T was a summer evening W in one of the swampiest Vy) marshes of the South. Y) V There was very little to be SJ a sd YZ found in the region, but LSE very often tourists came through the country and remained a few days. Why a man of wealth should build a mansion in such a desolate place was the marvel in the eyes of the surrounding neighborhood. But this was just what old Colonel Wharton had done. Now the old man was dead and the estate was left to his only son, a prominent lawyer in Atlanta. W Y On this particular evening, a party of young people were seated on the veranda of the only hotel which the country could boast. The Wharton mansion could be clearly seen in spite of the fact that it was about half a mile away. They had been singing to the accompaniment of the hum of mosquitoes, but were now idly talking of the stories in which the village abounded. In nearly all these stories, Colonel Wharton was the central figure. He had led a most interesting life. Much against the will of his English father, he had married a poor but very beautiful Italian girl and had mi- grated to America, where he had chosen this place for a home. Their one son had all the beauty of his mother, but sustained the dignified character of his father. The Col- onel had fought in the civil war and had come back to find his homeplace almost de- serted and his wife dead. He was never the same after that, His beautiful place was neglected and his son was sent to col- lege to study law. He had never come back until his father’s death and then only re- mained long enough to see his old father laid to rest by the side of his beautiful mother. Gertrude Reid, one of the company, was rauch impressed by the stories, and proposed a walk up to the mansion in the moonlight An old darkey, who had been listening to the animated talk of the young people inter- posed at this point, advising them to wait until morning, because the old house was said to be haunted by the Italian girl every night. “Pooh,” exclaimed Gertrude, “If we be- lieved all the superstitious signs told us by these ignorant people, we could never do anything. I, for one, intend to go up to that house. Now, who’ll come with me?” One by one, the company assented and went gaily up to the house. It was not an un- common house, for there were many of them before the war, but in the moonlight its de- serted hallways and rooms looked very ghostly and wierd. As they were silently moving from room to room, examining the various cupboards and shelves, a strange light suddenly fell across the bare floor. The girls screamed and the young men were very much surpris- ed. The light disappeared as quickly as it had come. The party started to leave, but Gertrude Reid, ever curious and adventur- ous, exclaimed, “I intend to find out the meaning of that light. If you don’t want to THE ECHO. f ES come, you can go back to the hotel and wait for me!” Silently, her dearest friend, her brother, and his chum followed her towards the place from which the light had come. The rest of the party left the mansion and hastened to the foot of the hill to await developments. Meanwhile, Gertrude and her friends were crossing the house when the light was again thrown in their faces, and as quickly remov- ed. Quickly, they stepped to a window, which looked out on an ell formed by two portions of the house, and saw a great, burly African, who, with his back turned, was busily examining something in his hand. He was wholly unaware of any pres- ence. On one side of him was a powerful light, which, if he moved was thrown a great distance behind him. Soon two evil-looking men came around the corner of the house talking inaudibly but excitedly. Their faces shown plainly in the moonlight. The men came over to the negro and, after giving him a few hard knocks, handed him a box and told him to go at once. The negro stopped to examine it and with breathless interest, the four, now very excited young people, watch- ed him handle the contents which looked very much like gold and silver. The negro started off around the house and the evil- looking men started back. “Counterfeiters,” exclaimed Gertrude’s brother, Jack Reid. The two young men, now thoroughly aroused, left the two girls, crouching near the window and quickly and softly followed the big men, keeping ever out of their sight until they came to an opening through which the men had disap- peared. “What shall we do? There may be half a dozen men like them and they could easily overcome us. We had better go back and get the sheriff and some of the fellows and investigate. It will be a great discovery if that is what they really are.” They went back with the girls to the foot of the hill, where they told all they had seen. The girls were anxious to go back, but of course, that was out of the question. The sheriff, who thought it was some prank, refused to go until aroused by the earnest- ness of Jack Reid. He got out of bed, dress- ed and accompanied the men, well armed. The girls, very excited, eagerly awaited the return. They discussed the episode over and over and made the girls tell all about the big African and the evil-looking men. “Will they never come back?” asked Ger- trude. “They may all be killed. Those men looked like hardened criminals.” “Tt will all be due to you, Gertrude, if the counterfeiters are caught. We would never have gone up there, would we, girls, if she hadn’t insisted?” said her friend. Suddenly they heard the men returning and eagerly ran to meet the crowd. Ger- trude’s brother came up to them and told them they had found them to be a band of bold counterfeiters, for whom the State had sought in vain for three years. They had known the Colonel lived alone and securing aid from one of his servants, by offers of money, had been making money in an un- used portion of the old mansion, partially underground. Gertrude received many congratulations for her part in the discovery and announced it the most exciting experience in which she had ever taken part. THE ECHO. THE BARGAIN By Edith Sanford and Lily. Lewis EATRIX and Lester were talking on the Emeryville High School campus, after school. It was Tuesday © afternoon, one week be- eiore the geometry examina- Woy vas tion. “Look here, Lester, what are you going to do about this examination?” asked Bea- trix, suddenly. “Well, it’s hard telling. You know I’m , not much on mathematics,” answered Les- ter, his mind traveling back to the last ex- amination. “Of course, you'll pass, though; you always do. But by the way,” he added more hopefully, “Suppose you'll go with me to the basketball game a week from Friday night? It is to be a championship game between Lone Pine High and ours.” “On one condition.” “Well, let’s hear it.” “Tf you'll pass the coming geometry ex- amination, then I’ll go with you to the game. If you do not, I wont. That’s fair, isn’t it?” “T don’t know whether it is or not,” re- plied Lester doubtfully. “Y ou know you're such a shark at geometry, Trix, that such a proposition seems easy to you, but it dont to me.” “If you really want me to go, you'll work hard enough to pass the examination.” A week later, Lester and Beatrix filed into the geometry room with the others, to take the examination. Lester felt blue and dis- couraged. The professor entered the room and announced that he would give them but two examples, both of which would be re- quired. Trix felt doubly confident at that announcement and hoped Lester would be able to get them. She was rather sorry that she had made the bargain so severe, but was too proud to retract what she had said. The professor put the two examples on the board. Lester was able to work the sec- ond one immediately. He worked a long time on the first one and was unable to get it. He was about ready to give up, when he thought of an original method of his own. He was afraid it would not do, but he tried it as a last resource. He was still rather doubtful when he handed in his pa- per, but he had done better than he had ex- pected. Beatrix worked the first and most of the second, and was confident that she would pass all right. On the Thursday before the game, the professor addressed his geometry class. He told the pupils that among the examination papers, there were many poor ones. “Some of the pupils whom I expected to hand in very good papers, handed in poor ones, and a few who usually have poor papers, hand- ed in good ones. Lester Wallace worked the first example by an original method, which was exceptionally good and better than any of the others.” With this last statement, which surprised Lester so that he nearly jumped out of his seat, the professor passed out the papers. Lester then glanced triumphantly over at Trix, who, instead of answering his glance, was looking dismally at her own paper. “What in the world can be wrong with Trix? She’s surely glad that I passed,” was the thought that ran through Lester’s brain. As soon as class was dismissed he tried to see her in the hall, but failed. Lester was happy, except for one thing. He wondered what was wrong with Beatrix that she didn’t congratulate him. He wait- ed until evening without seeing her and then could stand the suspense no longer. He telephoned to her and asked if she were not going to congratulate him. “Are congratulations in order?” she ask- ed. “Certainly.” THE ECHO. “Then, I congratulate you,” she said, with little interest. “What the dickens is the matter with the girl,” he thought to himself. Then he con- ued over the ’phone: “By the way, what did you get in the examination?” “Seventy-two,” she answered, weakly. “Whe-ew!” he whistled. “That’s a shame. That’s as much a surprise to me as my pa- per was. I wish I could divide my percent with you. But then, you can afford to lose this time, because you usually get such good papers. You'll go to the game all right, won't you?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Why not?” “T’m too disgusted about my paper.” “Well, you’re going to make me suffer for your mistakes, are you? Remember the bar- gain you made.” “Well, I forgot to put into the bargain the condition, ‘if I didn’t pass.’ ” “Girls certainly do act queer sometimes,” said Lester to himself, as he turned from the ’phone. “Won’t keep her part of the bar gain, but makes me keep mine.” The next afternoon he met Beatrix in the hall. She seemed to be very happy. “What’s the meaning of all this mirth?” he asked. ‘Loan some of it to me, I feel as if I had lost my last friend.” Beatrix explained that they had just been to see the professor, and that he had made a mistake. Beatrix had received eighty-two per cent instead of seventy-two. Trix then turned toward Lester and asked: “Aren’t you going to congratulate me?” “Are congratulations in order?” he mim- icked. “If so, I congratulate you; and now how about the game?” “T have decided to go,’ she answered smilingly. The game that evening was very exciting. In the beginning, Lone Pine gained two points, and thus the score remained until the end of the first half. Then, just before time was called and amidst much cheering for Emeryville, Lester made the score even— two to two. During the intermission, Lester talked a few minutes with Trix. She told him he must make Emeryville win, since she had consented to come to the game. Lester promised to do his best. Lone Pine soon raised its score to six, dur- ing the second half. Then Emeryville was discouraged, and so was Lester. Lone Pine gained no more points, but Emeryville rais- ed her’s to five. Then the score stood six to five, and thus the game ended, with many cheers from Lone Pine. After the game Lester told Beatrix that he could have practiced more and Emery- ville might have won, if she hadn’t made that bargain about the geometry. Beatrix finally thought so, too, and ex- pressed her thoughts to Lester on their way home alter the game. “Well,” said Lester, as he bid Trix good- night, “Here is a riddle for you to answer— ‘Which is better, to lose your girl and the examination, or to lose the game?’ ” THE ECHO. THE LOST MINE A True Story of Our Own Pioneers By R. Talbot ’13. In the early days when the lust for gold brought thousands of emigrants to the coun- try in the hope of b ecoming rich, came the Hardin train, in 1852. It was about in the last stages of its jour- ney when it reached the Black Rock coun- try, in Nevada, on its way to California. Al- lan Hardin, who was a member of the train, decided to do a little hunting and incidental- ly have some fresh meat. He was a tall man, capable of covering a great deal of ground in a day. A couple of hours after he had left the train and had gotten well into his hunting trip, he saw some Indians, and knowing them to be hostile, he at once gave flight. When the Indians saw him he was some distance in the lead, but nevertheless they gave pursuit. As the chase grew warm, Al- lan discarded all the unnecessary articles of dress. As he was crossing a ledge he saw some stuff shining in the sun. There seem- ed to be great quantities of the rock. He picked up several pieces, but as they got burdensome, he was forced to throw away all but one, which was about the size of a bullet. This he dropped into his bullet pouch. The Indians go so close on him he was forced to throw away his gun. Finally he overtook the train after having traveled about twenty miles on the run. Nothing of interest happened to the party and they reached Sonoma county, where they settled down. His Indian adventure was discussed, but he never showed his specimen to anybody who knew much about silver ore, for gold was what the majority of the people mined. One day he showed a Dutchman the piece of what he took to be a curious rock. The Dutchman got Hardin to allow him to send it back to Germany and have it analyzed, and it proved to be al- most solid silver. He had thought to him- self that he could load wagons with the ma- terial. The news spread and two prominent men of Sonoma county organized an expedition, which was to locate this mine. The party consisted of fifteen men, equipped with all the necessary articles consisting of food, firearms and picks and shovels. They reach ed the Black Rock country after the usual amount of grumbling at having to wash the dishes. They met with no unusual experi- ences. Hardin showed them the two points, first, where he had left, and secondly, where he had caught up with the train and the terri- tory through which he had traveled as best his recollection would permit, but was un- able to show the exact place where he had found the specimens. While in search of the mine they found a curiosity in the way of a petrified tree. It was six hundred and - sixty-six feet long and sixty-six feet through at the base. There was no sign of any other trees less than forty miles away. The measurements were sworn to by the men who took them as being correct. It was found laying across a small stream. They were just beginning to get well into their search, when a messenger sent out from the nearest fort, warned them of an uprising of Apache Indians. They immed- iately pulled the stakes of their camp and set out for a country where there was less danger. One day while they were traveling two of the party got behind the main part of the company and were hurrying to catch up. Looking down the road one of the men saw a man get up from hehind a boulder and walk across the road. They had suspicions that a band of Indians had slipped in be- THE ECHO. SS TEE SN NN EN A LL LE tween them and intended to bag both parties and secure their horses and firearms. Then, when he had walked across the road there was no doubt in their minds but that it was Indians. Seeing no way of escape and knowing no mercy would be given, they determined to make resistance. According- ly, they got out behind the wagon, first care- fully loading the guns they had. Then, they drove slowly down the road. When they got to the rocks, instead of a battle as they had expected, one of their party was wait- ing to tell them to make greater effort to catch up, as they were in the danger line, Night came on, they pitched camp and stationed a man to guard. During the night he heard something creeping, and fearing it to be an Indian, he fired his shotgun, which was loaded with buckshot. For a while all was quiet. When he heard something come stalking up, he again fired. In the morning, when they investigated, they found it was a prospector and his mule he had killed. In looking over his pack for something to iden- tify hin, they found ore which was very rich and they felt certain that he had found the mine they were looking for. It was thought by them that he was creeping up to find out whether it was a camp of Indians or not. This sad accident cast a gloom over camp for days after. Soon after this, they reached the nearest fort, and the party broke up af- ter having been gone about fourteen months. They had seen a great deal of country and had gained only experience. Cattle were af- terwards herded over the country in hopes of finding it. But all efforts have proved unavailing. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Gray woearcy: The associated student body has develop- ed several prominent leaders along the vari- ous lines of school activities, and these in turn are exerting a good influence in bring- ing about a fine school spirit. Student body officers, managers of athletics, and captains of athletic teams are elected from members of the associated student body whose con- duct and influence stands for that which is best and highest in the school. All school activities are under the per- sonal supervision of members of the faculty. lt is the policy of the school to get as many students as possible interested in one or more branches of the student body activit- ies. Well-directed athletic contests produce strong physical bodies, and the students with strong physical bodies are the ones who are enabled to exercise greater mental activity. The High School paper affords an excel- lent opportunity for training in journalism. The annual literary contest and the annual debating contest, the Senior play, the or- chestra and the glee club are other activities which make school life attractive and worth while. The school exercises given on Wed- nesday morning of each week have brought forth some excellent talent. The programs are exceptionally interesting, and are very much appreciated by students and teachers alike. Collectively these activities afford an ex- cellent opportunity for the development oi those soc ial relations which prepares one for the more serious problems of life. They are all important factors in the development of character. They prepare for leadership. | | —— —e THE ECHO Published every school month in the inter- ests of the Santa Rosa High School.

First of all, there is the Senior play. We are promised a good time, and judging by our Christmas success, we shall not be dis- appointed. So now is the time to get in your good work with the paternal—you can work him up slowly. Then, ye men of muscle, never for an in- stant, lose sight of the fact that the annual class field-day will be held soon. No better opportunity for winning their spurs will be offered the Freshman. If you cannot win an “S” during your first year, try hard to pull your numerals out of the interclass. Train now, with that fact in mind. The green and white of 1911 will win the cup— that is inevitable—but do your best to keep its score as low as possible. The annual debate, with its silver trophy. is well worth winning. Go to the barn and practice oratory before the spiders. That is the way Daniel Webster acquired his skill. Last, and most important to those not engaged in athletics, will be the battle of pens between our many literateurs. The contestants are chosen by the principal and the English teachers from those students whose work in English is exceptionally praiseworthy or who are conspicuous for their literary ability, as shown by their work on The Echo. The prize, a silver cup, goes to the one who writes the best story, de- scription or poem. Therefore, we advise each of you to put a special effort into your English compositions and to favor the edi- tors with an occasional story. NOTICE Since The Echo is your paper, it is ex- pected that each of you will do your best to make it a success. The editors will appre- ciate your stories, articles, drawings, jokes, and anything of interest to High School students. Make your drawings in ink, on good draw- ing paper. The size is of no importance, as we can reduce or enlarge the drawings at will. To receive attention, your manuscripts must be flat—never rolled, always written in ink, and lengthwise on small, manil a paper, with the perforations on the left. This last device is not what it may seem—an “old maid’s’” whim—but an arrangement neces- sary to keep our valuable literary gems from getting lost in the linotype. Jokes should be submitted to one of the Josh editors ; stories to Laverne Sutherland, ‘and drawings to the editor. All material for the February number must be received by February 3.

The final league game, played at Benicia, resulting in the score of 13 to 8 in our fa- vor, decided the championship for Sonoma. Napa and Solano counties. On the evening of December 16, the girls won a victory, of which we are scarcely less proud than their winning of the champion ship. They defeated their old rivals from Healdsburg in an exciting game with the close score of 16 to 13. The team consisted of the following: Forwards, Ophelia Caldwell and Margaret Lonergan; centers, Ida Haynie (manager), Beryl LeBaron and Ethel Helman; guards, Mary Coleman and Lily Lewis (captain.) BOYS’ BASKETBALL In the evening of December 16, the boys’ team won a hard-fought battle from Analy High School, by a score of 17 to 22. On the same evening our second team de- feated the second team of Sweet’s Business College. The score was 9 to 4. Duncan (capt.), Norton, Hawkes, Jones, Oko and Milne, constituted the team. Healdsburg 6; S. R. H. S., 44. It’s “going some”—but we did it! On January 13, our first team defeated Healdsburg on her own court, by the score above mentioned. Our lineup- was as fol- follows: J. Wilson, L. Moore( manager), forwards; L. Merman, center; B. Merman, E. Wilson (captain), guards. Miss O’Meara (in Study Hall)—‘“No one can speak or move while I am in the study hall; but, of course, if I think that you are dying, I shall not be so unreasonable as to not let you get a drink of water. Mr. Jeffries (Eng. I.)—“Fidget, means to move. Now, who can give me a sentence with fidget in it?” t Agnes Vought—“Mr. Irwin’s store. is go- ing to fidget next week.” A regular meeting of the governing board was held on December 6th. The boys’ basketball team was given per- mission to play Analy the following Friday night. The football manager was given permis- sion to purchase a $3 football. Miss Smith, Miss Crane and Mr. McCon- nell were nominated for treasurer. Mr. Mc- Connell was elected. The girls’ basketball manager was allow- ed to buy a new basketball. The girls’ basketball team was allowed to play Healdsburg Friday, December 9, all of Healdsburg’s expenses to be defrayed by us. The track managed was authorized to buy a dozen block “S’s.” The admission to the basketball game was reduced to fifteen cents, for the Analy game. On December 7th a special meeting was held. The second team of the boys’ basket- ball was given permission to play a game of basketball with the second team of the Busi- ness College, Friday night, December 9. Miss Wylie’s resignation as treasurer was received and accepted. The Board of Education was given a vote of thanks for the help they had given us. At a special meeting, December 14, the girls’ basketball team was given permission to play Benicia and also to take a coach with them. The treasurer was allowed to pay $8.70 as extra expenses to the girls’ team at a meet- ing of the finance committee, December 15. The first regular meeting of the board for the spring term was held January 10, Pres- ident Ben Drake presiding. The manager’s reports for the November and December issues and the treasurer’s re- port for the term ending December 23, were accepted. The boys’ basketball team was given per- mission to play Healdsburg, Friday night December 13, Healdsburg to pay one-half car-fare and hotel expenses. On January 13 a meeting of the finance committee was held. It was decided that the regulations in regard to the expenditure of money be more closely adhered to in the future. The manager’s report for the recent High School entertainment was read, showing the net proceeds to be $130.90. Ss —- a — THE ECHO. SCHOOL NOTES After a vacation of two weeks, school again opened on Monday, January 9, with a large enrollment. The incoming class this term was very large, making it necessary to seat many in one of the class-rooms. To the entire Freshman class we extend a most hearty welcome, Those entering the High School for the first time are as follows: Otto Berger, Forrest Beebe, Florence Brown, Blanche Barrett, Marion Bogle, Allisio Bettini, Jnetta Cooper, Lawrence Chapman, Wesley Leroy, Myrna Ewing, Freada Feliz, Merle Gregory, Aubry Gale, Elizabeth Hendren, Enid Harris, Louise Hart, Henry Johnson, Earl Jones, Juliet Johnson, Chester Leard, Emma Martz, Geo. Mermann, Ruth McReynolds, Roscoe Mc- Cuistion, Alma McDaniel, Mathilda Nelson, Mabel Newman, Joe Pedrois, Chauncey Pet- erson, Mildred Rushmore, Stuart Roy, Mar- garet Ramusser, Robert Slyter, Bonnard Sullivan, Leo Noonan, Carl Steinnort, Dora Silver, Leah Spoonser, Lillian Seymour, -William Seymour, Agnes Vought, Martha Weigel, Roscoe Wallace, Mamie Wiley, Earl Young. Owing to the fact that Miss Mailer and Miss Wylie have been given a leave of ab- sence for the remainder of the year, we note some changes in the faculty. Miss Watson, of the University of California, has taken charge of the science department, and Mr, Jeffries, of Harvard University, is in- structor in English and History. A cement floor has been laid in the base- ment of the High School building, which is certainly a decided improvement. Many of the former S. R. H. S. graduates, now students of the State Normal schools. have returned to their work after the vaca- tion during the holidays. Miss Irene Norris and Miss Kathryn Smyth are among the new ones to enter the San Francisco Nor- mal. Among those who have returned are the following: San Francisco Normal—Miss Clara Ein- horn, Julia Saunders, Grace and Maud Hinz, Hilda Lawrence, Helen Thurston, Kathryn Smyth, Irene Norris and Ruth Smyth, San Jose Normal—Misses Gertrude King, Georgia Pursell, Eleanor Smith, Elsie Rick- ard, Mildred Petersen, Anna Voss. The High School entertainment which was given at the Columbia Theater on the evening of December 23, was a great suc- cess both in point of presentation and in at- tendance. The success of the evening’s en- tertainment was due to the faithful efforts of the students and teachers alike. By the time the doors opened every seat had been sold. The audience was an appreciative one, as was shown by its frequent and hear- ty applauses, which burst forth during both the cantata and minstrels. Students and patrons all, we thank you for the interest manifested in us, THE ECHO. EXCHANGES The beginning of a new term finds the exchange table well supplied with material for consideration. “Current Events” for December 2, pub- lished in Chicago, Ill., presents some excel- lent material, which in our estimation is most invaluable. You surely do contain a concise statement of the “current events.” “Ripples,” Cedar Falls, lowa: Why no table of contents? The arrangement of your material could be improved. The insertion of editorials first, gives the impression that you consider your other material as of but secondary importance. Your departments are all well edited. “The Alert,” Turlock, Cal.: You are an excellent paper. Some more well-made cuts would make your departments present a more wide-awake appearance. “The Skirmisher,’ St. Matthews School, Burlingame: You surely do your school and editorial staff credit. All your depart- ments are well taken care of. Your literary material is good. “The Nooz,” Emerson High School, Ste vens Point, Wis.: Your cuts are fine; your literary material and departments are good, but you spoil the whole appearance of your paper by careless arrangement. You have no table of contents; also too much adver- tising in the front pages. The same criti- cism as to editorials applies to your case, as to that of “Ripples.” “Wheat,” Ritzville, Wash.: Your ma- terial is good, arrangement fair. Your cuts are good. Why no table of contents? “The Adjutant,’ Mt. Tamalpias Military Academy: Your general appearance is very attractive. There is room for a great deal more good literary work. One story hardly balances so many fully written departments. “Keramos,” East Liverpool, Ohio: We find four pages well written ads in the front of your paper, but no table of contents. You stock cover is very neat. The article on “Oberamagau and the Passion Play” is most interesting. More cuts would be an im- provement. “The Toltec,’ Duranzo, Colorado: See criticism of “Ripples,” as to editorials. Your literary material and cuts are both good. “The Sentinel,” Harvard Military School, Los Angeles: Though your pages are few in number, they are well edited. “The Pioneer,” Newman Manual Train- ing School, New Orleans, La.: There lies before you the task of laying the foundation of a school activity, which will be either an influential factor in your school or a failure, depending largely upon the success of the first few issues. Though scant in quantity, your material is all right. You have the heartiest “best wishes” of The Echo for a successiul career. “The Lowell,” Lowell High School, San Francisco: Your Christmas Annual is the mose elaborate exchange received this month. However, your table of contents is missing. All your material, though in “A Lighter Vein,” is good. We enjoyed this issue immensely. The method of inserting photos was unique. j a ———— a ea ——- To you these jokes seem pretty slim, To us they are the same; But if you chance to write a few You'll find it’s not the easy game It is supposed to be.

Nona, have you a minute to spare? asked Ralph, bursting into the room where his sister sat writing. “To be sure, Ralph,” she said, pleasantly looking up from her letter, and continued mischievously, “and I think I can possibly squeeze out more than one minute, if you want me to real bad.” “Maybe it will take longer than one min- ute;” he said, “for I’m up against it.” “Your great troubles usually turn out to be trifles after they are deciphered,” she said. “Well, you. see, tonight,” he went on to explain, “I promised to bring the wagon around by Jim’s place after school and take a lot of the fellows out to Hanson’s woods to get some hickory nuts, before they’re all gone. Then, just before I started home from school, Dick told me to be sure to come over and practice football tonight, be- cause we play Parkerville tomorrow. Now, how am I to do both things at once?” “Why, I have the answer to that problem already!” said Nona. “Jim just came by a few minutes ago and told me to tell you not to bring the wagon over, because Mr. Hanson wont let any outsiders in his woods this year. He was out that way this morn- ing on his wheel, and there was a sign, ‘No Trespassing Allowed,’ on the gate.” “Well, that relieves me of one duty, but TY wonder what’s got into the old duck to make him act that way. We’ve gone out there every year for the last five years. I'll be home between five and six tonight, un- less we practice later than usual.” Ralph did have to practice rather late, so it was quite dark by the time he started home. As he was about to turn a dark cor- ner, he heard low voices. He caught a word which sounded interesting, so he stopped and listened. He soon recognized the voices as those of two of the roughest boys of the town. They were planning to invade Han- son’s woods with their gang, and get a good share of the nuts which Ralph’s bunch had planned to get. After they had set the day for the theft—a day when Mr. Hanson al- ways went to Parkersville, the adjoining town, to trade—Ralph continued thought- fully on his way home. Upon his arrival there he telephoned to Jim and told him to come over as soon as possible. The two boys held a secret meeting in Ralph’s room that evening. They emerged at length and for the next half hour kept the telephone busy, telling all of the boys of their bunch to meet them at an appointed time and place. After Jim had left, Nona asked her brother what he intended to do. He acted very mysteriously about it and would tell her nothing. The boys held their appointed meeting, at which Ralph and Jim unfolded their plan. The others were all very enthusiastic over it and promised to help. “Say, Sis, will you girls help us boys to get those nuts in Hanson’s woods?” asked THE ECHO. Ralph, several days after his consultation with Jim. Why, for mercy’s sake, how!” she ex- claimed. “Are you going to steal them?” “Steal them? No; nothing like that,” said Ralph, laughing. “But will you help us?” he asked again. “Of course,” he continued, “we could manage it alone, but we don't like the idea of preparing lunches.” “Preparing lunches! I do wish you'd tell me what you mean.” “You see,” he said, by way of explana- tion,” we’re going on a picnic day after to- morrow, and we will invite you girls, if you'll bring the lunch. That’s all.” “Well, that has nothing to do with get- ting nuts.” I think the girls will all be will- ing to prepare the lunch and go to the pic- nic. I’ll see them about it tomorrow. But how about the nuts?” “Never mind the nuts just now, but all be sure and come to the picnic,” he said, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. According to her promise, Nona saw her girl friends the next day and _ told them about the picnic. They were all delighted with the prospect of a picnic and readily promised to furnish all of the lunch neces- sary. However, they were all as mystified about the boys’ actions as was Nona, but could get nothing from them. The day for the picnic arrived. With a large farm wagon, all decorated for the oc- casion, Ralph drove around and gathered up the girls and boys. It was a fine autumn morning and they were all in good spirits. They soon passed Ralph’s home and were then in the open country. As they ap- proached Mr. Hanson’s place, the girls ex- pected something to happen. They were not surprised therefore, when Jim stood up in the front of the wagon and asked for their attention. “Now, everybody sing some lively song, and sing just as loud as you can,” he com- manded. Ralph immediately started one of their high school songs, and they all joined in. ‘The boys were looking anxiously to- ward the house, but no one was to be seen around the place. “There he is!’”’ exclaimed one of the boys, iust as the wagon had almost passed the place. Sure enough, around one corner of his house came the old man, looking intent- ly at the load of picnickers. The boys soon ceased their singing—and drove past the place, much to the girls’ surprise. For the picnic grounds the boys had chosen a pretty, shady nook close to the road, so that all passersby could be plainly seen. “He’ll see us here, all right,” said Ralph, after everyone had alighted and was exam- ining the picnic ground. “Who'll see us?” asked Nona. “Mr. Hanson. This is the day he always goes to town and he takes this road,” an- swered Ralph. “T can't understand why you're so anx- ious for him to see us,” said another girl. “Wait till tonight,” said Jim, grinning. “Maybe we'll get some of those hickory nuts yet, if everything goes right.” The picnic was an entire success, ,as they all pronounced it later, but the girls were so full of curiosity that they couldn’t keep their minds off of the nuts. While they were in the midst of an exciting game, Mr. Hanson drove along. Attracted by the noise, he looked over to see who they were. Then, seeming rather disturbed, he whip- ped up his horse and hurried into town. He made a hurried trip, for he soon passed again, going toward home. He gazed intent- ly among the trees to make sure whether or not the young people were still there. Along toward sundown, quite a while after he had passed them the last time, the boys propos- ed that they go home. So they all clamored into the wagon again. “Shall we sing again?” asked Nona, as they again approached Mr. Hanson’s place. “No, not this time,” said Ralph. “He’s out in his front-yard now,” THE ECHO. When they were opposite his gate, Mr Hanson suddenly looked up from his work and hailed them. As Ralph got down to see what he wanted, he winked at Jim. Mr. Hanson talked a few minutes with him and then he returned to the wagon, his face aglow with joy. “Mr. Hanson says we can have all of the nuts we want, so we'll drive around there now and get some before we go home, ” he explained to the girls’ surprise and the boys’ joy. “Let’s give three big cheers for Mr. Han- son,” suggested Jim. “Now—ready!” And, waiving their hats, they all joined heartily in the cheers. The old man lifted his hat in answer and smiled pleasantly as they drove off. “Do explain how this came about!” ex- claimed the girls, almost in one breath. “Tell ’em about it, Ralph,” said Jim. “I suppose you all know why he wouldn't let us or anyone else in his woods this year. He thought we broke a lot of his trees last year, when it was really that rough bunch, instead of us. One night I heard some of them planning to come out today to get a lot of the nuts, while Mr. Hanson was away. So we planned for this picnic on the same day. We wanted to attract his attention this morning, and then, when he went to town, he would see us again. Then, seeing us so near his premises, he would hurry back and perhaps catch those other fel- lows unawares, which discovery would prove their guilt and free us from his sus- picion. And that was just what happened. He told me that he got back in time to find them stealing nuts and breaking trees, and he had just seen us peaceably enjoying our- selves quite a way off. He then apologiz- ed for having had a wrong opinion of us and said we were welcome to all of the nuts we wanted.” The girls pronounced the boys’ plan a fine success, and immediately gave them three big cheers. HER COUNTRY COUSIN By Hazel Devoto Which proves that violets sometimes grow in the darkest corner of the garden AD news?” asked Irene, as Margaret threw on the bed the letter she had been reading. “Well, that’s what I'd like to call it. This letter is from a cousin whom I have never seen in all my life. She has in- vited herself to visit me for three weeks.” “Oh, what a shame to have someone spoil all our nice plans at the last moment,” broke in Irene, disgustedly. “When is she com- ing?” “That’s the trouble, she’s coming tomor- row. I suppose she will look terribly coun- trified, for I don’t think she has ever been here before. Imagine me going around in- troducing her to all the girls. Wont they laugh when they see me.” “And Jack Mills!” “Oh, I'll avoid him all right. I don’t be- lieve he would deign to notice me if he saw me with her. She’s just my age and her name is Florence. I only hope her looks equal her pretty name. Mother says her father has made a fortune as a farmer.” “Are you going to postpone your party, or will it come off anyway?” “T don’t know, that all depends on her wardrobe.” The Randalls were of a fashionable and popular set. Margaret was their only child. She belonged to a club of girls who had THE ECHO. planned all sorts of good times for vacation, so Margaret and her chum, Irene, thinking that the country girl was coming to the city with the intention of “sightseeing,” and that Margaret would have to act as guide, were not very well pleased with the idea of someone interfering with their plans. The following morning, Margaret, while out for a walk, met Jack Mills. As he was going in the same direction, they walked together. After speaking of several differ ent things, the subject turned to trains. Then Jack broke in: “Speaking of trains reminds me that I must go to meet a friend who comes in on one of the last trains this afternoon. She wrote to me, saying that she was coming today for a visit with rela- tives; so I thought I might as well go to the depot and meet her, although I suppose her relatives will be there, too. I want you to meet her, as I feel sure you will like her. She is a very sweet and attractive girl.” It was a quarter to five that afternoon when Margaret jumped into the carriage to meet “the quarter to five train.” She knew she was late and ordered the driver to hur- ry. Ina few minutes she arrived at the sta- tion and alighting from the carriage, looked around for the object of her troubles, which she expected to see in the form of a quite countrified looking girl. Seeing no one but Jack Mills and his friend, she decided to walk over to him. Just as she turned around to do so, he called, “Looking for someone?” “Yes, but I guess she didn’t come,” she ansewered in almost a joyous tone. She walked over to him, secretly admiring his friend. The result was quite astonishing. Margaret’s face wore the look of dumb surprise. Jack introduced her. “Then you’re my cousin,” she finally man- aged to say. “T guess I must be,” laughed Florence, who was equally surprised. “I thought you had forgotten me and I had almost decided to go back.” “Tsn’t it funny that she’s your friend al- so?” said Margaret, turning to Jack. “Yes, and quite fortunate,’ he answered. “T never for a moment thought she was your cousin.” Margaret certainly had good cause to be surprised after the way she had pictured her cousin. The girl standing before her had what most people would call beauty. Far prettier than any of Margaret’s friends and as well dressed as the most fashionable. Her clothes were of the latest style and very becoming. Margaret had noticed this at the first glance. Jack accompanied the two girls home and on the way noticed that Margaret was in one of the happiest moods he had ever seen her. On reaching home she sat down and wrote this short message to Irene: “The party by all means.” She didn’t have time to write any more and knew that Irene would understand what she meant, ok Ed ok One evening, agout a week after I had seen Margaret Randall alight from a car- riage at the depot, while I was passing the Randall residence, I turned toward the win- dow of their reception hall. The sight that confronted me made me stop for a moment. It was one of the prettiest scenes I had ever seen, evidently a party. The room was beautifully decorated and the pretty evening dresses of the girls added to the effect. But what took my eye first of all, was quite a large group of girls and boys standing apart from the rest. The center of attraction, the prettiest of all, was gowned in a beautiful creation of white satin. By just looking at their faces I could tell that they were ad- miring her. I was, myself, and had good cause to be. Her face was all wreathed in smiles as a young man, whom I had known to be Jack Mills, came over and claimed the first dance. THE ECHO. COD FISHING IN CALIFORNIA First Experience Eimer L. Fresher T was last year, about the middle of July, when I went to Santa Cruz. The first thing of interest to me was the fishing wharf. I strolled out on the wharf to see what the men were doing. It was about eight o’clock in the morning, and they were taking the fish upon the wharf from their boats. It was certainly an interesting sight. The fish were mostly sea-bass, but I learned that the fishermen would soon be catching rock-cod. SSW) y I went down to the wharf almost every day for about two weeks. I had now began to think that I would like to go with them, because I thought it would be still more interesting to see them take the fish from their nets into the boat: but I did not know how I was ever going to get to do such a thing. One day I was down at the wharf help- ing one of the fishermen bait his rock-cod hooks, when he asked me if I didn’t want to go with him the next morning, because the boy that had been going with him and rowing the boat, was now sick. I told him that I would be glad to do so. Next morning I was up bright and early, reaching the wharf about six o’clock. We got our things into the boat and started off on the calm water—the water is generally very calm in the morning, because there is no wind blowing, but the big swells are there just the same, as well as a thick fog. We rowed out to the kelp, nearly one mile from the wharf, and started to put out our lines. Now, perhaps, I had better ex- plain how the catch rock-cod before I go any farther into the story. They have a long cord to which are fastened hooks about three feet apart. These hooks are fastened on to the long cord by smaller pieces of cord, so that they hang down about a foot and a half. The hooks are baited with salted sardines, and as they are baited, the long cord is coiled up in the center of a plate- shaped basket, with the hooks stuck in around the edge. The hooks are let down near the rocks, where the rock-cod stay, to whatever distance the rocks may be from the surface. On this particular case we let our hooks down three hundred feet. In put- ting the lines out, the basket is placed on the rear end of the boat, and as the boat is rowed along it uncoiles with very little trouble. There is a small rope fastened to the cord on which the hooks are tied, and running to the surface to which is fastened an empty keg or large piece of cork, so that you may easily tell where the lines are set. We soon put out our three lines, joining one to the other, and were floating around near by. Now, it is all right as long as the boat is moving, but as soon as we stopped rowing my constitution began to feel queer; very queer. I knew what was going to happen, but I didn’t say anything, although I would have liked to have asked him to go home. But before anything did happen, he asked me if I did not want to row around and see if we couldn’t catch a salmon. I gladly accepted the invitation. We rowed around for about fifteen minutes, but did not catch anything, so he decided to take up the rock-cod lines. In taking up the lines the boat must be rowed very slowly, in order to give the per- son tending the lines time enough to take off the fish and coil the cord roughly. This rowing the boat slowly was that which “got me.” We had not taken up much of our line, when I began to feel awfully sick. I would have given anything to have been on THE ECHO. land again; there was land so near and yet so far. I never did think so much of land before in all my life. By the time we were about half through taking up our lines I felt as though I would surely die. Oh, I was sick! I certainly fed the fishes. I was so sick that I wished he would throw me overboard—lI felt as if I did not have enough strength to fall out for myself. I rowed the boat in every direction, but I could not help it, because I saw land on all sides of me. We finally got our lines and started home. 1 revived somewhat on the way to the wharf, which we soon reached, and I climb- ed up the ladder to get a fish basket. The wharf seemed to be rocking worse than the boat, but after falling into a fish-basket and skinning my elbow, I finally managed to find one, so we hauled up our fish. We caught about fifty small ones. I took two of them and started home, still feeling some- what queer. By the time I had reached home—for I had nearly two miles to walk, and the experi- ence through which I had passed that morn- ing, made me feel as though I could eat all the fish we had caught. I certainly did eat a big dinner—but never again. THE DAYS OF THE FORTY-NINERS Tru: Episodes of Early California. By R. Talbot ’13 ENRY WILLIAMS was fi one of the popular young men in the community in fi which he lived. He had gained his popularity S through his ability to sing and amuse people. It was with great repret that the community learned he was going to leave. He went into Piumas county and lo- cated a claim on Feather river. As placer mining was the only kind of mining carried on to any great extent, it was necessary to locate it near a suitable stream of running water. On his claim he built a, cabin and stocked it with the usual amount of provis- ions, which consisted of bacon, beans, flour and coffee. Being anxious to get to work, he devised a plan by which to wash out the gold. He did not make a large amount of money, but made good wages. There were a number of claims near his and consequently lots of miners . One day one of them proposed a_ bear hunt. Bear hunting was considered very exciting sport. They would also get a lit- tle fresh meat at a time when any kind of meat tasted delicious after eating salted ba- con day after day—although bear meat is as tough as leather. Accordingly, a party of the miners got to- gether. They were to go off on a day’s journey and get well into the mountains. After having traveled all day in a wagon without springs, over a rough road, they were glad to make camp. They cooked a big supper and everybody ate heartily. Af- ter everything was done for the night they pulled out their pipes and began to tell stor- ies of their adventures. Henry, who was rather green, listened until he feared any moment that a bear might come lumbering out from behind some tree. Finally, when each one had exhausted his stock of yarns and could think of nothing which his companions would be- lieve, they hurried into bed. Everything was quiet except for some of the sleepers who made much noise snoring. In the night they heard something grunt Everyone awoke in an out in the brush. THE ECHO. errr ere instant and seized his gun. All those who had been on a hunt before declared that it was a bear. Accordingly, they scattered out through the brush so as to prevent its es- cape. They were gone for about an hour. On returning they found it was an old hog that they had heard. This was the worst part of the episode. The hog had slipped in while they were gone, had overturned the “grub-box” and had eaten everything in sight. There were a great many Chinamen who had claims near his. They were industrious and attended strictly to business. times he would talk to them, but when they thought he had talked long enough or he Some- wanted to know something they did not care to tell they would say, “Me no saby,” and that would be all he could “pump” out of them. One day there was a large rain, which re- sulted in a flood. He was standing in the door of his cabin watching the logs and cabins of miners floating by. Pretty soon, a large log came floating down in the middle of the stream with a Chinaman on it. He shouted out to the Chinaman, saying, “John, where are you going?” The Chinaman an- swered, “Me no saby.” For once, he said, he thought the Chinaman was telling the truth, CALIFORNIA VICTORIOUS By Mildred Downing The time of our waiting is over, The time of rejoicing is come; We hail the bright flag of our city, Our city, the conquering one. California, the land of the eagle, The land of the sunshine and flowers; Rejoice with us, birds, buds, and blossoms, For the joy of our city is ours. We care not for fears once foreboding, We care not for projects though vast; As long as our city has won them, The laurels are worth all the past. We'll reap a rich harvest of glory, Our hearts, oh, how proudly they’ll swell, When the Fair shall proclaim in 1915, The opening of our canal. We'll hie to you city of beauty, Where the Golden Gate opens to the sun, And we'll see with our own eyes the reason Why our city’s the conquering one.

WHAT THE EDITORS THINK It is our firm belief that each student in the High School should contribute toward the success of the High School journal. Not only because it is his duty, but be- cause The Echo is the one activity in which the departments are so various and general as to include possibilities for all classes of students. We cannot all be athletes, but everyone of us can write either a story, an article, a joke, or draw a picture. Moreover, it is the only activity—with the exception of debating—that affords a practical training that can be used after graduation. Very few will be professional athletes, but all of us will need the English language. Our success in life will depend wery largely upon our ability to use it; the degree of proficiency in using it will depend largely upon practice during this, the far- mative, habit-producing period of our lives. The following statement of editorial needs will give you an opportunity of selecting the form of work most compatible with your ability and consistent with your desires. WE WANT SHORT STORIES! A short story is a—short story, with em- phasis on the short. The essential thing about your short stories is that they must be short stories. We consider a manuscript of over eighteen hundred words as a serial or novelette. Omit all fine passages, unnec- essary words, superfluous characters. Were it not a breach of the confidence placed in us, we could tell you of many a story so abridged that the very authors could scerce- ly recognize it. They may be either im- aginary or of actual happenings, but they must be original. WE WANT ARTICLES! By “articles,” we mean original descrip- tions of industries, institutions, noted places, persons, or things, or of the beauties of na- ture, your opinions, and anything of inter- est first, to—the students of the Santa Rosa High School, and secondly, to our readers in general. The Echo is published in the interest of our school—not for the benefit of critics or exchanges. An article should consist of from three hundred to twelve hun- dred words. WE WANT DRAWINGS! Cover designs, department headings, and cartoons are used. WE WANT JOKES! The members of the Josn department are, in many respects, the hardest worked. toil- ers of our staff. Original material is hard to get. We will appreciate original jokes that have some foundation. Never let a class-room joke escape your pencil. Get a good one on your friend—or enemy—and keep him guessing. Use the “josh box” on the southern wall of the study hall. WE WANT SUBSCRIPTIONS! Subscriptions should be from fifty to sev- enty-five cents. No limit as to number. Necessary to keep the printers from starva- tion. Consult the manager. Training has begun in earnest and there is a promising bunch of athletes on the track. The husky veterans who made last term’s fine record are still with us, and in many cases are exceeding their former rec- ords. Ben Drake, “the king of the ham- mer,” has already heaved the sphere out 150 feet, which is 11% inches farther than he threw it when he smashed the record iast season in the S. N. S.C. A. L. Sucha performance at the very outset of the train- ing season is nothing short of marvelous, and it gives us pretty strong assurance of some phenomenal record in the future. Now, we would like to ask of the school that they come out on the track during their spare moments and encourage the ath- letes in their work. Discuss the points of the different fellows, offer suggestions, and take a live interest in the work the boys are doing. In this way you will become ac- quainted with the merit and style of every fellow ; and when you climb into the bleach- ers on the eventful day of the contest, you will know just what sort of a performance to expect from each fellow. Among the “vets” from whom we expect good work are the following: Wilson (manager), sprints, relay; Will Lambert (captain), pole vault, shot put; Pederson, pole, high jump; McIntosh, sprints, broad jump; Cochrane, quarter, relay, broad jump; Weeks, hurdles, shot put; Gore, hurdles, high jump; Clark, quarter, relay; Snyder, distance; Talbot, distance, Mermann, high jump; Drake, hammer throw, discus; King, hammer throw. Bettini, Lingenfelter, England, Mills, McPeak, Buttimer, Slyter and Maroni are among the “comers” now at work. Mr. Steele is back “on the job” doing his best to make a winning team out of the thirt y or more aspirants for athletic honors. We are unfortunate in losing “Skip” from the list of point winners. The injury re- ceived by him at the last season robs us of one of our best sprinters and broad jumpers. A special meeting of the Governing Board was held January 109. A motion was passed to the effect that the Mothers’ Club be given complete con- trol of the Freshman reception, providing they meet any resulting deficit and select a time that would not interfere with any other school activity. The boys’ basketball team was given per- mission to play Petaluma in Santa Rosa, Friday night, January 27. The S. N.S. C. A. L. delegate was grant- ed expenses to Napa. The treasurer’s report was accepted. On January 24 a regular meeting was held. Earl Young, Forrest Beebe, Oliver Berger and Alessio Bettini were nominated for first term representative. Oliver Berger was elected. At the regular meeting on January 31, a communication from the A. A. L. was read, asking for a monetary donation to help meet the present deficit. The A. A. L. was granted $5, with the provision that all medals won by our track team be forthcoming. The manager of The Echo was granted $5 for each of the last two issues of last term, at a meeting of the finance committee held on January 31. A special meeting of the Board was held February 3. Bruce Merman, Lester Merman, Jesse Wilson and Lawrence Moore were granted bee The boys’ basketball team was given per- mission to play Lakeport in that town on February 11. Mr. Steele was granted his fare to and irom Lakeport, as an official. The First Socialist “You can’t keep a good man down.”— Jonah’s Whale. Who Has It? Front board, in the study hall.

SOCIAL NOTES The reception tendered the Freshmen on the evening of February 3 proved to be a decided success. Through the efforts of the Mothers’ Club, as well as a committee ap- pointed from the Student Body, a splendid program was arranged, after which dancing was indulged in until eleven-thirty, while games were provided for those who did not care to join in the dance. Refreshments provided by the mothers, were served throughout the evening. The following program was rendered: PeleCHOR.

Miss Ophelia Caldwell, a former student of t he High School, is now attending Mc- Means’ Normal. Great interest is being shown in the class play, which is to be given sometime during April, as rehearsals are taking place every week at the High School. Prof. Harry B. Torrey, the examiner of the University of California, spent Friday, February 10, at the High School, visiting the various departments and inspecting the work that is being done. He complimented the faculty on the excellent work that is be- ing done in the school, and spoke of the spirit of industry and cheerfulness shown by the students and the excellent work be- ing done by them. At the close of school Professor Torrey gave an interesting ad- dress on “Student Organizations,” which was highly appreciated. Miss Irene Mize, the efficient librarian at the High School, met with a painful acci- dent one evening ‘ast week while cleaning pair of gloves with gasoline. Before re- moving the gloves from her hands, after cleaning, Miss Mize’s attention was direct- ed to a kettle over the burning gas and in her haste to turn down the flame the gloves ignited. She was severely burned about the hands and wrists and also suffered some inconveniences about the face. The acci- dent caused Miss Mize to be away from the library for a day. The students of the High School gave an interesting program Monday morning in commemoration of the birthday annivarsary of Abraham Lincoln. The numbers were all well rendered. Many former students and several patrons of the school attended the exercises. The following program was given: P¥anro Golgevis, its es or.

SSS SSS SSS THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Jefferis; we are now in possession of a very much-need- ed acquisition to our school. The recent rehearsals after school and the numbers played before the student body are proof of its excellence. The orchastra is now a school activity such as the High School paper or athletics. Only members of the Associated Student Body can participate in its functions. It can be used to advantage at High School entertainments and other events. It now consists of the following mem- bers: First violin, Walton Hastings; sec- ond violin, Lester Smith; first cornet, Ros- coe Wallace; second cornet, Hugo Hadrich; piano, Weston Anderson; leader, J. W. Jef- feris, flute. Forrest Beebe has consented to play the drums, Raegan Talbot, the clarionet, and Jesse Lingenfelter, the trombone, which ad- ditions will make it complete, with the ex- ception of another violin or two. Let us all work together to build up our orchestra and assist it in every way possible. THE PRIZE CUP By Florence Brown O silver cup, I love thee, If only thou were made for me! A poetess I’m not at all, For Cupid never makes a call. You'd have to sing of Frisco’s fame, But poesy is not my game; I’d laud the city and the state, But not in verse,—it’s not my fate. Pretty words and even metor, Someone says will swiftly beat ‘er; Someone’s right—I’m picked to lose, When too late—may come my muse. O silver cup, I long for thee, If only thou were made for me; A poetess I’m not at all, For Cupid never made a call, THE ECHO. EXCHANGES We welcome to our exchange department all of our old visitors, and extend a hearty invitation to all new friends to come again. The exchanges received this month have been exceptionally good, and a credit to their respective sources. “The Tatler,’ North Division, Milwaukee, Wis.: A thoroughly live paper, well ar- ranged and material up to standard. Heav- ier cuts would liven your pages greatly. “The Alpha,” Oroville; Cal.; We have enjoyed your paper immensely. Too much space is devoted to joshes. Keep the stan- dard of your paper above a “funny paper.” Your literary material is abundant and good. “Crimson and Gold,” Colton, Cal.:Your Souvenir edition is an excellent number and unique in its makeup. “Orestimba,” Newman, Cal.: A neat little paper, well arranged. Your material is - good. Use more cuts. Your pages look too bare. “Angelos,” New Orleans, La. You need more literary material. You also have the material on the last few pages badly jum- bled together. Your material is all good. “The Sotoyoman” Your material de- serves a better medium of presentation. We would recommend a change in printing es- tablishments. Your departments though short, are well written, and indicate the right spirit. “Tlex,” Woodland, Cal.: An excellent pa- per. Too much space is given to ads. The use of more cuts would improve your ap- pearance, “The Wilmerding Life,” San Francisco, Cal.: Your December issue is a good num- ber. The stories are well written. Your arrangement is also good. “The Comet,” Milwaukee, Wis.: Your December issue came too late for consider- ation last term, so we consider it in con- junction with the January issue. Both numbers are without a table of contents. Ads claim the first four pages, which right- fully belongs to the literary department. Your material is good, but poorly arranged. “The Oasis,” Reno, Nevada: Why don’t you grow? “The Oasis” is “rich” as far as it g oes. It the desert so confining as to limit you to such bounds? “The Searchlight,” San Rafael, Cal.: The December issue is an excellent one, and a credit to the editors and the school. Your editorials are well written. “Napanee,” Napa, Cal.: The Christmas number is an excellent one, and it gives us much pleasure to read your pages. Some of your editorials are fine. In general, your arrangement is good. “Polytechnic Journal,’ San Luis Obispo, Cal.: A neat little paper. Yiour arrange- ment is good. You should use larger cuts, and a table of contents. “The Pohob,” Elko, Nev.: You contain some good material, but it is not arranged to the best advantage. We suggest that editorials follow the literary department, You also need department cuts. Chemistry re Object, To illustrate chemical change. Second. Apparatus.

NE cold winter evening, all the girls at the Sorority House who were not studying, decided to go down to Leila Baxter’s . room, to toast marshmal- Psy Ae lows, for her room was the only one in the house which had a fire-place, and therefore was a source of envy for all the lower class- men, only the Senior girls being allowed the privilege of occupying this room. On this particular evening, Leila’s room- mate was out, so seven or eight of us took advantage of this fact, and we all filed down to her room in our kimonos, each carrying one or two cushions and a hat pin. Rather a sleepy “come in,” greeted our knock on the door, and we all scrambled in, to find Leila curled up in a big arm chair, a magazine in her lap, gazing into the fire. “Hello Lee! What you doing; building castles?” “Come on, girls; make yourselves comfy if you can: I’m to lazy to move—Marshmal- lows? Oh joy! I’ve been aching for some. Hand me a hat pin someone, will you?” With this we all curled up around the fire, and each armed with a hat pin with a marshmallow at the end of it, began taost- ing our sweets, and incidentally our faces. “Now for a story!” somebody cried; and immediately Leila said: “Say, girls, I’ve got a dandy! I’ve been reading a story, “lhe Portrait in the Hid Room.’ I guess most of you have read it—it’s spooky, you know, and in some ways it makes me think of a story my mother told us some time ago. This story of ‘The Portrait in the Hid Room’ contains a mys- tery which isn’t cleared up or explained, and the tale I shall tell you also has a mystery, but it is explained. Do you want it? It’s a true one.” Leila always was a good story-teller, so we all were eager for her to begin. This is the story she told: “You perhaps know, girls, that a great uncle of mine was a sculptor. He owned quite an extensive estate in England, but never married, always declaring he was wedded to his work, and he certainly seem- ed to be, for he scarcely left the estate, and very few people ever visited him. No one knew quite what he did with his marble statues, for he never sold them or gave them away, and yet he was always at work in his den upon them, as his servants often said. He at one time hinted at a new inven- tion which he was working upon, ,but would never tell what it was and no one was al- lowed in his den at any time. “When uncle died, at a very old age, the estate came to my great aunt, his youngest sister, and she went to reside there soon after his death. “The strange thing was that very few traces of his work could be found—only a THE ECHO. RE few things in his den, which were inferior pieces, and even the servants knew nothing of what had become of his work. “This, of course, was very mystifying, and bade fair to never be cleared up, until, quite by accident, my mother, who, with her younger sister, was then visiting my aunt, in reading one of the old books in the li- brary, found a slip of paper, dated a few days before the death of my uncle, bearing the words, ‘All can be found in the Spring House.’ “The Spring House! Where was the Spring House, and what was it? No one seenied to know of such a place, and so the servants were questioned. At last one old. eray-haired man, who had been in uncle’s service from boyhood, when questioned about the Spring House, paled, and shook like a leaf, telling us that it was a house of spirits in the middle of the woods on the estate. He had seen ghosts moving in the house one night as he was coming home late through the woods, he said. The old man could tell them no more for he had been too frightened to go near the place again, but when he was questioned as to the loca- tion of the house they gathered that it was in the middle of the wood at the head of a small stream, and one could reach it by fol- lowing the stream. Naturally this story made everyone curious; my mother and sis- ter—girls at that time—being especially ex- cited over it and anxious to go there at once. My great aunt, however, thought it would be wise to make up a large party so that the girls would not be frightened at any- thing unnatural. “Accordingly, she got up a house-party, and one moonlight night, a party of eight, four young men and four girls, started out to solve the mystery. Each of the party was provided with a candle and matches, and they were glad of them for the woods were very gloomy and everything appeared weiry and uncanny. “As they neared the lonely house their boisterous spirits began to lag—for the house certainly appeared as if haunted, its bleak windows like two great eyes watching the intruders as they came up. Mother, however, who had been very anxious all along to solve the mystery, declared that she was not afraid, and forthwith marched up to the door and attempted to open it. The door did not respond to her push and so the others came up to help her. Suddenly it flew open and two of the girls, my mother and one other, fell flat on their faces upon the floor of the room. Only two candles were alight by that time and by their flick- ering light the young people beheld a blood- curdling sight. In the middle of the room were the figures of two men, one in the act of stabbing the other. “With a cry, the girls drew back, and as they did so the figures in the room moved. “Tt moves!’ they all cried—and so it did —the arm with the up-raised knife came down upon the throat of its victim and rais- ed again as if to strike another blow. An awful groan followed. The girls were panic stricken and rushed from the terrible place, closely followed by the boys, and all reached home in short order in a hysterical state; some of the girls nearly crazed with terror. “But the mystery was not yet solved; in fact, it was much more complicated than ever before, and no one was anxious to re- visit the haunted house to unravel the af- fair. However, the news of this exploit soon spread and a body of twelve men finally de- cided to brave the terrors of the Spring House in the day time. And this is the ex- planation: “All of uncle’s statuary he had placed in this lonely house and in them he had made use of his invention. He had devised a way of making his statues act out whatever they were supposed to be doing by machinery. The mechanism which worked this machin- ery was connected by springs, underneath certain boards in the floor, and when these THE ECHO. . F : ; ; Me boards were stepped on the figures, of course, moved. “When the girls, on that evening, fell for- ward on the floor they pressed the board under which was the spring which worked this gruesome piece of statuary. The groan was caused by the rusty machinery. “Come, girls; let’s go and visit the old Spring House!’ “No thanks; not tonight 1”? STOPPING THE REDS AT DEAD MAN’S CROSSING By Bruce Mermann. (¥3 HE old puncher filled his pipe and told us his fa- vorite story, which I give just as I heard it. “Hello,” cried Bill, as he tang, and started to unload his saddle. “Hello,” I replied, “What’s up?” I had noticed, when I first saw him come into sight over Diamond Ridge, that he had a larger load on his saddle than usual. “Well, old Lone Wolf is out again and will be here before we'll have time to give him a warm reception, I’m thinkin’.” To see Bill unloading his saddle, you would have thought that mustang would be pulled off its feet. He was soon through and then asked me what my plan was. I knew that if I let him have his way he would stand out and dare old Lone Wolf himself to shoot at him; so I told him to go over to the Tripple Bar ranch and get the four punchers over there and we would stop them Reds at Deadman’s Crossing or go hungry for a week. Bill didn’t like those last words at all, so was ready for anything. He jumped on to my mustang which was standing there and was off like a shot. I had taken the bridle off of Thundergust, which was my mus- tang’s name, when I had turned him loose, but old Bill didn’t even know it till he was half way to the Butcher Knife, which was a ridge about two miles from our palace. The Tripple Bar ranch was a mile away, so I thought I’d fix up a bit and get our hard- ware out while he was gone. I jerked on my forty-dollar pair,of chaps and got out the hardware. We had come here to raise cattle, but we knew there were Reds about, so had quite a large stock of ornaments, such at Winchesters, Colts, and a large stock of ammunition. I slipped two revolv- ers into the holsters at my side and got down two hunting knives. We had eight cartridge belts, which we had won in trades at the post. I got three and filled them for myself, and filled the rest for Bill, to take his pick out of. He was always a great hand to hang everything on himself when he heard of the Reds. It wasn’t long before I heard hiin telling me to come out and bring some of his stuff. He got fixed up in about two shakes and we were off. Only two of the fellows at Tripple Bar were home. The other two had gone hunt- ing, off after a bunch of cattle. Bill had left a note where they could find it, telling them to come quick. It was about three miles to Deadman’s Crossing, and we were soon there. We took our mustangs down stream a bit and tied them. Then we start- ed to hunt good places to bombard the Reds from. After looking about a few minutes we had two good places picked out where the Reds would pass. Bill and Jimmy took a place behind two big trees, with boulders piled all around them. Lariat Pete and I THE ECHO. found another place which was formed something like a trench. It was about seven feet long and five feet deep. Lariat Pete and I stayed in our place of concealment a few minutes, and Pete said, “Aw, let’s go up and see if we can see any- thing coming.” So we cautiously mounted the ridge and looked over. We looked all over but could see nothing. We must have lain there fifteen minutes scanning the plains with a glass, when the sharp report of a rifle was heard behind us and a bullet went whizzing by. We sprang up and ducked over the ridge, settling down on the other side. I found a bullet hole in my new chaps, and that raised my temper to one hundred and twenty-three degrees above sneezing (cussing) point. As we settled down on the other side of the right we saw how we had been fooled. Coming up the ridge were four of the Injuns on our mus- tags, riding as hard as they could. I threw my rifle to iny shoulder and let drive at the nearest. He dropped from my saddle and fell to the ground, feet first, but sank down in a heap. The other three were soon put off our horses, and we lay there watching until reports of rifles were heard in the creek bed. We jumped up and were just starting to run for the brush where the Reds had come out, when the first Red I had shot, raised his gun and fired. The bullet went by, taking the lower part of Pete’s ear with it. I tet drive again and he went over, all stretched out this time. Our ponies were put to flight by the firing, and so we made for the trees a little above, where it sounded like Bill and Jimmy were getting their’s. We were seen coming and a few shots were sent somewhere in our hemisphere, but we didn’t wait to see how close. We made for the other side of the creek as fast as we could. Pete stopped to wash the blood from his ear, and we hid in the brush just at the edge of the water. We hadn’t been there two minutes before we heard a splash down the creek about four rods. I peeked out and saw three Reds standing in the water, looking up and down stream. ‘lhe firing had stopped altogether down stream now and we could hear every- thing. “Here, Pete, them’s too good shots to let go,” I said. So I raised my rifle and fired. There were seven in the stream by this time. I aimed at the one who was just leaving the short. I got six of them before they could get anywhere near shore, but the seventh one got away. We lay there listening, and began to think there were only a few Reds in the bunch, when just at that moment we heard the fiercest war cry that has ever been given. It almost deafened us. With it, about two hun- dred Reds started across the creek just above us. Pete hollered, ‘Don’t shoot; let’s run.” So we started down the creek with the speed of so many bullets. We were mak- ing straight for the place where we thought our trench was, when we saw two heads peek up and shout, “This way, for your lives!” We fell in just as the bullets start- ed to whirl. We found Bill and Jimmy and the other two punchers all in our trench. They had come while we had held the Reds up stream. We started firing at the pack just breaking into view, and you bet we made a big hole in them the first thing. It looked as if they would not stop at all; but as soon as we got into them with a revolver in each hand they got a hunch that to get behind a tree wouldn’t be a bad idea; so they made for the nearest ones. The next thing they started to do was to surround us. There were trees all around us stationed somewhere between five and ten feet apart. Bill had a certain tree on his side that had saved him from a pack of wolves. “If one o’ them painted devils gets past my old wolf-tree, I'll go out and de- liberately cut him head off!’ The first one that tried it, fell before he had hardly taken one step. I saw one peek- eS THE ECHO. ing around a tree and let drive, and he went over. Three more tried it at one time, on Bill’s side, and he only got two; the third managed to get to his tree. I heard Bill mutter, “You aint past that tree yit. Just poke your bloomin’ nose out and it will be minus a head.’ He had no more than fin- ished when the Red started. His whole body hadn’t left the tree before Bill got him. We then waited quite awhile, only getting a shot once in a while. We had begun to think they had almost left, when we heard that awful war whoop again; and the woods seemed to be all moving towards us. They were making the final rush to finish us. On they came—a yelling, shooting, painted band of demons. Near and nearer they came, until, as Bill put it, “It looked like our shalps wasn’t worth a breath in a cyclone.” Just as they were about three rods from the trench something happened. Bill and Jimmy had nothing to do while we were scanning the plains, so they had rolled a large log up to the trench and had fixed their lariates about it so that it could be pulled over the trench. Bill shouted, “All heads down,” and the log rolled into place. Then another queer thing happened, which saved our scalps. As I was kneeling down, I poked my foot through the dirt at the side. I made the hole bigger, and just then the Reds cut one French P.—Why, Freshie, why are you so thin? Douglas—I—er—I take my lunch in the basement. Miss Crane—Half the world doesn’t know how the other half lives. Miss Leddy—I think you over estimate. the number of people who mind their own business. of the ropes, and I knew they wolud be in upon us in no time. “Follow me,” I shout- ed; and I plunged through, going, I knew not where. But I had no more than gotten through than I found myself in a sort of cave, probably washed out by the water. The rest tumbled in just as the log was lift- ed up. Then, say, if you ever saw a bewildered bunch of Reds, those outside was some. They had expected six scalps out of that trench, and there wasn’t a one to be seen. But they noticed the hole at the side and another yell went up. They started piling in and we turned loose the fireworks. About six fell in the trench, but the others just kept coming. But at that minute the rest of the pack broke and fled, to the surprise of all. Then we heard more shooting outside, and we climbed out over the dead bodies. There we saw a company of United States scouts rounding the Reds up. Well, to make a long story short, the Reds were captured and driven back to the reservation, and we were taken to army headquarters and given a reception that would have made the king of England, Scotland and Wales slide on his ear with paralysis and St. Vitus dance. That, gentleman, is the story of how we stopped the Reds at Deadman’s Crossing. Whose deal? When Diamonds Are Trumps Miss Watson (Physical Geo.)—Give me the name of the largest known diamond.

RATTLE-SNAKES By JuRo lam, 13: HE rattle snake is gener- ally supposed by a great many people to be almost j extinct, but they are still quite numerous in Cali- fornia. There are to be found a great many rattlers on the govern- ment’s reservation in Kern and Tulare coun- ties. Two brothers were working for the government. They were sent out to see about planting some trees, and having no horses they were forced to walk. A rattler will generally give warning be- fore springing, and are not generally ag- gressive unless forced. The brothers were journeying along peacefully, when they came upon a rattle snake. While teasing the reptile one of the brothers got a little too close and was at- tacked by the rattler, which sttuck its fangs into the man’s boot-leg. The fellow with the snake on his leg be- gan to whirl around so as not to give the rattler a chance to drop to the ground and thereby strike him. again. He called his brother, who, instead of coming began to laugh. Until the brother should stop laugh- ing there was nothing to do but to keep turning, and giving vent to few words kept expressly for state occasions. Finally the brother stopped laughing and killed the snake, but not until the rattler’s victim had become pretty weak in the knees. RE ane tebe ae The common method of killing rattlers in California is to get them to run, when they are seized by the tail and quickly jerked in such a manner as to snap off their heads. Te bet MEE aE One time, when rattle snakes were rather numerous in Sonoma county, and it was a common occurrence to see one crawling across the road, a teamster who was hauling lumber had a unique experience. One morn- ing he observed a large one crossing the road. He thought he would run over it, in order to get the rattles. He had planned to run over the center of the snake, but the wheel merely crossed the tail. The snake coiled on the wheel, caught the brake- rod. and started to climb towards the seat. The teamster, shouting “whoa” to his team, dismounted with one jump, and landed on the grass near the road. He cut a stick with his knife and killed the snake. But from that day he allowed snakes their share of the road. K + K One day a girl from the city went to visit relatives in the country. The family con- tained four children—two girls and two boys. The boys being full of mischief, de- cided to play a joke upon their visitor. Ac- cordingly, they killed a large rattler, pulled off the rattles and placed the reptile in the girl’s bed. At the supper table the conversation drifted to snake stories. The boys urged their father to tell his best. Nothing loath to place himself somewhat in the light of a hero, he related the wildest tales he could imagine. After talking for a long time after supper they decided it was time to go to bed. The visitor had no sooner gotten into bed than her feet came in contact with the cold rat- tles. She jumped out of bed with a scream, thinking she had narrowly missed being bitten by a snake. One of the girls came running into the room to see what was the matter. “There’s a snake in my bed, and I know it, because I felt it!” Upon examination only the rattles were revealed. ——————— THE ECHO. THE HIDDEN TREASURE By Elmer Fresher, ’14. oO © PD) RILEY ..was-.a. boy about seventeen who wish- ed to study law. He lived with his father. His mother died when he was very young, and his father had not married again. They lived out of town a considerable distance and were not very well to do. His father had a very small income and was continually thinking how he could obtain enough money to send his son to a law school. As Ned’s father and his neighbors sat around the fire-place evenings, telling stories; he had often heard his father tell the story of the “hidden treasure.” The “hidden treasure” was a large amount of money that had been taken by an old miser into a cave known as “Ben’s cave.” The old miser had been seen to go in, but had never returned. Others had gone in search of the treasure and had never come back. One evening his chum, Jack Lawson, came over. While the three were sitting around the fire-place, his father again told the story of the “hidden treasure.” A new idea appeared in Ned’s mind. He decided to go the next day and try his luck at find- ing the hidden treasure. That night, when Jack started home, Ned followed him to the door, and after they got outside he told Jack of his idea. Jack, who was full of adven- ture, thought the plan all right, so they de- cided to start the next morning. The next morning came and Ned got ready to start. He decided not to let his father know what they were about, so he took his gun as if for hunting. It was not very long until they had reached Ben’s cave, which was about one mile distant from Jack’s home. Lighting his candles, Ned took the lead. Both were somewhat afraid, but neither one said anything to the other about it. The cave wes very broad at the entrance, but kept getting narrower as they proceeded. Suddenly it became very nar- row and made a sharp bend. Just beyond the bend was a small crevice where light en- tered. Naturally this would attract one’s attention, and it did so with the boys. Ned took but a few steps after making the turn, with his eyes turned toward the sunlight, when he stepped into a hole. He fell straight downward for a few feet, but struck a slanting rock which was very smooth. Ned tried to check himself, but in vain. Down, down, he slipped. But the slanting surface on which he was sliding, was di- vided by a partition of rock, and luckily he lodged on the left hand side of it. If he had dropped to the right hand side he would have fallen into a deep chasm. But as it was, he soon came to a standstill. He was frightened so badly that he could hardly speak, but he managed to yell to Jack. He told him to get the long rope at his place, which injunction Jack obeyed with alacrity. He tied a large rock to the end and lowered it, but it went on the right hand side of the partition. Jack shouted that he had reach- ed the end of the rope. Ned had not felt the rope, so thought that it was too short. In feeling around for the rope his hands came in contact with a small box. He lift- ed it, finding it heavy, and _ instantly thought what it must contain. More anxious than ever to get out, he shouted to Jack to get more rope. Jack soon got the rope and tied the two together. This time the rope took the left hand side of the partition. Ned took the rope in one hand and the box in the other. After some hard tugging Jack managed to bring Ned to the top. The boys opened the box and in it was—nothing. The “hidden treasure” has never been found.

Of no less importance is the annual debate to be held soon after the Senior play. While athletics is practically limited to the boys, the war of words is something in which the girls usually triumph. At least, we expect them to—considering the weapon used. As a training for life work, the study and the practice of argumentation is on a level with the study and the production of litera- ture. Each is a branch of English; each has the same function. The ability to communi- cate ideas is a power that we dare not de- spise; the necessity of reproducing thought is a condition that is not to be escaped. While we are preparing ourselves for life, let us, by all means, train ourselves in its practical phases. Master Latin if you will; but master English above all. To have real power, you must be able to convince, to prove that black is white, to sway with the sound of your voice. To acquire such a force, what is more necessary than the knowledge of words? What more efficient than the practice of using them? To ac- quire a vocabulary, study literature; to learn how to use it, practice debate. Before the final contest, a series of pre- liminary debates will be arranged. A plan has been devised, which, if put into execu- tion, will provide opportunity for each pu- pil to demonstrate his ability and to become accustomed, by a gradual process, to the novelty of public speaking. As a logical outgr owth of the internal activity thus created, a more general aspect may be taken. It might be well to do as kindred schools are doing—consider debat- ing as a recognized organization of the school; to form a selected team; to send that team to compete with the teams of other schools. A debating league might well be established—just as we have athletic leagues. Geographically a center, with rail- roads radiating in every direction, the facil- ities making toward the success of such a plan are obvious. In conclusion, let us say, that any arrange- ment, innovation though it be, which tends to enlarge the area of training open to stu- dents, should receive our hearty support. THE ECHO is a champion of any such sys- tem. K We are glad to state that the fine spirit of enthusiasm which was engendered a year ago, fostered to maturity last semester, and at its prime at the present, is bidding high to endure. The training squad at work is a sight worth seeing; the treasurer’s book is a bank account; the dues-collecting depart- ment has a sinecure; The Echo has the largest subscription in its history—and best of all, nobody “knocks!” a ee te We note with pleasure, that a revival of excursions to field day seems to be taking place. The upper classmen will recall the good times enjoyed from such a source dur- ing the days of the old S$. M. A. A. L. The excursion to Ukiah, a week from tomorrow, ought to consist very largely of Santa Rosa rooters. We will win the event, have a jolly time, and we trust, demonstrate the en- thusiasm which all of us possess. WHY NOT MAKE A TRAINLOAD? NOTICE All manuscripts designed for the April issue must be submitted by March 31st Verse wanted. The wearers of the Orange and Black Last year were all victorious. So on these heroes our hopes we'll stack, For they'll make us a record glorious. Owing to the frequent rains, training has been made rather difficult during the last month. But in spite of this, the -athletes have done some excellent work. Ben Drake has been performing more wonders with the discus. He hurled it 92 feet, which is a High School record. Carroll Weeks, an old star, has been showing class in the weights and runs. Lambert is still up to his old standard, if not above it, in the pole vauit and shot put. He has also lately dis- covered that he can broad jump. The first night he made 18 feet 6 inches, which fact means that unless Messrs. Clark and McIn- tosh get a hustle on, they will have to share broad-jumping honors with a third party. Cochrane has been coming pretty close to the High School limit in the high jump. He cleared the stick at 5 feet 6 inches. Fred Pederson is vaulting 10 feet regularly. The relay team is the same old invincible. Oth- ers who are helping make this season of ath- letics a busy one, and who have good chances to “grab” something in the meets are: Mulls, Berry, Bettini, Talbott, Maroni, McPeak, Mitchell, Bussman and Chapman. The result of the first night of the class meet was as follows: Shot put-—Lambert, 711, first; Weeks, rr’ second; Drake, ’11, third; Berry, °13, fourth. Distance 39 feet. High jump—Cochrane, ’11, first; Peder- son, 713, second; Mills, ’11, third; Gore, ’12, fourth. Height 5 feet 6 % inches. Broad jump—Clark, ’11, first; McIntosh, ’11, second; Mermann, 711, third; B. Mer- mann, 11, fourth. Distance 18 feet 6 inches. Discus—Drake, ’11, first; Bettini, °14, second; Bussman, 713, third; Corrick, °13, fourth. Pole vault—Pederson, ’13, and Lambert, 11, tied for. first ; Gore, 12, and Maroni, ’13, tied for second. Height Io feet. First Night Seniors, first, 12744 points; Sophomores, second, 25; Freshmen, third, 24; Juniors, fourth, 12%.

The record stood at 96 points, and was made by the 1910 class. The Freshmen also broke their record. ‘The ’o8 class held the previous record of 23 points. Drake: broke the hammer throw record by 5 feet. The Northwestern Sub League meet. will be held in Ukiah on April 1st—one week from tomorrow. The rooters’ club should be busy next week, as Santa Rosa will be victorious. An excursion will be run with the remarkably low rate of one dollar for the round trip. This is your chance. The system of training rules supported by the athletes are very rigid, and� failure: to follow them means dismissal from the team. The rules are enforced by the captain, the manager and the coach. The. use of tobacco,’ liquor, and certain stimulants are forbidden. The diet is’ re- stricted to wholesome foods. It is required that the athletes be in bed by. a-certain hour at least six nights in the week. One article provides for the keeping of order in the training room, which must be kept neatly at all times. GOVERNING BOARD A regular meeting was held February 13. A can of floor-wax, to be used in the girls’ basement, was allowed to be purchased. The track manager was allowed to. pur- chase a shovel, to be used in digging up the sand in the jumping pit. Bruce Mermann’s resignation: as ‘second- term representative was .accepted.:at the regular meeting on February. 27. Jesse. Lingenfelter -and Elmer © Fresher were nominated to fill the vacancy of.sec- ond-term representative. Elmer Fresher was elected. The treasurer’s report up to. February 9, was accepted. The manager’s report for the February Echo was accepted. A regular meeting was held March 7. The track manager was allowed to have forty hurdles made at a cost of $20. Mr. Steele (Hist. IV.)--What service did Generai Sherman render the United State s before he served in the Civil war? Madeline C.—He was with Washington at Valley Forge. Lily L.—I dreamed of an elopement last night. Mary W.—You shouldn’t let your imag- ination run away with you that way. Miss Crane (Chem.)—If boron is not found in.a free state, where is it found? Carroll Mc. (thinking of Hist. 1V.)—Why er—er—in a slave state, I believe. Miss Watson (Physical Geometry)— What is the name of the people who live in Turkey? “'Class—Turks, Miss Watson—Now, who can tell what those living in Austria are called? Grace Smith—I know; ostriches. Ruth T. (in the library)—Do you know how long every man (Everyman) is? Miss. Mize—No, I don’t. Ruth T.—Then I'll take a “School for Scandal.” Charles C.—Yes, I'll admit that women have better complexions than men. Ida Fl.—Naturally. Charles—No--er—excuse me; artifically. SCHOOL In commemoration of Washington’s birthday, a splendid program was arranged by the students of the High School. Two vocal numbers were rendered by Paul Coch- rane, as well as a vocal duet by Lillian Stein and Lea Spooncer, The special programs that are being ar- ranged each week by the various members of the Student Body prove to be very pleasing and are enjoyed by all. The members of the cast are working dil- igently to have the production of the Senior class play, “His Father,” a success. Re- hearsals will now occur every Saturday evening until the play is produced. The Student Body was favored a few weeks ago by the selections which were ren- dered by Mrs. Marvin P. Holmes. Mrs. Holmes gave a synopsis of the numbers and pointed out very pleasingly the difference in each class of music which was given. A composition of her own was also given. Her numbers were enjoyed immensely by all. Miss Mildred Peterson was home last week from San Jise Normal. Owing to the resignation of Mr. Jeffris, NOTES DeWitt Montgomery has been added to the faculty. The hot lunch which was served in the girls’ basement of the High School was a convenience to those who hitherto brought their lunches, but it has been discontinued. The class in physiology under the direc- tion of Miss Watson, visited the Burbank school in order to study ventilation. This proved exceedingly interesting and instruc- tive to all t he members of the class. On Arbor Day another splendid program was given. The fillowing numbers were rendered: Violin solo by Walton Hastings, accompanied by Mrs. Minnie Mills; an in- teresting paper on “The Economic Value of Birds,” by Esther Gilkey; a paper by Olive Wright on the “Value of Forests,” and an interesting talk on “Plant Breeding” by Howard Gilkey. Mr. Peter, a graduate of the High School, as well the University of California, gave a short but interesting talk on the “Mojave Desert.” Since the resignation of Mr. Jeffries, the orchestra work is being continued under the direction of Mrs. Mills. “Collegian,” Fort Worth, Texas: Your literary department is, as usual, up to its high standard. We still insist that more cuts would improve your appearance. “The Toltec,’ Durango, Colorado: A neat little paper, full of live stories and good jokes. The various activities are well writ- ten. “Artisan,” Boston, Mass.: A thoroughly representative paper. Contains some good material. You need more cuts. “The Hitchcock Sentinel,” San Rafael, Cal.: This little news sheet comes again, interesting as usual. “The Hilltop,” Jersey City, N. J.: A good issue. Your school activities are well writ- ten but poorly arranged. “The Normal Record,” Chico, Cal.: An excellent number. A table of contents would be of more interest than those eight pages of ads in the front. That space also belongs to the literary department. “The Nooz,” Stevens Point, Wis.: We are very sorry to note that you take our criticisms as “extinguishers.” The Echo thoroughly understands the limitations of narrow financial bounds and sympathizes with you. Please re-read the note at the head of “Exchanges” in the November is- sue. Your material this month is up to the same standard which has so pleased us in previous issues, “The Tripod,” S aco, Maine; A well ar- ranged and well edited paper. You need cuts. ‘They will have a tendency to make your pages have a more inviting appearance. The stories are good. “The Oracle,” Bakersfield, Cal.: You have ample room, so why no table of con- tents? Your literary material is good. The various athletic activities are very well writ- ten up. However, you need more cuts, “Ripples,” Cedar Falls, Iowa: No table of contents and misplaced editorials are your only shortcomings. Your literary ma- terial is very good. Local activities are well represented. Your joshes, both orig- inal and borrowed, are exceptionally good. “Olla Podrida, Berkeley, Cal.: Where is your table of contents? Your literary and department material is very good. We are glad to note that you are undertaking “Stu- dent Control.” THE ECHO. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY By L. C. Towne ’14 Oh, Senior class of June ’I1, Your play was not set up in heaven, But in the good old Berkeley town, Where college boys do things up brown. We all are working hard, you know, To give the best kind of a show; The cast is strong with twenty-two, And that, I say, is not a few. “Hap” Abeel as “Steady” West, Is certainly the best of best; Lingenfelter as “His Pop,” I tell you now, is just tip-top. Nat Schmulowitz, the bright play-wright, Does make us work with all our might: So come and bring your fairest dame, To make her scream will be our:aim. CALIFORNIA VICTORIOUS By Juliet Tod. “Three cheers for San Francisco!’ Again it rose and fell; “We've got the Exposition, Blow the whistles; ring the bell!” We waited long to hear the news That flashed from sea to sea, By telephone and telegraph, Our glorious victory. “Hurrah for California, She won the Exposition For Frisco’s men and Frisco’s charms Have smothered opposition. ? CALIFORNIA VICTORIOUS By Al. Maroni. In:San: Francisco joy abounds, For she has won the day; In New Orleans the waiting crowds Afe“stricken with dismay. The news that came from Washington Has filled us with delight; With bursting bombs and rockets’ glare , We celebrate tonight. The: joyful truth that came to us While we were waiting there, Was how our city bravely won The Nineteen Fifteen Fair. CALIFORNIA VICTORIOUS By Louis C. Towne. Great City, by the Golden Gatte, To thee we sing this joyous lay; We know: how thou didst wait thy fate Upon that glad eventful day. The bombs burst forth upon the air, The country swains came forth in glee, For San:Francisco won the fair, Had gained a noble victory. The gracious sun dispelled each cloud, The: green wet grass gave beauteous sheen ; The multitude shouted aloud, For Frisco and Nineteen Fifteen. iam a Mary’s Menagerie Mary had a little lamb, ’Twas Persian—on the coat; She also had a musk or two About her dainty throat. A bird of Paradise, a tern, And ermine made the hat, That perched at jaunty angle On the coiffure, largely rat. Her tiny boots were sable-topped, Her gloves were muskrat, too; Her muff had heads and tails of half The “critters” in the zoo. And when she walked abroad, I ween, She feared no wintry wind; At keeping warm ’twas plain to see, She had all nature “skinned.” Sam—Have you heard of the new attach- ment on Ben’s auto? Charles C.—Yes; the sheriff attached it vesterday. Rachel L.—It seems strange that of all girls you should love me alone. Howard G.—That’s right; you don’t ex- pect me to make a fool of myself in public, do you? Courteous Miss Watson, while walking backwards, in Physiology II., came in contact with the book-case. Without turning around she said, “Oh pardon me, did I almost kill you?” Education Freshman—May I trouble you a moment, Mr. Steele? Upper classman—Say, coach; how about this? Graduate—Hey, you; come here a minute. Contented My sombrero doesn’t reach over the ocean, Nor does it reach over the sea; But. it does .reach over Carrie, And that’s enough for me. —Carroll W.

Can you make it any clearer? Ben D,—Get me a dictionary and I can. Fresh Air Crusade in the Study Hall Up with the windows—open the doors! Fresh air, cold air; give me some more! What is the difference, if freezing we be, So long as we do as the say at U. C. Radiators four, the room does hold, Three hundred people, the number in roll; A cold in the head, pneumonia in chest, But what’s the difference—they surely know best. Narrow Escape Esther M. (to mother)—Oh, I was aw- fully scared today. Sam and I were out walking and we met the minister and he asked to join us. Teacher (Eng. II.)—Miss Turner, that poetry of yours was scanable, but I can as- sure you that it was most scandalous. Estelle H.—Edith, did you ever see a saw- fish? Edith McNutt—No, but I once saw a sea- fish, Carroll W.—Yes; I rather have you re- frain that sing. Donald McPeak—I wish that I could find something to absorb my mind. Anna G.—Have you tried blotting paper? Rachel Lee (Hist. IV.)—California is very important. There is a great deal of mining, and much agriculture is raised here. Russell Snyder (Hist. IV.)—In the battle there was a terrible loss of death. Chester G.—The fact is, that you girls make fools of the boys. Edna P.—Sometimes, perhaps; but it is not always necessary. Mary W. (Hist. 1V.)—The Merrimac was a boat of rounded rectangular shape—that is, the corners were rounded. Kathleen M. (at the piano)—Don’t you think the refrain beautiful? Mr. Montgomery (Eng I. B)—Who was Ben Shie? Nada W.—She swept the cobwebs from the sky. There was a young Irishman, Pat, Who happened to sit on his hat. “You can thank yourself, b’y,” Said Mike, with a sigh, “That you head wasn’t there where you eau. —Ex. Minister—Do you take this man for bet- ter or for worse? Bride-elect—Better; he couldn’t be any worse. —Ex. Mr. Steele (Hist.

THE BGGHO SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA, APRIL, 1911 HARRY’S DISGRACE By Carrie St. Claire T was one of the most per- fect days in early spring. s All nature seemed to be revealing her sweetness in every conceivable manner. The birds had never sung so sweetly and the flowers seemed in fair revelry over the daintiness and sweetness of their perfume. It seemed hardly possi- ble that anyone could be other than care- free and light-hearted on such a day, but such was the case of Harry Norcross, as he was slouching homeward after school. “What can it be? What could have done it?” he muttered. It was evident that he was much perturb- ed over something. “Who could have believed it of me?” he repeated. “What can it be?” That day the president of the Student Body had asked him to resign from his po- sition of treasurer. The president, Will Mac Intyre, had been quite surly and gruff when he had said, “Sikes will see you next week.” Now, Sikes was the nickname given the principal, Mr. Fenton, of whom all the boys stood in wholesome awe. He was so stun- ned that for a moment it was impossible to say anything. At length, he asked Will to explain, but Will only shrugged his shoul- ders and walked off. Of course, he had re- signed, but it had been hard. It seemed that everyone knew of some awful crime, but were afraid to speak to him about it. His boy friends after dismissal, had hasten- ed off without asking him to join them. True, he had never had to be asked before; but something in their faces caused him to turn and go homeward. For a third time, he repeated, “What caused it? Perhaps, af- ter all, I have b een too confident and de- served a come-down, but not as hard as this.” All at once, his face brightened, for com- ing down the street was Helen Taylor—one of the most popular girls in the Piedmont High School. He was about to call to her in a jocular tone, when something in her fact stopped him. She passed him by without a word. For a few moments Harry could hardly believe his eyes. “Girls are snobs, anyway,” he exclaimed. “Still something fierce must have happen- ed to turn even Helen against me. I was going to ask her to go with me to the basketball game, but I suppose she'll go with that swell-head—Earl Rushmore.” Just then a terrible confusion was heard and an effeminate appearing youth, appar- ently about the age of Harry, was seen to be rapidly approaching on a horse. He had lost all control of the animal and was vainly striving to stay in the saddle. Just before reaching Harry, the horse gave a violent lurch and the young fellow was losing his balance, when Harry deftly seized the bridle and brought the horse to a halt. The boy on the horse had fainted and Harry, at- tempting to keep an expression of disgust and contempt out of his face, lifted him to THE ECHO. the ground and quickly brought him to consciousness. The boy was none other than Earl Rush- more, the son of the banker. On account of his wealth he considered himself superior to the other boys. Slowly he raised him- self, and seeing Harry, flushed painfully. “You!” he exclaimed. Something in his voice at once aroused Harry’s suspicion, and he said: “Yes; your horse seemed badly fright- ened.” “You,” Earl repeated, assuming not to have heard his remark. “You sure happen- ed along at a lucky time for me, Norcross. A little more and I would have had a dirty fall. By George, Harry, you’ve been white to me! Why didn’t you let that horse throw me? Why haven’t you choked me? I de- serve anything. I am sorry, but I was the whole cause of your recent disgrace! Snatching him, Harry’s face became livid, and it seemed for a moment that he would choke Rushmore; but on second thought he calmed himself, and spoke none too harshly. “You scoundrel, you haven’t been content with knocking me, but now you try to get me in wrong with some dirty trick. I might have known that you had something to do with it. Explain!” “I will,’ he whimpered. “But it seems you are such a lucky fellow, always winning honors and increasing your popularity, while I never seemed to make any impres- sion.” A feeling of pity arose in Harry’s heart as he looked at the cowardly boy before him. After all, he was to be pitied. He had never had a chance to be a man, for he had been petted and cajoled by an ambitious mother and an over-indulgent father. “How did you do it?” “I circulated the story that the High School money had been taken for your pri- vate use. It seemed easy, as the school funds are in my father’s bank, and I was cashiering when the president came to find out how much money there was in the bank. It seemed such an easy way. But you treat me so square that I’m getting tired of try- ing to down you. I will confess it all to- morrow. Now let go of my neck; you’re choking me.” With these words, the two walked to- wards the town, where they met a party of High School boys, who paused in astonish- ment at seeing the two boys together. As- suming a courage wholly unfelt, Earl made his way to the boys and told the tale, which exonerated Harry from all blame. The boys were overjoyed to hear that their popular school fellow was not guilty of such an act. Karl standing alone, he could not help but feel envious as the boys gathered around Harry with the old love of comradship. “Tf I could only win friends like that—I can too, if I make up my mind to be as honest as he is; I wonder if the fellows could ever like me like that.” As he walked away, alone, wholly unmissed by the boys, he did some good thinking, which helped him to become the man he proved to be in later years. Harry had been home only a few min- utes when the telephone bell rang, and a girlish voice inquired, “You are coming over as usual, aren’t you, Harry? I just saw Earl Rushmore and he told me a long story —but you come up tonight and I’ll tell you all about it. Goodbye.” The next evening a very happy, enthus- iastic boy was seen seated by quite the pret- tiest girl in the hall, loudly cheering the home team. THE ECHO. PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION---1915 Frances Ahl. URRAH! The year of Mm grace, 1915, has arrived, the time for the Panama- Pacific Exposition. Peo- ple from all over the uni- verse are traveling to San to witness the World’s Fair, which is about to be held in honor of the opening of the Panama Canal. On such a mission was I, as I entered a crowded train, and departed for the me- tropolis. As I gazed from the car window I thought of the passed days, how in the early part of 1911, Congress, by a large ma- jority, had decided in favor of the Western city, how the news was so quickly tele- graphed over the world, how the State of California rejoiced that day, and showed her appreciation by the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells. Then, adding to all the joy of this January morning, Apollo drove his steeds across the sky and the sun shone down, after almost a week of contin- ual rainy weather. After having ridden on the train for about two and one-half hours, I stepped onto the ferry-boat, and enjoyed a most magnificent ride across the bay. It was a beautiful, calm morning, and as the sun was making its journey across the sky, it shed its beams down on the blue waters, presenting a scene more beautiful than tongue or pen can de- scribe. Francisco Before me were many war vessels from every nation, decorated with their bril- liant flags. Adding to the life and the beau- ty of this scene many small sailing boats were moving about, while overhead, airships of various designs were constantly passing on their way to the big celebration. Notice- able among these was the handsome new model of the Wiseman biplane. In a short time I was across the bay and soon had passed through the ferry building. Before me lay the glorious San Francisco; behind me the clear blue waters of the bay. The surrounding streets were crowded with clattering carriages and automobiles. Street cars were continually running thru the crowded streets. The cement sidewalks were thronged with people from every nation of the globe. The buildings were decorated with the ilags of the various countries, but above them all floated the proud red, white and blue. I gazed upon these lively scenes a few minutes, and then entered a touring car. Within the next few hours I enjoyed a most beautiful 1ide through the entire city. I saw all the sites of San Francisco, including the Cliff House, Golden Gate Park, the lead- ing exposition buildings, and many other places of interest. In general, the entire city was one scene of grandeur and mirth, all decorated and arranged for the opening of the fair on the following Monday. Monday dawned bright and clear, and as the hour of nine drew near, Market street was the scene of one of the largest gather- ings the world has ever witnessed. The President and Vice President of the United States, together with the President’s cabi- net, representatives of the mightiest republic on earth; ministers of kings; governors of States; statesmen, warriors, and ambassa- dors gathered here to be conveyed to the exposition grounds. A long line of hand- some carriages and automobiles, beautiful in their equipments, lined both sides of the street as far as the eye could see. This group of national celebrities entered the car- riages and autos, and started tor Golden Gate Park amid cheers from the vast multi- tude assembled for the occasion. Following these men were mauy other officials ; indeed it seemed as if all the world’s famous men were present to participate in this noted THE ECHO. event. Never before in the history of man- kind have so many representatives from the various countries of the world gathered in one place for the celebration of a common cause. The parade journeyed for several miles along the beautiful streets, which were lined with stately mansions, over which waved American flags. At Golden Gate Park, millions of specta- tors occupied the space beyond the confines of the parade grounds. Hundreds of autos and rigs, filled with handsomely dressed ladies an-] gentlemen, were lined up on all sides. As the parade approached, the mili- tary arm of the country rose in grateful sa- lute to the civil power. Infantry, cavalry and artillery with banners gleaming in the sunlight, stood in martial array, while bands crashed, and officers brilliantiy mounted dashed hither and thither. Guns were fired, flags were raised, and cheer after cheer pro- claimed the loyalty and enthusiasm of the defenders of the republic. When the parade passed, the crowd rush- ed to the entrances of a colossal lecture hall, which was soon packed to its utmost. A sea of human faces stretched far away on both sides. The great audience rose and cheered until the hollow dome thundered and roared in concord, as President Bryan stepped forward to give his introductory address. I remained in this building for several hours, listening to the lectures of various leading men, and the singing of national GALLEY TWO—.. hymns. After the last speaker had com- pleted his address, the great audience slowly arose as if loath to leave the scene of such an impressive ceremony. As the crowds filed slowly out of the great hall, the firing of guns and the blowing of whistles pro- claimed that the great advent had been con- cluded. The Panama-Pacific Exposition build- ings have recently been dedicated to the greatest exposition the world have ever wit- nessed since the beginning of time. But dedication day was not yet over, the mag- nificent display of firewarks at night was one of the most popular features of the day. Even before dusk several millions of people were gathering to witness the fiery siege. The skies were soon aflame with light and the air was filled with myriads of Roman candles, rockets, and all sorts of strange devices for making various colored lights. The scene continued late into the night, in fact it was almost dawn ere the streets were once more cleared of their throngs. On the following morning, I decided to return to the park and spend the day visit- ing the various exposition buildings. I took an early car from the city, thinking I might see the decorations and grounds be- fore the crowds gathered, but when I ar- rived at the park it was already thronged with thousands of people. After surveying the beautiful grounds, I decided to enter some of the buildings. As I had always heard so many stories in connection with the beauty and magnificence of buildings of art, it was my desire to first visit the Pal- ace of Arts. This building was well lo- cated near the center of the grounds and was set off to good advantage. It was an immense structure, covering more than thirty acres of ground. It was classic in style, bearing a strong resemblance to the Grecian-Ionic models. Its leading architec- tural feature was a huge dome, which meas- ured one hundred and fifty feet in diameter and one hundred and seventy-five feet in height. After having thoroughly surveyed the exterior of the building and its immed- iate neighborhood, which was ornamented with groups of statues, replica ornaments of classic art, Grecian art and the like, I as- cended the front steps and entered the beau- tiful arched doors. When I gained my first view of the interior of the “palace,” I was by no means disappointed with what I saw. Before me lay the grandest gallery I had ever seen. It was the main floor with a THE ECHO. nave and transcept, where the collections of sculpture were displayed. Here were collected the masterpieces of all the world’s famous sculptors. The beautiful statues were placed in rows, extending from one end of the gallery to the other. As the rays of the sun shown down through the huge dome they rendered a scene which defies the power of the pen. Besides the main gallery, devoted entirely to sculpture, there were smaller galleries formed in each corner by the intersections of the building, and around the entire struc- ture were galleries forming one continuous promenade. These furnished ample areas for the display of paintings and sculptured panel reliefs. One of these rooms was graced by the portraits of the world’s fa- mous men and women. Here hung the pic- tures of Ina Colbrith, California’s nature- loving poet, and Joaquin Miller, another famous Californian. Pictures of many other noted people, including such famous writers as the English dramatist Shakespeare; Longfellow, the poet; Burns; and such statesmen as Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bona- parte, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. But among all the portraits of the gallery, the one that attracted my at- tention the most was that of our distin- guished fellow-citizen, the greatest horticul- turist and scientist of all time, Luther Bur- bank. There was so much to be seen in the Palace of Arts that I spent the entire day visiting the various galleries. During the remainder of the week, I vis- ited the other important exposition build- ings, among which were the Machinery Hall and Electrical Building, and the Agricul- tural and Horticultural Buildings. Each one of these was of immense size and beau- tiful architectural design. They presented excellent displays of their respective ex- hibits. In general, these exposition build- ings with their magnificent displays fur- nished a comprehensive picture of the civ- ilization of the day. After having spent a week taking in all the sites of the Fair, I departed for home, but many pleasant memories were still in my mind. The Panama-Pacific Exposition had proved itself the grandest event of its character, and one that would be pre-emin nent in the world’s history. This “Festival of all Nations” was a perfect culmination of all the progress made by the various coun- tries of the globe during the centuries which had passed. THE ECHO. THE VOYAGE Emily E. Rued. O an American visiting Europe, the long voyage he has made is an excel- J lent preparation. The ces- sation of the usual occupa- tions produce a state of mind peculiarly fitted to receive new im- pressions. In traveling by land, there is a continu- ity of scene, and a connected succession of persons and incidents that carry on the story of life and lessen the effect of absence and separation. But a sea voyage severs us at once; it makes us conscious of being cast loose from the secure anchorage of settled life, and sent adrift upon a doubtful world. As I saw the last blue line of my native land fade away like a cloud on the horizon, it seemed as if I had closed one volume of the world and its concerns, and had time for meditation before I opened another. That Jand, now vanishing from my view, which contained everything dear to me in life— what changes might take place in it before [ should visit it again. [ delighted to loll over the quarter-deck and muse for hours on the tranquil bosom of a summer sea. Then later play the fas- cinating game called “shuffle board” with my fellow passengers, or tramp about the sailors’ deck. Sometimes a distant sail gliding along the edge of the ocean, would be another theme for idle speculation. In the evening, after the elaborate dinners, we would sit on deck listening to the soft strains of the band. Perhaps another ocean liner would pass, and the cheering and saluting was a fasci- nating thing to me. But the second day of the voyage was far from pleasant. I then realized how the first sensations of sea-sickness felt. I pass- ed the day in watching and feeding the thousands of little fish. In this pleasant position I could distinguish the voices of my friends, giggling at my great distress. I kad forgotten how the day before I had laughed when they were in the same con- dition. We one day descried some shapeless ob- ject drifting at a distance. At sea every- thing that is seen in the surrounding ex- panse, attracts attention. It proved to be a whale, and then I remembered the stories I had read about the colossal size of the whales and their ability to “spout” water over thirty feet high. One night we saw a seagull. The captain informed us that soon we would near the Azore Islands. The next morning the is- lands were in full view, and of all the beau- tiful sights I have seen in my trip from San Francisco to New York, and through Eu- rope, I really think the islands impressed me more than any other. Probably it was because it was the first land we had seen for five days. It was as if the five days had been five weeks, although we had enjoyed ourselves immensely. It seems strangs that these hills should suddenly rise from the depths of the ocean. The banana groves were very tempting, but as we did not have the pleasure of going ashore, we could not see the groves nearer than with the field glasses. We spent the whole day on deck, and towards evening, the islands were be- hind us and by the next morning we were again out on the vast expanse of water. Three days later we came to Gibraltar. We had the extreme pleasure of being ashore for three hours. A small steamer carried us from the liner to the city. There, the narrow streets, the water carriers and many other foreign sights were very inter- esting. The hundreds of beggars and ped- dlers, who tried to sell their wares to the unexperienced “Yankee” were very amus- ing. Soon the three hours were over, and again we left for the steamer. We were sailing THE ECHO. ——o—ESES=SEEeEEEEEEEEEEEEeEeEeEeEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—————— through the Mediterranean Sea. It remind- ed me of all the brave Romans and Phoe- nicians, who had sailed in the same water, and which I had tried to study in the “An- cient History” class in the Santa Rosa High School. It was a fine, sunny morning when the thrilling cry of “Naples”! was given from the mast-head. None but those who have experienced it can form an idea of the de- licious throng of sensations, when an Amer- ican first comes in sight of Italy. There in front of us, arose the gorgeous Mt. Vesuy- ius, with beautiful Naples at its foot, and the quiet bay, blue as the heavens. The small Italian boats were going leisurely from side to side, and the brightly-dressed gitls with their mandolins were singing gaily about our steamer, ready to catch all stray coins thrown from the happy passen- gers above. With a short swish and thud the steamer came to the dock. All now was hurry and hustle—the meeting of acquaint- ances, the greeting of friends, the consulta- tions of men of business. We only—our party of three—were alone. The friends whom we had quickly learned to love, were gone. We stepped upon the land of sunshine, fruit and flowers, but felt we were strangers in a strange land.

President McIntosh and his various com- mittees have been at work for the last month, arranging the details. The plans for the annual debate, which we mentioned in the last issue, are now pro- ceeding rapidly. The success of the excursion was far more successful than our hopes. The students who accompanied the team on that memor- able day should be commended for their enthusiasm. No material for the next issue of THE ECHO will be accepted after May 12. Jokes and poems are wanted for that number, but the stories have been selected. In conjunction with the graduating class of June, 1911, the staff of The Echo is plan- ning to make the commencement number a record-breaker both in size and in quality. It is the desire of all concerned to make that number the best in the history of the school. In addition to the regular departments—all of which will be greatly enlarged—special features will be used. The number will con- tain the pictures of the graduates, the pic- tures of the athletes, and the pictures of the members of the staff. The commencement progtam and other articles of especial in- terest to the graduates and their friends will be printed. Significant Upon getting married, Milton wrote “Paradise Lost.” Upon the death of his wife, he wrote “Paradise Regained.” The dual meet between Santa Rosa and Oakland Polytechnic High, resulted in a decided victory for our school. The attend- ance was not even respectable, there being only about forty people from our school, and there was no rooting section at all. It looks as if we have to go away from home before we can secure a crowd for our meets. The athletes from Oakland were a sturdy looking crew, but that is about all one could say for them. When they were matched against our fellows they quickly showed their inferiority. The summary: 50 yard dash—Kinslow, S. R., won; Mc- Peak, S. R., second; Feehan, O. P., third.

AST, On April 1st, the Northwestern railroad ran an excursion to Ukiah, where the semi- annual meet of the Northwestern Sub- League was held. At least eighteen hun- dred people availed themselves of the low rates and ideal weather, and went up to see the athletes struggle for the glory of their schools. Santa Rosa won both cups; Paul Cochrane being the one who secured the highest number of individual points—14. It was a great day for Santa Rosa, and it went a long way toward placing her in the lead among the schools of the coast. The summary: —— =— THE ECHO.

SCHOOL NOTES This is the first day of school after a va- cation of two weeks. During that time in- stitute was held at the High School. A few weeks ago the entire special pro- gram was rendered by Weston Anderson, including three instrumental solos, which were greatly enjoyed by all. Through the efforts of Mrs. Mills, our genial musical director, the students of the High School were permitted to listen to a number of selections rendered by Mrs. Bar- nett, a talented vocalist. Her numbers were very pleasing to all. An Educational Epidemic Mother—Where do you feel sick? Earl J—On my way to school. Clara C. (Hist I.A)—Claudius died 54 B.

Mr. Moss, a very talented musician, ren- dered an instrumental selection before the Student Body. Miss Irene Norris was a visitor during the last week of school. Miss Gladys Gibson was with us on the 11th. Alice de Bernardi has been dishonorably discharged from the Student Body for non- payment of dues.

Ap- ply to Edith Sanford. — A special meeting of the Governing Board was held March 8. The girls’ basketball team was allowed to play Analy on March to. The matter of having the forty hurdles made at a cost of $20, was reconsidered. The track manager was authorized to have forty hurdles made at a cost of $25. At a special meeting March 9g, the track manager stated that Oakland Polytechnic High School had accepted our challenge for a dual track meet, with the provision that we pay their expenses. The track manager was authorized to notify Oakland Polytech- nic that we would pay one-half of their car- fare and provide them with entertainment during their stay. The track manager was also advised to communicate with other schools concerning a dual meet, offering similar terms. A motion was passed at the meeting on March 15 to the effect that we invite the members of the Mothers’ Club to attend the track meet on March 18. The track manager was authorized to pur- chase a gallon of “rub-down” for the use of the team. A special meeting was held on March 24. It was decided to have the cup which we won in the meet with Oakland Polytechnic, engraved at the school’s expense. The manager’s report for the recent field meet was accepted. The manager’s report for the February Echo was accepted. Miss O’Meara, in behalf of the Mothers’ Club, thanked the Board for the courtesy shown in presenting them with passes to the field meet. A finance committee meeting was held March 28. The manager of The Echo was allowed five dollars for his services in issu- ing the January number of the paper. The sum of $65 was set aside to help de- tray the expenses of the commencement rtumber of The Echo. At the meeting on March 29, the track manager was allowed the sum of $14 to pay the carfare of thirteen men and a coach to the N. W. S. A. A. L. meet at Ukiah, April Ist. ‘The sum of $2 was ordered drawn from the treasury to pay for hauling the new hur- dies from Windsor. EXCHANGES The “Hitchcock Sentinel,’ San Rafael: Your issues of February 11th and 2sth in- dicate that you surely have a promising ath- letic outlook this season. However, all your write-ups contain the phrase, “lack of space prevents giving details.” This should be remedied. “Olla Podrida,’ Berkeley: Your Christ- mas ’I0 issue needs a table of contents. This is your only error. The paper presents an excellent appearance. The material is all well written. “The Sotoyoman,” Healdsburg: Your January and February issues come so as to be under consideration for one issue of The Echo. Both issues are good, live papers. Your literary department and _ editorials show special merit. “The Pioneer,” New Orleans, La.: Your second issue is at hand. You have omitted the table of contents; also give the editorial department first place in the regular de- partments in preference to exchanges. Your departments are well written, considering your limited space. “The Toltec,” Durango, Colorado: Your material is good, but sadly confused. Let your literary work precede the editorials, and the athletic notes precede the class items. “The Quill,’ Marion, Iowa: Why no ta- ble of contents? Your arrangement is heartless. Editorials and literary work should exchange places; also exchanges and locals. Your locals are good. “The Sentinel,” Los Angeles: A _ thor- oughly representative school paper. Your editirials and personals are worthy of spe- cial mention. Your arrangement is very good. “The Calendar,” Buffalo, N. Y.: Your material is good, but your a rrangement could be greatly improved. You need some cuts—your pages are too bare. “The Hilltop,” Jersey City, N. J.: Your ccver design is good. The literary material this month has greatly pleased us. Both cartoons are good.

The winte r was past, it was springtime’s first call, All nature awoke at the summons so mild, The spirit of spring was hovering o’er all, And the God of all nature looked down, and smiled. So in all of her loveliness, nature’s sweet gift, She was the dew-begemmed queen of the lane, And with pride could her golden-rayed coronet lift, For no princess e’er ruled o’er a fairer domain. But with all of the honor of royal estate, By the warmth of the zephyrs from harsh winds protected, While the birds all their joys in their singing re late, Butter cup sighed, she was lonesome, so lone- some and dejected There was none of her race all along the whole way; Baby-blue eyes were cherub-like, lovely, The shooting-stars were saucy and gay, Tho’ the meadow-foam tried to be neighborly; What can cheer up the heart of a buttercup sad, When in solitude waiting, her spirit is tried, Quite so well as the smile of a buttereup glad? And she longed for companions to nod at her side. Soon a bumble-bee stopped, with a busine like whisk, A great, blustering, good-hearted fellow was he, While he lit on the brim of the buttercup’s disc, To taste of the nectar in high ecstasy. He was drinking the sweets, refreshing and pure, As the buttercup bowed and swayed ‘neath his weight. “T can never repay you for this, I am sure,” He said, while she thought of her lonely estate. Gilkey. the prize cup in the literary contest this year. “IT have it, as this is the season for mating, And your own preious dust is all wasted,” he told her. “Why, you poor lonely blossom, you need pollen- ating!” So with one fuzzy leg, he scraped off his shoulder, While he felt in his wallet, with flower-dust lined, The results he examined—and he looked very wise But of buttercup pollen not a grain could he find, With the thousand odd facets of his complex eyes! “IT am sorry, Miss Buttercup,” he hummed his ex- cuse, “O’er the hill, there’s a tribe of your folk dwel- ling there, [am sure they have pollen in supply that’s profuse, [ll be back in an hour, with all I can bear.” With a buzz and a rumble, off sped Mr. Bumble, He filled all his baskets full, more than enough With a rumble and a buzz, back came Mr. Bumble, He showered her well with the bright down stuff. The buttercup looked with a. high aspiration, To the time when she’d ripen each shiny akene, And sow them around her—a_ bright. contempla- tion And the tiny young plantlets would grow on the green, To form happy companions, in sunshine and love. How thankful she felt, not a creature reviled, As she lifted her head to the Father above, And the God of all nature looked down, and smiled. Ah, those who are wisest will tell this to you, That a floewr’s existence is always a strife; If the fittest survive, must the winners be few, And the blooms aftenest plucked, are the firest of life. To despoil the lone blossom—who would dare— She was grasped by a child—he gave a rude jerk Only one single bud left to bloom and to bear, In an instant was wasted the bee’s careful work. THE ECHO. a Was the wayside for e’er of its Golden Queen rob- bed? Was there reason for sorrow or mourning, in- deed? “Not so,” tho’t the flow’r as her heart proudly throbbed, “T still have a bud that will bloom and bear seed.” All her life blood she gave—it’s an old, old story— She had just this one bud to care for and nourish, It eventually opened exposing its glory, The loss of the others had caused it to flourish. Away down ‘neath the leaves, in a spot that was snug, All the day he would hide, for he worked all the night; There was one of God’s creatures, a meek little slug, Who was always so timid, that he kept out of sight. In his nocturnal quest, with fastidious taste, He spied a choice portion of stem ‘neath the flower; So he took just a nibble, nor did it in haste, But the blossom had perished in less than an hour. Spring-time was passing, nearly gone by, The hope of the season had fled,—alas, The ground was all dry, for the summer was nigh, And the dust in dense clouds formed a pall on the grass. The roadside was seared, scarce supporting a clover, So to one not accustomed to read nature's book, ’Twould appear that the Buttercup’s season was over, But the strangest things happen where last you would look. For out of the sullen gray sky came a shower, It melted the dry, parched clods of the field; Nor did it neglect yet the small wayside flower. It washed off the dust t hat her foliage concealed. A bud sprang out from the barren stem, Its advent belated in life’s weary race; A wee little bud, such a rare dainty gem, All alone in the world, out of time, out of place! The bumble-bee, watching her struggling existence, Had seen all the ills so destructively fallen; How she tried once again with a quiet persistence, So he offered to help her to find some more pollen. Then he went on his way, seeking high, seeking low, As he searched ev’ry hill, ev’ry vale, far and near; A day passed away, then another as slow, The buttercup waited for him to appear. But at last when so weary he almost despaired, Mister Bumble had found on a mountain's high crest, Where all of the wind and the cold she had dared, A pale, tardy blossom, a dwarf at her best, Then in haste he returned, with two tiny grains, Which he placed on the buttercup’s stigma with care, She thanked him most kindly for all of his plans; He poised for an instant, then was lost in the air. The summer sped by, the autumn we night, The buttercup had striven and heaven had blest; On the stalk there were two naked seeds, bro wn and dry, She was satisfied, too, had she not done her best. Her faith was strong that her seeds would be spared, That her Hope would be granted, her fear be beguiled; There was Love in her heart for the One who had cared, And the God of all natvre looked down, and smiled.

Your coun- cil, your encouragement and your enthus- iasm will remain. As graduates of the in- stitution you come more and more to be part and parcel of its wealth. Remember that it is the graduates who maintain the standard of a school. In your success the school will prove worthy of success; in your loyal devotion she will find the strength needed for greater achievements; in your continued friendship and service to her best interests she confidently hopes for a greater future. As Freshmen, you read a little and you wrote a little; as Sophomores, you acquir- ed a knowledge of the laws of natural forces and of social and industrial conditions; as Juniors, you gained a certain power of pre- vision that will enable you to spend your efforts in useful and delightful directions ; and as Seniors, you are striving for a better philosophy of life—for happiness. Happi- ness is getting and giving all that life has that is worth getting and giving. The training which you have received, both in your home and in your school, has been of infinite value in moulding your character. ‘This training will be of value to you only as it will cause you to have the courage to uphold all that is right and to condemn all that is wrong. In any contest, even if you lose, the consciousness of hav- ing done the right thing compensates for expressions of love your sense of defeat. for your parents do not count for as much as the endeavor to live up to the counsel given by them, [Expressions of loyalty for your school do not count for as much as the endeavor to live up to the training re- ceived while in school. As you go forth into the wide world it will be your duty as educated men and wo- men to meet situations, fearlessly, as they arise, with the information with which training and knowledge have equipped you. It will be your duty as intelligent citizens, at all times, to guide the ignorant with whom you come in contact, and to disclose the methods of those who adopt low esti- mates for their motives for the purpose of deceiving the public. When conditions and 1 times call for sound counsels, have the cour- age of your convictions, even if those con- victions require you to face public opposi- tion and unwarranted abuse. It is only by facing seemingly unconquerable opposition that you can become the useful citizen which you ought to be. Strive for that which is good, wholesome and true and you will stand long on the heights. Members of the Class of 1911, success awaits you. Plan to do something useful and give your chosen work your undivided attention. Let your chosen work be your one great hobby until you become an un- disputed authority on that work. My message is: Be progressive. Sincerely yours, CEAREBS? Ex SbainGye THE ECHO. HOWARD ELLSWORTH GILKEY ERBA MABEL PEUGH ENGELINA SUSAN WARD RUTH MEHE LUTTRELL THE ECHO. TO THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1911 Frances IDR: Accept my congratulations! Tonight, | am sure all of you must be saying to your- selves, in secret, what President Wheeler has said so often in public—“It is good to be here.” It is, in truth, good to be here; here, at graduation. How well you have lived up to your motto—‘Be not simply good; be good for something.” You do not know how much your selec- tion of your motto pleased me. I am so proud of you in your choice, so gratified to find you discarding the antiquated practice of selecting Latin quotations, and substi- uting one from our one American writer. Henry Thoreau never said anything better than those words. Tings are so true to the est American spirit. “Be not simply good —be good for something.” What a clear- cut command to obey! There is the old yassive form of goodness, that which re- sults from seclusion from all temptation; ut that is so selfish—to hug one’s own soul igl from all harm, leaving other souls to go to perdition. How can that be called good which permits evil to live and grow unchecked? We have seen the ineffective- ness of that passive goodness. The world has learned that it is the active principle of goodness that is really good—because it is good for something. It is this active prin- ciple that is now crying protest against the disastrous results that the passive good have permitted to become so wide-spread. It is here that the great value of education may be made manifest. To know is to pos- sess power ; to make use of knowledge is to make its possession of value. This is why great cities are now fighting graft. This is why Woodrow Wilson, president of a great university, saw the wisdom of his leaving the chair of learning to occupy the chair of state; this new Governor of New Jersey is good for something.

You have already proved that you are good for something; you have proved that you can accomplish what you undertake. It is no small achievement to secure a certifi cate of graduation. To do so requires concen- rated effort and a certain amount of ambi- ion and perseverance. Four years of such work is a long time in the span of life you lave as yet measured. Yet how many of you have tenaciously held to your resolu- ion? You have cause to feel proud of your class.

You had courage to choose what you knew would be laughed at; courage that can defy ridicule is good for something. But in your colors I saw noth- ing to ridicule green and white. Green is the hue of the springtime, the season of beauty and growth; green is the hue of the sea, the sea that is deep and strong; green, the hue of the Holy Grail, that priceless emerald cup. White is the gleam of the snow, the emblem of all that is pure; white is the light of the diamond, the gem most valued by men; white wasthe heavenly-dove —that spirit from God on high. You may well hold dear the green and the white. Just as your white carnation crowns the long stem that reaches from the mass of green rising out of the black earth beneath, so from the dark soil of ignorance may the elements of highest development pass into widespread masses of growth, from which shall rise the spirit of upward striving that shall blossom into fragrance and beauty—‘the white flower of a blame- less life.” So go, you who wear the green and the white, Be active in fostering all that is right; Your good deeds increasing year after year, Fulfilling the promises made by you here. With affectionate pride, I see you depart; | bid you farewell, from the depths of my heart.

The persons upon whom this power was_ be- stowed were visited by a deep sleep. On the Tuesday before Graduation, we had felt queer all day. It was a sort of restless feeling that could not be accounted for. We retired early that evening. In a dream, we arose and preparing for a jour- ney, stepped out on the porch and, there, waiting for us to get in, was a huge air- ship. The airship ascended into the clouds, and after we had become used to our posi- tion, we began to look about us. To our astonishment, we found the aeroplane to be guided by our old class-mate, Leo Noonan. Our friend described the mechanism of the knew it we were We alighted on the outskirts of a beautiful city, and on machine, and before we rapidly descending to earth. inquiring where we were, we were delighted as well as surprised, to hear that we were near Salt Lake City. While walking through the city, we passed a large assem- bly hall. 1e sounds of a woman's voice. rom the immense doors, came Thinking 10se vocal strains sounded familiar, we de- cided to enter. The hall was crowded with hundreds of enthusiastic women, who seemed greatly pleased with what was be- ing said. After going a few steps nearer the stage, we were amused, but not surpris- ed, to see the speaker was our old friend, Ruby Ahl, addressing a suffragette meet- ing. We decided we did not have time to wait and speak to her, so followed our guide back to the bird-like machine, which soon took After a few minutes us up in the air again. NEVA BRITTAIN we again made a quick drop to earth, and soon found ourselves in Denver, Colorado. We were informed that we were to visit a minstrel show, and wondering what surprise was in store for us, hastily hurried to the large tent, to which we were directed. The show was good, for its kind, but imagine our surprise when we recognized the most comical “bones” to be our athletis friend, Paul Cochrane. We could see that he rec- ognized us, by the brilliant smile he flashed to us time and again. After the minstrel show, we again entered our machine and were whisked into the air. We hovered near the earth for a while, and went slowly, while we passed the Trans- Missouri R. R., then stopping at a watering station. As we neared it, the people sig- naled for us to stop; and on stopping, the Duncan, first person we saw was George standing on the platform. He was carrying a large basket of spearmint gum and pea- nuts. He was an expert as this occupation, for he had ample opportunity to smile at the girls. He welcomed us with a package of gum for each, and waved a brisk farewell as the train rolled slowly out of the station. As the last car was nearing us, we realized that someone was waving to us. We imme- diately recognized the blushing face peeping from under a hat, piled high with chicken feathers, to be none other than our old class- mate, Estelle Holchester, and from the beaming countenance of the gentleman by her side, we solved the mystery. They were on their honeymoon. We left the little station and were soon sailing through the air with great speed. Af- tel traveling for a long distance, we arrived at the large city of Chicago, and on alighting made our way through the bustling crowds, dodging the noisy cabs and cars, finally com- THE ECHO. W.

Walton Hastings and assisted by Lester Mermann, Singing Evangelist We were pleased to hear of our old class- mates again, but as we were on our way to the theater, we could not stop. We contin- ued on our way, and arrived at the theater in due time. The play we were to witness was the little operetta, “The Music Master.” The chorus girls, assisting the leading lady, were graceful; but how familiar those two on the end looked. By the use of our opera- elasses, we recognized two former Santa Rosa girls, Annabel Lee and Laurene Over- ton. After the operetta was over, we waited to congratulate our former classmates; then proceeded to a fashionable cafe. We noticed one of the waiters rushed to serve us, and to our astonishment, we recognized him as Ben Drake, looking quite dignified in the roll of a waiter. Next morning, by the use of our airship, we were quickly conveyed to the great city of New York. Threading our way through the We stopped near the slum distric teeming crowds, we met one person whom we could not fail to recognize. He greeted us with a hearty handshake and told us he iad spent his years since graduating from ligh School in helping the poor and needy. s our time was limited, we bade a hasty farewell, wishing Mr. Wallace Ware the yest of success in the life he had chosen. s the cars were somewhat crowded, we vailed a passing taxi. Imagine our amaze- ment, when we found our chauffeur to be our old classmate, Fisher Kinslow. We then remembered Fisher’s fondness for running a machine during his High School days. Passing a large convent, surrounded by beautiful grounds, we noticed a group of sacred Sisters, enjoying their morning walk. As the taxi was going slowly, we recogniz- ed, among the group, Margaret Lonergan, who, after finishing High School, had chos- en to live in the convent. As he was interested in politics, our chauffeur advised us to attend the Socialist mass meeting to be held that evening in the Metropolitan Theater. When we arrived the 10use was crowded to the uttermost and we could hardly get a seat. After hearing sev- eral addresses, the chairman introduced the lon. S. Abeel. The applause was madden- ing and from a gentleman near us, we learn- ed that our old civics classmate was one of he leading politicians of New York. We regretted having to make a _ hasty adieu to New York, but were soon flying on our way to the old world. Our course was directed toward Germany, and on arriving at Berlin, we decided to see the much-talk- ed of opera, “The Flying Dutchman.” It was a great success and you will soon under- stand when you hear that the leading parts were taken by Erba Peugh an Norma Britton. Passing through a little village in southern Germany, we stopped at a small inn, and there we witnessed another happy surprise. The graceful bar-maid proved to be our friend, Gwendolyn Yarnell, the quiet little Gwen of June ‘It. We soon bid farewell to our friend and made our way toward the “Fashion Center of the World.’ On ar- riving there, we visited many of the shops but was especially attracted by the follow- ing sign, which translated, means; Mademoiselle Keegan and Woolsey Fashionable Parisian Modiste As all tourists visit the Natre Dame Col- lege, we decided to make a survey of the place.

We felt as though we owed them the visit, as they had saved us so many per- iods of hard labor in school. The members of the troupe were going through their l we were not at all surprised to see Edith McNut and Nan Gould jumping through the hoops. We con- morning’s exercise, an gratulated them, and hurrying on our jour- ney, crossed the Py renees into Spain. Stop- ping at a small village late in the evening, our attention was attracted by the sweet singing of a troubadour. Looking closely, we recognized the singer to be Laurence Moore, the editor of our High School paper. We learned later that he had been hunting for material for a novel that he was writing, but being attracted by the life of a trouba- dour, he joined their ranks. The evening was warm, so we decided to take a stroll about the village. On the plaza, our attention was attracted to a Span- ish dancer. We rew up closer and the first thing we knew she came rushing toward us, and thrust a tambourine before us. Glanc- ing at the face of the dancer, we recognized our old classmate, Ruth Luttrell. We gave her a nickel and passed on. Leaving Spain, we hurried south, and on one of our many stops we met Russell Sny- der, who was on a tour for his health. Still going south, we soon arrived in Africa. We ired a guide who was to show us some typical African jungles, and in one of the jungle villages we found two of our old classmates, Lily Lewis and Harry Norton, who had sacrificed their easy American lives o work among the heathen. We were anxious to get back to our old lome, SO we soon directed our way to Amer- ican soil. Traveling west, we arrived at Cuba. Here we took lunch with our old classmate, Elois Forsyth, who was enjoy- ing the bliss of married life. She told us that Mervyn was a successful physician in England. On arriving at New Orleans, we decided to spend a day there. Visiting one of the large parks, we noticed two people very much engrossed in conversation. As we passed them, the young woman smiled, and then came to us and shook hands. It was a great pleasure to meet again our charming friend, Beryl Locke. She told us that Mary Ward was a teacher in Physics in New Orleans, and then passed on, leaving us to wonder what had brought these two friends to this beautiful, romantic city, in the first place. We soon found out that Thelma Goodfellow owned a large millinery store in the same city. Regretting that we could not visit her, we took our way through the State of Missouri. In a little rural town we saw our old classmate, Howard Gilkey, who was the proprietor of an up-to-date butcher-shop, around which he had a garden of choice flowers. This proved to us that Howard had never lost his great love for Nature. He informed us that our dignified president, Carroll McIntosh, was one of Mis- souri’s leading representatives in Congress at Washington. Being pleased over this information, we directed our course toward St. Louis, and on arriving there in the evening, we walked up one of the main thoroughfares. We noticed that the Salvation Army was hold- ing a street meeting, and gathering up close to hear the beautiful soprano voice which seemed to deaden all others, imagine our surprise when we learned the singer was a member of the June class of ‘11, and was none other than Elza Frese. Fond memor- ies bloated back to us of how Elza enjoyed the morning song service at school. Passing on and entering a leading hotel, we proceeded to register. The clerk proved to be Carroll Weeks, who had taken up hotel work for a livlihood. Early next morning, being homesick, we decided to leave for California. Going by the way of New Mexico, we were soon near the city of Santa Fe. Stopping about four miles outside the city limits, we visited a TH E ECHO.

The little, prim and sedate school teacher we recognized to be Madeline Coffey, who told us that she en- joyed the serene life and climate of Mexico. Leaving the little school, we hastened in- to the city, and buying the morning paper. we noticed this announcement: ‘The wo- men of Santa Ie have started a paper en- titled ‘Women's Rights versus Men’s Ty- ranny, edited by Miss Ava Litton. We smiled as we thought of how our former classmate had assisted in editing our school paper. fter spending the morning in Santa Ie, we departed for San Jose. Visiting a fash- ionable summer resort, we met a flashing young woman enjoying the cool seaside pleasures. She proved to be our old freind, Gertrude Weir.. She told us she had been married twice, and we secretly judged from all appearances that she was waiting for the third chance. Ffrom her we learned that ngelena Ward was an instructor of Bio- logy in an Eastern college, and that Esther Seott was a member of the Red Cross So ciety and was ministering to the sick in In- dia. Thanking Gertrude for her kind informa- tion, we proceeded on to the great city of the West. Hurrying down Market street, we passed a little flower stand. Hearing a familiar voice cry “Violets, who will buy?” we turned to meet face to face, Irene Norris. Buying a large bunch of violets, we proceed- ed on and passing a nickelodeon, We TECOos nized the ticket-seller to be Katherine Dea con. Going up to speak to her, we learned that Mary Balridge and Ophelia Caldwell were running a large classic dancing acad- emy on Stockton street. Thus we had found four of our classmates in one city. Leaving San Irancisco, the aeroplane was on its way to dear old City of Roses. Ilying past Pennsgrove, we saw Sam Mitchell, who was the lord of his ten-acre chicken farm. Waiving to him, we passed on. Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. Good Gracious! Is it time to get up?

Come immediately.” (Signed) Gordon. With a determined look, he replaced the paper in his pocket and hurried back up the little street of the summer resort to his own cottage. There he summoned his chauffeur and told him to get him to the next station in time to catch the train. The two jumped into the automobile and started. “Faster, Tom, Faster!” yelled Mr. Brown from the back seat, as they flew down the road. The landscape seemed to be blurred together from the lightning-like speed of the car. They sped over miles of dusty roads and passed several small villages, where they left the inhabitants gazing down the road to make sure of what had j st passed. s they were passing through one smal town, a county constable rushed out and frantically waved his hands a 1¢e swiltly advancing machine. The chauffeur slowe: down, but Mr. Brown called out, “Charge the fine to C. H. Brown, Bos On, Go on! Tom, don’t stop!” And they disappearec before the constable could utter a word.

It left here ten minutes ago,” whereupon the agent closed the window.

THE ECHO. ee exclaimed in a disgusted tone, that he had told him to go home. The next move he took was to race up and down the one small street of the town in search of some means of a conveyance, Not a single person in the village owned an automobile, so his search along that line was in vain, One old man was obliging enough, however, to offer him the use of his mare and wagon. After Mr. Brown had surveyed the gaunt-looking mare and the rickety old wagon, he graciously declined the offer, say- ing he was afraid the journey would be too much for the horse. He walked back to the station in an angry and discouraged state of mind, to think that he must remain in such a place so long, and at a time when he was needed elsewhere. As he wearily seat- ed himself on a bench, he. thought angrily of his chauffeur, whom he blamed for this After vead in his hands, he arose and paced the delay. sitting for a while with his ylatform.

He had been spend- ing his vacation at a small summer resort, quite a way from Boston, where he had left iis share of the business in the hands of his vartner, Mr. Gordon. THis business was run- ning so smoothly, when he left it, that the elegram had come as a sudden shock to um. He could not imagine what was wrong and was therefore doubly anxious to ‘each Boston. While gazing listlessly down the road, he 1oticed a man approaching on a small farm wagon. A pair of fine, large horses, a great contrast to the last one he had seen, were drawing it. As the farmer approached the station, Mr. Brown went out to meet him. “Tow much will you take, sir, to drive me to the next station? By missing the last train, | am delayed here for several hours, and I would much rather be traveling on than to wait here so long,” said Mr. Brown, in a quick, business-like tone. forgetting “Your horses seem fresh and able to stand the journey all right,” he continued, as the man hesitated. “Oh, yes, they be a mighty fine pair of travelers, all right,” he said thoughtfully, as “But | warn t calculatin’ to go any beyond here to- he flicked a fly off of one of them. day.

But I'll have to unload these here eges first,” he said, he he jumped down and proceeded with his work, After the last case had been deposited on the platform, he told Mr. Brown to jump on the wagon and then followed his example. They started down the road at a good pace. Mr. Brown was busy with his own gloomy thoughts when he was suddenly startled by hearing the farmer say: “Dou you happen to know the Boston firm of Brown and Gordon?” “Yes, I’ve heard of it,” he answered in nocently. “Big: firm, ain't it?” ‘I think so,” evasively. “I’ve heerd tell lately that they wus about to fail.” “What's the cause?” asked Brown, whose interest and curiosity rose as his hopes fell. “Wall, yesterday when I wus in teown, I heerd a man talkin’ about it at the station. Ile didn't ‘cause he mean for me to hear, I reckon, wus talkin’ kinder low and con- fidential like to another man.

N the great exposition ot px 1915, celebrating the com- pletion of the Panama 4 Canal, the world will be called upon to participate 9) in the celebration of the greatest engineering accomplishment of our modern civilization. feat which all Eu- rope has been forced to admit is of too great a character for any of her powers to meet. She has been forced to this acknowledgment in some cases by actual failure. We look with pride, upon the success our own na- tion has made of the project. This high deeree of success has not been limited, by any means, to the engineering question in- volved; but has been attendant upon the problem of labor, health, sanitation, morality and spiritual environment which have been involved. s my subject refers to the Exposition, | shall devote but a moment to the canal. The figures given, though accurate, are given to convey some idea of the enormity of this undertaking, rather than for statis- tical value. The first problem confronted was, when the “Isthmian Canal Commission” submit- ted its report, in 1901. “The commission had duly considered both the Nicaraguan and the Panama routes, and recommended the Nicaraguan, as the most feasible and prac- tical. When the commission finally suc- ceeded in getting a statement from the Pan- ama Canal Company, it was found that the Panama route would cost between 63 and 64 millions more than the Nicaraguan. They also estimated the cost of maintenance of the two routes, and found that the Panama route would require $1,300,000 less, annu- ally, to keep it in repair. The principal ob- jection to the Panama route, however, was not its cost, but the fact that the construc- tion work was all centered in practically two places, namely the Gatem dam and Bohio locks, and the Culebra cut. The commis- sion were of the opinion that, since the work was more centralized it could not be at- tacked by so great a force, and would there- fore require a longer time to complete—the standard canal leneth being some 30 miles. feature against the Nicaraguan route was, that it required artificial harbors, while the other had natural harbors at both ends. The estimated cost was: the Nicaraguan route, $189,864,062; and the Panama route, $253,- 374,858. For reason best known to Con- eress, the Panama route was taken up, and is now rapidly nearing completion. Thus we see, great problems have been involved in the canal project, from the very begin- ning. The result of the canal, acting as a chord, o draw the civilization and commerce of he East and West into a closer relation, has yeen so often quoted, and so conclusively sroven, that its influence in uniting these two national units is now taken as a matter of course. The invitation, which will be extended by our government to the nations of the world, to attend and participate in this great cele- bration, will signify more to our nation and to all the civilized nations, than has any previous Exposition or World’s Fair. Vor never has such an assemblage been held, which has had as its motive, a thing of so great importance, and benefit, to all the world as the canal. In this age of commer- cialism, the fact that all will receive some pecuniary benefit, cannot help but add, ma- terially, to the interest and attractiveness of the Exposition, to all involved. The finan- cial forces in Europe, and the Orient, fully THE ECHO. SS ST realize this feature of the canal, and will lose no opportunity of advancing their inter- ests. Geographically, San Francisco is so sit- uated as to form the great divide between the fast and the West—both as to our own rans-Pacific commerce, and that of Eu- ‘ope. The great commercial forces will be, yf necessity, centered on the Pacific Coast. f no hindrances are put in the way, new rade rather will follow, and extensively de velop the channels already open, than exploit new and dangerous ones. Thus with San ‘rancisco the nucleus of trade on the Pacific Coast today, and flanked by unequaled na- ural resources, she will draw to herself, and impart her own life to the great flood of exchange which will pass between the na ions. San Ifrancisco is naturally so situated, that it is the only practical and logical place to hold the Fair—in the center of the Pa- cific Coast, on an ideal horbor, surrounded by over 700,000 people representing every nation. If the canal is to facilitate commun- ication with the West, it surely must be celebrated in theWest to be appropriately honored. A celebration anywhere else would be no more appropriate than a Bunker Eill memorial on Mt. Tamalpais, or a Plymouth Colony monument at Bodega Bay. Again, San Francisco is the only log- ical and practical place for the holding of this great celebration. Because it must be held in a place and manner to conform with the historic significance of the canal. The canal will develop the West more than the Kast. The idea has long been prevalent, that the nation was really confined to the territory east of the Rocky Montains. The easterners are discredited in the West, and the westerners looked upon by the eastern- ers, as some sort of creatures embodying the height of bad manners, poor judgment, nd intellectual starvation. The canal and = 1e Exposition will force men—and—women everywhere, to realize that ours, is a nation of two coasts, and of two points of inter- national commerce, and that the West is more than the backyard of the nation where olitical and social disruptions in our na- ional family may be sent for correction. The purpose of the Fair will be to draw ogether in one great assemblage, and ex- iibit, the forces of mind and matter which lave brought the civilization of today to he high position it holds. True it is, other Expositions and I[airs, have been planned, with a purpose, but none with such a world- wide, important incentive. The American people, through Congress, have conferred upon San Francisco, a high and honorable responsibility. The powe: has been given her, to unite under a bind- ing power, with a common opportunity, for a common good, the great world forces to which I have referred already. That re- sponsibility does not end with San [ran- cisco alone, not with the State of California, not with the Pacific States; no, not even with the nation. Her responsibility will ex- tend over the whole world field which will be brought to a focus in the Exposition. Therefore, we may expect to have the evils of the medium through which these im- mense interests are brought to that focus appear in the Exposition. The common good which may be derived from the Exposition may be minimized or enlarged, according as the city of San [ran- ciscO measures up to that responsibility. This will not be satisfactorily met by an initial bluster; rather by a constant and un- tiring fidelity to the great responsibility en- trusted to her by the nation, and to the con- fidence and reasonable demands of the par- ticipating units. Now is no time for petty strifes and jealousies to dominate. These things are deplorable even when no _ par- ticularly great issue is at hand. Therefore, [ maintain, we will reveal our diplomatic equality and true worth to the nation, by THE ECHO the degree in which these disgusting, yei somewhat prevalent conditions are either suppressed, or better still, banished from our western society and government. We often hear the statement made, and | grant you, it has a good foundation, that “after the Fair, San Francisco will suffer a heavy slump in financial affairs.” This result will only follow a certain economic law ; and it easily stands to reason that she cannot adjust herself in a night, to the tre mendous change. We need not be so much concerned about the coming of that slump, as we are about how long it stays. That period of time will be wholly governed by the way in which that city changes its ways. A moral awakening; yes, a moral revolution is essential, and it must come at once. Be- cause, the actual conditions in San Fran- cisco will cause opinions to be formed which will travel all over the world, to establish the reputation of herself as well as the na- tion. If the opinions formed are good, the relapse will be but momentary; but if they are bad, the reputation of the city will be broken down almost irreparably. These facts give cause for the nation, as a whole, to look for better morals, better government, and better service from San Francisco's public service corporations. It is only human that we judge the moral status of a nation by what we see tolerated ; therefore, if our western metropolis’ holds out her present lax and immoral system, as a sample of our American government, the verdict will surely be against us. San Francisco has conclusively proven her abil- ity to cope with so great a situation. Look, if you will, at her marvelous reconstruction since the earthquake and fire of 1906. There are but two features which she must attain to equip her for this great celebration; namely, a little more conscience and a care- ful, aggressive adaptability. In the preparation and administration ol the Exposition, there will be afforded an unequaled opportunity for the establishing of a high.reputation for fidelity to the pub- lic service, and the welfare of the commun- ity and nation. It will provide a means for the finest tests in unselfish citizenship, indi- vidual reputation, and personal character, in our western representatives. Personal disinterest, will, of necessity, prevail among the many representative ele- ments brought together. A largeness of view, of sympathy, and of mental calibre, A unity of effort should be This can only must prevail. a result of the Exposition. be brought about by a comparison of the contrasted forces, and the establishment of a mutual understanding between the dif- ferent people and nations—which, in turn can only be brought about by a largeness of view, sympathy and mental salibre. European commercial relations, and so- ciety connections, have tended to make the Atlantic Coast the head of the nation. The recent advance of the Far East, in the taking on of our civilization, will make the im- portance of the Pacific Coast much greater ; and the Exposition will be the greatest fac- tor in bringing the world to realize this. The result to the nafion will be of such im- ortance that we cannot look too early to San Francisco for better self-control. Can he nation afford to hold up, as its standard of western government, a wide-open town? Jo we, as a Christian nation, give our ap- yroval, to a system in which graft and po- itical corruption are not only tolerated, but from all appearances, protected? Is this “Paris of America,” with its present laxity, to represent our standard of Americanism? As a matter of moral self-protection, the nation cannot afford to run the risk. Again, let me emphasize: there must be a radical change in San Francisco’s present program, or another golden opportunity will be for- ever lost. But, the responsibility of San Francisco is no greater than ours. She has, in, turn, a right to expect the greatest of fidelity from us all, as citizens. Tor without the support of the people, the enormous preparations will be as useless as would our system of national government, on a desert in the South Sea Island. After all, the elements which will make the Exposition a success, will only receive their framework from San ‘rancisco. It will be the duty of the indi- vidual citizens of the nation to contridute argely to the filling in. Will we allow our- selves to be controlled by the tendency to shift the responsibility on to the other fel- ow; or will we meet our obligation to the fullest? Do you, individually, stand ready oO support the Exposition, for its worth to he country? Do you propose to help estab- THE ECHO. lish and maintain the best in it? Every de- mand will be met, as far as possible. Then let us, as Americans, demand only the best; both from our own resources, and those con- tributed by other nations. The opportunity is ours. Shall we rise, as a unit, and claim it to its full limit? Or shall we severally grab for what we think t should be ours, and thereby detract from the ? whole? Nothing but contemptible anarchy can be the motive of such actions. If this spirit exists, help to stamp it out. Let us remember that “In union there is strength.” That an Exposition supported by a united, unselfish, broad-minded people, must be a success. THE ORIGIN of the CHRISTMAS SYMBOLS Dagny J N the northern part of Nor- way, under the Polar cir- cle, on one of the beautiful fjords, lay the hut of a poor Tinnish family. The hut was a low, rough dug- out of dirt, its two small windows being covered with rein-deer’s intestines. The door, of rough boards, was partially open, and there stood in the entrance a young boy. He was dressed in a warm suit of rein-deer skin. His face, though hardened by the weather, was kind, and his dark hair and eyes showed him to be a Fin. He was gazing intently before him, as if overcome by the beautiful sight. Behind and to the left and right of him were huge, rough mountains covered with snow, the one gleaming with the long-frozen pinnacles of a waterfall. In front of him lay the quiet fjord, and in the distance, far out on the roaring ocean, the sun, rolling along the horizon as a great ball of fire, was casting 1ell its dim light over the waters, as it sank be- neath the ocean, early in the afternoon of he twenty-first day of December. The boy stood quietly in the doorway, gazing upon the wonderful scenery before lim, that was gradually being hidden by the coming dusk. At last he was aroused by the great herd of rein-deer coming in for the ught. After taking one last, long look at the mountains about him, the lad entered the 1ouse, Closing the door behind him. Making lis way to the open hearth, where a large og was glowing, he sat down on the floor near his mother, saying, “Mother, why has the good sun gone so early today ?” “Nicholas, my son,” she began, “you have often heard how the giantess Night rides around the world behind her fleet horse, NMrimfaxe; close behind her, rides her son Day, on his horse Skinfaxe, filling the heay- ens with light. Day, in his course, guides Sol, our good sun god. It is Sol that gives THE ECHO. us warmth. He shines upon the cold ground, forcing the small seeds to burst forth. Then he kisses them daily, until they become big and strong plants and trees, for, you must remember, he is the giver of life. Now he has gone far to the South on his worldly mission of giving life to all things. Watch, my son, and in a few days you will see the good god, as he makes his way back ' to our country again. Now, we must pre r pare to welcome him back to our happy lands The following days were gloomy, for no sun appeared to give cheer to the Tins. Nicholas and his father went on their skees over the mountain, in search of something green. They returned home with a lovely little pine tree, the only green thing they could find among the snowdrifts. They were a happy family, indeed, as they placed the green tree in the center of their home. The mother then placed their dim light upon the top of the tree, to repre- sent Sol, the giver of life. Meanwhile the mother had prepared many small cakes, putting them away until Sol should return. At noon, on the twenty-fifth day of De- cember, the family gathered before their dug-out, where they waited with eager hearts to see Sol return. The light became brighter and brighter, until finally it seemed as if a ball of fire were bursting upon their little world. Sol shed all his glorious light upon the frozen waterfall, the snow-covered mountains, the hut, the herd of rein-deer, and the thankful family, until it seemed as a glance of Paradise. Then the mother said, “Nicholas, take the bag of cakes over to our neighbors, and wish them good luck on this happy day, and in the season to come.” Nicholas quickly harnessed his rein-deer to a small sled, and departed on his mission over the mountain. As he drove on, he thought of how good Sol was to give them life and light. As he neared the hut of his neighbors, he saw them before their small home, watching Sol disappear into the sea. He greeted his friends cordially, saying, “My good friends, may Sol bless and be good to you in all times to come. I have brought you a few of mother’s cakes that you might share our happiness with us.” The I-ins were very happy, and so the wo families shared those happy times to- gether. Gradually the custom spread from one fjord to another, until all Norway gave thanks in the same way on that day. When the brave sea-faring Vikings sailed far to the south, they were often homesick flor their own country. On the day when hey knew that their loved ones were giv- ing thanks to Sol, they could picture their veople gathered together about the pine tree, celebrating in honor of the giver of ife. So the Norseman searched in the distant ands for a pine tree, and took it upon his small vessel. He was welcomed with cheers � y his true, patriotic Norse oarsmen, and when the dim light had been placed on the op of the tree, there followed a period of great rejoicing. Then the missionaries began to wend 5 heir way into the northern countries. They told of how a babe, Jesus, had been born in Bethlehem, the son of Joseph and Mary, and how the three wise men were guided by a star, to the Holy Babe. They told how Ile grew to manhood, going about doing good, working miracles, and teaching his people to do right; how He was the son of God, the Christ or the Deliverer, Who had come to earth to save His people. They told of the unfailing love and kindness of the Master, Who suffered death for the sake of the world. In the minds of these simple, ignorant people, the new religion resembled their old egends, so that the two seemed to unite into one. In this way the birth of Christ, Who gave ight and life to the spiritual world, seemed to them as Sol, who gave light and life to he physical world. So the symbol of the pine tree, used in giving thanks to Sol, was used on Christmas eve. to celebrate the com- nemoration of the birth of Christ. When this happy custom spread to the south, east and west, little Nicholas became known as a saint. To this day, Saint Nich- olas, or Santa Claus, is loved and waited for yy all the children of the Christian world. le is always pictured driving his rein-deer, THE ECHO. bringing gifts to place on the decorated Christmas tree, for all the small children. How many of us us have ever thought of the origin of this time-honored custom of our Christmas tree and Santa Claus? As we have never done so, there has aris- en a foolish sentiment against the belief in Santa Claus. It is said that it is wrong to teach the children of him, but then it is for- gotten that Santa Claus pictures the spirit of Christmas cheer, and brotherly love. The pine tree is the symbol of a new life born to the world, as the sun was to the inhab- itants of the far north, on Christmas day. PRESENTATION By Engelena Ward Friends and Fellow Students: During the brief four years of our High dD oe a School course, we have enjoyed seeing about us the gifts made to the school, by previous graduating classes. We have not only appreciated the beauties of the various cups, pictures, busts have learned much well. and statues, but we historical value, as In our turn, we wish to leave to the stu- dents something that may be useful to them in some way. The gift we have chosen can not be said to have any historical interest, and its value lies not in its beauty but in its usefulness. presented by previous It differs entirely from those classes, but it is something which, we think, has been very much needed by the school. n some measure is a tribute to our athletes, to both those who have departed and to those who are to come. Santa Rosa His gh School has cu ps commemorating vic- tories in other contests as well as those in athletics, and we are confident she will win many more. We are proud of these vic- tories, and wish to show our appreciation of them by providing for the proper care and display of the cups. ‘or this reason, we present to the school a trophy cabinet.

CRATER LAKE By Vernon aS ¥3‘T was once my good for- fe tune to visit the world- a renowned Crater Lake, in 4 Oregon. I was one a a par- é ty of twelve that was mak- NOS ing the trip, partly to view that great natural wonder, and partly to gather huckleberries, which grew to an un- isual size, and in great abundance on a luge mountain in the vicinity of the lake. The lake was ninety miles distant, and the county for the entire way was wild and eautiful enough to justify its being made a national park. Space will not permit me o describe the scenery en route, so I will nmediate confine my description to the neighborhood of the lake. Mor the trip en route, it will suffice to say, that we were five and a half ays mak- ing it. And we breathed the odor of the pines ; saw beautiful, crystal streams as coli as ice; thousand-acre meadows as smooth as floors; springs fifty feet across at the mouth, and heard and saw the whirr and flash of countless bright plumed fowls the entire way. At noon of the fourth day we stoppec ipon the banks of a roaring mountain stream, called “Seven Mile Creek,” so calle ecause it was just that many miles distant from Crater Lake. We had planned to go up to the lake in the afternoon; and as it 1as a lofty situation in the midst of high mountains, and is reached by a difficu lt route, we knew we must hurry if we were o have any time to view it before nightfall. So we ate a hurried dinner, mounted our 1orses, and started. The trip up taxed our horses’ strength to he utmost, and we were often compelled to dismount and walk, out of pity for them. At last, however, after scrambling up a steep pitch in the trail—steeper than any we Ross. had gone over—we gained the mountain- top with a view of the lake below us. We dismounted, tying our horses to the scrub pines, which grew upon the summit. Close by, on the rim of the mountain, an immense, flat- surfaced rock, at least twenty feet in diameter, hung over the edge of the preci- pice. It looked as if it had been placed there as a vantage point from which sightseers might enjoy the magnificent panorama be- low. We availed ourselves of this splendid position, and the prospect of the lake was ours, indeed. I have wished many times since then, that I had the power of language to describe the wondrous scene which my eyes drank in. I might say that I stood up- on a rock, below which was a sheer drop of a thousand feet to the water's edge; that | saw a smooth, glistening expanse of water, of a most peculiar shade of green, about twelve miles long, and seven wide; that the hollow shell of an extinct voleano rose out of the water far below, on the left; and on every side arose bald, massive hills, like the enormous setting of a colossal gem. But still, I can convey no idea of the water’s remarkable hue; no idea of the immensity, the sumlimity, the absolute grandeur of the prospect which was ours, from that dizzy perch. Scenes of ordinary beauty will per- mit of description; but that scene is one of the world’s abiding wonders, which makes words inadequate. To know and feel its impressive beauty, one must see it with his own eyes, and have its image stamped en- duringly upon his mind. While standing here in rapt wonder: and admiration, we noticed a speck upon the glistening water, close to the crater’s edge. I remarked that it must be some immense bird, since it could be seen at such a dis- tance. But an older member of the party a i THE ECHO. eeepc sisson sserteienaenins Soest needs told me that no bird ever alighted there, as the water was too icy-cold. As we watched, the speck grew larger; and presently we made it out to be a row-boat with two oc- cupants. Thinking we might be able to gain some interesting facts from these men concerning the lake, we decided to go down to the water’s edge to meet them. Some little distance from the rock, at a place where the bank sloped down less steep to the water, we discovered a trail, which we descended; reaching the bottom just as the skiff and its occupants touched the sandy shore. The men proved to be United States for- est rangers, who were patroling the lake re- gion to prevent fires. We made known to them our eagerness to learn something of the lake. They then told us that it was twenty-one hundred feet deep in some places; while in other places, bottom had never been reached; that it had no inlet, be- ing fed by melting snows; and that the only itlet was a stream, called Anna Creek, iles below, at the base of the mountain. ‘hey had gone out to the crater early in e morning, and climbed to its summit, where they could look over into the fearful abyss. Tor diversion they had written their names on paper, put the paper in a bottle, corked it tightly, and tossed the bottle into the depths of the crater. They had done this often before, they said, with the result that the bottles had, several times, been picked up miles below, tossing upon the bosom of Anna Creek. It was by this novel experiment that Anna Creek had been dis- covered to be an outlet to Crater Lake. We listened with eagerness to this inter- esting information regarding the lake and its wonderful crater, as well as to several Indian legends regarding the same, which I will not have time to relate. It was now growing late in the afternoon and we knew we would have to hurry if we got back to camp before nightfall; so we thanked the rangers for what they had told us, and bid them goodby. We climbed the high bank, walked out upon the great rock, took a last, lingering, soulfilling look at the lake, and then retraced our steps in the afternoon back to camp. That night we went to sleep with the roar of the mountain stream in our ears, and the odor of pine in our nostrils, while the beau tiful lake on the mountain-top was im- aged in our dreams. The next morning we made an early start hoping to spend the following night at the foot of Huckleberry Mountain, which was about seventeen miles beyond the lake. But we were not able to reach there, for the reason, that on our way, we came upon two such beautiful streams that we were con- strained to stop and admire them at leisure. One of these was Anna Creek, the lake’s mysterious outlet. We came upon Anna Creek soon after we left camp. At first the road led somewhat away from the direction of the lake, and wound and twisted in such a way as to bring us, all at once, close alongside the most beautiful portion of the creek. We halted here, in pure and genuine admiration. The ground dropped off in sheer perpendicularity at our very feet. The op- posite bank rose just as dizzily and abruptly. From the water’s edge to the earth line it was at least a hundred feet. We looker fear- fully over the edge of the bank and saw the waters tumbling and foaming over the boul- ers far below. The different stratas of rock n the opposite bank which had been worn into many strange and grotesque images, by 1e water, were records of the eternity the tream had flowed. One of the party, wishing to determine 1e quality of the rock—whether hard or soft—fired his rifle at a great, ball-like pro- jection. The shot had no more visible ef- fect that if he had raised his rifle over his head and fired into space. We proceded on our way; and very soon we came upon the place where Anna Creek came bursting forth in crystal floods from THE ECHO. a rN SE CS A SE ET PT I the bowels of the mountain. Here the road turned; and a little distance further we came to Castle Creek. It was well named, for the banks had all the massive grandeur and de- sign of some medieval stronghold. That night we stayed at Whiskey Creek, and the next morning journeyed on to Eagle River, at the foot of Huckleberry Moun- tain. We pitched our tents here, and pre- pared to make things comfortable for a week’s stay, picking huckleberries. | shall not have time to enter into detail concerning our stay at Huckleberry Moun- tain, and the great sport we had there. Each morning we packed our horses, and rode up the two-mile trail to the berry-patch. The Synonyms Smart Set—Sophomores. The Popular—The Echo. Scientific American—Vernon King, Happy Days—Vacation.

The mountain continually re-echo- ed with songs, laughter, and the prolonged halloas of those fearful of being lost. The estimated size of the berry-patch was a thousand acres, and the berries so large and plentiful, that there was enough for all, with some left for the bears and chipmunks.

We need not speak of the handsome cups and the two score of medals which have been won; it is a waste of time to re count the numerous glories of the year; but permit us to call to mind three causes for exultation : lirst, our track team has demonstrated our superiority over our neighbors to the south; second, our boy’s basketball team has lowered the colors of our bragging friends to the north; and third, our track team has administered defeat to our old rivals from Mendocino’s capital.

WALTON HASTINGS NAN GOULD ELMER FRESHER Manager, 1912 SCHOOL NOTES With this issue of The Echo our school year closes for a vacation of over two months. Since the opening of school, last August, a spirit of harmony has been mani- fested by all. Each department has been brought in close relationship with the other and this feeling of good will, which has ex- isted throughout the year, has tended to raise our school to a higher standard than ever before. The students have endeavored to make this school year a success in ev ery way and on looking back over the past months, we all feel that we can say that the year has been a success in an athletic, an intellectual and in a social way. In athletics the school has attained the highest honors. Through the efforts of our track team, four silver cups have been won, and brought into the school. In a social way, our school has also made ereat progress. The Freshmen receptions that have been given at the beginning of each term were enjoved by all the students. By the efforts of Mr. Brownscombe, Mr. Searcy and Mrs. Mills, many notable per- sons have appeared before the Student Body, lecturing either from an intellectual or mu- sical standpoint. During the Christmas holidays, a cantata and minstrel, which was directed by Mrs. Mills and Mr. Searcy, was very ably given at the Columbia Theater by students of the High School. It was a complete success in every way. On April, the eighteenth, the Senior class lay was given by members of the Student Body. This was also a decided success, and a sum of $125 was realized. All the mem- vers of the cast deserve the greatest of raise for the ability with which they filled the parts. few weeks ago the Student Body was leased to listen to a lecture given by former Supervising Principal E. M. Cox, now of the Oakland schools. Mr. Cox spoke on the value of education. Under the direction of Mrs. Mills, an High School orchestra has been organized this year and has given many concerts during the last term. The Wednesday given by various students of the school morning programs, every week have proven very interesting. Last week the High School students were permitted to visit the Agricultural Demon- strating train from the university of Cali- fornia. This proved both interesting and instructive. The track season which has just closed has been one of the most successful in the history of the school’s athletics. Irom very beginning it was marked by an un usual stir and activity on the part of whole school. And our success in a measure, is due to this very loyalty. true, the men have had a willing and effic ient trainer in the person of Mr. Steele, while the men have given him co-operation and worked hard. But even with all this, what chance would they have had of win ning victory, if, on the days of contest no loyal school-mates had sat on the bleachers fly their beloved school colors and ani- e them with their cheers. The rooters are at has counted this year. The athletes the abilitv to win. All they needed was [-confidence, and the rooters gave them at by their songs and cheers. The school seems to be really and uinely awake upon track matters. awakening is hailed with delight. And now that we are awake, let us keep awake and proceed to find out everything that is doing in atheltics: and above all, to boost. The ereat time we all had at the Ukiah meet was but an intimation of the really glorious times it is possible for us to have next year if we will all get together and give our hearty and cheerful support to athletics. A summary of the year’s work in track shows the splendid record the team has made. The team has won 32 first places, 20 second places, 23 third places and four rourth places. It has secured a total of 251 points, as well as winning 18 gold medals silver, 26 bronze medals, and 5 handsome cups. It has gone up against the best ma rial in the State, and is practically the all the North Bay schools. sum-up of individual honors would show as follows: Cochrane secured the highest number of individual poiuts, as well as tying the school’s high jump record, and winning a beautiful cup. Lambert secured the next highest number of points, and broke a shot record. Drake has done some notabl work with the hammer, having broken two records, and secured the Big C medal at Ber- ; If Ben is with us next year, we can all look for a coast championship from him. Chapman deserves special mention for the splendid manner in which he came through in the mile. [rom the beginning of the sea- con he showed steady improvement, and to- wards the end of the season carried off his event at the Big C meet at Berkeley. This is fine work for a Freshman. The other members of the track team have done their part, even though they were not so fortunate in scoring individual hon- Ors. ‘a10H) “D ‘Uasdeped ‘Y LW “d “MC Moa: ‘1901S ‘a ‘Lf YsowUpPPW “O ‘uBUdeyD soy te d ‘dq ‘aueayooD “Yy ‘SYyeaA UOLION “H ‘UOSTIAA “f fadeSvuRy_ ‘e100 7] ‘UURUTIOIY 7] ‘UUuelWeyy “Gq fuleydeD ‘UOSTIAA ‘Of AVAL TIVALAMSVA A regular meeting of the Board was held on April 4th.

SANTA ROSA, CAL., SEPTEMBER, 1911 No. 1 The Lost Letter. RL MEYERS, at nineteen, was planning to go to the uni- versity at Berlin He was the eldest son of a well-to-do éurimirss merchant, resembling his father in looks; his only ‘deeming feature being a pair of smiling blue eyes that liness of his large nose and hair. ist as Karl was preparing to go, Mr. Meyers suffered seve! A a at sea, after which he found himself in straightened cir cumstances. Karl was bitterly disappointed when he found that he could not go to college, and he would not settle down to work, even when necessity seemed to drive him to it. Mr.and Mrs. Meyers were both angry and grieved that Karl should act so. Finally the boy eed upon plans of his own. Taking what little money he had, he left for America, without telling anyone where he was going. Ar- riving in New York, Karl, together with several boys he had met on the steamer, went about searching for work, but no opportunity awaited him. Every day ae sought work and when night came they slept in some corner, only to be aroused time and again by a policeman and told to move on. Karl realized what a great mistake he had made by leaving home, so he wrote a long letter to his father, asking the latter’s forgiveness, and promising to make good if his father would only send money, so that he could return home. hen the letter reached Mr. Meyers, we was again in quite comfort- able circumstances, and arriving home jubilant over the news, he wrote a long, kind and forgiving letter to his son, enclosing the requested check. Karl, meanwhile, lived in the streets of the great city. He had been unsuccessful in finding work, so used as little money as possible, as he count- ed the days until he could expect to hear from home. The days dragged by, but still no letter came. “Surely,” he said to himself, “if father meant to write, he would have done so immediately. Perhaps he is unwilling to for- give me, or cannot afford to send money, but in that case he would write. At last it became evident that Mr. Meyers had not written, so Karl lost interest in everything. He no longer sought work or cared to live better 4 THE ECHO. and then, together with undesira ble companions, he adopted some bad habits. Having only a few dollars left, he took to gambling, and losing everything, found himself destitute in the city of New York. In those days there was no one to whom a poor boy might go for aid, and nothing to do but beg or starve. Karl did as many others had done and took to begging. One day, as he was going down Broadway, begging, the thought came to him, “What would his mother think if she could see him?’ He thought of his mother, his home, and his friends, asking himself why he had left “Father,” he said, “must think I am worthless and not worth helping, but I will find work, and show him what I can do.” With this he straightened up and started out once more to seek work Entering a huge newspaper building, where, after telling the manager of his troubles, he was given a position. His salary was very small, but with some thing in view, he found a cheap boarding place, where he spent his evenings studying, that he might become more familiar with the English language He no longer yielded to temptation, for the thought of his mother made hin wish to become something worth while. Then, after working faithfully for many months, Karl was promoted to better positions, until he became quite prosperous, He made up his mind, however, that he would not write home, until he had gained a higher standing, so worked steadily on for several years. In the meantime, Mrs. Meyers was very unhappy, for after answering Karl’s letter, nothing more had been heard of him. Many years went by, when Mr. Meyers one day read of how a Mr. Karl Meyers, a prosperous young man, was running for a political office in New York. One morning, about ten years after Karl’s disappearance, Mr. Meyers was on the wharf, when a boat arrived. Three fishermen stepped ashore, carrying an old mail bag, which they had found while fishing far out on the North Sea. The bag was marked “Str. Cimbria,” so it was supposed to have gone down with that steamer years before; but, as the bag was waterproof, the mail was still unharmed. Shortly afterwards a letter was returned to Mr. Meyers, which. to the latter's astonishment, proved to be the one written to Karl years before; so Mr. Meyers hastened to write again to his son, enclosing the returned letter. Mrs. Meyers heard nothing of the incident, for fear Karl should not respond. Karl, returning to his hotel one evening in early December, sat thinking of his mother and home, when a knock at the door aroused him. Opening the door, he received a bulky envelope, and as he glanced at it, he recognized his father’s handwriting, so read it hastily. Immediately he made arrange- ments so that he could spend Christmas in his old home. Christmas eve arrived. The Meyers family was gathered about a beauti- fully-decorated tree, when the door was quietly opened, and Karl stood before them. The mother wept for joy, for her prayers had been answered. The night was spent in discussing everything that had occurred during the long separation. As karl finished his story, he said, “The best thing that ever happened to me, was the losing of that letter, for not hearing from home gave me the pride and ambition to become what I am.” —D. J., 713 ; a eet re THE ECHO. 5 The Young Banker ENT WEST sat in his office by the desk, with his hand be tween his hands. Presently, he got up and walked back and forth in the room, while his arms hung by his side, and his face was very white. After walking back and forth severai times, he stopped by the window and looked up and down the street. He gave a groan and left the room, returning in a few minutes with a erip in his hand. Then, he looked about, locked the door, and sat down by his desk to open the grip, out of which he took two handsful of paper money He threw back his head and began to laugh, when someone suddenly knocked at the door, so he put the money hurriedly into the grip, which he threw behind his desk Then he opened the door and a middle-aged man walked in Kent had worked in the bank several years During the last months he had been speculating and had lost everything he possessed. His wife was in very poor health, so the doctor had advised him to send her to the seashore Kent, not knowing what to do, and seeing that his wife’s health was failing everyday, had stolen money from the bank. Jack Day, one of the cashiers in the bank, and a friend of Kent, had seen the latter come out of his office and returned in a few minutes, carrying a grip. He knew something was bothering Kent by his actions, so he decided to w atch him. Kent’s face brightened up as he saw his friend enter his office, and he he had always told Jack his troubles, he decided to tell them to him now, “What is the matter with you, old boy?” said Mr. Day. Kent could not keep it back, so he told him all about his trouble, except the stealing of the money. “T feel sorry for you, that this should happen, but I will think it over and see what I can do for you,” replied Mr. Day. Kent came home rather late that night. He went into his room and pushed the grip under his couch, and thinking that his wife had gone to bed, he went into the sitting room. But there she lay on the couch, looking very beautiful, as he gazed at her. Noticing she was asleep and fearing he would g 5 5 disturb her, he went back into his room, took the grip from under the couch, opened it and began to count the money. After he was through, he said aloud, “Seven hundred dollars; now she can go to the seashore.” Mrs. West awoke just as Kent was leaving the room. She got up and followed him, but as she reached the door of his room she saw him pull the erip from under the couch, count the money and say, “Seven hundred dol- lars; now she can go to the seashore.” She started towards the couch, and as Kent’s back was turned towards her, he did not see her enter the room. When she was by his side, she said softly, “Why, Kent, where did you get that money?” Kent turned around quickly. “Thi the bank to take you to the seashore.” “Borrowed it from the bank to tak you sure you borrowed that money? bring it home in that grip, and put it ut “T_T brought it home in the grip, be ! the bank!

The boys of Mayfield ha resolved to welcome the ney year with the greatest tumult of the town’s history. There was to be the usual bell-ring ing and bomb-exploding, together with other nerve-rackin2 (ARG) uproars, number of Mayfield High School boys decided to ring the High School bell at midnight, a task often attempted, but never executed. The principal being consulted, he readily gave them his permission, together with the usual warning in regard to their conduct. Old Andy, the Swede, who served the dual role of janitor and watchman, was next interviewed. Here the boys met with a disappointment. The jan itor was a grouch and a crank, speaking broadly. No amount of persuasion could bring him to their point of view. Persuasion only served to make him the more abdurate. He at length, even threatened to “clean out the whole bunch” if they did not get out of his way, and added that he would “fix” any- one who tried to ring the bell. As Andy was a big fellow, a “fixing” at his hands was not to be relished. The boys were undaunted. They had the principal’s consent, and, as their leader argued, they weren't going to let a janitor balk them. Various plans were offered as to how they could accomplish the task undetected by Andy. Scaling the wall of the building was the only hope. Red Woods sug gested the plan that met with unanimous favor. The remainder of the day was spent in preparations. Red insisted on making the climb, so was allowed his wish. About eleven o’clock, the “gang” gathered near the school building. A couple of fellows carried a long, light ladder. After reconnoitering, old Andy had been found on guard on the op posite side of the building from the fire-escape, which was to be the scene of their operations. The night was very dark, so they were able to move about unseen. Red had just started to mount the fire-escape, pulling the ladder after him, when one of the scouts approached and reported that the enemy was approaching with his lantern. Some of the boys dashed around behind the building and began a tremendous racket. It produced the desired results, the watchman came sailing back, his lantern whizzing through the darkness like a cemet. By the time he had satisfied himself that there were no broken doors or windows, Red had reached the top landing of the escape, on the third floor. Here he carefully raised his ladder until it rested in an angle in the eaves of the roof. He then began to creep up it, very cafefully, least he slip and go plunging down to the pavement. He had nearly reached the top, when Andy appeared below. Although 8 THE ECHO. Red tried to be quiet, Andy heard him, and looking up, he could just see a boy drawing himself up on the roof. Seeing that to get to the belfry was th« only way to foil him, he unlocked the door and dashed up the stairs. n anxious voice called from the darkness, “Hurry! Red; he'll beat you to the belfry !” Up on side of the roof he scrambled and slid and rolled down the oth« side until he was stopped by the belfry itself. He at once climbed in und the big bell, groped in the darkness for the trap-door, found it, reache through and pulled up the ladder so that Andy couldn’t get to him.

He started for the eave, intending to swing himself to the ground; but misjudging his direction, he walked int the skylight. Luckily, the swimming tank was directly beneath, and Red was a good swimmer. He was now in a trap, the doors being locked and the win dows barred to keep out baseballs. He was standing, half-dazed by his fall. trying to think how to get out, when he heard Andy coming. Red jumped to the door and placed his weight against it. Andy tried to open it, failed; tried again, and then again, with the full weight of his | a 1 massive shou ers. Just as he struck the door, Red jumped back and crouch | ed low to the floor. Andy came through the door like a cannon-ball, tripped over the crouched figure and sprawled on the floor, uttering a loud grunt. Red dashed for a door, only to find the lights on, and that the janitor had received reinforcements. His wife had heard the bell and had come to his aid, armed with a rolling-pin. As she was much too stout to be considered dangerous, Red dashed upstairs, unlocked a window and climbed down a fire- escape to safety. Red’s friends were jubilant, but Andy’s pride and stomach were severely injured. —By L.

If they had not formed in this way, the buffaloes would have run right over their wagons. Shanks es- timated the number at ten thousand, if not more. The band took severa hours in passing. To see a large band of buffaloes in full motion was a great sight. To see thousands of buffaloes in that rolling gallop of theirs, their big, shaggy heads close to the ground, was something that we can only reac about today. This was the first time that Shanks had ever seen a band of buffaloes, and the sight made a life-long impression upon him. Shanks finally landed in Oroville, where he managed to get enougl money to buy a mining outfit. He located a claim on the Feather river, and, as it paid fairly well, he became quite prosperous. Because he did not gamble he got the name of “Old Man.” Only once did he venture at any gambling schemes, but he frequently tried playing cards with his friend for the game, not to gamble. Jess Felt, a friend, once said: “‘The ‘Old Man’ will be playing cards for the drinks before long.” One day Shanks went down to Oroville. His friends invited him to play a game of poker for the drinks. He considered he knew enough to chance a game. They sat down, called for cards, and won from him easily. They all called for whiskey, which was twenty-five cents a glass. He got off very cheap, for he saw that all the men had forgotten as much about playing poker as he knew. Oroville was a large gambling town. All the saloons had long rooms for gambling, and many a time he saw miners fleeced by the traveling gam- blers. Money would be piled upon the table, and each man had a knife or gun, ready to be used at the slightest sign of cheating. Shanks is now a retired miner, living on his own place, which he bought with money earned in the mines. — —y—— THE ECHO. AUTUMN The sunny summer days are o’er And now vacation is no more, But busy autumn time is here, Gladdening all the hearts with cheer. Now fields stretch gay from every plain, Ladened with fruits and golden grain; And trees put on their leaves of brown, While crops are harvested for town. Once more everyone is in good cheer, Gath’ring what he planted all year; For it is happy autumn time, When fruits are picked from tree and vine. Again we roam to the forest near ; Oh, what a nice, lively place here; The birds are singing joyous lays, And everything is blithe and gay. The hills now ring with echoes clear, While the squirrels chatter far and near ; And frisking ‘bout in the leafy wood, They now appear in holiday mood. Now they run on the grass-clad ground, Now to the boughs above they bound, Gath’ring a store of nuts so fine And hiding them in a nearby pine. The sun’s rays shine obliquely down, For now it’s southward bound, Bringing us happy autumn days, Before cold winter comes to stay.

To study and master the details of algebra and Latin? You ask. Yes! That is one sadly neglected part of the many phases of a success- ful school career.

On entering, we missed the familiar faces of the June graduates, but all of us were glad to see each other and to welcome the large Freshmen class. Already we know and feel the influence of the Freshmen. During the first morning’s program of the term we enjoyed a number from one of the Fresh- men. We hope to hear from more of them and that they will become work- ers in all school activities. Mrs. Mills, our progressive and untiring music instructor, we know will give the school some very interesting musical programs. A fact worthy of notice is the large number of students who have en- tered from other high schools and grammar schools outside of this county, twenty in all. The Freshmen are: Lewis Fletcher, Eureka Grammar; Mary Joaquin, Danville Grammar; Lois Mayo, Los Angeles Grammar; Marshall Burrus, Sacramento Grammar; Hazel Rees, Oakland High; Paul Rafftesaech, Uni- versity Farm School; Minnie Thomas, San Rafael High;. Sophomores—Leone Nesbit, University of Pacific; Barbara Dows, Castil- eje School, Palo Alto; Dorothy Condo, Eureka High; Maud Wells, Berkeley ligh; John Fleming, Willits Union High; Grace Morse, Sacramento High; Ruth Turner, Red Bluff Union High; Ada Strawn, Sacramento High. Junior—Cora Miller, Santa Cruz High. Seniors—Bessie Joaquin, Paso Robles High; Alfred Shelton, Analy Union High; Arthur Voss, San Joe High; Adella Waters, St. Helena Union ——— Girls Last year the girls’ basketball team won the highest honors possible for them to win. The school surely wants them to do the same this year, but they cannot do so unless they have the support of the school. The Governing Board should give them their help, and the girls girls should come out to practice whenever they can possibly do so. One-fourth of a credit a year is given to those who play. The Freshmer should be unusually anxious to play, as they will receive one full credit by practicing once a week during their High School course. lma McDaniel is the manager of the team, and Mildred Madison is the captain. The team will be chosen at once, so all come out and practice at every possible opportunity. Boys Track season opened with the first week of school. Everything is going with a rush. The remaining veterans of last year’s team, together with new Freshmen material, make a very promising crew. The opportunities of new men are unlimited. Therefore, every fellow should be out training now. Even if he is unsuccessful in making the team this year he stands a good chance of making it next season, since a large number of trackmen graduate this year. Che track has been put in good condition by the hard labor of the Fresh- men and others. We have also a very good training-room, equipped with hot and cold showers, lockers and rubbing tables. yf a unit a year for athletic The faculty has decided to give one-fourth work. This will be a good incentive for all to. get out and train. [It is worthy of note that the first men out training were Freshmen. This is proof that the Freshmen have the desired spirit.

Og Om xe WS Vou, III. SANTA ROSA, CAL., OCTOBER, 1911. No. Il. The Apple and Eve HAVE always been an awful tomboy—just ask my mother— and the only thing I’m scared of is a burglar. I wonder how many girls look under their beds at night, expecting to find a burglar hiding there? For my part, | have always been afraid to look, before I have the protec- tion of the bed clothes, for fear I really would find one; so I just make a flying leap and land in the middle of the bed, then I cautiously crawl to the edge and look underneath. I never really expect to find anyone there, but I always feel safer when I have made sure. But one night I forgot to take this precaution, I was too interested in something else, and—well—let me tell you what happened. I had been away from home, visiting a school friend for a few weeks, and, when I returned I found that some big apples just outside my bedroom had become ripe. My window is just above the porch roof, and from that roof I saw that the finest of these apples could be reached, so I made up my mind that before I went to bed I would crawl out and get some! About half-past nine, when it was quite dark, I opened my window, as noiselessly as possible—for I didn’t want my family to hear me, as I knew they wouldn’t approve of such a tomboy escapade—then crawled out on the roof, slipping and sliding on its slippery shingles, until I reached the tree, where I succeeded in picking three big apples. Then I turned toward my window again, and had almost reached it, when I dropped one of the apples, which went bumping with great thuds down the roof, falling with a “squash” upon the walk below! I was annoyed, for I did not like losing a part of my booty, and I was also afraid the noise might possibly disturb someone in the room below and I would be caught. But discovery did not come from that quarter, for just as I was crawling thru the window, I heard a frightened voice from the quiet street below mut ter, “Santa Maria! It’s a burglar!’ I saw at once that the noise of the falling apple had attracted the attention of an old Irish woman, Mrs. Mahoney, and 4 THE ECHO. she, in looking for the cause of the disturbance, had seen me going thru the window, and had thought I was a burglar! I thought it a rich joke on the poor woman, but held my breath, fearing she would alarm the household. 1 listened and was greatly relieved to hear her pass, with hurried steps, down the street. Safe again in my own room, I was soon in bed and had just gotten my teeth firmly planted in an apple, when—hark!—what was that? Something was moving under my bed! Straining my eyes in the darkness, I saw to my horror someone beginning to crawl out! My heart pounded so that I nearly choked, for I would be murdered, I knew! For a second I was paralyzed with fright, then I grabbed an apple in each hand, as my handiest means of de fense, and, keeping my eyes on the shadowy figure, I unceremoniously slip- ped out on the other side of the bed, reached the door, flung an apple at the intruder, and fled down the stairs, bursting into the room where the other members of the family were peacefully reading. “There’s a burglar in my room! He was under my bed!” I panted. Father and Dick rushed out into the hall. The door bell rang violently. A policeman, followed by Mrs. Mahoney, came stumbling in shouting, “Where ei iz ’e? “Up here!” cried father from the landing, and the three men flew up- stairs and into my room, while mother, Mrs. Mahoney, and I huddled together below. Suddenly three hearty laughs reached our wondering ears. “We've got him!” yelléd Dick. “Ha, ha! Just come and see your burglar, Eva!” And down the stairs came Dick leading—my own pet collie dog! I felt ashamed of my silly fright, and everybody was laughing, when Mrs. Mahoney cried, “Shure now, an’ there’s some mistake, fur I seen a burglar a’crawlin’ in the winder and wint fur the policeman, mysilf.” I blushed hotly and tried to hide the tell-tale apple, which I still held in my hand, with a big bite out of it, and which no one had yet discovered. Dick saw my blush and the apple, put two and two together, and burst out laughing, though I mutely telegraphed him not to give me away. “Eve and the apple, again!” he howled. “Oh, joy!” and doubled up with laughter. Everyone looked at me, and I had to plead guilty and own up to my “tom-boy” trick, which they thought a huge joke. “The only fault is,” said I, “that all this resulted from the downfall of the apple and not from the downfall of Eve, this time!” —D, E. W. ’12. Just Boys © breath of wind stirred the intense heat of that sultry June day. The little village was dead to the world, and, on past the outskirts of town, against the clear outline of golden- brown hills, little wavelets of heat shimmered and glistened in their ferocity. Even the leaves on the beautiful old ¢ school-yard oak hung limp and lifeless, as though weary of their very existence; while Pippy and his mates lounged in the shade be- neath, and gazed at those far-off hills, scorched and dry. But the thoughts of those sturdy youngsters were far from those barren hills. Over and over again in their minds, they lived the life they had so happily led, only two short weeks before. They could see it now, as it lay deep and clear and cool within the shady borders of brushy willows and majestic alders that fringed its banks. They could hear the splash of some old bass as he leapt for a luckless fly among the lily pads on the other side. They could see the spring- board, with the mighty stone holding down its shortward end, and they re- membered the day Fatty had a cold and couldn’t go in, so he dangled his legs from the end of the spring-board and silently watched the fun. And they remembered how Sammy had slipped up unseen and rolled that stone from its place, and they smiled, as they dwelt on the scene which followed. In the midst of their. reverie pealed forth the discordant notes of the school-bell. The leaves above them rustled; Fatty bestirred himself, and with a long-drawn sigh, asked, “Goin’ in, Pip?” Pippy cast a fleeting glance toward the school house, arose with sudden swiftness, and with a “Come on, fellows,” dodged round the end of the long, narrow woodshed. They waited till the last marching footstep had died away, then trudged off in single file across the vacant lot, out on to the blistering hot cement sidewalk and down the little village street. Past low rambling houses, set well back beneath spreading shade trees; past the white sign-post that marked the city limits, now kicking up clouds of thick yellow dust as they trudged along, Pippy and his mates started on the long, hot tramp to the river. Now and then they stopped to feast on the wild blackberries which grew in profusion by the roadside, or vaulted the old rail fence into the orchard, only to scamper madly away, in unnatural haste. Soon they left the dusty road, crossed a dry, stickery pasture and entered their paradise of shady willows. They saw the little strip of sandy beach, the old spring-board, the old flat-bottom boat, leaking and water-soaked, the pond-lilies and rushes, and the clear, cool depths of the old pond seemed to beckon them, as it had so often done before. Not long, though, did they gaze and admire. The spring-board was soon in full play, as one after another they leapt with a mighty spring and disappeared in the depths below. That is,—all but Fatty. Only once, and a never-to-be-forgotten once at that, had he tried to dive. The shout and peals of laughter were still ringing in his ears as he climbed down the bank and paddled out to the old boat. The other fellows were sporting around in the lower end of the pond, and Fatty hung 6 THE ECHO. on to that old boat and wished he could do it, too. But he made the best of it as usual, bailed out the water, climbed in, picked up the flat picket lying in the bottom and paddled down stream . When he drifted into their midst. he looked quickly around him, and asked: “Say Pip, where’s Sammy?” Strangely enough, Sammy was nowhere to be seen, and stranger still, no one had missed him. A general discussion followed, but the mysterious disap- pearance remained unsolved. With a contemptuous, “Guess he got cold feet.” Pippy started for the shore, the others following. They went to the old apple trees which grew among the willows on the bank. But the fruit was hard.and green, so they. went a little farther down stream to where a huge bank of blackberries trellised among the willows, and here, where the warmth of the sun drifted through the foliage to the vines below, hung great clusters of luscious fruit. But Pippy and his mates weren't hungry. They grabbed-a handful of berries, turned and assailed poor Fatty who came strug- gling up in the rear, and then made a rush for the pond. A breeze began to rustle the topmost leaves of the tallest alders, tiny ripples swept out across the water, and long, dark shadows crept down the bank and out over the pond, as the sun dropped lower and lower. Fatty looked up, and with a startled, “Gee, fellers, I got t’ hustle,” and paddled away upstream. The others followed, leisurely, and as they rounded the point of willows to the little sandy beach, a pitiful sight met their gaze, for there stood Fatty, cold and shivering, while two great tears swelled up in his eyes, as, with fingers and teeth, he vainly strove to loosen a knot in his shirt- sleeve. But Fatty was not alone in his misery, and for once even Pippy for- got to poke fun at his discomforture, for it was a clear case of share and share alike. Pippy was mad. “Sammy’s work. He’ll get his, you see,” he muttered through clenched teeth, as he sullenly set to work. It was a very quiet group of youngsters that betook itself from the chill shade of those brushy willows, crossed the dry stickery pasture, and trudged along that dusty road back to the village. Each was busy with thoughts of his own—what they would do when they should catch that fellow: of what was probably awaiting them at home; of chores undone: what they might “Hi fellers!” All whirled, and saw—Sammy Chambers, standing in the gate of his father’s barnyard, complacently watching the bunch troop by. With a yell of rage they were after him. Sammy turned and fled. With a bound he made the fence, grasped the top of a picket and vaulted,—but the fence was old, the picket broke from its fastenings and Sammy landed flat on his back among his pursuers. Long before he had time to realize what was hap- pening, he found himself struggling upon the shoulders of four husky lads, and being carried somewhere, he knew not where, but a picture flashed vividly before him, as he caught a glimpse, over Pippy’s broad shoulder, of that old watering trough, and oh! how he regretted that he had just pumped it brim- ming full, Sammy was a picture of wrath itself as he crawled out of that hasty bath and wiped the water from his eyes. Backed up against that old trough, water streaming from his hair and clothes, with clenched fists and flashing eyes, he confronted that hostile group, drawn up in a circle around him, like THE ECHO. 7 an animal at bay. For a moment he could not speak and Pippy saved him the trouble with a malicious ‘Feel better, Sam?” That was enough. With a bound Sammy was upon him, and down they went, Sammy on top, while the circle closed in around them. Amid the encouraging cries of their mates the pair struggled on, the best of it resting now with one, now with the other and the result uncertain. Never had that quiet little village seen such a fight ; never had those youngsters enjoyed such a treat. But suddenly some- thing happened. That circle was roughly broken; Sammy found himself jerked to his feet, while Pippy came as far as his knees, and gazed up through the dust of battle,—into the flashing eyes of his dad. There he glanced at Sammy and saw that big black place under his left eye, and suddenly the thought struck him, “Gee, maybe Sam didn’t tie those knots, after all.” Then, he glanced around for the rest of the bunch, but they were gone. Sudden remembrance of school hours long gone by, of evening chores undone, and of paternal orders to be home early, had reminded those youngsters of what was most likely in store for them, and they hastened away, each busy with thoughts of his own, and what excuse—but fudge, it would soon stop hurting, and say—wasn't that a glorious scrap. — A.S. 12. Which ? IRLS! GIRLS! I have the dandiest plan! Let’s change this club into a political club, and get in and work for a pur- pose, instead of just having a good time. You all know that October the tenth is going to be one of the gr eatest days in our history, for just think of what it would mean, if women could vote! Thus great excitement was aroused in “The Up-to-Date Club,” as Eliza- beth Howe appeared. She was the last of the ten girls to arrive at the home of Bernice White, where the weekly meeting was being held. As Bernice opened the door to admit her guest, the latter rushed in, her face aglow with excitement, and her brown eyes fairly dancing. She was strangely fascinating, as she talked eagerly to the girls. “You all must have read of the election, and just think, girls, what we will do when we vote.” “T don’t believe in Women’s Suffrage at all, quickly announced a tall, dark girl, whom the others called Elsie. Elizabeth was prepared for a discussion, but merely said, “Why don’t you, Elsie?” “Well, because I don’t think women ought to vote.” “But why should they not vote?” “Oh, because—” Elsie stopped. Elizabeth was smiling. “I think you just say that because you know nothing about it.” Then Elsie was ready. “I do know something about it. Women do not . 8 THE ECHO. need to vote. It isn't their place to do so; let the men do the voting. Fur- thermore, the women know nothing about government, and are not prepared to take any part in it.”’ “Do you mean that men have nothing to do, besides interesting them- selves in politics. Of course, women aren't prepared to vote now, but why? Simply because they have never had an opportunity to take an active part, and therefore have taken no interest in.politics ; but you will see, if we women are given these privileges, the greater majority of women will make excellent voters. By the way, Elsie, what do you intend. to do when you have com- pleted High School and College?” “Why, marry a millionaire, and just have everything I wish, and have a dandy time.” “Well then, if all you think of is a good time and money, you never should vote, for a person of your disposition, who lives only to be popular, would never make an honest, faithful worker in politics. For my part, I intend to be a teacher, and I tell you, girls, we women have to have full political priv- ileges, before any change will come in our government. A change must come, and you know that it depends upon the younger generation whether or not that change will be a good one; and, isn’t it the duty of all teachers and mothers to educate the children in such a way that, when they are grown, they may be faithful, loyal citizens, who stand only for what is right?” Elsie, angrily, but eagerly, replied, “That may be true, but women do not know enough, and are not competent to hold office.” “They do not know enough! Well, I like that!” Bernice retorted, “On the average, don’t the girls stand higher than the boys, all through their school days? And why can not women hold office? If you knew anything of Mrs. Ella Wilson, mayor of Hunnewell, Kansas, you wouldn't. say. that. Look at what she is doing. She has a miserable council of men, who are un- der the influence of the lower classes of people, but now she will fix them, if it is in her power to do so; that is, if the governor of Kansas will help her. You say that she is one out of a thousand. How do you know? She has taken an interest in political affairs, and has lived in a community where women have not been regarded as ignorant children. Why should there not be many more such women, when they find that it is worth while for them to take an interest in current events?” “That is the idea, Bernice!” exclaimed Elizabeth. “We will prove to the world that we can rule.” “You know, girls,” said a quiet girl of sixteen, “I have always wanted to do something for the benefit of mankind, so I think the best thing will be to become an orator, and travel about, lecturing to the people.” “That is a crazy idea,” remarked vain Doris. “I think I shall just run for some small office; for just imagine what a novelty it would be, for a young lady to appear taking an interest in politics. Why, I could have more fun: [I “Oh Doris,” interrupted Elizabeth, “can’t you talk sense? If women like you should hold office, do you think the country would flourish? You would —— THE ECHO. 9 only cater to the “Smart Set,” and the whole country would go to rack and ruin.” “I do not think Doris is right, but I must say that I consider Women’s Suffrage only for spinsters.” Margaret Abbington was pleased with herself for having made such an exceedingly wise statement. Elizabeth was quick to respond. “Women’s Suffrage does not mean that at all. If you look at it in that way, then only the men who have no one to think of, and little to do, are the directors of our government. That is not true, is it? Well, isn’t it the business and laboring men who rule our coun- try? Do they neglect their business for politics? Not very many of them. So why should a woman neglect her duties, any more than a man neglects his?” “That is splendid, Elizabeth!” exclaimed Bernice. “You surely would make a brilliant orator. Margaret, you cannot deny that if women were voting, the weak-minded, easily-influenced candidates would not be elected. You know very well that the majority of women would vote for the best, and do all in their power to have the government of this country as faultless as possible. The trouble with you is, that you consider yourself far above every- body ; so wise that no one can teach you anything, and, therefore, you never will heed anything you see, read, or hear, and would vote for anyone. More than likely, it would be the best looking candidate, whether or not he were a fit one.” “Oh, girls!” exclaimed earnest Florence, who had remained silent through- out the discussion. “If this amendment should be carried, perhaps father will remain at home evenings, instead of going to all the political clubs. Maybe, he will discuss politics with mother, instead of falling asleep behind his news- paper. Then he can be a Republican, mother a Democrat, and Dick and I the Insurgents. Wouldn't that be fun? Let us change this club, as Elizabeth proposed, and at our next meeting take up the election and discuss the can- didates.” —D. J., 13.

That is true, but it is only the ultimate end. ‘True school Spirit should begin the day the student enters school and last throughout his entire school career. Many elements constitute true school loyalty. The scholarship grade and the moral standard of the school should receive first attention, for the school’s reputation for honor and efficiency rank far above anything else. Therefore, each student, in order to show his loyalty, should assume his share of the re- sponsibility in keeping these essential elements up to the highest standard of perfection. If a school has an honest and industrious student body, it has a THE ECHO. Ter foundation upon which every branch of school life may rest secure. Success is inevitable. School spirit is the most important factor in all school activities. For is it not school spirit that prompts students to take an active part in athletics, in literary and debating contests, and in everything in which the school is concerned? If it were not for the fighting qualities of school loyalty, a foot- ball game would be like a pink tea party. It makes school life worth while, it puts the snap in everything. Right here another form of loyalty is required that is also very important and that is the financial support or the payment of dues. No school activity can be a success without financial assistance, so there is no better way of rendering your school aid than by keeping your Student Body dues fully paid. If you do not do this, you can neither be con- sidered loyal nor to have the best interests of your school at heart. Give all school activities your undivided support. In rolling your snow- ball of Duty up the hill of Success, don’t let go for it is apt to roll over you and dash dwn to Failure at the bottom. Hang on until you get to the top of the hill. We want all activities on the top and three hundred of us surely ought to put them there if we put our shoulders to them. If you maintain a satisfactory standing in your school work, pay your dues, take an active part in school affairs and help carry your school to honor and victory, then comes the time for the big noise. Get out and yell your head off, you've earned it. Above all, don’t find fault; if something is amiss, make up the deficiency yourself, you are as much to blame-as anyone else. Don’t knock, but always boost. Boost, and the school boosts with you, Knock, and you rattle your teeth. NOTICE! The Echo is conducting a short-story contest. This is open to all stu- dents of the school. Four prizes will be awarded to the contestants whose productions are considered the best, by disinterested judges. The stories must contain not less than one thousand nor more than twenty-five hundred words. All manuscripts must be neatly written. Turn in all stories to Mr. Searcy on or before October 31st. On the 18th of September the students of the High School conducted, for the benefit of The Echo, a very successful bazaar. A very interesting pro- gram was rendered in the afternoon. The following numbers were given: Cornet Solo, “Love’s Response”............ miyerare amccet ne yates Huge Hadrich Wore wale, «Nie neam ohh 00s i7e sewslaan sorbents Lats wae seth Yeager Reading cA SweetiGinl Graduate wees. ace ee lho en aoe .Irene Mize Encore, “Calling Willie” RMOles 7.

A large number of Freshmen were wel- comed by the upper-classmen into the school activities. The opening num- ber of the evening’s program was the “Walk-a-round,” which took the place of the introduction committee. With all standing as they stopped, the pro- gram was carried out. Vernon King, president of the student body, gave a welcoming address, after which the students gave the school yell, “Rat te trat.” Will Lambert, captain of the track team, urged all to take part in the various athletic activities of the school. A yell was given, after which, Dor- othy Westrup, president of the Girls’ Glee Club, urged those who could sing to join the club. A song sung by the students, “Try to Make Your Neighbor Happy, Too,” was followed by an address by Weston Anderson, a repre- sentative of the school orchestra. The program was concluded by singing “The Santa Rosa High School is a Grand Old Place.” Dancing was enjoyed throughout the evening, and refreshments were served by the Mothers’ Club. The Girls’ Glee Club has been organized with Dorothy Westrup as presi- dent, and Evelyn Johnson as secretary. There are thirty members, but it is hoped many more will join. A Boys’ Glee Club is being formed and they hope to have many members. Wednesday morning, the twenty-seventh of September, Mrs. Holmes, a talented musician, favored the students with three solos: Lorelei, by Sinding; Luciade Lammermoor, entirely with the left hand, by Leschetizky ; Consola- tion, by Liszt. XS WN ATHLETICS Boys Seniors and Past-graduates vs. Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors This meet awakened considerable interest among the students. A great deal of good-natured rivalry was evident, ‘each event being stubbornly con- tested. The Seniors had hard luck from the start. Several of their men were ill, while Wilson was kept out of the sprints by a broken arm. On account of these misfortunes, the fourth night found the lower classmen victorious by two points.

Among the large crowd present, we were pleased to see so large a number of Santa Rosans. The Santa Rosa rooting section was the largest and most enthusiastic we have seen for many years. Yell Leader Lee was on the job with plenty of “pep.” He certainly showed them how we do things in Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa High won first place in the meet by a score of 68% points; Willits was second with 33 points; Petaluma third with 24% points; Ukiah fourth with 24 points; and Healdsburg fifth, with 21 points. Santa Rosa was. awarded the J. C. Mailer cup, and Willits was awarded The Press Democrat 14 THE ECHO. REPS S PAIRS OS —Photo by Shaw Lambert, Captain I. D. Steele,‘'Coach Clark, Manager cup.

Mr. Searcy has kindly consented to coach the girls, and the school expects them to be an honor to S. R. H. S.. There are not as many girls coming out to practice as the captain would like to have; but even, if the school as a whole is not going to help the girls’ team, the few who do practice will make a team of which the S. R. H. S. will be proud. Governing Board A regular meeting was held September 12, Vice-President La Due pre- siding, A communication was read from Glenn Allen, president of the S. N.S. C. A.

What shall we say? That is not the only question, but how to say the same old thing in a different way, that is the thing which confronts this de- partment every month. Ads. in the front. Why do you insist upon doing it, exchanges? You not only spoil your arrangement, but you look too cheap to outsiders. More cash is made we know, but don’t you think it looks bad?.. Ads. on the back covers are bad enough. Table of Contents. Few exchanges still fail to put in any. We would request all exchanges to be in early. Our book goés to press about the tenth of each month. Why not use a better grade of cuts, The Golden Bear, Sonoma? For an annual your book seems small. We are in hopes we will see a great im- provement in your next issue. The picture of Hancock Lake in The Siskiyou Nugget, Etna, Cal., is ex- cellent. You could improve your book by using a larger type—say 10 point. Your book shows plenty of school spirit. “The Class of ‘11 as They Used to Look,” is a novel idea. “’I1’s in 50” is a great stretch of imagination. We hope to hear from you again. The Owl, Fresno, Cal.: You have a well-arranged paper. Your cover designs show careful thought, but you have too many details. Your half- tones and other cuts are good. The Alert, Turlock, Cal. (June, 1911), is an excellent paper. You seem to come from a good school. We hope to see you on our list again. Why place your editorials before your stories, The Tokay, Lodi, Cal.? You show good spirit in your an nual. Why not try and come more often? We wish you success in your efforts towards a new school building. We have just been granted an $80,000 annex to relieve our crowded condition. Each year shows some improvements, The Pneus, Analy Union High School. Don’t fail to add an exchange department and table of contents next issue. We find no glaring mistakes in your June, ‘II, issue. Where is your table of contents, Olla Padrida, Berkeley? (Vacation num- ber.) Why place advertisements in the front? We have received better is- sues from you. We are sorry to note that your exchange editor did not look, otherwise he would have seen a few journals from our own State mentioned in the second column of our exchange department of the June, ‘II, issue. 18 THE ECHO. Lack of space required the cutting down of that department. We will do our best towards all journals sent us, in the future. The material of your Vacation number is good. Enterprise, Petaluma: Your cuts are good. The material you have is good, but for an annual you should have more. “Petaluma High School Spirit” is a story of considerable imagination, From Fort Bragg comes Breath of Ocean. What a beautiful and appro- priate name. You lack a table of contents. Your material is good. We are sorry your name was not here in time for one of our Commencement num- bers. Come again. Potpourri, Auburn, Cal.: You have a fine paper. Why don’t you try and issue your paper by the month or quarterly? We are sure you could, be- cause your annual is so good. The Wilmerding Life, San Francisco: Your paper is good. Your edi- torial is one of the best we have seen this month. Your material is good. “The Advantages of the Photoplay” is a fine article. The Lowell bi-weekly is a step towards a daily. We are glad to note your progress. _————————— As a young man was introduced to two people at the Freshmen reception he missed the names, and, turning to the first one, asked if he might have the pleasure of the next dance. Imagine his surprise when the person addressed answered sweetly: “Well, yes; but are the mothers supposed to dance this evening?” Emily Rued—Are you ever going to get married? Allison I—No; marriage is like the Bible. You know it ends in revela- tions. Miss Wirt has discovered a new chef. All persons wishing help for par- ties, dances, and clubs, will apply to Louis Towne. He can make cakes, candy, pies, salads, and all other dainty dishes. Miss O’Meara, showing to the class a picture of ancient costumes, said: “This is a picture of the costume worn by the people in Old New York. You will be astonished by its simplicity.” The class was indeed astonished at its simplicity, for she was holding up a blank page. Miss Abeel—Marion, tell the class how you draw a straight line. Marion B—When I want to draw a straight line I always try to draw a crooked one, for I never can draw just what I want. Miss Wirt (German I.)—Who always leave the room first? (Meaning the girls.) Kinley Ahl.—The one who gets to the door first. one Chester C.—Sterling knows Shake- speare well. orrest—Just because I’m a Fresh- man, you needn't think I don’t know that guy’s dead. HE IS A SENIOR, TOO Donald C. but was also enjoying a pleasant was drawing a bottle, conversation. Miss Abeel, annoyed, said in tones plainly audible above the noise of the class, “Donald, I think you had better come down here by me and bring your bottle with you.” THE FRESHMAN RECEPTION He sits apart; the dance goes on, He sadly gazes at the throng; And why? He’s lost a friend he trusted— His suspender button’s busted. Miss Wylie—Ruth, can you tell something about the “Last Days of Ruth Anderson—Pompeii; oh, he died from some kind of an erup- tion, didn’t he? Her lips he kissed, And cried, “Oh Bliss!” The maiden hissed, “You'll pay for this.” ile She spoke the truth; His fatal frolic, Laid low the youth With painters’ colic. HAPPENINGS IN ENGLISH IV. Miss O’Meara—Now, Emma, give your picture of the Mariner. Emma—Well, I think he got pale and dropped his eyes. Miss O’Meara—Charles, give your reason why the Mariner shot the Al- batross. Charles C.—Oh, I guess he wanted a souvenir. Miss Smith (Geom. II.)—Now, class, this is terrible; your work shows lack of thought. Really you don’t do any better work than my classes— baby classes. (Baby Freshies. ) 20 THE ECHO. Miss Wirt (German)—How would you decline “man?” Genevieve Collins—I wouldn’t de- cline him; I'd take the first one who offered himself. Miss Mailer (Algebra I.)—John, what do we always do with prob- lems before we get the answer? John Russell (In stage whisper)— Get them wrong. Teacher—Give me the principal parts of the verb meaning to skate. Latin shark—Shato, slippere, falli, bumptus. —Ex. CORRECT If Clark slipped upon a banana peel, how would it affect the meat market? Calves would go up, and there would be a drop in beef. LATIN TRANSLATION Dido et forte dux—Dido ate forty ducks. —Ex.

Irene C—We have two awfully cute little kittins at home; we call them Cook and Peary. Emily R.—I see—pole-cats. CURRENT EVENTS “Doughnuts” fell down stairs and bruised himself on the landing. While preparing for the bazaar, Fresher let the can-opener slip and cut himself in the dining-room. Paxton fell from a window and struck on his front porch, causing serious injury. Edna P.—Gertrude told me the other day that she thought I was suffering from brain-fag. Dorothy W.—Oh, the flatterer! Mildred Wadsworth—Oh, Heav- ens ! what could be worse than eat- ing an apple and finding a worm in it? Allison D.—Huh! Eating an ap- ple and finding half a worm in it. A youth went forth to serenade the lady he loved best; And by her home at evening, when the sun had gone to rest, He warbled until daylight, and would have warbled more, l But morning light disclosed a sign “For Rent” up on the door. Cheer up, even if you are not on top. Remember only bad eggs float. He was unprepared on the lesson Miss O’Meara had assigned: “Did you read ‘Romeo and Juliet’?” asked Miss O'Meara. “Well, I—I read ‘Romeo’!” he stammered.

Sterling—Well, perhaps you call it a $10 bill, but I’m not so well ac- quainted. Miss O’meara (to Freshie)—Why are your lessons unprepared? Herbert Mallory—Well pap was sick and ma had to take care of him and sister had to get the medicine and there wasn’t anyone to remind me to study. Chester, a Junior at High School, was very fond of studying. One day Miss Leddy asked: “Chester, how long do you spend on your Latin?” “Why, I spent seven hours on it last night,” he replied. “I’m surprised, how did that hap- pen?” “Well, I put my book under my pillow,” said Chesetr. Lines of Latin all remind us, That if we had old Caesar here, We would move, but leave behind us, Loving foot-prints on his ear. —Fx.

AN UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE EILL, here I am at last, | thought the folks never would let me come,” and my cousin Gene dropped into the seat fac- ing me, with a half-suppressed sigh. “Did you get the tickets all right?” I asked “Sure; | put them right here in my hand-bag.” i We were bound for a visit to the little village of Cyp- rus, some twenty miles distant from our home in Marquette, a thriving town in the State of Louisiana. Our trip was caused by the illness of our grand- mother, who had urgently requested Gene and me to visit her. The train began to move and we waved farewell to Gene’s parents, standing at the sta- tion door. The landscape, as seen through the car window, was typical of Louisi- ana, with its low-lying rice fields and sugar plantations of immense size with the sugar mills in the distance, suggesting dignified prosperity. After a few miles, we came to a region with a more rural appearance, and the track led through the center of an immense cyprus swamp, which caused Gene to ex- claim rapturously, “Did you ever see anything so perfectly beautiful in your life, Bernie? See the gorgeous red bird!’ She thoughtlessly waved her hand out the window, while from her wrist dangled her old hand-bag, when— snap! the strap broke and her bag disappeared. “Oh, Bernie, our tickets and our money! Vhat shall we do? I meant to mend that strap yesterday, but I forgot.” To add to our discomfiture, the conductor came along and asked for our tickets. Gene told him of our trouble, and he was rather sarcastic in his sympathy. Of course, the company’s rules and regulations had to be en- forced and we must be put off at the next station. He told us that the next stop was Canebrake and that it was seven miles from Cyprus. Presently the train stopped and we two miserable girls stepped out. It was nearly 5 o'clock and, as it was September, the night fell rapidly. Here we were in a lonely station, without money, friends, or hope of any kind. We could not telegraph for assistance, and it was too far to walk home. Walking 4 THE ECHO. the railroad track was out of the question, because w e would have to cross a long trestle, which spanned a wide morass. I am terribly afraid to cross a trestle on account of dizziness, so this plan had to be abandoned. Only one course lay before us, and we accepted it with great f ear and trembling. We must follow the road to Cyprus! Several months before, we had ridden from Marquette to Cyprus in a big wagon, and even then it was bad enough, for the roads were uneven and muddy. But I am getting ahead of my story. We started out bravely enough. At the time, G sky looking so black, and I was afraid there might be ene remarked about the a thunder storm before our destination was reached. The way presently led through a space over- run by wild grape vines. Gene turned around to see how far we had trevel- ed, when she tripped and fell headlong into a muddy pool that was in the road. I removed the offending vine and helped her sight she presented! Mud from head to foot, and she did not dare to laugh, but wiped her dirty face wit told her not to cry, because it would all come out in We had little time for conversation, because ot fixed on the road before us. |] thought I heard a slig of it when Gene exclaimed, “Did you see that lightni [ had seen it and was terribly frightened, for if tl it is a thunder storm.

Gene! Why don’t you answer?” Suppose she had been hurt, or worse still—fallen in the “beyous!” I wrench- ed with all my might, and I was free; but alas! my poor dress was badly tattered. I felt my way back to where | thought I had left Gene, but she was not there! The storm had practically ceased now, and the falling of the rain from the leaves of the trees to the ground below, was the only evidence that there had been a terrible storm. The clouds parted and out of the midst shone the pale moon. Its flickering light enabled me to discern a still object lying on the edge of the “beyou.” It was Gene, who had fainted from sheer ex- haustion and fright. I don’t know how I ever did it, but | dragged her to a spot where she could lay against the fallen tree, and dashed muddy water in her face. She opened her eyes with a shudder and cried out pitifully, “I wish | were home, Bernie.” That broke me up, and we sobbed together. We thought that it must be about 9 o’clock. Everything was deathly still and we could hear the bull-frogs croaking in the “beyou”’; their voices ranging from a shrill pipe to a deep bass tone. The fire-flies flickered here and there, and some inquisitive mosquitoes made their presence known by buzzing around us. These insects seemed to be of a very large size and there were millions of them. We beat them off incessantly, but they were perse- vering and began to settle on us. In less time than it takes for me to tell about it, our hands and faces began to swell from being bitten in so many places. Gene suggested that we put some mud on the spots. That did prove some relief and prevented us from scratching the bites when they became so burning and sore, The whip-poor-wills in the trees began their plaintive cry. Everything seemed lonesome that night, perhaps I was rather delirious, but when the bird sang “whip-poor-will,” I could see the bird shedding tears over the prospect. The sweet song of the nightingale cheered us, as we sat alone in the dismal spot with only each other for protection. We were just dozing off, when Gene whispered, excitedly, “Listen, Ber- nie! there is a lost baby crying over there beyond the bridge.” [ listened and heard the sobbing wail of a child. Gene was about to give an answering call, but I closed her mouth with my hand, for I heard another cry from the other side of the “beyou.” “Mercy, Gene, it’s a wild-cat! What shall we do? Suppose it should come near us?” Gene screamed, and the next moment we could hear the animal rushing rapidly away down the road. There was a slight rustle in the grass near us, and [thought of snakes. I noticed that Gene sat down again quickly and drew her feet up under her. When I think of all that we passed through that night, it’s a wonder that I’m still alive to tell about it. We fell asleep after awhile and did not wake up until the first faint rays of morning had streaked the eastern sky with a beautiful pink glow. We felt stiff and tired, but with the dawn of a new day came fresh hope and new courage. We laughed heartily when we saw how we looked. Our 6 THE ECHO. clothes were muddy, wet, and tattered, while our faces and hands were swollen and red. In the distance we could hear singing, and we cried together, ‘“Some- body’s coming!” The jingle of bells was heard, too, and then we saw a big four-mule team coming along the road. It soon crossed the bridge and stop- ped when the fallen tree was reached. The driver was a burly negro, who whistled when he saw us. There was another negro astride the leading horse. “Good mornin’, young ladies. You all is up early.” He was pleasant looking and we instinctively trusted him, for he was very kind to us, and when he heard our troubles he was deeply sympathetic. ‘The teamsters had been prepared for accidents and had brought axes and ropes with them. The mules were quickly unhitched, and by means of the strong ropes, in a trice the great tree had been jerked lengthwise. ‘The wagon was an im- mense one and carried a load of sugar cane. We found that they were going directly to grandmother’s home, and, nothing loath, we climbed on top of the sugar cane and chewed some of it, for we were nearly famished. After a time, we came to Cyprus and passed through the streets, singing with the negroes. We came to grandmother’s place and there stood the hired man and grandfather, who laughed heartily when they saw who was making the awful commotion. Our experiences were soon told and we were given a joyous welcome. Grandmother was quite a bit better and helped cook a big dinner in honor of our arrival. Sometimes Gene says to me now: “Oh, say, Bernie, do you remember that night?” and I invariably reply, “Well, do I?” —E. G. ’12. THE CHANDLER GAME HE girls of the Jackson High basketball team were gathered in an excited group around a tall girl, Zora Winters, the captain of the team. She was saying, “Girls, what shall we J do? Margery says that Miss de Chane will not let her play until she makes an S record in French, and you all know that Margery never will do that. She can’t learn French any more than an infant can. If it weren't for that Chandler game, things wouldn't be so bad, but I do want to win that game and the tenth is only three days away. There isn’t anyone who can goal like Margery, and, we haven't a substitute. You all know that if those Chandler girls win, we lose the cup, so we’ve got to win, that’s all “Margery is in Miss de Chane’s room crying her eyes out, but that’s all the good it will do. When Miss de Chane says a thing, she means it, and she doesn’t like basketball anyway, so there isn’t any hope.” At this, Clara Brewster, Margery’s chum, slipped away to comfort her friend, while Zora continued, “The thing for us to do is to find a substitute. Is there a fresh- man girl who can goal? Do try to think of someone.” Just then Belle Castlewood, a new girl from Wilmington High, passed the group of girls and her eyes grew bright, as she heard the word, ant goal, —2—_—_«- ¢—— 4— THE ECHO. 7 Magic word! What dear old times it recalled when she was among friends, and not a stranger. In the midst of her reverie the bell rang and the girls trooped into the study hall. After school, as Margery was leaving the study hall, she noticed that the “new girl,” as she was called, looked lonesome, so, in spite of her own trouble, she stopped to talk. Finding herself telling Belle all about Miss de Chane’s meanness and the dilemma of the team, Margery inquired, if Belle knew any- thing about basketball. “T played at Wilmington,” was the reply. “What did you play?” asked Margery, eagerly. “Side-center,” answered Belle. “Oh, how I wish you could goal,” said Margery, disappointedly. Belle thought a minute and then said doubtfully, “I used to substitute as goaler sometimes.” “Come and practice this minute,’ commanded Margery, and pulled her toward the girls’ gymnasium, where the members of the basketball team were resuming their discussion of Miss de Chane and possible substitutes. “lve got a substitute,” cried Margery, triumphantly, as she entered. “Who?” cried everyone. “Miss Castlewood,” answered Margery. The girls looked blank. Zora had always looked down on the “new girl,” because of Belle’s shabby clothes, so the substitute was coldly received. “Can you play, Miss—er—?” began Zora. “Wait a minute,” interrupted Margery, “and you can see. Come on Belle and get into my suit.” Arrayed in Margery’s suit, Belle was given the ball. Outwardly cool, but inwardly shaking with fear, she threw at the basket, then held her breath lest the ball fail to go straight, but it dropped lightly into the basket. A sign of relief was heard. For over an hour Belle practiced. Her playing was not brilliant, but, as Margery told Zora, since no one else could do so well, they must use Belle in the Chandler game. The next three days were busy ones for Belle. For over an hour each night she practiced, and the girls were beginning to feel more confident in their substitute. On the evening of the tenth, the gymnasium was crowded with spec- tators, as this game was the greatest event of the year in girls’ athletics. The girls of the visiting team were practicing before the game, when the Jackson girls came onto the floor. The crowd cheered for Jackson, and the Jackson girls yelled for Chandler. Then they began to warm up and Belle threw the ball neatly into the basket. As she aimed for a second goal, a Chandler girl bumped awkwardly into her and she fell heavily to the floor. The teams crowded around Belle, who laughed gaily and attempted to rise, but fell back with a groan. She was carried into the dressing-room and a doctor was summoned. His verdict was that Belle must remain in bed for several days. At this, a murmur of disappointment arose from every lip. (Continued on Page Nine) THREE BLOCKS AROUND (¥3 UB lay sprawled on the soft green grass. His elbows were (8) deep in the sward, and his chin rested in his hands. A deep Bi) frown was on his face. Bub was puzzled. Jed hadn't been with him very much lately. A long, low whistle floated over the campus, and Bub bounded over to where a tall, well-built youth awaited him. “Hello, Bub; you’re looking solemn. What's up?” “Oh, nothing,’ was the reply. “But | was just wondering why you never play with me after school; you always hurry right off, and say you have to go home; but you always go three blocks out of the way.” Jed looked uncomfortable. “Been spying, eh?” he asked good-humored ly. “Come,” he added, “let’s take a walk.” “Don’t walk so fast,” panted Bub, “this isn’t a Marathon, I hope.” “Oh, ’scuse me, but I was thinking of the field meet, Saturday. I was wondering if I could get a little man about your size to run errands for me then. You know I'll be busy that day. My errand-boy will have to ‘tend strictly to business; he shall have class-colors, spending money and his fare paid. Won't you come, Bub?” “Oh-h-h, me?” gurgled Bub. Then all the joy fled as he said, slowly, “Why I—I’'m afraid not. Mama is so afraid I'll get hurt.” Aad he sighed a monstrous sigh. It was terrible to think he, ‘most thirteen, had to be tied to his mother’s apron string. “Oh, Sylvia will take care of you. She said she would be glad too.” “Hurrah! Do you mean that pretty girl, who doesn’t wear rats or tight dresses? Mama will let me go now, I’m sure,” cried Bub in one breath. “Really, do you think she’s pretty, Kiddie?” “Who?” puzzled; “oh, you mean Sylvia? Hm-m-m—I think she’s a—a well, she’s awfully pretty. Can I really go? Hip-hip-hurray!’ And Bub capered all about, forgetting he was tired. The next few days were blissful ones. Bub got acquainted with all the members on the team. Jed was captain, and whatever belonged to the cap- tain was reverenced among the boys. Bub saw Jed only when the latter was practicing on the track in the evenings. Every afternoon, immediately after school, Jed always had to take his books home by the “three-blocks-around” way. He just got back in time to get into his suit, and on the track, for the first signal. One night, Jed didn’t go three blocks around. He didn’t even take his books home. He forgot all about his training for Saturday. He was cross, when Bub asked what was wrong, and he sat at his desk, trying to study an inverted Caesar. That evening Jed took Bub for another walk. It was the first since that eventful night, when he had been promised he could go to the meet. Jed’s scowl ‘grew darker and darker and his hands went down deeper and deeper in his pockets as the two walked along. Presently, Jed turned and said: THE ECHO. 9 “Say, Bub, I’m awfully sorry, but you can’t go Saturday ; Sylvia isn’t going. An unmanly lump rose in Bub’s throat, but he said nothing. The walk was finished in silence. Friday, Bub slipped away after school to the cool, green park, with his trouble. The big lumpy feeling inside rose higher and higher. He flung himself on the grass and gave vent to one big sob. Jed had said that only babies and girls cried, but Bub didn’t care now. He lay there quietly for some time, wondering what he would do the next day, when someone sat down on a nearby bench. “Why, Bub, are you here? I thought you would be getting ready for tomorrow.” It was Sylvia who spoke. Bub drew nearer. “I can’t go,” he said. “Why?” “Because you can't. Oh, I did want to go so much.” And Bub told her all. “And so you can go, if I go?” asked Sylvia. A tall boy, his head down, his hands in his pockets, was coming toward the place where they were. On hearing voices, he looked «up. It was none other than ed: He turned away hastily, but Bub called to him, “Jed, come here. I want to ask you something.” Jed came slowly. “Have you found another er- rand-boy ?” “Not yet, Bub.” Then, turning to Sylvia, he said, “Wont you please come? Bub and I want you to dreadfully; don’t we, Bub?” “You bet we do. Please go,” said Bub, hopefully. “Well (very slowly), it would be too bad to disappoint Bub, so Pil go.” That night Bub had no objection to “three-blocks-around.” Ce ee ne re aes (Continued from Page Seven) “The Chandler game must be given up,” was the thought. Suddenly, Belle cried, “Miss de Chane is here with a gentleman. Girls, go and make a final appeal. Tell her I can’t play so the game is off.” “Miss de Chane here with a man!” screamed Margery. “Who on earth would look at her? But come on, let’s ask her.” When the girls approached Miss de Chane with their request, she flushed and hesitated, but her escort said, “Oh, let the young lady play, dear. We want to see the game.”’ Miss de Chane yielded at once. Back in the dressing-room, Margery sank on the floor in a pretended faint. “He called her DEAR,” she gasped, and then ran for her suit. The game was a brilliant success. With Margery as goaler, the score was 10 to § in Jackson’s favor. The girls were filled with rejoicing, but could not recover from their surprise that Miss de Chane had-let Margery play. In the morning they received a second surprise. Miss de Chane’s engage- ment to Mr. Harry West was announced in the morning paper. Margery said that she would always thank him for the victory over Chandler High.

The time when every student realizes that he is a part of the school and that it is his duty to improve existing con- ditions about it. We are now becoming aware of the fact that what the school is and does rests entirely with us; that the su and the good name of ccess of all our activities our school depend solely upon us. The faculty lead and we follow; for have they not been over the road and learned the easy aculty can do nothing without the support of the for what can a general accomplish without a the students grasp this idea, our worst tri routes? However, the f scholars: loyal army? When als are over. That this fact is being most of us, is shown by the eager way in which all of school activities are being supported, impressed upon our Our track team, for instance. was se- —————— THE ECHO. Il lected from an unusually large number of aspirants. Their work during the past season could not be of a more praiseworthy nature, since they have won every meet that they have entered. From the enthusiastic rooting section present at the meet held in Santa Rosa, it was evident that the school as a whole was with the team in spirit. At the present time, football occupies the largest share of attention. Two full teams are at work. Although not more than two games will be played, the fellows are working as hard as if a State championship were at stake. Basketball is also being loyally supported, as a large squad is daily at work. The girls’ basketball team started the ball rolling in the right direc- tion by winning the first game of the season. Judging from the earnest manner in which these teams regard their work, it is plain that they realize that no school will support a losing team and are determined to win. The Echo has never before been on such firm footing, especially finin- cially. The subscription list is the largest in the history of the paper. The issues have been increased eight pages over those of last year. The bazaar, given for the benefit of The Echo, was a great success, due to the business- like way in which it was regarded by the students. The recent story contest conducted by The Echo proves that even the little things will not be ne- glected. Since debating has been adopted by the S. N. S. A. League, we have de- veloped several orators who are going to make other schools sit up and take notice. Our orchestra and glee club are doing excellent work. In the scram- ble for literary and athletic honors, music will not be forgotten. The Governing Board, too, has become progressive and assumed legis- lative as well as executive powers. The old Constitution of the Student Body has been found too unwieldy under the existing state of affairs, so a committee has been selected to revise it. We have shown the School Board that we mean business, and that we can do things, if we wish. Furthermore, we have proven to them that we could do much better, if we had the facilities. They have given us a new annex, for which we are duly grateful; but we want even more. We will work for it. We want that new track; we might also mention that there would be plenty of space, within the circular track, for a tennis court. As we said before, we are willing to work for all of these things. We are trying to take care of the things given us; but we are laboring under difficulties. There are a few among us who have a misplaced sence of hu- mor. Their pranks are stumbling blocks to real success. These people are to be classed with the man who rocked the boat. When people are old enough to attend high school, it is supposed that their minds are sufficiently ma- tured to realize what a school is for and how to treat school property. Some people never grow up and the school as a whole should not be judged by these few. Just a word in conclusion: let’s reform, turn over a new leaf, wipe off the slate, muzzle the “rough-necks,” or anything to keep peace in the family. If we don't, the Board will put the lid on tight, and we can whistle for our new track, During the month of October, the usual Wednesday morning programs afforded much pleasure. The numbers on the program of October 4th were: Vocal Solo, “I’ll Change the Thorns to Roses”..............

The Girls and Boys’ Glee Club gave numbers. Some members of the faculty, and of the track team gave ad- dresses, encouraging the boys who were in the team. Many school yells were given. Galen Lee proved himself to be an ener- getic yell leader. S. R. H. S. won the field day, but mention must be made of the rooting section. Not only a large number of students from other schools were pres- ent, but S. R. H. S. students certainly made a good showing. Each rooter had a megaphone and the school colors, so that the Santa Rosa High School section could not be mistaken. On Thursday morning, the twelfth, Mr, Chapin, violinist, and Mr. Hol- brook, as accompanist, favored the school with three solos.

Meet After an exciting day, the Sonoma, Napa and Solano Athletic League field meet, held in Napa on October 21, was won by Santa Rosa with a score of 65 5-6 points. Napa was second with 34 5-6 points; Petaluma, third, with 29 1-3; Vallejo, fourth, with 3; and St. Helena fifth, with 1 point. Two lea- gue records were broked, the hammer throw by King (S.

A large number of “hopes” are hard at work under Captain Wilson’s directions. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the regular practice days. The “vets” of past seasons who are at work now are Lee, Wilson, Miller and R. Jones. These, together with recruits from the “green” material, will make a good, snappy team. We would like to see each year represented by a team so that interclass games can be played. The first game is scheduled for November 24. BASEBALL Basketball was not taken up by the school until late in the season, as track work interfered with it. Several games played between the Freshmen- Sophomore team and the Junior-Senior team, proved exciting. Lee and Ma- roni pitched excellent ball, considering the practice had. All members of both teams showed up to good advantage. FOOTBALL Football was taken up after considerable debating. From thirty-five to forty men are practicing faithfully. Rugby is being played this season, and as it is new to most of the fellows, considerable time is given over to mas- tering the rules of the game. Several practice games have been played be- tween chosen teams. Manager Clark has been arranging for a Thanksgiving Day. game with Napa. IF. McConnell is coaching the boys with good re- sults. His work is appreciated by all. A. W. Scott spent several evenings at the Armory, instructing the squad in the rudiments of Rugby. Mr. Scott is a capable instructor, as he has an enviable reputation as a football player. Girls’ Athletics The school congratulates the girls on their hard-won victory over their old rival, Healdsburg High School. The game was played on October 16, and the score, 15 to 9, was not so easily won as the majority in our favor would seem to indicate. Miss Snee, who refereed the Healdsburg game, is coaching the girls, and under her training they are doing good work. The girls are now practicing in the hall, and their work shows the effect of a good floor. A double game will be played in Santa Rosa on November 24. The girls will play Analy High, and the boys’ team will play Wilmerding High. We want a good crowd of rooters at these games, as nothing helps like an enthusiastic rooting section. THE ECHO. 15 Governing Board October 17, a regular meeting was held. The manager’s report of The Echo for September was read and accepted. Fifty cents was allowed for clamps for vaulting standards. The track team, Mr. Steele, and one rubber were allowed expenses to Napa. One dollar and fifty cents was allowed for rub-down used at the N. W. S) Laamect. A regular meeting was held October 24. Official’s expenses to Napa of $1.80 were allowed. The girls’ basketball team was allowed $3.20 expenses to Healdsburg Friday. Allowed to purchase a football. The finance committee held a meeting October 26. All members were present, A motion to veto the purchasing of a football on account of the nearness of that season closing and the opening of basketball season, was carried. A motion approving of the paying of officials’ expenses to the recent field meets was carried. A motion approving of the girls basketball team’s and a chaperon’s ex- penses to Healdsburg was carried. A motion to purchase a football was seconded and carried. A motion to reconsider the veto of the finance committee concerning football was made and seconded. The motion carried. A motion to disapprove of the finance committee’s veto was made and carried. A motion to vote by ballot was carried. A regular meeting was held October 31. A motion to grant three girls their “S” was not carried as five games have not been played this season. - A motion to remodel the constitution was carried. Discussion followed as to who should compose the committee. A motion to have three members of the faculty and one from each year compose the committee, failed to pass. A motion to vote by ballot carried for above motion. A motion to have three members of the faculty, one representive from each term, one from each activity, with each having one vote, was carried. The following were granted their “S”: J. Coon, F. Argyle and A. Bet- tini. We hope by criticising, that we may help others to eliminate the con- tinual mistakes; they in turn must aid us. Hlow good it feels to pick up an exchange and find no glaring mistakes. If the editor and manager of any paper stop to consider their particular arrangement many of the mistakes would not appear. Why not try and make this department one of praise rather than of so much criticism? Try and profit by others’ advice. From Salinas City comes El Gabilan. Why continue the advertisements in the front? You have plenty of room in the back; but, of course, it may be the cash value. Your material and cuts are good. The Pohob, Elko, Nevada: Your table of contents is out of place. Do you believe in placing advertisements in the front, or do you do it for the = cash value. Several of your advertisements are missing. A few department cut headings would improve your book. Why continue stories? What ma terial you have is good. Tattler, North Div., Milwaukee, Wis. (October and November): You do not seem to realize the value of a table of contents. Your appearance when first opening your journal is that of a cheap magazine, because of those advertisements. Your general arrangement is not of the best. We are sorry to note your exchange editor accused us of plagiarism. We think it an in- justice. A well-arranged book, Purple and White, Madera, Cal. [How often do you issue your journal? Your material is good. From Marion, lowa, comes The Quill. You show improvement. Why place your editorial first? A letter addressed to the editor of this depart- ment will bring you some suggestions as to how to overcome your present financial stringency. “We were there,” and will be glad to tell you how it was overcome. The Clarion, Appleton, Wis.: Where is your table of contents? Your departments are not all represented. A business manager with two assist- ants should not have so many blank spaces among his advertising section. ! “Get out and hustle; you can get ‘em if you try. The co-operation of the staff is a fine advancement. Collegian, Texas Chicago University, Fort Worth, Texas: Your ma- terial is good. Your editorial is all that saves you considerable criticism. THE ECHO. 17 From Portland, Oregon, we received The Cardinal. What excellent ma- terial you have. We certainly admit you have a hustler for a business man- ager; but why put on such an elaborate cover if you are going to cover it with advertisements? Don’t you think they cheapen your appearance? Come again, The Bulletin, Steubenville, Ohio, is a good paper for its size. Ad.-and exchange department: You have the correct outline for a school paper. Your naterial is good. Mercury, Milwaukee, Wis.: You seem to ignore your exchanges in re- gard to advertisements in the front of your book. A few more stories and ess club “doings” would improve your literary department. Manzanita, Watsonville (October): You are an excellent representative of your section of the State. Sprinkle a few joshes among your advertise- nents. It improves their value. “ What Every Woman Knows,” makes us apple hungry. Come again. The Toltec, Durango, Colorago: You seem to show some improvement. Why let one of the faculty act as one of your literary editor? Is not your paper intended to aid students along that line? Your material is good. I‘} eshinen do be happy, Cheer up, and dry your eyes; And take advice from someone Experienced and wise. Tis hard to have to write in ink, And never make a blot; Tis hard to go to class and fail on Something you forgot.

SANTA ROSA, CAL., DECEMBER, 1911. No. IV. The Mystery of Hartford Castle HOUSE PARTY at Hartford Castle! Words cannot ex- press the joyousness of such an event, and there were NESS L many. But one in particular stands out in my memory. ER It was Chrictmas Eve, and such a night! After the hearty evening meal, Bob Courtland, our host, and my ma particular chum, called out, “Now, for the skates! and in 5 Skee 6 five minutes the girls were ready, wrapped to their chins vs in furs, with their skates dangling from their arms, and in a another five minutes the dozen merry couples were troop- ing out over the frozen snow, to the meadow lake, which had been flooded for our special benefit. Such sport as we had! The night was clear and snappy, the surface of the frozen lake perfect, and the girls were—just right! Could anything be more jolly? As our steel-shod feet glided faster and faster over the ice, our spirits rose higher and higher, until they overflowed in the jolly songs we could think of—and they weren't a few. Then came a mad race back to the Castle door, through which we burst. into the cheery hall, cheeks flaming, eyes dancing. At one end of the hall roared a great fire, which, because of family tra- dition, had not been out for over a hundred years; and tonight it was larger than ever, for the great yule log had been dragged in, and now the flames were leaping up the wide-throated chimney, and inviting us to come and warm our cold fingers at its blaze. After a few minutes at the hearth, the girls trooped away up the wide, stone stairway, to get ready for the dance, THE ECHO They were not long in returning, and, with a cry of, “On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined!” the music struck up, and away we all swung, while the spacious rooms echoed and re-echoed with our merriment. In the center of the hall was suspended a large mistletoe bough, which was the merriest and most popular spot in the room, for under it some lively struggles ensued. We danced until nearly midnight, and then gathered around the dying fire to eat roasted chestnuts and tell ghost stories. Among other stories, Bob told us that Hartford Castle itself had a mystery, for in it was a haunted-room, in which, he said, with a sly twinkle in his eyes, one of us was to sleep that very night; but he refused to tell who was to be the victim, except that it was not one of the girls. After speculating a bit upon who was the one to sleep in the “spook room,” the “goodnights” and first “Merry Christmases” were said, and we each took a candle and departed for our alloted rooms. “Your room is the tower-room, isn’t it, Steve?” questioned Bob, as we mounted the wide, old stairway together. “Yes,” I answered, “Why?” “Oh, nothing; I just wondered. Hope you sleep well, old man,” and with a friendly slap on the shoulder, Bob left me at the door of his room, while [ continued down the long, dark passage and up another flight of stairs to my tower chamber, which was quite isolated from the rest of the house. ‘This tower-room was the most unused one in the Castle, for it was very cold, with a perceptible dampness in the air. My teeth chattered as I set my candle down on the dressing table, with its old-fashioned draped mirror, which stood in a sort of a bay window, overlooking the river, that lay in frozen stillness far below. When ready for bed, I blew out my candle and opened my window, looking out upon a white-robed world, over which shone a moon, now partly hidden by clouds. As I stood there I could hear the chimes in the distant town, pealing from St. Andrew’s church, ringing’ in the Christmas morn; but as I listened they died away. An owl hooted outside, the clock in the church-tower struck one; and—what was that? a ‘ low moan and the quiet shutting of a door somewhere behind me! I felt my hair beginning to rise, and I made a dash for the bed, for I had begun to realize that I was in the haunted-room! Safely under the bed-clothes, however, my pulse gradually became nor- mal once more, and I lay quiet, listening for more unusual sounds, but in vain. Calling myself a silly fool, I turned over and went to sleep. I awoke with a start. Something was moving by the window! I rubbed my eyes and stared hard to make sure. Yes, it was a figue—the form of a woman— in filmy, trailing garments; and, as I looked, she raised her arm and slowly drew a comb through her long tresses of air. That was enough for me, and I ducked. After a few shivering moments, I became brave once more and ventured another look, in order to investigate and see whether this was a real ghost, or what the explanation might be. Yes, she was still there, quietly combing her hair; but, as I watched, the moon came out from behind the obscuring clouds, and the room became lighter. With an heroic effort I sat up and scrutinized this phantom closely. THE ECHO 7 In a few seconds I lay back on my pillow and chuckled to myself. I had solved the mystery, and was soon slumbering peacefully, and I slept until the rooks, in the rookery close by, awakened me. I was rather late to break- fast, for, when I reached the dining-room nearly all the others were at the table. Before I entered, I could hear a great chattering and giggling, but, as I came in they stopped, and all eyes were turned on me, and I divined the reason why. “Merry Christmas, everybody!” I cried. “Merry Christmas, Steve! How'd you sleep?” came from all around the table. “Splendidly, thanks,” I assured them, as I sat down. A good many ex- pectant faces fell at this response, and, after a second’s pause, Bob asked, “Didn't you see the ghost?” ’ “Yes, indeed,” I said cheerfully. “You did?” “Oh, tell us about it!’ ‘I don’t believe it!” and various other remarks were fired at me, and soon, under their eager questions, | told my experience. As I dilated upon the shadowy form, with its flowing draperies, serenely combing its hair, the members of the Courtland family looked meaningly at one another and nodded their heads. “That's the same thing poor Mabel saw, and also that little curate from St. Johns, when he slept in that room! Mabel never got over the shock, and the poor little curate’s hair turned gray at the fright he got! But you seem alright. Weren't you frightened?” questioned Lady Courtland. I laughed and frankly told them of my fright at first, and then proceeded to give them my explanations of the mystery, which was really very simple. “You see, good people,” I began, “the mirror in the dressing table in the window is an old-fashioned one, and peculiarly shaped, being hung from the top, which makes it resemble somewhat, in form, the head and body of a person. Over this is draped some soft, filmy lace, and, when a breeze blows through the window near by, this drapery is moved. When the room is dimly lighted by the moon, this is shown up in weird form. One easily im- agines it to be the shadowy figure of a woman, standing there, and as the breeze moves the drapery, it appears to be an arm slowly running a comb through long tresses of hair.” “Bravo, Steve!” This from Bob. “That seems a pretty plausible ex- planation. Do you realize that you've removed a long-standing tradition from Hartford Castle? No one else has ever attempted an explanation.” “I’m sorry to be destroying family history,” | answered, laughingly, “but if you want to preserve the tradition, you can keep mum on the expla- nation, for no doubt this ‘phantom’ will fool a great many more people; | only happened to be lucky in having some bright moonlight to aid me in fathoming the mystery.” As I finished speaking, a great door into the next room was thrown open, disclosing a largeChristmas tree, loaded with presents; and the Hart- ford ghost was soon forgotten in the far more pleasant realities of Christmas gifts, —Dorothy Westrup ‘12, From Illinois to California, in 1863 Founded on Facts HE BROWN FAMILY, living in Hlinois, had decided to immigrate to California, in the spring of 1863. They made preparations to go with a large train of immigrants, who were to start in April, so that they might reach the West before winter. When the day for departure arrived, however, Mr. Brown was engaged in financial difficulties over the sale of his home, and was unable to leave. The other immigrants started on their long journey, leaving the Brown family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, a baby and two other children, looking longingly after them. Mr. Brown settled his business satisfactorily within a week after the immigrant train had left. This was much sooner than he had hoped for, so he and two other families decided to start for the West by themselves. They realized the journey was dangerous, but hoped, by fast traveling, to over- take the large train. Nebraska City was reached in safety, but the garrison at that place advised the travelers not to continue the journey alone, on ac- count of the great danger involved. As there was a supply train going West to take provisions to some of the forts, the wagon-master promised the im- migrants the protection of his train as far as it went, if they wished to go. So the three families made a second start fo r California, still hoping to over- take their friends. Their hopes vanished, however, in a few days, for the ox teams of the pack train traveled so much slower than the immigrants’ horses had been traveling. The route lay across wide prairies and small streams, which were easily forded. The country abounded in game. Packs of wolves and small bands of Indians were occasionally seen in the distance. The Platt river was soon reached, and as it was already beginning to swell, the drivers doubled teams and hurried across, just in time. They pitched camp a little beyond this river, which was soon swollen until it was im- passable. One morning, several days later, the wagon-master was riding ahead of the others. Suddenly he turned and rode quickly back to the train and ordered the men to corral, as a band of Indians were coming to attack them. After the train was corraled and all preparations made to give battle, the foe came into sight. It consisted of twenty-four skunks, with their tails held high in the air. There was a mirage that morning and the skunks had looked, to the wagon-master, like Indians on horseback. The boss was silent after that; but the others were not. After several weeks of slow traveling, they arrived at one of the mili- tary forts. Here the pack train was ordered to unload and reload with grain, for a more-distant fort. The change was quickly made, and the journey was THE ECHO 9 then continued. One evening, the camp was made beside a small river. The wagons were formed into a corral, with the horses and oxen staked on the inside. Several men were stationed outside to keep watch. The first half of the night passed quietly enought, and the guards were relieved by others at midnight. Everyone had just settled down quietly for the rest of the night, when the oxen and horses became restless and nervously sniffed the air, and the few dogs began to growl and bark. The guards looked cau- tiously around them and tried to pierce the darkness with their eyes, but they could see or hear nothing. All was again quiet for a few minutes. Then one of the guards thought he heard the stealthy splash of a paddle in the river. He quickly passed the news along to the other guards, and soon all the men of the camp were awakened. By this time the dogs were again barking loudly. The guards withdrew into the corral, that they might have what protection it afforded, and awaited the expected attack. The minutes dragged slowly by, the dogs ceased barking, and everything was as quiet as before the disturbance. The men began to think they had heard some wild animal crossing the river, instead of an Indian. They were relaxing their vigil, when suddenly the dreaded war-whoop sounded on all sides, the dogs set up a doleful howling, and all was con- fusion within the corral. But the immigrants and drivers were immediately ready with a heavy discharge of gunpowder in answer to the volley of ar- rows, which came pouring into the enclosure. As the night was dark, the white men had hard time to hold their own, for it was difficult to see the Indians or estimate their number. After a half hour of severe fighting, dur- ing which time several were killed and wounded on both sides, the Indians jumped into their canoes and paddled off. By this time it had grown much lighter, as it was almost dawn. The wounded of the camp were cared for by the women, and the dead, five of the drivers, were silently buried by the men. All at once, there was a cry from Mrs. Brown. Everyone rushed toward her to learn the cause of the trouble, expecting to see some lurking savage sneaking away with her scalp. There was no foe in sight; but Mrs. Brown cried in an imploring voice, “Oh, my child! my baby! Where is he? Some- one find him, quick!’ There was an immediate search of the camp and of the surrounding neighborhood, but the missing child was not to be found. The only explanation for his disappearance was that some Indian, either during the attack, or while the women were busy with the wounded, had carried him away. The bereaved mother was inconsolable, although the rest of the company tried to comfort her the best they could. It was a sad party that finally broke camp that morning and started forward again. The next fort was reached without further difficulty. Here the provision train ended its westward movement and prepared for the re- turn trip, thus leaving the immigrants to continue westward alone, or wait indefinitely for another immigrant train to come along. They at last deter- mined to make an effort to complete the journey, as they had already come about half of the distance. So, bidding farewell to their late companions, 10 THE ECHO the immigrants started on the last half of their hazardous journey, hoping it would be less sorrowful than the first half had been. It was now the middle of July and the weather was exceedingly warm, which made slow traveling necessary. At one time they met a band of friendly Sioux Indians, who had been fighting the Potowatonians. ‘Their wounded were lashed on to rude litters. At another time they viewed, at a distance, the burying of a noted Indian. He was wrapped in deer and buf- falo skins and fastened on a scaffold, ten feet high. Then his ponies, seven in number, were herded around the scaffold and shot, so that he might use them in his “happy hunting ground The travelers entered Californian territory about September, and re- joiced to think they had come thus far safely. But soon after this, as they were breaking’ camp one morning, a small band of Indians suddenly con- fronted them. The men instantly grabbed their guns, but the Indian chief advanced, unarmed, showing he was for peace. He rode directly to Mr. Brown, the leader of the company, and gave him the sign of the Masonic Order. Mr. Brown, being a Mason, but greatly puzzled as to how the chief had learned the Masonic secrets, returned the salute. Then the chief, highly pleased, made known his request. He wanted certain provisions for his braves, who were returning from a long hunt, which had been very success- ful. The men of the small company held a consultation and finally handed the desired provisions to the chief, fearing their savage friends would sud- denly become enemies, if they did not do as requested. The Indians rode away Satisfied, leaving the immigrants with a very limited amount of sup- plies, but they hoped soon to be at their destination, where more could quite easily be obtained. They reached the Sacramento Valley without further adventure. They inquired of the old settlers for their friends, who had come over in the large train. After some difficulty, they located them farther south, in the San Joaquin Valley. The two parties were overjoyed to meet each other, but the larger company, having come through quite safely, were sad to learn of the loss of the youngest member of the other party. The immigrants soon drifted apart, making homes for their families in different parts of the State. Iifteen years had passed. The Brown family lived on the outskirts of the small city of Sacramento, where Mr. Brown conducted a flourishing farm. One day, while telling his experience on the plains, to a United States official, that gentleman suddenly exclaimed, “So you lost your little son fifteen years ago? I believe I have found him; and, come to think about it, he looks just like you.” “Our son! Where is he?” cried Mr. and Mrs. Brown, at once. “A band of troublesome Indians was just lately put into a reserve, in the northern part of the State,” the officer continued. “I helped take them there, and I remember of seeing a white boy with them. When questioned about him, the Indians said they had had him for fifteen years, and that THE ECHO II he had been stolen from a party of white men who were crossing the plains. But he is a regular Indian now, talkin g and dressing exactly as they do.” At this unexpected news, Mr. Brown prepared to go immediately to the reservation, and he took the officer with him. When they arrived, they found the white boy and some Indian braves amusing themselves by shoot- ing at targets. At the request of the officer, the lad was brought before Mr. Brown, who was instantly struck with the boy’s resemblance to his family. He soon proved beyond a doubt that the boy was his own lost son; first, by a peculiar scar on his arm, and also by the description the Indians gave of his capture. Of course, Harry, who had been called Shimangook by the Indians, was taken home by his father, he was very reluctant to leave his companions, the only friends he could ever remember of having. There was great rejoicing, especially by Mrs. Brown, when her long, lost son arrived at home. The lad knew very little English, and it was some time before he could become accustomed to his new surroundings. He is now an old man, and although he has told the story of his life among the Indians many times, he is still very glad to repeat it to any of his friends. er Sieber “Twilight Shadows” When Apollo’s daily task is thru, In glorious robes of crimson hue— The golden sun doth quietly set Behind the far ’way hills in the West. The dim peaks in their purple vesture, Kneel to Hecate’s powerful sway ; And, murmuring a benediction, Twilight inculcates the close of day.

The Ghosts of Dundrennan short way back from the county road, in County Monahan, Ireland, a pretentious dwelling-house stood on a_ small knoll. A hedge-bordered avenue, winding through a beau- tiful park and game reserve, led up to the house. The grey slated mansion, with its walls almost entirely hidden by a made a beautiful picture luxuriant growth of clinging ivy against a background of hawthorn trees and flowering laurel. On either side stretched the great estate, dotted by the small thatched houses of the tenants. The low stone walls and thatched roofs of the cotters’ homes made them resemble birds’ nests, as they nestled near the great vine-clad mansion. The owner of Dundrennan House, as the dwelling was called, sat in his library one morning in October, engaged in a serious conversation with his daughter, Ellen, who had just returned from being graduated from an Eng lish boarding school. “Ellen,” he began, “Doctor Halliday told me this morning that, without an operation, your mother cannot live six months. Of course, it must be performed immediately, and, as competent medical assistance is not to be found closer than Dublin, we must start for that city as soon as possible. One thing that worries me is the finding of a trustworthy person to leave in care of the estate.” “T have been expecting this news,” returned Ellen, “so I have been mak- ing plans which only need your approval. Will you trust me as care-taker of the place until you return? I will invite Flossie Martin to stay with me until Christmas. With the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Mooney, whom you trust in everything, I’m sure I can manage. Please try us, father !” After some hesitancy, Mr. Howden consented. When the final prepara- tions for the journey had been made, she waved a last goodbye to her pa- rents, as their carriage disappeared around a turn. As she retraced her steps to the house, she planned her work for the three months, during which her parents were to be absent. She had sent an invitation to her friend to spend those months with her, so she expected her arrival at any time. She plunged into preparations for her chum’s visit with all the joyful anticipation that her anxiety over her mother’s illness would permit. Ellen drove to the station in her own little jaunting car, on the next afternoon, hoping that her chum would arrive. Flossie was waiting and waved a welcome as Ellen neared her. When the greetings were over, and the girls were on their way to Dundrennan House, Flossie was informed that she and Ellen were practically mistresses of all the estate for a short time. She was pleased with the prospect of three months of fun, so entered joyfully into Ellen’s plans. They gave Mr. Mooney, the old servant, in whom Mr. Howden placed implicit trust, full authority in all matters about the estate, and installed Mrs. Mooney as commander-in-chief in the house. THE ECHO 13 Only a short time elapsed before matters were running as smoothly as when the owner of Dundrennan had directed them. Since the girls were among the servants a great deal of the time, di- recting them, they overheard much of the workers’ conversations. They were surprised to find that the servants were superstitious to the last de- cree, for nearly all of their conversations were of ghost stories and weird tales of witches. Many of the incidents related seemed to have happened at Dundrennan House. They noticed that one bright girl, Norah Mooney, seemed to lead the others in telling such stories. Her tales of ghosts and witches always had the power of making one shudder, and were usually of a strange and uncommon character. This observation surprised the girls, who thought that Norah, of all others, was not superstitious. One of her stories was more interesting to the girls than the others, because the ghost, of which she told, was identically the same as the fabled “Ghost of Dun- drennan,” about which Ellen’s father had often told her. He had said that stories of this phantom had been circulating among the tenants for several years. ‘The superstitious servants, upon seeing the mistress of Dundrennan, in one of her sleep-walking spells, ranging about the house, had been terror stricken, and had circulated a lengthy account of this “Ghost of Dundren- nan.” In the heated account of her adventures with this phantom, Norah had begun: “Sure, an’ I heared a stilthy stip a comn’ down the hall. I knew what to ixpict, fur hadn't thet viry ghost ben comin’ iviry night fur a year? Surean’ | ducked undther the quilts an’ waited. Scratch, wint her claws, and sure an’ in she walked. I seen her as plain as day, with her head in a napkin hangin’ from her claws, which | declar were two fate long. She come to the bed, whar | hed me head hid in the quilts, an’ sure an’ this is what she moaned: ‘Beware!, Norah Mooney, Beware!’ an’ out she goes with her arms a-floppin’. | seed her as plain as day, an’ I didn’t unciver me head until I was sure the crathure was gone.” The girls couldn't hardly repress their laughter over the incredibility of the story, and the gaping wonder of the servants, upon hearing it. They determined to find the causes of these weird tales, and to see why the ghost of Dundrennan still patrolled the halls. They questioned the servants sharply, but learned nothing from them, except that they agreed with Norah, that “there sure is some funny crature aboot.” That evening, as Ellen was braiding her hair before the mirror, prepra- tory to retiring, she saw, reflected in the mirror before her, a white, headless figure. Something round, tied in a napkin, was clutched in fingers a foot long. Wheeling quickly about she found that the phantom had disappeared. She heard the sound of running feet, and, hurrying to the open door, she was just in time to hear a door at the other end of the hall close softly. She described the queer occurrence to Flossie, but was laughed at for her pains, and accused of growing superstitious. Nevertheless, she became half con- vinced, as Ellen talked to her, and finally consented to join Ellen in the thorough search of the upper hall, which she planned to make the next day. Although neither of the girls could quite explain why, they agreed that 14 THE ECHO they would feel better, if they were sure that Norah were not in the house while they made their search, so, presenting her with a six-pence, Ellen told her she might have a holiday. After the servant girl had set gaily off for town, the hums began their systematic search of the upper hall. Of course, there would be no need of examining their own room, or the guest room, but there were three rooms at the other end of the hall, which they decided to search. The first, the bathroom, yielded on clue. A search of the second guest chamber was unsuccessful. The other room was a vacant closet, which had been used for a store-room. Ellen was just about to close its door with a sigh of disappointment, when she remembered that that door at the other side of the room opened on to a flight of dark narrow stairs, leading to the servants’ quarters. Flossie insisted upon leading the way down the dark stairs, which were no better than a ladder. Groping for the handle of the door, which blocked her way at the foot of the descent, she turned it, to find herself in a little room, which she recognized as that of Norah. For some mysterious reason, the girls felt that they had found the clue which they sought, so, although it gave them a guilty feeling, they made a careful investigation of the room. With a gasp, Flossie held up a pumpkin, tied in a napkin, which she had found in the bottom of of the closet. The girls looked at each other for a moment in wide-mouthed amazement; then, with a peal of laughter, both collapsed on the bed. How plain all the puzzling things were now. They understood why Norah had had such weird tales to tell. She told her stories in the day-time as fast as her imaginative brain could frame them, and then she enacted them at night, at the expense of the superstitious servants. Norah had noticed, by the questions which the girls had asked the day be- fore, that they were puzzled b y her stories, so she decided to try her pranks on them. She had made her way up the narrow flight of stairs, with which she was doubtless well acquainted, and, choosing an opportune moment, had made her appearance before Ellen. When the girls had recovered from their mirth, they found, upon further examination of the room, a sheet hanging in the closet; and, another dis- covery, ten long tubes of paper, sent them into another gale of laughter, for thep recognized, in the innocent rolls of paper, the phantom’s fingers, which “I declar were two fate long.” The girls were trying to think of a way to pay Norah in her own coin, when a letter came for Ellen, bringing the joyful news that the operation on her mother had been successful, and that the patient showed signs of im- provement. In her joy, Ellen forgot all about the ghost question, but began to plan a celebration of the good news by a Hallowe’en party. During her preparations, she was reminded of Norah’s escapade by hearing that in- dividual relating another of her thrilling tales. Just two nights before the eventful evening, while trying to think ot some amusement for Hallowe’en other than the age-worn trick of biting a swinging apple and “ducking” into a tub of water for a coin, Flossie cried, “Ellen, come here, quick! I’ve a scheme; we can kill two birds with one stone—put an end to Norah’s raids, and have a jolly good ending for our THE ECHO 15 party.” A whispered conference followed, after which Ellen gave Flossie a squeeze that left her gasping, and exclaimed, “Flossie, you’re sure too smart to live.” The guests for the party, seven of the girls’ school friends, arrived in a body, and were met at the station by two elated hostesses. Oh, what fun those girls had! But Ellen and Flossie could hardly wait for time to retire, for they knew that then came the crowning event of the evening. After the refreshments had been served, Ellen hurried the girls up into her room, where she told them the story of the raids of the “Ohost of Dundrennan.” “We are going to give her her own medicine, aiitd have some fun out of it, too,” she said. “I have sheets, detached heads, and fin- gers ‘two fate long’ for all of you. We will go down to her room, and,’ she added, laughingly, “I hope she is standing before the mirror.” After the girls had donned their queer apparel, they stood laughing at one another for some time, before they could trust themselves in the hall. Ellen had just closed the door noiselessly, after the girls had gone out, when she heard a door close softly at the other end of the hall. “She’s coming to scare us, girls,” she whispered. “Come on, quietly.” The hall was very dark, so the lone phantom was in the midst of her counter- parts before she saw them. For one moment she stared, horrified, at the girls. Then, with a cry, “Lord, prasarve me!” she turned and fled down the stairs. The headless Ghost of Dundrennan was not heard from again after that night. —V.L.

Cousin Jerry LAINE, anxious to know whether she might accept her chum’s invitation to spend a month in Berkeley, hurried “at into the house with her letter. Having lived all her life 4 near the little village of Three Corners, which was many miles from any large city, Elaine was eager to see the world, and this visit to Berkeley would enable her to see a part of it. When she entered the kitchen, where her mother was busy preparing dinner, she was immediately asked for the sugar for which she had been sent to town. In her excitement over her chum’s invitation, she had for- gotten about the sugar, so she was forced to make another trip to the store. As she hurried along, she wondered whether she would be able to persuade her parents to let her go to Berkeley. She knew that her mother would ob- ject to the long journey, which she would have to make alone; but, as she had never traveled, Elaine thought it would be the more enjoyable to go alone. This was Elaine’s idea, but when she returned home and spoke of the visit to her mother, the long journey was the only obstacle in the way. However, Mrs. Carlton did not refuse to allow her to go, but said that they would wait and consult Mr. Carlton in the evening. Elaine spent a restless afternoon, but evening finally came and with it, Mr. Carlton. Elaine spoke of Adeline’s invitation at the supper table and that her mother did not object to the visit, if it were not for the long journey alone. Her father said nothing until she had finished, and then remarked with a sly smile that he did not think it a good idea for a little girl to travel alone. “A little girl, Daddy? Why, I’m nearly eighteen, if I’m not very large!” exclaimed his daughter. “So you are, Puss, but you are a child in worldy experience, and you would be with every class in a railway car; but let your mother decide. If she thinks that you can be trusted not to get into trouble, I see no reason why you should not go,” and Mr. Carlton turned to his paper with the air of one who ruled the house. Elaine was wild with delight and danced around the room until her father reminded her that she was “nearly eighteen, if not very large.” Then she followed her mother into the kitchen, where she asked Mrs. Carlton’s consent. This was quickly given, because Mrs. Carlton never objected to any plan to which her husband consented. Elaine immediately began to plan a new dress for her visit and the next few days were busy ones for Mrs. Carlton and her daughter. A letter was sent to Adeline, saying that Elaine would arrive in Berkeley the following Tuesday, and requesting that she be met at the station. Then the days seemed to fly by until Elaine found herself at the station, saying goodbye to her father and mother. Then she realized, for the first time, that she THE ECHO 17 would miss her parents and the tears came into her eyes, but she quietly hid them and, when her father left her in the car, she waived a cheerful goodbye from the window. Now, that she was really started, Elaine settled her flowers, candy and books and looked at the strange faces. She noticed in particular, a young man, across the aisle, whose features seemed strangely familiar. She soon forgot him, however, and turned to look out of the window. The scenery was uninteresting, as nothing could be seen except the fields of ripening grain, and these were so familiar that Elaine opened a book and started te read. Soon becoming interested in her story, the morning passed quickly. About noon she finished her story and opened the dainty lunch, which her mother had prepared for her. While eating, she again looked at the land- scape. The scenery had changed and she saw the rugged foothills of the Coast Range mountains, whose hazy summits seemed very far away to Klaine. While looking at the mountains, she wondered if the scenery were different on the other side of the track. She looked across and gave an in- voluntary cry of delight. The ocean in all its grandeur lay before her, and she watched the waves with ever increasing delight. Many of the passen- gers smiled at Elaine’s enraptured face, and even she noticed the amused face of the young man across the aisle. Later, she studied him secretly and decided that he must have traveled a great deal, because of the bored ex- pression on his face and his lack of interest in the ocean. The rest of the afternoon wa s spent by Elaine in watching the ocean, of which she caught glimpses from time to time; but about three o’clock a new diversion arose. The train stopped with a sudden jerk, which threw many of the passengers violently against the seats in front of them. The men instantly left the car to discover the cause of the train’s being stopped so. suddenly. Several of them soon returned and reported that they had narrowly escaped running into a freight wreck. At this news, all the ladies, including Elaine, left the car to see the wreck. As Elaine went down the steps, the young man, whom she had noticed across the aisle, asked if he might be her escort to see the wreck, since he had noticed that she was alone. Attracted by his courteous demeanor, Elaine forgot her mother’s command that she must not talk to strangers and accepted. When Elaine reached the wreck, she was struck with horror at the narrow escape of their train from a similar fate; and indeed, the scene was one of terror. The engine lay on its side across the track. Treight cars were torn to pieces and others were derailed. The engineer lay dead nea: the track and the fireman, with one arm in a sling and his head bandaged, sat near him. Elaine’s companion, who gave his name as Mr. Hamilton, told her that no one else had received injury, but Elaine thought this was bad enough. As she soon tired of tne wreck, Mr. Hamilton suggested that they sit on the bank and watch the laborers clear away the wreck. Elaine consented, and soon found herself telling Mr. Hamilton all about her home and friends in Three Corners. In return, he spoke of his travels and described French 18 THE ECHO life so interestingly that Elaine thought him quite the nicest man whom she had ever met. In a couple of hours the wreck was cleared away and the passenger train started on. Elaine and Mr. Hamilton were sitting together, and she found out that her companion lived in Berkeley, where his father owned a store. The rest of the trip was made very pleasant by her companion’s tales of the Continent, and when Berkeley was reached, both were sorry that their acquaintance must end. As they said “goodbye,” Mr. Hamilton expressed a wish that they might meet in Berkeley, and Elaine secretly echoed the wish. When Elaine descended from the train, she expected to see Adeline waiting for her, but was greatly disappointed, nor could she find anyone who had come to meet her. Much perplexed as to how she would be able to find her friend’s home, she was very glad when Mr. Hamilton approached and asked if her friend had failed to meet her. “Adeline has not come and I have not the faintest idea how to reach her house,” answered Elaine, impetuously. “Adeline,” repeated Mr. Hamilton. “It cannot be possible that you are speaking of my cousin, Adeline Payton?” “Indeed, I am,” answered Elaine, “but I did not know that you were her cousin. It is queer that I have never heard her mention you. I| thought that her cousin, Jerry, was her only cousin.” “But [ am her ‘Cousin Jerry,” replied Mr. Hamilton, laughingly. “You!” cried Eleain, in astonishment, “why, I thought her ‘Cousin Jerry’ was a great deal older than you are?” “T may be older than I look,” laughingly responded Cousin Jerry. “As [ am going up to Adeline’s house now, perhaps you will allow me to escort you?” “T certainly shall,” answered Elaine, “and I am greatly relieved at such an easy way out of my difficulty.” When Elaine and Mr. Hamilton reached Adeline’s home, that young lady was very much surprised, as the railroad officials had told her that the train which Elaine had taken would not arrive until the next day. To say that she was surprised at Elaine’s acquaintance with “Cousin Jerry” would be stating it mildly, and she was greatly relieved that Elaine had not suf- fered from the delay, which the wrecked freight train had caused. When Elaine described the wreck, Adeline shuddered with horror and exclaimed, “Oh, Cousin Jerry, how lucky it was that you were on the train, for, of course, Elaine would not have talked to any other man!” Mr. Hamilton laughed, but Elaine blushed hotly, and secretly resolved that it was all right to talk to strange men, if they looked like gentlemen. She was relieved to know that Mr. Hamilton was a cousin of Adeline, so that her mother would not scold; but she knew that she would never forget her first journey alone. —H. B. ’t2. Bobby’s Advice ‘Tis the night before Christmas, In the Brighton household ; When Bobby, the youngest, Makes plans, oh, so bold! His brothers are sleeping; His sisters, downstairs; His parents, out calling, When wise Bobby declares,— “T haven't many presents For any 0’ the folks; But maybe they’d like ‘em better, lf | played a few jokes. “Tl get up in the morning, While the rest are asleep, And gather all my bundles Into one little heap. “T’ll find mother’s white fur And Sis’ red dress, And make me a suit of them, An’ be fit for the press. “Then gather up the bundles And go to every one, And give them my presents, With greetings; won’t it be fun?” Early on Christmas morning, 3obby awakes with a start. “If I want to have any fun, I’ll have to be pretty smart.” He hustles around As quiet as a mouse, Gathering little playthings From all over the house. He puts on Betty’s dress, And, with a muff on his head, And his bundle of toys, He goes to every bed. THE ECHO l‘irst, to his parents, Ile tiptoes in glee; They both are soundly sleeping, So to work he is free. Then, he finds their stockings, And hangs them on the bed; Then, ladens them with toys, Nuts, candy and his Ted. With a bright, “Merry Christmas,” He runs through the door; This plan he then repeats Till he awakens many more. All wonder who this Attle Fairy can be, And tear through the house n the greatest of glee. When they come to small Bobby, They find him asleep, Upon his small bed, In a red and white heap. They gather about him And shower him with toys, That always are given To good little boys. Young Bobby then spends Such a glorious day, That in the evening He is eager to say: “If you want a nice Christmas, Of yourself never care; But think of all the others, And much better you'll fare. “Tor everyone loves Good, unselfish boys, Who think more about giving, Than receiving nice toys.” —D.

Time rolls its ceaseless course and awaits for no one. So, since Time will not wait for us, we must keep pace with it. How many of us have run a “dead heat’ with Time this term? How many of us feel that we are the better prepared for our struggle in later life? Have we accomplished anything? Have we put forth our best efforts? A glance at our semester report cards will partially answer thesé questions. The instructors grade us according to what they think we know. We may or may not fulfill their estimation of us; only we ourselves know that. This is an age of the survival of the fittest. Life is a struggle from the start. An education is merely a weapon which will aid us in the final strug- gle. The outcome of this contest may be “curtains” or bouquets,” depending 4 =) THE ECHO 25 upon our fighting qualities, which can be perfected only by diligent applica- tion to our school work. We do not wish it to be understood that we think a student should make a grindstone of himself; sit in school “like his grandsire cut in alabaster,” and answer questions with the precision of the dummies that play the title roles ina Punch and Judy show. Too close application to one’s work makes him a “dead-head”; it would take the life out of a live wire. He becomes “saturated” with knowledge; but, in the meantime, he has lost his self-de- pendence and is devoid of common sense. He relies entirely upon his books and tells you Shakespeare’s opinion of a subject rather than his own. Now, do not think that we are taking the side of the people, who, by diligent “fishing” from the well-known “bluff,” manage to hook a diploma at the end of four years. We believe in the doctrine of a appy medium. The proper amount of good, hard study, the practical use of common sense. D and a little fun now and then constitute an agreeable dose. (The above for- mula must be mixed carefully; too much fun often results isastrously. ) Wh ile we are in school, we are building the foundations of our lives. Then, why not do it-thoroughly? It doesn’t cost anything, and it certainly is worth the while. We should regard an education as a debt we owe to our- selves. At the close of each term we should feel that we have benefitted ourselves as well as others, by making practical use of our knowledge in all branches of school life. A large part of the benefit derived from school work can be secured by participating in school activities. Many of us have realized that it is our duty to do as much as possible for ourselves and the school. As a result of our efforts, we have made a success of all our activities. Let the good work continue for another term is coming, NOTICE The Echo will be published the usual number of times this year—four issued this semester, and six next spring. Owing to postoffice regulations, The Echo management was unable to publish five numbers during the past semester. The fifth number will be issued, by the present staff, immediately following vacation. All term subscribers will get their last number at this time, From the beginning of the term, the school has entered in to the spirit of the school activities. Much interest was shown in the usual Wednesday morning programs, and we have often enjoyed some numbers from the tal- ented musicians of the town. With the help of the faculty and Mrs. Mills, the supervisor of music, the students have enjoyed several entertaining talks from some of the influential men of Santa Rosa. A Glee Club was organized and the school has been favored with many musical programs by it during the term. Mention must be made of the school orchestra, composed of Wes- ton Anderson, piano; Will Bagley and Lester Smith, violins ; Ragan Talbot, clarinet, and Hugo Hadrich and Paul Tremblay, cornets. We enjoyed their many selections during the term. A month after school had started, the Mothers’ Club, with the help of the Student Body, gave a reception to the Freshmen. The students cer- tainly showed their school spirit here. This occasion was one which could long be remembered by one of the largest crowds which has ever attended an affair of this sort. The rallies that were held before the field meets and basketball games showed no lack of spirit. All the students showed their interest by entering enthusiastically into the school’s yells and songs, led by Galen Lee. Much interest has been taken in debating this term. A debate took place on Monday afternoon, November 27th. During the afternoon vocal solos were rendered by Tillie De Bernardi, singing “Steadfast Love,” and Paul Cochrane, one of the graduates of the June ‘11 class, sang “Going Back to California,” and for his encore, “Shoogy-Shoo.” During the evening of the 27th of November, an entertainment was given to the Mothers’ Club, in appreciation of the interest which the mothers have shown in the school. The assembly hall was filled with the mothers, fathers and friends of the students. An interesting program was rendered by the talented pupils, consisting of the following numbers: (Ey) Baie EY Sodan oe pee oacomest omoorM acount “um OS oom oe Braga (los) SABy KbbantealCRStal et os eto eke GOL on orem bh noohtendigei thntento ucracoe Our Lange Orchestra THE ECHO 27 Vocal Solo, “Goodngasht, Little Girl, Goodnight”.......%:0........5 2.

In honor of the athletes of the Santa Rosa High School, the Mothers’ Club, with the assistance of the Student Body, gave a dance. A large num- ber of students attended, and during the evening a burlesque on the athletics of the school was given. Mr. Searcy, our principal, and three boys, Galen Lee, Will Lambert and Roy Miller took part. They were dressed as clowns and were masked. Each branch of athletics was burlesqued. The basketball game was a feature taken off well. The relay race caused considerable ex- citement. The floor being slippery, caused the burlesquers much trouble, yet created considerable fun for those watching them. Dr. Anderson, a former graduate of the Santa Rosa High School, gave a most interesting address to the students, after which dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. oF Santa Rosa High School is well represented at the big Universities.

It will be of interest to both the Alumni and the Student Body of the Santa Rosa High School to know that a former pupil of this school is to compete in the great Olympic games, to be held in Stockholm. Howard Dignan, a graduate of June, 1906, is the gentleman on whom this great honor has been conferred. Mr. Dignan, now a student at Johns Hopkins, spent the past summer abroad. While in Germany he joined the Verein in Munich. The constant success with which he met as a member of this ath- letic organization won for him a place in the most-honored athletic contest known among civilized nations. THE FALL TRACK SEASON Santa Rosa proved herself to be invincible in track athletics the past season, by carrying off both meets by overwhelming scores. The team suc- ceeded in annexing two cups, fourteen gold medals, ten silver medals, eleven third-place medals, relay medals, and several fourth-place medals in the N. WS: meet, Lambert and Wilson lead the team in the number of medals won, each having four gold medals to their credit. Lambert can put the shot, broad jump and pole vault equally well. He is our best all-around athlete. Wil- son has made nearly a clean sweep of the sprints during the past season. Bettini has also made good in these events. Clark has lived up to his repu- tation by carrying off first honors in the quarter, in the S. N. S. A. L. meet. Chapman, Miller, Cameron and Slyter have all been point-winners in the mile and the half. Gore carried off three first-places in the hurdles, and stands out as one of the best hurdlers the school has produced. King showed that he is still improving by breaking the S. N.S. C. A. L. record in the hammer throw. He also won first honors in the N. W. S. L. meet. The team as a whole has exceeded all expectations. Mr. Steele has made it possible for Santa Rosa High to carry off all these honors. He has been untiring in his efforts as coach to turn out a winning team. Mr. Steele deserves much praise for the success of his men. His work is appreciated by every member of the school. BASKETBALL The boys’ team played their first game of the season on the evening of November 24. They played the Wilmerding team to a standstill, in spite of the latter team’s rough tactics. They made our team hustle in the first half; but our men made a great finish and won by a score of 19 to 15. re On December 9, the boys defeated the Analy team to a tune of 38 to 15. The score at the end of the first half was 19 to 5 in our favor, and 19 to 10 in the second. Judging from these games, we are “all there” when basket- ball is considered. yf e THE ECHO 31 FOOTBALL Santa Rosa High played their initial game of Rugby football on Satur- day, December 19. The team put up a very creditable exhibition, easily de- feating the team from Napa High. The Napa team has played several games and gained much experience which our team lacked. In spite of this, our team played all around their opponents, winning by a score of 18 to 25 in the first half the score stood 5 to 0. In the second half our backs got busy and did some clever passing which netted us three more scores. Clark, Lam- bert, Bettini, Argyle and Maroni played a very clever game. A return game will be played in Napa. On Christmas day, a team com- posed of college boys will play the High School team. Fred McConnell has coached the players and much of the credit of their success is due to his work. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ basketball team has done very good work this term. Miss Snee has been coaching the girls, and their playing has improved steadily. The captain wishes to thank those girls who have practiced faithfully, even when they knew they could not make the team. Two games have been played this season, S. R. H. S. winning both these. The first game was played with Healdsburg on October 16 on the Healdsburg floor. The game was a close one, the score being tied many times, and Healdsburg sometimes being ahead of Santa Rosa. At the close of the first half, the score was 6 to 5 in our favor, and the total score was 15 to 9 in favor of S. R. H. S. This was the first time Healdsburg had been beaten by Santa Rosa on her own ground. The lineup was as follows: Goalers, Alma McDaniels (manager), and Mary Coleman; centers, Ida Hay- nie, Janette Madison and Clara Churchill; guards, Mildred Madison (cap- tain), and Alice de Bernardi. The second game was played November 24, with Analy Union High. The Analy girls’ team-work was much better than ours, but their goalers were not sure enough, and our goalers were able to run up a larger score. The girls had not practiced together as a team, and their playing showed it. The score was 10 to 5 in our favor. The lineup was as follows: Alma McDaniels and Grace Bradford, goal- ers; Ida Haynie, Janette Cooper and Helen Nagle, centers: Mildred Madison and Ruth Schultz, guards. With Apologies to Longfellow He stood on the bridge at midnight, As soused as anyone; And two moons rose over the city, When there should have been but one. Debating Never before has debating played as important a part in our school work as it does today. It has been placed among the other activities in the S, N. S.C. A. L., and a debator may now work for his “S” as well as an athlete. This means that the school’s best debating material must be brought forward each term if we are to reign supreme in this, as well as in other league activities. ‘The value to be derived from a debate is prob- ably greater than that to be obtained from any other line of school work. The hours spent in preparation, reading and taking notes upon the ques- tions under discussion, the ability to get up and state the argument for either side of the question, in clear and logical manner, and to prepare for rebuttal, all combine to overcome that old feeling of stage fright, so com- mon on Friday afternoons, or the last day of school, especially in grammar school debating; it is not essential that one should always win a debate or an “S,” and yet so many hang back, saying they cannot win, so what’s the use trying. The preparation and effort put forth by one who has never tried before are worth far more to the beginner than the medal is to one who has overcome all obstacles by perseverance. Who knows what ma- terial may be in the school, which, if given the opportunity, may develop into debators and orators of no mean ability. We have lately had an. ex- ample of this in one of our own pupils. Who thought for a moment that the terror of the freshmen boys, the prosecuting attorney of the boys’ base- ment, could debate? Yet in his first debate he was chosen alternate for the team when pitted against the veterans of the school. Of more than passing interest and importance is the coming debate with Analy. In the preliminary work, the first debate was held a few weeks ago. Eight debators participated; of these, Ruth Wright, Jesse Lingen- felter, Douglas Cameron, Hattie Brand, Chester Case and Viola Lockhart were chosen. These, on Monday afternoon, November 27, debated upon the question, “Resolved, that nations should lessen their armaments and sub- mit their disputes to international arbitration.” Both sides of the question were ably supported and much interest was shown. Father Cassin, Rev. White and Mr. Dunbar acted as judges, and rendered the following decision: Chester Case, Hattie Brand and Ruth Wright to compose the team, with Douglas Cameron as alternate, in the debate with Analy. Miss Dorothy Westrup acted as chairman of the occasion. The Analy debate was held in Sebastopol, December 5, up on the question given above, the same as in the preliminary work. About a month ago, those interested in debating, held a few meetings for the purpose of forming a debating club. Owing to the lateness in the term and other reasons, no definite action could be taken. However, mat- ters were fully discussed and at the beginning of next term a debating club is to be organized, which may roughly be sketched as follows: Officers will be elected, regular meetings held, a constitution and by-laws will be adopted, regular practice debates held, and everything done which may serve as an aid in the interest of the debators. Everyone in the club will be given THE ECHO 33 a chance to do his best, a record will be kept of all the work done, and a certain amount of credit will be given to all who do their part. A good beginning has been made by the nominations for debating representative on the Governing Board. Now, in conclusion, at the beginning of next term let everyone turn out and help us form a debating club, from which indi- viduals may obtain all possible benefit, and of which our school may be proud. GOVERNING BOARD A regular meeting was held November 14. A communication from the Mothers’ Club was read. The Echo report for October was read and accepted. A motion to have a committee of three appointed to confer with the Mothers’ Club in regard to the communication was passed.

CBE ex CH 9. fer ee ea eee MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR is our wish to all our exchanges. We hope you will all continue to advance your school papers; starting the new year in the right way. Editors, do you expect a good exchange department if you do not crit- icise journals sent to you? This department has sent a large number of journals to various schools, but has failed to receive any criticism. We are far from perfect and earn- estly invite honest criticism from all. We expect a still greater number of exchanges to criticise in the Jan- uary issue. A few exchanges still fail to state from what places they come. Advertisements are held to different rules in different sections of the Union, as is shown in looking over the exchanges. We think, however, that it is always best to place them in the back of a journal, especially a school journal. rom Painesville, Ohio, comes The Anvil, a small, but young in years, journal, You are laboring under heavy lines are you not? Get the right influence behind you and you cannot fail. Get hustlers for your staff; get up such an interest that you are boiling over. Try it. The Pioneer, New Orleans, Louisiana, (October.) Don’t fail to criti- cise every exchange. If you cannot do it in one issue, wait until the next one. You show interest, but it could be stronger. Your material is good. Durango, Colorado, sends The Toltec. New cuts are needed. How about advertisements in the front? Your material is good. Another new member on our list is The Racquet, Portland, Me. We knew you were from Portland, but could not determine if it was Maine or Oregon, until we turned to the fifteenth page. You have a good arrange- ment. Why not criticise instead of simply mentioning so many of your vari- ous exchanges. Your material is good. From Santa Cruz comes the Trident. You have an excellent arrange- ment. Your stories are all interesting as are the other departments. Your THE ECHO 35 cover is “nifty .” Your Smile columns are good. Did you not receive The Echo for October from us? If so, why no criticism? The Sotoyoman, Healdsburg, Cal.: Do you not think in would improve your journal by using a light-face line for a margin heading, leaving those out at the bottom? Try and make your paper have a brighter appearance. Care should be taken concerning ads. on the front cover. The stories are good, as is your Josh department. From Escondido, Cal., comes The Gong. Your paper represents what appears to be a lively school. A few department cuts would improve your book. Your Josh department is good, but don’t you think it is a little too personal? Your material is up to the standard. The Hilltop, Jersey City, N. J.: You come from a thriving school. By cutting the ads. from the front of your journal you would greatly improve your appearance. Your literary material is good. The Oak, Berkeley, Cal.: Credit is due your school, as is shown by your paper, for a great deal of spirit. You put forth something new to school papers. How nice it must be to be able to print your own book with- out marring it with advertisements. Red and Black, Tampa, Fla.: Your advertising department covers more pages than the literary material. Why do you allow it?) A few cuts would improve your journal. What material you have is good. Come again. The Scribe, Oakland, Cal.: We knew you were The Scribe, but we had to look in your advertising section to find out your city and State. Are you ashamed of Oakland, California? Does it not cheapen your appearance to place your Contents on the front cover? Jokes belong after an editorial, never before. We endorse the idea set forth in the. first section of your editorial. School journals are dependent almost entirely upon the ability of the staff. Keramos, East Liverpool, Ohio: You appear as usual. We do not favor ads. in the front of any school journal. Why place your first story in such fine type? Voters in your section seem to think a high school a burden rather than an uplift to your community. The Pioneer, New Orleans, La. (November.): Don’t be afraid to say something about your exchanges. Try and not continue stories from issue to issue. Travels of a Nickel is interesting, as is The Convict. Try and keep ads. in the back. Crimson and Gold, Colton, Cal.: Your paper is interesting. The ads. in the front spoil your entire arrangement. Editorials should never precede your other literary material. Your material shows spirit.

The jury was out but a few minutes, when a verdict of guilty in the first degree was brought in.

They secure and hold the best positions—advance the most rapidly—because they were properly and thoroughly trained in exactly the Things Re- quired in Every Modern Business Office. HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU, ANYHOW? YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU But After Entering the Santa Rosa Business College Your Success also Depends on Us. The fact that our students are successful—is the very plain and simple rea- son why our school is such a success, Every person who selects the Santa Rosa Business College as the best in- stitution of its kind in which to be proper:y trained for future business success gets the direct benefit of the following vital essentials: First. Our Course of Study as it now stands marks the highest point of de- velopment on the part of President, Officers, Principals and Teachers covering years of progress. Every subject is taken from the great business world, exactly as now used by the most successful concerns—boiled down—easily understood— intensely interesting and practical—and given to you in a simple usable work- able form. We keep right up-to-date in every branch. You get the benefit of this splendid course of study and every other possible advantage. Second. Our Methods of Instruction have, of course, been developed along with our Course of Study. Because we have developed our Courses far beyond other similar schools, it naturally follows that our methods of teaching must be much superior and better. We train our own teachers, in our own way of doing every little detail throughout the entire Course. You are taking no chances in our schoo] because we are not an experiment—but a tested—solid—permanent in- stitution, ; Third. Our Students Are surrounded by every modern convenience and fa- cility for doing the best possible work in the shortest time. We fully realize that service is the basis of all modern business and our success is based upon the best possible service rendered to our students by every Teacher, Principal and Of- ficer connected with our entire institution, both while in school and after they go into a position. The fact that our students go direct from sc hoo] into active business is due not to chance or luck, but depends upon the solid rock bottom fact that they were properly and thoroughly prepared.
