This season we have pruned and cultivated the soil in an effort to improve our product. In Annuals as well as in fruit, an extra fancy is reached only through hard work and appli- cation, and we hope our readers will appreciate the efforts that have gone into this Annual and will rank it with the other fruits that make the Selah Valley famous. -The Staff.

CLASS DAY SPEAKERS Vivian Mueller Doris Adley Mona Kelly Merla Clark Nathalie Tyrrell Marie Webber THE FRUIT SPUR fifteen Senior lass Zlaistnrp It is with great joy that I take you back into by-gone days to recall the adventures and achievements of the class of '23. The joumey has been long-the burdens few and the joys many. And now as we near its completion it seems hard to realize-so much time has passed. Nevertheless-it's gone-and my purpose is not to bring sorrow to the hearts of my readers but to refresh their minds as to what we have accomplished and how we have tried to uphold the standards of a school of which we are proud to be graduates. We entered Selah High School in the fall of 'l9. Our feeling was one of being in a new home. The privileges we had enjoyed in grammar school were limited now. We accepted the grave seriousness of High School life, however, and centered a great deal of faith in our advisor, Miss Potter. She helped us out of our dif- ficulties and after we got started-well, it wasn't so bad-we mastered our responsi- bility in a manly way and shared our bur- dens cheerfully. Algebra was just a re- view of our dear old alphabet from the first grade-x y z and a b c-just so simple. All work and no play never make a suc- cessful class, so we had our recreation as well. This consisted of several parties, a picnic and many other good times. Ted Bamsley was our president the first year. No better class meetings could have been held. Even in our little tussles with our rivals --the Sophomores-we emerged from the struggle none the worse for our encounter and showed them what real good sports we were by inviting them to a party in retum for the initiation. The party was such a success that a truce was declared, which was the cause of the development of many true friendships. After our first year of High School life we started out anew as Sophomores. We had a stronger and a better determination to become a class the Selah High might well be proud of. We were a wild and frolicsome class but didn't very often give vent to our feel- ings. Miss Potter had been such a true friend and so willing to help that we knew without her we would be lost. She con- sented to be our class advisor again and with Beth as our president we were pre- pared for a successful year. We suc- ceeded in giving the Freshman an initia- tion they will never forget. Even though it was pretty strict, we have it from them it was one they enjoyed. During our second year of High School our class of '23 committed a deed we will ever regret. We took a day off from school. We thought it was a privilege, not for Seniors alone, but a practice that under-classmen could indulge in as well. The joy of going and the joy while away was greatly overshadowed by the grief and repentance of our actions and we as a class resolved never to be guilty of such actions again. After all, we learn our lessons by experience which is some- times pretty dear. Our Sophomore picnic4oh, yes, l must just mention it and hurry on. lt is an ex- perience and good time which will always remain in our memorys as one picnic that was worth while. Baseball-yes, we played baseball until we were so tired that a bed would have felt good. Eats--yes, we had plenty to eat. In fact, before the picnic we thought all liked pickles, but afterwards we couldn't even look at one for months. Our Sophomore year was gone before we knew it. I probably haven't said very much about studyingg we managed that, however, and at the end of the year, after hard exams were over, we couldn't let the year go by without another party. This time we had our party at the home of Beth and Charlotte Ambrosen. It was really a lawn party and we surely had an excep- tionally good time. Many boys of outside classes were there and the original stunts put on by them would have made P. T. Barnum envious. Oodles of ice cream and gobs of cake go towards a successful sixteen THE FRUIT SPUR party. We had these and our party was certainly a success. Oh for another party like that one! The name junior seemed unfamiliar but before long we had adopted it and started our third year of high school with our usual amount of pep and vim. As upper-classmen we determined to be more faithful than ever. Kenneth Hensman was elected president, but he was unable to be with us the entire year. Doris Adley took Kenneth's place and her ability to fill the position exceptionally well was notice- able. A number of the boys had left school the previous year and the class was composed mostly of girls. But you know the girls usually had their own way just the same. Miss Potter did not return to teach at Selah during our ,junior year. Nevertheless, we had a class advisor through whose guiding influence we ad- vanced rapidly. Miss McKean will always be remembered by the class of '23. Mrs. Billington was another teacher who did not retum. She was our English teacher dur- ing our second year and she said she had to be honest with us and tell us how much she loved us. We also had a party at her home during our Sophomore year. Almost the entire class was there and, even if the party lasted quite late, we were wide awake all the time. Mrs. Billington's ability as hostess, we all agree, could not be surpassed. We did not give a junior play because of lack of time, but we gave a junior pro- gram that we will ever be proud of. Two class skits, entitled Playgoers and The Ghost Story, displayed the ability and talent of our class and a class song of original composition completed a success- ful program. During the performance subscriptions were taken for our first an- nual, The Fruitspurf' The program was an enjoyment, a benefit, and a help, as well. According to the practices of previous years, we knew we would have to enter- tain the Seniors. We thought a banquet would prove most enjoyable. Such a grand and glorious affair. A good feed, a dandy program, and the time passed all too quickly. We left the school to the tune of this refrain: Long Live the juniors of '23! We couldn't finish our third year of High School without a farewell party. It was a very serious occasion, our meeting together for the last time. just the same, we put all seriousness aside, as we usually do, and made our final party a rousing success. Yes, when school started again we were Seniors. Think of it--we who had only been Freshies a short time ago were now Seniors. We did our best to act dignified and be shining examples for the under- classmen, but, sorry to say, few patterned after us. Our election at the first class meeting resulted as follows: Maria Webber, presi- dentg Edward Kelly, vice-president, Alice Gross, treasurer, Mona Kelly, secretary. Miss Wakefield was chosen as our class advisor. Her winning ways, cheerful dis- position, tact and good judgment will always be remembered by the Senior class. Before long we were busy at work making our final attempt at gaining knowledge and success. During the first semester three of our faithful members, Majorie Bowers, Edward Kelly and Naides Stone had to leave school on account of illness. We felt badly but health had to be considered first and we know they will graduate in fine shape next year. We had a Hallowe'en party during the first semester of our Senior year. It was one that was different from those we had held before. The first semester passed all too quickly and before long the Senior play was in full swing. The cast did not consist en- tirely of Seniors because there were not enough boys to take the parts. The ser- vices of members outside the class were greatly appreciated. No one will ever for- get Three Live Ghosts. It was a rare comedy that was well worth remembering. The Seniors history goes to press be- fore our school year is completed. Never- theless, we're living in anticipation of an- other picnic and the glorious privilege of skip day. Time has passed all too quickly, but never will we forget the days spent at THE FRUIT SPUR Svvvntevu Selah High. We have fought for her and will defend her in the days to come. Fifteen Rahs for Selah High! On your feet Seniors! QIftertbnugiJt During the course of our career at Selah High our class has been repre- sented, by its members, in every activity. In fact, ability for every kind of work has been present in our class. Vivian Mueller for two years repre- sented our class by being a member of the debate team. She earned her pin both years and we know she's proud of it. Vivian has also been president of our Student Body, and a leader worth follow- ing. Many of the class have taken part in Glee Club-yes, there's almost enough musical talent in our class to have an orchestra of our own. As for athletics, we have had many lass bright and shining stars. Kenneth Hens- man and Walter Ehret have both played the position of guard on the High School team. Vivian and Mona took part in athletics a great deal. Both girls have fought hard for the Purple and Gold. Sylvia Saunders has been editor of the newspaper notes and many department ed- itors have been represented by our class. By taking part in these activities we feel we have gained a great deal of experience that has been recreational as well as bene- ficial. The Seniors of '23 will never regret the time they've spent at SELAH HIGH. mpbetp .- Merla Clark I am the daughter of the Gods, the wonder of the age. To me is given the magical power to look into thee, oh crystal, and read thy message, thy hidden knowl- edge. Respond, o jewel, respond to my pleadings, and give me your fire, your wisdom. Bring to my burning eyes pic- tures, visions of tomorrow. Bring to my eyes the fates and fortunes of the mem- bers of the class of '23, Send forth thy Spirit, oh Mystery! I wait. A spark! A flame! A blazing burst of light! Out of the ashes of thy flaming spirit comes a vision, a picture of what is to be. What vision is this? A graveyard? Oh, yes. The city of the dead. Beside the tombstone of a newly made grave kneels a sombre figure in black. It is that of a young widow beside the grave of her late husband. Her whole frame is shaken by convulsive sobs, and she repeats a name again and again in a choked whis- per. As she lifts her veil to dry her streaming eyes, I see her face. It is Beth Ambrosen, and the sorowful name which she repeats is Whither, Whitner! The scene changes. On the steps of a govemment building in Petrograd stands a woman. With shoulders thrown defiant- ly back, and head held high, she flaunts a banner for all the world to see. Coming down the street towards her is a member of the opposite sex. As she spies him, a man, a mere man, her eyes flash with scom, and her tongue, dripping with venom, flays him unmercifully. The man, mere as he is, hunches his shoulders a little higher, as if to ward off the scathing volley, and humbly walks on. The woman, who is standing as a picket in the Russian capital, is Maria Webber, as radical and eighteen THE FRUIT SPUR revolutionary as ever, and on her banner flash the words: Votes for Women. What new scene is this? Oh, yesg I see the canvas auditorium of the Chatauqua circuit. The appearance of Hawaiian players and singers has been billed for this evening. The performers enter the stage, and in their midst is a girl, dark- eyed and slim, who seats herself and be- gins to play on a Hawaiian steel guitar. The girl is Alice Gross, and the way she produces the sobbing notes from the guitar would put a native-born Hawaiian to shame. Again the changing of pictures. I wait. Down the street dashes the frenzied figure of a man. With eyes wildly staring, his breath coming in gasps and arms flaying the air, he leaps madly on. Who is this fast retreating figure? Is it some desper- ate criminal making a frantic effort to escape the clutches of the law? Oh, no! I see the light. It is only Walter Ehret, Selah dog-catcher, pursuing another of his prey. What new vision is this? I see a room. From its unusual furnishings, original and artistic, I should judge it to be an artist's studio. Near a group of windows stands a large easel. In front of the easel, skil- fully wielding a brush, is a bobbed-haired girl, dressed in a blue smock. With lips parted and dark eyes shining with eager- ness, she puts the finishing strokes to a masterpiece. It is Lottie Calvert, world famous for her beautiful paintings, at work in her Paris studio. Another change? What new revelation is this? Down a plowed highway speeds an automobile like a hunted thing. Over the wheel of the fleeing car crouches the driver with a fiendish look of triumph on her face. She turns, looks backwards and beholds, far back in the cloud of dust, her outwitted pursuer. Gaily she kisses her fingertips and addresses him thus: Ta, Ta, old dear, see you later. Then, obedi- ent to the movement of her foot, the car again leaps forward. Be not alarmed. 'Tis only Doris Adley,'outwitting another speed cop. That fades and a new picture presents itself. I see a room whose fumishings bespeak comfort and luxury. Seated at a small desk is a young woman rapidly tak- ing dictation. Across the room, before an open window, stands a tense figure with arms outstretched in a touching gesture of appeal and eyes full of passionate long- ing. All the while she keeps up a rapid- fire dictation. Then, with a sweep of hungry arms, she embraces the window curtain, presses it to her bosom, and buries her face into its welcoming folds to the accompaniment of her whispered words, My love, my love. Over at the desk the young woman yawns, turns a page, and writes, ...,,....,,,,,,,....,.. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,, , .,...,,,,,.......,,,.... The woman at the window turns. It is Louise Hoffman, well-known novelist, dictating another best seller. What new picture is this? I see a charming bungalow situated in sunny Cali- fornia. The door opens and a pretty brown-haired little woman steps out on the porch and waves gaily at the handsome chap coming down the road. Now he turns in, comes up the walk, affectionately greets the young woman and asks: Din- ner ready, Dot? Already, Ted, come on in, is the reply, and, arm in arm, Mrs. Ted Barnsley, nee Dorothy Anderson, and her husband go in to dinner. What new revelation is this? To my wondering eyes is sent a picture of the darkened interior of a large theatre. Be- hind the foot-lights stands a tense, pas- sionate figure. She is singing-rich, deep, melodious. What golden depths, what silvery heights! With one magnificent sweep of voice, one lonely, lingering trill, and the wonderful gush of melody ends. For a long moment no sound is made by the entranced audience. Then comes a roar of applause. People shout, laugh, cry, and then cheer again, all the while madly clapping. Intermingled in the clamor comes insistent cries of More! More! On the stage the singer gracious- ly inclines her head. It is Charlotte Am- brosen, prima donna and world's greatest contralto, acknowledging the applause for her ninth encore. Again a change, and again a new vision. Seated at a desk is a young woman with bobbed hair and dreamy eyes. She is THE FRUIT SPUR nineteen writing furiously, and the midnight oil bums low. Now she heaves a huge sigh of relief, gathers up her writing materials, and is about to depart. The young woman is Sylvia Saunders, editor of the Selah Valley Optimist, writing an editorial on The Use of Eyes. Another vision? What portrayal is this? I see a vast hall-the senate cham- ber. ln the midst of this great assemblage of men stands a lone woman, eloquent and forceful. lt is Vivien Mueller, woman senator, delivering a speech in Congress urging the adoption of a bill for the reduc- tion of the high cost of loving. This scene changes. I see the interior of a huge tabernacle. On the platform is a f'ure, fiery, tense and full of entreaty. He is delivering a sermon, a sermon whose awful persuasion and woeful wam- ings would soften the hard heart of a Spanish buccaneer. It is Rev. Donald Fogelquist, world's leading evangelist, whose eloquence and oratorical powers have made him even superior to Billy Sunday. lt is rumored that his ability as a great speaker was first recognized, when, as a student of Selah High School, he used to do his stunt in French class. Now that vision fades. There glides into my range of sight the porch of a pretty bungalow. Seated in a slowly mov- ing porch swing are two people-a man and a maid. lt is a very pretty little love scene. The man gently steals his arm around the girl, and she snuggles willingly into the hollow of his arm and breathes a contented little sigh of happiness. Yvonne, my dearest Yvonne, breathes the man, bending down to kiss the dark, sleek head. Oh, you dumbell! Can't you kiss her like you meant it? Now, do it over again, storms the exasperated director. Oh, do it right this time, please, sighs the girl. All right, Miss Coleman. Sorry, replies the man, and Mary, world's greatest motion-picture actress, moves away from his arms and they prepare to do it all over again. Now there stretches before my vision a huge stadium, in which is being played a woman's championship game of baseball. A dark-haired girl, a fine athletic type, steps up to the plate and coolly waits for a ball. Presently a swift one is sent her by the pitcher and the girl, keenly alert, deals it a well-directed blow which sends it flying. A mighty cheer is sent up by the crowd, and Mona Kelly, famous woman ballplayer, and intemationally known as Lucky Strike, adds another home run to her record. What new vision is this? What glitter and what blare? Oh, yes! The vision clears, and I behold that the Camival, the city of canvas and bunk, has come to town. ln front of one of the tents, a large one with the word Extravaganza printed in blazing electric letters above it, is a man with a megaphone, who shouts out information as to this most gorgeous, this most wonderful show which starts in just one minute, ladies and gentlemen. A curious crowd gathers. Behind the man a door opens and reveals to light the most gorgeous vision of grease paint and tawdry trappings ever beheld. Then begins a movement, or rather a series of move- ments, tenuous, tortuous and twistly. The crowd starts, open-mouthed. Somebody makes an exclamation. My word! he gasps., Nathalie Tyrrell, l'll be bound! And-so it is. Mlle Tyrrell, world famous for her extravagant interpretation of the hitches and twitches of the Extrava- ganzaf' But that picture is erased. My crystal reveals to me a girl seated at a piano, playing. She bobs up and down and keeps her shoulders in a constant state of wriggly agitation, in accordance with the music. Hush! A peculiar sound comes to my ears. Can it be music? lt sounds more like Mr. Shaffer's description of jazz-a buzz saw going through a keg of ten-penny nails. lt is jazz! Now I see it all. lt is Leona Grignon, world's leading jazzist, playing over the radio. What new realm of vision is this which greets my inquiring eyes? To me is re- vealed a hall in the very modern and up- to-date Selah High School. At one end is an open door, leading into an office. Coming from the room are voices. Some- one, a woman, is speaking in a strangely familiar voice. Where were you sent down from ? she asks. Now comes the reply. I was sent down from French I twenty THE FRUIT SPUR Class. I see. You are a chip from the old block all right, Clifford, and I am going to do to you what Mr. Pfeifer used to do to your father. l'1l give you poetry, 100 lines. Next time l'll make it l,000. A boy, a tall blonde youngster, with blue eyes and a wicked grin, leaves the room and goes down the hall. Someone closes the office door. Oh, now I understand. That voice-of course-it's jean's! For on the door are the words, Principal-- Miss Scutt. lt is rumored that after Mr. Pfeifer, due to the awful strain, was re- moved to Steilacoom, jean nobly offered her services. Poor jean! They say she will be the next to go. Too bad! That vista slowly fades, and to my eyes is revealed another. I perceive an old woman, sitting with aged head bowed upon work-hardened hands. Her whole figure bespeaks utter dejection and despair. The pathetic old soul is Merla Clark. Poor thing! She is at present an undertaker. Many years have passed and Merla has undertaken many things and accomplished nothing. I Now that dismal picture, too, fades, and reveals- No, no! The spark! The flame! The blazing burst of light! The sign that you have finished. Well done, oh good and faithful crystal! To you belongs the glory and the praise, and heartfelt grati- tude. Fare-thee-well, oh crystal-thing of mystery, of wisdom, thee-well! and of fire-fare- JJ' Elite! Svtanharhs of the Glass of 1923 Our aim success, our hope to win Has ever been our guide.

THE FRUIT SPUR twenty-one last Twill auh illestament Probated in judge Ehrit's Court, May 29, 1923, with Miss Mary Coleman as executor and Donald Fogelquist, attomey for the executor. Know ye all-Bolsheviks, Reds, Social- ists and juniors, that this full-grown class of old maids and hen-pecked husbands do hereby dispose of everything we don't want, as follows: ARTICLE I. Since a certain member of the orchestra has made himself very popular with that section of the city, wherein he lives, by his persistent tooting upon his saxaphone from his perch on the front porch and since many of his selections are of a re- ligious nature and since we want to en- courage his work in evangelism, we be- queath this hymn book to Harry King. ARTICLE II. Since by observation we have seen that to absorb knowledge is slow work, and in view of the fact that a certain junior has met considerable difficulty along this line in past months, we leave as an absorber of knowledge this sponge to Stewart Lan- caster. ARTICLE Ill. Since a certain member in this High School has the absurd belief that life is a dream we wish to fulfill Merrill's belief by bequeathing to him Mamie Bowers. In view of the fact that paper, money and time are scarce, we will dispose of these articles in a less detailed manner- here goes: To jean Scutt we leave a spray ma- chine. To Bill Hassel, who is in quest of pain- less beauty and cleanliness, we hereby leave a bar of Tar Baby Soap. . To Maria Webber we leave an earl-y alarm clock. To Glessa Davis a recipe for a tonic to restore toneless hair: Boil one carrot, one beet, one onion in Campbell's Tomato Soup, strain and apply daily. I To Cliff johnson we leave a bottle of Speedum Linament, which is the only remedy that will remove stiffness from the jointsg one application will make him go like Dynah-might. To Dorothy Taylor we leave Rowlee's Knock-Out Powder to dispose of trouble- some boys. Since it has been noticed that Art Dris- coll has drop-sy and his head is so far from the ground we do hereby bequeath to him a magnet. To Victor jones we leave a vamping rose. We do hereby dispose of twenty-one handkerchiefs left in the Senior roll room to be washed and ironed and sewed to- gether to make a K. K. K. regalia for Clark Vail. Owing to the fact that the Senior girls are unbelievedly a catty bunch, we leave to the underclassmen this tail and our generosity also bids us to leave the me-ow. Mr. Pfeifer to adjust the pieces. Witness our hand and foot this 29th day of May, 1923. THE SENIOR CLASS. YWCHWYWO THE FRUIT SPUR Senior Qtlass bong M Tune--Love Ship l.

T H E F R U IT S P U R tvventy-five Zfuninr lass Iaistnrp We will not bother you this time with a tiresome review of our grades and Fresh- man and Sophomore years, but will imme- diately jump to the junior year for the simple reason that this year absolutely outshines all past records. The juniors have been the very word Busy ' all year. We are very proud that Stuart Lancaster, a mere junior, is Editor of the Fruitspur. There are about live juniors on the Annual Staff. Four junior girls tumed out for basket- ball, Frances Fairbanks and Ethel Ling- bloom winning letters. Four boys tumed out for basketball, Stuart Lancaster, Clif- ford johnson and Enoch Engquist winning letters, and quite a few, boys and girls both, turned out for baseball. Two class parties were given during the year, at which all asserted that they had had the time of their lives. The English III class dramatized Cooper's book, The Pathfinder, the first part of the year, and six juniors were in the Fascinating Fanny Brown. The sixth of April we committed the unusual and gave a Basket Social, making enough from the proceeds to pay all of our expenses. And so, there is the history of our junior year and we hope that at the end of our Senior year we will have done twice as much for the good of old Selah High. dal' Enniugatinn Warren Past-Saying Goo Goo.

Like a flock of lost birds, we were taken under the sheltering wings of Mr. Pugsley, who advised us through the year and showed us a good time. The Sophomores had a great deal of fun in breaking us in by giving us an initiation party. We managed to survive it all right and in return we gave them a Christmas party. The Freshmen were well represented in athletics. Both the boys and girls partly composed the teams, which made them successful. Cyril Tyrrell, a Freshman, was captain of the basketball team and Sher- man Decker, also a Freshman, was the captain-elect. Having thus made a successful year of the first one-fourth of our High School career, we all departed looking forward to the year to come. The feeling of being a Sophomore was not as great as we had anticipated. A few of our members fell along the wayside but they were replaced by others. During the year we lost several of our members, those being Carl Lowe, Grace French, . Dolly Gant and Paul Daley. lass Zlaisturp We have many shining lights in our class in the literary world. Arthur Driscol won first prize while Abbie Adley won second prize on the Lincoln essay. Sybil Wherry walked off with the second prize on the tobacco themes. Athletics were by no means slighted by the Sophomores, as they composed half of the successful teams. Harry King was elected captain of the baseball team. Soon after the school term commenced, we initiated the Freshman. They took everything good naturedly, even to eating the angle worms. The debate team owes a great deal of its success to Carl Lowe. As a debater, they could not have gotten along without him. Among those whose names appear on the honor roll are: Carl Lowe, Ward Walker and Arthur Driscol. Our two years have not been all work and no play, and it is to Miss Williams, our class advisor, we owe our good times. We wish to thank her for her faithful support through the year. Now having spent two happy years to- gether, we hope that all of us will con- tinue standing together for two more. .af Clllass Bull Abbie Adley Della Anderson Florence Bounsall Mamie Bower john Bowman Neva Clark Wava Clark ,Beulah Copeland Glessa Davis Arthur Driscoll Grace French Miriam Hancock Sylvia Harris William Hassell Hazel ,jaquith Clifford johnson jay johnson Victor jones William Kerns Merrill Lavendar Leonard Lince Francis Marsh Sydney Martin Pearl Mathis Everal Parker Willard Pierce Vinnie Posey Lucile Snider X ,C Clark Vail Ward Walker Sybil Wherry Lerona Wood li FRUIT S I' U R this Yhifiylwo THE FRUIT SPUR .

In one way we felt that we were quite G-R-E-E-N, but in another way felt quite important. About a week after school started we decided that we would show the other classes that we weren't as insignificant as they thought, so we pro- ceeded to elect our class officers. George Sutherland was chosen to fill the most im- portant chair, that being class president. Delia Miller was chosen as vice-president, and Robert Cowie as secretary-treasurer. On the night of October the 13th, the dignified Sophomores decided to take out their spite on us innocent Freshmen. Out- side of getting a little frightened, we en- joyed the evening very much. In the latter part of December, the Christmas All-High Party was given. Mr. Pfeifer acted as Santa Claus and pre- sented each one of us with a nice present. After playing games, we went home. Soon basketball season started, and a series of winter class contests were held. The Freshman class won second place. The Frosh class tumed out players for both teams. They were Dorothy Taylor and jannett King on the girls' team, and Oswald Lince, Arthur Mowery, Oliver johnson and Clinton Dry on the boys' team. After basketball season was over, a banquet was given in honor of the players. In February, the Mutt and jeff party was given as a result of the Mutt and jeff contest. We played games, then we divided into groups and each group gave a stunt. Then refreshments were served. The party then broke up and we were all satisfied that it was a success. Spring came, and baseball and track came with it. The class turned out four players on the baseball team. They were Forrest Hysom, George Sutherland, Clin- ton Dry and Charles Snider. These boys also turned out for track. Several Fresh- men girls made the girls' baseball team. Next year we will get even by giving a more scary initiation party to the un- fortunate Freshmen. We have three years more in school, and we hope to hold our place in athletics. This ends a very suc' cessful year. .af Clllass Bull Thelma Andrews Helen Bowman Marjorie Brown Robert Cowie Clinton Dry Lois Gant Harold Haines Margaretha Weinsoth Vernon Heinsott Forrest Hysom jannett King Irene Kirby Dorothy Lavendar Verna Lince Marvia Lingbloom Emerson Martinell Delia Miller Marion Miller Harold Miller Bernard Morton Arthur Mowry Martin Olson Betty Rose Sterling Saunders Frank Scutt Robert Simpson Charles Snider George Sutherland Dorothy Taylor Ruth Vail Frank Walker Leroy Wood E FRUIT SPUR thin THE FRUIT SPUR ll1i11N will it Z F1 7s K , h L ,li T f'f7?? if',.p:,f f-'.

The High School presented on the nights of October the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth a strikingly clever comedy, The Fascinating Fanny Brown. The cast was made up of some of the best talent in the Sophomore, junior and Senior classes, and each member was well chosen as was shown by the success of the play. Miss Wakefield and Mrs. Roulee plainly showed their ability as coaches in their faithful training of the cast and deserve much credit for the success of the play. The cast was amply repaid for their ef- forts by benefiting the Student Body with the proceeds.

This was the first party of the school year and proved to be one of the best. The faculty added to the merriment of the evening by giving an impromptu program which the Entertain- ment Committee requested them to give. Senior The Senior Class had their party for the first semester at Hallowe'en. Each mem- ber ofthe class invited a friend and a jolly crowd gathered at the sewing room which was decorated with spooky ghosts, witches and black cats-everything which would product the ghostly, spooky feeling neces- F' sary for a successful Hallowe'en party. Games and various forms of amusements were fumished by the Entertainment Committee and during the closing hour dainty refreshments were served by the people in charge. Junior The juniors also held their party in the sewing room, but one would never guess a sewing class held sway there after the Decoration Committee had transformed it into a garden by the use of the class colors-purple and white. Novel games were fumished by the Entertainment Committee, of which Gladys Fields was chairman. Alice Walker, chairman of the Refreshment Committee, with the help of her other members, served pie and cocoa at the close of the evening. Everyone wished the committees in charge would again in the near future entertain the class and their friends with such a delightful party. f0ffY-fW0 THE FRUIT SPUR Zllbbigb iBartp Of course we all had a good time at our Christmas Party because Santa Claus was there and gave every last one of us a Christmas present. Whistles, drums, horns, everything with which to have a good time was furnished by Santa Claus and with the help of a few games the evening passed all too quickly. All of us were glad when we were served hot cocoa and wafers, which put the finishing touch to a pleasant evening. jllllutt anh Sleff Oh, yes, we all know the jeffs had to entertain the Mutts because they lost the contest and they gave us a good party, toog so, of course, we are glad we beat them. l'm sure everyone had a good time, for all they had to do was to smile and join the ranks of merry makers and they couldn't help but forget their worries and be gay. We may say, without doubt, that the cake and salad furnished by the Re- freshment Committee were the best eats that have ever been served at a school party. igaskethall Banquzt Because of the work they did during the past season and to show our spirit toward them, we gave our basketball teams a banquet. The Social Committee had charge of the work and they put it over with a bang because the girls of the school helped with a good spirit. Mr. Pfeifer acted as toastmaster, several out- side speakers gave their dilferent views upon basketball and the captains-elect gave the review of the season and the prospects for next year's teams. x Vffffl. gllllllllism T H E F R U I T S P U R f01'i5'-fllfvl' Ted Powell Vivian Mueller Carl Lowe . . 9. ZBBTJHR 1922-23 Selah debated this year on the state question, f'Resolved, That the federal em- ployment service should be extended and co-ordinated with state and local labor ex- changes. Selah's first debate was with Naches at Naches, November 10, 1922. A large crowd of loyal Selah students went to the debate, in which Selah upheld the nega- tive and was given the unanimous deci- sion of the judges. The second debate was with Roslyn at Selah. Selah was again vitorious, argu- ing the affirmative. The third contest of the season was at Mabton, February 2, 1923. Here Selah, arguing the affirmative, met defeat for the first time of the season. The negative was given the judges' unanimous decision. The last debate was with Wapato. at Selah. Selah upheld the negative and was again victorious, receiving all three of the judges' decisions. Debate is an activity with which Selah has fared well in the last three years and what Selah has done in debate is due mainly to her coach, Mr. Pfeifer. An ex- perienced debater himself, he has given unsparingly of his time in trying to de- velop that power in others, and the debate team owes much to their coach. Vivian Mueller, the veteran debater, with three years' experience, was without doubt the star debater. Her arguments were not lacking in force and proved to be the deciding factor in more than one de- bate. Although Selah did not win the debat- ing championship this year, she did very well in that activity, ranking only second at the end of the year. Selah won three debates out of a possible four, receiving nine judges' decisions out of twelve. Mab- ton received the same number, but Mab- ton was victorious in all her debates and so was awarded the championship of the district. forty-four T H E F R U IT S P U R Mr. Pfeifer, Coach THE FRUIT SPUR f0ff5'-fiVC A 'Y-rftx' XX 2 'Q L Si fb JL oft -tu, I A x-f-'fx KN- f 1 iw W G W 1 Tile , cgi 1 A 0 .1 QA!

The Selah team had a fairly successful season considering the fact that the year was started with only two lettermen back. Coach Rowlee had a good team built up when three of the first team failed in their subjects, with only two weeks left before the opening game of the season. I-le then had to rebuild the team. Selah lost only one game on their own floor, and that was to Yakima, the fifth best team in the state, but failed to win a game away from home on account of better floors. 001 5 f.J 0 X 'x fi i1gq,:, , , .1116 , .gm h5:F.'fi,,,,5O0 gy' ! s ,t UL fir S f w...?- i u 1 X A x, .

It has been a season in which, under the direction of Coach Rowlee, the girls have developed a team capable of many vic- tories in the coming year. Mona Kelly, captain, playing in the position of forward, established a record when she made an average of twenty points a game. Much credit is due all the players for their team work, their quick action and finally their sportsmanship, which takes a defeat with as good grace as a victory. As for victories, with the exception of two games, the season has been one glori- ous triumph and the support of the team has been unanimous throughout the High School. fifty THE FRUIT SPUR Selah at Lower Naches.

Selah has de- feated each team once and has a good chance to defeat them again. The team will be in good shape for next year as no member of the team graduates.

Selah has never had a track team and this year Coach Rowlee de- cided to see what he could do, so made a call for track. Twelve men turned out and because of the fact that most of the boys were also on the baseball team, track was held one night and baseball next. Coach Rowlee by hard work built up a team that defeated Naches City. In this meet six men showed up so well that Coach Rowlee decided to take them to Pullman to the State meet to be held there May 5. Those making the trip are Charles Snider, Willard Pierce, Harry King, Stuart Lancaster, Enoch Engquist and Everal Parker Qcaptainb. The Annual goes to press before the State meet was held so no writeup can be given except that the relay team composed of Snider, Pierce, King and Lancaster has a good chance to place at the meet. Charles Snider, star dash man, has a good chance to place in the hundred yard dash. At the Naches meet he ran it in 10.2, which is excellent time for high school ath- letes. Coach Rowlee intends to take a ten-man fifty-Six THE FRUIT SPUR team to the Valley meet at Yakima May 12th. Everal Parker was chosen track captain of this year's squad. Those who will prob- ably go and the events they will enter are: Charles Snider, dashesg Willard Pierce, vs dashesg Enoch Engquist, pole vault and mileg Stewart Lancaster, weights and re- layg Harry King, 2:20 and relayg Cliff johnson and George Sutherland, hurdlesg Forest Hysom and jay johnson, weightsg Ted Powell, 4403 William Hassel, half mileg Everal Parker, half and mile.

As a matter of fact, the best student in the class happens to be a girl. However, the boys have been doing excellent work and several girls have been fondly eyeing a number of hope chests that the boys have made. The department is composed of manual training and mechanical drawing. Me- chanical drawing is required of every one, since they must make a detailed drawing of whatever they intend to make before they start to work on it. Those who took manual training in the grades are lucky, for they can start right in on more difficult work. The art itself develops the constructive faculties of the student and goes toward making him more accurate. A slight mis- take in his work is visible to the naked eye and he tries to make his next piece better. This will become a habit in time and will serve to make him more accurate in all things. Mr. Fogelquist deserves a great deal of credit for the splendid work turned out by his pupils and the high school as a body certainly appreciates his help. ga t Bnmestie Science Domestic Science is divided into two departments, namely, sewing and cooking. Both departments are in about equal favor with the girls and both have been a success. The Sewing Department has accom- plished a great deal this year not only with their regular work but special work as well. They have made the sewing room more pleasant by making new curtains and purchasing several charts pertaining to different phases of sewing. Window boxes have been placed in the windows, which add considerably to the appearance of the room. The girls have shown a great deal of interest in their work and by doing so have made sewing a study worth while. The Cooking Department has an un- usual attraction for the girl who delights in cooking. This year the cooking class has made several trips. One which was especially interesting to them was made to the Cascade Creamery, where, after having been shown the process of butter- making, they were each presented with an icecream bar. Several girls, not of the class, soon expressed their desire to join. They also made a trip to jim's Meat Market, where they were shown the different cuts of meat. The cooking class girls should be remembered for their aid in helping to prepare and for serving the Basketball Banquet Dinner. They have been willing at all times to help in any way they could and should receive due credit for doing so. Sixlr THE FRUIT SPUR Girls' lull The object of the club shall be to foster a spirit of cooperation and friendliness among the girls and to develop an active loyalty to highest interests of the school. Despite the fact that the Girls Club is a new organization we are all working very hard for it and we hope that it is going to be a tremendous success. Officers for this year are: Merla Clark, presidentg janett King, vice-presidentg Abbie Adley, secretary, and Edith Doyle, treasurer. Miss Wakefield is the girls' advisor. Several committees have been ap- pointed to carry on different phases of work. These committees are: Social Ser- vice, Society, Dramatics, Proper Conduct, Student Advisory and Vocational. Four representatives were sent to the University of Washington to attend a Girls Club conference there. They were: Mae Smith, Hallie Mae Snider, Edith Doyle and Gladys Fields. They learned many things from the conference but the most valuable of all was the splendid spirit of cooperation among the college students. T H li FRU IT S P U R hiN15 U'H girls' Else Cliluh The Girls' Glee Club was organized during September with an enrollment of sixteen members, with Mrs. Spaberg as directress, and Merla Clark as president. During the year the club made several appearances. The first of these was at the High School play, The Fascinating Fanny Brown, when the girls sang the Barcarolle,' from the Tales of Hoffman. Following appearances were at the Faculty play, debates, and a number of assem- blies. During one of these assemblies, a rather clever Hawaiian skit, which had been prepared by the girls, was given. Ha- waiian songs. to the accompaniment of Hawaiian stringed instruments played by Dorothy Anderson, Alice Gross, and Vic- tor jones, were sung. The girls wore brightly colored ties to better carry out the Hawaiian effect. For the most part, trios have been sung. Consequently the singers were divided into three groups. Those who composed the soprano group were: Beth Ambrosen, Glessa Davis, Ruth Vail, Vinnie Posey, Neva Clark and Wava Clark. The second soprano consisted of Charlotte Ambrosen and Frances Marsh, while those singing alto are Dorothy Anderson, Maria Weber and Nlerla Clark.

The sea was calm and the small gay ship wallowed easily in the oily troughs. It was a beautiful ship to look at, long and slender as a greyhound with slender masts pointing upward towards the sky. This was no ordinary merchantman built for heavy cargoes and heavy seas. It was a pirates' ship of ships built for speed and service in rough waters. In the gray twilight many had seen it glide past qui- etly and indistinctly as a phantom, there- fore the name, Gray Phantom, but none could give a clear description of it because of its speed, and gray color that blended with the distant horizon of sea and sky. On this bright morning the ship did not slide swiftly through the sea, instead, it rose and fell in the quiet and steady un- dulations of the ocean. On board all was merry among the men. just as the ship was no ordinary ship the crew was no ord- inary crew. All of the men were big brutes hardened by a lifetime of toil on the seas of the globe. Each man had a reputation for daring and cmelty among the sailors they had come in contact with. Each had a list of killings behind his name, as results of drunken brawls in dif- ferent seaports. They had become care- less in the spilling of human blood and for this reason they had been picked for this adventure ship. The captain was a huge and powerful man and kept his crew in order easily for he was feared by every- one. He was a splendid specimen of man- hood, standing six feet and five inches in his stocking feet. His shoulders were so broad he had to tum sideways when walk- ing through an average size doorway. His strong arms reached almost to his knees and his large hands had never yet been squeezed by more powerful ones. He was not ordinarly brutal, except when his terrible temper was aroused, and now walked about the ship with a genial smile on his face. He was the only sober man on the ship because the night before a gold and wine laden French merchant- man had been captured and now the crew were celebrating by being drunk. As the Bloody Swede, for so the captain was called by his enemies, walked around his deck, watching the antics of his drunk- en men, his attention was attracted by a greater commotion than usual at the stern of the boat. Striding toward the group he saw two men cautiously circling about each other with knives in their hands. When one of the two made a sud- den thrust and drew blood from his oppo- nent, the drunken onlookers howled with fiendish glee and became so absorbed in shaking hands and pounding backs that they did not observe their captain ap- proaching with a stern scowl upon his face. Before any warning could be given he had each of the fighters by the necks and THE FRUIT SPUR sixty-11i110 was shaking them till their teeth rattled. Then he shoved the two humiliated men from him and dispersed the sullen crowd of sailors, who had expected to see a fight to the finish. For the rest of that day and the next night the captain let his ship drift and his men sleep off the effects of their drunk- en spree. The next morning a fresh breeze sprang up and the ship sailed for- ward. All that day the ship rushed thru the waters in a steady course, but late in the afternoon a sail was sighted by the lookout and the ship's course was altered to overhaul the Spanish galleon, for such the fleeing ship was seen to be. As the Gray Phantom leaped to the chase a new expression came over the faces of the sailors. Gone were the looks of sullen hatred cast toward the captain and an expression of tense eagerness came over their countenances. Even the two would-be killers forgot their mutual griev- ance toward the captain and looked for- ward with greedy eagerness to the cap- ture. The great galleon was seen a short distance ahead laboring under the stress of full sails and a great shout went up from the throats of the expectant pirates. As the pirate ship got within range of the Spaniard they sent a shot over the galleon's prow as a warning to stop. It did not stop, however, and when the Gray Phantom came closer and delivered some more shot into the hull of the galleon the pirates were surprised to be answered with a whole broadside from hidden guns on the larger ship. When the pirates saw that this was to be no tame capture their hearts were gladdened, for they loved a The Bloody of the pirate fight above everything else. Swede sprang to the helm craft and maneuvered it alongside of the galleon. As the two ships were locked to- gether the pirates jumped to the deck of the Spaniard, armed to the teeth with long knives and horse pistols. The captain him- self led the pirates and was the first man to reach the opposing sailors. He flayed the men with a huge sword until the ene- my scattered like chaff before the wind. The pirates, following the example of their leader, fell to and hacked and hewed until not a Spaniard was left alive. When the last of the dead bodies had been dumped overboard the pirates scrambled down the holds and reappeared with large bundles of silk, and gold and silver vessels. As the captain was standing, watching his men unload the galleon, he heard a stealthy tread behind him and before he could turn he was hit on the head with an iron bar and all became dark. When he regained consciousness he was lying on his back with his hands and feet tied. The pirates had finished loading their own ship and now they were grouped about their fallen chief, all of their old hatred showing in their faces. At the first sign of retum- ing consciousness the pirates lifted him onto his feet, and untying the ropes about his legs, they led him to the edge of the high deck. Here a plank had been placed out over the edge and instantly the cap- tain knew what fate the treacherous crew had reserved for him, but not a sign of fear could the pirates detect on his face. His eyes were blindfolded and his feet placed on the end of the plank, then he was forced to walk the plank in the same manner he had made his victims walk. He walked straight ahead for a short ways un- til suddenly one of his feet came down in thin air and he felt himself falling-fall- ing into limitless space. With a loud shriek the sleepinghecktie clerk woke up and found himselflying on the floor beside his narrow bed in a New York tenement. Some dream, he muttered as he picked himself up and remembered the cause-a whole mince pie such as 'mother never used to make, devoured the night before at the Home-Made Inn. Seventy THE FRUIT SPUR The rpah ut the ell When lonely or at outs with the world in general, I had only to repair to the Dell and there rest mind and body in the tranquil peace of warm sunlight and leafy shade, with moist green turf beneath and blue sky above. Oh, to lay stretched out, my head in the shade of Friendly Tree, and my feet bathed in mellow sunshine! There, with the breeze whispering among the leaves, the playful babble of the brook, and fragrant wild rose petals fall- ing, I would dream and doze and finally emerge again into the outer world, whole- minded and at peace once more. Today, when every tiny bit of life seemed fairly tingling with the joy of these last glorious days of spring, thoughts of the Dell returned again and again to my mind. The Friendly Tree I so loved as a boy, the gold finch that built its nest every year in the rosebushes, the crystal spring from which Babbling Brook flowed, all lured me back again. It was hard to realize that the Dell was no longer mine. Because my work in the city claimed all my time, I had been obliged to part with the Dell, along with the few acres that remained of the farm I had loved to roam over as a boy. I won- dered with strange misgivings if New Neighbor's ox and cattle had by now in- vaded the little spot where from childhood to early manhood I had dreamed and dared. What high, holy thoughts it had inspired, what lofty aims and strong reso- lutions had grown under the influence of the tranquil Dell! Once more I yielded to its spell and found myself wandering over the familiar paths that led to my favorite haunt. To my joy, I found it intact, quite the same dell so dear to the heart of my childhood and dearer now, as those things we behold for the last time become dear. A throbbing sensation filled my veins as I explored again nooks familiar of old. Perhaps it was because I knew that I was seeing for the last time this favorite spot, where since childhood I had come to dream my dreams and build my castles, close to my Creator, that it seemed strange in its very vividness. I gazed with my eyes not quite clear at those things that had been such an invaluable part of my life. How symbolic they were-Friendly Tree, Crystal Spring and the nest in the rosebushes-of Strength, Comfort and Love. Out of the quietude came a discordant note-a footstep crunching loudly on the twigs. I looked around and discerned be- tween the tall bushes, New Neighbor with his ax over his shoulder. Ah, I thought, turning quickly, it has come! My Dell, my Dell! In that moment it seemed alive to me. I had a sudden notion that I was about to witness the fated betrayal of an old friend. I would have turned to flee before my presence was known, but something in the very atmosphere arrested me. A deserter or a traitor--no, it could not be! Hullo, said New Neighbor pleasantly, a little surprised. Hello, I returned, hesitatingly. Were -were you going to cut down the Dell ? Huh ? He looked at me with an odd grin on his face, as though not quite com- prehending. I explained my fears more concisely. Why, yes, he answered. This little corner is rather in the way as it is. I can make use of that spring for the stock, too. O, please, I implored hurriedly, this is-er-you know, this has always been a favorite spot with me. I-would you- look here! I know this is your land, but I am going to ask you to do me a favor. I am sentimental about this place and I wonder if you would put off clearing it until I am gone? I go tomorrow. Again New Neighbor looked at me T H E F R U I T S P U R seventY'0'10 queerly, but he was good-natured if he did not appreciate a beautiful bit of nature. - 4'Why, sure, he said, pleasantly, as be- fore, no hurry, and turned and walked back. I drew a deep breath-somehow I had felt like a fool-a man does not generally get so sentimental. Again I looked around at the Dell, try- ing to recall the pleasant sensation I had reveled in before the interruption. But in vain, l saw only silent, unexpressive brown tree-trunk and cold shadow casting over all an air of vague, hostile aloofness, where all had been warm and congenial. In the uneasy silence it seemed that the Dell was holding its breath in angry antici- pation. In vain I tried to regain my com- posure-a panicky sense raced over me. I looked about to see if anyone had wit- nessed my strange deception. I had an unreasonable notion that I was being watched by invisible eyes. The situation became uncanny-relentless eyes were peering at me from tree and bush, their penetrating gaze fastened on my very mind. It was as though, if I should move a muscle, the conflicting spirits inhabiting trees and bushes would spring at me and reduce the fibers of my mind to shreds and scatter my senses like so many help- less leaves left to wither upon the turf. Thought was terrifying, my heart was swelled to bursting from suffocation. There was a dread sense of lurking evil in this hitherto friendliest of dells. I longed to scream, to flee, but that stern, unyielding fear bound my every will. Un- canny? Surely! The hushed whisper of the breeze among the leaves, the changing shadows on the grass, the faint, unsteady murmur of water filled me with fantastic dread, as though something-spirits-were whis- pering and tiptoeing stealthily about- their eyes ever on me. Finally I could stand it no longer and flung myself, headlong, through the bushes, out into the open meadow. There was a great rush and stir behind me, as of the cries of millions of leaves in the whirl of an angry wind. Though the cries be- came a roar, I did not turn. Across the field I ran, with what I fear was ridiculous speed, straight up to astonished New Neighbor. Say, I burst out, breathless, I want to buy back the Dell. I may never see it again but I want to know that it's always just as I left it-and mine! Then, strangely, my composure reas- serted itself and quite calmly I explained my attachment to the Dell. New Neigh- bor seemed at last to understand and not only sold me back my Dell, but endeared himself to me forever by offering to see that it should always remain intact-for ITIS. With a happy heart, I hurried back. Every moment was precious time to me but I could not go back to work with those awful minutes for my last memory of the Dell. But when I found myself again in its presence, gone was even the recollection of that dread fear. My happiness seemed reflected in the very atmosphere and friendliness of green, Friendly Tree, Babbling Brook and patches of warm sunshine and shadow on the brown-green turf. As I again looked lovingly on the familiar features, a rosy glow seemed to suffuse all. I stretched my hand out from the fullness of my heart and vowed eternal allegiance to its won- derous spell. And then-oh, blessing! As I gazed upon all, the glow seemed to concentrate and in a thrice I saw before me the most beautiful maiden that ever appeared to mortal eyes. Sunny brown curls fell from her lovely head, dark eyes glowed beneath fair brow and delicate lips were parted in a rosebud smile. The color lay on her cheeks as wild rose petals, and neck and shoulders, beautifully turned and tinted, were flecked with leafy shadow. Never had one beheld such ethereal lovelinessg love, gratitude and purity radiated in the soft glow about her. As I gazed into the depths of the soft, dark eyes my heart bounded with their transient beauty. No word was uttered and I held my breath lest I break the spell, but into my soul flowed peace, love and security and filled me with understanding, deep and clear SCVCUYY-fW0 T H E F R U I T S P U R And then in a moment, gently, as though to leave me unconscious of its passing, the beautiful image vanished in a glow, as it had come. But the sensation that had filled me re- mained and the atmosphere about me radiated that same sense of peace, love and security. From God's blue sky the warm sunlight flooded down upon the Dell, flecking the brown-green turf with leafy shadow. The breezes whispered among the leaves and Babbling Brook murmured to itself as a happy child, playing over the white peb- bles at the feet of the rosebushes where the last wild roses, with their sweet, quiet fragrance, modestly reflected the lonely beauty of the Dryad of the Dell. dd' The Zglue Gang Some of the members of the Alkali Club were discussing The Blue Gang. The Alkali Club was Chicago's most exclusive men's club. One member was telling what was known of the Blue Gang. The police believe that there are about twenty of them, including their advance agents. Some of these are women. They pick on the richest families only and more than two are never seen at one place. It is uncanny how they always know when a fellow has money around the house. They never come when the owner is away from home. While he was talking, the four members of the Blue Gang, as they were called, could have been seen holding a conference in the second story of the Houde, Chi- cago's best hotel. jack Addams, the leader, was a clean- shaven, middle-aged man of about five- foot eight. He weighed over one hundred and seventy, yet there was not an ounce of surplus flesh on him. It was the same with the other three save that one was not over twenty. The younger man was the statistician. He did none of the actual robbing but gathered facts as to the past life of some of Chicago's richest and most influential men. He was a member of all the best clubs and was well liked. He distributed the stolen goods among the needy. He was reading off names of some of the big men of Chicago. jonathan Brazelton, profiteer, made money by charging excessive rents of poor tenants. Here he was interrupted by jack Addams. He'll dog let's get him to- night. The others agreed promptly that he was the man. That night jake Blandon drove their high-powered limousine to the mansion of jonathan Brazelton. The other two pulled on their blue velvet suits while on the way. jake drove the car up into the drive- way and turned around before they alighted. Then they went through a big French window, into the library of jonathan Brazelton. They knew right where to go because of the description given by their advance agent. When Brazelton saw them he became as white as death, he couldn't move, he couldn't cry out, for he feared for his paltry dollars, if there ever was a miser, jonathan Brazelton was he. Go and open the safe and be quick about it, jack ordered. As Brazelton feared ,Iack's gun more then he feared for his petty money, he obeyed, silently. In the safe there was eleven thousand dollars. When this had been safely stowed away in jack's valise, he said, We will come again soon, then we will come the third time. Beware of the third time! A hundred officers of the law will not pro- T H E F R U I T S P U R seventy-three tect such a thief as you. You are worse than a thief, for you steal from the poor. You may say that we are thieves, we are, but we only even things up. We take from you what you take from the others then we give it to them. Beware! Then they left by the same means that they came. The money was turned over to the advance agent for distribution. Old Man Brazelton called in the police. They looked around for clues but could find none. When told it was the Blue Gang, they went home, having said a great deal and-done nothing. In despair, Brazelton called up a private detective company and hired three men to protect him. One week later, as he was completing a real estate deal, he left orders that no one but the agent might enter the library. The agent came and the deeds were signed. The agent gave him bills for twelve thousand nine hundred dollars and he turned to deposit it in the little safe. He never deposited the bills in the safe, for before him stood the Blue Gang. Their pistols were leveled straight at Brazelton and the agent. Give me those bills, jack demanded, and be quick! Don't make.a sound or you are a dead man. This is our second visit, prepare for the third. Here he was interrupted by one of the detectives just outside the door, asking, ls everything all right, Mr. Brazelton? jack whispered in Brazelton's ear. Say yes or you'll die!,' So Brazelton replied, aloud, Yes, everything is O. K. Then jack said, Remember that this is our second visit, beware of the third. However, I will tell you how to avoid the third visit. At the present time you own fifty-seven small houses, turn the deeds over to the persons living there within ten days, also reduce the rent in all your tenement houses twenty-five per cent. Now as to you, you human parasite, you are to quit business and retire or you will be visited and your third time will come first. Then they left in their car. Brazelton called in the detectives but they could do nothing. However, one of them had seen the car but thought it the agent's. He described it to the police and they began their search. They found a limousine such as de- scribed by the detective with three well- dressed gentlemen inside, besides the driver. The youngest merely handed them his card. The name they recognized as that of one of Chicago's highlights. They drove on unmolested to the Hotel Haute. dal' Ghz 1Brufessnr's augbter Roseville, a small town in the Middle West, had a good high school, one that was the pride of the town. Now, in the dusk, Lucy West was hurrying home from the high school, where she had stayed for some extra work. She was a tall girl, with thick, black hair hanging down her back in one large braid which was tied securely at the end with a thread. Her dress, made up of middy and skirt, appeared to be of a non- de-script variety. Two or three thick and heavy books were to be seen in her arms. The top one was an advanced edition of solid geometry which, however, belonged to her father, as in Roseville High School the girls did not take any mathematics be- yond algebra. Under the maples, which lined the walk, went Lucy, her hair flying behind her, as she broke into an impatient run. After five o'clock! What will Father say, she said to herself as she entered a rather large house set in the midst of beautiful trees. Professor West at this instant was not SCVCHYY-f0Uf THE FRUIT SPUR thinking of saying anything, however, for one glance into the library assured Lucy that her father was deep in his reading. A few minutes later Lucy faced her father across the supper table. The food, served by Hanna, the one servant in the West household, was soon eaten, for both father and daughter seemed anxious to finish and go to their respective pleasures. In her room again, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. For once her father had not asked her to work geometrical problems after the evening meal. Usually Lucy went to the library with him and there for the next two hours she worked proposi- tions which her father selected. Mr. West was professor of geometry in the Rose- ville High School, and he was well known in the mathematical world. Locking her bedroom door so that she would be safe from interruption, Lucy took from a large chest a box, the kind that a girl or woman immediately recog- nizes as coming from a select and ex- pensive shop, which contained feminine apparel. This box was opened and she carefully lifted out from folds of tissue paper a yellow evening gown. Further search in the chest disclosed yellow stock- ings and slippers to match the dress. Half an hour later Lucy faced herself in the mirror and beheld a stranger. Her thick hair she had dressed carefully on top of her head and this alone was enough to change her appearance. The yellow costume, indeed, suited Lucy's black eyes and hair. How glad I am Aunt Nancy sent me this dress for my birthday, she mused. The high school's last dance of the year is to be given in two weeks and now I can go because of Aunt Nancy's thought- fulness. She certainly knew what I had wished for, and, taking a letter from her desk, Lucy scanned it for the twentieth time. One paragraph in particular she read, at last reading it out loud: 'As you are about the same size as I, I am sending you an evening frock with everything to go with it. I am sure that it will Ht you. The slippers I am rather doubtful about, but I got them a size smaller than mine, so I guess they will be all right. I am also sending you hairpins, powder and cream, because I know that your father insists on your dressing like a little girl for school, and therefore you haven't any of those articles. Dances and parties are entirely different, however, so I am sure he will permit you to accept them.' Aunt Nancy was right, said Lucy, put- ting down the letter, for father said that I might 'fix up,' as he called it, for the dance, to my heart's desire. If only there were enough boys to go around. This is my first year at Roseville and most of the boys have been paired off with the girls for at least two years. The only boy I know of that isn't, is a stranger here, too. Oh, well, Ned Allen will probably ask Eva Curtiss to go to the dance with him, for I have seen them together several times lately. At school the next morning, as Lucy entered the girls' cloakroom, she saw Eva Curtiss and her chum, Helen Lee, who were earnestly discussing a coming base- ball game. Oh, I'm sure Roseville High will win, because we have the best pitcher in the valley, exclaimed Helen. l'Yes, agreed Eva, Ned Allen is the best pitcher Roseville or any other school has had for a long time. The dance in the evening after the game is sure to be a success, and if we win there will probably be a grand march to open it, Ned Allen leading. Are you coming with him, Eva? Don't know, I'm sure, replied Eva, tossing her pretty blond head. Come on, let's go up to our room. As the girls turned they saw Lucy for the first time and they nodded to her as they passed. Wonder if she's coming to the dance, Lucy heard Helen whisper. She didn't come to the Christmas dance. Probably didn't have anything decent to wear, judg- ing by the sort of things she wears to school. . I suppose that's it, agreed Eva, and maybe none of the boys asked her to come with them. I don't see why they should, she added, a little spitefullyg she isn't T H E F R U I T S P U R Seventy-five a bit pretty and she's studying all the time-a regular grind, I say. Lucy'c face flushed as she heard the last words and she whispered to herself, I wonder if it's because I study hard that no one likes me. I don't care, I'm coming to that dance, even if some boy doesn't ask me to come with him. There isn't much hopes of that, I guess, she finished, re- membering Eva's words. The next day was Saturday and Lucy found time hanging heavily on her hands. Finally she took a book and went out into the yard and climbed into a large tree, where, several feet from the ground, a comfortable seat had been made by plac- ing some boards across two large limbs. After putting a cushion behind her head as she leaned against the trunk of the tree, Lucy found herself studying the house next door, instead of reading as she had intended to do. She knew the owner of the neighboring place, Mrs. O'Brien, an Irish widow who took in boarders in order to earn a few dollars a week. King Arthur, the tree in which Lucy was sitting, was near the fence between the two houses and the girl was on about the same level as one of the second story windows of the Widow O'Brien's house. Mrs. O'Brien said last night that she had one of the high school boys for a boarder now. I wonder who it is? thought Lucy. As if in answer to her question the win- dow opposite was thrown violently open and a boy stuck his brown head out. This air feels good after hard study, but I guess I need more than fresh air to make me know anything, he said. Then, as he saw the girl in the tree he continued, Why, hello! Are you out for an airing, too? Say, I ought to know your name, but I can't remember it now. Oh, you're Professor West's daughter, aren't you? Yes, I am Lucy West. Mrs. O'Brien told me she had a new boarder but she for- got to mention that it was the famous ball player, Ned Allen. Maybe she didn't recognize my fame, laughed the boy, but the next moment his face was grave again. I guess I won't be on the team much longer, tho', if things keep on as they have been. I do want to play in the next game, but I guess there's no help for such a dunce as I. What's the trouble. Failing in some- thing? Geometry, That's too bad. Don't you want some help? Want help? echoed Ned. I should say I do. Professor West does explain the propositions to me but I can't work them the next day. If you'll bring your book, and some pencils and paper, I'll help you all I can, Lucy told him. It would be awful if our team lost the game. But this is solid geometry, that I'm stuck in, protested the boy. I didn't think any of the girls took it. I don't in school, but I usually work a problem or two every night. Father wants me to be able to do some of the higher mathematics, so if you'll come over, I'll help you as best I can. All right, said the boy and his head disappeared from view. A few minutes later he was also seated in old King Arthur and Lucy was teach- ing geometry to the best of her ability. I'll help you every day after school, if possible then. If not, after supper, Lucy said. I couldn't bear to think of Roseville losing the game. It's lucky for me that Uncle had to go away and I came to board with Mrs. 0'Brian, remarked Ned. I can't begin to thank you for helping me, and I am sure with you as my teacher, geometry will be easier. The lessons continued up to the eve of the game and great was Lucy's joy when Allen told her that he had been improving enough so that he was per- mitted to play the next afternoon. At three o'clock the next day when both teams came on the field there was vast excitement and cheering among the fans. The opposing team from the Lincoln High School, in a neighboring town, had many friends there, also, and deep were their groans when Roseville won after a close game with a score of 6 to 3. 'The students of Roseville were over- joyed with their victory and ran out on the field where they formed a large ser- SCVCIWY-SiX T H E F R U I T S P U R pentine and marched off, waving their crimson and white banners and singing school songs. The girls did not linger long, however, for the dance, the last dance of the year, was only about four hours off, and that wasn't very long for one to dress and be ready to go when their escort called at seventy-thirty. It was nearly eight o'clock and Helen and Eva, standing with their escorts, in the large room where the dance was to be held, were watching the young people come in. Wonder where the hero is? asked David Evans, a large fellow who had brought Helen Lee. Who, Allen? asked the other boy. Sure, jack, who else could I mean after the plays he made today? If it had not been for Ned Allen, Roseville would have lost the game, returned Dave. All the players and their girls are to form a march to open the dance, which is supposed to begin in five minutes. If Ned doesn't hurry up maybe he will lose the first place, said Eva. Do you know who he asked to come with him? inquired Helen. I am sure that it wasn't any of the girls in our crowd. Nearly every one is here, now. I if' wonder what's keeping the old boy ? said jack. Helen, have you noticed that little grind, the professor's daughter, come in, asked Eva. I don't suppose she had anything fit to wear and it is not at all likely that any- one would ask her to come, returned Helen. What did you say jack? I can't lis- ten to you and Helen at the same time? I said, Eva, that it was a good thing for Roseville High that Ned Allen has im- proved in his studies lately. The coach told him unless he did better in them, especially geometry, that there would be no more baseball for him. Listen! the orchestra is tuning up. Oh, why doesn't Ned Allen come? If he isn't here the march will be a fail- ure, cried Helen, but even as she spoke and the orchestra burst forth into a march the big doors at the lower end of the hall opened and the baseball players, with the girls of their choice, marched into the room. Leading them was Ned Allen and beside him, who was it? The girls blinked when they beheld the vision in yellow, the grind, the professor's daughter.
