Buzz was one of the veteran football men this year, having been on the team for the two years previous. Throughout the season he played brilliantly and brought us much honor. He also managed the team. He has been a member of the Tennis team and last year was manager. He is a member of Pi Delta Koppa and Crown and Shield Honor, and is a member of the Bell Staff. ERWIN FRANCIS SWEITZER. Kelley blew into High School about four years ago and has been decorating the establishment ever since much to its annoyance. In appearance he is saint like, but appearances sometimes deceive. For proof of this get him out with Beans sometime and watch the fun. He has been a member of the Board of Representatives for the past two years and was last year's school reporter. He is Supervis- ing Manager of athletics and is Business 4Manager of the BELL, besides belonging to Senate. KATHLEEN GRACE HENNINGSEN' A more popular girl and a harder worker for the class cannot be found. Kath has always found time for class work and has ever been ua leader in our social functions. She plays basket ball, besides being Student Body secretary. She was last year's class secretary and belongs to Delta Omega, Mask and Scroll and Philalethea. She is a josh editor of the BELL. PERCY WALTON MACMILLAN. Doc is one of our great football heroes, having played for three years on the team and this year captained it. He has a strong tendency for rough house, but always managed never to get into any trouble through it. He belongs to Gamma Eta Kappa and Crown and Shield Honor, and is one of the artists on the present BELL. 17 l AGNES ROSS MILLER. A quiet girl With a World of fun to let loose on proper occasions. She says little and thinks much, and perhaps that is Why she is graduating with such good records. She is a member of the Art Club. , CHARLES RUDD BROMLEY. Tall and business-like. One would think him a learned Doctor of Philosophy to see him stroll through the halls. He is possessed of a goodly store of Wit and is not loath to rough house in the least. He belongs to the Orchestra and is a member of Logeion and Beta Phi. OLYMPIA EDITH ZANETTI. She is new to our ranks but in a short six months has jumped into popularity with a bound. She says she enjoys a good time and from what We have seen of her We would hate to doubt her Word. , 18 n I l MARY EMILY GRAY. One has but to look at her to pick her out as just bubbling over with fun and enthusiasm. She is short and plump, and has a smile that makes everyone feel friendly toward her. She has been Secretary of the class and Was last year's Student Body Secretary. She is a member of the Girls' Glee, Delphic, Delta Omega, and is Exchange Editor of the BELL. , , GUY CHERRIE ENTRIKEN.' Beans is famous around these halls for his cut little sayings and ways, and for his great curiosity regarding the Why and Wherefore of things. He is always on top when fun predominates, and a rough house Without his cute little dimple in it would be hardly con- ceivable. He is a member of the Orchestra and has been its manager. Besides this he is school reporter, Assistant Business Manager of the BELL, and is a member of Gamma Eta Kappa. Some people thought it risky trusting him with the class money but we do not fear the results. CLARA RUDD MILLER. This is a splendid opportunity of seeing Clara Without her sister. It Was a shame to separate them but We did so Want to see how she looked without Agnes. She is possessed of a quiet dis- position, but We have heard that she is not so quiet as she looks. She is one of the artists of the BELL and a member of the Art Club. A 19 WILLIAM ELLIOTT BAKER. He has the honor of being the smallest man in the class, but this did not stop him from jumping into things and making himself well liked by all. He was President of the class during his Junior year and during the past two years has been manager of the school Herald.. He is a member of Gamma Eta Kappa and of Senate. VEVA ORLENA BLOOD. For jollity and agreeableness Veva cannot be beat. She is always ready for a good time and has helped keep the class in good spirits considerably. Here greatest hobby is studying. DONALD WALLACE RICHARDS. What the school will do without Dooley We don't know! Surely it will miss him after he has been so accommodating as to remain for the past six years. He is a firm believer in the value of knowledge but never liked to expose himself to the education disease much. He is a member of Pi Delta Koppa, Mask and Scroll, and Senate, and has made, in the past two years, a name for himself in dramatics. 20 GENEVIEVE LUCILLE GAGLIARDO. The only thing sheis renowned for in High School is her great love for Mathematics. She says she just loves Geometry and simply adores Professor Bryant. She is jolly and always ready for a hearty laugh and a good time. She is a member of Circulo Hispanico. GEORGE ALBERT BRYANT. George edited the school Herald up to about a month ago and became quite popular in the literary World, especially in Santa Clara. C?J For rough house he is a wonder, there being nothing he is afraid to do. He has the splendid record of having cut more days than anybody else in school and is still able to graduate. He is a member of Senate and is on the present BELL staff. ' HATTIE MILLS BEALE. Tall, fair and sedate, and, to mention a minor detail, as Wise as Wise can be. She and Edna Plummer seem insepa- rable and to see either one alone at school would be a surprise. When she is with us, she is always jolly, helping to keep the class in good spirits. She is a member of Philalethia. 21' LOUIS LEIBE. A man with a scientific inclination that will some day bring him good returns. A short While ago he switched from the academic course to the commercial and as a consequence We have seen little of his smiling face in our class room. He receives diplomas from both the com- mercial and academic departments. - LENNA ADA MULHOLLAND. One of' our shining lights among the girls. She is a great basket ball player and is this year's manager. She is short and Jolly, although the least bit timid When masculinity puts in an appearance. JOHN HAUCK. To hear him recite in class one might think that Anthony or some other old Roman orator had returned to life. With hair on end he sends his deep bass voice resounding through the room like thunder much to the pleasure of the pupils of his classes. He is a con- firmed queener. 22' A . , lx - WARREN HASTINGS. I If it was not for the Wise ones of our class We do not know what we would do. Possessed of a keen ability for grasping things and a fertile brain, Warren has managed to collect quite an assort- ment of A's of which he is proud. He never did anything out of the way and We cannot tease him so We Will let him graduate in peace. NETTIE MAUDE VINES. A quiet girl and therefore hard to say any- thing about. She has always supported the class loyally and is one of our most respected members. She had quite a stormy time of it with civics, but managed to breast it and land in safety. WARDELL BUCKLEY KAMMERER. A conscientious and hard worker and one Who deserves every point he possesses. I-le is one who be- lieves in a good time but believes in work before play, and that's right. Folks say he once queened a girl but We can hardly believe it possible. 23 A l RAYMOND WILLIAM FISHER. Red is anotlier one of our football heroes, having been a member of the team for the past two years. He has gained quite a reputation for himself in the line of eating during his stay in High, his weakness being pie. A queener of no mean ability, he makes a grand hit with the ladies. He is a member of Senate, and Athletic Editor of the Bell, besides being Class Orator and Vice President. MARGARET JOSEPHINE GTLCHRIST. Bubbling over with fun and jollity, she has won her way into the hearts of the entire class. Possessed of a charming smile she flashed it on the Dix and they have been burdened with her ever since. She is a member of the Board of Reps. and Bell- Herald Committee, and has served on the Bell Staff. FRANK PHILIPP GRIBNER. For four years leader of the '10 Comic Opera Company. As a freshman he won fame for rough house and it has stuck to him ever since. He has cultivated a laugh that cannot be equalled for shrillness and he loves to let it loose during assembly and most any place where quiet is supposed to reign supreme. During his course in High Dutch has been quite busy, having for two years served as Josh Editor on the Bell, and in 1908 as Assistant Editor. He has served for two years on the Board of Reps. and has been Representative-at-Large and Vice President of the Student Body. Besides this he is Athletic Editor of the School Herald and a member of the Bell-Herald Committee and is serving his second term as Baseball Manager. His strong point is Drama- tics, having for the past three years been leading Comedian in the Student Body Shows. He is a member of Gamma Eta Kappa, Senate, Mask and Scroll and Crown and Shield Honor. If he does not like anything in this article he may omit it for he is this semester's Editor of the BELL. 24 ISABEL ROWELL. Full of jollity and overflowing with class spirit, Isabel has passed through her four years of High School life a joy to every- one. She is an enthusiastic Basket Ball player and has served as -Manager of the team. She belongs to Delta Omega, Mask and Scroll and is also Class Secretary. ' JOHN STOCK MARTEN. A Freshman once said, Gee, but he is skinny, and John hasn't gotten over it yet-he is still Skinny. He is a jolly good fellow and, incidentally is always willing to mingle in any rough house that is near by. Ecclesia didn't plug up the key hole very tight one day, and so Skinny sneaked in and has been bothering them ever since. MARGUERITA MYLES MCDER-MOTT. Agreeable and ever wishing to please people, Marguerita has reached her graduation with flying colors and a host of friends to bid her bon voyage upon the sea of life. 25' SADIE MARGARET SHIELDS. Quiet and therefore hard to write about. She works hard at her lessons, and perhaps that is why she is so quiet. She and a few others have willingly borne up under the hard strain of keeping up our reputation in wisdom. JOHN LEWIS MCDONALD. His greatest joy is his beautiful hair of golden hue, but sometimes he forgets this and furnishes us music that would make a king sit up and take notice. Many of the girls have tried to capture him but he will have none of them for his heart followed the class that preceded us. He is a member of Logeion and is Manager of the Orchestra. l ELSIE EMMA ERNST. Of a quiet disposition, she has plodded faith- fully along with the class, getting her lessons day by day and causing no- body any trouble. Perhaps if more were like her Miss Phelps would rest in peace during registration hour. 26 FRANK MASANAO MIZUZY. He apologized once because he didn't show up at a class meeting and that is more than any of the rest of the class would do. His strong point is Physics although he does everything else well. He is one of the jolliest little fellows amongst us and is always ready for a good time. EDNA PLUMMER. A student of rare ability and one who was never known to say, I don't know, during her High School career. Although extremely quiet she has loads of class spirit' and is ever working for the best ends of the class. She is a member of Philalethia and is Class Historian. BUN J IRO ITO. They say he is a decendant of a royal Japanese family but we are not certain. It is enough for us to know that he is a royal good fellow. In Civics he could put any of us to shame in discussions on our own government, much to Mrs. Pillot's merriment. He and Mizuzy make the second installment of Japanese boys to graduate from this High School. MARY LAPPIN. She registers in the Commercial department and therefore we see very little of her, but just the same we are glad to gradu- ate with her. Her records are of the best which makes us all the more proud of our association with her. MARIE WALKER. Marie spends more time at the Normal than with us so it's hard to say much about her. We only see her while in civics but that is enough to prove that she is an honor to us. She has a pleasant smile that we would like to see more of, but Normal seems to get it all. ' . 27 PART I.

Y 1 ADIES, Gentlemen, and Fellow Students: i xi On behalf of the graduating class of Feb- ruary, 1910, I take the greatest pleasure in E? welcoming you here this evening to these-our graduating exercises. - - After looking forward to this night during you to bid farewell and take leave of our studies, our teachers, and our high school life. We think-and justly think, that we have here laid a good foundation for that which we intend to make of ourselves in the future. b When we entered high school we all had a certain object in view-that of arming ourselves with the fundamental principles of education which are essential and necessary if we expect to be able to compete with other educated men whom we may meet in after years. However, if' we should leave the portals of this school thinking that book learning and nothing else means educa- tion, we should not have obtained that for which we were sent here. Although education is by far the most important factor, in school life, it is not by any means the only factor. For blended with it we find our athletic activities, and these in my estimation are second only to our studies, for so thoroughly are our muscles developed, so thoroughly are training rules enforced, that we are able to withstand the most severe tests that our strength is put to, in school as well as out. But above this we are taught to play a clean, gentlemanly, sportsmanlike game whether winning or losing, and in the opinion of many it takes as clever an athlete to play a good losing game as a good winning game. Side by side 29 with our athletic activities we find our various societies which are such important agents in developing and advancing these social relations which tend to make us more intimately connected with our fellow students and with our facultyg whom we have often disagreed with in the past, but now that our four years' are at an end we see that they were almost always in the right. And now that we are leaving, we, the members of the class, hold all the members of the San Jose High School faculty in highest estima- tion and appreciation for the kindness with which they have treated us and for the patience they have had with us. A Now that our high school course is at an end, the -great question for us to decide is: Are we goingto college or not? Sir Isaac Newton, the great English physicist, has said, To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We inter- pret this law to mean with reference to our school work, that whatever we put into our studies we are sure to take out, so we think that by putting in four years of good hard work at college we will tend to mount ourselves on that high educational pedestal which will justify us in every sense of the term, in calling our- selves educated people of an educated world. I wish to thank you for the interest you have taken in us. I wish to thank you for coming out this evening and helping us to make this turning point in our lives memorable, and once more on behalf of the graduating class of February 1910, I take great pleasure in welcoming you here this evening to these-our gradu- ation exercises. 5 X f' C Y x A it 'C I I M , ,Y WS 2 g 53 I A I i' , , UA 30 C1358 .

FISHER. 143 HERE there's a will, there's a way is Poor Richard's expression of the truth that the will by makes the path to victory. To reach any end by XZ will power one must overcome sinister and un- S V Z welcome obstacles by courage and endurance. Q0 The will of a person is measured by the amount of effort put forthg the power to say yes or no , or the power to say yes, I will or no, Iwill not , and then to act in accordance. Concerning effort Dr. James says, He who can make none is but a shadow, he who can make much is a hero. Everyone has a wish to conquer, but wishing and willing are not always the same thing. There are two kinds of will 5 the im- pulsive and the deliberative. With an impulsive person it is true that to wish is to actg a thought is followed by immediate eiort. He acts without realizing whether the move he makes be wise or unwise. Many valiant and brilliant deeds have been performed in this way where the impulse has been a right oneg but, on the other hand, untold misery has come from rash action. A person having a deliberative will studies before performing any deed, so that when he acts he knows his course and the result which will follow. He weighs the consequences and reasons out his course of action. The first character can solve a problem more quickly, but the second can solve more accurately. The second is less liable to make mistakes, but the first is better able to retrieve them. From the beginning of life the will is called into action, and even in the child we see oftentimes the conquering will. In our American schools a common sight is a young man doing what is 32 called working his way through school. He succeeds for he has the will to conquer, and when he has gained his education he is better fitted to use it than are those who take their education as a matter of course , and make no effort to benefit by its advantages. There are those who, at school, wish to be leaders in the different activities. He who leads his class in his studies, he who is the best debater, he who is the best athlete, each desires honors for which there is big competition, and which can be gained only by persistent and constant effort. In this school is a young man who wished to be a track athlete, a long distance runner. He began with nothing but the will to be a track man for he couldn't run at all., For a long while he worked hard, meeting discouragement with a smile and a resolve to train more. Then he began to improve. Today he is the best long distance runner in the school and has won many medals. After school life is over the student enters the wider world, and there wishes to make his mark -to make a success of whatever occupation he may enter. He must have the power to endure, the courage to undergo failure, the will to overcome all obstacles, in order that in the end he may reach the goal of his ambition. A The conquering will numbers its heroes by the thousands, and we find them overcoming difficulties of every kind. Demosthenes was a stuttering boy who wished to be an orator. He practised talking to the waves with ,pebbles in his mouth until finally he became the greatest orator of Greece and even today is recognized as one of the greatest orators the world has ever known. And not only in far distant ages-the times of Alexander and Caesar-do we find men of conquering will. Our own history, our own times give us many examples. General Grant said, when before Richmond in 1864, We will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer. His was the bulldog's will that Holmes is speaking of when he says : Stick to your aim: the mongrel's hold will slip, But only crowbars loose the bulldog's lip, Small as he looks, the jaw that never yields Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields. In spite of seeming insuperable difhculties Field laid the Atlantic cable. His plan was at first -ridiculed, but finally he obtained funds for the undertaking. At great expense of money and labor the first cable was laid only to be cut. The second time the cable was cut, but Field did not vvaver. He worked until a successful cable was laid and today, at any time, a message can be sent by electricity across the ocean. 33A As we review the deeds of great men we see that some have willed only their own personal gain while others have worked for the good of humanity, forgetting self. It seems that if great effort must be put forth in order to gain a desired end, it is well that that end be a worthy one. Let us have the will of a bulldog with the object of a General Grant. He was iighting for a nation and he was determined to save that nation from disunion, what- ever it might cost him. We have the power of choosing what we will do. Let us aim at achievements that will benefit others as well as ourselves. We may obtain success only by putting forth great eiort, but it will be vain glory if it does not help the world. A high and good aim, a mighty effort, then victory and satis- faction, because He Conquers Who Wills. U - 21351 ' . . 0 1 ' Qq:,1.v,! -4'e.-r. ..s1.4,i09 1 1 -.- n- '-imsszzg :,.

The people who are in the first year are called the Freshmen, the next year, Sophomore, the third' year, Juniors, and the fourth year, those whom the Freshmen call lofty Seniors, but who, in our own language, are These people differ from one another in lan- guage, habits, and laws, although the only barriers between them are the vacation times, from June to September. But the people that this manuscript is to be written about is the fourth year division, or, in other words, ourselves. T Every division is organized into an army, and when we first began our campaign four years ago against the Freshmen year, we were assigned to two captains,,Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Yocum. They led us on, till, on the seventeenth of April, we held a camp- meeting for the purpose of obtaining a better organization, and elected our first lieutenant. The next day, theleighteenth of April, in the consulship of Dr. Hunt and Mr. Gleason, the powers of the earth had a terrible battle, and although our army was not called into the fight, our camp, which we called the High School building, was invaded and totally destroyed, but some of the impediments, the books, were left untouched. Finding a suitable place for a camp, we retreated 35' to the Lincoln School, and there fortified ourselves in sheds and in a smaller camp. , We early decided to sow as much learning as possible, that on the road of life there would be a sufhciency on hand, and to establish peace and friendship with the other divisions of the school. We considered a period of four years to be long enough for completing these things, at the end of the fourth year We determined to establish a departure by law. After six months had passed the commander-in-chief appor- tioned us to one other captain, Miss Phelps, and gave Mrs. Yocum a new legion, and six months after that Miss Phelps was made the leader of us all. We passed two winters in the Lincoln School, suffering great hardships from cold and starvation, for those were very cold winters, especially when the furnace refused to do its duty. The only good time we had, set apart for pleasure, was the skating party, which the two peoples, the Juniors and the Seniors, enjoyed. In September, 1908, with a new commander-in-chief, Mr. Avery, we gathered ourselves and all our possessions together and betook ourselves to a fortress especially suitable and fitting for carrying on the campaign. Here, at first, we had many struggles when our scouts were sent out to discover, if they could, where the corridors and halls led to. They were finally success- ful, and since then, knowing the roads, we have overcome all difficulties. In the early Spring of 1909, while on a long and weary march with his legion, our former captain, Mr. Ryan, fell by the way- side. ' Great was the sorrow of the entire army then, for he was much beloved by all. In the summer of that year the Juniors splendidly entertained the Seniors at a war-dance at the Normal I-Iall, a thing that always precedes the tubbing contest, the greatest battle of the year. Later on, in that fight with water for the weapon, the Seniors won, gaining the envy of the Juniors for their booty. We had two good rallies all by ourselves also: one, a dance at the IgVornian's Club, and the other, a party at the home of Bethel ow en. . . As every 'six months saw us starting on a new campaign, so, in accordance with the ancient custom of our ancestors, we started our last and best one on the first of September, 1909. On and on we fought, courageously and well, till in October we set a day apart for demonstrating our skill. This took the form of a show, and in order to get funds for carrying on the rest of the campaign, we charged a small admittance fee. All the four 36 A nations came, and pronounced it a great success. . On the fourth day before the first of January, we were summoned to the headquarters of our captain, Miss Phelps, and, on arriving, found that she had prepared to entertain us. The remembrance of that evening cheered our hearts and greatly encouraged our soldiers for the trials they were soon to encounter in completing the four years' seige. In January, having been invited to the home of Margaret Gilchrist, we held another glorious rally, the last one we have enjoyed. A We have many notable people in our company, but to mention each and every one of them with his own particular Work, would be to write another and longer history. When we first began our war four years ago we were a force of ninety-six. Now the number at roll-call is thirty-five, only eleven of whomwere a part of the original band. And now we have succeeded in building our bridge, and are tonight crossing the river that divides High School life from the life in the world outside. We have a feeling of sadness as we part with our comrades and friends of the last four years, but still we must march on. And as we gain the other side of the bridge of graduation, we will still go fearlessly forward, shouting our war-cry as we have in the past, Vincit qui vult. , J - fm Qu ,-,,.. . ' Z.

GRIBNER and KATHLEEN HENNINSEN. San Jose High School, City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of California, United States of America, having arrived at the close of our Academic life after four years of hard and nerve-racking toil in which our dear and beloved instructors have instilled into our brain cavities certain fundamental principles of education which we hope will bring us some fruit in the future, being of sound minds and in full possession of our faculties, do hereby make known this, our last will and testament, wherein we do set forth the following be- quests : To the Faculty all the call downs , reproaches and chastise- ments which we have received from them, the aforesaid articles being in good condition, having been in no way injured by us and bearing twenty three per cent. interest, which articles to- gether with the interest are to be equally distributed by the above mentioned Faculty among all other-classes. To the June Class of 1910 the pass key into the boiler room, together with the sole right of tapping the oil tanks for the mid- night oil necessary for use in editing the Bell, and in writing the Class History, Poem, Prophecy and Will. To the Freshmen our congratulations that they have passed through the whole year unattended by their mothers or nurses and without the aid of nursing bottles, rattles and teething apparatus. E, the class of 1910, commonly known and desig- nated as Seniors, residents of room 93 of the 38 To Dr. N. B. Van Matre we leave our sincerest thanks for the careful treatment he administered to three of our masculine members in trying to infuse into their brains the subject of Com- mercial Law. Also a barrel of rusty tomato cans to present to his next class. . To Peter Douglas we hereby bequeath the sole right to do all the queeningain the High School. Knowing that he already has so many girls that he does not know what to do with them we believe this the safest course. To Mrs. Pillot we leave our sincerest sympathy for no longer being able to hear Doc McMillan arise in class and raise the roof off the building, explaining the lesson in Civics. a To John Welby Dinsmore we leave our latest invention, a device whereby one can talk forever and not be heard. We hope that those with whom he comes in touch will appreciate the great favor we are doing them. ' To Martin Luther we leave Red Fisher's many tricks and tactics in bluffing, especially in English, Latin, and Civics, with the admonishment that he leave them to his successor as pure and unadulterated as Red leaves them. Isabel Rowell's wonderfully apologetic air and the accepted fact that when anything goes wrong it is all her fault to all students who say it's the other fellow's fault . t To Mary Carroll we leave subscriptions to all magazines per- taining to the latest fashions in dress. Also Veva Blood's puffs to add to the beauty of her coiffure. 1 To Mike Horne we leave Hattie Beal's love for her lessons and her marvelous propensity for learning assignments by heart, hoping that his family will not have an attack of heart failure upon being surprised at his knowing anything. To Will Owens we leave all the dignity and mightiness of Senior President which Buzz Sim so ably supported in dealing with our class, to aid himrin carrying on the affairs of the next Senior Class. ' Appreciating the fact that Harry Cochran has been so kind as to honor us with his presence during the past six months we leave him a chicken ranch in The Willows . To Archie Stewart we bequeath Don Richard's long standing reputation of being the laziest man in school, together with the right to use Don's lordly and artistic mode of walking. To Roy Topham of Berryessa, California, we bequeath Kelly Sweitzer's long coveted position of being the closest impersonation of a shadow ever originated. To Professor I. D. Steele we feelingly tender all the notes used by members of our class during examinations in Economics, 39' together with the advice that he get out a patent 011 the W01'd Yes To Alvin Percival Clarke we bequeath a cyclometer whereby he may tell the length of his stride and the speed of his walking. Also a compass so that he can tell his variation from a straight line while going to and from classes. To George Lynn and all his successors we leave George Bryant's trials and tribulations in getting out the Herald, with the hope that Santa Clara does not fall in love with him as she did with George. Louis Keesling, whom we all have learned to love during the short time he has been with us, we reluctantly leave to the girls with the request that not more than one girl at a time fall in love with his beautiful eyes. To Frank Brigham, of Los Gatos, California, we offer all our votes in electing him the next mayorof Los Gatos, providing he does not prohibit Nancy Gober from allowing Thornton Webster to call at least twice a week, if he has the car fare. Beans Entriken's curiosity we leave to Purcell Ross, together with Beans' cute little smile and dimple for his running mate, Tommy Dinsmore. To Miss Fullagar, the custodian of the reception oflice, we leave nothing, knowing that if we did she would refuse it as she does excuses. Upon further thought we deem it advisable to leave her an exact copy of Gobbo Bowden's father's signature for future use in acting upon Gobbo's excuses. To Clayton Ross we leave that which has regulated us throughout our life in High School, Roberts Rules of Order ' together with a free pass on the Tenth Street car line. To Howard Fleming we donate a girl for him to love and caress forevermore. To Dad Cooper, manipulator of brooms, we leave a bag of salt to sprinkle on the tails of the stray canines he is seen desperately pursuing every morning at about nine o'clock. To Russel Hecox we leave Edna Plummer's composed and aristocratic air so that he may be bland and serene upon all occasions. To Tacitus Ryland we bequeath a bottle of Le Page's glue so that he can stick around and learn to some day run the Herald. l In all good faith We do hereby nominate and appoint Miss Phelps as executrix of this, our last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we have set our hand and seal this twenty-seventh day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten. ' I THE FEBRUARY CLASS or 1910. 40 Class Song. Words by WILL BAKER. Music by JOHN MCDONALD. OME, classmates, and join in the song, A song of our old school days. Remembrances dear to our loyal hearts i Are worthy of our praise. l Many the days we have passed Longing for this, our end, It tonight has come at last For the class of nine-teen-ten. CHORUS. Gayly then as this school we leave We'll cheer for our dear old High Though our hearts may often grieve As the parting hour draws nigh, Our good old friends that we've made here We never will forget. A cheer to our school and teachers dear, And for nine-teen-ten. Now from this school we must part, In a new field to tread Though we must leave here with aching hearts We'll bravely move ahead, And as we go on our way Striving to shape its end, We will cheer for San Jose And the class of nine-teen-ten. 41.

They say he has made millions by his introduction of an ice-plant at the pole. Well, it must be lovely up there-do you-now Margaret-do you really think I look my best tonight? Marge.-Mary! ! ! fKnock heard just then at door. After final pats at hair they open door and Erwin enters, enveloped in wraps and carrying a huge bag of gum-drops.l 1 Erwin fatter exchanging greetings and while taking off wraps, which Margaret and Mary take from himj-Now, this is fine. It certainly seems good to get down to this part of the country once more to the scenes of our childhood. Let me see, about how many years ago was it when we were in dear old High?- ' Marge. Churriedly interrupting himl-Won't you have a cup of tea, Erwin? CAll sit down and drink tea. Erwin presents gum-drops.l Erwin-Well, do you ever hear anything about our old school- mates? My, I tell you, that was a bright class! I wonder what ever became of our President, Douglas Sim. Mary-Oh, haven't you heard? Douglas is now a noted scientist. He finally discovered the microbe of queening and has succeeded in gathering the microbes all together and now keeps them chained out in his back yard, much to the joy and relief of Mr. Avery. Erwin-Good for Dug. I'm surprised though. I always expected Veva Blood to accomplish that. Marge. -Oh, no, Veva has opened a hairdressing parlor at M 44 lfzfxmt ' ta' g' .

It's said that she's a walking adver- tisement for her own business. Erwin-That reminds me of Wardell Kammerer. Alas, War- dell strayed from the straight and narrow path. He became a Raffles the Second, and just the other day was finally tracked and arrested for holding up unsuspecting citizens and demanding the time of day. f Mary-How shocking! But Red Fisher's fate was the sad- dest. It seems that his wife gave a dinner a few years ago and when the turkey was placed before Red to be carved he absent- mindedly picked it off the platter and ate it before the eyes of the astonished guests. .Erwin-Too bad. What of John Marten, though? Marge.-Oh, John Marten and John Hauck have made their fortunes posing for- the Gold Dust Twins advertisements. Erwin-Quite an idea! But I tell you our old classmate Chas. Bromley is making his mark in this world. Mary-Why, what has he become? Erwin-A dentist, and his specialty is removing false teeth quickly and painlessly. Mary and Margaret Cin unisonl-How lovely! Marge.-But do listen about Billie Baker. Poor Billie was captured early in life by a wily merry widow with ten children and now is bewailing his fate, for she leaves him at home to care for the little angels while she goes to the club. Erwin-Ha! ha! Thatis a good joke on Bill! Mary-Do you remember Edna Plummer and Ada Mulholland, Erwin? They are just at present in Milpitas leading a great Woman's Suffragist campaign. They make quite a stir marching down the streets at the head of the procession waving rolling- pins and calling Vote for Women. Marge.-And Donald' Richards.

He is doing famously. Thousands apply every semester who have to be put on the waiting list. Many have been waiting twenty years and are still hopeful. Erwin-Don always was fascinating to the ladies. Mary-Did you ever hear of Guy Entriken though? As a result of the good influence of one of the young ladies of our class he joined the Salvation Army and now beats the drum at every meeting. For some mysterious reason, however, he is never allowed to pass the tambourine. Marge.-The idea! Our old trusted class-treasurer. Erwin-It seems to me there was some one in our class named McMillan-now, let me think! Mary-Oh, yes, Percy McMillan, he went to Paris to study art and became famous. He does all the illustrating for the ads of Hires' Root Beer and Turkish Trophies. Erwin-And John McDonald? I Marge.-John, after many years of practice, finally mastered on the triangle the little tune Waiting, with which he regularly serenades a certain old Hame of his High School days. He still waits. Erwin-Poor J ohn! But what of our friend Warren Hastings? Mary-Oh, Warren became a noted pickpocket and the poor fellow is now using his knowledge gained in physics in breaking rock. Who knows of Genevieve? Marge.--As Genevieve never could buy a Merry Widow large enough a few years ago she went into the millinery business for herself. She has acquired a great reputation for her noveltiesgin headwear. Her latest creation is known as Burbank's Best. It is three feet wide and the trimming looks so natural that the horses neigh when they see one. 46 i 5 fi 1 M f - l T . ,I j A,, ff m mn? . f 5 , - sm .ag N Z . l 'fill' l 'J' iv K I i ' , ,I- I s 3 . s. 1 .

Nettie Maud's hobby while in school was physiology, and she was always delighted if she had a dog or cat to cut up. After leaving High she studied surgery and has become a noted surgeon. She has gained great popularity in this rapid age by the speed with which she removes arms and legs while you wait. Marge.-Do you remember Hattie Beall? Hattie was one of those quiet girls who did nothing but study and memorize her lessons. Her chief recreation was in playing with dogs. She always had four or five around, and certainly took delight in them. But you know the old motto, You never can tell. Hattie married a Dutch bologna sausage manufacturer. Alas for poor Hattie I she has no more pets. ' Marge. -What ever became of the two Miller girls? Erwin-Clara, after graduation, entered the social whirl and was noted for the dinners which she gave. One day, at an elaborate dinner, a fish bone lodged in her throat. The famous Dr. George Bryant happened to be among the guests and rescued her from the grave. These two renewed their acquaintance, and now Clara writes Mrs. before her name. Mary-Yes, and I hear that they are very happy. What of Agnes? Marge.-You know Agnes always had a wonderful knack at hairdressing, and so she opened a shop which now runs in oppo- sition to Veva's. Erwin-Many times have I wondered of the whereabouts of Frank Gribner-the clown of our class. Mary-I can inform you as to his fate. Last Sunday, while looking over the church notices, imagine my surprise when I read that the Right Reverend Father Gribner was to deliver the Easter . 47. H E, 5 L-lm.. address at Saint Patrick's. It seems that Frank S2235 Jllted- Wasn't there a girl in our class by the name of Zanetti . Erwin-Oh! yes. Olympia IS now cosilylinstalled. in the new High School at the North Pole, teaching the little Eskimos the art of chewing gum. She received her Ph.

Marge.-Marie Walker, after a complete course in cooking, is now installed as chief cook in the ' Bull D0g 21115 hasxmade 9' decided hit with the head waiter. Say, Mary, let S apply- 7 Erwin-Marge! Marge! Aren't your cats and parrots enough. Why wish for a vain creature called man. Did you people know that Elsie Ernst and Marguerite McDermott had written one of the best sellers of the year? No? Why itfs the talk of com- mercial students all over the globe. The subject of the book is, How to Make Commercial Law Easier. By the way, what became of the two Japanese students of our class? I . I Marge.-Ito and Frank sailed for Japan after finishing their college course, and while enroute were shipwrecked, and instead of drowning, were drifted to an unknown island, where they found great happiness in teaching the natives how to read and write. Mary-Poor Louis Leibe surely has a hard life. He met a suffragist who promptly decided she wanted Louis for her own. She captured him, and now the poor fellow does the washing while wify goes out to vote and pay the taxes. Erwin-So the jokes on him. That tea surely went to the right spot. May I have another cup? Marge.-Certainly. I've been so excited and interested that I forgot my manners. fFills cups and passes nabiscos.D Erwin-I guess I had better be on my guard, because wash- ing is not in my line. Mary-What ever became of Isabel Rowell? Wasn't she just the dearest, most obliging girl ever? Marge. -Why I thought that every one knew of Isabel's life work. It seems that after leaving the dear old High she became interested in astronomy and established an observatory on the top of Mt. Everest, and has discovered a comet more wonderful than any ever seen before. e Mary-Well, of all things! I've come to the conclusion that the class of.January '10 has really amounted to something. I always associated Kathleen Henningsen's name with Isabel. Has she done. anything wonderful? Erwin-I always said that Kathleen would either become a great singer or else marry a duke. While reading the London News a few days ago I found that the celebrated Prima Donna, Miss Henningsen, was going to make her debut into American musical circles this evening. Why can't we all go, and hear our old classmate? MQFQG- afld MQW fin l1f1iS0nl-I'm sure nothing would be more pleasant. Thank vou Erwin We'll get our wr ' diately.

ENTRIKEN, '10 BELL-HERALD MANAGER HARLOWE STAFFORD, '10 QQ! HIS' is the first BELL to make its appearance 1 under the new system of managing the High O School publications. It has a great many faults which the Editor is well aware of but owing to circumstances they were unavoidable. So, kind LE? 94,5-Sl reader, forgive our mistakes and accept the BELL for what it is worth. The system which has governed the publications this year has not proven very satis- factory. Although the Students have been given plenty to read in the Herald, Still they want the BELL once a month as has been proven by the many who questioned, Where is the BELL? , during the past Semester. The greatest drawback to the present system of running the BELL is in dealing with Exchanges. The BELL has an immense exchange list, and if these schools send us their Well prepared publications, they have a right to demand some return from us, if they do not get it we shall be dropped from each respective schoOl's exchange list and the BELL will be forgotten in the High School journalistic world. The BELL is considered all over the United States one of the best High School publications, and to 51 FEET lose this prestige means much, for through its publications 21 high school receives more commendation than one would think. So let us hope that the old system of monthly issues of the BELL will be reinstalled. M4 Mr. Roth, of Stanford, gave us a short talk recently in which he touched upon training. He said no man could be'a las ting athlete who did not keep permanent training rules. This hit home to the hearts of our athletes. What this school needs is a strict rule of training and then her teams will amount to some- thing. During the entire Rugby season this year, half of the team smoked. This didn't help the team along any and perhaps it is why they did not win many games. The athletes of this school should pay attention to their condition, and then meets will be won. Let us hope to see the day when athletes caught breaking training rules will be asked to drop from the team. ,Mi Bad pennies will always turn up, and so it is with the subject of this editorial, although it is a good one. As many a former editor has harped upon the subject of an athletic field, this article may seem stale, but the only way to get a thing is to keep it before the public eye. This school certainly needs some place to train for its field events, for Rugby games and for various other meets, and so long as we have no athletic field we shall not have winning teams. The Board of Education, through Mr. Sheriffs, has many times given us rosy pictures of an athletic field but it has never materialized. Let us hope, that, if we keep it before their notice, they will reward us. M A few words should be said of the Bell-Herald Committee. Few students in San Jose High School understand what amount of work it does and what it stands for. To this committee is en- trusted the full control of both the BELL and the Herald. The cimmittee audits the accounts of both rtiles to govern their publication. The committee this semester has been an exceptionally good Gleason, Chairman' Miss papers and makes certain one and is composed of Prof. C. B. Margaret Gilchrist, Secretary, Prof. N. B. Van Matre, Auditor' Harlowe Stafford, Supervising Manager, and F. P. Gribner, George Lynn, Will Owens and Miss Mary Helen Post. l . 52 , BELL STAFF Percy McMillan Mary Slgss Dug.

HE School Herald has been, during the past AV semester, a financial success as Well as a literary T success. The material contained in it has been by Well Written, and the general appearance of each Q Weekly issue has been neat and attractive. But one criticism can be made of the paper and that is the interest the students take in its make up. During the entire past semester the Work fell upon the editor and a few members of the large staff appointed who were deeply interested in the paper. Every student in the school should get behind the paper and boost it. If anything of moment happens in the school, and a Herald reporter is not present any true supporter of the Royal Purple should Write it up and hand it to the editor. By doing this many newsy articles would appear in the Herald that at present are lost. At the beginning of the semester George C. Bryant held the editorial chair down, but owing to illness and his stii course at school he deemed it best to resign, and the Bell-Herald committee placed George Lynn in the vacant position. Bryant worked hard and earnestly for the paper, and his ability showed to advantage 56 in the quality of the sheet he presented to the students. Lynn's paper has been equally good, and it is hoped that the next editor will live up to their high standard. The Herald Staff is composed of : Editor, George Lynn, Assistant Editors, Tass Ryland, Wilmer Gross, Reporters: Athletic, F. P. Gribnerg School Notes, Chandler Markley, George Bryant, Chas. Nazro, Don Richards, Shirley Titus, Joshes, Mary Sloss, Brownie Schillingsburgg Exchanges, Mary Gray, Business Manager, Will Baker, Assistants, Harlowe Staford, Adolph Canelo and Edwin Walter. George Bryant, George Lynn, Mary Sloss, Mary Gray, Tass Ryland and Dutch Gribner should be heartily praised for the conscientious Work they have put into the paper.

Justly to dis- gq criminate, firmly to establish, wisely to pre- 0 scribe, and honestly to award-these are the -5- 255803 , aims of free criticism. In our review of the Exchanges we shall try to follow out the above suggestions. The commencement number of the Caduceus from Chico High School is by far the best of our exchanges. The literary department contains many interesting stories, the departments are well arranged and the cuts are clear. We have no words to express our joy at sight of you. Come again, Caduceus, 'we enjoy reading you. The June number of the Advance from Arcata has a very neat appearance. The poems, stories, and cuts of the paper are extremely interesting. We would suggest, however, that the index be put in the front and that the names of the staff follow the literary department. From Sacramento comes the Review . The cover design is pleasing. The stories in your literary department are delight- fully written. The cuts are all good and the joshes clever. The Oriole, from Campbell, is a very pleasing paper. The story, Ye Hallowe'en, is above the average of high school stories. It is a pleasant change from the tedious love story found in most high school publications. A few more cuts in the literary part would enliven exceedingly the paper. The Owl, of Fresno High, has visited us three times this semester. Each number is a good representative of the school. The cuts are keen . A Chef Impromptu, in your October , I -.L I IS... , 58 6 nunnber is well worth taking notice of. In fact, all of the stories plainly show the presence of talent in Fresno High School. The cover design of your Christmas number is very artistic. The departments are all well arranged, and the joshes well chosen. Our one criticism would be that the joshes be eliminated from the advertising section. The Poly High, from the Los Angeles Polytechnic High School is unique in appearance, and unusual in size. Your sketch, Overheard on a Train, is true to life. We would suggest that all the school news be placed together-after the stories. We like to see your interest in surrounding schools. The ads on the covers and front fly leaf detract from the general appearance of your paper. Another new comer to San Jose High is the Kodak, from Everett, Wash. We admire your originality in the method of numbering your editions. The cover design is Well drawn. The class notes would present a better appearance if placed after organizations. A few more cuts distributed through the literary department would improve the appearance of the paper. Why not put the ads on the last pages and keep the covers clear ? From far off Japan comes the Kwassui Quarterly. It is a neatly arranged paper. We would suggest a few cuts be made from the pictures spoken of in the Exhibition and placed in your paper. We understand that the Japanese part of the paper begins at the rear, but why have the advertisements in front? Wouldn't it be better to have them placed between the English and Japanese printing ? The Oasis, from Reno, Nevada, is an interesting paper. The Wanderings of Aeneas in Modern America is an especially clever piece of work. In fact, each department shows that the school spirit runs high in your school. Printing of any sort on the covers cheapens the looks of your paper beyond words. An extra page or two would be enough to put these ads on and would greatly improve the appearance of your paper. The commencement number of the Purple and Gold, from Ukiah, is very well arranged. Your literary department has many fine stories. The Diary of a Freshman is extra good. The general appearance of your paper would be improved if the literary department were placed in the front of your paper. More cuts would make a great improvement in the paper's appear- ance. The Purple and Gold, from Lewiston, Idaho, contains many interesting write-ups. The lack of an index and the names of the staff are particularly noticeable. The ads in front of your paper and on its cover detract from the general appearance. 594 -.-.--.--TQ -li- HE' 5 , W 1 From Somerville, Mass., the 4'Radiator comes I1'10UthlY- We appreciate your visits and hope that we may be favored by the same treatment next semester. Your literary talent shows itself in the many long and interesting stories which you print. Ads should always be placed in the back of the paper, and never on the covers. We suggest that the arrangement of your paper be changed so as to place the literary department first. The Academy, from Owego, N. Y., contains many newsy items and some very interesting stories. A few cuts placed in the reading matter would be a great improvement. And oh, my I Ads in front I Nuf ced I J The Classicum, from Ogden, is always welcome to our tables. The poem- on the New Detective System is cleverly written. A few cuts would put more life into the reading material. Same old kick I Ads should be placed in the back of your paper. The Poholo, from the Elko County High School, Nevada, is a very good paper for one so young. The stories show literary talent and energy. Cuts will repay you more than their cost in the bettered appearance of your paper. Put that ad on the front cover in the back of your paper. The price paid for your paper should enable you to publish a larger volume. The story of A Modern Rip Van Winkle in the Herald from Holyoke, Mass., is an attractive story. It holds the interest of the reader from start to finish. More cuts would greatly im- prove the appearance of your paper. Eliminate the ads from the covers and front pages and the magazine will have a more dignified appearance. The Messenger, from Wichita, Kansas, is representative of a wide awake school. The number of poems you have is some- thing of which a high school can seldom boast. Cuts could be used to advantage in the reading material. Why not utilize that blank page in the back of your paper and remove the ads from the covers and the front of the issues. From Mustantine, Iowa, comes the Auroran. The Plots that Failed is a long and interesting Hallowe'en story. The color of the paper used is not at all pleasing to the eye. As has been said of many others, cuts are lacking in the stories. The ads on the covers depreciate the value of your paper. Its appear- ance would be improved if the reading material and the ads were in two distinct divisions.

It is a pleasure 60 Manzanita, to see all the advertisements placed on the last pages of your paper. The ad on the cover lowers the standard of your paper. Your arrangement is what it should be and the stories are lively. We wish we could receive more papers like yours. A pleasant smile spreads over our countenance as we gaze at the Acorn from Alameda. You have quite a few interesting stories. . The other departments are proof of much labor. The stories should be separated by cuts. Take the joshes off the pages containing ads and remove the ad from the cover and your paper will have reached the ideal. The Booster, Chadron High, Nebraska, is a new exchange which we welcome heartily. Your paper is good on the whole, but the advertisement on the front page and the lack of cuts detract from the general appearance. A Church paper in the shape of the Loyal Sons' Clarion greets us from Sacramento. We welcome you gladly and hope you will continue to come. We notice that in the October number the cover was clear of ads. Why go back to spoiling your covers by ads in the November number ? Guard and Tackle, Stockton High, is full of life and school spirit. More cuts would be appreciated by the readers of your paper. Add a few more pages to your paper, eliminate ads from covers, and do not mix the ads and reading material. In looking over the Clarion, from Salem, Ore., the lack of cuts is very noticeable. The covers of your paper would be very much improved if you kept the ads off of them. Ads to the back of your paper l The Tiger, Lick, is up to its usual high standard. The Mystery is an interesting detective story. The design of your cover in the Christmas number is very artistic. That football story, His Chance, holds the interest of the reader, but it has a peculiar ending. As the Emperor Commands, is something new to the world of high school papers. Your organizations are well handled and school spirit can be read between the lines. The joshes being interspersed with cuts makes them the more interesting. In the Christmas issue, the stories appear dry with- out cuts here and there. Clean the covers of advertisers. Whims, from Seattle, is another stranger. It seems to be a representative of a school interested in athletics. A good idea can be obtained from it of school life in the north.

It must be an inspiration to the students of your sChOOl to have such a beautiful landscape near at hand. t The Redwood, from Santa Clara College, IS all that 3 college paper should be. The departments are well arranged, the literary department contains many delightful poems and stories. We notice the absence of a josh column. The same old tune of Ads in Front applies to you, too. We like to see you among our exchanges, Redwood, keep on coming. The Coyote, Sioux Falls, S. D., is a good little paper which we are not well acquainted with. Don't you think several pages of ads in the front of your paper lessens its worth to you ? Other- wise you are a very neat paper and the cuts are in keeping with the balance of your paper. Your cover is very suggestive and true to life, Crimson and Gray, Wartsburg, Wash., and the material in your paper is very good. The appearance of more cuts, however, would improve it. From Escondido comes the Gong, The stories are clever and the cuts good. The only objection is the presence of ads on the front pages. Come again I I The lVIadrono, Palo Alto, is, as usual, above criticism. Your cover design is very neat and the arrangement of the paper is good. We agree exactly with the exchange editor as to what the exchange column should be. Crawford's Story, in the 'lRegister, Omaha, is such an agreeable change from those love stories which so often prove failures. The paper is a good one, but more cuts would be appreciated by all.. The cuts in the Sheaf, Los Banos, are splendid l For a small school your paper is a good one. The souvenir number of the Sotoyeman is in every respect a commendable paper. The only objection is that the joshes are mixed in the ads. The Hitchcock Sentinel is the best weekly paper we receive. Volante, Grand Island, Neb., why do you put ads in the front? .A table of contents would add decidedly to your paper. Otherwise, the paper is on the average with other papers. Special mention is made of the Weekly Chemawa American put out by the Salem Indian Training School. It is a newsy little Paper, and is up to the standard of many of the monthly papers. The 'Wild Cat, Los Gatos, is one of the best commence- ment numbers we received. Miss Owens, of your staff, ig, We are glad to say, taking a.Post Graduate course in our High.

SAT in front of the fire and gazed with lazy dis- content at the leaping flame. After a good meal, especially one as good as that from which I had just arisen, a fellow does not feel much like working, and the very thought of work was more than I could endure. But there in my hand was a telegram of no uncertain tone: copy at once or you'll be fired.-Dutch. I scratched my head, I blessed the editor, I poked the fire, I settled down and tried to think. But thoughts are pesky things sometimes, always playing truant when you need them most, and my efforts to round them up resulted in nothing but symptoms of a headache. I lowered the back of my Morris chair, and lean- ing back luxuriously on the leather cushions tried to imagine what fate the wrathful editor had in store for me in case I failed to produce the required copy on time. The fire crackled cheerily, diffusing a welcome warmth over meg my meditations led me deeper and deeper into the realm of thought, but still no inspira- tion came, till at length the clock's tick began to lag and finally it died entirely, and then: Some instinct told me I was not alone, and I turned to greet a man whose like I had never seen, nor dreamed existed. Robes of flowing purple fell from shoulders so broad that I instinctively glanced at the door to see how he could possibly have entered 64 I there, and his height was proportionately great. He towered high above me to the ceiling, and I gazed up into his face with awe and wonder. And such a countenance! It changed even as I watched it from light to dark, and back to light again, from a face of womanish beauty to one of manly strength and firmness, and yet so swift and constant were these transformations that it was impossible to tell at what instant any one characteristic pre- dominated. And with it all there was a look so gentle and so reassuring that I was not afraid. Come, said this strange visitor, and instinctively I rose in obedience to his command. He held out his hand to me, andI placed my own in it with confidence, when instantly the room vanished. Iwas caught up as by a dozen unseen hands, and I found myself whirling through the air with the speed of light, and before I could catch my breath or cry out I was set gently down again ina place which Iwell knew. It was at the entrance of the Normal Assembly Hall that we stood just as the classes were changing, and as the students passed in front of us I recog- nized many from the old High among them. There were Nanette Rosenthal and Fay Smith. Lucille Mosher passed us in a great hurry, evidently late to her class, almost running into Bessie Samuels at the door of the office, but though there were many whom I knew, and though I smiled and bowed and raised 'my hat, not one gave me the slightest sign of recognition. I turned to my guide in angry wonder for an explanation, and found him smiling at me mischievously, and evidently read- ing the question in my look, he said: A You are invisible to them, my friend. vVhat! Invisible! Icried, and pinched myself. I'll not believe it, sir, until I prove it. Dr. Daily was advancing up the broad walk. Hesitating only for an instant I stepped squarely in front of him and stood directly in his path. When, HORRORS! withoutso much as blinking, in one great stride he passed right through me. My hair rose abruptly and I shrank back to the side of my strange companion, who was chuckling audibly at my discomfiture. He grabbed my arm, and again said, Come, and I found myself in the Normal Library. There I found Nellie ,Aylesworth con- versing with the librarian, while at the tables Elizabeth Schoen- berger, Lora Henningsen and Ruby Kerr were diligently at work. I was looking about me for more familiar faces when my ever alert companion again repeated his command of Come, 65' and once more taking my hand we left the Normal as suddenly as we had come. u . This time we rose to a dizzy height and whirling through space at fearful speed, we wheeled in a vast circle in the sky. Where now? I cried when I had breath. Look below you, he commanded, and I did so, trembling. I will show you a part of the great world, and as we travel do you keep your eyes well open to behold what may be seen. As he spoke my eyes seemed suddenly stronger and I dis- cerned from that great height a vast concourse of people hurry- ing, rushing through the streets of a city. I saw the tower and knew that we had not left San Jose, and I looked intently at the crowd for some familiar face, and soon I was rewarded. I caught a glimpse of Wallace Null on his way to the S. P. depot to his work, and Rollin Fairchild just turning the corner at First and Santa Clara streets, full of business and importance. I saw Orville Drew boarding a car, her music roll under her arm, on her way to the University of the Pacific for her lesson. Kathe- rine Markley was just turning in at the entrance to her home on First street, and turning to seek her brother somewhere in the throng, I spied Chandler hurrying down Santa Clara street, with his hands in his pockets as usual. Benjamin Loveall next caught my eye, his collector's book sticking from his pocket, and just as he passed Trinkler-Dohrman's on South First street, Anita Leibe entered to take up her duties within. Look, said my guide, pointing off to the north, and in obedience to his instruction I looked and beheld Walter Stammer, in all the glory of overalls and jumper, working in the pottery yard on Sixth street. , Then we were off again, this time due north, and almost before I knew that we had left San Jose behind us I saw the dome of the Call building below me. At the corner of Third and Market streets I saw Elmer Hudson boarding a car on his way to the Ferry Building, and the next instant I gasped with fright, for we had swerved suddenly from our northern course, and swoop- ing downward as we turned, barely missed the dome of the Ferry Building as we swung out over the bay. I caught a fleeting glimpse of the ferry boats churning the water below me, and saw a few men moving on Goat Island as we passed over it, but thev were kinetiscope pictures at best, for we did not slacken speed until we touched the ground again under the live oaks of the University grounds at Berkeley. D We can wait only a minute here, my Conductor C1-jed, but Ei tlgat minute I saw several whose faces were once seen about e alls of the old school, among whom was Marguerite Deacon, 66 Mabel Jones, Leslie Wigmon, Emil Cykler, Eugene Welch, and' John Gribner. i Once more I was caught up, and rushing through that glorious sky, with towns, creeks, meadows, trees and hills apparently leaping away from us behind, we came in one brief interval of time to Stanford University. There a wealth of our students could be seen. John Nazro, Vernon Parish and James Leaman I met almost as soon as I arrived, and coming out of the library I spied Harold Avery with his freshman cap much in evidence. Of the girls a brief search revealed Bethel Bowden and Adele Titus, and later I met Louise Avery and Mildred Eastey, the latter with an armful of books. Cutting across from the Inn to Encina I saw Waldo Worden and Ingalls Reeves, two Math, sharks, arm in arm, making extraordinary haste to catch a car and get to the train in time. Turning from this touching sight I jumped back in order not to repeat my former thrilling experience, for Baumgartner was bearing down upon me with all sails set, intent on catching up with Sprig and Teddy. A goodly representation truly, but it is not complete if I do not mention Drape Worswick, who was swinging up along the Row with his famous football stride, and Henry Schilling, who was entering the Engineering Building, just as we again mounted into the air. ' On this, our last excursion, we went so high and with such incredible speed, that I shrieked aloud with fright, but suddenly there broke upon my ears the sound of music, and my fears were hushed. What is that? I asked, delighted. This is the land of married bliss, my ever-present guide responded. Is it now? I said, suspiciously. And why do you bring me here? I , Look about you, he commanded, and I did so. Who was that off there in the distance? Surely that was Carson, our Mrs. Wiggins, and-a Mrs. Wiggins! safely roped at last, sitting quietly, contentedly before their own hearthstone. And there, strolling happily along 'a shaded pathway, Morris Harter and his bride, forgetting the cares of, the world, kept pace with the music. The music continued and a delicious drowsiness took posses- sion of me, and I let my head fall on my companions shoulder. Gently, softly I was borne along in those strong arms until I felt myself sink once more into the cushions of my own Morris chair. Then I felt my guide turn to leave me. I started up and cried out: Waitl But he was gone. The clock had resumed its 67' ticking, the fire still crackled cheerily, the telegram had Huttered to the floor. My desk was in the corner. I rushed to it, seized my pen and Wrote With feverish haste, While the inspiration of my guid- ing spirit was upon me. In great, sprawling letters I covered page after page, and as I filled them I let them fall unheeded to the floor. Ere long it Was completed, and With a sigh of infinite relief I signed it. rswt gf-w-sv.-v-w-- --f - -f - I --.

Body. URING the past semester the Student Body of San Jose High School has been controlled by as D unique a scheme of government as can be found . 1 ' -inany High School of the state. Following the , A l scheme of Congress, two houses constitute the governing power, the old Board of Representa- tives forming the upper house and each class room a thoroughly organized part of 'the lower house. Move- ments must first pass through the lower house and then be sub- mitted to the upper house, although many special privileges are allowed the Board of Representatives. Nothing but praise can be said of the working of the Student Bady during the past semester. For once in the history of the school approximately every student in the school is a member and for this alone much praise should be sung. Money has never been lacking and all the activities seemed contented with the way they were supported. The officers during the past semester were : President, Russell Hecoxg Vice President, Sewall Browng Secretary, Kath- leen Henningseng Treasurer, Prof. A. L. Dornberger. This competent corps of officers are deserving of much praise for their conscientious and hard work and it is hoped that they will con- tinue in their good work during the next semester.

The value of the society has been proved time and again by the men who have attained fame and success, due, in no little part, to the training and culture obtained at the meetings. The Senate continues to do its good work and at the present time many of the most brilliant and accomplished students are on its membership roll. During the past semester, the society has made a marked advancement and was never before so in earnest to accomplish things. 'Greater interest is being manifested in the work. Much harder labor is put on the debates, and the programs are more interesting- and instructive. New members have been taken in who are earnestly applying themselves to the work. The new faculty members, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Dornberger, have united their interest with the other faculty members, Miss Schallenberger and Mr. Reidy, and have regularly attended the meetings and instructed the boys.

Although she has always taken the lead in literary work, this semester all branches D of .work have advanced. Especially good are the debates. The new term has marked a new era in Delphic debates, more interest is taken in them and as a result, better work. Many of our new members are fast becoming star debaters, while others are excellent in other literary lines. ' On December the tenth, Delphic held an open meeting, having for her guests the faculty and the mothers of her mem- bers. The literary program was spiced with a few excellent musical numbers which were much enjoyed by everyone. In reviewing the work of this last semester, Delphic finds she has passed the most successful year of her career. c OFFICERS : President - - - Mary Gray Vice President - - Miriam Tonkin Secretary - - Hilda Anderson Treasurer - - Hazel Davis Sergeant-at-Arms - Ellen McMurray Corresponding Secretary - - Addie Coyle LOQCIOH.

Mr. Stewart, our representative on the debating team, has obtained, it may be said, his training in , L0g9i0n's Hall. He may stand as an example of what we are turning out. 82 Since the beginning of the semester we have taken in many new members, who bid well to hold the laurels in the highest positions possible. Although many of them are Freshmen, Logeion has the right spirit and is therefore bound to succeed. We regret to lose with this graduating class, three of our earnest workers: John McDonald, Chas. Bromley and Bunshiro Ito. We hope that they will succeed as well in the years to conce as they have in their high school life. We hope that it will always be with pleasure that they will look back on the happy and profitably spent times within Logeion's doors. Logeion holds its meetings on every Friday afternccn ai 3:20 o'clock in Room 97.

HE girls of the Ephemerian Literary Society have tried during the past term to make the best of their opportunities, and they have earned through their efforts a grand success. The term's work was started under their worthy president, Bessie Wagner, who helped the girls individually as well as collectively and deserves much credit for her work. Many new plans have been introduced into Ephemerian this year which have proved successful. Each girl has put forth her best efforts to make this society the best possible, and to raise its 0 .. .iw 51' at ..-1 : , lv I ' 'GJ' 83' , ....i...-. - .l-1 Hs '37 ---.is-1-J standard above any of its preceding years. The society has always been noted for its good debaters, and, although the glfls have not done much along this line on the outside, they have worked hard among themselves, and have made great headway in debating. ' ' In the last election the girls chose as their president fcr tle remainder of the term, Amy Stockton, who has always been a great help to Ephemerian, and one who has always had the whole interest of the society at heart, and under her leadership they expect to continue their success. The new members have entered into the spirit of the work and the society feels that they have shown the best of judgment in choosing the following girls to help them in their work : Elizabeth Crossly, Mildred Brown, Evelyn Clevenger, Marion Werner, Evelyn Grove, Aleta Corcoran, Josephine Danielson, Lila Berger, Gladys Farnsworth and Ruth Bodenshautz. Ecclesia. CCLESIA is one of San Jose High School's most 'ia gi' prominent Literary Societies whose enthusiastic ' E ly members have not been idle during the past six if months. Y X J The first meeting -after vacation was held on 2-,XQQQ the tenth day of September, with the following officers performing their respective duties: President, Jay R. Hecoxg Vice President, Russell Dill, Sec- retary, Albert Coyle, Treasurer, Chester Tonkin. This meeting was well attended and a lively program started the new semester off beautifully. On the twentieth day of October an election of oflicers took place and these gentlemen were installed: President - - - Will Owens A Vice President f - - Charles Nazyo SSCFSURFY H - T 1 Albert Coyle Corresponding Secretary - - W, C131-k Treasurer ' 1 -' - - Ed Comer T Sergeant-at-Arms - - Rgbeyt Pease The new oflicers are enthusiastic fellows and they, with the earnest members of Ecclesia, are looking forward to a most suc- cessful year. ' Ecclesia is especially noted for her production Of Suggeggful debatersg having two of her members on the first team which 84 won the debate from Berkeley Institute for the Blind, and also' having one place on the second team. One thing that would strike a visitor in Ecclesia Hall is the ready response to thecall for an impromptu speech, either for a debate or for a lecture. This shows that the boys have spent some time with magazines and papers that they might be abreast of the times in current topics. Although Ecclesians are a well read set of fellows they are not wholly a set of book worms, for they have among their num- bers some of the finest athletes in the school. The roll as it is to date is as follows: G. Aylesworth, E. Bennison, W. Breeden, F. Campbell, W. Clark, E. Comer, A. Coyle, E. Crook, E. Danforth, R. Dill, F. Douglas, G. Graham, G. Green, H.

Coyle Debating. 55,3 HE term opened with bright prospects for Debat- ing. Coyle and Stewart, of last year's team, T were back, and Owens also re-entered the lists. The tryout was held Oc,ober 15th and the following teams were chose : First team-Will Owen, Woodville Stewart, and Albert Coyle, V second team, Edith Hale, Ralph Oppenheimer, and Louis Liebe. We were all scheduled against Santa Clara for November 27th, but unfortunately Santa Clara was compelled to default. We were next matched against our old rivals, the Cali- fornia Institution for the Blind, on December 17th. San Jose submitted the question, Resolved, That'three-fourths of a jury should be completed to render a verdict in all criminal cases. The Blind chose the negative. The debate was held in the Horace Mann School and was one of the best contests ever held in San Jose. The Blind debaters acquitted themselves with their usual ability but were no match for our team. Both in the standpoint of team work and delivery, our boys outdid themselves and won the unanimous verdictof the judges. But merely individual ability and hard work on the part of the team have not been responsible for our success. Both the team and the school owe a lasting debt of gratitude to our coach, Miss Knowles. Working unselfishly, she has done more for debating than any other person or persons in this school. The splendid showing of the team is due mainly to the training she has given them both in the classes and individually. Not only is she training this team, but by means of her classes in debate she is preparing future teams to support the Purple. Another thing 89 ' which Miss Knowles has accomplished has been the formation of a county League for debating. Representatives from six schools of the county met Saturday, January 8, and adopted a constitu- tion. Two other schools sent assurances by mail that they would join the League and would meet with the other delegates January 15 to elect officers. As this report goes to press it appears reason- ably certain that the local League will be composed of the follow- ing high schools: Palo Alto, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Campbell, Morgan Hill, Los Gatos, Redwood City, and San Jose. By virtue of our victory San Jose is now qualified to debate Lowell High school for the cup. Commercial Evening High, our other competitor, has withdrawn from the race. We will meet Lowell at Stanford on April 2, and our chances for the permanent pkossession of the Stanford Trophy Cup are exceptionally bright t is year. . ' DECLAMATION TEAM M' BPYCI H. Stafford Declamation. .HE annual convention of the Debating League of California was held at Berkeley upon the 30th T day of October, 1909. As is the custom, the annual declamation contest was held at the same ' time in the auditorium of Berkeley High School.

Bacon, McMillan, Stewart, Green or Thomas, three quarters. S. Brown, fullback. Ed Smitherum, front rank, played his first year, and it was a fast game he played. He was always on the ball and he always knew what to do with it. This was his first year at foot- ball, but no one would begin to suspect it from his playing. He will be with us next year ,Clair Sedgwick, front rank, played the same steady fighting game he always plays. We missed him at the first of the year, but in the Santa Clara game he made up for his absence by play- ing a star game. This is his third year. He graduates in June. Red Fisher played in the front rank all season. This was his second year. He graduates in February. Varsity Hayes was one of our new men. He came from Washburn, and when he first went on the field he knew nothing of the game, but he soon developed into a hard, clever player. He shared his position with C. Brown. ' He graduates in June in Washington, D. C. ' Claude Brown has played three years now. This is his last year. He always knows just when to put the ball into play in the line out. He is always good on dribbling. He and Hayes played in the second rank. Q -I Jay Brown, second rank, always gained ground for us either by making a dash or tackling someone who, seemingly, had a sure try. He was always on the ball. This was his first year, but he will be with us next year. Howard Fleming played his second season this year. He was 93' ...ll--.I He. 5 right there in picking the ball in the line out, in puntingf 111 P355- ing, and in pushing in the scrum. It is hard luck, but he graduates in J une. Gobbo Bowden was right there this, his second, year. He just loved to boot the ball to a pretty touch or pick it in the line out and go through for a fifty yard dash. He will be with us for four or five years yet. U Pete Douglas is an Englishman, and he plays Rugby the way they do in the old country. Pete can fight and Pete can dribble. These are his specialties, but he can do anything else. This made his second year on the team. He graduates in June. Matt Hazeltine played his first season this year. It takes a clever man to play scrum half, one who can pass or boot excel- lently, and Matt was the only man to fill the place. He will be with us next year. g V Dug Sim played his third and last season this fall. He graduates in February. His specialty was punting, but he cer- tainly was there in passing or tackling, and he had the ginger that put iight into all the fellows. He was our manager. Ellard Bacon, right three-quarters, gained a reputation for his straight -arms. We were sure of a gain whenever he got the ball for somehow nothing seemed able to stop him. He grad- uates in June. Doc McMillan, captain, played his usual position of three- quarters, which he has played for three years. He was always in the game, fighting, now a tackle, now a pass, or now a try. But we bid farewell to Doc in February. Archie Stewart played this year, making his third season. The first year it was in the scrum but the last two years it has been three quarters. Stewart is captain-elect. He certainly plays a fast, clever, fighting game, and has always worked hard for the team and he well deserves the oiiice. Wire Thomas played left three quarters. He was light but fast. He learned the game in no time so that he soon knew just where to play the ball. He was strong in passing. He will play next year. Sherwood Green shared left three quarters with Wire He gained a world-wide reputation for the dribbling and passing rushes he started. He made .a try every game he played in. He graduates in June. Sewall Brown, fullback, played his second season. If it wasn't for Sewall, think of the trys the other side would have made. But our Sewall never missed a tackle or fumbled a ball so that the result was that no one ever made a try with him as full- back. He will play next year. 94 r RUGBY TEAM Fisher McMillan, Captain Bowden Douglas Brown A RUGBY TEAM - Greene Sim, Manager Bacon Smitherum Fleming RUC-BY TEAM Thomas Stewart, Captain-elect S.

All the first part of the game the fighting masses swayed from one goal to the other with neither side having an advantage. Just before the end of the first half Thoburn, of Palo Alto, broke through for a try. Lockwood kicked a very difficult goal. At the end of the half the score stood, Palo Alto 5, San Jose 0. Fleming, of San Jose, kicked off the second half. Again it was a iight up the field and down again. San Jose had a scrum on Palo Alto7s five yard line but did not get the ball over the line. The game ended, Palo Alto 5, San Jose 0. I Santa Clara Game. Alexander, of Santa Clara, kicked off. For five minutes the play was on San Jose's twenty-five yard line when the ball was rushed down the field to Santa Clara's five yard line. San Jose took the ball over the line in a scrum four times but the referee would not allow -the try. Near the end of the half Santa Clara got a free kick and Alexander tried for a goal but missed. At the end of the half the score was, San Jose 0, Santa Clara 0. Fleming took the kick-off in the second half. By a brilliant series of passes San Jose reached Santa Clara's five yard line, but they couldn't get the ball over the line for a try. The game swerved from one side to the other, but no points were made. With one-half minutes to play, a line out was formed on Santa Clara's one yard line. But the Santa Clara boys saved them- selves and the whistle blew with the score tie, Santa Clara O, San Jose 0. 95. ,iiiis Hs. 9 -... I - .A , D- -- S A si N .. la' X 4, ' ,C?f 1 '-- ' -- FC. .

Cocky Ross will captain the aggregation this year and Dutch Gribner is once more at the financial and business end of the game. Among the old men back are Mike Horne, Bill Stillwell, Spud Thurber, Joe MacGregor, Mel Smith and Ross. Stillwell has developed into a wonderful pitcher, while Thurber is now considered one of the best amateur catchers in the county. Ross and Horne are old reliables while McGregor and Smith are as good as any at second and first respectively. Among the new men are: Douglas, J. McArthur, Teixera, R. McArthur, F.

L. indoor meet held in the W u Auditorium Rink in San Francisco on Friday gg' l ng, night, October lst. l ' 0 S 'tl A team of but six men was sent up from here and entered but live events besides the relay. The fact that in all but one of these we were rewarded with a first or second prize caused us to sit up and take notice. Critics then prophesied that San Jose would win the Fall A. A. L. outdoor meet. The Hrst event, and the one we thought was cinched in our mn ' i T' 4 FPQ fin 96 BASE BALL TEAM TRACK TEAM favor was the half mile. Laederich got off with a had start, and after several laps the slippery floor began to tell on him and he dropped out to save himself for the mile run. In the 65-yd. high hurdles Thad Macaulay easily qualified for the finals. Although pitted. against Waliish CWilmerdingJ and WakernanfI-Iealdsburgl,two of the state's cleverest hurdlers. In the finals Mac made a runaway of the race, winning in the fast time of 12 1-5. , - . In the mile Laederich had better luck. Although at a disad- vantage, on account of shortening his ,natural stride, he was a strong contender. all of the way, and, although he gave Thorpe of Alameda a hard run for first, was forced to be content with second. W A In the finals of the relay San Jose led till the last man when Thomas unfortunately stumbled, leaving -us second place. Joe Thompson made the sensational run of the evening, gaining over 30 yds. on his man. ' ' 1 In the meantime Ofiield had been beaterrby a couple of inches in the shot by I-Iollis of Cogswell. , Brown managed to cop second in the highl jump, which proved especially hard as the take off was from the slippery fioor. - l9l0. Tlf The year nineteen hundred and ten promises to be a brilliant one for San Jose in Track. Never before has this side of athletics attracted such interest. San Jose is entering upon a new era. We have the material, and we have the spirit. This year we will break Santa Clara's lucky spell, which when once broken can never be gained again. , Manager Green proves to be an energetic worker and Captain Laederich a popular and-just leader. To Mr. Steele the school wish to express their hearty appre- ciation for his services. To him we owe our success in both the Indoor and Outdoor A. A. L. meets. A San Jose Wins.A. A. L. San Jose returned from San Francisco, October 30th, with first honors in the A. A. L. for the first time in history. The meet was-close and undecided till' the last event-the relay, in which San Jose inished second, giving us a margin of 4 points. Thefiteam certainly Worked hard and deserved the victory which was due to a well balanced team and not to individual point gainers. The meet in full: The 440 yd. dash was the first event 974 --1-1-.- .1-1. Ha E9 entered by San Jose. Thompson represented the purple. He took the lead at the start, then dropped back in favor of Cummins of Alameda. J. B. held this position to the end, finishing with a pretty sprint, a yard behind the Alameda man. McCaulay took second in the finals of the 120 hurdles. He had the race cinched up to the eighth hurdle and was running easily. In this one he strained his hip. He gamely finished two feet behind the winner, but had to be assisted from the field. The 220, one of the fastest races of the day, went to Thorpe of Alameda, with Capt. Laederich a good second. With this came the announcement that Offield, with three others, had qualified for the finals of the shot-put, and a little later the news of his victory withia throw of 44 ft., netting the purple 5 points and their only first place. All our men, Thomas, Smitherum and Ofiield, qualified for the finals of the 220. Offield was the only one to enter, the others saving for the relay. Olin added' another point to. his score by coming in a good fourth. Wunderlich ran a pretty race in the 220 hurdle heats and get fourth place in the finals. Shields got fourth in the mile after running a gritty and fast race. In the field Ofiield took fourth place in the hammer throw. Owing to an injury to his shoulder received in the Santa Clara game, Brown had great difficulty in his events, but the manager proved reliable as usual, taking third place in the high jump and pole vault. The following are the point gainers for the Purple : Ofiield 7, Brown 4, Thompson 3, McCaulay 3, Laederich 3, Shields 1, Wun- derlich 1, Relay team 6. Total 28. Boys' Basket Ball. LTHOUGH the team feels the loss of three of its best men who graduated in June, yet with A our, old star, Fleming, and the new material which we are doing our best to whip into shape, we hope and expect to have a team that we will be proud of. Among the new material are I M. Hazeltine, Douglas, Hecox and Wagner. Hazeltine is showing up well, and his team work and basket shooting is very creditable. Douglas is a veteran, having played basket ball on the first S. J. H. S. basket ball team in 1906. ' 98 The basket ball team has never had the support of the school as the other teams have, and for no reason whatever. Basket ball is a good, clean, interesting sport, and should be royally supported. In Oakland High, and all the Bay cities, basket ball is considered as important as football. Manager Jay Brown expects to have the court fixed up this year and have a few teams visit us, and when they come the whole school should turn out and show them that we really do appreciate basket ball. Howard Fleming is captaining the team this year, and Jay Brown is manager. Girls, Basket Ball. IRLS' Basket, Ball has been re-organized and has Nl if started on another prosperous and, we hope, ' G ly victorious year. Great interest has been shown Xie and a large number of girls have been out X J practicing in hopes of gaining positions on the team. Theconly set back to the team is the poor condition of the court, but the girls are not allowing this to discourage them. During the first part of the season, Miss Kathleen Henning- sen gave the team her assistance as coach, but her Senior duties became too heavy for her and she gave way to. Miss Ola Rowell who hasdone all in her power to bring a victorious team out of the material in her hands. The team is composed of: 4 i Guards, Isabel Rowell Ccaptj, Hazel Naasg touch, Mary Pearyg centers, Hazel White, Aileen Reed, goals, Ada Mul-hol- land Cmagr.J, and Theda Hyde, substitutes, Genevieve Schell- bach, Elizabeth Bean. Tennis. . A. T last the High School has a tennis court, and a good one, too. Mr. Sheriffs and the Board of If' 3 Education are indeed to be thanked for what X :, y ave one or us. n u ' Q A f' the h d f Q Tennis has not been a live activity in .the past, although we have had P. A. L. champion- ship teams nearly every year. But these 99 i 2 Ha bi championships have been won by individual lovers of the game. Now that we have a court on the school grounds, the fellows are beginning to get interested and already the court is crowded with enthusiastic players or onlookers. The Faculty have organized a club and the students have also done so. These two clubs, under the tennis manager, Thad lVIacCaulay, will have full control of the court. In the Faculty are,many clever players, such as Chas. Jacobs, Roy Thompson, Cunningham, Van Matre and Steele. Among the students such players as Joe Rucker, Dug Sim, Howard Fleming, Kelley Sweitzer and Thad MacCaulay stand out prominently, while Purt Ross and Don Williams, two Freshmen, can give these experienced players a good run for their money. Let us hope that next semester we may have the P. A. L. played on our court, and that San Jose High School will annex another championship. 0 X tit lv f lv We ' ,ix i . V J 5 N T ,- in .

You are taking English 1st hour, Algebra 3rd hour, History 4th hour, and Woodwork 7th hour. On your last report you had three C's and a D. You were absent on the 31st of Sep- tember and again on the lst of November. You were one minute late the 2nd hour on October 15th because you lost your locker key, which is No. 299.

Peckhamj When the last bit of copy is finished, and our brains are nerve racked and worn, When the HBELLH has gone to the printer and the office deserted in scorn 5 When Dutch and Kelley are happy, no more to be pestered with work, But everyone living they'll greet with a smile and a bland celestial smirk. Ah, then shall there be joy in heaven, where we'll sit in the long martyr's row, . And the February class of Naught Ten will be there with their harps, don't you know, For no more will the Committee ask questions, no more our poor souls will them fear, But we'll sit on a cloud and giggle out loud, the next Editor's efforts to jeer. And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame, p And no one will work for nothing, but every last one will be game To take an eternal vacation-a long, everlasting rest, And the bitter pills of Editorial ills, we'll know were all for the best. POLITICS. Quotations from the Inside Men. Red Fisher-A most convenient means of getting into the public eye. Nominating speeches are fine practice in public speaking, even if the candidates do get sore. Tass Ryland-One can easily be appointed by the editor if he talks to him enough. R.

Dutch Gribner-If the Women only vote when I get into real politics. S. Green-Politics always make one popular, I am in for the boodle. - W. Dinsmore-An awful disappointment.

There was a red head named Fisher Who was an adorable kisser. Every time he connected, The echo reflected For miles and miles, so they say, sir. There was a young lady named Eugenia Who lives out in Santa Clara When she has time She flips up a dime To tell which-Bowden or Pierce? There was an old greezer named Field Hot air by the yard he reeled. But when he got through, S His mother said bool And safely in bed was he sealed. There was a fair maid called Brownie Who one day felt quite Hclownyi' She put down her heel, On a banana peel And straightway fell down-Cyl. There was a fellow named Kelley,' Who says it seems so silly ' To sit on a pin And foolishly gin Just to make the pin feel cheap.

Sq? T has been no easy task publishing this book. We 'THQ realize this only too well now that we have I at weathered' the storm, and it is with a sigh of KB relief that we lay down our burden. We have gg done our best, but without the aid of a few kind , friends this paper would have been found sorely deficient in many departments. For their friendly co-operation with us we Wish to thank the Bell-Herald committee. The San Jose Printing Company, Bush- nell, and the San Jose Engraving Company showed us friendly consideration and for this we are exceedingly grateful. Miss Post we cannot begin to thank for her ever readiness to correct copy. A great deal of credit is due Clara Miller for her clever drawings, also Percy McMillan, J. B. Thompson, and Sewall Brown. .Personally we wish to thank Asa Dimon for his many sug- gestions, and Tass Ryland, Sewall Brown, Erma Rayburn, Mary Sloss, Will Owen and Howard Fleming for the conscientious way in which they went about their work. - ' FRANK P. GRIBNER, Editor-in-Chief. ERWIN F. SVVEITZER, Business Manager. An Apology. HE editor wishes to humbly apologize to Dr. N. B. Van Matre, Miss Fullagar, Miss Henry and Miss T Shephard, of the Faculty, Don Williams and Sue Boulware of the Board of Representatives, Bailey Aggler and Archie Stewart, of Crown and Shield, and Marie Walker and Mary Lappin of the Senior Class, in consequence of their pictures not being in the aforesaid groups. The fact that their pictures were not in Bushnell's hands was discovered only at the last moment and it was then too late to make amends. It is hoped that this apology will be accepted in the spirit that it is given. 120 :- r E VW? W ! 11 ffy ll BHP nv .
