There came the sound of murmuring voices which at times could be heard distinctlly and again were obscured by the many sounds of the for- est. L ' pon tracing the voices to their source one would find that they issued from the mouth of a large cave which was set far back in the side of a hill that was covered with rocks and underlirush. Just within the cave a small group of In- dians could be seen squatting around a fire. Tall and erect in their mid.st stood one who appeared to be the chieftain of his tril)e. ( rouped about him were a few old warriors, but for the most part they were young braves who had not vet been tried in battle. All were apparently inter- ested in the story that he was unfolding the legend of the January 1925 tribe of X ' orth Central Indians. If one could have but understood the language of the Chief- tain he would have heartl a narrative some- thing like this. Vour short years ago two hundred and si. t papooses began the initiatory step in prejiaring themselves for the great battles that the must fight in the future. That the - might become an honor and a credit to their race the poor little freshmen, for that is what they were called, faced ob- stacles which seemed almost impossible to overcome. At first they were greatl}- be- wildered and could not remember where to go when nor were the older members of the tribe of much assistance for they often preferred to send the young redskins on fruitless hunting expeditions. Finally the papooses arrived at their destination onl - to live in fear and trembling lest the all knowing ones who were called teachers should scalp them. After the dread of the teachers had been overcome, such evils as algebra and English haunted the poor little Ind ians. Nothing daunted them, thev armed themselves with study, persever- ance, and will and sallied forth to meet the hard flint axes of Latin and Science. Time passed. When the bright warm day of summer came the chiefs deemed It necessary to grant the young Indians a respite after having fought .so bravely with their enemies for six long moons. Two more moons waxed and waned and again the tribe of 1925 came together to continue their fight. With experience as their guiding hand they fare d forth to complete their first great step in the Land of Knowledge. Some of the band were not strong enough, and were left behin.l to increase the numbers of the June ' 25 tribe. At the beginning of the next year the Indians were christened the Sophomores. I ' roud and haughty they were, for now their time had come to torture the freshie. However, they were still pursued by enemies larger, stronger, and mightier than before. Newer and stronger evils confronted them in the form of Geometr}-, Botany, Zoolog_ -. In spite of the man - obstacles which beset the way a few of the band managed to enter the various activi- ties. Some of those who entered into foot- ball have since brought great honor to their tribe. All went well with the noble young redskins until the summer moons again made their appearance. Then great terror seized the band for they had to again pass through the torture of a series of tests before they might join the coveted ranks of upper classmen. As Juniors they entered the activities with even greater zeal than before. Some of the members journeyed with the bas- ketball team to Chicago. When they re- turned they brought many trophies to pre- .sent to the tribe. Realizing that concen- tration of efforts would be necessary if the - wished to attain the goal of gradua- (CoiitiiiKcd on page 67) I ' a )t- Iwi ' iity-five THE TAMARACK THE CLASS WILL E, THE class of January 1925, leave our argiunents in class meetings, our peculiar ways and our virtues, to tlie members of North Central, with the hope that they will accept our gifts gra- ciously and benefit by them. Harold Wall leaves his girl, Avon Coutts, to the junior set with the injunc- tion to care for her during school hours. Joe Greenough leaves his executive al)ility to Don Axtell in order that he may secure any position in school that he de- sires. Tessie Burke leaves her temper to sheik Jack Graham for fear his may give init from over use. Mary Allison leaves her freckles to Kelly Ward. Ted Kohwer leaves his red hair and his partnershij) in the Haynes-Rohwer Cor- respondence School to Everett Henning. Genevieve Green leaves her superfluous dates and phone calls to Jerrie Bernard. IJIlian Epley leaves her Bobs to his feminine admirers, but if ou value your life — hands off ! Bob Pritchard leaves his success in school and his large wardrobe to his brother. T.eila Lundy leaves her clever public speaking speeches as pleasant memories to -Miss Elliott. Cynthia Cadwell leaves her naturally curly hair to Melba Welton — We ' ve heard Meli likes it better that way. Charles Kronenberg leaves his Reo sedan to Norval Rader so that he won ' t have to walk home from Summit Boule- vard when he misses the owl car. Helen Fowler leaves her place on the scholastic honor roll to Madelyn Dever- aux. Marjorie Petersen would leave her love- ly voice, but she wants to use it to help make her career successful. Hawley Cole leaves the kiss that he gave Mildred Eouiselle when he crowned her queen of the Pep Carnival, to her ad- mirers. Please don ' t fight over it. Babe Bush leaves her height to Edgie Hogle. Hugh Cheesman leaves his ability to handle the football money to Francis Blod. Don Disotell leaves his good looks and keen appearance to Manley Douglas. (We reall don ' t think that he needs them.) Claire Donovan leaves her fantastic toes and rope spinning ability to Lola Standard. Elsie Fletcher and Henrietta Flynn leave their artistic talents to .Myrtle Richard- son. Matthew Stevens leaves his successful career as quarterback on the football team to Roy Fait with the hopes that he will make the first lineup next fall. Elinor Jack.son leaves her U. of W. Kap]ia Sig ' to Una Mae Decker. I ' renchie Hughes leaves her sweet man- nerisms and lovely voice to Doris Daniels. W ayne Fitzgerald leaves his extra aver- dupois to George A. Anderson. SIGNED— MARY ALLISON PAUL KITTO HAWXEY COLE THE TAMARACK Page twenty -six THE CLASS PROPHECY ' Y THK time our cr)mmittee was selected It all came rather unexpected But just as far as we can see The members of our class will be: To Tessie Burke we point with pride The Prince of Wales will make her his Itride. Leila Lundy will w in success For she will run the Spokane Press. I ' ill Becker ' s life will be quite sunny His wives will die and leave him money. Matthew Stevens of football fame, W ill be the coach at Notre Dame. Willard MacDonald, a loving swain In a despondent mood will shoot out his brains. Love in a Bungalow Built for You A famous song, In the famous two— Pritchard and Petersen. Hugh Cheesman will be the chief gazink Of a high class club called Kinky-dinks. As an artist. Babe Bush will nieet with illusions. All she can draw will be poor conclusions. Four times wed, and four times parted Poor Paul Kitto will be broken hearted. Joe Clreenough will lead a terrible life He will marry a domineering wife. As for the future of Genevieve Green It ' s far too uncertain to be forseen. Margy Elliot is now sweet and shy But in her old age she ' ll be terribly spry. In regard to our humorous Harold Wall Why, he just ain ' t got no future at all. You wouldn ' t think it but do you know? Ed Lowery will tell stories bv radio. Bill Elmslie will keep his art for acting Both good and bad, to be exacting. It ' s all settled, cause we can see Ella Mae married to her S. A. E. We sympathize with .Marjorie Bloom For a hairdressers life will be her doom. Of course Helen F owler will be a teacher And Jimmy Martz a Methodist preacher. An opera career for Beulah Blair She ' ll make her debut with A Maiden ' s Prayer. And Charles Kronenberg can be nothing more Than a floor walker in a department store. And did you know that Margaret Ennis Will only prove a public menace. The stars predict for our president, Roh- wer He ' ll have food and .shelter but nothing more. We sure feel sorry for Hawley Cole He won ' t find work to save his soul. If Wa ne Fitzgerald gets bigger dailv He ' ll soon be signed with Barnum ' and Bailey. For those matrimonially inclined We have great faith in the undersigned. Allison-Graham happily mated l3isoteI-Dewey — separated. Milly and Tom — happy of course But Cadwcll and Irwin — divorce. As for the rest of our dear classmates Judging from the past, if one related What each will be in his future life One might as w ell .start a civil .strife.

E. Green Business Advisor Circulation •JANUARY, 1925 HAPPINESS Robert T ouis Stevenson once said To be truly happy is a question of how to be- gm and not how to end ; of what we want and not what we have. It has also been said that happiness lies not in doing what one likes but liking what one does. Doubtless everyone, on leaving high school is filled with nutnerous ideals and plans for the future ; of great accomplish- ments and success. In the mad rush for wealth and fatne all too many miss the fundamental element in life; happiness, ' i ' oo often our eyes are kept glued on our goal Bu.siness Success and then when we have finally achieved that which we set out t(j achieve we find, much to our distress, that we are not a success after all. but a failure because we have not found happiness. Students leaving high school : don ' t be so busy seeking success that }()u miss it. Like Stevenson says, let us learn how to begin things and not how to end them. Let us enter into everything with a willing spirit and not be afraid to work. We must do our best always because i f a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. We must remember that we will get out of this old world just what we put in it. The real secret of success lies in making others happy. Aim to be a friend and you will always have friends. Those who sit and wait for happiness never get it. Those who are always look- ing for happiness never find it. Those who give it, receive it. Those who deserve it, .get it. Happiness must go hand in hand with .success or there is no success at all. So when you are striving toward success give a little thought to your happiness and re- member the secret. And let us always re- member those words of Pope: Fixed to no spot is happiness, sincere : ' Tis nowhere to be found, on every- where ; ' Tis never to be bought, but always free. o — o THE CLASS OF JANUARY ' 25 Four years ago the class of Januar ' 2 entered North Central as fre.shman. During this time they have worked to attain standings and distinction for them- selves that they may have something by which to be remetnbered. Although regarded by many as more or less a matter of course that another clas should be graduating from North Cen- tral it is not with this feeling that those ' «(;.• thirty-fir THE TAMARACK of the senior class are leaviiifj this insti- tution whicli they have regarded as more or less a home during the time spent here. Though they he scattered to tlie far ends of the eartli there will always he that feel- ing in the hearts of each and every one of the menihers of the graduating class of January ' 25 of utmost respect for that school from which they received their diplomas. There will he that longing to be back in the halls of old North Central, to mingle with the crowd and to take part in the many activities for which the in- stitution is famous. We are living in a great period of ad- vancement and we expect that those who follow in our footsteps will attain far greater marks than those which we have attempted to gain. With this in mind we wish those who follow the very best of success and opportunities and only hope that our records may be worthy of asso- ciation with them. o — o DO YOUR PART One in looking back on past experiences can see many things which might have been done differently. He can see where he might have helped someone else out of a hole or how he might have taken part in many things which would have bene- fited him. This is the position of many students on reaching the senior class. They find that they have accomplished nothing outside of their regular routine school work ; that they have nothing creditable by which to rememlier their high school years. In North Central there are so many activities that there is a place for everyone of the students to take jiart. The school is controlled so largely by students that it is the duty of and to the best interest of each pupil to take part in its control. Be- side the actual benefit derived while in school there is the result of this training in after life. It fits one better to take up the duties of citizenship and to take part in the political and social activities of everyday life. But perhaps more closely related is the benefit derived by the school as a whole from such cooperation. In the first place this works for a much more efficient system in which everyone takes his fair share of responsibility. In the second place it brings about a better relationship between the students and the teachers and last but not least it does away with a great deal of the jealousy among the students. Some of the upperclassmen may think this is meant for the lowerclassmen only that it is too late for them to do anything along these lines but as the old saying goes it is never too late to change. Of course they ma ' not be able to accomplish as much as some others but they can do a great deal toward helping the rest. There- fore let ' s get together and have each and every student in North Central taking part in some activity.

WHAT LARAMIE LEARNED ARAMIE Fielding after accepting the position as a substitute teach- er at Unalaska, didn ' t dream of staying any longer than three weeks. Unalaska — of all places ! One of Alaska ' s loneliest and most inihearable towns, so Ivaramie thouglil. The district ' s one school was established, taught and operated by a Miss Myra Sawyer. When Miss Sawyer fell ill, the white residents of the town sent to a Seattle teacher ' s agency for a willing, capable, teacher. As the willing capable teacher Miss Laramie Fielding was sent. The trip from Seattle had been hard. The boat — and oh ! Such a boat — was slow, uncomfortable, and inconvenient. Then there had been no one to meet Lar- amie, as had been planned ; no one to direct her to her new home. I can ' t stay here all night, she said as she stood on the dock waiting for Mr. MacDonald, her new landlord. I ' ll stay at the hotel. LTnalaska ' s one hotel was not unlike other small town affairs, wooden, rickety and small. This Laramie went through in none too good a mood. It was very much beneath her dignity to be forced to pass a night in a fishing cove ' s hotel. The clerk was a half-breed Indian girl whose name, Laramie learned, was Ni- tuna. The Indian girl was fat and grea.sy and wore a perpetual smile. If there was anything Miss Fielding detested it was a perpetual smile. .A.nxious to please, the girl offered Lar- amie the best room the house afforded. Let small, she explained in her broken mixture of French and Indian. But eet clean — veery, she added. Yes, yes, of course, answered the other impatiently. Cleanliness is to be expected when one pays two dollars for such a room as this. Her critical eye surveyed her surroundings. The room con- tained only a bed, a washstand and a small chair. It will do, .she said as she dismissed Nituna. Rut the girl was loathe to go. Instead she came bashfully up to Laramie and gazed at the other ' s personal effects. I ' reety beads — veery, she remarked wistfully! Me— I have no beads. I ' m very sorry, Laramie said haught- ib . Perhaps you could earn some if you did not stand around, but go to work. No dismissal could be any plainer, so Nituna left the room. Needless to say, Laramie was glad to be alone, for she was tired of the sort of people one found in an Alaskan town. She went to the win- dow and peered out. First her unaccu.s- tomed eyes saw a soft grey darkness, then she was able to distinguish buildings and observe that it was snowing. Laramie dimly wondered how she was to walk the two miles to MacDonald ' s through tins snow. Tomorrow — perhaps tomorrow yir. MacDonald would come for her. What had delayed him, she wondered Oh, well — she began to prepare for bed and .was just brushing her long, black hair, when slv Vif nrd p knock on the door. Oh, fiddlesticks. I su])pose it is that Indian. She opened the door and faced Nitrna bearing a pitcher of water on one lipnd and a bowl of steaming broth in the other. Eet for you. Drink soup. Here water for wash. Nituna seemed anxious to please. Thank you. I didn ' t need the soup, T aramie said curtly as she took the prof- fered articles and shut the door. As little as Laramie liked Nituna, she had to ap- preciate the broth. The next morning, J arainie donned some more substantial clothing and pro- ceeded to a good hot breakfast. Again she was greeted by the Indian girl ' s win- nine: and cheerful smile. Have you seen Mr. MacDonald? she asked the girl. He send message you come. Hees wife seeck. I .show way. I ' ll have some breakfast first, Miss Fieldinjr s ' lid. I ' ll let you know when I ' m ready, girl. Ve . Nituna did not like the way this white girl treated her. The Indian girl wanted and needed a good, kind friend. In Laramie, the girl saw dim ])ossibilities of 5 THE ' IWiMAKACK: l ' (i ji ' lliirty-i-iylil one. l ' ut she was merely called j irl 1) the other, and it hurt poor Nituna. Half an hour later, J aramie announced her readiness to start. Her baggage wa.s to he left at the hotel for Mr. MacDonald to call for the following day. Nituna said she would go halfway with Laramie. They had gone nearly a mile without speaking when Laramie noticed that snow was he- ginning to fall again. Each crystal flake seemed to grow larger and more beautiful. With the advent of the wind, the danger of becoming lost was evident. The white girl did not know a single inch of the trail which Nituna had traversed hundreds of times. Furthermore, that trail was fast losing its resemblance as a path. Each flurry of snow, each gust of wind made the predicament of the girls more precar- ious. Laramie opened her m(juth and was about to speak, but upon a second thought, snapped it shut. The silence was becom- ing unbearable. Away in the distance was heard the plaintive wail of a coyote. And closer yet was heard the dismal howls and yip yips of wolves. Nituna was silent also. If the white girl would not — Oh, but she would. She was talking. Nituna, she said, I ' ve been a miserable little wretch. I ' m just as sorrv as I can be. Will vou forgive me? I weel, Nituna — she hold no grudge. Good, and now, I have a favor to ask of yon, rather I almost demand it. Won ' t you walk the rest of the way with me, Nituna? Please. You see I ' m not familiar with this country — and if I should get lost here — why — Nituna, please. Her eagerness, her pleading and utter desolation won the Indian girl. Yes, I weel. And three hours later, after braving the storm like veterans, the girls reached Mac- Donald ' s, it was a different Laramie from the one of the preceeding night. Nituna, she said hugging the other, we ' re going to be friends. I owe you a lot for what you ' ve done. See if we aren ' t good friends, and Mr. MacDonald tells me I ' ll have to stay two months or more. Good. We be friends — yes, said the happy Nituna. And .she felt as if thev would be. f VST peo])le like ' bout everything ihey got and think what they got is lietter ' n what everybody else ' s i ot. But there is one thing what nobody likes his own of— that ain ' t very good wordin ' but it expresses my meaning. Names, given names, — did you ever hear of a guy what liked his own name ? They are very scarce (those kind of fellows, I mean, not the given names) and if you know one he ' d be too vain and self-concerned for you to be willing to confess you knew him. Any- way the point is that people don ' t like their names. I want to be a champeen on the side of us poor creatures who have to go through all of our natural lives hooked up with either a great-great uncle ' s name or a name so distinguislied and nice sounding a.s hc (lonners sometimes sav. In the first place I want to speak about the kids what was donated their, ancestors names. I profoundly T somebody said that meant swearing but it don ' t) pity them. Names like Archibald, Virgil, Cyrus, Silas, Phoebe, Maggie, Matilda and Agetha are tyi)ical examples. People feel that when there is such a beautiful, appealing name in the family tree they have to pass it along to all the little saps. I ' ve heard it ' s awful hard to be modern with a name like one of them followin ' vou all the time. But .seem ! to me it ' s the kids with the angel-sound- ing names what ' s the devilishest. For ex- am])le take that there Daniel Pry (ain ' t Daniel a angellyfied name) look how he run a va_ - and married a actress and went plumb to the dogs. Lots a times parents say that a certain ancestral name is so becoming and so they smother their poor kids with it and all the I I ' afic titirty-itinc THE TAMARACK time the main idea was the gettiii ' of the nice check they knew the relative with the kiflnapiK ' d name would send. You got to be good to live up to a fairly good name but you got to be a durn sight better to outlive one of those kind of hitherto-fore- mentioned relics. The other kind of given names is those kind what are supposed to sound good, some sort of a creation out of the deep- grooved mind of one of those good-mean- ing parents what wants their kid to have an odd cognomen. I may as well con- fess that my name, being Bernadine, comes under this here heading. Others like Beverly, Corinne, Eulalie, Laurice, Hu- bert, Wendell, Rollo, Martin and Clifford are almost as bad. Some of them sound rather romantic, don ' t you know, — like they just jumped out of a fiction book. It seems to me that there ain ' t much to be said about sech names. They ain ' t worth much. The only thing, — it must have took a awful lot of courage on the part of the parents to rope a kid with such a name. In the long run, it ' s the mothers to who the blame should be given for the suffer- ing of us poor benited generation. Why couldn ' t they have called us Pete or Sonnie or Honey until we were old enough to choose a name for ourselves, one that was worth wearing? Guess they didn ' t think of it. Anvwav, it wasn ' t fair cuz all we could do when they hitched us up to sech a name was to lay and squal and squal like sixty which didn ' t do no good ' cause they only thought we had the stomic ache or wanted to be turned over or something. I bet if we had a chance we coulda seed to it that we got a real short, non-ancestral, non-pretty-sounding, meaningless name like Lea, Jane, Don, Max, Fred, or Glen. ' Bout the only way we can get revenge, since it ' s too late to help our own case, is to give worse names to the future generation. But then we ' d be less considerate than our parents and our children would write and say a whole lot worser things than this here about theii cognomens and us. Sometimes nicknames are a durn good thing ' cause they hide your real name. For example Jerry is a cute nickname and it keeps ever ' body from knowing that your real name is Jeremiah. However, if your name happens to be Lionel and the kids call you Li or Nell, nicknames are forever condemned by Your Grace. To make a long story longer, I say : Down with ancestral names! Down with pretty sounding names! P ring on the short, easy, meaningless names now and forevermore! May our parents be for- given for our names and may we treat the coming generation better than our folks treated us! 1 LETTERS FROM A NEWSHOUND I.

Bee .5, THE TAMARACK Page forty JOHN WAKES UP OHN McMasters was a goof. A goof of the worst sort. Always in the way so the fellows said and never doing much of anything. Wliy he was a goof was hard to explain some might say that he just hadn ' t woke up to the fact that he was an actor in this great world not just a spectator. ' et there was sort of a heroic stoicism that calls my admiration for he also was Z aware of the fact that there was some- •fe thing; a something vague and indefinite between the social and mental status of him.self and the rest of the children he consorted with. On the playground John held back not because he didn ' t want to play but a sort of ba.shfulness kept him from rushing in and plaving with the rest of the fellows. And .so John held back almost all through his grade school days a fellow that was just a sort of piece of furniture. Getting his lessons with a boresome regularity that left no reason for complaint and mediocre standard which removed him from com- mendation. One day he changed. It was in the winter time and the school class of which he was a member was hold- ing a sleighride party. Jane Greene the leading feminine attraction in the 8R class took charge of the affair. Jane said to the rest of the congregation that usually swarmed around in the en- trance of the school house just before the (luarter to nine bell rang. I ' ve gotta big surprise for you kids, when the sleighride comes. Oh, what i. her best pal. Well I ' m going to let John take me ! with a air of comedy. Awwww, replied her companion in wide-mouth wonder, he ain ' t nobody. P.ut the real reason wasn ' t out of com- passion for John. Jane had an argument with Harry, who usually took her on parties and picnics and she knew if she went with some eligible boy that Harry wcHild desert her forever. ' Therefore she thought she would use John as sort of a mask to win Harry from any girl he took. When John heard that Jane was ex- it Janie? asked Marion, ,4 pecting him to ask her to go with him on the sleighride he was dumbfounded. It had never occured to him at all that he could possibly go on the party. He had been planning on staying home but this changed matters completely. To him in his hazy thoughts about girls in general Jane was an idol to be worshipped from afar. And to think that he was to take her on the sleighride! Well of all things! Finally he summoned up enough courage to approach the subject. Say, are you going on the sleighride? Sure I am, John aren ' t you going to take me r Er — his heart gave a little jump and he stammered, Sure, what time shall I come after you? ' Bout seven, replied Jane and was off to join her crowd of girls, leaving John in rosy ecstasy. News travels fast especially when it concerns you and Harry was duly inform- ed by his best pal and conspirator Bill Kaye. — and she is going to go with John -McMaster so Billy, her little brother, told me ! Well what do I care? replied Harr_ - as he shrugged his shoulders with a poorly concealed air of indifference. Well, .shucks, I knew you didn ' t care but— that last word BUT held worlds of meaning to him. Harry hadn ' t thought that their little quarrel would amount to this but anyhow if she didn ' t like him well enough not to let a little quarrel step in between them, why so much for that. He could see himself in his imagination turn up his nose at her. Then she would implore him not to treat her so and he would only laugh. Ah, cruel and sweet revenge! To John the prospect of going with Jane made him look at himself in the mir- ror several times to assure himself that he was the same old person. But mirrors do not lie and he was the same fellow with the same freckled face and the same be- wildered just-woke-up expression on his face. Whatever could possess her to ask him to the sleighride with her? At last the dav arrived when the I Page forty-one THE TAMARACK so-called sleighride was to be. The sky was overcast with grey threatening clouds, the snow was nearly a foot and a half deep and the road was perfect for a sleigh. John nervously watched the clock till it read quarter to seven then he braced him- self mentally and prepared to go fourth in the conquest of hearts. Jane lived about three blocks from his residence and it only took a few minutes to reach there. John happily started down the last block to Jane ' s. Across the street he heard the merry voices of some girls ringing clear through the soft stillness of the early darkness. (), she is just kidding him along to make Harry jealous. That ' s what I thought. l ' or John is too dead for words ! The voices trailed off in the distance as they went farther away but John gathered enough of the conversation to realize that he was just a goat. He was half tempted to turn around and go home. But he didn ' t. Instead he went and got Jane and took her v] to school where they were to congregate. So thev think I ' m flead, thought John, Well, rii show them. Into the sled piled one hilarious shouting mass of children. What are we going to do after the ride? asked John. Oh, I dunno — probably go home ! Home, garsh, I ' ll be so hungry that 1 can ' t stand up. Say, let ' s go out to my grandmaw ' s to eat. We can get some chili and crackers and take it out there. A collection v as taken and they bought a dozen cans of chili and a couple of boxes of crackers at the little store across the road. Then the sleigh pulled away from the school with a merry jingle of the bells, snort of the horses and the voices of the hajipy children faded away into the distance. On the sleigh the conversation didn ' t lag a bit as far as John was concerned. In sheer desperation he talked and talked and the rest of the crowd sat back and enjoyed such an extraordinary sight as John McMaster being the shining light of the crowd. Ilarrv, in one corner of the sled, wasn ' t enjoying himself verv much. For he was the school sheik and bitterly he resented the inroads John niMdc up on his popularity. Too soon the sleigh pulled up in front of Mrs. Andrews, John ' s grandmother. She a small vivacious white haired woman, welcomed them into her large comfortable living room. A bright fire burned in the stone fireplace and sent a cheery glow over the faces of the children. It was not long until the visitors made themselves at home and what a time they had ! Amid shrieks of joy they played the old time honored games of Spin the Platter, Winkum, 5lusical Chairs and Post Office. This was the turning point in John Mc- Master ' s life. He now woke up to the fact that all he needed to be popular was to become sociable and always have some- thing to do. All through the party John was the center of attraction and after the affair was over he felt like he had a new lease on life. And like most women, Jane failed to do the expected thing and become enamored with John she went back to her old flame Harr , and left John in the lurch. And like most men do, he re- solved never, never to look at another woman. He didn ' t — for about one day and then he fell victim to a clever little girl who was all sympathy for his hurt feel- ings. So his feelings quickly recovered and he was again foremost in the social world of the school. And they call them the weaker sex!

THE TAMARACK I ' ayc forty-Huo 3 FORENSICS jT THE beginning of this semester when the call was isuerl for de- baters, 60 students turned out. The North Central debate league was organized October 10 and it was decided that the state league question : Resolved, that the United States should grant to the Phillippines immediate independence, should be used by the league teams. I- ' rom the 60 who turned out, 30 students were picked and organized into ten teams with the following personell : Weldon Schimke, captain, Helen I ' leiss, Lois Heavers; Gilbert Schade, ca])tain, -Margaret Kelly, Miriam Johnson; K ' en- netii Davis, captain, Margaret Coughlin, Leon Beckett; Orville Dunham, captain, Kafhryn Stedmon, Richard Foth ; Kather- ine Kiesling, captain, RIythe Pike. Martha wSchoening; Clinton McCracken, captain, Frank Brown, Harold Smothermon ; Ron- ald Phares, captain, vSterling Taylor, Wil- lard Buntray; John De Armand, captain, Richard Campbell, Jack Faulds ; Martin Burns, captain, Neilda Wilson, Dwver Hawley; Largaret Still, captain. Paul Crooks. Arkil Israel. Fifteen debates were held in three weeks. Ivich team debated three times. Each debater upheld the affirmative side once and the negative side once and then drew straws to determine which side he should take the third time. The team com- posed of Gilbert Schade, Miriam Johnson and Margaret Kelly went through the sea- son without a defeat. uring the debate series the judges kept an individual rating of each participant and at the end of the debates the eight students having the highest ratings were chosen, six to debate for the Kennedv medals and two to act as alternates. Those takmg part in the finals were : Affirmative: Weldon Schimke, r.ip- tain, Miriam Johnson, John De Armand. Negative: Kathcrine Kiesling, ca])tain, Kenneth Davis, Martin Burns. Alternates: ]$lythe Pike and Martin Burns. This final debate which was on the same league question was most hotly contested. -Ml the sjjeakers showed good stage pre- sence and their speeches were clear cut and possessed an exceptional quality of finish. ' Phe affirmative was given a two to one deci.sion although the judges had a diffi- cult time in deciding. Tho.se acting as judges were: John Shaw, L. C. Brad- ford and the Reverend Thomas Jeffries. Each member was presented with a gold medal by Principal Kennedy and these three were considered the best debaters in North Central. A trianglular debate league has been or- ganized in Spokane consisting of Lewis and Clark, Hillyard and North Central. It has been planned that a debate shall be held at each school on the night of Feb- ruary 13. Lewis and Clark will meet North Central in the North Central audi- torium, North Central will clash with Hill- ard and Lewis and Clark will go up against Hillyard at the Lewis and Clark high school. Those of the North Cen- tral squad from whom the triangular league team will be picked are : Margaret Coughlin, Weldon Schimke, Miriam John- son, John De Armand, Clinton Mc- Cracken, Kenneth Davis, Katherine Kies- ling, Donald Phares and Martin Burns. ' The regular junior and senior Ahlqui.st debates will be held sometime in the earlv I part of next semester. One hundred dol- lars in prizes is di.stributed among the win- ners of these debates bv the Ahlquist brothers of this city. All students are urge(| to turn out for debate next semes- ter if they are interested in this kind of work. Lee A. Meyer, debating coach, and his assistant, Miss Nita May, deserve a great deal of credit for their work with the stu- dents and for developing a keen interest in this activity among all the students at North Central. All the members of the various teams wish to thank the coaches for their instruction and the patient work they have done. A great portion of the success of the semester is due to the coaches and it has indeed l een a success- ful semester. - I? l ' a;li ' fnrly-lliyfi THE TAMARACK THE BAND NE OF the busiest and best se- mesters that the North Central band has ever had is just being completed, with a membership of 71 and a marching band of 54 pieces.

The crier, etc. part of the scheming mother was verv well portrayed by Wilhelmina Reaume. Lucile Helen Creighton is deserving of much praise for the way in which she plaved the part of Yvonne, the Gypsy girl, with all the weird attractiveness known to the I ' affc forty-fife I THE TAMARACK European Gypsy maids. William Harris, in his roll of the Due, was most satisfac- tory to the audience. Nerval Rader, as Kene Nannette ' s lover played well his romantic jjart as did Paul Kitto and Rich- ard Klynne who were also lovers. The crew of highwaymen did much to add flavor to the entertainment. The i)art of Santo, Reporello ' s hear, is particularly deserving of praise and his capers were most hcarlike. The part was taken by A. Edward Keats. Each character played or sang his part very well and the ensemble was considered the best ever produced in North Central. Too much credit cannot be given to the directors, C. Olin Rice, Miss Lucile Elliott, and Miss Elsa Pinkham, whose efforts did much to make the ojieretta a success. Also to Mr. Russell for his assistance in making sets. The dances which were coached by Miss Pinkham were most attractive. The following girls took part: Gypsy — Slephaiiia Sundbye, Rea Ruth Hiir,st, Claire Donovan, Betty Calahan, Avon CoiUts.

THE ORCHEvS ' l ' RA For many years the North Central or- chestra has been a leading factor in the success of school entertainments. Accord- ing to tradition the orchestra will play at the baccalaureate and at the commence- ment excercises. They also provide the music and fillers at the class play and operetta. The members spent much time and effort for the benefit of the school and they practice every Wednesday night under the directorship of C. Olin Rice, head of the music department. One-fourth credit is given each semester for this work. There are a number of members of the or- chestra in the graduating class. The first orchestra for this semester is as follows: first violins — Leah Lufkin, Eoline Johnson, Gladys Seely, Alberta McPhie, George Graham, Quentin Coffin, Frances Billerbeck, Irene Burke, Louise Markwood, Alta Geppert, Lowery Ben- nett and Jim Jordan.

ALUMNI ORCHESTRA This semester a most novel organiza- tion has been formed of North Central graduates ; namely, an all-star alumni or- chestra. The orchestra made its first ap- pearance at the pep convocation for the Thanksgiving game. And was presented again at a double pav convocation Decem- ber 17. The program was presented under the auspices of the band in order that some much needed unifonns and instruments might be purchased. The appearance of this orchestra was most welcome to the students and according to L. C. Bradford, director of the school band, This is the most brilliant and versatile aggregation on the coast. Their relation to the school as grads and former members of the band is unique. Their high regard for the inter- ests of the school and their willingness to support band activities is a standard of school spirit to which under grads may well aspire. The list of members is as follo ws: Dr. Riley Diviney, ' 14; Loring Overman, ' 17; John Bulmer and Robert Green, ' 18; Leighton Bailey, ' 22; Guy Winship, ' 19; and Byron McCoy, ' 24.

The CastleburA-s, people of wealth and position, are spending the summer in one of the cottages with their son, Julian, who is a dreamy rather unpractical ap- pearing sort of person. The Tweedles are aristocrats of the vil- lage and do not think much of the sum- mer cottagers. Their family has been well known for hundreds of years and it is almost l)eyond belief that one of their family would associate with one of those nobodies of the summer colony, much less to marry. W insora Tweedle, a comely village mai ' with an appearance of intelligence, is tht waitress at the Terrace and also takes care of the trade in the Antiquity Shop which belongs to her aunt. It is in the shop that young Julian makes the acquain- tance of W ' insora and having fallen in love does not realize what ails him, he lielicves the main attraction is the splendid .set of Bri.stol glass which he purchases and goes dail to see. As the plot continues there is consider able talk in the village and among the summer cottages about Julian and his Bristol glass. Both families are outraged to think their child .should be talked about The Senior Class Play Tweedles b Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon W il.son was presented the evenings of the IfMh and 17th of January in the North Central auditorium. Friday evening the leading roles were played by Mary Allison in the character of W ' insora and Robert Prit- chard as Julian. Saturday night Cynthia Cadwell and Don Cary Smith were the leading players. The cast for the play is as follows: Mrs. Rickets, a summer cottager ....Mary Burke Mrs. .Mherponc, mistress of the .Antiquity Shop..

One of the factors that added greatly to the attractiveness of the stage and the atmosphere of the plav were the rare antiques loaned by Spokane residents. One of ])articu]ar interest was a Grandfather ' s clock. All characters deserve much praise for their able interpretation of their parts and too much can not be said of the patience and able direction of Miss Lucile Elliott, dramatic coach. THE ART DEPARTMENT This semester the members of the Art department and the members of the Art club have been very busy doing their bit around the school. Their work adds greatly to tlie beauty of North Central. Students who are most advanced have de- signed and painted the scenery for the operetta. This semester the Art club, which consists mainly of active members of the Art department, has catalogued the pictures of the school and made the plates that hang below them ancl each week they changed the picture that is placed over the stairs outside Miss Gibson ' s office and arrange the notes concerning the artist. They also have charge of the show case near tiie cafeteria. They have added greatly to the efficiency of the Art de- partment by purchasing a daylight re- flector for class work. Many of the attractive posters which have been shown around North Central were designed by the students of the Art department with linoleum block stencils. The design used at Thanksgiving time, drawn and cut by Arnold Markham, was a pennant in the colors red and black with the word Indians written across. The new Indian head, symbolic of the name of North Central, Indians; and which is used by the rooters and the yell leader, was drawn by Ira Decker also a member of the Art department.

Elmer was a dandy boy, stated Parson HoUbrook as he was leaving to witness the Dempsey-Firpo fight w ' hich was held in New Jersey next month. Man ' people was at the cemetery for the cere- monies. Immediately after the burial the crowd swarmed to the home of the bride where the weddinK was to be staged. The home was beautifully de- corated with the flowers that had been used previously. The wedding broke up after a plea- sant vocal selection Who ' s Sorry Now rendered by the dead boys mother. After ac- companying the couple to the train the inhabitants left for their respective homes. The Clarrion Editor wishes the newlyweds many happy returns of the day and also its great sorrow to Mrs. Benjamin for the loss of Elmer.

EMILY WITHERSPOON LEVES FOR SEMINARY Was Saved by Meat Hook Miss Emily W itherspoon of Cripple Creek left last Thurs- day for White Horse Seminary in Horseshoe County, Wis. She will assume her duties there as a student in the History dept. 1 believe that the history course in good old White Horse is nice, stated Emily on departing. She left at 9 :46, the train being 46 minutes late. George Turner, another man of this city is engineering the train to White Horse where Emily is seeking her education. Before the train pulled out Mr. Turner was heard to say that his ant who is living in Mis- souri and who was Pres. of the Cripple Creek .Auxilcry which has done some danady things for the local people is sick with the lumbago. Emily was a very bright girl while attending districk School no. 49 here in this city. She has also been very fortunate so far in life as she has not met with any fatal accidents as yet. Fat Shank, local butcher, recalls one incident w ' hen Emily who was trying to catch a pigeon w ' hich was on his roof slipped and fell 30 feet only to be saved from instant death when she caught her neck on a meat hook which was outside the shop. She sustained a stiff neck and a few little pains that didn ' t amount to much. The Clarrion w-ishes to ex- press its sinserest wishes for Emily ' s outcome, and it is be- lieved that the Clarrion wishes will be full filled. The Clar- rion also wishes to state that the subscriptions are running far below last year ' s par. When you jumped over that fence you showed lots of agility.

Invests in Grass Ci ' TTER— Is Keen Kutter The Cripple Creek town hall has just bought a brand new iawiimower, the real reason yas because the grass was gel- ting so long that it was caus- ing all the horses in the ad- joining field to break down the fences trying to get over to a better plot of fodder. The new addition to the town hall sup- plies was certainly nice. The mower is equipped with a patent axe grinder which should be very handy in case one of the local farmers should lose his axe. Mrs. . ' ndy Smither says that she thinks the lawnmower is a dandy thing because it will help her to keep her Ralph awake during the warm summer months. The aquirement is a Keen Kutter which is handled by the local store. I ' ve got a three dollar bill. Impossible. Tell that to my dentist it ' s from him.

At this time there were about 900 girls enrolled in the school with no organization to reach them all. The purpose of the League is to develop in each and every girl through cooperative Miss Jessie Gibson, Director of Girls ' League activities, a sense of loyalty to the highest interests of the school, the community and the nation. Miss Gilison, who has been the director since it was organized, has been the main- stay. She, together with the cooperation of the girls has made it the well-known organization it is today. There are four departments to the League, the entertainment department, the vocational department, the personal effi- ciency department, and the social service department. At the beginning of every semester each girl signs up for the depart- ment she desires to work in. The social service department is limited to juniors and seniors. The principal work of this department is philanthropic work and it al-so helps the social .service bureau. Miss Helen McDouall of the language department is faculty director of the department and Mary Sartor is the student director. Every Chri.stmas this department takes charge of securing Christmas presents for all the orphans at the Spokane Children ' s home in order that they may have as happy a Christmas as others enjov. The personal efficiency department covers all athletics and health w-ork. The hiking club comes under this department. The club takes several hikes a semester in which the girls have an opportunity to work for an emblem as well as going out for the sport of hiking. Those who head this department are Miss Elsa Pinkham and Irene Smith. The vocational department has charge of all the vocational work that is carried on in the League. This department took charge of the distribution of Christmas seals this year and North Central sub- scribed her quota. Mi.ss Mabel Clayton of the history department and Lucia Austin are the leaders of this semester. All girls who have any dramatic ability are encouraged to join this department as this department has charge of the enter- taining of the League. They give a party every year for the girls of the school which is always a success and is appre- ciated by all. The heads of this depart- ment are Miss Bertha Boehme of the language department and Margaret Cough- lin. In the last year a creed has been adopted by the girls and a contest has also been held to secure a Girls ' League song. The first prize went to Ruth Bloomquist for the original music and to Gertrude Ham for the words. The second b Lulu Fyhrie, won $5 for the words. The dress regulations committee is com- posed of 12 girls who are elected in their respective departments, three in each de- partment, at the beginning of each se- mester. Ever since the regulations were adopted the League has given a style show once a _ ear to encourage proper dress for high school girls. The emblem chosen by the League in the spring of 1918 carries the motto of the League as represented by the three words at the head, Honor, Service, Loyalty. It is the honest effort and pride of every girl to uphold this motto to the best of her ability. 5 THE TAMARACK Page fifty BOYS ' FEDERATION L The Boys ' Federation was founded orifjinall}- to aid war campaigns. At the close of the war the educational and so- cial values f)f the oraj nization were so ap- preciated that it was thought fit to request Its reorganization on a permanent peace plan. The object was to promote activi- tives by which boys might develop per- sonal efficiency, competent leadership, and social respon.sibility. The new constitution provided for an Executive council, including officers elected bv the boys, class representatives, and one representative from each boys ' club. Three departments composed the T)rking end. They were the personal .ser- vice department, the community service department, and the school service depart- ment. Each (lei)artment has from 10 to 15 committees working under it. Social education and citizenship train- ing in North Central are built directlv upon the i)rincii)le that to learn is to do. Ciood psychologv demands that students not only receive impressions of good go ernment from their histon- and civic classes, but give expression of their know- ledge through cooperative self govern- ment. Council meetings are conducted with an adherence trj parliamentary law which might flatter some adult assemblies. Elec- tions are held according to civic procedure. -Most significant of all, .students learn through direct experience the lessons of social respon.sibility. By a recent check it was learned that 91 out of 100 boys who graduated last June had given time and service to the work of the school outside the class room. The boys ' work at North Central aims to supplement the class room in .sending into the social world of affairs socially trained men. A great deal of attention is given to the democracy and efficiency of the organiza- tion. In many ways the organization has been planned after the civic form of government. ' J vo years ago a new system of election was introduced. By this system to receive a nomination for an executive office, a petition mu.st be filled with at least 50 signatures. ThiS allows any student a fair chance to win an office. The election held is almost identical to the one held in the city. All students must previously register in order to vote. Primaries are first held and all nominees save two are eliminated from the finals. Nominees for the class officers are elected after the same manner except that only 15 signatures are required on the petitions. The offices of the oragni ation are pres- ident, vice president, clerk, treasurer, and financial secretary. During the present administration Robert Pritchard is presi- den ; Manley Douglas, vice president ; Del- bert Gildersleeve, clerk ; Hawley Cole, trersurer; and Neil I amson, financial sec- retary PEP CARNIVAL The fifth annual Pep Carnival was held under the au.spices of the Associated Stu- dent councils on November 21, between the hours of six-thirty and ten o ' clock p. m. Joe Greenough, manager of the 1923 Carnival, again served in that capacity and was assisted by Pauline Russell, assistant manager; Jack yuinn, head of construc- tion; Donald Disotell, head of publicity: Hawley Cole, head banker; Dorcas Leslie, decoration head ; and Elinor Hove, shows head. Total gross receipts of the 1924 Pep Carnival amounted to $1275, while ex- penses approximated $650, leaving about $625 for distribution among the 21 school organizations taking part in the Carnival. The attendance at this year ' s Carnival was over 3000. The management continued the policy inaugurated last year of making as much of the equipment as possible pennanent. Twenty- five steel ticket containers were purchased, portable partitions for use in the gynmasium were constructed, addition- al bunting for decoration purposes was used, and other kindred additions to per- manent equipment were made. The suc- cess of this and past Carnivals has as- sured the continuation of them, and this policy will undoubtedly materially decrease the cost of future Pep Carnivals. Following the precedent set last year. Mildred Louiselle was elected queen of the fifth annual Pep Carnival, and her coronation was a feature of the evening. GIRLS ' LEAGUE CENTRAL COUNCIL Miss Jkssik E. Gibson, Director President Margaret Hod ' ins Vice President Eleanor Hove The Girls ' Lcaffue centra! council meets every two weeks. It is the executive body of the League and is composed of the four general officers, the head of the four departments, chairman of the room representatives, chairman of the dress regulation committee and the faculty advisors. The council conducts elections, cares for all funds, manages the dress regulations, promotes high standards of scholarship and conducts and supervises the League honor roll. At the end of each semester the names of all girls who have Secretary Aileen Chinn Treasurer Helen Fowler fulfilled the retinircnienls are placed on the honor roll. This semester the council has stn lied jiarlia- menlry law uiuler the direction of Miss Mabel Clayton. The Girls ' League Constitution has lieeti printed and the songs are also being pub- lished. The library clerks have been added to the social service department as a new commit- lec. The News campaign was also managed by the coinicil. The Lewis and Clark central coun- cil was entertained at a lea given by the mem- bers of the Leagues ' central council. iiw SVji: Page fifty-three THE TAMARACK President ASSOCIATED STUDENT COl ' NCILS Miss Jkssik Gibson and L.

This requires much effort and lime on the part of the members in order to make it a success. In the spring the club prints the La Tertulia paper. This is put out to further interest in Spanish. Another important event in the yearly pro- gram of the club is the Spanish essay contest. All students who have taken or are taking Spanish arc eligible. After the papers have been judged, the student who has the best essay is awarded a loving cup. This contest makes the Spanish department more popular and arouses a deeper and more interesting study of the lan- guage. k THE TAMARACK p„ ,, CAMP FIRE GIRLS C ' •J.

I age sixty-seven THE TAMARACK THE HISTOKY OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY ' 25 (Continued from page 24) tion tliey set out to conquer all iheir studies and to do it well. The evil spirits of physics and chemistry caused many niiijhts of dread. The arrows of Newton, Archimides, and countless others con- stantly menaced the r)ravcs. However, the leading members of the tribe gave the weaker ones a helping hand, and thus they passed on to the Senior year with but a minor decrease in numbers. Seniors at last. For hours, for days, for weeks the members of the class of January ' 25 labored late into the dusk and into the early hours of the morning, striv- ing- striving to reach the grade — perfec- tion. Temptations, no matter how great, could not persuade the tribe to leave their endeavors for even one short moment. Recognizing the importance of coopera- tion, service and loyalty, the redskins called a council, chose their leaders and decided upon a tribal emblem. It was (luring this year that one of the members of the band received a fitting prize for writing the best vocational pla -. Another of the tribe won honor by placing first in the National Oratorical contest. As the year wore on the tribe became Senior A ' s. Again they met in conference to choose leaders, and to carry on the ideals and traditions of the band. At this I)oint the Braves nearly met with disaster for it was necessary to select a photo- grapher, and to choose gowns for gradua- tion. The dissension was put down and they once more became a united band. Xow came the big pow wows that would mark the last days of January ' 25 in the camp of the North Central Indians. First came the Senior Class I ' lay. Close upon its heels followed baccalaureate. Then in ra])id succession came Kid day, Class day, and -commencement. Thus did the tribe of Januarv 1925 end their career in the North Central encampment, but never will tliey forget their tribe and in spite of (■ver thing they will always be a loyal and devoted band. SIGN ED- DOROTHY RINKENBERGER MARGARET HODGINS HO ' ARD LARSON TAMARACK ENTIRELY SCHOOL PRODUCT ( nc of the factors which has helped greatly to make the January ' 25 Tamarack a success is the attractive cover design which was drawn by Eugene Almquist, who is cartoonist for the News and a stu- dent of the Art department.

WILD OATS (CEREAL) .1 Drama in One Part ' T was a rainy night in China-town one of those nights that make a shiver chill vour spine. But a few figures were seen sulking here and there through the dimly lighted ancient criminal district. The never ending slashing rain seemingly spelled an ominous forboding and the ruth- less wind sang a deathlike chant as it whistled through the dark narrow alleys. Little Ming Toy was scurrying to her old father ' s bedside where he lay dying. She was a coy little oriental of perhaps sixteen, and a nicer little girl could not be found. Just as she passed the next alley she was clutched from behind and a villianous hand with long jagged finger nails reached her terrified gaze, no, she gasped, and a strugle ensued but she did not yield, a second scream that was blood curdling was heard an again the defiant answer which seemed to quiver, stabbed the down- pour, no! and on went the night. Her morale was broken, I ' ll tell, oh please, I ' ll tell! You can get chop suey right across the street. o — o This month ' s prize goes to the guy that is so dumb that he is coaxing his mother to let his little sister go to Gonzaga be- cause he likes Stockton so well.

Zimmerman, new North Cen- tral grid mentor, the North Side Indians went through the most successful season in North Cen- tral history. Not only did the team go through the season undefeated but it also made history for the school when it completed the season without be- ing scored upon. The Indians rolled up a total of 56 points to their opponents ' zero. The team played five games all of which were against crack teams. . t the beginning of the season little was known of how the team would turn out. The material was admittedly good but the same material had suffered a rather rough vo age through the previous season and no one was willing to predict what kind of a team would develop. To add to the wor- ries of their Red and Black backers a new coach was taking the helm and his task was far from easy for he had to pick an almost new back field and recast the line. There were no experienced halfbacks and the new coach was forced to develop a pair to fill the shoes of the former stars McOrath and Jones. The spirit of the squad was good however, and by hard work and long practice the Indians had a formidable machine to meet what proved to be their toughest opponents in the first game of the season when they journeyed to Portland to take on Washington high, champions of that city. The team showed wonderful defensive strength and fla.shes of a powerful offense which, due to lack of practical experience in games was as yet inconsistent. However, the potential strength was there. The team fought hard and by .showing superior defensive work- coupled with brilliant flashes of power was able to pull the game out of the fire by a 3-0 score. After the Portland game a three weeks ' layoff took the edge off the squad and only a 3 to 0 victorv was chalked up against the fighting Gonzaga Bullpups. The comments on the result of this game proved a thorn in the flesh of the team and when the Indians met the crack Wa-Hi gridders they were fighting mad and registered a 12-0 win. The week following saw a 7-0 victory over Yakima, which showed that the offense was still inconsistent in the pinches. However, they succeeded in rolling up a total vardage of over 500 to 44 for the visitors. After this game came the poli.shing off process for the annual Lewis and Clark game. The offense was greatly developed and when the team took the field for the tussle it presented one of the most powerful teams both on the offense and defense that ever had donned the moles kins for North Cen- tral. Doped to be a very close game it developed into a contest which showed North Central superior in every depart- ment to their ancient rivals who up to this time had won every game. The punch through the line was powerful, while the ability to run ends and through broken fields was remarkable for a set of backs who at the beginning of the season were doped to be ve ry mediocre. The game turned out to be a 31-0 victory for North Central, which is the worst drubbing Lewis and Clark has received since 1912, when another Red and Black team beat them 62-6. The weather for the game was ideal, and 12,000 enthusiastic fans watched the teams battle. Besides being a football victory, it was also a victory for the North Central student body, who won various cups and pennants for their yelling ability. All of which made the day a perfect end for a perfect season. THE TAMARACK Page sn-enty-two THE PORTLAND GAME Unlike most years the North Central Indians started the season with an inter- sectional grid battle when they met Wash- ington high school of Portland, Ore., on ( October 4. The Washingtonians had four times won the interscholastic championship of Portland and were strongly favored to win from the fighting red skins of Spo- kane who were going into their first battle of the season. The teams met on the rain soaked Multnomah stadium field and be- fore 4000 eager football fans waged one of the prettiest grid battles ever seen in the ] ose City. For three quarters the teams battled back and forth with neither eleven able to push over a score. It was not until the fourth quarter that the In- dians were able to advance the ball within striking distance of the Maroon and Gold goal. After a powerful line attack the ball was placed on the Washington 15-yard line and being held for two downs Clare Pritchard, kicking ace of the Indians, dropped back and booted a beautiful place kick high through the bars for a 3-0 vic- tory for the Red and Black Warriors. Clean sportsmanship characterized both teams. The Indians were well received and entertained royally during their brief stay. All courtesy was shown the victors and it was audaciously conceded that the best team had won. THE GONZAGA DUAL After a three weeks ' layoff following the Portland game the Indians took the field to do battle with the Gonzaga Bull- pups. The game proved to be one of the hardest of the season as the young Bull- dogs put up a strong defence which after the first quarter the Warriors were unable to puncture consistantly. After an exchange of punts following the first kick-off the Red and Black squad made a march of 50 yards to the enemies one-yard line where a fumble lost the ball and a chance to score. Had this touch- down been made the aspect of the entire game would probably have been changed as the lost chance seemed to take the pep out of the North Central team. The team continued to play a brilliant game on de- fense, however, and only once was the goal in danger. At this point, however, the l lue and White failed to make yardage and attempted a place kick which was smothered under a cloud of Red and Black jerseys. Play was about even until the last quarter when the Indians again made a determined march to the Bullpup 15-yard line where Clare Pritchard again was called upon to boot the pigskin between the bars. As usual Clare delivered and another 3-0 victory was won for North Central. o — o WA-HI BATTLE The next game, which fell on Novem- ber 1, saw the North Siders in action against the Walla W alla gridders at Walla Walla. Owing to the score of the Gonzaga game the Blue and White was favored to win over the Red and Black battlers but the Indians were keyed up to such a fight- ing pitch that it was impossible for the ' a-Hi team to do much effective playing. They were on the defensive most if the time and it was only the brilliant punting of Holmgren, star end, that kept the score down to a 12-0 win for North Central. The first touchdown came as the result of a fumbled pass by a Wa-Hi back behind his own goal line which was recovered by Hogle. The next touchdown came after a smashing line attack had carried the ball from the middle of the field to the one-yard line from where Gildersleeve pushed it over for the count. Another spectacular play of the game came when Rohwer broke through the line and dashed 75 yards for a touchdown only to be called back because the officials ruled that the quarter was over before the ball was in motion. The entire team played high class football showing a strong defense and a powerful driving offense. o — o INDIANS MEET YAKIMA In their second appearance on the home field the Indians humbled the Yakima team, to the tune of 7-0. The apple belt squad presented a crack eleven and were strongly in hopes of trouncing the Indians so they could again lay claim to the state title which they did last year. Such hopes however, soon went glimmering when the powerful North Central aggregation be- gan to roll up yardage on the Orange and Black line. The score in no way indicates the gist of the battle for when the smoke Page seventy-three THE TAMARACK of the frav cleared the Warriors had a total vardage of 298 to 44 for the oppon- ents. ' The score of the game came after a sustained line attack by the Indians which finally sent Gildersleeve over for the tcnichdown and Rohwer added another point when he kicked goal. Yakima threatened to score only twice when in the first quarter two place kicks were tried both of which failed by a wide margm. From then on the Yakima team was forced to rely on a punting game which succeeded in keeping their goal line out of danger most of the time. The husky North Central Imesmen showed to advantage in the game many times going through and snaring opposmg backs for a loss. A wet slipper} ' field prevented an open style of play but the Indian backfield was always good for a few yards through the line. o — o THE LEWIS AND CLARK GAME •1 I. In the most glorious game North Cen- tral has had for many years the powerful Indian team tore a 31-0 victory from the skin of the Lewis and Clark Tiger. The North Side aggregation completely out- classed and outplayed their local oppon- ents who according to the dopesters should have won bv a 7-0 score on a dry field. The best part of it was that the field was fast and dry yet the Indians flashed a quartet of the fastest backs and a line of the most powerful high school gndders ever seen on a local field. The North Central team was a collection of stars playing perfect teamwork with but two purposes in mind ; namely to win for their school and their coach. Soon after the first whistle Manley Douglas broke away for the first sensa- tional plav when he flew around end for a 30 vard ' run. This paved the way iortht first ' touchdown which Delbert Gilder- sleeve bucked across. Soon after the next kickoff Douglas tore around end for 35 vards more which again enabled the ■powerful Gildersleeve to buck the ball over Lewis and Clark then took a brace and held until the half ended with the score standing 12-0 against them. The Tigers came back strong but their rush was soon stopped and the North Central offensive again held sway. On an end run with Rohwer and Douglas carrying the ball the pigskin was advanced to the middle of the field where Stevens, fleet Red and Black quarter, broke through the line and after dodging two opponents and evading Luck, stellar Lewis and Clark safety man, ran 55 yards for the third touchdown. Another 40 yard march put the ball on the three-yard line where R. Pritchard, hard hitting fullback who had replaced Gildersleeve, bucked it across and C. Pritchard who went in for Douglas, scored the extra point with a splendid kick. In the fourth q uarter another sensational play brought the crowd of 12,000 wild rooters to their feet when Rohwer slashed off tackle, whirled by the secondary de- fense, side stepped the last Orange and Black outpost and dashed 80 yards for the last touchdown of the game. The victorv was flawless in ever ' re- spect The team worked like a smooth run- ning machine. The linesman opened wide holes and ran perfect interference, the passes from center were all faultless, the generalship of the quarterback was superb and the advancement of the ball by the powerful backs was spectacular. All this being evidence of the splendid coaching that the Indians received from their men- tor Clarence A. Zimmerman. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL This year saw one of the best freshman teams ever developed under Red and Black colors. The voung pigskin pushers going through the season undefeated and no op- ponents crossed their goal line. Much promising material was uncovered and prospects look bright for future years when the yearlings are working on the first Tuch credit for the victorious frosh is due to Lloyd Williams who worked long and faithfullv to teach the young Warriors their tactics. Many times the coach scrinri- maged with the freshman and taught them how to go through their paces. After the frosh season was over some of the star performers staved out and were able to make places on the second team. Although the scores of all their games were small the games were all battles as the voung Indians took on all available op- ponents. Among the teams played were [he Gonzaga J. Y. A., McKinley junior high and the Chattaroy high school team. THE TAMARACK Page seventy-four THE TRIBE Captain Edgie Hogle played his last and best year as captain and leader of the championship squad. Kdgie was a demon on defense and capable of snaring long for- ward passes and was placed on the all-city team for the third consecutive ear. Captain-elect Gildersleeve, playing his third year at fullback won the respect of all the critics and showed rare line plung- ing ability coupled with great speed. Oscar was selected b - his teammates to lead the 1925 eleven. Wayne Summerville, at right end, proved to be a tower of strength and a capa1)le running mate for Captain Hogle, He won his letter for the first time and will probably be back next year. Lloyd Rirkett, playing his first year at end, made a good showing and was always able to step in one of the regular ' s places without weakening the team. Bostwick, the giant tackle, proved to be one of the most powerful lineman in the city always playing a strong offensive game besides being a stone wall on de- fense. Landed on the all-city team for the second time. Ed Lowery, playing his last year on the Red and Black team proved to be a power in the line both on defensive and offensive. His ability to smear trick plays was un- canny. Another all-city selection. Webster McCarty, a capable understudy for the regular tackles, .should be a power- ful man in the line next year. Loren Haynes, a light fast lineman whose charging ability was second to none and having as his specialty the knack of running good interference. Don Axtell, one of the most consistant lineman ever developed at North Central, whose graduation will leave a big hole to be filled next season, placed at right guard on the all-city eleven. Bill Becker, of the scrubs, fought his wa into enough first team games to win Ihe coveted letter. Although handicapped by lack of weight he had lots of fight. Jack ( raham, holding down the pivot l)osition for the second year, proved a valuable man to the team. His passing and all around play was of a high caliber. 0 , , led Rohwer, shifted from quarterback X to halfback, developed into a consistant ground gainer and placed on the m thical all-city eleven at left half. Manley Douglas, one of the .speediest halfbacks to ever don the moleskins for a Red and Black eleven, used his speed to a good advantage in the Lewis and Clark game. C. Pritchard, a hard hitting halfback whose educated toe won two battles for the team this season. R. Pritchard, handicapped by an injurv early in the season was unable to do battle until the Yakima game. He hit the line hard and was used at fullback and half. Matthew Stevens, one of the most con- sistant quarterbacks that ever barked the signals. L ' sed good generalship at all times and ran his team like a veteran. His ability to pivot and stif farm opposing ends made many gains for the Red and Black. Hugh Cheesman, as manager of the team, was as capable a man as ever handled the business end of the game. His work was partly responsible for the won- derful support of the student body. Coach C. A. Zimmerman, in his first season as coach of the North Central foot- ball squad, established history for the school by developing a team that has never had its goal line crossed. He won the whole-hearted respect of all the boys and there wasn ' t a member of the squad who woukln ' t give all he had for his coach. GIRLS ' TENNIS TOURNAMENT GiRi.s Tennis Squad The girls ' tennis team of North Cen- tral afjain ])r()ved its ability when it took the annual tennis tournament from Lewis and Clark for the second consecutive year, early this fall. The series of this fall was played after the manner of a round robin tournament. Each girl had to be de- feated three times before she was eliminated from the contest. Three North Central girls were successful in reaching the individual finals, Khoda Mahoney, Mable Skone and June McDonald, while only one Lewis and Clark girl remained. In the final tournament for the city cham- pionship. Glenna Jacobs, Lewis and Clark rei)resentative, was eliminated in the semi- finals, also Mable Skone one of North Central ' s racketeers; leaving two mem- bers of the Red and Black scjuad to fight for the championship title. In the final cla.sh June McDonald emerged victorious thus winning the title of girls ' Spokane City champion. The North Central girls took the lead at the beginning of the tournament and held it all through the season. As each match won counted one point for the school re- presented North Central was successful in securing 21 points to their opponents 15 or 21 of the 36 matches played. The prospect for the coming season is considered very good by the coach, Miss Elsa M. Pinkham, with more than half the team back along with Captain-elect June McDonald. A good deal of credit should be given the coach for the success- ful season according to the girls who trained under her supervision. k .5, Fagc sei cnty-sevcn THE TAMARACK THE NOVICE RACE THE ANNUAL CROSS COUNTRY In a closely contested race John White nosed out Hill Johnson for first place in the annual cross country race. The win- ner ran a pretty race setting the pace most of the way. A large field of starters faced the tape for the annual non-letterman classic. This was the first race of the season and gave Coach Taylor a chance to look over the largest part of his squad in action. As .)nly students who have never won letters in cross country are allowed to participate there is always keen competition. The winner finished strong and made fast time for the course. The boy who wins the novice is presented with a beautiful gold medal. Much material was uncovered in the race, much of which was of the fresh- man class who in future years should go a long way in putting the long distance squad in the win column. The fir.st five who finished were John White, Hill Johnson, Kenneth Ryan, Orville Dunham, and Ben TTaves. The Indian Marathon team went down to defeat at the hands of the Tiger squad in its annual race when three of the rival long distance men finished ahead of the first North Central man. Captain Hansen was the first runner to cross the tape for the Red and Black but finished fourth in the race. Spectators and runners alike shivered in the cold wind which swept across the course making it impossible to establish any records for the distance. The rival team was made up of veteran runners who because of their experience were able lo conquer the green team most of which were running their first race. However, after the first three men crossed the tape competition was close and exciting. Coach J. Wesley Taylor expressed himself as being more than satisfied by the showing made bv the team as much new and val- uable material was uncovered. The first ten who crossed the line were; Don Bur- rus, L. C, Wagner, L. C. Myrene, L. C, Han.sen, N. C, White, N. C, McDonnell, I,. C, McDonnell, L. C, Dunham, N. C, Rirkett, N. C. Ryan, N. C.

SECONI) TEAM FOOTBALL The fighting second string confined most of its efforts this season to whipping the first team into condition and only one outside game was played by the scrub team. The game was played against the Endicott team at Endicott, Wash. The teams were evenly matched although the sagebrushers out weighed the second stringers. After battling for three quar- ters on almost even terms the Endicott eleven advanced far enough to boot a field goal between the bars and win a 3-0 vie- Men s Outfitter High Grade Merchandise.

Captain Becker, of the scrubs, was the outstanding linesman in the game. His lack of weight was made up for by his fighting spirit and his ability to get through the opposing line and bring down speedv backs before they got started. The second team certainly deserves all of the credit that is given them this sea- son for aside from this game they con- tented themselves with turning out faith- fully every night to receive the bumps and knocks th ' ev have to take to get the first team into tip-top shape. The lineup was as follows: ends, Birkett and Macri; tackles, Minnick and Soike ; guards, Becker (C.) and Armstrong; center, Mac- Donald; halfbacks, Hughes, Dollan and Havnes; fullbacks, Gilbertson and Ran- iger; quarterbacks, Haynes and Fait. o — o Mel: And how ' s your brother Melba?

The lettermen to report were Fred Mitchell, iMel Sohns, Lloyd Birkett, Jack Graham, Ted Rohwer, and Don Axtell. With these veterans in suits the squad rounded into shai)e rapidly and was soon showing mid season form with Sohns and Mitchell wrinkling the net with regularity while Buck was showing his old time speed at the pivot position. Graham and Rohwer were elected to take care of the defense which the_ did in a high class manner. The reserve strength of the squad is also very strong with Stevens and the Hanson brothers ready to take a forward position and Axtell and Lowery read - to step into the guard jobs.

The Indians took the vifarpath for the first time when they scalped the Millwood quintet to the tune 48-4. Speed and ability to hit the basket coupled with a tight defense featured the game. The next encounter saw the Indians romp home with the long end of a 23-11 score against the (jonzaga Bullpups. The tribe was going like a house on fire and in the succeeding two weeks met and defeated by decisive scores the Hillyard, Coeur d ' Alene, and Colville quintets. At this time the Indians were ambushed by Davenport who, on their own floor, took the team by storm and gained the long end of the score. A return game was immediately scheduled as the squad was anxious to tangle with them again. The Christmas holidays brought no rest for the basketeers as they were slated for a barnstorming trip through Montana where they met and conquered some of the best teams of the state including Butte high, champions of the state and Montana representatives at the 1924 National meet.

Many critics there ventured the opinion that the victors showed the greatest teamwork ever displayed on their floor. The next victory came at Missoula where the Wa.shingtonians again came out on top with a 37-2 score. This game w ns featured hy the close guarding of Graham and Rohwer who held the opposing for- wards to a lone field goal while Sohns, Mitchell and I5irkett were hitting the ring for the counters. At Butte the state champions were snowed under by a 31-7 score in a game featured hy wonderful teamwork on the part of the Red and Black. The next game was played against one of North Central ' s former coaches when E. B. Godfrey trotted his squad onto the maple floor to oppose the North Siders at Great Falls. Although the Great Ivills bo s showed much fight they were out- classed by the Red and Black team and went to defeat by a 48-8 score.

Close by, like diamonds sparkling g ' Jw in the sun, the Spokane River moved 1 serenely to the sea, surmounting obstacles like some great monster. Seated in true Indian fashion around a campfire were the papooses of the camp. In their midst stood a tall learned medicine man, relating legends of how the tribe, like the mighty river, had endeavored to overcome all difficulties. For the first year the young Indians struggled through the difficult prob- lems under the guiding hand of the older warriors and braves. At the end of the first year they knew all the rules of the camp and were brave enough to go into the second year of their training. The day came when the young Indians were in- structed by their senior members that before they could enter combat with a tiger they would have to con |uer such animals as biology, geometry, Latin and English. These animals proved to be too fero- cious for a few but the greater number went on. They now took another step forward and being uppcrclassmen, were given more privileges around the camp. Once again, as in the previous years, they found larger animals with which to combat. But these on the other hand, which were physics. United States history, and French, were much larger and many of the young Indians lacked the required skill to conquer them and were left behind. Then came the football war, in w-hich a few were able to take part. These proved their valor, and returned with many battle scars but not defeated. . l last the young Indians faced their final batii . grand council was held and a leader was chosuu and many of the problems of the battle were dis- cussed. As they were now young braves they wt : able to give advice to the papooses. As was the custom of the tribe, a huge pow-wd was held before the last football war of the year; also a war dance in which only the young braves, who were dressed in their gaudiest colors, took part. With Student Support, their famous bow, they shot the football arrow into the midst of the Tigers and brought about the greatest massacre for many years. Many trophies were brought home from this ictory and there was gre at rejoicing in camp. Out of the five basketball arrows only the fir two hit the mark and the last three were shattere -As they nearcd the end of their battle they si i aside a day as Papoose Day. Al this time all the young braves and the Indian maidens, as the age old custom stood, dressed in the regalia of their childhood. Then came the day of great ceremonies, when a wise medicine man explained to them about the dif- ficulties of the future. Last came the greatest ceremony of all, Gradu:. lion. On this event the young Indians became braves and one by one they W ' alked up and receive ' their parchments from a grizzled old warrior. They were now prepared to fight a larger battle than any of those which they fought with the Tigers, The Battle of Life. LEAH PATTOX, Chairm; PAUL L. DIEDIKER CHARLES E. BENEDIC ♦ Page thirty-two Class Will WE, THE graduating class of June, 1925, of rth Ccmral High School, after vainly • ching l(ir three weeks for a lawyer who lid tell us, free gratis for nothing, the rrect and lawful form for drawing up a will, have at last, becoming desperate, lalvcn the task upon our own shoulders, and submit the following for your approval, regardless of forms, conventions, and legalities; W ' e l equeath P. Loren Haynes to the next class, just as he was left to us, hoping that he will not disappoint them as he has the last three classes. (Note: P. Loren says he ' d like to leave his mar- celled hair to P. Loren Haynes.) Mrs. Douglass ' s little boy, Manly, leaves a full- knglh graduation picture of himself to the Girls ' League, as he was unable to accommodate all the ll.W . ' irls who came to him begging for a signed photograph. V e wanted Gene .Mmquist to leave something to Jerrie Binnard, but he said everj ' time he thought of leaving her at all, he most always burst into tears, fo we tactfully withdrew. Dorothy McClure wills her hand-tinted make-up to ra X ' aughn. 1- vcrctt Hcnning leaves L ' na Mae Decker to the under care of the Junior Set. Eleanor Hove leaves her frivolous and fickle nalurc and delicate and fragile physique to the girl.s ' swimming team, in remembrance of the many happy hours she has spent watching and envying them as they gamboled in the deep. Our own sheik, Don .Axtell, wills to Xeil Lamson his taking ways with women. W ' e bequeath the space in front of Miss Gibson ' s ffice to the coming crop of debutantes and their gentlemen friends. Ralph Young leaves his loud voice and boisterous manner to Madolyn Dcvereaux, that she may be letter equipped to protect herself from the hard knocks which this cruel world gives to the meek and lowly. Bernadette Dunn and Freeman Frost leave the many happy and joyful hours which thc ' have spent in North Central together to Lewis Bostwick and Bridget Toulouse. Margaret Coughlin and June Reeves leave their ten-year friendship to — but on second thought, there are so few people who are worthy of a gift like that that they ha e decided to take it along with them. Besides, they will probably need it for a great many more years. ' e leave Madoh-n Devereaux and Dell crt Gil- derslceve to each other, with the hope that there will be no more bloofl-shed and hard blows than necessary. Incidentally, we leave the Xews office a new pair of shears. (Xote: That last was very s ubtle. Only a .select few will be able to see the joke.) Francis Horatio Brandt, father of the class, wills one hundred copies of his latest literary masterpiece, Getting By Big At High School or How I Earned Thirty-Two Credits to the frosh, hoping that they will profit by his illustrious example. Lucia . ustin bequeaths her A in Latin S, better known as ergil, to W ' eldon Schimke. cldon hopes that Miss Evans will consider this gift legal and binding, but he says he has his doubts. Margaret Still leaves her strictly natural school- girl complexion to Helen Hazen, not that Helen needs a new one particularly, but Margaret wanted to leave it to someone who wouldn ' t hide it wider an incJi of enamel. George . . .Anderson wills his sweet and winning smile to Howard Doust. Jack Graham leaves a tinted picture of himself lo be placed on Mr. Kennedy ' s desk as a delicate reminder of the good old days when one man was willing to carry the burden of the whole school on his shoulders. We consider this a fitting end for this our last will and testament. LYXXE HE.JiTFlELD, Chairman XOR AL R. DER DOX GR.AY I ' age IhirtythrK Class Prophecy ESIDE a glowing bed of embers, a blanket- ed figure was huddled. It proved to be Francis Frenchy Brandt, president of the June class of ' 25, who was idly smok- ing a dream-pipe. Thus old Indian Chief Brandt ' s dream ran : Twenty years had elapsed since the June ' 25 class had left North Cen- tral. The class prophecy committee had stuck to- gether and had planned to return for a short visit. This had at last come true, for we were speeding toward our old home town from a far distant city in Greenland. The trip was made in the Hottentot, a Zepplin that had the Shenandoah for a grand- mother, and that could trace all of its ancestors back CO the purest of all the bluebloods in the history of the ships of the Ozone. It was not long before we arrived at the Union Station. We left our good ship, and were surprised but pleased when Hillyard Johnson ran up to carry the baggage out to the waiting car. We found it to be an ice truck to keep us cool, or in other words to make us feel at home. We were taken to the Davenport hotel under the guidance of Lloyd Bir- kett. There, turning the cylinder doors was our old friend Manly Parrot Douglass. We were given our rooms, but could not take possession until Everett Henning, John .Armstrong, and Donald Axtell had finished their scrubbing and dusting. That evening we were entertained in the Isabella room. While having dinner Jack Graham gave a vocal solo, which was a Japanese love song over a bowl of soup. His timing was perfect for he did not miss an oyster during the entire meal. An added attraction was in the form of George A. .Anderson plaving a shoe-horn solo in his hat-band by the use of his hair-lip. Lynne Heatfield accompanied him on a string of noodles. We were then guests at the Liberty theater. From the loges of the show house we gazed with awe at our old friend Xorval Bartley Rader, who was co-starring with Miss Eleanor Hove in Loves Broken Mug, with Eleanor talking the part of the mug. Rader ' s performance was brilliant. He came into the scene amidst a deafening peal of thunder. Burnadette Dunn appeared in an entangled tango with Jack Donkey, a half-brother to Jack .Vance. They were well received. The concluding number was given by the great syncopated orchestra com- posed of Fred Jarivs, drummer Harlin McKinney, violinist leader; Robert Knccbone, jews-harp; Marie Pa{ c thirty-four Xicodeinus, saxaphone; . rlene Dewey, piano; ii field Coffin, trombone; Irene Louise Smith, Cornet and Elmer .Xndcrberg on the flute. The famoi: orchestra was received with great applause. The next morning, after a hearty breakfast w taxied to our dear old place of learning. We wei into Mr. Kennedy ' s office and reviewed the old day- when we were in school, causing Mr. Shaw, M) Bradford, Miss Maltby, Miss Greenberg and othi teachers many worries. Mr. Keiniedy then informe us that we were to be his guests at convocation. .After all the students were seated the eyes of thi committee started roving the lower floor. We founc that the classes were still in the same order as thi; had been in former days. Our glances then liftci to the balcony. We were horror stricken at wh:i we saw. There sat only a group of infants in theii mothers ' arms. We asked who they could possibl. be. The reply was, Why that ' s our freshman class. It was not until convocation started that we Icaniotl that Laura Elizabeth Edwards had taken the plac. of Miss Gibson, who is now Dean of Women at on( of the big colleges in the East. We were still mon surprised to learn that Miss Wilson had resigned and Dorothy Marie Devine was faithfully filling he: place. We were then entertained with a piccolo sob ■dayed by Professor Ronald Rice, who had takci his father ' s place as Dean of N ' orth Central music The sweet refrains he renderd were, The Shin Scene from Tales of Hoffman, and It ' s Fruitini Time in Dardcnella. A short talk was rendered b one of Spokane ' s most prominent women, whom wi discovered to be Margaret Coughlin. When the asseml)ly was over we continued oui lour of inspection. We soon came upon our old classmate Inez Keller, the once famous actress, whi was now polishing woodwork on the first floor to show her school spirit. The last place we visited was the print shop. Here we had a long talk with -Mr. Green. He informed us about many of our classmates. He said that Caroline Ward was model- ing for F. O. Bergs, and that Erma Schumaker was a gardner. At least she was raising little Spuds on Clifford street. We were then surprised to hear that Myrtle Richardson and Colwyn Jones had been hap- pily married a week ago by the Rev. .Alton Rinkcr. who is now minister at the I ' niled Presbyterian church. Fred Mitchell who had been appointed head (Continued on page 90) Calendar ' ' ' ' I ' - ' G with the first day of this term w ' w this calendar has been compiled to give  vi ' ' • ' ff ' ' ' e summary as to the dates of ' Vj A the important events of the final semester tkdJUV ' he graduating class of June ' 25.

OU HAVE all heard that the time one Spends in high school is the happiest time of his life. Along with it has been men- tioned worry-free youth, caring only for joy and a good time. Yet how many people, especially older ones, ever stop to realize the serious importance of one ' s schooling up to and through high school ? It is an admitted fact that the mind is more plastic and receptive and that one ' s habits are chiefly formed before he is eighteen. Eighteen is generally about the age he is when he is graduated from high school. Then does it not stand to reason that he lias not been merely having the best time possible? Does it not bear analysis he has done more than enjoy himself? He has been laying the foundation for his entire future hy acquiring and cultivating the habits that are to make up his personality and character in the future. Therefore, along with hav- ing your good time, people, remember that your whole later personality and success depend upon the kind of training you are giving yourself now, and the kind of habits you are forming evcrj ' day. Cultivate the right ones, and you need have no fear for the future. It ' s a great deal easier to accustom yourself to practices of industry, honesty, cheer anci helpfulness before you get older, when jour brain will be less easily molded and less suceptible to thi modeling done hy aplication of your will-power in accepting or rejecting the good or bad of your environment. jji He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much.- Elbert Hubbard. CARRY ON ! As the seniors of June, 1925, step out into the world and say good-bye to North Central, like all classes before them, they do not know whether tn laugh or cr ' , be happy or sad. W hichever way it is. the feeling is certainly poignant enough to makt them realize that a real milestone has been passed Phey are leaving North Central, with its dear tradi- tions, to those who entered after they did. They depart feeling they have done their best by what classes went before them left for the class of June ' 2.S to do. They have upheld and will continue to up- hold the standards of man and womanhood taught to them while loxally supporting the dear old red fnyc thirty-eight ■,.m hlack. They feel sure that her standards will ( oiitinue to improve as they work their way into the hearts of those upon whom the future of N ' orth Central ilcpends. The alumni before them did all ihcy coidd for the past; the seniors of ' 25 have tried to follow their example in the present. It is for those that are left behind to keep her forging ahead Ml the future. Surely they will keep North Central the kind of school that one can be justly proud to have graduated from I Virtue is a subordination of the passions to the intellect. It is to act in accordance with your high- est convictions. It does not consist in believing, but in doing. — Robert lugersoll, ; ; YOUR DIPLOMA Your diploma — what does it mean to you? Has 11 been the sole objective of the four years of study, worry, tears and pleasure of your high school rourse? Is it, to you, the all-powerful document that makes college entrance possible? Will you trea- sure it for itself alone:- Or does it mean infinitely more? It is the sj-mlxjl of the four years of pain :ind pleasure, joy and sorrow that you have exper- ienced in high school. Its real worth may be mea- sured only by the amount of yourself and your per- ■-onality that has been given in service to those around you, during the four years of your high -chool career. Xo one in the world has done the things or had experiences just exactly as you have; therefore there is no other diploma anywhere that means the same as yours. Its real meaning can be known to you and you alone. It should signify, in ;ciicral, four years full to the brim of worth-while fxperiences, experiences that no one can take from you. It stands for the returns on the investment f the capital and time of your parents and your- self for four long years. If, in looking back over your high school career, ou see places where you could have added more -crvice to your associates, and consequently more liappiness to yourself, do not waste energj ' now in ' ciiiK sorry. Step into things, right where you are Old make up for lost time. No matter whether you •irc enrolled in the School of Experience, or plan •II enrolling immediately in college, do the things hat you think will make your next certificate of •raduation mean all that you would have had your liigh school diploma .symbolize. Then when you get the next one in the years to come, whether in the orm of an advance in position, a B. .A. or any other ig step forward, remember that though others may Have wha! seems identical to your reward, it is not.

YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN + + There is more truth than poetry in the old saying, where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Did you ever try awfully hard to gain a certain thing and then see it slip from your grasp? If you have, you may have been tempted to doubt that good old say- ing. But Edmund Vance Cook says, in his little poem entitled, How Did You Die? , that the harder you ' re thrown the higher you bounce. Come back with about twice the determination you had before, and you will be the winner. The world is made up of people just like yourself. If anyone can do it, YOU can. Use that philosophy next time you want some particular thing, and real gain will be assured, whether you win or lose the first battle the first time you try. GOOD WINNERS He certainly is a gf)od loser— and we all admire him for it. But how many times do you think to say, He is one of the best WINNERS I have ever known? Yet what infinite strength it takes to be one of the latter. Often it is as hard to be the kind of victor everyone likes as it is to be the kind of loser that is universally popular because he is a good sport. We generally notice a poor winner by making such remarks as, Victory has certainly gone to his head, or She surely is ' stuck up ' since she won that honor. Why not give the good winner the credit due him when he is neither condescend- ing, overly sympathetic or visibly proud of himself before those whom he lefcated ? .-Xny one of the alxjve mentioned attitudes is unpleasant enough to behold and easy enough to remedy if one tries hard enough. 1 f you happen to be one of the lucky ones and are victorious at some time in the future, watch yourself and try to make it possible for folks to . ' ■ay, He ' s just as good a winner as he is a loser — ■ You can ' t say that for most people. Page thirty-nine The News Editorial Staff i-.(lii(ir in Chief Ronald Rice Managing Editor George A.

Page forty-one School Days By Ja.nkk Schekmerhorn Jack Cranston, like a good many other high school lx ys, was fairly good-looking, was a good sport, and had a rather exaggerated opinion of himself. To Madeline Morrow, as to many other girls of her age, he was almost the idol of perfection. I say almost because he had several habits, probably due to his egotism, which had at limes rather annoyed her. One morning shortly before the presentation of the January class play, he sauntered into the first period classroom and slumped down into a seat across from Madeline. Goin ' to th ' class play? he demanded. I guess not, said Madeline, almost breathlessly. Well— neither am I, he answered, grinning pro- vokingly. Several girls near Madeline tittered audibly. She flushed, and slid down in her seat. Here, she re- mained until a few moments before the tardy bell rang, when she observed Jack staring blankly at a half finished report in his notebook. Oh, didn ' t you finish copying that article yester- day. ' she asked, apparently forgetting his recent snub. ■ .Vo, said Jack, disgustedly. Could I borrow— Xeither did I. For several days Madeline paid no attention what- ever to Jack. That is, openly. A dozen limes a day she saw him in the halls or classes, always with some other girl. She overheard girls talking about what a keen looker he was or how well he danced, but she never joined in their conversations. The day of the class play Madeline sat disconso- lately staring at her geometry book. Rill Burton, one of Jack ' s chums, came into the room, and after talking to a group of boys near her, turned to Made- line. Going to the class play? he asked. Yes, returned Madeline, half defiantly. Oh— I had two tickets — and I thf)Ught maybe — . Well — I ' m not going with anyone in particular— 1 guess I could — . .■ t the entertainment, Madeline seated herself be- fore she noticed that the occupant of the seat next lo hers was Jack. She half turned away, but Rill broke the silence. Hello there. Jack. AM turning to Madeline, You know Jack, don ' t you? We got seats to- (. ' clher. Oh-ycs, said Madeline stiffly. ( Pac r forty-two She spent a perfectly horrible evening. Bill in- sisted, during every intermission, ou talking to Jack and his companion, Betty Othmcr, an attractive, but rather bold and talkative girl. Madeline felt awk- ward, but did not care to enter the conversation. Before leaving for home, they stood in a group near the doorway. Madeline noticed that Betty was busily engaged in conversation with a boy who !-eemed to be otherwise alone. Betty turned to Jack. You don ' t mind if Ed rides home with us, do you? she inquired. He lives down near my house. Because there was not room for three in the front scat Betty and Ed rode in the back of the car. After ?. detour of about six blocks to see Ed to his desti- nation, they reached Betty ' s home. When Jack opened the car door for her, Bettv said : I had a wonderful evening. Jack. Thanks ever so much. Yes — Ed does seem to be quite interesting, re- turned Jack bitingly, as he banged the car door and started homeward. About a week later. Jack appeared one morning and, approaching rather shame-facedly, asked : Got a date for the prom tomorrow. Mad? N ' o, snapped Madeline, .Xnd I don ' t — . Yes ou haxe, he answered decidedly.

By Howaku Doust P I ' RHAPS it was the fascination of the mysterious; the desire to search out those things usually hidden from the eyes of men. Perhaps it was a natural hatred for the commonplace, monotonous events of ordinary life. Whatever the cause, Mr. Hawkins had felt himself irresistably drawn into a supremely interesting vocation — that of the detec- live. So there he had begun there he had remained. One of the characteristics of time is that it de- parts with amazing rapidity. Thus it had seemed 10 Mr. Hawkins. The days and years slipped into the past as though by the collusion of Father Time and the very sun itself. The detective worked hard and well. Time lirought the necessary qualities: a quick, keen percep- tion, an unusual dramatic ability, an untiring perse- verance. Throughout all his labors, a single thought haunt- ed Mr. Hawkins. Week after week it was stamped before him, leading him on and on. It was the de- sire to solve complex, subtle mysteries. As soon as he discovered a problem, he would not rest until it was solved, and then he would not be content until lie had found another, . nd so his life moved in an ( ndlcss cycle, constantly increasing in complexity and interest. One day the detective was baffled by a seemingly simple case. For several days he worked without result. He became worried and could not sleep at Tiighl. The problem was ever before him. It troubled his thoughts until his head throbbed with ' .nguish. The harder I work, the farther I get— toward nowhere, he mused ironically. The very difficulty of the case seemed to lie in its simplicity. It was nothing more than the dis- :ippcarance, four days earlier, of a maniac — and who hould be easier to find than a maniac? The man was a wiry old fellow, worn by a life of service, who had at last become insane over religion. Phy- sically active, his body was driven by an untiring, though pitifully affected, mind. Thus, the very qual- ities which had formerly helped his fellow-citizens, now endangered them. Who could tell, w-hen Iiossessed by some fiery purpose, whom he might ;atack or injure? The difficulty of Mr. Hawkins ' position was evi- lent. Here was a menace to the public safely which had not been removed. The capture of this insane tnan was his duty — his responsibility — and only hope- less failure had residted. On the evening of the fourth day, oppressed by the problem, and having fallen into a half-conscious, restless mood, he approached insanity himself. Here was the reasoning of his weary mind : The insane man, if still in the city, certainly would have been discovered before this. But he had not left the city, for every exit was guarded, and no clews had been reported from surrounding districts. Therefore he wasn ' t in the city, and he wasn ' t outside it. He wasn ' t anywhere! What sinister tragedy — Hawkins re- gained consciousness with a jolt and a severe head- ache. Slowly he rose to his feet and looked mechan- ically at his watch. It was one o ' clock in the morn- ing. Without knowing why he did so, Mr. Hawkins put on his hat and coat and left the house. He must think — he must work — he must do something. The night was one of those average coincidences most hard to describe. The moon was bright, yet not very ' bright ; there were clouds, yet not very many clouds; the air was crisp, yel not very crisp — and so on. For a time the detective wandered aimlessly, thinking deeply. Then, arriving at no conclusion, he walked faster, away from the business district, with that strange human impulse that always urges us to press on, unconscious of our destinys. .At length he came to the residence section, now quiet, ominously still, it seemed to Mr. Hawkins. . s he walked, some powerful intsinct warned him that all was not well. For a moment he considered, moving along the street in the same manner as be- fore. Then he heard a quick, light footfall far behind, and the truth flashed through his mind— hp was being followed. Instead of running or glancing behind, he acted jiccording to the qualities of a true detective. .Xfter walking unconcernedly down the block, he turned a corner out of sight, quickly ran around to the back of a large house situated thereon, and cautiously looked down the street he had just come up. Only the glimpse of a small figure hurrying past set all of the detective ' s passions afire. Instantly he lucame absorbed in following the man. Having reached the corner, the stranger hesitated, began to move in a most peculiar manner with astounding rapidity. He darted across the street with such swiftness that Hawkins could scarcc ' y follow, . lways he was keenly alert, peerirg about, and evidently listening closely. To the detective the chase was a source of fasci- nating interest. The strarger was evidently search- Pagc forty-three ing for him. Further, there was a sense of delight in baffling the man. .Mso, the man might have some evil purpose in mind. As they went on, down a street, around a house, around two corners, and down another street — the sleuth began to think ser- iously. Here was a man running wildly about in the middle of the night, apparently with no good purpose. He might be the missing maniac ! Certain- ly he possessed many of the characteristics : a small body, a restless disposition, and an abundance of meaningless actions. They passed through an alley, and the detective saw the man silhouetted against an arc light in the ne.xt street. It was then that he observed the stranger ' s arms; long, powerful-looking. Hawkins shuddered. Supposing those talons had been sud- denly thrust around his throat. Clearly, it was a time for action. The maniac must be captured. At the risk of discovery, the detective sped down the alley to the spot where the man had stood. Cautiously, he looked around the corner. There he beheld a strange sight. On the next corner, an arc light sent its rays over a tall church tower, dotted with belfry windows. The man sat on the curb, with his back toward the alley, huddled over something. A hideous laugh echoed through the night — a frightful thing; Hawkins trembled and felt his heart turn cold within him. The ghastly light of the moon on the church tower, the weird laugh, the bent figure of this strange man— could it be possible that this was not some horrible dream ? Suddenly awed by this touch of cowardice, liaw- kins sprang into action. He ran headlong down the street and hurled himself upon the man ' s back. Sur- prised, he uncoiled like a spring, and a savage fight began. The detective fought steadily and effective- ly, but his opponent made quick, furious attacks. At last the stranger lay pinned on the ground, and Hawkins looked down into his face. You win, puffed the man. Let me up. Cautiously the detective allowed him lo rise to his feet. N ' ow that you ' ve succeeded in filling me with dents, may I ask the occasion of such an onslaught ? asked the stranger, good-humoredl,v. Hawkins made no reply, but looked closely at his captive. Then with a curious expression on his face, he glanced about the street. . battered hand- book lay where it had been thrown at the beginning of the struggle. The detective picked it up. The book I was reading, suggested the man. Hawkins turned the pages and came to a place well-marked and soiled by much fingering. Mechan- ically he read : Mental inspirations are aI)SoluleIy vital to the young author. H necessary, he must create them. As an example: Venture forth at a late hour of the night. Follow strangers. Run down alleys and around corners. Suddenly stop and pretend to be awaiting some formidable cnemv. -Always let your mind absorl) all sensations and spirations such as—. Hawkins threw down tl, book. Very true, isn ' t it? asked the would-be auth enthusiastically. I ' ve been out gathering inspii lions tonight. N ' ow take the moon, for instann kaising his arms, the author gazed admiringly : it. Who does not look upon its austere beams .-n feel his soul enraptured with — . s the man talked on, Hawkins turned aside high disgust. In mockery he lifted his arms in pn icndcd rapture -but he looked at the church lower instead of at the moon. ♦ ♦ ♦ ' O.

That ' s iiiit a very original remark but it certainly covers a lot of queer things. Just like the freak tent in a circus. Did I ever tell you how William Turner lost his religion? He surely had a lot of it -r, I ' ll broadcast. When I first knew William he was the world ' s one and only perfect boy. He never smoked, and of- ten considered it his duty and privilege to give short, impromptu lectures on the evils of tobacco to us Mlows. There is no record of his having stopped yone ' s smoking, but he enjoyed himself and lused us, so we let him do it. N o rough language ever escaped from his ruby iips, even in moments of extreme displeasure. Even when he broke a shoe string in gym, only a slight . xpression of vexation disturbed his peaceful coun- unance. Try it yourself, and see how peaceful it makes you feel ! I-Tc had no faults, and all his habits were good, ils Nickname, was not Rill or any such vulgar name. It was Willie. I believe this describes him ' ' Iter than all my futile words could ever do. Willie did chew gum, though. Three sticks a day, I. lie discreet piece quietly chewed after every meal, not for jaw exercise, or its musical qualities, but r his digestion — and he saved the coupons. Willie went to Sunday School, Church, Prayer- eeting, and Choir Practice. He would have gone 11) the Ladie s .Aid meetings, but he was not invited, and besides, he was too polite to gossip. .All of this to explain why Willie was too good to live, also, too Kood to last. In fact, soon after I first met him, he was reformed and became humanly hardboiled. The cause of his downfall, reformation, whichever u may think it to have befen, was just a 192.=i sport model flapper. . t least he was following an estab- lished precedent in this because it was a flapper that lured our revered ancestor Adam, when he got away ilh the hard cider in the Garden and got kicked II. Well anyway it was Betty Jean Forsythe that lowed Willie the downward path and then shoved him to it. netty Jean Forsythe w-as the delight of the scandal ekers. She smoked whenever she felt like it, and wore with deep feeling and considerable skill when- ever she deemed it necessary to do so. She usually (lid this when there was some one near whom she ' ' uild shock. .Also, and worst of all, she was a gum lend. She chewed gum, unceasingly, vigorously and rythmatically with the placid, dreamy, cow-like ex- pression that accompanies the musical orgies of the W rigley hound. She could chew several sticks at once and could still talk too much. She knew all sorts of clever tricks to do with her gum, and never lost an opportunity to display them, always return- ing the gum carefully to her mouth so that she would not get any germs on it. Betty Jean, or Lizzie, as she was sometimes rudely called was originally named Elizabeth Jeanettc but she bobbed her name at the same time that she bobbed her hair. That reminds me, too, maybe I ' d better tell you what she looked like; then you can understand what happened to Willie. She was short and slender, full of pep and (cen- sored) ; had light hair and big blue eyes, just like those you are supposed to get for ten cents in stamps and this coupon. She always dressed a step ahead of the styles and half a step ahead of pneu- monia, and she rolled her own. Her eyes, of course. She was just the type to reform Willie and she surely did it. Maybe you ' d like to know how it happened. One Sunday night Betty Jean came to our church, not through any sudden desire for religion, but because some one had dared her to do it. Also she had rather wanted to see what the inside of a church looked like and what kind of an attraction it was that drew almost as big crowds as the movies did, so, believe it or not, she came to church. Willie was standing outside the door of the church, conversing decorously with Dorothy, the minister ' s daughter, and waiting for church to start, when Betty Jean came. She had come early so that she woidd not miss anything. I forgot to tell you that Willie was a good-looking kid even if he was an angel. He had curly hair and a dimple in his chin, and even a hard-hearted flap- per will fall for curly hair. I guess I ought to know, because on Sunday I borrowed my sisters curling iron and curled my hair and every girl I met smiled at me. One almost laughed out loud. When Betty Jean saw Wilie she immediately spotted him for a victim, and she asked me to in- troduce him to her. 1 did, not knowing what I was starling. She was known as a fast worker and she surely did her stuff that time, because he sat with her in church and took her home afterwards. I still remember how they looked in church that Sunday. He sat upright much interested in the sermon. Betty .slouched down in the seat so that just the top of her curly hair could be seen over Page forty-five ihc hack of the pew, chewed gum and wondered why in — why on earth she had ever come to a place like this. After church when Retty Jean and Willie had left, the gang started talking about Betty Jean and her latest victim. W ' c never expected to sec thcni at church together again but we were cer- taiidy fooled. W hile we were talking Jimmy Olds and . rt Bailey got into an argument. Jim bet Art a dollar that Betty Jean would reform Willie and make a cake-eater out of him, but if Willie reformed Betty Jean and made her come to church every Sun- day, Art was to get one dollar. The rest of us laughed and told them that we would probably never see the pair together again, but they made their bet anv-way and decided that I was to be stake holder and referee, and when the question was decided I was to give both dollars to the winner. Next Sunday they both came to church, but Wed- nesday night Willie came to prayer meeting alone. For three Sundays after that they came to church together but next time they went to a show. So you can see how Willie was slipping. School was out next week and we went to the lake for the summer, so I did not see either Willie or Betty Jean until next fall. What happened during the summer I must tell you as I heard it from the letter I received while we were at the lake. The first letter I received was from Jim and in it he told me that Betty Jean had taught Willie to dance and that they had gone to a couple of dances together so he thought that he should get the two dollars that I was holding for the winner. I didn ' t answer his letter right away and a few days later I received one from Art. He seemed to think that he should receive the two dollars Iiecau.se Betty Jean and Willie had come to church evcr - Sunday since I had left. I wrote to both of them and told them to wait till I returned from the lake and I would see for myself whose two dollars it was to be. We returned from the lake one Sunday afternoon in September and that night I went to church. When I got there Art and Jim were not there so I went in. The first persons I saw were Willie and Betty Jean. Betty Jean surely had won ! Willie had become as snappy a cake-eater as ever borrowed his sister ' s eyebrow pencil. His curly hair was plastered tight to his head with Glo-Co or Crisco, and he was evidently trying to grow what is known as a shick or badger haircut. His clothes were Harold Teen style, blue coat, gray flannel trousers ; tie, socks and handkerchief, a soft fire-engine red in color. His eyes looked tired and once lily white fingers were now stained by cigarettes. Jim certainly had won the two dollars. But wait — was this Betty Jean beside him ? No, she has changed her name to Bessy now. She was sitting quietly, her legs sedately uncrossed and her hands primly folded, listening to the sermon. Her hair, once so barbcrously frilled was being allow to grow out and was confined in a hairnet, and 1 face was miiuis its usual war-paint. To make a sli siory shorter, Bessy was just as good as Willie L been and looked almost as angelic as a minisli daughter is supposed to look.

The question this year, was. Resolved, that the Philippine Islands should he grained immediate independence. North Central ' s orators who upheld the affirmative side of the rjiRStion against Lewis and Clark, were Weldon Sfhimke, Kalhcrine Keisling and Clinton Mc- Crackcn, with Martin Burns acting as alternate. They raine out with the long end of a two to one judges ' decision. The argucrs who upheld the negative at Hillyard were Margaret Coughlin, Kenneth Davis and John l)c. rman l, Uonald I ' harcs being alternat for them.

The ■ iiinr .Ahlquisis argued the question, Resolved, that the W ashington stale legislature at its next spe- cial session, should ratify the Child-labor .- mend- nient. The negative, supported by Dorothy Crane and Ronald Phares, was triumphant over the affir- mative which was championed by Richard Campbell :tnd Margaret Kelly. Dorothy Crane carried off in- ' lividiial honors, when she placed first in the judges ' ratings. Richard Campbell was accorded second place. The prizes, offered by Drs. T. M. and R. E. Ahlquist, were twenty dollars for first, and fifteen for second place. The Senior hl(|uist debaters discussed the ques- tion, Resolved, that the initiative and referendum should be abolished in the State of Washington. Clinton McCracken and Weldon Schimke took the aifirmative. while Kenneth Davis and Katherine Keisling argued for the negative. The negative was victorious, and the two high individuals were Kath- erine Keisling, who won first place, and Kenneth Lee a. Meyek, Debate Coach Davis who carried off second honors. The prizes they won were forty dollars and twenty dollars respectively. The annual S. A. R. oratorical contest was very successful. Those who survived the preliminaries were Kenneth Oavis, Helen Yeomans, Martin Burns and Margaret Still. When the youthful orators met again in convocation, Kenneth Davis triumphed, with a well-written, w-ell-delivered speech on Alexander Hamilton. Helen Yeomans, and Margaret Still, speaking on Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, the Father of the Constiution, respective- ly, lied for second place. The winner received a beautiful silver medal and delivered his oration at the combined luncheon of the Sons of the .American Revolution, Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions club. Page forty-seven H E A M A R A C K North Central ' s Representation International Boys Day Parade Poet forty-eigkl The Girls ' League The Girls ' LcaRue of North Central was organized in March 1918, when it was decided that some kind of organization was necessary to liring the girls to- ■ iiher. The purpose of the League is to teach every girl i the school through cooperative activities, a sense of loyalty to each other, the school and to the com- munity and nation. The League emblem which was chosen in 1918, consists of the head of a young girl and the American Red Cross flags crossed to re- present the League motto: Honor, Service, Loyalty. Miss Gibson, who has been director of the League since it was first organized, has been the leader and the mainstay. She, with the help of all the girls, has already made the organization well-known among similar high school leagues. The Girls ' League is composed of five depart- ments, the entertainment department, the social ser- vice department, the personal efficiency department, the vocational department and the room representa- tives department.

The North Central Band The North Central band has just completed its most successful year in the history of this organiza- tion. Starting out with about fifty members last fall, the band now has an active membership of seventy-four pieces. Lowell C.

The band also sponsored the News campaign in the spring. Among the special appearances of this organiza- tion were in, the Hallowe ' en and Armistice parades, Serpentine and Football parade, numerous athletic convocations, Boys ' Day parade led by Lewis Bost- wick, drum major, Pullman trip, and Open Air Con- cert. The two appearances which deserve the most credit were, the appearance at the American Legion Re- -iew. This was the first time that the North Cen- tral band has ever furnished a headline act. The other special appearance was the annual Band Con- cert. About eight hundred people attended.

Wesley Taylor swung a squad of fifty-five candidates into action. Of this num- ber, six lettermen from the previous year answered the call, making prospects very rosy for a winning season. The team started out in whirlwind fashion by capturing all of the games in the early part of the season with the exception of Davenport, which was later beaten by the Indians on a neutral floor by a lopsided score. Christmas holidays saw the Indians invading Montana where by big scores they overwhelmed the leading teams of that state, among wnich was Butte high, 1925 champions of the state. Th ey also defeated Thompson Falls, Missoula, Great Falls, and Whitefish. After the holidays, practice was featured by hard workouts in preparation for the annual championship series with Lewis and Clark. Dope on the series was about even, as Coach Hunter had developed a fast ran.uy team to battle the N ' orth Central veterans. The first game of the series was played in the North Side g Tn before a crowd of enthusiastic rooters. In a fast exciting game the Indians were vic- torious by a 18 to 16 score after they had battled an extra five minutes to break the tie which was the result of the fourth quarter. With two minutes to go the count was again knotted at 16 all, when Mel Sohns the diminutive Xorth Central forward hit the net from the middle of the floor for the winning score. The second game saw the teams hit it against each other in the I wis and Clark gj-m for another fur- ious battle. In a game featured by the close check- ing of both teams the Indians again ambushed the Tigers and came out with the long end of a 10 to 16 score. Coach Hunter realized that if the Xorth Siders won the next game the series would be over, and so made a big shift in his team. He uncovered a lanky center and shifted Smith and Campbell to the for- ward positions making a fast and exceedingly rang ' agKregation. This combination proved a thorn in the flesh of the Indians for they captured the next game by 21 to 19 score. The fourth game saw the Indian linenp weakened by the graduation of Ted Rohwer, star Xorth Cen- tral guard. This forced Coach Taylor to use acting- Captain Mitchell on the defense while Wentzel Han- sen was relied upon to toss the wringers. In a close- hard fought game the Indians were again nosed out by the Lewis and Clark baskcteers. At this time Xorth Central ' s prospects took a large boost as Lee Hanley a lelterman from 1924 returned from Kansas Page scvcnty-iour to take his old job. Excitement was at a fever piu when the teams met for the fifth and deciding gan: in the N ' orth Central g m. In the first half the Indians gave a rare exhibitic of high school basketball by their spreading, pas- ing, close guarding and excellent team work. Tl half ended with the score North Central II, Lewi and Clark 1. The second half was a sad story foriii .North Central followers for the team came bad full of fight, but had lost some of its speed an accuracy and at the end of the quarter were leadin 16 to 7. The fourth quarter saw the Tigers stage desperate rally and after North Central had lo- the services of Brick Graham, all-city guard, ti( the count at 19 all, with one minute left to play. Tli whistle blew. The referee pointed an accusin finger at a red clad figure and handed the ball i Hank Lowery, bulwark of the orange and blacl defense, for a free shot at the basket. Death lik silence flooded the g)Tn as he cooly advanced to tli line, carefully aimed at the ring, and tossed tb« basket which won the game, series, and city chani pionship for Lewis and Clark. C.M ' TAIX BIRKKTT GIVEN HOXOR AWARI The Indian (juintet was lead through the scasoi by Fred Mitchell who was captain in 1923 and 1924 Mitchell was an inspiration to his teammates and hi- I)la. ing ability was of such high caliber that he wa- placed on the all-star team. . fter the season was over the team elected Lloyl Birkett, the tall Xorth Central center to receive thi captain emblem. Birkett played exceptionally gooil ball this year and was high point man in many oi the games. He scored over 80 points during the season. Birkett played in every game, but due to his aggressiveness and fight he had difficulty in playirK the whole game. Birkett won his letter three year- in basketball, was a letterman in football and alsi was a member of the track team for two year.v The loss of Birkett will be greatly felt when Coadi Taylor calls his basketeers on the floor next fall. Because Birkett was such a great factor in making the season the success it was and because he observed the training rules and was an inspiration to hi- teammates he was given the Delta honor award. Hi is probably one of the highest honors that can bi given to any athlete who participates in North Cen tral athletics. Page sercnty-fiv THE TAMARACK Coach VVoodrow issued a baseball call the last ttcek in Februan ' . About 80 boys anwsered, and of this number the coach had but five lettermen with which to build a team. The first three weeks were spent in the running off of an indoor baseball series. Ten teams were organized and two games were play- ed every night. The good weather permitted out of door practice so the indoor series was sadly neglected and the team turned out on the new Crego play- ground which was in readiness the last of March. Fifty boys reported to the first out of door practice at the Crego field. The first week was spent in elementary baseball drill. The squad was divided into different teams, two in charge of Coach Woodrow and the rest in charge of Assistant Coach Nygaard. Every boy that came out was given a chance to show his stuff and the lettermen were given no preference. The coaches worked hard in order to whip a team into shape that would be able to give a real account of themselves in the annual baseball clash with Lewis and Clark. The first game of the season was played at Elk, Wash, After nine innings of close play the In- dians were nosed out by a 5 to 4 score. Only three of the men that played in the first game were suc- cessful in making the team that represented North Central in the series with Lewis and Clark. The Elk team later journey to Spokane and took a severe drubl)ing from the Indian nine. Other games were played with Whitworth college, Deer Park, Fort Wright, Fairfield and Spokane col- lege. All of these games ended in victories for Xorth Central. The Lewis and Clark Tigers won the third con- secutive baseball series from the North Central Indians by defeating them in the second, third and fourth games. The Orange and Black team this year was undoubtedly the best nine that Coach Elder has ever turned out . They had eight lettermen on the diamond. Peterson and Lee played their posi- tions in big league style. Coach Woodrow had only four lettermen from which to build a team around. Capt. Neil Lamson was the stellar bat performer of the scries. He topped the league with an average of over 500. The first game which was played on the Natator- ium diamond, April 24 ended in a 3 to 2 victory for the Indians. The game was thrilling throughout, Ihe Tigers holding a 2 to 0 lead for six innings. The balloon went up in the sixth, when Lee, the sturdy South Side chucker allowed the Indians to fill the bases. Blod stepped to the plate and after .several fast ones had passed by he clouted a single which brought in Haynes and Hansen. The score was knotted until in the first of the tenth inning when Capt. Lamson poled a three bagger deep into center field. North Central fans went wild when K. C. L(jwery slowly walked to the plate determined to bring in Lamson. He came through in the crisis and drove a hot one over second base which ad- vanced Lam.son to home. The Tigers tried in vain to rally in the last of the tenth, but the Indian de- fense tightened and the game ended in a 3 to 2 victory for North Central. The second game of the annual scries was marked iiy strong hitting and many costly errors. By bunch- ing hits and taking advantage of the brakes of the game the Tigers managed to tally seven runs in the first three innings. This lead the Indians were never able to overcome. It looked at times as though the Indians might rally, but the time never came and the game ended 11 to 5 in favor of the South Siders. The North Central team gathered 14 hits to Lewis and Clark ' s 12. Lamson was againe the sensation cf the game. He tripled twice and also made two nice singles. Hansen, started the game in the box, but was releaved by Clair Pritchard in the fourth inning who stopped the Tigers fierce onslaught. Hanley, starred at first base, making several pretty catches and getting two hits. Lee was the domi- nent figure in the Orange and Black victory, strik- ing out nine men and bringing in three runs. The hitting of both teams was good, but the Indians defense was poor and did not tighten in the pinches. -aking advantage of the brakes and errors, Lewis and Clark ' s baseball team came from behind in the seventh inning to win the third game of the City Championship series, 8 to 6, at the Natatorium park. The Tigers rallied in the first inning, making two runs in the opening frame. The score was knotted once in the fourth at three up. North Central took the lead in the first of the seventh by a one score margin. Things looked bright for the Red and Black until Lee, started the seventh inning rally for the Orange and Black by driving a hot one deep into center field. Davis fanned and Hickey grounded out a single, advancing Lee to third. Nelson knocked a long fly to Graham, who fielded it not far behind third base. Lee started for home, Graham made a perfect throw to Hansen who touched Lee, and the Umpire called him out just as Hansen dropped the ball. The Umpire was then compelled to withdraw his decision and called Lee safe. The score was knotted at six up. Luck broke the tie when his single brought in Hickey. Luck scored on Smiths (Conttniird on page 99) Page seventy-six I the; tamarack J Track Xdkth Ckntkal Track Tkam The Kf.llocg Meet 111 the first meet of the season, the N ' orth Central iiikUt warriors defeated the comliincd teams from allacc, Kellogg and Mullan In the score of 78 to =i at the Kellogg field, April 25, 1925.

Nine men made the trip and every man survived the preliminaries held on Friday May 15. The meet was won by W ' cnalchec with 31 points, due in a large measure to the fleetness of Foster a colored sprinter who smashed the world ' s record in the .50-yard dash with the time of 5 3-10 seconds. Foster also broke the state record in the 1(X) and 220- yard dashes besides being a member of the winning relay team.

Tak- ing first place in every event the Red and Black team administered the most decisive beating to the Lewis and Clark team, that has happened in many years.

The first competition came a month later, when a picked team from Northwestern university came to Spokane. With two former Olympic stars on the Northwestern team, the showing made by the young water dogs from North Central was remarkable. The meet was in the nature of aii exhibition, no score being kept, but all events were hotly contested, and much valuable experience was obtained by North Central men. Thk Lf.wis . nd Clark Mket In the first water competition between the two schools in two years, the North Central boys ' swim- ming team defeated the Orange and Black web- foolers by the decisive score of 48 to 20, in the South Side tank, April 2, 1925. First place was captured by North Central in every event but the plunge, when a Lewis and Clark man succeeded in coasting the 60 foot distance, in seven seconds less time than Bob Sandell of the Indians. Nerval Rader was high point winner of the meet with ten tallies to his credit. Rader smashed the city record in the 100-yard breast stroke by one and four-fifths seconds, swimming the distance in 1 :18 4-5. He also won the fancy diving, thereby ainiexing another five points. Earl Litsey and Kcmble Broom, both of North Central tied for second place, each chalking up nine and one-fourth points after his name. Litsey took the .SO-yard free style, and second in the 100-yard free style, while Broom won the 100 and placed sec- ond in the . 0. Don Engdahl, after three years of faithful training with the scrubs, at last succeeded in winning the 100-yard back stroke. The 220 was won by Charles Godefroy in one of the flashiest races of the day. Godefroy swam the distance ten seconds faster than he ever had in practice.

Coach Woodrow was forced to send Leo Hansen to the box and put Lowery in right field.
