After much deliberation and advice from the principal, Mr. Searcy, who filled us with awe, we were registered in August, 1911. At the same time we were told that we were such insignificant, untrained mortals that we were to be seated in the front of the study hall. That first day of school holds memories for us which we do not care to resurrect. The Freshmen Reception, given in our honor, proved a dreaded but delightful experience to those of us who were not too bashful to attend. Many who are now graduating entered High School in January, 1912, when we old ones were dignified by the appellation of “stale Freshies.” Since many of this class have caught up with us, we will say that they made no more mistakes than we did—and we enjoyed that fact; but we did’t have to stand trembling outside the study hall doors, until given permission to enter single file. Although we had on great honors heaped upon us during our emerald year, most of our classmates became interested in school activities. Compared with our last two years, our Sophomore year was uneventful. Mr. Montgomery became principal. The Annex was completed and our stars, Koford, Merritt, Russell and Peterson became really distinguished in athletics. We became very necessary to the school in our Junior year. We chose our class pins much to our satisfaction, but to no one else’s. At Christmas, 1913, our monthly was changed to a weekly, and we were even more prominent on the paper staff. With the coming of the dean, Mrs. Adams, jolly social times began. During the fall term, we had a party at Fanita Jewell’s, and later a “hard times” party at Elma Quinby’s. At the end of the year, we bade good- bye to the Seniors with a very successful Junior Prom. Last August we came back to school Seniors. What magic in that word! Early in the semester we had a picnic at Pine Lake, arranged for us by our new dean, Miss Moodey. We were full of class spirit and couldn’t even by quelled by the proprietor of a candy store who objected to our school yells. Fred Hatch, the president of our class, was elected editor of the school paper, of which we were all justly proud. This term Fanita Jewell was elected editor. Besides other class and school social events, we have been enter- t ained by Ruth Anderson, Erle Rogers and Clifford Merritt. The Junior Prom, Senior picnic and Senior theatre party at Sebastopol have also served to divert our attention from our arduous studies. This semester, Seawell Farwell, who has been a very able executive, was elected president of our class. We selected “Sherwood,” Alfred Noyes’ famous tragedy, for our Senior play, and in spite of its many difficulties made it a success. As Seniors we are the best athletes and best debaters of the school, as Twenty THE ECHO we should be. Eddie, Jack, Boots, Eva, Covey and Baum and several others have distinguished themselves and won the Inter-class meet for us. Our debating members are: Leo Sullivan, Alice and Edward Koford. Now, after having completed our High School course, we are leaving the old school for the greater work which lies before us. As we stand on the threshold of graduation, we are glad for all the lessons you have taught us, dear old school, and it is with sorrow that we bid you good-bye. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1915 We, the class of June, ’15, having convinced our teachers that we are finished products, seek to be relieved of many burdens and responsibilities which are now upon us. After due consideration of everything, we will and bequeath the following: To the Freshmen we bequeath this kindly advice: Don’t try excuses with Miss O’Meara,—‘‘a word to the wise is sufficient.” To the band we leave one hound to increase its harmony. To the music department we sorrowfully leave Wesley Colgan, the rock that wrecked the Hesperus. To the Juniors we bestow the honor of emulating the Minerva of our study hall, and we also leave to them, in trust, our Senior seats. To the Sophomores, we leave the school javelin to spear the elusive E’s, and a bottle of glue to stick them to Mrs. Yost’s Book of Records. To the entire Student Body we wish to leave the impression that it was in honor of the graduating class of 1915 of Santa Rosa High, that San Fran- cisco decided to have a world’s fair.

We wished it produced entirely by our own actual efforts. After careful consideration, we chose “Sherwood,” because it had a large cast and splendid scenic effects. Tryouts were held before the spring vacation. After each student had read aloud his part, the judges, Miss O’Meara, Miss Moodey, and Miss Koepke, made their decision, considering in each case general appearance, voice, enunciation, and expression. To obtain a standard of comparison for our school performance, a group of teachers and members of the cast went to see Stanford’s production of “Sherwood.” The party included Miss O’Meara, Miss Moodey, Miss Engle, Miss Keech, Miss Koepke, Miss Olivia Smith, Miss Vivian Bolton, Mr. Chauncey Peterson, Mr. Leo Sullivan, and Mr. Carl Steinnort. To those in- terested in the Senior play, the presentation of the same play by the English Club of Stanford seemed a bit of rare good fortune, since it afforded us an opportunity of securing standards of comparison. Professor Bassett, who coached the English Club, kindly loaned Miss Moodey, the music, poster cuts, and scenery for two acts. Miss Engle, Miss Keech, and Miss Koepke were taken behind the scenes that they might gain new ideas, and the Santa Rosa students were introduced to those of the Stan- ford cast. Both the teachers and the Seniors greatly enjoyed Stanford’s hospi- tality, and kindly interest extended them on their visit. Soon after the return of the teachers and Seniors actual work was begun. Miss Moodey generously gave of her leisure time to coach the play. In the sewing classes, Miss Carpenter and Miss Keech undertook the task of making no less than seventy-five costumes. The majority of the costumes were very simple in design, the gowns of the ladies being fashioned with full skirts, waists, and sleeves, though the court costumes of the men were more ela- borate, being made with velvet blouses, skirts and flowing capes, trimmed with gold braid or fur, with velvet hats to match. The soldiers of the “Prince” and “Sheriff,” clad in doublets and leggings of leather or mail, wore helmets and carried spears, but Robin Hood’s men, dressed in doublets and trunks, were armed only with bows and arrows. The fairy music of the play, some of which was written by Mr. Maile, was sung by a selected chorus. Miss Snee’s classes danced, taking the part of fairies. The spot chosen for enacting our play was a bend in the Santa Rosa creek, which formed a natural amphitheatre. Seats were terraced in this bank on one side, while the gravelly sandpit on the other served as a stage. Behind this, rose another bank, which formed a natural sounding board. The eraceful, dignified, and clustered greenery made a realistic “Sherwood” forest of natural beauty. The lighting was accomplished by reflected lights placed low enough to obviate the use of footlights. No curtains were used. During Thirty-seven PH E LOO the changing of scenes lights were darkened. The mechanism of this work also was undertaken by the Seniors, supervised by a member of the Alumni. As the Seniors were to present the play, they managed the finances through their own business manager, Earl Covey, who had gained his ex- perience the previous year. There being a limit to expenditures, we had to make, and wished to make this undertaking a lesson in finances. Thanks to Miss Carpenter and Miss Keech, our costumes cost only eighty dollars. ‘Through careful figuring, the entire expense came under two hundred dollars. fifty dollars. As we had planned, we made the presentation of Sherwood strictly a school affair. All of the details were worked out by members of the school. We have learned lessons in costuming, music, dancing, scenic effects, coach- ing, finances, and by the untiring efforts of all concerned, we have produced be- fore the public one of the most successful plays that has ever been staged by any graduating class. SLO While King Richard is fighting in the Holy Land to wrest Christ’s sepulchre from the infidels, his younger brother, Prince John, rules England. Prince John, a cruel wicked man, hates the Earl of Huntington (Robin Hood), 2 because the latter defends the oppressed and the poor against cruel laws and customs of the times. Prince John declares Robin Hood an outlaw, and begs Maid Marian, the betrothed of Robin Hood, to break her betrothal and come to the palace to live. Maid Marian refuses. Queen Eleanor, Prince John’s mother, herself in love with Robin Hood, in order to see him. persuades Maid Marian’ by the plea that Robin Hood is wounded, to take her to the outlaw’s cave in “Sherwood” forest. On the way, she attempts to take Maid Marian’s life. Robin Hood, thoroughly aroused by the treacherous attack upon his sweetheart, refuses to listen to the suggestion that he himself may easily be- come King of England. Before leaving the forest, Queen Eleanor has learned that the next day Maid Marian and her attendants will be left alone at the cave, while the out- laws go to a neighboring village to rescue one of their number. On the following day Prince John makes his a tempt ) catry away Marian, but is defeated by the unexpected return of Robin Hood and a mysterious knight, who is discovered to be King Richard. The King restores the earldom to Robin Hood, and is present at his wedding to Maid Marian, but one month later, returns to the Holy Land. Prince John, no longer controlled by his brother, seizes Robin Hood and has him walled up in a tower cell to die of starvation, but Shadow-of-a-Leaf, Marian’s fool, rescues Robin Hood, and at the price of his own entrance into Fairyland, discloses the fact that the King has been killed. The two rescue Marian from the court and flee to “Sherwood.” In doing so, Robin Hood is seriously wounded and is taken to a convent for treatment. By the treachery of a forester who has been out of his band, the Queen learns of this, and disguising herself as a gray nun, goes immediately to the convent, where she secures the privilege of treating Robin Hood. During the Vesper service, she murders him and Maid Marian. Shadow-of-a-Leaf’s great sacrifice, however, is not wasted, for he sees Robin Hood and Maid Marian enter into Fairyland, where they are to remain until judgment day. Thirty-eight THE: ECOL When he himself is overcome with grief because the gates of Fairyland close in his face, Blondel, the minstrel, raises him to his feet and bids him seek the great King of all the Universe.

It seems so short a time since we were Freshmen, bowing in divers attitudes to upper classmen. Next year we will be Seniors. But we haven't been just waiting jor our Senior year. Our Picnic Mirst we had a picnic on Lake Jonive, with weinies and buns and the most delicious coffee. Miss Koepke, Miss Reach, Mrs. Morehouse and Miss Moodey chaperoned us. The lake was most beautiful and everything was very enjoyable. Even a narrow escape in a leaky boat could not dampen our ardor, and so the evening flew before we realized it. Hallowe’en Dance On that delightful night, just meant for merrymaking, Hallowe’en, the Seniors gave us a party and dance in the gymnasium. The old “oym’’ would not have recognized itself in a mirror, so completely transformed was it by the skillful hands of the Seniors. Of course there were games for those who did not come to dance, and very novel and interesting they proved. The refresh- ments were most delicious, and were fully appreciated by the merrymakers. Shortly before midnight we made our adieus, all vowing that we would surely speak a good word for the Seniors as hosts and hostesses. Trip to Petrified Forest We had been planning a picnic all by ourselves, but when some one sug- gested that we join the physical geography class on their trip to the noted Petrified Forest, the proposal met with unanimous a yproval. We made the trip in two great wagons drawn by four horses, going up by Mark West, and ‘ returning by the Rincon grade. We started early th noon-day heat while riding, but old Sol made things rz fet) we might avoid the her hot for us before we reached our destination, about 2:30. We need not say we had lunch im- mediately. We found the forest most interesting and instructive, and the trip delightful. The Junior Prom. The Junior Prom. was held June 12th in the High School Auditorium. The hall was transformed into an attractive ball room. The rustic hop baskets overflowing with wild honeysuckle and grape vines gave a most artistic effect. The refreshments were served in the artistically decorated cor- ridor. We will leave the judgment of the affair to the Seniors. for we always were a modest class. Forty Our class as Freshmen did not take much part in the affairs of the school, except to furnish material for the joke staff of The Echo. But with the beginning of the last term, we awoke to our responsibilities and early in the term held a meeting at which we elected Sidney Drysdale president. Later in the year a party was held in the Annex, which was a great suc- cess, both from the standpoint of entertainment and finances. The gymnas- ium was artistically decorated, much to the credit of the decorating com- mittee. In the early part of the evening a mock field meet was held in which Miss O’Meara, head of our English department, won the “laurels,” and much applause. The rest of the evening was devoted to dancing and games. Before the close of the term a meeting was called in which Morton Farwell was chosen president for the coming term, and George Marvin class representative. This term Fred Kellogg kindly offered to hold the class party at his [ the evening, and under the home. The boys of the class were the hosts « able management of the committees, it proved a great success. Guessing games were held, and Irving Cameron was presented with a “valuable” watch ay his class dues. After this the fob from Woolworth’s, for being the first to floor was cleared for dancing S However, the temptation to sing was to strong to be resisted, when some and games were held in an adjoining room. popular melodies were played. Even the dignified Miss Moodey was soon warbling the air of “Chinatown, My Chinatown.” We all feel that we are indebted to our dean, Miss Moodey for her invaluable aid and assistance in getting up this affair. We are very proud to claim in our class, three of the school’s champions in athletics, namely, Weeks, the strong arm man; Meyers, the sprinter, and Pressley, one of the distance men. The points added by our class fellows, did much to help Santa Rosa’s fine score in the S. N. S. and the C. [. F. track meets. The girls of the class have been active in athletics, holding positions on the basketball team. Perhaps on the whole we have not been very active as a class this term, but next year as Juniors, we hope to make up for lost time, and participate more in the vital affairs of the school. Robert W. Albers, 17. Forty-one The first thing we did was to blunder into every room, except the one to which we should go, misguided by Seniors, Juniors, and even Sophomores. But never mind, fellow Freshmen, this next term we can laugh at the poor Freshies ourselves. The first event on our social calendar was the Freshmen Reception. It was held at the Annex, which was decorated with autumn leaves, greenery, and crepe parer. The music and floor were perfect, and our good time even more so, even if a good many upper classmen were there. We all gave our hearty thanks to the Mother’s Association who made the dance possible. Several weeks later the Freshmen girls were entertained after school by the upperclass girls. The invitations and programs were of a most peculiar color—egreen! Of course it had nothing to do with us. We spent the time dancing and drinking punch—or what was called punch, but looked very suspiciously like water after the first two dances. Dancing is not our only occupation. The boys, and the girls, too, have been taking a rather large part in the High School’s activities. In the Inter- class meet, we carried off the honors of the day, but several days later, the Governing Board decided that it was too great an honor for the Freshmen to glory in, and gave us only second place. Shortly before the meet, the new Christmas class was welcomed into the High School. We had another Freshmen Reception, to which most of the second-termers came, but very few first termers—they had never experi- enced one before, as we had. Our last social event, was the dance given for the whole High School, at which we took a peep. But there were so many noisy Seniors there, that we all left early. However, we could not bear to be left out of anythine, Thus our Freshmen year closes, and we are Freshmen no longer. but hold the very dignified (?) title of “Sophomores.” We hope that the new Freshmen will follow in our noble foot steps. We leave to them our good example, the title of Freshmen, and best wishes for their first year in the Santa Rosa High School. Dorothy Kellogg, ’18. S Forty-two ECHO THE Forty-three THE ECHO A HIKER’S STORY (Winner of Literary Contest, 1915) eS Y2BOUT three years ago, our “Hikers’ Club” was organized. Jimmy Day was the pride of the club from his very first ap- pearance in the role of a “hiker.” He was a freckle-faced, red-haired youngster, with the best and happiest disposition that was ever given to a fellow. He was always ready for WANG any kind of fun, and no hike was felt to be quite a success, unless Jimmy was along. One rule of the club provided for an annual tramp of considerable length, to some point of special interest. As Jimmy never had proposed a trip, I was greatly surprised when, some two weeks before the date of the Pe pecee departure for the season’s trip, he came bursting into my room, where “Dutch” Bohn and I sat. “Oh, Doc.—I know the very place to go for our hike. Grand scenery, good camping ground, and everything to be desired right there! es do you think of it? Great idea, eh?” But, Infant, you haven’t told us where you expected to go!” spoke up Watch “Didn't 1? Well, sure enough! I meant the Petrified Forest.” Jimmy paused out of breath. There he stood, leaning heavily against the wall, and looking at us as if he expected us to accept his suggestion immediately. “Dutch” finally recovered his equilibriun sufficiently to answer. “Better go see some of the other fellows, Bluey, before the club meeting is held to- morrow night.” At the meeting held at the club rooms the next night, a trip to the Pet- rified Forest was agreed upon. The tramp was uneventful, although Jimmy’s blithe spirits seemed contagious, and every fellow threw all care to the winds, and went in for a genuinely jolly time. Fina ly we reached the { famous Pet- rified Forest where we were to camp out in real “tramp” style, The first few days we lounged around, e: xhibiting an utter lack of energy and spirit. Jimmy alone showed any disposition to wander about. One evening, after an unusually long tramp, he came sauntering back, and said he had planned a surprise for us that evening. Calling two or three members to help him, he gathered enough brushwood for an immense bonfire. When we were gathered around it, Jimmy sud denly appeared with two old Indians. whom he had discovered that afternoon. He seated us before the fire, with the two old Indians in the “lime-light.” Then followed such a series of legends as I had never heard before. The story of the Petrified Forest especially interested us, camping as we were on the border of the Forest itself. This is the story: “In the happy days before the white man came to the Indi an’s country, the most beautiful maiden of the tribes ‘round about was White Flower, the only daughter of Red Feather, chief of his tribe. Her beauty was known from the big ocean to the mountains that the white man calls the Rockies. Forty-four THE ECHO Many yong chieftains came to her father’s wigwam, each seeking the beauti- ful White Flower for his bride. But ‘no warrior is brave enough, and no chief is rich enough, for my White Flower,’ was the thought of the old chief, Red Feather. z “Only one suitor, Chief Swift Wind, found favor in the eyes of the maiden, but their marriage was forbidden by the stern father. “Meeting secretly, one night, the lovers went to the Medicine Woman to seek her advice, and doing as she bade them, they fled into the heart of the big forest. “Great was the wrath of Red Feather, when he discovered his daughter’s flight. Calling together all his warriors, he set out in pursuit of the run- away. “The old man vowed to kill her, but fearing lest his warriors’ great love for the maiden, would lead them to prevent his doing this, he did not make known his plans. At last the girl and her lover were overtaken in the heart of the great forest. Swift Wind fought valiantly for his beautiful bride, but was overcome by the great number of Red Feather’s warriors. When the girl and her lover could offer no further resistance, Red Feather went into his daughter’s wigwam, and there, he killed the beautiful White Flower. “The Great Spirit, looking down on the deeds of mankind, saw the ter- rible crime. That the pitiful story of the maiden might be preserved, he turned the whole of the great forest into stone. And so it stands today, a monument to White Flower and Swift Wind.” Lois Welch, ’15. THE REUNION (An early May morning in Blucher Valley—the year 1885) HE GOLDEN beams of the rising sun darted hither and thither through the wooded slopes and grassy dales, causing the dew drops on blossom and leaf to sparkle and gleam. Aloft in the cloudless sea of blue floated the freshness of spring, perfumed with the odors of flowers and shrubs. Wild ( rose, azalia and Yerba Buena mingled their fragrance with the wild strawberry and balmy pine. Flitting from flower to flower, the gold- dusted bee sipped the sweet nectar to store away for his winter’s food. The distant whisting of the quail, the cooing of doves, the chattering of grey squirrels, the songs of the canary and the linnet, all mingled with the steady tap, tap of a distant wood pecker, hollowing a cavity in the gigantic limb of some ancient oak, where, undisturbed, she could hatch and rear her young. All these gave vent to the stir of life. The road through this valley, one of those early sandy wagon trails from Bloomfield to Sebastopol, over which scarcely a score of people passed a week, was bounded on each side by trees. Oaks, pines and madrones spread forth their branches, as if to catch the sun- beams before they could reach the underbrush of manzanita and hazel. A Forty-five LHW ECO tiny rivulet fed by some hidden spring, wended its way across the road and disappearing in the thick woodland, probably making its way to the Blucher Creek, and thence to the mighty Pacific. Down the road came Jack Monroe, a well-known woodsman of the valley. Over his right shoulder he carried a crosscut saw and an axe: in his left hand he carried a tin pail, containing his noon-day meal. His sunburnt countenance, revealed from beneath his hat, bore the expression of content- ment, while a merry whistle slipped from his lips, and seemed to harmonize with the songs of the linnet and the blackbird. At the rivulet he paused, glanced here and the re at the trees, then made his way to a large oak, and began chopping. The steady chop, chop of the axe, followed by the ring- ing echoes through the woodland never ceased until the tree tottered and fell to the ground with a deafening crash. With deep satisfaction, Monroe gazed upon the oak as a victor would gaze upon his spoils. Wiping the perspiration from his brow, he proceeded to trim the tree. When the sun had climbed to the zenith, he laid the axe aside, took a refreshing draught from the rivulet, washed his hands. and proceeded to eat his luncheon. This done, he stretched out under a shady madrone. The slanting rays of the afternoon sun cast lengthening shadows over the wood- land, when Monroe, with a start, awoke. His head drooped with disappoint- ment. “It was only a dream,” he reflected; “on yadream. Poor Harry! If he were only alive now.” With a sigh, Monroe let his chin rest upon the palm of his hand, while his thoughts wandered back to the little white farm-house where, years before, Harry and he had playec together, back to the little shady brook, where they had fished together, and to the woods where they had hunted. Tears crept down his cheeks as he remembered the morning that his father and Harry went gaily forth to enlist in the Federal Army, while he was obliged to stay at home, because he was too young. How well he re- membered that morning, when the blood-stained corpse of his father was borne home; and the afternoon—when Jacob Greene rode up to the door with the terrible news that broke the mother’s heart, the news that Harry was missing after the battle of Vicksburg. Then had followed that period of anx- ious waiting for news of the brother, and then the final despair which in- duced them to seek a new land. Slowly the sun sank behind the purple ridges to the west. shooting forth its golden shafts, tinging a few fleecy clouds with delicate tints of red and orange. Casting the axe over his shoulder, Monroe slowly wended his way to his cabin. Here he prepared a slight repast, and seated himself before the window, letting his eyes wander as he thought again of his boy- hood days. Gradually the darkness settled over the valley. The tinkle of a distant cow-bell, intermingled with the. hoot of an owl, where the only sounds to break the monotony. The white disc of the full moon slowly made its way from the tree tops and began its journey across the sky. Far down the road Forty-six THK ECHO a moving speck could be seen. Nearer and nearer it came, until at last it assumed the shape of a horse and rider. Before Monroe’s cabin the horseman paused, dismounted, and knocked at the door. The door opened and the sor- rowtful face of Monroe appeared, while he said, “Good evening, stranger.” “Good evening,” replied the rider cheerfully. “Could a wayfarer find shelter here for the night?” ; “Yes—but, I have no barn in which to put the horse.” “Oh, we'll stake him out,” replied the rider. “Come in, stranger, I will light my lamp and get you some supper. I enjoy the darkness, so I seldom use a lamp.” The yellow flame of the light caused the gloom of the bare little room to disappear. As Monroe turned, his gaze fell upon a scar on the man’s forehead. “My God, Harry, is that you?” IMMIGRATION 1 ERHAPS the most important and complicated question con- fronting the American people today is that of immigration. This problem is a movement for which there is no parallel in history. Moreover, it is a problem that will not solve 4 itself. The fact that a restrictive immigration bill has been vetoed by three different Presidents signifies that if 1S Ot an insignificant question. The world is no longer divided into distinct nations, for by the achievement of modern transportation and means of com- munication it has become a neighborhood. Accompanying this develop- ment has come inter-racial jealousy which has manifested itself in numerous ways. The Chinese cry, “China for the Chinese;” the negro, “Africa for the Africans,” and finally, our own people have caught the contagion, and have thundered forth, “America for the Americans.” The spirit of wandering from place to place for the betterment of social and political conditions, ha s always possessed the Aryan people. In all proba- bility the flood of immigrants now coming to America, is but a continuatior of the stream which began nearly five thousand years ago to move towar« rough the annals of history, we find that nations the west. As we trace thr ] idor, and then have crumbled have ascended to the zenith of power and splet The immigrants now pouring into America will make the Americz political and religious co pieces. of tomorrow. Thousands, yea millions, because « he lands and seas of the earth in search of peace, conditions, have traverse -ontentment. The colonists who first settled this liberty, happiness, and ¢ Multitudes who came per- nation were people ambitious and courageous. ished, leaving the “fittest.” Multitudes are coming to our country to share in the material wealth of derlying cause of immi- our great resources, and so we see that today the eration is purely economic, Many of our learned statesmen think that the time is ripe when we should restrict certain classes of people from coming to Forty-seven THE ECHO this country, that America is not yet qualified to accept the responsibility of accommodating unlimited numbers of seekers for advantages, that our great Republic melting pot will not be able to endure a much greater strain for any length of time. If restriction had not been placed on the Chinese, a few years ago, mud hats and bamboo villages would have occupied the beautiful valleys of this state today. There is a vast difference between the immigrant of the past and the immigrant of the present. Those who came to our shores in the past, emi- grated chiefly from northern and western Europe, from England, Germany, or France. These immigrants made desirable citizens, willing to uphold and obey our laws. They scatered to various parts of our nation and aided to its rapid development. But the immigrants of the present come from the southern and eastern parts of Europe. Their customs, their languages are vastly dissimilar from those of the immigrants of the past. They are chiefly the poorer classes of Italians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Slavs, and a few Hindoos, the latter being the most undesirable coming to our shores. Seeking quarters where their like are housed, generally in tenements, or in segregated colonies, they live their own lives. They have their own shops, their own churches. Lhey do not mingle with Americans; they are not interested in public wel- fare. In many cases they do not become citizens. Thus we see that the desire of the modern immigrant is not to become a citizen, but to colonize, and our problem is to Americanize them. And yet the backbone of industry consists of these immigrants. They work in our mines, in our great lumber camps, in the swamps of the south, always willing to accept the hardest tasks. Nearly all that come to our shores are looking for an El Dorado. But, in the end, they deprive our own people of employment—for they can subsist on less, and can therefore work for less. It is true that in the past we have posed as the friends of all races, no matter how down-trodden and despised, and have been r sady to take them when they sought refuge on our shores. But today, we are striving to make the American people are homogenous race. If immigrants coming to this country do not become rapidly assimmilated, t 1ey tend to form impediments. The advancement of civilization depends largely upon individuals that consti- tute the state; the higher the attainments, the stronger the nation. An illiter- acy test, such as was proposed, would in a measure, keep out a majority of the people who could not be easily assimilated, as Servians, South Italians, Greeks, Croatians, Syrians, Bulgarians, Greeks and others in the same cate- gory. It would be too difficult for American influence to overcome the differences of civilization, language, and religion of these people. Let us hope that in the near future our learned statesmen will be able to formulate a restrictive immigration bill, without giving offense to any nation. If such a bill could be passed, the immigrant of the future would come to our shores with a sense of understanding that “America for the Americans” means the highest and best type of civilizatio1 not wish to lower our standard by the deer n, and that we do ading influence of foreigners that will look on with a cold indifference when the Star Spangled Banner is un- furled to the breeze.

We that have claimed so much school spirit must begin to show our worth, not as a united body, but as individuals. Here we have been under the guidance of teahers and parents, but after the eighteenth of June is past, we must begin to depend upon ourselves This is a year of progress, and though the great war is still raging in Europe, our nation is still true to the highest ideals of civilization; but though at seace, we should remain loyal to her, trying to correct her faults, striving always for her betterment, never neglecting our duty, but “semper fidelis.” Classmates, who number sixty and six, let us abide by our motto. It is not one to forget it; is one to live by. “Semper fidelis.” Why was this chosen with so much enthusiasm.

The track men have had every advantage to make a good team, and they have made good use of all their opportunities, for they have put forth a winning team. The team had a heavy schedule to carry out, but they always finshed a winner, or fighting for first honors, as is shown in their record: March 27—N| C. S. of C. I. F., at Palo Alto—s men, 24 points. April 3—C. I. F., at Fresno—3 men, 13 points. April 10—Exposition meet—3 men, II points. April 24—Santa Rosa wins in dual with Ukiah by a majority of 30 points. May 1—S. N. S. League—Santa Rosa wins by majority of 34 points. May 15—N. W. S. C. I. F. League—Santa Rosa wins by majority of 9% points. Captain Russell had a remarkably good season in the hurdles, broad jump and pole vault, scoring points in these events in the large meets, and winning them in the smaller ones. “Boots” also runs a fine lap in the relay. Manager Merritt is always a consistent point winner in the weights, and usually takes the discus. Wayne Weeks has won great honor in the shot put by winning the event in every meet he was entered; he is also a good point winner in the discus. Gnesa’s form in the javelin and pole vault was an im- portant factor in the team’s success, as he ran up a large score in these events. Myers, our sprinter, showed us greater speed then ever before. He cer- tainly did his part. Miller and Baum made many points in the sprints, and ran fine laps in the relay. Covey and McReynolds did creditable work in the half and quarter mile. While Matthews, Hardin and Pressley made the best run- ners in the mile. Eddie Koford came through great by winning the hammer inthe S. N.S. We were all glad to see Eddie get the honor, as he is a hard and willing worker. He also scored points in the hurdles. The track team left a record that will stand for years to come. By win- ning the C. I. F. at Ukiah two more trophy cups were added to our collection. BASKETBALL The Orange and Black was represented this term with one of the best basketball teams in its career. The team had three veterans, Hewitt, Fry and Meyers, while Richards broke in at center, and Matthews, a new man from Vallejo, completed the quintet, with Hattie, Hardin and Pressley taking their terms as substitutes. Mr. Steele had them working hard and in perfect trim before their first contest, which they easily won. They kept up the season at the same pace, winning eleven games to one defeat. The game they lost was won by Tamal- pais Union High on their court which, as it was not inclosed, bothered our boys considerably, causing them to lose by two points. In the C. I. F. League the boys climbed as far as “champs” of Sonoma county, but our one lone defeat kept us from advancing any farther. But in the 5S. N.S. the boys, after winning the championship of Sonoma county again, won the final game from St. Helena, entitling us to the championship Fifty-two THE ECHO of the Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties League. This game was hard- fought from start to finish, though we obtained an early lead and kept it. Captain Hewitt, our star forward, played a most remarkable game, mak- ing the majority of points by his efficient goal shooting. Fry, the other forward, played a good consistent game, and though a little weak on goal shooting, his all-round playing made up. Richards at center played a clever game, he has a good jump, and gen- erally starts the ball rolling the right way. While not a fast player, he is always in the game, putting up a strong fight. Meyers, our sterling little guard, is certainly the speediest that ever repre- sented our colors. Orrie’s long distant goal shooting is another great factor to his success. In a few more years there will be few who will be able to surpass him. Matthews, the other guard, put up a strong game. He guarded well and played a good offensive game. His goal shooting also bears notice. The substitutes, Hattie, Hardin and Pressley will be seen more in the future, they are promising material, and will be seen in action soon.

Much credit is due to Coach Steele for putting out teams like those of our basketball and track. BASEBALL The baseball season this year was not as successful as we had _ pre- dicted. The boys played a loose game, and they lacked all the team work they possessed last year. The squad was very small in training season, which is another reason for its lack of strength. But next year the team will prob- ably be stronger as only two of the present Ine-up will be missing. Due credit should be given to Coach Blosser for his work with the team. Santa Rosa vs. Analy at Sebastopol In our first contest we met defeat. Fry went into the box before he was warmed up, and two runs were registered off his delivery in the first inning. After the fourth inning he held the Analy sluggers helpless. Jewell pitched a good game, striking out 14 batters. Fifty-three THE ECHO Santa Rosa 3—Analy 5. Santa Rosa 15—Healdsburg 4. Santa Rosa 4—Analy 6 Santa Rosa 8—Petaluma 4. Our line-up: Fry, pitcher; Peterson, catcher; Gemetti, first base; Hattie, second base; Maroni, short stop; O’Connor, third base; Colgan, right field; Sullivan, center field; Crist, left field. FOOTBALL The football team, while not doing anything wonderful, showed, that if given a chance could play a good consistent game. Next year there is no reason why the football team should not win a majority of its games. It will be easier to arrange games as Petaluma, and possibly Healdsburg, are going to place teams on the gridiron field. This year we only played two games. In our first game Napa won 13 to 3, but it was a good game, as our boys fought hard. The following week the team journeyed to San Francisco, where they won a hard fought game from Wilmerding, by the score of 10 to o. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Though few in number, those girls that participated in basketball this semester did extremely well. The team consisted of the following mem- bers: Forwards, Alma McDaniels (captain), Alice Koford, (manager) ; cen- ters (touch), Ora Caldwell (side), Agelina Lepori, Hazel Cooper; guards, Ruth Lambert, Barbara Gilman. Though but a few games were played, the girls brought credit to the school. In the championship the girls won by a large score over St. Helena. At Petaluma we were defeated, although the game was very close. The girls’ trip to Sebastopol needs no repetition. Dp b asketball has stood a critical test; the girls that have taken part have been so few in number that it has been difficult to have a good practice. Whether basketball will be a girls’ activity next semester depends upon the life and energy the girls put into it. It is the earnest hope of those interested that from about two hundred and fifty girls, fourteen will be found to support and encourage the girls’ sole athletic activity. A. Woford. McReynolds Fifty-four a Merritt W. Weeks Gnesa Meyers J. Matthews Koford Baum Fifty-five GIRLS’ ORGANIZATION Last term the Senior and Junior girls formed an organization, whose purpose was to encourage self-government by the students, to create more school spirit, and to increase the social affairs of the girls, namely, a number of teas, and the girls’ jinks. Under Miss Moodey’s guidance the girls have beautified the study hall by providing ferns and flowers, kept the whole building free from defacement, and assisted in the study hall, taking roll, etc. The teas have proved a success and the lectures interesting. Miss Keech talked on “How to Dress,” and Miss Carpenter on “Being a Hostess.” Then the Girls’ Jinks!) On Saturday night, March 13th, the girls of all four classes gathered in the Annex “gym,” truly “dolled up.” That was the most wonderful fair Sonoma county ever had. There were side shows and a pavilion for dancing; for a country fair is never a success without a nickel dance. People from Japan, Egypt, Siam, Turkey, South Africa and Hawaii turned out to view the fair, besides cowboys, city folk, and simple country rustics. The organization officers for last term were: President, Isabella Tod; Vice-President, Dorothy Percy; Directors, Dorothy Wright and Pauline Stahl. The present officers are: President, Isabella Tod; Vice-President, Madge Wheeler; Secretary, Pauline Stahl; Directors, Viola Graham and Wilma Hocker. DEBATING NOTES The debating work opened with tryouts for the team, the result giving places to Leo Sullivan, Grace Titus, Alice Koford and James Stanislawsky, alternative. Our first S. N. S. Debate was held here, November 30, with Analy Union High, on the question: “Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years, and be ineligible for re-electeion.” As the judges were unable to render a decision, a second debate was held at Analy on the question: “Resolved, That the United States should increase her army and navy.” Santa Rosa was victorious, thus placing for the semi- finals with the Sonoma Valley Union High. On February 26 Napa High met our team in the first debate of the Berke- Fifty-six PHE. ECO ley Interscholastic League, on the subject: “Resolved, That the United States should adopt at the close of the European war, a policy of gradual disarmment with two conditions, (1) that the disarmament take place within thirty years, (2) that a sufficient police force be maintained.” Napa won the decision. The closest contest of the year was held here with Sonoma High School, March 19, Sonoma narrowly winning b y their team work. The local de- bators were highly commended by the judges for their individual work. The question was: “Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned.” This closed the league work for the year. The governing board awarded Leo Sullivan a bronze “S” for taking part in two league debates. The medal was well deserved, as Mr. Sullivan has done the most efficient work of the team, being the main support, and the rebuttal man of the home team. On June 4, the cup debate was held on the question: “Resolved, That the cities of California adopt a commission form of government. The con- testors were Leo Sullivan, Lois Welch, Riley McCulloch and Ross Pool. The debate was for individual work. Mr. Sullivan, who ranked highest, had his name engraved on the debating cup, left to us by the class of 1902. HIGH SCHOOL BAND Few in the High School realize the musical activity here, and the pro- eress that is being made among the musically inclined, just through a little systematic team work, directed by Mr. Roy Blosser. lready the band has played several times before the student body, and also at the Friday evening entertainments of the social center, where it has given selections, both popular and classical. A band is essential to a High School, since by it, enthusiasm can always be kept at fever heat. By the band, the contenders on the field, or track are encouraged, and their chances for victory increased. Our band, both as a student organization and as a band, is entitled to the hearty and undivided support of every student in the school. It can only be maintained by co- operation, and if the support should be withdrawn the band would be forced to suspend. The members of the band are: Cornets—E. Morrison, J. Coniglia, M. Henry, G. Trosper, J. Forgett, E. Hoffman, E. Leggit. Alto—A. Albera. Paritone—V. Smith. Trombones—W. Landis, E. Nielson. Bass—D. Hodg- son. Drums—D. Lucas, L. Kurlander. Piccolo—L. Lindsay. Flute—Talbot. GOVERNING BOARD The past term of the Governing Board should be recognized as unusual, owing to the fact that there was only one meeting at which at least a quorum did not attend, and we cannot lay it to our strenuous fights, as those seem Fifty-seven PHE BCH? to have been burried in the past of last term. Only at the first of the term did and discussion arise, but that soon disappeared. Again, we should recognize this term’s work exceptional considering under what difficulties we were forced to labor at times. This matter is in regard to the many resignations that were submitted. Many of these resulted from prejudices, others from lack of school interest; some owing to other work or offices. The following is a list of the resignations accepted: That of C. Peterson from position of yell leader; Emma Fisk from position of sixth term representative; Hazel Ramage from position of second vice-president; L. Sullivan from position of baseball manager; M. Gemetti from position of baseball manager. The Governing Board has been under a heavy expense this term, par- ticularly in support of our track team. Below is a list of the expenditures for this term: January 27 April 1 Engraving Expense of baseball $ 6.00 lenge cup . = = : I Expense of baseball 10.00 Engraving S - Expense of coach to Expenses of debating team 5.

Also two entertainments for our interest were held; one for the benefit of the student body and the other for the benefit of the school paper. During the first part of the term a per- al formance of the “Wreck of the Hesperus,” by Longfellow, followed by some folk dancing and two dramatic skits rendered by the dramatic class was eiven, the proceeds of which went into the Student Body treasury. On May ee ee = : ; d 2 27th “Polished Pebbles,” an operetta, was given to raise money for the final Echo. Both events proved fairly successful. The officers for the fall term were: President—C. Peterson. First Vice-President—E. Crist. Second Vice-President—l. Todd. Secretary—J. Matthews. Treasurer—M. A. Crane. The following officers held office during the spring term: President—L. Sullivan. First Vice-President—A. Farnlof. Second Vice-President—I. Todd. Secretary—H. Luce. Treasurer—M. A. Crane. ALUMNI NOTES It is with regret that no more Alumni Notes could be written, but the organization is so large and so scattered that it was almost impossible to get a larger list. The following from the June “14 class are attending the University of California: Freyman Coleman, Jessie Lingenfelter, Juliet Johnson, E. G, Sewell, Esther Sinclair, Lavenia Snee, Elizabeth Talbot, Mildred Thomp- son, Clarendon Anderson, °13; Raegen Talbot, 13; Frances Ahl, 13; Viola Lockhart, ’13; Sterling Coulter, ’13. Those who are attending the Stanford University are: Mildred Turner, Lawrence Chapman and Charles Chapman. Margaret Hatch, ’14, has taken up library work at Sacramento. Of the notes from the ’14 class, the saddest one to record is the death of Esther Smith. It seemed most untimely that she should answer “adsum” to the Great Master. Margaret Brown, last year’s editor, was successful in passing the teach- ers’ examinations just after graduation, and she is now teaching in Bennett Valley. Many of the girls are studying at the Normals. At San Jose: Merle Goodfellow, Elaine Norton, Esther Packwood, Bernice Packwood, Irene Campbell, Emily Rued, Elsie Keller, Mildred Wadsworth. At San Fran- cisco: Lola Boyes, Alva Makee. Fifty-nine THE ECHO A note of interest is the marriage of Ophelia Caldwell, ‘11, and Law- rence Chapman, ’14. Esther Yeager is training for a nurse at Fabiola hospital. Lester Smith is at the affiliated Colleges study ing to become a dentist. Clara King and Clara Churchill are at the Lux Domestic Science Normal in San Francisco. llison and Ruth Dickson, 13, will graduate from the Chico Normal this June. Gladys Gilman, 13, is training for a nurse at Lane’s Hospital. Dagney Jewell, 13, is taking special work at St. Luke’s Hospital. This spring Beryl LeBaron was graduated from a domestic school in Boston. Gladys Carithers is another girl from the ‘13 class who has taken up dramatic work. She has taken work at Los Angeles. Barbara Dows, from the ’13 class is working at Hosmer’s. Alfred Shelton, ’12, who has been following up the study of birds and animals has accepted a chair at the University of Oregon.
