After arriving in Seattle, l was conducted into the office of the superintendent of the great Central High School. l was astonished to recognize in the person of this dignitary another member of the l9l3 class, Ethel Brown. She greeted me with her usual cheerfulness, and offered to conduct me thru her institution. I may say that it came nearer being ideal than any other visited on my journey. I inspected several other schools in and about Seattle, and then left for Portland, Oregon. While in the latter city, I heard of an enormous dam which was being constructed on the upper Columbia---the greatest engineering feat since the construction of the l anama Canal. l resolved to see the project. But what was my surprise, upon arriving, to find the works at a sudden standstill! ln attempting to close the final gap, the plans of the engineer were found to be defective. Meanwhile, a specialist had been summoned to examine the situation. Upon inquiry, l found him to be none other than Alvin Lyse of the class of I9 l 3. Some weeks later l learned of the successful completion of the massive dam. A little later, while travelling thru the mountains to the east, our areodrome was suddenly wrecked in a terrific wind storm. .I arose from the debris unhurt. After recovering from the shock, a number of us started out for the nearest station. While upon ou'way thru the wlde ness, we suddenly came upon an odd stone house surrounded by park-like groves of trees and shrubs. As we approached, a woman met us. lt was Nona Taylor of the class of l9l 3. She had come to this secluded spot to forget some great oisappointment. While here, she had become a scientific student of nature. l later had the privilege of reading one of her masterpieces in the World's Work. After inspecting the schools of the United States and Canada, l passed thru Cen- tral and South America. While stopping in Beunos Ayres, l heard of a wonderful Llama ranch at the foot of the Andes. I was determined to visit the same, especially since l heard that it was owned and conducted by a North American. The treat- ment accorded me upon my arrival was most hospitable. As l had by this time become accustomed to tne un isual, l was more pleased than surprised to find this remarkable Yankee to be none other than Raymond Scheibner of the class of I9 l 3. Mr. Scneibner had already made his fortune---he was a millionaire. After completing my tour of South America, l left for Europe. While in the Netherlands, l decided to visit the World Court at the Hague, which was in ses- sion tnen. One of the most noted jurists here was a woman---an American---one of whom l had heard a great deal. As she rose to speak, l seemed to know her. 'lio my great delight she proved to be none other than Odessa Tusler of the class of l9l 3. Her appeal was so convincing that the case was speedily settled. l left thoroly persuaded that war was a thing of the past. ln due time l passed thru Asia and Africa, and finally returned to Chicago, fully equipped to write my book. . RAYMOND SCHEIBNER-'l3.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When the class of l9l4 entered the Wubur High School three years ago, it was with the desire to excel in class work, athletics and school spirit. This ambi- tion has never been lost sight of. Sixteen girls and sixteen boys constituted the largest Freshman class in the history of the school. The class immediately organized, choosing the unusual but charming colors, of deep violet and lavender. The largest and most costly pennant of the High School was the next addition. Altho many class parties were given thruout the year, the most memorable event was the basket-ball victory over the Sophomores. During the Sophomore year, the class had fewer parties and did not take as active a part in inter-class affairs. Several members entered the declamatory contest, and we were very proud, indeed, when one of our members carried off the first honors. During this second year we also leamed that study meant Work. We were likewise successful in debating. Moreover, all of our girls were in the Freshman- Sophomore play given during the middle of the year. All did exceptionally well. By the third year our ranks had been thinned so that the class numbered only eighteen. Parties were fewer than ever. Our worlc was heavier and required more time and study than during the two previous years. Again, a member of this class won the declamatory laurels. On Saturday evening, April the twenty-sixth, the juniors entertained the Seniors and High School faculty at the school house. Lunch was served in the Domestic Science room during theevening. All the rooms used were decorated with the two class colors. So ends the history of the class of l9l4. Great things are being planned for the Senior year, and if the class has failed, so far, in doing its share in the social life of the High School, it will more than make up for this during the coming year.
