Suppose you find out next ti111e. Miss Osborne, what are the tl1ree forms of one-eelled plants? t'Miss Flegel, there's an old eow up on the hill. UI 21111 sure I ean't help it, Mr. Simpson. Miss Flegel, did you take down O11 llly Attitudes and Ideals? Hlt was impossible, Mr. Hatton. They l1ad reached tl1e lowest point before I got to them.', ' The room is becoming unbearably noisy. Miss Flegel looks wildly around. HEverybody get quiet. You simply lllllSt 1l0l2 make so much noise. Well, Mr. Childs, what is it? '4Did you ever see sueh big snowflakes, Miss Flegc-l?l' Tl1e class rises' to its feet automatically. Exelamations of dismay or joy follow. Miss Flegel is almost in despair. 9 245- The bell rings. Everyone jumps up, and ill fifteen seconds the room is empty. Miss Flegel sighs deeply. The worst is over for 21110fl11B1' day. MARK EVANS. Quuhhpe, enhletnn iiaigb Qnbuul, Qenuhhpe Oft in tl1e days we have worked here, We'vfe wished that we were through, But now that the tarewells are near We look back to days spent with you. We think of the days passed together Some were happy and others were blue, But the blue ones will vanish forever, For bright are our memories of you. Wl1e11, at last, we go out from your portal, Goodbye to each other we'll say, But our love for you is ilninortal As we start o11 a different pathway. The class of '21 wonlt forget you, Nor the days tl1at here have gone by, And we 'll try very hard to deserve you- Goodbye, Pendleton High School, goodbye. HILDA LORENZEN. l 90 l

Looking up the definition of an-oh, you know what it is, Miss Flegelf' HYou dontt look up definitions in encyclopedias, Mr. Simpson. John retires in disgrace but in good spirits. 4'VVill we have a test today, Miss Flegel? No, Mr. Childs. There, what did I tell you, Snyder. You said we would have one today. '4As soon as the room becomes quiet, we will try to recite, suggests Miss Flegel. A lull follows, broken by a grunt from Dave Oberg. 4tWl1at is an amoeha, Miss Flegel? An amoeba, Mr. Oberg, is the one-cell-ed animal which we have been studying for the last month. Mr. Durkheimer, what is the matter? It is discovered that he was trying to pick up his pencil, and George Childs had, in an unintentional way, of course, hit him on the head with his elbow. I'la Osborne and Irva Dale exchange notes, which are intercepted by Dick Lawrence and loudly, proclaimed to the World. Iva11 LaHue tries valiantly to study hut seems to he losing ground. Richard Earnheart writes scientific figures and calculations on the board behind him. Daphne Mol- strom frowns and sighs. Agnes Little sits serenely in her seat, calm and unperturhed in the storm. The other members of the class try to help in the general disturbance or to preserve their lives as long as possible. Miss Flegel's good resolutions fade from view. All she has left is her dignity, and she has a feeling that even that won 't last much longer. I know some people who may have to have a talk with Mr. Landreth, she says, looking significantly at the room. 'l'hat's right, Miss Flegel, kick 'em out. Min Simpson, I didn't ask for any comment from you. Another lull, and Miss Flegel begins to ask questions again. Very good attention for five minutes. It develops that only three memhers of the class have studied the lesson, and that they have forgotten most of it. 9:35- Mr. Landreth looks in. May I see Rawlind Morrison? The door closes behind the ill-fated one. ' I-Iadn't we better go help Rol out? Mr. Landreth might heat him up. I think Mr. Morrison is in good hands, MJT. Simpson. Miss Hampton, what is an epidermal cell? 9:30- Recitation progresses well until Miss Flegel asks Miss Molstrom to name one fundamental process of life. George Childs answers immediately. Mr, Childs, are you Miss Molstrom? I didn't think she knew. T591

inlet bpstem uf 19. 19. 5, NE of the many interesting features of the Pendleton High School is the resemblance of its faculty members and students to the planets and constellations of the Solar System. This may sound a striking statement but with a little thought and consideration the similarity can be easily seen. Mr. Landreth, who is the head of the school, must represent the sun, which is the center of the Solar System and the source of its activities. Mr. Landreth may not be the center and source of all activities in this school but all activities must receive his sanction before they are official. Mercury, which is the smallest and nearest the sun, fits nicely in our comparison, as the little teacher down the hall, Miss Severance, is unques- tionably the smallest member of the faculty, though her nearness to th-e sun may be contested. The right to personify Venus, which is noted for its beauty, would natur- ally be envied, especially by the lady members of the faculty, so to avoid dispute the second nearest -the office will be chosen. This choice falls on Miss Laura Ross, though the plan may be unfair. As far as We know the earth is consider-ed the most important one of the eight planets. lt cannot be said that any one member of the faculty con- siders him or herself as such but viewing from the students' eyes Mr. Hammersly s-eems quite capable of filling this position as he has filled a good many other positions in the school already, ranging from janitor Work and supervision of the Gym classes to a professor in Physics. To Mr. Reither we give the honor of personifying Mars which derived its name from its reddish appearance. Jupit-er, the largest of the planets, is represented by Mr. Schmidt, who is also at a good distance from the sun of the high school. Miss St. Peter deserves to personify Saturn with its seven rings. This young teacher may not have seven rings, but she has several and who can tell how soon she will have another? ' Neptune was discovered as a part of the Solar System by a computation of figures and Msis Olive Rosche, as a star of the first magnitude, was dis- covered to the Pendleton High School in a search for a teacher skill-ed in Mathematics. Miss Flegel is well represented in the Solar System by the planet Uranus with its four satellites. Miss Flegel, indeed, has at least four satellites, but as 'those of Uranus are not named, it should not be necessary to name hers either. ' l91l
