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.

Twenty Tears Laler.
Tl tha vear 1927. the beautiful val

tbe fragrant atmospheie of green

At tha hrpakfaht table I was alarmed
when my servant called very loudly to

nsr!nff the call 1 found that 1 was

glad when we found out who we were
talking with and she agreed to taae
the next airship and pay me a visit.

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

After a rest of about a year 1 staited

for about five years. My studio was

Karlv tbe next morning we sent

and within toe minute came tne an

somewhat similar to that produced
when you suck tbe air out of a bottle,
or when a mule pulls iti foot oat of

Intorrred us that tbe disturbance was

stenographer. Recognizing something
lamiliar in tbe sound we asked if we
might speak to her. We were over

t.ionn "Rosa." and that she was bap

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

She told as that after ber graduutiou

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

lision and many people were killed.
Maude escaped with a badly crushed
ankle bo tbat it was necessary to am

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.
