That one Email bead Could carry all she knew." might rightly be applied to Miss Ger trude. In school she is very studious aud thorough in her work, pleasant and agreeable in manners so as to make ber a general favorite. Her am bition is to become a school teacher. She first started to school at the age of eiiiht years, with Miss Matthews as her first teacher. Miss Gertrude is a good flnanoier and because of this speoial talent has been acting in the capacity ot secretary BDd treasurer for this class and has handled enorm ous sums of money duiing the past year to the pertect satisfaction of all. She is a member of the Methodist church aud oUims to be a democrat in politics although she seldom votes. Last but not least comes John El wood Luckey. This noted personage was born at Hood River May 31, 1889, and having been alive each year, is at the present time 17 years, 11 months, li days and eight hours old. In per sonal appearance be has blown fuzzy bail, blue eyes and pink cheeks, long nose and a red necktie on Wednesday. He first entered the Hood River school in 1900. Before that time be attended school at Frankton. His ob ject in life seems to be to makeotherB liappy and in school at least has been successful in bis aim. In politioa be is a republican but votes prohibition ist. He llrmly believes that the gov ernment should own its railways, but for the laok of opposition usually ar- onaa nn the other side. And now the hifctorv of tbe c1h98 of 1907 has bean eiveu you and although I will not vouch for the truth of all the statements tbey were given me by my classmates, guaranteed to be pure and unaduleratea lacrs.

We were botb very glad when we found out who we were talking with and she agreed to taae the next airship and pay me a visit. is surprising tbe rate of speed these machines can go for in less than wo hours 1 beard the bell of tbe ship ringing over the mountain tops. As soon as it stopped Pearl came into tbe bouse. We were so overcome with joy that we were unable to re frain from trying Prof. Bell's new in vention, tbe auti-mlcfibe kisser. In tbe evening as we were sitting around tbe iadium beater talking ot old times 1 asked Pearl to tell me ber adventures since leaving the Hood River high school in 1907, to which she agreed, on the condition that I should also tell mine and that togeth er we would find the rest of the class. What did you do after leaving the high sohool?" I asked. Pear answer ed: "Tbe next fall 1 went to college nd took a four year course iu music. After a rest of about a year 1 staited n teaching. This was my occupation for about five years. My studio was then in Chicago, and O I yes, 1 almost foreo1: to tell you that at Chicago I saw dythe Coppie. one was one oi the bead nurses in a large hospital there. We roomed together until Kdvtbe married an undertaker. I bey are living somewhere in New Jersey. 1 made a tour ot the united states with a few of my pupils and was so successful that I desired to go to bu ope. We had an elegant time there but financially it was a failure aud 1 lost all tbe money that I bad made on mv American trio.

Karlv tbe next morning we sent talkagraph oall for Ferdinand Struck, and within toe minute came tne an swer from Die private secretary in tormina as that Ferdinand bad his office in Portland and thnt be was en gineering the censtrut tion of agigan tin subway connecting what was tbe old oitv of Portland wun Vancouver, cne of the greatest engineering leita . . t i i t (I ' I J ever tried in tne west, ne Heaeu iui a fen minutes conversation witb Mr, Struok but were informed that it was his nnaoial order that he not De a is turbed unless it was a case of lift or death so we interviewed his secretary and found the following tacts: 'ine tail after bis graduating from the high school Ferdinand enteied tbe univer sity of Oregon from which institution V . . .

He was a leader in all student enterprises, was a mem ber of the university interstate debat ug team and also won tbe interstate matnrical can test. Ferdinand was offered a luorative position. He mBde good, was advanced Btep by step and at last took complete oontrol and management of the company ne oaa begun work wun. ms success wu due to bis painstaking care and nia honest, ettioient and tnorougn wora, tha iima traits tbat were cnaraoteris tic of bim when a student ortnenooa River high sohool, while tbe private secretary was giving us tbe detail? of Ferdinand's meteoric career we sept heating a regular succession of sounds somewhat similar to that produced when you suck tbe air out of a bottle, or when a mule pulls iti foot oat of tbe mud. On inquiring tbe secretary Intorrred us that tbe disturbance was miiiaH hv s sum chewing old maid stenographer. Recognizing something lamiliar in tbe sound we asked if we might speak to her. We were over inr,i tn Hud that it was oar old t.ionn "Rosa." and that she was bap ns ana nnntented. She said she bad v4 accumulated great deal of property and as a sacred secret told as that she did not expect to remain a stenogra pher much longer. It's atrau e how many stenographers marry their em ployes. Next to be oalled was Gertrude Bowe, and after some delay a uoUe that wa remembered answered the call Gertrada Informed us tbat she bad been married so iong tbat she bud almost forgotten bet maiden name. She told as that after ber graduutiou she began teaching school and taught several yoars with success. She tprt two years In college specializing ami at tbe time of ber umrriHue as at the bead of the departmen bixtory in a young ladies seminary 1 1 Hortlun t. Her husbsud was a prouiit.ei t t anker at St.leoi, Oregou. Sho uUo u fur n; r il us tbat she bad two sous, the , nudg es, one she called Kdward and the oldest Colonel. She seemed as happy and oontented as iu her gitlhood ai;i) numbered her friends by tbe score. Gertrude infoi Pied us that Miui!e Merrell was a teacher of etajutiou liv- j log at Los Augtlt?, Caliiornia, un married and licb One of the mo-t prominent persons in that citv At ter ber giadnation from LI o 1 River bigb school in 1907 she fell btir to a large Bum ot money left by a long lost uncle. She then ktarted to travel and spent three je.ns alroid, yet put much time in study and fitted herself out to be a master in be lino. She has been very successful vii.i t r stu dents, many ot them gaining uuiiiiual importance. 1 onoe bad tbe pleasure of listening to Miss Meriell at a bene fit conoert given for the destitute children and bave never as yet hear i ber equal. But a very serious acci dent happened to ber. Once while going from Loa Angeles to San Fran cigo tha traina met In a bead-on col lision and many people were killed. Maude escaped with a badly crushed ankle bo tbat it was necessary to am putate ber foot. She recovered from tbe operation but it ruined ber ap pearance on the stage. From this time Bhe gave lesson i and likes ber work veiy much. She has changed very tit tle, although time has left its marks, she still has tbe bright smiling face of her school days. 1 next pat in a talkagraph oall for Millard Merrell but tor some unknown reason could not locate bim. 1 was very disappointed Leoau-te this was tbe first time my talkagraph bad ever failed. After trying tor half au hour I gave it up as a bad job and changed the call for Miss Grace Pri ther, but she oo'ild not be found either. By this time I was feeling very blue but two because we had found all the class but two and It would not do to stop now. Consequently Miss Bradley aud myself got into my airship the "Swal low", taking a week's provisions and water with us and started out to find Millard and Grace. We traveled east ward almost to Boston and put in talkagraph calls all along tbe way but got no answer to any of them. We then started south thiough the Atlan tic and Bouthern states and back by tbe way of the Mexico, but no Mil lard or Grace oould we find. We then oonoluded that tbey must be dead and staited for borne, liy this time we bad run out of water aud landed to get a fresh supply at a small spring by tbe road way in tbe NMllauiette vulley. 1 was surprised to see two small boys coming down the road, the lad behind crying loudly. On inquir ing what tl.e trouble wis he said, "Me bi udder Millard stole mo bread aud sugar." 1 caught the young vag abond nd iiiaile bim return the stol en r. j et t y lbe name Millard scuunVd familiar to me so 1 asked him bis ftitlttr'a name to which he re plied. "Millard Meriell." "Well, well," said I, "that euiely accounts for your steuling your brother's bread, for that s an old trick of your fathers." We took tbe boys in aud told them to direct us to tbeir fath er's place. Pearl said to the laigest boy, "What is your mother's name? You look very much like a girl 1 used to know " The boy replied, "Papa calls her Grace." "What ! Not Grace Prather," we both exolaimed togeth er. "Ye," they answered. "Well," said Pearl, "who would have thought it." "And bave you any uioie brotb eis or sisters?" we asked." "Yes, 1 have five brothers and four sisters. E'y this lime we had reached the rantb and descended to meet our old friends. They were veiy glad to see us but to tell tbe truth we would nev er bave known Millard, lie bad long whiskers and hayseeds in his hair and his trousers legs extended over bis boot top". Giaoe was busy trying to make an old ben stay with a brood ot ducks and she had a milk pail at ber side. On inquiring as to why he had not answered my talkagraph oall be paid that be didn't own one. "Well, bat you've surely heard of tbe talkagraph, haven't you?" "Yes," be replied, "but I don't believe in these new fangled inventions." 1 asked bim bow be made bis living and be said that be was raising apples that were just as good as Hood River's. This explained why be bad not an swered my call. All Willamette valley apple growers are -to far behind tbe times that I hey can never keep up. Un Fiiday evening, May 17, oc curred tbe iaht event of tbe bigb fchonl commencement exercises. P. U Campbell, president of tbe univer sity of Oregon, expected to be pres ent to deliver the class edditss, but beiog a member of tbe state text book o :mmit.siou be found that if he did justice to the 800 aud more text bo ks he Is to examine and pass judgment upon it would be impossil l for bim to bo present. So he seut Pi of. F. S Duun to take bis place. 1'rof. Dunn addressed bis remarks chiefly to the class, but the entire a idieuce seemed to fully appreciate them. He tiausported his hearers hack almoht 2000 years and introduced theui to a historical character of tbat time. During the introduction of the subject all were mentally guep.sing who the character might be uuiil the speaker said tbat the terse epigram "1 came, 1 suw, I oouquered" might be applied to every phase of the en tire life of this man, when a small boy sitting in tbe front row shyly whispered, "I know who said that. It was Julius Caesar. " Prof. Dunn's delivery is simple and natural. His word pictures are so vivid aud life-like one can all but see the scenes and persons be describes. He described tbe private and public character of his subjeot bo forcitully and with such apparent accuiacy that one could not but feel a greater inter est iu Caesar, the unselfish citizen, the iirepronchable publio servant, tbe friend of the people, the peerless statesman, and the dauntless and un oonqueied general. One could not but realize that there were many qual tites in the character ot Julius Caesar tbat the members of tbe graduating olass might well emulate. Tbe audience keenly enjoyed the musical u umbers of tbe evening which were furnished by Miss Hersbner, Misa Hanua and M. Davidson. A. S. Uloweia, chairman of tbe school board, presented the diplomas to the class. The closing event of tbe evening was unique aud met the applause of the audience as well as that of tbe junior class. Ferdinand Struck, act ing tor tbe senior olass, stepped to the back ot tbe stage and tore down tbe large '07 banner ot tbe class, ex posing a '08 banner In junior class colors. Thus the seniors stepped down and out and the juniors sen iors now will ocoupy the center of the stage iu tbe days to come. The corps of teachers have made themselves popular by their faithful adherence to duty. Piol. K. . Coad, who has taken au aotive interest iu the nthletio features of tbe school, bus niude himself a faithful friend to the boys and is deserving ot speoial credit Iu piloting tbe scholars to vic tory in their recent contests with other schools. I et us all begin to boost and build of a greater sohool in 1908. lire Alarm Causes Excitement. The citizens were somewhat excited last Friday evening as the fire bell sounded ber warning alarm to tbe inhabitants of the village. All were at a loss to know where in what quarter of the city tbe file waa loca ted. After some promiscuous run ning about it was discovered that the Hood River wagon bridge was on fire agaiu. The lire company responded piomptly to the call, but when tbey arrived near tho scene tbey were in formed that the flumes had been nipped iu the bud, and that it would not be necessary for them to proceed farther. The tire was near the place where the previous one had occurred. It was i mined iately discovered and quenched.
