Glen - Very romantic boy, - in love with Louise. Hal - A likable boy. Helen - Hal's sister. George - Another boy, - in love with Helen. SCENE I. - Class Room. Class Meeting. Class members stroll in. SCENE II. - Another room in the building at the same time, the following day. Preferably the art room, or teacher's room. Meeting of the Entertainment Committee. Act I. Pres. - Will the meeting please come to order? Bright Boy - Yes sir. Pres. - We shall have the minutes of the last meeting read. Sec. - I forgot to write the minutes for the last meeting. Pres. - Well, now - what comes next? Girl - Mr. President, I move that the president appoint a committee of five to plan the entertainment for the party. Pres. - Are we in favor of this? (Silence) I mean-er-uh-a-all those in favor of this please stand. (Everybody stands up and sits down three or four times.) Pres. - Well, I guess the motion is carried. I'll appoint the committee after the meeting. Boy -I move that the treasurer take up the tax, and pay the bills for the last party, before we give this one. Girl - I second the motion. Boy - I move the meeting adjourn. Second Boy - Address the chair. Pres. Just a moment - er- is there a second to this motion? Girl - I rise to a point of ordr - . There's a motion before the house. Pres - All right. Now, we'll hear from the chairman of the "Eats" Committee. Chairman - (Rises) The committee met last night and we find that our plans will necessitate a 20 cent tax. Pres - A 20 cent tax has been levied by the "Eats" Committee. All those in favor please stand. (Half the class stands). Pres - The members of the class please bring your tax to-morrow. Girl - Mr. President, I call for another vote to be taken. Pres 0 All those in favor of a 20 cent tax please stand. (Just three rise) Pres - The motion is lost. Girl - I move the "Eats" Committee change its plans and lower the tax to 15 cents. Fat Boy - I make the motion that they raise it to 25 cents so's we'll all have plenty to eat. Pres - All those in favor of this please rise. (No one rises) Pres - All those in favor of this please say I. (Chorus of Ayes) Pres - Contrary, the same. (Chorus of Ayes) Pres - The motion is carried. Voices of several - What was the motion? Girl - I move the meeting adjourn. Boy - I second the motion. Pres. - All those in favor, please - Crowd shouts - Aye. (Crowd rushes out) ACT II Enter- Louise, Glen, Helen, George and Hal. Louise - Well, since I am chairman, I start proceedings by saying that whatever we do, let's make this a regular party. Hal - I second the motion. - Let's have a big time of it. Helen - We must first plan what we shall do to draw the crowd together. Glen - A get- together idea of some sort, like Musical chairs of something like that -yes-you know what I mean. George - Yes, yes, - so we must. (Group moves around thinking hard) Helen - I have it! - We'll start off with drop-th-handkerchief, and after they get tired of that we'll have a grab-bag, or somethin with prizes. Hal - Oh, give it a rest! Bunk! Let's have a show - something "peppy". Louise - (Cooly) Since we have just two days in which to plan the entertainment, I thing it would be best to decide mighty soon, if we are going to have a SHOW. Glen - Why not have a clever little musical farce. I know who has one. Its entitled "Love's Mix-up"; and there's just enough characters for this committee. You see, its this way - the play starts off with a mix-up, and ends with a mix-up, and the hero has to kiss the heroine twice in the first act and then once more in the second act. This puts pep into it and then - George - Bah! Somebody choke him! He's just fixing it so he can be hero and have Louise for heroine, I'm on to you, old boy. Louise - He wasn't planning anything of the sort. I suppose you'd like it better if you were hero, and could kiss Helen as much as you liked. Hal - Say, we aren't getting anyplace at all. We've been gabbing here for almost an hour, and we haven't decided what to start with even. Glen - You poor fish! I've just been telling you what a good farce we could put on, and everybody would rave about the fine party, and the good entertainment. Hal - (Sarcastically) Yes, they'd rave all right, if you stood up there and kissed Louise some half dozen times. Louise - (Icily) Is this a Committee Meeting of a Discussion Club? Helen - You boys are the limit! Now, I think a mock court would be easiest, and most entertaining thing we could possibly have. You know, have a different ones come up to answer charges, and then pay bail with a stunt of some kind. Hal - (High pitched, to appear ridiculous) Oh, lovely. Everybody gets bailed out, and then the judge runs out of wit. Ive seen e'm before. Lousie - 0 Well, will you kindly inform us, just what would you like, Mr. Carroll? Hal - Oh, anything - but not a grab-bag, or drop-the-handkerchief, or a mock-court. The first are too infantile, and the last is too dry. Helen - If no one has any objections, I'm going to study my English for to-morrow. (Takes book and goes off in the corner to study) Louise - (Rather despairingly) As chairman of this committee, I really feel responsible for the plans, and I don't see that we have much to show. George - It seems to me that this would be a good time to refer the work of the entertainment committee over to some of the conscientious objectors to dancing at our parties. Why not go down to some the ministers and old maids who voted it down, and say, "We are trying to give a party to-morrow night - will you be so kind as to bring forth the entertainments you promised to give us in place of dancing?" O, yes, (sarcastically) I can just see them stare at us. But we'd have them there all right. (Every one laughs) Helen - I doubt if we'd get much practical assistance in that way, and what's more, the time to plan the entertainment is right now. Louise - 0 (Laughling) Glen and I are going to a dance out at Dufur that night, so we probably won't be here anyway. George - Helen and I aren't coming up till late eigher, we're going to see Theda Bara. Hal - Well, I didn't intend coming any way, there's a jitney dance Friday night. Glen - Its time to eat - let's go. George - O, let them do what they want to when they come up here Friday night. Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 33-34 MANUAL TRAINING ART Of all the things I dislike to do, Writing a report is one of the few. So many times I had written before, I thought surely she would ask me no more. But you can bet there comes a time, When I would even give a dime, For a lift in writing my report. When I see the editor approaching with a frown, I think, now there's one star less in my crown. And there's no use trying to explain When I know it would all be in vain. But doesn't it seem strange and funny That I would even offer money, For a lift before I start my report. We are sorry to learn that Miss Townsend will not be with us next year, as she has accepted another position. We hope that she will like her new position as well as we have liked her. Miss Marie Vaughan has been elected to take Miss Townsend's place. I hate to talk about the weather but it is so wonderful that I can't resist the temptation. At last the pleasure, we have so long looked forward to, has come. Mother Nature seemed to invite us outside to make a picture of her likness. We accepted, and as a result we have many scenes to our credit. Won't you come up to the art room and see if you can recognize some scenes of the surrounding hillsides? We have worked tirelessly on designing and have at last completed designs for wall paper, linoleums, carpets, book covers, and cloth. They are all quite original and we are thinking of entering them in the Art Museum at Paris. Some of us suggest that we establish a museum her in The Dalles so that our talented successors may contribute to this Hall of Fame. -M. Grizzell, '19 Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School, June edition, page 33 MANUAL TRAINING When The Power Is Off In The Printing Department "The power is off." Blankity! Blank! For this information we have the principal to thank, Turning the press by hand was no fun. And "Charley's Aunt" simply had to be "run". So the instructor said, "Louie, bring out the treadle, I am sure I am heavy enough to peddle." He started - one foot on the peddle, one on the floor. Oh! What would he give for one foot more! He had made it go but alas, alas! The weight of his foot had it going too fast. So it was step on the brake and slacken the speed, For Louie was pushing and of breath was in need. Then start up again on another round, 'Till "Charley's Aunt" was completely "run" down. - F. Woodford, '21 Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 32-33 MANUAL TRAINING STENOGRAPHIC Alex Shipe, a commercial student, formerly of the Naval Reserve and a wireless operator for the United States Emergency Fleet Corporation, has returned to graduate with the 1919 class. We are glad to welcome him to our class as the boys are in the minority. Miss Edna Pease, who has been taking shorthand and typewriting at the night school is now taking stenography in the day classes. Mildred Nielsen has accepted a permanent position at the French & Company bank. Miss Katherine Anderson is taking Miss Nielsen's former position as stenographer in the office of The Dalles High school. The one year shorthand classes have completed the year's work and are now doing second year work. Many of the members of these classes take dictation of new material at a rate of a hundred or more words per minute. They are very proud of themselves, as this represents only six months of real school work. Our hook and crook classes are planning a picnic, which will be held some time the latter part of this week. A committee, consisting of one member from each class, has been appointed to make arrangements for the eats. Other committees have been appointed to look after the transportation, and a suitable place to have our picnic. We are all looking forward to a very enjoyable time.

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 32 MANUAL TRAINING CARPENTRY The carpentry class has become more of a Manual Training class the second semester. Each student is doing individual work and is striving to complete some article which he has planned to make. The time is short and some of the work needs much patience and skill, but on a whole the tasks will be successfully accomplished. It has been the plan of the class to exhibit, in one of the show windows of the down town district, the articles made, but whether or not this will be done is yet to be decided. The class has shown its ability in carpentry work the first semester by the work turned out under the skilled supervision of instructor, E.O. Ervin. Among the articles turned out are different sections of modern bungalow, and a large number of bedside tables for the Red Cross. -E. K., '19 Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 19-20 YE TWINS SCENE - The inside of a church with a large crowd occupying the many too few seats that there were. CHARACTERS - Binks and Jinks, two twin brothers who are to marry Ellen and Helen, also twins. Ellen and Helen tripped down the aisle of the church and seated themselves to wait the arrival of their soon-to-be husbands. "I wonder if Binks and Jinks know how much they look alike," exclaimed Helen, "I can hardly tell them apart." "That is what they say about us," answered Ellen. "But I don't think that we look much alike. If --" "Oh, here they come," broke in Helen, as the two lads stepped gallantly down the aisle toward their brides-to-be. "Come Helen," exclaimed Ellen, as the girls stepped toward Binks. "No," said Binks, "I am to marry her," pointing to Helen. "No I'm to marry you," answered Ellen. "I'm to marry him," broke in Helen. "Say, cut the comedy, I'm to marry Helen myself," blurted out Jinks. "Where do you get that old stuff?" hotly answered Binks, Helen's mine." "No you're to marry me," says Ellen, "aren't you?" "Yes, I'm --" "Say, am I to marry --" Jinks' exclamation was broken into by the voice of the minister who had waited a few minutes to let them settle the quarrel but had finally decided that he must act. "Which one are you?" hes asked Ellen. "I'm Ellen," she answered. "And which one are you to marry?" "Binks." Turning to the two young men the minister inquired as to their names. "I'm Binks and he --" "Well, you are the one. Just take this young lady's hand and step up to the alter," ordered the minister as he led the way. "I knew Binks was mine all the time," flung back Ellen as they stepped gaily down toward eternal doom. - Frank Frizzell Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 31 VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT PUBLIC SPEAKING Orators and orations are now the cause of toil in the Public Speaking class. The members are now polishing their masterpieces, over which, for the past two weeks, they have been wracking their brains for words and phrases equal or better than those of Patrick Henry or Daniel Webster. In the near future the better of these orations will be given before the assembly, and the best will be in the Senior Issue of the Steelhead. A great deal of hard work has been necessary to compose and learn these orations and we feel sure that the best of the class will be represented. In the middle of May, practice will be resumed on the play, "A Case of Suspension", which was postponed from the first of the semester. This class has great hopes for next year. The High school is going to be represented in debate and, with a Public Speaking class with one year's practice, she is going to have a fine chance in the winning of the State championship. - Chester Philips, '21 Submitted by Earline Wasser

Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, pages 18-19 LIFE There are four stages to life, childhood, middle-age, old age, and death. The sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil. As time goes on we realize, come what come may, that time and the hour runs through the roughest day. When old age comes to those who have lived and gained for themselves only they know what, they say, "I have lived long enough: my way of llife is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but in their stead curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath, which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not. And after all, life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifing nothing. - M.
