Gale, one of the graduates, in time for the Annual. IS SEN I OKS. No doubt the teachers and schoolmates of Union High are grieving at their loss; but we cannot help it—we will have to go. In our brains we. have accumulated such an over-abundant amount of gray matter that we are going to leave and show it. Not all of us will be presidents—because some of us are girls, but the world will surely siart toward perfection, in every way. when we take our stands in life. When we entered the Freshmen Class of 1907. the teachers all realized that this was the most promising bunch that they had ever s ood before, but of course, they were too modest to say it. The reason probably was. that they thought flattery may even spoil good students. On entering the Sophomore Class we were still more brilliant. We gained a great deal of knowledge while in that class, but not nearly so much as we know now. and we well remember our worthy instructor. Frost, whom we never tried to freeze (out) like other classes did. for we never failed to have our Latin—we used to get it after sessions. While in the Junior Class we surely did stunning things at which all the school wondered. DeLay has even said. “Well, if this isn't the brightest class I ever saw.” In figuring mathematics, we always had a way and an answer of our own. In geometry we could even figure out square circles. (?) But by the time we entered as Seniors, we had become ideal students, setting the most worthy examples for all other classes not only in this, hut in years to come, and we were always diligently working—DeLay. Now tLat our heads are shaped so perfectly with this High School education, we will leave but we know that we will never be forgotten. We have learned to almost despise people that brag about themselves, although we have loving dispositions. But as this is our last chance, wq are merely tooting our own horns, because we know that no one else will toot them for us. CL VSS STONES: Freshmen—Emery stone.

As it happened I lit on my hfad and was unconscious for several hours. When I came to. it was soon discovered that my right mind was not restored to me and along toward evening I had a high fever. Now this was rather interesting in a way, for during the fever I had a glimpse into the future. It seemed as though I was walking slowly along a shady country lane enjoying the quietness of the country when suddenly I heard som one singing. 1 stopped and listened for the voice, which was very familiar. Yes. th: song she was singing so lovingly was “Cedric, Where Art Thou.” I crept noislessly on and peered thro the branches of the hushes; who do you think I saw sit ing on the vine-covered porch, surrounded by cats, dogs and parrots? Twenty years has not changed her looks a bit. Well, it was Hazcline. She seemed so interested in her song that I decided not to disturb her, so I went a little farther up the lane. I looked off to my right and there saw two men plowing in the field; on looking very closely I saw that they were Henry and Ellik, Being very thirsty I opened th gate and went in to get a drink; both saw me and came quickly to the heuse. Of course we were very glad to see one another and talk ov.r olden times; I found that they were bachelors and lived on this little farm together. I asked them about the old class of 1911. and they told me that they had not seen any of th ii« old class mates since they graduated, but two of them. Corretta was a dress maker in a small town not many miles from there, and the last they heard from her she was do n? well. They told me that Edgar was in the drug business at Telocaset (which was then a large place) and that Herbert and Clarence were his head clerks. I could plainly see that th sr (wo old friends were very anxious to get their plowing finished so I bid them good bye and went back to town. On my way back I passed a little moss-covered cottage set back among tall trees and old moss-cover d stumps. This must have been an old place for the boards around the well were moss-covered, and the old s one cellar—in fact everything about the old plac; was covered with this beautiful plant. I was about to pass on when I noticed two ladies sitting on th . porch. One of them had beautiful black hair and pink cheeks, while the other had faded brown hair, a sallow complexion and sad eyes. The former looked so happy as she sat there working af her embro'd?ry while the latter read to her out of the “Model Housewife. On looking clcs ly I recognized Mae and Fern; I wished very much to ?o and talk to them, but it was getting so la‘e that I could not. All at one everything became a blank, then after a time my fever left me and I was in my right mind again. However, it took ma some time to realize tha: I had had a fever and had really not seen all of these peopl . There was some acid on a chair. De Lay came along and sat clown there. ’Tis hard to tell the reaction. But this we know to our satisfaction. Since then he s found o her trousers to wear. She was a coy young maiden, was Fern. She had beaux and a plenty to burn. But just for to flirt She would treat them like d r And now has a big lesson to learn. ( ! !)

Mias Laufman’s coming forward. “Now Arthur the Nautilus you may say,” “I cannot do it. come what may.” “Remember what this means to you To take this English work anew.” “Your name L titia next I find. You are a pair, two of a kind.” “Jus give me ten more minutes, please. And I can say it through with ease.” Alas, the Juniors' doom was spoken, Miss Laufinan’s word could n ’er be broken; Her angry look the tale unveiled For all the Juniors now had failed. —L. S. 18 THE SAGE CARTOON OK JUNIOR SEARCHING FOR SUBJECT MATTER FOB A THEME. There was a laddie named Paul. And tho surprisingly small He was so exce dingly bright He ne'er needed a light. Not even a candle at all. There was a big lubber named Art. Who was so exc edingly smart. He digested geometry Then cried for trigonometry. Cried till Mae gave him a tart. A sporty young fellow named Gussie Made all the t achers quite fussy; He slept during school. Twas against the rule And to all the girls he talked mushy.

Firstly, because we are the interclass Champions of girls' Bask t Ball. We have never known defeat. Secondly, because we are Sophomores.” for that is the one class in High School that amounts to anything, or at least that is our opinion, but oth r classes have a very different idea of us. so if we do not praise ourselves, think what a predicament we should be in. What does U- H. S. stand for? Union’s Honorable Sophomor s. of course. 1913 may be an unlucky year, but not for this intelligent bunch. That does not phase us. for SUPERSTITION SHOWS IGNORANCE” and none of the 1913 class have anything so vile as that. At present out-average excels any. even that of the Seniors Conceited! That would not half express it. We love—no. simply adore our teachers, and they more than idolize us thev worship us. Why? Because no one could be around us long without so doing. (We ars not to blame.) The Freshman says, 1 know 1C The Sophomore says. “Just so, The Junior says, “1 think so. And the Senior says, “I don't know. 20 THE SAGE A NHJHT IN THE WOODS. Th, leaves were all well out and beautified every branch twig, and vine. Many of the blossoms had bloomed and were again as unnoticeable as the tiniest blossom of the dark forest. The June sun was warm as the kitchen, when I left that Saturday morning on a irip 1 shall try to t 11 you about. It was vacation time and we. two s rong boys, were go ng to have a good time in th woods without a camping outfit or any hing of the sort. My friend. I shall call him Pete, was a handsome lad of about twenty years. His hair was light brown and his eyes were blue. I was called “Spikie.” being tall and slim and very homely. N vertheless w. enjoyed ourselves. We took our bicycles and fishing tackle, gun. and some w're a'nd matches, and s arted out. The roads were exc llerit and therefore we went at a great speed for the first five miles. We did not take any lunch with us. but depend d upon fishing and some of our kind friends along the road for that. We had a very good d nner and were off again a one o’clock. We only had four more miles to go and w soon came to the edge of the forest. We entered the narrow road as though it were onlv leading to a park. But it was a thick forest in a thinly settl d part of the Mississippi Valley. W‘? heard in the distance the sound of wood-choppers and the echo made a strange wild sound. There wer streams scattered throughout the forest which made a dull humming sound. As we came near one of these we saw s veral chip-monks, but we did not care for these because they were not good to eat. We started to fish at once and it d d not take us long o catch more than we could eat in one meal. Pete built a fire while I cleaned the speckled trout. These with the loaf of bread which I had purchased of our friends were just fine as we were very hungry. As the sun was setting we gathered branches for a bed and piled them up near some tall oak trees, then we collected some dead logs for our fire during the night. It was long past our bed time when we went to bed and the evening seem d long and dreary. The logs we had gathered were too dry and were burned before nTd-night. While lying on our b d we told stories talking in undertones. About half-past twelve. Pete fell asleep but I could not sleep in my strange bed. I laid there listening to the owls and other night birds scr eching. I could follow them from tree to tree. I tried to forget them but it was all in vain. Suddenly I heard something walking and h ard its panting and later felt its hot breath on my face. Imagine my fright, no cover to pull over my face. I tried to turn over but could not. My coat was stuck to the branches with pitch. A hot tongue touched my fac as if trying to lick it. I put my arms over my face. Many strange thoughts passed through my mind. I am afraid you would laugh if I would tell them to you. I do not know’ how' the night passed—I think I fainted—but when I opened my eyes it w'as beginning to get light. I sat up. though not withou difficulty, and looked around, wondering that I was yet alive. My eyes soon caught my dog, Hovel , sleeping on the branch s at our feet. LILLIAN RATZ. THE SAGE 21 Top row.

There are many twentieth century Rip Van Winkles of this age and I am very sorry to say it. “But several are in the Freshman Class of the Union Public School. ’ The one I write about is the one who impresses me as the laziest and I see him most as I sit in front of him in school and sometimes beside him in English Class. He is tall, stoop shouldered, has blue eyes, wears black buttoned shoes, black coat, black overcoat and a gray hat. And when he parts his hair it is parted on the side but seldom sees a comb or brush as he never gets up in time to comb it as he would be apt to be late for school. He seldom works but when he does it is for his own pleasure or at some one else’s home; but never to improve the looks of his own home. Sometimes he’s with some of his “pals.” plays hookey on Friday afternoons to “break colts” for his close friend, another Rip Van W.nkle. He spends his summers in the mountains, swimming, hunting, fishing, visiting. exploring caves, riding calves and bronchos to his heart’s content. When he goes home from school he throws his hat in one corner, bis coat in the other, moves a chair up close to a table and pretends to be studying so he will not have to work or milk the cow—says he has hay fever so as to get out of feeding the horses, compells his little brother to bring in the wood, goes to school because he wants to be an athleie as he cannot find anything else worth doing. He is very kind hearted, loves dogs as most Rip Van Winkles do. and his hardest task in life is to tell the truth. When he finds nothing else pleasing to do., he borrows his neighbor’s dog “Rastis. takes his gun, goes down to see one of the other Rip Van Winkles and they go hunting together. When they return home their game must be skinned and properly prepared by their mothers or sisters or it is left undone as they are too lazy to do anything but eat and lay around the house. “But with all his faults I love him still because he is my brother.” E.

The boys of the Union High were not so interested in football this season as they have been in previous y ars. The material this year wa3 light but nevertheless several interesting games were played. In playing th y formed good intereference. and used good head and team work but thjir rivals outmatched them in weight. “Why don’t you go in for football Herbert?” “Oh. shucks. I tried it once, but you know you simply can’t keep a crease in those b astly padded trousers, dont cher know.” THE SAGE « FIRST TEAM BASKET BALL...BOYS The Union High School Basketball team was the champion High School team of Union County and one of th e best teams in Eastern Oregon. The first game that was played was with La Grande and was lost; but from then on the home team won every game played by opposing teams of the valley. Our old rival Cov., was outclassed in two games; even with Pendleton. the champions of Eastern Cregon. the Union High held the lead until after the .first half. GAMES PLAYED.

Here Herbert learned to cook, and George decided that hydrogen and air was an explosive mixture; her Letitia and some of her associates made some preliminary experiments with brimstone; here the odors of cod fish balls and H2S have struggled long for supremacy. Gun-powder soap, red fire and bad odors have been prepared in the Chemical Labratory, while the domestic science class has succeeded in making the only successful substitute for India rubber that the world has ever known. While the “Chemists’ experimented on the effect of nitric acid on the bell rope, their neighbors to the south were busy testing Olson’s constitution. Mr. Olson is still all right but the bell rope has gone into a bad state of decay. The experiment will be reversed next time.
