1920 THIIJAVELIN 1920 Hobo Day 'l'was the last day of March, in 1920, When the Hoboes assembled for fun a plenty. They came arrayed in garments shattered, And the most of them were very much battered. Yet they had the fun they were looking for, And I'm sure next year they'1l want some more. There were I. W. W.'s and Bolsheviks too, And trarnps that had nothing else to do. And so they came with all the rest To share the fun at Y. H. S. 'Twas just about noon when they started out To beg for their lunch, without a doubt, But they raided the town without success Until they were halted -by Dear Old Jeff. He invited them in, in the most courteous way, For to be impolite to Hoboes sometimes doesn't pay. They were asked by Smithie just what they should choose: Since they knew 'twas useless to ask for booze, They were all given cokes to quench their thirst And 'twas a very great 'wonder that some didn't lburst. They yelled and yelled for Smithie and Jeff, And then the stores they finally left. When they came back to school, some pictures they took For the Y. 'H. S. Annual, that wonderful book. Well this iinishes my story of the wonderful day, When the Hoboes assembled to get their pay. Opal Beeler. It can't be done is the catch phrase of incompetence.

1920 THE .IAVIQ LIN 1920 Assembly Programs This year each Thursday, for a little recreation from our school work, we have had assembly programs given by the four classes in succession. Although those given last year were very good, we believe these of 1920 far superior. We have endeavored to have a variety of subjects and a change in our program every week and we hope our aim has been accomplished. We had the honor of having with us one day, the famous Male Trio of Chicago-John McCormack tJohn Dobryj, Alphonso Paderwiski fRaymond Kroutill and Professor 'High Step of the Nazarene Church lBil1 Halbertl. One of the many pleasant surprises of the year was the wedding of Miss Eunice Bass and Paul Allen. Reverend Paul Sanger, the great Quaker minister, performed the ceremony. One of the most pleasing programs of the term was the one given by the faculty of the school. All of the teachers doing their utmost to please the Seniors. Among the other events were the plays and dialogues in which all classes took part. They were enjoyed and made evident the possible development of much talent in that direction. Colleen Newkirk. HOBO DAY The teachers of Yukon High School were very much surprised and frightened on Wednesday morning, March 31, about nine o'clock when hoboes 'began to gather in the halls. They had a hard time teaching these illiterate people and at noon the hoboes were very tired of studying, so they huried -away to hustle their dinners and declared that they had rather be hoboes than to be the President of the United States. Stephen had a hard time get- ting enough to eat, but after begging at several doors, felt re- freshed. At one o'clock the hoboes, having collected several musical instruments from the alleys-consisting of tin cans and worn out toy 'horns-decided to parade through main street and show their ability at playing. The people on main street showed their de- li-ght by frowning. Being very thirsty, they stopped in at the Model Drug Store, where C. N. Jeffers and F. Smith proved their appreciation of their stopping at Yukon by inviting them in to some refreshing drinks, -for which they were very thankful. They then went through the Yukon Mills, which was a great treat to all, and after they had visited most of the places of in- terest, went back to the High School and decided on the prize winners. Ruby Brooking and Jay Stout won first prizes, Opal Siler and Glen 'Carson second prizes. The hoboes then went out and posed for the photographers, which they had never done before. They then started up the rail- road track, bidding Yukon farewell until next year. Colleen Newkirk. Fit yourself for the best society, then keep out of it.

19l20 THE JAVE LIN 1920 In the Senior Room With the advent of nineteen twenty The Senior room was filled with a. plentyg The doors were op'n'd wide, and time 'gan to boom When we came into the Senior room. Many are times the room shone lbright, We stayed up late, and studied all nightg Many are times when the wind did swoon, We were height'ning the 'rep' of the Senior room. Oft times when extreme silence did reign Nothing but business our minds could claimg Yet we hoped still to see many a moon While we trudged on in the Senior room. One year more which will come very soon, And we shall bid farewell to the Senior roomg And when we go without plans all made We want to know that our work has paid. Arthur Tappe. In Days Long Since Gone By Of thee I now do think How by the river's 'brink, We strolled then, you and I In days long since gone by. X 'Twas then, when grief was slain, 'Twas then, when joy did reign, We walked in carefree bowers, In days long since gone by. Clarice France. The recipe for perpetual ignoranec is to be satisfied with your own opinions and content with your knowledge. ..55...
