Lurking there, she knew,,was a dead- ly snaket Why didn'tJohnny senSe it, too. Sheba. barked and barked, trying to warn Johnny of the great danger, but Johnny paid no heed, thinking onlythat she was barking for the fun of it. Nearer and near Johnny came to the bush. Then suddenly he stum- bled. Quick as a hash'Sheba had lit- erally thrown Johnny on the lawn and lunged at. the snake, Johnny saw a battle royal taking place in the bush, and Was greatly puzzled as to Who was fighting his pal, Sheba. Sheba! yelled Johnny, 'fcome here, Sheba! But Sheba paid no heed. . Soon afterwards Johnny saw her struggling tot arise from the bush. He knew that something was Wrong, and he dashed Wildly to her.'In Shea ba's 'mout-h he recognized a deadly Copperhead. In her eyes he saw victory, for she had 'saved' Johnny and killed an enemy she hated; but She- ba's reward was death! Later, back at the kennels, Mr. La- mont stood with tear stained Veyese- looking at the swollen dead body of Sheba, This dog Who just an hour before had been' full of pomp and vigor, and the queen of the kennels. Now she lay dead! I THE e'PUP LOBO ' ' Now Lobo, Shega's son, was king of the kennels. Mr. Lamont stood re- garding him, a proud light shinning in his eyes. He had great hopes for Lobo. In the hrst place he was the son of Sheba. Shebaehis incompar- able favorite, his huge Irish wolf- hould raeer! Lobo had all her char- Lamont had never told anyone, not even his son Johnny, but, Lobols father was half wild wolf.'He had had is all recorded. Someday Johnny and- everyone would know, but 'first Lobo must prove him- self worthy of his noble mother, She- ba. Lobo Was huge 'for his age. He was fully eight inehes larger than any other dos: in theikennels, and as many inches higher. Johnny looked out of the window of g hisihouse andl glanced at .the moun- tains beyond, In the setting sun they looked majestic. How he had longed to go into those mountains and live there with Lobo. But such a thing would be unheard of in the eyes of his dad. Then he turned to the kennels. There stood Lobo, his silvery fur tak- ing on a reddish golden hue. How beautiful he looked, his nose pointed to the sun, and his feet planted firmly on the grounw Even though he was a pup, Lobo was a tiusted watchdog of the kennels. Johnny was having a good time with Lobo today, The two had thought up a good game. Johnny would run as fast as he could, yelling while'Lobo rOWIed and nipped play- fully. Lobo was a one man dog and had picked Johnny for his master. It was growing dusk 'as Johnny started for the house. He bid Lobo good night and 'ran across the turf towards 'the winodw of his room. He climbed in and had just enouh time to grab an Astromomy book, and look interested in it when hisdad opened the door and anneuced that dinner was ready. Lobo heard a shrill whistle and away he dashed, for he knew that it a was Dempsey, the kennel keeper, and how frightfully hungry Lobo was. As he arrived at the Jkennels Dempsey patted him and then fed him. As the moon rose to the heavens, Lobo, who wag, watching about him, came to a start. Something was wrong, he .felt sure. 'He raised his head. and sniffed. Nothing was Wrong, but he felt uneasy; so he waril'y paced in the s'had0ws of the kennels. He was, waitmgwfor what, he knew not. At the same moment two strange men arrived at the home of Dempsey, ,the kennel keeper. There were a few raps on the door and one, the tall thin man, asked: JtMeester, could you tell me where thees Lamontee kennels are? I look iround plenty, but I lose may way in these beeg woods. . , But, queried Dempse', what tcould :you want at this time of hight? Why, man alive, it's ,most twelve 0,-- clock, but Illl tell you whate-if youlre a friend of Mr, Lamont's you can have free lodging for the night. ttNo, replied Pierrei who was the tall thin man. You see, Pm a very good friend of Meester Lamontee. I 'must1get ther tonight! iGontinued in Next Issuei Sunrise The'iirst birds tWitter- Then the'calm4 Then othte birds waken .

While a chosen cast carries out the action of the story, they will sing the musical portions Drip, drip, drip, drip, The steady song of the rain, Drip, drip, drip, drip, Always the song is the same.

Page 6 Badminten in Girls, Gym . e- 9- An event that is creating quite a lot of interest among the girls of the school was away to a flying start in the girlsfgym, when the first rounds of the Badminton tournament were I played. e To those not familiar with the sport, Badminton is a game which slightlylresembles tennis, and which is played With shuttle-cocks and rac- quets. i . Thirty-seven of the fair sex have signed up for the tournament and ri- valry is at a keen stage, practically all classes andrhomerooms being rep- resented. Carol Henry, Badminton manager, in announcing the tournament said, ttT-he winner of the tournament Will have her name engraved on the Bad- minton plaeque, while the highest in each class, and the first, second, and third highest in the school will re- ceive varsity cards. i fter Schoei Games , io-e The school?s boys are divided into groups according to their age, weight, and height, The largest boys are the AJ' group, the middle weights and heights are thepttB group,'-whi1e the smallest boys are the C'ts. These divisions are further divided into four groups the Lions, Bears, Indians, and Eagles. These divisions play against each other on set dates after school. If a member of a team plays in all the games he gets his school letters and a felt football, basketball, bat and ball, or winged foot to pin on his letter. The team that wins receives an attractive pennant. Every boy who can possibly come out ought to play in these after school games. r' Try Our CASH AND CARRY Plan BLACK AND VVHETE Cieehere tend Dyers E. C.

It is interesting to know that Capt, Hancock is a licensed aerial transport pilot; licensed locomotive engineer, besides being a. most com- petenrit musician. V October 31, 1934 Art in Geemetry Class hh Some very interesting drawings have been turned in by students in Mrs. Sturdevantts geometry class in room 204, illustrating the uses of ge- ometry in architecture and other arts. Rulers and compasses were used for the drawings. Twenty-five drawings were turned in one week by each pupil. The remaining fifteen from each, were turned in a week later. Twenty-five of them are original, but the other fifteen are drawings of diff- erent bits of fancy or interesting are chitecture from around this school. Drawings of the interior of this school, showing the auditorium doors, ceiling and yentilators, were repro- duced. In other drawings of the in- terior were books, stairs, Windows, lamps, and different views of the cor- ridors. There are also pictures of an ex- terior of the junior' high buildings. Drawings of the symbols of the tower, the tiles of the fountain and trees are particularly good, Their imaginations worked .mir- acles and produced fat, thin, happy, sad, short, and tall peeple, buildings, printed letters and monograms, trees, fruit, bugs, fish, dances, designs for table tops, clouds, balloons, life buoyts, anchors, and the wheels of boats, and even a sail boat. There were also' windmills, groups of leaves, winebar- rels, birds, tires, andirons, and fans. The most outstanding group 01 drawings was by Bill Peterson but those by Eddie Muchwitz ran a close second. EXPERT WATCH AND CLOCK REPAIRING C. 0.

Page 8.; LA TORRE October 31, 1934 1 Wow! What a Night! + Friday night October 12, everybody that came to'the P.-T. A. Old Fash- ion School had a grand time dancing the Virginia Reel; watching the babies Cooney and Lohmann sing their duet, suck their suckers, rattle their rat- tles, and blow their noses; schoolboys Baker, Earps, Mendenhall, and Hut- chins were seen dancing with maid- ens, Spellicy, Fischer, and Brown, the belles of the nineties, while the foot- ball heroes, Douthirt and Mumbyl passed the ball. Believe it or not the angels were Miss Robinson and Mfs. Williams; Everybody who was not there miss: ed a. good time. Miss Brewn and her class with the help of Miss Spellicy, Mrs. Kirt, Miss Fischer, Miss Holway, Mrs. Robinson, and many other teachers made the stage sets and had charge of the cos- tumes and dances of the gay nineties. H4..- Girls Go Hiking + The hiking program for this year will be different than last yearls. At the end of the term an overnight hike will be planned, but to go, a girl must have taken at least four hikes of four or more miles each. She must be accompanied by at least six girls from the junior high and an older person. The place for the Overnight bike has not been decided on yet, but suggestions as to where to go on the shorthikes will be posted on the bul- letixi board in the Girls' Gym. Lois Wohlwend is hiking manager this term. r ' i i w SPORTING GOODS Gym Suits Supporters i Tennis Balls and Rackets Feet Balls Feet Ball Shoes Live Hardware Co. 1511 Mission St, South Pasadena Hallway Echoes + Dorothy James went to Santa Bar- bara for the week end. She toured Hope Ranch and the surrounding vicinity and reports having had a very enjoyable time. v Priscilla Roth went to the Pasa- dena Community Playhousa to see By Candlelight featuring Hon Archie of radio fame, She reports enjoying it' immensely. Can it be a. dream or is it the ab- solute truth that those gay nineties entertainers were really our dignified teachers? With some it was conceiv- able but Mr. HutchinseThe student body was really quite shocked. Miss Holway emerging from the auditor- ium with all that makeup started a riot never to be forgotten. Seymour Hayes is building a sail- boat. He, Jack Veltman, and Pete Guillance are planning to go down the Pacific Coast next summer. Who was that handsome brute that accompanied Carol Phillips to the show October 12? Some people seemed to think he was Tarzan but we know better. Robson Eberle, Bill Mason, and Ed- gar Worth visited Glenn Ranch over the week end. The animal instincts of the junior high pupils are aroused when a cer- tain someone We all know wheels 2. big, heavy milkniekel wagon aroumi second lunch period. The desperadoes charge at the ringing of the tardy- bell and take turns jumping and rid: ing on the front end. The robbers clamor for booty but our hero, regard- less of his fatigue, sticks to his post as a. real hero should. Junior high certainly appreciates his faithfulness. Miss Robinson most decidely dis- approves of the change of offices made by Mr. Baker, She thinks that lonely upstairs office should be the princi- pal's and proceeds to tell everyone She meets, hoping, we guess, that Mr. Baker will change his mind. What isrthis rumor of a Halloween party? Somewhere along the hall one of our reporters overheard two pop- ular socialites discussing one. It seems it was to be masquerade. But who is the unknown hostess? The Junior High tower got the first bath for many a month with the rain October 17. Hannah Eckels 'hOpes it will rein again; she won five cents on that rain. 4 Anne Page Spent part of. her sum- mer playing cowgirl on her grand- motheris ranch, up north. ' The rain seemed to affect some of the pupilis mental machinery. They let their ingenious originality run its course, the consequences being that r ' w THE STYLE CENTER of the SAN GABRIEL VALLEY Complete Clothiers for Boys and Men Official Boy Scout Trading Post Come in and see our goods Pitzer and Warwick 321 E.

W Halloween Warning H-F- Halloween is here at last, Don your costume and your mask, Sally forth in jubilant glee, For a long-to-be-remembered spree. But when the Witches howl around, And goblins groan with fearful sound, And try to fill your heart with dread, You'll be safest, home in bed! eBeatrice Pearson 9B-103 Rey Kendall appeared in a straw hat which he considered decidedly out of season and somebody came in a hel- met causing quite aiconfusion. Oh! Well, we have rain only once a year. There. have been faint but indis- pensable rumors of what some people intend to do on Halloween. If they have any intentions of carrying out these threats we advise all South Pas- adenans to put away all breakable and movable objects,
