There have been arguments for and against stident control, and in some high schools and also in colleges, actual experiments in this type of government have. been carried out. The problem is of particular interest to us of Santa Rosa Higi: School, as a form of student control has recently been proposed here, and is as yet so new and untried that we do not at present know how it will develop. In the first place, what does student control mean? Is it com- plete government by, for, and of the students? And if so, how extensive is student power? The ideal high school government would be one in which the principal of the school would not have to retain the veto because he would be sure that the students were capable of self-government and that no legislation to the detriment of the school and its traditions would be passed. Under perfect conditions, the teachers might ieave the buildings, the students being left in absolute control, and their regular work would go on as usual. The students should have full control of government, knowledge of how their government acts, and the power of the student body should extend to every activity of the school. Why is this impossible in Santa Rosa High School? We have taken our first step toward self-government. Let us not hesitate to go still further. Professor Hanus, an authority on the subject, has said, “No school is a good school until it governs itself.” So let ts put all activities under the jurisdiction of the students, social as wel! as athletic affairs, business as well as scholastic. Let us make self government worth while, not only financially, but morally and intellectually. Self-government will do this. Students who are capable of controlling the affairs of a school will be capable of controlling the affairs of a state or nation. Dr. David Starr Jor- dan of Stanford University has said, “Self government means self- control.” And as at Stanford student control has been tried and found successful, he knows whereof he speaks. Student control is practical. Wherever it has been tried the students have risen to their responsibilities, and student control has meant more school spirit, and a higher rate of intelligence among the students. Many examples might be cited. In New York city, at the De Witt Clinton High School, on the edge of the East Side district, student body government has been tried and found a success. Here a regular judicial court is maintained, composed of students, who bring to trial offenders against the school laws; and a “strong-arm” squad, likewise composed of students, carries out the decrees of the court. Another case is that of a privite school for girls kept by Mrs. Sperry, oo A THE ECHO where the girls make their own regulations, see to it that these regulations are enforced, and voluntarily undertake whatever seems necessary for the betterment of the school. The organization of the school should be cooperative. As Dr. Charles W. Elliot has said, “’Yeachers and students should alike be members.” [n some schools, study hail control is left to the students, The pupils of each study hall period elect a monitor and an assistant, and 2 teacher to whom the monitor may appeal in case of need. The monitor has control of the study hall and is re sponsible for the preservation of order. In other schools the honor system is used. At the University of Washington, the student body has the miiiative, referendum and recall, and the judicial authority is placed n the hands of a board, not in those of the president. This respon- sibility seems to give good results there. These examples show what student control has done for some schools and could do for us. Whether all or any of the different kinds of government mentioned would work well in Santa Rosa High we can find out only from experience. But even if we do make mistakes, it will be worth while to institute student control, if if will secure us greater interest of the students in school affairs. And by all means, let us have meetings of the whole student body. The students as a whole should know what is going on; they should take an active interest in the government of the school as well as in electing representatives to the governing board. The new constitution should provide for this. Our neighbor to the south, Sonoma High, has held student body meetings, once a week, for some time and more real school spirit is developed in this way ‘han in any other. ‘The possibilities of student control, once well begun, are endless. So soon as the students show themselves capable of nandling one thing, they can be intrusted with others, and as soon as the students begin to take an active interest in government, they will demand more powers, and they should receive them. ‘Then let us make a good beginning of student control here in Santa Rosa. Let us find out who our representatives to the gov- eraing board are and tell them what we want done, what we think the new constitution should contain. Let us take an active interest mm our school. Let us boost for student body meetings, for absolute student control, and we will get them. Jt is hard for us to realize what an organized student hody is capable of doing. If we want to see more school spirit, more democracy, a bigger, better school, finer in every way, if we really care for our old High we will get out and boost for student body control. Let us think it, talk it and vet everyone else to do likewise, and all good things are possible for Santa Rosa High School. 13 THE HCHO In Moemorian Russell Mitchell Died -- Hebruary 28, 1914 Claire Roberts Died - - - May 2, 1919 AN El dye De Ol LK) 15 a she = N t | X I t) i ie UNBURED SREASURE BY FRARCS PIAZZI GHE FACULTY JORN STUMP FOR OLD GLORY LAWRENCE HART WAR SOCKS VERREL WEBER POSSUM BELLA FLSK ELLEN FRANK FENTON THE BCHO UNBURIED TREASURE ( First Award) XTRA!

No matter if they are rich, they QD will have to go to the Happy Hunting Ground whether they want to or not; but somehow I remembered it. [wo days after this vs had been chewed over by the town “hicks” I was in want of diversion. Ifor want of any better occu- pation I collected Hobo (he ain't a dog, he’s my chum), and we wended our innocent (?) way to the Chink Dump, where the rarbage, both good and bad, is dumped; regardless of a “Keep Out” sign. Once there we began to rummage over the new spoils and to get ourselves beautifully unclean and quite “heppy.”’ As we plowed uur way through a pile of old magazines we perceived a garbage vacon putting in an appearance. “Ah!” hisses Hobo (who thinks he would make a good villian), “now for the dirty work But just then the town clock broke loose and announced it to be twelve o’clock, and as I had promised myself to be somewheres else at that time, I “beat it.” Hobo followed, but we promise ourselves to revisit the dump the nexi day. At the early hour of 10 a. m. ] shooed Hobo out of bed and we again proceeded on our innocent (?) way. Arriving at the dump we encountered the Chinks, but we are brave, we are, so we kept on. Hobo started to cuss, and I joined in the chorus when I found that it was because some one had beaten us to the new pile of garbage. The bushes had been strewn with envelopes and letters, with here and there some broken article of luxury. Among some wiliow bushes I saw a broken vase, rather fancifully decorated, but thinking it was one of the numerous vases abundant in the Chink Dump, I passed it by. “All the letters are addressed to that rich jasper that kicked the bucket « few days ago,’ says Hobo, in his beautiful language, gleaned from numerous “detective stories.” “Zat so?” queries I, forgettin’ that I like to imitate the manner of French and Englishmen, “nuthin funny bout that.” Then I recollects that I am supposed to be an English duke or sumpin’. THE ECHO 17 “Rippin’. don't cha know. Perhaps we may run across some of his business lettahs. ‘That’d be bully, don’t cha think?” “Say, cul,’ says Hobo, rather peeved at my royal manners, and still in his best imitated dialect, “dont pull youah highbrow dope wid muh; it don’t woik, see!” Fearing to cause a diplomatic breakdown between me and Hobo [ stops. Hobo (I tell you he ain’t a dog), smiled in his superior way and we proceed to our “joint.” ‘This is a cave occupying a remote part of the creek, where Hobo and I congregate when we have raided some nearby melon patch or orchard. Here we dis- located ourselves and read some “dime novels,” Hobo trying his 4 hand at one with the very original title of “Double Crossed or the Pirate’s Last Gasp. In two gasps.’ What with the war ceasing and peace filling the world (except in Russia an’ between me an’ Hobo), it was no wonder that the editor crowded the main local news onto the third page. tere it was thar I found the following item: “The collection of ancient goid and silver coins of Mr. Thorn dyke Q. Ypsilanti (he was the millionaire who had died a few weeks before) has mysteriously disappeared. It was a known fact that Mr. Ypsilanti kept the collection, which numbered over five hundred 2old pieces and possibly seven hundred silver pieces, in a small wall safe in his study. The will of Mr. Ypsilanti discloses the fact that the collection has been bequeathed to the Western Museum of Numismatics. The Museum has offered a reward equal to the value of the gold and silver. This can be better understood when one knows that the value of the coins as relics, amounts to prob- ably $200,000, while the metal in the coins does not amount to more than $5,000.” Then it went on to say numerous other things about Mr. Ypsi- lanti, such as press agents use. You can bet, though, that when | read this I hustled out Hobo. He did not get my idea at first, but when | told him that there might be a map or sumpin’ among the letters of Mr. Ypsilanti’s which had been thrown down the dump, he was with me. I don’t think it took us a minute to get to that dump, and it is a good half-mile from our homes. Well, we rummaged and rum- maged and cussed (who wouldn’t), but nary a “dubloon” did we find. We went chrough the letters—nothin’; we dug up the ground, and still nothin’. Then I espied the fancifully decorated vase and sumpin’, maybe my sixth sense (maybe not), kinda’ made me want to take it and look at it. I lifted it, or rather I tried to. Heavy? Heavy was no name for it; so, seein’ I couldn’t open it, I broke it. Inside was a chamois skin bag. I yelled for Hobo, and he came skiddin’. With tremblin’ hands I opened my pocket knife and cut the leather thong about the mouth of the bag. My hands shook THE ECHO so that it was all I could do to open the mouth. What was inside? With a desperate effort and the assistance of Hobo I finally opened it. With nervous eyes and straining ne fell out. First one LEAD United States dollar and then another lead s we both gazed at what one, and then a whole stream of them. Each and every one was punched. They were counterfeits, and probably they had come from the City Hall where they had been collected, and punched so as not to be passed on some one. We were too dismayed and crestfallen to even start to cuss, so we remained silent. Finally Hobo’s face brightened. “Gee, I bet they make dandy ‘sailers.’ I bet I can throw the first one across the crik.” I took him up and in fifteen minutes our stock of “treasure” was gone. Thus ended a perfect (?) day and another one of our many adventures. Postscript. Don’t mention treasure to Hobo if you like to live a while yet. Francis Piazzi, ’22. CALIFORNIA Oh California, well beloved thou art! America is proud to own thy name, And call thee her own child of worth and fame; For of earth’s greatest nation thou are part. The old Pacific liest near thy heart, A friend to guard thee from all woe and shame: And through the countless ages yet to famie, Be thou her watchman till all time depart. In ’40 thy wealth did draw the East And men from all the nation flocked to thee. Thou gavest them gold for which they fought and died; Thou gavest them homes, rich fields, whose fruits increased : And mountains, forests stretching to the sea. They love thee more than all the world beside. Ruth Break, ’ro. THE ECHO THE FACULTY (Second Award) (An Essay Modeled on The Club, from De Coverly Papers) The first of our august faculty is a gentleman of Humboldt street, a man of long standing renown, a principal; his name, the Hon. De Witt Montgomery. His forefathers were those Mont- gomerys who played so large a part in old New York’s history. All the residents of our prosperous city are ac- quainted with the abilities of Mr. Montgomery. He is a gentleman with an iron hand, but the use of it is due to his good sense, and it is wielded against his charges only as he thinks their judgment is in the wrong. However, this firmness creates him no enemies, for he does nothing with dogmatism and intolerance—faults so common to high school principals—and being unconfined to Puritanic rule makes him all the readier to please his erring students. When he is within the school building, he occupies a room known as “the office.” During his leisure hours he remains strictly at home, feeling a strong sense of duty to De Witt II and littie Anne. While in this confinement he became County Superintendent of Schools, during which time he supped with all the “shining lights” of the county. Later he became one of the vestrymen of the Episcopal church. He is in his middle age, cheerful, gay and hearty ; his school grows rapidly, his pupils look satisfied, and all profess to love him. When he comes into the hall he beams down at the scholars, and gives a kindly word to all who pass him. I must not omit that Mr. Montgomery is the high court of appeal, and lills the position with great ability and for a long time in the past has gained universal admiration by the interpreta- tion of the high school constitution. One who is in authority and esteem is Miss Frances O'Meara, a teacher of great learning in the high school, a person of indefatigable industry, strong reason and great experience. Her notions of learning are noble and generous. She is acquainted with the teaching profession in all its parts, and she will give you ample proof that the quickest and most effective way of maintaining the domination of the teachers is to make use of the study hall for the ninth period. I have heard her prove that delinquency makes a poorer student than study, and that sloth has ruined more pupils than brains. She abounds in several frugal maxims, amongst which the greatest favorite is, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work makes Jack a duller boy.” 19 tHE ECHO She knows English to such a degree that no matter what question she is asked she answers with the ability and knowledge of an en- cvclopedia. The lady I am next to speak of is another English teacher, who is a member of the imposing household of Miss ugusta Collett She is a woman of great probity, and wit and understanding. She has undertaken the study of the entire field of English and has made a specialty of the prominent figures of the past. Addison and Steeie are better understood by her than Annie Laurie and O. ITenry The boys present at every Monday night session, question her concerning the dramas such as Shakepeare’s, novels, like those of Sir Walter Scott, and the unraveling of the latest war movies at the “Cline,” all of which she answers with the wisdom of Minerva. Moreover she is studying the psychology of each individua! pupil. She knows the correct postures to suggest to each of the members of the public speaking class who are anxious to appear as the star at the Greek Theatre. Her taste ot books is abreast of the age, for she is constantly reading many, and as a result of that wide reading, is able to make good selection for her pupils Next to Miss Orral Matchette. I turn to Miss Lydia Walker, a woman of great courage, good understanding, but invincible mod- estv. Among her supreme talents is her ability to sing and her sweet voice adds greatly to the church services every Sunday morning. She was born in I’rance, where she spent a considerable part of her time, later coming to America. I have never heard her remark of any inclination to return to the land of her birth. However, she has chosen as her profession the spreading of her native tongue She is small of stature and smiles sweetly, how- ever we are inclined to believe that her mental capacity occupies the greater part of her smail figure. But that our faculty may not appear a set of “matter of fact’ people, unacquainted with the pleasures of the age, we have among us the jovial Miss Fisher, a teacher, who, on account of personal magnetism, had the duty of Student Adviser bestowed upon her. She is tall, somewhat stout, (and like all stout people, is good natured). When not teaching she resides at her country home at Penryn, but when she is correcting English papers you will be sure to find her at the abode of Mrs. Watson on Mendoci no avenue. She is ready with humorous stories, which all of us thoroughly enjoy. She can smile when one speaks to her, and laughs easily. She knows the history of every pupil and can inform you who have a tendency to study and who have acquired the habit of “bluffing.” As other women of her age can tell you what the prevailing fashions are she can tell you the latest Kolb and Dill jokes, who danced with THE ECHO 21 so and so at the last party, and who fell in the creek at the school picnic. Her presence very much enlivens the conversation among us, and [| find that there is not one who does not speak of her as that sort of person who is usually called a happy, intelligent and fascinating person. [ cannot tell whether I am to account her of whom I am next to speak, as exactly one of the faculty, due to my better understand- ing of her as a relative, although when I do describe her as such, [ can base my obseryations upon a careful understanding of her characteristics. She is a mathematician, a very precise woman, one who strongly inclines to her own opinion, and is slightly co- quettish. She has the misfortune to be of a weak constitution and is hard pressed by accepting the cares and responsibilities of her duty as class adviser. She seldom introduces the subject of her teaching. She is a blonde of willowy form with eyes that resemble that pretty blue wildflower that one may see in the green ineadow in spring. This young lady may be found either in a seven passenger Studebaker or in a spacious white mansion on Wright treet. When she is among us she seems to fall on some interest- ing subject which she treats with authority. These are some of the members of the faculty with whom I come in contact John Stump, 20. Within the Echo office did I sit, ttending to the flow of brilliant wit, When in did come the First Assistant fair And sit herself forlornly in a chair. “Now,” quoth she, “a poem is my behest, And since I have requested all the rest. To no avail, ’tis you I order now To write a poem.” And she made a bow, Then lo! she smiled! “lwas such a smile that launched a thousand ships; Twas such a smile that played on Cleo’s lips, So how couid J, a mortal weak and frail, Against the witching of the smile prevail? Twould be a creature cold and hard to bend That to her smile no little warmth would lend: And so have I been trying all the night Some semblance of a little poem to write, And here it is! —F. L.

Paper [- ‘ Mister ?”’ ; So range the newshoy’s chant from the street % below. NAL Qld Mr. Norton lifted his head and listened, then turned and gave me that rare, beautiful smile of his, which so often, out of the full maturity of his kindly old age, he bestowed upon me. “The newsys cried thus on the evening when I enlisted for the Great War,” said he. “For ‘Old Glory,’ they said.” “Who,” I questioned, “the newsys?” “Why no, the presidents.” “The presidents?” said I in perplexity, “you mean that Taft and Roosevelt——” “Oh, no,” said he then. “Time was when I would not have told the story. Even during the war such a tale met with ridicule, but now—. Well, the tale may amuse you. !’m but an absent-minded old duffer now, not much use to anybody; still if my story would give you a little pleasuse—— “Ah, there were great mien in those days,” he began. “They moved the world, those giants of power and intellect; but some of us, we could only see visions, see visions and dream dreams.” I glanced at his worn old Croix de Guerre, one of France’s highest honors, above the mantelpicce, and smiled to myself. “Yes,” continued the old man, “I remember that I bought a paper from a newsboy, that evening long ago, and I recall the dolorous tale it brought. Those days saw the height of the great offensive, the last successful offensive of Prussia. The Germans had cut their way far beyond Amiens, Messines Ridge was waver- ing, but a few more victories and even the Channel ports would be lost to us. America lose! [it struck my deadening patriotism. Should Liberty lose? Should Old Glory be defeated? And, as in the experience of all of us in that trying time, borne upon me as never before, came the real significance of the war, the true mean- ing of that titanic struggle. “It is doubtless difficult for you, today, to understand the lethargy of our spirits. So far from the seat of battle, how could we understand the nature of the Leonidian sacrifice which France was making for the world? Yet to each of us came his awakening. neh, ECE @ And perhaps my awakeuing will account for the strange experience which I will relate, and will explain the story that I tell. “T talked the matter over with my wife, and we decided that it was my duty to go. I was in class 4A, wife and children to support, but we had a little money in the bank, and I would always have my army pay So that evening IT committed one of the greatest acts of my life. “After the enlisting formality was over I went out into the hot, still night, so filled with anxiety that I paced the streets of the Capi- tal, and could not, perforce, turn homeward Flow long I walked the darkened avenues I do not know, but some time in the silent watches of that wonderful might [ found myself in the vicinity of the Capitol building. The whole structure seemed dark to me at first, and then | noted a steady, white light, shining from the windows of the council room. This lone hight, shining from out of the mass of darkness, drew me, with a mighty and insiduous at- traction, and I moved slowly forward, mounting the long stairs, scarcely conscious of the motion which impelled me. “T found the great doors of the (’apitol ajar. I entered, and found my way down the hall, at the other end of which a faint ligoht was glimmering. J] paused! [ listened! There was a sound 2 a of subdued voices, then came the scraping of a chair. ““Sirs,’ spoke a voice, quiet, resonant, yet mellow. ‘Sirs, I have summoned you hither in this time of our country’s peril that we may consider her dilemma, and so far as is in our power, mitigate it. We all love America, and only the more because of our long sepa- ration from her. Onur nation is embroiled in what is admittedly the most terrible war in history. people across the sea, with whom we never dreamed of waging battle, has begun an attempt at world-wild conquest. This struggle has dragged on for several years, and what now seems to be a decisive battle is now raging, evidently in our enemy's favor. Gentlemen, it is that we may save our beloved land from the terrible humiliation of defeat that [ have called you here tonight. “There came a silence, a silence so deep that the very sound of my breathing seemed to wake echos in that inky hall. I could bear it no longer. I MUST look. Shaking off the uncanny feel- ing, I approached the door, approached it slowly, and pushed it open. “The room was pervaded py a strange, unearthly light, in a certain degree resembling moonlight. “Then there met my eyes, in that hannted room, a sight such as is but seldom vouchsafed ovr mortal eyes.

Did I not recognize those earnest features? Surely his lineaments were like unto those of McKinley! But Mckinley was dead! “The figure at the end of the table raised his head, and I saw, as iruly as mortal eyes bear witness to the truth, the divine face of America’s first President, George Washington.

Even in thts day of her peril they were near at hand; even now they would guide the great ship of state to the happier shore. nd to me was granted the inestimable privilege of knowing this; to me had been given the Vision! The swift rushing current of my precipitous thoughts was interrupted. The honored one spoke. “ My broithers, it has been told me by One whose name is high ¢ndeed in Christian lands, that America is to play a part in the drama of nations, similar to that which He plaved in the story of Jndea. America shall be the savior of the nations of the world, as He was the redeemer of the hearts of men. America, with her youthful ideas, with the incessant vitality of youth, with the mighty physical forces of her vast domain, with the greater spiritual might of her highest ideals, shall rejuvenate the globe, shall bring new light to the nations of humanity. It must he so. This is a time of great change. This titanic strugele of frantic warfare is cer- tainly the closing scene of an oid era, the opening one of a new. “ Yet I fear the gtrugle will be dark and long. I fear that the clouds of human hate will obscure our yet untainted ideals; I fear that America must play in part that sad drama of sacrifice which another endured; I fear that America must of herself be a martyr ror the final weal of the peoples of the earth, in the death of het { youngest and fairest, robbing her of strength, bathing her in sorrow for the blood of her own citizens.’ “He paused for a moment, then continued in a voice whose caluaness and sweetness pierced my very soul with its majestic strength. ““Though during years of warfare our beloved land may be Iriven to the supreme height of sacrifice: though it seems that our enemies prevail over all forces, I doubt not that even the greatest of so1rows will leave her in higher and stronger spirit at the end of her endeavors.

They were a fine looking pair of socks, a fine pair! Why, he could knit as well as that, he was sure. Tiow all the dropped stitches had passed the critical eve of the inspector was a mystery to him. flowever, he concluded, there was nothing to be gained by sitting there looking at them, at the same time just about freezing to death; so he sighed heavily, and started to put one on. As he did so, a small card fell to the ground floor of the bunkhouse. Ie stooped and picked it up- It was an engraved calling card bearing the name, “Francis M. Palmer,” and below it was scribbled in a rather bold tiand: “This is my first pair, so please overlook the various original stitches and knots.’ Turning the card over, he found: ‘538 Lowell avenue, Mayfield, Caiifornia,” in the saine handwriting. As he read the card his face softened and broke into a charming 5 smile, then he threw back his head and laughed long and loud. “Well,” he said, in a pleasant voice, to his shoes as he laced them, “so this is her first pair. I suppose I shall have to write to Miss Francis and thank her-” That evening, ina Y. M. C.A. hut, he sat at a desk, with writing paper before him; should he, or should he not? All the other fel- iows in his company corresponded with girls at home, so why shouldn't he? But still, they were all fellows who had had many gir! friends all their lives: but he, he had always avoided them. There were no girls in the office where he had worked, and none at the boarding house where he had boarded. The only feminine personage he was acquainted with, or interested in, had been the stout, good-natured Mrs. O’Leary, his landlady. But this girl was, no doubt, expecting an answer, and he would not disappoint her. Taking up a pen he wrote a brief, business- like note of thanks, signed: “Respectfully, Sgt. James C- Lawton, . E. F., France,’ and dismissed the matter from his mind. The following weeks were spent in drilling and intensive train- ing; but the boys were becoming restless, they wanted a change; they hadn’t come six thousand miles to drill; they could do that at home; they came over to fight, and if they didn’t get a chance to do so soon, they vowed they weuldn’t be responsible for their actions. 27 One mornirg, as a group of fellows were cleaning their guns, the mail orderly arrived with the mail from home. To Jim he handed a rather fat letter, addressed in writing which he instantly recognized; a letter from Francis! Jim had received but few letters in his life, and this was the first rea! letter he had ever read- Francis humbly apologized for being so bold as to send the card with the name and address, but it had been done on a dare. The letter went on to tell of all that was happening at school. It seemed that lrancis was a senior in high school, baseball season was just about to open and Francis hoped to make the team as pitcher. Then she told Jim she would like to know what he locked like, and if possible she would like to have a “snap” of him. At the end were a few new jckes which had appeared in the last issue of the school paper. On the whole, it was a jolly, “good friend” letter, and convinced Jim that perhaps he had had, up to this time, a rather perverted idea of the fair sex. Since you might be interested in “how Jim looked,” too, here is an extract from his letter to Francis: “I’m just a big, tali, clumsy fellow, with red hair; the enclosed ‘snap’ tells you more than I could’ The enclosed “snap” was a picture of a tall, well built fellow in uniform, not handsome, but having a very cheery smile, and you could almost see his eyes twinkle. Concerning personal description, however, Francis was just’ as meager in reply: “I’m tall, toc, only my hair is brown, and I have blue eye s. I won't send you a picture, for I fear you will be dis- appointed and will stop writing to me, and you really can’t imagine how I enjoy the comradeship of your iclly letters.” And so, in the following months, they carried on an animated correspondence and their friendship grew. At last, orders came to advance. Jim’s company was to move ap and occupy the front line trenches. The boys all rejoiced; how glad they were to be on the move and in the fight! A few days later, after Jim’s company had gloriously gone “over the top,” Jim was found in a shell hole by the stretcher bearers. He was uncon- scious and horribly wounded. As soon as it was possible, he was transported to the dressing station; thence to the base hospital. There, in December, he underwent a serious operation, and, thanks to the skill of the surgeon, and to his own wonderful vitality and will power, he was soon on the road to recovery. s he was lying listlessly on his cot, dreaming idly, an orderly appeared with a box and a letter. These he left by the bedside. Jim’s face brightened; a letter and a box from Frances! It was a Christmas box, and indeed it was full of Christmas cheer. There was a sprig of holly tied with a bright scarlet ribbon, a book, a silver pencil with his initia!s engraved on it, some wonderful cookies. and some powerfully good home-made candy. And that letter, how THE ECHO good it made him feel! After the excitement was over, he lay there thinking: Francis was certainly the best friend he had ever had. What wouldn't he give to see her and teil her how much good her letter and box had done and how—well, anyway, he resolved then and there to go to see her as soon as he got back in the States. Several months later, in the spring-—and spring in Mayfield is the most beautiful time of the year—Jim, limping slightly, walked slowly down Lowell avenue, in the shade of the blooming locust trees. He stopped in front of a large, aristocratic looking house, surrounded by a well kept garden. Yes, this was it; there was the number on the porch pillar, 538 With his heart pounding sc he feared it would jump out of place, Jim straightened his shoulders, mounted the low broad stone steps and rang the bell. A precise maid opened the door. Jim presented his card, and asked to see “Miss Francis Palmer.” The maid smiled, and said: “Francis is in the living room, sir.” “Oh, Jim! Is it really you?” This in full, deep tones from the living room: Approaching, Jim said. “Yes, Fran—I, oh——” and stopped, speechless; for there in the center of the room stood a tall, healthy school boy with brown hair, and blue eyes. “I’m Francis,” he said, smiling. “What were you going to say?” “Nothing,—except that I—-that is, you know—oh, well, that | certainly enjoved your letters. and I came to tell you how much good they have done me.” With this, im turned on his heel and started out. “Hey! wait! Don’t leave so soon. I know it was a beastly trick to play, but you know, vou really did it all—with vour imag- ination. Every word I wrote was the truth. Of course. the socks put you on the wrong track, but still, it seems to me, that any sane man would realize that no one but a boy could have made such a mess as they were-” “That’s so.”—in a dull, lifeless voice. “Td never have kept it up if it hadn’t been for Sis. She really took the matter into her own hands after the first few letters, and dictated all the rest; she fixed the Christmas box, too. I think 1 hac better call her and iet her explain fully. Bob! Oh, Barbara!” EMGESa Pranks: “C’m on down stairs.” “Really, Jim, she’s a jolly good sport and——” Just then an attractive, mischievous looking girl came in: Francis, taking Jim by the’ arm, said, “Jim, this is my sister Barbara, and I know you'll like her heaps.” Plunging his hands deep into his pockets, Francis made his exit, whistling ‘““The End of a Perfect Day.” of a Perfect Day.” Verrel Weber, ‘18. 29 THE Beh ©@ POSSUM SOMEBODY get that choc olate drop out of the oy way quick,” yelled Kid Bodey lustily, “he’s blockin’ the traffic and we got to play ball.

When Bodey, the camp leader, yelled at anyone he usually moved; hut Possum refused to budge until drageed off by Teddy to the corner, where he sat weeping bitterly, while the interrupted game proceeded under the tyranous direction of Bodey. Possum was a small black waif, whose life in the Aid Camp was made miserable by the other fellows because he was not there for any wrong doing, which accounted for the presence of the others. “Turner’s rag doll,” “Camp Pet” were the terms they used to tease him. These things rankled in the heart of the little outcast as he sat in the hot sun. He suddenly sat up and smeared the tears across his face with a dirty little hand and looked for Bodey, while his black face twisted with anger. Across the y yard Bodey was sit- ting on the head of a prostrate form. He had wearied of baseball and was finding amusement in pulling Teddy’ s hair and hearing him yell. How could he get even? He couldn’t sit on Bodey and pull his hair, or even push him into the corner while he played ball. Bodey was too big, and besides ey eryone was afraid of Bodey. No one would help the “little black Angel.” If only he could get some of the camp on his side.

Bodev gave one last wrench to the black wool in front of him and tore off. leaving his victim, to scramble up and rush after him. “Boys, Mr. Boyd is here with us today to visit the camp and become acquainted with some of you,” Mr. Turner said, introducing a stout man with large elasses and twinkling eyes. “Show him the Hh EC H © 3t canip and what fine fellows you can be.” The whistle sounded again and they were dismissed. “Aw, say, Mr. Boyd, I'll show youse around,’ drawled Bodey, knocking several smaller boys out of his way. “We've got a swell baseball diamond, if you’d like to see it. You little kids get out. I can show Mr. Boyd around without none of you around. Possum, get out of the way.” Again Bodey triumphed, and Possum was pushed back in con- tempt. He returned to his drawing, making a sketch of Bodey’s monopolization of Mr. Boyd, and himself being pushed aside. He worked diligently, portraying with wonderful clearness the tri- umphant expression on the bully’s face. Finally he sat up to see Mr. Boyd gazing over his shoulder, and Bodey standing sullenly by. “Let me see that. It looks zocd,” said the visitor, smilingly extending his hand. Possum flashed a row of white teeth in a smile and handed both drawings to the man. A long drawn whistle was the only comment at first; then, “May I keep these for a while, my son?” “Sure,” responded Possum. “I can make some more.” “Thank you, and you, Mr. Bodey, for showing me your fine grounds. But I must see Mr. Turner,” he said, and walked off to the officer's tent. Bodey gave Possum a scathing look and raced away to break � , 2 into a game of mumble peg. Two hours later the whistle again sounded, and the boys hastened to their places, to find Possum and Mr. Boyd standing before Turner’s tent. Possum was dressed in his best suit, and a worn cardboard suit case was beside him. “I have called you boys together to wish your departing play- mate success in his work,” said Mr. Turner. “Mr. Boyd is going to put Possum through art school, and I thought you would want to say goodby to him.” The boys forgot their prejudice in a chorus of cheers.

But when he turned to look again at the camp before stepping into the car, he saw Bodey gazing wist- fully after the car which was to carry him into the far land of his dreams. Bella Fisk, ’21. THE ECHO ELLEN a HE SOFT SUMMER twilight had fallen over the pretty landscape of Couniy Cork. ‘The hills and trees G were blended in the purple dusk. A small stream, } glistening in the dim light, ran musically along between sloping banls, covered with flowers. In the fore- eround was an object that seemed discordant in that peaceful scene. There on the bank of the stream lay the ruins of a small stone cottage. Another eviction had taken place. Old Mrs. O’Don- nell had been unable to pay her rent. The English agent would take no excuses. The absentee landlord wished to have his money, and when it could not be obtained, Mrs. O’Donnell had been turned out, and her little cottage battered down. Near the ruins sat the old woman, and at her feet a young girl, her granddaushter. who was sobbing bitterly. The old woman did not cry. She had seen too much of English cruelty to be moved to tears by an eviction, but her old eyes were ablaze with a hatred ‘hat generations have been unable to wipe out. While the girl cried her grandmother began to pray, not in English (that would be a sacrilege), but in Celtic. Softly she prayed, and as she spoke, the girl’s sobbing became less until it stopped, and then she, too, began to pray softly in her native tongue. Suddenly they were interrupted by the arrival of a man. “And who’s there?” asked Mrs. O'Donnell sharply. “Tis only me, Cassidy, come down from the master’s to bid ye up there for the night.” “Well, Cassidy,” said Mrs. O'Donnell, “you may be goin’ back and say I'll not be up there. Ill not be sleepin’ under the roof of a man that has English blood in his veins. Ah, yes! | know what you'll be sayin’ now: that Mr. Churchill’s ancestors came here so many years ago that he’s not English, and his own mither was Irish. Good Father Ryan will take us in this night; and come, Ellen child, ’tis time we were goin’.’ With this Mrs. O’Donneil turned her back on Cassidy, and with Ellen soon disappeared into the gathering darkness. A few days later Mrs. O’Donnell and her granddaughter left the house of the kind priest to live in a cottage situated on a plot of ground adjoining the Churchill farm. Churchill’s son Tom, was a few years older than Ellen. They soon became fast friends, but one day Mrs. O’Donnell called Ellen to her and told her never again to be found with Tom Churchill. The girl was puzzled, because EE Cn @ Tom; was a pleasant boy, kind and gentle, with “just a bit o’ the divil in him,” but the old woman was so determined that Ellen was irightened into obedience for more than a year. Then she gradually saw more and more of Tom, but she was careful never to let her grandmother learn of their meetings. The years passed by, and as ‘Tom’s admiration for Ellen grew, it troubled him greatly to think that Ellen’s grandmother hated him and his father, with the same hatred that she held for her ie ‘nglish oppressors. Tom was forced to meet Ellen secretly, and he could never visit her home, but they were both very happy in spite of this obstacle, and of their ignorance of the terrible catas- irophe that was fast apmroaching. In 1845 the last of the terrible famines, the result of English negligence, visited Ireland. Thousands of people perished, and one of the first was old Mrs. O'Donnell. Good old Father Ryan dropped dead from starvation and fatigue while carrying food to one of his parishioners, and his body was torn to pieces by the ravenous dogs that thronged the village. Ellen’s little stock of food became less and less, and she kuew that in a week it would be gone. One day she was filled with horror at the word that everyone on the Churchill place had died. Ellen had !ost everyone that was dear to her. For a few days she was stunned by the blow; but after she had regained her composure, she thought of her future, and realized that she must do something at once. She thought of a plan Tom had confided to her months before: he wished to go to America, where he would be free from English shackles, and he had asked her to go with him. Then she had thought it impossible, but now she resolved to make her way io 4 seaport and go to America, The next day, taking her few possessions, and arming herself with a stout club to beat off any dog that might attack her, for some were now attacking the living as well as the dead, she set out for the sea. She walked all day, hardly stopping to rest, and that night reached Kinsale. Tired as she was, she did not dare to slecp, because there were hundr eds of others waiting to embark on the first outgoing vessel. Towards morning she managed to get passage on a vessel bound jor Boston. In the gray fog of the morning the ship left the harbor, and Ellen, filled with sorrow, looked for the last time on unhappy Ireland. Nearly three weeks later Ellen, weak from seasickness, landed in Boston. She was bewildered and afraid. She wandered slowly about the streets until she saw a sign that gave her relief. It read, “Mrs. Rafferty’s Boarding Ilouse.” That name gave her confi- dence, and she resolved to see Mrs. Rafferty, who proved to be a jolly, kind-hearted Irish woman. She listened with great sympathy while Ellen told her story, and when she had finished speaking, Mrs. THE ECHO a Ratferty said, “Well, ye poor child! Ye shall stay right here with me, and don’t be worryin’ yerself about money. Whin ye’re stronger ye can go to work for me, for, sure, me business is pickin’ up grand.” So it was that Ellen began to work for Mrs. Rafferty. One day, two years later, she was going down the hall on her way to make the beds, when she stopped suddenly and, as she listened, she became deathly paie. From one of the rooms came ihe sound of someone singing: “Kathleen Mavoureen! the gray dawn is breaking, The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill; The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking, Kathieen Mavourneen! what, slumbering still!” “Mother of God,” she murninred, “tis his ghost come back haunt me.” The voice continued to sing: “Oh, hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh, hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years, and it may be ——” The voice stopped suddenly, and Ellen could hear someone inoving about, and then she heard a man’s voice say, “Now where the divil did that collar button go?” r¢ g A look of relief and joy came over [llen’s face as she said, “Sure, and no ghost would be losin’ a collar button. ’Twas a zossip’s tale that ! believed. He has come to me,” and then she started to sing the reply as she had often done before: “Oh! Dermot astore! between waking and sleeping, [ heard thy dear voice, and I wept to its lay; Every pulse of my heart She got no further because she was clasped in Tom’s arms. “Where did ye come from, Tom? How long have ye been here?” she asked breathlessly. “T have searched for you a lone time, Ellen,” he said. “As soon as I had made sure that you had left Ireland I started for America, because I was sure you would come here. Our ship was driven from its course by a storm, and we landed in Cuba. |! started to come north, and I have been searching every city for you. Oh, Ellen girl, I have found you again,” he cried, “and now we can marry, because we are neither Enelish nor Irish now, girl. We're Americans, Ellen, we’re Americans!” ; RAG a Tree: HUD | i SAAN mh i i wara THE ECHO CLASS RIVALRY Never in the history of the Santa Rosa High School has there been such a display of school spirit as in the spring of 1919. The students have taken more interest in government, athletics, and all student activities in general than ever before. One of the forms in which this spirit has been shown most prominently is interclass rivalry. Just how this rivalry began no one seems to know, but the first sign of it was when the Seniors hoisted a flag bearing their class numerals on the staff on the high schooi tower. The flag was, of course, promptly removed by the powers that be, but the Sopho- mores had had time to see it, and the war was on. A number of events that took place about this time were given an interclass character, the candy sale, the two field meets (boys’ and girls’), and the campaign for student body membership, and helped the spirit of rivalry along. The Seniors’ flag was discovered one morning placed in the top of the tree that grows in the center of the track, and was removed with great vigor and dispatch by the Sophomores: This happened on several occasions. Everyone began to wear his class colors, and color snatching became the order of the day. Several color rushes also took place, the most memorable one being that which occurred on the day of the girls’ track meet, when the Seniors attempted to capture the Sophomores’ banner. When the excitement was over neither party seemed to be severely damaged, but the banner, the bone of contention, was ruined bevond repair. This section of the “Echo” has heen devoted to the classes to allow them to express themselves as io their importance. When reading the class histories you will doubtless find that each one of the classes is the most important on earth, but a glance at the pic- ture of the class across the page wi!l destroy this illusion. The Seniors, of course, have the largest section, but the other classes are well represented, as well as the Junior College. Class rivalry has been a good thing for the school. It has added more “pep” and ginger to the life of the Hi than any other single influence. Where the Orange and Black are concerned, the classes vie with one another to boost the Hi.

It began when we, the Class of ‘19 entered the Santa Rosa High School, and in comparison with other historic ages it has been short and sweet. It was divided into four parts, each one representing a year of school life. Will we ever forget the first year? !low learned and dignified the Seniors seemed to us then! That year was filled with good times as well as study. ‘The first social event in our high school career was the Freshman reception, which was given by the Mothers’ Club ; and a right royal welcome it was, too. Yhen in the Interclass field meet, which was held that year, we did our very best to win, though the Juniors were victorious, When we attained the position of Sophomores we played our part nobly in the school, and displayed a great amount of school spirit. The girls’ track meet was held in the spring, and the athletic ability which was shown by the Sophomores is worthy of remem- brance. The biggest social event of this year was the picnic, which we held in the gymnasium. I[t was a picnic in the truest sense of the word, and those who were present will never forget what a good time it was. Our Junior year was begun by electing good and faithful! class officers, of whom we were justly proud. We as a class stood high in Athletics. The Junior-Senior Girls’ organization o f this year was a splendid success. A candy sale was held under its auspices in December, the proceeds going to aid the. Red Cross. The amount cleared was sixteen dollars. Then the Hi Jinks was held in February as a welcome to those girls who entered at Christ mas time. Everyhody who attended will long remember the not- able wedding scene which was enacted. Prizes were given for best costumes. At last we reached the coveted position of Seniors, and although our last school year has been much interrupted because of the “ilu,” we haven’t been deprived of all good times or hard study either. Phe party which was to be given to the Seniors by the Junior Col- lege was postponed four times because of the “flu.’ and although it hasn’t materialized yet, we hold no hard feelings against the Junior College, because we are sure their intentions were good. Although our social times have been few in number, we have ranked high in patriotic service. During the Fourth liberty Loan drive there was a patriotic parade in which all the pupils of the Santa Rosa schools took part, and the Seniors were all in their places that day. Then came the Red Cross speeches at Christmas time, and eee THE ECHO nearly all the speakers were chosen from the Senior class. We hope many people were persuaded to answer the Red Cross Roll Call because of our efforts. We have now come to the time which may he termed in Senior phraseology our Red Letter Day, the day on which we complete our high school course. In looking back upon the past four years we realize that they have been filled with pleasure, and as we leave the dear old High we will carry with us and cherish the happiest memories a class has had. Ruth Break ’ro. COMMENCEMENT This year the graduation exercises will differ from those ol previous years, At this writing the final arrangements have not been made, but the following is a sketch of the program: The exercises will be held outside this year, in order that more people may attend. The principal feature of the evening will be a garden scene from Twelfth Night, presented by members of the Senior class. The scene will be given on the lawn in front of the nnex, where it will be possible to obtain a very beautiful setting. Mr. Maile’s chorus and the orchestra will furnish the music for the evening. We hope to obtain 2 good speaker for graduation this year, but at this time the committee is unable to say who the speaker will be. In addition to these features, there will probably be one or two numbers by members of the graduating class. ’Tis wet, ‘tis dry; ’tis dark, ’tis light; We love, caress, we hate, we fight, The light is out; and now doth burn; Tis but the world in daily turn! -——Alex Trachman ’20.

By the organization of this new :department a two years’ course of post-graduate work supplements the regular high school curriculum. Thus a high school graduate is enabled to do the first two years of university work, for +he universitv courses of the lower division are given as extensively as they can be handled with the facilities and resources now at hand. Although all the requirements of the varied departments of the state university can not be met, yet the general preparation for the upper-division courses is the same as is given either at Berkeley or Stanford. In 1907 the state legislature passed an act authorizing the establishment of junior colleges, and so great has been their success that by June 30, 1918, there were twenty-two in California, with a total enrollment of one thousand five hundred and sixty-one stu dents. The educators of every progressive community are eager to ea incorporate this idea into their educational system and so have a local institution of genuine collegiate character. In every way the state university encourages and assists the work. The additional courses are considered beneficial to the high schools and, indeed, one of the objects of the junior college is “to secure a closer articu- lation of colleges’ and high schools’ work.” The small classes and the directing of the individual student’s work by the instructor bring very thorough results. In fact, the 1915 number of the University’s Annual Bulletin on the junior college in California states that the average of the grades of the junior college students has been slightly higher in upper-division work’ than the general university average. The advantages of the iunior college are twofold. The most obvious is the financial benefit to those who are ambitious for higher education and plan to complete their schooling either at a normal or a university. By remaining at home and doing the same work they are saved the expense of living away while attending an educa tional institution which for two years would be a minimum of approximately one thousand dollars. This opportunity is not limited to residents of Santa Rosa, but is available to any high school grad- uate in the county, for means of transportation, now provided by the school, make his attendance possible. The second advantage of the junior college is that it gives an opportunity for a well rounded education and the pursuit of some particular. line of work to those who do not intend to go on to college. The establishment of these schools is but another phase ol THE ECHO bringing education to the masses. Since a democratic people must be an educated necple, every tendency is to extend the scope of the school system Every additional educational opportunity is a pro- vision for better citizenship. So when a junior college was started last fall in Santa Rosa it was another step forward in the proficiency f the state school system: The enrollment was encouraging for a department just organ- ized, the origina! number being nineteen. Naturally the college feit the country’s call to arms, for before the end of the first semester several of the yourg men left to enter the Student Army ‘Training Corps. Others dropped out, but with the beginning of the secon: semester new students increased the number. Since the idea in establishing the new branch is to utilize all the school facilities to the utnwost extent. the library of the local high school was assigned as a study hall for the students. The cottrses offered for the tirst senvester included trigonometry, analytic geometry, English, Latin, !rench, chemistry, and English history, and for the second seniester a continuance of these courses and also synthetic projective zeometry. It has not-yet been possible to organize a gymnasium class, although this is planned. The stu lents have been very fortunate in having such highly qualified eachers as make up the faculty. Miss Mahel Nelson is teacher of mathematics, Miss O. Machette of Enejish, Miss Vesta Gray of chemistry, Miss Mary Leddy of latin, Miss Lydia Walker French, and Mr. I. D. Steel of historvy.. All- work under the capable direction of Mr. Montgomery. The Junior College, although working in harmony with all high school activities, has a sepdrate student organization, the members of which have the privilege of joining the high school student body. Phe first election resulted in the choice of Sarah Fiske as president ; laura Whitney, vice president ; Cecil Swanets, secretary and treas- urer; Fern Powell and Andrew Lagan as governing board repre- sentatives. Changes were later niade as the president and secretary- treasurer left college, Verrel Weber being then elected president and Laura Whitney secretary and treasurer. The student organ- ization voted to have the same officers during the second semester, thereby establishing the rule of annual elections. Pins for the class were selected and the colors of the state university, as a matter of course, became those of the Junior College. The epidemic of influenza and the necessary closing of schools in Santa Rosa caused several unexpected but not unwelcome vaca- tions. Restrictions on parties, as a precaution against the spread of sickness, prevented to some extent the development of the social side of college life. Plans for a dance to be given by the Senior class had fo be foregone. However, there were several plasant affairs which the students enjoyed. A party was given at the home of Verrel THE ECHO Weber, the Freshman receptions were attended, and on the occasion of the circus given by the high school, the Junior College participated by giving a burlesque of the League of Nations, the various countries being represented by the students, wearing characteristic national costumes. The members of the college also held a picnic at Sonoma, where they attended a tennis match and baseball game between the Santa Rosa and Sonoma’ High Schools. The atmosphere of the Junior Calleve has been most agreeable. The utmost friendliness and good fellowship have prevailed among the students, and between them: and the faculty the greatest cor- diality. The earnestness and enthusiasm of the students have in every way been encouraged by the instructors. The new college has heen felt by everyone to be worthy of his best efforts, and under Mr Montgomery’s splendid supervision may well be expected to srow into an institution of size and importance. Laura Whitney. EDITH CAVELL When earth reeled under man’s despotic sway, nd thoughts of men were turned to bloody deeds ; One who the !aw of service did obey Devoted all her strength to England’s needs. She new that death would be her cruel fate, sut still she did not fear to lay life down And join the company of those who wait That time may bring them justice or renown. Though dead in body, she will always live Within the hearts of all her fellowmen.

Se re ID. dWOINDL 2) q oO oa) ea] a0) H THE ECHO JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As Told by the Study Hall Clock From my position here on the wall at the left of the study hall desk, I have had a fine opportunity to become acquainted with the various classes of this school, and my favoritism has always been bestowed upon the class of 1920. When this class entered in 1916 as green Freshmen, they were as game and peppy a class as has ever entered this school. It was also the largest class of the school, having over seventy members, and although it has lost many of its members it has lost none of its pep or school spirit. This I know from my own observance. Qne day in the first part of their Fresh- man term, I heard two girls, who had come up to the dictionary at the bookshelves presumably to cok up some big words. talking of the splendid time they had had at the Freshman reception given for them by the Upperclassmen. They also spoke of Ed. Newman and Will Spooncer as their representatives on the track. As Freshmen they elected Margaret Stump for class president. ; I | Then in 1917 I saw these Freshmen lose their childish manners and assume the more grown-up airs of the Sophomores. That term they elected Mildred Button for their president. It was during that term that I heard Mr. Montgomery anneunce that there would be a Sophomore picnic that afternoon, with Miss Fisher and Miss Koepke as chaperons. The accounts which I heard of that picnic were most alluring. Oh, how good those toasted marshmallows and weenies must have tasted eaten on the bank of the Russian river! I heard them speak that term of Billie Wright and Will Spooncer as their athletes. And then in 1918 came the most longed-for promotion. They were Juniors! Upperclassmen! They began by electing as class president Jewel Hodgson. For the second term Elaine Nielson was chosen as president. Scme of the noted members of the class that term were Melvin Brooks, the baseball manager; Daisy Graham, literary editor of the “Echo”; Billy Wright, the star tennis player, and John Lucas, second baseman on the baseball team. And now, as I tick-tock my way through the year to come, this class will have reached the crowning year of their high school days. They will be Senicrs, and I shall watch them with great interest, knowing they will excel any previous Senior class of this school. —Catherine Starkey ’20. THE ECHO THE ECHO 21 LEYS Gor Well. look us over. Aren’t we some class? You can’t kill the Blue and Gold. Do you think we crow too much? Well, if stop a momeut I'll tell you about the nice little record we’ behind us, We surely had a warm welcome into the school. The tea given to the girls was about the best time imaginable. men got acquainted with the Upnerclass girls, whe certainly suc ceeded in ceiving every one a Sor d time. Will you ever forget our “Fresh Reception”? Of course that’s in the dim past, now that we are dignified Sophs, but we do remember that hard times party. There were prizes given for the most original costumes, and [ should have hated to choose the best amone the clever hard times outfits that were there. Oh. do vou remember the way we walked away with the inter in our Freshman year? ‘The Seniors were a pitiful look bunch for a few days after their Waterloo. Sophs have kept up. our record, and in the interclass ‘ar. although our old enemies, the Seniors, vot ahead of vem an awtully close second, Phe way everyone helped and brought candy or money to the candy sale was something to be proud of, and we were able to turn in a nice little pile of money to the good cause. Wasn't the girls’ track meet the real thing, though? ‘The way «hose Sophomores do sail around the track! As was heard in a class meeting not long ago, “We've got sonie fast eirls in the Sophomore elass:” The boys were out in full force all right, and they didn’t mind @ little thing like getting their suits torn or their eyes blacked when they were fighting to save our pennant from the clutches of the enemies. We have the original class spirit, and if you don’t believe it, just get us all together some time and hear us give six for the Sophomeres Bella Fiske ’2r. ba Ps a eS THE ECHO THE ECHO FRESHMAN CLASS As we look back over our I'reshman year we remember the many good times we have enjoyed. We can surely thank the upperclassmen for the kind welcome given us when we entered Santa Rosa High Schoo] Who doesn’t remember the first day at high school? How big the class rooms looked! .And how wise and dignified the older students seemed! But now we can call ourselves dignified Sophomores, and we are sure we have become a little wiser and a little more dignified. Our first school function was the reception given us by the upperclassmen. The reception occurred rather late in the term, having been postponed by the “flu.”. But when it was given it was a grand success. We were entertained during the evening by pantomimes and other stunts. And the “eats” were not for- gotten as plenty of cider and douxzhnuts were provided. For days before we had heard of the stunts which the upper classmen were going to make us perform. But the stunts proved nothing worse than marching around the gym. There was the keenest class rivalry during the entire term. It was especially noticeable at the girls’ track meet. Many of the Freshmen girls proved to be fine runners and jumpers. Edith Anderson won first place in the hurdles and high jump. Mary Tate, Thyra Morril, Berenice Morrow, Vivian Kidd, and many other Freshmen girls helped to hold up the honor of the Freshman class in the races. Mildred Russell and Mildred Wells starred for Freshmen in the baseball and basketball throw. Though we did not win the first place, we came in second. In the candy sale and in the interclass field meet, we took third place. Jefeatine the Juniors both times. I S 2 Elizabeth Thompson, ’20. O q 1S) al a a0) H Bie BP: CAO STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Verne President Bess Vice-President Secretary Treasurer SMITH [t has beer the desire of the Governing Boards for several vears to improve upon and make more effective the system of Gov- ernment vested in the Associated Students. The school vear of 1918-19, though interrupied by two en- forced vacations has made much improvement along this line. ‘The greatest task of the Board was the revision of the consti- tution of the Associated Students. The Amended Constitution was printed in ne at pamphlet form, and placed in the hands of the members of the student body. Heretofore many members have been unfamiliar with the rules of the association. Another great task was the settlement of an international dispute between Analy and S. R. H. S. Several forty-eight hour sessions were made necessary in examining witnesses and gathering evidence. It finally terminated in the payment of indemnities, the exchange of prisoners and a treaty of Everlasting Peace. It was necessary to place several new members on the Govern- ‘ng Board to represent the new activities taken up by the school. For the first time in the annals of the school the freshmen were given full democratic rights The class nominated and elected their representatives to the Governine [Poard. It had formerly be) 7 lB, EC been the custom of the Governing Board to choose these repre- sentatives. The fall term of 1918 surpassed all preceding terms in student body membership. It had been the intention of the members of the board to give several Student body entertainments with the money collected as dues, but the Influenza epidemic prevented them from carrying out their intentions. Only one student body pro- eram, was given during the term, but that was much appreciated by all who were fortunate enough to attend it. Having expended little money on student body programs, the governing board had more to expend on athletic activities. New suits were purchased for the basket ball and track teams. The baseball nine were also viven new suits, purchased with the money taken in from the ‘Circus.” Much money was voted out of the treasury to put the track in condition for dual and league meets. ther activities of the school that helped to swell and diminish the funds in the treasury were tennis, military training, basketball, baseball.

There were only two important features of our war program for the past year: the Red Cross drive and War Work Campaign. During the Red Cross drive, the members of all the English classes were required to prepare four-minute talks on the Red Cross. The best one from each class spoke in assembly, and irom these were chosen those to speak at the churches. Those who spoke at the i churches were as iollows: Baptist. - Tsay Daisy Graham Christian Se oa ee Deatnices Allison Christian , Helen Crane Lethodist Broth ee Je vel Mall ry Gospel Tabernacle aed ..Henry Schaefer Federated Churches... Frank L, Fenton During the war work campaign, Chief White Elk gave a most interesting talk before the student hody. Chief White Elk is a full- blooded Cherokee Indian, and when he spoke to us he wore the costume of a Cherokee chief. He t id us many interesting things about his people, and he spoke also of his experience in the war. Over fifteen hundred dollars were pledged by the students of the school, and nearly all the money has been paid in. The girls of the school astonished us by pledging more money than the boys. STUDENT BODY PROGRAM Only one student body program was held during the fall term, owing to ow: two enforced vacations. The one program given, however, was very good. During the latter part of February, we were entertained for over an hour one afternoon by the University of California Glee Club. Resides the singing, which was excel- lent, there were instrumental numbers, sleight-of-hand tricks and amusing monologues. The’ quality of the program made up for the small quantity of student body entertainments during the year.

Thar was i UY! everything that you ever seed at a circus and more NIAS, X, two. They was needin’ some money down at that thar school and Mr. Hodge, who seems to be a right smart young feller, thought of givin’ a circus. Well, law me, that man started sumpin. Every last pusson in that school was workin’ for it, from them as they call the Freshmen to the head puffessor, And, Samanthy Ann, they took in two hundred and forty dollars! Nigh enough to buy a Ford, by heck! “At noon they began to sell cake and pie and sich, so as you wouldn’t haf to go ‘way to get anything to eat, and by gum! that was the best cake—oh, course Samanthy, t’wasn’t as good as yours, I mean t’was the best cake that any city pusson ever made. Since 1] had a bit o’ time left after I got thru eatin’ cake, before the parade was to commence, | went to what they call a fish pond. T’wasn’t no pond a tall. You went up and took a holt of a pole and pulled up a string with sumpin fastened at the end. And just look here, i got this diamend ring for a cent! “About this time it was gittin’ near time fur the parade, so | went out back of the school to see it. The fust thing was a band what made more racket than our pigs at feedin’ time. Thar was a fat lady in the parade that had a train and thar was some little boys that kept a-follerin’ her around a-steppin’ on it ’til it was nigh tore off. Thar was some cannibals, too, and law me they was fierce lookin’ with their clubs and the rings in their noses. They told me that the cannibals didn’t eat nuthin’ but raw meat, but | guess the she-cannibal warn’t so fierce as t’other one ‘cause [ saw her eatin some popcorn after the parade. Never-the-less, I warn’t very keen on gettin’ close to’em. Thar were some perfectly harmless niggers in the parade aiso, and somie clowns and such like. “After the parade was over, I went upstairs to see this here Peace Conference that we all been readin’ about in the Punkinsville Gazette. T’warn’t much peace about it as I could see; with their bombs and guns it sounded for all the world like Bedlam let loose. “Then I went to hear them darkies in the minstrel show. I iaughed so much that I got a stitch in my side and I thot it was sure goin’ to take me off. And Samanthy, thar was a bride in that show what was fixt up real purty. I wisht you could of seen her. Upstairs they had a flower show, which warn't nuthin’ but piles aa nc rr nn nnn SEEEEEEEESSEIIAAENOSIEEESE REPU DHE ECHO of meal, a human monkey, they called it, but it was nuthin’ but a lookin’ glass, thar warn't no monkey there. Thar was one thing that jest dumfounded me. They had a girl disappear right before your eyes, and I'll be goshdinged if she didn’t go right up in smoke! “After that I went over to t’other building and saw the Siamese twins and a lot of other things, and when I came out of there I was agoin’ down the hali in one of the rooms I seed the she-cannibal a-eatin’ popcorn, but I didn’t go in for fear she might think I was better’n popcorn. Upstairs I seen a fashion show, and Samanthy, I reckon that hoop skirt up in the attic ain’t out yet cause they had one there. After the fashion show I went into another place where they said to have my picture took. They asked me if I wanted water-color and I said I reckoned I did and by heck if they didn’t shoot water in my face. I saw the sunrise in there, too, only some one spoiled it’ by hitten’ me in the face with a wet sponge. Then thar was a king and queen that was tellin’ secrets and when I went to sit down I'll be gosh-dinged if the chair didn’t bust and I went on the floor. From there I went to another room and saw that it was a baby show a nd they was squallin’ so I left again ‘cause I reckon I seen enough babies in my day. “Then I went back to t’other building, and on the way I seed a big crowd, so I went over to see what was there and it was a shoot- the-shoots or sumpin’ like that. I went down even if my feet was hangin’ over the edge. When I went in to see a fortune teller and I’ll be blest if she didn’t tell me that I was matried and that I was a farmer! She was a powerful wise lady, by heck! Then I went into whar they was dancin’, but they didn’t do any of the dances that I knowed, so T went over to whar they had sumpin’ to drink. I was a-goin’ to drink out’n the bucket, but they told me not to and give me a little glass. Shucks, I had to drink ten of ’em before I knowed I had any. I stayed ’til everyone hegan to go, so I went out, and on the way I peeked in a door and I seed ’em countin’ the money. Law me! it looked more like a million than two hundred and forty. Gosh, Samanthy, I wish you could of seed that circus!” THE ECHO BURBANK DAY On the seventh of March the annual fete in honor of Burbank’s birthday was held. The exercises of all the Schools were carried out on the High School lawn this year, instead of each school giving its Own program on its own grounds. This arrangement permitted Mr. and Mrs. Burbank to see all the programs without having to go from school to school. The exercises of the grammar schools were very good. The Burbank School presented a beautiful pantomime, “The Sleeping Beauty.” The gaily dressed fairies and courtiers made a very pretty scene. The pupils of the Fremont School gave a Poppy Dance, in which the dancers were dressed to represent poppies. The singing of the Lincoln School chorus was greatly enjoyed. There were many features in the High School program. Both the boys’ and the girls’ gymnasium classes went through their exercises in a very creditable manner. ‘The girls’ classes also per- formed several dances. One of the prettiest of these was the “Weavers’ Dance.” The girls wore brig! it colored dresses and white Dutch caps, making a most pleasing appearance. Another interest- ing feature of the afternoon was the singing by the students of the High School, led by Mr. Maile. They sang many popular songs, and a third verse was added to “Bluebird” by Miss O’Connor, in honor of Mr. Burbank. The Cadets drilled before the spectators, and they showed that their hours of work had born fruit. The Cadets stood at attention while the audience sang “America,” making a very effective close for the program. During the day a tulip tree, presented to the school by Mr. O. E. Bremner, was planted at the southeast corner of the Annex. We were very miuch pleased with the gift, for in a few years the tree will relieve the barrenness of that part of the vard. I THE ECHO THE ORCHESTRA Although the orchestra has labored under difficulties this term, il they have, under the leadership of Mr. Ma aile, accomplished consid- erable. There are now sixteen members in the orchestra. We had hoped to have a very much larger number, but we have been dis- appointed. Perhaps one reason for the comparative smallness of our orchestra is the fact that the only period available for practise is the ninth, and this period conflicts with the science classes, the girls’ gymnasium class, and the Cadets’ drill riod Next term we hope to have a period during the day for the orchestra, the same as any other subject. About a third of the members are Junior High students, a fact that speaks well for the future of the orchestra. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Violins: Elaine Nielson, Helen Chakurian, Ruth Feliz, Drusilla Valbot, Louise Saare. Judson Steele, Elizabeth Winters and Ells- worth Barnett. Piano: Edith McGuire and Frank I’enton. Clarinets: Harotd Nielson and [ee Kurlander. Cornets: Claire Wilson and Armand Saare. Ito: Armas Saarinen. ‘Trombone Romollie Gemetti. a ene Tom Me‘Suire. CIRCLA HISPANICA Pore a small and obscure corner in School Activities, is newly organized Cirecla Hispanica, otherwise known as_ the the Spanish Club, which was organized by Miss Breu for the purpose f promoting Spanish conversation. To the accomplishment of this arrangements are being made to correspond with pupils of South American high schools; aiong with this, there will be con- ducted an extensive study of these countries. Our first social event, if it could be called that, was a swim- ming expedition upon the river. A jolly good time was enjoyed by all, and Miss Bren proved to be an ideal chaperone. We are planning to go on hikes and weenie roasts and have a few dances, then, when we have become thoroughly acquainted we shall exclude all English and speak Spanish exclusively. The officers: of the organization are: Verrel Weber president, Ruth Break, vice-president, Beatrice Allison secretary, and T.eona Neilson treasurer. Vv. W THE ECHO COMMERCIAL CLUB Among the school activities is the newly organized Commercial Club, which was formed for the purpose of creating a higher standard in commercial subiects. During the assembly period, meetings are heid in which various subjects are discussed. Scholar- ship is given particular attention. Students whose standard in -chool subjects is S-|- or above, will be eligible for membership in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which Mrs. Nason expects to organize early in the fall semester. ‘Lhe officers for the term are: Elmer Near, president; Frank Grace, vice-president; Genevieve Bussman, secretary; Al Lucas, treasurer. There is an executive board of five members. The objects of the club are to h id contests in the different commercial subjects, such as typing for speed and accuracy, shorthand contest, and rapid calculation. An employment bureau will be one of the new features next semester. Sa15 Se lbsrmig Aiko) STUDENT’S BOOK EXCHANGE The Student’s Book Exchange has been a notable factor in school activities for the past two years. t the present time the Book Exchange is situated in the office of the Annex, formerly occupied by the school Savings Bank. It is in charge of Stanley Everett, who is a member of the Commercial Department, and as a recognition of his trust, a member of the Goyerning Board. The Exchange is a clearing house for used books. Those students who wish to sell their books to other students, do through the Exchange, which charges a small commission of ten per cent on all sales. As a result of this efficient activity, more than one hundred books have been transferred since September 1918, thereby saving students many dollars, and turning over to the Student Body treasury several dollars received in commissions. DI THE ECHO MILITARY The California High School Cadets were first organized in the Santa Rosa High School during the second semester of the year 1918, During the first of the term a meeting was held in the gym- nasium for the purpose of putting before the boys of the school the necessity of military training in the high schools. A company of eighty was formed, showing the eagerness of the boys for the chance of receiving a military training. Under the good ieadership of Major Hodge the boys soon made great progress in their training. “he Cadets during the first month of their training had to drill in their civilian clothes, until their uniforms were ready. During the beginning of the drilling the Cadets soon showed their military genins. The Cadets drill three times a week on the erounds east of the high school, drilling forty-five minutes each day. Major Hodge, Captain Carithers, First Lieutenant Smith and Second Lieutenant Wilson have undertaken the work of building a rifle range, so the Cadets will not only receive the drilling, but also the training in marksmanship. ‘They have also had a little training in hand grenade ihrowing and wigwag signaling. Since the close of the war the Cadets have not lost their interest ia their training. Jn fact, the company has increased since the Cadets have made a good showing to the other boys of the school, who have seen since the outcome of the war the necessity of a military training. The Cadets have put a great deal of enthusiasm into the life of the school. During the celebration of Luther Burbank’s birthday the Cadets participated in the pageant given in honor of him. They eave a splendid drill before the people of the town, who have since taken an interest in the training of the Cadets. Che Cadets have planned in the summer months to take two or three hikes into the hilis and receive the actual experience of army life. They have also planned to give a dance, but owing to the influenza epidemic they had to postpone their dance until later in the term. ielvin Snoderass ‘21 Th SEC rs© AGRICULTURE America’s greatest farm problem cannot be solved by a single factor. The combined factors of many large aud small forces will be necessary to bring about the desired result. | Before eoing further let us decide “What is the Great Farm Problem of our Country?” For the answer all that is necessary is to refer to 4 the report of the Committee on Country Life appointed for this TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION purpose by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910--by “Roosevelt”, that ereat American whose foresight, prepared in advance to meet the problems that threatened the destiny of our Nation. Briefly, the Cammittee report may be summed up as follows: “To maintain on American farms, Americans of the best type, whose ideals and conduct represent fairly the ideals of American Democ- racy.” Greatest of all‘iactors for accomplishing this result is that of Education—especially practical agricultural education which in- fluences the accomplishment of good results in both class room and community. With this idea in mind the S. R. H. S. took advantage of the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 and opened up a Department of Agricul- ture, offering the first year of a four year course in Vocational Agriculture. One half of the Director’s time is given to instruction, the oth er to the supervision of home projects. The pupils spend THE ECHO the first half day at the school studying the practical application of Enelish, Mathematics and Science of Farming, as well as other subjects including farm mechanics, hygiene, sanitation and citizen- ship. During the second half of the day the students return to their homes in the country to work on their farm projects—a special business enterprise of their own. If they are successiul in this course thev are supposed to make and save more than if they remained out of school and worked for the going wage. An elective course in productive Agriculture is also given to a special class of boys who are enrolled in the regular High School course. Twenty boys in all are studying agriculture, each working en one or more farm projects, a reyiisite absolutely necessary in order to receive access +o the class. The method of instruction involves a rather marked departure trom the usual form of high school work. The book, the pencil, and the blackboard no longer are the vrime tools in school work Sitting at a desk, reading, and an- swering the teacher's questions in a manner ta satisfy him; are no ionger the chief means of acquiring an education. The student is not looked upon as a receptacle to be filled with knowledge through eyes and ears,-and to be tapped occasionally through questions and examinations in order to ascertain the degree of his fullness. The whole procedure of the course is based upon the thesis that learn- “ne is an active, and not a passive process. The student must ‘earn to grow crops by growing crops, to feed animals by feeding -hem, to construct appliances by building them, to run machines Dy running them, so sell produce by selling it, to manage farm enterprises by managing them. In other words, to enter intel- +e ligently into practical farm life he must, as far as possible, learn n the school, farm life. He will learn the structure and development of the endogenous dlant, not by reading about palm trees and diagraming their stems, THE ECHO but by an actual following up of the corn plant through the seasonal development. He will learn the metamorphosis of the lepidoptera and coleoptera, not through a midwinter reading of descriptions and surveys of ventral and dorsal views, but by an active dealing with the cabbage butterfly and potato heetle from egg to imago. Elis mathematics and his physics and his chemistry will deal with the actual problems that he must meet in life, his social studies with the world in which he lives. Now this procedure very deiinitely means that a large part of his learning must be acquired under conditions that are not pos sible in the class room. He will be in the laboratory, in the shop, in the field, or at home during many of those hours in which his fellows must have their noses in their books. Turther, his scho year is one of twelve months and not of nine. The proof of his achievements comes not in passing examinations merely, but in accomplishing results. Results will lie not in the superintendent’s office, but in wages earned, properiy accumulated, money profits, and the sense of social service. s yet, it is rather early to write of achievements. This cannot be done until next fall when the boys will report their 43 project acreg. Twelve boys own registered Berkshires, the cream of the Brush herd that won the National Championship of America in 1917 at the stock show in Omaha, and the others from the famous Castle View ranch. So far eight sows have farrowed and the boys are finding ready sales for their registered stock at very fancy prices. This year the Sa nta Rosa High School Berkshire Club will have over 60 pure bred pigs to disseminate to the farmers of this country. Basing on this year’s results the Santa Rosa High School Club will be able to furnish at least 120 choice pigs with registration papers showing the high- est pedigree to the farmers of the county, and the State, for breed ing purposes. It can easily be seen that High School achievements of this sort will soon have a far reaching effect upon the commun ity. Gils ho ENDL eg SiO) How I Grew my Corn Crop WAS VERY NEAR ito plowing time before I decided to enter the corn contest. Hearing of a farmer who had fairly good seed, I went to him and bought what I thought would be enough to plant my acre. I found yume Out ater when I shelled it that there was not enough, so I had to buy more from another farmer. My next work was to test the corn. Taking six kernels from each ear, I placed them in a large box of sandy soil in such a way that each hil! wouid contain the six kernels from one cob. The cobs were marked 1, 2, 3, etc., by pinning a slip of paper with the number on the end of the cob so that the rows of hills would form squares. In this way I could tell what kernels belonged to each ear. {Vhen the corn began to grow I checked the ears that had no kernels growing hese cars were thrown out. Being a very busy season, it was late before I could get the ground plowed, ‘The land was very dry in spots, and was rather hard to plow. This work was done on April 19, tr918. The ground was harrowed and double disced on the same day. On May rst, 2nd and 3rd, the ground was again gone over with the harrows and disc until it was loose and all the clods broken up. Aifter walking across the field, One could see his footprints where he had stepped. May 4th I began planting. I put the rows about 2 feet 10 inches apart, and about two and one-half or three feet between hills. An ordinary hand planter was used and 3 or 4 kernels were dropped at each hill. About one-seventh of the acre planted did not come up, the reason being that the ground was too dry, and also that gophers succeeded in getting the carn or the young plants coming up. So, on May 30th I went over the field and replanted, planting the seed about 4 or 5 inches deep to reach the moisture of the soil. In many places this replanting did no good. THE ECHO By June ist the corn was about half a foot high, and so I began thinning out the plants, leaving two or three plants to the hiil, according to the distance from the hills. On June 6th I culticated deeply, going over the field once with a small one-horse cultivator. On June 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th [ suckered the corn, pulling up or breaking off the suckers coming up. Next week, on the 25th, I again cultivated, but not going down auite so deep in the cultivating. Weeds had began to grow between the plants where the cultivator could not get at them, and so one day | hoed these out. A few small suckers began to come up, and these I pulled off. July 5th ! finished my work of suckering and cuitivating. On October 12th I went through the corn field with a picking bag, and picked the ears from the plants that were most hardy look- ing and matured. In another week I again went over the field the same way. This corn was placed in a dry, well protected place, where mice could not get at it. On October 25th I began harvesting my crop. I took a sharp d hoe and chopped down the stalks, which were then thrown into a wagon and hauled out of the field. As soon as it was all home ' started in husking. As I husked I threw the ears into prune trays. By doing this [ could stack up the corn if rain appeared to be approaching. Also it made it easy to sack, as I could shovel it into the sacks with a scoop shovel. ‘The total weight of the crop was 3,349 i-4 pounds. Out of this I gave one-third (1,117 pounds) to my father for the rent. My next work was the seed corn. I picked up some old wire fencing that had been thrown aw ay and cut it up, leaving one main wire, and on this attached short wires on which the ears were placed. The strings of seed were then hung from the rafters in the barn. If I had to grow this crop of corn over again, I would in the first place see that the ground was plowed before it had become too dry. This was the main reason why so much of the seed planted would not grow. Hector Mitchie, 19. THE ECHO SOCIAL Owing to the school term being so broken into by various “flu” vacations, not much has been done in the social line. FRESHMAN RECEPTION On Decembei 7, 1918, the Upperclassmen gave the entering Freshmen a reception. This time the entire party was run by the students. Chairmen of the various committees were appointed by the governing board, and were as follows: Finance committee, Walter Lamore: music, Bess Godman; refreshments, Helen Crane; reception and entertainment, Beatrice Allison. A short but interesting program was given after the young people had gathered. The program began with a tight rope exhi- bition by Miss Estelle Hudson. One of the most interesting things on the program was the skit which took off the teachers’ mannerisms in dress, speech and action, in which the Upperclassmen showed their ability to mimic to periection. The skit “Did He?”, given by Walter Lamore, Verrel Weber, Beatrice Allison, Wendell Wilson and Ernest Allen, was worthy of a place on the vaudeville stage, and turnished no end of fun for the young people. A tragedy in three acts proved to “be a scream.” It was any- :hing but tragic in its effect upon the audience, which was kept in roars of laughter throughout its presentation. After the program the remaining time was given to dancing. Cider and doughnuts were served during the evening. Our accom- plished student body president, Verne Smith, gave an address of welcome to the entering “baby class,” to which Elizabeth Thomp- son, president of the 9A class responded. The second Freshman reception was on Saturday evening, April 5th. The students were in full control, and have now shown the Mothers’ Club that they are capable of running their own parties. The decorating committee labored hard and long on Saturday after- noon decorating the gymnasium. Aiter five o’clock several boys coming in noted the decorations, and deciding they did not like them, tore them down and replaced tiein with some “weeping willows” and white flowers, which were a marked improvement on the first. The Upperclassmen will take this opportunity to thank Melvin Snodgrass, Ernest Price, Maleolm Weeks and Percy Alexanderson for their work. It was very much appreciated. The evening program came off nicely. Thanks are extended to Walter Lamore for his good sportsmanship in leading the singing when he didn’t know the words. Those yells and the leader— neither can be beaten. T! appreciated it. it was so unusual; the floor was fine and the music 1e punch was good this time, and everyone THE ECHO “heavenly.” Verne Smith made the Freshmen a very clever “wel- come” speech, and made the “babies” feei at home. The Freshman class president, 'rancis Piazzi, gave a very nice response. The Freshmen were given striped sticks of candy appropriately colored. Everyone, even the Mothers, voted the evening to be one of the most pleasant spent at any Hi school party. mere CHAMBERLAIN’S RECITAL An audience appreciative, although not large, greeted the Chamberlains in their performance at the Annex Auditorium. A group of songs from Handel, another of English ballads and ‘nodern war songs, were among the treats offered to his hearers by Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain has a splendid voice. His tones are well placed and his good diction was particularily noticed. Miss Chamberiain, the talented young violinist , was well re- ‘eived. She has a wonderful techniqne and a very fair tone. The future will undoubtedly hold a great place for her budding genius. Mrs. Chamberlain’s accompaniments provided over half the evening’s enjoyment. ‘Ter preludes were full of sympathy, and the spirit of her work entered fully into that of her artistic husband and daughter This concluded the even'ne’s performance, and the curtain fell vith everyone satisfied with the results. Much thanks should be extended to Mr. Maile for his efforts and help, in bringing Mr. Chamberlain and his family to Santa Rosa to sing for the students and for the public. ue JUNIOR COLLEGE PARTY lthough postponed so many times that it began to seem a the Junior Ccllege party actually took place in the Gym Friday evening, May 23rd. The |] there was plenty of it, and the music couldn’t be surpassed. So it all was prettily decorated. the punch was splendid. and goes without saying that with all these, nothing short of an ex- tremely good time could be enjoyed by anyone. For some unknown reason the Seniors failed to appear in large numbers, but after they learned what they had missed, they all regretted the fact that they had not attended. Miss Walker, Miss Matchette, Miss Nelson, Miss Gray, Mrs. F B. Hatch, Mrs. D. Dixon, Mrs. I. D. Steele and Mrs. T. I Brownscombe were patronesses. The party was under the inanagement of the president of the Junior College, Verrel Weber. The committees were, Music, Andy Lagan and Alida Showers; refreshments, Laura Whitney, Eloise Robbins, Dorothy Adams and Elsie Moore; Fern Powell and Inez THE ECHO Russell had charge of the program, while the college as a whole acted on the decoration committee. Andrew Lagan, ably assisted by Mr. Nason and Mr. Luke, acted as floor manager The party ran over the usual time, but those present didn’t seem to mind it in the least, and all declared they had the very best time ever. It is to be hoped that the Junior College will follow up this ance with others equally successfnl. WELCOMING THE RETURNING SOLDIERS Many boys, in the uniform of their country, who were rly graduates of Santa Rosa High School, visited the scho day, May 16th. roval weicon vas @iven them.

They are John Coon, Harold Mc Means, Merle.Gregorv. Elmer Fresher, Thomas Smith, Charles Thompson and Miss Cara Keech, who served as a Red Cross nurse. The entertainment closed by the singing of our dearly beloved song “America.” THE CANDY SALE April 18 was one of the most exciting days of our school year. In the afternoon there was a lively field meet with Analy, but that is dealt with elsewhere. I am to tell of another interesting feat- ure of the day, the candy sale, held to raise money for the Echo. Each class had a decorated booth. The Juniors used the school colors, orange and black, and the Seniors used their class colors, sed and white, while the Sophomores and Freshmen used flowers for decorations. Class spirit ran high, and a good sum) was raised, as follows: Seniors, sixteen dollars and sixty-five cents; Sophomores fourteen dollars: Freshmen, seven dollars and fifteen cents; Juniors four dollars and forty cents. making a total of forty-two dollars and wenty: cents. PUBLIC SPEAKING While the public speaking class is an innovation of the last year at Santa Rosa High School, it is already taking a credible part in the school activities, and has presented several interesting one act plays, in addition to doing other wark. First given of the plays was a charming little comedy entitled “Six Cups of Chocolate,” in which Lillian Rinner, Laura Birkhofer. Mildred Button, Marylee Patton, Beatrice Allison and Marion Peter son played the parts, respectively, of the romantic girl, the southern girl, the fashionable New York debutante, the western girl, the aristocratic Bostonian maiden and the French mademoiselle, all young college gurls of the town of Hartford. Admiring the same handsome young man, the girls receive from him, after a very brief acquaintanceship, exceedingly sentimental love letters. each an almost exact duplicate of the other. The indignation of the girls upen discovering the fraud, and their characteristic actions and Sayings thereupon, formed no inconsiderable part of the motif of ‘he play. : “A Pot of Broth” was next given by the class, and elicited considerable praise from the students: It portrayed the coming of a beggarman to the house of Syhbe Cornellia, a peasant of the Irish countryside who had no great reputation for charity. At first refused food, the begearman, by the pretended use of a “majic™ stone, for which he needs, first a pot and some water, nothing more, he assured her (except a little cornmeal, a few cabbage leaves, etc.) Other ingredients he slyly adds, the while Sybbe’s eyes are blinded by his love-making. Sybbe is astounded by the savouriness of his brew, and purchases the stone from him by the provisions for ¢ dinner to be given the “praist’” that midday. The beggar departs as the “praist” is discerned descending the road from a nearby hill- top, coming to a dinnerless house. In other lines as weil. the students of this class took part. Several members vave Red Cross speeches, when such speeches were in vogue, while on Washineton’s birthday all the members g : Darticipated in readings on the iiietime of this first beloved President of our land. Upon Lincoln’s birthday, Howard Kirby gave “The Nationai Flag,” and Marylee Patton a charming recital of “A Toast to the Flag.” But by far the most important work of the term was the par- ticipation in the Shak ‘speare contest held in the Greek Theatre at Berkeley. Howard Kirby and Lanra Tirkhofer were sent to this affair, being the winners in an elementary contest held at this high school, and these two speakers gave their parts before the student body. —Lawrence Hart.

THE ECHO THE “ECHO’S” PAGE Thinking it might be of interest to the student body to know something about this issue ol the “Echo,” the editors take this opportunity to speak of it. This vear’s Literary Contest was the most successiul ever carried on Over fifty manuscripts, poems, stories and essays inclusive, were subinitted, the largest number ever submitted in such a contest So excellent were the papers as a whole that the judg 1 1 great difficulty in determining which were the best.

There are a number of new features in this issue, the bool plate, directions for reading the “Echo” (Alfred Poulsen is respon sible for these) frontispiece, “In Memoriam,” the Students’ chieve- ment page, this page and others. Every cut in the book is ¢ new one, forty-three all told. This “Echo” is twenty pages larger than the 1917 issue, the largest previous “Echo,” All this required more money than could be raised through advertising and subscriptions. The candy sale raised about $42 for the “Echo.” Mr. Chamberlain’s recital, the girls’ track meet, and ice cream were all means of making money. On the day of the Northwestern League meet fourteen gallons of ice cream were sold. One of the chief objects of the editors was to make this “Echo” a little different from previous ones. To this end the shape, cover design and general arrangement have been changed, and some of the standard features altered in detail. Thus this year’s Horoscope is a report trom the Santa Rosa Insane Asylum, and the Prophecy is in newspaper form. Financially the “Echo” was a success. This year the “Echo” is published by the student body, not by the Senior class, and we, the editors, are responsible to you, the students, for the paper. How do you like it? —The Editors. THE: ECHO BASKET BALL BASKET BALL TEAM Our baseball season strrted early this year. Our athletic director, Coach Hodge, made a call for basketball men late in Sep- tember, and a large number of fellows turned out. lwo teams were formed, the unlimited and 130 pound, one team practicing in the afternoon and the other in the evening. Coach Hodge gave everyone in equal chance, putting both former players and beginners through the rudiments, and then teaching them the fine points of the game. Unlimited Team The team, as Coach Hodge finally chose it, consisted ol loore, center and captain ; Mallory, Herbert and Adams, forwards Kidd and Morrill, guards.

LHE ECHO TENNIS Aegan mmorrennens: - TEAM Bill Wright George lennis is a new sport in S. R. 1. S. We have worked for several years for tennis courts on our school grounds, but we haven’t obtained them as yet. The credit for our having courts to play on should be given to Mr. Hodge. He aroused interest among the students and persuaded the Board of Education to obtain for the students the privilege of playing on the courts of the S. R. Tenis Club. Immediately after Christmas the students began to play. During oi our many “flu” vacations, the court was crowded every day. The season started with the interclass tournament on April 3. The Juniors, Wright and Allan, won from the Freshmen, Cowan and Underhill, 6-2, 6-3 in the first match; and the Seniors, Carithers THE ECHO and Lone, won from the Sophomores, Adams and Alexanderson, 6-4, 6-3, in the second match.

For their work Wright and Long received their block 5. Next vear we hope to have tennis courts on the school grounds and to make tennis a major sport. BO a a a THE ECHO BASE BALL BASEBALL TEAM The season began about the middle of March and a team was quickly formed. rhe battery was composed of Dearing and Dibble catchers; Carithers and Near pitchers. The infield was an ex- cellent one as far as individual playing was concerne:l, and the fellows also displayed good team work. The infield was composed of red Sheppard at first; John Lucas at secend; Al Lucas at short stop and Cliff Morril at third. lor the outfield positions we had several good men, Frank Grace, Johnny Parmeter, Tom Grace, George Long and Herbert Work. The team was very good at the bat, Captain Sheppard, F. Grace, Parmeter, A. Lucas, Dearing and Morrill being the best. Parmeter was an excellent sacrifice hitter.

(se EC Eo FIELD WEE I st ERI 5 i HOR QRTHWEST i y (Onis! “RACK TEAM This year has been an extremelv successful one in track. We placed well up in the state meets; we were extremely successiul in duals, and in the two league meets which we were in, we took first both times. Our team this year was one of quality, not of quantity. Very few fellows were on the team, but they were first place men. The team can be divided into two groups, one composed of the veterans of several seasons, anda group of new and younger athletes. In the first group were: Moore, Lamore, Kidd and Mallory. Moore was our distance man and shot putter; Lamore was a crack sprinter and poie vaulter; Kidd was a sprinter and low hurdler; and Mallory was a high hurdler, and high and broad jumper. Among the athletes with less experience were: Dearing, hurd- ler and quarter miler; Snodgrass, hurdler and sprinter: Al a ee et EY Ye oes ee a ae ag, ne bs Cre 113 a Ss ee EE Ee a a a ag a A and javelin thrower ; Adams, sprinter and quarter miler: and Weeks, shot putter and sprinter. In one league we entered a one hundred and twenty pound team composed of Weeks, Haskell, Hudson and McTigue. Moore was the largest individual point getter of the season and the star of the team, while Lamore was a close second, with Weeks and Mallory next. Kidd was a star athlete but was ineligible for the league meets. N. C. S. of C. I. F. at Berkeley We sent four men to this meet on April 12. They were: Moore, Lamore, Dearing and Snodgrass. Moore took second in the mile and the half mile, and third in the shot. Lamore took fourth in the pole vault, giving S. R. H. S. a total of 9 points. Interclass On Apri? 15 the annual interclass was held. Many new fellows caine out and have since been training. Pete Moore ‘10, was the star of the meet, taking five first places. The Sophomores won the relay. The score: Seniors, 62 1-2; Sophomores, 35; Freshmen, 15; Juniors, J. Analy Dual On April .. we had a dual meet with Analy, and the black and orange was victorious. It was a close and hot contest throughout, and Analy athletes put up a hard fight. When the relay was run, the score stood so that whoever won it won the meet. The relay team for S. R. H.

Moore ran a close second in the 880, and took third in a fast mile. He took 5 points for S. R. and gave us eighth place in the meet in which over 5@ schools competed. Northwestern League On May Io the big m-eet of the year for our school was held on our own track. We had a large rooting section to cheer ur team, and they captured the first place, thus adding another first place banner to our collection in the assembly hall. Lamore was ‘he individual star of the entire meet, taking first in the 100, 220 and pole vault. Pete Moore came second, with first in the 885 and mile, and second in the shot put. Our other athletes, although not stars, gave a good account of themselves, Mallory winning the high hurdles, taking second in the broad and third in the high jump; Adams running strong second in the quarter; and Dearing taking third in the low hurdles and fourth in the 440. In the relay, our team, composed of Moore, Snodgrass, Adams and Lamore, lost first by a couple of feet and took second. In the 120 pound class, Weeks and Flaskell were the only men from S. R. to place. Weeks was the individual star of the 120 pound class, breaking one record and placing in two events. Weeks, in the 8 pound shot, broke the state record with a put of 42 feet 1 inch. Weeks is an excellent shot putter for his weight, and his form is second to-none. Haskell took third in the shot put, and Weeks tied for third in the 50 yard dash. After the meet was over and the medals had been distributed, we held a rally. We put the first place pennant on a javelin pole and the pole in the hands of Pete Moore, and organized the chain- gang, with Pete at the head. Results: (Abbreviations !—S.

Nearly all of the girls in the school are enrolled in the various gymnasium classes, and through their gymnasium work they have been brought in touch with athletics of various kinds. The gymnasium classes meet three times a week with Miss Dempsey. The aim of this year’s work has been mainly to train the girls to have a good posture and a graceful walk. The girls are required to wear a regulation gymnasium suit consisting of a white middy, black bloomers, black stockings, and sneaks. 4 The first part of the gymnasium period is taken up with Swedish gymnastics,-which develop the shoulder muscles, while the latter part of the period is devoted to folk or aesthetic dancing, or some game such as baseball, volley hall, or training for field and track events. On Burbank’s birthday the spectators were delighted with the gymnastics done by one girls’ gymnasium class, and the Weavers’ dance and Ochsdansen, presented by the other classes. The Weavers’ lance was especially effective, as the girls wore brilliant costumes. Altogether the work of this year has been very successful, even though it was the first year we have had physical training in the Hivh School. Next term more elaborate work is planned by Miss Deéinpsey. Tennis Tennis has proved to be the most popular sport of the girls. It is expected that next year a girls’ tennis team will be organized which will play the teams of rival neighboring schools, and beat them. Santa Rosa High School used to be noted for her girls’ basketball team. Next year she will be noted for her girls’ tennis team. Some of the players who can probably qualify for the team are Thyra Morrill, who is the star player; Ethel Graham, who is almost as good as Thyra; Helen Crane, and Elizabeth Thompson. With a little more practice, doubtless many of the other girls will he able to try out for the team. Some other of the S. R. H.S. players are: Vivian Kidd, Marian Belden, Thelma Coffey, Marylee Patton, Daisy Graham, Beatrice lhson, Helen Clarke, Mary Stewart, Eleanor Cockburn, Helen ethan LO 119 ‘Trint, Frieda Walker, Mildred Button, Clare Sullivan, Madeline Alexanderson, Julia Oakes, Jo MacCarthy, and others. Girls’ Field Meet Did you go to the girls’ track meet, Thursday, May 8? If you didn’t, you missed one of the best times of your life, and also of seeing what fine athletes some of the girls are. The meet was an interclass affair, and each class entered a full team except the Junior class, which, owing to its small size, did not have enough eligible members for the events. The girls had prac- ticed only about three weeks in their gymnasium classes to prepare ‘or this meet, but in spite of so little training 2 Ss) many of the girls did exceptionally well. The boys of the various classes came out in large numbers, and boosted their respective classes by rooting for them. [ach class had a bleacher on which they had their flag or class colors. Each class had a captain who selected the girls from her class for the various events, and helped their class to make a good show- ing. The various captains were as follows: Senior class, Estelle Hudson; Junior class, Daisy Graham; Sophomore class, Frances Brown; Freshmen class, Elizabeth Thompson. The judges of the meet were Miss Brown, Miss Weir, Miss Wenk, Miss Depsey, Miss Weber, Mr. Hodge, Mr. Steele and Mr, Maile. The Sophomores kept up their “peppy” reputation which they have acquired since entering school, and carried off the honors of | the meet, winning thirty points. The Freshmen were second with twenty-nine points to their credit, the Seniors won fifteen and two- thirds, and the Juniors three and a third points. Mildred Harris and Helen McCord starred for the Sophomore class, netting fourteen and seven points respectively. Mildred Russel and Edith Anderson carried off the laurels of the meet for the Freshmen class, each getting ten points. Helen Crane made ten points for the Seniors, and Olivia Burtchall made two of the Juniors’ three and a third points.

CADET DANCE The cadets have arranged a military ball to take place Friday evening, June twentieth, at the High School Annex. Arrangements are being made to complete plans and make this party one of the besi. Arrangements for the party are under the various heads: Roland Herbert, program: Shannon Turner, refreshments; Henry Shaefer, decoration; Steward McIntyre, music; Wendell Wilson, reception. The most interesting feature of the evening will be the grand march. This is the first dance given by the cadets, and all are looking forward to it with much pleasure. PICNIC, THURSDAY, MAY 29 The Senior-Junior picnic was held this year at Hilton. About sixty-five members of the two classes were present. A good time was had around the bonfire, roasting weenies. A good swim and boating were enjoyed, then the party departed to the dance hall at Summer Home Park and danced till late. The students were chap- eroned by members of the faculty and a few of the parents. Every- one voted the party a big success and wished there were time for an- other picnic during this term.
