Santa Rosa High School - Echo Yearbook (Santa Rosa, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1917 volume:

Published by the Senior Class of the Santa Rosa High School ANNUAL JUNE POA. Santa Rosa California Cu Mr. Be Witt Montgomery Our Principal Our Adnuiser Our Friend this “€rhn” is dedicated a co HMI Iu Appreciation... When “The Echo” comes into your hands, the work of the editorial staff will be finished, and that which most truly represents the Senior Class of 717, will be completed. We hope we have pleased; that has been our object, and we hope that this book will call to mind the things you will wish recalled. The work of editing a High School annual is in- deed valuable, and while it has been difficult, it has also been enjoyable. However infinite patience is necessary as well as many, many hours of careful thought and labor, for an annual is not the result of an Aladdin’s lamp; it is the result of hard, persevering effort. But for the editorial staff to assume all the merit of editing this “Echo” would be taking undue credit. We have asked and received aid from. many quarters, and to those who have given it so willingly we gladly acknowledge our most sincere thanks. To Mr. Montgomery, for his unfailing encourage- ment and help; to Miss O’Meara for fulfilling her posi- tion of staff adviser so admirably; and to the other members of the faculty, who have in any way helped or encouraged us, we wish to extend our appreciation. To the Senior Class who have contributed so generously, and to our advertisers we are also deeply indebted; and to the Commercial Art Engraving Company, for interest in our order, we would like to extend a word of thanks. But to Mr. Barnett, foreman of the Press Democrat office, a special meed of gratitude is extended, for without his suggestions and his unfailing interest and help in all difficulties, we feel that this “Echo” could not have been what it is.

O’Meara FRANCES PAYNE GEORGE MARVIN éniturial Commencement time draws near! The work of four years is completed, and looking back for an in- stant over those years we feel we have done well. And now the future is before us'| What will it bring? To some it will bring the opportunity of higher edu- cation; to others it will mean taking part in the busy community life around us. Yet whatever our plans for the future, no matter what line of education or work we enter upon, perseverance in the pursuit of that work is necessary. It is the hinge of all other virtues, being simply the habit of trying over and over again the steady and determined pursuit of a plan! We have all been told there is no royal road to learn- ing, and we have all doubtless recognized this during our four years of high school work. Tremendous dif- ficulties should, least of all, discourage, for the things best worth achieving are always surrounded by con- ditions the most difficult to surmount—the difficulty frequently measuring the worth. To know how to wrest victory from defeat and use our failures as stepping stones to better things, is the true secret of success. It is said that the difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one comes from, a strong will and the other from a strong won't. One of the things we can be absolutely sure will be developed, while persevering in whatever line of work we undertake, is the knowledge that each year will transform us into more able and competent workers, and we can do easily what seems impossible today. The benefits of a popular government are not at- tained without effort. If eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, eternal perseverance is the price of excel- lence, and is the duty of every lover of his country. So let us say, as the little drummer boy did when taken prisoner and led into the camp of the enemy. They rold him to beat the drum. “Yes,” said he, “I will beat the drum, though you ask me to do it in insult,” and he beat a reveille. “Now,” said they, “beat an ad- vance,” and he did so. “Now beat a charge,” and he beat the charge. “Now,” said they, “beat a retreat.” “No,” said the little fellow, “I never learned to beat a retreat.” Let us have no such word as “retreat” in our vocabulary; but, aided by perseverance, let it be all enward, upward, and victory. The joys, the sorrows, the triumphs and defeats of the years 1913-17 have passed and gone. Each coming day will push them farther and farther back into the shadowy recesses of time. But these years of achievement must live forever, not only in the his- tory of the school, but in your memory. And so, if this book but serves as a guide and reminder of those years and ever binds us more closely to dear old Santa Rosa Hi, its mission will indeed, be well performed.

T WAS mid-summer, and early morn- ing, when everything in Nature’s out- doors is dewey and fresh and fragrant. The sun had not been long risen above the hazy mountains, and was just wak- ing the swallows and sparrows to chirp and twitter in happiness. Richard Barstowe was swinging along the road, his head thrown back, en- joying to the full every minute of the morning. He had risen early, and slipping out of the house had started off for a morning walk. For sheer joy at being alive he was whistling, when he turned a bend in the road and the sound of a horse rapidly approaching was heard. Stepping to the side of the road, he waited to see who the early rider was. He did not have to wait long—dashing around the bend at full tilt came a wild-looking little Arabian pony, and on his back was a girl whom Richard judged to be about sixteen. She was dressed in a simple linen middy suit, and a long braid of golden hair hung down her back. In one prettily-shaped arm she clasped a large bunch of wild- flower blossoms, and with the other she guided her pony. Coming upon Dick so suddenly so frightened the girl that she let fall her flowers. She immediately halted her pony, and as Richard, who had stooped and gathered the blossoms, handed them to her, she laugh- i explained that she was so startled at seeing any- , J ingly ove 10 one about so early that she had dropped her flowers. Then with a word of thanks and a fleeting smile, she was gone. Starting on his homeward way, Richard reflected that her eyes had been blue; yes, very blue, and large and sparkling. He wondered who she could be; she was evidently not new in the country as he himself was, having come but the day before for a long-looked- forward-to vacation at the little resort beside the wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The next time he saw her was one afternoon when he was on his way down to the beach with his friend, Jack Erdly. She was coming out of a cottage across the street with some other girls, all with tennis racquets. They hailed Jack who waved his hat in reply, and in answer to their query as to whether he was going to the party that night, he replied in the affirmative. “Those are most of the girls who will be at Mrs. Donovan’s party tonight,” explained Jack. ‘You'll like them all, they’re a dandy crowd, but you'll like Pris- cilla Wright the best. She is the girl with the yellow hair down her back. Her family live in Los Angeles, but she had to come here to recuperate from an illness. She stays with her aunt.” These facts were interesting to Dick, and he be- gan looking forward to the evening with much pleasant anticipation. Evening found Priscilla enjoying her usual tate- a-tate with her aunt. “Aunt Helen,” she cried impulsively stooping to bestow a kiss on Mrs. Smith’s cheek, “I just can’t bear to think of going back to school in the autumn, even though it is more than a month off. I’ve had such a wonderful time here, I don’t see how I can go.” “We will certainly miss you, dearie,” said her aunt, “but you come up for your vacations always. But look at the time, Priscilla, run quickly and dress, my child.” Hurrying up to her room, the girl quickly donned a blue taffeta dress, finding slippers and stockings to match, and snatching a wrap she hurried outside where she already heard her cousin, Bob McGrane’s whistle. “Hello Priscilla,’ he greeted her. “Isn’t this a peach of a night?” And indeed it was; cool and quiet and a full moon turning the out-doors into fairy-land. Bob and Priscilla were the best of chums, and it was a common sight to see them together; horseback and galloping about the country, playing tennis, or strolling far down the beach. Bob had taken a special interest in the recuperation of his cousin, and in doing what he termed his duty, the two had become fast friends. It was not far to the Donovan home, a spacious and attractive bungalow, and on the way Bob told her about a new fellow who was to be there. “He’s a peach of a kid, too,” declared Bob, “and a shark at tennis. I never saw a prettier player.” 11 be the fellow I met the other “Is he athletic-looking and “I wonder if he can morning,” said Priscilla. rather tall?” “Yes, I guess that’s most of the inhabitants new.” Arriving at the party they found most of the young people already there, and the broad veranda had its share of them. As Bob and Priscilla came up the steps they were greeted with calls of welcome, and likewise as they entered the living-room. to greet their hostess. Later, as Priscilla turned from a group, at the touch of Mrs. Donovan’s soft hand upon her arm, she found Richard Barstowe standing at Mrs. Donovan’s side, and herself being presented to him. “Miss Wright and I have met before I believe,” said Richard rather uncertainly, as he took her ex- tended hand. “Yes,” laughed Priscilla, “under quite different cir- cumstances,” and she graphically told of their meeting on the country road. “Then you are already quite acquainted,” said the gracious lady, “and I will leave him in your care, my dear.” Priscilla took him over to the group she had just left, and having introduced him to all there—they chattered gaily until strains of music from the Victrola, which inevitably suggested dancing, broke up the the one. Anyway you know of this little village, and he’s merry crowd, and Bob came to claim the first dance with his cousin. Priscilla saw no more of Richard Barstowe until the supper, when she was seated between him and Bob. There was unlimited merriment during the meal, and on a dare Priscilla challenged Richard to a set of ten- nis. He took it quickly, and they agreed to meet the next day at the courts, with the other members of the party as witnesses. When the party broke up and started homeward in various ways, many were the gay salls of reminder for the morrow, which rang out on the clear night air. The following day saw most of them at the courts, and as Priscilla dashed up a trifle late, she found Richard already there, and after a few minutes rest, they began the set. Priscilla had a serve for which she was noted, and knocked the balls over the net so swift and low that Richard had to scoop them up. They were well matched, and at the end of the ninth game he had five games and she four. It was Priscilla’s serve, and never did she do better, and never had Richard been so fleet and deft. The score rose to forty-thirty, and Richard made it deuce. Priscilla be- same excited, he gained the advantage, and then by a turn in her racquet, she lost her game and set. Richard gave a leap over the net, and coming to her side held out his hand. “Tt was a hard fight all right, and you nearly fin- ished me up. Congratulations!” “Oh, it’s not for you to do the congratulating, I am doing that. It certainly was work.” After more congratulations from the watchers for both players, they sat in a shady corner while the others played. Little did Richard Barstowe or any other of these young people enjoying the happy care-free days, think that any cloud of disaster or calamity was overhanging their land. There were wars, and rumors of wars in the world, but it never came home to them until one Saturday evening when the little chapel bell rang furiously, and as the tourists gathered in the church yard, the town sheriff arose and launched into a very thrilling address on patriotism. He ended with the declaration that “our loved and honored land had now dipped her finger into the blood of war,” and chal- lenged all men with honor and patriotism to answer their country’s call. There did not seem to be much definite result to this appeal, but it was a seed sown, and the following day, Richard left the little resort after seeing only Bob McGrane, who later reported that that young man had left partly on account of his father, but chiefly with the intention of taking examinations immediately for the officers’ reserve corp. Many things may happen in four years, and many events did take place in the four years which passed before Richard Barstowe and Priscilla Wright again met. It was early dusk of a cool October night when a young man walked briskly along the beach of that same small summer resort. His head was thrown back and he was breathing deeply of the fresh salty air. His thoughts were far from the present circumstances, and he was thinking of the change in himself in those few years, while the little resort remained the same. There was the same old baggage man, who knew the history of every one who had ever visited the village; the same old station, and likewise the same exquisite scenery of beach and ocean. What was it that was not the same? He could not quite tell. These reflections were brought suddenly to a stop by his turning a sand hill and seeing a black-clad figure beneath a wind- blown cypress tree. He feared he had been seen, but finding he had not, he watched more closely. It was a girl clad in the deepest mourning. She had thrown back her veil, showing a mass of golden hair, piled loosely on her head. Her deep blue eyes were filled with tears, and raised to the grey heavens, and her small hands were outstretched in mute appeal. Sud- denly she closed her eyes and clinched her fists, the soft red mouth stiffened, and her chin took a determined line. She turned away, and drawing her veil down over her face, walked the opposite way, slowly, a pathetic little figure in the gathering dusk. Astonished, the man stood looking after her, and when he could no longer distinguish her from the shad- 13 ows, he walked slowly back to the inn to spend a thoughtful and restless night. The following day he made some inquiry, show- ing only a casual interest, with the result that he went to the post office, asking for the name Wright. The old postmaster’s eye grew misty when he at last caught the name. “Miss Priscilla? Yes, indeed. It’s a sad case, a sad case,” and he shook his head in ominous sorrow, as he looked up the address. Receiving the address, Richard set out to find it. He had already made sure that she was not at the old home of her aunt, where she had lived that summer so long ago, and the address just given him proved to be in the opposite direction. At last he came to the house, and found a small bungalow, surround- ed by a large garden. The house was plain save for a large low porch, upon which there were numerous couches, chairs, and rugs, and in a swinging chair, the cushions were disarranged and lay open. The front door was_ partially ajar, and Richard lifted the knocker lightly, but when no one came, he knocked sharply. After several min- utes of waiting, he turned to go when a girl ran around the corner of the porch, and Priscilla Wright stood be- fore him, a girl, and yet not a girl. Some strange sor- row had made her face sadly more beautiful, more than the mere girlhood beauty she had had. a_ book “How do you do,” she said breathlessly, “I didn’t hear until just now, and—why—why Dick Barstowe— where did you come from?” “Sit down, sit down,” he said, really fearing she would fall, “I just thought I would come up here for a little vacation, and enjoy a few pleasant memories. But ‘an you tell me—why are you here after all this time?” “Me—oh—” she choked, and her blue eyes filled with tears. “I'll tell you, because you'll want to hear.” ’ She paused a moment as if to gain assurance, then settling herself determinately in a big chair she began: “We came up here in July, mother and father and I, for a long vacation. It was cut short by an accident. They were out riding in the launch with my uncle and aunt, when something went wrong. The man who was steering was incapable, and the whole thing collapsed. My uncle saved Aunt Helen, but she is weak yet, from the shock, and mother and father were both drowned. But—the boatman was saved. He lives here now, and—” her mouth hardened, and again she clinched her hands—“Yes, he lives!’ Richard watched her a moment, and when the bitter storm of unforgiveness was past, and again she sat in a sad calm, he patted her comfortingly on the shoulder. “Believe me, you have my sincerest sympathies, and if there is anything I can do, please tell me. Did you say your uncle and aunt are here?” 14 “Yes,” she sighed, “I have only them now, and we found the lovely old place, and decided to stay. I love it, and then—it’s nearest them, I think.” It was several weeks following this meeting, and Richard and Priscilla had been much _ together. Richard was trying in every way possible to help Priscilla to forget the bitterness of her sorrow, and most of all to lose her hatred of the boatman. It was hardening her heart, and cramping her vision, and he knew she must forgive to forget. The people of the resort were giving a play, and Richard was taking the leading part. Priscilla had been asked to play opposite him, but had refused, and only after much urging had consented to take a minor part. It was one night after rehearsal and Priscilla and Richard were walking home in silence. Suddenly the girl spoke. “Do you know,” she said, “I almost wish I had taken that part. I know about all of the lines just from hearing it. Come on, let’s go through it for fun.” And so they did, and almost without a break. When they finished, they were resting on the porch steps, when the director of the play came dashing up, and breath- lessly gasped that the leading lady had been called away, and Priscilla must take the part—she was the only one who could do it, and she must. What was her answer? “Why, why—I don’t know what to say,” began Priscilla, but she did not have to say, because Richard quickly told the man she would, and sent him on his way rejoicing. “It will really do you good,” he said, “and now good night, you'll need some rest before a week from tonight.” The night of the play came and the rustic amphi- theater was filled to overflowing, and from the mo- ment when the orchestra struck the first note until the lights went out on the final scene, the audience laughed and cried, rejoiced and sorrowed with the people be- fore them. It was a wierd tale of the Franciscan Fath- ers, and Priscilla was a captive Indian maid, loved by a Spanish cavalier. She, however, hated the Spanish because of their cruelty to her people, and would have nothing to do wit h the handsome knight, though her heart bade her do otherwise. And so the story was woven out, and in the end, she softened, forgave and forgot, and gave herself up to her lover. It was late when Richard and Priscilla made their way homeward, and the moon was flooding the earth with light, while the night was filled with lovely sounds and odors; the quiet calls of sleepy birds and the con- tented chirps of crickets. Priscilla was still in the cos- tume of the last scene, a flowing robe of white and silver, and the glory of her hair caught only by a halo of silver tinsell. As. they came near her home; Priscilla broke the silence. 15 “Do you know, playing that part has just made me feel that way myself. And, oh Richard, I truly have forgiven and forgotten!” There were many things which Richard wanted to say to her as he looked down into her shining eyes, but he could not. They turned in at the garden gate, entering what seemed an enchanted garden bathed in silvery light. She passed silently along by his side, and as they brushed against the bushes, they gave out their scents into the night; roses, and lavender, narcissus and jace- mine breath. It all went to make the way sweeter and seemed to shroud them both in a silver mist of moon- light and love and happiness. At length after winding through the shadowy paths they turned toward the veranda, and through the half-curtained window they could see her uncle and aunt chatting before the cosy low fire. The glow of the fire was all about them, and as the girl and man stood without, they saw the old man turn lovingly to his wife, and she looked trustingly up into his face with a look of endearment, which age and toil had failed to wither. Out in the night the girl trembled suddenly as if with cold, and the man turn- ing, slipped both arms about her, and she too, looked up into his face with the look which never was to be effaced. And then they went in! Gertrude Matthew, °17. Himmivr and FJ E WERE doing nothing. That is what Jimmie and I generally did—nothing, except when we went on some es- capade. If I do not explain who Jim- | mie and I are you will probably get (CF) the idea into your head that we are just two lazy boys, but you would be positively wrong. We are two girls in our “teens,” who are always hunt- ing adventure or cooking up something exciting, and whose mothers exclaim morning, night, and sometimes at noon, that on account of our boyish pranks they will probably be compelled to spend their next vacation at Napa in a padded cell. Ever since both of us could remember we regretted It couldn’t be helped, we weren't boys, so we consoled ourselves by being such tomboys that nearly everyone called us Jimmie and Billie, myself being Billie. that we were not boys. Ore evening during the last few weeks of our sum- mer vacation, we were comfortably propped up in two hammocks that were swung between some redwood trees just in front of our camp. The camp was in a grove of redwoods, with a few oaks scattered among them. We loved those oak trees dearly, for it was 16 there we used to hide when it was time to dry the dishes and sinfully giggle at our mothers when they would call, “J-i-m-m-i-e ! ! B-i-l-l-i-e !!!” and at last when they were certain we were drowned, we would give ourselves up to kisses and hugs—and the dish towel. From the camp we looked right out on the river, and a path led down to a small landing, where we kept a canoe for ourselves and a boat for our more timid mothers. Here, also was our swimming hole, and the springiest spring board you ever sprang from. One evening our mothers had gone for a walk to the grocery store and post office that were near our camp, so we were alone. Jimmie began to hum, and I knew she was cither going to sleep or cooking up some escapade, probably the latter, so I began to think up something, too. At last she broke the silence, and I found that we had been thinking of the same thing. “Billie, ’ve been good all day, and I can’t be good one minute longer, let’s have a canoe ride before our guardian angels come back.” “All right, Jimmie, my love, anything to please, but ve both have to be good so that our guardian angels— cur mothers, in other words—will forgive us for cut- ting out the back of the tent to make a sail for the canoe. It was nice and cool last night, so I don’t care. I'm rather glad we burned holes in our bathing suits, too, arn’t you? We got to wear our brothers’, and it was such fun with no bothersome skirts to get twisted around our legs. Now, really, Jimmie don’t you wish with all your might, and some of mine, too, that you and I were boys?” “Of course, I do silly, haven’t I said so just trillions and gillions of times. It just makes me want to fight every time I get to thinking about it, but then you know what our mothers say when you and I have a real fight. Every single time we hear that same old—‘Now Jimmie and Billie aren’t you just awfully ashamed of your- selves to act in such a rough, rowdy way, when you know your mothers are trying to make refined young ladies out of you, so you will be able to enter society when you are of age.’ Oh, I just hate society, and worst of all to have to be a nice little girl.” “Well, let’s not sit here and talk about what we wish we were, but can’t be, and things that we have done that we are sorry for. Suppose we start upon this terrible journey into the wilderness, because we may never get another chance.” “Yes, we had better go because it does not take our guardian angels more than a century to fly up to the post office and back again to see if their darling daugh- ters have been eating jam or playing with matches.” We jumped up, found the paddles and pillows, went down to the river and got into the canoe. Soon we were drifting along enjoying the cool evening air. Then suddenly we saw the awfullest, spookiest thing that ever existed. On the left hand side of the river a white hand was grasping the willows. I looked at Jim- mie, and she looked as if some one had thrown a bucket of whitewash into her face, she was so pale. I must have looked just as bad, because Jimmie has never been able to describe the horrified expression that was on my face. In plain words, we were “scared stiff.” Many things flashed through our minds in a second. Of course we remembered a muffled scream a minute ago and a queer gurgling noise. In the gathering dark- ness we could intagine the water boiling up as the drowning person fought for life—we had wonderful imaginations, and I don’t doubt but that we could imagine most anything if we wished. What should we do, pull the person out by the hand? No, that would upset the canoe. Should we both jump in and rescue this person? No, we would probably be strangled to death. We wanted to play the hero, or heroine rather, but the mere thought of it made our teeth chatter. The canoe slid alongside of the band and we reach- ed for it before we thought. Horrors of horrors, our hopes of being heroines were shattered into a thousand pieces. The hand was a white glove filled with cotton and tied to the tree! Bess Godman, 719. Satan Cage and the Cirrus Dearish Hon. Sir:— Strange excitements occur in town recently. Brightish signs pasted up announce circus. School are closed on account of vacations, so I make plans to see everythings: Thursday evenings upon retiring to bed I ajust alarm clock to call me early. At 4:30 a. m. he ring like fire alarms, and I muffle him with pillows. Excitements are all inside of me while arrangement for my departure take place. Three and a half min- utes later I dash myself down to S. P. railroad station te await for arrival of Hon. Al G. Barnes’ Wonderful Animal Circus. One hour I await with shivers, while trains not arrive. “Daggers!” I stutter thru clicking teeth. are hon. circus?” Nobodies do not know either. “Maybe this are April foolish joke,” I gasp with impatience, while I proceed to wait thirty minutes longer. Soonly gentleman party exit forth from yel- lowish building and approach lady nearby my side. “Train have become derailed,” he inform us. She will not arrive until by-em-by.” “Where “Whizzes,” I hiss, with disappointment feelings, 18 while making retreats for bedroom, where snores are enjoyed by me until 8 a. m. o’clock. At 11:30 I take myself back again to arriving place of circus. Crowds are decorating station, like mosquitoes on fisherman’s Patiently for one half hour I wait, and then joys are mine. “Toot!” announces the train as he drag big, heavy circus into town. “Wheeew,” he whistle when labors are finished. Peoples crowd close to him to see every- things. Instantly animals are let loose from cars and lugged to camp. One male species of humanity with voice like rusty buzz saw, mounted on top of a horse, and proceed to boss the job. “Say,” he demjand, “employ swift speed there.” neck. Then he repeat several prayers which I learn in Sunday school. Bigish wagons are removed from trains by Hon. Elephant. Then lions, tigers, snakes and other fish are carried to College Lot. About this time hungry feelings are possessed by me, in regions of appetite, and I depart for my meal ticket. When I have stuffed myself with cake, pickles, dried fish and lemonade, I dash again to circus lot. While show people are employed in eating dinner, I observe all I can free of charge. animals, I see Hon. Mrs. Yost. “Hello!” she smile, like sunshine. “Ditto,” I delite with pleasure, as she vanished be- hind big tents. Then the parade appear. Animals, bears, music bands, etc. One things which are interest to me are wagon filled with men in pretty clothes. One man wearing a white face with red dots on, spoke to me. While looking at “Hello, Kiddo,” he hiss. “Much obliged to know you,” I retreat, with pride, while small boys are possessed of envy . Maybes I am getting famous, I think to myself. I do not know gen- tleman’s name. After Hon. Parade are over, I make noble retreat for back of tents to observe everything I can for free price, as high cost of living are reducing my treasury to nothingness.

It is the Class of Seventeen. It is the finest class that ever was; The best that you have seen. It has the best girls in the country, And the boys are just the same— But it took a lot of working; And I'll tell you how the Seniors came. Chorus It took a lot of learning from some books To make the Class of Seventeen. It took a lot of teachers’ nods and looks To make the Class of Seventeen. They made the finest class I know, When they made that Senior row— Everyone is happy, In that class so snappy, From the tallest to the smallest one;— And now they’re leaving High to go somewhere, Out into the big, wide world. And they’ll be coming back, be coming back— With high banner all unfurled. They have given to their school their best; And intermingled it with many jokes and jests. It won’t be half as nice as Paradise Without the class of Seventeen!

From our elemen- tary school days I shall pass to 1913, to the period when, as a united class, we entered Santa Rosa High School. Perhaps the first recollection that we, the dignified Seniors of °17, have of our High School life, was the sound of the voice of a grinning upper-classman say- ing, “This is my seat, please,” when as green and bash- ful Freshmen we chanced to seat ourselves in assem- bly. Oh, for the day when we might say to equally green and bashful Freshmen, “This is my seat, please!” And that day came! In the meantime, however, our efforts were not confined to longings. We were duly initiated into school life at the Freshmen Reception. At once we began to reap honors. The occasion was the Interclass Meet, in which we won first place. At this time an event in the history of the school took place. The monthly issue of the “Echo” was replaced by the “Weekly,” and an annual issue of the “Echo.” As Sophomores we kept up our good record in athletics. Weeks, Myers and Pressley added many points to the league meets. The girls were represented in basketball, their sole activity, by Hazel Cooper and Angelena Lepori. But the social events were not for- gotten. Two enjoyable parties were held—one at the Annex, and one at the home of Frederick Kellogg. Our issue of the “Weekly,” with Frances Payne as editor, proved to be the best paper edited up to that time. The joy of the entire class in producing a better one than that produced by the Juniors, was unbounded. It was during our Sophomore year that the school band was first organized. Too often classes seem to lose their school spirit during their Junior year, but not so with our class.. The reputation that we had made for ourselves during the previous two years was not only maintained, but raised. In athletics our class was foremost. Again we won the Interclass meet. To Wayne Weeks much of the credit in athletics fell due. He won laurels not only for himself, but for the school, both in Southern California and in the games around home. During the first semester, the Seniors entertained us at a most elaborate reception in the Annex. This we returned the following semester, when their term at school was fast nearing its close. As Juniors, our girls became members of the Junior-Senior Girls’ Organization, and have done their part in the improvement of the school. The class picnic was another event not to be soon for- gotten, both because of the good time, and _ the attacks of poison oak enjoyed by several of the mem- bers. We entered into our Senior year, the last lap in the run, with a mingled feeling of joy and sorrow—joy to think that soon we should be out taking a larger place in the world, and sorrow to think that soon we should be leaving High School, the center of much hap- piness during the past three years. The year has passed so quickly that we wonder how so much could have been crowded into ten short months. Under the leader- ship of Legro Pressley, as Student Body President, the work of the Student Body has been greatly improved. With Frances Payne as editor, a great change for the better was noticed in the paper. The long-standing debt on it was at last paid. It was at this time that the School Bank was organized. The boys’ record in ath- letics was kept up. The girls’ activity was changed from basketball to indoor baseball. We had several social gatherings in the form of parties. Thus the year has drawn to a close. The future alone must decide what part a class, seventy in number, and the largest to leave Santa Rosa High School, with such a glorious past, will play in the world’s work. VERA STUMP, ’17. 46 “As You Like St” | [ SURELY was not “As YOU Like It” ao but as many liked it, when on the even- ing of June 12th, the Senior Class of J 17 presented one of William Shake- speare’s most beautiful plays.. Over a thousand spectators viewed with min- gled enthusiasm, mirth, and admiration the production of the drama on the High School campus. “As You Like It,” essentially an outdoor play, was given in one of the most delightful seasons of the year. It was en- tirely a school production, as all talent came from the school. That the play was complete in every detail was due to the hearty co-operation of both students and the faculty. The charming setting of manzanita, catalpa, mag- nolia tree and shrubs, with stately trees and a velvety carpet of green, was artistically designed by Miss Ethel Abeele head of the Art Department. The mystical realm of woodland and the fascinating gardens of a palace, transported the audience from the hum-drum existence of today to the delightful and fantastic life of centuries ago. Indeed, much of the success of the play was due to the setting. The brilliant and beautiful costumes, with the exception of half a dozen, which were rented, because of the difficulty in making them, were designed en- tirely by Miss Dorothy Wilkinson, head of the Sewing Department. The costumes were made by the Mothers’ Club and the sewing classes. It was owing to the cos- tuming, complete to the smallest detail, that the brilli- ant effect was gained. All the vocal work was directed by Mr. Robert Maile, of the Music Department, who trained the choruses for the play. The orchestra was capably led by Mr. Roy Blosser. His work was much appreciated, and the effect gained was more than pleasing. The orchestra included: Milton Saare, piano; Perry Bonar, Margaret Bailey and Leonard Richardson, first violins; Ruth Feliz and Will Carithers, second violins; Leonard Talbot, flute; Harold Nielsen, clarinet; Ernest Nielsen, trombone; Orville Lambert, drums; Glen Huntington and Arthur Swanets, cornets; Shirley Ward, horn; Le- land Hodgson, bass horn. The dancing of the faries, of the shepherds and shepherdesses, and the bridal attendants, was under the supervision of Miss Annie Jones, the gymnasium in- structor. It was with remarkabe skill that the entire cast of characters portrayed their parts, while enacting this drama. Much credit is due Eleanor Howard for her charming manner in the portrayal of Rosalind, and to Ione Long for the grace with which she sustained the part of Celia. Two of the most difficult roles, those of Touchstone and Jacques, were most cleverly sustained by Franklin Sowell and Morton Farwell. The fool drew mirth and laughter from the spectators whenever he appeared, and the sage character of Jacques was greatly ad- mired. Orlando was remarkably well taken by Fred Wright, who played his part both at the court and in the forest, with much skill and ease. Arne Hanson, as Oliver, played the part unusually well. The two Dukes were difficult roles, but well ren- dered by Gilbert Trosper and Wesley Cline. Donald Carithers, playing the parts of Sir Oliver Martex and Le Beau, showed ease, while Ralph Brown, as Charles, the wrestler, acted a strong part. Walter Dayhuff and Fred Kellogg, as Dennis and Adam, servants to Oliver, supported the rest of the cast in a laudable way, and Harold Bellus, as Amicus, a lord living with the banished duke, took his part in a very natural and pleasing manner. Phoebe, the shepherdess, so sure of her charm, was portrayed by Gertrude Matthew. It was a role well supported by the attending shepherdesses, Hazel 48 Graham, Gladys Dietz, Anita Chapman, and Irene Bacigalupi. Playing opposite Phoebe was Dwight Barnett, as Sylvius, the love-sick shepherd. He showed his deep and everlasting love for his shepherdess in a most amusing way. Leonard Talbot, as Coren, a shepherd, and Orville Lambert, as William, a rough country fellow, in love with Audrey, sustained their roles with much skill; while the foresters, ladies of the court, pages and bridal attendants, in their quaint costumes, added to the at- tractiveness of the scenes. Audrey, the little country girl, and love of Touchstone, was cleverly acted by Gladys Dietz. The audience fell in love with her at once, and her small stature in contrast to that of her lover, brought forth peals of laughter. Together they won much applause. But perhaps the most important individuals in the production of a play are the director and the business manager. The former was filled by Miss Ida Moodey, dean of the High School, and it was due mainly to her untiring efforts that the play was the success it was. She was assisted by Mrs. R. M. Barrett. Legro Pressley capably managed the business problems. CAST OF CHARACTERS Duke, living’ in’ exile. 2... oss. 6.

Then poor Bernice, with Alma Eddie, With wobbly knees and steps unsteady, Harriet and Edna, calm but pale, Fell in the mouth of a passing whale. Dear Gladys Dietz we now will place, Of busy brain and saucy face, With uplift work her life she fills, And helps to lessen other’s ills. The other twin, now where is she? Not far away can Hazel be, Together work they side by side, Good cheer and hope with them abide. Anita, in a gingham dress, Spends her time raising water cress, And Evelyn with Naomi’s help, Makes lettuce salad out of kelp. Fred Kellogg started up a trade, And quite a fortune he has made, Selling thumb-tacks by the box, Thus peg-legs fasten up their sox. Since his success in the class play, Fred Wright is not the same today. So large his head is swelling that With a shoe horn he dons his hat. To politics some turned their minds, And ran for office of all kinds. The latest speaker, she’s a trump, Her name, you know it, Vera Stump. Supreme Court Judge, Sam Dougherty, Erect, with solemn dignity, Sat in the case of Long vs. Brown, The most exciting scrap in town. Ione’s three chicken broke their coop, And wandered through the tiny loop, Where Brown’s six spuds grew in a row, To feed our troops if food got low. Augusta Pedrotti, aviatrix, Is certainly in an awful fix, For she fell, while flying over the bay And sunk to the bottom, so they say. Before thee, with the Spirit’s aid, The Class of Seventeen I’ve laid. At his own work, we’ve shown to thee, Each Senior as revealed to me ! Che Last Mill and Cestament E, the class of nineteen seventeen, while yet in brilliant mind and body, and in view of the fact that the world will soon be devoid of the genius so pre- dominent among our numbers; and considering that a few of our valuable assets and characteristics as well as possessions should be handed down to posterity, and realizing that in this world of delights and disappointments we may not know when or where our weary feet shall cease their upward course on life’s pathway, do now with tremb- ling hands and unselfish hearts make our last will and testament. Knowing well that this institution of learning is, upon the removal of the Senior Class, to be deprived of the largest and most speedy portion of the school athletes, we leave their talent afore-mentioned to the Sohpomores, both girls and boys, hoping they will benefit thereby. The clever and captivating art of comedy so fre- quently found throughout our class, in many and varied forms, we leave to the Freshmen, that they may make more precocious Sophomores. Looking backward in our path of triumphal glory, we are compelled against our will to acknowledge most of the activities of our school have been instigated and headed by members of our facetious class. There- fore we bequeath said ability and power to the Faculty, requesting that they distribute it carefully throughout the remaining classes, with due consideration of our past dignity and pomp. Lastly, feeling under deep and lasting obligation to our friends the Juniors, and realizing full well that it is our bond and duty to leave something to them, after much thought and investigation, we leave them, and not without tears, Grace Shriver and Adella Burke. Our coveted and well kept desks in the rear of the Study Hall, they may have, if they are as careful of them as we have been. And now, being shorn of our powers and _ privi- ledges as a class, we make our individual wills. I, Bernice Andrews, as my end draws nigh, do be- queath my pocket-mirror and powder-puff to Bernice Showers. My ability of evading Mr. Steele in U. S. History I give to Marie Beutal. Viewing with fast dimming eyes my nearing end, I, Ralph Brown, leave all my sorrows and bitter woes to O’Meara Jordan that he may sober down.

Owing to the fact that the school will soon be minus a “Society leader,” I, Donald Carithers, wish to resign from that position, that it may be occupied by Frank Fenton. My enchanting smile and affectionate nature I leave to the same person, that it may aid him in ful- filling the requirements of that office. I, Edna Baum, leave my most marvelous messo- soprano voice to Leonora Shearer. I also bequeath my active step and green skirt to Vera Williams that she also may soon become the fashion-plate of the school.

Being in best of health and mind, I, Louis Malone, leave my boisterous manner to Art McDowell, knowing his ability as a comedian.

My conspicuous and sporty skirts I leave to Virginia Gregory. Being so quiet and in such good humor, I, Blanche Noble, leave my speed in typing to Josephine McCarthy that she may eventually finish her first lesson.

I, Orrie Myers, leave my interest in Mr. Steele to some Junior that will attempt the one hundred yard dash, and make as speedy a success as I have.

I, Gail Hawley, in looking over my possessions and attributes, will my beloved old checkered coat to Eliza- beth Pressley, knowing it will enhance her slimness. My beloved (?) bookkeeping books I leave to Mr. Me- Kesson that he may remember the pleasant days, when I studiously used them. Sadly viewing my approaching end, I Ernest Niel- sen, leave my fascinating smile and capivating dimples to Hugh Haskell to aid him in his triumph with the fair sex. The path I have faithfully worn up Beaver street I bequeath to my brother Harold, knowing he will need it on his visits to Julia. I, Isabel Bolton, realizing that I am fast growing infirm, leave my style and class to Agnes Beal, and my success in keeping thin to Janet Smith, knowing she covets it. I, Wesley Cline, leave my affection for myself to Billie Carithers. Some of my superfluous units I will to Arthur Coughey, and my olive complexion to Will Spooncer.

I, Arne Hansen, leave my yellow hair to Louis Pasvar, and my ability as a masher, I leave to Virginia Pomeroy, hoping she’ll be more merciful than I. Believing that I am in my right mind, I, Clifford Bell, leave my profile to Mary Gnesa, and my curls to Bill Wright. Being of a crazed nature, I, Powell McDonough, leave my sporty pompadour to Ral Hodgson that he may thus win his way back to the old Cadillac. I also leave my knowledge of Trig. to Roland Herbert. Seeing that an end to this world of sorrow is not far off, I, Gertrude Matthew, leave my meekness and demureness to Miriam Arnold White and Mildred Colvin, and my blue sweater to Helen Payne, if she will not stretch it. Mabel Benson may have my rose- colored hat. With much fear and terror in viewing my end, I, William Marshall, do will my quiet drawl to Vernon Silvershield. My habit of saying nothing I leave to Harold McAlpine. I, Naomi Hamner, leave my plump cheeks to Margaret Daut. The bold and audacious manner which I have shown I leave to Edna Higgeson. Viewing my approaching end with varied grief and bitterness, I, Andrew Mercer, leave my ever-ready smile to my brother; and I bequeath the strap for my books, and my knowldge of all subjects to George Hoshide.

Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen (1917). Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior Class, as and for our last will and testament. (Signed) SENIOR CLASS. Witnesses: GERTRUDE MATTHEW SUSIE MARNELL GAIL HAWLEY ISABELLA ‘SCHANK ERNEST NIELSEN MERTON MEEKER SAMUEL DOUGHERTY All Gail, Ouven Irene ! Santa Rosa High and particularly the class of ’17, felt very proud and happy when the choice of Queen of the Rose Carnival fell to Miss Irene Bacigalupi, one of the members of our illustrious class. We all felt that in beauty, grace and dignity, she was well fitted to hold sceptered sway over the City of Roses for three glorious days. And we were not disappointed, for during the Rose Carnival, a time of joy and gladness, Queen Irene reigned over her admiring and devoted subjects in a truly queenly manner. Arrayed in gorgeous robes of royalty and surrounded by a dainty court, composed of a bevy of High School girls, Irene won the love and ad- miration, not only of all her subjects, but of the many visitors to our Rose Carnival. Her reign will not soon be forgotten, nor can the class of °17 be convinced that there was ever another like it. All Hail, Queen Irene !

ORGANIZATION High Junior Class Low Junior Class President Helen Payne President Verne Smith Representatives.............. Elvira Kenworthy, Charles Ball Representatives............ Marie Albers, Harold McAlpine Class Reporter—Bernice Showers 72 Junior Class years of our High School career, and to think that next year we shall be dignified Seniors! It does not seem but a short time ago that we were called green, little Freshies, and stuttered and stammered if any one even looked at us. Our memorable Junior year began by electing Edwin Anderson, president, Dorothy Kellogg secretary, and Laura Wickham and Earl Wymore as representa- tives to the Governing Board. It was during our first term that we were delight- fully entertained at a theatre party given us by the Seniors in place of the usual Prom. We journeyed to the Cline theatre, where a section was reserved for us. After the show the Seniors took us to the “Sugarie,” where dainty refreshments were enjoyed. Our second term began by electing Edwin Ander- son president, Helen Payne vice-president, Walter Day- huff secretary, and Charles Ball and Elvira Kenworthy as representatives. These officers of our class did their work well, and represented the class most faithfully. About three months before the close of school, our president, Edwin Anderson, moved to Marysville, so our vice-president, Helen Payne, assumed his position, and ably carried out her duties. Those who were low Juniors this term elected TW: JUNIORS, we have come to the end of three Verne Smith president, Mae Bradford secretary, Harold McAlpine and Marie Albers as representatives. In addition to their social and athletic activities, the Juniors were also busy along journalistic lines, editing the High School “Weekly” on May 24th. The editor asked the different classes to edit the paper dif- ferent weeks, so we Juniors had a_ meeting, and elected Laura Wickham editor, with Helen Payne and Harold McAlpine as_ assistants; Marion Peterson, exchange editor; Earl Wymore, joke editor; and Clarence Cooper athletic editor. In boy’s athletics during our last semester we had Warren Gray in track and baseball; Fay Hiatt, Frank O’Connor, and Andrew Lagan in baseball; George Bar- nett, Clarence Cooper, and Harold McAlpine in track. Our last social affair was the Prom. we gave the Seniors, held about the middle of June. Judging by the gratification expressed by the Seniors for our “As You Like It” party, we Juniors thought that we must have been ideal hosts and hostesses. And so our Junior year closes! Certainly it will never be forgotten ! But though, as Juniors, we have had many good times, and have accomplished great things, we willingly leave our title of Juniors to the “Sophs.” and more willingly assume the title of Seniors.

Marylee Patton, Reynolds Dunbar Class Reporter—Marylee Patton 74 Sophomore Class age OR OVER twenty years, from my position as the highest pinnacle of the Santa Rosa High School building, I have been able to watch the various classes and generations advance from timid Freshmen to the blase Senior. Of all these classes the one most full of “pep” and the “let’s-put-it-through” spirit isthe Sophomore class which graduates in 19. Among the various groups on the campus I soon distinguished certain ones who always seemed to have a plan to help the school, or who were boosting for a track or field meet. From careful observance and list- ening, I found them to be the Sophomore class. The first event they became interested in was a picnic. When I heard this discussed I was very doubt- fut and wondered if they realized that it was mid- winter. I would have warned them, but they would not listen. Plans went on rapidly, and one evening I was aroused from a dose by laughing and talking in the court below. The Sophomores were there for their picnic! It was held in the Annex gymnasium, and it certainly must have been a wonderful time from the descriptions which floated up to me the follownig Mon- day. The old picnic games were played, and after the great big picnic lunch, dancing was enjoyed. The music was furnished by Homer Percy, Orville Lambert and Milton Saare, who offered their talent to the com- mittee in return for some of the “eats.” After Christmas half of the class, armed with E report cards, and led by Warren Gray, advanced on the retreating Juniors and took their places in those ranks. The girl athletes are not to be scorned by any means. A girls track meet was held in the Spring, and they certainly showed the fellows a few pointers. From my vantage point I watched it all with intense excitement, only wishing that I could join the yells with the Sophomores. Of course my old class won, thanks a great deal to Gracie Myers, who did the fast sprinting. Bess Godman also showed up fine, {aking the high hurdles like a professional. To add to all this the Sophomores are exception- ally brilliant in their studies, usually taking first place in all classes. To prove this you have only to test their English ability by the fact that Helen Crane wrote the yell which received second prize in the school yell contest. Or if this isn’t enough, just glance over the Sophomore issue of the “Weekly.” To sum it up, in all the years that I have watched the students of this institution, I have never seen a class more full of school spirit and genuine sense than the illustrious class of 19. SARAH FISK, ’19. FRESHMEN CLASS Organization Margaret Stump Irene Davis Representatives........ Mildred Button, Reynolds Dunbar Class Reporter Juilliard McDonald Freshmen Class UR FRESHMEN year is over! Although we are now more than proud to call ourselves Sopho- mores, we look back upon our first year with pleasure. In spite of the fact, that the Sophomores, and even Juniors and Seniors, made us do all sorts of queer stunts the first few weeks, we must thank them for the kind welcome and reception they gave us into Santa Rosa High School. Their good will was first shown by their ready assis- tance, in helping us to arrange our course properly; then by that “never-to-be-forgotten” Freshmen Recep- tion. We were told that it was the first reception ever held in the afternoon, and the first when every student took part and had the “time of their lives.” A few weeks later the Junior and Senior Girls’ Organization gave a reception for the Freshmen girls. Each Freshie was protected at this party by one of her superiors, who saw to it that her charge got her share of introductions, dances, and “eats.” Those “big girls” certainly know what we like to eat and drink, because they had plenty of candy sticks and punch. At the beginning of the Spring term, a reception was held for the entering class. It was one of the largest classes that ever entered at the Spring term; there being over seventy members. This reception was also held in the afternoon; side shows, a program, and “eats” being the chief attractions, Ed Neuman represented our class on the real track team, doing some fine work in the pole vault. It looks as if it will be up to our class to furnish many of the athletes in the coming years, as commencement takes the larger majority of the fellows on the team this year. We had several men out for the boys’ Interclass Meet, but we were obliged to be satisfied with fourth place. Will Spooncer starred for us in both baseball and basketball. We were proud to have a Freshie on the first basketball team, which received so many laurels last season. Although most of the social activities of the school are given for and by the upper-classmen, we feel that we were given our share of them, too.. Now that we can truly call ourselves Sophomores, having passed the first milestone toward our goal (the sheepskin), we are certain that we have grown at least a foot, that our trousers or skirts have lengthened in proportion, that we can discard hair ribbons or comb our hair in a pompadour, and that our heads are considerably en- larged by the knowledge gained during that happy and memorable Freshman year.

Organizations Che Assnriated Student Body OFFICERS Legro Pressley Orville Lambert Second Vice-President..................... era Evelyn Laughlin 4 The past year has been a very successful one for the Associated Student Body, and we have felt that the old saying “In Union There is Strength” has been real- ized this year. For the students have supported their organization better than ever before; the members of the Governing Board have usually been in attendance at the meetings, and have handled the Student Body problems promptly and with good judgment. In a word they have endeavored conscientiously to repre- sent those who elected them, and t o represent the sentiments of the students in any step that was under- taken. Irene Nathanson Miss Koepke _..Mr. I. D. Steele Secretary Treasurer Faculty Representative During their term of office, the officers have tried to carry out the purpose of this organization, which was formed for the development, promotion and regula- tionof all student activities and interests of the school; which aimed to make of the Student Body a unit and thus to enable us to hold our place in the High School world. To do this we have had to have funds, and our only way of obtaining them was through the Student Body By becoming a member, as practically every one in the school has done, you have helped the organization, which is your organization, to fulfill its purpose. But though you have supported this organization financially, have you done so in the spirit? Have you turned out to the games and helped Santa Rosa’s athletes win the laurels they have? Many of you have not, finding it hard to spare a few hours to attend the games and considering you have done all that is requir- ed of you by paying your dues. If you are willing to let it stand thus, compare your spirit with that of the fellows who spend months training, that Santa Rosa may rank as it does. Though our meetings have improved in attend- ance, our old trouble of not enough students express- ing their own opinion at the sessions of the Governing Board is still prevalent. This thing should be eradi- cated. But in spite of this, our meetings on the whole have been interesting, and to the students who have made them so, and to those who have supported me, T extend thanks. LEGRO PRESSLEY. Governing Board Excellent work has been performed by the legis- lative body of this High School, during both the Fall term of 1916, and the Spring term of 1917. We were greatly pleased by having two other High Schools, Fort Bragg and Sonoma, ask us for information concerning the method of governing the activities of our school by the students. The success of our Student Body government is not only recognized by the students of cur school, but by the student bodies of other schools, whose organizations have been failures. The result of the election for the Student Body officers for the fall term was as follows: Legro Pressley, President; Peter Maroni, First Vice-President; Vera Stump, Second Vice-President; Miss Millie, Treas- urer; Irene Nathanson, Secretary. They carried on the work in a most business-like and conscientious man- ner, and proved very regular in their attendance at the meetings. After supporting the basketball team during a busy season, the Board felt able to purchase twelve new suits to be used for basketball and track. These suits have been badly needed, but until this year the school had not felt that they could afford them. The one benefit given for the Student Body and “Weekly,” was in the form of minstrels and an oleo. It was a great success, swelling our treasury quite ma- terially. There were a very small number of the students who failed to pay their dues this year. On October 12th a program was given, during one of the recita- tion periods, for the members of the Student Body only. A similar program was held during the begin- ning of the Spring term. Practically every one paid his dues before these programs. It was toward the end of the fall term that the Governing Board sent delegates from the High School paper to attend the first convention of the California High School Press Association. Our editor, Frances Payne and her assi stant, Irene Nathanson attended the convention, which was held at Oakland. A convention of Student Body Presidents was also lately held at San Jose, in which our school was represented by Legro Pressley. These conventions were very successful, and lhave proved very beneficial to the activities of the school, as the delegates learn what other schools are doing along certain lines, exchange views and discuss difficulties which they encounter in their particular field. The result of the election for Student Body officers for the Spring term was as follows: Legro Pressley, President; Orville Lambert, First Vice-President; Evelyn Laughlin, Second Vice-President; Miss Millie, Treasurer; and Irene Nathanson, Secretary. Owing to the illness of Miss Millie, which prevented her from teaching for the remainder of the semester, Miss Koepke was elected by the Governing Board to fill her position as treasurer. Thus the work for the year closes, the members of the Governing Board feeling that they have repre- sented the Student Body to the best of their ability. Their parting -wish is that the boards of the coming years will be as successful in their work as they have been, and enjoy representing and working for S. R. H. S as much as they. Che Senior-Junior Girls’ Organization HE PAST YEAR has been a busy one for the Girls’ Organization. Several big affairs, including a reception to the Freshmen, a “vodvil,” a Christ- mas tree entertainment, a candy sale, a high jinks, a girls’ interclass track meet, and a tea, were given by the organization, and proved most successful, both socially and financially. In September, a reception was given to the girls of the Freshmen class by the upper-class girls. The Freshmen girls were escorted by their elders to the gymnasium where an informal dance was given in their honor. Punch and sticks of green and white candy were served. Altogether, it was a very delightful after- noon for all. By the skillful management of our president, a re- turn engagement of the Noddy Noodle Vodvil Com- pany was secured for October. All of the girls of the Junior and Senior High, their mothers, and the faculty were invited. A small admission fee was charged, and about twenty dollars was collected with which the “Weekly” office was improved. This was in accord with the purpose of the organization which was formed for the improvement of the building and campus, and to allow the girls to become better acquainted, socially. Shortly before the Christmas vacation, the Senior and Junior girls met in the music room where a Christ- mas tree was decorated, in all its splendor, for their enjoyment. A short program, including a colonial dance, by Virginia Pomeroy, a recitation by Dorothy Kellogg, a record on the Victrola, and a recitation, “The Spellin’ Season,” by Laura Wickham, was enjoy- ed. Then Santa Claus appeared. “He” was a jolly old fat fellow, who distributed candy and toys and animals from his northern home. We were indeed sorry when Santa told us “Good-bye.” A candy sale was given one day in January to pay off the remainder of the debt on the paper. The students responded generously, and almost twenty dol- lars was cleared, making it possible to wipe out the paper debt. The Girls’ Jinks, in February, was a grand success. People from all lands and of all nationalities were there. Although no boys were allowed, “men” were numerous. Ten big side shows and dancing took every- body’s attention, when the “greatest vodvil in cap- tivity,’ began. It included a scenario, a play without words, a movie, a skit, “The Crystal Gazers,” a comic- tragedy, “Bianca,” which brought forth peals of laugh- ter, and a fashion show. At eleven o’clock every one rushed down stairs where dainty refreshments were served which ended an evening of rollicking fun and pleasure. In April, the Girls’ Interclass Field Meet was held for the purpose of starting a tennis court fund. Much enthusiasm was aroused, and the entire school was out to witness the events. Grace Myers was the star of the meet, and “Mr. Steele,” impersonated by Frances Payne, was coach. The class standing was as follows: Sophomores—First place, 37 points. Juniors—Second place, 29 points. Freshmen—tThird place, 23 points. Seniors—Fourth place, 10 points. To our delight, thirty dollars was cleared, which was set away as the beginning of our tennis court fund. “A Spanish Afternoon” was greatly enjoyed by the members of the organization in June. Mrs. Finlaw gave a very enteresting talk, that was much appreciated by the girls, and refreshments, in keeping with the nature of the entertainment, were served at the close of the lecture. So the record of the work of the organization for this year closes. The girls have been very busy and have shown much interest in all school activities; and that this will continue to be the keynote of the organ- ization is the wish of the Senior girls who are now leaving it. The organization officers for the first term: President—Frances Payne. Vice-President—Evelyn Laughlin. Secretary-Treasurer—Vera Stump. The organization officers for the second term: President—Irene Nathanson. Vice-President—Laura Wickham. Secretary-Treasurer—Roene Emery. Che S. KR. FH. S. Weekly The success of our school paper during the past year has been far from “weakly.” Under the capable supervision of our editor-in-chief, Frances Payne, to- gether with the aid of an efficient corps of assistants, our paper is a publication of great merit. The paper shows wonderful improvement, since its first appear- ance three years ago. Not only are its columns full of local items of interest to all, but they are well written in a snappy, interesting style. This year many special issues have been edited; the “Humoreske,” “Peda- gogue,” “Ye Nu Style” issue (otherwise known as the slang edition) and the “Patriotic” and “Sport” issues being the copies most original and pleasing. Nor is the improvement in the editorial work the only gain made during the past year. The finances of the “Weekly” have been managed in a very creditable manner. At the beginning of the school year a debt of nearly two hundred dollars had accumulated against the school publication. With the co-operation of the Student Body in the benefits given for the paper during the year, the debt has been entirely paid. When the new staff take their places next year they will find the “Weekly” free from all debt, and by careful manage- ment they will be able to keep it so. Our Orchestra The S. R. H. S. Orchestra, an organization of dili- gent members, has done very creditable work this last year. New players, music, and a recently new in- structor have all added to the merit of this society. Every member who has had Mrs. Mills for con- ductor and teacher, was sorry when she found that more pressing duties pertaining to her position, would not permit her to further direct the orchestra. The re- gret of all concerned was somewhat allayed, however, when it became known that Mr. Roy Blosser was to fill the vacancy. He has made an excellent reputation for himself in this rather trying position, and the wish of all is that he shall remain in the same capacity for some time to come. The members, particularly the ever welcome “new recruits,” have made the organization worth while, and this last term when in the “wee sma’ hours” they were required to appear for forty-five minutes of practicing and instruction, very few, if any, have disappointed Mr. Blosser in being there every Tuesday and Thursday morning. An effort must be made to keep up this musical representation of S. R. H. S. A number of the best and most experienced players are graduating this year, and their places must be filled. It can be done if every one who plays an orchestra instrument will co- operate with those who remain. The Student Body has shown its appreciation of the progress made, on the occasions when the orchestra has appeared, and all will wish to help to make our orchestra an even better one. This is possible if every one who can will volun- teer for the work. Since last June very little playing has been done before the Student Body, but when it appeared for the Senior play this year, every one present noticed the improvement over last year. Overtures, difficult music at all times, were rendered, and the playing that was required for the play itself was given in a manner fitting for the occasion. The members for the last year are practically the same as before, with the exception of the before men- tiond new comers. They are as follows: Violins—Perry Bonar, Leonard Richardson, Ruth Feliz, Elaine Nielsen, Marguerite Bailey. Flute—Leonard Talbot. Piano—Milton Saare. Cornets—Arthur Swanets, Gl en Huntington. French Horn—Shirley Ward. Clarinet—Harold Nielsen. Banjo—Will Carithers. Trombone—Ernest Nielsen. Bass—Leland Hodgson. Drums—Orville Lambert Che Band The Santa Rosa High School Band this year has been the best ever. All the members have good instru- ments, and with Mr. Blosser as leader, the band has done faithful work, practicing every Monday, Wednes- day and Friday for forty-five minutes. The band has made such an excellent start this year, it is hoped that the Board of Education will become interested and buy us a few instruments. The members of the class have been very consci- entious about their work, and have proved capable of playing any kind of music. No overture that the band has taken up has proved too much for its members. “The Old Red Mill,” one of the most difficult overtures, was rendered at the Teachers’ Institute. That the boys’ work was appreciated was evident from the applause which followed the rendition. Music has made great progress in the last few years throughout the United States. The heads of schools are just beginning to realize what a very great asset music is to any school. In some of the larger cities special music instructors have been engaged. Where before music was a side issue, it is now recognized as one of the most interesting and helpful subjects taught; where before it did not receive any standing, it now is given full credit. It is realized that a band is a credit, and aid to a school. Our own band has proved this. Its members have repeatedly played for our rallies, our assemblies and social centre. This year has been the best the band has ever seen. Unfortunately, many of our best players, such as Leland Hodgson, Ernest Nielsen, Gilbert Trosper and Orville Lambert are graduating this June. But we are consoled by the fact that others will take their places and by diligent practicing become a credit to the band. The members of the band are: Solo Cornets—Babe Huntington, Gilbert Trosper. First Cornets—Jeff Forgett, Frank Sowell, Arthur Swanets. Seconds Cornets—Mervin Colbroth, George Leppo, Rex Lieurance, Armund Saare. Cello—Shirley Ward, Castle Hall. Trombone—Ernest Nielsen. Bass Horns, Leland Hodgson, John Greott. Clarinets—Steve McTigue, Harold Nielson. Baritones—Albert Albera, Verne Lonelt. Drums—Orville Lambert, Jack Gardner. Schonl Savings Bank On December 8, 1916, the students of Santa Rosa High School inaugurated a School Savings Bank. The plan was made more feasible by the aid of the Santa Rosa National Bank, which helped us toward carrying on a bank of our own, and much gratitude is due the members of that institution for their interest. Many difficulties presented themselves at first; it vas thought that the accounts would become dormant, and enthusiasm would wane after the first novelty of the affair had ceased. This and all other fears ap- peared to be groundless, however, when the accounts continually increased, as did interest in the bank, and the number of depositors. Perhaps this was due to the timely little talks of Mrs. Jacobi, to the boosting given the bank by the “Weekly,” and perhaps to the co-oper- ation of the students, who, though many placed only small deposits, kept steadily at it, and no doubt they have now a very encouraging sum. : The first day of the opening of the Bank there were one hundred and sixty-seven depositors, and the deposits ammounted to $227.54, Five weeks later there 207 depositors, and $1,047.65 of deposits. At the be- ginning of the 1917 term, February 12th, there were 220 depositors with an average of about $1.58 each. Advice was given to the Freshmen then, and they walked right up with their pennies, and made a name for them- selves. As for the directors, the officers are: President, Mrs. Portia Jacobi; Cashier and Secretary of Board of Directors, Lester Whitaker, Assistant Cashiers, Mildred Bucknum and Frank Fenton. They have held two meetings; the first on January 16th, when Mr. H. J. Loughery, Assistant Cashier of the Santa Rosa National Bank, and Secretary of the Santa Rosa Clearing House, addressed them. His talk concerned the duties of the officers and the bank in general. The second meeting was held on March 14th, following a remarkable week at the bank, since the deposits of the bank were $197. At the director’s meeting, Mr. W. C. Grant gave a talk on the object of Savings Banks, which was very help- ful. Considering the balance on deposit, and_ the amount being deposited, very few withdrawals have taken place. Of course at Christmas time, large sums of money were drawn; and why not, since that is why we are saving? And again at the beginning of the new term, money was taken out to some extent, be- cause we simply had to buy our books; they are part of our existence. But this was not a serious set-back, for the accounts grew, as did the number of depositors. Monday seems to be a good day for the bank, possibly because of money saved during the past week, and possibly due to weekly wages turned in. The common idea held by many students at the beginning of the bank term, that small deposits were not welcome and not worth while, was soon corrected, and small sums have continually kept coming in. It will be remember- ed that a package of gum costs five cents, and the money saved from two or three packages a week amounts to much more than the gum would. Many have discovered this. The School Savings Bank is essentially part of our school life and interest, and occupies a large place in our school activities. Like our other school units, it must be kept going with continuous enthusiasm and interest, and its importance not forgotten. In doing so our other activities need neither be neglected nor allowed to waver, but we must consider them all. One great lesson will be and perhaps already has been taught by the Savings Bank, and that is to save. Thus we hope and feel certain that the next gener- ations of citizens of Santa Rosa will be one of wealthy capitalists, rich agriculturalists, and thrifty tradesmen and women. Therefore—Boost for the Santa Rosa High School Savings Bank ! First—last—and always ! ! Che Book Exchange The Book Exchange, a new branch of our school organization, has proved itself a very successful de- partment. This department was started at the beginning of the Fall term, and although it was not thoroughly or- ganized at that time, it was of such help to the Student Body that we wondered how we ever did without it. There were several hundred books exchanged during the year and nearly fifty dollars was turned into the 87 Student Body treasury from the commissions received A five cent cammission was received for all books sold under fifty cents, a ten cent commission for all books sold between fifty cents and a dollar, ete. All the students seemed very well satisfied with this arrange- ment, and it certainly saved them much time and trouble. Next year with this new branch thoroughly organized there should be many more books handled, and even more money turned into our Student Body treasury. Arhating We can truthfully say that this year has been our most progressive year in debating. Though we have won no honor and fame, for we debated no outside school, yet as a clas s of good, conscientious workers, we could not be excelled. At the begining of the year, a class for debating was organized. At the first meeting an election was held, and at that time Mr. Montgomery consented to be coach for the year. The other officers were, Edwin Anderson, President; Edna Stevens, Vice-President; Vera Stump, Secretary; and Charles Ball, Escort. Un- der the very able leadership of these officers, the class prospered and grew. The principle of the work, as- signed for the year, was, first, concentration in study and the way to seck material; secondly, selecting the main points and preparing the debate; and thirdly, delivery, position, reflection, ete. In addition to this programme, many new and in- teresting ideas were carried out. For instance, at each meeting, judges and critics were appointed by the president to point out to the speakers the points in which they were weak, and thus to improve the critics and judges by their own criticisms. It was with keen regret that the class was forced to disband in the early spring, due to an epidemic of mumps. So many of the members of the class were busy making up back work that it was deemed best to discontinue the class altogether. This was done; but we hope next year to have debating on our school schedule, and to make it one of our most prominent school activities. Agricultural Clih This year we hope to make a record year in the Agricultural Club. All the members of the club have sowed their crops, and are going in with a zeal and determination which can mean nothing but success. Not only has each member planted his acre of corn, required in the growing contest, but each has several extra acres which he is growing in the hope of meeting demand for food and to lower the high cost of living. Last year marked the establishment of the Agri- cultural Club in our High School, and in spite of the fact it was a dry year, the fellows were able to get their crop in and keep them growing. Frank Santa Cruse, Leonard Talbot and Samuel Kauffman proved to be the lucky fellows who raised the best crops, and so from November 12th to 15th, 1916, they attended the Davis convention of the Agricultural Clubs of California at the University Farm School at Davis, California. Many special features were prepared for the delegates, and needless to say the three days were greatly enjoyed by the fellows. Following this encampment at Davis, the delegates were taken by special train to Berkeley, where the prize winners were presented with medals by Prsident Wheeler of the University of California. When the delegates disbanded, the prize winners were sent on a five weeks tour of the continent, in which Samuel Kauffman represented the Santa Rosa Agri- cultural Club. The tour was one long to be remem- bered by those who went, and we hope our club will be able to send its prize winner on the 1917 tour. We have now enrolled in the club nine boys who have actually planted their crops, and though the mem- bership is not as large as we would like to have it, still it shows an improvement over 1916. We hope, since we have this very beneficial organ- ization in the school, that its ranks will steadily in- crease, that its members will do their best to make this club the best of its kind in the State, and that each year Santa Rosa may be able to send a prize winner on the transcontinental tour. AGRICULTURAL CLUB Alumni The graduates of Santa Rosa High are training themselves in many higher institutions of learning. Among them are to be found teachers, stenographers, doctors and even lawyers: There are dozens of recent high school students whose whereabouts are unknown, but the list of names and occupations of those who are known is sufficently large to show the variety of occu- pations that graduates from our High School enter. Probably the majority of the girls of the classes of 15 and °16 are attending the San Jose Normal School. They are as follows: Juanita Melvin ’15, Mil- dred Kyle 15, Edith Kyle 715, Mildred Richardson °15, Fay Erwin 715, Aileen Randal 15, Bernice Roe 715, Hazel Ramage °15, Ruth Lambert ’15, Ruth Todd °15, Vivian Bolton 15 and Elma Quimby 15; Dorothy Wright °16, Edith Coffey ’16, Elgy McIntosh °16, Frances Finley °16, Helen Finley ’16, Winifred Burke 716, Catherine Crane 16, Bernadette Hehir °16, Gladys Sherman ’16.

Lucy Brewer °16 and Myrtle Read ’16 have suc- cessfully passed the teachers’ county examination. Exchanges The Exchange Department ought to be the biggest kind of a help to the staff of a school paper, and yet, I think as a general thing, no one ever looks at the Exchange column unless it is to see whether or not his own paper is mentioned. Why not read the criticisms of some other papers, too? You could undoubtedly obtain some very valuable hints from them. In most of the papers the Exchange Department is tucked off in some out-of-the-way place and is not deemed very important. How are we to know whether we are good, bad or indifferent if we do not compare ourselves with others? To obtain new ideas and see what other schools were doing, I took a trip around the United States. My first stop was at Athens, Ohio, and through the “Megaphone” of the Athens High School heard of the activities of a live bunch. My next stop was at Milledgeville, Georgia. “The Future Citizen,” published by the Reformatory Boys, is certainly a paper with a purpose. Their Question Box Department is a fine idea. Going on to Greenville, S. C., I was very much in- terested in “The Nantilus,” especially the editorial on Wilson, the Man of the Ages. The mention of your advertisers is good, but why use it so extensively? Stopping next at Tampa, Florida, I visited the “Red and Black” of the Hillsboro High School. This paper gives plenty of space to athletics and the boys are sure winners. Would it not improve your appear- ance, however, to place your ads in the back rather than on the front of your book? Turning north, my next stop was at Troy, N. Y. I spent a few minutes with “The Polytechnic” and en- joyed it very much. The calling out of the National Guards troops has taken a number of the students and in this way has effected the various activities. Going farther north, to Manchester, Vermont, I visited “The Burtonian.” “The Burtonian” has a de- partment that is unusual in a school paper; one which is connected with the work of the Y. M. C. A- and the Y. W. C. A. of the students. “IT saw “The Early Trainer,” from Lawrence, Mass., a very clever little magazine. I was told by “Wireless” of the new Dedham High School now being constructed. If their building equals their paper, they will have reason to be proud of it. The Lawrence High School “Budget” gives a fine poetry corner, and their idea of advertising is fine. Spring fever was in the air when I arrived at Mil- waukee, Wis. Through the “Tattler” I heard quite a “Dissertation on Spring” Its literary department and cuts are fine. The Honor Roll for each month is good also. Bidding good-bye to the “Tattler,” I started back California. Arriving there, my first stop was at I heard a few chirps from “The Lark” and “Visalia News” is one of ’Nuf sed! Going to San Jose, I visited the “Herald.” He was as witty and clever as ever. to Gardena. then hurried on to Visalia. the best weeklies that I saw. I then ran over to Los Gatos and visited the “Mon- tezuma Daily,” which is published five days of the week by the students of the Montezuma Ranch School for the boys near Los Gatos. The paper gives the school news of the day to everyone on the Ranch, and its size is its principal failing. “The San Mateo High” was very good as much as there was of it, but smaller printing would greatly im- prove your apperance. While enjoying myrself in this locality I received a message to hurry home, so had only time to say “hello” to the “Daily Palo Alto” and the “Daily Californian.” Stopping in Oakland, however, I was much inter- 93 ested in the mid-term “Aegis,” especially the story, “The Horrors of the Unknown,” written by Joan Lon- don, daughter of the late Jack London. I also enjoyed a short stop at “The Green and Gold” of Fremont High in Oakland. Their articles were well written, of interest and showed plenty of “pep.” I forgot to mention I made quite a stay at the Uni- versity Farm at Davis, where “Agricola” gave me a dandy time. Their departments were very interesting. Receiving urgent calls to return home, I resisted long enough to pay a fleeting visit to “Stray Leaves” of Grass Valley High. For a beginner, their weekly is very good indeed. Their joke department is espe- cially clever and original. “The Analy Student,” our neighbor, as a_bi- monthly, is also to be congratulated. Their material is good, but don’t you think jokes would add to its en- joyment? By this time I just had to return, and as I was really getting homesick, I hastened with all speed back tO) Sykes ego; wWeekily: THE HIGH JUMP N THE TRACK 2 94 Crark The Meets HIS YEAR the closing of school brings to an end J one of the most successful seasons of our school athletics. We have participated in many meets, and due greatly to Mr. Steele’s untiring training, our boys have brought home many laurels. The students, too, have shown a more marked spirit of co-operation and loyalty than in years gone by, and have turned out in large numbers to root and cheer our fellows to victory. We hope that the reputation Santa Rosa High has gained will be bettered with each year and that track will continue to offer attractions for lower classmen. A review of the season just ended follows: Inter-Class The season started with the annual Interclass Field Meet. Again the °17’ers, who now hold the cup for three successful years, took first honors. The Sopho- mores were the closest competitors, with the Juniors pulling third place. The Freshmen did well, getting eleven points. Myers, of the Senior class, was the high score man, winning every one of the 2114 points for which he con- tested. Weeks came as a close second with 17 out of 20 possible points. McReynolds was third with 1314 out of 2114 points, while Cooper followed with 1034 out of 2114 points. Moore was the big surprise of the Interclass meet by winning the mile. He had rarely been out for prac- tice, but he gives every indication of becoming a good runner. Lick-Wilmerding Dual In the meet with Lick-Wilmerding, S. R. H. S. easily carried off the honors by a score of 79 to 68 points. Weeks of Santa Rosa proved to be high score man, taking 15 points out of a possible 1614, while his team-mate, Myers, was a close second, with 13 points out of a possible 15. Weeks, in addition to being high score man, succeeded in breaking his own and the coast High School record in the discuss throw, when he hurled it 127 feet 2 inches. Oakland Dual S. R. H. S. again first. This time we trimmed the Oakland boys by a score of 6414 to 5734. Our vic- tory was a big surprise to the Oakland fellows, who confidently expected to bring home the honors them- selves. Again Myers and Weeks were our stars, TRACK TEAM 96 Myers making 15 points out of a possible 1614, Weeks winning 13. If accidents had not befallen other members of our team, we would undoubtedly have made a higher score. Mallory was laid up for a time as a result of injury sustained while practicing for the pole vault, and dur- ing the meet Cooper sprained his ankle while high jumping. We missed his points, both in this event and in the broad jump. Nevertheless in spite of these mishaps we defeated the Oakland team, and this should be realized as an honor, for they are considered one of the fastest and best schools around the bay. NG: Sof: the: €.:1. FE: At the annual track and field meet of North Coast Section of the California Interscholastic Federation held on the Stanford Oval on Saturday, April 14th, we sent down four fellows, who all took a place. Sowell won the high jump by a leap of 5 feet 64 inches. Myers, not feeling quite A No. 1, only succeeded in taking fourth in the 100-yard dash. Lamore tied for fourth place in the pole vault, while Lambert got fourth in the eight pound shot. S: N.S. C.A LL. Though somewhat weakened with Weeks out of the meet and Myers laid up with a sprained back, the team went to St. Helena with the hopes of “coping” for first honors. But for nearly the first time in the history of our school, our athletes failed to bring back the laurels. At the end of the meet the score stood: Healdsburg, 3914 points; Vallejo, 3024 points, Analy, 2944 points, and Santa Rosa 22% points. Northwest C. I. F. The Northwest C. I. F. meet held at the Santa Rosa race track, was one of the largest and most successful held under the auspices of our school. Through the Rose Carnival, our own school spirit, and the co-opera- tion of the Chamber of Commerce, it was a great suc- cess. But though it was very successful, we were not, and this proved a sad day for old S. R. H. S. But cheer up, for though we were unable to take high hon- ors then, we'll soon be as strong as ever; for the lower classmen are showing up well, and with training will soon be in fine shape. The fellows coming into High from the Annex are bringing good material with them, and show every indication of becoming stars. But to return to the meet. Williamson of Analy was the individual star of the day. He won the half, the quarter, and the broad jump. Myers was second individual star, winning the 100- yard dash, the 220-yard dash, and getting second in the broad jump. The results of the meet were: Ukiah 4114 points Analy 3114 points, Tamalpais, 29 points; Healdsburg, 24 points; Petaluma, 19 points; Santa Rosa, 141% points. BASKETBALL TEAM Basketball There was much enthusiasm and interest shown in basketball this season, the boys showing up well for practice and the students turning out to cheer. Man- ager McDowell sent out an early call for fellows in- terested in basketball and before there were many prac- tices a large number were ready for training. Myers, Gemetti, Pressley and Mallory came back to their old stunts of twirling the ball and they sure put some “pep” into the game. Myers, our captain, although an old veteran, played better ball than ever before. In all the games he was quick and fast and put life into them. The first game of the season was played with our neighbor, Sonoma. This team was our victim § in 1914, 1915, but in 1916 the tables turned and we were de- feated by a score of 31-36.

Our manager, Edward McDowell, should also be congratulated for arranging such a snappy schedule of games. Basrhall S. R. H. S. vs. Petaluma. The season opened with a victory for Petaluma on their home grounds. O’Connor, who pitched the first six innings, hurled good balls, but a tendency to wildness proved his undoing. Lagan then took the mound, and in one, two, three order, the boys went marching back. The score: Batteries—S. R. H. S.—O’Connor, Lagan and Gray; P. H. S.—Peterson and Moimboise. S. R.-H. S. vs. Petaluma. A victory for S. R. H. S. on Petaluma’s home grounds. Individual playing was the feature of the game. Lagan in home runs, Maroni in stolen bases and walks; Gemetti in sacrifice hits. Lagan proved himself a Ty Cobb in this game. He fanned twenty men, got two home runs, a triple base hit and a double base hit in four times at bat. Maroni had a great day on the paths, stealing nine bases. The score: Battries—S. R. H. S.—Lagan and Gray. P. H. S.—Dabner and Moimboisse. S. R. H. S. vs. Sonoma. A victory over Sonoma on their home grounds. Lagan pitched his usual fine game of ball, striking out twelve men. Gray was there with the old mitt behind the bat. Maroni was back at his old game of stealing bases. The score: Batteries S. R. H. S.—Lagan and Gray. S. R. H. S. has been rather handicapped because of the lack of a home diamond to play on. Neverthe- less, she has always accepted the challenge of any High School. BASEBALL TEAM Girls’ Athletics Baskrthall Basketball this year has not been a very great suc- cess. There has been a lack of enthusiasm and interest on the part of both the Student Body and the basket- ball girls themselves. The girls’ basketball team has been considered either as a joke or as a foolish enter- prise which must be tolerated. And there was no rea- son for this! There were plenty of girls, so numbers cannot be our excuse. We were given the gymnasium for practice on Monday and Wednesday, and Miss Jones kindly consented to act as coach. In spite of this and the endeavors of Ora Caldwell, the captain, the girls failed to respond, so basketball was, for a time, dropped. Later in the semester, however, a few of the girls organized an athletic club, calling themselves the B. O. B.’s. They practiced quite regularly, with Miss Jones coaching, and played several games. January 31, the B. O. B.’s played their first game with the Business College, but met defeat by a score of 16 to 10. The line-up for the B. O. B.’s was: Ange- lene Lepori, Helen Payne, forwards; Laura Wickham, Helen Hanson, centers; Edith Price, Rosalind Baciga- lupi, guards. The Business College line-up was: C. Meek, J. Allen, forwards; Z. Delk, E. Lepori, centers; Cappoddle and Llanette, guards. February 14th, another game was played between the two teams, this time the B. O. B.’s being the victors by the score of 21 to 9. The line-up was the same as given. Soon after they played the St. Helena girls, but were badly defeated. They were somewhat consoled, however, by the fact that this was the first time they had played with an outside team. On February 20th they were victorious over the I. C. E. girls by a score of 14 to 13. This proved to be one of the fastest and most excitin g games they played On March 6th a return game was played, but they were not successful in their competition and were losers by the narrow margin of 17 to 19. These have been the few games which have been played during the year. Perhaps not a very fine record, but credit should certainly be given to the few who have made it. INDOOR BASEBALL When the girls decided to give up basketball, they asked permission from the Governing Board to substi- tute indoor baseball for it. This was granted January 9th, also an indoor baseball and bat. In playing, the players followed the regular indoor baseball rules and practiced twice a week. Laura Wickham was elected as captain, and Agenlene Lepori as manager. For the first few weeks many girls took a great interest in the new sport, and turned out regularly, but like most of our girls’ athletics, interest in it soon lagged, and less and less turned out for practice. This was partly due to the fact that we could not practice until four o’clock, and many of the girls were obliged to leave before. INTERCLASS FIELD MEET The first Girls’ Interclass Field Meet ever held at Santa Rosa High, was pulled off on April 3rd, on the school track. The purpose of the meet was to start a fund for the building of tennis courts. The following were chosen as managers of their Senior Manager, Frances Payne; Junior Man- ager, Laura Wickham; Sophomore Manager, Marylee Patton; Freshmen Manager, Pearl Tycke. Irene Nath- class: anson acted as score keeper, Legro Pressley as time- keeper, and Miss Jones, Miss Moodey, Miss Crane, and Miss Wilkinson as judges. The field meet was interesting from start to finish, and practically the whole school turned out to see it. The athletesses’ were all in middies and bloomers, and all had names of popular boy athletes pinned on their backs. Their letter S with their numeral were pinned on the front of their suits. Gracie Myers was the star of the meet, and also of the Sophomore class. Margaret Stump and Julia Greott starred for the Freshies, and Laura Wickham and Aileen Donovan for the Junior Class. The Seniors, for some unknown reason, failed to show up very well. Angelena Lepori, Evelyn Laughlin and Gertrude Matthew deserve mention, however, but as “Coach” Steele observed, they needed more training. The result of the meet was: Sophomores, first place, 37 points. Juniors, second place, 29 points. Freshmen, third place, 23 points. Seniors, fourth place, 10 points. The fund realized was thirty dollars. At a meeting of the High School and Home Association, held soon after the meet, the mothers added five dollars to it. We hope now, that as the fund has been started it will grow steadily until we have enough to get our much needed and desired tennis courts.

Some say Eve 8, and Adam 2—a total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing out far differently. Eve 8 and Adam 8 also—total 16. And yet the above figures are entirely wrong.

Wrong again. What would be clearer than, if Eve 81 and Adam 812, the total was 893? But if Eve 811st and Adam 812, the total would be 1,623. I believe the following to be a fair solution: Eve 814 Adam, Adam 8124 Eve—total 8,938. Still another calculation is as follows: If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81,242 oblige Eve—total 82,056. I think this however, not a sufficient quantity. For though we admit that Eve 814 Adam, Adam, if he 8,081,242 keep Eve company—total 8,082,056. All wrong.
