None of us fail to appreciate the advantages, not only of education but of association afforded by the High School, and the friendships formed here will last, must last through a lifetime. We have been guided and influenced during these years at the High by our teachers and it is to them we offer unqualified appreciation and gratitude. We have realized, each one of us, their patience, their kindliness, and their devotion. We leave the school prepared to begin the battle in the great game of life, able, we trust, to solve the problems that the years will present to us, thus verifying the hopes and bringing to fruition the labors of our teachers at the High School. The school, its teachers, and its future will always be first in the thoughts of The Class of 1910. 7 J. M. WEATHERWAX HIGH SCHOOL 9 BUELAH SCOTT Literary Course Entered ’08.

How manifold its meaning; but for us there is only one meaning and that one is fraught with gladness and sorrow. Of course we are glad to complete the work over which we have labored and which we have shirked these twelve long years. Of course we want to get out into the big wide world and show what we can do. Hut then another aspect comes before us; we will miss those dear companions we have associated with so long; we will miss even the daily routine and long to get back to it; oh we cannot enumerate those things which will he stored in our brain and labeled “Memories.” As we look hack, are we not satisfied with our work? Hardly, for each one in his heart thinks of what he might have done if he had only worked harder. Hut even then we have only contributed our share to the spirit and contests of the school. Who could ask for better football heroes than Bert Glidden, the plucky and famous little end; Cris Beltz, the old warhorse at tackle; Cross, the “heady” little quarter of two years’ experience; trusty Springer, as guard; and Moulton, whose defensive work at center reminded the enemy of a stone wall. In Basket Ball, Cross and Moulton again carried off honors for their team. Cross as running guard and Moulton, as running forward. Mable McClymont and Rhea Rupert contributed largely to the success of the girls Basket Hall team; Mable by her splendid de-lensive work as guard and Rhea by her steady work at forward. On the Rase Hall field tin Seniors are also in evidence, for Rert by his excellent work at batting, base running and care of second base and “Mick” in the pitcher’s box and also as outfielder are a pair that would make the most courageous enemy falter. Athletics however are not our only forte; we have been also represented in the more intellectual side by Cris Beltz and Nan Allard, who were the stars of the 1908 debating team. Looking through this list of heroes and heroines should we not feel proud that we have contributed so largelv to the successes of the A. II. S? Farewell to all you Juniors, To the Sophmores and Freshmen too, Follow the way of the Seniors And be true to the gold and blue. 16 HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1910. Four years waiting for praise from other tongues and pens than our own is a good while, and yet here as our High School career draws to a close, it falls that the Seniors themsleves must sound their own achievements, must sing their own odes and must weep at their own departure. However, we note with no small degree of satisfaction that our work has at all times been spontaneously given for the promotion of any school enterprise. CHAPTER I. As Freshmen in 1906-07, we were never noticed by the other classmen nor mentioned in the “Ocean Breeze” class notes. We l,ad a superfluity of that customary Freshmen exhuberance and yet Ihe 1910’s were shunned and avoided. However, we played the part of skilled opticians opening the eyes of the other classes later in the year. Cris was our G. O. M., directing the policy of state and producing in a joint effort with Aubrey a constitution which has furnished a model for all subsequent classes. With the luck in the beginning campaign following us, in the shape of rain, the party of picknickers wearing the alluring caps of ’10 (purchased for such occasions) rumbled over the Wishkah road in a huge farm wagon, stopping only to partake of many dainties prepared by the girls. Then too, there was a gavel won—presented by Principal Kellogg, the reward for selling many dozens of tickets for some sort of an entertainment—ancient history now. CHAPTER II. What stands out most brilliantly in this year are the forensic efforts of Nan, Aubrey and Chris expounding “Government Ownership of Railroads,” giving the Juniors a close call in the finals. In this year Aubrey and Emily pounded the desk with the mahogany gavel. Our picnic was another ride overland, sorely trying our nerves and keeping kind Providence very busy watching Rhea, Bessie and “Scoovy,” who so seriously hampered the expedition by getting lost, that we never got where we intended to go—but we found the little dears. CHAPTER III. Our class was always broad minded. We find Nan opening the meetings here—an example and exponent of the Rights of Woman. The Junior Prom, was to be reckoned next. Little now can be said of it socially and financially than that it was like a corner of Elysium, resulting in a sort of Pactolus that flowed into our treasury. A consolidated affair and an effective one too was the result of the Junior-Senior picnic to Oyehut in the chartered Fleetwood. Of course, our trip and adventures were as thrilling as those of Sir Francis Drake and Capt. Kiell. The boat was nearly beached, a few couples of our party nearly lost, some nearly left behind, some 17 nearly sick on the homeward trip in the moonlight. The Seniors of ’10 will well remember it. CHAPTER IV. Our last year marks a great social epoch. It was here in this last year that precedence was again set by the class of ’10 in the way of class parties. The other classes followed in order. Then again under the direction of our girls, who by the way, are the social dictators, many receptions for visiting athletic teams were planned and made possible by the joint efforts of the ’10’s. Among them was a delightful reception at Mable’s for the final debate teams. It was all the more pleasant, since we had won. Too—this annual is the product of Senior promotion and school assistance. No regret possesses us as we write this last chapter in A. II. S. We feel that our share has contributed toward the school, making its memories sweet and its spirit wholesome. We could have improved in some ways the work of the past four years, but that improvement shall come in some other place and is not to be written of here. SENIOR ALPHABET.

Looking back over our past High School life; our successes, our trials and tribulations, we, the class of 1911, feel greatly and justly proud of the record we have to show. We have been amply represented in all branches of High School activities and have acquitted ourselves nobly and well. As we look over our athletic career, we find ourselves to have been represented in each and every event in our three years of work in the High School. In our Freshman year. Roy Wood, our star athlete, gained his position as “sub” on the first football team, running guard on the first basket ball team, and the 220-yard man on the track team, which went to Seattle, as well as took first place in the Southwestern Washington Meet in Aberdeen. In the same Spring, the Freshman track team took second place in the A. II. S. Interclass meet and were only a few points behind the seniors, who took first. When challenged to a dual track meet by the Franklin grade school, the class promptly accepted and easily took the meet by a total of ( 4 to 35 points from the overestimated graders. On the base ball field we find two freshmen, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner, on tin first team of that year. Passing along over the record to our second year we see the class of 1911, now Sophomores, still holding a prominent place among the High School athletic list. Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner succeeded in making their positions on the first Football team, Roy Wood on (he Basketball team; Mottie Madison, Thomas O’Hara, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner on the Baseball team; and Lance Hart, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner on the Track team; Lance Hart winning the Championship of Southwestern Washington in the Shot-put. The 1911 Baseball team this year challenged the entire remaining High School to a game and, on being accepted, defeated the rest of the classes by a score of 11-8. Following up the record into the Junior year we again see the lad and lass of 1911 ever striving upward. On the Football field three of the hale and hardy Juniors, Roy-Wood. Dunbar Pinckney and Ralph Faulkner, won the much coveted “A” on the team which won the Southwestern Washington Championship. Among the girls, Vera Johnston attained and held the position of center on the girls’ Basketball team, which was considered the strongest team in the history of the A. II. S. Roy Wood. Mottie Madison, Rubin Hause, Leo Scott and Ralph Faulkner held important positions on the High School Baseball team, making five out of the nine baseball men, Juniors. Thus completing our athletic record, we have yet another side of the talent and ability of the class of 1911 to show. In the Freshman year, Lance Hart, one of our worthy members, received a silver medal for taking first place in the local declama- 24 tory contest; later he represented A. H. S. in the Southwestern Washington declamatory contest of the same year and this time received a gold medal for taking first place, and, upon going to Seattle to enter the State declamatory contest, lie took fourth place among orators and declaimers from all over the State. The next year Lance Hart again came to the front and upon being sent to the State Declamatory Contest, he took second place and was awarded the fifteen dollars offered for that place. Once more in our Junior year are we allowed to see the talent displayed by this young “ Demosthenes” of our class, Lance Hart. Upon being appointed leader of the debating team, Lance set to work with a mighty effort and after a long series of victories, succeeded in guiding his team to bringing home, with flying colors, the Championship of the State, and establishing for himself a statewide reputation as a debator and public speaker. So we draw to the close of our third and most successful year in High School, and are ready to sally forth on our forth and last year with renewed vigor and determination, expecting to make this one remaining year of our High School life, tin best and greatest of our career. And are we not right to expect such things? Are we not justified in singing the praise of this class, the best and dearest of all? For, ’tis said, “Whosoever paddleth not his own canoe, his canoe shall not he paddled.” So we, the class of 1911, do take off our hats and give three long and lusty cheers for A. 11. S. and the good old Gold and Brown. So: Here’s to the colors that float in the light, Hurrah for the Gold and Brown; Bright as tin stars that shine in the night And never stoop to scowl or frown; And may our memories, joyous and bright. Grow fairer and fonder as years take their flight ; Hail to the colors that float in tin light, Hurrah for the Gold and Brown. 25 SYSTEMATIC NOISE MAKING Psychology teaches that for every stimulus there must be some sort of motor outlet. So when there comes stealing over us a sort of a chill, which we will call enthusiasm, it is quite natural that we uncork that feeling in one way or another. To do it in a scientific and organized way. we unite our voices---Lance steps to the front cf the body----takes the duster in his hand and how we do yell. ITis program on the Football field runs something like this-. “Let us start the ball down the field with a good locomotive Sort of an eight-drive freighter, a great big one. Every one yell. Don’t be afraid to open your mouths. All right, one. two. three: Rok, Cholk. Oh My Aberdeen. Aberdeen, Aberdeen High Rok, Cholk, Oh My Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen High Rok, Cholk, Oh My Aberdeen. Aberdeen. Aberdeen High Let us EAT TM ALIVE Next. Rickety Kax, Go Axe. Go Axe. Give them the axe, the axe, the axe Go More High School. EAT TJM Alive. I believe we can yell Aberdeen Rah, Rah, better than that. Go slow at first and repeat. Begin— Aberdeen Rah, Rah, Aberdeen Rah. Rah. Hu Rah, Hu Rah Aberdeen Rah. Rah. Cheer lTp Iloquiam. Now—Everyone—Sing— Cheer up, Iloquiam. don’t be sighing, sighing. There’s a Football game today You’ll look sadder when you see our Football boys And see how they can play; Sadder days for you are coming, coming When you see we have won the day Iloquiam dear, do not fear. You’ll play Football bye and bye. To celebrate the victory and put a sort of a frosting on the whole thing, lets sing “Aberdeen High” to tin tune of Cupid is the Captain of the Army. Here’s to old Aberdeen Hi The Old High School that we love so well Here’s to her gray Old Walls Echo’s loud and long her praises swell; Here’s to schoolmates so true Waking Memories ever fond and sacred. Aberdeen High, Aberdeen High First in every heart And that’s, the school we always will remember.” Geo. B. Miller. 26 27 i apl)0ttuire (Elaaa CLASS OFFICERS Frederick Ilart, President.

In glancing back over our two years’ course in tlit Aberdeen High School, we ask ourselves the questions: How have we grown? What have we accomplished? IIow do the Sophs compare with other classes of the Aberdeen High? From the very first day of organization our strength and in-Huence have been manifested in every phase of High School life. Whether our men are chasing the pigskin down the gridiron, shooting baskets, pounding out the spherical missile for a home run, or trying to rival the mighty Demosthenes on the rostrums of Oratory and Debate, they are always at home. The first opportunity we had in which to show our strength was in Football. We were ably represented by Vanucie, at tackle; Pennoyer at guard; and “Dump” DeLosh, at end; a trio who helped the team to win the Championship of Southwestern Washington. Next came Basketball. Although we had no players on the boys’ team, we had three on the girls’, Bess Creech, the splendid guard, Raymond Hogan, who did good work at center, and Meg Hogan, who distinguished herself by her basket-throwing. Our class team, too, although not winning the interclass championship, did valiant work. Oh, here is what all Sophomores will be proud to read: Fred Hart and Russell Mack were two of the three members of the Debating team, who have the honor of never being defeated, thereby winning the State Championship. Both Russell and Fred have splendid delivery, and this, combined with excellent arguments, made them shining lights. In the city Declamatory contest, the “Sophs” taking part were Marguerite Cook, Aubrey Archer and Russell Mack. Russell won first place, and Marguerite tied with Aubrey Cross, a Senior, for second place. Russell participated in the county contest and delivered the oration, “An Appeal to Arms,” with force and persuasion, ranking well among the contestants. In the “Merchant of Venice,” the play given by the English Department, the Sophomores taking part were Fred Hart, in the role of “Bassonio,” Aubrey Archer as “Gratiano,” and Arthur Johnson as “Salanio, ” all of whom acquitted themselves creditably. So, with true fidelity to class and school, which strengthen us for the problems of life awaiting us, we move on in our epoch-making careers. Monday morning, March 14. there was seen nailed to the tower of the High School building, a sign in Yale Blue and White, with the words, “Class of ’12” on it. It was the work of several enterprising “Sophies,” who, through their class spirit had devised a means to scale the tower the night before and fasten the sign to the topmost point on the building. Just before school was called, two of the upper classmen succeeded in tearing down the ensign. Although it saw only a few hours of daylight, nevertheless the banner sufficed to give the Sophomores the honor of being the first class to have their banner displayed on the school, an evidence of 30 the class spirit which was without precedent in the history of the Aberdeen High School. Friday, March 18. the “Sophs” held their class party at the home of Fred Hart, on Terrace Avenue. A guessing game occupied the earlier part of the evening, prizes being won by Killalv Greene and Gleim Wilcox. Dancing and games took up the remaining time, and at a late hour refreshments were served. Every one reported a most enjoyable time. The committee in charge was: Marguerite Cook, Susie Williams, Ira Glidden, Meg Ilogan and Aubrey Archer. DOUBLES FOR SOPHOMORES. Eunice Semmen . Marguerite Cook Josephine Paine . Harold Reid ....

But as the year wore on and the usual round of High School events were participated in, we became accustomed to our surroundings and began to realize that there was a place for 11s in all these proceedings. We saw that an important niche in High School life was to be filled by us, and we determined to fill that niche in such a way that we would demand the attention of the upper classmen, and show them that we were alive. And we feel that we have succeeded. By earnest effort we have achieved such success that the whole A. II. S. may justly point to us with pride. You will find us in Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track. We were also represented in the Oratorical contest. We have carried off the Class Championship in Basketball, several of our members being on the first team, and in short, have risen to every occasion. Wherever High School spirit and loyal support have been called for, there you have seen Hie “Freshie,” earnest, energetic, and with the best interests of the A. H. S. at heart. We have, however, written but the preface of our history. “The best is yet to be.” We have accomplished much, but there is infinitely more to be done in the years which will elapse ere our High School work is completed. Judging the future from the past, we believe that the record we will leave upon the page of High School history will stand out in bold relief, showing to those who follow, what lofty altitudes of fame may be reached by those who make their failures, stepping-stones to higher things.

TO THE GRADUATES Seniors, classmates, fellow members of the graduating class, such a time as this comes to us but once in a lifetime. We, the Class ot 11110, are bringing to a close one of the happiest periods of our life—a period which is the very foundation of our future. In completing our course in the High School we have reached an epoch in our lives. We have come to that point when we must decide our course of life work; a point upon which hangs our future life— whether we shall continue as we have, to rise and by so doing reach fame, or whether we shall sink into obscurity. “Once said; they life is thine to make or mar, To flicker feebly or to soar, a star.” ear after year we have left this school at the end of the term, knowing that we would again see each other at the beginning of the next. We have been held together by the association afforded us; that tie is broken now. We are to separate, probably forever, scattering in different directions, but wherever we are, near or far, we must all feel proud at the thought that each and everyone of us will live everlastingly in the memories of the others. We are suddenly transformed from High School students to young men and women, entering upon the duties of life. We have been afforded this education, most of us, by our fathers and mothers. Has it been worth while? It lies with us, one and all, to prove to them and to the world our real worth,—to show that the twelve years’ study in the Aberdeen schools have not been in vain. But how can we show it? By starting in now, with boundless enthusiasm to undertake those duties which life presents to us; by setting our aim high and working towards that goal with a force and energy 38 that is untiring. There will be many contending forces, hardships to overcome, battles to fight, and blunders to rectify, but these things are all in the course of events, and must be dealt with as circumstances shall admit. Let us believe with our great American writer —“Not failure, but low aim is crime.’’ We have everything before us—let us look forward with eagerness and anticipation, and strive to become so known in this world that the other members of the class will point to him or her with pride and say, “lie was a classmate of mine.” Let us look back again. As we realize that we are to say a final farewell to that life and to all with whom we have associated here, it is no wonder that we are filled with a sense of sadness. Yet it is just this feeling that binds now and will bind us forever to the Aberdeen High School. Let us take with us pleasant memories and let our future lives be guided by such examples as have been set by it’s teachers. Hail to our Alma Mater. SCHOOL SPIRIT According to Emerson, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” So it is in any form of school activity, the ultimate success or failure depends entirely upon the amount of school spirit manifested. One of the various applications of school spirit is the loyal support of the High School teams. The student body is to be complimented on the way the members have turned our for Football, Basketball and Debate. It is to be lamented that the same attitude is not held towards Baseball. But remember that school spirit covers a wider range than merely “rooting” for a team. It is shown by the interest taken in studies, the behavior in classrooms and assembly hall, the care of books, and above all, in the deep-seated pride a student feels in any form of activity undertaken by the school. Remember the school is what the students make it and to attain a high grade of excellence, all must co-operate, for therein lies effective strength. Therefore, when any new movement is begun by the school, help to further it. for in so doing you not only advance the interest of the school but strengthen your own character as well. THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL The completion of the new Weatherwax High School marks an era in the history of the Aberdeen schools. The transition from the old congested building to the spacious, modern one is indeed a noteworthy event. Of a sudden the standard of the school will be raised, the curriculum of study will be enlarged, and liberties fitting dignified 39 High School students which were impossible in the old building, due to tin presence of the grade pupils, can now be indulged in. A complete course of Manual Training and Mechanical Draw-inv will be offered for the boys, while the girls will be given Hie opportunities of a Domestic Science course. Chemistry, French and Commercial Geography will be introduced. Io describe tin building is to describe any modern up-to-date High School building. Situated in the center of a block, with cement walks leading over the well-kept campus to the main entrance, it presents a pleasing sight. The building, three stories in height, contains, besides the classrooms, an auditorium fitted with balcony and opera chairs capable of seating seven hundred people. The gymnasium is complete in every detail, including shower baths for boys and girls and lockers for all. The school will contain a complete library, three laboratories, one on each Moor lor the different sciences, rest rooms for men and women teachers, a Hoard room, superintendent’s room and the principal s room. I In windows are so distributed as to give excellent light, but probably the most important is the splendid heating afforded by the automatic forced heating and ventilating system installed therein. The total cost is about one hundred and thirty thousand. dollars. THE ANNUAL. In the publication of the “Annual” by the Seniors, we .justly feel that we are instituting a custom that will be adopted by the graduating classes in years to come. A class leaving High School generally tries to leave behind some work by which it will be remembered. I his year it rested between a Senior Annual or a Senior play. After threshing out the merits of each, the former was decided upon. An Annual at it’s best is but a chronicle of events of fhe school year put into as interesting a form as possible; it is to furnish amusement for the present and bring back memories in the future. All are alike and it is difficult to introduce anything original. We have delved into this task without a precedence to go by and with very little experience to aid us—thus our apology for all short comings. Although this book is tin outcome of our best combined efforts, yet it has many faults, some which were unavoidable and others due to ignorance. Let the classes to come, as we could not, take this as a standard upon which they can correct and improve. Through these columns we wish to thank all who have so willingly offered their assistance—the business managers for their zeal in getting advertisements; tin assistant editor and circulation manager for the faithful discharge of their duties; the department editors for being so prompt with their material; the contributors for their interest shown; the teachers for their co-operation and aid in selecting material; the artist for his excellent drawings; the 40 commercial department for their valuable aid in typewriting the manuscripts; and. lastly, the advertisers for so willingly giving us their advertisements. COMMENCEMENT It might be well to add a few words concerning the program of Commencement week. The Baccalaureate sermon will he delivered by the Rev. C. McDermoth in the Congregational church on Sunday, June 5th. Tin usual Commencement exercises and dispensation of diplomas will take place at the Grand Theater on Friday evening, June l()th. Judge Thomas Burke, of Seattle, will be the main speaker of the evening. QUINIAULT. In naming our Annual the “Quiniault,” we think we are giving to it an appropriate name. The word itself, from the best authority we are able to get is an Indian word meaning “Stronghold.” From this a tribe of Indians living about fifty miles Northeast of Aberdeen on the Quiniault Reservation get their name. There are several ways of spelling the name, the most authentic of which we use. The word is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable. 41 City School Orchestra Harold Jones, Gardner Smith, J.

Sorrow’s Talisman Ballad of a Cat The Hermit Eculwine Spring Fever My Trip to Niagara Falls The Poets’ Spring ’’Initiates” 43 SORROW’S TALISMAN. (By Lance Ilart, ’ll). Prize Story “The solitude of many centuries had settled upon that silent v de. For many centuries doubtless it had remained unsolved, mystical and peaceful—with but one exception, and now, I pray that until eternity it shall ever sleep, unmoved by civilization’s advance and unexplored by the innate curiosity of man. T pray that it shall rest through the stillness of those tropic nights of heavy dew and pale unearthly vapor and days of scorching sun; that its great lizards and spiders basking in the intense beat on every naked rock and sunbaked patch of earth shall ever keep it company; and the wind, too, that passes along the cypress trees at nightfall. A temple once stood there, facing the open side of a great hill and the sea beyond. There yet. remains vast and immutable a slab of ebon blackness set within a facade of crumbling stone and on it is graven a figure, the strange and terrible deity of an extinct religion. Its many arms radiate from the body and one is held aloft, high above the head clinched as if invoking some awful sentence. So high, in fact, is that band held that the dying sun touches it last of all, burnishing it with a strange radiance so that it seems to glitter for a moment, before the sun has dipped below the horizon. One would swear, upon gazing intently, that the hand, scintillating there in the sunlight, moved slightly ere the Night's breath passed along the ruined temple and rustled among the leaves of the bushes, dying in sad cadence within the forest.” It is always the part of Americans to disturb the tranquility of such places, and their action often terminates in happiness or disaster. The story about to follow is, in fact, so widely distorted by the unreal, I little doubt that the reader will attribute the tale to the class of Munchausen. Pledged to one departed, I will now relate, in my poor way, the mystery that surrounded the most unfortunate of men. To me, the story offers little solution—it only increases tin horrible mystery I fain would fathom. Early in the last half of the past century, Gordon Burke, comparatively well-to-do and young, found himself wandering aimlessly through the easy going populaces of northern South America, vainly trying to forget his recent failure at Harvard and the death of a beloved mother. A fair knowledge of Spanish enabled him to traverse the beautiful country at ease, which seemed the only form of recreation that somewhat eased his troubled brain and weary heart. In a remote seacoast. where the hills abruptly met the sea was a vale, unexplored, avoided—scarce mentioned by the superstitious natives without the sign of the cross. After useless parleying and bartering for a guide, Burke set out alone to ascend the hill, beyond which lay the Unknown. A mountain village’s entire population watched him in silence while ashy faces moaned prayer upon prayer 44 and cast apprehensive glances until the American was a mere speck on the hillside, and then—dropped beyond the crest. His path led circuitously down the gravel slope, in and out among scrubby pines and thorny bushes. Farther down, flu hill branched into several deep wooded ravines of forbidding and gloomy appearance. Burke chose the darkest of these for his route for far below something caught his attention. The way led along a tiny rivulet whose pebbles were of unusual beauty and coloring, and over which it was necessary to cross instead of seeking a more difficult path through the rank vegetation along its banks. After an uncertain length of time the wanderer found the rivulet losing itself within a mound of grass and moss covered rock. A natural amphitheatre presented itself to him, unusually rugged and sparsely vegetated, excepting a rough crescent shape of cypress trees that grew at its base. And here must we ask the obliging reader to recall the opening words of this tale which are in almost the exact words of the late Gordon Burke, dr. lie plunged into his narration that way and bade me take it down but his story became so intense and labored (owing to the strange malady that had all but conquered him), I forgot to write and only listened openmouthed till the tale was finished and his talk rambled off into an incoherent paradox. But that glittering hand—it must have moved, for up to the face of the black slab went the American—up to the great face. He was finally able to gain just enough foothold to rise on his tiptoes and look upon the hands. It had been hard work—that climbing—and all of Burke’s attention had been drawn to the territory he was scaling, but when he looked—Good Heavens! There was an opal the size of a hen’s egg, and of such brilliance and beauty that lie gasped and blinked. There is a given time for admiration and then must come the work, so a jack-knife hacked and pried in the rather loose cement setting until the stone suddenly loosened from its resting place, disappeared over the black polished stones. Burke was amazed. It meant a search and the search meant a delay. The sun, too, was five minutes on its way to China. In the rank vegetation behind nothing could be found. Thinking that perhaps it had rolled under one of the numerous boulders, he turned to move one of the smaller ones. As he did so his left leg went through the turf—seemed to break through a crust and dangle in space. Naturally, as soon as the leg was taken out he put his head in and peered into the blackness below, and there, as sure as faith, was the big opal lying on the ffoor of the subterranean chamber. The ambitious one laborously made a hole large enough to drop through, but when the chill of that unknown vault struck his limbs lie pictured the horrors of the place into which he had fallen, and braced himself for the inevitable. Even as lie did the opal was in his hand and his eyes vainly searching the impenetrable gloom. A very feeble ray shone dully, almost reluctantly it seemed, from the hole above. The air was foul and poisonous, and he knew that 45 sooner or later it would overpower him. A thousand pictures, horribly fantastic, whirled and throbbed beneath his burning forehead. Suddenly the opal began to gleam—gleam—gleam, and from the recess of the gloom came a low, Oh-h-h,” dying into a deathly silence. A gust of cold, damp air breathed through the chamber and Burke plunged into the blackness in a vain attempt at escape, lie tripped and fell prone on the rocky floor, and that “Oh-h-h” nearer at hand. lie came to a half stooping, half raised posture and put forth that gleaming opal in a mad, vain search. Silence followed, but that silence was more horrible than the shireks and moaning of the Lost. Out of the darkness grew a shape, gigantic, pale, and terrible —the face of a man distorted by madness and many, many crimes, carved from a pale green luminous stone. But another face came out of that solitude—smaller yet—God ! A human face and yellowish, a sad, pitiful mouth but eyes that stared, jetty, sparkling, never moving, gazing straight ahead. Slowly, above those shoulders, clad in a gray indefinite material, came a hand and an arm that crept twitchinglv up the base of that green thing and bent forward, slowly crooking its finger and beckoning. The face broke into a grin, the lower jaw fell away, displaying rows of brilliant, hideous teeth. A strange weakening, an indescribable sickness came over Burke. He remembered dimly the face growing larger and larger and then running madly. When he came to himself again the moon was out and shone strangely white on his bared head. And he was alone on the hill side in the chill night. North again, and an older man, living quietly on a country estate in Central Kentucky. Then there came a girl into the story—as all good stories go— a beautiful girl with the customary eyes and hair and teeth of those we read about. But that was when she first met Burke. She loved him, too, most likely, for they were married one fall when the hills were scarlet, russet and gold. lie stood beside her at sunset and held within his hand a great flaming opal. She silently gazed, wondering, mystified until the sun was gone and the face of her husband was pale and sorrowful. But one child graced that household. He came, it seemed, to fill the lonely vacancy soon to follow. Yes, she went a year or so later. Burke was in the State Legislature then. He failed in business. The next term his party constituents fell away from him and he was left alone with his little son to think, and mourn the loss of her who had left him. He would hold his mystic opal in his hands at the day’s close and think and think—of rugged hills and crumbling temples, mighty images, and the chill of tropic nights on silent hillsides—yes, a certain face now dimly seen, now vast and terrible. Clinching a great, gleaming stone was a hand that presented itself to him at nightfall bringing an indescribable smothering sensation. Then came weary weeks of an unknown sickness that baffled 46 the skill of Kentucky’s best physicians. There was little doubt that his hours were numbered. lie sent for a Notary and completed the final preparations. The man went away wearing a strange expression. Burke. .Jr. was summoned before bis dying father. “Son, this will, perhaps, be the last opportunity for a discussion of your future between us two. 1 feel sometimes that I am leaving something unsaid in my talk with you, but I can only emphasize that you pursue your studies. Perhaps you have a great future before you. I hope so—I hope so. You’ll accomplish more than your old dad did. You remind me of your mother, lad. sweet, gentle and true. “I have little to leave you except this.’’ He drew from under the pillow a small lacquered box. “Take it- perhaps it will bring more good fortune to you than it did to me. I think, perhaps, you can get a good price from Weatherr—he has quite a passion for such things.’’ Burke Senior turned his face to tin1 wall and his son stole silently from the room with the black lacquered box in his hand. He entered the library below where a green shaded lamp burned low on a table h.eaped with books and papers. Here the young Burke sank into a great arm chair and began his investigation as lie pried open the lid of the t:ny box. The stone rolled out upon the table and lay glittering there in the lamplight. Somewhere in the house a door slammed and involuntarily tin boy seized the gleaming object and flung it into a secret drawer of the secretary. Almost as In did so there came a wild piercing cry from the chamber above. A cold draught swept through the bare halls of the house. The light flashed wildly up in the lamp and went out. Agitated beyond all description and cold with fear he sank motionless into a chair. Outside the storm gathered itself in fury and there came a rumbling of thunder growing louder and louder till with a great roar, accompanied by a vivid flash of lightning, something crashed. As that flash came the man upstairs saw his last scene, doubtless the same as In had seen it many years before. He was found the next day. white and motionless, with his hands covering his face. The morning light streamed through tin window across tin heap of books and papers and across the figure of a boy. lying as if he had fallen asleep at the table. He was carried away laughing and talking of opals and teeth and many hands, of gray clothed, green faced things that disturbed his sleep. Being a friend of the family 1 called on him later at the hospital. It was during an interval of consciousness that he told me this story of his father and his mother, whom he never remembered. and himself. Later In died, in a convulsion. I am told. To complete, the night of the storm a portion of the Burke house was struck by lightning—the portion adjoining the library. On the following day when the debris was cleared away they found a human arm mangled and mutilated by the rent timbers and apparently torn from a body. Near it was found a peculiar bit of crumbled glass, that glittered and shone strangely bright in the sunshine. 47 BALLAD OF A CAT (By Margaret Hogan, ’ll). A eat sat on a high board fence, A sleek black cat was he, In cat haunts noted for his sense; A cat of high degree. A feline through the alley hied, A foolish cat was he, And on the high board fence he spied The cat of high degree. lie hissed and sputtered then in wrath; The wise cat came not down, But looked upon the foolish cat With wise and lofty frown. “My reputation I would spoil,” The sleek black cat thought he, “And so I will not have a broil With cats of low degree.” Thus, many people in the world, On the verge of a reckless spree, Might learn many things of untold worth From the cat of high degree. 48 THE HERMIT. (By Gladys Keith, ’ll). It was not a particularly beautiful spot, but it attracted attention. Every square foot of the scene spelled the word mystery. First, to stumble upon a little cleared spot of perhaps a hundred feet square on the top of such a high mountain would excite curiosity and compel closer examination. Then the little cabin came into view, made of logs piled closely together with moss between them. It looked as if one of the early colonial homes had suddenly come into view. In front was a small garden tilled with all kinds of old fashioned flowers and most noticeable of all. was a mass ot pink roses which climbed the corner of the cabin, hiding a good share of it from sight. At the back was another small garden, not so pretty as the one in front, perhaps, because it contained the necessities of life rather than the pleasures, but still looking very fresh and neat. The door of the cabin opened. A young man stepped out, and seating himself in the doorway, took a book from his pocket and began to study it very closely, lie did not correspond with his surroundings, this studious young man, for In looked more like a college boy contemplating a game of tennis, than the owner of so queer a cottage. He was dressed in white flannels and on the back of his head, a little crookedly, reposed a Panama hat, for the sun was very hot that August afternoon. For an hour he sat there, never moving except to turn carefully a page of his book. Finally his head fell back against the door casing and the book dropped from his hands, lie did not notice it, however. Ills eyes closed and a weary expression (litted across bis handsome face showing plainly lines which nothing but deep thought and suffering could have traced there. Presently he spoke aloud, in a voice that suggested weariness. “It anyone had told me six vears ago that I would be up in this forsaken place at the present'time, leading the life of a hermit, never speaking to anyone except the village storekeeper, I would have promptly invited him out behind the hedge for a few rounds. Well may a fellow say ‘Life’s a funny proposition.’ Instead of standing up in a crowded court room pleading for some poor fellow’s life, as 1 had planned to do. I find myself five miles from habitation, hunting for birds and butterflies, milking a cow, making garden, and wasting my eloquence upon a couple of hounds. And all for the acts of one person. Everyone in the village is of the opinion that there was a ‘girl in the case.’ Little they know about it. But, come to think of it men are .just, as bad as girls. I put so much trust in Bob Carlton, I would have given my life for him and then to think he would deliberately tell such lies about me. Ye Gods! What a fool T was. At first. I wouldn’t even believe it. Then Tom proved it to me. I wish now I had waited until he came back from his honeymoon before I left, but I couldn’t bear to look on his deceiving face. Maybe I was a fool; I don’t know. I know one thing, however, I’ll never believe a person again. Birds, butterflies and dogs don’t 49 deceive one. I suppose I’m better off as— What the dickens?------” and too surprised to speak farther, Dick jumped to his feet and impolitely stared. At the edge of the clearing, calmy surveying the hermit and holding tightly to the neck of a large Newfoundland dog, stood a little girl. She was dressed in white and from under her large white hat, short brown curls peeped out. “Jove,” ejaculated the hermit to himself, “of all things.” Then advancing a few steps toward her said: “Iley, come here, won’t you? I’d like to talk to you.” With not a trace of bashfullness or hesitancy she obeyed, dragging the big dog after her. “What’s your name, girlie?” inquired Dick, as she stopped in front of him. “Dieksie,” she replied turning two full brown eyes on him. “And this is Caesar. Isn’t he a nice dog? If he wasn’t here I’d think 1 was lost, but of course no one can get lost with Caesar.” “He’s certainly a fine dog,” replied Dick, “and lie’s well named. By the way, you said your name was Dieksie. What’s your other name? But wait, you must be hungry. I’ll get you some fresh milk and some bread, then you can tell me,” and Dick hurried into the house. In a minute he returned bringing a pitcher of creamy milk and a plate of bread and cake. Between mouthfuls she gave the desired information—and more. “My name’s Dieksie Carlton. I’m five. My birthday was Friday. I think Dieksie’s a pretty name, don’t you? I’m named after a man named Dick.” ‘‘Carlton, ’’ ejaculated Dick. Then to her he demanded, ‘ Where do you live? How did you get here? Who is Dick?” Without paying any attention to Dick’s excitement, Dieksie candy proceeded to eat her fourth piece of cake and then replied, “We’re camping on the mountain, somewhere, Caesar and me ran away. Maybe I know the way back, I don’t know. I guess Caesar does.” “But who is Dick?” the hermit demanded impatiently, “What’s his other name?” “I don’t know,” replied Dieksie. “This cake is good. Did you make it all your own self? I’m going to learn to make cake when I get big. All I know is his name is Dick. He went to school with Daddy, but he’s gone now, I guess he didn’t like Daddy, ’cause he never told him where he was going. Wasn’t he mean? I heard Daddy tell mamma something about old fools telling lies, once when they were talking about Dick. I guess Mamma will be wondering where I am. Maybe Daddy will be looking for me. Come on Caesar, wTe must----” “Wait a minute Dieksie,” Dick interposed, “I’m looking for your father, so I guess we can go together.” Gladys Keith, ’ll. 50 ECULWINE (By Rhea Rupert, ’10). Thou art gone, Oh, Eculwine! Thy shady nooks and trailing vine, Are torn down by the woodman’s hand, The most noble spot in forest’s land. Thy rippling brooks, and shady trees, Through which blew soft the sighing breeze, The tender ferns, the springy moss, Are gone forever—all are lost. There first the early trillium grew Made fresh by falling evening dew. There first the violet reared her head, And bleeding heart blushed rosy red. But, Eculwine, thou are no more. I’ll read no more of ancient lore Neath thy cool trees, by thy fair stream, Those days I loved are as a dream. For now, demands of our great nation Have ruined my loved habitation. So, with a sigh, I turn my muse To other scenes, to other views. Breezes blowing soft and cool, Nobody wants to stay in school, But would rather be in the country, say Helping the farmer making hay. The birds are calling, seems to me. Gee. wouldn’t I like to go out and see The swallows Hitting across the sky, And the robin building his nest on high. I’d like to he out by a shady brook, Passing the time with a line and hook And when I get home at the end of the day To tell of the “big one” that got away. Every thing’s so nice out there, Sun’s a-shining, bright and fair Out in the woods its so nice and cool. Gee, but I hate to stay in school. SPRING FEVER. Aubrey Archer, ’12. 51 MY TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS (By Aaron Newell.) From the time 1 studied Geography in the grades, the words Whirl-pool Rapids, Goat Island and Niagara Falls had strongly appealed to my imagination and I often promised myself that if ever the opportunity came of visiting those places it would be grasped forthwith. During my early summer vacation a few years ago the opportunity came; with a moderate supply of money and an ample supply of time, I purchased a ticket on the 20th Century Limited in Chicago for Buffalo. It was in the early afternoon when the train pulled out of the smoky, dusty yards of the Windy City; as we passed along we noted the broad level strips of country in Northern Indiana and Ohio thickly clustered with green orchards and spacious farms. Cleveland was the largest and most interesting city through which we passed, but the train on which we were traveling allowed llo stopovers, howsoever, much we would have enjoyed a stroll through Euclid Avenue or a pilgrimage to the Garfield Monument. It was past midnight when we arrived in Buffalo. The next morning we were astir early to see what we could of this great lake port, the early political home of former President Grover Cleveland and the western terminus of the Erie Canal. It was at that time apparently a dingy, unkempt city, just beginning to take on the suburban character for which it is now fast becoming noted. Boats of nearly every description were in port emptying grain at her fifty-one elevators or loading coal and general merchandise for the upper Lake Superior ports. Upon inquiry we found two ways of getting from the city to the Falls; either by steam car, which takes one-half hour, or by trolley, by means of which we could see the natural beauty of the surrounding country more easily. We chose the latter method and were soon passing along the shores of the Lower Niagara river which stretches over twenty miles to the north before it becomes lost in the southern part of Lake Ontario. It was not long before wo began to hear the never ending roar of the falling water which increased in intensity as we approached; it is said at times that this subdued roaring is heard at a distance of forty or fifty miles from the Falls. Finally as we emerged from a clustre of June verdure, the groat cataract stood forth in all its grandeur. We alighted from the car about a quarter of a mile distant from the Falls; we were given our choice of descending a tunneled causeway to board the dreamy little steamer “Maid of the Mist” for a trip below the Falls or to taking the trip across the bridge which spans the American Falls of Goat Island. Considering the matter horridly, we decided that the chances of our leaving the Natural Wonder with a good taste in our mouths would be greatly increased if we took the boat trip first; so we were soon passing through the little tunnel to the boat landing. Here we were requested to deposit a dollar lest we, upon our 52 return might forget to return the rubber coats and hats which were furnished us for our trip under the Falls. The little “Maid of the Mist” is a strongly built boat and we were very rapidly bourne by her upon the breast of the seething, boiling waters almost into the very torrent itself. By looking upward 165 feet we could see that the water separated before falling into two great cataracts __the American Falls on the left and that of Horseshoe or Canadian Falls on the right with the verdant Goat Island lying between. The first part of our boat trip brought us almost directly under the American Falls but the sun effect was not such just then as to produce the rainbows for which this weird place is often remarkable; soon our prow was pointed for the side of the Horseshoe halls, and here we had the pleasure of seeing half a dozen rainbows in less time than it takes to relate the appearance; all on board were so enraptured with the beauty of the rainbows and so spellbound by the sight of the awful plunge of the half million tons of water every minute over the Falls that the Captain allowed our boat to remain some little time in this position. Finally we were turned about and taken for a little trip through the rapids below. The scenery here is almost as interesting as that of the Falls themselves as the current of the Niagara is very swift and passes between banks which rise perpendicularly almost three hundred teet. This part of our sight-seeing over, with few cases of sea-sickness to our credit, we crossed the bridge to Goat Island; later we visited the Cave of the inds and saw the tailing water from the under side; here again at places the rainbow effects of the falling mist were marvelous. After a visit to the Suspension Bridge, we wended our way back to the city. Being in Buffalo the next day, we decided we must see the Erie Canal; here was the great surprise of our trip. Having read of the gigantic plans of construction of this artificial waterway budded between 1820 and 1826, the millions of money invested and the enormous bulk of freight carried through it, we naturally expected to see a well kept channel through which would be flowing a stream of clear Lake Erie water; what we did see as we finally approached it was an almost stagnant pool, looking for all the world like an abandoned mill race; the tow paths over which the youthful Garfield was said to have driven his boat horse were no longer visible; the whole filled one with a feeling ot dilapidation and disappointment. We wandered slowly down to the Wabash Station and with the subdued roaring of the mighty Niagara still lingering in our ears, we boarded the train for the return journey. Aaron Newell. 53 THE POETS’ SPRING (By Alexander Lackey, ’ll). In musing attitude I take my pen; And thinking of approaching Spring, I wonder how the poet mem It’s many praises would sing. Then delving into dusty archives I found the poet’s joyful rhymes. I studied all about their lives, And read their praises of the Springtimes. Ami now can you imagine what I did? Ah ! Vain was I; for soon I took my pen To write poetry I thought would bid To equal that of some great poet men. And so I tried with eager heart; And here is my result in part: Oh! Spring, yres balmy Spring, Has broken Winter’s chilly grasp. The birds again begin to sing Their tree-top carols. And we with life and vigor new. Our hearts a-tune, join in the festive chorus And show our gratitude by all we do; In balmy Spring. Then I, returning to a dusky hook. Where Edgar Allen Poe dwells; Commenced to write, curled in a cosy nook, A song of Spring, suggested by “The Bells.” Hear the music of the birds; Happy birds! What a festive chorus can he heard; How they chirrup, chirrup, chirrup. In the balmy air of Spring; While the sun that clear up In the Heavens, seems to cheer-up Every' silent voice to sing; Singing twit, twit, twee In a high and piercing key, While the chorus ever louder can be heard, Of the birds, birds, birds, birds,— Birds, birds, birds, Of the happy, teeming throng of birds. 54 Then, looking thru the works of other men, To those of Goldsmith I did turn; And wandering through it, I took up my pen To sketeli his view of Spring from “Sweet Auburn:” Sweet Spring, lovliest season of the year, Is full of health and pleasant cheer— It smiles as it a welcome visit pays, Destroying all which parting Winter displays— Dear lovely Spring of sunshine and of song. Joy of the youth when all the days are long— How often does he roll o’er grasses green, And sport in every flowing stream? How often does he ponder o’er each charm— The shady woods, the meadow farm, The babbling brook, each little rill, The flowers that cover ev’ry hill. Again I looked the dusty volumes o’er, And chanced on those of Longfellow. I saw Hiawatha renowned in folklore; And wrote a hit of verse with that to follow: Should you ask me why I praise the Spring. With the pleasantry of forest, With the dewy,wavy meadows, With the charming sun of noon-day, With the ripple of the streams, With their soft and merry murmurs. As the tinkling of the bells? I should answer. I should tell you. Prom the forests and the prairies, From the busy eastern slope, From the rough and rocky Westland, From the sunny land of cotton, From the cold and bitter Northland, Come the praises of the Spring, Placing health and plenty In the hands of rich and poor alike. That is why I love the Springtime, That is why I sing its praises, That is why I love to tell you, Of its wondrous many beauties. How tired I am; my eyelids sting; How hateful is this tiresome work; But still, I ought to do something That I should never, never shirk. To all those wondrous poet men Whose works I’ve dragged apart, I owe apologies; and then------ Next time, such work I’ll never start. 55 “INITIATUS. ” (By Alexander Lackey, ’ll). Down deep in tin sequestered solitude of a densely wooded vale, where the air is tinged with the fragrance of evergreen, and the solitude is oppressive, where a narrow stream saunters along with scarcely a ripple to disclose its approach, there once stood a rustic clubhouse, painted black, rendering it in keeping with its solemn surrounding. The roof projected very much and ornate cornices heightened the picturesqueness. The windows were all small and the only entrance was a large door. A very tortuous path, which doubled and circled and wound through the wood, led to the house. Over the door on a bronze plate was enscribed: “Kota, Kan., Founded, 1888.” Time and weather have done their work. The path is entirely obliterated, the house is in ruins. The solitude still remains more oppressive than ever; the stream, as placid as formerly, scarce shedding a tear for tin destruction of such a beautiful retreat. No more do the happy reckless Kota Kans seek their forest home; no more does the shriek of some, ill-fated recruit, being initiated into the intricacies of the club-routine, ring through the vale, disturbing its habitual solitude. I sit. in silence now, struggling with my emotions, as 1 see the desolation and ruin of my old secluded retreat. Could all the old boys be with me now, no doubt they would all utter a wail of anguish against the cruel flight of time. Each one would think, as I do, of happy, golden days, when pleasure reigned, King of all. Observations of old time things, bring recollections. For one short time I forgot my sorrow at the scene before me, in the pleasant, dream-like reminiscence of my initiation into the “Kota Kan.” •« « I was seized suddenly from behind, I knew not by whom. I was blindfolded and gagged before 1 could utter a sound; my hands secured but my feet were left free. Then my assailants led me off, where I was going and what would follow remained yet to be seen. After a short walk in which I could only recognize the elevations and depressions in the path, I suddenly stumbled and pitched forward. Instead of striking the ground, as I fully expected, it seemed as if I had plunged headlong over a cliff. I went down and down, then stopped. I was infinitely surprised. I had hit nothing, had felt no jolt, there was nothing by which 1 was held; in fact, I had defied the laws of gravitation and was floating in mid-air. As best I could I extended my hands, which had been tied together in front of me, in every way possible—nothing but air. I cried out in astonishment. Then— I seemed to be moving again. A queer, sickening feeling came over me; my head became dizzy. Then I 56 kUew,— I Was whirling over and over in mid-air in some strange place. The blindfold fell from my eyes. I was sitting on the cold damp earth in inky darkness. Suddenly before me, so as to entirely blind me for a moment, there shot an extremely white light and, I beheld my predicament. I was in a cave around the sides of which were grotesque curtains. In tin1 exact center of them was a line of hideous snakes, running entirely around the cave. To increase my horror, the serpents began to move, writhing slowly along, making an indescribable rustling noise. I shrieked and attempted to rise only t.o find I was fastened securely to the ground. Then, as if to mock my terror, there appeared from the gloomy darkness near the curtains, many heads, ghostlike and uncanny, with strong fixed eyes and mouths with tusks protruding. I shrieked again—they moved steadily towards me. 1 struggled and shouted, yet even as I did so two lean white hands were addl'd to each head, stretched out in the very attitude of grasping me. I shuddered, I could shriek no more. The horrible, hideous heads were upon me. The voices of rustling waters fell upon my senses. All around was inky darkness. I lay tightly bound in a canoe, which lurched and rolled as it sped through the turbid waters. I could not imagine where I could be taken. There would be horrors accompanying my journey, I knew, and they could scarcely be less than those I had already perceived. Suddenly in the black space before me I seemed to hear a faint, dull roar above the rushing of the rapids. As the noise increased the awful realization of my fate again flashed over me. Before me there was a fall over which I must needs go because I was helpless. Struggling was of no avail and the awfulness of the impending calamity overcame any tendency to cry out. The roar became as intense as rolling thunder. The canoe shot forward at a terrific rate. The din was deafening. Then—I went over, down—down—down, down into the abyss below—down into oblivion. The desolate retreat still lay before me. I burst into bitter tears, and covering my eyes. I ran from the spot, too dear to even view.

The Football season opened October 2nd. at Tacoma and we all waited anxiously for the result as tin Tacoma game generally gives a line on the team and points out tin weak places. But racoma, who had run over us for so many seasons was due to a great surprise. In the first half she could do nothing against our line, while Black-well and White and Wood went through their line for long gains. The first half ended 0 to 0 and the Tacoma coach, rather than suffer defeat, sent Ktaatz and Robbins into the line. The first score of tin game came when Tacoma punted to Aberdeen’s five yard line and White was thrown over the line for a safety while trying to round the end. score Tacoma 2, Aberdeen 0. The rest of the game was near the center of the field until the last three minute's of play, when Jacquoits got away with a delayed pass and scored Tacoma’s only touch-down. Final score, Tacoma 7. Aberdeen 0. CENTRALIA. vs. ABERDEEN. The second game of the season was October 9, and was a poor exhibition from start to finish. This game was won by Centralia on a fluke, when after trying a forward pass, which was fumbled, a Centralia man recovered the ball and crossed the goal line in the last second of play. Final score, Centralia 11. Aberdeen 7. IIOQCIAM vs. ABERDEEN. The next game came on Saturday, October 16. with our old enemy Iloquiam. They had beaten us so badly last year they were sure of an easy victory, but alas, their hopes soon turned to fears and the fears to sad realization, for when the game was over. Aberdeen had registered 6 points to Iloquiam’s 0. The main feature of this game was when Iloquiam, on Aberdeen s 2-yard line, tried to cross three times, then fumbled and recovered the ball and tried three more times but all to no avail, for in the six downs they had gained just one-half yards; then followed a long punt by Blackwell and Hoquiam’s chance of winning was lost. It was at Ibis critical moment that Bert Glidden showed that great defensive work which marked him the best defensive end in the Southwest. 61 GLIDDEN, SPRINGER, BLACKWELL, CROSS, (MKr. (WOOD Missing) MOULTON, FAULKNER, BELTZ, PINKNEY. MOYER. (Coach) RJDELOStt. VANUCIE, WHITE, (Capt.) PENNOYER, PHILLIPS. OLYMPIA vs. ABERDEEN. After defeating Iloquiam so handily, the team journeyed to Olympia with hopes high, nor were they disappointed, for by using Blackwell to advantage, and by great defensive work on the part of the whole team, they won their second victory to the tune of 21 to 11. CENTRA LI A vs. ABERDEEN. After defeating Olympia on their own grounds the boys, came home and went into hard training, for the next game was to be with Centralia and if they should lose to them again, our chances for the Championship would disappear. The boys worked very hard that week and Coach Moyer introduced some new and wonderful plays to help swell the score. The result of all this hard training was easily seen on the day of the game, for after tearing up and down the field for forty-five minutes the boys walked off the field declared victors by a score of 17 to 0. OLYMPIA vs. ABERDEEN. After defeating Centralia and securing a place in the Championship row, Olympia paid us a visit and surprised us mightily, for while they had no chance to score at any point of the game, they held us down to one touchdown and the game ended ti to 0 in our favor. IIOQUIAM vs. ABERDEEN. Now came the last and hardest struggle of the year, for both Iloquiam and Aberdeen High Schools were in line for the Football Championship of the Southwest. If Iloquiam won we would have to play one more game to decide the Championship, while if we won it was ours beyond question. So after disposing of their usual Thanksgiving meal, all the loyal supporters of both High Schools hurried to Electric Park to view the great contest. The lines of both teams held like stone walls and it seemed impossible to gain any great advantage. Close to the end of the first half, Iloquiam scored a safety on a blocked punt and the first half ended. Iloquiam 2. Aberdeen 0. This looked bad, but after a most eloquent curtain lecture bv Coach Moyer the boys came back resolved to “do or die,” and do they did, for soon after the second half began, Capt. White taking an onside kick from Iloquiam, tore down the field for an 80-yard run and crossed the line for the first touchdown of the game. Pandemonium reigned until after Black-well kicked goal. But from then on it was see-saw back apd forth near the middle of the field, where with only three seconds to play, Iloquiam tried a forward pass B. DeLosh caught and carried up the field for 35 yards to the goal posts for the second touchdown. So the great contest ended 12 to 2 in our favor and the Football Championship of Southwestern Washington was ours. 63 LEWIS WHITE “Scoovy” as lit is known, lias been the backbone of the football team. He has played left half for three years and has served as captain for two years. The only thing we regret is that “Scoovy” can be with us but one year more. 64 BASKETBALL In Basketball, although not as successful as Football, Aberdeen made a fair showing. When the season opened, the prospects were good for one of the fastest teams ever turned out of the Aberdeen High School, as all but one of last year’s team was back. But hard luck seemed to lx with us; two of our star players were unable to play, leaving us in a crippled condition during the first of the season. A. II. S. vs. ELMA. On Doc. 11, Elina High School came to Aberdeen for the first game of the season. The game was slow and uninteresting, some of the Aberdeen team being unused to their positions, could not play their best. Elma played a steady game, using good team work, but seemed unable to make baskets. Aberdeen won by the score of 21 to 1!). The line up for Aberdeen was as follows: Aubrey Cross and Stanley DeLosh, forwards; Ira Blackwell and Ralph Faulkner, guards; Will Moulton (Capt,.), center. A. II. S. vs. ELMA. On Jan. 14, Aberdeen started on a three day trip, the first team played was Elma. Aberdeen put up a poor game. They continually lost the ball in the rafters and seemed unable to play together. While Elma, not contented with playing on the floor, started the inhuman tactics of running up the wall and shooting baskets from above. If Aberdeen tried any fancy “stunts” they were generally fouled. Elma won by the score of 82 to 13. The line up was Faulkner, center; Blackwell and Cross, guards; l)e Losh and Moulton, forwards and Vanucie, sub. ABERDEEN vs. CENTRALIA. On Jan. 15, Aberdeen lost to Centralia 37 to 10. Although onesided, the game was fast; few fouls were called during the game. Centralia had the advantage over Aberdeen in weight and, as the men were much taller than Aberdeen, they were hard to guard. Centralia worked their signals at will and showed some good work in passing. In the second half Vanucie took DeLosh’s place in hopes of strengthening the team, but little advantage was gained. The feature of the game was the long basket made by Faulkner. ABERDEEN AT CHEHALIS. After the drubbings from Elma and Centralia. Aberdeen journeyed over to Chehalis. Chehalis seemed over-confident and boasted of what they would do. They started with a dash, but soon slowed up and played a poor game. Aberdeen played hard and fast, winning by a score of 28 to 14. CENTRALIA AT ABERDEEN. On January 28, Centralia came to Aberdeen to play a return game. Since their trip, the Aberdeen team had been practicing 65 hard and was in excellent shape. This was one of the fastest games ever played on the Aberdeen door. From the time the whistle blew until the game was over the decision was doubtful. At the end of the first half Centralia was five points ahead. In the second half, Centralia kept the lead, every time Aberdeen got a basket, Centralia would get one and even things up. Aberdeen gained one point during the half and the final score was 22 to 18 in Central ia’s favor. A large crowd witnessed the game. On February 11, Olympia played Aberdeen in Aberdeen, losing by the score of 27 to 21. The game was slow throughout, Aberdeen playing hard for the first few minutes of each half. In the second half the Aberdeen team became disheartened by the Olympia official calling fouls for alleged roughness on the part of the Aberdeen players. On February 25, Aberdeen set out for Olympia to finish up the season. Owing to the intense heat in the Olympia gym, Aberdeen played a slow game during the first half, the score standing 10 to 6 in Olympia’s favor. Olympia seemed to think the game won and during the intermission kept up a yell of “What’s the score, ten to six and will be more.” Their prophecy was true for Aberdeen. Cross started things by making a sensational basket from the middle of the floor and as a result Aberdeen was soon about six points in the lead. Aberdeen kept the lead the rest of the game, winning by .a score of 22 to 17. Vanucie, who took Faulkner’s place at center, played a strong defensive game. Much interest was taken in class games this year. And the unexpected turned up in some cases. Little consideration was given the Freshmen. When they won the first game it was considered luck, but as they never lost a game and won the championship, it can be considered as nothing but superior playing. The teams finished as follows: Freshmen, Juniors, Sophomores and Seniors. The team turned out this year is undoubtedly the best one that has ever represented the High School. The battery work was well taken care of by Faulkner, McDer-moth and Madison, while Scott, Blackwell and Reid formed a well balanced trio of fly chasers. The infield composed of Zelasko, Capt. Wood, B. Glidden and Hause formed a good fielding combination. Two games were played with the Aberdeen State League team and one with Montesano and the High School team made a very good showing in each. Following is the schedule of games played this season: OLYMPIA AT ABERDEEN. ABERDEEN AT OLYMPIA. CLASS GAMES BASEBALL 66 p . t'.-by Tjv t ; • FAULKNER. VANUCIE, MOYER, (Coach) BLACKWELL, M r.)

When Faulkner threw wild to Madison in attempting to catch a runner at the plate in the fourth inning of the game of April 19th, he allowed Hoquiam to score three runs, thereby carrying off the game by the score of 4 to 3. It was an excellent game, very exciting and enlivened by some of the most approved rooting, such as is always seen in contests between Aberdeen and Hoquiam. The work of the Aberdeen High School was of an unusual class. Faulkner pitched a masterly game, getting himself out of many bad holes and kept the hits well scattered. It. cannot be said that Hoquiam won on their merits, as they were outfielded and outbatted, but Aberdeen’s lone error proved to be their undoing. The score: R. II. E.

Thursday, May 5th, Aberdeen played the Chehalis High School nine at the Electric Park. It was a stubbornly fought contest, being a pitcher’s battle between Callahan of Chehalis and Faulkner, who pitched for the Aberdeen High School. By an overthrow to third base in an effort to catch a runner, Chehalis scored the only run of the game, winning 1 to 0. Hits were few and far between, Callahan yielding only one, while Chehalis secured two singles off of Faulkner's delivery. Both pitchers were invincible in the pinches and when a hit was needed they either struck out the batter or forced him to pop up an easy fly. Callahan struck out eleven men, while Faulkner sent thirteen men to the bench on strike outs. The score: R. H. E.

Both Coach Moyer and the players were enthusiastic, and they put out a fast team with perfect team work. The players were: Forwards, Rhea Rupert, Meg Ilogan and Wilda Smith; Centers, Vera Johnston, Raymond Hogan and Zoora Karshner; Guards, Bessie Creech and Mabel McClymont, (Capt.) ELMA 7 vs. ABERDEEN 9. The first game of the Basketball season was played on December 17, with the Elma High School at the A. H. S gymnasium. It was a clean, fast game and though Elma scored the first point, the game ended with a score of 7 to 9 in favor of the Aberdeen girls. OLYMPIA 9 vs. ABERDEEN PI. On January 15, the Olympia High School girls played tin Aberdeen girls at the High School gym. Olympia scored the first point and at the end of the first half the score was 7 to 1 in their favor. In the second half, the Aberdeen girls raised the score, so at the end of the game it was 9 to PI in their favor. SHELTON 9 vs. ABERDEEN 9. On Friday, February 11, the Aberdeen team went to Olympia and from there by boat to Shelton, where they landed at 8:00 P. M. The game was very uninteresting, being broken up by arguments between the Referee and Umpire. Unaccustomed fouls were called on the Aberdeen players; nevertheless the first half ended with a score of 3 to 6 in favor of Aberdeen. Though the Aberdeen players excelled in their quick playing, tin team work of the second half was completely broken up by arguments. The game ended with a score of 9 to 9, Aberdeen making one point on fouls and Shelton 7. The tie was not played out because of the lateness of the hour, the game consisting of two fifteen minute halves, having taken two hours. OLYMPIA :) vs. ABERDEEN 11. On Saturday, February 12, the team went back to Olympia on the noon boat, and played the game there that evening in tin Olympia High School Gym., which is in the third story of their High School building and very small. Despite the smallness of the gym. and the fact that the first half ended in Olympia’s favor, our girls ended the game as victors with a score of 11 to 9. SHELTON 7 vs. ABERDEEN 5. The last game of the season was played at the High School Gym. on February 25, between Shelton and Aberdeen. This game was to decide the championship of Southwestern Washington and so created much interest. The first half ended with a score of 4 to 2 in favor of Shelton. The Aberdeen girls played a hard game, but the team work was broken up by arguments and thus hindered them greatly. The game ended with a score of 7 to 5 in favor of 70 Shelton, but if Aberdeen had had a little more time which was really due them, they would surely have carried away the honors. After the game the Aberdeen B. B. girls and some of the High School boys entertained the Shelton team and their friends at the Hotel Washington. The place of toast master was filled exceptional.'' well by Mr. McClure. Speeches were given by various students and the faculty. Miss Rhea Rupert gave the welcome to the guests. Miss Dora Fredson. Captain and Managei of the Shelton team was called on to respond, but shifted her duty to Judge Beech, of Khel-•on. who was present. Conrad Knudsen spoke of the value of inter-scholastic athletics. The theme of Claude Smith was “The Relation of Basketball to Ilig’ er Learning.” Alanson McDermoth, “Girls’ Basketball from a B ys’ Standpoint.” Mr. Miller toasted tin Aberdeen players with the following original lines: TOAST TO THE ABERDEEN BASKETBALL GIRL. They speak of the Shelton Basketball Girl As a Creature most divine, And laud the Olympia players As something superfine; You may praise the Elma forwards As they keep the ball awhirl. But the quickest of all, when the rest is said Is the Aberdeen Basketball Girl. She can put her hands with royal skill To Domestic Science arts. She storms the heart of the High School boy With her fudge and pies and tarts; She’s always at the Football matches, .She s first with the Baseball nine, Her yelling is great in Oratory and Debate When such things are in line. 1 here is not a lace that can take her place In the High School activities awhirl. Then here’s to our theme, the High School queen The Aberdeen Basketball Girl. Mr. Loop concluded the speeches of the evening by thanking the Aberdeen team for the pleasant evening they had spent, remarking that our players were good losers. Wlnle at the table, word was received from Coach Moyer in Olympia, that our boys had been victorious over the Olympia players and cheers arose from that little gathering that almost shook'the building. During the evening, flowers were sent in to both teams by W. J. Patterson. The visitors received carnations, and the vanquished violets. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS CO L- CR1S BELT Z, President.

Enthusiasm in this line of work was shown early in tin spring, for there were some twenty contestants who tried out in the preliminaries for the local contest. Eight of these were chosen hy members of tin Faculty. These were: Marguerite Cook, Made- line Harrison, Elizabeth Kav, Claude Smith. Russell Mack, John May, Aubrey Archer and Aubrey Cross. Two weeks after the preliminaries, on April S, the local contest was held at tin Presbyterian church before a moderately filled house. Each of the seven contestants did well, and received merited applause from the audience. The decision was a close one and the judges had a hard time, but after a lengthy consideration, the silver medal was awarded to Russell Mack. Marguerite Cook and Aubrey Cross tied for second place. The medal was awarded hy W. W. Hart, President of Ihe Hoard of Education, who acted as Chairman. The speeches were as follows: PROGRAM Supposed Speech of John Adams...............John May “The Polish Boy” ....................Madeline Harrison The Curse of Regulus”...................Aubrey Archer “Toussaint I Ouverture” ..................Claude Smith “The Bear Story”......................Marguerite Cook “Speech of Vindication”..........................Aubrey Cross “An Appeal to Arms”.............................Russell Mack The local contests, conducted by Mr. Miller, are the means of choosing a contestant for the County Contest which is held later. Russell Mack, of course, represented tlx local High School in that contest, which was held in Cosmopolis. .Miss Anna Stream of IIo-quiam. won first honors, Cosmopolis took second place. Russell was voted third. Other schools represented were: Montesano Oakville, and Elma. The judges were: Mr. Hitt, Mr. Nalder, and Mr. Salesman, who judged us in debate. Mr. Nalder presented the medal. DEBATE The successes gained in debate this year have been m st flattering. With the tireless energy of Mr. Miller, the coach, and the enthusiasm manifested by the student body, the team has been able to carry off honors by winning the State Championship in one of the three districts of the State. The question for debate was: “Resolved. That the cities of the Northwest of over fifty thousand inhabitants should institute a commission form of government modeled after that of Des Moines, 76 Iowa, provided that the negative proposes no other form of commission government. This question is a live one, having elicited much interest among citizens and politicians alike. The fact that the commission form of government has been successfully tried out in a great many cities and its adoption in Tacoma gave the question a popular appeal which was evidenced by the large attendance at each of the debates. Early in the school year much enthusiasm was evinced by the students. A preliminary debate, held in September, in which six students participated, was the means of choosing the three, who represented the school in the series of State debates begun in December. The six participants were Marguerite Cook, Nan Allard (a member of last years’ team) Russell Mack, Lance Hart, (on team of year previous), Bert (Hidden and Frederick Hart. The winners in the order chosen were: Lance Hart, first; Russell Mack, second; and Frederick Hart, third. It, was not until the first of November that Mr. Miller was notified that we, with the negative, were pitted against Tacoma at that city. However, with successful negotiations, owing to the fact that our team had gone to Tacoma the year before, it was decided to hold the debate in Aberdeen. The first debate was held December 12. Tacoma entered the contest with considerable confidence, growing out of the fact that they had been declared the victors over us in the State Semi-final contest last year. They also felt they were defending the best city government in the United States, owing to the fact that the people of their city, by an overwhelming vote, had recently put the plan in operation. It was sweet revenge for the local High School, as the judges decided unanimously in our favor. Those on the Tacoma team were: Irvine Scott, Joe Ilavel and Harry Morissette, speaking in the order named with Morissette taking the rebuttal. The order of speaking on the negative was: Frederick Hart, first; Russell Mack, second and Lance Hart, third, also taking tin rebuttal. The judges were: State Librarian Hitt, Asst. State Supt. Nalder, ami Supt. of Schools, McClellan, all of Olympia. Owing to the forfeiture of Elma, Aberdeen did not participate in the second series and did not appear again until the Semi-finals. In this contest we met Centralia, who had defeated Olympia and Auburn. Aberdeen was somewhat handicapped by having had to change sides and prepare for the battle in four weeks. The debate was held in Centralia and was an exceedingly close one. Aberdeen was awarded the decision by a vote of two to one of the judges. Those on the Centralia team were: Lloyd Dysart and Ray Grass, the former taking the rebuttal. This is the best team that Centralia has ever turned out and should give a good account of themselves in the State series next year. Upon receiving news that we were to keep the affirmative side of the question against Kennewick, the local team set to work with renewed vigor to win the State Final. The Kennewick representatives, which had come to Aberdeen with laurels won in other fields and with high hopes of wresting the prowess from the local team, 77 were: Miss Jennie Perry and Miss Ella Hamilton, who took the rebuttal. Probably in one of the closest and hardest fought battles ever witnessed here, Aberdeen finally succeeded in winning by a vote of two to one. The audience attracted by the final contest was very largo and manifested its approval of the verdict by shouts and cheers. The winners were the recipients of a fifty dollar prize, presented by Snpt. Dewey, who had come for the occasion. The judges were, kev. George Edmunds, of Olympia, Prof. Morgan of the Ellonsbmg Normal School, and II. Nagill, Asst. Attorney General. Concerning this, a letter from State Snpt. Dewey to Snpt. Wilson will show his opinion of the contest. “Supt. Wilson: Dear Sir: 1 congratulate you upon the work done by your team at the debate on Friday evening of last week. The debate was exceedingly well handled by both sides and was as close a debate as I have ever had the opportunity of listening to. 1 wish especially to commend the pupils of the High School for their generous attitude toward their opponents. The applause that greeted the speakers was fairly equal and the audience seemed remarkably fair. It is only a few years ago that we had no such spirit among the High School boys and girls of the State. I wish the boys would send me an abstract of their speeches to use either in the biennial report or the school journal. Very truly yours, HENRY B. DEWEY,” State Superintendent. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE One of the most pretentious, interesting and successful amateur performances ever played to a crowded house in the Grand Theatre, was “The Merchant of Venice,” which was put upon the boards New Year’s night by the English Dapartment of the A. II. S. The work of the students in the cast showed they had received unusual training and their efforts crowned weeks of hard work upon the part of Professor M. L. Greenleaf, their instructor. Snpt. Wilson and the entire school faculty have reason to be proud of the showing made by the students in as difficult a play as “The Merchant of Venice.” The play was given for pecuniary interests and partly for an artistic enterprise. The proceeds were donated to the “Ocean Breeze,” which was then in debt. In connection with the play the special scenery deserves attention. A beautiful Venetian background, illustrating a sunset in Venice after Turner’s picture, was painted by Lance Hart. The costumes for the production, obtained by Mr. Greenleaf in Portland, were rich and appropriate. Unfortunately there were no pictures taken of the cast or any member of it in these costumes, so none will appear in this Annual. The Eighth Grade Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Hodge, Principal of the Franklin School, furnished excellent music and the 78 big crowd voiced its approval by frequent and generous applause. In speaking of music, mention should be made of the solo of Miss Nan Allard in the casket scene, which was rendered with much feeling and expression. To give a Shakespearian play had for a long time been the desire of the English Department, for its benefit to the school can scarcely be estimated from a literary, as well as an artistic standpoint. The enthusiasm of Miss Fogle; the skillful training of Mr. Greenleaf; the faithful work of the amateur actors, as well as the loyal support of the school and city at. large, all contributed toward the success of this ambitious attempt. Long after the evening has become a faded memory, tin wisdom of Shakespeare’s lines will be playing an active part in the mental life of those students who put so much serious endeavor into the preparation of the evening’s entertainment. The criticism of the characters is taken verbatim from tin article which appeared in the “Grays Harbor Post,” on the play. “The interpretation of Shyloek was admirably given by Lance Hart. In no place did he over-act, and the audience at time was hushed to absolute silence by the skill of the young actor. Shyloek was not the cringing, miserly Jew, interpreted by so many readers of Shakespeare, but rather a man, lender of money, the defender of bis faith and race. Finally when defeat came, the dignity of the crushed Jew gained him friends from the audience. , A strong second to the work of Shyloek was that of Bassanio, represented by Frederick Hart. In the casket scene, especially, did the young man show a bit of superb acting. The expression of uncertainty in choosing the casket, the attitude, and finally the monologue of the young suitor for the band of Portia, was a bit of fine acting. Conrad Knudsen made an excellent Antonio. His good voice and bis conception of the role gave the merchant a character of dignity and breadth. Thomas O’Hara made a fine Lorenzo, the lover of Jessica and read his lines with a great deal of expression. Aubrey Archer as Gratiano did very good work and his comedy, in the Court Scene, was much appreciated by the audience. Ralph Faulkner made a much better than average clown, his role calling forth laughter and applause. Earl Springer as Obi Gobbo gave a superb bit of character acting. The part of Portia, played by Miss Vera Johnson, was very good, although the young lady was suffering from a severe cold. Miss Rhea Rupert, as Nerissa, the waiting maid, made an excellent foil to Portia. Miss Elizabeth Kay in the role of Jessica sustained the part admirably. John May, as Tubal, Mottie Madison, as Salerio, and Arthur Johnson, as Salanio, fitted admirably into their parts. Claude Smith being absent from the city, the part of the Duke was taken by Mr. Greenleaf. This added a touch of dignity and force to the trial scene. , The entire cast, considering that they were students engaged in handling that most difficult of all dramatists, Shakespeare, per formed in a manner highly creditable to themselves and their in-st ructors.” 79 SOCIAL NOTES The High School social season opened with an informal party in the High School Gymnasium on the evening of October 30th. The occasion was to celebrate our victory over Iloquiam on the gridiron. An informal reception was tendered the members of the Cen-tralia High School Football team on (lie evening of November 6th. The Olympia, Ccntralia and Iloquiam Football Elevens were royally entertained at a reception and dance in the High School Gymnasium, November 13th. THE ATHLETIC BALL The Fourth Annual Athletic Ball was given January 7th, 1910, at the Gymnasium, and proved without any possible exception, the most successful affair of its kind ever given by the students. The Gym. was decorated in the most attractive manner imaginable, with ropes of evergreen and salal forming a wonderful woodland ceiling. The myraids of glowing Japanese lanterns added to Ihe unusual attractiveness and it seemed as if the Gymnasium was transferred to some mystic pagoda realm of the Mikado. The honors and actual planning of the decorations fell to Emily Hart. Elizabeth Kay, Clara Schneider, Grace St. Earl, Marguerite Cook, and Lance McDermoth, Con Knudsen and Harold Reid. The reception committee was composed of Emily Hart, Elizabeth Kay, Wilda Smith. Marguerite Cook, Aubrey Cross and Lance McDermoth. The patronesses were, Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Mrs. W. W. Hart, Mrs. II. S. Kay, Mrs. Roy C. Sargent and Mrs. ('has. Elmore. An informal dance was given in the High School Gymnasium. February 15th. for the Olympia Basket Ball team.

Hart, of Aberdeen, after the final State Debate, which was held in Aberdeen, March 22nd. THE JUNIOR PROM. The Junior Prom, given in the High School Gymnasium. April 1, 1910, was a great social success. The decorations were unusually elaborate. The arches of salal and Japanese lanterns, together with the large salal bell hung in the center made the scene that of a woodland grotto. Tin Grand March was led by Mrs. W. B. Crammatte and Mr. Stewart. The patronesses for tin affair were: Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Mrs. A. F. Peterson. Mrs. Alfred Hart. Mrs. Harry Kay, and Mrs. Willis- Elsmore. Tin General Committee were: Elizabeth Kay. Mona Shannon, Gladys Keith, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner. THE SENIOR BALL The Senior Annual Ball, given May 12th. 1910, in the ‘‘Knights of Pythian Temple,” was tin most successful High School function of the year. The decorations consisting of ropes of salal and roses were more than usually beautiful. The overhanging ropes transformed the hall into bowers of roses, the lights shaded with pink added to the rosy glow, making the party a most charming “May Ball. The patronesses of the ball were Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Mrs. F. G. Jones, Mrs. G. E. Chamberlain, Mrs. F. C. Wilcox. Mrs. S. Mc-Clymont and Mrs. Ilarry Kay. The reception committee: Emily Hart, Nan Allard. Mable Mc- Clymont, Bert Glidden and Cris Beltz. 81 Great Jove on Mt. Olympus sate, His attendants gathered round in state, When on a sudden from earth below There came a noise like a Wild West Show. “What mean those horrible sounds,” quoth he, “Shades of Pluto, what can the he? Maybe the earth has stopped in its flight. Or Jeffries and Johnson are having their fight.” Then up spoke the shades of a late college boy, “Pear not, gentle gods, they mean nothing but joy, I know they are harmless, so let your minds rest. It’s only LOUD SOCK DAY at the old A. II. S.” Aubrey Archer, ’12 SHAKESPEARE “Comedy of Errors”.........................Freshmen “Much Ado About Nothing”.................Sophomores “All’s Well That Ends Well’.................Seniors “As You Like It”............................Juniors And silently, one by one In the infinite notebooks of teachers.

There was a young lady named Emily Who was very much stuck on her family, When the boys would her court She’d always retort ‘ 1 have brothers of my own to attend 1116.’.’ A fair haired senior named Cns (Although lie will not like tiiis) Without a suggestion Will pop the question To a comely and quiet young miss. There was a young lady named Nan Who tried to sing like a man She near took a lit When a bass note she hit So swore she’d not try it again. There was a young lady named Ilazel Who met a young fellow named Basil When he asked her to wed This is what Hazel said, “Your talk is altogether too nasal.’’ There is a young Senior named Maggie Whose pockets with books are just baggy She comes to school each day And all the rules does obey And says she hates music that’s raggy. There was a young lady named Mabel Who’d talk as long as she was able When left all alone She then used the phone And even sent letters by cable. There once was a dark laddie named Mick Who sometimes behaved like old Nick; All the girls he adored, And behaved like a lord. But withal was yet quite a brick. There was a curly haired maiden named Bess, Whose failing 1 hate to confess, But she whispers in class, And notes does she pass; With years she may learn to talk less. 83 There is quite a grown-up young senior And I’m quite sure that you’ve seen her, Her name’s Inez Hailey, She skips classes daily In spite of her cunning demeanor. There’s a bright cheery maiden named Melrose, As important she could very well pose, The piano she’d play The whole live long day Were it not for her numerous swell beaux. A shy fairy-like maiden named Scott, Conceited she surely is not. She’s bright though she’s quiet. You cannot deny it You’ve heard her recite such a lot. There is a good maiden named Amber, Her neighbors she never does slander. Although she is steady For fun she is ready But slowly along does meander. There is a tine athlete named Glidden, lie can quite forget what’s forbidden, After he’s been at college He then will acknowledge Fraternity goats he has ridden. There is a young lady called Schneider, All the boys they like to sit ’side her, She’s so nice and neat.. So pretty and sweet, This dainty young lady named Schneider. There is a strong lad named Aubrey, Who never wears ornaments tawdry. He has eyes that are honest. And ne’er breaks his promise This very strong lad named Aubrey. There’s another senior named Springer In fun he is always lead ringer. He’s round and lie’s plump. And he’s always a trump. Some day he’ll sure be a winner. 84 There is a young fellow named Con Who is so desperately long When he gets into bed There’s no place for his head So he sits up all night and sings songs. There is a young fellow named Bill Who always used to be still. But now he’s a girl, I lis brain’s in a whirl, II is shyness has had quite a spill. Teacher—“How would you punctuate the following: ‘Mary raised her skirt and displayed her pretty ankles as she crossed the muddy street.’ ” First Boy—“I’d put a comma after skirt and a period after street.” Second Boy—“I’d put a comma after ankles and a period after street. ” Third Boy—“I’d make a dash after Mary.” To Mr. Miller: There was a jolly Miller Who taught history to me; lie captures all my chewing gum lie takes it as his fee. lie tells about old Xerxes With all his hosts of yore; And then about Miltiades Who made the Persians sore. Then praises he Themistocles Knocks Artaphernes Hat; He shows to us old Pericles His fame, and this and that. He tells about the people And their habits long ago; He criticises the Ecclesia For the men it brought to woe. About Athenian houses He has talked to us of late; All about the Spartan warrior And the city he did hate. The fights within Ionia lie has to us to tell; Also about the Satraps, Who whipped that country well.
