WALTER FOSTER Business Mgr. JOHN LAURITZEN FAREWELL. The Seniors, have, generally speaking, looked forward to com¬ mencement with regret, rather than pleasure. Now, after four years of study and constant friendship, we part, some to follow one vocation, some another We are loath to sep¬ arate, and it is with heavy hearts that we bid “farewell” to our teachers and schoolmates this evening. This word “farewell” is one often lightly uttered and readily forgotten; but, when it marks the completion of a chapter in life; when it means the parting of friends and teachers, it be¬ comes indeed, “the word that makes us linger.” But before we depart, let us not re¬ frain from pausing for a brief space to allow our memory to float back over the sea of our past school life. At times we have found it rough and stormy, but through strife and en¬ deavor we have at last triumphantly reached the shore. But this is not the end of our voyage. We see on the oth¬ er side a vast and mighty ocean, whose imperceivable breadth can only be overcome by our ambitions and hopes. We trust that these latter will be as guiding stars, directing our ship toward the ultimate goal of success. “New occasions teach new duties; We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower and steer boldly. Through the desperate winter sea.” NEWBURGH CO. The leading dry goods house of Petaluma. The latest novelties. EDITORIAL. By these columns we wish to thank sincerely the business men and wo¬ men of our city, for so kindly contrib¬ uting toward the success of our “En¬ terprise.” We have met with three or four refusals, such as, “No, it does not help my business,” but on the whole we have been very fortunate. Those who have contributed have done so not for mere selfish interests but to “help along the High School.” We will ask our readers to kindly look over the advertisements of this issue and see what business men and women are interested in the progress of our school and kindly give them a share of your patronage. “Books, we know. Are a substantial world, both pure and good. Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow.” A few months ago the pupils were honored by the presence of members of the G. A. R. and Woman ' s Relief Corps. It was, indeed, a pleasure as well as an instruction to be able to listen to the testimony of these chiv¬ alrous old men, whose every act has redounded to the splendor and glory of the American name. During the afternoon the W. R. C. presented the High School with a beautiful flag, the emblem not merely of the past, but of our latest victories, the triumph of a great nation. In expression of our deep appreciation and patriotism we have consigned it to the breezes, where it may float over our school in commemoration of the victories of peace and of war. We have had no difficulty in know¬ ing how to spend the money which has accumulated (?) in our treasury. Members of the Class of 1904: GENTS FURNISHING GOODS AT BARRY ' S. 7 Ko S ODsW x e far ADovk Members of the Cla s of 1904: A few days ago while crossing San Francisco Bay on one of the ferry boats I heard two High School stu¬ dents, of opposite sexes, talking about a young lady friend. The young wo¬ man asked: ' ‘Does Mollie still attend school?” “Yes,” was the reply. “Does she still get as good marks as ever?” “Yes.” “She must be awfully bright. Or, does she study hard?” “No,” replied the young man, “she never studies; it just comes to her.” The last remark is just what I ex¬ pected from the young man who made it. I was told several weeks ago by the principal of the school he attends that he will be graduated this month, but that he does not know what ser¬ ious study means. There is one great lesson which that young man must learn before he can amount to any¬ thing—that hard work is essential to success. I hope the members of the class of 1904 have learned that even genius is not a substitute for hard work. The belief that success will “just come” to a person is one of the most dan¬ gerous fallacies. I know of nothing that “just comes” to a man in this world but microbes. If he does not realize their presence and exert him¬ self he will die before his time. Just to the extent that he realizes the need of action will he defeat the purpose of the enemies which have attached him. They can be thrown off only by strenuous exertion on his part. The fallacy that desirable things “just come” to a person will expose the brain also to an attack of the deadly microbe. You have read in the college items in the daily papers of the result of such an attack. Per¬ haps you have seen it in the High School. I have. Short roads to learning have been followed, easy methods of memorizing have been tried. But these are like the quack’s remedies which are advertised to “cure while you sleep.” They are gotten up to deceive. The disease goes on just the same and proves fatal in every case. And yet there is a cure. This brain-eating microbe may be driven off—by work, hard work. Too often work is looked upon as a curse. We have blamed all our ills upon poor Adam and Eve because they ate of the apple in the Garden of Eden. But the wisest men of to¬ day look upon that event as a fortu¬ nate one for the human race, and consider Adam and Eve as benefac¬ tors. Work is a blessing. It is the only thing that stands between the human race and death—mental, mor¬ al and physical. Never be ashamed to be seen in your working clothes. Men or women who do not work be¬ come degenerates. You will meet them every day, though oftener in so-called high society than in the humble walks of life. Playing chess or dominoes or any other sim¬ ple game is a good way to spend an hour pleasantly, but the person who does nothing else is losing his grip. He is the least important member of society and the world can get along without him. He bears the sure mark of decay. Many students merely work up to the point of satisfying the require¬ ment for a passing grade. They are like the class of workmen who feel that they have done their duty if they have earned their wages, no matter what their power of production may be. Such a spirit is always danger¬ ous. You will be overpaid no matter how small your salary if you fail to do your best. In your practical work in the world you may go along smoothly, holding your position by mere ly earning your wages. But the world is looking for the man who does not limit his output to fit his sal¬ ary. In the end that work pays best which promises no immediate return. Your services may be worth twice the salary you receive but you owe it, first, to yourself, and, next, to the world to work up to your highest pos¬ sibilities. It will save you from de¬ cay. As a last word to the class of 1904, let me repeat the universal truth that nothing in this world counts for so much as hard work. It has no substi¬ tute. Things to be desired don’t “just come” to us. The highest genius is capacity for work. Mollie’s gentleman friend on the ferry-boat was wrong, and he will not need to live long to find out his mistake. JAMES FERGUSON. CXass $04 By MISS MAE PURVINE. The class of 1904 upon entering the High School, numbered about nine¬ teen, but now upon this eventful day, the honor of graduation comes to only thirteen. Some have been enticed from study by the whirl of business, others by the charms of the country, and in one instance, the hand of Death struck down one of our sweet¬ est members, Agatha Erwin, who en¬ tered our class in January, 1901, and died in July, 1903. Ray Reynolds and Oliver Lafranchi have entered the business world. Mabel Carr is living with her parents west of town. Clara Ischer, who has been East for three years, has just recently returned to Petaluma. Naemi Raaf is attending the University of the Pacific at San Jose. Ottie Smith having graduated from Heald’s Business College is now a stenographer in San Francisco. Louise Wichman, who has been forc¬ ed to be absent for a year from school, will graduate in 1905. We enjoyed Lila Tomasini’s compa¬ ny, until last fall, but now she, as well as Ethel Healy and Vivian Evans are living at their respective homes in this city. Francis Mordecai, who attended the University of the Pacific, for a time, is also enjoying her coun¬ try home in Two Rock Valley. John Ivancovich is in Oakland. Thomas Atkinson is living in Santa Clara. Kostka Erwin is in a business house in San Francisco. Fortunately, the majority of our once promising class, have struggled to the finish and upheld the honor of “ ’04.” Lizzie Haran, although not enter¬ ing at the beginning of the term soon joined our jolly Freshman class and has accompanied us through our en¬ tire wandering. We have always found her a quiet, studious girl, will¬ ing to help anyone whom she could. Speaking of Miss Haran, suggests Ida Perinoni, Lizzie’s friend and compan¬ ion. Miss Perinoni entered the class in January, 1901, and has been a stu¬ dent of good standing, allowing no one to dictate to her and making her wishes quite generally known. Tonight is the second appearance of our class secretary and editor, Miss Ada M. Stone, who graduated from the commercial department in 1902, and returning has taken up the reg¬ ular High School course. A very 9 I clever girl in all her classes. Miss Stone is best known as a debater. The class will never forget the part she played in the Junior and Senior debate, and probably the Juniors will also remember it. Beside her oratory and high standing, Ada has endeared herself to her classmates, by her sweet disposition and winning ways. Another member po has also ap¬ peared before as a graduate of the above named department is Walter Poster, our Vice-President. Mr. Fos¬ ter has won applause and deserves great credit as manager of the ath¬ letic teams. As a student there are few better, and it is to be regretted that there are not more young gen¬ tlemen of his character to raise the standard of our school. We have one member who is at least wonderful. This is none other than Miss Genevieve Martinelli. Al¬ though a merry fun-loving young la¬ dy, Genevieve has accumulated an enormous number of credits, but cred¬ its do not come with fun to which we all can testify and I am sure the fac¬ ulty will be sorry to lose a young lady of Gene’s studious nature. Miss Mar¬ tinelli is also our trusted class treas¬ urer, but as incumbent of this office her duties have not greatly weighed upon her. From studious, serious natures, let us find a contrast, which is not diffi¬ cult for in the character of Miss Nelly T. Burns, the void is filled. Nelly is always ready for a good time and her daring nature has often lead her into dangerous paths, but her erring foot¬ steps have been invariably checked before any serious crisis developed. Nelly’s witticisms have enlivened many otherwise dull occasions. Study has always been the least of her trou¬ bles, nevertheless Miss Burns has held responsible positions, being at one time secretary of the literary so¬ ciety of the High School. Miss Emma Hyatt has been with us only two years, having previously at¬ tended the Hanford High School, about which we have occasionally heard. Miss Hyatt’s talents as a leader were soon recognized and she was elected class President. Emma is one of our cleverest girls, but is more partial to fun than books, of course, I mean text books. As a debater and actress she is also quite distinguished. Miss Hy¬ att has been quite successful in jour¬ nalism, for she published a semi-an¬ nual edition of the “Enterprise.” It is hoped that the coming Seniors will follow this excellent precedent. Of course you have all heard of our celebrated athlete, Martin Poehlmann, who, in the course of his career, has won two medals as a sprinter and as a full-back in football has given op¬ posing teams much difficulty. Martin is famous along other lines. As a de¬ bater, the class could not have suc¬ ceeded without him. As would be ex¬ pected in an athlete, he has always had a great aversion for study, but he has overcome this tendency to the degree that he graduates tonight. Martin is, also, something of a jour¬ nalist. You may find his columns in almost any “Examiner.” We have been glad to welcome Miss Ruby McGuire into our class. On ac¬ count of ill-health she could not grad¬ uate with the class of “1903,” with which she had entered, but their loss has been our gain. Ruby is very fond of fun and this has brought the stern eye of the instructor often upon her. However, we are glad to notice that is has had no serious effect. John Lauritzen, who has served as President of the Petaluma High School Literary Society, is, also, a member of our illustrious class. John, better known as “Jack,” has been a faithful trainer on the gridiron and an ardent follower of the cinder-path, but has invariably met with an accident which has frustrated his most ambit¬ ious hopes. In the business world Mr. Lauritzen must surely succeed as he has twice had experience as bus¬ iness manager of the “Enterprise.” Not to be forgotten is Ray Corliss, the prophet. Mr. Corliss is noted among his classmates for his broad knowledge of history and the number of books he has read. He has enter- 10 ed into all athletics, and when in com¬ pany with the manager, has kept the regulations exceedingly well. But Ray has one distinguishing feature which marks him above his classmaes, and that is his—height. In a year or so Mr. Corliss expects to finish his ed¬ ucation at college. Among the pleasant anticipations of graduation is the fact that our num¬ bers will be swelled by Allie Ander¬ son, whose gr eat affection for school has at last been overcome and his de¬ sire for more active life triumphed. Allie is one of the cleverest boys that Petaluma can boast of, but the old saying again holds true that the things which come easiest we fail to appreciate, and thus it has hitherto been with this youth’s studies. Al¬ though the terror of instructors, Allie is the life and wit of his friends, and those he leaves behind are sorry to see him graduate. The above history, which was writ¬ ten by Miss Mae Purvine is indeed a complimentary one. As she is a mem¬ ber of this happy class let us not fail to impress you with a few of her many virtues and characteristics. Mae’s untiring love of study has made her foremost in all her classes, not¬ withstanding the many months she was compelled to refrain from this favorite occupation. She is one of our best historians and her remarka¬ ble memory has many times relieved the class of an embarrassment. She is a quiet young lady and held in high esteem by the members of the facul¬ ty. We need not fear for Mae’s fu¬ ture, for whatever she undertakes we know will be successfully carried out. 5 ve Tower o £ u$ xa$e r Language is a tool mightier than the sword. The sword can only cut down, where language can build up. But languages is more than a tool. It is a force. It can produce order out of chaos, clearness out of ob¬ scurity, connected thought out of con¬ fused impressions. Through the pen of the poet it can charm the senses, inspire the soul, rest the mind, and harmonize discordant spirits. Through the press and the mouth of orato rs it sways multitudes and decides the pol¬ icies and destinies of nations. Through it the experience of individ¬ uals and nations are transmitted from generation to generation, from cen¬ tury to century. The nations are marked in their stage of civilization by the language they speak. Ancient Greece and Rome in their highest state of culture, each possessed a language so perfect in form and construction as to com¬ mand the admiration of the scholars of today. The modern civilized na¬ tions caring less for culture and more for gain, have languages less perfect in form, but more effective and better fitted to the needs of the people. The semi-civilized nations of the East have elaborate, cumbersome lan¬ guages that can scarcely be adapted to Western civilization; and the In¬ dians and other aborigines in their natural state use only a comparative¬ ly few elementary sounds. Improve your language and you will improve yourself. Be not content with what your mother taught you. It is a good beginning but there is more of it worth knowing. As the ax is burnished and sharpened on the grindstone, so can your mother tongue be polished and made more effective by the grind of studying foreign lan¬ guages. The contact with foreign ma¬ terial tests your metal; the contact I 11 ♦ ‘4t 1 with a foreign language tests your mother tongue. It reveals to you the weakness of your own speech, and teaches you how to amend or avoid them. It shows you the strong points of your own speech, and trains you to use them to better advantage. But most of all it trains you to find words for new ideas, and fit new ideas to words. The young people who neglect a chance to study because they be¬ grudge the time or dread the effort, are like the woodcutter who starts the day with a dull ax and cannot spare the time to grind it. When evening comes he is weary and worn, and has not accomplished half as much as his neighbor who took time to grind MARTIN SINGER. When Eve brought woe to all man kind, Old Adam called her woe-man.

It has made more real progress during the last few years than ever before in its history; a progress, due, in a large measures to the untiring efforts and wisdom of our present Principal, Mr. Ferguson. He has shown on more than one oc- erring judgment. In his supervision casion, under severe trials, his un- over our school he has always dis¬ played those qualities which make him a friend of all, an enemy of none. The Science and Mathematical de¬ partments were under the instruction of Professor E. P. Carey for the first half of the present term. His ability, together with the great interest that he took in his classes, made his de¬ parture deeply regretted both by the pupils and faculty. The vacancy made by Professor Carey was filled by Professor W. L. Foss, who came to us with the highest of recommendations. He is a man of sterling qualities, and great in¬ tellectual ability. We seldom leave his classroom without being impress¬ ed with some noble thought. Our German, Latin and Spanish courses have been under the super¬ vision of Professor Martin Singer, for the past two terms. He is well-versed in nearly all languages, and is one of the best instructors in this particular line of work that our school has ever possessed. He is a general favorite among our boys, encouraging and tak¬ ing part in all their sports. Miss Helen M. Perkins, our English instructor, although with us but a year, has, nevertheless, endeared her¬ self to all her pupils. As a teacher of the above named course, she has been a valuable addition to our fac¬ ulty. Her forgiving nature, and will¬ ingness to aid us in all our undertak¬ ings has been deeply appreciated. 12 Miss Edith R. Kurtz has had charge of the Commercial Department of our school for the past three years. Under her management it has made great success. She is held in the highest esteem by all her pupils. “Life alone in duty done. Rest alone in striving.” How the ? Mark Originated.

At the Senior entertainment last evening, it was indeed an ambitious effort to hold the attention of our aud¬ ience after they have been so highly entertained by the many (?) noted theatrical companies, which have ap¬ peared in our city recently. It was an act of great courage on the part of a few of our Seniors to rise before the public for you know that the cus¬ tomary habitat of these dignified peo¬ ple is in the schoolroom and not on the stage. But we imposed ourselves on the good will of the community, in order to relieve us from our financial embarassments arising out of Com¬ mencement night. We were indeed in a “perplexing situation We desire to thank our local talent and all others who so kindly aided us in the entertainment. 4 3V Loo o £ fcssow We were studying the Hermit-crab and it soon became evident to the least observing among us, that there was something wrong both in his character and construction. We had met, and had become fairly intimate with other members of his class and family. His surname was undoubt¬ edly Crustacea, and he was perhaps a distant relative of Mr. Crayfish, whom we knew very well. But Mr. Crayfish and all the other members of his class that we had ever studied, were the proud possessors of strong, well-built houses, which fitted them quite comfortably and which they car¬ ried with them where ever they went. But with our new acquaintance it was vastly different. We found him living in an old deserted house which was twice too large for him, and so heavy that he could not move it from the place where it now stood. Upon examination we learned that this house had been built by a Mr. Whelk, a prosperous and progressive relative of Mr. Hermit-Crab, who was now the worthy inhabitant of a much larger and handsomer dwelling. But why is our Hermit-Crab so dif¬ ferent from other members of his family? The story of his life is sad but instructive. It may be briefly told. His ancestors had often sought shelter and temporary lodging in just such deserted houses as our poor friend now occupies. They in this manner managed to avoid most of those battles and obstacles of life, the fighting and overcoming of which had, hitherto, made them brave and strong. They neglected to keep their own houses in repair, and whenever they traveled abroad, which soon be¬ came with them a rare occurrence, they depended for shelter upon the a a 13 out-house or cast-off shells of their more progressive relatives. We may thus understand the pitiable, half-nak¬ ed, sadly crippled condition of Mr. Hermit-Crab. We say crippled foi even his feet and legs have shriveled up and are fast disappearing be¬ cause no longer protected by shoes (which he has become too indolent to make) or strengthened by daily exer¬ cise. He seems to have lost all self- respect; comes out of his “borrowed” house only when forced by hunger and “flees when no enemy pursueth.” His history is indeed a sad one, but even that higher animal, which has been classified as “genus homo,” or man, may learn a valuable lesson therefrom. There is a law of nature which declares that “He who would live and prosper must work.” The “Lavr of use and disuse” is found throughout the life history of all liv¬ ing forms. Borrowed or inherited houses, easy and luxurious modes of living free from the battles and ob¬ stacles which surround us, all these are fast producing a species which has well been called the “Human Hermit-crab.” The half-naked and crippled wrecks which we see about us will be found to have a history in every way similar to that here re¬ corded. But let us not fail to observe that it is not the body only which needs to be kept in repair by constant use, but the mind, too, must have its work to do, its problems to solve. For instance, the reader may either glance over these words with a smile and with scarcely the effort of a thought, or he may earnestly meditate upon the lessons here conveyed, and may, perhaps, get some faint concep¬ tion of the great truth which Mr. John ' Fiske has expressed with so great a force in these words: “Our intel¬ lectual faculties, our tastes and preju¬ dices, our very loves and hates are strengthened by use or weakened by disuse, just as the blacksmith’s arm grows strong, or as the horse turn¬ ed out to pasture becomes unfit for service.” There is no punishment more awful, no reward more benefi- cient than that which shall come to that animal, be he man or crab, who disregards or obeys this simple, yet eternal truth.

With apologies to “The Passing of the Years.’ Marching onward, ever onward, like a serried host appears. With its slow and measured footsteps, the procession of the years. Looking far adown the ages, one un¬ broken line, we ken. Whither, whither do they journey? for they come not back again. On they go, across the river, silent river deep and wide. There its long procession halteth, marshalled on the other side. Waiting till the last one crosseth, till the angel by the shore. Shall proclaim in voice of trumpet tones, that “Time shall be no more.” Bach division is in order, for the dis¬ cipline is famed. Every regiment is numbered, every company is named. “Nineteen hundred three” has van¬ ished, with its blessings and its woe, “Nineteen hundred four” comes on¬ ward, pausing not for friend or foe. So they leave us; while they journey onward, whither shall we go. Leaving school by different path-ways where the end we do not know. Our literary meetings during the past year have been well attended by the public, and we greatly appreciate this interest shown in our school by the people of our city. The debates held are not only entertaining but instructive, and we hope that this es¬ tablished precedent will not be neg¬ lected next year. “Deep the oak, Must sink in stubborn earth its roots obscure That hopes to lift its branches to the sky.” A.

The burning sun beamed down upon a beautiful river, whereon a little old cumbrous, chugging steamer was winding its tortuous way, guided with infinite pains by its weazened old captain. At every turn, memories of the days gone by came to two of us who were nervously pacing the litter¬ ed deck. For here was Point Pedro with its John Chinaman fishermen tending their odorous shrimps and there was Lakeville with its miles of mud flats and now again as we round¬ ed a bend there loomed into view the long forgotten but familiar sight of the rock-crusher. To us the view was but a half-form¬ ed vision, for were we not returning from far distant Arabia to the town of our childhood? We two dusky knights of that sun-scorched land of the Bedouins, chieftains each of a thousand horses, graduates of the Petaluma High School, class of ’04, had traveled many thousands of miles in order to interview the world-re¬ nowned specialist, Dr. J. Walter Fos¬ ter, Ml D., with regard to a cure for the bite of an ostrich. This learned gentleman had earned his world-wide reputation by concocting uncertain ointments which, when applied to the exposed parts, acted as a coat of arm¬ or against the vengeful bite of the Petaluma fowl. My companion, Allie Anderson, had long been troubled by the ostrich’s at¬ tacking his bold cavalry. He had been forced to build a walled city from which neither he nor any of his men had ventured for more than five years. To make this trip Allie had es¬ caped from the city at the dead of night some two months previous. At the very thought of obtaining re¬ lief for himself and his suffering fol¬ lowers, he paced faster and faster as he neared the long-sought goal. Sud¬ denly his progress was arrested by a headlong measurement of the deck, caused by falling over a diminutive box. As I feared for the safety of the box, I picked it up before Allie had regained his sea legs. Imagine my surprise at seeing the well-remem¬ bered miserable scrawl of a former classmate of ours, one May Purvine, and what surprised me more, she still retained the old-time name—Purvine. As we were gingerly handling the box cigars or laces, the captain rushed and speculating as to whether it held up, white with fear and in a sobbing voice censured us for our careless¬ ness, saying in part that that old maid was particularly cranky about the condition of her returned ship¬ ping coops. Upon further question¬ ing we found that she was in the habit of shipping her chickens as soon as hatched from the incubator, as the danger from fire and rats at home was great. At this juncture the captain bellow¬ ed forth the magic word ' ‘Petaluma.” We were rushing down the gang plank when a burly form pushed us aside, and cried in a querulous voice, “Here captain, give me that half egg case of mine. You know my wife!” Allie said to me in an undertone as he gave me a rib-breaking nudge, “Bagdad! I do believe that’s old Lauritzen.” Sure enough it was, but it was plain to see that he dared not stop to talk with us, so we wonder- ingly followed in his wake. Around the curve we came to his “frau” who was impatiently nursing her wrath 16 as she held in check an antiquated donkey of a horse, hitched to a buggy in keeping with the same. We would never have recognized her but Jack said: “Don’t you remember your old classmates, of whom we have fre¬ quently spoken at home? We found ourselves greeting the popular Ida Perinoni of former days. She was in a great hurry but took time to tell us that her former chum Lizzie Haran was a missionary among the Hottentots of Africa. Anderson re¬ marked, in open mouthed amazement, that it was a wonder that they had not eaten Lizzie long before this, while in the same breath, he asked the old man if he had tried Foster’s reliable cure for baldness. John brought the whip down with a thud on the afore described horse and dashed away in a cloud of dust. We had barely left the Haystack ere we found ourselves in Petaluma, now extended and grown into a large and flourishing city. We boarded an electric car and in a few moments found ourselves at the Palace Hotel. The minute we had registered a handsome, middle-aged gentleman with his reporter’s pad, strolled over to us to make a note of the new ar¬ rivals for that day. There was some¬ thing familiar about him that remind¬ ed us of some former friend but be¬ fore “speculation had become at too great odds” he had taken out an eye¬ glass and after a long and seemingly satisfactory stare, walked leisurely to¬ ward us, diamonds, gold-headed cane, plug hat, Prince Albert coat and all. Extending his li ly-white hand in the most approved Parisian style he said: “Ah, allow me to welcome you home in behalf of Petaluma.” “Martin Poehlmann,” fairly gasped Allie. We were about to question him con¬ cerning some of the rest of our form¬ er classmates, as he seemed to have so much more time than poor hen¬ pecked Lauritzen, when to our un¬ bounded amazement, he suddenly turned upon his heel muttering some¬ thing about the “Courier” going to press and a wish to get in an item regarding our return. We were great¬ ly puzzled over his behavior until it suddenly dawned upon us that he was a reporter for the Courier. We were feeling positively disgust¬ ed when Allie suddenly remarked that he would give almost anything to see Gene once more and listen spell¬ bound as of yore to her ceaseless flow of news. As he remarked this, my eyes, which were aimlessly wan¬ dering over the professional cards displayed upon the walls, suddenly fell upon a neatly engraved card bear¬ ing the following suggestive inscrip¬ tion: Genevieve Martinelli, attor¬ ney at law. Divorce cases expedi¬ tiously attended to at bedrock prices. Upon inquiry we found that the of¬ fice of Genevieve Martinelli, attorney at law, was over Hop Sing Lee’s laundry. We hastened to that part of the city, clambered the creaking stairs with no small risk to our necks, knocked at the dilapidated door and were ushered into the pres¬ ence of the famous divorce lawyer, Martinelli. We found her half buried in legal-looking documents while her plate-glass spectacles were covered with a week’s dust. She was forced to remove the latter before being able to see us. She recognized us at once, greeted us warmly and of¬ fered us chairs. A few moments lat¬ er with her tongue loosed at both ends and running like a steam trip hammer, rattling off legal expressions and quotations from Vergil’s Ae- neid,” Genevieve was giving us the life history of several of our former classmates. We had not been in that law office ten minutes before we had learned all the particulars of the second divorce of Ada Stone and had also been in¬ formed of the fact that she was soon to embark upon the matrimonial sea for the fourth time as a third husband had just died a most natural death. Gene told us very confidentially that Ada made an exceedingly pretty wid¬ ow which accounted for the fact that Martin had chosen her in spite of her former ventures. Emma Hyatt was 17 found to have been teaching an un¬ graded school of five pupils for the past twenty-five years, among the sand hills of Bodega. She had con¬ scientiously drawn her salary at the end of every month and had soundly whipped her pupils at the end of each week. Emma had had many admirers and several years before had taken the final step and engaged herself to be married to a young man of great wealth. The wedding day drew near, the pupils were grief stricken, the very birds of the air hung their heads and wept, while solemn long-eared jackrabbits groaned at the very thought of losing their beloved Emma. But the worst was not to be. On the day of the wedding a beautiful day in June, as the strains of the wedding march came floating mistily through the air, a wild despairing cry broke from the lips of the bridegroom as he sank to the floor, never to rise again, struck down the doctor’s said by a love too great to bear. Gene went on to say that Emma had gone back to teaching and was living with her dearest friend. Ruby McGuire, now a grandmother. Ruby had married a farmer and was a typi¬ cal picture of a fleshy, good-natured farmer’s wife. At one time she had had musical aspirations, but has con¬ tented herself and exercised her tal¬ ent for the last thirty years in calling the fowls to their meals twice a day, year in and year out. The climax was reached when we were told that Nellie Burns had married an Italian count and was living in the height of luxury at Rome, envied by all the Italian beauties and the idol of all Rome because of her musical ability. Gene told us that the Countess Nel¬ lie had but just completed a tour of the world and was even at that time in the capital of France. It was at this juncture that Allie re¬ membered the object of our mission and asked of the renowned chicken doctor, Mr. Foster. We learned that he had long been troubled with some slight complaint and was in the habit of taking medicine at night as well as day to effect a speedy cure. One night he had gotten a bottle of his own medicine by mistake and taken it internally. The next morning he was found to be past recovery. He had left no formula for his sought-for ointment nor any of his stock on the market, and to make matters worse, had consumed the last drop of his own stock on that fatal night of his demise. A client entering the office, we wished Miss Martinelli a good after¬ noon, and boarded a city-bound train and took the first steamer for home, the home of the Bedouins, of Allie and me. EDITORIAL. We take this opportunity of ex¬ pressing our gratitude to our teachers who, by their constant efforts, have devoted heart and soul to enable us to attain the grand ideal of this class¬ ical department.

At the beginning of the term a set of officers and a committe were chosen by the school and have worked throughout the year in its behalf. At the beginning of the fall term track work was taken up and carried on throughout the dry weather. An inter-class field day was held and training gave place to football. Four games were played with outside schools and though the boys didn t win every game yet they did their best. The team of ’04-’05 was com¬ posed of Frank Shaver, Hamilton Farrell, John Lauritzen, Clyde Healy, Frank Haran, Ray Corliss, Martin Poehlmann, Marvin Clark, Thomas Caulfield and Walter Foster. After the spring rains were over track work was again taken up and carried on until thhe S. M. A. A. L. field day. The boys practiced dili¬ gently and when the day of the meet came we were able to enter twelve mien. When the field day was over we found that Petaluma had taken third place with Ukiah first and Santa Rosa second. Thus our record stands at the end of our term. Some might say that we have failed entirely, but such is not the case when we remem- ber that what may be called failures on our part may lead to redoubled energy and to success on the part of our successors. They may profit by what we leave behind us, as a result of this year’s efforts finds material and ideas. The school has not for years been equipped as well as it is now for car¬ rying on athletics, and if the boys keep up the interest that they have manifested this year, the old P. H. S. may again take first place in the S. M. A. A. L. The class of ’04 wish to announce its appreciation of the help and encouragement given them. J. W. F. ’04. BASKET BALL. The Basket Ball season of ’03 com¬ menced with the brightest prospects. Every one was enthusiastic, and the team was encouraged by public in¬ terest. A coach was engaged and practiced continued diligently. A challenge for a match game was received from the U. C. Freshmen, and accepted. The opposing team was met in Berkeley on the new Hearst Court. Score—U. C. 21; Peta¬ luma, 1. The next match game was played in Petaluma with the San Rafael 20 team. After an exciting contest the score stood, Petaluma 24, San Rafael, 16. Many other challenges have been received, but were not accepted be¬ cause satisfactory arrangements could not be made. The team wishes to extend special thanks to Miss Perkins for her many kindnesses. SoVies, Mae: Ally—Why don’t you put some of your drawings on the mar¬ ket. Ally—Oh: good work rarely sells.

Mr. Singer must have fal¬ len, too. “People don’t die very often in Pet¬ aluma, do they?” inquired a smart New Yorker. “No, only once” was the reply. DR. GEO. LOVEJOY Dentist.

Formerly a two years’ course was made compulsory on all entering our department. Now the course is completed in a year, and a student, who does satisfactory work In one or ail of the subjects offered by the Department is granted a Certi¬ ficate of Proficiency. For this reason our class, which numbered twenty- eight on entering, lost a majority of its members who preferred to do special work. Tonight they receive certifi¬ cates of Proficiency. Those mentioned below, and for the reasons given, drop¬ ped out of school: Florence Hall, tired of school, sought that which is more natural to her sex, home life. Aileen Currier’s deft fingers found more congenial work among the dain¬ ty laces and flowers of Easter cre¬ ations. Neva Lacque would have been with us this evening had not ill health pre¬ vented. Almost on the eve of gradu¬ ation she was compelled to leave us. Thus the Commercial Class lost a loving and able representative. Ottie Smith’s change of residence took from our midst another promis¬ ing student. Still she has done us full credit, and is now filling a respon¬ sible position in San Francisco. Janet Gowans resides with her par¬ ents in Napa. Susie Van Marter having finished work in bookkeeping is assisting her father. Stella Goodwin should be with us tonight had she not decided to con¬ tinue her studies in, and graduate from, the High School. Oscar Elphick, Orvis Elmore and Frank Haran are youthful members of the Farmers’ Association. Frank Hedges is attending school in Santa Rosa. Hans Lauritzen has a good position in Keig’s Shoe Store; while John Mc¬ Govern is studying pharmacy at May¬ nard’s drug store. Tony Baptista has a position in the Silk Mills. Eddy McHenry, the only boy who has remained with us through all our joys and sorrows, has disappointed us We were in hopes he would graduate tonight, but this being a “girl class” he decided to fall out. There remain now the members of the Commercial graduating class, the last representatives of the old Com¬ mercial Department. For two years we have struggled together, and to¬ night we must bid each other fond adieux. We have had many pleasant experiences during our school days that we shall always look back to with pleasure. Five classmates, Hattie, Alice, Mae, Emma and Lottie. To¬ gether a bundle of fun-making, frolic- ing girls; separately, earnest, pains¬ taking students. First there is Hattie. Although the youngest member of the class, she is one of the brightest, especially in Stenography. When we first entered she was very quiet, but as the days rolled by, she soon forgot her quiet¬ ness, and could play tricks on her poor innocent classmates as well as any one. Hat has a few passing jokes, and her funny sayings oft dispell the gloom of her seatmates. During the past two years, she has been neither absent nor tardy. For two months preceding graduation Hattie has been filling a position as Stenographer at the Petaluma Savings Bank. No doubt she will be missed by all, especially by Mae, her inseparable friend. Next comes Alice Graham, our fair- haired schoolmate, the most sedate girl in our class. She is very quiet and her pleasing .manner has made her a favorite with all. Alice is studious, and inten ds to return next term, and continue her work in the High School. After two years of study, we hope to see her graduate with honors in the class of ’06. Mae is very studious and stands among the brightest in her class. She is always willing to aid her less for¬ tunate friends, and ' by her winning ways, has won the esteem of all her schoolmates. We all know how Mae longed for the third period in the morning. It was amid the merry click of a dozen twpewriters that most of her innocent sport was started. One day Mae had a mishap. Her tie came undone, and it is needless to say, what a difficult matter it was to retie it without a mirror. We soon noticed her blushing, and on closer investiga¬ tion, found her tie had been fixed. The question arose, “Who tied Mae’s tie?” Echo answer ed, “C. N. C.” We will miss her when our school days are over, and wish her success in her undertakings through life. Lottie is the most dignified mem¬ ber of the class, hut by her quiet ways and winning manner she has become a general favorite among her school¬ mates. She is a very industrious girl and her record as a student is excel¬ lent. She lives several miles from town but rain or shine, Lottie is al¬ ways punctual to the minute, which is more than we can say of some of the other girls. Lottie will always make friends wherever she goes, for she has a loving disposition. Bright-eyed Emma is the mischiev¬ ous member of our class of five. She seems fairly bubbling over with mer¬ riment and her merry laugh greets us at morning, noon and night. She is ever ready to enter into any frolic with her classmates, and always takes a leading part. But we must not confine ourselves to Emma’s funny traits as her good qualities are as numerous. She takes great interest in her class, and is an earnest worker in its Jbehalf. She is one of our class debaters and has done much to win forensic honors for us. We are un¬ decided as to w.hat Emma expects to do after graduation. Something was said about going to Honolulu, but we are unable to say whether she intends to make that her future home or not. It would not be surprising, however, if a certain young man, who was here from the Islands, returned ere long, and—what then? That is left to your imagination. I have been requested to end this article with a few words to the grad¬ uates. You have been industrious, painstaking pupils and it is with pleasure that I commend you to the commercial world, for I feel that you are thoroughly equipped to take your place therein and fill it -satisfactorily. Only remember that your education does not end with your graduation to¬ night. Ever strive after knowledge, for only the acquisition of knowledge entirely satisfies. It’s attainment broadens one’s horizon and makes life both worth living and significant. Let the work you are prepared to do be a means to an end, and not the end it¬ self, otherwise all your efforts have been in vain. Realize that life means work, and that the best work is only done by those who have an aim in life, and who keep that aim steadily in view; that the greatest joy of all liv¬ ing is the rendering of intelligent ser¬ vice to the race. May success crown all your efforts. EDITH R. KURTZ. B. F. PHILLIPS Manufacturer and dealer in CIGARS-o General Grant and Puppies. AYERS McPHAIL Draying and General Transportation.
