They go now to swell the roll of Alumni and we are sure they will not be unworthy mem- bers. We wish to congratulate you on your success and before leaving bid you “Gluck auf.” The rains are nearly over and we can begin to turn our attention to track athletics again. We have succeeded in procuring cinders for our new track but, owing to the in- clemency of the weather, we have been prevented from do- ing a great deal toward spreading them. But another Sat- urday’s work will help things along a great deal, providing

14 THE PORCUPINE interests of a Life Insurance Co. All the eligible bachelors have their lives insured by her Company and they only re- gret that they cannot have their hearts insured as well, es- pecially against the wiles of pretty insurance agents. The next scene, and the last, is in gay Paris. Tread softly, you are in the abode of a famous singer. In an artistic studio, a man, long, lithe and willowy, stands in graceful pose. His long sunny locks are in picturesque confusion, as a good musician’s hair should be. His room is filled with tulips, roses and orchids, in February, mind you! On a little inlaid side table lie a heap of delicately scented notes— gray, mauve, pearl and white. This one, with the silver coat of arms, an invitation to the Countess M’s reception to meet celebrities; that one, a request to sing at a benefit ball; another, a sentimental tale of admiration for one of his previous performances; and, conspicuously incongruous among all its fine neighbors, a little plain white note—a laundry bill! It is high, but not so high as the tuneful notes of Wright Whitney. If you could only hear him warble high C! Ten minutes to six. Just time to catch the train if I run. =

16 THE PORCUPINE the ready support given at the beginning is kept up, and the track will soon be in good condition so that training can commence in real earnest. The inter class field-day will be held some time next month and everybody expecting to en- ter should get out as soon as possible. As an encourage- ment to beginners the Santa Rosa Cyclery has agreed to put.up a trophy which will be given to the highest point winner of those contestants who have never entered a High School field day before. Freshman, this means you; see if you cannot be the successful one. Then there is the meet to be held some time later between the Healdsburg High and the first and second years of this school. Our manager is trying to secure a similar meet with Petaluma. Freshmen, this will be your opportunity. You can’t de- pend on the Sophs for everything. Get busy. We certainly must compliment the Basket Ball boys on the excellent record of the team. They have had a very successful season and we wish them more success. Each succeeding game shows a marked improvement in the team and when the A. A. L. games come off our school will be ably represented. A new Basket Ball league was formed Saturday (the 2nd). It was given the name of the Union Basket Ball League and has five members—San Rafael High, Petaluina High, Healdsburg High, Santa Rosa High and Santa Rosa Busi- ness College. A series of games will soon be played for the championship of the league. Prof. Johnson was elected president, and Giles Briggs secretarp-treasurer. The “fall” term is now over and subscriptions are again due from our one term subscribers. —
