We hope to have a picnic or some other social event belore the year is over, however. ln December we elected delegates to go to the annual convention of the Federation, which was held in Santa Barbara this year. The following people were sent as our delegates to the convention: Mildred Daniels, Ida lsom, Howard Marsh, Robert Hibbits, and Mr. Sims. From quite a large membership, the following officers were elected for the year: President - - Mildred Daniels. Secretary-Treasurer ---- Robert Hibbits SPEAKERS Very uplifting to us, and helpful in making this school better and more interesting, have been the addresses given by the fine speakers we have had this year. Mr. Ralph, minister of the Methodist Church, was the first one to speak to us. He came on November 25th and spoke to us on the true spirit of Thanksgiving Day. A week before Armistice Day, Mr. Younce and Mr. Weldon, both of the American Legion, talked to us, telling us of their plans for making the celebration of the day a success and asking our cooperation. They gave us a much better idea of how much Armistice Day means to the American Legion. At our Christmas Party we enjoy-ed listening to Mr. Bennetts, of the Presbyterian Church, who told us his idea of The Highest Successf On March 3l, Mr. Tennant, of the California Polytechnic School of San Luis Obispo, gave us an interesting talk and showed us motion pictures of the school, illustrating the work that is being done there and the opportunities offered for students interested in that line of work. Dr. Jones came on April 2, and told the boys of the opportunities avail- able for them in the Citizens' Military Training Camps this summer. He advised all that could to go.

MUSIC DEPAR'I'lVI1CN'l' The Music Department, under lVIiss Little's dfrection, has done worlc of quite general nature this year, since music has been made a required subject. The various classes have had worlc in music appreciation, sight slnging, and in the rudiments of music. The Senior Girls and the Eighth Grade Glee Club have done very splendfd work. In the fall the boys gave a jolly minstrel show. This was a very clever production, one that was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. if X . 1 .,,,,.

The meetings are held during school hours, bi-monthly. After the regular business meeting, we usually have some sort of a program. So far this year, we have had several speakers, motion pictures, a play given by our Faculty, a very clever program given by the Freshmen, and a Spanish play, by the Sophomores. As this book goes to press, rumors of programs to be presented by the other classes are in the air. November Ilth our float won first prize of twenty-five dollars C5251 in the big parade. We also had booths uptown and down at the park where we sold food. On December l2th we had our second annual Christmas Party and a white gift booth for charity. After a short program, we danced for a few minutes. The Seniors furnished the entertainment, the Juniors, the tree, the Sophomores had charge of the White Gift Booth. We were represented this year at the Scholarship Convention, held in Santa Barbara in December, by several delegates, and we also sent a team of typists to the typing convention at Los Angeles. We, the Student Body, have put out this, the fourth annual, entirely without any outside financial aid. This has been possible because everyone has worked so faithfully. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department has had a very successful year. The girls have shown great interest and enthusiasm for their work. The Household Science Department entertained on several occasions and were complimented highly on their efficiency. In january they gave a luncheon for the Rotary Club, and in April a dinner for the Trustees, their success being due partly to the new silver and table linen so recently acquired. The Household Art Department gave an exhibit at the close of the year, showing the garments that had been made throughout the 'school year. The Household Science Department assisted by serving punch and wafers. I 'H' S K aff' 'f .fx .gg-' ,ki X, LUNIPOC' UNION IISI IIIIIII SUIIUOI, - - , 1 -L 1 B .,-A b., . :-, I , V 1-' .'

As Freshmen we Iicked the Seniors. As Sophomores we ducked the Freshmen and suppressed the rest of the upper classmen. As Juniors we are sure we equaI even the Seniors. This year the Juniors have been prominent in every activity in the school. The Scholarship Society is being fairly represented by the juniors each report period. On the High School Debate team are four juniors. IVIany Juniors hold high offices in the Hi-Y and GirIs' League, the two best organizations of the schooI. This year the Juniors continue to shine in athletics. Four captains have been chosen from the cIass of '27. There were three letter men on the footbaII team from the junior cIass and three on the basIcetbaII team. We had eight men on the track team, and because of their good work the 27's carried off the honors in the Inter-Class Track Meet. In the cross-country run they won the Record-Review Cup. In baseball there are seven juniors out for reguIar practice at the present time. They are hoping to win again the Lenfest BasebaII Trophy, which the cIass of '27 captured Iast year.

At this meeting our officers were elected. A reception was given in honor of the new-comers in our school com- monly known as the Freshmen. The first part of the evening the chief guests were initiated. The rest of the time was spent in playing games and dancing. The visitors were served with lemonade, ice cream, and cake, after which they unwillingly departed. The second event of class interest was a one-act comedy entitled, The Teeth of the Gift Horse, which was presented at the time of the minstrel show. The cast of the play included Grace Hooker, ldell Olson, Ruth Hooker, Boyd Canfield, Edna Davidson and Alice DeFrees. At the time of the County Fair, our people filled their part of the program by singing a numlber of Spanish songs. Those in the chorus wore Spanish costumes and made a very picturesque group on the stage. Those taking part were: Grace Hooker, Howard Marsh, Mayville Kelliher, Helen Ruffner, Dean Martin, Alice Defrees, Louise Morehart, Ernest Brooks, Jocelyn Lowry, Dorothy George and Virginia Truax. The pianist was Ruth Harris. The athletes of our class are: Boyd Canfield, 220 yard dash, l00 yard dash, Ernest Brooks, high jump: Harvey Olinger, broad jump, 220 yard low hurdles, pole vault, and Mayville Kelliher, pole vault and 220 yard low hurdles. Not only did the boys participate in such stunts, but the girls made quite a name for themselves in basket ball. The captain is Ruth Hooker, and in the team are: Virginia Truax, Dorothy Harris, lda lsom, Edna Davidson, Audrey Jennings, with Dorothy George and Mary Vance as substitutes.

There were some- thing like forty-eight Freshmen, some from the country and some from Junior Hfgh. We had the satisfaction of being in High School, even though we were only Freshmen. The Freshman reception was on our minds at all times. We hoped it would come and go so we could forget it, but still we feared it. But when it finally came, it wasn't so bad after all. r After the reception was over we had to plan for a return party. This was given in October. After the return party was over we were ready to settle down to work with nothing to bother us. ln April we entertained the Student Body, giving a four-act scene en- titled 'Ufhe Three Bears, a one-act play called The Stupid Lover and two piano solos. The Freshman class this year has several promising athletes. In basket ball, Sam Nlorehart, Clifford Gilkerson, Stanley Howerton, Lawrence Schuyler and Donovan Main were prominent men. Clifford Gilkerson and Lawrence Schuyler made letters in football' Clifford, Sam and Lawrence are going out for base ball. Donovan was the only track man that we had. We have done well in sports so far, and we hope to do better in the years to come. s :za gi 'is E A J X ll XX LOMPOC' UNION i231 HIGH SCHOOL III CLASS OF '29 OFFICERS: DONOVAN MAIN ,....,,...,,,............ ........,,,, , , ,...I,, ..,,....,.....

Each year the State League holds conventions to which we send two delegates. At the first semester convention Georgia Starr, president and Emilie Glidden, elected delegate, represented us. This semester, Anita Slcaarup, president, and Virginia Truax were our delegates. In the fall, Santa Maria gave a High Jinx for the three schools Santa Maria, Santa Ynez and Lompoc. Quite a few of our girls went over and enjoyed the program and dancing. The decorated automobile of the League took first place in the parade Armistice Day. Another social event was the Mothers' Tea, a dainty affair that was greatly enjoyed by the guests.

Sims as our advisor. It was through his efforts that our club has been as successful as it is. The annual Indoor Track lVleet was held in the early part of the school year. All the boys of the High School, and several of the men of the faculty attended, and every one present had a very good time. This event aroused the interest of the school, and we soon had several new members to make up for those who graduated last year. The club meets every Tuesday at noon. After the regular business of the club is finished, it has been the custom of one of the members to give a talk, or lVlr. Sims has read something of interest and help to us. Next year we hope to have a bigger and better Hi Y, for we intend to keep growing all the time.

Looking over the pages of our book you find the record of the things we have been interested ing our work in athletics, our parties and dances, our plays and our fairs. Reviewing the different achievements, we find the biggest factor in our success in these undertakings has been the spirit of cooperation prevailing throughout the whole school. It has been the spirit of willingness to work together that has made it possible for the staff to complete the tasks of getting our annual ready for publication. For this same attitude of loyal support that the Student Body has given us, we, the staff of 1926 La Purisimaf' wish to ex r ' p ess our appreciation. -THE EDITOR.

In the afternoon the Juniors and Seniors were royally entertained at a big barbecue with all the trimmings , at Nliguelito Park. , At about eight o'clock all met, with many other friends, in the High School Auditorium. This was decorated so beautifully in pastel shades of crepe paper and with wonderful flowers, that the building was scarcely re- cognizable. Younce's Serenaders, who furnished the music, were found amid festoons of crepe paper and ferns, and at one end of the hall, under a huge colored parasol, the girls served delicious punch. During the intermissions, we were entertained by several very clever dancers, who gave us all attractive confetti shakers as favors. The beautiful dresses of the girls blended in, thus forming one of the most beautiful sights one may ever see. h I III'ISI'IlVIAN IIECEIYIIIUN AND 'IIIIE SUI'IdUiVIURE RI'I'I'IiIIN PARTY At the first of the year the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a reception party. There was much excitement about the grounds, weeks before the party, for it was rumored of weird things that were to happen to the Freshies. Boyd Canfield, the President of the Sophomores, gave a welcome speech which contained some startling advice to us. A response was given by Donovan Main, Freshman Class President. When initiated by the Sophomores, each awe-struck Freshie had to ascend the platform and perform a stunt, dictated by the Sophomores. After the stunts, there was dancing, and later some refreshments. As the party broke up, all congratuated the Sophomores on the most successful party. Later in the year, the Freshies proved what they are capable of doing by giving the Sophomores a Return Party, as is customary in this school. The evening was an enjoyable one, spent in dancing, playing games, and listening to a few speeches by various members of the classes. After delicious refresh- ments were served, the Freshies had truly made a name for themselves in Lompoc High. DANCES So far, this year. we have had three dances, which a large portion of our students have attended. - The first dance was held on October 24th, after the Santa Maria foot- ball game. We were quite pleased to have some of the Santa Maria students as our guests. The second dance came much later-not until February l9th. One of the main features of this was a Paul Jones, called by Mr. Main. The last dance, given March l2th, was celebrated as a Kids' Dance. Some of the fair damselsn looked strangely like certain football heroes. The music for all three dances was furnished by what is now the Celite Orchestra. Congratulations to the Dance Committee. We are all looking forward to the next dance, which we expect will be on lVlay l5th. IAUMPOC' UNION IQSIJ HIGH SUIIOUL 22!'II'l!'Ii gill' 220114 Neg ' ' I S lllll fl .. .

'At wath a good ole wabbit, Uncle Mike, said the boy settling himself on the low bench, propping his chin in his hands, as he 'waited contentedly for Uncle Mike to begin. Uncle Mike drew the sack of seed potatoes closer to him, took off his hat, put it back on at a different angle. looked out the shed door to see if any one was around, and began his old story. Well, wonce me an' me frind, Pat-H You thaid 'oneth upon a time before, Uncle Mike, interrupted Sonnie. 'I told ye that one on Sunday, it wuz, now it's a Friday I'm tellin' it, informed Mike.

So, resumed Mike, quickly, as Sonnie's mouth opened and Mike saw numerous questions forth comingg so, I wint out to hunt, while Pat, me frind, had to keep riddy the fire and fryin' pan f'r the foine game I'd be bringing in. Well, afther walkin' f'r an hour, it wuz, I spies me one rabbit, a cottontail, but not before th' little baste saw me. That rabbit, he gazes at me riverintly, thinkin' iv its own pricious hide, did some iv th' Charleston steps and th' Louiseville hop, kicked up his heels in me face, he d'd, and stharted to rin round that hill, an' me goin' afther him.

C'by, he called after the little boy, then set to work contentedly to himself. -ETHEL HORN '26 THE BLUE RIBBON BABY There hasn't been so much excitement in Big Bear since grandma was a girl, said Mrs. Brown to me, as I was grinding a pound of coffee for her, the night before the Annual Baby Show. I guess every mother in the town, and for miles around, is going to put her baby in the contest. Mrs. Brown pulled the ball of twine that was on the counter over onto the floor in her excitement. It surely is going to be a great occasion, I agreed, dropping thie coffee bag, and laughing in my excitement. There are a lot of little rosy, chunky, sweet, and pretty babies in Big Bear. Every mother I've talked to is sure her child will get the blue ribbon, no matter if he is a wee bit bow-legged or fat. ' We both laughed and then she continued, ordering a dozen eggs between breaths, I was over to Jennie Webster's place last night, and as I was leaving she said to me, 'Mrs Brown, just look at that darling baby of mine. I'm' sure he'll take the blue ribbon, he is such a dear.' I knew what she wanted me to say, but just couldn't help laughing to myself. I suppose because the baby's daddy is the sheriff, and it is the only child, they think it has more of a chance than some of the others: but according to my notion, it has too many freckles. She was real excited, and as I went down the front walk she called after me, 'As you haven't any children of your own, Mrs. Brown, it looks like you would at least be able to tell me which baby you think has a chance for that ribbon.' I hurried on without answering her question.-Give me a loaf of bread with the rest of the things, Margy, please.-Well, as I was saying, LOMPOC UNION i321 HIGH SCHOOL I surely was glad I was leaving there. How do you suppose I could have told her which one had even a chance? Why, if I had even mentioned a name, the different mothers in Big Bear would all have been ready to scratch my eyes out, if it didn't turn out that the one I chose was hers, said Mrs. Brown with a look of amusement. She was silent a minute and then she said, just the same, I think they are all little darlings. Now then, she rambled on, there's Mrs. Anna Billie's baby, he's real fat and has a little pug nose, which, in my opinion makes him cute even if it isn't considered a good mark in prize babies-AOh, yes! Margy, give me a box of crackers. Jim always has to have crackers with his soup. just then the store door clicked, Well, !'l! declare! Look who's here! If it isn't Mandy from down the river with her wolly headed little pickaninnyf' I hurried to the other counter to see what Mandy wanted, and as I got her some tobacco for Old Joe, she said to me, Miss Mahgy, I done be sho' mah baby'll win dat dyar blue ribbon even if he clone be sohta in de dark. I gwine haf to hurry home and git dat dyar wash out foh mawnin'. Coobye Mahgy, I kin jes' see mah pickaninny with dat blue ribbon now, she chuckled. As I came back to where Mrs. Brown was, she went right on as if she hadn't stopped, There are the twins from Pine Bluff, that look as much alike as two peas, and Jane O'Molly's baby, with the dark curly hair and blue eyes, that shows the Irish in it as plain as day. Don't you think it is just too sweet for anything, Margy? Then without waiting for me to answer, Well, I must hurry home. It's five o'clQck already, and jim will think something terrible has happened if I don't get home and have his supper ready. I guess I have everything now, haven't I? We'll have plenty of babies in our show, anyway, I called after her, but if I were you I wouldn't say anything about any of them. I'd just wait and see how things turn out tomorrow afternoon. As I closed the store that evening and started home, I just wondered to myself just what would happen next dayg and the more I thought about it, the longer it seemed I'd have to wait. In the morning, on the day of the great occasion, I hurried around and cleaned off the counter, where they were to set the babies, and I certainly dusted and scrubbed them good. The judge was to walk down along the counter and pick out the baby that he decided to give the blue ribbon to. Margy! called Al jenkins, the storekeeper, polish that counter till it shinesg if you don't. some of those mothers will make me shine instead. We don't want a speck of dirt to get on those precious babies. At two o'clock everyone was terribly excited. I am sure I was just as flustrated as if I'd have had a baby of my own in the contest. just a few minutes before everyone arrived, Jim Webster, the sheriff. who was to be the Judge, poked his, head in the door. His hat was on one side of his head, and his face very red. He called to me from the door of LOMPOC UNION E331 HIGH SCHOOL the store, lVlargy, look hereg we'll have to get some one else for Judge, because if I'm judge my baby, Jimmy, wouldn't have a chance for that blue ribbon: because I couldn't give my own jimmy the prize now, could I? What was to be done? I tried to think of some one else who might be a good judge. ' jim scratched his head and remained silent for quite awhile, while I arranged some decorations back of the counter. Finally the sheriff began naming over some of the different people he could think of. There's Tom Moore, from down by the cross roadsg but he's an old bachelor, and doesn't know anything about babiesg or there's Linda lVlcDuff, but she's an old maid and wouldn't do any better'n Tom, so I don't know what we'll do or who we'll get. Just then I happened to look out the window, and there in front of the post office was a man in an old Ford touring car, with the top down and a camping outfit on the side of the car. He was evidently the man who had been camping down the road a mile or two, from what I'd' heard from a ,man traveling through in the morning, who had stopped at the store for some supplies. 1 Jim, I said, there is a man we can get for Judge, perhaps. He won't know anyoneg that will make him all the better for the position. jim went out to the front of the store, and soon I heard him call, Say, Stranger, would you help us out a bit this afternoon? The Stranger came over to where Jim was and said slowly, Just what do you want me to do? ,lim explained the situation slowly, so that he could make it plain to the stranger. The man at first wasn't willing to take the job, but finally Jim said, I'll tell you, Strangerg I'll give you five dollars to take this job off my hands. How about it, will you take it or not? The man looked at Jim for a little bit and then said, All right, but I'll' have to let my wife know, and get cleaned up a bit. He hurried off, and Jim called after him, Be back as soon as you can, Mister. There isn,t much time to lose. You should have been in Big Bear a few minutes later! I don't be- lieve that store had seen such a crowd since the Gold Rush in '49. I stood at the back of the store with Al jenkins, and we discussed and criticized each baby as it was lined up in its place on the counter. Look at the twins, said Al. They both have all-day-suckers. I'll bet they keep their folks awake all night tonight. And look at lVlandy's pickaninny with its black curly hair all tied with little red ribbons. Isn't that just too cute for anything? Oh look! The O'lVlolly baby has a green dress on so we'll be sure and remember it's Irish. I The funniest thing of all to me was the sign above the counter where the babies were sitting: it read: LOMPOC UNION l341 HIGH SCHOOL Sale! Everything going fast! Take your pick and avoid the rush! I had forgotten to take it down, but it was too late now. Of course nearly all of the babies were afraid of the judge. The twins were about the only ones that didn't cry, and that was because they had all-day-suckers to keep them happy. The judge didn't seem to mind his new job. I'Ie went to work right away examining the ones at his end of the counter. When he was nearly half way along the line in his difficult task, the door opened and a little girl came in, carrying a baby. She made her way to the end of the line and said, Would you mind moving over a little so I can put my baby in the contest too ? Mrs. 0'lVIolly turned around and slowly moved over a little bit, but she did not like to. As she moved she said, not any too pleasantly, either, If you wanted to put your baby in the contest, you might have tried to get here an hour earlier, like I did. I noticed that when the little girl first came in with the baby the judge seemed sort of surprisedg but only for a minute, and then he went on with his task. I wonder whose baby that is? I said to Al jenkins. It is so pretty and cute and isn't afraid of anyone. I really believe it's the best looking one. See how it laughs and coo's all the time at the Judge. The little girl stood the baby up and it toddled down the counter a few steps toward the Judge and said, Da Da, and held out its arms toward him. The judge looked at the baby quickly, and then he cried quite excited, Give three cheers! Here's our blue ribbon baby, sure enough. The blue ribbon was awarded by both the Judge and the Sheriff, and then it was pinned on the front of the baby's dress. Then every mother hurried home as if she wasn't quite satisfied, but nobody said anything. Soon afterwards we closed the store, and Al and I walked along toward home. After we had walked a ways, Al said, Wasn't that the prettiest little baby, though? And to think after all the arguing, and the fuss, no- body in Big Bear got the prize at all, but some little shaver we never saw before. It was just as we were about to' turn down the lane that we saw some people making a camp, under some trees near, for the night, and there was our prize baby with the big blue ribbon pinned on the front of it. Soon we heard some voices and then a lot of laughter. Daddy, one said, that surely was a joke on them. just think, our baby's daddy gave it the prize! Then a man's voice said, It surely was, Peggy. But you know our baby was the best, and that's why we awarded her the prize. Al and I were so surprised neither of us said anything for a minute, and then Al laughed hard under his breath and said, Great guns! What if the people in Big Bear knew that? GWENDOLYN MQCABE, '2 7. LOMPOC UNION I351 HIGH SCHOOL A PAGE FROM MY JUNGLE BOOK Dad and the other members of his African party were being banqueted at the Grand Hotel. I was there too. We sure had keen things to eat: aspar- agus tips, fried chfcken, string beans, mashed potatoes with lots of creamy gravy, and pumpkin pie, with oodles of whipped cream on it. Oh Boy! That was some feed. just as I was getting ready to dive into that pie, a bell hop came in and cried out. Call for Professor Parker! Dad went out and on returning announced, We must leave immediately for the dock, as the Tarentum leaves in a few minutes. Sailing time has lteen changed. And then to me, Come, son. I said, Aw gee, Dad! Can't I even finish my pie? I should say not, young man. Come now, or we'Il miss the boat, he said sharply. So up I had to get, leaving that delicious pie behind me, and rush for the dock with Dad forever callfng Hurry, Thomas: hurry, or we'll miss the boat. As we reached the dock and were about to go aboard, I stopped to buy a paper, and I set mv suitcase down to get the money. After paying the paper boy, I was rushing for the boat when all at once I realized I had left my suit- case. For the love of Pete! I exclaimed, and started back after it. For heaven's sake, boy, where are you going? called Dad after me. I had no time to answer but 'ran on, returning just in timeg for as I reached the gang plank. they started pulling it upg so I had to jump about three feet to reach the boat, and I went sprawling all over the deck. Cee! I exclaimed, that was sure a narrow escape. We had an awfully long trip across. We ran into one terrible storm: the waves sure pitched the boat about. We'd go up over one, and then it would look as if we'd sail right down to the bottom as we came down the' other side of the waves, they were so big. I was in bed most of that trip, sick enough to die. One clay I wanted a drink, and I kept calling for the steward to bring me some water. He came into my state-room and said, We have no water. We have been on this trip fifteen days, and we only carry water for ten. See? just then Dad came rushing in, Get up there, son! The boat has landed, and we must get off immediately. But I have no clothes on, I protested. Well, slip on your overcoat and throw your things into your bag and hurry: you can dress on the dock. So out I rolled. throwing my shirts, collars, and so forth into my suit- case. leaving tag-ends of neckties and everything sticking out, and trvin? to get into m.v overcoat at the same time. First I put it on wrong side out and then hind side before. I thought I never would get the darned thing on and get off that boat, and Dad kept yelling, Hustle there, son, we have no time to loseg hurry up! So, pushing and pulling at me, he at last got me on to the dock. Then we took a crazy looking old train, much too small to hold the whole party: LOMPOC UNION i361 HIGH SCHOOL some had to climb into the cab with the woolly-headed darkies, and some climbed on topg and then off we started for Danger. That little old hack could hardly pull, and once we had to get off and walk up a hill. Well, finally we got to Danger, O. K., and from there we made the rest of our journey to camp by camels. I sure had a mean oneg this camel must have had three humps, for it seemed to me I sat on something like a hump the whole of the journey, and every time the old dumb-bell took a step I nearly fell off. We reached the camp which had been prepared for us, and which was made up of about twelve sleeping tents. Dad and I shared one together, while the others had six cots in them. Besides the sleeping tent, there was a wooden building which was a mess hall. After taking care of my suit case and my kodak, baseball bat, and tennis racket, which I put under my bed, I decided to stroll about camp. I wandered about for awhile, and then noticed that it was growing dark, so I turned around and started back for camp. But I didn't know which way to go: each path led me no where. I kept looking and walking about Netting more lost every minute. I walked and walkedg it seemed days. Just as dawn was breaking. I came around a corner of a woods and in front of me, a quarter of a mile distant, I saw camp. I had begun to think I'd never see a living person again. I was cold and hungry, my clothes were torn, and my legs and arms were bleeding where they had been torn by bushes. I was so tired, I felt as if my legs would drop off. I tried to run, I was so glad to see camp and so eager to reach it: but my legs could barely move. I didn't seem to make any progress at all, my feet seemed to stay in one spot. Then, suddenly, from out behind a bush jumped a tiger, throwing me on my back down on the hard, cold ground. I trfied to call for helpg I couIdn't breathe a sound. Again and again I tried, but my voice seemed lost. I now realized there was nothing left for me to do but fight for my life, for I sure had no desire to die at the hands of this horrible beast. I struggledg but it seemed as if I could hardly move, I was so dead tired from walking all night. But luck was with me, for I had caught hold of the tiger's throat, and I felt his soft furry neck closing between my fingers. I squeezed with all my might and the tiger seemed to be losing the fight under my tight grasp. just then I heard Dad. and I knew that help had come. I'Ie was calling, Thomas Archibald! Thomas! I tried to answer but I couldn'tg no words would come, my throat had a lump in it. Again he called, Thomas Archibald, for pity's sake, what are you doing down there? Get up this minute! I opened my eyes. There I was, lying on my bedroom floor where I had been thrown by the tiger, and tightly between my fingers I was holding a pillow. -JENNIE KELLIHER, '2 7.

This is the first time this club has ever undertaken anything so large and hard to do. We discovered that we have some very talented boys in our school. On the same evening the Sophomores gave a play, The Teeth of the Gift Horse. This was very well given under the direction of Miss IVlcGinty, their Class Advisor, and was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. COUNTY FAIR The Seniors promoted a County Fair to help finance the annual this year. This fair was given before a large audfence on the evening of January I5 in the auditorium. We had perhaps the most varied program ever given in this school: aesthetic dancing by the Senior Girlsfa burlesque production of Romeo and Juliet -a village choir-a fountain of youth, by the Freshmen-Spanish songs by the Sophomores-scenes from the Student Prince, by the Junior- oraie, who sang very well despite the handicap of such a name-clowns and very unique side shows. Both financially and as an entertainment, it was in every way as successful as the Circus given last year. This was enjoyed perhaps more than any other entertainment given this year. The success of the Fair was due largely to the splendid cooperation of all classes, each arranging a certain part of the program, making a varied and pleasing ensemble. The success was clue, also, to the invaluable and untiring work of the various class teachers, especially that of Miss Singer, who origin- ated the idea of the Fair and succeeded in making everyone connected with it as enthusiastic as herself.

To save themselves, jones puts on the clothes intended for the Bishop of Ballarat. While masquerading as the Bishop, he has many narrow escapes. When the Bishop arrives, he is sent to his room. Richard, who acts as valet, takes the Bishop's clothes and hides them in the piano. Then the Bishop meets the lunatic who thinks he is an Indian. After an exciting scene, he escapes to his room. There he finds jones' suit of clothes and he puts them on. The police catch the Bishop wearing the clothes and arrest him, thinking that he was the one who attended the fight. The profefsor assures the policeman that the man he has arrested is the Bishop. thus getting jones into trouble. But jones, with the help of Richard and Mr. Goodly, cleverly puts himself right with the Goodly family.

LOMPOU UNION l421 HIGH SCHOOL HEAVY-WEIGHT BASKET BALL TEAM BOYS' BASKET BALL The High School basket ball teams finished a very successful season, although neither team was able to duplicate the feat of last year and win a county championship. At an early meeting Ray Stater was chosen captain of the heavyweights and proved an able leader. Similar honor was given Bob Main by the lightweights. Both captains played running guard, and were fast, shifty floor workers, and maintained an impenetrable defense as well. Bert Howerton at center and Captain Stater at guard were chosen by the HS. B. Press on the county all-star team, which shows what the out-of-town folks thought of their ability. However, there were no individual stars on either team. The combination of Smith and Stater, guards, Howerton center, and Stewart and Dutra forwards formed a smooth working unit. with each man a valuable cog in the wheel. The team next year will feel the loss of each of the four first team seniors, as well as of Percy Nlain, substitute, who proved to be a steady and reliable relief guard. Substitutes Alcott and Morehart could always be counted on when needed. The lightweight team will lose no men by graduation, but the weight limit will advance some into the heavyweight class. However, they will have the benefit of at least a year's experience when the grind starts next season. LOMPOC UNION E431 HIGH SCHOOL LlGH'l'-WEIGHT BASKET BALL TEAM Bob Main, Bob l-libbits, and Boyd Canfield played the guard positions. Cliff' Cilkerson and Stan Howerton fought it out for center. Doc Kelliher, Don Main and Bill Schuyler were a trio of fast and accurate forwards, with not much to choose between them. The lightweights finished the season first. After winning from all comers except San Luis, they dropped a game to Santa Maria and one to Santa Bar- bara. Santa Barbara lost but one game and won the right to play Paso Robles for the section championship. The heavyweights experienced little difficulty in defeating every one on our court, and went unbeaten until they met Santa Barbara in the south. This game proved to be a real thriller. Only four field goals were thrown, and Lompoc divided honors with Santa Barbara for those. The fouls decided the game in favor of Santa Barbara, whose players proved a little more adept in this department. The final score was 7 to 6 in favor of Santa Barbara. A tie resulted in the league, and on the night of February 23 we journeyed to Santa Maria to meet Santa Barbara on a neutral court. The crowd gave 'magnificent support, the team fought a marvellous fight, but again inability to convert fouls decided the game in favor of Santa Barbara, I2 to l0. Lompoc led until the final quarter, when Glover of Santa Barbara dropped in two beautiful long goals in rapid succession. Lompoc was unable to re- gain the lead thus established by the Southerners. LOMVOI' UNION l441 HIGH SVHOOI. FOOTBALL SEASON OF '25 The Lompoc team succeeded in winning only one game in the past season. The reasons for the poor showing were: first, not enough fellows turned out for football, and second there was not enough time for practice as the busses left early. Altho only a few went on the busses, it was enough to break up the team. As a result of lack of practice, the fellows failed to develop much teamwork. The team got a poor start when it lost to the Ventura Junior College. Lompoc went to Ventura thinking that it was to play the High School, but learned, a few minutes before the game, that it was to met the junior College. Bill Dutra played a good game in the backfield, making one long run of about forty yards. The next Saturday Lompoc played Ventura l-ligh. Probably we would have scored a touchdown in the first quarter had it not been for a fumble a few yards from the goal line. The score was 0 to 0 at the end of the third quarter, but Ventura had advanced the ball to within a few feet of our goal line. l-lere Lompoc held them for three downs. Then they fumbled, recovered, and finally, after two more downs, took the ball across. In the last few minutes of the game Ventura picked up a fumble and ran for another touchdown. The real reason for this defeat was the fact that we had four kicks blocked. The only game won by Lompoc was that with Paso Robles. Both teams had six points up until a few minutes from the end of the game. Lompoc LOMPOC UNION l45fI HIGH SCHOOL :ihen made a drive, and Percy Main bucked through their line for a touch- own. Lompoc suffered defeat at the hands of San Luis High for the first time in history. Lloyd Adams, formerly of Lompoc, played a great game in the San Luis backfield. v Altho we lost by three touchdowns, our best game was with Santa Maria. They came over expecting an easy victory, as they had beaten us 53 to 0 last year. Their confidence was a bit shaken by the end of the half with the score 0 to 0. However, in the last half they picked up a block kick and ran for their first touchdown. They regained confidence then, and put across two more touchdowns. The most exciting moment for Lompoc was in the first half when Percy Main intercepted a pass in the middle of the field and almost got away for a touchdown. Santa Barbara beat Lompoc in the next game. We lost the services of Bill Dutra early in the game, when he twisted his knee. Lompoc scored twice. once when Bob Smith blocked a kick, picked up the ball, and ran for a touchdown. and again wh'en Bob Main scooped up a fumble and ran away from the Santa Barbara team to the goal line. , The final disaster of the season caime when Paso Robles revenged her- self on Thanksgiving Day. The Blue and White lost by two touchdowns. The prospects for next year's team are fair. From the lettermen we will lose by graduation Bill Dutra, Norman Adams, Percy Main, Clinton Dimock, Lynn Berkencamp and Bob Smith. We will also lose George Fabing, as he has moved to l.os Olivos. The lettermen who will be back are James Alcott, Percy Correll, Robert Main, Robert Hibbits. Harvey Olinger, Clifford Gilker- son and Lawrence Schuyler. Schuyler and Gilkerson will be with the team for three more years. Besides these lettermen there are quite a few boys in school who should be out for football next season. We should have a squad of about thirty-five men.

Adam, getting in shape. The third letterman of last year, Alfred Beattie, was not able to train because of sickness. Baseball took many good track men from practice: but even against these heavy handicaps, Coach Green turned out a team which almost unanimously met the quali- fications for letters. After the lnterclass Meet, which was held on Thursday and Friday, March 12th and l3th, we participated in five consecutive meets. ln the Carpinteria Invitational Meet Lompoc was not very successful, but we de- feated the Alumni on March 28th by a large score. ln our Invitational Meet at home, on April 3, almost all Lompoc entrants qualified for letters. ln the Santa Maria and Santa Barbara Meets on April 10th and l7th, respectively, Lompoc scored very few points, although we won second place in Class B in Santa Maria. ln these meets Bert Howerton. Walter Stewart, James Alcott, Howard Marsh, Percy Main, Donald Adam, Donovan Main, Harvey Olinger, l-loward Schuyler, Robert Main and Robert Smith fulfilled the requirements for letters. Of these eleven lettermen only three graduate. This will leave us a good foundation for the 1927 track season. LOMPOC UNION E471 HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL Tho Lompoc did not win the county championship in baseball, owing to the large number on the sick and ineligibility lists, a good showing was made. , We played several practice games with the Celite and Alumni teams. The two practice games, played with Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. were lost to the tune of 7 to l and I2 to' 9. The league games were: April 27, Santa Maria 8, Lompoc 75 May 2, Santa Barbara 3, Lompoc 2g lVlay 8, Carpinteria 2, Lompoc l3. Howerton is the Babe Ruth of the team, having laid out two home runs this season: but Bill Schuyler is leading the team in hits made. The line-up for the last league game was: Cilkeson, C., Howerton, P., Marsh, l B., Correll, 2 B., Stewart, 3 B., Van Zandt, S. S., Smith, L. F., Adams, R. F. The substitutes were Kelliher and Huyck. Captain Howerton leads all the.league pitchers in strike outs. Against Carpinteria he established a record for himself, striking out eighteen men. The league game against Santa Barbara here was a thriller, going into extra innings and causing numerous cases of heart failure and nervous prostration. Santa Barbara finally won 3 to 2. LOMPOC UNION l48J HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' BASKET B ALL The season opened with inter-class basketball. The Seniors came out victorious in their game with the Juniors, and the Sophomores won from the Freshmen. Due to the fact that many of our neighboring schools do not permit their girls to play inter-school basketball, we succeeded in having only three games with out of town teams. Mildred Daniels, as forward, and Frances Schuyler, as guard, were added to last year's stand-bys. The girls demonstrated their excellent team work in all the games. Blanche Gillcerson, as guard, and Cesarina Pensa, as running center, excelled in swift playing. Hazel Schuyler and Cesarina Pensa received a second star on their letters, as well as a silver basketball for their third season on the first team. Alice Lind, Captain, Emile Glidden, Blanche Gilkerson and Mabel Vance earned one star, while Mildred Daniels and Frances Schuyler received letters. The season's games were: Lompoc vs. Recreation Center, February 5, at Santa Barbara. Score 39-I 7. Lompoc vs. Santa Barbara Girls' School, February 27 at Santa Barbara. Score I0-l8. Lompoc vs. Santa Barbara Girls School, March 6 at Lompoc. Score 38-48. LOMPOC UNION f45b1 HIGH SCHOOL alkali lllllllllllllllllllh RULES FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING. l.
