ELLOW-STUDENTS, friends and patrons of the Los Angeles High School, the Summer Class of Ninety-nine bring you greeting : We have labored long and faithfully to create something which will cause us to be remembered in after years. We hope that we have left our mark in the school, but, as the records of school days are soon forgotten, this volume may act as a reminder of us. And when, many years hence, We open its pages, our thoughts may go back to the pleasant times spent in old High School, and especially in the Senior Class. It has not been without work and pleasure that this volume, which we submit to you, has been produced. We have striven to please all, and have spared no pains to make our book a suc- cess in every Way. Our only wish now is that you, our readers, will enjoy its pages. S T MIGHT be well to give a brief insight into the High School publications of the past. The High School Idea, a monthly paper, was launched in 91-92, by Arthur Kinney and Lionel Wells. It had a successful life for three or four years, but Hnally succumbed to the combined attacks of inanition and a formidable rival, The Lyceum. To the Summer Class of Ninety-seven is due the credit of the issuance of the first Blue and White. This publication is founded on entirely different lines from any of its predecessors, in that the paper is edited and managed entirely by members of the Senior Class, and is issued only twice a year, each Senior Class is responsible for the policy of its issue of the Blue and White. The irst Blue and Whitej' although not so large by nearly one hundred pages as the present issue, far surpassed any pre- vious issue of the Idea or Lyceum. This one was bound in blue and white. Then the Winter Class of Ninety-eight furthered the idea, and a handsome volume, bound in a yucca cover is the monument to that class in the literary world. The third issue was the result of the energies of the Summer Class of Ninety-eight, and this edition of the Blue and White was conceded, at that time, to be the best effort of our High School'sjournalism. This one was gay in red, white and blue. The Winter Class of Ninety-nine was certainly deserving ot much praise for their number of the Blue and White. Its handsome cover of burned leather, enclosing one hundred and ninety-two pages, far outshone the previous effort of any class. Now we, the Summer Class of Ninety-nine, the publishers of this volume, will leave it to the reader to judge its merits, and to those who have read previous issues to make a comparison. ff! HAT scholarship which a previous editor so longed for, is about to be realized by the almost unanimous action of the progressive girls of our class. A brief statement is made of the work under the Delta Sigma Delta, but with becoming modesty they do not claim much credit 5 however, the girls are deserving of high praise, and it is earnestly hoped that the initiative step will be followed by something greater in the future. O the National Educational Association our school, as well as our class, bring hearty greeting. It is a pleasure we have looked forward to, and we hope your brief stay in Los Angeles will ever be to you a happy memory. We are proud of our High School, and our faculty, and, al- though the building is not large enough now to comfortably ac- commodate all the pupils without crowding, it is rumored that in the not distant future a new building will be erected for the further extension of the city's High School facilities. Our aims are 'to become stronger and better, although we are a fully accredited school in both the University of California and the Leland Stanford jr. University. Yet we know our eiforts must be unceasing. Our High School journalism is a special feature in which we take great pride, and being this year's Senior Class, we are especially proud of this issue. Has your school a paper equal to ours? ' ff! O our teachers who have assisted us, and especially for the consideration shown by our principal, W. H. Housh, and vice-principal, Mrs. Frick, the staff is especially grateful. To our teachers and friends in the school, we bid a fond fare- well as students of the Los Angeles High School, it is with mingled feelings of joy and regret that we departg but in View of the fact that our few years have been so enjoyably spent, the memory of our connection with the school will bring to us pleasant thoughts. To the associates on the staff who have so nobly assisted in the compiling of this volume, the editor embraces the opportunity to extend his thanks, and to assure them that there will always be pleasant recollections of the days when we worked together on the BLUE AND WHITE of the Summer Class of Ninety-nine.

ITTLE NIG wasn't really her nameg it was only the nick- name that the invalid lady across the street gave her. Her real name was Almira Euphemia Clarabell jones, but it took so long to say it all that the whole neighborhood readily adopted the invalid lady's suggestion. Besides, Little Nig was so appropriate. She certainly was little, and none who had ever seen her would have been so bold as to question her race, for she was as black as the ace of spades. She was an orphan. She told the young doctor next door that her ma had gone to heavento be a lady. She was not very clear in her own mind as to the whereabouts of her pa. She 'spected he'd done gone somewheresf' She lived with her grammar 'i and grampar in a tiny lit- tle cottage on Oak street 5 such a funny little cottage, set in among all those fine houses, no one knew how nor when it was built 5 but it had been there for a long time, and various families, more or less interesting, had lived there. Little Nig belonged to the class of the more interesting. She was the pet amusement of the whole block. The young man from Stanford pronounced her no end of fun, and so rippingly smart for a little kid. Mrs. Failing the invalid lady, who was ill and rather lonely, never let her pass without raising the win- dow to call good-day. Mrs. Failing saw more of Little Nig than anyone else, for, as I said, she lived directly across the street, and being helpless, sat all day long by the window. A dozen times a day the gate to the little red house clicked open, a little figure bobbed out and went dancing down the street. Such an odd little hgure it was 5 for Little Nig had a pair of slim little legs, and wore skirts that came but to her knees g she had a saucy little face, round, turn-up nose, wide, smiling mouth, and a pair of dancing black eyes 3 the woolly head was covered with a multitude of tiny perpendicular braids. On week days each was fastened by a short piece of string, but Sundays they blossomed out in all the glory of, scar- let ribbon. Being a girl, and a very little girl, Nig was rather lonely. She craved some other companionship than that of her venerable old Hgrandpar H and placid grammar, She considered boys un- mannerly tyrants not to be endured, and little girls were not respectful enough to her own small self. So in a very short time she , had made friends with nearly every grown person on the street. I likes the grown-ups best, she announced one even- ing while walking home with the elderly widow, they're more politerf' And there was little doubt that the grown-ups H liked her. Sometimes when the neighborhood whist club was growing dull., some kindly member would go in search of Little Nig, if his search was successful the company need fear no more dullness, for Little Nig was possessed of all the ready wit of her race, and though not bold, certainly was not shy. In the steady ire of questions shot at her she bravely held her own and gave them tit for tat. Sometimes she amused them by telling anecdotes about her own life, anecdotes told with a quaint vivacity for a little child of seven years. Once she had gone by her digniied little self to a Salvation Army Sunday school, for since her mother was in heaven, she thought it was time she was gettin 'ligion for herself. But I fear that the children of the Salvation Army, de- spite their uniforms, are children after all. The quaint little hg- ure deeply amused them, and they entertained themselves by pull- ing her various braids. Little Nig told the story with indignant gravity. I waited awhiles, she told the company, then I says to myself, 'what kind of 'haviors is these? ', and I don't go there no more. Little Nig's manners were marvelous. Her grandmother had been a lady's maid in her youth, and she had strict ideas as to the manners of her only daughter's only child. So Little Nig bobbed old fashioned little courtesies whenever she entered a room, and suh and ma'amed with old fashioned precision. I don't go with unperlite folks, said Little Nig loftily one day, no po' white trash fo' me. A few doors down the street there lived a little girl who seemed both to fascinate and repel Little Nig. She was a delicate little thing, and the spoiled pet of her father and mother. When Nig first saw her she was dressed in pink, and from that day Little Nig invariably called her the little pink girl. She was the only child-friend Little Nig possessed 5 and even she was not always a friend. I fear that the 'haviors of the little pink girl were no better than those of the Salvation Army children, for she was sometimes unpardonably rude to her guest 3 then Little Nig went home in haughty silence, which she maintained till Little Pink, becoming lonely, coaxed her back to friendship again. f But Little Nig's chief friend was the young doctor. To him she confided her bitterest woes and greatest joys. She deeply admired him, and showed her admiration by an almost dog-like faithful- ness. Often when he had been spending the evening with a neighboring friend, on his departure he would be startled by the appearance of her childish form behind the fence g she would slip her hand into his, and go skipping home beside him, literally dancing with joy. The second time this happened, heremon- strated with her, saying she would catch cold so late at night with nothing over her shoulders. The next time Little Nig appeared with a little shawl pinned around her. It was in these night walks that Little Nig became most conndential. Here she often discussed the merits and demerits of the little pink girl. Once when this young person had been so very impolite as to call Little Nig a blacky, Little Nig came in high indignation to the doctor. I told my grammar that last night, and my grammars says, she says, Dat chile's mother ain't no gentlemanf and I agrees, said Little Nig. The doctor agreed, too, most fervently. On the corner of Oak and Blank streets stood a handsome house, in which lived a lonely old man, rich enough to have bought half the town, but not rich enough to buy his own hap- piness. He was so taciturn and lived in such deep seclusion that no one had dared break through the wall he had built around himself g no one, that is, save Little N ig. Her method was highly original. Every Thursday morning Mr. Rich left his gloomy mansion and went to the city on business. He left punctiliously at the same hour every Thursday, and returned quite as punctili- ously 3 so it did not take Nig long to learn his hours of going and coming 5 this was the first step in her attempt. Every Thursday evening, just as the train pulled in, Little Nig made her appear- ance at the local station nearest Oak street 3 this was the second step. Next came the third, oddest of all. She took her place directly in front of the testy old gentleman, and then danced backward all the way home, smiling most winningly every step of the way. She dared not address so formidable a person, and her childish brain could find no surer way than this for winning the friendship of this fascinating old man. And hard, indeed, would have been the heart that could have withstood that hxed, unfaltering smile. Mr. Rich smiled back, perforce, at the very absurdity of the picture before him. This was encouraging, and the smile on Little Nig's dusky countenance widened preceptibly. The rest was very simple. The ice once broken, friendships- from Little Nig's standpoint-are easy to make. Mr. Rich asked her name, Nig smiled and answered him, -then they were friends. After that Mr. Rich took considerable interest in this odd little girl. She was a new feature in his monotonous life. Every jour- ney to and from the train was kept from being tedious by the lit- tle skipping Hgure and busy tongue 3 for Nig never changed her style of walking with him, and her tongue went as if by machin- ery. They were an odd pair, the white-haired old man and the tiny little girl. Yes, there was no doubt that she was an acquisition to the place. There was no more popular member in society. Reckon I'll be growed up soon, she remarked to the little pink girl, one day. U Hmph l ' 'said the more practical Miss Pink, you'll wait awhile first, I guess. Nig sedately changed the subject, but not her ideas, for she evidently regarded her young ladyhood as something in the near future. Time went on, and Little Nig was no less interesting than at first. But all good things have an end in this sad world. Nig's grandfather was growing too old to work for his living, and, as a nephew in the far South had oifered him a home, he took his wife and little grandchild and left the fair city of Dash forever. Nig shed many tears at parting, and gave each friend some keepsake from her tiny store of treasures. To the doctor she gave her iirst and only doll, with which she had never played, it is true, but which she considered of value incalculable. The Young Lady with artistic talents, being slightly sentimental, made a sketch of Little Nig which wasn't very good. Everyone preferred his or her own mind picture, which was perfect, and which time could not change. Whatever became of Little Nig, no member of that neighbor- hood ever knew. She probably grew up as she herself had prophecied. But to the people of Oak street she will always be a happy, friendly little girl with a wide smiling mouth, a pair of dancing eyes and innumerable little pig tails which invariably Stand OH end- JULIA S.

'99, HE Grand Canon of the Colorado! What a name to con- jure with, and what happy recollections it brings up to any- one who has visited it. The canon proper consists of about three hundred miles of the course of the Colorado river, where it runs through Arizona. Flagstaff is the name of the little town from which we make our start to the cafion. It is probably one of the most noted places of its size in the United States, for, besides being closely identified with the cafion trip, the Lowell Observatory, under Prof. Lowell, is located on one of the foothills half a mile from the village. This observatory is devoted to the exclusive study of the planet Mars, and nearly all the data which we now have concerning that other world so closely resembling ours was ob- tained here. Flagstaff, itself, consists of one main street. It reminds us of the mining towns of ,4Q that we read about. Saloons and gam- bling halls alternate on Front street, and faro is played in open doorways and on the Sidewalks with impunity. We arrived in the afternoon, and at seven o'clock the next morning, after a rather questionable breakfast, we took the stage for our eighty-mile ride. In the circular it states, We take a com- fortable stage for a pleasant drive of sixty-live miles, over roads covered with pine-needles, through thick, shady woods 3 the road winds in and out among the giant pines, etc. This is only partly true, the first sixteen miles are such as the circular de- scribes. Our four horses take us at a brisk trot up a gently slop- ing incline, through thick avenues of massive pines, from whose branches numberless birds make the morning gay. Through the interstices between the trees we catch glimpses of the beautiful San Francisco peaks, covered with snow. Soon the character of the landscape changes, and the road be- comes level and covered with rocks, for we are rounding the base of the mountains. Here we strike the dust. It is awful. Thick, white, dense clouds of this powdered alkali rise about us and dry our lips until they crack, settling on everything, until in a short time it seems as if we had been out in a snow storm. We gasp for breath, but can only inhale the hot, poisonous fumes. In desperation we try to cool our bleeding lips with some water from the canteen, but our hopes are again disappointed, for it is almost boiling. For the next forty miles the drive is-an intolerable, hot agony, over a trackless waste of desert. Then comes a break in the monotony, for we meet the return- ing stage. The occupants covered from head to foot like a miller with white Flour, show that they, too, have sulfered. After pass- ing the stage we round a bend and see stretched for miles to the right of us the indescribable beauties of the Painted Desert. 93241, , V ' ' ' ' No artist could show on his canvas the gorgeous colors of this wondrous picture. Stretching away for a hundred miles are the multi-colored buttes and cliffs that enclose the desert itself. In the foreground are the reddish sandstone hillocks, on either side, the towering masses of pink and yellow rocks. As we look farther and farther away, the lovely colorings change from brilliant red to yellow, lavender, and blue, until away on the horizon a line of purplish pink denotes the opposite wall. The heat waves rising from the burning sands, cause the colors to blend and form an ever changing picture. - With inexpressible regret we leave this behind and plunge into the burning furnace. We pass a lonely packer, with his over- burdened burros, and wonder at the contentedness with which he makes his lonesome journey over the barren alkali. After several hours of uneventful driving we arrive at the Canon Hotel. By this time it is dark and the moon is risen. After a hearty supper in the log-built hotel, we scramble up the rim for a nrst glimpse of the object of our journey. Flagstaff and the approaches to the canon are on a broad lofty plateau, extending hundreds of miles in every direction. From this plateau the Colorado river has cut its way six thousand feet down, so when we reach the canon we are on the top rim of the gorge. The first view is unsatisfactory. We stand on the edge of a precipice and look on' into space, empty space, save for a few fleecy clouds below us, which reflect a silvery white light under the moon. The distance across is so great that we cannot dis- tinguish the opposite side. But the next morning when we again walk to the brink-oh ! the wonder of it! Before us is a vast chasm, in which a few wispy clouds hover. Looking across, we can see the opposite rim. It appears about six miles away, but at this point it is really eighteen. As we look to the right and left, up and down the canon, we can see the river, like a brown thread, twisting its way iifty miles in each direction. The general tints of the sandstone walls are reddish, pink and purple in the distance, but like those of the Painted Desert, are continually changing. We eat our breakfast and then interview Capt. Hance, the owner of the canon. Of course it is government property, but Capt. Hance nrst explored it twenty years ago. Since then he has never left it, excepting to make a couple of trips East. In the winter when the snows come, he takes his horses and descends to his cabin by the river where it is always warm and his garden flourishes. Under his skillful guidance, we set out for a trip along the rim. The trail lies along the very edge of the brink, and as we round the indentations of the walls, we obtain new views each time, each one more beautiful than the last. After an eight-mile ride, we reach Moran Point, from which the nnest view is obtained. Three miles away to the right, on the same side of the rim that we are on, is Bissell Point. At the bottom, six thousand feet sheer drop, the Colorado river, a rushing torrent three hundred feet wide, appears as a tiny gray hair, twisting and turning, now hidden from view, now in plain sight. And so the days go on 5 once a trip down the old trail to the river 5 then wanderings through the mighty, breeze-blown woods. Finally, when our time is up and we mas! go, after a last, long, lingering view, trying to drink in the beauties and indelibly im- press them on our memory, we take the stage for Flagstai, with only pleasant memories for, and a wish for a speedy return trip to, the Grand Canon of the Colorado. 5L1I16Cf. The sun is setting in the golden west, And heaven is painted by its shining rays Till all that western sky is in a blaze Of red, and green, and glowing amethyst. And e'en the stately mountains it has kissed, And breaking through their cloak of mist and haze In soft and tender hues it half displays, Half leaves concealed in shade, the mountain's breast. And as the gates of heaven open swing To welcome back the chariot of the sun, We see the golden streets and crystal spring, And even seem to hear the angels sing, And list to catch the tender voice of One Who ever welcomes home the wandering. FLORENCE FIELD, S. '99, H11 SID !IDEtib'5 Evening wut. AST night we held our villiage quilting bee at Susan's house, and seeing as Susan is pretty and sort of stylish-like, every- one goes there expecting to have a good time. It hadn't entered into my head to go, for the young folks mostly run things here now- adays, and I'm getting so old and kind of childish, I guess, anyway the young folks of this day don't act at all like I used to. It's been exactly sixty-two years the twelfth of this coming june since I was as young and skittish as Susan, or Mary Ann, or even Jane, I guess, though folks would never think I'd been young once and had beaux, when they see me, such an old maid as I am. I declare, it does seem quite a considerable stretch of of time since john used to come over evenings, and we'd be so happy! Then came the war, and then the news of the victory, and the boys' return home-but John didn,'t come. But what am I thinking about this for anyway? I must be getting old and prone to wander from my irst thoughts. Well, last evening Lizzie came round, and she said so sort of coaxing- like that I couldn't resist, Aunt Deb, you've got to come to this here quilting bee, for we're going to have in all the folks, young and old, from the whole surrounding country, and you being one of us, youlve got to come. I always did say Lizzie could boss me round most anyway she pleased, so I went. My ! but there was a crowd of us, and Susan met us all at the door and showed us to chairs. She seemed to know just how to act, and didn't look at all ruffled when that stylish young fellow from the city, who is boarding down in our village this year, came in and shook hands just like city folks. She just blushed a little bit and looked real sweet and pretty. But me, why I never did feel so awkward ! I just sat there with my hands spreading all over everything, seemed like, and I declare, I felt just like a boy I used to know that we called a little bit slack-twisted. ' I was right surprised to see Aunt Charity there, for seeing as I am so old, I don't get out nowheres much, and we hadn't seen each other for an age. So we had a regular reunion of just us two, and I guess we enjoyed ourselves pretty much. At least she said she did, and so did I. We used to play together when we was young, and I recollect we had a play-house up in the hay- mow. Then we used to go together down to the bend in the road where the bridge was, and watch the big turnpike stage go jolting by, with lots of real stuck-up city folks inside. We used to say we'd take our wedding journey in one of them grand stage coaches, and Aunt Charity really did, but john never came back for me, so I always stayed to home. I never did see the beat the way I slide oif of my subject, and get back to old times. Well-last night all the girls seemed real gay and they all turned in and helped get supper, while the boys sat round and watched them 3 but most of us elders got off in cor- ners to ourselves, and brought up old times. It did me just lots of good, and I don't know but what I'd ought to go out more, to sort o' liven me up a little. The supper was real good 3 but we had a lot of mince pies! I thought they were kind of out o' season for this time of year, but Beckey told me sort of confidential-like, that she had made so much mincemeat in the fall, since she was expecting company, and then they didn't come, so she just felt in duty bound to get it oif her hands somehow, for she declared it was wrong to let it spoil and waste the substance the Lord had given her, so she made it up and brought it to the quilting-bee. Now I used to tell folks I couldn't carry on a conversation very easy, but I declare, it seems most like it this time, don't it? And whatls more, the conversation is all on my side. Dear me, that is too bad ! I don't want to be selish, so I think I'll give some- body else a chance to talk. VIVIAN STRINGFIELD, W. 'o1.

HE warning bell rings, and a ripple of restlessness steals over the school, and is especially apparent in the auditorium, where study immediately ceases, and the pupils prepare to pick up their books. Five minutes later the noon-bell rings, and there commences a great uproar in the halls, for a thousand pupils throng the stairs and corridors. First they go to their class rooms to put up their books, and then those of the boys who do not go home at noon pass into the yard to eat lunch, while the girls may eat lunch in their class rooms. Many, of the boys especially, do not bring basket lunches, but rely upon the baker, the tamale-vendor, and the ice-cream man to supply their needs. The hrst rush is'toward the three bakery carts. The proprie- tors are surrounded by crowds of pupils calling out Cream-pie and cream puH's, A nickel's worth of doughnuts, please, Quarter of an apple-pie and quarter of a mince, Snails and cookies, Kisses and chocolate cake, and other combinations of the baker's wares, which please the palates of the pupils. For a few minutes the bakers have a brisk trade, but soon all wants in the pastry line are supplied, and there is a rush to venders of other articles. All this time the tamale-men have been plying a brisk trade, especially if it happens to be a cold day g and the candy-man, oi' in one corner, has not been entirely idle. For a few minutes the front yard is quiet, while the boys and girls are eating the things they have brought or bought. Now comes the busy time for the two ice-cream men, who have a good business even on a cold day. We will Brst watch the scene about the cart of Isadore Lafranchie, familiarly called Frenchie by the boys, who has been an established feature of the noon-scene for several years. We hear What have you got, Frenchie ? What kind of ice did you bring today ? !from the customers, and Banana, ice and strawberry-cream. What choose? comes back in reply. Then comes Mixed, Frenchie, most ice. Straight ice and a mixed, pile it up high, Straight mixed, most of both, etc. The scene is most interesting on a warm day, when the trade is brisk. Frenchie is then surrounded by a noisy crowd of boys, with now and then a few quiet girls to swell the chorus, and he is greeted with a great clamor of Two mixed and an ice, Three ices, Frenchie, Mixed, most cream, until he has sold out. The other ice-cream man, Mr. Paramore, has not been established here so long, and he is by no means so quick as .Frenchie, Whose motions in serving are very rapid. Still he has established a good trade, and is on fairly intimate terms with his competitor, who seems to bear him no malice for taking away part of the business. In the side and back-yards, all this time, the boys, and to a smaller extent on their side of the building the girls, gather in groups to eat and talk. The boys tell humorous experiences of the morning, discuss examinations, and josh one another. The gong sounds, the noon hour closes, the pupils assemble : and for ive minutes more the halls are filled with pupils return- ing to their rooms. Then the tardy-bell sounds, and the after- noon session begins. MORRILL G.

You leave the Bat world of barley-Belds and climb up in the hills until you come to a dear, hidden glen that is all yours, yours. No one in the world has ever been there except you, and the birds, and the singing brook. Over the fern-clad banks, through the delightful tangled thicket of bushes and briars you seek the fairest and sweetest of the Bowers, hear a tree-toad chirp and hunt for the elusive fellow, make friends with the bright-eyed little squirrels. The pleasant shadows of the trees, festooned with the young silvery leaves of the wild grapevine, shade you from the approach- ing mid-day warmth. Looking up through their leafy screen the sky A So fathomless and pure, as if All loveliest azure things have gone To heaven that Way-the Howers, the sea- And left their color there alone l' seems to be so near and to smile in loving sympathy. The muffled melody of the stream and the drowsy, soothing hum of the bees lull you into a dreamy state, and you think of the days that are to come, when you will go out into the great, fascinating, unknown world, and the deeds you will do, the re- nown you will win. O, kind fate, that will not let us see the to- morrow, so that today we may build our dream-castles and look at life through a roseate haze. Dream on, O child, weaving thy life-thread with the alchemist's art. Only too soon wilt thou know that most of life consists of Ulongings unsatisned, aspira- tions unrealized, strivings after the unattainable. How fast the little brook is ever hurrying, hurrying on, never pausing an instant to rest or to think. Doesn't it sometimes grow weary, its rippling cadence become monotonous? You wonder if it longs for one moment of silent peace. But the afternoon breeze has sprung up, just whispering a dream-song of the sea. Soon it will be dark if you linger longer. The cows, their harsh bells softened by distance, are going home, and slowly you go, too. Tomorrow and the teacher's reproaches? You do not think of that. Your heart is filled with Nature's tranquil love and wonderful peace. EDITH SPENCER, S. 'oo. ' Q91-A G:Ol1t6l1tlTl6l'lf. Some Heecy clouds, a little sea, A bit of bright blue sky 3 A strip of sand, some white-winged gulls, And lastly,-you and I. E. C. A. El lbawaiiati IIDQID. AWAII is a land of natural extremes and contrasts, where the greatest differences of climate, soil, temperature, and vegetation exist side by side. Deserts and miniature Edens, dis- tricts flooded by tropical rain and regions arid and rainless, tor- rid heat and perpetual snow live as neighbors in that interesting little island. Besides the general peculiarities, nature has, in nts of caprice, formed many curious minor details, as if tired of uni- formity, she had given away her sense of the grotesque and fan- tastic. The little district of Puna in I-Iawaii's southeastern corner has been even better endowed with natural wonders than its neigh- bors. Among the most interesting of its many singular forma- tions is a volcanic phenomena, called by the English-speaking residents lava-trees. Sometime in ages long ago, probably before Cheops had even consulted his architect on pyramid build- ing, Kilauea, in a fit of periodic anger, burst out and poured a torrent of molten rock down its slopes into fair Puna below. There today is a great black river of frozen stone with a luxuri- ant forest on its banks. About half way down its course some six or seven miles from the sea, the lava-trees are located. In '95 I lived for several months on a coffee plantation in that district. On hearing of this remarkable phenomena, I decided to make it an early visit. An opportunity was not long in coming, the manager decided to look at some land in the interior, which was thought to be favorable for coffee culture. As the trip was long and tedious taken alone, he invited me to accompany him, and suggested that we pay a visit to the lava-trees on our return. There being no roads, the ride has to be made on horseback over a trail which is a revelation, even to a Californian. The route lay through the forest, which was a revelation also, not only to a Californian but to any inhabitant of the temperate zones. Imagine a mass of matted, tangled creepers, vines, ferns, bananas, and trees growing so thick, so closely interlaced, that a knife is necessary to penetrate even a few feet into its dark depths. Little, if any, of the sky overhead is visible, and twilight seems always to be in the air. The horse sinks nearly to his knees in the moist black earth, and the path is crooked and narrow. At times it seems as if you rode through a cavern of vegetation. 4 Tree ferns over forty feet in height, orchids, succulent vines, pari- sites, bananas and ohias grow in such bewildering confusion that the eye loses the sense of anything but a wall of solid green. After miles of this the green walls come to an abrupt termination, and away from their base sweeps a great black sea of frozen stone. Picture an ocean of solid rock, which was once a seething, boiling mass, now black, cold and silent, yet still re- taining the form of its liquid fury. Stretching away as far as the eye can reach are undulating waves, sharp crests, deep depres- sions. In flowing, the lava which is exposed to the air cools first, and solidiiies. As the pressure from behind increases, the molten lava within bursts through the crust formed, and flows out, leav- ing an arched passage. This action is repeated indefinitely down the whole course of the flow. As a flow grows in age it gradu- ally disappears by erosion and the action of vegetation. The rough and ragged projections disappear, then lichens begin to grow, a tree starts, here and there a few blades of grass, until in course of centuries a new forest has arisen on the lava's decom- posed surface. About sun-down I reached the lava-tree district. My first im- pression was, wonder that such things could be called trees of any sort, and it is my last, too, for I don't understand it even yet. Standing singly and in groups upon an old partly decomposed How, were irregular columns of black lava of the most fantastic and grotesque shapes, varying in height from mere projections to pillars of nearly forty feet above the ilow's surface. There were several hundred of them scattered over a surface of a square mile, but they seemed to be gathered in greatest numbers at the foot of an old burnt-out crater. Those which were open, and one I broke into, had a circular cavity down its center, and ashes and bits ot charcoal were scattered about the bottom. There was one strange four-legged figure called Kahavari's Pigf' but like the Great Bear, it required a better imagination than mine to trace a resemb- lance to the animal and its namesake. Another huge column called a vase, rose forty feet into the air 5 it had a bunch of ferns growing at its top. Its christening had been of a more recent date, so less effort of the imagination was necessary to recognize its form than in the case of the pig. The evening after my visit on returning home, I inquired of a native girl the nature of the legend concerning the formation of these trees which was once said to be current among the natives of that district. After some persuasion she related the ancient legend. That night I sat on her little low veranda, watching the brill- iant tropical moon playing on the line of white breakers outside and its perfect reflection on the still lagoon within, and the shim- mer of the glossy palm and mango leaves as they stirred softly in the warm gentle wind, while Miss Malua recounted her tale of half forgotten folk-lore. H Once, she said, long years ago, before the tallest palm of the grove across the lagoon had left its parent tree, or even before the mother palm had sprouted from its own shell, there lived in Puna a mighty chieftain, Kahavari. Tall he was and handsome, beloved of man and maid. His temper, in anger, like the hurri- cane surfg in love, like the ,gentle wave on the lagoonls strand. As much at home in the water as the shark he was 3 and often would he swim out to sea with naught but a knife, and wait for a shark's attack, never giving the struggle up until his enemy had died in a sea of crimson beneath the strokes of his keen knife. In hunting, too, and in battle on land and sea, his strength made him chief of men. But the sport Kahavari loved best, and that in which he most excelled, was the 'houla'g this you know, she said, Mis a slid- ing match down a steep grass-grown slope of an old crater. A smoothly polished sled which is called a 'papai is placed at the top, and the corgestants stand behind 3 at a given signal each runs and leaps upon his sled and speeds like the wind down the incline. Kahavari had a friend and fellow-champion, Ahua, who also was a favorite in the Kau district. Between these two a contest had been arranged. The friends of each on the day set assembled in a mighty throng at the crater you saw in the forest today, to watch the chieftains match their skill. It was a fair and lovely day,just such a one as this has been g the sea deep blue and sky withouta cloud, enough breeze was in the air to stir gently the feathery palms. The rain of the day before made fresh and glistening the man- goes and ohias. There was a luau and a contest with spear and bow. Then as the sun began to near Manua Loa's white-capped summit, Kahavari and Ahua, followed by Puna's bravest warriors and fairest maids, started for the steep descent. They reached it soon, and the two who were to match their skill in friendly contest, leaving the rest scattered about the foot ofthe crater, commenced the steep ascent. Ere long they gained the crestand were pausing there a moment for breath and rest, when a woman, young and of fair face, with charming manner and graceful mien, stepped from be- hind a clump of pahula trees. To Kahavari thus she spoke: ' Mighty chief, of great renown, the houlas' greatest master, I would match your skill with mine' Kahavari, turning, looked her with cold and haughty gaze and spoke in accents chill : 'What know you, woman, that you should challenge Puna's chief? ' Half in jest and half scorn the woman replied, 'I know enough to reach the end of this descent before the chief of Puna.' Kahavari made answer by handing her Ahua's polished sled. They placed them and took their places behind. Ahua gave the signal, both gave a leap and were off like arrows from a bow. Faster and faster they sped till the eye could no longer fol- low them in their swift flight. Inch by inch the woman gained till she was twice her length ahead of Kahavari. Then by some misfortune slight, she lost her balance and pitched headlong in the grass. Kahavari dashed by and alone made the nnish. The people joined in a mighty shout of pleasure at their cheiftain's victory. The woman, being unhurt, came quietly in their midst 3 glanc- ing at Kahavari she pointed to the crater's crest, which meant another trial. The people were insolent -and jeered at her as- sumption in attempting such a feat, but not a word escaped her lips as she climbed the steep incline. They reached the top and were again about to make ready, when-' I pray you stop, Kah- avarig your papa is better than mine,' she said, 'I being a novice it is both fair and right that you exchange with me.' Irritated by the woman 's persistence, Kahavari deigned to make no reply, but leapt on his sled and sped swiftly to join the throng below. They did not cheer this time, and as he neared them he noticed their eyes gazed with fixed terror on the crater's crest. Turning, as he reached the end, he saw a sight which made his own blood leave his heart and strike terror to his soul. Already, half down the slope, was the woman, no longer a pretty graceful girl, but a goddess dashing forward in mad pursuit, Herce, re- vengeful and vindictive. She rode upon the foremost crest of a lava wave, blood red, boiling, seething, hissing, eager to envelope the victims in its iery spray. In the woman's eyes the lightning flashed, the thunder sounded and the earth trembled at her ap- proach. Kahavari, gaining voice, cried z ' Fly, iiy ! 'Tis the all powerful, terrible Pele, goddess of Kiluea's eternal ire! Ply as best ye may, and the most that ye may hope is that ye will quickly die ! ' With this the multitude commenced a mad ilight to the sea. But the Herce goddess, offended at their insolent treatment, while she sought their friendship, smote them down with her breath of fire. One by one they fell beneath the death-dealing blast. Father, mother, warrior, maid and babes alike met death in the cruel flames eager for human blood. At last Kahavari alone was left, being fieet of foot he had outdistanced his companions, but Pele was fast nearing him. He could feel her scorching breath, and hear her clear voice urging onward her serpent flames. The sea was near, and he ran as he had never ran before. He jumped from rock to rock with great leaps and bounds, his eyes starting from his head and his breath coming in gasps. Pele grew nearer, in a voice Of cruel triumph she called to him: 'My curse is on youg I shall take you with me to the eternal fires of Kilauea, or if you escape you shall ever wander a stranger without home or friends' She slackened her pace to say this, and Kahauari with one mad bound jumped from the cliffs into the sea. His brother sailing homeward saw his desper- ate leap and rescued him. Together they invoked the East wind, which, with kindly pity, wafted them from the shore. Pele fol- lowed along the shore hurling stones and sending poisonous vapors, but without avail, for they sailed on wings of the wind to Maui's coasts, where Kahavari lived and died friendless and alone. And if you do not believe itf' Malua said, see there in the lagoon are the rocks which she threw, and yesterday you saw the people as they iied from Pelels dreadful anger. MAX ENDERLEINS, S. ,QQ.

OTHING affords greater pleasure to a zealous and energetic Franciscan monk than to establish a mission, far removed from the confines of the civilized world, and to here gather around him the poor ignorant Indian for instruction in the Holy Book. As early as 1769 the priests had made their way north from Mexico into Alta California, and established a mission at San Diego 5 two years later, one at San Gabriel was founded, and by 1782 there were eight flourishing missions between San Diego and San Francisco Bay. The Franciscans, when they arrived in California, to gain the conhdence and assistance of the natives, supplied them with food and clothing, and afterward taught them to support themselves by cultivating the soil instead of relying on the chase and wild fruits for a mere subsistence as heretofore. With the aid of these simple creatures, for they had not the intellect and iierceness of the northern tribes, the mission church and buildings which are today so picturesquely beautiful, were erected 5 and then was in- augurated a period of great prosperity. The home of the missionary priest was always open to the traveler and abundant hospitality was extended the welcome guest, who was invited to make his sojourn with them as long as it suited his convenience. A bath was provided the weary one, who had probably spent the whole day in the saddle 3 following a plentiful meal was spread and then after a pleasant evening chat with the good natured fathers, a comfortable bed awaited his weary bones. The mission gardens fairly glowed with the beautiful Castilian rose and other species, and the sweet perfume from the fragrant sweet peas and carnations was wafted in through the priest's study. In the vegetable garden near by were grown an abundance of red peppers, onions, lentils, squashes, peas, beets, carrots and melons. A short distance fur- ther on was the orchard which contained almost all the fruits that are now cultivated in Southern California. The fig, the grape and the olive were in the majority and amply supplied the monks with dried iigs, wine and olive oil. The yellow grain from the broad fields was threshed in a peculiar manner, it be- ing spread on the ground and trampled upon by a band of horses. At the close of the wheat harvest an interesting ceremony was held. The last four sheaves taken from the iields were tied no poles in the form of a cross and were then carried in the harvest procession to the church. The fathers, dressed in their robes, accompanied by boys bearing torches and singing the Te Deum as they marched, went forth to meet the sheaves. This was a period of jollification, a large number of the Indians being per- mitted to leave the mission to hunt and gather wild fruits and nuts. Many old Spanish families were attracted to these regions by the reports of very rich soil, that came from the Franciscans, and they settled on vast tracts of land bordering on the mission grounds. The family life of the old pioneers was dignihed and ceremonious, yet affection was not lacking. Children were taught to treat their elders with great respect, and if they showed a lack of breeding by sharp words to them, no matter who the offended persons might be, they could correct the culprits with words or use something more persuasive if they chose. Families of long and distinguished descent were careful to teach the young people the history of their ancestors. A few books, many of which were in the manuscript, were carefully treasured and perused, but anything bordering on fiction was not read until the person arrived at the age of discretion, or, more properly speaking, un- til he or she became of age. Wash day on an old California ranch was a period of enjoy- ment to the servants, a delightful picnic for the children, and a source of satisfaction to the seiora. Before sunrise the mother with her children would climb into the old carreta, drawn by two gentle oxen, and start for the arroyo, accompanied by the servants on foot, and followed by horses with bundles of soiled linen on their backs. The talk and laughter of the gay servant girls rang out upon the still morning air, and brought forth in response dismal howls from an apparently numerous band of coyotes. By sunrise the cavalcade had arrived at the water, unpacked the clothes, turned the horses loose to browse on the wild oats, and the girls standing in the middle of the stream commenced washing the linen on the smooth stones. In the evening the dry clothes were taken off the bushes, stored in the carreta, and pleasure lighted up the countenance of the mis- tress as she thought of her beautiful white linen, for if there was anything a Spanish lady of the upper class took pride in, it was the amount of clean white linen she possessed. Nothing was more attractive to the eyes of a Spaniard than to see a wedding cavalcade on the way from the bride's home to the mission church. The horses were richly caparisoned for such an important occasion, and especially the one on which the bride rode with her nearest relative or family representative. She sat on the saddle with her white satin shoe in a silver or golden loop, while he sat behind on the bear-skin covered anquera. The bride's home was sometimes as much as fifteen or twenty miles from the church, and if it was in May the gay troop rode along the Hower-covered banks of the streams, up through the green woods and down the vales carpeted in green grass. And some- times the young horsemen, anxious to show off their skill in rid- ing, would perform those diiiicult and dangerous feats for which the Spanish-Californian is famous. At the church the party formed in solemn procession and marched to the altar, where the necks of the bride and groom were bound together with light silk cords as they knelt to receive the priest's blessing. Among the middle and lower classes it was customary for the groom to make the satin slippers for the bride. A short time before the wedding he would ask her for the measure of her foot, make the slippers with his own hands and present them to her on the morning of the event. In the early Spanish days there were so many horses in the val- leys about Santa Barbara that many of them were driven into the sea, but the swift and beautiful horses that were usually seen in the wedding procession were somewhat scarce and in great de- mand, especially a cream-colored mustang with white mane and tail. Often in the twilight of an evening or on a moonlight night, when the grizzlies came from their covert in the hills to nose around the matanzas Cslaughter corralsj, the young Spanish gentlemen who Were desirous of showing their prowess, and anxious for some thrilling sport, would mount their steeds and sally forth with their strong rawhide riatas to do battle with their dangerous foe. When they succeeded in roping their game they would drag him into the village, past the homes of their friends, and after tiring of the sport would kill him. Now and then a bruin, unbidden, would pass through the village on his way to market. Some of these animals, with an ear for music, have been known to investigate the source of a low, sweet-toned melody that floated out on the soft night air from the instrument of some ardent young don, under the window of a pretty, black- eyed sefiorita. And the curiosity of the innocent bear has inter- rupted one of the most blissful moments of the young manls life and sent him skurrying to his saddled horse a few paces away. These occurrences were in the time of David Crockett, for within the next ten years after the gold strike the American settler came in, and most of these marauding bears were shot or poisoned. In fact, expert hunters were hired by the governor for the express purpose of ridding the country of such dangerous animals. At Easter time many strange and interesting sports were held on the mission grounds, with the permission of the fathers. The bull-ight, in old Spanish style was, of course, on the program, but a more important feature of the jubilee was a terrible fight between a bull and a grizzly. Several days before the appointed time the hills were scoured for a large, fierce grizzly, and the finest and most savage bull on the estate was selected to pour out its life-blood for the amusement of the howling crowd. To make the battle more even the hind foot of the bear was often tied to the forefoot of the bull, but eventhen the poor creature was sadly handicapped, for there is hardly a more savage and powerful brute in the world than the ursus ferox. The Mexican War won for the United States this rich and pro- ductive countryg the discovery of gold brought vast numbers here in search of wealth, and many failing as miners, turned their attention to agriculture. Farming was found to be as profit- able as mining, and in a few years American ranches were scat- tered througout the whole length of California. From this time on the decline of the mission system in this State was very rapid. It had done its work and done it well, but the American brought his civilization with him and had little or no regard for the au- thority of the church. The Indians fell away from their old homes, the ields were neglected, the orchards decayed, and at last the missions fell into ruins. Yet today they remain, grand in the ruins, monuments of the piety, devotion and industry of the monks of St. Francis, and reminders of the palmy days of the genteel Spanish pioneer. O. W. B., S. '99. She JBoQ'9 letter. BV HUGH F. NEUHART, S. '99. HE boy from the High School, weighted down with two small volumes, which he carries with the tips of his iingers as if it would be very pleasant to drop them at the hrst conven- ient opportunity, opens the screen door and stalks into the kitchen. As he passes through the door into the sitting-room he is rather startled by this chorus from his mother and two sisters, O, let us read it! Can't we read it? Do let us read it! The poor boy stands with a bewildered sort of grin on his face, for he fails to see the cause of the excitement, and stammers, Wh- what? That, says his mother. The boy casts his eyes in the direction indicated by the index hnger of his mother and they fall on a neat little blue envelope lying on the table, and addressed to him. He picks up the envelope, looks at the handwriting of the ad- dress a minute. His mother and sisters stir uneasily in their chairs 5 the boy likes to tease. He reaches slowly into his pocket, procures his knife, opens a blade, examines it carefully. It doesn't seem to suit him. Three pairs of eyes follow his every movement. He shuts the blade and leisurely opens another. He examines this one carefully. His spectators shift their posi- tions. After careful examination this blade seems to satisfy him. He carefully inserts the point of the knife blade into one corner of the envelope and slowly opens one end. His sisters with one voice cry, Hurry up ! and see what it is. The boy carefully shuts his knife, reaches his hand in Eve different pockets, one after the other, as if in search of something. At length he draws it out of the last one and his spectators see him open a little chamois-skin case, which he never uses, and carefully tuck his knife in it and deposit case and knife in-his vest pocket. The boy then slides farther down in his chair and throws one leg over the opposite knee. He shrugs his shoulders and twists them around as if there were a pin sticking him between the shoulder blades. He reaches into his vest pocket again and takes out the case with the knife in it, informs his hearers that he never did feel comfortable with a knife in his vest pocket, and places it leis- urely in his trousers pocket. Even hislmother, who has hitherto been undemonstrative, stirs in her chair. The boy gloats within himself. It tickles him inside. He would like to grin, but that would spoil it all. He looks as grave as a judge at a murder trial. He holds the envelope up between the fore finger and thumb of his right hand, with the open end downward. He shakes it a little. He shakes it a little harder. A dainty little sheet drops to the floor. The boy slowly picks it up, and as slowly unfolds it. The curiosity of his mother and sisters is now at fever heat. He reads it, folds it up, and returns it to the envelope, rises from his chair and makes for the door with an unconcerned look on his face. He has almost reached the door when he is sud- denly brought to a halt by this chorus in a disappointed tone, Well, are n't you going to tell us what it is P ' Aw, it is only a shoe-store advertisement announcing a new stock of baby shoes just received at one of the stores up town. You mean thing! It isn't eitherfi . But the door is slammed before the sentence is half out, and slammed in a manner that no one but a boy seems able to master. A few nights later the boy, dressed in his best, comes into the sitting-room, looks bashful, and after clearing his throat several times says, K'Say, pa, can you give me a little mo-money? l'm going to a card-party, and I want some car-fare.

All should be glad to see our victories in athletics. Our football team has won the cham- pionship of Southern California and Arizona, and in the recent tournament we won the tennis championship cup of the southern part of the State. All should study our methods and observe our daily work at school to see whether our advance along literary lines does not rival our successes in the athletic field. It is there- fore our desire to bring before the public what we are doing and what our aims are g we want to rouse the interest of the citizens of Los Angeles in our attainments, and are always glad to see visitors to the different departments. We are especially desirous' of interesting our friends inone of our needs. There are among us hard-working students who are not afraid of earnest effort, and whose clean records and lofty ambitions assure us that they would make brilliant students in college, but who are forced to forego the attainment of their aims because of the lack of one necessary qualification-money. We think if the public could see this they would surely help such to a college education by giving scholarships. It is too bad that our school, as large and renowned as it is, has no method of help- ing the meritorious poor student. If four thousand dollars were put at six per cent interest, the income to be used for this pur- pose, one person could be kept in college, and perhaps a different one each year, for all universities have scholarships open to those students who, during their first year, have shown themselves capable of doing good work. Scholarships are the more neces- sary from this school because we are so far away from the col- leges. For instance, the boy who lives at Berkeley can go to the University and board at home, and outside of school he can find work, because he is known, but anyone from this part of the State has no such advantage and must give up his ideas of going unless someone aids him. So it is with us, in regard to all the universities. There are many of our patrons who, if they thought of it at all, would be convinced of our need in this direc- tion and would help us gladly. Two hundred dollars would be a godsend to many a pupil with high ambitions and low purses. Let someone take the lead and others will surely follow, and at some time we will have a system as good as Harvard's. Harry A. Walton Helen L. Day Marguerite Henderson john T. Cooper Another thing that would strike the visitor would be the bare walls 5 we need works of art to make rooms more beautiful. A classic picture is inspiring, and we need inspiration. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. We are approaching our object slowly, and would be glad of any help from the outside. It has become a custom for each class at its graduation, to present a picture to our Alma Mater, and the history classes give a histori- cal scene, or portrait, which, you may be sure, we prize very highly, but we want more. Here is a chance for liberal persons to put their money to good use, and receive the gratitude of the school. Several times during the last semester, lectures have been given in the auditorium to raise money for pictures, and we have made small sums this way. We should be very glad to have outsiders come also and swell our picture fund. On March 17th, Geo. L. Cole, who has made a study of the prehistoric races of Arizona, gave us a very interesting talk on the cliif-dwellers, and showed us over one hundred stereopticon views, from photographs which he himself took of the ruined buildings which were the homes of the cliff-dwellers centuries ago. At another time Mr. Stevenson gave a lecture on Scot- land in Song and Story, which made us realize some of the beauty of that land, and what it was as Scott knew it. It was rendered all the more interesting by the reading of Scott's novels we had done. Our Star and Crescent Society is still upholding its reputation for good programs under Miss Henderson. At one of its meet- ings of the last term, Mr. Rolfe, of Chicago University, gave us an interesting talk on Oxford, and illustrated it by many views of the college and its surroundings. At another meeting we had a Kipling program, when many of Kipling's writings in poetry and prose were read and enjoyed, the more because we all had a closer interest in him on account of his almost mortal illness. Before the Parliament, our new debating club, we have had a talk on Harvard, by Mr. Coleman, one of the faculty of our school, and again a lecture on University of California by Mrs. Frick, our vice-principal, both of which lectures gave us an in- sight into what life will be when we enter college. Once Lee Emerson Bassett gave us several selections from Riley, and again Miss Florence Field, an example of home talent, entertained us with recitations in that irresistible way of hers. C. K. J., S. ,QQ. 1bi5torx3 of wut 1b1gb School. RIOR to 1873 High Schools were scarce in California g there were but six in the State, and none south of Tehachapi Pass. Los Angeles was a small town, but its educational needs were growing, and the people wanted some higher branches taught than the fundamental three R.'s. The authorities were not sure whether we could support a school or not, but Hnally were con- vinced, and gave us our High School in ,73. Dr. W. T. Lucky was made Principal and Superintendent of Schools 3 he was the first professional teacher to hold the latter office, all the previous incumbents being either from the bar or the ministry. Miss Emma Hawkes assisted him in his school duties, she having charge of one room, These two were the pioneers of the High :School of this city 5 there was a building erected for it, but as it was yet so small, all but two rooms were occupied by the gram- mar grades. These two rooms saw the beginning of our now great school. The building was of wood, and stood on the site of the present Court House, but was moved in 1887 further up the hill, where it now stands. With several additions, it is still used for one department, the commercial, of the school, and we -call it the Sand-street building. The course was of three years, and in '75 the Brst class finished its work, and graduated with seven members, tive of whom were young ladies. This class, indeed, seems small in comparison with the present class of '99, with 125 graduates. What an in- crease this is, and at the same rate what will the classes be at the end of another quarter century! Why, it will then require a building as large as the present for the Seniors alone. The class of '76 were four in number, and all girls. What a dull time they must have had at their class parties! What fun could they have without the boys? We think that they, at least, found out to their sorrow that boys, after all, are not so much in the way as some of the fairer sex seem to suppose, and that they are not utterly bad. Dr. Lucky held his two positions till 1876, when he was suc- ceeded by C. H. Kimball, and he, in turn, by Mrs. Chloe B, jones, in '80, She held her oiiices but one year, although she continued teaching in the school for three years, while her suc- cessor, Mr. I. M. Guinn, was principal ex-officio. Mr. Guinn is authority on the history of the schools of the city, and we are greatly indebted to him for our information on the origin of our High School, and extend our thanks to him for the interest he has taken in helping us in this article. Mr. Guinn supervised the methods of the school, but took no part in the teaching. In '82 he, with the aid of Professor Moses, now head of History in U. C., President Kellogg of U. C., and Professor jackson, a late teacher of literature in the same college, revised the existing courses of the High School so as to prepare the pupils for entrance to that university in the Freshman year. The courses have since been greatly amplified and lengthened, and a commercial department organized. In 1889 the school was placed on the ac- credited list in eighteen subjects, the highest number possible. By an Accredited Subject we mean one in which a pupil doing suiiiciently good work is recommended, and can enter the university without the entrance examinations. During Mr. Guinn's term it was found that, owing to the growth of the schools, the two oliices were too much for one man to try to iill, so at the next election, in the winter of '83-4, L. D. Smith was chosen for the oiiice of Superintendent of Schools, and F. H. Clark for that of Principal of the High School. Mr. Clark is now head of the History Department in the Boys' High School of San Francisco. Our school was now rapidly outgrow- ing its two rooms, and therefore part of the pupils were sent to Leek's Hall, on Main street, near Third 5 also those of the ninth grade, who were residents of East Los Angeles, went to school on the East side to Mrs. Graham. In several instances the ninth grade was taught with the grammar grades, and then the school was indeed in a scattered condition, and to cap the climax the High School building was needed for the lower grades, so the rightful owners were compelled, in 1885, to End a new home. This time they found a place on the second iloor of the Spring- street building, between Fifth and Sixth. At this time, too. a little German church on Spring street, between Sixth and Seventh, was rented for the ninth grade. The faculty now numbered live, the ninth grade being divided. At last in 1889 our present High School was built to accommo- date about six hundred pupils, though there were but four hun- dred then in attendance. We have grown in numbers steadily till now we have thirteen hundred students and a faculty of thirty-seven. Already we have outgrown our building and are doing our best to get a new one, which we hope to see in the near future. Our principals, since Mr. Clark, were Miss Elizabeth A. Packard, now vice-principal and head of English in Oakland High School 5 Mr. Cates, and finally our present much respected Mr. Housh, who has exercised his authority during his four years as principal so wisely and agreeably to all, and who we hope will continue in his position for a long time to come. Of the present faculty, Miss Dunham has been longest con- nected with the school, having been elected in 1884, and assigned to teach in the ninth grade, when that class was quartered in Leek's Hall. She has been for several years class teacher of the Senior A's. In 1886 Mrs. Erick, now vice-principal and head of the English Department, entered the faculty. Her work brings her into intimate relations with the Senior classes. Other teach- ers who have served long and faithfully in training the successive classes, are Miss Brigham, Miss Wooster, Miss Huston, and Miss Davis. The remainder of the High School teachers may be said to have joined the faculty at comparatively recent dates. We can't tell the history of the school without mentioning the Star and Crescent Literary Society, for it is a part of the school, having been formed in 1879, and it has been growing with the school since that time. Its Hrst president was Mary E. Foy. In the early times the object of the society was to drill the members in debates, declamations and essays, and every member was required to take part, but as the number increased it became too large for this, since all the pupils except those of the ninth grade were members and the original intention had to be given up, and some exercise had to be selected which should be agree- able to such large numbers. Therefore the prime intention grew to be entertainment, not instruction, except where the latter can be inserted in such small quantities that its presence is not rea- lized by the .audience. The membership is now about five hun- dred. There is one practice which has become custom by its long standing, and that is of presenting to the graduating class on closing day a gold pin in the design of a star and crescent, on which is engraved the ,date and L. A. H. S. The proudest day of the student's life is when he receives this distinguishing mark of his connection with the High School. CLINTON K. JUDY, S. '99. 'lbl5tOI'Q of the Ziluilllfel' C1355 of '00 HE history of the Winter Class of 'oo is like the histories of the princesses in the fairy tales. Some malignant fairy is not invited to the christening, and comes uninvited, and, angered by the neglect, decrees that, until the princess is eighteen a malignant fate shall pursue her, and then, if certain conditions are fulfilled, she shall live happy ever afterward. The malignant fairy in the case of W. 'oo was not a fairy at all. It was a day. The class came into existence on Friday, and that day spoiled all its bright prospects, until it should grow up into a Senior B Class, and until it should have three success- ive class meetings without doing any business. That was the limit set, so it was believed. The history of the class so far has been entirely in accordance with this unfortunate decree. Its reverses started the very first day of its life as a class. When it came to the High School it was sent to the auditorium and kept there long hours, and then told that there was no room in the High School building, and that it would have to go to the Sand-street building to sit. Con- sider the indignity of it, after having looked forward so long Qeight yearsj to growing up into High School people I The next misfortune that befel it was crushing, because it wounded the dignity. The class, wishing to choose a class color, asked to have a class meeting. It was told, most scornfully, that B Q,S can't have class meetings. After much trouble it did have a class meeting, but the joy was gone from it because the call was informed that it could use the colors only for the coming Fiesta week. Then, too, after it had tasted the full bitterness of being exiled to Sand street, it was brought back to the High School building to undergo the other misery of being teased by the upper classes. A class can stand, and many classes have stood, the teasing, but the two are more than any ordinary class could survive. W. 'oo is no ordinary one. It survived. The rest of the ninth year, the class lived on its hopes of hav- ing class meetings when it grew to be a Junior, and on the assur- ance that, inasmuch as junior classes always are a power in the Star and Crescent elections, it would be courted and petted and made happy the coming term. But, alas ! just before it attained C R if Txii. SKY' Ethel Musgrove Moye Stephens Margaret Cornwall Adele Sentous the junior dignity, a decree went out that there were to be no more class meetings except in the Senior year. On top of that, when Star and Crescent elections drew near, it was discovered that the junior A Class was larger than the junior B, the W. 'oo, and as size is the only thing that makes a Junior class a power, of course the junior B Class that year was not worth considering. It got no petting and no courting. It was almost forgotten. Through the rest of the junior and Middle years it made only spasmodic efforts, usually unsuccessful. It ran four oliicers for Star and Crescent, and three of them were defeated. But it was shown then that, when it did do anything that thing was sure to be worth doing. The one ofiicer that was elected from the class was the most successful of all Star and Crescent secretaries. When W. 'oo got to be a Senior B Class, it was Blled with joy because it felt sure that its term of misfortune was almost ended according to the prophecy. It immediately set about electing its oflicers, and, I suppose because it felt so cheerful about it, that election of officers was the very most successful thing it had ever done. Then it started on new enterprises. It had to choose a color. Then a horrible suspicion came upon it. The prophecy said that the class was to live happily ever after it had had three successive class meetings without transacting any business. And with such a great deal of work to do, the very character of the class showed that such a thing was an impossibility. W. 'oo was much too energetic. But the color question was still open, and prophecy or no prophecy it must be settled. Those days following were awful days. Mile after mile did that class walk in search of colors, meeting after meeting did it have, motion after motion did it rescind 5 and the secretary's book for that period is as exciting as a history of the Napoleonic wars. It linally chose, and its choice made all the other classes turn green with envy and blue with despair to think that they had lost the chance of having such class colors. Then it turned to amusement. It planned three, ive, seven- multitudes of picnics-and it rained. It planned tally-ho rides- and it blew. It planned trips to the beach-and it was cold. Finally it went to Eastlake Park and had a picnic--and it was de- lightful, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Then there came a space or time when there was nothing to do, and, without any- 'Quljnter Glass of 'OO ,, 4'f'Z 2?'fZ' .f ,-W.. . ' i f g g .i . . re www ! f' one s noticing it, three class meetings at which there was no busi- ness transacted, passed and the spell was broken. Everything since then has been beautiful 5 everything delight- ful and peaceful. The most successful was a class party at the home of Clara Walton. In spite of the class' predisposition, born of reverses, to criticise, that party satisfied everyoneg and not only satisied but very much pleased them. Next comes a picnic to Terminal Island, and as yet, our fancy can only picture how delightful that will be. The prophecy said not only that the class would live happily, but that it would live forever afterward. May it be so. At least all indications look that way. Two things in its colors make it look so. The colors are blue and green, and whenever anyone looks out of the Window he is sure to see some samples of those colors in the blue of the sky and the green of the trees. The whole world is decked with the colors of the Winter Class of '00, MARGUERITE HENDERSON, W. 'oo.

They are looked upon with a certain feeling of awe as having passed through the four years of the High School and still survived. We find them now following all sorts of professions 3 many of them have already made names for themselves. The girls, having fewer advantages than the boys are consequently not brought so prominently before the public, but are probably doing as good work in other fields. It seems that law is the favorite profession of the graduates. The following are among those who have chosen this profession : Henry O'Melveny, '75, Leslie R. Hewett, '85, U. C. '9o. Moye G. Norton, '87, Walter F. Haas, '89, is now city attorney. Russ A. Avery, '90, U. C. ,Q4, Cum Laude '97, Harvard. J. Darwin Gish, '92, U- C. '96. Will P. James, ,Q2. Albert Stephens, ,Q3.

Clarence Thompson, '97, Asa Keyes, ,Q7. . Many of the Alumni are teachers 1 Mary E. Foy, '79, is now traveling in Europe, but is a teacher in our High School. Clara Stolltenberg, 82, a graduate of Stanford, is now an in- structor of Physiology there. Margaret Phillipson, '83, is in the faculty of the Los Angeles High School. Gertrude Henderson, ,QO, is an English teacher in our High School. Marion Whipple, '94, U. C. '98, is teacher of English in the San Diego High School. Bertha Oliver, ,92, U. C. '96, is in the High School. Of those who have chosen medicine as their profession : Carl Kurtz, '86, is one of our Well known physicians. V Edmund Lazard, ,Q4, is in Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn. Richard B. Chapman, ,93, is a physician in Alaska. Among the graduates, A. M. Edelman, '78, is a prominent architect in Los Angeles. S. T. Norton, '95, is rapidly becoming an architect in the firm of Carrere 81 Hastings, N. Y. Several of the graduates have made good records, and various scholarships have been won by the former students of the Los Angeles High School : Christopher Ruess has won a scholarship at Harvard University. John P. Norton, '95, has won medals and a scholarship at Yale. Frank Goodenovv has a scholarship at U. C. Many of the later classes are studying at Stanford and Univer- sity of California. Among those receiving degrees at U. C. this year are : Receiving Bachelor of Arts-Thirmuthis A. Brookman and George W. McDill. Bachelor of Letters-Charles Seyler, Ir. Bachelor of Philosophy-Florence May Jones and Otto T. Wedemeyer. Bachelor of Science-Melville Dozier, Jr., and Maurice A. Newman. Bachelor of Law-Robert N. Frick and George A. Wright. Doctor of Medicine-Donald J. Frick. Some of the graduates of the H. S. have traveled to foreign lands : Harriet Longstreet is studying in Paris. Minnie S.

It is necessary that we should have such an institution in our school, for with- out it we could not very well enter into the diiferent field-days as a school, but each person would have to go into it as an indi- vidual. The students realize this, and the membership is rapidly increasing, for those who do not care to participate in the difer- ent sports are glad to give material support, in the way of dues, to those who do take part. The object of this organization is that we may be ready at any time to accept, as a school, any challenge sent to us by another school. Furthermore, it is the duty of the association to send delegates to the conventions of the Inter-scholastic Athletic Asso- ciation of Southern California, and to send representatives to all iield-days under the jurisdiction of that association. Never before has our school made such a brilliant record as it has this year. The season opened with football, and in this we won the championship of Southern California. Our success was due largely to Robert Campbell, our able manager, and to Walter Munday, our skillful captain. We played against the terrible San Diego team, as well as the Pomona, U. S. C., and several local teams. In nearly every game our team was outweighed, but in spite of this fact we were victorious in every instance, the score for the entire season being 71-o, and not once was our goal in serious danger. In tennis, also, we carried oif the championship. Our repre- sentatives, Trow Hendrick and Robert Variel, played with such skill and accuracy that they had a comparatively easy time of it. Thus two championship cups adorn the oiiice, and the prospects are good for more. The one which the football team won is of hand-painted china, with an engraved silver stand. The other one is a beautiful silver loving-cup, with gold lining, and a neat inscription on the outside to Trow Hendrick, the champion of the singles in the tennis tournament. Mr. Hendrick also won a very pretty silver medal for the singles, and both Hendrick and Variel won a Pim tennis racket for the doubles. We have plenty of material in our school for all branches of Trow Hendrick Philo L. Lindley Atthur G. Wynn Tom. R. Lee athletics 3 to be sure some of it is as yet in its rudimentary stage, but with training it could easily be developed. What we need is a gymnasium fully equipped with all of the modern appliances, and field for outdoor sports. These are neces- sary for the welfare of a High School, and it would not have been necessary for some of our students to leave school on ac- count of their health, if we had had them. If We could have these, they would he the means of developing what material We already have for athletics, and would bring out much more which as yet has not come to our notice. As it is, the boys must either train in the street or Walk two or three miles and then pay for the privilege of training. When at last we do get our much longed for gym , we will see a marked improvement in the mental and physical develop- ment of our girls as well as the boys, for mental and physical strength go hand in hand.

HE Interscholastic Tennis Tournament of Southern Cali- fornia was held on the courts of the Ojai Tennis Club, at Nordoif, Ventura county, April 14th and 15th last. Nordoff is situated in the beautiful and picturesque Ojai Valley, and it looked very pretty after the rains. Twelve High, Normal and private schools were represented. The L. A. H. S. being repre- sented by Trow Hendrick in the singles and Hendrick and Variel in the doubles. The two grand stands facing the four courts were artistically decorated with poppies, luxines, mustard and greens, and with light blue and gold, the colors of the Ojai Tennis Club. During each afternoon ice-cream and cake were served. Play commenced Friday morning, at nine o'clock, with the singles. Williams, Redlands High School, defeated Sheffield, Santa Barbara High School, 7-5, 6-2 5 Hendrick, L. A. H. S., defeated Lane, Alhambra H. S., 6-3, 6-43 Baker, Ventura H. S., defeated Sharp, Santa Paula H. S, 6-2, 6-rg Paul Rowan, L. A. Military Academy, defeated Hodge, San Diego H S., 6-3, 7-5, Neeley, San Diego Normal, defeated Redding- ton, S. B. Collegiate, 6-3, 2-6, 6-rg Gridley, Casa de Piedra, defeated Gale, Throop, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5. This completed the pre- liminary round of the tournament. At two o'clock the second round was called. Hendrick defeated Baker 9-7, 6-1. This was by far the most exciting single match of the tournament. The grand stand was illed with an enthusiastic crowd of sup- porters from Ventura, who yelled for Baker, while very few were there to cheer Hendrick. Neely defeated Rowan 6-o, 2-6, 7-5. In the semi-finals Hendrick defeated Williams 6-I, 6-2 3 Gridley defeated Neely 6-1, 6-o. The finals between Hendrick and Gridley were called at eleven o'clock Saturday morning. The grand stand was filled to over- flowing while many crowded round the courts, but it was with much disappointment that rnost of them witnessed the defeat of Gridley, by the score of 6-2, 6-2. This won for our school the silver loving-cup, donated by Mr. Farnam, and a silver medal for Hendrick. f In the preliminary round in the doubles, Hendrick and Variel, L. A. H. S., defeated Lane and Williams, Alhambra H. S., 7-5, 6 P 6-2. In the second round, Baker Brothers, V. H. S., defeated Gridley and Stevens, Casa de Piedra, 6-2, 7-5, Sheiiield and Moore, S. B. H. S., defeated Short Brothers, S. P. H. S., 6-4, 5-7, 8-6g Hendrick and Variel defeated Gale and Barnwell, Throop, 6-1, 6-1 3 Hodge and Luce, S. D. H. S., defeated Rowan and Grant, L. A. M. A., 9-7, 6-8, 6-2. In the semi-hnals, the Baker Brothers beat Sheflield and Moore, 6-1, 6-og Hendrick and Variel beat Hodge and Luce, 6-2, 6-1. The next match, the hnals in the doubles, between Baker Brothers and Hendrick and Variel, was the most exciting and evenly matched game of the tournament. The largest crowd of all turned out to see this match, and it was one of the most en- thusiastic that ever witnessed a game of tennis. They blew horns, beat drums, and yelled until the whole valley seemed to echo and re-echo. T The match was stubbornly fought until it was nearly too dark to see, when our boys hnally came out victorious by a score of 5-7, 7'5i 13-11- During the tournament some excellent exhibition tennis was played by the Hardy Brothers, of San Francisco, and Bell and Thatcher, from Southern California, and between the Misses Sutton, Dobbins and Hugus, from Pasadena. Saturday night a very pretty dance was given at the Casa de Peidra School, in honor of the tennis players, at which the prizes were awarded. ' After the dance an Interscholastic Tennis Association was formed, at which the following oilicers were elected: Mr. Hen- drick, president, Mr. Williams, Redlands, treasurer, and Mr. Gridley, Casa de Piedra, secretary. The tournament was a great success, for which we are all in- debted to Messrs. Thatcher, Farnam, Foster and Hubby, and all sincerely hope to see many repetitions in the future. F2 Che 1. El. lb. 5. JBHBRM 105811 team. UR High School has had an excellent basket ball team. The girls were all fond of athletics and took a great deal of interest in the exercise. Miss Scott, a teacher of physical culture, gave a talk at the High School one afternoon last year, she spoke especially of basket ball, this aroused so much interest that a few of the girls organized a team. A man, who had been a college athlete, and captain of a fine football team, acted as our coach and instructor. He understood the game thoroughly and we soon learned to play scientincally and well. Our gymnasium being small prevented us frorn having more than five girls on a side. There should be a center, two forwards and two guards. It is the duty of a center to keep the ball on the side for which she plays. The forwards are to throw the ball in the basket at every chance they get. The guards are sup- posed to take the ball from the forwards, and throw it back to their side. It should be understood that the guards of each side are placed on the opposing side and there perform their duty. A basket is hung hfteen feet from the wall at each end of the gymnasium. The two centers stand in the center, and the ball is thrown to them by the umpire. Then whichever center gets the ball, throws it to either of the forwards of her own side. The forwards try to throw the ball in the basket, unless they are pre- vented by the guards of the opposing side. When a forward throws the ball in the basket from the field it scores twoifor her side. When a foul is called on either side, the opposing side has a throw for the basket. The forward stands fifteen feet from the basket, and tries to get the ball into it. If she succeeds, it scores one for her side, if she misses, the game goes on. A foul consists in a player putting her arms around anyone, talking back to the umpire, running, or even walking with the ball when she gets it, or holding the ball more than ive seconds. If two hold the ball for more than ive seconds, the umpire stops the game. The umpire then throws to those two members. Each tries to catch the ball so as to throw it to her own side. The team played their first match game with the Cumnock, B. B. T. The young ladies from the Cumnock were also under the instruction of Miss Scott. This was very good for we had few disputes over rules and regulations. Our team won 5 score, 4-0. Our team was not challenge by the Marlborough team. The girls from Marlborough played out in the open air 3 the grounds being behind the school. As our school had never played out of a gym, we thought the others had an advantage over us, for we were used to having the ball bounce against the walls. The captain of their team was very strong and could throw a ball with greater force than anyone on our team. Another member of their team was so small that when she got the ball it was al- most impossible to take the ball away from her without making a foul by putting our arms around her. The other members corre- sponded to our members in size, height, etc. The game was a very exciting one 5 the teams proved to be so evenly matchedg it was interrupted several times by disputes, which were always settled by a compromise. The H. S. team won ! score, r-o. The Marlborough team did not seem to be satisned with this score, so challenged us a second time. The H. S. won, making a better score, 8-4. This was the last match game that our team played. School closed for the summer vacation, and some of our members grad- uated. When school began again in September, we organized a new team. We were disappointed in getting our same gymnasium, and also in securing another, the hall always containing gas or elec- tric fixtures which were breakable. We only practiced once and then our team seemed to break up. In the meanwhile, the Normal B. B. T. sent us a challenge, but under the circumstances we could not accept. This closed the history of the first High School B. B. T., and by present observations there are no signs of another being formed. GRACE LAUBERSHEIMER, S. '99.

The membership now numbers ifty. At the first meeting of this semester the question, Resolved, That the English Parliament was justined in beheading Charles I, was debated by Mr. Yarnell and Miss Garey on the affirmative, and Mr. Brooks on the negative. Mr. Brooks was elected best speaker. At the next meeting Mr. Cox and Miss Barnett debated against Mr. Wells and Miss Musgrove on the question, Resolved, That competitive convict labor be abolished. The subject was thor- oughly discussed, and Mr. Cox was elected best speaker. The last debate was given by Miss Turner and Mr. Walton on the aiiirmative and Mr. Boynton on the negative. The subject was, Resolved, That inherited wealth is detrimental to the best in- terests of the recipient. Miss Turner was elected best speaker. At one meeting a trial took the place of a debate. Mr. jona- than Bowler was tried on the charge of stuiiing the ballot-box. Mr. Judy, for the defense, so ably argued his case that the ver- dict was acquittal.

Boynton and Guy Stewart. Miss Nellie Winters, Miss Lena Turner and Mr. Samuel Kreider have read well written critics' reports. The critics were not afraid to criticise, and did so with no sparing hand. At nearly every meeting the members have engaged in Parlia- mentary practice, and there have been exciting times. The members are becoming quick to see the proper motions to make in order to get a bill through, and are quick to act. They are also becoming proficient in preventing the passage of a bill. In these drills the obstructionists have so far been successful. Per- haps this has been due to the kind of bills introduced. Motions to appropriate 32,000,000 from our treasury for a warship, to appoint a committee to interview the faculty and Board of Edu- cation concerning a vacation for the remainder of the term, to request ladies to remove their hats. Herbert F. True Nellie Vvinters Marv Pu tuam Oscar Brooks The Parliament has enjoyed many treats the past semester. Mr. Housh, at the Hrst meeting, spoke of the beneht to the members and to the school in having a literary society of so high a standard. He urged the young people that constitute its membership to cultivate the use of good English in extempora- neous speaking, and hoped that future orators, debaters and par- liamentarians might refer to the High School Parliament as the source of their training. At another meeting Mr. Coleman gave an interesting talk on Harvard from a student's point of view. Beautiful lawns and immense old trees furnish a charm to the landscape about Har- vard. He encouraged us with the belief that, with a few millions of expenditure and a few years of time, our own Berkeley might become as great. At the last meeting Mrs. Frick gave us a talk on the methods used in arranging for the inter-club debates. She impressed upon us the necessity of the participants making the drills valu- able by preparing themselves fully before hand on the subject under debate 3 of practicing openly such devices as the syllogism or the dilemma, and of studying the introductions to great speeches, so that they may learn from Burke and Webster how to secure the sympathy of the audience in advance. She ex- pressed her belief that much benefit is to be derived from extem- poraneous addresses, but said that the extemporaneous addresses of great speakers are the result of long and hard study on the subject. The humorists, Tom Barnes, Lee Emerson Bassett and Flor- ence Field, have entertained us with readings. Several of the readings have been from james Whitcomb Riley. During the past semester the Commercial Course Debating Club and the High School Parliament have become better acquainted through the interchange of visits, and in the near future there is to be a debate between the two clubs. Mr. True has presided with dignity and justice, and has made manifest his profound knowledge of Parliamentary law. We earnestly hope that the High School Parliament will con- tinue to improve.

Through the ehforts of its manager, the services of a professional director and instructor have been secured, Mr. Wm. H. Meade, well known in musical circles in Los Angeles as an artistic per- former and able instructor upon the flute and piccolog he has shown his ability as director of the First Congregational Or- chestra. Under this direction our orchestra has already shown marked improvement by the increased interest of its members. lt is hoped that this will establish a precedent for the orchestra's employing upon its own responsibility an experienced director, which can- not fail to result in the permanent establishment of such a desir- able factor in our school. An enlarged membership, together with an increased apprecia- tion in the school of its eiforts, promises for the orchestra a phe- nomenal success. The membership consists as follows : Mr. Wm. H.

It was instituted for purely scientific purposes. It requires a vast amount of knowledge to become a member of this club and derive any beneht from it, and for this reason it is composed of Senior Als. All members must be thor- oughly proiicient in Latin, Greek, mathematics, and at least one of the modern languages. He must devote two hours on school days and all day Saturday upon the labors incident upon the members of this organization. A very fine and valuable collection of views has been accumu- lated, and upon application to any of the members and a fee of one dollar, any one will be allowed to see them. The club has constructed a photographic laboratory in room 16, at a very great expense. We take our photographs to this laboratory and operate upon them with chemicals and acids, and are thus enabled to foretell events. By the photographs taken at Devil's Gate we find that Los Angeles will have a new High School when the boys of the Summer Class of ,QQ become mem- bers ofthe Board of Education. The results obtained from some views taken at Terminal Island will be found in the Class Prophecy. Some of the members are very proficient in astronomical pho- tography. Roy Hillman took some views of his home and a beautiful rose-bush which he raised himself. During Institute a representative of the club went to Santa Barbara to take some photographs of the old Mission and the beautiful scenery in the vicinity. Some of these were sent East and have created such a great excitement there that a great many people, who had been scared out by the smallpox, are coming out here with the N. E. A. to see the originals and other beautiful scenery. IIBicQcIe Glub jfribag Elft6t'l100n JBiCQCl6 Glub. HE Bike Club of happy memory was organized in the spring of 1899, under the guidance ,of Miss Florence Dunham, teacher of the Senior A Class. It is one of the branches of the Delta Sigma Delta, from which great things are to be expected. The object of the club is, Q15 to enjoy itself, and C25 to form stronger friendship among the girls of the Senior A Class. There has long been a need for an organization of this character in our school to aid the growth and development of physical ex- ercise among the girls, causing rosy cheeks and good health. The haunts of the club are in the foothills and similar pictur- esque places, where many rides will be taken every Friday after- noon, all worry being laid aside on these occasions. There are many trick riders in this club, and the members are entertained with racing, coasting, and similar performances. The club enjoyed their irst ride to Hollywood Friday, April 28. One of the events of the day was a one-mile bicycle race. There were four contestants in this, Florence Norton, Beatrice Snow, Rowena Moore, and Edith Phillips. Rowena Moore was an easy winner in the short time of one minute and forty-five seconds. The rest closely followed, time one minute fifty-five seconds. The winner was awarded a large bag of chewing QQ candy, which she gener- ously divided among the members. After enjoying themselves to the utmost, they came back very much pleased with their first ride. The charm of the club is that no dues are levied. EDITH PHILLIPS,SL1H1I11C1' ,QQ. Che EGUEI Sigma ECUIH. HE Delta Sigma Delta is a society recently organized in the Senior A Class, composed exclusively of Senior A girls. The society organized with Helen North, Edith Phillips, Beatrice Snow, Mary Putnam, Rowena Moore, Florence Field and Flor- ence Norton as charter members. One after another the names of the Senior A girls were added to the roll as they underwent the dread rites of initiation. Only those who were obliged to pass through this terrible ordeal, from which they emerged with a resigned expression on their faces but otherwise in a most dis- reputable condition, can tell how awful it was. The society is represented by the Greek letters A 2 A whose significance is very appropriate to the Senior A girls. The color chosen was pink and the pink carnation as the emblematic Hower. A pink satin ribbon tied around the left wrist is used as the symbol until a more suitable one can be decided upon. The society was organized incidentally to promote sociability among the girls of the Senior A Class, but primarily to form an association through which a scholarship is to be established in the University of California for the girls of the High School. This association is to be an auxiliary of the Delta Sigma Delta, but will be open for membership to all the girls of the High School. Aside from the dues, various methods have been devised to raise money, which, however, cannot be given here. This project, we think, should receive the support of all of the girls of our school, and aid also from others who are concerned in the advancement of our young people.

In 1895 it started in a small room in the High School build- ing as a two years course, but speedily outgrew its quarters, and in 1896 was removed to the Sand-street building, where it yet re- mains. About that time the course of instruction was changed from two years to three. The ive large rooms are now crowded, and another change will soon be necessary. The aim of the Commercial Course is not only to teach the scholar how to typewrite, take notes or keep a set of book-keep- ing books, but to inculcate the general principles of a business education, and to make the student a good citizen. Much interest is being shown by the pupils in the coming National Educational Association, and their typewriting and shorthand exhibit will be of especial value to all commercial teachers or those interested in commercial schools. Two hundred and seventy-ive students have been enrolled in the Course this term. Ed. Nolan DeForest Reichard Bonnie Clay Suzanne Durnerin E. W. Fuller Dan W. Knoll Walter A. Ellis Leon S.

The originators of the society, which, in the Commercial Course of the High School, takes the place of the Star and Crescent, in the other- building, thought it possible to combine pleasure with profit. They held it to be no more difficult, and certainly more satisfactory, to enact programs of such a nature, that dealing with serious questions, and topics of the day, would develop the minds and the oratorical powers of those who participated in them. They also thought that sufficient entertainment could be worked into the programs to insure holding the interest of the members, and promote the growth of the society. One of the principal means of this latter end was to be the music furnished by the orchestra, of which the Commercial Course is so proud. These public spirits have succeeded beyond their best hopes. The Ionian Society has now reached such a size that its membership com- prises the entire school above the ninth year, and its meetings, held every month, are attended by almost the full roster of the society, as well as by many visitors. Owing to the organization, almost, if not all, of the members have an opportunity to serve on the program, at some time in the school year. The last program rendered was a fair example of what Ionian programs usually are. The incoming officers who had not been sworn in at the last meeting took the oath of office. The outgoing president, Mr. I. L. Van Norman, was presented with the Lignum-Vitae Gavel of last term, which had been bound with a silver band, and suitably inscribed. President Ellis made the presentation in a neat speech, to which Mr. Van Norman responded in a few well chosen remarks. A general debate upon Resolved, that the United States is justified in her war against the Filipinos claimed the atten- tion of the members. Some two dozen debaters did most of the arguing, but all had a word or two to say. The result of the dis- cussion was a matter for individual decision. Routine business gave Mr. Schulman and others a brilliant parliamentary battle, which those worthies made the most of. Business was transacted, and adjournment taken.

F constant application and practice leads to perfection, then the members of the Commercial Course Orchestra may well feel that they are on the road to it. This orchestra was formed in the month of March, 1898, and With very discouraging prospects, but it was soon seen that it contained some talent that defied discouragement, and its exist- ence has been one of constant pleasure and improvement to each and every one of its members.

Although We are a school orchestra, we have not confined our- selves vvithin the narrow limits of the school walls. Our music may be heard at sundry meetings of the Schoolmaster's Club, and many other social gatherings, where our playing has been greatly applauded and appreciated. This also has done much toward acquainting the public with the fact that there is a Commercial Course in the Los Angeles High School. V The refreshing music of the orchestra has done much to relieve the monotony and improve the programs of the Ionian Society, and the members of the society have shown their appreciation of the orchestra's efforts in many ways.

The meetings are well attended and great interest is taken in its work. The purpose of the club is not only to give its members facility in debating the leading questions of the day, but also to enable them to become adepts in Parlia- mentary law. The casual visitor might be astounded upon hear- ing a resolution to return a vote of thanks to a certain mem- ber amended so as to read a vote of censure, and the amend- ment ably defended by some of the members, but this is only to give the boys and girls skill in seeking the advantages or defects in Parliamentary questions. Some of the members are marvels, indeed, when it comes to putting questions or stating obj ections. The meetings are held every other Tuesday afternoon imme- diately after school, and visitors are always Welcome. Some of the most interesting questions discussed by the Club at various times during the year have been: Resolved, that the United States should hold the Philippines 3 That the negroes of the South should be deprived ofthe right of suffrage 5 That labor unions are detrimental to the country, and That immigration should be further restricted. Several interesting essays have also been read. A short time since the High School Parliament visited the Club and took an active part in the meeting, and at present Writing the Club is considering a challenge from the Parliament to a joint debate. The officers of the Club are I. M. Danziger, president, B. F. Hopkins, vice-president 3 Miss Emily E. Young, secretary 3 Miss Mazeppa Guyer, treasurer, and B. F. Hopkins, E. L.

The boys of the graduating class gave a unique version of a progressive party Friday evening, May 5th, to the girls of their class. There are twelve boys and only four girls, making it im- possible to give an ordinary party. The girls were invited to An Evening with Four Chapters at the home of De Forest Reichard, where they found four of the boys, After refreshments, they were taken to the home of W. A. Ellis, and from there to the home of D. W. Knoll, four different boys acting as hosts at each place. The four teachers of the Course, Messrs. Francis, Wag- ner, Carlson and Brown, acted as hosts at the fourth place, the home of E. W. Fuller, for a few moments, when the folding doors were opened and all the boys were discovered in the next room. Ice cream and cake was served, and souvenirs of the occasion were given the girls. The decorations at each place were in the class colors, red and white. The event was especially enjoyable on account of its being a genuine surprise to the girls. A jolly crowd of eight couple, chaperoned by Milton Carlson and wife, went on a tally-ho ride to Devil's Gate, April 22d. After a pleasant drive through the surrounding country, includ- ing a stop-over at Verdugo Park, the party returned to the city in excellent spirits. The party consisted of Misses Ryder, Camp- bell, Dana, Arnaelstein, Fairbanks, Russell, Handley and Linden- feld. Messrs. Canheld, Rees, Grayson, McCarty, Miller, Raleigh, Danziger and Salyer, and Mr. and Mrs. Carlson. The most en- joyable event of the day was the charge of the Spanish Cavaliers at Verdugo Park g they charged 31.50 as toll for the use of the park. In response to a mysteriously worded invitation given them by the girls, the boys of the graduating class presented themselves at the door of Room 5, Sand-street building, Thursday, April Qoth, at noon, where they were handsomely entertained by the girls. Refreshments were served and toasts were given by the teachers a.nd members of the class. One beautiful day in April, a happy, expectant group of stu- dents of the C. C. might have been seen at Fourth street wait- ing for the too slow Pasadena car to carry them to Rubio Canon, where the most magnificent scenery of Southern California is sup- posed to be found. Many were the pleasant events of the jour- ney. 0ur genial friend and teacher, Mr. Brown, played the part of candy advertiser and distributed lemon drops to the fair ones. When the last curve was turned and the pavilion was in sight, the C. C. yell sounded and resounded in the narrow canon. Soon the delightful climb to the top was in order. After safely de- positing the lunches where they do the most good, games of many descriptions were played on the highly polished floor of the pa- vilion. After a very enjoyable day, the party returned on the four o' clock train with Mr. Francis as escort. The excursion was one to be long remembered by all the participants. The L. M. U., a Commercial Course fraternity, was feasted with a banquet held in Room 5, Sand-street building, Thursday, May 17. About fifteen were present. Mr. Francis was the guest of the Club. GOIUUICYCIHI Course ID6I'i5Ol1Hi5. Miss Ryder is anxious to know the meaning ofthe pleasant UD rice shower that she received the other day from one of the illus- trious Seniors.

Oh ! those bewitching blue eyes of Miss Dana's. Yum ! Yum ! Why is Earl Tubbs like a ball of twine? Because he is wrapped up in himself. Any person wishing to iind an easy way to get a hair-cut and shave should call on Mr. Griswold. Everybody is invited to the next meeting of the Commercial Course Debating Club. The principal feature will be a jewett Qduetj by Danziger and Schulman. They will introduce two new keys into the musical world, I-key and I-key. Mr. Schulman wants it strictly understood that his name is not K' Poke Chops. VVonldn't Hedderly make a ine lamp-post. We had a real good josh on Dan Knoll-how he and Van Norman used to go with the girls-but Dan has been sick, lately, and we are afraid he can't stand it in his present Weak state, so we leave it out. Some comment has been made upon the fact that the scrubbs wander about the hall with open mouths. It does not only in- jure the general appearance of the students, but it is a positive menace to microbes. Don't do it any more, boys, please don't. Mr. Hopkins needs to take a few lessons in arm-swinging, or his success as a debater will come to a sudden finish. The second Czar Reed will be found in the Commercial Course in the shape of Mr. Danziger. Hedderly is law-abiding, if nothing else. A little while ago he drew pen sketches of ducks by the wholesale, but now, since the duck season has closed, he has given up murdering the things and draws conclusions instead. Schulman- Get thee behind me, Satan. Canield- Go to Iersusalemf' Van Norman-K' I tell you, I like brunettes. Everything is coming my weigh, said King, when two of the boys told him that they had gained two pounds in as many weeks. The boys in the B I r Class seem to be having black eyes and red noses all of a sudden g rather suspicious, isn't it? Some boys who are worth a million dollars in college currency lack even three cents to get their collars done up. Itis a wonder the boys wouldn't take their manners with them when they go on a picnic. Ask Van Norman about that snap-shot picture he carries in his purse. Eugene Conway was well supplied at the picnic, with only four girls. Q. ?,.:,-.. ,I --A ,... ... ,A w g Z dk Q ff ,f aff - w J? 5 2 xxqwulfmy ,ff : Y , f f W XV ,::', ziglfff ', K 'Xt -i fl, .

Just think, my last term of school I I can hardly realize it, for as yet I have done nothing to distin- guish myself, Never mind, I will have to be valedictorian or something of the sort, or I shall sadly disappoint the family. I really am in earnest when I say I am going to work, and I intend to leave this school with everybody regretting my depart- ure. To further help me in my studies, I am going to keep this little diary. Nobody is ever to see it, as it is to be my own strict private property and a daily guide to all my hard work during the term. A February Nth. Today the new term began, and the whole Senior A Class moved into sixteen. My! how proud we were when everybody turned their admiring eyes toward us. I felt at least two inches taller. After Miss Dunham gave us a dear little talk about the dignity of Seniors, their aims and aspirations, we settled down to work. Everybody seems to help me in my endeavors. I have a splendid seat in the Annex, with nobody at all to talk to but Roy and Earle and Harry and Kitty and Florence and Philo and Grace, and a few others, and of course they won't bother me. February 2241. Twelve o'clock, and I am almost dead. There seems to be nothing but work, work, work from morn till night, and no pleasure whatever. Its dreadfully discour- aging. Today has been a busy day for me. Got up early this morning and prepared my lunch Ca poor one tooj and arrived at the depot about 8:30, Already about sixty were waiting. It was a gala day, our first Senior A picnic. The car was beauti- fully decorated in pink and green, and after seven great freezers of ice-cream had been lifted on board the train whistled and we all made a rush. Miss Dunham arrived just in time, and I am so glad she did, for she is such a jolly chaperon. Just as we were about to start, I looked out of the window, much to Mary's dis- may, and say a group of girls and one lone boy standing over in the corner. I rushed frantically to the back platform and ges- ticulated wildly to them to hurry 5 they thought something had happened, ran toward me, and I saw I had made a mistake, it was the Lambda Theta Phi picnic, and when the boy lifted his hat, I was not at all surprised to see Carl Tufts. He said he was going to look after them, and I told him he could go on one con- dition and that was that he should tell me about it afterwards. I knew he would go anyway, but thought it a good chance to find out about everything. The bell clanged and away we started. At Sycamore Grove Miss Huston boarded thetrain, and the clamor that greeted her l Yells-school, class and individu- als, all merged into one grand shout of welcome. ' For about forty minutes, trees, fences and houses whizzed past us, then the conductor came in shouted two or three inco- herent words, and a little station came to a standstill in front of us. VVe trooped oil' and, after about ten minutes' walk, we entered the beautiful Devil's Gate. VVe deposited our baskets and started for a tramp over the hills, returning at I2 to find a delicious luncheon spread out under the trees. I took boiled eggs because I thought they would be appropriate, but they were such funny looking things, and I was so ashamed of them that I just pushed them over the bank when nobody was looking.. For about ifteen minutes you could have heard a pin drop, then a long shout told that the various appetites had been appeased. In the afternoon our pictures were taken in all manner of styles and descriptions. And once I almost broke my neck trying to get into the most prominent place. Earle rigged up a toboggan slide, and quite a good many of the girls enjoyed the delightful sport. Everyone seemed to forget that he or she was a senior, and all manner of fun was indulged in. At four we returned, dirty and worn out, but thoroughly happy 5 in fact, I never had a better time in my life. Although I was so tired, I had to dress for the Gamma Gamma Phi fancy dress hop. I never had a better time in all my life. Evangeline Perr.y's house is just the one for such festivities, and I am so glad they had it there. I went as Martha Washington, and two or three times during the evening I wondered if George would have recognized me if he had stepped in. The music was especially good and the pro- grams too sweet for anything-double hearts tied with black ribbons. I don't know that they were especially appropriate, but I must say they were very, very pretty. Coming home in the car I met Carl and he told me about the picnic. I The morning was spent in swimming and rowing, and, as far as he knew, only one fell overboard. He didn't seem to know much about the afternoon, and I sadly fear he went for a stroll on the beach. just as I was getting off he said something about two mascots, a special cars and frat yells, but I think he was joshing. P.S. Recited in English Friday. March 12th. Yesterday I had a splendid day, one after my own heart. Went to a A I X meeting in the afternoon, and any one who-knows the girls knows what that means. The business meeting was splendid, perfect order 5 why, actually, two or three times I heard the gavel. Being Adele's first, of course, she just outdid herself. The front part of the house was not decorated at all, but when we stepped into the dining-room-I held my breath, violets every place, a hot-house of violets--mantel, table and buffet were loaded down with the purple blossoms, and here and there smilax and asparagus plumosus were caught up with great loops and knots of ribbon. We had heard of Mrs. Brodtbeck's luncheons, but this surpassed all our expectations. We adjourned to the parlor, and I laughed until I almost cried watching the girls dance. I slipped away while Mabel Ferguson was singing, as I had promised Lucy Sinsibaugh and Mabel Hill to be at their dinner. Mabel's charming home was thrown open for the occasion. Being an outsider I could not be present at their business meeting in the afternoon, but when supper was announced I was almost the Hrst in the dining-room. Gold, green and white are their colors, and they were never used to better advantage. The color scheme was carried out in the graceful Cherokee rose. Long sprays were trailed over the table, and in the center was a tall vase of snowy blossoms, resting on a piece of Battenberg lace over green satin. The place cards were green and gold, and the supper was delicious. There was quite an air of mystery added when I was told that they were to entertain the young gentlemen in the evening. Who they were was to be a secret, but when I looked around the beautiful board and saw the rosy and conscious face of each and every Lambda Theta Phi, I could guess pretty closely. P.S. Oh, that Physics X tomorrow 5 let me see, positive attracts and negative repels. I wonder what it means to be posi- tively attractive. Seems to me I heard somebody say something about it. I guess I'll ask Roy. Ma,-ch 25th. The classes are beginning to entertain, and one of the swellest functions of the week was the Senior A. Progressive Salamagundi Party. Opal McClary's home on Twenty-third street was exquisitely decorated by the girls of the class. The drawing-rooms were in pink and green, the dining-room in red, and then there was a perfect love of a conservatory nlled with great tall palms and trailing vines, while here and there it was softly illuminated with japanese lanterns. As each one came down stairs a large class pin, the handiwork of Florence Norton, was hung around his neck. They were all inscribed with names, and immediately Ivanhoe sought his Rowena, Max his Pearl, Robin Hood his Maid Marian, and so on. It seemed rather strange to see Adam talking to Mrs. Malaprop, and Eve flirt- ing desperately with Nero, but it all happened that way. After the games we all danced, or rather the rest danced, and I tried to look as if I didn't care, while I almost broke my back holding up the Wall. Philo Lindley and Isabelle Denker cake-walked beautifully, once or twice Florence Field was forced to appear. Harry Walton and Earle Anthony delighted everybody by play- ing the same piano duet several times, and Max Enderlein, after the proper amount of hesitation, decided to honor us, and finally jigged so long that we had to propose recitations to stop him. Oh ! I forgot to say that Stella Schmidt won the first prize, and Sammy Kreider was as happy as a little child when he received a much-beribboned' pig full of bon-bons. But the best thing of all was the roof. The house is delightfully old and spooky, with dark winding stairways and black corners. Of course I went out on the roof, but only to study astronomy, and now I am so glad that I did, because I can find the north star. Memoranda. Must use my knowledge in the astronomy class to- morrow. Won't the Professor be surprised, though? I was just about getting stiff from lack of exer- cise when I received an invitation to the matinee dance. And how glad I was. The programs were lovely and everybody was there. Philo Lindley and Thomas Lee got it up, but I don't believe it was in honor of only two girls -the boys are not selfish enough. Mrs. S. K. Lindley, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Guinne chaperoned. CCaedmon was the first political writer 5 lived quite a good many years ago. Baeda told about him. They are both dead now.j 8 April 11th. April Nth. The Senior A's are doing their best to enjoy them- selves, and they couldn't have chosen a better plan than the bicycle ride. We went to Pasadena on the Termi- nal, partook of an appetizing supper, had a jolly little dance and returned on our wheels. Miss Dunham and Arthur Wright on a tandem acted as the captains of the company, and I think Mr. Wright especially deserves credit for the way the whole was managed. There were about Hfteen single wheels, and half as many tandems, and it was perfectly natural that a few should come to grief. Beatrice Snow and Edward Calder were rather in- convenienced by having Stella Schmidt and john Lashbrooke ride over them. Florence Field, who usually has brown eyes, appeared the next day with one black one. This ride started a new fad, as several of the boys have the daintiest watch fobs imaginable-gold set with the pearliest bits of teeth, too pretty for anything. No one was severely hurt and everyone had a splendid time. I havn't written in my diary for four days 5 how careless I have been, but then anyone would excuse me if he knew how hard I have worked. Oh, it was so funny. Uncle and I were returning from the theater the other evening and stopped at Levy's for a few oysters, and what do you think we tumbled into? Nothing less than a frat meeting. I was quietly nibbling a cracker when I heard the sonorous sounds of a voice quite familiar to me percolating through the key-hole. He evidently said something funny, for all the boys laughed. He cleared his throat, andY Did you say salad, Miss ? I' Oh ! that waiter ! Plague him 5 he spoiled everything, just as I was about to hear something interesting, too. I couldn't restrain my curiosity, so I asked him about the occupants of the next room. Oh! mighty line, Miss, mighty ine gentlemen 5 all purple and red. Then he disappeared. Purple and red gentlemen. Was he crazy? I wonder what he meant. I have pondered over it all evening. Perhaps he was speaking about the decorations, yes, that must have been it, but who would have such a combination. Oh I I know-it was the Pi Delta Koppas, and the voice-belonged to Pembroke Thom. How foolish I was not to think of it sooner. The G. E. K. dinner at Philo Lindley's was not the sensational affair expected, but it was quite swell. He entertained in honor April 2lst. of one of the northern brothers, and, ,of course, the boys were all on their model behavior. Talk about girls gossiping ! Umph ! they don't begin to compare with the sterner persuasion. Ha ! Ha ! It seemed too odd to hear those boys innocently gossiping with me behind the screen. They say eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves, and I believe it. Never mind 3 that was no excuse for that horrid Doc. Hubbard making that mean re- mark about me. I shall never forgive him. Another picnic. This time the A I X. A bicycle ride to Laurel Canon 3 but it happened that only five went on wheels, and the rest went in the cars. There were about twenty-ive in all. Of course they had a private car-all frats have-a bounti- ful lunch and an elegant time. P. S. I brought home quite a good many specimens for my herbarium 3 pressed some pobfpodium vulgare. CSee Encyclope- dia Britanica for full descriptionj April 26th. A brief spell of festivities. Dinners, receptions and weddings have been concentrated without any respect for our feelings, into about four or iive days. Of course a great Hutter was occasioned by Bob's wedding, or, I suppose I should say the wedding of Miss Helen R. Carhart and Mr. Bert- ram Eldred Williams. It took place at the country home of the bride's mother at Burbank. About one hundred and fifty guests went out from the city, and it was an especially merry party, as they were all the bride and groom's best friends. All the A I X girls were there, and quite a number of the elder G. E. K's, as Mr. Williams was one of the original members. They are in San Francisco now on their honeymoon. If I were Bob I would hurry right home as there is such a pretty brown house out on West Adams street awaiting them. There was a Phi Sigma stag dinner the other night--a dread- fully smart affair, I heard, but much to my disappointment I couldn't 'rind out very much about it. Boys are so tantalizing 3 they merely raise my curiosity and then leave me in despair. I almost forgot the first neighborhood dance, which took place on the same night as the wedding. Evan Jenkins and Louis Everett got it up, and I heard it was a great success. ' On the twenty-eighth the Gamma Phi's entertained at hearts at Helen Bushnell's on Estrella avenue. I left early as I wished to be at the Senior B party. I was glad that it came oil' at last. They had been talking about it for two months, and I was tired to death of it. Of course it was hard for them to decorate with their colors, blue and green, but they thought they were Frenchy and up-to-date, so selected them. They used a great quantity of smilax, and with here and there a stray bow or so it looked ex- ceedingly pretty. Mrs. Walton made a charming hostess, and the house was lovely. In the games played, Miss Allen won the first, Mr. Gibson the second, and Fay Lewis carried off the booby. When a jolly Virginia reel ended the evening I realized I had en- joyed myself better than I had expected. may lst. Oh my ! I think I have done my best to celebrate Dewey's victory. A picnic and a party. In the morning a merry throng started for Santa Monica, it included Etta Ianss, Elsie Kimble, Belle Coulter, Bertha Pollard, Frances Coulter, Ada Ford, Marguerite Moore, Ruby Kimble, Inez Moore, Stella Sanford, Melia Simonds, Alice Harpham, Pauline Botts and myself. Mrs. Ianss chaperoned, and Earle Anthony, seven cameras and ten lunch baskets helped us to while away the time. We didn't get home until six, then I had to, don my regimentals and start for the Dewey party. It was the original idea of the Senior A Class, and even the elements seemed to wish them suc- cess. When the cars stopped at Lake street, sounds of mirth and laughter helped us to find Miss Harrison's house. We entered, everything was changed, gay flags and bunting, and boys in uni- form, had transformed it into a typical military post. In the early part of the evening a conversation party furnished amuse- ment. The score cards were dainty little hand-painted affairs with the stars and stripes festooned about the name Dewey. A five-minute talk was devoted to each topic. Dewey was praised, the moon discussed, and when the topic the Conceit of the Modern Boyi' was introduced, Bowler, Judy, Enderlein and Hillman stood up for the defense. Enderlein with his sword clanging at his side strutted up and down, Bowler rearranged his tie, gazed admiringly at his patent leathers, braced his shoul- ders and declared that they had no conceit. Oh, it was too ridiculous. Somebody made a flattering remark about Hillman, and I noticed his chest expand about four inches, and yet he had the audacity to tell me he was not conceited or susceptible to f-lattery. I was very, very sorry when the bell rang and we had to change partners and topics, for I had enjoyed myself im- mensely, but the next topic was almost as interesting-the Hob- son Kiss , though the boys insisted upon saying the Dewey kiss. We were in the midst of a most animated discussion when supper was announced. Army rations : Beef sandwiches, hardtack and coffee. I don't see why the soldiers fussed so. Everything had such a delight- fully novel air that I hated to leave, but this idea was rather over- balanced by the fact that I had at last been to a real military party, and as this had always been my ambition in life I came home partially pacied. Memoranda. Dewey victorious. Philippines, May 1, '98. One history fact fixed. May I sth. The Middle A's wereinitiated last evening into the delights of party-giving. It was a Progressive Salamagundi and was held at the home of Mrs. Nicholson on Thirty-sixth street. The girls had transformed the house into a bower of bloom, and as this was a surprise to the boys who seemed to be perfectly delighted, I followed several of the parties from table to table and was especially amused by Harry Basker- ville and Willie Wiggins. In the game of anagrams Harry should have carried off the prize for his method of coining words was marvelous. Once a ' turned up and he immediately answered goat, the next happened to be an n , and leaning way over the table with face beaming with excitement and eyes dancing he shouted nanny-goat. Poor Willie Wiggins was prostrated by this wit and quickness and if the bell had not stopped the game I think he would have fainted. We are nearing the end of the term and I feel that my last months have not been spent in vain and I deserve credit for the way I have worked. I am so busy I don't know which way to turn. Early in the week I went for an out- ing with the R. R. R. CI wonder what it meansl. They were delightfully entertained at the winter home of Taffy CGenevieve Knollj at Long Beach. In the morning there were parlor theat- ricals, then luncheon at oneg dancing in the afternoon, and after another delicious repast the party took the early train for Los Angeles. One thing I noticed was the way they addressed one- another. Lena Turner was called Michael Angelo 5 Nellie Win- ters, Sir Launfaulg Mary Putnam, Robinson Crusoeg Ethel Magee, Sir Roger de Coverly 5 Marian Snow, Uncle Sam 5 Grace Barnett, May 15th. Eeaddles 3 Florence Dodge, Rip Van Winkle, and Keturah Paul, Ben Hur. The club has been organized since ,97, but it was kept so quiet that nobody knew anything about it. Last week Messrs. Davisson and Fay had a dancing party and Clarence Hubbard entertained the Gamma Eta Kappa, but sad to relate neither of them invited me, so I know nothing about them. Really I think the G. E. K.'s must be planning something for they had another meeting at Carl Tufts' the other night and since then they have been talking mysteriously about cotillions, fancy-dress hops, Kramer's, and dear knows what else. I wish I could 'dnd out about it. Oh, that reminds me, Miss Eord visited Redlands, Riverside and San Bernardino last week, and met all the G. E. K. boys. She was especially pleased with the San Bernardino Chapter, was their guest for the afternoon, and she said they did everything in their power to make her enjoy her- self. P. S. Psalm of Life for Wednesday. Learn Spanish transla- tion. Made a brilliant recitation in Latin today. June lst. The Phi Sigmas were entertained by Louis Everett two days ago. They had a prolonged business meeting, then the doors of the dining-room were opened by two dainty colored waitresses. Everything was running along mer- rily until one of the boys mentioned the names of two of his girl friends. Immediately both of the little colored damsels started violently. A dozen pairs of scrutinizing eyes were turned upon them and they were recognized as Helen Howes and Caryl Sippy. It was a good joke on the boys and they seemed to thoroughly appreciate it. Talking of Phi Sigmas, I am so disappointed I could just cry. Earle Anthony has joined them just when we were about to ask him to become a A I X. And we have always been so quick, never missed a person. Oh! oh! I am so cross. After the initiation they were surprised with a supper. As fate would have it Belle Coulter entertained the members of Delta Iota Chi the next day in honor of May Ridgway's return from Mexico. Today seeing one of the college boys reminded me that both Berkeley and Stanford are out and all the students, except those who remained for some special reason, are home. Braly and Newlin will be back in a week or so, but Roscoe Sanborn who has been winning laurels at the University of Pennsylvania has decided to visit in New England this summer. . Didn't I say so? I knew it. Of course the G. E. K.'s are going to entertain. It is to be on the 28th, and I shall feel so bad if I don't get a chance to wear my graduating dress. Memoranda. Grant fought in the Civil War. Today I received a call from the ollice and tripped down lighthearted and triumphantly, for I knew I was to be told about my valedictory, and oh, how I felt when Prof. Housh told me I was to have no valedictory, no salutatory, no nothing. QMrs. Frick would call this poor English, but I don't care.j He said I had been paying too much attention to gayety and had not attended to my lessons. This is the reward for my hard work, my toil, my drudgeryg this the reason the gas bills have been so large, and I am so thin and haggard. No, I will never study again 3 never, never, never! Henceforth I will enjoy myself. Good-by, dear little diary, you stand as a silent witness to my hard labor, which nobody appreciates. I have en- joyed you and you have been a great comfort to me, but I find that even you cannot fill in the want, so good-by, forever. June I5th. Q 6.2.

H. s. 1895. September. How queer everything is here. The building is so large and the surroundings are so spooky. There are so many halls I can scarcely find my way. Those people whonwalk around as if they Owned everything, and congregate in the halls -a thing which we cannot do-glance at us so and call us scrubs , which makes us feel very small and uncomfortable. October. We have just had a class-meeting Cover three hun- dred of usj and it was such fung we're going to have them real often, the boys say, and just think! We have class colors-pink and green-just as those people have. They say we are the first scrubs to be so distinguished. 1896. February, We are f'subs now !! April. What a jolly time we are having. We've had a float in the La Fiesta Floral Parade, and we have taken a prize! There is a red satin banner in the oliice, and the Fiesta Com- mittee gave us a special prize of thirty dollars to soothe many little heartaches , they said. But we're happy, and we spent the money for two pictures which we gave.to the school-they are in the main hall downstairs. September. At last we are Juniors. We are really getting so im- portant, we go to Star and Crescent, and it's fine. We are de- cidedly popular, too. The Middles try to be friendly with usp we gave them all our votes for the irst Star and Crescent elec- tion. Our class is so large that our influence is felt throughout the whole campaign. The Seniors say the Middles like us merely for our ballots, but I know it is because we are so intellectual and witty that they are proud to speak to us. The scrubs this year are funny, but we are the junior B's. We have no class-meetings, but we really do not need them. 1897. February. Star and Crescent met today for the election of offi- cers. Don Irvin from our class was elected treasurer, and Florence Dodge critic. June. The Senior A's asked us to decorate for their closing exercises. I guess it is because we show such artistic taste. September. How well we are doing. Electioneering is very ex- citing. The juniors, who are so anxious to be popular, pledged their votes to us. The Middle A's did not like it at all. Keturah Paul acts as secretary for Star and Crescent and Carl Tufts takes care of the money. julia Rowell, one of our brightest and best girls, has been called to the home above, where earthly cares are no more. She leaves a vacant place that will be very difficult to fill. 1898. May. Fifteen is our class-room. We are very patriotic 3 everyone is excited about our war with Spain. Charlie White has enlisted and has gone to Manila. This noon we girls decor- ated the room in the national colors with erasers and flags. Star and Crescent recognizing our honesty from past services elected Sam Kreider, treasurer. Beatrice Snow and James Case are critics. September. Hurrah for the Senior B's ! Class colors again, class- meetings, too, and a dear little triangular pin which distinguishes us from the lower classes and all our predecessors. Rowena Moore, as vice-president, plans the Star and Crescent programsg they are excellent. From a numberless body we are now united into a compact sixty or seventy. November. The boys treated the class and several of the faculty, with whom they wished to gain favor and a good mark, to ice- cream this noon. After the freezers were left empty, we went into the hall. We met the Senior A's who were coming as un- invited guests unto the spread we gave. After a sharp encoun- ter they retreated to sixteen. Later. The Senior A boys have united in a black ribbon organization. This noon-a time when almost all our Senior combats take place-a ribbon-rush occurred. Sam Kreider carried' off a little black bow much to the chagrin of the Seniors. December. Now our boys are wearing significant red ribbons. They are running in opposition to the black ribbons. Dec. 22, VVe were invited to the Senior A Christmas tree this afternoon. But the Seniors kept the pretty things for themselves. They gave us a cabbage-head. I wonder why? Earle C. Anthony N Florence Norton Lena Turner Wheeler O. North 1899. Feb. 10, This is our class-day, a day upon which we have counted and planned so much. A cloud darkened our horizon, but it has swept by and turned out its silver lining, so today we presented the Star and Crescent pins to the graduates with an appropriate quotation for each one, and in costume we sang our class-song. O, yes, we buried the Senior A's, but they ap- peared again this afternoon and sang their song to us. Everyone says we are so original. Our programme today, like everything else in our High School career, was entirely different from those of preceding Senior B's. Feb. 13. At last those Seniors are gone, and Room 16 is ours ! We moved in today and decked it in pink and green. Mar. ll. Harry Walton has been made President of Star and Crescent. We filed into the auditorium with becoming dignity, and with our dainty pink and green streamers flying. The lower classes look up to us as the pride of the school. May l. We have had class parties, picnics, bicycle rides, and a social time in general. This evening we are to celebrate Dewey's victory at Manila with a party. Summary. At last our school term is drawing to a close, and study is almost a thing of the past. W'e have studied and played, been happy despite a few drawbacks. Now, as we are about to leave these familiar halls we realize that it is hard to part with one another, with Alma Mater, and with our teachers who have so patiently trained us morally, mentally and physically. We realize that our education has but begun, that we have gone throught a preparatory training for Life's struggles, and that a busy world has need for each one of us. As Seniors we feel that the school is small, the library inadequate, the walls bare, but we hope that succeeding classes will follow our good example in picture donations. And now, as a class, our history is ended, for from now on each one will make a history for himself. ETHEL BLAINE MAGEE. I Z E Grace Laubersheimer Philo L. Lindley M. Keturah Paul Carl R.

Jenn are innifieh in aifenh the banquet at Ilillahiann Square Earhart ilune 30, 1920 Qlelehraiing the Qlnmpleiinn nf The Banter-Clalher Granernniimenial Hit-Hhip iIin2J' This invitation lay on my table one evening and I decided at once to attend, partly because I was sure of meeting many famous people and partly in honor of the completed Work. As I boarded the Elevated for Madison Square, on the evening mentioned, I purchased a paper to while away the long ride, and almost the first thing which struck my eyes were these headlines in staring type : 'G HON. WIllIAM YARNELUS Great Speech Against the Annexation of the Equator. Wins Him first Place on the Free-Alumninum Party Ticket. GREAT ENTHUSIASM AND A UNANIMOUS VOTE. Pondering over the possible results of this action, my eyes wandered on down the page to the display advertisements, and there, to my surprise, I saw the following : Now AT THE MANHATTAN MH. J. DUNEUP BOWLER Supported by , MISS PHILLIPS The Great Tragedienne, will produce GRYANO DE BERGERAC Under the management of J. Trumbower Case. Engage seats al1ead.', My curiosity now being aroused, I glanced further and was rewarded by seeing this item : PERSONAL INSTRUCTION GIVEN AT PROF. , North's Academy of Dancing and Deportrnent. MISS HELEN NORTH will conduct Physical Cul- ture Classes on alternate days. 162 Fifth Avenue. Finding no more familiar names in the advertisements, I turned to the telegraphic dispatches for news of general interest and learned that Merick Reynolds, the Western Wonder, had knocked out Peter Dooley, the Irish Cyclone, in ive rounds, winning the feather-weight championship. Another item was The Lashbrooke-Douglass Glue Factory at Podunk, New Jersey, burned yesterday with great loss. R. H. Edwards, the general manager, barely escaped with his life in an effort to save the buildings. Madison Square, yelled the conductor, but before I left the car, I noticed that the presentation of Isabel Denker's latest comic opera by Miss Barnett, had been warmly commended by the World's dramatic critic, Florence Field. Hurrying on, I met Roy Hillman at the entrance of the Gar- den, and we passed into the banquet hall together. He kindly offered to point out the notables, so, sauntering about before the banquet began, we talked of the guests. That's W. Max Enderlein, the South Sea Traveler over there, he said, and those ladies in conversation with him are Miss King and Miss Stephens, the one a poet, the other a concert- singer. Inst beyond them you can see Rev. C. K. Judy of Trinity, talking with Kreider, the vaudeville star. The men just coming in the door are three well known Texas cattle-men, Brooks, Hulbert and Stewart, while that group at the foot of the stairs is composed of four wealthy New Yorkers, Beatrice Snow, editor of St. Nicholas, Walton, the manufacturer of re- cling school desks--his own invention, Tufts, the Mexican miner, and Stella Schmidt, the wife of Lord Westmeath. There were quite a few intellectual persons present whom I recognized myself, among them being Prof. Wright, who occupied the chair of classic languages at Yale, and Misses Magee and Holway, teachers of mathematics at Prof. Schults' famous school. I also saw Listenwalter and jackson, whose researches on liquid wood have startled the entire world with its possi- bilities. Further conversation was prevented by a burst of music from Thomas' Symphonic Orchestra, announcing the fact that the ban- quet was spread, and we seated ourselves at the tables. The viands were unusually delicate, and Hillman informed me that Anthony was the catererer for all swell affairs nowadays. As the dinner progressed, I was told that quite a California colony had settled in Paris, after the Exposition of I 19oo. Helen Reynolds had married an eminent French novelist, Neva Iles was a designer of swell Paris gowns, and Alice Retzer was a well known sculptor, while the Misses Snow, Knoll, Durnerin and Young had formed an Art League and were studying in the Louvre. On the opposite side of the globe, after a career in so- ciety, Rowena Moore and Keturah Paul were achieving honors in the missionary Held, while Grace Laubersheimer, international golf champion, was teaching the royal game to the Filipinos. At intervals, Hillman told me that the Misses Hamlin, Nie- decken and White had built up a great camera trade, and were rapidly crowding the Eastman Kodak Co. out of the business, and Walter Munday is their business agent, that Mary Put- nam was U. S. Senator from Indian Territory, and McComb was a railroad builder in China. Zella Fay had married the editor of the largest paper in Berlin and was well known for her Embassy dinners. Hugh Neuhart and Hilary Wixom had hnally be- come separated, Hugh becoming Chief justice of Hawaii, while Wixom bought a coffee-ranch in Mexico and taught the young Mexicans how to play football in Spanish. I was by this time desirous of learning the lot which Fortune had assigned to other friends, and as the final toasts to the suc- cess of the air-ship line was being drunk, I learned their various stations. Miss M'Clary, Miss Harrison and Miss Winters were noted for the splendor of their annual receptions at which Miss Dodge and Miss Turner were often seen, rivals for the leadership of the 4oo, and as for Pembroke Thom, he is our modern Ward Mc- Allister. Florence Norton had become a noted portrayer of such society scenes, and her swell Norton Girls were seen in every illustrated paper of the day. Miss Hull, Miss Matlock and Miss Wright were in College Settlement work, and the Misses Cheney, Freeman, M'Cullum and Hoyt were exploring in New Guinea. I expect you wonder why I know about so many people, but Pm the head of a press-clipping bureau, and I have gotten all of this information through it, was Roy's answer to my unspoken question. By the way, Hillman, what has become of Gibson, Lindley and Irvin? 'K Oh, they're all doing Well, Gibson makes and sells Wigs to the theatrical trade, Lindley is president of the Ralston Non Poisonous Tamale Co., Limited, while Irvin is walking delegate of the Amalgamated Union of Carpet Beatersf' H Well, here's my car.

Glass Battery Af' First California Heavy Artillery NUI' iiBOQ5 in 015311113 EVERALI of our High School boys have been fortunate enough to be among those who are seeing active service in our campaign against the Philipinos. Roy Brosseau, Herbert Laux, Sergeants Catesby and Carn- eron Thom, Lieut. John A. Glass, belong to Battery D, First California Heavy Artillery, who are now protecting the hghting forces at Manila. Floyd G. Dessery, Battery F, of the Third Heavy Artillery, and Charles White of the Third Regiment U. S. Regular Heavy Artillery, are at Manila. They left San Fran- cisco early in '98, and have since been experiencing the hard- ships that necessarily attend a soldier's life. Although all of the boys are inexperienced, they have conducted themselves so as to Win promotion. john A. Glass, who enlisted as a private, but is now Lieut. Glass, has been especially daring. He was chosen to convey a flag of truce to the insurgents, and accepted the commission, al- though he fully realized that it meant almost certain death. Ad- miral Dewey met him upon his return, shook his hand and said, That boy is all rightf' Herbert Laux is collector of the port of Cavite. Floyd G. Dessery is head clerk of Battery H, Third Artillery. Sergeant Charles White, being one of the regulars, has seen more real hghting than the other boys. F. G. N., S. ,QQ. The Kingsetta March, recently adopted as the official N. E. A. convention march, to be played by the bands and or- chestras at the great convention, was composed by Mr. Marvin L. MacKenzie, of the Winter class of 7799. Mr. MacKenzie has shown much ability as a composer, having recently written many pieces of merit. A beautiful souvenir edition is being published in honor of the delegates of the N. E. A. convention. ZLCIICFQ to IDG IEMIOF.

A Yes, I'm getting too swift and sporty, I'm afraid remarked Pembroke. Yesterday I went down the street with some H.

Oh, about twenty cents, not counting my car-fare home, you knowf' Up:to-Date. The other evening Harry and Tia were on the street-car and the conductor came for the coin.

Last year the charges were 5105 for,Academy and College, with 590 for the Sloyd department. In future one uniform rate of 375 per annum has been nxed. The catalogues for 1899-1900 are out and may be had for the asking. At Throop all the fellows who have been dabbling in electricity can fol- low their bent scientifically and come out in time full-Hedged electricians. A couple of years out at Throop, and all they have accomplished there will be credited at either of the California Universities and at most Eastern Colleges, or they may continue at Throop right up to the A.

DROMINENT YOUNG SOCIETY MAN ESCADES AN AWFUL FATE. fBy Associated Gossip Telegramj Ingraham street-9.30 P.lNI. What came very near to being a serious accident occurred this even- ing, at the delightful party given by Mr. Fay and Mr. Davisson. It happened during the seventh dance. All through the evening it was noticed that there was something peculiar in the actions of Mr, Wheeler North. It was first re- ported by Miss Rena Kane, who discovered a certain erraticalness in the usually smooth style of his dancing. She did not mention it at first, and it was only after Miss Engstrum, Miss Kimble and Miss Cornwall had noticed the same thing that it was thought to be serious. It soon developed into a severe case of that peculiar obnoxious malady, The Dip. This disease, as is well known, causes wild gyra- tions and sudden lunges of the patient. The convulsions culmi- nated in the seventh dance, when Miss Josephine Lewis found that Mr. North's knees were almosl touching ilzejloor. f ' 451 - Y 5 4 .421 K .Qs P: -Q ill 3 X MR. WHEELER NORTH. Horrible thought! If they did, at the speed at which he was now going, he would be injured for life I Miss Lewis was overcome with hysterics, screamed and fainted, and it was only after several trips to the lemonade-bowl that she re vived ! , Later-At the moment of going to press we learn that Mr. North is slowly recovering, and is expected to be in his normal condition in a few weeks. Miss Lewis is also out of danger. The unfortunates have our deepest sympathy in their se- vere affliction. fVVillie VViggins.:I LOCAL BRIEFS.

THE COMMUNITY ALAPMED! MR. JOHN LASHBROOKE FAILS TO ARITIIVE AT THE CLASS PARTY. fSpecial to the Scorcherj At an early hour Tuesday even- ing the palatial abode of Miss Har- rison, on Lake Ave., was the scene of gay festivities. But a pall was to fall upon the gay throng. The protracted absence of Mr. John Lashbrooke, our well known and respected fellow-townsman, be- came the cause of much worry. The police were notined, but could not End the missing one. Finally, when all hope had been given up, in walked the cause of, all the alarm. Upon inquiry it Was learned that he had taken the Wrong car by mistake, and had been rusticating in the Wilds of West Pico street. The knowledge of his safe return has lifted an in- expressible load from our minds. Uonathan Doneup Bowlerj SOCIETY JOTTINGS. Miss Grace Laubersheimer, of the High School, was among the excursiouists that attended the Free Harbor jubilee barbecue at San Pedro. H Mr. Augustus T. jackson spent the recent holidays at his country house in Hollywood. 12 The Eucalyptus Social Club, of Room 16, enjoyed an outing at Pasadena. Many wheels were rid- den-and carried. It is safe to say that the quiet people of our sub- urb were aware of our presents. QThere were about 2000 in pink and green.l . Mr. john Cooper has decided that he will not continue in social life for a time, as it is Lentethis money.j I C. Kalamazoo judyfl EDITORIAL. In pursuance of the recent sig- nature law, all articles in the SCORCHER are signed by their writers. We are glad to note the recovery of Mr. Robert Edwards, formerly of San Diego, who has been laid up with a severe attack of brain fever, caused by excessive study of A12 English. Mr. Clarence Baruch is also slowly convalescing from a simi- lar attack. It is common talk that before long Mr. T. jackson Douglass will come to the workhouse. Mr. Donald Irvin wishes us to announce that his middle name is Forsha, and that if any personals appear about him, he will never speak to the editor again. In the face of this awful threat we will close our odice and go to Star and Crescent. Mr. Hillman wishes it stated that he did not go to San Pedro With Mr. Kreider, but that he took E. Anthony with him. IE. Z. Mark.l will X . ' It runs easy Ride The TCGYHS... For Style Grace and Design None are so Strong!

Blanche Engstrum-A good way to attract the attention of a young man is to drop all your papers and books at his feet. He will probably remember you afterward. Beatrice Snow-Those stamp photos, twenty-eight for a quar- ter, are very economical. Seeing that you will have to give one to each of your friends, the outlay will not be so apt to break you as if you had cabinets. Arthur Wright-I recommend that you rub your head every night with arnica or Pond's Extract. It may reduce the swelling somewhat, although if the trouble is of long standing it is prob- ably, by now, incurable. Florence Field-If you are troubled with dyspepsia, a mixture of equal parts of malted milk, Mellin's Food and hair oil, will be eifacious. Fannie Coulter-Lemon Drop is a very nice name. Never wager a box of candy with the personal editor that your name will not appear. 0 00000: onion 000 OOO! 00000 00 Ooollooooolloouoolooo0000000000000 llotul 00000 D .
