The onl noteworth features of the Constitution that A ,. Y Y ushered this club into the family of North High organizations were: First, the clause that restricted membership to boys in good and regular standing in the High School, second, the one that provided that the losing side each semester should banquet the victors. Over the first there was much brilliant and spirited discussio-n, but it was finally passed, some claim as a tribiute to the distracting winsomeness of North High girls that makes it impossible to attend weightier matters while they are around,- or to the softness -of some of the masculine heads and hearts, or to the lack of car fare and aversion to long walks after club meetings. ' A The charter members were Clinton Hoff, Claude Pickrell, Wilmot Royal, Roy Gregg, Thomas Hosmer, Charles Stout, George Young, Mac Cheetham, Roy Webb, Lawrence Walla.ce, Edgar De Silva, Richard Con- nolly, Ralph Stevens and Rodney Fagen. The club met o-n alternate Tuesday nights and did 'most excellent work throughout the winter. ln March they challenged the girls of the school to joint debate. The team selected by the boys consisted of Charles Stout, Wilmot Royal and Earl Stewart. The girls selected Lulu Rollin- spn, Una Curtis. and Anna Rehman to represent them. The question was, Resolved, that Japan was justified in waging war against Russia. It was ates ever given in connection with the sch-ool.

Such may be the case with the football record of IQO3. At this close range it still has the raw, bald look of vacancy. But while this may be true of the rec- ord, it is by no means true of the season as a whole. October 3d was the first scheduled game with Boone. Hopes were high and much enthusiasm was manifested en route. if if if The casualties were one full back's head smashed and a score of o-o. ff . l Qctober Ioth, a game with Mitchellville, a scrub team but will serve for practice, was the talk in the morning. A jolly crowd of girls went down on the interurban with the rooters. Pos- sibly it was they who help to waken the hoodoo. Score, o-6. , Qctober 16th, the West High game brought out COACH ers. The team was in excellent condition. The . first twenty minutes no score was made, but su- perior weight and experience told. The hoodoo perched on the goal post and the score was O-33. Qctober 24th, the team went to Indianola. Manager Goodell and the Rock Island train ran on different schedules, much to the discomfiture of the conducto-r and the distress of the girls. Score O-16.

November 20th, in the game with Capital Park, Captain Maine car- ried the ball over the' line only to lose it as he touched the gro-und. The hoodoo screamed, a prolonged dismal groan arose from the bileachers. Score O-23. - P T The Thanksgiving game with Red Qak closed the season. Miss Moul- ton went with the team as assistant manager. She managed to do most CVCfYfh1Hg but get the ball over the line. Pretty girls, a big dinner, an ggflgate YCCCDUOH, 21 fine trip helped the hurt that honor felt. Score, ,This bTiCHY is a review of the season in facts and figures.

Review of the Season LONG with the regular' work at the gymnasium this year the boys started a basket ball team. lt was thought that the team would be able to compete with the different teams in the Y. M. C. A., but after a little practice it was found that if-could hold its own with any in the city. The team was not organized until late in January and on this account 'was so-mewhat handicapped. The only time found for practice was before and after classes, but although the time was short, it was devoted wholly to basket biall and not to gymnastics. The team made a good showing and proved a great credit to the High School. Not only this, but it served as an excellent preparation for track work. ' The first game of the season was played against West High. A1+ though the work of the team was characterized by individual playing, the game was fast and clean throughout and ended in a victory for the Pink and Green. I T The next game on the schedule was with the Capital City Commer- cial College. North High lost this game on account of a lack of team work and inability to throw baskets when chances were presented. The game served to arouse much enthusiasm over the team and its work, and the remaining games were much better attended than the first two. The game with Danish College was the closest on the schedule, with a 'score of IQ to 20 in favor of the college men. Between the regular games many practice games were played with Y. M. C. -A. teams and high school teams 'of the city. ' So while basket ball has been somewhat incidental -to the regular athletic Work, it has proved a department of fun and profit. 64 .. ,-. , , 1. , . 5 'YW- V11 1 41 1 -1' 11,, 11:2 - 1k111' 11111 1'1 1' .1113 1511 ,, ' KX, 'V 31.1 111 W '1 11 11' 111'-'11 3 1 111 . , 1 ,1l.1 111 1 1. 1111.

M. C. A. gym- ' , F eral ears it has been used by the boys for in- mnga W nasium or sev Y door work. As soon as football was over, classes were organized and regular in- door work commenced. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday after- noons, the men attended classes, and the track. team this year plainly showed the benefit of the work done while attending. A The first outdoor event of any importance was the City Meet, April 30th, in which VVest High, East High, North High and Capital Park con- tested for the trophy cup offered to the winning team by Hopkins, Bros. The meet was held at the Fair Grounds. The natural rivalry between the schools made it the most exciting event of the season. ' North High made a fine showing considering the fact that several men were laid up on account of injuries and some were out because they were black in their work. Barring all these misfortunes, North High got 22 points and up to the last two events held second place. North High point winners were Pickrell, first place in the high jump, Royal, first in the shot put, third in the discus, Kean, second in the hun- dred yard dash, third in the four-forty, Maine, second in the pole vault, Riley, second in the one-half mile bike, McCord, third in the two-twenty hurdles. 'T On account of rain the home meet was not held until Friday afternoon, May 6th. As it was so near the state meet, each man was allowed to enter but four events. This made some of the events lack competition, but on the whole the 'meet was the most successful ever held. Several new records were made. Pickrell made a home meet record of 5 ft. 65 in. in the high jump, Royal 41 ft. 45 in. in the -shot put and Alldredge 20 ft. 7 in. in the broad jump. Records were also equaled in the low hurdles and hammer. The class of '04 won the meet. This was the fourth victory of this class, they having won the home meet four times in succession. ' North High showed her strength in athletics in the state by the place won at the state high school meet, which was held at Iowa City, May 20th. She tied for sixth place with Ida-Grove, who won the Northern Iowa High School Meet. 'The Des Moines schools won a place in every event. The records made there and the football scores of last fall prove that Des Moines easily takes the lead in athletics in the state. Royal won first place in the shot by a put of 40 ft. 9 in. Although all other schools competed, the next best put wasihardly A39 ft. McCord won second in the high hurdles. ln this event Shephard of East High made a new-recordcof 16 I-5 seconds. Pickrell won third in the high JEUUP at 21 height which won second, but he made this in 'jumping off third D ace.bA large crowd attended the meet and a very enjoyable time was 55213511 Bgnni of the features of the meet was the performance of the -U- Q..

Although the schedule was not heavy and the team did not appear once on out-of-town grounds, every Saturday was filled with either base ball games or field meets. E of several members of the ball team doing track work, it was impossible to play ball on the days used for the several meets and in this Way many dates were lost. , ' When Manager Goodell started his schedule early in the season it was found that very few high schools in the state were playing base ball, and on this account it was very difficult to get games on which the manage- ment would be able to clear expenses. After many obstacles of this nature were overcome one or two games were finally scheduled, but afterwards these were cancelled for various reasons of the managers. Practice games with Still College, Drake Medios and Qak Park were resorted to for the purpose of getting the necessary tea.m Work before the regularly scheduled games. Considering the lack of old players and the spurts of hard luck at the first of the season, a very creditable team has been turned out. For a majority of the players, this year is the first in hi-gh school ball, and conse- quently many lack the experience which is so necessary in the game. Hard practice was begun early and has continued every day during the season. The first game played with West High, resulting in a score of I4 to 6, was a great surprise to all the high school fans, and awakened a greater interest in the game among the students. The second game with the same team was exactly the reverse, and resulted disastrously for North Highwith a score of 22 to 8. Base ball in our high school has never proved a successful enterprise, financially, until the last two years, but with this improved condition of finances the game is sure to have a strong hold on the students of North High in the future. With a successful close of the season, the students will feel more than satisfied with the Work of the team and the management of base ball in our high school. 72 XM' 'B In - LT' S. : x ff , 'I ' WWII I E N-I .

II DE THE ORACLE s MOINES, IOWA, MAY, 1907 No. 7 Editorial iii- 1 T is with great pleasure that we present to the students and R patrons of North High School, the second Annual in the his- tory of the institution-the Oracle for 1904. Although the Oracle has been issued but two years, yet the publication of the Annual has come to be looked forward to as the culminating event of the school year. A , We trust that to our readers this IQO4 production will prove in no way a disappointment' but that it may prove at credit to the students, fac- ulty and friends of the school. It represents much hard, earnest work on the part of the Staff, but more than this it reflects the literary and artistic ability of North High. Most of the poems, all the stories and sketches have been taken from the regular work of the English department, and every stroke of artistic work has been done by our own artists. The book has been put out at no- little expense, which has been willingly and cheer- fully borne by the student body. The Annual ,Board has realized the high standard of excellency they have had to maintain and have exerted every effort to make the work as complete and perfect as possible, that it mightbe a 'souvenir of North High worthy to be preserved. As to the roasts, if in some instances the heat has been turned on a little too strong, it was due entirely to the fact that the work had to be rushed, and not through the wullful desire on the part of the Staff to scorch anyone. However, Should any OHS demand satisfaction they are at liberty to select their weapons and call at the Oracle office any time after June io. 84 , i I v I flTlWl fa If In ,, th 1 4 -i 'a l as .Qi if' I '41 9 fir, ?L M 1 i va J ' tl A Tribute If , EQ N etiiteffprises Succeed ijeciuige they aff? the re:ult of the com- , ine e orts .of many individuals. This is particularly true In of North Hlgll School. Whatever success the school has ', A ,155 L A achieved has been due to the combined efforts of the faculty, 7 the students, and the people of North Des M0.inCS. The Various enter- Q prises that .have been successfully carried out have been a surprise to the T most sanguine. The community in which a school is located and the char- il acter of the student b-ody have everything to do with a school's success. if . The people of North Des Moines have been generous beyond measure Q f in giving financial support to athletics, musical organizations, and The i -lil Oraclef, They have 'helped in bringing , about good discipline in the i I school, and have shown that interest in our school that is born of true pur- pose and sympathy. The people have been loyal to the school. They have j :J believed in it and have inspired' their children with faith in-it. When We have made mistakes they have helped to rectify them and have not com- plained because We Were not perfect. They have appreciated the good that We have done and have kindly and generously magnified it beyond its pro- Q portions. We have never asked for help from them that we did not re- , ceive more than We could have expected. We do not know the bounds of their generosity and sympathy for they have more than met all that We ' li, have asked. From time to time We have increased our demands. They lill have been as generously responded to as were o-ur first demands. So what ,1 North Des Moines would do in the future for her high school cannot be measured by what she has done in the past. Tzhere is every reason to Gilj believe that she Would meet the needs of any useful enterprise that her T li, school might see fit to take up, only the future could tell what she in would do. y y e QQ It is but just that these Words of tribute should be spoken of a com- munity that has performed its part so Well. lt has been a pleasure to per- ghd form the duties of a high school principal for such a pC0PlC, and We Shall 1, have lasting remembrances of the good deeds done for us and kind things said of us While performing these duties. , In a large measure all that has been said of the people of North Des Moines applies to the student body and faculty of North High- Th?

Hole of a place, he said to himself, as his eyes wandered over the dark weather-beaten buildings opposite. Sitting down on the sill he dreamily watched Ben read his letter and filled the little room with clouds of smoke from hismeerschaum. Two years before he had come straight from medical school, at the adv-ice of an old physician, who had promised him a partnership and plenty of hunting. But upon his arrival he found that Campton was the average little mining town filled with the ro-ughest class of miners, who worked all week and caroused on Sunday. The novelty was bseginning to wear off and he longed to get out of the place. He had kept to himself and had made but few friends among the men of the town, no-r did he care for them, until a young college fellow, a D. D. S., opened up an office next to his. He seemed to bring a little civilization with him and they had thrown their lots to-gether, waiting for something to turn up. Ben Hartman, or the 'fLad as the doctor called him, was willing enough to take up the arrangement, for he liked big John McGregor with his strong face and quiet way, and had gotten to know mo-re of him in a mo-nth than anyone else in a year. Lately he had noticed the doctor's growing restlessness, but all he could get out of him was, that a fellow might as well be buried as live in such a devilish ho-le.', Ben was engaged to be married and had something to look forward to. His letters from home had always made the doctor lonely, and the war news from the east had made him more disgusted than ever with the slow life in Campton. He thought it over, and finally concluded that he might just as well go as not, since there was nothing to keep him home. He did hate to leave the Lad alone but he had half a mind to do it any- Way. lt was a chance in a lifetime and he was go-ing to take if UP- Hefe'5 some news for you, John. The Lad brought him back to his senses. W 87 Somebody sent the girl some more spoons, cushions or Shakespeare ? Jghn spoke from experience. Ben silently folded up his letter. Guessed wrong for once. fflmpossible, what is it ? John asked. . B Ben lit 3 cigar and leaned back in his chair. You knowf, he began, letting the blue smoke curl slowly from his lips, I told the girl all about you--what a Hne fellow you were, all about our hunts, and how you wasted your wisdom on the natives out here. A The doctor looked bored. lt wasn't exactly to his liking to be written up for other people to read, especially when he was disgusted with his own life. G - Alice had told Louise- Who's she, interrupted the doctor. I Ben went on regardless of the interruption. Louise wants to know if you are eligible, and if you are, to 'tag' you for her. ' The doctor stood up. Here was something new at least. Are you, Ben asked. - ' lt all depends. Who's Louise ? HA friend of Alice's., Wait, I'll show you her picture. Got one in my trunk somewhere. Ben rummaged around and finally produced a picture which he sh-oved over to the doctor. It was that -of a girl probably twenty-two years old, slight and dark, judging from the photo, with an abundance of black hair 3 not beautiful features by any means, but attractive. A f'You have to know her to' appreciate her, f Ben suggested, as he saw the doctor gaze attentively at the face. K'I'll bet she could ruHle that placid disposition of yours all right, until yo-u wouldn't know yourself. The doctor put the picture into his pocket. I think I'11 keep it, he added as Ben went on. I V - Not a bad sort at all, but one it takes a steady hand to drive. Why, half the fellows she knows would give their fortunes to hear her say what she told Alice about you. The fellow that gets her will have one of the truest, staunchest, little comrades that ever lived. She does what only about one girl in fifty could do-travels for some publishing house. 'KBelieve l'll join the ranksf, The doctor was interested. . HlVIaybe she won't have you, but if she should, don't think for a moment you wouldnit take her.

DeafeA1iCC: I fully expected to get back and see you this summer, but as long as I'm one -of those working girls, my time is not my own. The man- ager told me the other day that they must have some articles on Japan and Japanese customs, and that if I cared to go, he would send me there during my vacation and I could send the articlesback in time for the summer publications. It'll be worth a mint to me, both in experience and money. I know a good many of the newspaper ,correspondents over there, but they will all be -out at the front, while my work will keep me mostly among the people. I thought at first I wouldnlt take up the offer, because it will be an awful hard trip for a girl to take, but the manager has arranged every- thing so I can sail the fifteenth, and allI have to do is to follow direCt10I1S- I h' k I'11 O say, I got that funny little card from Ben's doctor. t IU look him up when I come back. Louise' P. S.-I'm getting some swell new suits made for the tr1P- III. The middle of May found Louise established in rliokio busily 10-afnigg the ways and language of the laps. She was getting along Capita' Y ' 89 and had already sent in two long articles full of interesting features of life in the Qrient. After a few weeks of this kind of work she became more accustomed to the ways of the little yellow-skinned laps, and also gained quite a knowledge of the progress of the war. She grew interested and now began to long for the scenes of action. What a story she could make out of it! Customs and habits were becoming tiresome and she wished for a change. While spending a few spare moments one day she had strolled into the government hospital, and there met Dr. Watson, whom she learned was an old college chum of her father's. He often mentioned the fact that he was organizing a Red Cross society to send to the front, but it never occurred to her that she could join him until now. She immedi- ately went to the doctor and told him of her intentions, but he would not hear of such a thing. lt was altogether too dangerous a situation for her to be in, he had told her. Nevertheless she persisted and finally won his consent. p As soon as they arrived at the front she began to realize the serious- ness of war and the great need of such organizations as the Red Cross. Hundreds of wounded and mutilated soldiers were brought in daily. Une night there was brought into the hospital a wounded soldier whose build and features plainly showed that he was not a Jap but an American. He was the first one that ,had come into the hospital since she had been there and through a feeling of sympathy,'she took a greater in- terest in him than in the others. One evening when she had brought him a glass of water and was about to leave to attend to her other duties he asked for his pipe, which, he said, she would find in his pocket. ln rum- maging through his coat she came across a little book, which she curiously opened in hopes of finding out the name of her American friend. ln doing so a small picture fell to the floor. She stooped to pick it up and on the back read the name, John McGregor, M. D. She turned it over, and was startled at the sight of an old picture of herself. John McGregor, she said softly to herself. John lVl'cGregor. Silently she returned to the baedside with the pipe and picture and placed them in his outstretched hand.

When the time shall come when they are as great as they are good, the following will be interesting reading. I came tumbling down out of the everywhere into the Hheren on the delightful autumnal morning of October 27, A 1886. My arrival was her- alded with the greatest of pomp and splendor, and as I tumbled in, the band was playing Please Go 'Way and Let Me Sleep. This was a tune that my father soon commenced to whistle as he had me thrown over his shoulder, and was taking a walk in the garden, at twelve o'clock on a hot summers night. ' In shape I somewhat resembled the spherical proportions of a butter ball. And I was told that I was worth my weight in gold. Now, whether they lied or told the truth I don'lt know, but it is certainly very gratifying to know that you were worth something-once, when you have been broke ever since. ,I have many times wished that in after years Icould go back and borrow something from myself. I . After I had been actively engaged for some time upon the nursery stage, my health commenced to fail. All the great scientists known to the scientific world were consulted regarding my' welfare, but the assistance was seemingly of no avail. All the patent, self-sustaining, unpre-digested, never cooked bireakfast foods on the market weretried on me, but they did not seem to ,better my physical condition. Finally an old cow, recognizing her own, came to my rescue, and I immediately commenced to grow. Now this growth was so rapid and so-iuplifting, that by the time I was I6 years of age I had risen to the astonishing height of 5 ft. I2 in. A very fortu- nate thing, for since my head was so elevated, I have been able to enter-i tain o-nly the loftiest ideas. ' ' As I progressed in :the strenuous life of a high school student, the duties which it was necessary for me to undertake became more numerous and so accordingly I 'was kept hustling.

But Daniels growled: - i Cut it Jim, it takes too long that way. What are the Freshies up to U , now P . 6'Well,', continued Jim, biriskly, and in a lower tone, 'fthe Freshies have conceived the brilliant idea of painting a gor-geous 1907 on the wall of the rostrum near the middle and close to the ceiling. Aw, get out! They wouldn't any more darei'-we began excitedly, but Jim stopped us with a fierce Keep still! Do you want to be heard? No joke, I heard the plot myself. Now, what I want t-o know is, will there be a 1907 on that wall Friday morning, or will there be an 'O6? 'O6! we respo-nded enthusiastically. ' ' Daniels demurred. HIt's mighty risky, Jim. What if the Prof should find it out? He'd just naturally kill the fellow that did it. Jim drew his mouth into a sour, despondent droop and raked his 77 thick, black hair do-wn over his eyes. i - ' Brethren, me heart is full of wretchedness and despair. Life is a at I once held series of disappointments and sorrows. I have lo-st all th dear. f How about Amy ? I suggested. ' A 'cShut up, snapped Jim, this is my funeral.

How'll we get into the building ? chimed in Daniels. Jim looked thoughtful for a moment then answered: ' I'll manage to get locked in. Then you fellows come to one of the south basement windows, and I'll see that you get in all right. If y0u're afraid, Daniels, you'd better not come. But I donit 'believe the Freshies will be very dangerous. I If Daniels felt the sneer he gave no sign. D The night was full of ominous sights and sounds as our little band of ten stole through the dark shadows toward the high school building. Every black spot contained a spyg every snap of a twig was under the foot of an unseen enemy. I dare say more than one of us wished he were well out of it. Well did we know the penalty for such a mad prank, but jim had said Come!,' and we had come. - We found Jim at a basement window, which he raised cautiously, as there was danger of arousing the janitor, who slept in the biuilding. We handed our shoes to him, and then crawled through carefully. Though we slipped up stairs as softly as possible, the boards creaked appallingly, and it seemed an age before we reached the assembly room on the second Hoor. . Four of the fellows sneaked off after the ladder which was standing in the hall, while Jim exhibited t-wo small cans of paint, one of red, the other black. We had a little trouble getting the ladder into place, but after that, things commenced to run smoothly. Now fellowsf, he whispered softly, we haven't any time 'to waste. Raise all the curtains -in the back and south. Two -of you stand at each of the doors and the rest at the windows. Here, Bi1l,', he added to me, you stay so if they come before I am through you catch men when I fall. Obeying orders, I squatted on the first rung while the others stole to their posts, and Jim climbed to the top of the ladder. He worked swiftly with bold sweeps and had started the six when a fellow from each of the doors slunk towards me and reported excitedly that the enemy had come. Are they here, whispered James tragically.- A squad at each doorf' we explained. James finished his work with deliberation. Hope there'll be a crowdf' he muttered softly. I The six finished he commenced to creep noiselessly down the ladder, his love of adventure expelling all thought of danger. A few rungs from' the bottom he paused and we listened attentively. My heart stood still. I saw the strong face above me turn pale.

I didn't feel delighted u 'it Woflii probably mean expulsion for jim and a week or two suspension fdr the rest of us. fWhat'll we do, Jim ?,' I asked anxiously. The fellows had all gathered around and jim looked S got you fellows into a pretty scrape, there's only once chance left. Get those curtains down and get behind thenorth door. There is just one way out of it. You'll have to trust to luck. We'll lead those fello chase, and what I want you to do is to streak it down those back stairs the minute they get inside. No matter what I say, you git! Promise ? f'Yes, came hesitatingly from the others, but I immediately deter- mined to stay and see jim through. ober. HI,Vg ws a pretty There were sounds of preparations for an attack from the south en- trance. ,jim pulled on his shoes without lacing them. As the door knob softly turned he called in a stage whisper, The Freshies, fellows! Rush 'em! He thumped across the floor with enough noise for twenty boys, and I slipped after him. The north door was flung open, and the members of the faculty then rushed to the aid of their confederates at the south. We heard a swiftnrush of stocking feet and knew that our chums were escaping. The faculty didnit seem to notice it, but stamped after us, making a fright-- ful noise. Easy! chuckled jim, then stopped so short that I almost ran into him. Caught between two fires, fellows! he shouted for effect and clat- tered around the room wildly while the faculty and their helpers--for there must have been thirty there-a hundred, judging from the echoes they awoke in the deserted 'building-swarmd after him, and I had a lively time dodging black shapes for the next five minutes. Neither of us. could get to the door, but they didn't seem to think of raising the curtains, or turning on the lights. I was just contrasting their slowness with .Ilms nimfble wits, when the old Prof suddenly mumbled: H ffWe'll have a light on this subject, gentlemen! GUHTC! the doors! and a black shape jumped towards me and groped along the wall. UNO you donytf, panted Jim grimly, leaping past me an . . , , b. pr1nc1pal's wrist.

At the first gleam, Jim collapsed in a heap on the Hoor and I held my sides to keep from rous- ing the neighborhood. Clinging to one slender white wrist, there stood charming Amy Lewis, her form muffled in a long black -cloak and with shoes that must have been eights in men's size. All around thenroom whisked similar figures, all with monstrous menys shoes. No wonder Jim fainted! But the other girls were crowding around anxiously. Did he really hurt you, Amy ?,' they inquired. Well, I should say he did, pouted Amy. Jim sprang up saying authoritatively, 'cLet me see. I-Ie examined her wrist carefully. . No it's not broken, but I guess that,s the hardest I ever squeezed your hand, Amy. She blushed and drew it away while Jim continued, 'KI have a notion not even to ask your pardon, Professor. I Amy looked up quickly and then went off into a peal of laughter in which every one but Jim joined. He turned to me, without surpise at my presence and said solemnly, , Do you love me ? Yes, I managed to gasp. Then swear for meg swear hard. A Amy clapped her hands in spite of her wrenched wrist. 'This is the best joke I've ever put up on you, Jim, I think we're quits now. Not much, panted Jim, then added, 'CI-Iow did you get in here, and where's the janitor ? - . The same way you did, may it please your majesty, and the dear old man is locked in his room. ' The key P demanded Jim. She held one up. V It just fits, she gloated. We laughed admiringly. - I 1 Well, let's get out of here, Jim suggested. I'im bound to suffer for this, and I'11 have to spend the night devising some plan for getting off easy. ' . - ' Jim managed to unlock the jani'tor's door without attracting the atten- tion of that worthy, who had philosophically given up the attempt to get out. We then sneaked off quietly. I A I worried all night about the punishment that was sure to befall Jim, for every one would know who had planned the outrage. But he was too valuable a man in athletics and literary fields to be lightly dismissed and after a long and tiresome lecture, the Professor said that the guilty ones could expose themselves and bear their just punishment, or the whole class should suffer, or as this was the first offense of the kind that had ever been ' 96 committed, if we would see that every sign of the disfigurem t 1.

EDNA DODD, O5 97 Trouble in the Lab The man in the moon Peeked down in the c'lab, And called to the skeleton grim- To open his box And limber his joints And come out and gossip with him. He had heard a tale, A wild wierd tale, That was whispered to him by the wind The glass eye in the case Gpened wide with affright, And the spirogyra grinned. And then in a whisper The tale he told, Interrupted by moan and sigh, How eight bold men Were whetting their knives To cut in two-North High. The skeleton's knees Gave a sounding whack, And he dropped his lower jaw, The old stuffed mink Gave a dusty moan, And hid his head in his paw. And ghostly spits, And sepulchral yawls Came borne on the midnight air, From the spirits feline, Who in years gone by Had died for science there. And the messenger moon Slid slowly on In his pathless course through the skyg But his bright round face Grew pale and sad, As he thought of old North High. A Grafter in AnimalLand Marjorie MacVicar. N the heart of a vast, dark forest lived a lone and solitary hey- y mit kitten, beautiful to look upon, with smooth, so-ft fur of a maltme COIOT, paws under whose velvet cushions dread- ful claws were concealed, eyes sharp and bright, and uick mee any mouse- or chipmunk that unfortunately strayed near, andqsuch a tail! So long, so graceful and silky, when all was right, but howquickly transformed into a large, bristly, dreadful loo-kin-g thing, at a sudden attack. , All mice for miles around knew of the monster and fought shy of that part of the forest. The chipmunks, who had their homes near by, paid their visits and sought their food by stealth. Q T ' Now, one day the mice and chipmunks and birds held a council, and decided that they had better go together and secure a hearing with puss, and either bring her to reason or' an untime-ly end. Puss hearing of the intended visit from a saucyf robin, who was the forest gossip, fortified her- self With numerous doses o-f catnip, and was ready for the fray. She saw them coming and' in spite of her fierce look her heart was beat- ing fast, and although her tail assumed mammoth proportions, she herself felt very small and weak. The enemy advanced. Puss growled and tried to look savage. She tried to think of' some way to scatter the foe. Sud- denly she had a fit, a most dreadful fit, and the scatteration was complete. The air was filled with birds and there was a scampering through the tall grass of mice 'and chipmunks, . What a dreadful sight they had witnessed. Puss crawled back to her home sad and sorry, save for a wicked twinkle in her off eye, and as S116 prepared for a long nap she said to herself, I fit well.

Une day while he was at the ship-docksnby the sea, he caught sight of the Hag of his fatherland. In an instant a Hood of boyhood memories burst upon him, his soul yearned for the old scenes and he sat down and wept. So we in after years, when we see the ,pink and green, may call to mind the happiest times of our lives and long for one moment of those boy- hood days again. As the day approaches when we and old North High must part forever, we are coming more and more to truly appreciate the beauty that lies hidden in the pink and the green. As we gaze at our beautiful colors in dreamy thought, we seem to see a throng of rooters on the track, or gridiron, whether in victory or defeat, always loyal, always enthusiastic and patriotic, with true school spirit that so characterizes North High. H . Or perhaps the scene changes and we find ourselves enjoying one of the old-fashioned assemblies following a field meet, football or base ball game, where speeches are made, enthusiasm prevails 'and we listen to the band or orchestra-a privilege enjoyed by few others. k Thus in the future, the pink and the green will come to mean much to us. It will mean that though we have left the school, the splendid spirit that prevailed in our lives there, has had its effect upon us. So in the four short years that we and North High are together, let us maintain that spirit, and cherish the hope that long may wave the Pink and the ,green- EARL STEWART, 05- 101 rl' Q?

I seed 'em run races and jump and throw rocks and big saucers what looked a deal like some o' my old blue chinas, only it seemed a little bigger. Then they had a rock tied onter the end of a rope and they slung that, then I seed 'em jump overa stick and pull 'emselves up with a pole, and go over a -sorter fishin' rod, Without tuchin' it. But the last race was hardest on me. I couldn't git head nor tail on't. I don't think no one else did, they all jest yelled like maniacs, and almost biroke my ear drums, afore I could git out.

And great trou-bile came to the youth of school land, for he loved his native tongue more than he loved the youths and his wrath waxed hot at their playful pranks. And he did slash with many marks of blue and red their ,exercises in the French and German, and oft didyplace upon their cards C's and C-'s till all these youths grew sick and pale with awful fear of final Hunks, and all the days they sit and dig and dig for the little man from over the seas, and all their smiles are fled.

N the long stretch of road that runs south from the army X post there might have been seen, one early spring morning, a tall, slender, young and stepping rapidly in long buoyant U!! XV ' WL? if strides. He wore his hat on the back of his head and was whistling, The San Domingo Maid, as he measured with a huntsman's eye the Hight of every bird and wild thing that crossed his path. The little tin dinner pail and the arithmetic he held in his hand were the only suggestions that his destination was the little white school house that stood by the road half a mile ahead of him. It was a new experience, this playing the role of pedagogue. It would be a lark! Just a snap to getout of Vergil and French for a week and have nothing to do but order about twenty-five little kids. Then, too, what an experience for these benighted little farmer youngsters to have a Senior really teach them something. And the buoyant stride became strangely like a strut. exe at we It was the same dusty road of the following Friday afternoon. The meadow larks sang -on the fence post, a quail called from a near-by Held, but they might have been English sparrows on a trolley wire for all the attention they got from the pale, hollow-eyed, slender fellow who trudged languidly alo-ng that highway. Twenty-five recitations from twenty-five different text-books in five hours by twenty-five youngsters who insisted on telli-ng him twenty-five times a minute that that wasn't the way teacher did it, had 'been his undoing.

The moon shown for a minute through a rift of scurrying clouds and a crowd of impish, small boys, who were making away with the sign from the corner grocery store, scampered into the shadow. A tall woman 1n white with a lantern in her hand, accom- panied by a black robed skeleton, moved out of the dark- ness into the glare of light from the porch lamp at 1234. Sixth Avenue, hesitated a moment, and approached an open window before which were two crossed broomsticks. A light jump and they disappeared inside. lVIore came, materializing apparently from the clouds and darkness that enveloped the world this Hallowelen. If the neigh-- bors saw this assembling of witches and gnomes and imps, they.only sighed resignedly and braced themselves for whatever might happen. Some of them had lived there since eighteen years ago this very night, and they still lived! They might have been spared any anxiety if they had known it was only the class of 1904 come to celebrate the birthday of Wilmot Royal. And they did celebrate. The house was decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins and bitter-sweet, and only dimly lighted with jack-o-lanterns and the blaze from the grate fire. As witches and ghosts each did his little stunt till by word or gesture he had revealed the Senior under his disguise. Appropriate refreshments were served. Then seated on the Hoor about the fire, they sang songs and told ghost stories till the candles in the lanterns flickered and went out, and the life-sized skull on the mantle grinned in delight at the wierdsomeness of it all. F1nally.one.t'ale more thrilling than the rest ended in a hair-raising shriek, too horrible for even Se1'1iOT HCFVCSS S0 the lights , ,fi . I Were turned on and the Hallowe'eH DUTY, the first cp 'Q event of the year was a thing of the P359 117 L x.. A MONG the many class parties of the past two weeks, was that j A Q 4 of Thos. Hosmer, given in honor of the Seniors at his home F NV on North Seventh Street Tuesday evening, June 7th The guests included the faculty, as well as members of the class and friends of the host. ' . The occasion was in the nature of a lawn party, the yard being beau- tifully illuminated with Japanese and Chinese lanterns. The house was decorated in the class and school colors, both of which were used as the color scheme in the refreshments. Music and games furnished the evening's entertainment, after which the guests departed at a late hour. 'iff The football season had ended, the last Hgoose eggl' had been recorded, but football enthusiasm and school spirit had been too fervid to die out the the whistle blew for time at the close of the R-ed Cak game, and many shared the pleasures of the festivities that came in the after glow that lasted till the holidays. The first of these celebrations was held at Robert Rattray's. Always an enthusias,tic.rooter and supporter of football, 'Ro-b took pleasure in entertaining the team and the girls who had done most to make the season a success. The house was decorated in pink and green and different games were played, progressively. There was a -table for each game in the schedule, each table being decorated in the colors of the school for which it stood, and the value of the progression here was the same as the score made in that particular game. While this served as a reminder to the boys of the victories they had not won, it added much to the fun and interest of the occasion. ln the toasts that followed the supper, the boys fought over again their battles, and recalled the fun and experience that mad-e this first football season one long to be remembered. ' , 53? . December 12th the members of the team came together for the last time at the home of Claude Pickrell, the big right tackle. The occasion was a dinner given by him to the team. The girls who were barred from this lasf good UITIC ffi6d to play the usual ro-le of left outs and uswipe the ice cream, but the can proving too heavy for them to lift, they contented themselves by making faces at the drawn curtains. , minute - 'F 3 3 Une of the pleasant social features of the commencement week was the TCCCPUOH given the Seniors by Charles Stout, at the home of his sister, Mrs' Fin13YSon. The home was beautifully decorated in the colors of the 118 class, and the Wide veranda was ill nishing an ideal place for entertainment. The usual difficulties of i' ' arriving were experienced by some of the boys, but nothing of this nat d -- ure marre the pleasure of the evening.

In place of blackboards and desks of the business department, dainty decorations and home comforts surrounded them, for 2'4.:ri'A'wvi the, place Was the Royal home at 1234 Sixth Avenue, and the occasion was the semester banquet given by the losing to the winning side. - Charles Stout, President of the club, .presided as toastmaster. Mrs. Royal acted as hostess. While the event was a regular 'feature of the club life, it was especially significant because it Was the last one in which the Senior members would take a part. As they Were largely responsible for the organization and maintenance of the society, the consciousness that they Were to leave could but shadow the happiness of the occasion, regardless of the plan and pleasures.

The place Was the Hosmer home in High- land Park. The toast on this occasion Was Well done and served dry-so dry that the following piece has been preserved ev-en unto this day: s Here's to the boys of old North High, Who have entered the lists in debate! Who have sharpened their Wits and polished their tongues, For forensic battlesugreat. , Here's to -the spirits of Burke and Pitt, . And all the eloquent dead, Wllo Hitted away from the land of shades To haunt North High instead. Out on a lark they silently slid, To the club one Tuesday night, As each seized a member to speak for -him, ' H They laughed in ghostly delight. They entered the bo-dies of Royal and Pick ' And Stewart and Stout and Hoff, Old Daniel Webster got in Weibb, But he hadn't room enough. Cicero couldn't guide Royal's tongue, Pick tur-ned Demosthenes out, But the Wise old Greek so-on fo-und that he Had a better fit in Stout.. P Patrick Henry waved Clinto-n's hand, At one of his finest strokes, And What he planned for argument, Proved one of Clinton's jokes. L20 After a sorry fracas or two, I They got things settled quite, What wonder then, it's an eloquent cluib That meets each Tuesday night. 'Twould startle Gabriel himself to hear Such eloquence profound, V The very air is vibirant there, The judges sit spell--bound. I ! So here s,'I say, to our own club boys, And here's to their eloquence rare, Here's to the victories they're going to win, When they meet the boys from Adair! Here's to the joyful, happy times That boys can have with boys, Here's to the work that only serves To intensify those joys. And here's to the days that are slipping away, And turning these boys to men, Here's to the light-hearted, care-free times, That can never come back again.

But it would have taken more than ragtime music by a mandolin club to have wholly dispelled the feeling of sadness that lurked in the hearts of all present, because of the consciousness that this was the beginning of the end of good times at North High. The sentiments expressed in the toasts showed that love for the Pink and Green and all that it stands for in their lives is no passing sentiment.

I '3 W 3 OCIAL functions were so numerous the past week that Seniors had biarely time to change their gowns between acts. June 2d Mary Risser entertained the Seniors and faculty at her home on Arlington Avenu-e. As a part of the entertain- ment each guest had to write a characterization of some one present. After- wards they were read and a prize given to the one who could come nearest to guessing to whom th-ey all bzelonged. As the members of 1904 are pain- fully well acquainted with each other, and as the -whole' class is noted for its honesty and plain speaking, this was not a difficult thing to do. If any one winced as he was forced to see himself as others saw him, noone knew it. As it grew late a very elaborate luncheon was served, possibly to pre- pare the guests for the next function in the long series that awaited them. 122 REIGN OF THE BAMBOO QUEEN W N H the never t b A n o eforgotten joyousness of that day out of X V F: y ' ' - ' N ovorsf Away from the.-brick pavements, and street cars, V? key, away rom books and society, on and on and on th h 1 SEA. l freshness and beaut f h - mug me ' -- , , - e Y .O t C .THUG morning, past fields of rye and barley, billowing in the morning breeze, over hills just barred with the long, ,ong ro-ws of young corn, farm yards resplendent with peonies yellow roses, and honey sucklesg calves in the pastures, chickens and pigd camzping through the barn yard, everywhere life, young, abundant and rioutous life. The fish poles projected aspiringly over the heads of six happy young people. Baskets and .hammocks biulged suggestively from the backs of three buggies, as they bowled alo-ng the country roads. And neither the brown thrush in the sage brush, -or the farmer boy plowing corn, were surprised to hear the announcement in a strong tenor voice that, He was the king of Cocoanut Row-and that although she was just sixteen be wished she would be his Bambfoo Queen. This was his triumphal procession. The world was his, the beauty of it, the joy and delight of it, and neither the Russians nor Herr Kenngott could take it from him. The cat fish in Beaver Creek darted with fright into the blackest of the swirling eddies, among the rotted piers of second bridge, as the procession halted above 'him to discuss the advisability of pitching camp, but on it moved where the Beaver winds in deeper seclusion through the woods and the catfish lurk in shady pools under the over- hanging willows. ' There on the grassy bank in the June sunshine the King of Cocoanut Row and his retinue of six, pitched their tents. Seniors were those girls? High school Seni-ors, tired and worn with the strenuous lif-e of commence- h ldf ment week?

And Beavgf Creek, swollen with the summer rains, rushed tumbling and swirling past. them 5 so did the hours of that summefs day, and all too soon. The sunset glow began to crimson the we-stern sky, the doves and the bob-whites sounded their good-night calls. I A dull, red glow from the embers by the fold stump, a circling line of blue smoke, a forgotten sofa pillow, and a sto-ry book, is all that told of the reign of the Bamboo Queen. 5 Trailing into Des Mo-ines with their arms full of fad-ed wild roses an-d their heads full -of the beauty of a summer's day in Go-d's out-of-doors, came six tired, happy Seniors.

Men will continue to huddle themselves toge 125 in the city and enslave themelves in the treadmill of business, forgetting that there is a blue sky, that the seasons come and go now just as they did when they as boys, barefoot and in tan, sought the old swimming pool, and 'wandered along the banks of the old stream that was their companion in youth. Life is but a spark of light between two eternities. As it Hits across the chasm between, it should not be made dimmer. The wants of the body must be provided for. Great intellects must give close application to the problems of traffic, transportation and what not. But there is no need of enslaving the soul. There is time enough. Let us be children till the end. We can take time to note the passing of the seasons in all their variety. We can watch the birds .nest, and enjoy our favorite haunts out of doors now as we did when children. We shall bse the better for it. But the right spirit is abroad in the land and men are learning that a whiff of country air on Saturdays is helpful, and makes life brighter. They will have learned the wh-ole truth only when they learn that every day has a place in it for blue sky, sunshine, and out of doors, and that youth is not to be forgotten by great souls. 1 l , , . r D E3 g f' 1126 A Fable MM Once upon a Time two wise and Steady pedavogues who wor d. e 1 fronts and Pompadours, took a bunch of Young Piopefllls and Wend 3 their Way to the cool and shady pastures.
