NUMBER 4 PRUDENT PEOPLE PURCHASE Ea PRICKLY | + POR CUPINES CLASS POEM—XMAS, 1902 As we stand to gaze on the battle of life, We of the Class of Nineteen Two, To our minds come the thought of the world’s great strife, And our bidding each other a last adieu. How oft have we trod up the High School stairs ‘To lessons and tasks by teachers assigned ; Coming alone, or coming in peirs, But never a membe: left behind. Four long years we have faithfully tried To climb, each term, to a higher grade; Searching for knowledge, far and wide Seeking impressions that never will fade. But now, NS me sketch, in a very few words, A few of the virtues of each of the class; Though of Tete good traits not recording a third, Yet all other classes they greatly surpass. As soon as we found our class must unite, We chose as our leadet a boy tall and strong, A boy who in field s ports finds greatest delight And whose face beams with happiness all the day long. We have in our number a bright, happy maid, With oe blue eyes end a warm noble hea Her sake in all works she will never evade, For Nannie will everywhere shoulder her part. Robert, whose knowledge toward all science doth tend, Is a youth that is tall, with handsome dark eyes; Though to victorious athletics his thoughts do most benc Yet in deep nciem dick he calls forth our suebtian. The-e’s Helen, who wishes for grece and for ease, She’s a figure that’s lithe and eyes that are bhie. If kind fates would grant her a wish that would plez Se, Its along social lines she her pathway would pursue. With Will’s art of persuasion voice, As a shrewd auctioneer he’ d be sure to succeed, He'd urge each buyer into m:z aking a choice And purchasing goods that one never would need. in manner and Sweet Alice, among us so studious and bright, A future has planned that few may excel; Because of he- wishes to do what is right, We chose her our prophet, our fates to foretell. And then, Nellie Ward, with hair dark and curly, Comes treading to school so dainty and neat; In class she is prompt, she is always here early, To one who’s so constant can come no def eat. That Master Fred Wooley is bright, we all know, le works for a field d ay as if fo- his life: A on such as he we our laurels bestow, r he’s of the mettle to win a strife. -ulu has tastes that are purely aesthetic, What she loves most fondly are beauty and grace; ‘ither songs that will thrill one with notes so pathetic Or the beauty of mind that shines in a face. Jesse Wright is the one with the dark auburn curl s, He’s always for t-uth and for honesty stands, This wins him a place in the hearts Of the girls, For ’tis boys such as he that can fill all de- mands. We have emong us a dark-haired Grace, Who’s career leads her on in the paths of duty, As class historian she takes her place, nd may she portray our past in its beauty. s we bid farewell to each other tod: Ly, Let each promise to meke the ende: avor To live up to the best that is in us alway, nd preserve our class friendship aaa —Grace Butler. oe CLASS PROPHECY One cold winter night when the wind blew and the snow fell without, I stood to watch the snow flakes fall. The thick w hirl of the tiny, white specks sped thick and fast. ( ‘loser and closer they came and, ina sudden rush, caught me and softly whirled me away in their merry dance. Everything about me was frozen and white: the brook by the wayside had put on the icy coat; the trees bowed down with their snowy burden were scattered around me: under foot, nothing wes visible but the purest snow. Sud- denly in the distance shone the glimmer of many lights. Fo llowing this guide I soon came 4 THE PORCUPINE. to the grandest spectacle ever viewed by hu- man eyes. Among the trees was built a winter palace of ice. Under the spell of beauty I stood amazed. Upheld by large pilasters of ice, the roof, glist- ening like so many diamonds, was hung with myriads of icicles of varying shapes and sizes. Windows and doors, made of sheets of ice, were studded with christalized drops, like precious stones in their brilliancy. Beauties of balconies and of courtyards were not lack- ing. I stood entranced before this vision of splendor, like Aladdin of old in the jeweled ceve. Surely this must be the hiding place of those little spirits, the elves! Cautiously approach- ing lest my presence would be considered an intrusion by those diminitive spirits, my fears were instantly dispelled by a greeting from the tiny portes, by whom I was conducted into the presence of the king. Far at the end of a spacious hall, lighted with the rays of the aurora borealis, wes stationed the throne. Around it in a semi-circle stood forty little pages awaiting the orders of their king. Clad in his robe s of royal purple and wearing a crown of rere beauty, sat the tiny, snowy-haired king. Here awaited those in- quisitive mortals wishing to solve the mysteries of the future, among whom I was one. Having graciously received me, his royal highness, who had anticipated all of my de- sires, summoned a page to lead me into 2, cham- ber, where innumerable icicles, both large and small, gleamed pendant f-om the ceiling. Smil- ing with pleasure, this little elf led me to the farthest corner, where hung fourteen icicles brighter than the rest. Within these, he in- formed me, were sculptured the futures of the Xmas class of 1902, the less brilliant pendants holding the fast dissolving futures of the past g-aduates of the Santa Rosa High School. Looking upward. I discovered in one a small picture. After careful scrutiny, I recognized the visage of our president. But, alas! his face had lost its youthful look; his brow was dark with frowns; his hair wes scarce and gray. This familiar face I beheld in the office of a boys’ school, meeting out with cane our coun- sel, the daily deserts of a waywa-d student. Suddenly his cane ceases its downward strokes; his face is wreathed in smiles; his thoughts have traveled back to his boyhood when he himself had been delivered from punishment for some mischievous prank. Another icy pendant presents a scene of splendor; a gorgeous setting of a stage on which Nanny, as a famous actress, portrays the noble Portia, encircled by the many wo-- shippers at the shrine of the sunny-haired heiress of Belmont. Within another crystal sper, our poetess stands in a village school patiently drilling the little ones about her upon a storied page. A soft. sweet tinkling attracts me to an- other, where -ippling drops have frozen into clear, pure notes of melody. These our class historien were catching to bestow upon her music pupils. Will I see in old Deutchland, by the side of his pretty Gretchen. Here, with his g-:and- children around him, he sits and relates to them, how, in a distant land, in the ancient games of base and football he made all the home-runs and touchdowns for the S. R- H. S. A bright little icicle incloses a’ household scene whee demure little Nell is patiently toil- ing midst her domestic ceres, as bashful and quiet as she was in her childhood days. The sudden sound of cracking ice drew my attention to another icicle. Here, on a plat- form, clearly and decisively expounding in stentorian tones, her views on the question of woman's suffrage, stood Lulu. But the cracking of ice had as a protest not this icicle. It had come down from the one beside it, where face, encircled with auburn cu-ls, frowns over the maps and plans of a mining engineer. It is our Jesse. In the next icy receptacle is a little grocery store where Fred Wooley weighs out a penny- weight of tea or five cents worth of sugar. A picture is snow-clad Switzerland. A bright spring morning on which, in company with 1 gey and happy party of pleasure seeke-s, tel en slowly winds her way up the snowy Alps, frequently stopping to hear the echo of their merry voices from the deep canyon below. Hearing deep voices in debate, I passed on to the next icicle. In this I saw a court of jus- tice, over which the Hon. Robert Valdes pre- sided. In the es of the lawyers around him, could be traced the deep anxiety awaiting the decision of the jury. Two icicles yet -emained but set epart from the rest. Six months ago, Elizabeth Simons and Daca Perry decided to leave us; neverthe- less these prophetic molders of our fate had remembered them among the class of Decem- ber, 1902. el ony The former I see in a Stanford classroom, proudly showing how much she had learned in our High School. The latter is settled down in a cozy home. She sits gezing at the depa-ted vision of a re- nowned M. D. A cupid’s bow and arrows tell the cause of the vanishing vision. High above my head still hangs another spar. It is the last. I reach my hands to clasp it. One moment more—the elfin palace is gone! I stand at the window watching the snow flekes fall. 0 te “I wonder how Venus de Milo came to lose her arms?” “Broke ‘em off, probably, trying to button her shirt-waist up the back.”—Ex. _ os “Tf the devil we-e to have his tail cut off, what would he do?” “He would go to a saloon where they retai? evil spirits.” —Ex. : THE HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1902 In January of the year 1898 the chimes of the High School bell resounded upon the quiet air. Toward the building flocked the pupils; their books under their arms, and their faces bright and happy. Some walked boldy along and entered the building with a confident air. Other timid ones stood looking about them, and one might have known by their actions that they were just entering upon the duties of a High School course. The next bell rang call- ing them to their seats and the great closed. A class of thirty bright, happy thoughtless boys end girls, who liked fun and were deter- mined to have all they could. crossed the thres- hold of the g-eat study hall. Before six months had passed—nay three— a great many found it was not all fun and had dropped out. The conduct of the higher student towards doors the Freshmen was amusing; the seniors looked upon them with an air of superiority, little real- izing that in order be a senior, one must first be a freshman; the sophomores we-e a lit- tle more considerate; while the juniors took them by the hand and helped them over the rough places they themselves had just passed. When the class in biology was called, they (ll swarmed to the laboratory, and, before the year was up, found themselves deep in the anatomy of all kinds of animals, such as the Aemoeba, Hydras, fishworms and sharks. Some prefe-ring the study of plant life, took up bot- any instead of biology. During study hours the class flocked to the reading tables, where they leerned the history of the ancient, medieaval and modern people. The intervals of fifteen and twenty minutes in which all studies were laid aside, were occu- pied in different amusements. Some of the girls walked, their heads bent close in school- girl chatter, while othe-s took their first danc ing lessons in the basement. The bx � yvs amused themselves by playing baseball or football. in a game of | one of the class had his arm broken. Phe bakery wagon always happened to pass just Immediately it was surrounded by boys and girls, nickels in hand w aiting to be served. Upo mM receiving his doughnuts each lucky boy, followed by 2, crowd, left the wagon contented. Presently several boys could be seen holding a doughnut in one hand and play ing ball with the other. The girl. with a of cookies, walked away down the street companied by her friend, each refres self with a cake. Entering upon the at recess. hae ac- 1ing her- English course under the instruction of Miss O'Meara, the class took up the study of Scott’s novels, Homer’s Iliad, and the classic Myths. Thus ‘passed the first year of the course. The second yea- passed in about the same manner as the first had passed. Having com- pleted He work in ine , they were promoted PORCUPINE 5 to the class in physiology, where they came in contact with the frog and the cat. While at work, suddenly a great commotion could be heard at the farther end of the laboratory. A little mouse, seeing the array of cats lying dead and believing the way was secure, had ventured to cross the room. The boys gave chase to the little animal, but the shrieks of the girls, who, upon seeing it climbed up to the top of their stools, were more terrified than either cats or and the little creature quickly scampered back to its hiding place. Anothe branch of study was taken up this year—the study of languages. Some entered upon the German course, others upon the French, but none attempted the Latin. The E nglish this year was composed of a study r of boys, Irving’s “Alhambra,” and the poems “From Milton to Tennyson.” : The greatest event of the year was the distri- bution of the term cards. The students waited with anxious looks and beating hearts to re- ceive them and to know what their fate would be. Then what a confusion there was among the students! Some were running here and there with angry looks on their faces, hunting different teachers; others with happy faces talking with groups of schoolmates; while a few contented ones, with their books under their a-ms, started homeward. During the next year, athletics claimed a large share of attention, for the field day th year, made much greate-. Then physics was taken up, the laboratories swarmed with students who struggled with heat until the shivers ran down their backs, and with sound until they were almost deaf. One hour in the week was looked forward to with great interest by most of the students. Chi hou- when Congress was held, and the preparations at had been made the pre- hopes of victory this year vious 1iS was the and in which many of the higher students took part. It was instituted on a plan similar to that of the United States Congress, being com- eae of a House of Representatives, made ip of the general body of the students appor- ata to the states, and 2. senate composed of several members from the different classes Any member was allowed to introduced a bill. The clerk and assistant clerk having been elect- ed, took their places at the desk and made a record of the days’ p-oceedings. Each bill wes read and discussed in its order. Each speaker was allowed to have ten minutes in which to eak, using the time in divisions or speaking the full ten minutes at once. Then, by a ma- jority of the House, he would be given an ex- tra two minutes in jap to conclude his speech. The bill for the exclusion of the Chi- from Washington, Oregon end Califor- nia, introduced by a younger member of Con- gress, was discussed with great inte-est and finally passed by an overwhelming majority. On the tariff question, the class president, Louis Frei, made i se a strong speech in its favor. 6 THE PORCUPINE During the fourth year 2 portion of the stu- dents took up the Latin couse, while others took French. By hard work and taking extra hours, two of the number graduated with the June class, thereby leaving only twelve to complete the course at Christmas. + ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATES (By Principal E. M. Cox) Graduation from school, whether it be from High School or from a_ higher institution, brings to the graduate a very much deeper con- sideration of the seious things of life than is customery with him at other times. At such times there is the breaking of the routine which has governed his actions and thoughts for many years, and the necessity for choosing an occupation or a new line of action is forced up- on him. You members of this class, no doubt, are pondering over and weighing the signifi- cance of many things thet have heretofore caused you no thought or anxiety. Even thoughts as to what you are “to do” or “to be”’ in this life have possibly been very vague and uncertain. Now questions of this nature hold pre-eminence in you: minds and not only you, but your friends, acquaintances and the nation ege concerned in these things. It has been apparent to many of us that such considerations have not been wholly lacking to you while students. Most of you have been more serious about your school wo-:k than is usually the case. Long before this we have observed that the problems of life have come to you, and that what you are “being” and “doing” have entered into your conscious- ness. Your friends and the community are con- cerned in this, else they would not have offered you these opportunities. They believe that by giving you education you will ‘be’ and “do” what is best for the community and the nation. They believe that by leerning f-om the exper- iences of humanity you will be better trained to act rightly in the future. This school and all other public schools are evidence that the people believe that education is essential to the life of the nation. These opportunities are given generously that they may beget helpful- ness and generosity in you. The world is not concerned as to what you are, or the prominence of your friends, or the “set” to which you belong. It is especially true that young people attach too great prominence to these things. Every generation shows, however, that, while in youth one person will not condescend to notice another, in but a de- cade or two he is begging for favors from the one he once so delighted to snub. It is not necessary to go to othe: generations or other communities and schools for our illustrations. There are boys and girls in our midst with a loftiness of cheracter, purity of intention, love of right, and ambition in life, who, because of their homliness of manners, humble birth, or simplicity of clothing are being lorded ove by the so-called “sets,” who, because of what they are and will be, will in a few years be dispens- ing favors to those who feel that it is a conde- scension to even be in their presence. It is a matter to be gratified over to be a member of a “set” or “club” when the requirements for membership are based upon cha-acter and abil- ity. This is the wholesome world standard. It has no provision regarding the quality of clothing, polish of manners, or accident of birth. The conditions which many boys and girls establish for edmission to their ‘“‘sets” would exclude the youthful Franklin, Lincoln, Clay, Webster, Jackson, Whittier, Longfel- low, and many move of the promient men and women of our country. Their plain clothing, bashfulness and awkwardness of manner would have barred them notwithstending the staunch integrity, honesty and loftiness that characterized them in youth as well as in man- hood and womanhood. An honest mind and a sympathetic heart will do the world more good, win you more comfort and happiness, and bind to you a greater host of friends than can any amount of polished manners, accumulation of riches,or prominence of friends. They will supply you with the gen- uine politeness which will surpass all the polish that can be given to the manners of one who is selfish and deceitful, and who attempts to es- sert his own superiority. They will give you a wealth of character greater than riches and they will bind to you friends of like characte- who will be a continual source of comfort and happiness. If the work you have done here hes given you truer standards of life, greater ability to accomplish, and a desire to advance, we shall feel that your time has been well spent and that you will be an honor to this institution whose name you are now to beer. The work of you- class has been characterized by earnestness and traightfordwardness. Those of you who have influenced and directed the affairs of the class in this line will manage future events with which you are connected in the seme manner. Thus you will have evidence of your appre- ciation of the favors you have received and confi-m us in the beliefs we have as to your future character and influence. : As you are presented with your diploma to- day, your class will go forth with the stamp of our approvel. We would have you depart with a determination to judge every theory and doc trine honestly ; to base your opinion of all per- sons upon characte: rather than outward ap- pearances and conditions; and to be fair and courteous to ell. - ° e° Ma:riage Announcements—Benj.

Jack and his classmate, Dick, had just gave a hard round with the gloves in the gym. Then after a rest Jack said, “If the boys keep on training this week, es they have in the past, the cup is ours.” So saying, le gave Dick a punch that almost sent him off the box. This started the boxing again, and after a five minute zound the boys put on their caps and started home. There was to be a holiday Tuesday and they said they would finish the paper on Virgil in the morning. In the afternoon they were to play a practice game with the second team. The next day the two boys met in the library and began work. They worked little and talk- ed much of the geme. About 1:45 they left the library and went to the postoffice where Jack mailed the tickets to the Keswicke-s. “Jack,” said Dick, “Old man, my family are not at home and you just come around to my house to finish that paper. We can get some canned goods and ‘batch’ it.” “Well,” essented Dick. After their purchases were made they went into the neat, up-to-date cottage of the Grahams. Mr. Graham was the head of one of the prominent banks, and needed a rest, so he, with his family, had gone to the coast. Jack would not let them go until they agreed to be home by Saturday. The two schools of Stockbridge and Kes- wick were to battle over the pigskin on Satur- day. Jack Graham was elected Captain of the Stockbridge team and did justice to the posi- tion. He was a heavy man and played right half. The team liked Jack, and Jack the team. [It was Saturday, the day the team longed for. The excursion was to arrive at 11 :30, but it came at 11:45. The noise from the train could be heard a mile off, but it was answered by the home school boys. Captain Graham met the team and led them to quarters. After a rest and a lunch, the two teams began to prepare for the game. At 2:30 the teams prac- ticed and at 3:00 lined up. There was a call, “Captain’s, ready?” “Yes,” was answered back. Then went Jack’s foot against the helf and it sailed towards the 20 yard line. Long, who ran with the ball, was downed on the 35 yard line by the litlle quarter, Dick, Skipping on their noseguards, Jack and the others en- couraged the men. “20, 16, 104, 96,” rang out cleerly. There was a skirmish and Keswick was downed on the 60 yard line—a big gain. Each Stockbridge player determined not to let this thing occur again. But, with a well sup- ported buck, Woods made a touchdown. Again it was Stockbridge’s kick off, but at the first skirmish there was a fumble. The umpire called the bell in possession of the local team. First Dick called Jack’s number (he could always depend on Jack) to go around end; but the opposing team tackeled him with only 3 yards to his credit. After a few more plays, Stockbridge made a touchdown off a l Grahem end run, and the score was even. When the half was up, Jack and Dick (whose was as great as Jack’s) encouraged the men and gave them lemons to suck, along with encouraging words. The whistle rang out and then the two teams lined up. With the first down Jack lay groaning, his wind gone. But it returned and he was happy that it was not yards that were gone. As the second half grew short, the tackle gained some yards and placed the ball in front of the goal. Jack fell back for a place kick, and if ever a better one was made the team would like to have known of it. When the Keswickers saw this their faces grew long. They grew longer still when they saw the Stockbridge team walk, arm in arm, off the gridiron. very true Stockbridger remembers that famous geme.

The football team has done very well this season considering the teams they have play- ed, and they are also to be congratulated upon their efforts. (en na eerie Again we look about us and see what a suc- cessful period the world has just passed over. It has been plainly shown during the last twelve months that civilization is progressing very rapidly. Se Again the basket bell team deserves its share of praise for the part it has taken in school affairs this term. Although the team played but the one game it won that by fairty out-classing their opponents. The Vallejo team took their defeat gracefully, and the manage- ment for Santa Rosa is complimented on se- curing a game with such a team. The time for graduation is here again, and again we must part with those who have been our companions for the last few years. The Christmes class of 1902 is one of exceptional merit, and in parting with them we will lose a worthy collection of students. During their stay at Santa Rosa High they have distin- guished themselves in many lines, and their absence will be keenly felt in the pa:t which they nobly upheld. The term ending December 19th has been one of the most successful in the history of the school. Looking at it from all points of view, educational, social, and athletic. Higher re- cords have been received on the average than eve: before. There hzs been a closer affiliation and co-operation between teachers and pupils than ever before. The athletic teams have been very successful under the circumstances. We wish to congratulate the teachers and pupils upon the term’s work. The term ending also mekes a reflection point for the staff of the Po-cupine. During the four months of this term we have endeavored to publish a paper worthy of the school, and we hope we have succeeded. Although we have not received the support desired from the school, yet many have contributed in various ways, to whom we are very grateful. We a-e also grateful to the numerous merchants, who have felt interested in the success of the Porcu- pine and have kindly given their support. “You are a brick,” I did aver To Daphne, by my side; “A sort of pressed brick as it were,” She roguishly replied.

It has one very good story, “Lit- tle Joe’s Thenksgiving.” We fail to find much merit in “A Poetical Story,” in the November Tabula, but, other than this, the paper is very good. The News, from East Orange, contains a very clever article on Horse Bucking. We only wish it could -each more of those for whom it is meant. We must edmit that “Septibonia’s Search” is at least a good advertisement. The Oriole is up to its usual good standard. We note with pleasure the arrival of a new exchange, The High School Review from Hamilton, Ohio. The Record has severel good stories in it this month. The Triangle, from Sycamore, Ill., is a new exchange and is quite interesting. Sparks, from Haywac-ds, Cal., is resplendent in green and brown. The Aegis, of Oakland, Cal., is as prompt and interesting as ever. The Regina hes come to us all the way from Ashland, Maine. We hope she will come often. = looks as if The Searlewe from Covington, Ky., had gotten its cover on wrong side out. The High School, Sentiment, from Parsons, KKansas, should have an occasional story. The October Herald has a most fetching cover. The following other exchanges have been received by us: The Oek, Olla Podrida, The Balance Sheet.

The league that was to have iat formed has been broken up, as some of the schools could not afford $2.50 for the trophy that would have been put up. Most of the games will be played, however, and although not in the pea they will cause nea‘ly as much interest. The Santa Rosa Business College has had two games already, and were victorious in both of them. They played Healdsburg at that place on Thanksgiving. The score wes 6 to o. Again. they played the Pet aluma team and bore them down like leaves before a north wind. On Thanksgiving our team had a game with Peralta Hall of Berkeley. This team was ten or fifteen pounds heavier to the man than we were, and thus were enabled to crush through our line to a hard-earned victory. They made one touchdown and missed the goal. Our team showed much superior team work, and held out fine. The boys put up a stout geme, but lost. The ball was kicked off at 11:45 by Peralta and after being brought back from out of bounds it was kicked again. This time Wilson received it and carried it quite a ways. Two quick long runs followed. Jess Wright mak- ing the first of about fifteen pete and San- bor n followed with one of qual distance. Things looked very bright at this point. But next a fumble occurred and we lost the ball at about the center of the field. Peralta took the ball and at once began a aie of bucks. They shoved the ball down to Senta Rosa’s 20 yard line and there lost it on downs. We gave a few short plays and then Sanborn circled the end with fine interference and got past the lines, and had a fine show for a touch- down but for the crowd upon the field. He ran into several in the way, and was fo-ced out of bounds. This makes the second game that has occurred. Last time it was the game with Napa. The ball was carried to the center of the field and was lying upon the dividing line when time was called, with the ball in possession of Peralta Hall. Eerl Riley was captain of the visiting team, and played fullback. He was put through the line when a gain was needed. After a rest of ten minutes the whistle was blown and the teams lined up again. This time oes Rosa kicked off to Peralta, end again the all had to be brought back from out of bounds. Next time Sanborn kicked it to their right tackle who just touched it and it bounded off. Smith was there, caught the ball, and was not stopped until he gained the 25 ya-d line. Here we lost the bell on downs. T ee Peralta began a series of bucks of the field and made a touch- down but missed the goal. Again we kicked off and lined up for a strug- gle. They punted and brought the ball into our territory. Soon they were in front of our goal and they tried for a field goal, but it was blocked by Sanborn, who also succeeded in get- ting the ball. The game ended with only the one score made s wine alta, o SUE SuuG: Quite a crowd witnessed the game, but not as large as was expected. A little money was cleared. Some arrangements have been made for a game on Christmas. Other games come off on W ednesday, December r7th Heald (Sy 186 ey C.. and probably on Saturday, the 2oth, we play Petaluma. The line-up of the Thanksgiving game was 10 THE as follows: Center, Smith, guards, Dodge and Hall; tackles, Valdees and Wilson; ends, Moodey and Geary; quarter, Neurauter; full- back, Parsons; halfbacks, Wright and San- born. On Saturday, December 13th, Santa Rosa went to Healdsburg and defeated the Healds- burg team by a score of 39 too. It was decid- edly a walk over, even though Healdsburg has been doing some hard training. Tita ate BASKET BALL The only basket ball game which has been played in Sante Rosa this term has excited general enthusiasm. Our girls have been keyed up to a high pitch for some time and have done some admirable practice. They well deserved to win. At eleven o’clock of the eventful day all the membezs of the team were gathered at the S. P. station to receive the Vallejo team. When the train arrived the girls were all assigned to members of our team, who entertained them at lunch. Soon after one o’clock the crowd began to gather in Germania Fall and the uppe: gallery was crowded. Mr. Cox was appointed time-keeper, Miss O'Meara referee, and Miss Longmore umpire, while Lottie Bonnell and Ida Brown acted as line men. The ball was set in play and went into the Santa Rosa basket so suddenly that we hardly realized it. Three or four times the ball passed that way, but it could not be said to have been the fault of the playing on the opposition as our girls were so much taller than the others that it passed ove: their heads. But now luck began to change and Vallejo’s score, partly through the splendid free throws of Miss Farmer, crept up until at the end of the second half the score stood 8 to 6 in our favor. It wes an interesting and closely contested game, and much skill was exhibited on both sides. Both teams were satisfied, there were no hard feelings, and altogether it was the most successful game Santa Rosa has played. The Vallejo girls could not have taken defeat bette: nor appeared more charming than they did. They gave the Santa Rosa team a much appreciate d compliment and one which is much to our credit, that we played a splendid game and did not come anywhere near their expecta- tion concerning our reported “roughness.” We hope to have a return game soon, and also that it will have as successful a result as this one. The line-ups were as follows: Vallejo—Elsie Wiedman (captain), center; Nellie Decker, center; Inez Fa-mer, left goal; Edith Brownlee, right goal; Hazel Denio, right guard; Mabel Thompson, left guard. Santa Rosa—Frances Woolsey (captain), center; Alice Sweetser, center; Edna Purring- ton, left goal; Marie Pierce, right goal; Marie Griffith, sight guard: Gertrude Joost, left guard. PORCUPINE SCHOOL NOTES Several of the Santa Rosa teachers will at- tend the meeting of the State Teachers’ Associ- ation at Los Angeles, held during the mid- winter vacation. Prof. Cox, Roy Fryer, and Miss Hathaway will represent the High School. Prof. Cox will deliver an address be- fore the Council of Education of which he is a member.

On Saturday evening, December 13th, the June class of 1903 gave a farewell reception in honor of the graduating class. It was a very enjoyable affeir, the guests being ente-tained by an excellent programme, games and danc- ing. Refreshments were served, and the as- semblage dispersed with many fond farewells. On Friday evening, November 28th, a com- pany of High School girls gewe an elaborate dancing party in Society Hall. The hall was very prettily decorated. The guests numbered about sixty. Dainty -efreshments were served and every one pronounced the party a _ suc- cess. School closed December toth for the Christ- mas vacation, and will not re-open until Jan- uary 5, 1903. The beccalaurate sermon was delivered by the Rev. Peter Colvin, pastor of the First Christian Church, on Sunday evening, Decem- ber 14th. Rev. Colvin’s subject was ‘‘P-ogress in Life.’ The graduating class attended in a body, as well as many other High School stu- dents. BROOKS’ HALL GHOST It was just two days before Christmas in Englend. It promised to be a typical, old- fashioned day of praise. The ground was al- ready covered with snow piled in great drifts against the fences and barns; the eaves of the houses were edged with glistening icicles. The bare trees loomed dark and p-ominent against the white earth and sky. The little snow birds hopping from branch to branch, chirped forth their approval and delight. The country home of Squire Brooks, not far from the little village of Northampton, was in g-eat excitement, for the squire never could allow such a day to pass without a merry crowd about him. Q From the kitchen came the delicious odor of roasted meats, plum pudding and mince pies. The old cook ren from pantry to kitchen in great excitement, scolding and sampling the various dainties at the same time, while the timid housemaid fled to the furthest corner to escape her wrath. THe With the appearance of Miss Mabel and Miss Bess (“the two black plagues,” as the cook persisted in calling them), the-e arose a new storm and it was not until she had driven them both from the kitchen that all was serene again, and the frightened maid ventured from her corner. The two young ladies had just returned from their boarding school that morning; Mabel with the honors of a g-aduate end Bess filled with hopes. They were both brunettes, with a great wealth of black hair, sparkling black eyes, and rosy cheeks. Mabel was the older of the two, having just reached her twentieth birthday. Beautiful, sparkling end witty, she charmed all. Bess was vastly different from her sister. She cared not fo: society and admiration. A jolly good time and the love and admiration of her father was all she craved. With much merriment the day pzssed, each train bringing some new arrival to partake of the old squire’s hospitality. The next morning when they were all gath- ered about the breakfast table and the olk squire was looking ove- his mail, he announce with a twinkle in his eyes thet the girls’ cousin Horace Brooks, and his best friend at Oxfor« college, Clifford Hope, were to arrive that morning to spend Christmas with them. This was met with great delight. From Bess’ enc of the table came a chuckle of app-oval, so they all knew mischief was brewing. Bess anc Horace had always been hostile, since they were small children, and even if Bess was a young lady of nineteen and he a man of nearly twenty-two they still kept up their childish wartare. Bess arose ebruptly from the table, and sing- ing, strolled out on the broad veranda to feed the little snow birds. She was a sight to please anyone, her beautiful face glowing with health and happiness. Suddenly changing her mind, she wheeled about and went in search of the stable boy to whom she geve o-ders to saddle Nig. Soon she was speeding along the wide country road, her riding habit of holly red con- trasting with the glossy black of her hair. Her mind was busy. Her revenge, what should it be? Horace must be beaten by her once. Nig, finding himself allowed to wander random, fell into a lazy walk. Ah! she had it. Horace should see ghosts! A merry laugh fell on the f-osty air as she tapped Nig and started off into a lively gallop. at Sweaters Jerseys Leggings Gymnasium Suits Sporting Goods Bathing Suits | ) | KNIT | ) PORCUPINE WPfistee 60 GEARY STREET SAN FRANCISCO 11 There had been an old legend connected with the hall of how the beautiful daughter of one of its old mesters had been murdered on Christ- mas Eve, and every Christmas Eve, exactly at twelve o’clock, her ghost wandered through the house. The servants had become so super- stitious and frightened over this sto-y that the old squire had forbidden it to be mentioned. As Bess galloped along, she decided that Hor- ace should see that phantom at eny cost. She drew rein at the station just as the train rolled in. The next minute Horace was receiv- ing greetings from Mabel, Bess, and the squire all at once. He was a great strapping fellow, with a figure that told of healthy outdoor spo-ts. His friend was of a slighter build, but with such a frank, boyish face, that he won the regards of the squire at once. Horace regarded his cousins with great ad- miration, and after duly presenting his friend began to wage war on Bess. “Ah! Bessie, arn’t you afraid that horse will throw you? Why, Uncle, I’m surpzised at your allowing such a small girl to ride that horse.” The squire burst into a heerty roar and, slap- ping Horace on the back, exclaimed, “The same old torment.” As for Miss Bess, she was clat- tering down the road at a lively gate. All that day Bess wore a mischievous smile and treated Horace with more than usuel cor- diality, receiving his taunts with a gracious good nature. That evening they all drew their chairs about the great roaring fire and soon there issued through the house peals of laugh- ter end merry chatter. They -oasted apples and chestnuts, and placed on one end of the wide hearth the good old-fashioned mug of cider. , With much merriment the evening wore away and it was quite late when Bess rose to follow the rest to bed. Just before she left. she caught the mug of cider and, holding it high in the air, said: “To Brooks’ Hall Ghost !’’ As she darted from the -oom she was fol- lowed by a peel of laughter from Horace. As good luck would have it the bovs decided to remain up longer. Bess was highly pleased as she went to her room. There she revealed her plan to Mabel, who pronounced it a capital joke. Bess hauled out of the tall dresser a dipper of flour, at which Mabel collapsed into @ fit of mi-th. Bess proceeded to cover her face with the flour until she resembled a snow drift Fooball, Baseball ; and Track Supplies INGCO. | Underwear in Linen, Lisle, Silk or Wool for any ) member of the family. 12 THE and her eyes great, black caverns. Then let- ting her hair fall down her back and over her shoulders, proceeded to wrap a sheet about her and glided up and down before the glass until Mabel felt the cold shivers run up and down her back. Looking et the clock, she saw it was just five minutes to twelve. Quickly catching up a candle, she hurried out of the room and down the hall, then up the stairs that went to the third floor, so that she should be coming down to the second floor just as the boys reached it. Horace and Clifford had been laughing and telling jokes about the boys at college until the fire burnt low and then, pushing their chairs back, prepazed to go to their rooms. When they were half way up the great staircase, the clock in the hall struck twelve, Clifford whis- pered “Brooks’ Hall Ghost.” Horace cast a glance behind him, but below all remained silent. As they ceme up to the second floor, all was dark except for one jet that was burning at the end of the hall opposite to where the stairs came down from the upper floor. As they reached the head of the stairs end were starting down the hall, Horace stopped as if frozen to the spot. his eyes bulg- ing from their sockets and his breath coming Clifford the in gasps. looked way indicated and clutched at the wall. There, in front of them, slowly descending the stairs, was Brooks’ Hall Ghost, with its long, black hair, sunken eyes, and pallid fece. The white robe trailing after it on which the flickering candle cast a ghostly light. It dreadful. The boys stood as if paralyzed, then, with one im- pulse, turned and plunged down the stairs. It seemed an eternity before they were back into the drawing room. They locked the doo-s be- hind them and then dropped, white end ex- hausted, into their chairs. Neither spoke. The dying embers threw a ghostly light on the wall. Somewhere in the house a shutter bang- ed. Both boys started and gazed behind them, then exchanged glances. So they sat until the grey light of dawn began to steal through the windows end they hea-d the old butler unlock- ing the doors, and Hannah in the kitchen. Then silently they stole upstairs, whe-e everything remained unchanged. was he next morning the rest had long been seated at the table before the boys put in an appearance, and it was then with é hageard faces and heavy eyes. U. , HAVEN PORCUPINE The “Merry Christmes” they received was returned with less zest than it was offered. Bess said she wonde-ed if any of the ser- vants had seen the ghost. and saw, with great satisfaction, the boys exchange meaning glances. But she was not yet ready to take her re- venge. The boar’s head and all the goodies of a Christmas dinner hed lost their attraction for the boys. All during the day one or the other could be discovered dozing in some remote corner of the house. That evening Bess revealed the story of the ghost and the sleepless night of the boys, at which everyone shouted in high glee at Horace and Clifford until they retreated to their rooms. Next morning, as Bess waved a farewell, she shouted, “Remember Brooks’ Hall Ghost!” res BRISTLES Doings in Happy Geom II 1. C.S.—‘Where did you get the pies?” J. G— ‘Stole.’em!”’ 2.
