I found a few issues of "The Pedestal" in my grandmother's trunk & will transcribe several articles that mention names in case they are of interest to someone. Carol Paul Published by the students of Walla Walla High School Editor-in-Chief Gaius Greenslade Assistant Editor Heber Ryan Locals Byron Loney Reporters Ethel Wiseman Rudolph Rupp Dottie Perry Seniors James McCool Juniors Alta Simpson Sophomores Laura Philippi Freshmen Herman Root Exchanges Nellie Showerman Assistants Annie Ringhoffer Opha Chadsey Athletics Louis Sutherland Business Manager George Thompson Subscription Agent Jesse Blalock Advertising Agent Ray Sutherland Athletics - Track ...As was announced in an earlier number, Ned McLean was elected captain of the track team by the athletic association. A committee of three called on the school directors at one of their regular meetings and petitioned that a running track be made around the school grounds. The request was granted and the result is that we now have a well laid out track just inside the school fence, measuring about 500 yards. The goal posts used in football season were then converted into a jumping and vaulting standard. In the sprints, Captain McLean, Bowman and Brunton are expected to let nobody pass them. Brunton will run the quarter. Some prospective half-mile and mile men are: Coleman, McCool, Greenslade, Blalock, McCrea. For throwing the hammer, we do not lack a man with the necessary strength, but we do lack a man with the "nack" for this test of strength and skill. There is no probability of our gaining any points on the pole vault, unless the proper man is still in hiding. McLean will enter the hurdles and running broad jump. Bowman and Rupp will handle the shot. L. Sutherland is doing the high jump and so far is the only candidate. The first meet will be held May 9. Invitations for this meet were issued by Whitman College and will be managed by that institution. Besides Walla Walla High School and Whitman Academy the following schools will in all probability take part: Spokane High School, Waitsburg Academy, Pendleton Academy, Huntsville Seminary, Weston Normal, School Baker City High School. BASKETBALL As is generally known by the school at his time there is to be a series of 3 basketball games between the girls of St. Paul's school and High School. Mr. Z. K. Straight, the prominent jeweler of our city, has offered a silver cup as a trophy to the successful team. The outlook for basketball is not as encouraging as it was when our girls were preparing to go to Pullman for their last game. Illness and parental objections have so completely thinned out the team that there now remain but two of the original six star players. JUNIOR CLASS Byron Loney, one of the two Junior boys, has gone on an extended tour of Canada. Margaret Steel was ill several days last week. Rudolph Rupp has designed something very new in shirtwaists. Elmer says it is impossible to get a girl to like him. LOCAL & PERSONAL The Junior class again has only one boy, as Byron has gone to Canada. Minnie Malloy is suffering from a severe attack of appendicitis. Annie Ringhoffer has left school. Prof. Burke & Prof. Shepherd went to Spokane to attend the Inland Empire Association. Leland Crocker, becoming somewhat near-sighted, has moved his eat so he may be able to see Kittie better. Byron Loney left us some days ago for the alleged purpose of going to Canada. A few mornings later, when he was supposed by many to be in Toronto, he stalked into the school room as if he had never missed a day.
