J On reaching the observatory, | was much elated to find that I could look through the wonderful glass. The first thing I saw, was what I supposed to be a planet, which seemed to be made up of high hills and deep valleys. As I looked more closely, I saw a little speck, which seemed to be moving. It finally proved to be a little. old, wrinkled man, about two feet high, with long, grey whiskers extending almost to his knees. When he saw that I was watching him, he turned and asked me what I would like to see. I was very much taken back at being addressed from such a distance, but on recovering my equilibrium, decided that the fate of my classmates would afford me the most enjoyment. In an instant there was a great crash, and everything looked blurred. | iad almost decided the little man had deserted me, when I heard a little, squeaky voice calling to me from out of the mist, “Took! Look!” I did, and yefore me lay the Latin quarter of Paris. I did not think that any of my friends could be here, and was just turning away, when a familiar figure caught my eye. On looking more closely, I knew it to be no other than Chester Gore, sketching the Katzenjammer Kids, and the famous Captain, or a large and appreciative portion of the smart set of Paris. Glancing down on one of the principal streets of Paris, whom should [ see but Eloise Yarnell, coming from one of the most popular theaters, sur rounded by a multitude of ardent admirers. It was easily seen that she was one of the most sought after of Parisian stage beauties. A moment later I was looking down on the beautiful city of Vienna. On a huge poster, what should I see but the following: “Melle Annie Matthews, in the Screaming Comedy, ‘Who Stole Annie’s Hat.” A few doors farther on I saw a crowd of people, all seeming to be going into the same place. Naturally curious, | wateched them, and saw that their destination was the hair dressing parlors of Blanche Bonnard, who had be- come famous for her wonderful hair dressing, which was appreciated by the dusky inhabitants of Africa. Next I saw coming from a humble church in the far-away city of Cairo, Arthur England, leading away his fifth bride, the stately Amelia Thole. While sightseeing in Egypt, I decided to see the Sphinx and the Pyra- mids. As I gazed on these noble monuments, I saw someone in a long, white robe, explaining with an elaborate speech, and in an oratorical manner, the supposed origin of these great masterpieces. It was no other than George Meagher, our famous history shark. Again the focus shifted and I was looking down on the scene of a ter- tible war. In the hospital quarters, whom should I see but my old class- mate, Myrtle Peterson, ministering with great ability, to the sick and [Page nine] THE ECHO wounded. The streets of London looked very dim to me through the telescope, but still bright enough for me to see the fair Eliza Andrews, a militant suffrag- ette, standing upon a London mail-box, urging her ardent followers to fight for woman’s rights. In a small town in fartherest Africa, I saw the shining countenance of ‘red Pederson. He was conducting a most successful revival meeting for New Thought, among the natives, who seemed to think he, with his fair hair and blue eyes, was nothing short of a god, consequently, flocking to hear him, by the thousands. In an instant I was looking down on our own country, and the prosper- ous city of Windsor. There, in a general merchandise store, was Gladys Berry, flirting with the townspeople, and receiving from them her amount of “tips.” Next, I was looking at Sebastopol, and was not at all surprised to see that a most fashionable dancing school was conducted by Miss Esther Gilkey | was again looking at the planet. The hills and valleys were there, but the little man was gone. Turning from the telescope I thanked the keeper, and went my way down the mountain, hardly knowing whether or not to believe my own eyes. | Page ten] Last Will and Testament Ik, the dignified and illustrious class of Christmas, 1912, be- fore leaving this dear old building, do desire to make this, our last will and testament.

Signed, THE CHRISTMAS CLASS OF to12. ; Wamething Real In the study hall at two-forty, one day, Was gathered a merry crew; There were Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, And Freshmen studied there, too. Mr. Montgomery did chance to go out of the room, Which gave them some time for fun; And how they had it, you'll very soon know Before my story is done. For Donald, who dearly loved trouble to hatch, Did have a revolver in his pocket ; He then gave the trigger a mighty pull, And BANG! it went off, like a rocket. When Mr. Montgomery re-entered the room, He saw a smile on the face of each boy; Then into the office he took Albert and Donald; And they went, not showing any great joy. What he said to them on the carpet that day, Neither of the boys will tell; But we may be sure that the study hall Will never more have a powdery smell.

It is a story of a New Year’s Day in sunny Italy; a story told long ago by one who loved and lived in that land of painters and poets. The glorious sunshine of a New Year’s morn gladdened the heart of a little silk weaver. Day by day, her tired feet 1ad stood before her web while her deft fingers twined the silken strands. sut today she was free; this was to be her one glad holiday—the only one in a whole long year. As she rose to delight in her glorious luxury, she whis- ered to herself: “I must not squander a mite of my twelve hours’ treasure. jut this one day I have leave to go and play out my fancy’s fullest games. may fancy all day.” So she was to spend her day—morn, noon, eve and night—in fancy fancying herself the happiest four in Asolo. These four were Ottima, the wife beloved of rich, old Luca, who owned the silk mills, where the weavers earned bread and milk; Jules and Phene, a bridegroom and his bride: Luigi and his mother, for none ever loved more tenderly than they; and Holy Mon- signor, “for best love of all is God.” Happy little weaver! With joy sure- ing through her heart, she went forth singing her New Year’s hymn: All service ranks the same with God. If now, as formerly He trod Paradise, His presence fills Our earth, each only as God wills Can work—God’s puppets, best and worst, Are we; there is no last, nor first.” “This glorious morn I shall be Ottima, rich Luca’s wife.” And the little maid went singing. High on a hillside, gleamed the place of Luca. Within its walls lay an old man dead. Without, in the garden below, stood a woman fair, and a man [Page fifteen] THE ECHO less fair. They knew why he lay stiff and cold—their hands had done the deed. Ottima, one of the Happiest Four in Asola! Just then a fresh, young voice broke in upon their passionate words with her dainty song: “The year’s at the spring, nd day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hillside’s dew pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in His heaven— ll’s right with the world!” “Oh! ’tis that little, ragged girl. She must have rested on the step. She stoops to pick my heartsease,” cried Ottima. “God’s in his heaven!” cried the man beside her. “The little peasant’s voice has righted all again. I see what I have done. God’s in his heaven!” A repentant sinner replaced the man of crime. “Tis noon. I shall be Bridegroom and Bride. I shall be Jules and Phene 5 : happy in their love.” Yet bridegroom and bride were not happy in their love. False friends of Jules, the artist, had in treachery, played him a dastardly trick, and his bride, with the snow-white face and raven hair, disclosed their envious hate, on her bridal day. The bridegroom was sw earing his deep revenge when a child’s voice rang in a sweet, glad strain. The voice of the weaver, in her fancy, was gay as she carolled of love. Then the little maiden passed. But re heart of the Bridegroom was melted, and revenge was turned to trust. = “Now it is eve and I shall be Luigi, who loves his mother so well. It I only knew what was my mother’s face—my father’s, too!” thought the lit- e maid. In a turret, Luigi sat with his mother. Unknown to them, spies were a watching what he might do. Should he leave before night for Vienna, well and good. Should he remain, there was but one way to deal with traitors. His mother, loving the sight of her only son, begged her Luigi to remain with her, for his duty away was a dangerous one. In the midst of her plea an eaget young voice sang clearly: “A king lived long go In the morning of the world, When earth was nigher heaven than now. Before his palace in the sun He sate, to see his people pass And judge them every one. ’Tis said a python came one day, With jorky tongue and eye on flame, Where the old king sate to judge alway. [Page sixteen] THE ECHO But when he saw the sweepy hair Girt with a crown of berries rare, Beholding this, he did not dare Approach that threshold in the sun, Assault the old king smiling there. Such grace had kings when the world was young.” “°Tis God’s voice calls, how could I stay.” And Luigi went—to Free- dom, to his duty. “T, tonight at least, would be Monsignor, that holy and beloved priest. Such had been the little silk maid’s fancy at the dawn. That New Year’s night the good Monsignor sat in the Bishop’s palace. His brother, the Bishop, was dead, yet his trusted attendant still lived; lived to tell of the perfidy of both master and menial. ‘And what had become of died that a fortune might pass from master to the Bishop’s child? Had it man? “No; ‘tis but a little, black-eyed, gay, silk-winding girl. Sir, I will make way with her for you. Is it a bargain?” hrough the window admitting of the waning light, float- Softly, sweetly, t “Suddenly God took me,” closed the song. ed the words of a young girl's. The good Monsignor lifted both voice and hand. A rush, a struggle, a hush ;—a villain lay dead outside Monsignor’s door! New’s Year’s day was done. Both Pippa’s songs and her fancies must maid entered her room that night, she close with the day. Yet, as the little wondered about the Happiest Four in Asola. “Now, one thing I should really like to know, How near ever might approach all these I only fancied being—this long day. pproach, I mean, so as to touch them,—so As to, in some way, move them, if you please, Do good or evil to them some slight way; Though I passed by them all and felt no sign.” Dear little Pippa! She did not know that her sweet, pure songs had wrongs of the Happiest Four in Asola. She rae | roused the right from the stifling did not even know that they had heard while she lived in fancy, through morn, noon, eve, and night, as the 1er songs as she passed, pouring out her joy Happiest Four in Asola. “God bless me! I can pray no more tonight. No doubt, some way or other, my hymn says right. ‘All service is the same with God— With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first.’ ” Pippa slept. Her happy New Year’s day had not be squandered! [Page seventeen] “he Dawn of a New Day EW YEAR’S eve had come again. ‘The little hall beneath he redwoods fairly beamed with mirth and laughter. About he room were groups of both young and middle-aged, anxious for the dance to commence. At one end, on a little ylatform, a heating stove, red-hot with its efforts, success- fully battled with the cold air of the winter night. On the same platform, but a little to one side, a man tuned a violin. He was a stranger who had happened into this out-of-the-way place. He had a jovial way about him that won the hearts of the young people. Outside, a cold, white coat covered the earth, and a biting wind, exulting in its strength, whistled through the trees. Everything else was silent. The moon, shining between the passing clouds, seemed to shiver as her silver rays fell upon the white blanket protecting the tender plants and bushes from the frosty air. Tottering through the snow, a figure approached the building. It was an old man, with gray hair and a long, flowing beard. The fire in the once bright eyes was now dim. Beneath the old black overcoat that covered his figure, he clasked a precious violin. As he neared the hall, he suddenly stop- ped. Disappointment, sorrow, pain, all in turn, covered his countenance. He staggered, caught himself, leaned heavily against the sheltered side of a tree. A great tear rolled down his cheek, for the picture of former years passed before him. Me saw a group of men clearing a small patch of land beneath stately reawoods. Lumber was hauled and an assembly hall built. One, the leader, was always cheerful and happy. It was his former self. In another picture he saw the same figure, but older now. He was playing a violin, while the crowds danced. Here, the old man started toward the building, but halted before a window. He searched the faces of those within. There were none that he had seen in the first picture. He looked again and saw few faces seen in the second picture. He was numb with cold, but he would not intrude. They had forgotten him, and had chosen a violinist, who couly play later and more popular music. As the aged musician listened, a sob burst from his lips. It was not the music, filled with purity and simplicity, that had always been played in the little hall. Heartbroken, he returned to his little cabin, nestling near the side of a brook. He was greeted by his only companion, an old hound, which, like his master, was growing feeble with age. Tears rolled from the old man’s eyes as the faithful animal, his one remaining friend, licked his hands. Throw- ing a chunk into the fire, he watched it burn and waited for the midnight hour. He was growing weak, but he still might play on his old violin, and welcome the New Year, as he had done so many times before. It was midnight. The cuckoo clock sent forth its farewell to the passing twelve months. The New Year victories took the place of the old. The little hall echoed with laughter and wishes of a “Happy New Year”; but in a small, time-worn cabin, all was silent, save the low murmur of the wind and the trickling of the nearby brook. The life on earth had flown with the old year, but the dawn f the New Year brought eternal peace. [Page eighteen] ‘Room Fourteen S usual, the Atherley girls’ room was crowded. Besides be- ing two of the most popular girls at college, their room was especially attractive, and often the haunt of their friends in. the evenings, except on rare occasions, when callers would be confronted with the forbidding sign tacked on the outside of their door— CRAMMING! KINDLY LEAVE US ALONE IN OUR MISERY, This meant that the Atherleys were preparing themselves at the eleventh hour for an ex. The “Atherleys’ Retreat,” as it was commonly called, was the scene of many merry gatherings, it being especially noted for the number of successful midnight feasts held behind its doors. On this particular evening, a stormy one in October, a fudge party was in progress, Nan Hathaway, a lively Junior, and expert chef, presiding at he chafing-dish. Grace and Jeanette therley, clad in big, white aprons, were assisting, while several others were beguiling the time in various ways, until they should be called upon to perform the task of disposing of the fudge. Two of them, members of the mandolin club, were sitting on the sofa, practicing, three or four, gathered around the big library table, were discussing an exciting game of football that had been played that afternoon. lelen Lawson, a Senior, comfortably ensconced in pillows on the broad window-seat, was reading a magazine, apparently oblivious to the fact that anything was going on. “Say, girls, where’s Sally tonight?” asked Helen. suddenly arousing her- self. “First time I ever heard of her missing a fudge party.” “Oh, Sally had a very important engagement this evening, replied Grace therley. “It seems that she was appointed on a committee to plan for the lreshmen girls’ supper. Said that she would try to favor us with her pres- ence later on.” “Well, she’d better hurry up if she expects any fudge, for it will be done in about two minutes, and probably won't last long among this ravenous bunch,” called Nan from behind the chafing-dish, Several minutes later, as all were busily engaged in devouring the fudge, Nan remarked, “Seems to me the Freshies are rather slow about their supper this semester—wonder when they are planning to have it?” “What is this Freshman supper, anyway?” asked a Junior, who had just entered the college that fall, having attended another university for two years. “I have heard it mentioned several times—it seems to be a very mys- terious affair.” “Why, don’t you know about the Freshman supper?” asked Helen. You've missed something in this life if you have never attended one. You see, every semester the Freshman girls are supposed to have a supper with- out letting their enemies, the Sophomores, know of it. They have to make all their arrangements for the supper so that only members of their class [Page nineteen] THE HCHO shall know anything of it, and, naturally, the Sohps. try to keep track of them and do everything they can to prevent their supper from taking place. Until the very last minute the Freshies are in fear and trembling that the Sohps. shall discover their plans, all of which makes it very exciting.” “We shall certainly never forget our Freshman supper, shall we, (Gracene asked Jeanette Atherley of her sister. “Of all the grand fizzles! Our class, being confident of outwitting the Sophomores, thought that we would have something quite elegant, so arranged for an oyster supper at Wilson’s— Wil- son was the man who used to keep the hotel here, you know. We hired a private dining-room, and expected to have a great lark. We were sure that not a Soph. suspected what we were up to, and word had been passed around among the Freshman girls that every one of them was to be on hand at eight o’clock on the appointed evening. You can imagine our surprise and chagrin when the whole class safely arrived on time, only to find that the Sophomore girls were there ahead of us, sitting at the tables as serene as you please, gobbling down our supper. Of course, we were terribly wrought up over it, ut there was simply nothing for us to do but to meekly take our leave. That story went all over the campus, and you can imagine the feelings of we poor, ittle Freshmen. We found out later, that, in some incredible way, the Sophs. iad discovered our plans, and several of them went to Mr. Wilson, telling 1im that they were some of the girls that wanted the supper, and had decide« to change the time from eight o’clock to seven—Good Gracious! what's the natter, Sally?” For at that moment the door banged open, and there stoox Sally, her black eyes flashing angrily. “Matter enough,” she snapped, “everything’s fallen through—all our ylans discovered—oh, it’s the meanest trick I ever heard of—and we expecte¢ everything to go off so well—it’s pretty maddening! If only I could get hole of that girl for a minute’— “Sally Armstrong,” said Grace Atherley, in a firm, decided tone of voice, “sit down in that chair and calm yourself—then please explain the meaning of this sudden outburst of wrath.” “Anything gone wrong with the Freshman supper, Sally?” asked Nan. “Oh, no, not at all,” replied the irant Sally, sarcastically, “no when you stop to consider that every Sohpomore girl at college knows of our plans to have it tomorrow evening; and all because of the meanest kind of a trick played by one of the Sophs.—that Martha Sutton—you know her, tall and haughty, wears spectacles—acts as if she thought that every Freshman should ask her pardon for living—she boards in town. Well, this morning, she meekly walked up to Ethel Robertson, one of those on the committee. as she was standing in front of the library, and, pretending that she was a oyal Freshman, succeeded in getting out of her all of our plans for the sup- yer. Ethel didn’t know who she was, but the sarcastic way in which Martha said, ‘Thank you very much for telling me this,’ made her slightly suspicious, so she made it a point to find out. When she discovered that the demure little ‘Freshman’ was a Sophomore, she realized what she had done, and con- Page twenty] THE ECHO fessed at the committee meeting tonight. But don’t you think it’s absolutely the most disgusting thing you ever heard of? Of course, it’s the game for the Sophs. to try to find out our plans, but that is going a little too far. The Sohps., not knowing how Miss Sutton gained her information, are praising her to the sky. Oh! it just makes me boil all over when I think of it.” fter the girls had discussed the matter for a few minutes, Helen sig- nificantly remarked, “ What do you say to giving the clever Sophomore an- other chance to distinguish herself, girls?” “What's the plan, Helen?” eagerly asked Sally. Shortly afterwards, Nan was saying at the ‘phone, “Hello! is that Miss Sutton? Martha Sutton? Well, this is— (Aside). Hurry, Sally, I’ve got the culprit. Here’s the receiver. Speak up, now.” “Hello! Hello! you still there, Ethel? What's the matter with the old ‘phone, anyway ?—wires must be crossed. Now, remember what I told you about the supper—all the Freshmen are to meet in back of the gym at half past ten tonight. We'll fool the Sophs. yet. Now, be sure to meet me here at ten sharp—you and I are the only ones who know the pass-word, so we have to get their early. Remember, ten sharp, Room 14, Wellby Hall.” Af- ter firing this rapid conversation at the ‘phone, Sally slammed down the re- ceiver, and said, “Here’s hoping that our friend, Miss Sutton, bites at that.” After Martha Sutton overheard this conversation, and exultant gleam shone through her eyes. “Well, isn’t that lucky?” she thought to herself. ‘The wires must have been crossed—wonder who it was that telephoned to me? Lovely piece of information I gained—Oh, you poor Freshman! your supper is certainly doomed. Now, what had I better do—warn all the Sophs., so that they will be sure to prevent it?. But, no! if those two girls who are to meet are detained, the supper can’t come off, for they are the only ones who know the pass-word. I'll go myself, t oRoom 14, Wellby, at ten sharp, and have the pleasure of intercepting them.” The night was cold and stormy, and the distance from Martha Sutton’s voarding place to Wellby Hall was not short, but, in her endeavor to dis- inguish herself, she realized that this was too good a chance to be missed, and braved the storm. t exactly three minutes to ten, Martha, drenched and fatigues after her walk, she was cautiously walking down the long, dimly-lighted hall on the second floor of Wellby Hall, peering at the number of every door. [i- nally, at the end of the hall, she came upon Room 14. A light shone through he transom at the top of the door. She knocked, but no one answered, and, istening for a moment or two, she could not hear a sound. ‘They evidently don't wish to receive callers tonight—probably think that if they keep quiet and don’t answer, whoever is here will depart. But they’re greatly mistaken —I'll knock again and if they don’t answer, walk in,” she thought to herself. True to her word, after her second knock was unanswered, she grasped the loor-knob, opened the door, and boldly stepped in—then started back in amazement— It was the laundry-room! [Page twenty-one] The Rider of the Park y had been relieved from duty at the Eighth avenue entrance re an hour before; had reported at headquarters, and was 4 walking briskly across the park, homeward bound. The night was as clear as crysal, and as cold as ice. The full moon shed a silvery glow over the maples that bordered the avenue, and the stars glistened like myriads of diamonds in the vaulted heavens. As I rounded the corned near the museum, I no- ticed a light in the nightwatchman’s office, just to the right of the suite of rooms given to him for his home, where he had lived for twenty-five years. Tim and I were old friends, so when I saw the light in his office, I decided to pay him a friendly visit. The clock in the beach observatory struck nine, as I knocked. The old man opened the door, and greeted me with a hearty welcome. “Why, howdy, Jerry!” he exclaimed, wringing my hand until I almost saw stars, “it's been an age since I've seen you; how have you been, anyway ? “By the way, you didn’t see anything of the Rider as you came through the park, did you?” he asked as I seated myself on the couch opposite his reading table. “The Rider—pray whom do you mean?” I asked, somewhat indifferent- ly, as I took off my gloves and moved n earer the fire. “You, a park policemen, don’t mean to tell me you have never heard of The Rider of the Park!” he exclaimed in astonishment. “I'm afraid such is the came, but tell me about it: who is The Rider of the Park, any way?” said I, hoping to draw from him one of his many ro- mantic legends of this mysterious old park. “Well, as I remember, it was this way, he began, crossing his legs and folding his hands over his knees, “about twenty years ago, when the mount- ed police were first stationed in the park, there was ah andsome young fellow, by the name of Rafferty, stationed at the Eighth avenue entrance—your own station, Jerry. He was a tall young fellow of powerful build, with dark auburn hair, and big, black eyes that twinkled like stars when he was smil- ing, and that snapped fire when he was angry, which wa s seldom. He was the handsomest man I ever saw in a uniform, and he and his big, black horse were familiar objects around the park of an evening. “Well, Rafferty was in love with Molly Dunne, a sw eet, little blue-eyed gire, who worked in a down-town candy store. Since he was on duty at night, and she at work in the daytime, they didn’t get to go out much to- gether. This is how it happened that Rafferty wasn’t with them, when Saturday night, the thirtieth of November, she and a crowd of her friends came out to a ball given in honor of the opening of the Eighth Avenue Hotel. About twelve o'clock, she and her friends left the hall-room, and came over one to the entrance to take a car for hime. While they were waiting, Rafferty rode up on his big, black horse, dismounted. and stopped to talk with them. They had been talking probably ten minutes (the cars didn’t run as often [Page twenty-two] THE ECHO then as they do not), when all of a sudden, Molly took a notion to ride the horse. She jumped into the saddle with such a sudden bound that the horse became frightened, and started to race off down the drive. Although Molly was a good rider, she couldn’t manage the horse, and the tighter she pulled on the bridle, and the louder she yelled ‘whoa’, the faster he went. Rafferty and the rest tried to catch the horse, but he was too fast for them. Suddenly,. he turned a sharp corner, went clear off the road, stumbled, and plunged into the lake that used to be near the conservatory. Molly and the horse were both drowned before assistance could reach them. Rafferty, stricken with. grief, threw himself into the lake and was drowned with his sweetheart. “All this happened twenty years ago, but they say that each year, on the thirtieth of November, Molly Runne rides through the park on her coal- blask steed and disappears somewhere over near the conservatory. They also say that the person who sees her will have bad luck for a year afterwards. Tonight is the night. That's why I asked you if you’d seen her,” concluded the old watchman. A thick blanket of sea-fog had drifted landward, shutting out the light of the moon and the stars, making the night “as black as Erebus,” when | fastened my overcoat tighter across my chest, put on my cap and gloves, and started, once more, homeward across the park. “Look out for the Rider,” was Tim’s parting shot as I disappeared from view into the darkness. Now, I think that I am not a coward, and I am not often frightened, but, somehow, after leaving my friend, an intangible something that might have been termed nervousness, crept over me. I started at every sound I heard, and once, when I heard a twig snap near me, my heart leapt up into my throat with a bound, skipping several beats, I am sure. I had reached a turn in the avenue that leads around by the music-stand, when I heard a low, soft voice. It was indistinct as yet, but in a minute,—yes, there could be no doubt about it. It was the unmistakable rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, of a galloping horse, and furthermore, it was coming closer every minute. I determined that I would not be frightened; that I would face whatever it was. if it took my life, but I will confess that my teeth were chattering and that my knees were shaking. Closer and closer, every second, came the horse. I had walked about ten paces, when the steed with its rider swung into view. Will I ever forget that sight? Never, as long as I live! There, silhouetted against the silver maple ahead of me, galloping at a moderate speed, was a huge, coal-black horse. In the saddle, sat a young girl, dressed as girls dressed twenty years ago. There was nothing in this to terrify a man, but the fact that struck terror to my heart was this: from the eyes and jaws of the horse, and from the eyes and lips of the rider, flashed tongues of blue fire. I stood there a moment, too dazed to move. Then, cold sweat burst forth on my forehead, my hair stood straight up on my head and my eyes bulged out. Then, with a yell that I am sure startled people three miles away, I bolted for the mu- [Page twenty-three] THE ECHO seum. Once, I looked back, and to my horror and utter despair, there came this awful night-mare, tearing at full speed after me. Never before did my legs seem to absolutely refuse to move, although I believe I was doing a pretty fair “Marathon.” Never before did the dis- tance between the music-stand and the museum seem interminable. When [ caught sight of that light in Tim's office, I yelled with all my might, “Tim! Tim! she’s after me! Quick! Quick! Save me, Tim! The office door burst open, and out rushed Tim, bre: athless with amaze- ment at my shrieks I threw myself into his arms, too faint to speak, but a moment later gained my strength very quickly, when [ heard a very human ee exclaim, ‘anxiously, “(C) Father, did I kill him?” Sarah Ann Murphy! what, in the name of all that is good, are you do ing out at this time of night? And, child, what is the matter with your eyes? What makes them shine so?” ‘Tell me. first, is he dead? Did I kill him? O Father! Father!” and she burst into tears. “Nr. child: he is not dead. Very much alive! Now, tell me what’s the matter.” “OQ! Brother dared me to ride through the park tonight, dressed like the Rider, and I took his old dare. I hunted around in the garret until I found these old clothes of mother’s. Then, I rented a black horse from the Riding Club, purchased some phosphorous paint, and the whole trick was done. But really, I hope | haven't scared the wits out of the old man,” she said, looking at me, and smiling in spite of 1erself, for I did look rather wild- eyed, “Look here, young lady, do you think it smart, to go around scaring people half to eath? Now, you go wash that paint off the horse’s face and off your own, and chase up to your room as quickly as possible. I'll take the horse to the club in the morning, and as for your brother, I'll settle with him in the morning, too. Now hike!’ said Tim, in angry tones, for he was furious. Then he turned to me with a twinkle in his eye and said, “Jerry, do you want to stay here tonight? There’s plenty of room.” | stayed. THE NEW YEAR The chilly north wind whistles through the trees, And dies. away into a gentle breeze; And all the world is silent, far and near, Watching the last breath of the dying year. The clam’rous midnight bells will soon proclaim Thee ming ofa glorious New Year r reign ; So, hasten with your songs and merry din, To help them ring the happy New Year in. The great clock’s moving fingers upward point; And all the bells in every city ring. Their welcome to the glad New Year they sound, And send their tidings all the world around. [Page twenty-four] “iin ddan Ae ee ee Commerce and Social Progress C20) OMMERCE is the exchange of goods in considerable quan- tities between producers remote from one another. iif This exchange has had a great influence on the social progress of the world, both in ancient and modern times. Perhaps the most striking examples are in the more mod- ern times, but the culture of the Greeks and Romans was undoubtedly influenced by their commerce. When we get to the point of studying one people as having an influence on another, they have advanced to the extent of settling in a definite place, and having a certain degree of social organization. Many tribes never reach this state, and on account of their migratory habits, have advanced to a very small degree along lines of industrial arts, which have not gotten to the point where they intluence social conditions, or commerce. To influence com- merce to any extent, the people must have some family or tribal organization. When tribes or nations have reached this stage there are two kinds of inter- course which have their origin in connection with commerce, that of friendly and uniriendly relations. War opens up a new way for commerce, as was illustrated by the Cru- sades, the people in western Europe were practically ignorant of the east. The Crusades started intercourse which resulted in the hightening of the social standards of the western people. A successful war gives securities for peaceful commerce, thus advancing commerce and aiding both nations ma- terially. Many tribes and cities have changing relations, and elements of inse- curity and uncertainty, are not favorable to commerce, or to advancement along lines of culture. That the uplifting influence of commerce was appreciated in early times, is shown by the actions of Solomon, King of Judah and Israel. He founded commercial centers at the most convenient points, and even went so far as to establish a commercial department of state. His merchants traded in Egypt, Syria and with the Hittites, and the result was that the Jewish nation made the most advance in social progress. n example of the marked effect of commerce on social progress, is shown by the prosperous Phoenician city of Tyre. Many times its imme- diate ruin was prophesied, but it always held its own. The secret of its power of resisting attack epended on its wealth, and its wealth was derived from its industry and skill in manufactures. But as their own raw materials were practically exhausted, they had to depend on other nations, consequently on commerce, for the necessary materials. To their manufactures they owed their life and advancement; so without commerce, Tyre would never have attained the position of culture and refinement it held. Venice can be taken as the best example of the influence of commerce on the social progress of a single city. Venice was the center of trade routes. ‘rom there vessels went to and from the Orient, through the Mediterranean [Page twenty-five] THE ECHO Sea to the Isthmus of Suez, by caravan across that, and then by sea the rest of the way. Overland routes extended from Venice to all important inland cities. Ships went to northern Africa and to England. Her great advance- ment in social progress, was due to the growth and energy of her commer- cial population. Its regularity of government was a marvel for that time, when there was so much strife elsewhere. It was in Venice that the first public bank was organized, and bills of exchange were first negotiated. AI- though the advancement of civilization has taken from Venice the place of first city in the land, there is no doubt that had not the various trading lines chosen Venice for their terminus, it would never have been the city it once was. In the Roman Empire, commerce played a great part. It was mostly as a result of her successful wars that countries opened their ports to her. The commerce took on more of a form of tribute than trade, but nevertheless Rome was advanced socially by their imports. Throughout the Roman Em- pire, roads for commercial communication were built, so that all parts might be brought closer together and all benefited by the variety of knowledge. Besides the beneficial influence which Rome exercised over her conquered nations, she learned much from them. The inhabitants of the Greek cities which she conquered, practically carried on the commerce of the Empire. In this way social progress was influenced by both conquerers and con- quered. With the downfall of the Empire, the lack of public security caused a great contraction of commerce, as a part of general lapse into barbarism. This shows that the lapse into barbarism was caused, partially, by the failure of the government to back its commerce. The Mohammedan Conquest had more effect on the social progress of the West, coming as it did at a critical time, than any other one thing. It opened ways by which the knowledge of arts and sciences of the East, might be cultivated in the remote parts of the West, where civilization was almost destroyed by a succession of barbarian invasions. One of the important advances in social progress in the middle ages. was the formation of the Hansaetic League, by the German cities. The quality and extent of the progress of trade and arts was greatly widened by this league. The discovery of the American continents, and the formation of the East India Company, did much in the fifteenth century to advance civilization. When we come down to the nineteenth century, all the world has been explored, and all the world has attained a certain degree of social progress, some parts to a marked extent. The easy transportation of goods, both by land and sea, and the prompt means of communication, have thrown the world open to trade. Trade has shown the necessity for better transportation, and this in turn has spurred on invention. Trade makes competition between the nations, and as a result better education is desired. All over the world today, various governments are working for the social uplift of the people. [Page twenty-six] 1. Mary Coleman. 2 gentelter. 6. 10. Sterling 14. Chester Bruning. Case. 19.

Seniors are soon to say, “Farewell! to High School Days.” Seniors—what is your attitude toward the days you have spent within the walls of S. R. H. S.? Some of you are rejoicing over the fact that these days are soon ended, while others regret it. You realize that you have reached a mile-post in your lives—a fork in the road—where you will pause to consider which road you will travel, for commencement is not a closing of your schooling, but a starting point, where you will commence the real school of life. Perhaps some of you feel that you have gained practically nothing from your studies of the past four year. 1t would be well to listen to the experi- ences of many who have traveled far beyond the fork in the road; but prob- ably you would listen non-believingly, when told of the benefits of the High School education, so that you yourselves will learn only by your own ex- periences the value of the studies through which you have plodded. During the next term we will miss you not only in the study hall and in the class rooms, but also in the work of the different activities. Now, as you are leaving High, we wish you happiness and success in the future, and hope that you will have both pleasure and success in that which you are choosing as your life-work. : k o 4 s this is the last of the term, we are all looking forward to the begin- ning of the spring semester. How eager we are to begin work in the new annex! It is to be hoped that the students will appreciate the splendid new building with the new furnishings, and not try to detract and spoil the ap- pearance by markings of any sort. Let us endeavor to prove our appreciation and thanks to the community by respecting the property. There has been a change in the school system ,by which the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades will pursue some of the new studies afforded us by the annex. It is hoped that these younger students will be well treated and that their rights upon the new premises will be recognized by the upper- classmen. In looking back over the events of the past term, we realize that we have enjoyed many pleasures in addition to our studies, and that the school has continued to make itself known as one of honor and power, under the super- vision of our new principal, Mr. Montgomery. The track team, the basketball team, and the debating team have made the strength of the school known to the neighboring communities, winning for us many beautiful trophies. The faculty has supported and aided us in all that we have done. The members of the school board have planned and supervised the completion and furnishing of the new annex. The Mothers’ Club has given us several enjoyable entertainments, and the High School journal has enjoyed a prosperous term, because of the loyal support of the student body. [Page twenty-nine] The programs this month have continued to be as interesting as formerly. They have consisted of the following: December 6.

Miss Mills has been working hard, too, and ought to be very pleased with the results which she has brought about. One reason for the success of the club is the fact that at the first of the term, a try-out was held, which de barred those members whom it was thought would not be benefited by the work. All of the school activities have progressed this semester, and have ac- complished much. This is due to the attitude of the students as well as to the ability of those in charge of the various departments. Miss Nesbit’s selections were very much appreciated. The students rarely have such a treat, and showed their appreciation for it.

Many have taken special interest in the debating society, and have done their best to- ward making this all-important school activity a wonderful success. Early in the term a team was chosen by means of a try-out . This team worked diligently for two weeks in preparing to meet Analy High in the first of the annual league debates. As a result of this earnest effort and the remarkable ability of the team, we defeated the team from Sebastopol. Ve are now looking forward to the next league debate, which will be between Cloverdale High and S. R. H. S. In order that the team may have no other work to hinder it from making thorough preparation for that debate, a try-out was held just before Christmas for a second team, which will repre- sent us in any inter-school debate for which we might arrange. The number of entrants for this try-out proved that many are interested in debating and realize the importance of that activity. Those selected for a second team were Albert Entzminger, Raegan Talbot, and Sydney Drysdale, with Fae Irwin as alternate. [Page thirty-one] THE ECHO Alumni The following S. R. H.

BASKETBALL The boys’ basketball team has showed excellent form, and exceptionally good team work for one that has had little practice together. They have played five games and have won three out of the five; one of the games being played with old stars at the game such as Irving McDaniels and others. During the term we have played two games with Petaluma, losing the first and winning the second by a good score. The stars of the game were Lindsten and Frey. The rest of the lineup was as follows: Berger (manager), Crane and Peterson. Special mention ought to be given to Coach Martin for his hard work with the boys. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This semester the basketball team has been very successful in the games which have been played. The first game of the season, which was a practice with Petaluma, was lost by a score of 11-4; but considering that the team had never played a game together, and that the floor of the court was very slippery, it is not to be wondered that the girls lost. The return game with them was played here on December Oth. We won by a score of 20-9. The preliminaries, as well as the semi-finals of the S. N. S.C. A. L., were forfeited to us by Analy and Cloverdale, respectively. The finals were played on December 13th against St. Helena, at the old Armory. The score was 57-2 in our favor, which is probably the largest score ever made by the girls’ team. By winning the game, we won the league cup again, which makes it ours permanently. The N. W. games are scheduled for the first of this year. FOOTBALL On Christmas day, the Alumni football team went down to defeat before the onslaught of the High School terrors. Practically the entire town was present to witness the struggle, in which the Alumni team, composed of heavier and more experienced players, were swept from their feet by the work of the High School team. Every man showed up exceedingly well, although Maron, Bettini, Argyle and Berry proved to be past masters in the game. Hugh Watson played a remarkable game, considering that he had shortly before recovered from a broken leg. Referee McConnell kept his players well in hand, and as a result the entire contest was characterized bv clean, snappy playing on both sides. The following is a schedule of the High School lineup: Forwards, Linsten, Merritt, Wilkinson, Berry, Crist, Paxton, Churchill and Roberts; fullback, Bagley; halfback, Leo Maroni; five-eighths, Argyle; three-quarters, Bettini and Maroni: wings, Heims, Watson and Mills. [Page thirty-four] Owing to serious illness, our exchange editor was unable to write the exchanges for this month, so his work has been done by some other members staff. Exchanges, if you feel that the following criticisms are unjust, do not blame our exchange editor. Yours was the best exchange received during the past term, Girls’ High Journal. Your cuts show up exceptionally well, and all your material was excellent. One of the best magazines received this month is The Owl, from Fresno High. Your cover is good, and the frontispiece excellent. The paper is both interesting and attractive. Wheat, Ritzville, Wash. (December): An excellent small exchange. We appreciate your exchange list. The Tiger, California School of Mechanical Arts: Your Yule Tide num- ber is excellent. The literary department is good, and the cuts are splendid. The Almanack, Ferry Hall (November): Yours is a good exchange, but why not devote a separate page for the table of contents, rather than using the inside of the cover? Orange and Black, Benton Harbor, Mich. (November): Why spoil the appearance of your paper, by placing ads. in the front? The order of your departments would be greatly improved, if you would place the literary de- partment first, followed by the editorials and the exchanges. Some of your cuts might be improved. Why not place all the ads. in the back of your journal, Cardinal, Mil- waukee, Wis. (December)? Could you not publish where you come from, so that one would not have to search through the ads. in order to find out: Your literary department is excellent. “Collingwood, ‘12” is great. The Columbus News, New York City (November): A very neat ex- change. A few more cuts would make you more attractive. Nesika Wawa, Dayton, Wash.

Your editorials should follow the literary department. Your class notes are good. Panorama, Binghamton, N. Y. (November): Vhy do you place ads. in the front of your magazine? Your appearance would be improved if you would devote a page to the table of contents. You have a splendid literary department. The Kodak, Everett High School (December): A very neat exchange but could you not afford to have a few cuts? “When Star Rock Fell” is a dandy story, but why not have some more like it? Why place “Christmas at Camp in Alaska” in the back of your magazine? Your exchange poem is very clever and original. Keromas, East Liverpool, Ohio (November and December): You would be excellent exchanges if your ads. were together in the back, and not one in the front. Jokes scattered througout the journal detract from your appear- ance. One or two short stories in place of one of those continued stories would be better. Your poem, “Christmas Day,” is excellent. The November Artisan, Mechanic Arts High School, Boston, Mass.: Yours is an attractive paper, with the exception of the ad. on the inside of the front cover, and those on the back cover. Your editorial is very gor rd. Pohob, Elko, Ney. (Christmas number): Your appearance is cheapened by the ads. in front and on the inside of the cover. Your literary department is very good. Some department cuts would make you more attractive. Your josh column is splendid. Mercury, Milwaukee, Wis.: If it were not for the ads. on the cover and in the front of your December number, yours would have been one of the best exchanges received this month.

We miss an exchange column. Your stories are very good, The Toletc, Durango, Colorado: Although your material is very good, the ads. in the front make you less attractive. Your atrangement would be greatly improved if you would place the literary department before the ed- itorial, and the exchanges before the jokes. Red and Black, Tampa, Florida: Keep your ads. together in the back. Why not add a few more cuts. The Christmas Tattler, Milwaukee, Wis.: Your improved if you would keep the ads. in the back. and change your ¢ appearance would be the order of epartment, by placing the editorial after the literary department. Your material is very good. The Purple and White, Worthington, Ind. (December): Could you not afford to use better paper for your magazine? Why not have some more cuts? The numerous criticisms upon ads. in the front of a magazine. hold good in your case. [Page thirty-six] There was a young fellow named Fred, nd, Oh! who will we have in his stead?

V. SANTA ROSA, FEBRUARY, 1918 No. 6 The Prince and The Priest HE citizens of Aldengart looked with great pride and rever- ence upon the great golden bells in the church tower. No one knew the age of the wonderful bells for the ancient records merely stated that they were the gift of some for- gotten patriot. They had never been known to fail to ring long as the tower stood, unless someoné purposely dis- abled them. The people held an annual celebration in honor of these bells. Even in the courts they used, instead of the bible, the bells to take oaths. Therefore, one morning, the people were amazed and thrown into con- sternation when they learned that the bells would not ring. At first they would not believe the sad news, but soon, when it had been found to be true, they were seized with grief and fear. The streets soon filled with alarmed people, and the Duke of the city rose and addressed them: “Fellow Citizens,” he said, “a great misfortune has come to us, for our faithful bells have failed to ring. Our city has reached a crisis in its history. Though we are extremely grieved’”— A great wail rose from the grief-stricken, simple people. The Duke then continued: “There must be some reason for the bells refusing.to ring. They would never stop on their own accord. Someone has stopped the bells, and no ef- fort will be spared to bring the perpetrator to justice!” Loud cries of anger at the unknown person, and of approval at the words followed. Then the Duke passed to the large door leading to the tower. “T think,’ said one of them, “that some enemy has done this; the people Holburg are envious of our fame and are continually plotting against us.” “No one could pass by me!” shouted old Peter, the care-taker, “I have watched faithfully!’ The old man trembled at the thought. “Be careful,’ warned the Duke, “and report to me as soon as possible.’ No one worked that day; no one cared to do anything. No one thought of climbing into the belfry and finding out the cause of the misfortune. All day they speculated and formed opinions, but without result. In the evening the people assembled in the public square to listen to the Duke. A pale moon cast its rays on their bared heads. In this attitude a THE ECHO stranger found them. He had come out of a side street and had joined the crowd. He was a tall, young man with an intellectual face and a high forehead. His hair was flaxen and his soldier-like carriage gave him a dignified appear- ance. Leaning on his sword, he listened to the speech. He heard, “Never has a citizen entered the belfry, but someone must go now, for duty demands it. Who of you will volunteer to climb the stairs and search the belfry?” The crowd drew back at the words, for they held it sacrilege to enter the place. No one but the care-taker was allowed that privilege, but that poor man was unable to go. It was soon evident that no one wished to go. After a short time, someone was seen approaching the platform. Surely he was some messenger. They became silent as they saw him kneel before their ruler, and heard him, in answer to the question, “Who are you?” say: “Tam Jules Wilhelm, nephew of the emperor.” “Our city is honored by your presence, Prince, for your father is well known by my people Can you help us in our present trouble?” I came here by chance, and hearing you speak, would like to enter the belfry.” The Duke was replying, when suddenly a great thrill of fear seized the people, for the bells had started ringing—ringing as no citizen had ever heard. Terrified, the people rushed to their homes, locking themselves in. One figure, that of the young man, was seen. He went over to the stairs, opened the door and walked in. The people perceiving his valor, returned to the streets. Meanwhile, the young man, climbing cautiously, had reached the top of the stairs, had opened the iron door, and had entered the benfry. Standing near the door he tried to see some cause for the disturbance, and presently felt that he was not alone. Grasping his sword more firmly, he advanced a few steps and saw before him, an indistinct figure. In even, tense tones, the figure spoke: ‘ec Prince Jules, go back to the people and tell them the monks have en- tered by a secret passage and have destroyed the bells. Look!” and he showed him the remains of the once grand bells. “Tell them we have stopped theit idolatrous worship. Never more will the bells ring out to the people.” Rushing down the stairs, the Prince appeared before the waiting crowd. Shouting the news to the people, he ran for his horse and quickly rode away. With a cry of rage the citizens sprang up the stairs with lighted swords and drawn weapons. However, they were stopped by the sight of the peace- ful, black-robed figure, carrying a crucifix. “Why are you in such a haste, wretched people?” asked the figure. “Go back to your homes and think over your punishment!” The people, strangely under the influence of the stern man, shrank back, returning to their now joyless homes. The months quickly passed, and in the spring the young man with his powerful father, returned. They crushed the despotic monks and gave a new tower and new bells to the people. These bells were revered by the simple people because they knew and respected the giver, so much, A Slight Surprise OOD BYE, girls! We will be back tomorrow; don’t forget to feed the cat,” called Mrs. West, as the train pulled slowly out of the little country village. “Good-bye,” answered the two girls on the platform, then turning slowly, they walked back toward the village. Mary and Ruth, with their baby sister, had been left in charge of their home, while their parents went to the neighboring village to attend a funeral. ‘Whatever would we do if a burglar should get in while were are alone?’ asked Mary. “Oh!” gasped Ruth, “do you think there is any danger?” “T don’t know, but—Listen, Ruth, I have an idea. I read a book the other day, about some people who thought a burglar was coming, so they put tubs of water, and bells all over, and laid fly-paper on the stairs to catch him. Suppose we try that?” “Tine!” answered Ruth. “If he should fall into a tub of water, then ontu a lot of fly-paper, | guess he would think some other place more comfortable. Let’s get to work.” The result of two hours’ work would have driven the bravest thief from the premises. Cow-bells were tied to every door; a tub of water placed at the foot of the stairs; a pile of pans at the top, not to mention quantities of fly-paper placed at intervals, and rolling-pins, fruit-knives and bean-shooters placed under the bed, ready for use. At nine o’clock a ghostly procession might have been seen going up the back stairs. Mary was ahead, the baby under one arm, the cat under the other, and a bag of silver spoons tied to her wrist. Ruth guarded the rear, with a pen-knife in one hand and a potato-masher in the other. Secure in the knowledge that everything was burglar-proof, the two girls were soon sound asleep. About midnight they were awakened by a violent ringing of the cowbell on the front door. As they listened, terrified, they heard-a loud splash, followed by a scream. A few minutes later, a smothered ejaculaticn and a ripping sound, announced that the intruder had coming in contact with the fly-paper. “Oh! they are coming up,” panted the terror-stricken Ruth, clutching the baby, while Mary grasped a rolling-pin. When the pans at the top of the stairs fell with a crash, the panic-stricken girls, clutching the infant, sprang out of the window onto the roof. “Do you think he will come out here?” chattered Mary, as they crouched behind the chimney. For answer, they heard a step on the roof, and Mary, with a scream, gave a flying leap off the roof into a pansy-bed. Since the roof was low, she was unhurt. She looked up, expecting to see Ruth follow her example. What was her estonishment when she saw Ruth standing in the moon- light, on the roof, staring toward the window, with an expression of utmost amazement on her fact. Ruth had cause to be surprised, for, just as she was about to follow Mary, something caused her to look back. After one glance, she stood still with amazement, for there by the window, with an expression on her face impossible to describe, stood her aunt.

[Page six] My Creed s a loyal member of the Santa Rosa High School, I will not deface school property in any manner; nor will I allow others to do so in my pres- ence without a protest on my part. [ will be respectful to teachers and visitors. [ will do no act which might cast suspicion or misconduct upon my fellows. [ will not help myself to the property of others. We believe that this High School should have a well-defined purpose and spirit directing the course of the student body. nd we believe that such spirit should be such that it will promote co- operation and efficiency along those lines for which this school is main- tained. This school is maintained primarily for the purpose of making good citi- zens; secondly, for the attainment of knowledge. The quantity of knowledge gained by each pupil is his individual loss or gain, but the reputation of the school depends on the collective acts of the student body. The acts enumerated above influence to a very large degree the well- being of this school. Therefore we believe that all students who are proud of Santa Rosa High School will join with us in living up to the Creed above. We are now using one of the finest buildings devoted to school purpose in the State of California. Our parents have paid for it. It is our building, built for us. Let us unite in keeping it in its present spotless condition. Let us leave our names off the furniture and our class numerals off the walls. nd Let Us See That No One in Any Manner Defaces This Excellent Struc eure: TRACK Captain Lawrence Chapman with the aid of Coach Steele, will have a winning team in the field. The completion of the gymnasium will make it possible to put the team in the pink of condition. In order that the best re- sults may be obtained, it is necessary that as many as possible train. The captain is desirous that all Freshmen get out. Among the veterans are: Llyod Wilkinson, a star miler: Gore, Russels and Mills, in the hurdles; Ned Larimer, in the broad jump, and Clif Merrit, the weight man. Let us all do our part in getting up a team of which the school will be proud. BASEBALL The prospects for baseball are unusually promising this spring. We have an abundance of good material and more interes tthan has been evinced in the sport for years. Every indication points to a successful season. Several snappy preliminary games have been held prior to the tryout for the team. There are three or four candidates for each position and some lively competition will result. The players are keeping themselves in good trim by constant practice in the school yard, where the old discarded hand- ball courts are doing good service as back-stops. Among the fans baseball gossip fills the air, while rumors of dark horses. speed marvels and south-paws keep us on the edge of nervous prostration with excitement. Ne THE ECHO GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls! Stop! and fill your lungs with fresh air and school spirit for this semester. With the opening of this school year let us start with determina- tion to have the best team possible. We had a good team last semester, but we hope by the aid of several old players who are coning back, and other material found among us, to have the most successful team that the schooi has ever had. But we cannot accomplish this with the indifference and lack of interest now shown toward basketball. There is any amount of material among us, and it is hoped that they will readily take hold. It is up to each of us whether we will put the knowledge we have into practice or just remain quiescent sponges soaking in all the good that comes our way. Although we are not in any league this semester, by getting in good shape, we can play some city teams. Mr. Allen has agreed to coach the girls if enough interest is shown in the game. Basketball has reached its crisis: and now, girls, is your chance to show your school spirit. By your action it will be seen whether or not you want a team. Girls! let us have a team of which we can well be proud. By working together we can achieve the bes tof results. Above all, boost; don’t knock. A REMARKABLE STATEMENT (Published through the court esy of the Athletic Editor) Considering myself somewhat of an authority upon the subject of hand- ball, I read with disfavor your recent treatize on the game. Since its introduction into this school, handball has not only been the source of the greatest social pleasure to me but has contributed greatly to my physical well-being. For this reason I write in defense of the game, believing that I state the views of the handball players as a whole. We are all more or less foolish at times. You cannot blame us if we make handball our hobby or our fad, as you say no one is immune. Who knows but that you vourself Mr. Athletic Editor may yet fall a victim to the craze? The following statements are supported by a prominent member of the faculty : [ understand that the high school basement is reserved for the playing of handball. It is to be used for this.purpose alone. Quiet, orderly pupils, who do not interfere with the players, are allowed the privilege of eating here; nothing more. It is true that courts have been built for us in the yard; we have found it impossible to use them during rainy weather; we do not believe that we are on inconvenience to anyone. Basketball has a hall of its own. There are no other indoor sports worthy of mention. In fact, all others include rowdy- ism and rough-housing. Take for example, conditions during the last few weeks: The school has been terrorized by the so-called Tolonsi singers—those unruly Sophomores who disturb the quiet of our school with weird, unmusi- cal cries. Again, take for consideration the sign-painters, the midnight prowlers who besmeared our court with strange words and figures. Are these those clean, manly sports of which you spoke so much? [Page nine] | Owing to the illness of Mrs. Mills, the school has been able to arrange but one program this month.

[Page eleven] Although fewer in number than usual, the exchanges received during the month of January are.of high grade, both in appearance and from a literary standpoint. By our criticisms, we wish to acknownedge the receipt of the following papers, and beg that they do not discontinue their connespondence with us: The Cardinal, Milwaukee, Wis., Jan., 13: Your material and arrange- ment are good. However, by confining your ads. to the back, and by adding a table of contents, your appearance would be improved. Your cover de- sign is appropriate and artistic, and the article on “The Value of Remaining in High School,” is splendid. You have the appearance of a wideawake school. The Toltec, Durango, Colorado, Jan., 13: You have good, but poorly ar- ranged material. Editorials should follow the literary department. The ads. in the front detract from your appearance. Ask the “Yucca” about our ex- change cut. A small, though neat exchange is the Columbia Collegian, Milton, Ore- Son wDece 2! The Red and Black, Tampa, Fla., Dec., 12: Why not keep the ads. in the back of the book? A table of contents is lacking. Your literary depart- ment is good. The Campbell Union High School should be proud of The Oriole, Dec., 12. The material is very much above the average and the cuts are excel- lent. A new exchange, The Student Press, Blackfoot, Idaho: You use too much slang throughout your paper, and seem to place jokes above all else. Why not establish a literary department? It would improve your paper wonderfully. Glad to meet you. Come again. The Blue Owl, Attleborough, Mass., Dec., ’12: Your arrangement’ is poor. The literary department should precede the editorials and the ex- changes should come before the joshes. “A Few Acres” is a good story. The Comet, Jan., ’13: Your literary department is fine, and your cuts are very clever and artistic, but why do you spoil your appearance with those ads. in the front?

SANTA ROSA, MARCH, 1918 No. A Twentieth Century Nimrod AY) BOUT the middle of the af N47, Dick sat at his desk, half awake,—half asleep. His mind N was far from the history examination which was to come the . o ‘ . . . . Y next period, for as he reclined at his desk, idly watching the see : ees : distant hills, his overworked brain began to wander, and his CAS thoughts slipped back to by-gone days... Ben Steward was an old rancher and trapper owning a claim in the rough ] fternoon of a lazy day in June, a mountains of western Scnoma. Dick had been invited out to spend a few days, trout fishing and deer hunting, with his old friend, so he decided to go. The following evening found Dick eating supper with old Ben. Dick was familiar with the surrounding country for he had often passed through it when hunting or fishing. That night he lay awake several hours planning upon the hunt he intended to take the following day. In the morn- ing, he arose early, and ate a hearty breakfast. Ben, having sprained his ankle the day before was unable to accompany his young friend. As Dick followed an old pack-trail, leading up a brushy canyon through the Roughs and around to the Pea Vine Ridge, he made up his mind to go over the Devil's Ribs, and Deer Heaven, and see if he could get a shot a Clubfoot. Clubfoot was the name given to a large buck, which had its favorite haunts around Little Oat Hill and the Pea Vine Ridge, during the early part of the deer season. He was in the habit of crossing the Devil’s Ribs into Deer Heaven when the acorns began to drop. Between the Devil’s Ribs and Deer Heaven was a long ridge covered with acorn-bearing oaks. Underneath this ridge lay Dad’s Springs. This spring was one of Club- foot’s favorite haunts. Clubfoot, so it was supposed, was slightly deformed in one hind foot. He had been shot in this foot when a small forked-horn, but had recovered. Since then he had been seen off and on for five or six years by various hunters. He had been shot at hundreds of times, but it seemed as if he bore a charmed life. It was useless to think he had certain runaways, for every time he took a different route from the one whe was ex- [Page three] THE ECHO pected to take. One could tell in which section of the county his haunts were, but that was about all. Dick followed the old pack-trail about two miles, then when he reached the lower end of the Pea Vine Ridge, he turned sharply to the left, and fol- lowed a brushy point, leading to Devil’s Ribs. Devil’s Ribs was the name given to ten or twelve rough, rocky ridges, which branched on either side of one main irregular ridge. Most of these ragged ridges were covered with thick chemese brush. Between these ridges were clumps of pepper-wood trees, and in these deer were often found hiding from the hunters and their dogs. This wild-looking country could be seen for miles around. It was so hard to travel through, that few people attempt- ed to cross it . Many a time a misstep would mean certain death. Dick slowly made his way along the main ridge. Sometimes he would have to go down several hundred feet, then across a narrow piece of tangled brush, and up again to the other side. Every time he reached a high point, he tumbled rocks into the gulches below, and eagerly looked for a deer he might cause to jump up. He saw several cross points a long distance off, but they were beyond the range of the gun. After a while he heard a deer get up near by, but he seemed unable to get a clear view of it. He saw a large set of horns move, then a second later a large buck sprang into a gulch below, but he was not quick enough to get a shot. He crossed the Devil’s Ribs, and on reaching a small saddle on the other side, sat down a few minutes to get his breath. Then he went along the acorn ridge, and arriving at Dad’s Springs, sat down to eat his lunch. He felt somewhat tired, but after an hour’s rest, was eager to start again. He determined to hunt Deer Heaven out before returning. To do that he laid out the following plan: to go down to the left, then around to the right, and in this manner make a complete circuit, returning to the starting point. He had not gone far before he saw a nice buck crossing a small opening. He shot several times, but seemed unable to hit his mark. Then he ran sev- eral hundred yards across a small point, hoping to gain another view of his buck, but luck was against him. Sitting down upon a mossy stone he began to upbraid himself and meditate upon his hard luck. Then suddenly he gave a start and began to examine the trail at his feet. Naturally, a close observer, what he saw made his blood thrill. In the trail was an exceptionally large deer track, and several inches from it was a fawn’s track. The queer combin- ation of deer tracks was readily interpreted by Dick, for he had seen just such tracks several times before. The tracks were those of Clubfoot. In using his deformed foot he was forced to walk on the tip of his toe, thus causing what an ordinary observer might call a fawn’s track. The tracks were quite fresh, indicating that the much-coveted buck had been there quite recently. The young hunter examined his “30-30” carefully, then with alert eyes, and light tread, started to follow the trail. Every few yards he stopped to strain eye and ear. If a squirrel jumped in a nearby tree, or a bird flew suddenly across his trail, his heart jumped, for he expected to see his antlered prize at any moment. Several times he became bewildered as to what direction Clubfoot was going; but each time [Page four] THE ECHO he was lucky enough to find the track again. They led him through one ec dge of Deer Heaven and from there towards Dad's Spring. Shortly before reach- ing Dad’s Spring, he lost the trail and was unable to find it again. He con- cealed himself behind some bushes, hoping Clubfoot might come for a drink, but an hour passed and no deer appeared. He thought of a nearby clearing among some scrubby oaks, where deer came, quite often, to feed. The ridge caused the spot to be shady. This was one of the reasons the deer liked to feed in it. He amused Kintselt watching two yearlings, and as they fed thought of their beauty and innocence. About this time he thought of the long distance to go, and the rough country to pass through before reaching Ben’s cabin, so he started out in a brisk walk. As he approached the saddle he had passed on his way over it was about dusk. This little gap or saddle was a great place for deer to feed about this time of the ev ening, so he slackened his pace and crept stealthily up to the edge and peered below. A very large deer of some kind was feeding scarcely thirty yards from him. It was too dark to see whether the deer had horns or not. Lucky for Dick, the wind was blowing strongly toward him, so that the deer was unconscious of the presence of its most deadly enemy. The wind began to change, and at that moment the deer stopped feeding and raised it. head. Dick’s heart began to throb, and he seemed scarcely able to breathe for a huge set of a1itlers met his view. The buck seemed to grow uneasy and started to leave the saddle. Dick had regained his presence of mind, and quickly threw his gun to his shoulder, but it was too dark for him to see his sights. Drawing low, and trusting to luck, he fired. The buck gave a lurch to one side, then ran down the hillside. Dick threw another cartridge into the barrel, and started in pursuit. As the buck went through an open spot he shot three or four times. He thought he must be overshooting, so he drew still lower and fired. The buck at this shot fell, then rose again. Dick again shot twice. The buck fell forward, then lay be Dick ran quickly to the deer, and as he drew near, he gave a shout of joy, for he had slain Clubfoot. The horns very much resembled the branches of a dead manzanita bush. Dick could not help but cry: “Oh! what a magnificent set of horns: | certainly will have them mounted. What will the fellows say when they see them? And Clubfoot, too!” By this time it had become quite dark. He saw that something must be done, the quicker the better. One thing was certain: Clubfoot must be hung ip out of the way of the prowling animals. After about twenty minutes of strenuous labor, with the aid of a bale rope, he managed to hang the buck up, between two buckeye trees. The wind was blowing from the coast, and he fog was coming in fast. For the first time Dick fully realized his posi- tion. He was about four or five miles from home and he had to cross Devil’s Ribs. He was used to traveling at night, so, by the aid of the stars, he had ittle difficulty in finding his way the first half-mile. As he entered Devil's Ribs, he hesitated a moment, for the fog was coming in thick, hiding the stars. He thought of crawling under a tree, and spending the night there, but for several reasons he decided not to do so. It was getting cold, and he was cold, and he had promsied old Ben that he would be back that night. Ben might think his young friend had shot himself or had slipped and fallen while crossing Deyil’s Ribs. A panther had been seen in that locality several [Page five] THE ECHO times lately, and Dick being covered with blood, thought that he might be tracked if it should happen to be prowling around during the night. He threw the shell out of the barrel, and pulling his hat well down on his head, began his almost fool-hardy adventure. If it was almost impossible to cross the Ribs in broad daylight, what would it be to cross them during the night? It was so dark one could hardly see his hand before him.. He moved forward cautiously, clinging to the chemese brush as he went. When he was on a high point, it was impossible to know where he was; but, when he came to a low gap he could look up against the sky and see the outline of the main ridge. He got turned around several times, but when he did, he coolly stop- ped to figure out his surroundings. When about half-way across, he lost his hat, and was unable to find it. He thought he never would get across, but after hours of patient work he reached the other side. He flung himself upon the ground exhausted. His clothes were torn from head to foot; his hands and face were scratched and bleeding, and his hair hung in wet strings. As the wind howled through the trees, he thought of his wild surroundings and the heroic blood of his ancient ancestors thrilled within his veins. He thought of Clubfoot and of the rack of horns and smiled almost grimly. Then his thought changed, and he began to think of the day’s adventures and of what was still ahead of him. He was thrown upon his own resources—the man in him was being tried. This he knew, and was proud of it. Now he began to think of how he would make the next half-mile. If he could find his way up the timber-covered point, through a brushy swale to the foot of Pea Vine Ridge, he would be all right. If once on the old pack-trail, he would feel con- fident of the rest of the way. He knew it would be hard to go through the timber without getting lost, so he went slowly, studying the lay of the land. Dick knew he must be within about two miles of Ben’s cabin, so he shot his rifle three times. but received no answer. He had about concluded to lie down and wait until daylight, when he decided to try to find the old trail just once more. He went cautiously to the left. When he found the ground was becoming steep, he thought he must be entering the canyon through which the pack-trail passed. Once he thought he heard water running, but he was not certain. Suddenly he slipped off of an abrupt precipice, and tumbled through the darkness. He came to a stop with a splash, and picking himself up, he found himself in water above his knees. As he waded out, he noticed a tall pine a: ainst the sky, which looked famliar. Then he knew where he was, for the pine was just above the old pack-trail. He summoned his remaining strength and started to climb to the trail above. When about half way up, he became aware of someone poking h im in the ribs. He tried to draw away, but the poking became worse. Then he heard a familiar voice, and opening his eyes, he realized that his hunt had been but an empty dream. He scratched his head, rubbed his eyes, and strove to collect his scattered wit. He could scarcely believe his eyes, but was not kept in suspense long. ’Mid ripples of laughter, he was sent to the office— a sadder but a wiser lad. [Page six] Patty x IT’S the biggest crime of the year!” Peggy seated upon the ad table, emphasized her words with vicious little kicks against 4 a nearby chair. “Well, at any rate Peg, you can’t help matters any by scarring up the furniture,” quietly replied Katherine. i “T don’t care a snap about your old furniture, now! What I want to know is this: what’s the crew going to do tomorrow without Patty? Miss Spincer is an old cat to forbid Patty to row tomorrow, and why? all because she went to the matinee with Dick, unchaperoned. He is her cousin, too. I know it is against the rules and she ought to be punished,; but’—Peggy stopped abruptly, choked with anger. At that moment the door was thrown open and Jean landed in a heap on the bed. “For pity sakes, girls, cheer up!” she said as she raised herself to a sitting: position. “You look as forlorn as my last summer's hat, and say’—but no- ticing the injuring looks of all the six girls, she replied: “No girls, Miss Spincer simply won’t listen to reason. I tried to show her that St. Wisula’s girls can’t possibly win the rowing contest tomorrow unless we have Patty. | did everything imaginable to win her over, but she was positive. Well, as I started to tell you, there’s no sence in looking as doleful, and besides, I stopped in to see Patty as I came up, and,” she added, lowering her voice to a whisper, “she told me to have all you girls come quietly to her room to- night at twelve. Oh it’s going to turn out all right and Patty has something up her sleeve and she always comes out on top. Don't forget, twelve o’clock —and in the meantime, dress up in your prettiest and put on your sweetest smiles, because there are men to entertain this evening.” Jean bounced out of the room, leaving behind her six beaming faces; for not only had Patty devised some scheme, but that evenin gthere were t o be men present at dinner. The faculty had long ago decided, that except on such occasions as the present one, it would not be best for the girls of the school to have their friends to dinner in the evening. Consequently this evening was something to look forward to, and the girls with light spirits began to carry out Jean’s instructions. That night, any one happening to be in a dark corner of the hall, might have seen seven girls quietly wending their way down the hall to the east room. About half an hour later they, as quietly, stole out again to return to their rooms. The day dawned bright and early and the lake below the school sparkled in the bright sunshine of a glorious May morning. Already the girls were down at the boat-house, launching the boats, and getting them in readiness for the coming contest. Each year St. Wisula’s girls had their big annual boating sports with the girls of neighboring schools. But this year was to be a larger affair. St. Wisula was to compete with the boys of the Monzinita Academy. The stake was to be a grand gasoline launch. Crowds were already gathering on the banks and Miss Spincer arranged [Page seven] THE ECHO in her best was about to leave for the scene of action. She paused at the front door and reflected a moment, then turned and walked up the stairs and thence down the hall up to the very last room. She opened the door quietly and looked in. The shades were pulled down half way and deep steady breathing from a huddled form on the bed accured her that all was well. “It was rather severe, I guess,” she said, but immediately closed the door and shortly after left the building. A gun report and an instant later, the two boats shot out into the lake. “The Skip” was handled by St. Wisula’s girls and “The Merry Lass” by the Monzinita boys. The race was about half over and the crowd held their breath as the “Merry Lass” slowly and steadily crept ahead. Two-thirds of the way over and the speed began to tell on the crew of the “Merry Lass.” St. Wisula was straining every muscle and—yes, they were gaining! Again an audible silence from the crowd lining the bank. Every eye was straining now and the silence was growing tense. As stealthily and surely as a cat creeps on a bird, so the “Skip” crept up to the Monzinita. Another report and St. Wisula’s boat shot over the line half an oar’s length ahead of the other. A tall, dark girl stepped ashore followed by her crew. She was greeted with echoing shouts from all sides. The St. Wisula girls picked up the leader, triumphantly carried her through the crowds, and shouted at the top of their voices, “Patty! Three cheers for Patty!” A few minuates later a very bewildered and puzzled lady might have been seen wending her way through the crowd back to the school. Entering the door, she quickly mounted the stairs, and walked down the hall to the very last room. She entered, a girl with a radiant face turned towards her from the window. “Good morning, Miss Spincer; didn’t Patty and the girls do wonder- fully? I hada glorious view from this window. The report of the first gun awakened me.” Jean seeing the girls coming across the campus forgot Miss Spincer for the time being. Without waiting for a reply, she darted down the stairs, then across the lawn, and was greeted with open army by Patty.

[Page eight] THE ECHO The Mission Play N the shadows of the mission San Gabriel stands one of the most unique playhouses of the world. Here, the famous “Mission Play,” by John Steven McGroarty was staged on the 29th of April, t912. To understand the wonderful achievements of those priests, who gladly gave their lives ‘cr the progress of California, one need only attend this “Mission Play.” The playhouse is an oblong, adobe structure of the old mission type. In- side, all is rough, the rafters are visible and the walls are not plastered. From the central arch hangs one of the oldest bells in California. It is now used as a curtain signal, ringing between each act. No electric lights send forth their brilliant rays, only the waxen tapers gleam in the niches along the wall. A ceep blue tapestry, of wonderful beauty, falls in soft folds from the stage. : é - o A peaceful silence envelopes the whole. From the garden floats the breath of crenge blossom, while from the stage comes the peal of an organ. Suddenly the tapers flicker and grow dim, the tapestry is drawn aside; we gaze cn the False Bay at San Diego and the beginning of the dream of Spanish cclonization. Here, Gaspar de Portola, with his brave men, wait for the party in search of Monterey. At last, after months of waiting, all despair, save a man of indimitable courage, the Father Junipero Sevra. As the saintly man kneels in prayer, darkness creeps on and the sun sinks to its rest. Then suddenly, around the purple cliff, appears the fleck of a ship. The priest's prayer is answered; the dream is begun. While waiting for the next act, one may visit every mission in California, ky stepping across the threshold to the “King’s Highway” of miniature mis- sions. There, lighted as in the days of Spanish prosperity, are tiny buildings of the twenty-one missions of our State. When the bell tolls, we again enter the building to behold a scene of splendor and romance. Spain has reached the height of prosperity ; the dream is realized. The gay life of Monterey could not be more accurately pictured. Cosmepolitan groups of gaudy dressed Indians and Spaniards contrast most strikingly with the black-clad monks. But, if one be impressed by life in the second act, the third act brings only death and sadness. Ruin has fallen on Monterey. The padres’ rule is broken and the mission has ceased to be a factor in life, and becomes a mere mass of moss-grown ruins. The simple-hearted fathers have ceased to exist, while in their place stand Americans, dominating the life of this our glorious, Golden State. [Page nine] THK KCHO The Fairy Queen of Spring Hail! ye gay young Fairy Queen of Spring, With silver voice that seems to sing “Awake! Awake! you sleeping flowers nd come to deck my dainty bowers. ’ wake! Awake! and greet the Spring, Joy and sunshine she doth bring.” Now Winter is is o’er; the skies are clear. ! The sun shines bright and Spring is here. The Fairy Queen comes in glorious dresses, With floating hair like golden meshes. With smiling face and cheek of rose, She cheers each soul as singing she goes. Tripping and dancing from hill to hill, She wakes all nature with merry thrill. The birds fly forth with joyous lays, Greeting the Queen of merry days. The flowers shoot up beneath the trees, Proudly tossing their heads in the breeze, They seem to say, “What need we fear? Winter is over, the skies are clear, The sun shines warm, and Spring is here.” When she breathes on the orchard bowers, Each tree sends forth a thousand flowers. When she smiles on the gardens far and near, Ev'ry plant whispers, “Spring is here.” So, thus the Spring Fa’ry in her hour of bloom Is stirring all nature from Winter’s tomm, And changing the orchard and forest bowers To a brilliant carnival of flowers. {Page ten] THE ECHO is edited and issued the second Wednesday of each month during the school year by the students of the Santa Rosa High School.

Debating Manager [Page eleven] THE ECHO “Character is moral order seen through the medium of an individual Hatineseni Men of character are the conscience of the society to which they belong.” Character is the best foundation upon which to build a life. Outside the home, the school offers the greatest opportunity for building up a character. In our daily contact with our schoolmates, we should make our dealings with them fair. Stealing other people's spikes or small change is not so serious within itself; it is the result that is dangerous to society. One's conscience soon becomes hardened after a few offenses: we fail to discriminate between honesty and dishonesty, or right and wrong. The boys and girls in our school who are noted for their honesty are the ones most respected. It is they who uphold right standards for the school. Through them are the privileges gained. It is not essential that we learn all the things prescribed in the school curriculum, but it is essential that we establish a reputation for honesty, for that is the attribute we are judged by in the world. Character is not formed in a day, but through a train of circumstances. These incidents are of such a nature that we can shape our character. Bor- rowing our neighbor’s work instead of performing the task one’s self weakens one. In a race, if one were to quit the moment he felt the least bit tired, or felt a pain in his side, he would never win; the next race he would quit sooner, but if one exnects to win he must grit his teeth and keep on going. Every year we send out representatives of our school. From these me and women the school obtains its standing in the world. So it is important to have a firm foundation upon which to base our efforts in life. Thus far I have only mentioned what a person should endeavor to make him or herself, In order to establish a character that stands for something one must have the physical strength. One should enter some athletic activity to properly develop the muscles. Without strength one cannot carry on any important work. Two of our great patriots, Washington and Lincoln, were men of great physical strength. We cannot do better than pattern our lives after these twe brave, unselfish heroes. Our school offers excellent chances for physical development, for we have competent coaches to see that we do not overwork. Moral courage combined with physical strength is perfection. Special attention is called to the fact that Professor Blosser is organizing a band. Learn to play on some instrument. Santa Rosa High School has long been in need of a band to accompany its athletic teams. Much credit is due Mrs. Mills and Professor Blosser f or starting the movement. the band and be a BOOSTER. Join [Page twelve] TRACK The track season was opened on a ne wplan this spring. Prior to placing the men on the track, Coach Steele gave them a long course of gymnasium work in the annex. This is the finest thing possible to harden the muscdes and prepare one for the approaching grind. After giving the candidates a thorough workout on the floor, Coach Steele began to modify the time spent in wielding dumb-bells and to lengthen the period of actual practice in the open. As a result the new men are rounding up for the class field day in fine shape. The first meet of the season will be the big C. In this meet our captain, L. Chapman, will represent us in the mile and half-mile. We expect to see a record hung up. It is not probable that we will send a full team to this contest, however, it has not yet been definitely decided. Prospects seem unusually good this spring. With Chapman, Talbot and Wilkinson in the distance runs we feel perfectly safe. Then we have Gore and Russel in the hurdles: Mills in the high jump; Argyle and Russel in the quarter-mile. These men are veterans whom we know to be topnotchers. Besides these the following good material has shown up for practice: Steinnort and Marrow, fer the weights; Anderson and Frye, for the sprints; Freshman Gnesa for the pole vault, and Freshmen Hewitt and Robinson for short distance runs. Merritt is still heaving the hammer. He says, “Every time I eat a pie, | throw the hammer twenty feet farther.” BASEBALL There seems to be a great deal of interest taken in baseball this season, and if kept up Santa Rosa will put out a winning team. Mr. Allen, who is coaching the boys, was pleased with the showing they made in a practice game against the Business College team. The game was an exciting one, full of spectacular catches and good batting. Southpaw Argyle pitched a great game, tightening in the pinches, and keeping the hits well scattered. Roberts, the crack catcher, was on the receiving end; Maise held down first: George Marcni played second, and at the bat proved to be the star of the game by putting the ball into deep center for a home run. Watson played like a vet- eran. There will be another game, in which Coach Allen will work out some [Page thirteen] THE ECHO more men, among them being Frye and Hewitt, pitchers, both having great names when they pitched in the grammar school. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Santa Rosa has annexed two.new members—Hewitt, of Burbank, and Maise, of Healdsburg. This greatly strengthens the team. , The boys have been playing great ball, and if they keep the pace up will win the league championship of the S. N. S. C. A. L., which we are entitled | to play by having defeated Analy High by a score of 20 to 38. The feature of the game was the goal throwing of Trye and Hewitt, Frye scoring 10 points, and Hewitt, 14. The next game was with the Vallejo All Stars. In this game the boys put up a great fight. The opposing team far outweighed our men, but were held to the score of 19 to 29 in Vallejo’s favor, On Friday, the 8th, our team defeated the town team in a fast game. In the first half the score was 14 to 2 in the High School's favor; in the second half the score was 15 to 25 in our favor. Let’s hope the team will win the championship game to be played here March 14th or a2tst. There is one way to help the team, and that is, to all show up the night of the game to root and root hard. | Girls’ Basketball , During the last month, basketball, under the supervision of Mr. Allen, has made noticeable progress. The girls are turning out for practice work, and it is to be hoped that they will continue the splendid work which they are doing. A meeting was held in which Mary Matthews was elected captain, and Adelle Fredrick as manager. The selected team met and defeated the Petaluma girls, February 28th, by a score of 9 to 6. The teams were well matched and it proved an interesting game. , 4 [Page fourteen] A new and lively interest is being put into the work for the Friday morn- ing programs. Members of the Student Body are quick to respond to any ot Mrs. Mills’ arrangements for this interesting work. The programs for the month have been exceptionally entertaining.

Debating Our debating team was defeated in a hotly contested “Bottle of Words” against Cloverdale on February 14. This was the semi-final of our league debates, and was held in the opera house at Cloverdale. A large crowd of Cloverdale supporters were present. The debate was called to order by Chair- man DeWitt Montgomery. Te question contested we, “Resolved, That the Sherman Anti-Trust Law Should Be Repealed.” The debate was opened by John Cooley of Cloverdale, and was followed by Douglas Cameron of Santa Rosa. Cloverdale was then represented by Charles Grant, followed by Grace Titus of Santa Rosa. The speaking was closed by Nettie Beasley of Cloverdale, and Frances Ahl of Santa Rosa, the latter securing the highest honors. The judges. were: C.-L. Ledgely, Cloverdale; Prof, H. R.

Your’e wanted at the phone.’ Flossie was was as popular with every one else as she was with the college girls, so she was occustomed to these urgent calls to answer the telephone. “Yes—Yes Well, it all depends——You are ? Oh ! what fun |--J. should say we will !—No, I’m sure the girls will not mind. They'll think it a perfect lark!” By this time we were all in- ‘perfect lark,” terested, since it seemed that we, too, were to figure in that so we gathered around Flossie to listen to the one-sided conversation. “The poor freshman,” we heard. ‘We certainly shall—When will he be down.” “He !” we whispered. “When will he be down?” Well of all the mysterious— “Girls !” broke in Flossie, hanging up the receiver, “those boys are ini- tiating their freshmen—doing dreadful things to them, I imagine. They have asked us to take one of them off their hands for about an hour, until they can prepare for the rest of the initiation. Arthur says for us not to give the freshman too grand a time, but to make him do all of the disagree- able, ridiculous things that we can imagine. I promised that we should ‘put him through,’ as Arthur expressed it, but now I haven't the least idea what we can do to him.” By this time we were so excited over the prospect of what that poor freshman should have to endure, and so amused at the helpless look in Ilossie’s face, that we burst out laughing. “Never mind, Flossie! I guess eleven of us shall be equal to one boy, and a freshman, at that ! But what shall we do ?” “Mercy ! It’s six o’clock and he’s coming at half past. We haven’t even had dinned yet ! Some one get a bright idea, quickly, or we’re lost !” [Page three] THE ECHO “Grace, where’s your little embroidered apron ? Let’s make him wait on the table for dinner,’ some one suggested. “Good ! That is just the thing ! But we will have to have something good to eat; lots of courses, you know, to keep him busy, or we might not be able to manage him.” As some of us rushed frantically up town, for nuts and celery, for salad, others prepared desert, or arranged the table. Our plans for the entertain- inent of that freshie were growing all the while. When Arthur came to en- trust us with our charge, we were bubbling over with enthusiasm. Before Arthur left, he gave the freshman a last solemn warning, “Now if you don’t do just as you're told up here, I'll hear about your disobedience. It will be that much worse for you when we get you back to the house. See ?” The freshman evidently “saw,” for he meekly turned around for us, in the dining room, without objection, while we satisfied ourselves with laughing at his ridiculous garb. The boys had evidently had their fun dress- ing him for his part. He was coatless, with only bedroom slippers on his feet, white flannel trousers, decorated with red ribbons, a red flannel shirt, and a red vest, with yellow embroidery to match. On his head, he wore the regulation freshie cap, about the size of small biscuit, and around his neck, suspended by a yellow baby ribbon, hung the freshie’s Bible, and a book ot rules. His whole atire was so funny, that we decided to add to his beauty by tying the little white apron around his neck. s Although, outwardly, the freshman was a model ifor obedience and defer- ence, we found our water salted, and our carrots peppered until they were nearly black. We then threatened to “tell” on him. After this the freshie behaved himself dutifully, until, deciding that our own two freshies were having too great an advantage in being allowed to sit and laugh at their fellow freshmen, we sent them out to the kitchen to help the waiter. For several minutes we waited patiently for our desert. When it was not forthcoming, we threatened to go in to see what the waiters were doing. This threat succeeded in bringing them, for in they filed, solemn as owls, each balancing three clean dinner plates. with a dirty, raw potato on each. Scandalized at the disobedience of these impudent freshies to the commands of their dignified seniors, we sent them hurrying back to bring us our desert, declaring that we should surely “tell.” Dinner was nearly over, but we could think of nothing else for the freshman to do. We couldn’t allow-him an idle moment. We called for everything from a box of candy from the candy store near by, to a can of red pepper from the top shelf of the pantry. Flossie, conceiving a bright idea, emptied the water pitcher out the window, so she could tell the fresh- man to fill it. He obediently took it to the kitchen, so he was again at work. Grace signalled to us that she had an idea. When the freshie entered with our water, she called him to her. “We left the ice cream down in the basement, so I guess you will have to go down to get it. Out that door, yes. The stairs haven't any railing, be careful.” We heard the freshman stumble down those dark, narrow, crooked [Page four] “i THE ECHO stairs from the second story flat to a basement as dark as Egypt, to hunt for an imaginary freezer, full of imaginary ice cream. We laughed until we were sure he should hear us and return. For fully twenty minutes he didn't appear. Every time we thought of the freshie floundering and bumping around that dark, freezing basement, we burst into peals of laughter, until when our victim appeared, grinning sheepishly, we were on the verge of tears. We stood around to watch and ridicule while the freshies gathered up the dishes, but after they had escaped with them to the kitchen, they locked the door from the inside. Judging by the laughter, they weren't washing them� very industriously, but we were powerless to interfere. or to keep the fréshie from having an enjoyable time. While trying to decide whether to do our duty, or to let the poor children have their fun, Arthur came for the freshman. Our poor waiter was dragged from the kitchen, protesting that he shouldn't leave all those dishes for us to wash. But he was hustled out the door, saying, as he went, that his freshie cap should be left as a momento of the fun. John Junior--Quarter Miler O, sir ! exclaimed John Hartwell, “no athletics while you are in college. I had enough of that while you were in High School. Look at the marks you received !_ You have to study in college.” “But, father,” said John Junior, in disappointed, “[——” “ “No ‘buts’ about this, you must do as I say, or else you don't go.” John was greatly disappointed, but he did not refuse to go on account of his father’s command. In High School, he had been a crack quarter- miler, and he hoped that under the college coach’s training, he could make a Varsity sprinter. Now, all of his dreams were shattered by his parent’s order. Nevertheless, he had registered in the university by the first of September. His father had been firm, and so, when the call for track can- didates was issued, John did not respond. One day, shortly after his entrance, he unfortunately made some re- marks about the upper-classmen, while in the presence of a bunch of sen- iors and juniors, among them the star varsity sprinters. They immedi- ately gave chase. To the surprise of the spectators and coach, John outran even Forker, the champion quarter-miler of the state. The coach, overjoyed, urged John to get out and train, but John, mind- ful of the father’s decree, refused. Naturally the coach was somewhat de- pressed, but did not give up hope. He wrote a letter to Mr. Hartwell, be- seeching him to let John run. Both were hopeful of him relenting, and expectantly awaited several days for an answer, only to be disappointed. The coach, angered, forsook John, who to relieve his depression, took a walk into the country. Reaching a place, about a half-mile from the city, he lay down behind a hedge. [Page five] THE ECHO While here, he heard an approaching motorcycle, and looking out, saw two men stop directly in front of him. He was about to rise and leave, when one sentence uttered, made him drop low. One man muttered, “You wait here with the machine, while I get the money.” Listening quietly, he heard that they were planning to blow up the safe in a rich broker’s office at eleven o’clock. It was now about seven. To the waiting boy it seemed as if they would never leave, but finally about nine o'clock, he heard the puff, puff of the starting engines. Looking out, he thought he saw two cycles disappearing into the gloom, so he arose and stepped into the road. “Ah ! ha ! cried a harsh voice—for one robber had gone. “You wili spy on us.” Before John knew it, he was grasped by a pair of strong arms, then securely tied to a nearby tree, and the man proceeded to watch the prisoner. John watched his guard, taking a mental discription of the man— dark, tall, slender, and dressed in a black suit. After struggling for quite a while, John succeeded in freeing his hands. Upon starting to dash for liberty, the second burglar returned, recapturing him, and calling his partner com- plimentary names for being so negligent. The bandit remained until about half past ten, then, after once more inspecting the knot of the rope, set out for the city. The other thief began to nod. Within ten minutes he was, to all appearances, fast asleep. John had been working furiously at the rope, and now, after struggling for about three-quarters of an hour, had worn the cord by rubbing it up and down tree. Quickly drawing out his knife, he opened the big blade, ran to the motorcycle, and thrust the sharp blade into the tires of the machine. He then started on a fast sprint toward the town. Panting greatly, he reached the business section of the city, and by good luck, met Mr. Henley, the man whose office was to be robbed. Hurriedly, John told the story, then, beckoning a policeman, ran up the stairs, followed by the broker. Creeping quietly down the hall, they reached the office, and saw beneath the door, a light. Very cautiously, they turned the knob, then looked in. The burglar was already at work, a dark lantern at one side, tools spread out on the other. He was confident of success. He had just gained an opening in the door,——— “Hands up,” growled the gruff policeman. Startled, the thief turned, only to look down the dark barrel of a revolver. The next minute handcuffs were snapped onto his hands, and he was led away. John went home with a feeling of pride. Two days later, he received a letter from his father, that said: “I have heard of your little affair of the other night, and I must say, that athletics are not so bad after all. It was your ability to sprint that saved the safe. Now, Mr. Henley is my agent, and the safe, during that particular night, contained a great deal of my money. If the ‘safe-cracker’ had been success- ful—well, you would have had to quit college. Now, I want you to train and win the quarter. I'll be there to see you.” With a whoop of joy, John ran to the coach, then rushed into the training room, ready for work. Need- less to say, in the big meet ten weeks later, John Junior won his event to the delight of not only himself, but his “deep-dyed” athletic father. [Page six] if Ghe Haunted “ Alice Ann” NE evening in June, when the nights were calm and sultry, L sauntered down to the beach to watch the moonlit waves. As I strolled slowly along, I was startled from my reverie by a voice a short distance in front of me. Glancing up, I saw an old sailor, who for many years had lived in his two-roomed cabin, here on Nantucket beach. Feeling in need of some amusement, I decided to stop and induce the old man to tell me a sea-tale, for which he was famous. “Good evening, Captain Harman, I see you are enjoying this wonderful evening also,” I said, taking a seat on the bench beside him. “Yes, sir,” replied the Captain, “I have been thinking about the time | shipped on the ‘Alice Ann.’ This night brings back old recollections. There’s going to be a storm before long,” he declared, pointing to the sky, over which hung a dark haze, obscuring the light of the moon. “Yes, a storm, like the one when the ‘Alice Ann’ was first launched.” “Tell me about it,” I begged, feeling that Captain Harmon was fairly bub- ling over with reminiscences. The old salt removed his pipe from his lips, leaned back against the cabin, then began the following tale: “Tt was about thirty-five years ago, maybe more, when I first became mate under Captain Nelson, that I had the queerest experience in my long life on the sea. The ‘Alice Ann’ was as trim and tight a craft as ever sailed opt of Nantucket, but there were some drawbacks which the superstitious sailors could not overcome. She was said to be haunted. When the ‘Alice Ann’ had been built, she was named for the two old- maid daughters of John Ainsworth, who owned the best ships on the coast. “Well. when the time came for the ‘Alice Ann’s’ maiden trip, it was de- cided that Ainsworth’s daughters should make the first voyage with her. “Taking two women out in a ship like the ‘Alice Ann’ was a risky thing to do, especially at that time of year, but just for a lark, they risked it. “That night, one of the worst storms .[ ever remembered, swept the decks of the ‘Alice Ann.’ When morning came, most of the crew and the two women were missing. The ‘Alice Ann’ crept into harbor next day, only to be sent up for repairs. “When ready for use again, no crew could be found to man her. The fatal outcome of her first voyage, left an impression on the minds of the sailors. She was haunted ! “Finally, the owner became tired of the whole affair, saying that if a crew could not be found soon, he would burn her. She was too good a craft for such a fate, so Captain Nelson took command of her. The crew was composed of reckless young men like myself. I was first mate, Jim Weatherby the second mate, and Fred Hancock boatswain. “We heard all sorts of stories about ghosts, but nothing hindered our determination. “We set sail at sunrise, July 17, 1877, with a full cargo, bound for Wil- mington. The first day out, all went well, no spooks appeared, and our captain was ready to laugh at the haunted idea. About evening of the sec- ond day, our Chinese cook came rushing up on deck, his pigtail flying, and his eyes fairly popping from his head.” “Well, Sam, I suppose you have been seeing ghosts, haven’t you ?” [Page seven] THE ECHO laughingly asked Captain Nelson. “Oh ! him comee and takee allee potatoes. Spooks come and takee food; elt all gone,” panted Sam. “Nonsense,” exclaimed Captain Nelson,” go back and get me some- thing to eat at once. Don’t let me hear of any more such foolishness.” Still insisting that spooks were aboard, our almond-eyed cook retreated slowly. “That night I had an experience that made me inclined to believe the cook's story. I was suddenly awakened by hearing something moving about in my room. The sound resembled a person fumbling for something. | listened intently, and presently heard the intruder slip into the corridor. In an instant my gun was in my hand. I stole swiftly after my midnight visitor, but could find no trace of him. My clothes had been disturbed, a short knife 1 always carried was missing. When | reported my experience to the captain, he insisted that | had been dreaming, and had lost the knife the day before. But when other sailors also reported that sounds had been heard, he seemed inclined to believe it. “Matters went on in this way, as we pourneyed south, the cook sending out alarms about twice a day, the men continually reporting some thrilling experience. “The climax came when I was awakened one night by some one in the room. I laid my hand on my gun, then waited. Presently footsteps ap- proached my bunk. Steathly footsteps that sent shivers up and down my Spine. “Inwardly I began to doubt if I should ever live to see Wilmington. The doubt changed to a certainty, when, by a faint light in the room, I saw something gleaming above me. Heartily wishing myself anywhere but on board the ‘Alice Ann,’ I raised my gun and fired. “In an instant the sailors came running, demanding to know if the ghost was abroad again. Springing up, I lit a candle, expecting to see the ghost on the floor. I was scarcely able to believe my senses, when I saw nothing but a small spot of blood, and the knife stolen from me. We searched all night. If it had not been for the evidences left on my bunk, | believe I should have really been converted to the ghost theory. We were thankful indeed to cast anchor at Wilmington, with our cargo, safe, but the mystery of the ‘Alice Ann’s’ ghost was still unsolved. “That afternoon, as I was overseeing a gang of men unloading the cargo from the hold, a cry from a sailor below caused me to peer curiously into a dark corner.” “Here’s the ghost, Jack Harmon,” called the boatswain, as he lifted a dark form from the floor. “When the body was brought on deck, it was found to be that of a crazy Mexican, who had a habit of hiding on ships, thus causing mutinies and deaths by his antics. As nothing had been seen of him for some time he had been forgotten until his adventure on board the ‘Alice Ann,’ where he had played his last trick. He had evidently managed to hide before the gun- shot killed him. He was such a menace to all craft around Nantucket, that it was with great relief that we were at last assured of his death.” The old sailor then fell into a reverie, so thanking him, I left him won- dering if the tale was really true.

The facilities offered here are far above those of the average High School. But good buildings well J equipped with poor scholars are not half so valuable to a community as a poorly equipped school with energetic students seeking to learn. A number of years ago, a poor boy wished to secure as education. His financial circumstances were such that he was to work his way thru school. He became janitor of the school. He swept the building, while other boys played billiards. Who was this young man, who became a poet of interna- tional reputation ? It was Edward Markham, author of “The Man With a Hoe,” This is only one of many instances where a boy with an ambition succeeded. We expect the public to provide us with equipment; the public has a right to expect us in our turn to make our work so efficient that our presence in society will be for its betterment. We do not always seem to realize the necessity of applying ourselves. When it is too late, we regret that we slighted our studies. Patrick Henry, who planted the seeds of patriotism in our forefathers, realized that his power to do good, was greatly limited because of his lack of education. One never knows when he will be called upon to perform some task of importance. Education should prepare one to rise to the occasion. The man or woman who succeeds today must be prepared to meet the issue when it comes. While securing an education one should not limit his endeavors to special subjects. He should broaden his mind by taking studies not directly con- nected with one’s line of work. Knowledge gained is always a help. In over- coming lessons which are difficult and irksome, we form a habit of sur- mounting obstacles. One must always keep in mind the old adage, “There is no royal road to learning.” Unfortunately we see many pupils complaining about their studies and what a hardship it is to have to attend school five days out of the week. This class represents the great majority of grumblers. They be- moan their fate, always wishing to wake up and find their dream of life has turned into reality. This class of students never help the school achieve a name. Let us, while the opportunity is present secure an education which will enable us to do our duty towards ourselves and our fellow men to the highest degree. In order to g etthe most out of school, one should enter some activity. They add diversity to school work which is the spice of life. There are the outdoor sports which appear to those with lots of vim. They afford the in- dividual a chance to secure physical developments. The debating society offers opportunities of becoming fluent speakers. The glee, the orchestra, and the band offers splendid opportunities of increasing one’s musical abili- ties, The various activities are carried out by different members of the fac- ulty, who have the welfare of the school at heart, and who take a pride in producing winning teams to bring honor to our school. [Page ten] GIRLS BASKETBALL The girls have developed a fair team, but there are not so many out for practice as there were formerly. This makes it hard for us to develop a winning team. There should be enough girls interested to make at least two teams at each practice. A good team is not developed from a few, but from many. This High School should always be represented by a winning team. We have more material among us from which to make a good team than any other High School near. March 28, our team played Vallejo, but was de- feated by a score of 16 to 11. Both the tiring trip and the absence of two of our regular players were disadvantages. The defeat would never have happened, had we had extra players from which to choose competent sub- stitutes. Such is opssible when many take hold. The team wished to play and win another game so the members may win the “S.” Basketball is an all-round exercise. The exercise is enjoyable, since we can complete it with a warm or cold shower. We practice in the gymnasium of the Annex. Show that you appreciate the advantage offered by making good use of the new building. BASEBALL Baseball opened the season in great shape by winning the first league game from Petaluma, by a score of Ir to 0. It was a great game, full of pepper and fight. Pitcher Fry of the home team proved to be a star, pitching a no hit, no run game. This little pitcher is apt to be with the Seals if he keeps up the good work, but all of the credit must not go to the pitcher, for there were eight men on the team that worked just as hard. Catcher Roberts caught a great game, holding the runners helpless on bases ; Geo. Maroni was the heavy batter of the day, getting a home run, a base hit, and two singles out of four times up to the bat. The infield was invincible, not a grounder going through them. The coach, Mr. Allen, is out practicing with the boys every night, trying hard to put out a winning team, which he undoubtedly will accomplish—let us hope so. Help him by going to the games and rooting for the boys. I am sure if every one comes to the games the boys will win. Try and see; it does no harm. A 4 [Page eleven] THK ECHO Grack The annual class field-day was held on the High School oval. The Sopha- mores won with a score of 64 points; the Seniors second, with 43; the Fresh- men third, with 31, and Juniors, 26.

The captains of the various teams were: Stew. Rogers, Sophomore; Ar- thur Meese, Senior; L. Wilkinson, Junior; Louie Gnesa, Freshmen. Captain L. Chapman represented us at the Big C and at Stanford Inter- scholastic. Owing to climatic conditions he was unable to train properly, yet he made a very creditable showing at the two meets, by taking second in the half-mile in both the meets. At the S. N. S.C. A. L., we secured second place without experiencing any difficulty. The meet was one of the fastest held for a number of years. Chapman distinguished himself by running two great races. Without any competition, he ran the half-mile in 2:06, and then ran the mile in the fast time of 4:40 without being pressed. This was a faster mile than the Big C was won on. Russell and Gore did good work in running the hurdles. Gnesa vaulted in form, taking second place. Merritt won the discus throw. Before Merritt finishes school he will at up some records that are going to be mighty hard to beat. Briggs, the star sprinter of Wiese ran the 220 in :22 flat. 50 yard dash—-Briggs (H), Ellis (A). too yard dash—Briggs (FI), Ellis (A), Fucha (A). 220 yard ee (H), Fucha (A), Rogers (S R). 440 yard dash—Frost (H), Barlow (A). 880 yard dash—Chapman (S R), Skilling (P), Falconer (N).

Songs by the School Mildred Turner, pianist DEBATING The debating class has held some interesting programs during the past month. Leo Sullivan gave a clever argument on “International Arbitration.” Joe Maddux, another member of the society, delivered a fine argument on “Popular Election of Senators.” We see no reason why Maddux will not make a second Stephen Douglass. A challenge debate is to be held with Sonoma High in the New Annex, on May 25, upon the following question: “Resolved, That the President of the United States should hold office for one term of six years.” Sonoma and Santa Rosa should put up a close debate, as both were defeated by Cloverdale in the semi-finals. It is hoped a large crowd will turn out to hear the debate. Much credit is due Mr. Montgomery for the interest he has shown in developing debaters.

What a neat appearing paper you have ! So compact and well arranged. However, we criticize the ads in front, especially on the front cover. The Anvil, Plainesville, Ohio, March, 1913. Though small, an exceed- ingly neat and interesting paper. Our namesake, The Echo, from Savannah, Mo., for March, 1913, has good material and artistic cuts. It would improve her appearance, however, :f she would confine her ads to the back of the book. The Orivle, Campbell, Cal., February, 1913, is up to her usual standard. We can find nothing to criticize except those ads in the front. The Pennant, Elkhart, Ind., April, 1913. A neat, sensible cover design ; good cuts; good stories; and good arrangement of material. Except for the ads in front, you are beyond criticism. Pine Breeze, Placerville, Cal., April, 1913. Your paper is excellent in every respect. You are to be congratulated on it. The Owl, Fresno, Cal., April, 1913. You are up to your usual standard of good stories and well arranged material. Kodak, Everett, Washington, March, 1913. Certainly an interesting paper. Good cuts, well arranged material, and an excellent cover design. High School Panorama, Binghamton, N Y., March, 1913. A good paper from cover to cover, but those ads in front detract from your otherwise ex- cellent appearance. The Almanck, Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, Ill., March, 1913. What ex- cellent cuts you have, and what a sweet story is “The Little Spanish Dancer.” In fact your whole paper is above criticism. What a number of Echos we do find, another comes from Griffith Insti- tute, Springfield, N. Y., (March, ‘13). It is a smail but interesting paper. Improvement could be made, however, by confining the ads to the back of the book. r The Black and Gold, McKinley High School, Honolulu, March, 1913 Another exceedingly clever little paper spoils its appearance by putting ads in the front. Why do you do it ? The Artisan, Mechanic Arts High, Boston, Mass., March, 1913. You have improved wonderfully since the last number we received. Your ma- terial is good and your arrangement is fine. A few more cuts, however, would add to your appearance. The Comet, West Pittston, Penn., March, 1913, comes up to her usual mark. The general appearance could be improved by confining the adver- tiing matter to the back of the book. [Page fifteen] Governing Board Report March 12-13—A regular session of the Governing Board.

And what a number of exchanges she receives. A paper containing good material, and neat in appearance. is the Academy for March, 1913. It hails from the German-English Academy, Milwaukee, Wis. The student body of the East Division High School, Milwaukee, surely must be: proud of the twentieth anniversary number of their paper, The Mercury, (April, 1913). We wish you many happy returns of the day. y. I 913 : 5 PP! 4 Three more exchanges have come in just in time for criticism: The Sotoyoman—Healdsburg, March, ‘13. First, your cover design is very attractive. Your arrangement is excellent. All your stories are inter- esting and well written. The poetry, lacking in many papers, is very pleas- ing. A heavier grade of paper, however, would add to the appearance of your paper. Next, The Owl, from Fresno, for May, appears. This number seems to be devoted to legends, and what sweet ones they are. “The Legend of Niagara,” and “The Legend of Silver Lake”! ‘The Fall of the Mighty” is also a well written little story, in fact, your whole literary department is excellent. The other departments are also well filled and well arranged. The cuts are also far above the average in attractiveness and art. Another thing about which we wish to compliment the Owl, she keeps her ads in the back of the book. As a whole, the paper is excellent. The Skirmisher—St. Matthew's School, Burlingame, Cal., May, ’13, con- tains twenty-four pages of the best literary material we have read in any school magazine this month. “The Last Dance,” and “My First Experience as a Detective,” are above criticism. All the other departments and your cuts are fine; also another feature worthy of praise is that your ads are confined to the back of the book. [Page sixteen] 4 « 3 Teacher in Eng—lI am beautiful.

Windows and doors were thrown open to catch the least trace of cool air that might be in motion. The drone of lessons being repeated in one of the class rooms floated in at the study hall door. Students were restless and inattentive to their work; their thoughts wander- ing towards shady swimming pools and refreshing drinks rather than Alge- bra and Caesar. The last period of the day had just taken up, when I sat idly back iu my seat, reading my favorite story from the Arabian Nights, that of Eli and lis ivory tube—the magic tube through which one could see anything that one would express a wish to see. As I sat there, mingling my thoughts with ‘li and the coming graduation, suddenly without a moment's warning, the study hall vanished from sight, my seat broke loose from its fastenings, and began to fall—down, down, down—would I ever stop falling ! The shaft hrough which I was making this lengthy descent was very dark, the only illumination being the faint glow of a small electric light here and there. When it seemed to me as if | were doomed to fall forever, suddenly daylight flooded the scene, and I landed with a hard bump in the middle of a green lawn. Large shade trees dotted the lawn at intervals, and two huge foun- tains played into marble basins of pond lilies. Around the lawn in great rofusion, grew red, pink, white, and yellow roses, and roses of all sorts and descriptions, sending forth an almost overpowering fragrance. Formid- able stone walls enclosed this garden, at the farther end of which a massive brass door opened into a huge edifice of Oriental architecture. [ sat up, rubbed my eyes, and gazed around in a half dazed way. Then noticed a man coming towards me. He wore a turban, a short, ragged jacket of green material, and long, ragged red bloomers. On his feet were a air Of Turkish slippers. As he approached, I hailed him to ask him what lace this was, and as he stepped up to me, I noticed that he carried in his land an ivory tube. He told me that I had fallen into the rose garden of the Sultan of Turkey and offered to show me the way out. As we walked along together, | mentioned the ivory tube that he carried in his hand, and 1e said, “Yes, I suppose you have read about me. I believe I am famous the world over. I[ am Eli of the Arabian Nights, and this is the wonderful ivory tube. But, ah ! me! times are hard. The late war with the Balkans las impoverished my family so, in order to raise a little money, I am now willing to part with the magic tube. I will sell it for cost—forty pieces of silver.” “Flas it still its magic properties,” I asked? “Can you still see through it, the person you wish to see?” [Page Thirteen] THE ECHO “Aye, and hear that person's voice. It will also give you glimpses into the future,” answered Eli. “Oh, let me have it.” I cried. “Will it, O, will it show me the future of the Class of June, 1913?” “Yes,” said Eli. “You have but to express that wish and place the tube to your eye.” He then handed me the tube. Raising it to my eyes, I cried, “O, most wondrous tube. It is my wish to see the future of the Class of June, 1913. Immediately, the interior of a stylish cafe appeared before my eyes. A gentleman came in and seated himself at a table in the far corner. As he looked over the menu, a dainty little waitress in white uniform approached to take his order. As he gazed down the bill of fare, he said principally to himself, “How’s the chicken?” and the waitress answered quickly, “O, I’m all right.” When they realized they had sprung that time-worn joke, they both laughed, and then I recognized them—Arthur Meese and Helen Fraser. The scene then shifted to a court room. A famous criminal lawyer was making a plea for his client. At this moment, I heard in sonorious accents: “Gentlemen of the jury, gaze for one moment into the features of the defen- dant. Look into his eyes, his nose, the shape of his ear. Can't you see that he hasn't the features of a criminal ? Can't you tell that this man wouldn't commit such a heinous offense as to steal a chikcen ?” I needed no more. I could recognize that voice anywhere. Yes, it was he—J. Raegen Talbot. Raising the tube to my eye again, I saw the inside of a lawyer’s office, where a stenographer bent diligently over the typewriter, writing for all she was worth. A young man entered and seated himself opposite the lawyer. The stenographer turned her head shyly around and winked at him. After that the conversation was quite broken for the client was always turning around to look at the stenographer, and she would ever and anon roll her big blue eyes at the man. It w as sometime before I recognized her, but I finally did, and was quite surprised to see that she was my classmate— Elsie Keller. An airship in full flight next appeared before the vision of the ivory tube. Beside the aviator sat a young man who appeared to be very nervous. Suddenly the airship dropped to earth in front of a lovely home in the midst of the fairest orange groves. As if answering a whistle from the young man, a girl rushed forth from the house into his arms. After a fond embrace, they jumped quickly into the airship and whisked away to the house of a Justice of the Peace, in whom I recognized my friend Charlotte Van Wormer. Two young ladies present, whom on closer inspection I recognized as Flora Blane and Abby Wilkinson, together with the aviator, who proved to be Gladys Carithers, acted as witnesses for the wedding ceremony. When I recognized these people as my classmates, naturally I looked closer to see if [ knew the bride and groom. And sure enough I did, for the prospective bride, blushing like a June rose, proved to be none other than Eunice Silva, and the nervous young groom at her side, Stirling Coulter. [Page Fourteen] THE ECHO There next appeared a large brick building fro mwhich sounds very much resembling the screeches of a dozen tom cats issued forth. “What can this place be? Is it possible that this noise can go on without the occupants of the building being arrested for disturbing the peace?” “Why that,” answered a voice, “is a fashionable vocal conservatory, conducted by Miss Barbara Dows, and Miss Mary Thompson. Miss Dows and Miss Thompson are now singing a duet for the benefit of their class.” A great city next appeared before my eyes. The streets were thronged with people. Flags were flying and music could be heard. Just then a great procession came down the street, at the head of which in a carriage drawn by two coal-black horses, rode a woman clad in a white gown and a white hat. “What place is this?” I asked. “Why this is greater Bennett Valley that you see,” a voice answered. “The people are having a Fourth of July celebration and the woman you see heading the procession is the new Mayor, Frances Ahl.” A merry-go-round running in full blast at the celebration was brought into prominence. As I looked closer I recognized the engineer as my class- mate, Charles Roberts, and the lady in the ticket-office as Ernestine Pedrotti. The scene now shifted to a pugilistic ring, where the champion light- weights were about to begin the first round. The wistful expression of one of the champions attracted my attention, and on looking closer, I noticed that it was no other than my classmate, Mildred Wadsworth, and her op- ponent, the dignified Tillie de Bernardi. The opponents glaring and scrowl- ing at each other, could only be restrained by the main force of their respec- tive trainers, Allison Dickson and Gladys Gilman. The portals of a huge library came into view, where a lady had just in- quired of the librarian, whom I recognized as Ruth Wright, for a book en- titled “The Agonized Groan,” written by the famous author, Vera French, but not finding it she then asked for the latest novel, “The Piano Tuner’s Elopement,” by that popular novelist, Ethel Helman. T gazed next into an artistic studio. A lady cartoonist, in whom IT recog- nized as Aliede Birk, was drawing an extremely ridiculous cartoon of a man being chased by a score of furious women. Lemons were being hurled at his head; his hat was flving through the air in the wake of a brick sent by the hand of the leader of the mob. At the bottom, the cartoon bore this legend: “What will happen to President Anderson if he does not sign the women’s suffragette bill now pending.” The tube next brought before my eyes the desk of the society editor of the Forestville Tribune, Dagny Juell, bent diligently over a heap of papers, writing up her notes for the next issue. Once more a great city came within my vision. Before the doors of the leading opera house, great swavine. seething crowds were forced back by three sturdy policemen. No, as I looked closer I saw that they were police- women, and as I gazed again I recognized them. Swinging their clubs back and forth and striving madly to keep back the surging crowds, were Dorothy Smith, Mary Coleman and Georgena Hall. Behind the bars of the ticket [Page Fifteen] THE ECHO window, a prima donna’s manager stood complacently watching the thou- sands and thousands of dollars roll into the treasury. A closer view showed him to be Roy Mills. ‘What is the attraction there?” I asked. “Why,” re plied a voice, “the world’s most famous soprana sings there tonight. She is billed there as ‘Mlle. Ruth Dickson, the Human Nightingale.” Before the wondrous eye of the magic tube, a bakery next was shown. A man was looking over the wares, making more fuss than purchases. As | looked, I heard him ask, “Have those doughnuts got holes in them?” “No, you boob,” answered the smart, young saleswoman behing the counter, “we always fill up the holes with plaster of Paris.” 1 looked again, and looked more closely. Yes, at last I recognized them. The asker of foolish questions was Lester Nathanson, and the girl behind the counter was Emily Rued. Another theatre now came before my vision. This proved to be a vaude- ville show. The first act brought to view two petite young girls, dressed in short, spangled costumes, of myriad colors, and whose sweet voices chimed in that latest rag-time hit, “By the Back Door Hung the Washboard That | Used on Monday Morn.” | recognized these “dolls” to be my old friends, Viola Lockhart and Beryl LeBaron. next observed a scientific farm in cultivation. First, I was shown the dairy, and there, running the electric cow-milker, I saw Josie Cassini. The vision then changed from the dairy to the orchard, where perched upon a lad der, pruning a cherry tree, | saw Crystal Lambert. As I looked closer I saw a vegetable garden, where, down on her knees, planting whole pumpkins, I was astonished to see Esther Miller, and gathering thousands of eges in the poul try department of this farm was I'rances Wilson. These young ladies, aftei graduating from college, had formed a company to run this farm, and had proved to be quite successful in their undertaking. The wonderful tube again changed from this scene to the interior of a hospital for sick parrots. The nurses taking care of their feathered charges I recognized as Gladys Combs and Gladys Bagley. Then, there appeared the interior of a huge assembly room, where a spir- ited suffragette presided over a lively and interested crowd of women. As she waved her arms in the air, violently exclaiming, ‘We should worry, my friends; give them time and they will come through with the votes!” I recog- nzed my friend, Mae Andrews, who after having secured women’s suffrage for her own State, was continuing the good work in Alabama. The scene was now near at hand. for before me I saw the elegant court of the Sultan of Turkey. There in the throne room sat the Sultan, enjoying an entertainment provided for him by hundreds of classic dancers. who were waving wreaths of roses to and fro. It was a wondrous sight. As I came nearer, I recognized the little dark-haired girl leading the throng, as none other than Hazel Devoto, singing “In My Harem,” at the top of her voice. Behold! A Parisian costumer! What a sight! It happened to be the day for showing of June bridal thousseaux. To my surprise, the first graceful model who appeared before my eyes was Mary Matthews, and her train- bearer, Mabel Rayner. [Page Sixteen] THE ECHO Suddenly the scene changed. I found myself gazing into a crowded cir- cus tent. The champion tight-wire walker and her assistant. who held one end of the wire in her teeth, were in the midst of their performance. I gazed for a long time before I recognized that little lady, tripping nimbly along the wire, as Lena Baum, and her strong-toothed assistant as Anita Nathanson. “Tt is indeed a most wonderful tube,” I said, after I had seen in succession the future of my classmates, including myself. “I will pay you the forty pieces of silver you asikctOnlte | was just about to hand him the money, when I felt a violent shaking as if there were an earthquake. Suddenly, the beautiful garden, Eli, and everything disappeared, and I found myself once more in the study hall, Miss Crane was shaking me violently by the shoulder to wake me up , and, as | came to I heard her remark, ‘Stirling, if you expect to graduate, you had better wake up and correct your binder.” Last Will and Gestament of the June Class of 1913 We, the modest class of June, 1913, knowing the end to be near, and wish- ing to leave our numerous affairs in perfect order, do make our last will and testament as follows: To the future classes of unfortunate pupils who are forced to memorize in English VII, I, Lena Baum, do leave my knowledge to be handed, in small quantities, by Miss O'Meara, to each entering pupil. This will prove both a yenefit to the class, and an add for myself. I, Frances Ahl, sadly bequeath my snappy black eyes to Madge Wheeler, yelieving that hers are not dark enough. My fondness for debating I leave to Grace Titus. I, handsome, howling, Judge Anderson, at other times called Clarendon, he honorable president of this illustrious class, do reluctantly bequeath my judicial expression to Dale Wessler, knowing that he can easily replace his grin with it. My title of Spitzbube, which fits me so well, I give to Earl Rogers, and my beautiful locks of hair, with my flute, to Edward Koford. I, Mae Andrews, sadly leave my freckles to Orville Lambert; and my glasses to Lola Boyes. On this sad (?) occasion, I, Gladys Bagley, do hereby bequeath my abil- ity to make brilliant recitations to Paul Woods, and my skill as a typist to Olive Vineyard. With great sadness, I, Aliede Birck, leave my popularity with the boys of the Physiology class, to Lola Boyes, knowing that she has long yearned for it. My tendency to giggle, I leave to Mildred Turner, so that she will be less sober, I, Flora Blane, remembering that our lover of music, Ruth Hill, was not in our midst when I sang, do leave to her my copy of my favorite song, “Tit- willow.” I, Gladys Carithers, leave my majestic appearance of the stage to Ade- [Page Seventeen] THE ECHO laide Rutledge. My talent for drawing, I leave to anyone who can excel me. The privilege of walking to school with my sister, I give to Salem Pohlmann. I, Josie Cassani, do leave to Georgia Wolfe, my dimples. To all grouches I leave my happy nature. I, Mary Coleman, do solemnly bequeath my old-maidenish ways to May Hodgson, and my habit of being such a terrible flirt, | leave to Elaine Norton, hoping to aid her materially in the captivation of the opposite sex. Knowing that my days are numbered, and also that Gertrude Lee wishes to increase her weight, I, Gladys Combs, do leave to her my abundance of flesh, and my pleasant manners to Mr. Steele, asking him to smile once in a while. I, Stirling Coulter, leave my graceful gestures to Bill Morrow, as I be- lieve it will improve him. To Lloyd Wilkinson, I leave by red tie, as it matches his hair. I, Tillie de Bernardi, do, on this grave occasion, leave my low-neck dresses to Olive Wright, hoping she may take advantage of this and cut hers accordingly. My little beady eyes I leave to Dorothy Condo. I, Allison Dickson, leave my auburn hair to Ruth Hill, on account of its similiarity to hers. My gentle manners, I leave to Irene Campbell, hoping she will make use of them. The fear with which Mr. Steele inspires me, I be- queath to Helen Geary, so that she may act more docile in his classes. With great sorrow, I, Ruth Dickson, leave my brilliancy in history to Lawrence Chapman, to increase his brilliancy. My beautiful gait and short step, I leave to Alice Koford. I, Barbara Dows, growing pale at the approach of my numbered days, do leave to Miss O'Meara, my nature paint, hoping that she will distribute it among the girls of the study hall. My beauty I leave to Merle Goodfellow. With great reluctance, I, Helen Fraser, do leave my fondness for posing before the boys, and my graceful walk, to Florence Cummings, so that she may impress them as much as I do. My quiet style of dress I leave to Mar- garet Hatch, but I refuse to give my interest in Chop Roberts to anyone, I, Vera French, leave my boisterous manners to any Freshman who is afraid to make a noise. I leave my hair to anyone who greatly desires it. I, Gladys Gilman, do leave to Helen Geary, that longed-for wish—the cleft in my chin. My wonderful complexion, I leave to Clara King. I, Georgenia Hall, bequeath my fondness for English to Clara Churchill, together with my old gray sweater. I, Ethel Helman, on this frivolous occasion, do leave to Dorothy Percy my loud and boisterous manner. To Dale Wetzler I leave my stand-in with the faculty. I, Dagney Juell, do leave to all remaining pupils, that pleasant manner which means so much to all High School students. Please use my smiles as I have done, and you will make your friends happy. I, Elsie Keller, do give my noisy manner to Norman McPeak, so he will not be so quiet. To Dorothy Clark, I leave my ability to make dates with the other sex, as I believe that she will appreciate it. My fondness for “ragging” I leave to Alice Koford. . [Page Highteen] THE ECHO I, Crystal Lambert, do bequeath my beautiful black eyes to Agnes Vaught, and my ability to extract “E’s” from Miss O'Meara, I leave to Enid Elarris. On this joyful occasion, I, Beryl LeBaron, do leave my fondness for fight- ing and making-up with my sweetheart, to Grace Smith. My classy “ragging”’ | leave to Warren Brown. Reluctantly, I, Violet Lockhart, give my good opinion of myself to Stuart Rogert, as I believe he lacks that ability. My extra supply of “E’s” I leave to Donald Percy, together with my reputation as an Algebra “shark.” I, Mary Matthews, leave to Mr. Allen my erect carriage. Perhaps this will help him to keep his “Senior Sombrera” at the precise angle of 45 degrees. On this most solemn occasion, I, Arthur Meese, alias Lathrop Page, do leave to Chauncey Peterson, my forward manner. To him I also leave my seat in American History, with the sincere wish that he s ees no visions. I, Esther Miller, do bequeath my curly hair to whoever wishes it. My tom-boy manner I leave to my beloved little sister. I, Roy Mills, do bequeath my soft voice to Albert Entzminger, and my stand-in with Ruth Dickson I give to Fred Adams, and also my ability as an actor, I, Anita Nathanson, do most solemnly state my last will and testament. To “Skinny Pool” I leave my stand-in with Miss Wirt, while to Douglas Carn eron, I leave my quiet manner, to be exercised the third period. I, Lester Nathanson, knowing my days are numbered, do leave to Edward Koford all the flesh necessary to make him a second Ralph Rose. He may also wear my grin for the rest of his High School course. I am sure that it will last that long. Knowing the end to be near, I, Ernestine Pedrotti, do leave to Elvira Pollini my old, red sweater, for hers may wear out soon now. , Mabel Rayner, do leave my tall stature to Nora Fees, and my mouse- like gait to Irene Campbell, praying that she will replace her own with it. Chop Roberts, give my bashful manner to Gwen Overton. My fond- ness for lawsuits and horses, I give to whoever has any trouble with either. Archie Hewitt, bequeath my graceful walk to Leslie Crane, and my rosy cheeks to Freyman Coleman, as he is much too pale. Emily Rued, bequeath my fear of the faculty to those Freshmen who are now over their first scare of the teachers. My outspoken manner I leave to Clifford Merritt. All United States History Pupils will fully appreciate my gift, for I, Eunice Silvia, do leave to those pupils every note-book I once used myselt. I, Dorothy Smith, do leave to Irene Campbell my curls, so that she may refrain from “fuzzing” her hair in front of the basement windows. I leave my beautiful hands to Esther Yeager to aid her in typewriting. [, the orator, the crack runner, the English shark, the right-hand friend of handsome, howling Judge Anderson, the editor of The Echo—in a word—I, handsome Raegan Talbot, do leave to Zelma Carithers, my number nine ties, which she may have stretched to fit her. My good opinion of myself I leave to Jesse Lingenfelter. I shall take with me my valued treasure—my walk. [Page Nineteen] THE ECHO I, Mary Thompson, do leave to Ada Strawn, my terrible case of Mr. Mar- tin, hoping he may persuade her to write for him, and pick up all papers he sees fit to drop. I, Charlotte Van Wormer, do leave to Hugh Watson, my stride. My manner of frowning, I also leave to Hugh—it gives him such a distinguished air. I, Abbie Wilkinson, leave my soft voice to whoever sits in the front seat in History XII, so that those in the back seats may be sure to fail. My repu- tation as an invincible flirt, I give to my sister. I. timid Francis Wilson, quaking at the approach of the end, do leave to Guy Chapman, my pipeing voice with a request that he stand in Mr. Mar- tin’s room to announce all fires in the building, so that frightened pupils may leave the class-room. I, Ruth Wright, give my bright eyes and curly hair to Lawrence Chap- man, asking him not to use them to break the hearts of any of my girl friends. My habit of always being late, I leave to Grace Smith and Helen Cochrane, so that they may get to school early. I, Mildred Wadsworth, do leave to Ruth Hill my beautiful eyes, knowing that they will go well with her hair. My winning smile, I leave to whoever can put it to as good use as I have done. My sympathy for sick people I leave to Miss O’Meara, hoping she may make better use of it than she does of her own. We, the class of June, 13, appoint Mr. Montgomery our sole executor of this, our last will and testament. Mary Coleman Mildred Wadsworth.

shouted Harold, diving behind the door for his cap i and bolting outside, “I’m going fishing after school to- night ! “Ma had just started on a vacation of undefined fi length, and Harold was rejoicing in his unwonted freedom to do as he pleased. Then, as a startling thought came to i him, he turned. raced back to the door, and burst out, “Say, I can go to school as early as | want this morning, can't 1?) And I’m going too, right now, to play ball. You girls can bring in the wood,” and again he bolted, this time for school. This declaration of inde] endence reminded Jack that he, too, might geo where he pleased now, so with a “By jinks! I’m going to that doings in Joy’s barn tonight after all!” he left the table almost as unceremoniously as had his small brother. When pa came back from the station he racked his mind in. vain to re- member that long list of instructions which ma had given: him to tell the girls, but when he found that he had fo rgotten every word of the mes- sage, he didn’t worry a minute. When the girls, wondering in a helpless way what they should cook for dinner, asked him if Ma had left any in- structions for them, he straightened his shoulders, usually bent in submis- sion, looked them straight in the eye, instead of letting his weak, watery cnes wander about their feet, and answered, his thin, piping voice taking on depth, “No ! Get what you please for dinner ! Left thus to their own devices as to what to get for this, their first independent meal, they decided to make some exciting new dishes, froni new recipes, for they could use as much sugar, and as many eggs as they wished, since Ma wasn't there to forbid. So, all morning, Helen, covered with a big apron, her sleeves rolled up, and with her nose daubed with flour, mixed tempting concoctions in the bowl, while Grace, school forgotten en- tirely, reads recipes to her, and watched the oven. In the midst of the en- erossing task of making a marble cake, Helen turned around, spreading still farther the daub on her nose with one floury hand, and waving her mixing spoon joyiously with the other, and burst out, “Oh, Grace! isn’t it the most fun to cook what you wish just once?” Some of their culinary attempts didn’t cook so quickly as the girls had expected, so dinner was late, but pa and the boys, revelling in the twice sweetened apple sauce, and in the three kinds of cake, besides the pudding, didn’t complain, but extolled the praises of their new cooks to the ceiling. Grace thought that she might as well stay home that afternoon since she had missed her morning’s work, so she brought to light a novel which she had been trying for so long to read, and to keep out of Ma’s sight at the same time, and buried herself in it, without a qualm over her neglected school work. When six o'clock came, neither pa nor Jack presented themselves, so [Page Twenty-five] THE ECHO Helen decided that pa must have stayed down at Banks’ for supper. They knew he would stay for a game of checkers afterwards, so they didn’t expect him home until bed time. Grace remembered Jack’s decision to go to that “spread,” so they knew that he, too, would be out until late. They won- dered, for a minute, what Ma would say, should she suddenly arrive on the scene, but instead of worrying over their misconduct, they decided to stay up late themselves—to have an orgy of their own. Harold was easily bribed with promises of lots of candy, to crack nuts, and to pop corn, so a huge platter of glistening popcorn balls, and two plates of candy were soon ready. The girls looked at each other in aston- ishment at their own daring, as they lit a fire in the fire place in the parlor, that sacred place, opened only on great occasions, and carried their refresh- ments in there. Here Pa and Jack found them, when they returned together from town. Jack soon sprawled himself on the floor beside Harold, where he, too, feasted on popcorn balls. This scene reminded Pa of a time when he was a boy, and a lot of neighbor children had—— and soon he was telling tales of ghosts and goblins, with Harold listening wide-eyed, until the youngster fell asleep on the floor. Fortunate it was that the next day wasn’t a school day, for Jack, the first one to awaken, didn’t get the fire lit until nine o’clock. Dinner was late, too, because Helen had more new recipes to try. Pa and Harold both forgot to blacken their shoes that night, but it made them only a little late for church to do it Sunday morning, so their forgetfulness didn’t matter, so long as Ma didn’t know about it. But Pa and Harold were the only faithful ones of the family—the only ones who went to church, for even Helen, who taught a Sunday school class, joined Jack and Grace on the front porch with a book. Oh, what a care-fee life the family led all week—late for every appoint- ment, every meal late, but with enough sweet dishes, when it appeared, tu satisfy any one’s sweet tooth; late hours every night; but never a qualm or a scruple from any one. They had stopped wondering about the how, when, where, or why, of Ma’s suddenly planned vacation, and had abandoned them- selves wholly to the pleasure of doing as they pleased. They did all the naughty things which they had longed to do for ages, and enjoyed, through it all, that delightful sense of doing something “awfully wicked.” Pa had all his old cronies over to sit around the fire place with him to spin yarns, so the parlor, once so clean and in the strictest order, became strewn with ashes, with newspapers, and even with pieces of cake and ker- nals of popcorn Even Pa and Harold stayed home from church the next Sunday, to join the group on the porch—Pa with his paper and Harold with a heap of funny pages. At nearly every meal, something reminded Pa, to Harold’s joy, to tell one of his yarns, and oh ! what wonderful ones he could tell. When he didn't see Ma’s sneering look and hear her, “Huh! You didn’t tell it that way last time we heard it.” On Wednesday morning he was telling an es- pecially thrilling tale—one in which he (he was the hero of all his yarns) had played an especially brave part. Harold was listening in open mouthed [Page Twenty-six] THE ECHO admiration of his father’s courage, and even Jack had forgotten to look bored and was wrapt in the story. Grace and Helen were poring over the cook book trying to decide what to do with all the cold chicken left over from Jack’s spread of the night before—when—the door opened—an in walked Ma. While the family stared at her in amazement, Pa thought, “Oh, those chickens ! Here its half past eight and they aren't fed yet ! Jack gasped, when he thought of the lawn. which he had honestly meant to cut last Satur- day, before he went to the field day. Harold gave one look at the wood box, yawning empty, and bolted toward the wood shed. Helen stuffed the cook book in the nearest drawer, and looked at Grace in dismay when she saw the stockings from the last two washings, still unmended. Fler hat and coat off, Ma donned a big apron. “Girls! haven't you washed the dishes yet ? What have you been doing ? Hurry up now! Pa, have you fed the chickens yet ?” But Pa was already going toward the barn. “Jack ! that lawn looks as if it hasn't been touched since I left. Go and see what you can do with it before school.” And Jack went, muttering that he would have done it on his own accord if she’d kept still. “Now girls you get this kitchen cleaned up as fast as you can! I'd like ! to know what time you got up this morning, anyway The only way to accomplish anything is to get up early in the morning and to go at it while The family conscience had come back. A Letter I. Hatch Palo Alto, California, May —, Igrz. My Dear Katherine: For the last week, I have been visiting friends in Palo Alto, and having a delightful time. It is commencement week at Stanford University, so all sorts of festivities are being held on the campus in honor of the departing seniors. So far, we have attended all of the events that we possibly could: The senior-faculty baseball game, where the senior baseball nine arrayed them- selves in ridiculous costumes; the evening circus on the campus, where, on the main street, lighted with scores of bright-colored Japanese lanterns, each Frat and Sorority house offered an alluring side show; and the class day exercises at the college. However, the event that I have most enjoyed was the Junior Promenade, given in honor of the Seniors at the Memorial Court, so-called because it contains a statue in memoriam to the Stanfords, the founders of the university. The open court is enclosed by the stone walls of the college buildings. It is rectangular in shape, and, on three sides, is bounded by the broad, open corridors, which surround the exterior of all of the buildings of the univer- sity, the outside of the corridors being lined by a row of arches, upheld by heavy Ionic pillars. The main entrance, at one end, is composed of three [Page Twenty-seven] THE ECHO separate arches, opening onto a broad, cement walk outside. Within the court, a smooth, green lawn is surrounded on all sides by a narrow, cement walk, while walks crossing the lawn, from opposite corners of the court, meet in the center, where, upon a granite pedestal, raised upon a low, circular stone base, about fifteen feet in diameter, is erected the memorial statue of the Stanfords; a group of three, Leland Stanford, Sr., Mrs. Stanford, founder of the university, and their son, Leland Stanford, Jr., in memoriam of whom the university was founded. ffarly on a moonlight evening, a merry party of us took a car from Palo lto (commonly called “Pally” by the students) to the campus. A few minutes later, as we walked among a crowd of people, up the broad avenue, lined with palms, leading to the college, it had grown quite dark. Suddenly, is we gazed through the main entrance to the Memorial Court, a lovely scene met our eyes. Strings of red Japanese lanterns hung overhead, from opposite corners of the court, effusing a soft, crimson light over the entire enclosure; above, the summer sky, alight with stars, formed the only roof, and, as strains of sweet Hawaiian music wafted from the native instruments of an Hawaiian band on the lawn, it seemed certainly to be an ideal place for the event of the Promenade. Already, people were strolling leisurely about the beautiful court, and now crowds came pouring in through the entrance, and mingled in the corridors. A few chairs were placed about the edge of the lawn, but very few availed themselves of the opportunity to sit down, nearly all preferring to loin in the promenade, visiting with the friends whom they might chance to meet, and listening to the soft, sweet music of the Hawaiian band. Laughter, jests and gay conversation could be heard on all sides, ey erybody appearing to be enjoying the occasion. An additional attraction to the promenaders was the booths, in eacn corner of the court, prepared by the different Sororities, where refreshments were served free of charge. Very alluring they were, decorated with tall bunches of bamboo, plants and flowers, and furnished with chairs, couches, and light-colored rugs, and the sorority girls who acted as hostesses for the evening were kept exceedingly busy. I hestitate to relate all of the refreshments of which I partook in that single evening. Before leaving, our party inspected every booth, and, once within, it was difficult to refuse the tempting “eats” offered by the hospitable hostesses. Bhi shingly I submit, in order, the entire list: First booth, salad and salted crackers: second booth, punch and cookies; third booth, more punch; fourth booth, coffee and sandwiches (minus the coffee for me); fifth and final booth, a heaping dish of strawberry ice cream. Until a late hour, our party mingled among the promenaders, or list- ened to the sweet-voiced Hawaiian soloists, who sang their native songs, with the soft accompaniment of the stringed instruments of the band. Fin- ally, with one last look at the festive scene, we hurried to the station, arriv- ing there just in time to catch a car to “Pally,” after having spent a delight- ful evening, one which I shall not forget for a long time. We have invitations to attend the commencement exercises on Monday, so, in my next letter I shall be able to tell you something of that. Affec- tionately yours, Jeanette. [Page Twenty-eight] A Trip To Honolulu N A lovely day in the early part of June our party stood on the deck of the “Manchuria,” as it steamed through the Golden Gate, bound for Honolulu. After the pilot had left, and the Farallones had been passed, we felt that we were really started at last. We spent the afternoon in exploring the ship’s quarters, but we spent the next morning in bed, and went without breakfast. The reason for this is easily guessed. However, I recovered early, and went forth to see how many, or how few, of the other passengers were able to be on deck. The days passed pleasantly. One makes friends readily on a sea-voyage, and our fellow travellers were jolly and good-natured. We were fortunate in having several Hawaiians on board, who entertained us very agreeably with their singing and playing. I can think of nothing that has ever seemed to me so peaceful and lovely as those moonlight evenings which we spent quietly walking up and down the deck, or lying dreamily in our steamer chairs, listening to the deep, musical voices of those Hawaiians, singing their own rich sensuous tunes. I believe it would be difficult for anyone with the least vestige of romance in his soul, to remain unmoved under such a spell. When we were still a two days’ journey from our destination, word was passed along that we should soon see the flying fish. No one in our group had ever seen them before, nor knew what was their appearance. We were standing by the rail, when a young man said: “There! | just saw one on the horizon!” About ten minutes later we saw, by the ship’s bow, a little fish, six or eight inches long, flying, or rather leaping, from the crest of one wave to that of another. Jt is needless to say that the young man I have mentioned was not permitted to forget his previous remark. Diamond Head at last came into view, and then the wharves of Hono- lulu. The scene was indeed a new and novel one to us. On each side of the long wharf, at which the ship anchored, were the fleshy Hawaiian women selling leis of flowers and of beads. Of course we were all decorated with them. We took rooms at a hotel, and then went sight-seeing. The streets are rather narrow, and the buildings not very tall, but otherwise they appear the same as the streets of our cities. We were amazed at the num- ber of Chinese and Japanese we saw. They own the large majority of the stores, and outnumber every other race on the islands. Of coure we saw many Hawaiians, white men and Portuguese. The distinguishing feature of the Hawaiians, particularly the women, is their ereat amount of avoirdupois. I have never seen so many extremely fat women as I saw in Honolulu. The young girls are merely plump, and sometimes rather pretty. One of the most interesting places which we visited was Waikiki. This is one of the best swimming beaches in the world. It is a concave beach, [Page Twenty-nine] THE ECHO protected by a wall of coral pretty far out at sea, so that the water inside, while it has waves and swells of the ocean, has not the high breakers, nor the dangerous undertow, which unprotected beaches have. It is only four miles from Honolulu, and the two places are connected by a splendid, wide, modern avenue, with large gardens of tropical ferns and plants bordering either side. One of the most interesting trips which we made, was over the Nuanuu Pali. The road leading to the pali winds gradually up the southern side ot of the mountain. The view from this road is magnificent. There are con- tinual showers during the morning, so that the rainbows are numerous. The colors of these rainbows are very bright, and well marked. I remember that one immense bow seemed to spring right out of the chimney of a little cottage nestling in the valley, and to fade into nothingness high up in the sky. When we reached the highest part of the road, the top of the pali, we turned around and behind the entire southern part of the island, with the sun glinting on the ocean waves in the distance. Then the road turned sharply, so we followed it for about a dozen steps, when we beheld the northern half of the island, and also the ocean. From this point the road descends with exceedingly sharp turns, and many of them. It took the greatest skill on the part of the driver to drive the horses around these turns, and we held our breath, fearing every moment that we should “turn turtle.” This road, at the highest point, is between two mountain peaks, the distance between the two, at the point where the road is cut through, being very narrow. This condition causes an unusually strong wind at this point, so that on very windy days, the horses can scarcely hold their ground against it, while pedestrians have to crawl past the precipice on their hands and knees. It was over this precipice that Kamehameha the First drove the last of his enemies, and made himself king over the entire island. The pali is an absolutely unbroken drop of many hundred feet. Among other interesting places, we visited the Orphanage, Diamond Head, Punch Bowl, the Aquarium, and the Museum. At the Museum, among other things, we saw all the relics of the ancient Hawaiians, while the Aquarium contained many strange kinds of fish, many of them beautifully colored. On our trips to the surrounding country, we saw large rice and taro fields, sugar plantations, and pineapple fields. The pineapples are much juicier and sweeter than those we purchase in the United States. [rom the taro is made poi, the native Hawaiian dish. The natives eat this dish with their fingers. I was not favorably impressed with its appearance, so did not summon sufficient sourage to try it. Among the fruits which we enjoyed were the mango and the papia, which were delicious. One cannot eat the former without getting his face disagreeably sticky. Therefore the fastidious avoid them. It was with real regret that we left Honolulu, for it was the loveliest place we had ever seen, but as soon as Diamond Head had faded from our sight in the blue haze of the horizon, we began to eagerly watch for the shores of our own United States.

Many of the pioneers of this great industry were tried and convicted for insanity. In the year 1827 the pioneer railroad company of America was launched. This railroad, known as the Baltimore and Ohio, was built by the citizens of Baltimore. Later the Erie, Reading, and New York Central sprang up, gradually absorbing smaller companies. So that they are now the largest lines in the east. The building of the Pacific lines began almost in 1857, and now some of the largest lines of America are in the West. Lines now extend from ocean to ocean and from the Gulf to Canada, cementing the United States with thousands and thousands of miles of tracking. s there has been a great increase in mileage of railroads, so there has been great development in the maintainance and regulation of this industry. There has been great improvement in speed, comfort and safety. Trains now run as fast as eighty miles an hour, and the cushion cars of today are a great improvement over the old coach and wooden seated cars which were used as late as 1870. We also have dining cars, Pullman cars, observation cars and parlor cars, practically unknown forty years ago. The block signal system, the use of the telegraph for dispatching trains, and the many safety appli- ances, as the air-brake, the sand-box, and the bell cord tend to make rail- road travel as safe as possible. Many of these were adopted only by chance, and a few of these incidents may be cited: During the time railroading was in its infancy, the engineer was thought to be but an ordinary working man with nothing to do but collect tickets. Phe New York Central hired many German engineers, who were overbear- ing and insolent to the nen under them. When the Erie was built they sought to copy the New York Central as much as possible, and also hired German engineers. A conductor, whose name was McGrady, thought there should be some co-operation between the conductor and the engineer, and that a code of signals should be used. He fixed a bell cord and told Hamel, the engineer, of his plan, but Hamel, who regarded McGrady as his inferior, only sneered at him. The next day Hamel cut the cord, and when they come to the first station, McGrady pulled the cord but found it would not work. On examination the cord was found to have been cut. McGradv sus- pected Hamel, and told him he would thrash him if the cord was cut again. t this Hamel only laughed. At the next station, McGrady went up and dragged Hammel from his cab. Then a fierce battle ensued. McGrady was a good boxer, large, strong and skillful, but Hamel proved equal to the occa- sion, and fought with the dogged tenacity of his race. They battled furiously for almost an hour, but McGrady’s superior skill finally won for him. The [Page Thirty-one] THE ECHO bell cord was adopted on the Erie trains and the conductor became head of the train. One time on the New York Central line the trains were delayed for quite a while, and passengers began to make threats to sue the company. As time dragged on, they grew more furious, and would likely have mobbed the train crew, only for Dr. McCartor, a minister of New York City, who made an eloquent speech which pacified them. The conductor would not collect the minister’s fare, and later the company began to let ministers ride free of charge. This was then adopted by all the roads, and later a half fare was agreed on. The stories connected with the development of railroads are Mery. MumM= erous, and of the development of the railroads in the West one of blood curdling scenes. At Dodge City men were lynched and shot every day. As most of us know, one of the great railroad men of California was Ted S. Judah, director of the Central Pacific Railroad of California, running between Sacramento and Marysville. The company was heavily involved, and as they wanted to build the line to San Francisco, they sent Judah to Washington, D. C., to get a grant from the government and to interest Eastern capital. Judah failed to raise any money. but while in the east got interested in the Pacific railroad. When he arrived in Sacramento, he went down to the little hardware store of Hopkins Huntington, who were both friends of his. He got thenr interested in the Pacific railroad, and in this store later on the Central Pacific Company was reorganized and new directors elected. Huntington was made Vice President, but he was in reality president of the company, and a man of determination, who was not to be daunted. In 1861 Hunting- ton broke the first ground for this tremendous undertaking, with but $125,- 000 capital as a backing, and in 1869 the Central Pacific joined the Union Pacific at Ogden amid band playing, and cheers of many thousands of people. When the last spike was being driven the news was telegraphed the world over. This was the greatest railroad company in the west. There is now over 290,000 miles of railroad in the United States, not including side tracking. The latest development in railr aading is the elec- tric car, invented by Van Deiopele, 1880. In one year, 1881, it supplanted 30,000 horses, and this has been so rapid that in the nited States and Canada today the horse car is a curiosity. [Page Thirty-two] THE ECHO A Peaceful Vacation Mildred Thompson H, I say, girls, but I am tired!” exclaimed Grace Williams, coming into room 8, and flinging herself into a chair, “that last Latin exam. just about finished me.” “Me, too,” sleepily answered Elsie Decker, from the window seat. “My! but won't I be glad when vacation comes. Just think, only one more week or this aw ful cram- ming, then the easy life for me. I have been thinking, Grace, that we girls might stay together part of this vacation, and just have a quiet, peaceful time out in some woods, where we can be lazy with nothing to disturb us.” “Good idea, but here comes the others; let’s get their opinion on the subject.” As Grace spoke, the door opened and several girls came in, each making some complaint about exams. When they heard of Elsie’s plan, they became enthusiastic, and forgetting their troubles, began to plan for a long, peaceful vacation. It was surprising how many things the girls found it necessary to take. At every consultation, someone would suggest new ideas, until Elsie exclaim- ed in despair, “For goodness sake, girls, don’t think of anything more or we will have to take a circus tent! Marian, I see that you are fairly bubbling over with suggestions, but please keep the mto yourself.” “T have just thought of something most necessary, and that is chaperon,” calmly answered Marian. “Oh Gracious! yes. I had forgotten about that. Where shall we get one?” anxiously asked Grace. “T think I can supply that,” said Louise, “I have an aunt whose specialty is chaperoning; I will telephone her tonight, she will be delighted I know.” After a great deal of work, the seven girls, with Miss Eliza Hazlitt as chaperon, set out for the woods. During the long, hot ride on the cars, the girls tried to look cheerful and happy, consoling themselves, for their present discomfort, by the prospect before them. About four o’clock in the afternoon, they got off at a little station, de- serted, except for a tall, lanky man with a rickety wagon drawn by a lame horse. Could you take us up and our baggage to our camping place, about three miles from here?” asked Elsie. “Well,” returned the man, with exasperating slowness, “I could take one or the other, I guess, but if I carry your baggage, you must walk; this wagon won’t hold all.” Seeing that it was the only way, the girls helped the man load up, and then started to follow him on foot. The three-mile walk lengthened into a six-mile one by the time they reached the spot where they intended to pitch their tent. The sight of the delightful camping ground cheered the weary [Page Thirty-three] girls. They forgot their long w wagon, then to set up the tent. supper. “Oh, dear,” said Marian, as 1 last two days.” “Here, let me try,” and after ceeded in lighting the fire.

We eat the sandwiches, the cake and things. Ignoring the protests of Miss Hazlitt, the THE ECHO girls ranged themselves on the log, and prepared to have a merry lunch. Sud- denly, with a loud snap, the log, decayed from age, broke in the middle, pre- cipitating girls, chaperon and lunch into the stream, with a loud splash. “Oh, if I ever get ou t of this, I will never go camping again!’’ wailed Aunt Eliza, poking her head out of the water. “How many are drowned? I would like to get an idea of how many telegrams to send home. Louise, where are you?” ‘Here I am, Aunt Eliza,” answered Louise, disentangling a cucumber pickle from her long hair. She attempted to climb the slippery bank, only to fali back into the water. Then followed repeated attempts to scale the steep bank, all ending in failure. Since they could not get out by climbing, they tried to wade down to where the banks were less slippery, but the water became so deep they were forced back to the more shallow places. As they were standing helplessly in the middle of the stream, they heard a slow, drawling voice above them: “Well, ladies, are you taking a swim? Why don’t you go down where there is more water?” Looking up, the girls saw the lanky man who had hauled their baggage up to the camp, gazing at them with a broad grin on his face. “Oh, sir,” panted Miss Hazlitt, “please get us out of here?” “Why, how on earth did you get in that hole? Oh, I see,” he exclaimed, catching sight of the broken log. Then, he sat down on the bank and laugh- ed till he almost fell in with the mortified girls. When he had recovered from his burst of laughter, he assisted Miss Haz- litt and her charges from their muddy prison, lit a fire for them, and then went off, chuckling as he did so. When the girls had exchanged their soaked, muddy clothes for dry ones, and were finishing their interrupted lunch, Lucy Wentworth, breaking the general silence, said, as she slapped a mosquito. “Elsie Decker, what have you to say for yourself? Stop chasing that ant, and say your are sorry for getting us into this mess. You say it isn’t your fault. Well, whose is it? I should like to know? Didn't you suggest that we go camping? Didn't you recommend this den of insects as an ideal camp- ing spot? Didn’t you suggest eating our lunch on this old log? For my part, I intend to take my belongings and join my family at Santa Cruz. I hope I shall get some rest there. Give me exams. any day in preference to these mosquitoes.” “Those are exactly my sentiments,” announced Louise. “I shall take my aunt and go to Honolulu, as I intended. I make a motion that we disband this camping expedition. All in favor signify by saying ‘I.’ There was a chorus of assenting votes, which were silenced by Miss Hazlitt, who im- mediately began to prepare for the next day’s departure. Elsie and Louise volunteered to walk to the station and engage the services of the thin man with the wagon. At ten o’clock the next morning, seven girls and a chaperon waited for the train at the little station. As the engine came in sight, they solemnly raised their right hands, and with one voice announced, “Never Again!” while the lanky man winked at the station agent, [Page Thirty-five] Bridal Veil Falls L. Snee NE OF the first pictures that burst upon one visiting the Yosemite Valley, is a beautiful sheet of water pouring over the high wall, in silver crested waves, that break into spray, which rises like a thin cloud of smoke, and then falls down the side of the mountain, in long, graceful folds, like a bridal veil. The Indians call it Pohono, but to us it is known as Bridal Veil, and its resemblance is very striking. Almost at the foot of this fall, is a small and beautiful country, known as Pohona Valley. It is very picturesque, and an ideal camping spot. There are other cascades in the valley that are grander and more awe-inspiring than the Bridal Veil, but there are none more beautiful... It cannot be ap- proached in any direction without observing some new combination of beauty. It is one of the places where a person can sit for hours and see a change of scenery every moment of the time. The graceful, wavy sheets of water fall in the gauze like folds of a veil, now expanding, now contract- ing and always glittering in the sunlight, a thing of magnificent beauty. The fall is nine hundred feet, and every foot of it can be seen and studied from a dozen different points of view. At the foot, the water surges and boils over immense boulders, until it is lashed into a fury, creating a cloud of spray that can be seen and felt for hundreds of feet. Aside from the natural beauty of the falls, there is a peculiar attraction, late in the afternoon, in the rainbows which the setting sun paints upon the sparkling water. They are ever changing in form and color, and a more beautiful rainbow cannot be imagined. The falls do not depend altogether upon the snow. They are fed by a creek which has its source in some large springs. They never dry up, al- though they get very low at certain times of the year. These falls are said to be very picturesque in the winter, when the icicles feather both sides, and assume all sorts of shapes, which are dazzling in the sunshine. The Indians are said to have had a secret dread of Pohano. Indeed, the fall was named for an evil spirit, which, according to Indian traditions, was much to be dreaded. They could only be induced to pass the place by the greatest necessity, and even then they hurried past it in terror. [Page Thirty-six] The Seven Rules Oh to Santa Rosa High School Is the place you ought to go, If you have not heard its rule You surely then should know. Your chamois, girls, you'll have to leave At home for future store, lor Miss O'Meara says that she believes She'll have powdering no more. Your bracelets in the morning hang Upon a nail to keep. lor bracelets on your desk will bang, And thus disturb the meek. Tie up your rats and switch Until the week-end comes, For falseness tends to much bewitch A heart once cold and dumb. Your voice should be refined and sweet, And free from anv slang, For this will make your girls petite— A favorite of your favorite gang. Now, boys, you’re not too faultless, lor you, too, give the teachers woe When up the stairs so thoughtlessly With mirror in hand you go, Your pompadours are pomped too high, And greatly do annoy The fellow with the small blue eye Whose view you so destroy. And then you have'nt any notion Of how a fellow ought to sit, But sit as though in motion For an acroatic hit.

We will lose, to a large extent that friendly relation which ex tween individuals in our school. ists be- Many will continue their courses in the universities, but others will begin the stern battle for existence and for rec- ognition, A few of the best years of our life have vanished, but we will al- ways cherish fond memories of our schoo] days. If we intend to succeed, we must do our best. We have received a liberal education, which should fit us to enjoy life in a larger and broader way, to appreciate the fact that to give is greater than to receive. “To thine own self be true.” No higher standard can be adopted. If we are always true to ourselves, listening to the spirit of justice that hides within our breast, we will always treat those about us with fairness. It is when we do not listen to this voice that our downfall begins. Then our character is being weakened, for we lose respect for ourselves. [Page Thirty-eight] THE ECHO The world that we are now entering is filled with pitfalls for the weak and the ignorant. Coming in contact with vice and crime should strengthen our manhood and our womanhood. If we had no temtptations to overcome there would be no no virtue in being good. Too many of our number every year succumb to temptations, but those who do not yield are the men and hte women who mpeople admire and respect. Men and women of this type are the ones who secure for us those privileges which are so dear to liberty loving people. What advantages are derived by the counties in providing High Schools for the educating of our rising generation ? Why do we come to school for four years studying language, history and mathematics ? The fact that we can quote famous passages, or remember dates or work equations is not so much of itself. It shows, of course, that we have devoted time and effort to the subject. These subjects are chosen because they afford the best opportunity of gaining dail) routine. To become accustomed to routine work is important for it enables one to concentrate upon some line of spe- cial endeavor. One must specialize in order to accomplish the best results. he studying of history and other courses should give one a broader view of the problems that confront us. We should look at the world through more optimistic eyes. We should be better equipped to give our best endeavors in the society in which we have a part. The class that graduates from our school is not large, but our power to better existing conditions does not depend upon number, but upon char- acter and ability. The mission of the Class of 1913 should be the uplifting of conditions with which they come in contact. O Many thanks must be extended to Mrs. Minnie Mills, Supervisor of Music, for help she has rendered us in making our paper a success. We shall always remember the good times we have had under her directions as members of the orchestra. Se —_ To the faculty, we give our last farewell in gratitude for the pleasant hours we have spent under their earnest guidance. SE To my friend, Lester Smith, manager of the paper, I wish to give my thanks, for whatever degree of success I have attained as editor, for with- out his able help and assistance, the work would have been arduous and de- void of those pleasant sentiments which I shall always cherish. The Echo takes this occasion to extend thanks to the Elite Studio and The Press Democrat for the kind favors shown us this year. [Page Thirty-nine] Lester Smith Business Manager J.

Are you sure Mrs. Page has come? All right, then, we will begin with the first act and go through the entire play. Call the Squire, Lathrop ; all right Mrs. Page—begin !” And so the rehearsal pro- ceeds. Mrs. Page, a widow since the war, is told by Colonel Moberly, an ardent admirer, that the title of her land, left by her husband, is questioned by Raymond Page, her husband's brother, who, knowing the land will raise in value if the railroad, being surveyed across Alabama, crosses her property, wishes to gain possession of it. His mode of pre- cedure is the denial of Mrs. Page’s marriage to his brother. Colonel Moberly, a Southern gentleman, refuses to take the case against Mrs. Page, after hearing the charge brought against h er. There the matter stands, while we are introduced to Mr. Armstrong, a surveyor from the north, who, while a guest at Colonel Preston’s falls des- perately in love with his granddaughter, Carey, an Alabama blossom. The old gentleman, having been robbed of everything that was dear to him, even his son’s love, objects strongly to their alliance. Because of her grandfather's objections to their marriage, an elope- ment is planned, which is intercepted by Captain Davenport, who has appear- ed shortly before as a Northern railroad man, but who is recognized by De- catur, the old servant, and Mrs. Page, as Harry Preston—Carey’s father, the disinherited son of the old Colonel, and the former suitor of Mrs. Page. Cap- tain Davenport, who approves the marriage, pursaudes them to defer their plans, and sends Carey to remain over night with her aunt, Mrs. Page, while he will strive by other means, to overcome her grandfather's objections. In the meantime, Colonel Preston, learning of the charge brought against Mrs. Page, becomes so enraged that he challenges Raymond Page to a duel; but on account of Colonel Preston’s age, Colonel Moberly consents to take his place. Davenport, who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, prevents the meeting by forc ing Raymond Page to withdraw his charge, and apologize to Colonel Moberly. The climax follows quickly, with the disclosure of Davenport’s identity to his father, Colonel Preston; and then comes the ending of Cupid's affairs— the consent of Colonel Preston to the union of Carey and Armstrong, the engagements of Colonel Moberly to Mrs. Stockton, a charming young widow, and that of his daughter, Atlanta, to Mrs. Page’s son Lathrop, and last but not least, the union of Mrs. Page to her girlhood lover, Captain Davenport By the time this is completed the clock has chimed ten.

Dig, dig, dig, In anguish, anger and hate; He sat and mourned o’er his book As he sang the song of his fate. [Page Forty-six] BASE BALL The base ball team has had a very successful season, winning four games and loosing one. It should have been five victories, had it not been for a little hard luck, and poor support given to Southpaw Argyle. All of the games were full of pep. and fight, but the boys generally pulled through with the long end of the score. The boys hit the ball when hits meant runs, and in two games even took large leads. Owing to misunderstandings, we had to forfeit the championship game of S. N. S.C. A. L. to Napa. I am sure if the game had been played the boys would have come out of the battle the champions of the league. S. R. H. S. 12—A. U. H. S. 10 The boys plaved a good game, and came off the field with this a victory. The score in the second innning stood 8 to 0 against us, but the boys woke up, and made a batting rally that would have put a big league team to shame. The batting of Captain Roberts was one of the features. He got two base hits and two singles, out of four times to the plate. After the infield settled down, they played great ball, not missing a chance. S. R. H. S. 3—Petaluma 2 This was the hardest fought game of the season. I’ry held Petaluma to no runs till the eighth inning, when they scored their two. The feature of the game was a catch of a swift fly to Maroni. Line up—Roberts, c.; Fry, p.; Powers, tb.; Argyle, 2b.; Hewitt, ss.; O’Connor, 3b.; Lunger and Peterson, rf.; Watson, cf.; Maroni, If. Special mention must be given to coach Allen for his hard work in de- veloping a winning team for S. R. H. S.

S: 1.7 AS AS LE: The last appearance made by team for the season was at Ukiah, in the N. W. S. A. A. L. The team won second place handily in the meet. The meet was the fastest and the closest one that has been held since the league has been organized. Chapman won the half and the mile; Gore and Mills both came through in fine form. The team will not be weakened except through the loss of Chester Gore. There is in school lots of latent talent. Chau. Peterson could easily be developed into a fast miler and half miler. He is but one of many that will train next year to bring home to our school victory. Lawrence Chapman was elected Captain to guide the destinies: of team for the next term. Through his careful management we are sure a winning team will be developed. To Mr. Steele, who has coached during the term, we owe much of our success. Between Coach Steele and Captain L. Chap- man, we expect the banner of victory to float over S. R. H. S. [Page Forty-eight] THE ECHO Basketball TTT sere ; as hea a naKE: nea x pe! “2 ik i a a pt Aree SN oe cs CRS Bir ye Pe.

At the beginning of the fall semester a try-out for the team was held. Those victorious were Frances Ah!, Douglas Cameron and Grace Titus. On November 22, our team defeated the Analy Union Team on the Panama Toll question. On February 17, our team went to Cloverdale, where after a hot contest, the decision was given to Cloverdale. Our team put up an exceptionally fine argument. On the evening of April 25, the last debate for the season was held with the Sonoma Union High. The debate was held in the Sy dee, dil, Siecavobokere, 78h good crowd was out, and a number of Sonomians motored over for the event. The subject was, “Resolved, That the resident of the United States should be elected for a term of six years, and be ineligible for re-election.” Santa Rosa won by a unanimous decision. On Friday, June 13, will be held the annual individual cup contest, ox the subject, “Resolved, That the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Islands. Those supporting the affirmative will be Leo Sullivan and Raegan Talbot. Negative—James Stanislausky, Frances Ahl and Jesse Lingen- felter. Under the instruction of Mr. Montgomery the debating class has accom- plished some good work, but a considerable amount yet remains. lias hoped that more will take up the work next term.

[Page Fifty-one] With this year of the Echo the school year ends, so we bid you, Ex- changes, farewell for a time. May we make your acquaintance next term, and may our friendship be characterized by the same good feeling that has prevailed this year. Among the exchanges this month, The Elm, from San Mateo Union High, has stood forth. It is an excellent paper from the cover design to the last joke on page seventy-seven. ‘The Lure of the Voice,” and “The Little Oriental Kin g,’ are stories deserving especial mention. Your exchange department is good. The Oracle, Oakdale—You have a fine cover and a good material, but we would advise removing that add in the front, and keep it in the back with the other ads. A larger exchange department, if possible, would improve your appearance. Your cuts are very clever. The Magnet, Selma Union—Your paper is one of the best that has come this month. Your material and arrangement are excellent, and your jokes are the best ever. Your cuts are very original and tasty. Come again. The Tattler, from Milwaukee, has a good cover. However, I would est that you change the color of the paper and put all ads in the back and add a table of contents. Put the literary section first and the edi- suge torials next. Place the exchange department before the jokes. ‘Historic Affinities,” and “Nerves,” are two clever stories, the latter being very true to life. The Manzanita Bark, from Palo Alto, is another good paper. Your stories are fine and your arrangement faultless. “What Talk Can Do” is a dandy story; and your athletics are above the ordinary. Your cuts are fine and your jokes are good. In short, you have a Class A paper. As usual, Keramos is on time. While your material is good, a better arrangement could be found. For instance, group the Class History and Last Will in front, together with the pictures of the graduating class. Take the ads from the front and insert a table of contents. Put the jokes last, right before the ads. Your cartoons are good. The Red and Black, Tampa—Put the ads in the back and keep then: [Page Fifty-two] THE ECHO there. They detract from the appearance of the paper. Put ina table of contents. Otherwise your paper is faultless, as both material and arrange- ment are good. Your cuts are good, and the poems, especially the ‘Mod- ern Shadivarius,”’ are above the ordinary. Your business manager must be a hustler. The Kodak, Everett—Why do you make your paper resemble an East- man kodak booklet ? The appearance would be improved by replacing the half-tone on the cover with a cut. Get a better grade of paper. Adda few cuts. I think it would be better if you could get out the paper inde- pendently. However that is for you judge. Your literary section is above criticism. The Academy, Milwuakee—Take that ad from the front cover. Put in a table of contents. Put the exchanges before the jokes. Otherwise your paper is good. Those cartoons about the G. E. A. contest are very funny. [ like that story, “Just Crooks.” Instead of merely mentioning your ex- changes, why don’t you criticize them ? The Sequoia, from Eureka High, is “some” paper. It is good in all branches, from the literary section to the jokes. The cuts especially are to be commented upon. We hope to keep up your acquaintance. The El Eco, Lincoln, is one of our best exchanges. The poem, ‘“Pocka- wanee,” is good, and in pleasing contrast with the material we usually see in other exchanges. The list of advertisers is a good way to call the read- er’s attention to the ads. Mercury, that shot putter makes a good cover. As an improvement put the ads in the back. “Filial Piety” is out of the ordinary, and those cartoons take the cake. A few more cuts would enliven your appearance. The Wheat is a good paper, but where do you come from? The only place I could find any mention of a city is in the class will. I take it then, that you came from Ritzville. The cover is good and the material is fine. Add a few cuts and don’t run the material together so much. Mr. Joseph A. Fancher should be congratulated upon his treatise on Socialism; it is remarkably forcible and strong. The Echo from Savannah, seems to have the same colors that we have. It is, however, another one of those papers that perist in putting ads in the front. You have very good material. Your athletics are well writ- ten up, but where is the joke section ? Under the word Exchange, why ? don't you criticise other papers, instead of placing jokes there The Review, from Sacramento, certainly shows athletic spirit. The cover is fine. But why such a small literary section ? Avoid, if possible, continued stories. Your cartoons are excellent. Get a larger exchange department. Place your editorials after the literary section. More jokes wouldn't hurt. Visalia High School News, Visalia—You are our only weekly ex- change. You must have a good school spirit to get out a weekly. The paper seems to be run by energetic people, and is the first step toward: a daily. [Page Fifty-three] Raegen and Mildred were sitting on the porch in the moonlight, when suddenly he kissed her.

Editorial School Notes Governing Board Exchanges Athletics Cartoons Jokes Vou. VI. SANTA ROSA, SEPTEMBER, 1913 No. 1 Reminiscences of a Senior GEN OW THAT I am a Senior, and can look back on the past four years of High School, it suddenly occurred to me to give some experiences and impressions that are the lot of all High School students. The most amusing of all High School experiences is the WH) first day; that is amusing to the upper classman, not so amusing to the I'reshmen. When I first entered the High School building on Monday morning, I felt like a very small speck on the horizon. Accustomed as | was to being one’of forty or fifty pupils in a country school, the sudden change greatly diminished my size. With my wonder and feeling of insignificance growing every second, I stood watching and listening. I saw crowds coming from every direction; little groups here and there discussing teachers and programs, and a con- tinuous stream passing to the office and out again, arguing with the prin- cipal as they tried to get their courses arranged satisfactorily. More fully aware than ever of my own ignorance and unimportance, I listened to such conversations as the following: “My gracious,’ exclaimed one girl, dash- ing. out of the office with a white card in her hand, “Physics and English conflict. I don’t see why they can’t fix the course right, anyhow.” “You don't say so ! Why that will upset my whole card,” said anothe: elbowing her way to the principal’s office to hear if the dreadful report were true. While I was pondering as to the nature of conflicts, which seemed to have the power of upsetting those little cards, and also the student’s tem- pers, I became aware of an excited group across the hall. “Well, I just think it is a shame, Mr. Crawford flunked me in geometry last term, and now I have to take it over again. I thought when I had finished geometry I would be through with math. forever. I think he is the meanest man alive. My advice to all Freshies is to avoid Mr. Crawford, and try to get into Miss Grayson’s class.” “Say, May, do you have to make up all.that history you didn’t do last term ?” [Page Three] THE ECHO “Yes, I do,” snapped May, “but I'll flunk first.” “Girls,” said another. “I know how to manage Mr. King so that Eng- lish history will be a perfect snap. You won't have to study at all, just stare at him all during the period, looking very wise all the time. He takes it for granted you are a regular shark and never asks a question.” “Ves,” said May, “My, but Iam glad Iam a Sophomore. I pity all poor Freshies who have to take English from Miss Grant, but the only way to get along with her is to talk right back when she gets fiery. The saucy ones always come out ahead of the meek ones. If Freshies only had our experiences they would get along better.” The group moved off, leaving in possession of the valuable informa- tion that the proper policy for a Freshman was to avoid Mr. Crawford, stare at Mr. King, and be very impudent to Miss Grant. I resolved to make use of these hints, but the consequences caused me to regret bitterly my rash resolve. Suddenly, a teacher, whose name I afterwards learned was Miss Davis, stopped before me, asking in a stern voice, “Little girl, why are you blocking the doc rway ? Move aside instantly. Let me see your enrollment card This sudden attack so upset what little courage I had left, that I stam- mered incoherently, wondering what on earth an enrollment card was. “Why, haven't you registered yet ?’ demanded the teacher. “N-no, ma’am,” I stammered. “Then go to the office and do so immediately,’ commanded Miss Davis. Heartily longing for grammar school again, I tried to push through the crowd at the office door, and finally found myself before a long, low table, surrounded by a mass of students, all of whom were talking very fast. As I sat down a teacher handed me a white card, saying “Fill that out and file it at the desk.” [ endeavored to comply with the teacher’s direction, but, beyond writ- ing may name and age, I could do nothing, until the teacher, noticing my distress, helped me to arrange my course. With my enrollment card safely filed, and my program made out, I re- ceived my desk number and returned to the hall. While I was watching the crowd, the ringing of a gong suddenly caused the buzz of voices to swell into a roar, as the whole mass began to push toward the study hall. My next difficulty was in learning the geography of the place, and locating the different rooms. As an example of the way Sophomores treat the Freshmen, I will tell of an experience of my own. I was in a hurry to pass through a narrow door which was blocked by a group of Sophomores. Instead of politely asking them to remove themselves, I tried to push through, when one, catching me, as I tried to pass, said, “Freshie, you may pass when you learn to be more polite to your elders.” When I became a Soph. I took revenge on the next class of Freshies for the treatment that I had received, but, now that I am a dignified Senior, I refrain from such undignified proceedings, and spend my days reciting, and my nights burning the midnight oil. Deal Reel Be [Page Four] THE ECHO AA Word to New Students y ITH THE beginning of the new term every earnest student is seriously considering how he may get the best results from the year’s work that is before him. During the past year the opportunities offered to students in the High School have been greatly increased by the completion and KS equipment of a new building and the addition to the course of study of several new subjects. Increased opportunities have brought in- creased responsibilities. The students entering the school for the first time may welcome a word of advice. The first great problem was that of selecting your course of study. In solving this it is presumed that you were guided by your interests, your plans for the future, and the advice of those of greater experience. We may assume that, for the present, this part of your relation to the school as a student has been settled. But you have doubtless been told many times that some of the most important lessons of the school are not learned from books. It is to some matters outside of the class room that I want to direct your thought at this time. The school, with its traditions and rules, and student activities, forms a distinct social group with a spirit and character peculiar to itself. Of the five hundred and more students enrolled, you who have recently entered the High School, comprise more than one-third. You will of necessity have a very large part in moulding this character. Upon your part in this social order will depend much that may be of value to you and to the school. By taking an active interest in school affairs and co-operating with tha. large body of older students that is working to establish right standards in the school, you can do much. You can help to give to the school that true spirit of democracy, where each individual stands upon his own merits alone, and where the action of each is for the welfare of all. To this end, get acquainted with your fellow students. Learn all you can about the school activities, and take a part in some of them. Athletics, debating, the school paper, the musical organizations—all these offer oppor- tunities for varied talents. Above all, study the student body organization which controls these activities. Become a member of the Associated Students of the Santa Rosa High School, an association to which all students should belong. Get a copy of the constitution of this body and study it. Seek to represent your class on the Government Board—or at least see that erpre- sentatives are chosen from the class who will take an active interest in school affairs. The school, I have said, should be democratic in spirit. No cliques should interfere with the active co-operation of all the students for the good of the school. It should go even farther than this, it should, to a considerable de- gree, become democratic in government. It should be quite possible in the near future to extend the scope of student body activities and increase the power of the Governing Board so that many important matters besides the referred to shall be managed by the students. Of course school activities 1 only just so fast as the student body this change must come gradually an¢ [Page five] THE ECHO shows that it is able to assume new responsibilities. It may be your privilege to help in this direction. In these few words of advice I will not omit to emphasize the impor- tance of study and of standing well in your classes. That of course ranks first among your school duties, and it is the one which you best under- stand. It has been my main purpose, however, to point out some school duties which are only second in importance, and which you may not so readily recognize in these early days i nthe High School. Through the Devil’s Gateway AR AWAY in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, a gigantic, volcanic peak thrusts itself skyward. For ages it has been ef known among mankind as “The Devil's Gateway,” and for 4 ages it has been shunned by superstitious Indians, who tell wierd legends of strange under-ground people who once dwelt within its depths. It was late in June when, accompanied by a Mexican guide, I visited the Rockies, with the intention of climbing and exploring this extinct vol- cano. Armed with revolvers, dressed in the roughest clothing, and with three days’ provisions strapped on our backs, we began the ascent. It was a hard, dangerous climb. The smooth granite walls were very slippery, and their mossy over-growth gave scanty foothold. Twice I slipped and all but fell, plunging downward to the mountain base, but, as I tottered on the crumbling edges, the strong-armed guide seized me and drew me back. For hours, .we toiled upward, until at last we reached the summit, and there, before my staring eyes, [| saw a scene which, for the wildly pictm- esque, could never be surpassed. Steep cliffs of orange-hued sand stone swept away on either hand to form a circular basin of immense size. Far down in the depths of this depression, a shimmering lake flashed and sparkled like a fragment of jagged glass in the midst of a miniature valley. Pleasing and impressive as this view was, no time was to be lost in ad- miring it, for we had planned to reach the crater bed before night shut off the light of day. Following in the foot steps of my guide, I soon stood before u narrow ledge of rock, which formed a spiral stairway to the basin floor. To trust ourse lves on that thread-like strip of stone, appeared, at first glance, little less than actual suicide. Yet, as | saw the cool-headed guide go creep- ing down that perilous descent, | hugged close to the sand-stone walls, and followed him. Around and around that great towering precipice, we passed, crawling, scrambling, sliding, and clinging like leeches to its rocky sides. At last, on a [Page Six] THE ECHO broad ledge far below the surface of the earth, we halted, exhausted. High overhead, so far above that the sunlight penetrated but dimly to our side, the blazing basin rim lay right against the sky, bathed in the glory of a dying sun. Not a hundred feet below us, lay. the basin floor. Its broad expanse was Overgrown with pale, green ferns, whose gigantic forms gleamed ghostly through the gathering twilight. An oblong lake, of deeper and more pois- onous hue, lay bubbling in the reedy marsh, or sent torrents of seething water hissing down a half concealed cavern at its side. Along the shore, there stretched a beach of sand, on which we planned to spend the night, so, clambering down the last remaining height, we set out across the floor. As we neared our destination, the troubled waters of the lake rose in a swirling torrent, and went pouring down into the cavern. Eager to investigate this phenomenon, I hastened on ahead. A shouted warning from the guide came too late, for the racing waters, rising with incredible speed, swept me from my feet. For an instant, | was tossed like a chip in the sucking whirlpool, then I plunged downward into subterranean darkness. A moment later, choking and almost suffocated, I felt the current sweep me upward to the surface. Above and all about me, I saw the dim outline of a tunnel wall. From every side, there came the rush of roaring waters as they bore me swiftly down that gloomy passage. Hours seemed to pass as the torrent swept me on and on. Would it never end? I felt the rocky ceiling close overhead, and once, a sharp projection in the wall ripped through my shirt and gashed my side. It was then that the knapsack, on my back, gave way, and was washed away in the darkness. Again the current swept me on, till suddenly, half un- conscious and weak from the loss of blood, I was shot from the cavern mouth into a frothing pool, half lighted by great diamond clusters, which studded an immense dome above. While straight before me, not fifty feet across the foaming pool, the water ran, tossing over a rocky rut down u great rent beyond. Slowly, in a great simi-circle, the current swept me around the chamber- wall, then, gathering headway, with ever increasing speed, it sent me plung- ing toward the roaring fall. Frantic with terror, I made desperate efforts to scale the slippery sides. At last, scarce two feet from the edge, I scrambled up, to fall exhausted on a narrow ledge. Utterly tired out, I law drowsily listening to the droning roar of the falling waters, while, high overhead the great jewels gleamed down in flashing splendor. Then, gradually, a dull blinking film crept out over the gleaming dia- monds, the crashing fall died fitfully away, and I lay fast asleep. Hours afterward, | awoke, my clothes were damp and cold, but the wound upon my side had long since congealed, and my mind was fresh and clear. Below me, the basin in which, but a few hours before, the pool had tossed, now lay dark and empty. It was a time for action, for, if I gained the cavern now, before another deluge filled it, I might follow it in safety to the lake. Scrambling down the slimy rocks, I made for the tunnel mouth. But too late. Before I reached it, the water again came gushing back. Turning, I halted for an instant before the jagged rent down which the [Page Seven] THE ECHO streaming flood had so lately fallen. Deep groves, carved in the solid rock, ran sloping downwards to nothing in the inky darkness far below. A wild idea entered my mind. This was the one way to escape. Plung- ing into the flume in front of me and regulating my speed with the constant pressure of my hands against its sides, | went sweeping swiftly downwards. On I speed past the range of the diamond lights, and far into the black night beyond. My eyes smarted and stung from vain efforts to pierce the dark- ness. My arms ached from the constant pressure placed upon them, while weaker and weaker grew my pressure on the sides. On I speed. [faster and faster grew my speed until at last my strength gave way. I lost control and went flying down the side when suddenly the very earth seemed to drop away beneath me. With a scream of terror | went hustling out through space. In a long sweeping arc I fell, then losing speed, began to drop. Down, down, down | went in headlong flight. On every side dark, suffocating clouds of seething vapor came choking around my face, while far below a gleaming pool of fire sputtered and splashed in eager anticipation of its prey. Nearer and nearer came the dead impotent rage. On I speed and cleavit of steam I hit and sank to my waist vielding to my weight, reduced the in y pit, its simmering surface bursting 1g through a thick over-hanging cloud in a soft gum-like substance. which pact of my fall. For an instantl lay dazed, the boiling roar of the melting lake, the sud- den fall, the intense heat, all served to rob me of my senses. Regaining con- sciousness I was terror stricken to find myself embedded in a soft bed of flint, which was now fast hardening around me. I struggled desperately to free myself, but with effort felt myself go farther down. Then suddenly my hand struck a solid ledge, which ran close along my side. Carefully I seized the narrow strip of stone and drew myself slowly upward, inch by inch, until I stood in safety on the shore. Hastily brushing the fast hardening flint from my bedragled clothes, I set out along the vortex, seeking an outlet. The pool, as though angry at my escape, sputtered and puffed with re- newed energy. Firey balls of burning vapor hung low over the surface, while streams of white hot flint went spouting into the air. On I went scrambling and leaping over fallen rocks until, though the blaz- ing glare | saw on the opposite shore the dim outline of a tunnel mouth. With renewed confidence | hastened on until I neared the entrance. Here I halted suddenly, surprised and startled by a strange sight before me. Ten feet away a beaten path led straight from the seething lake to the cavern behind. While all along the edge thousands and thousands of arrow heads littered the rocky floor. [ would gladly have fled from the spot, but some strange influence seemed to bid me stay. Stepping nearer I examined them. Probably molded from the soft material in the lake, they had been placed here a thousand years before. May be by the tribe connected with the legends of this mountain. Torn by a strange feeling of uneasiness and of impending danger, [Page Eight] ——3—— THE ECHO I left the lake and its strange curiosities behind. Passing up the sloping path I entered the great tunnel mouth. A dim uncertain light penetrating from the blaze behind revealed a gloomy passage which stretched away into the darkness. I soon left the entrance far behind, and passing slowly on I came sud- denly to an abrupt turn. Before me looming dark and dismal through the dim, uncertain light, a long, low chamber of immense size stretched away into the darkness. Damp pungent waves of sickly air fanned my cheeks, while off the molding cavern walls accumulated moisture dripped in seeping streams. On either hand ranged along those gloomy walls, long shelves of rock were piled high with grewsome weapons. With handles and shafts long since decayed, dull gleaming points for spears or arrows lay mixed with keen edged trenchants knives of flint. Bronze battle axes overgrown with greenish phosphoresent mold lay in great dingy heaps on the moss-grown floor. [Far in front its form gleaming monstrous through the flickering light the statue of a heathen god gleamed down in sullen rage upon the armament below. Behind the great god and half ridden in the shadow a broad stairway led upward through the cavern wall. Here lay the exit from this awful place. Gathering courage, | stepped out upon the slimy floor. Cautious as were my footsteps the apparently solid floor gave forth a hollow boom which echoed through the chamber and filled my soul with dread. On I went, step by step, nearer and nearer | came to the ghostly idol. Then suddenly with- out an instant’s warning, the floor beneath my feet began to rise and fall in long indulating waves. The walls rocked to ard fro. “The weapons clanged and smote upon the cavern sides, while over all a dull muffled roar, which seemed to rise from the very depths of the earth, came sweeping through the cave. The heathen god tottered and trembled on its base. Then suddenly came crashing downward. As it fell the floor beneath my feet gave way, and I went plunging into space. Beneath a subterranean stream flowed deep, dark and silent, as with a roar the falling debris broke the silence of its gloomy depth. The great idol sinking swiftly through the inky waters, sucked me down far, far below the surface until with whirling brain and bursting lungs, I broke from its clutches and went shooting for the top. An instant later, gasping for breath, I reached the surface. Around me all lay dark and silent. The shock was over and the sullen strea magain flowed on its way. Idly it swept me on its course, slowly at first, then gathering speed as it rattled over a rocky ledge. Then the stream changed, the walls began to meet; the speed grew, and whirling dizzily I shot suddenly out into broad daylight to find myself struggling in a rushing torrent. With lusty strokes I gained the shore to live in safety ever more.

This question was answered by several men, followers of track work and athletics in general, who spoke to me of it just after the meet. One of them said: “Your section was undoubtedly the best in the stands except for the fact that you had to use the same old yells that were used in the Stone Age. Get some new yells and you will show the people what x High School rooting section really is. Your rooters have the lungs and the spirit but they can not do much without the yells.” That’s the idea, more yells. I wish all of the students to help them. AM of you loyal boys and girls write some yell and give it to The Echo office or to me. A small Rooters’ Club will learn the best and then we'll have rallies so that everybody may learn them. WEST MALLORY, 15, Yell Leader. [Page Thirteen] As yet The Echo has received but few exchanges. We hope that before we go to press again, we will be able to welcome all of our old friends and meet many new ones. Owing to the great demand for the June number we were unable to send copies to all of our exchanges, but we will send our first number for this term to all who did not receive the commencement number. The Spectator: Your cover design is neat and your material good, but your arrangement could be improved by placing your senior material first ; then the literary department, and then your editorials. The Almanack: Your senior number is very good and your numerous departments are all well edited; but you have omitted one of the essentials of a High School magazine, an exchange list. The Mistletoe: You could greatly benefit yourself by observing the arrangement of other High School papers. Our attention is first called to the four blank pages in the front of your book. Three of these should be omitted, for a person grows weary turning blank pages before he finds any material. Your half tones are good, but the appearance of your book is spoiled by inserting those white pages. We wonder whose pictures these are, faculty, seniors or staff. If seniors, the senior material should follow them. If staff, they should follow the editorials. Your class cartoons are original and well worked out. The Pohah: A better grade of ink, and larger type would add to your appearance. You contain a great deal of interesting material, and your de- partments, especially the Athletics, are excellent. E] Chasque: What an odd cover design, but the first five pages are extremely commonplace, so much so that they are now a detriment to all living high school papers. Your chonicles are original and are really funny. A few more department cuts would add to your appearance. The Dawn: You are an excellent paper, and we find nothing to criticise in your commencement number. Your cuts are well arranged and all your drawings show great care, an important feature that so many high school papers Itck. The Poly High: Your only fault—you use type that is far too small. We enjoyed, “How Boys Wear Their Hair.” The Gondolier: We judge from the arrangement of your paper that your faculty is not a very important part of your high school. You have detracted much from the appearance of your paper by using such a poor grade of ink. We enjoyed both the quality and quantity of your literary material. [Page Fourteen] | | Members of the Student Body wake up, and bring back the old scho ol spirit. All branches of athletics are on a decline, and it is up to the students to bring athletics up to their old standard, that is to have a winning team in each activity. Now fellows brace up, buy a suit, so that you can help bring athletics out of the cellar to the top most story. I'reshmen, your chances are now to win honor, and bring life into activities, because the sooner you train, the sooner you will be wearing the orange stripe. If you don’t care to enter athletics, attend the games and meets, so that the school will be able to carry on these activities. TRACK Fall training has opened, and each day sees more fellows working for a berth on the team. Clrances are very good to make the team, as graduation took most of the veterans. I reshmen, try the new track and gym. because it is up to you to bring on a winning team in the future. Mr. Steele is working hard coaching the fellows, he wants to see more out so he will be able to pick a winning team. So it is up to you if you want to him smile. Captain Chapman our “star” distance man is ready to add more first- place medals to his great collection. Manager Mills is there a million in the quarter and hurdles. Chapman has the following veterans from which to pick a winning team: Brown, Russell, Merritt, Argyle, Mills, Hewitt and Gnesa. BASKET BALL We hope to see more members of the student body out to support both the boys’ and girls’ basket ball teams this semester. I think all schools like to turn out a winning team. If you do, get out and support us. Last year the boys’ team was all new material. This year the fellows will have had more experience, and intend to pull down some trophies. You members of the Student Body get out and help us by coming to the games.

The High School has really a very important place in the preparation of the boy or the girl for meeting successfully the problems of the more mature life, and its importance is increased by the fact that an estimated 80 per cent of the young people leave school after the completion of the High School work. If these young men and young women do not get a proper attitude toward the serious questions of life before leaving the High School, they must learn the neglected lessons in a much harder school, often with disastrous results. To have attained its greatest usefulness, therefore, there are certain traits of character which the High School must incorporate into the moral fibre of each of its students as surely as it is expected to train their mental side in certain fundamental things. First, there must be the proper attitude toward authority. The law of the High School is to the pupil what the combined civil and criminal codes are to the citizens of the outside world. The pupil must learn that justice | is the basis of all law, and that obedience to the law and its authorized offi- cers is necessary for the maintenance of order and security, and is one of the cardinal virtues of a good citizen; that those who are social rebels must be compelled to come in under the law for the welfare of the many; that any infringment of law must be followed by its fit punishment. A High School student with this attitude toward authority is well fitted to leave the school room to take his place among the law-abiding citizens of his com- munity. Honesty, too, in all its phases, is another virtue to be taught by the High School; honesty in the daily intercourse with teachers or with fellow students; honesty in recitation or in examination; honesty on the athletic field; and always an honest attitude toward oneself. Close upon the heels of honesty comes respect for the rights of personal property, with a careful distinction between “thine” and “mine.” The High School student must learn, too, his responsibility to those about him for his personal conduct; to respect the rights of others; to refrain | from infringing upon the privileges of others; to be courteous, thoughtful, and helpful. He must be made to understand the force of example, and the fact that everyone exerts a certain influence upon the lives of those about him. These facts established, he will realize that he is to be called account- able for his own particular acts, viewed from the standpoint of their effect upon others. The more prominent and influential the student’is in his little world, the greater is his capacity for influencing others by his example, and therefore the heavier his responsibility. An upper classman who deliber- ately violates a law of conduct of the High School is not only exerting a bad influence upon those about him, but is to a certain extent a partner in guilt [Page Four] THE ECHO of the pupil who, younger or weaker-willed than he, and emboldened by his example, commits a similar act of misconduct. Public opinion is a force which the pupil meets to some extent in the earliest school years, but it is in the High School that he realizes for the first time how powerful a factor it is in the ordering of daily life. He learns for all time that he must conform to the standard of his community; that to defy public opinion means disaster; that what society at large orders for his rule of conduct must be of necessity be the course that makes for the greatest good of society itself. So, secure in his school-learned knowledge, pupil enters the larger life understanding that he must conform with the un- questioning obedience to the unwritten social and moral laws moulded by a complex social organization and enforced by the power of public opinion. As a preparation for that civic pride which results in clean politics and governmental reforms is that pride in the good name of a High School which makes for a well-regulated, moral student body. Where such school pride exists, anything which adds to the good repute and integrity of the schooi is supported loyally. Athletics of all kinds, debates, social evenings, and all kindred activities, bringing the school publicly before the com- munity, give it is reputation for worthy or unworthy achievement, and are the criteria by which those outside judge the value of that school as a factor for good in the community. The High School pupil must learn that anything which concerns the good name of the school is of the same importance to him as those civic matters which concern the good name of a city or of a state are to the citizen. He should feel a personal gratification when the High School, through its repre- sentatives in the various branches of student activity, renders a good account of itself, and should realize it to be his duty to throw his whole-hearted sup- port back of those representatives in order that they may be spurred on to their best endeavors. The High School is probably the most thoroughly democratic institution in this country, for in it are met together young people of all creeds, nationali- ties and social conditions, mingling upon a footing of perfect equality. So- called class distinctions are broken down, friendships are formed irrespective of conditions existing outside the school, and from this common association come a fine disregard of artificial social lines, a growing simplicity of dress and manner, thoughtful consideration for those poor in worldly goods or afflicted in body, and appreciation of sterling traits of character without re- gard to chance social environment. It may be said that the public school as a whole is the corner stone of our American system of representative democracy, then it may be said with equal truth that the High School is the particular place in that system where the virtues of good citizenship are taught, giving to the nation a constant source of supply from which may be drawn the sterling men and women to take up and to carry on the work of government. As long as the High School does its work well this nation shall not fall short of the high place which it has won for itself in the family of nations. [Page five] THE ECHO When the Cat Alley ®Cuse Slept VERY child, from the king’s son, is armed. Some have physical strength, some ggest little street urchin to the have charm, some have beauty, others have only brains. Hernando had brains. Hernando fell in with the “gang in Cat Alley,” when he was twelve. At that time he was a slight little chap, with black hair, and wonderfully fine big eyes. His skin was untanned of a soft olive hue. His one redeeming feature was his active brain. He could think faster, and to better advantage, than any boy in Cat Alley. He could rattle off a rhyme before his opponent had his sleeves rolled up for a fight, and his witty rhymes were his salvation, for Hernando could turn anger into mi and win over the majority of a Cat Alley crowd in half-a-dozen tong wists. The third year after Hernando’s advent in Cat Alley was an unusually severe one. The winter was marrow-chilling, and the spring late in coming. the middle of summer the Cat Alley gang had wilted down to a weary sy lot of dis-spirited, tired boys. Some good “Big Brothers” furnished a rough 5 ittle camp on the shore of a nearby lake for a crowd of city boys. Cat Alley was royally represented. Not a member of the gang was absent. Things progressed quietly for several days. Then the Cat Alley gang became in- censed, because the gang in the next tent had carried the information that all Cat Alley went into the lake for a plunge after nine—the sacred bed hour. low did they know ? Hadn't they seen them enter their tents at nine, and iadn’t they jealously watched them sneak out under the flaps, one by one, wiggle through the grass, and finally disappear in the cool waters of the ake When the Cat Alley gang realized that they were discovered, their wrath knew no bounds. It was very difficult to decide what would be the most diplomatic revenge to inflict upon the “squealers.” At bedtime an informal indignation meeting was held. Hernado, fearing to arouse trouble. quietly stole off to bed. The gang finally decided that a rhyme, in which the “squealers’ were described in most aggravating turns, would be effective. Hernando was jerked out of bed. The gang, one by one, and in groups, talked and coaxed, and pleaded with him. “Come on kid, here’s your chance to go down in history as the original Cat Alley Joan of Arc “Wake up, Hernando, wake up !” Hernando held his eyes tight shut, and silently vowed that he never, never would make the desired rhyme for them. He wasn’t going to cause any fighting, but he wasn’t going to tell the gang that. Innocence was cer- tainly the best policy. “Say kids, let’s duck him—” from a big: fellow. [Page Six] THE ECHO “He can’t swim, he might—” from a frightened little chap. !’ from the gang. And a dozen will- “Duck him ! duck him ! duck him yng hands dragged him forth. Hernando limply allowed himself to be dragged forward. If the ‘worst came to the worst, he knew a stroke or two. At the edge of the lake the gang gave him another chance. “Make us.a nice, mean rhyme, and we'll let you go back to bed,” the leader promised. “Yes, a nice mean one, a real ‘sassy’ one, and you can go back,” the gang cried. “Nix, kids, my muse is asleep—can’t make rhymes when my muse is asleep,’ Hernando stoutly declared. ! ! easy—slow, kids—not above the shoulders—all “Muse, rot ! duck him right—far enough ! Now, how about that Muse? Is she awake? Make us a rhyme !” “Muse is asleep,’ Hernando re-affirmed, but as the water reached his chin—‘‘ Muse is waking up.” Eighteen eager hands pulled him up a bit farther. Hernando had no intention of giving satisfaction, though. “My Muse won’t talk about anything but ‘beautiful eyes,’ and that isn’t insulting. It’s your fault fellows, you were always giving me that kind of stuff to work on, Muse won't say mean things out here. Woods smell too good. Place is too pretty. She can’t be nasty here.” Four pair of hands gently pushed him farther from the shore. The wa- ter reached the cleft in his chin. He could feel it sickeningly lapping over his lips. The eyes of the crowd saw the little gurgle he made as he tried to speak. [Four pairs of hands started to pull him up, when—the eyes of the crowd were looking at a blank stretch of water where, a moment before, Hernando’s white face had looked up at them. The overhanging trees of the bank made the darkness denser here than in other parts of the lake. The lapping of the water on the bank could be heard, but not a ripple could be seen in the blackness. The crowd stood motionless, horrified, speechless, starring at the black, unbroken expanse of water. l or several seconds no one moved. First to regain his senses was the big fellow, who had held Hernando’s shoulders down. He dived into the water. The little chaps who couldn't swim ran to the supervisor, and in five minutes the place was a ecene of action. Time after time the boys had dived, but none had touched the body of the boy. It was a grewsome moment when one boy said he felt something. A moment later he came up again, empty handed, and reported that it was only a smooth, sunken log. The search had been going on for an hour when the supervisor came out of the water. “Boys,” he said,” I want you to go right into your tent and go to bed. There is no use in your staying up. You three big fellows stay here, because we're not going to give this up, but you little shavers, hustle along.” Very reluctantly the subdued, unhappy little crowd shuffled off toward the tent. As they reached the tent, the moon broke throupgh the clouds. By unspoken, mutual consent, they paused. Each dreaded to enter. Hernando [Page Seven] THE ECHO was there before, and now—where ? Grudges fell away as unimportant noth- ings. Hernando’s little bedmate heaved a deep sigh, and entered first. He gave a startled scream. The others rushed in. There lay Hernando, his head pillowed on his arm, sound asleep. The fellow who had helped duck him rushed to the bedside, relieved and happy, and seized him by the arm. “Kid! kid!” he seeme dunable to say more—‘kid, kid,” he said it over and over, softly and affectionately. “Shut up,” Hernando muttered sleepily, “shut up! Muse’s sleep.” O TALKING AND DOING Handsome Harry, his father’s pride, Was a sturdy youth with a wondrous tongue. His fame was spread both far and wide, For the wondrous things that he had done. But his brother, John, was a silent lad, With hardly a word to say. Little he cared for the latest fad, But studied the problems of the day. The track team now was short a man, In a hard event—the mile. Many longed to enter the athletes’ clan, But this was a chance the passed with a smile, Harry strolled about, and talked, day by day Of how things in general ought to be done: John silently, bravely, went on his way, Training each night for the mile run. The track meet was held, and our school won, And the hero that day we shall see, Was John, who won the mile run, And brought his team to victory. Eloquent phrases may dazzle awhile, But, if to success one would ascend, Put forth effort, then fortune will smile. For deeds only count, on that you may depend. [Page Eight] Just Letters Prescott, Sept. 4,, 1913: Dearest Nathalie: Well, school commenced last week, and things are getting settled now. There are a lot of ‘‘Freshies,” three new teachers, and several upper classmen that have come from other schools. Among them there is the cutest boy. He is on the foot ball team, and belongs to the band. He is a senior, but isn’t in any of my classes. The Freshman reception is to be given next Friday night. The gym. is going to be decorated in green and white pennants for the “Freshie’s” benefit. I am not going, because mother hasn’t time to make a new dress for me. I must close now, as I have two pages of our friend Caesar’s “De Bello Gallico” to translate, and an experiment in chemistry to write up. I forgot to say that his name is Gilbert Moir. With lots of love, from VALENE. Saturday. Dear Nat.: Oh ! I have the most exciting news to tell you. This afternoon Lucile and I went for a tramp to Cole’s Canyon for ferns. We had a glorious time, but it was so hot that we got terribly sunburned, and Lucile’s nose peeled. We were just climbing down the last hill, on our way home, when I slipped, and went sliding and rolling down the hill. You know that the road runs along the base of the hill. I had just reached the bottom, all dusty and scratched, with my hat gone, when, “Horrors !” whom should I see but that perfectly good boy, in an auto, with my mother and another lady in the ! back seat, peacefully riding by. I'll leave my feelings to your imagination More anon. With love from VALENE. Prescott, Wednesday. Dear Nathalie: So many things have happened since I wrote Saturday, that I hardly know where to begin. Well, mother and Mrs. Moir are old friends. Mother invited Mr. and Mrs. Moir and Gilbert to dinner Saturday night, so I made Lucile come, too. Did I tell you that Gilbert has a curly black pomadour ? The door bell just rang, so “Goodby.” Love, VALENE. P, S—I am going to the Freshman reception. I don’t suppose it is necessary to tell you who my escort is to be.

School spirit is not confined to paying your Student Body dues, although that is an important part. Neither is it confined to sub- scribing to your High School journal, nor to your rooting for your High School Athletic teams, but it extends to this point: What is your attitude to- ward the High School interests as a whole ? By your attitude is meant the {Page Ten] THE ECHO pride you take in your school. Do you wish to see Santa Rosa High School rank first among the High Schools of the State ? The Board of Education has spent a great deal of money to renovate the old High School building. The city has been bonded and an annex has been erected. Now there is no way to show our school spirit better than to see that the buildings are kept in good condition. Let us refrain from de- facing our desks or the buildings with our names, rendering school property unsightly with the emblem of some organization. Many of the pupils have been troubled with the loss of their books: We lay unintentionally take some person’s book off his desk, but we should pause to consider that we are putting him to an inconvenience. A great deal of this is utter carlesness, a great deal of it is done intentionally. Neither of 1ese things should occur in a High School, where the pupils have a true school spirit. As loyal students we should see that these things should not occur. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our classmates to see that 1ese rules are not violated. Another way of showing our school spirit is by boosting our athletic teams at all times. But the attitude of the Student Body is such that when the first team and several substitutes are chosen, the rest of the candidates for positions on the teams cease to train. Now, fellows, there is no better way for you to show your school spirit than by getting out and playing with a vim, even if you make only the second team. By constant practice with the first team you are making them more fit to compete against other schools. In a school of this size there should be about fifty boys out for football, fifteen or twenty boys out for basketball, but, instead, there are only enough fellows out to make a first team. Get out and work, students, the membership of the first team will not be long in school, and by work- ing this year you can better fit yourself for a position on the school team next year. School spirit is what we need to carry on our athletics, so let us get and work for positions:'on the team, and remember we are doing it for the “Honor of the School ALL MATERIAL FOR THE NOVEMBER NUMBER MUST BE IN BY NOVEMBER THIRD [Page .Eleven} THE ECHO The Freshmen reception, given on the evening of September the nine- teenth, proved a decided success.

Mr. Montgomery was called upon to report the progress of the committee appointed to look into the matter of allowing the Annex pupils representation on the Governing Board. Mr. Montgomery stated that the committee had had no meeting, and asked for an extension of time until the next regular meeting before making the report. This request was granted. Chester Case, in behalf of the debating class, asked permission to join the California Debating League. The permission was given. As no further busi- ness was brought before the board the meeting adjourned. A special session of the Governing Board was called September 19th. rank Argyle presented an application for the expenditude of five dollars for a Rugby. foot ball. A motion was made and second that this money be granted. The motion passed. Permission was then asked of the Governing Board to play Mount Tam- alpias a foot ball game September 27. Mr. Steele now made the statement that since foot ball had played no games with outside schools for a period of one year, it was no longer recognized as a school activity. The meeting was adjourned. On September 20 a special meeting was held. A motion was made and seconded that foot ball be recognized as a school activity. The motion was unanimously passed. Permission was then asked to play a foot ball game with Mount Tamal- pias on September 27, Santa Rosa to meet one half of the expenses. There was some discussion as to the advisability of this as the money in the treas- ary was very low. It was finally decided to give the permission to play the game. The proceeds of the gate to meet the expenses. On September 25 a special meeting of the Governing Board was called. The resignation of Clifford Merritt as foot ball manager was read, and ac- cepted. Ross Pool and Lawrence Crane were nominated to fill the position. Crane was elected. Roy Mills was granted $1.60 to purchase a new tape, and to pay a relay gurantee. Frank Argyle asked permission for the football team to play Napa on Sep- September 27, Mount Tamalpias having refused us a game. Permission was given to play Napa, the expenses to be met with the gate receipts. Roy Mills was given permission to enter the football team in the N. W. S. A. A. L. As no further business was brought before the board the meeting was adjourned. [Page Fourteen] THE ECHO The El Solano, Santa Paula, Cal.: You have an excellent paper, but what an odd size for a High School magazine. You would improve your ap- pearance by using larger type, and by placing the editorials where they be- long, after the literary material. The Tiger, San Francisco: As a whole you have an excellent paper. Your material is interesting and your cuts are all very clever. We still notice that you persist in running the add on the back of your cover. The Blue Owl, Attleborough, Mass.: You are a very interesting little paper, but would improve your appearance by changing cover designs, and get some new cuts for department headings. The Gondolier, Venice, Cal.: Your material for the September issue is vastly different from most High School papers. You would probably interest the citizens of your city more than your High School students. The Artisan, Mechanic Arts High School, Boston: At first glance you might be mistaken for a directory. We find ads on both the front and back covers. Your cuts are excellent, the clearest that we have found in any High School magazine, and your material is very interesting. The Red and White, Orroville, Ohio: You have some good material in your literary department, and your senior pictures are cleverly arranged, but we do not enjoy seeing a picture of such a victorious baseball team as yours among the ads. The Owl, Fresno: This is the best magazine we have received. You are well arranged, and your cuts are clever. The Commencement: Academy, Milwaukee: You have a well balanced little magazine. Your cover design is excellent. Our only erticism is: get a few more cuts for department headings. The Oriole, Campbell, Cal.: We find nothing to criticise in your dandy little book. Why don't you come oftener, Oriole? The Argus, Tulare: You are one of the best magazines that has ever appeared on our exchange table. Every department is represented by an excellent cut. [Page Fifteen] Vi he Us aN|| ATHLE TICS IN TRACK There are two meets this term in which we take part, the S. N. S. A. L., to be held at St. Helena October 11, and the N. W.S. A. A. L., to be held at Petaluma October 18. There are strong teams coming from every High School to be contendors for high honors, and Santa Rosa will be one. The S. N.S. has been won by Santa Rosa every time but the last, so we want to make a desperate fight to keep up the good record. There is no reason why Santa Rosa should not go to Petaluma five hun- dred strong, and help the team along. We need helping, because Ukiah and Petaluma are going to make a bid for first place, but if the rooters come out. and drown out the other school, they wont have the fight they otherwise would have if there was a large crowd behind them. The team looks fairly strong and should make a great bid for first place in both meets. Chapman, our king of the distance man, is rounding into f shape, and if nothing ill happens, he will break some of the records in which he has had hard luck within the past. Mills and Brown put a strong front y in the quarter. Russell and Gnesa are hopping over the hurdles at a lively rate. Hewitt is work:ng hard in the high jump. Robinson and Argyle are sprinting in top notch form, so the records had better look out. Meyers and Baker are going to surprise some, as they are training hard. Now, remember, rooters, go to Petaluma on October 18. and help the team to win. TRY-OUT RESULTS 50—Argyle, Russell, Brown, Meyers. 100—Argyle (Russell and Brown, tie), Meyers. 220—Chapman, Brown, Robinson, (Baker and Meyers, tie). 440—Chapman, Peterson, Woods, Covey. 880—Chapman, Peterson, Baker. Mile—Chapman, Baker. Broad jump—Russell, Rogers. High jump—Russell, Hewitt, Rogers. Pole vault—Russell, Gnesa. Shot put—Rich, Merritt, Berger. Hammer throw—Merritt, Koford. f Discus—Merritt, Koford. 7 [Page sixteen] THE ECHO FOOT BALL Fellow students and friends: If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. We met the enemy at 2:00 p. m. on the field of Recreation Park and were ignominously defeated. They charged down the field twice, and when the shouting had stopped, we had bit the dust for a 46 to o defeat. That is the tale of the rugby game between Napa and Santa Rosa High. AI- though we were defeated, the boys howed great promise, and with more practice and knowledge of the game, will give them all a run. BASKETBALL Basketball has now started and soon the league games will begin. Be sure and get out right away as it takes lots of practice to play the game. There are many old timers left, and Santa Rosa should turn out a winning team in this activity. Already many games have been arranged, and much sport is anticipated by those interested. All who possibly can should at- tend the games as the more spirit there is in the audience, the harder the boys play. The prospects for a winning team are very bright, besides four veter- ans of last year’s team, there are several promising new comers who will give a good account of themselves. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls, do you realize that ‘this is the second month of this term, and prac- tically nothing has been done, as far as basketball is concerned. I do not even believe there is a captain selected as yet. Now it is certainly time to wake up and show some school spirit. A fine “gym.” has been provided and we should show our appreciation by practicing. The boys have just begun to think a little about basketball, so let’s not let them get ahead of us. There are several reasons why, everyone who knows how to play, should try for the team. Firet, because there are league games to be won, and a good team cannot be selected from a few. Second, because you want to win an “S.” ‘Third, because of the credit which is given; and fourth, be- cause it is such good exercise. Now a word to the veterans, it is up to you to get the Freshmen en- thused. It won’t be hard work, as several have already said they would like to play. If this indifference continues, nothing can be accomplished, so it is up to you to boost and get this team started in time to play the League games.

NOVEMBER, 1913 Unreproved Pleasures ED AND SLIM, it seemed, had always been chums. They had been in the same classes throughout the grammar grades, and stayed out together for two years to work be- fore going to High, and now they were both finishing their Junior year at High. Although carrying heavy courses, they also took an active part in the school activities. Rugby and track were Ted's strong points, while track and debating received some of Slim’s best efforts. Necessary mon ey to finish High and enable them to go to College were 1e problems that constantly faced the boys, and they each had a college fund, to which they added when any opportunity offered. It was the first week before the summer vaéation. Ted and Slim were lanning what to do in order to add strength to their physiques as well as to 1eir pocket-books, when they were again offered a job in a timber camp by the father of one of their friends. For many of the High School boys, the work would have been too hard and life at a timber camp too lonesome, but they were not built that way, so, without much _ hesitation, accepted the offer. The next Monday morning found them each swinging an axe instead of a pen. The change of exercise was found a little hard on them the first week, and Saturday night was indeed welcomed. Their hands were stiff and blis- tered from the heavy chopping, and they were tired and hungry, but their spirits were not daunted in the least. When four o’clock came Saturday after- noon, and the. boss announced the day’s work done and for them to go fora swim, they were not backward in complying with his wishes. How they did eat that night, and how they did sleep ! Several weeks slipped by, and’they had become accustomed to the work. They slept-outside under a large oak, that grew on a little hill back of the [Page Three] THE ECHO place where they boarded. They went to bed about dark, and if not too tired, they talked or counted stars until they fell asleep. Time did not drag upon their hands. One night Slim was enjoying his favorite pastime, cotinting the stars, and, while looking straight upward with his mouth open, a caterpillar fell into it. Ted did not have long to laugh at the catastrophe before he too became a little excited. He found some strange bed fellows in his bed,-and it didn't take him long in getting out when he came in contact with two big cold frogs. Slim sighed and said, “Such is life.” Poor Ted went to sleep with his head down hill and almost fainted, for Slim had become moonstruck prev- ious to his friend’s faint cries for help, and was unable to come to the rescue 1 but Juck favered the kovs. and frem then on they were careful not to go to sleep with the moon shining in their faces, or with their heads down hill. Another night, long toward morning, it began to rain. It was a queer sen- sation to wake up in the middle of the night with rain splashing in your face. They pulled their pieces of canvas over their heads and listened to:the patter, 1 Lx, patter of rain drops until day bre: The dark sky and the drip.drip, dripping of the rain drops, with the sighing of the wind in the pine trees, made the boys feel lonesome, but a cheery call and the expectation of a nice warm breakfast quickly made them forget their case of blues. The bors decided that it was too wet and slippery to work in the woods that day, so the boys took their rifles and went deer hunting. Ted killed a large buck in a bad hole, and they had a fine job packing him out. The backwoods towns took turn about celebrating the Fourth of July, ‘or it was too expensive for each of them to have its own celebration each year independent of the cthers. One would take it one year and the other towns fer fifty miles around would boost the celebration, and so on through the list, each town taking its turn. It happened that the “big time” was to hout three miles from camp, so Ted and Slim got an early be at a little town a start on the morning of the Fourth and walked to town. They amused them- selves the first few hours watching the people coming and going. It was interesting to watch the young fellows with the “buxom Andalusion damsels,” as Slim called them. How unlike the girls of their home towh were these looming backwoods girls with their gorgeous displays of dress and finery. baseball game between the Indian team of the nearby reservation and he town boys, proved to be one of the big events of the morning. The girls from the Reservation cheered their team on to victory. [t was amusing to watch the people, young and old, waiting for their turn to ride on the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round consisted of one arge perpendicular pole with two smaller poles crossed at right aneles at he upper end of it. Four seats made from dry goods boxes, just large enough to hold two, were suspended by ropes from the ends of the horizontal oles. A pole was so attached that the whole affair could be run by hand. person was allowed to sit in the scorching sun and be turned around for five minutes for ten cents. The ride received was thrilling, for when Ted asked Slim how he felt when he was on it, he said he felt like a fool, and Ted [Page Four] THE ECHO himself admitted that he also felt simple, but that was where the fun came in. s..cue came Oif avout 1con. ‘Led and Slim ate good things until they were ashamed of themselves for being such pigs. Shortly alter the barbecue came games and athletic contests. Much ‘interest wa; centered around the hundred yard dash, the winner of which was to 1 ceive a valuable prize.

Here Slim was sadly disappointed. ‘Lhree young bachelors were the judges, and as Slim said afterwards, they were so bashful that if a girl would have said hello to one of them, he would surely have fainted.

The girl rode a great race, and Ted and S ier with all their might, but she was barely beaten out at the end by a lanky fellow. Slim growled: “Aw, why didn’t he let her beat him?” Abou 1alf an hour later Slim was sitting cn a fence with her, watching a fellow rid a bucking horse. He was anxious to make her a ‘quaintance, but was too olite to speak fir 1 When the bucking horse tarted, she | ecame excited and said something to him. He took advantage of his chance‘and coneratu ated her on her race.

He was unable to find him, so. thinking of the morrow’s work, he started homeward. When about a mile out, he sat down near and old barn to rest, and as he began to think, looking intently at the barn, something beean to han pen. The old barn began to lean and creak and squeak as the nails pulled out. The noises continued—it grew louder—and finally the barn fell with a great crash, causing Slim to start from his reverie. As he sat watching the old ruins, Ted. came by in a wagon with some men who were goine to cium, £o Slim jumped into the wagon with them. They were becom‘ng sunburned almost black, for they went bar � -headed and about half naked when in the woods. They worked and ate, and slept and grew husky—the outing was certainly being enjoyed immensely by them, for they felt fine and looked better. They realized that vacation did not mean [Page five] THE ECHO dissipation. They would go back to school benefitted and ready for the com- ing year, and not worn out and unfit for anything. Sunday was the day to which they always looked forward. A day of rest once a week is indeed wecome in timber camps. The men clean up and put on their best clothes, and forget work fora day. Then, too, look what all would go undone if no Sundays came. It is the day of culture as well a: the day of rest. The men get better acquainted and lasting friendships are formed. It is the day for music, for reading, for letter writing, and memories of home and friends crowd in quite often. After breakfast the boys would go for a little hike, sometimes together, and at other times Slim would gu alone. Slim liked to go out alone in the hills among the trees and day dream a little, sometimes. A person does not know what really living is until he tries it. Sit on a log with grasses and flowers and trees all around. Listen to the birds singing, watch with half-closed eyes the squirrels and rabbits and little chipmunks playing in the trees and at your feet, hear the breeze mur- muring in the pines and the hum of bees and insects; inhale the balmy air, perfumed by sweet wild things, and become half intoxicated from the sheer joy of living. In the afternoon they read and wrote letters, and in the evening they walked out and mailed them. When Slim, with the rest of the boys, anxiously waited at the mail box for the stage to come with a letter, he almost thought of the times that the cowboys in the moving pictures have at the mail box. Sometimes, on returning through the twilight, a night-in-gale would start his love song which lasted way into the night. Then they went on into the par- lour, and, while Ted played the old organ, they all sang until they almost got homesick. At other times, in the evening before bed time, and as the moon came up Ted and Slim would sit and plan and sometimes build air castles. Somehow things seem different at night when all is still. One night they watched the Aurora Borealis play and flash until they fell asleep. At last it was time to go back to school. They had become attached to the place where they worked, but they did not know great the attachment really was until the last day. All of the men and boys had gone to work on another piece of timber on the other side of camp, and the boss had sent Ted and Slim to collect some tools. As they walked through the woods, and stopped to get one last drink at the spring, where they had eaten lunch al summer, somehow they felt lonesome. No axes could be heard ringing in the woods all was still and strange and empty. The great forest had been destroyed; the work of centuries lay in ruins; a great Rome had fallen, and only the sighing wind seemed to be telling the tale. A spell seemed to be cast over the place and they seemed drawn toward each other. They realize: how insignificant they were, and how great was the Universe. [Page Six] A Strenuous Thanksgiving yi ELL, I guess everything is ready,’ said Mrs.� Roberts glancing with a look of satisfaction at the Thanksgiving dinner temptingly arrayed on the pantry shelf. ‘That tur- key is nearly cooked, and it must be time for our guests to be here.” “T think they will be here in about ten minutes,” an- swered Harold Roberts, glancing at his watch. But, say, look what's here; if that fair-haired, two hundred pound maiden over there is to be our waitress, [ am thinking she will not be proportional to the size of this flat. Why didn’t you get something smaller ?” “Oh, | telephoned down to the agency for a girl, but I forgot to men- tion the size of the flat,” replied Helen, trying to arrange the chairs in the dining room so that the guests might reach them without climbing over each other. “But I guess she will have to do. Isn't it great to think. that our first Thanksgiving dinner will be such a success ? There’s the bell now—that must be our guests.” Mrs. Roberts flew to the door, and was about to greet her friends, when in walked a large, majestic-looking woman, with a green bonnet and a huge umbrella. “Why, how do you do, my dear,” exclaimed the uninvited guest. “So glad to see you! Just thought I would drop in for a little visit and have Thanksgiving dinner with you, that is, if you are going to have one. Has Harold still got his job ?” and with an expansive smile, the apparition, before Helen Roberts could collect her wits, advanced upon the young man, who, after one startled glance, stammered, “Why-er, Aaunt Sally, how are you? This is an unexpected pleasure, I assure you.” The ringing of the door bell cut short further speech, and Harold went to answer it, muttering angrily as he went, “confound it all, what on earth did she have to drop in now for? With that plump blond Olga, and this aunt, there won't be room for an extra toothpick at dinner. What will Jack and the rest think ?” Jack and the three others, who had been invited, entered joyfully, stop- ping short at sight of the odd-looking figure in the parlor. Aunt Sally was duly presented, but many doubts lingered in Mrs. Roberts’ mind as to the capacity of the dining room, especially when both Aunt Sally and the fair Olga should be in it. A great upheavel of the daintily-laid table was necessary in order to accomodate the portly personage of Aunt Sally, but, comforted by the thought of her well-cooked dinner, Mrs. Roberts rnng for Olga to bring the first course, a feat which she soon discovered was more easily said than done, for the close proximity of the backs of the chairs and ‘the walls, rendered it necessary for Olga to set the soup on the end of the table nearest the kitchen door, and for each to hand the plates to the other end of the table. Before the party had quite finished the soup, a terrific yell from the kitchen [Page Seven] THE ECHO caused Helen to fly in that direction. She reached there just in time to see one of her precious mince pies disappear out of the window and down the fire-escape, in the hands of a small boy. Instantly realizing that no one would be likely to see it again, she told Olga to serve the plum pudding alone, and went back to the dining room, where she bent all her energies to eluding Aunt Sally’s searching questions as to the cause of the commotion. “Well,” asked that individual, “did that Olga person go crazy, or did she cut her finger, or did she put in salt instead of sugar, or what did she do?” Although strongly tempted to throw her meddlesome aunt out of the win- dow, Mrs. Roberts, trying not to appear embarrassed, answered that it was only a slight accident. An answer which Aunt Sally seemed inclined to dis- believe. The soup plates were returned to the kitchen without any other mis- hap than the spilling of a glass of water, and the dropping of a spoon down to the pavement three stories below. Mrs. Roberts’ spirits were beginning to rise, when she was again disturbed by the appearance of Olga, who beck- oned to her with a terror-stricken face. Wondering what on earth had hap- pened, Helen followed Olga to the kitchen, and was horrified to see no signs of the turkey. “Olga,” she gasped, “what has happened now? Where is the turkey ?” “Oh, please m’am, it ain't my fault,” wailed Olga, “I put the turkey in the lumb waiter, so | would have room to make the coffee, and when I went to get it the dumb waiter had been drawn up. It is so awkward living in such a small flat, m’am.” “What? Oh, dear, now they will think the turkey really belongs to from the kitchen below. The people above evidently drew up our turkey, thinking it was theirs,” and Mrs. Roberts beckoned to her husband frantically them, for I know one was to have been sent up “Well, what has happened now?” cheerfully inquired that gentleman. When he was informed of the disaster, he burst out into such hilarious laughter that the guests in the dining room wondered what new development of the dinner was yet to come. “Well, it’s up to me to get that turkey, | suppose, though I would rather be shot, for I think there are two old maids it vabitine the floor above us. Wait ! | have an idea. Their turkey hasn't gone up yet, as they have ours, why not take theirs? No one will be the wiser.” “Oh, Harold, you are so clever, here comes the turkey now.” Just as they were removing the turkey from the dumb waiter, they heard a voice behind them. “Well, Helen, I see you have become untruthful. You told me you had cooked everything yourself, and here T find you getting your things from the kitchen. I have my opinion of young people who tell fibs.” As Helen turned, she saw the tyrannical Aunt Sally glaring at her. “1 me explain, Aunt Sally,” she began. set “No explanation necessary, I have eyes,” and Aunt Sally sailed majes- tically to the dining room. [Page Eight] THE ECHO The substitute turkey proved a great success, but the hostess felt, as she seen her aunt’s accusing eyes upon her, as if she were sailing under false colors. Things went smoothly along until time for dessert. Olga had brought in the plun udding and, being afraid to approach the table for fear of breaking more crockery, stood in the doorway, and unceremoniously an- nounced: “Here is the pudding, Mrs. Roberts.” Suddenly her foot slipped, and she fell headlong into the dining room, the pudding depositing itself in Aunt Sally’s lap, from whence it was extricated, and the broken pieces served with brandy sauce. By this time the four invited guests were striving painfully to keep their mirth in check, and things reached a climax when an irate gentleman sud- denly appeared, inquiring if they were the people who had purloined his tur- key. l‘inally, it was discovered that the old gentleman, who lived on the fifth floor, had ordered a turkey also, which had fallen into the hands of the Roberts’, while the people directly above got both turkeys, and thinking the second turkey was a mistake, had sent it back to the kitchen. fter explanations, the old gentleman proceeded to the kitchen for the extra turkey, and the dinner party progressed without further excitement to a close. After all the guests, but Aunt Sally had gone, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, standing together in the cluttered dining room, faced each other in silence for awhile, then burst out laughing. “Well,” said Harold,” we have learned not to brag about things before they are done. Lots of things can happen in ten minutes, but now we must get busy and make room for Aunt Sally, who evidently intends to stay a week,” [Page Nine] THE ECHO is edited and issued tke third Friday of each month during year by the students of the Santa Rosa High School.

The monthly is all right, it is excellent in its place, but in a school and city of our size a weekly should meet with the greatest success. The monthly journal has only one strong point, it is a journal, more or less artistic in style. Consider the weekly ; it is something like a newspaper, to be sure. But is not that what we want? A school paper containing school news—and that while it is fresh ?) At present you read of athletic contests, Governing Board meet- ings, and various school notes which are all the way from three to six or eve1 eight weeks old. The weekly you will get every week at a stated time, the news will be news, not olds, Modern, not Ancient History. The weekly gives more emphasis to athletics, school notes, and editorials; indeed, the editor will have to write an editorial every week, but the range of material will be wider. The paper will be more democratic, more space will be open for the [Page Ten] THE ECHO students at large to fill, class notes and school life will be given more atten- tion. The school as a whole will profit by the change. Another step in advance which should be made at the same time is a closer relation between the school paper and the Student Body; the affilia- tion of subscriptions and dues. At present there is often a conflict in raising the finances of these two; the rganization and its representative paper. Some students feel that when they have paid for their subscription it is not necessary for them to pay their dues, and vice versa. Many feel that they would gain nothing by becoming members of the Student Body. Let them get the paper in return. If we issue a weekly paper we want to put a copy of it in the hands of every pupil of the High School. The other activities, as well, need every student behind them. What we need is the hearty support of every student. But how are we going to get it ? Other schools have solved the problem, and we may profit by their examples. They make an estimate of what is needed to carry on the combined school activities, and each student is assess- ed accordingly. Upon the same principles our government is founded. This would be public or rather student ownership of activities. As has been sug- gested, a most convenient time to collect this ‘tax’ would be the time of registration. The fee will not be large, as compared with the present price of both dues and subscriptions. Thus all campaigning for funds will be done away with, and the hitherto wasted energy converted into steam to get up “school spirit.” At the next school election such amendments and revisions to the consti- tution as are deemed advisable will be balloted. If you believe in a weekly, vote for it; if you don’t, vote for it anyway, and give it a fair trial. Our principal and supervising principal favor the change and combination, so do the progressive members of our school. Let us have a Student Body Publica- tion that is a true representative of our school and its Organized Student Body. Roscoe Wallace, ‘14.

[Page Thirteen] The following exchanges have been received by us this month: The Toltec, Durango, Colo.: Your cover design is good, but why not change it at least once a year ? Nesika Wa Wa, Dayton, Wash.: Your paper would be excellent were it not for those ads on both the front and back covers. The Scarlet and Grey, Nelsonville, Ohio: You have the neatest cover design that we have received. The Wheat, Ritzville, Wash.: You have a good little paper, and we ap- preciate your criticism on our arrangement of Jokes and advertisements, but if your exchange editor will open her eyes, she will see that all the leading High School papers are following the same policy. Uneedme, Madisonville, O.: Your appearance would be improved by adding a few more cuts for your department headings. Come again, Uneedme. The Tattler, Milwaukee, Wis.: Your literary material is up to its usual standard, but we would suggest a new arrangement. Cut out the first six pages of ads and put them in the back of your book; also place your editorials after the literary material. The Bulletin, Stubenville, Ohio: Your paper is greatly improved over the previous issues, but your appearance would be benefited by changing the color of the cover this term. Your literary material is good and your cuts are carefully drawn. The White and Gold, Yreka, Cal.: We judge from your cuts that your school has a great deal of that much needed element, usually known as school spirit. You are a dandy paper. We find nothing to criticise. Lewis and Clark High School Journal, Spokane, Wash.: You have the best cuts that we have found in any High School magazine this term. Your literary material is good, but your appearance is greatly marred by having so many ads in the fron of your book. We are glad to have the Visalia High School News and the High School Weekly, Bakersfield, Cal., with us. We hope to add a large “Weeklies” to our exchange list.

They were both won by small margins, the relay deciding both, but we managed to get the needed points. Se Nasa GreAs clas The S. N. S.C. A. L. was a good, fast meet. Merritt breaking the discus record, while Chapman easily won the half and mile, besides running iv the relay. Argyle won the 50, third in the low hurdles, and gave us a lead in the relay. Russell had hard luck after running the high sticks in 17 §ec- onds, the wind blew over two, so he was disqualified, but he pulled second out of the pole vault. Robinson distinguished himself in the relay by over- taking a twenty-yard lead on a coon, thus gaining the name of coon-chaser. Ikoford heaved the hammer out, gaining second place, while Baker and 2 da Brown each got a third. N. W. S. A. A. L. This was one of the closest contested meets ever held in the league. It was a continual fight from start to finish, Santa Rosa leading in the score by a small margin to the end, the relay dieciding the winner, but at the finish of the meet orange and black floated from the top-most score. The fellows put forth all they had and that is why we won. Russell was the highest point winner, with If points; winning the high hurdles, second in the low hurdles and broad jump. Chapman finished a close second in the half-mile run in 2 flat; and then showed his great grit and endurance by winning the mile in 4.45, breaking the league record. [Page Fifteen] THE ECHO Merritt lived up to his reputation by hurling the hammer 141 ft. 1 in., then sending the discus 108.3, establishing a new league record. Argyle made a runaway in the 50, and ran a great lap in the relay. Hewitt jumped in good form, annexing second. Chop will show them next year; watch and see. Baker, Baum and Koford showed up well, each getting a third. Santa Rosa is glad to see Petaluma have such a good team, and wishes her good success in the future.

But they showea very little patience in quiting the team in the manner in which they did. In our game with Napa most of the boys knew very little of the game, and it was played mostly to learn some of the fine points. Now, however, the bovs have trained constantly, and are all up on the game, and under the eve of Mr. Blosser, we have a team the school can be proud of. From what Mr. Miller was heard to remark after the game with Napa, we would just as soon not have him any more. O. W. Berger, Football Editor. BASKET BALL Basket ball is now in full swing, as there is so many good fellows out, it will be a difficult matter to pick a team. The boys practice every night, and the rate they are going now it will be a hard matter to find a High School team in the county to beat them. We should worry about losing the S. N. S. C. A. L, championship. The boys have all played before, and when the first league game rolls around with Analy November 21, Santa Rosa [Page sixteen] fs ——— ————— | — THE ECHO will have a team on the court they can well be proud of. Every one who “possibly can should attend a nd support the team. A rooting section should be on hand to cheer the boys, for if they know the crowd is with them, they play all the hearder. So every one turn out. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL The girls have been practicing very hard and attentively this fall, even though they were rather late in getting started. If they keep up the good 1 work, they will produce a winning team. With the instructions of our coach, Miss Minnie Cooper, we will win the S. N. S.C. A. L. this year. Miss Cooper is an excellent coach and one that can't be found every day, and if more girls could come out for practice, | am sure they would profit by the coaching. The schools that are competing for the championship of the League this follows: Healdsbur year are as g, Cloverdale, Petaluma and These games are to be played before November 22, 1913. Series 1, S$. N. S. C. A. L. will be Petaluma vs. Santa Rosa, at Santa Rosa. Series 2—Healdsburg vs. Cloverdale, at Cloverdale. Finals—Winners of Series 1 vs. winners of Series 2 on the court of the victor of Series 2. We have always had a Girls’ Basket Ball team that we could be proud of. They have had victory for two years in this league, and have a beautiful loving cup to show for their work. They will win another'this year, if they have the support of every one in this school. ' ) s we are to play Petaluma, we want to have the game a success. Deer Keizen Vate ! I vill now dake pen in mine hand und let you know dot your deer unkle is ded.

The newspaper woman was facing him directly. They were well matched opponents. ‘The members of the Christmas house party, who were lounging around the room, straight- ened up and moved nearer to the fire that they might hear an argument sure to be interesting. It might almost be said that Colonel Wayte was typical of a class ol men who doubt every new decree of science until the rest of the world has accepted it. Not that telepathy has been accepted. The newspaper woman was young, well educated, talented, and, from her close contact with many of the comedies and tragedies of humanity, a student of life. They were as opposite as the poles of a magnet. “Upon what facts do you base your astounding question that such a thing as telepathy really exists ? I fancy that it is mreely the derangement of a mind—a condition caused by illness jor nervous disorders. It may be a thing for fanciful girls to dabble with, but, 1 confess, a poor subject for a studious. serious minded man to study.” The last word was uttered in a cynical, half amused way. “T base my assertion upon observations made during my ten years ot work as a reporter and correspondent. I have seen the power of telepathy: accomplish wonderful things.” Her eyes were downcast, and her face clouded for an instant. Then she raised her sad, dark eyes to the Colonel's [Page Seven] THE ECHO face and said: “Every year I am more sure of it—more certain that there is such a thing as telepathy.” The Colonel's lip was curling, much as if he would like to say, “Bosh !” but he contented himself with: “Suppose you let us hear some of the inci- dents, and judge for ourselves.” “IT don't like to talk about the case,” she said. “It seems almost in- human to use the affair as proof. It is Christmas Eve now, too, and there is a blizzard outside tonight, just as there was that night. But here it is: “Two years ago I was on my home from the eastern city in which | had been doing special work. It was the day before Christmas, and the trains were crowded. Most of the faces were so happy that a downcast countenance was particularly noticable. During the day I had been watch- ing a young man who seemed very much depressed. As the afternoon was graying into night, the car gradually emptied. I ate dinner about halt past five, and as I returned from the dining car, I passed the boy. He was scow ling through the wnidow into the blackness of a stormy night. He couldn't possibly see anything, so | knew that he was thinking, and from the ap- pearance of his face, | saw that such thoughts were not good company. The car lurched, and the sudden movement made me drop the little bag I car- ried. It dropped at his feet, and in the moment it took to regain it, I saw that he wore the same “frat” pin my brother did. That gave me an opening I discovered that he was a great friend of my brother's. He told me that he had been to New York to put his mother aboard a ship for Europe, and now after spending about a week there, he was returning to his college town. “ It is the first time I have been away from my mother, even for a night,’ he said. ‘She is my only living relative. Even when I played on the college team, she always traveled to the place in which we were to play. She rooted at games, and helped to care for wounded heroes on occasions As you probably know, she was educated at my college; and my father until his death, was a professor there. She was always studying and writ- ing. Lately, her eyes have troubled her a great deal. Last month our phy- sician, a specialist, told us that she would be blind within a year, unless she would undergo an operation which he was unwilling to perform wtihout the aid of a wonderful London eye specialist. So he has taken her to London They thought that I should stay here until May, when I will be graduated, There is nothing that I could do for her, and he was afraid that she might lose confidence if she could talk to me about it. The day for the operation was set for January first. All day I have felt that the operation is to take place tonight. I have the most horrible premonition of a failure. I know my mother wants me. As she stood on the ship, bidding me good-bye, she looked at me for a long time and said: ‘It may be the last time I will ever see your face, son—good-bye.’ I may be a coward, but without her, life isn’t worth the living. And if she must be blind. I would prefer to grope in darkness, too.’ “He talked far into the evening. Across the aisle, a baby cried, ana that diverted us. We noticed for the first time, that there was a fierce [Page Eight] THE ECHO blizzard raging outside, and the car was rocking violently from side to side. The negro porter stood at the other end of the car, his black eves bulging, and his whole body paralyzed with fear. The storm seemed uniti- portant and far away in the face of this boy’s distress. The woman across from us started down the aisle toward her berth. She carried the baby in her arms, and the little girl, only a few years old, tried to follow, but the motion of the train almost threw her from her feet. I picked her up ana carried her. The baby was crying, so I undressed the little girl, and stoopec le crash, and sound of rena- to tuck her in. Just then there was a ing timbers, and breaking of steel. I do not know what happened during the next few minutes. The first thing of which I was conscious was the cold wind in my face, and the stinging, driving sleet. My arms were bruisea and aching, but they still clung to the child. The train was in darkness, and the child was sobbing softly. We seemed lodged between two objects, with the wind and the sleet blowing in through an opening somewhere. Atter a g | Fes long time, some of the trainmen a lantern through the blinding storm, They extricated us with little difficulty. The car lay on its side, splintered and broken, and I saw by the fitful light, that we hae been wedged between two berths. The injured were carried up to a farm house, a few hundred yards from the scene of the wreck. I carried the child there that she might keep warm. Here her mother was, with the baby in her arms, searching frantically for the little girl. “Remembering the boy, and not finding him among the uninjured, i looked among the injured for him. great long room was filled with Pee] J crushed and groaning humanity. I found him in a far corner of the room. He was seriously injured, but his wounds had been hurried dressed. He : ; was in a dazed condition, but partly conscious. I spoke to him.

His mind had evidently never left the subject of his mother. “ “My mother, he said, ‘was operated on, and it was of no use. She doesn’t know. I wish that she would wake up and speak to me. Mother ! mother ! won't you speak ? For a long time he lay quietly, then suddenly he opened his eyes wide, and looked directly at me. He said, ‘She did speak. She said, “O,:my boy, I'll never see you here again. Good-bye ! good-bye ! Then after a long time, he spoke again very softly, ‘She is dead.’ “When the doctor got around to him half an hour later, he looked at the boy’s lifeless face, and shook his head. ‘He was not hurt so badly. | thought surely he would live.

Good-bye ! good- bye! Exactly that. I figured the difference in time, and the occurrences were almost simultaneous.” [Page Nine] The Dutchman’s Victory KEG N THE days when the country west of the Appalachians was an almost unknown wilderness, a few hardy pioneers “| had followed Daniel Boone over the mountains into the 4 fertile blue grass country, which is now Kentucky, wuere they had established a small settlement. In the center of every wilderness community a fort was built, and a strong stockade was placed around it. Near this the men and women, who had braved the dangers of this wild country, lived on their small farms. The greatest danger that the Kentuckians had to face, was the dang from the Indians, who were very numerous in this region. The ices Indians, of each tribe, adopted the cry of some wild animal as their signal in time of war. Each tribe had its own peculiar cry and different signals, which were readily understood by its own members. The Kentucky Indians imitated the call of the wild turkey, by using a whistle made from a turkey bone. On the Christmas eve, after the founding of the settlement, a woman went to the spring for water. Just as she was leaving the spring, she looked down and saw at her feet a turkey bone whistle. An awful fear clutched her heart. The Indians had been there. Swittly she ran to the nearest neighbors with the news. Soon men, women and children were hurrying to the stock- ade. Half of the men were left to guard the fort, in case the Indians should attack it; while half went in search of the savages to drive them out of the country. About midnight, this party, after having tramped over the hills in a vain search for the invaders, came to a deserted cabin. The Kentucky cabins were built of logs, and consisted of one room, with a loft above, which was reached by climbing up pegs fastened in the wall. The flooring of the loft was made of loose logs, which were not fastened in any way. The settlers, fearing to remain on the lower floor, climbed to the loft to rest. Soon afterwards they were wakened by voices in the cabin. Cautiously they pushed the logs apart, and peered through the cracks. In the room be- low, a number of Indians had gathered, and were lighting a fire in the huge fireplace, at the end of the cabin, that they might cook some venison, which they had carried with them. Among the settlers was a jovial little Dutchman, who, as he watched the Indians, became more and more excited, thus pushing the logs farther and farther apart. Finally in his anxiety to hear what the red men were say- ing. he pushed the logs so a apart that he tumbled through, shouting at the top of his voice, as he fell, “Vell boys ! here I comps !” The Indians, astonished at the outcry, and not comprehending from whence he had come, fled in terror, with the settlers in hot pursuit. On Christmas day, the men returned to the fort, having driven the Tn- dians from that region, and laughingly told how the little Dutchman had won the day. [Page Ten] The Fortune of Misfortune COWLING DARKLY, Tom Ritchie flung himself on a bench in the park and began thinking over his grievances. He had good reasons for feeling blue. For the past four years he had been attending Punahou college, and together with his three chums he had planned A ¥ . . 1 - NFS) to enter the great university at Berkeley the next fall. He had been preminent in schocl and had often borne the blue and gola of Punahou to victory in the football games. A bright future in the uni- versity football had been promi:ed him. Now all this was changed, for that morning his father had told him that his business affairs had failed and he couldn't afford to send ‘lem te college. Thus had his bright dreams and ambitions vanished, to be followed by the grim vision of going to work. But the surroundings would not permit anyone to remain gloomy very Icng. He was in the beautiful Kapiolani park, in Waikiki, a suburb ot Honolulu. On one side stood the small stone, vine-covered aquarium, and overtopping this, stood the crater Diamond Head, the “Gibraltar of tne Pacific.” On the other side was raised the imposing structure of the Maona hotel, with its broad walks, lawns and flowers. In front was the blue ses, extending in a semi-circle from the city to Diamond Head. Far out the white coral reef glistened in the sun. Directly in back was a small lake with beautiful lily-pads floating on the surface. [ar in the rear were the tree-clad, rocks mountains of Oahu. All around were green lawns, bright flowers and palm trees, with happy people scattered about. So no wonder Tom said, “Well, | guess I can stand it.” Feeling better, he ran down to the surf, and was soon splashing in the water with the rest of the gay assemblage. The next morning Mr. Ritchie said: “Tom, I wish you would get on your wheel and take this package over to Mr. Butler.” Mr. Butler was a business acquaintance woh lived in the mountains above the orphan asylum. “All right,” replied Tem, and followed by his dog Prince, he set out. The weather was good, the roads better, and Tom was feeling excel- lent. Everything was perfectly lovely until “psst,” —a puncture. With a muttered exclamation, he got off and led his wheel to one side, proceeding then on a shert cut across the mountains. While in the heart of these Waianai mountains, in an unfrequented and wild place, Tom, as he was going whistling along very unconcerned, felt the cround give way, and the next minute he and Prince were precipitated headlong into a deep cavern. It was one of those caves that had a pparently been formed by the eruption of some now extinct volcano. Dazed, he got up, and then very naturally, attempted to climb out, but without success, for each time he slid back. In his groping about the place he happened to touch some hard, round object,and wonderingly he lit a match, and saw revetled a skeleton! From the equipment and armor scattered around he judged the man to have been a soldier in the army of Kamehameha. First he decided that the place must have been a grave [Page Eleven] THE ECHO yard, but remembering his own futile attempts to escape, he reasoned that maybe the soldier, having fallen in there and unable to get out, had starved to death. Tom pictured a similar fate for himself. He had shouted till he was hoarse, and was unable to climb out, so what course of escape was open to him? Building a fire from some old tree leaves, he was able to survey the entire cavern. To all appearance it was a regular prison with smooth walls. But away in the furthermost corner a little niche could be discerned. Inspecting this, Tom caught the glint of some yellow color, and thrusting in his arm drew out a long cloak, or chuula. It was made entirely of feathers of the mamo and oo birds. With fast beating heart Tom held it up and examined it. Then he let out a ell of joy. Now formerly there existed in Hawaii two birds, the mamo and the oo. They were very rare and are now extinct. Each of these specimens of avi fauna had a tuft of about ten feathers on his breast. In the mamo, these feathers are orange and black, and in the 00, yellow and black. The ancient Hawaiians used these feathers to make their cloaks of. There are only a few of such cloaks in existence, and those are in the Pauchi museum at Kali. near Honolulu. The most famous collection of feathers is the cloak of Kamehameha I, which took one hundred years to make, and its cost has been estimated at high as one million dollars. It is made from the mamo. the rarest of Hawaiian birds. No wonder Tom was so elated! Although his specimen was not near so good as the museum's specimen, still it would bring a fair price to its owner. Then he thought of getting out. Prince, meanwhile, digging at a hole in one corner, had made quite a large aperture, when suddenly the side of the wall caved in and a long corridor was revealed. Then the question as to how the skeleton heppenead to be in the cave solved itself. This was a room dug by the priests of the ancient Hawaiian religion, and that was the skeleton of some QOahuan chieftain, and this was his burial room. Grasping the robe, Tom felt his way down the hall, which yas lined with skeletons and idols, and finally after an hour's grouping, came to the entrance, a small, shallow cave in a desolate place about a mile from the scene of the mishap. Tom delivered his package and returned home. relieving the anxiety of his father, who was beginning to wonder what had happened, lhe museum authorities were glad to purchase the robe, and in a few days Tom was presented with a check of quite large dimensions. With part of the proceeds he helped set his father up in USINess again, and the re- mainder, together with what he earned that summer, sufficed to pay his way for two years in the university. By that time he loped his father could assist him. So two months later the liner Manchuria. for San Francisco, found Mr. om Ritchie a passenger, and together with him three other young men— a jolly crowd. The next week he was enrolled in the University of California —his ambition and desire fulfilled.

[Page Thirteen] Scenes From a Jenkinsville Christmas Scene I—The Choir Rehearsal H, DEAR,” sighed Mrs. Marshall, gazing at the rain beat- ing against the window pane, “I do wish | didn’t have to go to reheatsal today; it is such a nuisance to drive so far in such weather! But I suppose I must,” and feeling somewhat like a martyr, Mrs. Marshall donned raincoat and rubbers, climbed into the family surrey, and started the long-suffering family horse on a jog-trot toward the village, where in the little country church, the vocal talent of Jenkinsville was to congre- gate to rehearse the Christmas anthems. When she arrived at the church, Mrs. Marshall found the leading so prano, the organist, and one of the altos discussing the latest news around the. tire. “Why, how do you do ? Mrs. Marshall. I am so glad to see you braved the storm. You live so far that we thought you would not come,” said Mrs Williams, the leading soprano. “Ves, indeed,’ added Miss Graha,m the organist, “it is such a disagreeable day that I very nearly telephoned around to see about postponing the re hearsal, but Mrs. Larkins thought we had better have it anyway. It is very easy for her, because she lives right near the church.” “Well, I though it my duty to come. I am sure Mr. Monroe ought to appreciate all we are doing to have some good music here for once. Here come Mr. Grey and Mr. Weyland. I do wish Mr. Grey wouldn’t get so off the tune in that tenor solo. I[ suppose Mrs. Larkins will be about ten minutes late; it is always those who live nearest who are late,” and after criticizing the other members of the choir, Mrs. Marshall distributed the hymn books around on the chairs. The entrance of the other choir members cut short further conversa- tion, and the vocal talent of Jenkinsville pr vceeded to rehearse the Christ mas music, Miss Graham presiding at the organ, and Mr. Monroe, the minister, in the capacity of choir director. “Now,” directed Mr. Monroe, “we will first try the offertory anthem. We had difficulty last time with the tenor and soprano duet. Ready now, Miss Graham.” During the organ prelude, the members of the choir sat tightly grasp- ing their books, looking as if they were ready to undertake desperate meas- ures as soon as the word was given. At the end of the prelude they stood up, and instantly plunged into the hymn, occasionally stopping to repeat a difficult bar, about which everybody gave advice as to how it should be sung, and looked offended if the advice were not taken. After practicing various hymns, in the progress of which were some [Page Fourteen] re | THE ECHO very appalling discords, each member went home to entertain his or her family with a discussion about the other members of the choir. Scene I]—Christmas Shopping Karly one morning about three weeks before Christmas, the Wey- land family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Weyland, Grace, Jack and Gertrude, packed themselves into the spacious family surrey and started off to Leroy, the county seat, to do their Christmas shopping. When they arrived at Leroy, Mrs. Weyland said to her husband: “Now, Henry, you take the children with you while I do the shopping. I can't be bothered with them today. Be sure and don’t let Jack eat tov much candy, and see that Gertrude doesn’t get run over, as she will surely try to do.” With these parting injunctions, Mrs. Weyland consigned the children to her husband's care, a proceeding which that gentleman did not appear to fully enjoy. His reasons for his reluctance to take charge of the children may be readily seen by a little study of the children’s char- acters. They had progressed about a block, when Gertrude darted across the street after a small dog which had won her affections, narrowly es- caping being run over by a car, and causing her father to disarrange his necktie in his frantic efforts to rescue her. “Now the show begins! Henry, old man, keep calm, this is only the beginning.” While Mr. Wyland was giving himself this advice, little Jack’s eye had been caught by a tempting display of candy in the window, so that youth immediately began a series of petitions, each succeeding one becoming more plaintive than the one before. Papa, Less. “Give me a nickel ?” “What for ?” “Candy.” “No! “Why ?” “Because it isn’t good for you.” “Why not?” “Because your mother said so.” The result of this dialogue was a howl from Jack, beginning with a pianissimo, and rapidly reaching a gortissimo. Just at this critical period, the exasperated father saw a friend approaching to speak with him, and being anxious to avoid attracting attention, and desirous of holding a con- versation, he took the shortest route out of his difficulty. “Here, for the welfare of the general public, is a nickel apiece. Go and buy some some candy, but don’t bother me again.” Mr. Weyland now entered into a conversation with Mr. Williams, a Jenkinsville neighbor, who seemed rather worn out, like himself. “Say, Weyland,” said Mr. Williams, “isn’t this Christmas shopping about the worst thing you ever experienced ? My wife dragged me down to Hall's [Page Fifteen] THE ECHO art store to look at a brass pipe rack for my uncle, and insisted that | her that I didn’t care what she got, sh [ | Sarah’s new coat, or why it is necessary for me to presen myself. am sure I don’t care about what pattern s cigars to my second cousin, but I have to trot from « another, while she eg ets everything from a box of cigar when I tried to tell ought to look at it 1e gets for Cousin a box of fifty-cent to s to a box of hair- ) end of town ne exe ‘pins, and thinks it necessary to remember all our relations forty times removed.” “T agree with you there, Williams, I assure you I will be glad wheu noon comes, and my wife takes charge of the children. It is about time for me to meet her now, so I will be off. So long,” and Mr. Weyland proceeded to the coffee club where he found his wife waiting for him, in earnest conver- sation with two Jenkinsville ladies, whom he recognized as members of the committee sent out by the Jenkinsville Ladies’ Aid Society, to purchase pres- ents for the Sunday School Christmas tree. “Good afternoon Miss Graham and Mrs. Larkins. How are you getting along with your shopping?” he asked, striving to appear politely interested. “T will never go shopping for the Ladies’ Aid again, never !” declared Mrs. Larkins emphatically. “I think they might put people who had more time on the committee. It is all | can manage to get my own shopping done -ommittee.” and besides, everything that goes wrong is blamed on the « “T think so, too,” replied Miss Graham. “Last year I vowed | would never buy the presents again, but here | am doing the same thing.

(). — THE AMENDMENTS: There has been since the beginning of all govern- ments times when the laws have grown cumber- some and have been outgrown by the needs of the people. The Governing Board has decided that the time has arrived when the constitution of the High School needs revision. With this end in view the Board appointed a com- mittee to draw up some amendments to the constitution and have them ratified by the Student Body. The first amendment proposed is one to change the school journal fron: a monthly magazine to a weekly newspaper. The need of a weekly paper was discussed in the November issue of The Echo. The second amendment is to create the office of Student Manager. This [Page Highteen] THE ECHO will be a stwdent who will take over the duties going-with the financial part ot the school activities. He will have charge of the sale of all tickets, the advertising and the arrangement of all games participated in by the Hign School teams. This office will fill a long felt want in our school. It wil tend to centralize the management of school affairs and a more complete and accurate account may be rendered to the Student Body. This plan is carried out by the Universities at Berkeley and Palo Alto, and by many High Schools and Colleges throughout the State. dD dD dD A third amendment will be one making the payment of Student Body ues compulsory. Wath the approval of the Board of Education, after a long discussion in the Governing Board it was decided to make the dues fifty cents a term, and to give the High School paper to every student. It is hoped that this plan will raise more money than the present one, as only one- third of the students pay their dues under the present plan. The dues ot every student must, under the new plan, be paid some time between the date of his entrance to High School and the filing of his enrollment card in — ie office. If your card is not on file in the office with the O. K. of your class collector, you will not be considered a member of the High School. It may be of interest to some to note that when the question came up for dis- cussion in the Governing Board, some of the more radical members of the Board proposed that the dues be made seventy-five cents or one dollar, as is charged in several High Schools in the State. There will be several more amendments to come up at the next genera! election, but they will be of minor importance, such as a new method ot recording the vote of the individual members of the Governing Board, and the amendment regarding a better way of amending the present consti- tution. Students |! These amendments are of vital interest to the Studen Body, and as such they deserve youd most intensive tsudy. The Echo is in favor of all the proposed measures, as we think they point to better management and government of student affairs, and as such, we earnestly request that you vote “Yes” on all the measures to come before you at the next election. The management of The Echo takes occasion to extend its thanks to The Elite Studio and The Press Democrat for kind favors shown us during the past term. Especially are we indebted to the many merchants and friends of the school who have, by their financial support, through advertising, made the existence and success of this paper possible.

The team was practically all new material, so next term it should be a whiz. We captured the beautiful cup at Petaluma in the N. W. S. A. A. L., but we have to win twice more before it is ours for keeps. So next term let us all train hard and have the object in view of bringing it home again. Next term there will be five meets, and keener competition, so that means harder work for us. Last term we got third out of the A. A. L., but this year let’s try to win, or even clumb up a step on the ladder to second. Chapman, Merritt and Russell are going to make some scores in the Stanford and “Big C” meets. The members left from last term’s team are Chapman, Merritt, Russell, Koford, Hewitt, Gnesa, Argyle, Robinson, Baum, Meyers, Crane, Baker and Brown. The success of the team is largely due to the earnest efforts and hard work of Coach Steele. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The boys’ basketball team journeyed to Healdsburg November 11 th and met their first and only defeat of the season, so far. The floor was slippery and the hall poorly lighted, which accounts for the defeat. On a regular court the boys would have easily defeated them. On the 21st of November the boys took Analy into camp by a score ot 57 to 17. This was the first league game and they certainly got off to a flying start. There was not a minute that the eo of the game was in doubt. The boys played together exceedingly well. Again, on December 5th, they journeyed to Petaluma and defeated them by a score of 29 to 12, The game was fast and clean, and all our boys played like veterans. This was a semi-final game, so that now it remains for them to defeat Cloverdale her on the r2th of December. The fellows are all in condition and at the top of form, and as Clocerdale has a good fast team, this should be a good game. To date the team has played seven games, winning six of them. Their victims were Petaluma twice, Analy, Business College, Town Team and Men’s Gymnasium class. Our team has made 221 points against their opponents’ [Page Twenty-four] THE ECHO 73. This is a record that not many schools can show. In fact, no team in this part of the country has a record like it. The team is now registered in the P. A. A. league, and after the Christ- mas vacation will play some of the best high school teams around the bay. The following share all the credit of the games played: C. Hewitt, (captain) H. Fry, (manager) forwards; O. Berger, center; Crane, Peterson and Meyers, guards. They are all wearing block “S’s” now. FOOTBALL TEAM Champions of Sonoma County! That’s what they are; undisputed cham- pions! The team has that consolation, althouth it has not won a game, so far. Our closest score was with Mt. Tamalpais Academy on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The score was 5-3. It was a good, fast game, and exciting all the way through. They also tried Vallejo, but after the game concluded Vallejo was too strong for them. It was raining hard and the field was one big mud puddle. Indeed, the big game at Berkeley in 1912 had nothing on us. After the game their own grandmothers could not have recognized the boys. But nevertheless the boys all say they had lots of fun. But listen ! They again challenged Napa, and were again defeated by a score of 54 to o. There is no excuse to make except that they were too much for us. And right here let me say this much for Napa, that there is not another school its size in the State that can defeat them. Of course, they play only Rugby, which accounts for their remarkable team, but they also have the big fellows that go to make a team. This is the first year our school has played Rugby, so next year we will be heard from. HURRAH ! Just as The Echo goes to press we received word that the Boys’ Basket Ball team defeated Cloverdale by the score of 35 to tr. This decides the championship of the county, and gives us the right to play either San Rafael or Lakeport for the championship of the Northwestern Sub-League Oifthesan An. les The Santa Rosa High School girls defeated St. Helena High at St. Helena by the score of 2t to 17, in a game marred by the interference of spectators. [Page Twenty-five] We are glad to see so many exchanges on our table this month. Most of our old friends are with us, besides many new ones. A pleasing feature of the exchanges this year is the marked improvement on the part of many, over their previous efforts. The exchange that first attracts our attention is the Nautilus, from Santa Monica, Cal. You are excelle nt; the best exchange we have received this term. All your ideas of arrangement are original—to us at’ least— and your numerous cuts are carefully worked out so that they present a finished appearance, a very essential point which many high school journals seem to lack. From Napa High comes the Napanee, a very neat magazine with an ex- cellent cover. We look with admiration upon your famous aggregation of Rugby stars, who caused our football heroes to bite the dust. The Anvil, Painesville, Ohio: Your arrangement is not good, and you have detracted much from your appearance by cutting up your editorial and placing a portion of it in your school notes. We are inclined to believe that school papers which have so few cuts as yours could easily get along without putting ads in the front end of your book covers. The Red and Black, Tampa, Florida: Your editorial is excellent and would undoubtedly benefit many students if they would follow out its teachings. We also admire your business manager, for he has ads in excess to the other material of the book. Uneedme, Madisonville High School, Cincinnati, Ohio: Your arrangement is good, but a table of contents would be a great improvement to your book. The Budget, Lawrence, Kansas: By confining your ads to the back ot your book and adding some cuts to your departments you would be a dandy little paper. Come again, Budget. The Columbia News, Columbia Grammar School, West 93d street, New York City: You have a paper that would make a great many high school journals ashamed of themselves. Your arrangement is excellent and we find many interesting topics in your columns. The Progress, Washington, Union High, Easton, Cal.: Your cuts are not up to the standard. We think it is the grade of ink that makes them so indistinct. Otherwise your paper is good. [Page Twenty-six] THE ECHO The Toltec, Durango, Cal.: You can surely afford to change covers once ina decade. We fully realize that your cover is good, but would suggest that you try something new. The Aurora, Anderson, Shasta Co., Cal.: Your material is good, but carelessness on the part of the printer has detracted much from your ap- pearance. The Quiver, Marion, Ohio: We experienced considerable difficulty iu finding your table of contents, as we usually refrain from looking at any contain ads in the front of your book. Your stories are good and your jokes original. High School Life, Warren, Ohio: Your material is good, but your size is clumsy for a high school paper. We would suggest that exchanges be given a more conspicuous place. : The Academe, North Adams, Mass.: You contain much good material, but by using the following arrangement your appearance would be improved: First, Table of Contents, Literary Material, Editorial, School Notes, Athletics, Exchanges, etc., and lastly the jokes. The Scarlet and Gray, Nelsonville, Ohio: Your cover is good, but we grew weary turning pages of ads before we came to your literary department. A few more cuts for your department headings would add to your appearance. Rayen Record, Youngstown, Ohio: We are surprised by the markea improvement shown over previous issues. By cutting out your front pages ot ads you would be an excellent magazine. The Commerce Journal, 155 West 65th St., New York: We are glad to welcome you to our lists. Your material is full of life and your cartoons are snappy, but you follow the same policy of many of our Eastern friends, putting ads in the front of your book. The Oahuan, Honolulu, Hawaii: Your football number is very good. We think that you show improvement over your previous numbers. The Cascade, Seattle, Wash., October and November numbers: Your cover on the October number is very good, but we would suggest larger type for the inside of your book. We find that you as well as numerous other excellent school hagazines mar your appearance by putting ads in the front The Elk, Elk Grove: Your paper is above the usual standard of righ school magazines. Our only suggestion is. do not use two sizes of type in your book. Come again Elk. The Oak, Washington Lower High, Berkeley, Cal.: We are specially interested in you because you print your own poper. Your material is good and we find fewer typographical errors in it than in many other papers which are printed by skilled workmen. Come again Oak. ...-We appreciate the receipt of the following weeklys and bi-weeklvs. We will not offer any criticisms, as we are contemplating one ourselves. We will be very glad to exchange with all weeklys. The Bulletin, Oakland, Cal.; High School News, Visalia, Cal: The O. A. C. Barometer, Corvallis, Oregon ; The Park Stylus Parksville, Missouri: [Page Twenty-seven] THE ECHO High School Weekly, Bakersfield, Cal.; The Scoop, Belvedere, IIl.; The Academy, Morgan Park, III. Delphic Echoes, Dinuba, Cal.: You have a dandy paper. Your stories are good and your cuts clever, but we think that a table of contents would improve your appearance. The Adjutant, Mt. Tamalpais: You have a good little paper. We are especially interested in you as one of our-former students is now serving as business manager. The Mercury, Milwaukee, Mis., East Division: Your cover is exeremely good and your arrangement is above the average, but the ads in the front mar your appearance. The Kodak, Everett, Wash.: Your numerous departments are all well taken care of, and we enjoy you more because we find ads neither in front or back, a long step in the advancement of high school journals. Nesika Wa Wa, Daytn, Wash.: We do not consider you up to the standard of high school papers. You have marred your appearance in every possible way; by placing the contents on the outside cover, when there is a blank page, where the contents should be. We do not understand why you should leave pages blank in the back and put ads on the front cover. We enjoyed reading your short stories. The Blue Owl, Attelboro, Mass.: You are up to your usual standard, but we would suggest that you secure a few more cuts. The Poly High, Los Angeles: You are a dandy little paper. Your cuts are all good. We wish you luck with your weekly. Santa Rosa High is thinking of starting a wekly at the beginning of the new term. The Lewis and Clark Journal, Spokane, Wash.: Your literary depart- ment is one of the best that we have found this term. In fact, we find nothing to criticise, with the exception of the arrangement. The ads belong in the back of the book and editorials should follow your literary department. The Signal, Sisterville, W. Va.: Your appearance would be benefited by using larger faced type. We see a marked improvement over previous num- bers. Come again Signal, [Page twenty-eight] O Short Poem Lad, lass Cut class No pass.—Ex. If water makes milk thin what make gas-so-line?

Just then he heard an awtul roar, And Ariovistus entered the door ; The razor bounced back with a fearful queck, And laid the old Gaul out on his back. “T’'ve killed him dead, or I'll be bound,” Said Caesar as he tore his old nightgown; “And whether the weather be dry or wet, I'll always use a safety Gilette.” Now don’t all speak at once, If this poem, you do not like.

Potter Hardware Co. 636-638 Fourth Street, Santa Rosa THE MARVEL OF THE JUNIOR CLASS New use of electricity, not even to be found among the perfect Seniors; he Fehestiee) The wished for, needed by the Spohs. and wished for by 1eeded and admired subject, is nothing less wonderful than a battery found in the leg of a Junior. Its discovery was an accident, the button being yressed by the bed clothes, causing a sudden streak of livliness in the Junior. ‘rle was very shy about his wonderful leg and could not be gotten to tell if the button was labeled “on” and “off.” ior the convenience of his elass- nates, I will tell you that the switch can be found in his right leg, jus t above he buttons of his shoe. If he gets excited just push ve button. When Mr. Rogers had finished telling of his new discovery, he marked that he was expecting to take a trip to Napa. WHO IS HE? “Last year I did not want to embrace my best girl to make her propose to me, so I asked her to be my wife, and she said, ‘I would rather be ex- cused,’ and I, like an idiot, excused he. But I got even with the girl, I mat ried her mother. Now I don’t know who I am. “When I married the gi rl’s mother, the girl became my daughter, ana when my father married my daughter, he is my son. When my father married my daughter was my mother. If my father is my son, and my 1 M4 ; 4 re 2 y daughter is my mother, who in the thunder am I? My her S oie (who is my wife) must be my grandmother, and I being my grandmother’s husband, am my own grandfather.” INDEPENDENT OIL COMPANY ROBERTS AVENUE, SANTA ROSA, CALIF.
