Mildred Herbert Lillian Keller Percy Mills Mary Connolly Enid Dorroh THE SUICIDE T TON had resolved to die. He had pondered the matter long and carefully and deliber¬ ately arrived at the con¬ clusion that there was no longer sufficient rea¬ son for him to live. He had been out of work for five months, and, because he had never saved carefully, and also, because he had never received a great deal of money which could be saved, he was at the end of his funds. He had exactly five dollars, which would be sufficient to buy a good revolver and a box of shells, and after that—. He shrugged his shoulders. He would look again into the matter. Such a thing should not be done without the utmost attention being given to the pros and cons. Utton counted his money again. Just five dollars, enough to buy—. By a strong effort he concentrated his mind. His nerves were not as firm as they might be. He took a piece of paper from his pocket, upon which were written the names of the various firms which he had visited seeking employment, in the lost two months. Not one of them had oftered any hope of a position. There were so many bookkeepers in the world. He wondered if there were any besides himself who had only the price of a good revolver. He drew a deep breath. He must not become morbid. Committing suicide was a business matter as much as anything else and must be regarded in the same unim¬ passioned light. He rattled the loose change in his pocket. He was hungry. Perhaps there was enough to get him a good meal, still leaving the price of a good revolver; after that it wouldn’t mat¬ ter. It cost nothing to visit the morgue. Yes, he would have dinner before he died. He might as well satisfy his hunger for the last time. He h a d a notion that he could shoot straighter if he were not hungry. Utton took his hat from its nail, men paused. He would take a farewell look at his room. He had not fully decid¬ ed whether he would come back to his room to die, or go somewhere else. At any rate he would bid it goodbye. How sordid the room was! He did not under¬ stand how he had stood its squalor so long. The scarred furniture, the grimy unpapered walls, the little wood stove, that always smoked when troubled by a fire, the curtainless windows, what man could respect himself amid such surround¬ ings, when added thereto were the pangs of hunger and the monotony of idle exist¬ ence? Then his eye fell on his pipe, and he thought of better days, when he had bought it. It was a genuine meerschaum and he put it tenderly into his pock-et. Perhaps he would have enough to buy a little tobacco. He would see. He closed the door, no need to lock it. What should he do first? The revolver, that must be procured before all else. He went down the street and turned into a store. A very good weapon could be had for three dollars. He discussed the mer¬ its of black and smokeless powders with the salesman and decided on the lat¬ ter as being less noisy and of greater force. He put his purchases into his pocket and held them there tightly, gleefully. The tobacco dealer’s was next. Here an ounce of Peco-Laun was gotten and put into an¬ other pocket. Now for the dinner. He went to a retired little restaurant which he had known in his better days, and back into his favorite corner. He leisurely read the menu and ordered the things he liked best. After looking at his check he found that he still had some change, and with this he tipped the waiter. At the 19 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll desk he asked for and received a half doz¬ en matches. He would now consult his meerschaum for the last time. He re¬ membered a park not far away, with little odd nooks and corners, and thither he went. A retired spot, a couple of enjoyable smokes, and then the eternal rest. He smiled in anticipation. Utton sat for several minutes inhaling lungfuls of smoke. Then a robin alight¬ ed on the hard gravel path near him and began hunting for worms. Utton almost laughed aloud. The idea of the robin hunting worms on a gravel path in the heart of New York was sufficient to make even a man in Utton’s frame of mind smile. And such a specimen of a robiu! It was blind in one eye. Its tail feathers were partly gone. Its plumage was in a deplorable state. After looking at it for a couple of minute , Utton saw that two of its toes were missing. He caught himself thinking w r hat forlorn birds robins were judgin g all from this one. After perhaps 10 minutes futile search for worms, the rob¬ in shook its feathers, looked around, cock- its one good eye heavenwards, and broke into a cheerful chirping, its heart seem¬ ingly as glad as if it had been feeding up¬ on the most delicious of grubs. Then it was that something snapped in Utton’s brain, and a flood of ideas raced through his mind. Was he less brave than the robin? Simply because he was out of luck should hegive up? Was his search for employment less fruitful than the rob¬ in’s search for its meal on a New York gravel sidewalk? Say! Could he afford to face Providence? What did Utton do? Why, he resolved to try again, and succeeded and in later years he often thought of the robin and the lesson that it taught him, the old, old lesson of “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” L. B. Petaluma (Petaluma is the Indian w ' ord for little hills.) G land of little hills, the day Broods bright above; cloud shadows play With sunlight ’neath your tender skies; We w atch them with unnoting eyes, Heeding the things of every day. Is it because you smile alway, Living beneath your gentle sway Your beauties we so lightly prize, O land of little hills? When time has led our steps away I wonder if our thoughts will stray From sterner hours and harsher skies To wander with the spirit’s eyes. Where sunlight and cloud shadows play Among the little hill.?. E. E. 20 THE GIRL FROM TEXAS HE rickety old stage clattered down the hill and drew up in front of the typical mountain tavern, with its wide veranda, partly covered vvit.h vines, and a few s immer visitors seated on it, waiting for the mail. The driver leaped from his seat, but be¬ fore he could reach tue door of the coach, it was opened and a young girl, apparent¬ ly about sixteen years of age, with red hair braided in a thick braid down her back, jumped out. Her hat drooped, so those on the porch could not see her face, and she quickly turned to assist an elder¬ ly lady from the stage, paying no atten¬ tion to the driver, who stood beside her. The group on the porch was interested, for there had been no newcomers for two weeks, and a young girl would add new life and spirit to the party. As the two approached the veranda, the landlady appeared at the door and welcomed them in. As they walked up the steps, we, for I was among the party on the porch, caught a glimpse of the girl’s face. She was rather pretty, had a small face and dark eyes. Just after she had gone in the door a young man said “Fire,” in a low voice. Immediately the girl appeared at the ■door, her eyes flashing and said, “You—.” From inside we heard, “Come Molly,” and she turned quickly from the doorway and ran upstairs. One thing was settled; her name was Molly. Something else was started, but not settled; that was her character. Although no one said anything, every¬ one was anxiously awaiting the dinner horn; anxious because we wanted to see the newcomers again, and see if the girl would finish her sentence. The horn blew in time and it was not long before everyone was seated at the table, with the exception of the late ar¬ rivals. They were soon heard coming down the stairs and the impertinent Mr. Brown, looked rather worried. The two were in¬ troduced to us as Mrs. Norton and Miss Molly Cannon. They were assigned their seats, Molly having one directly opposite young Brown. As they took their seats Molly flashed a look of scorn at the young man across from her and he looked great¬ ly embarassed. A conversation was soon started and all felt perfectly at east. We learned that Molly was Mrs. Norton’s niece and that their home was in Texas. Molly livened the conversation with bits of humor or funny incidents, and the meal was spent pleasantly for all but one, for whenever young Brown tried to say something he became so flustrated by Molly’s scornful looks, that he would stop. After the meal, all adjourned to the parlor and Miss Molly was asked to play. She consented and Brown stepped forward to open the piano. Like a flash Molly was past him and at the piano, and opened it herself. The young man was certainly nonplussed, but no one felt sorry for him, for he had been rude that afternoon. Molly sat down to the piano looking very angry and struck a loud chord. She started playing loudly and ner aunt look¬ ed nervous. Gradually, however, her playing uecame softer and finally she was playing with much expression. During the evening, we planned to take a ride the next day, for the hotel was well supplied with good riding horses. Our new friends were very enthusiastic and claimed to be good riders. Molly proved 21 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll by several stories that she was a good rider. It was a merry party that started oft ' the next morning, for everyone seemed in the best of spirits. Poor Brown, however, looked as though he had not slept much, and I began to feel sorry for him, and wish he could have a chance to apologize. He addressed a few questions to Molly and she answered them, much to the sur¬ prise of all the company, and each time more graciously. I, who was riding with her could see mischief in her eye, and wondered greatly what she would do. We reached our destination, a tavern up in the mountains, shortly before noon. After having lunch we spent part of the afternoon there, and then left for home. We were to go a little way on the road on which we had come up, and then branch off in a longer way back to the hotel. On the way up, Molly had been very anxious to keep ahead, but on the return trip, she graciously consented to let Brown ride with her. I felt that some¬ thing w r ould happen, but was entirely in the dark as to what it would be. As we came to the crossroads, Molly said her girth w r as loose and young Brown quickly dismounted to fix it. Molly beg¬ ged us not to w ait so we rode on. As soon as we were out of sight, Molly gave Brown’s horse a cut with her whip and it started on a run down the shorter load, for home. Then Molly gave her own horse a touch, and with a scornful glance at Brown, left him. She soon caught up with us, and was asked where Brown was. “Oh,” she said, “he’s coming.” He did not come, however, and all were anxious and also curious. Mrs. Norton, however, did not seem to think anything of it, so nothing was said. Late that evening as we were sitting in the parlor, the door opened and Brown stood on the threshold. He was a sorry looking figure and we all realized that he had walked home. Molly, to our great surprise, walked over to him and held out her hand. ‘‘We are even, now,” she said. Then she told us w ' hat she had done. The second question was now settled. We knew quite well what Molly’s charact¬ er was. Geraldine Boothe, ’12. CUPID IN VASSAR This year something new was attempted in the line of dramatics in the High School. Instead of the customary play given by the Seniors for the benefit of the Enterprise, a musical comedy, ‘‘Cupid in assar, was produced. The play was managed by the Senior Class but the cast was chosen by the coach, Mr. Barry 1 ownsley, from the school after tryouts for the various roles had been held. In this way the best talent available in the school was selected. The play was a complete success, ar¬ tistically and financially. There were no delays, no prompting, and the whole af¬ fair went off with the snap and dash that is characteristic of a professional per¬ formance rather than of a production by amateurs. The leading roles called for portrayals of real human emotions rather more than in the ordinary farce-comedy anc these were taken with conviction and real delic¬ acy. The choruses, music and the stage pictures did much to add to the attract¬ iveness of the lines. The audience seem¬ ed to enjoy the comedy, and sympathize with the different tragic situations fully. The criticisms have been most favorable and congratulatory to the cast and the ooach. 22 PETALUMA SCHOOL SPIRIT NE after another all thru the long October morn¬ ing, the long, dust be¬ grimed excursion trains pulled up to the station, and out from each car piled a happy horde of boys and girls gay in their flaunting colors, waving pennants and wearing happy smiles. It was the typical field day crowd. Over at Kenilworth the huge grand¬ stand was filling to overflowing. The rooting sections were already getting into action and in quick staccato accents were promising dire calamities to all rivals. Tape in hand a half dozen boys were hustling up and down the track measur¬ ing distances, and tacking cards here and there upon the fence. Presently a defic¬ iency was discovered, one hurdle was missing. Burton, the Petaluma captain, was consulted and he recalled that one hurdle had been left out behind the High School, for practice at recess. Burton started across the field at a live¬ ly clip. Directly in his way was a board fence. Burton attempted to hurdle it and and when in the air he remembered that the fence was placed as a guard for an old well, not very deep, and dry at this time of the year. Burton crashed thru the rotten boards placed across the top of the well and landed unhurt but somewhat shaken in the bottom of the well. But let us leave Burton in his plight and return to the meet. And such a meet as it was! One aftar another old records passed into history, and new ones came to take their places. Old champions struggled bravely, and went down to de¬ feat before “phenominal dark horses.” But the real contest of the day was be¬ tween Petaluma and Santa Rosa High Schools. These two schools early outdis¬ tanced all competitors and each struggled spiritedly for the lead. But, one first place Petaluma was sure of. If they could only hold their own until the mile run the meet was theirs; for Captain Bur¬ ton at this distance was invincible. But where was Burton? “Burton! Burton! What’s the matter with Burton?” came from the Petaluma bleachers, followed by a buzz of inquiry. A half dozen searching parties detached themselves from the Pet¬ aluma rooters, but one after another these parties returned with no word of Burton. Finally a Santa Rosa boy chanced to stray a little way from the grandstand and heard a muffled cry for help. He di¬ rected his footsteps toward the old well and glanced in. Only glanced, for one glance was enough. Many a time had he seen Burton dash down the field and break the tape a full hundred yards in ad¬ vance of the nearest Santa Rosa man. He concluded that the old well was a good place for Burton for the present. Some “mean old thing” has said that woman is the root of all evil. In my story she is to be the root of some little good. The Santa Rosa boy walked jauntily over to the grandstand, a mysteriously happy smile upon his face. He clambered up in¬ to the Petaluma rooting section, and seak ed himself beside the “one girl,” who was the “one girl” even if she did go to Peta¬ luma High. Then after obtaining many promises not to tell he proceeded to un¬ burden himself of his great secret. The score boards announced P. H. S.—. 51; S. R. H. S.—51, and only the mile to run. The Santa Rosa section was wild. The Petaluma section was all confusion. ‘ Third and last call for the mile run,” tae 23 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll announcer bellowed thru the megaphone. Out upon the track a half dozen Petaluma boys were pleading with the clerk of the course. But alas, he too was from Santa Rosa. He couldn’t find anything in tho rules that said a race might be held for a contestant, who did not appear at third call. Up in the grandstand a purple and white bedecked girl tightly held on to the grandstand and answered in monosyl¬ lables the very engaging talk of the young man from Santa Rosa. “Come on your mark!” the long row of white clad figures waiting for the pistol. Then the Petalu¬ ma girl suddenly discovered that she had a great thirst. The ever obliging Santa Rosa boy dashed under the grandstand hoping to get a bottle of soda water and be back by the time the race started. The Petaluma girl waited until he was out of sight. Then she dashed down and said a few hasty words to the Petaluma yell leader, “Burton is in the old well!” The news spread like wild fi re thru the grandstand. The starter paused with his pistol in the air. In ten seconds every person in the grandstand was crowding about the old well. Of course Burton won the mile. How could he lose, w ' hen everyone in th ? grandstand (except a few from Santa Rosa,) w as rooting for him. They carried him off the field on their shoulders while the Petaluma yell leader was busy ex¬ plaining to a young man from Santa Rosa how he just happened to hear a muffled cry for help coming from the old well, and recognized it as Burton’s voice. Harry Brown. Our New Teacher When we returned to high school, .After our vacation day, We found our dear Miss Perkins, Had left and gone away. So the board of education, A substitute did find, In Miss de Laguna, A miss of learned mind. With Latin derivations. She kept our brain awhirl; In Botany Charlotte couldn’t see the question, And didn’t know w’hat to do; So she tipped her chair far over, Just to get a better view. But the chair kept on tipping. Tipping, slipping, sliding o’er; Till with a crash res unding, She did land upon the floor, And introduced us to the dictionary, As a very precious pearl. Five weeks she lingered with us, lill in Greek and Latin we were learned; But Alas! our Senior English, I fear was sadly spurned. But now we are quite happy, Because a teacher has been found; Who instead of ancient languages, Teaches English clear and sound. Examination Or did the floor hit her? Whichever of the two it was, It did make quite a stir. Then with a f ace quite crimson, She sprang quickly to her feet; With tingling ears and aching limbs, She silently took her seat. 24 SPEEDO - RAYMAKER ,S d a e s y S v 5 a d e 3 d 1 ACT I.

Brown: Huh? (writing busily). Mills: Do you know what you are try¬ ing to make? Brow r n: No. Mills: Say, Brown, wrhat in the dick¬ ens are you so grouchy about? Browrn: (in an aggrieved tone): Mills, you seem to like chemistry. Isn’t it bad enough to have to labor two periods a day with dope like this without having to stay an hour after school, when we ought to be out training for the A. A. L. indoor meet? (disgustedly) O, ginger! (They work in silence.) Mills: Say, Brown, do you think the Athenians at the time of Pericles were more civilized than the most advanced na¬ tions of today? Brown: (writing busily): Huh? Mills: (Repeats question very dis¬ tinctly.) Brown: I don’t know. For the love of Mike, let me alone, will you! Mills: They had better athletes. Brown: (with interest): No siree, they didn’t. Look-a-here. It took that guy four hours and tw r enty-three minute to run a Marathon. I could beat that my¬ self. They never even dreamt of pole- vaults or hurdles, and as for sprinters they didn’t have any, why they couldn’t even beat “Babe Adams.’’ Mills: But, Brown—! Brown: Oh, go on, you can’t talk to me; they didn’t even have spiked shoes. Why, they were as bad as Brunson, they didn’t even have track suits. Is that civil¬ ization? (Both work at chemistry.) Mills: The Greeks invented chemistry, didn’t they? Brown: Did they? I thought Miss Daniels did. Mills: Did you hear what Mr. Singer said about that dope they used to have, but lost the recipe for making? Brown: What dope? Mills: That stuff that Pericles invent¬ ed to put on balky mules. All you had to do was to put it on a thing and, gee, how it would go. Brown: Oh, shut up. Mills: Low in the dickens am I to do this unless I can find theH O. Brown: What’s H O? 2 Mills: That’s what I don’t know. 1 can’t find it. Brown: Why don’t you put this dope in? Mills: Ail right. I’ll put this in, too. Brown: Try this. PHS6 Mills: All right give me that stuff over there. (They put in bottle after bottle, grow¬ ing more and more excited. Mills grabs a stick and stirs contents of bowl. Lay3 stick down and it begins to move.) Mills: Look at that stick. Brown: Gee. (They both stare. Mills runs after stick, brings it back and lays it down.) Mills: (examining stick): Now what the dickens do you suppose is the matter with that stick? Foot note: This play was written and presented by members of the school. 5 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE E ' ll Brown: Maybe it’s that miscellaneous brew we‘re mixing. Mills: By gum, I’m going to find out. (Splashes some on the chairs with a stick. The chairs move. ) Brown: It is; it is. By Jove, but we’re some inventors. Mills: I’ll bet it’s the same dope that Pericles used on his mule. Say, what shall we name it? Brown: Let’s call it Speedo-Raymaker, he’s always drinking the rub down. Mills: (cautiously approaches the mix¬ ture and holds a dipperful aloft) Say, I wonder if it will work on mules. Brown, I’ll try it on you. (Throws it on Brown who rushes off R.) Mills: Three cheers for us. That’s the stuff. We’ve found the dope that Per¬ icles discovered. Oh, but we’re some. Curtain. ACT II. (Brown, Mills, Raymaker and Brunson in the dressing room. Brunson: Is this our dressing-room? Mills: Oh, what a joint for a dressing- room. Brown: Is this a fit place to house the future champion track team of the west? Can we condescend to dress in this lowly portion of the Auditorium annex? Here Brunson, sit on this suitcase before it runs away with itself. Where’s that boob of a freshman, Adams? Mills: I don’t know. We left him over on Market street rubbering in at the show-windows. We tried to bring him along with us, but every time he saw a building more than six stories high he had to turn around and rubber and he’d say,“ Gee, ain’t that a whopper?” and then someone would bump into him and Adams would turn around to see who it was, and then someone else would hit him. Adams wasn’t making any progress along Market street and besides he was queering the bunch, so we dropped him. Brown: Gee, if Adams doesn’t get here we’re out of five points, you know, with Speedo-Raymaker he’s just as valu¬ able as anyone. We’ve got 15 minutes be¬ fore the race I guess I’ll go look for him before the race. (Brown rushes off and runs into Adams just entering with his arms full of bun¬ dles.) Brown: Hully gee, fresh, what have you got there? Adams: Oh, here you are, I had an awful time finding you. Just look at all the stuff I bought. I’m going to take it all home to Petaluma. I’m going to make some money when I get home. Brown: How? Adams: Oh, just look at this great big chunk of gold a fellow sold me for six-bits. He said it would be worth $7,- 000 anywhere. The only reason the guy sold to me was because he couldn’t get it changed into ready money here in San Francisco and he had to have money to pay his carfare to Emeryville tonight or else his old dad would disinherit him. (They all laugh.) Brunson: Give me that brick, Fresh. Adams: I’m afraid to trust you with it. Brunson: Give it to me, I say. (Adams meekly hands over the brick. Brunson examines it and breaks it in two.) Raymaker: Who did you think that guy was, Santa Claus? Adams: O my, I thought it was gold. Raymaker: O you poor boob. Brown: Oh, don’t josh him, fellows. What can you expect of a freshman? Mills: Gee Whillikens! What ' s this bottle? Adams: It’s for the chickens. The guy said it would make chickens lay two eggs every day. I got tha t bottle for fifty cents. (Raymaker reads name.) Brown: Ditch that junk, will you? Here come the Lowell fellows; it will queer the whole bunch. P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ! U (They proceed to hide things while Adams protests. They put Speedo and cnicken medicine in the same suit case.) Enter Street, Potter and Young of Lowell. (General business of handshak¬ ing.) Potter: Well, Mills, what do you fel¬ lows expect to do tonight? Mills: Just wait awhile and see. W-at are your chances of making a good show¬ ing? Potter: Rum. Young here, is our best sprinter and he has been making poor time. The other men haven’t been com¬ ing up to Young. Brown: Have you boys had mucii training? Potter: Some of us trained for a whole week an- we had one tryout but most of tnem only trained two evenings. Brown: That ' s w r orse than we’ve done. What is the cause of all this? Potter: The fellows thought they did¬ n ' t have any show to get out a good track team so they put in their time on foot¬ ball. Brown: Makes it nice for the track captain, doesn’t it? Potter: The captain can’t crab when he has been playing football himself in¬ stead of training. Mills: Then you don’t expect to win tonight? Potter: I should say not. If we don’t get last we will be lucky. (First call for Fifty yard dash.) Potter: Well, so long, Petaluma. We’ll meet you on the track. Mills and Brown: Goodbye, fellows. Mills: Come, Brown, let’s watch these fellows limber up. (Cross to track.) That Lowell man has a good stride but watch him get his from Anderson and Adams in the sprints. Brown: Sure with Speedo-Raymaker they can’t be beat. Mills: No. (Suit case moves, Young stares.) Brown: It’s the greatest invention of the age. It would make a speed marvel of the oldest inhabitant of Penngrove. Mills: Where is it. Brown: Over there in my suitcase. Young: (Aside) I see a chance for Lowell. (Takes bottle from his own suit case, pours Speedo. into bottle, and pours Cul¬ pepper’s Chicken Condiment into Speedo. bottle. Exit.) Mills: Say, won’t we spring a surprise on this bunch down here. (Last call for fifty.) Ah, there’s the last call for the fifty. The meet will soon be on. WelJ, Brown, (shakes hands with Brown) here’s where Petaluma wins a field meet. Curtain. ACT III. (Mills and Brown from Petaluma, Young and Potter of Lowell, and Lee of Mission limbering up. Rest of Petaluma team cheering on the side lines.) Starter: All out for the mile! All milers out! Here, you fellows, take your places. Young, 1, Mills, 2, Potter, 3, Lee, 4, Brown, 5. Now, remember, youse fel¬ lows, the foist guy that sneaks gets penal¬ ized five yards. Mills: You, Young, quit your crowd¬ ing. Here, starter, watch this man. Starter: Say, what’s the matter with you Lowell guys? Can’t you keep still? (Two false starts.) All: Hurrah! They’re off, etc. Adams: O, gee. Look at those Low¬ ell fellows go. Raymaker. Look at old Potter take the lead. He’s the man they said couldn’t run at all. Look at him streak it out now. Brunson: Believe me he has to. Young and Lee are right on his heels and gaining every minute. Weston: I thought the Lowell fellows said they couldn’t run. Look at Young take the turn; he’s ahead of Potter now. 27 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ' 1 i Brunson: Yes, but look at Brown and Mills, they are gaining. Look! Look! They are up with them. There, there’s stia a chance for us to make a few points anyway. Ray: You bet there is, it’s up to Brown and Mills to bring home the bacon. (Runners cross the stage.) Brunson: Gee, that was a pretty spurt. Ray: Yes, but they are all in. That spurt killed them off. Adams: There, that’s our last chance gone. Ray: Yes; our chances are about pickled and put on ice. Brunson: Oh what a surprise this meet has turned out to be. Ray: Yes, but instead of us doing the surprising it’s that despised Lowell bunch. (Runners cross stage.) Weston: Yes, it looks almost as if they were the ones who had Speedo-Ray- maker instead of us. Ray: That Speedo-Raymaker certainly hasn’t been working much tonight. Be¬ fore, when I used it my legs fairly ran away with me, but tonight it didn’t help at all. Brunson: Say, fellows, it seems to me that Speedo didn’t smell the same as usu¬ al tonight. I wo n d e r—(walks to suit case, takes out bottle, sniffs it and holds it up. Yells.) Hey, come here, you fellows. See, here’s what’s the matter. Lowell has been using our Speedo and we have been using Cul¬ pepper’s Chicken Condiment! Weston: O, piffle! Ray: O, for the love of Mike! Brunson: Now wouldn’t that get your angora! Adams: O, gee! you fellows went and used up all my chicken medicine. I wanted that for— Weston: Shut up! We’ll fix you after the meet. It’s all your fault. You brought this stuff in here. Adams: But the fellow said— Weston: I don’t care what he said. You shut up! Ray: He must have seen you coming. Fresh! Brunson: Here come the fellows. MilJs and Brunson are about a mile be¬ hind. Starter: Here hold the end of this string, one of you fellows. (Runners finish, Mills and Brown last.) Ray: Say, fellows, everything has turned out rotten. We haven’t made a single point, but let’s not cry over spilt milk; we’re going to have a high old time before we go home. Brunson: Sure, cheer up, fellows, let ' s show them that we know how to lose as well as win. Let’s give them whiskity. Ray: Aw, let’s sing Boo a Boola. Adams: Sure that’s the dope. Weston: You bet. Ray: Come on, starter, come on you Lowell fellows and join us in our little song. All right, now, all together. (First verse of Boola Song. Curtain. «=§ = =§ =► =§ = 28 P. H. o. ENTERPRISE ' ll A CHARACTER SKETCH ACK came to visit us, to to oui dismay. He was about eight years old, was red headed and very lively. He came in just as we were sitting down to lunch, having walked up from his aunt’s. “Hello, Grandma,” he shouted, opening the door and rushing into the dining¬ room, “I’m going to visit you for two weeks. Arn’t you glad?” His grandmother smiled back at him, and was about to reply, when— “Say, I’m hungry,” he said, eyeing the table. “Well, run and wash your face and come to lunch,” she answered, picking his hat up from the floor. Jack soon returned with the dirt smear¬ ed over his face and his hair plastered down on his forehead, but he thought he was clean so she let him sit down. He climbed into my chair, looked about the table, passed his plate and said, “I’ll take some chicken.” “Those are chops,” explained his grand¬ mother patiently, “Will you have one?” “Two of ’em”, he answered; and so it went. He would not drink milk and when he got cocoa he spilled it on the table¬ cloth and in his desert, which he straight¬ way refused to eat, but took an orange and left the table to “see the place,” as he said. A few minutes later he went dashing by the window chasing the cat and throw¬ ing stones in all directions. Grandmother called and he immediately became inter¬ ested in the flowers assuming such an an¬ gelic expression we thought he was going to be good. But no,—he quarreled with the neighbor’s children and frankly told the mother, who came to their rescue, he would “fight ’em both with one hand.” I endeavored to get him interested in some¬ thing nice and quiet and went to hunt for some chalk for the little blackboard, but hen I returned he had the cat, which had evidently been held under the faucet, and was cutting its hair. I rescued the cat, but when Jack’s grandmother saw it sun¬ ning itself shortly afterwards, the sight convinced her, then and there, that it would be impossible for Jack to stay a moment longer, so she dragged him from the strawberry patch, where he had gone, while I was being questioned as to the cat’s health, and sent him back to his Aunt’s.

A DARING BURGLARY ENTERPRISE OFFICE ENTERED SAFE OPENED EVERYTHING GONE N Tuesday night, April 25, 1911, the Enter¬ prise office was broken into by burglars, and the safe opened and all of the contents taken. The police were noti¬ fied as soon as the Office Boy arrived in the morning. This was not the first time the office had been entered and property removed. The news spread rapidly de¬ spite strenuous efforts to prevent the con¬ ditions being known. One of the oldest and shrewdest detectives on the force was detailed to conduct a rigid investigation and he set to work immediately. The “safe” consisted of a door w ith two hinges and fastened with a padlock, all of which were on the outside. Said door was put in between two shelves and en¬ closed a large, roomy space. The sleuth’s quick eye detected that the entire door was gone. “Since the door was locked last night,” he said, “and has been taken away it is quite evident that some one had a key to it. The hinges have been removed with the aid of some dull-pointed instru¬ ment such as a hatchet, or perhaps a screw driver. The lock and hinges being removed it was then a simple matter to take off the door and gain access to the ‘safe.’ The robbers are not here, so they must have escaped before I came. I will report my findings to the Chief at once.” When the Editor arrived he was told of the progress made in the case and promptly confirmed the conclusions of the detective. “But I wms ahead of the detective,” said the Editor. “I did a little work on the case myself last evening. I feared something of the kind for it has happen¬ ed every year and manuscripts have been stolen and much inconvenience caused. So last night I kept watch and can tell you a few things. “I hid myself beneath the table there just back of the waste backet and waited the coming of the intruders. I was sure they would be on hand. Just as the town clock struck two I heard light foot-falls in the lower hall. The robbers came pre¬ pared for vxie worst. Each one carried all the equipment of the dread heroes of yellow backed literature. They were the real, original trouble-hunters! Casting the light from their dark lanterns into all the corners to see if anyone should be awaiting their coming, and deciding that everything was safe, they cautiously climbed the stairs and entered the Enter¬ prise office. “They knew their work and proceeded with great caution but with certainty to the task. In less than ten seconds they v T ere at work at the ‘safe.’ With marvel¬ ous ease mey fell to work on the hinges, W ' hich they quickly removed with the Jan¬ itor’s screw-driver. Having removed the hinges it was an easy thing to swing the door out of place, wrench it off and re¬ move it. It was all done in a moment’s time. They opened their suit cases to stow away the treasure of the ‘safe’. But— “You see, I had anticipated just such an event and had taken all the papers home and had them safely locked in my trunk. Nothing is lost. You may all go back to work. All that the robbers found is that big sign I prepared and posted up at the back of the safe for the robbers to read when they got the door open. It is not pretty but it meant a lot to them: STUNG! A. B.

EthYl Cannon Enid Dorroh Percy MillS MildrEd Herbert Irene HaraN Lillian Keller Clifford Allen MaRy Connolly Will LoftuS The Field Day of 1910 The Sub-league of the A. A. L. a Field Day wished to hold; So the secretary asked all the schools, The following questions, bold. “Would you like to hold the meet, In your town this time?” nd if so w r ould it be possible. To board visiting athletes for a time?” The other schools all answered “NO” But we, around the bush did beat; And so it was decided, soon, In Petaluma to hold the meet. So when the Field Day did arrive, Our rooters went in numbers grand; And when the first event came off, They yelled to beat the band. “Why did they yell so lustily?” I just heard someone ask; “Well,” ’twas because our Fitzie, Did win that 50 yard dash. Then just a short time after this. Fat” yelled, “Three cheers for Brown,” Because in the 880 run, He held the first place down. Then Raymaker, Walters and Hyatt, Did limber up their joints; And all of them succeeded In getting second or third place points. Soon over the rooters’ faces. Came many a happy smile; As Percy came across the tape. With the first place in the mile. And the smiles kept on expanding. When Smith appeared in the race; For then it was a certainty That in the mile, two men would place. Then Millard in the high jump, And the team in the relay; All helped to make us justly proud. Of this third Semi-Annual Field Day. 32 F. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll rnents would increase. This year Kenil¬ worth Park was secured but this is quite a distance from the school and much valu¬ able time was lost in going to and fro. There are many odd moments which might be well employed if the track were on the school grounds. Tt should also be possible for the school to have a gymnasium in connection with athletics. Gymnasium work is very es¬ sential to good training and a gymnasium with a competent instructor would be one of the finest things in the promotion of athletic spirit. The High School building should be one which people would be proud to show to visitors but what resident of Petaluma would be proud to take a friend to look at our present school, with its old style, its cracked paint and the bleak surround¬ ing grounds? Upon entering the build¬ ing the eye cannot fail to notice the lack of accommodations. On each side of the present building we have what are called fire escapes but which might better be called fire traps for they are built of wood and are so extreme¬ ly s t e e p that in the excitement which would be sure to follow an outbreak oi fire, there w r ould be such a jam on the fire escapes that many would be thrown down and there would be fearful fatalities which might easily have been prevented by the erection of a modern building with modern equipment for the safety of the students. The grounds about the new High School building should be laid out with lawns and gardens in front so that a visitor would be impressed with the appearance- of the building. The interior of the building should leave an impression in harmony with that obtained from the out¬ side. Large and roomy classrooms; up-to- date laboratories with modern appliances and a Commercial Department with the typewriting room situated so that its clat¬ ter would not interrupt recitations. There are also several more appliances which should be included in the Commercial De¬ partment. There should be a large draw¬ ing room where the models might be left without danger of being disturbed. The Music class should have a special room for drill. There are probably many of the tax¬ payers of Petaluma who do not realize the necessity of a new building but if every on j would visit the present High School and observe the existing conditions, it would be only a short time until Petaluma would have a High School of which every¬ one would be proud and the results gained would more than repay the expense. ATHLETICS OR the first time in years Petaluma has added to her reputation upon the track. Had the people of Petaluma been told a year ago that it w a s possible for Petaluma to win second place in a field meet, they would have laughed in scorn, but this year the impossible happened. The result was very encouraging and a new spirit was revived in athletic circles. Training was commenced with a large squad on tne track and under the coach¬ ing of Dr. James Anderson and Thomas McGuire, who very kindly offered theii services, a splendid team was being round¬ ed into form. But then came the usual relapse in Petaluma’s athletics. The number of boys in actual training decreased until there were only a very few who were really working, but these few were the ones who made the points in all the meets. S5 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll There is nothing which gives a school such a recognition as does its athletic achievements. Petaluma’s record has not been very high but if everyone would turn out and train faithfully, P. H. S. would soon come to the front. To turn out a good athelete requires time and every boy -should begin training in his first year be¬ cause the school needs the reputation which he could win by training faithfully for two or three years. There should be a spirit of loyalty to the school and every boy should stand ready to do his duty for dear old Petalu¬ ma High. AGRICULTURE ' HIS year there was intro¬ duced into the school a class in agriculture. This is a department has been making rapid advances in high schools and its introduc¬ tion marks another step forward in tne progress of the Petaluma High School. The class this year was under the very ef¬ ficient supervision of Mr. Passmore. The course consists in a study from the text books and also the practical know¬ ledge gained from the work in the agri¬ cultural gardens. A small piece of land was secured for the class this year and here various plants and vegetables were grown; and their nature and characteris¬ tics studied. Owing to the lack of facilities in the school it was impossible for the class this year to secure laboratory work, which consists in analysis of the soils and the de¬ termination of what soil is best for the various plants. In the new High School, such accommodations would, of course, be provided. The class is sure to become one of the most popular in the school and next year should see a large number of pupils en¬ rolled for it. PURE FOOD SHOW URIinG the present year there was held in this city a Pure Food Expo¬ sition. The High School had an exhibit of High School work, such as free hand drawing, me. chanical drawing, and typewritten work done by the Commercial Department. The Agricultural class had an exhibit of pro¬ ducts from the Agricultural Garden, this being the first time this class ever exhibit¬ ed. The work was artistically arranged in a booth, which was carefully prepared by the teachers. Blue ribbons were awarded some of the Commercial work. Visitors to the Exposition were enabled to gain an idea of some of the work done by the students in several lines.; The drawing is practically a new course in the High School, having been introduc¬ ed only two years ago, but it is already becoming one of the most prominent. Several of the students have excellent ar¬ tistic abilities, as shown by the work ex¬ hibited at the Pure Food Show, and after a few years of this work they will have greatly developed their abilities. ?6 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE 1 ENTERTAINMENTS HERE are usually sever¬ al entertainments pre¬ sented by the students during the year. hhe proceeds of the enter¬ tainments are used gen¬ erally in the promotion of athletics or the production of the High School paper, the Enterprise. It is al¬ ways necessary to charge for any enters tainments given because of the high rent we must pay for any hall in which to give them. If the High School had a large gymna¬ sium in which the students could present their entertainments, it would be possible to give free programs from time to time. Everyone could attend on these occasions and would thus keep in touch with the; students and with student affairs. We earnestly hope that with the erec¬ tion of a new High School such a plan will bt; carried out and feel sure that it would bring about a closer rel ationship between the students and the people. FAREWELL OF 1911 FTER four short years of pleasant work in the Petaluma High School, the Class of 1911 is now about to enter into a j r o a d er field. As we advance along the path ot life there will be many times when we shall look back upon the days we spent in High School, and as we think of the teach¬ ers who worked so patiently with us, we will utter a vote of thanks and wonder how it shall ever be possible for us to re¬ pay them. We shall miss the old familiar scenes and the routine of our day’s work. Many pleasant times have we spent with our fel¬ low students. We wash to thank the Board of Education, and through them the people of Petaluma, who have furnish¬ ed us the m eans which have helped us to prepare for our future work. But now our work is closed. Teachers and fellow students, the Class of 1911 bids you all Farewell. 37 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT ' iHE Commercial Depart¬ ment of the Petaluma r [ yffil High School reports an- 1|L rtjgN other year of progress. Attendance has increas¬ ed steadily each year for the last seven years, for which period of time it has been under the same teacher. The advantages and induce¬ ments of this department for the boy or girl who wishes to enter successfully into the business world are universally recog¬ nized. The department is conducted on a high plane and is now the equal of any in the state. The growth and success of the Commercial Department is largely due to the excellent supervision of the same by A. B. Way. Mr. Way is not only an able and thorough instructor, but a real friend to all his pupils. The department has kept up its practice of making some exhibit at gatherings of importance where patrons of the school would be in attendance and has this year made a display at the Pure Food Show of the work done by the students in type¬ writing and mimeographing. A blue rib¬ bon was won for this display. Through some misfortune the display sent to the fair at Seattle never got back so it has been necessary to collect entirely new ma¬ terial this year. The souvenir of the Department is ‘Type Writer Tappings,” a collection of about seventy pages of high grade work on the typewriter and mimeograph, in¬ cluding border designs, full page display work, two-color work in ornamental de¬ signs, and mimeograph drawings. This book is the property of the person making it, not a gift prepared by someone else. It is an index of the owner’s ability to handle the machine. At the beginning of the year the Board of Education authorized the exchange of the old machines in part payment of new ones. There are now fourteen machines in constant use. Four of these are No. 10 Smith Premier, four are No. 5 Underwood and four No. 10 Remington. All of these are new and are a real addition to the De¬ partment. We also have two of the old style Remingtons, commonly known as ‘ blind writers,” to distinguish them from the new “visible writing machines.” A Burroughs Adding machine was left with the school on trial and it has won its way to the hearts of the students. It is a seven-row machine and the students have learned to use it rapidly in adding long columns, in multiplication, subtraction, and in such special work as adding hours and minutes in keeping the time of em¬ ployees, in .horizontal and vertical addi¬ tion. Long live the Burrough’s Adder! As evidence of the crowded condition of the Department we cite the conditions during the entire afternoon. After the Arithmetic class, fifty-four have registered in this class during the term, the room is filled for the remainder of the day with prospective book-keepers. There have been four grades of students in the room during the rest of the day. Things have been lively there and the instructor has complained because he could not do more than three or four things at once since the term opened. The last live weeks is taken up with Business Practice. This is the whirl¬ wind season of the whole year. A big day’s work is outlined for each day and if mistakes or delays creep in it means a “mid-night session” to catch up. It is the best part of the year, however, and no one would miss it despite the rush and excitement attendant on the closing hours of the course. All hail, the Commercial Department! We have been there and we like it! EXOWGfS NAPA.NEE—December 1910—Napa High School. Your paper is very neat in appearance but a-few more cuts would add to its at¬ tractiveness. “Under the Golden Gate’ is a very interesting story. How about putting all the advertisements in the back of the paper? OLLA PODRIDA—November 1910—Ber¬ keley High School. Your cover design is very appropriate and your cuts are very good. “Nothin’ to do,” is a very interesting story but it would seem in a school of your size, you might have more stories. THE ADVANCE — June 1910 — Areata Union High School. Your paper would be improved by the use of a better grade of paper. It would be better to allow a little more space be¬ tween the titles of the stories and the stories themselves. You are rather lack¬ ing in joshes. THE GOLDEN BEAR—June 1910—So¬ noma High School. The appearance of your paper would be improved by a few more cuts at the be¬ ginning of the departments. The quality •of your cuts might also be improved. “Man’s a Man for a’ That” is a very good story. Where are your table of contents and your exchange departments? THE ILEX—December 1910—Woodland High School. Y T our literary department is very good. There is plenty of room for more cuts, however, and the number of your joshes is rather small. Wake up, Illex, as we v. ill expect a large improvement the next time. THE ITEM—February 1911 — Pasadena High School. Y ' ou should keep all of your advertise¬ ments in the back of your book. Other¬ wise your paper is very neat and well ed¬ ited. “Why is a Crowded School” is a very clever story. THE LOWELL—October 1910 — Lowell High School, San Francisco. Why not put all of the advertisements in the back of the book? Your cuts are very good but your departments might be better arranged. You should have more jokes. THE OAK — Washington Introductory High School.—Berkeley. We are glad to see you editing a paper and were especially pleased to notice the improvement of your second paper over the first. Keep up the good work and you will soon have a fine little paper. 43 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE s ] 1 THE POLYTECHNIC—December 1910- Polytechnic High School, San Francisco Your cover design is very good. Your cartoons are clever and the cuts are ex¬ cellent. A. few more stories would add to the paper. On the whole your paper is the best that has reached our desk this year. THE POLY HIGH — March 1911 — Los Angeles Polytechnic High School. Your paper is rather small but very well arranged. A few cuts would add to the appearance of the paper. THE SKIRMISHER — December 1910— St. Matthew’s Academy, Burlingame, Cal. Your paper on the whole is very good and the literary and exchange depart¬ ments are exceptionally well handled. It is almost impossible to make a criticism. THE SOTOYOMAN—June 1910—Healds- burg High School. Healdsburg, you do very well to publish a monthly paper. A few more cuts of better quality would improve the appear¬ ance of your paper. THE TIGER — December 1910 — Lick High School, S. F. The appearance of your paper wouid be greatly improved by a few more cuts. “The Yellow Streak” is a very good story. The exchange department is ably handled. THE WILMERDING LIFE — December 1910—Wilmerding School, S. F. You have a very good paper. Your lit¬ erary department is very good. The cuts are exceptionally clear and distinct. Wo are always glad to welcome your paper t; our desk. AS SEEN BY OTHERS A self-important, would-be star, Who oftiines stutters slightly; (?) Another none the less conceited lad, Whose hair shines, Oh, so brightly. A quiet and good natured chap, Who on victory, always, is intent; Another tall and modest lad, Who in center only, is content. And last of all, but not the least, Comes the agile and well-liked “Mits;” And also that jovial substitute, Who the name of “Ramie” fits. Now in reading this description, Can you tell whom I mean? If you can’t, then I will tell you; It’s the Boys’ Basket Ball Team. 44 SCHOOL NOTES On Monday the 8th day of August the P. H. S. reopened for the Fall Term. Many changes have taken place in our faculty this year. Miss Helen M. Perkins, the head of the English department, left us at the opening of school owing to ill¬ ness and Miss Anita De Laguna was en¬ gaged to substitute in her place. Miss De Laguna stayed with us several weeks and then left to assume her position at Lakeport High. Miss Elizabeth Everett was elected to fill the vacancy and assumed her new dut¬ ies in a very efficient manner. The next event of importance, during the term was the election of officers by the different classes, which resulted as follows: Seniors President—Percy Mills. Vice President—Mary Connolly. Secretary Treasurer—Enid Dorroh. Athletic Representative—Lillian Keller Juniors President—Lois Purvine. Vice President—Genevieve Gallagher. Secretary Treasurer—Leola Pinger. Athletic Representative—Herman Ray- maker. Sergent at Arms—Will Symons. Sophomores President—Benson Bachelor. Vice President-—Marion Orr. Secretary Treasurer—C harlotte •Chamberlin. Athletic Representative—Harry Brown Freshmen. President—Earl Doss. Vice President—Roy Miller. Secretary Treasurer—Ida Jones. Athletic Representative — Ralph Tan¬ ner. Miss Helen Prutzman has organized a High School Glee Club which has taken part in several of the monthly programs. The Senior Class lost one of its favorite members when Miss Letha Needham left school. She is now attending Willows High School. On the night of Dec. 15th the Students gave an entertainment under the auspices of the Athletic Association. An original farce entitled “Speedo Haymaker’’ was put on and also the farce called “A Case of Suspension.” The entertainment was given at the Unique Theater and was well presented. A neat sum was realized for the promotion of athletics. The track team mourns the loss of its efficient ex-captain, Vernet Smith, who is now attending school in San Diego. Prof. Martin Singer who for years was the head of the Latin department in our school resigned his position at the end of the fall term to take up other work. Miss Elza Schluckebier was elected by the Board of Education to occupy his place. Several large rallies were held during the year, by the students, before the field days and a huge bon fire was kindled at each. The students always enjoy them¬ selves at these rallies and we hope they will continue to hold them, in the future. During the year the different classes held numerous pie, candy and sandwich sales and the Junior Class even held a Pure Food Sale, which presumably was running in opposition to the Pure Food Show. 45 The students of the P. H. S. have ad¬ hered to the old paying Come, and trip it as ye g o, On the light fantastic toe. The Sophomores started the social ball rolling by giving a dance at Woodmen Hall on the night of September 2, 1910. This was a decided social success and everyone was looking forward for more of these pleasant affairs. The Senior Class took up the matter of social functions where the Sophomores left off, and they gave many enjoyable dances. Their first one was given on Sept. 16, at Woodmen Hall and the proceeds went toward de¬ fraying the expenses of publishing the school paper. The next dance was given on the night of Oct. 15, in honor of tilt track team and it was one of the most de¬ lightful social functions of the season. Many out of town guests were present, and many of the visiting atheletes from the other schools. On the 4th of Septem¬ ber the Seniors decided to give a Mas¬ querade ball and this was well attended and was both a social and financial suc¬ cess. Both students and faculty took part in the fun and a most enjoyable evening was spent by all. Just before the closing of the school for the Christ¬ mas holidays, a shirtwaist dance was giv¬ en at I. O. G. T. hall, and was greatly en¬ joyed. The Executive Committee of the Ath¬ letic Association of the P. H. S. formed a Social Corporation on Feb. 9, and gave a dance on the night of Feb. 10, which was well attended. The Sophomores gave the annual Freshman Reception on Feb. 17th at Woodmen Hall. The hall was beautifully and artistically decorated in the class col¬ ors and greens. Music was furnished by Paulsen’s orchestra and a most pleasant and enjoyable evening was spent by the tots and grown-ups. The Junior Class of 1910 gave one of the most pleasant Senior Receptions ever given. It took place on May 27, 1910, at Woodmen Hall and about 250 guests were present. The hall was beautifully decorated in purple and gold, the senior colors, and presented a very charming ap¬ pearance. Music for dancing was fur¬ nished by Smith’s orchestra. On the evening of March 14th the Jun¬ ior Class gave a banquet and social even¬ ing at the High School in honor of Miss Helen Perkins, our former English teach¬ er, who w ' as here on a visit. Covers were laid for about fifty guests and a most en¬ joyable evening was spent by all present. The faculty of our school tendered the members of the boys’ Basket Ball team, a banquet at the home of Mrs. Cheese- wright on the evening of Feb. 17th. Those present were the members of the faculty and the team. After dinner speeches were made by the boys and they all declared that they had ‘the time of their lives.” After the banquet the boys and teachers all attended the reception that the Sophomore Class was giving ta the Freshmen at Woodman hall. TRACK LUCK The boys of our track team S me great deeds have done, And when they have lost not, They always have won. Last fall the big field meet On our own track was held. Our hopes ran so high That we stood up and yelled. A tightening of muscles, A bang of tne gun, A short flash of “Sunshine”, And the fifty yard’s won. Then Walters, the vaulters Beat, all except one. And Herman came third In the four-forty run. Harry won the eight-eighty And did it up Brown. Mills hit up the mile, (And later the town.) We had won second place, Prom our hoodoo were freed. No wonder we “Boom-ah’d” And “Whiskety-wee’d.” This spring to Ukian The boys took their way, And in order to win more Ate nothing all day. In half-starved condition They were set loose on the track; We started them out And then watched them come back. Our Harry stood by us And won him a place; And now we’re afraid Percy loses his race. Ye shades of Olympus! Ye stern rockbound hills! One last desperate dash And the mile’s won by Mills. And then with the weights Our man “Pierced” the air. And brought back five points A pretty good share. We didn’t quite win If the truth must be said, But we came very near it, (Only three schools ahead). Next they went to Benicia, Must this tale be sung? The long and the short, And the sideways is—stung! Before we recovered, Mills, Cromwell and Brown Were sent down to Berkeley To win them renown. Now some U of C “frat” boys Entertained them in style, And at night, fearing dullness, Kept them out a short (?) while. Then the next day at lunch-time Our boys looked so thin That they fed them up well Ere the meet should begin. But for a’ that our Percy Was able to run. And in the two mile, but For one would have won. By this he won glory And a medal brought back, To put with two others He’d won on the track. Are we proud of our boys? Well I rather guess yes! It took a whole period Our joy to express. Tame Fortune has throwm Some boquets in our lap, The Petaluma High School Is now on the map. Frances Brown. TRACK O sooner had the doors of the P. H. S. swung open in welcome to the students, in August, than there was great enthusiasm shown among the boys in re¬ gard to all athletic activities. Both on field and track the boys have shown up in better form than they have done for many a year. At a meeting of the track team, Yernet Smith was elected track captain and Percy Mills was elected man¬ ager a short time after. Active training was now commenced and a large training squad turned out. On September 30, the A. A. L. indoor meet was held in the Auditorium in San Francisco and Petaluma sent a team of six men. Although they made no points still they gained considerable experience and this helped them greatly in the next meet. THE FALL MEET. At a meeting of the delegates from the various schools in the Northwestern Sub- League, which was held in Petaluma, it 48 P H. S. ENTERPRISE 11 was decided to hold the Fall meet in tnis city on the 15th of CFctober. As soon as the date was set a team was picked out to represent Petaluma and the following composed the team: Smith, Brown, Mills, Dorroh, W. Adams, Brunson, Walters, Peck, Hyatt, Raymaker and Anderson. Petaluma surprised herself and everyone else by carrying away second place in the meet with a total of 34 points. Santa Rosa secured first place. The Petaluma winners and points won were: Mills—Mile 5; 120 hurdles, 2. Uorroh—50 yd. dash, 5; 100 yd. dash, Brown—880 yd. run, 5. Smith—Mile, 2. Raymaker—440 yd. dash, 2. Hyatt—220 hurdles, 2. Walters—Pole vault, 3. Brunson—High jump, 1. Relay Team—6. Total—34. There was considerable enthusiasm shown over the boys’ splendid work and at the rally the following Monday, sever¬ al of the Alumni offered the boys their services and assistance to help the team keep up its newly made record. At a meeting of the track team a few days later Harry Brown was chosen track cap¬ tain for the next season. THE SPRING MEET. The Spring field meet was held at Ukiah on the 1st of April and Petaluma sent a team to take part. The boys had not been training as well as they might have and this is shown by their standing in the meet. Petaluma secured fourth place with a total of 16 V 2 points. We wish, here, to thank Dr. James Anderson and Thos. McGuire for their kind interest in the boys of our school and we hope that the boys will also appreciate theii kindness and do better in the next meets. These two gentlemen assisted the boys willingly in all their track work but the boys did not train as willingly and faith¬ fully as they might have and this ac¬ counts for their not making a b e 11 e i showing in the Spring meet. The point winners and points won were: Cromwell—Discus, 2; Shot, 3. Brown—880 yd. run, 3. Mills—Mile run, 5. Walters—Pole Vault, 2. Raymaker—440 yd. dash, y 2 . Total—16 y 2 . BERKELEY INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET. Percy Mills, Pierce Cromwell and Har¬ ry Brown were the representatives sent from our school to the Interscholastic Meet held in Berkeley on April 29th. Al¬ though Cromwell and Brown did not place in this meet we ?re glad to say that Mills made one of the best showing ot the day. He entered the two mile race and was a close second at the finish. The finish of this race was the best one of the day. The man who won first place in tlrs race was only a few inches in advance of Mills, and many of the spectators declar¬ ed it was a tie. We obtained three points in this race and Percy Mills is now the possessor of a silver medal for his work. BASKET BALL. The Basket Ball team this season was certainly one to be proud of. The boys began to practice as soon as the fall track meet was over. Kennilworth pavUlion was secured for practice and under the efficient leadership of Captain Clair Peck, the boys soon rounded a team into form. Some difficulty was experienced in prac¬ ticing, because a number of boys had to come three and four miles to practice, but they came rain or shine and their bril¬ liant record is one that will not be forgot¬ ten for some time to come. They won the championship of the county and also 51 P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll of the Northwestern Sub-League of the A. A. L. Medals were given them by the league for their splendid w’ork. The following composed the team during the first half of the season: Center—Herman Raymaker. Guards—Harold Madison and Carleton Dorroh. Forwards—Clair Peck and Martin Wal¬ ters. Substitute—Harry Brown. During the last half of the season the team was as follows: Center—Robert Adams. Guards—Harold Madison and Carelton Dorroh, (Mgr). Forwards—Clair Peck (captain), and Martin Walters. Substitute—Raymaker. The first game was played at Sebasto¬ pol on Nov. 18th, with Analy High and Analy went down to defeat by a score of 88-16. In a close and exciting game at Dreamland rink on Dec. 3, Petaluma de¬ feated their old rivals, Santa Rosa High, by a score of 24-21. At Sebastopol, Jan. 7, the Gold Ridge team fell a victim to the P. H. S. with a score of 65-12. Next, Healdsburg High forfeited a game and on Jan. 20, the team of Co. E, Santa Rosa, went down to defeat with the score of 40- 10. On Jan. 27, our team journeyed to Santa Rosa and the Santa Rosa High team again met their Waterloo by a score of 23-18. The next team that bow¬ ed their heads to defeat was the St. Mary’s College team and the score was 28 to 19 in our favor. Our team was now out for championship honors and obtain¬ ed them by going to San Rafael, Feb. 11, and defeating the Mt. Tamalpias Military Academy team, to the tune of 27 to 13. Having won this game they were now out for the state honors, being among the five strongest teams in the state. We did not succeed in this, however, for on Feb. 22 v our team went down to defeat to the San Mateo team, in San Rafael, by a score ot 46-34. The season was now closed as the time was being taken up with the Spring track work, so Basket Ball was dropped. After a meeting had been call¬ ed, Martin Walter was el e c t e d cap¬ tain for the following season. We all wish “Mits” the greatest possible success during his captaincy. BASEBALL Owing to the fact that the Baseball season came shortly after the annual High School paper went into print, no mention was made of the success of last year’s Baseball team. At the beginning of the season Bill Cannon was elected captain and by steady practice he turned out a very good team. Vernet Smith and Carleton Dorroh were the batteries lor che team. The following games were played and all were won by Petaluma: Sebastopol, 2; Petaluma, 4. San Rafael, 9—Petaluma, 10. Sebastopol, 5; Petaluma 8. Santa Rosa, 3; Petaluma, 7. Sonoma forfeited their game, thus giv¬ ing it to Petaluma with a score of 9 to 0. At the close of the season Millard Brun¬ son was elected to the captaincy of the team for the season of 1911. cjo cjo P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll O U SENIOR CLASS There is a young lady named Keller, Who is a jolly good yeller, She was in a play But to our dismay She looked so old you scarcely could tell her. 2 . Ethyl Cannon is a lassie, W ho is said, by some, to be classy. She comes in on the train From a distant lane, And gets along swell with Passie. 3. Clifford was the noble lad, Who started, at High, the pompadour fad, His heart did whirl For a certain girl, He was often happy, but seldom sad. 4. Mary, Mary, quite contrary, Had eyes of deepest blue, She was not small And yet not tall, And wore a suit of greenish hue. 5. There was a maid serene, Who is known to us as Irene, She has curly hair, Is tall, and quite fair, But by some she is called, “String-bean. ’ 6 . Percy is the little chap, Who is full of business, vim and snap. He makes many smile When he wins the mile, While others stand by and clap. 7. Enid, oh, Enid, why do you laugh? And why does your face wear a smile? You giggle and giggle From morning till night, And thus do the hours beguile. 8 . Mildred Herbert was a maid Who from Penngrove did come. She was full of the dickens, Went to bed with the chickens. And rose up at morn with the sun. 9. There w r as a young fellow called Willie, Who by some was thought to be silly. One could see at a glance That when he had the chance, He’d never allow a maid to get chilly. 4 =§ 55 fEiv JOSHES. A school paper’s a great invention, The staff gets all the fame— The printer gets the money, And the editor gets all the blame.—Ex. Miss Everett (in English): Will each member of the class tcme what musical instrument you play? Carleton (after considerable hesitation) Well, Bob Adams plays the cornet and Harry Brown the mandolin. Bob (in low voice): Yes and Fitz plays the piano when he has a nickle. “What is that noise I hear?” Squeak! Squeak! Ah! I know now, it’s little Zeke, As he slides so very gently o’er the floor, His shoes squeak like the rusty hinges ol a door. Fresh: (inquisitively): “What was Fitz put out of the Basket Ball team for last night?” Jeff Cline: “For unnecessary rough¬ ness. He hadn’t shaved for three days.” Miss Watkins: ‘‘What is an east wind?” Bill Loftus: “A wind that comes from the west.” Corporal (to private on guard duty): “Your rank?” Private: “I know it.” Fickle Fame. Vhen I was a wee green Freshman, I had designs on Fame; A high and mighty Sophomore, I felt about the same. I got to be a Junior, By skinning all my teeth, And if I land the sheepskin, You can ditch the laurel wreath. —Ex. Miss Everett: “Carter, can you give us two synonyms?” Carter: “Yes; croak and die.” Mr. Singer (in U. S. History): “What are the public utilities?” Mildred H.: “The mayor, the super¬ visors—” Mr. Singer: “No.” Ansel H.: “The Board of Health and the School Board.” Virgil Skinner was making unneces¬ sary noise in the library and Miss Everett came near asking him if he was the skel eton in the closet. rgil, however, as¬ sured her that he belonged there. P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’ll B. Bachelor (to salesman): “I wish to buy a hat.” Salesman: “What kind, please?” B. Bachelor: “Oh, to match my head.” Salesman: “Just this way, and I ' ll show you my line of soft hats.” (Millie was trying to get through a narrow place.) Fitz: “Pretty tight squeeze isn’t it, Millie?” Millie: “Oh, no, I’ve been in tighter.” There is a young dandy named Ramie, Who for mischief gets all the blamie; He’s a vellie bad boy All fillie with joy, But a game sport he is all the sarnie. Freshie: “Oh, look at that large leman squeezer.” Senior: “Sh—, not so loud; that’s Mr. Passmore.” Millard was out seeing the sights with a friend of his in the city. His friend, not wishing to miss any place of interest asked, “Do you remember Grace Church?” “I’m not certain,” answered Millard, “which company was she in?” A jolly young chemistry tough, While mixing a compound of stuff, Dropped a match in a vial And after a while They found his front teeth and one cuff. Miss Everett: “John, do you like Long¬ fellow’s Tales of a Wayside Inn?” John: “Yes, but I like the tales of a roadhouse belter.” Mr. Passmore: (in law): “What is a legal blank?” Bright Pupil: “A legal blank is a lawyer who never gets a case.” SOME FRESHIE DON’TS. 1. Don’t start the habit of dancing on the upper classmen’s feet. Keep on your own. 2. Don’t make faces behind your teachers’ backs. Their eyes are in front and they can’t appreciate the cleverness. 3. Don’t bring your gum .to school Stick it under tne table before leaving home; it will probably be there when you get back. 4. Don’t sharpen your pencil too of¬ ten. We realize the amusement, but it’s expensive. 5. Don’t tell Mr. Passmore you’ve lost your handkerchief. He won’t lend you his. 6. Don’t stick around the Seniors. You’re sure to show your ignorance. 7. Don’t wipe your pen on your socks. They’ve been dyed before. 8. Don’t queen, but of course, that’3 understood. 9. Don’t be continually smoothing yr r trouser’s creases. We appreciate their length. 10. Don’t squander your dad’s hard- earned nickles, except to treat the upper classmen. Letha N: “Has Rhode Island two capitals?” Mr. Singer: “Not that I know of.” Bill Loftus: “Yes, it has a capital R. and I.” There is some question as to why, on a ' certain day in March, Ansel Hardin whistled the tune of “My wife’s gone to the country.” Mr. Passmore: “Who won the battle between the Wasp and the Frolic?” John M.: “The Chesapeake.” 57 P.
