SENIORS IT OIXCIDKXT with the appearance of the 1909 Chinook will occur the disappearance, from college life, of the Class of 1908. To those who have mingled in work and play and rivalry with this class, no eulogies are necessary. To those who have not. as yet, known them, we give the assurance that in the years that are to follow the various members of this organization will so intertwine themselves amongst the undertakings and achievements of our country as to reflect honor upon their Alma Mater and force attention to the vigor and ability of their illustrious class.

Now and then he would reach forth, and with a smile that spoke of deep understanding, touch this one or that one as he passed. This magic touch told that the patriarch had found a knight or lady worthy of his blessing. Time passed, and these chosen ones were drawn together by their common pleasures, ambitions and ideals. They formed themselves into an organization, and were known by their fellows as the “Class of 1909 ' CL Many times they were forced to war with other people who claimed themselves to be the chosen few. At times it seemed that the pretenders must be victorious, yet in the end the “ ’oq’s” ever proved worthy of their trust. CL As the years have slipped away, some of the original tribe have been forced to drop from the ranks, yet the purpose of the Class has never been altered. None have proved so fluent, so well versed in the questions of oratory and debate; none so powerful; so skillful in athletics, and above all, none so to be depended upon in the bigger contest—“life.” 2 9 John Jlishop Allies Davis Houston McCroskey Alice Matlock Vern Gaddis Klizaheth Prior Oliver Matson Win.

Chapman NE score and four months ago there was brought forth in this College a new class, conceived in genius, and dedicated to the proposition that college life is worth while. Now there are gathered together the chronicles of the great classes of this College, that they may stand as a monument of this period, and to see whether a class so conceived and so dedicated, has stood or fallen. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot chronicle the successes of this class. The great deeds it has done, the wonderful class records it has made, and the noble example it has set, have blazoned themselves upon the minds and in the hearts of the people far beyond the power of the chronicler to add or detract. It will he little noted, nor long remembered, what is said here, but in the future life of this class, and the classes that follow, will be seen the nobility, and the sublimity of their example. When, in the coming years, we see this class going on with its phenomenal records, and carrying to its fullest extent the greatness of college life, we will gladly say with them—“1910 forever.” 33 Alice Akin Edgar Ludwig Xcil McNamara Clarence Eaton Edna Carnen ( ' has.

Other departments have preceded it and, doubtless, others will follow, but at the present time, it is ‘‘the latest thing out” ‘‘up-to-date,” and none have excelled it in the past or will excel it in the future, in earnestness, in loyalty, and consecration to the traditions and ideals of ' ‘the College on the Hill.” In function, this department is the “People’s College;” not the technical school of applied science, but a broad department that pre¬ pares one to become later the engineer, the scientist, or the farmer. It is the basic course to the more advanced; in short, it fits the student to he a keener thinker, a stronger man, and a better citizen. The Elementary Scientists” are noted for their good looks and studious habits. In both respects they lead all the other members of the College. 41 Mariel Fulmer Dora Price Neal George Y. C.

Chapman, F.sq.. of Pullman. f EARS ago, before the history of Civil Engineering had taken definite shape, our primitive ancestors made dams of rushes and mud and bridges of fallen trees and twisted fibers. Today, with the introduction of steam and electricity, these projects have de¬ veloped to tremendous proportions. To meet the demand for men to carry forward these under¬ takings the Washington State College offers a strong course in Civil Engineering. Already graduates of our institution have gone forth to reclaim sandy deserts, and to mark highways for our increasing commerce. From their number not a failure has been reported. ' This fact is attested most strongly by the number of calls received annually by our department for men to fill positions of responsibility. A M C JfeC 47 N SO vast a mineral territory ;is that tributary to Spokane there is a dc- mand for men trained and prepared to cope with the problems of “making money out of ore.” To supply this demand the Washington School of Mines, or mining depart¬ ment of the State College of Washington, was organized. While it is only seven years since the first class in mining engineering graduated, there arc those, suc¬ cessful in the practice of the mining profession in Washington. Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Alaska, British Columbia, Mexico and Peru, who look back to the Washington School of Mines as their Alma Mater. Machinery is now being installed for an automatic sampling plant in which the standard types of crushing and comminuting machinery will be used. The larger machines are secured In purchase or gift from the manufacturers direct. The smaller accessory machinery being built hv the students themselves as a part of their mechanical training. A rearrangement of the stamp mill and concentrating plant is in progress, which will make it a purely gravity system. An electrical ore separator or concentrator is also to he installed. To give practical training in actual mining operations a drift will he started at the foot of college hill, in which each student, under proper super¬ vision. will put in several rounds of holes with various types of rock drills, load and fire them, muck out and put in timber. This will serve also to familiarize the student with methods of air com¬ pression and the power consumption of the machines at different pressures. 40 TSX HE Electrical Engineering Department of the College has this year been very active. Some new courses have been offered by the department, and have proved extremely popular. The laboratory facilities have been materially improved by the addition of several new machines, among which are a General Electric induc¬ tion motor, a Westinghouse induction motor, a Crocker Wheeler series, direct current, motor, and an Allis-Chalmers, compound, direct current, generator. Some new instruments have been pur¬ chased and add much to the effective working of the laboratory. Mr. M. K. Akers, from the University of Illinois, has been added to the teaching force of the department. A branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers has been organized, and in other ways the students have manifested an increasing interest in their work. Chief among these may perh aps be mentioned the Electrical and Mechanical Show, conducted, by the students, during the week of the convention of the fnland Empire Teachers ' Association. This show was visited by something like twenty-five hundred people during the two evenings it was opened, and attracted a great deal of attention to the department and to the College. Zoology TJTHE STATE OF WASHINGTON, more varied in its topography than any other state in the Union, affords oppor¬ tunities for the study of Zoology second to none. The incomparable Puget Sound, with its island, its deep and shollow straits, its inland canals; the wooded Cascade and Olympic mountains, with their arctic summits; the humid coast; the desert interior; the sub¬ tropical river bottoms; the treeless prairies, each produces a biota that is as interesting as it is little known. To the forester, the horticulturist, the advanced farmer, this department offers practical aid. To the future student of medicine, to the teacher of science, and to the investigator in social science an insight into Zoological work is a necessity. The equipment of this department enables the student to conduct advanced work. The insect collections are as extensive as any to be found west of the Rocky Mountains. Among the researches that originated here may be cited the effective treatments for the San Jose Scale and the Codling Moth, which are the two most serious pests of the orchard in any part of the world. Botany HE BOTANY DEPARTMENT is one of the most impor- tant departments in the College. It has grown to such an extent during the last few years that it was found necessary to separate it from the Zoology Department, which was formerly con¬ nected with it. Many students not majoring in this department find it necessary to take work, as a certain knowledge of Botany is absolutely neces¬ sary to the different lines of Agriculture, Forestry and other lines of work dealing with plants. Idie graduates of this departments hold some of the very best positions, a number of them being employed by the Department of Agriculture at W ashington, 1). C. This course is well worth the consideration of every student before he decides on his special work. Geology HE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY of the Washington State College, while among the newest of the departments, is well equipped to do the work required. It is well supplied with material for illustrating the work in the different phases of Geology. The collections of minerals, rocks and fossils are large, numbering thousands of specimens, and additions are being made to these con¬ stantly. The department is also well supplied with miscroscopes, relief maps and models of various kinds for work and petrography, physiography and crystallography. There is also a good library in connection with the department. In planning the work of this department three classes of students have been kept in mind—those who are making Geology a special study, those who are taking it as a part of a general education, and the student in Mining Engineering. 53 Agriculture and Horticulture A GRICULTURE is one of the most practical courses of study ' at the Washington State College. It includes in its cur¬ riculum the separate branches of dairying, animal husbandry, horticulture and agronomy. Kach branch is so designed and sup¬ plemented with other courses of the College that a graduate from any of them is prepared for either an instructor in high schools or colleges, or for the management of farms according to the most scientific methods. A student may major in one and elect in each of the other three. Throughout his college course he has the oppor¬ tunity of mixing with farmers in institutes at the College, and is frequently called on to give expert advice. Our graduates find openings in many lines of work, from management of farms to posi¬ tions in the United States Department of Agriculture. 77 he Forestry question has been pronounced by the President of the United States to he the most important internal problem confronting us. It is a self-evident fact that, unless certain radical changes are immediately instituted, the coming generations will he brought face to face with a wood famine such as will he appalling in its far-reaching results. It is true that the health and general prosperity of the people depend far more upon the forests than the gold mines within its borders. Yet, at the present rate of consumption, there will he no forests left in these United States in thirty years. Since the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers our forests have been wantonly wasted. Our forest resources are great, but not inexhaustable, as a glance at the rapidly increasing lumber prices will prove. It is time for the national, state and municipal governments to acquire the few remaining forests and institute scientific and conservative methods in their management such as will guarantee to all the people a permanent wood supply, pure water, adequate rainfall and wildwood retreats where the diseased and weary may rest and find peace of mind. 55 N B nr T3THE Department of Economic Science and History is interested in a phase of life which is daily assuming a greater and greater importance. History, Political Science, Sociology and Economics all are concerned with the life of man in society, and every class of citizens is interested in the solution of these problems. The prospective lawyer finds here his best preparation ; the future business man needs to lay the foundation of his success in a study of the theory of business life and its conditions; to those entering other professions than the law, the work of this department offers the opportunity to gain a breadth of view which is essential to progress; and to the future citizen, whatever his walk in life, a study of the problems of citizenship is of greatest value. 56 Department of Education ECTION SIX of the Organic Act creating the State College of Washington (the Agricultural College, School of Science, and Experiment Station) states: “The objects of said College shall be to train teachers of physical science and thereby further the application of the principles of physical science to indus¬ trial pusuits.” This state statute was further supplemented March 4th, 1907, when President Roosevelt signed the “Nelson Amendment” to the Morrill Act, which gradually increases the amount of money from $25,000 to $50,000 to be received by the College from this fund. The clause relating to the Department of Education is as follows: “Provided, That said colleges may use a portion of this money for providing courses for the special preparation of instructors for teaching the elements of agriculture and the mechanic arts.” From the beginning of its work, the College has offered such necessary courses to its students, the courses being given by various members of the faculty and in connection with different depart¬ ments. The Department of Education gathers all these courses into one department, lengthens some of them, extends the work some¬ what to meet the requirements made necessary by the development of new courses in the College and new conditions in the state, and puts all the work of the department into the hands of instructors specially prepared for such work. The ever increasing demand of the ' state for high school teachers, specialists, supervisors, and school administrators, and the number of our students who go out as such, makes such a department imperative. Students specializing in this department will give much attention to the content, pedagogical value, methods, etc., in Domestic Economy, Manual Training. Agriculture, and other subjects of the curriculum. Equal attention will be given to the professional training of college students who specialize in other departments. About twenty of our students are now teaching in the high schools of the state and twenty or twenty-five more are going out for such work next year. 57 Q i | 2a ■ O o (J7JJ «Ii5 1153 o ax 11 HE DEPARTS! EXT of the English language and literature Vbf furnishes the English work required of all students for graduation and a four-year course for such as desire to make English their major study. There are also several elective courses. The department schedule of studies contains, besides the required courses in English, much language work and history and offers many opportunities for elective work also in other departments. Consid¬ ering that all students who pass through both the elementary and the collegiate department are required to take eight semesters’ work of English before graduation, it will be seen that, on the average, more work is done by each student in English than in any other department of the College. c The work of the English Department has been planned with a three-fold object—skill in the practical use of the English language in speaking and writing, an appreciative understanding of the mas¬ terpieces of British and American literature, and familiarity with the history of the English language and literature from the earliest times to the present. The course of study is varied and compre¬ hensive, and it is the constant effort of the instructors to make it both thorough and practical. The course in English is recom¬ mended to all students who expect to teach, to enter on a professional career, or to do literary work. 59 Modern Languages jC VER since the founding of the institution we have had a very W efficient Department of Modern Languages, under the direc¬ tion of Chas. A. Barry. Mr. Barry has now a number of assistants who help carry on the work of instructing students in German, French, Spanish and Scandinavian. There are two general objects in view in this department. The one is to train students majoring in this department in the proper and efficient use of the Modern Languages. The other is to give the scientific students a sufficient practical knowledge to enable them to read the leading works along their scientific investigations in the languages of foreign writers. non 5 ] Latin A COLLEGE should fit its students, not only to make a living, but also to make a life. We are glad that our College offers not only those courses which are of immediate material benefit, but those which furnish inspiration and refreshment, which broaden and deepen the inner life. Among these courses none are more valuable than those in Latin, for they transplant us from our own narrow spheres to the splendid ancient world of Rome’s action and achieve¬ ment. They link us with the past—their roots strike deep down in history. The Latin classics will never die, for they contain too much of the best the world has ever produced—too much that is noble and beautiful and uplifting. In too many things do they still offer the highest standards ever reached. We feel sure that as the department becomes older, more and more students will be brought under the perennial charm of the ancient masterpieces. 60 fismesGjG CG63X6M. HE Domestic Economy Department has risen in five years to such importance and dimen¬ sions that our last Legislature saw fit to appropriate $30,000 for the purpose of providing it with a build¬ ing of its own. This is the only building in the United States devoted exclusively to this science, and our College may well be proud of the women who are raising this most important branch of learn¬ ing to the position of dignity and importance which it so richlv deserves. ■ m JTH the beginning of the next school year the Department of Pharmacy will be permanently located in the East W ing, second floor, of the new Recitation Building. With the increased room and facilities thus afforded the department promises a much more rapid growth than in the past. The success of the department has been very marked, and its graduates have demonstrated that they are fully equipped for practical work. The increasing demand for graduates is much greater than the supply. The outlook for Pharmacy, from a business view, can readily be seen from the success of its graduates. Of the 85 graduates, 33 arc owners of pharmacies, and, including the allowance for their salaries, are netting from $2000 to $7500 a year. One-third of the remainder are managers of established drug stores at salaries ranging from $75.00 to $125.00 monthly. The remainder are mostly clerking al salaries ranging from $60.00 to $100. Jb a month. There is a prospect of a very large enrollment for the coming year, and the department will be in shape to do better work than ever. 63 (j. F. Adams II. O. Henick Robert Rhea A. C.

Spangle SENIOR PHARMACISTS Turner Turneure Miss Kylonen Alcon Wcstacott Philips Bromo Yes, Bromo was a typical rook—the quadruple extract. Fresh from the tall timber and cranberry swamps of Western Washington, he had come out into the big, big world to see and learn. What would I not give for a picture of him as he ambled up the walk toward the Ad. building on that September morning! As 1 looked there came to my mind the recollec¬ tion of a day in my childhood when 1 had stuffed a suit with building blocks and laughed at the figure formed. A lighted cigarette protruded from one corner of the diminutive head, and the ashes from it fell down, down, down to—Oh, mother, what feet. I stepped back and drew a long breath. What would come to our college next? Well, he enrolled and went to work. He did pretty well in his studies, played a little foot ball, took track work, debated, and then—he began to take eampustry. Yes. that’s what he did, and that was the long and the short of it. I sat up and began to lake notice. I debated against him and came out second best. Just for practice he made the Montana team, took the Stearns medal, and led the Whitman team. Then, single-handed, he out-talked a lady and won his case hands down. Fellows, you can ' t always tell what’s in a rook. the suppression of diseases in animals which are transmissible to man ; by protecting the general public from unwholesome food prod¬ ucts, in the form of milk and meat ; by bis action on various boards of health; by his work in connection with the recent pure food law; by preventing the spread of contagious diseases among our domestic animals; by his conscientious work, protecting the health of army horses at home and abroad; by preventing tbe entrance of animal plagues from foreign lands, and by eradicating troublesome diseases now existing in this country. He has ample opportunity to satisfy this ambition. Is it any wonder, with so vast a field unexplored, with such unbounded opportunities offered, with such an excellent opportunity to do a life work, devoted to a cause so essential to the welfare of the nation, that we find, in the Veterinary Department of the Washing¬ ton State College, a body of thirty strong, steady, temperate, indus¬ trious young men preparing themselves to perfect the splendid work- no w in its infancy? 66 W.

Ferguson The Military Department ME WORK of the Military Department of the Washington State College is practical to the point of monotony. The object of this department is to prepare trained men for service in the event of war ; to inculcate in the impetuous youth a spirit of self- control and respectful subordination; to physically improve, by systematic drills, those inclined to shirk all exercise, those inclined to carry one form of exercise to excess, those who carelessly slouch, and those who hold a mistaken idea of what a correct set-up and gen¬ eral development may mean; to teach men to teach others and to con¬ trol inferiors with mild, yet firm discipline; to teach men to work to¬ gether, making personal inclinations yield to the accomplishment of a common end, and finally, to help every department in College, to further the aims of the College, and, in its own small sphere, to discharge its duties to the nation. 69 First Regiment W.

With the removal of the Domestic Science Department to its new building the entire three floors of Morrill Hall will he utilized by classes in Chemistry. The aim of the department is not only to foster a love for pure science, but to train science teachers and to produce skilled workers in applied Chemistry. All the analytical work under the state pa re food and drug laws is done in the departmental laboratories, and thus frequent opportunity is given advanced students to familiarize themselves with practical methods. (Graduates of the department are at work in all parts of the West as teachers, industrial chemists and food analysists in the government service. 7S S n, c l£S3£ W. B.

It is. however, quite impos¬ sible to gain the proper appreciation unless you “come and hear and are convinced.” We must, therefore, content ourselves with quoting one of the best musical critics, who as¬ serts that the “Musical School at the Washington State College is beyond question one of the most excellent in the entire United States.” 74 “Bossy” Waller (With due apologies). We ' ve many men of weight in our great West. And some of ' em are wise an’ some are not ; The legislators, citizens and profs. But our faculty’s the finest of the lot. We never gel a ha’porth ' s change of them; They sit behind their desks and watch our ponies, They cut our records up at their exams And they issue “leaves of absence” for our liomies So ’ere’s to our old State College, an’ to Pullman town, its ' ome. And the faculty that run it and our President in Rome; We gives them their certificate and if you want to sign You can come and have a romp with them whenever you incline. We’ll take our ehanst among the Palouse hills; There ain’t a mountain that we dasn’t climb; We’ll build a city, ship or lock canal. Or we’ll excavate a Colorado mine. But all we ever got in railroad camps Was pop to what old “Bossy” makes us swalter. Some other men are great, the papers say. But man to man. they can’t stand up to Waller. So ere’s to you, “Bossy” Waller—pray pardon in fra dig — Your orders was to break us. an’ of course you went and did. We’ve tried your every temper, but we’ve always found you fair. And for all we ' ve said agin you we know that you arc “square.” ’E ’asn’t got no graces of his own, ’E ’asn’t gt t no medals nor rewards. So we must certify the skill ' e’s shown In watching us while “Prexie” was abroad. ' E pounces on all evils in the school With ’is ’ospital and disciplining gear, A busy day with Waller on the rush Would last you, gentle reader, for a year! So ’ere’s to you. Mr. Waller, for your friends is many score. Though occasionally our temper makes us think that we are sore. But “yea and nay’s your go-pel and we ' ll call the bargain fair. For if you ha c controlled us you have always done it square. ' E rushes at the microbes when we’re sick. And before we know Vs got us in our bid : ’E’s all bard sense and orders while you live. But lie’ll be the first to mourn you when you ' re dead ' E’s rough and gruff and may call you a liar. And give you some advice you sorely need. But when you ' re sick he don’t know how to lire In helping you and home-folks hearts that bleed. So ‘ere’s to you, “Bossy” Waller, and your ’ome in Pullman town: You ' re a man and friend worth having, though you do not like it know An’ ’ere’s to you, Mr. Waller, with your ’arick ’cad of ‘air— If you ever need a friend, sir. every student will he there! (JJlutiB ( rgamjattmui In a student body of over thirteen hundred enrolled; in an insti¬ tution having ' over one hundred members on its teaching force, it is very natural that there should arise a number of minor organiza¬ tions in which kindred spirits may follow the bent of their own inclinations to better and more agreeable advantage. In the follow¬ ing pages some of the more representative of these organizations are mentioned, together with the particular object which each may seem to have in view. To the casual observer these objects will appear widely divergent. Some are social, some are literary, some are scientific, while others are musical, religious, oratorical, or athletic, as the case may be. Notwithstanding their apparently diversified interests, however, they are all focused on the same ultimate object, namely, the advancement and betterment of the institution and membership of the W.

Next to the Senior Class it is the most important organization in school, and with the exception of the Freshman Class, it is the only one to which just anyone can belong. The purposes of the Students Assembly are to conduct foot ball rallys, to persuade sick people to go to hospital, to pay the debts of all other student organizations, and to elect officers for each ensuing year. The motto of this organization is “Do as Prexie says;” their emblem, Red Tape. Any one who desires may become a member of this most excellent body, and may remain in active membership during good behavior, or unless he “flunks” and cannot get reinstated. 79 Athletic Association Harold Davis W.

Shares of stock are sold at $1.00 apiece. Persons may obtain several shares, hut the holding of shares in any case entitles the holder to but one vote in the Association. Any and all members of the student body may become shareholders. The Association has general supervision of all athletic contests, and while the coaches and trainers are directly engaged by the College authorities, yet the Association pays a considerable sum towards the maintenance of their salaries. In the course of a college year a large amount of business is transacted by this organization. Besides being an effective head for the handling of athletics, it furnishes opportunity for a number of students to gain valuable and practical commercial experience. 80 Oratorical and Debating Association J.

' The class and college spirit is fostered by a number of contests. The Freshmen and Sophomores are given a chance to measure their intellectual capacity and forensic ability first in the inter-class debate. A little later in the year the losing class has a chance to play even in the Freshmen-Sophomore Oratorical Contest. A gold medal is awarded to the winner of this battle. The collegiate or inter¬ class contest decides who shall represent his college in the inter¬ collegiate oratorical. The association also has charge of four debates with other institutions each year, in which it is possible for twelve men to represent the College and demonstrate to the public that our institution has fitted them for one of the important phases of life’s duties. The association is a worthy one and is accomplish¬ ing the object for which it was intended. The association has had its defeat and its victories, but whether defeat or victory, the train¬ ing is worth while for the individual. Si Staff Ralph F. Cowgill, ’o8 . __ Editor Floyd Y.

Of the usefulness of the present publication, we dare say nothing, and must be content with remarking that as a rule the Chinook is the most valuable and lasting of all college souvenirs. We believe that, without undue boastfulness, we may assert that the State College Chinook will bear comparison with the annuals of other colleges, and tends to uphold the high standard of excellence which our institution has established for itself in all its varied spheres of activity. 84 The most helpful part of college life is the contact with fellow students and with faculty. Where can this be as keenly felt as in the Young Women’s Christian Association? In its members the new girl should find sympathetic friends in the hour of lonliness or sor¬ row. for it is its purpose to be helpful to all girls. Young Men’s Christian Association Higher education has for its aim the development of individual¬ ity—the development of a man in his intellectual, social, physical, mental, moral and spiritual nature. He who neglects any of these various aspects of his life will not become a “rounded man.” The college is equipped to educate its members along all of these lines except the spiritual, and this is where the work of the Young Men’s Christian Association begins. The work and value of the organ¬ ization can therefore hardly be overestimated. The principle means employed by the Y. M. C. A. to this end of spiritual development are Sunday afternoon religious meetings and classes for the encouragement of personal daily Bible study. During the past year nearly one hundred men have been enrolled in the Association Bible classes, and the outlook for the coming- year looks brighter than ever. The Association seeks to reach men through avenues of material assistance. At the opening of the college year an Information Bureau is conducted, which assists new students in finding room¬ ing accomodations, and leads them through the labyrinthine mys¬ teries of enrollment. Throughout the year an Employment Bureau is maintained. ' I ' lle primary object of Christian Association work is to lead to Christ men who have not already taken up the cross, and to bind closer to Him those who have. 87 £ ? 3 5 So § 5 “ o -X c l;U!= g = gj I.

They have formed a society for the purpose of carrying on literary discussions, attempt¬ ing to debate, and, now and then, even try oratory. The “Webs arc stage artists of the highest rank. Their annual college plav is always the most striking feature in the theatrical line to which our people may go. We are pleased to hear that their star actor Mr. Dickson has “signed with the Knickerbocker Theater Com¬ pany, one of the leading companies of the world, while Ray Baker is seriously contemplating accepting a similar position with the Pullman Auditorium Company. We always did hope for great things of Ray, and the Annual extends its best wishes to him and his other soeietv mates. 90 The Roosevelt Debating Society The Roosevelt Debating Society, as the name would indicate, is the one strenuous organization of its kind in the college. It meets early and often, and its sessions are always full of interest and en¬ thusiasm. The Society was organized three years ago under the direction of Professor Timblin, who directs its work. All students of the De¬ partment of Elementary Science are eligible to membership. The Society has furnished to the college since its existence more college debators than all the other clubs combined. Of all the men who made places on the Varsity teams this year five have been mem¬ bers of the Roosevelt Society. One of the noteworthy features of this Society is a periodic session devoted to the study and practice of parliamentary law. Qi j. Stendal V. M. Eager J. 1 ). Cline. President C. R. Cline I ' .

All students enrolled in the two and four year courses are members of the society, and at present it has a mem¬ bership of about fifty. They hold semi-monthly meetings for the purpose of keeping in touch with the work of their profession by “composing papers ' ' on such subjects as “Pharmaceutical Legisla¬ tion,” “Practical Pharmacy,” etc., and by reading and discussing various standard works on Pharmacy. Xor do they confine themselves entirely to the sober side of life, for the Pharmics are but human and, like most human beings, they are strong believers of the old adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Consequently they frequently hold jollifications among themselves in the form of feeds and parties. The Society is slowly but surely growing in strength as the size of the Department is increasing: and under the skillful management of Professor Watt its success is alwavs assured. 97 The Horticulture Club The Horticulture Club was organized for the benefit of all those interested in horticulture. Its great object is to take up and discuss the numerous topics which cannot be covered in the class room. Fruits are brought to each meeting, carefully studied, scientifically described, and heartily sampled. The great improvements and ex¬ periments carried on in this work are carefully watched and reported at each meeting through the horticultural news. The Club is active and deeply interested in impressing upon all the great necessity of thoroughness in order to compete with competition in the fast de¬ veloping horticultural industry. The social advantages give en¬ couragement and renewed effort to every member, and the good effects of the Club are prominent factors in strengthening the de¬ partment. 99 Alumni Members 1907 Sophie Ormsbee Florence Knepper Olga Todd Mabel Baker Nolle Jones Maud Putnam Active Members Pearl Flood 1908 Beryl Flood Elizabeth Prior 1909 Edna Kelley El mi 11a White Mizae Noonan Edna Carninc 1910 Margaret Brislawn Rose Martin Eulalie Rands Dora Gombert 1911 Orpha lluxtable Marion Flood Arminta Williamson Absent Member Emma Harmeling 102 j % Active Members E.

And while this may l e carried to excess, it is on the whole a very fortunate condition. The constant endeavor of the Washington State College is to make its athletics a field, not only for the development of physical power and courage, but a training ground in the virtues of courtesy, manliness and forbearance. We need say nothing in praise of the records of our men—they speak for themselves—it only remains for us to assert that a finer body of men does not exist than the ‘AW men of the Washington State College. 109 Foot Ball Records, 1907 W.

If you should stroll down to the river some evening when the sunset is all aglow, and place one of the prettiest of those shells to your car it will remind you in its own sweet way of a group of college buildings that crown a far west¬ ern hill, and of one happy evening spent there in the spring of nineteen-seven. It will whisper quietly of the evergreens that hung like a fairy bower from ceiling and balcony, and from among which twinkled the lights of so many stars of joy and hope, li will tell you how the evening passed, not as other evenings, for the moments tripped lightly by through the measures of the two- step, Baltimore and waltz, until the strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” died away into eternity and the happy throng passed out from under the gentle charm of music of drooping boughs and twinkling lights—out into the night and on to¬ wards another day. Then as you lay aside the pearly shell and your college memories slip fur¬ ther and further back behind the mystic veil, it may be that there will come to you a feeling that surely an invisible hand will some day lift that veil and reveal it all again. (Eomnmtmmmt When the school year, with all its work and its pleasures, its sorrows and its joys draws to a close, commencement comes to crown it, as the victor is crowned with the wreath of olive leaves. Year after year this happens; the events differ only as the shade or tinge of the leaves that are intertwined in the wreath. Commencement week of 1907 will long be remembered for its brightness and the pleasures it gave. On Sunday the week was begun by Dr. Frank M. White, of Chicago, who delivered the baccalaureate address. The words of kind encouragement and the gentle advice to bind our forces into a bundle of hope and energy and to cast them on the side of right and manhood were impressive and helpful, espe¬ cially to those who were about to step from the gang plank of preparation onto a new and dangerous ground. On class night the Seniors presented “She Stoops to Conquer” in a way that won the applause of the audience and did credit to the last united work of the class of the green and white. Dr. Oscar J. Craig, of the University of Montana, delivered the commence¬ ment address, and the class of 1907 said farewell to its favorite haunts and stalled out across the field of life, each member in his separate path. These paths may cross and recross at different points ere they reach the valley beyond the hill, but never again will the fifty be as one. Though the broad path of their life as a college class ended with com¬ mencement. yet the memory floats on as a tender shadow to shield them from the glaring sun of a practical world. 125 a o cj— = d Amid the hurry and rush of the customary duties of life it is well to pause occasionally for a little diversion. 1 ' his is why, perhaps, when the busy student glances back over a year of work he sees dotted here and there along the path bright spots, all green and flowery, where the memory loves to rest. The student of the Washington State College may find during a year several such attractive haunts for memory. There are the class parties, the sleigh rides, the Promenade and the Glee; hut most attractive of all. to many at least, is the annual military ball, for somehow on this occasion the spirit of the past seems to clasp hands with the spirit of today, as might a loving father in a tender endeavor to arouse in his child a hit of the honor for which he had fought. This feeling was lightened on the evening of February 22 by the tasteful decorations of the Armory. Each of the seven companies decorated a special part of the Armory with flags, firearms and evergreens, and in one corner was an artificial campfire, over which hung a great iron kettle, filled with delicious punch. The eye had scarcely noted these things when it was drawn to the grand march, led by Colonel Scott and Mrs. Mitchel. Only men in uniform were allowed to enter this march, thus strengthening the delusion that some beautiful colonial festivity had been handed down to 11s. It is certain that if some revolutionary father could have been present as the last strains of Home, Sweet Home” died away he would have murmured, It is well.” 126 JFrpshmmt-i njjhmttnrp The social affair of greatest interest during the season to the classes of 1910 and 1911 was the Freshman-Sophomore Glee. All classes had long been preparing for their part in the evening’s entertainment, and on the night of the third of April they all assembled in the Armory, each determined to win the much-coveted pennant. The Juniors came first and sang their song of Auld Lang Syne in a wistful, faraway manner. The Sophomores came next in true boisterous Sophomore spirit, wound a serpentine back and forth in a manner that showed thorough training. Then they gave their song, keeping their eyes fixed intently upon “Monty” as he waved his little baton. Next a serenade was sweetly rendered by the Seniors in their usual dig¬ nified manner. Lastly, but by no means least, came the Freshmen. And they did come, and come, and come, till finally all were in their places. Then this class sang a song that filled their little hearts with satisfaction and the minds of the audience with the thought that this was the most remarkable class in the history of the institution. Awaiting the .judges’ decision, special music was given, ' flic judges, influ¬ enced possibly by the Sophomores’ serpentine, rendered their decision in favor of that class. Dancing concluded the evening’s entertainment and all acknowledged that the Freshman and Sophomore classes were ideal hosts. 3 pc — Z ' ne c r Z7 e v ' rs i e 127 S t v, V 1— Surprises!

After supper we lighted our pipes and, reclining on our blankets, gave our¬ selves up to the keen enjoyment of the night. ' The infinite peace of the October evening, the mystery of the looming forest of gloomy pines and the wild beauty of the silver river, roaring among its rocks and rapids, limbed the words upon our lips and lifted our hearts to song within us. Night had settled over the forest. From the woods across the river came the long hunting-call of the wolves. Then the quiet was broken by a whisper in the grass as a slight wind stirred the air. Gradually it increased, until the thousand harp strings of the pines were all singing the sad night dirges of the wilderness. Far to the west a star shot, leaving behind it a path of white fire that slowly melted into the grav-hlue of the night sky. Then above the eastern mountain the full, golden circle of the autumn moon arose and sailed high among the clustered stars, paling to silver. The splendor of its radiance changed the river into a stream of molten silver, save where some rapid fretted its gliding surface into the likeness of drifted snow. Intently we listened. The forest stirred with a vague unrest and we seemed to hear the gentle breathing of the sleeping trees. Far away a wolf howled till the air thrilled with the sound. Nearer by, on the river, a mudhen was giving her throbbing cry, while an owl in a dead tree near at hand called his ringing “Who-oo-oo-oo” to his hunting mate. These and the myriad other voices of the wilderness were calling us to rest. M3 IX VACATION TIMIi tl.IMlII.NG MOUNT HOOD 5 ( p “ft ■� ? I? 7°- 26— Professor Waller assumes the control of affairs.

A Beautiful Music Desk One of the very pleasing events of the year in the Department of Music was the presentation of a music stand to Prof. Strong at Christmas. The scheme had been growing for a year in the minds of some of the older players in both Band and Orchestra. At the last rehearsal before the holidays the Conductor was asked to meet a stranger in the front hall. When he re¬ turned his old iron stand was replaced by a magnificent music pulpit of fancy designs in solid brass and mahogany. One look of delight and surprise, and Prof. Strong raised bis baton and said : “Play—only music can express the emotions I feel.” YOU.NC AND I’NS()I H ISTICATKD The West Oh, for the West when the West was West! With its toil and its dangers, too; Stern times that rejected all but the best To fight the battle through. When the mountains reared their bulwarks of stone To frighten the traveler back. When the prairies roared as the columns of fire Swept over the beaten track. The prairie wolves in their bone strewn cells Howled fierce scorn for their prey. And the pioneer crouched in his lonely camp. Fearing savager foes than they. All day he followed the fatal sign Of cities he might not reach. The burned path faded before his eyes And no one was there to teach. In that stern day of that stern time Of terrible right and wrong The heart of the West called out to the race For the strongest of its strong. And they who answered the challenge then Learned well how to do and dare � In the bitter toil and loneliness That they met and conquered there. 165 Bf.lv, L. Ball. Supply and Demand W i) Miss Fern Healy Winner of ihe Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest The law in reference to supply and demand formulated and expounded by political economists meets with general acceptance. Before this law found ver¬ bal expression, or possibly mental formulation, it existed as a working doctrine in the markets of the world. Speaking in general terms, it has ever been the desire of the producer to stimulate demand for his commodity and at the same time exercise utmost diligence that the market be not glutted; in fact, be not fully supplied, so that demand be continued and augmented. These phenomena are so commonly understood and so generally acted upon that we regard them as being entirely natural, while in fact they are in opposition to nature and are the outgrowth of an artificial and selfish civilization. Nature is prodigal, and in a sense, wasteful. She is careless of her com¬ modities. Site keeps her gardens, though no foot presses its paths. When there was no hand to pluck her ripened fruits, unhesitatingly she cast them on the earth, and from her fertile matrix sprung new forms of strength and beauty. She grew her mighty forests, through whose “dim aisles” no wood¬ man walked, and against whose massive trunks no axe was lifted. She clothed t66 her plains and valleys with grasses lush and sweet, and though few were the beasts that enjoyed her unstinted benificencc, yet the recurring seasons wit¬ nessed her limitless prodigality. Her Niagaras thundered on unharnessed ; her rivers turned no wheel. Nature does not attempt an equilibrium. It is the joy of Nature to be lavish. Her “cup runneth over.” From this normal condition of superabundance it would seem that we are approaching or have already entered upon a time when the earth can no longer provide for her children. The conditions of the Orient are being reproduced in the Occident. For centuries Europe has heard the cry of the hungry, and today the cry is familiar in America. Can it be true that the earth is overburdened? In the same ratio that population increases must poverty increase? Does the race face an age of hunger with its inevitable sequence—complete degeneracy? Today one-eighth of the population of the United States is underfed, insuffi¬ ciently clothed, badly housed. What will it be tomorrow? Is there no escape from the trend of the times? Is deterioration inevitable? If so. is it by reason of an exhausted earth or by reason of a racial degen¬ eracy? The earth is yet young and virile and there is no reason for fearing speedy exhaustion. The eartli is not failing. We do not as yet know the mighty response that is awaiting effort put in harmony with natural laws. Want is not occasioned by failing earth, but by failing manhood. It remained for a civilization actuated by greed of gold and lust for power to lay restraining hands upon earth’s beneficence and place fictitious values upon her bounties. It remained for avaricious aggregations of unnatural men to lock¬ up the coal measures while children sat by cheerless hearthstones on which the last ember had blackened and died—from which the spirit of the fire had fled. It remained for social vampires to stop the flow of oil from earth’s vast reser¬ voirs and demand from their less fortunate fellows ransom from darkness. It remained for those who would gamble in breadstuffs to beat the bounteous bosom of earth, crying, ‘Thou yieklest too much wheat,” and even while they spoke millions of their fellows between Sandy Hook and Golden Gate were fam¬ ishing for bread. If the earth is still capable of supporting its increasing population, if hun¬ ger is not chargeable to the poverty of the soil, then we must seek elsewhere for the causes of want—of demand that is not supplied. There are but two realms into which we may enter with our query. If matter answers it is not in me, then we must turn to the realm of mind and spirit. It was said of old that “The race is not to the swift—the battle not to the strong —but looking upon life from a materialistic viewpoint, it would appear 167 that the words are false. But one must change his viewpoint, gaining the higher ground where gold is not the measure of power; where wealth is not, nor can be, the pass key to the things worth while—the realm of the moral and intellectual. A fable relates that the owner of a well was greatly distressed because the water failed. In his sorrow he consulted a witch, who curtly replied, “Take the toad from the hole. Upon investigation he found that a toad had crept into the opening of the vein, fitting so snugly as to effectually cut off the How of the water. The cause discovered, the remedy was simple, it is in the realm of spirit and mind where we find the “toad in the hole —here is the crux of the matter. Perhaps it will not he denied that the natural resources of America are unexcelled by any other country. What measures of coal 1 What reservoirs of oil ! What mountains of mineral ! What vast forests! What mighty water power! What immensity of agricultural domain! And this splendid heritage is the property of the American people, not the property of presidents, governors, judges or legislators, but the property of all the people. These vast physical resources have been for the past twenty-five years slip¬ ping with an alarming rapidity into the hands of a few conscienceless men who are called the captains of industry, who control produce and transportation, de¬ stroy competition, force the small tradesman to the wall and dole out the neces¬ sities of life to the common people at such rates as to impoverish the already poor and further enrich themselves, who are already fabulously rich. Coal barons control the output and the price of coal. Boards of trade dictate the prices of our cereals. Political bosses, bossed by captains of industry, decide the quantity, quality and price of the water that our great cities consume. It is wealth that is destroying our forests; it was wealth that laid its rapacious hand on the beauty of the Palisades; it is wealth that would despoil Niagara of its grandeur and sublimity. It is wealth that, by the aid of perjured officers of the law, evades the payment of just taxes, while poverty pays the last farthing. It is wealth that buys legislation and legislators, and by advanced prices forces the people to pay the account. It is wealth that builds colleges, universities, and even theological seminaries out of the money gained by the putting to death of small competitors. It is wealth that sells steel rails and nails in Liverpool at a lower rate than they can he bought in Pittsburg or Chicago; it is wealth that appropriated vast areas of public lands and crowded the humble poor into the narrow canyons or unhealthy swamp land. Combinations of vast wealth are today a menace to the liberties for which our forefathers fought to the death. There is another matter that should engage attention, which from a moral standpoint may be termed maladministration of national funds. We beli eve that it will not be denied that the national revenues should be used for internal improvement—the dredging of waterways—the drainage of vast areas of swamp lands which will prove of marvelous fertility. Since England launched the Dreadnaughl there has been, as Park Benjamin stated it, a “shout for big ships ' Our navy must be superior in size and num¬ ber to those of our foreign enemies. England built her Dreadnaughl that she might drive us off of the Atlantic. Japan is ready to sink our fleet in the Pacific, capture our island possessions, bombard our coasts and make the United States an annex to the kingdom of the Mikado. France regrets the sale of Louisiana—build big ships; Germany is envious of our commerce—build big ships; we are no longer fearing the “Russian Bear ’ but build big ships. War may occur at any time—we have no coal reserve for our navy; $1,651,- 058 is needed annually for naval target practice; we should have annually for practice work 200 torpedoes at $5,000 each. The navy demands $1,596,000 worth of reserve ammunition. We should have possibly ten “Dreadnothings with which to scare our numerous foes. These big sea lighters will cost us $io.occ.- cco each, hut let us not hesitate—America is rich. The Fifty-ninth Congress has just made appropriations aggregating $1,005,244,468. It is estimated the year iyo8 will face a deficit of $100,000,000. We owe $38,000,000 for sum- marine war vessels, and we do not know that they are, in case of war, capable of use. For our torpedo boats we have no torpedoes and we have no torpedo factory. The conditions existing in our war material are, from a war view¬ point, surely appalling. But the demand is that civilization no longer occupy the war viewpoint. The demand is that there he no further increase in destruc¬ tive enginery, hut a stated limit with a view to the gradual and finally com¬ plete disarmament of Christendom. The demand is for men who believe that it is no longer necessary that in national and international affairs the sword he the arbiter. Civilization needs men who live so justly that they do not see a lurking foe in every shadow fall¬ ing across their pathway. Men of so pure motives that they are not even sus¬ picious of the motives of others; men who recognize that civic righteousness is a surer defense than armies and navies, and that, unless that civic righteousness obtains, armies and navies are hut stubble and chaff. Men who read aright the history of nations, ascertaining that the vast wealth and mighty armies have ever been powerless to defend against the external enemy when internal right¬ eousness is decadent. In every phase of life there is a demand for men, not mascots; common men, who refuse to follow at the heels of the political boss, who refuse to be 169 bought and sold in party shambles; common men, who so understand and value their birthright that they cannot be tempted with a mess of party pottage; com¬ mon men who will break with their parly rather than support corrupt men and evil measures. The narrow local politician must be transformed into a man of such magnitude that he can hold in his enlarged vision more than ward, city or state; the limit of his horizon must be the length and breadth of his country. The members of our legislative bodies—state and national—must have as a motto, not my constituency, hut my country. The men who represent us in our foreign relations—our ambassadors, our consuls, diplomats—must be men noted not so much for their shrewdness as for their integrity—men who will scorn to take advantage of the ignorance or weakness of another nation ; men whose motto is, not my country, hut my world. The demand is for men like unto Moses, who will lead the people out of the Egypt of present social and economic conditions, transmuting the base metals of war into the gold of peace, making in the midst of men an Eden in which flourishes the tree of life. Men of deep sympathies, of broad vision, who can see that the trend of the times is away from bloody barbarism to the “fed¬ eration of the race—the parliament of man.” What the people demand, under God, shall come to pass. Solitude Thou sweet eternal solitude, thy realm is the woodland ways To me so dear. Thy praise is sung through forest glades by murmuring brooks I love to hear. 1 ‘hy sadder vespers softly breathed by vernal zephyrs through the trees, So sweetly sad. Thy joyous tunes are blithely sung hv winged warblers of the sky So gayly clad. Xo hitter thoughts shall e’er invade thy beauteous realm of calm delight But noble thought. For noble art thy teaching, and with what majesty are taught. They know ye not. Who call thy realm a wilderness, thou art a joy serene, I cherish thee. Thou teacher of fond hopes and beauteous thoughts, a soul’s sweet paradise Thou art to me. 170 OTTO I). BURNS Winner of the Freshman-Sopho¬ more Oratorical Contest. The Bells George L. Wait.

Jack ' s Mascot by Arminta Williamson It was dusk as Jack strode lip the cinder path with a straight white line around his mouth and a determined till to his chin. “To think that they didn’t trust me—J gave them my word of honor that the thesis I handed in was all my own, and never before have I been doubted. I will show them. I will!— Oh, I could stand all this if my mother was only here to put her hand on my shoulder and tell me that she trusted me and that it would all come out all right.” Ilis mutterings suddenly ceased at the sight of a tiny figure crouched on the steps of the “fiat.” house. The golden head was heavy, and one dirty fist clutched the fur of a little yellow dog. “What in thunder!—Can this—Hey there, sonny, don’t you think you are out sort of late?” Slowly the little fel¬ low woke up, rubbing his eyes in a dazed way. “Honest, mister. I’ll go ’way. I didn’t meanler stay so long—1 got so tired and so hungry a-huntin’ for mine nuivver l-I-I couldn’t go no more. ’.Sides, we walked just tons of miles. Peoples don’t like to have little boys on their porches, ’cause they runned me away when I wanted to sit down.” “Come, tell me your name and where you live and I’ll take you home to your own door-step.” “I ain’t got no name hut Uncle Pluck, and no door-step at all. Sunny- Saint and me have got just one weensy. weensy room, and Sunny-Saint. she ' s my muvver, makes all the fings to eat, and I stayed home and tooked care of Shaggy so’s she could earn money’s; hut Sunny-Saint got so sick yesterday and they tooked her away, and I jes can’t find her at all—no muvver nor nulhing.” The big, hot tears began to make inroads down the little brown cheek, and Jack gathered him up in his arms and said: “Never mind, sonny; I’m going to take you in to supper and then tomorrow we’ll try and find your mother. Now, Uncle Pluck, don’t—don’t cry, ’cause I’ll be good to you. Come along, no y; we’ll go in to supper.” The youngster paused and looked at the floor: “1 likes you, but I can’t go in ’thout Shaggy, and I ' m jes awful hungry, too.” All right, then; anything to keep peace in the family; we’ll take Shaggy in with us and he can have lots to eat. Up you go! Maybe we can find cake and jam and jelly and ice cream. Gee! won’t we have a foxy time?” Pluck ' s eyes grew bigger and bigger at the prospect, and he consented to go in. In the living room sat an unusually quiet group of boys, resentful and dazed at the thought of Jack’s being refused graduation from the college he had served so well and so honorably. Me was a favorite among all bis college mates and was es¬ pecially loved by these boys—his fraternity brothers. During his four years he had been a leader in everything that sta nds for good, clean college life, and his thesis had, for a long time, been the subject of frequent conversation, only to be turned down by the faculty on the grounds that it had been copied from the work of a Harvard man. It was a surprise to these boys to see Jack conic in now with a smile on his face and this bright atom of human nature perched on his shoulder. Six feet tall, athletic, with a frank, manly face, tanned almost to brownness, he stood there. Mere was a true man, wholesome and strong, both mentally and physically. “See, fellows; I’ve found a mascot and his name is Uncle Pluck. Just now lie’s sort of hungry, but lie’s got the right stuff in him and is going to help me out. T found him on our door-step and I’m going to do the right thing by him. Uncle Pluck, these are the hoys. Here’s Silent Sandy, Dumpy, Red Top, Skinny, Silk-Hat Jones, Scrub and Bill. Fellows, I’m strictly up against it, but I guess there’s a silver lining to my cloud somewhere, even if I can’t see it with a microscope.” It was a new thing to have a child in the house, and all the boys wanted Pluck at once. Silk-Hat Jones looked the little chap over and then retreated to the corner, saying. “Really, don’t you know, I don’t believe I want him after all, for his hands arc dreadfully soiled. I can consider taking him when his hands are washed.” “Aw, he wouldn’t conic to you, anyway; but you just watch me get him.” Sandy climbed up on the table and began to juggle pillows, hats, books and any¬ thing in reach, all to no avail. Finally he danced a jig, yelling “Here, baby, here, baby, look at me. Now I’m going to he a kitty. Mew ! Mew ! S-s-scal ! Mew!” Down he went, walking on his hands. “Here, baby, here, baby; now I’m a doggy. Bow-wow-wow-wow !” He looked up and saw bow the boys were laughing, and when lie realized what a ridiculous spectacle he was making of himself, he climbed down with a very red face. Pluck smiled at them, but he would not leave Jack. After a hearty laugh over the affair. Jack waved them all aside and the trio disappeared into the kitchen. After supper the boys talked the matter over and decided to keep Pluck all night, as he was willing to stay on the strength of the promise to find his mother the next day. Jack carried him up and tucked him in his own big, white bed, and then went to his study to think things over. He was lost in dreams when he heard a faint call, “Mister Jack.” When he reached the bedroom. Pluck drew him down close and said: “You and me promised to be muvvers to each other; but you didn’t kiss me 174 nighty, and muvver allays did and allays tooked me to the window and showed me my honor star and said as how 1 could follow it and allays keep it bright and shiny. Sunny-Saint said nobody could make it black but me, and it’d make our muvvers feel awful sorry if our stars didn’t twinkle and twinkle. Jack took the little fellow into his arms and wished he could feel that his honor star was bright. At least he wished the faculty knew how hard it had been to do just everything that his mother would have liked. It was touching to see this big athletic man sitting on the edge of the bed. holding Pluck ' s hand till he went to sleep. Finally he rose and crept softly from the room to his study, where a bright fire was burning in the grate, lie did not feel like studying, and as he watched the burning embers, he slowly drifted back to his dream mood. He saw her there as lie had seen her last, leaning over the gate at twi¬ light with a spray of wild roses in her pretty brown hair. Jack shifted in his chair and relighted his pipe. Could it be that she was saying “Xu” to the very tiling they both longed for most. Oh. Betty! How sweet! How true! Jove, how lie loved her even yet! It seemed as yesterday when they had been chums and he had carried her books and skates for her as they swung along to school. She had married a young scapegrace to save him from the many things lie might have done had she refused him. Her father, a very stern man. had dis¬ owned her and they had gone to—no one knows where. How often since had Jack thought of her and wondered if she were happy. Suddenly lie came to himself with a start ; the fire was out and things looked cold and gray in the fading darkness of the night. He had been asleep and dreamed a dream filled with wild roses, theses and one girl, with a bright, sensitive face and sparkling brown eyes. After breakfast, Jack and Pluck started out to find the house of Pluck ' s disconnected description. After two weary hours. Pluck finally announced that the building ahead was the house. It was a wooden structure of dilapidated appearance, filled with tenants who were very poor. Jack interviewed the landlord and found that Pluck ' s mother had been taken to the hospital with brain fever. Orders had been left to care for the child, but he had disap¬ peared and they did not have time to hunt for him. Jack ordered a call and took Pluck and that ever present Shaggy to Sunny-Saint. A tall, sweet-faced matron met them at the door and Jack gave her the slip of paper containing the name of Pluck’s mother, without even looking at it. The nurse told them that the patient could not be disturbed by anyone, as she was very low. Jack directed the doctor to do everything he could for the mother and to let him know just as soon as she was able to see anyone. As he and Pluck were on the way home, a brand new idea came to Jack. He would ask Mrs. Crandall to help him care for Pluck, and then he could be with him a great deal, as she lived next door to the fraternity house. It was strange, blit he had taken a great fancy to this child. It gave him strength to look into the clear, trustful blue eyes and real¬ ize that the very simplicity and goodness of his thoughts made his face a picture. Mrs. Crandall was a sort of foster mother to all the hoys, and they always went to her with all their troubles. The mother instinct went out to Pluck at the very first, and she was delighted to care for him. as she was very fond of Jack. Pluck seemed contented, and so Jack left him with Mrs. Crandall while he went over to the house. He vaulted the hedge and found the boys lounging on the grass on the other side. He was greeted with: “Hey, there, old man! Where you been all this time—acting nurse maid or mooning over some long lost love? Come, tell us all about it. Sort of queer about you getting a case on over a little, tow-headed slum kid—you might at least pick on someone your size. Why. man ! you haven’t had a case during your whole four years, except Mother Crandall; but jimminy! you look as dreary and forlorn as Mickey when Suzanne hasn’t smiled since morning. Now. out with it; tell us what you are going to do with the kid—annex him, and trot around wearing a white cap on your bouncy, brown hair?” “Well, now, fellows, if you will give me a chance to get a word in edge¬ ways, 1 will just tell you that Pluck is all right, and the best remedy ever for the blues and a case of slumping courage, or—or—well, spring fever and campitis like yours. Romy. You had better all get acquainted with him—he’s a foxy youngster through and through- what I call a blue ribbon winner. Well, so long, boys: I’ve got to go and study.” Aw. come on back. You don’t want to work; we’ve got the spring fever and we want to talk.” No, not today. I ' ve loads to do and a measly conscience that sort of bothers me sometimes. Thanking you for your kind attention, I bid you one and all good-night. See you later.” With a low courtesy, lie swung across the lawn whistling merrily till lie reached the house, then silently went to his room to he alone. The group outside sobered down when they saw how hard it was for Jack to be brave and keep his troubles from those around him. Silent Sandy’s Irish was thoroughly aroused and he jumped up and said: T tell v’u, fellows, 1 won’t stand this another minute. We know Jack is true blue, and we’ve got to prove it. no matter what happens. I’ll bet every red cent I have that Hayes is at the bottom of the whole thing, because lie hales Jack since the last football game. Although he is only an assistant, lie has quite an influence on the faculty, and I ' m—” “Aw. cut it out, Sand,” interrupted Red Top. “Don’t go to accusing anyone till you’ve got something to hack you, even if you do think it’s so. It’s my own private opinion that Jack is on the inside track, but he’s too loyal to tell. Gee, 176 kids, let ' s shake on it and go into this thing as if we are out for hear. I say, i ni hot under the collar; let’s all go down town for a soda” Shoulder to shoulder, the four started off, buoyant and hopeful. Jack heard them from the window and thought. Jove, what fine men.” In the days that followed there were times of both humor and pathos. One day the boys marched boldly into Jack’s room and found Pluck sitting in the middle of the lloor holding the frantic Shaggy with one hand and daubing on the paint with the other hand. Dog. shoes, clothes, bed and all had shared alike and were thoroughly decorated with paint, not to leave out the appear¬ ance of Pluck. He had been specially liberal with himself and looked like an Apache Indian. The boys rose to the occasion and laughed. The incident gave rise to a feeling of comradeship between the child and the boys, and they all grew very fond of him. It was not long till he was their constant com¬ panion. Jack spent a great deal of time thinking, thinking, only to be farther away from anything definite than before. He often spent hours wondering what Pluck’s mother was like. Day by day. the month slipped by, until Jack suddenly realized that it was the day before graduation and that he would he absent from the ranks of his fellow classmates on the morrow. As he sat on the steps he was aroused from his meditation by loud and angry voices within. He listened. Surely it could not he. Yes, yes, the boys were accusing Hayes. He jumped up to go in, but was stopped by a messenger boy with two letters. Tearing them open on the way. he rushed into the house and forced his way into the midst of the angry group. One glance at the message startled him. He looked again. Yes. it was from the faculty, with the very best news possible With one delighted yell, he began to shout. “Nobody loves me; everybody hates me. Guess I ' ll go eat worms.” The hoys stood looking at him, dazed and breathless, and then with one glad sweep, pounced upon him. There was just one who did not enter into the merry-making. Fearing his silence would he noted, he walked up to Jack with outstretched hand. Totally ignoring the cowering man before him, Jack went on talking to the other fellows. With one frightened glance at the towering figure, Hayes made his way to the door and disappeared. Later in the day the news was given out that Hayes had resigned his position on account of his health. In the turmoil that followed, the boys found Pluck standing in the door with Shaggy. Is my muvver come—is that why you are all so happy? She allays makes peoples happy, and I want her, cause I’m—” He got no further, for Jack bundled him into his arms and comforted him by the news that his mother would see him that evening. At exactly five a motor drew up in front of the hospital—containing a scru- 77 pulously clean youngster and a figety, happy young man. ' The nurse met them and led the way through long, cool, dark halls into the courtyard at the back. As Jack walked with Pluck high on his shoulder, he could hear his heart pounding like a steam engine at the mere thought of meeting Pluck ' s mother. At last they saw her- sitting in a big. easy chair, propped up with pillows. She was leaning forward in expectation; her thin cheeks were flushed and her eyes bright with excitement. The bower above her was covered with roses and one had carelessly blown across her shoulder. Her face lighted up with joy at sight of the two, and she simply said, “My hoys! ' ' One word from each of the others: “Betty!” and “Sunnv-Sainl!” With one on each side of her. she told Jack all that had happened since she had seen him last—how she had wanted to come hack, but was compelled to go and struggle for herself and child by her own pride. As the sun sank silently behind the hills. Jack looked at Betty and said : “The rose is my garden’s queen.” Pluck chimed in with “Now. favver Jack, we won’t have to be each ovvers muvvers, ’cause Sunny-Saint will he a muvver for bof of us.” Sweetheart All, here ' s to a sweetheart so loving and true! Who stands at the yard gate and waits there for you. A dear, loving friend if in trouble or woe, And oh, how so loving when things go just so! In long winter evenings before the great hearth We pass the time gaily with laughter and mirth, Or sit very close as the moments glide by, And keep very still while the lonely winds sigh. We walk in the spring time and pluck the gay flowers. We stroll in the summer ’ncath shadowy bowers. Or sit side by side in some nice cozy nook To talk of old times or to read some good book. With eyes that are watching with such loving care; A mind that is thinking of me everywhere; A heart that is burning with longings anew; My sweetheart—how loving and gentle and true! 178 “Queets” by Florence Glover Queets was a little girl whose home was in a remote valley of Western Washington. Her father had made the little clearing and built the log house when the land was first “thrown open” for settlement. Far away from town and school, Queets and her brothers and sisters were growing up with the woods and the water and the wild things all around them. Queets was the first white child born in the valley and had been named after the river. She was not at all like her brothers and sisters. In the sturdy, rosy-checked crew she looked like a little alien, with her slight frame, pale face and closely cropped curls. And she had such queer fancies! She seldom told them to the others, but when she did, they always laughed at her. Then her gray eyes would blaze, and quick as a flash her hand would fly and leave a stinging imprint on the scoffer’s cheek. For some reason she never could get on with the other children. In all their differences they joined forces against her. Then she would dart away into the tangled undergrowth with a fierce cry, I hate you! Supple and sure of foot, she ran like a deer, and if the children gave chase she soon out¬ distanced them. As she ran, she seemed to leave her anger behind; by degrees the subtle influence of the forest crept over her; she ran now for the pure joy of it. At last her pace would slacken and she would come to a standstill in some forest glade, with dimness and with silence all around her. The place to which she came oftenest was well back from the river, where the valley widened. She approached it through a dense thicket of under¬ growth, which suddenly opened on a natural avenue through the forest. The tall spruce trees stood in line down either side. At the farther end rose the bluff, sheer and handed with varying shades of strata. In a cleft, where a spring dribbled down, shone the fresh green of a clum of alders. Along the edge stretched the unbroken face of the forest, dark green with black shadows. Just midway in the line of the tree-tops was a break and there, alone, rose a tall cedar, its tip drooping gracefully, its light branches swaying in the breeze. To Queets this was an enchanted spot. The stately files of trees were liv¬ ing, mystical personalities. The marshaled forces of the bluff-top were there to i 9 await the command of their queen, the cedar, regal, glorious, but still tender, brooding—a queen mother. Often, as the child lingered there, she heard the trees talking. Tier brothers and sisters could not have understood. They would have laughed at her had she told them, and would have run back to the clearing in fear lest some cougar or “bob-cat should pounce upon them for his supper. Indeed, Queets rather encouraged their fears, for with their noise they would have broken the spell. The trees often talked among themselves, and sometimes spoke to Queets. And once the lovely queen bent her head and smiled at the child while the trees whispered about it to each other. Several miles up the river from Queets’ home there lived a family whom the children were often taken to visit. The two grown daughters of the house¬ hold had taken a great fancy to Queets, in spite of the fact that she would never talk and seldom came inside the door, preferring to stay within easy reach of the canoe. She stood in very real terror of the young men of the family, and when one came in sight she would fly to the canoe and wait there for the rest of the visit. On one of these occasions Queets was persuaded to stay for a day or so. The canoe went down the river without her and did not come up again for three long days. When it did come, Queets was in it the minute the bow scraped the gravel at the landing, and waited there while her father had his visit. During her absence her father had finished some repairs which he had been making on the house. When the clearing came in sight the dark background of the forest set off brightly the new shake on the cabin roof, and a few moments later Queets was busy helping her brothers and sisters collect the discarded scraps their father had left, that they might use them on their playhouse. She was glad to be back and they to have her. The playhouse progressed rapidly, for the children enjoyed working with the fragrant pieces of cedar. Rut before the roof was done, the inevitable happened. Queets was dashing through the tangled underbrush, her hands clenched, and something within her seething and boiling. She grew calm as she ran, and at last came out into the familiar opening. Then she stood a moment, hardly comprehending what she saw. There, on the edge of the bluff, shone the bright new wood of freshly chopped stumps. The clump of alder was gone and in its place, down the cleft in the face of the bluff, ran a skid-way of roughly split boards. Above it, from the break in the line of treetops, the cedar was gone! Queets caught her breath. Her heart seemed to stop beating. Hot tears blinded her. She sank to the ground and buried her face in the moss. i So Late that evening her mother and the children called and hallooed, but with¬ out an answer, until they fell into a frenzy of fear. Then one of the children went for the father, who was still at work in the lower clearing. Together they searched the woods, stumbling through the brush, calling at every step, “Whoo-oo-oo-hoo! Qucctsie!” At last, as night had almost come, the father found his way into an opening, where the forest fell away on either side in a long aisle. And there, at his feet, lay Queets, her curls damp with evening dew! As lie lifted her, she sobbed. The trees whispered about it to each other, but he did not understand. All that night and for many more the parents watched by the bedside as Queetsie moaned and sobbed and murmured unintelligibly. ' The damp moss and the dew had done their work. It seemed as if the little lungs could no longer keep to their task. And something troubled the child’s mind. The feverish little brain seemed always full of it. At last the feeble life seemed to take new strength and slowly—very slowly—Queets became well. During all this time the playhouse was the absorbing interest of the children, and especially of Queets. One day she went to her box and began to sort out certain articles. They were her most precious possessions—a box of paints, a string of beads, some bright scraps of ribbon and a set of dominoes. To this child, far away from stores or toy-shops, these trivial objects were almost price¬ less. Queets carried them all out and, calling her brothers and sisters around her, proposed her plan. She wished to buy their shares in the playhouse! Ten minutes later Queets was sole owner. She sat down and waited until, in their games, the children gradually drew away from the vicinity of the playhouse. After a time, when one of her brothers came round the house, he found Queets standing solemnly before a blazing pile of ruins. The smoke rose in a gray pillar and then boated away over the bluff, li was her sacrifice for f he cedar. Why the Oriole Sang George L. Watt At some glad moment was its nature’s choice To dower a scrap of sunset with a voice? Or did some orange tulip, flaked with black, In some forgotten garden, ages back, Yearning toward Heaven, until its wish was heard, Desire unspeakably to be a bird? An oriole had been flitting about Tanglewood all afternoon among the fir and mountain ash, enjoying life, and at the same time making it brighter for others. It was growing late in the afternoon. Spring was here and the warm breeze lolled across Silver Lake. As Sir Oriole sat perched on a bud¬ ding maple, a flutter of white near the apple hedge drew his attention. “A co-ed,” he twittered ; “Unusual time to see a co-ed here.” But the ap¬ pearance of a young man coming down the embankment on the east explained matters—to the oriole, at least. Of course, the meeting of the two was merely a coincidence, in spite of any suspicions the bird may have had. ' They met near the fir trees and after walking around to just above where the tall poplars meet the lake, they made themselves comfortable under the shade of a dense spruce. The Oriole was interested at once. He flew unheeded to a tree near the couple. Well, well, how close they sat! Goodness, how long would they sit, as silent as two owls? Something seemed to occupy the young man’s mind. He could say but little, and spent most of the time gazing into a pair of sweet, honest eyes, in which beauty and goodness added to each other’s charms. No wonder he could do nothing but gaze. Above the ripple of her brown hair, golden with the warmth of twenty summers, the wide brim of her hat curved softly; while the bow and streamers of pale blue ribbon added just that touch of half unconscious coquetry, without which, it is said, no charming girl is quite complete. As site .yat there in the open air beneath a tree, there was a stretch of country scenery beyond and a peep of the blue sky. She belonged to a free, wide, natural life, the freshness and fragrance of her nature was akin to the flowers and the pure, glad song of the oriole. Soon the little bird began to sing. Before long he noticed the girl was looking for him. Of course, this flattered the proud little singer, for he loved always to be noticed, and his song came from a heart full of enjoyment. Presently the young man, too, became interested in the search for the sweet voice. They looked all over a scarlet oak, whence they were sure the music was coming. The youth leaned forward and remained there for a long time. He was pretending to be searching for the bird, but the oriole knew it was because a wisp of dark brown hair was blowing across his face. “Oh, there’s the little rascal!” exclaimed the girl, as the oriole Hew to a lower branch. The little bird sang on more sweetly. And such a song! It seemed as though his very heart would burst with ecstacy. The youth and the maiden soon found themselves filled with the spirit of the singer. What an inspiration was that song! How easy to unburden the heart there! “What do you suppose he is singing about?” asked the girl, as the oriole continued his melody. “Could such a song be about anything hut love?” said the happy youth. The great sun sank slowly behind the hill beyond the gymnasium. Re¬ luctantly the two wended there way through the willow-flanked path to the college. As the oriole, also remembering his mate, sang out: “Will you, will you, will you really, really, truly?” The answer that came from the nest in the top of the elm seemed to be the answer that lay in the blue eyes under the brown tresses For plaintively the words came hack, “1 will.” 183 My College My college, us of thee! Thou seat of learning free; Of thee 1 sing. 1 love thy campus green; Thy winding walks between; Where youthful life is seen, I love them all. When through life’s vale 1 roam Far from my college home, I’ll think of thee. Think of the happy ways. The studies and the plays, Light hearted youthful days I spent with thee. My Alma Mater dear. My heart doth thee revere Where’er I go. Mayst thou forever stand A beacon in the land, Guiding the youthful band That to thee flow. May The great Love divine With His own radiance shine On thee for aye. May He His blessings pour From His own bounteous store On thee forevermore My college dear. And when my heart doth yearn And glad my footsteps turn Toward the Hill. I’ll sing with joyous lay As 1 with pride survey The Crimson and the Gray Float o ' er thee still. % V 184 We, the Glee Club, including Misses Seabury and Trainor, began from the home station our memorable trip of ’o8, cheered on our way by the encourage¬ ments of our Washington State College friends. The reception given us at our first stop. Garfield, further emboldened us for our approaching trials. The first rehearsal was held at the opera house, after the inner man had been duly quieted at the Carter Hotel. Our first performance went without a break; even in the Crimson and Grey we found ourselves easily mounting heighths where we usually limped over “flats.” This success, in all likelihood, was clue to the responsibilities assumed by the new members in keeping their vests down, their hair slick, and their throats cleared with throat medicine. (Pink Stendall wishes here to state that three-fourths of a box of Pink Pills is a sufficient dose for a new man). We were very pleasantly entertained after the show at the home of Robt. and Hustan McCroskey. but unhappily the many complimentary things said here gave us a bad attack of caput magnum, from which we did not recover until after the Spokane performance. The Ridpath was our headquarters at Spokane. At four P. M. we sang to the public school teachers in the High School auditorium, and in the evening we gave our regular entertainment at the same place. “This is where and when we got ours.” This was the first make-up night. The war paint as applied then by some of the fellows was both startling and effective. If Corbett were seen on the campus as he was that night, he would lose his right to hold his class of one in 185 harmony at the conservatory, because definite arrangements would immediately be made for a less conspicuous cigar sign as an instructor. It was during this performance that DeFrost, sighing for the antique and incidentally for the lost lines, confidentially remarked that bis three-thousand- year-old statue was loo modern for him to understand; Happy accused Solo¬ mon of the stunt historically assigned to Jonah, and, becoming mixed in the real estate deal between Esau and his father, give “Esau all the farm and half to brother Jake; Rader, not to be outdone, struck Q sharp and then went frog hunting. Paderewski was in Spokane, and each of the theaters was giving shows that night, so that our audience was composed mostly of loyal Washington State College men. Someone remarked that he could call each one in the audience by his first name. In the grand rush for the train at the close of the performance, Mox lost the “prop. trunk In his excitement, he forgot his cultured English and swore in round Dutch that if he ever got his sheep-skin he’d come up there and start a midnight express to help other galoots. After we all had turned into our berths for the night Tub Laird, suffering from lack of room for bis feet, hung them out the window. When we arrived in North Yakima he found that he had hooked, enroute, the Toppenish mail hag. It was taken from him and he was threatened with arrest and exposure for tampering with the U. S. mails. It was a sunshiny Sunday at North Yakima, so the fellows made hay. Laird and Reiser were seen hunting in the back streets for the hotel; Corbett was found in the suburbs astride a rail fence, painfully pining for peaceful Pull¬ man ; Eager, Happy and Morrison were enticed by the enchanting Miss William¬ son to partake of a “bite.” DeFrost and “Jap were entertained at the Hux- tablcs; Dudley went home to explain “the why to father, while Welly, Slendell and Wiard wisely remained in their rooms lest the Leap Year Maidens take advantage of their youth and beauty. A bunch of six inspected the new city jail. Only by many bold promises to the gruff jailor was our brilliant tenor, Rader, released. Monday, happily, has no history. (Rader bribed the historian not to expa¬ tiate on Monday). The performance here was a “humdinger.” Much credit is due to the local manager, for he certainly is a hot air furnace at advertising. The Commercial Club gave us a reception after the show which was a credit to the town. The school inarms, at their incubator (Ellensburg), were an enthusiastic audience and gave us a jolly dance in the Gym after the show. In Ellensburg the Buffaloes were organized. Tub payed his initiation fees in stamps and pennies. At Tacoma our comedy was turned into tragedy by the loss of the prop, trunk, and by a wandering glance of Wiard’s. While singing “Violets and Autumn Leaves ' he spotted in the audience a fair maiden whose charming glances entranced him. “Mum was the word,” and “the band played on.” R. McCoy Rader saved the day by rendering with great success a strenuous and forceable argument which terminated in a concise proof of “Squabs is Squabs.” He was presented with a magnificent boquet of Canadian thistles. As we were leaving Tacoma by boat, Front repeated Ole Otcson’s historical feat, catching the boat on the second “yump.” ' Pub covered himself with glory on this trip first by “busting” his fifteenth century derby and then by taking a snap shot at Miss Seabury and Miss Trainor which, when developed, proved to he pictures of two sea gulls. (Is there a moral ?) Zona Sapp an d Kreager met us at the wharf, while Mox turned hack to locate the prop, trunk, muttering meanwhile in a classical but not dead language. He and the trunk joined ns later at the Mitchell Hotel. In Olympia we gave one of our best performances to a large and apprecia¬ tive audience. Governor Mead congratulated Professor Strong on the fine hunch (we for the lofty chest) and upon the performance. A large reception was tendered us here, at which we danced until morning, and then some of us dragged our weary hones to rest until boat time. We were all at the boat and ready for the Puyallup trip except Pink. A later train into Puyallup brought the prop, trunk and Pink. Pink, by a brilliant thought, caught the N. P. at a way station by hiring a bubble wagon and going cross country, and so arrived in lime for the show. Mox was so elated upon seeing the prop, trunk that he, fearing to trust it in other hands, pushed it eight blocks in an Irish automobile, up to the opera house. Professor Strong was sick in Puyallup, and the Club by their anxious faces and restlessness plainly showed how they missed his encouraging presence in the wings. That night we were given our “steenth” reception, by the teachers of Puyallup, among whom were several Washington State College “grads.” Our next stand was Everett. We went by water and had a jolly trip. We were “all in” when we started for home next morning via the Great Northern, so our trip back was unique by reason of its quietness. As we again saw our Alma Mater we were covered with emotions loo deep to utter, and pa?ons of praise arose to our lips that we were again back in her safe fold—to “grind.” i 7 Yet we were not through. Once again Talhot must become marble and plunge the electrical shark, Rader, into a sea of trouble; and again his hard heart must soften and bring everlasting joy to that lover of the antique, DeFrost, whom we still feel wonders whether a live girl with a marble heart is superior to a marble girl with no heart. At last it was over, and as we that night packed our dress suits away for the last time for this trip, a feeling of satisfaction made us sigh to ourselves a “well done.” Prudence and Imprudence Gentle maids, be prudent; always draw the blind Or you may get spied on like this maid of mine. She was sweet and charming, hair and eyes of jet, And a tall man loved her—hope he’s loving yet. Every other evening—so the neighbors tell, Tic would call upon her. Ah. he loved her well! Though his form was skinny and his face was high. That made no difference to them, says the passerby. Man’s a wondrous being! specially when in love, And this one got a notion in his head above. Tie would just sit down in the hig armed chair That the lovely maiden into his eyes might stare. Rut alas! the curtain they forgot to draw And the passerby through the window saw. Every little detail they will not relate. But the sparks were flying at a fearful rale. Passerby just giggled, to relieve the strain. And the charm was broken—but ’twill mend again. Maiden heard the noise, didn’t draw the shade, Simply turned the light out. Happy Little Maid! Here’s my word of warning to all friends of mine: Better be more prudent—always draw the blind. 188 The Murder It was just after midnight and she sat alone in her hotel room reading the first edition of the morning paper. It was a dark, rainy night of the September equinox, and her room was all the drearier, as it faced away from the street toward a dark alley and was situated on a lower story near the dining hall. Suddenly the stillness was broken by a sharp explosion, followed by a dull thud and then a noise, as if some one was hurrying across the floor. The door creaked and low mutterings were heard. She was too frightened to call for help for the unfortunate victim. So there she sat, listening, fearing for her own safety. Then was heard the most uncanny sound of all—drip, drip, drip; some one’s life was slowly oozing «nvay. The lady arose from her chair, staggered backwards, and fell. A man with clots of the horrible deed still fresh on his hands had just ap¬ peared in the transom to tell her—a tomato can had burst. George L. Watt. Parting They nestle closer; moments fly As swift sparks up the flue. They hear the moaning breezes sigh A tune for those who woo. The great tall clock ticks slowly on, The hour quite late is growing; He whispers, “Dear, I must be gone, It’s time that I was going.” He tarries yet a moment more. The winds still lonely sigh; A long embrace within the door, And then a fond “good-by.” A youth there was from Sheboygan, Who played on an old mouth organ ; He ran in the mile, With a beautiful smile. And his mother said: “Where is my boy gone?” WELSCH!! 189 When Springtime Comes Around What makes me feel so glad and gay when springtime comes around What makes me want to drink my fill of everv sight and sound? What makes me want to do the things that make my fellows glad? Why just because it’s springtime! Can any one be sad? The sun is pouring down his rays upon the campus green. And presently on every side sweet blossoms will be seen. I think we all are happy at the College on the hill. E’en to the hapless “rookie” when the bugle call says “Drill.” I like to sit in the sunshine and dream of the things to be. When I’ll be far from schoolmates and they ' ll he far from me. How sad ’twill be in the springtime, when spring comes like a song. To think of the old State College that has nourished me long. Benton Stookry.

A Dreary Day The day is sad. the clouds hang low And tell us of our sorrow— And every gust of wind will blow Us grief that we may borrow. The day grows darker—oh, how sad And gloomy life does seem. The sun long since his face has hid, Is loath to shed a beam. And every time we hear the wind. We cannot tell just why— There sweeps across our mind a gloom. And we arc forced to sigh. Our friends seem scattered with the wind : Our eyes are wet with tears— And all the things we might enjoy Are crowded out with fears. At such a time we know so well That God is very near, And if we turn to Him in faith We need not sigh nor fear. For then the clouds of gloom will part To let the sun shine through, And brighten all our hopes again As sparkling morning dew. But this we know, that in our lives Some rain is sure to fall— And as it comes it brings along A blessing dear to all. Evening Over the rugged bights ' I ' lie dying sun has dipped. And the dreamy twilight lights The pall that o’er earth has slipped. And all the western sky Is ablaze with purple and gold. Save a crimson path on high That shows where the sun has rolled. Now the darkening shadow creeps Over hill and vale and plain. And out of the darkness peeps The first of night’s starry train. Then slowly from out the sky The flaunting banners fade, Till night, from her thrown on high, Her kingdom of darkness has made. A. N.

There have been many plays of merit and many players of ability amongst us, but before the footlights the Class of 1007 ‘‘bore the palm alone.” 203 The Professor’s Predicament No one thinks of Webster as an actor, but in truth he must have been, else how could his followers rival even the theatrical greatness of the ’07’$.

Robinson u CJ _) Oh, world, with oceans in your arms. Could you but for a moment pause, Stand still, forgetting all your charms. And let the worm of earth—the man— From blind eyes loose the scales and span The misty ether and foggy air. And all the worlds so chill and bare. Oh let him loose his prison bars And look beyond the farthest stars, And tell what life is—where’s the gain From all this so rrow, all this pain; And why was Adam, why was Eve, Upon this glittering rainbow set; And why were we condemned to sweat For one short day, and then away— To speck this shell with mortal clay. But is there something in that day— Some silvery atom that won’t decay— Cast from its earth a wanderer lonely. Seeking that tiny isle of rest In seas of darkness, yet filled with light, Where up is down and left is right And centuries pass in one long night? Yes, the black-winged vulture above it screams, And there fall from his eyes two fiery streams That quench not the thirst, and cool not the brow, And lo-e ' en the bat, from caves by the styx, Joins in with the vulture and craves for the blood Of the worm-eaten soul of the image of God. 206 m HEN the ink on this page shall have dried the 1909 Chinook will he ended. The sigh which comes from the editorial desk is not so much one of relief from the burden and worry incident to the publication of this volume as it is one of regret for a sense of failure to accomplish very many of the things which we undertook to do. Our great hopes of improvement and innovation have dissolved into the realization that our predecessors “budded better than they knew” and that the Chinook is not the work of an individual staff, but the outcome of conditions which alone determine what changes each succeeding volume shall bring forth. We freely admit that economy has curtailed many things which might have added to our success. And we hope that we shall he pardoned for endeavoring to sacrifice some phases of humor out of respect for our ideas of good taste. If there arc merits in the work, pray give credit to the staff members, who have worked hard, and to our many friends who have contributed most freely of their time and talents. Upon the many failures and imperfections which you will find, we beg your lenient criticisms, asking you to ever bear in mind that humanity is prone to imperfection, as also is The Editor. 207 208 The following pages, which are included in Tin: Chinook Advertiser, are filled, not so much with advertisements of various lines of business as with a long list of loyal friends of our college who are, in these pages, making known their friendship and allegiance to us. Such hearty support should be deeply appreciated by all members of the institution, and it should be mir endeavor to make that appreciation felt in recip¬ rocal patronage. Let it be known by our friends that so far as support, at least, is concerned, “We would rather belong to the State College with nothing behind it but Pullman and the Palouse hills, than to the Uni¬ versity, backed by Seattle and its millions.” Till-: JUNIOR MASCOT. m WE HAVE A LOYAL INTEREST IN NO WASHINGTON A Nineteen Hundred (light young man does not look well STATE COLLEGE under a Nineteen Hundred AND Seven Hat.
