Feats of Voodoo

Three Richard Montgomery stu
dents sacrificed their dignity be-
fore an audience of over 500 boys
and girls when Everett, the Magi-
clan performed mysterious feats
of "voodoo," recently in the gym
nasium.
Sponsored by the school band,
Everett and his brunette assistant
fascinated the students with such
magic as the "fioating-lady act"
in which Shirley Watkins of the
ninth grade participated; the ode
capitation" Of Senior Buddy Bris-
coe, who was subjected to a razor
sharp guillotine; and a "card
shark" act, in which Sue Clement,
9Th grade, assisted. All partici-
pants escaped without injury.
Not only did the student body
enjoy the hour of screaming" en-
tertainrnent, but the band members
were able to feed their piggie bank
nearly sixty dollars made on gate
receipts.

Richard Montgomery High
School Notes
The Guidance Program

"What the guidance program
offers in Richard Montgomery"
was the topic of the talk given by
Robert A. Gibson, school counselor,
when he addressed the brethren
of the local Presbyterian Churh
one evening last week.
The group, being entertained in
the home of H. M. White, enjoyed
the opportunity to ask questions
about the purpose of the R.M.H.S.
educational guidance work. Sever
al of the churchmen have children
in the high school and were per-
sonally interested in the informa-
ton Mr.. Gibson had to offer.
The guidance program, since it
was initiated on a full-time basis
by the counselor last year, has al
ready expanded to a well organiz-
ed, functioning part of the Richard
Montgomery curriculum. Through
the guidance office the school is
better able to assist children in
finding the courses which best fit
them for the future.

The game we were thinking of
took place on October 8, 1914. Dick
Rudolph was facing Chief Bender,
one of the great pitchers of all
time. Rudolph was good-but he
was no Chief Bender. But the un-
derrated Boston began hammering
Bender. And the smart, cool Ru-
dolph tied up the hard-hitting Ath-
letics. Rudolph beat Bender to l
in that opening game. This was
hard jolt to Athletic fans.

Important Events of 1914

What else happened in 1914? Babe
Ruth was just breaking in. The
Babe was a rookie. Bobby Jones
was only IL years old. Ty Cobb was

Toledo. Jack was stringy kid of
10, weighing 165 pounds.

The Braves of 1914 were only
fair ball club. They were 80 per

Johnny Evers and Rabbit Maran-

a ball field than any two men I've
ever known-barring one--a fellow

0 PROMISE ME!

A columnist who follows polit-
ical doings recently wrote that
much of the campaign emphasis
this year will be on more and
more benefits for the little man"
= which simply means promises
of more and bigger social gains"
to be paid for out of public funds.
There is nothing new In this -
it simply repeats a pattern we
have seen many times before. Nor
is it bipartisan matter = the
candidates of all the parties will
as usual sweat to Guido others
with promises when they get down
to the business of bringing home
the bacon in the form OF votes.
And it is not confined to the
contest for the Presidency it
filters down to all political levels,
including campaigns for Congress,
for Governorships, for county COM
missioners, for mayoralities. But
it does reach its most aggravated
form in a Presidential election
year when the outs are trying to
get in, and the ms are fighting
to hold their prize.
Just how seriously the so-called
little man" regards the grandi-
loquent political promises which
are held out to him is a moot
question. But, by this time, every
one in the countdy who is able
to read and do simple arithmetic
must realize that all the social
gains, real and spurious, must
be paid for. And the argument
that the rich will do the paying
lost validity long ago-the grasp
ing hand of the tax collector
reaches down to the lowest of
income groups, and it always digs
deep. It is the average man and
woman of America not few
hundred millionaires who must
pay practically all of the bills.
And it is not merely a case of
paying the basic costs of big
We must pay, in adj

And, of greatest importance, we

must pay in the more precious

portunity, the strangling of enter

other burdens that follow con-
stantly greater GENERALIZATION of

politician, regardless of his party
and the office he seeks, sings his
siren song of more public "gifts"
to the little man" The old "soci-
al gains" theme may have an at
tractive ring until the bill is
presented, and then the little
man" will pay, not the vote seeker
who promised free party. It is
really time for the voter to try
and distinguish between the hon
est public official, and the pro

matters pertaining to the Local.
However, he wired his regrets. A

siding. Remarks were made by
the following officers: c. F..
Mathis, assistant secretary-treas-
urer, gave the WELCOME address;
George Nichols, system chairman
of the Great Northern RalIroad,
spoke of the necessity of organi-
cation and what has been accom-
plished by organized labor. Vice
President H. c. Bell gave his
torp of the Locals gains since it
was first organized ten years ago.
At this point the meeting was
turned over to Mrs. Roy Green,
president of the Ladies' Auxiliary.
Mrs. Green stated that the coop
Grafton of the Ladies auxiliary
would be a great asset to the
members of Local SIS. In behalf

tertainment committee, for such

Vote For Proposition A

Every voter in the Jackson st.
area has a special personal inter-
est in Tuesdays election and it is
very important to this district that
everyone cast his vote, according
to James M. Matsuoka, chairman
of the Civic Committee of the
Jackson st. Community Council.
"The ballot, on March o, will
carry in addition to mayoralty and
city council candidates, a propos-
al, Proposition A, to provide mon
ey for improved street Lighting"
Matsuol1a said. Passage of this
measure will make possible, for
the first time, adequate lighting
in the business district of this
neighborhood, which will do a
great deal to reduce crime and
traffic accidents and make this
district more attractive. The plan
includes replacement of lights on
Jackson, Yesler and Dearborn, and
from Fifth to Ninth Avenues be-
tween Jackson and Dearborn.
Three proposition, including
two bond issues, are to be voted
on at the March 8 election. In
addition to Proposition A, the
bond issue for street lights, a
$4,000, 900 bond issue for rehabil-
itation of the park system, and a
City Charter amendment provid-
ing for a park superintendent out
side of the city civil service will
also be up for vote. The Munich
pal League has also endorsed
these proposals.
