To these public spirited organizations we now express our gratitude and we thank them for their sincere friendship when we need it so badly. Thanks are also due to Corrick’s, Bruner’s and Hosmer’s. Corrick’s gave a nice volume for first place in the Literary Contest. Bruner’s gave a valuable set of oil colors for first place in the Art Contest. Hosmer's save a fine fountain pen for first place in the Poetic Contest. ae ECHO at tf Suncet of High School Ba start ox Lites oS 4 Harold Wendt PEE CEO BYRON McCORMICK NORMA HASTINGS CLARENCE NITZKIE President Secretary Vice-President Motto, “Out of School Life, Into Life's Color, School” Old Rose and Silver The class of 1923 has done well during the four years it has spent in this school. We have fostered social and governmental activities here, and have done our part in maintaining the high standard of scholarship and of athletics always held by the Santa Rosa High School. As Freshmen, although we were often called ‘“‘greenies’’ and ‘‘children,”’ we were received and welcomed. At a reception given in our honor we were delightfully entertained by the Student Body. We decided then that perhaps Freshmen life was not so bad as we had _ thought. However, though we gained in self-confidence as the year advanced as Freshmen we attained little prominence. ; We were kept in submission during our Freshmen year, but as sopho- mores we learned our true relation to the school. Sophomores were on every team that year; our scholarship was good, and we took part in the government and the society of the school. By that time we were accus- tomed to its traditions and customs, and began to take part in its various activities. In our Junior year we were even more active in school affairs. The cap- THE ECHO tain of the school teams were glad to get Junior athletes, and again we received high marks in our studies. We worked hard that we might not miss anything that was happening, and we were usually able to help in some way. In fact, Juniors were prominent in every school activity. But our Senior year has been the most eventful, for we have worked hard and played hard. Besides being members of the school team, the Senior boys won the interclass track meet, a hard-won contest, Both on the athletic field and in the class room Seniors have been conspicuous. Gayle Johnson was our President during the fall term, while Byron Mc- Cormick was the leader of the class through the spring term. ? Throughout these four years, we have given our best to the school, and have loyally upheld its traditions. We have played on its teams, kept up its standard of scholarship, and participated in its society and government. We have done well in this high school. May we do as well after gradua- tion, and be as successful in later life! Louis Mounts '23 ReMuonds I walk among the trees to-day. The tall and graceful redwood trees, While Nature leads me her own way, To hear the sighing of the breeze. She leads me past a clear, cool spring, Where laughing waters dance and play; She leads me on to birds that sing, Mid radiant sunbeams free and gay. Where golden poppies nod and sway By sparkling streams the livelong day. Until at last, when shadows creep, They gently nod and fall to sleep. Margaret Coon, ‘23.

Sal 4) Spel a OS ¢ AG Loy Bunk of World Famed Radin Engineer As members of the class of ‘23, we think it our duty to have in the pages of history a record of the work of the late Armand Saare. We are proud to see the name of a member of our class rank in history with that of his fellow-townsman, Luther Burbank, and many other famous scientists. Mr. Saare started out on his great career with us in his high school days. While in his early teens he became noted for his astonishing abaility in con- structing a radiophone, the Sarson, which bears his name. This set uses the triple inverse duplex circuit, as well as neutralization of capacity coup- ling. This was just one of Mr. Saare’s inventions. At the time of his death, he was president of the Radio Corporation of America. The following are extracts from his log book: Jan. (29,1928: Radio Bennett Valley. To Dr. Paul Kindig, Veterinary Surgeon. Melvin Ward is in critical condition, suffering from a great shock receiv- ed from falling very hard for Nellie Sundman, petite toe-dancer of Noel Collins’ Musical Comedies. Please advise treatment. (Signed) Bennie Miller, Operator. Jan. 25, 1928. Radio Santa Rosa To Bennie Miller. Am sending immediately special nurse, Miss Sunshine Hansen, by Bat- tery Sisters’ Excellent Transportation Service. Will arrive in not less than forty-eight hours. I recommend Miss Hansen as being capable of curing any case of love-sickness. (Signed) Dr. Paul Kindig. March 3, 1935. Broadcast, New York. Mamie Aiken sails on steamer Ellen E. Small, largest ship of the Gutcher Steamship Lines. Leaves pier 23 for Estill, Africa, named after the American explorer, Max Estill. She is taking with her many bottles of Maglycalamoxyhydrate, product of Richard Hall Chemical Works, with its guarantee to be an excellent sunburn preventative. This will enable her and her sister, Verda, to render better service to the natives in their mani- cure and massage parlors. July 4, 1940. Broadcast. Guerneville, Calif. Miss Lucile Fulwider breaks record in swimming the new four-in-hand stroke. She was awarded the Baby Coupe, with springs guaranteed not to hold more than one hundred pounds, given away by the Doig Walden Garage. Unlucky contestants were comforted with all-day suckers, by kindness of Laughlin, Coon Heilborn Candy Store. Gladys Bennyhoff is suffering acute indigestion as a consequence of saving the candy till las:, and eating the stick first. February 31, 1950. Broadcast. Wilfred Station. Madamoiselle Albers and Madam Forsythe French advertise a bargain sale of hand-painted coffins. Come early and avoid the rush. Madame JPISH EER ON EO French received her start in business after her husband, Monsieur French was killed by falling into a lug box while pruning his orchard. The Dorothy Harris Undertaking Parlors were so rushed they buried the Mon- sieur in the box without further attention. October 14, 1963. Broadcast. Santa Rosa, Calif. Lois Mounts announces the opening of the Kant Krab Kurler Kompany. The Kant Krab Kruler is her latest and most useful invention. Besides be- ing an excellent hair curler it may be used as a shoe polisher, can opener, flap-jack turner, and hat rack. Her saleswomen, Doris Bath, Izeta and Velma Burke, and Doris Comstock, owing to their excessive eloguaciousness, have made startling sales in Sebastopol. April 0, 1955. Broadcast. Mark West, Calif. William Davies is suffering a severe cut on the ear which was inflicted when his knife slipped in the bean-eating contest. His wife, formerly Gladys Beaudroit, lost her voice in the vain endeavor to make him hear. Joon 10, 1980. Broadcast. Santa Rosa, Calif. Sheriff Jack Plover offers $1,000 reward for the capture of Joe Cuneo. He is charged with the elimination of cows from the dairy industry, and the ruination of the Frank Grace Creamery. He crossed the river at Trenton with some milkweed and started a Synthetic Milk Dairy. September 39, 1940. Broadcast. Santa Rosa, Calif. The report in the Santa Rosa Bugle that Mr. K. Shaffer, Editor of the Expositor, had received his walking papers, is a grave error. Shaffer states that it is just one of the many slams he receives from Mr. Evans, Editor of the Santa Rosa Bugle. There has been quite a bit of friction be- tween these two men, a consequence of the continued rivalry over a popular junior college girl, (which started in their high school days.) April 19, 1945. Broadcast. Fulton, Calif. Dr. Reven Hootman, President of the United States Society of Assiciated Dentists, presented the Bitter-Sweet Candy Corporation, owned by Karl Saarinen, and controlled by Minerva Salisbury Saarinen, with a platinum plated candy forcep for their valuable services. Owner Saarinen takes this means of thanking Dr. Hootman and the Society, and also wishes to compliment Salesman Mr. G. Havner for his remarkable ability in selling Sticky Chews, the sole product of the Corporation. May 13, 1945. Broadcast. Greece. Val Adams, former Santa Rosa athlete wins Three Meter Race. Many of the contestants were forced to drop out at the end of the first lap. Hud- son and Adams raced neck to neck thruout the second meter until Hudson fell exhausted from smoking too many Terence Tooker cigarettes. June 18, 1846. Broadcast. New York. Vivian Taylor, Emma Schaffer, Beatrice Righetti, and May Parmeter are the lucky girls to be picked for Ziegfield’s 1947 Follies. May 1, 1948. Broadcast. Bellevue, Calif.

The world proclaims Bertram Bean the light-weight boxing champion. After winning a series of matches in the United States against twu formid- able opponents, Harold Harvey and Amadeo, Mr. Bean came to France BD Got be Os 2 to pit his strength against Burdett Egy, the wonder of the European world. May 3, 1950. Broadcast. Piner District. Miss Cecilia Jansen, fifth grade teacher of the Piner school, is surrering from a badly sprained ankle received from falling down the old well. She was rushed in the car of principal, Miss Clarice Collister, to Dr. H. Sullivan's Emergency Hospital. Dr. Sullivan placed the patient under the competent care of Mildred Johnson, head nurse of the fifth floor of the hospital. The patient is reported in a serious condition. September 11, 1952. Broadcast. Ireland. Mr. Byron Delzelle McCormick is seeking to strengthen his now world recognized supremacy over John McCormick by establishing a relationship with the illustrious Duke de Delzelle. The effort has to date proved fruit- less, according to his secretary, Miss McCanse, who, in his behalf, has searched all the official documents of Ireland. When she remonstrated with Mr. Byron Delzelle McCormick for searching the title of the French Duke de Delzelle in Ireland rather than France, McCormick is reported to have retorted in the words of Emerson, “‘A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.’’ Miss McCanse, in defending him from the ridicule of the public for his attempt to secure a title, also quoted Emerson to this effect: “To be great is to be misunderstood.” August 17, 1953. Broadcast. Hydrophobia, India. Miss Elliott, after ten years of unceasing labor, declares she has succeeded in having the natives learn the first half of Noah Webster’ famous book. August 19, 1953. Broadcast, Duncan Mills, Calif. The Great Northwestern Lumber Company of Duncans’ Mills suffered a million dollar loss this month, due to a mysterious fire. The lumber com- pany employed the Mesa Grande branch of the Stockton Yard Detective Force to locate the notorious person responsible. After thorough investi- gation, the officers succeeded in finding the thug to be the most prominent Ted McClaren. Mr. McClaren is now enjoying a two year’s vacation at the Hotel a La San Quentin, where he is displaying great skill in counting the number of cobwebs on the wall of cell No. 40314. August 28, 1953. Broadcast. San Francisco, Calif. Miss Wilma Ginder is the first aviatrix to complete the non-stop coast-to- coast flight, the time being twelve hours, setting the new world’s record. May I1, 1954. Broadcast, Cotati, Calif. Misses Berner and Hall are conducting a Second-Hand Shoppe, specializ- ing in coiffure articles. They also tell how to secure a permanent wave. October 12, 1954 Broadcast. Santa Rosa, Calif. Mr. Clarence Nitzke is suffering a severe stroke of Sunshine. April 31, 1955. Broadcast. Santa Rosa, Calif. Mrs. Harvey Sullivan, formerly Norma Hastings, is spending the week- end in San Francisco. Dr. Martin will join her on Saturday night, when they will have an opportunity to hear Miss Katherin Martin sing at the Palace Hotel. May 1, 1956. Broadcast. Palace Hotel. Miss Katherin Martin rendered several thrilling vocal solos. The first selection was Kitty O’Dare. Lotta-Wind, the next selection, was Author’s Note: Mr. Saare held his breath as long as Miss Martin held the longest and highest note in the difficult piece. Doctors dispute the ques- TPH ES EC RLeO tion whether it was a broken ear drum or lack of breath that caused the demise of the famous radio man.

We were the little green freshmen, who used to wander about as if we were always lost. We were the little fellows who used to sit in the front row of study hall and watch with awe the dignified seniors throw pennies around. Yes, we were green in every sense of the word. We saw, Yes, during our sophomore year we saw. We saw many things. We watched the upper-classmen and learned how to do things and to do them right. It was then we started to take an active part in school affairs. It was then also that we learned the meaning of the word “PEP,” which has made our class famous today. It was a very hard year for us, for we saw the old school burn. It was then we learned how many uses churches have. We conquered. Yes, during our junior year we conquered. We con- quered everything from our studies down to the old rose and silver. When the class pep was dying out, who was it that revived it? What class stands highest in school activities? What class always turns out to school con- test and socials? It’s funny, but the answer to all these questions is the same: the class of ‘ 24. ’ Altogether we have justly earned the name ‘“THE PEP CLASS.” JOSHES Customer (in book store): ‘‘l want the last word in dictionaries.’ Clerk: “Yes, sir.

They can’t call us lower classmen any more because now we are Juniors. But just wait till we are Seniors—everybody will stand around and gasp. As we pass down the street the people will proudly point to us and say, “There goes the fa- mous Santa Rosa High Scneol Seniors. They ere the ones that will make the world go’ round.” We have found that a school building does not make the school. We have now completed our second year of school in churches and warehouses, but we hope before che third year has passed a new high school will be on its way. How proud we would be if we should be the first class to graduate from the new Santa Rosa High School! Wilma Steiner—President. Jack Carrington—Vice-President. Ester June Vaughn, ‘25. Che Eanle How would you like to sail, Up in the air so blue, And see the winding trail, Upon the mountain view? In the air | sail so high That I float along with ease, What glory to drift in the sky, And look down upon the trees! Smooth I glide o’er the way, With ever a swerve ora tip, Like riding on a moon-lit bay, Adrift in a fairy ship. Till at last I weary of flight, And to the earth descend; Swift as a swallow and silent as night Com-s my journey’s end.

In spite of this disadvantage we have not lessened our effort to make a record for ourselves in scholarship. The few backsliders occupying the mourner’s bench form a small percentage of the class. The average as a whole has been high. We have also something to boast about in atheletics. One of our star players on the football team, Donald Moore, was a member of our class. We were represented on the basketball team by Charles Simonini. At the high school circus some of the stunts put on by the freshmen ad- visory section were the most attractive of all, and also took in the greatest number of tickets. Our reception given in the Annex Gym was a large success. The danc- ing was enjoyed by all, while the gathering around the punch bowl testified to the quality of its contents. The sticks of verdant sweetness passed out to us during the grand march were so delicious that we did not mind the significance of their color. We all believe that if the 1est of our years in high school are as successful as our initial one has been, we will have a record to be proud of when we graduate; and we hope to graduate from a new Santa Rosa High School. We have made our enviable record this year under the guidance of the following officers: President—Markham Noonan. Vice-President—Doris Hamlin. Secretary—Janet Thompson. Girls’ Representative—Helen Walsh. Boys’ Representative—Harry Hooper. THE WAVES The waves dash high on the rugged shore; Then back again to midsea they roar. Now they come, and now they are gone. Thus they play from dawn to dawn. Out of the mist in the sunlight’s glare, See the waves as they leap in the air, Then fall into a flaky foam As out to sea again they roam.

On one side the moon is casting wierd shadows which, when the soft, breeze that springs up now and then, blows, make gruesome shapes and figures that cause chills to creep up and down on one’s spine. The other side of the building, which is only a building in name because it is rather small and not at all modern, is not distinguished on account of the intense darkness. As one enters, a peculiar odor is noticeable. This odor arises from large vats, in which dead bodies are floating about in a brine which preserves them. A few corpses are suspended on the walls dripping, preparatory to their dissection. As one accends a rather frail staircase, one comes to the dissecting room. Here an arm or a leg or even a corpse may be seen lying on a table. On one table is an arm all in shreds which hang limply over the edge. Two students are working on a body over which a bright light is hung. The corpse looks fresh for the skin is still smooth and whiskers can still be de- tected on the face, although it has been in a vat for an indefinite time. On a small island not far distant, the white walls of a prison loom up like a phantom spectre. Here an unknown convict is awaiting the hour of his death. He does not seem restless or even troubled. He stands by the window of his cell, looking out over the dark water at the lights-of the city, thinking of the gayety and merriment going on there. He starts when he hears the footsteps of the warden as he passes the door of his cell. He then turns his head back toward the lights, thinking of his youth and of all the events of his past life. All through the night he stands there motionless. At last a pale light be- gins to appear in the east. It is dawn, and his execution is at sun-rise! He moves from his position, stretches, yawns, and walks to the cell door, looking for the warden. He hears him coming. When he arrives, the convict asks him to prepare a bountiful breakfast, which the convict eats heartily. The sky is rapidly growing lighter. The head warden, with the chap- lain comes to the cell. The convict is led out into the corridor, and a black hood is placed over his head. He is led through a long corridor blindly, and at last into the chamber for the execution. Here he is seated in a chair while the chaplain says a prayer for him. All of the time the convict is silent, and when the chaplain asks him if he has anything to say, he answers, No. No one knew who he was; in fact, no one really cared. As he climbs to the platform, he shows no sign of weakness, but takes his death calmly. At 5:46 a. m. the trap was sprung and at 5:54 a. m. he was announced by the prison physician to be dead. A few hours later two students from the medical university, entered the office of the head warden. They were conducted to a small room adjoin- ing the place of execution. There, on a cot, lay the body of the convict. He was laid on a stretcher and carried to a small launch outside the prison walls. Avain it was night. Two dark figures walked up the steps of the anatomy Gee CiEN© building, carrying a long object between them. Just after the figure dis- appeared through the door, a light appeared on the lower floor. As the students were placing a body on a table, something glittering fell from around its neck. Curicus as to what this might be, one of the students stooped to pick it up. It was a large golden crucifix! All is dark except for the silver patches of moonlight between the wierd shadows which cast gruesome shapes and figures on the side of the build- ing. All is still except for the soft breeze which springs up now and then. The light on the lower floor is out.

Albert Shea, Gere CaO Fate Plays Its Hand It was a rather warm afternoon in the month of May, that Jim Watkins had chosen to drive his oxen one hundred miles across the plains to the small Riverside settlement. But heat meant nothing to Jim Watkins. For hadn't he and his faithful wife Molly with their little five year old son, Bobby, faced the heat and dangers of the desert for three long months in an effort to find that bright metal called gold? No, Jim Watkins search had not been fruitless; for Jim had opened several large pockets of this shining metal, which had netted him somewhere around a hundred thousand dol- lars. Yes, Jim had made good, another three months in that God-forsaken desert might have netted him double that sum. But three more months in the desert might have meant the death of his dear ones, Molly and Bobby. Molly was already showing the effects of the desert life, and Jim knew that one more month in the desert would have meant her death. Without Molly the world would have meant nothing to Jim, so that morning he had taken his belongings and with Molly and Bobby had set out for Riverside. About four o'clock that afternoon Fate played its hand. Jim happened to glance towards the hills in the distance. What he saw made his heart sink within him. For in the exact direction in which he had glanced were to be seen small columns of smoke floating in the air. Every desert dwell- er, man or woman, knew the meaning of those signal fires. They meant Indians, and Indians meant death! It did not take more than one glance into those hills to tell Molly the meaning of Jim’s frightened look. Jim did not think for himself, but fear for Molly and Bobby brought a groan to his parched lips. ‘‘Molly,”’ he cried in a hoarse whisper, “take Bobby and try to get across the desert to Riverside, for they will be upon us in less than an hour, and it is better that one instead of three die.” The sobbing Molly, at first would not listen to him. But finally thoughts of the tortures that would be dealt out to little Bobby if they were captured were too terrifying for her to stand, so when Jim stopped the oxen she clam- bered off with Bobby in her arms. Jim’s next thought was of the gold. Taking the fuur sacks of nuggets and a pick from the wagon, he hurriedly dug a hole in the sand, threw the sack into it, covered them, and seeing a large stone nearby, rolled it over the hole. Then showering the weeping Molly and the tired Bobby with kisses, he jumped into the wagon, whipped up the oxen, and in a little while had disappeared from sight of his dear ones. Two days later, Will Waters, a young mining prospector cxme upor Molly and the baby lying in the sand. Molly was dead, but Bobby greete? him with a sob. The only thing lett to identify the baby was a locket which hung around his neck. Opening the locket, Waters found the picture of Molly and Bobby, and under that of the baby was the name, Bobby Watkins. After Waters had buried Molly, he placed Bobby upon his horse and set out for Riverside. There Waters found a home for Bobby with Mother Shaw, so named by the Riverside folks for her charity to the poor. Fate had indeed played its hand. Fifty years have passed since that fateful day in May, and we find Robert Watkins now an old man, happily married, and the proud father leas Ce of Jerry Watkins, who by the way, was iwenty years of age and redheaded. Now Jerry had always listened eagerly to his fathe. as he told him how he had found him beside the dead body of his mother, And Jerry used to look for minutes at a time at his father’s locket. ‘Father,”’ said Jerry one day as he was again looking at the locket, “‘if only this locket could speak, wouldn't it tell a wonderful story ?”’ “Yes, my son,” replied Mr. Watkins, “‘it certainly would, and I would certainly love to hear it speak.’’ ‘‘But,” finished his father, “‘if you would like to take a week or so vacation and go to the desert that seems to in- terest you so I am willing to pack up and leave tomorrow morning.” “Dad, nothing could please me more,” yelled Jerry as he ran to pack up for the trip. Leaving Riverside the following morning, the two men made their way into the desert, and at night fall we find them far into the wilds. “Jerry,” said Mr. Watkins, as he helped cook their first breakfast of the trip, “‘around this territory was where my mother and | were found.” For several days the two men spent the time in hunting and exploring. One fine morning Jerry awoke quite early, and leaving his sleeping father, set out in an effort to bag some game. After walking for quite awhile and having little or no success in hunting, Jerry began to find the effort tiresome, so coming upon a rock, he seated himself on it and laying his rifle by his side, he proceeded to take from his pocket his father’s locket which he had secured only after much begging on lis part. Now Jerry was never careless when there was a rifle near by, but this morning he was so closely examining the locket that without notic- ing he kicked the rifle with his foot. A second later he was startled nearly out of his wits by the deafening report of the rifle by his side. But he was still more startled when he saw the damage that the bullet had done. The lead had passed clear through the locket that he held in his hand. As he examined the damaged locket, he was surprised to see a small wad of paper drop from it to the ground. Picking it up, he unrolled it and found written on the small sheet: ‘Nuggets under Rock.’ Could it have been that his father’s parents had hidden gold before they died? This and other thoughts passed through Jerry's excited mind as he read the note. But in a moment he laughed at his foolishness. “‘Why there are thousands of rocks in the desert that the gold could have been hidden under,’ laughed Jerry. ‘‘But wouldn't it be great though, if it happened to be under the very rock that I am sitting on?’’ When he had examined the rock and found that it was small enough, he was congratulating himself on his prospects of finding the nuggets. Put- ting his whole weight against the stone, he shoved with all his force. The rock moved about an inch. Another and yet another shove was given be- fore the stone was pushed from it’s resting place. Then Jerry went to work with his hands. In a little while, he had a deep hole dug in the sand. Taking a handful of sand from the hole, he examined it closely and found that it was mixed with small pieces of decayed cloth. Strain- ing the sand through his fingers, he was overjoyed when he found that he ie left two large nuggets. For once Jerry’s imagination proved a help to him. Fate had again played it’s hand, but this time in favor of the Watkins family, Jess Rankin EGE, ESO - ’ lef pa Meredith s First As Mr. Ralston entered the main hall of his home, he stood still for a few moments, listening. Not a sound was to be heard in the large house which usually resounded with the laughter and chatter of children. This evening all was silent. Hark! hat was that? It sounded just as if someone were choking or gasping for breath. Presently there came a trill of laughter. Peal after peal of merriment rang out in to the stillness until stern, business-like Mr. Ralston smiled in spite of himself at his re- flection in the hall mirror. He knew that this laughter came from the room of his sixteen year old daughter, Meredith. To determine the cause of the fun, he stole stealthily up the broad stair- way and stood quietly without the door of Meredith's room. She was still laughing. At last his curiosity got the better of him and he knocked cautiously. As Meredith did not seem to hear him, he opened the door without her permission. He saw Meredith, with her beautiful auburn hair in wavy curls over her shoulders, rocking forth and back in an ecstasy of mirth, on the window seat. In her hand she held a letter which must have been the cause of her merriment, for occasionally as her laughter subsided, she would glance at the letter and commence laughing again. Mr. Ralston advanced toward his oldest child and looked at her with mingled curiosity and sympathy. As Meridith heard her father’s step, she turned to face him. “Oh, Daddy,” she exclaimed, “I have just had the oddest letter, it—” “‘Never mind for a few moments, dear. I want you to inform me as to the whereabouts of the rest of the family. Do you know?” “Well,” began Meredith, “Mother went to a club meeting, and Ken and Len are playing with Bob Jamieson. Art had to stay for football practice. I'm here, as you see.” ‘And indulging in something extremely amusing, it seems,’’ finished her father with mock solemnity. A note of explanation is needed here. Kenneth, nicknamed Ken, aged ten, and Leonard, nicknamed Len, his twin, were active-minded, healthy lads who would rather play markles than eat. Arthur, nicknamed Art, was fifteen years old and tall for his age. He was a Junior in High School, very bright and fond of sports. Meredith had no nickname, save Red, which her teasing brothers sometimes called her. She was not the type to be readily nicknamed, although she, too, was fond of sport and fun. “Meredith, please explain the cause of this unusual explosion of your feelings,’ continued Mr. Ralston, ‘“‘] am actually burning up with curiosity.” “Well, Daddy, do you remember that tall, awkward boy, named Vernon Townsend, that had a summer home on Lake Ontario last summer?” 1 “Do you mean that boy that always had some oily looking stuff on his Eien “Yes, that surely is he, and a vivid description of him too,” she added smilingly. “What on earth has he to do with you? Last summer I noticed he was here quite often, but I thought he came to play with the boys. He al- DEN DU SDR Os) 5 KO’ ways did seem rather kiddish for his age. He will be twenty-three next winter if | remember correctly. Odd, wasn't he?” “Very odd, I'll agree, but you really must hear my letter,” replied Mere- dith. “Go ahead, what does he want, a pension or something?” interrogated Daddy mildly. “Oh, dear no, it’s much worse than that,” she said, “‘It is an actual pro- posal.” “Proposal—proposal? ”’ exploded the very matter of fact Mr. Ralston, ‘Preposterous, absolutely preposterous! Meredith, are you joking?” he demanded as he noted the sly twinkle in her brown eyes. “Just listen patiently,”’ returned Meredith, ‘‘to the whole letter. It cer- tainly struck me as comical. It might not appeal to you in the same way, but I can just see that big awkward, nervous boy; don’t you remember that he always was fidgety? He actually cried a few times when his mother went over to the Sound for a few weeks. Truly. There are a few splotches of something resembling tears on this letter, I'll just bet he cried over this, too. How funny!” “Hurry, Meredith, hurry. The folks will be here soon,” sang Daddy. “ ‘My dear Meredith,’ ’’ she began, ‘ ‘I don’t know whether you recall me or not, but I surely remember you and the swell times we had at your house. How are the boys and yourself? How is Art, anyway? Good old Art, is he still the good looking chap he was last summer? Bright, too; he surely did know everything that I didn’t, but I didn’t know much, either. I don’t think I will be able to come up to your dear city this summer, because Mother has planned a trip to Florida, and of course | have to go along. You surely are lucky. You are not the only darling of the family. ‘l have a request to make of you, which | sincerely hope you'll grant. You know, I have always admired your taste, and | think, if you will par- don my saying it, that you are a perfect peach of a kid. I suppose you are quite a lady by this time. Do you know, Meredith, it may seem odd of me to say it, but I’m awfully fond of you.’ ” “Daddy, there’s a big tear there. How funny!” “ ‘I'm so much older than you, too. Well, as I was saying, | want humbly to beg a request of you. This may seem odd as there are so many years between us, but you really don’t realize, I'm sure, how much | think of you. You are constantly in my thoughts, Meredith, would you believe it? If you could only think of me the same way! ‘l was sincerely hoping that I could come to your graduation next month, but that cannot be, as mother tells me, we sail on the twenty-fifth of this month. But before I go, I am coming to your city for about a half day on business and to buy some new togs for the trip and—My dear Meredith, I am coming to your home and ask you—but how can I| ask you? I have never experienced this peculiar sensation before, but | shall endeavor to write it down, now. As I said before, | have always thought of your taste as excellent and that is why | ask of you, please,—oh, please to for- give me for making this request: Please help me select a new straw hat’.” Rhoda Shurson, 26. THE ECHO An Illusion In disgust | threw down my pen. Where did these short story writers ever get their plots? It seemed to me that all the conceivable plots were captured. Surely there could be no more of them running loose. With a sigh I leaned back in my chair and tried to concentrate on one of the many elusive threads passing before my mind’s eye. A terrible storm was rag- ing outside and its intermittent flashes and peals were too much for my overwrought nerves. Suddenly there came a flash more brilliant than all the rest, and a living, glowing, pulsating body flashed through the win- dow and flew at me. It lifted me bodily from the chair in which I was sitting, and hurled me into space. On | flew, and the stars seemed to rush to meet me, while far below the tempest raged and covered the rain-soaked earth. Then the tension snapped, and | seemed to be falling downward, although the earth still receded. My new sensation was no longer that of rising, but a great deal like that I had always imagined one would feel if falling from the top of the Woolworth Building. On and on I fell, and still the object toward which I must be falling was invisible. | can remember nothing of that flight evcept a deadening fear that | might at any moment crash down upon a concrete sidewalk. It seemed that I had been hurtling through space for years, when gradu- ally I noticed that my rash precipitation was becoming slower, and some- thing seemed to be checking my fall. Strange noises like wailing came to my ears, and above these | distinguished a monotonous, flute-like tune which rose and fell. A phosphorescent gleam shone directly beneath me, and slowly objects began to appear. | preceived a huge pit, from the mid- dle of which projected a large pedestal. It was toward this pedestal that I was falling. The pit appeared to be about one hundred yards wide, and from the smooth, sheer walls rose a thin, greenish vapor that constantly changed its odor. Clouds of vapor so filled the lower part of this pit that I could conceive no idea of its depth. As | have said before, the speed at which I was falling was being gradu- ally checked, and now I seemed to float as a feather above the yawning abyss. Slowly I drew nearer, and although | strained my eyes | could see no signs of plant or animal life. All about me were clouds of steam, that came from nowhere and went nowhere. The phosphorescent light which | had noticed before had now disappeared, but there were still the wailing and the rising and falling of the flute-like tune. Whence it came I know not, except that it came from all sides. Nearer and nearer I descended to this mysterious pit, and a dreadful thought seized me. Was this the entrance to purgatory, and, if so, was I destined to enter into this region of which | had so often been told when a boy? Down, down, down | came. How long would it take me to pass through those clouds beneath me, and what would await me on the other side? Now I reached the tip of the pedestal. My fall was suddenly arrested, and I found myself clinging to the side of the pedestal which I discovered to be as thick as a telephone pole on ay beloved eart!.. There | Ru aae clung, while clammy beads of prespiration covereci my forehead and hands. Wise, PLCISTO) In fear | embraced that round, slippery pole. How long could | stay in this perilous position? What awaited me at the bottom of this pit? Slowly, oh ever so slowly! but surely, I felt myself slipping. Wildly, madly | grasped at the smooth, slimy surface of my only hope of salvation; but my efforts were futile and I found myself falling. The wind roared in my ears, and the clouds rushed up to engulf me. Down through them | fell; and a horrible inky darkness enveloped me. Then a crash! Strangely familiar sounds came to me and slowly I opened my eyes. What should | see in this weird hole into which | had fallen? Something or somebody shook me and a voice said: ‘‘Wake up, sonny, its time to go to bed.” I had fallen asleep. Edwin Boolsan. Conteutment I take my way towards a dale, A well-remembered, sheltered vale, And there in a secluded nook I spend my time beside a brook. Down by the gently flowing brook, If in my hands there in a book, I can in full contentment stay, Awaiting in silence the end of day. I listen to the distant cooing Of the doves who are a-wooing; And if in silence now I| hark I can hear the song of a Meadow Lark. Then from the distant mountain peak There comes the sound of the eagle shriek, As from her aerie high and bold She scans the world as a knight of old. And as the sunset beauty fades, From out the east comes deepening shades, Where day, reluctant, takes her flight Before the swift approach of night. Robert H.

Eis SE CO Muutawn, Italy Montauro, in English, is Mountain Tower, and truly it is a mountain tower. Situated on the very highest pcint of a mountain, the village over- looks the Mediterranean five miles away. From the village on the moun- tain top, what a wonderful sight it is to see the big, red, glowing sun sink into the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean at sunset! To reach Montauro from the railroad station, it is necessary to walk four miles a crooked road which winds around and around like a giant snake. Montauro consists of a few houses made of rocks and cement mixed to gether; two shops that sell liquor; a shop that supplies the village with furniture; a church; an old structure which is used as a factory for making olive oil; and a few narrow, crooked streets, which at the most are but a hundred yards long. There are no lighting, no gas, no water systems in the village. There is a fountain where the women obtain water to drink and to use in washing clothes. They go to the fountain with large vases and clay jars, which they fill with water and carry on their heads. It is surprising to see them carry such great weights daily. The houses are lighted up with candles and coal oil lamps, but only infrequently is a light seen in the houses at night. The reason for this is that the people are very economical. The houses are rudely built and are very unattractive. They usually have one door for an entrance and pos- sibly a window or two for light and air. Most are very scantily furnished, having in them only a table, a bed or two, and a few chairs. The stoves in these houses are very primitive, being made of brick and built against a stone wall inside the houses. Such a stove is square in shape and has for its chimney a hole in the roof. The houses are for he most part two stories high, and ordinarily there is but one room in each story, The rough, un- even streets are payed with cobblestones. From the size of the village, a person would scarcely believe it has over two hundred inhabitants, but in reality it has over twelve hundred people. The people live by cultivating small pieces of land and raising small crops. The majority of the inhabitants of Montauro are related to each other, through frequently the relationship is very distant. As money is very scarce the people of Montauro do much bartering. Although the people of Montauro are very poor, they are kindhearted. Many old people live to the age of ninety and sometimes longer. Notwith- standing their age, these old people work very hard and, even though they eat very meagerly, they are in good health as long as they have their bread and their wine. Not having any board of health and not having a scavenger system the people throw what little refuse they have into the streets for their pigs. The pigs make it their business to go from house to house devouring what they can find outside the houses on the street. A pig in America has not one-tenth the freedom of a pig in Montauro. There the pig has a right to go in his master’s house whenever he pleases, without being abused. When they go around scavengering, they keep the streets as clean as could be wished by the inhabitants, and take very well the position of a scavenge! TEV E GE© man. Montauro affords a view of the land surrounding it for miles and miles On the mountains and in the valleys as far as the eye may reach can be seen olive trees. From these orchards is produced the very finest olive oil in the world. The trees are not given much care, but they bear very fine olives. It seems almost impossible that trees can grow where these trees grow.

FRENCH, ‘23 In 1876 there was organized in Santa Rosa, a high school, located on Fourth Street in the Fremont Grammar School building, where it occupied three rooms. The first graduating class received diplomas in 1878, having completed a two year course. The class was composed of ten members. As the course was then changed from a two to a three-year, the second graduating class, having seven members, graduated in 1880. During the spring term of 1881 the school was discontinued through lack of necessary funds. In the fall of 1882 the school was again reorganized; but as one year had been lost, there was no graduating class for the year 1882. However, each year since then has seen a graduating class. Until 1893 there were but three teachers, but in the fall of 1893 a fourth teacher was added to the faculty. The enrollment then numbered seventy- five. In September, 1895, school opened in the new high school building. Santa Rosa was justly proud of its newly completed high school building. It was then considered one of the model buildings of the State of California. With the opening of school in this new building, a number of new courses were introduced. Previous to 1895, physics and chemistry were taught from the texts, with scarcely any laboratory work. But good laboratories were now available; biology, physiology, botany, French, German, com- mercial geography, drawing, solid geometry, trigonometry, and economics were added to the curriculum. About two hundred and fifty young ladies and gentelme n came to school on that bright September morning, and were proud to be able to enter their names as members of the Santa Rosa High School. The faculty was not very large. Dr. Frederick Burke, now of the State Teachers’ College of San Francisco, was principal. Mr. E. Morris Cox, now teaching in Oak- land, who followed Dr. Burke as principal in 1896, was vice-principal and teacher of history. Miss Elsie Shelby, now wife of Professor Harold Heath of Stanford, taught biological science. Mr. Abshire taught physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Miss Margareta May taught German; Miss Reed, French; and Miss O'Meara taught English. This then, was the faculty that greeted the two hundred and fifty students as they came to school that morning. The school at that time entered into two atheletic sports, football and track. In their first track meet, Santa Rosa won, receiving as a prize a pennant and a silver cup. Later other athletic sports were engaged in. Baseball and basketball were added to the school’s athletic role The girls, also, had a splendid basketball team. In those days the Associated Student Body was not as yet organized. But an organization called the High School Congress took its place. This TELE 2 Cd.O body was run on the same principle as the Congress of the United States ot America. It was divided into the iwo branches, the Senate and the House. Ali the students were members of the House, while only a pari of them were members of the Senate. After a time the Senate was discon- tinued as being impractical. |he Speaker of the House was the principal, Mr. Cox. ‘lhe Congress met in much the same way as does the Student Body today in her assemblies. [his Student Congress was conducted strictly according to parliamentary regulations; bills were introduced and held over tor the second and third readings, were referred to committees, and then opened for debate in the House, just as bills are treated by the Con- gress of the United States of America. This method of procedure created such an interest in debating that finally, in 1908, a Debating Society was organized. There being similar societies in other schools, a league was organized. Then some ‘ime later a silver cup was presented the school and on this cup each year was engraved the name of the winning debator of the school. The students always took an active interest in Community affairs, and especially in the “Rose Carnival,’ an annual affair. In 1896 the high school was awarded two first prizes on the float entered in the parade. The prizes obtained were a silver cup, and cash amounting to forty dollars. With the latter they bought some pictures, which, sad to reijate, were all burned with the school in 1921. The old bell is also worthy of our notice. It was formerly the fire bell, and when the new building was built the old bell was installed. For many years it was used to call the students to their classes and to announce the end of the period. Then the old bell was supplanted by the modern elec- tric bell. But the victory of the electric bell over the musical old bell was not complete, for at times th electric bells failed to respond, and then the old bell, ever faithful, was called on to do its dui:y once more, and it never failed to respond. When the building burned the beautiful peal of the old bell died forever, for it fell to the cement below and was shattered to bits. Some of the high school students now have pieces of the old bell in their homes, and at least one piece was turned in to the office. So the old bell is still doing its duty in another way in various homes, reminding peo- ple of happy days gone by, days spent in the Santa Rosa High School. And, as this old bell called the students day after day, there came a time when they responded to its call no more; the time of graduation. This al- ways was, and always will be, a time of great rejoicing. This great event, Commencement, always took place in the old study hall, and what a glori- ous study hall it was,—so beautifully arrayed with flowers and greenery. The class of 1909 started a new custom, making an addition to the Commencement program. They gave the first senior play. Their play was a parody on the ‘Merchant of Venice.’ The class of 1910 gave Gold- smith’s “She Stoops to Conquer.’ Another class gave “Sherwood” on the banks of the Santa Rosa Creek. The play was enacted on one bank, while the audience sat on the other bank. Mary Austin’s ““The Arrow Maker,’ an Indian play, was presented in Grace Brothers Park as a senior play. Other classes gave Shakespearian plays on the high school campus, plays such as “‘“A Midsummers Night’s Dream,” “‘As You Like It,’ and “The Tempest.’’ The class of 1922 staged ‘Rose of Trelawney” at the Cline Theater, and the class of 1923 presented “Prunella” on the high school ils gla he) b ieee ores an intereshag study. It was called I it by individual ees Then in pe spri term er 1908 the Associated Student Body was organized. rg 1e body it was deemed advis- able for the Student Body to have a newspaper entirely under its own di- rection and ownership, so that the :noney ob tion should enter the coffers of the Student ed from the same publica- It was suggested that the Student Body purchase the pos cane but as the ow-er and the a Rp Be an entirely new paper was formed. It was decided that the new paper should be a monthly edition. c But then came the question of a name. After some discussion it was de- cided that each member of the Student Body should suggest a name; then a committee would cull over the names, and sel lect a few which were to be voted upon by the members of the Student Body. The name chosen was “The Echo’? which name continues to the present date. This title was submitted by Angelina Ward, and she received as a prize, one years cub- scription to The Echo. The first editor of The Echo was Miss Alice Letold, 710, now wife of Lieutenant Hastings of the U. S. Navy. The class of June 05 introduced a sp plendid custom which continues to date: the graduating class presents to the school some token by which it maybe remembered by the school. The class of June ‘05 introduced the custom by presenting the “Fighting Gladiator.” The class of Christmas ‘06 presented the statue of ““Wenus de Milo.” The class of June °07 presented the bust of Longfellow. The Christmas class of '07 presented the cast of “Nike the Winged Vic- tory. The class of June 08 presented the school with a picture of Santa Rosa’s world-famed citizen, Luther Burbank. The class of Christmas '09, being historically inclined presented the bust of Abraham Lincoln. The class of June 10, being similarly inclined, presented the bust of George eee The class of June ’11, reviewing the atheletic success of the school, pre- sented the school with a much-needed trophy cabinet. The classes in those days had, each its own class song, and poem, writ- ten by some member of the class. An organization known as the Teachers’ Club did a great deal for the students by furnishing interesting assemblies through the efforts of this Club. Many outside speakers were obtained for the assemblies. Jacob Riis at one time visited the school. As time passed, the school grew until the building accommodations be- came inadequate, so a bond issue was voted upon, for the construction of an annex. It is said that this bond issue carried by a majority of but seven votes. But on the strength of this majority, in 1912 the Annex was con- structed. With ccmpletion of this building, manual training, domestic science, and art were introduced as new courses. It was in February of 1914 that the Athletic League decided to eliminate from the track meet one of the events formerly held, the hammer throw. © On May 31, 1914, Luther Burb: presented to the high school a picture machine.

He cannot go to the Christmas celebration at the cathedral. It is expected that the holy bell, up above the clouds, will ring, and the Christ will come. The old woman weaves a sort of spell around Holger, and the cottage walls fade and the interior of the cathedral appears. Noblemen, padres, peasants, kings, all bring their gifts, but in vain. The chimes do not ring. The old woman bids Holger take up his gift, two pennies. The chimes ring. An angel appears and tells Holger that neither gold nor silver, but love and sacrifice pleases the Christ. Holger has taken in one of his brethren and therefore has done the same unto him. Many thanks are due to Miss Cochrane who took care of the music, and to Miss Field who so ably coached the play.

THE ECHO Seninr Play “Prunella,” the Senior Play, was given June 19, 1923 on the lawn at the annex. The costumes, scenery and lighting effects were all worth see- ing, even if the beautiful story of Prunella were omitted. Prunella, a young, innocent girl has been very strictly reared by her three old maid aunts. Pierrot and a band of mummers bring love and happiness into Prunella’s life. Pierrot persuades her to elope with him. Love advises her to do so. Three years elapse and the mummers and Pierrot return to Prunella’s garden in search of her. Prunella also returns but the mummers do not recognize her. Love hides her. Later Pierrot recognizes her and they are happily re-united. The success of the play is largely due to Miss Mott, the coach, Miss Cochrane, director of the music, and Mr. Armand Saare, the stage manager and electrician.

Besides appreciating her wonderful understanding of music, the girls are more than grateful to her for the good moral talks she wedges in with the music work. The number enrolled in the chorus increases with the age of the organiza- tion. This year the number climbed up to seventy-five. Not only has the enrollment increased, but also has the quality of the chorus. The big uaprovement made in the last term has been in diction. Large strides have also been made in learning of the present musical artists and their work in the musical world. Greater cooperation has been secured among the girls, it is thought, by the formation of the girls’ chorus into the Philomel Club. The organiza- tion was formed at the beginning of the term; officers were elected; com- mittees were formed; and meetings were held during the period, when nec- essary. The organization has decided problems by voting, thereby taking some of the responsibility from Miss Cochrane, and has also always sent some remembrance to the members who were ill. Not enough credit can be given the boys’ and girls’ chorus for their overwhelming success in the “Lass of Limerick Town’’—the operetta given during the past term. The girls’ chorus has also crowned itself with glory when it sang before the Parent Teachers Association, the Rotary Club, the Lions’ Club, the Masons, and the Saturday Afternoon Club. The help given by the girls’ chorus in the rally singing in assembly likewise de- serves worthy mention. Each girl of the chorus deserves special mention, but space does not permit. Maurine Boone, president of the Philomel Club, however, as ac- companist, has with her fine knowledge of music given them her intelligent support at all times. “Bogg's wife is home from the country.” “How do you know?” “Tried to phone him six times and the phone was busy every time.” Dials Wee 1B (Calg MO “ot BETH WINTER Margaret Doggett Clarice Collister MARY BONAR President Treasurer Secretary Vice-President Cle Girls’ League Whenever an organization like our Girls’ League becomes sufficiently well known to attract attention there are always two questions asked about it: What is its purpose? What is it doing? The main purpose is service to the community, to the school, and to our fellow members. Each girl is put in one of the four departments, so that she may be easily accessible. Under present conditions it has been very dil ficult for the girls to become acquainted. This difficulty has been reme- died by having some social activities restricted to girls alone. What has been done this year? At each monthly meeting a splendid program has been enjoyed. The Senior Sister System has been a real help to the freshmen girls who are entering the school at this very unsettled time. Each girl in the senior class is given one or two freshmen girls to help. The flower committee has done excellent work in supplying the offices and the study hall with the flowers in season. Should you lose your foun- tain pen, an important book, or your vanity box, apply to the Lost and Found Department, located in the school library. At Christmas time the Girls’ League sent greeting cards to every one connected with the school the owners of our borrowed buildings, the Board of Education, the superin- tendent, the principal, all the teachers, and the janitors. The cards were monogrammed by hand, and an original verse by Velma Burke conveyed the good wishes. The sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, under the aus- pices of the Girls’ League, was a decided success. At the end of football season the Girls’ League gave the team a banquet. ALIS UE ol eel Golg MC, The Art Department made minature footballs for place cards, and the Do- mestic Science Department cooked the turkey dinner. The affair was al- together successful. In the fall semester a new feature was introduced into the girls’ social activities, in the form of a “‘Little Kids’ Party.’’ Then in the spring semes- ter the annual Jinx was an unusual success, more than two hundred girls being in attendance. An advisory board to the Cabinet has been formed. ‘This consists of two representatives from each class and one from each of the departments. Its duties are to help and sanction the work of the Cabinet. Until just recently the Girls’ League has had no means of support aside from the money the girls have earned through the sale of oranges and black pom-pons, rosettes of class colors, and through the managing of the Circus dance. Now they will be apportioned ten per cent of all the Associated Student Body funds. The officers this year have had a very trying situation to contend with. Miss Hazel Fisher, we regret to say, left at the end of last year. The new Vice-principal, Miss Docia Patchett, was seriously injured during the sum- mer, so was not able to take up her work. Mrs. Giddings had just gotten the work started when she had to leave the girls to carry on alone. Miss Struckmeyer has now been appointed to the Vice-principalship and is giv- ing us her very efficient aid. Enough cannot be said in praise of the offi- cers for the way in which they have carried on their work. The retiring officers are: President Beth Winter Vice-President Mary Bonar Secretary Margaret Doggett Treasurer t Clarice Collister We cordially welcome and assure our heartiest support to our officers for the coming year: President Edyth Bell Vice-President Henrietta Hahman DS ECrELATYoeeec- percent eaten Elaine Badger Treasurer Pauline Sullivan “The Parnassus Society will meet tonight.” This is a familiar announcement and one that is often heard around the classrooms. To some siudents it means practically nothing, but by mem- bers it is hailed with joy, as it brings the happy thought of spending anothe: delightful evening in an instructing and interesting way. Just what is the Parnassus Society? We hear this question asked around school very often. The Parnassus Society is a society the purpose of which is to increase and raise the standard of literary work in the school. What do they do? is another common question. We meet every two weeks and either have reports or discussion on some American author, or listen to some educational speaker. During the last year we have taken up and reported on the following American authors: Mark Twain, James Fennimore Cooper, Washington Irving, and Oliver Wendall Holmes. We have also had some interesting and broadening travelogues by Dr. Yates, who spoke on Ireland; Mr. Elkins, who spoke on Panama; Miss Deruchie. who spoke on Mexico, and Mrs. Carrier, who spoke on Turkey. Last year we enjoyed an elaborate Christmas party. We had a splendid supper early in the evening during which responses were made to toasts to Parnassus, its Name, its Aim, and its Fame. After the supper we danced in the gymnasium, and were visited by Santa Claus, who brought presents for all. During the last year we have completely remodled our constitution. The requirements for membership now are: an average iwo grade in all subjects; more than the average ability in English work, or exceptional ability along some artistic line. Even though our standards for membership have been raised, during the past year’ our membership had greatly increased. We hope to retain our position as leading organization of the Santa Rosa High School, and to have the student body see and hear more of us.

The classes were held in the physics laboratories and recitation rooms. At this time three courses were offered—Agronomy, Farm Mathematics, and Project. After the high school was destroyed, classes were held temporarily in the Armory hall. As soon as a permanent place was secured, the Mailer Warehouse—Work began on the construction of classrooms. Two rooms were built at first, and later two more and an office were added. In two years the agricultural faculty has increased from one to three teachers; they are: Mr. Everett, Mr. Patchett, and Miss Deruchie. At the beginning of this spring semester there were nine courses offered—Animal Husbandry, two years of Mathematics, Horticulture, two years of Mechanics, two years of English and Project. Fifty-five students are enrolled at the present time, and it is expected that this number will be increased next fall. The Agricultural Department offers many attractions to students who are interested in agriculture and in making the best of their high school years. Among the activities are: live stock judging, apple judging, poultry judg- ing, basketball and baseball. The boys accomplish projects and give parties and dances through the Junior Farm Center, of which each is a member. The “Prune Whip” is the agricultural paper. The department has ex- pended its greatest effort to make it an interesting, attractive, and educa- tional paper. JUNIOR FARM CENTER The Junior Farm Center is an organization in the Agricultural Depart- ment through which the members of the department get together in order to promotes agriculture and athletics. The officers of this year were as follows: President, Joseph Cuneo; Vice-president, Barak Wright; Secretary, Donald Weatherington; Treasurer, Melvin Ward. Besides the beneficial and social advantages within its own unit the Junior Farm Center offers competition among other organizations of the same kind in other agricultural departments of the county and state. The members of the Junior Farm Center have placed themselves under the government of the Student Council of the Agricutural Department. The object of this governing board is to help the students to help them- selves. The Council of the Agricultural Devartment is composed of stu- dents, two Seniors, and one member chosen from each of the other classes. The Junior Farm Center takes up activities in all phases. In the educa- tional line, the ‘“‘Prune Whip’’ and debating comes first. In athletics, the Farm Center has won the championship of Sonoma County in basketball and baseball. In the agricultural line, the big horticulture show and the judging contests have been a success. Contributions are written each month for the Farm Bureau Monthly. A prize has been offered to the Junior Farm Center, in Sonoma County which IMEHS. JAE US, contributes the best arvicies to the mony. Articles are judged by regu- larity, quality and quantity. Santa Kosa is in the lead. JUDGING The judging teams have attended six tairs, winning two silver cups, three pennants, and fifteen ribbons. One cup was won at the State Fair for the state championship judging of dairy cattle. Lighteen other schools par- ticipated. The other cup was won at the First Western Sonoma-Marin County Livestock Show, tor the judging of dairy cattle. The Horticulture judging team won first place at Berkeley at the First Annual Fruit Judging Contest of the University of California. Those on the team were: Donald Cordray, Orin Ketcham, and Charles Borden. The Livestock Judging team wes composed of: William Braun, Donald Cordray, and Donald Weatherington. It is proposed that next year orchard judging be introduced as several other schools in the state have taken up this new line. AGGIE SOCIAL EVENTS CHRISTMAS PARTY—A Christmas tree party was given on December 14 by the agg classes. It was attended by all the students of the Agg De- partment. A good time was enjoyed by all. The program consisted of entertainment and eats. Gifts were given to each one present. FRESHMEN RECEPTION—A party was held by the agg class in order to initiate the iiew members into the department. The freshies all turned out. Games, songs, and contests were the features of the evening, but the biggest feature of all was EATS, provided by members of the Agg Department. HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT—The Horticultural Exhibit was put on by the Agg students only. It consisted of all varieties of fruits and vege- tables, many of which were grown by the agg students. Many prominent citizens of Santa Rosa gave talks including: Mr. Cross and Mr. Barker. Professor Griffin, Professor Lillard, and Professor Crandall of the University of California gave instructive talks. The parents of the students were in- vited, and many attended. A program was given and refreshments were served. CIRCUS—The agg class put on three stunts at the high school circus, which proved very successful. The stunts were: ducking pond, guessing contest, and hot dog stand. The ducking pond drew the largest crowd and was the biggest money making stunt of the circus. About thirty-five dollars was realized on this particular concession. THE AGGIES PRUNE WHIP The “Prune Whip”’ is just concluding its second year of success, fifteen editions having been published. The last edition was a marked improve- ment over the first, to the extent that it may be termed a really successful agricultural journal. The staff has endeavored to make each issue com- plete in every department—news, essays, sports, and jokes. A paper that 1s too serious does not take well in high school; in other words, it does not appeal to youth. The essay department has always been interesting and instructive, dealing in all branches of agriculture. The staff of the ‘Prune Whip” this year was as follows: Editor, Don- ald Dale; Assistant editor, Joseph Cuneo; Sports, Charles Belden; Jokes, Burhl French; Features, Donald Cordray; Managers, Feliz and Braun.

THE FRESHMEN RECEPTION The Freshmen of the fall term were the guests of the upper classmen ai a reception given in their honor on October twenty-eighth. A large number of students attended, making the affair a big success. The gymnasium was very appropriately decorated in freshmen colors, green and white. A committee had also prepared bouquets of white car- nations and ferns for the “‘green’’ teachers. This occasion served for them to make their formal bow to the social life of the school. The Student Body President, John Parmeter, made the welcoming ad- dress to the class, while Markham Noonan responded for the Freshmen. The Freshmen provided the usual entertainment of the evening by doing the Grand March. They were persuaded to do so only when Edith McGuire offered them a nice all-day sucker at the end. Good music was also provid ed, as dancing was the chief diversion of the evening. THE “LITTLE KID” PARTY Soon after the term began, the Girls’ League planned a party, to help the new girls and old girls become acquainted. A costume party was decided upon, because it helped to “break the ice,”’ as it were. The decorating committee was rewarded for its afternoon of labor, by the complete transformation of the gymnasium into a delightful scheme of autumn leaves, streamers, and multi-colored balloons. Refreshments for the affair had also been very cleverly worked out. What “‘little kid’ is not blissfully happy with an ice cream cone and animal cookies? Punch was also served, as dancing occupied the greater part of the evening. The patronesses for the evening were: Mrs. Jerome Cross, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. Emmett Seawell, Mrs. Gus Wright, and Mrs. Phil Alexanderson. THE FOOTBALL BANQUET On Friday, December nineteenth, the Girls’ League entertained the mem- bers of the football team, at a turkey dinner. The affair was managed by Margaret Doggett, secretary of the League, and Lucile Fulwider, chairman for the event. Mr. Jerome Cross acted as toastmaster for the evening. The speakers were: Mr. Hillard Comstock, E. H. Barker, Finlaw Geary, F. A. Betts, Bernard Noonan, captain of the team, and Gayle Johnson, who is to captain next year s team. Miss Maurine Boone played a number of piano solos which the boys en- joyed. The decorations of black and orange in the dining room, and the ap- propriate place cards, minature footballs, were most effective. Gas Bal- loons also floated from the table. This opportunity will be taken to thank Mrs. Waters of the Art Depart- ment, and Mrs. Merrill of the Cooking Department for their valuable assist- ance in making the banquet a success. n re ae CO PARNASSUS PARTY The Parnassus Literary Society gave a dinner dance on Tuesday, Decem- ber nineteenth. A few outside guests were invited. Miss Mott and the President, John Parmeter, arranged the affair, which was a most delightful one. After the dinner, served in the music room, the guests adjourned to the gymnasium where a Christmas tree had been prepared. Roland Hudson, acting as “Old Santa,’’ distributed the presents among the guests. The rest of the evening was enjoyed in dancing. Among the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Cross, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Barker, Mr. Hillard Comstock, Mrs. Yost, and Mr. Betts. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The seniors entertained in honor of the juniors on Friday, February third. Everything possible was done to make the party the biggest and best of the year. The decorating committee, under supervision of Armand Saare, made the gymnasium into a most attractive place. The hall was a forest of greenery. At one end glowed a large electric twenty-three, in the senior colors, pink and grey, while at the other end the junior colors, blue and gold, were arranged into a twenty-four. The entertainment for the evening was divided between the radio con- cert in the music room and dancing in the gymnasium. ‘The seniors greatly .ppreciated Armand Saare’s kindness in lending and installing the radio set, and in arranging the electric figures and the elaborate lights in the yymnasium. Patrons and patronesses for the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. W. Von illow, Mr. and Mrs. John Plover, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Gale, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Oakes. SPRING FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshman reception for the spring term turned out to be a tremen- dous success. The party was planned by Miss Struckmeyer and John Par- meter. The freshmen colors were carried out in the decorating. Good music was furnished by Hewitt’s Jazz Orchestra. A couple of stunts and a few numbers by the Boys’ Quartette, to say nothing of the freshmen parade, were given in way of entertainment. John Parmeter, the student body president, welcomed the new class. Patrons and Patroness were: Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Leppo, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome O. Cross, Mrs. Yost, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Everett. THE GIRLS’ HIGH JINX The Girls’ League held the annual Girls’ Jinx on the evening of April sixth. The party was a splendid success. They always are. Every kind of costume was on display in the artistically decorated gym- nasium and the judges found it a most difficult task to select the prize win- iers. The prize for the most original costume went to grandma's knitting asket; the two Japanese girls, in their native costumes, captured the prize or the most artistic costume; while Mabel Wiggins, as a jester, received the prize for the best-sustained character. The best feature of the party was the fact that Bella (Hortense) Haynie Was among us again. Bella, who has been attending school in Oakland, EG Ei Can has been greatly missed by this school. With Daisy Graham at the piano excellent music was enjoyed by the merry dancers. Refreshments and punch were served during the evening. SENIOR-JUNIOR PROM The seniors on Friday, May fourth, were the guests of honor at a dancing party arranged by the juniors. A large number of seniors attended, and the party was a happy one, to be remembered by all. The senior and junior colors shone out well in the decorating scheme, while the music was unusually good. Those who assisted in making the party a success were: George Jarboe, President of the Junior Class, and Miss Struckmeyer, Miss Mott, Melville Devoto, Marda Leppo, and Clark Davis. JUNIOR COLLEGE RECEPTION The Junior College also entertained in honor of the seniors of Sonoma County. This enjoyable party was planned by Ernest Baer and Joel Mal- lory. The decorations were a work of art. From the balconies which were filled with oak boughs arranged in a woodland effect hung streamers of the college colors and seniors’ colors interwoven. On the sides large bas- kets of lupins were placed. Floor lamps added much to the general at tractiveness. The good punch served was another feature of the evening. The best music available was supplied, to the keen delight of the dancers. The party was one of the best of the season. CAST DANCE The music students, after their hard but successful work, held an evening of frolic. The affair was a dancing party at the Saturday Afternoon Club House. Miss Cochrane, whose gracious entertaining is well known, had charge of the party. Bill Cowan succeeded in getting splendid music from the University of California campus’ The blue lighting effect with the masses of yellow broom made a most artistic appearance. Tasty punch was also served to the dancers. Among the boys who assisted Miss Cochrane in making this such a suc- cess were: Bill Cowan, Ralph Devoto, Ellie Barnett, Harvey Sullivan, and Edward Peterson. die) PS) ACG io) PEE Gr O HFunthall By FRANK.GRACE The team of 22 had to be built up of practically new material, especially in the back field. Nine games were played, the Orange and Black winning six, playing a tie with INapa for the second consecutive year. In the Napa game it could be seen that we were the best team on the field, but when the men got within scoring distance they lost their pep and couldn't put over the pig- skin tor a touchdown. in losing the game we lost the chance for the title of North-West League which we had heid for the two previous years. [he veterans on the team were: In the line—Everett, Homan, Ward, Ratcliffe, McCormick, Nitzke, Parmeter, H. Noonan; Backfield—Captain Grog Noonan, Johnson, Moore. he rest of the backfield and line con- sisted of new material, who were: V. Adams, Smith, B. Bean, F. Feliz, and J. Plover. Preliminary Season The first call for football practice resulted in a showing that would make any coach confident that he could put out a winning football team. Over fifty men were out the first day, but as these could not be taken care of, the squad was cut to about twenty-five during the week, and the team got its stride. The second team deserves a great deal of credit for the way in which they were out every night to put the first team in the best of shape. “Monk’’ Richardson deserves a great deal of credit for the way he handled the second squad. The squad was soon put to tackling the dummy, falling on the ball, kick- ing and charging, in preparation for the first practice game with Richmond. After a practice of about a week and a half we played our first game. S. R. H. S.—6 Richmond—0 The first practice game of the year was held on our field, against our old rivals, Richmond High. The two previous years we had played Rich- mond and had split the games, so there was naturally a great deal of rivalry to see who would take the odd game. Richmond had played football for four weeks and had played several games. Our squad was made up of en- experienced players, who nevertheless, put up the best brand of football. The first quarter was a series of line bucks by each team, with no decided advantage. The ball was in the Orange and Black’s possession at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter the work of the teams was ragged because of the intense heat, and with our fellows, the lack of con- dition. The half ended with ball on the Santa Rosa territory. Between halves Coach Kirksey gave the fellows encouragement and put the old fighting spirit into them. Santa Rosa High will have to hunt a long time before it finds a man like Morris M. Kirksey—after one days practice the fellows were all for him. Because of his interest in each fel- low personally. The second half started with a rush and before Richmond knew where they were we had swept them off their feet and were within scoring dis- EEE CEO tance. A criss-cross pass, Noonan to Johnson, worked perfectly, and we had our first and only score of the game. Richmond tightened up, and for the rest of the game it was first one side and then the other in possession of the ball. Those playing in this game were: B. Noonan (q), Johnson L. H., Moore R. H., Adams F., Ward, Epperson, Everett, Ratcliffe, Nitzke, Par- meter, Bean, Homan, Griffin, McCormick, Farley, H. Noonan, and E. Corrigan. Sauter Si—— Jr. College—0O The second practice game was played with the S. R. Jr. College. The game had many thrills. At the start it could readily be seen that the High School would win by a good margin. The first quarter started with line bucking, and good yardage was made in this way. But it was soon seen that an aerial game would be better for the teams, as the Junior College had no defense for this style of play. The squad had several good, new plays and wanted to use them, so they stuck to line plays. The first touchdown came early in the first quarter when Val Adams went around the college left end and scored after a pretty 30 yard run. In the second quarter Johnson and Moore went for scores, and the half ended with the score of 21-0, In the second half all the second squad were given a chance to get their idea of what a game of football really is. The squad was run by Richard- son who succeeded in holding the collegians from scoring. The Jr. Col- lege bucked down to business and started down the field and were not far from scoring when the quarter ended. The first squad was then sent in to keep the opponents in check, but the best they could do was to keep them from scoring, and the game ended 27 to 0. Don Moore making the last score of the day. The team that started: B. Noonan q., Moore r. H., Johnson I. h Adams f., Ratcliffe r. e., Everett 1. t., Bean 1. g., Parmeter c., Homan r. t., Nitzke 1. e., Ward r. g. ” S. R. H. S.—6 H. M. A.—20 The game with the Hitchcock Military Academy was a hard game to lose because of the breaks against us at times when they counted. The work of the team the day we played Hitchcock was certainly a brand of football we were not used to putting up, and with everything in favor of Hitchcock we were naturally beaten. The recovery of the fumbles made by the Orange and Black had a great deal to do with the defeat. The first quarter was a series of line bucks that netted the Hitchcock team a touchdown in the latter part of the first quarter. The teams then alter- nated back and forth until the end of the quarter. In the second quarter Hitchcock kicked off to Santa Rosa, and Santa Rosa fumbled which was recovered by the Academy. After the recovery the Military Academy scored again on an end run. After this touchdown the team got into its proper stride and within two minutes after the kick- off scored a touchdown. The half ended with the score 13-6. At the kick-off the ball went to Moore, who went ten yards before he was downed. The Orange and Black squad then went to work and car- ried the ball to the fifteen yard line, and here lost it on a fumble. Hitch- cock punted the ball back into their territory. Moore recovered the pig- THE ECHO skin, but to no advantage as he was downed in his tracks. The game then consisted of an exchange of punts and line bucks that netted nothing. The quarter ended with the ball in posssession of Santa Rosa. In the fourth quarter it began to look as if Santa Rosa were going to come back but it was not to be as the team seemed to have the habit of fumbling at critical moments. Hitchcock again recovered the fumble and went forty yards to a touchdown. The game ended with the score in favor of Hitchcock but our fellows were not beaten in spirit. Line up as follows: Ratcliffe 1. e., Everett |. t., Bean |. g., Parmeter c., Ward r. g., Homan, r. t., Nitzke r. e., —-Backs: Noonan q., Moore r. h. Johnson |. h., Adams f. b. Ss. R. H. S.—0 San Rafael—-6 Our first league game was played with San Rafael on their field during the week’s vacation. The team had had no practice, so we were naturally beaten, also because several of the team were in poor condition and un- able to make the trip. The game was hard fought throughout by our fellows, but we were beaten late in the game by a long run by a San Rafael back. We later defeated teams that had won from San Rafael by large margins, this shows there is nothing in a score. The work of Homan and Ratcliffe on the line needs special mention, in the back field Don Moore was a consistent yard gainer. The players were: Ratcliffe |. e., Everett |. t., Bean |. g., Parmeter c., Ward r. g., Homan r. t., Nitzke r. e., Backs: Noonan q., Moore r. h., John- son |. h., Feliz f. Adams for Feliz, H. Noonan for Nitzke, Epperson for Ward, Griffin for Everett. S. R. H. S.—0O Napa—0O Our second league game was with Napa on our field. It was our luck to have to play the strongest team in the league at the first of the season. Napa had not been defeated up to this time, while we had suffered two defeats. The team hadn't seemed to hit its stride. The 7-7 tie of the year before brought back memories to the veterans of the squad, and they were more than hopeful that revenge would be Santa Rosa's. Capt, Noonan won the toss and received. The ball was caught on the twenty yard line and was carried back twenty yards before downed. Then began a triumphant march down the field, our men making downs time after time. The ball was lost on a fumble on our ten yard line and Nava punted back into safe territory. Again the march was resumed, but after making first down the Napa team tightened up and held for four downs, thereby getting the ball. The defense was like a stone wall, Lyle Everett and Bean doing effective work around center, and Ratcliffe and Homan doing won- derful work in their respective positions. The half ended with the ball in possession of the Santa Rosa team on the twenty-five vard line. The second half was the same as the first. taking the ball down to within scorine distance and then losing it by a fumble, Napa made first downs once during the game, this shows the effective work of our defense. This came should certainly have been won bv Santa Rosa. the team seemed to lack punch in a pinch. The same ended with the ball in possession of Santa Rosa High on their five yard Ine. PPE-E CHO The players were: Ratcliffe |. e., Everett |. t., Bean 1. g., Parmeter c., Ward r. g., Homan r. t., Nitzke r. e., Backs: Noonan q., Moore r. h., John- son l. h., Feliz f. Adams for Feliz, H. Noonan for Nitzke. Sa Rei SS Petaluma—6 The next league game was played with Petaluma, at Petaluma. The Petaluma team was one to be afraid of because of their superior weight, but soon after the first whistle it was readily seen that Santa Rosa had the superior teamwork and was putting it all over Petaluma in the mysteries of good football. Petaluma kicked off, the ball going to Moore, who ran it back fifteen yards. The teams started down the field in a series of linebucks, and within three minutes we had a touchdown, Ratcliffe taking a pass from Noonan. Receiving the ball again the team started towards the goal. The Petaluma defense could not stop the line plays and Don Moore went through tackle for the second touchdown. Within seven minutes we had scored two touchdowns. The Petaluma huskies seemed to tighten up a bit, and from then on they played a good brand of football, the half ending 13 to 0. The second half consisted of a series of long passes by the Petalumans, until they finally put the ball over the line for their first and only touch- down, but failed to convert. The teams were now playing a brand of football that was hard to beat. Hoffman was the only man the Petaluma team had that could gain ground, and they worked him so often and hard that h is iron constitution could not stand the gaff. There was no more scoring on either side, and when the final whistle blew the score stood, 13 to 6 in favor of Santa Rosa High. The team that started: Ratcliffe, left end; Everett, |. t.; Bean, 1. 2; Parmeter, center; Ward, r. g.; Homan, r. t.; Nitzke, r. e. Backfield: Noonan, quarter; Moore, r. hos Beliz fz sbys Johnsons: |. sh. Substitutes: Adams for Feliz; McCormick for Ward: H. Noonan for Nitzke. S. R. H. S.—69 Analy—0 Vallejo having forfeited to us, our next game was played with Analy at Sebastopol. The Analyans though they were going to give us a run as they had defeated San Rafael, who had defeated us, But the team had a great deal to say about such a deal, coming from the hands of such a dear rival as Analy. The toss-up was won by Analy, who chose to receive. They received the ball and had it for four downs; as that is all the downs that is allowed to gain ten yards, the ball went to our fellows. They then oiled up the old machine and got her started down the grade toward the crossbar. Moore took the ball over for the first touchdown on a buck through tackle, going fifteen yards, Don also converted. The Analy line was just naturally not there when it came to football. The team kicked to Analy but again we took the ball and again the well oiled and well coached team got into working order, to stop only after scoring. Johnson did the honors this trip, lloore converted. The game was certainly interesting for Santa Rosa because of the rivalry against Analy and because they had been so sure of winning. The second quarter was a repitition of the first quarter, and again Don Moore and Johnson crossed the line to add twelve more points IPsHs, 48, (lake to the total. The work of the backfield on this day was wonderful to see. The coaching of Morris Kirksey could readily be seen. The team was now working as a unit, not as eleven men. To close the half Johnson went over and Moore converted. The score the first half was 33 to 0. The third quarter saw the team again get its stride, and before long Plover, who took fullback position, went over for a touchdown. The Analy team started down the field, and by a couple of fluke passes we thought they would finally put a touchdown over, but the S. R. defense strengthened and reversed the orders. Moore started the drive for the goalposts until he had chalked up his fourth touchdown of the day. Par- meter intercepted a pass at the beginning of the fourth quarter and went seventy-five yards to a touchdown. Feliz got in the way of the same kind of pass and ran fifty yards to score. Johnson made his third touchdown at the close of the game. ‘The final score was 69-0. The defense work of Ratcliffe and Homan was of A-1 class. The line up as follows: Ratcliffe 1. e., Everett 1. t., Bean 1. g., Parmeter c., Ward r. g., Hohman r. t., Nitzke r. e. Backs: Noonan q., Moore r. ing Johnson |. h., Feliz f. b. H. Noonan for Nitzke, Adams for Feliz, McCormick for Ward, Griffin for Everett, Smith for Moore, Plover for Johnson, Richardson for Adams. S. R. H. S.—34 Ukiah High School—0 The team took a trip to Ukiah on Thanksgiving Day, after having tried in vain to get a team to come to Santa Rosa. We certainly had hard luck in getting games at home this season. The more games at home, the better the support the team will get. The Ukiah team was strong on defense, and for the first two quarters, our team seemed to be in a stupor as to what to do. It was the first time our line had had any real work to do. The first half ended 0-0. The second half was exactly the opposite in character, the team started work at the opening of the third quarter, and had a touchdown within three minutes, Moore going over for our first touchdown. After a series of line bucks, Johnson succeeded in getting the ball over the last chalk line for another six points. The fourth quarter the team was stronger than ever, and put over touchdowns by Feliz, Johnson, and Plover. I might mention here that Captain “‘Grog’’ Noonan did not take the ball once when within scoring distance, but gave the pigskin to his team-mates in- stead. At Ukiah, with only a yard to go and thirty seconds to play, he wouldn't take it over. The final score of this game was 34-0 in favor of ney IRs Leaky Tse The following is the lineup: Ratcliffe 1. e., Everett |. t, Bean 1. g. Parmeter c., Ward r. g., Homan r. t., Nitzke r. e.

Wels Ol Ey TEE S(O, WV CLL TTIVA LOO OAL THE-ECHS Baskethall Unlimited The basketball season of 1923 was a season of victories for the unlimited squad. The 130 pound team did not fare as well because the team was broken up by sickness. The unlimited team played seven league games winning six of them, losing only to Berkeley High the title of the Northern Coast Section of the C. I. F. At that we won the North Western League Championship for the first time in eight years and we are certainly proud of the work of the team and also for the fine sportsmanship shown in all games. In Noonan and Johnson we had a pair of guards that were not equaled in this section, and they will certainly be missed. Captain Kerrigan deserves credit for the way in which he handled the team throughout the season. In Coach “‘Red” Betts, the team was lucky enough to get a prince of a fellow and also a man that knew how to coach basketball. S. R. H. S.—26 Geyserville—25 The first game the unlimited team played was with Geyserville on the Cloverdale court. Cloverdale forfeited and Geyserville took their place. The game was certainly a scrap from the start to finish. At the end of the first half the score stood 13-8 in favor of our opponents. In the second half we soon ran up the score and we were ahead of them one point when they shot a field basket. The score at one time would go in favor of Geyserville and then at another time in favor of S. R. by a lead of one point. When the Geyserville team was ahead and had thirty sec- onds to play, Grog Noonan shot a basket from the center of the court, winning the game. The score was 26-25 in favor of S. R. Captain Ker- ee was high point man with six field baskets and four free throws to his creait. S; Re HH S.—15 Petaluma—10 The Petaluma team was confident of victory but went home singing a different tune. Noonan had Hoffman covered so much that the poor little fellow did not make as much as one point. The first half ended with the score 8-2 in our favor. The second half was a better battle but still the Petaluma team did not come up to our men. The high point man was Captain Kerrigan with six points. The final score 15-10. S. R. H. S.—15 Analy—6 We journeyed to Analy to take them down a peg or two, and succeeded. In the first quarter McCormick went wild and shot two baskets in rapid fire order. Kerrigan shot a free ball and the score did not change for the rest of the half. Analy shooting three free balls. The score at the end of the half was 5-3. The second half the team got onto the wonderful lighting of the hall (?) and put the score keepers to work. The defensive work of Johnson and Noonan was wonderful to see. Not one field basket was shot in this game. The final score was 15-6 in favor of the Orange and Black. Kerrigan was again high point man with ten points to his credit. ao wwe eo FR wo ee SG au eee GE® a H UNLIMITED BASKETBALL PEE CLO S. R..H.

Bazano was playing Center and was so fast that the player opposite him nearly had to be taken off the floor because he lost his wind in chasing him. The second half the team hit its stride and soon had the County Championship, having defeated every team they ran up against. Captain Kerrigan again showed his ability and scored nine points. Johnson shot three field goals that were hair raisers. S. R. H. S.—22 Napa—21 After winning the county championship we had to play Napa for the championship of Sonoma, Napa, Marin, and Solano Counties. We went to Napa and played on a court that was about half the size of ours. Never- theless we won in the final thirty seconds of the game, Jarboe ringing the basket. Jarboe was high point man with eleven points to his credit. Winning this game gave us the right to play Willits for the Championship of the N. W. L. Our final score was 22-21. S. R. H. S.—27 Willits—19 The Willits game turned out to be more of a battle than we expected. The first half ended in favor of the invaders 8-6. At the beginning of the second half the team worked in unison again and before Willits knew what was happening Kerrigan had shot four field goals in rapid succession. From then on Victory was all for the Orange and Black. It seems that our team always came back and did the best work in the final half. Captain Kerrigan had a bad night, shooting only fifteen points. Our final score was PT fen Mee S. R. H. S.—15 Berkeley—27 After winning the N. W. L. our next opponent was Berkeley High School. The team left the day before the game in order to get a practice on the court and a good nights rest before the game. The first half ended with the score 13-5 in favor of our opponents. In the third quarter the team ran the score up to 14-13 in our favor. But the game was beginning to tell on our men as we had to play them steadily because of our lack of players. Nevertheless the fight was there even if the team was outweighed twenty pounds to a man. Captain Kerrigan shot ten of our fifteen points and deserves untold praise for the way in which he stuck to the job against all odds. The team as a whole deserves praise for the game of basketball they plaved on this night and the good sport- manship they showed. The final score was 27-15. The team received gold Basketballs in honor of their wonderful record during the season. FRANK GRACE 130 Pound Team S..R.—28 Cloverdale—13 Our first game of basket-ball against Cloverdale started our league games. The team had been practicing during Christmas holidays without a coach, but nevertheless the first same was won by a good majority. The star of the game for Santa Rosa was Jarboe who made three field WAS WEE elO) TEAM HH =| H an “4 ETB BASE 130-POUND WISE, JC leh, goals and two foul tries. Bacigalupi at center also shot three baskets. For so early in the season the 130 pound team was already beginning to hit its stride. The final score stood 28-13 in favor of the locals. S. R.—17 Petaluma—9 The second league game was played with Petaluma on our court. The team was getting into their stride as the days passed and when the whistle blew for the game to start we had our best men in the line up ready for action. The game was snappy throughout and Santa Rosa won after a tough battle. The first half ended with the score 11-3 in favor of Orange and Black. In the last half six points were made by each team. The high point man of this game was Jim Grace at center. S. R.—16 Analy—30 The game with Analy came at a bad time for Santa Rosa, as several of the men were sick and were not able to play. But the old fighting spirit was there even if they did have to play in an old barn and had to avoid hitting their heads on the rafters. When a team is trained to shoot the ball high in the air it certainly makes a difference when they have to lower their throw so as not to hit the rafters. The final score was 16-30. Cap- tain Jarboe scored seven points. S. R.—14 Healdsburg—17 The 130 pound team certainly had its share of bad luck. It seemed that every one had to get sick at the same time. Such was the case when Healdsburg came down to play. Several of the team played when they should have been home in bed. Such conduct shows a fighting spirit, especially when a team is fighting against odds. During the first half the team did not score heavily as the score 3-]1 shows. The second half they got their eyes on the basket running up eleven points to Healdsburg’s seven. But this was not enough to turn over a victory and the final was 14-17 in favor of opponents. AE lest) Dy) Gd MO Baseball S.. R. H.-S: HITCHCOCK 8 9 vs. Our first game was played with Hitchcock on their diamond. The game was very fast and exciting. Our pitcher, Buster Coates, pitched an excellent game, and was given wonderful support by his teammates. Prospects of winning the N. W. L. championship were very good. Althouh our team had very little practice both the infield and the outfield showed plenty of class. S. R. H. S. SAN RAFAEL 7 MAR 2 This was our first league game and was played on San Rafael’s diamond. Good old S. R. H. S. was never headed at any time during the game. Buster Coates showed that he was a real pitcher by tossing a wonderful game, allowing but three hits. The team was fast rounding into shape. Our shortstop, Smith, showed real class, proving himself one of the best in the league. S: Rib S; HEALDSBURG 10 aad 9 This was a real battle from start to finish. For a short time we were handicapped by the lack of a coach, but Pete Maroni, local Rosebud star, came to the rescue of his Alma Mater, and did wonders. It was due to his coaching that we were able to win this game, and the school and team certainly appreciate his help. Smith again showed up well by boosting out a timely hit in the ninth inning that won the game. S:oRivH.o: ANALY 0 vs. 1 Analy, our old and honored rivals, gave us the small end of a very close score. They certainly realized that they had played a game, though, when they had finished. Dan Collins, their twirler, tossed a great game, allowing no hits and no runs. The game was shot throughout with airtight playing and flashy work. The closeness of the score and the valiant efforts of both sides to get ahead furnished the spectators with plenty of thrills. Analy made their winning run when both Smith, shortstop, and McClaren, centerfielder, made errors on the same ball. Jack Jonas, because of his steady playing, was easily the star for 5S. R. S. R. H. S. TOMALES 20 Vs. 8 S. R. H. S. played Tomales on their diamond one cloudy afternoon. The game was too one sided to be interesting. Our boys played a great game of ball and hit everything the Tomales pitcher could offer. Every member of the team made one or two runs. Walter Dakin, our moundsman, pitched a great game, allowing but one hit. ISU Wee lahke Ch gle se ” vs. Although the team was weakened by the loss of three of the regulars, we won a fast game from Napa. Everyone played a snappy brand of ball. Dakin was going fine, and pitched an unbeatable brand of ball. Braun and DeMeo showed up well. We still had a chance to win the league if Analy should lose a game and were bending all our efforts to win the rest of our games. AS yeaa 5 Sd Ets PETALUMA 5 vs. 8 This game meant a lot to us, but although the team fought from start to finish, a better team beat us. This practically ruined our chances for the league. Petaluma has a wonderful team and it looked like it should win the league, which it finally did. Jim Grace starred for S. R. Looking back over the season convinces us that although we didn’t win the league on the whole, the season was quite successful. We piled up fifty-eight runs to our opponents thirty-one.

Gutcher was high point of the meet, with 1914 points. Probably the most exciting race of the meet was the 220 yd., when Sil- verio of Analy won the race by cutting in on Adams, who was beaten out by inches.

S.—25 Santa Rosa entered a strong team in the second annual Analy Running Carnival, and captured second place in a strongly contested meet. If they had counted fourth place in the events and second place in the relays, as is done in large meets, Santa Rosa would have won without doubt. Analy won the meet with 28 points, Santa Rosa placed second with 25, Napa took third with 12, and Petaluma took fourth with 11]. Gutcher was high point man, with 814 points, Adams took the hundred in the remarkable time of 10:1, which was very good time, considering USGS, Je KEI CVO) the conauion or ihe irack. MicLaien, Sania i osa sprimcer, injured his leg in the relay; this injury lost the 1elay, and kept McLaren trom getting bet- ter places in the sprints. After the meet a big feed was presented to the athietes by the cafeteria girls; this proved to be one of the best teatures of the meet. Santa Kosa athletes placed as follows: Adams: First in the |UU yard dash, third in the 220 yard dash. Gutcher: First in the |ZU yard high hurdles, second in the 440 yard dash. Pearcy: First in the mile. McLaren: ‘Third in the 100 yard dash. Santa Kosa capiured first in the medley relay, the team for which was composed of: Adams, Gutcher, McGuire, and Pearcy.

They captured both the relays in fast time and by large distances. The following men placed: C. DeMeo: First in the fifty yard dash, second in the 100 yard dash. Saarinen: Third in the 11U yard hurdles. Clarence Nitzke °23 STANFORD MEET On April 27, 1923, Santa Rosa was represented in the N. C. S. of the C. I. F. Track meet at Stanford by: Pearcy, Nitzke, Cox, Adams, McGuire, Walden, Plover, Hinds, and Von Tillow. The heats for most of the shorter events were held at ten o'clock Saturday morning, and in these heats, Adams, McGuire, Walden, and Von Tillow placed for the finals in the af- ternoon. ‘The outcome of this meet was very disappointing, as most of the fellows were off form and not running true to color. Pearcy our speedy distance man, ran a beautiful mile and brought in a fourth place from a large field of runners. His time was 4:50. Clarence Nitzke '23 PETALUMA DUAL MEET In the dual meet with Petaluma, Santa Rosa was defeated in spite of the fact that they took every first place in all the track events, but the mile. Petaluma completely ran away with the field events. Adams was high point man of the meet for Santa Rosa by capturing the 100 and 220 yard dashes without exerting himself. Hudson also took two firsts in the 440 and 880 yard runs, which were made in fast time. The following placed for Santa Rosa. Adams: First in the 110 yard dash, first in the 220 yard dash. Hudson: First in the 440 yard dash, first in the 880 yard run. McGuire: Second in the 440 yard dash. Gutcher: First in the 120 yard high hurdles, third in the shot, third in the discus. Walden: Third in the 100 yard dash, third in the 220 yard dash. Plover: First in the low hurdles. Pearcy: Second in the mile. Cox: Third in the mile. Strobino: Third in the half mile. Pedersen: Second in the pole vault, EHE-EGHO Ratcliffe: Tied for second in the broad jump. Santa Rosa won the relay. In the 120 lb. division, Santa Rosa easily won by the score of 35 to 25. Churchill, DeMeo, and Jarboe all placed well in their events. Clarence Nitzke °23 THE C.F. MEET In the big annual C. I. F. Meet held at Healdsburg, Santa Rosa was able to grab fifth place only on account of the ineligibility of Gutcher, Adams, and Hudson, who were sure point winners and would have given Santa Rosa a higher place, if not first place. John Greeott proved himself to be a real weight man when he took second in the discus. Plover took third in the low hurdles, Pearcy fourth in the mile, and Von Tillow tied for third in the pole vault. Santa Rosa took fourth in the unlimited relay. Santa Rosa 120 Ib. team placed first by running up such a large score that the outcome of their meet was never doubtful. Whitney broke the broad jump record with a leap of 18 feet, 10 inches, and DeMeo took first in the 220 and second in the 100 yard dashes. Churchill, Saarinen, Doig, and Jarboe also took places for Santa Rosa. Val Adams ’23 S. N. S. TRACK MEET Santa Rosa placed fourth in the S. N. S. C. A. L. Track Meet at St. Helena, scoring 11!%4 points. Santa Rosa was greatly handicapped by the absence of several star point makers who were unable to compete in this meet. Greeott was high point man for Santa Rosa taking first place in the discus with a heave of 110 feet, a very few feet short of the record. Analy captured first place in this meet by a good margin. Pearcy ran a very good race in the mile. taking third in this event. Hinds pulled a surprise in the high jump: he tied for third place by clear- ing the bar at 5 feet 8 inches. He will doubtless set a record in future meets as he has two years more of competition. Plover took third in the low hurdles. which were won in fast time. In the 120 Ib. class the S. R. H. S. team were not running up to their usual form and were able to get only fourth place. Whitney, Jarboe, and DeMeo were the stars of their division. Val Adams °23 Iuter-Class Athletics Seniors—73 Sophomores—18 Juniors 56 Freshmen— 2 In the latter part of March was held the interclass track meet, in which every class was well represented. The senior class practically swamped the other classes in the unlimited meet. while in the 120 Ib. the juniors barelv nosed out the seniors by winnine the relay. Val Adams was high point man of the meet. with 1314 paints ta his ledifjuestle won bothesprints «with. ease. Gutcher took two first places by winning the hich hurdles and discus. Pearev also took ten points bv annexing the half and mile, which he ran in fast time. Plover, Shaffer, DHE ECHO ; Jarboe, Hinds, and McGuire also took first place in their events. Charles DeMeo and Saarinen were the stars of the lightweight division, each win- ning two first places. This meet brought out much material for track that proved to be stars farther along in the season. Clarence Nitzke, ‘23 INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Freshmen—25 Freshmen vs. Juniors Juniors—36 The first game of the interclass tournament the freshmen and the juniors clashed in a hard fought game. At the end of the half the score was very close in favor of the first year men. The juniors made a great comeback in the last quarter, setting a pace that the frosh were unable to check. The score stood at the end of the game, juniors 36, freshmen 25. This qualifi- ed the juniors to meet the winners of the senior and soph game. Seniors vs. Sophomores Seniors—31 Sophomores—17 The seniors completely outclassed the sophs in the second game of the interclass games. The first quarter was the hardest, as the score alternated from side to side, but after that the seniors found themselves and ran up a large lead. Gutcher and Nitzke played a good game for the seniors while Perkins thrilled the spectators. The game ended by the seniors taking the contest 31 to 17. Seniors vs. Juniors Seniors—17 Juniors—10 The final and championship game of the interclass was played between the juniors and seniors. This game was hard fought and rough throughout, and many fouls were made on both sides. At half time the juniors were leading by the score of 5 to 3. But in the last half the seniors ran away from the juniors and won by a good margin. The lineup was: Seniors:— Forward, Gutcher and Hudson; Center, Adams; Guards, Shaffer, Evans and Nitzke. Juniors:—Forwards, Cummins and DeMeo; Center, Simpson; Guards, Fry and Thompson. By Clarence Nitzke and Val Adams, °23.

It has lent its efforts in furthering all the athletics of the school. The success of the last circus which netted the school over two hundred and fifty dollars was due largely to the efforts of the Block “‘S’’ Society. Since the burning of the high school the Block “‘S’’ Society has not had regular meetings and during the first part of the year it was not very active, but during the latter part of the year it has resumed activity. On May 25, the society held a swim, feed and initiation on the Russian River at Hilton. The new members that were initiated were: John Greeott, Donald Moore, Jack Plover and Ben Hinds. Gayle Johnson, Pres.

Working under difficulties as it did, the student body was able to organize efficiently, and to promote various activities. The financial end of the school was very ably taken care of by Mr. Wm. F. Bennyhoff, treasurer. A large amount was spent on football equipment, and a portion was given to the Girls’ League. At Christmas time the student body gave gifts of food to the poor. This act was accomplished by each _ student bringing a donation to school before the Christmas vacation. Altogether e Pe the semester was highly successful. WILL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LL LLL LLL Spring Semester. Johnny Parmeter was aguin elect- ed President of the Associated Student Body of the Santa Rosa High: School. ‘The Work of the previous semester was carried on. During the early part of the term various interclass games were instituted in order to keep up class spirit and to develop material for the teams. Then the biggest event of the spring term was put on. This was the circus. No circus ever enjoyed a greater success than this one did, financially and otherwise. In addition to this, gold basket- balls were awarded to the team for their very good work. Johnny Parmeter was unfortunate- ly forced to leave school and has been missed a great deal. His place however, has been very ably taken by Byron McCormick, the vice-presi- dent. Kas: THE ECHO ULL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL BYRON McCORMICK, ’23 Football—Baseball—Swimming Mac was our reliable guard for two years of football, in ’21 and ’22. He won his block S both seasons. His knack of breaking up plays was very consistent, and he _ proved himself expert in p'unging through and smearing the play behind the line. Byron’s basketball career has covered a space of three years, ’21, ’22, ’23, and he won his letter in this sport the last season. His game at forward was marked by his accurate passing and shooting, both of these features helped roll up the the score in many a game. His p’aying in the Analy game was marked by his flashy shooting. He also won _ his b’ock in swimming in the C. L F. Swimming Meet at San Rafael in 1922. He shattered the league record in the plunge and the 440 yard swim. McCormick is the only triple S man in Santa Rosa High School, and is a very popu- lar man about the school. UMMM LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL, WILLIAM GUTCHER, ’23 Football—Basketball—Baseball Track Will was our speedy right end on the football team, which won the North Coast Championship. His ability to break up in- terferences and h is passing made him a ‘Brick Muller” on the team. In the Berkeley same Berkeley was unable to make a_ single 199 gain around his end. In '22 basketball Gutecher jumped center, his speedy floor work and passing keeping his opponent continually on the jump. AI- though the game was new to him, he played like a veteran. On the baseball team he held first base. His coolness and freedom from errors in playing were responsible for nany putouts at first base. Track is his best sport. This season marks his fourth year of track, also his best. He las an almost unlimited knowledge of track, is he has engaged practically every event In track. His events are the 440, discus, shot, high jump, and high hurdles, the latter of which is his best event. Gutcher has not been beaten this year in the high hurdles, as he easily outclassed all his competitors. In the Analy Running Carnival he showed his hee’s to his opponents in very fast time. Eee. CLO BILL COWAN, ’23 Football—Basketball—Baseball Bill played right tackle on the ’20 football team, which had a very successful year. His aggressiveness and hard-hitting tactics proved his worth to the team in every g ame. When he took a man out of the play the player re- membered it for the rest of the game. Cowan was guard on the basketball team of ’°21 and ’23. His weight and his speed on the court kept the opponents’ score low. He also p'ayed a good offensive game, and usually accounted for several baskets in each contest. His eagle eye for field goals was one of the features of the Geyserville game. He also played a good game of baseball, his best position being first base. Bill handled everything that came his direction, and ac- counted for many putouts. VAL ADAMS, ’23 Football—Track Val, although a good performer on _ the gridiron, did his best work on the track. Adams was a consistent performer in the sprints, winning the 100 and 220 yards with ease in every meet. He was captain of the track team this season, and his brilliance in the sprints did much to encourage his team to put up a good exhibition in the different events. His time of 10 flat in the century and 23:2 in the 220 yards are very good times for a high school athlete. This is his third year of track, and he has won his letter every year. In ’22 football, he played fullback, where his fast and speedy playing were a_ great asset to the team. He was best in running endruns and running interference. His best playing was perhaps in the Hitchcock game. ULL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL BE alley Ae) ee MO) ULL LLL LLL LLL LLLTITSSTVLTDLSS YTS T ALLL S14 FRANK GRACE, ’23 Football—Baseball Frank Grace has been a member of the baseball team since he was a freshman in high school. His clever fielding and _ his ability to bring in runs have made Santa Rosa the victor in many contests. Grace won his letter in football in ’20 and in ’21, A'though light, he was fast and aggressive in ho'ding down guard and_ tackle _ positions. Since he was ineligible to compete in athletics this year, he was made manager of all athletic teams in Santa Rosa High School. LTE LLL CLARENCE NITZKE, ’23 Football—Basketball—-Track Nitzke transferred from a well-known high school in lowa, and immediately distinguished himself in local high school sports. He played tackle on the ’21 football team, and in 1922 was changed to end, the position where he was better suited. In the Napa game, Nitzke stopped many plays behind the line, and made many clever tackles. Very few plays were put around Clarence’s end, as he was one of the team’s most deadly tacklers. On the basketball team he played two years at center, where he showed up very well. He had a very good eys for goals, as was seen in every game he played. He won his block letter this season in basketball. Nitzke made his first attempt at track this year, and ran a good race in both 880 and the mile. With another year of practice he would make a very good distance man. ALLLLLLLILSLLLLLLLLLLLSL LLL SASL LASSE SILLS SLES LE WASNS, (ee lah, VILL LLL LLL LLL ROLAND HUDSON, ’23 Football—Track “Rol” was our flashy halfback on the football team although it was his first year of football. His end runs and clever open field work baffled the opposing teams in every game he played. At receiving passes he was without equal. His playing in the Eureka game will be long remembered. Hudson’s track experience began in 720, where as a freshman he revealed possibilities as a long distance man. Although he was sma'l in stature, his easy swimming stride brought hi mamong the winners in every race. His events are the mile, 880, 440, and pole vault, in each of which events he stars. In the N. W. L. at Petaluma, in 1922, he won the 440 from a large field of runners in 55:0. He won the cross-country run in 1920, and the cross-city run in 1923, winning a large silver cup both times. ULM LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LL Lh GAYLE JOHNSON, ’24 Football—Basketball—Baseball lootball is Gayle’s favorite sport; he star- red for three years on the team. He was our star defensive end for the season of ’20 and 21. In '22 he was shifted to halfback, where he always could be counted upon to make the necessary yardage. Gayle has been elected captain of the °28 football team. On the basketball team Gayle for two years p’ayed guard, his best position. His good passing and ability to hold the opposing for- ward scoreiess, did much to place Santa Rosa so high in league finals this season. His playing in the Healdsburg game is worthy of comment, as he did wonderful guarding. Although baseball is not his best sport, Johnson played a good game at third base in 722. In ’238 he alternated the position of catcher with Parmeter, the regular catcher, HA, LILLIA LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL Tea CEO VL LLL LLL LL LLL Se GEORGE JARBOE, ’24 Mg Basketball—Track 199 20 George was captain and forward of the 130 Ib. basketball team, that placed high in the league. His speed and ability to shoot goals made him a valuable member of the team. After finishing the 130 Ib. schedule, he became a player on the unlimited team. His playing in the contest against Napa Union High School will be remembered for a long time by all those who saw it, as he shot baskets from almost every position on the floor. He won his letter in track in ’22 and '23 in the 120 Ib. team, his speed being very valuable asset to the team. Jarboe a expected of is a junior, and great things are him next year.

After four years of school the seniors are ready to step out into the world, just as we come to know what is expected of us, and to realize what school means. How fast the time flies! But a short time ago we were freshmen. Now we are leaving good old Santa Rosa High School. Stepping “out of school life, into life’s school.’ Are we prepared? Did we make the best of our time? We hesitate to say. The least we can do is to pass on to the underclassmen what we have found out. Now we realize how we should have spent our time, how we should have worked and studied in order to prepare ourselves to take up the duties and privileges of citizens of our city, our state and our nation. We realize that men spoke with a wealth of truth and experience when they told us to make the most of our time. Can we help the underclassmen to realize this? At the present the school is scattered over a large area, and the difficult thing is to secure cooperation. It makes all the difference in the world if a school can work efficiently as a uuit. All of us can help by doing our best to work under present conditions and to help the teachers in their work as much as possible. Let's all concentrate on making the most out of every minute we have. It is so easy to put things off, yet so much better to do them now. School is for our own benefit. Let’s make the most of it. K.. S.
