The sun is rising back of the hills to the East and sets off in sharp outline the lines of the Baldwin Hills. To the South and West lies the headland of Palos Verdes still in the soft grey shadows of the morning, and farther west the still dark waters of the Pacific. Almost before I can realize the change, the dark hills to the north have changed to a pale purple, and the tall eucalyptus trees in the glen where the lines of hills dip down stand out clearly in the early morning glow. The meadowlark outside my win- dow is singing a merry tune, and the mocking bird continues the concert which began last evening when I went to bed. Now the whole scene is bright, with sunlight. The road up the hjjf invites me to stroll and see the coun- tryside in the freshness of the morn- ing. Outside my door the sun is now striking full against the east exposure, and I stand here a few moments to enjoy the warmth of the sun and ab- sorb some of the optimism of a bright morning. , There he goes! A rabbit leaps from the long grass of the empty lot next door and goes bounding across the street into the tall grass. My dog, filled with the exhilaration of a new day and forgetting past experience, leaps off in pursuit, but quickly discovers that eleven years of life can scarcely compete w ith young wild life. Panting, she returns to rest at the bottom of the steps. No rabbit can interest her now. Now the sun is bright enough for me to see the silver flash of the ocean. I should like to go down there this morning but I can ' t. I must start to work soon. Here comes the boy who lives next door. He ' s up a little early this morning because he has a new pony, and must ride this morning up the canyon before he goes to school. There he goes bareback, dashing down the hill into the canyon behind the house. I ' d like to do the same. If I had a horse, perhaps I might. What a sight across the canyon! The sunlight falls sharply on the embankment, back of the Whitely house, and brings out into a bright strip of color the lavender flowers that cover the whole back lawn. The flowers in the garden behind my garage seem much brighter this morning. Perhaps that is because there was a strong wind last night that made the air clear and, dry. Those spots of gold over there on the ground are grapefruit that fell off the tree during the wind. Even the goldfish in the fountain pool seem shinier than ever before. The breakfast room invites me with the familiar perfume of coffee. I shall enjoy it more this morning, because I have filled myself with the joy of the fresh morning life. I have had only thirty minutes of this peaceful joy this morning, but if the day brings me only the hardest tasks to perform, I shall be able to meet them more cheerfully. But I know that I shall meet youth at work today and my task will be pleasant. I shall see youth, fine and noble, reflecting the brilliance of the day and expressing the vigor of life. This is a happy thought. Then, too, I know that the moon will shine tonight, and that before I go to bed I shall be able to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of this pleasant spot. After all life is pleasant. Alfred L. Benshimol Principal [14] a mm- If You Love Life ' OU have doubtless seen an old oak whieh woodpeekers had used as a storehouse, — fifty acorns tucked in holes to the square- foot, a treasure hoarded against lean days. Should we not, woodpecker-wise, have a wait- ing stock of books to read, museum corners to explore, artistic skills to acquire, music to learn, hobbies to work at, all sorts of projects to accomplish, so that we are avid for the op- portunity an idle moment offers? If you lovg. life, value time; for time ' s the stuff made of. Amy Lincoln Pteflps Girls ' Vice-Pnnci|(il Even in the Subway . CERTAIN man had a twenty minute ride twice a day on a New York subway. Since there was no scenery to enjoy, he de- cided to utilize this time. During three years ' commuting, he planned for himself and com- pleted a comprehensive reading course — a lib- eral education in itself. In that otherwise dull interlude, he put to use a few minutes daily that otherwise might have been fruitless. However, I wonder whether the example he has set for us in the profitable use of leis- ure moments may not be a suggestion to us. We, too, can budget our time and take ad- vantage of any one of the fascinating hob- bies within retch of everyone.

Real servant, loved master, Rare comrade, sure guide. F, IRED with the true educator ' s zeal and en- thusiasm, the chief aim in the life of William Winters Tritt was to see his hoys and girls go on to college and complete their education. Those friends of Mr. Tritt who knew of his wish are carrying on for him with the help of the William Winters Tritt Memorial Scholar- ship. This Scholarship is a loan of two hundred and fifty dollars, without interest, to some worthy student, who, without this money, would not be able to attend college. Any boy or girl of the Senior A Class is free to make ap- plication to the committee that administers the fund. The committee is selected from Belmont ' s faculty. The personnel of the committee follows: D. Paul Shull, Chairman Marien M. Keyes Albert F. Vandegrift So far the committee has chosen two boys and two girls to receive the award. The beneficiaries of the fund are as follows: Louis Fisher S 3 1 Stanley McNair W ' 32 Jeanne Livingood S ' 32 Ruth Jennings W ' 33 JE v M LlVl coon The fund is replenished by gifts, and by the returns from the Eulexian candy sale. William Winters Tritt had faith m our generation. His kind ot taith is what urges us on. Nothing would have pleased him more than to know that his mem- ory was being kept alive by the growth of fine young people.

The beauty she inspired still lives on: Each flower bespeaks her immortality. Today a daughter bears within her veins The heritage a mother gave to her. And in the child the mother still shall be Triumphant over death; the eye, the joy In service, and the heart of sympathy, — All these shall live, and they who loved her once Shall watch her live again a newer life. But wider in its scope and greater far Than flower or child, behold! there stretches out The limitless expanse of pow ' r her life Has brought to those who listened to her voice And learned the words of wisdom from her lips, Who watched her calmness as she stood for right. Who felt the guidance of her friendly hand, Who saw the vision kindled by her fire, Who measured their own lives by hers and strove To walk the path of duty she had trod. The children of her spirit! They shall bear Her life far out into eternity.

Little have we realized until now that, for the most part, we have nearly completed our school- ing; the moment has come when we are depended upon to go forth and put our education into practice, through which both we and the world as a whole may profit. Entrusted to us who are now ready to assume life ' s obligations is the tradition of carrying on the finest type of American Idealism. Our task seems doubly difficult owing to the present chaotic world- wide condition; and unless we are ably prepared to successfully combat an unyielding barrier, we must fall by the wayside.

It has meant much to us who have accepted it responsibilities, for it ha5 enlarged our perspective and our aspect on life. For those who value friendships it has meant much more, for it has cemented friendships that will continue through the coming years. It has taught us of the rewards of diligence, conscientiousness, and faithful- ness, and to those who have taken them, it has given four, full years of joyous life which can be had by all for just the taking.

We shall pass over the first two years of our life here without more to say than that not all of us idled, as can he proved by our record number of Eulexians, eleven of whom later became mem- bers of the California Seholarship Federation. As Senior FVs we showed the calibe r of our judgment by choosing Mose Fire- stone for President, Doris Ward for Vice-President, Bernice Gardner for Secretary, and William Lovell for Treasurer. We further distinguished ourselves by setting the precedent of having an after-school dance for Senior B ' s. Having already encoun- tered the difficulties of preparing a dance for ourselves, we were able to handle with ease the various situations which are peculiar to the preparation for a Senior Prom. When we became high n ' mighties, the first thing we did to demonstrate to the rest of the school we had not lost our heads by our sudden eminence was to re-elect Mose Firestone as President of our class. The gavel immediately came into use on that momentous question of color. In the glory which only wine and white sweaters can produce we da;;led the eyes of the student body on Sweater Day and finished the day with a dance. The Senior Tea mixed Seniors, faculty, and parents in the proper pro- portions and made just one more happy tie to Belmont. ' Charlie ' s Aunt, the Senior Play, was our next undertaking, and to prove our talents were diverse, a poster contest for the advertisement of the play was held. The play was successful in both furnishing enjoyment to the student body and providing additional funds.

We, the summer class of 193 3, entered these portals on a beautiful day in September, three long years ago. After two years of varied experience, having the deepest effect upon our lives, evolving through the various stages in our development which corresponded with our sophomore and junior years, we emerged to the full appreciation of our efforts, the crown of our labors — Our last and glorious Senior year. Leaders cropped out, as leaders always will, ours being the incomparable Atkinson, the persuasive Hoag, and the redoubtable Sharp. With these, gaming excellence as we progressed, we staged the traditional fete, the long awaited Senior Prom. Although it rained (rain from then on becoming the eternal bugaboo of the Seniors, happening invariably at each important event) needless to say it was most successful. . . . There is an interlude of comparative quietness and, then with the dawning of those last, few, sublime months as majestic Senior Ayes, came repeated flashes, each greater and more brilliant than the last, denoting the activities of Us, the Senior Ayes. With our new leaders, the inimitable Brook, and the illustrious Most and retaining the incomparable Atkinson, we climbed to greater heights. The Senior Tea was pronounced the successful of its kind ever enjoyed at Belmont, and our Sweater Day program the unique, the sweaters rivalling the Sun in brilliance. Our dance, for whii] Bees acted as sponsors, left nothing to be desired, and the Senior Plaj undertakings, most successful. . . . Graduation neared . . . Came we were more grave.

WHEN Iff FKfPL LITERARY WED Belmont ' s Tenth Anniversary SENSE of real pride came over Belmont as she realized that the year nine- teen-hundred and thirty-three marked her tenth birthday. Her first thought was to glance about her and enumerate not only her own many and vast accomplishments, but those of her children as well. Her joy was tinted, at first, with a feeling of sadness that she couldn ' t suppress, for several of her very dearest and closest friends and children had been taken not just from her, but from all on this sphere. The first principal, who had done a great deal in encouraging little Belmont, and in causing her to grow and climb, was gone now; and four of her loyal teacher- friends were also called away. She felt sure that, although these and several others of her loving children had passed away, she would always remain as dear to them as they were to her. Her sorrow faded gradually as she remembered that she had given to the Ephe- bian Society not only a large number of members, but an unusually fine group in this past decade; for a Belmont Ephebian now held the presidency, and the Torch, their publication, was edited by a Hilltopper. And you may be sure that it caused this proud mother no end of pleasure to reminisce over the fact that out of her 2,694 graduates, 10 had earned the degree of Phi Beta Kappa, while the California Scholar- ship Federation claimed 181 Belmont members. Again a little blush of pride came to our heroine as she chuckled to herself. The other schools ought to be ashamed of themselves, permitting their athletes to be de- feated by a ten-year-old! she remarked. Yes, her rivals had received a great many surprises during these ten short years, as they had been forced to watch her climb, step by step, to the top of the ladder in athletics. Why, in 1926 she had won the Minor League football championship, then a school just three years old! And, in 1930, the baseball trophy became another occupant of her trophy case, now a gleam- ing shrine of honors, each one of which she is justly proud. Marjorie Ruess An Objection Answered OT many years ago schools were primarily institutions in which skill in the three , could be obtained All social activities were carried on outside of the school by the same group that met for academic studies only. So in the community, any activity affected every person. But, with the growth of cities, this community has spread into such a size as makes it impossible for every individual to know every other. If it were not for the schools, a person would be isolated from any companionship beyond that of his nearest neighbors. Therefore, at school the needs which the picnics and Satur- day afternoon clubs of yesterday answered are met today by the school societies and clubs, thus creating friendships that would never be, if clubs were abandoned as frills in our school system. Any concentrated effort carried on by combinations at school inevitably creates an atmosphere of eagerness and vivid interest in school life. It allows one to differ- entiate between many types of groups and societies. When a standard of conduct and attitude is established, unseen yet felt, organizations assume a different aspect, for now a goal is set up, and an end to be accomplished. Consequently, the means which they employ are more elevated in nature, and unavoidably beneficial. With the progress of the centuries, along with science and invention, school life has come to be recognized as an essential part of advancement, for it has developed into a marvelous period of life, a period that ascertains a new generation ' s success at solving an ancient problem. Roberta Fisher. [SO] The Literary Contest GI t HE general theme of the Campanile offered particularly wide and varied possi- bilities for contributors to the annual literary contest. The innovation of including a Sonnet Section with the regular literary material was suggested by the interest shown in some of the English classes in sonnet writing. As in former contests, a great deal of interest was shown, and the abundant material was excellent. With the award of tour complimentary Campaniles to the winners of the contest, and the pub- lication of other good manuscripts, the judges feel that the literary section well repre- sents the best creative ability of the school.

Kellogg Burnham [81] The Reincarnation of Mrs. Jenkins P, ROFESSOR BISBEE was not a madman. He was an eminent Egyptologist, the Cairo secretary to the British Archaeologic Association. He had no desire to spend his old age in an asylum for the feeble-minded. Yet he knew that if he continued answering the correspondence piled in every corner of his office, he would suffer mental collapse. Letters, thick letters, thin letters, grimy letters, grubby letters, letters from every portion of the earth, lay stacked on the desk beside him. And the stacks grew higher daily. He cursed himself. It all happened on account of the article he wrote on exca- vating the tomb of Rhampsinitus II. Why will people write articles? The prize fools of five continents were now deluging him with mail. For three days he had been com- posing replies. Although he had vastly increased his knowledge of human asininity, he felt irritated. His professorial equilibrium was in danger of being disturbed. Once more he attacked the letters. I ' ll answer a few more, he assured himself, and burn the rest. In reality, he was too conscientious to do anything so rash. Tear- ing open a thin, white envelope, he skimmed through its contents. Pasadena, Calif. To Professor Bisbee The Cairo Museum Cairo, Egypt. Dear Professor: I was reading the Pictorial last week when I discovered your article and photographs of Rhampsinitus ' excavated tomb. I experienced peculiar sensations. As if suddenly a veil fell off my eyes. The chairs, the couches, the vases, the jewels ... all became strangely familiar. Seeing these objects, I at once recalled a previous existence, a life I had led among them several thousands of years ago. Didn ' t this ornamented chair stand in the Pharoah ' s re- ception chamber? Didn ' t these jeweled bracelets decorate my arms once? Were not these craven idols my gods? And didn ' t I pray to them? Yes, Professor, my memory could not deceive me. As I examined the photographs and carefully read your article, cold chills ran up and down my spine. In the pictures I recognized my furniture; in your history I discovered my private life! I knew my soul in its many wander- ings once found rest at the court of Rhampsinitus II. When I saw the amethyst bracelets and the golden footstool, everything was clear. With these very bracelets did the mighty Pharoah ornament me! Kneeling down on the golden footstool before me, he called me his favorite wife! He, the great Rhampsinitus himself! Dear Professor, I won ' t reprove you for opening my husband ' s tomb. I won ' t scold you for disturbing his four thousand-year rest. However, I think I ' m justified in claiming a few souvenirs from my former life. So, send me the amethyst bracelets and the golden footstool. The rest of my belongings I willingly donate you for your investigations. Thanking you in advance, Mrs. Hiram Q. Jenkins, formerly the wife of Rhampsinitus. Professor Bisbee felt pleasantly surprised. So, he was going to correspond with a former wife of his friend, Rhampsinitus, th e Second. He was almost inspired as he began his answer. Cairo, Egypt. Mrs. Hiram Q. Jenkins, Pasadena, Calif. O Divine Strain of the Pharoahs: May Osiris, the gracious god of resurrection, and Hathor. the noble cow-goddess, pour their varied benedictions on you freely. Your words have touched me deeply. Your humblest [82] and most insignificant servant is grateful for the privilege of replying to you. It is a singular accident, hut Ptah the Omniscient, has so arranged circumstances that I, the fat little Professor Bisbee who has read your letter, should also have spent one of my happy lives at the court of the great Rhampsinitus II. Grant me. therefore, the boon of becoming reminiscent a little while. Do you still remember, O gracious Queen, the black-skinned, wooly-haircd, gluttonous Little court jeweler, Bulin? This pig Bulin was I! In your chambers at the imperial palace how often had I the fortune to lay my jewels before your feet, my diamonds, whose radiance faded before your beauty as fade the stars before dawn! And do you remember my obscure little bazaar behind the Sacred Bulles of the Temple of Aseret? How fond you were of honoring it with your divine presence! Pardon a miserable slave for reminding you of these visits. You used to buy jewels from me. And now. O Queen, just a little reminder. A small roll of papyrus found in the excavated sarcophagus bears me witness. You forgot to pay me for the jewels. The sum to you means nothing; to me it is a fortune. I don ' t mention the interest which has accumulated on your initial account. I only desire to return you the serenity of conscience which has evidently been eluding you. Therefore, I am sending you the itemized, trans-computed bill for $375,000. As soon as received, this amount will be crossed off the papyrus which is to go on exhibition at the Cairo Museum next month. May Osiris and Hathor be with you! Thanking you in advance, Professor Bisbee, formerly your slave, Bulin. Professor Bisbee wiped his glasses and reached for another letter. — Radine Hoag Mountain-Climbing J. HERE is something very exhilarating about mountain-climbing. The trail may be difficult, the pack heavy, and the mosquitoes unbearable, but when you reach the top, there is a feeling of satisfaction like no other feeling on earth. I am not one of your confirmed mountain-climbers, who races up and down again, intent only on the time he has made the trip in; I confess I climb merely for the joy of it. I have a theory that mountain-climbing brings out the best and the worst in one. For instance, on one of our hikes more traits of character were revealed than I had imagined existed. One member, a rather severe unmarried lady, had the best time of it. She was the one who didn ' t complain overly of the mosquitoes; she earned another ' s pack when he was tired, and she didn ' t scream when a rat ' s nest was found in one of the cupboards of the ranger ' s cabin where we stayed. We had hesitated about taking one of the men, who was an intolerable teaser. However, we decided the ardors of the trip would make him sensible; but he persisted in his teasing. He put mud in the frying-pan, when the water to wash it had to be carried fifty yards up a steep hill. Another of the party, a girl, became soulful and poetic, wandering off down the mountainside when dishes were to be done or cots to be made. These incidents illustrate what I mean about character, but don ' t climb moun- tains merely in order to know your friends better; that is a false object. Have you ever experienced that awful feeling when you stood on the edge of some dizzy abyss and looked down, fascinated, into blue-purple depths; do you remem- ber emerging from cool greenery to bare, sunlit summits, or waking early, and seeing the clouds below you, concealing all but the summits of lesser peaks which rise like islands from the sea? That quiet world above the timberline and clouds is moving in its beauty, and cares and calendars have no place in your knapsack, which is heavy enough without them. Elizabeth McElroy. [83] EBB Two Idylls _E HAD always liked the dimness there better than the brightly lighted house, and that summer evening, after he had brought the cows in from pasture, he went into the barn, and it held him there. Above him from the high, cobwebby rafters he heard the soft flutterings of drowsy wings, and around him shy rustlings and cracklings of the high-piled hay. The horse blew softly and stomped his hoof, his chain rasping with a rattle against the stall. Sweetness, and stillness, and warmth were borne upon him by the wind that blew across from the alfalfa fields and the tules of the river — so heavy with sweet smells that it passed over his upturned face as slowly and softly as trailing fingertips. He stepped to the threshold and planted his bare feet firmly on the splintery planks. Outside, the cottonwoods whose trunks stood deep in the cool grass that lined the sides of the ditch seemed to look at him like two solemn, ancient men, sedately nodding, and whispering, and pointing. The silent world surrounded him, black and deep; but filled with a peace and comfortable beauty that found an answer in his own heart — for deep within him was an indescribable feeling that almost overflowed to make him a part of the loveliness of the night. As he stood there, from beyond the limits of the fields of the farm, there came a bird through the dark; he could not see it but he heard its whistling feathers as it plunged past him and he heard its wild, long, sea-bird ' s scream. Forward, and on through the night it flew; its cry piercing the heaviness like a single arrow of silver. . . And suddenly — he knew not why — he found himself weeping. Betty Hazzard. T IS a grey evening, lingering. I lean on the old banister; it creaks with a loose board. The night air breathes fresh and damp and cool. The gray, smooth-barked fig trees branch out of the shadows of the arbor. Lantana covers the tool shed in black clumps. Shrubbery relieves the bulging back fence. The big, black walnut stencils the blackish- blue sky with sharp, barren twigs and limbs. Between the garage and chicken coop, the lonesome loquat tree! Sprawling, individualistic eucalypti, up the alley, splotch the faultless sky with pleasing drabs of black. The vacant lot, with weed-grassed hillocks, is rounded and smoothed by the shadows from a street lamp. The calm, self-important life of a city back-yard sleeps. I look out beyond my favorite black walnut and out to the reddish, smoky pall on the city. Harsh red neons flash on and off, on and off, silently, monot- onously. Dead, lifeless steel-ribbed business rears up mute and stiff and high — white stone sides perforated by even rows of uninteresting black windows. City buildings rear up clean and fresh. The Scyllean city rises pompously with marble sides out of the deceiving darkness. For I have coughed in the smoky streets — 1 know the city: the dirty loudness of the blatant plaza — weary streets — the glaring Paris Cafe — load- ing box-cars in the sultry laziness of the rail-yards — soup kitchens — a squalid pop- corn man pouring a pot of diluted molasses — packing-house stenches — an old man and woman, scavengers for a head of cabbage or soft berries in the garbage behind the market — Main street burlesque — vice, criminals, harassing law-suits. The noisy, reck- ing city sleeps. I slowly enumerate the still, calm, back-yard, shadowed and clean: — this sprawl- ing tree; this soft, grassy hillock; the friendly alley. But restless, I look again, deter- mined, into the square-blocked city. Justin Atkinson. [84] EEB- Walden By Henry David Thoreau A Review HAVE just finished reading one of the most interesting books that I have ever read -namely, ' Walden, by Henry David Thoreau. Its sincerity, serenity, and pe acefulness give to the reader a rich and inexpressible peace and joy. In Bent Twig , by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Sylvia Marshall for a brief time was in doubt whether there were men who had as high ideals and were as sincere as women. If she had found an answer to her problem then, she might have had one later had she read this wholesome account of Henry David Thoreau, written during his two years ' stay at Walden Pond. Henry David Thoreau believed that to be a true philosopher was not only to have profound thoughts, and to found a school, but to love wisdom and to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust, and to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically. He loved nature and mankind, and did not have contempt for society, but loved individual men, disliking the artificial make-believes of modern society. He believed that if one has dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he has achieved success. He went to Walden Pond to simplify his life, and to prove by this experiment that the laws of the universe would appear less complex. Near the end of March, 184 ' i, he borrowed an axe and went down to the woods by Walden Pond, nearest to where he intended to build his house, and cut down some white pines for timber. Taking his time in constructing and completing the house, by July he began to occupy it. He felt that there was some of the same fitness in man ' s building his own home as there was in the birds ' building their own nests, and who knew but that if men built their homes with their own hands, and provided their food honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be developed universally, for birds always sing when they are building their nests. He lived so simply that his expenditures from July 4 to March 1 were $61.99: $8.74 for food; house, farm one year, clothing eight months, oil, etc., eight months — $53.25. How many of us could live this simply, I wonder? Here is a description of his house: This was an airy and unplastered cabin, fit to entertain a traveling god, and where a goddess might trail her garments. The winds which passed over my dwelling were such as sweep over the ridges of mountains, bearing the broken strains, or celestial parts only, or terrestrial music. The morning wind forever blows, the poem of creation is uninterrupted; but few are the ears that hear it. Olympus is but the outside of the earth everywhere. He occupied his time in the morning by working in his bean-field, in the afternoon by either swimming or strolling through the woods, and at night by studying. He had a long acquaintance with his bean-field, in which he cultivated, planted, hoed, harvested, threshed, and sold the beans. He became intimate with them, killing their enemies, and enlisting the aid of the dews and rain. If any one deed of Thoreau ' s would point to his tenderness, it would be his patient care of his bean-field. One of the most interesting chapters in Walden is Reading . Here he deals with the classics. He says that to read true books in a true spirit is a noble exercise . He considered reading the ancient classics in the language in which they were written the only true way of becoming acquainted with the old wise men. He thought that [85] HB having learned the alphabet, we should read the best in literature, not being content with easy reading , for how many a man has begun a new period in his life from the reading of a book? The chapter that held the most significance for me, and which I valued most was Solitude . Some of Thoreau ' s pleasantest hours were those spent during the long rain-storms in the spring or fall, when he was compelled to stay in the house, and allow thoughts to take root and unfold themselves . He emphasises that nearest to all things is that power which fashions their being. Next to us the grandest laws are continually being executed. Next to us is not the workman whom we have hired with whom we love so well to talk, but the workman whose work we are. Thoreau loved to be alone, and never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. For him solitude was not measured by the miles of space intervening between a man and his fellows, for a man thinking of working is always alone, no matter where he is. Thoreau was no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house. Thoreau left the woods because he felt that he had several more lives to live, and could not spend any more time on this one. He observes how remarkable it is how easily we fall into a rut , and make a beaten track for ourselves. He remarked that he had not lived there a week before his feet had beaten a pathway from his door. From this he concludes that if the surface of the earth is so impressible and soft, the paths which the mind travels must be worn and dusty from the ruts of tradition and conformity. What we call common sense is really the sense of men asleep, and is our dullest perception. In his conclusion he says also that some people keep impressing upon us that we Americans, and moderns generally, are intellectual dwarfs when com- pared with the ancients or even the Elizabethans. But what is that to the purpose, for is not a living dog better than a dead lion? Let every one mind his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made. He wants people to meet and live their lives, no matter how mean it is, and not scorn it and call it hard names. His reference to wealth was as follows: Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. In conclusion, Henry David Thoreau says: The life in us is like the water in the river. It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats. It was not always dry land where we dwell ... I do not say that John or Jonathan will realize all this; but such is the character of that morrow which mere lapse of time can never make to dawn. The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star. Henry David Thoreau is a brilliant combination of Benjamin Franklin, with his practical nature, Huxley with his scientific mind, and Tennyson, with his high ideals and ingenious style of writing. As I have felt when attempting before to write a book report, how handicapped a high school girl is when she attempts to write a review of such a book as Walden , by such an author. The only way a person can really appreciate a book is not by reading a mere review of it, but by reading the book itself. The best a reviewer can do is to write down only the finest points of the book, thereby leaving out half of the rich qualities, which the reviewer has had full benefit of. Roberta Fisher. [86] HE A New Tone in Horn-Blowing JLc)ALLOON blowing, French shoemakers, late sleepers, climbing church steeples, and musical barbers all contribute to the creation of a new tone in trumpet-playing. Music is one of the most enjoyable, valuable and practical of avocations. However, there is an accompaniment to trumpet-playing, other than musical, which adds diversified and interesting experiences to a possible monotone. The conscientious cornetist is a helpless victim in the controversy of the gods. The struggle between Gabriel and Morpheus never ends. Immediately Gabriel ' s neophyte-protege, having exercised early morning diligence, is bewildered by gentle hints, tactful pleas, and impatient outbursts. Even when fairly accomplished, the lip-and-lung artist cannot go to a camp in the mountains and escape the recipiency of camp-bugler. Girt in pajamas, he flings aside the warm covers and dashes into the chilly mountain air, frightening the questioning squirrels, to arouse from sleep the disgruntled gang. And then at night, with the air colder and sharper, having nursed the cherished instrument free from icicles with a hot-water bottle, taps quiets the evening atmosphere. It is most gratifying indeed to be recognized as a possessor of exceptional hot-air capacities and therefore to be accorded the uplifting occupation of inflating balloons for the Senior Prom, until dizzy in the head. It is truly great fun to climb church steeples on Christmas Eve to play Christmas carols in trumpet quartets. Wrapped in mufflers and overcoats, and armed with flashlights, having usurped the tower-roost from all objecting pigeons, the Yuletide trumpeter gains quite a thrill in filling the air with Christmas carols. As a means of gaining interesting contact with other people in interesting con- versation, the trumpet is unexcelled. Oh budding trumpeters, be not frightened at every sleepy, bath-robed figure which approaches your resounding door early of a Sunday morning. It may be just a French shoemaker coming to invite you to come over some evening to play with him. Trombonists are always eager to warm up the old instrument, especially if they are of the circus-band type, such as our French shoemaker. Moreover, it is an interesting coincidence that two of my extemporaneous friends should be barbers. One, a trombonist, was a reticent type of fellow, corpu- lent and wheezy. His contact was a bit disappointing, but after his 25c shop had closed, my next barber more than redeemed the tonsorial profession ' s musical reputa ' tion. I was unaware of his musical tendencies until one day I carried my trumpet into the shop. Immediately the well-rounded, white-haired, jovial gentleman, who had always showed a desire for an enlivening conversation, started a truly interesting musical autobiography, which lasted throughout the haircut, and which assured me of extra personal care in the procedure and in those to come. An orphan at sixteen, this interesting character bought a bass trombone from Montgomery Ward Company and prepared to conquer the world. He showed natural talent and gained rapidly until he was recognized by a man of influence in his home town in Ohio and by this backing gained a place in a circus band. Thence he developed into an accomplished artist on trombone and baritone. He was associated with such organizations as Bar- num and Bailey and with Ringling Bros. He talked with intimate recollection of the highest in band circles, such as L.iretto and Brooks. Intermingled with the snips of the scissors, the discourse continued into a tirade against the deterioration of music and of bands and orchestras, and the resulting desertion of the band ranks on his part. [87] My nose had been itching ever since he had reached the greatest point of enthusiasm, due to the barber ' s neglect to remove the tickling hairs. I attempted contortions of the face and gained a mouthful. Then I was possessed of a most practical idea. My first teacher, in my first lesson had directed me to gain my first tone by using my tongue as if I were trying to get a hair off the roof of my mouth. And so, there in the barber shop I actually performed for the first time my first lesson in trumpeting. It worked. Justin Atkinson. Reminiscence JM EVER could I understand how anyone could dislike ram. Haven ' t you ever noticed how entrancing a rainy town looks, with all the lights being reflected on shiny streets and glistening umbrellas? Have you always hurried home to get in out of the rain, and have you never leisurely made your way down a brightly lighted, rainy street, glancing in at the gay windows, enjoying the cool dampness on your face? Just as I left school the other day, it began to thunder, the lightning flashed, and great drops of water fell rapidly. I was delighted. One of the girls had a car and offered to take me home, but since there were already five girls in the car and I hadn ' t far to go, I decided to walk. They informed me at once how foolish I was. Was I crazy? I ' d get pneumonia! Just as I got well started the heavens roared a terrible blast, sending delightful little tremors up and down my spine. The rain fell fast and furiously, drenching me. As I walked, the water oozed out of my shoes, and my stockings became quite a different color. About a block from the house it began to hail; I tried to capture some of the elusive element, but failed. After prolonging the journey as much as possible (which included my going around to the back door), I finally arrived home, my books a little the worse for the experience, my coat soaked through, and water dripping from my hair and nose and chin as from eaves. The subject of rain takes me back to the country, where I spent a part of my childhood. When I was ten years old and first went to the farm, it is reported that, when sent to call the men to supper, I stood solemnly and permitted the rain to drench me, turning deaf ears to repeated callings from the bathroom window, whence our summons always issued. I was not infrequently accused of not having enough sense to come in out of the rain. At school on rainy days the rubbery, damp smell in the halls and rooms I shall always remember. In the little four-room country grammar school which I attended, rainy days were especially delightful — the damp smell and that of rubber and leather drying under and around the pot-bellied stove that stood in the corner. If we became particularly moist, we were allowed to sit next to the fire and put our feet on or under the stove. Also, on such days we had rainy-day session , which meant that we had no recesses and were allowed to go home early. I usually took the longest way home. I felt so joyous coming down the hill, feeling the moistness on my face, noticing how happy the flowers looked and how grateful the trees seemed for their bath as they stood tall and straight, their lovely, glistening leaves rustling gently, telling us how glad they were. Then there was the wood to bring in from the garage for the evening, the milk [88] HE- to heat for the calf, a wet and bedraggled baby rabbit or chicken to nurse under the stow, and supper at 5:30. Grandfather usually spent the evening keeping books; Grandmother washing dishes and milk things : Allen, the hired boy, studying; and I writing long and elaborate Christmas lists, including all the members of the large families of both my parents, extending even to fourth step-cousins and great half- uncles. At 8:00 the family retired, having ceremoniously hooked the back screen, locked the front door, and wound the clock. How I hated to undress in the cold of the bedroom. Sometimes I would creep into the kitchen to warm my gown — and find Grandmother there, warming hers. Once in bed, I would curl up in as tight a ball as I could and listen to the rain beat steadily on the roof and windows or pretend to be dreadfully frightened at the thunder and lightning and howling wind, whistling weirdly about the buildings. And when sometimes a cow would set up a fuss and Grandfather would be obliged to get dressed and go out to see what was the matter, I would promptly slip noiselessly into Grand- mother ' s room and crawl into bed beside her until Grandfather returned. And then — how much colder the sheets! The rainy days when there was no school I liked best, on Saturdays and during Christmas vacation; or sometimes when the roads were too washed-out for the old, rickety bus to make it up to the canyon, or the water was turned off or so muddy we couldn ' t drink it, school would be closed. In the mornings Grandmother and I would bake or I would wade around in the wet sand and think I was helping the men care for the rabbits and other animals and the fowls. In the afternoons Grandfather usually read his Christian Endeavor con- tinued story, sitting with his feet on the dining-room stove, around and under which were arrayed a great variety of shoes and coats and hats and caps and sweaters, while Grandmother energetically ironed great stacks of clothes. Perhaps a little neighbor girl would come over, and she and I would litter up the dining-room with paper dolls, puzzles, dominoes, kewpie houses and valentines, which I never tired of making. Or Allen, who was older than I, would condescend to play his electric train with me and we ' d make the most interesting tunnels and hills which used up so much power that the engine would move ever so slowly and laboriously and Grandmother ' s iron begin to cool. About 4:00 Grandfather and Allen would bundle up in sweaters and scarves and caps and gloves and stiff, dried-out shoes and depart for the evening chores. Grandmother would put away the ironing and get supper, and I ' d practice oh, so laboriously, drinking glass upon glass of muddy water and becoming repeatedly con- vinced that the clock had stopped. And in the evenings Grandmother would pop a great dishpan full of popcorn and we ' d all sit around the stove reading, resting our feet on the stove till the leather of the shoes or slippers sometimes became scorched, eating the juiciest apples and the largest, fleeciest kernels of popcorn, stained yellow with Grandmother ' s home-made butter. And on such occasions, we ' d sometimes sit up till 8:30 or maybe even 9:00! That was the life! Winifred Pelley. [89] MB- The Gentle Art of Mechanics Wo ARLY one Saturday afternoon I hurried to a friend ' s house in response to a rather mysterious phone call. Upon arriving at the house I found that I was to be a third in an afternoon of working upon an old Chevrolet, to prepare it for a date that night. Sitting down upon the running board, we three amateur mechanics discussed the minimum of repairs needed. It was finally decided that all con rods and main bear- ings were to be taken up, the windshield washed, car cleaned, and the front bumper tied up at a more secure angle. This decided, we all got into our own idea of what should be worn while working upon cars. Being appropriately dressed, we sat down again to discuss what each of us should do. At once I volunteered to wash the wind- shield. The value of this suggestion was immediately discounted, and I was elected to work below; that is, taking the pan off and fixing the bearings. I took the pan off without too much trouble and surveyed the bearings with a thoroughly weary expression. In the meantime Kenyon and Major, my companion mechanics, had been unaccountably quiet, a state which, in my intense concentration, I had not noticed. Upon popping my head out from ' neath the car, I saw them, to my great disgust, lying in the driveway sleeping. After throwing numerous wrenches and other heavy objects, I got the attention of Major. He came over and we discussed the amount of shims to be taken out of the middle bearing. After much grave dis- cussion, we compromised upon two shims. By the time we had finished, we had taken six shims out, a job in which the bearing had to be loosened, taken off, and re-tightened. Thoroughly arm weary and finally through, I crawled out from below and told Major to work. As soon as I was comfortably settled alongside the sleeping Kenyon, I was called upon in no uncertain terms, to return the wrenches that I had previously thrown into the driveway. After this interruption I was left alone until the time came to clean the lines to the oil pump. At this point Kenyon was awakened to blow through the oil lines at the top; I was at the bottom, beneath the car. Kenyon being warned to blow easily, I lay beneath the lines without a care in the world. My first intima- tion that all was not well was caused by a gentle drip, drip of oil upon my left eye- brow. At this warning, I looked up to receive the full effects of a small plug of waste and then a steady stream of oil that had the uncanny facility of spraying upon me whichever way I moved. Kenyon and Major were finally awakened to action by scathing denunciations, and they stopped the deluge. After this episode, I retired from the scene of battle temporarily, only to be recalled to assist in putting on the four last, but hardest, pan bolts. These bolts were to be compared in inaccessability only with the noted fourth con rod upon a Model T Ford. They had to be put in their respective holes only through a most delicate and intricate manipulation of a screw driver. Upon the end of the screw driver the screw was carefully balanced and stabbed toward its hole. Usually the screw fell off just as we intended to start the stabbing motion. Finally, by dint of much effort, vivid language, and various sticky fluids to hold the screws in place, they were bolted in. Now all mechanical work was done, leaving only those improvements needed to satisfy the aesthetic taste of the owner and friends. With the windshield washed and blankets draped over the upholstering, we were ready to discuss the problem of wash- ing the car. After much time had been passed in argument, it was decided that it would be much simpler to paint the car. We invested in a can of very cheap, quick- drying lacquer, and painted out the dirt. This ended our work, leaving us very tired and dirty, but inordinately proud of our handiwork — a car eminently suitable for any date . — Marvin Schutz. [90] HE- On the Idle Hills of Summer I T WAS one of those exceptionally warm days in June, the kind of day that makes one dreamy, and irresponsible. The air was lifeless. There was no breeze to stir the willows that clustered about the creek in the pasture. There I sat, scarcely stirring any more than the occasional breeze. I was sitting on a rock near the wheat field fence. The creek lay between me and the farmhouse. What a panorama lay before me! My eyes swept the view before me. First they saw a murky creek winding crookedly as a snake might crawl around rocks in a rocky field. Then they roved over a stretch of pasture separating the road from the creek. Nearly a dozen cows were grazing about the water ' s edge. A wagon was plodding down the road, leaving a tiny patch of dust in its wake. Over there in the back yard of the farmyard, a door opened and my mother emerged. A silvery flash told me that she had just emptied the dish pan. The wheel in the old windmill stirred slightly, and creaked with that peculiar, uncanny creak that only a windmill possesses; a sort of sighing, scraping creak of galvanized iron straining at its foundation. A few chickens were wandering about. Maybe they would strike an occasional daring worm, and fight for it. The old red barn was fat with fresh hay. In fact the hay was protruding from the big door in the hay mow. There was a little patch of hay at the base of the barn directly under the door. It was probably full of eggs by now. Beyond the grainery and machine shed, the horizon was dimmed by a haze that was characteristic of the hot weather. A few outlying forms could be seen also, but these were very faint, because of the haze. And the peculiar thing about it, there wasn ' t a human being in sight. I commenced dreaming of the city life, wondering what those poor shut-up crea- tures could like about their old cities. They could have them! This was good enough for me. No steaming asphalt; no noisy streets to awake me at all hours of the night; and no stench from the exhaust of automobiles. Nothing but a peaceful country life. I had great times out there — me and my dog , as I termed it. We all called him Tippie . I guess that was for the white tip on the end of his tail. He was a wonderful cow dog. At the moment, he was smelling out bugs from the rocks and stumps. I glanced off towards the Southwest, and I saw two teams of horses, each followed by a man, come over the hill. That meant that it was four o ' clock, and time for me to get back to the barn. I still had to take in the cows. As Tippie and I crossed the creek the two men, my dad and the hired man, were almost at the barn. Sic ' em Tipp! I cried. We have to step on it. Go get Molly over there! That ' s it! And so we went into the cow lane and then into the barnyard. We would do chores , and another day on the farm would be over. Another day whiled away in the happiest section of country I can think of. That is but a little picture of the real life on a farm. I know, because I lived on one for fourteen years. This was one of the days that I remember now while I am in the city. Oh, for the idle hills of summer, dreaming of the future and the past. Tom Thatcher. [91] I The Forgotten People N the mountains there are still a few California Indians, very poor, who live in crude shanties, not high enough to stand up in. In winter, when snow covers the mountains, bitter winds invade their poor dwellings, cutting into them like sharp knives. The very scarcity of food, warm blankets, and clothing would seem to leave any but the stoical Indian entirely devoid of any warm feeling for life or humanity. Yet this part of a pitiful remnant of a great race go on weaving their baskets and doing gratefully any odd jobs they are given. They do not seek the rush and tumult of our cities, for they still remember the bird ' s song, the sound of great trees swaying in the breeze, and the melody of bub- bling mountain springs. All day an Indian woman will sit cross-legged weaving her baskets. With her skilled hands she weaves her thoughts into them; they are her poetry, and the designs her musical words. Time has assuaged the gutteral sounds and the savagery that are the legend of the Indian, leaving gentler, finer sensibilities. Confronted with grief their feelings are true and courageous. I can remember one time when Tom, an Indian, whom with his wife Rosalie we knew when we lived in the mountains, came to our door early one morning and announced that Rosalie ' s mother was dead, and asked if we would come. There was a drizzling rain, and as we reached their hut, I could see many relatives and friends who had come from miles around in the pouring rain on horseback to show their grief for the old woman, and their loyalty to one of their own. I have often wondered how they knew so quickly. The simple ceremony of nailing up the coffin was performed and it was ready for its journey to a distant reservation for burial. There was no weeping, yet the sweet, sad feeling of true grief was in the air. Their very calmness made it a natural affair in tune with nature. And I can still see the rickety wagon containing the coffin rumble away over the hill, accompanied by the loyal little band of vigilant followers. And an- other of the forgotten people was laid to rest. Doris Faught. GI, A Miracle of the Desert .HIS is the desert — silent, sinister, where day follows night, night follows day, and there is nothing to lift the loneliness of those bare, bleached miles. No brood- ing shadows of old oaks, no rustling patches of waving grass; nothing breaks the gaunt, gray outline of rock against sand. But even in the desert there are miracles. For yesterday at twilight, the sands stretched a futile barrier across the empty horizon as far as the eye could see. To- night there are lovely, silver wands softening the bleakness, the yucca, in bloom. To me, it seemed impossible that these miracles should spring from such a grudging earth. Yet there they are, tall shafts, growing from tufts of fresh green blades, crowned with ivory bells. As I watched the waxy whiteness of the blossoms melting into the ashy violet of the evening sky, I thought of the deep and under- standing name that the Latins gave them, Candles of the Lord . Life, too, is like the desert, with a grim sky and seared earth. And life, too, has a miracle, many miracles, which people in their despair have overlooked. The miracle of faith, of courage, of love, all rising like white wands from the grudging earth, keeping silent vigil. They, too, are candles of the Lord, towering above the desolate wastes; tall candles that neither pain nor poverty can extinguish. For they are great candles of the Lord — miracles of the desert — burning through the night. Ruth Klein. t 92 ] Contemplation I ' M TIRED of reading, of walking, of entertaining friends, of doing homework or any other of the numerous things which mark my everyday life. It ' s a warm after- noon and I am alone at home in a comfortable chair near the window. I lie hack and watch the dog across the street walk slowly down to the corner and then come slowly back to walk discontentedly across the lawn and go around the house to the back, looking for his young master and playfellows, who are probably at the beach swimming. Here is a setting for something which I believe is quite rare and needs an atmos- phere like this to cultivate it; a good half hour or an hour of solitary thinking, of reverie. Time just to sit and think of things I usually never have time for otherwise; problems or thoughts that I want to explore. Having just finished a book recom- mended to me by a choice friend, I go over the plot and ideas and think them out, finding delight in what I obtain. Then one small point strikes me and this leads to another which is so striking that it surprises and puzzles me; finally I abandon it and mark it too deep only to pick it up again and compare it with other thoughts. The book is worthwhile because it has made me think and has led to original thoughts. The dog across the street comes slowly back down the path to the lawn. He scratches himself and stretches, then goes slowly up onto the porch of the house and into a shady spot where he stretches out and dozes, every once in a while flicking off a bothersome fly. I watch him, my eyes half closed, and my mind wanders to dogs and then to animals in general. One thought leads to another and my mind wanders on and off that subject. Then my mind is idle and I gaze lazily at the beautiful, serene blue sky above. Why is it so blue and far away, and who is the Divine Power who makes it thus and makes us as we are? How small and insignifi- cant I am — we all are — alongside a Being like that. I sigh. Suddenly an entirely different thought strikes me. I should have looked up the name of that certain president for Civics! But it ' s such trouble! What ' s the differ- ence if the man was president anyway? And so I go on up until I am trying to analyze character. Why do certain men attain the presidency anyhow? It ' s the most important job in the world, has attached to it a beautiful home, rental free, and a large salary. But I grimace to myself as I think of myself in his place. And so time flies, silently and quickly my mind idles from one subject to an- other, usually ending with the day ' s events at school. This particular day I am annoyed about a grade I received, and about one of my periods which was rather boresome. Then always I dwell, sometimes lastingly and sometimes fleetingly, on my friends and schoolmates in general. One of my favorite pastimes is to analyze character. I really can ' t do this, but I like to think my own thoughts about them and catalogue them in my own catalogue- A loud bark comes from across the street. I start up and glance across to see the dog come bounding down the steps and leap onto the nearest youngster who tumbles on the grass with him, his bathing suit flying through the air and landing on the sidewalk. I watch with delight the tussle I had unconsciously been waiting for all afternoon. From then on my reveries are broken. Somehow I can ' t pick up my thoughts again. These moods and opportunities are scarce, but when they come they are precious and enriching. Somehow I always feel satisfied and stimulated after being quiet and thoughtful for a period. I feel that I have conquered something, or accom- plished a great deal. -Lillian Trace n. [93] HE- The Complaint of Youth JIL AM Youth. Yesterday I played with toys, was happy, and had a good time, and gave no thought to the future. But today I am worried. I have upon my shoulders the awful and stupendous weight of social problems. I did not take upon myself this burden — you put it there — you. The Older Ones who have yourselves failed to solve these problems. Exactly what problems do I carry, you ask? I shall enumerate them: I have upon my shoulders the puzzle of Capital and Labor, and that of making effi- cient peace treaties; I have to destroy the gangster and rid this world of graft; you ask me to set good examples so that my posterity will learn and thrive better, and establish a good working government; you also ask me to do the almost impossible — bring all people together through a common understanding of religion and classes. Surely you cannot be serious when you ask me to accomplish these tasks. In my class as well as in yours I have those people who will become leaders of our vices. I can- not weed these people out, for the very same reason that you can ' t. Besides, what help have you given me in carrying this burden? Little or none. In fact, in many ways you have increased the burden through your ignorance. Why did you let these vices get such a strong hold upon this country? Why are you so lenient with those crim- inals who tear down our government? Why do you with one hand sign a peace treaty and with the other sign a contract for the building of warships? If I follow your system of puzzle-solving, I shall get no farther than you have, and merely suffer under my load until I can throw it onto my posterity. It remains for me to discover an entirely new method for lightening or ridding myself of this burden. Of course, I can easily drop the load today and refuse to carry on — but what will happen to me? I will be wiped out by those who compose my burden, but I want to live, and enjoy life. You will give me no help. Do you wonder why I complain of the burden you have put upon my shoulders? What shall I do about it? I do not know any more than you. Perhaps tomorrow I shall discover a way of lightening my load, but until then I, Youth, want you to know why I complain of this burden. Robert Crean [94] Content _)ORD, I am wearied of the ceaseless flight Toward stars afar that may not be my goal; I am not strong enough to stand the sight Of space, and of the suns that in it roll — Their brightness blinds me, and I cannot see! I know this grandeur is not for. my eyes. Presumption such as this remove from me Which makes me think that I with stars can rise. But give me things that to this world are bound — Fresh grass, and leaves that shine on each green tree, Spring smells of earth and flowers, the sound Of rain on wet, drenched roofs, the wind-washed sea- And I, who cannot climb the stars too high, Will find, through these, a way to touch the sky. Betty Hazzard Sonnet On the Sun % HOU great sun, thy flaming orb is too bright. Dimmed by thy hot glare, my eyes cannot see. Thy burning mass blacks and spots my weak sight. Blading corona, how can I know thee? But I have slept in thy warmth, soothed within. And I have seen a paled leaf, ' riched and greened By thy rays — the locust split his dried skin — And cocoon-wet wings spread and dry, breeze-preened In Thine are not Thou? The shadowed and damp-dewed Night is also thine, bright sun and flashing. On that cold moon, thy glare, softened and cooled, Thee I see in thy moonlight ' s glow, ice-glistening. Oh sun, great thou art because thou canst be Fine and small. Oh God, thus can I know thee. Justin Atkinson [ ] HE- T, Rain HEY said: Beyond this rain a moon doth shine. And all this wet and chill lies here alone. That sky above, though like the inverted brine, Will but today endure. Stars are its own. They said: This rain today will soon see end. Beyond this rain the firmament is seen, Dark ' d by the moon. This dreary time will mend. This rain is fleeting, drab though it has been. But, ah, they did mistake. Beyond the moon Lies space spread beyond space, length upon length, Where comets pioneered beyond their strength, And, their horizons hid, expired too soon. And all the space the comets ever knew Dried not that rain one whit. But new grass grew. J. Kellogg Burnham. Interval UR druids tell us Chaos, first-born strength, Wrote out his name in runes upon the sky With pulsing thunder bolts, and cast on high The plains, till from their shaggy, buckling lengths Sprang shivering cliffs. Star-shaded, conquered star Throughout dim distance, and the silence there — Not broken since all Heaven from sea turned air, One inch a season — shadow-like died far. This then he rearranged, smoothed it like dust. Made growing things, and animals, and man Was pleased with, and him lent it all in trust. But drop by drop silence refills the sky. Fine learning, gentle arts fit not his plan; Chaos will light his rune-name, bye and bye. J. Kellogg Burnham [96] H The Resurrection JIL HE shattered frames of many men lie here, Bones, cartilege, and bits of khaki things. From which the errant grass so gaily springs, Here shattered souls of many men fled fear, And gasping lips sighed names forever dear. Here on this field of verdant faery rings Death ranted once and spread her bloodstained wings,- life ebbed fast and biting pain clung near. Yet in this field the grass is springing now, And to far fields has come the conqueror plough. And with the golden music of the sun Green leaves are softly budding one by one. So strange a thing for this torn plot to do, Here are the dead becoming live anew. Elizabeth McCoy The Way of All Time 6jr, HIS life is scarcely longer than the flight Of a gold bee in summer, or the swift Sweep of a planet through the burning rift Of topmost heaven on a St. Luke ' s night, Or longer than the moment of sunlight Across any early rose leaf, or the lift Of the dulcet thrush, unanchored and adrift For the blue Indies of a pale twilight. Consider how the snail creeps to his dark den, How the appointed hour of the wren Comes quickly, how the robin is bereft Of color, how the magpie and the lark Go the fleet way of dust; yet among men There is no quarreling about the theft. Ralph Horn [97] HE- The Skipper % HE ancient man who suns himself all day, There on the box before the village store, Is dreaming of the ship he sails no more: He feels the northeast gale and tastes the spray; The schooner rolls in deep troughs as the gray Wave-mountains rise and breaking with a roar, Upon the deck their foaming torrents pour, He grasps the wheel determined — come what may! But pass not lightly by and do not sneer At his rough tangled beard and shaggy head And haggard body sprawling o ' er a chart. Remember here is one who knew no fear, And though he dreams, idle as if one dead, His battered hull conceals a hero ' s heart.

When you laughed yestereve, it was not you. Yours was a mirth eons ere then decreed. And your regret, ordained too, had no need. You were the spinning leaf the long wind blew.

Nathan Asimow Bl 1 Poetry Reading Contest Jit WITHERING the promotion of interest in good oral reading of poetry among high school students, the plan of a Bll Poetry Contest was inaugurated Tuesday, November 1, 1932. Each class selects the best boy and best girl reader in the group and sends the two to the semi-finals where contestants are narrowed down to six. The final elim- ination is held in Tntt Auditorium before an assembly of eleventh grade students. Each contestant is allowed four minutes in which to read his prepared selection from the works of any prominent author. The two winners of the past contest and Mr. Benshimol are judges. Those who have been selected as best in the first contest held at Belmont are Mary Dorothy Cole and Ray Kovitz, and Charlotte Braunstein and Nathan Asi- mow, recently chosen as winners of the second semi-annual English 5 contest. [101] ME- Justin Atkinson. Ileen Price. Frederick Wright. Anthony Randies. David Hume B 10 Oral Reading Contest ITH the aim of creating intelligent oral reading among high school students, the BIO Oral Reading Contest was established in 1926. Rich in talent and com- petitive spirit, the contests are held each term for students of English 3. Survivors of the class, inter-class, and semi-final eliminations, held after careful preparation, compete for supremacy in Tritt Auditorium. Mr. Brothers officiates as chairman, while the winner last term acts as student chairman. It is a tradition to ask three distinguished people to attend this final contest and to choose the winner. Mr. Benshimol is an ex-officio member of the judging committee. The readers are chosen on the worth of their delivery of both a prepared selec- tion and a sight reading. The winner receives a scroll denoting true appreciation of the school toward one who has attained a high honor. Past winners now attending Belmont who have received the coveted award are David Hume, Anthony Randies, Frederick Wright, Ileen Price, and Justin Atkinson. The winner of the contest, June 1, 19 J 3, was Frank Snyder.

During the year Belmont was hostess at the first playday and was guest of Manual Arts, Los Angeles, and Garfield at the subsequent occasions. Belmont, at all times, rated high in this interscholastic competition. JL ennis — Tuesday and Thursday nights are reserved for the tennis club.

[114] [115] HE- 1IQ Basketball -M-c) ASKETBALL is another of the most popular sports with the Belmont girls. They have to be on their toes every minute or they will be lost in the rush. The girls play three-court basketball, and though it is not as fast as the boys ' game, there is plenty of action when every player is alert. The teams were very successful in the last Play Day, losing only one game. Quick thinking and accurate passing and shoot- ing must be the qualifications of the girls who hope to make the team. Hockey MOMENT of suspense — a shrill sound of a whistle, and twenty-two eager girls are battling for the possession of one small, white ball. The girls ' hockey class is in action! The arrival at the line marking a striking circle is the signal to drive hard and fast, and send the ball past the defense through the goal posts for a score. It ' s a hard fast game with plenty of enthusiasm! [ 116] T: Speedball HE kick-off! All twenty-two players are alert. The ball travels to the right wing, back to right forward, then to center forward. A goal! Speedball is the combination of soccer and basketball and is one of the four major sports of the year.

H fl i Wl y p r 1 Leo Flick Coy Watson YeH Leaders Elmer Rose JIL ROVING to be an invaluable asset spiritually and audibly to the local track squad, the Hilltop yell leaders, headed by the effervescent Coy Watson, brought forth many lusty yells from the bleachers. Elmer Rose and Leo Flick were the other two yell leaders. [121] a HE- 7 ■ . -J - p fu- t, Jr Varsity Football .LTHOUGH the pre-season outlook for the Hilltopper varsity with only five returning lettermen and a stiff schedule was decidedly pessimistic, the Green and Black came through the circuit splendidly to land in third place in the standings. The 13 digits representing Poly ' s victory were the only points scored against the Sentinels, who rang up victories over Franklin, Jefferson, and Fairfax, and battled Hollywood and Roosevelt to a deadlock. With four of the five lettermen forming the mainstays of the line, Belmont ' s forward wall represented one of the finest defensive outfits in the city. Three triple- stripe men, Fox at end, Kordick at center, and Captain Harmon at tackle, received All-City and All-Southern California mention for their brilliant performances. Fox did double duty as defensive end and quarter-back on the offensive, doing much of the running and punting. Kordick was a terror on the defense, while Captain Har- mon ' s fighting game inspired his fellows. McFarlm at tackle, Vaughn, Miller, and Droginsky at guard, and Nagler at end shone in their respective berths. Inexperience and injuries played havoc with the backfield as a scoring unit, espe- cially in the tie-games with the Sheiks and the Colonels. Grovenor Montapert amassed the total of 24 points the first four games until a severe back injury laid him up. A broken ankle also incapacitated Leo Schatan who with Norman Monta- pert and James Alexander, formed the blocking cogs. Nelson Batary could always be depended upon for extra yards on line smashes. [122] mm- Polytechnic 13 Belmont Oi ' UTCLASSED in play hut supreme in fight and grit, the 1932 edition of the Belmont grid varsity forced the strong Poly Mechanics to eke out their two-touch- down victory via the aerial route in the league opener. A brilliant stonewall stand on the 1-yard line for four fearful downs against Poly ' s battering rams high-lighted the locals ' defensive performance. For almost three quarters the Parrots ' slashing advances were stemmed until finally two of the passes connected for scores. Although the team as a whole was as yet disorganized, Fox, McFarlin, and Kordick stood out well individually. Franklin Belmont 14 ( ILENCING the Panthers ' growl with a 14-0 trouncing, the Hilltopper eleven emerged from their apathy of the previous game and showed some real scoring punch. The team clicked as a unit with G. Montapert and Batary packing the ball for consistent gains. The Guv ' ner was responsible for both tallies with an 18-yard gallop and a 40-yard drive in the last two cantos. Captain Harmon converted twice. Making 8 first downs to the Kiteflyers ' 4, the locals completely outplayed the Panthers. Schatan earned special mention for his work at blocking half. [123 5 HE- Ai Hollywood Belmont lFTER battling four fierce quarters to a deadlock, the Hollywood Sheiks and the Hilltop Sentinels had only a pair of goose-eggs and broken limbs to show for their struggle. Only one scoring threat was made by either team when the interception of a pass by the Redshirts gave them the ball on the 1-yard stripe. The Hilltoppers held, but a heavy toll was exacted when Leo Schatan was removed from play with a broken ankle. With an impregnable defense and a crippled offense, the Sentinels could only hold the Sheiks around mid-field. e. Jefferson Belmont 1 9 OMING back with a vengeance, a fighting bunch of under-dog Hilltoppers smote down Jefferson ' s vaunted varsity to an ignominious 19-0 defeat. With the dusky flash, O ' Neal, effectively smothered, the Sentinels lost no time in showing their contempt for the Democrat defense. Early in the first quarter, Fox coffin-cornered a punt. A poor return and a Democrat penalty gave the ball to the locals on the 8-yard line, whence Batary plunged it over. G. Montapert packed the pigskin for 50 yards in six plays to score the second tally, and later snatched Fox ' s pass from the ozone for the final score. [i: I Roosevelt Belmont NVADING the Rough Riders ' gridiron as favorites to win, the Sentinels were held to an unsatisfactory, scoreless tie. With 0™ Montapert, local scoring threat, injured early in the fracas, the Belmont offensive seemed helpless, and two strong defensive teams struggled ineffectively to a deadlock. The Crownhillers ' only two chances to score were muffed when passes to White and Fox eluded their eager grasps. The Teddies threatened in the final minutes of play when a fumbled punt gave them the ball on the 17-yard stripe, but a timely tackle by Nagler turned the tide. Nagler and Droginsky merited special honors with their inspired playing. Fairfax Belmont 6 MUCH disgruntled and beaten Colonial trailed his way homeward following the traditional grid tussle which climaxed the season. Scanty though the score may seem, the actual contest found the sons of Crown Hill outplaying and outfighting the Colonials throughout in Fairfax territory, with penalties and fumbles thwarting many Sentinel scores. The lone touchdown was made by a brilliant combined effort. A 2 5 -yard toss from White to Grovenor Montapert, three plunges for nine yards by White, and a final blow by Batary shoved home the margin of victory. [125] N. MONTAPEKT McFarlin G. MONTAPEHT [ 126] EHD- Lightiveight Football ITH half of the games resulting in scoreless deadlocks and two wins and a defeat completing the schedule, the 1932 lightweight grid season may be classed as fairly successful for the Hilltoppers. Coach Ebers was blessed with excellent ma- terial, and had a strong team which, however, seemed to lack a certain punch neces- sary for consistent winning. Ahly filling the position as captain, Bud Moore played a hangup game at guard. The other members of the hard charging line included Harvey and Hirata, ends; Streeton, Fontaine, and Ricco, tackles; Lovell and Sidell, guards; and Steinel, stellar center. With Phelps specializing in line plunging, Phebus in kicking, and Schwartz, Edwards, Khangis, and Castro adept on the defense and in ball-packing, the backfield presented a well-balanced unit.

In the initial contest the Polytechnic Parrakeets were bowled over 18-0, a hide- out pass play, a 30-yard gallop by Saavedra, and a blocked punt accounting for the scores. Chappo Saavedra ' s spectacular 70-yard gallop to a touchdown highlight- ed the 12-0 victory over the Fairfax Colonials. The next encounter was a 6-6 tie with the L. A. Romans, followed by a defeat at the hands of the potential champs from Manual. The last game found the Franklin Cubs victims of an 18-0 drubbing by the Sentinel midgets. Heading the list of local stalwarts, diminutive Chappo was easily the most brilliant ball-packer of the league, receiving All-City honors. Two team-mates, John Berardino and John Carmona, at half-back and center, also received mention. Another shining light in the back- field was Freddie Fenton, a consistent ground-gainer. Pete Childress at end, Sat Yabuta at tackle, and Jim Cane at half likewise merit special honors. Rali ' ii Saavedra [128] he- Cross-Country lLTHOUGH finishing only ninth in the city cross-country grind held at U.C.L.A., the Hilltopper harriers experienced a fairly successful season and unearthed some ex- cellent distance material for Belmont ' s track team. The city meet climaxed a stren- uous schedule of practice meets in which Belmont came out creditably. With only two returning lettermen as the nucleus for his harrier team, Coach Laddie Mullard deserves much credit for the comparatively good showing made by the local squad. The most promising leather lunger was Roland Harnew, a tenth-grader, who led the local field in every meet finishing consistently among the first. He was closely followed by Jack Wittman, Jack Dixon, and Richard Quisenberry, Captain. In a practice meet held at Westwood with the Bruin frosh and Roosevelt High, Harnew finished third to two U.C.L.A. men, beating Wall, Southern California champion from the Rough Rider institution. In the City meet at Westwood, Belmont ' s first man, Harnew, finished eighteenth. Other Hilltoppers finished in the following order: Wittman, Dixon,. Dussler, Lan;, Quisenberry, and De La Torre. Captain Quisenberry failed to finish among the first five, handicapped by illness, and did not receive his numeral. Aside from Harnew, the returning lettermen for the coming season will be Dixon and Dussler, juniors, who should reap added glory for Belmont. [ 1?9 1 Varsity Basketball 1L OMMENDABLE, but erratic was the showing of the Hilltopper varsity cage squad for the 1932-33 season. With hut one returning veteran, Coaches Ebers and Mullard produced a team that surpassed all pre-season expectations and proved itselt a formidable opponent, although it lost three of its games. All City honors were conferred upon the stellar Sentinel captain, Earl Hood, whose dead-eye shooting rang up the highest season total for the entire league. His running mate, Bus Leonard, at forward played a consistent game starring especially in the Fairfax struggle, but failed to contribute as freely to the scoring. At the pivot berth Pat Wood aided materially by giving local plays the right send-off with the tip-off. Mario Porno and Carl Stierle made a topnotch combination on the defensive, cavorting at the guard positions. Gor- don Brown was a capable reserve forward, while Gon- zales, Slott, and Steinen also saw frequent action. Starting the Casaba season with a bang, the locals scored one of the most sensational upsets in their victory over the Romans. The following duo of games found the Green and Black falling into a relapse which was further augmented by the Christmas vacation. However, the Sen- tinel quintet vindicated themselves in the final contest against the virtually champion Colonials, by flashing a replica of the brilliant play which marked their initial encounter. Aside from the sensational play of Captain Hood, the whole team played together as a smooth-working, well- greased unit. [130] Varsity Basketball Resume L. A. 27 Belmont 31 mil. UMBLING the proud Romans 31-27, the Belmont varsity quintet opened the 1932-33 season with a sensational upset. Captain Hood made his first bid for scoring honors with 1 3 points as the Hilltoppers usurped the lead from the very beginning and held it throughout the thrill-packed contest. The climax was reached in the third canto when the score stood 27-26, but a Sentinel barrage stemmed the tide. Pat Wood with S points played a real game at center. Lincoln 29 Belmont 26 ITH Frenchy Boccignone, Tiger forward, proving the locals ' Nemesis, the Hilltoppers bowed before the Railsplitter quintet 29-2o. The deadly shooting of the Lincoln scoring ace found the visitors with an 18-10 lead over the Sentinels at half time. After the intermission, however, a rejuvenated Belmont squad romped onto the floor and staged a brilliant rally to snatch a one point lead. A relapse in the last period spelled defeat. I Garfield 30 Belmont 33 N a fast and exciting cage fracas, the sons of Crown Hill chalked up their second win at the expense of the Garfield Bulldogs. Scoring 23 out of the 33 Belmont points, Captain Hood jumped to the lead in the City League scoring race with a season total of 50 digits. The first half found the score tied 19-19 with Hood making all but two of the local points. Attempts to check Earl were evident in the last half, but Leonard and Porno managed to keep the Sentinels in the lead. Fremont 32 Belmont 20 23 EEMINGLY unable to hit their old form after the holidays, the Green and Black cagers were defeated by Fremont for the first time in seven years of competition with the Pathfinders. The loss of Wood and Pomo in the first half for an excess of per- sonal fouls crippled the team considerably. Hood was not up to par, with only 10 points. Manual Arts 31 Belmont 21 DEARTH of supporting scores from the other four members of the Belmont quintet and the concerted, machine-like team-play of the Artisans, put the fifteen points of Captain Hood, high-point man for the contest, to naught. The score at the end of the first quarter read 12-3 for Manual, showing the large margin which was maintained to the end. Stierle broke loose to score 3 digits, his only tallies in four games. Fairfax 35 Belmont 28 lLTHOUGH the final score of the annual grudge classic with the Colonials stood 3 -28 in favor of the undefeated champs, the use of an ineligible player by Fairfax caused a forfeit and a reversal of the victory. The game, nevertheless, was very close and thrilling with ' Bus Leonard stealing local scoring honors with 12 markers. The Colonials showed themselves to be rightful owners of the crown, but forfeits later placed them in the cellar position. [131] HE- Lightweight Basketball lFTER faltering twice in the first two league encounters, the Hilltopper light- weight c agcrs finally hit their stride and finished a successful casaba season with four straight wins to land well up in the final standings. With only a few Class C lettermen and Bee reserves to work with, Coach Mul- lard molded a well-balanced team which as the season progressed, functioned as a well knitted unit, completely bewildering their opponents with a speedy execution of plays timed to the minute- The initial setback, 25-18, was received at the hands of the L. A. Romans, while the Lincoln Tiger Cubs were the second ones to take advantage of a disorganised Sen- tinel squad, defeating it 15-13. With the locals ' 26-13 trouncing of the Garfield Bull- pups, however, the tide turned and the Bees romped victorious over Fremont, Manual, and Fairfax, defeating the Pathfinders 17-23, the Artisans 24-13, and the Colonials 35-20. The Green and Black Lighties were of championship caliber and the direct cause of the first two losses in league encounters can be laid to the incapacity of the locals to sink foul and setup shots. With 52 digits to his credit, John Totsis, center, led the Sentinel scoring and also acquitted himself extremely well at the tip-off position. Following him in scoring came Captain Senzaki, who scintillated at running guard, but also found the basket for 30 points. Oscar Wasserman at one forward berth was responsible for 28 mark- ers, while Fred Kawa at the other forward sank 24 points. Completing the first string quintet, Ted Valenzuela played a steady game at standing guard. Outstanding among the reserves were Joe Visconti and Frank Hernandez, who received letters for their work at forward. [132] HE- Lightweight Resume Polytechnic 6 Belmont JlLUAD BREAKS and a blunder at a most inopportune time gave the Sentinel Eighties in their initial enc ounter against the Poly Babes their first and only defeat of the season. With the team in punt formation early in the second period, the pass from center struck a Belmont back and bounded to the 3 -yard line, where it was re- covered by Poly and plunged over for the winning touchdown. Franklin Belmont 1L) UTPLAYING its opponent in a fiercely contested battle, but unable to over- come the stubborn defense of the opposition, the local lightweights were held score- less by the Panther Bees. Belmont made several invasions deep into Franklin terri- tory, but all fell short. The game ended with the ball on the 2-foot line, stopped by a heroic goal-line defense. Hirata, Schwartz, Khangis, and Phelps shone for the locals. Hollywood Belmont yVlTH the scoreless jinx still pursuing them, the Hilltoppers battled the Movie City boys to a tie. The Sheiks held the upper hand throughout as the pigskin eluded the local backs. A Hollywood fumble in the third canto initiated a brilliant Sentinel offensive stab when Schwartz broke loose for a long run only to be overtaken 19 yards from a score. Another run by Caro put the ball on the Crimson 9-yard stripe, but to no avail. T Jefferson 6 Belmont 7 _ HE scant margin of one point gave the Hilltoppers their first taste of victory over the Democrats. In the opening period a long pass to Sidell placed the oval in position for Phelps to plunge over for the score. A place-kick by Phebus netted the deciding digit. In swift retaliation a Jefferson back ran 40 yards through the entire team to score, but the conversion was smothered. Steinel at center took individual honors. Roosevelt 2 Belmont 13 T WO touchdowns by a well-oiled Sentinel grid outfit meant defeat for the Roose- velt Rough-Riders in the fourth game of the season. The Ebersmen seemed to have hit their stride and punched the scores over with determined drives against tough opposition. A bad pass from center went over the goal for a safety, giving the Colonels the consolation of two points. Fairfax Belmont J. REPEATING the performance of the previous year, the locals ran the weak Colonials all over the field, but failed to cross the coveted goal-line stripe. Dropped passes, costly fumbles, and inopportune fumbles combined to thwart the Hilltoppers scoring aspirations. Captain Moore, Streeton, Steinel, and Castro outdid themselves while the others acquitted themselves creditably. [133] mj Class Cee Basketball e, - ONTRARY to Belmont tradition, the Class Cee hoopsters failed to come through their season with flying colors, owing to the extreme inexperience of the midget candi- dates for the team. Just one victory over Manual Arts saved the season from utter oblivion. It is a credit to the mentorship of student-coach George Henderson that during the course of the season the squad of green men was whipped into quite a smooth- working outfit, which put up good fights against stern opposition. Much likely ma- terial for future Cee and lightweight teams was also unearthed. The first game of the season found the Hilltoppers overwhelmed by the speedy, well-organized onslaught of the Roman Cees to the score of 28-19. The Rough Rider Midgets then trampled the bewildered locals 34-4, but the next encounter with the Hollywood Sheiks, the Sentinels showed improvement, losing 10-8. An exciting last minute score brought victory for the first game to the Hilltoppers when Fleming made the score 17-16 in the Manual Arts tilt. The final encounter with Fairfax was dropped 24-12. Fleming and Giles scored most consistently while other first-string performers in- cluded Medhurst, Wainman, Kashiwagi, Pecker, and Perrotti. Owing to the lack of competition, the Class Dee casaba call was not issued. But not a few fleaweight mellon-tcssers were seen on the Cee roster. [134] HB Varsity Track Li • ED by Captain Bill Fox, veteran high jumper, the 1933 Hilltop Varsity track and field squad more than held its own against league opposition. Speaking well of the splendid mentorship of Coaches Ebers and Mullard, the Sentinels with only three lettermen as the nucleus, finished the season with three wins and an equal number of losses. Numerous Class B men aided the Varsity cause to a great extent. Although having only five varsity men entered in the City Meet, the locals managed to aggregate sixteen points for a sixth place. Most brilliant among the Hilltop stars in this meet were Gordon Miner, who stepped the quarter-mile in 50.9 seconds for a new school record, Dave Robinson, who took a second and third in the 220 and 100, respectively, and Capt. Fox, who took a second to Corny Johnson, world ' s interscholastic record holder in the high jump. In addition to the afore- mentioned men, the dual meet season brought out many fine athletes. Out- standing point winners were Twyford and Biggs in the 880; Harnew in the mile; Jamison in both hurdles; Fitzgerald in the low hur- dles; McFarlin and Drogin- sky in the shotput; Kama- yatsu and Yabuta in the broad jump; and Frank and Grover in the pole vault. MlNEIt [ Hi] 5 HE- Hakxew YOUNGREN Miller Dual Meets ■ INNING nine firsts and two clean sweeps, the Sentinels opened the 1933 season auspiciously with a 65! 2 -38K 2 win over the Rough Riders. Miner won both sprints in very fast times. In the following meet, the locals dropped a heart-breaking thriller to the Redshirts, 52 1 3-51 2 3, when upsets occurred in the final events, the broad jump and the mile. Don Jamison cracked two Belmont hurdle records to sweep indi- vidual honors. The Green and Black wreaked their pent-up vengeance upon the inno- cent Printers in the very next encounter, thrashing out a 68-36 victory. Jamison again featured with wins in the hurdles. Traveling to Poly High, the Sentinels met their second defeat of the season, but only after a terrific battle were the Hilltoppers sub- dued, 57! 2 -46 2 3- Gordy Miner shattered the Belmont 440 record by one and one- tenth seconds, running the distance in 5 1 flat. In an almost exact replica of the Red- shirt thriller, the Democrats raided the Crown Hill to walk off with a mere 53 2 -50j 2 victory which was decided only by the relay. As a crowning finale to one of the most successful Belmont track seasons in many a year, the locals thoroughly trounced the cocky Colonials, who dared to invade the sacred Hilltop demain, by a 63! 2 -40j 2 score. I V Ka.mavatsu Grover { 136] Lightweight Track ITH most of their star performers competing on the Varsity, the Belmont Babes, nevertheless, managed to wind up their dual meet season in fifth place. In the City Meet finals, the Bees with their full strength back, took a third behind Manual Arts and Los Angeles. Twyford, in winning the 660, set a new school mark of 1 :27.5 while Biggs took a third. Kamayatsu managed to garner a second in the broad jump while Moore, breaking the school record with a throw of 47 ft. 3 in., received a third in shotput as did Fitzgerald in the low hurdles. Other point winners were Bernardino in the shotput, Medrano in the sprints, and Frank in the pole vault. In the dual meets, the Sentinel Lights finished the season with a .500 average, cop- ping three and dropping three. Roosevelt, Franklin, and Jefferson fell prey to the Sentinel Babes while the Hollywood, Poly, and Fairfax Lighties proved too much for the Hilltoppers. Competing in the dual meets were Soso, sprinter; Smith, Redelsbur- ger, and Reedstrum, 660 men: Dussler and Quinones, 1320 runners; Swartz, hur- dler and broadjumper; Witt- man, hurdler; Sidell, sprint- er, shot putter, and broad jumper; Berardino, shot put- ter, and McCarley, high jumper and pole vaulter. Ml DBANO [137] mm- Class C Track ARING very well in the dual meet schedule, the Sentinel Midgets completed their dual meet schedule with only one loss. First, Roosevelt fell an easy prey to the local Cees; then in the following meet, the Redshirts handed the Sentinels their only defeat in a convincing manner; Franklin, Polytechnic, Jefferson, and Fairfax, in the order mentioned, all proved no match for the Crown Hill Peewees. Led by Saturo Yahuta, sensational Class C athlete, the local midgets wound up their track season at the City League finals in third place. Yabuta, jumping the varsity broad jump during the regular season, came back into his own division in the City Meet with wins in the broad jump and the century dash. In the former event, he leaped to an amazing record of 21 ft. 5 2 in. Garnering points in the same meet were Madrid, tie for first in the 660; McCready, tie for first in the high jump; Lyons, fifth in the broad jump and tie for third in the high jump; Ishikawa, fourth in the low hurdles; and Naga- no, tie for first in the high jump. The fine showing made by the midgets points to a fine Class B team next season, for most of the boys were tenth graders. [13S] HE- Tennis ITH six lettermen back from the preceding year, the Sentinel hopes for a tennis championship were never brighter than at the start of the 1933 court campaign. But the loss of Don Terry, captain-elect and number-one man for the locals, through ineligibility, dealt a severe blow to the Hilltop chances from which the team never fully recovered. The Sentinel league season consist ed of matches with Franklin, Roosevelt, Los Angeles, Fairfax, Garfield, and Fremont. At the present writing, the locals had two wins and three losses. This season a new system of scoring tennis tournament was inaugurated in the City Leagues. There are twenty-five possible points to be scored, with a win in the first singles counting five points, second singles four, third singles three, fourth singles two, the first doubles seven, and the second doubles four points. In the first encounter, the local racketeers were subdued by the Franklin team by one point, 13-12. Greenspan, Smalley, and Brumley, first, second, and third singles, respectively, won their matches. The Sentinels, however, came back in the following week with a 16-9 win over Fremont. The first, second, and third single; were again victorious, and in addition, the second doubles team composed of Bern- stein and Piro came through with a win. The Sentinel racket wielders next scored their second victory, 13-12, over Roosevelt. Greenspan and Smalley won their matches as did the second doubles team, Bernstein and Piro. Williams and Kitchen, first doubles team, did not fare so well. Playing the championship bound Romans, the Hilltoppers proved no match and were handed a 25-0 whitewashing. The Sentinels received another drubbing following this at the hands of Fairfax, 17-8, with the second singles and second doubles gathering the only Hilltop points. At the time the annual went to press there was still one match to be played. Pop Hollinger coached the team.

Naturally the welfare of the individual student should be, and generally is, of para- mount interest to the parents of that student. The birth of this association in Belmont High School provides the medium for co-ordinating the efforts of the parents and the teachers. This helpful co-operation fosters the training of the individual student toward a high standard of American citizenship. Mr. Alfred L. Benshimol, principal, invited the parents of all the students to meet informally with the faculty on October 20, 1932. The general discussion at this meeting progressed sufficiently to form an organization. The first meeting, called for the election of officers, took place November 2, 1932. President - Mrs. D. I.

On this day especially, every parent is cordially invited to come to the school to meet the teachers and other parents in the friendly spirit of co-operation. Here is a close-up of the splendid relationship between the students and the faculty in the school activities which will interest every parent! We sincerely want every Belmont parent to meet with us and help each other help our Belmont students. We sincerely want every Belmont student to realize that our association is here to help and aid them, without interfering with their activities.

Facing the possibility of not being able to present a play because of drastic cuts in the teaching staff, they, nevertheless, at the eleventh hour put on a production, acclaimed as a great success, under Mrs. Palmer ' s guidance. Sibley Waller, the lead, is deserving of commendation for his fine portrayal of Charley ' s Aunt . The play was further augmented by a well-chosen cast, all of whose performances were excellent. Much credit is due the Art Department for furnishing clever settings and other departments of the school for their untiring efforts lent to the production.

One of the most delightful features of the affair is the fact that all eating is done with the fingers and knives, as in Chaucer ' s time (1350-1400), forks and spoons had not yet been invented, and nothing is more amusing than teaing supposedly dignified students and teachers eating in this quaint and original manner. English Literature Zoo Ranging from dragons and wild creatures to dogs and other civilized ani- mals, a collection of glass, crystal, clay, wooden, and plaster animals is possessed by Miss Keyes and Miss Guild, teachers of English Literature. All are named after outstanding characters found in literature. The pioneer member of the zoo is a brilliant-hued wooden creature, named Grendel after the famous dragon in Beowuif . Each term, members of the literature classes have contributed to the collection until it has now become ti-aditional for each class to add something to the zoo. Q !§?§i f tfji C. ' 53 LA t yT Sit T N ( T 7 VVko E p 9J Parents ' Tea One of the final social events of the A12 term occurs when the Seniors play host to their parents and the faculty at a tea given in the Belmont Library. This affair serves to acquaint the parents with the school and faculty, and links the teachers and students in a closer bond of friendship. Beginning at three- thirty o ' clock, the Seniors show their guests the high-points of interest about the school and introduce them to underclass mates. As a delightful climax, refresh- ments are served under the direction of the Home Economics Department, by chosen members from the Senior class. Senior Plates After Class Day, the Senior A ' s assemble on the front walk of the school to witness the planting of class souvenirs and the placing of the metal plate, which will represent their class for years to come. Concealed in a waterproof, sealed jar are some memoirs such as the Class Day program. Graduation pro- gram, some yarn from the sweaters, a copy of the class emblem, a copy of the class song, and a Senior Prom program. The jar is carefully planted under the plate denoting the year of the graduation class. This ceremony replaces the old custom of planting ivy after the Class Day program. Tower Ceremony There is an air of real mystery in the Senior A ceremony that takes place in the Campanile Tower after the Senior plate-planting, which is most puzzling to the entire school. The program is of an entirely serious nature, and no one but the graduates know the significance of it. As the tower holds only a very limited number of people, the class is divided into groups to participate in the ceremony. Senior A Bench The bench around the flagpole in front of Belmont was presented to the school by the Senior Class of Summer 1926, and since then has been for the exclusive use of the Senior A ' s. No one else is permitted to sit on the bench t and if one of the High ' n Mighties finds a Senior B parked there, real ex- citement follows! As a means of revenge on the selfish Ayes. Mr. X sees that the bench comes forth with a new coat of paint of the most brilliant hue on Hallowe ' en of each year. [160] 1333- Traditions Si Mul! B Tri 1 In order to be exclusive in a way of their own, the Senior B ' s are in pos- session of a shade tree on the front lawn, not far from the Senior bench. This was not officially presented t the school by a graduating; class, hut it has been claimed by the B ' s for several years. Like the A ' s and their bench, the Senior B ' s claim the tree fur their private use, and they alone are permitted to enjoy its shade. Traditional Dances. The four most outstanding social events of each term are the Senior Prom, thi Army Ball, the Knights ' Dance, and the Ladyes ' Dance. The Senior Prom is given by the Senior B ' s for the Senior A ' s and is attended only by those two classes and the faculty. The Army Ball, sponsored by the R. O. T. C. for their friends and the faculty, is also a semi-annual affair. The Knights ' Dance is one to which each Knight may give two bids to non-members. Patterned after the Knights ' dance and attended by invitation gTJests only, the Ladyes ' Dance is the gala event of the term. Eulexian Candy Sale For the purpose of raising money for the Tritt Scholarship Fund, an annual candy sale is held by the Eulexian Society. The whole school furnishes the candy which is sold during the fifth and sixth lunch periods for ten cents a bag. One two-hundred and fitty-dollar check scholarship is given to the most outstanding scholar of each graduating class. Through these sales, the Society is able to add from fifty to seventy dollars to the fund, thus making it last longer. Y £ T E er wQ  L s Jllll A S C(f |j0 1 r M wfl) R AM An Unusual Final Exam An unusual type of final examination and one which is dreaded by none is given at the end of the term to the boys who have been students of Social Arts. Everv boy in the class invites a girl to the picnic or dinner which is held, and the way ' in which he invites a girl, introduces her to the teachers and his friends, and serves her, proves that he has learned a proper conduct for all times by his study of Social Arts. Miss Phelps. Miss Crosier, Mrs. Andrews. Mr. Benshimol. and Mr. Brothers are the guests of honor at this affair. Our Football Rival Although anv football game i thrilling to the excited fans and student body supporters, the one that is attended more than any others and that causes more sore throats is the traditional game between Belmont and Fairfa-x. All other schools in the league are played only once every two years by our team, but Fairfax and Belmont, traditional rivals, meet every year to gain supremacy on the gridiron. w £ B n 1 JAW 11 1 UK wmA 5M B  t Football Banquet An annual affair that marks the close of the football season is the banquet that is held in tin evening in the cafeteria. Th._ student body president acts as toastmaster while the vice-principal, who is officially in charge of the football games, is the guest of honor. Members of all three squads and their coaches are present. The captains of each squad are called upon for short speeches, and to conclude the gala affair the varsity captain for the next football season is elected.
