H E TATTLER t c THE TATTLER” STAFF Page Seven THE TATTLER l’age Right THE TATTLER THE TATTLER Early Days in St. Anthony The history of the development of the towns and cities of the West perforce has been intimately connected with some form of production of Mother Earth herself, and it might be truthfully said of them that they are close to the soil. The earlier settlements of the West were founded, had their being, and in some instances continue to have their being solely because of some ore strike; and many of this kind have come and gone. The early pioneer was lured westward by the desire for sudden riches and the easier these could be ob- tained the more alluring was the field. Wherever these attractions proved to be lasting and mines of importance were de- veloped, cities of considerable proportions quickly grew; and wherever large urban populations are, there also is the demand for the necessities of life, and the trades- man and the producer of food stuffs is drawn there by natural laws. Cities, to be permanent, must have rural communities not too far distant, and the pioneer who came, not to hunt gold, but to supply the wants of the gold hunter, oftentimes reap- ed a greater harvest than did his more spectacular predecessor. These later com- ers saw possibilities of wealth produced by Mother Earth that were beneath the vision of the true fortune seeker. As a result, in those sections favored by climate and soil this second classs of pioneers, the agricul- tural pioneers, soon began to supplant the wandering gold hunter and to establish a community that was permanent and to make a living, not with the pick, shovel and gold pan, but with the plow, harrow and reaper. It was soon learned that produc- tion of crops successfully in arid regions required that some sort of artificial irri- gation be devised, and the scheme of di- verting waters from the numerous streams by means of ditches and conducting it to the various farms came about. This method of supplying the necessary element of successful cultivation, the only one which nature had failed to supply in this region, produced a second crop of pioneers, those who settled upon a quarter sec- tion of government land and lived in a one room log or board house, and as has been said by some one ‘‘bet Uncle Sam $16.00 that he could subsist long enough to earn a patent to 160 acres of land.” Re- versing the procedure of the mining boom wherein the congested population drew a producing class, the producing class drew the urban population, and towns grew on a solid foundation and have continued to grow because of a permanent and lasting .support. St. Anthony is of this latter class town. Its history has been closely connected with and still depends upon the successful cul- tivation, by means of artificial irrigation, of thousands of acres of otherwise sterile soil. St. Anthony probably would never have come into being had it not been close- ly, yes intimately, connected with an irri- gation enterprise. The founders of the town saw in the site on which it was lo- cated possibilities because it was the natur- al center of a thriving rural community to be built. To few persons is given the pow- er of visualization and to this alone is the location of St. Anthony due. The name St. Anthony was chosen because of a similar- ity of appearance of Snake River at this point to the Mississippi River at the Falls of St. Anthony, near St. Paul, Minnesota, a part of the country with which one of the founders (Mr. Moon) was familiar. The only possible reason for the establish- ment of a town at this point was the fact that it had been determined to construct the St. Anthony Canal to furnish addition- al water for irrigating the then sandy waste now known as Egin Bench, where a few settlers had already located and had taken out a ditch of sufficient capacity to indicate what the soil might produce with the aid of water for irrigation. But it re- mained for the St. Anthony Canal to pour enough water onto and into the “Bench” to prove conclusively the value of the land. The townsite was filed on as a desert entry and patent obtained thereon from the Gov- ernment by proof made possible by water from the above canal. There being at that time no means of communication between the two sides of the river at any point north of Idaho Falls save by precarious [Continuer on Page Fourteen] Page Ten THE TATTLER Page Eleven THE TATT LER Page Twelve mm THE TATTLER Page Thirteen THE TATT LER Early Days in St. Anthony (Continued) [Continued From Page Ten] fords or ferries, a bridge was built at this point in the year 1887 and traffic was there- by centralized to this point. In the year 188t tlie townsite was platted and a Post Office officially established as St. Anthony. Prospects and a few large cattle compan- ies appeared at this time to be the only support of the town unless the irrigation project proved a success. A small log cab- in was bu It to serve as the office of the Canal Company, and to supply those who were doing jdie construction work on the canal with the necessities of life a store room was built and a small store opened, where it was possible to buy flour, salt- side, sugar, ‘ ' Bull Durham” tobacco and overalls and shoes in sufficient quantities to sustain life and self respect. Lastly a residence was built Not until the year 1890 did a family take up its abode at St. Anthony, and not until some time late in 1891 did a second family land in St. An- thony. At this time a man and Iris wife from Pennsylvania were lured west by the glowing accounts of a real estate boom in a town not far distant, but landed there on a day when a large portion of the soil was in motion. Disgusted at the outset, they remained only a short time and moved on to St. Anthony, becoming the first im- migrants to the new town. The rush of homeseekers then subsided until late in the year 1892, when a man from North Idaho located Here with his family and opened the first general store. Along with this homeseeker came a building boom. The old store building roof was raised and a two-story building made, thus giving a hall of sufficient capacity to allow its pop- ulation and that of the surrounding coun- try to congregate in one room. The popu- lation of the town, it might be said, was three families, about twelve persons. The present town of Roberts, then Market Lake, was the nearest railroad point and Blackfoot was the county seat. At the out- set mail arrived three times a week from Idaho Falls by stage, provided the stage was able to negotiate the ford on the South Fork of the Snake River. Shortly after the establishment of the Post Office, about the year 1891, a star route was established from Market Lake, via Rexburg, and daily mail reached here. By the fall of 1892 the the town had arrived at a point where its importance was too great to be so far from a county seat and it was decided by the residents, one in particular, that this should be a t ountv seat of a county to be carved ut of Bingham County The Legislature of 1893 was accordingly “approached” early in the session and after 60 days of strenu- ous effort Fremont County came into being with St. Anthony named as the County Seat “pro tempore” and until the general election of 1894. The county officials took their offices early in 1893, and county gov- ernment began in the front end of the gen- eral store and in the hall above, being later transferred to a three room shack located near the site of the present court house. At the time the county was divided and the county seat located here, the town had grown to about live or six business houses and as many residences. The business of the town consisted of a general store, a saloon, and a lumber yard. In the year 1894 the question of the permanent loca- tion of the county seat was voted on at the general election and St. Anthony was chosen the permanent seat of government for six years. At the end of that time the matter was again voted upon and the same result was achieved. Before the time for another test of this question the city had erected in conjunction with the county and in accordance with an election promise the present substantial courthouse, and the question of the county seat became settled. During the time the foregoing events were transpiring the farms had been pro- ducing mere abundantly each year and it had become a settled fact that the, dreams of the founders of the town were not idle ones. The town was still thirty-five miles from a market and there was little incent- ive to large production when it had to be hauled thirty-five miles over a bad road to market. A railroad became a necessity and in the year 1898, after long hard work, the Oregon Short Line officials were convinced that a road through the valley could be made to pay. In the fall of 1899 the rails were laid into St. Anthony and the first train brought to town the reluctant offi- cials to join in the celebration of what was [Continued on Page Fifty-Three] Page Fourteen THE TATTLER HARRIET C.

Flower: DAFFODIL Had an aeroplane been soaring high in the heavens four years ago above a certain High School Ladder, much would its pilot have seen. But as high school ladders are common in our country, he probably would not have given it much thought. But 1 am sure he could not have missed a certain Aoung, energetic, and anxious crowd, which were struggling, trying to make their way up the first steps of a ladder from a plat- form on which they were then standing. This Ladder is the St. Anthony High School Ladder and it is a very strong one, you may be sure. The young, energetic, and anxious crowd of boys and girls who were having a hard time to ascend these first steps were just claiming the name of “F reshmen.” On the sixth day of September, lb22, we who were the incoming Freshmen, number- ing about sixtv-two, timidly but proudly climbed the first steps to the “Freshmen Platform.” Although we were welcomed by the higher classes, we were looked upon as a “green” set of pupils. Yet, despite their taunts and jeers, we did not falter, but continued to climb the steps of the ladder. We organized by choosing Mrs. Bell for our adviser, who was ever ready to help us and continually beckoning us on to the top. We elected for our first semester’s officers: Yerda White, President; William Stevens, Vice President; and Nila Hunter, Secretary and Treasurer. While on the “Freshman Platform.” we had many, many opportunities. We per- haps did not grasp every one, being just Freshmen; however, we accomplished a great deal. We were represented in foot- ball. basketball, and in the Declamatory Contest. In the latter, Chandler Garrett represented us in Oratory. Cora Jackson in Dramatics, and Dorohty McDonald in Hu- morous — in the Primary Contest. On March the third we gave our annual party, which showed the upper class-men that we, too, could manage affaiirs. Our officers for the second semester were: Chandler Garrett, President; Dorothy Mc- Donald. Vice President; and Agnes Con- nelly. Secretary and Treasurer. By the end of the school year we felt en- thusiastic about climbing this Ladder. We felt the absence of many of our classmates u ho had left us, but we strove valiantly to reach the top; for we had found that it is — “Easy to match what others do, Perform the feat as well as they; Hard to outdo the brave, the true, And find the loftier way.” And so, stej) by step, we reached the em- inence of Sophomores. Our first aim was to find leaders and an adviser. And th.i it was that the Sophomores assembled in a body and chose the following people for offi- cers: Mack Yager, President; Robert Mc- Daniel, Vice President ; and Thella Hess, Secretary and Treasurer. To our great de- light, Miss Cooper consented to be our ad- viser. She stood as a shining bright stai to which we all looked for advice and en- couragement. In our work, in our play, and in all our activities, she was there willing to give her service and advice. She left the thought of Scott’s poem with us: “Think for thyself — one good idea. But known to be thine own, Is better than a thousand gleaned From fields by others sown.” Will am Stevens and Robert McDaniel represented us on the football team. Our girls would not have the boys excel them. We were represented by four girls on tin Girls’ Basketball team. In Declamatory work, two of our members won first in the school contest and each took second place at the District Contest at Rigby, of which we were very proud. We were determined to keep climbing! In the Commercial De- Page Twentv-Kight THE TATTLER partment we liad students of honor, who wen places in contests and brought honor for our class. Our party, which was given March twenty-third, was well attended by all ( lasses. Our officers for the second semester were: William Stevens for President; Ag- nes Connelly for Vice President: Rosetta Leis for Secretary; and Chandler Garrett for Treasurer. As a class we did not do so much in Track, but planned to improve. Our Sophomore year was at a close. We had climbed those steps never to climb again. And so we found ourselves, one bright sunny morning in September, on the “Junior Platform.” We were thirty-six in number. Our number had been decreas- ing, but we hoped that we who remained could all leave this ladder together. Many had left for other school ladders and many had resumed ladders of the Great Ladder of Life. Only one more year remained un- til we should be the leading class — ex- amples for others. While we were on the “Junior Platform,” we tried to fit oursel- ves for that position. We began as had been our custom, by electing officers: President. Anna Buche- nau; Vice President, Tliella Hess; and Sec- retary and Treasurer, Cora Jackson. Miss Greenheck was chosen for our adviser. She was a most wonderful adviser. She cou ' d manage affairs, and was a great aid in helpin g us make money. She will always live in our memory. On January twenty-ninth, we gave a carnival to raise money for our Prom. Everybody worked, and it was a great suc- cess. We accomplished much this year, particularly in Commercial work and in Athletics. Cora Jackson and Alice Moore were on the main team in Girls’ Basket- tail. Loran Summers and William Stevens were on the Boys’ Basketball Team, and Loran Summers, Floyd Law, William Stev- ens and Oel Hess played on the Football Team. In the Commercial Contest the Ju- niors took the most places. We had de- baters also, who occasionally defeated the Seniors. But along with our victories in some things, we had to suffer defeat in others. We did not win any place in De- clamation; however, we did not give up In Track Meet we won some places. Our Prom was tin big social event of the year. The artistic wav in which the hall was decorated was admired by every one. Miss Greenheck’s advice was appreciated by all Juniors. Our officers for the second seme- ter were: President, Erma Lloyd: Vice President, Nila Hunter; and Secre- tary and Treasurer, Loran Summers. We were at the end of another school year. What did we know? and how much had we to learn? These questions did not mean the same to us as when we first step- ped upon the “Freshman Platform.” We felt that there was a great deal more to learn than we had realized before, and that, in reality, we did not know nearly as much as there was to learn. This instilled into our minds a longing to climb higher, and finish our task. We had found that it is not in a minute’s, au hour’s, or even a day’s time that we accomplish the thing we set out to do, but that it must be done gradu- allv, bv continuous toiling. As Longfellow tells us: “The heights of great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But, they, while their sompanions slept. Were toiling upward through the night.” The “Dignified Seniors” stood on the “Se- nior Platform” last September ready to take up the work in the most capable way possible. We realized that there was much to be done while on this Platform. We would have to make the best use of our moments and strive to reach the top. Miss Wood stood ready to help us up the steps, as she has so many others. We felt sure of our steps when such a strong hand was leading us upward. We wished to make this year a success, one that we, and even you, would remember. Our first move was to elect officers — Dorothy Mc- Donald, President; William Stevens, Vice- President; and Woodson West, Secretary and Treasurer. We went in for Football with Loran Summers, Otto Powell, Floyd Law, Gilman Fletcher, Oel Hess, James Martineau and William Stevens on the team; and nearly all of these are letter men. Our members have taken part in all activities, trying to make this High School Ladder a stronger one. In both Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball we were well represented, with Cora Jackson, Tliella Hess and Alice Moore on the Girls’ Team. William Stev- ens, Loran Summers and Otto Powell , Pago Twenty-Nine THE TATTLER played cm the Boys’ Team, and all are let- ter men. Our second semester officers were: James Martineau, President; Loran Summers, Vice President; and Nila Hunter, Secretary and Treasurer, We were entertained by the Juniors, whose Prom we shall never forget. In De- clamation three of our members took first place, both in the Primary Contest, and in the District: Charles Lynch in Oratory, Erma Lloyd in Dramatics, and Chandler Garrett in Extemporaneous Speaking. In competing with other districts at Pocatello. Erma won third place. In Commercial Con tests we were not so successful, but were proud to have Cora Jackson win first place in second year typewriting in the District Contest at Pocatello. All in all, we have had a most enjoyable lime while climbing this Ladder. We hope that after we leave this Ladder we shall he able to reach a College Ladder or some other ladder in t lie Great Ladder of Life which will bring us success. We shall be separated, we know; but let us hope that we shall remember this Ladder, each other, and our kind teachers who have so faith- fully helped us up these steps; we shall not forget Miss Wood and we hope that she in turn will remember us. We say to you, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, keep on; for we know that the plodder car- ries off life’s prizes. If we have left with you any good ideas, which w T e hope we have, build upon them and make them better, try to profit by the mistakes which w r e have made, and continue to carry on the good work of this Ladder, and remember this: “Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. We rise by the things that are under our feet ; By what we have mastered of good or gain ; By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet.” We sincerely hope that in four years from now, when many aeroplanes are soaring above this Ladder, that the pilots may look down upon a stronger and mightier Ladder, one that shall never break or fall. — N. H., ’25, Idaho Seasons The rivers dash against the rocks, Where trees and flowers grow. Then come the birds in mingling flocks. That’s Spring in Idaho. ' Flic swaying trees are dressed in green, An:l soft cool breezes blow; With glistening flowers so pure and clean. It ' s Summer in Idaho. Summer passes with all its glory; All the birds now southward go; bile life itself is a sadder story, In Autumn in Idaho. A cold gale sweeps o’er the frozen plain And the ground is laden with snow. The only sound is the snowbirds’ refrain When it’s Winter in Idaho. -L.

J., 25. Pafro Thirty-One THE TATTLER Prophecy of Class of ’25 So this you say is t lie Village of Bagdad and tli is, the identical spot upon which the kind Genius once appeared to Mirza and explained his wonderful vision to him. Thank you, good guide, but I pray you leave me to my own musings for the re- mainder of this evening, as I am pensively inclined and desire to he alone. I am thus engaged for a few moments when to my inexpressible delight I be- come aware of strains of heavenly music, and turning my eyes in the direction whence it comes, see a man answering in all partic- ulars the Genius of the vision of Mirza, What is he beckoning to me? Am I also to he favored with a vision? I hasten to- wards him without the least fear and when 1 come within speaking distance of him, he thus addresses me: “Come up hither, Agnes, that thy vision may not he obstructed hv the impediments of the low- er world.” As 1 approached him from the East, my gaze was directed towards the West, and even before I reached his side, the Genius observed that 1 was spell bound by what I beheld in the latter direction. Genius: “Tell me, young lady, what is it that so absorbs thy attention?” Agnes: “Oh Genius, 1 behold a venerable old man, resembling a Christian monk, with tonsured head and coarse brown habit bound at the middle by a white cord. He seems very busy feeding a great fire with a strange kind of fuel.” Genius: “This is the greht St. Anthony. The fire which thou seest is ydUV Alma Ma- ter, St. Anthony High School; and the strange fuel which he throws upon the fire is the earnest, zealous teachers already burning with love of knowledge and the desire to communicate it to others. Look a little closer and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “I see twenty-one young ladies and fourteen young men, who have just lit their torches at this great fire and have been dismissed by the venerable old man with a very hearty blessing. There seems to be a note of sadness in his manner as if lie never expected to see them all together again. And now that I look a little more closely 1 seem to recognize some familiar figures amongst them.” Genius: “Look still more closely and you will recognize them all, for they are your old classmates of 1925. They have just lit their torches of knowledge at your Alma Mater. Notice too, that all the torch- es do not burn with equal brilliancy, and that while some are fanning their torches to make them burn more brightly, others are allowing theirs to flicker and grow dim. This you will easily see typifies their un- equal acquirements in school, and their different attitudes towards knowledge af- tender to the right may be who seems to inflict such punishment upon his opponent?” Genius: “That is the world famous Er- vin Hobbs removing his last obstacle to the world’s championship.” Agnes: “The vision vanishes and in its stead T see what seems to be a circus. “Ringling Brothers.” See how the throng surges to the side show. ‘Everybody see the Fat Man.’ Good heavens! 520% tbs. Dean Tracy., The scene shifts again and 1 see in a large room a hundred eager faces turned towards a blackboard upon which a lady is making what seems to be a series of strokes and dashes with lightning rap- idity.” Genius: “Do you not recognize your old schoolmate? She is the successor of Charles Lee Swem — Thella Hess. Dwell no further upon this vision for the river of time moves rapidly and the scenes change quickly. Lift thine eyes to yon sage cov- ered hill side and tell me what tlioou seest.” Agnes: “1 see a sun-browned, freckled ter wards. See, even while you gaze upon them, how they vanish into that mist- covered valley — called the Valley of the Future.” Agnes: “Oh, kind Genius I implore you by your preternatural power to dispel this mist for a moment and let me see, if only for one brief instant, what is to become of each of my beloved schoolmates.” Genius: “It is the plan of Allah to hide the future from our gaze, and it is much better that it should be so; but for once I shall gratify thy desire and shall cause the ear of the Hegira 1313, or as you Christians J ' a.Te Thirty-Two •c THE TA TTLER call it 1035 A.. D., to roll rapidly before thy view. Now cast thine eyes Eastward to where thou observest the tide of time en- tering the Valley of the Future and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “I see a huge arena with an im- mense concourse of people wrought up to the wildest pitch of excitement and in the midst two contending pugilists. Oh, tell me good Genius who that aggressive con- faced man with a shepherd’s crook, and about him in every direction myriads of sheep and lambs.” Genius: “Behold your old friend. Bill Stevens, laziest of sheep-herders. But to to the next vision.” Agnes: “I see a bevy of beautiful girls sauntering along under groves of orange trees in a delightful climate and trudging along behind them what appears to be a large Chinese Coolie with a number of baskets filled with little dogs hanging from his ne, k.” Genius: “This is Hollywood. The girls thou seest are moving picture actresses and large Chinese coolie with a number of other than Gilman Fletcher carrying their poodle dogs.” Agnes: “This time 1 see before me a sumptuous drawing room. Reclining on a lounge is a gorgeously dressed lady with beautiful brown curly hair, but on her face scorn and contempt are written, and at her feet in the attitude of a suppliant is a tall, dark, gaunt man with tear-stained face.” Genius: “The young lady thou seest is Lucille Neilson and the man at her feet is Woodson West seeking to be reconciled to her after their first divorce.” Agnes: “What. I pray you, good Genius, is this magnificent millinery establishment that so enraptures my feminine gaze, and who is the classic model of my sex who dis- plays to such advantage so many new styles of dresses ?” Genius: “This is Madeleine Vionnet’s Salon, the home of all the latest Parisian styles and the classic model you so admire is your old friend, Faye De Winer.” Agnes: “The vision changes from Paris to sunny California. I see nestled among the hills a cozy little bungalow. Two peo- ple are issuing frrm the doorway arm in arm.” Genius: “That is the happiest married couple in California. Chandler Garrett and Audra Davis.” Agnes: “What means this magnificent span cf Lap reindeer, with their beautiful team stress, which courses so superbly over the diameter of that frozen lake and what means those numerous dog teams which are tugging and laboring with so much sp eed and endurance around her.” Genius: “That is the world famous Ash- ton Dog Derby and the beautiful lady is Ruth Thompson, carnival queen of 1925. Now cast thine eye towards yon town and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “1 see a large fleshy lady in front of an enormous theatre. She has just ac- costed its manager, but he doesn’t seem at all pleased with the interview.” Genius: “This is Eleanor Olson who has just answered the 500tli advertisement for a good looking usher.” Agnes: “But who, I beg, is that stolid loveless old maid with a whole menagerie of cats about her? Good heavens: She tot- ters! What, dead? and the cats, is it ] os- sible? eating her up before she is cold?” Genius: “Yes, this is the end of Violet Olson. But I will show thee a more cheer- ful vision presently. Now tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “1 see a serious almost gloomy man, who by a few rapid strokes of his pen seems to make the whole world laugh. He alone remains unmoved amidst the gen- eral up-roar he creates.” Genius: “That is the renowned cartoon- ist, Herbert Mason. But I have another dismal vision awaiting thee. Look toward yon island where thou seest those half- naked savages. See them drag that Chris- tian missionary toward that great fire on the sand. Look! They have just broken his head, but alas, they have found it empty.” Agnes: “Pray tell me who this unfortu- nate victim is ?” Genius: “These savages are cannibals of the Fiji Islands and they are about to dine upon thy old schoolmate, Oel Hess.” Agnes: “Gruesome sight, but how differ- ent from the uneventful career of this pros- perous little truck farmer who now occu- pies my vision. Who is this farmer and why is it, I pray you, that these people who just now passed him seem to hold their noses ?” Page Thirty-Three THE TATTLER Genius: “This is Floyd Law, who spe- cializes in garlic and onions and trading in rotten cabbages. Look yonder where the tide of time washes the shores of eternity and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “l see a delightful beach where many beautiful girls seem trying to develop a coat of summer tan lying on the sand. But who is this would-be sheik who moves amongst them, smirking now at one and then at the other of the most frivolous amongst them?” Genius: “This is James Martineau. Now known as ‘Beach-hound Jimmie.’ ° Agnes: “This time a class room looms up before me. There is a large number of children assembled there, but also a number of older persons apparently teachers and all are listening with rapt attention to the fat, dapper little lady, who occupies the front of the room.” Genius: “The lady is Charlotte Wright, prize demonstrator of the Montessori meth- od of teaching children.” Agnes: “It seems to me, good Genius, that 1 have seen the vision which thou showest me, once before.” Genius: “Not so, only the background, for this is Hollywood again.” Agnes: “Tell me, is that not Mary Pick- ford whom 1 so much longed to see in my girlhood days?” Genius: “1 might say yes, for she is the reincarnation of Mary Pickford. This is Genevieve Stewart now acting in child mo- tion pictures.” Agnes: “What solitary man is this who shoulders his crutch so vigorously and shows how the football held was won as he hobbles down the middle of that enormous campus ?” Genius: “That is Loran Summers, star performer at the great Stanford-Notre Dame University Football game of 1.1)2!). He carried the pig skin over the line for the de- ciding touch down, but was partly disabled for life in doing so.” Agnes: “Gracious, heavens! What a ter- rible accident has happened to that man. That Numidian lion has just stuck his paw through the cage and has torn his arm com- pletely off.” Genius: “If thou hadst observed him closely, thou wouldst have seen that he de- served it. He just dropped a lighted match into the beast’s ear, and he has annoyed others in various ways. He has been court- ing some such punishment for his pranks since his school days, for this is Charles Lynch.” Agnes: “Oh tell me. good Genius, what means this assembly of rough looking men and women, who have just now come to- gether rather secretly in that hall? Who is that fiery feminine orator who seems to ex- cite them to fury by her violent speech ?” Genius: “This is a meeting of Russian Reds and the speaker is their favorite ora tor, Beth Hoffman.” Agnes: “Who is this matronly little lady who waddles along amongst those lines of baby cots resembling a hospital ward?” Genius: “This is Alice Moore. She has joined the ‘Daughters of Zantippe’. She is a very successful assistant to the stork.” Agnes: “The hospital ward vanishes and in its stead 1 see a lady beside a busy th ore ugh fa re in a large city. She is har- anguing the passers-by with regard to her wares.” Genius: “This is Claudia May, who is sell ng a patent device which she invented to silence noise of whispering in assembly, so that assembly teachers will not be dis- turbed. She is making a fortune. Look where that large folding door has just been thrown open and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “I see a spacious court room thronged to capacity, but who is that young lady who. like Portia, pleads the case of her client so cleverly and eloquently?” Genius: This is Dorothy McDonald of the McDonald Law Firm.” Agnes: “The folding doors close and the scene is changed. Instead of the court room I see a stage with two performers playing to a delighted audience. See how they ap- plaud the lady who has just performed up- on the xylophone; and who l pray you is that dreamy, sheepish little man who seems to talk in half a dozen places without changing position.” Genius: “The lady who has drawn such applause from the house is Zona Latham; and the dreamy little man is Otto Powell, famous ventriloquist.” Agnes: “1 see in the office of a distin- guished law firm a beautiful, swift -fingered stenographer, but what means those un- necessary visits from her employer which she seems to receive with so much pleasure? See, they are leaving the establishment Page Thirty-Four THE TAT TLER arm in arm.” Genius: “The stenographer thou seest is Cora Jackson. She is the very efficient and popular secretary to the U. S. Senator from Idaho, and is the tirst woman nominee for governor of the state.” Agnes: “The scene has changed. What exquisitely shaped young ladies, but how sparingly dressed! See by what a multi- tude of pranks and antics they amuse the public; but who is this limber dame that seems to kick her heels so much higher than anybody else?” Genius: “This is a scene from the Zieg- lield Follies ' and the young lady whose agil- itv you so admire is Erma Lloyd.” Agnes : “What strange scene is this that comes before my vision. I see a man dressed in costly raiment. He is reclining on a luxurious divan. Around him I see a number of ladies with their faces half cov- ered. They, too, are reclining on couches, but one of them, a great fat lady, seems to occupy the place of honor amongst the others, and to this one especially the effem- inate gentleman on the couch devotes his special attention. This surely must be a Turkish harem.” Genius: “And so it is. The effeminate one thou seest is Harry Douglass, Sultan of Turkey.” Agnes: “What mean those little jets of smoke which I see issuing from yon hill- side in the twilight, and who is that lady that comes out so often to the door of her tent and anxiously scans the horizon? See how nervous she becomes. And who are those two gentlemen in strange uniform rid- ing towards her?” Genius: “The lady is Anna Buchenau and she is about to be placed under arrest for violating the Volstead Act.” Agnes: “I see in a beautiful moonlit park a tall dark lady in company with an attractive gentleman. Now they sit be- neath that great tree, and she rests her head upon his shoulder.” Genius: “The lady thou seest is Vernal Richards, still unmarried, but she has two beaux: one in the morning when she has her paint on, and one in the evening when she hasn’t. Each beau thinks he has a won- derful girl. He has. But hasten, young lady, the evening grows apace and I have yet other visions to show thee. Hast thou ever seen an Evangelical meeting? Look closely at yon assembly and tell me what thou seest.” Agnes: “I see a vast gathering of the s : ck, the blind and the lame. Others are coming from the high-ways and by-ways. Where these unfortunates are most numer- ous I see a lady who seems to bless them and sends them away well. Who is this? Is this Amelia McPherson, ar Motty Craw- ford ?” Genius: “Not so, for these have long since gone to glory, but their mantle has fallen on Rosetta Leis.” Agnes: “In a neat little establishment with the sign ‘Beauty Parlor, Ol d Faces Made New’ blazoned over the door now moves into my vision. A number of females suggesting forty years of age are entering beneath this sign and are coming out look- ing like sixteen.” Genius: “This is lone Jensen’s beauty parlor. Years ago she discovered a great boautv secret and is herself an advertise- ment for it.” Agnes: “I now see a dark, plump, at- tractive little woman with an enormous horn, which she never seems to quit blow- ing, to the disgust of everybody about her. See how thev stuff ' their ears, but she will insist on blowing.” Genius: “This is Ora Hackworth. She is married to a man named 1 . Owen A. Hornblower.” Agnes: “What a tremendous chain of business houses is this which stretches out before my gaze and over each I see the sign, ‘Fat People Made Lean Lean People Made Fat.’ ” Genius: (In a far away tone) “This chain of houses belongs to Nila Hunter. In 1027 she discovered a wonderful elixir which has the strange power of making fat people lean and lean people fat. She is a second John D. Rockefeller.” Agnes: “But good Genius, since you have had the kindness to show me what awaits my schoolmates ten years hence, I pray you have the kindness to draw aside for a brief moment the veil that hides my own future from me. (Wishing to know my lot and yet almost afraid that he would grant my request I waited for a moment for his reply, but not receiving any I turned to address him when to my keen disappoint- ment I found that he had vanished, and not only he but the daylight. Night and the Page Thirty-Five THE TATTLER dear cold star-light of an Arabian night had descended upon the city and the valley of Bagdad, and 1 was alone. I called to my guide, who had waited patiently for me during my interview with the Genius, and together we trudged back to Bagdad, the abode of peace.)” — A. C. ’25 Senior Class Report The Senior Class with thirty-six mem- bers entered upon the home stretch of their high school career on September 2. 1924. The last year the Seniors were not prominent in polities, but when it came to athletics they were right on the job. In football they were represented by Wylie Harris, Loran Summers, Oel Hess. Bill Stev- ens, James Martineau, Gilman Fletcher, Floyd Law. The basket ball team consist- ed of four Seniors who were: Wylie Har- ris, Bill Stevens, Loran Summers and Otto Powell. 5 Out of sixteen lettermen, seven were Seniors. On the girls’ basketball team, four were Seniors; they were: Cora Jackson. Alice Moore, Tliella Hess and Genevieve Stewart. Out of the six girls receiving sweaters, three were Seniors. The Seniors had their first outing on September 2( , 1924 when they went to Shelley to witness the first football game, which was between St. Anthony and Shelley. During the year our girls engaged in some exciting rivalry with the Junior girls over the use of the cloak room and emerged from the strife victorious. The Senior Class led all other classes in grades and averages during the year. When the time arrived for the choosing of tlie rings and pins, the Seniors did not choose to buy the standard ring and pins; so at the meeting of the student body the standard was abolished. The class chose another emblem for their rings and pins. The usual question of caps and gowns arose, so the class passed its opinion on them and the board decided we were to wear them. The Junior Prom proved to be the most successful and enjoyable social affair of the season. It was held on March 13, 1925. I he decorations were very artistic and a good time was reported by the majority. In the declamatory contest the Seniors carried all honors. In the district declama- tory contest we won three first places. Chandler Garrett for extemporaneous speaking, Charles Lynch for oratorical, and Erma Lloyd for dramatics. In the commercial contest, which was held at Pocatello, St. Anthony placed only one; first place was given to Cora Jackson, a Senior for second year typing. As the Seniors have taken most all the honors this year, they expect to carry off honors at the track meet. With such ath- letes as they had in football and basketball, there is no doubt of their taking all honors. The greatest day for the Seniors and for the largest majority of the High School was the Senior Sneak Day. On April the sec- ond. at eight -thirty the Senior Class left St. Anthony for Idaho Falls. Because of accidents and lack of cars, we were caught just out of Rexburg by the Juniors. The chase was pursued to Rigby and there a meeting was held and the Juniors, only glad that they were away from school, were overjoyed at the thought of going on Both classes went to Idaho Falls where picnics and a good time was in store for all. The following day school work was carried on as usual only our thoughts drifted back to the day before and all the good times it contained. Cora Jackson is our Valedictorian and Chandler Garrett our salutatorian. “The Charm School” was chosen for the ( lass play and it is a very thrilling story of a boy who falls heir to a large school and out of this school he makes the “Charm School”. And it is only natural, he falls in love and then loses the school. The Cast For The Play Austin Bevans Woodson West David McKenzie Chandler Garrett Page Thirty-Six THE TAT TLER (George Boyd ....;.

Three lads with pole and line in hand — Forgotten is their school — - Stroll leisurely along their way, To fish in some still pool. The moon is clear and calm and bright So fairy folk may dance.

J., ’25. Page Thirty-Seven TH E TATTLER Junior (Hass Report Tlie Junior class, which consists of about Jo members, has met with great success (luring their Junior career. We give credit not only to the students of the class, but also to our accomplished adviser, Miss Van Duzee, who was chosen after we had been disappointed by the departure of two others. We know that no other could have filled this position better than she, and so we owe, at least, a great part of our success to the good advice which we received. We at first elected officers for the first semester, which were as follows: President Verona Blake Vice President Edla Rice Secretary and Treasurer Zella Hunter On September 24th the class decided to start something new, and so a picnic was planned and carried out. The Juniors gave the first class program of the season, which sonsisted of many neve stunts, and was very mu ' ll en joyed by all. We were certainly well represented in the Student Body both semesters, by the following people: • First Semester President Ross Farnsworth Treasurer Burt Root Reporter Elva Primm Veil Leader Ella Andrew Second Semester President Ross Farnsworth Treasurer Zella Hunter Reporter Edla Rice Yell Leader Ella Andrew A very successful “Vodeville” was given by the Juniors with some aid from the other classes. The performance consisted of choruses, pantomimes, and other enter- taining ' features. This “Vodeville” was given for the purpose of obtaining money with which to carry out the Prom. The members of the class played a very important part in athletics, being repre- sented in all of the different games. Those on the girls ' basket ball team were: Hazel Jacobs, Lois Neeley and Julia Miller. The majority of the football squad were Juniors, there being: Ross Farnsworth, Ovid Bailey, Percy Wilcox, Vilas Prater, William Breckenridge, Frank Edgington, Ralph Fisher. Janies Ludlow, Ross Torrey, Clarence Larson and Rulon Romrell. Those who played on the Basketball team were Marion Hammond, Clarence Larson, Percy Wilcox, Burton Stevens, Wayne Aid, Frank Edgington and Austin Green. In Track we expect to make a great showing, because we know we have tin material to do so. We hope we shall lie the lu ky class to carry off the cup. We were also represented in other activ- ities. such as the operetta, by having ten of the main characters Juniors. They were Gazel Sorenson. Ronald Graham, Phyllis Alston, Vilas Prater, Golden Cox, Ross Farnsworth, Ovid Bailey, Elda Burrel, Julia Miller and Austin Green. In the Glengarry club Elda Rice was President for the second semester and Phyllic Alston was elected President for the first semester, next year. The Junior Prom, which was one of the greatest successes and events of the sea- son. was held at Fogg Jacobs Hall on Friday, March 13tli. It was decorated as a wedding hall with bells, hearts, diamonds and roses in colors of both classes, which were green, white and gold. At intermis- sion, a mock wedding was carried out. Pine- apple ice was served by four small girls. Everything went off smoothly, and all re- ported a very enjoyable time. Our debaters were Reed Coffin. Ross Farnsworth, and Corlyn Deatherage, who have won many interesting debates, besides gaining a great deal for themselves. The “Snappy Seniors” one morning sneaked away from school but it was noi long until the “Jazzy Juniors” had secured sufficient cars to catch these Seniors only a short distance from home. The second semester’s class officers were: President erona Blake A ' ce President Wayne Ard Se retarv and Treasurer Hazel Jacobs — Z. H. ’20.

Yes Siree, and we have been it all year long. We started out with a whoop and a shout, and we have kept it up. After all the stray members of the class had come in from the various farms, we decided to have a class election to elect some officers to guide us through the stormy seas and dangers of the school year. The lucky students for the first semester were : President Percy Wilcox Vice President Burton Stevens Sec. and Treas Katherine Buchenau Mr. Ellis was chosen for class adviser. In addition, after we accumulated some money, we decided to have a picnic, which was agreeable to everyone. We went down the river about a mile to a beautiful place on the river bank. We feasted on weinies and buns, after which we had a general good time. We returned, tired out in a good cause, and went to bed to dream f live weinies chasing us through the night. About that time we agreed we needed more money, for our party, the treasury being depleted considerably by the picnic, so we collected class dues. On December 19tli we had our class party. The gym was decorated in green and red (donated by the Department) and in one (orner stood a beautifully decorated Christ- mas tree, festooned with tinsel and orna- ments (plus icicles). During the party Santa came in and distributed sacks of candy. A good time was had by all. After we struggled through the awful mid year (most of us didn ' t ) we thought we needed a new set of officers, since the others needed a rest, so we elected four: President Nance Smith Vice President Floyd Nyborg Sesretary aand Treasurer. .. Louise Barber Sergeant -at Arms Bert Parker Two of our girls, Dorothy Duncan and Afton Knight, made the main Basketball team, and others are in training, so we ex- pect them to follow in the wake of our this year’s members, and contribute much to the success of the team. Our candidates in the Declamatory Con- test didn ' t come out quite as well as we ex- pected. but we’ll carrv away the honors next year. See if we don’t! Our candi- dates were: Oratory Julian Hibbert Dramatic Vera Powell Dramatic Dot Powell We had no contestants for humorous, which is deplorable, for we feel sure we would have won. On April 2nd, the Seniors had their Sneak Day. Some of the Sophomores decided to follow in the wake of the Juniors, and skip- ped away. They reported a dandy good time, and said the rest of us should have been along. But our turn will come next year. On April 17th the Sophomores gave their program in the assembly. It was highly successful and enjoyed by all. We expect to make a good showing in the Track Meet, as we have some excellent material. A good number of our girls and also some of the boys are in training, so we expect to carry off some of the honors. Now we have come to the end of the school year. It has been pretty successful, hasn’t it? I ' m sure we all think so. And we will come back next fall with a vim and vigor never seen in any class heretofore! — M. P., ’27.

Page Forty -Four Page Forty-Five THE TATTLER Freshman Class Report When school opened last September 1st, we, as a class, tripped laughingly into high school, thinking we had reached Eutopia. and that from this time on we would be superior enough to he strangers to study. Pride goetli before a fall, it has been said ; and we soon discovered we had work on our hands and real work at that. The success of cur meeting new tasks and fitting into this new and strange world has been, we feel, quite marked. We have made slow 1 ut steady and substantial progress in our general class average; and perhaps before we are Seniors we will have established some enviable records as students. The first six weeks’ reports brought home to us the seriousness of the situation, and from that time on, we vaguely realized that something must be done. It proved to be the turning of the tide. At the end of the second six weeks’ period we had six of our classmates on the honor roll, and since that time we have more than held our own At the last report we had twenty class members with average grades above 1)0, and one of our classmates holds the highest in- dividual average in the entire high school. For the first semester our class officers were. President Warren Barnett Vice President Erma dergensen Secretary-Treasurer Floyd Davis Faculty Adviser Miss Sell net he AVe chose as our class colors silver and gold. Our first social event, a class picnic, was given on October 1st, and in spite of the efforts of Jupiter Pluvius. a 11 reported a grand time. The Freshmen brought in the greatest number of pictures for ‘ ' The Tattler” and, according to previous announcement, were entitled to some sort of a prize. It makes one feel sort of independent, sometimes, to have something coming your way. Our j rize must still be on the road. Class fatalities were great at the end of the first semester, and we lost our class adviser : reason — matrimony. Class officers for the new semester are: President William Fernev Vice President Florence Sharp Secretary-Treasurer Carnie Burden Faculty Adviser Mr. Thomas On Friday. March 27, we gave our class program, and for our first effort perhaps we d ' d not fail utterly. We hope our ex- perience in this entertainment will make our next attempt more interesting. Some of the traditional things we failed to do are: AVe did not give a party; we iid not get a pennant; we did not wear our class colors, because we couldn’t get them. But then — what’s the use of being like every other class? — H. F., ’28.

Her noble character and her busy life arc recorded in a succession of useful works. Her great mind has guided the footsteps of youth over stumbling paths. A remarkable teacher— a teacher through example — she inspires all toward high ideals and honor- able aspirations, She is just in punishment of those who need chastisement, and merci- ful to those who suffer affliction. As a friend she is pleasant. Even when her path is rough and her heart is heavy, she has a smile for us. If we are discouraged, she persuades us to go on. Many times she has gone out of her way to get youths who could not choose for themselves, and per- suaded them to go on to school. Many of these have made remarkable progress and are on the road to success and fame. These appreciate her most; they understand now the value of an advanced education. Whenever we were fighting for the dear old Red and Black, she was there — our great Captain of renown. We boast of be- ing the best school of our size in the state, and we are, But who has made us so? Ask any one who have been so fortunate as to have been associated with this high school. Since her arrival in the West in 11)00, she constantly worked for the educational de- velopment of Southeastern Idaho. During the first five years here, she taught school winter and summer, one short term in Squir- rel and the rest of the year in Marysville. In 1007 she was elected County Superinten- dent of old Fremont County, which then included these five counties: Fremont, Madison, Jefferson, Teton and Clark, an area equal to the entire state of Connecti- cut. She covered this territory in some of the coldest imaginable weather, by team and wagon, over rough and mirev roads, many times with only a trail to follow in the wilderness of undeveloped country. Under these difficult circumstances, cover- ing such a long period of time, she never once missed the yearly visit to any school. A remarkable record ! In the latter part of 101 f she filled a va- cancy in the fifth grade in St. Anthony. She remained there a year and a half. She became principal of the St. Anthony High School in 11)18, filling this position for two years. From that time she has been Super- intendent of the St. Anthony Public Schools. During these years, many new activities have been started, directly by her or through her influence. The annual operetta was inaugurated by her and Mr. Lewis, who was then Superin- tendent of this school, she being Principal. In its early stages it was necessary to use outside talent; but today only the select members of the (flee Clubs can participate in even the chorus work. The Declamatory Contests were also introduced while she was Principal. This activity, along with Debat- ing, she has aided and encouraged, and has very successfully coached contestants. She lias also regularly coached successful Se- nior plays, She has backed and given hear- ty support to the Chemistry Essay Con- tests, the Commercial Contests, onr en- trance into the District Track Meets, and the Marble Tournament of the Department. Without her approval none of these could have existed. Another important school advancement is the establishment of a Teachers’ Train- ing Class, instituted and taught by Miss Wood herself. This is unquestionably the main reason our graduates have made good in the teaching profession. She es- tablished, too, the Employment Tests for graduating typists, and does all in her power to get them, positions, as she does for those interested in teaching. She has at all times the fullest cooper- ation of the teachers, because of her ami- able disposition toward them, her influence with them, and the inspiraton she is to them. From the reaction caused by the War, the financial conditions surrounding our school were bad; but by strict economy in admin- istering the funds, she has steered us safe- ly on the perilous voyage over the sea of hard times, Indeed she is one who goes the “second mile.” So we should appreciate her, though sometimes, if we have failed to, it was be- Page Fifty-Two THE TAT TLER cause we were so accustomed to her good- ness that we sort of expected it. But now that she is leaving us, how we regret it How we shall miss her! Is there any one who can fill her place in the School, in the Community, in our Hearts? Who will be the fortunate ones to receive her? We who are losing her can only say we are sorry, and wish her God’s choicest blessings- — Health, Success, Happiness ; and that He may grant her the righteous desires of her heart; and that her return to us will be in the very near future, though After a thousand years have passed, The fruits of the seed she has sown will last —A. lv., ’27. Early Days in St. Anthony (Concluded) [Continued Prom Page Fourteen] probably the greatest step in advance the city had made. Never having enjoyed a great boom and never having been the victim of a catas- trophe the growth of the town and country has kept pace and has been slow and sub- stantial. True, it has at times been monot- onous, but when one realizes that in the short space of thirty-two years the town has grown from a population of one family, living in a log house in the center of a sage brush waste, to a population of 3000 living in modern homes, enjoying the com- forts of a modern town, including pave- ments, sewers, electric lights, and water works, and having rapid and frequent com- munication with the outside world, the faith of the pioneer has been justified. — C. R. M. Winter In Idaho When winter comes with its ugly frown. And covers the earth with a snow-white gown ; When the mercury drops to forty below, You know that it’s winter in Idaho. When the hills are clad in fleecy white. And all of us feel that life’s just right; When the signal is given for sportsmen. Go We’re assured that it’s Winter in Idaho, When the sleek deer lies asleep) in the sun. And the hunter sneaks up and aims his gun, Then eats venison down in the valley be- low, Once more it is Winter in Idaho. When the kids have to go to their various schools When the ice has covered the limpid pools; When we all with glee a skating go; Again we have Winter in Idaho. — H. D., ’25. Page Fifty-Three THE TATTLER Debating The debating season opened with a cam- paign carried on by t lie old members for a larger enrollment for the “D” Club. Dur- ing the first two meetings 17 members were eni oiled; Miss Wood presided over these meetings. At the annual election, Reed Coffin was elected President, Corlvn Deatherage Vice President and Alice Moore Secretary. Miss Wood very kindly consented to be- come coach. Illness in her family prevent- ed her from coming to many of the meet- ings later in the season, so at her sugges- tion we asked Mr. Thomas to be coach. He accepted, but later his duties as coach in basketball interfered with debating and the club received another set-back. At the first of the year three weeks from the time of the first debate, with Idaho falls, on the question of the Immediate Re- cognition of Russia by the United States, Mr. Brunstein, a new teacher, came to our assistance and put us over in such good shape that we won a total of eight judges out of a possible fifteen during the season. In our debates with Idaho Falls we won on the negative and lost on the affirmative by two judges) each. The affirmative, how- ever. defeated the negative by a large ma- jority in a school debate just before the Driggs debates, which we won — one was forfeited through default and the other one we won by all three judges. On the Rexburg debates, however, we lost by two judges each. We consider this a very remarkable achievement considering the many diffi- culties to be overcome. The school presented us with pins in recognition of our work. The teams are as follows: St. Anthony vs. Idaho Falls at St. An- thony. Affirmative — Chandler Garrett, Reed Coffin and Burt Root. St. Anthony vs. Idaho Falls at Idaho Falls, Negative — Ross Farnsworth, Corlyn Deatherage and Parke Soule.

Page Fifty-Four THE TATT LER Glengarry Club The second year of the Glengarry Club proved to be very successful. Over twenty new members were taken into the club, which enabled us to hold our Charter from the .Junior Dramatic Club of America, and to keep in good standing. The first semester’s work consisted chief - ly of the study of plays and the production of the one act play, “Neighbors,” by Zona Gale. It was given before both the High School and the Women’s Club, and was en joyed very much each time. When it was given before the High School, an admission was charged and the money was used to buy a make-up kit, which is now the pro- perty of the club, and contains enough paints, with a few replenishings, to fur- nish the club indefinitely. Many interesting programs were given at the meetings of the club. Among the most entertaining was the Christmas program, at which “The Passion Play” was reviewed, French Drama studied, readings and solos, both vocal and instrumental, given, and then the club sang Christmas songs. Pan- tomimes were also studied and given by members of the club. The second semester, individual panto- mimes were studied, and each member of the club was required to give at least one during the semester. , The programs of the second semester were much longer than those of the first semes- ter; always there were pantomimes and readings, often there were vocal or instru- mental solos, and always there was either a play reviewed or some part of the drama studied, such as the evolution of drama, the Japanese theatre, and the Shakespearian theatre. At the last meeting this semseter, a very elaborate program was given and refresh ments were served. All the sponsors of the club were present at the meeting and were well pleased with the work which the club was doing. On May 4, 1925, the annual open program was given. The members invited guests to whom refreshments were served; the public was invited to the program, which consisted of two [days ' , “A Pair of Lunatics,” and “Just Women.” Solos and readings were also given by members of the club. Since we are only a new organization in this school, we have not accomplished as much as we hope to do in the next few years. But we have established ourselves as one of the school’s activities and will plan cur work for the next years so that we will be able to do much more than we have done these last two years. The officers of the first semester were: Dorothy McDonald President Ella Andrew Vice President Nila Hunter Secretary and Treasurer Agnes Connelly Reporter The officers of the second semester were: Edla Rice President Helen Farnsworth Vice President Mary Jensen ...4... Secretary and Treasurer Elda Burrell Reporter The advisers of the club were: Mi ss Ethel Schuette Adviser Miss Jeannette Van Duzee Assistant — D. M., ’25. The “Passing” Mood (With Apologies to James Whitcomb Riley) There! Boys and girls, don’t sigh!

Boys and girls, don’t sigh. —V. B. S., ’28. Page Fifty-Five THE T ATTLER Page Fifty-Six THE TATTLER i ’age Fifty-Seven THE TATTLER Commercial St. Anthony, Idaho, May 1, 1025. Dear Hazel: 1 am sending you what you asked me lor. Well, we’re still plodding along, but are doing a little better every day. Miss Cooper is still laboring diligently and wil- lingly to teach us accuracy and speed in our Commercial subjects. She has been with us, as you know, four years and has put forth every effort to make us better students, and worthy of a good position. She is kind and gentle, as always; we think of her as a true friend, as well as a teacher. Six subjects are taught in this depart ment. The number enrolled in each is as follows: Typewriting, sixty; beginning shorthand, twenty; advanced shorthand, ten; commercial arithmetic, twenty-six; and bookkeeping, six. Penmanship and spelling, which were formerly taught by Miss Cooper, are now taught by Miss Judy of the Department grades and Miss Wood, respectively. There are thirty-three en- rolled in penmanship and nineteen in spell- ing. LaRue White was the first one to earn an Underwood 30-word certificate. Irma Lodge won the 40-word bronze medal also in October. William Stevens and Chas. Lynch won the 30- word Smith certificate that same month. In December the first - year students were ready to make the ad- vanced students “sit up and take notice.’ Elva Primm, Phyllis Alston, Burton Stev- ens and Jeannette Potter won the Reming- ton 25-word certificate. You know the Remington and Royal awards are the hard- est to get because if you make more than five errors in the fifteen minutes, you can’t qualify. Burt Root won the 30-word Smith certificate and Violet Olson, Edith Whitman and Burt Root won the 30-word Underwood certificate. Chandler Oarrett and William Stevens won the 40-word bronze pin from the Smith Company. Since the beginning of the new year fourteen have received Un- derwood certificates; eighteen, Smith cer- tificates; five, Remington. Elda Burrell. Harry Douglass, Burton Stevens, and Ken- neth Parker have the 40-word Remington silver pin; Burton Stevens, Violet Olson and Margaret Patton have the Smith bronze p n for 40 words; LaRue White, Edith Whit- man, and Chandler Garrett have the bronze pin for the Underwood Company for 40. In January, Cora Jackson won the gold pin from the Smith Company for 60 words, and Agnes Connelly received the gold Eversharp for 79.5, and in February Cora won the Eversharp for 77 words. Although the Royal is new, four have won the 30- word certificates, and Ora Hack worth has won the card case for 55.5 words. A Portable test was given in December lor those holding the 55-word gold pin from the Remington Company. To win a Port- able one must write at a rate of 60 words per, for fifteen minutes without error. Al- though we have never won a machine, we expect to some time. Those taking this test were Agnes Connelly, Anna Buchenau, Cora Jackson, Parke Soule and Miss Coop- er. Another test will be given this month. Each month the Gregg Publishing Com- pany sends us shorthand transcription tests. These are given at the rates of sixty, eighty, and one hundred words per minute. Tliella Hess, Ora Hackworth, Parke Soule, Cora Jackson, and Anna Buchenau have won the 100-word certificates; Agnes Connelly, the 80-word; and Chandler Garrett and Chas. Lynch, the 60-word. In former years, we have been contesting against the schools of the Eastern district, in which Idaho Falls was about the only real contestant. It seemed unfair, so the Eastern district has been admitted to the Southeastern district, where there will be a a more fair and equal chance. The contest was held at Pocatello this year on April 27. There were two contestants from each class, excepting penmanship and spelling Who were to go from the typewriting clas- ses was the hardest to decide. There were quite a number, especially in beginning typing, who seemed to be about equal in ability Miss Cooper gave a number of tests each day. Some were given before the As- sembly, some in the hall and others in the typing room, allowing others to watch them. This was to give them confidence, and to help them overcome the so called “stage-fright.” , Finally Miss Cooper took the averages of Page Fifty -Eight THE TATTLER each student’s tests, and in first year typ- ing, Burton Stevens and Marjorie Patton were the winners; in second year typing Cora Jackson and Wayne Ard. The beginning shorthand contestants were Edla Rice and Zella Hunter; the ad- vance shorthand contestants were Ora Hackwortli and Agnes Connelly. In com- mercial arithmetic, Lutran Jensen and Hel- en Jacobs were sent. And in bookkeeping, Loran Summers and Vernal Richards won. Cora Jackson was the only winner from St. Anthony. She won with a rate of 01. 8 words per minute in typewriting. Next year we will do better. Our local contest will be held here some- time before May 18. The Kiwanis Club will g ve prizes for the winners on May 18. Some cf the pupils are going to put on a play entitled “Words”. Those taking part are: -Jeannette Potter, Mary Stanford, Marie Hobbs, Hazel Jacobs, Perry Stone, Burton Stevensi and Marion Harnmon. I wish you could come and see it. 1 know it will be worth your while. Let me know if you can come, and we will make arrange- ments Yours as ever, EDITH. — T. H., ’25. Agriculture The Federal Government, recognizing the need of better training for those boys of our farms who are to be the farmers, passed the Smith -Hughes act in order to encourage and assist communities desiring Agricul- tural departments in their high schools. In order to get their help from the govern- ment a certain type of subject matter must be taught, and in addition this must be ac- companied by a farm enterprise carried through a complete circle of production and marketing by each student who pursues such a course. This enterprise is carried on under the supervision of the teacher of agriculture. At the present time St Anthony’s agri- culture department lias sixteen students carrying farm enterprises. These consist of one hundred and six acres of farm crops and one brood sow and litter. As this is a year in which farm crops are taught and as the farm enterprise is to correlate with class instruction, the greater part of the enter- prises consist of crops. Next fall we feel sure that the agricultural department for the past school year will have a record of achievements which will show excellent re- sults. Class work must remain more or less intangible until such a time as actual results can lie measured by accomplish- ments. Aside from class work and the actual en- terprises planned, the department was in- strumental in advertising and helping con- duct a dairy conference for the local dairy- men, which was a success not from the number of dairymen who were reached, but because those who attended have increased the production of their herds from the feeding and management problems solved and put into practice. The boys of the department trained for the stock judging contest, which was held at Rexburg. The St. Anthony team placed third, out of seven teams competing. The department is also cooperating with the extension department of the Univer- club work. The department hopes that this sity of Idaho in organizing and carrying on will lead more boys to enter the agricultur- al classes; and it can in this way be of more service to the community. — G. F, ’25. Page Fifty-Nine THE TATTLER Music Miss Jennie Maltman lias had great suc- cess in the music department this year. The public performances, including the late win- ter concert and the operetta, were extreme- ly entertaining. Both Glee clubs as well as small groups, such as quartettes, trios, and solos, were asked to sing for many outside organizations and also at school functions. Even though the weather was bitter cold, a goodly number of Glee Club people drove out to the Industrial School to sing some Christmas Carols, for caroling has become an annual event; and then because there was no one on the streets of St. Anthony to sing to, they sang at the Rex Theatre. In March the Glee clubs and orchestra presented a free concert and sociable even- ing to the public. Refreshments were served with the various school organizations as guests. The annual operetta, a musical comedy, entitled The Lass of Limerick Town,” was given successfully to a delighted audience. Fifty members from both Glee clubs com- posed the cast and choruses. Betty McCoy was played by Gazel Sorenson, who was a source of delight to the audience with her demureness. Her cousin Rose McCoy, was Phyllis Alston, who has taken the leading part in the operettas for the three years that she has been here. Wylie Harris, a Senior, took the part of Captain Pomeroy Worthington who was the victim of a plot between the fair damsels mentioned above. Pom’s father and mother, Sir Charles and Lady Worthington, were Ronald Graham and Julia Miller. Mrs. O’Flynn, a motherly sort of person, was Charlotte Wright. Her son, who was in love with Rose McCoy, was dustin O’Flynn — Golden Cox. Elda Burrell added zest to the play in her role of the demure maiden. Molly. Her gallant lover, Mike, was Ovid Bailey. In the sec- ond act he also took the part of Ezra Q. Hicks, retired farmer with the spondulix The inn keeper, Pat, was no other than Ross Farnsworth, although he did look slightly enlarged with the aid of a pillow. Vilas Prater was very dignified in the grave part of Judge Hooley. Tom Moore” (not the movie actor) and Buck Powell,” the cat and the pup in the play, succumbed quite graciously to their role, and were afterwards “shot” by the photographer with the rest of the cast chorus. This year our music department had an organization which was greatly appreciated. The High School orchestra made its initial public appearance at Thanksgiving when it furnished the music for the high school play, “Daddy Long Legs”. It was a pleas- ant surprise to everyone. Since then it has had immense popularity and has before it a bright future. This is one organization that we want to see grow. The members this year have been faithful workers and we hope their success will encourage new mem- bers to join them. As yet the orchestra : ' s rather unbalanced in instrumentation. With effort and experience it will develop into a first -class orchestra, one of which St. Anthony High School may be justly proud. —V. P., ’27. To Springtime Hello. Springtime, don’t you hear me call- ing ? Why don ' t you come to me? It’s time you command the snow to stop falling And the South Wind to come to me. Why Springtime, don’t tell me that winter’s not over; What if it is still March? Why can’t we have roses and sweet- scented posies, And a sky with a flawless blue arch? Now Springtime, remember, we’re partners, you know, And you can’t go back on me now, After all of my pleading! Please make winter go. Even he to your beauty will bow! — C. L. W., ’2o. Page Sixty THE TATT LER t Page Sixty-One THE TATTLER Teachers’ Training Class The Teachers’ Training Class this year consisted of fourteen students, which made it the largest class that has ever been in this school. The aim of the class was to prepare those wishing to teach for the teachers’ examina- tions and for their following summer’s work at a Normal School. The teachers’ examinations were taken on the Eighteenth of April. Six examina- tions, in Spelling, Penmanship, Reading, History, Civics and Physiology, were taken on that day. The other three, which were Geography, Arithmetis, and Grammar, were studied by the class during the year. The results of the examinations proved most satisfactory. Everyone had an aver- age of eighty-five or above. Geography books were given to the four with the high- est average. Those receiving books were Genevieve Stewart, Beth Hoffman, Rosetta Lois and lone Jensen. Not all the members of the class went to summer school. Of those who did go, five went to the Albion State Normal and one went to Ricks College. The class discussed many problems they would have to con- tend with, such as programs, discipline, spea kers, sports, studying, punishment, and school contests. The class entertained the Senior Class and faculty at a picnic on May 13, at the Big “V” Dam. Every one reported a very good time. Also, the Teachers’ Training Class took a three day trip to the Craters of the Moon, where much information was obtained and a good time was enjoyed by all. The Class was a success — it could not be otherwise with such a supervisor as Miss Wood. Success can be obtained only through hard and constant work; and tiie class worked faithfully all during the year for the success which it achieved. — R. L., ’25. Declamation We can consider t lie declamatory con- test a success this year. And from the turn-out in the preliminary contest, we can look fcrward with great expectations for next year. The school contest was held Wednesday, March 25 The contestants were: Oratory — Julian Hibbert and Charles Lynch; Dramatics — Dot Powell, Erma Lloyd, Elmer Ludlow, and Vera Powell; Humorous — Elda Bur- rell, Martell Halgren, Holland George, and Ha .el Jacobs. The District contest was held here on Friday, March 27. All schools from Idaho Falls to Victor were represented. We were represented by: Oratory — Charles Lynch; Dramat ics — Erma Lloyd ; Humorous — Elda Burrell; and Extemporaneous Speaking- Chandler Garrett. The contest resulted in a great success for St. Anthony. We took three first places and one second place. The three first places went to Pocatello the Tenth of April to the State Contest. The trip was made in Miss Wood’s car. Miss Wood and Miss Van Duzee accompan- ied the contestants. Erma won third, but Chandler and Charles did not get a place. The school and contestants owe their support to Miss Wood for her whole- hearted support and her personal caoching. — C. L., ’25. Page Sixty -Two THE TATT LER Society At the beginning of the school term last September, we lacked what is known as social ‘“pep”. A “Get-Acquainted” party was suggested and was to be given the last Friday in September, but was later post- poned to October 13. (1924.) All the Fresh - ies were there hoping they would have the honor of dancing with some of the elegant Seniors, handsome Juniors, and Sophomore shieks that were in attendance. Everyone spent an enjoyable evening and expressed the desire for another such good time, soon. Their wish was granted, very soon, in fact. The Girls’ Athletic Association gave a dance October 24. Those present enjoyed themselves immensely. Finally the night of that long-expected Athletic Fun Fest arrived. This party was given by the losing teams of the Country Gentleman contest. This track meet we might call it. was held in the gymnasium. November 14. An abundance of good “eats” was on hand, also real track meet stunts were pulled off, in which Miss Cooper and Miss Schuette starred. A very clever Christmas party com- pleted our first semester parties. This one was given by the Sophomore class. A beau- tifully decorated Christmas tree stood in the center of the gymnasium. A Santa Claus distributed small gifts to every one present. Another party, or dance, was given Feb- ruary 13, 1925 under the auspices of the Girls’ Athletic Association. This one was a Valentine party. The gymnasium was very attractively decorated with white ami red hearts. The big event of the evening was the crowning of the queen, Cora Jack- son. Each class had a representative but the Seniors won first place, followed closely by the Freshman candidate, Florence Sharp. The season’s most important social event, the Junior Prom, was held March 13 in the Fogg Jacobs Hall. The decorations con- sisted of gold, green, and white, in honor of both the Junior and Senior classes. White bells, hearts, squares, and circles hung in profusion from the ceiling. Yellow and white roses decorated the windows, booths, and stage. “Hendrickson’s Har- monians” of Idaho Falls furnished the mu- sic. A number of parents and alumni were in attendance and every one had a delight- ful t.me. During intermission refresh- ments were served and the idea of a June wedding was carried out. The class of ’25 greatly appreciated the good time shown them. April 2 the Seniors decided to have a Sneak Day. When the Juniors heard of the plans, they immediately hit upon the idea of going after them Cars were secured and the clever(?) Seniors were caught just outside of Rigby, parked in the middle of the road. Because of their dislike for school the Seniors induced the Juniors to accompany them to Idaho Falls. The temp- tation was too great; they followed. The classes separated west of Idaho Falls be- cause of lack of luncheon. Immediately after noon Mr. Ellis, accompanied by Wylie Harris appeared on the scene, looking for the disobedient Seniors. They were “pret- ty scared” but he let them off easily be- cause it was their first (?) offense. After a very enjoyable day the two classes returned to St. Anthony. Next day they were sur- prised by a mental test in which all f them did very well — yes, exceptionally well. —“Pug” ’26 Page Sixty-Three THE TATTLER Calendar Being Simply the Recollections of the School Year, By a Junior September 1 — School opens. There were so many bewildered and rather dazed Freshmen running around loose that this day is not hard to remember. Fairly good start, however. September 2t — Opening of the Football season. Our first game was with Shelley. Of course we won. October 1 — Our first stroke of hard luck as regards teachers. The History teacher, Falks, was so unused to this climate that he found it necessary to leave. The girls of the High School hated very much to see him leave; Falks was very good looking and young. October 3 — Another Football game — this time with fatal results; we all nearly died when we heard the score; 37 to 7 in their favor. October 6 — The new history teacher ap- pears on the scene Another disappoint- ment for the girls — Mr. Thomas is married. October 13 — The cast for the Tattler play, “Daddy Long Legs,” is chosen. Quite an eventful day. Reed Coffin, who had been absent for a time with ty- phoid fever, returns to school and gives us all a shock; he appears in glory — with long pants. October 14 — Faye DeWiner announces the loss of her Hamlet. October 15 — Faye reiterates that she has lost her Hamlet. We heard you the first time, Faye. October 1( — Miss Faye DeWiner has lost her Hamlet. Will the finder please return it to her? October 17 — We played Driggs down here and beat them all to smash This is their first season for Football and they certainlv were game. Oh. by the way, that Hamlet is still gene — - October 20 — We came back to school this Monday to find that Hamlet is still gone. Was there ever such a Hamlet? O tober 21 — “My kingdom for my Ham- let!” October 22 — “I’d like to make an an no uncement, please — my Hamlet is still gone. Will the finder return it ?” October 23 — “Just a moment before we pass to classes. My Hamlet — ’’but we have passed on. October 30 — Hallowe’en. People’s clothes lines are missing, gates and fences have been carted off ' , and we get the whole bene- fit of a lecture from Miss Wood the next morning in Assembly. October 31 — We are still playing Football, but it seems that Idaho Falls can play it better than we can. At any rate, they beat us. November 7 — The Driggs game there Quite a rumpus over Lester Evans, but it all ended happily. November 1 1 — Armistice Day. November 25 — “Daddy Long Legs” pre- sented. A decided success. Ted and Wiley certainly know how to make love to each other, but I guess it comes from long prac- tice. Oh, just a minute, Faye’s Hamlet— still missing. November 27 — Thanksgiving, and all that pertains to it. November 28 — A holiday which we all need very much. You see, the day before was Thanksgiving. December 5 — Miss Elliott leaves for her home in North Dakota. December lb — The Sophomore party — they were very good to us. They even played Santa Claus and gave us each a small gift, which 1 thought was very sweet of them. Beginning of the Christmas holidays. January 2 — Beginning of the Basketball season. Pl ayed Ashton, and would you be- lieve it, the fellows were beaten by one point. Hard luck. January 5 — We return from the Christ- mas Holidays. Miss Wood is quite disgust- ed with us; she savs that the time we need a holiday most is the day immediately fol- lowing one. Of course we all agreed per fectlv. Another new teacher, Mr. Brunstein, comes to teach Mathematics. Page Sixty-Four THE TAT TLER January 9 — The Sugar game there — the hoys lost again. January 16 — Some more Basketball— Driggs. Oh. well, who expects to beat Driggs? No one ever does. More bad luck about our teachers. Miss Schuette left. What? Oh, to be married. By the way, more and more Basketball. The girls played Idaho Falls. No one needs to ask the result of the games the girls play; they’re directly opposite the boys. January 17 — Hurrah! The boys won a game. We beat Victor. January 19 — Today in English III Miss Van Duzee informed Burton Stevens that he was spoiled. We were all bursting to ask her just how she meant, but of course we didn’t dare. January 24 — Double header Basketball. The boys played Driggs and the girls Ash- ton. As I said once before, you needn ' t ask the result of either game. January 27 — Miss Badger comes to take Miss Schuette’s place. January 30 — Today started the feud be- tween the Junior and Senior girls. The Se- niors politely delivered an ultimatum to the Juniors which stated that the Juniors had to appear in knee skirts and cotton stockings. When some of the Juniors came to school in their regular clothes they had their skirts sewn up and their stockings changed. Quite an enjoyable day was spent by the Seniors, the Junior boys, the Sopho- mores, and the Freshmen. This same night the Junior Class pre- sented a Vaudeville to make money for the Prom. Every one who saw it was very mu h more than pleased. February 2 — The Senior girls and the Junior girls are still on excellent fighting terms. The Seniors requested the Juniors to keep their belongings cut of Mr. Ellis’ office, and the Juniors came back with an order for the Seniors to keep out of the cloak room. This resulted in the mirrors being stolen out of the cloak room. The Seniors then discovered that the hooks in the office had mysteriously disappeared. They are still gone, and so is the mirror; 1 suppose they will be found next year, probably at about 2 o’clock. February 6 — We are still engaged in the gentle art of trying to play Basketball, and it seems with better success. The boys bert Teton there. February 7 — The boys won again. This time they beat Teton here. For once the girls lost a game. Ashton beat them. February 12 — Mirror is still missing; so are the hooks. Oh, joy, Faye’s Hamlet has been returned. Really, you mustn’t shock us so, we might not survive. February 20 — The girls won ' t stay down long, that’s sure. They beat Idaho Falls. February 21 — The boys lost again. We are quite hardened, now, however, so we don’t mind it much. This time it was Ashton. The girls played Annis there — and the score was ridiculous: 60 to 3, or some- thing like that. As I have said, it is not necessary to ask who made the score of 60. February 27 — The girls felt awfully bad about it, of course, but they just had to beat Annis again; this time here. We felt awfully bad about this, too, but in a very different manner; Sugar beat us again, and we had only one point less than they. History will repeat itself, it seems. March 10 — The girls got it back on Vic- tor; they beat this time. March 27 — The Commercial contest at Pocatello; Cora Jackson placed first in typ- ing. The rest of the entries did not place at all, much to our sorrow. The District Declamatory contest, with the following results: Chandler took the extemporaneous speak- ing; Erma won the dramatic part; Charles captured the oratorical; and Elda came out second in the humorous. March 26 — The girls of Shelley battled to a finish for the State Basketball title with the Buhl team. Buhl won, with a score of 62 to 16. April 2 — The Seniors have a Sneak Day. The Juniors caught them, as all good .Ju- niors should. April 3 — The Forty Niners Ball was to have been given tonight, but it was indefi- nitely postponed. April 17 — The Tattler Carnival. Huge success, and every one had a lovely time, spending their money. April 27 — The annual operetta presented. This year it was “The Lass of Limerick”. Quite successful. Miss Wopd complimented it very highly. Page Sixty-Five THE TATTLER 0--9-0-.0. 0 ' 0 ' 0 ' 0 ' -0:0 0 0.-0.-0:0..0..0..0. ' 0. ' 0..0..0.� 0..0..0..0..0 ' .0..0. 0..9.

Just For Fun ’Twas early in September In October last July, The sun was shining brightly And the snow was in the sky; The flowers were singing sweetly And the birds were in full bloom, When 1 took a broom and went upstairs To sweep the downstairs room. The time was Tuesday morning On Wednesday, late at night I saw ten thousand miles away A house just out of sight; The door projected backward And the front was in the back; It stood alone between two others And was whitewashed black. Twas a dark and stormy night And the sun was shining bright; All! The villain’s lips were tightly sealed And he yelled with all his might. “Come kill me if you dare,” he said, “But kindly spare my life,” While the hero cut his head off, And shot him with a knife. — Exchange.

Nowhere else the soil was softer, Lived a squirmy, wiggly earth worm Lived the earth worm, Nick-a wee-nee. He was lord of his surrounding, Stronger was he than his brothers, So he lorded o’er the others, Ruled the underworld he lived in Domineered his fellow creatures. Soon the overbearing earth worm Weary grew of those around him, Slew them all and ate their corpses, Went in search of more adventure; Toiling downward ’till his progress Was prevented by the hardness Of the earth in that deep region. Then he turned his journey upward, Traveled to a higher level, Where the earth was warmed by sunshine. Seated in the yellow rose bush Was the robin, Chee-chee-taw-na, Was the music making robin Singing songs her very sweetest. Praised the work of the Great Spirit Present in the flowers and sunshine, In the many colored rainbow That was in the spray of water Coming from the garden sprinkler, Where the Robin bathed her feathers. When the robin stopped from singing Out of breath from her exertion, Heard a sound of rustling ’neath her And she held her head on one side With a twinkle in her bright eye For she knew it was the earth-worm, Flying down from in the rose bush Quickly seized the squirming earth-worm. A fine dinner for a robin, Thus ended Nick -a -wee-nee. — H. M„ ’25 Page Sixty-Six (a) T HE TATTLER Jvha A , Fret for All- M SS C oof”ir H ff$ Yt,s • y N .

MISCELLANEOUS SNAPS Page Sixty -Six (1 ) e o� a 3 •©« •«—«•••• THE TATTLER Football Report The Football season of 1924 was a suc- cess from several standpoints. There were more men out for football than any year previous and the team was successful iu aam.es played, winning four and losing two. The game played at Pocatello as our begin- ner was played within a few minutes after we arrived in cars, having driven through a storm from St. Anthony, so we expected to lose this game. Our next defeat was at the hands’ of Idaho Falls. Then we com- pleted the season winning from our old riv- als, Ashton, whom we beat in good fashion, twenty to NOTHING, on Armistice Day. Ashton had previously won from Idaho Falls eighteen to nothing. From a financial standpoint we were suc- cessful for we were able to buy considerable equipment. In the course of a year or two we hope to be well equipped with football material. The line-up was as follows: Ends — Ralph Fisher, Vilas Prater, Leland Ferney and James Ludlow. Tackles — Oel Hess, Ovid Bailey, Bill Breekenridge, James Martineau and Frank Edgington. Guards — Flovd Law, Gilman Fletcher an l Ross Torrey. The games played were as follows: Shelley 0 Pocatello 37 Driggs (At St. Anthony) j. 0 Driggs (At Driggs) 0 Idaho Falls 25 Ashton 0 Opponents 62 Mr. Ellis, Coach Centers — Ross Farnsworth, and Otto Powell. Half-backs — Clarence Larsen. Percy Wil- cox, Bill Stevens and Rulon Romrell. Full-backs- — Wylie Harris and Lester Evans. Quarter-Lacks— Lora n Summers a ul Burton Stevens.

Page Sixty-Seven T H E TATTLER LORAN SUMMERS Summers Second Year Quarter-back Loran was captain this year. He lead the team into every game and played heavy hall all the season. This is Lor an’s last year. WYLIE HARRIS Hairis Third Year Full-back Harris was a speedy and shifty back. He was one man who could always be relied upon to gain ground when it was needed. This is Harris’ . last year in High School football. JAMES MARTINEAU Jim First Year Tackle James was a new man at the game but when the season finished lie was de- veloping into a real player. We only re- gret that he will not lie back to play with u another year. BILL STEVENS Bill Second Year Half-back Bill was unfortunate to get his shoul- der hurt in the first game of the season and was out for a short time but he showed up good when he was in the game. This is another senior who has played his last year of High School football. Page Sixty-Eight THE TATT LER OEL HESS Hess Third Year Guard This is the first time in the history of the school that a man has been put cn the All Star team and this big boy has that honor. FLOYD LAW Law Second Year Guard Another senior who played heavy ball for the last time in High School uniform. Floyd was a valuable asset to the team and his playing will always be remem- bered. GILMAN FLETCHER Fletcher Sesond Year Guard Fletcher made a good running mate for Law playing the opposite guard. This is Gilman’s last year in High School. OTTO POWELL Powell First Year Center Otto did not get into action in many games this year but he was always re- liable and would give his best whenever he received the opportunity. Page Sixty- Nine T HE TATTLER RALPH FISHER Fish Second Year End Fisher was a first class end and al- ways gave his best. He was fast and never held back, but rushed the oppon- ents and caused them much trouble back of their own line. He will be back for next year. VILAS PRATER Prater Second Year End Vilas made a very good running mate for Fisher and the two of them working together, was the opponents greatest annoyance. Prater will be back to plar one mere year of football. ROSS FARNSWORTH Ross Second Year Center Ross played every game of the season. He was an accurate passer and caused the opponents much trouble on offense. Ross will be back for next year. BILL BRECKENRIDGE Breck Second Year Tackle Bill was unlucky this year and was crippled for the largest part of the year, but when he was able to enter the game he never shirked his duty. He was a power both on defense and offense. He will be back to play with the team next year. Page Seventy THE TATTLER CLARENCE LARSEN Larsen (Red Grange) Second Year Half-back Larsen was a hard worker and al- ways gave his best. He could he relied upon to get the man if possible. He was a good side-stepper and a constant ground gainer. OVID BAILEY Bailey Second Year Tackle Another unlucky man who had his shoulder hurt although he never stopped playing but kept bn trying to overcome the bruises on his shoulder Avithout missing practice. Ovid Avill be back next year. BURTON STEVENS Burt First Year Quarter-back Burt was little, but that did not both- er him, his motto Avas, “The bigger they are the harder they fall.” Burt will have a regular place on the team next year. RULON ROMRELL Rulon First Year Half-back Rulon was a hard worker and always gave his best when called upon. His ex- perience and practice will help him in next year’s playing. Rulon is looking to a regular position on the team next year. Page Seventy -One T HE TATTLER ROSS TORREY Ross First Year Guard Ross was working under a great hand- icap but lie always gave his best. He never missed a practice without good reason. Ross will be a power in the line next year. JAMES LUDLOW Jim First Year End Jim was a new and inexperienced man but he was a hard worker and seldom missed a practice. Jim will be back to play next year. BERT PARKER Bert First Year Guard Bert has two more years to play and the practice and experience that he re- ceived this year will be a vaulable asset to him. He will be a powerful man in the line as long as he plays in the game. FRANK EDGINGTON Frank Second Year Tackle Frank was late coming in but showed up well after he was in. Frank will be a powerful man in the line as he has plenty of strength and speed. He will be back to play next year. PERCY WILCOX Buzz Second Year Half-back Buzz was a hard worker and a consis- tent ground gainer. He loved the game and always gave his best. Percy has an- other year to play when we expect him to show up as a real star. L. 8., ’25. Page Seventy Two ‘V t : THE TATT LER Boys’ Basketball This season was not as successful as it might have been from the standpoint of winning a nd losing games, but the valuable training each man received was well worth while. We lost a large percent of our games, as the score showed, but morally we won in most of them. Our greatest weak- ness during the season was the failure to Do able to convert our tries for the basket, as our books show we tried more shots than our opponents. The opponent’s defense was not an unsoluble problem for us; we went through them time after time. It was a great deal easier for us to go through their defense than it was for them to go through our defense. The season’s schedule was played through without a regular cap- tain, a floor captain being designated by the oach before each game. The lineup was as follows: Forwards — Harris, Wilrox, Bill Stevens. Hammond and Larsen. Centers — Larsen and Edgington. Guards — Summers, Edgington, Powell and Harris. Men who played in some of our league games but did not earn their letter are: Ernest Colliding, Burton Stevens and Wayne Ard. There will be some of the men back to play next year and their experience will help the team a great deal. There is also a good reliable group of boys on the second squad this year, who ought to make a very good showing in the next few years The men who contributed much to the The games played are as follows: Ashton, at St. Anthony 15 Sugar City, at Sugar City s 6 Driggs, at Driggs 25 Victor, at Victor ; 1 1 Driggs, at St. Anthony 41 Teton, at Teton 1 20 Teton, at St. Anthony 17 Victor, at St. Anthony j 14 Ashton, at Ashton 22 Sugar City, at St. Anthony 20 Opponents 190 Mr. Thomas, Coach team and received valuable training for years to come and made possible the team of this year are: Garn Tuckett, Parke Soule, Lloy Prater, Austin Green, and Bi‘!

Or the pattTing drops of rain ? Sunshine or cloudy weather, Was it always just the same? Maybe some river called you, Where you could cast your fly, Or perhaps some shadowy pool Where speckled beauties lie. This fever’s called “The Wanderlust,” And it will lead you far, It’s an annual spring caller, Xo matter where you are. What’s the cure of this dread disease? Some folks often wonder; But you know, and 1 know, The only cure’s to wander. — E. R., 20. Page Seventy- Four 1 H E TATTLER WYLIE HARRIS Wearer of Suit Number 1. Fast, shifty, and with plenty of natural abil- ity. A man feared by our opponents and the object of their every provocation to to have him removed from the games. Second high point man for the season. Showed that old fighting “Irish spirit” on several occasions. Uses a diet of Rice for training. LORAN SUMMERS Old Faithful Number 2. Playing at a guarding position, with little opportun- ity to score for his team, he proved him- self one of our hardest working main- stays. A perpetual puzzle to our oppon- ents when defending our goal. Acted as floor captain in several games. Loran will be missed on the next season’s lineup. CLARENCE LARSEN Suit Number 8. Long, lean, and lanky and able to slip the tight places where he was always to be found. Played a strong defensive as well as offensive game, and was third high point man. Floor captain in some of the games. WILLIAM STEVENS Number 4. Hard worker, when he hadn’t been up too late the night before. Bill was a good little man, but was a shade too light to mix with the heavy- weights we ran up against in our inter- scholastic games. Faithful in practice, and on the job all of the time. J Page Seventy-Five THE TATTLER PERCY WILCOX Number 5. Old Chief Slmts-His-Eves- And-Runs. Buzzy got liis training on the football floor in good shape. A good, hard, steady player that will bear watch- ing in another year. In the few games he played he gained enough points to rate him fourth for the season in scor- ing ability. Doesn’t believe that smok- ing injures one’s wind. FRANK EDGINTON Number fi. The outstanding player of cur season, and a real inspiration to the rest of the squad. Center and floor captain for most of the games. Plays a strong defensive game, and tops the list for points scored. Ladies’ favorite. OTTO POWELL Number 7. Gibralter has nothing on Powell for being immobile and a tower of defense. A steady, and heady player. Strong at defensive work and capable of slipping in a basket now and then. Plays with that smile that won’t wear off. MARION HAMMON Number 8. Always greases his Angers with butter before going on the floor. He says the ball slips off better. Marion is a good, hard, steady player, and should make a valuable man for next year’s team. Page Seventy-Six THE TATTLER Girls’ Basketball The first game played during the season was with Idaho Falls. This was our closest game, the score being 28 to 2!) in our favor. On the first half the Idaho Falls girls were ahead; but when the second half started the score immediately increased on our side. The following Friday we met the Ashton girls on our floor. This was an easy game, the score 43 to 33. For St Anthony an- other victory was won and for Ashton an other defeat. On February C, we met Ashton on their floor and for the first time in two years wo were defeated, by a score of 21 to 18. We spent a merry night, and the next day took the train for Victor, to be again defeated. Victor piled the score up on us this time 34 to 25. We came home very downhearted. February 20 we went to Idaho Falls. Every one expected us to get defeated again, but we scored another victory, mak- ing 24 pouts to their 18. The next evening we played the Annis team and again we v r on. The score was 57 to 3, The next Saturday, Annis came to St Anthony and the outcome of this game was 39 to 13 in favor of St. Anthony. Our next game was the only one we wished to win if we never won another, and win we did. This game was with Victor on our floor. It was a hard game, but we came out ahead with a winning team, 28 to 21. This was our last game. Although we had not the same team we had last year w e had one just as good. We made a good showing and we hope to do the same next year. Miss GREENHECK, Coach St. Anthony Visiting Teams 29 28 43 33 IS 21 25 34 24 18 57 3 39 13 28 21 2(53 71 — 11.

The Challenge was accepted and a date set for April 24. Practice was then pushed to the utmost to get the team in shape for the event. But about a week before the meet Ralph Fisher, hurdler, sprinter, and relay man. be- came sick and was in bed until the day be- fore the day of the meet. Because he was so weak, lie was not able to do very much. But we went down to try, however. We made a very good showing even then, be- ing beaten by only nineteen points which we feel sure Ralph could have captured for us had he been in shape.

State Track Meet All first and second places in the dis- trict were sent to Pocatello to the State Track Meet where champions were decid- ed. Because of the excessively short per- iod of time which we have for training up in this valley our team of six which were sent to the Meet were out-classed by the other parts of the state. Oel Hess, Wylie Harris, Dean Tracey, Ralph Fisher, Rulon Romrell, and Ross Farnsworth were the men sent to represent St. Anthony at the Meet.

Page Eighty-Five THE TATTLER Fatal Gold Slowly, a little caravan descended into tlie small, shallow canyon of Spring Creek. It was led by one -led Haskins — a tall, I n it stooped, rawboned and weather-beaten man of about sixty-five years of age. His face was rugged but honest appearing, and from the corner of each eye extended a crow-foot wrinkle which accentuated the twinkle of hiis eyes and general appearance of his features. Jed was well-known and much liked in the settlements, and was fa- miliarly known as “Dad” Haskins. He had 1 een prospecting around the lulls by what is now Kilgore — about fifty miles from here — for the last forty years, and it was then 1880. The other two members of the cara- van were Doll — a small submissive and gentle-mannered pack horse — and Jim — an old, rawboned, sturdy saddle-horse. He was an animal that you would associate with his master — not handsome or “classy,” but faithful, honest and a general favorite. As the party stopped Jed looked around and said, “Wal, Jim, this looks good as any — wood, water and shelter. Guess we ' ll (amp here, seein’s how it’s gettin’ late.” As he slowly pulled one leg over the sad- dle preparatory to dismounting, he emitted a groan and said. “Gawsh, Jim, ain’t as spry as I uster be. Hard fer me to get around now. Guess’ll go (low ’n git some water and wood and build a fire and make some coffee.” So saying he started to carry out his plan. As he stooped to get some sagebrush, he suddenly uttered an exclamation: “Hm, ! oks like pay dirt, Jim. 1 bet it is.” These remarks he had uttered at every stopping place for tli least forty years and had found no “pay dirt” yet. but had still re tabled hope; maybe it was just habit. Nevertheless) he unpacked his pick, shovel and pan, and after digging for a time trans- ferred a spadeful of dirt to the pan and went down to the creek, where for half an hour he washed the dirt, becoming so ab- sorbed in his work that he did not hear the approach of a stranger who had been at- tracted by Haskin’s fire. The newcomer was short and heavy set, with thick bull- neck and a full heard. His eyes were set close together and glittered maliciously as they watched the prospector. He appeared to be about fifty years old, and was known as Bart Williams. Suddenly, Jed raised the pan to get a better light and closely examined the ma- terial in the pan. Williams, ever cautious, quickly withdrew behind a bush as he noted the action and watched for further action. Then, “Dad” suddenly seemed to go wild. Throwing his hat in the air and dropping the pan he capered about like a child. “I ' ve struck it, I’ve struck it. I’m rich,” he shouted. But his ardor soon got a rather violent cooling for as he capered too near the edge, his foot slipped and lie fell into the icy water over his head — it was the middle of November and the days were get- ting short and cold. But “Dad” in his joy never minded the cold, and so climbing to the bank he started for the fire. Mean- and had done so. while, Williams had seen fit to disappear But instead of changing clothes and get- ting between blankets, Haskins sat by the fire, shivering and day dreaming, till late at night when he finally started to go to bed. His clothes were by then just damp and aitho he noticed a peculiar tightening in his chest he paid no attention to it and went to bed with his damp clothes on. Next morning when he got out of bed, h:s chest seemed burning up and he had a racking cough which would leave him faint and weak after a coughing spell. But in his excitement, he paid no attention to it and went to work washing gold all day, while Williams watched with evil satisfac- tion from a clump of trees a quarter of a mile distant. Next morning Jed was worse, being scar- cely able to move around; but he forced himself to continue, thinking he would get better. The next day he was unable to leave the bed, just lying there suffering from a terrible gripping feeling in his chest and seeming barely able to survive the coughing spells. The next day the cough had given way to pneumonia, which was fast gaining hold on the weakened, old frame. Williams had, meanwhile, decided to stav and not “jump” the old man’s claim imine- I’ai ' e Eighty- Six THE TATTLER 1 ia tel v, as ho had originally intended to do, but to wait developments and maybe get control of the mine with no opposition or hindrance at all. Each night he had stealth- ily visited the camp to ascertain the con- dition of the old prospector. On the third night after Jed had taken to bed, Williams could detect no motion of the chest or face and concluded that he was dead. Wanting to make sure, however, he crept up and carefully put his ear to the miner’s chest. He finally detected very fa nt action but he knew it was the la t night Haskens would ever live. So, turning, he carelessly started to depart, but stum- bled over some pans, making a loud noise. The patient’s eyes opened slowly and he gradually took in the scene so clearly, il- luminated by a full moon. Finally he spoke, “Who — is — it?” Williams, seeing no further need for se- crecy or caution, decided to tell everything and then gloat over the other’s discomfit- ure and rage. So he said, “Me, Bart Wil- liams.” “Wliy’re — you here ? What do you want?” followed by a long groan of pain. “I’m waitin’ for ya to kick off. Then it 11 be mine,” he replied with an eviil leer. “Have what ?” and then as he slowly per- ceived by the look on the other’s face the full meaning of his words, by a tremendous effort which took all his failing strength, he raised himself to his elbow and cried hysterically, “You’re after my gold. You can’t have it. It’s mine, mine. You can’t get it.” As his strength failed he fell back on his bed and closed his eyes, gasping for breath and groaning from pain. He quiv- ered spasmodically. The other grinned with satisfaction and said, “You’ll not stay long. Then I’ll take you to town and nobodyTl ever suspect that anything happened. Then I’ll get it. I’ll get the gold and I’ll be rich.” The old prospector gathered his remain- ing strength and putting it all into one last effort, opened his eyes, raised himself on his elbow, and said between gasps in a tone of voice that made Williahs shudder. “Williams, you— waited for me — to die not help me — you want — my gold. I swear that from now — on, anyone — who finds mv gold— will never enjoy it, but will wish they’d — not found— it. You — will he first. The — mine — will — .” And with a shuddering groan he dropped back to the bed. Jed Haskins had made his last mortal move. For a while Williams stood thinking, and then with a harsh laugh he turned and strode over to his camp. Next morning, loading the body on the pack horse and riding his own horse, he set out for St. Anthony with samples of the gold and his outfit. Arriving in St. Anthony, he told of find- ing Haskins dead. Then he went to the f 1- ing office and filed claim on the mine, locat- ing it by mere landmarks. Then winter set in and he had to wa t till spring. VY men spring came he went out to the mine and started work with the old outfit of Jed Haskins. The mine proved to be very rich; and for a time he worked it su ‘cessfully. Then one day as he was picking some of the ground, his foot suddenly slipped on n rock and the descending pick struck his foot. The wound was very painful; but Wil iams, enthused with the gold lust, water and pa d no further attention to it. merely washed out the wound with creek He continued to hobble around to work. The second day the foot was badly swollen, out it was only as it naturally would be- - so Bart thought. The third day it was swollen worse and badly infected, but the man continued to hobble around. The fourth day the veins were red and swollen up to the knee and burned like fire; but the miner, ignonant of blood poisoning, contin- ued to hobble around and made no efforts to get to a habitation. But the next day as the swelling and red veins had progressed farther up the leg and Wili ams was unable to even hobble, he decided it was serious, and after tying himself on his horse gave the animal full lein he fainted in the saddle from pain. Toward afternoon he became delirious, mumbling about gold, picks, miines and rav ng about the curse of Dad Haskins. The horse had, when given free rein, ei- ther sensed or remembered a habitation and help to the southwest, and had kept to that direction all morning and afternoon. Finally it arrived at the back yard of an old hermit-settler — the only person in that part of the country. The horse nickere l gently and soon the hermit came to the Page Eighty- Seven THE TATTLER door to see what t lie disturbance was. What he saw was a delirious, half -crazed human being, who was apparently about to fall off his horse. After untying him, he carried him into the log cabin and laid him on a rude bed. Williams’ lips were swollen and black, anil his tongue was swollen and protruded half out of his mouth. His face was ghastly white and puffed almost beyond recogni- tion. and the swelling and redness of veins was well past the thighs, and the poison had already reached and seemingly stopped the heart astion. Ts the hermit listened he could detect very faint heart action. After forcing a dose of brandy down the sick man’s throat, the hermit waited, not know ing what else to do. After a bit he seemed to revive, but was too far gone to more than mumble deliriously a few words. “Gold — Haskins — mines — curse — my gold — fo — ,” and with thaat he lapsed to unconscious- ness, followed by the eternal sleep. The tirst prophesy was fulfilled and should we know the rest of the “curse” we would probably find it to be fulfilled. With the deaths of those two men, went the sec- ret of the location of the Lost Gold Mine. — E. F., ’26. The Waterfall That mass of falling water filled the air with spray; It drove from me my thoughts, and made me stand in awe. Discomfit still comes back, and would w thin me stay, Were not there more than dizzy raging that I saw. I could not stand to hear that deaf’ning, roaring hell; To only look at it — and dizzy went my eyes. There on the edge of that abyss, I would have fell Had I not grasped a tree below, that still there lies. Yet there was nothing dead around that could be seen. The flowers sparkled, thriving with a sunny dew. The trees were living in a rocky, mossy green Contrasting mildly, with a mingling rain- bow hue. They lived, in fact, in spite of law. for care received ; And made a view that no one ever will portray. To cheer and make disheartened man, in God believe Some power made that beauty there to ever stay. — E. L., ’26. Page Eighty-Eight THE TAT TLER Gastranome ‘ ' Well, but listen, Dad, I don’t think it will hurt.” Mark, I said NO.” “Yes but Dad — ” “I will hear no more.” Mark turned away disconsolately, As he came out on the porch, he heard a dull roar that told workmen were blasting the moun- tain-side to put in the new railroad. It was just a feW miles distant from the Weyaman estate, and Mark’s young heart longed mightily to see the blasting take place. But his Dad had said that it was no place for boys who were only ten years old, and so Mark stayed at home. The blasting continued for half an hour, and Mark, sitting on the porch, saw the sheriff coming in his car. Mark ran out into the road and called to his friend: “Hi, Mr. Dawson, where you goin’ ?” “To the accident.” “Accident! Oh, gosh, where?” “A keg of powder exploded in the cave be- hind the chief engineer’s shack, and blew the shack to pieces, and just ruined the cave. I am going up to see just what has happened. Want to come along?” A happy look came over Mark’s face, and he prepared to get in beside Mr. Dawson. Then his face fell dismally as he bethought himself of his father’s command. The youthful Harold Rawson, sheriff of that county, had hard work to keep) a straight face at the expressions that came and went over the countenance of Mark as he stood by the car. Ho in and tell your Dad 1 will take good ( are of you,” said Dawson. “Then maybe he will let you go.” Mark started up the walk, but his father, hearing voices, had come to see if he was wanted. After a lengthy and somewhat fiery conversation, Mark rode away with h ' s friend. When they arrived at the scene of the disaster, Mark ran straight to the cave. No ( lie was concerned about the cave, because the engineer’s wife was injured and a doc- tor and all the men were with her. After seeing that he could do nothing, Mark went to the cave. He had heard vague stories about the pre- sence of wild-cats in the neighborhood, and he thought the cave a very likely place for them to have a home. He listened again, and he fancied he heard a faint cry, which to him was certain proof of the presence of cats. The entrance to the cave was not to- tally destroyed, so, on hands and knees, Mark crawled through the entrance. The rocky wall of the cave was of such hard material that the explosion had harmed it but very little. Mark’s precious electric torch, which he took even to bed with him, was a useful necessity now. Crawling cautiously, he had gone but a short dis- tance when he came abruptly upon a big stone in the passageway. From under the stone, sticking out toward him, was what locked like a dirty, yellow rope. Mark crept closer and examined it. He took hold of it, and was rewarded by its thrashing angrily to one side while an angry, agon- ized yowl came from under the rock. Mark jumped back, his heart going like a trip- hammer, and then started to laugh exult- antly. He knew what the rope was; it was a wild-cat’s tail! After tugging and pulling mightily for what seemed to Mark to be a century, iie finally succeeded in pulling the stone to one side. What a sight greeted his eyes! There lay a full-grown wild-cat, dead, and about her were five tiny kittens, dead also. As lie looked, he heard a faint, little yowl, and he saw the fur of the mother cat stir slight- ly. under the shoulder that she was lying on. Mark hopped over the dead animal to investigate. And there, by some saving miracle of Chance, was a kitten, alive and crying pitiably for his mother. Mark picked the little fellow up, talking sooth- ingly all the while to him, and with him in one arm, using his torch, he made his way from the cave. When he got out he found that the engin- eer’s wife had been taken to town, and the men were busy clearing away the debris. The incident had not occupied more than an hour, although to Mark it seemed to have been an eternitv. As he emerged from the cave, he called to the men for them to come lOi.vhty-Nini THE TATTLER and see what lie had. They all came run- ning, and he proudly displayed the tiny, spitting, frightened morsel of fur in his arms. “Well, sonny, what are you agoin’ to do with it?” asked one of the men. “Oh, boy, he’ll make a dandy pet. I’m goin’ to keep him!” At this answer the men laughed and one man told him he had his hands full of fu- ture danger at that moment. On Mark ' s arrival home there was an- other fiery session. Mark’s father, although a quick-tempered, hard man, had the inter- ests of his only son and his baby daughter at heart. He said that in two years the eat would be big enough to kill a man, and he was not going to have the lives of his fam- ily and bis neighbors put in jeojardv just for a whim of his son. Mark’s mother, hoAv- ever, interposed, and in the end. Castran- ome. for that was what Mark called the cat. was allowed to become one of the family. Two years had pssed, and during that time Mark had lovingly trained Castranome to be a veritable circus performer. Mark himself had grown tall and lithe and slim. He and the cat had great times together, but Mark’s sister, Maxine, who was now about six, was the big cat’s favorite. Cas- tranome could always be trusted to take care of the tiny, flaxen-haired little girl, who looked like a doll, so dainty and pretty was she. Castranome even permitted his dignity to be hurt bv allowing his beautiful, imperious little mistress to ride on his back, and he was so big that he made an excel- lent horse for Maxine. One day, Maxine and the big cat were walking in the woods on the Wevaman es- tate. Maxine, who was walking with her hand on the scruff of Castranome’s neck suddenly felt the fur go stiff ' , and a deep growl rumbled deep down in Castranome’s throat. Startled, the little girl looked hast- ily around, but there was no evidence of anyone or anything around them. The only thing she could hear was a queer buzzing rattle that seemed to come somewhere from around her feet. She could feel Castran- ome’s muscles rippling and quivering in readiness for a spring. As he sprang some- thing shot up from the grass, out of the end of which flashed a forked tongue-like thing. Of course, you have guessed what it was, just as Castranome’s instinct told him that here was his hereditary enemy, the rattler. His golden eyes gleamed and shot fire as his hate boiled up within him. And then there was that gentle little hand on his neck, whose light touch he would do anything to keep unharmed. The heavy fur which cov- ered his sleek body protected him from the sting of the snake. Castranome’s powerful jaws caught the snake just behind the head and its body was severed from it. Castra- nome’s agility, natural and trained into him. coupled with unusual intelligence, had saved the life of the only daughter of the house of Wevaman. After Maxine’s adventure became known, Castranome was elevated to high esteem in her father’s eyes, and never again was a complaint voiced against Castranome in that home, or that neighborhood. — P. A., ’26. Slow and Steady Wins the Race It was very quiet in the office of Mr. Scott, except for the occasional click of the typewriter. Miss Johnson, a stenographer who worked more on the outside of her head than on the inside, was typing a let- ter. She stopped, drew the paper from the typewriter and tore it up, and threw it into the waste paper basket. Mr. Scott, her employer, was a man who assumed a strictly business-like attitude. He was good to his employees but they knew that the work turned in to him must be in first-class manner. He walked into the main office and hung his hat on the ra k. “Miss Johnson. I am having a young lady help you this week and maybe stay longer, but we need her especially through the rush. You know I want that circular to be out before Wednesday and we have got to Page Xinety THE TAT TLER get down to business now and get out some work. I will try and be back by six o’clock.” Jimmy, the office boy, was busy running the multigraph. He had been listening to t lie boss. When Mr. Scott had gone he turned around and said with a grin: Oh, WE have got to get down to busi- ness — he meant YOU have got to speed up a little.” “Isn’t that the way things go? I wanted to get off early tomorrow and go to the marceller. If it isn’t one thing with Mm it’s always two, Jimmy, get me some more paper out of the drawer, will you?” “What, again ? I give you a new supply of paper twice a day.” “Well, I want always to turn in perfect copies. And I always do, don ' t I?” “Yes, and you waste enough paper to supply two ordinary stenographers and a furnace.” Miss Johnson started to fix her notebook to work. “Hurry now, these letters have got to be out before six. I wonder what the new girl will be like. I suppose she will be some quiet and easy-going sort of person. Oh, well 1 don’t care as long as she deosn’t cheat me out of my job and I don’t worry over that any because I have held this job over a year now.” She put some more pa- per into the typewriter and started to type rapidly; she made a mistake on her trans- cript and tore it up. Jimmy grinned, “Well at any rate, I hope that girl won’t be so wasteful. Mr. Scott would gain if he would hire another sten- ographer; it wouldn’t cost him so much, he could hire another one with the extra mon- ey it takes to keep you supplied in paper.” “Never mind, Jimmy, you know how par- ticular Mr. Scott is. I’ll bet the girl will hand in errors by the wholesale. Never you mind about me; I think I can manage. They worked on for about an hour, nei- ther saying much. At about five-thirty the door opened and Mr. Scott entered. He spoke to them cheer- fully and went into his private office. They had not been working long when the door again opened and a girl entered. She was very pleasant looking. She inquired if Mr. Scott was in. Jimmy took her into his office. Oh,” he said, “that’s the stenographer he should have. Here’s hoping she lands the job.” “I do hope she makes a good impression on the boss, for I do need help even if she is slow.” In a few minutes Mr. Scott entered. The new girl was with him.” “Miss Johnson, this is Miss Williams; she will help you this week. And this is Jimmy, the office boy.” Jimmy was indeed pleased to meet her; he liked the idea of this girl working in the office. Mr. Scott got his hat and left. Miss Johnson got up and walked over to Miss Williams. “Now, this will be your typewriter. If you need anything Jimmy will get it for you. If you need any help call on me. I ' m going home. You may come at eight in the morning. The next morning Jimmy was at the office bright and early. He had everything shining when the rest came to work. All morning they worked steadily and had little to say. At noon Miss Williams hand- ed Mr. Scott some work. She proved to be very good. She wsa slow but sure in her work. Mr. Scott was very much pleased with her. He came into the main office. Miss Johnson, I would like to see you a few minutes before you leave tonight. Miss Williams, will you re-copy this please? Perhaps you can cut down on the errors a little. You may leave your work a moment,” At six o’clock Miss Johnson went abrupt- ly ' into Mr. Scott’s office. “Miss Johnson, this is the end of the month and pay day. I believe I can dis- pense with your services from now on. Miss Williams has proven to be excellent.” He handed her the check and she left. The next morning Jimmy was not a little surprised to miss her coat. In fact he was glad. Miss Williams worked there for a long time. Mr. Scott liked her work exceed- ingly well, as also did Jimmy. In the course of several years Jimmy became a partner of Mr. Scott and Miss Williams later signed her name as Mrs. James Smith,. She had learned that it was not only speed that counted in business but accuracy. — O. H., ’25. Page Ninety -One THE TATTLER Education As An Asset To Success “Knowledge is power.” — Bacon. Tnto the world’s Hall of Fame have come great figures in endless variety — men of wealth and poverty, men with strong bodies and with weak, men from high positions and from humble. In Science, Art, and in Wail — in fact in any field of human effort in which men have won immortality through great achievement — you will find men of every mode of thought and of every manner of living. But one thing they all had in common, and that was t lie power of knowledge, or education. Whatever one’s peculiar calling, his expert ness is more telling if it rests up- on a basis of general culture. Culture means on intellectual background. It means that you have not only your own thoughts to drive you on to success, but also the thoughts of others. Education gives you perspective, increases your personality, and strengthens your in- fluence on the outer world. It keeps you from becoming a mere person, for you be- come a human being, alive, vibrant, radiat- ing. In other words, it makes you Some- body, not just Anybody. Many people have risen in the business world only to find themselves lost because they did not acquire a liberal education, but ceased to study and to keep their edu- cation up-to-date after their schooling was over, If these persons had acquired an ed- ucation and continued to enrich it, they would have prospered and. become leading men and women; instead, they were forced back into the cog of the wheel that is ruled over by the educated. There is no excuse for people of to-day not acquiring an education so that they may rise to success from the cog of the wheel, for there are books that a fifth grad- er may read and prosper by. The only things that prevent any person from acquir- ing useful knowledge are laziness, self- indulgence, weakness and procrastination. The progress of mankind is usually mea- sured in its material aspects by the increase in the population of the globe and in its w r ealth, and in the number and value of ob- jects useful to man— but if it was not for the steady increase of knowledge, nothing could progress and Success would be im- possible. There is no single thing so essen- tial to Progress and Success, in whatever calling, as Education. The changes, inventions, and discoveries of modern times have already remade the world. They have revolutionized our lives. We must, therefore, keep up our education if we w T ish to gain Success in this day and age. — E. S„ ’27. ' The Story of a Silent Man As I wound my way up the steep trail, 1 suddenly came upon a clearing surround- ed b v steep cliffs, which seemed to have no other opening than the one by which I had entered. There was something peculiar about a cliff to my right, and as I looked, a perfect image of a man’s face carved in the stone stood before me. At the foot of the face, almost under the chin, a small (■old spring bubbled forth, and the lofty pines and thick timber grass invited me to lie down and rest. Long I gazed on the face, till several times 1 thought it w r as go- ing to speak. Then I felt drowsiness creep over me and 1 closed my eyes for a mom- ent, it seemed; and the old stone face spoke. “Many years have I stood here; I have watched men’s unquenchable thirst for gold; I have seen blood and strife, toil and hardships; ! have seen young men come and go out old, ragged, and poor, till men ceased to come altogether. “One day an old man came — much too old to work — but he drank of the pure water of this spring and set out. Many days lie toiled up and down these rugged cliff ' s; but never did he find as much as an ounce of gold. At last, when he was worn out and exhausted, in his stumblings he wandered Page Ninety -Two THE TATT LER to the tall pine tree to your right; then to the tall cottonwood tree in the center of the aspen grove; then he took about twen- ty paces to the east, which brought him in line with a scrub pine and a large wind- worn rock. And there he found what he was looking for.” 1 awoke with a start and found the sun almost setting. Could I really have slept that long? I rubbed my forehead and again lived over the conversation of the silent man. Directly I turned around, and there to my right stood the tall pine tree. I hurried over and began my search for the aspen grove, which was easily found. 1 hurried on. telling myself that it was all a fairy tale; but something inside me com- pelled me to go on. And to my surprise, in front of me stood the tall cottonwood. J quickened niv pace till I reached the tree. Then I stepped off twenty paces to the east. And there, as plain as day, was the old cedar and the wind-worn rock. Almost frantically I rushed to it; and prone on the earth in front of me lay the long bleached, white skeleton of a man. Close to one bonv hand lay a nugget of gold; and there by the rock was a rusty pick and a pile of gold nuggets and numerous buckskin bags filled with gold dust.

A soft, squashy bank of clay; Dare feet, a-digging the roots of a vine. On a springy, sunshiny day. A pool full of trout of the speckly sort, A can full of bait “that’ll pay,” The friendly wag of the tail of Sport. And perhaps the snatch of a lay. The teacher, a rod and and a scolding tongue And wavering, lisping excuses; His teacher, so dear, ahold of his ear. Administering corrective abuses. A hearty, gay chuckle somewhere below From a mischievous brown beaver; A note that’ll go to his parents, 1 know, And all for a case of Spring Fever. And now he is an old, old man, A -thinking of a brown beaver, Of hooks and lines, of teachers and dogs. And wishing he had — the Spring Fever. — B. H., ’20.
