Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 53 SENIOR DEPARTMENT SALUTATORY (Madam picks up a paper) - Ah! here is the evening paper. Getting ready for election again, how time does fly! I wonder who are to be candidates this year. (Knock heard. Madam lays paper aside.) (Very well dressed gentleman enters.) - How-do-you-do, Madam. I have come to consult you in behalf of my friends who are running for the Senatorship of New York State. These gentleman are opposed by two very strong politicians, and we wish to know something of their past to publish in comparison with our candidates, in the coming campaign. These men are from Oregon, but for several years have been the political leaders and reformers in New York. They are Ivan Roberts and Alex Shipe, two of the strongest political men in New York. (Madam again consults globe.) - These men are both well educated men. Alex Shipe began his education at Oceanside, California. From there he came to The Dalles high school in 1916 as a Sophomore. He was graduated with the class of '19, and all through his school life, was a recognized leader in school activities. He was very clever, and an able leader. The globe shows nothing of importance that might be put down against him in your campaign. Ivan Roberts entered The Dalles schools in the first grade, at the Court Street school. He received his entire education in The Dalles and is a credit to those institutions. He figured prominently in Student body affairs he, also, can give you nothing to complain of in his past life. (Gentleman looks disgusted, and with brief thanks, takes abrupt leave.) (Madam to herself.) - I'm glad to hear that the boys are doing so nicely. They certainly are a credit to the old class. I hope they win. (Unsigned) Submitted by Earline Wasser
