THE first Issue of "The Spec

lication, was taken from the Benson
Tech press and distributed among
the students on Friday, Oct. 27,
J 922. The cover design was by
Klizabeth Horton and portrayed in
dark brown upon tan, a landscape
with a girl in the background, medi
tating upon the sunset. The maga
zine contained 95 pages of literary

azine. The November issue has gone
to press, and plans have already
been made for the Christmas issue,
which, next to the class issue of
January, is to be made the best
number of the term.
Two lively assemblies in one pe
riod, were held at Jefferson Friday,
October 27, to commemorate the life
of Frances E. Willard. The school
band of 60 pieces was much in evi
dence and played a lively march as
the students passed into the audi
torium. The assembly proper began
with a short address by Mr. Jen
kins, principal, in which he com
mended the band upon the manner
in which, that body played at the
opening night of the health exposi
tion at the municipal auditorium on
Thursday, October 26. He next an
nounced to the gathering that an
"open house" was to be 'held at Jef
ferson on December 8 and- 9 for the
purpose of offering Portland pepole
an opportunity of seeing the school
with its various departments in
actual operation. He then requested
the' students to hand in possible
names or phrases by which the open
house might be called, saying that
the name of the function would be
selected by a committee from the
list submitted by the student body.
As an inducement to the students,
he announced three prizes to be
given for the three best suggestions,
a set of book ends, a silver ring
made to the specifications of the
winner and a pair of candlesticks.
The first prize to be the first choice
from the three prizes, second prize
to be second choice, and third prize
to be the article remaining from
the other two choices. He then an
nounced Ellen Nelson as the first
student to speak on the life of
Frances Willard. Miss Nelson then
gave an interesting speech, in which
it was told how the north and south
were united after the civil war by
the sacrifices and labors of Frances
Willard. Dudley Clark was the sec
ond speaker, and he also gave an in
spiring talk in appreciation of Miss
Willard's services. After the speeches
the students closed the assembly
with the singing of a few songs.
m
The Jefferson Latin club had a
meeting Friday October 27, to com
plete plans for the club party,
which was given at the Irvington
home of Alice Enderud on last Fri
day evening. Kenneth Land was
appointed chairman of the commit
tee to have charge of the affair.
Three new members were admit
ted to the club, Susan Goodwin,
Ruth street and Marion Anderson.
A special feature of the meeting
was a humorous reading by Fran
ces Stewart, who received much
applause.
The Jefferson Camera club held
their weekly meeting last Monday
to discuss methods of obtaining in
formal snapshots to be published
in the January, '23 class issue of
"The Spectrum." All of the mem
bers agreed to do their best to pro
cure suitable pictures. New mem
bers were then taken into the club,
the list including James King, Vin
cent O'Connor and Forrest Albright.
The members then elected Ester
Goodwin and Albert Hegal to repre
sent the Camera club in the Jeffer
son Inter-Club council.
.
Fire drill was held at Jefferson
by the fire squad on Friday, Octo
ber 28, and the students marched out
in one minute and 20 seconds. As
the weather was clear the students
marched entirely out of the build
ing. Several members of the Jefferson
High band were loaned to the Ben
son Polytech band, at the request
of the latter, when the Benson band
played at the Health Exposition at
the municipal auditorium on Friday
evening, October 27. In this man
ner the members of the Jefferson
band received a double dose of
playing at the exposition, as the
Jefferson band had played the
previous evening.
Mr. Marvin, well-known local
community sing leader, was present
at the weekly assembly at Jeffer
son on last Monday. All of the
students remembered Mr. Marvin
from the assembly of the week be
fore, and enthusiastically greeted
him with applause. Mr. Marvin suc
cessfully changed the gathering
from a commonplace gathering to
a lively musical assembly and led
the students through a great many
songs, both old and new. Among
the assortment of numbers sung
were "Peggy O'Neill," "Smiles,"
"April Showers," "Mother Machree,"
"My Lady Sleeps," "Oregon," "Mis
sissippi Moon" and "The Long, Long
Trail." Mr. Marvin pleasantly sur
prised the students in the singing
of "Smiles" by having them merely
smile silently instead of singing the
word. Such a manner was quite
an innovation to the students, and
they enjoyed It to the utmost. At
the request of Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Mar
vin told the students of the famous
Yale bowl amphitheater, and how it
looked when filled with 88.000
cheering football fans. This item
was doubly interesting to the stu
dents as both their principal, Mr.
Jenkins, and Mr. Marvin are Yale
alumni.
Henry Mason, a member of the
June '22 class of Jefferson, is now
attending Yale college, and has suc
ceeded in entering the college band.
'
, A special meeting of the June '21
class was called on last Tuesday by
President Alfred Goss to enable the
different committees to 'give a re
port on the various projects the
class is undertaking. Paul Clark, of
the get-together party committee
was the first on the list, and he an
nounced that the dance had been
postponed to Friday evening, Nov
ember 17. After he had made the
report, the members of the class
voted that the January '23. class be
invited to the dance. Forrest Brown,
a delegate from the January '23
class, then presented the June class
with a large picture of the Par
thenon, to be used as a scholarship
trophy by the June class, and by all
the seventh term classes of the fu
ture. Each quarter, the room gain
ing the highest average is to have
possession of the picture, for one
quarter, and the picture is thus ex
pcted to raise the seventh term
scholarship to the highest possible
standard. The committee which had
been delegated to choose a motto
for the class then offered a list of
possible mottos but as none of the
candidates for class motto received
favor of the class, the choice of a
motto will be carried over till next
meeting. A motion was then made
and carried that the January '23
class be challenged by the June '23
class to a contest to determine which
class could put on the best musical
assembly on alternating Mondays,
at a time optional to' the January
class. A committee of Arthur
Samuelson, chairman, Jerry O'Brien
and Cleone Andrews was then ap
pointed to have charge of the June
class assembly. The pins committee
then reported that the class pins
would be ready the first part of
next week.
,
A large number of text books
have been donated by students of
Jefferson to furnish those students
of Washington with books whose
books were lost in the fire which
gutted the Washington high school
building.
Two short, pep assemblies were
held at Jefferson high on last
Wednesday to arouse the enthus
iasm of the students in the Jefferson-Commerce
football match which
was played on Multnomah field last
Thursday. Miss Edith Hjertaas led
the singing, and taught the stu
dents a new and inspiring school

song to the tune of "Varsity." After
the new song had been sung several
times, Mr. Jenkins announced Earl
Slocum the student speaker. Mr.
Slocum then gave a vigorous speech,
which went over great with the
audience, and when he finished, the
applause lasted for a lengthy per
iod. Corliss Sherman and Edward
Crowley, the Jefferson yell leaders
led the students through a variety
of school yells. They also told the
students some new points on athlet- 1
ic field etiquette. The school band I
was also on hand at this assembly,
and played the entrance and exit
marches lor the students.
The third term art classes at Jef
ferson, under the supervision of Miss
E. Patterson, have been specializing
in gesso work during the'past few
weeks and have made many inter
esting and useful articles by build
ing up designs on articles with this
plastic fluid and then applying at
tractive coloring. Among the articles
that have been made are book ends
candlesticks, pictures frames, boxes
of various sorts and nut bowls. A
number of the students have already
begun the manufacture of articles by
this method to be used for Christ
mas gifts. Another branch of work
that the students are taking up s
the printing of greeting cards with
linoleum cuts, printers' ink and rub
ber rollers. The- students cut out
the designs on a heavy piece of
linoleum, and then print the cards,
using the cut as a stamp. Some of
the designs thus made are unusually
attractive, and are attracting favor-1
able comment throughout the school.
This department is also starting
work on an exhibit for the open
house to be held in December and it
is planned to offer some of the
articles of art for sale as souvenirs
of the occasion.
s
Josephine Leach, a well-known
sir ger of Portland has agreed to
arpear at a Jefferson assembly in
the near future, and all of the stu
dents of the school are eagerly an
ticipating the coming musical treat.
The Jefferson Tri Elles recently
gave an interesting afternoon tea
at the home of their faculty ad
viser. Miss Louise Brace, and en
tertained their mothers and the
hew members of the club and their
friends. Mrs. H. A. Hegeman and
Mrs. Colburn had charge of, the
refreshments and were assisted by

club. An interesting
programme i
was also presented in which Dolores

used in the making of the second
term dresses. The dresses are the
second problem of the term and the
patterns for them are cut and
planned by the students. The dresses
were trimmed in dimities and organ
dies and were displayed Monday.
.
Hats made of different materials
were displayed at the same time.
The materials included new and
made-over hats and were of all dif
ferent shapes. A description of the
way in which the hats were made
and their total cost was given.
....
Boxes painted in many different
colors were displayed in the case
this week. 'They were painted by
the industr-ial art classes and the
designs in which they were made
were also by the students.
. '
Girls dressed in many ways were
seen in the school Tuesday. They
were the third term girls and it
was their dress-up day. Yells were
given at noon and after parading
about the school the girls went to
their classes.
...
Miss Lindsay, a teacher who has
been with the school for some time,
will be married in about two weeks.
She was the honored member of the
teachers' meeting last Monday. After
the business meeting light refresh
ments were served and the teachers
gave themselves up to a good time.
Much fun was derived from many
small bundles presented to Miss
Lindsay. They were objects on
which was tied a funny joke or
story. Soon after the presentation
of the solid silver carving set pre
sented by the teachers the party
adjourned.
... '
Members of the Minerva club have
received their pins, which have been
expected aeveral days. Their one
great woe la that Miss Lindsay, club
adviser, is leaving. They are now
debating as to whom they will
choose next adviser.

High School Eleven Carry Spirit
Into Football Game.
BY KENNETH RAUCH.
PEPPY assembly was held at
Benson last Wednesday , in
A
preparation for the Benson-Washington
ganie. The assembly was
opened by a fine selection from
the school band, led by William
Loomis. Lawrence Cappa, a prom
inent student, spoke on the school
motion picture, which will be shown
at the public auditorium on 'the
night of November 6. Mr. Cleve

Wednesday afternoon. He also an-
nounced a meeting, of the Benson
Rooters' club, which was held last
Thursday after school. Fred Brain
ard, of the faculty, then came for
ward and led the students in the
school song, after which Mr. Cleve
land introduced Leonard Barbur, a
well-known member of the student
body and a football letterman. He
spoke on the loyalty which the stu
dents should manifest toward the
team and the support that should
be given them, at all times. The
meeting came to a close with the
best yell practice which has ever
been held. The yell leader, Mar
shall Huntley, displayed such a spir
it of enthusiasm' and pep that the
students could not help catching
some of it and consequently giving
it out again in the yells. This spir
it had much to do with Benson
winning the game.
A new organization, which has
just recently been established at
Benson, is called the library board.
The board is composed of Benson
students who are particularly in-1
terested in the general welfare of
the school library. It is to this
organization that the library owes
its decorations, its orderliness, its
interesting bulletin board articles
and its publicity. The members of
the board meet regularly to con
sider and talk over plans for the I
betterment of the library. Between
the meetings the boys try to arouse
more interest for the library and
its contents, as there are many valu
able reference books on practically
every subject which should at some
time have their attention. The of
ficers for this term are as fol
lows: A. G. Leidigkeit, , president,
and Lewis Jones, secretary. As
practically all of the work done is
accomplished through committees,
the following boys were appointed
to serve in the various capacities:

An enjoyable fancy dress mas
querade party, at which the mem
bers of the Benson Tech Boosters
and their friends were the guests
of Kenneth Clarke, was held at the
Clarke home last Tuesday evening.
From start to finish. the party was
strictly a Halloween affair and not
a dull moment was spent by any
one, as there was something going
on all of the time. Although danc
ing was the chief feature, the pro
gramme for the evening was varied
by appropriate games and fortune
telling. ,
The guests did not unmask until
the refreshments were served dur
ing the latter part of the evening.
A great deal of fun and enjoyment
were displayed at the time of un
masking. A plentiful supply of de
licious refreshments was then
served to the guests. Thick cuts of
home-made pumpkin pie, coated
with a generous helping of whipped
I cream, sweet ciaer ana aougnnuis.
were set out to appease the inner
being of each guest. The house it
self was beautifully decorated in
the season's colors and knick
knacks, the lights being slightly
dimmed to add to the air of mys
tery that prevailed. About 40 club
members and -their friends attended.

, Play Manager.
Seniors Prepare to Pnt On Grab
Sale to Raise Funds.
BY ARDEN PANGBORN.
THE MOST important proceeding
of the January '23 class meet
ing was the election of managers
for the class play, "Nothing But the
Truth." The following were elected:
Aruthur Weinstein, business man
ager; Dorothy Morris, property
manager; Harold Mangum, stage
manager; Frieda Naimark, ticket
manager.
Another matter of interest to the
students of the January class is
the election of students to the spe
cial offices necessary for the class
issue of the Ledger. This, however,
was left for decision at the next
meeting.
The class is planning to hold a
grab bag sale soon, the proceeds of
which will go toward the publish
ing of the senior issue of the
Ledger. The date of the sale has
not yet been set.
. .
Friday was January class "Dress
up day." The girls of the class ap
peared as little girls again, with
gingham aprons, and with their
hair in curls some in braids and
"pigtails." The boys were dressed
in overalls. One would think that
Commerce had visitors from "Hick
ville," never suspecting that these
"plain people" were our "sophisti
cated" seniors.
One hundred and twenty-five
freshmen congregated in the lower
hall Friday for the annual freshman
frolic. The event was sponsored by
the Sorosis girls. Decorations were
orange and black. Witches and
black cats peered from the walls
and streamers waved artistically.
The decorating work was done
under the direction of Jennivee
Martin. Dorothy Morris announced
the programme. Mrs. Wade spoke
about the future life of the 'fresh
men. Her speech , was followed
with a talk by Louise Parrott, pres
ident of the Beta Sorosis. The pres
ident of the Alpha Sorosis, Mable
Edwards, gave a reading, after
which Mildred Jones spoke for a
few moments. Helen Welch, with
Karola Bockenfeld as accompanist,
sang several songs. Grace Sibley
played a violin solo. "Farmer in
the Dell" and other games were on
the programme and, as a fitting
end for a perfect day, cookies, candy
and punch were served.
...
The football fellows' hearts
warmed to the Sorosis girls last
Friday night, when they returned
from a cold, wet, muddy practice
and found a treat of loganberry
punch and caramel candy awaiting
them.
.
A new system of handling the
football tickets is now in effect
The HI Y boys are given two rooms
apiece, in which they have charge
of the sale. Their agents are the
room representatives, who report
to them the day after every garne.
The members of the HI Y then re
port to William Bish, the secretary
of the club, who keeps all the rec
ords. !.
A beautifully bound and auto
graphed copy of a "History of Ore
gon" was presented to the "per
manent library" of the High School
of Commerce, by Charles Henry
, thewthor. In ht. note ot
presentation, Mr. Carey expressed
hope that "the students will find
much to interest them in the studj
of the history of their state." The
book, contains over a thousand
pages of print and is doubtless one
of the- most valuable volumes that
the High School of Commerce li
brary has received for a long time.
. . .
Two pep assemblies were held last
week, one On Wednesday and one on
Thursday. Mildred Soule conducted
Wednesday's meeting. After her in
troduction, Arthur Weinstein, Har
old Ferguson and Clarence Wilson
led n yelling, and Mr. Haroun
aroused some pep in singing old
Commerce favorites. Dorothy Mor
ris spoke on football, and the
assembly was then turned over to
the Ledger staff, which is conduct
ing a campaign for 600 more sub
scriptions to the Ledger. Doris
Bowman, Isaac Davis and Harold
Mangum talked on the problems con
fronting the staff if they do not re
ceive the support of the students.
The Rooters' club meeting was
devoted to the appointment of com
mittees, the two most important of
which were, one to suggest methods
of raising funds, and the other to
speak to the yell leaders about more
co-operation at the games. The
former was composed of three mem
bers: Mildred Dungey, Lois Mc
Allister and Francis Atkins; - the
latter of three members, Miss Berger,
Miss Davis and Miss Rogoway.
...
As practical experience is neces
sary In every line of preparation, the
business English classes Have been
writing letters to collect bills owed
to the Ledger staff for advertising
space.
....
A timely and successful sale of
pumpkin pies and apple cider was
held, during the noon hour of Hal-
sl -p
. Vs
"-' mTVa , J
loween day by the ways and means
committee of the Ledger staff. This
is the first time they have made
themselves known since the Issuing
of the football books. The success
of the sale was so pronounced thai
it was" followed the next day by an
other. The first class play practice was
held Thursday evening, October 26,
in portable A, the art room. Re
hearsal was held Friday in the cen
tral library. The interest being
evinced by the cast in the produc
tion was shown by the fact that
every member had memorized the
first act by Monday afternoon. They
intend to start work on the second
act tomorrow.
...
When Swetland's candy shop ad
vertised in the Ledger they stipu
lated that our business English
classes should write the "copy."
From the dozens of advertisements
written, that of Miss Karola Bock
enfeld was chosen. The ad will ap
pear In the first issue of the Ledger.

Jennivee Martin was elected as
vice-president of the Beta Sorosis
club at their last 1 meeting, to take

On account of the Washington
catastrophe our classes at Lincoln
were confused for a day or two.
However, things have been straight
ened out now and we are holding
classes in the cafeteria. In order to
make the connection between schools
the students have to run back and
forth. Commerce has hope of de
veloping a good track team for next
season.

Eye Specialist and Medical Author
Report on Wonderful Remedy
To Strengthen Eyesight
'. Say It Strengthens Eyesight 50 in One Week's Time in Many Instance
New York. Dr. Smith, a well
known eye specialist, and Dr. Jud
kins, a widely read physician and
medical author, make the following
reports after a thorough test of a
popular remedy for the eyes:
Says Dr. Smith: "When my atten
tion was first called to it I was in
clined to be skeptical. But it is a
rule of mine to give every new
treatment a chance to prove its
value. Having specialized in eye
work for many years I feel qualified
to express an intelligent opinion on
remedies for the eyes. Since this
one has created such a sensation I
welcomed the opportunity to test it.
I began to use it in my practice a
little over a vear ago and I am
frank to say that some of the results
I have accomplished with Bon-Opto
not only astonish myself, but also
other physicians with whom I have
talked aDout it, ana j. aavise ever
thoughtful physician to give Bon
Opto the same careful trial I have
and there is no doubt in my mind
that Je will come to the conclusion
I have, that it. opens the door for
the cure of many eye troubles which
have heretofore been difficult to
cope with. I have had individuals
who had worn glasses for years tell
me they have dispensed with them
through the use of Bon-Opto. In
my own practice I have seen it
strengthen the eyesight more than
50 per cent in one week's time. I
have also used it with surprising re
sults in cases of work-strained eyes,
pink eye, inflamed lids,- catarrhal
conjunctivlties, smarting, painful,
aching. Itching eyes, eyes weakened
from colds, smoke, sun, dust and
wind, watery eyes, blurred vision,
and, in fact, many other conditions
too numerous to mention in this
report. A new and striking case
that has just been brought to my
attention Is that of a girl 12 years
old. Two prominent eye specialists,
after a thorough examination, de
cided, according to her father, that
in order to save the sight of her
right eye, the left must be removed.
While awaiting an opportunity for
the operation and still undecided as
to its wisdom, her father was told
it would do no harm to use Bon
Opto. In less than three days a
marked improvement waa noticed.

Dorothy Harris, "Post" editor,
asked that snapshots be handed in
for the "Post" as they add greatly
At the end of a week the inflam
mation had almost disappeared, and
at the end of six weeks the eye was
pronounced saved. Just think what
the saving of that eye means to this
little girl! Another case is that of
a lady 93 years old. She came to me
with dull vision and extreme in
flammation of the lids and the con
junctiva was almost raw. After two
weeks' use of Bon-Opto the lids
were absolutely normal and her
eyes are as bright as many a girl
of 16."
Dr. Judklns, well-known physi
ci an and medical author, formerly
chief of clinics in the Union General
Hospital, Boston, Mass., and for
merly house surgeon at the New
England Eye and Ear Infirmary of
Portland. Maine, says:
"I have found oculists too prone
to operate and opticians too willing
to prescribe glasses, while neglect
ing the simple formulas which form
the basis of Bon-Opto, which in my
opinion, is a remarkable remedy for
the cure and prevention of many
eye disorders. Its success in de
veloping and strengthening the eye,
sight will soon make eye-glasses
old-fashioned and. the use of Bon
Opto as common as that of the
tooth brush. I am thoroughly con
vinced from my experience with
Bon-Opto that it will strengthen
the eye-sight at least 50 per cent
in one week's time in many in
stances." Victims of eye strain and other
eye weaknesses and many who wear
glasses will be glad to know that
according to Drs. Smith and Judkins
there is real hope and help for them.
Many whose eyes were failing say
they have had their eyes restored
by this remarkable remedy and
many who once wore glasses say
they have laid them aside. One
man says after using it:
"I was almost blind. Could not
see to read at all. Now I can read
everything without my glasses and
my eyes do not hurt any more. At
night they would pain dreadfully.
Now they feel fine all the time. It
was like a miracle to me." A lady
who used it says: "The atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses,
but after using this prescription for
15 days everything seems clear. I

Hotel Built on Gold Mine.
Chester C. Davis In Adventure.
Eight years ago a new hotel was
constructed in Helena, Mont., on
Main street, which occupies the site
of Last- Chance gulch, where the
placer miners, worked in the '60a
and extracted something like $30,
000,000. The contractor who ex
cavated for the foundation hauled
the ground away, washed it in
sluice boxes and made a tidy sum
of money. It happened that the
old-time placer miners didn't work
the ground thoroughly. There are
large areas of so-called placer
ground in various parts of western
Montana which contain gold, and
which, according to report, might
be profitable if dredged on a large
scale.
can read even fine print without
glasses." Another who used it says:
"I was bothered with eyestrain,
caused by overworked, tired eyes
which induced fierce headaches. I
have worn glasses for several years,
both for distance and close work,
and without them I could not read
my own name on an envelope or
the typewriting on the machine
before me. I can do both now and
have discarded my long-distance
glasses altogether. I can count the
fluttering leaves on the trees across
the street now, which for several
years have looked like a dim green
blur to me. I cannot express my joy
at what it has done for me."
It is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them
in a reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their
eyes so as to be spared the trouble
and expense of ever getting glasses.
Eye troubles of many descriptions
may be wonderfully benefited In
this easy manner. Go to any drug
store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto
tablets. Dissolve one tablet in a
fourth of a glass of water and use
from two to four times a day. You
should notice your eyes clear up
perceptibly right from the start and
inflammation and redness will
quickly disappear. If your eyes
bother you even a little, it is your
duty to take steps to save them
now before it is too late. Many
hopelessly blind might have saved
their sight if they had cared for
their eyes in time.
NOTE: Another prominent physician to
whom the above article was submitted,
said: "'yes, the Bon-Opto prescription is
truly a wonderul eye remedy. Its con
stituent ingredients are well known to
eminent eye specialists and widely pre
scribed by them. I have used it vary
successfully in my own practice on pa
tients whose eyes were strained through
overwork or misfit glasses. It Is one of
the very few preparations I feel should
be kept on hand for regular use In almost
every family." Bon-Opto, referred to
above,- is not a patent medicine or a
secret remedy. It is an ethical prepara
tion, the formula being printed on the
package. The manufacturers guarantee
it to strengthen eyesight 60 per cent In
one week's time in many Instances or re
fund the money. It Is dispensed under
guaranty by all good druggists. Adv.
