The smooth, rolling hills were bathed in a golden rose glow reflected from .the brilliant heavens. The desert sand stretched endlessly on to realms beyond the horizon. A great calm seemed to settle over the vast expanse. The brilliant colors faded and there followed a sombre blue grey, which a minute later faded into the hazy darkness of the oncoming desert night. The evening star shone out brightly, only to be rapidly eclipsed a little later by the limpid silver rays of the resplendent moon. The desert slowly became an expanse of indescribable enchantment and I gazed spellbound by its loveliness. . . FR-EDERICA DRESIE.

EDITORIAL STAFF g I Leonard Soules, Editorg Robert White, Business Manager in Frederica Dresie, Jokesg May Gowedsen, Literaryg Lelia Duncan, Society , Inez I-Iofwe, Calendar 2? Editorial is Sometime ago I read a poem which impressed me so deeply that I immediately learned it. It was short but beautiful. There is no friend like an old friend, Who has shared our morning daysg No greeting like his Welcome, No homage like his praise. Fame is the scentless sunflower, With gaudy crown of gold, But Friendship is the breathing rose ' With sweets in every fold. - Its truth is appealing and everyone knows that a true friend is a most precious thing in this World. Sometime in your life you have quoted that well-known saying: HA friend in need is a friend indeed g perhaps you have found yourself in a discouraging situation and a friend has helped you to overcome the difficulty. You have then known what a blessing true friendship is. While in school the need of friends does not seem so insistent because of the Wealth of comradeship We enjoy. But When We leave Page Three 1 . . 1 school and each chooses a different path in life We feel that need more keenly. h v V As each year draws to a close and some of us leave our High h School group, We shall be much happier if We have developed t e faculty of surrounding ourselves with friends, friends, Who are ready to lend a helping hand, who will criticize usiif We need toibe 't' 'Z d' in an open friendly Way' and Who Will help us to decide cri ici e , i , , , those vexing problems which are bound to arise in life- ,Them ' ' 1 d the 'o though there Will be, no doubt, some blue and lone y ays, 3 y of the ,sympathy and encouragement which a true friendship brings Will help us to overcome them. I A Once in a While We find a person who, wherever he goes, sur- d himself with friends With an incredible facility, but We are roun s . not all blessed with that good fortune. - Friends must be made and 'A ' ' b 'tt n on then kept. Odes, songs, legends, stories, epics have een Wri e friendship We find it everywhere recognized .as one of the great truths in life and one of the blessings of mankind. . . r, - vwid-7' t sENioR CLASS---1920 i . . t Page Fou 1 -,,s L4-, ff, '.

The last gleaming rays of Old Sol had disappeared behind the hills of the little desert valley, leaving the small town to refresh itself in the cool shadows of the evening. With the shadows ap- peared a few people, who, during the day had been in hiding from the scorching rays of the sun. ' In the street one figure was conspicuous. It was that of an old woman, hobbling slowly towards a square cement building two stories in height. Upon the roof of a very extensive porch was displayed a large sign with black lettering: GENERAL MERCHANDISE ' The entrance to the second story was gained bya flight of wooden steps which ascended from the -right of the building and connected with a porch. Above the stairway was a similar sign: ' HROGMSJ' -. 4 The figure approached the long wooden bench placed against the front wall of the store, and seated herself by the door. She was large, shapeless, and bent with age and strenuouspast experiences. Her feet were clad in shabby, coarse shoes. Her skirt trailed be- hind, but hiked up high in front to display a pair of tanned bare legs. The dirty appearance of her brown outing flannel dress was somewhat offset by a fresh white apron. Her white hair was cut short, not unlike a man 's, parted on one side and a curly lock was brushed back from her forehead. She reached' 'for a newspaper, and, open-mouthed, peered at it over silver-rimmed glasses, displayu ing a set of rugged teeth. The lines of her face were drawn and hard-the tell-tale marks of her many past hardships. e She had come from France when but a mere girl. Her mother had died soon after reaching this country, and she had grown to womanhood in the rough mining camps of the desert, where her father earned their living by following the mining booms with his saloons. Upon his death she inherited a small sum of money and a considerable stock of liquor. She, too, had followed the mining booms for a long time, then had settled down with her grocery store and rooming house. I She glanced up from her paper upon the arrival of an old gentleman.. He wore a pair of old striped overalls with a blue Jacket. His hair was hidden by his high black cap, although its color was suggested by his heavy white moustache. He was 'fOld Tom, Mrs. lEfarker's husband. Husband? Yes-legally so, although she treated him more as if he were a child, and a very disobedient one, too. In one hand he carried a lantern, for he had just rem turned from meeting one of the evening trains. I ' ' Page Six l', y 4, 4 . --.va 1 . . l xl l -. - -7 l .4 l 1 i I v 4 E l .4 l f'Deedn't enybudy come un ze train? she asked him in a com- manding voice. . - T A Nobody, he answered. , 'fO?ze curseed luck! -. A . , 1 'tYou-haven't got no kick, responded Old Tom. 'fEvery room's filled but the back.',' -- . . Weel, et mite as weel be feled hedn't hit? T'w'ould be a doller more, if he -was ac-.man 5 a Meexican, 'twould be feefty cents. Hurry yourself and .geet ze lights, tees dark nowf' .She followed him into the store and busied herself behind the counter. T , She heard the slub, Uslub, ' slub, of footsteps on the porch, and there entered a man. He had his hands in his pockets and walked slouchily along, dragging his feet. His.. shoulders were rounded, although not with age, for he was in truth a very ,young man. He wore a shabby suit and shoes covered with tar. From underneath the low pulled vizor of his cap, his little white narrow, eyes gleamed. .Theywere still not one minute, but roved continu4 ously, observing every detail about him. I - '4Yuh got a room? he asked. HA cheap un? ' -'I gives ye one -for ze doller ze nite, for ze week, five dollers you pay en 'vancefl f T a '4One- nitefs all, he answered, slinging a silver dollar on the counter. ' . She then hobbled up the stairs, and he followed. -She ledwhim to the back room which he was to occupy. Then she crossed the hall, unlocked and entered her own room. It had an old andwworn appearance. The wall paper was torn and faded, the curtains hung stiff with dusty There was a small table, covered with boxes and papers, a rocking chair, an old fashioned bed, and, standing ,square against the wall in one corner was a high, broad, old chiffonier. This she pulled away from the wall, disclosing a small closed door. She. opened this and pulled out a small black chest. This she-lugged, to the-comfy old rocking chair and opened it upon her lap. Oh, what a happy old woman was she! There it was, two hundred thousand dollars, in gold and paper. She ran her stubby, hard fingers through it, and grasping a hand-full clutched it tightly. This wasthe result of 'her many years of hard work and saving. This was her reward-the key to her ambition, for with this she was going back to France-back to her own beloved people. How she longed to see them once again! How she had looked forward to that day during all these long-hard years! And at last it was to come! Yes, in a very few days she was going to the coast, where she would take the steamer for home. And Old Tom, was he going too? Oh dear, no! He could take care of himself. The store she was going to sell to Mr. Rant, who was to take possession of it on the following day. When Old Tom had heard of her plans his eyes had filled with tears. Not that he wanted to go to France 5 of that he had not the least desire.. But for years he had toiledf- Page Seven V wr ' .S 1 fffs. xl - V. ' . 1. ' almost' as a servant, an uncomplaining subject to the demands of her imperious nature. And now would she leave him alone, and with no portion of that fortune which he had helped to accumulate? Should there be no provision for his declining days? As the old lady sat there, staring hard at the money, she be- came suddenly conscious that someone was watching her. She j umped- up, quickly closed the chest, put it in the closet and replaced the chiffonier. Then she cautiously opened her dolor, looked up and down the hall, but could see no one. ' ' . It .was very late that night before the olde lady retired, as she was busy preparing for her journey. Once she was aroused slightly by a noise at the window, but thinking it to be ze blame kets!' did not bother to investigate. ' lUpon arising next morning the first thing to take her notice was that the old chiffonier was not in the place in which she had left it. An awful fear clutched at her heart. Hastily she pulled out the chiffonier, flung open the door and-thechest was- gone! Yes-her chest was gone! She could not speak or move for some seconds, she could not realize that it was gone, gone-gone! When she regained her speech she called Tom in such a ter- rifying voice that the old gentleman came rushing up the steps, wondering the while what could have happened to his lady. She unlocked the door and he entered. He saw the open closet but could not understand until she explained that the money was gone. He had not known before where she kept her precious fortune. Her plans were--ruined, her life ambitions utterly destroyed. She had passed through all those long years of hardships to end with nothing. Her fortune! She had nothing more to live for. To live would be to struggle on as she had done during all her past life. The thought was intolerable. Old Tom did not know whether to be happy or to be sad, for she could not go now, and he would not have tolive alone. She would stay and they would live on in the store as they had done. Alnd yet-he wanted tosee her happy, he wanted her to go for her own sake. So he doggedly set to work to examine matters. There seemed to be no clue to the robbery. The money, chest, and all, was gone. They did not know whom to suspect. 'Dhe 'door had been locked and-had the closet? No, in her haste the evening be- fore she had forgotten to lock it. . Old. Tom. went for the town sheriff and together they con- tinued investigations. When-what was that Old Tom saw on the window curtain? It was tar, yes and there it was on the sill. He had ag notion that the burglar had entered through the window. He went out the window and found the tar on the porch and traced it to the window of the room across the hall. Then he remembered the man who had occupied the back room that night, and who had left the houseearly in the morning. Immediately they set to searching the town. Inquiries were made atfthe railroad station, tourists were questioned, but no trace Page Eight 4- .:2'J couldfbB,fO11.11d-ffgThen.' 1tcWaS1'Sp'orted that one of '-the railroad shop- merfrhady,d-isappelared, and from the description given, 'he was iden- tifiedfasgQ,beling,,theIburglar.

' Who-What? . Oh, zetheef 'ee ee's caught. Oh, good God, 'ee ees caught? - Her face- brightenedg she- jumped to her feet. v It was not until 'then that Tom realized what the continuance of her plans -would: mean to him. His countenance fell. He was op- pressed by 'the sense of his coming loneliness. She misunderstood the expression and fell again into the chair. r 'fN'o, Tom, etees not. so, you fool mef' g No, l1's No, 'fsaid Tom, once-. again in control of his feelings. c IlfNlS- so! Deputy Lanefof Mark City caught him with the goods. Ha, ha, the. .fool thought he was making a get-away' when his ipartner imet him at the cross roads in that shack of a car. Huh, that's where they were fooled, for their old 'Tin Liz' .decided to have a break-down just before- she got to .the city. I had warned Lane, so he kept his eyes on the highway. Then when he seen the bird comin' in the garage, he snapped on him! When he searched the car he found the cash, ev'ry damn dollar! O--o- was all she said. She sat in a rigid attitude for a long time. Old Tom interrupted the silence occasionally by repeating to her certain details of the affair, all of which she drank in without comment. However, silence was but a cover for her Qusy thoughts. At length she said: ' Tom, and he noticed that her voice was more gentle than usual, would you really mees me very much, Tom, if I don 't come back, never? . s He looked at her in surprise, tried to answer but the words seemed to choke him and his eyes became dim. Then the old lady burst forth: No-I weel not leave you. Only ze trip, ze visit wiz my people. Then I come back to you, QI'om. We donlt work eny more, just buy ze nice lettle house wiz flowers, and ze roses, like my home in France. We weel have a home+a real home. Cvld Tom arose, walked to her side, laid his hand on her shoul- der, and looked at her long and earnestly. Then he turned and quietly went out. LELIA DUNCAN.

She was driving smoothly along at perhaps fifteen miles an hour, thinking of any-4 thing but that she was rapidly approaching a corner.. In fact, to be very exact, she was planning what to serve for dinner on the following day, 'fcreamed peas, meat. What kind? steak or-B CRB '77 . an . . Sie was not sure just what had taken place, but there, right before her stood a garbage wagon on three wheels. The fourth wheel lay under it. The owner of the wagon stood regarding the scene of wreckage with an expression of - exasperation and anger upon his homely face, which' became more red with every breath. Then he saw a policeman approaching and blazed forth: HThet's just why you -oughtn't to let. awoman drive! They all lose their heads and are perfect durn' fools when anything goes wrongll' r I Now, wait a minute! said the officer, who, 'as Mrs. Kitling remarked to herself, was not at all bad looking, then glancing at Mrs. Kitling, who sat helplessly looking at the wreck, he continued: Let's get things straight, and we don't need any personal ire- marks to do so! Miss-ah-er-the young lady was not going so terribly fast, but of course she should have been watching. Now- you, turning to thelman, how close were you watchingn that corner yourself? I guess we'd better' letlyou both tell it tothe judge, maybe- ' ' 'KI ain't goin' to talk to no judge! Judges don't. care nothin' 'bout what happens to a poor man like me, an '- Q -. See here! interposed the policeman. 'You, go to the police, court-and you'd better go too,'! addressing Mrs. K. 1 V But I don 't know the way! I drove over from Highlands and I don't. know very much about Redlands, said Mrs. Kitling, and ltlhe officer, watching her big brown eyes, offered eagerly to escort er. I don't even know which way to go first, and she looked more helpless than before. Straight ahead for three blocks, then to the right. It didn It damage your machine much. ' No, only bent the fender some, she answered. , Don!t worry about it. The judge can 't do much to you,,' and he- noticed that her complexion was beautiful, also that she was small. He had always prefered small girls. Her hair was nearly black, and he liked the way it curled beneath her hat. But her eyes! They- V Page Twelve ' .-, a I ' . - , , ff' fb' -J ' ' '- ' l ' . . - -: - .4 .' Is, this',thefplace to .turn,?'-? 1 ,,fWhat ?-O+that is-yes! - 1 . . ,I y howlvmuch' further is it?

After a few questions he asked- her name. l , j - e , ' tfMrs. JamesfE..'Kitling. . H I J The words producedla queer effect on the young officer. He .coughed two or-,three times, then confusedly left the room. But flvhen she turned to go, he' was at the door ready to escort her to er car. . l . 1 I y w 'As she passed through the remaining part of the town several childrenapointed at her wrecked fender and headlight, and one old man turned completely around to watch her out of sight. ' She ignored these-annoyances and with a proud tilt of her -head resolved to forget the whole event. But then she remembered the delapidated appearance of the car. How could she forget it with that reminder? -And, of 'course Jim would see it and ask all manner of questions. How .she detested questions! What would Jim say? He wouldn't be cross-he never was. No, he would tease her for years! But hebwould never know that it bothered her! So withthis resolution she drove up and stopped before her .husband 's drug store. He was standing out in front. He noted the appearance of the car, and with ill-concealed amusement waited until his wife was standing before him to comment. I - . ' What in the name of-? demanded James. '4Why, I just had a little accident, replied his wife. Bute-but- V'fHave you gotten the mail yet? Did I get a letter from mother? asked Mrs. Kitling, apparently having. no thought of the car. l - y - Mr. Kitling could no longer even attempt toconceal his mirth. He -laughed, and laughed-and. still laughed. When he finally got his breath enough to speak, he asked: ' Kit, did you climb a telegraph pole-or plow through a hotel? . There isn't a thing hurt but one fender- 'Yes, I know, thatls what I can 't understand. Why didn 't you bang both of 'em up? Then it wouldn't look so lop-sided, and he laughed again. James, did you get mea letter? Mrs. James, returned he, Hyou haven't answered my ques- tion yet-which course did you follow, the pole or the hotel? 'Both! Yes I did! I climbed up one side of a telephone pole and coasted down the other.

Did you get any mail? p - - ' f'Yes, there's a letter in there for you from the speed king-'L Well, I' must go home and start dinner. Goodgbye, Jimi? . I The next evening Mrs. Kitlingwas putting the last touches on. her table. Sherwas about toiserve to Jim and 'a .business friend of his, Mr. Sprecker, the meal which she had planned on the fateful ride of the day before. The table really looked quite pretty with its American Beauty centerpiece. She was again naming the dishes to be served, when she- heard Jim and Mr. Sprecker enter. ' She glanced into the buffet mirror, and being assured that- she looked well, went into the front room. , I V ' - V HThis is my wife, Mr. Sprecker, said Jim as she entered. '4Well, well, boomed Mr. Sprecker, f'I'm sure' you have a de- lightful home, Mrs. Kitling. Such lovely roses on the porch. ' You know, roses are my favorite-flower. I f'Yes, responded Mrs. Kitling. They are beautiful. That is Mr. Kitling's favorite bush. He ,is very' particular about thecare it receives. ' - I . - I HThat is the finest rose we have, by a long, way, spoke Jim. But we've some others that are pretty. Like to see theb? ,Then, turning to his wife, Hweld have time before dinner, Kit? A 4 HO, yes, I'm sure you will, and she fairly flew tocomplete the preparation of the meal. if ' ' The dinner passed smoothly and pleasantly. Mr. Sprecker' was a very interesting talker 'and it seemed- no time until they were seated in the front' room. ' if We might take a ride, only Mrs. Kitling. had a little mishap with the machine yesterday, said James. Didn't hurt anything'much? asked the guest. f . f4Oh, No! Only took off a few fenders and some lights, Mr. Kitling assured him. ' But the funny thing was how it happened. She spied a bird or something she Wanted- on a telegraph pole.and went up to get it.

'The place wasqon the boulevard between '?San Bernardino and, Los 'Angeles The purpose of the journey was pleasure, and Mrs. Kitling had insisted upon going in spite of the- drizzling rain that made the- paved road resemble a skating rink. - ' Q . ' Q . James was provoked 'with the morning, and with his wife for having persuaded him to venture 'forth on such a morning. He drove fast, as he-always g did when angry, looking straight ahead, with not a pleasant thought in his mind. ' i ' Then suddenly alargelred truck stood before them. It was too late to avoid a-collision! The two came together with a crash, the lighter car swerving round until it faced in the opposite di- rection. ' - J i - ff,Kit, are you all right? was the first thing James asked. !'fYes, butlook at the car, wailed Mrs. Kitling. James had jumped down as soon as he' heard her 4'yes, and was now re- garding the car with great care. J , 'fWe.ll, I'll be- Kit! There's a corner here!', He pointed to a break in thelong line of trees that bordered the roadhon either side., Unlessone was very familiar with the road he would never have expected that crossroadg it was sovill marked. Wall Wal! Yu got spun clear 'round,. didn't.yu? drawled the large man who had been driving the truck. i'What did it do to you? asked James. HO, nothin', only broke some spokes in that back wheel yu hit. Then, looking at the car, Hwal, wal, yu got considerable more'n a wantin' a garage? Wal, wal, there's one 'bout two miles back 'n I reckon I better haul yu. Got some rope? and he set to examine the contents of his tool box. 4'Here's some. Les' tie 'er up, ' he said, after a second. J James was very cheerful during the short--drive to the garage. First, his wife was dazed, then curious, and finally she understood. Manlike, he was trying to excuse himself for the accident by emphasizing the bad weather which made it difficult to see for a distance greater than half a block, and how ill marked-the corner was. But he did it all in a very cheerful manner that gave an ap- pearance of uneasiness underneath. That was a bad place. Jove! This means a new radiator- and Lord knows what else, he remarked. Of course the corner should be marked, but if we had not been going so fast I think it- , Q Page Fifteen . 1 Yes, but who wants to ride at a snail 's pace on such aqfine. morning.

It was magnolious, but you-'? , A x . u 'fKEit,'when did you get that Word? , I - Wasn't it strange how he could think up something to say every time she ventured near the accident or his former attitude? But Mrs. Kitling was a wise little woman, and understanding then' nature of a man, she did not utter her thoughts aloud ,but hastened. to befriend her word. , Why, that word just expresses it, even if I did coin it myself, doesn't it?,' 1 I . '4Yes, I suppose it does. You might write a dictionary if you could remember to spell water with one 't, ' he responded, laugh- in l . ' ' ' gY'Maybe I can't spell so well, but the only thing I ever. drove into was- ' I c I p. A hotel, offered James. I guess we have arrived, Kit, he added as the truck pulled them into a garage.. .

A ' f'How badly is the car damaged? asked, Jim- as they ap4 proached. - - g - h, I don't know exactly. You'll have to have a new radiator, fenders, front lights and hood at least, and perhaps some damage was done to the frame. ' Well, thought Mrs. Kitling, HI may have' caused a lot of trouble and I certainly have afforded my share. of amusement, but tHe who laughs last laughs best,' and I'm surely going to laugh, too!

I beheld two shy half-aframi-rlsi, of about thirteen and fifteen slowly walking up' the steps of a two- storylresidelnce. They 'knocked at the door, but no one answered, 'they knocked again, and still no answer. After trying the other doors the younger sister, for they were sisters, turned to the other with a questioning look on her face and seemed to ask what they shouldedo. The older sister answered that they should wait a little while, as it was early and perhaps some one would come. Let me introduce these two, the first arrivals of the class of 1920, as Ruth and Dilla' Howe. I , Soon 'another girl opened thevgate and ascended the steps. Upon being told that the door was .locked she also set down and waited. She was one of the Chilson twins, Adella. She said that her sister Alice also .would enter as a Freshman that year. In about fifteen minutes a jolly girl named .Pauline Carter joined the waiting trio. She happened to know just where the professor, lVIr. Thomas, lived and told them something of shim. Soon Mr. Thomas arrived and after welcoming them, opened the house where they were to spend the first years of High School life. They then registered and upon reaching the porch again were greeted by a cheery-voiced woman, lvliss Paxton, one of the teachers, who had arrived in the meantime. The day I speak of was the fifteenth day of September in 1916. Our Freshman Class enrollment, when complete, numbered about twenty-seven. September twenty-fifth of the same year the Freshmen organized their class with lvir. Purviance as class teacher. They elected Burton Leak, president, Loretto lVIcCrary, vice-presi- dentg Floyd Haws, secretary, and Pauline Carter, treasurer. We chose purple and gold for .our class colors and the chrysanthemuni lor our class flower. ' September the twenty-ninth the rest of the students gave the Freshmen a reception and initiated us by making us jump into tubs of water, step over 'ditches of water, bumping our heads on the floor and at last making us bow to the Great Spirit and promise to be loyal to the school. That night we became full-fledged B. U. H. S. students. ' We were a lively bunch that year and on October the third' our class numbers, '20 appeared in very conspicuous spots on hills and water tanks. As fast as our rivals took them down we put them up again until they became tired and left them alone. Some of the class numerals still remain. Page Seventeen s P , ' The year 1917 came andthe Freshmen had another election'of officers. So, on February -the seventh, A Loretto McCrary was' elected president, John McCue, vice-president, Kate White, secre- tary, and Floyd Haws, treasurer. - A . . In the Sophomore year our number had been reduced from twenty-seven to fifteen, ten of Whom had entered the B. U. H. S. as Freshmen. Mrs. Prince held the honored position of class ad- viser and teacher. - m This year the class elected Raymond Richie president, Kate White vice-president, and Pauline Carter secretary-treasurer. One of the most memorable events of the year was a Christmas party which was given December the seventeenth. The small Joke gifts distributed were the cause of much merriment. Then came the tragedy of February twenty-second when-our beloved school was consumed by fire. For the remainder of the year we migrated between the dormitory and churches. Again there was a sad falling off of our numbers, Ruth Howe embarked upon the sea of matrimonyg William McDonald, leftschool during Christmas vacation to work at home, Esther Rfedfern moved to Bakersfield, Ray Richie started to work in a 'garage in Fresno, Kate White and Ruth Loomis went to Los Angeles, one to attend business college and the other the new Franklin High School. As Juniors we numbered five, three of us being of the original twenty-seven. Elizabeth Smith joined the class, coming from' Chi- cago, and Herbert Johnson also joined our number at Christmas, coming from South Pasadena Seminary. On October fifth we helped to initiate the Freshmen and I think they will tell you we made a good job of it. ' October nineteenth our school was closed on account of the Flu, but opened December thirtieth in our wonderful new- High School building. This was a red letter day in our history. While school was closed our class was saddened with the passing onto the Land Beyond of two of our number, Raymond Richie, Novemf ber twenty-third, and Ruth CHoweJ Johnson, December first, 1918. We Juniors. shared in the Senior Commencement festivities when, on May sixteenth, the Senior and Junior Classes were enter- tained in Apartment 20 by Miss Paxton and Mrs. Brass. As Seniors we numbered three until Christmas, Rfuth Comp- ton, Dilla Howe and Bessie Hill. Then Bessie left us and now we are two. Pauline Carter is attending the High School at Berkeley. -Soon after Christmas vacation we appeared with our class pins, having presented one to our class teacher, Miss McNeese. Many are the.class meetings and events that take place as the time for graduation approaches. April twenty-eighth the Domestic Sclence Department of our High School gave a luncheon in honor of the Seniors and their guests. On May the second we had our pictures taken for the Annual. - It is with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure that we look Page Eighteen f0IfW9,i'd'7to the o01T1iT1S of -H COIi11T16I1Cement' and the parting oifr dear friends and schoolmates.

I had ,-V been away from Barstow just a month, but it seemed agesito me.' I yearned ,for a glimpseof the school and I would have given my most vailuable possessions to .have met anYO119 f1a0m my home towntp' I was strolling down a sidekstreet of LosfAngeles wishing for home and becoming more melancholy 'with every step when I noticed a small grey house, nothing at alll unusual about the house, to be sure, but it bore a sign which caused me to stop- HAA Glimpse into the Future-Madame De Celle at home 10:30- 4:30 stood forth in prominent letters. I glanced at my watch anddecided that I could learn quite a :little in an hour.and auhalf. ' A neat i' French maid answered my knock and lmmedlately ushered me into a small room. The only llght was from- a large ball that 'rested in the center of the room, on a dark cushion. It threw adim rose tint over the scene which presented a symphony of soft dark colors. - . 1 f -t'Madamoiselle wishes to' know of the future'?H ' I . I nodded. . ' - f t'Madamoiselle will then sit here, she mentioned to a cushion near the glowing ball, Hand gaze -intentlyinto the magic spheref' I' did as she directed. At first I saw only 'aa beautiful, liquid, limpid, rose-colored space. Slowly this space took the form- of a room, which was lined with books. As the scene became more dis- tinct I saw the title, 4'The Adventure of -Salem Bagg -Leonard Soules. Book after book bore Leonard 's name, and afterya minute or so I realized that 'Leonard was to become an author-not one of the vast- number whose works are read widely at first, only to be forgotten in -a few years, but one whose name would live through the centuries. s . ' Again the space before me held no picture. -Then' I saw a young man enter. He seemed quite business like, even during the scenes' which followed, for this- youth -was evidently a famed hero of the screen. At any rate he was taking the prominent part in an Art Craft feature. Suddenly he turned his face to mine-Frank Greer! Quickly he clasped the leading lady to him and in one turn she faced me. As he murmured fervently HI love you,', her face was raised and I recognized Lelia. Perhaps my gasp of sur- prise had something to do wit it, but nevertheless the scene quickly changed. V I This time I beheld one of the stately rooms of the White House. A ba1'1Q.UQ'C, OT other social function was taking place, for the room was brilliantly llghted ,while gay silks and satins and jewels added to the scene. At first I recognized no one, then as someone men- tioned the President, and by a slight inclination of the head pointed Page Twenty-Efign1: 1, -f 'x l him out, I saw no other than Walter Bell! I A , ' cease 'Z Perhaps Madame noticed my agitatioiiyvajnldduxsseidmiitelrs plbiiffgg to transport-me to a more expected arcadie. For slowly but cer- tainly, a cozy- cottage appeared. It was -a lovely place with rgsss and trees, which.SliJ0ke of happiness and home ibut then Ruth al- ways had a tendency towards making 3, place. home-like for it was she who occupied the little rocker.J Then Joe came. As he Walked up to the pergola, Ruth arose and together they entered the house I fell. better, more calm. i W A I - ' ' I The next scene was one of a large court room, -filled to its ut- most capacity. A young, but evidently successful lawyer, was pleading earnestly for the victim. In this young man I easily recognized Floyd Haws. He seemed as calm as when he gfave rs- ports before the Modern History class, and much more in earnest. The accused was Eugene Miller, who had kicked a football through a window, where it collided with a lady of rather large dimensions. The result was disastrous-to her disposition, at least: But peace was restored when Mr. Haws won the case and Eugene was again free tokick balls, break .windows and encounter indignant ladies. Then I saw a boxing ring surrounded by a cheering audience. I guessed that it must be a heavy weight champion that was sought, for the two who so mercilessly batted 'each other around were very large. The larger of the two finally knocked his opponent down, who, before he could arise, found himself 'weighted down with the two or three hundred pounds' of Harold Soules. When I became conscious of what was going on I found myself cheering. But then, who could help it? Hadn't I always known thatone who so ably defended himself on the tennis court would become some kind of a champion? , ' I Again the scene changed, I was now gazing upon the Mohave Desert Opera Troupe, arrayed in all of its finery for the event of producing nothing less than Carmen.,' I was amazed to see Grace Brock as Carmen. She was stunning, her clark eyes danced and glittered and her beautiful coloring was setoff wonderfully by the bright red flowers in her hair. Robert White was the hand- some Jose whom Carmen influenced to betray his trust and let her escape from prison. His little country sweetheart whom he forgets, in his wild fascination for Carmen was my classmate, Inez Howe. Ceorge Leak made a 'very dashing and thrilling toreadore, while the rest of the famous troupe were unknown to me. And who was that young man 'of goodly stature whom I then beheld? Surely none but Edward Tuttle. He was very excited about something and searched feverishly among the letters upon the desk before him. Then he found the one desired and reading over his shoulder I saw that it notified him that oil stock, of which he held a thousand shares, had jumped from twenty cents a share to fifty dollars. So! His old hobby had become his vocation and he was a real speculator. But who was the stenographer who sat, pegging away on the typewriter in the corner? Edward rushed Page Twenty-Nine over toher- and said something. When she turned to answer I :recognized Ellen Iveson. , C' e c Q u r . - ,Theicoral space' before me became gradually darker, until I was pleased to witness the new Barstow Union Church. It was a 'oeau-I tiful- place, the more beautiful perhaps for its newness. In' fact theg place wasi not yet furnished and the interior decorator CLeta Thompsonl was casting a last -look at her work, and talking' with the minister, whom I recognized as Herbert Gauldin. They seemed very well satisfied and I am sure they had cause to. 1- The- scene slowly faded, while in its place a theater appeared. As the curtain went up I saw a mass of bright green and as I looked,-more closely I distinguished a broad velvet curtain across the back of the stage. In the center stood a number of Hlaldensa alsoin green, posed gracefully. Suddenly they began to dance and came' lightly, toward the audience. The-central figure advanced a little ahead of the others. The whole group seemed to float -in all sorts of -figures. Then they finally stood motionless. I was some- what surprised ,to recognize some of my old-schoolmates. ,There was Clara Bell, the leading' dancer. Gertrude, Elsie, Ruby, Mae, Essie and Grace Toennies made up the chorus. O, my! Who'd have thought it. u . A I y f I ' But not yet was that interesting pagent completed. Never had I-.beheld such a spotless store asnow greeted my eyes. The whole place was in white. Really it was a great improvement over the usual candy store on the Pike, but'I soon saw a good reason- for this-Charles Burden-yes the perfectly ,sane and practical Charles was the proprietor and at the time I gazed into his .place of busi- ness he was terribly interested in a pretty and. very ffchicf' appear- ing young lady, so much so that he was leaning half way over the counter. Iwas so Hflabbergastedw that it was really a relief when the scene changed. ' I c The room was large, and I suppose it would have been consid- ered really something fine by an artist, but to me it just looked like a scrap pile. The walls were covered with canvases, on some of themicould' be distinguished a landscape, a chapel or other scene, while others still held theappearance of a very brilliant conglomer- ation. The only section of the room. that held the least traces of 'order was a small platform'-draped in darkvblue velvet. I had no trouble in recognizing Helen, She was dressed in a simple Grecian costume and stood looking before her. To, the left Bob Greer sat with a large canvas before him. He gazed intently at Helen for a moment and then began to paint. This was a surprise to me, but imagine my amazement when I beheld Doris walking up to a man and in a forceful and business-like way asking him ifhe knew that his fortune lay in real estate, in Barstow. That is what I saw, and she emphasized her argument by displaying a plan of Barstow, and a picture of the main street which was located direct- ly below the B. U. H. S. buildings. ' ' The change took place smoothly and gradually. The scene it- ' . . , .Page Thirty . , S self was very calm and it was no shock to m i ' ' H Lloyd as president of the Santa Fe, when Isrengiqggbleigdnwiicthbsnillili zeal and' seriousness hetook his school work. But no matter that is the position he occupied in ,this wonderful ball of fortune, For I .saw him seated at a desk in a well-furnished office. He was evidently opening the morningmail, for he ,Opened JCQNO 01. three letters addressed to.Mr. Lloyd Johnson, President of the A T KL, S. F. R. R. Co., 'and then turned to his stenographer ,vvhofn knew to be Mildred Bell. r ', I had some difficulty in recognizing the man who .now entered my miniature stage, for he was tall, very tall, andivefy handsome fnot that our H. S. boys,aren't handsome, -but+well-you knowj. He was a college professor about to give a lecture and I guessed that he must be rather important f'fI'OI1'1,th6 effect that he produced on thestudents. He began to speak and still I did-not recognize in him any of my -schoolmatesg butthen he smiled. Why, of course' I knew him! It was Fred Gleason. I glanced- at the students and had about decided that I knew none of them when I saw Lucy Wilson. :She looked very happy .and was veryinterested just then in what Frederick had to say. Q' y - The room which now' -appeared,-before me was such a delight- ful .place that.,I forgot to-..,,wonder. who.was its occupants. It was beautifully. furnished inig ivory, which blended perfectly with the deep rose draperies. In, the center of the room Russell sat. upon a sofa. He gazed critically at Madge who walked back and forth before him. Now and then he-:stopped to readjust or alter' in some way the silvery gown she wore. As a last touch he placed a pip- g111g.fOf old, rose..around.the,-neck. Then Dilla entered. She wore a white satin evening gown which glimmered and shown as she walked. He found nocriticism to.make, so she followed Madge into what I supposed was the sewing room of the establishment. Russell seemed happy, and who would not be when he not only had hosts of pretty ,girls to look upon, but might fashion gowns for every type of beauty ly- 0f course Dilla and Madge found no hard- ships in holding a position where they continually donnedwthe most beautiful of gowns. ' , .The .last picture was' to me the most bea.utiful. It was a rose garden. There were white roses, red roses, yellowuroses-roses of every variety and color. They were so colorful and of such perfec- tion that it seemed as though I could reach down and touch them. I- was anxious to know which of my schoolmates had raised such flowers and had not long to wait for the gate opened and Guy walked in. He went to a bush, and after examining it, he gathered a bouquet. I was about to speak to him when- . Madamoiselle has learned pleasant things of the future! I was somewhat startled, but soon realized that I would see no more of my schoolmates and hastened to answer. '40, yes, butiam I to learn nothing of my future? HMadamoiselle was not thinking of herself, then? Page Thirty-One ' . 'xv' ,p r f No-I-was not.!'i I' i' , A I -F-'Try again, madamoiselleeand remember that the person you think of is the one whom you will be apt to see. - Again I gazed into that ball, and I tried to think of something which concerned 'me, but could only repeat my name to myself. Then I saw ga large auditorium-completely packed with people,- gorgeously -dressed. It must be an 'opera or a concert, I thought. Thegorchestraebegan playing and the talking in the audience ceased. Thenlthe house lights went out. The curtain rose disclosing another of black' velvet. The velvet folds parted and .a young woman of perhaps, twenty-eight years of age stepped -forward. V She was dressed in white, and carried a violin under her arm. As she came to thefront of- the stage she was greeted with a burst of applause which-she smilingly acknowledged with a slight bow. When the applause, subsided she 'lifted the violin to her chin. I watched her fingers- fly over the strings with amazed admiration. Double .stops in the seventh position were nothing to her and thatxwas only the beginning. Iteseemed as .though I heard the wonderful music which such technique mustproduce. But then she stopped and bowed to the audience, looking straight at the people and then at me. Why! It was I, myself! It was my counterpart that stood before that audience! 'But the picture was fading-it was gone! I rose and after paying madam I took my leave, rather dazed, but happy and well n satisfied. , ' 1 I f ,- OX X0 3 I Frank Greer fwho had just forded over a small dog! -Madam! Madam!

' p At the beginning of this term the High School girls under the supervision of Miss McNeese devoted their gymnasium period to folk dancing, but when the weather became cooler they turned their energies to basketball. The last of February Victorville challengedius to play basketball. Everyone hoped the game would takeplace about the first of March, but the 'fflu interfered, so the match was proposed for April 10, 1920. ' The students of the High School furnished five machines, enab- ling all who wished to attend the contest. We started early be- cause Victorville had suggested that the boys' play tennis in the morning, before the wind, which had been blowing for three or four days, should become too severe for playing. The girls' team was entertained for lunch at the Oasis Cafe, then hurried back to the Victorville School to prepare for the game. While we were putting on our suits Joe won a tennis single. The team, consisting of Lily Reeves, captain, Ellen Iveson, Doris Jones, Inez Howe, Grace Brock and Grace Toennies, took their places on the field about half past two. The 'first half resulted in a score of eighteen to two in favor of our opponents, but- during the second half we succeeded in checking them so that they made only ,baskets The final score was twenty-two to two in Victor- 1 e s avor. The Victorville Student Body gave a banquet at six o'clock in Page Thirty-Seven ' lhonorTof'itli'e teams, which was. appreciated by everyone. Then we were ,invited to enJoy the movies given in the High School Audi- torium, 1 4 - , r 'I -'We started home alittle after nine and, with only one blow-out, We arrived' home, tired, but resolved to have another game that we might retrieve ourfailure, on our home court. i ' Saturday, May' 8, the girls .played a match game of indoor baseball with the Victorville girls on our own field. Much excite- mentlaccompanied the game, which was won .by our opponents, although' the Barstow girls did splendidly considering the amount of practice' which they had had. The resulting score was twenty- ,one to twenty-nine. INEZ HOWE. up The. Orchestra '-It wasa--very-pleasant surprise when the High School students learned- at the beginning of the year that they were to have an orchestra. ' During the first year of the school there was a small orc'hestra,..but after that year the organization did not appear again until this term. It was astonishing to see the number of instru- ments that appeared in answer-to the call for musicians for the orchestra. Very few of .the volunteers were able to play well enough at that time to join the orchestra and so lessons were given for the violin, trombone, cornet and drums. Due to the ability and efforts, of our music teacher, Miss Aiken, it was but a short time before a small group was able to form, an orchestra. As time passed the music students made rapid strides and the number in our orchestra gradually' increased until now there are eleven pieces.

The first game was played between the Juniors and Sophomores March eleventh. There was great excitement on each side, as the teams were quite evenly matched. The victory Went to the Juniors, however. The first of the year Victorville challenged us to a game of basketball, and We practiced every day to prepare for it. When Page Thirty-Nine xx ' - V ' . , . We finally had our team- in ' shape, Victorville had to cancel the en- gagement onaccount of the fluffy - i 'AIfI'aHg'9I1f1Q1il3S 'Were then made for a tennis tournament to be helditwol Weeks-later.
