I sit beside the window now And look at the cold pale moon— The wild wind comes and chills me And sObs a lonesome tune. The night is dim and silent. The hours go gliding by And I sit beside the window— The dead leaves fall and sigh. 1 hear a small night creature Soft footed on the grass— Again the leaves are sighing When the soft feet o’er them pass. The wind moans thru the branches Across the moon, so black. They throw their gloomy shadows And make a witch-like track. The stars that gleam and twinkle And the vault of heaven light Are like the hopes that twinkle Within my heart tonight. —FLORA FA AS, ’20. Page Sixteen T II E II A S S A V A M I E II CLASS HISTORY Long years ago when we were little seventh graders we led a simple life unhar- rassed by trials and tribulations. When we arrived at that significant milestone in our young lives which bears the label “eighth grade” and offers the reward “diploma,” we thought we were about the only pebbles on the beach, and managed to make our pres- ence firmly felt by our instructor, whom we lovingly called “Daddy Percy.” We selected our beautiful class colors after a great deal of discussion. Our graduation was cele- brated by a picnic at the Dells. We gathered early in the morning with plenty of “eats” and were taken to the appointed place in a large truck. After playing games and climb- ing rocks, not to mention the frequent trips to the orchard where the “Adams” proved themselves as fond of the forbidden fruit as the “Eves,” we heard “Daddy Percy” calling i s. We stopped, not to heard what he said, but all started running towards the tables, and descended upon the food like a pack of hungry wolves. The happy day came to a close at sundown, for we knew nothing then of the fascinations of “moonlight picnics.” September, 1916, stands as well remembered date in our history because it was then that we entered, forty strong, with fear in our hearts upon our High School career. Before we were Freshies for one day the Seniors gave us to understand that we were mere worms in the dust, and we shook in our boots when even a Sophomore looked at us. The Senior girls entertained our girls with a party one evening early in the first semester; childish games were played, and we were presented with suitable presents. Refreshments were served (Baby’s Food). When the hour of nine arrived they took us home. We elected as out class officials Walter Lang, President; Esta Redden, Vice- President, and Orville Tucker, Secretary and Treasurer. When 1917 rolled around it found only twenty-eight of our original number entering the portals of old P. H. S. We elected the following as our class officers: President. Bernard Sweeney: Vice-President. Frank Knight; Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothy Hill. Our dance given before Christmas vacation v.as a great success, and was declared by all to be one of the best ever given in P. H. S. The curtain now rises and we are .Juniors. Fate seemed to be against us; only sixteen of our class answer to the roll call. In spite of thirteen weeks of forced vaca- tion on account of the “flu,” this year was one of the most successful in our High School career. Our Junior Prom was the best ever given as was also the banquet we gave to the Seniors, and we hope that in so doing we started a custom to :he followed by the Junior Classes of the future. The curtain now rises upon the last act. The principal roles are now played with Anita Weil as President: Arthur Thompson, Vice-President, and Walter Earnhart, Sec- retary and Treasurer. The characteristics which we have maintained are: earnestness and seriousness in our undertakings and the resolution to do all things well. We can truthfully say that our Senior year has been a credit to us in every way, and it is with regret that we leave Dear Old P. H. S. Like the great racer which must stop at every station for gas and oil, so we must stop at places of learning for those things which will fit us for the “Journey of Life.” We have just reached the second station of our “Journey” and we must hasten on to the next, so P. H. S., Farewell. LAURA THEOBALD. ’20. Page Seventeen % CONFIDENTIAL STATISTICS Student N ickname Favorite Saying Pastime Literature Wants To Be Will Probably Be Evelyn Budd Evvie Oh!

When the teachers are a scolding. Their giggles they are holding, With a mischievous delight. They keep smiling, smiling, smiling, With their lessons higher piling. As studying we sit, how they tire us with their wit; Oh, the giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles,— Giggles, giggles, giggles,— Oh, the wriggling and the giggling of the Freshies!

Page Twenty six T II K II ASSA YAM l'EI LTTEUATORE Page Twenty-seven Til K II ASS A YAM PER OUT OF THE NORTH PRIZE STORY The far off sun descended behind the mountains, leaving a desolate waste of white as far as the eye could reach. They gray gloom thickened and the distant peak rose higher, mightier into the sky; it took on the blackness of night itself and crouched, waiting, to gather to its bosom the helpless creatures of life who fought and died under its merciless glance. Stumbling thru fresh fallen snow, a human form plunged on into the fast deepening night. The face was scarred and ugly from the freezing cold, yet in the half blind eyes there lurked the light and hope of youth. There was a determination about the lips and chin, as of one who loved the fight even while losing it Under the hard sceptre of the North many fall and only the strong live on. To win, a man must be strong and brave and noble of heart and mind, but when a man wins he is mighty, and even the North yields him support. «« Sid Graham guided his dog team with well trained hand, hurrying them with shouts and whip homeward. He was late but he had a great carabou on the sledge which would last him a good while against the sudden fall of winter. Reaching his cabin he unharnessed the dogs and set about removing the carabou meat. He had nearly finished when, hearing the dogs quarreling over some object, he approached them, whip in hand. He beat them off and found the form of a man, half frozen, lying in the snow. He carried him into the cabin before the rude fireplace. After a fire was roaring there he turned again to the helpless form, and took off the heavy coat and cap. The face was not recognizable and he set about to faring him back to consciousness. Several hours later the weary eyes opened to Graham’s, and the lips moved in a vain effort to speak. Sid Graham bent closer and then with a start, moved swiftly back, —there was strange familiarity about the brow, with its light brown hair curling back, the eyes were of a self same blue that brought old dreads and longings back again. He fan his hand quickly over his thick beard and fingered its concealing mass on his left cheek. The scar could not be seen, he knew, and if this was the man he feared, he might escape unrecognized. In that instant many thoughts rushed through Graham’s mind. This mail had come to the North to seek him out,—yes, even to kill him in the reckless vengeance of youth. He knew that discovery would mean a struggle which could only result in the death o ‘ one of them, yet looking down at the helpless figure Graham felt a rush of strength and pity, —he was Her brother. His laps set firmly, he would save this lad at all costs. The form moved again and the lips were uttering unintelligible sounds as Graham bent near. “Lola,—” Graham felt a sudden tightness in his throat at the name. “What it is, faoy?” he asked huskily. “Don’t grieve so, sis dear,—I’ll get—him—” The older man turned away quickly. He ran his hand over his head, and there were little beads of perspiration on his forehead. “If it had only wounded him,—instead of killing him,” he said for the thou sandth time. In a few weeks young Hob Donald was almost his sturdy self again. He helped Graham about the cabin, he had learned to drive the dog team and to save and preserve the meat of the carabou. One day he had driven to the little mining camp across the valley and told the anxious miners how he had been found after getting lost from the hunting party. He had decided not to start out on his quest until spring, as he still suffered from the effects of his narrow escape. Page Twenty-eight T II E II ASSA Y A M V E R As the weeks passed there grew up between the two men a strong bond of mutual respect and admiration, which on Graham’s part held a half wistful feeling of a deeper nature. It was about the time of the spring snows that Bob was given an opportunity to repay his debt to Graham. They had run short of meat and had hunted several days with out success. Leaving the dogs at a temporary camp they started out early one morning to try again. Graham was ahead and Bob followed at a slower pace. They were approaching a bend in the mountain when across the plain from behind it swept a bend of carabou. Graham shot twice in quick succession and two of the great beasts dropped, while the herd swerved away and was gone. The two men passed the nearest carabou after being sure it was dead, and ap- proached the second animal. It was struggling in the savage fury of pain and as they drew near it suddenly struggled to its feet and lunged toward them. Graham, who was nearest, dodged quickly to one side and raised his gun. But in attempting to take good aim he slipped and fell, striking his head on a projecting piece of ice, so that he lay stunned, at the mercy of the mad beast. All this haid taken lout a few moments hut it was sufficient for Bob to act. He took aim and fired, but missed the carabou, which having now reached the unconscious man, leaped upon him. Bob ran ahead and aimed again, but his gun jammed. Realizing that he must act quickly, he threw it aside and drew out his hunting knife. In the moment when the carabou backed before attaching again, Bob reached the spot, and as the animal lunged forward, this time more weakly, he plunged his knife into its neck. It fell not two feet from Graham. Bob hastily dragged his friend a safe distance from the dying beast. Graham was recovering and in a few moments tried to rise, only to sink back in an agony of pain. A careful examination revealed, however, that his limb was not broken but severely cut and bruised. To get Graham and the carabou meat back to their cabin presented any number of difficulties ibut Graham finally suggested: “Prop me up here. Bob. and make a fire for me, and I think I can make out until you can go and get the dogs.” “You can’t, Swifty. you’re all in now. I’m afraid to leave you,” Bob objected. “You can get the dogs and be back in two hours, if you hurry, and you’d better do it. Bob. Leave me the gun and I’ll be all right,” Graham insisted. So. as there seemed no better way, Bob started out after the team. It took two hard trips to get Graham and the greater part of the carabou meat back to their cabin, and it was dark when Bob came with the second load. He was almost exhausted, but he set about tending the sick man and preparing their supper. Graham had contracted a cold and lay for several days with a raging fever. While bathing the sick man’s face Bob discovered the deep scar on his cheek. A hundred con- dieting fears and doubts assailed the youth at the sight. Could this man who had saved his life and whose life he had saved be the man whom he had come North to find? Had he any right to accuse this man. who had shown himself so fine, of gross murder? If it WERE the man, Bob felt a sense of shame at the daring thought, what should he do now,—did he not owe this man everything, his very life? He felt suddenly stifled, and leaving the sick man. stepped out into the open. The wind was piercing, cutting, as it swept down from the mountains: and he threw back his head to its freezing blast. He wanted its cold, he craved its fierce, stinging lash upon his cheek, and most of all he craved its strength. The quest upon which he had come North seemed suddenly to shrink into narrow, reckless folly. The city, his sister, the whole tragedy seemed far away, a vague mem- ory. He felt he was a different man from that youth of city ways. In the great, rugged North he had grown big and strong, yet before the strength of these silent places he felt helpless, unworthy. What right had he to judge, to condemn, and most of all to avenge? Then out of the distance of the white unchanging plains, from the heart of the majestic Page Twenty-nine THE IIASSAYAMPER old mountains, came u e answer. He held his head higher, and stretched out his arms to receive it,—the quiet power of the North, the strength of the mountains, the peace of the hushed plains,—he had no right! Two weeks later, Bob went to the camp for supplies. There was a letter from his sister telling him that she was going to be married to Jim Courtney. Would he come tor the wedding? Bob read the letter to Graham when he returned that night. “I came North to find you,” he added, “and to kill you!” “I knew you were looking for me. I recognized you when I found you that day,” Graham answered. “You’ve known me all this time,—yet you saved my life and kept me here all winter?” “Yes,” Graham said simply. “How long have you known me?” he asked after a pause. “I saw the scar on your cheek when you were sick,” Bob replied. “You could have killed me then,” Graham said. “Yes.” For a long time the two men sat silent. “I feel I owe you some explanation,” Graham said then. “It was an accident.” “But you had quarrelled.” “Yes. I knew Pearson here in Alaska. He had a wife here.” “What!” Graham leaned forward tensely. “May Pearson, the little woman who keeps the Home Boarding House, is his wife.” “Good heavens!” Bob muttered, then angrily, “What was his name, anyhow?” “He deserted her and went to Seattle, where he met your sister. I had known Lola for several months and when I learned they were engaged, I went to him and warned him to leave the country. He became furious and threatened to kill me if I told any- thing. It was then that we had the tussle and he drew his revolver. He fired two shots, the first one grazed my cheek, and the other one is the one that accidentally killed him.” “Why didn’t you stay and clear it up? They’re looking for you on a charge of murder,” Bob demanded. “Oh, I didn’t care about that, but I thought if I could get away, your sister wouldn’t find it all out, and have that besides to grieve over. I knew Courtney was in love with her too, and I thought probably she’d marry him some day and forget all this. If I could do her any service,—” his voice had grown husky and Bob saw a shadow cross his face. “Was it fair to give her no choice?” Bob asked. “I wasn’t worthy of her and I knew I didn’t belong in the city with her sort of folks,” Graham said gently. “I couldn’t make her happy and I knew Courtney could. I’m just a rough, uneducated miner,—” “You’re the finest man I’ve ever known,” Bob said quickly, “and I want you to know you’ve been the making of me,—you and these mountains here.” “They help me lots, too,” Graham smiled affectionately. The next day Bob left for his journey south. As he went down the trail Graham stood watching him until he was out of sight over the hill. There was a far-away half wistful smile on the older man’s lips as he turned into the cabin, and he sat for a long time that night smoking and watching the gleaming coals of the fire. Bob breathed deeply of the fresh, cold air as he trudged on. His eyes swept every pinnacle and peak of the loved mountains. The grip of the North was fast upon him, and in his heart was a feeling of strength and gratitude. He had come into the North a reckless youth on a self-appointed mission of vengeance, and he went out of it with new ideals, bigger principles, and a strength and courage which gave him a new grip on himself, a bigger purpose in life. The North stretched out its great hand and bade him farewell as he passed over the hill into the white world beyond. THELMA ROBERTS ’21. Page Thirty T II E II ASS A YAM PER THE UGLY DUCKLING Martha sighed as she closed the well-read story of the “Ugly Duckling,” in fact she always sighed because it made her feel that something nice could happen to any ugly person, and of all ugly people she was considered the ugliest. During her three years of College she had spent the most miserable time of her life. Tf seemed as if she couldn’t go anyplace without hearing the laughter of some crowd that was out for a ‘‘good time.” And as each year went by it seemed to get worse. She wasn’t popular, even with the girls, but they were nice to her; too nice Martha thought because she knew that it was only for kindness, and it hurt her. So to ‘bury her trou- bles she began working in a Hospital in the summer months and succeeded beyond her highest wish. And now as she was sitting on the porch she was thinking of this and the Ugly Duckling; but it was just a story; of course she couldn’t become pretty,—it was most impossible. Her eyes couldn’t change their greenish-blue color or hair turn from red to black, and even if her freckles did go away there would still be her turned up nose, and her large mouth. “Oh, well!” she exclaimed as she started into the house, but she stopped suddenly as she heard her name spoken by a voice, on the street, she knew’ well. It was the voice of a Senior, who was the champion athlete, and the idol of the school. His name was Robert Morgan, and Martha had secretly worshiped him since their childhood, and it hurt her as she heard him laugh and say: ‘‘Who? Martha? Well, I guess not. Why she’s the ugliest and queerest girl I know of, but somehow she reminds me of the ‘Ugly Duckling.’ You remember the story we read w'hen wfe were in the grade school ” Martha stood as if turned to stone; a lump in her throat seemed to choke her; hot stinging tears rushed to her eyes and fell unnoticed on the pages of the opened book. She went into the house, and climbed the stairs as one in a dream. She groped for her bed and lay choking and sobbing while she kept whispering to herself: ‘‘So he also has noticed that I am like the ‘Ugly Duckling’! I wonder how many others have noticed it too?” It seemed to her as if years had passed as she lay there planning to leave the town of her childhood behind her forever, and go to some place where she was unknown so she could finish her college course where people wouldn’t feel sorry for her. That night at dinner she ate very little, and she could feel the eyes of her father and mother looking at her during all of the meal; but she toyed with her food as if she hadn’t noticed their worried glances. After dinner she went back to her room intending to study her surgical books, but she couldn’t understand a word she had read; so she put down her books, and stooped to pick up a newsrarer that had fallen on the floor. When she started to put it on the table she noticed that the headlines were about Germany so she sat down to read about the war. When she finished reading she sat thinking until the sounds of laughter floated up through the open window’, and the honking of Robert’s auto horn as he stopped in front of his latest girl’s home, and then drove off. This was the time she made her decision and realized how foolish it was for these strong men and women of America to waste their time while their country was at war. She decided that she would quit school and take up a nurse’s training course so she would be ready when her country called her. After her decision she hurried down stairs to her parents who were beginning to got worried about her. ‘‘Father.” Rage Thirty-one THE HASSAYAMPER “Yes, Martha?” “Father, I’m going to quit school and take a nurse’s course so I can go to France,” she hurriedly explained, and then looked from one to another to see how they had taken the blow. Her mother laid down her knitting; and her father looked at her as if he hadn’t heard right, and repeated her words slowly: “You say you’re going to quit school and take up a nurse’s course so you can go to France?” “Yes, father, that is if you and mother are willing.” Martha!” exclaimed her mother reproachfully. “Father, you had better send for Doctor Blake. I told you she was ill when she didn’t eat any dinner.” But her father was shaking her hand as if she had been a man and said brokenly, “Martha, just a few minutes ago when I was reading afoout how those cowardly Germans are fighting, I was wishing that 1 had a son to send over. And if you want to go as a Red Cross Nurse, go and God be with you. I wish all of our young people would wake up and—” He was interrupted by the frightened cry from the mother as she whispered, •'William, do you mean to say that you are going to let our Martha go over to that country where thousands are dying from severe wounds?” “Mother,” pleaded Martha, “don’t you see that that’s the reason why I am going? Those poor people need me and — -----and I must go,” she ended, choking back the tears that were trying so hard to escape. Her mother saw what it meant to her so she gave her consent to Martha who little realized what it cost her mother. All that week Martha lived in a dream while she helped her mother make her new uniforms. At last Friday came, as Fridays have a habit of doing, and all the morning was spent in packing her clothes and books. When she came to the “Ugly Duckling” she threw it aside only to pick up up again; and she smiled grimly as she packed it care- fully in the bottom of her trunk. When three o’clock came it found her at the station with her bag and baggage. Several of the students from the University were there, including Robert Morgan and his girl, to see her off. and to give her presents. Martha knew that they did it only for kindness but it didn’t hurt now because she realized that in a short time she would be doing kind things for people who needed it worse than she did. So she left the town of her childhood to go where looks don’t count. One evening after an exceptionally hard day in the trenches about twenty wounded soldiers were brought into this little hospital of Martha’s, and among them was a young officer, dangerously wounded. After his wounds were dressed he was put in the ward that Martha had charge of; and for three days he lay between life and death while Martha anxiously watched over him. His face was almost completely covered with bandages so that it was impossible for Martha to recognize him. But in his delirium he muttered the name of Robert and at the familiar name Martha blushed and wondered if it were possible that-----. But no, that was impossible because at this minute he was probably dancing; but this excuse didn’t satisfy her, and while she took care of this unknown soldier she kept wondering if it were possible. PageThirty-two T H K II A SS A Y A M P EE At the end of three days he changed for the better, and was soon able to sit up; his face was still bandaged, so he still couldn’t be recognized; but the next day the doctor was to remove the bandages, and then she would know. The doctor arrived at the appointed time and with a cherry word to the patient he set to work with practiced fingers, and soon had the bandages removed. The face was scarred but Martha instantly recognized the eyes and mouth of Robert Morgan She started, but soon collected herself as the patient looked at her without a sign of recognition; but it was surely Robert. Martha had heard of cases where soldiers after severe wounds had lost all memory of the past, and she instantly believed it to foe true in this case. One day some officers came to the hospital to give him the Croix de Guerre for having bravely saved a regiment by risking his own life to signal them of the coming danger. When they presented it to him she caught the name of Captain Morgan; so now she was sure! The next day he asked her to write a letter for him and she promptly obeyed. She was writing to his mother telling her how he got a medal when he least expected it. She addressed the envelope to Mrs. Morgan, but to a different town; however, it was possible that Robert’s mother was visiting with one of her friends, so Martha instantly dismissed all doubt from her mind. She had been writing on a book by his bedside, and when she stood up to go he detained her by asking her the name of the book she was holding. She answered blush- ing, as if the name meant more to her than she was willing to admit. “‘The — — ing’!” he exclaimed. “Why that reminds me of my cousin Robert when he told me about a girl who reminded him of-. Well, I’ll be darned! What’s the matter now?” he asked as Martha hurried away to her room. Many years later in a little cottage, in the mountains, a woman was reading the story of the “Ugly Duckling” to a little girl with red hair and blue eyes, and she smiled as she came to a tear-stained page, and glanced hastily across the tarole to a man who sat smoking, and gazing dreamily into the fire. He leaned over to poke the logs in the fireplace, and as the tlames leaped up they revealed a scar on his cheek, and in his hand he was holding a medal that thousands of men have given their lives for. LOIS E. POE ’22. Page Thirty-three Till-: II ASSA YAM PER THE QUEER ’UN “My lands!” said Mrs. Cruncher in an almost awed voice, “did ye ever see the like? Why when I opened the door and saw her standin there, her with her white face and big starin’ eyes, I says to myself, Sally Cruncher, is that there woman a live one or just a new fangled spirit of some kind?’ but when she opened her bag and pulled out some real money I says to myself, ‘Spirit or no spirit she’s got to live and board same as anyone else an’ even with them outlandish clothes of hers I guess my boardin’ house ain’t much too good for her,’ so I opens the door an’ shows her up to the front room ” After giving vent to this outburst Mrs. Cruncher dropped heavily into a chair whose legs quivered and threatened to give way under her ponderous weight. Here she sal speechless, not from the lack of words but from the lack of breath. Molly, the maid of all work, merely looked up from her dusting and replied. “Yes. mum, the new boarder does seem kind o’ queer.” Molly was a wistful blue eyed, black-haired girl who always took the landlady’s speeches in silence and never had much to say herself. So it was that the new boarder. Miss Licton, as she said her name was. came to Mrs. Cruncher’s boarding house. She was, as Molly said, kind o’ queer and seemed to get queerer. She was a tall, gaunt woman with untidy gray hair and her eyes, looming peculiarly big and black in her colorless face, were seemingly without any expression vet always staring at you in such a way that, as 'Mrs. Cruncher explained, “You had a funny feelin’ all up an’ down your back every time she looked at you.” She had nothing at all to do with the other boarders, nor indeed with anyone else. She seldom left the boarding house, and spent all her time in her room. One day Molly, with clean towels on her arm, tapped at Miss Licton’s door. Re- reiving no answer and thinking that, as she had seen her go out not long before, she had not come back yet, she opened the door and went in. A few seconds later Molly backed hastily out of the room, closed the door and ran swiftly down the hall. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes had a look of startled fear. After that she refused stead- fastly to go to Miss Licton’s room, though she refused to explain why. Several months passed; Molly still looked almost terrified whenever she saw the “queer ’un,” as Mrs. Cruncher called Miss Licton. but otherwise all went on as usual in the boarding house. Then one day Mrs. Cruncher coming into the kitchen after being up in Miss Licton’s room on an errand announced, “The queer un’s sick. I do declare, she looks kind o’ feverish too, you know she never has a speck o’ color in them cheeks of hers.” And then as she had a kind heart along with her chattering tongue, Mrs. Cruncher set about making a bowl of broth. This done, she was preparing to take it up when Molly appeared and said that a prospective boarder was waiting in the parlor. As prospective boarders should not be kept waiting, Mrs. Cruncher thrust the bowl into Molly’s hands, telling her to carry it up to the sick woman, and adding that she knew Molly didn’t like to go but the “queer ’un” wouldn’t bite her. and if she waited the broth would get cold. So Molly reluctantly went. The next morning Miss Licton did not appear for breakfast nor did she respond to a gentle rap on her door, so Mrs. Cruncher withdrew saying, “Poor soul,probably she didn’t sleep much during the night and is getting a bit o’ rest now.” About noon, how- ever, she prepared some more broth, went up and finding the door unlocked opened it and started to go in. Suddenly she gave a frightened scream, the bowl of broth crashed to the floor and for the first time in her hardy life Mrs. Cruncher fainted, for on the floor near the bed lay the crumpled-up body of Miss Licton. The rug on which she lay was stained and near her in a tiny pool of blood was a large penknife! The room Page Thirty-four THE II ASS A YAM PER showed signs of a hasty but thorough search. Bureau drawers had been pulled out and their contents dumped on the floor. The bed covers had been jerked off; the door of the clothes closet was open and the clothes were scattered about! It was apparent that she had been killed for something she had hidden in the room out even the police could not throw any light on the affair until under cross-questioning Molly confessed why she had feared the woman and refused to enter her room. She falteringly explained that one day she had gone into the room and seen Miss Licton sitting on the bed watching the sunlight sparkle on a heap of jewels which lay in front of her. Molly had been too surprised to say anything and the woman looking up dis- covered her standing there. “She didn’t say nothin’,” the girl sobbed with a shudder, “she just looked at me with them awful eyes of hers and then she put the stones in her dress and got up terrible slow-like, and started toward me still a starin’. By that time I had kind o’ come to an’ had sense enough to open the door and get out ’fore she could get me.’ So it was, that after the complete failure on the polices’ part to find any real clues, Molly was held suspected of the murder. She was the only one in the boarding house who had known about the jewels, her family needed money quite badly, and she was the last one known to have been in Miss Licton’s room. This suspicion was strengthened rather than shaken when accidentally Mrs. Cruncher discovered in the covering of the mattress of the murdered woman’s bed, a jagged cut, which, however, had been hastily sewed up. This she declared had not been there before, so the stitches were ripped and from the small opening a little leather bag was taken. This bag contained a handful of different kinds of jewels. But to the sur- prise of all and the dismay of Mrs. Cruncher, when these were closely examined by an expert they proved to be not genuine at all but merely imitation ones made of paste. However, Molly did not know the difference between real and imitation jewels so she was still suspected of doing the terrible deed. Then one morning two men, detectives from another city, visited Mrs. Cruncher. This good lady was extremely surprised and flustrated when they showed her a picture of the murdered “queer ’un” and asked her if she knew anything about her. Did she? Well, after her outburst of information had somewhat abated, the men explained, and the mystery of the “queer ’un” was cleared. This woman. Miss Licton. as she called herself, had escaped some months before from the state insane asylum. She had once been very rich and was passionately fond of jewels. Upon suddenly losing all her wealth she had gone insane. At the asylum he was given some imitation jewels to appease her almost fierce passion for them; and then, except for her miserly worship of these jewels she often appeared quite normal. Then one day she cleverly stole some money from the asylum and escaped with this and her jewels. These detectives had been attempting to find her and learning of this strange murder had discovered that the murdered woman was the one they had been searching for. And the murder? It was all cleared up too. The court decided that as at the asylum Miss Licton had often hidden her jewels and then showed wild distress if she could not find them again immediately, in this case it was somewhat the same: she had hidden her jewels, completely forgotten where she put them, searched her room, and still not finding them, had in a frenzy seized her knife, which Mrs. Cruncher remembered seeing lying open on the bureau, and killed herself. “Course,” said Mrs. Cruncher, as fanning her broad red face, and pausing in her work of hanging up the clothes, she leaned over the fence to talk about the ever inter- Page Thirty-five II E II A SR A Y A M I K R esting murder or rather, suicide, with her next door neighbor, “I knowed Molly didn’t do it. But how was we to know she done it herself? Don’t them that do that always leave a note an’ say they don’t care to live any more so they’s killed themselves? But.” she added reflectively, “bein’ she was really a queer ’un I guess as she didn’t have sense enough to do that.” MARGARET HILL ’22. n THE TALE OF A RABBIT (By Elizabeth Randall ’21) A rabbit with a fuzzy tail Was hopping home one day— He stopped beside a water pail And this I heard him say: “What shall I do!

It was a small footstool, an exceedingly neat and prim little footstool, which held itself aloof from its next door neighbor, who looked a trifb disconsolate, having recently lost one of its handles; it sat with conscious pride, just about midway between the two revolving chairs and a trifle crowded by two traveling bags. It was a large foot, but the shoe had been well shined, and so the footstool did not resent its presence. A trifle restless, perhaps, a dainty slippered foot beat a tattoo on the green velvet carpet, quite unconsciously moved over a little closer, found the green plush footstool and settled itself comforably beside the suddenly ridiculous big brown shoe.—the footstool gasped in utter dismay and astonishment. Then the two shoes suddenly discovered each other, and hastily retreated' It was a trifle annoying to hear the superfluous and extremely friendly apologies from overhead, since the one really offended had been that small object of comfort. But the injured footstool was ignored.—however it all ended in the dainty slipped reigning there alone.—and the footstool felt better. S Sf Some time later the brown shoe became extremely bold.—in fact it moved over much closer.------and horrors ! ! ! It stationed itself with some show of confidence beside the slipper.—this time there were no apologies.

Doesn’t that call to mind the most enjoyable and pleas- ant evening of the whole school year? It naturally would be with the Juniors entertaining at the Annual Prom, the big event of tin season. The color scheme Page Forty-seven THE II ASSAY AM PER of green and white was artistically carried out. The hall was entwined with lovely green vines and ferns, and from the ceiling hung four huge baskets, out of which grew evergreens and beautiful hanging plants. The laughing face of the big round moon helped to add to the gaiety of the evening and called forth many moonlight waltzes. The large porch in the rear of the Auditorium was transformed into a magnificent Japanese garden where punch was served and where the jolly crowd withdrew to catch a breath of fresh air between dances. FRESHMEN INITIATION PARTY The Freshmen Initiation Party, inaugurated by the Class of ’17. has be- come a custom in P. II. S. On the second Friday after school opened, the Sen- iors gave a stunt party for the Freshmen. ’Nough said. JUNIOR MASQUERADE The Juniors gave a sheet and Yama-Yama dance on October 24th. 1! 11 . The decorations were sheaves of cornstalks (procured by the girls), tied to- gether with green and yellow tarleton (Junior colors). A true witch (?) told fortunes and there were the usual Hallowe’en stunts. FRESHMEN HARD TIME BALL The Freshmen Class gave its first dance, a hard-time one at that, on No- vember 26th. 1919. The costumes of the guests were both quaint and amusing, ranging from evening dress to that of the farmer. By the time the Freshies, now the infants of P. H. S. are Seniors, we predict for them a successful social career. SOPHOMORE DANCE The most enjoyable dance of the season was given by the Sophomore Class December 18th. The decorations reminded all of the coming holidays. A min- iature Christmas tree in the center of the Auditorium was covered with presents, all-day suckers for the Freshmen, gum for the Sophomores, candles for the Juniors, and walnuts for the Seniors, because of the scarcity of boys (?) in the class. Later in the evening, the candles on the tree were lighted and the lights turned off. making a candlelight waltz. The dance ended at eleven-thirty. P. H. S. DANCE As a final wind-up of the interclass games, after the game between the Junior and Senior girls, in which the Seniors won the cup, and also a game be- tween the M. T’s. and P. II. S. boys, a dance was given in the Auditorium on March 5th. The decorations were in the colors of the Juniors and Seniors. The music was furnished by Pickerill’s four-piece orchestra. Everyone had a ripping good time. Page Forty-eight HE II ASSA YAM I’ EU T. . 'I'. Arc they “ten no-count toughs’’ turned into an explosive or are they merely reflecting the times?

The band is composed of twenty-two members, and is directed by Mr. Davis. (The whole school feels for him). The band was made possible because of the generosity of the Board acting for the school district in buying the in- struments. The instruments were purchased by Mr. Martin and each one has “Prescott City Schools” engraved on if. These are the music-makers: Cornets Carter. E. (Solo) Block. II. (Solo) Martin. T. (Solo) Suder.

At the Time of tin Preseott-Flagstaff Debate. Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight revel of Alice dear. When she returned ’twas one o’clock. A dignified teacher could ne’er pick a lock. Was she a tramp? Oh no. my dears. She was Alice Adams whom Preshies fear. Could she sleep in the park? My dears. I’m shocked- Hut could she get in ? The door was locked. She rattled the screen. Oh girls please look. Anita trembled and Thelma shook. Of righteous laughter they nearly died. They pushed out the screen, her skirt wasn’t wide— Did she get in? I guess she did From the terrible matron the secret she hid Hereafter, her keys she’ll not leave at home Nor ever again will she chaperone. DOROTHY MARTIN 20. Pase Fifty-eight ATHLETTC? THE IIASSAYAMI'KR ATHLETICS 1919 BASE BALL 1919 For the first time in several years Prescott High School organized a Base- ball Team. We were handicapped by not being able to schedule games and also by the lack of uniforms. Our first game was with Clarkdale and an ('lark- dale’s field. This turned out to be a 14—7 victory in our favor. Our next game was also with Clarkdale. The result of Ibis game was a i—1 defeat for us. Although our percentage was the same as Clarkdale’s. we feel that we were the victors as we made a total of 15 points against our opponent’s 15. BASE BALL TEAM—SPRING 1919 Members 1.

S. proved to be very unsuccessful this year. Our first trouble was to get the fellows to come out to practice. Then one of the boys getting hurt in the first few weeks of practice made it advisable to drop Football. We. therefore, gave up Football without having played any games. We have bright prospects for a strong team next year, however. Page Sixty Till : II ASS A YAM PER ATH LETIC ASSOCIATION Xearlv everyone in school boosts the Athletic Association. Every class has I wo members on the Hoard: there arc a faculty member, tin two coaches, the principal and the superintendent. Why don’t the student members talk more? They do second the motions.

Due to the “Hu.” Junior play, and various other reasons our season was cut short. We opened the season with Clarkdale as our first oppon- ent. Although very nearly a tie. it resulted in a victory for us of 28—19. Our next game was with Winslow; this proved to be an easy victory of 29—8. again in our favor. During the holidays we played the Alumni, who were home from school at Tucson, many of whom were on the Varsity Team there . This proved to be a hard-fought game yet a decisive victory for tin Alumni. The score was 45—2n. Our first trip was made to Williams where we were defeated by a score of 27—2«. Our next game was a return game with Williams. They proved to be easy on our home court as the final score registered 87—17. in our favor. Our last two games were played with the Motor Transport. The scores were 28—6 and 24—14. THE MAIN TEAM Alvin Thompson—Captain and Forward. He showed his ability as a cap- tain and forward. Ib was a cool-headed and steady player, a marvel at basket shooting. Harry Southworth—Forward. Small but mighty. When In got the ball it was a sure goal. Ralph Weiland—Forward. Noted for his long shots and true aim. Wells Heap—Center. He not only placed the ball where he wanted it but played signals and good team work. Donald Bradley—Guard. He played good team work and is one of tin best guards Prescott has ever had. Gilbert Rees—Guard. He played a fast, snappy game, always keeping tin ball away from the opponents’ basket. Verne Jones—Although he arrived late in the season he showed his ability as a guard.

BALL TEAM The girls’ team was one of the best that we have ever had. Yvonne .Mor- rison. our jumping center, has been able to out-jump every other center that she has run up against. Laura Theobald, running center, was always on the job, always ready to take the signals and carry them out. The guards, too. Vera •Jackson and Maxine Davis, were there on the team work and very necessary to make the Basketball games a success. Last, but not least. Inez Poe. Captain, and Helen Born, round out the team, noted for their wonderful team work quick playing, and hardly ever missing the basket, they have been a terror to all opposing teams. Our sub. Lois l’oe. is what we call an all-round good sub. she can shoot the baskets, jump center, and guard. Page Sixty-four THE II ASSA V A M I E I IXTER-CLASS BASKET BALL The class panics this year were played with much enthusiasm. The first hoys’ game was played by tin Sophomores and .Juniors. The score was 31—18 in favor of the Sophomores. The second game, the Sophomores lost to the Seniors by a score of 37—21. The next game was a 36—8 victory for the Sophomores over the Freshmen. Due to sickness this is all of the boys’ inter- class games that have been played up to the time “The Ila.ssayampcr’’ goes to press. The girls have been more successful in playing off their games and the cup has been awarded the Senior Girls.

The latter seemed to select for its victims practically all our first string men and included—Captain Alvin Thompson, Wells Heap. Harry South- worth. Donald Bradley. Ralph and Eugene Weiland. Max Escher. Kenneth Walker and others who were valuable as Basketball material. The first of March finds us enjoying ideal Spring weather and causes everyone to turn to Spring athletics. Athletics this Spring will consist of Baseball and Track. For several years we have had no Track team and consequently the material is rather scarce and will have to he developed. However, we hope to be able by means of Inter-class Track meets to develop a Track team that will be able to bring due honor to our institution. As “The Hassayamper” goes to press. The Athletic Association is having the Baseball grounds put in shape, ordering Baseball equipment and getting ready for the coming season of the Great National Pastime in fine style. We expect to put a strong team in the field and provided sickness, or other school activities do not interfert you will hear of our 1920 Baseball team for some time, at least long enough for each spectator to give a complete resume of each game with special emphasis on the exceptionally brilliant plays and bone-beads!

My lessons, dear me, I never know. When I try to look intelligent, My answers are not worth a cent. In History class it’s just the same. They ask about Old Charlemagne. I speak at length on Charles The Bold. The lecture get can’t be re-told. In English class it’s a little better. Until I was asked to write a letter. 1 wrote it in a story form. Believe me, my teacher sure did storm. On Tuesday and Thursday is Public Speaking. I go in late with my shoes a-squeaking. They look around, and how they frown. The rest of the time I make no sound. But Assembly periods—words fail me! If you can’t take my word for it, come in and see I get scolded for stooping, or sitting up straight. That’s nothing compared to coining in late. In Penmanship class I scribble and write. But I am always told that it looks a sight. I agree with them, I must confess. What my letters are, even I, must guess. Gymnasium class I can’t describe. To keep met quiet they even bribe. 1 am hopeless, silly, and “hardboiled” too. But I wonder how hopeless are some of you? An Answer to the Sophomore s Lament I read a poem the other day, In which great sadness lies. A tragic poem—which if I may. I’d like to criticize. Geometry would be more clear— More full of pleasant graces. If spent in making figures, dear. Instead of making faces. In History I’m sure that you Of speech would be more ready. If you attend what heroes do — Instead of watching Eddie. In English and Gymnasium I fear I have some leanings To ask you to recall that DUMB Possesses two good meanings. So, though I see within your song. Some true and honest features; I fear my sympathies belong, To your long-suffering teachers. Page Seventy-four THE II ASSAY AM PER Sept. 2. Sept. 3. Sept. 8.

Girls’ Basketball starts with Miss Balderston as coach; Boys’, with Mr. Long. The only blot to mar the society finish of the Seniors’ party for the Freshies was, perchance, the cabalistic designs gracing the barbarously shaven pates of their young guests. Our “Prince” appears in a charming new rain coat; enough to make anyone disagree with the weather prophet. Telegraphy Class starts.

His Hart he had recently lost To an Angel who nipped in the Budd The Heap of his passion, and so His Pate was a heavy as mud. He then made his Car-ter speed All down the sea-side Hills, lie was ( hased by a Marshall’s ear Past factories, towns. Blocks, and Mills. A Walker he struck in his flight And the shock gave him chill-Blains. quite sore: He arrived full of Aiken and pains At a Birch-bark canoe on the shore. lb struck out for a Wei land afar But came to a Rief on the shore An Eddie near-by swept him ’round Until he could paddle no more.

I went to the Ball game.” Miss Adams: “Max, I saw you reading the dictionary. Do you find it interesting.” Max: “No, amusing. You see. (he dictionary and I spell words so differently.” A BORN ORATOR If you or I were asked how much two and t so make, we would reply “four.” When this is asked a born orator, like Arthur Thompson, he replies, “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to take an integer of the second denomination, and add it to an integer of the same denomination, the result, and 1 have the science of mathematics to back me in my judgment, the result—and I say it without fear of suc- cessful contradiction,—the result is FOUR.” WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Verne: “Is it all over?” Marybelle: “Only on the shoulder.” Discussing Dolly Winthrop’s simple faith a Sophomore wrote: “The mere sound of teligious words made her feet better.” Was Dolly a Christian Scientist? Prof. Davis, while roaming in the vicinity of Thumb Butte found himself confronted by a bull. Desiring to pass and a’so not to offend the beast. Davis said, “My friend, you are my superior in strength: but I am your superior in mind, and so being equally gifted let us arbitrate the matter ” “Oh no.” replied the bull. “Let’s toss up for it.” Prof. Davis lost.

Talking with Miss Coleman about taking Algebra at Night School asked: Is the teacher good looking?” Miss Coleman: “Leslie, you don’t want a PRETTY teacher, they don’t know anything.” Marybelle, overhearing the conversation: “Then my Algebra teacher doesn’t know anything.” Maxine: “Donald asked me for one kiss.” Edna: “What did he want to do, get the range?” Helen A.: “Miss Balderston, what’s the knocking after the murder scene in “Macbeth’?” Walter E., in low tone: “Duncan kicking the bucket.” Mr. Davis endeavoring to make clear to his Bright Seniors the theory of molecular attraction surprised them with: “Adhesion is when a boy takes his girl to the show.” “Cohesion is when a girl takes a girl friend to the show.” YE TALCUM POWDER CLUB Motto: Beauty, tho only skin deep makes a hit with the super- ficial man.

Paul: “Did Miss Adams tell you the truth when you asked her how old she was?” Wells: “Oh. yes.” Paul: “What did she say?” Wells: “That it was none of my business.” Mr. Davis: “Helen, define density.” Helen B.: “1 can’t define it, but I can illustrate it.” Mr. Davis: “All right, you have.” Mr. Blockhouse had written 92.7 on the blackboard and to show the effect of multi- plying it by 10, rubbed out the decimal point. He then turned to Alvin and said. “Alvin, where is the decimal point?” Alvin: “On the duster, sir.” “What kind of a fellow is Verne?” “He’s ope of the kind that goes out walking with you and remarks on how demo- cratic he is, not afraid to be seen with anyone.” ♦ % WE WANT TO KNOW WHETHER: Miss Barnes is taking Mathematics or Mr. Brockhouse is taking Spanish ! ? !

Esther S.: “Do you want to start the Victrola?” Roland: “Why?” Esther: It’s about time you started something.” WHY NOT PREPARE TO TEACH? Attend the Northern Arizona Normal School at Flagstaff -----o---- The teaching profession is appealing to young men and women as never be- fore. It is just now passing through a period of readjustment to a higher plane of service and of compensation for that service. The world has, at last, been forced to recognize the profession o! teaching and salaries are being rapidly raised in response to the urgent demand for teachers. The State Normal School at Flagstaff sent out its last graduating class at salaries ranging from $125.00 per month, upward. Its slogan will be: Better salaries for better qualified teachers. The school has arranged its course upon the quarter plan, running four twelve-week terms each year, thus enabling stu- dents to complete a two-year course in one and one-half calendar years. A large program for the summer school has been prepared. Send for circular, and learn of the opportunities to be offered. . ? ■ - .

Prompt Service—Good Work—Fair Prices Telephone 40 Prescott, Arizona APPRECIATION We believe that the publication of the “1920 Hassayamper” is of real im- port, in view of the fact that the “Classes of 1918 and 1919,” due to un- usual conditions with which we are all only too familiar, gave the funds for- merly expended for the purpose of pub- lishing such a book to extensive war- work. We have tried, and we sincerely hope that our efforts are not in vain, to make the “1920 Hassayamper” one not soon to be forgotten. We wish to thank the faculty and students for their splendid cooperation and assistance; Mr. Bate, the photog- rapher; The Courier, our publishers; Cocks-Clark, the engravers, and the generous advertisers who make this book possible.
