JUNE 12, 1902 This issue of our paper is for those who are i interested in, and who appreciate our work in the schools of Petatluma. We have found that it was a great deal of work canvassing for ad¬ vertisements; but, nevertheless, we did not become discouraged. We hope the students and friends will give a share of their patron¬ age to our advertisers. We have found that the businevSs men and women of Petaluma have shown an interest in us which we appreciate. The fact that many of the business men of this city, whose entire market is foreign, have ! helped us shows that we have their good will ! and support. We thank our advertisers, our teachers and all who have contributed to make ; the clo.sing events of the class of “ V)2” a success. One more year has glided by and another j class is to leave our school, to go out and learn the practical le.ssons of life. vSo we feel that this is an important period in the lives of we ' who have completed our course. Shall we go ahead? or shall we try to stand still and then retrograde? This is indeed a deciding and critical period. - % - Reserve Power. t _ We can never tell what is in a man until an emergency calls out his reserve; and he can not call out one ounce more than he has .stored up. In any l attle it is the reserve corps that lends success to the army. In a stationary engine there is always a large fly-wheel, which It is your knowledge, your experience and your character, the moral wealth you have ac¬ cumulated during your life, that measures your power and influence of today. You must .stand or fall by your resej ' i ' e poiuer when the crisis conies. - 0 - Class of “ 02.’ ' Many members of this class have fallen be¬ hind in their studies. Others had to stop school to earn a livelihood by the sweat of their brow, but the few who have triumphed over all the difficulties nia ' well deserve to be called the “ Cla.ss of 02.” We hope that each member of I this cla.ss will be succe.s.sful in life, and that I the word “fail” will be a word unknown to your vocabulary. The little troubles you thought you have had while trying to master some Tatiif or Algebra will indeed seem small in after life, and pleasant, indeed, will be the reflections of the many hours which were spent in school life. We are sure you will never forget the teach¬ ers of this school, to whom you owe very much. vSo we bid farewell for the la.st time, as a class, to the “ Cla.ss of 1902,” hoping that the mem¬ ories of the Petaluma High School will always be dear to you. - m — — Answer this question to your own satisfaction : “There are just two kinds of people on earth today., Just two kinds, and no more I say. Tt Not the bad and the good, I ' or ’tis well understood, The good are half bad And the bad are half good. No ! the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who li l and the people who lean.” In which class are you? ' - - Confucius says : “Life is what we make it.” This being so, we cannot aim too high. Build is used to distribute the energy evenly so that j your ideals lofty and high; then, b}’ hard work when extra force is u.sed the sudden shock will ' and perseverance, 3 ' ou will sin;eh ' reach the not stop the engine.

During the past four years 3 011 have encountered inanv difficulties, which being overcome, have added to your strength. You have now reached what once niav ha ve .seemed to ou to l)e the topmost round of the educational ladder, ])ut 3 011 now realize that there are more rounds above you than below. Ilv this time 3 011 have learned the pleasure there is in climbing and will not be content to rest where you are. Looking back to the be¬ ginning of 3 our High Scliol cour.se 3 011 can judge somewhat of the po.s.sibililies of .self¬ development that are in store for you. It is a pleasure and a .source of iii.spiration to feel that you are now able to do more for yourselves and for others than you once could. Having reached this point, and thus obtained a better view, you are now able to distinguish more clearly what is worth while in life and no ordinary obstacle will keep you from further ! advancement. This advancement may be along ! the line of a college education, music, or art, | but upon one condition only will you be .satis- i fied — there must be i ro2vth. 1 look back with keen pleasure upon the | three years spent with you and rejoice in the ! successful completion of your High School j course. Very sincerely, Wn.BiTR J. ] I.acNktl. Class History. Prom the point of numbers, the class of 1902 has been a dismal failure. When we graduated from the Grammar School there were thirt3 - five of us; the largest class that ever graduated I while .Mr. Cromwell was principal. Twenty-six I enteied the High vSchool. Such a number of “giddy Freshmen”—so we were called, and we deser ed the name — was an encouraging sight. , At the beginning of our Sophomore 3 ear there-were ten of us. Some left .school, but almost half of our classmates found the nucleus of the Commercial class, which was then estab¬ lished. During the year two or three left us. Me weie first six, then five, then four, and then three Juniors. Me, vSeniors, two in number, were jubilant when Miss Cora Perkins, from the SalinasHigh I School, came to swell our numbers. Our de- . light was short-lived, for she, too, deserted us. I vSo now you see the cla.ss as it is; the remnant I of twent3’-six Preshmen. That 3 011 ma3 know I who and where the others are, they have been I .searched out and their names here appear : I Allie Anderson is at .school and hopes to j graduate in ' 03. M ill Lew is was at school for three 3 ' ears, but then work in San hrancisco became more attractive to him. lyOttie Pressv lives with her parents on a farm near town. Pearl MJnans left us at the close of her third year. She is now training for the .stage and w e hope to hear soon of a brilliant success. Rd Hussey is at work wdth the Electric Light company as lineman, in town. Ruby Fairbanks, who is living at M ' illitts, occa.sionally visits her old home. Lena Hanger, about a year ago, tired of her surname and changed it to Pomeroy. She now re.sides in Oakland. Emma Steffes graduated last year from the Commercial Class and is book-keeper at the Maze. Gertrude Coate graduates from the Los Angeles High School this 3 ear. Edna Peoples is at Dr. McNutt’s hospital in San Francisco, training to become a nurse. Davitt Melehan is working on a sheep ranch in the mountains. Alberita Kopf for a time attended the vSanta Rosa Business College. She is now keeping books at Horn’s Real Estate agency. Elsie KufFel has learned the millinery trade and is filling a position in San Jose. Walter White is in the southern part of the state in the employ of the railroad. Etta Friggens is in Woodland with her parents. Lottie Anderson has been in the vSan Jose Normal for three years and expects to finish next summer. Rudolph Meyling is transacting commission business on Washington street. Because part of a year was spent in Euiope, Tessie Sweed was unable to graduate with us. Our loss is the third year class’ gain. Clara Johnson was married three years ago and went to Honolulu to reside. She is still there with her husband and little bo} . Nellie Hall is in San Francisco working at her chosen trade—that of a milliner. Arthur Connolly is also in San Prancisco at work. Nellie Knowles is living at home in Blucher valle} lAilu Parker is in the northern part of the county. Ed. Kelsey left school at the end of the . I ' reshnian year and is now in the city. Sarah Boekenoogen is the pride of our class. Throughout her whole course she has often charmed us with her sweet singing, and has al¬ ways been ready to do her share in all entei- tainmenfs. Sarah is quiet in .school, but some¬ how or other luck has always been against her. She has always been scolded for the misdeeds of her friends, who made no objection when she got the blame which they de.served. As a Junior .she was the wonder of the Seniors, being able to coin new words by the score, and, though none else could pronounce them, she managed the feat with perfect ease. Although she has had much w ' ork at home and abroad, she has always ranked well in her studies. She has shown herself to be of a sweet disposition and lovable filso, since the writer has become acquainted with her, but the last was accom¬ plished only during this our last year together. We predict a brilliant future for her, and wish her a long and happy life. z. F. S. Last but nqt least, comes our editress-in-chief, Zada Smith. During the first two years of her High School career she was the terror of all the teachers, e.specially Wilbur J., but that did not prevent her from always having her lessons. However, during her Junior and vSenior years she has improved wonderfully not in hei studies, for in them she was always excellent— but in her deportment, and now is very digni¬ fied. Yet in spite of her dignity she is always ready for a good joke. Zada’s favorite study is history, and she does so well in that she can re¬ cite and work Physics at the same time. We think that if she continues along this line she may succeed in emulating Caesar’s example by dictating seven letters at one time. Zada is very popular among all the students, and we feel assured that next year when she attends the State University she will not be long in making many friends. K. J. R. The World is too Much With Us. The w ' orld is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our power; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid noon I The sea that bares her bosom to the moon, The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are upgathered now like sleeping flowers— For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.—Great God 1 I’d rather be A pagan suckled in a creed outworn. So might I, standing on this pleasant lea. Have glimpses that w ould make me less forlorn! Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea, Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. — Wordsivorth. The P. H. S. Literary Society. —« — The Literary Society of the Petaluma High School was organized November r, 1901. Be¬ fore our definite organization, e.xercises were Iield Monday morning in the High School, and were devoted principally to debating. The first regular meeting of onr present society was on the evening of November 1, igor, in the Brick School, I Ii. Clark very kindly tendering the use of his class room. I.ittle was done other than to appoint a committee to draw np the constitution and by-laws. The committee was compo.sed of Mr. Cromwell, chairman; Miss vSinith and .Air. McAllister. At its ne.xt meeting, November 15th, the society was given its present name, the consti¬ tution adopted, and the following officers nomi- uated : presi.lenls, .Mr. Cromwell, Mr. Mc.Allis- ster, Mr. Poehlman; vice-president, Mr. Brain- erd; secretaries, Mr. Foster, .Mi.ss .Schlnckebier; sergeant-at-arms, -Mr. Wilder. A debate at the meeting held Heoember 13th was the commencement of our programs, the i principal feature of the .society. The subject was: Resolved, “That Football Should be Ku- conraged.” -Affirmative, -Mr. Poehlman, Mi.ss Rodgers. Negative : Mr. Camm, Miss Sweed The meeting then proceeded to busine.ss and the following officers were elected : President, Mr. Cromwell ; Vice Pre.sident, Mr. liraiuerd ; Secretary, Miss .Schlnckebier. The following program committee was ap- pointeil : Misses Kurtz, .Aikin.son and Smith. Onr .Society no V being formally started, the i following program was given at its meeting on Jan. 17th : Recitation, Miss Duntou ; Banjo solo, .Miss Brush. Debate : Resolved— Foreign Immi.gratiou to the United States .should be I’rohibited.’’ -Affirmative ; Mr. Brainerd, Miss Idealey. Negative ; Mr. F ' oster, -Mr. Cromwell. .At each meeting the attend¬ ance increa.sed and often the room was taxed to Us utmost to seat the people. On February mb, we held one of our best meetings since the organization of the society. Following is the excellent program which was rendered : Reading, Miss Otlie Smith ; Pho¬ nograph selections ; Comedy in one act en¬ titled: “How -Airs. Haskell did not hire a cook.” Debate ; V.w frr -“That the Jury system should be abolished. -Affirmative : -Mr. ,Mc- -Allister, Miss Hays. Negative : Mr. Winsor ’ Ali.ss Raaf. I he Society contiuued to grow in popularity, and it soon became evident that accommoda¬ tions would have to be larger. .A petition was pre.sented to the Board requesting that the High .School be furnished with lights in order that , we might hold the meetings of our .society in onr own .school building. Rvery member of I the school desires to extend hearty thanks to the Board for its prompt compliance with their request. Before our next meeting, Feb. 28th, the school was supplied with the necessary lights, a platform was erected at one end of the hall provided with two drop curtains, the piano was tuned and polished, and from that time on such excellent programs have beeti lendeied, that althongh the .seating capacity of the hall averages two hundred, even the .stair¬ way has been required. Finally establi.shed in its new quarters, the program committee took renewed interest in its work and the facilities the hall afforded for an opportunity of display¬ ing our students’ histrionic ability. They de¬ serve great praise for their creditable presenta- tion of farces. On Feb. 23d we met in regular session in onr own building. Program : Instrumental trio, Mr. and Misses Winsor ; solo, Mi.ss Hood. De¬ bate : “That a property qualifica- tion for municipal suffrage in the United States ; is undesirable.” Affirmative : Miss Perinoni, | Mr. Lauritzen. Negative : Miss Healey, Mr. ; Camm. After the program a business meeting was ! held. Officers for the ensuing term were nomi¬ nated as follows : For President, Mr. Camm, Mr. Poehlman. Vice-President, Mr. Foster. vSecretary, Miss Rodgers. At the next meeting of the society held March 21st, the officers were elected as follows : President,-Mr. Poehlman ; Vice-President, Mr. Foster ; Secretary, Miss Rodgers ; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Cromwell. The President appointed on the program com¬ mittee Mrs. Hubbard and Misses Sweed and Schluckebier. Not only had our accommodations to be in¬ creased but the numbers of our program were of a more varied character, and never failed to draw a large and interested audience. Follow¬ ing is the program of the above meeting : Piano duet. Misses Boekenoogen and Schluckebier. A Foot-ball Farce written by MivSS Kurtz. De bate : Resolved —“That an Income Tax, if Constitutional, should be incorporated into the tax system of the United vStates. Affirmative : Misses Ottie Smith and Martinelli. Negative : Misses Burns and Early. Ever since the organization we have con¬ tinued to meet almost regularly twice a month. It’s object—that of teaching the student power of expression, of self control and self-assur¬ ance, is being more and more fully realized. The benefits derived from such efforts cannot be over-estimated. The meetings held since March 21st have been of the same sort, with excellent programs first and business meetings afterward. There were five judges appointed by the president for each debate. Almost always two were out¬ siders and three students. To decide which side presented the better debate, one must pay close attention and follow the arguments care¬ fully. This habit of careful attention and close discrimination is of great use in life, and by putting students on as judges they are taught this habit. Debates thus benefit not only the debaters but also the judges. To Professor Ferguson belongs the credit of organizing this society. He proposed it first and has worked faith full} ' ever since its organi¬ zation to make it a succes s. We hope that the benefit derived from these meetings may so raise the standard of the school that he may feel his efforts have not been in vain. E. J. R. ' 03. ...ATHLETICS.- Football. Although the athletes in this school have not been up to the standard of former times, we have tried to do our best, and have done very well under the present conditions. The football season started with bright pros¬ pects, for we had very good material for the organization of a team. Practice was started about the middle of September of last year. Suits were donned three times a week, while the remaining time was spent in signal practice and formation plays. During practice on the day before our first game with a picked team known as the “ Katz- enjanimers,” our left half back, H. K. Brainerd, broke his collar bone, whereby our hopes for the following day were .somewhat shattered. The day of the game dawned, with the sun hid behind the clouds, and numerous heavy show¬ ers made the ground exceedingly poor for play¬ ing. Though our team was heavily handicapped through the superior weight of our opponents, after an hour’s hard playing the score stood o to o. Because of the mishap mentioned above, several members of the team were un¬ able to play through paternal objections, and so the sea.son ended. Field Sports. Our time was next taken up in training for the S. M. A. L. field day, which was to be held at vSanta Rosa on the 19th of April. Through the kindness of Mr. Smith, Agricultural Park was obtained as training quarters. Training was followed consistently for six weeks, at the end of which time all were in fair condition. The day of the games came at last and ’twas a merr}’ crowd that assembled to cheer our boys to success. The shot put was called first, in which O. fl. Lafranchi of our school was en¬ tered, but failed to qualify. Next came the loo- yard dash, in which Mr. Poehlman obtained third place, scoring our first point for the day. RELAY TEAM. In the 22()-yard dash Poehlman al.so took third place. In the 440-yard dash and high jump we had H. K. Brainerd who failed to score, yet did very well. In the distances were Lauritzen, Ilarte and Dean who, although they did not succeed in getting within the limit, promised well for the future, ' i ' he last event of the day, the relay, was verv exciting. First place was won by Ukiah, Santa Kosa second, Petaluma third, who beat the Healdsburg High and kept them from scoring a point. Baseball. The baseball season was opened after the completion of the field .sports. A league was formed, consisting of four teams; .Santa Ro.sa High, Healdsburg High, Santa Ro.sa Business College, and Petaluma High. Practice for the first game began w’ith great vim and enthusiasm and the first game was played on May 24th in this cit}’ between the .Santa Ro.sa High and the Petaluma High. The game was interesting and well played until the eighth inning, when the score stood 3 to 2 in our favor. Then came that disastrous last inning, wdieii our team went to pieces and we were defeated by a score of 8 to 3. Following is the line-up of our team : Catcher, Farrell; pitcher, Lauritzen; first base, Guyon; .second ba.se, Baldwin; third base, Poehlman; short stop; Kenneally; right field, Hart; center field, Tuttle; left field, Camm. Basketball. In 1S98 was started the first basketball team j of the P. H. S. The pupils were very enthu- , siastic at first, but the interest didn’t last long and basketball was dropped until last year, ' when a team compo.sed partly of High School I girls and partly of outsiders was formed. This ! team played two match games, one with the I .Santa Ro.sa fligh School and one with the At- i lanta team of the Girl’s High .School of .San I Francisco. In the first match, owing to each j team playing by different rules, we were de- j feated, but in the second game we defeated the ' .San ITancisco team by a considerable margin. ; This year the sport was again revived, though I not until late in the sea.son, and the team was ' composed wholly of girls going to the High .School. Through Mrs. McNear’s kindness we practiced in her tennis court for a while and later in an empty lot on Keller .street. The girls worked hard and conscientiously, the one disadvantage being that we could never get a large or strong enough team to play against, and therefore had to divide, so losing much team practice. Along with our hard work we had full, and many good times which we will not soon forget. The girls al.so claim that ba.sket ball aids in mathematics (for example- — ])roving propositions in geometry.) The basket ball officials this year were Kdna Rodgers, captain and Te.ssie .Sweed, manager. The regular team was comj o.sed of the fol¬ lowing : Centres.—Hilda Atkinson, Myrtle Ilealy, Kvelyn Hall. Opal Hays. Guards.—Edna Rodgers, Lucetta Brush. Goals.—Edith Wilson, Helen Poehlman, Tessie vSweed. vSnbs. —Eleanor White, Genevieve Martinelli, Ruby McGuire. On May 30th, this team played a match game with the Atlantas and were defeated, the score of games now being Atlanta, i; Petaluma, i. Though defeated, we all enjoyed the last game immensely, as did the interested spectators to whom was proven the many virtues and advan¬ tages of the game. We hope to win the decid¬ ing game next year. We owe much of our progress and success in basketball to outsiders who helped us in many ways, also to some of the boys of the P. H. S., and the members of the team greatly appreciate the attitude and intere.st they have taken. Also the faculty, who have greatly helped and en¬ couraged the girls. We have excellent material in onr team and intend next year to begin to play early in the season, and we are conlident that a good team will be developed. The en¬ thusiasm in the game is strikingly manifest among the players and is rapidly growing among others, and I hope by next season inter¬ est in the game will be thoroughly awakened. T. B. vS. A Heart to Heart Talk with the Pupils of the High School by an ex-Member. Boys and girls of the High vSchool rouse up. Instill some college spirit into your work both indoors and outdoors. Increase the member¬ ship of your school by going to ont.side districts and impressing upon those pupils graduating, the necessity of higher education. It can be done. Why not do it ? We have a city and surrounding country which should send at lea.st one hundred and possibly one hundred and fifty pupils to our High School, whereas we have but seventy or eighty. By interviewing those graduating from the country schools, more and better athletes may be secured. Other schools do this, and year after year their member.ship increases, while that of our own High vSchool remains station¬ ery. A spirit of apathy seems to pervade over the pupils of our school. We have as good a .set of athletes as can l e found in any other high school, but they never exert themselves to bring to victory that dear old purple and white. This year wdiat did our athletes do? Practi¬ cally nothing, making a total of only four points. Now let us .see if we cannot find a way to remedy this. To my mind the cause is very plain and it is due to the fact that the boys did not attach sufficient importance to the field .sports to train carefully. We had a good high jumper who refused to practice. We had a good half-mile runner who got tired ami quit. We had some good hurdlers who refused to train. We had a good shot put¬ ter who failed to put. It is such things as these that keep our school at the bottom of ‘the ath¬ letic ladder of fame. Tet us see if this cannot be remedied next sea.son. If the boys show the proper .spirit there are a number of ex-graduates here who would be willing to help financially and other ways We can get the material and let us do it. Visit the country schools, impress upon the grad¬ uates’ mind the importance of a High vSchool education. Use all the eloquence and persua- .sive power you can muster, and then we can look for a great increa.se in the number of pupils in our High School. Then in succeeding years our athletes will be on lop and not on the bottom. Good Manners C ' lood manners, while they are the dress of a gentleman, do not determine, by any means, his character. Mere politene.ss can never be a substitute for a moral excellence, any more than you can tell what the heart of a tree is by .seeing the bark. Etiquette is .simply a sub- .stitute for good manners and is very often a big counterfeit. vSincerity is the highest quality of good manners. It don’t cost anything to say a kind word, and I it often helps a fellow out of a tight ])lace. Turning of the Tide. It was a hot summer day and the sun cast a shadow in front of Jim Wheeler’s little grocery store. A rickety old bench stood in the midst of this shadow and Jim, seeing the prospects of a cool hour, took his opportunity and sat down on the end of the bench, which creaked and squeaked under the strain. Jim was a shriveled up little man, who had barely a hair on his head, and wore dark glasses to protect his weak eyes. Over the hill came a rickety farm wagon, drawn by a pair of splendid black horses, driven b}’ Tom Hawkins, who used a board set across the bed of his wagon for a seat. Hawkins was an unusually large man, being over six feet four inches tall and of ma.ssive build. He had been a hero of the civil war and wore a little brown button on the lapel of his coat. “Jim,” said he, as he tied his horses to a hitching post, “I’ve got .something for you to do to-day.” “What is it.?” asked Jim, ‘‘do you want me to load a barrel of “Kagle” on that empty wagon of yours ?” “No,” replied Hawkins, sadly, “I shall never buy any more flour from you, Jim. I want you to do some writing. Get some paper and I will tell you all about it.” Jim brought a tablet of tissue paper, and the two men sat down on the bench, side by side. Hawkins laid his big hand on Jim’s shoulder. “Jim,” he said, “I am going to sell the farm. I’ve got to. It’s .so different up there .since Martha’s gone. I’m so lonesome that I can’t .stand it any longer. I have no one to take care of me any more, and as for hiring help, I can’t.” “Tliere was that Thompson boy we brought up. He was a good, honest boy, but he got the Western fever and he went to California to get rich, but I doubt that he succeeded. So there ain’t nothing to do but to sell the old farm at auction, and I want you to fix me out a bill that I can take up to Ru.ssell and have him talk it off. You understand such things and you know the farm. There it is,” he added, waving his hand toward the mountain side. Jim wiped two sympathetic tears from his I eyes, and opened his lips to protest against this desecration, but finally adjusted his glasses to the end of his nose and began to write. “What have you got there ?” a.sked Hawkins, after a few minutes of silence. Jim read aloud : i .AUCTION ! ' “The undersigned will .sell at Public I Auction, on—” I “Week from Saturday,” put in Hawkins. I “ Saturday, September 5th, ; HIS FARM, I long known as the Old West Hill place, j consisting of about 200 acres, well di- i vided in woodland,tillage and mowing.” “ Yes, sir,” said Hawkins, as he faced toward the farm, “it’s one of the best farms in the country. Thirty years ago Martha and I lived I there together, and there our little Loui.se died. ! vSeems as if I could see her running around in i the yard now, just as she used to.” ! “ Good farm buildings,” Jim read on, huskily, ! “ and never failing water at house or barn.” “ Guess there is,” said Hawkins, “.stream of i good size runnin’ there now. Well, try again, Jim. I don’t .seem to let you get ahead any.” “ Fine apple and pear orchards,” began Jim. ' “ There’s a hundred barrels of good apples in that orchard if there is one. I do hate to see others picking them.” “ AI.SO,” began Jim, once more, “ a great va¬ riety of household goods—” “That’s the worst of it all,” .said Hawkins, “ to think that all those things have to be piled up and .sold off. Even Martha’s things hang just where she left them, as though she was coinin’ back tomorrow.” Jim did not seem to be quite ready to go on with the reading, and just then a young man came around the corner, leading a little curly headed boy. He was thin and looked weary, but his face changed wonderfulh- as he caught sight of Hawkin’s sturdy figure. “ Uncle Tom !” he cried. Tom wheeled around and gazed at the new- comer for a moment. Then be grasped his hand with such tremendous force that it seemed to be in danger of dislocation. But the young man appeared to like it. “Horace Thompson!” exclaimed Tom, “ I thought you was out in California, and I never should see you again.” “No, uncle Tom,” said Horace, uneasily. “I guess Vermont is going to be good enough for me the rest of my days.” Then, as if anxious to change the subject, he asked quickly, “How is Aunt Martha ?” The old man’s lips quivered and he could not speak. He pointed to the hill where the white headstones gleamed through the maples, and lifted his hand toward the blue depths of the cloudless sky. The young man’s eyes filled with tears. “ I didn’t know it,” he said softly. And then, as if by common impulse, the two men walked away together and Jim retired behind his tablet. But it was not long before the wanderers re¬ turned. Hawkins marched along with the same swinging step that he had when he was a member of Company “ G,” and on his shoulder, riding royally, sat Horace Thompson’s little boy. “Hold on there I” roared the farmer. “You needn’t finish that bill. There ain’t a’goin to be any auction. Horace Thompson, he and his wife and little boy, they are going to keep house for me. Tear up that bill, Jim, and tell me what the damages are and we will soon straighten matters out.” “ Damage,” said Jim, with a tinge of sarcasm in his tones, “ You come into this store and we will look and see if we can find a bunch of raisins or somethin’ or other for that little fellow.” o.

Some Things to Find Out. 1. What became of the bell rope ? 2. Why two Junior boys have cea.sed to bring their lunch to school ? 3. Why rats were heard in the garret but once. 4. Why H S. students were the only ones to feel a series of earthquakes one Tuesday after¬ noon ? 5. Why a certain Junior is growing bald- headed ? 6. Why Edna rose ? 7. Why a Junior has a particular fondne.ss for precious stones ? 8. What became of all the exchanges ? 9. Why the Freshies are so anxious to have their names in the Enterprise ? 10. Why some of the girls prefer to dance in the lower hall ? 11. Why Allie and Lewis do not frequent the labratory any more ? For the Freshmen. Pre.sident Wheeler has written an article “For the Freshmen’’ which contains much of use to any student who wishes to make a success of college or school life. In order that all our students may be able to read it, the editors have thought it wise to reprint it in the Enterprise. Following is the article : “I beg to dedicate to the members of the Freshman class a few scraps from the note-book of my college experience. I think I have noticed that few men who force themselves into public attention in the early months of their college course prove to wear well in the college estimation. Do not push. The steady pressure of honest work is better adapted to the four years’ test. Do not try to be a “prominent man’’ for the first year. Prominence will take care of itself, in the sane, unerring judgment of student opinion. Porget as soon as possible the grandeur of your re cent estate as seniors in a high school and .settle down to be plain freshmen. Fall into line ; recognize the leadership in student affairs of the senior class ; bide your time ; you j will be .seniors .some day if all goes well. Though I my experience recommends to each of you I quietness, it dissuades from isolation and selfi.sh I individualism. Become a part of the organized i life of the university. Identify yourself with the active interests of the student body. Join the organization of the associated students. Ally yourself with .some organized activity, ath¬ letics, music, debating, religious work, journal¬ ism, dramatics. Be public spirited, be loyal to the college. I have noticed that men who succeed in life are trained men. Practical life wants men who can be relied upon. The brilliant, inspirational type is below par in the market. Work regu¬ larly. Take no cuts. Prepare ever3 ' exercise. Make yourself do things whether you like them or not. It is good practice. The first thing to get is a good grip on your own dear .self In regard to choice of studies, my experience leads me to advise you that the teacher is more important than the subject. Go where the work is most accurately and severely exacted. Go where the highest standards are maintained. In all probability it is now or never with you, and you cannot afford the risk of soft intellectual or moral fibre. Plan to be first-rate in something. Keep clean. Tell the truth, because it is true Do right, because it is right. Do each day’s work thoroughly, because it is duty. Have faith in more than you can see. Live for more than 3 ' ou can grasp.” Worth of Women. Honor to Woman ! To her it is given To garden the earth with the roses of heaven! All ble.ssed she linketh the loves in their choir.

COMMERCIAL, Commercial Class History. We as a class leave a history; not contain¬ ing any great events, records of any great bat¬ tles or wonderful discoveries, but in it are some of the events of our school life. When we entered the High School we were meek, mild and timid, and upon reading the course of study laid out for us, our foreheads became wrinkled with lines of care. But in spite of the dreary outlook we went to w ' ork and the two years soon fled. During the first year our class consisted of fifteen members, while tonight we are only a class of three—two girls and one boy. Let us first run over the names of those who, for various reasons, have left us : Kathryn Kamp, on account of ill health, was compelled to leave during the first term. She is still in town and has continued her stenog¬ raphy and typewriting with the present Fresh¬ man class. It is needless to say, Kathryn, you have been missed by us. Anita Dias also had to leave school because of ill health but is still residing in town. Katie Canfield is at present in one of the local dressmaking parlors. She was so very jolly that we missed her sadly this year. Carrie Burns left school during the first term as she had completed the studies she was taking. Carrie was always willing to help any one who was in trouble, and is missed very much when dancing is going on. Katy Fratny left us about the middle of the second term to reside in San Francisco. Ewell Cox left after the first term. Claude Hanson, Thomas White, Fred Zim¬ merman, Rudolph Peterson and Clayton Dean are still among the “ Freshies.” Joe Tuttle, or “ laughing Joe,” the torment of the class, is still with us, although he does not graduate with us tonight. He is always playing tricks on his classmates. Even the girls are not spared. He has a knack, so to speak, of getting out of every scrape he gets into, and when accused of anything he can look as inno¬ cent as a ” new born babe.” Joe has an especially ” sweet tooth” for candy and oranges and always treats the girls. Last year Joe was very shy and has continued (?) so this year. We are not aware of Joe’s future plans but suppose he will continue to live on the ” wild hills” of Chileno valley and embark in the stock (?) rais¬ ing business, especially that branch pertaining to the care of his neighbor’s p gs. We do not want our readers to think Joe is entirely bad, as he has a number of good qualities. He is nearly always on time and always has his lessons, al¬ though he says he never studies. We know better, as we can tell by his recitations. Now we come to our graduates. Our class orator, Ada M. Stone, is the favor¬ ite of the class. She makes new friends every day by her jolly ways and winning manner. She is a most studious body and always has her recitations in “ first-class order.” Ada is some¬ what of a poetess and often in her leisure (?) moments, an inspiration comes to her and then the way her pen flies is remarkable. Some of the trials of a certain young man of the class have been told in verse by this modest young poetess. If any joke is to be played, Ada is al¬ ways on hand to have a share in it, and if caught she endeavors to look innocent, but her laughing countenance gives her away. She has one of the happiest dispositions of any student in the P. H. S., and often when the room is very quiet her silvery laugh will ring out .so clear and strong that others are sometimes startled. There is one young (?) lady in the room, however, who does not seem to approve of Ada’s mirth, from the “looks” that are cast in her direction. Ada is nearly always the last to leave the room, and if anything is said she will say, “ We’ve more time than money,” and will take her time in coming. vShe will be missed next term by Mi.ss K., who is always wondering what Ada will do next. We next come to our only boy, Ellis Hart. Like Joe, at the beginning of school two years ago, Ellis was bashful and if the girls asked the loan of his knife it would be blusingly given. However, time works wonders. A remark¬ able change has come over him this year, and instead of being one of the most bashful boys in the class he has become a regular tor¬ ment. He delights to play tricks upon some poor, unsuspecting girl. Sometimes, however, he gets caught in his tricks and is punished by i having to remain in the room at recess. The | last time this occurred Ellis was sitting in one | of the windows, feet outside, when a certain ! young lady, accidently, of course, made him fall | out on the ground. Thus he was able to play at his favorite game, baseball. We must not only tell of his tricks, as Ellis has some very good qualities, fie is the most studious body of the class and always has a perfect recitation. He | is the only touch method typewriter in the j class. He has faithfully followed Mr. Harford’s directions in this line, and as a result has fine speed in typewriting, seldom making a mistake. Although Ellis lives seven miles from town he is .seldom late, which is more than can be said of some of the other members of the class. Taken all in all, Ellis is all right and will make his way in the world yet. ' h. Florence M. Hood is the mo.st diminutive body of our class, but we implore you not to judge from “quantity,” as she is our greatest mischief lover. vShe is our only vocalist, and often unconsciously favors us with a solo, which | “makes the world wonder.” But we are of the | opinion that she is rather selfivsh with her sweet ' soprano voice. Florence has mastered the art i of letter writing, and often in the stillne.ss of a j quiet (?) study period she is seen jotting down ! her thoughts with great rapidity. vShe has a wonderful vocabulary and we judge she accom¬ plished this by her constant stud} of the dic¬ tionary. “Flossy” takes all things as they come and this, her motto, “only one life to I live, and might as well enjoy that,” does not meet Mi.ss K’s approval. At times she is very studious, and “woe be to them” who interrupt her, for she has been seen to fly from her seat and hit a certain young man with tremendous j velocity. But we do not want our readers to be wrongly impressed with Florence, as she has numerous remarkable characteristics, and never fails in anything she undertakes, but always has a per¬ fect lesson. vShe is soon to leave us for her future home in Oakland, and her laughing eyes and jovial disposition, which have won for her numerous friends, will be sadly missed in the P. H. S. A. .s. - m - To the Graduates of the Commercial Class. I have been asked to say a few words to those graduating from the Commercial Department, and with whom I have been clo.sely associated during the past school year. Preaching is one thing and practice another, and perhaps we all know what to do if we could but be sure of doing j it. Still, I can repeat a few ever new old- i truths to you on this, the eve of your gradua- ! tion. We have advised and directed you always according to your best interests; now you must learu to adapt yourselves to conditions, to think for yourselves. From the Commercial Depart¬ ment you step into the Commercial World, from under the influence of sympathizing teach¬ ers to the harsh criticism of the world. You leave behind theory and enter upon practice. Your preparation has furni.shed you with the necessary tools for, perhaps, your life work. You have, or .should have, .some aim in life. The aimless man is the man who fails, for life is worth living to the one who has a purpose; who is working to attain some end. Life is ju.st what we make it, and if our ideals are true and noble, our actions will be worthy, and our actions crystalize finally into character, thus a purposeless life is a characterless life. You go out t o solve the meaning of life for yourselves. Success or failure await you, and to a great ex¬ tent you have the making of your life—either the one or the other. You have had the advan¬ tages of at least a common school education. In that respect your start has been better than some who have been denied that privilege, and yet through personal efforts have made successes of their lives. “ The fault is not in our starts, but in ourselves; that we are underlings,” after all. To say that “I had no opportunity” does not excuse you from making the best of what you have. Many of our most successful business men were not as well prepared to battle with life as you are. It was not through chance that they succeeded. It was through the hardest kind of work and steadfast application to the smallest detail of duty; a whatever-is-worth doing, is-worth-doing-well spirit. There is al¬ ways a place made for such a person. When Garfield applied for entrance to college penni¬ less, the president asked him what he was willing to do. “Anything,” was the answer, lo feel that any honorable work is below your dignity is the quickest and surest first step to failure. vStef out, then into the world w’ith a determination to succeed in whatever you un¬ dertake, and you cannot fail. Take with you as weapons against your worst enemy, “self.” Obedience. You have learned the rudiments of obedience in school, but more rigid are those imposed upon you by the commercial world. I recall to mind a very bright student who on entering his first position w as told by his employer to “never forget anything, and do everything I tell you.” He made that his motto, and is now a successful busi¬ ness man. Make it a habit never to go con¬ trary to the dictates of your superiors in the smallest details, then the larger and more im¬ portant ones will take care of themselves. Thoughtfulness. Untiring application to the interests of your employer, aw ake to every¬ thing that concerns him. You may conscien¬ tiously keep your employer’s books and type his daily correspondence, and yet thoughtlessly do many things that are to your own rather than his interests. It means going to work a few minutes before time, and offering to stay later if w’ork is pressing ; seeing what is to be done and doing it without being told, rather than hoping it will be forgotten. Cheerfulness. Remember that your emplo ’er has responsibilities that you can lighten by a cheerful application to your share of his labors. Do not allow your own affairs to make you ir¬ ritable in the discharge of your duties. To be pleasant costs nothing and brings its own re¬ ward. Lastly, make yourself generally so necessary ' a part of your employer’s business, so conver¬ sant with the matters entrusted to you, that he could not dispense with your services. In other words be interested in w hat interests your employer, center all your activities in what concerns him, be ready and willing at any and all times to perform cheerfully his commands, the matter of promotion then becomes only a question of time, and unawares you will derive untold benefits from your life of obedient, thoughtful, and cheerful activities. The good wishes of the Commercial Department go with you. E. R. K. Hard Luck. One of our Junior boys went to the library’ the other night. Now, this is nothing strange in itself, but F-d stayed too long in the lower hall, and on attempting to go home found the doors locked. It is not known what he said, as he was alone (?) but he lighted a match and started on a tour of inspection. All the doors were locked, but he found one win¬ dow open. From this point to the ground was a distance of fifteen feet, and as, b}- pensonal experience, he knew the ground was hard, he decided he must find another means of exit. He found a hovse and proceeded to make a patent fire escape. But on looking out of the witidow again what did he see but a shadow, which, on closer inspection, appeared to be a stairway. He got out of the building by this but found himself little better off, for there, right in front of him, was a high board fence. Now, when F-d w’as in the Grammar vSchool he was quite a climber, and it didn’t take long for him to get on the other side of the fence. These are simply details. If you want to know more, just ask him about it. He will be per¬ fectly charmed to relate it in full, we are sure. “ ’03.” Seemed Natural to Him. The two trains came together with an awful crash. Some one had blundered. That, how ' - ever, was a matter which would have to be left for future investigation. As soon as those who w ere uninjured could extricate themselves from the wreck, they turned manfully to the work of rescuing their less fortunate fellow-passengers. It was a sickening sight. Cars were heaped on top of one another. People w ere pinioned under seats, beams and trucks. Steam was hiss¬ ing from the overturned boilers, the rails of the track were w arped and torn loose from the ties, and the moans and cries of the injured could be heard afar off. Finally, after long, hard w’ork, the rescuers reached the bottom of the mass, where the legs and body of a man protruded from beneath a twisted platform. Beside him lay a cane, deco¬ rated with colored ribbons, and a long tin horn. Fearfully and anxiously a score of strong men lifted the weight from the head and shoulders of the prostrate one and carried him up the em¬ bankment. As they reached the higher level, he opened his eyes, passed a hand in front of them as if brushing away a film of some kind, and shouted: “Rah! rah! rah! Sizz, boom, ah ! Ki-yi! hip-hip, hoo-gah yah ! Come on, fellows ! Which side has the ball ? ’ Chicago Times-Herald. The News Dealer. ALWAYS HAS THE LATEST IN_- Stationery, Books, Music, Magazines.
