Uhr Ahiru QWitl1 due apologies to Lord Byronj Adieu, thou Hill, where early joy NVas turned to creases o'er my browg W'here Hayden sought each loitering boy VVith knowledge to endow. Adieu, my youthful friends or foes, Partners of former strife and woes. No more in Study Hall I laugh, No more I share the gloomy cell, Whose ever-slumbering inmates dwell Unconscious of the Prof. And shall I here forget the scene Still nearest to my breast? How Citrus good old football team Did make short work of all the rest. Yet, Citrus, all thy victories seem lfVell-earned results and not a dream That Right Divine has our teams blessed. Adieu, thou comrades' of the jovial hour, Ye tenants of the classic tower. To my mind fond mem-ries cling Of all the glorious days that Springg English, French, and History, All were forgotten in our jovialty. But now has my childhood wandered forth From youg and now must prove its worth Vtfhile thru the world I roam. Forget this school, my restless spirit, And turn thy thots to life, There must thou now direct thy flight If life thou wouldst enjoy. But ever anon my mind turns back To the glorious year when Shorty, Gag, and jack Played football, basketball, yes, and track. VVILLARD HALL '19 18

a football team and although on account of the small number of boys, the team was at times filled in with outsiders. Games which were staged with Occidental and Pasadena High. In the same year the first interscholastic Field Day corresponding with our Gala Day was held at Claremont and in 'Ol the Citrus boys won the Field Day meet between Monrovia, Pomona, and Citrus high schools, thus establishing the precedent for our future suc- cess. In connection with athletics it is interesting to note that the school yell adopted by the class of 1895 is the yell heard now on Citrus bleachers: Hip! Hip! Schuler-I! Zip. boom, Citrus High! lNe're the' stuff! ' That's enough! Q Oh yes! C. U. H. S. Aye! VVhen the need of a new school building became apparent, Mr. Charles Lee, then a member of the board, with Mr. Cullen and Mr. Briggs. with the aid of the county superintendent of schools made the purchase of the land, the present site of Citrus, and in 1903 the new building was completed and the class of '03 graduated from the school on the hill. As it became a larger school, various organizations were formed, such as the school orchestra in '06 which in '08 divided into a Junior and Senior Orchestra. In ,OS an associated student body was formed and by a bill of the said body in '09 it was moved that annuals, papers, or magazines printed by Citrus shall be called 'La Palma',v which name is appropriate for a school whose tree is the palm. In the same year double tennis courts were provided and the trees and ornamental shrubbery about the building were planted. A Glee Club was started and practiced Vifednesday nights after school as at present. . In 1913 under the guidance of Mr. Gumniere a very important factor in our inter-scholastical life was organized. namely the U. S. B. A., consist- ing of the eight surrounding high schools,, Covina, Alhambra, Monrovia, Claremont, Bonita. El Monte, Puente and Citrus, and this year La Verne Academy has joined the association. This organization now has charge of Gala Day and does much to promote good feeling among the schools. In this year also, school trucks provided locomotion for the students. As Citrus students increased in number it was necessary to build the first annex and later, in 1915. a second annex was built to provide for a new commercial room and a Junior College room. Citrus J. C. was most success- ful and altho' it ceased last year on account of the war it will open with renewed vigor next year. In conjunction with the intellectual welfare of Citrus we have had for the past three years the Lyceum Course put on by the Seniors to help finance the La Palma. In conclusion let me say that unity has been the watch word of Citrus, and with unity there has been strength and with strength progressiveness. The class of '19 feels that it has contributed largely to the athletic and literary progress of Citrus and we trust that the other classes will follow in our foot steps and keep the standards of the school par excellence as it has always been since it's beginning in 1891.
