THE CHINOOK 1912 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE Senior Class of the Montana State Normal College DILLON, MONTANA IDebtcation To K. RAY MOSHER, our class professor, and to Mrs. ANNA OWSLEY our matron, we dedicate this, the 19J2 Chinook. jfovewovb fF is not without some hesitation that we present this, our Chinook, to tin faculty, students, alumni, and friends of the Montana State Normal College, for we are well aware that our etl'ort is not faultless. Vet in submitting this volume we only ask that you will “He to its virtues very kind : He to its faults a little blind.” Our Chinook was not intended for a masterpiece: it is simply an attempt to make a faithful record of college life as we have found it in the Montana State Normal College— especially as it appears to us in this our last and happiest year in the College. t Page THE CHINOOK Zbc 1912 Cbinooh Staff. 1 DANHA BAKER.......

Idanha, too, has joined her there, so she last wrote to me. The funniest thing that she did say about our dear old mates! Kolyand her friend next door have joined their large estates. Edith Browning was next in line, who did surprise us all. For she is doing her very best as matron of Normal Hall. Anastasia has gone to help the whole world laugh. She is making comic records for T. E.’s phonograph Our little girl named Anna II. has gone to aid the youth In learning the essentials of tlu three It’s and of truth. Marie has gone to join the Spinsters’ Club of M. N. O. Likewise Miss Bertha Oard, who has now her I h. 1). Hazel T. is there as president, with Lucy as the vice. Inez is the treasurer, and Mae S. gives advice. Helen 0. says she will win the battle for us yet, Do you know what she has done? Become a suffragette. Ada H. is aiding in this great woman’s work, She is listed for a speech in the big town known as Burke. Musicians in our class we find were plentiful and line; There are Anna R., Amelia, Dora M., and Til in line; Joe Erwin and Iva M. have steadily climbed higher. They are the leading voices in the opera called Tyre. “Billy” B is widely known as an editor of weight; Her “Hints on Composition” is the text in English Eight. Topsy has found a better way to aid in education. She has taken up home-building as her serious occupation. Khoda had abilities, in number not a few. But what has pleased her best of all is a little farm for two. Alberta, our class artist, has succeeded very well As the comic illustrator of a paper down in Dell. Harriet Ellinghouse, grown weary of her former state of life. Raised her plane and now is soaring as an aviator’s wife. The Normal cook departed, but Florence takes her place, In making hash and biscuits, also in Idling space. Our two Elizabeths had joined the pedagogue’s profession, But sad to tell, they soon had made this terrible confession: “We were not meant for teachers, but our life work will be this— That we'll take up tin duties and the joysof wedded bliss. Lena 'l ing, our president, has fulfilled our expectations. And as head of a Reform School she has earned her reputation. Thus each at last has found the life the kindly fates designed her. Godspeed the girl of 1912, wherever you may find her. Pago ‘28 THE CHINOOK Junior Banquet. Program.

THE CHINOOK The Tale of the Class of Nineteen Thirteen. Book I—Preps. In tins book is told of the earlier years of the class,how they came to Normal Hill, and their achievements thereon. Years ago, in our Montana, there were many maidens bright, Who had heard of Normal Hill and its teacher-making might. Said they: “We’d like to try it,—to guide the young aright. To lead them in the narrow way, on upwards toward the . light.” So a morn in autumn found them lined before the office door. Tall and short maids, fat and thin maids, pig-tailed maidens by the score. After dwelt they merry-hearted, though not first, yet never late. Made a try for all the trophies. That they won not, blame not Fate. Chose Monroe, their class professor, to advise and help them all And they henceforth ever vote him prince of Profs in Normal Hall. When late comers entered Prepdom and for membership applied, They must first, e’er other terrors, learn the wild class goat to ride. Stunts on Freshmen, Junior parties filled the rest of their Prep days, And departing in each June-time, sung they loudly Normal’s praise. Page Book II—Sophomore-Freshmen. In this book is contained the record of the second venture of the class of 1018. While the workmen yet were laboring, strengthening the House of Dorm, Then returned our former maidens in September bright and warm. They took the name of Sophomore-Freshmen, and gay enough they were and glad, Yet new occasions taught new duties; there were troubles to be had Though they struggled, still no honors even yet enhanced their name. Here,as in the year they entered,one has only fate to blame. And this class both wise and thoughtful, kept their motto well in view: “If you give the best toothers, then the best will come to you.” Helped the Seniors, who their friends were; plagued and teased the Junior ('lass; Studied hard in all their subjects—aimed to know as well as pass. With the Preps they had a picnic, picnicked all one glorious day: Had a race home with the High School. Did they win? Well, I should—! When at last the year was ended, of Sophomore-Freshmen it was said, Though in numbers they were lacking, they in spirit,ever led. Page 88 Book III—Juniors. In this hook is told of the deeds of the class of 1918 in their Junior year. Now of the mighty Juniors, our tale begiimeth to tell. Mow they journeyed hack in autumn, with many other ones as well; Mow joined they all together in a class, near thirty stron g; How many friendships then sprang up,—may they continue long. At Hallowe’en with clever stunts the classes did compete. The Juniors won them much renown by a mock commencement feat. Though they did not gain the pennant, they worked hard in basketball, And the cheering of their rooters was the loudest in the hall. Yea, and high upon the Hag-pole in view of all the town. Hung they a Senior dummy. The Seniors could n«t get it down. They hid the dark blue sweaters from the Freshmen trim and small; They published a Junior Monmal, that was not so bad at all Live and flourish long their memory, gay, big-hearted, honest, great For their Hunk-marks and lost trophies as before said, blamed but Fate. Class Yell Eminent, prominent! Well, I guess. Junors, Juniors, Above the rest! Lively game! Just the same! Juniors, Juniors, Never tame! THK CHINOOK Class Song (Tune, Soldier’s Chorus.) We are the Juniors of 11)1 2, True to our college and true to ourselves Loyal to everything that is good. Steadfastly standing, hold in the ranks Where .Juniors have stood. Who needs spirit or tact? Who is ne’er dismayed? Who lacks courage to act, When a stunt is played? Who would lly from a foe or show signs of fear. Or boast she was brave When others looked grave? Not a Junior dear. We are the Juniors of 11)12, True to our college and to ourselves. Loyal to everything that is good, Steadfastly standing, bold in the ranks. Where Juniors have stood Honor and praise to the Juniors bold! Others may copy their virtues gold. .Mighty in heart and renowned in deed, Heady to hold and bravely defend Our college creeds. Who would mention the faults of a comrade dear? Who’d stand silent apart, when she ought to cheer? Who would shrink from a task, or at duty wane, Or willfully do a thing she would rue And dishonor our name? Honor and praise to the Junior hold! Others may copy their virtues gold.

NEY a cloud of dust four miles out on the flat Onear sundown of a scorching July afternoon broke the monotony of t he sandflat that stretches away for seven miles from the Whitney Greek divide. It was following the stage road, and as it came toward the divide, it unrolled itself into a thin ribbon that streamed from a dark, moving something. It was the Terry stage: a huckboard shaded by a striped brown-and-whito sunshade wagon top and jerked by a brown pony-tea m, who jogged through the thick dust in their never-tiring dog trot to the continuous jangling of the harness and rattling of the buck board. The Hying dust had coated all, and streaks of sweat gave the dust-greyed ponies a grimy appearance. There was a passenger in the seat beside the driver—a girl. She was undoubtedly just from the East—her smart traveling suit, her air of refinement-, her low clear voice, her white skin, that seemed never to have known hot sun and wind, told that. But she did not belong to the East. This was Madge Hunter’s native country, this country through which she was now riding in a hot, dusty stage. Her father had come to it from Kentucky when she was a child, and had been among the first to set up the rule of the cattlemen on its breaks and hills and plains. She had grown up in it.—a wild thing like all other things in that country,—exulting in her wild freedom and laughing with joy to feel the swift limbs of her Indian pony thrilling under her in a race across the plains; to hear the wind whistling in her ears and feel it blowing hack her hair and dress and the mane and tail of tin horses in their wild light. This was the only life she kew then. Next to her horse, she loved her piano. It sang that joy and exultation and thrill which she felt. But it sang too loud and true, one day, to ears never intended to hear. Madge was sent to a conservatory in the East and another piano sang the song. Her musical education was completed now, and she was coining hack to awaken the old song once more before she left the old life behind and entered a new one as instructor iu music in an Eastern college. The stage emerged from the flat and began to climb the divide. The ponies slowed down from their dog-trot and flattened their backs for a long, uphill pull. The sun was gone when they reached the top and Madge looked down into the creek bottom where a mile away her father's ranch nestled among the cottonwoods fringing the creek. There lay the long, low ranch-house with its dirt roof and the garden behind it. A short distance away were the bunkhouse, barn, and corrals. A volume of dust rose in the corral and swallowed the two figures perched on the fence. The creek bottom was alive with cattle and horses and riders, and two tents were pitched by a couple of wagons a half mile up the creek. “The roundup!” Madge cried. Suddenly one of the men on the corral fence jumped down and ran to the house. An instant later he came out Page 46 with a man and a woman, and the little group watched tlie stage crawling along the divide. Madge’s heart hounded at sight of the three forms. “Mother! Daddie! Jim !” she called. The prairie dogs set up an excited harking from their town on the side of the hill. And just then the west opened its sunset gate and Hooded the hills with lire . To Madge it was a lire of welcome, and the grating of the brakes, the harking of the little prairie dogs ’by the road, who scampered to their holes and, with a hark and jerk of their funny little tails, ducked into them, the bawling of cattle, the heat of hoofs, the whinnying of horses, and the “Howdy’s” of the riders as the stage passed them wore a song of welcome which reached its climax in the voices of tho three people waiting for her at tin ranch—father, and mother and Jim. She knew In would Ik there to welcome her, this dear big broad-shouldered curly headed, laughing Jim, whom she had ridden with, and teased and scullied with in the old, wild, joyous days, lit had never failed her. She turned from her parents to Jim, who stood a little aloof, uncertain how to greet this new Madge, with the old taunt that used to tease him worse than anything else. “Jim!” she cried out in mock horror and despair, “haven’t you a mustache yet? Oh dear, you never will get ‘growed-up’ and he a man!” Jim relaxed into himself before the old Madge. “You ain’t so 'growed-up’ either, my line miss,” he exclaimed with a merry laugh; and picking her up bodily before she caught the mischief in his eyes and twitching lips, he planted a boyish kiss on her cheek and bore her, scolding and struggling to the house. Then the glow faded from the hills. THE CHINOOK Twelve years before, on a trip to Chicago with some cattle Mr. Hunter had picked up Jim Carr, a dirty-faced street urchin of thirteen; and, struck with the bright face and mischievous ways of the boy, he had packed him out West on trial. When he found that the boy stood the test, he gave him an interest in the cattle with the promise of making him ins partner when he was twenty-one. And that promise had been kept. All who knew Jim loved him; the young giant charmed them all with his boyish face, curly brown hair, and big heart, just as he had charmed Madge’s father who cherished the hope that Jim might some day become his son. Jim cherished tin same hope, too. But Madge had always put him off with the derisive little taunt “Why, Jimmie dear, you’re only a boy. You can’t even grow a mustache.” Then she had gone East. “The boys up at the camp want to know if you’ll swap some music for a bucking exhibition,” Jim announced to Madge as sin sat at the supper table enjoying a delicious piece of beef from the big huid quarter that the wagon boss had sent down with his compliments. “Tell them to come right along!” she answered, jumping up to get into a dainty little white dress that would look cool to hot fellows almost wilted by the heat from the sun and branding lire. Suddently the cowboys appeared on the hill. The central figure was a big grey horse whom vigorous application of his rider’s spurs sent up into the air, and he “went to it hard.” Then he broke into a running buck and the boys tore down the hill toward the house after him, whooping and yelling. “Oh dont’come through the fence!” Madge screamed, for they 1 id not pull in their horses even when THE CHINOOK ten feet from the fence. Every horse hit the ground with a jolt as they came to a standstill with their necks over the top wire, and every hat came oil' with a last whoop from the riders. Madge joined in the laugh at her foolish warning. Trust a western horse to know barb-wire! Some of the men knew Madge and they welcomed her heartily. “Won’t you tie up your horses and come in now ?” she asked. The dusty, sweaty fellows looked from the clean, cool girl in white to the queer-looking bundles they carried. “After a little, thank you, they replied. “We’re going down to your father’s reservoir to get cooled oil lii t. They were gone in a flash, leaving a streak of dust down the road behind them. She was playing a snatch from the “Mower Song that used to remind her of a race at the roundup, when they came back and she did not know that any of them m come into the room until she heard their applau.se am looked around to see them squatting along the all ''11 1 admiration in their rough faces.

Then she closed the piano . , “Don’t spoil that piece by clapping , fellows, u a when it was ended. “It sounds like a peaceful nip, spring with moon light just like this. Page 47 She called a good night to them from the gate and stood watching them disappear in the moonlight. She turned suddenly to see Jim’s eyes fastened on her with a look whose meaning she could not mistake. “Wouldn’t you sooner play to that kind of audience than a hunch of pupils who wouldn’t appreciate you one tenth as much? Oh Madge, I want you!” He broke out so passionately that she was frighened. She tried to say “Oh Jimmie, dear, you're only a boy,” but she could not. He was no longer a boy and she knew it. All tlie mischief was gone from his eyes and love was there instead. She lied to the house without a word. All the next day she watched the stir and life around her and at the roundup camp: the whinnying horse herd scattered over the creek bottom, the great herd of cattle grazing or bedded down by the water holes in the shade of the cottonwoods, the smoke and dust at the branding fire, the riders, and the camp: and she felt the old fascination of the West come surging back stronger than ever. After supper she walked over to the corral with Jim to see her own Indian pony, whom one of the hoys had just brought in from the range. “He’s looking slick and rollieky, now. There’s not been much for him to do since you left. Want to try him?” he asked. I'll he ready right away,” she answered, slipping her arms from around the horse’s neck and giving his glossy withers a parting slap. “Indian, old boy, you’ll have to help me win her back to the West and me,” Jim whispered as he tightened the ladigo. They rode out along the Ash Greek road where they had so often ridden together. They rode in the shade of Page IS the murmuring cottonwoods and smelled the sweet smell of the wild roses and thickets along the edge of the creek: and as they passed the Cedar Buttes the breeze brought them the delicious odor of running cedar. The air that breathed into the creek was warm and sweet. 1 hey rode slowly, and she talked gayly as they went along, with laughter breaking into the story of her ups and downs at school. But she did not tell him of the terrible loneliness when she had felt the West culling her: that would be to challenge him. The dew was beginning to fall when they turned back: the night hawks were darting about over their heads and the occasional wail of an owl or bawling of cattle came to them. Suddenly a jackrabbit popped, startled, out from a clump of sagebrush in front of her horse and Scurried into the dusk. Indian gave a snort and shot out, almost from tinder her, into a frantic run. dim spurred his horse to the pursuit. That ride seemed to him a ride through hell as he pursued the Hying forms so close before him yet never growing any closer. He called to her encouragingly, but his words were drowned by the pounding hoof beats. Madness seized him : he cursed himself for putting Madge on a horse just off the range, when he. saw that the level stretch broke into a ragged piece of badland not far ahead. Then he saw the horse stumble and get up again, headed straight toward the badlands. But he was not running so fast now and dim knew he had hurt himself. A few seconds later dim’s hand held the horse’s bit in a grasp so strong that the jaws cracked: and they came to a standstill on the edge of a cut-bank. Faintly, from faraway in the badlands, came the hunt- TIIK CHINOOK ing call of a wolf to his mate. Jim leaped from his hors© and caught Madge in his arms, and in the Hood of moonlight which poured over the badlands and the hills and plains that stretched away from them and were lost in a dark line against the clear broad sky, Madge was won back to tin West and Jim.

S you travel on a summer day along the road w hich leads from Easton up through the Basin to Glacier,your attention will he attracted hy a green-and-red something in the distance. If you have talked as I had with the people in Easton before starting on your journey you will recognize it as the modern country school-house of which every individual in .Mountain county is proud. When you draw near and get a close view of this lovely building with its trees, playground, swings, and other apparatus, fifteen miles from a town and three miles from a dwelling, you will he so curious that you will tie your horse and go inside the white picket fence. Your wonder will gradually increase as you come across one thing after another that you never in the world expected to find in such a seemingly out of the way place. The day 1 stopped there, 1 was fortunate enough to meet an aged member of the school board and if you listen 1 will tell you the story he told me in answer to my query about the school house. Some years before, a young man from Indiana had taken up 820 acres of land in the neighborhood. Ilis name was Jack Scott. His happy disposition and extraordinary knowledge of things in general soon won for him the love and respect of the country folk. He knew how to farm and in a comparatively short time his land was making him ample returns for what he put into it. He took a deep interest in everything that was going on and although young he was elected a member of the school hoard, this being considered by the residents t he highest honor that could be bestowed upon a man. This gave him an opportunity which he sought; namely,- his plan for a new school building. He was proud of bis adopted state and wanted to see it have an educational system that would compare favorably with those of the Eastern states. He knew this would not he possible in the little one-room, log shack that now served the purpose of a school house. Ilis plan, however was reject d with the argument that a new luiildug was unnecessary and would be too expensive. In spite of this lie kept on. But bis untiring efforts met with very little success and after three years of patient urging he found himself in practically the same plaee where he had started. One fall the board employed as teacher a graduate of t he state normal college. She was a lively, wide awake girl, enthusiastic about the teaching profession and anxious to make a record for herself and her college. When she heard, shortly after her arrival of Jack's vain struggle, her interest and sympathy were aroused and at the earliest opportunity she told him of her ideas about modern country school houses. They agreed with his and whenever those two met they discussed the great good they would like to do and expected some day to do for the community. She decided to attend the next board meeting. Meanwhile she was content in the Page 50 little log building, which she had made much more habitable by few artistic touches. After the pattern of many country school teachers, she took up 820 acres of land, had a house built on it and lived there. It happened to be next to Jack’s place, so they went to the hoard meeting together. Her visit seemed to have a great effect on the members. For three years Jack had urged his arguments without effect, but when she stood up and stated her business, there was hardly an auditor not in favor of building a new school house. Starting a subscription list, and before they left the place they had almost enough subscribed to cover the entire expense. The teacher and Jack were appointed a committee to prepare a plan of the building and submit it for approval at the next meeting. Thus the ice was broken. The great work was ahead. On an average of three nights a week the teacher and Jack spent their time together planning—planning, il would, seem but to meet another obstacle. For when they submitted the result of their labors they met with only disapproval and ridicule. The teacher undaunted, gave a strong lecture on old-fashioned ideas and made the hearers feel ashamed of their conduct that everyone of them approved the plan. Then they instructed the secretary to order all the material necessary so that work could be begun as soon as school was out. The latter part of April the things started to come. There were bricks, boards, nails, stones, cement, shingles, and everything else one could think of in the line of building material. School closed the fifteenth of May, and on the THE CHINOOK first of June the grading was begun. The teacher did not go home for a vacation and each evening she and .lack went over to see how the work was progressing. They were well satisfied. Hut other folks about were puzzled badly because the windows were not opposite each other and there was no shed over the door to keep the coal in. They managed to make their fears known and the teacher had a hard time persuading them that symmetrical windows and a coal shed are unnecessary. Towards the end of August the structure was completed and everyone for miles around came to see it. They had never seen anything like it before. There was no end of the questions they asked. The cement basement, the plastered walls, the furnace and ventilator, the comfortable seats, the white picket fence and the trees were objects of wonder. The children were anxious for school to open. They could hardly wait till threshing was done. The whole community was enthusiastic about it and spread news of it broadcast. The teacher now decided to go home and spend the last three weeks of vacation with her family. She was tired out and had earned a rest. A week after she left Jack went into town. He did not return and a neighbor who went to town two days later came back with the news that the teacher and Jack were married and had gone on a honey-moon trip. The board had to send at the last minute for a new teacher. They came to the conclusion that the teacher and Jack had planned more than the school building in the evenings they spent together. TIIE CHINOOK Cage 51 For Her Team. Freshman Story. DO wish Kate knew how to play basket hall. 1 don’t see how we shall ever win a game if we do not get some one to take her place as center. 11 we could only get Agnes to play,’’ said the Fieshman captain to one of the players on her team just two weeks before the tournament. “There is no use wishing. We can never get Agnes to play. Just think, only two weeks until the tournament and we haven’t even a sub to take Kate’s place! I have a good notion to drop out myself,” replied the other girl. “If Kate could only make baskets and guard we would he sure of winning a few games. She has the spirit, but. not the strength ever to make a good basket-ball player. Well, we’ll see how she plays tomorrow night. Tell Alice to he sure and be at practice. There goes the dinner bell. Good-night.” And the captain left, thinking seriously nf the situation. The next night found the dressing room crowded with girls getting ready for basket-ball. “The coach wants y«,„ all to be on the floor in three minutes,” said the Senior cup. tain, as sin appeared at the door of the locker room. “All right. We are ready. Come on, kids,” called the girls all at once, as they started for the gymnasium. “Seniors and Freshmen on the floor,” announced the coach, as the girls rushed into the gymnasium. The Seniors had a stronger team than the Freshnum The Senior center was a tall, stout girl. Kate, the Freshman center, was slender and had a very pale face. As the ball was tossed up between tin centers both jumped for the ball, but the Senior caught it. As the Freshman captain had said, Kate had the spirit but not the strength. The girls all played hard, but Kate tried hardest to play a good game, buck seemed to he against her. When the score was read six to two, the Freshman center realized that the tournament games would all read defeats for the Freshies. She knew that the Freshies did not want her to play, but what were they to do? She was the only one they could get. She hurried to her room to tell Joe her roommate of her defeat. “Never mind, Kate,” said Joe, “Von will surely do better in the tournament and perhaps show them all how to play.” But Kate did not do better. The Freshies lost all the games. Of course they all blamed Kate for their defeat. “1 knew we should lose” they all said. “But what could we do? She was the only one we could get to play center.” Kate blamed herself. “1 had no right to play,” she told Joe. “But 1 will do better next year, for I will never stop playing until 1 win for my team.” The basket-ball teams of 1S)11 were again organized and the Sophomore team found Kate a member. Kate had grown taller and was stouter than she had been the year before. Kate was chosen captain of her team. She worked hard and inside of a mouth she was counted one f the best Page 52 THE CHINOOK basket-ball players on the floor. Everyone looked forward to the tournament, the victory in which seemed to lie between the Sophomores and Juniors. The Sophomores won every game they played and the Juniors won all the games except the two they played with the Sophomores. About two weeks after the tournament the coach summoned all the basket-ball players into the gymnasium. He was going to choose six of the best players to play against the champion team. The first name he called was Kate Oliver. The Trent basket-ball team reached Centerville on Fri- day night. The players on the Centerville team was larger than those on the Trent team. The other center was taller than Kate, but Kate was far the better player. Centerville scored five points and Trent made eight points. Kate had made all the points for her team. When the Trent team returned there was a crowd of students at the train to meet them. Everyone was congratulating Kate. Kate was tired and anxious to see Joe. It was late that night when Kate hurried into her room,shouting “() Joe: I have won for my team. A Little Rebel. Preparatory Story by Irina Stone. N E hot, sultry afternoon in February, 11)11 a buzzing of whispering came from the sewing room in the French School in Guadalajara, Mexico. Everyone was restless for alt ho the window was wide open, not a breath of air entered. “Mesdemoiselles, silence!” cried Madame Colette, emphasizing her words by tapping with her thimble on the small table beside her. Aurora Orozco, a pretty, dark-haired girl of seventeen, turned around in her seat, but catching the teacher’s angry glance, her eyes fell and she turned industriously to her work. Again the teachers voice was heard: “Young ladies, we shall say the itosary for the souls of the brave Federal soldiers, who are so valiantly fighting and dying to protect us from the blood-thirsty, heathenish, traitorous revolutionists, the followers of that infidel Made-ro. who has announced that if he becomes president of Mexico, he will drive out all monks and nuns. Aurora, you may begin the prayer!” A deathly silence, the first that afternoon followed. “Aurora, did you hear me?” “Yes, Madame.” “Well, begin then. 'hat’s wrong with you? Won’t you say it?’ “No, M adame.” “Why not? Momlieu, what a girl! Hurry, answer y y me. those valiant Federal “Well, 1 don’t want to pray for soldiers and 1 won’t do it. If I pray for anyone, it 11 lx for THE CHINOOK the Maderistas!” The rest of the class, altlio prefectly willing to pray for anyone the teacher should choose, now chimed in. “That’s right! We’ll pray for Madero or no one!” Madame Colette became so horrified at this, that her sewing almost fell from her hands. “Young ladies, you may all remain here and sew during recess.” At this moment Esperanza Anaya began: “In the name of the Father—” “No, no, and we’ll have no praying this afternoon.” The bell for recess rang, and Madame Colette left the room to attend to the smaller children for a moment. “lne’s Ine’s,” called Aurora in a stage whisper. ‘We’re going out to the Hacienda tonight and 1 want you to ask if you can come along.—Oh, there comes Madame! See you after school.” At that moment Madame Colette returned and after darting an angry look around the class, she sat down and took up her work. After school Aurora and Ine’s immediately went to the home of the latter, which was only a block from the school. lne's strictly speaking, is not a Mexican. Her nationality would he rather hard to determine as her father was born in Switzerland of French parentage; her mother is an Italian; and Ine’s was born in Spain. She has lived in nearly every country of Europe, but most of her life has been spent in Mexico. Brighter and more studious than most of the girls, she is not very pretty, and rather slow and awkward in her movements,—quite a contrast to Aurora, a full-blooded Mexican, graceful and dainty as a fairy, and the prettiest girl in the school. Bright and viva- Page 58 cious,—a leader in all the pranks curried on at school, she is a favorite of all the girls and oddly enough, of the teach ers, too. Obtaining permission from her mother, Ine’s immed lately packed a small handbag, and went home with Aurora. After a ride in a carriage, with coachman and footman all complete for Aurora, as the daughter of one of Mexico’s great lundharons, had everything money could buy, the girls, accompanied by Aurora’s mother and older sister, arrived at the Hacienda. This, like most of the large ranches in this part of Mexico, is a village in itself. There is the home of the master, the quarters of the servants (who are almost the same us feudal serfs), the church, the sugar and corn mills, and hundreds of acres of cultivated land. On one side is the orange grove, oil the other,eucalyptus trees; here,an orchard including banana plants, mango trees, pomegranates, and many other tropical fruits. Much sugar-cane is raised, but, excepting corn, very little grain. Arriving at nine o’clock, supper time, they were welcomed by Aurora’s father and brothers, and by hosts of servants, who hud prepared an elaborate supper for the senora and senoritas. Early next morning the two girls started out on a tour of inspection. They were supposedly under the protection of old Juana, but they managed to lose her during the first half hour. They had reached a field quite a distance from the house when Ine’s sniffing the air, asked Aurora. “What’s that burning? Don’t you smell something?” Following the odor of smoke, they soon came upon a sight that made them both cry out. There, only a few Page 54 yards ahead of them, were ten men with horses, setting lire to a small corn-field. But this was not the worst of it. The wind was blowing in such a direction that the lire would be spread almost immediately to the orange and eucalyptus groves, the most valuable part of the Hacienda. All this the girls saw in an instant, and screamed. The leader started, and looked arounu. “Ah, senoritas, and what are you doing here, pray? 1 fear I shall be forced to detain you a few moments, altho very much against my will.’’ Turning to one of his men, “Here Jose, see to these young ladies, while I light this lire in another place— I am afraid this first lire will not burn fast enough.” .lose led the now thoroughly frightened girls a little aside and tied them together to hinder them from escaping. THE CHINOOK “Oh, if only my father and brothers knew of this,” thought Aurora. Soon they heard the sound of galloping. “Aurora, Aurora,” whispered Ine’s, “see, someone, is coming.—They are runcheros,—you can tell by their clothes.” “No, no,—see their red cravats! They are rurals!— We are saved! We are saved!” Bang!—Bang!—Two of the foragers fell dead. Three of the rurals set out at full speed for the house to warn the inmates of the approaching lire, while the remaining Mad-e,‘istas lied pursued by the other rurals. That night as the two girls were about to go to bed Joe’s wbispeed, “Aurora, will you pray for the Federal soldiers next Part III. THE CHINOOK J’age 55 Pago 56 THE CHINOOK THK CHINOOK l ttge “ ?

Cope, a representative of the Religious Educational Association, for a few days, over half the expenses of the latter heing paid by the college association. Last summer, Miss Edith Browning the president of the association, was sent as a delegate to the Northwestern conference of the Young Women’s Christian Association at Breakers, Washington, where the regular Bible teacher of the Association, Mr. Robert Clark was one of the Bible instructors. All the work of the Association has been diligently carried on. .lust before school closed last June, the annual vesper service was held on the college campus.

Programs are prepared for each meeting, con- sisting of reading and story-telling. The purposes of the League are many. Of course it is educational, but it is also social. It is one more organization to unite the students and increase college spirit. One of the main purposes is to get at literature in its original form, as it came from the people, in the folk stories. The League also gives practice in telling stories. It aims to teach the essentials of a good story and how a story may be adapted for a particular audience or occasion. As teachers, it will help its members to interest children and young people in worthy literature. Ihe final aim is to get at the essence of good literature.

MAY PRICE Alternate Page 74 THE CHINOOK Mothers of Great Men. you were to make a study of the life,—the successes and accomplishments of any great man, how far into his early home life and surroundings would your research carry you? Not very far. Biographers by the score have written what they have chosen to call 'Lives’ of men of note; yet these attempts are seldom complete. For the most part, they consist of a picture of the man as Ids work itself shows him, not the man as lie has become thru an influence which had moulded the nature of the child and directed it into the channels of the right, the noble and the best. I refer to the mother—to her influence over the life of the hoy and the man. What the mt-her gives cannot be limited to what she does consciously and of set purpose. Her influence is of a far wider range. The teaching that a mother may give her child with the conscious desire to edify is not of so lasting, so vital importance as the unconscious training which the child receives in its daily relations with her, the one person who at the time when the soil is still plastic, generous, yielding, may effectively influence the child’s development. By a proper use of her power the mother may encourage and strengthen the promising instincts and tendencies and weaken or destroy the menacing. This task is made easier by the tie of natural affection and sympathy which prompts in the young mind a confidence, a spontaneous trust and a wholesome fear, placing her power to restrain and chasten, to advise and lead beyond rivalry by any external authority. As examples of women who realized the responsibility their motherhood thrust upon them, and who proved abundantly equal to their opportunity, I could cite many names. Some of these, no doubt, would he strangers to you aside from the fact that their sons achieved fame. These happy women for they could not have been otherwise with their secret hopes fulfilled, have passed out of the history which they made. If it is true that “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” then what an immense debt of gratitude does our nation owe to the mother of George Washington. Yet comparatively little is known of Mary Ball beyond the fact of Washington’s deep and tender love for her. Does not the story of the affection between the mother and son, the soldier and statesman, tell of ties made during the boyhood of the “Father of our Country?” Mrs. Mary Washington was widowed when George, her eldest child, was eleven years of age. A double responsibility, the rearing of six children and the managing of her husband’s affairs, was her legacy, hut the mother was able to administer her inheritance. She was a wise, reserved, unselfish, serious woman, inspiring the deepest respect for her desires and commands and yet by her gentleness making obedience a delightful task. With this endowment what wonder that Washington proved himself so eminently fitted for leadership, so thoroughly capable of coping with the enemies of our country during its crises! The bravery, perseverance and resourcefulness of the American woman is again beautifully illustrated in the THE CHINOOK mother of Stonewall Jackson. In reading of the person and deeds of Thomas Jackson, his mother, Julia Neale, is never called to mind. Vet this heroic little woman is worthy of mention in the annuls of our history. Biographers will tell you that Stonewall Jackson was the “son ol a worthless gambler —he was also the son of a brave, strong-minded woman. 'When Stonewall was but three years old his father died leaving Julia Neale and their three helpless chilrden nearly destitute. Reared in luxury and unused to toil, she was left to struggle against the cruel world alone. But, he was brave, steadfast, and determined, and though the little home she strove to save was a poor one, her ceaseless toil brot its reward. Perhaps it was the sight of this saddened, sweet-faced mother in their desolate home,which made Thomas Jackson a quiet, sad-faced boy and a solemn, serious man; perhaps the noble, steadfast example set by the mother in her battle against poverty, made him the “Stonewall of future years. Julia Neale Jackson died while Thomas was but a child, yet his own words bear testimony to the influence of her life. He said, “The wholesome impression of her instructions and prayers and her final triumph over the grave have never been erased from my heart. While Julia Neale was preparing for the world the great Christian soldier, Stonewall Jackson, another noble woman was struggling against circumstances still more cruel. This woman gave to our nation that most wonderful man, Abraham Lincoln. It is unnecessary to describe the surroundings in which his boyhood was spent. Suffice it to say that his father was 1'age 7 ) lazy, improvident, ignorant, vulgar; Iiis home a, miserable hovel. What a soil for the growth and development of a human mind and body! But this wretched home possessed a mother: Nancy Hanks, a woman once bright and handsome, endowed with an intellectual force and refinement which fitted her to adorn a higher sphere; her powers wasted in a life of poverty and squalor. Wasted'?------Possi- bly her sorrows and hardships served to develop her nature more, making her better fitted to mould the life of him who was destined to “a niche in the temple of fame. Though Nancy Hanks died in Araham Lincoln's tenth year he never failed to realize the influence she had upon his life; it was he who said, “1 owe all that 1 am or ever hope to be to my angel mother. There are soldiers, statesmen, reformers, educators and literary men—men who have achieved success and a lasting name, but the fountain-head of their success is seldom appreciated. In the glory of their achievements, the influence—the direct cause—is undervalued or altogether unnoticed. Vet the woman whose ideals of life, sympathy, nobility, love, devotion to duty and perseverance, can find inspiration in the thot that these ideals may some day be reflected,enlarged and strengthened, in the accomplishment of success by a life whose early training had been within her hands. She at least can realize that a high-minded woman's influence is lasting and that after all, as one of the world’s most successful women has very fittingly said, “the happiest women like the happiest nations, leave no history.

Although basket bull did not begin as early as usual this year, there was no jack of enthusiasm in the game, after it was once started. Each class put out its best material, and each player did her best to make hers the winning team. The coaching during the practice games, was done by Miss Herrick, with the assistane of Miss Dunning, and by the beginning of the tournament games, each team had made a noticeable improvement. The Seniors were weak in team work when practice started, but they worked pluckily to overcome this defect, and succeeded in entering the tournament with a smoothly working team. The Juniors, with one exception, were new to the game, and it seemed during practice as if the Junior team could not keep the pace set by the other teams. When the tournament began, however, they surprised every one with their spirited playing. Although they lost game after game, they took defeat as only true sports can, making their opponents feel that the victory was hard won, and that good losers are sometimes to be as much admired as good winners. The Freshman were swift players and excellent in team work. Each player knew and played her part, and before the astonished audience would know what was happening the ball would be quickly passed the length of the hall to the Freshmen basket. They kept this splendid playing up throughout the tournament. The Preps are the last to be taken up, but they are by no means the least. Marquerite Pendergast was to be found wherever the ball was, and leaving her hands it always went to the basket. Agnes Sweeney was always at her basket and every time the ball reached her hands she made two points for her team. The guards never lost sight of their opposing forwards, while the center was everywhere always ready to receive the ball from the guards and pass it the forwards. Each class in the College loyally supported its team, a,,d displayed much ingenuity in devising yells. Any Peaceful citizen accidently strolling into the gymnasium during one of these games, would have thought he was a,Pong savages instead of would-be schoolma’ams. Page 84 THE CHINOOK Seniors.

Under tin directum of Miss Dunning there was organ ized January II, 1012, a physical culture class for teachers. As the benefit of physical training to the Normal students were so obvious, many of the teachers of the training school and some of the ladies of the city thought they also would take some form of physical exercise. Panics occurred in the dry goods stores by their clamor for gymnasium suit patterns and material. Those who failed to get what they wanted borrowed or begged suits of various descriptions and reported ready for work. They persevered uncomplainingly in all the intricate steps of dancing and are now much pleased by the decided improvement in gracefulness. The Tennis Club. I lie Tennis (Mub reorganized in the autumn of 11)11. Besides having charge of tennis it also participates in social all air and is one of the largest and most active of all organizations in the college. This year two large parties were given under its auspices; one, during the autumn quarter at which all college members were entertained and one, in the spring, for the club only. This association assists in keeping the tennis courts in good condition and prescribes rules lor the use of them. Either the latter part of this year or the first of next, it will arrange for an interclass tournament. Autumn and Winter Quarter.

By eight-thirty two hay racks and a tally-ho loaded with gay spirited students, a tally-ho in which the faculty sat complacently enjoying the scenery, several equestrians, and last, a commissary loaded with eatables were on the way to Sheep Canyon. I'pon arriving at their destination, most of the happy “goers” scattered themselves about over the mountain, wh ile the Seniors, directed by Miss Bettes and Mr. Mosher, l age 1)1 prepared the dinner. The afternoon was spent in climbing the neighboring hills or lounging and chatting about the camp. One party of climbers succeeded in reaching the ‘Rye Patch,’ an interesting spot, from which they returned weary but trophy laden. One of the faculty, a noted pedestrian, arrived on the scene just in time to partake of the evening lunch. The citizens of Dillon were not denied their annual treat of college yells, when the wagons at the close of the return trip, were driven about the city streets.
