THE PHANTOM WILL Through fhe wind-driven. rain swepf nighf, fhree figures crepf furfively foward an apparenfly vacafed huf far off fhe beafen pafh. SiIen+Iy, fhe leader sfepped +o fhe fore and beaf a curious faffoo upon fhe door of The huf. His hands no sooner leff Ihe sill fhan lhe door opened sfeadily and silenfly, and a muffled figure, all in black. moiioned quickly for fhem fo enfer. Swiffly 'rhey obeyed, and fhe door closed silenfly, ominouslyf leaving fhem wifh a muffled old man. The room was oppressive, dark, and yef filled wifh an efhereal Iighf which made obiecfs visible while apparenfly in darkness. And such obiecfs! Crysfals, huge fables, and, sifuafed as fhough for decorafion, replicas of black cafs and bafs, realisfically seffled in affifudes of repose. Silenfly fhe old man mofioned fhe fhree 'ro seafs around a fancifully carved fable. My friends, came his voice, you need nof 'fell me your obiecf for visiI'ing here. Thaf, I already know. You wish fo 'ralk fo fhe deceased, fhe class of '36, which has passed ouf of fhe life of high school. You wish +o know of any assefs fo which you mighf fall heir fo. Verily, if shall be. The voice faded, 'rhe faloned hand of 'Ihe man soffly fouched 'lhe images on fhe fable, and insfanfly fhe room clouded wifh a suffocaf- ing afmosphere. A voice, powerful, permeafing, and apparenfly coming from no direclion whafever, smofe upon fhem. Hella, classmafes of Tigard. There are many 'rhings Ieff you by fhis deceased one, which will do you many good furns in fhe fufure. Lisfen carefully, fhaf you mighf hear everyfhing of value. We hereby leave you: Sporfsmanship, a requisife fhroughoul' life, of as high a sfandard as fhe moonlif nighf is silver. Purify of soul and mind fo face a problemafical world, wi+hou'r wavering from fhe sfraighf and narrow info 'Ihe black and unknown realms of clecepfion and guile. Youfh and vigor, for we hope you will always remain young, and as acfive as fhe efforfless movemenf of phanfoms. Courage of fhe sfrongesf fype, fo confronf and overcome Ihe mysferies of life as frue acf overcomes supersfifion. Independence of body and spirif, so you may depend on self, noi' on some deceiver. whose mind could well be compared +o fhe crooked and abysmal confines of a Chinese dungeon. Courfesy of spirif and acfion, for life is a maffer of appearance and acfion, and nof fo be iudged parfially in The direcfion of supersfifion and presumpfive fhoughf on spirifualism. Will, fo carry you fhrough danger, and face Ihe doubfful and 'rreacherous chasms of life. lnfelligence: for poor is fhe man who knows nof righl' from wrong, and who knows nof how fo pick frue facfs from fhe boundless buncombe of life. Love-above all, love and devofion, for a friendless life is a prison. Even fhe hideous bafs and wifches of 'rhe nighf would pine away and die wifhouf companionship. The voice paused, and fhe suffocafing afmosphere of fhe room, in some inexplicable way, seemed fading away. Again fhe voice came, buf if was low and infinifely far in fhe disfance. Cherish 'rhese assefs, you of Tigard Union High School, for wifhouf +hem life would be as dead as fhe dawn-ridden spirifs. Again I repeaf, refain fhese inherifances, for hidden in fhem are freasures of boundless dimensions, waifing +o be found. Now, I regreffully leave you. My life is yours no more: 'Ihe spirif of fhe Senior Class of I936 has spoken. ui n ni if vi ri in I6

DEBUNKING THE BUNK OF SUPERSTITION Supersfifion is fhe fheme of fhe Annual of '36 We firmly believe fhaf infelligence and supersfifion will nof mix. American youfhs are foo clever fo be fooled by bunk, So fhe cry arises, Down wifh all supersfifious junk. Absurd beliefs are handed down from fhe dark pasf, Unfil fhey become fixed nofions fhaf offen lasf. We offen hear chaffer abouf a black caf, A horse shoe, four leaf clover, such as fhaf. And fhere are fhose who pick up a pin, And for a girl fo fake fhe lasf slice of bread is a sin. And if your palm ifches do you gef money? Such supersfifious beliefs fo us seem funny. Our elders say lighfning never sfrikes fhe same place fwice. The youfh replies fhaf fhe same place isn'f fhere affer if sfrikes o Menfal felepafhy is discredifed by Youfh. lf is merely coincidence, and noi fhe frufh. Have you ever seen fhe ground hog on February 'rhe second? The dafe on which fhe lengfh of winfer is so reckoned. lf is high prices fhaf makes fish brain food, insfead of meaf. And a square iaw means no more fhan big feef. Andy Gump has an exfremely receding chin. Deferminafion? Does he nof say No 'ro Min. Some forefell 'rhe weafher by sensifive feefh and corns, Buf fhe weafher man is sfill reading 'rhe baromefer of morns. l-laven'+ you always 'rhoughf fhaf red hair means violenf femper? Science says blonds and bruneffes also make us whimper. We believe fhaf The fragedy of Ofhello is ferrible. For if 'reaches evil and wifchcraff fo fhe rabble. The Wifches prophecy of Macbefh fame, IT forecasf by you and l, resulfs would be fhe same Your misforfune, your luck, was nof caused by bunk, Old beliefs can be discarded as so much iunk. You are nof supersfifious, neifher are we, Buf if will keep us working new ideas fo see. I 7 DCS
