Mentor Class! notes “One by one tliy duties wait tliee; Let thy whole strength go to each, Let no future dreams elate thee, Learn thou first what each can teach.” It is with a great deal of excitement and not a little shaking of the knees, that wo, the Senior Glass, are preparing to make our initial bow to the public. Perhaps the fact that we will soon be graduated means nothing to yon. But for us it means four years of persistent, “digging,” four years of preparation and perseverance, four years crowded full of happy, never-to- be-forgotten memories. And the 1 brightest memories are those of Senior days. At our first meeting an election of officers was held, Mildred Smith was elected president; Gaylord Upington, vice president; Bruce Glingan, secretary and treasurer; Lois Porter, Eh Kah Xam reporter. Several dances and parties have been given by the Seniors, and have been great successes such as only Senior entertainments can be. Til athletics we have done nobly, receiving the girls 5 championship in basketball, and winning the interclass track meet. At all times the class spirit has been loyal and a great deal of interest has been taken in all events. Of course we have studied a little now and then to keep up appearances hut our greatest work in the literary line is centered in the Senior play. The characters are a good representation of the ability of the class and we expect the play to be the crowning success of our high school life. So watch for the cardboards hearing the inscription, “Manoeuvres of Jane,” and note the date. 1 hen be sure and come so that you may have a lasting impression of the real worth of the class of 1015, ‘parting € hz to tfje ©nbmlasftmen” Our dearest children, We have no song to sing you, No coyote could yell in the middle of the day. But ' ere we leave you A bit of advice well give you. Don ' t sit around and play. Be good, dear children, And let who will, throw notes and whisper. Be kind to your teachers. Don’t bore them all day long. And when at last you chance to be great Seniors, Like ours, your life will be as care free as the song. V ' . !§! ' . . ROYAL BLL . . ®tje Senior Jlai For many months the Seniors have been discussing the Senior Play and each one has been living in hopes tlmt he might have a hand in the re¬ production Now, the play lias been chosen and also the east The play, “The Manoeuvres of Jane,” is a four-get comedy, full of action and color and dealing with English life Two tryouts, one for the girls and one for the boys, were held for the purpose of choosing the cast The characters who were finally selected were chosen entirely upon their own worth and it is believed that the play will be a huge success The cast is as follows: Jane N angle.,.

It- doesn’t seem possible, but Ii is fifty years since I, too, was graduated from the Walla Walla High School.” “Tell me something of your high school days, Grandpa. School life must have changed considerably in fifty years.” “Yes, it has. Many studies which we were required to take are not taught any more. Yon also have finer buildings and better equipment now than we had them Why, one year we were so crowded that portable buildings were placed upon the campus for extra class rooms. Almost everything about the old school has improved, but the training given even then was excellent. “1 remember well the day onr class, the class of 7 15, entered high school for the first time. We were all timid and bashful and when we walked into the Assembly Hall we were greeted with: Hee, Haw, Haw, Hee, Haw, Haw, Freshmen want their Ma, Ma, Mai “Then there was much cheering and clapping on the part of the upper¬ classmen, all of which added to our embarrassment. When the confusion sub¬ sided, the principal patiently explained to us the mysteries of courses, periods, and schedules. We had some difficulty finding our way about the school those first few days, but after a time we were just as much at home as the Seniors. “Our new lessons were quite different from those we had studied in the grades. Algebra, and Latin too, were pretty hard for some of the pupils. Every morning in our Algebra class, Miss Sykes would ask, Glow many of you have all the work this morning?’ but it was very seldom that we were all able to stand up when this question was asked. “About the middle of October a class meeting was called by our presi¬ dent, Gaylord Upington, and we made plans for our first social affair. It was to be a Hallowe’en masquerade party in the gymnasium. We were warned to keep our plans secret for fear of the Sophomores, Acting upon Miss Blyrm’s advice, we all met at the home of one of the girls and went to the party in a body. Everyone wore a costume and a mask and we bad a great deal of fun. Several of the boys also gave a minstrel show which added to the pleasure of the evening But we had our troubles, too Several members of the class were kidnapped, and we had a fight at the gym door with some boisterous Sophs who tried to break into our party We engaged in very few activities while Freshmen, but studied hard and concerned ourselves chiefly with the passing of our examinations, The next fall we returned as full-fledged Sophomores, eager to play tricks on the entering Freshmen and to impress them with our superior wis¬ dom At our first meeting of the year, we elected Beth Starr, president; Mildred Smith, vice president; and Walter Berney, secretary-treasurer Caesar and Plane Geometry were included in our course for that year, so we had to burn ' midnight oil ' quite frequently As Sophs, we began to take more of an interest in the school activities, especially in athletics The three stars of our football team, Cowan, Crain and Magnum, were members of our class. Our class also made a creditable showing in the interclass track meet that year We put up a hard fight for first place, but the Juniors succeeded in crowding us out by a few points “The year slipped away so quickly that before we realized it, we were Sophomores no longer, but had become Juniors Our officers that year were: Fay Rhodes, president; Gladys Kerrick, vice president; Gaylord Fpiiigton, secretary-treasurerj and Beth Starr, Eh Kali Xam reporter As Juniors, we were at the head of everything Juniors were prominent in athletics, in the glee clubs, in the Alpha Gamma Society, and in the House of Representatives In the month of April, the class gave the customary ‘Proud to the Seniors In May we had a ‘scrap’ with them, for they had become quite overbearing as Commencement time drew near We could not stand for this so we nailed our class flag to the flag pole as a symbol of our superiority. By Com¬ mencement time, however, the Seniors were subdued and sued for peace, so we graciously assisted in the various activities connoted with graduation. “Finally came the last and the best-—our Senior year We elected Mil¬ dred Smith for our Senior president; Gaylord Fpington, vice president; Bruce 01 ingan, secretary-treasurer; and Lois Porter, Eh Kali Nam reporter. For our class emblem we all bought rings with the letters AY, AY. 11. S. 1915 embossed upon them. We also adopted a class motto—-Qui non profiat, deficit’ which means Tie who does not advance, goes backward J and a class flower, the cream rose “As usual our class hacked the High school activities, showing more en¬ thusiasm than any of the others Every member bought a student ticket and subscribed to the Junior Annual. The success of our 1914 football team was due in a large measure to the Seniors who played upon it. Five members of the Inland Empire championship team—Cowan, Magnum, Cram, Clark and Bean—belonged to the class of 7 15. The two forwards on our basketball team, Selmubor and Magnum were also Seniors. And so it was in track. Kiiickeloe, Barrett, Magnum, and Cram, all Seniors, won most of our points in the various track meets. In interclass contests wo were also very success¬ ful, winning the track meet, girls’ basketball and the oratorial contest. The last two months of our Senior year were very busy ones. Plans were made for the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises and we had to practice hard for our Senior Play. Finally came Commencement week. On the sixth of June the Baccalaureate services were held, on the ninth we gave our play, The Manoeuvres of Jane and on the tenth came the graduating exercises proper, Fhe next evening we were received and banqueted by the alumni association. Wo have always been proud to call ourselves alumni of the Walla Walla High School, and especially proud of the fact that we were members of the famous class of nineteen fifteen.” £las pallot Best Student (girl).... .Mildred Smith Best Student (boy)...Carl Shreiber Class Dude.., Paul Kent Class Thinker..Bessie Littlejohn Class u Allegro”. .Bruce Clingan Class Pigmy....Helen Odell Class Humorist. ..

And they did call upon one who was in their midst, saying, Tell us, 0 Prophet mighty in wisdom, thou who canst see even unto the end of the flag pole, tell us it our youthful genius, our bright and wonderful ability, shall be scattered by the hand of the teachers who have descended upon us.” And the one who was in their midst did rise up before them and in a voice of glad accord did make answer, u O Seniors, children of the Walla Wallans, great shall be thy favor in the eyes of the kingdom and thou shall become the salt of the earth. For thou, 0 Mildred Smith, president of the Seniors, shalt dwell in marble halls and of spotless linen shalt thy apparel be And windows and dishes shalt thou wash and a maid unto Lady Elsie Lane, authoress, shalt thou he. And thou, 0 Gaylord Gpington. vice president of the trihe of the Seniors, thou, the famous spar her” of days of 1915, shalt prosper in thy good work and a mo term an on the in ter urban between Walla Walla and Dixie shalt thou become, ‘Thou.

Here shalt thou meet and renew thy acquaintance with Emmy Hermanson and Gladys Kerriclt, New York milliners, who go to Africa to gather trimmings for their large stock of hats. “Thou, O Yolande Shower man, shalt soon come into thy own. On the police force of Denver shall thou find thy station in life and dreaded shalt be thy foot falls and club-falls, “In High School hast thou been known as a good catch, 0 Carl Schreiber; so to Alaska shall thou journey and in the salmon business shalt thou add to the reputation of thy youth. “Thou, 0 Beth Starr and thou, O Mildred Sexton, shalt in humble cottages dwell and in the humble art of raising turkeys shalt thou be engaged.

But from that day unto this and hence forward even forever more, hast remained the memory of the tribe of the Seniors of 1915 and great has been their worth in the United Kingdom of the World. ROYAL $3tt ©be to 1915 We’ll always remember, at the head of our class Our pretty girl president, who ne’er failed to pass. She was right there in athletics, dramatics, and all; In her studies she ne’er below ninety did fall. We can ' t speak of Mildred, without thinking of Beth, And I’d say (if I lisped) that we like her no “leth”; She Is short, plump, and jolly—but that doesn ' t debar Her from filling her place—in being a Starr, Gaylord’s our songster—he sings like a bird, Of his hit in the minstrel you ' ve surely all heard; He ' s fond of the girls—but where is there one Who’s not proud to be seen with Gaylord Upington? We are proud to say, as our members we tell. That we have in our midst prim Miss Annabel; She studies and studies—to her Latin’s no fake, And we know that a mighty fine teacher she’ll make. And there is a boy who is very sedate, I ' ll bet that you find him up studying late; Though the lesson be hard, discouragement bringing, Bruce won’t give it up—you find him still “Clingaii.” Gladys, who played in the famous French play, Did carry things off in a very fine way; She puzzled the audience— Who is it?” “Look quick And I ' m sure you will find it is Gladys Kerriclc.” Fay Rhodes we must think to mention right here Or Gladys and Fay would not like it—we fear; In the art of debate he always did shine. And in talk on democracy” he sure leads the line. There’s Viva Wellman, blond and fair; With rosy cheeks and golden hair; She’s a student in Latin and Domestic Art, As a model housekeeper she’ll e ' er do her part. Tn speaking of Latin we think of the play, And of what Bessie Littlejohn had to say; If ever a wedding should occur in Rome, With Bessie at “center,” she’ll he right at home. There’s Lydia who remembers prose by the yard, She’s a dandy when German lessons are hard; She is quiet, and studious, but jolly “no end ”; We can never forget such a very good friend. Johnnie Paul Kent, Jr., is there like a duck. Peddling, as always, some old line of truck. But since 1912, we ' ve all called him Nellie.” Just why this name—lie made me “no tell-ee.” Rah I Rah .! Rah! Basketball! Meet our famous quintet— The five best girl players in the Northwest, you bet! There’s Sue—lie ' s our center and a good one, all right. When she gets the ball she can stick to it tight. And Jessie and Bertha we can ' t separate. They ' re the guards who have kept us from many a fate. And Jennie’s our sub—an all-around girl,— She is sweet and coquettish with her quaint little curl; And Ruth is the last—but far from the least For she ' s the best forward from the West to the East, But when we hear the bugle call (and it creates great sensation!) We have no need to ask—for we know it h s Evereli Cation. This time last year the call we heard to Mildred sounded sweet; But now it’s even still more plaintive for it ' s calling Marguerite. There ' s Thomas Beson Romine, our only real blonde The hoy of whom the girls and teachers are very, very fond; In his studies he always had a “hankerin ' ” after E’s, But of late, in another line, lie’s contented with three “G ' s,” Our most artistic girl we know to be Grace G. Green On our Eh Kah Nam covers her pictures may be seen; As a rule a blonde like Grace prefers one that’s a brunette, But, strange to say, on a decided blond we find ber head is set. MyJ but Gladys was gymnastic, can speak fit for election; And that car they call a “Ford,” she drives it to perfection; She went on an English picnic once and now her friends recall That in trying to cross the river—she from a log did fall. If you ever saw a boy whom every one called “Brick,” You didn ' t have to glance twice to find that he’s no “stick.” Walter was a football hero and you never caught him ‘pikinV We ' ve known him well for six long years, and that is why we like ’im. Oh! Alice Chapin we love to meet, Such a trim little creature so small and so neat. Never mind, Alice if you’re sometimes called “slow,” You ' re bound to “get there” at last you know. Will Hooper! he was the ladies’ man in “bugology at the top; And when it came to dancing, you ' d think he ' d never stop; And it always will seem strange to me, that such a graceful chap Should fall one day and bump his head. It was a sad mishap! There is a girl you oft have seen, The curly haired and sweet Irene. She’s fine on the stage in all of our plays; We’re proud of her and her charming ways. And Yolande, who is fond of labor and toil, When she graduates will “go back to the soil ; She ' s as gay and jolly as a girl can be; She ' ll go laughing through life—and succeed—you’ll all see. ROYA .. BLUE Then among the athletes, we find Lester—no joke, Although, they think at him, their tun they can poke; A small wreath of glory he ' s won, and he ' ll wear it And the reason they laugh is—they know he will Barrett If anyone wants some artistic playing. Just call on Buelali—I d be saying; And there is one thing —(but perhaps you know) She’s fond of a “tailor by the name of Joe. The best quarterback we ever have seen, Is none but the youth we all call Bean. He v r orks very hard to judge by his hooks, But working can ' t seem to hurt his good looks. Since there’s nothing to lose—and something to gain, I ' ll try writing a verse about Elsie Lane; In her own quiet way she has won every heart And from our memory she ' ll never depart. But tell me, Oh! tell me, where under the sun I ' ll find an all-around athlete like Harry Magrimn? And though Brick w as dubious about Mac ' s work, Miss Jessup declared that he never did shirk. There is one little girl who is modest and demure, Who, of her answers in class; is never quite sure; And if ever a girl with Natalie is seen, You may make up your mind that it is Maude Keen. Natalie—she is quite tall; And sometimes in her grades does fall; But nevertheless we’ll all agree That no one can replace Natalie. Lest my muse may depart—and it’s sure on the “dwindle” I must not leave out our schoolmate, Homer Kendall. We’ve all tried our smiles—but Sue says it ' s no use, For he left his heart in sunny Palouse. There is another girl in our class, and she is wonderous wise Her name is Frankie Kaseburg, whom we sometimes call “Fair Eyes ; And to those who know her—she is a friend in ten You may see her at noon-time strolling with “Ben,’ Ye knight of the bleached hair, 1 say, how are you to fare? Quoth Brooks Sweeney, “I don ' t much care, A farmer or a millionaire! And here’s to dear old Fuzzy l Much laughing gas has she; And she is always buzzy 1 As “buzzy” as a bee. She is there on the piano, When it comes to playing rags; By the way, her name is Echo, And she never, never brags. MOYj .. In talking about the others, we have not mentioned Lyle; But when it comes to short hand—he’s right there, “I should smile And If ever you want a stenographer to write the things you say. Just ask for Lyle Burdin, for he’s an ‘ 0 G. A ’ If you should visit a picture show. In about a year or more; Perhaps you’d see someone you know. With name and fame galore. She intends to join an Essanay, With Charley Chap to work; And they will see, as we have seen, That Myrl is no shirk. In the Senior German class, a little Dutch boy you’ll find, And when Miss Allen calls on him, he’s just one day behind. I’m sure you know his name is Georgie Buehler, But he’d better find another way, for that will never Poorer, There’s another little lassie, Who is really very classy; Do” is the name we call her here And we agree that she’s a dear; From her eyes so bright and snappy, We have come to call her Happy. Derotha Starrett’s her real name. And w T e think that she ' s some dame. Our President Cram is a wonderful man! The hundred yard dash in ten seconds he ran! He’s a football player of great renown; As a speaker he has no peer in town. Though in studies ha finds it hard to pass, He ' s a valuable aid to the Senior class. Here ' s another George, our football guard, In study and play he always works hard; At banquets, Clark always has something to say, But he shyly keeps out of every girl’s way. Lois Porter with her dear eyes of brown, Always smiles—is never known to frown; In English her themes are always grand. But for extemporaneous speaking she refuses to stand. Though in Europe there is conflict. And the French” fight like the Dutch; Ethel is a peace promoter. For she always acts as such. The village wit, a comical boy. Is our Musical (?) Senior—Harper Joy. As a vaudeville star, he has no peer; He hammers his drum, till you can’t hear. And as leader of the High School band, His fame has spread throughout the land. In Miss Goodrich’s room—if you ever go there, ..... sate. ROYAL BLUE You will always find an inseparable pair. For Carl and Louisa are always together, And, we fear they discuss more tilings than the weather. Louisa ' s ambition—a real suffragette, For Carl (it is said) is learning to set The table, and to cook the goodies to eat, While she, with her sister, is tramping the street. And then there is Alice Agan— The shark of short hand class; She’ll be a great stenographer, Whom no one can surpass. Some of the Seniors may be quite green. But wbo ' d dare say that about Stuart Dean? He ' s had years of school work, so I ' d surmise. That of all the rest he ' d be most wise. On one girl much time we could spend, But if we did we never could end; For we ' d never cease to tell out loud. Of the charms and the graces of Helen McLeod. When any of us with loads of work are laden, We can fell free to ask for help from Harold Hayden; For there ' s no one in school as good and kind And who is less to conversation inclined. Of country girls we’ve heard it said, Here conies the bashful country maid. But this statement we must mend, When speaking of Miss Esther Yeend. Ruth may sometime be a preacher Though she ' s better than that now; For she boasts of being a Bishop, By no degree I could endow. And then there is Winnie, with such a bright mind, Although upon Civics she seems not inclined; But she makes it all up In her English class, For without any failure, she always did pass. One of the King Cole ' s fiddlers three, Violinist, Howard Chapman, might easily be; And out in the world we can well expect That he ' ll make his mark as an architect Emma Cordiner is a shark, In that we stand as one; When she can ' t do the problems hard. We know they can ' t be done. When speaking of “sharks ' there ' s Effle Gallaher, Who simply learns German by heart, And who writes English themes, by stacks and reams, That interest from finish to start. Here is a grave and decorous young man; He’s as wise as liis great namesake; On the board of control Schnassee studies each plan; A “lead” in the play of life hell take. Helen ' s a bright little Senior girl, ever happy, neat and sweet; For spirit and stick-to-itivness, she’s mighty hard to beat, From her practice on the English class, you could most plainly see That Helen Odell, a teacher famed, ere many years will be. Every school must have a “sexton,” Curs is Mildred, graceful, tall; And we can remember Mildred As the nicest of us all. There is a boy in our class whom we are proud to claim; He is very studious—Kenneth Pierce is his name He ' s won fame in speaking and( perhaps you don’t know it). But he is quite as famous in the role of a poet If we might gaze on a certain girl’s card We’d find, that for her, some studies were hard; However, this girl is full of fun; I mean, of course, Emmy Herman son. Kincheloe’s the boy with the funny mind, And a funny laugh and grin. But in the hard, long-distant runs Ray seldom fails to win One morning on entering the assembly hall, I heard a voice light a nightingale ' s call; And, looking up, it was easy to see That the voice belonged to our song-bird, Lucie. In English classes I know a maid, Who is wise to all the turns; She seems to know most everything Of the “Life of Bobby Burns.” And when it comes to waltzing, She certainly is right there; At the “Foxtrot” and the “Grapevine,” With Grace none can compare. In this wonderful class, we cannot claim. That we have poets of world-wide fame; We haven’t a Burns—or one in his station, But we have a Gall a her, Rhodes, Pierce and Cation; Then there are others who aren’t so shoddy, They are Nichols, Odell and Roddy. But if being poets is not our fate Please let us know, ere it is too late At least we have done the best we could, And if you aren’t pleased—just think it is good!

AUGUST BADE. 4 IB Mentor Class Potts BY HELEN MILLER During the past few years the need of having a mid-year graduating class has been felt. In all up-to-date high schools the mid-year classes are permitted to hold regular graduation exercises. Since Walla Walla High School has decided to be one of the best and most modern high schools in the Northwest, we, as a class, object to being left in the rear and ask that we may have a graduation of our. own. 1 ho class of 1915 1-2, not being a slow moving body, held a meeting early in the semester. At this meeting we organized as a class and elected officers. The officers elected were as follows: ZD A SMALLEY.P SiDE NT ANNE YENNEY - Vick President ELYNORE SWEENEY - Secretary and Treasurer THOMAS PAUL - - En Kah Nam; Reporter HELEN MILLER, - Annual Reporter At a meeting held later we decided not to enter contests as a class, but co-operate with the class of 1915. iflp Class There have been other classes, It may be, Made up of lads or lasses Of degree; Which make a strong contention That they deserve some mention, But it meets with strong dissension Here, from me! Not one of them is fit for Naming here; They needn ' t think they’re it, for They are queer. We’re the only class that ever Welded bonds that cannot sever, Certain to endure for ever And a year. We’ve the finest and the brightest That there are, The loveliest and rightest Near or far; We all are brave and witty, Good locking, if not pretty— We’re the brightest in the city, Each a star, —Oliver Maggie. The mid-year Senior Class is seriously ca sitiering the subject of a class emblem and expect to have it chosen before the end of the school year. Whether we choose a ring or a pin as onr emblem, we know that it will be one which will command the respect and admiration of all. ZOA SMALLEY “Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low—ail excellent thing in a woman ” ANNE YENHEY Lively and ardent, frank and kind.” THOMAS PAUL “If perseverance be 111 e l ey to success, he will unlock the door ” ELYNORE SWEENEY Ne’er did Grecian chisel trace A nymph, a maid, or a grace, Of finer form or lovelier face!” HELEN MILLER a mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent ’ ANNA WILKIN SON T-Ier pleasures are in the happiness of others ' WALLACE MAHAN “In mathematics he was greater Than Tycho Brake, or Erra Pater HENRY BAKER ' That which he does, he does with all his might ' BONNIE BAIRD She is a winsome wee thing.

At the first meeting of the Juniors held September 211, the following officers were elected: I ESSE CUNDIFF - President CECIL McKINNEY - - - Vice President CLARENCE KIM HALL - Secretary and Treasurer LEONA HEWITT - - Ei-i Kah Nam Reporter PRISCILLA TAYLOR - - - Annual Reporter RUTH HOWARD and WALLACE MAHAN Inter-class Council Representatives T|b intordass contest for the silver loving cup has not yet been decided, but the Juniors stand a good chance of winning. One of the events that started ns out right was basketball, in which the boys were the champions, though the girls lost in spite of hard work: [n the declamation contest the class was well represented by Margaret Larue and Roy Gill eland. The ticket selling contest was certainly a success for the Juniors, as they took second place. In basketball and cross country run, both Junior teams were defeated by the Freshmen in spite of excellent work. The girls had a fine town hall team and made a good showing in the class games. If the Jimiors do not win the cup, we have reason to be proud of the showing our class has made. To judge from the spirit that the class showed in these excellent events, their motto might have been, as Tennyson so well expressed it, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” The honor of publishing the “Annual” or “The Royal Blue” was con¬ ferred on the Junior class, by the school. The class hopes to publish a paper of which the High School will be proud. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at the gymnasium with a carnival in the first semester. The vaudeville shows, booths, and music of the orchestra, furnished the amusement of the evening. The Juniors were also entertained by the different classes with many delightful dances during the year, includ¬ ing the two general High School dances. The longTooked-for Prom” came at last. The hall, elaborately deco¬ rated with Junior colors, crimson and white, and with Indian blankets, was the scene of a happy time for the Juniors and their guests. TTow that the From” is over, we begin to realize that soon we will he Seniors. Although we are anxious to graduate and to begin the serious work of life, we are glad, after all, that we have one more year to work together as a class.

RALPH CORDINER - President SELKIRK NORTON - - - Vice President CARL FIX - Secretary-Treasurer GLADYS JOHNSON - - - Class Editor SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE CLASS COUNCIL - Kenneth Williams, Faye Miller This your lias boon an interesting one in the history of the school because of the great number of class activities and the enthusiasm and loyalty dis¬ played by the students. It. is needless to say that the Sophomores have been the leading class in most of these activities and have shown their usual class spirit. Besides having players on the various first teams, we have had strong teams for the interclass events. In most of the events we have won second or third place. This was large¬ ly due to the sympathy felt on the part of the Sophomores for the Juniors and Seniors. The Senior class will not he here next year and it would be very in¬ considerate not to allow them to have first place in a few things. The Juniors, too, arc not to be with us long, and ought to be allowed to win some of the time. As the points now stand, the Sophomores arc tied with the Juniors for first place, and only time will tell what the final result will be. The interclass ticket contest was easily won by the Sophomores, though we do not have the hugest class in school. The members of 1 the class do not take for themselves the honor won, but give all credit to Kenneth AVilliMus, who has such a gift of “gab” and the ability to extort money from the pocket- books of the unfortunate public. In the declamation contest, Selkirk Norton, although ranking with Lin- coin as an orator, was unfortunate enough to be lowered to Hie degree of sec¬ ond honor. The other speaker for the Sophomore class was Gladys Johnson, who recited very well and showed mood) ability, winning third place. Beside taking part ill athletics, the Sophomore class opened I lie social activities by giving a Hallowe’en party On Friday, November tile sixth, to the Freshmen. The gymnasium was arranged with booths on each side, in imita¬ tion of a country fair. All guests came dressed hi old clothes, ready for an uproari onsly good t 11 ne, Later the hrosliinen returned the compliment by giving a party to the Sophomores in February This entertainment was conducted in the form of a track meet 1 he gymnasium was divided into sections, each representing a college. The hammer throw, an event in which girls drove nails, was much more interesting than the real event would have been. The standing broad jump was replaced by the standing “bn aid-grin Mr. Jones easily won first place in this event 1 he Sophomores gave their class dance on February the thirteenth. It was well attended by the other classes of the school The Sophomores were also guests at the dance? given by the other classes and committees. A picnic is to be given in the near future. It will probably be held at Wiekersham, and it is hoped that all Sophomores will attend. We, because of our superior intelligence, considered it very appropriate to choose a Latin motto, which runs thus: “Veninvus, vidimus, vicivius” But for the benefit of the other classes we will translate it,—“We came, we saw. we conquered, .May the spirit of conquering go with the class through the next two years, even to our last day in school. ’17 Jfregfjmatt Class i otes BY MALCOLM B ROD IE At the first meeting at the class last September, the following officers were elected: HERBERT CLARK - President ALICE SUTTNER - - - Vice President KATHERINE BOARDMAN - Si; cretarv-Tkkasurer HARRIS KEELAN - Eh Kai-i Nam Reporter On account of the changing classes in February, the Freshmen elected now officers. After much ballot casting, the class chose the following to serve them for the second semester: ✓ BURKS SUMMERS - President MARY YENNEY - - - Secretary-Treasurer KATHERINE BOARDMAN - Eh Kah Nam Reporter We are also represented in the Class Council by Lena Youdovitch and James McBferny, The year 1915 has been an eventful year for the Freshman class. First of all, we have entered High School, the place we have looked at so longingly for years. Though we have found there more work than we expected, wo have enjoyed immensely our new surroundings and have managed to have our proper allowance of fun. To accommodate us, flic School Board felt it necell sary to build some more class rooms, hence the beautiful additions between the gymnasium and the main building. In athletics we made our first mark. Besides having players on all the first teams, we have had good class teams of our own. Of course, we did not expect to win first place in many of the inter class contests, as we are too young and inexperienced, yet we did win first place in the cross-country run, in girls 1 town ball, and in the baseball series, and no lower than fourth place in any of the other events. Along intellectual lines, our class is at its best, for Mary Yenney won first place in the Declamation contest, and Katherine Boardman has won the highest average in all subjects, of any student in school. In addition to this the ma¬ jority of the students having an average of 95 per cent, and over, are Fresh¬ men. There seems to be no way to account for this phenomenon unless we say that it is because we are favorites with the teachers who like us for our cute sayings and for our good looks. . ROY J .Jl .. BLUJE ,. t . 4 ;|!||. wiSrVte. ROYAL . BLUE However, we are not “digs,” for wo, manage to have a good time wherever we go. If we do not get it in the study hall with paper wads, we get it in the gymnasium at parties and dances. Though we have not given any dances of our own, we have been invited to those given by the other classes. If yon will observe, you will see that not all those bashfully standing outside the door, are Freshmen. We are courageous, and regardless of slippery cornmeal and blis¬ tered feet, we are fast learning to dance like our older brothers and sisters. The Sophomores entertaine d us with a “Hard Times” party in October. Judging from the noise and the cider that was spilled on the floor, we thought it was more like a “Good Times” than a “Hard Times” party. Next year we hope we can give the incoming Freshmen as good a time as we had. Tatei, in helnuary, we entertained the Sophomores tn the gymnasium at an intercollegiate track meet. We were all divided into colleges and con¬ tested in different events. A “High Jump” for a doughnut may bo as good exercise as a real high jump and is often more entertaining. Athletes arc sup¬ posed to he careful about what they eat, but an exception was made that eve¬ ning and no limit was put as to the {Mount of ice cream and cake the “said athletes” might eat. Last, but not least was the picnic held April 24 at Blue Creek. About seventy-five of us, ably chaperoned, spent a delightful day in the woods and hills. It you should ask any of ns what we enjoy e.d most, we might reply, boiled eggs” or “beans.” ■Much of onr success this year has been dile to the good work of our class teachers, Miss Paddock and Mr. Carpenter, and to them we wish to express onr appreciation. There are only a. few weeks more of school and, as there are no more Final Exams,” we all expect to be Sophomores, 5d, Here ' s to the class of nineteen eighteen, Long may its memory be fresh and green. ilteinberai 3fnter-CIa3£ Council SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES Glenn Bean Susie Crawford JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES Wallace Maiian Ruth Howard SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVES Ken net h W illiam s Fay Miller FRESHMAN REPRESENTATIVES James McNerney Lena Youdavitch 3iliter Class actibttics HAROLD CONDIT On September 30, at a meeting of the Inter-Claa Council, a compact be¬ tween classes of the school was drawn up.

The Seniors played the Juniors in the first round of the great battle for inti.r- class supremacy.

Mabel Gross The championship for girls basketball was decided -Friday, December 11 , when the Senior and Sophomore teams struggled for first place. The Seniors won after a fiercely contested game. This made the Seniors winners of the first inter-class activity, IBopg’ paskettmll Basketball has always been one of the features of the Walla Walla High School, so a great deal of class rivalry was evident before the inter-class series. For two or three weeks before the games, all of the classes had a large squad of men out for practice every night, so, by the time of the games, each team was in the pink of condition for the struggle which was to decide the supremacy in this branch of athletics between the classes. A second series of games were also arranged for. But, because of the lateness of the season and because of the other activities, this second series was voted out by the Student Body. On Monday, December 7 , the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a large score. The Juniors took the Sophomores into camp to the tune of 14 to 12, on Wednesday December 0. Oil Friday, December 11, the Juniors and Seniors met before a packed house, to decide the championship of the school. After the final whistle, the score stood 18 to 12 in favor in the Juniors, Because of playing an ineligible man, the Juniors forfeited five points, which left the final score 13 to 12. The Juniors wore then champions of the school. ticket Celling Content It was decided by the school and Iuter-CIass Council to make the selling of the student tickets for the spring semester an inter-class activity, which should count on a par with the other activities. The class turning in the most money, was to have the first place, the next, second place, and so on. Of course, as in all our other activities, this contest was a success. Great excite¬ ment marked the progress of the contest, especially when a Senior was caught in the act of “fleecing” a Freshman. After a heated debate upon the plat¬ form before Assembly, by the members of the Council, it was decided that it was the Freshman’s own lookout whether he got “fleeced” or not. The final count showed the Sophomores first, the Juniors second, the Freshmen third, and the Seniors fourth. UnterClaste Oratorical Content This phase of the Inter-Class contests took place in the auditorium Friday, March 12. The Girls’ Glee Club rendered an opening selection, which was followed by the Oratorical contest for boys. The selections chosen were all good and were delivered in excellent form. George Oram, a Senior, who was awarded first place, spoke on “What a College Education Should Give.” Kirk Norton delivered “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address” and won second place for the Sophomores Hoy Gill eland, a Junior, was chosen as third; his speech was “Abraham Lincoln;” The fourth place was won by Clyde Morrow of the Freshman class. His subject was “Red Jacket on the Religion of the White Man and the Red.” This contest was followed by the Dramatic contest for girH Highest honors were awarded to Mary Yenney of the Freshman class. Her topic was the “Buggies Family.” The Seniors took second place in this when Gladys Gose delivered the selection “The Little God and Dicky,” The Sophomore speaker was Gladys Johnson, She was chosen third best upon giving “The Lady Across the Aisle.” Fourth place was awarded to the Juniors when Margaret Larue gave “Her Letter,” During the intermission between the two contests, Lucie Magallon rendered a vocal solo The last contest was followed by a selection given by the Girls’ Glee Club, 3fnter=Clag Crofi Countrp 3 ace It was decided by the Council to hold a cross-country relay race as one of the regular Inter-Class activities. This race was run from Dixie to Walla Walla, a distance of ten miles. Each team consisted of five men, each man to run two miles, the race to finish inside of tlic High School yard A great deal of spirit was demonstrated during the race. Automobiles lined the road nearly the full length of the course It could he seen from the first that it was a race between the Freshmen and the Juniors, These two teams ran neck and neck lip to the last hundred yards, when Kincheloe, of the Freshmen team, spurted up and won by a margin of a few feet The race was very interestmg to watch, and was perhaps one of the best contests during the year Following are the runners on the teams: Freshmen—Donovan Reeder, Hiram Bandy, James McNerney, Burks Summers and W a then Kincheloe Juniors—Werner Baumetster, Raymond Copeland, Anthony BHiot, Theodore Rich and Bill Drumheller. Sophomores, third—Harry Simpson, George Moulton, Martin Stearns, Herman Beyer and Lester Richmond. Seniors, fourth—Fay Rhodes, Thomas Paul, Bruce Clingan, Carl Schreiher and Ray Kincheloe, inteLCtes Jteetmll As the score in the Inter-Class contest was very close at the time of the baseball series, much enthusiasm and class spirit was evident The Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, had last year ' s men to fall back on, hut not much was known about the Freshmen. The old saying goes, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you ’ but this case was different, for “what you did not know did hurt you,” as the Freshmen won the contest without much difficulty. The first game to be played was between the Juniors and the Seniors. The Juniors took this game by a Id to 3 score The next game was between the Freshmen and the Sophomores Here it was seen that the Freshmen did have something to be exceedingly proud of in their team of hall teasers, for they gave the poor Sophs a good drubbing Score, 7 to 0. The next game was between the Juniors and the Freshmen, Various predictions were made before this game concerning the winner, but the odds were a little in favor of the Juniors It was anybodyV game right- up to the last minute of play. The final score showed the Freshmen winners; score, 3 to 2, The last game took place between the Seniors and the Sophomores. As first place had already been decided, little enthusiasm was worked up over the game. It was easily won by the Sophomores, 3ntei Cla££ tErack 0tti The luter-Class track meet was held April 2, on Ankeny Field In this event, the Seniors took first: place, the Sophomores second, the Juniors third, and the Freshmen fourth. The meet was a good one although the track was a trifle heavy in places Some good time was made and some good material brought forth, Magrimn of the Senior class was individual point-maker, taking five first places. This meet was exceedingly good from the standpoint of showing that AYalia Walla High School has track material, which, with consistent train¬ ing, can qualify with any of the schools of the Northwest in this branch of athletics, §irlsf EotonMl Content It is very picturesque indeed to see the fair maidens frolicking on the green, especially so when they are engaged in a contest as interesting as town- ball. This branch in athletics is somewhat new in our Institution but as it was a great success this year, we hope that it will be made an animal event The girls worked up teams which were a credit, to the school The teams were fast and the girls pretty, so the games were very interesting. The schedule of games and their scores are as follows: Freshmen vs Sophomores—Freshmen, 2; Sophomores I, Juniors vs. Seniors—Juniors, 1 ; Seniors, 2 Freshmen vs. Seniors—Freshmen, 4; Seniors, 1. Inasmuch as the Inter-Ola contests have been a groat success financially, and instrumental in arousing and holding class spirit and enthusiasm, and in promoting clean sportsmanship between hoys and girls, we sincerely hope that this branch of school activity will be continued in the years to come. um OFFICERS PHILO ROUNDS DAN HENNESEY MARGARET KYGER NED McLEAN PRESIDENT Vice President Secretary Treasurer Alumni incites LOTTIES DAVIES The High School wishes to thank the members of the Alumni for their interest and support in all the activities this year. Wednesday, December 23, 1914, may well be remembered in this year’s history of the High School. Oh, no, not because it was just a few days before (lie holidays, or a day or so before Christmas, but because it was Alumni Day. It was on that morning that the Auditorium rang with the applause of the students, as the old graduates took places on the platform; and it was on that morning Aliss Lucy Magallon gave a solo, Mrs. George Bowers played the violin, and Dr. Boardman gave a very interesting talk. Then Air. Jones asked the members of the Alumni to talk to us. Clarence Ludwigs told us about Berkeley; William Berney spoke on “Fellowship Between Whitman and High School”; Dorothy Elliott advised us to attend Portland College; Herbert Sykes declared that he was the only happy one there because he was the only one mar¬ ried; Clarence Ludwigs told about the class hats at Berkeley; Howard Gilbert said that he was learning “painless dentistry”; and Harold Moore amused us with Chinese stories. All declared on their way to class that morning, that they hoped Alumni Day would come every year. What is it that attracts members of our Alumni to Alaska? Beth Gains h idler 06 has made her home there. Claude Roddy left the “Yale of Many Maters” this winter for the cold Northland and Jack Keene spent a good share of the winter in this land of gold, Grover Cooker] v 7 07, who was elected county engineer last fall, was mar¬ ried to Aliss Vivian Tuttle Alav 5.

The following members of the Alumni will be graduates from Whitman College this year: Harold Lyman, A lay Stack, Marguerite Hunt, Katherine Pentecost, LeRoy Ilolderman and William Berney. A es, we find poets among old graduates. One of our local papers published the following poem, which was written by Frances I. Wilson M2. Sbotiglj ti on tfje fetinc jHairotma Ah, Raphael, that mother face That you left in the Sis tine Chapel there, Tender, thoughtful, touched with grace. The light of the mother heart filled with prayer. Ah, that was art! You play on the heart of man As only a master artist can. And, Raphael, that baby form Is worth all a mother’s hopeful dreams, For in the child, held close and warm, The clear, bright light of promise gleams. Ah, that was art! You picture the heart of a child With a touch of pure art undefiled. But was there ever artist born Could interpret the mother love that will cling To her child that others pity and scorn As a silly, feeble, misshapen thing? Ah, that would be art! That could picture the heart of God, That sees the divine in the fleshy clod. 1913 2 A LA A. FERRIS. LA ROY HARVEY GEIL.. JULIA EVELYN GROSS. MARY ELIZABETH HASELTINE.. MARY HAYWARD...

A- 0n tfje “TLittk ipenb o EetUe KENNETH PEARCE “Here, Laddie! Here, Laddie!” I mailed, as I reached the top of a big rock jutting out over the Little Pend o 7 Reille river, and sat down to rest, for ir was a warm autumn-day. My little collie bounded up after me and lay panting, surveying the scene spread out before ns. Below lay the river, its hanks strewn with logs, and with steep, forest-covered mountains rising from both sides. Here and there we could see a white patch among the green, where the lumberjacks had been at work. A mile and a half down the river rose the smoke from the lumber mills at Arden, It was a beautiful, peaceful picture— the wild grandeur of the mountains mingled with the industry of man. Picking np my gun, an old Winchester- ”, X scrambled down the other side of the rock and headed for an alder thicket a quarter of a mile away, where T intended to gather some material for making bows. Laddie ran from side to side, barking frantically at the fat pine-squirrels, returning quickly to my side at my every word or whistle. Never did life seem so bright to a hoy and a dog. Arriving at the thicket, 1 drew out my knife and began to hunt for some stout pieces which would serve my purpose. After finding several likely branches, 1 rested my gun against a tree, and sat down on a Ion- to trim them off. Suddenly I was aroused from my work by a low growl. Laddie stood glaring at an opposite thicket, the hair standing up on his neck, fear and hatred in every line of his body, “W 1 hat’s the matter with you, Laddie?” I asked sharply. He growled again, then took a step forward, and stood with every muscle tense, forefoot poised in air, Ilis peculiar actions alarmed me, and I stepped over towards my rifle. But 1 was brought np short by a cry which fairly made my heart stop heating. It was like the scream of a woman in the agvmv of a horrible death, or a lost soul suffering the tortures of the Inferno—it was the cry of that most ferocious dweller of the mountains, whose very name suggests cruelty—the cougar. I stood as if turned to stone, peering through the trees in the direction from which the cry came. A few moments of deathly silence passed. All the stories T had beard of the cougar, and of the ways the old hunters advised to cope with this treacherous, bloodthirsty animal, flashed through my mind. 1 ben, till a fierce snarl, Laddie wheeled and faced the heavy clump of trees behind me. I turned, too. There, framed by the alders, was the fiendish head of a cougar, his little green eyes snapping maliciously, his long cruel teeth hared. Tie surveyed us doubtfully a moment, and then, with a light spring, hounded out of the thicket and crouched low, his long tail lashing the air, the BLUE W.. . ■ ........... muscles quivering- under Ills sleek, beautiful skin. The collie did not hesitate an instant, but sprang bravely at his enemy, unheeding my frightened “Como back here !” Like a flash the cougar sprang lighting squarely on the dog’s back. Laddie gave a yelp of surprise and pain, then the air was filled with the mingled snarls of the big cat, and the dog’s cries, and growls of rage. I quickly caught up my gun, but I could not fire, for dog and cougar were rolling over and over, snapping and tearing each other in a horrible melee. Suddenly the cougar sprang back, caught Laddie squarely with his big paw, and the companion of my hunts went tumbling over the hank into the river. As he disappeared the cougar turned to wreak his vengeance upon me. His head and shoulders covered with blood and dirt, he was a horrible sight to behold. I threw up my gun and fired four shots straight into the leering face, but the little ,22 caliber bullets had no more effect than so many grains of sand. The cougar crouched, and as he sprang I tried to step aside, and fell sprawling over a log, which mishap doubtless saved my life. The hank, at this point, sloped sharply down to the river, which was lined with many logs. Just below me was a rude raft of chained logs, about ten feet wide, -which had floated down from some camp and lodged here. When I fell over the log, I went headfirst down the bank onto this raft. It was lightly held, and J shoved away with my rifle, hoping to get out of the cougar’s reach. 1 was too late, however, for the animal jumped down on the other end of die raft just as I freed it from the jam. He crept menacingly toward me, a determination not to he thwarted written in every movement. But 1 had not lived for four years among the lumberjacks and river-drivers for nothing. I could ride logs with the best of them, and by taking a big chance, F might escape. 1 threw my rifle at the cougar with all mv strength and then jumped for a big log which was floating slowly past. The blow stopped my assailant for an instant, hut just as F got balanced he landed beside me. I backed to the end of the log, the cougar following warily. One step more and he could reach me. I here seemed nothing to do hut to throw myself into the water, and take my chances between escaping, and losing my life. d list then I spied a branch of an over-hanging fir above me. Here was lny chance! As the cougar made a last attempt to kill me, I leaped into the air and caught the branch in a convulsive grip. The cougar’s long claws gashed my leg from knee to ankle, but my life, at least, was safe. As the cougar struck me, the log rolled, and he was thrown into the stream. I To came up struggling, yowling desperately, A passing log caught him fairly between the eyes, and he disappeared forever into the waters of the Little Pend o’ Keille. I managed to pull myself up by the branch, though the pain was intense, and 1 screamed with every movement. T finally got safe in the crotch of the .

There was Laddie, covered with bandages and smelling of arnica salve, anxiously licking my face. I recognized the white walls of the camp hospital, and old l)r. Spen¬ cer bending over the sink, sterilizing his instruments. The cougar seemed like a dream, but no, I, too, was covered with bandages, and ray leg was strapped out straight and stiff. Patting Laddie, I drifted off to sleep again. The next day T learned how I had been saved. A party of lumberjacks up the river had heard my cries, and rescued me from the tree just after I had fainted. They had found Laddie on the bank, a short ways below, where he had managed to swim, and had brought him along to the camp hospital, too. Then I told them the story of my fight with the cougar, and they were greatly as- famished, to say the least. Indeed, all over Washington and Idaho traveled the story of the cougar, the boy, and the collie dog. “Qtfje Ctcrnal jteculme anb jfemtmne” BY ELYNORE SWEENEY The scene was admirably set for a miniature drama. Contrary to all known rules for a drama, the two leading characters enter in the first act— E v a i lgel i ne an d Perci va 1. She was strolling down the path of a suburban garden one rare day in Tunc. He stood on the wrong side of a rose hedge at the border of the garden. Perclval had never seen anything so wondrous fair as Evangeline, in her ruffly white. How, sad to say, Evangeline, as a worthy daughter of Eve, was a very capable little flirt. A coquettish glance from her luminuos golden- green eyes completed Cupid’s devasta tion. Our hero jumped the hedge, and landed ungracefully on all fours before the fair lady. The first, thing that She observed was that lie had very nice brown eves and black hair, TTe saw only Her divinely beautiful eyes. A sudden impulse moved Pnrcival, as sometimes happens, to kiss her on her rose-bud mouth. ’Twas then and there that the descendant of Adam received his punishment, because Eva’s daughter scratched him on his snub nose in a very good imitation of a Suffragette. For Evangeline was only a fluffy Angora kitty, and Percival was but an innocent, fat little pup, trying to see something of the world! Spring Jfeber HAROLD CONDIT Along about the first of May, When all the Earth was bright and gay, Two youths were seen to stroll one day Along the broad highway. Away from school these boys did steal. Defying thus the loud bell ' s peal. Out to where the woods conceal The trout in sportive play. The weather was too nice, they said, To stay in school with drowsy head, Listening while the teacher read Of valiant men of yore. So to the brook their way they stole, Their highest aim, ambition’s goal, To snare the brook trout from his hole, Where tempting waters roar. All thru ' the day their rods they plied, Viewing each trophy with looks of pride, Till dusk stole ’round on every side, And turned them from the pool. Not on lost lessons did their thot’s dwell, Or of the morrow when each must tell His version of the unheeded bell, To the master of the school. Next day into the office came Two penitent youths with looks of shame; Each tried to tell a story lame, Guilty they seemed to be. The master heard each story thru 1 Then told them what he thot was true; That they did fabricate he knew. He’d been a boy, you see. A heavy sentence he did lay Upon each truant, who must pay By working overtime each day; Hence, pleasure dearly bought. The youths resolved, if they did feel That to the brook they had to steal, They’d spurn temptation under heel, And turn to nobler thot ' . And so my friends you plainly see, That for each pleasure there must be A cost which oft to you and me Is very, very dear. And if you feel the truant ' s call In setting Spring or early Pall, Then heed the moral here. p Sfer || !;3 . . ROYAL ■.

She rose angrily from her place on the wood-pile and called back: I’m a Catholic, I ' m a Catholic, Fm a Catholic till I die. I ' ve already joined the Catholic church And T live on Catholic pie 1 Tom had gained the top of the fence by this time. He laughed loudly. “Think of a Catholic eat hr pie. Why Methodists are famous for eatiir it When Dad says he expects a minister for dinner, Mamma always says “Oh, dear! I must make some more pies.” I bet your mamma never says that.” Marjorie had now regained her composure. She disdained to answer. After trying ineffectually to get her to talk, Tom suddenly flapped his arms and crowed like a rooster. “I’ve got a secret.” “Oh, Toni, what is it ?” “I ain’t go hr to tell. A feller can’t trust a girl, especially if she is a Catholic. My dad says a Catholic can tell lies faster hi a dog can trot.” “Your dad told a lie when he said it!” “He didn’t,” “He did,” “Well, I ain’t a goin’ to tell my secret,” “Oh, Tom, please do. I’ll tell you what we’ll do. You tell me, an’ if I break my word, you can say all Cath’lics lie. I won’t tell a single person. You’ll sec.” “fCross-your-soul-and-hope-to-die.” “Cross-my-soul-and-hope-to-d ie.” “Well then, I’ve got the measles! T ain’t tellin’ no one, ’cause I wanta go to the picnic tomorrow. Dad has already bought the ticket. Gee! I’m just ROYA . L BLUE burnin’ up. Guess Til go lay in Jim Sloan’s bam for a while.” And away lie went, whistling “Yankee Doodle” (his latest accomplishment) with an air of great importance. Marjorie’s heart stood still. The measles! Why, when she had had them (her mother had often told her) it had taken two doctors, a trained nurse, the maiden hunt, and the good mother herself, to “pull her through,” although just how she could be pulled through a “measle,” Marjorie didn ' t un¬ derstand and her mother hadn’t explained. Wow she went to the kitchen to get her mother’s advice. “Mamma,” she said, “when I had the measles, where did I go?” “Why, you went to bed, of course, where you belonged. You were awfullv sick. If it hadn’t been for——” “Yes, I know,” Marjorie interrupted, “but if I hadn’t gone to bed, but had laid down in Jim IS loan’s barn, where would f be now?” The mother always tried to answer truthfully all her daughter’s ques lions, prov iding they were not “too silly,” She paused in perplexity for a moment. “Well, l don’t know exactly where you’d be. Leastways, you’d bo dead.” “Oh!” Marjorie’s eyes had grown very big. “Well, you needn’t look so scared. You didn’t die. Here, take a cooky an’ run an ' play.” Marjorie went thoughtfully back to her wood pile. Yes, surely Tom would die. She had her mother’s statement for that. But if she should tell his mother, so she could put him in bed and get two doctors and a trained nurse, and a maiden aunt, ho might “pull through.” But there was her promise! If she broke her word, it would mean not only that she had lied, but that the whole Catholic religion would be involved. Xo! Rather than that, let him die, and prove that a Catholic could be trusted. The world should not point the finger of scorn at her and say that she, a Catholic, had lied. Just as she reached this conclusion she remembered how Tom had fought for her when the boys had teased him about “playin ' with a girl.” Then she seemed to sec him again standing on the fence crowing like a rooster. She wavered. Tommy was her playmate anyway, even though he were a Methodist. She did not want to have time to change her mind again, so site ran as fast as she could to the next house where Tommy’s mother was quietly darning stockings. It did not take long to tell all about it, Tom’s mother only quietly folded her work and said: “Well, well, PH have to see about it.” If she had fainted or screamed, Marjorie would have felt repaid for her sacrifice. She went hack to her wood- pile, disconsolate, Tn about two hours, Tom’s mother came over and talked to Marjorie’s mother a few minutes; then they both went away together. When her mother ROYAL BLUE came back, she did not say anything to Marjorie but looked very grave. Later her father told her that Tom was very sick. The next day Tom asked to see her. lie looked very funny as he lay in bed, red as a poppy, with little pimples all over his face. But Marjorie was given little time for such reflections for Tom called as soon as she entered the room: “Hello there, tattle-tale! So you went and told a lie after all you said. 37 Marjorie burst into tears. “O-o-oh, Tom! I didn ' t mean to.

ODYSSEUS EETUEXS HOME WOOERS ARE SLAIN TELEMACHUS ODYSSEUS ONLY JlELlL DISGUISED AS BEGGARS OLLIE CHANDLER Ithaca Dec 10 —(Special)—After many years of wandering, Odysseus, who was supposed to be lost, returned home a few nights ago, in the disguise of a beggar. He stayed one night with the swineherd, Eumaeus, to find out that his wealth was being destroyed by some of our well-known citizens who were contending for the hand of Penelope He was also at the palace for a few days, spying on the wooers On the night of the ninth, having ordered the outer gates barred and the women locked in their apartments, Odysseus, who was in the hall with the suitors, struck the first blow in the inevitable struggle, and killed Anti nous. The hall then became a scene of confusion When the suitors realized that it was Odysseus, one of their number, Eurymachus, rushed at them with a sword, but was stopped by an arrow sent by Odysseus lnmself, Telernachiis came to the rescue, and a hand to hand fight ensued. One by one the men fell a prey to Odysseus, and were stretched on the floor in great pools of blood. Odysseus then sent for his housekeeper, Eury leia, and told her to order the servants to carry out the dead and clean the ball. Penelope was then informed, for the first time, of her husband ' s return Odysseus Was mayor of Athens before the left to take command of a regi¬ ment in the Trojan war; he also has been a prominent member of the Achaean Congress, and is well-known and esteemed by all. ®fic iEale of Calppsio MABEL BERGEVIN (Extracts from a Conversation Between Tm and Calypso) “Well, as I started in to say, a great many things have happened since I saw you last.

ROYAL BLUE INTRODUCTION In this, the first issue of the Junior Annual, we of the editorial staff have attempted to give a complete review of Walla Walla High School life for the year just completed It has been our desire to publish a paper which will be enjoyable to road not only at the present time, but which will also in the years to come, servo as a pleasant reminder of our school flays. Keenly have we felt the loss of our former editor, Lyman Waters, who was forced to leave school because of ill health. He had, however, outlined and planned the paper which lie wished to publish, and had done a large amount of work upon it. It is his plan that we have followed and carried out to the best of our ability. We wish to extend our thanks to the student body and to the faculty for the aid which they have given us. And so we hope that this paper will show our appreciation of the aid which lias been given to us, and, in a measure, come up to the expectations of our early editor, the faculty, the student body, and all other subscribers of “The Royal Tllne.” AN EXPLANATION At the present time our High School is overcrowded. There is but one reason for this—the folly of the voters who defeated the bond issue. Thos? people should be forced to attend the school for a week; then, at the end of that time, they would ho much better acquainted with the conditions under which the faculty and the students are compelled to work. Only a lack of under¬ standing concerning these conditions, could possibly be the reason why those people voted down the bond issue. It could not be for the sake of economy, for we have spent thousands of dollars in building “shacks” and we are just where we were in the first place. Wo must have more room, for the number of student I s is increasing by leaps and bounds. The graduating class this year will number between sixty and sixty-five. The number of incoming Freshmen in September will be a hundred at the least. What shall we do with them? YVe are already overcrowded. More shacks must he built or wo must have a new school building. Before long all of the available space in which to build “shacks” will have been. used. Then what shall we do ? The same answer— “more shacks, or a new building 3 By that time our once beautiful lawn will look like a poultry farm. How much money will have been spent? Surely enough to build a fine modern school building, large enough to satisfy all de¬ mands for many years to come. The thousands of dollars which have already been spent have been wasted, for it will be absolutely necessary to build a new building in a very short , 1=7 ROYAL 3 SLUE time, Is i ll is economy These saine people who have made this blunder, will go into a store and banter for an hour to save ten cents. The only reason why they have made midi a bad mistake is that they did not understand the situation, and if they did not understand it, they should not. have voted, for no person lias any right to vote for or against anything unless lie is familiar with that upon which he is voting. We hope, therefore, that those who have failed to understand the situa¬ tion here at the High School, will take it upon themselves to become acquainted with it. And when the question again arises as to the erecting of a new building, we hope that these people will act more wisely than they did before. A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR CITY AND VALLEY Most of the people of Walla Walla are, undoubtedly, familiar with the history of the valley and of the city. We have such a wealth of history here in our beautiful valley that no one could remain in it long without bearing many of the historical states, thereby becoming possessed with the desire to know more of the history of the country. In 1818 Peter Skeen Ogden, a member of the Northwest Fur Company, estab¬ lished a fort at Walla Walla. The name then given to it was Fort Nez Perces. This fort was the stopping place for all fur-trains coming in from the Blue Mountains and other parts of the surrounding country. It was also a point of defense against the Indians. The garrison was driven from the fort by the Indians a few years after the fort was built, the soldiers taking refuge on the islands in the Columbia, where the In¬ dians could not overcome them. The Indians were finally beaten, and the soldiers returned to the fort, which was abandoned in 1853, after the territory had been taken over by the United States. In 1832 two Flathead Indians arrived in St. Louis after spending two years wan¬ dering aimlessly about in quest of the white man’s book ' as they called the Bible, Though they had reached St, Louis, they were no better off, for no one could under¬ stand what they wished to communicate. After a time they were sent, to a priest, who was able to find out what it was they desired, When it was learned that they were in quest of the Bible, two missions were organized. Of these two missions we are concerned with only one, the mission of Marcus Whitman. The Ameri¬ can Board sent Marcus Whitman of Rushville New York, and Samuel Parker of Utica, New York, to examine the field. When the exploring party reached the Green river, Whitman turned back for the East for the purpose of organizing a body of emigrants and accompanying them to the new western country. The next spring, 1836, Whitman started for the West with his young bride. With the incidents of his perilous journey across the continent we are all familiar. He reached Fort Walla Walla September 1, 1836. As the Hudson ' s Bay Company was then in control of the entire country. Whitman thought it wise to gain the friendship of that organization. Accordingly, he went to see Doctor McLaughlin, the chief factor of the Hudson ' s Bay Company. At his advice, Whitman established his mission six miles west of the present city of Walla Walla, In a few years Doctor Whitman had one hundred acres of land under cultivation, and had erected many buildings, among them a grist mill driven by the waters of Mill creek, about fourteen miles above the city. He had also gathered many children around him for instruction. But now there came a sudden halt in their progress—the Whitman Mas¬ sacre, This terrible event took place in the fall of 1847. Only five men escaped from the mission under the cover of darkness. Of those five men, one who reached ROYAL BLUE . .. sss.V ' — i m — Fort Walla Walla was refused admittance by the commander of the fort No aid was sent from the fort. A courier, however, was sent to Vancouver, but he did not even warn the people at The Dalles of their danger Following the massacre came the Indian outbreak called the Cayuse War. in this war, the Nez Perce s and the Spokane Indians were friends of the missionaries, When the news of the outbreak reached the Willamette settlement, fourteen com¬ panies ol volunteers were equipped by the government Cornelius of Gilliam was chosen colonel of the regiment On their march to Waiilatpu the soldiers had many fights with the Indians, hut they drove the Indians before them to the Snake river Here the soldiers were outgeneraled by the Indians, and because of lack of provi¬ sions were forced to retreat to the Touchet But, as the settlers insisted on punish¬ ing the murderers, the Indians scattered. A band of Um a til las attempted to capture the offenders, but were successful in killing only the Indian that had been the first to strike Doctor Whitman, The first council of Indians and settlers was held in Walla Walla in 1853, when Governor Stevens and Joel Palmer met the representatives of seventeen tribes. The war of words was bitterly waged between Governor Stevens on the one side, ami Chief Looking Glass on the other. Finally, an agreement was reached. Later it was learned that the thousands of Indians had considered seriously whether they should kill the white men, thus putting an end to the matter of possession for all time. The Nez Perces Indians, however, stood so firmly by the whites that the massacre was averted, Walla Walla Valley was formally opened to settlement in 1855, the Indian treaty being ratified the next spring. Fort Walla Walla was established in 1857. The first store was a tent situated on what is now the corner of Main and Second Streets, The business of the store was supplying goods to the post. As to the first building, there is some difference of opinion. Some say that the first building was a cabin erected In the summer of 1857 by William McWhirk, on what is now the corner of Main and Second Streets. The town was first known as Stsptoeville, then as Waiilatpu, Finally a petition for Waiilatpu was sent to the commissioners at their meeting on November 17, 1859. There was some protest and the commissioners at Iasi designated the village as Walla Walla. A town government was established and the town was formally Incorporated, Lots were laid out 60 feet by 120 feet These were sold at $5 apiece and $2 was required for all recorded. Ten acres were set apart ior a town square and public buildings. Walla Walla was incorporated by an act of the Territorial Legislature, passed January 11, 1862. The officials of the town were to have no salary until the population reached 10,000. The city was re-in corpora fed in 1883, In 1884 it was divided into wards, Walla Walla became the distributing point of a section, parts of which were included in the states of Washington Idaho, and Oregon. Goods were packed as far even as Fort Benton on the Upper Missouri river. With the gold rush came a period 01 sreat prosperity to Walla Walla, In these times, letters were carried to and from the miners by special riders. The amount charged depended, of course, on the dis¬ tance. Before the gold rush, it had been discovered that vegetables could be easily grown in the valley, as well as wheat and other grains. But there had been no market for these products except at the post. Now. with the rush of the miners, a wonder lul market had been created and Walla Walla straightway began to earn the title of “The Garden City of the Inland Empire. Thus our city lias grown from a fort and a single store to a beautiful town. As we stop and think back fifty years, such a change seems impossible. Now the only landmark of the ' days of the six-shooter is the saloon. This institution, if we may defile such a respectable word, has proved itself unfit for this day and now it too must go. May we, the students of the Walla Walla High School, give our lives and our labor for the betterment of our city and of mankind as willingly and as cheerfully as did Marcus Whitman and the other brave pioneers of the old days when the West and our Walla Walla were young.

ROYAL .. €fj I af) Jtam THOMAS RGM1NE From the opinions expressed by persons in the school and outside of school, os well as by our exchanges, the Eh Kah Nam for the year 1914-15 has been a success. Doubt less almost everyone knows the reason for this success, but for those who do not, the editor will endeavor to state briefly the great advantages under which the work of the paper has been carried on this year. These advantages separate themselves into three divisions: first, the advantage in regard to financial matters; second, the splendid work of the staff; and third, the loyal support of the school. At the beginning of the year, the Eh Kah Nam was aided greatly from a financial standpoint, when the Annual was separated from it. The school paper was allowed to continue on the same basis as before without having to publish as expensive an Annual. Its financial strength was also greatly increased by having for an advertising manager, Kirk Norton. Kirk succeeded in getting alone, each month, more advertise- meats than any other two advertising managers before him had clone. It is through his splendid work that the Eh Kah Nam was run on a paying basis. The next advantage was that of the staff. The staff this year, the editor believes, was far better than ever before. Every department editor did his work and did it so well that we were crowded for space every issue. The departments were as good in quality as in quantity. The stories were snappy and interesting, the jokes were original, and the athletic department certainly had the “dope” on the sporting news. These edi¬ tors who deserve special mention are Mildred Smith, literary; Cecil McKinney, jokes; Harold Blanford, pick-ups; Otto Broxon, athletics; Jessie Baltezore and Grace Green, art; Gaylord Upington, associate editor; and A linos Reynolds, alumni. The two advantages mentioned above are necessary to produce a good paper, but there is one more which is even more essential than either of the two, the support of the school as a whole. The result was, that so many student tickets were sold that the subscribers list of the Eh Kah Nam was almost one and one-half times as large as that of any previous year. The editor feels grateful for these advantages and believes that he voices the ap¬ preciation of the student body for the fine work of the staff, as well as the apprecia¬ tion of the staff for the splendid support of the students. ©ffteertf of tf)E $ou$e of $Upre£tentatiUe£S GAYLORD UPINGTON, PRESIDENT, JESSE CUNDIFF, SECR ETARY AND TREASURER, EVERELL CATION, EH KAH NAM REPORTER.

CATION The House of Representatives opened its activities for the year at its first meet¬ ing with the election oS officers. Gaylord TJpington was elected president; Bruce Ciingan, vice president; Jesse Ounditi, secretary-treasurer; and George Clarke sergeant- al arms, Blans were immediately started to increase the membership of the club and evidences of their success were soon plainly manifested, as new applications for mem¬ bership have continually been presented. The principal line ol work for the year, as originally planned, was debate, the ‘ ' Single 1 ax Question ' ' being the subject. The question was very forcibly presented by Professor George of Whitman Callage and by Mr. Ormsbee of the High School. But since the High School did not enter debate, debate yielded its place to athletics for this year. Lively contentions between the two literary societies of the High School, the Alpha Gamma and the blouse or Representatives, were the exchanges of challenges The challenge from the House ol Representatives, for a debate, was quickly answered by the return challenge of the Alpha Gammas for a contest in selling Red Cross Seals. Although both challenges were accepted, unforeseen circumstances prevented the former from being carried out. This made the latter all the more interesting, the result being a tie. The conditions of the challenge were that the losers should enter¬ tain the winners at a party, and although the Alpha Gammas were not the lose rs, they quickly responded by giving a most delightful entertainment and banquet for the House, The main line of study for this year has been Parliamentary Drill and Roberts ' Rules of Order, The meetings have also been made very interesting and instructive by such talks from the faculty as those given by Miss Darling and Miss Klahr on their travels, Mr. Jennings on ‘ Evolution ’ Mr. Jones and Mr, Carpenter on Parlia¬ mentary Drill, Miss Burrows on debate, and Mr, Ormsbee on the “Single Tax Question ’ One of the greatest assets of the House has been the splendid work done by Miss Sykes in the devotion of her time and efforts to the club. Although plans were partially formed for the giving of an open meeting this year, it was found best, because of the many activities, to discontinue them for the present. But plans are now being made to give an entertainment during the early part of next year, Seminars EMMA CORD1XER The Seminar Society is now sending out another class to join the teachers of the county. The Society, which was organized last year with the help of Miss Burrows, is growing in popularity and soon will be one of the dominant factors of the High School. The officers for the past, year were:—Mildred Smith, president; Myrl Higgins, vice president; Bessie Littlejohn, secretary and treasurer; and Emma Cordiner, Eh Kah Nam reporter. Several new books have been added to our library; among them are: ‘A Primer of Psychology ’ “College Entrance Requirements in English ’ ■‘Fundamental Facts for the Teacher,” and Vocational Guidance,” Miss Burrows lias given us some helpful talks on psychological subjects, such as Attention” and “Sensation.” She has also read several articles on psychology to us, Several of the members of the Society have given talks and reviewed books illus¬ trating public school methods for us. Some of these were on ' Recreation and Play” and “Vocational Guidance.” Mr. Kern has given led n res on “The Recitation ' while Mr. Jones gave a splendid talk on “Perception 1 Miss Dunlap of the Sharpstein School outlined her method of teaching the primary pupils for us. This was thor¬ oughly enjoyed by all. Mr. Ormsbee and Mr. Gray have also favored, us with talks. Mr. Ormsbee reviewed American History in a most delightful way, recalling many forgotten points to our minds Mr. Gray spoke on spelling and penmanship. He explained how these subjects might be taught and illustrated the Palmer system of writing. We have had some practical lessons in teach ing this year, a teacher and class being chosen from the club to prepare and present a lesson in arithmetic and read ing. These were helpful as well as amusing. Examination time is dvawing near and we are studying very hard. The State will receive some very good teachers next year from our Seminar Society, we are sure. We wish to thank all who have so kindly aided in making this a successful year for the Seminar Society. Seminar £sorietj (Officers MILDRED SMITI-I, PRESIDENT, HELEN MILLER, VICE PRESIDENT.

From the first the society has been wide a Yake and we have enjoyed many good programs, among the most interesting being tliose given by Mrs, Norton, Miss Klahr and Miss Burrows, The program rendered on October 17, was very interesting as well as instructive, the subject being The European War,” “An Illusion of War”.....Myrl Higgins Spy Catching in England”...Emma Cordiner “A Talk on the Present European War”..Mr. Ormsbee Our programs have included debates, lectures, picture shows, and other topics of interest. Then at Christmas time came the Old English Christmas” play given in the gym¬ nasium.

In the stamp selling contest this winter between the House of Representatives and the Alpha Gamma Society, the result was a tie, so it looked as if there would be no feast. However, as the boys had been defeated the year before and had given us such a splendid banquet, we decided to return the compliment Accordingly, on February 22, we gave them a banquet. The first part of the evening was spent in the High School Auditorium, where a motion picture comedy, “A World Without Men,” was staged, speeches were made, and a few musical numbers were rendered, after which we adjourned to the most important event of the evening. The Banquet hall,” Room D, was artistically decorated in red crepe paper, candles, and ivy. After the refresh¬ ments, Irene Gross, the toastmistress, called for toasts on the general topic “Our World.” Those who responded were: Lois Porter.. .

Speaking for the Society, I can say that we sincerely regret losing our most efficient helper, teacher, and friend. Miss Burrows. She lias been faithful m attend¬ ance ever since she has been in the Walla Walla High School and she has helped to make all of our meetings very successful. We only wish that she could return next year to take her accustomed place again. 5,atin Club ©fitter BETH STARR, F RESIDENT, ©ittpult antiquotum JESSIE CHAPIN Now we may smile and say, “Another year is almost ended. ' ’ Is it, therefore, not worth our while to look back over the months to see wherein our success lies ? Last year there was no Latin Sodolitas; now there is a well organized society and to Miss McIntyre and Miss Twinam we owe our appreciation for its advancement. On the first of October, a meeting of all classes in Latin was called to organize a Latin Club and at once the plan of forming such a club met with the hearty approval of all. Miss McIntyre discussed the value and possible achievements or the club, the fol¬ lowing officers being elected: BETH STARR... .President CECIL McKINNEY... Vice President FRANCIS PENROSE .Secretary WILLIAM DRUM HELLER. Eh Kah Nam Reporter JESSIE CHAPIN .Annual Reporter Committees on Finance and Programs. A few weeks later, committees were appointed to select a name, a motto, and an emblem. Several names were selected for the consideration of the club. The one chosen was Dicipuli Antiquorum, followers of the Ancients, the motto being, Mem mi vos adesse Romae,” “Remember you are in the presence of Rome.” When we consider how much of our civilization we owe to the Romans, and how much ol our language and law system is derived from theirs, both name and motto seem very appropriate. An artistic emblem was designed by Harold Blandford, The plan was to have social meetings in Roman style. On October 21, the first one was held in the gymnasium. The guests wore Roman costumes in different types. Old Roman sports as indoor baseball, tag, races, and boxing matches, furnished amuse¬ ment during the evening. At 9:30 the happy crowd adjourned. The fundamental purpose of this society is to benefit the school by establislung a “Roman Room.” Room 5, to be used for this purpose, will be painted and decorated by the Art League, and furnished with a Roman altar, seats, busts,.and pictures. When a new building is provided, we hope to have two rooms for the Latin Department in which there will be a mosaic floor, and the usual implurvium and complurvmm. poo! and fountain of a Roman House. These rooms would be used not only for the Classical Department, but as a reception and social hail lor all affairs. All clubs have a treasury, biit unfortunately most of them are empty. Not so with the Dicipuli Antiquorum. There is, at the present time, about seventy dollars in the fund At the North Yakima football game, home-made candy was sold to the on¬ lookers; during the game with The Dalles hot dogs” disappeared like magic. At the basketball games and the minstrel show, candy was sold with remarkable swiftness y tlie Romans. _ . A meeting of the club was held Thursday, March 4, in the auditorium After a short business session, the evening was devoted to an illustrated lecture by Professor Ruby of Whitman College. The subject was “Roman Life and Customs. We remember how interested yon were when it was announced that the High 111 ii ' icdi ROYAL . .. gn ' i 1 . i| !i; |!!: :, , ' i: : ;| School could witness a Roman wedding. Tryouts were held, and after careful consid¬ eration the cast was chosen. The play was presented on the evening of March 26. The stage settings, incense burners, and altars, were excellent representations of Roman furnishings. The six “white marble pillars were especially effective. The play consisted of four scenes; the first was tile Dandle Dance, which was a religious ceremony by twelve Vestal Virgins, and the betrothal; the second, the wedding; the third, the processional; fourth, the scene at the groom’s house.

Now that we have a well organized club, we can look forward to next year, which promises to he even better than this has been. W$t Bramattc Club EMORY FUNK Tiie Expression Classes of 1915 have organized a Dramatic Club, Walla Walla High School has never had a real dramatic organization, and we felt that it was time to pave the way for coming Expression students. Rules and regulations of the club have not been fully settled, but from all appearances, only Expression students or pupils who have had the Expression work, will be admitted as members. The work of the club will be taken up in the study of plays, and with theater parties, banquets and pantomime work. Meetings will be held on Wednesday of every other week, al¬ ternating so as to cause no conflict with the Alpha Gamma Society. The establish¬ ment of the club this semester will give it a good footing and members will be ready for work in earnest next fall. gljSgocmteb gstubent Officers anii poarii of Control GEORGE CRAM.

This was well shown in the enthusiasm and “pep” which were evideni all through the football season. Our team did, this year, tiling ' s that were seemingly impossible. It. won the championship of the Inland Empire. This championship was gained only after many hard fought battles. The reasons for our victories in football do not lie wholly with the team. The coaches, the second team, the support and spirit shown by the High School body, have played so important a part in this year’s campaign that they cannot be over estimated. The team was defeated only once during the entire season and as we all know, “this once” was an exceptional game which should have been avoided. The games and scores are as follows: October 3—Pasco at Walla Walla. Score—Walla Walla, 83; Pasco 0 October 10—Waitsburg at Walla Walla.

Our prospects are bright for next year as shown by our second team this year. The second squad deserves no small amount of credit. Their games were few and far between, but nevertheless they were as faithful about prac¬ tice as were the first team men. Night after night the second squad was out bucking the first team and giving them the scrimmage practice which was so essential. 1 lie coaching this year was done by Messrs. Jones, Cox and Carpenter. The school appreciates greatly the work done by these three men who are de¬ serving of a great deal of credit.

The games scheduled for the year were with Pendleton, Waitsburg, Prescott and Milton. Though the team felt the loss of Sue Crawford, Lucia Hale and Bertha McConnell 111 several of the games, the good work of the subs gave them a confidence that brought the season to a successful close.

Props’ pas etbaU HAROLD CONDIT Despite all the prophecies of a poor basketball team for this year, a goodly number of aspirants for the team were on hand and in uniform for the first practice w v time of the interclass games, the squad looked good even to the professional eye Alter the class games, the members of the squad settled down to hard work and every nosi uon was hotly contested for up to the time of the choosing of the first team The success ful contestants for first team positions were:—Magrunn (captain) and Schreiber ROYAL BLUE forwards; Rich and Jones, guards; Earing, center; Emigh and Richmond, substitutes. These men, who held their positions throughout the entire season, are deserving of a great deal of credit for their faithfulness. After the choosing of the team, the prospects for a successful and victorious season were still somewhere in the background, for none of the members with the exception of Captain Magrunn had heretofore had first team experience; but after the first two games, all doubts were laid aside, and even the most pessimistic in the school could not but look brightly on our chances for a good season. There were three winning elements in the basketball schedule which brought the championship of the Inland Empire to us this year, the team, Coach Cox and Mr. Jones, and the school. These individual units, forming a perfect running machine, ran throughout the entire season in perfect harmony. Too much cannot be said in praise of any one of them. There were two blots which marked the finished schedule; first, when the local squad was defeated by the Pendleton team on the Pendleton floor; and second, when the Ritzville team of basket-shooters won from the locals on the Ritzville floor, play¬ ing college rules. These defeats did not count, as Pendleton gave in on comparative scores and Ritzville was outlawed from the Washington State Conference, The games of the season and their scores are as follows: Prescott vs. Walla Walla, January S, Walla Walla “gym.” Prescott, 10; Walla Walla, 67.

Ttiat Walla Walla High School would have a strong baseball team for this year, was evident during the playing of the Inter-Class games. The procuring of a coach of such ability as Coach Brown, was a great factor in making a strong team, The work of the team was good considering the continual hard luck under which the mem¬ bers seemed to play toward the last of the season. The support given the baseball team was poor in comparison to the support given the other branches of athletics this year, but this support compares favorably with the support given to baseball m previous years. The team this year was composed of the following: Pitchers, Stan¬ field Haffner and Powers; catchers, Buckley and Winans; first base, La Fortune and Clark; second base, Mahan; third base, Zell; shortstop, C. Rich; outfield, Black¬ man, Suttner, H. Rich and Davidson. The games and their scores were as follows: Walla Walla vs. Touched Sportsman Park, March 26, Walla Walla, 6; Touchet, 2, Battery—Haffner and Buckley.

The band should be highly commended for the excellent support they have given the baseball team this year. j LWfi .... . sail; isiilm! iiiif.

ROYAL BLUE . .j.I, 3 ■j M M ' 1 ,! 1 ...... . £ OCtCtp J OtES RUTH HOWARD The annual Faculty reception was held Friday evening, September 11, by the remaining members of the last year’s faculty for the new members of this year. The reception was given in the gymnasium, which was artistically decorated in purple and gold. During the evening, sherbet was served by Mrs Crawford, Mrs. Gardner, and Mrs. Higgins, assisted by several Junior and Senior girls, A most enjoyable evening was spent by tbe many friends, patrons, and students, who attended. The members of the faculty have been divided into committees, each of which is expected to entertain the other members of the faculty. The first committee entertainment was a Hallowe ' en party, held Saturday eve¬ ning, October 31, at Miss BlymTs, 224 Marcus Street. The guests came in sheets with masks, and were given paper bags cut. in shapes of different animal heads. A delightful evening was spent with various Hallowe ' en games, after which refresh¬ ments were served. Another of the faculty committees gave a Military Five Hundred party, Saturday evening, January 13, at the home of Mrs. Ella Sharpstein, 604 South Division, Miss Whitney, Miss Campbell, and Miss Klahr, were the honor guests. The tables were so arranged that each represented a fort of the different warring nations, Fort London winning the fight for the evening. Delicious refreshments were served. Other committees still have their entertainments to give and the members of the facul ty anticipate further good times. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Kern entertained the members of the faculty and their friends, Saturday evening, October 17, at a card party. A very enjoyable evening was spent and as usual delicious refreshments were served We all greatly regret the loss of those of the faculty who have left us. Miss Eva Jessup left us in January to take a position in Los Angeles, California. She will be greatly missed by her many friends here, who have learned to love her. Miss Whitney has also gone, much to the loss and regret of many. Cupid, however, has many surprises. To recompense us for our losses, several new teachers have been given to us. These new members are Miss Frazier, Miss Goodrich, and Miss Campbell. Miss Klahr, also, returns to us, much to our pleasure. Miss Elizabeth Jane Cox and Mas¬ ter Richard Armstrong Ornisbee have been accepted as honorary members of the faculty, but as yet they have taken no active interest in the affairs of state. The general dances have been much more of a success this year than ever be¬ fore on account of the fact that the gymnasium has been open to the students for these affairs. The affair which the High School enjoyed the most, perhaps, was the first general High School dance, given in the gymnasium, Friday evening, September 25. The dance was informal and all present enjoyed the fun. The committee in charge was as follows:—Miss Sykes, Miss Booth, Miss Darling, Mr. Most, Mr. Ormsbee, and a representative from each class. Another of the general dances was held Friday evening, April 23. The purpose of this dance was to buy music for the band and orchestra of our school. A very en- joyable evening was spent by the large crowd of students who attended. During the evening excellent punch was served. Besides these, the different classes have had their individual social functions, vieing among themselves for the most interesting and successful social event which they could give. The Juniors entertained the Seniors in the gymnasium with a carnival, November 25. The gymnasium was decorated with pennants and booths. The booths, each of which represented a different nation, added much to the attractive¬ ness. The vaudeville shows, written by Werner Baumeister for the occasion, were especially enjoyed by all. One of the most successful school dances of late, was the informal dance given by the Sophomores on Saturday evening, February 13, to the whole student body. A large number of students attended. The Sophomores also entertained the Freshmen on Hallowe’en night at the “hard times” party in the gymnasium. An enjoyable evening was spent by all present. In return, the Freshmen entertained the Sophomores at a very unique party in the gymnasium, Saturday evening, January 23. The affair was known as a track meet.” The room was decorated with pennants and was roped off, forming an arena in which those contested who were chosen from numerous groups to take part in the events. To read the program, one would have imagined a real meet, but when the events came off, one quickly realised the fun. When it was learned that the purpose of the broad jump was to find out which member of the faculty had tho largest mouth when stretched into a smile, it will not be surprising to learn that Mr. .Tones carried off the honor, Miss Darling and Miss Sykes tying for second. At 10 o’clock, ice cream and cake was served; then the guests went to their homes, very grateful to their friends for the delightful evening. Friday evening, January 1, in addition to our class events, the Alumni enter¬ tained Seniors and Juniors at a dancing party in the Odd Fellows’ Temple. A large number attended and the evening was enjoy ably spent. The athletic societies were also not outclassed by the other societies, when it came to giving a good dance. The girls ' basketball team were hostesses at a dancing party given tor the Pendleton High School girls, Friday evening, February 5. A large number attended and spent a very enjoyable evening. The members of the W. W. H, S. football team entertained in honor of the D. H. S, team at a dancing party in the Odd Fellows’ Temple, Friday evening, November 20, The hall was decorated with pennants. Owing to the tact that the Dallas team left on the 10 o ' clock train, they did not have much time for dancing There was a large number present, all of whom had a delightful time. The patronesses were Mrs. J- M. Crawford, Mrs. N. M. Higgins and Mrs. A, G. Cornwell. The crowning social event of the year, however, was the Promenade given by the Junior class, April 30, 1015. The ball was given in the Odd Fellows ' Temple, which was beautifully decorated in a color scheme of pink and white. A large medallion of the colors hung above in the center of the room, from which streamers extended to various corners and windows. The balcony was draped artistically with ribbon bows and flowers, and the punch booth, prettily decorated with flowers and streamers, was a center of much gaiety for the dancers. The evening opened with a grand march Excellent music for the evening was furnishe d by Candel ' s orchestra. With the strains of the familiar piece Aloha,” the good time was ended and the guests departed. In looking back over the social events of the past year, we are probably all agreed that they have been the most successful of our school lives. Other branches oi T activities are saying that this has been a good year and are finding the reasons for this in the splendid school spirit that has been shown during the entire year, and in the excellent support. We agree with them, and fee! that our school in spite ol its size knows how to have a good time together, and that these evenings spent n the gym nasi vim help us to become better acquainted with our fellow students. GLEE CLUB BAND ORCHESTRA ROYAL . BLUE (glee Club ©filters GAYLORD UPINGTON. president. GLADYS KERRICK, VICE PRESIDENT. BEULAH KELLY, SECRETARY AND TREASURER §kt Club BLANCHE MITCHELL Although the members of the Glee Club have not been very prominent this year in High School activities, nevertheless they have been doing some very good ' o with their music. They have sung at meetings ot the Teachers institute, at the Oratorical Contest, and in the Student Assemblies. Also, in January, they gave a con¬ cert assisted by tile Orchestra and by Miss Booths classes in Expression and Gym nasium It present, they are working on songs for the Commencement Exercises Baccalaureate Sermon, and the School Pair. Since Glee Olub work has been made To count a credit for anyone taking it, the club has been larger this year than ever be¬ fore. And so, considering our numbers and talent, we hope to do some very good woik next year. ®be |Banb JO IL SUTTNEk The intention of the School Board was also to have a High School hand and to obtain a leader for it. At the tirst practice, it was found that the number present would not justify organizing a band. So the band question was dropped for the time being A band was not talked of until about the end of the basketball season when the survivors of last year’s band got together one night and practiced some of the “old hymns ” The next morning they appeared at the student assembly and gave a con¬ cert which made an instant hit. That morning it was voted by the students to send the band along with the girls’ basketball team to Waitsburg that afternoon. Upon arriving, they found that the village hand had also organized for the occasion; hence two hands furnished the noise and music at the game that evening. The fol¬ lowing week the hand accompanied the boys’ basketball team to Waitsburg. At the beginning of the baseball season, they made the racket at the opening game. The at¬ tendance was somewhat poor, and the band gave the necessary “pep” which makes our team win. During the remaining games, the band will be there to draw the crowds to the games. We can say that this year has been the most successful one for the band and orchest ra in the history of the school. So let us hope that next year will be a bigger and better one still. )t (Prdfjesitra JOE SUTTNER The orchestra, this year, has been taken in hand by the School Board, who wished to have one that would be a credit to the High School. It was decided to hire an instructor and have two practices a week. Mr. Truant, leader of the Dime orchestra, was chosen to conduct our orchestra. About fifteen reported for the first practice. Every instrument that goes to make a small orchestra complete was played by some of the members. Practice was begun at once, and, ever since, the orchestra has been making rapid strides towards a successful year. At the end of the first semester, Mr Truant was forced to resign on account of other work. This, however, did not stop the ambitions of the members and another instructor was soon chosen. Mrs. Ester Sundquist Bowers was the one selected to succeed Mr. Truant. Our new leader has worked wonders with the orchestra and the music played has brought forth praise from all who have had the pleasure of listening to the music. No doubt, next year, all the members will be back and a more successful year is looked forward to. So far this year, the orchestra has furnished music on the following occasions: Junior Party Student Assembly, Glee Club and Orchestra Recital, E reshmen Party, Declamatory Contest, Latin Club Play, Basket Social, Student Assembly. . . °$LUE Cxcfjanges LUCILE HANGER Even if lack of space prevents the Eh Kali Nam from a long discussion of the different papers that have been received during the year, we wish to acknowledge the following exchanges:—Totem, The Megaphone, Chemawa American, Blue and Gold, King Edward’s Chronicle, Blue and White, Scout, Booster, Camosun, The Blue Bird, M.

Phone 839 THE FACTS ARE GETTING AROUND NE of the biggest single reasons for the steady increase in [A our business is the efficiency of the Franklin direct air-cooled %F1 J engine. No radiators, no piping, no plumbing—nothing to freeze in Winter or overheat in Summer. For instance, on Sep tern her 24, 1914, 118 Franklin Cars ran 100 miles on low gear without stopping the engine. Franklin owners do not have to fuss with anti-freezing mixtures or the so-called remedies for overheating. That’s why more and more of the critical buyers are coming to select the Franklin—especially the men who have gone through the experiences of driving the ordinary water-cooled car. Sincerely yours, Franklin Motor Car Co. Spokane and Alder Streets. Come in any time and we will be glad to show you the records of the Franklin 100 mile low gear run, and to point out the special features of the Franklin direct air-cooled engine.

Baird, Mgr 57 E. Main ---- 1 This is the Most Important Advertisement I Ever Caused to be Published—Read Every Word—and then Marvel! On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject, of a possible August 1 rebate, (The Ford Company announced last year—-as you well remember—that if their total sales reached 300,000 cars between August 1. 1914, and August 1. 1915, each purchaser during that period would receive hack a refund of |40.00 to $60,00.) Mr. Ford,” 1 suggested, “is there anything I can say to our people with re¬ gard to the Ford Motor Company’s 300,000 car rebate plan?” “We shall sell the 300,000,” was the quiet reply— and in 11 months, a full month ahead of Au¬ gust 1st’” Then a refund is practically assured?” Yes—barring the totally unexpect¬ ed. We are 50,000 to 75,000 cars behind orders today. Factory and branches are sending out 1,800 daily.” I then said to Mr. Ford: Tf I could make a definite refund statement we would increase our local sales 500 cars 1 “You may say,” was Mr. Ford’s deliberate and significant reply to this—“You may say that we shall pay back to each pur¬ chaser of a Ford car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, barring the un¬ foreseen, the sum of $50. You may say that 1 authorized you to make this state¬ ment!” What can 1 add to the above? $15,000,000 cash coming back to Ford owners! And to prospective Ford owners up to August 1, 1915, it actually means— Ford touring Cars for $490—less the $50 rebate! Ford Runabouts for $440—less the $50 rebate! What is there left for me to say?
