Our school is famous for it endur- ing friendships, friendships that have grown out of studying and playing together. This semester new life-long friendships can be created to add to those already formed. I want to see each individual enter into the life as much as possible. New students should find an immedi- ate part in the various school activi- ties 521d put their best into them. To the old students I suggest that you helm those who are new at our school to discover and support our fine trad- itions, .As your president. I promise to make this a year marked by ex- cellent cooperation between student and faculty. It is our school. Let us make it an enjoyable one. eRalph Deems Get Your Papers! h-TQ;h, There will be a paper drive Thurs- day and Friday, October 18-19, with prizes for the winning homerooms.

This little paper of ours has a fine tradi- tion. We are proud of it and of the fine writers it has helped produce and we are looking fOiward with confident expectation to its achievements this year under its new staff. Each year is a new beginning at Junior High, not only for La Torre but for the Student Body organiza- tion, for the clubs, for the faculty, the administrative staff, the Parent- Teacher Association, and for each pupil. Our school has many fine tradi- tion: well established, traditions upon which we can rely and upon which We can. build, but each year is a fresh challenge to new and finer achieve ment, to the development of more noble traditions, Each year the Stua dent Body has entered upon a pro- ject to make our school more note- worthy for its beautiy and dignity. Each year severalhomerooms assume the responsibility of makinq their rooms more attractive and liveahle. Can we not extend this practice to the organization or reorganization of our daily conduct? Our school's ideals of Fricndlinosa. Churtesv, and Good, W'orkmtnship have, during the past six years, be- come so thoroughly embodied into the life and atmosphereof the school that nothing. I trust, could possibly dis- lodge or alter them. Every newcomer and every visitor to the school should become instantly aware of them as an inseparable part of the atmosphere of the place.

Vanderlip D01ft Be a Sponge -o-eoe-oe No matter what school you attend, in any grade, you will find a number of creatures that can be compared only to plain sponges. They do not work, but get all their grades from asking otheris answers, or from peering over hard workers shoulders. They are usually sad, hurried souls, who havenit quite enough time to work that problem out and who hurry up at the moment to get your answers. . These poor fools will never get any where and are laboring under the mistaken impression that answer? are the only thlngs that count. Be warned by these sad examples and clonlt be a sponge. If may get you along for the moment, but the habit will form upon you. Sponges donft get anywhere in this world, and you can be no exception. o-o-o Use Your Pr1v11eges eo-o-oe- Now that most of you have student body tickets, donlt put them away and never look at them again. Why throw away privil- eges that can come only once in your school life. Old Man Opport- unity isnit tagging at your heels all the time, you know. You have to do something about it as well as he. So wipe the dust off that good old student body ticket, give it to the ticket taker and yell your head off while your home team goes marching down the field to Victory. Sit breathlesss while some thrilling play goes on- Join the laughing, pressing crowd at the carnival. Surely you wouldnt want to miss any of these activities.

Some of it turns to dramatics, some to Journalism, and some to other things. .

He is to coach in India for half a year and then return to our Junior High. age LOST AND FOUND IN FULL SWING an The Lost and Fgund is in full swing. Someone is in the omce from 7:50 to 8:10 in the morning and from 3:05 to 3:20 in the afternoon. There is a wide variety of articles that includes pens, pencils, purses, ink, tennis shoes, and such. Many pu- pils have been coming to the Lost and Found for looseleaf notebooks, but as yet only two have been turned in If you find any notebooks kindly turn them in promptly. Page 4' New Paintings Grace Foyer ah. Our Junior High is very proud of its two new paintings, which have been placed in the main entrance to the school. The pictures, done in mod- ernistic style, represent Indians at a feast. The work was 'done by Mr. Norman R. Chamberlain, the well- known Pasadena artist. The student council voted to pay him seventy-five dollars for his work. This, we feel is onlv a slight token of our apprecia- tion for his interest in the beauty of our school. Home Making Classes Plan Work .h-Q.... The Home, Making Classes each year contribute something toward the furnishing and decoration of the home making rooms. This year the girls have decided that another comfortable bench would be acceptable so an old-fashioned uLove Seat is to be made by the shop. The girls also thought a Wing Chair would help carry out the furn- ishing of the room in Colonial style. A teacher's desk in'a living room being rather out of placeLthe girls decided to have the shop make a suitable desk of the Governor Win- thrope type for a living room. The money to pay for the wood used will be earned by the girls and the wood shop will make the furniture. The upholstering will be done by the girls. or A . 7h tCor tin led from Page 1i one of the famous women's wear shops; the supper to be prepared by the chefs of the Midnight Mission; the big acts of vaudeville to be pres- ented by the Junior High Faculty and others; all this and more ought to make Columbus Day tOctober 12i a day of new discoveries in the fun world for South Pasadena. and San Harino folks.

LA TORRE Grounds Committee Asks Your Support + Our school has a wide spread rep- utation for the many fine pieces of art work We have. The fountain patio with its beautiful shrubbery and fountain are part of the beautifica- tion program carried On by our school. If we thoughtlessly leave our sacks where we eat, drOp apple cores and candy wrappers around, it de- feats our beautification program as fast as we build it up. Mr. Baker usually shows the Ivisit- ors from other schools and many oth- er people around our school. They see our frescoes, murals, and fountain patio. They are building up a good impression of our schobl. When they see our back patio, if it is at noon, let us have it clean so they will get the same impression there. We will accomplish this by all COOperating. Put your apple cores and other. rub- bish in the big cans.

Earps, chairman of the English department, comes from Ven- tura Junior High School, He has had broad experience in some of the finest schools in the country. Mr. Edgar Jacobs, our new wood- shop teacher, was formerly with the Luther Burbank Junior High School. He has come to teach woodshop in our Junior High. For the last two summers he has been teaching sum- mer school. Miss Mary Fischer first taught at Randolph, She comes to us from Clarinda, Iowa. She was graduated by Scripps College. Miss Fischer likes our school very much. She is an Eng- lish teacher and the chairman of the Assembly Program Committee. Coach Ted Mumby is taking the place of Mr. Douthirt in the boys' gym. Mn Mumby was graduated from Indiana University. He formerly taught at Lucknow Christian College. Lucknow, India. He will be with us for only one semester, after which be will return to India. These new teachers have alreadv won a big place in our school, , A .V. -, tContinued from Page 1i ment for me? I If you look closely at these tradi- tions you will notice that they repre- sent standards which can be achieved by each member of the student body wholly apart from everyone else. That is I both theif strength and their weakness, Good workmanship, I pre- sume, must always remain an indiv- idual problem. Friendliness and cour- tesy upon the part of individuals and in personal I relations Iwe vhave achieved in large measure but in group relations, in the homeroom, while passing in the halls, in our as- sembly conduct and in some of our relations during the noon period these qualities are not so apparent. For this year I should like to suggest that we make friendliness and courtesy a group, as well as an individual, achievement. Working together on this problem we can achieve a school spirit and type of citizenship that will make this year one long to be remembered in the history of Junior High. The Cypress hF. When I went dOWn to San Pedro. I met the captain of a small fishing craft. He reminded me of a Montery Cypress because he was weather- beaten, stern, and not afraid of any sea. He puts his boat through storms and never seems afraid. The Cypress tree stands on the weather-beatcn coast of Monterey. Sometimes the sky is blue and the going is eaw but at othertimes the Sky is blank and the winds try to break off its branches and knoek it down. This is the time that the cvpress likes the best, when it is fighting off the wind and waves. The captain iss like that when his boat is shuddering beneath the waves and the water is washing the denim He is happiest when he is lighting with the wind and waves. The Cypress is big and spreadin and looks as if it could tell you many tales if it could speak. So can the captain. He looks very hard and wine v and it is hard to get him to tell you his stories. Both the Cypress and the captain are strong of body and strong of character. -Eugene Simon 8B-108 - :2 W, I Trained Seals hwkw. ..

Save your money now and see the world later. Thrift, the Doorknob to Success A certain man in this town started saving when he was young. He had to help support a family, but yet he saved all the earnings he could, He bought a horse and started peddling fruit. He still saved his money. Now he owns one of the largest fruit com- panies in America. He just built a sixteen room home with a swimming pool. Save your money and you will succeed. Please do not deprive your family of money if they need it to support you. If you have the money to save, save it, if your earnings help support the family give it to them. Don't be a spendthrift, yet don't be a miser. Save your money for a rainy day, but don't count your money and plan ahead how to gyp somebody so youlll have five cents more to your account. Keep this in mind: Ability to Save Shows Character. h, ,-T,.-9. Why I Take English i...- I take English to improve my speech. It is very important that we speak good English, as strangers al- most always judge us by our con- versatiou. To write correctly is almost as important as to speak correctly. This is another reason why English is a good course. A person at some time in his or her life has to write a docu- ment of some kind even If it is only a letter. If correct English is not used it may mean the loss of a job or social standing. A third reason for an English course is to learn about good books. Reading is a very common pastime and if you know something about books you will get more pleasure from them. Through books we are able to have experiences that we would not have otherwise. For in- stance, we would all like to go on journeys to far off lands. For many of us this is impossible. However, we can do the next best thing and travel through these foreign lands by read- ing books. Meeting different types of people and having thrilling adven- tures with them are all to be found in stories. Reading good books broadens our appreciations and builds charac- ter, eAnne- Roberts Edgar Worth Visits Europe h..h. My mother, father, sisters, and I drove from our home in South Pasa- dena to New York. There we shipped our car and boarded the steamship, HManhattan , and began our trip in full swing. On the other side of the Atlantic We landed at Plymouth, England. There we spent about a month visiting as many famous and interesting places as was possible, in- cluding many visits in Scotland. In Lpndon we saw the guard changed before the Royal Palace. At Edinbor- ough we visited a cemetery exclus- ively for world war dogs. From Eng- land we traveled to France where we saw the Geneva Peace Palaces both old and new now being built. At Ver- sailles we saw the palace where the famous treaty was signed. We next traveled to Switzerland where we vis- ited at Lake Lucerne. Here we thought, was the prettiest place we saw. We traveled in our car to Aus- tria where we had slight trouble with the Nazi and only went twenty miles in the country. We next went to Ba- VJaria, where we saw the Passion Play at Obei'amrnergau and then Hamburg, Germany. There in Ger- many We Spent two weeks. From Ger- any we traveled to the Scandinavian countries where we visited friends in Dalarna. In Denmark we visited most of its islands. After visiting our friends we drove Sweden, where we sailed for New York on the steamship Gripolm. While on the sea, we rode the tail end of a storm for three days. One night while eating dinner we were drenched by a wave that hit the side of the boat and entered the portholes of the dining saloon. After landing in Amer- ica, we went to Canada and then back in the US. to Chicago Where we spent three days at the Worlds Fair. We also visited the White House and the capital buildings. In our trip of seventeen weeks We visited ten countries, counting a short stOp in Mexico, and drove 20,000 miles in our car without a blowout. tEditors Note: From Switzerland Edgar brought a wood carving for his homeroom t104l, This is on ex- hibit with other souvenirs in the li- braryJ to Gothemburg, y Tea For Mothers By 7B aaof The annual 7B Tea for Mothers was held in Room 121, on the after- noon of September 26.

Liberty to me means the light of each individual to do what he wishes when it does not intertere With what others wish to do. For atter all there can be no rights without a respon- sibility as to the right of other people. Our government was organized to promote justice and the geneial wel- tare, to protect the people, and to in- sure liberty for those then living and for those to come, and to make a bet- ter Union. The justice desired by the organ- izers of the American Government was a justice for all. They realized that unless the gov- ernment gave justice to everyone, protected everyone, and concerned it- self with the welfare of everyone, it could not survive and liberty would perish, This liberty included the free- dom of religion, and freedom of speech and all our cherished liberty of today. When the boundaries of liberty are overstepped America will cease to be American. In every generation men and wo- men of many nations have died so that the human spirit might be free. Our country is no exception, and as the spirit of liberty is not dead in not die America, our people will again to preserve Freedom.

REPRESENTATIVES 9B Girls' Representatives, Jill Coff- man and 8B Girls' Representative, Rosemary Neiswender, Let us wish them success through- out the year. a.h Left-Handed Sports Interest Girls + The girls, gymnasium classes are attempting something new this sem- ester. They are endeavoring to be able to use their left leg and left arm as easily as their right. This accom- plishment will have many advantages. For instance, when one is tired of performing sometask with her right arm or leg, she can change to her left and use it less awkwardly. Then, we are likely to overdevelop the right side of our bodies. This will tend to equalize the development.

Their achievements were numerous. They were collecting wild animais, birds, and diversihed samples of mar- ine life on the surface and the bot- tom of the ocean. The cruise was en- tirely scientific. Among the leading scientists aboard was Dr. Waldo Schmidt of the U.S. Museum of N atur- al History at Washington DC ' Them Were scientists representing both Cam ada. and the United States. Entirely different birds, animals, and hsh than we have in our regions were discovered. Following are ex- cerpts from an interwew with Mr. Louis Filley, an intimate friend of Capt. Hancock, who was head of the expedition. He described some of the things they found on their journeys. . ...... the web-footed Boobies, the man-of-war birds of which the males have a large bright red pouch under their long bill possibly 10 in- ches in diameter. Of the Iish, the groupers, Sierras, roostei- fish, with high combs, and tuna, the crabs and crustation also were quite different and most brilliant, typical of tropical coloring. The ferns were 10 to 15 ft. high end the wild orchids two feet across the bloom. The natives of Central and South America are inclined to be smaller in stature than our people, and also more polite, appreciative and patient. Many still and motion pictures were taken of daily occurances by chief ofhcer WC, Switt and staff. Our school was most fortunate in havingCapt. Hancock present his en- semble for, our enjoyment on October 10. It is 0111' wish that at some future time Capt!

Vanderlip Armistice Day -ono-oe- Armistice Daye comes and goes,.but some of us fail to think of the real meaning of it to those who sufferedin the midst ofithe battle in France, and to those who waited anxiously at home for dear Ones to return. Long days the soldiers fought in the muck and mire. of the battlefield, rushing over dead bodies of their Comrades, but stilliighting: They were tired, very tired, but who of them would quit fighting for the cause as he saw it. And then on the - 11th of November, 1918 the fighting ceased. Imagine the j 0y of the soldiers who for month after month, had been praying fervently for it all to end. And then, later, when the boys werereceived back home with shouts and-cheers, many'mothers who had seen their sons leave for war were denied the joyof a happy reunion. So, When Armistice Day comes With all its pomp and flag wa-V- ing remember not only the football game you are to see, but con- sider the deeper meaning of Armistice Day. e f i O-'-O'.-TO Are You a Barnacle? -O-0-om Have you ever seen a barnacle?

' It was on a windy night, in August that we decided to go sailing: So when all was in madness we hopped into the gig and went out to the main boat, a snowebird 12 feet long. Putting up the sail We started out. The owner of theeboat, a good sailor, - was at the wheel. Nine otclock, All was well, except we had no light and the ocean was very calm. Oh well, we should worry! Nine-fifteen. A stiff breeze coming up on the port side of the boat. Tighten sheet rope! Ninc-thirty. A boat passing on the starboard, uMiss California , a. fish- ing barge. Seats getting rough out by number 6. Come about! Watch out for the boom! By a quarter of ten it was all the captain could do to keep the sheet rope from getting loose, All possible weight was put on the starboard side, fOr We were shipping water. Now the bottom of the boat inside was being washed by 2 inches of it Caution! Bad storm at sea! Ail hands on deck bring down the sail. Konk! the sail was down and. the boom had hit someone's head. Here it was ten and we were going full speed, west, with the tide up the bay. The water was very Cheppy. While we were spedily drifting along, the cap- tain grabbed a. buoy we were passing. Ten-ififteen, Our parents were pac- ing the walks along the water front trying to hail us who were in the middle of the bay. A wet sail. 5 blan- kets... and 6 frozen howling kids. Fin- ally, it was deemed someone should play hero, swim to shore, get the gig, and come rescue us drowning rats. Strangely enough no one vol- unteered. After a while We began kindly volunteering for one another. All this time the captain was busily trying to hiteh-hike his way to shore. Ten-thirty. A boat was spied carryv ing two seamen, tI suppose one might call them thatJ Up came a trim little craft, none other than a rowboat. Well. better than none. Going- our way? Sure. So our captain was dropped off at the nearest pier. He immediately drove the gig out with the power of two oars. Rescued at last! When we arrived home at a quarter of eleven our parents started in on us. Theirs was a bewildering story of anxious waiting: Then standing there in our sea soaked clothes, we told our thrilling tale. The next morning the sea-worthy snow-bird was returned to her dock with no remaining evidence of the pleasant trip of the evening be- fore. -Alice Conner October'31, 1934 Beak Week Contest Questions wee tContest instruction on page D 1.

Las Amigas meeting was held Oc- tober 19, 1934. The program chair- man, June Hagan, sponsored a very interesting program. A farce skit called Kill or Cure was put on by the Girls Dramatic Club of which Mis. Reynolds is spon- sor. The cast included Jean Sparling, Lucille Garwood, Yvonne Scott, Mar- gie Baron, Betty VVelch, Mary Dailey, and June Barder. There were many good laughs in this play. A popular number The Big Bad Wolf was dramatized by a group of girls. The program was concluded with several popular songs.

In making a perfect aquarium there are many neCessities in order that the hsh may live comfortably. If your aquarium is not balanced it is necessary to put in clean water at least one a week If it is balanced you need only to add more in place of that which has evaporated. Any aquarium, balanced or unbal- anced should have at least four snails. Of these little creatures there are several varieties. The most common are trapdoor, ramshorn, and several types of Japanese snails. These snails eat the algae that collect on the glass. It is not necessary to feed the Iish if the aquarium is balanced. Other- wise you should buy a hsh food or use something that will not sour the water. Perhaps you are puzzled at the ex- pression, balanced aquariums . A balanced aquarium consists of rocks, snails, fish, and maybe, if you wish, a tadpole or two. It is balanced be- cause. the fish keep the plants living, and the plants give of oxygen and food that feed the fish. Care must be taken in putting dif- ferent types of fish together. I had half a. dozen mosquito fish and two suckers in my aquarium; Now I have only two suckers. Mosquito fish grow to be nearly one and a half inches long. They live in the out-of-doors on mosquito larvae. They chew the tails off the gold fish. In concluding, I feel it is not neo- esssary to tell what an interesting hobby of mine this is. It not only has supplied me with amusement, but, for the small amount of work I have put into .it, it has'paid me fully in scientific knowledge that I had not learned any plaCe before. eArt Blight 98420 W .

Thirty-seven of the fair sex have signed up for the tournament and ri- valry is at a keen stage, practically all classes andrhomerooms being rep- resented. Carol Henry, Badminton manager, in announcing the tournament said, ttT-he winner of the tournament Will have her name engraved on the Bad- minton plaeque, while the highest in each class, and the first, second, and third highest in the school will re- ceive varsity cards. i fter Schoei Games , io-e The school?s boys are divided into groups according to their age, weight, and height, The largest boys are the AJ' group, the middle weights and heights are thepttB group,'-whi1e the smallest boys are the C'ts. These divisions are further divided into four groups the Lions, Bears, Indians, and Eagles. These divisions play against each other on set dates after school. If a member of a team plays in all the games he gets his school letters and a felt football, basketball, bat and ball, or winged foot to pin on his letter. The team that wins receives an attractive pennant. Every boy who can possibly come out ought to play in these after school games. r' Try Our CASH AND CARRY Plan BLACK AND VVHETE Cieehere tend Dyers E. C.

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

Sheba. barked and barked, trying to warn Johnny of the great danger, but Johnny paid no heed, thinking onlythat she was barking for the fun of it. Nearer and near Johnny came to the bush. Then suddenly he stum- bled. Quick as a hash'Sheba had lit- erally thrown Johnny on the lawn and lunged at. the snake, Johnny saw a battle royal taking place in the bush, and Was greatly puzzled as to Who was fighting his pal, Sheba. Sheba! yelled Johnny, 'fcome here, Sheba! But Sheba paid no heed. . Soon afterwards Johnny saw her struggling tot arise from the bush. He knew that something was Wrong, and he dashed Wildly to her.'In Shea ba's 'mout-h he recognized a deadly Copperhead. In her eyes he saw victory, for she had 'saved' Johnny and killed an enemy she hated; but She- ba's reward was death! Later, back at the kennels, Mr. La- mont stood with tear stained Veyese- looking at the swollen dead body of Sheba, This dog Who just an hour before had been' full of pomp and vigor, and the queen of the kennels. Now she lay dead! I THE e'PUP LOBO ' ' Now Lobo, Shega's son, was king of the kennels. Mr. Lamont stood re- garding him, a proud light shinning in his eyes. He had great hopes for Lobo.

Someday Johnny and- everyone would know, but 'first Lobo must prove him- self worthy of his noble mother, She- ba. Lobo Was huge 'for his age. He was fully eight inehes larger than any other dos: in theikennels, and as many inches higher. Johnny looked out of the window of g hisihouse andl glanced at .the moun- tains beyond, In the setting sun they looked majestic. How he had longed to go into those mountains and live there with Lobo. But such a thing would be unheard of in the eyes of his dad. Then he turned to the kennels. There stood Lobo, his silvery fur tak- ing on a reddish golden hue. How beautiful he looked, his nose pointed to the sun, and his feet planted firmly on the grounw Even though he was a pup, Lobo was a tiusted watchdog of the kennels. Johnny was having a good time with Lobo today, The two had thought up a good game. Johnny would run as fast as he could, yelling while'Lobo rOWIed and nipped play- fully. Lobo was a one man dog and had picked Johnny for his master. It was growing dusk 'as Johnny started for the house. He bid Lobo good night and 'ran across the turf towards 'the winodw of his room. He climbed in and had just enouh time to grab an Astromomy book, and look interested in it when hisdad opened the door and anneuced that dinner was ready. Lobo heard a shrill whistle and away he dashed, for he knew that it a was Dempsey, the kennel keeper, and how frightfully hungry Lobo was. As he arrived at the Jkennels Dempsey patted him and then fed him. As the moon rose to the heavens, Lobo, who wag, watching about him, came to a start. Something was wrong, he .felt sure. 'He raised his head. and sniffed. Nothing was Wrong, but he felt uneasy; so he waril'y paced in the s'had0ws of the kennels. He was, waitmgwfor what, he knew not. At the same moment two strange men arrived at the home of Dempsey, ,the kennel keeper. There were a few raps on the door and one, the tall thin man, asked: JtMeester, could you tell me where thees Lamontee kennels are? I look iround plenty, but I lose may way in these beeg woods. . , But, queried Dempse', what tcould :you want at this time of hight?

Old Fash- ion School had a grand time dancing the Virginia Reel; watching the babies Cooney and Lohmann sing their duet, suck their suckers, rattle their rat- tles, and blow their noses; schoolboys Baker, Earps, Mendenhall, and Hut- chins were seen dancing with maid- ens, Spellicy, Fischer, and Brown, the belles of the nineties, while the foot- ball heroes, Douthirt and Mumbyl passed the ball. Believe it or not the angels were Miss Robinson and Mfs. Williams; Everybody who was not there miss: ed a. good time. Miss Brewn and her class with the help of Miss Spellicy, Mrs. Kirt, Miss Fischer, Miss Holway, Mrs. Robinson, and many other teachers made the stage sets and had charge of the cos- tumes and dances of the gay nineties. H4..- Girls Go Hiking + The hiking program for this year will be different than last yearls. At the end of the term an overnight hike will be planned, but to go, a girl must have taken at least four hikes of four or more miles each. She must be accompanied by at least six girls from the junior high and an older person. The place for the Overnight bike has not been decided on yet, but suggestions as to where to go on the shorthikes will be posted on the bul- letixi board in the Girls' Gym.

There Were many things to discourage the little band of hopeful Pilgrims. But would they turn back? No, they were looking forward to a new land where they could worship and live as they pleased. And then, when they landed and established, after many hardships, the little colony of Ply- mouth, when they were all comfort- ably settled, they set aside a date on which they would feast and give Thanks to the Great Almighty, with whose help they had endured the long hard winter of hardship and starva- tion. And when Thanksgiving comes again we hope there will be a little place in your mind for this brave little band of pilgrims Young Concert Course Begins e.;a Through the efforts of the Concert Committee the students of the South Pasadena Schools will again be able to enjoy an outstanding series of four 1 educational entertainments.

There are a number of very good pens and pencils which have been turned in. Today there is a total of 125 articles ranging from suede jackets to a collection of keys. If you have lost anything inquire at once to the Lost and Found omce. The staff is there to return lost arti- cles to their rightful owners. Help us by turning in or claiming lost be- longings promptly. 9e School Abolishes Homework + The Ballston Spa N.Y. Junior High School has adopted a new system re- ferring to homework. The idea is that the usual forty- five minutes periods are lenghtened to one hour which gives more time for classworki thus shortening 0r elimin- ating entirely the homework assigne merits. This reduces the number of periods each day from eight to six. The main difficulty however, as it has been proved in other schools, is in getting the teachers to cooperate with the pupils in such a plan. woia Oneonta Cyclery Bicycles Repaired Lawn Mowers Ground Electrical Repairing Vacuum Cleaners Fixed Knives Sharpened Guns Repaired Leather Goods Mended 1905 Fremont Ave. South Pasadena Dear Aunt Susie: Why dont we sing pOpular songs in assembly?

X.Y.Z. Dear X.Y.Z.: I am not quite sure what you mean by titoo-long homework assignments. You may mean one that just seems too long to you because you aren't interested and would rather be doing something else. Or you may mean one that is really too long no matter how hard you work-one that takes more than forty-five' minutes to do. I am going to assume that you mean one that is really too long and tell you to stop working on it after you have worked an honest forty-five minutes. But I mean an honest forty- iive minutesenot one in which you spend five minutes getting a pencil; three adjusting the lamp; six arrang- ing your books and your papers in just the right positions; two sighing; five growling to the assembled fam- ily; ten working; and so on. I mean an honest forty-five minutes-enot one during which you stop and call Sis to find out what answer she got. It doesn't have to be forty-iive min- utes in a stretch. It could be three honest fifteen minute periods with rest in between. That would be better than sixty messy, inattentive minutes full of good intentions and poor per- formance. Begin with a snap. work steadily and thoughtfully, and then ouit when Vou have worked an honest forty-five minutes. Aunt Susie.

I try to make my col- lection different by putting in unus- ual things that nobody else seems to have. In my cat collection I have a trio. In the trio there is a saxophone play- er, a banjo player, and a drummer. I have two other cats that are singing while one of them is playing a flute. I have glass and glass-blown cats. Some of my animals are of wood and some of china. I got most of my glass cats from Chinatown in San Francis- co. i In my dog collection there is a six piece band, a leader, a banjoist, an obist, an accordion player, a saxa- phoneI player, and a clarinetist. In my collection I have both modernistic and realistic dOgs. I have many different kinds of dog families. One is a big collie and all her little puppies playingr around her; another is a Scottie fam- ily. I want to keep on with my hobby because it fascinates me, g-Kathl'yn Jenkins 713.103 , dwagogg.

At the forks, about so far down, youlll find the house. ttAh! Thank you, smiled Pierre and the two strangers walked away. Back at the kennels Lobo heard a sound that he could not place. The scurff on the back of his neck was standing straight up like bristles. Lo- bo bared his teeth, and stood waiting. He could hear two men talking about him, and he emitted a deep warning growl. He grew rigid and tense with waiting. The gate of the kennel yards was being pried open. With a mighty rush all of Lobols tense muscles loosened, and he sprang onto 'the men. One of the men screamed in mortal terror, and as he did so the other man picked up a club and came to his aid. Slowly Lobo was getting beaten back and down, but he had the taste of hot blood in his mouth and battled wildly. Commotion broke out in the house. Sitting up in bed, Johnny yelled to his father in the next room. iiDad! Did you hear that ? i Getting no response he jumped out of bed and to the window. There he saw his father racing towards the kennels. Johnny, following, heard a shot and saw a figure slump forward ahead of him. At the same instant, Johnny caught sight of two iigures slinking into the shadowsecarry a heavy burden between them. Johnny on perceiving this, ran wild- ly to the kennels. Then he stumbled over something. He stooped to see what it was. His face went ghastly white, his hands trembling, he whis- pered, Dad! Speak to me! All was quiet. Then he yelled madly, Dad! But only silence answered him. Slowly he moved away from the hgure of his father. Sobbing, he called to Lobo. As his voice broke the still- nesg, a mocking echo came back to him. He whispered slowly, iiBy ---- Illl get those ---- fiends W110 killed my father, and when I do! He clenched his fists until his knuckles shone white. Then he walked slowly toward the house. The next morning all Platte county was aroused bv the brutal murder of Mr. Lamont and the disappearance of the pup, Lobo. The Northwest Mount- ed Police were called. The Royal Northwest Mounted Commissioner slowlv paced the floor: then suedenlv he burst out with--- itBut have vo'i no description of these men, M1 - Dempsey? Surely if they stOpped and talked to you, you should be able to tell more .of them. HI have told you all I know? smiui the kennel keeper. One of the men was tall and thin with a black must ache, and wore a low hat over his headkshading the greater part of his face. The other one kept in the shad- ows of the porch. HAnd the dog? asked the Commis- sioner. What about him? tiAh! That dog? exclaimed Demp- sey softly. You will know him any-- where, There is a white slash across hi: Chest.

He had had no chance for escane in all that time. For many months he had expected Johnnv to come to his rescue, but he waited in vain. He was constantly muzzled, an'i bruised from beatings given to him by Max, the heavy-set, brutal half- breed, There was a growing, bitter hatred inside Lobo toward all main- kind. All of Lobo's romping puppy days were forgotten. The days when he was free in the kennels and had had many puppy playmates, the warm glorious sunshineiall was for- .ccotten. Only hatred filled his mind: hatred for all living things. Toward evening Max entered Lobois oen, kicking him saveagely; nor did Lobo cower in the corner. He sat faring him. his eves gleaming like halls of fire. He growled deep in his throat and Max yelled. tContinued in Next Issuel Classes See Citzens Voting wee Mr. Dail's and Mr. Earpsi seventh and eighth period classes had a pro titable, enjoyable time Tuesday, IwovA ember 6.

Mr. Dail Conducts Live Discussmns I'JI Each pupil in Mr. Dail's social studies classes wrote a list of impor- tant current events that we wanted most to know about. Then Mr. Dail loaned many magazine's, pamphlets and books to his pupils, to read about the subjects, and give reports to the class. The subjects chosen showed that the important events of the day. were of interest to the pupils. One of them was the quarrel over an agreement between the United States, England, and Japan that Eng- land and the United States should have live battleships each, while Ja- pan had three, but Japan has decided that she will have as many battle- ships as she wishes. Another subject was Crime, Some of the reports told how the prisoners of chain-gangs were treated. Most of the guards are criminals themselves. The states and counties give them that job because the criminal guard, or trustees, do not have to be paid money, but get their sentence re duced, or a complete pardon, if thev do their work well. Their ttworiv' is keeping the prisoners busy, wheths er sick or not. The more work the better the state likes it, and the pris- oners are not paid either. Some of the ttpunishments given the prisoners are as bad as those of the Middle Ages: If the men complain of overwork the guards hit them over the head with the butt of a gun, and then while they are unconscious the truse tees break their arms so they cannot fight bark. They also put them in stocks and sweat boxes. Some are. tCnntinued on Page SI Select your CHRISTMAS GIFTS at Nashts Dept.

I honestly love parties and shows on any old night, school or otherwise, but I also know I cant do as fine quality of work the day after a party or any other late hour festivity.

M.: I am sorry that some of you boys 'who want machine shop can't have it In order to run such a course, how- ever, another teacher would be neces- sary and also more equipment. The space is there but much of the equip- ment has been taken out and so the shop would have to be re-equipped. No doubt provision would be made for this course in junior high if no such course were offered in the senior high, but they do give a splendid machine shop course in high schoolIa course that includes much more than could ever be included in junior high where you are so much younger, So dont give up, B. M., you Will get your chance at machine Shop before you leave high school. I Sincerely, Aunt Susie $.a Dear Aunt Susie: Why cm't the girls of the school have a course in woodshOp as well as the boys? There are quite a large number of girls who I know would like to, and they are as careful, or more so, than the boys. I am sure if we had one, it would be very inter- esting. D. J. Dear D.J.: I think it would be splendid if the girls could have a course in woodshop. I know I wish I knew how to do in- teresting things with a hammer, saw, and nails, and I am quite sure girls would be as careful and would be as successful as boys. tContinued on Page 101 Page 4 eHometoom Doi Homeroom 1C4 1 ,, ,$ 77,- Cue Satuiday, Homeroom 104 held a party at the Masonts cabin at laliys Glenn Ranch Rescit.

We have an excellent system of doing these tests, a system by which the girls play rather than work. Every class 1:; diwded into nine groups. Three of the groups play basketball. The first group in basketball has ten trials daily with the unused hand; second group has ten trials with the pre; tierred hand; the third group has five trials with each hand. The same meth- od that is used for basketball is used for dart throwing and baseball pitch- ing, underhand only. When throwing the dart you are allowed to throw the dart one way during the period of the tests. Miss Dix advises the girls not to practice their tests at home for if they do the tests will not be success- ful. It shows on the tests how a per- son improves daily or if he does not. The girls are going to carry on these tests for ten weeks. No matter what a person is doing in clasg she has to do her test without fail daily. Fog MISS BROWN -h..h.

In the mechanical drawing classes the boys learn the fundamentals of recording their thoughts on paper in the signs of the only universal lang- uage known today. The art of learning to make a work- ing drawing, that is a usable drawing, one that something can be construct- ed by, is the chief purpose of the course. The course ranges from sim- ple objects to complex machine parts, parts of automobiles and furniture. Lettering is one of the most import- ant parts especially in explaining the drawing. e All objects constructed in the wood shop are designed, drawn, and cost estimated in the drafting room.

PARKER ttEat more candW LA TORRE December 17, 193-1 Hobbies Books Vie, . Books are my favorite hobby. Some people call me a book worm because I read so much. I learned to like books when I was very young. My grandmother used to read to me be- fore I was two years old, until I learned the stories by heart. I have several hundred books in- cluding many classics. Some of the authors are Mark Twain, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Anne Fellows Johnston, Johanna Spyui, Francis Burnett, L.F; Mead, L. Frank Baun, Martha Finley, Margaret Sidney, Lucey Fitch Per- kins, and Louisa Alcott. I have read so many books that 1t is difficult to choose favorites, but some of mine are: Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, Prince Jan, Pep, Boy, Black Beauty, Spice and the Devil's Cave, and Heidi. I like them because they are unusually well written and exciting. Some of my books belonged to my mother and grandmother. I also have many interesting books that belonged to my uncle. I expect to be an autohr when I grow up. eNancy Anne Smith 7B-107 11 ,Iheimw 1 Archeology mhoH My hobby is archeolOgy, From the time I can remember I have been greatly interested in anything that has to do with prehistoric animals, relics of ancient civilization, or any- thing of that sort. My first experience was going to the Exposition Park Museum and seeing the wonderful collection of prehistoric animals there. I enjoyed that very much and have gone several times since. My father is a geologist and Spend: a great part of his time studying and working 'in the' open. On many of his trips into the mountains and the des- ert he has had thrilling and interest- ing experiences, and has found numer- ous interesting relics of ancient civil- ization and animal life. They always aroused my interest and curiosity very much. I suppose that is one rea- son why I originally became interest- ed in that study. Although my hobby is of no great commercial value, archeologists of the past and present have done great things for the world, and have played a large part in the prOgress of civil- ization. eStanley Morse 7B 101 Riding m9: On my spirited horse I ride at night On the Arizona sands when the skies are bright; Now and then a star will fall, And through silence comes a coyote's calle This is my hobby. eBetty Lu Forrester 7Be111 ng771WQW Mmmam Rocks + One of my hobbies is collecting diff- erent; kinds of rocks and minerals. When I go on trips in the summer or any other time I watch out for inter- esting rocks. This summer we spent our vacae tion at Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon. Zion Canyon is similar to Yosemite in size and shape but instead of being gray granite it is red and white lime- stone. The rock there is very inter- esting and I got several pieces of the red sandstone. I did not get any of the white, however, because it is up too high. Zion was named by the Mor- mons, who when traveling west came into the canyon. Bryce Canyon is very interesting and the like of it is not to be found anywhere else. Onels first impression of the canyon is of thousands of marching figures. The canyon has been worn down by erosion and only the hardest rock is left. To pick off the sides of the walls is prohibited. but one may pick up any loose rocks along side the trails. The rode: to be found there are sandstones ranging from red to lavender, including white. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the loveliest places one could hope to be. I did not get any rock there, however. because we did not go down into the canyon. At the South Rim one could makn a more complete study of the earth. I found while there the earth was made up of five different rock chan- ters. All of these can be seen at the Grand Canyon. The first chapter shows no signs of animal or plant life. The sebond shows only the low- est types of plant. The third and fourth chapters show more and more and the fifth is the one we are living- in today. There were many museums at the South Rim and we found them quite interesting. Out of this hobby I hope to find many more enioyable things than I already have. Next summer I hone tn go to some more places where I will find many more interestingr rocks. 7Elizabeth Burr 7B-111 'Dccember 17, 1934 LA TORRE Page 7 L080 ttS 0f B it A on attle r h N tCoiitiziucd From Last Issuel ' Keep quiet, you our, or I'll bash now there was no one to feed him, Red 85 Whlte Store your bloomini head in.

Other suggestion from the stu- dents are listed below: An ofhcer from each homeroom should stand by his class mates in assemblies and report trouble makers. March into the auditorium double me from homerooms. Aswign to each pupil a certain as- sembly seat. Have a committee at each lunch hour see that the pupils do not throw their papers on the ground.

Mr. Baker had charge of the making and designing of the whole fioat. Miss Margaret Brown helped him with the designing. They both spent much time wodking on it. Mr. Baker spent practically his whole Christmas vacation. Several of our own students rode on or walked around the float. The theme of the hoat was A Midsummeris Night Dream. Aliene Lytte depicted the Fairy Queen and wore a costume of pale pink. Laura Florence Jacobsen, Patricia Beaten, Judith Frog and Diana Baker were the fairies. They wore costumes of blue, lavender, yel- low, and pink. Boltom, a donkey was Jack Harris. Puck was depicted by Mickey Rooney who wore a costume of green, yellow green and a green elf costume. The elves, the boys who walked around the Hoat were Guttorm Hethland, Dick Hucks, John Daiien, Bert Barry. Bob Beetle, Bob Barry. and Ted Barry. They wore masks and costumes in yellow, aronge, red, and red purple. .y drh Tiger Varsity Plays J unior High Team HE In a game played at the high sehool held, their varsity team beat our ninth grade team.

Now a few amble along with utmost leisure; Wouldnlt it be different if they saw smoke and flames pouring from a window? What would you do in that case? Some people grow panic-stiicken at the sight of fire in the building, but if they keep calm, and think, all the danger can be avoided. Fire drills are to show pupils the routine plan of action. We have to do the rest. Nobody gets fldgety during the drills, and drills are to eliminate confusion in case of a real fire. D.

The constitution must state the aim of the particular club. The object of this is to eliminate inactive and worthless clubs. HsF The Government Class of the Hor- ace Mann Junior High School, Bur- lington, Iowa, held a mock election in there classroom. Several pupils in- vestigated the city polls to see how they worked. Four booths were erect- ed in the room and the students voted on sample ballots out of newspapers. It was quite instructive, . a yillis Brown tContinued from Page 11 Girls Spread --.$ ed.

It furnished a beautiful setting for a most beautiful old custom.

It could sell such things as notebook paper, manila folders, pen- cils, and locks which are needed in our school work. Those who can't get away to buy school equipment could get it here, and it would be a good way for earning student body tickets by working there. I am sure we could make a go of it, so why not try? B.W. Dear B.W., There are merchants in this town who depend for their living on selling folks pencils, paper, etc. These same merchants pay taxes to help support our school so we believe the business should go to them, Yours sincerely. Aunt Susie Dear Aunt Susie: Why don't we try out the Los Ang- eles system of homework-no home- work in the seventh and eighth grades, and in the ninth grade one hour in one subject each school night, Mondaqunglish, Tuesdayremathe- matics, etc.; and no homework over the weekends? Y.N.O. Dear Y.N.O., It is true that Los Angeles is try- ing to limit the amount of homework required but then Los Angeles is a very different community from South Pasadena and San Marino. In our school-community more than half our boys and girls plan to go to college when they graduate from high school. This means that they take the kind of high school work and do the kind of things that will prepare them for colleges-home study is one of those things. In our school-community, moreover, most of the parents want their child- ren to have regular home study as- signments Which seems a most excel- lent reason why the school should give them.

To the promenade deck I went with our friends, who were really going. We went from stern to bow and on every deck Examining the swimming pool, the game deck and all the rest; Watched the hold being tilled and cars hoisted below. And then all too soon through every part Of the great vessel Came a Chinese cabin boy with a gong bidding all visitors ashore. Reluctantly we went and stood cran- inge our necks to see our friends at the windows. Then came the serpentine fiuttering down, Ch how I Wished I might go along As at last the band st1uck up tiAnw chors Aweigh . My heart swelled at the sound!

He had felt sure of the victory, but never in his exper- ience had he fought a rival. like this silver dog before him, Suddenly the big wolf got a hold of Lobo's leg and quickly snapped it, as he would a twig. But the bone didn't break as he had expected, and darted out. For an instant the WOlf had the advantage, and he pressed his gain to the utmost, but to no avail. Lobo had a death grip on his iieck, and slowly but surely was tear- ing out his jugular. As Lobo was do- ing so, the leader got hold of Lobols neck, and sank his fangs deep. The two swayed back and forth. but Lobols grip proved the stronger. Theibig wolf relaxed and lay dead r Lobots feet, A howl of triumph issued from Lobo's throat and he whirled to face the pack. Bleeding as he was, he was ready for another onslaught if it came. But the pack dashed past him and'soOn all that was left of their recent Chieftain was blood smeared bones. Lobo was ruler of thepack. ' Lobo's pack came to be the rulers of the wilds; no other pack dared dis- pute 'their rights to a kill, and none sought trouble with them. The pack became more and more venturesome vhder Lobols leadership. Whenever possible they would raid Indian vill- ages, with such fury and skill that the Indians attached superstition to them. Many were the tales of the terrible wolf pack with a supernat- urr-l leader who was clothed in silver with a white slash across his chest. There were tales of teh leader's knife like fangs that ripped and tore cen- stantly. Many evidences of Lobo's hatred for men were found in the north woods. Scattered ashes of campfires were found with the own- erts skull and bones lying about. Two years had passed since Lobo had been token from the kennels. He had attainerl his full growth, and his huWQ size inspired awe among the Indian tribes who wore unfortunate enough to view him, and his pack If any saw him from a distance it WW. an evil omen of death to the tribe, V THE MASTER OF LOBO Lobols pack had grown so bold that thev now hunted in the daytime. de- fvinrr man and breaking all wolf cus- toms. On one particular dav Lobo caught scent of man. His liDS drew bank in a snarl of hatred. Swiftlv he Pallrvl the pack together Vr-nd they loned awav for the kill. Just ahead of Lobo a black snot appeared on the white surface of the snow. Lobo knew it was man, and hurried the pack into a wild run. The man Lobo sighted was wear- ing the uniform of a Northwest mounted policeman. He looked worn out, but kept determindly onwaid. AS he caught sight of the pack he made a grab for his rifle, and 1muught it to his shoulder. As he did so he rec- ognized the pack as the one the In- dians feared. The pack drew closer, Lobo in the lead. The officer saw Lobo, the white slash across his chest, and with a look of amazement in his eyes, he dropped his gun. The wolves formed a circle around him, and waited for their leader to make the onslaught. Lobo started to charge when suddenly the cry, Itls Lobo! reached his ears and he stop- ped dead still. Some dim recollection crossed his memory. HItts Johnny. old boy! cried the officer. ilLoboI You know me. Had Johnny shown any fear of him, Lobo would have charged without thinking. But there was no fear in the officers eyes, and Lobo withheld his charge long enough to remember him. He thought of. the days in the kennels, of Johnny, his told pal; and this man was Johnny! Warily Lobo approached him. The pack at his back stood rigid, waiting for Lobo to draw first blood. Slowly Johnny stretched forth his hand. The dog advanced very slowly, half way expecting treachery. Finally Johnny touched him, and that was all the wolf pack at Lobo's back needed. With a howl they charged, Lobo whirled to face them; in and out he plunged, snapping at the bewildering pack. Johnny took his gun and used it as a club, fearing to use it other- wise for fear of hitting Lobo. Johnny marveled at the huge silver dog, for in very short order he had the Whele pack of wolves fleeing from them. When at last they were alone, Johnny told Lobo how glad he was to see him and that nothing could stOp them from catching his fatherls murderers now. And Lobo lay at his feet, looking into the eyes of the man who had won his love when he had been a puppy, and who still held his love when he was more than half wild wolf. VI THE CAPTURE For months Johnny and Lobo had been combing the Northland but to no avail, for they had not even picked up a thread of a clue as to the crim- inals whereabouts. Things were bad, but Johnny strove onward, and Lobo was always at his side. One day the two stOpped at a min- ing town to get some information and supplies. They asked everywhere if anyone had heard of the two criminals, Max and Pierre. He entered a small saloon and asked the question there. A short fat man was there, and he said, HSure we've seen iem but that doesnt mean nothinl to you mister! Jchnnyis jaw set hard. Here at last was a clue, and he meant to have it. He strode .over to the man's side, and Lono, growling softly, was at his heels. i Johnny grabbed the fat fellow by the collar. iiI know the law doesnlt mean much to you, fellow, he said angrily, but I can show you some- thing that will. Tell me where those men are, or I'll give Lobo a chance at your dirty throat! The fat manis eyes filled with terror when he recognized the dog, and he told Johnny all that he knew of the criminals. Johnny and Lobo took up the trail. The dOg picked up their scent, and his lips drew back in a symbol of hatred. Two days Lobo followed the trail, and then Johnny suddenly cautioned him back, and pointed out a small seclud- ed, hidden camp. They approached the camp stealthily. Johnny caught sight of two dirty, unshaven men sitting by a small campfire. When Lobo saw them he started to spring, but Johnny laid his hand on the bristling scruff of his neck; HSteady boy! he cautioned, liyou may get your chance yet! Then in a loud voice he called out to them. Up with yeur hands, in the name of the la'W! Max heard, and drew his gun and started to fire, but no sooner had he done so than Lobo sprang toward him, his fangs bared and gleaming, He was upon him before Max could fire .a sin,- gle shot. Max' screamed when he recognized Lobo. Pierre started to run, but John- ny stopped him with a well-aimed list. Then Johnny ran to Max and called Lobo off just in time to save Maxis life. . J . ; With Lobo off, Max felt braver. He said loudly, tiYou ain't got nothin' on us. No proof or nothinl! Johnny was havinq a hard time holding Lobo back, and he said calme 1v. but with a deadly menace in his eves, ttI guess this is enough moot. Either you confess or I'll turn Lobo loose! A look of great horror came into Maxis eves, and rather than have .T-e bo turned loose again he confessed to the murder of Mr. Lamont. Johnnv handcuffed his two prison- ers. Victorv was his. but he gave all of the credit to Lobo, and trinmnh- antlv side bv side, they started the long march home.

I have shells, pressed wild flowers, insects, butteriiies, rocks, and Indian curios. We had a little room that wasn't in use and my mother let me have it for a museum. She gave me some . cabinets and old bookcases to ar- range my things in so that they would be seen easily, The most interesting insect that I have in my collection is a big taran- tula. I was staying up on a desert when I caught him. I went out and hunted all morning until I found him. I put a jar over him and slid a tin under him. I took him home and put Flit in the jar to kill him. I have many :other Spiders but he is the scariest. ' fAnn Stearns 73-101 mea.

The women teachers were already tele- phoning their sympathy to Mrs. Baker. HHe was a special friend of mine, said Mary Ransom with tears in her brown eyes. uI do hOpe they let him go soon. What if they ask f0r ransom? . suggested Milton. uWe shall probably all have to help pay. He uttered his last words with a. tone which did not round as though he would do it will- ingly. HProbably they had a. gun and he couldn't get away. I know I wouldn't try, said Mr. Dale in a frightened tone. I can't bearito think of all the horrible things they might do to him. Mrs. Rydall resembled Felix Cat as she paced up and down the fioor. How they ever got away without someone seeing them, I dontt know, sighed Miss Spellicy. uYou know crooks are .very sly, though, remarked Miss Fischer pro- foundly. Finally, Mr. Douthirt suggested that the men teachers get together to see if something could be done. The women decided on going out to talk it over with poor Mrs. Baker. We were all together forgotten and I can tell you that no studying was done the rest of the time. Brr--ring, Brr-ring, sang the telephone. HWho could it be ? we wondered. HIt might be the kidnappers, some- one said, Finally Mr. Douthirt took down the receiver, HWhatls that you say?!!!, I'Guess what? he asked when he had finished his conversation. That was rs.

So far I have made only six. They are a Fokker triplane, a Spad, a Ncuiport, a S.E.5 Biplane, a J enny, and an Akron fight- er. The Akron fighter is a plane which is carried by a dirigible. The rest ate war time planes of different countries. First, before I can make an air- plane I must have a plan of the plane. Then I take a square piece of balm wood, cut, and sand 'it to the right shape. After I have done that, I cut out the cockpit and put in a little joystick and a piece of paper with little circles on it for the dash board. I also put in a little seat. I make the top and bottom wing and the rudder, and the elevator. Sometimes I make a mistake and put some piece on wrong; and have tto take it off and put it on right. I put a coat of shellac on, and two coats of paint. The airplane is then finished. I got interested in making a'irplane'; at the Orange Grove playground. I like to make airplanes to pass the time away, and for their looks, arr. J think they are attractive. eJohn Dollen 7B 1m 6 Glacier National Park a.. Glacier Park is in Montana and lies between Shelby, Columbia Falls, and Belton. Going from Portland to Spo- kane we followed up the Columbia River. At Belton we took the bus to Lake MacDonald which is a glacier fed lake. The mountains rise from every side of the lake and are covered with timber. There is a great variety of animal life. Many deer, bea '. squirrels, beavers, porcupine, ax d other small animals. A little way up around the lake we found some beaver chips and a tree on its side. The beaver had felled the tree so it would fall across a small stream to help his home. They live right in the water and are very rarely seen. eBetty Arnold 8B-116 .waa He was discovered comfortably Itaking a snooze in his own back yard under the umbrella tree.

The light from the candles revealing the color of their costumes, which are shaded from a dark blue to a pale green. Suddenly, as with a single motion, the candles are extinguished. The curtain rises upon a royal hall. A trumpeter announces the arrival of the King and Queen who are fol- lowed by their court. After the last of the guests have arrived the nurse enters, an infant in her arms. A winged fairy clad inppink enters and bestows the babe with a. precious gifts of beauty, grace, etc. She has scarcely finished when a cloud passes over them all A witch enters! She. is clothed in 3. long dark robe. A slimy snake is' coiled around her waist. A high peaked hat sets off her hard, ugly face, and long hair, the color of seaweed, flows over her shoulders. The throng is horrified, but their feelings are changed to sorrow when the witch pronounces: This child will be blessed with these gifts. but, when she grows to youthful charm a sn'indle will prick her finger, and she will die! tContinued on Page 5y George 0. Bush January 31, 1935. To the Members of the Mid-year Graduating Class Dear Friends: You are soon to take another big and important step 'in your educa- tional journey. It will be necessary for you to adjust yourselves to new and somewhat strange conditions and situations. Your powers of adaptabil- ity will be tested. Your training and growth during the three years in the Junior High School will be reflected in the manner in which you attack the new problems Which will confront you in the Senior High School. You cannot rely 0n past records for your standing in the Senior High Wheel. You must make a new reputa- tion for 1ndu ltrv faithfiilnes nun - tuality, cooperation, and scholarship. The transition will not be difficult if you will do your full part as I know you are capable of doing. I am tremendously interested in your success and trust thatryour new held of activity will yield both pro- fitable and pleasant returns. Very sincerely, GEORGE C.

Tom White With aid of major printers Printing Instructor V.V. Vanderlip 'Snobs eo-oeoe Can you think of anything that makes you dislike a person more than snobbishness or habitual sullenness. The more common of these unpleasant qualities is snobbish- ness. Naturally, a grouch is not much appreciated, but a snob us- ually causes a feeling of resentment by giving the impression he thinks that he is better than the rest of his fellows. Wherever you go, you will find a few of these characters. They generally make a very poor impression on anybody who has to deal with them. Some of them perhaps regard it as a stylish and at- tractive form of existence, but they are sorely mistaken. The modern world has no place for a snob. eo-o-o-oee Our Hearty Thanks so-osos Answering our constant requests for material in the forni of news, literary productions, and other articles, the faculty and ad- ministration have been of inestimable value to La Torre this term. The faculty, supplying us with material collected from their classes and homeroom, has kept us well supplied with news and features while the administration has given us accounts of certain important forthcoming projects. Many students not members of the staff have contributed stories, news articles, and features. To all of these, the faculty, the administration, and the stu- dent body, La Torre gives hearty thanks.

LA TORRE Page 3 Bozois WEEK END ADVENTURE --o-o-o-oa by BARBARA WOODS 1-9: Bozo was unhappy. He was so un- happy that he even growled when Bobby stopped to pet him. But Bozo had a good reason for all this. Bobby and the family were going away. Bozo knew this well enough, for had he not, with his own eyes, seen them carrying things to the car? He surely had, and he wanted to goo too. Bozo was a small, White Fox Ter- rier with a black ring around one eye and a black tail, He was usually ex- tremely good-natured with the family but now he was trying to tell them that he wished to go too if they were going away. Just when Bozo was most unhappy didnlt Perry, the huge yellow cat, have to come into the yard! Bozo was very angry that Perry had seen him in this unhappy mood so he de- cided that Perry would never live to tell the tale. Bozo growled once. Perry kept coming serenely on. Bozo growled a second time. Perry came still closer. Bozo leaped at Perry, but, alas, alas, the artful Perry was too swift for him. He turned and dug his sharp claws into the nose of the un- fortunate Bozo and left an ugly cut. But to Bozo a scratched nose was a minor matter compared to cornering Perry, so he immediately set himself to chasing Perry up a tree. When Bobby's sister Ellen, who owned Perry, heard Bozo barking furiously, she instantly realized that Perry was up in a tree and Bozo be- neath. She hurried out to rescue her pet and seeing Bozois cut nose re- marked, Serves you right, you nasty, little dog. Come here my 'ity bitty Perry. Did the nasty old dog hurt you? Iim just not going to leave you at his mercy for a whole long week- end. As she Spoke Ellen lifted Perry out of the tree and walked away with him in her arms. Bozo watched Ellen carry Perry to the car and carefully set him inside. Then his anger got the best of him and he ran to the car, but the door was shut and Perry sat on the seat with a smurz, cattv smile on his face. Bozo considered the mat- ter and decided that Perry shouldn't be the only one to go. How could he manage to go along? Whv couldn't does: get ideas? Bozo didn't think thev did, but soon he found out he was wrong for out of a blue skv he had an idea. He would hide and when the car started he would follow, Bozo was hiding in the bushes. The family came out and got into the car. The motor began to roar. The car moved. Stealthily Bozo moved out of the bushes and followed. He followed the car for a long time, and then he lost it! He was in despair but he kept on. Oh, there it was again-a shiny, new, tan car! Finally it stopped and the occupants got out and went into a nearby store. Again Bozo had an idea. He leaped to the spare tire and then to the t0p of the car. When the family came back Bozo crouched down so as not to be discovered. Finally they reached their destina- tion. The car stopped and the family got out. Bozo jumped down to lick Bobby and got the surprise of his life. There was a little buy and a girl, but it wasnit Bobby and Ellen. Poor Bozo had followed the wrong car! He was so ashamed that he hung his head down and ran. It began to get dark and Bozo was tired too. He stopped under a large, sheltering tree and went to sleep. When he awakened in the morning and the full realization that he was lost come upon him, Bozo decided to try and find his way home. Many a weary mile he ran until, discouraged and thirsty, he linally stOpped on a little country road near a stream. As he trotted down to the stream his eye caught sight of a huge, yellow cat. It was Perry! For the first time in his life Bozo was glad to see Perry for it meant that his beloved family was not far off. His frenzied barking brought Bobby running to the stream. Bozo was roundly scolded, hut fmally forgiven. for following when he had not been invited. .VHH 7 1,.m1,1g ,1 Soccer a.: In the girls' soccer tournament held recently for homeroom teams, the 9A 115 team won the ninth grade champ- ionship. 9B 205 was runneraup.

No doubt you have noticed the back patio is much cleaner at the close of the noon periods at present than it was at the beginning of the fall term and for this the Grounds Committee wishes to thank you all for your co- operation. The committee had hoped to start a campaign with the start of the new year but the rainy weather has inter- l'ered with the program, however with the coming of good weather and in- reased play in the back patio en- forcement of rules here-in-after des- cribed Will be rigidly enforced. How- ever the job is yours and if the boys and girls of the Junior High want a more attractive school c00peration is necessary from all in order for this play to proceed. Mr. Lohman, sponsor, has worked with the committee and given many useful ideas Which have been put into operation. The following three rules were passed by the student council in or- . der that the plan might succeed. I. No playing in back patio first fifteen minutesof each lunch period. 2. There will be no eating outside back patio. ' 3. There Will be no playing until grounds are clean. 10070 COOPERATION! ! LETS GO! Monrovia High School Orchestra Plays In Assembly -H, . ., The Monrovia High School Orches- tra conducted by Mr. Harold Scott entertained the Sbuth Pasadena-San Marine Junior High School student body as assembly Wednesday, Janu- . my 17. The first number on the pro- gram was a march from ttThe Queen of Sheba. ' Then Song'i from a opera by Richard Wagner was played on the ,cello accompanied softly by the or- chestra. Next came a lively violin solo. The piece played was the Tar- antel whose legend says if you are bitten by a tarantula and dance to the ttTarantel you will either be cured or killed. The beautiful Minuet by Paderewski was played and was followed by a trumpet solo. The proe gram was concluded with the William Tell Overture. hhgd Sleeping Beauty tContinued from Page 1i Waving her arms, she bends again Over her cane and leaves the court in deep despair, her uncanny cackle echoing back from the corridors. A mournful chant fills the air and once more the fairy appears. The court looks at her hopelessly, plead- ing for some escape from the terrible sentence: Alas, I cannot alter this doom, but I can lighten it. The court, Page 5 a little more hopeful, listens, nThe princess will not die, but will sleep for a hundred years. At. the end of that time a prince Will save her from her slumber. Then, and only then will she be aroused. At this the curtain falls on a much more cheerful court. When the curtain rises it reveals a garden scene, Court gentlemen are chatting together, the golden haired princess comes over a small bridge followed by her ladies in waiting. She has on a lovely dress of white, trim- med in gold. It is her sixteenth birth- day. She starts a game of hide and seek and when everyone is hidden she slips away from the hall. Discovering a hidden stairway, she ascends it, find- ing at the top a bent old woman with a spindle. WhJile examining it the princess pricks her linger and falls back, asleep. The witch descends the stairs chuckling to herself. When the tragedy is discovered everything is confusion. The princess is carried down amid a heavy atmos- phere of anxiety and laid on a couch. A few moments later all living things are wrapped in slumber. Eltish hedges dance around them and finally close in to remain so for a hundred years. One century later a black cat with high shining boots enters upon the scene. He is Puss in Boots! He throws his head back and gazes off into space. Hardly has he taken his posi- tion, when a white cat 'carrying a parasol enters. She is White Lady Cat! The two exchange greetings and, after inquiring about the sleeping princess, they hear footsteps, and fall back as a young man lclad in. silver, pale blue, and white enters. After many attempts to pierce the hedge of thorns, the cats tell the prince, for, indeed, it is he, that only through love will the hedge admit him. 'Sud- denlv the hedge opens! The prince and the cats step back as the Iinhabitants of the hall slowly awaken. All at once he sees the Sleeping Beauty! Elated by her charm and beauty he kisses her. This breaks her spell. and rising. they dance together. The throng takes 110 its gav festivities where they left off. When the jov is at its highest the fairy enters, and then the witch who has been transformed. She begs the pardon of those present and dances with the rest. The united prince and princess kneel before the King and Queen, they are wed and as the old saving goes. lived happily ever- after. The curtain fell for the last time amid a shower Of apnlause. All of us surely should be proud of this marvelous production. Those who. although they were not seen. de- serve as much credit as anv. are those owe the stage crew. Whose excellent un-mino made Sleeping Beauty espec- ially effective. -Nancy McFarland 9B Page 6 Homeroom 103 AA. The Spirit of Christmas was pres- ent in abundance in 103 as the hol- iday season drew near. Over night the room had been decorated.

They have been working on vocabu- lary, defining terms, analyzing situa- tions, outlining, and organizing ideas. The have also been studying the ways of using English to convince others. The culminating activity is to be a series of debates on school activities and material used in Social Studies courses. The judges will consider the argu- ments that are advanced, the effect- iveness of the speakers in their use of English and in their delivery. The speakers will be judged accord- ing to this scheme: Argument, 30 per cent; English, 15 percent; Delivery, 15 per cent; and Rebuttal, 40 per cent. ,7, whh MR.

The subjects they wrote about were, ttHow Can Japan Provide Food and Goods for Her Peo- ple? , and uIn What Way Is Japan Becoming Modern? w. MR. JACOBS a.a The stage crew is perhaps one of the organizations in our school that does much work without always get- ting adequate recognition for it. They work faithfully, long before a per- formance, getting scenes set, practic- ing lighting cues, and doing general work around the stage. Seldom will you find a member of the crew idle during a performance. An equal re- sponsiblity rests on each of them. One of the members is stage man- ager. He is the head boss backstage during an act. Perhaps you will be in- terested to know that during the Sleeping Beauty the Stage Crew was under the entire direction of its own members.

In addition to our special perform- ances, the Stage Crew has charge of the stage durnig assemblies It takes care of all the lighting effects and Snenerv for dramatic club plays, dem- onstrations, etc. We all appreciate the fine work of our starz'e crew and are glad to ex- tend a little recognition of their good work. Our School Chosen For N ational Experiment Out of all the schools in California three schools, Fresno, Oakland, and South Pasadena, have been chosen by the Civics Research Institute at Washington, DC. to study American Democracy as it is today. The pur- pose of this study is to enable pupils to conduct their own meetings. Mr. Hutchins has picked his fourth period class and the following mem- bers of the class are the presiding oHicers; Henry Mansfield, chairman; Alice Conner, secretary; Alva Adams, as assistant secretary. The class has been divided into five committees and each are led by a chairman: 50mmitte A, William Dres- ser; committee B, Lealand Risk; com- mittee C, Jean Arthur; committee D, Robert Schureman; and committee E, Warren Beebe. When this study is completed each pupil will have a Wider knowledge of the responsibilities of his state and city. Since the pupils themselves ob- tain material from various ofhcials about the city and they get the latest methods and plans for developments. After Alice Conner has completed ,. the: report it. willrbe sent to Wash- ington D.C. .

The Empress on her throne, the prime ministrese Elva Thornhill lounging at her feet. Eugene White the unsuccessful radio announ- cer now her counselor and Chief scribe sat resplendent in robes of cheese cloth at her right. The next guests were Charle Bon Eske and Warren Cooper, Great Scientists and Chemists.

Glittering with jewels she made such an appearance as to create a murmur throughout the crowd. The court jester Tom Rose laughed uproariously when she trip- ped over her extensive train.

Skipping lightly down the steps came this master dramatist ac- knowledging the Empress with a bow which swept her off her feet. Eugene caught her as she fell. William Tyler and Willis Spence Inventors of the Heavyweight Trans- port Elevator were announced next.

The learned Professor William Estil Moore Einstein and Bud Sherman the Petroleum Engineer for the Dinky Corporation came out appearing not to notice anyone else since they were deeply engrossed in a mathematical calculation to find the price of lima beans in Lima, Peru.

Each pupil had the choice of representing a wealthy busi- ness man, or a farmer of about that period. The best in each case are be- low. They contributed by Martha Spring, and Erwin Larson. Box 415 Punkinconter, N. Y. Jan. 26, 1790 Dear Si; I ain't heard thy much about this here plan you call a Funding Bill, but I dont want it. I had three 10f these here government bonds and some critter on horseback came out here and bought the whole bunch fer fifty cents. I payed three hundred dollars for them bonds and I thought they were- n't worth anything and when a man came out and offered me fifty cents for three pieces of paper, I thought he was crazy. But I wasn't goin' to argue with him so I sold 1em to him and now I find out he's gettin' six dollars apiece each year fer tem. I am writing this letter fer tall the folks here in town and they say fer you to vote against it 'cause they think it ainit fair fer the people who - bought the bonds from to get the money that should be theirs. The whole town sends greetings. Yours truly, Joshua Hayseed Dear Representatives; I am a well to do East New Yorker and I think that the Funding Bill should be passed because I think that it is the only way that public credit can be sustained. No country could endure unless its people and foreign countries have confidence in its gov- ernment and assurance that it will pay its debts. We are greatly in need of confidence at home and abroad. The soldiers who fought and se- cured for us our independence should be given assurance that our debts to them will be paid. We cannot encourage or stimulate foreign tarde unless foreign countries have confidence in our ability to pay our debts. The exchange of bonds will revive business and put a lot of money in circulation, The people will gain more confidence in their government and more goods will be bought and sold. gold and silver will start to cir- culate among the people, and business Will soon become prOSperous. Therefore I hope you will cast your vote for and not against the Funding Bill. Respectfully yours.

Unlike most wh'ite boys, Mr. Sut- ton became friends with the Indians and discovered that they possessed high ideals and such traits a hon- esty, faithfulness, and courage. The Indians loved and respected Mr. Sut- ton because he helped them. As Mr. Sutton learned about the Indians be- fore many white men had been among them his talks are always interesting. The pictures he showed were of the Hopi Snake dance, particularly. Mr. I-Eiwhman, supervisor of ex- tension from the Southwest Mueseum was our second Speaker on Indian life. Mr. Hinchman has studied the Indian for six years. His father awl grandfather also studied them. Mr. Hinchman showed pictures he had t't- ken of the odd coffeur the Indian girl wears when she is of marriageable age. He took pictures at various stages of the hair dressing and then as it was completed. He then showed pictures, which he took from his lap as he sat in the grandstand, of var- ious contest of the Indians. In one picture two women slaughtered a cow in 22 minutes.

During this ten minute period routine matters such as making announce- ments, organizing campaigns, distri- buting notices to individuals, and keeping the homeroom groups more active can be taken care of. This leaves the two afternoon homeroom periods free for group activities and discussions and individual counseling and also does away with making an- nouncements during class time. Sev- eral homerooms report an increased interest in homeroom affairs as a re- sult of this plan. h.-.a.. ...

Eugene White and Dorothy Amland were the other two Speakers and Thor Hamrin entertained With two piano selectfons. Mr. Baker read the names of the graduates and Mr. Heath, pres- ident of the board of education, hand- ed them their diplomas. Mr. Baker amused and amazed the avfience by bringing an unselected group of seventh graders on the stage and comparng them With the grad- uates, the ufinished product, as he very appropriately called them. Thanks to Mrs. Breitkreutz and all those 9B students who decorated our auditorium so beautifully and an or- chid to Mrs. Lembka and those girls who made the lovely Corsages worn by the girls of the graduating class. The flowers which decorated the stage were heather and yellow and pink blossoms and the corsages were made of exquisite red roses. .J. Eugene White Tells Graduates How To Prepare For Life s Work + Choosing a Vocation Among the great decisions of life there arises the one of deciding upon a vocation. It can be a pleasant task or a dread, as one makes it. We may ask ourselves, What contribution will our career be making to societv ? A person may reach the highest posi- tion and yet be a failure as far as achieving happiness or contributing to his community 'is concerned. Seventy-i-lve per cent of vocational- ly trained people change their line of work more than three times durinrr their lifetime.

February 19, 1935 , LA TORRE Page 3 Stamp Cellecting , hI.I Most all boys and girls enjoy some kind of hobby, Collecting postage stamps I find 'is the most fascinating of all. If you own a globe, or world Atlas you may travel around the world in your imagination. Some of the first stamps were printed in Eng- land about the year of 1840. Five years later the American bank note company printed the hrst issue for the U.S.A. Before this time however there were various stamps issued by the different Express Companies, such as the Wells-Fargo and Company. These stamps today are very valu- able. It is said that our President Franklin D. Roosevelt is a stamp col- lectOr and has a great collection, and also that King George of Great Bri- tain owns the most complete col- lection of stamps in the world. When I first started collecting I gathered stamps from all over the world, but I soon found out that it would be im. possible to keep up with all the new issues. Now I specialize in American stamps. There are a number different ways to collect stamps. One may choose two or thtee countries only, 0 a continent like America. There are picture stamps, animal stamps, commemorative stamps, precancels, and many others. For the last three or four years there have been issued many new stamps some comemorating great men and some notable early events. The late t issue has been park stamps. These stamps are very at- tractive. A report has rome from Washington that in the near future there will he issued an entire new set picturing all our dead presidents. eAudrey Grettler 8A 0 Sportsmanship And Service Recognized In Las Amigas 4....

It's not as if a person was eating food, so please tell us why we cant chew gum in class. G.A.J. Dear G.A.J.-: There is very little distinction it seems to me between eating food in class and chewing gum in class. Either is rather bad mannered, I should say. I wonder why we humans want to chew gum anyway. It is, after all, a rather strange thing to do. Some an- imals were apparently meant to chew all the time and nature supplied them with the wherewithal. But humans weren't and soewhy chew gum any- way? Aunt Susie Dear Aunt Susie: Why canlt we go to school not quite so early in the morning and get out . a little later in the afternoon? C.B.M. Dear C.B.M.: There is no law compelling us to begin school so early, but it has proven vastly more convenient in every way to do so. I believe if you had to stay in school until four you would probably be asking why we couldn't begin a little earlier. Yours for early hours. Aunt Susie Dear Aunt Susie: Why doesn't the school fix the clock in the auditorium? The pupils see it and donit know it's ten minutes fast and get restless. It is very impolite to those on the stage when they start to act that wayr J.K.M. Dear J KM I am sure I can't answer this ques- tion. It certainly is unfortunate that the clock is fast because it will mis- lead the audience and cause it to be- come restless and anxious to go. I think this is an excellent thing to ask your Student Council Repre- sentative to take up in Student Coun- cil. That is the best way to get most of our school ills cured. Aunt Susie participated in all games and will re- ceive their honors are as follows: Lions; Sato, Aron, Droll'inger, Kill- ingsworth, J. Knight. Indians: Sato, Fisk, Burkett, Schwartz, E. Young, Lytle, and Jorden. Eagles; B. How- ard. Bears; Lorock and Ozone.

Vdinf- erent languages in India not includ- ing the many different dialects. He stated this situation would clear up in a period of about two Ior.IthIxjeIe hundred years because they are grad- ually adopting other peOple's words. He spoke of the train travel in India. They have four classes, first class, second class, inter class, and third class travel..- The trains provide noth- ing except the seat. If one 1Is taking an overnight train he must bring all his bedding and accesSories'. Along the way the train stops at restaur- ants In the 1arger' stations they al- ' ways have three eating places, one for the Hindus, one for theiMoham- medans and one for the Europeans. r' 11'1 reason for this division is. that there-would be a. religious. fight over the meats. . , .

However, I'hope that you won't all get your eyes on the oii-ice of president of the U. S. at the same time. If you do congress will have to amend the constitution so we can have three presidents at once?' Thus ended the very well- written book, Pigeon City, by Leon T. Whitney. The boys Whom the pres- ident of the Pigeon Club was address- ing were Bud Hitchcock, Dick Cramp- ton, and Bill Brighton. They had- just won the one-thousand mile race with their pigeons. TheSe boys lived in Brooklyn, New York. The author, Mr. Whitney, a well- known Scientist, had an inspirationel motive to write this book. When he was a lad, he, with two other children somewhat like the characters in his book. were partners in the pigeon business Pigeon City, by Whitnev is an excellent and most interesting story. ' A 1' ' A A a V A3111 lMisner 813-105 atA Raising Homers M.-H My hobby is the raising and train- ing of homing pigeons. I think the hobby of pigeons beats all others. I have about seven pairs of homers. They have ,not been laying eggs through the summer because they were moulting. They moult three of four months out of every year. The raising and training of a youngr homer is very simple. You take your young bird out about a mile for the hrst trial. If it comes home in good time, increase the miles to five, If 11; still makes good time, keep on in- creasing the miles until five hundred or more have been reached. The raising of young homers 'is very interesting. You watch for the eggs to hatch, which takes from seventeen to nineteen days. After the squabs are a few days old, you band them with an aluminum band. This band has a number on it, and the number is registered Iin the government pigeon record books. When your homers are old enough to take away, you will haw. the fun of watching and waiting for their return, and timing their flights. . f-Jack Mason Beige 6 LA TORRE February 19, 1935 Memories Recalled Around The Classes The Exchange Editor By Raymond Dooley ' Mg'Bzwe Observes Other Schools ace w-o-e A$- On the French Coast of the English Channel my earliest memories began in the little town of Wimereaux.

Looking up the beach I could see the breakers clash against the cliffs and On the smooth stretch of beach by the town. I have clearer memories of our summer home in the little country town of Isle Adam on the Oise River about twenty miles out of Paris. As I remember the river is bordered by huge trees and undergrowth. Where the trees were not so thick I could see the beautiful fields of fiowers, patches of forest and sometimes glimpses of large homes. The house itself was a sort of villa inclosed by a huge wall. I remember there were wide grounds around the house. The entrance was a big iron gate. A driveway made a semi-circle near the front entrance. I remember a big entrance with steps on both sides. The thing I remember most was how big the house was. Three stories and an attin. I remember lik- ing to run around the third storv where the billiard room was. The back garden was much bigger than the front. In the back there were many trees and hedges. The wall was cov- ered with thick tangled vines. At the end there was a tall hedge with an opening on each side near the wall. Beyond the hedge was still another enrden. This was a vegetable garden. I remember keeping my rabbits at the Wwv end. The front part of the back warden was a big lawn with swings, chairs and tables. In the middle was a fountain large enough for wading. T also remember an especially bit! tree where my unrle nut no a swivw. When I was bushed high enough T remember seeing high Over the wall into other gardens This is one of my happiest memories.

Mem- bers of the class have picked various projects and topics for study. Some of the projects include making maps, reading books, writing reports on interviews, writing plays, and pre- paring debates. Much of this work is correlated with work in English class- es. The problem of American Culture deals with cities, communities and neighborhoods. It is surprising to know what changes have been made in the neigh- borhoods of South Pasadena. Many interesting questions have been brought up in class, such as: Do we need more people to live in South Pasadena?

Today we can train for these occupations but in the next dec- ade there will be as many new fields developing and as many old ones c01- 'lapsing as in the past ten years. What is to be done? We must study facts from many sources and become acquainted with modern sit- uations. We cannot be guided by the solutions of even a year ago. A broad training is the soundest training. To. day when it is impossible for anvone to definitely be sure of a job in the iine he prepares for, versatility is to 'be most desirable. Evening schools and correspondence courses are doing much for the betterment of educa- tion. It is important that we be in earnest about this business of general preparation. We must study with a burning desire to become thoroughly acquainted with the fields of our study, if we are to succeed. Tt is important to plan for leisure as well as nhweherr 'i ?'WM' . Wm three C's .of education today are citizenship. character, and culture. A good citizen is one who knows the laws and not only ohevs them but helns others to obey them also.

A Rustic Log Cabin 0h The Wiilemette After the sun had cast its last lengthening, golden rays on the peace- ful waters of the Wiilamett, a more romantic air was felt as the mellow glow from the moon sent the light upward in the eastern sky. The night creatures, night hawks, crickets, frogs, coyotes, and others chimed in, 'in their evening chorus. As the water foil gently over the wide bed of rocks it :1:rved as an ec:o:npa:3ist to the glue dub of night creatures. On the bank of the river and 3,. 111011; the gigantic iir trees, was a typical rustic log cabin of the Oregon weeds. The stilt-iike foundation on which the log cabin rested, and tho Linmil timber which served, as a back- ground to the picturesque Scene, gave a natural setting for our summer re sort.

Bob Schureman made his speech a little comical by saying, UThose of us who have slipped on the gym field have noticed the ab- sence of grass. It's a good thing that the skating was stopped out in front of the School because the grass was begin- ning to look as if it had been plowed and then packed down by a steam roller. We wonder if Seymour Hayes and his friends are on speaking terms af- ter their ttswim in the fish pond. From the Hallway it looked as if each was trying to be the statue cen- terpiece for the fountain. Better bring your bathing suits next time, boys. Following the fine production of ttMrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, the cast enjoyed a party on the stage. Everyone had his fill of cake and pop. The South Pasadena Junior High School is noted for its organizations, clubs and other things that promote friendship. Every year lists of clubs are given to the pupils, from which they select the club they wish to join. The club activities are very interest- ing. The dramatic club gives exhibits every so often, as does the sewing club. The tumbling club treats the student body with an act of tumbling occasionally in assembly. There is also a stamp club, a sports club, a radio club, and many others. The girlst organization, Las Amie gas, is very pOpular. It meets twice a month in the school auditorium. At the meetings they usually discuss schiol problems, and then have some kind of entertainment. Las Amigas elects officers every term. Bv the work of these officers and the cooper- ation of the girls it has become a successful club. Any organization is sure to be a success it its aim is to promote friendship and goodfellow- ship.

Any teachers, who are not liked will be fired on the spot. Perhaps the whole preseht'faculty will be fired and new teachers employed. We are to have complete student control. The reason for the introduction of this plan: is .most of the students have beenyery V .disfsgtisned with the present faculty. L-Of course a situation like this could not go on for very long, so this plan of the pupils hiring and firing the teachers has been decided upon. We think this plan will be a huge suc- cess, and everyone will approve of it except, perhaps, the teachers. All the teachers will be put on a week's trial, and if the pupils are not pleased with their conduct at the end of that time, they will .be fired im- mediately. We hope that HRandolpo Hutchins will stop banging doors . and that Noisy Breitkreutz will stop yelling in the corridors and disturbing class- es.

Miss Williams Miss Spellicy a d Miss Fischer directed by Baldy Davis, will do the serving in the dining room. Mr. Dail and Mr. .Mendenhall have offered their services as the chefs in the kitchen where they will put their amateur touches to the juicy, savory steaks and soup, and take on the re- sponsibility of the cooks duties. On the dance fioor will be placed a new type of gigolo who will teach anyone the newest and modern steps for a treat at the bar. Chief Vanderlip has consented to organize a few of the hovs into a hot dance orchestra. He mentioned that he would probablv ask Mr. Ayers to be the croOner f0 . theiornhestra.

Have you heard about the marvelous new game called The Farmer in the Dell. 104, 106, and 204 are having a grand six day run-around and so far the characters seem to be fairly chosen. After some argument Jack Stever assigned himself the part of the farmer. Not to the surprise of the envious girl contestants Jack immed- iately chose Dorothy James for his wife. The child turned out to be that sweet innocent Walter Ball. Walter chose as his nurse that well-informed Evelyn Crump. Evelyn chose as the dog her ever faithful Buddy Martin. Wanting a fight or two Buddy chose Helen Ide for the cat. Bud Bloom- quist was chosen for the rat. Here's hoping he keeps at a distanee. 11ml chose Dorothy McComh for the cheese. Be careful Bud we know she's waiting with a trap. The knife is yet to be chosen. Rumors are, how- ever that Joyce Miller will be ehoseh because that look of hers cuts Hirourrh them all. We wonder what she will originate for Bill Symes if she is chosen. . -Q-h 'Rough Stuff Homeroom 204 recently had a pic- nic at Riverside Lark. They just ate and ate and ate.

Teachers Meais Revealed There are many pupils in this school 5 who believe that the teachers have different and better things to eat then we do, in the cafeteria. For their beneht I will tell you about an experience of mine; the time I dress- ed up in mask, wig, and high heel shoes, making myself look like Miss Robinson so that the rest of the teachers wouldh'd mind my eating with them. Well, the first things that I came to was Baker's products, rather tough dough you know. After taking a piece or twe I went on to the vegetable section. I never saw so much corn in all my life. There were black cobs, yellow cobs, brown cobs and Jacobs. The next foods were meat and fish. Seeing Mr. Mendenhall choking over a herring in a corner, I dug my fork into a piece of fish to see if it was really as boney as all that. To my surprise I found out that each fish had one hsh hook in it. What a Fig- cher! ! l I could do better than that. All of the meat that they had was: fowl, so I took a Robinson. Then I came to the toast and area- here. Next to each dish of ereek was a little card telling what kind it was. Of course, I had to get some 01? each kind I had never had before So. I had to eat Breitkreutz, Flakers, and Cheese Fluffs, and she reniied that they were not hurnt, Hjust,a little too Brown? V Now you can well understand that they have different food, riqht enough, but I leave it up to you to decide whether it is better than ours or not.

After some discussion how- ever. it was decided that ice-skating - would be better. All the corridors and sidewalks around will be flooded for an ice skating rink. We Will all be. furnished with skates and also several regulations. These are as follows: 1. Nothing but skates are to be worn in the halls. 2. No one person may go alone without the stlong support of two others. 3. The ice must be furnished by the students entirely. W.A.

HIGH SCHOOL No. 9 Special Literary Number Starr King Pupils Visit Our School + Our students ,body ofiicers played host to the executive board of Thomas Starr King Junior High School re- cently. These student officers spent an afternoon inspecting our building and visiting classes. They were en- thusiastic in their praise of the work- inspiring atmosphere and spirit of fiiendliness in our school. They were particularly impressed by our beaut- ification prOgram. These boys and girls from Starr King visited us after our own student 'bodyihad spent an afternoon at their school. Our officers found a number of good things being done at Starr Kng which we might adopt with modifications. Chief among these was the idea of Control Day. Every Tues- day they have what they call tiSilent Passing Day. They have their safety committee members stationed around the building to see that the pupils do not talk.

Through these he recognizes cer- tain duties and obligations. First of: all, he finds the necessitv f0 ahiding by the laws of his nation and state.

These pictures portrayed how mankind originated according to the evolutionary theory. 011 c of tho highlig hts of the picture was the figure Of a man sawing wood photogrenhed through the eye of a fly, thereby enabling us to see things as a. fly would. The students were highly amused to see a. trained 11y juggle tiny Hy furniture with his legs and sit or: a small chair and eat from an equally small table. Another interesting part of the pic- ture was the portrayal of a group of ants busily removing a twig from the entrance of their home. These pictures were enioyed by the students because they differed from anything they had ever seen before. One- Act Plays Friday Evening -.- On Friday evening, April 12, the three' dramatic clubs of the junior. high will present an evening of one act plays. Members of the casts have been rehearsing almost daily and a fine performance is expected.

Vanderlip -0-0+ Feeding the Mind --o-o-o-- itBooks are the food of the mind, said Lewis Carroll. In his essay on Feeding the Mind he compares literature as the nourish- ment of the mind to food as the nourishment of the body. He stresses the importance of feeding the mind the proper kind and amount of food. Indigestion results from theconsumption of indiges- tible foods. Cheap literature and too much reading rob one of men- tal health rand appreciation. As your body needs a well balanced diet in preper amounts, so the mind must have a proper reading diet. As food must be chewed thoroughly to make it available to the body so must we properly masticate what we read by taking time to think it over if we would profit by what we read. He sums up his rules for feeding the mind by saying we must give the mind the proper kind of food in proper amounts at proper intervals in proper variety and properly masticated. Think these 4 over, apply them to your reading and you will without doubt get much more satisfaction of your reading. Can You Spare A Razor Blade? --.F The coat hanger and razor blade drive went off well. It is the first drive of its kind that our school has ever had.

Some of the boys have developed original stunts which they do with the great- est of ease.

Sud- dcnly his body grew tense. He was listening. HHey! Did you hear that ? he cried excitedly. UI heard the same thing twice yesterday. Sounds as if it were ' om the cliff. I thought yesterday it might be Old Rex, but I looked and looked and couldlrt see a thing. ttOld Rex! gasped Mary. ttYou deirt suppose - - But I didn't hear anything. I thought surely youtd hear it, too. Toms voice had a discouraged note in it. Your ears are always sharper than mine. nEat your cake, Tom, Mary coaxed. tlI just can't eat much since Harry has been missing, and Tomis voice broke as he hung his head to hide the tears that forced themselves out in spite of his rapid blinking. Mother doesn't think Harry was drowned, observed Mary. UNot drowned? queStioned Tom. UThen was did happen to him ? HMother's afraid that when he was out in the sailboat during that term rible storm, he was kidnapped and that the boat was turned over just to make it look if he was drowned. t'But why would anyone want to iidnap Harry, protested Tom. 7 Remember the morning after old Jim H whims Was murdered how strange Ilaz'ry acted? Mary asked. 1 HMother thinks Harry knows who did it and is afraid to tell. w Town walked over toward the edge of the cliff, scanning the sea as it washed over the rocks far below. See that dark spot down there? Itll bet it's a cave. I wonder if there is any way to get down to litim questioned Mary. i ttAfter the tide has gone down we might tie some ropes together and slide down. Tom replied boldly. We could tie ropes to that big oak tree. The two rode home on their bi- cycles to secure some rope and a lantern to explore the cave; if there were a cave. Supplied with the lantern and nec- essary rope; the two hurried back to the cliff. Both deep in thought and imagine ation, they worked swiftly and silent- ly. The rope having been tied secure- ly, Tom started down, hand oVer hand, the lantern over one arm. Come on, Mary, are you scared? called Tom impatiently. 'Tm coming, replied Mary, hand Pm not scared. I can do anything as well as you can. ttNow don't start that, wetve got to get down quickly while it is still light. Tom jumoed the remaininw four feet and immediately started search- ing around the rocks and in the crev- ices while he waited for Mary. Catch- ing up with him, Mary started with him in the dircztion of the hole. As they chew near What seemed to be a cave they heard a soft muiiiecl whim- 1391 . It seems to be coming from be- low, whispered Mary. ttHush! Tom ordered, troubled. They were standing close to a jun- iper bush. Not watching t1: waves, they were frightened when a large one came sweeping over the rocks. Mary stumbled back against the bush. Look! Tom! Mary screamed. There's a big hole right behind this bush. uThat's where that sound came , from, yelled Tom. As he crept closer to the. hole and lowered the lantern on a short rope. Mary turned pale. uIt's Rex and Harry! she gasped. ttHow did they come to be down there? Go get Dad and get back as quick as you can, commanded Tom. 'tI'll stay here. It was growing dark but luckily the cottage wasnit far off. While Mary went for help, Tom looked a- round for means by which he could hoist Rex out. Just then he heard his father shouting. Is everything all right? Just a minute and TI! be down. ' Tom's two uncles who were visit- ing at the cottage when Mary arrived had come along to help. The pit that Harry and Rex were entrapped in was about thirteen feet deep and three feet in diameter. 7 Mr. Marshall tied one end of the rope around his waist and placed the other end between two rocks to form a pulley. The other two men held the other end and let him down into the pit. Rex was hoisted out easily. Then a. blanket was used as a hammock on Which to place Harry and he was brought up. After two days Harry had recover- ed somewhat from his critical condie tion, but he was ordered to remain in bed for two weeks. Rex 'in the meantime had fully recovered. Mary and Tom were impatientlv waiting for the day when Harry would be well enough to reiate what happened that stormy night after the murder of old Jim Hawkins.

I'll just have to train this shirti' In those early days beforekinder- garten, my only foretaste of formal education was given once a week when my younger sister and Irwent with my mother to the Public Libra- ry, where she attended a parent-eu' ucation class and we played under the direction of a kindergarten cadet teacher. The result of that education- al period was that it took years for me to become convinced that the songs we sang were not nHere We Go Around the Library Bush and. iiOh My Darling Lemon Pie! In kindergarten my education didn't proceed fast enough to suit me and I got into a good deal of mischief. The teacher told mother she'd like to lift off the top of my head and watch the wheels go arOund as she believed they went the opposite way from most children's wheels. Perhaps that was because I was left-handed and had always had difficulty with handwork, of which kindergarten seems chiefly composed. First grade was mhre'to my liking and I seemed to be with a group that ate up the early arithmetic pro- blems with zest-although phonics was my favorite study. Anyway, when we got into second grade we were ahead of the other 1A group and a teacher, new to the primary grades, was trying to even us up. Every day for two weeks I went home to my mother and wailed: I wish the tELLcha er thought we knew more, Soon I had occasion to reap my reward of this complaining for we were given extra desk work to do for a half holis' every day. I was always helpful like . that about getting the class in for more work. In third grade I had artcacher fe- mous in this eommunity, Miss Craba ' tree. She helped me to be less sensi- tive and to believe more in myself. In the fourth grade I had a good time leading the mathematics group and directing the oral drill and con- tests. This was all very well until I found out I was being called titans; - eif's pet and it took me a couple of years to live that down. Nevertheless I made a hand-worked pillow for that teacher when I was out of her grade tContiniied on ??zige 91 April 11, 1935 LA. TORRE Page 5 + w , -+- As we entered, the high walls loom- ed above us like huge castles with their numerous turrets and towers. The cool morning air brushed against our chapped faces; As the sun rises in the turquoise, airy, expanse, the Wind's sighs be- came lower and lower until they died away in the bright morning air, The flowers were unfolding their neatly pressed bonnets to protect them from the sun's gleaming, burning arms that reach out and try to envelope them in its heat. The Joshua. trees raise their stlckery, prickly arms. The great walls and cliffs rise out of nowhere to relive the monotony of the desert waste. The formations of rock and volcanic mud are turned into colors of green and brown and red and pink. The echoes of a. thous- and winds whine through the cracks and pillars on the rugged face of the cliff. Every noise that is heard is soft and murmurs of earlier times I do not know. i --Bob Jordan, 8B 3. Book ReView r -o-- 'Ferdinand Magellan, Bartholomew Diaz and Vasco da. Gama hitched chairs closer toward the table in Abel Zakutois house on ahill in Lisbon over looking the sea. With Zakuto they were discussing a sea route to India. to obtain spices. suddenly a. girl rush- ed through the doorway, looking hunt- ed and alarmed. She couldnit talk be- cause she was too terrihed. Nicolo Contia Venetian, arrived next morn. ing from Venice and met Ferdinand the King of Spain. Abdul found out from an old sailor that the girls name was Nejmiand. She was an Arabian. Amid great celebrations Gama de- parted from Portugal bound for India V to get the spices. Venice was trying to stop Portugalts spice route to India and so hired the Pirate Captain Abdul to waylay Gama on his return. If you want to know who this Ara- bian girl was and what part she play- ed in the story read the book, Spice and the Devils Cave , by Hewes. It givesa picture of the daring exploits of Lisbon's seamen in their attempt to establish a route around the Horn to India. Other books by Hewes are Glory of the Seas and Swords on the Sea . I like the book because it keeps your interest all the time. I recom- mend it to both boys and girls in the Junior High School.

A group of people piled out of it and began trooping up the tiresome trail to the caves. On the way they had a refreshing game of snowball. Soon the caves appeared and as we entered the cold air rushed to meet us and sent cold ripples down Our spines. When we were all in we were led down a dark mysterious stairway. When we breathlessly reached for the bottom of the stairs we heard a shrill ear- splitting screech, which was echoed by some of our party. The guide laughed and explained that is was the wind whistling through a hole. Then the guide led us over the hoot which was like a cactus bed because of the numerous stalagmites, to a small mysterious looking hole, One at a time the people peeked through. It was my turn. As I eagerly looked through I saw a forest of glistening, sparkling spikes that hung from the bottom and top. In the middle was a large stalactite which was six feet across. It was the exact color and shape of a heart. The glellming red color from the heart cast a red glow over all the surroundings. Numersius sights such as these were encountered and when you were in the open air again you felt you had been in a diff- erent world. -Margaret Cook 8A Be Sure to Come Friday As I was sitting lazily in front of the tire with my dog. I looked up at a picture over the mantel. It was a little winding path that went into a. forest. I didn't see the end and so many times I wondered where it went. Finally I got very sleepy and dazed off into the land 0; dreams. It seemed as though I went right up the path around the turn into the green, cool, nowery forest. I had gone about a quarter of a mile when I saw a. pal- ace stretching its towers into the sky like a gallant knight so strong and straight, with its crimson roofs pierc- ing into a blanket of blue. The draw bridge hung open like a. butterfly just opening its wings into a beautiful day. Across it walked a. little fairy withywings of gold glittering in the sunlight. She started dancing toward me with court people following after her who looked like a vivd colored bunch of flowers. Just when she was about to speak to me I was awakened by my dog barking. -Billy Woodward 7A W A Description go: As one leaves Manitou, Colorado, to go up Ute Pass one sees great tower- ing pine covered mountains looming in front. Along the way are rolling hills with shady pines. Tiny wild flow- ers bloom along the way. Further a- long two huge red slabs of rock stand out. There are rocks describing every- thing imaginable beyond. This is called the Garden of the Gods . The road winds along over narrow cliffs. On one side mountains of rocks tower over the road. 0n the other, far below, the brook tumbles and splashes along jumping rocks and white foam Spurting in the mountain I air. A little way on, the road levels down to meet the land the river flows on. There are wide places along the road now where cars st0p to get cold ice water from the brook. Presently the road widens and one comes to a little village where the houses are scattered here and there. This little village is called Cascade. Turning to the right and going up hill about a. stones throw One sees a little white and brown school house almost hidden by tall trees. Farther along-ls a tall wide, white building completely surrounded by trees and mountains. Colorado has numberless places of beauty within its border. e-Geraldine Whitney SB Continued on Page 9 ijperts Gbserver o + Do you know that Wally Grant is on 1115 way to set a new school record in the high jump? He has already jumped 5 feet 3 inches with the school record only 3 inches away. Hans Gas- per has unomcially set a new record for class A in the 75 yard hurdles at 9.5 seconds. Undoubtedly the honor of being the best track man in our school goes to; Hans Gaspar with Ed Halminski, Wally Grant, Lloyd Van Deventer, and Ted Young right at his heels. Our hats are doffed to Jaek Elser, a 7B. He has, it is believed, the mak- ing of a very fme track athlete. , We change the subject to tennis. It seems that there will probably be a three way tight for the boys title, between Henry Mansfield, Don Lee, and Pete Van Kuran.

In the second track meet of the year Hans tFlashl Gaspar'broke the existing school record of 5.8 seconds in the 50 yard dash set by Johnnie Alexander and Coleman Macdonald by .1 of a second, thus making the new record 5.7 seconds. It is the opinion of this writer that the boys that are the best on the bars are Howard Rufer, Seymour Hayes, Peter Guillen, Hal Rothonberg, and Dennison Herring. Each noon after a hastily devoured lunch, -the girls on the basketball teams of captains Carrie Pfeiffer, Lois Wohlwend,-Mary Mosher, Shirley Pe- terson, and Elizabeth MacLenna, rush to the gym to take up their mad scramble for the noon basketball championship.

At the last Parent-Teacher Association meet- ing, Mr. Baker presented the results to the parents. For the benefit of our readers, La Torre has gathered some of the outstanding facts. Three out of five boys in Junior High belong to the Boys Scouts 01' the Y.M.C.A. While only one in three girls belong to the Girl Scouts or Campfire Girls, Twenty-five percent of the pupils reported that they never go to private parties while twenty percent or almost an equal humber go to one or more parties a week. The remainder of the pupils average one a month. Do Junior High School pupils know how to dance? Forty percent of our boys do and eighty-six percent of the, girls do. No one will be surprised to learn that on the average girls learn to dance when they are ten years old while the average boy waits until he is twelve. All of our pupils attend the movies. The average is once a week but only slightly more than half have ever been to the Community Playhouse or legitmate theater in Los Angeles. All but fifteen percent know how to swim and 'in this respect the boys are up with the girls. Sixty-four per- cent know how to ride horseback and ' here again the boys are up with the girls. About one third of the pupils take music lessons but there are more girls than boys in the group. The girls VWho take music, practice almost twice as much per week as the boys. It was found that families pal to- gether best on trips and picnics and at dinner parties to which guests are invited. In stating preference for social ac- tivities sports of all kinds headed the list. Next in line was dancing, then reading and radio, music, parties, etc. Almost every child in school indicated that he had some hobby or other; col- lections of a hundred different var- ieties topped the list, then came sports, model airplanes, riding, read- ing, radio, boats, music, and construc- tion. Junior High School pupils are en- ergetic readers, some pupils reading as many as thirty-eight books a month. On the average boys read three books a month while girls read seven, if the reports which they made on this questionnaire were accurate. April 11, 1935s The Desert + The blazing sunibeat down upon the endless desert. In the distance two brown specks plod wearily forward step by step over the burning sands. . ' An old prospector pauses a mo- ment to speak an encouraging word to his faithful burro, and glances. hopelessly again at his empty can- teen. ' He looks again at the faint green speck on the horizon, Is it an oasis or isit just another mirage? -Dorothy Walter 813 Q:a The Arch of Color Ht We heard, over the radio Saturday afternoon, that a beautiful rainbow lay across the sky in a perfect semi- circle. We rushed out of the house to look at it, It nearly took our breath away, the colors blended into one another in such perfect harmony. The sky was gray with clouds, so that you would scarcely see the purple. When we first saw it the colors shone out full, and as we watched, they slowly faded into light pastel shades, like delicate howers going to sleep. We had just about decided that it was going to die away altogether when once again, the colors burst forth. The sun was shining on the dew covered mountains sparkling and gold. The rainbow seemed to just rise out of the mountain and set forth to seek its fortune on the other side of the world. The golden mOuntaln with the lovely arched rainbow starting up form it, made us think of the old legend about the pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow. Wouldntt it be splendid if one of us might have been on the mountain at the time, just underneath the rainbow. I won- der what it would be like. I think it would be just like lying on a dew covered hill with beautiful flowers and swaying grasses nodding to and fro at me, as if they were saying, Isn't the world a beautiful place? wMargaret McClung am Girlsi Badminton Tournament + The annual girlst badminton doubles tournament has started with a bang.- Thirty-two battling teams are tight- ing with keen rivalry for the champ ionship.

They were shown the improvements made in gas stoves during the last few years. They were directed by a young lady from the appliance department. Then they were shown through the department of heavy hotel equipment where they saw st0ves, toasters, broilers, and im- mense soup kettles. The Home Economics Experimental Kitchen was the most interesting of all. There the director, Miss Warner explained what the department was doing to simplify cooking.

E ery Sunday I read the article in r Times Magazine about stamps. Som times it tells about the pictures 0 different stamps and sometimes tells about the very rare stamps. O- of these was found by a London new boy. He sold it to a collector to twenty pounds, but it was real worth much more. I haven't any very rare stamps, b it is interesting to look up in libra books the value of the stamps if have them. The Times gave a thou and stamps to any person getting 0. new two months' subscription. Yo have to go from house to house unt some one will subscribe to the Time I got the stamps in about a. week a-. thought it. was well worth the wor put into it. There are many different kinds . collections. Some people c o l 1 e c stamps from diaerent nations, an some collect stamps with differe pictures on them. I collect America stamps especially, but keep an stamps I can get, Collecting stam is a. lot of fun and a very absorbin pastime. e + Puppets I think puppets are one of the mo interesting hobbies a person can hav The puppets I have made are iver simple but like real people. They a made of wood because I am better : sawing than I am at sewing. T- book called Bullocks Handiwork f . Boys by Jack Becholt tells how I: make them of wood. I have had three shows with th help of several of the neighborhoo children. The first show censisted a two parts, one that we wrote on selves, called Rip Van Winkle, an a show by a clownacrobat, The se 0nd show was named The Gold Bug by Edgar Allen Poe. The third she was Hansel and Gretel . In the fit show I manipulated Rip Van Winkl in the second the professor; and i the third, Hansel. Our stage is a fairly large one wit red, white, and blue lights a. boy wire for us. The stage has a rack to ban the puppets on that are not movin so that you can work one puppet : a time. We found there is almost no e- pense to puppets and the stage an to give shows. It is much more in giving a show than seeing one. Ther are many more interesting hobbie but give me puppets. -Elinor Carpenter 7B 10' Bring Your Date April 11, 1935 LA TOERS Page 9 Autobiography Ulontinued from Page 4i because I appreciated her giving me a chance to be first in something. My fifth grade stands out in my memory because of interesting social studies projects on Colonial IJife and Mexico. I got so I could Spell and rat- tle 03?! those Mexican names to suit Stuart Chase himself and I wore out everything and everybody getting ex- hibits to take to school for our fmal exhibit. It was about this time that I didnt know what to do with myself at home after school. One day I was asking my mother what there was for me to do and at the same time watching the colors in a gas flame. I exclaimed about the colors and the motion of the flames and my mother said, tiJeanne, you could write a poem a- bout that, I believe. Apd from that suggestion dates one of my most in- teresting hobbies and one I enjoy most: trying to express in poetic form color, motion, and the drama of life. During the sixth grade I was con- stantly looking forward to junior high school. This had a good affect upon my work, I guess, even bringing my penmanship up to a certificate stand- ard. I had fun in some small dramatic productions and in whatever made school work more'alive and interest- ing to me. Now that I am in the long antici- pated first year at Junior High, I am as thrilled as I thought I would be, hnding every bit of .the work here interesting. Last summer came the crowning experience of my twelve and one half years when my father drove us to Montana and home by way of four of the National Parks. I am glad, as I end this autobiography, to have had this chance to travel through many states and to see many wonderful sights, the better to appreciate my native state, California as a place in which to live and go to school. + Seymour Hayes: Iive changed my mind, Mr. Cooney: Thatis good.

Grace Line boats such as the Santa Paula and Santa Teresa shove their bows up towards West Basin. Lumber boats steam past the little Watchorn Basin on their way to the many lumber docks in that Channel. Tankers loaded down to the cargo limit make their passage up to the Richfleld, Standard Oil, Rio Gian- do, and other oil docks. One can see ships of all nations weighing anchor for distant lands. Japanese boats, covered with banners are heading for home. Their crews look happy with their broad Oriental grins, and almost always there is the dim outline of the fleet, ghostlike objects on the hor- izon, ready for anything. Could anyone help but feel the ro- mance of the harbor? Nathan Benedict 83-121 One-Act Plays tContinued from Page ll by Miss Fischer, will present, UIn the, Kitchen of the King.

Fantasy The Distaii' Side . wk A clever witty comedy plot built on modern English life of the upper- class, centers around the character of Alex Millward, young and charm- ing daughter of Mrs. Evie Millward. Alex desires to go on toe London tage; and t; that end is bending all her efforts. Her mother and her family are much distressed about this idea of hers, and when Toby Chegwidden young suitor of Alexts, wants her to marry him and go with him to Calif- ornia where he has just obtained a position, her family try to persuade net that this is what she should do. She, however, still clings to the idea of a life of her own, a career as up- posed to marriage, and as unsettled in her mind. She finally decides, how- ever, that she is really in love with 'Loby, and accepts his proposal and goes with him to California. After her decision, her mother and all re- laimns react against it, and think of their loneliness without her, furn- ishing much comedy and amusement. The play ends riotously with Alex and Toby, who has just convalesced from a serious illness in the Mill- ward's home, leaving for America, leaving a comically desolate family behind them. The characters as a whole are well portrayed, and furnish much amuse- ment. They are the type of people who appreciate the manners and 0- pinions of life, and perhaps not bother considerably with the graver things of mere moments. r1319.37 are charm- ing, well-bred, and interesting poo- ple, and an evening with them is a treat. Perhaps the character that pleased me most was that of Evie: sister, Liz Frobishe.VShe stirs up a whirlwind in every scene she enters. Hers is a nature which is made to upset every circumstance she con- tacts, and yet she is jolly, adds much to the humor and brightness of the play, and does so in a very real, very pleasing fashion. A sense of entertainment was left with one witnessing this play. The lines were good, and sets pleasing. A good play and well worth seeing! -Jeannette Norton See Elmer Friday April 12th 7:30 p.121.

We went through a forest of stiff, dead 1.1 ees looking for ad the bordered on all of dark browns and grays which on 3' added world like ghosts, sides by towering Chris more to the ghostly appearance of the dead trees. Then around a corner befell a most beautiful sight; shim- mering aspen leaves blown by the wind and tall grass swaying with them. Then ever farther on was Toul- umne itself. At first it looked very barren, but as we stayed a while we found it to be quite the contrary. We were very much surprised to find that it con- tained many colorful things. First, the Toulumne River, green-blue and silver foam thundering its way through the valley. Then came Wild mushrooms, strawberries, and flowers. At night the full moon rose and began its journey from east to west across the sky. As it rose, the tall pine trees were dark shadows silhouetted against the moon, and the moonbeams shimmered in the nverethe most beautiful sight of all! Frederick Lumbard 8B-105 ection. The cast consisted of only two characters. One, The Portrait of a Colonial Girl of 1750 and the other The Portrait of a Modern Girl of 1935. The Colonial girl was portrayed by Mary Francis McCune and the Modern Girl was played by Pat Dag- gett. The setting was an old fashioned reception room and the time was sup posed to be midnight. A startling contrast, was provided when Mary Francis did a few steps of a minuet and Pat did a few steps from our very modern Continental. w... March 13 Despite the fact that it was control day, the South Pasadena Junior High rang with noise when the yell leaders from the High School led the assem- bly in cheers and songs.

April 11, 1935 LA TORRE Page 11 Continued from Page 1 John Anderson + sometimes thought the laws were un- just and pictured the state in which there were none to hamper my free- dom. Now I realize that there would be no freedom for anyone outside the law. The good citizen is willing to serve his government in any civic capacity at any time. He will serve as a juror, witness, or win any other way his ser- vices are needed. He is always at the service of his country. The financial support of his govern- ment is never evaded by the good citizen. He willingly declares his tax- able property and income and cheer- fully assumes his share of the bur- den, realizing that the government which protects him can be maintained only by the support of its people. The development of his country and his community is of vital interest to the true citizen. He seeks to forward the development of industry and of the public health. He supports free public education, realizing that demo- cracy can survive only through an educated citizenry. He takes pride in the appearance of his community and supports the laws which seek to main- tain it. ' In every community there are or- ganizations which seek to uphold the highest social and moral standards for the people. There are the Red Cross, the Community Chest, the American Legion, the churches, and the civic-minded clubs. The true citi- zen will ally himself with these where possible and give them his support always. Finally there is the great obligation and privilege of the real citizen to defend his country in its time of need. This need may arise from the dis- loyal citizen, the radical who would undermine our traditional principles of democracy and impose upon us a form of government contrary to American ideals. It may come from an enemy beyond our borders. Against these the loyal citizen takes up arms. He answers the call to the colors, or he springs to the defense of the American Constitution. Thus we have pictured the true American. It is citizenship such as his that makes America great, ' Don't Miss Them LIBRARY CHATS + , Have you noticed the rearrange- ment or books in the library?

In the Kitchen of the King t How La Torre Comes To Life Perhaps you wonder just what hap- pens to La Torre after the Journalism class has completed writing and edit- ing the various articles and features. The hand written material 'is sent to the typing department, where the pupils make a. typewritten copy of each article. Then the ccpies are sent back to the Journalism class to be copy-read, which means the typed copy is compared with the written copy for typographical errors. After the material is copy-read the articles are measured and scheduled. They are then sent to the linotype operator where the type is cast on a. linotype machine. The pictures go to an en- graver, who engraves them on separ- ate pieces of metal, During this time Mr. Shires and his business gtaE are busy getting adver- tisements to help finance the cost of the paper. After the copy comes back from the linotype operator it is check- ed for mistakes: This checking is call- ed proof-reading. When this has been done, the type is sent to the print shop where the mechanical staff, un- der the direction of Mr. Vanderlip, sets the paper up in pages according to the dummy made by the make-up editor. It is then sent back to the editorial staff to be page-proofed, which means to see that the pages are set up correctly. It then goes back to the printing staff, where the type is locked up in a chase, put on the press, and printed. The copies are then folded and sent to the various English teachers to distribute in their classes, -Barbara Woods ONEONTA SHOE SHOP QUALITY AT MODERATE PRICES 1907 Fremont Avenue South Pasadena J x Donit Be Late, Remember 7:30 pm.

And of its shining dust they built The castle of their dreams.

Beatrice Pearson QB MEMORIES meh How well I do remember: The rustle of leaves, the fresh cool breeze, The wonderful fragrance of the trees With the ray of the moon beating brightly above As the lake hummed its rippling song of love. We used to climb the green, green hills, And gather up loads of daffodils; But now no one is ever seen, The hills are brown, instead of green. The trees are all dying for lack of good care, And although the shimmering hike is still there, The green is gone: leaves, grass, they are dead, And the poor barren vaies rm: the color of lead; How well I do remember! Put there's nothing new to see; That color, that song, their beauty all gone, Is now but a memory. Ruth Haskell wzlA Adventure Ballad 4A..

While Mother groaned in anguish In her old-fashioned way Arabella smirked and languished In the latest modern waye But gradually the whole changed, 7 And now I'm glad to say That sis has cast aside those stunts, Seen the error of her way.

If he got thrown he wouldnlt get sore, Held pick himself up and come back for more. Years passed and Bill reached the top, But a little while later he hit the drap.

PIRATES WARNING --.: The night was dark stormy When the pirates anchored there, And the lookout hashed his message From on top the hidden lair: ttThe coast-guard is coming, Beware, Beware, Beware! Then out they sailed again. They saw soon through the gloom The trim white little cutter- They knew it was their doom! They put on every stitch of sail, But tlwas not enough to gloat, For the trim white little cutter Could beat any ship afloat. And When at last at morning, The coast-guard boarded her, The pirates all surrendered, For they couldnlt capture her. And when they got to port again The pirates all were hung. may 9, 1935 Peach Blossoms + Peach Blossoms, Peach Blossoms, where are you now?

I have often thought of the earth as a huge ball, A ball that has been in use f0r many. many years, The deep valleys and gorges I have thought of as ruts and holes, And the mountains that rise above us all as small Ridges and bumps that have collected on this ball. I have thought of the fast flowing rivers as small Trickling drops of water than run among the ridges and gorges, And the earthquakes which so many of us are afraid of As a bouncing ball which has struck a bump. I also think of the people. not as they are, but as Small insects trying to struggle to get ahead of One another, some failing, SOWIC succeeding. I have often thought of. the earth as a huge ball.

Then in Winter when it snows, And the trees are bare, The birds do wonder, when again The sun will be aglare. And like magic, in the Spring, When every thing's in bloom, All the birds begin to sing, And drive away all gloom.

The world goes round, but oh, how slow, Your muddled brain is full of woe; Long division just wontt gee Spring fever's got you, head to toe. David HeroneQA nw. N OBOD YS FOOL + Timothy Brown was an ordinary chap, He didn't like this and he didn't like that, There were only threethings that He really did like, Swimming and Iishing and Sometimes a hike. Tommy woke up On a bright Monday morn Feeling quite sad and very forlorn, There wasn't one thing that poor Tom could do Unless it was hiking, and that wasn't new. So he lay in his bed just figuring it out, Till his mother came up and tumbled him out, She said, Tommy. you wake up, you poor little fool. Don ; you realize that you have to go to school? But Tommy was nat such a little fool, He wasntt going to go to school, So he reached for his shotgun and raced out the door. And into the forest he ran with a roar. But just as the hunting began to get good, A man with a star stopped Tom in the wood, He grabbed little Tommy, nobodyts fool, And that is why Tommy is now back in school. Bill PauleSA THE WHALE Ah The whale it dwells in the sea, it does, Tie a mammal of very gleat size. It can stay under water for more than an hour, And when it wants air it can rise. It is then that a. sailor, most likely a Whaler, Catches sight of the black shaped thing, Gets into a boat and sets it afloat, And sends the harpoon on Wing. The harpoon goes splash, hits the whale in a clash, The whale collapses and dies, He is towed to the Ship, and cut strip by strip, And his bones do the ground fertilize.

My mind is full of other climes; I guess Itll go to bed. Glen LathrOprA m5 HEPZIBAH + My sweetheart was the sweetest prettiest gal That ever on earth was seen Her nose 3. red cherry, hei cheek like a plum And her eyes an alluring green. She's the prettiest gal that ever was born, Said my blind uncle one day And her hair was the color of seaweed With streaks of white and gray. Her figure was like that of a sack of meal That had been punched and thrown this way and that She weighed a slight four hundred pounds So you couldn't call her fat. She had a noble character And her soul was so pure and white That on Sunday nights from eleven to twelve She would rarely get into a light. A sweet and Winsome maiden Was that darling of mine And though you would never guess it She was four score years and nine. Julita Schoensiegel hphw WOMEN'S FAULTS Ladies are the queerest things, They always worry about spring: It's either this hat doesn't dip quite right Or I think this dress fits too tight; For new things they always tease But nothing ever seems to please. Kathryn Larkinewx may 9, 1935 the bell in the tower The Sea Ships + Ships have always a. spell for me, The smell of the strong and myster- ious sea, or pirates that looted and ravished the main, And sailed back to their stronghold again. Of octopi that swim in the deep, Faster than a tigeris leap. W herever I go and whatever I see, Ships Will have always a spell for me. John S. Reed ---7A $.w The Sea There are tiny waves that Splash and play Upon the sandy shore. There are huge gigantic breakers That forever dash and roar. But each in its own and Winning way, Lures you to the ocean's door. The tiny ocean gardens That nestle in the rocks and sand, With their plants and shells and fishes Of colors strange and grand, Are hints of hidden beauties Unknown to those on land.

Harriet McCall-eQB -Mh6q- The Set; +.- I like the roaring 0f the waves, The sea, gulls fiy'ing high and Wide; I like the whiE of salty breeze That comes at turning of the tide. I like the feel of warm wet sand, With the glow of the hot sun's rays, I like to watch the ships at sea. Sail the depths of blue away. Betsy Longe-7A The Ships First J ourney The ship was trim and tidy, When they launched her in the bay, When she started on her journey Over the Cathay. The sea began to roughen, The wind began to blow, The captain gave the order For all to stay below. For weeks the gale was raging. The waves rolled over the ship, The saliors feared the vessel Would never make the trip. But at last the Wind abated, And the sea was calm once more, And glad indeed were the sailors When they sighted the welcome shore. Pick Hucks--7A --.E THE OCEAN hF I can see the little waves playing upon the beach And seagulls circling above the sea, And hear the roaring of breakers, sea And her the roaring of breaker. pounding upon the surf, The ocean is forever alluring to me. At night it is dark and cold and lonely, And overwhelming, those fathoms oi black foaming sea. The moaning of the wind is added to the constant roar of the waves Yet. that is the place for me. The sunset and sunrise are so wonder- ful And the invigorating tang of the alt That it is worth, oh many and many, Of the lonely nights spent there. Day after day, the waves wash back and forth, And the stony cliffs look down impas- sively. Ships sail by, the world passes on, Yet incessantly continues the roar of the sea. Julita Schoensiegel . . Sunset On The Sea + The sun is sinking in the West And the blue of the sea turns gold A ship with its sails shot with fire Glides slowly past and sinks to sleep. My soul fills with rapture To' see the sun build a gold highway Across the sea into my heart. STORM AT SEA b... Th bellowing sails 0n the ship stand out With the force of a coming storm, The sailors are all in fear and doubt For the ship is old and worn. The horizon is dark, the waves pound high, The ships timbers creek and groan; With a. rear and a. blast, the storm goes past, And the ship sails safely home. Kathleen CobbeQA hhhkg The Sea H... The sea is full of wonder! Oh! The mystery of its fascinating depths! There, in murky gloom where 110 Light dares penetrate, Lay phantom ships, Decomposing to become part Of the vast unknown region! But think not this is all musty silence! Fishes, their fins like spectral sails, Play in the echoing stillness; Fishes unknown to the upper earth Swim lazily in the blackest blackness, Undisturhed by the worldis environ- ment.

Our ninth grade boys have been doing outstanding work in woodshop under the direction of Mr. Jacobs. The boys have been working on projects such as making diSplay brackets, volw leyball standards, stage furniture. hling cabinet, tables, drop-leaf shelves, courtesy bench; gavel, book- case and magazine rack, a court bench, nine pieces of furniture for the girls, club room and puppet stage. Also the list includes 102 separate items of which thirty-iive are entirely new pieces of furniture valued at about $90.00. In the construction class are Jack Bosher, Bob Stampley, Eugene John-- son, Joe Moore, Bill Mason. Weston Noble; Robson Eberle, Harry Cocks. Pete Guillen; Dewitt Murphy, and Dudley Jarrett, boys from the 9th grade class who are doing special work in the woodshOp because they are interested in the work and in the improvement of the school.

There they were cour- teously received by Mr. Hertzog, who, acting as guide conducted the mem- bers on a tour of inspection around the buildings. The club members were shown the process of repairing old books that had been roughly treated and were in poor condition. The book covers are removed and the books are in- spected. The sides and threads from old binding are cut off and glue is added to the edge. The new and Spec- ially designed cover is used to re- place the former old one. Gold leaf and other different types of paint are used to print the name of the book and the author on the new cover. After this remarkable re juvenation the once old and dilapid- ated book becomes clean and shining. June 13, 1935 9A Class Here Only 472 Years; 11.1 When a pupil is graduated from junior high it is taken for granted and seems only natural to think that he he attended school here for 3 years. But on the contrary, only 116 of the grads have spent 3 years here and 48 have been here for 1 year. Twenty two people have studied at junior high for 2 years, 7 people have been here for 1Q year, 6 people have been here for 11p; years, 5 have been here 21,2; years and 2 have been here for 31.4; years.

Oh, well such is the day grades condes out. Mrs. Sturtevant's dramatic club went to the Pasadena Community Playhouse Friday, May 10. They saw the dramatic comedy, ttThe Wedding, with Anita Blair. It was a very enjoy- able evening and every one had a good time. The graduation class is the largest our school has ever had and believe your old Peekhoie we sure are going to miss them. We'll miss Dick De.- Goliais leadership and Alice Connor's dancing for assemblies, but maybe we have some 9Bis who can fill their shoes, we hope! The class picture for '35 turned out very well for such a large class, Bill Satterlee certainly made himself cons spieuous by putting his head down but otherwise you could tell who everyone was. The peOple in the cen- ter section were scared stiff. They would look as though they were ery- ing because the patio fountain was going and the camera was in back of it. It proved to turn out 'all right though. Everyone certainly missed Pat Ved- der while she was ill. Scarlet feyer is pretty bad for anoyne to have and it was generally known Pat had it pretty badly. We certainly hope she recover- ed without any ill after effects. One of the highlights of the asseme bly May 22 was when Jimmy Smith tcandidate for presidenti 10st com- plete control of his voice. So it hap- pens the poor boy's voice is changing and when he started to make his acceptance speech the voice cracked and the assembly fairly roared. The acceptance speeches were all very good but everyone noticed the absence of Frank Wright, the can- didate for vice president. Frank was ill and the group that nominated him, along with everyone else, missed him. The t'Show BoatH was quite a pro- duction, starving Alva Adams, Boothe Bohannon, Morris Porter, Frances Cr: and several others besides the whole glee club. It was a beautiful produc- tion and everyone enjoyed it.

This baseball season produced pre- season expectations on the part of the coaches. Due to the addition of two new members on our coaching staff we were benefited by smoothly run games.

Good work, boys! H-Aw Captains hp In baseball, the last sport of the present school year, the after-school teams got off to a fine start. All the teams had at least eight players on the field. Besides having a. good turnout the election of captains proved to be very interesting. with one of the best crops of leaders in the history of afterschool athletics. The following boys were elected: Class A Bears, Lawrence Broering; Eagles, Diek DeGolia; Indians, Lloyd Van De Venter; and Lions, Bobby Finch. Class B Bears, Clarence Parmenter; Eagles. Walter Wenzel: Indians, John Doiien: and Lions, Irving Searl. Class C Richard Josselyn; Pears. Eagles, Tomu Yusa: Indians, Harry Oka' and Lions. Ted Young. We have had lots of fun and action from these boys and their teammates, not only high scores, but 9 ijoyment also. LA TOR 1E SPORTSHOTS EH In winning the pentathlon for his C division, Howard Cheverton estab- lished some sort of new record by winning every event. This, at least in the knowledge of this writer, has never been done before. Our newly organized hardball base- ball team under the direction of Major M.O.C. Hull was very successful for the short time it was organized. The team is composed of pitchers, Broer- ing, Whitney, Satterlee, and Kendall; catchers, Compton, Muraki, Nuss, and Darrah; first base, W. Noble, O'Con- ner, Larson, and Mansfield; second base, McGowan, and Meridith; third base, Maxwell, and Kistncr; shortstop, J. Greedy, F. Wright, DeGolia, Ham- men, Finch, Martin, McCall, and Schirm. With the training the boys get here at junior high they should go a long way the next three years at senior high. The boys' tennis tournament didn,t have such a large entry list as before, especially in the doubles, but that didn't step it from being one of the hardest fought in the history of the school. , Our after school baseball teams turned in very good games. The boys displayed a fine spirit of sportsmanship and fair play sel'!om seen on our field. In the girls track meet many prom- ising stars were uncovered. Janice Weiss has the making of a future track star, and maybe an Olympic champion. Connie Mosher in the class B looms as a threat to the records held by former stars at our school. These boys and girls are considered the best graduating athletes: Hans Gaspar- track, baseball, and football.

Pentathlon -. h The Pentathlon, a yearly feature of the Boys' Sports department ended a very fine season of accomplishment in track, The winners of this part of the athletic program have proven them- selves worthy of the honors that go to the winners. In class A, Hans Gaspar was pro- claimed winner, by winning three 0; the five events, and placing high in the other two. Ed Halminski placed second by not winning any event, but by placing second in every event. Bill Satterlee placed third, with Jack Ste- ver fourth, and Lawrence Broering and Joe Iler. tying for fifth, but on the tosg of the coin Lawrence won. In class B, the turnout was very poor, but the four that were out staged a Battle Royal. Irvine Sear- le emerged the winner with Robert Hardball + Well, It seems the school board sub- mitted to the boys' pleading for hard ball. A certain Major Hull who has had a great deal to do with baseball and its players has given his after- noons recently to the coaching of the fellows who are interested in hardball. He is rewarded almost more than he Wishes, for every afternoon there is a surplus of fellows who go away and wait for the next afternoon. DeMills, Walter Wenzel, and Harry Oka finishing in that order. Howard Cheverton did the impos- sible by winning every event to annex the blue ribbon for class C. George Sato placed second, with Koho Ozone, Robert Cockle, and Russell Burkett finishing in that order. Hans Gaspar will by virtue of his victory in class A have his name engraved on the Pentathlon Cup.

The hot weather was perhaps responsible for the sensational per- formances. In the class standings, the 0A triumphed-in class A, the 7B in class B, and the 8A in class C. In- dividual high scoring honors were closely divided in class A, with Eliza abeth MacLennan scoring 11 digits, Lois Wohlwend tallying 101,4; points, and Janice Weiss garnering 10 points. In the B division, Connie Mosher, Pat Lillie, and Rosemary Neiswender placed in the order named. Carol Henry was high point man for the H , O tracksters. with Margaret Cook and fiBiddie Pfeiffer tied for second place 116110115, and Phyllis Mason third. A huomerous Ml highlight of the meet wes the baseball lthrow. where pre- vious records were shattered by all entrants. The competitors didnlt have very long to feel proud of themselves, ' however, for it was soon discovered that the measurements were wrong. and the records were in no- danger of being broken. Another highlight was the 75 yard dash for As where the flying feet of Janice Weiss carried her to a new class A record in the fast time of 8.8 seconds. Margaret Cook little 8A Speedster, traveled 50 yards in 6.8 seconds, to tie the exist 111:: record for class C. The B and C discus throwers, eligible for the plat- ter-tossing event for the first time, set up marks at which future ath- letes will shoot. with the B record going to Pat Lillie at 62 feet 1!; in- ches. and Carol Henry, C star, getting off a. toss 0f 55 feet 5 inches. A new A record for the running broad jump was almost reached by Arlee Jean Reynolds, when she leaped 13 feet 9 inches on her final try, surpassingr all previous attempts. Unfortunately, she tlcrowhopped on the jump, and it was ruled 'out first place and the new rec- ord going to Janice Weiss, 9A, star. at 13 feet 1 inch. The relay, which closed the meet, was won easily by the fast 9A team, with the 8A four second and the 8B's third. The summary: 50 yd. dash: first.

Girls, Sport Stars h.n Shirley Peterson thetey certainly deserves all the high honors she has won while at dear old S.P.J.H.S. In addition to being elected president of Las Amigas, she nearly won the distinction of being the first girl student body president of our school being defeated by only a small margin. As an athlete, she is outstanding. starring in practically every sport. As president of Las Amie gas, she has shown herself to be one of the finest leaders in our school. Lois W'ohlwend Lois will certainly be missed by her many friends when she leaves our school. While she attended junior high she has proved to be a leader in and out of school and especially in ath- letics. She has been elected to GM-l for three successive terms. As this year's hiking manager she has been faithful and hard-working and we are all sorry to see her go. Caroline Pfeiffer In the three years ltCarrie has been 'in our school she has made many true friends. Nearly every varsity ath- letic team of the past three years has held her name. As an all-round ath- lete, her record is practically unequal- led. During the three years she has been in junior high she has built up a reputation for outstanding leadership and friendliness throughout the school. GM-l .has claimed her for the past two years, this year as a capable and dependable swimming manager. Phyllis Summers Phyllis's tennis tracket has brought her fame and glory during her three years in our school. She is a real star on the courts and has served faith- fully as this years tennis manager, as shown by the capable way in which she directed the girls' tennis Sil gles and doubles tournaments. Mary Moshe:- Tumbling has been handled very well this year due to the excellent management by Mary. She has been an active member of GM-l for two years, and her skill in sports as well as her personality have combined to make her one of the most 'popular members of this year's graduating class. Jill Coffman There isn't as much to say about Jill as the other managers because of the short time she has been in our school. When she entered junior high in the QB, she was elected to GM-l as a representative of the new San Marino girls. She has worked hard during her stay with us, serving as the banker of her homeroom.
