BT ANNA I. McPHERSON.
AS IT was Constitution day, the
the regular Wednesday morning
assembly at Washington was not held
the first period in the morning but
was postponed and a patriotic assembly
vu held at 10 o'clock. Mr. Boyer led
thi school in singing patriotic airs.
Mr. Herdman then introduced John K.
Kollock. who represented the Sons of
the American Revolution. Mr. Kollock
spoke of the early history o? the
I'nited States, told of the many trou
bles of the new nation and of the form
ing of the constitution. "Through 132
years it has stood; so this day we
should pledge ourselves t.iew to- sup
port our constitution." he said in clos
ing. Mr. Kollock then presented, on
behalf of the Oregon chapter of the
Sons of the American Revolution, a
framed copy of America's creed. Mr.
Herdman accepted the gift on behalf
of the school. The exercises were
closed with the singing of "America."
At 9 o'clock Thursday morning an
assembly was called for the observance
of fire prevention day. The band
played while the students took their
places. Mr. Herdman spoke of the
convention of fire chiefs which was
being held and then introduced Frank
lin H. Wentworth, secretary of the Na
tional Fire Prevention association. He
told the fable of how fire was stolen
for mankind. Jay Stevens, formerly
fire chief of Portland, now chairman of
the national association, epoke next.
According to Mr. Stevens, more prop
erty was burned up in Portland in
1914 than in any other city of its size
in the world. The siren was sounded,
interrupting the speaker, as the stu
oents participated in fire drill. Mr.
Stevens commended the school on the
rapidity of their exit. Mr. Herdman
thanked the speakers for their valu
able talks as he dismissed the assembly
Thursday afternoon Washington par
ticipated tn the fire prevention parade.
Our division consisted of 150 boys of
the fire squad, the Washington high
band, and hook and ladder truck No. 1,
the largest piece of apparatus in the
city, and two hose carts. The appa
ratus was decorated with the school
colors, maroon and gold, Washington
pennants, the service flag and placards.
Mr. Linnehan had supervision of Wash
ington's section. A committee consist
ing of Al Crawford, Dick Robbins,
Korris Sewell, Bob McKennett, Regina
Keil and Anna McPherson took charge
of the decorating.
The first meeting of the term of the
Hi-Y club was Thursday, September
11. The meeting was presided over by
the new president, Dick Robbins. Two
alumni members, Ralph Osvold and
Edwin Lyman, were present. The busi
ness for the coming term was discussed
and committees were appointed. The
membership committee consists of
Hugh Hayden, chairman, Rodney Keat
ing and Ed Durham. The meeting was
closed with a talk by Walter A. Goss,
advisor, who had just returned from
the tennis tournaments at Forest Hill.
He brought news of a former Wash
Ingtonian, Phil Neer, who represented
the northwest in the tournaments.
There are six vacan ies in the club,
one of which is to be filled by a third
term boy. v
The first meeting of the term of the
January '20 class was held Thursday,
September 11. It was decided that the
class give a sandwich eale to raise
money to entertain the freshmen. A
c 'mmittee to manage the sale was ap
pointed and includes the following:
Frances Manary, chairman, Lyle Kno
der and Dorothy Rodie. The class play
was also discussed and "The Thirteenth
Chair" was finally decided upon. Mr.
Curtis, Jr., will coach the play. Try
outs will begin soon.
The first programme of the Phreno
diken Debating society was a miscel
laneous one. In the debate on the
question. "Resolved, that loyalty to a
cause is better than loyalty to a friend,"
the affirmative was upheld by Mar
garita Dutcher ad Alice Abbott, the
negative by Anne Roberts and Edith
Anderson. The affirmative won. The
second number was a clever dialogue,
"Difficulties in Courtship," which was
given by Agnes Cover as the girl and
Regina Keil as the man. Amusing va
cation experiences were told by Jay
Johnson. The critic's report closed the
programme.
The nominating committee for the
Student Body, Chamber of Commerce
and "Lens" election is as follows: Hugh
Kayden, Paul Irvin, Margaret Alexan

The Hotel St. Francis Conk Book, by Victor
Hirtzler. The Hotel Monthly Press. Chi
cago. III.
Really, to look over this book of 432
pages, with a big general index, and
noting all the delectable dishes de
scribed, is like eating a meal cooked
by a favorite cook except that such
'shadowy meals after all must make the
reader more hungry than before.
Chef Hirtzler of the Hotel St. Francis,
San Francisco, must be a poet and
artist in his line. He writes of it not
only with experience, but with near
reverence. A Portland cook to whom
this book was shown pronounced it the
acme guide to the cooking art.
The author writes: "I have been for
tunate in studying under the great
masters of the art in Europe and
America; and since my graduation as
chef I have made several journeys of
observation to New York and to Eng
land, France and Switzerland to learn
the new In cooking and catering."
It is worth while adding that our
friend, the chef, somewhat mournfully
adds: "The recipes in my book calling
for wines and liqueurs for flavoring
may be followed by those whose legiti
mate supplies are not used up; and
where these cannot be had, there are
non-alcoholic substitutes available with
the flavor near-perfect. The juice of
lemons will erve in many cases to give
agreeable fravor."
Verily, we can live without books
but we cannot live without cooks. The
remark is obvious, in this instance.
The "Dere Msble" Calendar. 1920. Illus
trated. Frederick A Stokes company.
New York City.
Another of the uproariously funny
"Dere Mable" series. This time the
publication is a calendar for 1920, with
a sheet for each week of the year,
blessed with a letter addressed to
Mable. and written in that quaint
Americanize which has already made
such a big hit.
Tbeir Mutual Child, by Pelbam Grenville
Woodhouee. Boni & LrVeright, New York
City.
Quite a live, laughable story.
In cheating "Their Mutual Child." Mr.
Woodhouse deserves credit for marked
originality an cleverness in poking
fun at eugenics that are carron to an

names to this committee.
A sandwich sale was given by the
January 20 class on Friday, being the
first sale of the term.
Neakah-ni dispensed with its regular
programme Wednesday and held only
a business meeting.
The Pedagogy club held Its election
of officers in room 5 Wednesday after
noon. The following were elected of
ficers for this term: Anna Mackley,
president; Gladys Levisen. vice-president;
Marjorie Knapp, secretary and
editor; Edith Hosklns, treasurer; Marie
Herbers, corresponding secretary, and
Vera Carey, sergeant-at-arms. As
soon as the new members are taken into
the club real work will begin.
A special assembly for seventh and
eighth term girls was called Tuesday
morning at 8:30 o'clock. Miss Darling
told of a new course In hygiene, which
is to be given the fourth and -sixth
periods twice a week. This course is
to be in the form of a series of lectures.
Many of the girls signed for it.

ANY former students have re
turned to resume their studies. A
large number of students have come
from other high schools in the city and
out of town. The freshmen number
about 300, which makes the enrollment
about 800.
All clubs have resumed their former
activities with new vigor. The Beta
Pi Sigma was the foremost in their
activities last year. It was the larg
est and best conducted in every re
spect. Joe Kurka presides over the
club which has made wonderful pro
gress in the last year. A vigorous cam
paign is being planned for the coming
year. Officers will be elected in the
near future.
All the fourth term English classes
have formed independent literary
clubs. Debating is to be the leading
factor in these young organizations.'
These clubs are under the supervision
of Mr. Barzee, who has charge of all
the fourth English classes.
The student body, which has control
of the student activities, are consid
ering many difficult problems. The
most important of these is whether or
not to form the band for the coming
year. Last year the band was a won
derful success. It played at many of
the baseball games and would have
a greater effect at the football games.
Dell Seforth will, no doubt, lead the
band this year. Many of last year's
players have returned and the school
looks forward to a good season for
this organization. Everybody appre
ciated the music last year. The stu
dent body will decide what type of pin
or letter last season's players will re
ceive for their term's work.
Owing to the large number of stu
dents in the gas engine shop it was
necessary to have another instructor
to assist Mr. Stair. Mr. Bradshaw,
formerly with the Willys-Overland
company, is our w instraotor. He has
followed this lln of work foe a num
ber of years both in Portland and in
Los Angeles. Mr. Bradshaw was of
the tractor department in the Willam
ette valley division for the Willys
Overland company.
'
Football prospects are looking
brighter every day. Mr. Bryan, the
new coach, is giving the boys plenty of
hard training.' Some new equipment is
expected in the near future which will
outfit new men who could not be ac
commodated at the first call. Benson
will have a much heavier team than in
years before. With everything to our
advantage there is no reason why we
should not win.
The first assembly of the term was
held Wednesday morning. Mr. Cleve
land spoke on many topics which con
cerned the school in general. We were
very fortunate in having three other
speakers. General Beebe and two Ben
sort graduates. General Beebe, the
principal speaker of the day, gave the
boys an interesting address.
Mr. Peck graduated several terras
ago in the electrical department. Louis
Hosch, another graduate of the same
department, also gave a talk.
The cafeteria opened . in the new
building the first of the term. They
have a very large place with every
convenience, which makes It satisfac
tory to everyone. The cafeteria is a
popular place and patronized by all.

couple.
The two heroes are Kirk Wlnfield,

heroines are: Miss Ruth Bannister, af

of a Wall street magnate, and Mrs.

of eugenics and who is looked on as
a social bore because she brings up
eugenics in and out of season.

BY DAVID SINGER.
THE first assembly of the term was
held Friday, September 12, in the
auditorium. Mr. Elton spoke on vari
ous subjects and concluded by thank
ing the students for their 'co-operation
in running the school in so orderly a
manner. The main purpose of this
assembly was to introduce to the
students the subject of the Ledger.
Mr. Masters, who this term is succeed
ing Virgil Oliver as the official school
otator, aroused a great deal of interest
in the Ledger. Miss Anna" Westbrook
also spoke on this subject and em
phasized the point that every student
should take an active interest In the
Ledger. She also named the offices
vacant, as follows: Editor-in-chief, as
scclate editor, advertising manager,
circulation manager, literary editor,
school activities editor and Jokes and
exchange editor. The Ledger formerly
had about 48 pages, but as now
planned will have not less than 60, em
bellished with several cartoons by '.he
art department.
The art department sadly misses two
of its last year's membeis, Ernest Rich
ardson and Frank Macintosh, who were
graduated last term. In the recent
Rose Festival art poster contest Mr.
Richardson took first prize, an honor
eeldom awarded to a high school stu
dent. A new class has been originated at
Commerce called the special English 4.
This class is composed of students wno
last year took English 4 and English 6
but were too weak in certain parts of
their work to go on to a higher class.
Miss Harrington, a member of the
faculty, is instructor.
The Boys' Glee club is soon to start
its term's work. When the call for re
cruits is sent out a big turnout is ex
pected. The famous Commerce quar
tet will also be back. It is composed of
Robert Masters, Alfred Johnston, Mar
tin Paulback and William Shlppy.
Football is In great swing at Com
merce now with about 30 boys out prac
ticing every night. Commerce has ten
letter men back this year and they are
confident of giving the other teams a
good run for their money. The letter
men are: Alfred Johns. on, Robert Mas

by a gaping crowd, many of whom'
swallowed their chewing gum in their
excitement.
Mrs. Porter bent over Pennicut and
passed experienced hands over his
portly form. This remarkable woman
was as competent at first-aid. as at
anything else.
"It was your fault, Mrs. Porter said
to the victim, severely, "I accept no
liability whatever. I did not run into
you. You ran into me. I have a good
mind to have you arrested for at
tempted suicide." .
Pennicut meekly said. In reply to
Mrs. Porter's furious Inquiries, that
he lived at Mr. Wlnfieid's studios.
nearly opposite. Mrs. Porter called on
Mr. Wlnfield and found him, thus: "He
had rather a boyish face, pleasant eyes
set far apart and a friendly mouth.
He was rather an out-sise in young
men -and as he stood there he seemed
to fill the doorway. It was this sense
of bigness that he conveyed, his clear
ness, his magnificent fitness, that for
the moment overcame Mrs. Porter.
Physical fitness was her gospel. She
stared at htm. in silent appreciation."
That is how the great and only Mrs.
Porter made Wlnfieid's acquaintance
and she asked him quite a string of
questions relating to his physical con
dition. She informed him that she was
the author of these books: "Dawn of
Bettter Things," "Principles of Selec
tion," and "What of Tomorrow?"
books that discussed eugenics and the
future of the race, generally. Pennicut
was not severely hurt.
That night. Mrs. Porter wrote in her
private diary a glowing appreciation of
Mr. Wlnfieid's physical fitness, and
added: "I have decided that he shall
marry my dear Ruth. They will make
a magnificent pair."
Now, "Dear Ruth." is Miss Ruth Ban
nister, her niece. "Ruth Bannister was
an extraordinary beautiful girl, a
daughter of the gods, divinely tall and
most divinely fair. From her mother
she had inherited the dark eyes and
ivory complexion which went so well
with her masses of dark hair, and from
her father, a fchin of peculiar determi
nation, and perfect teeth. Her body was
strong and supple. She radiated health.
Mrs. Porter, with Miss Bannister by
her side, called on Wlnfield to Inquire
about Pennicut, the man who had in
jured himself against the Porter auto
or at least that was what Mrs. Porter
openly said. While Mrs. Porter talked
to Pennicut. Wlnlfeld showed his pic
tures to Ruth and the two young
folks fell in love with each other.

Equipment Are Noted.
BY LOUISE VAN FLEET.
IN observance of constitution day, Mr.
Ridgway, secretary of the State Bar
association, addressed the school at a
special assembly held last Wednesday.
Mr. Ridgway's theme was "The Amer
ican Creed," a framed copy of which he
presented to the school as a gift from
the Society of the Sons of the Amer
ican Revolution.
At a meeting held on Thursday the
third-term class elected these officers
for the coming term: Nellie Brim
berg, president: Bessie Baldra, vice
president; Lela Childers, secretary;
Lucile Atkinson, treasurer; Mary Feld
man, sergeant-at-arms; Mrs. Page,
class advisor.
The seniors held a meeting for the
election of officers last Wednesday.
The officers selected are as follows:
Louise Van Fleet, president; Florence
Marks, vice-president; Mollie Hassen
miller, secretary; Juanita Holden,
treasurer; Freda Phal. sergeant-at-arms;
Miss Iverson. class advisor.
The second-term girls have finished
a week of hard work. The domestic
science class has already canned 140
pints of vegetables, while the domestic
art classes were hard at work on their
gingham dresses, which are of many
28 years old and he sparred for exercise
da..y, with Wlnfield and Ruth's
father and her brother. Bailey. Steve
knew the elder Mr. Bannister as a man
of wealth and iron hardness of manner
and heart. So when Wlnfield informed
Steve, quietly, that he. Winfield. loved
Ruth and longed 'to marry her, Steve
said: "Marry her first and tell her
father all about it afterward."
Winfield acted on the advice, wooed
Ruth, and in secret, married her. When
her father heard of it, he was furious
and not only forbade her his house, but
disowned her. Even Mrs. Porter's In
dignant protestations tailed to melt the
magnate's resolution.
Winfield and Ruth lived on the for
mers $5000 per year and to help his
income, Wlnfield painted pictures but
it appeared that art dealers did not
consider his pictures amounted to much.
A baby Is about to be born to Mr.
and Mrs. Wlnfield and Mr. Wlnfield
becomes nervous and 111 at ease so
much so that he can hardly eat any
thing. Steve calls and seeing that Win

box.
Mrs. Porter opened the door and was
surprised to see Steve with his nose
bleeding and standing looking at Win
field who lay on his back as If he
were dead. Wlnfield had been knocked
out.
The Wlnfield baby was a boy and he
was called William Bannister Winfield.
The happy father loses his money bj
depreciation In stocks, while his wife,
by her rich father's death, inherits
a fortune.
Mrs. Porter instals herself at the
Winfield house and bosses everybody,
especially the baby, on tyrannical, eu
genic lines. Mrs. Winfield sides with
Mrs. Porter, against Winfield who op
poses Mrs. Porter's fad when It is car
ried to excess.
The winner in this eugenlo conflict

An exhibit of the shirtwaists made
by the third-term sewing class was
held during the week. The waists
were made of madras, crepe and cot
ton crepe de chine, costing from 90
cents to 12 each. They will be both
economical and attractive' for school
wear.
The Girls' Polytechnic opened this
week with much larger enrollment
than usual of both girls and women,
The classes for adults are filling up
rapidly and many of them are already
closed.
The students were delighted to find
that during the summer the building
had been greatly Improved. The wood
work had been varnished and floors
painted and many changes and add!
tlons made in equipment. New con
ditions are most in evidence in the
domestic science department, where
the equipment has been brought up
to aate in every way. A new kitchen
for the cafeteria has been provided
A big steam table now enables the
girls to have their noon-day meal
piping hot and an electric dishwasher
makes this dishwashing an easy task.
A set of four kitchens, arranged and
furnished like home kitchens, give the
girls an opportunity to prepare meals
under the same conditions as they
would at home, and a group of laundry
tubs makes it possible to do good
work in the course as in the home
laundry.
A luncheon was served at noon on
Friday, September 12, to the high
school principals of the city and to our
city superintendent. Mr. Grout, and his
assistants. Mr. Rice and Mr. Whitney.
The meal was prepared and served by
the third-term class.

A close examination of this big book
awes one by the volume of its mass of
Information brought up to our own
time and presented so skillfully in 364
pages.
There Is no such book as this, surely,
available elsewhere. It is not only a big
library boiled down, but is probably
the most useful book of its kind In the
world in 1919.
There are 251 maps absolutely
brought up to date, with the new boun
daries established by the peace treaties
and prepared immediately after the
peace was signed. It is more than in
teresting to look at representations of
the new boundaries of Germany, Rus
sia, Austria-Hungary, Turkey. etc.
There is even an up-to-date map of this
city, with the streets clearly marked.
Including especially Laurelhurst and
Alameda.
Mr. Reynolds was formerly reference
librarian, library of congress, and he
states with pardonable pride that he
and his associates have a sort of fam
ily thrill at having been able to publish
the first bound volume containing maps
of the new boundaries established by
the peace conference, just 48 hours
after the all-important treaty was
signed. Such enterprise is laudable. The
typographical appearanace of the book
is excellent.
The information printed In descrip
tive work also Is worthy of praise, and
one marvels at the compactness of the
entire message. On page 274, however,
one reads under the date of August 21,
1814: "Forming the left wing of the
allied front, under the generalissimo.
General Foch." At the date mentioned
General Foch only was in command of
one French wing; he was generalissimo

together too large last term.
