Glass Poem

When another day dawns in the east,
Then the struggle of life is begun :
Though the school days were long, they
were one joyful song,
But the goal that we strove for is
won.
Ahead are new paths to be trod:
And the old ones grow DINNER and
fade;
But it is with sigh that we bid you
goodbye,
For we love each new friend we have
made.
Just a few have remained through the
years,
While many have dropped by tbs
way;
There's just nine to depart from the
forty to start,
But those left have been glad 10 stay
And now. as we leave our old school,
And start out in life anew
We will be till the last, as we were il
| the past,
Comrades-loyal, faithful and true.

Class History. '2I

In September, 1917, a motley crowd
of talented young people, to the num-
Der of 36, entered the doors of Boomers
Ferry high school; attired in all col
ors, sizes and shapes of clothing, some
with hats and some with caps, but all
determined to secure an education.
Slowly they filed through the office
and into the assembly. These new
freshmen, as they met the gaze of
students in the assembly, showed many
different expressions, varying from
one of meekness and submission on
the part of the fair little maid from
Cow Creek, to one of bold defiance
upon the part of the gallant young
Irishman from Copeland,
The lords of the hall, the Sophmores
cast their eyes upon these things who
slowly filed past them to the seats
which they, the Sophmores had va
Gated. Many were the belligerent
looks cast upon our huskies and many
loving glances cast upon our fair ones.
But, taken as a whole, the looks the
Freshman class of 1917 received were
filled with pity and contempt and life
in high school looked to be a vain and
hopeless path of thorns cast by their
predecessors for the benefit of the
Freshmen.
Slowly but surely this class was alb
sorbed into the school system until at
the end of the first year, Claude Fry
had succeeded the science teacher.
Doty had become a master carpenter.
Pearl Miller was a postmaster of al
zebra and others members of the class
had become equally popular with the
superintendent
In the fall of 1918 only "a of the
class which entered in 1917, returned
TO nigh school as Sophmores. These
"a were prouder than ever but still
lacking the touch of something that
makes the Seniors stand out so promi-
mently. 1t was this year that Mr..
Kerr became the superintendent and a
new regime was established Mr.. Kerr
took over the administration of the
schoo, system and the Sophmores of
1913 took over the administration of
the high school assembly.
Both these administrative bodies had
a brilliancy that still stands out prom
inently. Mr.. Kerr's brilliant success
comes in having won for Boomers Fer
ry higher standard of education in
his first year and the years that have
followed. The brilliancy of the Soph-
more class of 1918 comes in the form
of the beautiful color which crowns
the heads of two of the members of the
Senior Glass of 1921. During our
Sophmore year Dan Cupid Esquire
played havoc in our ranks for some
of our classmates left school life for
a home of their own, while some of
the remaining members fell MORALLY
wounded at the feet of some of the
higher classmen. Notwithstanding
this. however, the Sophmore Glass of
19lS-1919 was the life of the school
with Miss Ruth Underwood as class
advisor. On the memorable Friday.
June 18th. 1919, the Glass of 10 grad
uated, leaving behind them two beauti-
full works of art and numerous broken
hearts and shattered hopes, chiefly
two Sophmores-Pegg and Joe.
September the End, 1919. saw an en-
rollment of 16 members in the Junior
Glass, IA of whom were of the original
number. Wilbur Hammer, noted for the
fluency of his speech, his debating, and

to rule the world by militarism. But,
for us to combat, there arises in Rus
STA today more sinister evil; a power
which threatens to enyelop the earth
to undo the work of ages. and to
plunge the world again into darkness.
In our own country is the continued
strife between capital and labor; a
strife in which the middle class, as the
innocent bystander, is the sufferer.
These problems, and others like them
cannot be solved in the convenient
method of our forefathers-by the
sword and musket. They require a
careful study of the evils which pro-
duced them. To rid the world of these
evils, old ideals, old institutions may
have to be discarded. But we face
these tasks unflinchingly. We pro-
pose that the wheels of progress shall
continue to turn forward, and not
backward. We accept the Challenge
of Life"
Again we wish to express our appre-
citation of those whose efforts have
made it possible for us to attain the
position we hold tonight. The mem
bers of the high school faculty have
been our constant guides. They have
shown us how to solve our own prob
lens so that we look out upon the
world unafraid. They have been pa
'tient with our faults and ever willing
to extend a helping hand They have
stirred our ambitions and have raised
our ideals. The elevating influences
due to constant contact with them will
be felt throughout our entire lives.
I To our parents we are indebted most
of all. elhaps we but family realize
but we are not lacking in appreciation
of the sacrifices they have made IL
giving us an education. The members
of the school board we also thank fol
their efforts in providing a school O
such high standards.
We go. but others step forward Il
fill our places. We hope that, in som,
small way we have helped to max,
} their school better school than tn,
one we entered. We trust that the,
Twill constantly profit by the influence,
of high school life as we have profitet
! before them.
We regret to depart Though tn
goal for which we have been striving
is won we cannot lightly turn ava,
from the carefree, yet priceless asso
citation with our school fellows. Blu

VALEDICTORY

Schoolmates and Faculty, for the
last time the Glass of '21 is assembled
with you. For the last time we share
with you the pleasure derived from
four years of happy fellowship. For
the last time we look into familiar
faces which, though we may never
greet them again, our memories will
cherish forever.
AS years go by and we turn our
memories back to high school days the
things which will stand out in our
minds will not be thoughts OF hopeless
despair over X-square and Y-cube in
endless tangles. They will not be
memories of midnight oil wasted in
final desperate attempts to memorize
the perplexing causes of the fall of
Rome. Nor the fearful anxiety with
which we regarded the outcome of a
quiz in chemistry. Thoughts of these
already are slipping away. The memo
ries which we will hold dear and which
will grow stronger from year to year
viii be those of friendships made and
enduring; of the careless glee with
which we entered into the spirit of
high school trips and parties; of the
loyalty to school exhibited as we
cheered our teams to victory And
who will say that these are the least
of the influences of our high school
lives? We have but to keep sacred
these bonds of friendship to make our
lives contented
There is no friend like the old friend
who has shared our morning days;
No greeting like his welcome, no hom-
age like his praise;
Fame is the scentless flower with
gaudy crown of gold,
But friendship is the breathing rose,
with sweets in every fold"
We have but to enter into the differ
ent tasks ahead with that same zest
and spirit with which we entered into
school activities. to overcome obsta
Giles. We have but to remain as loya
to ourselves and to our ideals as W,
were to our school, to be successful il
,all our undertakings.
] We have paused on the threshold o.
a new life. For we realize that this
lmomentous occasion is but beginning
and our school years but preparation
for the years ahead. We are goini
forth as useful citizens of this nation
to take up the burdens of distressed
world At no time in its history ha
1.-THE earth been more in need of capa
BILE men and women. Unsolved prob
lens, as perplexing as any faced b.
Jour forefathers greet us on every hand
The present generation has success

THE ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES

The annual commencement exercises
of the Boomers Ferry High School were
held In the high school auditorium,
Friday evening, May goth. The pro-
gram of the evening was opened by a
song, Merry June" by the Girls Sex
tette, which expressed in a pleasing
way the very spirit of the springtimes
Rev. w. 8. Walker, in fitting invoca-
ton, asked the blessing of God upon
the young people of the graduating
class.
Miss Wenz, the principal of our high
school, who acted as chairman. intro
duced the speaker of the evening, DR..
A. H. Upham, who has recently been
inaugurated president of the Univer-
sity of Idaho. In an earnest, straight
forward, convincing way DR.. Upham
brought home to the large audience
that filled the auditorium, and to the
graduating class the fact that Idaho,
the United States, the world of tomor-
row, will be largely what the boys and
girls of today make 1t. The world is
full of unsolved problems and the
great and pressing need is for men
and women who can think their way
clearly through these problems and
who have the will and determination
to solve them. DR.. Upham stated that
when the intelligence tests were ap-
piled to the men of our army only 1E
per cent of the men stood in the A and
B classes, but when these same tests
were given to the freshmen of ouI
colleges and universities, who are only
about three months removed, rs pei
cent were in the A and b classes
Where, then, are we to look for oul
leaders? The answer is obvious. The
great need Is for these young peopl,
to be brought to a sense of their re
sponsibility. to feeling of their deb
to their community and country, which
they can only repay by loving service.
The address was followed by tbs
beautiful "Bedouin Love Song" SUM

NOTES


Inc Junior boys entertained the
girls at weiner roast at the Rocks
during the very first warm DAYS of
spring.
The first annual Junior-Senior pic.
mic was held at Snow creek last Sat.
urday. The Juniors and Seniors me,
at the school house bright and early
Cars were furnished by the Junior
class and the party left for the creek
The day was spent in hikes over the
hills and taking pictures was the
favorite pastime. Every one reported
a good time.
The Sophmore class is more than
flourishing in picnics and entertain
ments. They entertained the Seniors
at the high school gym and a very en-
1oyable time was spent. They have
had several outdoor entertainments
including party at the Howard ranch
and picnic at the Rocks.
The Frosh spent last Saturday after
noon on the summit of the hill back
of the high school. Although the climb
was stiff one and made the fleshy
members of the party puff, the view
from there was we'll worth the effort
The main events were an exciting
game OF baseball and the eats. 1t is
reported by good authority that Glenn
(Red) Jacoby, has great dislike fol-
any kind of marshmallow.
The Freshman class have mourned
the loss of one of their members
since Demie Morice answered the cal
of the Grim Reaper. Demie came tc
us from Naples and in his own quiet
and unassuming way won his place
among us. His class and other schoo
mates extend their sympathy to the
family.

where she early learned to accomplish
and master her speech. She talked
her way through the first six years
then she went to California for the
next year. She returned to Washing

Oakesdale in 1917. One day a strong
wind blowing north through the Pa
louise country picked her up and
dropped her in the midst of our city.
Among the accomplishments she had
to her credit are the high rank In
scholarship, and one of the best de-

not being able to eyade kidnapping.

BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
Present Indications Prophesy
Progressive Activity
in Oil World.

A most optimistic spirit as to the
market conditions OF the petroleum in
dustry in the near future reigns in
the ranks Of the oil men, with the
feeling substantiated by evidences of
coming prosperity which have crop
ped up during the past few weeks
During "a short time following the
lifting of drilling restrictions in the
Hewitt field area, there was fear by
the majority of the local oil men that
production in the area with drilling
unrestricted, would be brought TO such
high figures as TO endanger the
market in that supply would surpass
consumption. The Hewitt field was
regarded as the danger spot Of the
AGidcontinent. However. all fear was
removed when it was noted that with
The lid off, production Of the jewel Of
The midcontinent area did not rise in
such rapid manner as had been predict.
I'd. but held more or less steady.
The next cause for doubt as TO a
rising market in crude quotation ar
rived with bringing in Ud the monster
production in the Mexia TeXasl field,
threatening TO flood the market with
vast margin. But regardless of
tremendous increases i'm the MeNia
area. a rise in quotation. rather than
q fan. has followed. Reports brought
here by local men who have visited the
Mexia area state that % dry holes
have been drilled in the Mexia district,
which means that the field is pTact-
cally defined IL such be the case, and
the danger OF oyerproduc1ion resultant
Of MeNia need cause no worry
The high prices which the recent
Usage sale brought may also be re-.
garded as forcrunner of bright times
ahead for it displays the great con.
fidence which the operators entertain
in the future of the industry. The
buyers at the Osueo sale included the
