But soon an ancient man drew near, A man with age and sorrow bent His tottering legs searee held him up, His brow with wrinkled care was rent. Upon his arm, his violin, Perhaps his one and dearest treasure, Was carried, and with fingers worn and thin He held it to his shoulder. With silent reverence, near profound, He drew the bow across the strings, It gave a wondrous, glorious sound, A sound too sweet for earth it seemed. He played a sweet and solemn air, And as he played he seemed to change, There showed a joyous radiance there Upon the wrinkled, eareworn brow. The blissful sounds rose to the sky, The birds their happy singing ceased, The trees all feared to sway their boughs, The volume of the sounds increased. T’was loud, then soft, but never harsh, This rapturous music, unknown to me But lo! it ceased, and o’er the distant marsh The vision quickly vanished from my sight. I look around to see the man, This gray haired master who had brought In my heart a new found bliss, And had a beauteous mystery wrought. But nowhere could I see him Although I searched the forest dim. I wandered on my weary road— Somehow, life seemd a lessened load.

As we further recall our first year in High School we remember the many eood times we have enjoved and the hearty welcome given us by the Student Bedy. An elaborate reception was given in our honor, but. this funetion oecurred late in the term, havine been postponed on account of the influenza epidemic. Keen class rivalry was felt at the girls’ track meet in 1919, our Freshman year. We did not win, but we took second place. In the inter- class field meet, we were not so successful, but we managed to defeat our rivals. the Juniors. When we had advanced as far as our Sophomore year we felt very im- portant and sophisticated. Sophomore is simply another word for sophisti- cation, and we certainly thought we were the meaning of this word. We were so very important in our own eves, because there was a lower class beneath us. Our Sophomore class was also very prominent in school activi- ties, for we won the cross-country run; and in the girls’ interelass basketball game, we took the honors. Our scholarship was not neglected, and because of the high scholarship during our second year, a “‘Sophomore Literary Society’? was formed. Our Junior year was also very eventful. In football principally, were we well represented. Places on the other athletic teams were also filled by Juniors, and it will be many years before this class will be forgotten, As we think of the Junior year, we nearly always connect this year with hard study. So it was with our class. and high were our records! Of course our Senior year has been the most eventful! In athletics, the Seniors have been among the ‘‘stars.”’ and the class of ’22 has always been eager to help in everything in which the school has participated. We also have continually given our most loval support to our High Sehool. The future alone will decide what part our ¢lass, ninety-six in number, and the largest ever to be graduated from the Santa Rosa High School, will play in the world’s work, Portia Hopper Watson Wymore Dorothy Thomas Wilson Finley John Morin Esther Brians Cockburn Bryant Forsyth Bernyce Logers Elaine Babbino Eleanor TD ERE BAG © Thyra Morrill Elisworth Barnett Alice Sheridan talph Holchester Mabel Wiggins John Thomas Zelma_ Spidle Mildred Wright Theodore Brians Goldie Foland EGebe © T Hei { Dorothy Seawell Roy Heyward Blizabeth Thompson Elmont Feliz Mabelelare Reinike Woodburn Stocker Mildred Wells Agnes Wilder Charles Borden George Hasek Ida Sprenger Francis Piazzi Alyera Spooncer Stephen, MeTigue Helen Wells Warry Grayman Lois Karnes Martha Irwin Aldean Anderson Anita) Howes T HE Margaret Wright ‘d Peterson Sara Jacobson Talmadge Woods Juanita Hamne Irwin Braun } Hedwig Lucas Edith Letold Kenneth Whited Beth Rogers {Veh oy 9) eek tO) Berenice Morrow Louis Raicevich Ruby Feliz Raymond Clar Eva Dont Wilbert Connors Mary Tate Lillian Cullen Charles Reinking Ruth Haskin Hees @ Apeed e Le) Alice Wolf Maleolm Weeks Ruth Mossler George Bath Helen Mallory Joseph Pagani Dorothy Mossler Jeannette Connors William Brewer Ruth Connors Dorothy Farley George Leppo Hazel Tisserand Harold Stump Cecelia Bacigalupi Helmuth Loew Gladys Covell Ruth Feliz Adon Poli Gladys Loew Ellen Holm Kenneth La Point Madeline Alexanderson Wallace Henderson Alma Henningsen Edwin Hawkins Vesta Bledsoe Ruth Granberg Ray Krotser Frances Brown AV ABE Dy C1DP (6) 1RIACG} Class Will We, the Class of 1922, of the Santa Rosa High Sehool, Township of Santa Rosa, Siate of California, do bequeath our individual possessions as follows: Knowing that I am about to breathe my last, I, Watson Wymore, leave my old motoreycle to my old time friend, the garage man. so that he may salvage it for junk and pay the overdue bills.

(Siened and settled), THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1922. anal THE ECHO A Grip Throngh Hades Ellie Barnett, substitute third baseman of the Sebastopol Parrots, (base- ball team), while making his two hundred and seventy-fourth (274) sueces- sive fan-out, struck so vigorously at a ball thrown to second base that he lost his rear collar button down a hole back of home plate. Pressing into service the bat boy, Francis Piazzi, he set forth in pursuit of his elusive pet collar button (Rosenthal special). With teeti set in grim determination. our valiant pursuers of the es- eaped collar button speedily fell through the hole in their earnest endeavors to gain on it. The demon button, havine a head start and being such a fast button, soon brought the frenzied hunters to the banks of the River Styx, where it bounced off a pile of powder puffs and landed on the opposite bank safely, without paying the slightest attention to the shrieking ferryman, ““Pug’’ Stocker. Stocker claimed that it was not according to Hades reeu- lation (Article 4, See. 12) to cross the Styx without coming through with the fare. Stocker’s aggressiveness in dragging the fare out of weary shades had led to his promotion over Charon. the former ferryman of the Styx. Hailing Stocker ‘in all haste to transport them to the side where the button danced in fiendish glee, the frantic searchers interrupted Stocker’s game of solitaire billiards, which he had resumed after his arduous vocal gymnastics after the speeding button. ‘‘Pue’”’ immediately ferried them across for the modest cut rate of ten cents. Barnett got reckless and tipped the ferryman five cents, and Stocker bowed seven times while ringing up the fare. Once across the Styx, the pursuers came upon a short, stubby, blond shade, who formerly traveled under the monicker of Roy Heyward, fishing for his broken heart in the River of Woe. Upon seeing them he immediately asked if there was something he could do for them. They asked for the address of the best“detective office in Hades and were directed to the office of Peterson Borden, shade-hounds of the nether regions. Thanking him for the information, the two pursuers soon came upon the three-masted dachshund Cerberus playing put-and-take with Johnnie Thomas. Dashing past the pair of gamblers, they passed through the gates of Hades. Here they were met rather forcibly by an antique Studebaker, aimed by Mabel Wiggins, demon chauffeur for the Dont Deliver(y) Co., per- petrated by one Eva Dont. Hoisting themselves from their respective reclining positions, they were in time to see the reckless speeders making an appointment to visit Judge Gladys Covell, on the charges of manslaughter, arson, and disturbing the peaceful progress of traffic. The police-woman, Vesta Bledsoe, approached the two injured onlookers, and they were told to appear in Court as witnesses. Promising ‘to keep the appointment, the wayfarers went to the Brimstone Office Buildine, and boarded the elevator for the detective agency. The elevator boy was a THE HCHO laree, dark, handsome youth, sporting a block ‘‘S.’’? Noting carefully the color of his necktie, the two recognized him as Johnny Morin, the former sprint-star and math shark of Santa Rosa Hi. Jawn was now blossomed forth in red socks and a mustache, which gave dignity to his appearance. At the fifth floor, Jawn opened the doro, put the elevator in reverse, and the passengers landed eighteen feet, four inches down the hall, bounced nine times, and drifted through the transom of an office at the end of the hall. The sign on the office docr read to them—, oxny op Sdotyyneeg: “oy -ssoyy aapssoyy, ,-— They were assisted to their feet by a boot-brown, Irwin Braun, and the mareelle artist. Eleanor Cockburn. Braun appeared to have used a razor since they last saw him hoeing spuds at his country residence near the famous Rineon eoyote farm. Miss Cockburn, who seemed frail, as- sisted Braun in boosting the dejected duo to a perpendicular position. Thanking the happy pair, the jaded jazzboes entered the rear room and asked for the bosses. Two sprightly shades, the Mossler cousins, did an about face from in front of a pair of easels where they had been putting a fine coat of Prussian blue on the cheeks of two fair young movie stars. Apologizing thirteen times for intruding, the two detective seekers asked to be directed to the gumshoe exponents of the precincts. They were shown and directed across the hall to a modest but luxurious office lobby. Glaneing around the room with a satisfied air, they perceived, saw, took in and gazed upon a coterie of clerks, stenogs, bookkeepers, office boys, and peanut butchers. Aceostine two office boys. who removed their hats, watches, monkey wrenches, and other accessories, they asked for their royal nibs, the ““Dook” and Charlie. Upon hearing these two vagabonds speak in such familiar terms of the two ereatest detectives ever imposed on Hades, the two boys threw one eross lot of assorted fits. While in these familiar contortions, the two hoboes recognized them as Joe Pagani and “‘Tevi’’? Hawkins, the two best office boys who had ever struck the Sulphur City. The recognition was mutual, and soon the four old cronies were locked in each others’ arms. After be- ing pried loose by Watson Wymore, the lanky bookkeeper, ‘‘ Willie’? Fin ley, the assistant peanut butcher, and Mildred Wright, Alice Sheridan, and Dorothy Farley, stenogs to their imperial eiblets, the two mortals interro- cated the head clerk, Earl Kuykendall, as to the locality, whereabouts, or hang- out of the two elusive sleuths. They were immediately ushered into the next office. Here the general manager, ‘‘Unk’’ Devoto, sat them down in a chair and opened up his private bottle of netherworld nectar. Devoto’s introduction of this liquid in the nether regions had made him so famous that he was elected Justice of the Peace of the Latin Quarter. His private secretary, Dorothy Thomas, re- moved the lightened bottle and refilled it from the water cooler, against the coming of the next visitor. Again they stated their mission, but were sorrowfully told by Devoto that the bosses were out on a wild duck chase after a drove of chareoal smugglers. THE ECHO Piazzi then took matters into his own hands and dragged Barnett away to a cheap hotel. While registering, they gave the clerk the onee over and observed the round features to be those of ‘‘Shylock’’ Grayman, who had successfully peddled out rooms to the most prominent plumbers assigned to the cataclysmal regions. Grayman slipped them the best room in the house for the same price as the other one. It being ust 6:30 by Grayman’s Bib Ben, the two star boarders drizzled into the dining room, where they ordered a full meal, ineludine a double order of prunes. The waitresses who deigned to perform the functions necessary to the progress of such a peaceful meal, swune trays like old timers were discovered to be the inseperables, Dorothy Seawell and Elizabeth Thompson. After disposing of all the fodder in the house. tipping the two expectant waitresses each a nickel, the two gormandizers adjourned to Loew’s Hippodrome. Helmuth and Gladys Loew, the proprietors, had- be- come quite as affluent in the infernal regions as their namesake had in California. After sleeping through three acts of old stuff. they were suddenly awakened by loud applause from the seventh baleony. Borrowing the opera glasses from the fat lady in front, Barnett perceived with consternation that the toe dancer now ecapering on the stage was none other than Thyra Morrill, the bobbed hair shade whose dancing had won her ereat renown. Joining the seventh baleony contingent, they succeeded in applauding her off the stage. Mlle. Morrill, exceedingly vexed. sent three usherettes in hot pursuit of the trouble makers. The usherettes, Madeline Alexanderson, Franees Brown and Agnes Wilder, ambled down the aisle to the seats occupied by the lone- some lads where they were given back their press passes and sent upon their weary way. Led by Piazzi, the dreary duo sought out a hash-house and ordered two lemonades in order to drown their sorrows. Barnett came up for air and called ‘‘Gareong,’ in his quaint French, for the waiter, and ordered a bowl of deviled ham. The waiter, giving him a disdainful look, sneered: ‘“My name is Holechester. What did ja gimme the hoot for?”’ Three quarters of an hour later, Ralph Holchester brought in two tur- nips and a dish of green peas. A kick was naturally raised at this outrage, and the proprietor, Harold Stump, a large, florid, personage, entered, bring- ing with him the entire staff of the house, the cook, janitor, manager. and efficiency expert. These important positions were all held by Georee Bath. the old heart-breaker from Bellevue, a ously propelled the food-moochers to the sidewalk. Here they met a shum- ming party, led by Helen Mallory, which was headed for the library. The party, which was composed of Alice Wolf. Ruth Connors. Goldie Foland and Louis Raicevich, had an inordinate desire to find the derivation of the word smootech,’’ which had lately been added to the nasally twangine lanenage of Hades, by that genial poet, Bill Brewer. The two husky bouncers, aldean Anderson and Ray Krotser, vi THE ECHO ———aa—_________ ee Knowing nothing about the derivation of the word, the two wander- ers boarded a street car. Once on the car, they were ereeted by a loud, jovial guffaw, emanating from somewhere behind the vest of ‘‘Bud’’ Feliz, the conductor, who passed them the joyous palm and led them to a seat with- out first collecting the fare. Elmont, feel ing the responsibility of his position, related to them the latest gossip of the smoky city (not Pittsburgh). Pointing to a portly old lady, accompanied by a pale, wan-appearing shade, ‘‘Bud’’ explained that this was the most fascinating pair in Hades. The lady had formerly been Miss Portia Hopper, and the old eentleman, Charles Reinking. Leavine their seats they went to talk to the motorman, George Leppo, and engaged him in a superheated wranele concerning the price of bulldogs in Rome, (Georgia). While encumbered with this argument, the motorman rushed by five corners without a halt. During this time, six enraged pas- seneers who had been carried past their corners, had collected around the eroup and were clamoring to be let off. Wishing to extricate the motorman from the serape into which he had been lured, the two argument-augmentors pacified the mob by feeding them jellybeans. In the scramble for the jelly- beans, the mediators pro tem recognized the famous Wild West troupe, con- sisting of Ruby Feliz, Ellen Holm, Edith Letold, Helen Wells, Kenneth La Point. and Theodore Brians. When the ear stopped, this acrobatic troupe eavorted down the steps, played leap-frog over the fire hydrant, crawled through an empty nail keg, and disappeared into the obscurity. Dropping off at the next corner, the two somnolent sight-seers asked a policewoman, Elaine Babbino, for the exact whereabouts of the hotel where they had registered. Arriving at the hotel, they obtained their key from the night elerk, Adon Poli, who had taken Grayman’s place for the night shift. The solemnity of the remainder of the night was greatly intruded upon by the loud but enthusiastie snores of the slumbering: snoozers. They were rudely awakened early next morning (10 a. m.) by two un- familiar gendarmes, Raymond Clar and Wilbert Conners, who spiteful) informed them that they were due at the Covell Cireuit Court, and if they were late, they would be fined ten simoleons for contempt of court. Four seconds later they tore down to the corner ice cream service station, where they blew themselve to a row of Eskimo pies. While the clerk, Lois Karnes, was adding up the bill on a cake of ice, the two witnesses fled for the court. Arriving at the gladsome portals of the City Hall, they were accosted by an officious-looking suffragette, Esther Brians, who asked for their ereden tials before admitting them to the private witness room. Once in the room, a clerk, Lillian Cullen, told them that their’s was the fourth ease, after which a court inspector, ‘‘Phat’’ Forsyth, took their names, hats, and spare change. They then bulged into the court to wateh the first three acts. The women seemed to have taken the upper hand in all the arguments as all the court efficials, Jury, lawyers, the judge and the janitors were of the female of the species. The judge, Gladys Covell, crashed the gavel upon the THE ECHO ——S——S_a_—ll—E—E—™—E—E—E—E—E bar and bawled for order. Immediately the court was in an uproar. The court clerk, Wilma Comstock, had a elever idea and began to sing. The spectators began to weep and were thus quieted. The court announcer, Mabelelare Reinike. announeed the first case— that of Hades vs. The Wood Charcoal Company. ‘‘Babe’’? Wood and his two accomplices, Hazel Tisserand and Hedwig Lueas, sat in a box surrounded by a squad of shysters and press agents. The leader of the press agents, Malcolm Weeks, sueceeded in getting nine columns out of the first case, thereby boosting his batting average. The prosecuting attorney of Hades, Alvera Spooner, argued, debated, wrangled, and finally swore that the Wood Charcoal Company had been smuggling several quart bottles of very excellent charcoal into the under- world. ‘““Dook”’ Peterson took the stand and apologized for the absence of. his partner, Charle Borden, stating that Charlie had a earbunele on his left knee and had to remain at home under the bed, greatly incapacitated, Peterson stated that with the aid of a farmerette. Margaret Wright, he had found a piece of charcoal scarcely two blocks from the Wood mansion. This evidence being enough to conviet ‘‘Babe’’ and his accomplices, they were fined, taxed, pried loose from, or otherwise nicked for eighteen piastres, thirty yen, and four rubles each. Cases two and three were uninteresting, so the two witnesses enjoyed the slumber they had lost that morning. They were unpolitely aroused by the feather on the hat of the lady in tront of them. Apologizing for getting in the way of the feather, they ree- ognized her as Jeanette Conners, who was sob-sister on the staff of the ‘Hades Howling Hyena.’’ The verdict in the third case was just being peddled out by the Judee. The Judge spieled: ‘‘Therefore, I sentenee you, Alma Henningson, to attend uplift lectures five times, for shoplifting in the second hand store of the plaintiff, Cecelia Bacigalupi. Next!’ The seargeant-at-arms, Kenneth Whited. dragged the culprit off in tears. “Hades vs. Mabel Wiggins, Dont Deliver(y) Co., et al.’? The two wit- nesses loped for the witness box, ensconced themselves in seats and beean to peruse the latest issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal. The prosecuting at- torney, Alvera Spooncer, arraigned Mabel Wigeins unmereifully, inquiring as to the state of her health and her financial condition, leavine her white and shaking like the proverbial leaf. As a further proof of the guilt of the defendant, the witnesses were hauled in. After hearing the faets of the case, the jury, which was composed of Lois Covell, Berenice Morrow. Martha Erwin, Confucius, Zelma Spidle, Ali Baba, Wallace Henderson. Jesse James, and four other dark, unknown shadows, filed into the ante-room to decide the ease. While deliberating, Ali Baba lost seven pescs and a pair of silk suspenders, playing pinochl e with Wallace Henderson. Finally the jury made its appearance. The foreman, Zelma Spidle, gave the jury’s decision: ‘‘Guilty as chareed.’’ THE ECHO The judge thereupon took off her glases, powdered her nose, and dis- missed her court, leaving the decision in the balance. The spectators percolated out and dispersed towards a skating rink, where they were lost to view. The twe then proceeded to a lost and found bureau. At the counter they inquired for a lost collar button, and the clerk, Ida Sprenger, shuffled a palm full of buttons and gave them the one they had been so vainly pursuing. Barnett tossed sixteen centavos on the counter and waited hopefully for change. But the clerk gave him only a look, so he grabbed Piazzi and left. As they squeezed through the door, they collided with a busy looking woman, Mildred Wells, and they went sprawl- ing in nine different directions. They were accumulated by three bystand- ers, Ruth Feliz, Beth Rogers, and Mary Tate, and with the assistance of two white-wines, Ruth Granberg and Sara Jacobson, an ambulance was sum. moned. One hour later, a wildly driven hack, manipulated by George Hasek. rounded the corner on four wheels and drew up in front of the throng with- mt much noise. The two victims of circumstances were packed into the carry-all and two attendants, Bernyee Rogers and Anita Howes, sat on their chests to keep them from falling out. After many rattles, wheezes and bangs, the heap docked in front of the Hades Healing Hospital for Heathen Habitues. Two nurses, Juanita Hamner and Ruth Haskin, deposited what was left f them on the operating table. The medico, ‘‘Mex” MeTigue, heated his mucilage and prepared his splints. He assembled them, crated them, and sent them C. O. D to the Sebastopol Parrots, where they once more re- sumed their duties. But the worst of it was that, in the melee, Barnett had again lost his collar button. By FRANCIS PIAZZI and ELLSWORTH BARNETT. WHAT WE LEAVE Examination days are drawing near, Our graduation week will soon be here. Our hearts are sad, although our faces smile, As in the study hall our time we while, And dream and think that we’re to leave this place, Whose memories, an age cannot erase.

They go to an art gallery and leave with a bored expression; yet should you ask any one of them how he liked art, the answer would be. ‘‘It was wonderful.”’ There is picture of a young lady, in my estimation a remarkable pie- ture, for it resembles some one I was very fond of. It brings back the days when life was a sone of happiness and the future a path of roses. Standing in frent of the picture, I forget today’s worries, and the worries of yesterday that have left a dark spot, deep in my heart. ; It was a beautiful day in May: the air was filled with sunshine and lappiness, when TI went to propose to the dearest eirl in the world. TI had a silver-head cane, and a bulldog that looked to me to be one of the pret- iest animals known. His name was Bill; he was to me like a friend, and oth Rose, my sweetheart and I were very fond of him. Bill knew where I was going and it seemed as if my happiness was also his happiness. His expression showed it, and you know when a bulldog ean register happiness he surely must be happy. We arrived at paradise, so it seemed to me, at the gates of my sweet- leart’s home. I tied Bill to the bamnister of the porch, placed the cane in a corner and vang the bell. I was admitted by the one dear to’ my heart. She didn’t seem as happy to see me as before and I knew right away there was someone else. Rose took me into the parlor and introduced me to a friend of hers whose name was Harry. He had just returned to his home town for a visit. Rose said she had met him a few years ago. Why should [ feel unhappy at this little thing? But I did. To make it short, it was Harry all the time, I simply was not there. I wanted to be there, I wanted to say something, but I could not. When I managed to utter a few words it was to the effect that I wanted to speak to her privately. I managed to make her forget Harry for a while and I told her how much she meant to me. I told her how wonderful it was that I knew her, and, that my ereatest ambition was to make her happy. Just when I thought she was listening to me with earnestness, Harry had to eall and ask her if she would like to go for a ride. Right away she was all eagerness and wanted to go. I knew then it was my cue to leave and I went, but with a different world before me. As I stood on the porch, [I saw that my dream was over. I was now in a world of sorrow amid the ruins of happiness. I stood looking at Bill. Oh, what a homely looking dog he appeared to be. Onee I had thought he was a beautiful dog, but now I eould not stand the looks of him. I stopped to think what a foolish fellow I had been, ear- rying a silver-headed cane and leading a bulldog after me, goine to see a girl that I thought cared a great deal for me. I could not stand the thought. I took one more look at Bill, and left the house leaving behind me the broken cane and lying on the porch, Bill, who would never follow me again. ROLAND HUDSON.

Ghostlike turbaned heads rise and fall in unison with the chanting of the Terravi prayers, heads that are made weird and ehastly by the candle light that is reflected and mirrored in a beautiful red gem, which hangs sus- pended in all of its glory above the head of the chanting Hodja. Now all men of the true faith know that this stone is a gift of good omen and great value that Sultan Abdul Murad (may his spirit rest in peace) did bequeath to the temple of Mohammed. Also do all true men know that its very twin in wealth and beauty was buried with him, even though it were against the Moslem custom. But who can question the ways of a monarch? Of course the idlers about the Bazaar have by various stages developed the story of Abdul's forewarning dream in which he saythe Lord Mohammed and the Lord Christ, each holding one of Sultan’s famous rubies. The Lord Christ dropped the one he held and Abdul’s own son tried to recover it. But when he stooped to reach it a Christian sword severed his head from his body. At this time the ruby on the ground dis- appeared and the Lord Mohammed spoke and said, ‘ Only for the Most High are these intended.”’ According to the story, the next morning the Sultan sent for the court astrologer to interpret his dream. Old Abdul hated to drive his dope-clouded brain and for this reason was ereatly influenced by the man of wisdom. But no less was he influenced by Fetma Ara, that harem favorite who, men say, caused the many massacres of Abdul’s reign. Upon calm deliberation after hearing the dream the old sage explained it thus: ‘‘It is apparent that the gems are not to be handed to your poster- ity for then a scourge in the form of Christian supremacy shall visit your people. They are intended only for the Most High. Surely this means that Mohammed should receive one of them.” But what should befall the other? It was only after long fasting and many prayers that the old astrologer returned to tell the Sultan that an inspiration visited upon him bade him tell his master that one ruby should hang in the temple of Allah while the other was to be buried with its owner. Whether or not this story is idle gossip makes little difference; the fact is known that at this time the rubies disappeared for several days.. Fetma Ara, because of her jealous pleadings to keep the rubies, was immediately suspected and upon being tortured revealed their hiding place.

It is said that she has forgotten her disgrace and now graces the palace of a powerful chieftain. However, thus it is that the single ruby hanes in the mosque, losing’ its brilliance year by year because of sacred candle smoke or the drowsy incense which the old Hodja now fans almost to a flame by his ceaseless salaams and rumbling, never-ending prayers. Yes, the once brilliant ruby seems to have taken on that air of holy sadness which prevails within the temple. Everything, every person is af- feeted by that atmosphere and now the spirit of prayer floats through the open doors of the mosque and over the quiet city, for the night feasting of Ramadan has not yet commenced. In the Moslem cemetery all is quiet, too, save the occasional howl of a sacred dog. But is there perfect quiet in the vast Moslem City of the Dead? Does no living thing stir among the white stones of the common dead or the gorgeous turbans of the rich? Surely that is a camel resting quietly among the tall eypresses. And is that a man hiding near him, behind the great palm near the sepulchre of Abdul Murad? But hark! The camel’s master approaches. The man peers cautiously from beneath his turban at each outstanding object as though he feared detection. Now he hurriedly mounts and urges his beast toward the city which is fast awakening, for the evening e@un has boomed and the daylight fast is broken. As he leaves, a dark form, visible only by its searlet fez, quits its place of hiding, and hurries after. Let us follow them through the quaint streets of the City of the Sultans. Through the residence district jogs the camel now. Down the Street of Steps he lumbers, swinging his rider from side to side for all the world like a Sardinian fishing boat rolling on the long swells of the blue Mediter ranean. The narrow street would be in utter darkness but for the semi- tropical moonlight which glitters on the slimy cobbles and reminds one of that stream of human blood which drenched this street in the last great massacre. Behind the stone walls of the narrow courtyards yellow lights peep through iron-shuttered windows. Mystery clouds these dwellings ot the Turks but among the many odors that drift from them the nauseating smells of hemp and opium are easily distinguished. They alone give one a hint as to what is taking place behind those guarded doors. Now the quaint bazaar is entered. Here all is noise and confusion. All classes and nationalities mix to bargain, to argue, and to cheat. Turkish women and children, with their slaves. mingle with Syrians, white-clad Moors, ebony-hued Nubians, and Russian merchants from the far Caueasians. Here a dark Egyptian beckons to passers-by to purchase his never failing charms against evil, there a Jew guardedly displays his stock of precious jewels, bracelets, anklets, and rings, for jewelry passes in preferance to money in this land of the Prophet. Beneath a flickering oil torch a grey bearded Turk draws gold and silver wire for costly uniforms and dresses. A group of small boys watch with interest the dexterous movements of his vereat toe which plays its part by holding the precious cord. Near him a THE ECHO i tobacco merchant sits before his shop with a two-foot pipe between his feet. He makes no effort to sell his wares, for perhaps he feels that kismet—fate-— will send him customers if they are to come. But let us return to the camel in its journey among other camels, horses and donkeys, and vast throngs of restless humanity. Here the driver seems no less anxious than ever, for some inexplicable instinct tells him that he is pursued. At last he stops before the shop of the silent tobacco merchant and dismounts. Now the camel attracts the group of boys who leave the thread drawer, en masse, and play at making the camel blink his eyes,—at a reasonable distance from his powerful legs and more dangerous jaws, for even the children know that at certain times the camel’s bite will cause dread- ful agony and certain death. The shop keeper bows the camel driver into his narrow stall and drones, “May the God of your fathers be with you.”’ “Peace unto theee and thine, O brother,’’ returns he of the camel. They now enter a curtained room in the rear of the shop and the mer- ehant’s manner changes immediately when he is positive that ne prying ears may hear their conversation. He brusquely speaks, ‘‘Enough of this sham, Hast thou it?’’ ‘“ Aye.”’ The camel driver now draws from beneath his tunie a gem the color of new blood and as beautiful as a wintry sun when it drops behind the tall minarets of Stamboul. ‘ Its mate?’’ ‘“Not yet, O one of little greed, but ere the sun blesses this accursed land again the many gods of our fathers shall smile upon us, and it. Guard thou this with great care and make ready our hasty departure.”’ ‘Wear not. My neck as well as thine shalf pay if there are any slips. Wilt rest until the night ages?’’ ‘‘Nay, better to have it over. I like it not, even though it mean power in our land.’’ ‘“Better power than wealth only. Let the deposed one glory in their radianee, so that we gain our ends through her. What thinkst thou?” ‘“Ave, and if we fail she too shall suffer with us, for methinks she will soon lose her mind unless vengeance be done. But why waste time on a woman, and a hated Moslem in the bargain, even though she be despised by her kind? Light you now these sacred joss sticks to our gods, for I have need of their help. If they fail me not the snow-bound plains of Tibet shall soon protect us, for no man of untrue faith shall dare to follow-”’ So saying, the camel driver returns to his beast and again mounts, this time heading toward the now silent mosque of Mohammed. But he does not depart alone, for the pursuing shadow in the red fez clings with the integrity of an avenger. All is quiet now near the sacred building whose domed roof casts queer shadows upon the stone street. Even the beggars, those infamous Asiatic yarasites, have deserted their posts beside the stone pillars of the mosque. ] ] | THE ECHO SS hao The camel now lumbers over the smooth, shppery cobbles of the narrow street; cobbles that are worn smooth by the almost constant tread of Moslem sandals carrying their owners to perform religious funetions: cobbles made slippery by the winter’s dew, but more so by the filth of the native inhab- itants. But this must ever be, for every inch of Constantinople has been bathed in human blood, say the Turks, so its streets must reek with slime and filth for all time. The camel is now ordered to halt beneath a low baleony whose Arabesque decorations of black and white form an impenatrable camouflage in the moonlight. The rider dismounts, strides boldly up the stone stairs of the mosque, and stands by a massive pillar for some time. Now he stealthily tries the giant bronze door. It holds. But will not one of his large iron keys turn the ancient lock? Not the iron keys but a single brass key that must have been fashioned by some long-forgotten Keyptian loek- smith easily forces the erude and little used lock. For who in this-land would molest the House of God? Only an infidel. He enters now. The quiet street without seems as the pealing of thunder to the deathly silence between these walls. All is dark, too, save a square stone flagging which is only partly covered by a gorgeous prayer rug. This tiny patch of floor and the flaming ruby of Abdul Murad are alone visible. He looks from the light on the floor to its source, a square, iron-barred window high up in the bubble-like dome. Through this the moonlight pours in such abundance as to make the unlit corners seem as black as ebony. But all his interest is centered on that drop of blood which sparkles tantalizingly before his very eyes. Happiness, certainly wealth and power, within his grasp quiekens his pulse and he starts forward. He reaches enviously to tear it from its resting place. No fear of consequences fill his mind now, only the lust for wealth. But his clutching fingers do not eom- plete their aim. Cold steel flashes in the pateh of moonlight and after a dull thud all is again silence. Silence: and in the pateh of moonlight a darker hue vies in color with the flaming ruby above it. % ae a a a a 4s Again it is evening in the land of the Prophet, but the high priest is now on a balcony outside the mosque. The feast of Ramadan is over. Allah is Allah, there is no God but God,’’ he chants and raises his hands, palms upward, to receive the blessings of Heaven. The multitude below humbly bow their heads to the dust and answer. Far into the city a grey bearded drawer of gold and silver cord bows low before the door of his shop. Near him a new tobacco merchant, who wears a scarlet fez, bows also and thinks of two jewels in the House of Allah. Although the voice of the priest is far way the two shop keepers chant together, ‘‘Allah is Allah, there is no God but God. and Mohammed is the Prophet of God.’’ THE ECHO Ser Plrize Stary By Ellen €. Holm Hinla The hazy fog that had begun to drift over the cit earlier in the even- ing was growing denser with the swift-comine darkness. A wind, too, was blowing in from the bay, a wind which blew the misty substance into tiny fog-wraiths, some smiling, some scowling, all with more or less human as- pects. I shivered as I stood by the closed window of my studio, gazing out onto that bleak outside world, on that strange evening in F ebruary, three years ago. It seems to me that it formed a perfect setting for the queer occurrences of that night. The telephone jangled at my elbow, coldly, relentlessly, in harmony “with the depressing atmosphere.

Perhaps it may seem strange that a college youth should have a studio. Dad wants me to be a doctor, (M. D., not D. D..) and I suppose I shall be one in time, but in the meantime, I have a very great weakness for anything that is art. Ever since I can remember, my room has been eluttered up with pictures that have caught my fancy, and all books, papers, and themes have been profusely and mercilessly deecorated by my own handiwork. In cidentally, I spend most of my free periods daubing gobs of paint on spacious canvases, About this time, I was working on my first really big venture.

For an appalling moment I stood there, petrified. I could not ery out or move. Gone! Months of labor gone! With something like a sob I turned to answer the telephone which must have been ringing for some time. Mechanically I lifted the receiver. The voice that drifted over the wire to me was unmistakably feminine “Is that you, Tom?’’ queried the sweet voice pleadingly. ‘‘This is Viola speaking. Come get me quick, Tom, quick. I’m at——’’ and then the wires went dead. Here my shattered nerves collapsed completely, and I sank into a chair. Then, with a mighty effort, I pulled myself together, and fairly tore down the stairs to the street- Once out in that curiously shifting fog, reason eame back to me. Why, it was preposterous that a piece of painted canvas eould telephone ;—aboslutely absurd! My nerves were merely playing me a trick. I had been working too hard and too steadily, anyway. Besides, maybe the picture was up there;—the janitor might have moved it into some corner out of his way. With this surmise in mind, I determined to return to the studio, and conduct a thorough search. ‘‘Hey! Are you Mr. Thomas Gaynor?’’ I wheeled around so fast that I almost stepped upon the questioner, an under-sized, under-weight, freckle-faced boy. [ assured him that I was. “Well,” declared the freckled one, ‘‘a lady just gimme this, an’ told me to hurry. She seemed awful worried—kep’ lookin’ back over her shoulder, an’ tellin’ me to hurry. Here, take it!’’ for I was staring at him like an idiot. With shaking fingers I tore open the missive, which was written in a dainty, round, feminine hand, and this is what I read: Dear Tom: You'll find me in the yellow brick house, room 13. Hurry! It may be too late! VIOLA. i looked around for the messenger boy. He had vanished. Not a soul Was in sight. Only the fog faces taunted me out of the darkness. What was I to do? The telephone eall and the note, both so mysterious, w ere enough to rouse anyone to action. From somewhere, far, far, above me, a clock was strikine with dull sonorous tones the hour of nine. On I[ stumbled through the fog. I couldn’t have gone more than fifteen paces, when I came upon the building I sought, a tall, yellow, two-story house, strangely out of place in that business district, queerly gabled and shuttered. There was a heavy, earved, wooden knocker on the black door. I banged this knocker up and down with all my might, and waited. No sound was heard save the deep, hollow knock reverberating through the deserted house. Still I waited. Suddenly and silently the huge door swung outward, but no one appeared. The blurred light of a street-lamp threw a tiny square of light through the THE ECHO See ee eee ee see open doorway, and in this, my own shadow was revealed. A tremor ran through my body. After all in what sort of wild-goose chase was I in- dulging? What could I gain by it? Here my hesitation was cut by the discovery that the square of light was rapidly diminishing in size. Somewhat alarmed, I stepped within the somber portals, and immediately the huge door clanged shut behind me. Velvet blackness closed in on me, and I had a queer, sinking feeling that all was not just as it should be. For some moments I listened intently. No sound was heard. The silence was so deep that it thundered in my ears. My heart was thumping against my ribs so hard that it hurt, and even my breath was labored. It suddenly dawned on me that this might be a trap. Dad was wealthy, and once I was locked up within the stronghold, I might never get out! Well, I’d walked into it like a lamb. but would I stay ? The thought made me zalmer, and T groped around in my pockets until T found a mateh. In its flickering light I could see my surroundings. It must have been a luxurious mansion at one time, for the room in which I stood was elabor- ately furnished. Now, however, the elegant carved furniture was covered with the dust of the years; stringy cobwebs stretched from corner to corner. and dangled from the graceful candelabrum suspended from the center of the ceiling, But the thing that caught my attention was the queer, winding: stair- way, for there in the heavy dust, was a woman’s footprint, elfinly pointed, eracefully heeled. I stared at it so long that the match burned my thumb, and went out. Suddenly a shriek, the crash of an overturned chair. penetrated the still- ness, and echoed and re-echoed down the silent passages. Again a hush leeper than before. As though bereft of reason, I raced up the dusty stairway, and pausing vt the end, groped around for another match. By its pale light, I saw a richly carpeted hallway, and at my feet lay a dainty, delicately perfumed handkerchief. In one corner was a tiny embroidered “‘V.”’ [ cried out in amazement. ‘‘Surely, I'm losing my mind,’’ I thought. Lighting another mantch, I looked again at the note the freckle-faced youngster had brought me, and again reac Dear Tom: You'll find me in the vellow brick house, room 13. Hurry! You may be too late! VIOLA. Too late! Maybe I was already too late! The thouehts spurred me to action. Dashing the leneth of the hallway, I flune open the door at the end, ind nearly lost my balance at the blaze of light that greeted me. I stood there, blinking like a bat, trying to become accustomed to the dazzling elare. and then I saw Viola. In the center of the room, supported by a huge easel. was Viola in all her graceful beauty, with a sparkle in her velvety black eyes, a eleam in her glossy black hear, a smile on her full red lips, just as I had last seen her. THE ECHO Suddenly, I heard something that sounded suspiciously like a snort that vrew into a giggle, and finally became a lou euffaw, followed by at least a dozen more, and from behind every couch and hangine appeared the greatly esteemed members of the Yamma Pie Fraternity. ““Wh - what,’’ I stuttered. Bill Claxton grinned. ‘‘“How’d vou like being initiated, Tom?’’ he demanded, thumping me heartily on the back. ‘‘You sure took it like a sport and proved yourself wort hy of Viola.

McCormick The other day, at recess time, I passed by Fremont School. Some boys were playing ‘‘blackman.’’ One of the boys was caught and tagged. As soon as his captor let him go he started away. The boy who had tagged him then yelled, ‘‘Come back here, Woodrow, you’re it This conversation caused me to think that I could make a rather good guess after whom the boy had been named. I also believe that I know his middle name. It seems to be quite the thing to name children after prominent people. I have no doubt but that in a few years there will be a whole flock of War- ren Hardings just as now there are many Theodore Roosevelts. I think that if people wish to name their children after prominent peo- ple they should take the movie actors into consideration. Why not have a squad of Douglas Fairbanks and Bill Harts? Another common tendency is to name girls after flowers, such as Pansy, Daisy, and Violet. If girls are named after flowers, why not name boys after vegetables. Such names as Parsley R. Kellog and the Hon. Celery Onions Hyatt, should become tremendously popular. Then we have another list to choose from, These are the old philosophers such as Plato and Socrates. This list of names is almost entirely neglected. If my name was Aristotle Plato McCormick I believe that I would live sur- rounded by a halo of intellectuality. My names would cause people to be- lieve that I possessed a superior brand of intelligence. Why not name a few children after these old birds? I think that a man should have a distinctive middle name. A person who has a good middle name can use it to advantage. J. Sydney Smith, lawyer, would sound much better than John Smith, lawyer. I do not see how fond parents with names such as Brown, or Smith, can tack some com- mon name, such as John, on their offspring. Names such as these are too common. If my last name were Smith I would want my first name to be distinetive, such as Lorenzo or Bennington. I can imagine two men walking down the street. One of the men says, ‘‘Did you hear the news? John Smith died last night.’’ The other man replies, ‘‘Is that so? Which John Smith was it? A conversation such as this one would never happen if people were named with more care. I believe that there is room for a vast amount of originality in the nam- ing of people. There is an unlimited field of names to pick from. Things are changing all the time. I think names should change, too. Let us all oive this matter due consideration, so that in the future there will be an im- provement in the naming of the people. Taking everything into consideration there are so many varieties of names that I would suggest that fond parents tack seven or eight names on a child. When the child gets old enough to comprehend the immense prob- lem before him let him choose one pf the names and discard the rest. Such a choiee would settle the problem.

THE’ ECHO in Ellint By Clarence Nitzke Mail day at the small rudely-constructed general store and_ postoffice presented today a lively, if not beautiful appearance. The hot sun_ beat down on scores of cow ponies which with drooping heads and switching tails stood patiently all round the huge corral. Now and then they cast a-quest- ionine eye toward the battered porch, where seated on boxes of different varieties and sizes, their masters gossiped of important events of the present, past, and future. At one end of the porch, apart from the rest of the group, sat two men in earnest conversation. Rather, one was conversing while the other listened, for when Phil began to talk, the other fellow, whether he was inclined that way or not, must become a faithful and attentive listener. The conversa- tionalist got slowly to his feet, stretching his long body thoroughly in the process, and with an impatient pull at his black mustache gazed contem- platively down the dusty yellow trail. The other following Phil’s gaze, deseried some shapeless moving objects in the distance, and it was then he saw Phil’s large humorous mouth take on a mischievous grin, while his left eye, a nice honest-appearing gray one, overarched with a small black twisted eye-brow, twinkled merrily, a sure sign of a mischievous plan in Phil’s mind. He turned to his companion, and while patting fondly a letter which he had taken from his pocket, he said, ‘‘ Well, I am sure glad the boys are com- ing. I’ve waited for them now most an hour and a half. There’s a pleasant little surprise for them here,’’ and he again patted the envelope. ‘If I know anything about looks, I'd say,’’ said Phil’s companion, ‘‘that from the way vou look you intend to get some amuement from this pleasant surprise.’ ‘T do,’’ said Phil, ‘‘and to prove it to you I’ll just but he did’nt finish his sentence. The two again returned to their soap-box chairs. Interrupted by de- lighted chuckling and good substantial slaps on his back and knee, Phil told the surprise which he had in store for the boys. The boys had now with a great deal of commotion drawn up before the steps of the porch and were already mounting the steps. Phil yawned and addressed the group, ‘‘Say, boys, you sure make alto- eether too much noise, considering what’s going to happen in this part of the elobe pretty soon. I’d say vou boys had better begin to mend your man- ners.’ “He says we ain’t got no manners,’ said one. ‘ Manners,’’ said another, ‘‘you can’t tell me nothing about them things Why I’ve read that there manner book the school marm gave me for Christ- mas so I ean just spiel it off from one cover to the other.’’ “What I want to know,’’ began another in the rear, ‘‘is why Phil is getting so careful of our behavior, so darn sudden.’’ THE ECHO ‘‘T was trying to get to that, but you boys on account of your behavior held me back ”’ Then tilted back with the small, dainty envelope still very much in evi- dence, Phil began, ‘ Miss Catherine Elliot. It’s a pretty good name, isn’t it ?”’ ‘“Yes,’’ said the one who had read the manner book, ‘‘it sure is right nice. Sounds like a name out of a book.’’ ‘“Well, what about it?’’ said the one in the rear. “Oh, nothing,”’ drawled Phil, ‘‘only this here letter says that this same Miss Catherine, who by the way is as pretty as her name, has reached the conclusion that her refined mind and delicate constitution can stand the so- ciety and climate of the Wild West. She says she’s goine to take up a claim out here.’ ‘LT hope she'll not locate near me, for I’d have to chop her wood and milk her cow,”’ said the one in the rear, disgustedly. “By golly, I'll bet she’s a humdinger,’’ said the owner of the manner book, which he now offered to anyone who eared for its enlightenine words. Two weeks before Miss Elliot’s arrival when the news had been widely spread, all the old “batches” with whem the county was amply provided, did nothing but discuss the coming event. The manner book was dog eared and thumb marked. All were envious when Phil said ‘‘he knowed her back Kast,’’ and bragged of her youth, beauty and general merits. A few days before the event, Bill in a fever of excitement, came down to Phil’s cabin to consult that worthy gentleman on some minor details; how high his eollar should be, whether he should wear a green or purple necktie, and how he should comb his hair. Rivalry ran high, each desiring to make a better appearance than the other fellow, and so to impress favorably the young lady. All were astonished when they beheld Phil actually cleaning his cabin. He used the shovel, and a breom stood near by. You see, Phil had a stove that stood on four legs and there was quite a space between the floor and the stove and into this receptacle Phil had swept the dirt which he had colleeted by sweeping a smal spet in the center of the room. Bill set off at once to inform the rest of his friends of the queer proceedings of Phil. The day before the great day everyone with a bundle carried carefully across the pommel of his saddle, rode up to Phil’s eabin, alighted and, clad in their best, paced up and down before the master of the house for review. After innumerable mishaps on the next day, the cavaleade, red-faced and uncomfortable, started forth with Phil in the lead. When they reached the post office Phil lined them all up and teld them not to grin for it was bad manners. Suddenly there was heard a rumble, and the mail wagon came around the bend, leaving after it a cloud of dust. As it drew up they saw a lady ot about forty years of age, surrounded by a trunk and three valises. Gasp- ing with fear and astonishment, she peered near sightedly through her huge spectacles and wondered why on earth Phil, her husband, had collected such an assembly of male inhabitants to witness her approach into the wilderness. Phil had his team and buggy there, unknown to his companions, and as he THE ECHO helped her to alight and then to mount into his buggy, the rest sat there stiff with surprise and very obediently did not grin. As Phil and his wife drove toward their cabin the boys pulled off their stiff collars and flung them to the ground, shaking their fists at Phil, who had not said that Catherine Elliot had been his wife’s maiden name, nor had even seen fit to tell them that he was married. Author’s note: This is a true story, the events of which happened while I was in Wash- ineton. I have added only a few details.

THE ECHO Mrmunrivs By Lois Karnes As I sit here shivering in this gloomy Masonie Hall. my mind wanders sadly back to the time, a year ago, when I was installed, more or less peace- fully, in row twelve, seat thirteen, in the old study hall. How amazed and incredulous I should have been had I been told then that some day I should see our high school a pile of charred ruins: or that the Study Hall, habitat alike of serious minded Senior and frivolous Freshman, would be in a church. unchaperoned by the benign busts of Washineton and Lincoln, the dignity of their faces enhanced by the caps of luckless Freshmen. perched rakishly on their respective right ears: or that never again should our eyes be eladdened by the sight of Minerva, most chaste goddess of intellect and wisdom, pa- tiently keeping guard over her sacred sanctuary of learning. Our high school, without these, the Lares and Penates of our studvhall, would have seemed an impossibility. Yet that impossibility has come to pass. Gone are the days when we dashed frantically to the corner store between periods for a soda pop; gone the days when we loitered on the bleachers arguine and discussing at leneth the ereat problems of the universe, such as who would win the next track meet, or who was going with whom to the next sehool cance. To quote Kipling, ‘‘That’s all shoved behind us. long ago and far away.’’ Now. between periods, our sole concern is the successful dodging of the passing flivver, or the evading of the penalty of the dreaded ninth period by explaining to the threatening exponent of knowledge that the last teacher’s watch must have been slow. But although we mourn the fact that our high school is no more, we are happy in the knowledge that Santa Rosa will soon be the proud possessor of a fine new building to replace the old one, and so we cheerfully make the best of what we have, as befits all loyal students of Santa Rosa High Sehool.

F. Bennyhoff. The regular Student Body affairs were carried out with the advent of time and the organization was doing some good things. Equipment for the teams and courts, traveling expenses, and all the expenses of the organiza- tion were met. Everything was advancing in a healthy manner when the destruction of the old school building occurred. This catastrophe threw the students’ organization out of gear. For the first time in the history of the school, the officers were developing a new system of handling the student affairs, but at the time of the fire, all of their records were destroved. The end of the fall term, soon arrived and the president had finished serving two terms of office and declined to be a eandidate for the third term. Some of the things achieved in -that year were small, but as time rolls on, it will all aid in making our school a better school. Practically no changes were made in the student government. The president used the cabinet system which was dropped at the end of his term. The term of office ended with the treasury in excess of three hundred and fifty dollars and an outstanding bill for track suits. Let us hope that provisions are made for a system of student government in the new school which will be suitable to the situation —MALCOLM C. WEEKS. THE. ECHO Spring Semester Although we have been disabled be- cause of the fire, which forced us to seek new school accommodations, we have kept the standard of scholarship at the top. This year the largest class of eraduates in the history of the school will enter public life and will soon take their stand among those progressive citi- zens who endeavor to advance our schools and in general to promote good fellowship among men. In the past year we have practically broken away from our old form of school government and have handled our business in a business-like way. All bills have been paid through the author- izine of the principal and myself. In this way doing away with the Governing Roy Heyward Board meeting which usually ended in President Spring Semester a personal affair. Next year, however, there will undoubtedly be an entirely new form of school government which will do away with the worn out and unstable system of government which we now have. With the school conditions under which we are now laboring, no system of student body government could possibly prove to be a great suecess. The classes are so broken up that there is no unity. Some students do not see their friends for days at a time and under these conditions they are bound to lose interest in school activities. The officers who have worked with me during my spring term have been: Vice-President . ; Johnny Parmeter Second Vice-President : Elizabeth Thompson Secretary : : Dorothy Seawell Treasurer Wm. Bennyvhoff I wish to thank these officers together with the student body as a whole, for their support and co-operation during my term of office. ROY F. HEYWARD, President of the Student Body. PARNASSUS LITERARY SOCIETY The Parnassus Literary Society is the only high scho | society that has held its regular meetings since the schooi building burned. In spite of all obstacles, the fine spirit of the literary society has lived, and a great deal of good work has been accomplished. Under its most efficient president, George Leppo, many interesting programs have been given. The other officers are: Ellsworth Barnett, vice- president ; Frances MeCanse, seeretary ; and Sara Jacobson, treasurer. Miss Mott and Miss Fisher, our faculty advisers. have aided the society in every way possible. The Parnassus Society has helped to bring forth the musical. dramatic, artistic and literary ability of the members. The works of American poets and short story writers have been taken up and discussed throughout this year.

Its organization was perfected in February and since that time the girls have enjoyed working together in an attempt to accomplish worth-while things. The purpose of the Girls’ League has been to promote courtesy of speech and manner, simplicity, loyal ty, honor, and all ideals of true womanhood. It has also tried to develop among girls such activities as will uphold the good name of the Santa Rosa High School and further the spirit of good fellowship and demoeraey. The Girls’ League is divided into four departments: Program, in charge of the president; Social Service, in charge of the vice-president; Hospitality. in charge of the secretary; and Civie Activities, in charge of the treasurer. The Program department, under the leadership of Mabel Wiggins has not only sueceeded in preparing interesting programs for the regular monthly meetings, but was also able to bring Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, president of Mills College, to address the girls) Dr, Reinhardt eave an inspiring talk which will long remain in the thoughts of all who heard her. This depart- ment also prepared a splendid Mothers’ Day program for an assembly, to which the mothers as well as the entire student body, were invited. The flower committee pinned a boutonniere of white flowers on each mother and after the program, punch was served to the cuests. The Social Service department has done a great deal toward fostering a spi rit of good comradeship among the girls. An attempt was made to inaugurate the senior advisor system, and in general the members of. this department have co-operated in helping the students carry out the principles of the League.

THE ORCHESTRA Our orchestra begain its year last fall with all the requirements for a successful career—plenty of musical talent, unlimited enthusiasm, an ap- preciation of good music, regular faithful attendance at rehearsals, and in- telligent, experienced direction. The high school fire, with its attendant con- fusion, not only destroyed our musie library, but so interfered with the school program of most of our members that the regular practices of the en- tire orchestra, so necessary for success, have been almost impossible. An attempt has been made to have the orchestra meet twice a week in the Masonie Building, during the ninth period. Our director, Mr. Victor E. Johnson, has stimulated such an interest in classical as well as the better class of popular THE ECHO musi¢, that we look forward to a real symphony orchestra next year under happier conditions. Mr. Johnson is prepared to teach 2ood ensemble playing as a result of his experience as director of orchestras in Chieago. Several ambitious students are working hard at their instruments, hoping to qualify at the try-out next fall. The orchestra members at present include: Edith Anderson. piano ; Eugene Alvenn, cornet; Herbert Work, saxophone; Lee Kurlander, clarinet : Marion Ratcliffe, clarinet; Elizabeth Winters, violin; Ellen Shepherd, violin: John Massarek, violin; Louis Saare, violin; Everelle Pedersen, drums: and Billy Shaafsma, trombone, LOUIS SAARE.

ECHOES FROM THE ORCHESTRA Most of the members have had experience in dance orchestras. One of them is ‘‘Rudy Wiedoft,’’ alias Herbert Work. Eugene Alvenn is our ‘jazz king’? trumpeter. This noted musician was obliged to turn down an engage- ment to play with Paul Whitman for the Victor Record; Co., because the unfeeling barbers offered only a ‘‘eash and earry’’ haireut. Louis Saare, alias ‘‘syneopater’s best bet,’ has discovered the secret of happiness—getting real money for playing down at Rizi’s Winter Garden, and throwing it away, just like that, for ‘‘shots’’ of ‘‘Irvie’s’’ root beer for all his friends. Edith Anderson, whom her dancing partner, Roland Herbert, has termed ‘the best dancer in seven counties,’’ is as nimble with her fingers as she is with her toes. Herbert Work, our Sax artist, is waiting for Edison to produce a_per- feet record before contracting with him for exclusive rights. Lee Kurlander has the fever and bought a Conn saxaphone; another boy gone wrong. He played the ‘‘Sheik”’ the first dav. We know it was the ““Sheik’’ because he told us so. Marion Rateliffe, matinee idol and movie hero, pipes a mean reed on his ‘‘elarry.’’ Ellen Shepherd, ‘‘The Kid,’”’? has an early start. When she grows up she ought to be good on the Strad.

A short synopsis of the play is as follows: Miss Dyott, head of Volumnia College, has secretly married a bankrupt aristocrat, the Hon, Vere Queckett, for he is ashamed of her profession, Unknown to him, she ekes out their income by singing in comie opera. Dur- ing her absence, Queckett invites some gentlemen to supper at his “bachelor diggings.’ At this stag party there is an irruption of young girls and a very young married couple; for Peggy has planned that Queckett’s party shall be the means of bringing together her school fellow. Dinah Ranklinge. and the youthful Paulover, cruelly separated by order of stern Admiral Rankling immediately after the ceremony which followed their elopement. When the Admiral returns after lone absence. and meets his daughter at the party, though he does not recognize her, the Hon. Vere’s troubles begin. The character of the Hon Vere Queckett was most ably portrayed by Marold Stump. Mabel Wiggins played excellently her part of Miss Dvott, Principal of Volumnia College. Ida Sprenger’s acting in the part of Dinah Rankling was splendid, and she deserves much credit. as does also Kenneth lia Point, who acted the part of young Paulover, Dinah’s husband. Edward Peterson and Eleanor Cockburn made a splendid Rear Admiral and Mrs. Ranklin, especially in the ‘‘EMMA”’ episode. Elizabeth Thompson was very sovable as Peggy Hesselrigge and we don’t wonder that Lieut. John Mallory of H. M. Flagship Pandora, in the person of Ralph Devoto, made love to her. Dorothy Seawell as Gwendoline Hawkins, and Berenice Morrow as Ermyntrude Johnson, pupils at Volumnia College, were charming. Theodore McLaren as Mr. Sanders, Mr. Mallory’s nephew, made an admirable lover: William Cowan as Mr. Otto Bernstein, Helen Mallory as Jane, the maid, John Parmeter as Jaffray, a fireman, and Dale French ‘as a page and later as a fireman, all deserve honorable mention. Dramatically, artistically, and financially, The Schoolmistress was a great success, and much credit is due Miss Catherine Fields, our capable public speaking teacher. HELEN BARKER.

We cannot come to a close without giving a word of praise to those who played leading parts. Bill Cowan as the Gypsy Rover could not have been equalled. His rich, mellow bass voice simply carried the audience away. His acting was so real- istic that it made one wonder if he really was only a high schoo l student in- stead of a professionl. Ruth Mossler as Lady Constance, well. she is one in a thousand that could take the part as she did. Her beautiful clear-toned soprano voice filled your heart with happiness. The part of an English maiden was made for her; Ruth, with her eraceful, dainty movements and her cool supreme beauty. Dorothy Seawell, the belle of the Gypsy Camp was divine. Her dark colorful beauty as a gypsy girl was lovely. One did not wonder that Sinfo lost his heart. ves, his head, to see her, Meg, an old Gypsy woman, played by Helen Barker, was excellent. Her lovely contralto voice fairly rang with the spirit of the gypsies’ life, Sinfo and Marto, played by Joe Dearing and Ellsworth Barnett. made the theatre ring with laughter Many a solemn face broke forth with smiles jh E ECHO of amusement upon listening to the two gypsy robbers. Sir George Martendale, played by Edward Peterson, was splendid. His rich baritone voice, combined with his handsome features gave him an air of well being, as such an English gentleman should have. Maleolm Weeks as Lord Craven ean not be given enough praise for the marvelous impersonation of an English Lord, ‘“‘Doneha know,’’ And by his ‘ wit and laughter, ‘‘doncha know.’? Malcolm won his fame in last year’s production, ‘‘The Bo'son’s Bride.”’ Kathryn Martin, as Nina, took the audience into her heart and gave them a beautiful treat. Her exquisite soprano voice rang with all the beauty it eould bestow. Her part as a flirt, she carried off without a flaw, and with the assistance of Captain Jerome, taken by Ralph Devoto, the little love scene was complete. Ralph as a lover was perfect, in movements and in looks. Gerald Havner as Sir Toby Lyons, a social butterfly could not have been better. Gerry, with his forever dropping monoele and his English courtesy. was lovely. Byron MeCormick as Sir MeCorkle was indeed more than a treat. The Cline Theatre rang with applause after Byron rendered his voeal selection- Byron has a well-developed voice and he uses it so well that it is more than pleasing to hear. Frederick Johnson who took the part of the Butler brought peals of lauehter from the audience. Freddy should certainly take up ‘‘butlering’ as a profession, as he needs no practicing to make his position true. The dancing girls under the direction of Miss Mildred Turner were more than enjoyed by all. The Dance of the Gypsies, by Edith Anderson and Roland Herbert, and a solo dance by Miss Anderson. were something long to be remembered. The Double Quartet,’’? consisting of eight beautiful and gorgeously eowned maidens, was exquisite. The blending of their well trained voices in their four-part selections were beautiful. They have won bigh words of praise and since the play have been in much demand, at festivals and musical entertainments Much praise is given to Miss Edith MeGuire for her splendid accompan) work on the piano, which brought out the entire play The help of Mrs. Yost and Miss O'Connor was ereatly appreciated by all. By MADELINE ALEXANDERSON SENIOR PLAY As the Echo goes to press, Miss Fields, who will coach the Senior Play, announces the play and the cast. The class chose for presentation Pinero’s four-act comedy, Trelawney of the Wells, which will be given at the Cline Theatre on the evening of June 6. Trelawney of the Wells has been a great favorite since its first appear- ance. The comedy is excellent, and the touch of pathos, together with the little romance which forms the slender thread of the plot, makes Trelawney EE ne Cer O appeal to everyone.

A large crowd attended, the music was fine, and the party was voted a decided success. Spring Freshman Reception If the success of a party is determined by the numbers that attend, the Freshman Reception of the spring term was certainly a_ success. Roy Heyward, our Student Body President, welcomed the Freshmen, and Frances Hatch, the Freshman President, responded. Dancing stunts, and the Freshman Grand March formed the entertain- ment for the evening. Girls’ Jinks The Girls’ Jinks was one of the best parties of the year. Though the regular crowd of boys was not present, the substitutes did very well. The costumes were certainly good. There were little girls and little boys, old ladies and old men, old-fashioned girls, Japanese girls, Hawaiian girls, pirates, the Sheik and his wife, Bowery Janes, and girls in disguise as Just plain boys. The main events of the evening were dancing, eating, and the presenta- tion of stunts: The stunts, as usual, were simple but funny. Some excellent musieal talent, both in singing and leadership, was displayed by these stunts Two pirates, Gladys Loew and Mabelclare Reinike, won the prize for th best sustained characters, and an old-fashioned girl, Catherine Hughes, the’ for the prettiest costume. Aggie Dance On May 12th, the Aggies gave a dance, and they certainly proved that their department is one of the peppiest of the school. Due to he hard work of the decorating committee, the gymnasium looked unusually attractive with dec- orations of Scotch broom and weeping willow. A large crowd attended the party, there was good punch, the music was fine and everyone had a g00G time. Junior College Dance On May 20th, the Junior College gave a dance to all the Seniors of the THE ECHO county. Though there was not a large crowd present, everyone who at- tended had a good time.

As we look back over the four years we have just completed, we know that they have been successful years. Now the future is before us! What will it bring? To some, commencement will bring the busy life of our eommunity. To others, promotion to a hicher school; but for us all gradua- tion day will be the beginning of the test to which life subjects us, — the showing of our worth as individuals. No matter in what higher education or in what work we are most inter- ested, perseverance is necessary. We have all doubtless learned during our four years of high school work that there is no royal road to learning. The benefits of a popular government. too, are not attained without effort, and eternal perseverance is the price of excellence. Let us always go forward, and aided by strength of purpose we are bound to be led to vietory! DOROTHY SEAWELL. CLUBS In nearly ever school noted for its school spirit, there are numerous elubs or societies. During the last term, of course, we have been working under difficulties. so that we have had little time for societies or clubs. The few which have continued to exist have served to show us the unlimited pos- sibilities for clubs in the high school. These clubs should serve for social as well as practical purposes. We need something on the plan of a rotary club in the hieh school to initiate new movements. And what about a cartoonist or art club: a radio elub, a sports club and possibly a rooting club. Clubs would affo rd new ideas and means of instilling school spirit into a slumber- ine student body. It will devolve upon the lower classmen to initiate these elubs as soon as a centralized school system is in effect in Santa Rosa, and to see that they do useful work. FRANCIS PIAZZI. AN LE 38 ECHO $ J ey es 2 fo =e head p at — J} S ge) ‘as id pres TS Football Team The EE BG sGl © Funthall By Garry Grayman FOREWORD The fall of 1921 saw many new fellows out for football. The boys were very anx- ious to don their moleskins and eet in the gaine. Though handicapped by injuries to the players and lack of experience, the team of 1921 was very suecessful and won the Northwest section of the C. I. F.. los- ing only to Berkeley, which tied for the state championship, The boys soon after the first call for practice, began to round into form. Coach Hodge put up the tackling dummy after it had been idle for a year; and also had the line men buck the charging machine. In a short time the boys began to learn the fundamentals of football: charging, tackling, kicking, falling on the ball. in- terferenece and signals. Although many of the team of '20 had been graduated, Coach Hodee developed Ralph Devot the best team he had ever had. which not only won the league, but also took the Captain Northwest Championship, by the defeat of Ukiah and Eureka. Captain Devoto, Joe Dearing, Grog Noonan, and Ransom Petray were the only backfield men left from last vear’s team, In the line, Stocker, Ward, Johnson and Grace were the only experienced men. The new players, Barnett, Everett, Brewer, Homan, Hudson. Parmeter, Heyward and Gutcher. deserve much credit for the work they did during the year. PRACTICE GAMES Santa Rosa—i3 ; Richmond—14 The first game of the season was with Richmond, on our own field, after our team had had ten days’ practice. Although we were beaten, the game was_close and hard fought, Richmond winning by just one point. Richmond started the game by kicking off. Dearing received the ball and made a twenty yard run. The first quarter consisted of a series of line bueks by each side. The teams were evenly matched, as neither team was able to score. In the second quarter there was more action Richmond made THE ECHO a touchdown on a fumble, but Santa Rosa came back by putting Dearing over for a touchdown. Devoto converted, tying the score. Richmond seemed to be havine the breaks, for soon after, Jackson of Richmond in- ercepted a pass in a freakish manner and ran to a touchdown. Soon after Richmond converted the half ended, with Richmond leading, 14-7. In the second half Santa Rosa started the game like a whirlwind. Yard by yard we forced Richmond back, until we were stopped on the ten yard line, but Dearing intercepted a forward pass and ran fifty yards to a touch- down thru Richmond’s team. Devoto failed to convert, as the ball struek he goal post. The game ended in Richmond’s favor, 14-13. Line-up for Santa Rosa: Kerrigan (1. e.); Gutcher (1. t.); Barnett (I. g.); Stocker (ce); Griffin (x. @.); Ward (r. t.); Johnson (1. e.); Devoto (q. b.); Dearing (1. h.); Iley- ward (1. h.): and Noonan (f. b.). Substitutes: Grace for Barnett, Parmeter for Gutcher, Rateliffe for Kerrigan and Kerrigan for Ratcliffe. San ta Rosa—33 Petaluma—9 The second game was with Petaluma. This was Petaluma’s first year of football. The game was slow owing to the faet that many substitutions were made by both teams. Captain Devoto’s playing in this game was noticeable. During the first half Petaluma seemed to hold us from scoring, as we made only two touchdowns. Devoto and Noonan earried the ball across. The frequent penalizing of Petaluma, due to her lack of experience, caused eains for Santa Rosa. In the second quarter both sides resorted to line bueks, but neither scored. In the second half Santa Rosa made three touchdowns. Hudson, substi- tuting for Johnson, caught a forward pass in the midst of four Petaluma players and slipped thru for a touchdown. Dearing and Devoto each made a touchdown. The playing of these three point-makers was conspicuous. Santa Rosa’s line-up was as follows: Johnson (r. e.); Ward (r. t.) ; Griffin (r. g.); Stocker (¢.); Grace (1. g.); Guteher (1. t.); Kerrigan (1 e.); D. Moore (r. h.); Heyward (1. h.); Noonan (f. b.): and Devoto (q. b.). Substitutes : G. Moore for Heyward, Homan for Ward, Parmeter for Grace, Me - Cormick for Griffin, Grace for MeCormick. Santa Rosa—6 Lowell—14 On a foggy and misty day Santa Rosa played Lowell Hi at the stadium in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The game was fast and eruelling to both teams. Lowell started the game like a bunch of demons and before our }oys could check them, they crossed the goal line. Then Santa Rosa got up her fighting spirit and Devoto plunged thru the line for a touehdown. We did not convert, as one of the players laid the ball on the ground when he was making the pic. This lost us the right to convert. Lowell came back in the second quarter and made another touchdown. This ended the scoring for both sides, The second half showed more open playing by both teams. Our huskies THE ECHO fought Lowell to a standstill in this half. The score was 14-6. in Lowell’s favor, Dearing was the outstanding star of the game, and the line played very well on both defensive and offensive. In the first half Devoto was knocked insensible but the fighting captain recovered and played again at a later period of the game, There were no other injuries. The line-up was as follows: Johnson (r.e.); Brewer (r.t-); Grace (1. o.) ; Stocker(e.) ; Griffin (1. @.) - Ward (1. t.); Gutcher (l. e.); Dearing (r. h.): Heyward (1. h.); Noonan tf. b.); Devoto (q. b. Substitutes : G. Moore for Heyward. D. Moore for Devoto, Devoto for G. Moore, Everett for Griffin, and Barnett for Grace. Santa Rosa—7 Junior College—9 One of the best games played was against the Junior College. The College team consisted of eraduates from last year’s team. But tho the College team was more experienced, the Hieh School managed to hold them to a 7-9 score. The game was hard fought and well played Captain Devoto played a stellar came. THe smashed the College line to pieces, and made the only touchdown by brill iantly picking a forward pass out of the air and running to a touehdown. The Collece boys made then score when Nevers, one of the star players of last vear’s team, made a toueh down by plunging over the line. The score remained even, the ball se sawing back and forth across the field, until a bad pass from center resulted in a safety. The game ended soon after. The line-up for Santa Rosa was as follows: Johnson (r. e.); Ward (r. t.); Barnett (rv. ): Stocker (e.); Grace (I. g.); Parmeter (1. t.); Kerrigan (1. e.); Dearing (r. h.): Devoto (q. b. Noonan (f. b.); D. Moore (1. h.). Santa Rosa—0 Hitchcock Military Academy—64 Santa Rosa’s poorest showing this season was in the game with the Witeheoek Military Aeademy team. Ths game was marred by many fumbles on our side and improved only by the quick recoveries by the Academy team. But altho the fumbles were made by our team, and we were hoplessly out-classed from the start, our team deserves credit for sticking obstinately to the game, and fighting their hardest to prevent any touchdowns from being made. Hiteheoek had all the breaks, and they took good advantage of them. Very often in football the breaks win the game. It was in this game that Captain Devoto cracked his shoulder blade, an accident which kept him out of two games. Hitchcock started the game by kiekine off. Devoto received the bal! and ran it back twenty vards. After being forced to kick, the Academy team started to roll up the seore. Devoto’s injury at. this point almost dis- heartened out team. But tho our efforts were fitile, our team still continued to fight to the last. The line-up for Santa Rosa was as follows: Johnson (r. e.); Brewer (r. t.); Homan (r. .): Ward (c.); Grace (1, @.); THE ECHO Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (l..e.); Dearing (q. b.); Devoto (%. h.); Noonan (f. b.); Heyward (1. h.). Substitutes : Barnett for Ward, Parmeter for Brewer, Nitzke for Everett, Moore for Devoto. Santa Rosa—7 Tamalpais Military Academy—3é Sinee Calistoga forfeited their game with us, Coach Hodge managed to get a practice game before the next league game, with Tamalpais Military Academy. The Academy boys proved to be a surprise and defeated us. Altho all the breaks went against us, we plaved a hard game endeavoring to check the opponents. Captain Devoto, due to injuries which he sustained in the Hitchcock game, was greatly missed by the team. Dearing received T'am’s kick and was downed in his tracks. A bad pass from center allowed Tamalpais to get possession of the ball, which they soon turned into a touchdown. The Academy team soon followed this with an- other touchdown. The quarter ended 14-0 in favor of Tamalpais. In the second quarter Santa Rosa came into its own. Dearing dove thru the line for a touchdown. Santa Rosa was held three times on the one yard line, unable to cross it for a touehdown. This quarter was all Santa Rosa’s. But in the third quarter Santa Rosa lost control of herself and twe Santa Rosa fumbles resulted in touchdowns for Tamalpais. Tamalpais was held to one touchdown in the last quarter. ‘arnett, playing center, caught a pass which had evaded both teams, and raa for x THE ECHO —a00—=—.. ooo touchdown. The referee refused to count this touchdown, as the legality of this play was doubted. The game ended soon after with Tam on the heavy end of the score. Line-up for Santa Rosa was as follows: Farley (1. e.); Griffin (1. t.) ; Everett (1. g.); Barnett (c.): Grace (r. gis Ward (r. t.); Guteher (r. e.); Johnson (q. b.); Hudson (lL. h.): Dearing (r. h.) ; Noonan (f.) Substitutes : Parmeter for Griffin, D. Moore for Johnson, Johnson for Farley, Kerrigan for Dearing, and Dearing for Noonan. FIRST LEAGUE GAMES Santa Rosa—35 Petaluma—6 The first league game was played here with Petaluma. Altho this was Petaluma’s first year of football, still they tried their best. but their efforts were unsuccessful in holding back our smashing backfield. Dearing was the individual star of the game, making three of the five touchdowns. Santa Rosa won the toss and kicked off. Petaluma received but lost the ball on downs. Dearing soon trotted over the line for a touchdown. Peta- luma managed to hold us on the one yard line for quite a few times. In the second quarter Moore and Heyward dove over the line for touchdowns. Petaluma blew up in this quarter and our team drifted through them easily. The score for the first half 21-0, in our favor. Petaluma kicked off in the second half and it was received by Noonan; who called a quick formation and threw a thirty yard pass to Dearing, who had been camping on the side lines. Dearing made a forty vard jaunt to a touchdown. Dearing bucked over the line again for another touchdown. Now Petaluma got together her team and managed to make a touchdown. but failed to convert. During the latter part of the game Petaluma held us about even. Line-up for Santa Rosa: Johnson (r. e.); Parmeter( r. t.); Homan (r. g.); Barnett (ec.); Graee (1. g.); Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (1. e.); Dearing (r. h.); Noonan (f. b.): Ueyward (1. g.) ; G. Moore (q. b.). Substitutes : Clar for Parmeter, King for Grace, McCormick for Homan, Nitzke for Everett, Ward for Barnett, Kerrigan for Gutcher. Santa Rosa—49 Tamalpais Union Hi—0 This was one of the greatest games Santa Rosa ever played. Tamalpais Union Hi, considered the strongest team in the league, was defeated by a team which had just been beaten by a score of 64-0. Tamalpais came up here confident as could be, expecting to defeat us by a large score. Their hopes were blasted before the end of the first quarter. Our boys put up the prettiest exhibition of football ever seen on the local gridiron. Our. aerial attack was very effective. Long passes from Gutcher to Hudson gained yardage time and again. And when it came to straight football, Tamalpais. simply crumpled to pieces by our smashing baekfield and charging line. The team showed a decided improvement over the last game. There were no THE ECHO fumbles on our side and much better playing and co-operation all around, Captain Devoto, playing his first game since the Hitchcock game, was the individual star. Not only by making three touchdowns, but by his playing in the game, he put more fight and spirit into our team. Tamalpais kicked off and Devoto, who caught the ball, was downed in his tracks. By a series of line plunges we went over the line for the first rouchdown, which was made on a buck thru right tackle by Devoto. This ended the scoring for the first quarter. The second quarter was the turning point of the game, for Dearing and Hudson each went over for a touchdown. Devoto added two more. The quarter ended soon after. We made five touchdowns in the first half, while Tamalpais did not even succeed in once making her yards. In the second half, Tamalpais came back determined to stop us. They strenethened their defense and held our boys to two touchdowns. Parmeter substitutine for Hudson scored in the third quarter, In the last quarter Noonan went over for another touchdown. When the final whistle blew, Tamalpais was on our five yard line. Both Dearing and Noonan did well in the back field. Hudson was great in dodging and running thru the Tamalpais team And the line played a great game. The line-up was as follows: Johnson (r, e.); Ward (r. t:) ; le - o.); Stoeker (c.); Grace (1. g.); Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (1. e.); Dearing (r. h.); Devoto (q. b.); Noonan (f- b.); Hudson (1. h.) Substitutes : Farley for Johnson, Brewer for Everett, Parmeter for Hudson, Hudson for Parmeter. Santa Rosa—7 Napa—-7 This came was for the championship of the league. The game was hot and hard fought from start to finish: The playing of our team was not up to par, due to the fact that the heat and dust were a little more than our huskies were used to. The absence of Noonan, regular fullback, weakened our team, but Parmeter did well in his position. The Napa Hi team was built around Underhill, a former Santa Rosan. It was his brilliant playing and leadership that made Napa tie us. Devoto made the only touchdown for Santa Rosa, and Dearing converted. Napa received the ball, and within four minutes made a tovehdown by 4 short pass from Underhill to Crandall. In the second quarter Devoto went over for a touchdown, on a line b el It was in this quarter that Devoto threw some pretty passes, two of whieh were eood for thirty yards each. Santa Rosa almost succeeded in making another touchdown in this quarter, but we lost the ball on downs, when Napa held us on their one yard line. The third quarter was a punting contest between the two teanis Neither side scored. In the last quarter Santa Rosa outplayed Napa. A pass from Devoto to Gutecher brought the ball to Napa’s thirty yard line, and but for the whistle it is possible we would have scored again. It was in this quarter that Bill THE ECHO Brewer dislocated his shoulder. As we were not defeated in any of the league games, and Napa had Jost one, we therefore won the championship of the Northwest Section of the California Interscholastic Federation. This put us in line for a game with Berkeley. The line-up for Santa Rosa was as follows: Gutcher (r. e.); Brewer (r. t.); Barnett (¥- 2.) ; Stocker (e.); Grace (1. g.); Everett (1. t.); Johnson (1. e.): Dearing (r. h-): Parmeter (1. ay ee Hudson (q. b.); Devoto (f, b.)- Substitutes : Homan for Brewer, Ratcliffe for Johnson, and Ward for Stoeker. Santa Rosa—26 Ukiah—i3 Santa Rosa journeyed to Ukiah for this game. and although the trip was long, managed to trim Ukiah on their own field. The eame was played on a field of mud, and in making end runs the team had to wade through the mud. This was a ereat handicap and as our men had just completed a long journey, they did not open up and work together as usual. Football being a new sport to the Ukiah men they made many fouls. Ukiah kieked off, and Devoto ran the ball back twenty yards. We were foreed to kick, and Ukiah then carried it across the line for a touchdown, which they failed to convert. Santa Rosa then received the kickoff, and on an end run Devoto made a touchdown which was converted: The quarter ended with Santa Rosa in the lead, 6-7. Neither side scored in the second quarter. A few passes were tried but they failed, due to the wet and slippery condition of the ball. The rain was so heavy in this quarter that it was thought that the eame would be delayed, but both teams stayed on the field and waded through the full quarter, In the third quarter, Devoto scored a touchdown after a series of line bucks, but failed to convert. During the last quarter Santa Rosa beean to play real football. Ukiah’s line was smashed to pieces and we got away for long end runs. Dearing scored on an end run. Devoto followed suit with another touchdown. Al- though outplayed, Ukiah managed to make a touchdown. Dearing again made another touchdown, but a dispute arose over the legality of the play and the touchdown was not allowed. The line-up for Santa Rosa was as follows: Johnson (r- e.); Homan (r. t.); Barnett (r, 2.); Stocker (c.): Grace (1. g.); Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (1. e.): Ward (r. h.); Moore (1. h.) ; Hudson (q. b.); Devoto (f. b.). Substitutes : Dearing for Moore, Noonan for Ward. Santa Rosa—54 Eureka—10 Eureka came down to Santa Rosa confident they would win. But they reckoned without their host, as the rather one sided score shows. Eureka started the game by kicking off. Devoto brought it baek for twenty yards. Eureka drew first blood, drop-kicking the ball over the bar. THE “ECHO ee Santa Rosa dug in and sent Devoto over on a cross buck. This ended the scoring. During the second half Guteher tossed the ball to Hudson, who ran for thirty yards to a touchdown. This took the fight out of the Northern fel- lows, for Devoto soon after sauntered over the line for another touchdown. But Eureka came back and planted the ball over our line on a buck: The half ended, Santa Rosa leading, 20-10. Santa Rosa took the second half on points. Eureka was outplayed in every phase of the game. Eureka’s ends seemed to be favorite points of attack for Santa Rosa’s sprinting backfield, and ground was gained consist- ently on end runs. Our line opened up wide holes through which our backfield players took turns in carrying the ball. It was in the third quarter that Devoto again resorted to the playing for which he is noted. He bucked the ball down the field and again seored. Eureka couldn’t fathom our hard- hitting style of play. Parmeter followed in Devoto’s footsteps and took the ball over on a line buek. Devoto loped around Eureka’s end for another touchdown. And the team as a whole and individually were taking Kureka’s football steamroller apart and earrying it along with them. Moore rambled over for a touchdown, and then Devoto put the finishing touch to a good day’s work and made another. Devoto was easily the outstanding star of this game. His smashing line bucks and end runs were equally suecessful. Towards the close of the game, Petray, who was substituting for Parmeter, ran practically the whole length of the field with the ball, was tackled and thrown three times, but kept on going. The line, individually and collective- ly, easily outplayed the Eureka boys. The holes which they made were responsible for many long gains. Line-up for Santa Rosa: Johnson (r. e.); Homan (r. t-:); Barnett (r. g.); Stoeker (e¢.); Grace (1. g.); Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (1. e.); Dearing (r. h.); Ward (1 h.); Hnd- son (q. b.); and Devoto (f. b.)- Substitutes : Noonan for Ward, Parmeter for Noonan, Ward for Homan. King for Everett, Moore for Dearing, Nitzke for Barnett, McCormick for Grace, Petray for Parmeter, Rateliffe for Johnson, and Farley for Gutcher. Santa Rosa—0 Berkeley—82 This game was to decide the champions for the North Coast Section of the C I. F. Berkeley had a very strong team, having defeated all the teams which they had played. The Santa Rosa line held Berkeley so that they could not score. But as soon as Berkeley realized they couldn’t penetrate the line by bucking, they resorted to an aerial offense. They used the forward pass effectively. Santa Rosa could not seem to stop them. During the first half, Berkeley’s well trained eleven made seven touch- downs, two on line bucks and five on forward passes. Their interference, as usual, was in perfect working order, and this was what really won the came for this formidable team. Devoto played well on defense, but he was foreed to kick often. Dearing was injured during the second quarter. THE ECHO —ee—sSsSs00———y——woss— ——ajjjjlllllll In the second half the Berkeley team resorted to trick plays, and suc- ceeded in making five touchdowns. The game ended with Santa Rosa hold- ing the Berkeley team for four downs on Santa Rosa’s one yard line, which shows that we were beaten by the forward passing of the Berkeley team, vot by the style of play to which we have become accustomed. Line-up for Santa Rosa: Johnson (r. e.); Ward (r. t.); Barnett (r. g.); Stocker (e-); Homan (l. g.); Everett (1. t.); Gutcher (1. g-); Dearing (r. h.); Hudson (1. h.): Noonan (q. b.) ; Devoto (f. b.).

The season started late, therefore there were only a few practice eames These games we played with our old league rival. Analy; with last year’s basketball team; with church teams, and-with local organizations.’ All these practice games we won by good majorities. NORTH-WESTERN LEAGUE SERIES Unlimited Games S. R. H. S.—66 vs. Cloverdale High—19 Santa Rosa started the first league game with a walk-away. The orange and black quintet simply outclassed the Cloverdale five. Although the entire team was composed of new members. the boys show- ed their ability to play basketball by winning easily from a lighter team. S. R. H. S.—22 vs. Petaluma High—44 The second game of the series proved disastrous for Santa Rosa. Peta- luma took the game with the score standing at 44-22: but this doesn't by any means show the stubborn fight which our team put up- They fought to the end, and were beaten by a much more experienced and heavier team. Gutcher, our new man at center, and Johnson, euard. played a game worthy of mention. The team fought hard but the handicap of a strange court was too much for them to overcome. S. R. H. S—20 vs. Analy High—42 Always showing their old fighting spirit-and good sportsmanship, Santa Rosa heavyweights went to their seeond defeat fiehtine gamely doing their best throughout a losing game. Grayman played his best game of the season. bageine most of our pomts. We always try to defeat our old rival. Analy, but when we lose, we know we lose to a good buneh of sportsmen, as they proved to be in this came, S. R. H. S—26 vs- Healdsburg High—34 Santa Rosa went into this game with all of. the fieht they had at their command. We led the game until the third quarter and then Healdsbure forged ahead. The score at the final whistle stood 34-26 in favor of Healds burg. This defeat put the unlimited team out of the fieht for the league championship. In this game Heyward, our mideet euard, played a stellar brand of bas- ket ball against a much heavier forward. The team outplayed Healdsburg, and with a little luek might have won. THE ECHO See ee POST SEASON SCORES S. R. H. S—44 vs. Sonoma High—11 Although we had been eliminated from the league by our defeat at the hands of Healdsburg, we played Sonoma in order to complete our schedule Captain Barnett was easily the star of this game, shooting 26 of our 44 points. His snappy playing encouraged his teammates to victory. S. R. H. S—29 vs. Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy—31 At the invitation of Mt- Tamalpais Military Academy we journeyed south only to be defeated by their team. This game was not a league game. Inspired by the Sonoma victory, the team was right there with the old fighting spirit. The game was ours until the last few minutes of play, when Tamalpais rallied and won. ‘‘Grog’’ Noonan, center, ‘ Snail’’ Barnett and ‘‘Blash’’ Grayman, forwards, all played a good game. Although we did not win the league title, we had a good team for their first year together and the fellows certainly deserve credit for doing their best to uphold the honor of the school. 130 POUND GAMES Preliminary Games S. R. H. S—87 vs. Analy 130’s—25 Santa Rosa’s 130’s, with two veterans of last year’s team on the line-up, made up one of the strongest light-weight teams in this section of the county. Analy fell under the keen playing of the Santa Rosa light-weights by the score of 37-25. S. R. H. S.—35 vs. 130’s of 1921—24 This game was another victory for the Santa Rosa midgets. The victory was due both to the accurate shooting of the forwards and to the team work which was evident throughout the game. NORTH-WESTERN LEAGUE SERIES 8. R. H. §—117 vs. Cloverdale 130’s—8 The first league game of the season was an easy victory for our 130’s The team worked together perfectly, making their passes and their shots ac curately. Kerrigan and Bath worked wonderfully at the forward positions. Kerrigan broke the school record for individual goals, making 55 points, while Bath ran a close second with 42 points. S. R. H. S—27 vs. Petaluma 130’s—30 Santa Rosa, having lost one of the snappiest 130 pound guards that the high school has ever known, was put under a great handicap. However, this did not dampen the spirits of the players but made them fight as they had never done before. The team played well during all of the game, the guard: doing their work in a speedy and effective manner- The score was a tie throughout the first three quarters of the game, and then Petaluma manage’ to draw ahead and won by a margin of three points. S. R. H. S—31 vs. Analy 130’s—18 This game marked the erisis of the basketball season. If we | s’ THE ECHO SS... eeeeeEeEeEeEeEEEE————— ee game, we would have no chance for the league championship. But the team played up to its form and overwhelmed the Gold Ridge five, 31-18. S. R. H. S—20 vs. Healdsburg 130’s—21 Santa Rosa went on the floor determined to win. The team was very badly crippled, due to the loss of Kerrigan, our star forward. With a substi- tute in Kerrigan’s place the team went out with their old time, die-hard fighting spirit. During the whole game both teams played evenly, neither ad- vancing more than three points in the lead. In the last minute of play the score stood a tie, when a Santa Rosa player fouled, giving Healdsburg a chance to make one point. Just as the free goal was shot the final whistle blew. Santa Rosa had lost by the score of 21-20 This game eliminated us from the race for the league honors. S. R. H. S.—18 vs, Sonoma 130’s—20 This game was played in order to finish out the league schedule. Al- though there remained no chance for the championship of the C. I. F., the team fought for all there was in them. At the final whistle Santa Rosa had been nosed out by a margin of two points. S: R. H. 8.—24 vs. Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy—29 Our midgets traveled south for this game after the season had closed, and were defeated by the seore of 29-24. This was the last game of the season and closed the basketball season for Santa Rosa High School.

Our team was so excited that they forgot how to throw and cateh a ball. We were able to hit the Petaluma pitcher but we could not make the necessary tallies. Though we were defeated, our boys did not lose interest in the game, and it put a fighting spirit in everyone. Coach Hodge saw that he had much good material to develop.

The boys all felt great and played a avonderful. game of ball. ‘Buster’? Coates pitched a fine game and was credited with eight strikeouts. He also allowed them only two hits in five innings Dakin pitched three in nings and MeLaren one. Dakin and MeLaren did good work: Santa Rosa—11 Analy—6€ Analy came over confident of winning because they played in the semi- finals of the state championship last year. Durine the first few innines Analy seored four runs. During the remaining innines we settled down and played real baseball. ‘‘Babe’’ Woods struck out the Analyans one after another and allowed them only two runs for the rest of the eame. In the fourth inning our team mauled the Analy pitcher and scored five rns. con- tinuing on a batting rampage for the rest of the game. This victory showed us that we had a team to be proud of. Lramw Games Healdsburg Vs. Santa Rosa, 8-1 This was the first league game which resulted in a defeat for Santa Rosa. Buster Coates started the game and did very: well but his support was poor. He was replaced by Babe Woods in the fifth inning. But it was too late then as the damage was done. The Santa Rosa batters seemed! helpless for they failed to hit the Healdsburg pitcher. Some of our main- Stays of the practice games were ruled out of the league games on account of their scholarship standing; this weakened the team to a great extent. Die tie Calte® Ne ee ee Analy vs. Santa Rosa, 16-4 This was the last league game of the year and it was played over at Analy. Al Collins pitched for Analy and Coats and Dakin for Santa Rosa. Collins seemed to have the Santa Rosa players scared off the map as he fanned many. But he had good support, which our pitchers didn’t. Parmeter again featured in the game as he wanted to kill the umpire. Next season we are going to trim Analy so bad that they will not show themselves for a year or so. The past three years we have defeated Analy in the practice games, only to fall down in the final game. This next year we are going to razz them in both. Petaluma vs. Santa Rosa Petaluma having beaten us in the practice game had an edge on us, but we sure gave them a good game. We started the game with two triples hit by Gutcher and Parmeter but the rest of the team failed to hit in the pinch so we scored but one run in the first inning. Babe Woods, star twirler of Santa Rosa, struck the Petaluma players out right and left, but our infield was like a sieve. Santa Rosa got twelve hits and Petaluma seven. Captain Parmeter was the jazziest player on the team for he was talk- ine and razzing Petaluma all through the game. SWIMMING Santa Rosa won the first swimming meet ever held under the auspices of the C. I. F. by a score of 52 points against Tamalpais’ 51. The meet was held at the San Rafael baths, Saturday. May 27. The entrants from Santa Rosa were Barnett, Johnson, McCormick, Von Tillow, Coates, J. Grace, Richardson and Pomeroy. Barnett placed first in the 50 yd. swim and also in the exhibition dives. Richardson placed third in the exhibition dives. MeCormick won the 440 yd. swim and Coates placed third in it. Johnson took second in the 220 yd. and fourth in the 100 yd. Coates tvok another third place in the 220 yd. MeCormick created a sensation by winning the plunge for distance with a plunge of over fifty-one feet. Pomeroy took first in the 100 yd. breast stroke event. In the 130 Tb. class, yon Tillow won the 50 yd. and Jim Grace took third. Von Tillow also won the 100 yd. with Richardson taking third. The Santa Rosa boys took second in the relay race. The winning of this meet brings another C, I. F. pennant to Santa Rosa High. All the first place winners receive the block ‘‘S’’ as this was a C. I. F. league meet. For a first experiment, this meet was a decided success, and we hope that we may repeat the performance in years to follow. ECHO x ¢ “G SHOE ee | Waa ACKER.

The eight fellows who went to the meet were: Gutcher, Hudson, Adams, Grayman, Barbier, Morin, Pedersen and Kidd. The trials for the 100 yds. and the 440 yds. were held at eleven o’eloek Saturday morning. Kidd and Adams both won their heats in very fast time which qualified them for the finals in the afternoon. In the finals Kidd tied for second with two other athletes, in a very close and exciting race. The second place men were just inches behind the man who won- Adams got off to a very poor start, but was right up close to the second place men. Barbier and Gutcher ran in the trials of the 440 yds. Barbier qualified for the finals in the afternoon, but failed to place in them. Guteher dic not place in the trials. Hudson ran fourth place in the half, and he sure did run a great race He followed the winners closely in the fast time of 2.2-4. He did not place in the mile, although he ran a very good race, and made a wonderful sprint at the finish which brought him to about fifth place. Adams qualified for the finals in the 220, but did not place in the finals. Kidd did not get in the finals. Grayman was entered in the 100, 220, and the relay. He did not place in either of the sprints because of lack of training. Pedersen failed to place in the pole vault, although he was only inches from the winners, . Morin was only entered in the broad jump, but did not plaee- Morin should have been entered in the sprints as he is a very good sprinter. Santa Rosa took second place in the relay. Morin ran the first lap touch- ing Grayman, who ran the second lap. Grayman touched Barbier for the third lap and he touched Kidd for the last lap. Kidd passed four men and sueceeded in getting a few feet from the winner. The time was very fast. DON KIDD. Santa Rosa—57 Analy—65 The dual meet with Analy on their track went against us, and Analy managed to win by a margin of eight points. Johnny Morin and ‘‘Babe’’ Woods tried for individual honors, with 13 points each. The 100 yard dash went to Santa Rosa. Morin, Adams and Grayman placed in the order named and left Collins of Analy camping in his holes. Woods won the discus and the javelin throw, and took second in the shot put. Morin tucked away the 100 yard dash and the broad jump, and took second in the 220 yard run, a good day’s work for Santa Rosa. Hudson captured first place in both the 880 yard run and the mile run, and a third in the pole vault. Von Tillow took third in the high hurdles: Morin and Adams first and second in the 220 yard; R. Hootman first and Plover third THE -E CHO oo .?; O0wo——oO in the 220 low hurdles; D. Hootman second in the discus; and Pedersen first in the vault. Analy won the relay.

Santa Rosa—55 Petaluma—42 Analy—25 Again the Orange and Black placed first, this time in a big tri-cornered meet held on our track in which Analy, Petaluma and Santa Rosa partici- pated. The surprise of this meet came when Roland Hudson, Santa Rosa’s best distance man won the half mile from Schwobeda of Petaluma, who had earlier in the season won the half mile in the north state section meet held at Stanford. The Petaluma rooters were completely surprised to see Hudson step away from their best man within the last 70 yards in a fast sprint which carried him across the tape a few feet in the lead. The 100 yard dash was the speed feature of the day and easily won by Ponald Kidd, Santa Rosa sprinter, in the remarkable time of 10 seconds flat. Val Adams, also of Santa Rosa, finished a close second. The official time was caught by three stop watches of the four at work. The Analy team was slated to win, as they had defeated both Santa Rosa and Petaluma in dual meets this season, but they did not prove dan- gerous, because several of their best men, Al Collins, MeMannis, Williams and the Talbot brothers were unable to compete. Hudson was high point man for Santa Rosa, scoring 14 points. Santa Rosa’s men placed as follows: Kidd: First in 100 yard dash; second in 220 yard dash. Adams: Second in 100 yard dash.

Hudson starred for Santa Rosa, taking first in the 440 yard dash and third in the 880. Morin took second in 220 yard dash, and made a wonderful run in the 220 yard lap of the relay. Woods won second in the javelin and third in the discus. Stewart took third in the high hurdles. Adams started the relay, finishing his lap in the lead. He passed the stick to Grayman who dropped back a few places. McLaren received the stick with things looking dark for Santa Rosa. But MeLaren eained and ran one of his prettiest races, putting Santa Rosa back into first place. McLaren passed the stick to Morin and John ran true to form and finished first. This gave them each a bronze medal. ANALY RUNNING CARNIVAL The students of Analy High School were hosts to ten other schools, represented by over one hundred athletes. in a big running carnival. From the start of the unlimited meet it was evident that Santa Rosa would win and when the last relay race had been run, we had rolled up 33 points to the 24 of our nearest competitor, Analy. Petaluma finished third with 20 points, Tamalpais fourth with 13, and Vallejo fifth with 8. A large silver cup was given to the winners to be held for a year. Pennants were given to the winning relay teams and medals to the individual winners. Johnnie Morin pulled a surprise when he defeated Collins, of Analy, in a fast hun- dred. McLaren was close behind Collins. Stewart defeated his old rival, Giant of Vallejo, in the 120 yard high hurdles, The Santa Rosa men placed as follows: Morin: First in the 100 vd. dash: second in the 220 yard dash.

The Orange and Black lightweights fought hard, but with the finish of the final relay, were left on the short end of the score. As Analy was sponsoring the meet, they did not accept the 120 lb. team cup, so Santa Rosa took another eup to add to her collection. The midgets placed as follows: Demeo: Second in the 100 yd. dash; third 220 yd. dash. Jarboe: First, 120 yd. low hurdles. Stump: Fourth in the 50 yd. dash and in the 120 yd. low hurdles. Anderson: Fourth in the 220 yd. dash. The 440 yd. relay team with Doig, Stump, Demeo and Jarboe in the line- up, took first. The 880 vd. relay team, consisting of Saarmen, Anderson, Demeo and Jarboe, took second RALPH DEVOTO. SOCCER FOOTBALL Probably the first game of soccer football ever played by a team wear- ing the Orange and Black was staged at Nagle Field in the early pa rt o! January, this vear. It was the first of a scheduled three-game series wit! Healdsbure, but due to the rainy weather, the two final games were not plaved off. Soceer football enthusiasm was in evidence during the training, and man) fellows turned out who have never tried out for any other teams. And wher the first test of their ability came, they managed to put up a good fight, and mande a ereditable showing against their heavier opponents. the end of the game was 1-0, in favor of Healdsburg. But, judging fr showine which our team made, it is quite probable that the scores other two games would have been in our favor. The team for Santa Rosa contained some of the following well know stars: Morin, Raicevieh, Saare, Brians. Von Tillow, Finley, Forsyth, Plover Barnhouse,. Corrigan and Greeott.
