The big night for Sleeping Beauty! Clad in Grecian costumes, the Glee Clubs pass slowly down the two center aisles, each face illuminated by a single candle, Gradually they form in front, and on either side of the stage. 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. BUSH Superintendent

Charlie Paddock, weh known track star in the past decade, bays uHe runs -any distance from 50 yards to 5 miles exceedingly well. Reland has tried every imaginable yardage against the stop watch with excellent results for a 16 year old boy, He stands 5 fiaet 3 ihches and weighs 110 pounds. Suenaga, besides displaying ability as a ru'nner, has done well in the high, and broad jump. He hopes to make good in the high school competition and perhaps also in college. He intends to enter California In- stitute of Technology to study mech- anical engineering. His 'spOrts ambi- tion may be- realized as not many good athletes enter Caltech. His hobby is mechanical work of all'kinds and he seems to have a re- markable ability along these lines. To Suenaga, Franklin D. Roosevelt is the greatest living American. -w$. h-.. A-.

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.
