g11, ,'g LTHE Voculionol Depowlmenls DOMESTIC SCIENCE The purpose of the domestic sci- ence course is primarily to fit girls to be good home-makers, but it also opens up unlimited fields for the feminine wage-earner. The clothing section of this course, in charge of Miss Grace Russell, is equipped with modern sewing machines, a fitting room, and cutting tables. In the cook- ing section, of which Mrs. Grace Fan- ning is head, are ten up-to-date gas and electric ranges, an electric refrig- erator, and a fully equipped dining room, aside from various incidental apparatus. The weaving room con- tains looms on which the girls fash- ion colorful scarfs, rugs, and purses. Miss Russell is the teacher. In addition to these courses which are valuable for the practical experi- ence which they afford, there is a course in home-making which all high school girls are now required to take in order to graduate. MANUAL TRAINING The manual training department includes the machine, wood, and printing shops, in charge of Mr. Hester, Mr. Parmalee, and Mr. Goodwin, respectively. Here the boys get practical experience in repairing machinery, constructing model air- planes and various articles of furni- ture, and in setting type. In addition to the Wildcat, the printing students put out programs for assemblies and public performances. In the machine shop are engines, motors, steel lathes, forges, and spe- cial parts for the aeronautics work. The wood shop is equipped with saws - plain, band, and circular-wood lathes, and planers. The print shop has boxes of type, presses, and vari- ous other machines. COMMERCIAL The commercial department, since it prepares so many students for the business world, is very complete. In the typing room, there are about thirty typewriters-in the bookkeep- ing room, a model bank complete with money and checks. For stenog- raphy, commercial blank books are bought to be filled with dictation. Miss Mary Thorne, Mr. Roland Watenpaugh, Mr. E. E. West, and Mrs. Gertrude Morgan are commer- cial teachers. MECHANICAL DRAWING The mechanical drawing room is fully equipped for future draftsmen with drawing tables and complete blue-print apparatus. Here, the boys make various miniature plans and get practice for the pattern-making pro- fession. Mr. Roy Eller is the instruc- tor. AGRICULTURE The course in agriculture is not only beneficial to the students taking it but is also helpful to the school, since the students of this department have planted and are planting most of the shrubs on the school campus. These students also take care of the chapparell. The course in agriculture includes the study of all kinds of plants and the general study of the agricultural system used in Monrovia. Mr. Wesley Steiner is the teacher.

Hsmttmtse- 1 T H E M O N R O VIA N lzoolboll 590800 COACH Eugene McAllister started his coaching regime at M.A.D. by presenting a football machine that crushed out two victories out of five league starts. One could say, how- ever, that most of the power of the machine could be attributed to that flashy, compact bundle of lightning, Bill Presley. Scoring all of the thirty points chalked up by the team dur- ing league competition, this spectac- ular triple-threat flash got quite a name for himself in the league circles. The Cats started the league season on the wrong foot, as they were given a complete shut-out by the Whittier Cardinals, who dumped the locals to a bitter 20-O defeat. The cats re- covered in time from such brutal treatment to come through by the skin of their teeth, winning a breath- taking 3-O victory over Hoover. The Wildcats suffered a relapse in the next week's encounter when the South Pasadena Tigers tramped rude- ly on the Feline toes with a 7-6 win. Ashamed of such treatment, Mon- rovia took out its spirit of revenge on the hapless Burbank team Zi-8. The traditional battle with Tech, which closed the 1932 season, re- sulted in a heartbreaking loss as that lean Terrier, George Anderson, romped ninety yards for the sole score to carry the bacon back to the Terrier kennel. The lettermen were Ford, Hunt, Knoble, Larson, H. Mecke, U. Mecke, Presley, Schallert, Stackhouse, St. Clair, Sveinson, Thur- man, Tucker, Way, Wilson, Captain Olson, and Manager Boyd. CLASS B FOOTBALL The Kittens, guided by the ex- tremely capable hand of R. V. Wat- enpaugh, managed to steer through a difficult season by walloping two schools and tying Muir Tech, Foot- hill League champions, receiving only two defeats in return. These two defeats came at the first of the season with Whittier winning 7-O on a fluke, and Hoover following suit by taming the Kittens l8-O. This aroused the ire of the frenzied Cats, who swamped South Pasadena l8-O, and then ran rampant over the cowed Burbank Pups with a 27-O victory. The now glorified Cats finished their season by tying the erstwhile un- defeated Tech Terriers O-O in a hec- tic struggle. The lettermen were Mc- Kee, Mclntire, Morimoto, Myers Sandlin, D. Scott, R. Scott, Smith, Tsuneishi, Valenzuela, Baker, Dollar Day, Eller, Evans, Ellis, Hashimoto, Hicks, Hounihan, Irons, Livernash, and Captain Bundschuh. r 9 CROSS COUNTRY With a small band of five Spartans turning out for cross-country, Coach Murray's efforts to turn out a win- ning team went for naught, as the Monrovia harriers fell before the stal- wart leather-lungers from the other schools, and ended at the bottom of the loop with nary a victory. The lettermen were Roine, Salisbury, Haynes, Moeller, and Captain,Keens.
