But our activities did not cease when we The next in order was the food pledge campaign. During this campaign the stud- had given our boys to the service. ents showed a hearty interest and through their agency hundreds of cards that otherwise never would have been signed were signed and food pledge cards now hang in the windows of nearly every home in Santa Rosa. In December, following Food Savings Campaign, came the Great Red Cross drive. The enthusiasm displayer by the students in this drive has had no equal. After a week of hard work the results for S. R. H. S. were over 620 new members for the Red Cross. Soon after the big Red Cross drive was over, Santa Rosa Rosa Hi entered the Junior Red Cross with a too per cent membership. This, perhaps is our greatset achievement. Our Chapter of the Junior Red Cross has done splendid work. The boys, with their manual training work and their successful junk campaigns have kept a steady flow of money into the treasury. This money purchased the yarn and other necessary materials which the girls’busy fingers fashioned into socks, sweaters, helmets for the soldiers, be- sides clothes for the homeless Belgian children. The girls have worked faithfully every day after school until five o'clock under the untiring supervision of the teachers in charge. Too much credit cannot be given the students and teachers for the manner in which they support and carry on this Junior Red Cross work. Just after we had gotten nicely settled with our Red Cross work, the Third Liberty loan was upon us. The school children played a prominent part in this drive. As the result of our hearty cooperation of the stirring in as- sembly and unfailing work of all, S. R. H. S. oversub- subscribed her quota four days after the campaign began. Last month we played a game in which the mass of students were against the whole faculty. This was a con- test to find out who could last the longer when it came to The students, after trying for a week gave up the task of trying to “break” the teachers. buying Thrif Stamps. Although the students did not win, the results were far from a failure. The total amount received for Thrift Stamps at our bank was $1,400. Last, but certainly not least, comes our work in Bel- gian relief. Four months ago Miss O’Meara appeared be- fore the student body and asked us each to give a penny a month toward the Beugian relief fund. There was, in- deed a generous response to this call to help the starving children of devastated Belgium. By the end of the month we had doubled our quota. It seemed that every month our sontributions increased. Everyone always saved all hiis pennies for the “Little Brown Jug” on Miss O’Meara’s desk. So, it seems, looking over the past record of Santa Rosa Hi’s war astivities, that she has, in every branch, gone gloriously “Over the Top.” 6 ee i oe = i RE NIOS Pa odin Ahl, Kinley Anderson, Weston Anderson, Clarendon Abeel, Shirley Adams, Fred Anderson, Victor Abeel, Edwin Belden, Loyd Bailey, Bruce Burke, Mervyn Break, Gordon Bruner, Harold Bruner, Hazel Brush, Shirley Barnett, George Banks, Lester Bettini, Alissio Berger, Frank Boyce, Earl Bagley, Will Bither, Thomas Brown, Walter Clark, Charles Cochran, Paul Chapman, Guy Clarey, May Cochran, Edward Chapman, Charles Cooley, Victor Cassani, Fred Cameron, Donald Campbell, Everett Churchill, Frank Cooper, Leslie Campbell, Harold Coon, Jack Dignan, Howard Du Bois, Grant Dearing, Raymond Drysdale, Donald Davis, Carroll Drysdale, James Drysdale, Sidney Entzminger, Albert S. .

Soon they will begin the stern battle for existence and for recognition, while those who are planning to take advanced courses, will continue their studies in the universities. The class of 1918 now goes forth to strive to win success in life, armed with the advantages that they have derived from their High School course. What will these next few years bring them. To those who are planning to take part in the busy community life around them, it will bring them in contact with vice and crime, which will strengthen their manhood and womanhood, for it there were no temptations to over- come, no pitfaHs to avoid, where would virtue be if one were good. Those who escape these témptations win rspect and admiration from those with whom they associate. While on the other hand, those who are given the opportunity of higher education which is offered them in the universities, will be devoting their time to the betterment and the uplift of their minds. And through this, obtain a broader view of the prob- lems that confront them, and when their course at uni- versity comes to an end, they will be equipped to do their part in the life struggle into which they are en- tering. Class of 1918, it is your duty, now that your High School days are over, and the time for your entrance into life’s arena is here, to make the best of your oppor- tunities, and to leave the world better than when you enter. As our great President, Abraham Lincoln, once said, “It is all together fitting and proper that we do this,” the editorial staff wish to take this opportunity of thanking those who have ‘made this edtion of The icho possible. First, we wish to thank the faculty, one and all, for the encouragement and help they have given, and for the faculty play they gave for the benefit of The Echo. Next, the girls who so generously gave benefit teas and entertainments; then the Senior Class who took it upon themselves to raise the money neces- sary for the publication of the annual. To the entire Student Body for the help and assistance given us; to our advertisers who have given us their hearty sup- port; and last, but not least, to the members of the Press Democrat office who have taken such a great in- terest in our book, and for the many helpful sugges- tions they have given us. —The Editors. ee rip eo Me a Dick Stone, Freshman “Who is the new kid, fellows?” “Where? Oh, that youngster? Name’s Stone, I be- lieve, Dick Stone. He's a Freshie, and sure looks the part.” Several upperclass boys, who were sauntering along the shady walks of Hampton College, turned to gaze after a small, yet strong looking boy of about seventeen years. It was true that he was not much for looks. His face was small, very freckled, yet with an attractive look around his blue eyes, and his hair was a bright red. He looked as if he had come from the country, for his clothes were rather worn and not of the latest style. Several days of the college term passed and the coach of the track team had called for men. Dick was interested in track and watched the boys practice every night. He would have liked to go in for track himself, but he feit that he would stand little chance among the boys who had trained before. The high school where he had attended was.small and had no athletics. One afternoon after having watched the men train, Dick decided to go tor a walk. He had watched the boys practice running and felt sure that he could run as fast as some of the boys had. He walked along pondering on the subject until he was about a mile from town. Seeing a cool place under a shade tree on a small hill a little dis- tance from the road, he decided to rest there for a while. 12 The spring weather was glorious and there was plenty of time to rest before he had to go back. He began to think of college; is was not what he had expected. His parents had not wanted him to go to college, they thought that he should stay on the farm after having gone through gram- mar school and high school, but he had finally gained their consent to come. He had exepected to make some friends but he had been going several days and hardly knew a fellow to even speak to yet. Well, he did look like a country jay, and his clothes were old. But what was the use? Tle was so shy that he couldn’t talk to any of the fel- lows 1f they tried to talk to him. Well, he had come to college to study, so nothing else mattered, but still it would be nice to have at least one good friend. Having thought about his troubles for some time, Dick decided to make the best of it. He rose and looking around Was about to leave when he heard some one scream. Com- ing toward him at breakneck speed was a horse with a girl clinging frantically to the saddle. The horse had evidently gotten. beyond control, for it flew over the ground, its pounding hoofs fairly shaking the earth. Dick’s brain seemed all in a whirl and it was hours, to him, before he could move. He commenced to run down the hill, but be- fore he realized that the horse could be past before he could lain ee ee eee SS J teach the road. Suddenly he remembered that the road turned, so he commenced running in the other direction, hoping to reach the turn before the horse got clear around “Mine it Dick Stone. I have seen and admired your brother at College, but I don’t know many of the fellews, as I am only a freshman, so I have never met him.” it. His feet flew over the ground, and Dick never knew “You in college? Why I did not think you were any how he scrambled through a patch of wild blackberry older than I, which is sixteen.’ bushes and over the fence. The horse was there almost “Well, Tam not much older than you are, but I grad- as soon as he, although he had slackened speed slightly to uated from high school rather young,” laughed Dick. turn. Dick leaped toward the horse from the side of the road and caught the bridle. “Well, {am beginning to feel all right again, so I guess This frightened the horse [ can ride Lass home. She is usually so gentle, but she more, but Dick held on and after being dragged a few feet became frightened when I was not watching her.” succeeded in bringing the horse to a standstill. The “She surely is a beauty,” said Dick, as he gazed at the frightened girl jumped off the horse and sank on the grass graceful lines of Lass, a deep bay, with a long flowing mane ; beside the road. and appreciated her beauty as only a lover of horses can. “Oh, thank you so much.

He thought he would be awkward and not know how to ; “Don’t mention it,’ answered Dick, “anyone would talk to a girl, as his acquaintance with girls had been have done the same thing.” rather limited. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and forgot “Why, anyone couldn't have done the same. There to be shy.

They 15 a ma SRR ee ‘Mies found the family before a cozy fire in the living room. “Mother,” said Marjorie, “1 want you to meet Dick Yes! When he has met Don and father I will tell you about it. This is Stone, he just saved me from an accident. my brother, Don, and I hope you will be good friends. Marjorie then sat down by her mother and told about the runaway of Lass and how Dick had saved her. “But,” protested Dick, “you give me too much credit. I didn’t do anything wonderful.” “My dear boy,” said Mrs. Stephens, “you do not realize what yon have done. There was no one else on the road and there is no telling how badly Marjorie would have been -hurt.” “Oh, Don!” burst out Marjorie, “Dick can run so fast. No one else could have reached that turn before Lass did. You should make him go out for the track.” “We need a fellow, Stone, and I, as captain, want to see the team win this year. Of course a freshman hasn't much chance for any of the big meets, but at least come out for the Interclass meet. You will have a couple of weeks to practice yet.” I did not real- “T should like very much, Don. Why! ize it was so late. The time has passed very quickly. I really must go.” “Oh, no indeed.

This is Friday night and you don’t have to study, so stay to please me.” 14 “Thank you, Mrs. Stephens. I[ can’t refuse you,” said Dick, although he was inwardly afraid of the dinner and when he saw the table he groaned. How would he be able to manage all those forks? At home they never had more than was absolutely necessary for one person but it seemed that there was enough for everyone at one plate. How he lived through that dinner Dick never knew, but finally Mrs. Stephens reminded him of his mother and he became very jolly and forgot to be shy.. school, family and home. The evening passed all too quick- he found himself back at the fire talking gaily. He told them about the ranch, ly, and Don took him home, after a warm invitation had been given by Mrs. Stephens to come whenever he wished to see them. that at last he had found friends. Three weeks had passed and the day for the big Col- That night he went to sleep happy, feeling lege Interclass Field Meet was at hand. Dick had been training every night and profited more than had been expected by it. The coach had thought him rather small, but he was strong and was called the “Freshie Wonder” by many of the fellows. Dick felt sure he could come well up in the sprints and perhaps win in the half mile, as his greatest trouble was in starting. They had several good runners in the College, but Dick wanted to be best, but then he was only a freshman and could hardly expect that. The big track was alive with people, mostly boys and girls of the town, as many were interested in the college track team. Dick’s heart began to sink as he came out onto AP the track. Could he ever run before to While he was trying to persuade himself that he could do many people? better than he ever did before, some one called to him. He turned to see Marjorie and walked over to speak to her. Dick had spent many happy evenings at the Stepheps home as it always seemed as if he was in a home when he went there, so he and Marjorie were great friends. “Dick, you go in to win that half mile, wont you? Don says you are good in the sprints for having trained so little, but that Russell and Clark are better. He thinks yon can win the half mile, though, if you try real hard.” “Of course I'll do my best, Marjorie, but don’t ex- pect too much. I wish I could win, though.” The events were run off quickly, but to the impatient Marjorie it was all too long until the half mile came. Dick had not done well in the sprints. He had gotten nervous and had not started well. He could run fast and came up to fourth in the one hundred yard and third in the two- twenty, much to the delight of the freshmen. “All out for the half mile, fellows!” came the call. “T mttst and will win!” said Dick as he took his place. “Ready! Get set!” The words sounded crisp and distinct. “Go!” the starter said as the pistol went off. Dick was off with the others. He waited for one of the other men to set the pace and he determined to keep close behind him, whatever happened. Dick knew that the man that took the lead was a sen- He felt that the runner was ior, and not their best man. trying to lead him too fast, but he ran along easily. If the freshmen won this event, they had a chance of winning the meet, otherwise the seniors would probably win. While Dick was thinking over these things he noticed that they were abuot half through. Now the test woula come. He was a little more winded than he had expected to be, but the man in front of him was falling back and he would have the lead. Yes, the man in front of him would Some one was have to drop out. But what was that? coming up behind him. He could hear the swift beating of their spikes on the track. He went faster, but still the run- ner came on. The crowd was cheering. He heard the freshmen yelling his name. He must win for them, but he was so tired. fis lungs hurt and the finish seemed so far off and— “Dick runs That was Marjorie. Yes, he would run and win. He drew himself together and made one final effort. Then the tape loomed up in front of him and he reached out and fell across the line a winner by a few feet. Dick felt some one rubbing him and opened his eyes. “Never mind. old fellow,’ said Don, “you won and that probably means the meet for the [ reshmen.” —HELEN CRANE. Che Srramble of the Eggs feqN front of the little, weather-beaten country post-office, on two well worn benches that showed the effects of usage, the village loafers and the farmers from out of town were sitting and gossiping, and exchanging the latest news while opening their mail. A political argument was under way, and the bystanders urged on the debaters, the village blacksmith and the postmaster, until it looked as if the affair would come to blows. At this juncture, however, the attention of the combat- ants was distracted by the appearance dawn the road of a little dried up farmer, minus his hat, his whitewhiskers bob- bing up and down as he walked. The little old fellow was leading a dilapidated looking mare,which was pulling an equally antiquated wagon, while under the wagon trotted a dog of such nondescript breed and disconsolate appear- ance that he matched the rest of the group perfectly, and over allman, horse, wagon and dog were splotches of yel- low, irregularly laid on, so that the procession looked as if it: had passed under a painter’s scaffold at the instant he dropped his bucket. As the procession drew near, a chorus of- inquiries greeted it from the benches, but never a word did the old farmer answer as he carefully tied his horse and stepped on 16 the porch. hen he shifted his tobacco to the other cheek and indignantly began his tale of woe. “Fellers,” he said, I’ve had a most turrible time. You all know where the county road goes past my corn field? Wa’al, at any rate my field’s on one side and there’s a row of oaks on the other. Boys, I comes down that road first thing this morning with some baskets of eggs to ship to the city, and, by gum, the first thing I sees is that pesky black cow of Henry Fulcombs in my corn-patch. You all know Henry and you all know the cow. They’re both alike, just as cussed and ornery and naturally perverse as a nest full of hornets!” The old man paused to get his breath, and his audience sat silent and expectant, till, having mopped his forehead with his red bandana, he began again, gesticulating violent- ly, and more excited than before. “ll tell you, boys,” he continued, “I was mad. I hitched Betsy, here, to a bush and gits a pocket full of rocks and starts in to chase that ding-busted cow out. Waal I gits into the field all right, but the minute I gits near the cow , she just hoists her tail over her back and puts out across the field like the old scratch was after her!” The old man was waving his hands frantically now, ti mt his whiskers jerked up and down as he talked, emphasizing his words, and he seemed to forget his auditors as he vit- ualized the morning's tragic occurrences. “T wears myself plumb out,” he said, “chasin’ that cow around the field, drat her! She tramples on all the corn, and I loses my hat and falls down, and when I gits up I jes’ gives it up as a bad job, when what does she do but go par- adin calml o1t tiie hole in che ‘ence on t the roac, like | in the middle of the road, and she looks as if she was a- laughin’ at me. [ellers, that was too much! [ picks up a rock and heaves it at her, and she hoists her tail again and lights out down the road. Then I sees I made a mistake for Betsy, tied a little farther along, gits kind of excited, when she sees that cow a-comin’ down the road like she means to go .ome place. Be sv bacis up:s tor as the rope vill let sir’ sport lets out a yelp you could hear a mile, and hearin’ that racket behind her, Betsy pulls loose and starts down the road while the old black cow is a-comin’ up. I starts to run as fast as I kin, and I says, says I, “Whoa, Betsy ! look out for them eggs!’ But she never pays any attention and the cow, she keeps right on a-comin’ It was awful Every time the wagon hits a rut a few eggs flies out of the bas- kets and smashes in the road, and Sport, who is a-runnin’ behind the wagon, gives an extra howl every time an egg hits him, and Betsy gives another jump, and comes a little might faster. It sure looks like it was a-goin’ to be an aw- ful accident, I knows if they ever hits, I will never be able to put Betsy together again, and I don’t want to pay that old coot, Henry for a cow that eats all my corn. Wa’al boys jest as they was a-comin’ together, and I thinks its all over, Betsy all of a sudden braces all four feet an’ slides along and stops, and the cow turns to one side and tries to pass, But right when Betsy stops so quick, the eggs don’t. They keeps right a-goin’!) They sails up in the air and comes down and busts, jest like them German bombs we reads about in the papers. One whole crateful falls out on Sport and makes a regular omelet on him and all over the road. I gits there just in time to get some, too; I tries to dodge, but it wasn’t no use, a s you gents can plainly see. As for Betsy, she was just wadin’ around and a-snortin’ like a loco- motive. And I'll be switched if that cow didn’t catch one horn in the handle of a basket with it haingin’ on her head and the eggs rattlin’ out and runnin’ down her back. Boys, that was a mess! that was a mess! That place in the road will be one omelet for weeks, and I don’t believe that cus- sed cow is stopped runnin’ yet. I had to lead Betsy back to town, she is so scared, and I konws she will never be hand- some like she was once. Just the same.” and here a satisfied smile spread over his face,“I bet Henry Fulcomb wont rec- ognize his cow the next time he sees her.” He turned to go into the post office, but as he reached the door wheeled about, and shaking a warning finger at the assembly, shouted, “Don’t none of you fellers ever trust an egg, it wont treat you right.” a —EDWARD R.

Junior-Senior picnics a year later attended by less chaperones and more fun. Some of our worthy members underwent a severe struggle as to which was the most tempting, the danc- ing or the marshmellow roast. This finally led to a compromise to pack the marshmellows up to the dance and eat them unroasted. Last of all the class of 18 were the honored guests of the Junior class at a picnic at Burkes. ’ Owing to the war to which is due the lack of over- whelming numbers of all-star track men in our midst, the Seniors are compelled to record the sad defeat in the inter-class meet, but if we were to count the men from our class who are now with Uncle Sam, we could ‘asily outnumber the triumphant victors of the meet. history 30 But then even Napoleon met his “Waterloo,” but in- stead of turning the tide of our advances this defeat will act as a spur to our mighty power as a class, and we will attempt to leave behind us footsteps which all future Freshmen will gaze at with awe—stricken with reverence as they call to their minds the pictures of the geniuses who formerly tread these venerable halls long before their time. And speaking of class laurels, let the other class- men find a single member of our all-powerful debat- ing club that is not a member of the Class of 718. Call to their minds the overwhelming defeat of Sonoma, which was accomplished by hard wor k and natural ability, which characterized this unusual class. During the final year in Santa Rosa High School the Seniors have had many calls to test their patriotism and they have responded in a way worthy of their class. Finally, as a gift to the dear old school they presented a service flag on which many of the stars represented boys who would have been graduating at the same time had Uncle Sam’s need not taken them. War time simplicity characterized the sad depart- ure of this class from the institution which will cherish and speak in hushed voices of those who depart at this time for long years to come, Sarah Fisk.

I shall propably 4 be no more when it does reach you. But I shall go back to the beginning and tell you all about it. It’s now over a year since I was in Santa Rosa and made the last entry in this diary which lies beneath this. After leaving Santa Rosa, I went to Palo Alto. Here I received the greatest disappointment of my life. Life became of no longer use to me. Ever since then, I have been wandering around trying to drown my sor- row. And so, after wandering about, I arrived here in this cold northern country. An expedition into un- known regions is now arranged and I shall accompany it. As I shall probably not return, I am putting this diary in the hands of a trusty Esquimox to be delivered to some member of the Class of 718, S. R. H. S. I believe this is the only complete record of the members of the class since they graduated. Hoping this will reach you safely and that you will not 9 ) oe t grieve if I never return, for life holds nothing more for me. Your wandering classmate, Clarence Cooper. On Board, Aug. 5, 1925. Well, here it is the fifth! Have just gotten settled on board the S. S. “President.” I have decided to keep a record of all m ytravels, so I certainly hope to meet somebody that I know, for goodness knows, Ill get pretty sick of this rambling before I see California again. Wouldn’t it be great if I should meet some of my classmates—dear old Class of 718, from the Santa Rosa High School ! ! Excitement !! I went out on the deck just now to get my steamer chair, and on my way back to my state- room who did I meet but Mildred Bucknum, one of the girls in this very Class of °18. She said she was on her way to Spain, and I later learned that she was to be presented at the Court of King Alfonso. All the others on board are strangers so her familiar face is very welcome to me. We left New York this morning, and expect to be in Florida tomorrow night sometime. In Florida, Aug. 7. Last evening we arrived here in Sunny Florida. The ship remained in the harbor for about four hours, I mean - while, taking a stroll around the town of Key West. Who did I see but Paul Chapman! He is now a noted scientist. His specialty is butterflies, and his book on this subject is certainly authoritative. Returning to the dock, I met Mildred Milne. She was walking through the town waiting for some friends to re- turn from a shopping tour in town. She is with a party of tourists yachting in the southern waters. Aug. 10. After leaving Florida we sailed for a day toward Cuba. In Santiago, the familiar face of Rosalind Bacigalupi greet- ed me. It She has grown more pretty and She said she was traveling for her health. seemed nice to see her. attractive than ever. Her two years at Vassar added great- ly to her natural charms. Aug. 12. Yesterday we reached Buenos Aires, the beautiful met- ropolis of the South. While sight-seeing, who should | run across but Aileen Donovan. She is now the South American correspondent for the “Democrat.” She is quite noted in newspaper circles now, and has been offered many fine opportunities, but she is still loyal to the old home pap- er that was so helpful to her when she was editor of the Santa Rosa high school annual. Aileen said she knew of some other S. R. H. S. people that I should like to see. She 36 took me to the Plaza hotel and there we saw Marjorie Vaughan Snell and Frank! They were just resting before starting out on their journey to the south pole. England, Aug. 23. The journey from Buenos Aires to Liverpool was un- eventful. It did seem fine to get back on solid ground once more as we set foot on English soil. From Liverpool I took the train to London. While driving along St. James, the day after my arrival, I caught sight of a figure which seemed familiar. 1 asked the chaffeur to stop, and I jumped out to come face to face with Helen Payne. Helen had not changed very much. She was very anxious to hear all about the other members of our class. Helen and Lydia Pankhurst are now starting another of their fam- ous campaigns in London, but I did not get to witness any of them. She said that she was going to Windsor castle that afternoon to see Edith Price and asked me to accom- pany her. In the afternoon we rode out to Windsor castle as we had planned. Edith is now governess for the dainty little princess of England. Mae Bradford was at Windsor, also. She came with the Duchess of Marlborough, whose lap dog she now takes care of. Spain, Aug. 28, After leaving London, I sailed across the channel and on down to Spain. In Seville this morning, as I was walk- = ing about the palace of the Alhambra, I met Eleanor How- ard Meade. Mr. Meade is now ambassador to Spain and Eleanor is enjoying her stay in this delightful region. France, Aug 31 I left Spain the 29, and we traveled up to Paris. While wandering around Paris I happened to meet a friend who invited me to the Opera with him, That evening as the curtain arose, who should be revealed but Harold McAlpine taking the leading role. He is second Caruso and is en- gaged in all the great cities of Europe and being received at court wherever he goes. After the performance, I went around behind the scenes and had a good talk with old Mac. My, it was good to see him after all th ose years of separation. The next day while going through Louvre, I came across Gertrude Baker sketching. She is living in Bohem- ia and is devoting her time to art. Switzerland, Sept.s, On my way from Paris I stopped at Flanders to see some of the reconstruction work. At the head of this won- derful work was Elvira Kenworthy. After graduating from Lane’s hospital as a nurse she gave her services to poor, devastated France! I was able to see Mabel Benson, too because she is visiting Elvira whenever she isn’t giving concerts for the benefit of this reconstruction work in France. This hap- pened to be one of her vacation days, so we had quite a chat. Today I expect to go to Berne and then on an exped- ition trip up in the Alps. Balkana, Sept. 11 On the seventh I took my trip up on the Alps. We lodged that night at a Swiss chalet in the mountains. About nine o’clock that evening another party arrived at the chalet. I was much surprised to find Elva and Earl Wayne in the party. They are now on their honeymoon. They have changed very little and it seemed very much like old times to be with them. The next day I returned to Berne and then took a train which went through the Balkan states. These states have always been of interest to me, since it was over one of them that the Kaiser started his row which had resulted in the extermination of the German nation. TI stayed over night at Bukharest and early the next morning I took a stroll around the town. At the outskirts I came to an aer- plane. Bent on investigating it I walked close to it. Who should be the owner but Helga Langlieri and Olga Opland. They are on an aerplaning tour through the Balkan states. On their return to America they expect to write a book on “The Balkana, in Perspective.” Italy, Sept. 15 I made a flying trip through Italy. The only place at which I stopped was Rome. [I felt that I could not pass by without a glimpse of that old capital. In the one day that I spent there, I visited the places most recommended by Badaekers. Just before returning to the station, I ran across Gladys Woods. She is now designing villas for the nobility. Turkey, Sept. 21 I rode out to the palace of the Sultan. I was received very graciously by his majesty in a magnificent tudience cham- ber. He was surrounded by numerous courtiers. Among the dusky skinned Turks the white face of the jester stood in sharp contrast. Was it—could it be? Yes it really was —Homer Percy! ! I had been there but a little while when a door opened and the Sultan’s wife, Clara Hansen, was admitted. It was very pleasant to meet these two friends in this strange country. Africa, Oct: 1, Leaving Constantinople, I crossed the Mediterranean and entered Atrica. At the port at which I landed I met George Hoshide. He is to set out on a lion hunt in about a week. Tle has become quite renouned for the skill with which he hunts this king of beasts. Departing from the coast, I traveled for several days inland. While traveling through the eastern portion of Timbuctu, who should IT run across but Cecil Swanets. She is an agent for the Indian Motorcycle Company and is teaching the negroes how to ride them. She is really very succesful. Tomorrow I shall board a ship which will take me to China. China, Oct. 21, At last I am in this wonderful republic of the East. My journey was very uneventful. I have now been here a week traveling through this most interesting country. I was in Tu Chang, I ran across Laura Wickham. She is now a noted novelist and is traveling in the east to get “local color” for the next novel. It seemed quite like old times to have a nice talk with her. She has traveled much since graduating, Her last book was the best seller of the year and was entitled “How to Catch ’Em.” Siberia, Oct. 26, From China I went north to Siberia. At Vladivostok I was received very graciously by Sarah Fosk. Since Si- beria has declared her independence, many Americans have gone there, and are establishing a new government. Sarah Fisk was one of the first to answer the call for help and is now the city manager of Vladivostok. The new govern- ment is different from anything before, as it is entirely on the socialistic plan. Japan, Nov. 7, Returning from Siberia, | spent several days in Tokio, then took a trip to the interior. I found many quaint places in this old Empire, and at one of the most beautiful spots upon the side of Trygiana, I same across Beth Haskell. She is now teaching a kindergarten in a small village in that region. She is in love with the work and the people. Japan is surely to be envied in having her. Tomorrow I leave the old world and start on my way across the Pacific and back to good old America. How good she will look when I see her again. a a” ae” lane on i0, es ots ell. in yle. vay low Phillippine Islands, Nov. 7, I sailed in to port at Manila on the 5th. This is cer- tainly a wonderful land. I have traveled over the main is- land in the last two days and found two old classmates. In the interior I found Eloise Robbins teaching the natives gymnastics. Her pupils show great grace after a short time under her capable training. Last evening, after I had returned from my trip to the interion, I met Lorene Johnson on the street. She is now matron of an orphanage, and was taking some of her charges out for a walk when I saw her. Dutch West Indies, Nov. 10, After leaving Manila, the next port was Kudat in the Dutch West Indies. On entering Kudat, I was conducted down the street by a native to the home of the American Consul. As I passed along, I looked about me to gain an impression of the place, when something attracted my at- tention. The sign on a hair-dressing establishment was the cause. In my consternation and going nearer I saw the name of Anna Lee on the window. I asked my guide about it and he said that Miss Lee had quite a flourishing business. The next day I called on her and found her very much the same as in the old days. She said that she was de- lighted with the country and that the only drawback was that there were so few of her old friends there. Borneo, Nov. 10, Today I arrived in Borneo from Kudat. Here there 39 is a different spirit than any that I have met before. I was told that the difference was due to Estelle Smith, who is missionary in this region. I should like to see her, but 1 shall have to leave here before her return from her tour in the interior. Figii, Nov. 20. I am now in the Figii islands. There are few marks of civilization here. I shall not stay here long as the ac- comodations are not good. Yesterday | came across a dressmaking establishment run by Marie Albers. She is making a pretty good success of it and is really doing educational work, as her attractive modes induce the natives to wear more than a smile! Marie said that a movie concern had just landed. ‘They are making a picture, the scene of which is laid in the Figii islands, starring Valeska Surrath and her twin movie star, Florence Entzeminger! ! Australia, Nov29, As our steamer puffed into an Australian harbor, I wondered if I would see Paul Johnson there, as I had heard that he was seeking new material for his latest book. Sure enough he was for I had not been in the town but half an hour when I met him. He seemed very enthusiastic about seeing me, but was more so about his book, which he said was to be on “Etiquette at School and at the Table.” New Zealand, Dec. 3, We sailed on, our next stop being at New Zealand, I wanted to stay there a day or so, even, just to see my old class mate, Ralph Brown in one of his famous prize fights but the boat sailed and I had to sail with it. liked to have seen Fat in the ring! I should have Hawaiian Islands, Dec. 6 The towns a re beautiful and so are the shops, especi- ally one shop window attracted my attention when I saw 3ernice Showers there demonstrating the “Sure Grow Hair Tonic.” Dec. 14, Today we went up to Seattle, Washington. and then on to Juneau, Alaska. They told me Mildred Parrish was running an ice cream parlor here, but I did not get to see her. I was glad to get off a boat and as the train pulled out of Juneau I was happy. The trip wasn’t a bit tiresome, as I had met many of my old friends and hoped to meet more, O n and on we traveled until we came to a little count- ty town in central Canada. I got off of the train, and began to look around the town, which seemed to consist only of a general store and post office, a few houses, but high up eyes. I was the on the hill, a picturesque little school greeted my went up there anl soon found out that Clara Torr teacher. Dec. 20. My! But it is cold! I just saw Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Collins (Phyllis Heckly) They are spending their honeymoon up here! Here I am in Greenland! ! 40 Boston, Dec. 23 I arrived in grand old Boston today. I walked around the town and visited many of the famous old land marks. On my way back to my hotel I iiet—can you guess? Yes, really Dorothy Adams! She was sitting in a park writing and when I asked her what she was doing she told me that she was just finishing up her book on “How to Always Appear Sweet Sixteen.” New York, Dec. 24. In New York I stayed several days, yet the only per- Her latest comic opera was being presented that night and she said that she was writing another. son I saw whom I knew was Alida Showers. Washington, Dec. 25 Here it is Christmas Day! I am glad to be in America for this holiday. I called up Verrel Weber, who is here in the capacity of Judge on the Supreme Bench. Since she had the day free, we proposed that we celebrate to- gether and discuss the good old times at the S. R. H. S. I met her and we went down the Potomac on a sight-seeing trip to see Mount Vernon. about all of the class of 18. On the boat Verrel asked me She said that she had drifted away from almost all of her class mates. In fact, the only one she said she had seen was Aline Kistler, who is now the dean of the “Mount Holyoak Seminary for Select Young Ladies.” After rambling around the historic places of Mount Vernon, we returned to Washington. Tomorrow I take the train for my return journey to Santa Rosa. Chicago, Dec. 29. I am spending a few days here while I visit some rela- tives The other day I was invited to go through a large tex- tile manufacturing plant. Everything about it was very interesting and is handled in the most efficient manner. I found Margaret Lambert. She became so proficient knit- ting socks in her senior year at High that after graduating she was asked to help manage this huge plant. She is mak- ing a great success of the undertaking. Yesterday afternoon I went to one of the big league baseball games between the Seals and White Sox. I was glad to see the White Sox win, for my old friend, “Andy,, Lagan is managing the team this season. StelZouis.= Jans 3: An accident occurred which caused a delay here. See- ing the flaming posters of a circus, I decided to spend my time there while waiting. As I approached the circus grounds, something seemed to bring back the old days in Santa Rosa High. Coming close, I realized that the reminder of old days was the sound of ‘Cato’ Hoyle’s voice as he “spieled” in frfont of the side show tent. He surely was drawing the crowds. I went up to him and shook hands with him. He said that circus life was “great.” As the main show had not begun I went into the side 41 show. There I met Lela Pool as the Fat Lady. I never have known anyone to change like Lela has. In one corner I saw a damsel charming snakes. She showed great ability in making her pets obey her slight- est command, In this marvelous being I seemed to be re- minded of some one whom I could not remember, but as soon as she smiled, I recognized her instantly as Inez Rus- sel. After a talk to Inez, I went into the main tent. As I entered, the band began to play. This band attracted my attention, as it was made up entirely of women, and Elsie Higgason was the “conductress.” The band ceased playing, then struck up a lively march as the bareback rider, Cedora Ely, rode in on her marvel- ous steed amid cheers and applause. and in rushed the lions! ! At last came a roar Tour of these kings of beasts drew a golden chariot which bore one of their trainers. Emma Christiansen. After the performance, everything was hustle and bus- tle as the circus prepared to leave town, for this was their fast appearance in St. Louis. Hence I was unable to speak to any of my classmates who had devoted themselves to the sawdust ring since the good old days. Oh, there! am on my way. The train is just pulling out and again I Idaho, Jan. 10, 1926. Leaving St. Louis we went south through Arizona, and thea turned north to Idaho. In Arizona we stopped at a small station, when up dashed a picturesque “cow-girl.” I was amazed to recog- nize the girl as Hazel Fry! The train pulled out just then, so I did not have a chance to speak to her, but from her appearance | imagined her as well and happy in her new chosen work. Idaho, Jan. 20 I am going south again from Idaho. I entered Cali- fornia from the southwest. While passing through the southern part of the state, I stayed over all day at Uni- versal City. I had a wost interesting day in the land of movie stars. There was but one familiar face among the entire population. I met Margaret Daut. She is now Theda Bara’s maid and her talent in “making up” con- tributes to the success of this maid if filmland. Santa Rosa, Jan. 28 At last I am back here again after my many travels. The old town looks very changed. As I walked down Fourth street things seemed very different. It was with joy that I reached Hodgson and Henderson's place, for here in front of it, in his old place, stood Marcus Matlock. He has now been appointed “awning hioster.” Walking on down I stepped in at the Overton, when what was my surprise to see Walter Black at the head of the barber shop there. The familiar faces begin to make the town seem like home. Going farther on down the street I met And- rew Mercer, who is now head of the chemistry department of the shoe factory. He was walking with Vera Williams, who is now clerk in the Golden Rule. Down at the Rose I saw Bessie Shone and Lila Sullivan in a big feature danc- ing act. It is nice that these girls have won so much fame abroad should come back to devote themselves to the thea- ter of their childhood. The next day I took an automobile trip up to Willits. There at the post office I saw Dorothy Staley. She had passed the examinations and was now the “best and only” clerk of the Willits post office. On my way back to Santa Rosa I stopped at Windsor school to see Laura Ssrohmeir, who now has the school there. A few days ago I went up to the old High school. There the most of the faces were new yet a few of the faces of 718 were there to greet me. In the commercial depart- ment Mary Tsumaru’s smiling face greeted me. She is now filling Mr. McKesson’s former position, The other familiar face was that of Grace Johnson, who now has charge of the sewing department. Tomorrow I think I’ll take a little trip back to dear old Sebastopol, the home of my youth, before I go down around the Bay. My! but I have had exciting times! ! Almost too good to be true. | | | Che Last Will Work K, the illustrious class of June, 1918, of (@) the Santa Rosa High School, being of sound mind and clear understanding, and knowing the time, after which we shall no longer be shielded by the kind and watchful faculty is near, do deem it necessary to provide for the possessions which we hold dear, and which we will be unable to take with us into the life hereafter.

All the rest of our estate, real, personal, or mixed, we donate to the Echo, so in case any debts is incurred by us, the expense will be met with no hardships by the next Senior Class. Having disposed of our property, we appoint Mr. Montgomery executor of our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto sub- srribed our sacred and inviolable names, and affixed our seal this 14th day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1918. Signed Senior Class of June, 1918. Witnessed by BETH HASKELL MARIE ALBERS ROSALIND BACIGALUPI HAROLD McALPINE CLARENCE COOPER ANDREW LAGAN 4A WILLIAMS, Chairman SIunior Class It does not seem that before long we will be having our pictures taken and will be ready for graduation. These two and a half years of our High School life have gone by very fast, and next year, we too, will be proud Seniors. Our Junior year began by electing Sarah Fisk president, and Inez Russell vice president, Marie Roberts and Will Carithers representatives. The officers did their work well. On November 3, a Senior- Junior masquerade party was given us by the Seniors. The evening passed by with dancing, bobbing for apples, and listening to Miss Grey tell our fateful fort- unes, (although I have heard since that some of them have come true. We have been well represented on the track, and are especially proud of our noble basketball manager of last term, Art McDowell. The members of our class who have taken part in the athletics this term are Lamore, Cooley, Robinson, Moore and Allen. We took third place in the Inter- Class Field Meet, but you just wait till we get started. This term the officers elected were Estella Hudson, president; Bess Godman, secretary-treasurer; Helen Crane and Milton Saare, representatives. A big Junior-Senior picnic was given on the eve of May vl. We all went to Burke on the Mark West Creek about 4:30. We swam, danced and ate hot, siz- zling dogs and buns. Frances Pannell furnished the music for the dance, which took place in the dance hall at Burke. We all had to be hame at 10 o’clock, much to our regret. This brought our Junior year to a close, and al- though we sadly leave our title of Juniors to the Sopho- mores, we are not unhappy to assume the title of Seniors. Estelle Hudson, 7°19. , 4 Sophomore Class During these last grinding weeks of school when tests seem as terrifying as a whole German army the editor ad- ded another load to my weary brain by asking me to write the history of the Sophomore class. While pondering over what I should write my eyes fell upon a finger worn note book which lay in the aisle. Intending to discover the name of the owner I opened it and was surprised to find that we have a promising young poet in our class. Owing to the fact that I am publishing his works I cannot reveal his name. As these poems were about the Sophomore closs I selected them for publication. This shows he has good judgment: Which class in the old high is best, Who always passes every test; Who think the Freshie class a pest? The Sophomore. Wiho’s got the pep to make things hum, Who ne’er shirks duties when they come, From getting E’s to chewing gum? The Sophomore. This he had in the sporting column: In athletics we were slow But just you never mind Some day you will see our sprinters go And leave the rest behind. Our future champion, Melvin Brooks A hurdler he will be He’s not so heavy as he looks— He’ll hop ’em like a flea. Each step that Russell Merritt takes Measures half a mile. And Stump’s a pie plate record makes And does it in great style. This was dated on Friday, May 17, which I recall day of the Sophomore picnic. Dear pup with sides so plump and round, [’'m glad I saved you from the pound, For in this world there are but few That are so dear to me as you, You have no head, you have no tail. In the butcher shop you are for sale For picnic grub you can’t be beat You should have seen the sophomores eat! —DAISY GRAHAM, '20. 1s Freshmen Class At last we have reached the end of the first milestone toward success, that is our Freshman year in High. This year has had many important features as well as interesting ones. Entering into the school last August, one of the first events given us was the reception given us by the Mother’s Club and uppperclassmen. This was in the nature of a hard times party, and it certainly looked like it to see the cos- tumes worn by the students. The next event was the school party, which was also well attended by the students. The entering class in January brought many new and amusing features, in it the most notable being our own or- iginal Daniel Wetzel. This class was also welcomed in by a reception, but it was not a hard times party. Next came the interclass field meet, which, to the sur- prise of the dignified seniors, won. This was due mostly 50 to the points of Donald Kidd, Henry Seegelken and Mal- colm Weeks. Weeks also went to Stanford to compete in the State meet, and he also ploced well up in this event. In basketball we had Seegelken, Kidd, Copeland and Spooncer. This all goes to show what pep we have. Not only do we excel in athletics, but in other activities such as Red Cross campaigns, Liberty Bond, war savings stamps and junk drives. As our year draws to a close we can look back upon a very brilliant career, full of many events. Having outgrown our baby clothes, (although we never had any) we have shown the other classes what they have run up against when they tackle us. As we have passed our first milestone toward success we as a class, will our long baby clothes to the next unfor- tunate Freshmen. —JACK DONOVAN.

D. Steele This year the associated Student Body has, in common with all other student body organizations, felt the influ- mice of the war time. Our usual interests and activities, therefore have, to a degree, given precedence to the un- usual, the more vital—-the different war activities. The students have been called upon to do their bit, and have responded splendidly, as the establishment of the Junior Red Cross, the conduct of the Liberty Bond drive, the Belgian Relief, the raising of funds for Red Cross mat- erials, fully testify. But in answering this new call to duty, the call to membership in the student body has been somewhat over- looked. We have had a good memberchip, but there has not been the general response there should have been. The rallies, to be sure, have been fine, but, fellow students, it takes your financial, as well as your moral support to make a success of our drive to hold our place in the High School world. The members of the Governing Board have attended the meetings faithfully and the reticence of the first few meetings has developed into a fine exchange of ideas and opinions. This is as it should be—this works for spirit, unity and success. Considering the many calls upon the time, as well as money, of the students out of school as well as in, probab- ly our games have had their quota in attendance. This, at times, was good but others not so encouraging to our teams. But in both what has been accomplished during the year and in the general spirit of helpfulness pervading our school, we may take just pride. To the students who have worked for these ends, I extend my sincere thanks. Clarence Cooper Governing Board The regular meetings of the Governing Board held during the year were presided over by the Student Body President, Clarence Cooper. Much standing busi- ness was handled, such as track and basket ball ex- penses, which come up before the school boards every year. During the year the Board sent our president to Bakersfield to a convention of delegates from the schools all over the state. Debating was taken up in the second term, and Carl Hoyle was elected representative on the board. The team was granted, and debates held of which one was a success. Baseball, with Andrew Lagan as manager, is prov- ing a great success. Several games have been granted the boys already. Although the Board has discussed the matter of student dues faithfully at every meeting, very little has been done about it, consequently the funds in the treas- ury became so short that the Board was compelled to vote for the discontinuance of the Weekly for the re- mainder of the term. Also the matter of a Student Body entertainment was left until so late, that it was decided to let it go for this term. These matters were the most important handled by the Board during the year. Much more might have been accomplished had not the many calls for money o naccount of the war kept the students from paying in the money which is so necessary to any school activity. Puninr-Senior Girly Organization TRIOTIC ISSUES have been paramount in the year’s activities. Hence the Junior-Senior girls have devoted less of their time to the social activities than formerly. Only the large parties have been given a tea dan- sant to welcome the fall class of freshmen girls, a Red Cross candy sale, and the annual Hi-Jinks, have been the three great events of the year. The freshman class was greeted during one of the first weeks of the fall by a reception given in their honor. Each freshman girl was escorted by an upper-class girl, who saw the stranger was made to feel at home, At the door little boy programs were given to all the girls. The first part of the program was called the “Hick- ville Opera.” Alida Showers played some most “beautiful” selections on her violin with one string, She was accom- panied by Bess Godman at the piano. If this was a sample of dluckville Wpera, F ickvi le 1s certainly 19 � e e vie |, for the numbers rendered were very enjoyable, in fact our sides ached for a long while afterwards from laughing so hard. Following this Miss Helen Crane gave a readng. Her impersonation of a small girl was very cleverly done. The last number on the vodvil program was called a Musical Duo. Miss Bess Godman impersonated the char- acter of an Italian organ grinder, She was assisted by Mar- ion Belden, who acted the part of the organ grinder’s mon- key. The entire act was exceedingly fascinating, and made a fitting conclusion to the clever program. After the vodvil, the floor was cleared for dancing. No one was without partners, for the upperclass girls gladly offered to serve as men. All the “Freshies’danced until they were tired. Then ice cream cones were passed. After the refreshments, they danced a few more times then went home tired out, but closer in touch with the upper class girls. Helen Payne, as president of the association, had charge of the affair and was one of the greatest factors in making it a success. Later, in December, although deep in the campaign for the Red Cross membership drive, the girls found time to hold a Candy Sale. Under the able direction of Marjorie Vaughan, candy was solicited and put in bags ready for the sales. The sale opened at the beginning of the morning recess. By the first of the third period, all the candy was sold and the proceeds were handed over to Mr. Montgomery, who was to hand it over to the Red Cross. Thus in fifteen minutes, over six- teen dollars was made for the Red Cross. The Hi-Jinks, the biggest event of the year, was held early in February to welcome the girls that entered after Christmas time. On the evening of the Jinks, girls in all kinds of costumes could be seen entering the gymnasium, (at least, they could be seen the early part of the evening.) About half past eight o’clock the Annex was immersed with darkness. The fates had decreed that upon that night we shouuld have no electric lights. For a while, the girls danced by the light of one electric flash light, hoping that the lights would soon come back on; but as time went on and no lights appeared, a messenger was sent to the “corner grocery” to purchase candles. Those were lighted and held by the mothers. This was a great service, for without the ring of candles around the room, the party might have been very dismal. The girls appreciated the kindness of the mothers very much. The lights from the candles cast a wierd glow over the scene, as the whirl of dancers passed here and there kaleidoscopically. It created much fun since the girls were not so easily identified as they would have been in the bright electric glare. It was indeed a motley crowd. Dignified seniors became little girls and boys; all parts of the orient and occident were representsd ; our teach- ers appeared in the form of everything from a hula- hula dancer and an imp to a man and a little girl. After dancing a little while, the curtain was raised and a wedding ceremony was performed. Down the aisle came the wedding party. The ring bearer and the flower girl preceded the beautiful bride, who carried a marvelous bou- quet of vegetables, and the distinguished looking groom. The train bearers and the elegantly attired bridesmaids brought up in the rear. Awaiting the bridal party were the father and mother, with the children. The minister read the most impressive ceremony. (We certainly thot it impres- sive when we had to control our convulsive merriment.) Immediately following the ceremony the limosine arrived for the bride and groom. They embarked on their honey- moon, not caring if the coach did not quite hold both of them. Those impersonating the different characters were: Verrel Weber lida Showers The bride The groom The negro minister Helen Crane Father Beatrice Allison Helen Payne Daisy Shone and Aileen Donovan RUN Sa Dean Chain tee iar a eke eee aoe Marie Roberts Train bearers...... Jewel Hodgson and Vera Williams The brides maids... Rosalind Bacigalupi and Lela Pool Chauffeur Elaine Nielsen After dancing awhile, the girls gathered again in the front of the gymnasium, this time to watch the drama of school life. Sess Godman, impersonating Miss Sinkor Swim, the teacher, was indeed clever. In her the teachers saw themselves, pictured as they are supposed to act. Miss Sinkor Swim carried on her school in a very dignified man- ner, rewarding the best pupil, “dear Percival Spriggins” with smiles and making the other scholars “remain the nineth period.” Among the pupils were Philip Space, Hez- za Liar, Howit Tickles, Aileen Sideways, Snowball Coco, and many other interesting characters. After some more dancing, two kinds of ice cream were passed. There was a great deal of ice cream and everyone had at least two cones. Then the girls formed in line and marched past the judges, who awarded the prizes for the best costumes. Miss Katherine Pressley was given the prize for the most beautiful costume. The judges were fair in their choice, which was necessarily hard to choose. Katherine was charming in her naive Turkish costume, which savored of the “magic East.” The other prize was awarded to Miss Ruth Comstock, who was dressed as a half boy-half girl, for the most original costume. Every detail of her dress was worked out completely. One side was clothed in white middy and skirt with a white hat on ter head, while the otherside was clothed in a boys knickerobcker suit with a Che S. BR. The weekly has not been a great success this year. The student body did not pay their duse as well as usual. Perhaps it was on account of the war that advertisers have not helped us as much as last year, but whatever the rea- sons, the weekly has been practically a failure. Since Verrel Weber has been editor-in-chief, the staff has shown wonderful improvement. Not only were the cap on her head. The candles were extinguished and everyone was on her way home by twelve o’clock. The party was a great success, due, in a great part, to the efforts of Laura Wick- ham, the president of the Junior-Senior girls association for this last term. Thus the activities of the girls are ended for the year. Though the “affairs” have not been numerous, everything that has been tried has been a great success. This was large- ly due to the organization, for everyone worked together. Miss Helen Payne was chosen president for the first term, with Beatrice Allison and Mae Bradford for the secretary and treasurer. After the reception to the freshmen girls, Helen Payne resigned and Marjorie Vaughan was chosen to fill her office. The officers for the last term are: Laura Wickham, President Daisy Shone, Vice-President Aline Kistler, Secretary and Treasurer S. Weekly columns of the weekly full of local items, but the news was written in a snappy, interesting style. Money was raised to clear the debt leit by last year’s annual, and the staff of this year is hoping to leave this term withont a dollar’s debt to be cleared by the next year’s senior class. Che Orchestra The past year has been a period of diligent work for the orchestra. Although not much has been heard of this organization in a public way, nevertheless, it has flourished. Under the direction of Mr. Roy Blosser, the orchestra has made considerable progress. Although the orchestra lost a number of its best and most experienced players with last year’s graduating class, the vacancies have been rapidly filled up with new recruits. Since last term very little playing has been done before the Student Body, with the exception of the first Student Body program, that was given last term, so that the school, as a whole, have not been able to pre- ceive the improvement over last year. Orchestra practice has been held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning of this term, and al- though it has been somewhat of a task for all the mem- bers to appear on time, very few have disappointed Mr. Blosser. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Piano—Laura Wickham. First Violins—-Margery Moore, Drusilla Talbot, Ruth Feliz. Second Violins—Judson Steele, Ellsworth Barnett, Helen Chakuran. Cornets—Meta Moore, Arthur Swanets. Clarinet—Harold Nielsen. French Horn—Casseux Hall. Drum—Jack Robinson. Srhool Savings Bank The School Savings Bank has certainly been an essential factor in the school life and interest this term, and has occupied a large place in our school activities. Through the school bank the Liberty Loan campaign in the school was carried on, and it was due to this fact that the school reached its quota in such a short time. This term when the War Saving Stamp drive was on, over fifteen hundred dollars was taken in by the Bank through the sale of these stamps. The purpose of this campaign was to try and “break” the teachers, and from the amount of stamps sold, this worthy ob- ject was done. Although considerable amount of the deposited in the bank was drawn out at Christmas time, and for Liberty Loan Bonds and War Saving Stamps, a large amount still remains deposited in the Bank. The officers for this term are Henry Shafer cashier, and Mary Tsamuri, assistant cashier. Henry Schaefer. Arhating Much enthusiasm has been shown this year in de- bating. A team was organized and two debates were held. The first debate was with Sonoma on December 18th. We received the challenge but a few weeks be- fore the debate, so it was only by dint of persistent work that the team from here was able to enter at all. The question was: “Resolved, that the State of California should adopt compulsory health insurance.” Santa Rosa upheld the affirmative side. The mem- bers of the two teams were: Affirmative, Santa Rosa—Verrel Weber and Carl Hoyle, Harold McAlpine, Alma Kistler. Negative, Sonama—Stuart Potter, Lester Hawkins, Rodney Prestwood, Don Bluxom. The judges were: Judge Vaughan of Santa Rosa, Mr. Deering of Sonoma, Mr. Redding of University of California. The decision was awarded to the affirmative. This victory was very encouraging, for none of our debaters had had any previous experience. The other debate was a double one with Petaluma: “Resolved, that California should adopt the Single Tax,” was the question of debate. Those debating at Santa Rosa were: Affirmative—Harold McAlpine and Turner of Santa Rosa. Negative—Waldo Brown and Miss Esther Peder- sen of Petaluma. Those who debated at Petaluma were: Affirmative—Charles Wilson and Miss Meyer of Petaluma. Negative, Carl Hoyle and Miss Verrel Weber of Santa Rosa. The judges at Santa Rosa were: W. N. Green of the University of California, J. E. Olmsted, Petaluma; Shannon Mercy C. A. Pool, Santa Rosa. The judges at Petaluma were: B. S. Hanim, Uni- versity of California; H. W. Wood, Petaluma; R. M. Barrett, Santa Rosa. The decision was unanimous for the affirmative at Petaluma, and two to one for the negative at Santa Rosa. The defeat of S. R. H. S. was disappointing, but under the circumstances, it was felt that they did very well. But one week before the debate, Mr. Mont- gomery, the coach, became ill, hence was unable to help them in the final preparations. One of the mem- bers of the team was called away but a day before the debate, so the alternate, Shannon Turner, was obliged to give his date with only a few days preparation. Another debate was scheduled for the early part of May, but it was called off on account of the many conflicting activities. Increased enthusiasm wa sbeing shown for the last debate, and it is to be hoped that next year much may be accomplished along the line of debating. Alumni The Alumni Association or the S. R. H. S. was organ- ized in 1895. The first class consisted of seven members while the class of 1917 had over sixty members. The Alumni Association has made a steady growth since that time both in numebrs and influence. It was established for the fostering of the interests of the S. R. H. S. grad- uates and to promote good-fellowchip among its members. Among the more recent garduates, of whom special mention should be made, are our boys who have entered some branch of the service of Uncle Sam. Among these are: Army, Mervyn Burke, ’16; Chauncey Peterson, ’15; Merton Meeker, 17; Tom Miller, ’16; Amandus Kistler, 16; Edward Koford, ’16; Arthur Meese, 13; Arthur Eng- land, 13; John Mathews, ’13, Theodore Mathews, ’15.

Faculty Plav The High School Faculty entertained Wednesday afternoon at the Annex, and put on a program to the delight of the parents and students. There were really three parts to the program, for each member of the faculty had to have a part. The first was “An Old Fashioned Photograph Album.” Next came the “Old Maid’s Chorus.” The album was a big hit. Miss O’Meara preceded each “likeness” with a jingle, and then the curtain was drawn to show a member of the faculty all dolled up to represent “Uncle Zeke,” who “fit in the rebellion,” or Aunt Mary, who was taken to rest many years ago with a “Misery in her side”; and “all sich like picters.” Following this was the aofresaid “Old 'Maid’s 5S Chorus,” and Miss Edna O’Connor’s movie play, “Part- ed Asunder, or How Nineteen Bandits Bite the Dust.” “Jim,” the poor, but honest hero, was taken by William Farnum Maile; Jack Dalton, a regular old three-time villyun, was Douglas Fairbanks Blosser; “Hiram Scroggins,” whose name tells wh at kind of a character he is, was Charlie Chaplin McKesson, funny legs and all; “Daughter Nell,” heoroine, with a tear in her eye and a buckwheat cake on her hand, was Miss Alice Rowells Weir; “Ma Scroggins,” like pa, known from her name, was Miss Theda Bara Fisher; “Black Pedro,” the bandit, Bad Bill Hart Cloney; and Herbert Shames, the sleuth who kept on the trail, was Wallace Reid Hauck. Suffice to say the play ended happily, as all good plays should. The affair was in the nature of a benefit for the High School paper, the Echo, and was most successful from a literary, social and financial point of view. Athletirs Orark As a whole the track events of 1917-1918 have not been as successful as might have been wished. The first track event was the four corner meet held at Santa Rosa during the September of 1917. The track meet was won by Ukiah, but Santa Rosa came in a close second. The next track event was the Interclass meet held during the latter part of April. The meet was won by the Freshmen, with the seniors second, juniors third and sophomores last. Clarence Cooper was individual star for the meet, scor- ing a total of 16 points ;Seegelken, a freshman of great abil- ity, was second with 14% points, while Kidd placed third. INS Cong mOtsConl mr The annual field meet of the northwestern section of the California Interscholastic Federation was held at Berk- eley this year. Santa Rosa High sent two representatives, Weeks and Cooper. Cooper failed to place in the javelin, while Weeks placed third in the eight pound shot. It is our desire that next year our school will be rep- resented by a larger number of athletes. S. N.S. C. A. L. The three counties meet was held on the track at St. Helena this year. Our team, weakened by the loss of See- gelken, Kidd and Moore, entered with little hope of captur- ing honors. However, our men made a good showing, bringing home two gold and two bronze metals. Cooper was Our main point getter, placing first in the javlin and broad jump, Lamore secured third in the pole vault, while McAlpine was fourth in the shot. We had little hopes of placing in the relay, but Cooper’s phenominal work in the second lap and McAlpine’s in the last brought us second place. Vallejo carried off the honors of the day with 48 points the others were Analy second with 45, St Helena 18, San- ta Rosa 16, Healdsburg 15, Armijo (Suisun) 12, Napa 11. BASKET BALL Our basketball season this year was an exceptionally good one, the team was a cracker jack, the rooters always on hand and full of pep, with this combination, little short of a wonderful season could be expected. The team was made up of practically new men, Babe Spooncer being the only one left from last year’s team. Babe was, as even all his opponents will agree, a fine player while Joel Mallory played with him in a very creditable manner. The combination of Spooncer and Mallory as forwards always spelled “victory” for S. R. H. S. Our guards, Seegelken, Logan, and Herbert kept our opponents from scoring too many points, while Edwin Moore, an en- tirely new man, did very good work as center. The season’s scores follow: S. R. H. S., 11 Sonoma 6; S. R. H. S., 20, Analy 37; aI; S. Rk. He S, 30, Sonoma, 35; S. RH. S., 34, St. Helena S. R. H. S., 20, Cogewell, 38; S. R. H.

The 130 pound team made a better record than the first team this season, playing fine balls and losing only one game The captain and mainstay of the team was Joel Mal- lory, who has the distinction of being the largest individ- ual point getter of the season, both teams included. Others who played on the team and received either blocks or numerals were Kidd, Lamore Karnes, Wright and McDowell. Much credit is due coach Steele for the keen interest he has taken in the sports. Manager McDowell is to be congratulated for the manner in which he filled his posi- tron. The baseball started the season with only three of last year’s players, which practically necessitated the forma- tion of an entirely new-team. Despite this handicap and having no home diamond, the team made a good showing. They defeated all the taems which they met with the ex- ception of our old rival, Sonoma. Babe Spooncer, Manager Lagan, Captain Coaley and “Cement” Morrill were the best the team possessed. La- gan and Spooncer pitched and caught interchangeably, Coaley played second and caught while Morrill played shortstop. The support that the team got from the school was shameful. At the last Sonoma game there were about fif- teen spectators. Wake up, students! Show some pep and enthusiasm! Get out and boost the team and cheer the fellows to vicctory. An official box score was not kept, the following are the only results obtainable: Sonoma, 8; S. R. H. S. 2; Analy, 6, S. R. H. S. 7; Healds- Urea Sake He ee SONOMA Utomo e So aeeraliin ad Pp aoe INS dale tees Sy NEW... OF Co LOE: In the Northwestern section of the California In- ter-Scholastic Federation track meet we were repre- sented by ten men. Nearly every one of our athletes brought home medals, which they were duly proud of. Don Kidd, ’21, was our chief point getter. This was Don’s first big meet, and he brought home a gold, a silver and a bronze medal. These he secured by plac- ing first in the 100; second, in the 120, and by running the last and best lap in the relay. Girls’ Athletics aay ASKET BALL this year has not been a very great success. There has been lack of enthusiasm and interest on the part of both the student body and the basket ball girls themselves.. The girls were given the gymnasium for practice on Mondays and Wed- nesdays, and Miss Rued kindly consented to act as coach. Later, because of Miss Rued’s living in the country, Mr, Wilson took charge of the team. When Mr. Wilson joined the Y. M. C. A., “Babe” Spooncer helped teach the girls the tricks of the game. The girls who did turn out for basket ball did splendid work, and deserve credit. Our star and captain, Verrel Wieber, did her best in all games and was always admired for her splendid playing. The members of the teams are: forwards, Alida Showe- ers and Beatrice Allison; centers, Dorothy Adams and Verrel Weber; guards, Daisy Shone and Mabel McCause; substitutes, Edith Moore and Rosalind Bacigulupi. The first game of the season was a practice game with the Analy Hi girls. Our girls were defeated by a score of 14 to 7. Shortly after this, our girls defeated the Sonoma girls with a score of 24 to 11. This was the girls first game on the home field, and many good plays were scored. At St. Helena, our team was badly defeated, coming home with a score of 19 to 0. This defeat made the team more determined to make a better showing in the return game with St. Helena. Our next game was with Calistoga on December 14, and we were again defeated with a score of 30 to 15. January 18 our girls played a return game with Calis- toga and the game ended with a score of 42 to 17 in favor of the latter. under the careful guidance of Will Spooncer. A noticeable improvement had beeen made In a return game with St. Helena, the score “piled up” 1g to 9 in favor of our opponents. The defeat, however, Was not so discouraging, for it was not so bad as that of the first game with the team. The last game of the season was played with the Busi- ness College girls and resulted in a victory for our team. DEFINITIONS FOR SOLDIER BOYS Infantry—A place where they keep infants.
