, morally and mentally. You ' ve got to be willing to put your shoulder to the wheel. This attitude of ' let George do it, ' won ' t work. ' Get bu.sy ' or ' get out ' is my motto. These people who slap you on the back and say that they are behind you, don ' t amount to much. They say they are behind you, but how far behind? So far that you couldn ' t reach them with a long distance telephone. It takes eleven men to play the game, though I ' ve seen some fellows that seem to play the game just to see it. The scrimmage line is a wonderful place to see the game. I ' ve had some fellows that were whirl- winds at the wrong time. For instance it takes them an hour and a half to get into a suit and five minutes to get out of it and away. Coach Hurry Up Yost has been working in the gridiron regalia for 34 years. He play- ed his first game for a high school in Ohio in 1889. Since then he has played on or coached .some of the fastest teams in the United States, including Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas and Stanford. His crowning success has been with Michigan where he has coached for 23 years. At the present time Yo.st is not I)eing paid for coaching Michigan teams. He does it be- cause he loves the game and because he can ' t find anyone else who can do a good job. Following his address, moving pictures of his ' 22 team in action were shown. Some of the pictures were ultra-rapid showing very clearly the plays and the perfect interference and blocking that have characterized the Yost- men. Yost ' s football axioms are : The true player doesn ' t ask, How many are the opponents? , he says, Where are they? and goes after them. I expect three things of my men — first, backbone; second, backbone; and third, back- bone. Don ' t be a jellyfish. Its not what you intend to do that counts, its what you accomplish. You can ' t win on your own side of the scrimmage line. Be aggressive. Hurry up ! And it is that last cry, spoken incessantly on the gridiron that has given Yost his nick- name and has made him and his teams famous the nation over. o — o BASKET BALL Although we were not fortunate enough to win the city championship this vear, yet we cannot say that the basket ball season was not a success. It was with these words that Principal F. G. Kennedy presented letters to six red and black basket ball men at the clo.se of North Central ' s eighth hoop sport career. The red and black boys came through the season right side up with seven games on the credit side and four on the debit side of the balance. It was on the fourteenth of December in ' 22 when the first hoop battle was staged with tht- Edwall gang. The contest was supposed to have been a first team affair, but because Captain Claude McGrath, Stub Hatton and Vic Turner were still nursing football injuries it resolved itself in to a second team contest. At any rate the Palousers came, saw and conquered with a 19-14 score. North Central had no individual star in that game. The whole team played well, but were unable to cope with the superior size and speed of the boys from Edwall. The following week, basket ball season of- ficially opened when the first team clashed with Moscow high. Moscow clashed just a little bit harder than Coach Taylor ' s string and won the game by a 23-17 score. On Jan. 6, Taylor took his team to Thomp- .son Falls, Mont. The boys went by way of the Clarksfork river and enjoyed the insur- passable mountain scenery — that is, all except Captain McGrath, and he was stepping on the gas in his dad ' s flivver in the meantime and didn ' t have a chance to see anything. You see he slept in, that morning and missed the train. But you can ' t keep the Irish down. Mac was on deck at Thompson Falls when the Page seventy-five TALAHI referee ' s whistle sounded. North Central won the game with a 29-15 score. It was on Jan. 10 that the series with Lewis and Clark began. The first game was played in the North Central gym and was captured by the North Central team. The game was so close that first one team and then the other got ahead. In the last minute of play Mitchell, speedy red and black forward, broke through the Tiger guards and caged the basket that won the game, 13-12. On the following Saturday North Central scalped Coeur d ' Aiene to the tune of 26-22. The next game was the opener of the series with Hillyard. Taylor sent in his second string for the first part of the game who held the suburbanites to a 6-4 score. In the last half the regular team took a whirl at things and increased the lead to 27-4. It was in this game that Vic Turner ' s knee first showed signs of going bad. This handicapped him in later games and managed to lay him on the shelf before the end of the season. The second game with Lewis and Clark was played on Wednesday, Jan. 27. This game was a repetition of the first — almost. It was anybody ' s game until the last gun — but Lewis and lark caged the last throw, and took the honors, 17-18. In the next game North Central overcame a six-point lead and nosed the Tigers out by a 21-18 score. This game saw Cecil Hatton, one of the fastest guards that ever dribbled a basket ball- for a Spokane high school team, wearing the Red and Black for the last time. Hatton was graduated the following week. The loss of Hatton necessitated shifting several of the players and reorganizing the team, but Taylor faced this job with a ven- geance and by Jan. 31 he had a team organized that journeyed to Spirit Lake and knocked the spirited boys for a 28-21 game. With a leap and a bound and a gust of red and black pep, the team met the Tigers in the fourth game of the series. This game was Turner ' s Waterloo. He pulled a tendon in his knee and had to be assisted from the floor. The affect of the late shift was beginning to tell, and the north siders retired with a 32-25 defeat. The fifth game likewise went to the Tigers with a 39-9 score. They had for the first time in the history of the two schools, the city championship. The boys from over the river got on to a shooting streak that nothing could stop. Mitchell was knocked out twice. To cap the climax Captain McGrath went out on personals. The second game with Hillyard closed the playing season with a 21-10 victory for North Central. Ne. t came the job of picking the mythical all-star team of the city. Herb .Sutherland, local sport authority, gave McGrath the only North Central position. Coach Taylor was somewhat more liberal and named three of his boys McGrath, Mitchell and Hatton for places on the mythical team. Letters were awarded to Leland Hanley, Fred Mitchell, Victor Turner, Lloyd Birckett. Claude McGrath received a white .star as cap- tain, and Cecil Hatton got his l)lack star. With the exception of Hatton, all will be back in suits next year. The crowning event of the season was the bear meat banquet held at the home of Coach Taylor. After bruin ' s flesh had been rendered, Victor Turner was elected captain for the 1923-4 season, and it was announced that h ' red Mitchell had been awarded the Delta honor award for basket ball. This ended the season and now all are look- ing forward to next year, at which time the North Central team expects to give ' em the deuce. o — o TRACK North Central ' s track team opened the sea- son by trimming the combined teams of Wal- lace, Plummer, Kellogg and Mullen, at Plum- mer, Idaho, April 28. Douglas was high point man and Haynes ran a close second. The meet was noticeable because of the extremely fast time that was made by the North Central boys. Pi;i,i,MAN Mmr From a field of 40 teams, representing high schools from the entire eastern Washington region, the North Central cinder warriors bat- tled their way through the crowd of 304 ath- letes and won the annual interschola.stic track meet by a score of 4() 1-3 points, on May 5 at Rogers field, Pullman. Lewis and Clark and Yakima tied for second place honors with 20 1-3 points. Jim Dixon of Yakima broke the state dis- cus record when he slammed the platter 119 feet 9.2 inches, bettering by over three feet the record established by a team mate the pre- vious year. Dixon also tied for high point man with Virgil Franklin of North Central. Franklin won both the mile and the half- mile events, taking the mile again from John Divine of Lewis and Clark. As usual the two distance stars ran neck to neck until the last 100 yards when Virge stepped out in his famous sprint and won the race bv a scant 10 feet. North Central made a wonderful showing both in the athletic and representative lines. North Central had the largest crowd of root- ers, and the band with their red coats led the TALAHI Page seventy-six parade around Rogers field after the meet, making a very impressive sight. Harold Moss easily won the pole vault when he cleared the bar at 10 feet 5 inches. Franklin took both the mile and the half-mile and Manley Douglas captured the 220-yard dash. The relay was won by the North Cen- tral team compcsed of Gildersleeve, Lipscomb, Douglas and Pearson. Joe Macri sprang a surprize when he beat Ray Luck of Lewis and Clark in the broad jump and took second place. Leiand Hanley made a throw in the javelin that was goood for a second and George Pearson took second honf)rs in the 220. Louis Rostwick was another surprize. He took third in the shot put. Gildersleeve and Douglas took fourth in the 50 and 100-yard da.shes respectively. Anderson crossed the tape fourth in the mile run and John Long took fourth in the broad jump and tied for fourth with two others in the high jump for the remainder of the North Central points. In the discus, 440, and in both of the hur- dles. North Central failed to place. Lip- scomb ' s shoe went bad in the quarter and the little .sprinter had to quit. Haynes and Mer- riam running the hurdles for North Central were unequal to the speed and form of the boys from Yakima and Walla Walla. North Central took possession of two of the th ree cups offered, winning the relay cup and the cup awarded to the winning team. DuAi, Meet One city record bit the dust and three were threatened when the North Central track team defeated the Lewis and Clark Tigers by a 67- 64 score in the twelfth annual dual track meet held Mav 26 at the stadi um. Virgil I ' ranklin, North Central captain, made a glorious termination of his athletic ca- reer at North Central when he passed Cornehl at the tape, winning the half mile and then fif- teen minutes later, clipped nearly five seconds from the record in the mile run of nine years ' standing. Franklin sprinted the last half mile, C(jvering the course in 4 minutes i7y, seconds, a record which should stand for many years! Leiand Hanley came within 6 inches of the javelin record and Harold Moss was not per- mitted to try for a record in the pole vault be- cause of lack of time. However, after the meet he took a few exhibition vaults but stop- ped after safely clearing the bar at 11 feet— unofticially equalling the city record. The meet went almost as it had been doped, with the exception of the hurdles, where the dope was totally upset. Lewis and Clark was slated for first and second in both hurdle events and it went as a total surprise when Merriam stepped the high sticks in 18 seconds, equaling Parnieter ' s time of last year; and Haynes traveled the lows in 28 :2. Haynes also placed second in high hurdles. After winning the pole vault. Moss stepped in to take Popham ' s place in the discus. He won the platter event with a throw of 103 feet 9 inches. Coop Curry took second. Considerable interest centered in the fight between Beaver and Kirkpatrick for second in the pole vault. Beaver finally nosed his op- ponent out. Big Louis Bostwick easily won the stot put when he tossed the ball 41 feet 2yi inches. Joe Macri took third in the shot put. He also made a third place in the broad jump. John Long was going his best when he tied Horton Gray for first in the high jump at 5 feet 83 inches, of an inch under the city record. Long made second in the broad jump, too. Little Ted McKinney surprised himself more than anyone else when he took third in the javelin throw. In the sprints. North Central slumped a lit- tle. Tynan was too fast, and Gildersleeve on- ly managed to get a second and third out of the 50 and 100 yard dashes. Pearson placed second in the 220 and Joe Greenough stag- gered across the tape for third place in the 440 for the remainder of North Central ' s points. The relay went to Lewis and Clark. The North Central relay team was composed of Seegar, Claybon Lipscomb, Greenough and Jack Lipscomb. RIFLE TEAM The North Central high school rifle team placed ninth in the N. R. A. rifle tournament that was held during the month of April. High schools from all over the United States were entered. In the first round of the tournament Jess Halm set a new school record. Shooting from a sitting position, he scored 97 out of a possi- ble 100. Leslie Graham forged ahead and lead the team during the second stage with a score of 186 out of a possible 2(X). N. R. A. percentage medal.s, awarded to all contestants scoring 90 out of a possible 100, were won by Sam Ensor, Ed Clark, Truman Cantrell, Jess Hahn and Leslie Graham. After the regular tournament. Coach M. C. Smith ' s shooters demonstrated their marks- manship by defeating the regular army team from Ft. George Wright at a contest held over the Armory range. BASEBALL The North Central baseball team lost the city championship to Lewis and Clark this spring for the fifth time in twelve years. The Page seventy-seven T A LA HI Tigers came up with a bold front and took the first two, but the red and black boys tightened up on the third game and prevented the south siders from taking three straight, at least. The first two games were loosely played and both went to the Tigers by scores of 14-15 and 16-2 respectively. The North Central batmen found Marsh in the fifth inning of the third game, and sent in four runs that won the con- test, score 5-4. The last game looked favorably to North Central for the first seven innings, but errors through field and short stop threw the game away, Calhoun began to weaken in the seventh, filling bases. Adams took the mound in an effort to straighten things up a little. Eight runs in two jinx innings proved to great Eight runs in two jinx innings proved too great game, score 9-2 for Lewis and Clark. FRESHMAN ATHLETICS Perhaps one of the greatest programs tliat is being carried out at North Central in the physical education department, is the work that Leon Woodrow is doing for the fresh- man boys. Previous to this year very little attention was paid to the frosh in the athletic line. Since Woody has taken a hand at things, freshman football, baseball and basket ball learns have been organized and several sche- dules in the junior division have been i)laye(l. The games are played under ihe scholastic eligibility rules. This instills in the youthful participants the value of a scholastic standing. It also develops athletic interest in boys who, because of their diminuitive size and weight would ordinarily have but a small chance cf ever making a school team. GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Four competitive forms of athletics have been participated in by girls during the spring semester. Swimming, tennis, track and baseball have all attracted their quota of athletes, and hiking, the non-competitive sport, has been enjoyed by many. SWIMMING North Central ' s mermaids took highest honors in the one inter-school event of the spring. They not only swamped Lewis and Clark in the dual meet, 46-31, by winning five fir.st, six second and three third places, but also broke four records previously made in city and inter-school meets. Captain Marjorie Campbell clipped several seconds from the former records held by her, in the 50-yard free style and 100-yard side stroke. Holly Shanks reduced the 100-yard breast stroke mark by seven seconds, and the 100-vard free style record was broken by Irma Jean Waters. Eight girls made three or more points and were recommended by Miss Elsa Pinkham for letters. Four of these will be here another semester: Marjorie Campbell, Elta Waters, Eleanor Hove and Carrie Haynes. Six who swam in this last contest are lost to North Central through graduation this June : Irma Waters, winner of three swimming letters ; Holly Shanks, two-letter winner ; Dorothy Knight, letter girl; Dolores Mark- ham, emblem winner; Uarda Davis and Glen- mar Witt, team members. TENNIS Through a ranking tournament, started the first of May, the spring tennis season is bein- spent in training material for the fall meet with Lewis and Clark. T ' lay in the ranking will be continued through the two remaining weeks of school, and an elimination tourney is also scheduled. The four graduating members of this vear ' s team are working with Miss Elsa Pinkham and Captain Stella Powell, to uncover material for a fall team. The letter winners in the June class are Helen Huneke, two-letter girl; Edith Leaf and I orothy Cietts, winners of emblems last fall ; and ex-Captain Eleanor Hyslop, reci- pient of three inter-school letters. GIRLS ' BASEBALL The baseball series was started May 14 af- ter several weeks of practice and preparing the field, had turned out good teams and a good diamond. The games were scheduled to end l)y June 1, when inter-class baseball champions and run- ners-up were to be known. A probable nine- game schedule was arranged by Miss Hazel Smith. Margaret Hodgins captained the juniors, Olga Benson, the so])homores, and Bernice vSpores, the freshmen. Senior girls seemed to let up on athletics Ijy the time baseball be- gan, and no senior team was entered in the race.

Sophomore girls won the first girls ' indoor track meet staged here, scoring 25 points in the six events. Seniors came second with 1 1 points. A new method of conducting inter-class meets was tried by Miss Hazel Smith, who had charge of the new sport. Any girl in school could enter one or all of the five events — 30, 75 and 22()-yard dashes, throw for dis- tance and high jump. Class teams of six each were picked for the relay. Inter-class letters were won by six sopho- more girls: Captain Margaret Kramer, Maiden Laughbon , ' rhelma McLarty, Helen Shjande- niaar, Olga Benson and Katherine McDonald. Onlv one scored on the senior team of which Rluebelle Kromer was captain. Elea- nor Hyslop won second team numerals. Esther Lesmon and June McDonald cap- tained the junior and freshman .teams, which scored 6 and 8 respectively. HIKINC, Hiking continues to be one of the most pop- ular forms of athletics, according to the num- ber f)f girls who have gone on the trips of the hiking club every two weeks during the se- mester. Eight hikes have been taken since February, and a total of approximately 75 miles has bec-n covered. Trips to Seven Hile, Minnehaha, Hartford, Sunset boulevard, Down River drive, (ilenrose. Bowl and Pitcher and the fox farm were the ones plamied by the directors.

The crowning ceremony and program in keeping with the spirit of Mav dav, together with a cantata by the advanced chorus class made the ceremony complete in every detail. Following the musical number, the royal procession marched down the aisle to the stage. When the May Queen was seated on her flower-covered throne, and the attendants had takent their places beside it, four dances rep- resenting the four first months of the year were presented. January and February were represented by a skating dance by Helen and Muriel Carr. Grace Cowgill, in floating gray draperies gave a dance typifying March. Lillian Finley gave the dance of April and the month of May was depicted by Georgianna Hardy, who crowned Glenmar Witt the Queen of the May. Esther McDonald sang a vocal solo, Voices in the Wood, (Reubenstein) . The in.stru- menta! music was furnished by Elizabeth Jor- dan, piano; and Margaret Pooie and Catherine Kobinson, violins. The royal procession included Glenmar Witt, queen ; Clover Larkin, train bearer ; Dea Davis and Josephine Ulley, attendants ; Irma Jean Waters, Louise Clausin, Ruth Green, Mary McMa.ster, May Johnson and Kosella vScholer, flower girls. The program was in direct charge of the personal efficienr} ' department. Girls from that division of the Girls ' League made the stage a bower of fresh wild flowers, and the queen ' s throne was covered with an arched trellis covered with flowers. The success of the ceremony was largelv due to the work of Miss Elsa Pinkham, girls ' physical director, who coached the dances, and planned the arrangements of the program.

According to many of the un- der classmen, members of the present graduat- ing class seem to have been very popular with students during the last term. Students have nothing but good things to say about those who are leaving us. The opinions of students who have felt the pangs of sorrow when con- fronted with the thought of having to go to school next year without the guidance of those who have helped them in the past, are given below. John Carpenter says : I hate to see the sen- ior A ' s leave because there are many pretty girls in the class. Grace Cowgill has the following to say : I ' ll miss their gentle voices in front of Miss Gib- son ' s office. This from George Anderson, a traffice cop : The seniors have been in North Central from four to seven years and have learned to obey the traffic laws. As a result there are fewer violations of the traffic laws by seniors than by lower classmen. Helen Hazen : I ' ll miss Dea Davis. I think she is so pretty.

George Castle says this : I am sorry to see the seniors go because I don ' t know how we can get alon without them. I was supposed to graduate with this class but due to my dumbness I must wait until January. Jean Williams: I hate to see them go be- cause I ' ll miss Marjorie Fisher. Harold Darst: I ' ll miss them in my physics class. I was trying to acquire their ability to tell forceful little stories when they didn ' t have their lessons.

The boys are inclined to be pretty frank- about the matter; even admitting that they are NOT. One even admits that he would like to have another year of it ! ! On first thought every girl stated that she hated to leave oodles and oodles of friends at North Central and on second thought she was sorry to leave .Miss Gibson tnd Mrs. Im- mish. Harry Jones has decided that it is terrible to graduate, even if he hasn ' t learned anything. Mary McMaster believes, If it wasn ' t for the freshies there ' d be plenty of room when our class got out but my absence will relieve crowded conditions somewhat. Melvin Nelson says that he is glad to get away. Also, Give my best regards to George Castle as stage manager. Why it will be just like leaving home! declares Esther McDonald.
