BEVHAPPY If the world seems sad and dreary, And your heart is aching too. Just hum a merry tune and don't Let all the world seem blue. Just take a cheerful skip or two, To chase away the blues. Divert your mind from troubling thoughts, And dream of hapny news, Just try to find some other soul, Who's feeling grave and sad. And try with all your utmost will, To make his laughter glad, The world does give its shares of blues, And sadness to one's life. But when you're sad, try to be glad, Don't dream of care or strife.

Just before the bell rings for you to go The teacher starts to pass them out. You wonder why she is so slow. You get so nervous you want to shout. Then she calls your name out clear, Then in your heart you begin to fear That you will not get a Uonen at all. You get so nervous you want to fall. Cecelia Mansonen L8

CALIFORNIA I'Ne sailed the seven seas and the ocean blue, Journeyed to China, Japan, France, and Peru, And through all my years of sailing, when I shoveled coal and went a-whaling, I have never seen a land as beautiful to see, As California, the only state for me. California, the golden state, sunny and bright, The oeoole there are kind from morning to night There are trees, flowers, animals, and fish, And food which makes a delightful dish. Such is California, the state that is the best. I want California, you can have all the rest. A Leo Michelson L7 ' FOOT BALL Ring out the bells of Campanile, Swing wide the Sather Gate The Golden Bears come home from Troy With Southern scalps and tales of joy And we would celebrate: They put us on the shorter end And just begrudged a chance, Yet when the mighty tale was told The victor was the Blue and Gold, Come onl We Ugottan go and dance. . UA willing team,W they said, Nwould clay The best the nation hadgu They felt a little sorry for The size of the prospective score, And now thcy're feeling sad. So ring the Campanile bells And beat the drums of joy! The Bears are home from U. S. C., They clapped the rights of victors Upon the walls of Troy. Richard Whitmer L9

THE ARRIVAL OF THE GRAF ZEPPELIN e NIt's herein Everybody from Oakland, Berkeley and all a- round the Eastbay was gazing out over the Golden Gate.- There was a tiny speck with a hundred other specks about it. It was the Graf Zeppelin with many airplanes around it. The Zeppelin was the largest in the world and was on a tour around the world. I Finally it grew larger, and there in the sunlight of the setting sun it blazed--a great huge silver shape. It circled the San Francisco Bay, then it went down the San Francisco pe- ninsula, down and out over the ocean to Los Angeles. Then it went to the starting point of the trip and landed amid the cheers and cries of hundreds of people. Ktgggifi Harold Ballwanz H7 'Q Jang ' ' 11524 DOfWE RESEMBLE THE GREEKS? Every individual is influenced by the country in which he lives. The rain, the sunshine, and the toppgraphy of the land are bound to influence him. In Greece the situation is some- what the same as in our own California. The peninsula of Greece is a stepping-stone from Asia to Europe. It is placed squarely in the western path of civili- zation. As her coastline has many bays and estuaries, she has been encouraged to go to sea and trade with the neighborning countries. California's coastline is not irregular as that of Greece, and so our early settlers were more apt to be con- tented to stay at home. Besides, the heavy rains made the land fertile, and they could raise most of their necessary foods themselves. Galifornia's mountains are all in one area, allowing us extensive plains on which to grow our food pro- ducts. In Greece the rain is scanty and the country is rugged and mountainous, making the land especially hard to till. The Greeks had plenty of work to do and this made them very indus- trious and selfnreliant. ln Greece the sun shines most of the time and there is only a little chill and rain in the fall and early winter. In California, we have rainfall distributed in about the same way There are no great rivers in Greece and, as irrigation is needed for many of the fruits we raise in California, such a
