To me now, the lark is voicing, Thot’s that lie within my breast. I may join in his rejoicing, For I now, am truly blessed. To me now, in all their splendor, Fragrant blossoms of the spring; Bring me thot’s, so sweet and tender Ass to cause my heart to sing. To me now, the soft, sweet sighing, Of the fragrant scented breeze Is but Nature’s voice replying, “Let me put your heart at ease.” To me now, this world is fairer, I know despair is not my role. Hope has come to show my error, Peace resides within my soul. To me now, the thought of living, Fills my heart with ecstasy. To me now, Life means the giving, Of my heart and soul to Thee. ANONYMOUS. PAGH SEVEN CLASS PROPHECY S I was lying in the hammock dreaming of my high schooi days a vision of the little mountain town of Banning in al- mond time passed across my vision and of a sudden a great desire to visit the dear old place possessed me. Try as I might, I could not banish the feeling. I hurriedly packed my suit-case, bade farewell to my friends and started eagerly on the journey. The miles flew swiftly hy and at last I reached the city of San Francisco where I intended to stay over night. It was Sunday evening, so I went to one of the largest churches where there was to be a special musical num- ber for the evening. Much to my surprise I found out that the much loved singer was Ethel White, and I watched eagerly for her appearance. When she finally made her appearance J n� v- ticed, with some surprise, that the tall young man by her ‘side was none other than Jay Hargrave. I later found out that Jay had become a very prosperous civil engineer of this city. It is needless to say that I enjoyed immensely the first evening of my journey, and I ‘started out next morning in high spirits. The first part of the journey I amused myself by studying the faces of my fellow-travelers, but soon I tired of this and turn- ed my attention to the country we were passing through. Ata small country station a gentleman boarded the train and instantly I_ recognized Jay Nichols. He was somewhat changed, but his dark mustache added a rather pleasing effect. We were soon talking over old times and he told me of himself. After he let High he went to college where he studied civil engineering and was now becoming very prosperous but he, like myself, missed his old friend's and desired to see them again. You can readily imag- ine that I was glad to have his company for the rest of the jour- ney. We were to change trains at Colton, but instead we de- cided to take the stage for the rest of the journey. It was noo, so we went into a large, up-to-date hotel to get some dinner. The proprietor of this hotel was our old friend and _ schoolmate, Marion Butler, and after greetings were over, he called his wife out to meet us. Five years had not caused much change in the handsome young wife, formerly Marian Urton, who came to meet us. Upon asking concerning Lucile, we learned that after two years’ teaching she had married and was now living happily on a large apple ranch near Banning, PAG De Dl Gree The time passed all too quickly, and after bidding farewell to our friends, we resumed our journey. We were familiar with the country through which we were passing, but great was ovr surprise when we came upon a flourishing town where the small town of Banning formerly was. The first thing tw attract our at- tention was a large grocery and dry goods store. By inquiry we learned that the owner of the store was Mr. Harry Hunt. He and his wife, “nee Marian Gilman,” were out of town on a busi- ness trip. Just as we were deciding what to do, a young man greeted us with a smile that could not be mistaken. He was none other than Leonard Backus. Accepting his cordial invita- tion we spent the day on his ranch, of which he was justly proua. From him we learned of the fates of the rest of the class. Marian Moojen had completed her course at Normal and was teaching ia a school in Los Angeles. She often came to visit in Banning and we were pleased to learn that she would be up on the following Sunday. The same evening was pleasantly spent at the neighboring farm of Harold Ellis and his wife as we talked over old times again. After this week I returned home again happy and contented and ready to resume my work. GLADYS TITCHENER, ’21 SUNSET It was on a January evening that I noticed in particular a sunset that seemed to me to fitly picture the beauty of the close of a winter’s day in Banning. The white peaks rose up framed by the blue sky whose coloring was made the more delicate by bits of fluffy clouds here and there. Over all, the’sun cast a filmy cloud, shading from red glowing tones to a soft pink. Below, the dark blue ‘shadows blended with the dusky green of the trees. The west was a mass of bright ragged clouds, touched with splashes of brilliant reds, yellows, and violets. Everywhere I looked I saw some little picture. The almond trees with their popcorn blossom's basked in the reflected glow; the pepper trees, sharply outlined against the sunset, waved gently in the soft breeze. When the sun had gone from the valley it still lingered on the peaks, until the gathering darkness obscured it entirely. PAGE NINE @ CLASS HISTORY N the year 1999 as I was looking through some of my old keep- I sakes I happened to pick up a little book entitled “La Re- vista” edited by the Banning Union High School in 1920. 1 was interested at once and looking through the Annual I soon found the history of the class of ’20 and this is what I read, ‘One morning in 1916 thirteen shy little boys thirsting for greater knowledge knocked at the gate of learning and were admitted. These little boys and girls were green as green could be and un- certain what to do but secretly a little proud that they were High school students. They were not left in doubt long for soon they were laboring under the directions of the faculty acquiring their long sought knowledge in leaps and bounds. As the year wore on the class was joined by a new student, but one of their own members, now tired of the search for knowledge, left them. This left the number still a baker’s dozen. With one new member, ’20 started on its Sophomore career with none of the greenness it so plainly showed the year before, This class was proud of being the largest in school and ‘showed its importance by ruling the Freshmen with a strong arm and participating in athletics and interscholastic events. leven jolly students began their Junior year, much interest- ed in athletics and a good time. As proof of this, four of our worthy members: Marian Urton, Marian Gilman, Leonard Backus and Harold Ellis, went to Beaumont and won the tennis pennant for the school. As Juniors this class gave some wonder- ful parties, ending their entertaining by giving a real banquet to the Senior class. So wonderful a time did the Juniors have that year that they were not overly glad when school wars out. Ten all important and dignified Seniors began their last year in High School, very glad that they would soon finish their course, The Senior year of these little Freshmen that entered High School in 1916 was sprinkled with gaiety. Somehow they had changed in the past four years. Their minds now turned to the more serious matters of getting their credits and writing orations for the Forensic contest. As the year advanced they were spurred on by thought of new worlds to conquer and yet thinking back PAGE TEN over their school days they often had regrets over leaving. One fine June evening on the beautiful lawn surrounding the building where they had toiled for the past four years, they received their diplomas and their High School days were over.” Reading this history brought back pleasant memories to me for I was a member of the Class of ’20. My thoughts turned to athletics and I was soon going over our hard fought battles, our victories and defeats. I was carried back to my boyhood days. Who were my classmates? Yes—There were four Marians, Marian Moojen, Marian Urton, Marian Gilman, and Marion But- ler who spelled his name with an 0. Two Jays, Jay Nichols and Jay Hargrave, made six. The others were Ethel White, Lucile Ludwig, Leonard Backus and Harold Ellis. JAY HARGRAVE, ’20. SCHOOL DAYS Me work is all too complicated: Me Latin never is translated; Me verbs are never conjugated: Then me D’s are duplicated. Me mind is never concentrated; At times me feels intoxicated, And all me days are variegated; Since all me friend's have graduated. So me thinks, me quit. Ex.

As they sat in council, concerning the ways of mortals, far-darting Apollo spake out and said, “O father, throned in the highest, if indeed it be pleasing to the blessed gods, let the Juniors of Banning High School find honor in the sight of gods and men, for noble are they among the dwellers of earth.” And Zeus, the cloud-gatherer, answered him, saying, ‘“Where- fore are these deserving of consideration, for verily they have not fleetness of foot nor strength in the god-like discus throw.” “Lo, art thou not aware of one who delighteth all with his song, even Clarence Johnson? Yet always he applieth himself diligently unto his manifold tasks.” “This word thou hast spoken is true if thou meanest as tasks, bothering others until they fain would tear their hair.” So’spake Hephaestus. “Yea, now do I recall one in that class, Clarence Weinland, dear to my heart, who delighteth to play with the sparks of my wrath,” thus thundered Zeus within the hall. Then winged words spake the ox-eyed queen, “Favored in my sight are the bright-eyed Gladys and laughter-loving Char- lotte, like unto goddesses are they in fairness.” But Ares angrily made harangue, saying, ‘“Detestable in my sight are the wasters of time, and such is Delbert, devise of mis- chief, for he truly trieth the patience of all, notwithstanding his god-like tresses and ready wit. Then was there laughter un- quenchable in the assembly as remembrance was brought to them how one, loved of Ares, Edgar of the many counsels who, as he waxed eloquent in the debate was confused by the witti- cisms of Delbert. PAGE TWELVE Then spake Zeus, saying, “Let there not be controversy among immortals. Anon will come saffron-robed dawn and my curiosity will still be unassuaged. Let the goddess grey-eyed Athene stand now forth and declare unto me the nature of others of these Juniors.” Thereat Athene spake winged words, saying, “O father, king of heaven, worthy is the dignified Forrest of haughty mien; dark tressed Edith of the winning smile, but my heart is rent within me, for alack, god-like Louis hath not might with his wondrous talent. Lovable in my sight is fair-haired Norma, like in charm unto a gentle nymph. Mortals and gods verily do unite in favor- ing elder men, and lo to be so favored is grave Melvin. And there is goodly Mabel of the beautiful eyes. These, O Zeus, compose this Junior class. Then spake cloud-gathering Zeus unto the assembly, saying, “Truly hast thou said, Apollo of the silver-bow, these are worthy of the esteem of mortals and praise of gods.” LUCILE DURFEE ’22 Some classes were made for great things —Seniors Some classes are made for small —Juniors Some classes it isn’t recorded, why they were tormed at all. —Frosh PAGE THIRTEEN Vy _ SOME FAMOUS SCHOOL SONGS Harry Hunt—“Oh!

It wasn’t anything to brag about either, a car repairer working in the P. E. shop in Los Angeles. PAGE SIXTEEN It seems hard to believe that I was a school teacher before the war. It was my first job, or rather, position, teaching school my first year out of normal. My school was some school: Three Texas farmers boys, the two Walch girls, sweet little things both six feet tall and as ungainly as jumping jacks, and both dunces, about a dozen urchins ranging from ten years down, four little Mexican kids and 2bcut twenty pickaninnies that were worse than dumb. A few days after war had been declared I received a letter from my brother. He wrote me that he was going to enlist im- mediately and asked me if I would like to enlist in the same com- pany. Here was a chance to get away from this backwoods town and get back to civilization again but, I had signed up 9 teach a year. Nevertheless, I started out immediately to hunt up the hayseed farmers that comprised the school board. The first place I came to wa's the Walch farm. There on the front steps was seated “Old Man Walch,” a short, heavy set, bald- headed man, puffing on his corn cob pipe. “Good morning, Mr. Walch,” I said, and put on my most diz- nified air. “How are ye?” he replied, nodding his head towards a chair near him. “Mr. Walch,” I began. ‘You have no doubt kept pretty wel posted on the war news since war was declared?” “Yes,” he drawled out, ‘““What’s that got to do with you?” “Well, you see, Mr. Walch, my brother is going to enlist in the army and I was thinking————”’ “That you want to quit your job teaching school,” he broke in, “Well, I can’t say as how you’re much of a teacher anyway. i think my oldest daughter can learn those ‘younguns’ about as much as you can at that. So you can just pack up your grip ana beat it any old time you want to. You're fired. Get me?” “Did I get him? Did I? My dignity had beea insulted. I feli like choking the old fellow, but as he was also justice of peace, constable and so forth, I deemed it wiser to swallow my insu!t and quit. Quit, yes sir, quit. I wouldn’t be fired, not by a jugful PAGE SEVENTEEN That afternoon found me on my way to Victoria where I ar- rived about dark. It was too late to telegraph to my brother, so I went to a hotel and went to bed. Bright and early the next morning while going to the telegraph office I met farmer Walch’s oldest boy. “Good morning, teacher,” he said, as he grinned at me. “What in the deuce are you doing here?” I almost roared at him. “I’m going down to Fort Worth to enlist in the army,” he replied. “What, you, you litthe runt! why they want men in the army, not babies, men with brains and common sense, able to do a man’s work.” “Well, I'll tell ’em you’re coming,” he said as he walked away. I went on to the telegraph office where I sent a message to my brother to meet me at the Palace Hotel in Fert Worth. Three days later found us both in Fort Worth and en route to the re- cruiting office. A neat, well mannered officer met us at the door with a “hello boys, come right in and sit down.” In a few minutes we were attentively listening as he explained aLout the different branches of the army and how easy an educated man could climp and all that line of bunk. “My brother and I want to enlist but we both want to enlisz in the same company,” I informed this smiling officer. “Certainly, certainly, I’ll fix your papers right up, meanwhile step into that side room and have the doctor examine you.” Believe me that doctor certainly examined me, he tested my heart and lungs, he punched me in the ribs, he made me hop on one foot until I thought my leg would crack, he pulled my arms, he twisted my neck and as a fitting climax he stuck his thumb in my eye and said, “Read those letters.” “Ouch,” 1 gasped. “Fine ” he said, “‘you’ll pass.” I stepped out into the main room aagin and signed the papers the recruiting officer had prepared for me. “You said you were a mathematics teacher, did you not?” asked the officer. “Yes.” I answered. PAGE EIGHTEEN “Well then, I’ll put you in the Coast artillery,” he said. “But, my dear sir,” I protested, “My brother and I wish to be in a machine gun company.” “Well, you’re transferred,” was his gruff reply. “There is a bunch of recruits leaving tonight for Fort McArthur, you will go with them.” “Corporal,” he said, turning to a soldier near by, “take this recruit to the Q. M., get him fitted out with a uniform, then turn him over to Lt. Brown in charge of the recruits. The next day found me on a train with a group of other re- eruits en route for Fort McArthur, California. We all had illt- fitting uniforms, but mine seemed to be the worst one of the en- tire lot. Four days later we arrived at Fort McArthur and then my troubles began; I went through the tortures of arill movements, I did right shoulder arms until my shoulders were black and blue, I was “bawled out’ for not saluting several times. But at last I graduated from the awkward squad. I was then put in a regular company, given foot locker, reissued a decent looking uni- form and commenced to be a “regular soldier.” I now belonged to the Second Company C. A. C, and spent most of my time drill- ing, doing “K. P.” guard duty, play ing blackjack and shooting craps. One morning at reveille the captain informed us that a new batallion was to be formed for immediate service in France. Gum- ners, truck drivers, and motorcycle riders were wanted. My heart jumped at the last, as I had been a motorcycle enthusiast all of my life at home. I applied for a transfer and the next day my name was among the men who had been transferred to Battery D. Believe me, I was a happy soldier as I carried my equipment, bunk and loeker over to our new barracks. After straighteniny up my stuff I was enjoying a peaceful rest on my bunk when « little “sawed off’? corporal stuck his head in the door yelling, “Wverybody outside to police up around quarters.” At the sound of his voice I sat straight up on my bunk and saw Farmer Walch’s boy, or rather I should say “Corporal Walch.” PAGE NINETEEN “Why! good morning, teacher dear,” he said in the most sar- castic voice I ever heard. “Come right along and enjoy yourself. Here’s a broom and a shovel and a chance for a man with brains to distinquish himself. Now get busy and don’t let that broom handle get too hot.” My blood just boiled, but I dared not say anything back. Every day “Corporal Walch” was on hand to put in a few re- marks about men with brains. At last our longed for moment of departure arrived and we boarded a train ‘en route tor Camp Merritt. We were here one day and then took the transport for Brest. I was on K. P. the first day and spent the next two on deck feeling rather queer. You're expecting me to say something about our seven months’ sojourn in France, but all I’m going to say is “Sherman was right.” Five days after the armistice we started for the Brest mud hole in our side door Pullmans, loaded down with souvenirs. After slushing around in the mud for a week we boarded the Leviathan which brought us back to “God’s country.” After being run through the “decootieyer” we went on pass to New York. On Boy! New York opened her arms to us and we were “some pun- kins.” A week later we were sent to the Presidio where I received my discharge, In less than no time I was on a train “homeward bound.” Dad was at the station to meet me and I never felt so happy in all my life as when I arrived home and saw my mother. That night I took the machine and drove to a certain little girl’s house out on Pico Heights. I had not heard from her for over two months as we had been moving around so much, so I was anxious to see her. PAGE TWENTY At last I reached her house, rang the door bell and in a very few miutes she opened the door. There she was, even more beat- tiful than when I had seen her last two years before. “Why, Harry, come right in, I’m so glad to see you. Wait here just a second. I want you to meet my husband,” so saying, she turned and ran into the next room. “Her husband!” My scattered thoughts gradually collected themselves and I fled before she returned. Dad got me a job in the P. E. shops, but when we struck 1 lost out. So, I’m looking for another job. PAGE TWENTY-ONE O ; ; @ @ ® KID PARTY In an atmosphere calculated to put them at their ease, the freshies were entertained by the Student Body on the second Fri- day night after school started. The kid costumes furnished a good deal of amusement for the children and also made it easy for every one to enjoy the simple pleasures of all-day suckers and such games as: Red hot handkerchief, Tucker wants a wife, sliding chairs, ring on the string, and Ruth and Jacob. Not the least of the enjoyment of the evening was the spec- tacle furnished by the Seniors in ushering the children into the ranks of the initiated and qualified Banning Union High School ‘students. Like good sports they wore the green letiered baby bibs; right manfully choked down the cornflakes; and even to the best of their ability heeded the advice of their elders for the improvement of their table manners, Popcorn balls, punch and animal cookies fittingly closed the program of an evening, that had in it not only temporary plea's- ure but the promise of many good times to come. OC RAH! RAH! RAH! SOPHIES! Saturday night the spooks were out in force. There were witches and black cats flying all about, and weird looking faces peering through every window. But worst of all were the ghosts, some with but one eye and others with gibbering skulls, who walked slowly about, talking in monosyllables. Two witches (Marie and Elsa) brewed thcir mystic potions in snugly hidden dens. All who desired had their fortunes told and learned of their past, present and future. After the guests had assembled, all unmasked. Under the directorship of Roger Walch, the class president, all games went off in fine shape. On the screen were flashed shadowy pictures that made you feel far away from home and all earthly surroundings. Much fun was created by the boys bobbing for apples to se- cure partners for lunch. We then marched downstairs to find the tables delightfully decorated to suit the spirit of the evening. Pie a la mode, apple cider and candied nuts were daintily served. Under the clever guidance of their class teacher, Miss Hield, the party proved an immense success, and all ventured forth to their homes. 5 Among the guests of the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. Blee of Puente and Miss Edith De Baun of Pasadena. PAGE TWENTY-TWO JAPANESE TEA On the afternoon of January 31, the Freshmen girls and mothers of all the students gathered, in the High School. A delightful hour was spent in the assembly room, beautifully trans- formed into a spring tea room. The Freshmen girls dressed as Japanese, served tea and wafers to all. To complete the pleas- antness of the afternoon they gave a Japanese dance and sang, “J Want to Go to Tokio,” and a Japanese “Love Song.” oo JUNIOR PARTY The assembly beautifully decorated in valentine motives and red lights, which threw a soft glow over all, was the scene of a jolly valentine party. The leap year idea first enjoyed by the boys who expectantly awaited their bids to the party was cffectively carried out through the evening by the Juniors. Perhaps the most fun during the party was created when the girls employed their charms and ‘skill in proposing. The girl receiving the most hearts was awarded a box of chocolates and the unfortunate one with the greatest number of mits a small doll. A dainty lunch was served cafe- teria style from a vine-covered booth. Good nights were said after we danced the “Virginia Reel.” THE SENIOR PARTY The Seniors chose March the nineteenth as the date for their party. St. Patrick ideas and colors were found everywhere. Over head was a canopy of green and white with a big shamrock in the middle. In one corner an ivy-covered well and an old oaken bucket full of punch were found. The main feature of the evening was the track meet. To judge from the enthusiastic yells attending each event, it was even more fun than a real track meet. Later in the evening the crowd was divided into families, each of which had to present a stunt. The Senior stunt was the singing of “Where the River Shannon Flows” by the human scale. After refreshments were served all joined in “Good Night, Ladies,’ and while the room was still echoing with the cheers for the Seniors, departing groups could be heard saying, “The Seniors lived up to their reputation.” PAGE TWENTY-THREE oe SENIOR CLASS ENTERTAINED Mr. and Mrs. Means entertained the Seniors and their class teacher, Miss Yocum, at their home on March the twentieth. ‘To get into the spirit of the evening each was led to kiss the blarney stone. Dainty little score cards were handed to each one to be used in the guessing of Irish games and progressive rook. Later in the evening all were ushered into the dining room, beautifully decorated in Irish motives, where a delicious supper was served. The Seniors pronounced this the most delightful social event in their High School career. ooo The following events could not be written in detail on ac- count of the Annual having to go to press before date: Freshman picnic, April 30.

Frosh and Sophs shalt bow down to the upper classmen and respect, and obey their commands for fear of incurring their everlasting hatred. Thou shalt not take a Senicr’s name in vain. One day shalt thou labor and do thy work and on the other days thou shalt bluff. Honor thy Prof. and thy teachers. Thou shalt not kill time. Thou shalt not commit flirtation, verily it is a Soph’s privi- lege. Thou shalt not steal the bookkeeper’s erasures, nor his pen- cils, nor his ink. Thou shalt not copy false works from thy neighbor’s Latin lessons. Thou shalt not covet a Senior boy’s girl nor a Junior girl’s beau nor anything that is thy upper classmen’s. “POOR HAM” An angry father met his daughter’s young man in the hall, and materially hastened his departure in the usual manner. Then he returned to the room and sat down. “T hope you didn’t hurt Forrest,” she sobbed. “No,” fiercely replied the old man, picking up his foot and nursing it. “No, I didn’t hurt him, but if ever he comes here again with bricks in his coat-tail pocket, I’ll kill him!” And the girl smiled softly through her tears. HOW HE ENJOYED IT “Sir,” said Forrest Hammond with enthusiasm as he seized the lecturer’s hand and shook it warmly, “I certainly enjoyed your lecture last night very much indeed.” “T am glad to hear that,” said the lectur er, “but I didn’t sce you there.” “No,” admitted Hammond, “I wasn’t there.’’ “But,” said the puzzled speaker, “how could you enjoy my lecture if you were not present?” “Oh, I bought tickets for my girl’s parents, and they both went.” PAGE TWENTY-FIVE FARCE: ‘‘WHAT’S NEXT!” OPERETTA, ‘‘WIND-MILLS OF HOLLAND.”’ DRAMATICS WHAT'S NEXT?—DEC. 12, 1919.

Clarence Weinland STUNT NIGHT On March the fifth the classes followed the custom establish- ed last year in presenting stunt night. The rivalry was great and the winning class was to represent the school at Perris, the even- ing of the track meet. The stunts showed originality and clever- ness; but the Seniors, represented by Ethel and Leonard in duets and others in the farce, ‘‘Billy’s Chorus Girl,” were awarded the honor. ©¢¢ FRESHMAN STUNT Four couples from the Freshman class danced the minuet for one number in the program; and as the other stunt the class pre- sented “A Remick Music Shop.” In this Remick Music Shop, Rena White acted as saleslady and Marian Gilman as pianist. Delmar Mahaffey, a Negro bootblack, came in and sang: “I’ve Been Wo’kin on de Railroad.” Hazel Laughlin and E. J. Decker, typical farmer and wife, sang ‘‘Home, Sweet Home.” Elsie Rock, school girl, sang “School Days.” Adam Smith and Grant Wood, newsboys, sang “How Yo Gonna Keep ’Em Down on the Farm, After They’ve Seen Paree?” E. J. Decker, Adam Smith and Rob- ert Mackey, college boys, sang “College Life.” Ernest Hemmer- ling and Binney Morris, school boys, sang “Freckles.” Mildred Dunn and Rena White, society and sales ladies, sang “A Little Birch Canoe and You.” Elsie Houda, old maid, sang ‘Tell Me.” The entire Freshman class sang their class song and left the stage in serpentined form. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN SOPHOMORE STUNT During their allotted time the Sophomores presented three stunts. The first was a fantastic shadow picture, ‘The Ballad of Mary Jane.” The part of Mary Jane, the heroine of this thrilling ro- mance, was taken by Marie Lehman, while the stalwart Benjamin was Robert Bramkamp. The second stunt was a pantomime of Lowell’s “Courtin’.” The all-star cast included Elsa Anshutz as Huldy, and Roger Walch as Zek’l, Huldy’s suitor. “The Tonic,” a selection from “Penrod and Sam,” by Booth Tarkington, in play form, was the last to be presented, as comical as only Penrod can be. ; For these stunts, Elden Brown acted as interlocutor for “The Tonic.” Milton Houda exhibited his skill as ventriloquist and magician. The Sophomore four-piece orchestra assisted between scenes, with several numbers.

Well, Nora is borrowed to do the cooking, and Patty is sent to bed to get rid of her; but she turns up later to her sister’s horror in the character of a waitress, serves the dinner, flirts with the guest of honor and has a good time generally under her sister’s helpless eye. She raises the dickens with everybody and ends by getting engaged to the guest. A riot of swift young American fun per- vaded everywhere by the side-splitting Hyacinth, the ‘culled’ help.

Role of ’22 We are the Sophomores, gay and free, And we are as happy as happy can be; We haven’t a care the whole day through, Why in the world should we ever feel blue? For we know how to bluff our teachers, ‘With a smile up our sleeves, but not on our features. We study a little, but as for the rest When it comes to inventing, we will stand the test. i They say we frolic, and get into scraps, That we’re at the bottom of all school mishaps; Slam books, snatch pencils, grab roses, throw balls, Play with pins, tear up paper, and run in the halls. You'll have to admit we’re cheerful and bright, And we look at the world through a bright, rosy light. Of course we’re not perfect, but we could be worse, If there’s need of school spirit we’re there in full force. Though our number is small, our power is great, And the world will take notice at some future date: Among us are some who will rise to fame? And we all will play bravely our part in Life’s game. There’s Milton for Math, and Stanley for fun, If you hear the word tennis, just watch Tracy run; Dewitt is a sage in knowledge of books, As for Henry, we keep him to show off his looks. When Bub, Bob and Roger their heads put together, It is time to look out for a change in the weather. Although Helen and Winnie are steady and sound, Just watch out for a trick when E. Brown is around. Permellia’s our smallest, but not in brains, thanks, Gordon Young is the latest to join with our ranks; Marie and Lucile and Elsa are one, When they start on a rampage, look out for some fun. PAGE THIRTY Through party or brawl, through storm or shine, Miss Hield is our leader, true-hearted and kind. Was ever a teacher so loving and kind, And so fitted to train the young Sophomore mind? Come on! Three cheers high, clear and loud, Hurrah for the gold and the purple so proud! You cannot find any more care-free, I guess— Than the Sophomore class of the B. U. H. S. ELSA ANSHUTZ ’22 d . KEEPING THE SECRET Charlotte and Marie found themselves seated next to each other at the Senior party and immediately became confidential. “Gladys told me that you told her that secret that I told you not to tell her,” whispered Charlotte. “Oh, isn’t she a mean thing!” gasped Marie, “Why, I told her not to tell you.” @ “Well,” returned Charlotte, “I told her I wouldn’t tell you she told me—so don’t tell her I did.” oo In the physiology class the teacher asked what was the use of the nose? There was no response until Lucille Durfee raised her hand. “It’s to part the hair by,” she said.

Noise from hall. Up rushes Prof, “Boys! Stop this in- fernal racket. You Sophomores are always making a big racket.” He is accosted by Miss Hicks. “Mr. Means,” she cries, “I wish you would have a little talk with Stanley. He has been misbehaving again.” “He has? Well, well, I’ll see him later.” Enter Gladys and proceeds to the phone. Frowning anxious- ly she calls, “76 please—Hello, Mr. Ingelow? May I be excused from my music lesson? Yes, I know this is the ninth time, but it is so important. No, I really couldn’t let you know before, and I won’t let it happen again. Thank you so much. Good bye.” With a flashing smile, she was gone. The bellrings. ‘There’s the bell. Here, you girls go on into class and don’t stand gossiping in the halls.” Telephone rings. “Hello! I say hello!

Listen here— I’ve discovered that—.” “Alright, Milton, I’ll take your word for it. Now vamoose to Spanish. If you’re late again you’re in for exams.” As the door once more bangs he leans back with a weary sigh and closes his eyes. “O heck!” he ejaculates, “These high schools!” ONLY AN ICE BOX “T thought you could keep a secret,” indignantly said Mary L. “Well, I kept it for a week,” answered Elsa A. “Do you think I’m a cold storage plant?” M.

We were scheduled to play our first game at home with Corona, October 25th, 1919. The game started promptly at two-thirty P. M. The score from the first whistle till the last one was in favor of Banning. This game showed a fine spirit of ‘sportsmanship; there was not a cross word spoken (by) either side.

School starting the following week found many of the boys were unable to continue their training because of their weakened condition. The next week the R. C. A.
