But this definition hardly de- scribes the character of the early Amer- icans who trekked into California in search of gold or homesteads. Perhaps they could better be described as peo- ple having perseverance, fortitude, and boldness, going into an unsettled coun- try to build homes for themselves and their families. The greater number of these people little realized what hardships and dan- gers they were going to encounter in their search for a new beginning, but even after a few weeks on the long, hot, dusty plains, determination to press on to greater uncertainties was stronger than ever. If one were to explore or even live in an uncivilized or unsettled country today he would have the radio and the telegraph with which to keep in con- tact with the outside world. When these hardy pioneers set out they didn't have the advantage of a thickly populated country , d probably didn't even see any human beings except the memberxmf their own party for weeks at a time, and it seems, according to all records, that the pioneer very seldom gave a thought of turning back. Instead ,he kept ever towards his goal- California. ' 'W We are prone to reflect on the character of the sturdy pioneers who endured the hardships of the overland routes and lived to build up the West and perpetuate the ideals of government and faith which were inspired by the founders of our republic. We are wont to wonder at the motives which prompted them to leave the comforts of home and the companionship of loved ones to venture forth into a world fraught with uncertainties. In conclusion we hope that our book may leave you with a new respect for our first Californians, that we may hold them up as an example to follow, and with this spirit in mind we sincerely dedicate the 1934 SIERRA VISTA to the memory of those hardy pioneers. VIVIAN LILLIE. OUR ALINIA MATER -..gf 2 lg..- Principa1's Message It is encouraging to note that when the members of the constitutional con- vention assembled in Monterey in the fall of 1849 to draft the Constitution of the State of California, they were not unmindful of the need for schools. Con- sequently, they included a provision authorizing the Legislature to provide for a system of common schools. These pioneers recognized that education was an essential factor in the progress of the Nation. Since many of them had lim- ited educational opportunities, they were determined that there would be no denial of future generations. As a re- sult of their foresight and the continued faith of the people, California ranks foremost in providing equal opportun- ities in education for the ever-growing population. Where a generation ago l only a select few received higher edu- l cation, today there is no discrimination and the majority of the people may avail themselves of the privilege. ' However, this opportunity for an education does not carry with it any guarantee for success or happiness. There is more involved than the accumulation of knowledge. It includes more than the mere possi- bility of earning a livelihood. Education aims to help one meet the problems of life. Yet it does not mean morality and usefulness, for through education one is capable of doing harm in the world. But edu- cation, rightfully used and combined with good character, a high re- solve, and the consideration of others, will help man to be of service in the world. While one may be entitled to an education, he must realize that the benefit to be derived from it will depend upon the amount of effort that he expends. He must know that there is no short-cut plan in se- curing an education. Each person must determine for himself the course that he must follow. Setting high his mark, he must strive to accomplish his goal, and, like the pioneers, with the same determina- tion, must he provide for others. Then shall he have acquitted him- self of a life well spent. - 6l3l9 - 1 .n1r.mlae:1,.:Alrnu:m.4:.L1.,u mv..rfvn1,1 l:., .- ima' Almvr-.lfll:ri1r1ff'-.wlll.lul1'v !--,, Q.. .4 H... .,w....-w.. The Dawson Party N MAY 12, 1841, a little emigrant party of sixty- nine, among whom were john Bidwell and Josiah Beldon, two eminent California pio- neers, left the little town of Sapling Grove, near Kan- sas City, Missouri. The leadership of John Bartleson proved short-lived and the little band was forced to guide itself across the plains after his desertion in Utah. Thus weakened in numbers, the remainder of the group pressed on across the desert to the foot of the Sierra Ne- vadas. Unable to find a pass they were forced to dis- mantle their equipment and move forward on foot. A member of the party, Nancy A. Kelsey, walked bare- footed over the crags of the Sonora Pass carrying her two-year old baby and leading her horse. Weary and footsore the little party eventuall'y reached the head- waters of the Stanislaus River and followed its canyon down past a redwood grove, now probably known as the Calaveras Big Trees, into the main valley of Cali- fornia. They reached the ranch of Dr. Marsh on No- vember 4, l84l, little realizing that they had arrived in California, the land of their quest. This was the first emigrant party to come across the mainland to the Paci- fic Coast. -'6l4l9e- .,9f1:- 1 -1 . wf.e'1:!..l1 Leaf A ' Ee 1 ,J ,:-m- X ,J H V jhiiisu'-y :TT .

What a cruel world this seemed to us then! We were always mindful of our su- periors, the high and mighty upperclassmen. Naturally we were new at the game, a fact which won for us the title of green freshies. Never- theless, we were determined to face whatever obstacles came into our paths. We had set out to Hnd a fortune, a career, and did not intend to have anything interfere with our plans. In a very short time, under the supervision of Miss Jeckell, we had become more accustomed to our new surroundings. We organ- ized with the following ofiicers to see us through our first year in the struggle to gain success: President Ambrosia Colendichg vice-presi- dent, Catherine Monte Verdag secretary-treasurer, Annabel Redding. The first thing of importance that occurred in that year was our invitation to the Freshman Reception, which was to be given in our honor. Naturally we were quite thrilled as this was to be our first public appearance. Well, the time came for the party, and what an ordeal! Spectators were more than supplied with thrills and laughs at the expense of the frosh. That over, things began to go along more smoothly as we were really part of the organization, now that we had been full'y initiated. Although we were still looked upon as mere freshies, we were becoming more and more acquainted with our elders and they weren't such a bad sort after all. About the beginning of the second semester, we became quite brave and gave candy sales in order to raise suliicient funds to be used for a thank you party to be given to the sophomores. Since it was near St. Patrick's Day we selected a theme appropriate for the occasion. The party proved to be a success, and after that event we were on very congenial terms with the sophomores. just as we were becoming better acquainted with our superiors, the term ended and We bade the seniors farewell. Our next step upward brought us to the sophomore year which commenced on August 31, 1931, with twenty-six workers ready to start the ball rolling. For this year we had elected the following of- ficers: President, Vivian Lillieg vice-president, Catherine Monte Verdag secretary-treasurer, Nadine Carter and Mamie Sayer. To start the mill, we put the frosh through the same grind that .we had gone through. Then we gave them the necessary reception and be- came acquainted with them. As in the previous year our activities in sports and dramatics continued. The few boys that our class boasted of brought in several honors. ...gf g ig..- ThE fff1 g07Z6lutS :J an an :J an sv In the spring of the second semester we were invited to attend a party given in our honor by the frosh. Games, music, and dancing constituted the entertainment of the evening. But June eventually came, and found us bidding another class good-bye. After three months of leisure, we formed a new camp. This one we had been anticipating for two years, thinking that we would find richer diggings here, however, one must work up. The title we now held was that of jolly juniors, carrying as our ofiicers the following: President, Mamie Sayer, vice-president, Venus Shrumg secretary- treasurer, Thelma Benigarg Girls' League executive, Vivian Lillie, Student Council members, Raulin Lagomarsino and Catherine MonteVerda. One of our class members, Frances Bonfilio, was elect- ed to the office of vice-president of the student body. We belonged to the upperclassmen group now, much to our delight. We have recollections of many good times spent with the seniors. On May 19, 1933, we decided to give the senior class a farewell party. We took them to the theater where we saw the picture Match King . After the show we all boarded a bus and went to Melones where we attended a dance. About a week later the seniors retaliated and held a swimming party at Murphys in our honor. Underneath all our joy there was a certain amount of sadness as we were aware of the fact that this was the last gathering of the two classes. On June 8 we bade the seniors adios and again retired for three months. August 28, 1933 brought us back to the old grind again, holding the honor of being seniors. This year our class had as oilicersz Presi- dent, Joyce Kurtz, vice-president, Veola Thorpe, secretary-treasurer, Venus Shrumg Student Council members, Vivian Lillie and Raulin Lagomarsino. What a short time it seems since we began our toil to achieve that which awaited us as seniors! As this Annual goes to the press, the cast is busy rehearsing the class play Skidding . Aided by the pro- ceeds of this play we anticipate a grand Sneak Day, on which we will probably go to Yosemite Valley. After our return, we shall walk down the aisle of the assembly hall, to the swelling notes of Pomp and Circumstancef' as we go forward to receive our diplomas for which we have been striving. Now we must say good-bye, it is not without sor- row that we leave the place and people who have been so dear to us. To our teachers and all who have helped us, we extend our heart- iest thanks and hope that this is not good-bye forever.

Twins don't seem to worry Mamie as she is an opera singer in the Metropolitan. It's managed by Mr. Berry now, you know. Mary Vukasinovich is also in the same company. Raulin, dear, turn on the radio. -And that, fellow classmates, was a real xylophone solo by Ambrosia Colendich. Ambrosia, say a word to the folks. Hello, kids- Time's up, Ambrosia. Thanks!

Let's tune in on the radio and see what's happening. Folks, the football is in the sophomorels possession, but neither team has yet scored. Now just a word about the team: The sopho- mores under the leadership of President Elinor Blazer, Vice-Presi- dent Helen Kurtz, Secretary Arlene Tanner, and Treasurer Lois Stephens have made progress on the field. New players on the squad are Jeanne Baker, Lucien Cassel, jack Elliot, and Bob Ireland. Time out! At last I have a chance to summarize the outstanding events of the first quarter: On August 22, l932, the sophomores, then the freshmen, caught the ball when Defeat fumbled it. More yard- age Was added toward the coveted goal when Ellen Russell's Armis- tice Day essay won the inter-scholastic contest. Although no touch- down was made in the first quarter, the freshmen received the merit award for their good conduct on the field. Now, back to the game! The sophomores are in a huddle with Coach Auten. Listen to the crowdl The sophomore's student body program on December 15, 1933 certainly made a gain for the team. Something has happened-it's a touchdown! The sophomores have scored! A touchdown to most people represents the highest peak in football, but to the sophomores it signifies that they are approaching the summit of their aim, victory.

These feelings only lasted a few days and, in spite of the many ordeals through which we were put and the many terrible phrases which we had heard hurled by upperclassmen, We found that they were really good sports after all. After we had been enrolled for about a Week Mr. Daily was ap- pointed our class adviser. At our first general meeting he instructed us in the method of procedure used in the selection of officers. Those whom We elected were: President, Natale Bancherog vice-president, Alice Mills, secretary-treasurer, Anthony Giusto. Then began the long and agonizing Wait for the freshman initia- tion party to be arranged by the sophomores. The fatal day arrived and, contrary to the usual proceedings, the entire student body was invited to attend and enjoy the fun at our expense. After We Were tortured sufficiently we were pronounced members of the Bret Harte High School. Later in the semester We were asked to present a program for the entertainment of the student body, and with the co-operation of the members of the class a very enjoyable program was given. We are doing our best to attain success and happiness here at Bret Harte- AILEEN RYLAND '37. -st l1Bg.. 44 C4 C4 44 44 44 The Jrgonauts CLAIM IUMPERS Q-Quay. The eff1 g072dZlIS ra as 5: an as 9 Fresno, California, May 10, 1934. Dear Mr. Davis: While we have been touring the state we have met many of the former students of Bret Harte. We thought that you might be interested in hear- ing about where they are and what they are doing. A few days ago, while visiting the Fresno State College, we met Wal- lace May, '31. He is studying very hard and hopes to be a lawyer some day. Katherine Merdalo, a 1933 graduate, is now enrolled at the San Jose State Teachers College. In San Francisco we discovered Alberta Starcevich '32, studying dili- gently at the S. F. State Teachers College. Elaine Carlow '31 is doing stenographic work in a lawyer's office. Alice Giusto, of the same class, is also located here. Carrie Covello and Theresa Slavazza '31 graduates, have completed their nursing course in the Sisters' Hospital in Sacramento. Merle Segale '33 has recently completed a course in the Mechanical Di- vision of Heald's Business College. With a doctor's degree in view, An- drew Robertson '33 is taking a pre-medical course at U. C. In Stockton we found Nadine Marchal '30 filling the position of as- sistant cashier in Kress' Store. Mildred Tanner '32, having finished a busi- ness course at the College of Commerce, is now employed by the Stockton Iron Works. Winifred Davies '30, on the completion of her nursing course at the St. joseph's Hospital, is employed there. Also at the St. Joseph's Hospital we met Genevieve Dever '31, who is training there. In Plymouth we came across Henry Cooper '32, who has finished a course at the Davis Agricultural College and is now managing his father's ranch. Since we were near Sacramento we went there and looked up Peter Dragone '32, who has graduated from the Western School of Business. He is now working in the capitol, doing governmental work under the C. C. C. Division. While here we visited the Sacramento Junior College where we found James Romaggi '33, and LeRoy Hobday '33 enrolled. Although we met a number of the graduates we found very few who were married. However, among those whom we met were Helen Hol- combe '31, now Mrs. Joe Gillin, whose home is in Stockton. Also living here is Mrs. Purl, formerly Doramaye Aldrich '30. Here, too, we found Norma Tanner '32, whose name is now Mrs. Lee Harleson. Since the other recent graduates of Bret Harte have remained either in or near Angels, we concluded that you probably know all about them. We hope that in some future report we may have a more complete account of our alumni. Yours cordially, THE ALUMNI EDITORS. ...af 4953... The Fremont Party HE FREMONT PARTY left the Mississippi basin in 1843 to make observations under the direc- tion of the United States Topographical So- ciety. Their trip took them northwest through Oregon and then. southward across the Modoc Lava Bed-s and the Bflack Rock Desert of Nevada to a desert lake which Fremont named Pyramid Lake. After spending the early part of December here, they made their way south to what is now Carson Valley. The Indians here advised them to turn west if they expected to cross the summit of the Sierras into California. At that time it was a common belief that the Sacramento River had its source in Nevada or Utah, and this party had set out to chart its course through the mountains. It was the dead of Winter and the depth of the snow forced them to abandon much of their equipment, including a small cannon which, it is reported, may still be seen where it was discarded. Due to the indeliniteness of their route they were forced to scale several subsidiary mountains before they reached the main range near the Carson Pass. From here they followed the American River and eventually arrived at Sutter's Fort. After a few months of recuperation the Fremont Party was able to resume its exploration of California. -qt 20 ig..- I Scouting 'Parties sa ss s an 2- B. Cooper V. Lillie L.

Damon: Bret Harte Student Body The Bret Harte Student Body is the leading Progressive organi- zation of the school. It has a membership of nearly the entire en- rollment of the school. This organization heads nearly all of the civic and athletic activities of the students. It finances sports and presents educational features for the pupils. Regular meetings are held at which time the affairs of the students and their activities are discussed. Oflicers hold their positions, to which they are elected by the students, for the entire school year. Those people who are now hold- ing office are: Annabel Redding, presidentg Catherine MonteVerda, vice-presidentg Ambrosia Colendich, secretaryg Wesley Slavazza, treasurer, Russell Dragone, sergeant-at-arms. The withdrawal from school of Delvina Taylor, followed by that of Mamie Sayer, who succeeded Delvina to the office of treasurer, led to the election of Wesley Slavazza to that position. At present he is proving himself to be very capable in that capacity. These officers are aided by the student council and by the various standing committees. This year a new system has been adopted which has greatly in- creased the educational value of the student body. At each meeting a program of educational material of high quality is presented by the student body program committee and by the different classes. The student body also sponsors scholastic and athletic societies af- filiated with state bodies. This organization not only promotes better feeling and under- standing among the pupils While in school, but it also prepares them to become better citizens when they get out into the business World. -..if 22 B...

Ecu: Girls' Welfare League In order to get more enjoyment from their four yea-rs in camp, the girls of the Bret Harte Party have established an organization which meets regularly under the guidance of Miss Grace. After all camp business has been attended to, a program, arranged by a com- mittee appointed at the preceding meeting, is presented. These pro- grams not only afford relief from camp duties but give the girls an opportunity to display their talents. As oflicers the girls have elected Bertha Thrower, president, Thelma Benigar, vice-president, Marguerite Egan, secretary-treas- urer. To keep the members interested in all camp activities points are given for everything done, such as helping with programs, donating, bringing flowers, or serving on committees. Each division of the party elects an executive who keeps the points of each girl in her division. At the end of the year the points are totaled and pins are awarded. All girls with live hundred points receive a bronze ping those with seven hundred and fifty points a silver ping and those with a thousand points get a gold pin with a guard. Once each year a convention of all the leagues in the Bay Section of California is held. Each league is entitled to two delegates. The girls attending the convention are those with the highest number of points. This year our representatives to the meeting held at the Oakland High School were Bertha Thrower, Vivian Lillie, and Annabel Redding. Any problems with which the girls are confront- ed are discussed at such assemblies, and possible solutions are offered. The customary social functions of the year are a Christmas party for the girls and a reception, usually held in May, for the mothers. ...gf 23 H..- - i ,:.,.n1.l.,p.. .. .1 N +. f fi- v N. 1 N-L ww' -' 1 lt' ,k , 5 g ,L iz' 7 mr ,qtfwib a- f-1,, 1. gf. -fr .5 . , gg, ,1 ,aw '. -v- Af '-V .,,1.fft. - rf .1 .

Eight of these members are elected by classesg each class is allowed to elect two members while the presi- dent and vice-president of the student body are ex-officio members. The president acts as the presiding officer while the vice-president serves as secretary. This year the seniors were represented by Vivian Lillie and Raulin Lagomarsinog the juniors by Thelma Mal- ispina and Oliver Garciag the sophomores by Marjorie Blazer and Frank Gorhamg and the freshmen by Delida Dragone and Reginald Osborn. Annabel Redding was the presiding oilicer and Catherine MonteVerda was the secretary. The purpose of the Student Council is to advise the student body, after careful consideration of the merits of new measures to be pre- sented to them. The recommendation of this board carries a great deal of weight with the students. Any question which comes before the Student Council and is not approved by them is usually rejected by the student body. The members of our Student Council this year have served faithfully all year long. Under their leadership and guidance we have overcome innumerable obstacles in our paths. We feel that if the students next year and in the years to come are for- tunate enough to have as helpful and eflicient a Student Council as we have had this year they should be most grateful. -'ii 2416'- Scoutingi'Parties s s s s va FIRST ROW: R.

Stone A Bret Harte Instrument Club With the beginning of this school year a new and interesting ac- tivity was added to our school routine. It was the organization of the Bret Harte Instrument Club. At our Hrst meeting we elected our ofiicers who are as follows: Mamie Sayer, presidentg Raulin Lagomarsino, vice-president, Ambrosia Colendich, secretary-treas- urer. There are now about thirty members belonging to the associa- tion under the direction of Mr. Berry. It was so arranged that all members could obtain instruments. An agreement was made for those people who did not own instruments that they might buy them and pay by monthly installments. Our Hrst semester was devoted entirely to instrument practice. At the beginning of the second semester the band was organized. It was planned to have band practice every Wednesday evening, but due to some conflict our evening practice was dispensed With. The next plan was to have an hour class from eight to nine in the morning three days a week. In that Way all members were able to attend. At the present time the band is rapidly progressing. We have been asked to play for three high school functions, namely, Public Schools Week entertainment, senior play, and graduation. We are all wishing the band a great deal of success, and We hope that its members will continue to be prominent in many activities. r'Bl25i9+'- L 4.11 .Ii Li.. f A , , 1-1 la' 2 4 413 v..4 . 3-. v,. 4 , , '. .', .l . :qi-4 41- fx ', fa.-'-' - .I lv.. .1 .,,. fi.,- 'FE 4 T.

Robertson California Scholarship Federation The California Scholarship Federation is one of the most im- portant organizations of our school. The Bret Harte High School Student Body has been a member of this federation for many years. This organization offers a method of honoring those pupils of the high school who put forth special effort to achieve higher scholastic records. A student, in order to become a temporary member, must have an average of ten points for a semester. Points are figured ac- cording to grades as follows: A counts three pointsg B counts one point. Each school semester is divided into three six-Week pe- riods. If at the end of a semester a pupil has an average of ten points for three periods, his name is inscribed on the honor roll and he re- ceives a C. S. F. pin. If, however, the pupil fails to make the honor roll one semester he must return the pin until he has succeeded in regaining his place on the honor roll. In order to become a per- manent life member of the C. S. F. a pupil must succeed in making the honor roll six semesters out of the eight semesters which make up the high school course. One of these semesters must be in the senior year. As a reward for this achievement the pupil, upon graduating, receives a large life membership pin of the C. S. F. and a special gold seal on his diploma testifying to the fact that he has graduated with scholastic honors. -'Ef26if4 - Scouting 'Parties s s s s s FIRST ROW: B. Lagomarsino, N. Merdalo, J.

Beers Boys' Basketball The basketball fortune of Bret Harte has waxed and wanedg the teams have been on the crest of victories and in the rut of defeats, but have steadily advanced. The type of game andindividual spirit have progressed from the rough and tumble toward a more skillful style and a more sportsman-like conduct and spirit. Bret Harte al- ways plays to win but is not out for blood, as the old expression goes, and is always welcome again even in the stronghold of its greatest rivals. The past season witnessed many more defeats than victories, but the teams have an honest alibi as they were compelled to play all their games away from home due to the lack of a home floor to play upon. Bret Harte is the only high school on the Mother Lode that does not have the convenience of a building in which to practice and play. The A squad, composed of Norman Tanner, Slavazza, Brans, R. Dragone, Jaich, Garcia, and Beers, won both games against San Andreas and thereby stayed out of the league cellar. ' The B and C squads were not so fortunateg although they played some close games they did not manage to score a win. Unless diilerent playing arrangements can be made, the interested public will still be compelled to travel to see the home teams play, and we fear this will result in loss of interest. - 6l27l9e- fall: ' r , 5 1 ' .-A .-J fixlfffl' T114 'nw m- J . 4., qu 'M vw, gala ,, I: - ., TI d59.,X.,- ..

It is safe to say that the actual number who will train and participate in the events is probably but a small fraction of those photographed. From all appearances a large number of them exhausted their energies in their race to have a front place in the track picture. It takes perseverance and work to train for track events-greater perseverance in the face of the incon- venience of lack of lockers and hot showers than most individuals possess. With adequate equipment, probably no sport offers greater in- dividual physical development than proper training in track. How- ever, the boys in the physical education classes have not been required to wear gym suits, and interest in training has steadily declined. The school has had good track teams and has made several Mother Lode records, but the lack of consistency and perseverance in training has led to the failure to live up to the standards previously set. B.ret Harte has the best field in the Mother Lode region and the league track meet is again scheduled for the local ground. With this advan- tage Bret Harte hopes to be able to escape the cellar position. The possibilities of taking a place against schools of our own class in the meet at Davis are as yet unknown, but we hope to be repre- sented there. -'El 2315'- Scouting TdTl'l65 my ra an bb ab FIRST ROW: W.

That year the team captured the Mother Lode trophy and lost to Auburn in the inter-league playoff. Since that time the sport has al- ways been very popular and our school has never fallen below second place or at least a tie for second. Out of the thirty-two games played since the C. I. F. competition started Bret Harte has won fifteen and lost seventeen games. While the 1934 season has not been as successful as have former seasons, Coach Auten has the consolation that nearly all of the play- ers are from the lower classes and, judging from the showing made this year, they should go far towards a championship in another year.

Blazer Girls' Baseball Baseball seems to be the chief interest in the field of athletics for girls at the Bret Harte High School. Lack of proper facilities has in a large measure prevented full development of other sports. However, as a result of much enthusiastic response from the girls, considerable has been accomplished in baseball. During the regular physical education period the girls are grouped according to their interests. In this manner they are able to practice under supervision. The competition has been confined to interclass activity, and but little attention has been given to interschool games for girls. The only outside competition was provided this year on Armis- tice Day. Through the co-operation of school oilicials, the two high schools in the county, and the American Legion, a pla'yday was held on the Bret Harte High School grounds. This provided a means for friendly competition between the two schools. In the various Held activities teams were selected to represent each high school. The customary ofiicials were in evidence to pre- vent any disagreements. However, there was no antagonism what- ever as only the most friendly spirit prevailed. The Bret Harte girls succeeded in defeating their opponents from Calaveras High. -'El30l9'- Scouting Tcl1'1fi65 rr rv av PP rr 'TX V. Thorpe, A. Ryland, A. Redding, A. Colendich, E. Russell, L.

Next in importance to baseball was basketball. The high school grounds are equipped with basketball courts, but adequate facilities are not available for the proper development of this activity. The girls are handicapped by the lack of dressing rooms and lock- ers. In many instances they must enter the games in their street clothes. In spite of these drawbacks they have carried along with considerable enthusiasm and some development. The only competition offered them this season was during the playday previously mentioned. As Was indicated, the representative teams competed for honors. B'ret Harte was not so fortunate in this contest. Pitted against a team which had the advantage of much training under ideal conditions, they were hopelessly outclassed. Yet the spirit of the game was not lessened because of the one-sidedness of the contest. In addition to basketball and baseball there were other games played. The most outstanding principle reflected in this playday was the spirit of friendly rivalry displayed by the students of both schools. This fact alone would warrant the continuance of these contests, and we hope that plans may be made to establish an annual playday. . -.gf an is-- The Donner Party lTH THE HIGH peaks of the Sierras looking forbiddingly down on them, the Donner Party suffered one of the worst tragedies of history on the shores of Donner Lake in the winter of 1846. This party, numbering thirty-one, had started hopefully from Springfield, Illinois, for far away Cali- fornia in April of that year. The number gradually increased as they traveled along, but, unfortunately, un- ity was lacking and the party's strength was decreased as many members deserted during the first hardships. At Fort Bridges after much serious debate the party divid- edg the majority went the longer way and safely reach- ed California, while the minority took the Hastings Cut-off, believing that it would save them approxi- mately 300 miles. Though the strictest economy was practiced the party came face to face with starvation, and it was necessary for two members, C. T. Stanton and William McClutcheon, to go forward for relief. Stanton's return in early October restored the party's hope and vigor. Despite all optimism winter made its appearance a month earlier than usual and hope gave wa'y to despair. After several unsuccessful attempts to cross the summit, the party was forced to return to Donner Lake. Although four expeditions were sent to aid them only eighteen of the original group survived the ordeals. -eEl32l9 - Tales of Town and- Trail PP av VP Melones I stood one recent night on a bridge whose concrete arches span the Stanislaus River, at a point where that stream at certain seasons remains no longer a river, but where its waters pile up a storehouse from which are drawn power for the lowlands and water to irrigate a thirsty valley. I leaned on the rough wall of this bridge and saw reflected in the shim- mering face of the river a million stars of heaven, and twinkling across and amongst them other stars, man-made, which light a stamp mill on the hill- side above the bridge, electric lights of an old and famous mine, long dark. I listened to the steady pounding of the stamps, throbbing so potently in the breast of a tiny valley, which had been quiet for years. Of myself and the river and the million stars, I asked, What is it then that brings life here once more, where but a short time since all the houses were empty, the town all but deserted, and the nights very, very still ? My reply came quickly, but from whence, I cannot say. Perhaps the stamps spelled out the answer. Maybe a bright flicker of stars and twin- kling lights and lapping water gave me a telling hint. It might even be that I knew e'er I asked the question. The answer is the magic word Gold. Gold, the very life-blood of these hills. Magnetic gold, that drew men here in a rougher time, when the arched bridge was unthought of and when only stars and the hushed glovg of camp fires were reflected nightly in the Stanislaus. Gold, the pass- wor - I closed my eyes, I opened them to find myself carried back year by year to the very birth of this spot's history: a few rough shacks along the river, a tent or so, some scattered lights on higher ground, as of glowing lanterns, at the nearer camps, men visible seated around their bonfires or busy preparing a belated meal, rude beds laid down in the open, some already occupied, rockers and long-toms suspended from bush or tent-rope, an occasional shirt or pair of sox, some miner's weekly wash, the fleeting aroma of coffee on the air, a hearty laugh, a rough song, and through it all a faint murmur of mixed voices in several tongues. It was all very natural, very familiar, as though I had been there many times before. Was I then part of this and this part of me? I struggled to free myself of some spell. With a desperate effort I recalled the password: Gold-the magic worker. With a jerk I roused myself. Again I was standing on the bridge. The stars hung low and mingled their glitter with that of yellow lights from the hillside above. The meandering Stanislaus flashed and sparkled. Around and through me the clump, clump of the stamps echoed. I was back in 1934. The same factor which brought life, wealth and fame to the hills of Calaveras County in the late forties and years following is again playing an important role in the rehabilitation of a depressed generation. Gold-the magic word-using its power to instill new life into a stricken country. Gold-spelling the salvation of labor to many, putting food in their mouths, rings on their fingers, and gas in their automobiles. CARMEN TINDALL '34, ---ef 33 lar- C4 44 44 Tales of 'Town and Trail lust Another Story Down the narrow deserted street of a picturesque, little old mining town, two small children raced to the stone steps leading to the quaint hotel which still retained the iron doors and shuttered windows of its early mining days. Here an old man sat smoking a pipe and gazing dreamily at the abandoned buildings surrounding him, with their air of desolation marked b'y the closely barred doors and windows, col- lapsing roofs and cover of thick dust. The old fellow, Uncle Jeff, as he was fondly called by the natives of this little ghost mining town, was rudely interrupted from his reverie by the shouts of the sun- tanned youngsters who threw themselves at his feet and called for a story. You will tell us a story, won't you? begged Sally looking up into his face withga pair of bright blue eyes, sparking with eagerness, while six-year old Tommy grasped the back of Uncle Jeff's chair with a grimy hand and waited for him to begin. It was Uncle jeff's pastime to reminisce on the romantic days, which he once knew, for the chil- dren he loved so well. So, with a feeble hand held up to silence the earnest cries of his little listeners, he slowly replied: I reckon I've told you just about all the stories I know, but- Oh, tell us about bandits an' holdups,'l Tommy exclaimed, jump- ing up and down excitedly. Uncle Jeff smiled at the little fellow and kindly said, Well, Tommy, you can have your bandit, and this time it will be Joaquin Murietta. I have told you about this bad man before, but today I will tell you about the excitement he caused when he visited this, our own town. He paused for a few seconds, silently puffing on his pipe. Right here in this town P Sally's eyes flew open with amazement. Uncle Jeff continued, Yes, Joaquin wandered through this coun- try quite often and just when folks wasn't expectin' him. He had a way of slippin' into places and gettin' out as quick as he came and. then laughed because he had fooled the Americans, 'gringos' as he called them. Again he stopped and pointed a trembling finger down the street to a dilapidated- building whose faded bronze-plated sign indicated that it had once been a saloon. There's the place he came to one night and upset the whole town. Oh, tell us more, Sally pleaded. -..gf 34 jg.. Tales of Town and Trail s is ss Well, a group of us old timers was sittin' right here in this very spot, talkin' about the rich gold strike which had been found that day, when the sheriff and a posse rides down this street toward the old saloon. Now this sight was so usual in those days that at first none of us paid much 'tention to them until we noticed a crowd of the miners, from down at the old brewery, following them up. So bein' curious like we joined the rest and finally came to the saloon. By this time, we knew that Joaquin Murietta was the cause of all this excitement. It seems that Joaquin was seen and recognized by someone when he rode into town, and- when the sheriff was informed he set out to catch the man who was terrifying the whole country. When we got to the saloon the sheriff sent some of the men to surround the place and then he calls for Joaquin Murietta to come out and take his medicine. Such a change as come over this town! Everything became so quiet and not a man stirred,-not even Joaquin came out from the saloon as everyone expected him to do. The sheriff calls out again and when no one an- swers, the crowd rush inside but Joaquin is gone. Well, the sheriff and his men searches that saloon from top to bottom but still can find no trace of Joaquin. He had just naturally vanished into thin air. By this time the sheriff was beginning to think somebod'y had fooled him, when one of the men calls from the cellar that he is Wanted there. There was a dash for the stairs as all us curious miners crowded into the cellar to see what We thought would be the object of our search. Imagine everyone's surprise to find a tunnel leading to the house across the street. Every man there knew as well as the sheriff that our clever Joaquin was probably miles away, laughin' at the way he had again outwitted the 'gringosll' Gee, Tommy uttered, wide-eyed with astonishment, he must have been a pretty smart bandit. Didn't they ever catch him? Oh, yes, Uncle Jeff replied, but that's another story and I'll save it for another time. Thanks, Sally answered. Don't forget, we'll be back tomorrow for that other story. , After fondly watching the two children run down the street, he again turned his weather-beaten old face toward the distant green hills, and his thoughts drifted to the da'ys when the historic little town was a roaring mining camp and he was a gay young miner whose ambition was to capture the bold and daring badman of those days- Joaquin Murietta. -J EAN RAGGIO '36. -..ef 35 15..- .4 44 44 'Tales of Town and Trail Mrs. Pioneer News of the California gold rush had reached the little eastern town of Laneville. Every day strings of covered Wagons carrying the sole possessions of their owners-eager, grim-faced men and women -rolled down the dusty little main street with the lead oxen pointing their noses westward. One of these schooners, drawn by four strong mules was driven by a slight, pale woman. Mrs. Blair had sold her small, non-paying farm, and leaving her two small children with relatives, had joined the mad throng and traveled toward that illustrious land filled with hopes and aspirations. Several months later found a vastly different Mrs. Blair. Sun and wind burned, her face deeply lined by pain and suffering, but still with hope ftrue, not such high hopes as formerlyj she worked day in and day out on the little claim she had staked on Angels Creek. The whole creek was fairly bristling with claims. People in all walks of life were to be seen panning or busy with pick and shovel. The rich were there endeavoring to gain more wealth, the poor were there because of necessity. Young and old, rich and poor, weak and strong, they all throbbed- with the lust for the precious metal. Mrs. Blair had just about given up all hopes of ever finding pay dirt on her claim. Oh, she had found some, but only enough to urge her on. Too, she must remember her children back home. They were her big reasons for this struggle. All this was running through her mind as she washed a panful of gravel one morning. Suddenly she heard raised voices coming from the claim above her. The owner had hit a small lead yesterday-perhaps someone had offered to buy it. For a moment all was still and then a gun was fired. The quiet became ominous. A man had been killed, but the West just shrugged its huge shoulders and went on prospecting. What was one man's life when there were so many to replace it? Mrs. Blair straightened up very slowly. She was tired but she must stick. She just had to. She gathered her tools and mounted the little hill to the spot where her tent was pitched. just across the divi- sion line a family by the name of Judson had their camp. This prox- imity afforded Mrs. Blair company and protection. , She noticed that the Judson outfit was silent, and guessed they had gone into Angels for supplies. She needed a new piece of screen for her sluice box, and after a hasty look around to see that everything was all right she started for the town that had grown so famous in such a short time. ...Er 36 jg..- Tales of Town and Trail ss ss ss Angels was indeed in her glory. Every other business establish- ment was a saloon which did not suffer from want of patronage. From these issued the notes of various-voiced nickelodeons and- occasionally some generous old timer could be heard declaring Drink's on me, at which call every bar fly within two blocks would come running. The general merchandise stores had a healthy trade as did the two blacksmith shops and three hotels. A dusty haze, caused b'y the con- stant movement of plodding oxen, hung over the street. The assayer's oflice also was the scene of a continual flow of humanity all day. Having purchased the required screen and a few groceries, Mrs. Blair turned her unhurrying footsteps towards home. She noticed a cloud of smoke hanging low and decided the judson's had returned, but she couldn't account for such a large fire. She hurried a little faster now, becoming a bit anxious about her camp. As she topped the hill an icy chill went through her with the speed and effect of a streak of lightning. A sob broke from her lips as she stumbled forward to a smoldering pile of ashes that now repre- sented her all. Eventually the Judson's returned and took Mrs. Blair into their care. They all concluded that some careless passerby had dropped a match into the dry grass, thus starting a fire which swept everything in its path. When she fully recovered from the shock, Mrs. Blair set about with a pick and shovel to clear away the debris in order that she might put up her new lodgings. As she shoveled ashes, bitterness filled her heart. Had she suffered agonies on that terrible stretch of dry plains on the way out--for this? Why hadn't she pitched over the side of the trail down into one of those terrible yawning chasms of the Rockies if she was coming to-just thisl She stood staring dumbly at the place where she had uncon- sciously dug a small hole during her meditations. Dimly, as if trying to pierce a thick veil, little shiny gleams of yellow light stretched up to her wondering eyes. At last their meaning struck her. Could it be- yes it was! It was! Gold! Hers-all hers! Although she was beside herself with joy she didn't shout Eureka, in fact she didn't shout at all-she just dropped down on her knees and thanked God-and cried. Thus it took hope and despair, success and failure to conquer this West of ours where the weak were trampled under and only the strong- est survived! -JOYCE KURTZ '34. ...gf 31 tp.- 41111 U-1 111111118111 Jwuuu.. 1 1..11 11, .1, -111 1131 1' 11 11 X ,1 1- X 1 1 W11! 1 ,1 11- ' .1 W 1111!

Taking passage on the old steamer 'Paul Pry,' I landed at Stockton the next morning, and at six o'clock of the same day boarded one of the six-horse coaches of the old Sisson Stage Company and started on the sixty-mile ride to Sonora. I shall never forget that ride as long as I live, bumping over rocks, into chuck holes, and through blinding clouds of dust and sweltering heat. I was sitting on the seat with the driver, 'Missouri Bill', who told me what he would do should we be stopped by robbers. Near the end of his tale he said, 'Say, do you see that hoss fly on my off leader's ear? You just watch him'. With these words the lash of Blill's whip shot out and flicked off the fly without touching the horse. 'Now', said Bill, 'that's what I'd do to any son-of-a-gun who tried to hold up this stage. Before he can get his gun on me, my lash will take him between the eyesg next it will go to the backs of m'y leaders, then - good b'ye, John to the robber, and the treasure is saved.' Without the experience of a hold-up or witnessing Billis dex- terity with his whip on a robber, I arrived in Sonora at six o'clock that evening tired, hungry and dirtier than ever before in my life. The next morning, after getting a kit of tools, comprising a pick, shovel, crow-bar, sledge hammer and gold pan, and accompanied by my brotherjim, I took the train to Jackass Hill to take up the life of a pocket miner. That evening I moved into a cabin with Dick Stoker. The fol- lowing morning, while Dick and I were at breakfast, Jim burst into the cabin with, 'Billy, if you expect to make anything pocket mining you've got to get an earlier start than this, looking around isn't going to dig out any gold. Shoulder your tools and come on and I will show you a place to work', and turning to Stoker he said with a grin, 'I'm going to break him in on the Van Houghten'. U 'Well, Mr. Gillis', said Dick to me, 'there is a lot of quartz on the Van Houghten and, as gold pockets are found in quartz, perhaps you may find one there'. With these words jim and I started for the place of my future mining operations. Arriving on the ground Jim said to me, 'Now, ...gf 38 lg..- Tales of Town and Trail ss is ss Billy, here's a vein of quartz, there is room enough to find it. Take your pick and start in by digging out those blocks of quartz. As you dig them out break them with your sledge hammer into pieces about the size of a walnutg while doing this keep a sharp eye out for the gold that might be in them. Put some of the broken rock into your pan and wash it in the ditch. If you fail to get a color in your first pan, don't let it discourage you, get another pan'. By noon I had pounded out quite a bit of rock and washed about a half dozen pans and all I had to show for my work was sore muscles, blistered hands and my fingers all cut by the rock. When I reached the cabin, covered with dirt and reeking with sweat, Dick greeted me With, 'What luck?' Showing him my hands, I told him of my half day's labor. 'You certainly have got your hands into a pretty fix. Wash the dirt out of the cuts and I'l1 put something on them'. I rested until the next morning and when I went to work I wore a pair of gloves. When I reached the claim I hit the rocks just hard enough to crack them. I had been working about an hour when I pried out an extra large one, and, coming down on it with a mighty whack, it came apart with a sort of whine and there it lay before me, held together by strands of coarse gold. I was so excited that I picked up that boulder and carried it the Five miles to the cabin. When I burst in at the door, I startled Dick out of a nap by yelling at him, 'Hey, pardner, how's this for a prospect? When Dick's eyes caught the gleam of the yellow metal his excitement nearly equaled mine. My 'clean up' from this rock amounted to a little over seven hun- dred dollars. I found nothing for three months, so I finally aban- doned the Van Houghten and moved to another locality on the Hill, and at jim's suggestion went to tracing gold on the surface. jim gave me instructions on how to look for gold on the surface and then left for Sonora. At about three in the afternoon I got a few colors and decided to wait until Jim got back to help me with what I thought was a real discovery. When jim saw what I had called gold he exploded with, 'Well, I'll be darned! Three Hy specks', and with- out another word walked away. Thus went my discovery . One might conclude that experiences similar to that of Mr. Gillis are common to pocket miners. -VEOLA THORPE '34. -M39 19-M 1... M11 w M 1 11 L1 1 1 ummm M. H+ ' ' 'ara-W, .

M- ' A 5.11 -as cc cc cc C1-361165 of 618012372 and Tfdil The Old Freighter I was looking over old curios in a museum when I came upon an old freight wagon and, according to notations listed there, the wagon was made in Valley Springs by local blacksmiths. Some of the lumber was hauled from mountain sawmills, but the bulk of it was imported from without. The wagon traveled between West Point and Valley Springs, a distance of thirty-five miles, and, since the team averaged about two miles an hour, it took three days for a round trip. As I stood looking at the wagon my mind wandered back to the days when I was a 'young boy and often saw the freighters, snapping their blacksnakes to frighten the horses to greater speed, struggling along the rough, muddy roads. The two head horses or leaders picked the way: next were the pointers, with bells on them to warn approaching teams on dangerous mountain roadsg then came the wheelers, who were usually picked for their strength as all heavy tugging and pulling fell to them. How well I remember how perfectly those horses were trained to their positions, an example of which is illustrated when a sharp turn was encoun- tered in the road. Since the tongue of the wagon only went as far as the pointers, and a chain extended from there to the leaders, this was easily accomplished: one pointer started off in the right direction while the other jumped the chain, thus holding the wagon in the road. Too, the horses were quick to obey orders, the driver had only to shout gee or haw, and the horses went to the right or left respectively. In my musings my eyes returned to the wagon before which I was standingg they rested on the huge weight or chuck block hanging on the end of a chain at the rear of the wagon. I remembered that this block dragged along behind one of the rear wheels, and when the wagon was suddenly stopped on a hill, the wheels lodged against the block and the wagon was instantly stopped. Next I observed the leather boot swinging at the sideg this was used as a container for the castor oil can, the oil from which was used to grease the axles. As my glance wandered, I saw the jockey-box Where the driver kept all the necessary tools and a few of his personal effects. Just above the jockey-box I saw instead of ordinary reins only one line, or jerk-line, reaching from the driver's seat to the lead horses. When I thought of the hazardous mountain roads that had to be traversed, I marvelled at the skill of the driver who could handle his spirited team with one lone line. Thus ended my tour of the museum, and I left with a refreshed mem- ory, as I had just about forgotten that anything like a freight wagon had ever existed.
