Gresham, Nov. 3. 1914.
The James John Warriors
made an assault upon the Gres-
ham stronghold today. Fat.
while making a cavalry charge,
was struck in the eye by a bull
let and rendered unconscious for
a time. Bill Teutsch was SER
iously wounded by a charge
from a Gresham big siege gun.
The injured were many, and
both forces have withdrawn
from the field until 1915.
Nov. Z. 19l4.-The j. j. War
riors advanced their head
quarters to Fort Estacada. The
first attack was made about 2
p. m. on the school house.
From there the invaders turned
their attention to the fortiica-
tions on the football field. Sund-
strom. while making a heroic
effort to save the (flag) ball,
was struck down by an Estacada
horseman and has two cut lips
as a result. James John then
made a last furious charge with
Bill in the lead. A cannon ball,
crashing thru the air, tore his

firing line. into the fort, and
the field was won.

From An Alumni

iii am very Elau 10 contribute
my part to this new enterprise
of the Junior class. am much
interested in il because il shows
a spirit of enthusiasm and pro.
gressiveness which is good to
behold. | am beginning to see
more clearly every year what
powers and possibilities the
small high school possesses.
My message to you is that you
should be grateful and proud
that you are members of a school
| like James John and not of one
of the large city high schools.
In my college experiences / have
come in contact with a great
number of graduates from the
largest, most extensively equip
ped high schools, and with a
lesser number from the smaller
high schools; and have often
been surprised to notice the
different spirit in which these
two groups look back upon their
respective high schools.
The first group regard it as a
necessary evil which must be
endured before college could be
possible for them, period in
which they had to submit to|
petty rules and strict discipline
laid upon them by teachers who
neither knew them nor cared
for them as individuals, place
where each one tried to get as
much credit as he was able,
with the least possible exer-
ton. In short, it was a more or
less mechanical performance for
| all parties concerned. Unless
one stood at one OF. the other
extreme of intellectual or social
efficiency. he never became an
individual but was merely one
Of the many. This group, gen
orally, has no interest in its
alumnal activities. regarding
them as. painful reminders of a
more or less troubled period of
their lives. Of course this at
titude is not absolute, sbut IL is
typical.
The other group recalls its
high school experiences with
true affection. These people
come from small classes
where everyone knew everybody
else intimately, where the teach
ers were few in number and
each felt some personal interest
in and comprehension of them as
individuals. Each one had had
some special responsibility and
share in the school community
and had consequently felt him
self individualized and not just
one Of crowd. in at least one
field of activity. To these peo-
| pie high school meant a period
Of development and self-discov-
cry. They found how well they
could do things and gained con-
fdence and efficiency in the do
ing. Incidentally they got much
more from their school life. for
"Those who do most for any
thing always care most for il"
Their schools really belonged TO
them for they had helped to
make them.
And so il seems 10 me a real
misfortune TO find oneself a
member of a school where every
thing is organized. where GUS
toms and traditions are already
laid down, and there is no en-
thusiasm TO create new ones.
There is plenty of talent in
James John to make il one of the
finest high schools in the state.
Quality doesn't depend on re-
sources and equipment-they
are just the tools to work with.
IL depends on the spirit and en-
thusiasm of the members of the
school. The present indications
of this spirit are. | think. pro-
phetic of q most productive and
satisfactory future.
From one who is, and always
hopes to be. one of you in spirit.

LIKE MISS kELLERMAN
Topeka Thinks "Neptune's Daughter
Is Worth While.

Before the show season opened, Roy
Crawford had contracted for the
Annette Kellerman movie extrava-
ganza, "Neptune's Daughter" which
filled the upper crust motion picture
houses in New York last winter at a
dollar and up per seat. The show has
reached Topeka, and is being shown
all this week at the Grand at IS cents
and up. It furnishes about the longest
moving picture entertainment ever
given here, or more than two hours of
steady work on The crank of the pro-
jectlng machine. The regular theater
crowd was out last night, and at least
one patron had the crust to appear
in full dress, or hunting case scenery.
"Neptune's Daughter" is fairy
story. and was written and staged for
no other purpose than to show off
Annette Ke1lerman, champion woman
diver of the world. at her best. It
shows wonderful Ingenuity in staging
and lavish scenic effects. The open
ing of the series shows Miss Kellerman
and her company embarklng for the
warm waters of Bermuda, where the
extravaganza was staged The pic
turesque rocks and clear deep water
of the Bermuda coast seemed made to
order for the flock Of mermaids that
are a most important and attractive
part of the scenery, and Miss Keller
man, who plays the part Of mermaid,
changed by witch into a mortal, re-
mains wet major portion of the time
without danger OF pneumonia.
The fairy story full of thrilling cpl
sodes and beautiful scenery, is one OF
the most expensive productions ever
staged before a motion camera, and
gives the shapely Miss Kellerman am
pie opportunity to show her skill in
the water.
The medium sized audience at the
Grand seemed we'll pleased with the
production.
