And as you listen to the driver of 3026, Michael Macline, who sits perched up on the deck of his big prairie Hyer, a misty shadow in the soft gloom of the roundhouse, whose darknesses are intensified by the soft burr of the oil burners and the song of the safety valves, a strange admiration wells up within you for the rail demons who make it a business to urge on their engines to speed ever greater, and, having attained it, are not satisfied but must needs make more. Flynn Burman entered the roundhouse as a sweeper, performer of endless menial tasks. Shortly after he was promoted to wiper: eventually he became a fireman, going over to the right hand side of the cab a few months later as the result of a sudden increase in traffic. A disastrous passenger wreck in which both engineers with their firemen were killed gave him control of the Northern Limited, the North-North Railroad Company's crack flyer, a position he main- tained until-well until his race was run. I0 THE TAI-IOMA As a fireman he was a splendid success, as an engineer he was even better. He was never late, never early, always there to the dot. His friends were few, that is, intimates. Of course every man on the line liked him, in a way, but none of them ever succeeded in getting beyond his impenetrable reserve. Ques- tions he answered in a manner almost curt, save when they had to do with the great machine he drove. Once they started him to talking of a locomotive, no one could stop him. He lived for his engine, he loved it. He was forever playing with it, adjusting it. Its brasses shone like the burnished sun, piston rods and connecting rods, all bright steel, flashed like streamers of light from a silvered moon. The master mechanic knew that Burman's engine was the finest on the section, that is why he arranged the North-South Coast race as he did. After Hxing up everything he suddenly remembered that he had not spoken to Burman about it. That worried him constantly up to the time he told the engineer, and even after. Burman was crawling out from between the great drivers when the master mechanic came up. Burman, I want you to run a race. USO? Quite a non-committal reply, peculiarly laden with challenge, nevertheless. We've arranged it so that the North-Limited will run to Smyrna in an attempt to get there before the South-Coast Limited reaches Fir Crossing. You've got to go five miles further: in addition you have to pull the president's car, but you can do it if you want to, Burman. This isn't official, of course, it's discountenanced by the company's rules, but everybody up to the old men on both sides have decided to find out who's best. They'll be having a daredevil driver, and they say the finest engine in America. Burman scowled. His was the finest engine, and he told the Master Me- chanic so. Did you say 'attempt' to beat them? he leered. The Master Mechanic grinned foolishly. No, just beat 'em, and do it good and hard, he explained. As the engine clicked through the frogs that night, every one of the more traveled people aboard experienced a new, hitherto unknown feeling. Something drew them irresistibly back into their seats and held them there. A few miles out a new quality came into the tearing train. It was a sensation much like flying, with only the horrible dizzying curves to bring one back to earth. After an eternity of terror, the passengers realized that the train stood still. The time card told of a five minute stop at Smyrna. By consulting their watches, they learned that they had not five but twenty minutes to stay there. The Master Mechanic figured it out later, finding to his vast consternation ethat Burman had averaged one hundred miles an hour. Possibly you are skeptical: if you are, ask Macline. THE TAHOMA ll You done fine, cried the Master Mechanic to Burman two days later. Thank you, returned the driver, but just wait until I run my race,my race! he added. That was all, but it set several tongues wagging. That is all some tongues are meant for--wagging. A For weeks nothing unusual happened. Then one night as they sat in the roundhouso together--wipers, firemen, and a few engineers-some wires, strung high up in the' building for a purpose long since forgotten, began a weird, un- earthly, yet altogether melodious song, sounding as if it had come through a vast void of clarifying space. That, said a young man to whom a delightful recreation made itself apparent in ancient history, that sounds like the Music of the Spheres, if ever such a thing could be. Sonic one asked him curiously what he meant. The Egyptians had a notion that the planets in their flight produced a music too fine for the mortal ear to hear. They imagined that the melody was meant for the gods alone. And this pretty conceit, finished up the dispenser of history, with a flourish, they called the Music of the Spheres. Don't sound pretty to me a bit, growled an old engineer. The last time them wires sang that way Crifhth was killed, and on the same night. Yeah, and on the time before that 'twas the Long Curve wreck. d'you 'member? whined Gilson. They say, whenever those wires gets a-singin' like they is now, that the next engine out'll be wrecked. Some gazed apprehensively at Burman, who still monkeyed with his engine. ' ' Hear that, Flynn? chuckled Macline, who at that time fired for Bur- man. Maybe we'll fly the coop tonight. Yes, I heard, and maybe I willg but you won't, he twitted the fireman. Hear 'im, would you! He, why he's agoin' to rescue me! cackled Macline. Mac was the only one who dared take liberties with Burman. Nevertheless, Burman felt decidedly uneasy, despite his attempt at jocu- larity. Why, he did not exactly know. Something was wrong somewhere. Whether it was in his mind or whether it was the engine he was unable to de- cide. Yet it must be the engine. He sensed, seemingly in every nerve. So long and so carefully had he cared for his machine that he seemed more a part of it than anything else. And he could not decide where the trouble lay. The safety valve sobbed, choking as if trying to tell him something that he could not see. Even the water in the glasses rose and fell apprehensively. It was weird, uncanny. When the limited came in thirty minutes late it added to the high tension in the roundhouse. I2 T1-IE. TAI-IOMA A freight engineer shook hands shamefacedly with Burman, at the same time expressing hope that the driver might come back safe. Altogether it was a most uncomfortable departure. Running his engine lightly back, Burman coupled her to the waiting cars.. The conductor gave his signal, the throttle was opened. Gently, so gently that one could scarce discern the movement of the piston rods. A dispatcher ran out to give the driver his orders. Make time, were the only words on the slip. You've got to get to Burley on timeg got to-hear? screamed the dis- 1 patcher, to make his order more forceful. The new president's waiting there.' If you know anything about new presidents, you will realize that it be- hooves every employee whom he comes in contact with to make a good impres- sion. Burman forced his engine slightly. As he came to the Master Mechanic, whom chance had placed near the end of the platform, he leaned out of the cab, yelling: Tonight I run my race. That was all. Gradually the speed increased. The miles Hew by. Shortly after mid- night they made schedule time. Ar a small office out on the prairie the train slowed down enough, in response to the red light, to receive orders. Meet president's special at Redding, 3:05. Burman showed it to Macline. The other nodded in understanding. On they went again. Through it all Burman felt strangely anxious. He remem- bered the talk at the roundhouse. Especially did the history student's words come back to him. That sounds to me like the Music of the Spheres, if ever such a thing could be. Vaguely he wondered if it were possible that the stars, twinkling thousands of miles away, could produce a music, in flight, ca- pable of blending in harmony with one another. The wires of the roundhouse did not appeal to him as embodying the elements of celestial music. More like a huge disk of thinnest steel, slotted and set with reeds of silver, the whole re- volving at a high rate of speed, was his idea. If he might only-his hand slipped from the throttle for a second. Something peculiar occurred. The high steam pressure forced open the valve for a sceond and wedged it there. high steam pressure forced open the valve for a second and wedged it there. down in a heap. The fireman, hearing the racket, caused by the fflying parallel, the rod that connects the drive-wheels, jumped blindly into the maze instead of crawling over the boiler head to get at the throttle. Unluckily for him, he re- ceived a worse blow than Burman, falling backward on top of his chief. It was the engineer who recovered first. Dazed for a while, he did not realize THE TAHOMA I3 what had happened. Then it came to him in a dull sort of flash. One of the short pins on the wheel of the locomotive, that pin which forms a crank wrist, had snapped, thus loosening the connective rod. Now it was beating up road- bed and engine like some terrible Hail. The engineer arose unsteadily to set the brakes. But some caprice of fate had decided to jam the air. Then he tried to shut off the oil supply. Failing, he decided that he was too weak. For a moment he groped madly about in his mind for some expedient that would save the train. If the conductor knew, but he did not. He decided quite suddenly. I'l1 save you Hrst, my friend, he muttered thickly to the unconscious Macline. I'll save you, I'll save you. How he managed, he never knew. Dragging the form of the fireman over the big oil tank and boosting it up onto the roof of the blind baggage, was a task that might have been sufficiently hard for a strong, clear-headed man, with all the cars standing still. Yet he did it, and reaching the top he lashed Macline to the roof. G'by, old sport, he sang out crazily, just as he disappeared over the roof. Back in the cab again he got busy. Back near where the flying steel bar raged, he knew there was another upright bar, the pulling of which meant the saving of the lives of many people. Somehow, oddly, it was intact. He groped for it, reached it, tugged sharply. The engine, released of its load, leaped forward like a thing of life renewed. The train, whose uncoupling automatically set the air, shuddered long and came to a stop. ' It was saved, reflected Burmang but at one o'clock he was due to pass another passenger. No, not pass, 'now. just Hy at it with the horrible speed- energized weight of his engine. Suddenly a glad something boiled itself up. Why had he not thought of that before? By opening the injectors he might force down the pressure, stop the engine, derail it. No sooner had he put the idea into practice than they struck a curve. The Curve, so called, worst of all on the line. For a moment the pilot trucks hung, then off they' went. A thin, sibilant scream arose as the great drivers left the tangents. Burman was hurled far out on the prairie. Hours later, it seemed, when he awoke. Over to the east, perhaps a hundred yards distant, lay a great black hulk: to the west, the tail lights of a train disappeared. Overhead stars glimmered fitfullv. Burman stirred a trifle, paused, as if something had caught his ear. Evidently it was nothing. Ap- proach of death, maybe. Yet again his body became tense, as if he strained to listen. Then he heard it, and like the sighing of a new-born sage-scented desert wind through reeds of finest silver it was, heart-breakingly sweet, wildly sad, the Music of the Spheres. I4 Tl-IE TAHOMA A Couple of Fools Ruth Swanson, '13 Gale stood at the entrance of the little log cabin and viewed its interior enthusiastically. lsn't it just too darling, Roger? Why, of course we'll take it. If Gale had been used to receiving the hard knocks in life, she would have noticed that the roof was leaky and the fireplace smoked. But, being one of the fortunate few, she saw only how picturesque the big rough building looked, and what a rustic appearance the rude fireplace presented. Don't you think it's the greatest bargain, Roger? She appealed again to her husband, who, by the way, had proudly possessed that title for two whole weeks. Of course, he agreed. fAll two weeks old husbands are wonderfully agreeable mortals., So the deal was quickly transacted with the owner of that primitive structure, leaving the young pair in proud possession. Isn't it glorious to be independent, murmured Gale, delightedly, as they set about storing away the simple furniture. 'Tm never going back to be waited on, never! Therc's something dignified about manual labor, her husband assented. It sort of elevates a man, to do his own work. Things went smoothly enough for a while. Roger vehemently declared that his wife never looked half so stunning in any ball room gown as she did in the dainty checked aprons, and she could not enough admire the logger boots and corduroy trousers of her husband. Then, too, the grub averaged fairly well. If Gale forgot to put salt in the bread, she made up for it by putting an extra dose in the gravy. If the dessert looked a trifle unappetizing, the appearance of the table was brought up to the notch by an artistic bouquet of flowers. But in spite of this admirable system of checks and balances, Roger was chump enough to persist in getting thin, and as nature had never over-blessed him in the line ofllesh, he gradually began to take on the appearance of a low caste l-lindoo in famine time. Very gradually, too, his temper began to lose some of that sweetness which characterizes very new husbands. One morning, after being lectured severely by his wife on account of his physical depreciation, he was brute enough to declare it doubtful whether cupid himself could thrive on burnt pancakes. Upon seeing the distress of his wife, he entreated her THE TAHOMA 'I5 not to, worry, as the fragrance of roses was doubtless easier to digest than ham and eggs. Summer quickly drifted into Autumn, and, with the dropping of the leaves, came the heavy fall rains, which necessarily confined Gale within the narrow limits of the cabin. Somehow, when the sunbeams ceased to come in through the windows the rough walls lost their romantic charm, and it seemed that the heart of the cabin was gone. The wind whistled through the chinks in the logs, and the leaky shingles began to announce themselves by sending countless little streams of water to the floor below. At first Roger attempted to remedy these defects, but after one unfortunate occasion, when his foot glanced off the wet shingles and he reached the ground before recollecting that he had left the roof, he let well enough alone, and his wife saved the furniture by catching the water in her cooking utensils. One morning as Gale watched her husband plod off through the rain, on his daily two mile hike to the station, she sat down and thought it all over. Of Uourse, it was nice to be independent, she stuck to that point with a woman's persistenceg but, after all, washing greasy dishes, and scrubbing splintery floors, wasn't the most joyous occupation in the world, especially if one had to do it every day. She looked at the pile of breakfast dishes, which seemed to con- front her defiantly. Seized with sudden wrath, she snatched up the greasiest platter and shattered it into a thousand pieces against the opposite wall. There -take that, you-you horrid- The remainder of the sentence was drowned in a flood of tears. I don't want to be a quitter, she Hnally sobbed, but l'cl like for once to eat off dishes someone else had to wash. Suddenly a live coal flew out of the grate and fell upon the splintery floor. The next moment it flared up brighter, as the fire was getting a hold on the rough board beneath it. Gale watched the process in fascinated idle- ness. Then she clapped her hands excitedly. Oh, I wish it would burn!'f she cried, I wish the whole cabin would burn down, then we'd have to go back without Roger ever knowing I was a quitterf' But even as she spoke, an tiny rivulet broke through a new place in the roof, and fell with tantalizing exactness on the blazing coal. It simmered a minute, looked as though it might recover, then steadily died down. Gale could have cried again from disap- pointment, when a bright idea struck her. Sure! Why not? If the cabin can burn so easily, why not help matters along, and let Roger believe it an accidentif' Cale possessed a logical little brain, and she planned it all out with systematic thoughtfulness. lf I set fire to it when he's home, he can't have the ghost of a suspicion how it happened, she reasoned. I'm going todo it tonight when he's asleep. When it gets to burning good, I'll wake him up in time to save the things. Carefully she prepared a bundle of kindling and soaked it in kerosene. It makes me feel like a bandit, she giggled excitedly, I6 THE TAHOMA as she placed the bundle under her bed. The rest of the day Cale went about her work with a mind so removed from the ordinary duties of life that she boiled the potatoes in the teakettle, and fried the meat in the baking pan. It was still raining that night, as Roger trudged wearily back from the station. His path was scarcely more than a cow trail, and at almost every step he encountered the wet, water-laden bushes. They flew back into his face, knocked off 'his hat. and now and again sent little streams of water trickling clown under his coat collar. Finally, he threw himself down on a log, under the sheltering boughs of a great fir tree. Lordy, he muttered to .himself, as he felt the chill of his wet garments, Lordy, if this is what they call getting back to nature, I don't want to get any further back. Suddenly he sniffed. An odor of burning spuds came strongly from the direction of the cabin. Yep, he groaned, Burnt spuds, sour bread, and a bunch of flowers, that's a dickens of a supper for a hungry man. Roger wasn't a quitter either, but as he smelled the unsavory mess, he did long from the bottom of his heart for the fleshpots of Egypt. After all, a man's appe- tite fills a pretty large place in his life. Blamed if I wouldn't like to dig out of this, he continued, moodily. But since I suggested coming here, I won't suggest going back. I suppose she's enjoying all this, anyway. Women like her will put up with an awful lot of hardship for a little romance. Guess the only way out is to blow up the whole concern. Suddenly he started. That notion had given him an inspiration. If he couldn't blow it up, why not burn it down! It would be easy enough to kindle the fire without his wife's knowledge, and then it would seem that fate had decided affairs for them. Roger had it all planned out before leaving the log, and it was with many a chuckle, and a deal of inner satisfaction, that he cov- ered the remainder of the distance to the cabin. At the supper table, he masticated the burnt spuds with such unusual good grace and made himself so agreeable, that Gale half repented her wicked pur- pose. Poor fellow, she thought, he does enjoy himself so-it's a shame to spoil it for him. She even tossed up a penny to decide whether or not to carry out her intent. U 'Heads it's a go, tails not so,' H she repeated to lier- self. It came tails, But Gale, woman-like decided upon the contrary. Gee Willikins, listen to that wind! You'll need an extra pile of wood tomorrow. Roger chuckled a little later as he cut a big pile of kindling in front of the door. Cale thought she might save him the trouble, but wisely held her peace. I guess this is a rather risky proposition, he remarked casually, as he THE TAI-IOMA I7 filld the stove before retiring for the night. The chimney is so awfully rick- ety, but we'll freeze out without any fire. Gale started a trifle guiltily, and then quickly blew out the light to hide a smile. It was going to be so easy to deceive her husband! For a long time she lay staring into the darkness, wondering when it would be safe to execute her plan. Outside, the rain had ceased to fall, but the wind still blew dis- xnally round the cabin, and everything was wrapped in inky blackness. Gale shuddered as she thought of venturing out alone. Minute by minute she put off making the start, till at length the wind sounded a long way off, and finally formed a background for her dreams. It was some two hours later that Gale woke with a start, with a con- fused idea in her head that the cabin was on fire and that the door had just crashed in. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes till she had safely sorted out what was dream and what was real. It was still blowing outside, and she couldn't see the faintest outline of her fingers when she held them up before her. But with a sudden impulse she slipped out of bed, and reaching under it for her kindling, felt round for the door. 'Tm going to do it before I have time to get scared, she promised herselfg but, nevertheless, her heart beat double-quick time as she stumbled off the porch and found herself enveloped in darkness. Gale had often heard of the voices of the night, but never before had she realized what that phrase might mean. She listened now, with an emotion between fascination and terror, to the wind come sweeping through the surrounding forest, swaying the gigantic timbers till they creaked and groaned, or moving with stealthy rustle through the tangled underbrush. It would be easy to believe in spirits on a night like this, she thought to herself, as she slipped around the cabin to the chimney side. Kneeling down where she believed the chimney to be, she arranged her kindling with painful exactness-smallest shavings on top, after the manner of women. Feeling about for a dry place, she was about to strike a match, when not six feet away another match flared up, illuminating the familiar features of-her husband! Roger! she gasped, for the first time in her life pronouncing that name in an accent of fear. He raised the match, so as to include her in the circle of light. Gale! what are you doing here? . I-I was just admiring the moon. Gale uttered the first wild idea that entered her brain. Moon-where in the CL- is the moon? Roger looked blankly up into the inky sky. It's--never mind where 'tis. You had no right to spy on me this way! And Gale burst into a flood of hysterical tears. I-spy on you? Roger was so astonished at this turn of affairs that I8 TI-IE. TAHOMA he let the match scorch his fingers before he thought to drop it. A Ye-es, his wife sobbed, seeking to hide her own misdeed by magnify- ing what she believed to be his. 'cNobocly but a sneak would spy. I ju-just wished I'd burnt down the cabin with you in it. At the utterance of this bloodthirsty wish Roger hastily lighted another match, and when its light again illuminated the scene, Gale ceased her sobbing to gaze in astonishment at two carefully arranged bundles of kindling, resting against the wall. Then the true state of affairs dawned upon her. Roger, she cried, but this time in triumph, Roger Morton, you were trying to burn down the cabin! And I suppose my wife was merely building smudges to keep away the mosquitoes. He stooped to examine the betraying shavings. But you would never have disturbed my slumber with this. How many times have I told you Ere won't burn downward ? You needn't be such a pie-face, Gale retorted angrily. I don't see why you wanted to burn the cabin, anyway. You dan't have to wash, and scrub, and bake, and cook, and,- Well, I have to eat what you cook, don't I? Roger spokeias if his actions needed no further explanations. Gale was at that moment especially well prepared to deliver an oration on the baseness of men in general, and her husband in particular, when an extra violent gust of wind took the opening words from her lips. Nearby in the forest they heard a tree rip from its moorings, rush through the air for a second, and then fall heavily against another tree. For a few moments the two giants swayed and groaned, like mythical monsters in mortal combat. Then came a sudden rush, a snapping and tearing of branches, and one mighty crash, as the enormous timbers struck the earth together. The local earthquake which followed almost shook the cabin from its foundation. :win n as - I guess wed better go to bed, Roger decided at last through chat- tering teeth. And be thankful that two fools still have a roof over their heads, Gale added, groping for her companion's hand. And spuds to eat, he commented with a chuckle, as his hand closed over hers. THE TAHOMA I9 His Masterpiece Miriam Zeller, ' I 3 Carl Steam, the lover of music, sat slowly playing over his finished com- position. By it he was to become famous-yes, he was sure of that. So he sat hour after hour, musing, planning, and dreaming of the glory that was to be his. He could leave his small German quarters and mingle with the men of whom he read and of whose society he craved. He had always longed for it. Again he went slowly over the manuscript. Ach, how beautiful it was! Music with him was a passion. It was live and real. Father! Oh, father, where are you? came to him softly across the hall. Before he could answer, his daughter Hilda was beside him. Oh, father, I've had the best time! l've been down the court and saw the Kaiser's parade. Listen, Hilda, said the old German. I have my opera finished. l will be great and famous: and you, you shall be a great lady. You are al- most eighteen. It can hardly be. Giirl, l've done my best for You. You have had the best I had, but it has been very poor. How can I forget the first time, when you were so small, and you looked up in my face. Girl, it seemed ,to me that my heart would burst, for that day your mother had died. i The morrow came, and with it all of the fervor and expectation of the yesterday. At nine the old man was ready, and at nine-thirty trudged out of his home and on his way. He walked very erect with his head thrown back: his eyes were kindled with a fire that spoke of triumph. The precious man- uscript he held tucked tightly under his arm. He looked like a conqueror, and felt as one. At the door of the studio he stopped a moment, then went in. Y To the old man, this studio was a holy place, for von Glieb was the mas- ter of music, and music was Stearn's god, worshiped from earliest boyhood. Well, said von Glieb, you have brought the opera? Good! Let me see it. Steam handed the package to the Master as though it were a sacrifice. Von Glieb passed the pages over hurriedly, then commenced to play. To Steam it was wonderful music and he listened breathless. The master played it through a few pages, then looked sharply at the old German: at first hesi- tatingly, then his eyes lost their sharpness and became tender. My friend, he said, we all make mistakes. God so thinks best. l am sorry for you. but your opera is worthless. Better I should tell you the truth than a falsehood' Carl Steam said nothing, reeled, and fell to the floor. He had so stead- fastly believed in his opera that failure had not entered his mind. The com- 20 THE TAHOMA position into which the best of his life had gone had been his great hope. When he found his life-work all al mistake, and his great dream shattered, all was gone. Nothing mattered. , Having been brought home, the lover of music lay unconscious for hours. Finally, regaining consciousness for a few moments, he found Hilda bending cver him. Hilda, girl, it's alll over, the music was all a mistake. Oh, how I was going to do so much for you, and I-- but he was unconscious again. He lay for weeks very ill, but at last Hilda's love triumphed. He asked for the opera, but when Hilda brought it to him, he turned his face the other way and said, Take it away! I never want to see it againg I think that I hate it. So she took it away. Several years went by. Hilda and her father were living in a poor quarter. Carl Steam was a broken hearted old man. He was always unhappy. Sometimes he went into the room, where the piano was, locked the door, and would play softly. Finally he began again to write down the music. Sometimes when he was bitter and when his heart was nigh breaking. he played, and little by little wrote, and he wrote as he felt. The music was sad and at limes bitter. It was not intended to be great as was his first masterful dream. It was an outpouring of his soul. He knew that the end was near, and wor- ried for Hilda's sake, but welcomed it for himself. One day there came to the quarter a wealthy young American, Arthur Rex, whose love for adventure led him into places which his companions dis- dained. He was lost, and wandered aimlessly about. Being suddenly at- tracted by the sound of soft music, he stopped and listened. Not much, but more civilized music than one usually hears in these German quarters, he thought. Being curious, he knocked at the house from which the music came. There is someone knocking, daughter, Stearn said. Hilda quickly opened the door. When Arthur saw the beautiful young girl standing there, he somehow got confused and said something about having lost his way. Her father, on hearing a new voice, came to the door and invited the stranger in. After getting the necessary directions, he left the quarter with a confused mem- ory of brown eyes, great beauty, and what a fool he had been. The following week he came back with a pretense of hearing the music lover play. Many days he came here, always with the same excuse. At first the old man regarded him with displeasure, but he began to look forward to his com- ing. He began also to tell the boy his story, of his hopes and dreams. HI- I failed, boy, I failed, and I longed, and I longed, so very much to be great, to have my opera charm hundreds and hold them enthralled. My opera-you can't know just what these two words meant to me. I loved it, my poor at- tempt, and believed in it. I have been writing some sinceg it may become an THE. TAHOMA 23 opera, but I don't believe that any one else could think of it as I thought Of it, for they could not understand. Some day, perhaps. When I feel like lt, I will play it through for you. Please, now! said the young man, who felt merely a kindly pity toward the composer. So the musician drew from under a table very carefully and with much love, an old manuscript and sat down at the piano. Maybe not a beautiful picture, but one to reverence, the old German made, as he sat there in the early evening with the sunset light softly illumining his silvery hair, pushed back from his temples. His haggard face was more peaceful. He shut his eyes and commenced to play,,softly at first, then he seemed to forget all the bit- terness of his failure. Hunger and trouble were far away and forgotten things. The music ran from a peaceful major into a wailing minor key, sadness and gaiety followed each other, there was joy and great triumph. He was the master of music. In seemed as if it were his reward for all that he had suf- fered and his reward was exceedingly great. The music grew wild, then sang of fairies in their glades, their dances, of the fragrance of flowers and of spring- time: then it grew deep and mournful as if all the bitterness of past years had returned. Lower and lower he bent over the keys, the music was very soft land very tender. It grew so faint that it could scarcely be heard, then stopped. 'Still the lover of music bent over the keys with his eyes closed. The young man spoke to him, and receiving no answer, went softly out. . There Hilda found her father at dusk, bent over the keys. His face was as though he had seen some beautiful vision. Perhaps he had. But it was the vision of death. That afternoon Arthur had gone back to his hotel strangely moved. He did not consider the music remarkable. Ah, he did not love music, he could not understand. Yet the old man had made a wonderful impression upon him. He could go back on the morrow, and take von Glieb with him. Von Glieb was a judge of music and could tell the real worth of the opera. Besides, there was the girl, yes, the girl.. Well, tomorrow he would make everything all right. The next morning at ten, the young man and the old master were nearing the house in the quarter in which Steam lived. Von Glieb felt that' he had come on a useless mission, but it was for pity of Steam, when he remembered that scene at the same hour so many years ago. Hearing no response to their knocks, they went in, but found no one. Going into the front room, they found the manuscript. Well, I suppose it will not do any harm to try it, said the master. As he is not here, it can give him no pains if he has made another failure. 22 THE TAHOMA Von Glieb struck a few notes, then played on and on. As he played the boy realized that it was a masterpiece and that Steam would be famous. When Fritz von Glieb stopped, he seemed hardly to see Arthur. It is great, is it not? asked Arthur. Creat! Ah. yes-no, I would call it exquisite music which only the greatest pain and suffering can producef, the old man said at last. People will weep and the name of Carl Steam will be distinguished, but they cannot know the breaking heart back of it, or under- stand, because they did not know the lover of music. They heard someone come softly in and saw Hilda standing there. By her face they saw that something was greatly wrong. Girl! Your father? Where is he? asked von Glieb. He died yesterday at evening, Hilda replied, simply. Arthur looked bewildered at first, then great pity for Hilda, more than thought of Stearn, took hold of himg but the moment was not sacred with him as with the old Master. He stood with bowed head, his eyes full of tears, for he felt the same awe and reverence which Carl Stearn had felt years before, for he, too. worshiped music. and he now knew that Stearn was his Master. It's fierce, said Arthur. He didn't even know that his opera was real music. My friend, God so thinks best, replied von Glieb. One night, two years later, the opera The Breaking Heart, was pro- duced for the first time at the great theatre in Berlin. People wept at the beauty and sadness of the opera, yet they could not undrstand. In one of the boxes sat a young American and his wife. People pointed to her and whispered that she was the daughter of the composer of the opera, Carl Steam. With them was an old man, bent and grey. Von Glieb sat through the opera breathless and as one in a dream, then turned to the young woman and said, Carl Stearn's reward is now great. God so thinks best. X U y will fs rut X 'L of QQ 3' THE.

Lo, it grew and grew and grew, To a height most noble, Till one day there came to view, A perfect flower-like opal.

WILLIAMS, 'I3 THE TAHOMA A NIGHT IN JUNE It was moonlight on the river, One lovely night in june, And the water seemed to quiver As the zephyr played a tune. Down the river slowly floating, Came a little birch canoe, It was just the size for boating, For there was just room for two. In the boat sat man and maiden, And he did his love profess, When the bark, quite over-laden, Ended short his fond address. Hard he struggled in the water, With the maiden in his arms, Quickly to the shore he brought her, Saving all her lovely charms. There, amid the whisp'ring rushes, On that lovely night in june, While the river sang its hushcs, To the soft lays of the moon. , Strong he urged his fond affections, In a somewhat broken voice, And she whispered, Predeliction, You are still my birch bark choice!

Our worlf is with the wide new earth, Where we will test our strength and worth. Farewell, O portals tried and true, Our school farewell, O, Cold and Blue! Your care for us was not in vain- Through all the years that yet will wane Our hearts will hold the sweet refrain.

Then there be those with gentler natures blest Who still our glowing visions cannot share. They say, Your school days are the happiest For ne'er again will joy come without care. I wonder--after we taste life's cup Its sweets and bitters know-their strength compared, Have weighed life's joys and sorrows down and up, Will we from bitterness and hate be spared? Will we upon the ardent plans of youth Look with scorn of disillusioned eyes, And with cold words wel-blanket without ruth, The hopes which our young hearts now fondly prize? And we will quote with staid and solemn air, Thus they have passed,-Life's happiest days are o'er. And murmur with an echo of despair, We knew it not-we knew not that they went. RUTH Ei SWANSON. '13 THE TAHOMA FINALl:1 We have won another battle And our weary task is done, We have struggled on unceasing But the dear old goal is won. Oh, the trials and all the hardships And the teachers so supreme Who with fienclish glee would flunk us Now appear as in a dream. Yes, we foolishly did grumble, Thought the world was far loo hard, Swore we crammed each eve till midnight Clanced with terror at each cardg Spoiled our pleasures by complaining That the years were ages long, But we've found at last, with sorrow, That each year was but a song. How distinctly we remember When we hit the 9B class, We were timid, cow'ring infants And they called us green as grass. We would come to school real early Try and memorize our books, Then the office had its terrors And we feared the teachers' looks. Then as Sophomores people knew us, But no longer were we shy, Looked with pity on the Freshmen, Thought our bunch was all the pie. Spent our coin on ties and loud socks, Ducked from school to see a show, Dissipated much on sodas, To the ball games did we go. But we set our pace while funiors: Then the fair ones would we court. Took in all the shows and dances, For each funior was a sportg THE TAHOMA Took all honors in athletics, Yes, we beat the Seniors, too. Slid along in all our studies And our motto was, Slip through. But the last lap was so brilliant That it e'en outshone the Sun, And to tell it is not modest But my duty must be done. For the classes gone before us Fade away as in a mist,- And it hurts me to disgrace them But my classmates all insist. Oh, 'twould honor even Caesar, And Napoleon, the Creat, Could they tum from dust and wander Up our golden path so straight. And our teachers, once so learned, Will have little more to say When they hear what we accomplish When we step into the fray. For our class is great in numbers, And life's battles we defy: When our heroes hit their stride, they'll Malfe the wheels of progress fly. For we've learned that every labor, Will require both heart and soul. We must learn to fight our failures If we hope to' win the goal. Ah! we sail to foreign waters, But fond mem'ries bring a sigh For our true and faithful comrades And the happy days gone by. So our faith will be etemal, We'll be friends, though we ffrow old And our toast will be forever, To the dear old Blue and Cold!

Washington, D. C., was nothing short of a panic and the deep, melodious cries of Momin' Poiper! All about the invasion of the Chinese! The great Yellow Peril! boomed from the trained tongues of Harry Swanson, Everett Babcock, Geo. Arnold and Chet Benjamin, the pop- ular newsies of the Capitol City. In the White House, dramatic scenes were enacted. The House, under Speaker Hack Goodman, demolished the furni- ture and chandeliers in their excitement and Congress was stirred by the thrill- ing speeches of Ruth Williams, Grace Freeburn and Lois Fisher, the In- vincible Trio of Suffragettesf' Bulletins carried by Kenneth Gardiner and john Munson, White House messengers, to Editor Lindberg of the Tribune, reported that President McDonald's cabinet, composed of Anne Davies, Gladys Cornell, Mildred Mc Govern, Thurston Mentzer, Elihu Smith, Frank Hicks, Mabel Kennedy, Anna Robison, Freda Bristol and Douglas Murphy, had declared war against China after a three-nights' session, which was brought to an abrupt termination by the memorable address of the President. We must never perish, a prey to these yellow, long-haired dogs of Satan, he shrieked. Let us, of the Class of l9l 3. sacrifice our lives and our wealth, but let us, the defenders of the. Stars and Stripes, stamp out the Yellow Peril, so that the events of our administration will go walking down the pages: of his- tory, breathing footsteps in the sandwiches of time! ' The next morning, the President's decree was a universally known fact. The entire forces were on their way to the coast, and were soon pouring into the Puget Sound country by the thousands. The Atlantic Squadron, under Admiral Lester Bishop, was summoned to Commencement Bay by orders of the Cabinet. Wireless reports from Fred Andrews and Mel Perkins, gov- ernment scouts in the Orient, stated that the dreaded fighting machine of the terrible and mysterious Eastern republic was due to strike the coast in a few days, and with their cunning methods of warfare, expected to annihilate the American forces. 'Twas a warm moonlight night in June. Beneath the starlit summer heavens, the lights of the majestic fleet of Admiral Bishop twinkled peacefully o'er the calm, untroubled waters of Commencement Bay. Over the deep blue Hoatecl a pathetic little ditty, innocently rendered by Ken Leahy, Geo. Spinning. Ray Bagley and Henry Murray of the Ocean Wave Quartet, on the flag- ship 'Stadium. On the prison ship Faculty, were Al Morris. Mert Hill, THE TAHOMA 33 Fred Murphy and Leo Gallagher, calmly engaged in a quiet game of draw- poker, while on the Diploma the Admiral and his staff were discussing the arrival of the Yellow Dog Squadron, which was expected the next day. 'Tis well for them that they come not tonight, for the strains of the Ocean Quartet would play havoc with their seamen, quoth Commodore Frank Cor- son. in deep sepulchral tones. I remember when they once sang in room 2!9, and they had to close school for a week-- But just then the staff was startled by the hoarse cry from H-orejs, the ship's cook, whose eyes were bulging with terror, and who was waving his arms about like a windmill. Sweet spirits of onions and garlic! he yelled. They come! The Yellow Peril, by Zeus! We are lost! Down in the galley, slave, cried Rear-Admiral Roy Sypher, and he sent the unfortunate down the hatchway with a well directed kick. The staff then scrambled to the rail, and peered through the darkness toward the islands, and lo! 'twas a sight to faze the very de'el himself, for out by Howard I-leaths' lighthouse was the Yellow Dog Squadron of Cathay, speeding straight for the Atlantic Fleet. The searchlights were thrown on the advancing armada by the Admiral, which revealed a fleet much larger than his own. The decks were literally swarming with the Chinamen, who scrambled about like frenzied beasts, prepar- ing for the attack. There was no time to be lost. Resistance was useless, for the Chinese were bearing down upon the peaceful! defenders of the United States, fully pre- pared to sink the entire fleet. But ii a few seconds, the trained sailors were fairly warmed to action, the propellfzs commenced to churn the water, and cut- ting the spray before them, they sped up the bay through th waterway, behind the ship of the clever Admiral. But the cunning Orientals were doomed to be outwitted, and by the brains of a woman, for as the Stadium neared Lincoln Bridge, Captain Mulvey beheld no other person than the fair Helen Marr, on the Municipal Dock, who was tearing her auburn lucks and gesticulating wildly. The Bridge! she scre :med in tones of anguish. Cut down the bridge! I've got you! the faptain yelled reassuringly, as he stretched his long neck out the cabin window. We'll fool those yellow swine yet! and so when the last ship had passed under the bridge, the bold crew of the Sta- dium landed. and undfr the direction of Harold Nichols, Loren Baker and James Baker, cut down the giant span, which fell with a great crash to the 34 THE TAI-IOMA waters below, effectively blocking the channel to the pursuit of the Easterners, who were now only a few rods away. The pursuers were bewildered, and amid shrieks of will dismay and howls that seemed distinctly canine, they dropped anchor for the night ,while the monstrous but unluckly fighting ma- chines of the Americans stole softly, on that starlit summer's eve, up the peace- ful waters of the Puyallup, to friends and safety. D There was no pursuit, for the Chinese were baffled by the obstacle before them, and they dared not advance further through the night, so they, in true barbaric fashion. scurried up to gangplanks of the deserted dock, and invaded the quiet city beyond, so that they might celebrate their initial success. 'Twar a sad scene that night, in the little seaside village that was once so contenthd and peaceful. Could one have mingled with the heartless Orientals, he would have missed the familiar face of Ruth Poyns in the little candy shop on llth Street, just at the foot of Lincoln Bridge. He would have missed the brass buttons and lazy swagger of Glenne Allen, Sidney Austin and Clayton Bolinger, the Purity Squad, as they sauntered down the Avenue, pretending to keel' the peaceg the bent form of Zelma Holman, who was wont to sit near the cu fb, grinding an organ with one hand, and holding a chain with the other, at thu end of which was Harold Pravitz, who beseechingly held out a tiny tin dipp:r to the passing crowd, and A1 Tisch, the public benefactor, who lazily drofe his water-wagon up the street, carelessly spraying the innocent pedestrians. Ore would have noticed that a heavenly quiet prevailed on 12th Street, for no cr :wd was there to encore Vera Hertges, Ruth Hards, Cora Harmon. Florence C2'Leary, Ellen Shelgran, Gladys Lee and Geraldine Pratt, successors to the famous Hungry Seven, and Gladys Flaskett, Elizabeth Shackleford, Clara Porter and Margaret Vanderbeck of the Starvation Army Sisters were not in evidence. The poolrooms, monopolized by Lawrence Terry, Harry Lynch and Company, were crowded with Chinamen who idly puffed on pure Havana cigars and played billiards. Marjorie Damman, Irene Garrison and Anna 'Watrous had Hed from their ticket boxes at the moving picture operas, and the City Hall was dark and gloomy. Beth Clay, the Humane Officer, was not to be found in herq office, and even Reverend Ray Beil had deserted his little church. I The yellow men were everywhere, raiding the shops, and they crowded the streets intoxicated with victory and the contents of the breweries, which so shortly before had been the property of Don Davisson, Bob Fullerton and Co. But while they idly plundered and wrought destruction, the Atlantic Squadron had landed, and the sailors were hot-footing it for American Lake, where they were to combine with the army and prepare for attack. Already the prairies had undergone a marvelous change. The forces had constructed THE TAHOMA 35 ive huge. forts, and were safely settled behind the staunch breastworks. About one o'clock. in the morning, the barricades were strengthened by the arrival of the fleet's forces, and the men anxiously awaited the arrival of the enemy, for they were confident of victory. But they came not that night nor the next day. The second evening drew nigh, andlstill no Chinamen. The soldiers were becoming restless, and were to be seen in groups discussing the possibility of taking the initiative, and attacking the town. But the cloud was soon to burst. Darkness was falling, and the soldiers were preparing to turn in for the night. The sentinels were sent out, and the fair ones of the hospital corps had retired to their tents. Suddenly, the stillness was broken by a series of rapid explosions in the distance, and a flaring light was seen in the heavens which came nearer and nearer. A blue flame shot out from the phantom spectacle, and instantly an exultant cry broke from the astonished soldiers, who recognized the signal of the clever Grace Sherman, the government aerial scout. In a minute the forts were bustling with activity, and the soldiers were rushing to their places, for the new report stated that the Yellow Peril was only a half mile away, and was planning to take the forts by surprise. The minutes flew by quickly. The formation of the battalions was or- dered. An hour later the terrible conflict commenced. The brave soldiers arrayed their souls for battle and silenced the childs within them that trembled before death. for the enemy had lined up before their guns, but thirty yards from the forts. But the siege was delayed for a few minutes, and the Chinese were thrown into confusion, for charging into their midst came a second Light Brigade led by Col. Nick Brazell, who was majestically seated on a white horse, waving his sabre aloft. Straight into the ranks they rode, their rifles blazing' a deadly fire, and their swords slashing the panic stricken enemy. The sight chilled those in the fort, but as they gazed they could not refrain from laughter, for streaking across the prairie, like scared rabbits, were Cupid Bonnell and Don Maxwell, who had disgracefully deserted their brave leader in the hour of glory. Now, however, the tide had turned, for the Chinese had recovered their canine wits, and were pouring a fatal rain of lead into the cavalry. There seemed no avenue of escape, and here after hero fell, but suddenlY the Chinese were again demoralized. - They are saved! screamed Frances Reedy, who, in her exciement had crawled to the top of the fort wall. And true it was, for the famous aerial force of thirty airships, commanded by Ruth Eide' had been dispatched to the field, and from above, Agnes Wilkinson, Elizabeth Younglove, Elton 36 THE TAHOMA Trewick and Margaret l-lenley, were tossing bombs and missels of destruc- tion with deadly accuracy into the ranks of the enemy, demolishing the men and guns. It was then that Col, Brazelle and. his brigade galloped back un- molested to their barricade to be patched up for future use, by Helen Rusch. Lena Grass and May Niles, of the hospital corps of that fort. Then the battle began in earnest. The aerial force ran short of ammuni- tion, and the forts were charged. The hurricane of grape, the smoke, the thun- der of that battle was terrible. A detachment of Orientals gained the rear of one of the forts, but were held at bay by Laura Foltz, Blanche Bolinger and Irene Higgins, together with the remainder of their hospital corps, who were directing the emergency machine guns at the besiegers, but to no avail, for with Hendish yells the Chinese broke through, and while the heroic nurses fled, they entered the barricade, just as the 23rd regiment, undr Corporal Carleton More, came to the rscue. To no avail, however, for Catherine Burnside had stumbled over a mattress, and was being carried off in the arms of' a ninety-three pound Chinaman. A cry of dismay broke from the regiment, but a wonderful lhing then happened. Charging madly from the ranks, on a coal-black steed, yell- ing like a Comanche, his eyes blazing and his face set, came none other than old l-larold Beidler, who dropped the greasy kidnaper with one shot, reached from the stirrup, grasped the limp form of the maiden with one larm, and gal- loped back to safety, unharmed by the shot and shell of the ldisappointecl yel- low men. Out on the prairie the din of the battle was still deafening. Four forts had been destroyed, and the armies wre engagd in a fierce hand-to-hand con- flict. Almost all of the American battalions had combined under Col. EFrank Young and Capt. Roy Wheeler, and were vainly striving to hold their own against the fierce onslaughts. On the extreme left of the field were the brave nurses of Barricade No. 3, including l..eota Foreman, Winnifred Cummings, and lone Titlow, who were giving their loving and tender services to the dis- abled soldiers hastily conveyed from the field by the Ever Ready Stretcher Squad, under the supervision of Sergeant Pep Kauffman. But the defenders were steadily losing ground. The loss of life was hor- rible, and it seemed as though the Yellow Peril would destroy forever the power and happiness of a glorious nation. But Fate would not have it so. Again the brains and courage of a woman was to save a country, and just at the critical moment. A The troops were about to retreat from the sickening massacre, but as they turned, they beheld to their joy the regiments of the fifth fort, which heretofore had taken little part in th battle. At the head of the ,charging battalions was the lovely Agnes Lindstrom, who rode fearlessly into the fray with the flag in THE. TAI-IOMA 37 one hand, and a brick of limburger cheese in the other. Behind this reserve force came Ocie van Tine, and several other nurses, in an electric ambulance, ready to give their valuable services to the unlucky ones. The air was rent with wild yells and acclamations. A second Joan of Arc! they screamed. A, second joan! Onward! Onward! Save our glorious nation! and that grand old army, led by the famous veterans of the I9I 3 Class swept down upon the hated Chinamen with fire and sword. The fury of the conflict was more horrible than before. The Chinese were surrounded, and the renewed vigor of attack totally disheartened them. Three times did Col. Byrne Marconnier lead his noble regiment into the midst of the enemy, heartlessly riding over and mercilessly massacreing the luckless Easterners. To relate the rest is unnecessarY. In one short hour the prairie was piled three feet high with a tangled mass of Chinamen and pigtails. Practically the entire army was destroyed, and what few were left fled like rats over the prairies to South Tacoma, where they crawled on a few deserted street cars, run them into town, boarded one of their armada, and with havy hearts and aching legs, steamed slowly from the City of Destiny never to return. So ended one of the greatest wars ever recorded in history. All was gay in town the next night. Down the avenue came the re- united class of l9l 3 in huge red I943 Poundhards, supplied by Leslie Jensen and Leslie French of the Skinnem Motor Co. On came the- stupendous parade amid the cheers of the exultant populace, who threw their derbies in the air and exploded the fireworks obtained from the forsaken fleet. Bells were ring- ing, banners flying, and the streets were brilliant with lights. In the cars, the old bunch were talking over old times as they sped toward the Tacoma Hotel. Oh, I say, laughed Mable Lisle, as they passed llth and Pacific, do any of you recognize the names up on the buildings? Do we? chortled Eileen Packenham.

Cease or we per- ish, but just then the procession drew up before the stately hotel, and the bunch scrambled joyfully for the banquet hall, where the glorious evening was to end. Happy was the crowd when they rushed into the feast hall, for a huge dinner was ready, and the walls were gaily bedecked with the old gold and blue pennants. Loud was the laughter which pealed merrily from every mouth, at the sight of Grace Freburn and Mildred Baker, the head waiters, who were arrayed in gowns of blue and gold, and hearty was the applause which the Hungry Seven Orchestra received for the inspiring selections rendered. The room echoed and re-echod with cheers for Maxwell after his toast to the ab- sent ones. And so the merry evening wore on, and from without could be heard the gay songs and chatter which brought back memories of long ago, as the dear old class of 'I 3 sang and talked through the wee small hours of that ne'er for- gotten night. l3ZeZ.EaEEn -E-gaafdv THE TAHOMA 39 Class History Merton Hill Stadium High's in Tacoma, The famous Destiny City.

Class of 1913! How the very name instilled terror in the hearts of opponents in all contests of physical or mental prowess. It, was a large Freshman class which entered the High School in the fall of I909.- When our forces were mustered in the auditorium we were found to be an army, three hundred andy fifty strong, and after listening to a talk of welcome and advice by our principal. Mr. Collicott, we were assigned to our many roll-rooms. Poor downtrodden Freshmen that we were, we could do nought but gaze with awe and admiration upon our elder brothers and sisters and apply ourselves to our books with great and untiring diligence. r But once a Freshman, not always a Freshman, and after one year of steady application we entered upon our second year of High School life and we were called Sophomores. How wise we were! We no longer suffered for learning. We were the most enlightened individuals in the whole school. With our promotion to the Sophomore year came the promotion of our principal, Mr. Collicott, to the position pf Superintendent of City Schools. We regretted his loss, but his place was ably filled by Mr. Knouff, who came to us from the Richmond, Indiana. High School. It was during Mr. Knouff's reign that the Class of l9l 3 began to assert itself. The girls' basketball team under the leadership of Margaret Therkildsen won the inter-class championship and obtained possession of the banner. A little later, in the spring of I9I l, without any organization whatever, the lithe athletes of the Class of 1913 turned out for the Cross-Country Runs and over- whelmingly defeated the other classes. During this same year the class ex- perienced its first and also last real Loud Sock Day. The Sophs were on 40 THE. TAI-IOMA hand with their pedal extremities gaily ornamental according to the latest no- tions and joined in the loud sock parade with a vim. But it seems that a few Juniors and Seniors became very turbulent and started a rough house, which brought discredit upon the school and caused the law to be placed forever upon like celebrations. l-How thoughtless of those upper classmen to spoil our fun! But track practice brought out the real spirit of the Sophomore athletes. First, the Freshmen were vanquished, and then in company with those same Freshmen, we journeyed to Seattle and defeated the Seattle schools in the Fresh- men-Sophomore meet by a decisive score. In the meet with Broadway, Gale Bandy began his brilliant career by lowering the state record four-fifths sec- onds in the low hurdles. The Inter-Class meet closed the year so far as Sopho- more successes were concerned, but in this meet the Seniors upset all calcula- tions and nosed out the Sophomores in the total points. When we returned to school in the fall of l9ll to take up our work as juniors, we found a new man at the head of affairs. Mr. Geiger, formerly principal of Broadway High of Seattle, succeeded Mr. Knouff as our third principal in three years. l-le stayed with us one year, when he succeeded Mr. Collicott as Superintendent of Schools and Mr. Hunt, our present principal, was elected. If Variety is the spice of life, the Class of I9I3 did not have a monotonous existence, having to adjust ourselves to four different regimes in four years. As Juniors we organized the Class of l9l3 and took up our abode in II9 and l2l under the supervision of Miss Liddell and Miss Alcott. Leo Horejs, the football star, was elected president of the class and we began a year full of hard study, but famous in the annals of the Class of 1913. By October, football was in full swing in the Stadium. A match game with the Seniors was scheduled for our stalwarts, led by Gale Bandy. When the battle was o'er and the remains of the Seniors had been removed from the field, the score board read: Juniors, IZ, Seniors, IO. Bandy got some ex- cellent hurdling practice for the spring track meet, and Staatz did excellent time for the hundred after intercepting a Senior forward pass on our own eight-yard line. During the basketball season the girls' team repeated the good work of the previous season and again took the banner representing the class championship. But the class of l9l3 is not composed of athletic prodigies alone. Far be it from such. The Junior debating team, Elizabeth Shackleford and John Arntson, brought home the bacon in the Interclass Debate, obtaining a unanimous decision over the Seniors. It was during the track season that the Junior athletes shone the brightest. THE. TAHOMA 41 l 'irst came the Cross-Countries and the banner which was won by the juniors hangs in I I9 along with the banner won in the Inter-class Track meet several weeks later. In April the Junior Reception was held at the Hotel Bonneville. Al- though this was the first social function attempted by the Class of l9l3, it was a great success, and much credit and praise was given the committees and the class as a whole for the excellent manner in which the event was carried out. Several months elapsed and we became Seniors. OnlY one more year of study and the acfomplishment of great things. The class gained more glory and banners than ever before. The Cross-country Runs, the Junior-Senior Track-meet and the Inter-class debating championship were all taken by the Seniors, I I9, and one of the Senior roll-rooms also won the Booster Banner for the largest percentage of Tahoma subscribers. This was accomplished largely through the efforts of John Hill, the Associate Editor. In February, Stanly Staatz was elected president of the class to till the vacancy left by the graduation of Ernest Jones. Staatz and the other newly- elected officers were kept busy attending to the duties pertaining to the produc- tion of the Class Play, the Senior Reception and the Graduation Exercises. The Class Play, the Piper, was presented May I6th and I7th under the ableldirection of Miss Perkins, and by every one conceded to be the Best Ever. It was the most elaborate production ever given by any grad- uating class, and with the added advantages of the enlarged stage and audi- torium, it was a great success. The cast had forty members, but the feature of the performance wasthe splendid acting of John Hill who, as the Piper, took a most difficult part. He showed ability far above what could- be expected of a High School pupil. There was only one more chance for the Seniors to win laurels for their class on the track. This was the Inter-class meet, the last week in May. The Seniors did excellent work but the Juniors went them one better. The final score showed that the Juniors had 45 points, Seniors, 44. Gale Bandy saved the day and the reputation of the class by winning second in the broad jump and his general fighting spirit and management of the relay team. The Seniors made a splendid showing even if defeated, and not one man could be called a quitter. The last social function of the class was held the night of the State Track meet in honor of the great track team. The Graduation Exercises were held in the Auditorium, the 'largest class ever graduating thus far. The Honor Pupils were Elizabeth Shackelford and Ruth Poynes. In the exercises Stanley Staatz represented the faculty. and Leo Gallagher represented the students. FF TAHOMA STA I3 I9 CLIFFORD MCDONALD, Advertising Manager, MAXWELL, Editor-in-Chief.

ITI-I this issue, the members of the staff of l9l3 become has-beens, and leave the cares of High School behind them. We are the last T. H. S. staff and the first ten-issue staff. We also had the first staff pho- tographer, and were the first to use the new office. The class of l9I 3 has won fame for its athletic ability and we hope the memory of the l9l3 Tahoma will live nearly as long as that of our feats on track and field. To one part of our record we point with pardonable pride, and that is the promptness with which each issue has appeared. For nine months the paper came out on the day set for it, giving us a batting average of .900. We hoped to attain an average of l.000, but we think that .900 will stand unbeaten for some time. The staff has suffered severe changes in its line-up from time to time, five department editors leaving school and our business manager graduating. Still, we all can grin once in awhile and we haven't lost much weight as the result of our labors. The new office is a fine gymnasium, and many a little exhibi- tion have we pulled off there with Miss Gibbons as referee. Miss Gibbons is a good referee, too, but she could not get used to lVlcDonald's singing or Slat- ter's high-class imitations of birds and beasts of forest and field. S is the custom each year, the Tahoma staff elected the person whose name should be engraved on the Bronze for work done the previous term. Usually the person receives the honor for one story or poem that was out of the ordinary in literary lines: but this year Ford Brown, '12 was given a place on the Bronze for general all around work. He was Athletic Editor THE TAHOMA 7l of the 'IZ Tahoma, and his department was the best in the paper, and prob- ably better than any previous sporting page. He also had a few humorous sketches in the literary department nearly every issue, and deserves all credit given him for his work. UDC-ING from the March number of the Tahoma, which was issued by the Class of l9l4, the school is assured of a good paper next year. The Juniors put out one of the best papers of the year, and will keep up the good work in their regular term. The staff elected by the junior Class is as follows: Ernest Hover, Editor: Fred Heath, Business Manager: Pierman Ward, Advertising Manager: Floyd Oles, Literary: Jennie Gordon, Poe- try: Louise Hunt, Alumni: Helen Huggins, Society: Simpson Ely, Musical: John Coffee, Exchange: Nick Jaureguy, Debating: Nick Dahl, Athletics: Lola Priars, G. A. A.: Frank Van Eaton, Personals: Bertha Wotton, Merle Agnew, Fred Havel. Staff Artists. We turn over the joys and cares of the 'iTahoma to this able staff with a sigh of relief and regret, and we sincerely hope that they will derive as much pleasure and have to work as hard as we did. Best wishes, l9I4. THE. CLASS PLAY HE two performances of the Piper were not nearly enough, as both nights the house was sold out with many more people trying to buy tic ets. Those who were lucky enough to buy early saw the best class play in the history of the school. The new stage was an important factor in this success, as it allowed much more scenery to be put on and held all the actors without crowding. The stage settings alone raised the production above any other attempt at High School dramatics, being painted especially for the Piper. Then the footlights and the colored spotlight made it seem like the Hippodrome. The costuming was also out of the ordinary. But it was really the acting that made the show, and most of the credit must be handed to Miss Perkins on a silver platter. She certainly had that bunch of would-be stars ready to step right on to the Orpheum circuit. We shall take the ladies first. For first honors, Esther Strachan as Veronika, and Frances Reedy as Barbara, ran a dead heat. Veronika was probably the most difficult part in the play, being very emotional, and supposed by many to be beyond the reach of any High School girl, but Esther Strachan got it across in such shape that the audience, instead of laughing at the sad scenes as they generally do at a class play, sat in dead silence while Veronika pleaded for the return of her little boy. Frances Reedy's part was not so trying, as she must have found it an THE TAHOMA THE TAHOMA 73 1. - 1:4 Scene l, Act II easy matter to look sweet and pretty, and she suited the part well. Her acting of the love scene ranked her with Esther Strachan as leading lady. Old Ursula, the town pessimist, was admirably handled by Zelma Holman. The wives of the several town business men were played to perfection by Cath- erine Burnside, Anna Soule, and Dorothy Milne. ln fact, the same can be said about the parts taken by all the other girls. John Hill must have been born to play the part of the Piper. He was the hit of the performance, as it was an extremely difficult part to play. He was ably supported by James Baker as Michael-the-Sword-Eatcr, and Kenneth Leahy as Cheat-the-Devil. Baker was mixed up in some love making and proved a shining star at it. A large share of the applause was carried away on the shoulders of Bobbie Tuttle, a grammar school boy. He was given the part of Jan the lame boy, and though small of stature, he must have received more than his share of acting talent. The town Burghers, who proved to be tight-wads when it came to paying for the Piper, were all well acted, and the same can be said of all the town officials. The children were another strong point in the play. A few Seniors were among the band, but for the most part they were tiny grammar school and freshie children. The whole show was a great success, both financially and artistically, and was a credit to all connected with it, whether stagehand or director. ASSEMBLIES . On Friday, May 23, an assembly was called at the end of the fourth period. Dr. Padelford, head of the English department of the U. of W., was present and read to the pupils one of his own compositions, a story of great interest about Samuel Osborne, a former janitor at Colby College. The story was much enjoyed by the pupils. 74 THE TAHOMA The Memorial Day Assembly was held Wednesday, May 28. Law- rence Terry, a member of the graduating class, recited l..incoln's famous Get- tysburg address. Then Captain Neil, a veteran of the Civil and Spanish Wars, described the scenes in the trenches at Petersburg. At the close of his talk, Captain Wright, also a veteran of both wars, told about the battles of Shiloh and Corinth and the trenches of Petersburg. Through the talk of both soldiers ran a vein of humor, which ,though they described scenes of horror and sadness, broke out in pictures of camp life. The chorus sang several patrioticisongs and the whole school sang America, The Tahoma staff of l9l3 wishes to thank the advertisers of the Ta- homa for the hearty support they have shown in the last year. And it is the hope of the said staff that the students of the Stadium l-ligh School will show their appreciation by patronizing the advertisers who have made the publication of the l9l3 Tahoma possible. 95 Ewurixmi s , W at W T H E T A H o M A 75 Commencmeni Program , l-Apple Blossoms-A tone poem . . . ......

He had made many friends in the short time that he was here. His sudden death came as a great shock to the school. The students and teachers of the Stadium High School desire to extend their sympathy to his parents and sisters in their great bereavement. THE TAHOMA 77 6- .. ,xu i W 117' Y If MM' 31531917019 A i s q or aan 'R lb R sl As the result of a little trouble our boys had on the street car, an as- sembly of boys was held to discuss a method of dealing with these little troublesome incidents. A judiciary committee of three students was elected, whose duty is to look after such misconduct and, if necessary, bring the culprit to trial by the students. The first offense worthy of notice was truancy. A court was organized, consisting of a judge, prosecuting and defending attorneys, and six jurymen. VVlhen the boys were tried, each pleaded guilty to the charge of truancy, having nothing to say in their defense. The jury recommended that each of the boys should be made to stay after school four nights with forty-five minutes each of solid labor under the direction of some teacher. Besides this, they were required to read a report of the proceeding of the court before an assembly of the whole school. Mr. Parker approved the recommendation and the puishment was carried out. So it seems that We have at last found a way to administer justice witle- out bringing all the little petty wrongs before the principal and the eye of the school. All those who participated in the trial are to be commended for the very orderly and business-like manner in which the whole matter was handled. The Barlow Gym Girls have been playing tennls under Miss Salbergs directions lately and are having a fine time. Every one wants to play now as this fine weather furnishes a wonderful inducement and we have fine courts. 78 THE TAHOMA Qslumni , l l I GERALDINE PRATT Alumni Editor Louise Atchison '11 graduates this June from Ellensburg Normal.

Just think, the time of summer is at hand and only a few days more and the good times will begin! fEverybody happy? J Although this past year has not been terribly active in the social line, what there has been has been all the more appreciated and enjoyable. Especially since the nice weather started have the picnics and informal dances been in full swayg and probably the real fun of the summer months has just commenced. Even our worthy teachers have joined in the gay times this last month. The last affair was up-to-date. On their programme was a picnic at Point Defiance Park. From reports they must have had a fine time. X Our commencement this year will be held on Thursday evening, June 19, in the High School Auditorium. The Class of 1913 is lucky to be the first class to graduate from the new stage. On account of the fine seating capacity of our auditorium, each member of the class receives five tickets so that for the first time pretty near all the papas and mamas and little sisters and brothers can come and see the flower of the family stand up and receive the pride of their life, a diploma from Old Tacoma High. As you all know this wonderful Class will not be permitted to hold the usual annual Class Picnic, so that this evening of the nineteenth will close all our happy and long-to-be-rememberv ed High School Days together. The members of the Class Play Cast have once more been delightfull entertained, this time by an informal dancing party at the Drury Apartments, given by Esther Strachan. Although not everyone danced they all were pres- ent and passed a most enjoyable evening together. The party was charmingly THE. TAHOMA SI chaperoned by Mrs. Drury and Mrs. Strachan. Miss Perkins was one of the few honored guests. As a final farewell to the Class of 1913, the Tacoma High Alumni are going to give a dance in their honor at Sloan's Hall June 18. This will be the last time we are together as a class. SENIOR RECEPTION And now it's all over-but then what fun it was while it lasted! The Senior Reception, we mean. The hall never looked prettier than the other night, dec- orated with blue and gold festocns of crepe paper from the center of the big girders to the walls, with large bunches or rather masses of Scotch broom in the corners, along the balcony and covering the radiators, and then with the big pennants of Old Taccma High. Under this canory of brilliant colors danced the large assemblage from eight-thirty till eleven-thirty to the grand music furnished by Niece's twelve-piece orchestra. Although the punch was a. little scarce, those who visited the prettily decorated tables in time certainly say it was the best punch ever. Those in charge of the dance were Charles Grin- nell, chairmang Elizabeth Younglove, Leotta Foreman, Elizabeth Morrill and Herbert Pinkham. 82 THE TAI-IOMA us-fir , 35 fr - MAY NILES Musical Editar Just as our Chorus Udid itself proud at the concert, so did our orchestra at the class play. The HS. H. S. Band certainly did itself justice at both per- formances. Mr. Sende deserves great praise for the way he has built up 'his orchestra in the short While he has been here. The musical program for both nights of the class play is as follows: 1 Old Faithful ......... .... A be Holzman 2 Lust Spiel Overture... ...... Kiler Bela 3 La Cinquantine ..... ....

Mr. Sende is to be comlimented on his efficient work in the Music De- artment, one of the most important institutions in our Stadium High School. THE TAI-IOMA 83 Brhzxiing ELIZABETH SHACKLEFORD Debating Editor What has happened to the Debating Society? Has the sun dried the flowing eloquence, or the rain extinguished the fervid glow of oratory? Or perhaps the explanation is that those voices which were wont to make empty seats of 107 resound are now occupied in bewildering the teachers, and giving classmates a chance to slumber? Can it be possible that the debaters have taken to studying so diligently in this last quarter of the year that the place that knew them must know them no more? The reader may take the explanation that suits him best, as the editor of Br0wning's works says when he gets in a tight place. At any rate the fact remains that, for the third time, the Debating Society has been unable to get a quorum. And yet they say three times is the charm! There were many im- portant announcements made at this meeting. An examination of the inter- scholactis debating rules showed that Tacoma would not be allowed to give her first team debaters medals, so the former action on that subject was rescinded. The academy of Puget Sound University would not accept our challenge at such a late date, so there will be no more first team debates this season. The academy, however, asked for a date next fall. The Junior-Freshman debate has likewise been called off. The celebrated cubist still walks unguarded in our midst, for there was not enough energy left in the society to attempt his conviction on the charges brought against him sometime ago. The English debates present a more cheerful picture. Miss Alcott's classes have been discussing the question Resolved: That Cabinet Members Should be Allowed to Sit in Congress. The boys were pitted against the girls. The leaders of the first period were, Beatrice Rogers and Roy Sypher, for the fifth, Hazel Sangerson and Leo Gallagher. In the first period class the girls won, but the other debate did not take place in time for this number of the Tahoma. Mr. Garlick's classes are debating the question, 'Resolved, that there should be one continuous school session from 8:30 to 12:30. These debates, too, will be too late for this Tahoma. 84 THE. TAHOMA ilqlsiinzi Qzgg 'ss KEITH GOODMAN Athletic Editor TRACK MEETS Stadium 67, Broadway 46 Bandy in the hurdles showed up his much touted rival in great style. Spike, as usual, turned on lots of gasoline and burnt up the track in the 100 yards and 220. Mulvey tied the state record in 440. In the shot, dis- cus, and jumps we showed our supremacy, capturing most of the points in these events. Broadway managed to get two flrsts, in the mile and the pole vault, and to tie for first in the half mile. This meet proves that we have the best track team .emrng the larger schools. We have beaten all the Seattle schools in succession. It shows how well our boys have trained and the good coaching they have received. Coach Bell is well pleased with the showing so far this year. THE INTERCLASS MEET By a close score the Juniors managed to nose out a victory by one point in the interclass meet held on the Wednesday before Decoration Day. The final score stood: Juniors 45, Seniors 44, Sophomores 25, Freshmen 3. Crane did the big work for the Juniors, taking first place in the jumps, second in the 100 yard dash and high hurdles. Bandy showed himself as a coming broad jumper. His mark of 19 feet is good for a fellow who never jumped before. Gilbert took first in the pole vault and Eckle did likewise in the 440. The interclass meet serves to bring out some fellows who have never had a chance to turn out before. In Finnegan, Van Eaton, Burns and Sceva the THE TAHOMA 85 under-classmen have some good material for future teams. We wish these fellows and the fellows who will be back next year all kinds of luck. THE STATE MEET Did we win it? Well, I guess. It's a shame to tell the score. The way Crane cleared that bar fwe are talking about the high jump bar, of coursel, was nothing short of a scandal. Just imagine it-6 feet 2M inches. lt's just 14 of an inch past the world's interscholastic mark. Besides this, Crane won the Lroad jump and got third in the high hurdles. Through this he won the individual cup. This makes the second time he has won it. Three cheers for Cant. Alfred Crane! The rest of the good work was done by Bandy, Roberts, Staatz, Hall, Mul- vey, Dee-gan and Bonnell. These fellows did all the point winning for us. Mulvey and Deegan were the sensation of the day in the 440. Both fellows got .a good start and finished first in one of the prettiest races ever seen in BXNDY BREAKING S'l'A'l'I'I RECORD AT STATE MEET.

M THE TAHOMA the Stadium. The work of Spike Roberts brought the spectators to their feet more than once. Spike in the 100 yard dash clipped off 1-5 of the state record. Spike also took Hrst in the 220. Our relay team won an exciting victory over Broadway. Roberts, Deegan, Mulvey, and Griffith clipped 3-5 of a second from the record. This event brought to a close one oil the best meets we have ever seen in the Stadium. The only sad part left is the score.

In the sixth inning the pedagogues, or the most honorable faculty, laid down their arms and peacefully surrendered, thus acknowledging that skill is mightier than brains. The game was witnessed by a crowd of a dozen Seniors who surrounded another crowd ,composed of faculty members and lower classmen who were composed of one vast howl, and rooted madly for the class room tyrants. The Seniors did not need the support of the lower classmeng they won anyway. .,,,. q N4 alla, Q , 'ui 1: ff at V143 vf ty-1755 K 3 'yawdw' 1 Y, ' .f 4 lr. , V erm, 'land ROBERTS WINNING 220 YARD DASH 90 THE TAI-IOMA Nick Brazell was easily the star of the game.

One of these victims was the school which gets its name from Abraham Lincoln. No one knows just how the calamity happened, but somehow we landed on the pitcher. Cozza, Hall and Murray lit on him in a most unmerciful manner. Each man got three hits at the op- portune moment. Most of the hitting came in the eighth when six hits were registered which brought in tive runs. Oh, but the team did it some that day.

The fellows got so tired bringing those 12 hits and 14 runs that they just had to give the hill dwellers a chance at the stick. To tell the truth the runs came pouring in so fast that Scorer Pole got into a cold sweat trying to keep tab on the fellows who came in at the rate of many per. None of our batters got less than twolhits. Cozza got four, Gilbert and Johnson each three, and the rest of the fellows each got two. STADIUM HIGH MIDGETS THE TAHOMA THE FRANKLIN GAME 93 Hoorah!

The Track Meet There will be no girls' annual track meet this year, as there was on time for training. G. A. A. The G. A. A. will have a meeting VVednesday June 4, in the Gymnasium. A number of new members will be taken in. A picnic dinner is planned for the society. The G. A. A. has proved a decided success, and has done good work. The Baseball Tournament The annual Baseball Tournament was held May 13, 14 and 15. All the teams did good work, and there was good team work throughout all the games. The Juniors won by a comparatively easy fight. May 13, the Freshmen and Sophomores played, the Sophomores winning with a score of 20 to 7. May 11 the Juniors Won from the Sophos. by 25 to 8. May 15 the Juuniors beat the Freshmen 25 to 4. Field Day Thursday May 29, the Gym. girls helped in the Field Day exercises. All 240 girls took part in the Majestic Schottische.

MENTION THE TAI-IOMA T0 OUR ADVERTISERS THE TAHOMA I27 otice to Advertisers l i I -1 The Tahoma staff of 1913 wishes to thank the adver- tisers of the Tahoma for the hearty support they have shown in the last year. And it is the hope of the said staff that the students of the Stadium High School will show their appreciation by patronizing the advertisers who have made the publication of the l9I 3 Tahoma possible. Five burly Broadway boys, on a certain memorable afternoon last month, were making their way up Cliff avenue, taking up most of the road and flinging disparaging remarks about everything they couldn't under- stand, which included almost every- thing they saw. Finally they passed H neatly kept house where a gentle little matron was caring for her roses. With an air of mock politeness, the crowd went up to the little woman, and the largest boob, hat in hand, asked waggishly, Madam, will you kindly tell us the name of this quiet village? The woman, with an air of perfectly good breeding, looked them straight in the eye and without smiling answered, That's a secret known to everybody but us. The fatuous young gentlemen stood a moment in bewilderment, then re- tired discomfited. What a tragedy to be eternally lam- basted in tennis-singles, doubles and thribbles, baseball, both midget. and boy sizeg track without actually win- ning a single event, and then never know who licked them. Miss Alcott strolls down the aisle, picks up Geo. W's carefully prepared notes on Self Cultivation in English , turns them upside down and other- wise, and says: Well, if you can make anything out of them, it's all right with me. Guessing Safe-Miss Liddell: Be- fore whom did Cicero deliver his oration? Latin Stude: Why--er--there were some people there, and he delivered it before them, I guess.
