'ui Q -- C' PROLOGUE The members of the Tillicum Staff of 1929, with their best efforts, have tried to portray in this book a true picture of High School events of the past year. XYe sincerely hope that in the years to come this edition may bring back to you many happy memories of your High School days. Since our school is situated in the midst of the beautiful for- ests of the Northwest, and in the center of a busy lumbering section, we have selected the Tree as the theme of our book as it best symbolizes the spirit of this region in which We live. Our thoughts about trees are so beautifully expressed in the following poem by .loyce Kilmer: l think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as 21 tree: A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breastg A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to prayg A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair, Upon whose bosom snow has lain, YVho intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me But only God can make a tree. -Ruth Norgard, Editor.

Page I3 W , :HF - l.IMg.i.,1Y YL I 1 PROPHECY Professor Harold Murray gave me a glimpse last night through his latest invention - the historoscope. As you know the scenes which took place on this earth a thousand years ago are only now being observed by the in- habitants of planets far enough distant that the light has taken a thousand years to travel. Beginning with this fact Professor Murray arranged a system- of coils and scientific instruments through which he could pick up light rays originating in any of the past thousand years. The machine thus reveals the activities of a thousand years past and becomes of incalculable aid to the historian. It has features not unlike the popular cinema which when viewed through a photographic lens reveals the activities of the past. We were watching with great interest the events of 1829 when something suddenly exploded with a sound like a pistol, the scanning disk began to rotate rapidly in the opposite direction and we presently realized that we must be gazing into the future instead of the past. Breathlessly we viewed the unfolding of the scene before us. Of the numerous events we saw I will now attempt to tell only of those which directly relate to the class. Gordon Theriault filled in the questionaire, What will be your vocation? The answeraThe pursuit of adventure. This vocation sounded very gallant and gleaming to the rest of us but after I had watched him beat his way home from China on a junk, be arrested and sentenced to be shot in Mexico and saved only through the intervention of a beautiful senorita, entombed in a Chinese punishment vault, escaping only by an earthquake, and sundry other adventures not so pleasant, it was good to see him settle down and become a plumbing contractor. Josephine Clark, having failed in her entrance examinations to the University couldn't qualify as a teacher, and having a decided aversion to all forms of useful labor, dedicated her life to politics. There she proved eminently successful. After the death of the present incumbent she fell heir to his office of King Governor of the state of Washington. She developed a great vetoing talent and was pointed out as a constructive governor. Essie Shull, whose versatility promised her a rich future in almost any- thing in which she became interested, devoted her talent to philanthropy and at least succeeded in putting the Lacey home on a sound basis. The famous cow-girl, Alice Anderson, was winning prizes at the various rodeos by her wonderful horsemanship and skill at bull dogging. Fred Dahl, whose oratorical talent was marked in his youth, held con- secutive positions as Chautauqua manager, radio announcer, and finally became a well known barker in a large circus. Edna, who signed up for the presidency, held the somewhat lesser offices of Justice of the Peace at Porter. We feel obliged as a class to give Edna the benefit of our wedding fees but feel that she transcends her right when she objects to our marrying inside the class, as it cuts her profits in half. Emil Carlson ran a beauty parlor in which he seemed to begin to do very good business until he inadvertantly gave Katie Bakers nose a permanent shine and lost all his profits in the resulting lawsuit. Tuffy Shull became a pugilist of great renown but before winning the championship became punch drunk and never fully recovering, turned his talents to poetry in which he became the competitor of Sandburg but decidedly outdistanced him. Oscar B. was early crossed in love and became a hard-boiled marine where he won many honors as all marines do.

' , :,. , Dorothy took a business course and became confidential secretary to various business men, and at last set up in business for herself as a manufact- urer of prepared high school essays. As this iilled a growing demand she achieved much success. Harold Clodius had ambitions to be a scientist, but finding all the dis- coveries in which he was particularly interested already made, he had to content himself with a job as county farm agent. Marvin Butler was a great philanderer among the ladies. He passed lightly along the primrose path gaily smashing hearts-but at last fell a victim to a widow with 9 children. As the wife looked rather frail we saw Marvin doing all the housework in addition to his outside duties, Dora Gibson on her poultry farm successfully crossed the hummingbird with the ostrich and became the propagator of the f'humstrich , a bird with the size and appetite of the humming bird but producing an ostrich sized egg. The saddest fate of all I hate to record so have left it to the last. The most beautiful, most beloved, delightful, delicious, delectable Katie Baker, vainly coquetted through life, scorning every offer of companionship and my last vision of her was a lonely spinster acting as superintendent of a home for derelict cats, unloved and all alone. I cannot vouch that all l have related of this glimpse into the future will be authentic as about this time I saw myself in some desert place, presumably the Solomon Islands, as a missionary to the Cannibals. This view served to somewhat upset my faith in the reliability of Harold's machine. Just at this juncture a neon tube burnt out and although it was replaced we have been totally unable to reproduce any of the former results even with our utmost efforts and care. e-William Perry FANCY I am carried away on a beautiful ship, To a land of sunshine and flowers, Where beautiful fairies dance and sing, In the shadows of woodland bowersg To magic hammocks where the fairies swing, And spend their happy hours. -F.

Page I5 .TLLICLML SENIOR CLASS NVILL IVe the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine, of the Oakville Union High School, being of sound mind, character and disposing memory. despite four years of intensive cultivation, and not acting under duress, men- ace, fraud, or the undue influence of any person whomsoever, realizing the grief and desolation which our departure from this house of learning will cause to those poor unfortunates left behind, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, in the manner and form following: FIRST! To the faculty we bequeath the right to keep order. fYVhen ever they canl. To Mr. Murphy, we will another bunch of seniors as intelligent and won- derful as we. To Miss Acker, one ill book, entitled The Noble Lives of Seniors . To Miss Bestler, a lock for the supply cupboard guaranteed to keep out hungry students. To Mr. Hall, a squad with strict prohibition tendencies. To Miss Sealls, we bequeath a detective to hunt down all the missing library books. To Miss Mensch, we give the right to fuss with the underclass girls. To Mr. Evans, all the broken test tubes from Chemistry 4. To Mrs. Vaughan, an ancient history class that can pass a quiz without their books open. To Miss Rittman, all the worn out eighth grade readers. SECOND: To the members of the Junior class we leave to-wit: To Alfred Boyd, the right to be shiek of the school. To Pete Ames, the right to say Mme too any time, any place.

I rm JUNIOR HIGH HISTORY PREAMBLE: We, the pupils of the Junior Hi, in order to form a more perfect class, establish Grammar, insure Domestic Science, provide for the Common Sense, promote the General Principles of Arithmetic, and secure the Blessings of our Teacher to ourselves and our successors, do ordain and es- tablish this history of The Junior High. On September 7, 1928 A. D., 22 pupils assembled timidly at the portals of the Union High School to enter the eighth grade with Miss Rittman as teacher. On the 25th of September, Arthur Rickard was elected president of the Junior Hi at a class meeting, Marion Vaughan was elected vice-president: Albatess Osborne as secretary and treasurer, but upon her leaving Marjorie Lemmon was elected for the office,g Venita Buckingham as Board of Control and Regina Theriault as Yell Leader. J In the early part of the year, a contest was held by the A. S. B, for the selling of Student Body Tickets, about three-fourths of the Sth grade subscribed. The eighth grade has done much in Basketball this year, through the generosity of Coach Hall, who allowed us a weekly period in the gym. Several games were played against the seventh grade and freshmen. VVe won every game with the frehsmen. The girl's line up was: Forwards: Marjorie Lemmon and Regina Theriault: guards: Wanda Duval and Venita Buckingham, centers: Irene Gustafson and Muriel Miller. Boy's lineup was as follows: forwards: Richard fCapt.l and Long: center: Ostergardg guards: Pearson and Olson, subs: Atwood, Rosemond and Vaughan.

W A I x U I I, -.l'f,' H . n DEBATE-PHILOLOGIAN SOCIETY We started our debate class with six members. Edna McMaster, Coressa Shull and Mildred Lemmon composed the team with Rosa Dahl as alternate. Other members were Lillian Price and Frances Harrison. We won one of the four league debates but received four of the possible twelve judges decisions. Our first debate was our winning one. It was with Rochester at Oakville on Oct. 25, Oakville upholding teh affirmative side of the question, Resolved that the installment plan of buying as a means of exchange is economically desirable. Our second debate was held at Tenino on Nov. 15, Oakville arguing the negative and losing side of the question. We were again defeated in our third debate held with Hoquiam on Dec. 14 at Oakville. The last debate of the season was held at Olympia, on Jan. 14. We faced defeat here also, but had the satisfaction of knowing that we were. the best team they had defeated. All of our debates were very close and the decisions were very hard to make, according to the judges. We had two practice debates, one with Rochester and the other with Aberdeen. At the first of the year the Philologian society was again organized. Cor- essa Shull was elected president, Mildred Lemmon, vice president and Frances Harrison, secretary and treasurer. We made more money this year than any since the society was organized, and was not only able to pay all of our debts, but were able to leave a considerable amount to the student body. -Mildred Lemmon.

Who wouldn't just want to pack up and go back to you When the bell goes to ringing and the old gang's a singing and the heart begins to throb and beat the time of Schooldays are Happy Days on the Stormy Sea of Life, or when that same heart thunders out drum beats of Oakville High School!

To his dismay he finds that under the name of Donald Clark, he has also assumed the guardianship of a girl, Betty Ann Stewart whom he supposes to be about ten years old. His first experience in the village is a violent encounter with an eighteen year old Himpudent whirlwind of a girl who upsets his dignity, rouses his ire to the boiling point, and then laughs derisively at his threats. I-Ie is horrified, later, when he finds this is the girl over whom he is supposed to be guardian. Many complications follow, but is all clears up at the end.

Coressa Shull 'The voice with a smile Wallie Larkin, a lover in a great cheese factory in town, boasts to Doris Bancroft, his best girl in the country, that he is the president of the concern, while in reality he is merely bookkeeper, His girl comes to town on business with a lawyer, Bob Brewster, who is the son of Samuel Brewster, the real president. Together the two young men form a plan for deception. They change the law office into a Cheese Company's Office and install Wallie as President, Bob as bookkeeper, Ted as messenger and Betty, Bob's sister, as stenographer. When Doris and her friend, Verna Callaway, arrive they are duly impressed with the importance of the cheese business. But-a real order is taken for a. fake call, the girls discover the deception, and Wallie loses his girl to the young lawyer. He is saved by a stroke of luck, which though un- deserved is often the reward of reckless good nature.

This practice was given the name ambio, which meant going about canvassing, This is the source of our present word ambition, but today it has a very different meaning from that ancient custom. There are almost invariably two sides to every question and ambition is no exception. lt is a virtue or it is a vice according to its object and the means by which that object is reached. VVe then naturally divide it into the desire for emulation and praiseworthy ambition. This desire for emulation urges us on to surpass some one else's record regardless of what that victory means to us personally. Ambition has interesting life stories and we find examples of inordinate ambition in such, once prominent, men as Caesar, Richelieu, Talleyi-and and the late King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. This King was responsible for two re- cent Balkan wars through his desire to make his country the Prussia of the Balkans. Napoleon Bonaparte, the greatest military genius and shrewdest statesman of the ages, had ambition born in him but unfortunately it was of the emula- tion type. His life's ambitions were to make France the supreme power of Europe and himself the master of that supreme country. Not by raising the standard of France in herself, did he acquire his greatest success but at the expense of the neighboring countries, by destroying their welfare. You are familiar with the King Midas of fables, whose sole ambition was to obtain unlimited gold. Like many others the realization of his greedy desire brought grief and the downfall of his hopes. Praiseworthy ambition is made of sterner stuff. It keeps the individual constantly working toward a clearly-visioned goal, ever trying to get ahead of himself. He looks to the surpassing of the records of yesterday, not a friend's success. This thought is expressed in an old Hindoo saying, There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being su- perior to your previous self. Joshua Reynolds, the great painter, when asked how he developed his remarkable ability replied, By observing one simple ruleg , namely, to make each picture the best. This brings to mind the famous motto of the Paulist Faghers, Let the highest achievement of yesterday be the starting point of to ay. Lincoln, Frances Willard, Burbank and many others are notable examples of those possesing praiseworthy ambitions. Thomas Edison, scientist and inventor still spends many hours each day in his laboratory. After his many contributions to our present conveniences, he is still working on problems by which he hopes to aid America in the future. Many of his ambitions have no doubt been realized but still he works toward the attainment of new am- bitions. In the often-quoted words of Longfellow, The lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime, and departing leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. Even a group or organization of people may possess ambitions which are laudable. Our own East End Progressive Club is a fine example, for there is 3 group of men who have given their time and efforts toward securing a fine high. Page 32 fiilfi I A: 5 . 'I Mplw' If , DQ 5 f'.'s '. . 2, .. -. ' fl .g:Q'J j54Ef1 ' E Il A way through the Chehalis Valley. In spite of discouragements and setbacks, they still worked for the fulfillment of their ambition. If we foster selfish ambitions, we will not recognize the opportunity to do good when that opportunity presents itself. But above all we find that no ambition is realized without endeavor. This is a quotation from Robert Brown- ing. Aspire, break bonds, l say, Endeavor to be good, and better still, and best. Success is nought, endeavors all. Persistence and a knowledge of the means by which success is to be reach- ed are very important. Endeavor is of little benefit without knowledge so today education is placed within reach of every child. The teachers are en- couraging ambition and are trying to aid students so that they will be success- ful in their chosen field of work. Arthur Lee advises each person to have a definite idea of what he means to be and a belief that he will be what he makes himself. He also urges us to, Be in all things honorableg to be cap- able in what you undertakeg be afraid of nothing but evilg be anxious for nothing but good. So you will travel to your destiny with peace and love for your companions, by a way which no cloud can darken, with a calm which none of this world's sorrow can destroy. It was the ambition to secure homes for their families which led those sturdy pioneers into this western territory. With the building of the homes, went the building of the early churches and schools. When we look at our wonderful state today, we must feel that a great heritage has been given us, made possible through the character and ambition of a noble people. lt is for us, who will rule America in a not far off tomorrow, to keep her name un- tarnished and her ideals high. We should be proud of our country, whi-.h has given us more than we can ever pay back. Dear parents, through your efforts our high school. and our four years of school work have been made possible. We appreciate your efforts that have builded, equipped and maintained this institution so that we may enter life with a high school education. We are thankful for your guidance and love that have placed us upon the road which leads to the fulfillment of our ambitions. To our teachers, we are indebted for the competent help and instruction we have received. They did not consider it their only duty to teach us from books, but counseled and aided us in seeking high ideals. Classmates, tonight we have finished four years in O. H. S. and now the future is before us We must say farewell to this school with which unseen . , many pleasant memories are associated. We must say Good-bye', but let us keep these words before us, Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, D y H H Leaving thine outgrown shell by lifes unresting seal -Edna McMaster Page 33 1 1 U M W ui if .'

We feel that this is not alone our night, that our victory means in some ways as much to you as to us, and that without your presence here our sense of triumph would be greatly lessened. We are glad that you are here. I shall address you tonight on the subject of Power. The subject I have chosen is a mighty one. It is vaster than the ocean or the firmament or the universe itself. It is the chief attribute of the Infinite and through its mani- festations He is revealed. All power is given unto Me, in heaven and in earth, said Christ, And ye could have no power at all except it were given you from above. The power manifest in the creation is active today: the tremendous trans- formations which took place when God said Let there be light are today supplying the energy to every living cell in the world. All chemical action is accompanied by ionization. The ionizing power of the mysterious and highly penetrating cosmic rays which are many times as penetrating as the most powerful X-rays and radium rays, is believed by scientists to furnish the energy of living cells. Electrons in the sun and other stars combining to form atoms under terrific pressure are believed to release the energy of these rays, hurling it to the earth with the speed of light. Ac- cording to this theory the energy generated thousands of years ago is the supply of every living vegetable and animal cell today. This primordial force through which the Creator Worked now appears to be electricity, judging by properties and appearances, but all made of the same material. The universe is yielding up to us many of the secrets of electricity. The result has been a great advance in civilization. So great is the influence of power on our present life that if it were suddenly cut off our civilization would probably collapse. Power means human happiness. It quadruples man's ability to produce. It lightens the work of the farmer, home-keeper, manufacturer, and store- keeper. Electricity can be used for everything from pumping Water or cutting Wood to milking cows and cooking meals. Could it be cheap enough there is no end to the wonders it might perform. All the common necessities of life could be produced in far greater quanities and their cost proportionately reduced. With cheap power we might have electric cultivation of the soil, either impregnating it with working voltages through the medium of a plow, or by contrast electric currents. It not only rids the soil of harmful bacteria but restores fertility and hastens germination of seeds. Buck-wheat seeds have germinated in 80 hours with the plow process. Corn, beans and potatoes in 5 days as opposed to I6 days by ordinary methods. The soil has also been heated by electricity. With cheap enough power this would make possible farming in portions of the globe heretofore considered too cold to produce. Electricity may also solve the problem of the wet tropics. With artifically cooled dwellings and office buildings there is no reason why the white man could not make his home where only colored people have lived in times past. There are desert wastes in this country where hundreds of times as many cattle could be raised as we now produce if water were available. NV'ith cheap power these deserts could be turned into beauty spots. With grazing land plentiful, cattle would be more abundant and everything more prosperous. Power should be cheaper than it is. At Ontario electricity is produced for 3 mills per kilowatt and sold for 1.6 cents after transporting 238 miles. If we could buy electricity in our homes for llfg cents per kilowatt hour, our lives would be revolutionized. If enough of us demand cheap electricity we will Page 3-1 i 'T -if ' T-lil? ' 5 3 ..f f-51.211 iff fr get it. 1 But.men want super-power. That is why science ponders over the dis- integration of the atom. The atom consists of enormous amounts of imprison- ed energy. The problem is how to free it. Science promises that it shall be done at last, but we will need a safe and a cheap way to distribute and store it, Already the radio is transmitting power in a limited way. Some day we will send it any distance to any point of the compass. YVThat shall we say of the era of wonders coming? There is the sea. From it, electric power can be obtained by the varying temperatures at the top and bottom, we are told. The warm water at the surface of the tropic sea would furnish natural steam to run giant turbines. After the machines were set running cold water pumped from the depths would condense the used steam and maintain a suction that would yield fresh vapor. Just as power put to worthy uses is the most beneficient factor in our lives so when used in anger, malice and hatred it becomes the most destructive. Evil in men is the result of misdirected power, just as in nature the same forces may produce the hurricane, tornado, flood or fire or may result in beauty, productivity and growth. Man, always delighting in destruction, today has engines of destruction vastly more advanced than those of transportation, education, manufacture, or medicine. Military science strides faster than all the sciences of peace. For the next war there are now in preparation aerial torpedoesg radio control of submarine torpedoesg bombing planesg armored super-airplanesg soundless cannon: ma- chine guns shooting 2400 bullets a minute: flashlights of a million candle pow- er, liquid poison, three drops of which will kill on contactg electric apparatus to explode enemy ammunition stores far back of their lines, super-guns with shells outranging by miles any heretofore in use: armored super-submarines: new deadly poison gasesp a semi-automatic shoulder rifle that fires 60 shots a. minute, practically making every soldier a machine gunner. There is absolutely no limit to the terrible preparations for a war in which the paralysis or death of a whole nation may be achieved through the dis- tribution of chemicals carried in bombs by radio controlled airplanes. One day of such a war may easily prove far more destructive than the entire four years of the world war dreadful as those years were. Peace has always been the noble dream of noble men, but unfortunately there is not much encouragement for the dream in the feverish haste with which chemical and electrical devices are being prepared for universal conflict. And yet in all this conflict of matter of destructive forces of war, crime, evil, woe and want may we not hope that though annihilation may come to this world in its present form, yet that forth from the chaos and confusion, purified by the fires of regeneration, new stores of energy may be unlocked, new forces liberated that shall produce a new heaven and a new earth, revitalized and unified by the same Spirit that still broods over the universe. -William L.

The Amicitia club was again organized in the early fall with Frieda Win- eicki as president, Dorothy Easter, vice-president: Elve Wilson, secretary: Grace Bjorkgren, treasurer and Miss Bestler, adviser. The club is composed of all the girls of the High School. The purposes of the club are to raise the scholarship and to promote friendly relations between the upper and lower class girls. The club owns a cup on which the name and year of the class having the highest scholarship for the whole year is engraved. The girls held their annual masquerade party, and many interesting meet- ings. One big meeting to be held in the late spring in honor of our mothers will end the club year. The girls had a candy sale at the Junior Play, and bought a mirror with the returns. -Coressa Shull '29, JUNIOR CARNIVAL November 23, 1928 was a great night for the Juniors. The main show in the auditorium was especially well attended and voted one of the best ever given. The Strolling Ministrels entertained as the Hrst act, and also helped in between times. Lester Vaughan made his debut as a monologue specialist in Hiram Blows ln , and just about brought down the house, especially when he almost lost his hat. A one act play, t'Mother Says Her Say completed the program with an able cast consisting of Gordon Ther- iault, Frieda Winiecki, Keith Murphy, Elve Wilson, Geneva Anderson, and Don- ald Atwood. The remainder of the evening was devoted to merry-making in the gym- nasium. Eight booths decorated in brilliant colors attracted the attention of the audience in the gymnasium. ln the midst of all the hilarity, some had their fill of candy, ice-cream and hot dogs, others were being informed what their occupations in life were to be, many tried their luck at the fish pond. or throwing balls at nigger babies, trying to win beautiful dolls as prizes. After seeing t'Mysteries of the World , Queer animals from Africa , Ten cents for five , its no wonder that some of the students said their knowledge had increased to such an extent that they feared that they would be unable to sleep that night. Of course the big event of the evening was the crowning of the Carnival Queen. The voting had resulted in the victory of the Senior candidate, Edna McMaster. To the strains of soft music played by the orchestra the proces- sion was led by the attendants: Grace Bjorkgren, Freida Winiecki, Erma Mil- ler, and Muriel Miller, followed by Queen Edna l in a gown and robe of white with a touch of royal purple in the 1'uff at the neck. She was met at the throne by Duke Freeman Theriault who placed the crown of pearls on her head, declaring her Queen of the Carnival. Before the recessional, Katherine Baker and Neta McDade, in gay Spanish costume, danced before the throne for the pleasure of the Queen and the guests. A peppy jazz orchestra kept the crowd happy, and a place to buy confetti helped some more. Everyone voted the evening well spent. -Beatrice Irvin '30, Page 36 me It It 2 i Ea E m tif r Q .4 if..

As had been the custom for several years past, each teacher was responsible for an act of the show. Miss Mensch and Miss Sealls took charge of the music, which in- cluded orchestra numbers before and during acts. Freeman Theriault sang The Little Irish Girl and Frieda Winiecki sang 'fRoses Everywhere. Miss Acker presented a clever act ln Old Japanv in which gay parasols and gor- geous Japanese kimonas added to the Oriental effect, f'Just a Little Mistake, a one-act play under the supervision of Miss Bestler, won much applause from the audience. Mr. Evans with the assistance of Leonard Shull and Harold Clodius introduced us into the mysteries of chemical arts. An interesting pan- tomine, Father Time's Calendarl' was planned by Mrs. Vaughan and with the aid of shaded lights and interesting costumes beautiful portrayals of the months in the year were produced. Two humorous dialogues were given by Lester Vaughan and Oscar Belchschmidt under the direction of Mr. Hall. A song and dance number La Espanola directed by Miss Sealls assisted by Miss Mensch presented about fifteen boys and girls in gay Spanish costumes, keep- ing time to the music of the dancing tambourines. As a grand finale, everyone taking part in the Vaudeville was grouped on the stage in their bright costumes as the curtain rose. A beautiful blending of rose colored and green lights added the last colorful scene to our Vaudeville. -Ruth Norgard '30. JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET May the third the annual banquet was given in honor of the Seniors. The Juniors worked diligently to successfully entertain the Seniors and the Faculty. One end of the Gymnasium was dressed up to represent a Japanese garden, while the other end was used for dancing. The clever table decorations and place cards carried out the Japanese motif. A delicious meal was prepared by the committee and served by dainty Sophomore misses. Freeman Theriault, acting as toastmaster, opened the program by intro- ducing Elve Wilson, Junior President, who welcomed the Senior Class and other guests. A response was given by Edna McMaster, Senior Class President. There were several good musical numbers interspe1'sd throughout that pro- gram, and the speaker of the evening was given much applause. Dancing followed the program, which gave just the right ending for most of us to a very pleasant evening. -Ruth Norgard '30, Page 37 I I I I I I CU!-L, I.. ,Avi M r v ' I, ,-..!?'5Ql, -,. Ig .--.

Over one hundred were there to respond hilariously to all the merrymaking. An innovation this year was the presentation of an act by each of the classes, the faculty, and the Amicitia Club. One stunt after another provoked more and more roars of laughter as the program continued. The Juniors were the winners with their wonder of the world, the 'Grafting Machinei! The other stunts given were the Junior High Barber Shopg the Freshman Gink Family, so musically inclined: The Sophomore pantomine, a. movie drama: The Faculty, tFirst Two XVeeks of School': and the Amicitia Club dgrnongty-ated what a joy it is to go joyriding, and the advantage of a substantial spare tire. Games and singing were enjoyed immensely in the gymnasium after the stunts. After the refreshments were served, many tripped the light fantastic. FRESHMAN INITIATION The Freshman initiation was held October twelfth in the gymnasium. Just what did happen to the freshmen could be told by them perhaps in a much better fashion. Even nature seemed to be against the poor freshies for this terrible night she gave us a cold bleak one with the wind whistling around every corner of the building. We cannot go into this in too great detail for it may spoil everything for the sophomores next year. Even if everything seemed terrible at the time the frshmen will have to admit that it didn't hurt them and that an enjoyable time was had by all. At least all of them were in school the next Monday as fresh as ever. Cider and doughnuts were served after this grand entertainment. BIG AND LITTLE SISTER'S PARTY Clothes don't make the man, but a mask and costume can surely change a girl's looks. Pirates, gypsies, clowns, kids in bloomer dresses and short pant's suits were only a few of the characters at the Amicitia Clubls party in the gymnasium Friday evening, November ninth. Who could guess that they were all girls? Musical chairs, passing a thimble, and many other games, relay races, dancing, and a grand march helped to make the evening one of continu- ous fun. Refreshments were served, of course, after which everyone went home with a feeling that the evening had been well spent. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY The Sophomore class party was held on March 7, 1929. Each member of the class was allowed to invite some other student in high school as a guest. An enjoyable evening was spent in playing games such as Winkum. Flying Dutchman, Two Deep, and Here Comes My Ship A-Sailing. Refreshments were served by the committee. Page 38 I4 ,'-:Nfl 1 I , .

The gym was very prettily decorated in our class colors Purple and Gold. Our pennant, which had just recently been rescued, held the place of honor. The entertainment for the evening was composed of various games which weret Cross Questions and Silly Answers, Three Deep, Too Late for Supper, Farmer in the Dell, Ruth and Jacob, Going to Alaska and Winkum, and danc- ing which we all enjoyed very much. ' Then came the big event of the evening Refreshments which were served ln the Home Economics room where the tables were decorated with Easter egg baskets and bouquets of daffodils tied with purple and gold ribbons. After the refreshments the party very hurriedly adjourned to the gym where a very exciting Easter egg hunt was enjoyed. Our guest list numbering about thirty was composed of the faculty mem- bers and students from every class, and everyone proclaimed the party a big success -E. E.

Im DUPLICITY DUPED Jimmy was scarcely able to drag his tired and quivering body into bed. if that is what a dry goods box on a street corner, fitted out with some straw and a few soiled rags, may be called. The little newsy was completely ex- hausted from his strenuous work of selling papers, which seemed to be dimin- ishing the small and wan figure daily. Of late it had become a habit with him after retiring for the night, to non- der over circumstances. Nine years old and small as he was he realized that his frail body had not been intended for his present work. Tonight his mind drifted back to a dark and evil face of a man, with whom he had lived in a cheap boarding house in the suburbs of the city. And the vivid remembrance of nightly beatings from the drunken thug, who relieved him of his daily earnings on the street, roused vengance in his tiny soul. But the most heart- breaking disappointment of all was the night the harsh landlady ordered him from her door. bewailing the fact that his guardian had left without re- imbursing her. Little did the lonesome and heartsick boy know that she had been well paid for the bluff. Three times since, Jimmy thought he had seen the same ugly face peering at him from a passing car. It haunted him day and night and the fact that he was being watched confirmed itself in his soul. But back of all of it tonight, which before had been the faintest vision. was new a clear and striking picture of a sweet angelic motherly face. Had he chanced to examine his own features in a mirror he might have recognized seine of them distinctly in this fleeting yet reassuring vision. One evening a few days later. Jimmy Bruce was selling his last bunch of papers in a remote part of the city, and being very fatigued he was not aware of the danger lurking behind him. He was grabbed, gagged and bound, and before he realized his predicament or was able to protest, he found himself being whisked away in a closed car. He was taken to the same apartment house as before, but this time it had been completely rennovated. Elaborate furnishings had taken the place of the old and shabby ones. The same old wizened landlady eyed him curiously and contemptuously, as he was roughly ushered to a room. Here he lived in seclu- sion for a week. ln the meantime. what he had first thought to be a phono- graph, he discovered to be a radio. One afternoon on the sixth day of his imprisonment, his room door had been left ajar. The radio was turned on and he could hear a symphony or- chestra playing in Boston. Next the superb voice of a prima donna thrilled his music starved soul. A dramatic play held him rapt, As the end of the program grew near, he began crying for sheer joy. Jimmy sat tense, every nerve in his weary body was tingling! The radio announcer was speaking. A twenty-thousand dollar reward will be given to the person or persons giving any information as to the where abouts of James Moreland Jr. the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Moreland, Boston millionaires. He is a small nine year old boy, with golden hair, light blue eyes and a fair com- plexion that is slightly freckled, The child was kidnapped from his mansion home in Boston at the age of four years. Skilled detectives have been at a loss. The grief stricken parents have paid a fifteen thousaid dollar reward to a mysterious demand about a week ago and are still denied their son. The mother, having lost all hope of recovering her child, has suffered a. complete collapse. Physicians announce that his recovery is the only hope of saving her life. If any information is found regarding the kidnapped boy, please inform the Boston or New York police stations immediately. Luckily they had forgotten to take his earnings! He had four dollars and seventy cents saved. Could he make it? He must! Surely they would be Page 40 N- ' -'B ' ' 'I I: 4 .I ww, A D , 1 I 3 sas My ,fi I A 'T T. 1. - s- 1'1' -T . , . wr. ,, . ,. . . '. on kind enough to let him ride free part of the way if he explained. What if he was not the desired boy? A great hard lump rose in his throat, He turned to the mirror. Yes! he fitted the description exactly, and there was hope! That evening when all the guests were engaged at dinner, he put on a man's coat that he found hanging in the hall, that was decidedly big for him, and quietly let himself out on the street. In five more minutes he was at the station, and in Hfteen more, his train was due. It seemed an interminal distance from Chicago to Boston, but he must make it. He would make it! He boarded the train with hopes soaring sky high, yet fearful lest he be forced to get off before his journey was half completed. After explaining to the trainmen, they willingly let him remain and he received excellent care, at their hands, the remainder of the journey. In the meantime the landlady and her crafty son, learning they were duped took a fast train to Canada. They were suspected and held in custody on the border line. On the third day, the travel-worn and tired little boy arrived in Boston. Police officials met him at the station, having been informed of his coming arrival by the railway headquarters. He was hurried away into the most ex- clusive residential section of the city, and to a grand and imposing brown stone mansion. The child's soul was filled with anxiety as he was being led into the sick womanis 1'oom. A joyous cry rent the air, and Mrs. Moreland's son was clasped to her breast. The last thought that pawed through his mind was that he was Jimmie Moreland! Mr. Moreland hearing the cry, hurriedly joined the group. The police officials, smiling sympathetically, wisely withdrew. Two days later the conspiritors on the Canadian border were brought to trial, and assigned life imprisonment behind the bars, by the testimony of a pale but extremely happy boy-James Moreland Jr. THE END -By Ruth M.

Leaning on the lawn mower, Jack was soon daydreaming of how he would like to be hunting in the nearby forest. lt was not long before his dreams became a reality and he was actually walking in the direction of the woods with a gun slung importantly over his shoulder. Jack, feeling like a Free- man and without a thought of HPrudence walked aimlessly about the forest enraptured at the f'Dell' of beautiful flowers among which were Easter lillies, Sweet Williams, and wild Rosas which he encountered. Just as Jack was about to take Ame at a fine game bird, he heard footsteps, and turning he found himself confronted by the Marshall . Well Jack knew that he was hunting out of season and that he was trapped like Jonas in the whale's stomach. The Marshall took Jack to unfamiliar surroundings and they were soon in the heart of a small village. They entered a large house which re- minded Jack of a king's palace in the days of King Alfred of which he had often read. Earls and 'fButlers stood in attendance to' serve some men who were sitting, at a large table drinking Champaigne . At another table sat some Greedy looking men rapidly diminishing their food. On a luxurious Couch lay a man dressed in the dashing costume of Don Quixote. Dainty Dahls garbed in beautiful costumes set with Opals , which must have cost an exhorbitant Price , danced with 'fGrace ful movements on a large plat- form. Jack was taken to the man on the Couch whom he had thought from the first was the Master , After he had heard Jack's story, he motioned for one of the Butlers who took Jack into another room where a f'Baker was baking bread, and told him to help himself. Jack had a good appetite in spite of his fright, and after he had eaten, and drank a glass of Lemmon ade he was given a ticket and put on a train. A negro Porter took his ticket and told him he was nearing his destination. When Jack stepped from the train, the last Ray of Light was disappearing from the sky, and he found himself in the depot of his own home town. -Dorothy Easter. Mrs. Vaughan To Ancient History class: Who fiddled while Rome burned? Frenchy: Hector. Mrs. V.: No it was not Hector. Frenchy: Towser. Mrs. V.: Towser! What do you mean? It was Nero. Frenchy: Well I knew it was someone with a dog's name. Miss Mensch: Can anyone use the word etiquette in a. sentence. Dumb Freshman: Tony went to a rabbit feed and when he got home he found he had etta cat. Bright Sophr How much does a six-pound catfish weigh? Not so bright Frosh: I dunno. Soph: Well what time does the twelve o'clock train leave? Frosh: Twelve o'clock. Soph: Then how much does a six-pound catfish weigh? Freshman with sudden inspiration: Twelve pounds.

Last spring all of our players graduated but two. Our first game was with Elma. Nearly all of our players were just getting over the flu, and some were still sick, so this game proved to be our worst loss. Our game was a hard fought game with Rochester, but they got the best of us with five points. The game with Yelm was a poor game. No one had any pep. Our game at Little Rock proved a success. We all went in and did our stuff, and with the directions of our Captain Anderson, won the game. Olympia Y. W. C. A. was a fairly good game, with every one doing her best. The second game with Rochester proved to be a rip and roaring one. Everyone was on her toes, and the shooting of the two forwards was good. Our pep was almost gone with the last game, but we managed to pull through with a good score. 7 Oakville -- ....... Elma 21 20 Oakville -- -- Rochester 25 10 Oakville -- .................

A record for hard luck was hung up, by losing three consecutive games by one point. The boys played hard, practised faithfully, kept up their courage through all their hard knocks and fought to the end. Coach Hall did all in his power for the good of his teams, and too much praise cannot be given him. We lose four players this year, but five remain to fight on for the glory and honor of O. H. S. next year. The summary follows: Team Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Oakville Score 19 18 -- 15 12 17 -- ....

Two games have already been played, Oakville com- ing out victor in each encounter. Too much praise cannot be given to the steady coaching of Mr. Hall. The S. W.
