The Dalles Chronicle May 7, 2002 Front page Body Discovered at Taylor Lake A man found dead during a grass fire evacuation at Taylor Lake apparently died of natural causes, reported a representative of the Wasco County Sheriff's office. The body of Andrew S. Wlodarczyk, 75, of Hood River (Oregon) was found in his van Saturday, said Sergeant Rick Eiesland. "It appears he was here camping and fishing at Taylor Lake." Wlodarczyk's van was observed arriving Thursday afternoon, and Eiesland said he died sometime between then and Saturday. A grass fire that reportedly started along the railroad led to precautionary evacuation of the area. "One of the deputies went to the van," Eiesland said. "He observed some items in the van and tried to make contact with the person in back. That's when he ended up gaining entry to the vehicle and finding the person."

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 67-68 ATHLETICS BASEBALL In order that the whole base ball season might be outlined so the school could see just what has been done it was thought a brief resume would be proper thing in regard to an athletic report. 1. Sophomore 5, Freshman 1 2. Junior 24, Freshmen 5 3. Junior 22, Sophomore 8 4. Sophomore 7, Freshmen 2 5. Junior 17, Freshmen 4 6. Junior 11, Sophomore 1 As can be clearly seen the Junior team is the champion team of the High school. However, in a game in which the Juniors challenged the combined teams of the school to a game, they were taken down a notch by the united teams to the tune of 9 to 6 in favor of the "All Stars". The interscholastic schedule gives the following games: Hood River 5, The Dalles 8 White Salmon 6, The Dalles 20 Moro 17, The Dalles 12 White Salmon 6, The Dalles 20 Moro 2, The Dalles 8 Alumni 6, The Dalles 4 The Moro game on the home grounds has been adjudged the best game of the season because of the good teamwork and the extra amount of pep that was shown at the turnout. Moro was over-confident, when she came here, of winning the game and The Dalles team and students undertook to teach her a lesson, which they did with great effectiveness. The athletes to receive their letters this season are: Ziegenhagen, Kohler, Harris, Cochran, the Wright Brothers, Deardorff, Stone, Coryea, Cooper and Frizzell. As coach we fell that Mr. Gronewald's comment on the work of the team is especially valuable and he remarked, when asked what he thought of the teamwork of the season, "that the boys have done well because all the teams played against, and the games played, were good stiff ones." It is not necessary to say what we think of our teams, because they are always assured of our hearty good wishes and sincere support. A foot ball meeting was held a short time ago to elect a captain and to hear athletic rules of the league association. Clarence Ziegenhagen was elected captain for the season of foot ball.

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 65 EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT Our Exchange department will, necessarily be quite small this month because of a lack of material. The papers we did receive, with one or two exception, were already members of our department. Several schools have sent word that their last issues will reach us too late for this month's Steelhead. We are glad to welcome the "Rail Splitter" again, from Salina, Kansas. We find some very interesting items, among them the poem, "The Hard Game", which is very good. We firmly believe that there is as much truth as poetry about it and that it would make a valuable addition to our magazine. We cannot call "The Lens" from Washington High school, in Portland, a new member, or a visitor, because it has been on our list in previous years. We are glad to receive this splendid paper again. We find some very clever jokes and some stories which are exceptionally good. Judging from "School Notes" Washington High is a "live" one, and in that line might prove a worthy example for many other schools. Your Athletic Department is very interesting also, we are having a few troubles in the base ball line ourselves just at present. A new member of our Exchange is the Reed College Quest, from Reed College. Evidently, this is one of the liveliest colleges we have represented. Again this month we have the Willamette Collegian with us. This issue's Society Column was especially interesting. One article which was especially interesting to us all, because of its relation to the late World War was "Lest We Forget". There are several other very good poems in these issues and also some clever jokes. The recent number of O.A.C. Barometer and the Oregon Emerald have been widely read and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 63-64 SENIOR DEPARTMENT SALUTATORY Valedictory We are graduating. We think of this as a turning point in our lives. It is really nothing so decided as that - we will not emerge changed by the experience; but it is a good time to decide our future lives. Are we to be successes or failures? It depends largely upon ourselves and the thing which will impell us - ambition. Ambition is essential to progress, thus the successful man is the man who is ambitious. Some has said that "we never go higher than we aim". The ambition of the individual not only affects that person, but it affects his country as well. In India the social system known as caste, by drawing distinct and hereditary classes and strictly limiting men to their own caste, eliminates ambition to a large extent. This one fact alone has had a stupendous effect on India and has made her what she is today - unprogressive when compare to other nations. She has been left behind in the race. But we, in our country, are more fortunate than the Hindoo, for our government and religion put no restrictions in the path of our progress. Quite to the contrary, our government stands ever ready to help. It educates us, fitting us properly to be responsible citizens. And our two best weapons in life are education and ambition. So let us be ambitious for the sake of our country and that we may be good citizens. We wish to live up to our motto, "By our efforts we hope to rise". However, if we start out aimlessly, we can hope to do little but travel round and round in a circle. To rise straight and quickly we must have something definite to which to rise. This we call ambition - it is our goal. In addition to our motto let us take for our watchword ambition". There are two kinds of ambition - that which is selfish and that which is not. While we are establishing our ambition we should not fail to make it a worthy aim, an ideal by which to live. The best kind of an ambition is that which in the accomplishing will render "Service" - service to our fellowmen, a step in the world's progress. The best example of service we have had in the past few years is the soldier who goes forth to battle and lays down his life for humanity. We cannot all render this supreme service, but there are various other services we can give. Most of the popular professions of today render service in varying degrees. The doctor, the lawyer, the teacher, the farmer, and innumerable others can be counted in this class. It is not difficult to render service. The time has come when we must separate. Each one of us will take a different path to his goal. And so for the education which makes possible the truest Service, we wish to thank our parents, our teachers, and the citizens of The Dalles. For us they have made sacrifices and we, in parting, can only assure them of our appreciation and try, in the years to come, to fulfill all their hopes for us.

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 61-63 SENIOR DEPARTMENT SALUTATORY CLASS WILL Unlucky Friday, June 13, 1919. We, the members of the Senior Class of '19 being of a sound mind and body, but fast declining, do ordain and establish this to be our last will and testament. The class, as one, leaves to the High school, the following: All the weeds that we pass on the way to school, in order to replace those killed by us when cutting corners on the lawn. To the Seniors of '20, we leave the privilege of raising a "rough house" at all future "Mixers", the privilege of the "Senior Flunk Day" we didn't have, and all unfinished work in U.S. History and Civics. To the Sophomores, who some day hope to be Seniors, we will all our class quarrels over pins and wrongly engraved invitations, so that one class may have a more peaceable Senior year than all preceding classes. We leave to the Freshmen, our bluffing ability, our good looks for the boys and our beauty for the girls, our dignity, and lastly, our speed and accuracy, so that Mr. Gonewald will not have to grow old and die in D.H.S. because of being swamped with undecipherable geometry papers. Individually, the members of the class bequeath as follows: Alice Skelly wills her ability to become engaged and all her former engagement rings to Goldie Thompson. Exier Morgan bequeaths to Lottie Phillips, his Pig Raising Ability and his pet pig. Marion Boettcher wills her curly hair to any member of the Student Body who thinks he or she can take proper care of it, and manage it better than she has. Frank Becker leaves his Ford to the best driver in the present Junior Class, provided that member helps the Seniors of '20 escape on the Flunk Day. Bertha Forrest leaves her glasses to Norman Rossell so that he may be saved a "head on collision" with Miss Kirkpatrick, that might result all to seriously for both. Ernest Kohler leaves to the next Senior Treasurer, his ability, his honesty, and his empty money bag. Helen Jane Flinn wills to the next Senior secretary, her ability as secretary, all her minutes, and also her distinctive middle name. Thoman Smith leaves to Clarence Ellis, his Cupid's ability, so that Clarence will some day succeed in wounding permanently Margaret Bonney's heart. Helen Cooper leaves to Alice Carroll, her rouge, so that Alice may always have rosy cheeks and red lips. Ivan Roberts leaves his heart to Eugene Wright with the provisal that he immediately turn his over to Elizabeth Burgett. Charlotte Thrall leaves to any one who will keep up the correspondence, all her letters from France. Urban Pashek wills to Kneut Wernmark, all his silk sox, provided that Kneut always wears his trousers short enought to show them. Florence Howell leaves her Salutatory to the unlucky Salutatorian of next year. Pearl Baker wills her twin to any one who will take proper care of her, and relieve her of the nuisance. Ruth McCorkle wills her clear way of speaking to George Oatts, hoping to relieve George of his lisp. Wilford Saunders leaves to Loyal Kirk his stobborn disposition. Beatrice Powell leaves her "rod of iron" for securing order in the class room, to Miss Crosby, hoping that this will prove more effectual in frightening Kneut Wernmark than her many glances to his corner of the room. Dorothea Wolfken leaves her stately heighth to Spud Watson. To the historian of next year, Bessie Potts leaves our class history, as a perfect model. Fay Hill leaves his credit card to any member of the next Senior Class, who needs tow extra credits, so that member will be saved the bother of hunting them next June. Martha Grizzell leaves to Irene Prentiss, her eyebrow pencil, simply because she could find no one who needed it worse. To the next Business Manager of the Steelhead, Donald Wilkinson leaves his ability of getting advertisers, and also his largest and best paying ad. Myrle Baker wills all her teaching experiences and all Pedagogy Reports to Kenneth Cooper provided that Kenneth take up the study of controlling unruly youngsters. Helen May wills to Benjamin Hallyburton her largest hat, so that by this means Ben will succeed in avoiding more freckles. Alex Shipe wills to any one will will take it, his interest in Odessa Malloy. Lela Pashek leaves Kenneth Thompson to any one with whom he thinks he can be as happy as he was with her. Hazel Eslinger wills her delicate beauty and expressive eyes to Margaret Gates, with the one condition that Margaret relieve of Cary Coryea. Eva Fosnot wills her picture to the Pedagogy Class of next year, as a constant reminder of what others have done before them. To this, our last will and testament, we, the members of the Senior Class of '19 do affix our names and seal, This Thirteenth day of June, 1919. Dorothea Wolfken, '19. Submitted by Earline Wasser

R.M., '19 '19 PASSES The clarion gong has blithely rung The Seniors' last tattoo; No more in 2-0-1 will meet That small but valient crew. Arrayed on life's great battlefield, Resolved to do or die, With none to guard they stand revealed -- At last they're staid Alumni. To various fames they all aspire And wide their talents spread, And from the whole wide world desire Just this--to earn their bread. To earn their bread, and then, perchance, If kind to them is fate, To do a something, large or small, To link their names with great. But come what comes, or doesn't come To never be a shirk -- And look for better things to come And hope, and pray, and work -- This is their only creed in life, And now they're out at last Into the turmoil and the strife -- Their first of youth is past. With joy they grasp their books up tight, To work they troop away; No more will they study late at night No more they've time to play. The clarion gong has loudly rung The Seniors' last tattoo.

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 57-59 SENIOR DEPARTMENT SALUTATORY Prophecy My dear Jane: Your long expected letter received and of course as you know I was more than glad to hear from you. You ask me to tell you what I know of the old 1919 class and by strange coincidence I just came in touch with them a few weeks ago. Fate has brought their names to me and so, a few more words of each. Some years ago an announcement came to me from Pumpkin Hollow, Oregon of the wedding of Alice Skelly to Jake Eslinger. The bride was charmingly dressed in white charmeuse, etc. You know the lingo they put in those announcements. I have since put Alice out of my mind as doomed to happy domesticity for life. About the same time someone wrote me telling me of the amazing success of one Exie Morgan, and asking me if I had ever heard of him. It seemed he had raised a marvelous pig. One that had three more curls in its tail than any other pig had ever thought of having. As I was thinking over these two old class mates, a strange thing happened, a knock sounded at my door - (not that a knock is at all strange) - and upon opening it I saw a stout, rather good looking man. The face seemed oddly familiar and yet I couldn't place it, there seemed to be something added and then I discovered it was a downy fuzz that inhabited his upper lip. At Last! Why Curly Kohler! After the first shock was over, and Curly had persuaded me to purchase one of his patent Kiddie Koops, guaranteed to hold anything but the Kid, I sat down and heard from him the sad tales of some of my friends. I learned that Thorman Smith had drowned himself because he fell in love with three Miss Smiths at one time and couldn't decide which one he wanted the most. Dorothea Wolfken had changed dreadfully since her school days and had recently accepted a position as fat lady in "Darnem and Faily's Circus". The last thing that Curly had heard of Jim Hill was that he had established a training school for young and good looking Nurses. And our old friend Urban, what of him? Why he has started a Beauty Shop on Broadway for the raising of maidenly blushes. He has been very much of a success along this line, I hear. The thing that scandalized me was the marriage of Helen Cooper to that erratic Bolshivist, Juno Frates, and her adoption of his theory, "Be or Bust". The other day in the paper I cam across a notice that surprised me. I see that Judge Donald Wilkinson is sueing for a divorce from Mrs. Pearl Baker Wilkinson because he made a mistake and married the wrong twin. I also read the Beatrice Powell received a prize for an essay entitled "Military Training in the Home". Eva Fosnot and Bertha Forrest have been granted pensions and a life-long meal ticket at the "Home for Elderly and Decrepit School Ma'ams". Did you hear of the terrible bank robbery we had the other day? Several Million Dollars were stolen. The thug and his accomplice were caught, however, just as they were leaving the city. They were clever. The woman especially had the police baffled for quite some time. They are also criminals of long standing, their careers dating back to their school days. Their real names are Florence Howell and Wilfred Saunders. Are you not shocked? It is a shame we have such characters in our class. Martha's illustrious career gave me a thrill. She has taken up a farm and is supplying the surrounding country with onions. Onions that are noted for their strength and lasting qualities. Ruth McCorkle has more than attained her measure of success. She was in charge of the "Pedagogue Convention" held at Rufus (Oregon) last month, for teachers over forty, who have lost their youthful looks. Frank Becker, do you remember him? He has recently completed a new Ford Model that will ride on the ocean. He has been to Germany where he visited the Kaiserine Helen, our dear Helen Mayer of old 1919 days. Lela Pashek is a veterinary now. Yes she and her husband have gone into partnership. Thompson & Thompson. Famous for their cure of love-sick animals. You know that Bessie Potts went on the stage soon after her graduation. Well the last I heard of her she had been elected to the Harem of the Sultan because of her wonderful execution of the Fan Dangle before his Majesty. She says she is running in opposition to about forty other wives but that she always did like the competition so she is getting along fine. Myrle Baker has established a Home for Lonesome Twins, whose prospective husbands got mixed and married the wrong girl. Helen Jane has entered a Convent because of her intense dislike of masculines and all their institutions. Ivan seems to have found his vocation in life because he is now a professor in a Boston Academy, teaching young and timid men, "How to Make Love in Five Lessons". Alex Shipe has a splendid position with A.M. Williams where he is instructing the infants of the community in cultivating sleek and shining pompadours by use of Herpicide. Now, Jane, I have told you all I know about the class of 1919 and so you see that after all we have been successful and have all of us attained our measure of success in one way or another. Let me hear from you soon. As Always, Billie Submitted by Earline Wasser
