The mountain now is rimmed with gold, The sun has left its glow. And now and then a few at way clouds Are wafted by gentle blow. The golden glow stays with us still. Although the sun’s gone down, But deeper colors now are left For dark comes creeping on. May Wainwright A9 K A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN This musician is the king of all songsters , Oh, what beau- tiful songs he can sing’ He has an ashy brown coat, but his trousers are of lighter color of brown. Although he dodoes not compare, as to dress, with many birds, his songs make up for it. He lives in the southern states of the United States usually, although some times we see a stray brother or sister in the northern states. Relatives? Yes, he has many cousins who live in Brazil and the West Indian Islands, but they can not sing as their cousin of our own country. This cusician loves to imitate the cries of other birds and even the whistle of the neighbor boy. But suddenly he begins a melody of such wild and barbaric emotions of the human race, and finally he ends with a song that has thecharm of a Chopin Nocturne • Who is he? Why he is no other than our mocking bird. Shirley Mi liman B8 MOTHER What would we do without mother l It is true there are a few r who are forced to get along without her but you will find that those who are motherless, wish with all their heart they weren’t. When father comes home from a day of hard work, it is Mother who has a nice supper ready for him, and who cheers him, by her happy, peaceful smile. She has a pair of soft slippers ready for him to slip on his tired feet. Mother is always interested in what he has to say, be it about his work or what he saw on the car. She always seems to under- stand . Mother is always ready to sympathize with her chil- dren when they stumble or hurt their fingers, and never fails to send them out smiling. At night she cheerfully sings them to sleep or- tells them stories. In the morning when she gets them ready for school and fixes their lunch, after receiving their loving, gcod-by,e kiss, she watches them go down the street and thanks God for being able to be proud of them, ho clothes are appreciated more than those of mother’s make. You can always detect some extra work on them.. Such as a lace edging or neat tucks and ruffles. Often she must go without herself so that she might provide a new dress for her daughter, going to her first dance. Or she must go with- out something for herself sometimes, to buy a few Christmas gifts, and she always does it cheerfully. Marian Brazier A8 ’ Yl HAT WILL THE WORLD SAY? What will the world say, If everything goes wrong? Even the heart so gay, Would not last very long. Would she sit in solemn nood, And grumble loud and long? In that dreadful solemn attitude V hy not sing a, cheery song? And yet while the days are cold and clear. Is yet, there much tc say, Why do we long for ' things that are dear, In such an odd and curious way? ■What will the world, do? Will she he sad and tearful? The stars in so glorious a hue. Will smile and he cheerful. Hazel Cook A7 1 THE IfORKIHC STAR hear little horning Star, How beautiful you are. Away off in the sky. Why must you stay so high? Each morn at break of day, I se 2 you fade away Gently the dawn creeps over the hills, Shedding soft lights along the rills Ear t her and farther you seem to go. But to what place, L ! d like to know. And, now that you are less entrancing, I look to see the sunbeams dancing a Slowly you ' become leers bright, Giving leer, and less of light, Soon you will have gone apo.ee Into your o xm unk n o v .

This question is asked by many people who have not yet vitnessed a week-end in the forest. Camping, to me, is ’north while. It has its hardships, as well as its pleasures. Some people look only. for the hardships: such as lugging your food on your back; walking through mud that is knee deep; trying to make a fire in a sixty mile breeze; eating food that is full of ashes and dirt. Then night comes, to make your bed right on the ground Imagine that l Imagine also, trying to sleep with a rock, placed neatly in your back o rbe tween your shoulder blades; then after five ‘minute’s sleep, to be awakened by some (beastly rude) coyote rummaging through the empty tin cans. Camping is nothing like that. It is justashort retreat from civilization. It is wonderful at night to lie and gaze at the stars and listen to the steps or howl of some lonely coyote. A fe’ trips are bound to make anyone a lover of the great out-of-doors”.

These are some of its products which insure wea-lth and bounty. Standing on the Gold Ridge Mountains (and w.,1 1 are they named) is a beautiful sight for the human eye. Here a berm patch, and there an apple orchard- As the sun shows itself the last time in the day, but to reappear again, the fog comes closer and closer and thicker and thicker. Through the trees comes the fragrant sea air, sweeter than ever. Soon the sun goes down and the fog has enshrouded everything, in the meanwhile promising its ever lasting wealth to the val- ley. Well may it be called, the ’ ' Valley of the Moon , for that is the name bestowed upon it by Jack London and by which it will always be remembered „ Alice Mark A9 5 ones When there is a witn an umbrella THE RAIL sudden cloud-burst it is fun fOvT.ttc.. Every one o t o’: oofs suddenly c owe c t o : .i ' e .. .d runs for shelter. The very wise ai d lady hoists her Umbrella and says, ”1 told you so.” Votorists struggle with side curtains and tire chains. Very dignified old men become suddenly alarmed for the safety of their silk top hats and make the fastest possible pace for the nearest possible shelter. Sweet young things gaze at each other’s summer clothes and wail, ’’Oh, why did we go out at all?” The only ones who are happy are the very small children. They laugh at each other, at the rain, at everybody and everything in general and hunt for little sticks to float down the full gutters. When the rain is over people begin to come out look up in the air, hold out their hands and decide that they rail take their umbrella anyway.

He would never look ugly and was alwpys ready to obey orders. It ras a friendly horse and would hold his head erect, and look straight ahead. I reached town, end did air tne shopping ana. then parted fo ion . ' ' here vrsu dog in tne middle of the road. The horse suddenly stopped; he was afraid of the aog oe erase he was hit ten by one once. . I did all that was possible to do to start him but still he wouldn’t go, and he stood just like a statue. Then I switched him toward another road. Then he started to run me would look back to see if the dog were following him. He ran so fast that we, in the buggy, could nardly breathe. He was very excited and ran through crushes and across streams. When we reached home, my nephew and I were soaked mru.

JUST DREAMS Sometimes, I sit and dream of a pleasant income and a cottage pleasing to the eye and well-furnished where, when tired, I could sink into an easy chair with a victrola drag- ging my thoughts to gladder times, and a speedster with which I could ride into the country and there, finding a. shady spot I could either rest or make merry. Then with the cool even- ing air against my brow, I could drive home in peace. If time hung heavy, I could go to a theater with friends and after a pleasant ride home, I would be at peace with the rest of the world. Ezra Isanberger AS 1 THE ETRST TIME I MILKED A GOaT The folks had all gone on a vacation and I was left at hone to milk the cows and feed the horses and chickens. I didn’t like it very much, for I felt very lonesome. Mama and ■papa promises to be back in a week and so I tried to pass the time in the best way possible. Hear the cows I They know it is milking time and are marrying home. LookJ among the cows is the goat. She also feels the milk in her bag bothering her. Well I don’t know whether I can milk her because I never milked a goat before and she is uncommonly frisky. ’’Here Nanny, Nanny 1 ” Let me try to see if I can milk you. Now let me pet you, Nanny, and don’t get wild. 1 hat’s right .Nanny. Eat that mustard while I go and bring the pail. Here I am again,’ Now stand still while I milk you. The goat jumped around and kicked so that I thought she would never stop but got tired in a short time. When she got quiet I went to milk her and to my surprise she let me get a quart when bang } a kick and the milk splashed all over. I was so very angry that I could have killed her but did not give up. I tried again and again and finally succeeded in getting a half a pint of milk. Esther Cagnone A8’’’ COCOA-BET OIL ALL HOW IT IS LALE I visited the cocoa-nut oil factory not long ago and found out now the oil is made. The first thing I saw was the copra, the substance of which the oil is made. It comes mostly from the South Sea Islands. The natives are sometimes lazy and don’t gather the copra when it is time. They let it get wet and then the sun dries it. If kept too long in the sun, it is not as good as it should be. The first thing done to the copra is to have it all chopped and put in a big bin. It leaves the bin through a machine called the expeller, which presses out some of the oi 1 . The oil runs down a little trough, while the rest goes a different way to be ground as fine as meal. I saw some men at work getting the meal ready for an- other pressing. They had some trays on which a machine laid layers of meal. The men then put it between two steel rods pressing them, together with a tremendous force. This is the last pressing since all the oil has been extracted. The meal is fed to cattle. The oil is used in hucoa Butter, soa.ps and many other products p- Ivan Lawrence B7° 3 POOR PROmTIE H Don ' t you know dear child, :: said Mama Monkey to Brown ie s I think you ■ would he prettier if you were wh i t e ! 51 Suddenly, she spied a Bucket of wh it e paint, v wh ich one of the sailers had left on the deck.

We had forty acres of land in alfalfa and, as we needed two t earns, we hired two horses from Mr. Moore. He had a small place and didn’t need the team very much at the time. The horses’ names were Prince” and Jerry . They were dappled gray, weighing about eighteen hundred pounds each. I had driven them almost every day while we were put- ting up hay, so I was accustomed to driving them. When the owner sold them, he wanted me to drive them to town for him. I left home about eight o ' clock in the morning. Every- thing -went all right until I was crossing the railroad track in town when suddenly they began to run. As they were not going very fast, I let them go for a block; then I tried to slow down, but they gained speed rapidly, in spite of all I could do. Nothing would have happened had it not been for the tongue’s coming down. One horse jumped over it and broke it off short, leaving nothing to guide the front wheels. It was getting exciting and it was not long before things began to happen. The tire came off of the right front wheel and, with nothing to protect the wood, the felloe be- gan to break out, leaving the wheel to run on the spokes. I was near the curb on the left side- of Main Street whe n one horse tried to go on either side of a ford, which was standing in front of a real estate office. I pulled hard on the right line. All the wagon did to it, was to tend one fender, knock the huh -cap off, and leave yellow paint on the tl re . The wagon narrowly escaped overturning ; one could see ty the tracks that it had gone around the car on two wheels. Just before I got to fourth Street the spokes caught under the box and lifted the back end off of the hind wheels. As it did so, I fell between the side boards and the bottom of the box. The side board came down on my ankle and I was hanging in that position when some one caught the horses and stopped them The first thing I remember was that the doctor was looking at my ankle and the crowd was trying to tell me I was killed; my ankle was just sprained and was all right in a few days. The blacksmith fixed up what was left of the wagon and the harness maker repaired the harness, and the buyer bought the team, wagon and harness. Mr. Moore wished he had taken the team to town himself. The newspaper account was brief, just stating that a runaway had occurred at nine-thirty in which the wagon was somewhat broken and the youthful driver was thrown out but not seriously hurt.

So to my task I shall go. Although it he my worst foe, Dow, I shall s weep away, I guess, ’till the close of day. H P So much dust do I raise, It makes me stop sweeping to gaze, The ' golden sunshine is streaming Through clouds of dust it is b earning Visions, I think, I can see, H Tis Goodness it seems to me, It makes me stop frowning, From hard luck a downing And a thrill of new gladness Draws me out of my sadness, Until joys I now perceive In the dust, I once did grieve. Gertrude S tens land A9” THE JOYS OF THE; ROAD For those who own an automobile, the autumn and spring re the time when there is the greatest pleasure. But alas, or the poor unfortunates who do not have the means to own an au t o mo b i 1 e l Those that own an automobile may motor along the high- ways and boulevards , taking in the joys that nature has given us and that are so pleasing to the human eye, California affords many beautiful spots that beckon invitingly to the tourists. There are some rarer scenes to be had in the open country where the din and the roar of the city traffic is not to he found. In the country one may motor for miles and miles along the lonely, silent country roads and may receive a few humps hut the scenes are a compensation. One may hear the birds as they sing exultantly and see the squirrels as they hop in and out of the trees, looking for nuts to store away for the winter. The orchards in full hloom with their snowy white or pink blossoms are one of the scenes found in the country Presently there is a gnawing in the stomach and one comes to the realization that it is hunger. The trees v r ith ‘their wide, over- spreading branches help make a comfortable place to lie and forget about the turmoil and evil that pre- vail in every city. So are the joys of the roads partaken of by the owners of this wonderful invention, called auto- mobile . Bethie Bewell A9 n A RIDE TO BILES CANYON A few days ago, I went on a picnic ride to Biles Canyon. After riding out of the town, we went along a country road. The scenery on both sides of the road was not beautiful be- cause the grass was dry and the hills were bare, but .every thing seemed so peaceful and quiet. Here and there were farm- houses along the road and along side the hills. In the field cows coulcl be sepn reposing peacefully. Also on the hill were horses which were running races with each other. It seemed to me as I looked, at this scenery that there never was a city. After a few hours we arrived at our destination. There we stayed until half-past- five and were on the country road again just as the sun was setting. It was beautiful. Behind the- distant dark hills, a fiery ball slowly disappeared out of sight. After it had set, the sky was illuminated with a soft- gold light which faded to pink and then to darkness, I have seen many sunsets, but that one remained in my memory because it was out in the open country and not in the city where smoke and dust spoil it. It seemed to me as if it were the first real sunsel I had ever seen. Lillian Savola B9 1 It didn ' t look like much from the outside, but it was to tally different inside. Lonc , glistening arched passages supported by speckless walls pierced by the many entrances t,g the many little apartments within. Great, wide avenues sc: etching away in all directions as far as the eye could reach.

It seems such a common occurence that much heed is not paid to it But when one is especially watch- ing for it, --what a world of beauty one may see in it I The most beautiful moonrise I have seen was when it was in its de- clining quarters. T waited long and patiently for it. We saw the first heralding rays stealing over a point on the great mountains. Suddenly, unexpected- ly, a point of gold appeared and grew larger. There it seemed to pause for an instant like the Torch of God flood- ing the whole valley with a golden, warm light--and at last burst in its glory before our eyes. Karin Kieminen A9 ' THE LIVIITG TOWER Last year, while I was in Camp Meeker, I went on a hike to the Living Tower The scenery from the Living Tower was something that one would never forget. You can see for miles and miles a- ro und , The Living Tower is composed of four trees, that gr ew naturally in the form of a square. The trees reach a height of seven stories. A platform is the first story; from this there is a stairw ay that leads to the second story, a,nd so on, until you have climbed seven stories . After you have reached the top, you can see the train tracks that wind in and out for miles around. The scenery is very beautiful and interesting.

Paul Burnham A8 1 THE A9 PLAY On the evening of November nineteenth some of the pupils of the A9 class, presented a clever play entitled, The Obstinate Family . The parts were very cleverly taken by the f o 1 lowi ng pup i Is : James (butler)-- — ---- ---Fred Hall Lxiejf (maid)- ------- ----- --Pauline Kemp Mr, Harwood--- - -- — ---Theodore Gustafson Jessie. Mrs, Harwood — ---Karin Nieminen Mr, Harf ord- Laurie 0 jala Mrs, Harford ----- — • --- ----Margaret Ehret THE MINSTREL SHOW The minstrel show, given on the evening of October fif- teenth was an overwhelming success. It was put on the list as one of the most successful entertainments given by the pupils of the Burbank School The program consisted of two plavs;one of which was Mr, Bruce 1 s highly praised Knights of Darkness, The characters came out on the stage as negroes with instruments of various sizes and shapes made by the several individuals. After the Knights of Darkness play , Mr . Shallenberger staged his chow Both plays were highly applauded. Much of the success of the entertainment was due to the clever acting of Frank Eaton, who played the main part in both skits.

Our school is furnished with an up-to-date cocking room, with sufficient room to teach the girls. The classes which have cooking are the B7 , A7 , and B9. We learn to prepare many different dishes and to serve luncheons. Besides the course of cooking, the girls are also instructed in mursing, in which they learn how to care for the sick, in case of amy need. The girls of the B8, A8 , and A9 classes are givena course in sewing. These pupils learn to make their own clothes, and also garments for the Red Cross. Therece Nelson B9 ' i A, a -ETJ i hf SCHOOL GARDENING Two periods a week have been assigned the B? grade, a class of boys only, for gardening under the direction of Miss Cameron. The first work accomplished was cleaning off last year’s vegetable garden. We also trimmed the shrubbery and cultivated around ' the shrubbery and vines . At Assembly, Miss Cameron asked the students for bulbs and sweetpea seed. These have been planted according to di- rections apod next spring will prove our work. We hope the daffodils will bloom and be ah attraction to the school. A Japanese barberry hedge has been planted along the south walk. ' We have set out Spanish- broom, Scotch-broom, yellow .jasmine, laniana, Cotone aster, heather, plumbago, leonanrtia. Several boys, Miss Cameron, and Mr, McDermont went to the hills, and brought back wild ferns and flowering currant which were planted and are now showing new shoots. This is to bw a California wild flower bed. We have taken great care, and are greatly interested in our school gardening.. We hope the students will be very careful not to injure these new plants. r B7° Class THE BIRD MAH A very inte resting program mas given By Mr Hutchins in the Burbank Auditorium Mr « Hutchins is called The Bird Man, He gave a very interesting speech about the life of birds. Bub the past of the program I enjoyed most was when he sang like the birds. He sang the different songs of ' the different birds You would have thought a real bird was singing because he sang so well He also drew the pictures of different birds. While he drew them he told us of the homes of these birds and how they lived. The prettiest bird to me, was the bird of Paradise. He gave out two of the bird pictures as prizes to the ones who answered his questions about the birds. It certainly was a very Interesting even- ing spent there listening to Mr. Hutchins’ talks and songs of the birds VACCINATION When the smallpox scare came to our district, the order from the health office was either to stay home from school or to get va o c I na t e d , The topic of the whole school for a while was vaccinap tion. At first., nearly all were going to stay at home (it would be a good excuse.) Everyone was ei the relaying that he would not be vaccinated, or asking if it would hurt. How- ever, before the afternoon was over nearly all of us had bandages; the rest went home , When school work is not com- pulsory, the tendency is to he eager for school again, so every morning some of the unvaccinated would come hack, only to he sent home. After a few days the vaccination either ’ ' took 1 ' or did not ' ’take hut, in either case, it ' was soon forgotten and school work went on as before the scare, Mae Wainwright A9 PHYSICAL EDUCATION During this World War, thousands of our best educated men, who went to enlist in the a. my were turned down because of their physical health. When these men went to school, there was no such thing as physical education. For this rea- son, when they grew up to be men, some of them ' were round- shouldered and others were all stooped-over and their lungs were we alt, Nowadays , there are modern ways of schooling which make us stronger and ’healthier « In all the schools of our state Physical education is compulsory. It is a very good thing, because when you sit in school studying for two or three periods, it becomes tiresome, and when the period of physical education com.es, you go outside in the fresh air and move your limbs about fifteen minutes. When you go back in school again, you feel refreshed and more able to work. Elmer Bevert B8 LETDRICrS A jitney bus slippe ' on a pickle, An r ran over e man maned Hickle. He giggled, : I y Tor d.
