It was in the spring of 1920. All was quiet and peaceful in the little town of I ' nsophistication. Most of its drows_ inhabitants were tilted back in their chairs in front fif the Hotel Hayseed. A checker game was in progress there, and farther on down the street, leaning heavily against the town hitching rack, snoring contentedly was the vil- lage constable. The whole atmosphere was one of complete resignation. I ' p on the top of Beginners hill, ju.st west of town, stood a large wagon. The suns bright rays made it glisten in its fresh new coat of green paint. It was half past eight on that eventful day, when suddenly the air was filled with shrieks and cries of mad laughter. The town citizens came to life immediatelv , and the checker game was discontinued. The village police force awoke with a start and fell hack- wards over the hitching rack ' into the watering trough. .Ml eves were turned towards Beginners hill, anci what a sight they beheld. . hilarious bunch of young.sters just out of grade school came dashing up the hill and climbed into the wagon. To it they hitched two steeds, De- lennination and Hard ' ork, and giving it a mighty push, rolled off down the hill and out on the High School road of Fun and Fret leaving behind forever the little town of Unsophistication. What a jolly bunch they were. There was Ethel Lafferty, Coop Curry, Louise Clau- sin, Edgy Hog ' le, Johnny C,raham, Elta Waters, Don joiies, and a lot of others. I ' robably you wouldn ' t have recognized any of them, they were such a youthful lot. Ethel Lafferty wa.s a cute little thing with fluffy curls, and Coop Curry was a meek-eyed lad who wouldn ' t even look at one of the fairer sex. Rut Them Days Is (lOne Forever, eh, Coop . ' The travelers found their journey not as dif- ficult as they had expected. All except John C.raham, who decided there was no great hur- ry, and so was lost, ere they came to Sopho- more Lane. The time passed swiftl and soon the edu- cation seekers turned off on to Junior De- tour. They crossed the bridge of Popular- ity but luckily did not fall into the waters of the river Conceit, which flowed beneath. I ' retty soon they met Byron .McCoy, and liking his appearance picked him up and went on. About every one got most awfully tired of the horse Hard Work. He was such a boresome old nag, so they unliitched him and let him go, b ut then their progress was much slower. On farther the wagon wheels stuck in two deep ruts, Chemistry and Physics. Il was too much for the horse Determination to pull them out alone and he was obliged to lie down and rest. The bunch were having a good time when Old Man Conscience came along and whis- pered to them. Immediately they found Hard Work, hitched him up and barely made Senior Highway because ihey had lost so much time. Now the travelers asked Lawrence Davison to take the driver ' s seat. Before they had dei)ended upon the teamwork of Hard Work and Determination. . l Flunkville Spike Ca.stle, Marve Fin- ne , Margaret Green, John Heily, and Kate L()ng joined them. Farther on they found X ' iola Blessing, full of pep and anxious to go with them, and they took her along. The way was rough, but the travelers, who bv now were older and more experienced, withstood the effects of the hard travel. One last cata.strophe impeded them. A wheel came off when they crossed the ditch of Compul- sor Gym. but you know Hard Work and Determination ! On Lmuarv 4, 1924, they dressed in their best, and frolicked far into the night at a big l)arn dance, which was the last party they en- jo ed together. After four years of travel they found them- selves at their journey ' s end, in the city of Graduation, which is really the beginning of the Road of Life. MAURINE GODFREY GEO. E. JENNINGS THE TAMARACK Page twenty-fou Class Will Be it remembered that we, the Senior Class of the North Central High School in the city of Spokane and the State of Wasliington, be- ing of lawful age and sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereijy, publish, and declare that this is our last Will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. juniors: We, in all due ceremony bequeath to you practical conduct of life in good sense and sound judgment; also proper things to say and the proper time and place to say them. Sophomores: We leave to you our good manners, superior knowledge and good looks to be used henceforth and accordingly. Rea- lize that we, the deiiarting Seniors, have been the guiding star during your .so-far eventful career of learning. Freshman : Do as we have done. Do not get discouraged. Be as our Rhubarb V ' aselino Shiek, Harry Heinzen, has been. He says, We ' re never too old to learn. So why not sta - at North Central as long as you can learn. Also, Freshmen, give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. Janitors : We bequeath the privilege of picking up minute ])articles of waste paper left on the floor by thoughtless freshmen. Athletic Ability : Romine Ostrander leaves his great football ability to Tub Laird— hop- ing he will l)e, in the future, as capable a man. Joyce drier — small but mighty — leaves her wonderful executive ability to Marcella Brain- ard with the h )])e that she will be equallv suc- cessful. We leave, with Viola Blessing ' s consent, her masquerilled eyelashes to ] larion Leslie with the v arning to beware of early morning rain- storms or hysterical laughter as they prove very disastrous. The class will committee has lost precious hours of needed sleej) racking its brains over ihe romantic problem of Pearl Clinton — Laughiandcrs ' Stage Door — and Coop Curr We leave I ' rank Finney ' s suggestion to the remaining boys of North Central that they make dates with his daughter Marye to go gum hunting under the seats at the Hippo- drnnii ' ihcatcr. As variety is the spice of life. we hope that ju l spearmint is not found. We compliment and leave the successful plannmg of several of our graduates of grad uating together, to Melba Welton and Melvin Sohns. We leave Maurine Godfrey ' s fantastic toes U) Edgy Hogle for the success of his dance in the pep convocation. We take with us, Lawrence Davison, our class president and hope for his attainment of the presidency of the Rinkey-Dinks. We, the class will committee, do hereby beg. and implore to the utmost of our untiring ef forts (o the faculty of North Central to do all in their power to aid the several intendents of matrimony (as soon as school is out) to grad uate at their very earliest convenience. (Tin committee expects graduation presents for thi- suggestion). It is better to try to catch flit- with sugar than vinegar so after this heresy, we realize that presents for the )oung bride will not be expected from the Will committee. The graduating seniors offer this sound sug gestion to the freshmen present and to come Be i rtjiared for the worst. Start saving thi shekels early next year .so that the drives for the freshmen carnival queen will not give out. on account of lack of funds. This secret will be disclosed. It takes year to get anything beneficial for a school, .sd freshmen ask Santa Claus for .spades and shovels next year, then be the leaders — if not financially, physically. Use the valuable im- plements to a good advantage. Vole on a leader and start digging the big athletic field to be called Kennedy Bowl, so it will be finished by the time Claude .McC.ralli graduates. Last but not least, we leave the faculty our most hearty and sincere thanks and apprecia- tions for their untiring aid and pleasant com- ])anionship. The previous class will committee willed to us as much trouble in writing this document as they had in writing theirs. We can do no less than pass this wish to the following com- mittee. SIGNED T.

The custom is nujstly legend and tradition now, Init the chiefs still recall before the council fire, how, in the glorious ])ast, when hunting was good and the war path was better, the braves of the tribe would sit to- gether and count their scalps and recall their deed before the Mislic- fslikooduli, in the Moon of I ' alliiig heaves. . t this ceremonial the chiefs would hear the stories of the braves and award the feathers of Keiicii to those most deserving them. T ' roud indeed was the youth who displayed the feathers of Kcncii, the war eagle, for the first time. The period of the M isltc-l shkodddb is upon us as a class.

The sailor realizes that he will never safel reach ] ort unless he does his work thoroughl while at sea. (Xir life work is very similar to the sailor ' s tri]) at sea and should be taken seriously. The one who aspires to become a sailor mu spend some time on land learning the fund.i mentals before he may be trusted with the duties re(|uired of him on the shij). If he does not fully learn his duties he will find man difficulties to overcome before he reaches port if he reaches it at all. He not only jeopardizes his chance of making port safelv but also thai of others on the ship. Likewise, we ntust full ])repare ourselve.- for life ' s jtnirney.

Ill 11,1) N ' OL KSEI.VES IDEALS People look down upon an idealist as a ilreanier and a fool, but the fact remains that the way U) derive the most from life is to build yourselves ideals and live by them. The stor is toUl of an old French bell-maker who lived and plied his trade by ideals. Every bell that he mad ' j was ideal. Every time he reached his ideal he moved it ahead a little farther. In this manner every bell he cast was better than the ln t. name s|)read far and wide. A last, as he grew old, he planned a bell that was per- fect. Nothing like it had been seen before. Its size and shape and quality exceeded all others. The tone that escaped its bronze tongue was as sweet as an angel ' s harp. The old bell maker planned to place his creation on a moun- tain top where it could send forth sweet music at the end of the day. It was his last ideal but he compromised it. He found that it would be difficult to hoist it to the mountain to|) so he left it on the mountain ' s side. He thought that would do. Hardly a week had passed before a rock slide occurred. The unfirm foundation of the ideal gave way and the bell of the master ' s dreams fell in pieces into the river bottom. To compromise an ideal is dangerous. It is worse than no ideal at all. What a wonder- ful world this would be if everyone built ideals. Now and then one would cra.sh, like the bell, into the river; but only because it was compromised. Out of the warp and woof of human existence, build yourselves ideals, an.i coniiiromise them. — never. A .MODERN CARL Two dazzling eyes. ; bab - stare ; . little smile, . nd curly hair.

In what manner I have so incurred the dis- jileasure of the gods that they should infringe ipon my dignity to the extent of making me, igainst mv will, suUan of a modern harem, I lo not know. From earliest youth I have always presented I scholarlv appearance, so I am told. Having licen I ' orn with weak eyes 1 am accustomed ii) adorn my physiognomy with a pair of shell immed glasses. My hair is parted in the iiiddic in conformance with the latest style. 1 do not hide the fact that I have a tendency () lisp. But let me say that I am not possessed with boldness or the spirit of adventure and ;ny actions of late are not in accordance witli my natural timidity. Last Friday I had occasion to visit the dor- mitory of a girls ' school in order that I might convince the fair members of the necessity of jiossessing a copy of The Sub-conscious Mind and its Functions, ' ' written b - Professor Maritz Heidlemann and published by the Hinsdale Printing conijiany. I rang the bell and opened my mouth for action. Could I interest you in the latest and most rompk ' te edition of the F unctioning of the Sub-Conscious Mind? I began. O that ' s all right. Just keep .still and come in. You may be able to use that little line n{ chatter later, quoth the fair damsel who iipened the door. Placing one lily hand upon iuy sleeve and the (jther on my shoulder she ilragged and pushed me into the room. Hav- mg acc(5mplished this much single handed, ther lily white hands came to the rescue and pushed me forcibly into a chair. We ' ve been expecting you, said they in chorus. Fine, I said, so you ' ve heard about my proposition? Your make-up ' s good, ' said one who -eemed to be speaker for the crowd. I never thought so, ' said T, Lets get down to business. How many copies do you want ? How man - copies would we like? echoed I he femnlf congregation. W ' e didn ' t know tlu- came In C()i)ies. W e want to hear the plans. I fear there is some mistake, I said in a knightly fashion. Aren ' t you Jack Hill who was sent here by Annabelle Jackson? said the speaker in a quivering voice. No, I ' m Percival Thompson sent here by the Hinsdale Printing company, I said, see- ing the mistake. Well, we ' re afraid you must be going, said the chorus in excitement. As much assistance was given me in preparing tf) leave as in enter- ing. Then, like a thunder bolt out of a clear sky a shrill voice piped, Run ! Hide him. Here she comes. Who comes? Miss Perkins. Confusion reigned. There was gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair. Helpless girls hovered aimlessly about like butterflies in a rain storm. Then one, with female intuition, suggested that we change our location to the be lroi m. Against my will I was pulled into the sanctuarv forbidden to the masculine ele- ment and seated on the bed. Like an ominous portent the doorbell rang. In the midst of pending distruction I swelled with pride. This was the first time in my brief history that I had been the center of attraction. Cirls, girls even where and not a man in sight. Then I was brought back, with a start, to the realiza- tion of ni} unfortunate position. Necessity was again the mother of invention and I was commanded to put on a dress which had been brought forth from the closet. I refuse, young ladies. This is an outrage. Keep stili and put it on. It ' s too late to do an thing now. You can ' t refuse unless you have a better idea. Put me in the clo.set. This is inspection day. What do you expect me to do, if I resign myself to your nonsensical plan? Keep quiet and let me hook ou u] . S ' ou are Annabelle Jackson. I am Percival Thompson. You are Annabelle Jackson and you ' re .showin g off your new hat. She of the wild ideas suited her actions to THE TAMAUACK I ' ayc tliirly-foii her words .iiid ])lacecl one of these man colored sunsliafles on my head. Approaching footsteps renewed lagging haste. Again I received aid from lily white liands and instructions from frenzied voices. Sit well up on the bed. . shove in that direction. Hide you feet under your dress. A smoothing of ruffled skirt to hide a pair of ])ants. Ketp your hack to Minerva. Speak onlv when you ' re spoken to and then let it l)e brief. No longer could I cope with the situation. To think that I could have come to this. I refuse and alscj I — But here my outburst came to a sudden finish. How vain, those earnest words. Already Sherlock Holmes had completed her inspection of the front part of the house. H ever manhood was put to shame mine was. The idea of a self respecting re- presentative of the firm of Hinsdale and Son, Printers, lowering himself to the degree of Ijeing found in a girl ' s bedroom, dressed in a girl ' s dress and surrounded by a bevy of strange girls. The instructoress swept haughtily into the room. My harem crowded around me on the bed. T tried to present a girlish figure from the back. I cocked m head first on one side and then on the other. I stretched my neck and put a serene and angelic expression on my face in showing off my girlish charms. Fear of disclosure kept my arms close to my sides and my hands cla.sped in my lap. Having peered into the closet and g(jne through numerous dresser drawers, Miss Per- l-:ins directed her line of march tf)ward the bed rind halted. It was up to me to say something. Speech is silver and silence is golden but my silence could not last forever. I racked my brain foi- the ])roper words. Then an inspiration came from above, .squinted my face and stretched mv vocal chords and .said in a high strained falsettn voice, Yes. I like this hat. I ' ve never had one like it before. It is becoming from the back, my dear, .says Miss Perkins. Your voice sounds ver bad today. You must let me look at v.ni throat. Oh, she ' s alright, came from every siiK I shook my head vigorously in confirmatio.i I must .see your throat immediatelv, .Audi belie. ' I ' urn around and open your mf)utli ' Dis aliter visum.

It was up to me to cove; ground an d the quicker the better. I reaclK-l the door in one leap. At this point in in journe I took the time to turn around anii give my audience one deep and heart felt liow. And, oh, that look of holy horror that resie l on Miss Perkin ' s face. And, oh, the scorchini; glance which she (hrected toward my lower ex tremities protruding below that ruffled skin J ut time and tide wait for no man and like a flash of lightening, I took my cours. ti distant parts. T forget the details of my flight but I re- call tearing the dre.ss from me as I ran as last resort to extricate myself from that uiecr of feminine apparel. Also I remember feelin the i)rescene of many pairs of eyes u])on nu as I sped. I mark this tragic episode as the outstandini; event of my young life. I shudder to thin! of such an outrageous assault on my man! dignit , yet, withal, I suffered no greater ina terial loss than a grey felt hat and a copy of The Sub-Conscious md and Its Functions. ' GIVEN NAMES Some nwnths ago I was ast by the editor of the News, P ill Mirriam to be egzact, to rite a article for the News. That article on the fair and otherwise sex w as so successful an I got a answer to it .so fast that 1 decided to res])ou(l to the urgings of the editor of this here classic and rite some more. After some deliberation, considerable thot, an more reflex- ion as lo (looty, I decided to be a champion oi the poor kids which is supposed to be uplifte i by the names tied to ' em when they began- there careers as humans. Given names is thi things I aim at particularly because familv names is things we got to endure and can ' t help. In llic first place there is two kinds of gi eii thirty-five THE TAMARACK names. Them is namely them which is handed down from gcnerashun to generashun and them pretty little things which mothers is so proud to call children of an inventive mind. Now in regards to them inherited afflictions. They is afflictions the same as a can on your tale is. ' I ' hey are people who if they ever had a ancestor with a name like Henry, Oakla- theine, Osee, Waldo, Horatio, Maggie, I ' heobe, Egathy. Silas, Cyrus, Archibald or somethin just as beautiful, distinguished and appealing to the sentiments, feel that they got to pass it along to a string of poor kids. It don ' t take much provication either. I notice any little thing like scrubbin decks on the May Flour, cookin for the first lady of the land or polishin Lincoln ' s boots is enough for some of them. 1 no a guy named vSylvester. All his friends call him Silly. He was named after an uncle just because said uncle was the leading man in his town at the time he died. He led the rest of the town by a hundred yards. They were chasin him with a rope and he tripped over a ash can and broke his neck. I guess they named him Silly liecause his uncle was clever enough to dodge a necktie party. Silly don ' t think much of his uncle (can you blame him — uncle bein ' responsible for that name), but his dad and mother seem to. They got a picture of him on the piano. He ' s one of these birds with side draperies under his nose and a wall paper pattern shirt that makes his front look like a section over the kitchen sink. Invente d names is things like Anielius and Pelorus. I cin ' t see nothin ' good about them unless it ' s the nerve it took to hang a thing like that on a poor, defenseless kid. -My name ' s Henry. I don ' t know whether it was inherited or invented but I g ' ess it was carried by some ancestor before me and T suspects it was a man. At least it ain ' t origin- al. Ever time anybody yells Henry at me, I feel like something that should have been shot in the Civil war. When a kid is christened .somthin ' like the before mentioned, he usually raises a howl, a fuss, and as much of the devil as he can. If he was older he ' d cuss and tell ' em what he thought about it, but as he usually ain ' t, all he can do is kick, screech and s(|uawk. It ' s a wonder they don ' t l)reak a bottle over his head. Such treatment would go well with the name and it seems to be popular in christening I ' ords, battleships, etc. When the kid begins to .squall an ' announce to the world that he don ' t appreciate his fond parents choice of nom de -well it ' s French anyway, — his under- standing mother lays his peevy outburst to a attackt of colic an ' the young one gets castor oil an ' the hot water bottle instead of a decent name tor his indisposition. Thinkin ' he has one his point he shuts up and the outrage is fin- ished. Personally, 1 think that these inventive genuses among the mothers is responsibe for a lot of us kids woe in later life. It also is my opinion that a father who lets a mother tangle a kid up in a thing like Oaklatheine, a name that soimds like somethin ' that strayed from a chemi try manual, has about the same kind of a head as one of these exhibition ostrich eggs — blown. You can usually tell ' em, to, becau.se they got these kinda Komedy Kat grins on their moldy lookin ' ph s — somethin, and there hats is somewhere between a sunboimet and a somburro. Nicknames is pleasin things to. I carried Toots for mine for a number of years, but thank God nobudy ever called me Hen or Coop, the natural derivations of Henrv. H. ' l,. K. THE SCANDAL MONGER ' S REVIEW 1 Elta Waters sure seems to fall for these red- headed ice men. Jack Graham you know, is (|uite a mean man with the ice tongs. Spani.sh operettas and dark complexioned men seem to fascinate Maudie Bartshe be- cause she bandies both with ease, especially the men. .Athletes, however do not seem to appeal to her, excepting Edgie Hogle, and there ' s a reason for him. Maudie says that Hogle is so ugly that he ' s cute but she failed to men- tion Vtrne Peterson or John Graham. The footl)all fellows sure did enjoy their banquet, that is, the part in which ] laurine Godfrey starred. Oh yes she knows her groceries when it comes to using her feet. The gridiron scrappers never will forget Maurine ' s graceful, fantastic movements. Marve I ' inney ' s associations with Si)okane ' s Irish collegians have seemingly ceased al- though her new door mat gleams forth with Our Home Is Always Welcome. High grades seem to l)e Sylvia Taitch ' s THE TAMARACK Page thirty-si hobbv. She ' s a wonder at figures. No won- der! ' Each class must have its president and January ' 24 did not fall down when they elected Lawrence Earry Davison. A good sport, level headed, and square, he carries the worries of his class without a whimper. As- tronomy, by the way, is his favorite subject. Surely Johnny Graham has not read the latest edition of the Book of Etiquette or Tiny Robinson would not have had to de- liberately steal a chrysanthemum at Daven- port ' s after the operetta. John, the young lady should have had a corsage. Don ' t let it hap- pen .igain. As a dramati.st, Frances Gilbert would sure shame Vera Gordon and proved it as leading lady of the class play. She also kept a record of the money account. Executive ability is not lacking in Joyce Grier. Girls ' League president was not her only chance to show her ability as a leader. Club presidencies were her specialty. Louise Clausin ' s last days at North Central seem to have been rather ill fated. Dwight Snyder ' s departure across the river was rather a blow to Louise. Marsh Smith not only believes in saving his voice but also that qualit - which made man go wild over Vanderbilt. His entrance at the proms at the last hour proved to be of vcr little strain on friend pocket book. The Boys ' Federation presi lenc - may lead ]ohn Pat Heilv ii to political circles where his affiliaticjns with the Rooters ' club ought to help him in his future congressional speeches. Abner Grimsrud did not live up to the character he portrayed in the class play when Grace ] obinson left for California. Rings do cost! Don ' t they, Abner? Aside from being a musician and a football specialist, Byron McCoy is also a slicker at cards according to testimony introduced by Viola Blessing who ought to know. She alleges Bebe owes her two fifty as the result of a card game but as yet Byron has failed to come across. As far as classes go, chemistry is one ex- treme and dramatics another. Yet North Cen- tral has witnessed the chemistry department taking an active interest in the dramatic de- partment and vice versa. However, Mr. Hawes might make a good stage hand under the di- rection of Miss Elliot. Within the walls of the North Central te- pee struts one brave chief, namely Don Jones, leader of a warring band of pigskin artists. Don sure stuck to his post as football captain and .showed real Indian spirit. Don is a box fighter, maybe that ' s the reason. Edgic Hogle, captain-elect is no box fighter, o- am importance but Hogle is going to do all ii his power to fill Don ' s shoes. Congratulations to Don and more power to Hogle. We hope that Harry Hesslein will get ini. the Masque soon. We think that a mask or . muzzle would improve his appearance consici erably. Fred Dille ' s best class has proved to be , psychology class. Rather strange too, as a rul. girls do not interest Dille, but there must , a woman in every man ' s life. Who is sh( Dille? Agatha Shook is so fond of those old-fasli ioned songs. The other day she was heard merrily carolling, Just a Little Rocking Chai and You. We don ' t mind the song, but ( are afraid that if the rocking chair was ver little, Agatha would have to stand up. North Central ' s beef trust, alias Tubby Laird, has proven himself quite kitteni.sh at some of the dances lately. He admits that In had a good time at the first Harlequin danct but what happened after the dance (?) Tubby ' s own business. Tough pickings for Shiek Heinzen. Good looking enough alright but the girls do find something lacking. The freshmen maids STOP ! LOOK ! and LISTEN I but even their supposedly significant grey matter fails comprehend the missing link. Rough House Rafferty sure lives up to her nick name when she leads yells but even the worst of the Gas House gang have their good points. Commercial English is an important stud} without a doubt and a necessary article in the business world. Perhaps Mr. Strieter and Miss Williams are contemplating a business venture. They have been trying to teach each other the fine points of their respective arts for some time and they seem to be doing nicel} together. In Ye Goode Okie Days each Royal Court had its Jester. The Royal Court of January ' 24 not to be outclassed has found humor and wit written all over Elinor Jackson. Elinor ' s wit- ticisms have caused more than one laugh among her classmates. The Green Sisters, like the Watson and Hoyt sisters of stage fame, are also footlighl specialists, although not of the musical comcd type. Margaret is a talented .speaker and elc cutionist and would shame Caesar himself. Genevieve, although not gifted as a talker, has alrcadx made a bid for Pavlowas ' laurels. Why is it that girls fall for football heroes. ' Fern Hawkey should knf)w Clown McGrath plavs a real game of football but Fern, sa s he I age thirty-seven isn ' t half as rough off the field as he is during the game. Doris Niles refused to sever relations with the navy until after Christmas but the parti- cular section of the fleet in which she was interested must have sunk in a storm at sea as no results were forth coming. Kate Long thinks that variety is the spice of life. Duke Slater, Houston Stockton, Lynn Cox and her library shiek bear witness as they have been the variety. YE KNIGHT The king swore. This was the seventh game f checkers he had been obliged to lose to the court jester to keep him happy. This king job seemed to he entirely give and take anyway. Now who could this be, daring to interrupt the royal train of thought? I ' he door opened and the Knight of the Bedstead entered the room. Thii knight had been dubbed the Knight of the Bedstead because of his continued en- ioyment of that article of furniture. The royal Checker chamber became silent When the silence grew so thick that he could not see the king, the knight, drawing his jack- knife from its sheath cut a liole in it. Then falling upon his knee, the knight begged per- mission to travel in search of adventures. Could he allow an untried knight to go in search of adventures? Assuredly not! He iiiust first test him, but how? Suddenly the loor burst open and in stamped the head cook. The cook was angry. The queen had dirtied all of the royal dishes in a vain attempt to make some tarts for the head candle stick maker. The seven assistant bull-cooks abso- lutely refused to wash the dishes. They had washed these same dishes nine times in one week. They would not allow the cook to wash ihc ro al Chinaware and threatened death to anyone who should try to wash it. Now, if the king didn ' t get some one to repair this damage, he, the head cook, would go on a continued and immediate strike. The king promised to get ome one and turning to the Knight of the bedstead assigned the task to him. The knight repaired to his private cliamber to make preparationss for his trial. First, he pulled a grindstone from the corner and for three hours he whetted his trusty jack-knife. Next he polished his suit of armour. He pol- ished the armour until he could see himself in it. Then, drawing on the tried and trusty apron of the head cook ' s, he descended to the royal kitchen. No sooner had the knight entered the royal kitchen, when, there sprang from behind the door, the seventh assistant bull cook. Drawing his trusty knife, he carved off the villian ' s left ear and threw the body into the corner. Then, as he saw nobody else in the room he started to work. He piled all of the dirty dishes in the sink. Next he lifted the dishpan and under it, to his surprise, found the other six assistant bull cooks Manfully he carved off each left ear and threw the remains into t.he corner. Then he started to wash dishes. For seven days and seven nights the knight worked. At last he was finished except for the Old Oaken Bucket. This he could not get clean. Finally, in sheer desperation, he borrowed a plane from the chief toy maker and planed the bucket clean. After gathering together the several ears of the assistants, the Knight of the Bedstead went forthwith to the Koyal Checker Chamber to claim his reward. The king was well pleased. He gave our hero the additional title of Sir Scrubbing Brush. Next he promised to place a gold star upon the round table before the seat of the Knight of the Bedstead. Finally, presenting the knight with the royal shoelace, the king gave his permission for the journey, and the knight departed rejoicing. ' V STORY OF DEFEAT He knelt at her feet. He gazed up into her averted face searchingly, but beyond a silent, suppressed biting of her lip, she betrayed no flicker of emotion. As his gaze fell, a shadow of pain crossed her features, her e es closed, her lips twitched as if controlling an intense desire to speak to the man at her feet. His hands moved convulsively ; his long, glossv black hair fell down in disarray. She leaned over suddenly, softly, and hyster- ically laughed. At last, he said. Yes, she answered, it was a tight squeeze, wasn ' t it? I ' ll buy this pair, and you mav wrap up my nld shoes. Page Ihirfy-eu lu DOIN ' S IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Of all the (loin ' s I t-vt-r saw, I never saw (loin ' s (lid like our neighborhood done. Some how er other those words don ' t seem t ' ha e quite the right swing to ' em, but, any- how, they ' spress my feelings. You got to go some t ' keep up with our part o ' town anv ol ' da}-, but, say, aroun ' this time o ' the year we just put on a reg ' lar I aughlander show with a constant change of program. vSometimes Ma ' s inclined t ' think we ' re stagin ' Dante ' s Inferno, an ' Dad, he ' s convinced we ' re ju.st trvin ' t ' send him to Medical Lake. P.ut they ' re both wrong. The only thing that ' s the matter with us is that we ' re full o ' the ol ' Harry an ' we don ' t intend t ' keep him in storage. Now my sis is some kid. All in this world she ' s got t ' do is drink an ' be merry, an ' , t ' see her, you ' d think she had the weight o ' the worlcl on her shoulders. But don ' t think that I run my own family down. No, sir. I give her full credit for what she can do. She ' s one o ' these here three in one contraptions. To wind her up you twist her pigtail. Presto. She starts. Her tongue an ' hands an ' feet all fly at the same time. The object o ' the game is t ' stop her. You may be able to quiet the walking apparatus and break the clutch, but, oh, that instrument of speech. Like time an ' tide it waits fer no man. Personully I hate to see her talk so much. It ' s aw ful hard on her tonsils. I ' ve suggested that ma take her to a tonsorial artist but it don ' t seem to do much good. Rut say, you should have seen that kid when she had that classy part — oh boy. It was one o ' these here at homes when all the neigh- bors came over t ' get in on the free bread line and later gossip. Sis puts on the beeutifulest party dress and rebraids the pigtail for the seventh time of the daily dozen. I don ' t see how she stands it. I comb mine once a week and it nearly kills me. Ma did her bit when it came to dollin ' up, too. Fer awhile we v.as pretty scared, cause when we went in her room t ' ask if it was all right t ' take three helpings of refreshments, we found that she ' d turned into a mummy. Pier face was all muddy an ' crinkled and she couldn ' t even talk. Fir.st she ' d point to her face and then t ' the bottle u- stuff on the bed. Well, when I found oui what had ruined my ma I picked up that ol ' bottle an ' threw it as far as I could out o ' tht window. It was ma ' s Mineralva beauty clay and ii was my Waterloo. Mnally ma got past the preliminaries and got out her new afternoon frock. Then ,i wicked ol ' nail got in the way an ' ripped thi thing all the way up the back an ' a suddei- belious attack kept ma upstairs for a time. ' It was up to sis of the wild, wild, tongue ti entertain awhile. According t ' her custom she rose to the occasion. All sis had to do wuz serve cake and tea an ' let the company take care of themselves until ma came. She kept up a steady stream of con- versation, too. To each one .she told of ma ' sudden sickness, to each one showed the beeu- tiful party dress and the cute little pocket and t ' each one she repeated all the gossip that the previous one had told to her. Mrs. Sam Smith comes up and says in h;it high toned w-ay My deah child, you must thank your pooah sick mother foah that de- licious consomme. An ' sis says, Why Mrs. Smith that wasu ' i nothin ' but plain soup. Then she heard some body screaming an ' he ran as fast as she could over t ' the piano. When she got their Mrs. Archibald Higgins was singing. Sis forgot what the name of it was but she said that it sounded like the tum that the ol ' cow died of. Up she walks to Mrs. Archibald an ' tells her that she never could understand classical music anyway. She ' d liko something that had swing to it, something like Yes, We Have No Bananas. Finally ma comes down an ' relieves her of the resp(jnsibility. She goes an ' sits by a sweet looking lady who has an uncle who is a clown. The more she talks about circuses th( more the sweet dame talks about flowers. She says, I have a Wandering Jew in My Bed- room. Then sis says, Gee aint you scared to have him walkin around at night? Then all of a sudden an awful commotion l ' a(jf thirty-nine THE TAMARACK Ureezes into the room. Three o ' them wimen who ma was tryin ' to make the biggest impres- sion on start t ' gulp an ' choi e an ' raise the roof. An what do you think they were all a chokin ' on ? It was marbles ! Marbles. Honest lo goodness marbles. Ma ' s cake was full o ' marbles. Then it just (lawned on mc. I thought m sides was gonna .split. I laughed so hard. What d ' you think that kid sis o ' mine had done ? You know it just breaks her heart to have ine get the best o ' her. She ' s just like the old lady I heard ' bout once. The man an ' his wife had an ' argument an ' she was determined that scissors was more useful than knives. He said, Knives. She said, Scissors. ' He couldn ' t stand it any longer and threw her in the river. When she couldn ' t talk any more an ' was goin ' down she stuck up her lingers out o ' the water an ' wiggled ' em like a pair o ' scissors. Well, my sis is worse ' an that. When she saw me put all them dryed daddy-long-legs and spider legs in ma ' s spider leg tea she was just green. She loped an ' moped around all niornin ' . Last thing T heard her sa} ' before I went out, wuz, Say, ma, what kind o cake is that agoin ' t ' be ? An ' ma savs, That ' s goin ' to be marble cake. An ' you know, that kid went an ' took all my best immies and stuck in ma ' s at home cake. Well, finally, after ma had made about a hundred ' scuses an apologies and everybudy had made remarks about the llavor of the tea, sis ' s genius shown up again. Without tellin ' nobudy, sis had gone an ' put a piece in the paper sayin ' that we wuz de- sirous of bavin ' a cat an ' dog that could get along alright together. Then she goes an ' adds that ■e would like to have samples sent for inspection. Without lettin ' anybody in on the secret she had got about twelve pairs o ' cats an ' dogs up in the back bedroom. I don ' t know how it ever happened but all of a sudden into the valley of death came the two dozen. I never saw nothin ' like it before. I thought we wuz bavin ' a tornado. Cats fought dogs and dogs fought cat.-; an ' the whole bunch chewed an ' jumped on ma ' s company. I guess I don ' t need t ' say it didn ' t take them ladies long t ' get out of our house. An ' it sure wuz a sad world fer us mates. Ma wuz ruined fer life an sis wuz pullin ' her hair an ' nashin ' her teeth an ' I wuz doin ' my best to get them cats an ' dogs rounded up. Nobudy can tell me what folks mean when they say, It wuz rainin ' cats an ' dogs, I know. Then, pretty soon, the storm kinda calmed down an ' it wuz sis ' s turn to get refreshments. Ma said that she ' d be served upstairs an for desert ma gave, er, — but, ohgee, that ' s a dif- ferent story. An ' as I said before we sure do have some (loin ' s in our neighborhood. o — o A CAR johnny is a handsome boy And his car is very neat And all the girls just crowd around When Johnny takes his seat. -Oh Johnny deah !

THE TAMARACK Page forty FORENSICS Forensic activities in North Central were revived this semester with the inauguration of the Nortli Central Debate League. This league, under the direction of John Shaw, debate coach, was formed with the purpose in mind L iualfili.- ' Paylor, X iiKxiU Shiiiklc, Bernard Molohan of reviving interest in debating in North Cen- tral and of interesting the largest number of students possible in the benefits of debating. Eight teams, each with a captain and two learn members, were chosen and a schedule was drawn up so that every team would de- bate four times, twice on the affirmative and twice on the negative on the question, Re- solved : That the United States should enter the ' orld Court in accordance with the Hard- ing plan. I ' rom the outset, the league was a success. The students of the school showed great in- terest in the results of the frays, which were judged by members of the faculty, three for each debate. The groups of students who at- tended the debates, which were held after school, greatl - increased toward the close of the contest. Princijial Kennedy, to encourage interest in del)ating, early offered medals to the memljers of the winning team. This added incentive had the result of making some c f the debates very spirited. The schedule progressed until three teams remained in the running for the medals. Thesi teams were the ones captained by Hugh Chees man. Margaret Coughlin, and Vincent Shinkle. A sui-prise was sprung when the inexperienced team captained by Henry Olsen won a two to one decision over the Cheesman team. The race was then between the teams of Margaret Coughlin and Vincent Shinkle, and these two teams were to meet in the last debate of the league. The final deijate was hotly contested. The girls ' team, with Coughlin as captain, won a two to one decision over the boys ' team. Al- though Shinkles ' team lost their last debate to the girls, nevertheless they won the Ken- ned} medals. Up to the finaldebate, Shinkle ' , ' ; team had eight judges ' decisions and Cough- lin ' s team had six. So as a result of the final fray, the boys ' team had a total of nine de- cisions and the girls ' team only eight. As the winning team was chosen by the number of judges ' deci sions, Shinkle ' s team won the series of debates. The captains and members of the various teams, ranked according to the total number of decisions received are as follow : Vincent Shinkle, captain ; Bernard Molohon and Lavalette Taylor, 9. Margaret Coughlin, captain; Margaret Still and Luella Bruce, 8. Hugh Cheesman, captain; Eric Johnson and Joe Helphrey, 7. Henry Olsen, captain ; Elmo Starr and Donald Ross, 6. Hillis Henrv, cap- tain; Howard Whitney and Theodore Turner. -S. Harry Allen, captain; Kenneth Davis and Earl Swanson, 5. Weldon Schimke, captain: Francis J-Joesh and Philipp Callahan, 4. Don Cary Smith, captain; Ralph Gilbv and James Helphrey 4. The success of the first North Central De- bate fycague was so evident that it was decided to start another series of debates immediately. Out of this league were to be picked the par- ticipants of the Ahlquist Debates, both senior and junior. Both of the debates will be held in the spring semester, this year, instead of one in the fall and the other in the spring as has been the custom in former years. The prizes in the senior division are $40 and $25, and in the junior, $20 and $15. porte . . ' 4 Page forty-one THE TAMARACK FOOTBALL ■1 Though the scores of the past season on the gridiron show that North Central did not win all her games, it cannot be said that the season was not a successful one. The team won the first two games of the ' 23 schedule by overwhelming scores, but later was crippled because of the loss of the Red and Black cap- tain, Don Jones. ' i ' he last game before the annual Lewis and Clark battle was lost to Hillyard, but with careful coaching the team was quickly put into shape and they held the Tigers to a score- less tie. Prospects for next year ' s team are excep- tionally bright as only five lettermen will be lost by graduation. From all indications the Indians should go through the ' 24 season with a clean slate. The CoEi-R n ' Ai.Ene Game The North Central Indians under the second year of tutelage by C. E. Canup opened the 1923 gridiron season with a sweeping victory over the Coeur d ' Alene squad by a 54-0 score. During the first few minutes of the game the ball was over for the first count. Before the game had ended the ball had been shoved over for a total of .S4 points. The Red and Black presented a mid-season attack and be- wildered the Lake city team with their smash- ing offense. The entire backfield performed brilliantly and kept the Red and White on the defense most of the game. The Gonzaga Duel The North Central warriors were deter- mined to defeat all rivals and continued their winning streak by walloping the Gonzaga Hullpiips to the tunc of 49 to 13 in the college stadium. North Centrals ' crack backfield showed to advantage on the dry field. After a series of line bucks and end runs the first of the 49 points were tallied. Gonzaga ' s aerial attack was not successful ; they lost the ball on downs, and resorted to punting. Jones, Indian captain, was allowed to play in the game after the Gonzaga authorities had given their THK TAMARACK I age forty-twv consent. Jonts was also injured in the fjanie, suffering a sprained ankle. TiiK Wai.ua Walla Clash With Don Jones out of the lineup the fight- ing Ji raves lost to Wa-Hi for the second suc- cessive year by 18-7. Zimmerman ' s gang worked like a l)unch of veterans. Time after time the Blue and White skirted North Cen- tral ' s ends for good gains. The Red and Black seemed unable to solve the opponents ' offense and although they fought from the whistle to the final gun the could not check the Wa-Hi avalanche. .Macri, who substituted for Bost- wick at guard, played a stellar game, throwing the opposing backs for repeated losses. Han- ley, Indian halfback, made the only Redskin score on a wide end run. The Yakima Stki ggi.e Once again the fighting tribe of Red.skins went down battling when the Yakima gang of agebrushers handed North Central a hard- fought 7-0 defeat at Yakima. The two teams battled for two scoreless perirxls before a score was counted. Although outscored the Braves outi)la ed their ()i)i)(jnents, but Yakima took advantage of the only break of the game and used  hat break for a score. In the third quarter Schienost punted to Rohwer, the ball grazing the fingers of the Red and Black quarter. I.izotte, flashy Yaki- ma end, scooped up the pigskin and ran half the length of the field for the only score of the game. The Hillyard Contest In a game featured by fumbles and flukes the North Central Scalpers went down to a 27-12 defeat at the hands, or rather arms of the Hillyard Engineers. Practically all the scoring done by the Hillyard gang was the di- rect result of fumbles. Nevertheless Hillyard proved that she ranks with the other teams of this section. Following the ball during the entire contest the Boilermakers converted fumbles and blocked punts into scores and when the game ended the scoreboard showed that the Hill- yardites had 27 points to their credit. Hanley and McGrath played a stellar game for North Central while McCord and the Driskell brothers did the be.st work for Hillvard. The f,Ewis AND Clark Skirmksh Playing the most brilliant game of the sea- son without the services of Captain Don Jones, the Red and Black chieftans (for every one of tiiem is a chief) held the powerful Lewis and ( lark eleven to a tie. It was the first tie be- tween the ancient rivals and it was .scoreless. The majority of the 13,WXJ fans who witnesseil the game will never forget the gladiators whd fought four scoreless periods for the pigskin supremacy of the city. Such a brand of high school football had not been seen in mam years. With nothing to lose and everything to gain tile Redskins entered the Turkey day battk- with a keen determination to hold the famed Tigers by their whiskers — and the did. The hulians were fighting against heavy odds However, using defensive tactics and runniii: true to form North Central supporters wer .satisfied with the wonderful comeback stage. b_ - a team blemished with three defeats. The two teams battled on even term- throughout the contest with Meeker and Mc- Grath trying place kicks for points. Hanlev who played left half and McCrath who playeil right half did exceptional work in the backfield while Bostvvick and Lowery held the opposint; backs for no gains. Hogle and Curn- plaved the greatest game of their careers together on the wings, the hard tackling of Hogle being a feature of the game. -Meeker, Luck and Hilb did the best work for the Elder machine. o — o LETTER WINNERS, FALL ' 23 A block letter is the award given North Central ' s athletes who take part in an inter scholastic contest. This fall letters were given to football ])layers, cross countrv men and th( members of the girls ' tennis team. In order to win a letter in football a ho must play at least twelve quarters or the equi yalent of three games. Those who won letters in football this fall are: Don Jones, captain: Sdgerton Hogle, captam-eleci ; Forrest Curry. Leslie Maybee, Ed Lowery, Don Axtell, Pat O ' Neil, Carl Luecken, Jack Graham, Loren Haynes, Delbert Gildersleeve. Robert Prit chard, Leland Hanley, Ted Rohwer, Matthew Stevens, Claude McGrath, Tom Laird, Loui- Bostwick. Don Disotel, manager. Placing before the tenth opponent ' s man is recjuired of a cross country man before he i awarded a letter. Those winning letters ui cross country this year are: Waldo Harris, captain, George Anderson, Louis Ragsdalc. Howard McLaughlin, Wentzel Han.son. The North Central letter is awarded to each girl who wins the match from her opponent. Letters were awarded to the following girls this semester : Stella Pqwell, captain ; Mar- garet Hodgins, June McDonald, Ethel Ireland. EIna Anderson. I ' a !t ' forty-lhn-c THE TAMARACK CROSS COUNTRY L psettiiig prc-season dope the Lewis and Clark marathon rxinners took the Indian long distance men into camp by a 22-33 score. Waller Cornehl took the lead halfway through the race and maintained it to the finish, heating George Anderson, winner of the ' 22 race hy a small margin. The finish was doubtful but the judges decided that the Tiger runner w as the winner. The other eight men to finish in the fir t string were: Roy Martin, L. C, third; Wal- ter l- ' ry, L. C, fourth ; Don Burrus, L. C, fifth; Wcntzel Hanson, N. C, .sixth; Howard McLaughlin, N. C, seventh; Waldo Harris, N. C, eighth ; Elmer Myrene, L. C, ninth ; and Ed Funseth, L. C, tenth. The winner won the event in fast time in 7 minutes 10 and 4-.= seconds. North Central ' s prospects for a winning team next year are exceptionally bright with Ragsdale, McLaughlin, Hanson, Smith and Delong returning for future competition. ' I ' hose who received letters were Captain Waldo Harris, Howard McLaughlin, Louis Ragsdale, Wentzel Han.son and George Ander- son. John Smith was elected as captain of next year ' s squad. . () ICE CROSS COUNTRY Winning by an easy margin, Howard Mc- Laughlin captured first place in the annual novice race from a field of 32 runners, 15 of which were freshmen. Jack Lipscomb was se- cond and Gene Davidson third. The novice race is open to all students who have not won a letter in cross country or first place in any previous novice race. The run was held over the Stevens street course against a slignt wind. A gold medal is awartlcd the winner of first place, with silver and 1 r.mze medals for second and third place, respectively. The other men to finish in their order fol- low : Homer Seegar, fourth; Elmer Carlson, fifth; Art Rennett, sixth; Louis Ragsdale, seventh ; John White, eighth ; Phil Daniels, ninth; and Hillyard Johnson, tenth. ' J ' h( annual novice race is held to stimulate interest in cross country an ' .ong the boys iti the school v ' ho have not won previous recognition in that sport. o — o INTERCLASS CROSS COUNTRY In one of the most unevenly contested races ever staged at North Central , George Ander- (Continued on page 63) THE TAMARACK Pacie forty-fo: GIRLS ' BASKET BALL TEAM Left to right, front row.

Ns the school increased in size, many other organiza- lons were formed including a literary society, and therefore the aim of the Masque was limited to dramatics. Any student is eligible for mcml)crship in the Masque society. Members are chosen on their dra- matic ahility only. Each semester a tryout is held and the judges consist of the director of the club, a member of the faculty and the president of the club. This semester the club put on the Christmas eiucr- laiiuneul for the student body. The decorations and the type of the program were different from any before. Both the serious and the humorous sides of Christmas time were portrayed. The members of the club meet twice a month, one meeting being devoted to business and the other to social purposes. The society is attempting to put on a one-act play at each social meeting in order to give the members a chance to develop their talent. THE TAMARACK Page sixty-twu BOYS ' FEDERATION The Boys ' Federation of North Central higli school has taken two distinct steps forward this semester. The first of these steps have been taken with the idea in mind of l)rinj,nnfj North Central in closer touch with its alumni. The second step has been taken in an endeavor to improve the election system of the Federa- tion. In an effort to bring North Central in closer touch with its alumni, the Federation con- ducted the first Alumni day in the history of the school. Alumni day was held on Novem- ber 28, the day before the annual North Cen- tral-Lewis and Clark football game. On this day more than 150 former North Central stu- dents visited their alma mater. These alumni and former students were duly registered and tagged by a committee for that purpose. The Federation decided that Alumni day was so successful that it would be made an annual affair. A .system of registration for elections was inauguratetl by the P ' ederation this semester. Under this .system, all boys who wish to vote in the primary or general elections, are re- quired to register. This registration takes place during the first or first and second weeks before the primary election, which is also a new phase of Federation elections. Registration is made in books, one book for each class. Although the registration takes place at one place, the voting takes place at five places, according to the class of the voter. Nominations, under the new system, are made by the student body. This is done by the petition system. Any boy is eligible to cir- culate a petition for office in the Federation. Petitions for class representatives must be cir- culated by members of the class of which the boy being petitioned is a member. For an office, 50 signatures are re(|uire(l, and 15 for a class representative . This change was made in answer to the argument of some boys in school who .said that the council was self-perpetuating inasmuch as it nominated its own successors. In order to determine the nominees for of- fice or class representative, of the number of boys petitioned, a primary election is held, previous to the general election. In case su ficient petitions are not circulated for a parli cular office, the council will nominate some one of its own choosing. A week or two after the primary election, the general election is held. This election, like the primary, takes place at five points, ai cording to the class of the voter. These various changes in the Federation election system, were made this last semester ;i an experiment. If the new system proves sui cessful it will be continued. o — o PEP CARNIVAL The founii annual pep carnival was held under the aus])ices of the -Associated vStudent Joe Greenough councils on November 28, between the hour- of six-thirty and ten o ' clock p. m. The 1923 pep carnival was under the direc- tion of Joe Creenough, manager; Marcella Brainard, assistant ; Romine Ostrander, pro- gram committee ; Kenneth Grady, finance com- mittee; John Morrison, show committee; Jacl Fiific sixly-lhree THE TAMARACK Brassingtoii, publicity committee; and Lucille Tavlor, decoration committee. Total i ross receipts of the 1923 pep carni- val aiiKiunted to $1319.17, while expenses ap- proximated $700 ; leaving about $600 for dis- tribution among school organizations. This makes the fourth annual carnival by far the most successful financially of any ever staged and makes it one of the biggest enterprises of its kind in the west. The attendance at this year ' s carnival was 3,0(X). Maii new features were adopted at tlie 1923 pep carnival, one of them being the distribu- tion ot programs. Two thousand, five hun- dred programs were printed, each containing a directory of the concessions, the manage- ment, the histon- of the carnival, the disposi- tion of the funds, and an article concerning the crowning of the carnival queen. An additional feature was a twelve-piece jazz band which was rented from the North Central band and which played in all of the midways and in front of the various conces- sions. A novel attraction of the evening was the crowning of the carnival queen, Catherine Ro- binson. The success of this and past carnivals has ,-i-;sun ' d the continuation of them. ADDITIONAL SPORTS {Continued from paqe 4? ) son led the junior team to victorv in the annual interclass cross country race over the East Mission course. The seniors, sophomores and freshmen fi- nished in second, third and fourth places re- spectively, two points dividing the seniors and freshmen. The final score was juniors 3, seniors 14, sophomores 15 and freshmen U). No stop watch caught the time but J. Wes- ley ' s ticker said the boys were on the road 7 minutes and 3-5 seconds.

THE ART DEPARTMENT The Art department of North Central, under the direction of Lillian Stowell has done a large amount of work this semester. All the scenery for the operetta was designed and painted by the .students enrolled in the art work. The students also designed the posters for the pep carnival and those advertising the operetta, the class play, and the clean-up-the- grounds campaign. They also drew the post- ers which are hanging in the cafe advising tlie students which are the best kinds of foods to choose for their lunches. The students in tiic design classes have turned out some very well designed pieces of jewelry. The Tamarack acknowledges the commend able work which the department did in laying; out the designs for the title pages of the Tam- arack. o — o I ' aiic sixty-miie SENIOR CLASS GIFT THE TAMARACK The class of January 1924 will leave as their ilift to North Central a 90-foot steel flag pole.

It was, then, with a smile of reassurance that he leaned hack in the chair of his six hv eight office, placed his rather extensive feet on the battered desk and con- templated the only spot on the wall w-hich of- fered a relief from the fingermarked and much cracked plaster. The spot which attracted the attention of the soon to be famous detective was a small sign, which proclaimed through its ink spots the following words: The murderer always returns to the scene of his crime. A very likely .saying, thought Detective Calla- han. This idle contemplation was broken by the resounding voice of Captain Donovan ; Calla- han ! On deck ! With a firm and heavy step the would-be sleuth entered the big chief ' s office.

Thou hast not any wind that blows Which is not music — every weed of thine Pressed rightly — flows in aromatic wine: And every humble hedgerow-flower that grows And every little brown bird that doth sing Hath something greater than itself, and bears A living word to every living thing, Albeit it holds the message unawares. All shapes and sounds have something which is not Of them : a spirit broods amid the grass ; Vague outlines of the everlasting thought Lie in the melting shadows as they pass ; And touch of an eternal presence thrills The fringes of the sunset and the hills. — Richard Realf I R L I I : S 1 2 l 3 H Q i 2 2 5 B 4 if fx .6w ?'5T,,, ' k H-1 , ' 1, A ff' if 1' , -A - J,,-fyxf- Q 'iff Y A I A X , if I , 5' If 1 f - V f if A :sem .

COBAI ' N Scientific course BERTHA A. GEPPERT Commercial course Girls ' League honor roll THE TAMARACK Page thirty-two CLASS HISTORY Just four years ago, there came Unto this portal of learning, A band of youthful boys and girls. Whose ambition was to seek For themselves, knowledge of books And life, and bird and beast. Hard they studied that first year. While ' round them they gazed in awe, For such a sight they had never seen Of humanity that almost trampled them In the wild rush to get to classes. And be there on the appointed time. Soon they were Sophomores proud, and Just as haughty as they could be, For now they could tease and torment The Freshmen, which they had been before. Soon they entered into work of League, Federation and other school activities. Another year rolled along for these folks. So young and happy and free of care. Soon they were Juniors, and around the bend. They saw the sun f)f (Graduation slowlv Rising from the distant hill tops; They wished the da_ ' might never come. Students on the road to Flunkville Waited patiently for the band to come along, And when the group arrived, the bovs and girls From Flunkville demanded admittance unto the class. And the - were granted leeway ; so peace and Calm reigned over this loyal group. John Carpenter, a boy of high school fame. And alleged to hold the marathon record For ears spent in high school, decided That it was time to leave, and he, to The amazement of the rest of the school, Wa.s announced as a candidate for graduation, Da s sped on faster than they knew. And the .sun was almost in the high heavens ; Then did the scholars realize they were Sen- iors ; They did organize, two hundred and twenty. So they say, and chose unto them a director, Miss Greenberg, lest they should go astray. A president, John Morrison, was selected By the class, to be their first leader. To help them over the rough spots in the road ; In honor of the departing Seniors Tlie (lid entertain at a DeMolay play given In the school auditorium. An insignia was selected, a guiding spirit, A hope to look up to, an inspiration for Those sad Seniors who were now spending Their last days in the halls of happiness. This portal of learning where they had Romped together for many a happy day. By diligent toil they soon found Themselves to be Senior A ' s, And selected T. O. Ramsey, a gentleman Of honor, to lead them down The remainder of the pathway that Led to graduation and the future. A new class president, Gordon Cross, was se- lected To head the band, strong and mighty ; And as one looks through the long list of Members of the class, he sees that they have Left their mark on the athletic field. In League, Federation, News and the Countless other school activities. Then came the time for them to leave. And on that eventful night, their diplomas They received, two hundred and twenty C)f them, so they say ; ' twas the largest ' Class that had departed from that noble school ; They left with a pang in their hearts. They are gone but not forgotten, and in The hearts of the students whose time Will come, there lingers a memor} ' of those Departed members of the class of June ' 24, Who have made their niche in this dear Old school that all have learned to love. As those students look back upon The days of their high school life. They pause in Life ' s journey, and yearn Again for those days spent in that dear Old Xorth Central high, murmuring To themselves, It was not in vain, those Four years, dear Red and Black. LILLIAN HUGHES HARRY J. HESSLEIN y ' a f thirty-three THE TAMARACK CLASS WILL Being here assembled together and feehng that to posterity should come the remains of our earthly sojourn and the trinkets and rem- nants thereof, and that it is utterly befitting that the world should long note and remember what we have done here, we now bestow, after due consideration and forethought, the fol- lowing : Item I. Reed Benient leaves his expositors- writing, How to Act Grown Up, to the freshie boys; let us hope that they use this information to an advantage. Item II. Kenneth Grady and Joe Helphrey wish to leave their ability as stage-door John- nies to Nerval Rader and Loren Haynes. Good luck, fellows ! Item III. The school ' s main foundation ( ?), Harold Darst, bequeaths his great responsi- bility to Warren Gorman. Then Buss will be what he thinks he is now ! Item IV. Rebecca McHenry and Dorothea Oien wish to leave to Mary Allison and Wil- helmina Reaunie all their kindly wishes. We know it isn ' t much, girls, but times are hard ! Item V. Palmer Dorsey Koon leaves his be- loved Helen Betty Brooks to the young bucks around the school with the admonition, Hands Off! Item VI. Leona Flynn leaves that school- girl complexion of hers to Madolyn Dever- eaux. Spike, step up! Item VII. Gordon Cross, John Morrison and Walt McLean bequeath their non-rivaled popularity with the fairer sex to Joe Green- ough and Brick Graham. ITE r VIII. We had almost decided to leave that pecular attraction that Georgia Eells and Marcella Brainard have for the boys to Babe Bush and Alice Elliott, but we were afraid they wouldn ' t appreciate it. Item. IX. We leave a certificate of remem- brance to the Girls ' League from John Andrist because he is so grieved that he will have to leave that organization to shift for itself, now that he is giving up active control. He always wanted to join that society. Item X. Willis Merriam has asked that we le • ve to Kenneth Davis his oratorical and sing- ing ability. We wonder if Merriam can whistle yet? Item XI. We leave the uniquely formed lower limbs of Pat O ' Neill to anyone aspiring to the position of page in a Roman comedy. Item XII. We thought we ' d have to leave John Graham and John Carpenter to the future senior A class as the past three or four classes have done, but they seem to have some unex- pected pull. Never mind! We ' ll leave Don Disotel instead. Item XIII. Helen Johnson, Jessie Grobe, Verne Peterson and Arnold Abbeal did not come through with enough money to buy their publicity. Graduation does cost a heck of a lot. Sorry folks! Item XIV. Last but not least we leave our gratitude to the faculty for endeavoring, at least, to wake us from our stupid childhood sleep. We hate to leave old North Central to the doubtful mercies of the dumb-bells that are to follow us, but graduate we must ! Witness this day, June 12, 1924, Spokane County Humane Societv. KATE CUNDY, Clerk of Supreme Court HE TAMARACK Page thirty-four CLASS PROPHECY A newspaper clipping from the Spokane Press for .March 10, 1940, revealed the follow- ing astounding facts ■ The first performance of the season of the rejuvenated Laughlanders, under the direction of J. Forest Holmes, Esq., took place in the new Whitney and Henderson theatre, yesterday. The show began at 6:30. As the curtain rose, the orchestra, among whose members, were those former artists of old high school days, Bill Oien, Helen Os- wald, Dorothy Frost, Elizabeth Jordan, Waldo Harris, Homer Seeger and leader. Tiny Rob- inson, the old Cannibal Queen, played the thrilling strains of Red and Black, the song which in recent years has become famous. The first act was the singing of church hymns by the young Prima Dona, Maudine Bartshe, and Gordon Cross. These hvmns were interpreted by the graceful dance move- ments of Rebecca McHenry and V erne Peter- son. In the supporting chorus were Helen Johnson. Thelma McGinnis. Gerald Calhoun, John Graham and Elizabeth Pefley. The next act. which was greeted by a volley of over-ripe tomatoes and rotten eggs, was a ventriloquist stunt by Harry Hesslein. He talked to a ' ' wax-like doll ?f his knee. Th;- n close inspection, to be the demure little Kate Cundy. who had been Harrv ' s most ardent admirer in their former days at North Central. The next play was a one-act ■ ' Palm Beach -etting- It featured t! ■ ' e four main roles were -i .t:. , . el. Harold Darst, Leona Flvnn and J. Patrick O ' Xeill, the famed Sw edish actor. In pursuit was a large num- ber of policemen, among whom were Robert Clifford, Robert Archer and Willis Merriam. Said policemen were being exhorted to greater haste by the frantic efforts of the parents, Lillian Hughes and Richmond Eraser. Thun- derous applause followed this brief tragedy. Number four was an athletic act by P. D. Koon the famous clog dancer. It was well received by the audience, especially well in one section, where a pretty little girl, addressed as Helen Betty by her associates, stood upon her seat and shouted, At ' y old boy, P. D. old boy ! .As a grand finale, Gordon McLean intro- duced his famous Musical Review Bill Bif- fington ' s Babies featuring Georgia Eells, vio- lin and leader; Marion Clifford, sousaphone; John Morrison, Jews ' harp; Marian Leslie, trap drummer; John Carpenter, phonograph; Leonard Erickson, fife; and Walter McLean, the strolling yodeller. Slowly the lights melted, like the butter in an African desert, the music boomed forth like a fog-horn on a Swiss battle-ship, and the six Waltzing Wonders, Hugh Tingling and Katherine Duerfeidt, Mel- vin Smith and Irene Jones, Laurence Mauser and Lillian Jackman tripped to the latest waltz hit, That ' s Where My Money Goes, ■ ' i Joe Helphrey and Kenneth Grady sing . as they wait at the stage door. l ive minutes later, as the audience was filing out, a riot was caused by the accidental rising of the curtain which disclosed a com- petent mixed stage crew, namely — Isabel Flot- ten, Frank Glomb (in the act of moving a piano off the stage j, Marilyn Mead, Theda Lomax, Dale Kerr and Llovd Loffler.

Green Business Advisor JUNE, 1924 THE DEATH OF KWASIND Who among us has not heard of the strong man Kwasind, immortalized to us by the pen of Longfellow, from the legend of the Indian? According to the tradition Kwasind was a great and mighty hunter. His enormous strength enabled him to grapple with the great bear of the mountains single handed, to hurl aside the trees that fell across the path in the wake of the thunder stonn and to pitch the black rock of the hill tops into the rushing torrent of the river. No man dared compete with Kwasind. He superseded all the others. He incurred the jealousy of the Puk-Wudjies, the little people of the forest, the pigmies of the woodlands. Thev conspired against his life. They learned the secret manner in which he might be killed. Accordingly the little people gathered together the seed cone of the pine tree and the blue cone of the fir tree. These they heaped on the river ' s margin, where the red rocks, jutting, over- hung the river, and there they lay in wait for Kwasind. Down the river came the strong man, came the mightiest of his people; in his birch canoe came sailing. The sultry summer air rocke l him into dreams. Underneath the wooded headlands, sailed the great man Kwasind. The crafty Puk-Wudjies were waiting for him. As he passed they threw the pine cones upon his defenseless crown and the mighty hunter. sideways fell into the river and was never seen again. How few of us, as we read the classics of the ages, ever stop to apply them to our modern life. How few of us realize that the death of Kwasind is and has been enacted through all the years of civilized history, at various times. A Christ with a dream of uni- versal l rotherhood, a Caesar with an imperial Rome, a Socrates in Greece, a Lincoln with a nation to preserve and a constitution to up- hold, a Wilson with his dream of world peace and a League of Nations, are but a few con- crete examples. It is one of the misfortunes of humanity that so many of our great men, our idealists, should he held down by the petty hands of the Puk-Wudjies, the little people — but we find it everywhere, and such is human nature. PHILOSOPHY OF HAPPINESS Most serious minded people nowadays seem to agree that the pursuit of happiness is one of the most powerful potencies in the alchemy of life. There may be those who see the sub- ject in a different light. Well and good. Has not Socrates said that two men may see the same subject in different lights and both be in the right? When you attempt to analyse the philosophy of life, you find ourself face to face with a strange situation. Why does life exist? Wh}- Page ihirty-nine THE TAMARACK do generations come and go, each donating its cell to the coral reef of progress? Two schools of philosophers immediatly arise from the question ; those who say we are here be- cause others have come and gone and have contributed their knowledge to the world, and those who say that because there yet remains much to be done, we are here. Now the question of why people in the past have striven to progress the race, and why people in the future will continue to do so arises. The answer seems to be one that bespeaks of the selfishness of the human race. Happiness is the motive behind all progress. Yet at the same time, to get happiness, we must forget happiness and we must make an end of selfishness. To the hasty critic this seems to be a contradiction, but further thought will show that it is correct. There are many ways to acquire happiness, but the best way lies through work. Men are reall}- happy only when engaged in doing a service that will benefit themselves or their friends. When six-cylinder happiness fails, when money and station seem empty, work of the kind that has the greatest appeal to one is the only thing that will really bring happi- ness. Men may search the world over for happi- ness and never find it. Men may lure it with gold and honors, but it remains just out of reach like the fruits of Tantalus. After the search has wearied and the chase grown still and the hunters have returned with empty bag and heavy heart, how often they find that the Bluebird of happiness awaits them on their own doorstep. The world is so full of a number of things, I ' m sure we should all be as happy as kings. WE WHO PASS Where art thou, Muse, that can lend char- acter to our pen at such a time as this, when we must leave our Alma Mater and our friends and cast our lot in the lists of material life. The youthful mind, they tell us, turns ever toward the future. Yet there is no youthful mind that is devoid of emotion. Emotion is born of love, and we who pass beyond the scope of high school life, have learned to love our friends and our school. Parting makes us momentarily sad — a sadness entirely uncalled for. Though we may be scattered as the leaves in autumn, the guiding spirit of North Central is always with us. The call has gone forth, born upon the wings of necessity, for men of thought and men of action, to clear the way and sow the seed. The midnight darkness is changing in- to gray. Who can tell what unimagined glories await the dawning tongue and pen directed by an honest brain We can only rest assured that the invaluable training we have received in the classrooms of North Cen- tral will aid us to become the men and women of action that the world is training for its future leaders. When the fruit is ripe it needs must fall; such is the law of nature. The class of June ' 24 must graduate and scatter its virtues through the world. Other classes will come, boasting as great or greater honors than our own. We wish them luck, for they represent the spirit of North Central. To those who remain behind us, our greatest sentiment is this: To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. Else we who pass can never sleep and rest our heads in peace. SPRING POETRY The birds are singing in the tree. Pee wee, pee wee, pee wee, pee wee. The daisies in the meadow bloom. And all the world is quite in tune. Pee wee, pee wee, pee wee. Oh see the peddler in the street To weet, to weet, to weet, to weet. And if I write another line. This poetry will be just fine, — Complete, complete, complete.

Xeal Lamson, Margaret Houchins, Advertising manager Everett Le Pray Faculty business a.lvisor Ernest E. Green Fage forty-one THE TAiMARACK CHASING STREET CARS Jean Craig was puzzled. She was very puz- zled. In fact, she was extremely perplexed. Desperately in love with Wayne Ciray, she deeply resented the coldness with which he received her affections. Oh, yes, of course, he was always polite and friendly enough. But what was that: Jean demanded prompt re- turns. Wayne did not give them. And there was the rub. Accustomed to sympathy, she finally re- rted as usual to the one safe and sure source f comfort, her mother. .Mother, I just have to tell you something. What is it, dear? I ' m in love with Wayne Gray. Yes. Why, mother, you don ' t seem at all sur- prised. I ' m not. You mean that you already knew it? Certainlv. Oh, Mazook. Please don ' t let me hear you call me that name again. It sounds so unrefined even if it is a pet hobby of yours. Don ' t you know by this time that mother knows your thoughts almost as well as you do? Yes, I ' ve known for some time that you like Wayne. Is that what ) ou wanted to tell me ? Well, not exactly. It was one of the things, uut you seem to know that already. The whole trouble is that I don ' t mean any more to W ' avne (.rav than a cloud on a summer dav. Yes. For goodness sake mother don ' t talk that ay. It sounds just like a death knell! Y ' es ! e-;! You don ' t mean to say that you knew lat too? No, this is the first I had heard of it. Do you think that there is something ter- il)lc the matter with me? What can it be? wonder if it ' s my pug nose, or that big mole n the back of my neck or my long fingers r my unsliingled hair? . ever let me hear about your long fingers sain. Your hands are beautiful. And if your houghts and actions are sweet and you carry ' Hirself erectly all the little defects that you lay have are offset. It ' s not lecturing that I want at all — just mpathy. My little girl, this is once when I can not sympathize w ' ith you. I do not know what the trouble is. Oh, mother, why doesn ' t he like me? What is the use of running after a street car when _ ou ' ve already caught it? I don ' t know what you mean. I shan ' t tell you. Think it over. And this was Jean ' s puzzle. What did mother mean? She thought of all the times that either she or Wayne had run after street cars. Then a bright idea struck her. How perfectly silly to waste good time on such an apparently senseless remark. It was absolute- ly incoherent. How much more sensible to think about something worth while, something pleasant. Curled up at the foot of the bed in her own cozy bedroom Jean opened her math book. There were twenty problems in the assign- ment. It took concentration to accomplish a task like that. In four and one-half minutes the first problem was done. In six, the second was finished. In the middle of the third her thoughts wandered. What was Wayne doing now? Did he have his math ? Should she call up and see if he needed help? No. That wouldn ' t be proper at all. Better to get her ow n first. She waded through one more prob- lem and again found herself thinking of Wayne. Thereupon she changed the subject. Next came history. She read about the Virginia campaign and the battle of York- town. When she reached Greene Springs in safety she stopped long enough to give herself an encouraging pat on the back. Fine w ' ork. Then she turned the page and, lo, there rested on the opposite page the innocent picture of La Fayette. How much it resembled Wayne. Yes, Wayne had such noble features and such a romantic nose. He should have been a Revo- lutionary leader. And she .should have been a nurse. Wounded, he would be brought to her hospital post. There would be long plea- sant days while he was recuperating, a .short engagement, an aeroplane elopement. Oh, what inconsistency. ( et thee behind me Satan! vehemently commanded Jean. This is no place for me. And she folded her books like the Arabs and as silentlv crept away, away down to the tele- phone. If I don ' t hear Wayne ' s voice before long, I shall simply dry up and blow away, — and I THE TAMARACK Page forty-tivo don ' t think he ' d care one snip if I did. Any- wa , here goes, silently wailed Jean. Burlington 3015. Oh, what a feeling of suspense. Again she took a dose of inward consolation. I know not what others may do, but as for me, give me Wayne or give me death. Her little reverie was interrupted at this juncture by a voice coming from the receiver. Whose voice was it? Let the voice repeat itself half a dozen times and maybe she would know. Hello, hello, — hello. Yes, we have no ba- nanas. . nd the receiver at the other end of the line was slammed down with a bang. If at first vou don ' t succeed, tr , tr again. Burlington 3015. Hello. Hello. Ma}- I speak to Wayne Gray, please ? ' This is Wayne, speaking. This is Jean Craig. Oh, es. How are 3 ' ou ? Fine. What are you doing? Trying to get a rest. Going out to-night. Suppose you ' d rather not talk to me then. Better go in and lie down again. I didn ' t have an thing else to do, so I thought I ' d call you up. Call upon me as a last resort, eh? Yes. I thought I ' d fool you at first and pretend I was someone else, but I changed my mind. You couldn ' t fool me. I ' d know your voice an where. Just watch me catch you. You couldn ' t. I could, too. You could not. Do you want to hear our new record? That ' s what I really called you up for. I like this particular piece because it sounds like you. It does? Let ' s have it then. You ' ll have to wait while I move the vic- trola. I don ' t want to hear it if vou have to do that. Will you wait ? You can fix it and then call me up again. I don ' t like to call boys. It isn ' t quite the nicest think to do. What did you call me for then? Because I — Will you wait? Oh, I suppose so. You don ' t have to. You ' re too cranky. Goodbye. This time it was Jean ' s receiver that slammed. She had certainly ruined her repu- tation and received not the smallest particle of satisfaction in return. She sincerely hoped that somtthing wcnild happen to one or the other of them before morning and that she might never have to see him again. Now her mournful train of thought was broken by the arrival of the postman. He brought several letters. Among them, one for her. It was addressed in a carefully penned hand to Miss J . Craig. The stamp had been stuck on upside down. It must be from a boy. Sure enough. It was from Master Horace Gohogan. Why couldn ' t that boy come and talk face to face with a lady ? It would be much pleasanter to converse with him than to have to peruse one of his lengthy manuscripts, sealed and signed in a masterly- fashion. His name alone was enough to prejudice anyone. At any rate, at the end of mam flowery phrases, Horace Gohogan had finally- come around to the object of his message — permis- sion to call. The young man had considered it an act of genius to set the date for the same day that the postman wf)uld deliver the letter so that a refusal would be impossible. With a woman ' s intuition Jean saw Horace ' s plan of social strategy, and firmly decided that she would not be at home to Mr. Gohogan that afternoon. After the newness of the suri)rise had worn off she fell back to grieving over the failure of her previous undertaking. Thinking the conversation over she decided that she would just show Wayne that she could deceive him. With determination she strode to the phone. Burlington 3015. Hello— hello. Number, please? This phone rang, central. Will you excuse it, please? Energetically she hung up the receiver and strode away with the air of a conqueror. After lunch Jean dressed up in her pretty pink frock, took her books and sat down for a pleasant afternoon. She had no sooner opened the history book and landed at Greene Springs than the doorbell rang. With alacrity she jumped out of sight. Precaution was the watch word. Slowly she crept to the window and peeked out. There was a man with some sort of a box in his hand. Of course it was the marsh- mallow man. He was so generous. She opened the door with glad expectation, and there stood Horace. The box contained records which he thought Page foriy-tliree THE TAMARACK ic might lil e to hear because they sounded ke her. Well, she didn ' t want to hear them or any- ling else that had am thing to do with Horace. You know, Jean, he said, I don ' t think it as just the proper thing for me to send that ote to you the way I did. I ' m sorry. What did you sent it for then? Because I wanted to. Poor Jean sat patiently through a long and oresome afternoon. She was perfectly de- ighted when Horace finally made up his mind I) go. She did not like him at all, never had, lever would. She could not understand why le persisted in wasting his affections on her. Silently she sat for a long time wondering ibout Horace, trying to analyze his thoughts, ning to look upon the matter from his point f view. Suddenly a thought struck her. Light seemed to dawn. At last she saw through the meaning of that puzzling remark. What ' s the use of running after a street- car when you ' ve already caught it. Why hadn ' t someone told her before. She would show her mother that she did under- stand her meaning by her actions. It was hard at first, ever so hard. She ac- cepted all of Horace ' s attentions. He was so wcjndcrfully nice to her. She really d id grow to like him. Within two months she could honestlv say that Wayne (.ray didn ' t mean any more to her than a cloud on a summer day. One evening, answering the phone, Jean was surprised to hear a familiar voice. May I have the pleasure of your company at the Senior Prom? I ' d rather take }ou than any other girl I know. Yes, Wayne. WHO WON ? Alliema ne was in love with him. There ,vas no doubt about that. You could just tell iiy the way they looked at each other, that mar- riage would be the final outcome. And then came the night when he had asked ier to marry him and she had sighed and said, But Callieope, dear, you hasn ' t got a good cnuf job to keep us both. I shorely is the most fondest of you than anyone else which IS, but us has got to have somethin ' to live on and somethin ' to live in. And Callieope had gone away sick at heart. Yet he knew she was right. Fifteen dollars a week wouldn ' t keep him and his dusky bride from starvation. Right then he determined to quit his old job and seek a new one. Allie- mayne was his only conception of complete happiness, and he was ready to risk all in order to win her. Two days later after much tramping of streets and cussing of luck, he secured a job at the Mississippi Macaroni works, producers of high grade macaroni, A. L. Quinn, pro- prietor. He resolutely began to save enough money to make the first payment on the home he and Alliemayne had selected. Week after week he toiled in the heat of the macaroni mill, and then— enter the villain. It was a hot humid evening. After the six o ' clock whistle blew, he wandered aimlessly down the street singing happily to himself. Didn ' t he ha c a rijihl to he hapjn . l ur, wasn ' t he, Callieope B. Happy, to marry the most wonderful girl in all the world in a few short months? ' Po be sure. While he was thus engaged in thought he saw a sight which struck him senseless. He stared, blinked and swal- lowed a lump in his throat. Yes, it was true. There, across the street, just entering the Good Eats Cafe with a flashily dressed young man was his beloved Allie. With another man! How could it be! Yet there was the unmis- takable evidence, sitting at a table with his Allie. Callieope was dazed. Who was this dude, this intruder who was stealing his be- loved ? Into Callieope ' s heart crept a desire for re- venge, a longing to stretch his fingers around the neck of this girl stealer. He decided to wait for this man and follow him, follow him to the end of the earth to avenge this evil deed. The rest of that evening was a nightmare to Callieope. He followed them to the theatre, an ice cream parlor and to her home. He had seen him kiss her hand, bid her good night and walk down the steps. Now was his chance. He followed him along a well lighted street. Not once did the man leave the busy street, with hundreds of people on it. He followed him to a fashionable hotel and heard him tell the boy to carry his coat to room 341. Cal- lieope wandered about for a few minutes to give the man a chance to get settled in his THE TAMARACK Page forty-four room. Twenty minutes later he knocked at tlie door of room 341. A loud snore answered his knock. It was of little use to try to wake a man who . nored like that. Disgusted, Callieope left for his room where he slept until seven the next morning. Then he went to the hotel and knocked at the door of room 341. This time he was answered by absolute silence. The door was locked. He found the landlady and asked where this man was. Boss, he done left heah early this mawn- ing, an ' said he wouldn ' t be back. I dunno where he went. Until six o ' clock that night he wandered up and down looking for a short flashily dressed man. At length, disheartened, he entered the C(jrner Pool and Lunch Room, slunk into a chair, and sleepily blinked his eyes. Several hours later he was awakened by the sound of angry voices in the rear of the room. Boy, unlessen you pays me dat ten berries right now, vou is gonna leave on de next train foah Hades. Say, how dares }ou insinuate dat I owes you ten bucks? How come, niggah, how come? Didn ' I win dat last throw? Callieope walked interestedly over to the angry man. Suddenly he caught his breath sharply. Wasn ' t that, — yes, it was. There could be no mistake. It was the one man in the world he hated above ever thing else. W ith anticipation of quick revenge he waited, tactfully, like a cat watching its prey. The two men argued and cursed. Then, in a fit of in- tense anger, the smaller man, Callieope ' s ene- nn , struck his antagonist a terrific blow on the chest. Instantly the big man whipped himself into action. What a fight followed. The heavier put all his weight into his blows, l)ut the smaller man was a better boxer. He struck like lightning with well placed, even blows. As Callieope stood watching, he noticed the long slender fingers, the clas.sy clothes, the quick, evil looking face of the smaller man. A flash of understanding crossed his face. Fingers like that could be employed in only one business. A smile crossed Callieope ' s face. Here was a chance — here was an oportunity to make things square with this man. As the fight continued the smaller man plainly had the advantage. Then with a last hard blow- on the chin the little fellow knocked out his opponent. He then put on his coat and walked away. Callieope followed him out, down a maze of twisted streets and watched him enter an old rickety lodging house. Callieope stepped into a dark way across the street and waited. There must be no fumbling now. He gritted lii- teeth. This dude, this girl stealer must be don. away with. For long hours he waited. Thei slowly, .softly, the door opened and the mar came out, attired in a l)lack hat and a lon ; heav overcoat, the pockets of which saggei: suspiciously. The man had a stealthy hunted sneaking look in his eye. He cre[)t up the streei and along a dark alley. The man paused befon a dark entrance and listened. Callieopv watched, — watched the man take fn m hi pockets several instruments and insert them in the lock. For fifteen minutes he worked Then he turned the knob, pushed open tht door, and entered. He slowly walked between a row of mahogony desks and up to a large circular steel door, ten feet in diameter. Above the door a big clock noisily ticked out the minutes. The man shoved a desk against the door and stood upon it. With quick experienced hands he cut away the steel cover- ing of the clock with an oxy-hydrogen blow torch. Then he in.serted a small metal device in the mechanism of the clock, jumped off the table and pulled it hack out of the way. Meanwhile Callieope had softly entered and was watching every move the man made from behind a conveniently located desk. He glued his eyes on the clock, which began to whir in a peculiar manner. Two minutes later with a sharp click, the giant steel door swung open. The man .sprang into the vault and busied himself with its contents. For two minutes Callieope watched as if dazed. Then .some- thing happened. Slowly, silently, perfectly balanced on its hinges, the great door swung shut. With a resounding click the bolts shot into their sockets. The same instrument which had opened the door had now closed it auto- maticall — an immense time clock. The time for action had come. Callieope shoved the desk in front of the door, jumped upon it, and removed the small device he had seen his enemy insert a few minutes before. The whir- ring stopped, the clock resumed its regular ticking. The door would not open for two hours, at least. This done, Callieope sped out of the door and down the street. A few min- utes later a patrol wagon noisily clanged its way to the First National Rank of Mississippi. At ten o ' clock the next morning the bolts of the door clicked and it swung open revealing a frightened, pale-faced man. He was claimed by the law, and taken to reckon with justice. Callieope retired to his room for a long restful sleep. When he awoke it was late in the day. As he was ready to leave for supper he heard a light knock at the door. When he opened it Fane for ty- five THE TAMARACK in swept Allie, her face beaming with smiles. In one hand she carried an afternoon paper. Oh, Callieope, how wonderful, she said. Now you is famous. While they were talking, a messenger hoy entered hearing a letter for Callieope. As he opened it a folded piece of paper fell to the lloor. Allie picked it up and read, Pay to the order of Callieope B. Happy, five thousand dollars, I). A. Smith, President First National Bank. Am] the next day the Justice of the Peace had a job. Xow the question is, who won? The man who was sentenced to ten years in the pen or the poor guy who got married ? Onlv time will tell. ONE OF VAN ' S TROUBLES Vou would suspect, if you saw old Van Ver- non once, that all kinds of unusual trouble came his way, and you would see that he was a nut of the deepest die. You might see him for the first time some Sunday morning in church, while the minister preached on, winking at the sober little boys, and wiggling his ears at the prim little girls, in the opposite corners of the church, — and on and on raved the minister, none the wiser. Or you might see him for the first time Saturday night strol- ling down towards the fisherman ' s hut, until he came to the freshly-caught net of struggling tish, where, pausing, he would calmly dump them all back into the water after which he would always pay the angry little fisherman handsomely, although, as the ladies of the town would tell ou, he could little enough afford it. In fact, you would know he was a nut if you saw him sitting on the doorstep, fast asleep. The first thing you would notice would be his hair, the left side of which was wliite, while the right side still hangs on to a good deal of its natural blackness. The second thing would be his peculiar face, the appear- ance of which would altogether depend upon where and when ou saw it. And the third would be his well known dress suit, which he would have on no matter when or where you saw him, — for the truth is it was his only one, given to him seven years ago by his maiden sister to wear on her wedding day, which he graciously did. Afterwards he tried to dispose of it by offering it to a tramp, who said, Please, sir, I would rather have the one you Iiave on. And poor generous Van, giving it to him, was stuck for a dress suit the rest of his ' ■fe. I have accounted for his wearing apparel, now for his hair. The story goes that his maiden sister grew greatly alarmed when she •aw his hair had turned white, for a younger brother with gray hair does not add to your youth you know. Knowing that he would never dye it she undertook the task one day when he was sleeping. She colored the right side a beautiful black before Van awoke. Never mind what he said but she never finished her task, and you see the left side is white to this day. li you don ' t want to believe this you can be- lieve what Van told a little girl who told the whole story to his face, asking if it were true. He said, Oh, no, my dear. You see I have to do so little worrying on the right side of m head that it never got gray like the other side. Having accounted for his hair and wearing apparel I suppose I ought to account for his face. Well, I can only say as I have said about his suit, it was the only one he had. After you had seen him once and voiced your suspicion that trouble must be continual- ly blocking his path — if I were there I should tell you of one trouble that would even make the undertaker smile. About five years after Van ' s sister married, during which time he had kept house all alone, she wrote that she would soon have the plea- sure of visiting him. For the first time, poor Van thought about house cleaning, and nobly decided to clean out the whole house, when he had a spare half hour. So about fifteen minutes before the anticipated arrival of his sister, he rolled up the sleeves of his full dress coat, hunted all over for the broom, finall ' found the mop stick, and descended to the cellar, for he woultl do his cleaning thoroughly, if you please, starting from the bottom up. When he got down there he remembered forgetting to bring a pail of water, and decided to (If) a kind of drv cleaning process, which didn ' t do very well, especially as he noticed there Avjisn ' t any rag in the mop stick. Here THE TAMARACK l age forty-six he became disgusted and decided to leave the floor alone. He would just clean out all of the rubbish. Over there was an ancient cider barrel, with about two inches of cider in it, and filled with a lot of old cherry pits original- ly put there to flavor it. This he brought out and dumped into the chicken yard, where he kept his pet turkeys of which he was very fond, having said indeed that the two things he liked best in this world were children and turkeys, of the two he liked turkeys best be- cause they remained turkeys to the bitter end. He was just coming back from the yard when his sister arrive l and you may be sure that she took up the house cleaning where he left off hardly waiting to remove her gloves. It was a most lugubrious day for poor Van. When it was just about over and twilight had come, he went out in the yard to seek the -ociety of his turkeys, and what do you think he saw His beloved turkeys, which he would never have killed for a dinner, spread out before his eyes, — every last one of them dead. Van was silent. The cherry pits had dis- appeared and Van drew his own conclusions. Vhen he came back to the house he called house cleaning all the names that would not look well in print. Mrs. Wellington, his good sister, fled to a neighbor, a Mrs. Johnson, president of the woman ' s guild. Both, with a few more members of the guild, returned in about forty- five minutes. Van, seeing them coming, suspected that they thought that now he was bowed down with a sudden blow, it would be a good time to strike for money for the fine new church window. He would be firm. Good evening, Van, said Mrs. Johnson, We were wondering if you would give us — . No, I don ' t believe in fine church win- dows, interrupted Van crisply. Why, no, Van, we were wondering if you would let us have the feathers from }our poor deail turkeys. Oh, yes, sighed Van uKjurnfully. ' ' ' ou can rob the dead, yes, you can have them and welcome, too. So the good women, never postponing any- thing, set to work and stripped off all iIk feathers. It ' s an ill wind that blows no good, re- marked Mrs. Johnson as she pulled out the handsome tail feathers of Van ' s favorite tur- key. Yes, remarked Van, and it ' s a good wind that blows no ill, thinking of the wind that blew in his sister, I suppose, but she did not hear him. Sarah had good hearing though. The next morning about four P. X. she awoke Van h startling him with, Van. I say Van. Do you hear that? Doesn ' t it sound like turkeys? Nobody else around town has any. It ' s— there, hear — it ' s frightful. Van. In less than five minutes Van was down stairs and in the yard. Peering over the fence where they had thrown the turke s in a heap, he beheld every last one of them strut- ting around in the wildest comical fashion, beating time to their music with their poor featherlcss wings. They certainly did set up a howl. Van gathered them all in the parlor. He stormed about the ladies ' guild until you couldn ' t even hear the turkeys. Helping him- self to Sarah ' s best shawl he lit the lamp, for it was still dark, and cut each one of them a coat out of the shawl, tying it around the turkey ' s neck with a string. If I keep on having troubles like this, ' an said that afternoon, why maybe you will find me dead drunk with cherr}- pits and I only hope that the women ' s guild will wail and see if I come to again before they rob me of my dress suit, because I have a suspicion that one of Sarah ' s shawls wouldn ' t be ven. becoming to me. A SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL We congratulate the Musicalader ' s orches- tra on its success. It has made a name for it- self as a high school organiation.

THE TAMARACK Page forty- eight FORENSICS Korensic activities attracted a great deal of attention in North Central during the spring semester. Between the S. A. K. oratorical con- test and numerous practice events, the school debaters and orators have had all that they could handle. The first part of the semester was devote l by Coach John Shaw largely to practice teams for the Ahlquist debate. The entrants in the contest, fourteen teams in all, spent their time in preliminary debates, holding sometimes as many as three a week. The events were ar- ranged so that each contestant had three practice debates before the final event. C)n February 15, the preliminary tryout for the S. A. K. oratorical cc ntest, conducted an- nually by the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, was held and the num- ber of contestants was reduced to four orators, Margaret Still, LaValette Taylor, Willis Mer- riam and Don Cary Smith. On February 20 the final event came off and Merriam was awarded first place with his oration, La- fayette, the Apostle of Liberty. Smith came in second with his speech on George Wash- ington. All of the orations delivered were about prominent characters in American his- tory. Kenneth Davis was honored with the first place in the junior Ahlquist debate held early in April in a special convocation for under- classmen. He was awarded the prize of $20 and Katherine Kiesling took second place with a prize of $15. Katherine Kiesling and Ronald Phares scored a two to one decision over their opponents, Kenneth Davis and Donald Ross. Last but not least in the course of intra school events came the senior Ahlquist debate on April 17. It was a big occasion and thi autlitorium was packed with upperclassmeii Dr. K. E. Ahlquist, me of the originators o: the annual events in the school, was there ii person as the presiding officer. Margare Coughlin, the first speaker for the negativ. walked away with the first prize of %AO, fol lowed by Howard Whitney as a close second Whitney received a $25 award. Resolved That the United States should join the Worlc: Court in accordance with the plan set forth b the late President Harding, was the theme for argument, and the discussion grew hot ir many places. The teams were judged by De Cary Smith, local attorney, state senator Reb;i Hurn and Dr. Hiram B. Harrison, pastor oi the Pilgrim Congregational church. The . ' hlquist debates are conducted in North Central each spring by the Drs. T. M. and R. E. Ahlquist, prominent local physicians One hundred dollars is offered annually b them to further interest in debating among the students in the high school. In addition to these forensic activities thert was the National Oratorical contest conducted by the Spokesman-Review and although it wa. not an inter-school affair it created a great deal of interest among the students of North Central. The school candidates were gradual- ly eliminated until there was left only Don Cary Smith. He was not defeated until the semi-final contest with Gonzaga, Lewis anrl Clark and .several other schools.

In order that music, humor and amusement may not be omitted, the club has a tuneful quartet, and each member is required to participate in a humorous debate every semester. One of the most important numbers on the yearly program of the club is the annual Lincolnian banquet which is held in the ]3avenport East Banquet hall every winter. In addition to the usual social meetings, several picnics are held every spring, and baseball becomes of paramount interest among the members. The club has charge of the Lincoln day exercises, and usually gives an interesting program in convocation. The Lincolnian society was organized in the spring of 1920 as an outgrowth of a special debating class conducted by L. C. Bradford. An extensive study is made of Parliamentary law, and the forms and methods of debate. Prepared debates, extemporaneous debates, prepared speeches and impromptu speeches are given to gain this end.

The club has accomplished much, with the aid of its faculty director, A. L. Smith, since it was first organized. It was instrumental in bringing to the school a radio receiving set with which messages have been received from nearly every state in the iniion. The biggest thing the club has done is to install one of the finest broadcasting stations in the west and incidcntly the only one in Spokane. Ack- nowledgements of the programs broadcasted have been received from many of the eastern states. Two years ago the transmitter installed and oper- ated by the club succeeded in being heard in Hawaii. It was this set that was instrumental in forming and carrying out the- work of the Western Wireless Press association, conceived by Mr. Smith and de- veloped with the help of the club. Page sixty-three THE TAMARACK NORTH CENTRAL BAND LowEi-i. C. Bradford, Director Student Leader Adrian Armstrong Business Manager Business Advisor J. 0. Ecker ..J. Albert Bigger Organisations mean nothing in school hfe unless they accomplish something. The band of North Central has for the past semester been one of the biggest promoters of student activities and has established an available re- cord. Pep and life are the factors for se- curing school spirit and whenever possible the band has done its share. At all of the basket- ball and baseball skirmishes it had full atten- dance as well as at pep rallies and at the flag raising ceremonies. It accompanied the track team to Pullman and drew much praise for its splendid appearance and for the enthusiasm it aroused. The band has been called on to support civic affairs at different times. Its members marched in several parades, gave a concert for the Sportsman ' s and Tourist ' s fair, June 6, and furnished music at different programs. The saxophone quartet, Adrian Armstrong, Frank Rav, Harold Anderson and Lowell C. Bradford, played before the Chamber of Com- merce, Rotary club, ]M others ' club and gave feature selections at concerts. All efforts this year have been concentrated on securing additional uniforms, new instru- ments and more music. For this purpose an entertainment was given the seventh of March, and the Mothers ' club presented the band in concert to a well filled auditorium March 28. The Associated councils on June 6 offered The Crisis, a screen production, for the benefit of the band ' s fund. Without the untiring work of the director, Lowell C. Bradford, the band would not be the active group it is now. An excellent ex- ample of his work was the enlarging of the roster of the band from 40 pieces to 55. While only five members are graduating, Mr. Brad- ford states, that their loss will be keenly felt in getting the band together next fall. Leon- ard Erickson for four years a cornet soloist, Rav Moliter and LaValette Taylor, saxophone, and Frank Ray, a member of the saxophone quartet, are the boys who will not answer roll call next fall. THE TAMARACK Page sixty- four A SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY A Successful Calamity, the senior class play, was presented to two capacity houses I Iay 23 and 24. This laugh-provoking comedy with a trace of pathos and some unusual com- plications was written by Clare Kummer and some critics consider it the best production ever put on as a senior class play. Miss Lucile Elliott, coach, received many congratulations for her work of training the respective char- acters who acted like professionals and created a natural atmosphere. The costumes worn by the cast included some of the latest styles and together with the scenery, designed especially for the settings, gave the stage a rich appear- ance. The absorbing theme of the play starts with the musings of Henry Wilton who is tired of social life and longs to spend his evenings at home. Willis Merriam in this role handled his part like a veteran. He created many amusing situations when he tried to arrange certain things with his wife, Emmie, a delightful, flighty social butterfly. She harmlessly gave Wilton a drug to put him to sleep and ran away the next morning to pawn her jewels after Wilton had told her that he was ruined. Marcella Brainard and Elizabeth Pefley im- personated the wife with equal success on Fri- day and Saturday evenings respectively. Marguerite and Eddie, Wilton ' s daughter and son, were care-free, fun-seeking young Americans who were bent on having a good time with no thought of the expense. When they faced the problem of supporting the family, they evoked many laughs by their vague ideas of business. P. D. Koon as Clarence Rivers, the good natured suitor of Marguerite, furnished uni- que complications with George Struthers as to who would marry her. George was a per- snickity person whose chief ambition was to build a house with a nursery . Eddie ' s fiancee, Julia Paritngton, played by Marian Leslie, a society girl who was fond of athletics, added much to the realism of the plot.

Those who will return are : Fred Mitchell, Melvin Sohns, Eloyd Birkett, Jack Graham, Leland Hanley, Ted Rohwer and Don Axtell. As They Played Captain Fred Mitchell was the mainstay in the red and black offense this season and led his team in scoring. His speed won the ad- miration of the crowd in Chicago and he was among the high men in the tournament.

PiK e scvcntx-thrce V THE TAMARACK BASEBALL The North Central baseball team was de- feated in its annual series with Lewis and Clark, 3 games to 1. The Tigers were repre- sented by one of the strongest teams in their history and proved too much for the Indians. Lee, the freshman pitcher for the south siders pitched a good brand of ball in every game and was the star of the series. At the begin- ning of the season the prospects of a winning Indian team were the best in years but they did not materialize. The first games of the season were against Deer Park and both were won by the ImHans, 9 to 8 and 6 to 3. On April 26 the team went to Colville and trounced the mining town school, 13-9 in a slugfest. Several practice games were played b the red and black dia- mond men with W ' hitworth, Spokane college, the Exchange bank and Cheney normal. The first game with Lewis and Clark was on April 24 at Natatorium park. This con- test was a fine exhibition of baseball with the outcome in doubt until the last man was out in the ninth inning. At the finish the score- board read North Central, 4; Lewis and Clark, 2. Lee and Davis were the battery for the losers while Calhoun and Carpenter worked for the Indians. Lamson was in the limelight for North Central both in the field and at the bat while Lee did good work for the Tigers when he held the Red and Black to four hits in his first game. The second game was a repetition of good baseball but North Central was defeated by a score of 3 to 2. Lee of the winners pitched his second four hit game and was given perfect support by his teammates. North Central at- tempted a rally in the last inning but a double play by the Tigers ended the game. With the series tied both teams were out to win the third game and a large crowd wit- nessed a thrilling 13 inning battle before the Indians were beaten 6-5. This game wes the longest since 1919 when the two nines battled for 16 innings with the Braves winning 5 to 4. The game started with Lewis and Clark scor- ing five runs in the first four innings and North Central tallying four times in the third. K. Lowery who had started the game was then rei laced by Calhoun. Lee of the .south siders pitched a strong game after the third and no one was able to cross the plate until the eighth when Calhoun tied the score on Hansen ' s hit. Both teams had a chance to win the game in the ninth and tenth innings but neither could score. In the thirteenth with Chapman on first, Luck hit one to the fence and scored Chapman. The throw from the outfield was perfect and it looked as if Chapman was out on home but the umpire ruled otherwise and North Central ' s chance was lost. Lewis and Clark captured the series when the - took the Indians into camp to the tune of 5 to 4 in another thrilling contest. North Centra! started in the lead but the Tigers over- look the lead and won the game in the seventh on a pair of hits. The red and black team was unable to put over a run to tie the score and lost their second consecutive series to the Tigers. Lewis and Ciark won the game on their ability to hit in the pinches. Carpenter, Calhoun, E. Lowery and Carney played their last game for North Central. W ith six lettermen back next year the team has good prospects. TRACK Kf,i,i,ogg Mket I ' he North Central track team opened the season with a meet against the combined teams of Wallace, Kellogg, Plummer and Mullan at Kellogg, Idaho. The Indians had little trouble in trimming the mining towns by a score of 91 to 40. North Central showed its superiority in nearlv every event by taking all places in the mile, 440 yard dash, broad jump and the three dashes. Douglas was high point man for North Central with 12 ' 4 points while Hughes scored 10 points and Gildersleeve 934- This meet gave many men a chance to show their abilitv and to make their letter. Coach Taylor was ver well pleased with the new material that was brought out in this meet. The mining towns captured first place in the half-mile,- I)ole vault, javelin, discus and high hurdles. Indians Trim Tigers North Central took their eighth track vic- torv in thirteen years from the Lewis and THE TAMARACK Clark team in the aniuial meet at the stadium. The final score was 84 to 47 with the Indians lakiiif; ten of the fifteen first places. A new rec(trd was set In Campbell, the Lewis and Clark javelin thrower when he tossed the spear U 1 feet 4). inches. Douglas was high point man with 16)4 points and C.ildersleeve and Macri were tied for second honors with 11 tallies. Douglas took further honors by tying the national yard dash record. The Indian rcla team won their event by a large margin. This victory was the most decisive in several ears. The District Meet North Central, Lewis and Clark and Gon- zaga met in a triangular meet on May 10 to decide entries in the state meet at Pullman. The Indians tcxik most of the places and gar- nered 78 points while the Tigers made 45 and Gonzaga 8 points. The red and black team captured 11 of the 15 first places and 9 men earned the right to go to the Pullman meet. l )ouglas was again high man when he counted 20 points for his team and Bostwick and Macri made 10 and 9 tallies re.spectively. Fast time was made in a number of the races and se cral records were approached but none were beaten. Those who qualified to enter the Pullman meet were : Douglas, Gilder- slee e, Hughes, Haynes, Merriam, Bostwick, Alacri, Birkett and Beavers. Poge seventy -four The Puluman Meet I ' he North Central track team, composed of those who qualified in the district meet, was pitted against the best in the state and wa- able to pull down third place from among 4(J schools, enatchee won the meet with 24 points and Lynden was second with 21 p jints while North Central gathered 16 and Hillyard 10. Foster, colored sprinter from W enatchee was the individual star of the meet with !;m places in all the dashes both in the prei):iii- naries on Fridav and the finals on Saturday. He was credited with the exceptional time of 9 8-10 in the 100 yard dash by four of the five timers. Six state records were shattered and several others were approached primarily because of the perfect day. The records to fall were the 1(X) yard dash, mile, half-mile, javelin, 220 yard low hurdles and the relay. Of these the new half-mile record made by Dalton of Hill- yard in 1 :59 3-5 and the 100 yard dash re- cord b Foster stand out most prominently. Keiser of Wenatchee ran a fine race when he set the record of 4 :40 3-5 for the mile run. Douglas was the North Central star, taking third in the 100 and 50 }ard dashes and second in the 440. He led the field in the 440 but was nosed out in the last foot by Cocking of Central ia. He also was a member of the winning relay team. Hughes tied for first place in the high jump and Beavers tied for third in the pole vault. Merriam scored a fourth in the high hurdles and Gildersleeve was on the winning relay team. TENNIS . wealth of material answered the tennis call of Coach John Shaw at the beginning of the season and they began working as soon as the courts were in condition. Of this number Carney and Calhoun were lettermen from last year while Blod, Oswald, Leeds and LePray constituted the other candidates for the team. Several practice matches were played against Cheney. Spokane college and Millwood. On Ma 24 the team w ent to Pullman to take on the W. S. C. frosh in the last match before they met Lewis and Clark. The meet with Lewis and Clark was on Ma 51 and was played on the courts on the south side. North Central was represented by one of the strongest squads in the histor}- of the school. There were five singles and two doubles matches in the Lewis and Clark meet. Coach Shaw was ver well pleased with the showing made by the players and has a nucleus of three men back for next year ' s team. Most of the practice was on the Cannon courts this year as these courts were reserved for team practice. Several ranking matches were run off during the season among the team members to get a line on the compara- tive strength of the pla -nrs I i c seventy-five THE TAMARACK THE TAMARACK 'P Chain! . vo L H Lpuiif- An Hp.. 231 hue ,I our NW' Iva C fp la.

The butler, Connors, Leonard Ericlvson, acted as the father of the family and always reminded them of their engagements. Connors offered his life savings to Wilton at the time he was supposed to be ruined in order to help him out of a tight place. Cordon Cross as John Belden, the serious minded business pai ' tner of Wilton ' s, advised him on various matters and acted as a general stabilizer of his matrimonial relations. Emmie ' s partner in crime, Pietro Rafaelo, an Italian who was painting her picture, was admirably characterized by Reed Bement. Bement created the atmosphere of the Latin quarter by his quaint manners and actions. Dr. Broodie, the family physician, as portrayed b} ' LaValette Taylor, aroused Wilton ' s wrath by suggesting that he was bordering on lunacy. Taylor also was business manager of the play. Just as the audience was beginning to think that Emmie had eloped with Pietro she ap- peared with a handful of pawn tickets. Of course she and Wilton forgave each other and the curtain went down as they were discussing happiness. — „_„ — ,_„ , , „,_4 I i j Best i Wishes 1 i To the Class j 1 of June, 1924 i I Riverside 11 ( I I 4. _.„_. — „_,. „„_„._„„_.,_„_,„ — ._.„_,._4 I Sick Fountain Pens j Restored to Health IF YOU jDos.se.ss a Fountain Pen that is not in working condition bring it to our Pen Doctor and it will be restored to its for- 5 mer writing efficiency in a jiffy. i The Doctor repair.s all makes of fountain pens.

THE TAMARACK Page eighty-one DELTA HI-JINX One of the biggest hits of the season ' s vaudeville ofiferings was the Delta Hi-Jinx. During the entire program not a dull moment was experienced by the two huge audiences who viewed the production both evenings of March 21 and 22. All of the acts were under the personal direction of A. H. Horrall. His ability as a theatrical manager was shown with the presentation of many novelties and origin- al fantastics that helped make the show a hit with the fun-seeking North Central students and friends. The program opened with a bang with the presentation of The Musical Review of 1924, some musical nonsense mixed with good pinging, dancing and acting. The following boys sang solos : John Graham, John Car- penter, Nerval Kader, Leland Hanley and Loren Haynes, assisted by a chorus of twelve. Each song was followed by an interlude made up of various comic cut-U-ps done by some member of the chorus. In the second act Harry Hesslein exhibited his talent in Ven- triloquism Up-to-Date. The Musicaladers, a popular student orchestra, gave their inter- pretations of syncopated music, and were ap- plauded vigorously.

The hit of the performance was the very light opera, Julius Caesar, a take-off on the drama written by Shakespeare. In it were included all the main historical events but they were staged in such a way that kept the au- dience in a hilarious uproar. All of the char- acters were those of the original manuscript and they wore costumes of an early date. WHITMAN ALL-COLLEGE GLEE CLUB On the evening of March 15, students and friends of North Central had the opportunity of hearing the Whitman all-college glee club in concert. The personnel of the club consisted of members of both the women ' s glee club and the men ' s society at Whitman. This year ' s performance was put on under the manage- ment of Almeda Bush with the assistance of Lillian Hughes and John Morrison from the Associated councils. The program was directed by Professor Howard E. Pratt, head of the Whitman con- servator}- of music, and ranged from classical numbers of sixteenth century Italian, to the Farmers and Mechanics Bank Established 1903 The Oldest Bank on the North Side 4% Interest paid on Savings deposits or Certificates of deposit Safe deposit boxes for rent $2.00 per year and up.

All the members had such vvell- deveioped voices that any of them were cap- able of being called on for solos. The soloists who did appear were well received and con- sistently called back for encores. The or- chestra played several pieces of modern and classical music which brought forth repeated applause. Several novelties were given, in- cluding Hearts to Mend, a Pierrott and Pierrette fantasie, and two specialties from the musical comedy, The Fair Co-Ed, put into the program the spirit and spice of college life. Critics who heard the program agreed that this year ' s appearance has sur- passed all other Whitman concerts. o — o SCHOOL ORCHESTRA A play, and a filler needed ? Call on C. Olin Rice and his forty-three piece orchestra. Little do the faculty and the students realize what an important element in the school routine the orchestra is. It is composed of hard working .nudents who are interested in music, and who want to help in its future development. These members practice faith- fully each week for the opportunity of ap- pearing before the public several times during the season.

The ckib under the direction of C. ()Hn Rice, gave its interpretation of Near to Nature ' s Heart, a semi-classical composi- tion of the light, soft, murmuring, breath of spring t pe. Those who heard the numbers were delighted with the informal manner in which the songs were given and by the simple, yet pleasing appearance of the girls who were dressed in pastel shades and were grouped in front of a floral background. Renflition of eight choruses and four solos ended the entertainment. Solos were sung bv Elizabeth Pefley, Ethel Hughes, Helen Beck- man and ; Iarjorie Petersen. Their talent was speedily recognized by the students as was that of the chorus, made up of the members of the club. At present the society has a membership of fifty-six.

The purpose of the contest was to pick a play, written by any member of a club, which would incite interest in the different vocations and bring before the students the importance of considering a life profession.

Kathrvn Cund - had charge of this year ' s play which was acted out before a double convocation under the direc- tion of Miss Nelle Wilson and Miss Lucile Elliott. The story centers around Jimmy, a typical high school boy who decides that school has become tiresome, and thinks that his abilities are developed sufficiently to get a job and work himself up quickly. He goes to the law office of a friend of the family, Mr. McLeod, and is asked to wait a moment. During the time he waits, Jimmy hears the views and experience of a retired business man, a modern scientific farmer, a newsboy, a messenger and a junk man. Their ideas make Jimmy realize his mistake and he goes back to school to finish his education. The following students had parts in the play : Eric Johnson, Matthew Stevens, Wayne Bevis, Harold Wall, Don Engdahl, John An- drist, Helen Bettv Brooks and Ed Keats. Inquisitive Sophomore: Why do people always speak of man instead of woman? Teacher: My child, you should understand that man embraces woman. — . — , — — „, — _ — ,„ — „ — — _ — . — „ — „ — . — i i I I I E. C. Yocum Co.

All students in the school were eligible and many plays were submitted, giving the depart- ment an excellent chance to pick the best suited for the purpose. An Experiment, a three act comedy written by Harlan McKin- ney, was chosen and presented to the students at a double convocation. The plot centered around the experiences of two college boys who, during their vacation, worked as salesmen for a washing machine company. Reed Bement and Walter McLean had the roles of the two college boys ; Leonard Erickson was a professor; John Andrist, an office boy ; Dorothy Brown, stenographer ; and Lawrence IMarugg was shown as a prominent business man.

The play is a characteristic bit of old Spanish cus- toms and ideas mixed up with a truly Ameri- can love affair. This made it an interesting and comical plot and it was enjoyed by an amused house. Miss Jean McPhie and Mr. E. Salzmann coached the players and John And- rist acted as business manager. The story is centered around the strict, old- fashioned activities of Dona Clarines who has been sadly disappointed by a lover in her youth. Her niece, Marcela, comes to live with her. Because of her aunt ' s frank, crude and out- spoken disposition, and intoleration of the ten- dencies of society, Marcela hesitates to tell her that she is engaged to Miguel, a son of Dona Clarines ' old sweetheart. The lover disarms the aunt with his frankness and honesty and she finally consents to their marriage. Ever)- thing ends happily and Dona Clarines proves that her moral sense comes in handy. Members of the club included in the cast are: Dona Clarines, Irma Kruger; Marcela, Nellie Ressa; Tata, Marion Penny; Daria, Marguerite Barth ; Don Basilio, Arthur Tate; Lujan, George Stocker; Miguel, J. Hamlin Robertson; Escopeta, William McClung. o — o EDITORIAL TROUBLES Editing an annual is a nice thing. If we publish jokes people say we are rattle brained. If we don ' t we are fossils.

Forest Holmes, the man who knows Hardly a da}- passes but the personal editor asks me for an idea for her department. Since it is easy for me to get them I sit down at once to help her out. The first thing I do is to shake my head violently, as the directions say, Shake well before using. Then I cover my eyes with a paint rag (to lend color to the idea) because I believe in keeping myself in the dark while I am thinking. Soon a new idea will hatch. By using my method I can often produce several ideas in rapid succession, all equally good. Many people who have tried this wonderful syrup for new ideas have written to tell me how successfully it has worked. Below I am printing one of the most interesting of these letters. I receive hundreds of them daily. Mr. J. Forest Holmes. Dear Sir: For years I have suffered with a corn on my foot. 1 was told about your remedy and since using it I have developed another corn.

In the morning he came down stairs and told his mother. Oh Mother, I had the keenest dream last night. I dreamed I went to Heaven. Wish I hadn ' t awakened. Why son, don ' t you like it here any more ? Oh yes, but you see it was this way. I went up there and asked St. Peter if I could come in and stay always and he said sure if I would leave my football togs outside, and so I went in and, gee it sure was swell.
