THE GREAT MIGRATION H APPILY, though perhaps somewhat timidly, the class of ’23 entered good old P. H. S. proud to be one of the four common¬ wealths of that great democracy. They had migrated from the Grammar School under far better conditions than had their ancestois who migrated fom England to America. In some respects they were searching for the same thing. Both sought a better living, one by means of freedom, the other by education. The latter were fulfilling the motto they chose, “Tomorrow to fresh woods and pasturer new.” IT. THE PERIOD OF COLONIZATION Unlike their ancestors, however, they were not so long in settling- down. They elected Henry Siess their president and under Ins guiding hand they prospered. The Freshman dance was a great success and the cabaret dance at the end was novel and gave promise of what they were yet to do. The second part of the period Roscoe Gegory was elected president. He also led them steadily, faithfully plodding on to new pastures. Interlcass basketball was won by the team of ’23. III. PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION The Sophomore year was one of school activity as well as class activity. Members of the class took part in athletics, social affairs and dramatics and a few reached literary fame. Henry Siess won first prize for the Enterprise Stories, Henry Ravenscroft Sophomore prize and Pearl Foster, then of ’24 now of ’23, the Freshman prize. The class gave a delightful program before the student body and the two ‘hops’ were enjoyed by all who attended them. Truman Clark was their president for the whole year. IV. SOCIAL AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT If the Sophomore year was a period of school activities, the junior year was one of greater activities. Athletics, social affairs and dramatics again found those of ’23 participating in them. The President of the Associated Students, Fred Arfsten; Secre- tary of Social Affairs, Aileen Beck; and Secretary of Girls’ Athletics were all Juniors. In the last half of the year “Biff” Hoffman was ap¬ pointed Secretary of Boys’ Athletics to fill out the unexpired term of Rollo Fuller. Just before Christmas, as was the usual custom, the Juniors gave a mock Christmas tree to the Seniors. The presents were good jokes and there was many a laugh on the poor Seniors. The class was gradually diminished in number which naturally made finances low. The Juniors and Seniors joined forces in giving THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 their dance, and both affairs, one in the first half, and the other in the last half of the year were enjoyed by all. Truman Clak was again president during the first semester, Max¬ ine Ayers the second. At the last of the year the student body election was held and from the ranks of the class of ’23 came P. H. S.’ star athelete, President ‘‘Biff” Hoffman, prima donna of P. H. S. Secretary of State Paula Staton, later succeeded by Edith Peterson, Secretary of Publications Heny Ravenscroft, Secretary of Interior Pearl Foster, Secretary of Boys’ Athletics Henry Eglight and Secretary of Social Affairs Maxine Ayers, succeeded at the beginning of the next term by Elina Barry ’24. V. EXPANSION INTO WORLD POLITICS The class entered the last year of High School life joyfully, though perhaps some of the joy was lost at the thought of soon departing from their friends. Ed Frasier was elected president and the class buckled down to work to do its best to make this senior class the best senior class that was ever graduated from P. H. S. The appointment of Ralph Tibbetts as Student Body Treasurer brought another senior to the limelight while the chairmen of the Honor Society of which society quite a few seniors belonged, were also seniors. Henry Siess 1st semester, and Ruth Benson 2nd semester. Laurels in athletics were won by Henry Eglight, basketball and baseball; Ed Frasier, football, basketball and track; Henry Frates, baseball; Irwin Hagedohm track; Cliffod Hoffman, football, basketball and track; Duncan Olmsted, track; and Harold Way, tennis. In Dramatics we find Aileen Beck, Pearl Foster, Edward Frasier Irwin Hagedohm, Frank Nickson, Edith Peterson, Henrv Ravenscroft Lela Ronsheimer, Heny Siess, Carleton Spridgen, Betty Stackhouse! Elizabeth Stradling, Edmund Turner and Dorothy Williams. Membership was small and so finances were low. Both semesters the Juniors and Seniors again joined forces, this time the class of ’°4 and ’23, to give their dance. At Christmas the Juniors presented a mock Christmas tree to the Seniors and great fun was had by all. The last semester final arrangements were made for the senior weeks. The Senior-Alumni Ball started it off the Saturday before graduation and all the rest of the week was one affair after another, the Baccalaureate Senior Sunday gave us a Senior thought. Monday was Class Day and as the Seniors visited the old familiar places around school their smiles were dimmed. Tuesday the P. T. A. banquet was greatly relished by the ravenous Seniors. Wednesday aftenoon the boys had a jolly time placing their numerals on the hill behind the ' school but the times were still jollier when the girls cam? at twilight with the supper. Thursday was Commencement and as the Seniors received their diplomas they realized that it was ‘‘Tomorrow to fresh DUNCAN OLMSTED, ’23. — 8 — ED FRASIER Student Control ’21, ’22, ’23; Rooster Club ’22, ’23; Basketball ’21, ’22; Capt.

Throw into the kettle black, Frogs and snakes and bats, a pack, Liver of a rabbid dog, Lizard’s leg and toe of frog, Gall of goat and Tartar’s lips Gather’d in the moon’s eclipse. Make the gruel thick and dark Like the raving salt-sea shark. Cool it with a boboon’s blood Then the charm is firm and good. Now will tell us real and true What each one of us will do. Frank Nickson will be an electrical engineer, A great success, of that you may be sure. And next, an editor, Duncan Olmsted, see, Who’ll write editorials, deep and great, with glee. His private secretary, Anita Palm, Yes, she alone is unperturbed and calm. And Florence Olsen, a doctor she will be, She’ll attain great fame, especially for her fee. Then there’ll be two teachers among our few, They’re Edith Peterson, Kathryn Harris, too. The first in grammar grades will teach and rule, And Kathryn a second Miss Hodgehead, calm and cool. In biological research will Natalie shine, Discovering germs and growths we can’t define. And Dorothy Williams will master cookery And teach Domestic Science and Arts, you’ll see. And also two college profs raised up aloft, Both Harold Way and Henry Ravenscroft. An actor we’ll be sure to have, you know, For Henry Siess and his dimple would make a show. His partner in fame will be Pearl Foster, “Red”, I know in drama she’ll be far ahead. Their stage director, Irwin Hagedohm, Will wander long and far away from home. Of famous musicians we’ll have our share, just two. Floyd Wright and Helen Eagan’ll enchant me and you. Oh, yes, religion has claimed of ours its share In Eva Hillis and Ralph Tibbetts fair. Together they’ll work, and Ralph’s addresses’ll bring Both rich and poor, yea, all, beneath their wing. — 14 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 And Dorothy Biancliini will be a nun. Within her sheltered cloister she’ll have fun. A great designer also we shall find, For Eloise can surely sew, now mind! (For Norma can Plow right thru a cloth with scis-) Her partners in her shop will be, a wiz, And Helen Winans a dainty seam will sew And hem and ruffle and make a pretty bow. Then Liz and Helen hous es will adorn, For, interior decorators were they born. As a farmer Henry Frates’ll gain renown, His spuds will be the rage and talk of the town. A sailor on the rolling, dee}) blue sea Will Orvil Joyce, so jolly and kindly, be. And in athletics we’ll find some, I know. To that both Biff and Eglight do we owe. And when perchance they hurt their knee or head With Mable Jorgensen’s drugs they’ll keep their bed. A great debater, Louis Kameny, His discussions in the Senate Chamber see. We’ll have a prison repesentative, For there Reformer Lorentzen will live. Her comrade, Patty Carmichael will see That the prisoners’ teeth are sound as sound can be. Then matrimony will claim its share, of course, Opal Cree and Aileen Beck, they might do worse. And to society we’ll offer Carlton S. And Margaret Mecliam, among the best. But then, of course, we can’t all gain success So Ed a first-rate bum will be, no less. I fear your humble servant’s doomed to die For writing for each a most unworthy lie. RUTH BENSON, ’2.3. If all who hate us loved us, And all our love were true, Then the stars in heaven above us Wou Id be whiter against the blue.

This last year as Juniors and as the class of ’24 we have fulfilled our ambition. In scholarship, athletics, dramatics and social affairs we have taken a prominent part. In athletics Fred Ellsworth has been prominent, having been track captain for the year. Clyde Robertson was on the football team during the first semester and Fred Billings was the captain of the 120 lb. foot¬ ball team. Lois Sanderson was secretary of girls’ athletics and has done much to promote the Girls’ Athletic Association this year. Many of the Junior boys and girls took part in the Charm School, the annual P. H. S. play and helped to make it a success. Dooley Ryan took several leading parts in the vaudeville and has been our very highly commended yell leader for the last year. Elma Barry has been Secretary of Social Affairs and Chairman of the Booster Club. She has taken an active part in the boosting foi P. H. S. We have given two snappy and very successful dances co- operating with the Seniors. Evelyn Steitz has been the president of the Girls’ League and has done much to promote a friendly and co-operative spirit among the girls. Catherine Coghill was Secretary of Social Affairs and did much to make the Junior-Senior dance a success. Roy Raymond has had charge of all the seat sales for plays and the vaudeville for the last year and is largely responsible for the fine sale of seats. There are many Junior members in the Honor Society and we hope the Senior membership will increase much more next yeai. With Clyde Robertson and Max Flolir as our presidents for the last year the class of ’24 has lived up to its motto, “Watch us Glow! NANETTE LIE BERT. 17 The .Junior Class The Sophomore Class The Sophomore Class HEN we started to High School as Freshmen we planned to make a beautiful journey of it. We traveled in an airship with Frest Jackson as our pilot and had a most successful year. He acquainted us with all the school activities. This year, under the pilot- ship of Doris Hopkns, weliave again taken active part in everything. As we came to different places of interest in High School the pupils would ask to have the airship stopped so they could participate in the different activities. The first place at which we landed was the Land of Plays, Music and Dancing. Forest Jackson furnished music with his saxaplione, and Betty McConagliy danced. Olga Gekkeler and Harold Gregg con¬ descended to sing with Galli Curci and Harry Lauder. Jack Waycott showed himself such a gifted comedian that he is being besieged with offers from New York’s greatest companies; he is consequently pre¬ paring to go on the stage as a second Fred Stone. At the Honor Society Convention eleven of our Sophomores joined. They were: Annie Berger, Molly Burmester, Rosalind Lapike, Mabel Martin, Nellie Nelson, Wilma Ott, Anderson Peoples, Marguerite Scott, Li lath Smith, Carolyn Thorsen and Irene Way. In the Land of Stenography Alice Paulsen, Lilatli Smith, Elsie Lorentzen and many others showed us they were born stenographers. In typing Olive Thomas, Grace Young, Marion Olmsted and others are preparing to meet Miss Bessie Friedman, the typist who now holds the accuracy championship of the world but who is likely to be defeated by one of these girls in the near future. The next halt was called in the Athletic grounds. Here we entered five football men, four track men, one basketball man, and two baseball men. Not a few of the boys have numerals and Mickey Clark and Walter Sjosten have received block P’s. On the tennis courts Margaret Scott is becoming such a world’s wonder that she will probably meet Miss Mallory n the near future. Lilatli Smith led her basketball team to easy victory and the Sophomore girls are now the champions of the school. Some of our literary artists have had the honor of having their work published in the P. T. A. Bulletins. As a diversion for our hard-working people we planned a dance which was given at the Woman’s Club House. This proved to be a de¬ cided success. We had a wonderful time and gave the San Rafael foot¬ ball boys a good time, too. We are planning another dance to be given in May in our new gymnasium arid a lively and unique program is to be given. Next year we hope to keep sailing on as smoothly as we have sail¬ ed in our Freshman and Sophomore years. Me will make many more valuable “finds” which will boost our school along the way toward the Land of Happiness and Success. Secretary, NELLIE NELSON. — 19 - The Freshman Class Freshman Class W HEN the fall semester, for 1922, commenced, we, the class of ’26 entered P. H. S. Being somewhat bewildered by the great bustle anti confusion of so large an institution, we sat back and tried to catch our breath. We finally became accustomed to the new ways and people. At our first meeting we elected Harold Farquar as our first eatler in High School. I nder his peppery guidance we believe we have set a mark as freshmen for future classes to live up to. When the football mentor began looking for material, the fresh¬ men supplied him with a number of candidates, several making the team as regulars. Carleton Coffy was one of the football stars. Beck oung, Andrew Bravo and Melvin Delmaestro starred in basketball, Young being the captain-elect for the coming season. Many points will this trio garner for P. H. S. before their graduation. The same three men in field and tract events have thrilled the spectators with their all¬ round work. The entire team was in fact composed of freshmen. But not only in Athletics have we shown ourselves to advantage, several freshmen have been on the scholastic Honor Roll for the entire four quarters. Yea brother,, some, bunch, that class of 1926. CARLETON COFFEY, ’26. — 20 — LITER A R Y A Hand Painted Romance (Adapted from a Song) (Senior Story) I N THE musty curio cabinet the dust of many years had gathered, somewhat dimming the bright colors of the small figure painted on the Japanese saucer. Song-Fong-So, for such was the figure, could remember many, many years ago, when he was held by royal hands and had a brother who was painted on a cup; jeweled fingers of rulers had touched him and he had been much admired in those long past days. Well could he remember the trip across the sea and of being placed in the curio cabinet where he had only memories, for none of the other curios had ever heard of him or his dear Japan. There is a memory that Song-Fong So loves best, yet every time it comes to him, tiny tears almost trickle down his painted cheeks. Deeply imprinted in his memory is the day when the cabinet door opened and a beautiful silken fan was placed near him. He was almost beside him¬ self with joy for there painted on the fan was a dainty maiden of his home land. However, it took time and much courtesy to even become acquainted wfitli her as she had all the modesty that becomes the well bred Japanese maiden. But Song-Fong-So considered his time well spent for was she not a true figure of lovliness such as only an artist could create? Their mutual sympathy brought them together as perhaps nothing else could have. Wing-Tee-Wee was also of the royalty and they had much in common. During the happy days that followed it was inevitable that Song should fall in love with Wee. At last he could no longer keep silent, so one evening he picked up the tiny Japanese banjo that was painted beside him and sang tenderly: “Wee, please come with me And let’s go back to dreamy Lotus Land. There, mid flowers fair, I swear to love you, Love you, ’neatli the magic moon above you. Wee, I love but thee, just wait and see The wondrous dream I’ve planned, I’ll leave my saucer, you leave your fan And let’s go back to dreamy Lotus Land.” Wee, hiding her blushing face, shyly stepped from her fan. But alas! In her confusion she tripped and was broken. This was almost more than Song could bear but a painted figure cannot die. Day by day he is fading and although many years have past Song-Fong-So con¬ tinues to sing his little love song as the evening shadows fall. PATTY CARMICHAEL, ’23. — 21 — An Inspiration A X author was sitting at his desk over his work. The room in which lie was, was cold and musty. The ceiling was high and the floor was carpetless. He was a long lean man with a pair of sharp, pin-lik,e eyes. His face wore a tired, hollow look. He was disgusted. All of his stories were failures. They would start and then drift away from the subject. It was afternoon and the leaves were fluttering off of the trees. He lay his head on his crumpled stories and slept. the room was empty and cold, and it was almost midnight when he awoke. He shuddered and, speaking out loud, said, “It’s getting cold.’’ “Getting old,’’ came an answer as if an echo right behind him. He jumped and looked but, because of the dark, could see nothing. He felt for a match in his pocket. The box had been full when he put it there but now it was partly emp ty. Hearing something behind him he said, “Who’s there?” No answer. He struck a match. It went out. Another, another and still an¬ other went out as if something blew them. There were two matches left. One sputtered and went out. The other flickered and lit. He went to light the lamp but the lamp went out. He heard a light thudding — thump, thump, thmup. His hair raised on his head. Cold shivers ran up and down his spine. He remembered his flashlight in the drawer of his desk. He felt for it and when he touched the cold flashlight he heard the banging of the clock, Midnight! His fingers seemed frozen. He pressed the button. The light did not go on. He exclaimed, ‘ ‘ Confound that battery! ’ ’ “Battery”, came the answer from the other end of the hall. His beady eyes became as large as saucers. He found a match in his pocket that had slipped from the box. He struck it carefully and lit the lamp. From up on the rafters came the words, “Polly wants a cracker.” And then he sat down and wrote this story. ALICE JORGENSEN, ’25. — 22 — Buried Treasure (Freshman Story ) M ARTHY ANN, an old colored woman was cleaning out her cup¬ board when she found a piece of paper. She looked at it for a minute or two then she exclaimed, Wha Moses Austin Washing¬ ton, look what Ah gone and founded.” What,” asked Moses, her hus¬ band, as he looked up from his month old paper. Old Marthy waddled over to him and gave him the paper and this is what Moses read: BURIED TREASURE 10 Feet North of Big Pine Under White Rock. JOHN MORRIS” Huh, dat ole paper ain’ no good an’ yoali ain’ gwine fin’ it need- er,” said Moses, and he went back to his paper. Big Pine, Big Pine,” said Marthy to herself, All’s gwine find dat air treasure and buy mall- self a noo hat. Dat air big pine tree ain’ far from heah, Ah can fin’ et.” That afternoon, Marthy was sittng in front of the tumble down shack she called home and she was singing old negro songs as she peeled her potatoes. Lor’ a’ massy,” she suddenly said, der comes Cliloe, now. All’ll tell her all ’bout dat air treasure.” Cliloe was an old negress who lived up the road and as she waddled up the path, she wondered about Marthy’s happiness. Wot yoali so happy ’bout,” she inquired. All’s happy ’cause Ah founded some treasure, All’s gwine be rich some day,” Wot you finded?” demanded Cliloe. Come heah, and don yoali tell anyone needer,” said Marthy, as she handed the paper she had found that morning to Cliloe. Wal, Wal, ef dat ain’ scramfunctuous, ” said Cliloe as she handed the paper back to Marthy. When yoali air gwine look, for dat air treasure?” Jus’ as soon as Ah kin fin’ a pussun ta go dar with me,” answered Marthy, ”don’ yoali wanna come?” Wal I reckan yoali’s tellen the truf, All’ll go. Cous’ yoali,’ll go en da dawk won’ yoali?” answered Cliloe. Slior’,” said Marthy, in a whisper, We air gwien tanight at ’bout nine er’ clock. All’ll meet you down at dat air house by dat big tree by yoali house.” All right,” said Cliloe, All’ll bring mall sack, dat dose air ’taters corned in. Fine dat air scramfunctuous.” And Cliloe then left and as she waddled down the filthy, weedgrown path, Marthy called, An don’ yoah forget.” It was nine o’clock, there was no moon and the rain came pouring down. Cliloe and Marthy were dripping wet and covered with mud when they were only one half of the way to the Big Pine. Yell,” said Cliloe, Ah reckons mall hat is don spiled.

After they had walked for another thirty minutes or so, Cliloe suddenly said, Da air dat Big Pine.” Golly,” said 23 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 Marthy, “Mali liawt am thumpin’ mighty big.” “Der am dat big rock. Come on yoali, lift et and Ah will cotch dat air treasure,” said Chloe. “Aw right, yoah lift et and Ah shore’ll cotch dat air teasure,” said Marthy. The rock was lifted and then Marthy said, “T’aint nothings heah. Ah reckons All’ll have tali dig.” Then Marthy dug a small hole and exclaimed, “Heah am dat treasure, all in a box. Hold yoah candle still, Chloe, Ah’s gwine open it.” “Hold et up more high,” said Chloe, “so dat Ah kin see.” Then the two old women had the greatest sur¬ prise of their lives. In that small box lay a neat leather bound edition of that popular knovel called “Buried Treasure.” “Wall, ain’ dat scramfunctuous,” said Marthy. “Shore is,” answered Chloe. ROSA AGUIRRE, ’26. (Junior Story) P ETE loved old Finnegan, but certainly no one else did, and Fin¬ negan loved no one at all. Finnegan, the sole survivor of a setting of Rhode Island Reds, did not deserve such a reputation if out¬ ward appearances counted, for lie was as handome a rooster as will he found anywhere. His comb was large and straight, his tail feathers curled just so and his head was carried high and proudly. These were all that was in his favor, for he was the autocrat of the barnyard and the mortal enemy of every human being. Pete McCarthy, handy man around the place, was the only person who dared come near that lord of the land, and only the heavy clothing he wore protected him from many vicious pecks. As for the rest of the family, the very name of Finnegan was a red flag of danger. Little Jack Craigdon looked forward to that glorious day when he could march into the barnyard and really fight Finnegan, but now he was content to gaze at a distance. In fact, he could be brought to terms on any misdemeanor by the threat of being put in with Finnegan if he “wasn’t good.” Mrs. Craigdon said little about Finnegan at first, just avoided him. But one day he flew at her and tore a hole in her best dress. That day the anti Finnegans received a new supporter. Bridget, the cook, hated Finnegan as thoroughly as Pete loved him. Time and again she declared, “I wouldn’t go near the baste of a creature for Lord himself, unless it was to put him in a kettle. Sure lie’s too tough for a roast.” Many solutions to the problem were offered, but Pete rejected them all. “Pen him up,” Mrs. Craigdon suggested and received the indig¬ nant reply, — 24 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 “No mum, that wouldn’t do, mum. He protects the flock and warns them when the hawks come, mum,” and so he won that point. But not so with Bridget. She would accept no compromise and almost daily demanded that lie he killed. “I’d do it myself, but he’d kill me first,” she would declare. So in the house, Pete had no pleasure. He had to stand the oppos¬ ition of the whole family, but n the barnyard he was happy, enjoying the company of his pet all the more because of the opposition against him. It was Pete who taught Finnegan to fight by teasing him with his foot. All his spare time he spent teaching tricks and, at two years of age, Finnegan was as thoroughly a fighting cock as Pete’s patience could make him. Next to caring for Finnegan, Pete loved to boast of his prowess to Hal Rooney, his croney, who claimed that Blacky, his black, Minorca, could fight any rooster living. Together they crowed over tlieir respect¬ ive cocks as they sat in the doorway of Hal’s house. “I tell you, Blacky is the best rooster living. Yer Finnegan don’t stand a show with him,” boasted Hal, one quiet sultry day, as they leaned back their chairs and smoked their pipes. “Now I tell yer, yer all wrong, Hal,” broke in Pete, “and this is why. Did you ever see an Irishman give out! No. Well, Finnegan’s Irish all over. His name’s Irish and his color, red, takes the place of an Irishman’s red hair, and, above all, lie’s got an Irish temper. Oh yes, he’ll fight like an Irishman and win. “You’re jest imaginin’ that, Pete,” answered Hal, testily. “Blacky may be black, but lie’s Irish at heart, and that’s what counts.” “You’re all wrong, Finnegan’s the best.” “Blacky’s the best, I tell ye. Yer old cock’s just full of bluff and show. I wouldn’t have him fer a million,” replied Hal hotly. “You, you,” Pete fairly choked with rage. “Listen here. I bet you all my next week’s wages Finnegan can beat that fool Blacky to death, and I hope he kills him.” “All right, if yer want ter lose yer wages, all right, I can spend a little more. Here comes the colonel. Let’s get him to hold stakes. Then watch yer old Finnegan get beat,” crowed Hal. As these two friends sat wrangling and quarreling, old Colonel Simpson, veteran G. A. R. man, came limping down the street. At the call of, “Hey, Colonel,” he turned, and stumped toward the Rooney cot¬ tage and called, “Wliat do you two hot headed fools want this time?” The colonel could well be cautious as to what he joined in with Hal and Pete, for he could remember his former experiences. It had not been very long ago when they had hauled him from his bed at midnight to accompany them in an exploration of a haunted house, because he was not afraid of ghosts and would frighten away the spirits. And the last time was worse than that. The two had an argument over the size of a half tamed horse’s hoof and they asked the Colonel to hold him while they made an examination. The horse did not like that meddling and — 25 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 broke away, kicking the Colonel over as he did so. The Colonel ruefully pointed out the bruises even now. So he had a good reason to be careful. “It is not anything hard this time, Colonel, jest to hold as stakes Pete’s and my week’s wages, till Blacky beats Finnegan all to pieces.” answered Hal. “No, until Finnegan wins, Colonel, ’till Finnegan wins,” inter¬ rupted Pete angrily. “Surely, I’ll hold them for you. What did you say the stakes was! Your week’s wages ' ?” asked the obliging Colonel. “No, they’re not,” came a sudden voice fom the doorway, and Pete hesitatingly said, ”Er, Bridget I, I’ll win an’ you’ll be able to have a new dress fer Sunday. Come Bridget, come now” wheedlingly. But Bridget spoke up uncompromisingly, ‘‘Ye’ll do nothing of the kind while I have anything to say about it.” ‘‘Nor will you, either, Hal Rooney,” added Martha. The sight of the two portly women, sleeves rolled above their arms, hands on hips and good natured faces set in lines of determination, quite discomfited the luckless husbands. ‘‘Well, maybe we could bet somethin’ else. I’ll bet ye my pocket knife that Finnegan can beat Blacky. Does that suit you, Bridget?” asked Pete, looking at his wife helplessly. So the bargain was cinched, pocket knife for pocket knife, and the men wandered off to make their plans. How they looked forward to that fight and surely they were not disappointed in the start. The cheering and shouting of the men only served to excite the birds all the more, and flapping their wings and fly¬ ing) jumping, pecking and rushing, the fight continued thick and fast. Back in Matha’s kitchen, the two women plotted some way to stop the fight, and fate came to their aid. Pal, the Colonel’s big playful collie jumped right into the ring and teased those roosters until they deserted their own fight and joined forces, against a common enemy. Then Pete and Hal joined in the fight, but Pal only grew the more play¬ ful, the more mischievous and would not be stopped. Finally between cocks, men and sticks, he was caught and taken away in disgrace. Once freed of Pal, Finnegan and Blackey started at each other again, though panting and tired. Then Bridget had an ideal, a great idea. She sent word to Pete that his cow was in the sheriff’s corn, Pete gabbed Finnegan and ran for home. That ended the fight but Pete told Hal, ‘‘Wait until the next time Hal Rooney.” Once in the barn yard, Pete put down Finnegan and turned to care for Prince. The lust of battle was still on Finnegan’s brain and he instantly flew wildly at Pete several times and at last gave him a sharp vicious peck on the hand. With a roar of rage and pain, Pete grabbed the axe and brought it down on the cocks handsome head. — 26 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 “There, ye’ll cause me no more trouble or pain, 1 bad enough and I won’t stand it,” and with the rooster slung over bis shoulder be tramped into the kitchen, flung it down on the table and growled, “Here’s something for dinner to-morrow, ain’t supper ready yet?” And the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. HUBERT KELLY, ’24. The Speeder Long years ago, in days of old, When speeders were considered bold, A boy who still was young and green Could burn up lots of gasoline. He did not fear, so folks aver, To speed through town at sixty per. He was so clever for a time He was not fined a single dime. But times have changed without a doubt Though other boys still speed about. But here’s the difference — note it well; There is another tale to tell; The Speed Cop waits at every turn For him who has much gas to burn. The boy who shows how good he feels By turning corners on two wheels, Will find as sure as he is born The judge will give him cause to mourn. If you can’t tell just “where you’re at” Until you mash some fellow flat, You’d better price your boat for sale, Than spend at least ten days in jail. The moral is — now get it straight — If you go speeding soon or late, You’d better learn before you pass, 4 6 Step on the brake and not the gas!” HAROLD WAY. — 27 — Nightmare (Sophomore Story) Y STORY is not the result of an inspiration, it is merely the “birth of a notion” and a story of cheese. Scene: Anywhere in Switzerland. Time: Any old time. Story: By no one in particular. Admiral Bologna of the Swiss Navy paced the deck of the flagship “Sinkorswim.” These lace pirates were altogether too bold. Curses! But we would see, Admiral Bologna was not a man to be trifled with. He would order the fleet (consisting of the Sinkorswim and two row¬ boats) to sea the very next day to beard the pirate in his den. The sun rose from the east in the morning. Strange but true. The Admiral came out on the deck from his cabin and stood on the bridge— of his nose. The fleet set sail the bold pirates to capture. Swiftly down Lake Geneva sailed the armada. Far down the Lake a rakish raft (they always are rakish in melodrama). It flew the flag of its profession. The skull and crossbones shone bravely in face of the Admiral’s fleet. The pirate craft was by far the speediest of the two and when they —the pirates—started to flee, Admiral Bologna saw fame and fortune fleeing with them. Ah—great men arise in any crisis. When Jolly Mike saw the pirates with their speedy craft, loaded with the finest lace in all Swit¬ zerland getting away, he approached the Admiral. “Sire”, said he, “the enemy is far the faster craft. We must use brains!” “Ho, ho” the Admiral cried, “I suppose you can help the dilemma.” “I can, by heck,” the jolly tar said, “Let us put some of the rare cheese on the nose of our craft and draw them within our range.” The Admiral gasped at the fellow’s nerve, but he saw that action was essential. A few brisk commands and a huge hunk of hilarious cheese was put on the prow. The pirates resisted temptation bravely, but the cheese was too much. They fell. Soon they were prisoners and the Admiral promised to divide the spoils among his gallant crew. Gosh! Time for school! Have I been dreaming all this! What won’t rampant imagination do, but then there is a moral:—Never eat Swiss cheese before bedtime, especially if you are looking for an in¬ spiration for English class.

Young EDITORIALS O NCE again the Enterprise makes its bow to the public. We have endeavored to make this year’s edition, more than ever an expres¬ sion of student life and activity. Self expression has been the keynote of this year’s work in the High School. It is at the same time a goal towards which we are all working. And it is oui’ fervent hope that in the coming year every student shall find some definite work in some vitally important activity within the school which will promote the gen¬ eral welfare and onward growth of P. H. S. At last we have the new gym. The waiting is all over and we now are provided with our own floor for dances. This will save a gieat deal of money for the classes. It furnishes also a first class basket¬ ball court, the best in this section. We haven’t used it yet, but the season is rolling around. Then the rest of the year we shall have a regular gym with lots of room, a real necessity in winter. And nov that this is accomplished, we are going to voice another hop — a cinder track for P. H. S. — 29 — The Student Body President ...— Clifford Hoffman Secretary of Interior ....- Pearl Foster Secretary of Social Affairs .-.-. Elina Barry Secretary of State ....

Much has been accom¬ plished and much lias been revealed that remains for future Student Body organizations to accomplish. We have but blazed the trail in new ventures and have been happy to have contributed something to the development of democratic student government. In Administration, Social, Athletic and Dramatic affairs, in fact- in every phase of Student Body activity, we feel that we have taken a step forward. A further adaptation of the jury system to our Student Control, discussed at length elsewhere in this issue of the Enterprise, has brought Student government closer to the rank and file of students and made it a more effective instrument. In Athletics we have had a remarkable year, — two great achieve¬ ments, namely, the winning of the N. W. L. of the C. I. F. in track, and the N. W. L. in baseball, crowning the long series of victories for the year. As this issue is going to press there is every indication that we can win the State Championship in baeball. In Dramatics we have had greater expression and more wide spread participation than ever before. In social affairs we have met problems and solved them by extending the functions of the Student Control Committee to include that of social mentor. In closing my term in office I wish to thank the student body offic¬ ers, faculty and students for their co-operation and support in making this year a success for P. II. S. CLIFFORD HOFFMAN, S. B. P. — 31 — THE CABINET Student Control HE Student Control which is the law making and law enforcing body in our school, is under the Department of the Interior. Altlio A our Student Control is far from perfection and from what we wish it to he, yet it is making notable progress along democratic lines, and at the present time is one of the most efficient in the state. Through some reforms this year such as the trial by jury of one’s peers, we have been able to prove that our aim is justice to all. The jury consists of twelve members; six Students at large serving only one day and six chosen from the Student Control Directors, (twelve Directors are selected by the Secretary of the Interior from the various classes at the first of the year.) The jury has the power to decide whether the Defendant is innocent or guilty and to suggest sentence to the Judge. The Defendant may choose any student to plead his case, and thus insure him a fair trial. There are two committees within the Student Control — the Law and Order Commission, and the Advertising and Improvement Com¬ mission. Law and Order... Floyd Wright (chairman) Evelyn Steitz, Elma Barry, Clifford Hoffman, Edmund Turner Advertising and Improvement Commission: Edward Frasier (chairman), Aileen Beck, Henry Siess, Doris Plummer, Clyde Robertson, Luciene Lebarli. The work, of the Law and Order Commission is two fold; first to provide for the enforcement of all laws; and secondly to arrange for trial procedure. We realize that any opposition to Student Control is due to lack of knowledge of its work, and through the Advertising and Improvement Commission we trust that all may come to recognize and appreciate the work of the Student Control. The Student Control exerts a silent influence over the students in many cases, such as conduct in Assemblies and at school games, which accomplishes more than many laws. As far as possible we try to be an advising and directing Board, not a coui ' t for offenders. We wish to express our appreciation to the teachers, the students, the parents, and especially to our Principal for the support given us and it is our hope that in the years to come the Student Control may become such a factor for good in Petaluma High School that all may look proudly hack upon the organization which was practically in its infancy in Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three. PEARL FOSTER, Secretary of the Interior. — 33 — Girls’ League T HE Girls’ League, which was organized in Petaluma High School two years ago, has successfully completed another year’s work. The League was organized for the purpose of promoting the inter¬ est of the school and to develop the co-operation and good fellowship among the girls. The officers for this year were:— President . Evelyn Steitz Vice President. Natalie Lapike Secretary-Treasurer... Ester Maack Chairman Interscliolastic Committee.. Opal Cree Chairman of Social Service ... Margaret Meecham The planning of the Girls’ Rest Room was started early in the year, during which an old rug campaign took place. In the spring the Rest Room was finished, being completely furnished, mainly due to the sup¬ port of the Board of Education, for which the Girls’ League is very grateful. Two “at home” receptions were given to the mothers, the first in the fall, when a musical program was furnished by Miss Hinckley, and the second in May, when Miss Agar presented a play, “Enter Dora, Exit Dad.” Tea was served after each program, by the girls. About the most successful social event during the year, was the dinner given to the cast of the High School play. Entertainment was furnished between courses, after which all adjourned to the Senior Dance. Several speakers were secured to speak to the girls. Mrs. Phillips spoke twice, once on Books, and another time on Libraries. Bill Milner also spoke to the girls on Banking.. Miss Jones, the school nurse, gave a talk on nursing. Mrs. Frank Greene spoke on H. G. Wells. So, altogether, the Girls’ League has had a very successful year in Petaluma High School. T HE AOKIYA CAMP FIRE was organized in October, 1922, under the leadership of Miss Adams. At present they lead the other groups in the high rank, of the girls. They gave a party for poor children at Christmas, told stories to to the Day Nursery Kiddies and put on two programs for the P. T. A. At present they are planning a large card party at the Woman’s Club to earn money for their summer camp which will be held for one glori¬ ous week in June. — 34 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 The Tatapochon Camp Fire was organized in October as were the other groups. They are the money getters of the school for they have earned more money than any other group so far. They also know how to work, for they sold candy for wounded soldiers, aided the Boy Scouts in their P. T. A. program, gave a party for poor children, organized a group of Camp Fire girls in the Junior High, and a group of Bluebird at the Grammar Schools. The Spirit of Walielo, an original play by Mable Martin seemed their best accom¬ plishment. Their leader is Miss Hodgehead. The Lewa Camp Fire was organized also in October under the leadership of Miss Hesse. They have worked steadily and hard, ac¬ complishing many things. It is not strange that they are modest of the results of ther labors, hesitating about telling them. Is it not enough to say that they have the true spirit of working together and follow closely the aims and ideals of the Camp Fire! Booster Club HE BOOSTER CLUB has lived up to its name and traditions this year. It has been peculiarly fortunate in its membership — only live wires have been enrolled and with the inauguration of the regularly scheduled meetings during the activity period, the attendance has been all that could be desired. Not only has enthusiasm and pep been evidenced in the meetings but the club has made this spirit contagious — largely through the rallies given for the various athletic events. The rallies this year have been well planned and put over in a “pepfull” way. The Booster Club has also given several delightful feeds for the various teams, celebrat¬ ing either a victory or the close of a successful season. The member¬ ship of the club is as follows: Alvin Agnew Ailleen Beck, Fred Ellsworth Paula Staton Nanette Liebert Eleanor Phillips Roy Raymond Frances Rundall Dooley Ryan Henry Frates Elizabeth Stradling Helen Ross Lowell Braden Oliver Blackburn Mabel Jrgensen Natalie Lapike Dorothy Williams Gertrude Rennison Clyde Robertson Ed Frasier Clifford Hoffman Doris Hopkins Pauline Hyatt Fred Farquar Pearl Foster Roland Brooks Lucille Mahoney Harold Farquar Lois Hainmell Lucien Libarle Marion Waterhouse Earl Tibbitts Opal Cree Ed Turner Henry Siess Margaret Mecliain Evelyn Stietz Lois Sanderson Duncan Olmsted Anderson Peoples Bernice Wright Betty Stackhouse Adelina Buckett Henry Eglight Harry Ruby Elwood Potter Wilma Ott Billy Ward — 35 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 As chairman of the Booster Club I wish to thank the members of the Club and Faculty for their wonderful co-operation and enthusiasm shown throughout the year. ELMA BARRY, Secretary. Honor Society T HE HONOR SOCIETY committee, composed of Henrv Siess, Aileen Beck, Duncan Olmsted, Eva Hillis and Ruth Benson, has _ Ih® past year worked hard to put the Society on a firm basis First, we raised the standards slightly. We then decided that if the school belonged to the state Scholarship Federation, and honor stud¬ ents could receive the federation seal embossed on their diplomas and college recommendations, there would be a greater incentive for attain¬ ing membership. So we sent our application to the federation, but the constitution was sent back, to be revised. We revised it and it now re¬ mains to be seen whether or not our present constitution will be ac¬ cepted. We have made out records of all students now attending P. H. S., who have ever been on the Honor Roll showing when they belonged, ' — 36 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 to make it simpler to find out who have earned Honor Seals. As our constitution stands now, an A gives three honor points and B one honor point in a whole credit subject and in a half credit subject, A gives one honor point and B one-lialf point. Ten honor points are required for membership. If a person is a member during two-tliirds of his attendance at high school, he is entitled to an Honor Seal on his diploma and college recommendation. There has been some criticism that the standard of our society is too high, but we do not feel it advisable to take any steps backward. We want the standard high enough so that it will mean much to belong to the Honor Society of Petaluma High. T HE Athletic Honor Society of Petaluma High has passed through its infancy. It has found a worthy place in the High School life and is claiming more attention. With its added prominence has come the necessity for making the requirements of membership more strict than they have hitherto been. With this end in view a committee was appointed to revise the constitution of the society; the committee has not yet made its full report—so with this issue of the Enterprise we cannot publish the revised constitution. Howeve r, the indications are that the requirement for the winning of the block “P” in track will be more strict than formerly. The spirit and purpose of the society is to create better sportsmanship and cleaner athletics; sportsmanship is the one thing that makes a contest of any sort worth while. This year has been a wonderful year in athletics for P. H. S. and as a result there are many new members of the Block “P” Society. The officers are: President ... Clifford Hoffman, all star. Vice-President ..... Fred Ellsworth, track. Secretary . Clyde Robertson, track. The members are: Bob Dickson, track; Sam Harris, track; George Studdert, track; Duncan Olmsted, track; Beckford Young, track; Prank Studdert, baseball; Lowell Braden, baseball; Henry Frates, baseball; Geo. Silva, baseball; Henry Eglight, baseball; “Mickey ’’ Clark, base¬ ball; Fred Farquar, baseball; Melvin Del Maestro, baseball; Bob Sob- eranes, baseball; “Modi” Luchessi, baseball; Arthur Tobin, baseball; Fred Billings, basketball; Harry Johnson, basketball; Ed Frasier, all star. CLYDE ROBERTSON, Secretary. —37 Radio Club T HE Petaluma Radio Club was organized shortly after the schools were opened in August, 1922. The purpose of this club is to pro¬ mote interest and knowledge in radio. The officers elected for the first term of three months were: Pres¬ ident, Frank Nickson; Vice-preident, Alvin Koster; Treasurer, Frank McCullough; Secretary, Carleton Spridgen and Traffic Manager, Don¬ ald De Neuf. The same officers were elected for the next term. Mr. Young, of the P. H. S. Faculty, acts as advisor to the club. Membership to the club is not limited to High School students, and any one who is interested in radio may join. It was the plan of the club to secure as many authorities on radio as possible to speak before it. The first lecture was delivered by Dr. Lippincott of San Francisco, the second by Mr. Ellory W. Stone of the Radio Corporation of America and the third by Mr. E. M. Dargent of Oakland. All of these talks were well attended and we received a great deal of information and many new ideas. We hope to have lectures from time to time. Code practice is held every Monday evening at the High School under the direction of Mr. Young. The regular business meetings are held every Wednesday evening at the same place. After the business is transacted, a general dicussion on radio takes place. Everyone is cordially invited to attend the meetings and lectures, and there is no doubt but that the following year will find the member¬ ship in the Petaluma Radio Club greatly increased. CARLETON SPRIDGEN, 23. Saludos! de “El Casino ” T HE Spanish Club was formed for the purpose of fostering a wider interest in the Spanish language and to acquire a better knowledge of it. At the first meeting March 29, the following officers were elected. President . Pearl Olmsted Vice-President.Aileen Beck Secretary . Josephine Potter Programs have been given at the meetings. It is hoped that these meetings will make the Spanish language become of more interest among the high school students.

HEN members of local teams went to Stanford-California games and came home filled with admiration for the rooting section of the colleges, the question arose, “Why can’t we have an organ¬ ized rooting section?” In answer to that question came the Organized Rooting Section of P. H. S. This body is composed of nearly every boy in school, the entry requirements being, loyalty, a good booster, and school spirit. The fellows showed unusual interest in the movement and were noticeably present at the peppiest rallies, the best games, and all school activities that needed the support of student body. The meetings of 0. R. S. are held twice a month. At these meetings plans are made for all future activities and yell practice is held. The support of teams has improved over previous years and the school as a whole is better and it is the fellows of 0. R. S. who deserve part of the credit. They have worked hard and it is their hope that each succeeding year will see a bigger and better school, even as their oganization will progress. —39 — Lois Sanderson (Pres.)

Helen Towne, Helen Hussey The Girl’s League Association was organized last fall to take charge of the Girls’ Athletics and to promote more interest in athletics. Any girl with 100 or more points won by being on a class team is elegible for membership. The various sports that we have had this year are tennis, basket ball, baseball and hiking. Next year we hope to include swimming and hockey. The numeral system was re-arranged so that in addition to team numerals, (100 points to each member of the class team and 200 points to each member of the winning team) there are the circle P (600 points) the winged P (900 points), and the combination block P (1200 points). So far this year there has been awarded the circle and winged P to Nonnie Stackhouse, Bernice Wright and Lois Sanderson. On January the members of the G. A. A. and the girls with less than 100 points had a dinner. Miss Trueblood, Miss Hesse and Miss Hodgehead spoke on the sportsmanship and the athletics of our school and showed that the faculty and the Girl’s League were behind us in our work. In all we had a very successful year and we hope that girls’ ath¬ letics will soon take a prominent part in the high school girl’s life. — 40 — Junior Farm Center OFFICERS: Julien Giraud... Director Anthony Frates . Vice Director Malcolm Johnson .----- Treasurer Henry Frates . Secretary The membership of the Junior Farm Center of the Petaluma High School is drawn from the students taking agricultural work. This center is one of four centers which compose the Junior Department of the Sonoma Co. Farm Bureau. The following program of work for 1922-23 school year was adopted at the first meeting last August. 1. Stock judging teams for the County Fair, State Fair and the Davis Conference. 2. Leadership of the calf, potato, and poultry clubs. 3. Annual bean feed for Club members. 4. Parent-Pupil Day. 5. Athletics. The most outstanding piece of work this past year was the work undertaken by the potato club. The boys tested out a new variety of potatoes and the use of an organic fertilizer. When the results are tabulated we believe a contribution worth while will be available for the local potato growers. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Two of the Aggie boys, George Silva and Louis Benson are honor roll students. Henry Frates, George Silva, and Mickey Clark are on the baseball squad. Sam Harris and Anthony Frates represent us on the track. Harold Enzler, Louis Benon, Ed. Tomrose and Walter Peterson are trying out for the band. The following class projects have been accomplished: Concrete driveways for the school busses, the cement walk north of the school, the reinforced curbing and roof over the school well and the fight against the slugs and bugs in the school garden. Our organization is financed by 25 cents dues per month per member and the giving each fall of an entertainment. Our athletic teams were good representative teams and put up fast snappy games. Our center is now looking forward to a bigger and better year with the opening of the fall term. — 41 — Biology Club A Biology Club is a new thing in P. H. S. It lias only been organized for one quarter but we are “sure up and doing.’ A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and the officers for the term were elected and installed as follows: Pauline Hyatt. President Josephine Potter .... Doris Hopkins Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter . Charlotte Potter . Kate Brown. Two flower shows were given by the club. The first show was given in March beginning Tuesday, March 6 and ending Friday, March 9. It was in charge of Carolyn Thorsen and was a display of 40 dif¬ ferent kinds of early spring flowers. At the next display beginning Tuesday, April 23, and ending Friday, April 27, 70 different kinds of flowers were shown. Mary Cappella was in charge of this exhibit. Much interest was shown by the High School students, and a few town people also enjoyed the second display. We also accepted the invitation of the College Women’s Club Spring Flower Show to send wild flowers to their flower show given in Berkeley, May 3 and 4. We sent quite a number of flowers and were delighted to have the opportunity to do so. Mary Cappella deserves special mention for the number of flowers she brought in. We have decided that each year the club should decide on some topic to discuss during the meetings. This year we decided to study the life and work of men famous in Biology. We hope that next year many more people will join our Club. KATIE BROWN, Club Reporter. French Club HE French Club is a new organization in the school this semester. It’s purpose is to bring the students together outside of class for the purpose of singing French songs, playing French games, and conversation in the language. The meetings are conducted almost entirely in French, and membership in the club is open to all those en¬ rolled in French classes, excluding those doing first semester work. Officers for the semester are Lucien Libarle, president, and Evelyn Steitz, secretary. Plans have been made for a feed at one of the meetings, and for a party to be given at the home of the members toward the. close of the term. Due to its recent organization the work of the club has been greatly limited this semester, but the members expect to accomplish much during the new school year. — 42 — Commercial Department LICK! Click! the typewriters go! Miss Allen informs me the class is taking a speed test. When she asks for results in a hun¬ dred per cent, one minute test, I pretty nearly fall through the floor when different ones say: “59-57-60-54-89” and to think that 89 net words were written by a Freshman! Just imagine writing that many words without a mistake! The word “Mistake” sounds funny there, but sometimes it is just misplacing of the finger an inch too high, too low, or too far to one side. The same Freshman writes 66 net words per minute in a 10-minute test — the record for the year. It must be remembered that ten perfectly good words are sacrificed every time a mistake is made. And still another record was made by a Freshman, 44 words a minute for 15 minutes without an error. Talking about typists, well we surely have some speedy ones this year. In all 90 students have been awarded medals or certificates by Miss Allen and Miss Bagley, for speed and accuracy on the typewritten The speed varies from 25 to 50 words a minute and the awards have been gven as follows, for 30, 40 and 50 words for 10 and 15 minutes, Several of the pupils hold certificates on each of our three makes of machines. I have heard of people aiming at the stars and lighting on the telegraph poles, but the Speeders aren’t going to aim at diamonds and light on silver medals. That is their next goal. A diamond medal is for 130 net words per minute. Going some, I’ll say. Writing for speed tests is not all they do, as the class always types the parts for the plays, the material that is sent to be printed in the Enterprise and Enterprisette, as well as material for Parent- Teachers Association and anything that goes for a good cause. In short, it might be called a small printing office. ’Nuff sed for the typists. Now we shall have to go and see about the bookkeepers. Not a sound—maybe they’re all gone or there isn’t a class this period. We are surprised to see them all busy working on their books. Supposing we ask the first boy how he is getting along ? He says, “Oh, if I could only find $60 somewhere.” I guess he will find it somewhere — if he works hard enough. Well, here’s a girl, she looks busy. And she informs us that she is making a trial balance. Better let her alone as it is her job and I am not especially fond of making a trial balance. Mr. Way has some very good bookkeepers. I shan’t take the time to name each one per¬ sonally altlio I should like to, as they deserve praise, and I should like to have them tell you more about the bookkeeping but their bosses, Messrs. Keeland Munson might not like to have us interrupt, as they are getting $60 a month and they might not earn their wages. We’ll go scouting into the shorthand room now and watch the stenogs. 43 THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 Who’s that talking so rapidly? On opening the door we hear Miss Bagley dictating at break-neck speed while each member of the class is making his or her hand fly. When she finishes she asks one of the girls to read and the pupil reads hack as unconcernedly as if she had taken shorthand all her life. It surely is funny how some people would rather do shorthand than eat. Some merchant from down town has ’phoned that he lias some extra work and so two ar three of the girls are appointed to go for prac¬ tical experience. We ran to the doors thinking that there was an earth¬ quake but Miss Bagley laughingly informs us that the commotion is caused by the girls’ fright. She knows that they are capable, so she doesn’t let them off in spite of their pleading. I’ll give you my experience the first time I was sent to take dicta¬ tion, as I believe all have the same feeling. The teacher told me that I was to go to Mr. So and So and take a few letters from him. When I got to his place of business I told him that it was the first time I had been sent to face the music and was just hoping that he didn’t have any letters. He laughed and looked in a wire basket where he kept papers, evidently letters to be answered, while all the time I sat trying to grip a slippery neversharp, waiting for him to commence to talk. But to my delight, as well as my comfort, he quietly told me that lie would let me off easy as there weren’t any letters. He could have made up one, but he felt sorry for me so he let me go. I went back to class feeling very jubilant to think I didn’t have to do anything. Well, next time I surely got my foot into it as I went to a different place, and say, it took me from about ten o’clock a. m. until one-tliirty p. m. with only about 20 minutes off for lunch. You must surely see I’m no union woman. Anyway I had to get back to school hence I left two or three. My, I have taken all your time now and haven’t told about any of the other commercial subjects such as: Law, Geography, Arithmetic, English, Penmanship and Spelling, but all of these are to be taken in the course. The main subjects of the Commercial Department are Bookkeeping, Stenography and Typewriting. I must leave school now as it is getting late, but next year another student will try to tell you what has been accomplished as the prospects look very bright and I expect to see Petaluma High walk away with more medals, records, certificates and honorable mentions than ever before in all it history. VIVIAN RAY. — 44 — Dramatics i 61 1 ETALUMA STRAIGHT AHEAD” has seemed to be the mot- I-to this year for P. H. S. Dramatics. Never in our history has • there been a more successful year. The fall school work was enlivened by rallies for games, and stunts with real acting in them were staged. The big event was the “Charm School” given in the high school auditorium December 7 and 8. The Charm School is a fascinating little comedy-drama by Alice Duer Miller. It is full of amusing situ¬ ations and the dialogue is sparkling and clever. The plot which is original and well developed involves the escapades of several charming girls who are seeking knowledge in a young ladies’ seminary. Compli¬ cations arise when the hero, an adventure-loving youth, seeking a job and a career, arrives on the scene to manage the school, which has been willed to him. His idea as to what constitutes the real purpose of educa- ton furnishes material for a comedy of great interest and amusement. The play was well adapted to the High School talent and was presented with exceptional skill and excellence. The cast was ably coached by Miss Lucy Agar. The following is the cast Austin Bevins.

At least, we hope so. And we hope our criticisms are — A helping their school annuals to become better. Although more ex¬ changes were expected, and we wish to thank the schools who were so courteous and sent their exchanges so promptly. ADVANCE, Areata. The printing sp oils your book. UKIAH, Ukiah. It is unusual to have the editorial before the Faculty and Seniors, but it serves its purpose here. The printing in your book is poor. THE TOKAY, Lodi. One of the best books we received. No criticism. REVIEW, Sacramento. Your 1923 edition is much better than your 1922 edition. “As We Have Known Them” is something new and is very clever. LOWELL, Lowell High, San Francisco. From its attractive ap¬ pearance you would think it would be more interesting. CAP AND SEAL, San Francisco Hospital. One of the most in¬ teresting books we received. THE OAK, Visalia. We suggest that you have the Literary de¬ partment before the Alumni and Athletics department. BREATH OF OCEAN, Fort Bragg. Your book is arranged nicely. THE ECHO, Santa Roa. Y r ou have a good athletic department. CHANTICLEER, Dixon. It’s small but every page is interesting. Greetings from The Alumni The Alumni Association is organized to keep an interest in High School affairs. By means of a reunion once a year we are able to pro¬ mote a feeling of friendship. The first class to graduate from the Petaluma High School was in 1875 and our oldest Aumnus, Mr. Ed. Hedges, is a graduate of that class. Since then many have graduated and ae scattered far and wide. We get letters from Alaska in the north to El Pasa, Texas in the south; from the Atlantic sea coast and even across the seas in England, Scot- land and Paris. However whether it be Professor Hutton’s class of 1880, Mr. W. S. Thomas’ class of 1900 or B. H. Painter’s class of 1920 the love and loy¬ alty to the P. H. S. is just the same.

At the beginning of the year we faced the difficulty of disorgan¬ ized teams and listless spirit n the Student Body. The students faced this fact squarely, realized the situation and by a series of rallies and interest-creating activities brought back the dormant spirit and the old Pep of Petaluma High School. The teams felt the contagion of the enthusiasm, stopped their one man games and individual playing and became units of perfectly work¬ ing machinery. FOOTBALL The season opened auspiciously with the major sport of foot ball and the practice games promised an interesting bunch of battles in the League. The first practice game was with Hitchcock on Sept. 23. The acad¬ emy team had the edge on Petaluma in reputation and experience but the metal of the Petaluma team showed itself when the fellows held their unbeaten opponent to a tie score of 6 to 6. Encouraged with the result of this game the team went up against Tamalpais on Sept. 30. The contest was a poor exhibition of football, and the game was marked by fumbles and poor plays. Petaluma s de¬ fensive was poor and Tamalpais piled up 20 points and our team made nothing. The next game was with Analy on Oct. 7. This team showed less experience than Petaluma and the game was a walk away for oui team, the final score being 89 to nothing. The contest was of value, however, for practice and in the fact that it gave every man a part in the game The game with Santa Rosa Junior College on Oct. 11 was devoid of sensational plays and was rather slow on account of the slippery field. Santa Rosa made two touchdowns, Petaluma scored 1, and were on their way to another when the game ended. — 51 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 The last practice game was on Oct. 14 with Fort Bragg, and was nearly as great a walk away as the Analy game, Petaluma winning 82 to nothing. Fort Bragg was an unknown quantity to Petaluma and when they arrived and turned out to be big fellows, Petaluma got ready for a hard fight. In the first quarter we ran the score up to 26 to nothing. Altho it was not a hard victory, it was a good send off for the League games, the first of which was with Analy on Oct. 28. This game was played at Sebastopol and the Analy team went into the battle determined to wipe out her former defeat. The headway Analy had made in the few weeks between tli two games was amazing and she started well, putting through a touchdown in the first few minutes of play.—and leading Petaluma the first three quarters. The score at half time was 6 to nothing hut in the third quarter a fluke play netted Petaluma 6 and started them on the way to victory. Going like whirlwinds with a 70, a 60 and a 20 yard run, we came out 24-6 ahead of Analy and started the League with a win. The next game was on November 4 with Santa Rosa and was a disappointment to the Petaluma fans. This was the hardest game of the season, a fight from start to finish and marked by the exceptional playing of Petaluma’s back field. At quarter time the score was 13 to 0 in favor of Santa Rosa and at the half it was 13-6. Neither side scored after this and Petaluma did well to hold Santa Rosa down as there were no substitutes for the backfield, which was battered and tired, in fact so badly battered that the quarterback was not able to play again during the season. The third league game was at Napa on November 11 with Napa High. Petaluma lost both the game and her chance for a place in the League by a score of 52-0. The field was slippery and our fellows were not equipped with mud cleates and the men showed a lack of good training and experience. Napa had the dope on Petaluma every way. The local hoys fum¬ bled and tried pass after pass but could not cut the cake. The last game was with Sail Rafael on November 20 on the local oval. A new coaching staff took charge of the team after the Napa game and showed the members what real teamwork was. In one week the team became an organized machine, able to defeat San Rafael by a score of 36-14. Petaluma was able to complete plays she never could make be- bore, to buck and pass successfully. The score at half time was 6-0 and at the end of the third quarter was 18-7. The game was full of spectacular plays and runs. The line-up for most of the games was as follows: Fullback ...

Tibbitts, Ruby, Swyers, Chapman, Bergstedt Delmaestro BASKET BALL The basketball season tho apparently not as successful as football, due largely to the fact that the two seasons overlapped, was valuable in that it discovered and developed new material. The first practice games were with Tomales High on Dec. 14, and although we had no teams picked as yet, we were easily able to defeat Tomales 66-30 in the unlimited game, and 56-6 in the 130 pound. In the second games with Analy High on Dec. 12 the tables were turned and we were defeated by scores of 39-4 in the 130 pound game and 39-27 in the unlimited. We played Sonoma High third and by this time the first teams were picked out but were not able to ward off defeat. The 130 pound team lost by a score of 52-20 and the unlimited 30-18. The last practise game was on Jan. 30 with Lowell High. The Lowel unlimited team was a fast one with a good reputation, but ours was a little faster and we won with a score of 27-25. We lost the 130 pound game, however, with a score of 28-19. The league games started on January 26 when we played our fist games with Sonoma. Petaluma won the unlimited game by a score of 25-19 but lost the 130 pound 27-31. We were scheduled to play Analy next but Analy forfeited. The games with Healdsburg were not played either as Healdsburg had no team. The games with Santa Rosa on January 23 were both unlucky for us as Santa Rosa had the edge on us and won the unlimited game 15-10 and the 130 pound game 15-9. The last league games of the season were with Geyserville and Cloverdale on Fbruary 3. The unlimited team played Geyserville and won by a score of 42-10. The ISO’s played Cloverdale and lost 21-20. The members of the 130 pound team were: 130 Pound Unlimited F. Billings, Jones and Lloyd. F. Frasier, Hoffman and Bravo C. Soberanes and McAllister C. Robertson and Young G. Studdert and Sjosten G. Farquar, Johnson, Delmaestro Substitutes: Elgiglit, Vogensen. — 54 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 55 THE ENTERPRISE 7 3 BASEBALL The baseball season lias been a series of triumphs for Petaluma. In spite of having a newly organized team, consisting mostly of fresh¬ men, we have not lost a game up to date. We were very fortunate in new men, who, after a little practice, were able to fill the vacancies left by the old “vets.” The first game was with San Rafael on the local diamond. The Petaluma fellows played fine ball and the game was somewhat lopsided our fellows winning by a score of 6-1. On March 10 Petaluma returned her visit to Port Bragg when the members of the team motored up and defeated the northern team in a close but unexciting game. The final score was Petaluma 9, Fort Bragg 8. The third game w as on our own diamond with Santa Rosa Junior College. This was another lopsided game with Petaluma on the high end. The score was Petaluma 8, Santa Rost Junior College 1. The next game was with Analv High on the home field. Again the fellows played good ball and came out winners 6-2. The last practice game was with Polytechnic of San Francisco. This was a fast and exciting game and we won by a score of 5-2. The first League game was with Healdsburg and although t was a slow game it w r as good batting practice for our team. AVe won by a score of 17-8. The next League game was with San Rafael on our home diamond. The Petaluma team played well and had the best of San Rafael at all times. A score of 13-6 was the result of the good playing. The game with Napa High was also played on our diamond and before a large crowd. This game was full of tense moments and fast and exciting plays but our fellows bested Napa by 3 runs and a score of 6-3. On April 19 we went to Sonoma and handed a defeat to the valley team. Sonoma played well and it looked for a while as if they might beat us, but no such luck for them. They were defeated by a score, 6-4. Petaluma played Santa Rosa on April 26 at home. This was a good game and full of thrills. Santa Rosa played hard but Petaluma easily won by a score of 8-5. May 3! This was the day we were to play Analv High for the championship of this section. The game was played at Santa Rosa and a great numbe r of rooters were present from the three cities. The two teams lined up evenly matched and struggled until dark¬ ness freed them to stop in the lltli inning and leave the game uncom¬ pleted with a tie score of 4-4. On May 8 the championship was decided. Analy came to our field and was defeated. A huge crowd was present and the excitement was running high. On the first inning each side brought in 5 runs. Analy did not make another after that but Petaluma made 4 more with the resulting score of 9-5. — 56 — Braden, Tibbetts, Young, Robertson, Hanner (Coach), Hoffman, Stewart, Flohr Newbegin, Bravo, Hagedohm, Harris, Ellsworth (Capt) Del Maestro, Coffey, Dickson Olmsted, Sjosten, Adams.

I. F. for Petaluma. On Friday, May 11, Petaluma met Fort Bragg, winner of the north¬ ern section of the championship of the N. W. L. Petaluma won this game, score 9 -2. The success of the season is in a large measure due to the fact that we were able to secure J. Flint Hanner, a splendid athlete and good sport, for our coach. Friday, May 12 — On this day we strove with Fort Bragg for League honors. The bleachers and side lines were crowded again and the two winning teams lined up for battle. After the game started Petaluma showed superiority at all times. Every member of the team played the game and played it well. Petaluma was victorious with a score of 9-2, winning the Championship of the North-Coast section of the N. W. L. The members of this championship team are: Pitchers, Henry Eglight (Captain), Henry Frates; Catcher, George Silva, 1st Base, Nunie Delmaestro; 2nd Base, Boh Soberanes; 3rd Base, Moch Luchessi; Shortstop, Art Tobin; Left Field, Fred Farquar; Cen¬ ter Field Frank Studdert; Right Field, Biff Hoffman; Right Field, Topsy Braden; Center Field, Mickey Clark.

So far our team has been undefeated in a dual meet and it is hoped that we will keep up our good work, and come out on top. The first meet was with Analy on April 10 and turned out suc¬ cessfully for us. As in nearly all the meets the field events brought us the largest number of points. The final score was 77 1-2 to 42 1-2. The next meet was with Lowell High on April 14 and we came out winners again with a score of 89 1-2 to 39 1-2. The third meet was the Analy Running Carnival on April 21, in which Analy, Napa, Santa Rosa and Petaluma participated. It seemed to be on off day for u and we came out on the tail end with Analy 1st, Santa Rosa 2nd and Napa 3rd. The next meet was the North Coast Section meet of the C. I. F. and was held at Stanford on April 28. Petaluma did not do exceptionally well, but we received ninth place out of all of the entrants from this section with a score of 11 points. The last meet was with Santa Rosa on May 4th. Again the fellows showed their superiority in a dual meet and won with a final score of 70-53. The next meet will he the Northwestern League at Healdsburg on May 12. Following are the members of the team: Captain Ellsworth, Hoffman, Bravo, Dickson, l r oung, Robertson, Delmaestro, Frates, Olmsted and Sjosten. — 58 — THE ENTERPRISE ’2 3 Fred Ellsworth, Frank Castagna, Hubert Kelly David Sweeney, Harold Way TENNIS Tennis deserves better support in Petaluma High School than it gets. The three members of the team cannot make the season success¬ ful without tli support of the student body and it is hoped that in fut¬ ure years the students will take more interest in this sport. The first league games were played with Sonoma on October 21, but the opposing team proved to be better than ours and took the first singles, and doubles making it unnecessary to play the second singles. The scores were 6-1, 6-3, for the singles, 6-3, 6-3 for the doubles. The last tournament of the fall season was with Analy on Nov. 4, and Petaluma lost again. Analy’s man beat ours in the singles 8-6, 4-6, 12-10; and they de¬ feated our doubles players 6-3, 6-4. Petaluma’s fall team consisted of Ellsworth, who played singles, and Way and Sweeney, who played doubles. The league games of the spring season were with Analy on April 7 and Sonoma on May 5. Petaluma won the Analy tournament but the scores are not avail¬ able. We lost the Sonoma tournament. The last tournament will be with Healtdsburg on May 12. The member of Petaluma spring team are Castagna (captain), Way and Kelly. — 59 — Girls’ Athletics Tlie girls’ athletics were in charge of the Girls’ Athletic Associa¬ tion. The girls worked hard and came out strong and showed a great deal of interest for all of the sports. Track was abolished as a girl’s sport, but next year we want to introduce hockey into our school. It’s up to the girls to come out and support our athletics. TENNIS Tennis was very interesting this year. There were enough girls out who had really practiced to have a single team and two doubles teams. The Freshmen took everything with Margaret Scott playing singles and Bonnie Vallier and Edna Stone first team and Eva Carlson and Alma Momsen, the second. To keep up interest and to keep in practice a continuous tennis tournament is in full swing. BASKETBALL The basket ball teams were exceptionally good but on account of coming so late in the season the seniors could not have a team. The freshmen and juniors were almost evenly matched but the sophomores were better and won with the following team:— Lilali Smith ....... Forward and Captain Gladys Offutt. Forward Catherine Hemming . Guard Mary Slattery .....-. Guard Katie Brown ..— Center Rosa Bolz ........- Center Olive Thomas . Substitute HIKING So far we have only had one hike but another has been planned. Miss Adams and Miss Hodgehead took some of the girls on a five mile hike into the hills behind the school. — 60 — 5ertau$ 0 « IKe BtASfr ' G+y Julut Wh0 f Q next ? Viden ed — 61 — J ■■ ooog Q O O PUBLISHED PERENIALLY BY THE DAILY EGG CORPULENCY The Daily Egg could save some money, With no printi ng bills to pay. And the days would all be sunny, If the clouds would stay away. High School days would be far sweeter, (If through classes we could nap. Were it not for rhyme and meter, Writing verse would be a snap. But the Daily Egg must now be written, And if we want to keep our rep; No matter how our brains be smitten, We simply must maintain our pep. Now other Eggs have gone before us — Some were good and some were fair, But let us start with this grand chorus, “This is the Daily Egg that’s There!” IDIOTORIAL What we need in the schools today is less book learnin. ’ What we oughter learn a child is to prepare him for Life and its cantankerous problems. Greek today ain’t what it uster be. A guy with Greek learnin’ is ether got to live amongst his set or else live it down. Greek’s a handicap nowadays. That’s what Greek is. So’s Latin. No one uses Latin no more ’cept these here doctors and even then there subscriptions ain’t near so good as a good substantial patent medicine. Children oughter be learned slang right off so’s when they come outer school they can be understood by there parents. What children oughter be learned more of is gettin’ outer harm’s mischief. Jumpin’ out of the way of these here flivvers for instance. My idear is, the teacher oughter rig up some sorter horn in the class¬ room and every 10 minutes or so she oughter squak it so’s the kids’d get uster dodgin’ outer the way. A month of this kinder practice would — 62 — THE DAILY EGG 7 3 reduce the death morality and show the motorist no matter how hard lie tried, he couldn’t run over a kid so he might as well stop tryin’. Children over the age of 5 years oughter be learned to shoot. A neat sharpshooter’s medal oughter be pinned on the shirt of every pupil who made the most hits at the dummy or gum chew artist, placed within range of the class. Of course the child should be learned to shoot over and not through the head of the kid in front. After bein’ able to hit a bootlegger 5 out of 6, the pupil should be advanced t’ shootin’ at Senators. No one’s too young to start helpin’ the govmi’nt. But there ain’t no one with the courage to lift a finger of complaint and so I suppose as long as children insist on goin’ ter school, these here worthless schools will keep on openin.’ If a cup is-the same as a mug and that is the same as a face, my girl has one of the prettiest loving cups you ever saw. “We should have the pure bread dairy bull replace the scrub because we do not want a mixture of all different stock repesented in one little scrub which looks large at one end and small at the other.” —FRESHMAN PAPER.
