-cut of i high school service at the end
of the month after four years of class
room associations are ' looking back
from the high and, mighty position
which it has taken them four years to
. attain, to the days when they entered
bm ' freshmen, and they reflected over
the years lhat followed ' as they pro
gressed up the class scale.
Mighty important feel the seniors,
and oh, so much wiser than they did
four years ago as freshmen ! The Janu
ary, '21. class is ready to go right out
and make over the world. Four ' years
of - high school instruction has ' fitted
them for fame and fortune. .They have
achieved class distinction for 'four; years
,nd now -they 'are ready to make the
old world sit up and take notice. In
their' self contemplation, they are look
ing back with rather pitying smiles to
the days when they were freshmen and
knew bo little, and are comparing 'them
selves . at that time with freshmen of
today. , . i' .
Perhaps typical of the graduation
tlsues 'over the city Is Isabella Petrie'a
account of the Lincoln high' school
January. '21,' class. !
I "Four years ago a group of young
children fearfully crept into the learned
halls of Lincoln high school. These
freehmAi when asked what class they
belonged to, by the high and mighty
seniors, timidly answered. 'January, '21.'
iThese children from all nooks and
corners of the city, soon learned the
dally routine of work at Lincoln and
so lost their fear.
"After three years had passed, these
young people (for. they were young
people now) banded together and or
ganised the now famous class of Janu
ary. '2L They elected the following
. officers : Fred Wood (who has tried
hard to keep order, but. dare I say it,
has not had much success), president;
Florence Fowler, vice president; Gwen
dolyn Hedges, secretary ; Rex Hopkins,
treasurer ; William Beck, sergeant . at
arms. These officers are responsible for
much of the success of the January class.
"This class was very active. It had
a get together party at the home of
" Florence .Fowler soon after its organ
isation. Then it entertained (tbe class
above it with a hard times . party.
Recently the June, '21, class, entertained
the January class with a party. Miss
Laura , Northrup and Miss Gertrude
James' of the faculty, knowing the
January class to -be .a wonderful class,
entertained it at their home. The Janu
ary class turned out in full force and
had a glerious time. . The June and
January class' played a football game.
Of course, the January class was vic
torious. ' As Doralis Allphin of the
January class said .
"'Nona's got the pep. None's got the
Jass. No one's got the grit to fight
that January class has.'
"Then the class play ! The play -was
Mrs. Temple's Telegram, and the ail
tar cast consisted of Florence Fowler,
Madeline Coffey, Martha Schull, Kather
Ine. Kressman, Malcolm Stowell, Harold
Karq, j Theodore Weiss. Howard Col
burn and Henry Holman. This play
was highly successful - and netted ' a
: great deal of money. ,
- TThet class Is busily preparing to put
out a bigger and better Cardinal. ; All
'members are writing stories or poems
and sending in Jokes. The class ex
pects to put out the best .Cardinal
Lincoln has ever seen.
"The whole student body of Lincoln
. high school will miss the lively and
famous class of January, '21, when they
graduate, but they feel sure that the
January class will be successful wher
ever it goes. The memory of the Janu
ary. '2L- class will live long in the
heart of Lincoln." . . "

Tri L Society
Of Commerce Is
Very Active One
By ararloa B Sibley' .
IN the High School of Commerce the
club that excels all others In actiYi
tiea is the Tri L society, whose name
means ; love, light and loyalty. No
Commerce girl has failed; to find the
Tri L club her friend, for the members"
of the club take the students into their
midst during their first year and show
them through frolics and other enter
tainments that they have many friends
in the school.
A short time ago the Tri L girls had
good opportunity to put into direct prac
tice their desire to help. A young girl
wished to attend the annual High
School of Commerce play, but was seem
ingly deterred because of the lack of a
ticket and finances to get one, together
with the absence of a suitable chaperon.
The Tri L girls, realizing that every
human body demands recreation, with
the aid of their dean, Mrs. N. M. Wade,
Obtained a ticket and a suitable escort.
In the High School of Commerce prob
ably more than in any other high school
in Portland, the Tri L organization has
assumed a great responsibility in lead
ing school activities. One of the latest
ventures is the equipment of a suitable
rest room for girls. By means of sales
of "hot dog" sandwiches, j pie. cake,
candy and pennants the girls have
raised a sum large enough to supply
the school rest room equipment, such
as curtains, carpets, flowers, bedding
and chairs. :
i Recently the Tri L girls gave a foot
ball party in honor of the commercial
football ' squad in Turn Verein hall.
With the opening of the -new term a
few weeks hence, they will make a spe
cial effort to ! see that ' the incoming
freshmen are made to feel at home In
their new surroundings.
I Officers of the . Commerce Tri L club
are : Helen Rogers, pcesident ; Anne
Runes, vice-president ; Annette Feld
sln, secretary ; Ethel Arnold, treas
urer ; Dorothy Woolley, : sergeant-at-arms.

School Clubs in
Portland Show
Splendid Results
.i
GLUB work in Portland Bchools is
being reorganised for the new" year,
with the principal interest being cen
tered in garden, poultry and rabits.
.This is the third year that clubs have
been formed in the schools under the
direction of T. ,D. Kirkpatrick, who is
employed jointly by the school district
and the Oregon Agricultural college.
Since the inception of club work in the
schools the quality of the output of the
children's labors ; has shown a marked
improvement as signified-by the numer
ous prizes they have taken at various
fairs and shows. ' . . - i
; "Last Tear there were 1300 boys and
girls enrolled in club work," said Kirk
patrick. "I shall- not try to increase
the number, but rather, to hold the in
terest of those who are actually- at work
and who are interested.! I
i "I w-ant to form more judging teams
and demonstration teams this year. I
plan to carry out demonstrations in 12
or more poultry clubs." ,
i Club work is largely j confined to
schools in those portions of ; the city
where the children have space in which,
to work.' Downtown schools make no
attempt' to conduct club' work. ; Last
year there were ,92 clubs formed in 29
schools. " ? : '
Few sewing . and cooking . clubs are
formed within -the Portland schools be
cause of, the sewing and cooking, in
struction offered in most of them cover
ing pratcically the same field. Some
schools, however, make a - special de
mand for such r clubs. Ockley ' Green
school had a boys' cooking club last
year, but out of - the 17 enrolled only
seven completed the work. The baking
of bread waa what stumped the others.
In some Instances, fathers objected, say
ing that flour was too expensive for
their sons to waste. But of the seven
boys who were allowed the kitchen and
flour with which to make their bread,
one of them f won second prize at the
Gresham fair. ' ; - . ;
Sunnyslde . school will have a sewing
team all because of the efforts of little
Donna King. Donna moved. In from the
country where she had started in a
sewing 'club but was never able to finish
it. She appealed to Kirkpatrick to or
ganize a sewing club at Sunnyside so
that she might finish her work. The
club leader told S her if ehe would get
from five to eight other girls Interested
and secure a local club leader, he would
organise the.,, club. . Donna now baa
everything ready with both the girls
and the leader enlisted. - i t
"i The children's display at the recent
poultry show has Interested pure bred
fanciers to the extent that many of
them have ; agreed to furnlah free set
tings of eggs to the youngsters who are
interested In raising pure bred poultry.
Boy Had Name
But He. Could
Not Recall It
"JVJISS FANNIE G. PORTER, principal
JLtX of Failing school, works in cooper
ation with the attendance department in
seeing that the children of the district
are in school. One day, ' Miss Vaughn
of the attendance department entered,
leading by the hand, a ragged little boy.
S years old, who bore all the appear
ances of , complete freedom from both
school and parental restraint.
"Miss Porter reported the case to roc"
explained the attendance officer. The
mother, who is employed somewhere,
was in this morning. I found the boy
playing on the railroad track. There Is
no one to look after him during the day."
The lad sat stiffly upon one of the
chairs in the principal's office. .
"What is your name?" - I
"I don't know." f
"Haven't you a brother here in
school?"
"Yes."
"What Is his name?
"I don't know."
It was evident the lad was suspicious
of these jwomen who were probably try
ing to tike feway his freedom on the
railroad rack. He denied ever having
been to school, but admitted he had been
in the Frazier home. The principal sent
for a boy who lived in the same house.
"Do ybu know this little boy?"' she
asked. J
The boy nodded.
"Do y6u know his brother here in
school?" f
The boy knew the brother's name was
Max, but he couldn't think of his last
name. But he pointed out the portable
class room in which he was enrolled. !
"If you know him, go and bring him
to me," requested the principal.
The brother came,' a lanky youth of
12 years,! with a questioning look in his
eyes until he saw his brother. !
"Is Uxis your brother?" asked the prin
cipal, j
The boy nodded. He gave his little
brother a withering look as though ask
ing what mischief he had been up to now.
"Why Is your brother not in school?"
asked the principal.
"He won't come," declared the 12-year-old.
"Why ! don't you make him comer
asked the principal, with a tone of re
proof in her voice.
The boy felt the censure turning from
his little brother to himself. His eyes
filled with tears. .
VYou must bring him to scRool with
you every morning." instructed the prin
cipal. "Of course he won't come if no
one makes him. But I shall hold you
responsible after this for your little
brother, in seeing that he comes to
