Only a few of the high schools of Los Angeles have yet attempted this achievement. Miss Burnham planned and edited the first number in the hope that those who were enthusiastic: about the study and writing of poetry would continue its publication next year. After the first issue, it is her aim to organize a club composed of contributors.

The idea is carried throughout the book by the use of silhouettes, period costumes, and Old Eng- lish lettering. The theme was suggested by Miss Burnham, the Torch adviser, to whom the book is dedicated. The end paper was done by Millicent Morris and Manford Kirby. They have shown here the life of the seventeenth century. The title page was drawn by Manabu Onada. He has used the symbol of the school, the torch, for his work. The foreword was designed by Leta West. She worked out her subject very cleverly by using old-fashioned figures opening a book. Ethel Slye created the faculty division page. There are some very humorous points in her drawing, if one studies it a little. Finis was worked out by Mildred Austin. The entire drawing and the senti- mental verse is done in crosses to represent an old-fashioned sampler. Josephine See drew Ex Libris. She used: the silhouette of a boy reading to carry out her theme. A youth falling from an old-fashioned bicycle was suggested by Veronica McNeil for the humor page, and Harold Stevenson drew it. Alma Mater pictures the little red school house, and was drawn by Millicent Morris. Millicent also did the Senior Garden of Memory, which is one of the most original pages in the book. The running head and activities division sheet were designed by Pal Marie Henry. She has given each some very dainty touches and the feeling of old-fashioned times. Advertising was executed by Ethel Slye. She has shown here an old tavern and a crier. Beulah Cooper designed the contents. She has used a gate, surrounded by tall hollyhocks and a bird house, in her drawing. Athletics was originated and fashioned by Veronica McNeil and Ethel Slye. They used the idea of a. Croquet game in their drawing, which some may consider has a satirical twist. I52l

They have done many things of interest in the year 1929-30. The first big event in the fall was the aud call in the form of an old-fashioned vaudeville, featuring pirates. The girls made more on this aud call than had ever before been made in Torrance High. The G. A. A. sponsored a Christmas dance, which established a precedent. The gym was decorated in the Christmas spiritg the crowd was large. They have attended two play days this year, one at Gardena and the other at Narbonne. Even though they didn't win so much, they had a wonderful time at both and made new friends, which is no small satisfaction. To make the year a complete one, after having inter-class games in all the sports, and their other social affairs, they are having a banquet in June. This will be an annual affair hereafter. Torrance High should be proud of the splendid interest and spirit shown by these co-eds. fi-.+i.,1. JUNIOR HIGH BOOK CLUB Very interesting monthly meetings are held by the Book Club, at which theV either listen to stories read by lNIiss Mills or hold a party. Eligibility to the club is not difficult, as it merely necessitates the reading of a book every month, which alone is a satisfaction. rin
