Time: The merry month of May, ten years hence—1920. Characters: Two wealthy tourists of the class of 1916—Emma Fisk and Mona Kelley—A petite waitress also of ’16— Isabella Schank. Emma: How beautiful and how restful it is here in Japan. Mona: Yes indeed, but really our walk this afternoon has wearied me greatly. Emma. Then let us have some refreshing Japanese tea (summons waitress ). Enter waitress: May I serve you ladies tea? Mona: Why Isabella Schank! You old darling! How do you happen to be in Japan? Emma: This is the most delightful surprise of all the surprises Japan has brought us. (kisses her) Sit down and tell us everything about yourself. Isabella: My story is a long one. I won't weary you with its details, but after all kinds of misfortune, I have been reduced to waiting on the guests here in this little tea garden. I am really happy here, though. It is so pretty. But tell me about your adventures. Oh, but it seems so good to see you dear old “16ers” again. I wonder where all the others are. I hear from Donna Lambert youngest son and the last I heard, Johm had settled a couple of millions on her in appreciation of her services. Mona: How lovely! Did you hear about Fern Huckaby? Remember how she used to hang out of the study hall windows? It has no more attraction for Ferne now. She has become a near relative of a once famous Santa Rosa athlete. But why “Guy” Ferne? Emma: And Harry Luce has become famous as a female impersonator on the Rose Vodvil circuit. Isabella: He was always clever on the stage, wasn’t he? John Linebaugh is fi'l’ e@ professor Steele’s shoes. He, too, will soon have a Chevrolet. Mona: Good for Joh! Did you know that Gladys Hawley is teaching “Model Housewifery” in the Milpitas kindergarden? She has proven herself very effic’ent, but has never had the extreme pleasure of being a model housewife herself. Emma. Too bad! By the way, | met Roy Roberts in Ireland. He is a traveling lecturer and at the time was vainly attempting to kiss the Blarney Stone. He lectures on the evils of Lady Nicotine, especially its stunting ettects. Mona: Dale Hollingsworth is also traveling. He is giving illustrated lectures on “How To Catch Chickens.” Emma: How about our illustrious class president ? Isabella: Leo Sullivan? Why he has long since abondoned his hopes of becoming star twirler and bench warmer of the Sebastopol Apple Growers League. He is now running a “three shots at the nigger baby” concession with the Robert Whiting Amusement Company. He is utilizing his wonderful dehatine tone by doing his own spieling. It is said that his $20,000 arm is on the blink and that now he is using the other one. Mona: That reminds me. Walter Hefty is the trainer of Jess Williard i los Angeles. He is getting Jess in shape for his coming match with Homer McReynolds. Isabella: | wonder where Robert O'Connor is? THE ECHO Emma. He was the Beau Brummel of El Verano, but sad to say, one night he forgot himself, while doing the Virginia reel at the Sonoma Grange, long enough to step under the mistletoe. Poor “ Doc” was killed in the rush. Mona: How terrible a tragedy almost like his was that of Myrtle Reed. Sh2 and Frank Reno perished doing the Fox Trot. Isabella: How full of tragedies, our class history is. I guess you all heard that poor dear little Wilma Hocker got in front of a mirror, forgot to move, and starved to death. Emma: Oh, that is dreadful. Let’s talk of some one who has been happy. Isabella: Then we may as well talk of Mae Hodgson. She is the happiest girl of the graduating class. She is now living in a darling bungalow at Stony Point and says that she is very fond of married life. Mona: That’s fine; and her chum, Gladys Pond is also happy. You re- member how very fond of society she was? Now she has been made associate member of the “Society of Laundresses.” And Salem! We never dreamed there was such a grat man among us while we were at school. He is now drawing down a nice income by posing in front of a mirror and sketching his own profile and selling the pictures on postal cards. Isabella: I heard that Tom Miller had risen to the eminent position of manufacturing “wienies” for Senior picnics. He has a Ford truck and positively guarantees all orders delivered promptly. Emma: There is a lot of fame in our class. As I turned down For-Get- Me-Not alley in Cotati, I saw an electric sign, “Sanitary Kissing”. Howard Fry is sole proprietor and is acknowledged to be the most famous authority on this subject. He owes his carrer to the inspiration received at a high school dance and a sprig of misletoe. Mona: When I was traveling in Switzerland, I found Marion Monroe, a guide over the Alps. He is employed by the St. Bernard monks. The reason he is so valuable in this capacity, is because it is not necessary for him to wear snow shoes. Isabell: Talking of mountains; poor Joe Maddux. Some time after he got his wooden leg, his Fulton girl went back on him and now he occupies a lonely cabin on the summit of Mt. Jackson. Mona: Isn't that near Fulton? You know Ruth Miller resided in Fulton for twenty years, and then suffered a worse fate and moved to Sebastopol. mma: Gladys Sherman is row head nurse on the war zone and her conquests among the wounded are startling. Mona: What made you think of war? Kmma: Why I happened to think of “wounded” not “war”. You know Krnest Richards has now discarded his crutches used after his accident and he is now bandaging his head as the result of a forceful idea, that struck him. Isabella: What a shame. I always thought he nad an idea that he was going to be a printer. Emma: Yes, that was the fatal idea. Mona: Hilda Kintzi is editor of the “War Cry” now. She is the most noted journalist of the Salvation Army. It may be of interest to add that she has an office especially constructed for her by Elgy McIntosh, whose business it is to construct special offices for special people. Elgy is a fine architect. Emma: I discovered Vernon McGough in the jungles of Africa demon- strating to the natives the efficiency of his new hair dyes. He dyes the hair 2] Pi GO and paints the bald spots. One flaw in the dye which is yet to be overcome, is that it is not water-proof. Isabella: Speaking of demonstrating to natives, Marie Dowd is here in Japan and calmly sits in the show window of the “Anti-Fat Trust” firm and demonstrates the excellent results of “Walche’s Anti-Fat Remedy.” Mona: Winifred Burke is employed in some thing of the same nature. She is a modeline for Magnin’s exclusive women’s department. She has greatly changed her appearance by the use of peroxide and high heeled shoes. Emma: Elva Spotswood had a special 90 horse-power truck built in which she endeavors to carry about some of her numerous diplomas. She is constantly on the go, taking college degrees. Mona: How about those that stayed in the home town? I have kept track of some of them. Emma : Bernadette Hehir, for one, stayed in Santa Rosa. She is employed as window washer for the many windows of the Fourth street filling station of the Standard Oil Company. Isabella: And Alma Shane, [ heard, is now the ‘Social Center Vampire,” She is still pursuing the younger generation. When last seen she was escorting one of her old classmate’s children from the Friday night dansant. Emma: Frances Fry is chief clerk at Woolworth’s and is now receiving the highest salary paid there, $3.98 per annum, and Frances Pannell is entertaining Sunday night visitors at the Bernardi Hotel with her ‘$10,000 a night” voice. Mona: Elsie Daut has succeeded Annette Kellerman and does fancy diving in a glass tank in front of the Elite Theater. The Elite is a rgular show now. Isabella: Mrs. Selma Alexander Harris has become a rival of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney . She is using one of her own chilren as a model. Emma: Theodore Matthew is now president of the Social Center, and has relieved Mrs. Talbot and her son of their duties as floor managers. He is strictly carrying out their policy regarding the modern dances. However, in order to attract larger crowds, the square dances and the Virginia Reel have been revived. Mona: Do you know that Mabel Lehn has succeeded Miss Moodey as dean of old S. R. H. S.? She has a very able assistant in William Marshall.. Emma: Did you know Marjorie Ellis married her employer and is now a leading society belie in Graton’s exclusive set? You know oe was a typist for the management of the S. R. Coffee Club. Mona: And Gertrude Gates is living very near Graton too. She’s at Forestville now—it was very romantic. She met a taxi driver on the Sebastopol road—they eloped to Forestville and were married. Isabella: Edna Peter has taken up her life’s vocation of raising orange blossoms. Do you know where Lucy Brewer is? Moan: Oh yes! She lived up to her name and moved out of the state when California went dry. Emma: Wasn't that fine about Dorothy Wright Mona: I didn’t hear about it. What was it? Emma: Why she has attained great notoriety as a painter, having reached the highest pinnacle of success, decorating barber poles for the Mills Station barber, Catherine Crane. Isabella: I didn’t know that Catherine was at Mills Station. That is almost as bad as Windsor. THE ECHO Mona: Speaking of Windsor, reminds me that I was passing through the suburbs of that town and saw Mervyn Burke and Edith Coffey leaning over a pig-stye, arguing as to which should receive the best half of the old Peterson ranch. Both have been bereaved, you know. Isabell: I heard Anna Fisk has lately become a prominent member of the Asti Colony. Emma: Yes, that’s right, and Helen Finley became an extremely success- ful author. Perhaps her most widely known production is the “Life and Works of Councilman Pressley”. Mona: Elsa Milne is a captain of the steamer Gold, which carries frieght on the Petaluma river and William Heitsmith is employed as deck washer. Emma: Josie Watson is now chief attraction of the “Get-em-quick” Mat- rimonial Bureau. It might be well to add that she is highly successful in her chosen vocation. Isabella: I have been counting the names off on my fingers. That’s everybody now isn’t it? Emma: No we have forgotten Freddie Hatch. I wonder where he is? Mona: Poor Freddie! Oh girls, I can hardly tell it, it is tragic. But— but—he was slain by a bartender when rushing for the free lunch. (all burst into tears ) Curtain Anna lisk, Catharine Crane, Gladys Sherman, Fred Hatch, Leo Sullivan, Tom Miller, 23 THe ECHO LAST WILL AND T Ses OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1916. We, the Class of 1916, of the Santa Rosa High School, being in perfect health, and brilliant mind and understanding, and considering the eee of gradnation and the uncertainty of life thereafter, and to the end that we may be better prepared to leave whenever it shall please the Faculty to se ond us forth, do therefore make and declare this our last will and testament, the manner following: IT, Mervyn Burke, do give and bequeath Ruby Peterson to the care of Amer- igo Demio, hoping that he may keep her safely until she becomes of age, when I promise to return and relieve him of the burden.

Proud of my ereet carriage I, Will Heitsmith, sorrowfully leave said object of pride to Dwight Barnett. I also leave to him my eraze for carrying home as few books as possible. I, Gladys Hawley, leave my slow and stately walk to Vera Mehring, thinking that it may aia her in making quick time home some day when her ‘‘Univer- sal Car’’ goes on a strike.

I, Robert Whiting, feeling the importance of being the last individual of this illustrious class to set forth in this document words of comfort, and such instructions as seemed necessary to end with due emphasis our careers in this institution of learning, will attempt to overcome my inspiration to semonize upon the propriety of the occasion, and try to content my hearers with a sin-- gle reminder of my abilty as a linguist as exhibited during my short attend- ance at this school. Those who may have had the pleasurable experience of hearing any of my extemporaneous utterances will agree that it will not be necessary at this time for me to leave any thing else as a memento of me. As a class, we solemnly bequeath the following: To the next Senior Class we sadly leave our back seats in the Study Hall, with a few special privileges, one of which might be mentioned as frequent warnings from the “ Mistress of the Hall’’ to cease all communications. To the Sophomores, we leave the privilege of entertaining the next Senior Class. To the Freshman Class, the objeet of much joke on the part of former graduatng classes, we have decided to be real generous and leave the High School, and any little thing that might be connected with it. We are extremely sorrowful that we have nothing more to leave, but hope it will bring a small measure of content at any rate. To the Faculty, especially Miss O’Meara, we give our sincerest thanks for the short lessons which they have unflinchingly given us in our course of work, at the Santa Rosa High School, which we were sasily able to master with 28 THE ECHO twelve houre of study. You may be sure that we shall carry the memories of our hours of study through future years. As to all the rest, residue, and remainder of our estate, real, personal or mix- ed, of whatever nature or kind, that has not been ineluded in the will, where- soever situate at the time of our graduation; we do hereby give, devise and bequeath to Mr. Montgomery, to do with as he sees fit. Having thus set down the distribution of our property, we herby declare that if any condition is not complied with by any of the beneficiaries, the prop- erty will be taken from them and presented to the County Farm. And lastly, we do make, constitute and appoint the School Board of Santa Rosa to be the executors of this our last will and testament, hereby revok- ing all former wills and testaments by us at any time heretofore made, and de- elaring this to be our last will and testament.

Spreading brauches of a massive eatalpa and a beautiful magnolia tree, with a green velvety jawn, and a back eround of shrubs and trees affording a most wonderful setting for the play. Reflected lights concealed among the foliage of the trees added materially to the seenie effects. The stage setting was plan- ned and designed by Miss Abeel, and as on many previous oceasions, it brought forth much praise for our Art instuctor. The dainty and beautiful costumes were made by the Mothers’ Association, the Senior girls, and the students of the Sewing classes, under the able instruction of Miss Carpenter, who gave un- tiringly of her time and labor to assist in making the play a success. Carefully trained by Miss Maddux, the dainty dancing fairies and elves ret}ected much credit to their instructor and to themselves. The Musical section of the production was directed by Mr. Maile and was sung by a selected chorus of Senior girls. The Cast was coached by Miss Moodey and Mrs. Barret, and unlimited ered- it is due them for the manner in which the production was given. Fred Hatch, proved himself a very capable and efficient business manager, and very ereditably carried out the business end of the play. It was with the financial assistance of the Board of Education that bleachers were constructed for the accomodation of the audience. The Seniors are great- ly indebted to the Board for its willing and helpful assistance. PLOT There existed in the city of Athens, a law whereby a daughter could be com- peled to marry the man of her father’s choice. If she refused, the parent could, by the law have his child put to death. Egeus, a citizen of Athens, one day appeared before the reigning duke, The- seus, accompanied by his daughter, Hermia, her lover, Lysander, and Demetri- us, the man of Hyeus’s choice, whom he wished Hermia to marry. HEgeus beg- ged the duke that the law be used against his daughter because she refus- ed to marry Demetrius. Theseus, who in a very few days was to be married to Hippilyta, the queen of the Amazons, whom he loved very dearly, was not moved by the entreaties of Hermia, and it was to no avail that the fair maid told of her friend Helena’s love for Demetrius and of her own love for Lysander and her hatred for Deme- trius, the man of her father’s choice. Theseus’s decision was that Hermia should have four days in which to consider whether she prefered death or mar- riage to Demetrius The duke’s audience then dispersed. Hermia and Lysander tarried behind and resolved to flee from Athens and THE ECHO go to the home of Lysander’s aunt. Here the Athenian law could not reach them and here they could be married without prevention. But Hermia fool- ishly confided in her friend Helena, who in turn conveyed the news to Deme- trius. When Demetrius heard of the flight of Hermia and Lysander, he resolved to follow them; and Helena, loving Demerius to destraction, pursued him into woods. A group of mechanies, who worked in Athens, had met in the woods a short distance from the city, for the purpose of discussing the play, ‘‘Pyramus and Thisbe,’’ which they intended to act before Duke Thesens at his wedding. Their parts were all assigned, and they left to return later for a general re- hearsal. In the meantime, Oberon and Ttitania, the king and queen of the fairies, had had a very serious quarrel over a little Indian boy who was greatly desired by Oberon as a henchman, but with whom Titania refused to part. Oberon was determined to secure the boy, and summoned his messenger, Puck, and had him obtain a little purple flower which, when laid on sleeping eyelids, would make “‘or man or woman madly dote upon the first live creature that it saw.’’ Oberon had resolved to place the juice of the flower upon the Titania’s eyes while she was sleeping and when she awakened she would become madly in love with the first live creature that she saw. When Titania was under the spell of this char m, Oberon intended to obtain the boy. The fairy king overheard Helena and Demetrius quarrel and quickly sum- moned his messenger, whom he bade to touch the Athenian’s eyes with the love juice, so that when he awakened he would dearly love sad Helena. But alas, Puck mistook Lysander for Demetrius, and when Lysander awakened he first saw Helena, and at once became madly in love with her, pursuing her. Hermia, on awakening, discovered that Lysander was gone, and set out in search of him. During that scene, Titania was sleeping upon her flowery bank and had had the love juice placed on her eyes by jealous Oberon. While she was still sleeping the mechanics met in the woods, and began a reharsal of their play, “The Most Lamentable Comedy and Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe.’’ Puck contrived to place an ass’s head on the shoulders of Nick Bottom, who had the role of Pyramus, and Bottom’s fellow friends all became frightened, and fled back to Athens. ‘‘When in that moment, so it came to pass, Titania waked and straightway loved an ass.’’ The remainder of the plot revealed the trials of Hermia and Helena, and the two lovers, Lysander and Demetrius. Demetrius had had the charm placed upon his eyes, and was now very much in love with Helena. Thus the two lovers both proceeded to woo Helena, who believed that her friend Hermia, and the two mei had conspired to mock her, while Hermia accused Helena of stealing Lysander’s love. The quarrel ended by Lysander and Demetrius de- parting to seek a place where they might fight a duel for the hand of Helena. 33 THE ECHO Puck, at the eommand of Oberon overcast the night and confounded the four Athenians as to their wherabouts, and then contrived to lead them to a place where they might rest near each other. W hile they were sleeping the charm was removed from Lysander’s eyes. During the time the lovers were sleeping, Titania was relieved from the charm by Oberon, and the two fairy rulers became reconciled. When the morning dawned the lovers awakened, found out thei: crue lovers and purposed to be married the next day at the nuptial hour of Duke Thesens and Hyppolita. At the Duke’s wedding the mechanies presented their ‘‘ Most Lamentable Comedy.’’ The fairy king and queen, accompanied by their attendants, bles- sed the home of Duke Theseus and celebrated the approaching nuptials with sport and revelry throughout their fairy kingdoms. Cast of Charaecter—In the order of their Appearance Theseus, Duke of Athens, Merton Meeker Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons Elgy McIntosh Philostrate, Master of the Revels to Theseus Theodore Matthew Egeus, Father to Hermia, Amandus Kistler Hermia, Daughter to Egeus, Edith Coffey Lysander, in love with Hernia, Joe Maddux Demetrius, in love with Hermia, Harry Luce Helena, in love with Demetrius, Dorothy Wright Quince, a Carpenter, Gilbert Trosper Snug, a Joiner, Ernest Richards Bottom, a Weaver, Roy Roberts Flute, a Bellows mender, Salem Pohlmann Snout, a Tinker, Marion Monroe Starveling, a Tailor, Orville, Lambert Puck, or Robin Goodfellow, Alma Shane Oberon, King of the Fairies, Anna Fisk Titania, Queen of the Fairies, Gladys Sherman Fairy attendants to Titania Peas-Blossom Elsie Daut Mustard-Seed, Catharine Crane Cob-Web Elliot Smith Moth Mabel Lehn Elves Who Attended upon Oberon: Annabel Morrow, Edith Burtchaell, Claire Sullivan, iU.cna Wilson, Catherin Pressley, De Ette Winter, Mabel Han- son, Grace Hodgkinson, Mildred Harris, Matilda Haas.

THE ECHO Dancing Fairies: I rances ry, Bernadette Hehir, Fern Huckabay, Mae Hodgson, Wiln:a Hocker, Ruth Miller, Gladys Pond, Edna Peter, Myrtle Read. Gentlemen oi the Court: Howard Fry, William Heitsmith, Vernon MeGough, Tom Miller, Robert O’Conner, Frank Reno, Leo Sullivan, Robert Whiting. Merton Meeker, as Duke Theseus, indeed, fulfilled all expectations and prov- ed himself a most gallant nobleman, and a most dutiful lover. Elgy McIntosh, who played opposite Merton Meeker as the Amazon queen, portrayed that difficult character with ability and skill. As Philostrate, the master of the revels to Theseus, Theodore Matthew, sery- ed the duke very faithfully and carried his part with much eredit through his scenes. That cruel and hard-hearted father, Egeus, who sought to force his daughter Hermia, to wed Demetrius, was well played by Amandus Kistler. idith Coffey, ar fair Hermia, the daughter of Egeus, delightfully filled all expectations and heaped laurels upon herself by her clever portrayal of that character. Joe Maddux, playing opposite Hermia, as Lysander, earried his part all through the play with quick, keen intelligence which added much to the at- tractiveness of the production. Demetrius, Harry Luce, the seorful lover of Helena, proved himself very much at home on the stage and by his quick and skillful action caused much favorable comment to be cast toward him. Dorothy Wright, as Helena, vainly in love with Demetrius, won much praise and applause from the audienee. She earried her part admirably and delight- ed all with her interpretation of the character. Quinee, Snug, Flute, Snuot, Starveling and Bottom, as we know them, Gilbert Trosper, Ernest Kichards, Salem Pohlman, Marion Monroe, Orville Lambert and Roy Roberts, comprised the comedy of the play. Needless to say, they did very well, and at their production of ‘‘Pyramus and Thisbe,’’ Bottom as Pyramus, and Flute as Thisbe, many were surprised to hear the passionate pleadings of Roy Roberts to his lady love, Salem Pohlman. And more were they surprised to hear such a delicate girlish voice issuing from Salem, Bot- tom, also carried his part splendidly in the complication issuing, from the pranks of Puck, and the fond love of Titania. That merry wonder of the night, Puek, was very capably played by Alma Shane. Her witty pranks and sayings endeared her to the audience and it is needless to add that she earried her role very cleverly. Anna Fisk, or Gheron, the king of the fairies, indeed, excelled all expecta- tions, by her splendid portrayal of that character. She was a jealous, but at the same time, a inost lovable husband and was an extremely clever master for the wily Puck. Gladys Sherman played Titania, and no wonder Oberon loved his little queen for Gladys was the daintiest, sweetest and most graceful actress imaginable, “ ct THE ECHO and she played with vivid personality and keen interpretation. The fairy attendants to the queen, Mustard-Seed, Peas-Blossom, Cob-Web, and Moth, or Catharine Crane, Elsie Daut, Elliott Smith, and Mable Lehn very eracetully and charmingly served their fairy queen. The elves attending Oberon, the fairies attending Titania, and the delightful singing and daneing fairies, added much charm and splendor to the play, which without their aid would not have attained the success it did. K 4 y 7 O 4 y MM � (ee aa dune: The first three years of our high school life has passed! It seems almost incredible that next fall we shall be obliged to play the part of the dignified Seniors. But in this short term we have been equipping ourselves to fill that office, and now feel perfectly capable of doing it. However, I do not mean to imply that we have spent that time with our noses in our books, indeed no! We have taken our part in athletics, in social affairs and, in fact, everything in which the school was represented. Our Junior term began by electing Frederick Kellogg, president; Frances Payne, vice-president ; Morton Farwell, secretary and treasurer and George Mar- vin, representative. During that term the Seniors delightfully entertained us at a dancing party given at the Annex, at which a clever performance and delightful supper were provided for us. The Seniors, indeed, proved to be royal hosts! This term’s election resulted with Orrie Myers being chosen as president ; I‘rances Payne, vice-president; Evelyn Laughlin, secretary and treasurer, and Edward McDowell as our class representa‘ive. Cur class has certainly had a jolly term and all their activities have been well attended. First of all we planned a picnic which proved to be a great success. The class left town in the evening and journeyed to a delightful place on the Santa Rosa creek. The high school quartet had brought their banjos, mandolins and ukeleles along so that plus wienies, buns, and coffee and a huge bon-fire was all that was needed to make the time pass all too quickly. In athletics our class has been far ahead of all. In the first place we won the Interclass meet and left the Seniors and Sophmores far behind. We, Juniors, havine a narertil feeling for the Freshmen, will refrain from mentioning their place in the meet. But, indeed we are truly proud of our representatives in the track and basketball teams. To Wayne Weeks we owe much towards our victories. Not only at home has he won game, but in southern California has he won more laurels for himself and the school. When the C. I. Ee field meet was here the Juniors athletes were mainly responsible for the victory. Nothing like ‘‘tooting your own horn” you know! ; Our final social gathering was our farewell to the Seniors. In return for the hospitality News to us, we decorated the Auditorium of the Annex most artist'cally with greenery and flowers. In response to the invitations sent by the It-iors to the Seniors there was a large number present, and dancing, games But as we are a very modest class and refreshments were all heartily enjoyed. we'll let the Seniors tell you more of the details. ; However, taken all in all, we Juniors pride ourselves on having the best all looking forward to the wonderful event, class in school; and though we are we shall a be proud ana happy to which occurs a year from this month, spend another glorious year in our dear old S. R. H. 37 In the year of our Lord, 1915, the inhabitants of Serubburg migrated to Soph- omoreville, whieh had just been vacated by the present inhabitants of Junior- town. On the day of their migration, one could see many Serubs journeying toward Sophomoreville with their bags and baggage, consisting of candy and books, under their arms. Upon their arrival in their new village they f und the homes, or ‘‘desks’’ as they are called in thep eculiar dialect of the communty, badly in need of eclean- ing. The new villagers immediately set to work, and it was heart-breaking to see the late Sophomores’ forgotten treasures, such as sticky ‘‘Queen Ann’”’ papers, and pine-nut shells thrown into the waste-basket. The new Sophomoreites decided to elect a president and a representative to th ‘‘pow-wows,’’ which are held by the four neighboring towns, to talk over the genera! welfare and latest gossip of the community. Addison Todd was elected president, and Amerigo Demeo, as our ‘‘pow-wow”’ representative. The Sophomoreites are famed for being very intellectual and wise, so they now settled down to the work of trying to solve such problems of world-wide fame as ‘‘Why two sides of a right-handed triangle equals the left side of a round angle’’ ‘‘Who wrote a ‘Mid-Summer Night’s Dream?’ ’’ ete., ete. The townspeople sent many of their number to represent them at the com- munity meetings, in athleties, music and dramaties. Often on a nice Summer’s night, the Sophomoreites would hitch up thir old Dobbins to their rick- ety buekboards and journey in to the barn danees, quilting bees and corn- huskings. At the beginning of the new year, a number of Serubs from Scrubburg, hear- ing of the great advantage that could be gained by residing in Sophomoreville, packed their carpet-bags and boarded the Ford ’bus that to Sophomoreville. When they arrived, they elected Rowena Emery as president and James Sea- well as ‘‘pow-wow’’ representative. About this time the first settlers also decided to cleet new officers. Kdwin Anderson for vresident, and Susie Marnell as repersentative, vere their choice. In June, the Sophomoreites, hearing that Juniorites intended to move to Sen- iority, decided to ove to Juniortown. Uf within the next vear, you should visit that community you will find the inhabitants of Juniortown wide-awake trying their best to help make their community the best in the scare. and trying their hest to help make their community the best in the state. 38 They eall us freshmen and Freshmen are what we are, end although the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors have taken much part in the affairs of the school during the past year, still we haven’t been left out altogether. The first event on our social calendar was the Freshmen Reception in which we were welcomed into the High School. Surely there will never be another like it! The auditorium of the Annex was beautifully decorated with vines arranged artistically in baskets and hung in different parts of the hall. The The musie and floor were perfect, and since interesting games were arranged for those who did not eare to take part in the dancing, everyone who attended had a dandy time. You may be sure that we all gave our heartiest thanks to the Mothers, Club, who had arranged this Reception. A little later the Upper Class Girls’ Organization entertained the Freshman Girls after school. The programs were of a most inappropriate color—green ! As you are aware, there isn’t the slightest relationship existing between us and green. But the eolor of the programs was not the only peculiar thing about them. They were cut out as baby bottles and guaranteed to hold eight ounces. However, in spite of these little minor details, we spent a delightful time in games and dancing, and afterward in eating ice eream cones. It is great to be a Freshman, I ean tell you! However, dancing is not our only occupation. We, Freshman, endeavored to carry off the honors in the Inter-class Meet, but some way the Juniors got a- head of us. We didn’t understand it in the least. Shortly before the Meet, the new Freshman class, who had entered High School at Christnias was weleomed. The Annex was prettily decorated and every thing was done to give them a royal welcome. Our last event of the social ealander was a dance given for all the students of the High Sehoul. Of course, we Freshmen were promptly on the spot, for we eould not bear to miss any thing. Thus our year as ‘‘Freshies’’ closes, and with the title of Sophmores falling upon our shoulders, we look back over the past year and realize that the best wish we can give to the new Freshmen is that they follow in our illustrious footsteps, taking us as their model in all things. But whether or not they do, we leave our good wishes, and offer grecting and good will io those who will take our places as the Freshmen of Santa Rosa High School. 39 JACK LONDON Jack London, the great novelist, owns a large ranch in the hills above Glen Ellen, in Sonoma County. On this ranch are vineyards, orchards and grain fields. He raises thoroughbred horses, cattle and pigs. Although Mr. London decided to remodel an old winery that was on his ranch, and live this ranch. The writer spends his mornings in writing, and in the afternoon, he delights in riding and driving around the country. Until several years ago Mr. London, when staying at the ranch, had always lived in a small cottage, intending to move to his new house, ‘‘London Cas- tle,’’ as soon as it was finished. But the beautiful new home was burnt, so Mr. London decided to remodelanol d winery which was on his ranch, and live with fur rugs and Japanese matting. Beautiful pictures and murderous look- ing spears and shields cover the walls. Mr. London’s study is a very interesting place. The walks are lined with ook-cases, containing all his books and a number of books by other authors. One thing of special interest is a large filing case. Here he keeps every note for his books, that he has ever written, in alphabetical order. In this study are Mrs. London’s desk, and books and papers. She helps her husband a great deal in his writing, besides doing some herself. In all the rooms of the house little tablets are placed for writing down notes, beeause Mr. Loudon often thinks of some new idea for a book, and wishes to write it down immediately. One very interesting thing in the house is a large, ugly, rough black bowt. Mr. London eonsiders it one of his choice possessions, because it was given to him by an island chief, who wishing to show his affection for the author, and gave him one of most precious possessions, which is called the “Blood bowl.’ This bowl had been handed down by the chiefs of the tribes for many generations. In the days of ‘‘eannibalism’’ the blood of many people had been caught in this bow], as their heads were cut off. About a year ago, A motion picture company stayed at the London ranch for several months, filming Jack London’s novel, ‘‘The Valley of the moon.’’ The scenery around the novelist’s home is very beautiful. Part of the ranch 40 THE ECHO extends away up into the redwood forests. Here under these trees, even en hot days, it is always cool and pleasant. A short distance from the house stands a stone table. On this table, Jack London wrote ‘‘The Sea Wolf.”’ Mr. and Mrs. London are now revisiting the Hawaian Islands, getting mate- rial for new books. THE END OF CAPTAIN JOHN SILVER By Laura Wickham Note. This wes found among the papers of the late James Hawkins, Doctor of Medicine, by his cousin, Robert Hawkins, heir of the estate of Dr. Hawkins. Aug. 29.—Played game of rackets with Sir William and won. Visited Squire Trelawney yesterday. He is very cld and feeble, nearly seventy-five years old. Several days ago i received a letter from John Silver. It was written on a piece of old wrapping paper, and written in a shaky, feeble hand. A little ragged boy delivered it. The letter ran Dear Dr. Jim:- For God’s sake take pity on me, and come and see me. I’m dying Jim and will you bring a parson. I heard about where you live and thought p’rhaps you’d forgive. To tind me, go to the docks on the east side of the Thames, and ask any old salt you see, where ‘‘Bill’s Tavern”’ is. Come quick. John Silver. There had been a time when I believe 1 would have refused his request, but time had changed my hatredto pity. When | looked back upon the time, twen ty years ago, when long John had saved my life from the mutineers, although it had been for his own convenience, | feel now that I owed Long John many thanks. When I finished reading his letter, | told my house-keeper to pack my medi- cine case, and instrueted my man to ask Rey. Watland, rector of St. John’s chureh to come at once. Soon the rector arrived, and as my chase was at the door, we were soon 0� our way to ‘‘Bill’s Tavern.’’ After many inquiries, we finally found the place, a dirty old inn. We inquired of the lanlord for John Silver, and he led us up a rickety, creaking old stairease, and then into a very dark room. At first, we could hardly see a thing, but as our eyes became accustomed to the darkness, we made out the figure of a man, lying on the floor in the cor- ner. We ordered the landlord to bring a candle and then a brazier to warm tie room. When the light was brought, I went over to the corner and knelt down before the pallet on which the man lay. If the landlord had not said, ‘‘John Silver, Sir,’’? 1 don’t believe I should have known that the wasted man, who lay ther with sunken eyes and hollow cheeks, was the merry-eyed, jolly-faced John Silver of twenty years ago. ‘‘Silver,’’ I said, ‘‘Do you know me?” 4) THE ECHO ‘ Jim,’’ he eried, ‘‘Jim, 1 knew you’d come. You always had pity for the weak but Jim, can you forgive me?. I never meant you no harm, tho’ I did use you to make my escape. Since | left the Hispanola that night, I have had a long, hard time. When I went back to the Inn, I found that my Missus had died, so I bought a partnership and first mate’s berth on a pirate ship, that was putting out to sea. After years of robbing many ships, we was caught by a man-o’-war, but 1 eseaped. Then | got this here sickness, had for five years. I guess they call it consumption. Well, Jim, I guess my time’s come. Jim, did you bring a parson ?’’ ‘‘Yes, Silver,,’ I answered, ‘‘here is Rev. Watland.’’ “Thank’y, Jim,’’ said Silver in a whisper, and every little while a coughing spell interrupted his talking and left him weaker and gasping. “Jim,’’ he continued, ‘Will you do something else for me when I die?’’ “Yes, Silver,’’ 1 answered. “Jim, when | dic, will you take care of Cap. Flint? Poor old bird; he’s some old boy now, and, Jim, will you put me into the sea, I like the sea, and I’d like to buried there?’ “Yes, Silver,’’ f said, ‘‘I will do all you ask.’’ ‘““Thank’'y, once more. Now parson read me some from the Good Book, and then I’ll be ready for to die.’’ I saw that no medicine would help Silver now, so I listened to Rev. Watland while he read and prayed. Soon I saw a sort of light of happiness come into Silver’s eyes and I knew the end was near. “Good bye, Jinm,’’ he said, when the rector had finished, and thank you, parson.’’ Silver put out his hand and one after the other, we shook hands with him. Man, though | was, and doctor, too, I eould hardly keep from erying, for somehow it touched me. I turned my head a moment, to wipe away a tear, and when I looked baek, Silver’s eyes were closed, and the reetor nodded his head and said- -‘‘Amen.”’ We went down stairs to see the proprietor, and asked where the parrot was. He pointed to a eorner of the room, and, Not the gay © bird. there sure enough was the old bird. aptain Ilint I had seen twenty years ago, but a sleepy, silent old ‘Well,’ I said to the proprietor, “ poor old Silver is gone.’’ At these words, Captain Flint raised his sleepy old head, and in a pathetie voice, repeated, ‘‘Gone.’? I carried out Silver’s wishes in regard to his burial, and had Captain Flint taken to my home, where he was put ina bright, sunny room. Andnow, onee in a long time throughout the day, as I’m walking through that part of the house, I hear him say, slowly, in a very raspy old voice, ‘‘ Piee- es of eight, pieces of eight.” LEO SULLIVAN Business Manager HARRY LUCE Editor-in-Chief 43 Editor-in-Chief Harry Luce, ’16 Wilma Hocker, ’16 Assistant Editor Myrtle Read, °16 Theodore Matthew, '16 Literary Editor Frances Payne, ’17 Ferne Huckabay, ’16 Associates HOROSCOPE Storjes Laura Wickham, ‘18 Emma Fisk, '16 Sophmore Notes Ruth Brook, 719 Dorothy Wright, ’16 Freshman Notes Ruth Brook, 19 QUOTATIONS Edna Peter, ’16 Stories Social Editor Catharine Crane Sophmore Notes Laura Wickham, ’18 NERAYSTRIGE Junior Notes Irene Nathanson, 717 . tetas te iS Athletic Editor Fred Hatch, ‘16 Governing Board Legro Pressley, '17 Associate, Ernest Richards, ’16 Alumni Gladys Tuttle, ‘15 Exchange Editor Amandus Kistler, ’15 Debating Ross Pool, ’17 Orchestra Ted Kellogg, ’17 Senior Editor Anna Fisk, ’16 ‘ Ett pase Resid t Girls’ Organization Catharine Crane, ‘16 PROPHECY Peis Josh Editor Milby Pardee, '16 _ Business Ma : Sulli , 16 Gladys Sherman, ’16 Business Manager Leo Sullivan 6 Leo Sullivan, ’ Fred Hatch, ’ Catharine Crane, ’ Tom Miller, ’ Anna Fisk, ’ Associates George Marvin, 17 Robert O’Conner, 716 Leonard Talbot, ‘17 Ross Pool, ’16 It is strange the attitude that the Faculty often assume toward the stu- dents that compose the Senior class. We sometimes wonder if they are acting the part of the wise parent who tests his child’s fortitude by discouragement. We do ponder over that idea, but the same assurance always comes: it cannot be; the test is quite too severe. Now, our reason sees the great advantage to the growing youth that is derived from the so-called Ruocks and disappoint- ments. It is true that every one’s wits are better after sharpening, and that bitter experience is the best whet stone. But in this method of improvement, one thing cannot be over looked: we eannot get away from environment. The thing to which we have become accustomed, is the thing that will stick to us throughout our lives. And it really is surprising how quickly we ean become accustomed to our surroundings. It. takes just four years for the normal student to receive his diploma after entering the High Sehool. Indeed, four years is not a long space of time, and when we think of environment doing its work in this period, the time grows even shorter. Never-the-less we say, with truth, that during our four years or high school life, we acquire habits which will, at least, last long enough to show their effect. THE ECHO The moment we enter high school, we realize that the teachers are our sup- ports and guides. We look to them for needed aid. As we advance in our course, this idea becomes stronger. Then, is it strange that a Senior first looks to the faculty for aid in his commencement? We have been used to their sup- port for four years, is it unnatural that we should seek their assistance at the end of this time? The plea of the few (thank fortune, the very few), that it involves them in much extra work, is not at all unfounded; but if they could only sympa- thize with the Senior who is trying to do his work satisfactorily, besides enter- ing into about ten class activities, it comes but once to the student and annu- ally to the teacher, but it is a narrow thinker who cannot see the good such assistance is doing each Synior class. To the student, his commencement is the greatest event of his school life. At that time he receives the reward for which he has worked for four years, and as an expression of his joy, he en- gages in special festivities, such as a play, a Senior edition cf the school pa- per, and such as that. But we are young and little experienced, should we not be guided and aided in these revelries by an older hand? And we ask again, if it is not just that we turn to the Faculty, whose support we have al- ways known in school, for that aid? Without the guidance of an experienc- ed person, these Senior activities cannot hope to be a success. Is it not at all gratifying to the teacher to know that he or she has helped the Seniors to suc- cessfully undertake that wich they consider to be their crowning work? We believe that it should be. However, we hasten to say, that our subject material has not drawn from the Faculty at large. Only the smal l minority figures in this. Let us hope for the benefit of future classes, that the teachers will be as generous with their aid, as they have heen in the past. To meet adversity with a smile, has been a helpful policy, which has guided the Seniors this past year. May they undertake their life work with the same determination. GOVERNING BOARD The terms of 1915-16 were two of the most successful in the history of the Governing Board. Usually the rival factions in the board have brought up many long and unnecessary debates and have hindered the business in other ways. The past two terms, however, have found these rival factions working together for the betterment of both. At the beginning of the fall term, with the dues paid in by the students and the additional money already in the treasury, the Board was ready to begin its work with the following executive officers ; Harry Luce, pres.; Theodore Matthew, Ist vice-pres.; Emma Fisk, 2nd vice- pres.; Morton Farwell, sec.; Miss Koepke, treas. One of the first changes in the school was the uniting of the 12a and 12b classes. , THE ECHO The students were all greatly affected upon hearing of the death of Clifford Meritt, who graduated in the 1915 class, and who was always a popular student in the school. Through the co-operation of the students and the Govern- ing Board, an appropiate floral piece was sent to the funeral. On the seventh of December, the music classes, under the direction of Mr. Maile, undertook the production of the operetta, “Princess Chrysanthemum,” in the auditorium of the Annex. This production proved a great success, and almost a hundred dollars were turned into the treasury. The different athletic teams supported by the students were very successful, although basketball was the only team which paid its own expenses. The track team was victorious in both league meets in the fall as well as in the spring. The basketball team won seven out of ten games played, while the baseball team was played against luck, losing out in both league games. The debating team has passed through a very succesful season, The Governing Board has been well managed and now at the end of the year, the treasury is not empty as it has been at other commencements. This term a plan is being pushed through to have self-government by the students. There was a plan on foot for uniting the Student Body of the Seventh and Eighth grades with the High School Studest Body, but this has been dropped on account of the uncommon interes.s of the two organizations. There were several intertainments given, especially for the members of the Student Body, which were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. Those who held office this term were; Theodore Matthew, president; Milby Pardee, Ist vice-president; I'rancis Payne, 2nd vice-president; Legro Pressley, secretary ; Miss Koepke, treasurer. At last the ivory gates of opportunity swing wide on their silver hinges in answer to our timid knock. This is commencement! and on the portals of the future we hesitate before seeing those snowy gates close behind us.’ Now they are moving, now they are shut! Gone, gone forever are the days when laughter ran throughout our care-free hearts! The days of joy, the days of mirth, have fled and left us but fond memories! We sigh and strive with out-stretched arms to rush between the bars: back to those smiling faces; those shouts of joy. But as we reach, those great gates higher grow, and more impassible is our barrier, We frown upon our weak- ness and with tightened lips turn to face our future. Behind us all is bright and merry ; before us all is dark and veiled. We tremble lest one step send us falling from the ledge upon which we stand. But do we grieve? What thought was that, that all our joy was gone? Oh, we were young and had come early to the realms of Prospect. Now breaks the dawn of a great tomorrow:: the sun bursts forth into a sky of blue and all the future takes on definite shape. Each glistening pinracle waves a welecm� most enticing, and there before us shine the blocks of fame. The paths are many, the goais but few. Each stretches steep above our heads, but each 1s hard and straight «nd smooth. The night of fear has swept away, the day has brought us strength of heart. We laugh, and run, forgetting doubt, each to his allotted elinb, And when, at leneth, our pinnacles we have reached, some high, some low, but each the summit of our desire, we may rest with the smil� of content; our work shall have been well done. And, how broad is our vis- lonary scope 1n comparison with that from which we onee did foolishly trem- ble to depart ! The closing of school, brings an end to one of the most success seasons in the history of the school’s Athletics. Not only have the various branches of sport been represented by winning teams; but more students than ever before have receivd the benefit of athletic training. Much eredit should be given Mr. Steele, through whose etforts our suecess has been made possible. And may next year’s Athletics be even more sue- cessful. With a little co-operation and spirit, tennis courts could be built, thus filling a long-felt want. Also a foot-ball team, worthy of representing the school is not an impossibility, that some students would have had it in the past. And onee organized, would provide a sport, which would not only widen the scope of athletic training; but woul under good management, prove an asset to the the Treasury of the Student Body. So, while wishing future success to our school’s Atheletics, we will review the records set up in the season just closed. TRACK Under the leadership of Captain Weeks and the efficient management of Berger, the Orange and Black Trackmen came through a hard sehedule with colors flying. Two league championships, a dual meet victory, besides a long string of medals taken, in cases where only a few of the team competed, is an enviable record for an yteam. Also, the faet that practically the whole team will be enrolled in the school next year, promises greater victories to come. The individual honors for consistent work go to Captain Wayne Weeks. Wayne broke six records during the season; three in the shot and three in the discus, besides besides tying the school record of 17:00 flat in the 120 yard hurdles. His most notable victories were in the State Championships at Los Angeles, where he won both the shot and discus, setting new records in each event, and later, winning the Drew Cup for the 16-pound shot at Berkeley. Myers, our versatile sprinter, is another athlete whose name is on the honor roll. Orrie again proved his ability to remp ahead of any of them in t he short dashes, and his reeord of 10:2 in the Northwest Coast Section of the C. L. F., will stand for many a day, unless he should lower it himself next spring. Miller, our other sprinter, has also been a consistent point winner, not in 47 THE ECHO the dashes, but also in the diseus. Tom is second to none as a relay man, es- pecially where the relay is the deciding event. Pressley and HeReynolds have proven a good pair of middle-distanee men, both furnishing their share of the points. Few will forget the finish made by Pressley in that 440, at the C. 1. FP. Gnesa is another medal winner, who has had a good year. Louis has been a steady performer in the pole, hurdles, and javelin. Mallory and Sowell in the jumps and javelin are two more, who will bear watchin. Both are fellows who are working all the time and have been stead- ily sprint winners in their events. Besides the veterans, there is an especially good buneh of under-classmen, coming up. Green, Morley, Wymore, McAlpine, and Barnett are all comers, who promise to develop into good men. THE MEETS The season was started with the annual Inter-Class. Again the 717-er’s who have now held the cup for three successive years took first honors. The Senior Class, were the closest competitors, with the Sophomores pulling up in third place. Especially fast times were made for so early in the sping, and competition was keen in all events. Weeks set up his first record, when heaved the dise 119 feet and eight inches. NORTH COAST C. I. F. The next meet was the North-Coast Sestion of the California Inter-Scholas- tie Federation, which was held on the Stanford oval, April 1. Though represented by a team of only six men, we finished in fifth place out of a field of twelve. Our good showing was due to the huskiness of Weeks, who broke two records: heaving the diseus 117 feet, 314 inches, and putting the 12-pound lead 48 feet, 1014 inches. Miller added to the score by placing fourth in the 220; while Hildebrandt did the same in the 8-pound shot for the 120-pound elass. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ‘ihe following Saturday Weeks went to Los Angeles as our representative in the C. I. F. State meet. Here he repeated his performance of the week be- fore by lowering both the shot and discus records His distances were 47 feet, 4% inches, and 117 feet, respectively. This performance put our school on the athletic mep with a high ranking. ANALY DUAL The dal with Analy Hi proved little more than a conditioner for the team dring spring vacation. At no stage of the game was the result of the meet in doubt, though a few of the events brought out some keen competition. The final score 94 to 58. Myers was the individual star, gathering three firsts and running a lap of the relay. : | | THE ECHO NORTH-WEST C. I. F. The Norh-west C. I. F. meet, held at the Santa Rosa race track, was one of largest ever held under the auspices of the school. Despite the faet that the event was transferred to us from Ukiah only two weeks before it was held; it was made a success. Thruogh our own school spirit and the co-operation of the Chamber of Commeree, the services of the band were donated, an automo- bile parade held, and fully 1,000 people admitted to the track. And last but not least, the Orange and Black runners earried away first honors, by a margin of sixteen points. Every event furnished the keenest kind of competition, but the 8. R. H. S. athletes, cheered on by those 500 rooters, could not be stopped. This being the first meet of the league, every event furnished a record. The best records were: Myers win in the century of 10:2; the 220-yard, which was won by Santos, of Tamalpais, in :22 flat; Heintz of Analy, winning the mill in 4:40; Weeks’s heave of 47 feet, 10 inches, in the shot, and winning of the jav- elin by Jones, of Tamalpias, with a toss of 160 feet, 6 inches. Tamalpais Union finished in second place, Analy third, Ukiah fourth with Healdsburg, Napa, Willits and Cloverdale finishing in the order named. Reve se Am Ly, Though somewhat weakened, the team went to St. Helena the following Sat- urday to win the S. M. Championship. The outeome of the meet was not de- cided until after the relay, by which any three of the leading teams could have won the meet. By winning a fast relay, the Orange and Black team retained their title of the S. M. championship. The final score furnished proof of the keen composition. As winners, we scored 38 points, while Napa and Armijo Hi were tied for second honors, with 36 points each. Analy finished fourth with 34 points. While his team-mates were winning this meet, Captain Weeks was compet- ing on the Berkeley oval, where he won the Scholastie State Championship, for the 16-pound shot, and with it the Drew Cup, for this event. This officially ended the track season, though some of the fellows competed in the open meets as individuals, later. BASEBALL The baseball team has had a good season, and had the league championships decided, would have undoubtedly won both of them. The L. M. championship was ‘‘tied up’’ in the first game of the league, when a dispute arose in our game with Analy, and though the ‘“ump’’ ealled it a 2 to 2 tie, Analy refused to play again. We won the Sonoma County championship of the North-west Coast Section of the C. I. F.; but as no inter-county games were played the championship was left undecided. THE GAMES The season was opened with a victory over Petaluma, on their home grounds. A rough diamond and stiff north wind prevented errorless ball: but. furnished 49 THE ECHO plenty of thrills. Sullivan, who pitched the first six innings, hurled a good article of ball, al- lowing but four hits. A tendency to wildness, combined with errors n the pinches gave the Petaluma players their seven runs. Fry, who followed on the mound, sent the boys back in 1-2-3 order. Gray took the slugging honors with three hits; while Maroni had a great day on the paths, stealing seven mases. The Score H S. Rk) H.'s. of Peles: 7 4 Soin S. Vay NATTY: The first Analy game was a big lague contest up to the ninth inning, where the game was abrptly stopped when Analy tred to make an unannounced change in their batting order. Up to the last of the eighth, it was runless, and almost hitless. Both pitchers were invincible with on the bags, thus spoiling several opportunities for some of the boys to boys to become heroes. The wearers of the Orange and Black broke into the run'column in the eighth when Jewell, of Analy, blew up long enough to let in two runs. Sebastopol scored three runs in the ninth, but because of 8 switch in their batting order only two of these were allowed by the umpire and the game was called a tie. The Score kk H Ss. i. 8. y d Analy 2 1 SANTA ROSA 8--HITCHCOCK 9 The only defeat of the season was registered, when the fellows met Hitch- cock Military Academy at San Rafael. Te long, cold ride put the fellows out and the cadets had a mer ry slugfest. A total of fourteen hits were gathered from Fry’s delivery ; while we gather- ed but five. It was an awful drubbing; and while we did not get another op- portunity to wipe it out, the fellows felt that under more favorable conditions they could win. S. R. H.'S. 4—ANAL 2 The second Analy game proved as exciting as the first, with each team fight- ing their heads off. That our team played with only eight men and the won, put fear into the Analyites, and had much to do with their decision not to play the S. M. game. La al a rac alle aca +, G ps 7 . This was also the last game of the season, and with no more games in sight, the team disbanded, The Score H 6 THE ECHO BASKET BALL Never, in the history of the 8S. R. H. S was such an interest manifested among the Basket Ball boys as it was this season. Although the work season inter- fered with the early practice, for some of the fellows, still a team was well or- ganized before our first game. Manager Richards sent out a call for fellows interested in Basket Ball, and be- fore many practices had gone by there were about twenty-five fellows out. It could very plainly be seen that any one desiring a place on the team must work hard for it and each fellow soon realized it and at once started in to do his best work. As soon as the fellows who were out training for track ‘Myers, Pressley, Richards and Fry) came back to their old stunt of twirling the ball there was a great deal of difference in the playing of the game. Myers, our captain, although a veteran from past years, played better ball tlen ever before. In all games he was quick and fast and put the life into the the team work. Richards, our manager, played his usual game at the pivot position. ry, for several years has been the star at forward, but he also acquired a greater efficiency in his profession this season. Mallory, (Fry’s twin brother at forward) was always there ‘‘with the goods.’’ He was out to practice from beginning to end and always had lots of pep in his games. His ambition was set on pilng up a score and he accomplish- ed his share of it. Pressley was very enthusiastic about the sport from start till finish, and with his hard and persistent praeteing whipped himself into excellent form by the opening game. His past experience was a great help to him. Other fellows who tried hard for the team were: Hattie, Gemetti, Mack, Shuler, Matthew and Gnesa. The first game of th e season was played with our new neighbors, Sonoma. This team had the pleasure of being our first vitim in 1914 and met with the result this season. The purpose of this game was to pick a team and get ready for the League games which were to come soon. The record for the season was very good and much eredit should be allowed to our coach, Mr. Steele, for his faithful help to us in every way. The Scores RK: Hy: 8, 43 Sonoma RR.

Our victories were always gained on our home court. It seem:: wat on a strange ecurt, the fellows could not put the desired pep into the game to bring a victory. GIRLS ORGANIZATION The Senior and Junior girls formed an organization two years ago for tus purpose of creating more school spirit, keeping the building from being detac- ed, asisting the Study Hall, and especially of bringing the girls more closely together in smuli social gatherings. Although the girls were not organized until late this year, still, since orga.i- izing, we have been very active, and have shown much interest in schocl activ- ities. During the fall semister a middy dance was given to the Freshmen girls by the upper class girls to initiate them into our social activities. Following tue dance, light refreshments were served. On Saturday night, preceding the opening of the Spring term, the Freshmen girls were guests at the Girls’ Jinks. My! wihiat a time every one had! There was a big three ringed circus, and a real circus parade, too, and of course, pea- nuts and popeurn, besides the largest number of side-shows ever carried with one circus, and a regular nickel dance. Following the cireus, we enjoyed a short program, after which a general rush was made for the hot dog and bun counter. The Girls’ ‘‘Vodvil,’’ on April twenty-seventh, was a grand success, finan- cially, as well as otherwise. In all, nine dollars were collected. Both teach- ers and pupils enjoyed the program which was an exceedingly clever perform- ance for ameteurs. The program was as follows: Dance Virginia Pomeroy Song—‘‘Schubert’s Serenade,’’ Isabel Bolton Edna Higgenson Dialogue—‘‘Cure for Rumats.’’ : ; Vera Stump Gladys Sherman Farce ‘“‘That Blond Person’’ Caste Eleanor Laura Wickhain Mrs. Phelps Winifred Burke Ethel Irene Nathanson Mrs. Hudgens Isabel Bolton Mrs. Parker Frances Payne Jane Myrtle Read Accompanist Evelyn Laughhn A Japanese Afternoon”? was greatly enjoyed by the Senior and Junior girls in May. Miss Matthew, a Y. M. C. A. worker, and who had just retured THE ECHO from Japan, gave a good idea of the school conditions there compared with our own. Miss Matthew was a very interesting speaker, and her talk was much appreciated by the girls. Ice cream and cake were served at the close of the lecture by Japanese waitresses. The girls showed their school spirit at the paper benefit, given May the eigh- teenth, by having a eandy booth. The expenses were few, for the girls donat- ed the candy. The proceeds amounted to fifteen dollars. The girls are quite well organized now, and having taken part in so many pleasant entertaimments, the work for next year is already being looked for- yard to with much interest. Organization officers for the last Present Officers term : President Frances Payne President Ferne Huckabay Vice-President Gladys Sherman Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Secretary Edna Peter Catharine Crane Treasurer Helen Finley THE ORCHESTRA The past year has been a period of dilligent work for the Orchestra. Al- though not much has been heard of this organization in a publie way, never- theless, it has flourished. Under the new plan innaugurated at the beginning of the year, the musically- inclined students of the school met on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week at the eighth period. Mrs. Mills organized and directed the Orchestra in a way reflecting great eredit upon herself. It was through her efforts that many new pieces were obtained, such as a ‘‘Medley of College Songs’’ and ‘‘Stars and Stripes For- ever March.’’ After the Christmas holidays, the Orchestra resumed its work with, if pos- sible, still greater energy, frequently practicing after the close of a period to work out an especially difficult number. Beginning with the first of April, the members were ealled out daily during all periods of the day to practice for the May Fete, which was given by the Junior High School Students. Musie was then heard rising from the midst of the school campus, beating time to the intricate steps of the May-pole dances. Later, the musie was confined within the walls of the gymnasium, but finally it was heard by a large audience on the eventful Fete of May the second. Shortly after the Fete, the music for the Senior play arrived, and work upon it was immediately started. Mr. Maile and Mr. Blosser both did much to drill the Orchestra upon the difficult numbers, from this time to the presentation of the play. Finally, on June the thirteenth, the Orchestra made its last appearance on a beautiful ‘‘Mid-Summer Night ’’ The members were cleverly ecneeaied by the THE ECHO hedge between the High School and the Annex, playing in harmony with the scenes of Shakespeare’s famous comedy, as port rayed by the graduating class of the school. The list of members enrolled in the Orchestra during the past years is as follows: Harry Luce (1st term) .... Pianist Everitt Morrison .......... Milton Saare (2nd term) .. Pianist Leonard Talbot Margaret Bailey ......... � .. Violi Harold Nielson Drusilla Talbot ioli Albert Albera Perry Bonar ioli Leland Hodgson Frederick Kellogg ioli Orville Lambert ........... Drums DEBATING Although the Debating Team encountered the misfortune of losing the debat- ing championship of the S. N. 5. League, it may still be said that debating has experienced a successful year. The first debate of the season was on Nov. 12th, under the direction of the University Extension League, and the teams chosen by Mr. Montgomery were Leo Sullivan and Ross Pool (negat've) ; James Sewell and Frances Payne (affirm- ative). The negative team gained an easy victory at Healdsburg, while the af- firmative team lost to Sebastopol at Santa Rosa The subject was “Resolved, That California Should Adopt the Commission Plan of Government”. In the second debate of the season we were matched against Cloverdale, whom we successfully defeated by upholding the affirmative side of the question, “Re- solved, That the Cities of California should adopt the City Manager plan of Government”. The team selected for this debate was composed of Leo Sullivan, Francis Payne and Ross Pool. This debate was exceptionally close, as Cloverdale put forth an extremely good argument, and their defeat was due to the splendid rebuttal argument delivered by Leo Sullivan. The next debate was the semi-finals of the University Extension League, the question submitted was “Resolved, That an Illiteracy Test for Immigration is Desirable,’ The negative team composed of Leo Sullivan and Ross Pool, lost at Suisun, although the decision was doubtful, while the second team also lost to Napa, at Santa Rosa. In the S. N. 5. League, we defeated Sebastopol by successfully upholding the negative side of the question, “Resolved, That Govern- ment Ownership of Railroads is Desirable.” The team chosen for this debate was Leo Sullivan, Ross Pool and James Sewell. By defeating Sebastopol we gained the previlege of meetitg Napa for the championshp of the S. N.S. League. This debate was held in Napa on May sth, Santa Rosa upholding the negative side of the question, “Resolved, That the Cities of California Should Adopt the Com- mission Plan of City Government”. Napa gained the decision by a two to one vote of the judges after one of the most closely contested debates ever witnesed. In summing up the work of the year, it may certainly be said that the debating team worked unusually hard on each question and that they all feel amply repaid by the practical knowledge gained from this work. The team as well as others interested in debating wishes to express their gratitude to Mr. Montgome ry for the able and untiring efforts that he put forth to help them in their work. Mention must also be made of the splendid debating of the team, especially the individual work of Sullivan, the veteran member of the team, who had a very successful year. ; 54 THE ECHO ALUMNI NOTES We wish to apologize for the brief list of former students in the Alumni Notes, but it is almost impossible to obtain a complete list among so seattered an organization. Among those irom the ’15 class who entered the University ef California are ; Fanita Jewell, Myrna Moore, Margaret Forsyth, and Carl Stienart. Those from the ’14 class: Pauline Clark, Juliet Johnson, Esther Sinclair, Mildred Thompson, Hosmer Winter and E. G. Sewell, Elizabeth Talbot, Freyman Cole- man and Jessie Lingefelter. Three of 715 class, Claire Coltrin, Zelma Carithers, and Olivia Smith, are attending Mills College. . The San Jose Normal proved to be a popular place with the girls from last year’s class, the following having enrolled there: Elma Quimby, Fay Erwin, Vivian Bolton, Mildred Kyle, Edith Kyle, Ruth Todd, Hazel Ramage, Aileen Randall, Juanita Melvin, Bernice Rowe, and Mildred Richardson.

It seemed hard to all his fellow-students to say, ‘“Thy will be done,’’ when he was called home. Seat — We have come to the end of the year and will have to say good bye until next term. To our Exchanges we wish to express our appreciation for the advantages derived from our intercourse with other schools. In the exchange of papers, we have not only gained new ideas of school life, but a picture of each school,which the publications represent. Thus we have been given an ad- vantage which could come to us in no other way—that of comparing our school with others in distant parts of the United States. We hope that next year, we shall be able to continue our intercourse so profitable to all. L. W. L.
