C'p. ECAUSE our Class of ’28 is a pioneer
-J class in that it is the first class to be
graduated from Stadium as a senior high
school, we are dedicating The Tahoma to
those old heroes, the pioneers, both in name
and in motif. Out of a mass of trials and
tribulations, errors and inspirations, we have
evolved a Tahoma. We hope you like it
now and in years to come.

1928 Class S°ng
Words by Freda Belle Lesher
Music by Marjorie Gardner
The time to leave our dear old school
Has rolled around too fast;
We’ve had good times at Stadium,
We’re sorry that they’re past—
We’ve found the sledding pretty hard,
But we were glad to wait,
For we’ve come out the winners now—
The Class of Twenty-Eight.
CHORUS
Oh, Stadium, dear old Stadium,
We’ll fling your colors high,
And for your sake, old school of ours,
To do our best we’ll try.
Your tender loving guidance
Shines a light upon the way,
’Twill make clear the path we travel,
And guide us day by day.

^enior Class ^History
BY EVELYN GUNDERSON
Secretary of the Class of 1928
(37 HE history of the Class of 1928 as a whole covers only three years. It com-
bined the remnant of the Freshman Class at Stadium and the first class to
enter from Jason Lee. But in three short years we have cut our niche in Stadium’s
Hall of Fame.
As sophomores we organized, led by Oliver Edwards, LeRoy Baker, Helen
DeLine and Betty Robbins. We astonished the juniors and seniors by becoming the
school debate champions. This was the first time in the history of Stadium that a
sophomore team had won the school championship.
Herb Davis was a shining example of all that could be wished for in a Junior
Class president. He was ably assisted by the officers, Jack Havard, Elizabeth Lit-
tle, Virginia Names and Bob Witter. Our junior prom was such a success that in
March we staged a junior frolic.
Even as juniors we began to gain the spotlight. In football Emil Johanson
and Walter Grohnert were already on the first team, and we were not surprised when
Emil as a senior rose to the top as captain of the first-team football and Walter
became one of the stars on the line. Other senior lettermen were Wes Lees, Whit
Lees, John Kaputof and Morris Myers.
Our 10B and junior girls’ swimming teams defeated all others—another proof
of the material in the 1928 class.
Steadily gaining recognition for our talents and cooperation in school activities,
in September, 1927, we organized as the Senior Class. Our officers are Harry
Brown, Al Erickson, Evelyn Gunderson, Tom Wood and Bill Deering. Harry
Brown, the president, is a born leader. He has proved his ability as leader of our
class.
In February, 1928, we had our social event of the semester, the senior banquet.
The seniors turned out almost 100 per cent for the occasion and every one enjoyed
it. Emil Johanson proved himself to be as good a toastmaster as he is a football
hero. Harry Brown, popular president, welcomed the Junior Class and read the
Stadium Creed. Gordon Gillespie, junior president, responded. After splendid
speeches by Principal Hunt, Mr. Hilton and the Rev. Paul Reagor, three vocal
duets were given by Betty Robbins and Charlotte Harris, accompanied by Mae
Keith. Shirley Arthur gave a clever speech on "Boys” and Herb Davis’ toast, when
he spoke of "Girls I Have Met,” was equally clever. After the program dancing
was enjoyed in the gym, decorated in our class colors, burnt orange and white, as
were the banquet tables.
In March Stadium presented the opera, "The Firefly.” This year our class
furnished both the feminine and masculine leads as well as the comedy lead. Evelyn
Gunderson, Mildred Larson, Gilbert Richards, John Brush and Morris Summers
were the stars of "The Firefly”—all of the Class of 1928.
In May the Senior Class play, "The Goose Hangs High,” was presented to an
enthusiastic audience. The whole cast displayed dramatic ability. The most im-
portant parts were successfully played by Eugenia Simmons, Barbara Dobson, Eliza-
beth Little, Bonita Reeder, George Bolton, Gordon Wilson and Wilmot McCune.

Proclamation No. 4,712
(577 OR several years it has been the custom for the graduating class of Stadium
c-7 High School to dispose of its property by means of a will.
The Senior Class has much to be thankful for. Its material wealth is unpar-
alleled. Never before has there been such an era of gum-chewing as at present.
Nor is the class lacking in spiritual riches. (I can’t think of any right now.)
Consequently a distribution of these properties is absolutely necessary, is of the
utmost importance in every way and is vital to the well-being of the school. In fact,
I would not hesitate to say that it would be a good thing.
Consequently, therefore, I, Hair E. Brown, last of the Mohicans, in this
hundred and fifty-second year of American Independence, in this four thousand
seven hundred and twelfth proclamation of the current season, and on this occasion
of the hundred-thousandth dish of Italian spaghetti served in the lunch room, do
declare, publish, proclaim, ordain, exclaim, declaim, put my seal upon, set my hand
unto, and make my mark upon this will
(Signed)

junior Class 'History
BY KATHERINE DOUD
Secretary of the' Class of 1929
07 HE first time we were known at Stadium was in September, 1926, when we
came from the intermediates and other schools as green froshmores. We were
scattered in different roll rooms, and had no particular interest in common except
that each one of us was called a mere "froshie.” When the Spohomore Class elec-
tions were held, however, we began to think of ourselves as an organization, the
Class of ’29.
After a campaign during which the halls were decorated with signs boosting
candidates, we borrowed a voting machine to elect our class officers. Virginia
Phelps was chosen president. This certainly showed individuality, since it was the
first time for years that a girl had been the head of a class. The other officers
were: Clarence Ward, vice president; Miles Thomas, secretary-treasurer; Jean And-
erson, sergeant at arms, and Franklin Sumner, yell king.
Then, to help manage the affairs of the class, a council, with one representative
from each roll, was elected. The members were: Eva Tuell, Truly Physeck, Ed
Perkins, Kathryn Browne, Sylvia Jones, Wilfrid Newschwander, Oscar Graham,
Oscar Utgaard, Wadsworth Welch, Clarence Ward, Maxine Jack, Katherine Doud,
Helen Nish, Flora Dix, Gwendolyn Leggee, Margaret Gillespie, Edward Peltier,
Frank Hale, Francis Chapman, Sterling Carmichael, Velma Armstrong and Roy
Alcorn.
Under auspices of this council a mixer was put on November 4. An entertain-
ing program was held in the auditorium with dancing and games, not to mention
the punch, in the gyms afterward. This jolly mixer and the one like it, on April 22,
proved to be successes.
These social events and two sophomore assemblies constituted the doings of the
Class of ’29 during its first year at Stadium High.
In September, 1927, we came back to school as dignified juniors. This time we
assembled in one roll room, the auditorium. The first thing we did was to elect
our class officers.

During roll for about a week the nominators had a chance to give speeches on
the good qualities of their candidates. This was exciting, as the talks and dialogues
were clever. The officers elected were: Gordon Gillespie, president; Harold And-
erson, vice president; Katherine Doud, secretary; Hugo Metzler, treasurer; Ed
Peltier, sergeant at arms; Virgil Cliff, yell leader. Later, when Virgil entered
senior roll, Raymond Johnson was chosen. Virginia Phelps and Paul Savidge were
elected as our representatives to the Student Council, while Margaret Wheeler and
Roland Tollefson were the two members on the Library Committee.

s„,“yn Le86"’refresUent5;
The decoration committee under the direction of Joseph Rausch, with Helen
Robbins, Katherine Doud, Harry Stevens and Arthur Robbins as assistants, trans-
formed the gym into fairyland. The walls were covered with green boughs, while a
rope of cedar boughs was draped from the center of the room to each corner. A
large purple ’29 with a purple and silver background was hung at each end of the
room. The orchestra pit surrounded by a picket fence decorated with boughs and
the class colors, and the punch stand also resplendent in purple and silver, added
much to appearances. The lights, however, were most pleasing. The globes were
dipped in purple, and with the long purple and silver streamers that hung from the
shades, gave a soft effect. Many said that the decorations were the prettiest they
had ever seen.
But, although planning for the prom was fun, the social part of it was much
more so. The first part of the evening’s entertainment was a peppy program in
the auditorium. A play entitled "A Box of Monkeys” was the main feature.
It was a funny, thrilling story dealing with a complicated love affair. The char-
acters were taken by Melita Harding, Miles Thomas, Janet Card, Gordon Martin
and Ruth Moline. The other numbers were: two whistling solos by Lois Messinger,
some pieces by Ethan Alien’s quartet, several dialogues by a group of junior tramps,
consisting of Ed Davie, Ed Anderson, Bill Drury, Bud Allen and Bud Niesen,
and a song by Ian Gordon.
Then every one went to the girls’ gym, where an orchestra was playing snappy
music for those who cared to dance. In the other gym, stunts and games were being
directed by the games committee for juniors who preferred to enjoy themselves
that way.
In February a junior annual cabinet was elected with a boy and girl from each
section of roll. The members were: Ruth Arwood, Bill Bergreen, Janet Card, Stan-
ley Clark, Margaret Dickerson, Seymour Davison, Mary Gordon, Leonard Higgins,
Murray Kirkwood, Betty Larson, Virginia Phelps, Dan Phelps, Margaret Miller,
Fred Middleton, Kathryn Tovey, Joseph Rausch, Harold Sand, Florence Wilson
and Harry Zimmer. Gordon Gillespie was chairman and Virginia Phelps was
secretary. The purpose of this cabinet was to choose the editor and other officials
for the 1929 Tahoma. On May 9 Leonard Higgins was announced as editor.
Of course, like any class, we had to have pins. Hazel Tennyson with Leonard
Higgins and Dan Phelps was appointed to see about them.

Secretary-T reasurer
(31 HE ship of ’30 has sailed merrily on during the year. Out of the turmoil
and confusion which always exist for the frosh, coming as they do from the
intermediates, emerged a well-organized, peppy class of sophomores.
The selection of officers is always a difficult task among so many students not
yet acquainted, but the Class of 30 made no mistake in choosing its president.
Ralph Johnson was elected to fill this office in a revote over Betty Arnold. Ralph,
a born leader, proved himself to be an earnest, ardent worker, showing the spirit of
a regular soph with the ability to rise to any occasion. This applies especially to his
ability to make work for the secretary.
In selecting a vice president the class again showed wisdom by electing exactly
the right student for the place, namely, Sam Stocking. Sam showed plenty of the
sophomore pep and worked untiringly as a member of all class committees. As he
is an excellent debater, it was an easy matter for him to hold the floor at will during
the "hot” arguments which occasionally arose in the class council.
Peggy Scudder was elected secretary-treasurer, in a revote, over Eleanor Hoyt.
To fill the position of sergeant at arms one must be pleasant as well as muscular
and gruff. John Firmin answered all qualifications so well that he was unanimously
elected. It seems that he has a special knack for controlling unruly members of the
Sophomore Council.
Boyd Meath, after much practice on the trumpet, became so long-winded that
he could perform the duties of a yell-king as nearly perfectly as possible.
Betty Arnold as girl represesentative to Student Council showed those "high
and mighty” upperclassmen that the Class of ’30 as sophomores are not the tradi-
tional dead-beats they are occasionally said to be.
Robert (or preferably just plain Bob) Summers has revealed to the world that
his middle name is cooperation. Working as he did with Betty, he, as the boy rep-
resentative to Student Council, put a deal of push and go into everything with which
he was connected.
Fifty-eight
Marian Hoska as the sophomore girl on the' Library Committee showed her
ability for hard work as a member of the publicity committee for Library Night.
She proved well worthy of the responsibility placed in her.
Edward Poole Marian’s sophomore co-worker on the Library Committee, also
was a member of the publicity committee for Library Night.
The first thing in order on the program for the sophomores was organization
of the class council Each of the 24 roll rooms elected one member to represent it
in this activity. The council met every Friday first roll in room 117. On this body
rested most of the responsibility of the year’s work.
It seems that the Class of 30 was destined to be successful from the start. To
begin with, two members of the class made a bust of Principal Hunt. The council
paid for the material, and Vernon Cunningham and Ward Alvord did the work.
As this was something entirely different and new to most Stadiumites, it attracted
no little attention. Mr. Hunt held open house in his office for a couple of days in
order that all who were interested might have an opportunity to see how much the
bust did resemble the "big chief.”
The bust was no sooner finished and presented than the council took up the
heavy work of planning a sophomore mixer. As the date set was only a few days
before St. Valentine s Day, the orchestra box was decorated with large red hearts.
The committee chairmen worked untiringly with their assistants to make the mixer
a success. Their labor and time proved well spent, and in the opinion of every
one the 15 cents charged for admission was well spent.
This great event took place on a certain Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The
program in the auditorium went off splendidly. The plays were well given and
the coaches had a good reason to be proud of their casts. Vernon Cunningham de-
lighted the audience by performing as a colored accordion man. Jerry Heilig sang
a group of solos. Then the meeting adjourned to the gyms, where dancing and
games were held. In the girls’ gym Boyd Meath had a hand-picked orchestra con-
taining almost everything from frosh to P. G. Harold Jacobsen, with the help of
Mary Shull, conducted games in the boy’s gym. Perhaps the most popular corner
of either gym was that in which the punch and cookies were served. The mixer was
more of a success than might be expected, leaving in the treasury about $10.
There is one to whom both the officers and the members of the council as well
as the class as a whole feel indebted. Without her most valuable help none of the
enterprises of the Class of ’30 could have been nearly so successful as they were.
This good teacher is Miss D. Celia Burgess, faculty adviser for the sophs. Any
one who happened to be passing by room 117 at almost any hour, if he glanced
in, would more than likely see some sophomore (green or otherwise) seeking advice
from Miss Burgess. She was never too busy or too tired to help whenever she
could. She was always at council meetings on Friday to offer her advice and assis-
tance. It is with no little regret that the Class of ’30 gives her up to the next lucky
sophs.
The Sophomore Council took one other important action. The class constitu-
tion was read and a few changes made by the cabinet officers. Then the president
proposed an amendment that all past presidents of the Sophomore Class be made
honorary members of the Sophomore Council. The amendment was adopted and
became a part of the constitution. After much debate the class selected blue and
silver for its colors.

Student Council
CTj ROBABLY the most important organization around school is the Student
Council, which meets every Monday in room 108. It is composed of most of
the school leaders, and through its measures the will of the student body is ex-
pressed to the faculty.
The Student Council worked well and seriously on problems large and small
this year, and its influence was felt throughout the school. It was largely through
the leadership of Herb Davis, president, that so much was accomplished. The other
PRESIDENT officers were Don Willard, vice president; Elizabeth Little,
secretary, and Thomas Wood, treasurer.
The biggest task of the year was that of sponsoring and
directing the Nightshirt Parade, just before the Thanksgiving
football game. The parade through the downtown streets, the
program in the auditorium and the dance in the gym were
under its supervision. The capable committee in direct charge
consisted of Merrill Thompson, Mildred Larson and Morris
Summers. Practically the entire finances of the council for
the year are derived from this affair.
There was only one thing which marred the perfection of
the parade. That was a demonstration of boisterous rowdyism
during the auditorium program—a very unusual thing for a
Herbert Davis Stadium affair. Opinions taken at random from the entire
school showing the disapproval of the mass of students were read to the council by
Principal Hunt. A committee was appointed to work on suggestions for the future
prevention of such occurrences.
Probably the establishment of the insurance fund for athletes was one of the
biggest measures adopted by the council this year. Through this fund boys injured
while turning out for athletics will be taken care of. A small fee, not compulsory
Sixty-two
but necessary if the contributor wishes to benefit by the fund, is required from those
turning out. Proceeds from matinee dances, concerts, boxing shows and other affairs
will be donated to the fund The doctors of the Perkins Building Clinic willingly
cooperated in giving reduced rates. Coach Morris, Mr. Giltner, Mr. Matthews and
Mr. Perkins were instrumental m putting the measure through. To Ragnar Giske
chairman of the fund committee, goes most of the credit for the splendid working
out of the plan. r *
The revision of: athletic letters was also adopted by the council after being
worked out and pfanned by Wendell Hudson and Ed Brewitt. All teams other
than first teams will receive the same size letter, with a letter designating the team-
» blue R foe reserve, I for intermediate and M for midget-on the middle bar of rhe
yellow S. The size of the letters will be determined in proportion to the first-team
letter of the sport Each boxer will receive a service emblem in the form of a blue
diamond with a yellow S in the center. Managers will receive yellow letters instead
of blue.
One of the council’s regular duties is to sponsor matinee dances. This year
there were three, one orchestra being under contract to play for all of them A
10-cent admission was charged for the second dance to benefit the library, and for
the third to help establish the insurance fund. '
The athletic manager system was also revised. There will now be one head
manager and several junior managers, according to the sport. The junior boy who
has proved himself the best manager will be appointed head manager for the next
year.
The Records Committee, composed of Don Willard and Virginia Phelps, was
appointed by the council president. Don recorded all athletic and debate events,
while Virginia took care of everything else.
The council also supervised the sale of the "S” Books and the ordering and
selling of the football badges in the fall.
RECORDS COMMITTEE The Student Council received and wel-
comed all outside suggestions from students
and faculty, as it has done in the past and
will do in the future. Conducting class
elections also came within the council’s
scope, as well as many other important,
though in comparison minor, items.
An exceedingly important, new and rath-
er revolutionary thing which was established
this year was the Ability Record System.
Virginia Phelps, Don Willard Although this was not a Student Council
measure, it was first brought up before the council.
Since scholastic standing alone is often not a true record of a pupil’s ability,
talents and personality, a method was established whereby each pupil stated on one
card all his activities for the year. He then made out one card for each activity.
Representatives from all the organizations, called the informatory corps, then made
out cards for the active members of their organizations, noting their ability, reliabil-
ity, willingness and eagerness to work. In this way many a timid, modest, retiring
person who had the qualities of faithfulness and stick-to-itiveness was given credit
for his true worth.
These cards were filed in room 110 for future reference.

^tadiutn (publications
A FTER several years of endeavor to start a school publication The Tahoma
was permanently established as a magazine in 1897, under auspices of the
graduating class. During the first five years of its life the staff held office for the
entire year, but when two commencements a year were introduced in the old Tacoma
High School, each graduating class had its own staff.
In 1912 The Tahoma staff began again to hold office for
one year. The staff from the Class of ’13 was the last in
the Tacoma High School, for the name of the school was
changed to Stadium the next year because there were two high
schools with the opening of Lincoln. Beginning in Septem-
ber, 1914, The Tahoma was published in the interest of both
Stadium and Lincoln, the latter then called Lincoln Park High
School. It printed news of both schools, and the graduation
number was divided into two parts, one for Stadium’s seniors
and the other for Lincoln’s. This system was kept up until
U. N. HOFFMAN September, 1917, when Lincoln began its own magazine.
Director of Publication jn 1920-21 a weekly newspaper was first mentioned here,
and next year The Tahoma still boosted the idea, maintaining that Stadium was the
only large high school in the Northwest which did not have a weekly paper. Fin-
ally on September 28, 1922, The Stadium World was begun, under the guidance
of U. N. Hoffman, who came as journalism instructor that fall. The Tahoma
staffs had had no instruction in journalistic work before. Since then The Tahoma
has been an annual publication.
Not only has The Stadium World been recognized by its school, but also by
outsiders. In 1923 it first gained wide attention by sending a delegate the farthest
to the Central Interscholastic Press Association convention at Madison, Wis., and
thereby winning a cup. Again in 1924 it sent a delegate to the last convention held.
In 1925-26 the paper was given an all-American rating, having the honor of being
the best high school paper west of the Mississippi river and fifth best in the United
States. In 1926-27 it was again given All-American rating. It also was awarded in
May 1927 and 1928, for one year, the Whitman College shield, with the distinction
of the best high school paper in the Northwest.
Each year since 1924-25 the student who did the most outstanding work in
journalism for that year has had his name engraved on the cup won at Madison,
the winner being announced at commencement. The award has been given to
Randall Williams Jr., 1925, Kenneth E. White, 1926, and Alice Griggs, 1927.
Besides The Tahoma and The Stadium World, there is published each year
the "S” Book by a committee composed of students directed by Miss Alice Fraser
of the English department. This is a handbook containing useful information on
everything of interest in the school, and was first put out in the spring of 1924.
The next year there was no publication, the students during this year using the book
published the spring before. But in every succeeding year a book has been pro-
duced.

d LTHOUGH the fall staff was about the smallest that has ever put out The
Stadium World, it was a very efficient one, having as its editor Jack Havard
who, according to Mr. Hoffman, was the best editor that the paper ever had. "Cubs”
were taken from the newswriting classes to assist the regular staff as reporters.
The fifth anniversary of the paper was September 28, and a picture of the first
World, together with its history, was run on that date. At the staff banquet at the
Tacoma Hotel on the evening celebrating the issue of January 11, the "cub” number,
five new members were initiated into Quill and Scroll. Honor guests were Irene
Nicholson, editor of The World in the fall of 1925, and Alice Griggs, first president
of Quill and Scroll. The annual short-story contest, sponsored by the Student
Council and The Stadium World, was won this year by Jack Havard, whose name
is engraved on the bronze tablet. As in preceding years The World sent delegates
to the leaders and journalists’ conference at the University of Washington in Octo-
ber. Those who went were Jack Havard, Morris Summers and Mr. Hoffman.
The members of the staff were: Jack Havard, editor in chief; Phillip Benson,
business manager; Hugo Metzler, advertising manager; Morris Summers, circulation
manager; Donald Paine, circulation assistant; Margaret Daniels, news editor; Thorn-
ton Shaw, copy editor; Herb Davis, sports editor; Robert Knapp, sports assistant;
Elizabeth Little, feature stories; Isabel Nicolle, features; Ethlynne Smith, columnist;
Margaret Dickson, girls’ sports; Elmer Carr, Leonard Elsbree, Ione Goodwin, Mil-
dred Larson, Charles Lindstrom and Lester Seinfeld, reporters. The ad chasers
were Nellie Babcock, Ed Davie, Bradford Davis, Marie Hansen, Edward Rich,
Warren Ziegaus, Virginia Staniford, James Turnbull and Violet Moore. The fac-
ulty advisers were U. N. Hoffman for news and advertising, and P. S. Giltner for
finances.

Spring Stadium. ‘World Staff
AS editor in chief of one of the largest staffs to put out The World, Mildred
Larson proved herself a fine executive. Both the business manager, Harriett
Brown, and the editor were girls, an unusual coincidence. The spring staff was
organized on a new plan, there being one editor as executive over each of three
departments the general news, with Jack Williams as managing editor; sports,
headed by Don Willard, and the feature pages, under the jurisdiction of Mildred.
The staff looked forward with much interest to the dance with The Lincoln
News staff, who entertained this year. Since the spring of 1924, when Lincoln
originated this plan, there has been an annual social affair held, the two staffs enter-
taining in alternate years.
Because February 29 was a regular day of issue, the features of that number
were devoted to leap year. This is the first time that The Stadium World was
ever put out on that unusual date. The issues of February 23, 29, March 7 and
14 were sent to the National Scholastic Press Association, formerly the Central
Interscholastic Press Association, to be entered in the eighth annual national contest.
Five of this staff who were admitted to Quill and Scroll in the spring were:
Gwendolyn Leggee, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Williams, Cecil Friedman and James
Turnbull. Turnbull is editor for next fall.
The members of the editorial staff were: Mildred Larson, editor in chief;
Don Willard, sports editor; Jack Williams, managing editor; Cecil Friedman,
news editor; Gwendolyn Leggee, features editor; Iris Aldrich, Shirley Arthur,
Bradford Davis, Tom Fitch, Madele Friedman, Clare Hartnett, Margaret Hollings-
worth, Eleanor Jackson, William LeVeque, Fern McFarland, Bruce McLean, Lucile
Moore, Virginia Names, Esther Power, Elizabeth Taylor, Patsy Thompson, Roland
Tollefson, Wadsworth Welch, Alida Wingard and Eloise Wood, reporters. Those
on the business and advertising staffs were: Harriett Brown, business manager;
Leonard Higgins, advertising manager; Donald Paine, circulation manager; John
Taylor, circulation assistant; Harold Anderson, Lee Bestler, Margaret Daniels,
Violet Moore, Isabel Nicolle, Truly Physeck, Thornton Shaw, James Turnbull
and Warren Ziegaus, advertising solicitors.

C7MDER the guidance of a girl, for the first time, the 1928 annual was published,
U with several innovations incorporated in it. Perhaps the most noticeable is the
m0re substantial cover, which preceding staffs have always sought but were not able
to finance. By reducing the number of pages and making other savings it was pos-
sible this year to achieve the long-desired goal. Larger pages also were a result of
the different cover, the entire effect being more artistic (the editors hope so at least).
From comments heard and from the total of 1460 subscriptions obtained, the
assembly given on March 22 to advertise the book was successful. A humorous skit,
"Fifty Years After,” by Elizabeth Little and William LeVeque, showed the future
value of the annual. A revue of various features of the publication was given
by the staff, illustrating the fate of a student if he did not subscribe, and of a victim
of "signaturitis. Fred Sandstrom, 23, business manager of his class annual, gave
a talk on the value of a Tahoma to a graduate.
The editor believes it appropriate in this space to mention some of the work
of the art committee, whose members produced all art work in the book. The
pioneer motif required original ideas and the carrying out of this theme was far
from easy. Special mention must be given to the division page, "The School,”
which was designed by James Scanlon, who was not a member of the staff but who
helped the art committee very much. The cover was made by Paul Elmer. The
other division pages were designed by the members of the committee. "Classes,”
which pictures Jason Lee teaching the Indians, was designed by Paul Williams, who
also produced Activities, which shows a sawmill, the only activity in the FJorth-
west in pioneer days. "Humor” was designed by Bernice Willigar. Glenn Lund-
berg, a junior, designed Sports, which shows a pioneer scout hunting, one of the
few early sports. The dedication design, which is a copy of the portrait of the Rev.
Jason Lee which hangs in the Ferry Museum, was drawn also by Glenn. ~
Nisqually, a pioneer settlement, illustrates "Organizations” and was designed by
Grace Enger. A pioneer scene by Margaret Fries marks the sub-title page.
The members of the annual staff for this year are: Margaret Daniels, editor in
chief; Thornton Shaw, boys’ associate; Elizabeth Little, girls’ associate; Phillip Ben-
son, business manager; Albert Derby, business assistant; Lester Seinfeld, circulation
manager; Isabel Nicolle, circulation assistant; Leo Sussman, advertising manager;
Thelma Owens, advertising assistant; Clare Hartnett, appointments; Bradford Davis,
cameraman; Margaret Dickson, organizations; Elizabeth Taylor, publications; Mil-
dred Larson, music and dramatics; Georgia Johnson, debate; Marie Hansen, girls’
sports; Don Willard, boys’ sports; James Fairbourn, sports assistant; Virginia Names,
humor; Lee Owens, humor; Paul Elmer, art committee chairman; Glenn Lundberg,
Gladys Schuh, Ethlynne Smith, Margaret Fries, Paul Williams, Grace Enger and
Bernice Willigar, members of art committee; Thomas Wood, snapshots; Lucile

man is adviser for the editorial staff and P. S. Giltner for the business staff.

G7 HAT Stadium had unusually good debaters this year was proved when, out of
about 15 major debates participated in with neighboring high schools and
colleges, they lost only one. Too much credit cannot be given the coaches and the
debaters on achieving this unusual record.
In commenting on this fact Mr. Lancaster, head debate coach, said, "There was
a much higher class of debaters at Stadium this year, which accounts for the success-
ful season.”
Miss Arntson, also speaking of the season, said: "While it is Stadium’s policy
to debate for the sake of debate, it is nevertheless gratifying to gain the decision,
and this year has been a very happy one for us from that viewpoint. Stadium has
long held an enviable reputation in the field of debate, and we are proud of our
1927-28 debaters in that they have been able to uphold it so successfully. Their
success is doubtless due in some degree to the use of the Oregon system, a more
difficult method than the old, but one which leads to a thorough understanding of
the question.”
Probably the contest which means most to the debaters and students of Sta-
dium is that with Lincoln for The News Tribune trophy. By their quick and
logical thinking, Stadium’s debaters gained an easy victory of 3 to 0 over a Lincoln
team of three girls, and thereby brought back the trophy which Lincoln had won the
previous year. Stadium’s team was composed of Lee Owens, William Le Veque
and Harold Garretson. The question under discussion was "Resolved, that the
President and Vice President be elected for a single six-year term, constitutionality
waived.” .
The debate which was considered by many the most interesting of the season was
that with the Badger Club of the University of Washington. The Oregon plan of
argumentation was used. This system consists of a main speech, cross-questioning
on that speech by the opposition and a rebuttal. Stadium showed its superiority
as debaters by winning with a 3 to 0 decision. Lester Seinfeld, Sidney Taylor and

zMusic and ^Dramatics
AJ-FERING as its feature "The Doll House,” a musical and dance skit, the
'^'annual Girls’ Glee Hi-Jinks was presented before an appreciative audience Fri-
day evening, December 9. The first part of the concert included three groups of
glee club numbers, a violin duet by Charlotte Donnelly and Kathryn Gregg, and a
group of piano solos by Barbro Fries. .
Representing dolls of five nations and three costume dolls, eight girls enter-
tained with songs, a dance and instrumental music, while Santa Claus and a little
girl looked on. Those taking part were Lucile Willman, Marion Billings, Bernice
Gribble, Claire McClenny, Jane Wright, Marion Kelly, Marian Elder, Evelyn
Gunderson, Alida Wingard, Mabel Gudmundsen and Claire Drinkwine, accom-
panist. During the intermission between the two parts, Dorothy Purkey and Claire
Drinkwine played popular piano numbers.
"Toy Symphony,” a tortured imitation of a symphony orchestra, and "Collitch
Boys Raw! Raw!” an exaggerated impression of college life, proved the outstanding
hits of the University of Washington Men’s Glee Club concert presented at Sta-
dium on Friday evening, January 20. Lyle McMullen, ’25, acted as accompanist,
and delighted his audience with a brilliant group of piano solos. Frank Hayes,
tenor, Samuel Couch, violinist, and the Varsity Quartet also won much applause.
The Christmas play, "The Cathedral Clock,” was personally coached by Mrs.
Gaul, and carried as its theme the spirit of Christ. The characters were: Alida
Wingard, Peer; Margaret E. Nelson, Margaret; William Gellermann, Frederick;
Wilmot McCune, the blind man; George Bolton, the voice.
To properly observe Columbus Day and Thanksgiving, special assembly pro-
grams of appropriate readings, speeches and characterizations were arranged by
students of Mrs. Gaul’s oral classes. Several oral pupils also assisted in the Lin-
coln and Washington assemblies.
The responsibility of providing musical numbers for assemblies throughout the
year has been fulfilled by Mr. Johnson, who has not only presented school music-
ians, but who has introduced well-known outside talent. Mrs. Henry Skramstad and

f^ONSIDERED by many the most successful opera ever given at Stadium, "The
^Firefly,” a modern comic opera, was presented this year on March 8, 9, 10, by
the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, under the direction of Clayton Johnson, music super-
visor.
It is a play in three acts, with the opening act in New York at Recreation
Pier, the second in Bermuda and the third again in New York.
The plot revolves around a little Italian girl who masquerades as a boy, and the
complications that arise because of the masquerade. Evelyn Gunderson as the
dainty heroine charmed her audiences with her flute-like voice, and was well sup-
ported by Gilbert Richards in the role of Jack Travers. John Brush as the valet,
a comedy role, was a hit with his amusing speeches and clever acting. Mildred
Larson as Geraldine, the quarrelsome fiancee of Jack’s; Morris Summers as John
Thurston, Geraldine’s sympathizer, and Catherine Lagen as the wealthy Mrs. Van
Dare, all contributed fine, natural performances.
The best-received songs were "Giannina Mia,” "Sympathy” and "Tommy
Atkins on a Dress Parade,” the last named featuring eight girls in military drill.

Senior Class 'Play
HE Goose Hangs High,” the first modern class play to be staged at Stadium,
was presented on May 4 and 5 to unusually large and responsive audiences.
The plot centers around the home life of the Ingals family, a very average Am-
erican family. It is during the Christmas holidays and the parents are anticipating
the homecoming of the twins, Lois and Bradley, who have been away at college.
According to Grandmother Bradley and Aunt Julia Murdoch, the twins are selfish,
pampered children who have no thought or appreciation for their parents. On the
contrary, when the financial crash comes, they and Hugh, the eldest son, nobly
rise to meet the test.
George Bolton as the father amazed every one with his superb characterization
and professional air. Eugenia Simmons easily carried off the role of the under-
standing mother, while Bonita Reeder and Wilmot McCune as the twins gave de-
lightful performances. Gordon Wilson as Hugh and Elizabeth Little as Dagmar
his fiancee, acted just as engaged couples should act and thrilled the audiences with
their romantic speeches. Barbara Dobson could not have better fitted the part of
Granny and was exceedingly clever and amusing in her impersonation. All other
characters were admirably taken, and to Mrs. Gaul goes praise and thanks for her
excellent coaching and advising. The cast included:

^Dramatic Club
HO could miss the kick in "He Said, She Said” at the Dramatic Club this
' r spring when Tom Fitch, as Myra Hartley’s husband, declared that he loved
his wife but would not publish it to the world? Who could, in fact, fail to appre-
ciate the fine plays and programs which make all the Dramatic Club meetings so
popular?
In the fall the club presented a successful matinee, including three one-act
plays which were all different and all well received. They were: "Not Such a
Goose,” a comedy about poor little brother, coached by Evelyn Gunderson; "Over-
tones,” a more serious play, coached by Mildred Larson, and "On a Park Bench,”
a romance, coached by Margaret E. Nelson.
In the spring, instead of another matinee, they gave two plays, "Not Such a
Goose” and "None So Deaf As Those Who Will Not Hear,” coached by Morris
Summers, at Library Night.
Money from both of these performances was put in the fund to buy the much-
needed curtain for the Dramatic Club room.
As usual Dramatic Club service pins were given to members for doing the re-
quired amount of work in the club—coaching and acting plays, working on com-
mittees and as officers, and other services. Those who had received the little gold
scroll pins before The Tahoma went to press were: Evelyn Gunderson, Mildred Lar-
son, Margaret A. Nelsen, Margaret E. Nelson, Eugenia Simmons and Alida
Wingard.
The officers were: Morris Summers, president; Margaret Wheeler, vice presi-
dent; Marion Billings, secretary; Collins Worden, treasurer; Margaret E. Nelson,
chairman of play-reading committee; Melvin Larsen, chairman of program com-
mittee; Mildred Larson, chairman of property committee; Clare Hartnett, chairman
of costume committee; Shirley Arthur, chairman of publicity committee; Tom
Wood, chairman of manuscript committee. Evelyn Gunderson was elected secretary
in the spring after Marion Billings left school.

&li/mpic Club
GW ITH the idea of awakening a new interest in track at Stadium and helping
r the aspiring cinder men to train in the right way, a new club was added to
Stadium’s roster this year in the Olympic.
The club was evidently successful in arousing enthusiasm, for soon after the
first meeting in December there were half a dozen or more boys padding around
the track each day.
One of the main features of the club’s outdoor work was the two hare and
hound races held in March. In the first race Al Erickson and Killian Schermerhorn
led the chase, dropping the paper in the gulch behind the Annie Wright Seminary,
where Milt Woodard got it and scampered home first, followed by Bill Fuller. In
the next chase the former winners led the way down the railroad tracks to the
business district with Manuel Torre finishing first and Fred Arntson second.
A number of talks were also given on the club’s programs, emphasizing the
necessity of training, the dangers of overtraining and the value of good form in
running and jumping. Doug Hendel, College of Puget Sound track man, Coach
Seward of C. P. S., Coach Clark of Stadium and several of the Tiger cinder lumin-
aries spoke on various phases of the subject.
For first president of the club Al Erickson, Stadium star miler, was chosen.
The office of vice president fell to Herb Davis, who runs the short dashes. Tom
Fitch, sprint man and hurdler, was elected to the combined office of secretary and
treasurer, while Walt Grohnert, Tiger standby in the weight events, served as
manager. Mr. Clark, track coach, was adviser.

The election giving the voters’ approval was held on March 13, and outside contests
were scheduled almost immediately.
The first was the triangular track meet held in Olympia, with Stadium Aber

first and Olympta thtrd. Four football games for the fall 1928 season were
arranged with Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Chehalis and Vancouver.
With a brilliant midget ream that was never scored against, an intermediate

fight and power, and final y a first team that showed both its strong and weak points

Basket ball was the next sport to fa|| before B
taking every ser.es but one. The varsity and reserve titles went to Sr,tTS
games, but the midget championship went to the Abes d"”" “ ' °“
In soccer Stadium came forward to win the title for the first time in its history
although Lincoln walked away with the reserve honors. Wrestling is the only first-
team championship that Lincoln has won this year so far. Seven of the 11 matches
were won by the Railsplitters, while they also took the reserve grappling title 6 to 5.
Spring sports are well under way, but no championships have been decided
as we go to press. With many veterans back and good material to pick teams
from, some Stadium victories are expected. Baseball is off to a good start with
three games already played. Meets with Lincoln in tennis, golf, swimming and
track have not yet been held, but chances are good for Stadium victories in some
of these. The Penn Relays with Lincoln, held May 11, were won by Lincoln.
Several other changes also mark the 1927-28 sport history. A standard letter
for midget, intermediate and reserve football men was adopted this year, the midgets
having a small "M” on their letter, the intermediates an "I” and the reserves an
"R.” Other athletic awards were changed, too, the golf letter being made smaller
and all second-team letters the same size. A shield with an "S” was given this year
to boxers for the first time, all boys participating in the shows receiving the award.
Aside from the re-introduction of intercity athletics, the biggest change this
year was the starting of the athletic insurance fund. The need of it was especially
apparent in football season when quite a few fractured bones were in evidence.
Under the new system, sponsored by the Student Council, the athletes wishing to be
insured pay a small fee, 50 cents for football and wrestling and 25 cents for the
other sports. A large proportion or all, if possible, of their doctor bills are paid from
the fund.
In the coaching staff a big addition was made when Coach Dave E. Morris came
from Montana to take charge of varsity football, basket ball and baseball.

S/he GVarsity
SEYMOUR DAVISON, End
This was Seymour’s first year and it
was some surprise to see him playing var-
sity. As an end, however, he acquitted
himself in great fashion and showed Lin-
coln that extreme height is not always
necessary to snag passes from the ether.
Seymour is a junior and will be back for
the 1928 season.
ROY DUNNING. Tackle
“Irish” made a strong bid for the first
team in 1926. This year there was no
doubt as to his playing. One of his fav-
orite acts was to break through and nail
his man when the play had hardly started.
Roy is a junior and if he improves as he
did last fall he will greatly increase
chances for a Blue and Gold championship
in 1928.
WALTER GROHNERT, Guard
Walt was an old standby in the line.
Not only was he the heaviest man on the
team but he used it to good advantage in
opening up holes and smashing up the
Lincoln plays as they came to him. Walt
graduates in June and he will be greatly
missed when he leaves.
EMIL JOHANSON, Fullback
The “Swedish Tornado,” coming from
end in 1926 to fullback in 1927. displayed
the finest football of his career so far. He
was one of the biggest ground-gainers of
the team, and time after time the Lincoln
line was forced back by the impact of his
charges. Emil is leaving this year.
HOWARD JOHNSON, End
Howie started out in the second-team
lineup again this year but a good man can-
not be kept down and consequently the
second varsity contest saw him playing like
a veteran. Howie has one more year, which
ought to see him doing some great work
for the Blue and Gold.
JOHN KAPUTOF, Halfback
With his experience on the intermediate
teams of past years behind him Johnny be-
came one of the most valuable backfield
men on the Tiger squad. Playing half
and quarter, he was always to be counted
on to reel off a long gain around end or
off tackle. He graduates this year.
RAY KELLY, Halfback
Kelly was the boy who could bring ap-
plause from the fans by merely warming
up before going into play. As half. Ray
proved to be fast and reliable. Since he is
only a sophomore we can predict a lively
career for him on the gridiron.

GLEN LAWSON, Halfback
played his second year in varsity
this season, and his heady playing
foo,ba, jjjs experience. He played half-
d was captain in the first game
bsck Lincoln. He will be back next year,
"“1 his hard line-plunging and defensive
rk will be a great asset to the team.
WES LEES. Quarterback
Wes is Whit’s brother, and did a fine job
running the Bengals from the quarter-
! position, as he makes a good job of
vthin1’. Wes has also had basket bail
^perience, which enabled him to handle
fhe pigskin as he did. He also is graduat-
ing in J“ne-
WHIT LEES, End
Whit came back to school this year and
started in right by snatching up a wing
position on the varsity. With his basket
hall experience he was a valuable aid when
it came to making yardage by the aerial
route. This is Whit’s last year at Sta-
dium, and more than one team will miss
his playing next season.
MORRIS MYERS, Center
Morry was a hard fighter in every game
Stadium played. As center he was reliable
and hard to get by on the defense, while
in offensive play his accurate passing al-
ways gave the Stadium backs a good send-
off. Morry finished school in January, and
his leaving makes another big hole in next
year’s line.
CHESTER PAGELOW. Tackle
Chet is another man who played the
first game with the reserves but was draft-
ed into ‘he varsity squad. Chet played
tackle and figured largely in the 18-0 vic-
tory with his fine defensive and offensive
playing. He will also be here next year to
strengthen the varsity line.
NED SIMPSON, Guard and Tackle
Ned is the big Englishman who came
from rugby to football with great results.
Playing his second year for the Tiger elev-
en, he was one of the bright lights of the
line. Blocking punts was his specialtv,
while almost anything else was in his field.
He played guard and tackle this year.
FRANK WILLARD. End and Tackle
This was “Swede’s” first year at Sta-
dium and although he ivas green he made
good at the end position. With two more
years left he should become one of the
stars of the team. He is a natural-born
athlete and his coming to Stadium has
bolstered up more than one Tiger squad.

^Jhe ‘’Varsity Reason
G7 HE Tigers did not win their series with Lincoln in 1927, nor did they lose it
for of the three games played one was tied, one was won, and the third was
lost. A fine, fighting team was developed under the new grid mentor, Coach Mor
ris, and it looked for a while like a Stadium victory, but Lincoln showed that they
also had comeback and so the series was tied, although Stadium retained the Mark
Davis Trophy by virtue of its win the season before.
Stadium gave the grid season a good send-off and defeated a light but scrappy
St. Leo’s team 26-7. The Tigers showed plenty of power and ability but played
raggedly at times. The first half ended with the score 7-6 for St. Leo’s, but a re-
juvenated Tiger pack came out for the second half and ran wild, scoring three more
touchdowns.
The varsity series with Lincoln was on when the Railsplitters came down to the
Stadium to hold the Tigers to a 6-6 tie. Both teams seemed unable to maintain
a strong offensive, and fumbles and penalties proved costly. Stadium set out with
a roar and carried the ball deep into Lincoln territory only to lose it on downs
However, the Lincoln man, punting behind his own goal line, fumbled and "Swede”
Willard, Stadium left end, dropped on the ball for the Tiger score. Lawson’s try-
for-point was blocked. A bad pass from center and a fumbled ball enabled Mazza.
Lincoln end, to fall on the ball behind the Stadium line for a touchdown. The try-
for-point was blocked.
The second varsity contest with Lincoln, played on Armistice Day in the south
side bowl, brought no peace of mind or body to the Abes, for Stadium won 18-0.
A muddy field slowed up the game considerably, but the Tigers completely out-
classed their opponents and scored three touchdowns. However, at times the Lin-
coln defensive proved strong, for twice the Tigers were held for downs within the
Lincoln 5-yard line.
Stadium scored first when Emil Johanson carried the ball over the line in the
second quarter, following long gains by Lawson, Kaputof and Johanson that brought
the ball to the 2-yard line. Then in the third quarter after the Abes had taken
possession of the ball on a fumble, Ned Simpson, Tiger guard, broke through and
blocking a Lincoln punt, scooped up the ball and raced 40 yards to a touchdown.
The ball then remained in Lincoln territory until the fourth quarter, when Stadium
took the ball on the Lincoln 2-yard line after recovering a blocked punt. Wes Lees
took the ball over the goal line. None of the tries-for-point were successful.
Lincoln won the third game 14-7. The Tiger team exhibited little of the co-
ordination and strength of the second game, and was outrushed from the start,
showing its real ability in only the fourth quarter.
Lincoln scored first in the second quarter after the ball had see-sawed up and
down the field during the first period. An intercepted pass gave Lincoln the ball in
midfield from where they finally drove over the last white line. Hademan drop-
kicked for the extra point. There was again a lull in the action until the third
quarter, when Ned Simpson blocked a Lincoln punt on the 30-yard line. Johanson
and Kaputof took the ball, Johanson scoring. Lincoln was offside on the try-for-
point and the score stood seven-all.
However, a few minutes later Stadium’s hopes were crushed, as Wasmund,
Lincoln captain, took a punt on his own 25-yard line and raced through the entire
Tiger team for a touchdown. The point was allowed as Stadium was offside.

O longer can the reserves be classed as "scrubs” for they came through in
great fashion to take the 1927 grid title from Lincoln, winning twice and
tying the third game. After the first game there was no doubt as to which team
was superior. The first fracas, however, was an eye-opener.
As the final period of the first game drew to a close the score stood 13-12
for the Abe seconds, but then to the rescue came Kenrick, Tiger half, who managed
to drag down Brown’s 30-yard pass and stumbled over the last white line with but
20 seconds to go. The conversion was made and the game ended 19-13. Stadium
was out-playing the Railsplitters most of the time, with an almost impregnable line
and hard-playing backfield. Lincoln’s scores came as the result of passes, while the
Bengals’ best bets were line plunges by Johanson and Pound.
The Bengal seconds made it two straight, and won the 1927 title by defeating
the Lincoln reserves 6-0 in the second tilt of the season. Stadium played straight,
hard football with the line again opening up big holes for the backs. The power
of the Blue and Gold team can hardly be shown by the score, for they gained 12
first downs to Lincoln’s 1. Stadium’s touchdown came in the second quarter on line
plunges by Havard, following a 30-yard run by Kenrick that started the advance.
Twice again the Tigers came down to within the Abe 5-yard line, once to lose the
ball on a fumble and again to be stopped by the end of the game.
Stadium lost its chance to make a clean sweep of the series by fighting the third
game to a scoreless tie. The game was slow and neither team showed off to any
advantage although the final gun went off as Stadium had possession of the ball
on Lincoln’s 2-yard line. The Tigers completed two passes, Kenrick to Brown,
for an average of 20 yards each and Kenrick intercepted two Lincoln passes, break-
ing up the monotony of a scoreless game, to some extent.

o?ntermediate football
A LTHOUGH they did not win their series this year, the 1927 Stadium inter-
mediates came closer to doing so than has any other Blue and Gold team in
the middle division since they were organized in 1923. With green material and
only one letterman the middlemen broke through the line of defeats that mark in-
termediate football history and won the second game of their series 25-0.
The first game went to the score of 19-0. The Tigers could not find them-
selves and showers of Lincoln passes were the downfall of the team. Only in the
fourth quarter when Eddy, end, recovered a fumble and raced 40 yards to the 2-yard
line did Stadium threaten the Abe goal, but the end of the game cut short the
advance.
In the second game, however, the Stadium squad exhibited real team work and
hard playing to defeat the Lincoln team. In the first period Johnsen plunged over
the line after Gardner had recovered a fumble on the 12-yard line. Johansson
kicked the conversion. In the same quarter Beardsley went over, culminating an
advance by Gardner and Beardsley from the 45- to the 15-yard line. Beardsley again
scored in the second half after Pagni recovered another Lincoln fumble on the Abe
13-yard line. The last score came in the fourth quarter as Johansson crossed the
line following an irresistible march down the field.
Lincoln took the third game, 12-0. The first half was plainly Stadium’s, for
they outclassed their opponents in every phase of the game. Twice the ball was
brought down within scoring distance, but the fates decreed that they should not
score. The second half also pointed toward a scoreless tie, but in the final two min-
utes of the last quarter Lincoln scored on a fake pass and again on an intercepted
pass as Stadium vainly opened a last-minute aerial game.

^Midget ^Football
X/ EVER to have had a score marked against them is the enviable record set
by the 1927 edition of the Stadium midgets. The Babes won their three-
game series with Lincoln 6-0, 13-0, 6-0, thus bringing the Mildred Davis-Harold
Lloyd trophy to Stadium’s halls for the first time.
In the last six minutes of the first game, Earl Balcom was responsible for the
Stadium win by making a 60-yard run for a touchdown, after intercepting a Lincoln
pass. Although the Tigers were a little weak and slow on the offense, their
defense was almost impenetrable and it was only by occasional end runs that Lincoln
was able to gain. Stadium’s best bets were wide end runs by Balcom and Woodard,
with Ghilarducci plunging the line for substantial gains. The final score was 6-0.
The Tiger Babes captured their series by making it two straight over their
rivals, 13-0. The line repeatedly opened up large holes through which the backs
made substantial gains. Only once was the Stadium goal in danger and then
Woodard’s punting saved the Babes’ line from being crossed. Stadium’s scores
came from a 40-yard run by Woodard in the third quarter, and another when
Hudson crossed the line in the second period.
The midgets proved their permanent superiority over their Lincoln opponents
by winning the third game 6-0. A 70-yard run by Woodard through a broken field
won the game for the Tigers in the final period. The game had see-sawed back
and forth up to this point, with the Stadium team using several substitutes, giving
them a chance for a letter. Lincoln threatened Stadium’s goal only once when they
brought the ball to the 10-yard line. Both teams resorted to a great deal of punt-
ing, being unable to gain through the line. Herb Davis, the midget quarterback,
had to leave the game at the beginning of the second half with both collar bones
broken.

^WIPING out their defeat of the year before, the Blue and Gold varsity hoop-
’ ' sters took the necessary three games out of five to win the 1928 title from
their Lincoln opponents. The series was close, with Stadium capturing the first,
third and fifth, which was the deciding game. Each team won on its own floor every
time.
Stadium annexed the opening fracas 17-15 on the Stadium floor. It was the
initial clash between the five-man defense of Coach Thorniley s Railsplitters and the
man-for-man game of Coach Morris’ Tiger hoopsters. John Kaputof cinched the
game in the final seconds of the necessary overtime period with a long shot that
was a fitting climax to one of the best and fastest games ever held in the Stadium
gym- f
The second game was a one-sided contest, with Lincoln winning on its own
floor, 34-19, to even the series. The Blue and Gold team played an erratic game,
while the Railsplitters, led by Tollefson, dropped the ball in from every point
of the floor.
The third game went to the Bengals, with the score 35-30. Stadium took the
lead early in the game with some nice shooting by Kenrick and was not threatened
except in the fourth quarter, when Tollefson of Lincoln started a rally that brought
the Abe score up to 30.
The Lincoln quintet came back in the fourth game to even the series at 2-all,
by winning, 20-15, on their own court. Stadium led at the end of the half, 12-6, but
with a whirlwind comeback and almost impenetrable defense Lincoln walked away
with the game in the second half.
The fifth and deciding tilt was a fitting climax to the hoop season. Stadium
won, but only by the margin of 3 points in the final minutes of play as the score
stood 22-19. The Bengals gained the lead early in the first quarter and held it until
the Abes started their customary second-half rally to tie the count at 19-all. But
then the Tiger defense held while Pound dropped in a basket and foul throw to
cinch the game.
Besides the games with Lincoln, Stadium played two games with the St. Leo’s
team, winning both, and several practice games with city league squads.
One Hundred
Bowler, Willard, Kelly, Hendry.
The Tiger varsity squad was composed mostly of lettermen this year, and
several of the 1928 squad will be back for next year’s hoop team.
Ed Kenrick is one of Stadium s leading performers on the hoop court, for four
years having upheld the Blue and Gold colors against the Abes. He was the high
scorer for the Tigers in the series. His specialty was long shots although every-
thing was in his line.
Wes Lees was Kenrick s running mate most of the time and proved himself
invaluable with his eye always trained for the hoop, and his accurate passing and
good floorwork were a boon to the Tigers.
Orren Gardner, although he is not tall, can surely play basket ball. His special-
ty seemed to be in dribbling through the opposing team and pushing the ball in
from under the basket. However, anything was in his line, and a lot can be ex-
pected of him in filling a forward berth next year.
Orville Pound also played his first year at Stadium on the 1928 varsity. "Orv”
showed a great game at the center position and was the important cog in those tip-
jff plays that ended up with a Tiger basket. He will be back next year to take his
place on the varsity five.
Frank Willard started out with the reserve team at guard but his possibilities
were soon realized and he was brought forward to play center on the first team.
With plenty of height and several seasons yet to play he has a bright outlook on
the Stadium hoop court.
Whit Lees came back to Stadium this year to take his place at guard. Whit
was captain of the team. Although he played guard, he managed several times to
make valuable additions to the Tiger score.
John Kaputof played at Stadium for the last time, this year, filling one of the
guard positions. Nothing need be said of his playing, except to mention that long
shot of his that won the first game and his headwork that saved the final one. He
was a fast and clever dribbler and a great help to the forwards.
Del Bowler was another one of the backs that the Abes found hard to get
by. He played second team in 1927 but the way he took them off the backboard
in some of the practice tilts insured him a place on the varsity five.
Ray Kelly and Gordon Hendry also played on the first team, and although
they did not receive varsity letters, much credit is due for their good playing
when needed.

Y winning the last three games of their series the Tiger reserves retained their
hoop title won last year from the Abes. The seconds were hampered in most
of their games by the loss of men used in the first-team games. Their contests
were not always the most perfectly played because they seldom used the same five-
man play in two games; nevertheless they came through with flying colors.
The Bengal five were off on the wrong foot when they lost the first game,
17-15. It was almost another overtime fracas when Barnhart’s last long shot
bounded out of the basket instead of in. Stadium led at half time but Lincoln’s
ability in foul shooting brought them the game. Borgioli of Stadium was high
scorer of the game with 10 points.
After holding the lead for three quarters the reserves dropped the second game
to Lincoln by the score of 14-10. The teams played football most of the time, with
Stadium leading at half time, 7-4. Lincoln spurted in the second half, however,
to take and keep the lead till the end.
The Bengals started their motion toward a championship when they won the
third game, 24-16, on the Lincoln floor. With a team filled out with several re-
cruits, Stadium took the lead in the second half, after both teams had had trouble
in locating the basket and were erratic in their passes in the first two periods. H.
Johnson led the Tigers in their second-half rally, scoring 11 of their points.
Playing a hard-fought game the Tiger seconds again emerged victorious with a
score of 17-12 in the fourth game. Half time saw the score tied and it was still
anybody’s game till the fourth quarter, when the Stadium defense tightened and
Kelly, Hendry and Davison each dropped in a basket to give the game to the
Bengals.
In the final contest, although the first half ended 9-6 for the Abes, Stadium
came back strong in the next half and won 26-15, with some good guarding by
Davison and Bowler and accurate shooting by Kelly and Hendry that kept on until
stopped by the final whistle.

fidget ^Basket ^Ball
_^7LyiSFORTLJNE seems to dog the steps of the Tiger midget hoopsters for they
again lost their series to the Lincoln babes for the sixth consecutive year, by
dropping the first, second and fourth games of the five contests.
The first game went to Lincoln with the score of 14-9. The Abes took the
lead after the first quarter which they maintained to the end. The Tigers were
held in check too closely by Lincoln s five-man defense and were forced to resort
to long shots which were usually unsuccessful.
The second game went the same way by the score of 23-20. The Bengal
midgets couldn t seem to get started until an unavailing last-minute rally was
started that almost tied the score but the final gun cut short the advance. The
Babes were aided in this game by the return of Balcom at the center position, al-
though inability to hang on to the ball was still their main fault.
Playing their best brand of ball, Stadium came back to win the third game
25-19. The Tigers exhibited excellent teamwork, leading the game from the begin-
ning. Hudson and Brewitt at guard were much in evidence with their accurate
passing and cooperation with the forwards.
The fourth fracas, however, gave Lincoln the series, when they won 27-20. The
Tigers started off strongly and led 14-8 at the half time with some good shooting
by Kerm Heggerness. The second half rolled around and the Blue and Gold team
appeared nervous, missing most of the shots attempted, while Paulik cinched the
game for the Abes with some fine basket-shooting.
In the final game, with the series won, Lincoln sent in a team mostly composed
of substitutes and lost 17-15. Stadium led their opponents every bit of the time
until the fourth quarter when the Abes with a burst of speed tied the score at
15-all as the regular playing period ended. In the overtime period, which was full
of football tactics, the Heggerness twins each sank a foul shot to win the game.
The little fellows also played several games with intermediate school teams
and defeated St. Leo’s midgets twice, 25-23 and 22-19.

Oracle
EING the first Stadium team since 1913 to compete in intercity contests,
the Tiger cinder men finished second in the triangular meet with Olympia
and Aberdeen at Olympia. Aberdeen took first place with 64.2 points, Stadium
scoring 49.7 and Olympia third with 39.1 points.
Stadium was weak in the short dashes, being entirely shut out in the century
event and placing only fourth in 220-yard race.
However, the Bengals captured five firsts—in the pole vault, broad jump, high
hurdles, quarter-mile and mile.
A meet was also held with the College of Puget Sound team, Stadium taking
three firsts in the shotput, pole vault and mile. Tatum, logger star, was high point
man, scoring five first places.
Tom Fitch is the Tiger captain this year and is a sure point winner in the
hurdles, and may also run in the 220-yard relay. Ray Kelly is Tom’s running
partner in the barriers and placed first in the high hurdles at Olympia.
Orv Pound was the find of the year galloping around the 440-yard event in
55 seconds which is fine high school time for that race, while the 100-yard dash
has Woodard, Bowler and Davis.
In the pole vault Balcom and Lawson are going over the bar close to 11
feet, and in the broad jump Ragsdale, Hudson, Price are the contenders. Ball in
the high jump took second place at Olympia and along with Rothermel, Burnard
and McKay, Stadium ought to win points in that event.
In the longer distances is Al Erickson, while in the half-mile Levinson, Sumner
and Young are upholding the honors. Fuller is also a good miler and running mate
for Erickson.
Gillie Richards won the novice track meet with 16 points, taking first in the
high and low hurdles and 50-yard dash and fourth in the broad jump. Nichols
was the nearest contender, garnering 12 points in the 220, 440, 50-yard dash and
100-yard. Grohnert was another high point winner with firsts in the discus
and shotput and a fourth in the mile.

OLF is still quite a minor sport at Stadium but it is rapidly growing in
importance. Since there is no coach for this sport the tournaments were
largely handled by Virgil Cliff and Ray Johnson. A team has been picked from
the winners of the class meets, and will probably play Lincoln sometime in May for
the title which Stadium now holds, having won three of the four matches last year.
Those on the team are: Virgil Cliff, Keith Edwards, Ray Johnson, Roland Tollefson,

LTHOUGH Stadium lost the swimming meet the year before, it came back
in 1927 and won a close contest, 35-31. The crucial event of the meet was
the 400-yard dash, which because of the close score, was the deciding factor of the
Stadium victory.
Two new school records were established by Lincoln men. Pedersen, who low-
ered two records in 1926, set 26.4 seconds as the new mark for the 50-yard dash.
Smith set a new record of 54 feet 10 inches in the plunge. The summary of the
meet is as follows:
Senior relay (50 yards): Won by Stadium (Dashiell, Ghilarducci, Janes, Wood
and Day). Time—2 minutes 28.3 seconds. Midget relay (25 yards): Won by Sta-
dium (Miller, Wright, Johnson and Leuenberger). Time—59.1 seconds. 50-yard
dash: Pedersen (L), Dashiell (S). Time—26.4 seconds. Back stroke: Gardner (S),
Janes (S). Time 39.3 seconds. Breast stroke: Cliff (S). Time—40.2 seconds.
All others disqualified. 100-yard dash: Pedersen (L), Day (S). Time—1 minute

vOCCER at Stadium has been increasing in importance during the last year or
two and this season an over-abundance of aspiring shin-kickers turned out,
making a championship team possible. Stadium took the first two games to win
the championship and lost the third by a close score. This year a better brand of
soccer was played than ever before and with the increased interest taken, the future
will no doubt take care of itself.
In the first game the Abes were clawed and mauled about to a 3-0 score on their
own grounds. The Bengals showed fight and pluck and with the backs and for-
wards cooperating they were able to turn in a surprise on the Southsiders. Wil-
liamson accounted for two of the scores, making his second one in the last 30 seconds
of play. Votaw scored one after a battle in front of the Abe goal.
The Abes again became Tiger meat in the second game by a score of 3-0.
"Ocky” Graham played great guns as goalie and the halfs showed some whirlwind
soccer to keep the ball up to the forwards. Isekite and Peltier surprised Lincoln
by forming an almost impenetrable defense. Although the forward wall was slow
to get under way they soon made up for their slow start.
No doubt because the title was already won and many subs were in play the
Tigers dropped the third game to Lincoln, 2-1. The Blue and Gold squad brought
the ball down to the scoring zone time and again on brilliant plays and scored as
the quarter ended. Their failure to boot straight during the second half accounted
for the fact that no goals were scored.
^econd-^eam ^occer
O/ HOUGH they displayed worlds of fight and power the reserves lost their
series in three close, hard-fought games.
Lincoln took the first game after a hard battle by a 2-1 score. In a close over-
time fracas the Tigers tied the Abes, 1-all. It was a close battle and neither team
obtained advantages for any length of time. Through a lack of team work, Stadium
lost the last game to Lincoln 4-1. The Ione Tiger score came in the last quarter after
a furious battle in front of the Abe uprights.

Girls’ Gy tn Gossip
A FINER group of all-round girls could never be found than the 11 seniors
■^who won their white sweaters this year.
Too bad, girls, that the Stadiana Club was so "financially embarrassed” that
the regular white coat sweaters could not be bought. But then you really should
consider yourselves lucky, for if certain rumors are true, it looks as if you will be
the last class to get any at all.
When it comes to being all-round (not fat), Viv Havel surely takes the cake.
A star in all gym sports as well as in the tank is Viv.
Miss Swim Ming Tank, after a serious illness of many months, is now able to
see her friends again. Gosh, weren’t we glad to get back in the "ol’ drink” again?
And how!
Wonder if lack of water (in the tank) all winter had anything to do with the
large swimming turnout of 90 girls.
Marg Daniels plays baseball just the way she does everything else—such as
running The Tahoma and getting good grades—all with a vim and a bang. As
captain and pitcher of the senior team she was a humdinger. Oh, for more like her.
Queen Anne High must be some hatchery judging by one fish it turned out.
Of course you know June Phipps, star 10B swimmer, entered in September from
there.
Can they play tennis? Yes, they can play tennis. We are now raving about
the underclassmen in the semi-finals of tennis. Gertrude Hunt and Betty Arnold
represented the frosh, while the juniors and seniors each had a representative in
Virginia Phelps and Doris Steele, respectively.
What would we do without our little "Kimona” Esmay, our bright and shining
light who crawls up laddrs and around balcony rails, urging us on to victory?
A feud of the intermediate schools was finished at Stadium this spring when
Marion Gibbs, Jason Lee tennis champ, and Gertrude Hunt, Mason champ, met in
the first round of tennis. Gertrude vanquished "Buster” after a stiff fight.
And so ends another year in girls’ sports. Three cheers for Mrs. Memmer, our
pal. May we all have made bonds of friendship with her and the other girls that
never will be broken.
Extra!—This section of The Tahoma having gone to press after the rest of the
girls’ sports section, we are able to present the results of the tennis tournament.
"Gino” Phelps gained this year’s title by defeating Betty Arnold 6-2, 6-2. She was
presented a silver emblem pin at the girls’ letter assembly, May 23.

^enior Sweater dinners
P OR accomplishing three satisfactory years of after-school athletics, 11 girls were
X awarded white sweaters this year, the largest number to receive the award. A
girl must make four teams a year for three years in order to win this honor, and
must show good sportsmanship at all times.
A scrappy player and an alert baseball catcher—that’s Mary Bacalich. She
just brims over with pep and vitality and is still going when the last whistle blows.
"Dot” Belfoy is a steady and dependable girl-the kind that makes a team a
success. The Stadianas knew what they were doing when they chose her their presi-
dent for spring ’28.
Thelma Gander’s "petiteness” doesn’t prevent her from being a scrappy and
speedy player. She is a fine swimmer and always a good sport—in all, a dandy girl.
Adah Green, the girl with the sweet smile,” is the kind of girl every one likes
and admires—modest and reserved, a fine athlete and a good sport.
Nettie Kohout is our stimulator always keeping up the spirits of the team
with her wise "cracks” and funny antics. "Septie” is a "keen” girl.
Fern McFarland is one of these all-round girls—a fine athlete and popular in
other school affairs. A modest and sweet-natured girl is "Fernie”—and a wonder-
ful friend.
Kathryn Morrison, with her quick, alert mind, is one of the mainstays of the
team. She just has lots of ability to do things and doesn’t stop till they’re done.
"Ginna” Names is our star athlete and the best sport going. She excels in all
gym sports and is also the best swimmer and diver of the Class of ’28.
Betts Robbins is one of the most popular girls in school life as well as in gym
life. Our Girls’ Club president is all that a fine girl should be—a good sport and
always lovable and kind.
We all know and love "Khaki” Stewart for her fine qualities and good sports-
manship. Katherine can swim like a fish and is just a fine all-round girl.
Lou Tribble is known in the gym for her good sportsmanship, grit and
modesty. Loula is fighting just as hard at the last whistle as when the game started.
Many know her as a fine friend and companion.

HE first sport of the season proved just as popular as ever with 165 girls
turning out. The seniors’ experience enabled them to walk off with the
championship, with scores which were piled '’mile high” in their favor. The jun-
iors were next in the winning line, with the lOA’s third, while the inexperience of the
lOB’s caused them to bring up the rear, with no games to their credit.
^Baseball
Q'oming as the biggest surprise of the season was the complete victory of the
lOB’s over the upperclassmen for the 1928 baseball championship. The sen-
iors made no showing whatsoever in the tournament and ended in the cellar without
winning a game. The juniors finished second, putting up a great fight, while the
lOA’s were third, wining one game. Grace Dow, Gertrude Hunt, Grace Weller
and Vesta Camp starred for the victors.

J GAIN the unexpected happened when the juniors won the annual girls’
swimming meet, eclipsing by three points the seniors, who had won the
championship for the last two years. The junior team totaled 28 points, the seniors
25, the lOA’s 22 and the lOB’s 18 points.
The Tacoma school secjprd for the plunge for distance was broken when Anne
Northrup floated 55 feet 6J4 inches, bettering by 4 feet her school record last year
of 51 feet.
y- The back stroke and breast stroke for form were both won by the juniors,
Gladys Schuh swimming the most perfect stroke in the latter. Margaret Johnson’s
and Gladys Alskoog’s perfect back dives won for the lOA’s that event. The front
dive was taken by the juniors. Because of a foul the seniors were disqualified in the
side stroke shuttle relay and this event also went to the lOA’s. Both the crawl
shuttle relay and the plunge for distance went to the seniors.
Exhibition stunts included the candle race, won by Vivian Havel, 10A, and
swan and jack-knife dive, demonstrated by some of Stadium’s best mermaids.

LTHOUGH The Tahoma went to press before the 1928 tennis champion had
been determined, those who had reached the semi-finals without defeat were

GENESIS
1. In the beginning, al! was without Form,
and void, and darkness was upon the face
of the deep.
2. And the Powers found certain students
in an obscure place, and, taking them, made
them froshmores. And they brought them
up out of the wilderness.
3. And the Powers said, Let us make
others, and let them have dominion over
the froshmore, and over every other creep
ing thing that creepeth upon the face of
the earth.
4. So the Powers created seniors, and set
them up for lights in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the froshmores.
And it was good (which is to say, for the
seniors).
5. And it came to pass that both the
seniors and the froshmores were tempted of
Satan for many months, that they might
eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge:
6. And some of the froshmores, being
tempted, did eat of the fruit of the tree of
knowledge.
7. But the seniors, who were warned, did
not eat thereof.
8. And many of them resided in the land
of Nod.
EXODUS
I. Now there were certain ones of the
students who did strange things.
2. For some did strive in a game the
name of which is called Foot Ball. And
they won many victories:
3. And the first team that was among
the teams begat one game, and did tie yet
another one, so that there was no team at
all that begat the championship.
4. And the second team also strove, be-
getting two games, and being full of honor
won the championship.
5. And the midgets, yea, even the midgets,
did likewise, and begat the championship.
6. And it was good.
7. And there were others moreover that
did engage in controversy, and did revile one
another, and did call themselves by the
name of debaters.
8. Now when the debaters came to judg-
ment, they were pleasant in the sight of the
judges, so that the veil was lifted from
them, and their eyes were opened to the
right, and they gave the decisions unto the
debaters.
9. And it was good.
10. And the students busied themselves
in many other kinds of activities, the which
are recorded in this book.

1. And many times were the students
gathered together into assemblies. And men
did come from afar to speak to them at
such times.
2. Now one of these men gave fabulous
accounts of certain men in India.
3. For. said he, he had seen one who
might eat without harm anything that was
given him.
4. Whereat the students marveled, and
some desired with desire to behold this won-
der, that haply they might give him cement
to eat and water to drink.
5. And numerous other events took place,
such as the return of the parents unto the
school.
6. And at this function the teachers at-
tired themselves in fine raiment and put
sweet words into their mouths and received
the parents;
7. And the parents were feasted with roast
pork in the lunch room.
8. Not realizing they were deceived nor
that the lunch room was more wont to
serve hash than roast pork.
9. But so be it.
10. And there were a play, and an opera,
and numerous other things which are too
many to mention.
LAMENTATIONS
1. Now when the time of the passover
was nigh, the teachers did conduct many
tests to the end that they might bring con-
fusion upon the students.
2. And it was so.
3. And they were not content with this,
but they filled out many little blue cards,
covering them with marks.
4. And the students, even though they
knew the teachers of old, did hope mightily
that the teachers might have compassion.
5. But vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
6. For Io! (or low!) the grades brought
sorrow into the hearts of the students with
the lowness of the grades that were upon
them.
7. And, behold, it was the end of the
semester, and with great sorrowing the stu-
dents were forced to have a vacation.
8. And as for ye, ye studies, saith the
prophet, Woe unto ye! Woe! Woe!

How we all love the old folk songs! (And How!)
When you hear them can’t you just see quaintly
costumed old-world figures dancing on the village
green, bowing gravely to each other—or can’t you?
Neither can we.
Well, anyway, here arc
how quaint folk songs can
the request of several clubs (
three samples of just
be. They arc given at
a voice: "Bologna!”)

Think So?
Recently—that is to say—sometime—during the
last—two—years—we (me)—were snooping—around
as—usual—and we noticed—(puff, puff)—that a few
members—of Stadium—Clubs—were not conducting
—themselves—in accordance—with the—traditions—
of the—school—(cough, cough). We—only—(gulp)
—mention—this—because—we—believe—that — these
—individuals—do—not—realize—(puff, puff, puff) —
what—(pant, pant, pant)—they---are-----
Editor’s note: We all knew it was coming sooner
One Hundred and Twenty-four
or later—here it is. Poor old Think So has al-
ways been very short of breath; early this morning
he began to breathe with even more difficulty than
usual. While engaged in thinking today he sudden-
ly became unconscious. The doctors say he may re-
cover. but he will never think again. How sad!
All right, readers, good-by. Call again when you
can stay longer.
School News
After hearing the Glee Club practice, Ida Claire,
senior m Miss Drummond’s room, fell down all the
stairs between 403 and 119. She was out a week.
"Out,” what we mean.
( ____________________
The zOlympic Club was entertained at its last
meeting by Prof. Terrem N, Tou, playing two vio-
lin solos, "Agony in A Flat” and "Variations on a
Theme from English 3.”
(Something else happened at this meeting, but the
reporter had to leave early. Wasn’t that nice?—
Editor.) f
Hiram A. Hall, famous missionary gave a stir-
ring plea for better understanding at a meeting of
the International Club last Thursday. In summar-
izing his speech Mr. Hall said, "You must remem-
ber that you are not the only club. There are many
other clubs which have never heard of you. It
may be hard for you to believe, but members of
the Radio Club, although hard to understand, are
every bit as human as you are, and have the same
joys and sorrows. And we cannot disregard the
Radio Club. They are rapidly awakening, and
some day—” (At this point the reporter got tired
and left. Supply your own conclusion. Addio,
reader; and from now on just call me—Ed.)
The Thing to Do at the Clubs
The correct way to refuse refreshments is to say
simply, "No, thanks, I don’t care for ice cream
bars.”
An invitation to pay a club’s dues should be
worded something like this: "The ------------ Club of
Stadium High School requests the pleasure of col-
lecting your dues at an informal garnishee to be
held on________the-------of-------
The answer is always: " regrets to inform
the Club that he is feeling a bit indis-
posed (or two bits indisposed) and that he will be
unable to accept the club's kind invitation to pay
his dues.”
Always be careful what you say in club discus-
sions, for you will be judged by this. For in-
stance, it woud be a sign of embarrassing ignorance
to assume that "Pippa Passes” is a story of school
life.
(Farewell. Any time you’re in town just give me
a ring—and please don’t bring any more cigar
bands.—Ed.)
