Salute to the Flag J pledge allegiaure in my flag and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation, indivisible, with liberty aud justice for all. To Emma B. Hield In appreciation of her ever helpful hand and her staunch loyalty to Banning High School, we dedicate this “La Revista.” What memories around thee cling As to thy praise some song we'd sing! A vision wonderful hast thou giv’n From thy east assembly door: a heav'n Of color on peak and desert hill: A message of might from the mountain still: A spirit of peace from distant sands.

The alti- tude had tempered the tropical heat but the rarified air made it necessary for us to rest frequently. Toward evening a light breeze sprang up from the west, around the summit of Kar Ngai, and whispered beseechingly through the luxurious growth of the forest. Just as the sun was setting—a golden disk shedding a glow on the velveth purple mountains—we reached our des- tination, a hermitage on a narrow shelf in the cliff. The hermit, an old man with long flowing white beard and hair, and a pair of deep-set eyes that smouldered like coals of fire, came out to greet us and bade my companion and me de- posit our packs beside the door and rest. The sun having set, darkness came almost immediately and the stars shone out all at once, as it were. While we partook of the frugal meal set before us by the servant, we told the hermit of how we had heard in many lands of his wisdom and knowledge of all things, and how we had resolved to make this trip to India to see him. “Ah, my children,” he said, “Stay with me this night and I will show you many things.’”’ ‘“‘Sit you here on these tiger- skins and look upon the stars of heaven while I gaze within this crystal globe and tell you of your youth. After a long pause during which silence reigned supreme, he began “T see a large building—TI see not clearly yet— ivy grows over the bricks—upon it is inscribed the legend— Banning Union High School. The day in September is warm and among others I| see fourteen children to whom the place is strange. I hear remarks made by the others of green— Frosh—little shavers—at which the strange ones retort of their superiority. It grows colder and with the coming of the rains I see strange cabalistic signs—I hear hic, haec, hoc and Si Senorita. Peals of merry laughter echo through the halls, but with the coming of the green spring, three of the number depart through the broad portal. Many are the pranks played upon them by the all-knowing Sophs. Again it is September and four others join the ranks of the now omniscient. Loud and many are the groans caused by the circle and the square—while Caesar again con- quers the Gauls and builds his bridge, and Zaragueta and Marianella wander in the classic halls. Despite the joyous parties in the school and wienie bakes in the Cienaga, five of the number seek other scenes leaving ten cheery hearts to complete the Sophomore year. The summer brings three more to be of the select Jun- Page Six @ iors and now the might of their influence is felt in many places. Three others leaving, however, the number is still ten whose names are oft seen in play casts, high offices of the Student Body, the Staff of the La Revista and many other activities. No cloud o’er-shadows this happy class of youths who are the dignified Seniors. One new member comes to the number but two leave in a short time. In the heart of each cone is a longing to be out in the wide, wide world and living life, but this longing is tempered with memories of joyous days and happy companions to be left behind. I see no more—but stay——I see the spacious lawn before the build- ing. It is evening and a cool June breeze blows. Numer- ous colored lights illuminate the scene. The class, nine in num- ber are each presented with a parchment signifying their four years study. | hear farewells that have a sad note to them— all is now dark.”’ In the silence I gazed on the etars—so near were they that I could reach out and touch them—and | lived again in the days when I was one of the good old class of ‘21 back in the Banning Union High School. Clarence Weinland ‘21 @igiee Vy ire Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1921 of the Banning Union High School, City of Banning, County of Riverside, State of California, United States of Amer- ica, | have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to re- ceive from her dying hands the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Departing so suddenly from life and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be at- tended to before the end should come upon her, realizing the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues she did collectively and in- dividually deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. Listen then while I read the document as duly drawn and sworn to: She leaves :— Her scholarly habits to the Sophomores. Her originality and initiative to the Juniors. Her standing in good graces of the faculty to the Fresh- men. Her dignity to the Sophomores inasmuch as the Juniors are too set in their ways to make the best of it. Page Seven To the incoming Freshmen all superfulous knowledge and best wishes for success. Forrest Hammond bequeaths his ability to argue with Prof. to Ernest Hemmerling. Use it wisely, Ernest. Also wills his place as target for all hard jobs. Leaves his Sar- casm to anyone who wants it. Don’t rush! there is plenty to go round. Edith Moojen leaves her vampish ways to Elsa Anshutz. She leaves her dainty graceful form to Winnie. Clarence Weinland leaves his size to Grant Wood. (He needs it so badly.) He leaves his office as Student Body President to Reynold Hemmerling. Charlotte Bostick, her cute walk to Marie Lehman; her art of making candy to Frederic Wing. Delbert Fountain, the freckles on his nose and his out- door complexion to Henry Cary. Get a good freckle - cream this time, Henry! He wills his shiny disposition and top knot to Hazel Delbo. Louis Schlierbach leaves his daredevil driving to Stanley Trombley. If you can’t use it Stanley, give it to Bob. He leaves his rough-neck ways to Adam Smith. Golda Kendall leaves her sweet soprano voice to Mary Maher. If you use it right Mary, Miss McGregor will ap- preciate it very much. Her position as CLASS BEAUTY ? ? to Helen. Clarence Johnson his locks of straw to the Junior don- keys. His season pass to the Burbank to DeWitt. He leaves his uncontrollable temper to Roger Walch. Gladys Titchener wills her ability to educate the infant Freshmen in social graces to Hazel Laughlin. Her dramatic talent to Robert Bramkamp. And we do hereby constitute Mr. Means sole executor of the will written on 2nd. day of May, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one. Signed: Forrest Hammond, President Edith Moojen, Secretary. Golda is an alchemist And so I'll have to drop her, For every time I’m out with her My silver turns to copper.

Weinland Studios Improved Mr. Clarence Weinland, cf the famous Weinland Studics, has just installed here in his studio one of the latest and, most im- proved models of the famous natural color camera. These cameras, altho invented in the last five years, have rapid- ly gained popularity, being found in every large and up-to-date studio on the coast. Mr. Weinland, has on display a picture of his popular young wife, taken with the new cam- era. The public is invited to a free demonstration of this costly machine next week at the Wein- land studios where the super- excellent quality of the photo- graphs may be examined. Popular Movie Star Injured in Los Angeles Forrest Hammond, the popu- Jer young star cf the Universal Company, was painfully injured vesterday when the car in which he was driving collided with a bus of the Los Angeles-Riverside line on the Valley Boulevard. Mr. Hammond was thrown from the car, breaking two ribs and d’slocating his knee. He was rushed to a hospital for Page Nine medical aid. Today he is do- ing fine and is receiving the con- dolences of his cinema friends and an adoring public. His wife, Betty Burton, also with the Uni- versal, is with him.—Los An- geles Times. Mr. Hammond will be remem- bered as a former Banning boy, taking his High School course here. Following his graduation from U. S. C. he felt the lure of the silent drama and entered the employ of the Universal Com- pany where he has been since, rising to the position he now holds because of his remarkable ability for acting. Reunions of Class of ’21 Planned Plans are already in order for a reunion of the Class of ’21 B. U. H. S. to be held in Banniny in June, 1931.

Iu her work she will be closely assuciated with ihe President of tae firm, acting vs his confiden- tial secretary. Miss Moojen is well qualified to fill this posi- {ion, having had valuable exper- ience with the Pacific Electric Company of Los Angeles. About gix months ago she resigned from her office and took a much needed vacation, traveling in Northern California and Wash- ington. Recently she came to Banning and has been with her mother, Mrs. Fairy Moojen.

Miss Golda Kendall, the noted soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, is visiting her paretns, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Kendall of this city. Miss Kendall was formerly a resident of Banning and gradu- ated from B. U. H. S. in 1921. Shortly after her graduation she devoted herself to voice culture in New York and later in Eur- ope. She made her debut in Vienna two seascns ago. Fol- lowing a year of successful EHur- opean engagements, she came to America and made her first pub- lic appearance in New York. It was a decided success and she immediately became promin- ent in operatic circles. Previous to her arrival here Miss Kendall was the guest of Miss Bostick of Rupert, Idaho, acting as bridesmaid at the lat- ter’s wedding. After some time here she will leave for a Cana- dian tour before her season’s en- Ten Dy Ms gagement with the Metropclitan Opera Company begins. Well Known Young Lady Weds The wedding of Miss Charlotte Bostick of Rupert, Idaho ana Mr. R. H. Bond, a prominent young architect of San Francisco, was solemnized at high nocn Sat- urday at Rupert. The mat ron of honor was Mrs. Edward Peterson, the bride’s sis- ter, and the bridesmaids were Miss Josephine Bond, sister of the groom and Miss Golda Ken- dall. The charming bride was be- comingly gowned in white satin embroidered with seed pearls and wore a veil of real lace. She carried a shower bouquet of valley lilies and orchids. After the ceremony the happy couple left for a honey-moon in Hawaii. They will be at home in San Francisco after Setember 1. The affair was the culmina- tion of a romance which began when both the young people at- tended Berkley. Miss Bostick was for a time a resident of Banning and a popu- lar member of the younger set. She has many friends here who wish her happiness. Ella Anshutz ’22 Former Banning Boy Honored Word has been received here that Louis Schlierbach, noted in- terior decorator and designer, has been awarded a medal d’- honneur by the French Society of Beaux Arts.

He aroused the interest of David Hartley, the illustrious designer, who gave his invaluable aid. After several years in Paris he returned to New York where he scon attracted considerable at- tention. He is now recognized as one of the leaders in his pro- fession and occupies an envied position in New York. This city extends to him its heartiest congratulations for the honcr which has been conferred upen him. Listen my children and you shall hear, Of the mid-night ride of Mildred Wingeer. Up to Beaumont thru lovers’ lane, Down to Cabazon and back again. A flash! a crash! a jar! a slam! Look out! look out! for here comes Ham. Oh! those lips! oh! those eyes! Go ask Louie, he'll put you wise. One day I was walking down the street, On turning the corner I saw some large feet. Looking about no one could I see, Then I says to myself why it’s only me. Among the Freshies is Claire Whose nose points up in the air. But I pause here to say, it was started that way To stop it would hardly be fair.

We have some who're pretty bright, Take for instance Rena White; Blanche too is quite keen, And Elsie’s ability is plainly seen. Grant, whom they call Red, Also has a pretty big head; Frederic is so big and stout, He has lots of brains, no doubt. In Geometry Robert a shark might be, It's as easy for him as turning a key; Adam Smith, whom they call Pud, In History is most awfully good. Delmar comes to English with his English down pat, And answers the questions right off the bat; Though Charles in weight is rather licht, Nevertheless he is really bright. Hazel gets out of every Exam, At the head of her class nearly always does stand; Ernest is so bright they say, That he studies only by the light of day. When it comes to baseball Emil’s right there, In fact there’s nothing he will not dare; In order to complete the baker's dozen, Kenneth Young comes to set things buzzin.

And now the Freshies racked their brains, For they all would climb the golden stair, When with gasp of glee she scarce restrains Her plan unfolds the dauntless Claire. “It's Tommy there and Tommy here— And Tommy where's that bloomin’ ball?” “Td be a Tommy Hawk, so dear And help you climb the whitewashed wall.” Page Eighteen “Fine, Tommy fine,”’ that’s all we need.” The class of twenty-four did say; Then seven and seven they agreed To pass along St. Peter's way. First Mildred of the curly locks, That prove the most of Junior's downfall; Squaring the circle on homeward walks With Babe—for reasons mathematical. Then Virgil Lehman took the stand Engaged the saint in artless talk; “‘Ching-a-ling, Chow-chow, Bring her to land.” ‘(Como esta Senor saint—need we knock?” Elaine the loveable—the gay And lovely maid with eyes delectable Frank Urton with his kite at play Seeking to make a trade respectable. Then Jim, the darkey, done by George, Who knows more Spanish than a pirate. Looking to see if he could forge A nine, as round the base they gyrate. But soft, hold hard, look out and wait, Heaven would not be heaven without her, His lady comes, a little late, The other fair Mildred in a flutter. “Caramba!”’ Virgil Fox exclaims ‘| don’t like this, I'll take a sailor.” While Mary Maher her stunt ceclaims, Mary Ellen hies her unto a tailor. The last four that St . Peter saw Were Hazel, Nettie, Dick and Clarence, Who much applause stunt-night did draw, For their neat and trim appearance. This was too much for the dreaming saint, He woke and gravely stroked his beard, “It’s more peaceful in Heaven without the complaint Of those whom their course there too early had steered. Let them stay down on earth in Banning High With Prof. and Miss Yocum to clip their wings, When the twenty-four’s graduate, there would be | It's the best class of all and as merry as kings.” Page Nineteen A Sunset Dream The sun was setting in the west. A rosy light on San Jacinto’s crest Transformed the winter's grey forbidding air To jeweled lights and warmth of summer fair. The knotty pines that lined her ridges To me did seem like fairy bridges That spanned betwixt this world of ours And lovely realms of sunshine and flowers. The soft light slowly faded from the west And darkness shrouded San Jacinto’s crest. It seemed as if I'd looked on a phantom land Created and withdrawn by a magic hand. WR, 22 Balmy Spring has softly stolen upon us. Everywhere the birds are sweetly singing and chirp- ing, in their own simple way, a praise to Spring. Listen to the drumm‘ng woodpecker; the whirring humming bird—jewei of flowers and orange groves —and to the sweet, hesitating, thrilling song of the meadow lark. Never did sweeter sounds ruffle the spring air. Notice the little English sparrows flitting among the trees and the grave, dignified robin hopping in the green grass. The blossom- ing orchards are a vision of exquisite loveliness made still more enchanting by the busy, happy honey-bee. Beyond these fairy gardens stand the rugged mountains whose towering peaks have not yet lost their blanket of snow. The air seems clearer, fresher and more fragrant; human problems less hard. Every one remarks about the beauty Page Twenty 2 of the season and for once the weather is worth talking about. DeWitt Cothran ’22 n Old, Old Story It was in the days of ’49 on the banks of a wide, shallow river of the western plains. A circle of canvas-covered wagons, with a single fire in the center marked the camp of hardy pioneers enroute to the New West. From the distance a weird uncanny moan broke the silence of the night. [hough seldom heard, this cry was known to the travelers. Instantly the men arose and made ready for defense. During the long night the blood curdling shout of the Cherokee Indian was not repeated—but the guards kept faithful watch. In the morning the travelers carefully broke camp and started across the river. As the last wagon was slowly pulled up the opposite bank, there came through the still morning air that self-same piercing yell of the previous midnight. [he drivers turned and looked back, knowing full well what they would see. There, coming over a distant hill on the other side of the river, they saw their foe, decked out in war dress and coming on their ponies in singlefile. In vain the men prodded their oxen. On came the In- ians, swiftly crossing the river and steadily gaining upon them. Flight was impossible. All turned to the leader, Al Smith. As if inspired by the desperation of the case, Mr. Smith re- called that emallpox had been raging among the different tribes, proving fatal to scores of the Red Men. The Indians would undoubtedly flee from the direase in deadly fear! Now in Mr. Smith’s wagon was a sick boy with a rash upon his face that very much resembled emall-pox. He, ac- cordingly, announced his plan to the company and, in spite of their fears, waved a white cloth to the oncoming Indians. The savages recognized the signal. In a few minutes their leader came up, having previcusly laid aside his bow and arrows. By sign language Mr. Smith told the Indian to fol- low him. __ He led him to the wagon, uncovered the sleeping boy's face and cried, ‘‘Small-pox.”’ The Indian knew the meaning of the word and did not lose a second in fleeing from the infected wagon to impart the news to his followers. | Then swiftly he led them back across the river, over a distant hill and into regions unknown to the travelers. Whe (Ge Dw A Winter Day The dark clouds, that had been threatening since morn- ing, at noon broke into a roaring, lashing rain. Cruelly whipped by the wind the few flowers, that had dared show Page Twenty-one their faces in the more sheltered places, bowed in lifeless sub- mission. The trees creaked and sometimes lost branches as the wind pressed upon them in waves of great violence. Hurrying streamlets sought the level of a brook or struggling river. Man and beast sought warmth and shelter—and the rain continued. As evening approached the wind and rain quieted. After the sun had set, the clouds broke. A sunny glow bathed the tallest tree tops and slender church spire. The moun- tains, rosy crowned, stood clear cut against the sky as great sentinels of our valley. The air was cool and pure. One big, crystal star came out in the east and shone like a lamp of home. Marie Lehman 22 If I were a lad of the Senior Class, And you were a Junior peach, We'd build a hut on a South Sea Isle, And walk on the moonlit beach. Were I a Junior boy so bold And a Sophie lass were you, I'd buckle on my trusty sword, And win your heart so true. Rut should I be a Sophomore, ‘snd you a Freshie green, I'd be like a king in my own domain, And you would be my queen. Though I am yet but a Freshie small “And you a Senior duck, There's nought to do but sympathize We both are out of luck! GW A) O, the cares of the Staff are many And their troubles not a few, And ‘tis hard to be bright and cheerful, When there is so much work to do. But now that our labors are ended, And our work is open to view, We bid you look at its virtues, And spare you objections too. G. M. T. ’21 Page Twenty-two MUSIC The music department under Miss McGregor has been interesting, helpful and successful this year. A. new feature was the music period and a very inter- esting one too. In it we had the stories of operas, famous selections from them, and almost got acquainted with Mme. Farrar, Caruso, and many other famous singers just by talk- ing about them. We had music current events every Mon- day which enab led us to get a broader knowledge of the musical world. In addition to the Girls’ Glee Club and the Boys’ Quartet there has been an orchestra organized consisting of G. Palm- er and M. Wenger, violinists, R. Hemmerling, Clarinet; E. Hemmerling, trombone; C. Johnson, saxaphone; and H. Parker, pianist. It has been a great help to have the orches- tra play between acts and before our picture shows. The Girls’ Glee Club, although it has practiced a great deal this year, appeared only once for the public and that was at the May Festival. We hope that next year we will give the public a better exhibition of our musical ability. The quartet consisting of C. Johnson, C. Weinland, H. Cary and L. Schlierbach has made several successful appear- ances which have won them much favor. The operetta ‘Love Pirates of Hawaii’ was one of the big events of this year. It was given by the Music Depart- ment which enabled us to pay for all of the music used during the year. Beatitudes Blessed are the teachers that are merciful, for they are the exception rather than the rule. Blessed are they that can bluff Prof., for they shall escape the quarterly exams. Bleseed are they who study their lessons, for their credits chall be numerous. Blessed are they who are in 5th period study, for their endurance is great. Blessed are they who throw away their gum before class, for they won't have to swallow it. Blessed are those who take chemistry, for they shall be wise. Blessed are they who participate in May Festival for they shall receive exercise. Rejoice and be exceeding glad for great shall be your reward at the end of the year. Sea Page Twenty-three OPERETTA “The Love Pirates of Hawaii’, a light opera in two acts was given March 4th by the Music Department under the direction of Miss McGregor. Everyone who participated showed splendid talent and very ably performed. The ar- tistic Hawaiian scenery (painted by Louis Schlierbach), the fanciful and beautiful costumes of the girls and the picturesque gaudy attire of the pirates, as well as the able directing of Miss McGregor helped to make the performance one which was a credit to the High School and which demonstrated the ability of the Music Department along such lines. The School Orchestra played for the Operetta and the whole performance was heartily enjoyed by the large crowd present.

Girls Glee Club Ghorustotseiratessei er ee ee ee Boys Dedication Stunt Night Stunt night was held on April 22, and as usual was a big success. A large crowd was present to witness the heroic efforts of the various classes to make their stunt the best. Each stunt, however, was so clever that no one could decide which was superior. Freshman Stunt The Freshman Class presented two stunts. The girls attired in white sailor togs danced a “‘Sailor’s Hornpipe’ and sang acatchy song. They made very bonny little sailor lasses and received a hearty round of applause. The boys gave a scene from ‘““Tom Sawyer’ with Clarence Hendricks as the inimitable Tom, assisted by George Guild, Frank Urton, Vir- gil Fox, Virgil Lehman and Dick Pierce. Aunt Polly was cleverly impersonated by Claire Gilman. Sophomore Stunt For their part on the program the Sophomores had three stunts. The first one “Love Taps’ portrayed Ernest Hem- merling and Robert Mackey as two old darkies. They were blindfolded and given folded papers with which they tried to swat each other. Their antics were ludicrous to say the least. “Domestic Economy’ was staged next recording the earnest endeavors of Hubby to economize in the home in spite of Wifey’s protests. The result was a sad one for Hubby with a triumph for Wifey and an accident for himself. The stars were Hubby—Frederick Wing and Wifey—Elsie Houda. As a grand finale the Jazz Quartette performed. Rena White, Blanche Phillips, Grant Wood and Delmar Mahaffey put their heads through a sheet on which comical figures were painted. Their rendering of old songs was laughable in the extreme and Delmar Mahaffey kept the audience in a gale of merriment by his facial expressions. It was very evident, however, that part of th singing came from another quartette hidden behind the scenes. Junior Stunt The Junior stunt was a “Midsession Dream” cribbed from Shakespeare. Melvin Lehman was the dreamer. Thinking about what the Juniors should have for a stunt he went to sleep and dreamed a curious dream full of scenes familiar to all High School students. First an Office Scene, then scenes from the four classes and finally a Student Body Meeting. All the members of the Junior Class participated in this stunt. Page Twenty-five After this a muscial trick was staged by the dreamer who vaunted his ability in playing different musical instruments by air waves, until Ernest Anshutz, the little yell leader of the class, quietly pulled away the screen behind him, disclosing the real musicians. The Junior Jazz Jingles, a Junior orchestra consisting of Elsa Anshutz, Graham Palmer, Reynold Hem- merling and Milton Houda played several pleasing selections between the stunts. Senior Stunt Last, but not least, came the Seniors. Their first stunt was a rendering of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Romeo and Juliet’ to the tune of Long, Long Ago. The four boys who sang— Louis Schlierbach, Forrest Hammond, Clarence Johnson and Clarence Weinland had dual personalities, half of each be- ing dressed as Romeo and the other half arrayed in the gar- ments of the coy Juliet. Their stunt brought down the house and they were called out before the curtain again to make their little bow. Following this the Senior Quartette com- posed of the same artists sang a snappy number and repeated the chorus by popular request. ‘‘A Midnight Fantasy’? end- ed the Seniors efforts and completed the program. The curtain was drawn as a cuckoo clock softly chimed twelve and a charming scene was revealed. Two big black picture frames stood side by side in the dim red light. Golda Ken- dall in one was a delightful old-fashioned belle and Gladys Titchener in the other was a modern society girl. As the lights grew brighter the girls stirred in their frames and step- ped out. On discovering each other they chatter softly re- vealing the great difference between modern and old-fashion- d speech and costums. When the cock crowed they reluctant- ly bad each other farewell and went back to their frames. The red light faded, soft music counded and the curtains were again drawn. Ee Are 2 2 May Festival A May Festival was given by the Department of Physical Education of B. U. H. S. assisted by the Glee Club and the High School Orchestra. It was held on the High School lawn, Thursday evening, May 26. The program included a number of folk dances in native costume and a May Pole Dance. One of the features of the evening was the crowning of the May Queen. Two refreshment booths was erected at which ice cream, candy and soft drinks were sold. The program was as follows: Choruses—Girls’ Giee Club. Flower Drill Wreath Dance Page Twenty-six ¥ Spring Song—Glee Club Crowning of May Queen Folk Dances—lIrish, Dutch and Swedish Clown Dance Japanese Dance Minuet Highland Fling May Pole Dance Ruth In a Rush The Senior play ‘Ruth In A Rush’’ will be presented at the High School, June 3. Following is a brief synopsis. Ruth Moore, a maid of manifold interests and dollars is distracted by a pair of persistent suitors. These she dis- poses of, and aided by Juliet Raymond, an intimate friend, she contrives to find (under an assumed name) the position of secretary to Gilbert Lansing. Meanwhile, an older sister, who lives at Willowdene and who is desirous of making a suitable match invites the girls for a visit to meet two of her husband's friends, one a millionaire, the other a distinguished gentleman. At Sunshine Junction where the city train connects with the local train Ruth and Juliet meet Gilbert Lansing and Philip Grant, who are also journeying to Willowdene. The four without revealing names become acquainted. Identities are finally discovered and Ruth becomes permanent secretary to the celebrity.

Everyone united in giving the Freshies a rousing welcome to the High. Each little new-comer repre- sented some familiar Mother Goose character, while the rest of the students, in honor of the class, were dressed as young- sters. |The main feature of the evening was the initiation of the Freshmen. Mother Goose (Helen Parker) gathered ali her flock upon the stage in full view of all. The Juniors, in a catchy song, gave some much needed advice, gathered by sad experience. The boys were given bottles or milk which they heroically consumed to the great delight of the audience. The girls took sticks and attempted to knock down paper bags hung over their heads. The successful ones received show- ers of rice, flour, sawdust and one lucky girl—candy. Next the boys were blindfolded and their fists dressed up to represent dolls. All unsuspecting they held them lov- ingly in their arms, until they discovered what they were hold- ing. The Seniors presented a living Freshman Album (All Bum) and the unfortunate Freshies saw themselves as others see them. Finally, the Sophomores gave a take off of a dis- orderly and an orderly class meeting and helped the Freshies to organize their class. After these strenuous events refreshments were a pleas- ing change. Ice cream cones, striped books of animal crack- ers and peppermint sticks were generously distributed. When the fun ended the Freshmen went home full-fledged students and everyone agreed that the Kid Party was a good sign of more fun to follow. Sophomore Party A motley crowd of masked figures gathered in the High School Auditorium on the evening of October 29 in response to a welcome invitation from the Sophomores. The room was tastefully decorated in keeping with the Hallowe'en Season and presented a varied spectacle. Ladies from Japan co- quetted fearlessly with ferocious looking brigands, while flashy Spanish maidens hobnobbed with clowns and colored gentlemen of every style and description. After everyone had satisfied themselves as to “Who's Who in B. U. H. S.”’,a grand march around the room followed while the faculty gravely considered the merits and demerits of the various costumes and made their decision as to which was best, a hard job for anyone, even our redoubtable faculty. Forrest Hammond, as a Chinese Mandarin, was awarded first prize and Robert Bramkamp, an on old negro mammy, drew Page Thirty-four @’ the prize for the most comical outfit. The evening passed swiftly with games and stunts which were heartily enjoyed by the crowd. The most popular feature was the cider booth and the games were broken by numberless excursions to this refreshing corner. The girls found their supper partners by matching beau- tiful colored autumn leaves. Hot chocolate, cake and ice cream were served from a booth ia one corner of the hall. The affair broke up with a hearty cheer for the Sophomores and a hope that they would give many more such parties. Senior Party The Senior party made December 17 a red letter day for all the High Schol students. The red-lighted room was cheerful with holly and Christmas bells. A large snow-cov- ered Christmas tree occupied the center of the stage, its branches loaded with mysterious ribbon tied parcels, A harmless looking spray of mistletoe, hanging in one door was carefully avoided by the girls. One of the popular attractions was a curiosity shop held in the library. The curiousities on display excited a great deal of attention and included a number of familiar objects often seen around school, each typifying some well remeber- ed joke at the owner's expense. The evening passed pleasantly with games and contests. The girls, especially, enjoyed a sewing machine stunt, but the boys proved rather unappreciative of it. Finally a grand march to the library where hot chocolate, mince pie and cakes were served. By each plate was a dainty Christmas stocking of candy and nuts. Later in the evening Santa Claus appeared as fat and jolly as ever, and made a short speech (in a voice which sounded suspiciously like Clarence Weinland’s.) Amid much laughing and joking he distributed the presents from the tree. Sometimes a boy would receive a string of beads or a ribbon, while some girl might draw a pistol or a knife. Just before leaving a few songs were in order, and everyone de- clared that the Senior's last party was a party to be remem- bered. Junior Party The Juniors chose February 4 for their party, a Valentine Carnival. Upon entering the building the guests were con- ducted to the pawn shop of Isaac, the Jew (Milton.) Here, after heated discussions, they pawned some possession, re- ceiving in return a pawnticket and a handful of little red hearts representing money. Thus armed, they sallied forth to the carnival which was held in the hall. Several booths were erected, one for fortune telling, one for shooting, and various Page Thirty-five other sports. For a while these booths had a thriving busi- ness, then when every one was bankrupt, the assembly doors were opened to the crowd. The room was decorated in red and white with cupids, hearts and arrows. The entertain- ments were varied and clever, including a contest ““Who Said lt In School,” a real horse race, the formation of a club, and a number of other stunts. The things which the boys had pawned were used in matching pardners in one game and the girls’ were spun on a roulette wheel for supper partners. Refreshments of jello, fruit punch, lady fingers and candy were served. The evening closed with a jolly game of ‘Miller Boy’’ and the guests dispersed well pleased. The Juniors had lived up to their reputation in having parties that were ‘‘different.”’ M and M History Wienie Bake As the outcome of a contest in the Mediaeval and Modern History Class, the losing side entertained the winners with a steak roast at Hall’s grade. Professor and Mrs. Means ac- companied the class and a good time was reported by all. Everyone got revenge on someone for past, present and future grievances, Prof. included. Before dark baseball was in order and afterwards came a roaring fire, steak, burned fin- gers and sand. The winners sincerely hoped that they would win another contest it such an enjoyable party would follow. Senior Steak Roast It was a beautiful night in October when the Senior Class of '21 set out for the desert. The outing was in honor of Edgar McAllister and Ruth Burnham, both of whom were leaving town. All were full of pep and enthusiasm and a lively chatter was kept up by the group on the truck in spite of the bumps which the driver seemed unable to avoid. Whitewater point was the destined place for the picnic and upon arriving everyone heartily set to work carrying the supplies to the ground or carrying wood for the fire. After the steaks, potato chips, buns, fruit, marshmellows, coffee and all the other good things were eaten and a general good time was enjoyed by all, the party returned home well satis- fied and happy, resolving that many more such happy events would take place in the future. Ge Wy Senior Taffy Pull On the evening of October 12 the members of the Class of ’21 met at the home of one of the class and from there went to the Banning Opera House where reserved seats were awaiting for the party. After the show the crowd merrily made their way up Page Thirty-six eee to the High Schcol Building and after music and a general good time in the Assembly Hall, everyone rushed down to the Domestic Science kitchen where delightful odors already filled the air. Taffy was the most important item on the menu but it wasn’t the only thing. You can’t imagine the joy and fun in rummaging through forbidden cupboards and finding delicious coffee and . If we cared to we could give you a few more suggestions in regard to taffy making but maybe we had better keep our secret with the other treasurers of the Class of ’21. Although it wasn’t Hallowe'en we met a few ghostly figures on our homeward way. Maybe it was the effect of the coffee, who knows? Anyway everyone had a good time and wished for more such evenings before their High School days were over. Mr. and Mrs. Rasmus One of the most pleasing entertainments of the year was “The Music Master’ presented by Mr. and Mrs. Rasmus of Long Beach. This was given Friday, December 10 at the High School under the Student Body auspices. These people came to us highly recommended, and the large crowd present was well pleased with their masterful presentation of this touching story. Chemistry Wienie Bake One of the jolliest events of the season was the Chemistry Wienie Bake, March 23. The class motored to Whitewater Point. It was a lovely moonlight night and there was plenty of eats (including ice cream) and what more was necessary for a good time? Ina short time a roaring fire was burning and the wienies were sizzling merrily. After the marshmellows were toasted and the stories and songs over, the class presented Dr. Pope, their teacher, with a huge Easter egg which he generously promised to share with them the next day in Chemistry. The refreshment committee had a surprise in the shape of little chocolate eggs which were passed around the circle. After a yell for Dr. Pope, the gath- ering separated and the journey toward Banning began. Miss Frieda Phelps of Pasadena, and Miss Dorothy Chobe of Glendale were out-of-town guests. The following events could not be written in full be- cause the annual went to press before date: Freshman Picnic, May 14. Senior Play, June 3. Junior-Senior Banquet, June 9. Page Thirty-seven ss) aq of o t io) 2 =| al w) on iv) Ay DEBATE Debating after a seven year rest came gloriously to the front in Banning Union High School on December ninth, when Elsa Anshutz and Melvin Lehman, affirmative, and Gladys Titchener and Robert Bramkamp, negative, defeated Chaffey Union High School on the subject of party conventions vs. direct primaries as a method of nominating president and vice-president of the United States. The decision of the judges were unanimously in favor of both Banning teams, thus giving us six points in the league contest. At Chaffey a very small audience heard the debate, whereas at Banning, not only the whole student body, but a good many townspeople turned out. The splendid work cf the teams, the efficience of our debating coach and High School principal, Mr. Means, the unquestionable loyalty of the Student Body and Banning’s courtesy to other schools made all feel that Banning Union High was a good school to be in. An interesting debate was held on February 17 between Colton and Banning. The question was: Resolved that Pub- lic Opinion Should Support Closed Shop, and it proved to be a live one. Four B. U. H. S. students were chosen as repre- sentatives. Elsa Anshutz and Roger Walch for the Affirm- ative and Golda Kendall and Gladys Titchener for the nega- tive. Our negative side lost at Colton 2 to 1, despite the good arguments put up in favor of their side, while our affirm- ative team won here 2 to | against Colton. As Banning has one more point from the last debate than Colton, this leaves the league championship between San Bernardino and Banning and we expect a lively debate in the near future. “Resolved that the United States should grant immediate Independence to the Philippines, retaining over them a Pro- tectorate similar to that over Cuba.” The last debate of the school year between San Bernar- dino and Banning took place at Redlands April 8. Roger Walch and Gladys Titchener took the affirmative side. hey put in hours of good work in preparing their arguments but after a hotly contested debate San Bernardino won 5 to 0. Page Thirty-nine Bob and Stanley met at the corner of the stairs only to collide and knock their heads together. Stanley— ‘You've made my head ring.” Bob—‘‘That’s because it’s empty.”’ Stanley—‘‘Didn’t your head ring?” Bob—‘‘Of course not.” Stanley—‘‘That shows it’s cracked.” ) ' MR. ERICSON, the Janitor Page Forty Basket Ball Athletics appeal to most high school boys as the most exciting and perhaps most important activities of a school year. However, there are times when circumstances are such that a school can not turn out a winning team in certain sports, regardless of the eagerness and sincerity of the participants. In such a position Banning High found herself at the start of the basket ball season, with but one player left from last year’s team. Incidentally new but promising material had to be worked into shape. The hard work displayed in practice by both the play- ers and their coach was proof that they were working to build up a team to be proud of; and as it is recognized that it takes hard work and time to construct a worthwhile team, our fail- ures this season have not discouraged the fellows but have strengthened their determination to give proof of their mettle next year. And our light but speedy team is expected to be a wissbang. Basket ball started November 6th; and though our team did not meet with success at every turn, it displayed through- out the entire season a spirit of sportsmanship which won the respect of all her opponents. Basket Ball Line-up Walch, F Bigley, C Szuggas, G Fox, F Hammond, C Hendircks, G Guild, F Smith, G Base Ba The baseball season is now well under way with four Page Forty-one games played and but two remaining to end the season. In these four games we have not been successful but we expect to return with the bacon in our game with the San Jacinto nine next Friday and with Corona on the 14th. Our base- ball team deserves much credit for the manner in which they have constructed a good team when the difficulties of a very poor field and new players are considered.

The only game played was with San Jacinto in which pep and enthusiasm were showed. Indoor base ball and tennis were taken up after the holidays. We will soon play off the tie in base ball which stands between Beaumont and B. U. H. S. The girls are putting all their efforts on the May Fete to make it a great success. Throughout the year the girls have showed enthusiasm and interest in their athletics and we have sufficient good material to make winning teams next year. Here’s to our school, the B. U. H.
