O'DONNE.LL Development 0 the Polytechnic Nine years ago the Polytechnic was only an idea. There were no buildings, 110 campus and no money to secure these things. There was in the minds of a few people a knowledge of a pressing need and a vision of an institution that would supply this need. A region larger than the combined area of New England, New York and Pennsylvania was with- out a single institution of higher learning: a great territory larger than the entire German Empire and far richer in undeveloped resources offer- ed its tens of thousands of splendid boys a11d girls no opportunity of an adequate training for life. The plans of a great practical school were formulated and presented to those who might be interested. Hon. John D. Losekamp was discover- ed and he threw his generous heart into the project of making the vision a reality and many other public spirited men of Billings joined him. James J. Hill, the great empire builder, gave 325,000 for the land upon which the school was to be built. So the Polytechnic had its beginning. The first buildings consisted of a permanent recitation building and four temporary dormitories, one of which served as a dining room and kitchen. One hundred students could be accommodated at the beginning. The growth of the institution has been a marvel. During the past eight years over two thousand people have contributed to the development of the institution. Four splendid permanent buildings have been erected and three more will be constructed this year. And what is this unique institution? lt has become known through- out the country as The School with the Open Door. Here any boy or girl can enter with money or without moneyg with previous training or without previous training. These things make no difference if one has the determination to be educated. The following courses of training are offered: Practical Agriculture, Elementary Engineering, Commerce, Teachers' Training, Academic, College, Shorthand, Manual Training, Domestic Science, Music and Vocational Training. The classes are so arranged and various special studies are offered to encourage those who can spend but a few months each year in school. If a boy has but three months in which he can be spared from the farm he will find here the opportunity of taking the common branches, practi- cal Carpentry, Automobiling, Steam and Gas Engineering, Practical Business or Agriculture. A girl under similar conditions can Hnd a use- ful training here that will mean much to her in life. The Polytechnic has made a most rapid growth but its development during the next few years is sure to be much faster than in the past. This year will see upwards of 95100,000 spent in new improvements the most notable of which will be the Conservatory of Music to cost ?'p50,000, the gift of Hon. John D. Losekampg the Y. M. C. A. dormitory and social centerg and the Gymnasium and Armory. These three new buildings will make the Institute the best equipped school of the entire Northwest. The success of the Polytechnic idea encourages its friends to believe that it is destined to be the leading institution of learning in the North- west. If it continues its present rate of growth it will have an enroll- ment of one thousand students within five years time. Leading educa- tors in all parts of the country are interested in the demonstration it is making in practical education and they are united in the belief that it has a most wonderful future before it. It not only has its own great work to perform for this region but it is to act as a guiding star for hun- dreds of other institutions seeking what is best in education. mhz arulhg Happy is the man that tlndeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding, for the merchandise of it is better than the mer- chandise of silver, and the grain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her rightihandg and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasant- ness and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon herg and happy is every one that retaineth her. -Bible .. . . - . Wi XA P 0 L y la -.

Flower: Violet. Colors: Purple and While. Class Izhstory Now beginneth the history of the Class of '17, of the Billings Poly- technic Institute, of the City of Billings, County of Yellowstone. State of Montana. In the beginning was the Institution and in the thirteenth year of the twentieth century of our Lord, in the ninth month, and on the seventh day, there entered into this Land of Learning, nine seekers of knowledge. There came one, a certain Guy Barnes from Ronan, lvlontanag a fair maiden, Ruth Slayton, from Lavina. Montana: an ambitious lad, Earl Beall, from Manderson, Wyomingg two herdsman's sons, Alfred Mace of Howard, Montana, and Vern Asbridge from Roundup, Montana, a brown-eyed youth, Harry llolles, from Cushman, Montanag a seeker of pleasure, Frank Hunter, from Manderson, Wyoming, and two children of the prairies, Earl Kildahl and his sister Ruth, from Horton, Montana. Some came from the eighth grade, where they had been storing their minds with many years of wisdom. Some had come from the green fields in the country and others had been tillers of the soil. And it came to a pass as they entered this land, that they were wel- comed by those who had come to help them up and over the rough ways of knowledge. And as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness wore away and they, each', became as one among the rest. Now it came to pass. soon after they entered the land, that they were one and all seized with a strange infirmity, which did cause them to act with much tierceness and strangeness of manner and to grapple and wrestle with their fellows in much rage and seeming ferocity. Wise men were called to look upon them, who did examine them with much care and pains, and did finally pronounce the infirmity in the male football and baseball, and in the female basketball, And it came to pass, that when the school came to a closeg some went back to their land from whence they had come and others thought that they would stay in this land of learning. Now it came to pass at the be- ginning of the second year that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory, and the Class of '17, in the new dignity of their promotion, remembered the days of their own greenness, and as the older students of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new youths. This Class had decreased one in number so there were only eightg for one named Ruth Slayton traveled in the far South to join the Freshmen in the Art School at. Los Angeles, California. The small band decided that they would stay together the whole year and so the entire nmnber at the end of the second year was eight. Now it so happened that there were only seven who came back to this land, for he of the name of Vern Asbridge had decided he needed to rest -Eighteen- c 'U Aff? 1 ,gffgf-' 5 ij-3 c .Q , J .

And behold, who do we see with us again '? The maid, Ruth Slayton, who had so- journed in the land of California came back to stay with the Class of Sev- enteen, and in addition two handsome and fine looking youths by the name of Harry Harken from Cartersville, Montana, and Turner Shepard of the Fort XVayne High School at Fort Wayne, Indiana. And as the Class did journey through the land and over the hills of knowledge, behold, there were two maidens who were fair to look upon, who had strayed far from the companions with which they had set forth, and were much sor- rowful. The name of one was Beatrice Emison of the Fergus High School at Lewistown, Montana, and the name of the other was Sara Morse from the Steamboat Rock High School at Steamboat Rock, Iowa. And as the members of the Class did look upon them in their loneliness, their hearts were stirred in pity for them, and they did open wide, unto them their arms, that they might be gathered in, and lo, the whole num- ber at the end of the third year was twelve. Now this, the fourth and last year of the history of these great and wonderful Class of 'IT has been one of much hard labor for preparations are being made for them to take their final departure from the land. And behold, who do we see with us again in our last year but Vern Asbridge, who had traveled among the hills of the far NVest and whom we had not seen for a year. And it came to pass that the Class wished for badges, and many mes- sengers were sent to big cities and all the towns around about for samples of their fine jewelry and at last after considering and reconsidering, the Class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice. And pins were pur- chased with which they rested well content. And it also came to pass that the Class chose their colors. In choosing the purple for our leading color they have done so with a full understanding of its royal significance and they have asked themselves over and over again, Are we worthy? 'vVill we be able to live up to it? NVithin itself it is a perfect blend of the pure rich red of love and comradeship, and the clear bright blue of truth: and for their secondary class color they have selected white hoping that the purity it typifies may become closely inculcated in their personal princi- ples: that by blending it with the purple of devotion and comradeship, their love may be kept ever clean and white that they -may remain always pure of thought and word and deed, loyal of purpose and spirit-yes, loyal, and pure of motive in all that they may think or say or do throughout all the course of their lives. So they start on this voyage of life holding the colors of purple and white proudly aloft, and determining to stand by them to the end, build- ing for themselves lives of loyalty, of purer promise and richer valueg characters of sterling strength and tested purity, through a wise and happy blending of the purple with the white. And in the end the number was thirteen. Verily, verily, I say unto you, they must depart from thence, to go each his separate wayg to lands, they know not of, to do, they know not what, But let them not be weary in well doing, for in due sea- son they shall reap if they faint not. And now may the blessings that ever attend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with them, each and all, now and forevermore, Amen, -ALICE KILDAHL. -Nineteen- ' pp ,gp r. .,, A ,, . ,W r W5 A 'ewtifgf ra fN I xl lx .r ah!! ,4 g ' L: J f -'A A Plea for Service Dedicated to the Class of ,l7.

BY GARFIELD HANKINS. This past year has seen the establishment of the College of Liberal Arts at the Polytechnic. For the first time in the history of the institu- tion it has become possible to grant university degrees. This fact. more than any other. shows the growth and development of the Institute. It marks the greatest year in the history of the Polytechnic and foretells a wonderful future. There are three main reasons for the establishment of a college here. First. because this is an ideal place for a college. The Polytechnic is situ- ated in the center of a region 500 miles in diameter. with a population of 1000.000 people. its immediate field is larger than the German Empire. It lies in the heart of the Yellowstone Valley and is the center oi' a vast agricultural and industrial empire, the possibilities of which are un- limited. Secondly, new high schools are constantly being established throughout this region. Towns have sprung up everywhere and each year sees a rapid growth in population. This means an increase in the total number of high school graduates each year. These graduates must have a convenient place to go to college, a college not too far from home and one that is capable. in every way, of caring for its students, mentally, physically, morally and spiritually. Tliirdly, the Polytechnic offers a thorough vocational training. High school graduates will find in the College of Liberal Arts a great oppor- tunity for training themselves for responsible positions. The whole drift of educational ideas today is toward definite values. Every student should be given a chance to discover his bent and his college must make him skillful in it. A man's value to society is not complete until he finds his place and work in life. Every individual in society should add something to human service. The Polytechnic believes the genius in every man lies waiting to be discovered. College training will mean that here. The campus of the Polytechnic lies in the shadow of the great Rim- rock which borders the north side of Billings. Here the greystone col- lege buildings are being erected, one after another, to fit into a scheme for an ideal college center. Soon it will be a city gray, with traditions and memories dear to the heart of the college student. Each year the students will silently wind their way in the long farewell march to the Rimrocksg each year the Seniors will arise to receive their degreesg each year good-byes will be said to dear old college days. And we shall all be glad to call this our Alma Mater. f'0L'LEG E STVDE NTS. Eklund. Arthur Nettlehorst, Corinne Hankins, Garfield Pickle, George H. Kim, Patrick Robinson, Florence Lacy, Madison S.

I K FV? asa , fb rw L x 1 A .SS The Academic Department The Academic department of the Polytechnic is able to reach and fulfill the needs of many more boys and girls than are the High Schools of the Northwest. This question was recently asked of one of the Deans, Just what courses do the Academic department offer ? Oh, came the answer, most any. It depends upon the student. That answer tells a great deal about the management of this depart- ment. The courses are so planned as to lit the needs of the student. There is the regular High School course trom which a graduate may enter any Eastern College or University. Besides many courses are offered which are not in the High Schools. For instance the Poly has a course in pre- paratory engineering which enables the student to enter an engineering college as an advanced engineer, but many students do not intend to enter college and want some course that will prepare them for practical life. For these there are the Agricultural, Mechanical Arts, Normal Training, Domestic Science and Commercial courses. These also include many of the cultural studies such as English, History and Mathematics. Two other courses of great importance are the music, both vocal and instrumental, and the special courses. The last is for the person who has not 'dnished the eighth grade or who, not having been satisfied to finish a course which did not suit him, has dropped out of school and who now wishes to train for some particular branch. All Poly students in these departments have the advantage over most High School students in that they must have some Bible study and Hy- giene as well as taking physical training under a physical director. Both boys and girls have this opportunity and have the use of a good gym- nasium. ACADEMIC STUDENTS Alexander, Helen Avent, Harriet Baker, Bernice Barling, William E. Barnes, Guy L.

Close is one of the interesting features of the Polytechnic. A business education becomes more and more important every year for the country is fast developing into a commercial World and competition in business becomes more keen. We are training our students to become good citizens, giving them practical knowledge necessary to conduct successfully any profession and preparing them for a high position in life. Each student has his or her own individual desk where they can keep their books and supplies under a lock and key. The business ex- change is carried on in a real actual business fashion, consisting of a Bank, an Office called the Billings Wholesale Co., another General Agent, Commercial Exchange and Polytechnic Real Estate Office. The students buy and sell and transact business with the different offices and also buy and sell among themselves. We use Prof. .J. S. Sweets book on Business Practice which is one of the best and up to date methods of business practice. The course is composed of ten sets. and Higher Accounting. Sets I and 2 take up the first principles of the Journal and Ledger work. also instructions for tak- ing balances. Sets 3 and 4 we handle more books as follows: Journal, Ledger Balance Book, Pass Book, Deposit Ledger, Cash Book, Notes Re- ceivable and Notes Payable Books, also Invoice and Sales Books. In the advanced sets we take up many different branches of work such as the Hay and Grain business. Boot and Shoe business, a General Mercantile business, giving the student a broad knowledge of bookkeep- ing and a general business education. .After the ten sets are completed we take up higher accounting, consisting of VVholesale Accounting. Commission, Banking and Corporating Accounting. In this work the students get acquainted with the very best and most simplified methods of bookkeeping. Many of our boys have gone out of this department and have taken high positions in banks and railroad offices where the work is exceed- ingly hard. These boys have been promoted from time to time until now some hold very important places. TH E STENOGRA PHII' D EPA RTM ENT. To our minds the Shorthand and Typewriting department has be- come one of the strong, if not the strongest of the Institution. Its suc- cess is largely due to its being under the supervision of our able instruc- tor, E. E. Close, who comes to us highly recommended from the Santa Rosa Business College, Santa Rosa, California. 1 -Thirty-three- J cf, A ew, - X 5 gJ 1, .1 T -as S :My ,,,, 3 ,M if f A , E X355 A 13 If A ,5 X-Q..-v ff , -v - .- 113.-if' Y W 3 Y ff'-Egg 4. The Gregg system of shorthand is taught here. It is the standard system, being used in all the first class schools. After trying out other systems of shorthand it has been decided that the GREGG is the most simplified system and is the easiest learned. The efficiency, speed and skill which it develops in the student are more easily acquired in this than in other systems. The rapid growth of the Northwest is creating an ever-increasing demand for stenographers who have had a thorough training such as the Polytechnic olfers in this department. So far the school has been unable to satisfy the calls for competent stenographers. COMMERCIAL AND STENOGRAPHIC STUUDENTS.

D ...fs 'Qy lx N 's f ii Engineering Department The engineering department at the Polytechnic has undergone some difficult experiences especially during the early history of the school. Due to a lack of funds. it was found very hard to secure proper equipment for the school in this branch of learning. But the success, that comes of hard and faithful work, has also brought up-to-date and complete equip- ment to our laboratories. Besides the high school course in electrical engineering, a junior college course has recently been introduced. Both of these courses have in connection with them, complete electrical testing laboratories, where the boys have been doing excellent work. Testing instruments for resist- ance. meter testing. slide wire bridge-work, lamp testing, designing and building rectifiers, rewinding armatures, designing and building gen- erators is hardly a beginning of the work now being performed by the students along this line of study. Our departments also contain very useful as well as the most modern equipment for the student who is studying physics and chemistry. They have an opportunity of proving and reasoning out the physical phe- nomena of the world about them. This excellent opportunity is open not o11ly to the student of electri- cal engineering, but alike. to those who desire to study steam, gasoline or automobile engineering. A 32-110 horsepower steam tractor, a 10-25 horsepower gas tractor. a stationary gasoline engine and a number of cars, now make up part of the equipment of the shops. This machinery offers, from the practical side, a chance to work out the theory derived from the text books. Repairing, building, remodeling, and even some de- signing cars of different types are a part of the work. The engineering department has made remarkable progress this year. Each one of the boys has chosen some machine or electrical ap- pliance, to design, build, and put on exhibition, at the close of the present school year. The larger part of our success is due to the hard and faith- ful work of our instructor, Mr. Prussman, to whom we owe much credit. Alexander. Morris Avent. Monroe Black, Ames S. Bolles, Harry A.

Modern poultry houses fill the space between Daddy Kline's and the orchard, while a good machine shed and cow barn extend south from the old horse apartments. The big basement room of Prescott Commons has been fitted up in good shape for agricultural laboratory work where seed testing, soil analysis. etc., of the most thorough and practical kind is carried on u11der the expert direc- tion of Professor McCormick. The old hay fields on the west were plowed up last spring and 20 acres of new alfalfa planted directly south of the main buildings, below the county road. Over four hundred shade trees,-ash, elm and poplark- were put out around the new buildings and along the highways. The crops raised the past year were extraordinary. Mr. Plaenert and later Mr. McCormick, two capable and industrious superintendents, are accountable for this. Our exhibits at the Midland Empire Fair and Montana State Fair compelled the admiration of all who beheld, and brought down an aggre- gate of 951,500 in prizes. Corn, beans, forage and root crops were our long suits. One innocent little gallon of navys won 3575.00 in cash and then went off to the World's Fair and took Hrst honors. We beat the world in beans and millet seed, and took second place in a number of other lines. The farm is rapidly becoming supplied with first class ma- chinery won in this way. Plaenert, McCormick, Rollins, Herne, Oliver, Hunter, Barnes, Grif- fin, Holm, Hagerman, Rorabeck and Archer were the steady crew. Amusement and diversion were plentiously supplied by the delegation consisting of Shepard, Lacy. McNeill, Baylis and Pendergast. It was a fine summer,---the best ever. Possibly the office force kept some of us from being homesick. Ask Miss Morse and Miss Lougee. And don't forget that Mr. Rogers was here with his car and his good na- ture and his,-his-his remarkable remarks! and Mrs. Rogers with her smile and her smiling Dick, and HE.

XR 5: ' e -f - ' L-W-' A- The Normal Department Among the present problems which confront the world at this event- ful time, is the question of training children in the most progressive man- ner, in order that we give them the fundamental units for individual thinking. lt' has been decided that the forming of good characters is largely with the teacher. Therefore the latest method of normal training is to give the power to instill interest into the younger minds. This normal training is being developed in this institutiong many ideas of the greatest thinkers of the ages such as: Pestalozze, Montessori, Froebel and Rockefellow are being worked out. Besides this the ideas of thestudents are worked out and if they can not carry them out as they thought, there are trained teachers which help one and give advice and ideas that are practiced in this school. The persons preparing for teachers are taught to teach the child, rather than the class, to treat each child according to his or her tempera- mpnt and not to try and set hard and fast rules by which to govern all the school. Handwork is an important feature of the model school, for it arouses interest and helps to start young pupils to concentrating their minds. It rests their minds from facts and starts them in using their hands as Well as their brains, a feature not very well installed in most schools. The Normal Department is making many things to take to their school roomsg these things will be the patterns from which the pupils will copy their handiwork. Teachers from Poly are to be found from coast to coast, there will be so many taking normal work that there is to be a fine room, as soon as the music conservatory is finished which the normal students Will have for theirs instead of the small one now in use. The demand for teachers is greater than before, and Poly is helping to supply her share as there is more than twice as many students taking the normal course this year than ever before.-R. W.

Manual Training The entire end and aim of education is two-foldg first, it is to make a self-supporting and useful citizen: and second, to develop the person- ality of the individual to the fullest extent. By a self-supporting and useful citizen is not meant one who simply furnishes the means of sustenance for himself and family. While that is essential. more is necessary. He must do not only that but he must contribute something, even though it be but small, to the public good. ln' every individual there exists certain faculties or capabilities upon the development of which much depends. So much, in fact, that it often means the difference between success and failure. It is true that these faculties or capabilities are often hidden from sight and may never even be dreamed of until brought to light by some apparent accident. But it is the discovery and development of these faculties which is the second aim of education. The Polytechnic is seeking to solve a great problem. The old idea of forcing upon the student the cut and dried theories of the imprac- ticable has long been disregarded. Here the thought has been to give the boy a trade training to make all other branches aid toward giving him an education which will make him of immediate use to both himself and his employer. During the past summer the boys under practical instructors have completed the second story of the Manual Training building. Now to- gether with additional machinery the school is fitted to give a thorough training along trade lines. -Tliirty-eight- rg b ESX? f. . .,-T.-.......,.-l T ,L , ,Q YV my T- 3 A S - LNQQFN flip J F3 N L J X4 V ,gxgi H- X A . - W., .mkgffet ttfs I 'f5-- 5 , ' 'f Domestic Science XVe can live without music, without poetry and without books, but civilized men cannot live without cooks. There are 1nany Poly co-eds wise enough to understand the full significance of the above to such a de- gree that they want to be good cooks. They have had little to say, but have been hustling just the same. Moreover, we are quite sure you will agree to the above when you read the list of things accomplished. First we began with all kinds of fruit canning while fruits and vegetables were in season, all of which were grown on the Poly farm. This consisted of putting up fruits. pickling and preservingg making chile sauce, catsups, mince meat, apple butter, pumpkin, jellies and marmalades. After the canning season was over we began to take instruc- tions in making pies, all kinds of cakes, cookies, turn-overs, biscuits, Cboth baking powder and soda l, and muffins. The next thing taken up was Household Economyg that is the study of food values, of starch and the various use of food to the body. And since food must supply the needs of the body a great deal of time and en- ergy was spent in learning as much as possible about the human machine and its needs. ln order to best do this we began the study of foods under live different classes: Q13 Proteing 123 fatsg Q33 carbohydratesg C43 mineral saltsg C51 water. XVe are now beginning The Planning and Serving of Meals, which promises to be very interesting. Indeed, the domestic science girls have done big things along this line. XVe have to study out menus for dinners, lunches and breakfasts. Later we serve them. This is a science with which every girl ought to be familiar. Our work in this department is very practical, so much so that every girl takes at least two years of domestic science. Domestic Art. The domestic art department is a very busy place now that the twenty-four girls are busy cutting and making dresses and hats which are to be worn on the first day of May. These are also to be on exhibit at the end of the school year. At the beginning of the year we were taught all the different kinds of stitches in garment making for the decoration or the finishing of any kind of garments. Model books are furnished con- taining all the sample stitches, to these we can turn at any time. Moreover, we have had designing, crocheting, sewing machine work, art embroidery, garment making, cutting from patterns and home decora- tions. It is quite as necessary that a girl take domestic science and art as it is that a boy take manual training, consequently it is being taught in all our high grade schools and institutions.-Jessie Kress.

Matter is stimulus and sensation is the immediate result. Music, the music that has always been, is one of the subtlest pieces of mother nature. It gives Wonderful voice to emotion, instead of to ideas. If there is any one thing that is essentially an element of true refinement and culture it is music. By the widening of meaning its perceptions develop in the average individual in precisely the same manner as do any other forms of perceptions. The musical World of the Poly has grown so rapidly in the past few years that it is now regarded as a most promising one. When the dream of Mr. John D. Losekamp comes true, then indeed, it Will not only be promising but will be flourishing. The branches of music reach out in all directions. Perhaps the largest is the piano. Splendid results have been manifested in the several public recitals given this year. The violin department also is accomplish- ing wonders. The girls' quartet, boys' quartet, Glee Club, choir, the first and second orchestras and the band will bear mention since they play a very great part in all the musical branches of the Polytechnic.-B.

The great majority of the students who really need the athletic training must stand on the sidelines and cheer for the select few who are playing. At the Polytechnic each boy has his place on a team. He may not have the strength or skill to become a state champion in athletics but he has the chance to play the game and to play his best, meanwhile developing into a healthy. well-poised man. The cuts in this Annual show two of the Hfteen teams organized and who did active Work this past year. The same plan was carried out in football, baseball and track athletics. During the winter months the gymnasium is open every day from 4: 00 to 45:00 and from 9:00 to 10:00 p. m. In addition to the above. teams representing the school in football, basketball, baseball and track are chosen from local teams which have been organized primarily for the development of the individual. During the fall term attention is given to football and the development of a rep- resentative team. All boys who do not care to participate in football are expected to take work in cross-country running or gymnasium exercises under the direction of the physical director. The hours between 9:00 and 10:00 p. m. is given over to such gymnasium work. Beginning with the mid-year term a local basketball tournament was arranged in which every boy who cared to do so played. Each team plays each other team at least two or three times. At the con- clusion of the series the team having the highest percentage is declared the winner and a trophy is presented to them to be hung in the chapel. From the above local teams a representative team composed of the best players in school is chosen to meet outside teams. All boys who do not take an active part in the above tournament are expected to put in two hours weekly in gymnasium work. NVith the beginning of the spring term attention is turned to baseball and track. Local games are arranged among the faculty, Pioneer So- ciety, Eagle Society, Engineers. Business Men, etc. From these various organizations one representative team is chosen to meet all outside con- testants. Local track meets are held in which the individual point win- ner is awarded a gold medal. In order to win this he must have had an excellent standing in his scholastic work during the preceding terms. As in the other terms those who do not participate in athletic work are ex- pected to take gymnasium work two hours each week. Such gymnasium work is continued throughout the first year of the student's life at the Polytechnic, unless excused by the president of the Institution. eForty-iive- Cb-X - . 1 .. .. 4g-...........................

By observing a high standard. cleaner athletics have been promoted, and finer teams turned ont. Much of our success in the past two years has been due to the efforts of our coach, Chas. E. Canup, who is a graduate of De Pauw University with the class of 1914. While at De Pauw Mr. Canup took an active part in all athletics. After graduating he coached championship teams during the year of 191-l-15 in an Indiana High School. Since coming here he has produced some of the best teams in Montana. The Athletic Association 'was formed this year as usual and elected the following ofncersr President. Verne Asbridgeg Vice President, Norris Langstong Secretary and Treasurer. Close. FUUTBALL. Football this year started out with a bang: many new men came out for practice, and with six of last year's veterans formed a good foundation for a winning team. A tackling dummy was bought and set up, which proved to be an amusing as well as a helpful feature of the game. Our first game was with Billings High. Although we were defeated 16-6 our boys showed their makings when they made their touchdown in the last quarter. The next game was at Sheridan, and again we were defeated 7-O. But following this our boys hit their stride. Fergus High was the first to go down in front of us 24-0, and Billings High soon fol- lowed 34-6. This game ended the season. but next year we expect many of the old players back so are looking forward to a finer, better team. Let's all work for it. The second team played an important part this year and much credit is due them for it always takes a good second team to make a first team. 0l'H LIXEI'P: L. E.-F. VValsh. L. T.-H. Bolles. L. G.-A.

Three of last year's first team and two of the second team made up the first team this year. They played the strongest teams in Montana, even defeating Butte, the winners of the State Championship. Please take notice of our total soore as compared with that of our opponents. Although some players perhaps stand above others in scoring, they are only one part of the machine which makes a perfect team. I ARTHUR t Art J EKLUND, L. F. Although small, Art proved to be our best forward. He covered the whole floor on defensive and was extremely quick both at shooting and passing. 1 A LLOYD t NVeinie J NVENTWORTH, C.

Fred Carpenter, Nelson Mercier, Oscar Anderson, Carl Husemeyer, Louie Hyem, Elmer Harnack. They played several outside games with the smaller High Schools of the vicinity and they too proved to be winners. Besides the First and Second teams there were also twelve tourna- ment teams. ln the tournament held every boy was expected to play, thereby some good material was developed that had hitherto been in the background. The Winners ot the tournament were the KKK, consisting of Ross, Slawson, G. Staudt, N. Langston and Grant. We hope to make these tournaments a yearly feature. SECOND TEAM REUORID. Games. Field Goals.

The new tennis courts have been iinished and much enthusiasm over the game was shown last fall. As a result several good players were discovered. A tournament was started, but on account of bad weather had to be called off. This spring a tennis team representing the Poly has a match with Billings Hi. The decisions seem in doubt, but we can only hope the Poly comes out ahead. -Fifty-one-- W rj?-X - l ' Q ' ' ' 'nf Y - Za. 2252? 1 F2 rx I W, l 1 X85 1, A J x, I 'x Xb: X G J I x.J L...

XVe are now commencing a new administration. Having received invaluable experience from the last term's proceedings, we of- ficers should fill our positons and perform our duties in a much smoother and better way than the officers of the past. When the weighty responsibility of student government was first assumed last fall everything was new and un- organized, everything had to be A'G,0L1VER tried out. When the legislature first came together they found things which did not at all fill the needs of the state at the present time. This time we have a newly adopted constitution and adapted to the needs of the present state. lVe have modern court procedure and other things to make a govern- ment modern. There are still a few weak points that we must work to overcome, and I intend to encourage very strongly their intelligent solu- tion. In my message to the Legislature which will be given sometime in the near future I intend to make very plain the need of a law pertaining to the recall of officers and shall also explain the need of Initiative and Referendum laws. I shall try to explain the important position each holds and show the necessity of putting aside all their timidity and working for the good of the State of Polytechnic. I shall uphold and encourage the officers in enforcing all laws to the letter and I desire to impress upon them the importance of laying aside all thoughts of friendly ties when it comes to a choice between friendship and duty.-If a friend interferes with the performing of your duties, he is no longer your friend. Our population here is 100 per cent larger than any previous year. XVith large number of students new conditions arise, new laws must be made, and it is the purpose of this administration to enforce every law on the statute book. If any law is wrong or does not serve the purpose for which it was intended, let that law be changed by the Legislature. But as long as that law does remain on the statute book, let it be lived up to, tc the letter. Ours is a great opportunity. Never before has a band of young people been given the privilege of self-government like this. We, the coming citizens of the American nation, are given this chance to be trained for citizenship in a model state. Shall we not be true to our trust?

NORTH, ex-Pastor of the Polytechnic Church 'l'll E l'0LY'l'EI'HNIl' VHURUH. The Poly Church, as in other years, has had an important place. The Vesper Services each Sunday afternoon have been sources of inspira- tion to the entire student body and faculty. Rev. Walter H. North, Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Billings who is counted one of the greatest preachers in the State. in addition to the exacting work of his own church took on the extra work of the Vesper Services much to the gratification of the college. It was to our sincere regret that in March he found his time so taken up that he felt compelled to relinquish his work with us. The remainder of the year Vespers was supplied by various pastors in Billings and other men of prominence who were passing through the city. Special meetings were held in January under the leadership of Rev. Chas. A. Phipps of Portland, Oregon, and by Rev. J. A. Brooks, pastor of the College Church of Wheaton, Illinois, during Passion Week. A large number of students and faculty joined the church at Easter time. The members of the church are looking forward to the time when, with the growth of the school and the city. there will be a fine College Church near or on the campus and are realizing the importance of the present efforts to have the church till a large place in student life at the Polytechnic. -Fil'tY-four- U gf? f ' S V A 'html 'A'A kv' S' : m'W ' ' T 'fx-rj, . fb CD L X!

Regular Sunday evening meetings have been held, with special music under the leadership of the different members. Our topics for discussion were such as Prayer: The Purpose of Powerg Is Money a Curse or a Blessingg Little Everyday Kindnessesg Be Sure to Look at the Living: What Is It to Be a Christian. One Sunday of each month has been taken for mission study. VVe had several interesting topics on foreign countries such as Japan, China, and also one very interesting discussion on the work in the slums of Chicago. Aside from our own Y. W. leaders among the girls. we had Miss Scott, the Northwest field secretary, Miss Hanna, Mrs. Krueger, Miss Rice, Miss Burner and Miss Hopkins. The latter is the secretary of the Northwest and was with us several days. Cabinet meetings have been held regularly once a month and a few special meetings have been called. We sent two delegates to the cabinet conference which was held in Missoula last fall. The social gatherings in connection with the Y. VV. have been of great interest. VVe have had fudge parties, weinie roasts on the Rim- rocks and a number of lunches after the Sunday evening meetings. Wie have the pick of the girls in our cabinet, namely Alice Kildahl for president, Sarah Morse as vice president, and Jessie Kress, Pauline Nelson and Miss Straw fill the offices of secretary, treasurer and advisory officers. We are looking forward to better times than ever for our Y. W. next year. -Fifty-five- 1 l THE GOSPEL TEAM TH E Y. M. C. A. As an organization we have not been very active this year. This is to our shame, and the less said the better. But in a more general way we have done things of which we are not ashamed. Old-timers whose judgment goes deeper than surface manifestations have remarked time and again that never did our Poly fellows show such a percentage of genuine religious conviction and deep desire to be of real use in the world as they have this year. A delegation consisting of Frank Hunter, Robert Ayers, Victor NVard, Guy Barnes and Professor Prussman represented Poly at the State Con-- vention held in Great Falls during November. Following this two volunteer study classes were started among the fellows, each with an enrollment of fifteen. One class met each Sunday for twelve weeks to study Fordick's Meaning of Prayerf' while the other met on Thursday night with Raschenbusches' Social Principles of Jesusf, as a text. This latter class was led by State Student Secretary for Montana, Mr. P. L. Corbin, who at much personal inconvenience, managed to be with us regularly. We take this opportunity to express sincere apprecia- tion of the help rendered our fellows by this truly good man. During April and May the Poly Gospel Team, consisting of a male quartet and three speakers, visited many of the neighboring towns and were everywhere honored with the invitation to come again. Our team consisted of Beall, Willis, Carpenter, Leitner, Hankins and Barnes. Three of our fellows have actively aligned themselves with the com- munity work in South Billings, Mr. Barnes as superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. Hankins as a junior teacher and singer in the church choir, and Mr. Harpole, a last year student, as director of the Community Boys' Club. -Fifty-six- I ' I -A is i v 'v W'o o 1 ei, , ra rx I X I , is 5' Dr , Q ' L1 I S53 ...Z -vs -1'. -QJVIE Y12-'e'nas.

Fu ALPHA LITERAR Y SOCIETY The Alphas still retain their old ability to work. Consider how the enrollment has increased, due largely to the fact that the members are steady workers. Two very successful programs have been given, the first being the Hallowe'en celebration which no doubt is remembered by all. The later date was December 16th, and was equally enjoyed. The private programs given each Friday evening have been bene- ficial to those taking part and to the society as a whole. A new staff of officers was elected during the latter part of January. We have a reliable person for each office and we feel sure they will con- tinue to act to the best of their ability in the work given them. A basketball team has been organized in each society, one game be- ing played. The Alphas were not victorious, but they were good losers. The society pledged 2540 to the Gym fund, but only half of this has been turned in as yet. Great things are being planned for the future of the society and con- sidering the old members and their talents combined with those of the new ones of next year, the outlook is very promising.

The meeting was opened with a great deal of spirit and enthusiasm, which is always char- acteristic of the Eagles. Among the new students we discovered some fine talent in music, oratory and athletics. Later in the year the society took up the proposition of supplying its members with pins as an emblem to represent the societyg after some dis- cussion and debating a very neat and attractive design was decided upon. You can now always tell an Eagle by glancing at the lapel of his coat. Several public programs were rendered during the year representing our talent, in which everybody was very much interested. Now as the curtain is about to fall on another year we come back to our motto, Aut Mori, aut Vinceref' We know we have been true to our faith, loyal to our purpose and ever ready for duty. As the victorious Eagle that is king ofthe air soars high above mountains and rivers in the clear blue sky. so do we stand high in all society work. EAGLE ROSTER.

The number increased steadily until there are at present twenty-eight bright, enthusiastic members. They immediately began work and gave some very interesting private pro- grams. Later in the year they gave an exceptionally Hue public program in which each and every one took her part. A pledge of 9550.00 was made for the gymnasium fund. That. seems quite large does it not? Well-is-they secured a good big half of it in due time anyhow and the remainder is on its Way. Prussman: NVhat is the difference between 'lectricity and lightning?

One Hollafwiday a Hunter started on a Search for a Carpenter to re- pair a Leak in his Vfoodhouse. A Shepard passing by with the missing Link told him that the rain that Fell the Day before had swollen the stream until the Ford to the House was impassable. But with the aid of a Niethammer the Carpenter made a Black bridge from the Peak of the Little field to the in-Kline on the other side. The Miller then came out to sell them some water-Kress for a Penny or a Nichol but they declined the offer as both of them had Eaton Rice and a Pickle in the North house but a short time before. A Guy now started to Meta Pearl but instead a weary XVilley came across the Lee. Aho! Sweet sir, said he, I have here a Beall that will Howell for the whole Kamp if you Lay it on its Handel.

During the past year the Pioneers have busied themselves with en- tertainments, debates, and other private and public programs. What is a better maturing ground than the college society room for individual and independent thought? Here the problems of the day are discussed and debated. New theories are expounded and criticized. Unexpected talents are discovered and developed. Here, not in the frat house or club house, do the men who are to attract the attention of our nation in the coming years acquire their early training, and here do they receive the inspira- tions that will lead them at some time to revolutionize their world. lu other words, the society is the birth-place of the PIONEER. This is the ideal we have kept before us through the past years of our existence, and which We hope Will be the aim of those who will follow after, who in their turn will dominate the spirit of the Pioneer Literary Society.

Edward Wilson, James Color in Common Things There is a lot of color in the commonest of things-that is if you have an eye for possibilities, an appreciation for all things, and a sense of proper handling. Take for instance the common old corn husks. The average person fails to notice the delicate colorings which nature gave to them, yet clever fingers we find, can Weave them into most artistic and durable baskets. DON'T WASTE YOUR CORN HUSKS. Perhaps your scrub woman is a corn husk, your cook, or your waitress. Etienne, th fat cook at the Plaza Grill was decorated last year for conspicuous gallantry. Litle Marie, cloak maid at the congress, died in the Red Cross service, because she was not Willing to take enough of her time from the wounded soldiers to care for herself. The corn husks of humanity are important. Do not seek only the mortals who are at the center of affairs. and who are choicest and sweetest at the expenses and by the protection of the husks.

They had just come from Chicago to spend a couple of weeks with their friends, Harry and Elsie Landon who lived in Colorado. The Landon's had a beautiful log cabin in the center of a small valley, from which huge mountains rose on all sides. The cabin had one large living room with a huge tire plac-e. The walls were lined with shelves filled with books which looked especially interesting to one member of the party. The sleeping quarters were tents. Around the cabin was a large porch with wicker chairs. tables, hammocks, and all things that make camping comfortable. Less than a mile away was a small mountain stream where there was trout fishing. Further down the valley was a miniature lake with two rowboats and a canoe tied to the landing. As the tired guests reached the porch. Mrs. Landon came out to meet them with hearty greetings. 1 am glad your train was on time because I had planned to have supper at the lake tonight. The cook is packing the hampers now. The bell rings at five-thirty and by that time, l hope you will be ready to go. Umm, burst out Dick Stanford, usually called, Stuffy, I believe I could eat the whole thing without waiting for any body else. Please, Mrs. Landon. can't I have some cookies? You can if you are able, Fred, said Mrs. Landon laughing. After supper that night it was a tired but happy party who agreed that they had found a delightful place for their vacation. The following week was filled with picnics, rowing, fishing and tramping. Nothing ex- citing had happened, however. so the boys decided to have one day of mountain climbing. This was to settle a dispute about the distance to the cave called the Two Eyes. To the boys of the East, it seemed a very short way. They started at sunrise and tramped along, laughing and joking un- til about noon. Travel was hard and slow now. for the mountain slope up which they were making their way was densely overgrown with scrub oak. The day was very hot and the air had suddenly become close and stifling. My! but this is a scorcher. It's sure to breed a storm, exclaimed Tom, the most cautious of the party. We seem as far away from the cave as when we started. Let's turn back. Just look at that cloud! Fred stopped and looked at the sky. Pooh! thatis only a thunder storm. What's the use of going home now, when we've got this far? Come along Harry, we will go on but the rest may go back home if they wish. I'm not going to let a thunder storm keep me from seeing the cave. So it happened that Fred and Harry went on, while the rest re- turned. , There was not a breath of wind. The sky looked dark and cloudy, and by the middle of the afternoon, big clouds began to rise swiftly in the south. As they moved on the pair kept a sharp lookout for a place that would offer some protection from the storm. Look there! a houselu cried Fred suddenly, as they climbed a bare ridge. More than a mile away, in a small clearing on the mountain side. stood a log cabin, -vSixty-nine- M ,vig X . A' - -'----- -f- ---e.--- A ' ' nw .

' Suddenly a vivid blaze seemed to burst from the mountain top, while instantaneously the thunder crashed deafeningly. There was another terrific clap of thunder, and then the rain came, first in big drops, then in a deluge. The boys reached the cabin just as there was another burst of thunder. the rain pouring down like a cloud burst. The old cabin proved to be only a partial shelter. Rain came through the roof in streams and the boys had to move from place to place to keep dry. Late that night the rain stopped, but the small stream that the boys had crossed that morning, had swelled to a madly rushing river. The boys became worried and confused for they did not know the other trail and could not cross the swollen stream. Most of the next day was spent in gathering what firewood they could find. This was no easy matter, moreover they were beginning to get very hungry and tired. Their only hope lay in having enough tire- wood to make a signal to the searching party whom they felt sure would be in the mountains nearby. They had only two matches and they knew that it would be disastrous if they failed. However they decided to make a try. Fred collected some very fine shavings by way of preparation and just as soon as it was dark, they started the fire which soon blazed up making a fine red light. The boys anxiously waited to see if the damp wood underneath would catch fire. The shavings started up but the rather damp wood underneath would not burn. I guess we will have to Iind dryer wood than this, muttered Harry. Still I can't see where we are to find it. Maybe we can get some in some of these caves, suggested Fred. It seems to me there ought to be some around here. I'll wager that there is a cave over in that funny little mountaing besides it is on the sheltered side. There ought to be some dry wood theref' I went over that way today and l didnit see anything, answered Harry, but we'll go again just the same. Fred was right for there was a cave, also plenty of dry firewood. Thank goodness. said Harry, Perhaps we can yet have a fire to- night. The boys carried the wood over to their former abode and soon had a bright fire which lighted up the whole mountain side. Within an hour a shout was heard, and the lonesome boys still watching the fire, sprang to their feet. They listenedg again they heard the call. This time Fred answered and in a few minutes the searching party were with them. lf it hadn't been for your fire, I'm afraid you would have had to stay here another day. VVe were just going the other way, when we saw your Href' Well, I am glad you saw it because I couldntt have stood it another day without three good meals, said Fred. I know one thing for sure now, returned Harry, I'll never take Fred's advice again. -DOROTHY THOMAS.

The passengers had all settled back comfortably in the luxuriously cushioned seat except Gritli. She sat bolt upright smiling and nodding good-bye, but unable to hide her excitement. The Postillion, or driver, a strong, well built Swiss, smiled as he closed the door and climbed to his place. Isle knew that Gritli was going to Chur on a visit, but that it was not the thought of the relatives she would see which made the blue eyes bright and almost black with excitement. It was her Hrst long trip in the stage coach and over the great Viamala. He still smiled as, gathering up the reins, he, cracked his whip and the four horses started with a merry jingle of bells. Turning to the conductor, who had climbed up beside him instead of taking his usual place at the back, he said, I wonder if ilritli Schwarz will be as 'thrilled' over the scenery as the American lady was? The conductor laughed. That American lady was interested in you. She asked me about your family. The smiling face of the driver clouded. He thought of his invalid wife who was, as he well knew, even then caring for their little son who was sick. lt was hard to make both ends meet. But they were doing their best and were thankful that he was well and strong. ln the meantime the passengers in the coach were enjoying them- selves in various ways. llesides tlritli and her father there were two other men who seemed to be greatly interested in a discussion of some kind. Mr. Schwarz had his own problems so his daughter was left to herself. She sat silent, gazing out of the window at the beautiful valley, and wondering if the trip would be uneventful. She hoped not. The road, as are all roads in Switzerland, was smooth and well cared for so there were no bumps to interrupt her dreams. The meadows were fresh and green, dotted with many bright-hued flowers. Although she was used to seeing a meadow surrounded by mountains and made brilliant with forget-me-nots, daisies, blue bells, alpine roses, and other Swiss iiowers, she never tired of the scene nor failed to appreciate it. Sometimes they passed a herd of cows grazing near the road and the chime of their bells mingled faintly with those on the horses' bridles. But the valley was growing narrower and Gritli grew more interested. Finally they reach- ed Andeer, the place where they stopped long enough to change horses and partake of refreshments. The scenery beyond Andeer was entirely new to Gritli. There were no gay sloping meadows now. The valley had narrowed until it was no more than a deep, narrow canyon. The road wound along the sides, twisting around huge cliffs. Turning to her father Gritli asked, How far is it to the Verlornes Loch?', Not far now,'i and he smiled at her excitement, but you must not expect a fast ride down the hill. We cannot go faster than a walk. Oh,i' in a disappointed tone, l thought we would go fast if it is steep it would be such fun. Why can't we?', XVell, the regulations are very strict, but they need to be. .lust at the foot of the hill is a turn and a Kaenzeli Clook-outl so if one goes fast he may not be able to make the turn but would be banged against the wall or go on over into the ravine which is over seven hundred feet. It -Seventy-twoi bg' I 6' . s I T swf hi J ' L1 J 4513 - saw- , M... N- . ij . . fr 1-. ' 1.: w:--' Q 1'f . - -'f' 1 - A- would be impossible for the driver to keep his seat if he didn't use the brakes. Goodness! But look! Isn't it pretty. And Gritli gasped in admira- tion at the grandeur of the canyon. It was enclosed on each side by high towering walls of black granite covered with dark pines. The road was cut out of the granite and a low stone wall protected travelers from go- ing over the side into the deep ravine at the bottom of which the Rhine made its way. From the road it looked like a narrow streak of silver. They had already crossed it at a great height and Gritli knew that they would have to do so two more times. Beyond Zillis they overtook and passed a four-horse team heavily loaded-with long poles. As they pulled to the outside in order to pass it Gritli gave one look down. Oh, isn't it awful? It makes me dizzy, and she drew back shuddering. And you wanted to go down hill lickety-bang. But we are almost at the Verlornes Loch. Gritli stretched her neck and tried to see ahead. They were starting down the hill. Oh, if only she were on top of the coach. Then as she glanced up she saw the conductor leaning over and looking back, his face the picture of terror. Almost the same instance the driver's whip cracked and the horses sprang forward, the brakes were thrown off and down the hill they dashed. The coach swayed and rumbled while Gritli's face re- flected the terror she had seen in the conductor's. Why this isn't going slow, she cried grasping her father's arm. No, I can't understand it, and the men all looked at each other in amazement. But the driver did understand. Hearing a racket behind he and the conductor glanced back and were terrified to see the horses hitched to the load of logs tearing down upon them. The conductor crouched low but the driver whipped the horses into a gallop. He could save the passengers. Down tore the stage with the load of logs thunder- ing behind. The driver tightened his grasp on the reins. Could he make the turn? Or would they all be swept over the wall? Summoning all his strength he swung the leaders around. There was a sudden loud crash and jar. which sent the driver over the wall and huddled the passengers to one side with broken glass. But they were not hurt and breaking open the door on the other side sprang out. Quick as they had gotten out they could hear a thump, thump. thump, as one of the leaders hitched to the load of logs rolled down the ravine. There were the groans and shrieks of his mate that had lodged in a tree a little distance down. Then Mr. Schwarz pushed his daughter aside and running to the wall looked over. He motioned for the others to do likewise. They did. There, still grasping the reins. hung the driver. The stage horses were running and plunging because of the pull on their bits. Seizing the reins they drew him up, at the same time quieting the horses. They were joined by the conductor who had jumped from the coach before the horses had started to gallop. Gritli stood pale and trembling while the men after finding the driver was not hurt turned their attention to the load of logs. It had run straight into the wall, the leaders going over and the other two horses being jammed between the logs and the wall. The owner now came running up, took in the situation at a glance and gasped. No one hurt? Good. Then he added. 'tmy brakes failed to work. Heavy load pushed the horses and frightened them. I jumped. -Seventy-three- E, , . - ,ggi A re 0 L y lates t ' I '. 3 if I I- ' ffm X - ix..-W Y www nr.-:Til 'Qshgk , Hearing a rattle of wheels behind they turned and saw the baggage wagon, which follows the coach, coming. This added another man to the group and so taking ropes they attempted to draw the horse up, but the ropes broke and he rolled down after the Hrst, bounding from rock to rock n11til he was out of sight. l3armherziger IIimmel! It was the baggage man who broke the silence, but I thank my lucky stars I stopped at Zillis and so wasn't be- hind you. Yes, two teams could never have made the turn. It was a miracle that we did, and the passengers all looked at their driver. Any animal, human or not, that has ever gone over the Velornes Loch has never been round. Ile is pounded to pulp long before he strikes the Rhine. It was a miracle. Why if you all had-A Shut up, growled the driver and, turning he smiled somewhat wanly at Gritli, Come, you will have to finish your tirst trip over the Viamala on the baggage wagon. At least as far as Thusisf' ln spite of himself his voice trembled. As she stood there so pale Gritli reminded him of his wife. What if he had been--. Hut he was interrupted by the conductor. Mart, he said, you saved these lives by taking the one chance in ten thousand. Ilow did it come you didn't jump? Didn't think of it, let's go. No more was said until they reached Thusis. Then the story was told and the driver became known for what he was, a hero. He risked his own life and so saved four others. A purse was made up and presented to him which he at first refused, but when Gritli came to him and said simply, take it, you earned it. I know Mattie would like her Postillion to take it. Mattie was his wife. He accepted the purse. But later he received a letter which said that the writer had been im- pressed by the story of his unselfish bravery and knowing that his wife was not well, begged him to accept the enclosure. Indeed she gave him no choice but to accept for the letter was signed, An American Lady. He and the conductor had a pretty definite idea of what the lady looked like but did not know who she was. And the enclosure, several hundred dollars, was badly needed. -FLORENCE ROBINSON. Canup: You are all out of condition. Have you been smoking? VVieni: Not at all.

Every few minutes we stopped to listen and then proceeded cautiously upon our slow journey. Why such secrecy and all this care? We were in the Garden of the Gods, a place where white men had never before trodden. Hark. exclaimed Jim, my companion. XVe stopped and listened. What did you hear? I whispered at the same time, crouching low beside him. Look out there. Do you see that squatty building? Yes, I said, but what of it? By this time I was sure l heard a shout. I think I saw a man disappear inside, whispered Jim. Do you think he saw us? I asked. We will soon know. If he did we are in a bad fix. You know as well as I do what it means to get caught here. Well we will have to make the best of it. We knew what chances we were taking when we started. I replied. We turned to retrace our steps and go around the building. Jim gave a cry and reached for his gun. I followed suit, but too late. Several brown-skinned men sprang upon us and wrenched the guns from our hands. Their leader gave an order and we were marched toward the low building. Our only hope is to take them unaware, said Jim looking side- ways at me from where he marched tied with is hands behind his back. The door flew open and a couple of men entered, motioning to us to go to another door. We walked through and over to a very richly decorat- ed building. Inside were several men all dressed in rich Oriental style. Jim, I believe they are going to pass sentence on us, I said, growing weak at the thought of what the sentence was sure to be. A deathlike silence fell on the place and a man stepped forward and peered into our faces. For what reason did you enter this garden '? he demanded in ex- cellent English. Jim thought a minute and then said: We lost our way and did not know where we were. You lie, said the Oriental. You came here to steal the Green Idol. Your reward shall be the Snake Pet. He motioned toward the door and Jim disappeared escorted by a guard. As for you, he said turning to me, take this ring and tap the bottom of that vase on the inside. If it rings you shall go free? I put my hand in the vase. There was a thud and I jerked my hand from the vase. Two little round holes showed in the skin on the back of my hand. I stared at the reddening spots and then at the vase from which arose the head of a Cobra. My thoughts grew hazy. I heard a bell ring faintly. It grew louder and louder. I heard a roar and a shout. I thought of Jim. I started up, now fully awake. Somebody was racing down the hall shouting First bellf' I gave a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and decided, no more midnight feeds for me. -Seventy-six- A ag I iit -.
