Redding THE SKULL THE SKULL DElJIClATlCJN We, the students of the Calaveras Union High School, respectively dedicate this volume of the Skull to the people who have made it possible for us to attain a high school education. V THE SKULL FOREWORD HE HIGH SCHOOL, as an educational institution, has long been considered with an attitude of bewilderment and perplexity by many of us who have either been misinformed or not informed at all of the high school curriculum. The studies and activities of the students in the past could have been collectively represented as a huge question mark to the casual visitor. This was possible on account of the mystic atmosphere that surrounded them. Much emphasis was placed on the work of the student, while at the same time very little emphasis was placed on informing the public of the internal affairs of this institution. Today, however, it is generally believed that there has been a marked improvement in the knowledge of the public concerning the activities and studies of the high school. It is therefore appropriate, in order to increase this knowledge, that this volume of the Skull have as its theme The School Proper. And with this theme it is sincerely hoped that this Skull will partly, if not thoroughly, explain the many bewildering phases of high school life. V SKULL STAFF ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Skull staff wishes to express its gratitude to the members of the faculty who have assisted so faithfully, to the students who have responded so loyally to all financial drives, to the advertisers whose names appear in the latter pages of this book, and .to all others who have extended a helping hand for the sole purpose of making this volume a satisfactory accomplishment for the year of 1934, THE SKULL ,aa-riff Tl4E FAiClJL'TY MR.

U. H. S. in quest of higher learning. When the customary initiation was over, and the classes were organized, the Freshmen Showed that they were go-getters by raising a considerable sum of money by sales, dues, etc. Although nothing really exciting happened while as Sophomores, we were by no means forgotten, for we held our place in the list of events. While Juniors, we gave the Seniors a social farewell in the form of a picnic, During this time wc were continually adding money to the class treasury. During the Senior term, we presented a play entitled The Laughing Guest,'l which was Ll Success. And now that our high school career is about to end, we look back to it with regret. The future looms up before us-a great sea of uncertainties, the pastvpleasant memories of C. U. H. S. It is therefore fitting that we who are graduating bid the faculty and Students of this high school farewell and sincerely wish them good luck in the coming years.

From days to come when life is sweet And all the world is at our feet, From distant days toward which we bound, When you are famed and I'm renowned. A swell, exclusive Ladies' Shop Is labeled KTWILLIE GOMES, Propf', And, stepping in to shake his hand, We find him sleek and bald and bland. A clerk, ROY STEWART, shows us round Obscure, unfamed, and unrenownecl, A coach resplendent parts the throng, Heralded by cheering loud and long: For from it bows the President, EVAN HALL !-in huge content- How richly LOIS, his spouse, is gowned, Oh, well, youlre famed, and I'm renowned. A fat policeman ambles by, Woonkow GoMEs!-sure as I am I, And what's that he has in pawn? PHYLLIS ZWINGE and an angry JOHN, She ran him down I will be bound, As you are famed and I'rr1 renowned. We step within the Courthouse door To hear the lawyers rant and roar, Is that VAL,S voice we hear afar, Defend DICK SMITH at the bar And all the audience confound? VAL'S quite as famed as welre renowned! THE SKULL The band is playing in the Square A strangely unfamiliar air, We stay our steps to listen, and We hear announced-SEAR's Band But in LARAWAY,S toot the tune is drowned, You're sure you're famed and I'm renowned. The schoolbell rings, the lines troop in, We see the teacher dour and thing CLEO EKwALL! Bless my hat! That sparkling CLEO should come to that! Some things without a doubt astound, When you're famed and I'm renowned. We rashly taxi round the park, MERV. WINKLER-written on the ancient ark. When We behold MERVYN at the wheel, We tremble for our health and weal, But all he does is dent the ground With your famed self, and me renowned. Society goes purring past- There's Annie WINKLER, by none out-classed. There's SALLY and her poodle dogs! There's ROBERT in nifty golfing togs. There's OPAL, plump and smartly gownedl They bow and smile, for we're renowned. We take in STRUCKMAN'S matinee- MYRTLE is starring there today. Then Dancing DANNY holds the stage, Gay, debonair, despite his age, The public idol long since crowned- Tut! You're not famed, nor I renowned! THE SKULL . A cinder settles in my eye, . I hail Doc MORSE careening by. He flourishes his handkerchee Demands a hundred dollar fee And gets .three-fourths of it at least When you are famed and I am fleeced. Down the street in a gay newstand, I catch a line from a foreign land. MELVIN LLOYD, minister to Rome, Speaks his voice in a certain toneg Has simply fired the world around If you're famed and I'm renowned, We take a bus to Santa Clare, HOWARD HATLER collects the fare While tiny ELDA across the aisle Displays a million dollar smile To TREEN who peddles popcorn 'round, Though you are famed and I'm renowned. Loud music beckons us in a door, WALT PODESTO still calms the roar With a reputation known in every cityg Beside him warbles our popular LOMBARDI, Those two have held the world profound You're not famed, nor I'm renowned. We blink our eyes at a tall trafhc Cop Using a whistle E, WINKLER,S not a flop, Now he hails a speedy goggled guy HOWARD LITTLE, bless my right eye! Thought the street a curving race course mound Yes, you're famed, but I'm not renowned! THE SKULL A peaceful church door bids us in, Sihing, we enter to avoid the din. Behold! High up so tall and fair BERT BLAKELY dressed in a reverend ai-r His hearers catch the saintly sound Not I, but he has become renowned! Thither far from common sight A tiny shop bedecked with posies bright, All glittering in the sparkling rays Behind a dainty counter EDITH says, Flowers for sale, so much per pound. Bless us all, we are renowned. We'll leave the future thoroughfares We'll quit the future balmy airs To be the you and I again, Whose years are only eight and ten, And with our class to graduate When you're not famed and I'm not great V THE SKULL THE SENIOR CLASS WWLL E, the Graduating Class of 1934, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make these solemn bequeathments.

O-n every Monday morning the students met in assembly. At this time announce- ments were read, student business transacted, class programs were given, musical pro- grams were enjoyed, and, no doubt, the most interesting were addresses by outside speakers, such as representatives from colleges, writers, and foreign lecturers. These talks have proved to be very educational and instructive. We feel that these people have brought us valuable information and hope that such a policy continues.

Edward Hertzig At the first of the year the Skull Staff was organized under the supervision of three faculty advisors: Mrs. McFalI, organizing and constructive advisor, Miss Cruden, literary advisor, and Mr. Husband, clerical advisor. Under these competent advisors the Skull Staff has strived to make this Skull a success. THE GIRLS' LEAGUE URING the year the Girls' League has been guided by Valora Schrack, President, Victoria Bongiovanni, Vice-President, and Evelyn Markwood, Sec- retary-Treasurer. These girls, under the supervision of Miss Peterson, have been very faithful in striving to make a stronger organization for the Girls, League. This organization has endeavored to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and higher ideals. The road that the girls choose in their high school days will be the one followed through life, that one aiming for the highest goal. The Girls' League aids them in choosing the right path. Among the many activities that took place during the year were a few outstand-- ing ones. At Christmas, the girls, with the aid of the school, distributed several welfare boxes among the needy. Every year we have an Athletic Night at which the girls entertain the public with various athletic games, stunts, etc. The members wel- comed the Freshman girls and others with a Freshman Luncheon. It was given during noon hour and a short program entertained the guests. Lois jenkins and Annie Winkler were elected as our delegates to attend the con- vention of the State Girls' League association in Fresno this year. In March, four of our girls, Valora Schrack, Maudadele Ludden, Virginia Carr, and Floris Reinking, escorted by Miss Peterson, attended the Older- Girls conference held at Richardson's Springs. Patricia Zierdt went as a delegate from the Hi-Y Club. MINOR ORGANIZATIONS During this year there have been many minor organizations among which are the following: U. S. History Open Forum Club, World History Club, Spanish Club, Library Club, and Oral English Clubs, Each has been definite in purpose for creating more interest and co-operation in class room work. Organization work promotes originality and individuality in the students and pre- pares them for the future, laying especial stress on self-reliance, independence, and personal initiative. , THE SKULL 22 STUDENT BODY -SKULL STAFF -GIRLS' LEAGUE THE SKULL CCDh4N1ERC2IAl.'DEF'AI ThAEI4T HE commercial department this year has confined its work to three courses of business training: shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping. Approximately 100 students have enrolled in the various commercial classes. The class in beginning book- keeping has been larger than usual and has made excellent progress throughout the year. For the sake of economy in administration of the school no attempt was made to organize classes in commercial law, salesmanship, or other commercial subjects. A new commercial curriculum is being worked out however, which will make it possible to offer a longer period of training in stenography and bookkeeping and broaden the students' knowledge by giving supplementary courses in other commercial subjects. It is hoped that this new curriculum can be put in effect next fall. ACIAIJEN4IC EJEPAiRTh4EPJT The academic department gives training in English, Latin, Spanish, history, mathea matics and science. These are the subjects considered fundamental and essential in a general education. It is recommended that students take four years of English. This course covers a study of literature, composition, news writing, typical reports and other work of a practical nature. An effort is made to develop a taste for good reading, and to create skill in writing. The Latin and Spanish courses are now alternating from year to yearg Latin I with Spanish II, and Spanish I with Latin II the following year. A class of 25 students has been enrolled in Spanish. The curriculum in history includes courses in social science, world history, and history of the U, S. More than fifty students have been enrolled in the World History class this year, These three courses constitute majors necessary for graduation. General science, biology, and physics have been offered in the science course this year. Physics alternates with a course in Chemistry from year to year. The mathematics course includes first year algebra, plane geometry and a class in vo- cational mathematics, which reviews arithmetic and various formulations useful in shop and mechanical work. THE SKULL BOYS' VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT HE Vocational course for boys covers three years of shop. Two years include mechanical drawing. Vocational Mathematics and vocational English are also required in the course. The first year's work in the shop is devoted to wood working, making of joints, simple furniture, picture frames, etc. In the second year of shop, the students do elementary metal work, using copper and tin. Making letter openers, ash- trays, canteens, funnels, cookie cutters gives interest to this course. In the third year the student is allowed to select some article that he wishes to make, either in wood or metal. GIRLS' VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT This is one of the most important and practical courses in the school, Its curriculum comprises a completed course in home making. Classes in home decoration, cooking, sewing, and home-design have been conducted throughout the year. A year of home economics is required for graduation. Thus every girl receives instruction and information about foods, nutrition, dress making, and other matters relative to keeping a home. -, Q ,MSA 4 'W THE SKULL C,Al.A'VEI ArS The soft moon shines on the Calaveras River, And my heart wakens to its story of love. The water changes to pools of gleaming silver, Beautiful, reflecting the bright moon above From the rugged slopes of old Bear Mountain. Trilling birds sent their sweet songs to me And there form nature's misty fountains Comes a song that I dedicate to thee. CHORUS Now again the moon shines on the river, Oh! darling it makes me so lonesome for you, The waters are again bright pools of silver. Dearest, is it that you are lonely too? How I recall the night we strolled along the shore, Where we stood 'neath the sweet-scented pines. You cheered me with songs I hear no more Your small hand clasped so tightly in mine. O'er the hills came breezes perfumed by the flowers That deeply shadow the murmuring creeks, Yes, it was there we lingered for many hours And there were flowers-the red roses on your cheek CHORUS Now again the moon shines on the river Oh, darling, it makes me so lonesome for you. The waters are again bright pools of silver Dearest, is it that you are lonely too? THE SKULL I 3 ? .yywwwmwilsfw Aw T N1lSS LCJYrALfTY IN PEIRSCDTQ IR RANDOLPH, Lady jane Walker gasped, do you realize what you are asking me to do? I will never turn traitor to King George. My heart is with him and my countryj No never! How dare you to ask me to do such a thing? She was shocked and her voice showed it. Red sparks had sprung into her blue eyes. She raised her head haughtily and wheeled about, leaving the puzzled Sir Randolph standing alone, his hat in his hand. He was ambarrassed and angry. He had failed completely to win this independent little woman to his ideas. Holmes, show this man to the door. This was said with positive authority yet not angrily, to one of her servants standing near his mistress ready to follow her slightest whim. Lady jane Walker seldom lost her temper. Her sweet disposition had soon won her scores of friends, neither had her riches spoiled her. Her kindnesses and been innumer- able among the sick and needy people of the slums, A truly heroic figure-this small old woman, who lived alone with her servants in a huge white house of Bosoton. Her hair fell in shining white ringlets over her forehead and around her face. It seemed to soften the line about her mouth and eyes, II Late the same evening of Sir Randolphs visit Lady jane sat alone, seemingly in deep thought. Suddenly she jumped up and half ran to her bedroom, It did not take her long to pack a few belongings. Quickly she scribbled out a note to a trusted neighbor. This she folded, then glanced about her, and a minute later she was hurrying toward the home of her dearest friend. She stumbled along through the darkness. The snow had began to seep through her shoes. She paused for a brief rest, for the box she carried, although not large, was very heavy. After catching her breath she again hurried on her mysterious mission. When she reached her destination she raised the big old English knocker on the door and let it fall, A sleepy eyed servant answered the knock, vainly endeavoring to hide his annoyance at this sudden intrusion. When he recognized the unexpected visitor he looked so surprised that Lady jane laughed aloud, and her voice rippled out into the chill night air. It was a pleasure to hear her laugh, and when she laughed all who heard her laughed also, The servant smiled broadly, bowed low and led her into a spacious room. Please hurry, Hawkins, she said quietly, tell Lady Anna it is urgent, and I simply must see her right away. The servant nodded and left the room. He glanced over his shoulder to look once more at Lady jane. He was troubled by her actions. Never before had he seen her act so queerly. Lady Jane seated herself in front of a huge fireplace. She stared into the dying embers. Once when the coal crackled she started as if in a dream. She glanced down at the note clasped tightly in her fingers and a tear rolled down her cheek. It was at this juncture that Lady Anna entered the room, She walked quickly, and yet with a certain dignity that she rarely moved without, over to Lady jane. My dear, what is it that brings you out on this cold night alone? You, THE SKULL why, jane, you are crying. What in the world is the matter? she asked, worried and surprised. Lady Janes lower lip quivered. She made a struggle to keep back the tears. I guess you think I'm foolish, she said through the salty drips that persisted in running down her pale cheeks, but I'm not. I'm leaving, Anna, no, I'm never coming back. I'm going away tonight to-to Canada. No one knows it yet, I haven't told a sole but you. And you are never to tell anyone where I am or why I left. I don't even know the reason myself, was the answer. Sir Randolph came to see me today. We talked a long time before I realized there was something amiss. I was careful what I said and tried to change the conversation when it reverted to England, Then he started to praise the colonies and colonists. He said how wrong, unjust and cruel England has been. He even dared to say that-that King George is dishonest and unfair and that he doesn't do anything he promises. Yes, Anna, he tried to turn me against England, the country I lived in and loved-and the country I always will love and stand by. Her voice shook as she continued. I could never stay here now, Anna, never! That is the reason I've come to see you. Will you please do a very great favor for me?,' Without waiting for the answer she continued: You know how I have kept a great deal of money for the poor, don't you? You know that once a week I visit the slums, the poorer part of Boston, They have grown to wait for my visitss. From now on they will wait in vain. This box I have brought with me is full of gold coins. I have more at home. I am going to leave it all in your care, Anna, every bit of itg I'd like you to give it to any and everyone that needs it, that is all I ask. Will you do that for me? She found it difficult to talk, the tears were streaming down her cheeks unheeded. Of course, I will, Illl help all I can, but won't you reconsider? Please stay and fight it out? begged Lady Ann, Fight, Ann? No, I could never do that! This was said with such unfaltering posi- tiveness that Lady Anna knew it would be useless to try to persuade her. When Lady Jane left, her eyes were red and swollen, Lady Anna cried bitterly as she watched the fading form of her most understanding and sweetest of friends disappear in the darkness. They had been playmates in childhood days. They had been companions all through life. Now they were Qleavingj to see each other again. In her hand she clasped a note she had promised not to read until Lady jane was far on her way. Lady Jane trod wearily up the steps, what queer world she lived in! That very morn- ing she had made plans for the improvement of her spacious mansion. She was going to leave it now. Oh, how she hated to go. In an hour though she would be on her way, never to return. She heard the big old grandfather clock strike twelve. She must hurry. At this moment one of her big collies rubbed hisvnose in the palm of her hand. She knelt and pulled the big dog into her lap. He whined and his big brown eyes half closed as she caressed him and his long beautiful tail wagged slowly, happily. He was satisfied as long as his mistress was near him. Flash,l' she whispered, do you want to go with me? He wagged his tail more rapidly and raised his ears. That was his Yes. THE SKULL Lady jane stood up, Go then and get into the coach. The dog glanced up at her and then trotted off obediently. He understood, Fifteen minutes later Lady Jane and four of her picked servants were ready to leave. The servants carried' her belongings to the coach while she ran out to the stables to say good-bye to her favorite horse. It neighed to her as she approached, then trotted up to the fence. Lady Jane crawled under the fence like a child and stood beside her little black mare who lowered her head to 'be scratched, Nancy, she sobbed, Lady Anna will take good care of you. She likes you almost as well as I dof' Nancy nudged Lady Jane and pulled at her pocketsg she was looking for sugar, Lady jane never visited her horse without it and this time Nancy received a very large portion as a farewell gift. With a last hug Lady jane left her prized possession and Nancy neighed and tried to call her back, She watched the large coach leave and her head drooped as it disappeared as if she knew she had seen Lady jane for the last time. Lady Jane was gone. How would fate treat her now? III Lady jane Walker and her servants spent a long and tiresome journey to Canada. Forty days had elapsed since they had departed from Boston until they finally stopped in a little town of Wheatrey just over the border line of Canada. Lady jane had left much of her riches in Boston. She had abandoned her acres and acres of land which had covered a large portion of Boston. During her journey she had given a handful of gold for only a loaf of bread and a tallow candle. Her funds were very low. She found it impossible to buy anything but a plain little white house surrounded by only few acres, but she knew she would be just as happy in this as any mansion she QHalledj had ever been able to afford. She would get another horse, visit her neighbors and then try to forget her friends and animals which she had left behind. IV It took Lady Jane just two weeks to get settled, at the end of that time she could not resist to aiding the poor and needy again. She worked vigorously and untiringlyg all the children in the town loved herg women wished to be her friend and men admired her. Her ninety-ninth birthday came and went and still she worked. She did not look her age, Although her hair was white and her face slightly wrinkled she did not look a day over fifty. She was very active and ran more often than she walked. V One sunny afternoon she carried a large box of provisions up a high flight of stairs of one of the poorest families of the slums. The stairs were rickety and wobbled as she climbed them. She reached the top more tired than she had been for many days. She deposited the box, and despite her weariness, talked cheerily to the worried mother and parted, and whispered words of encouragement to the thin and hungry children. They THE SKULL followed her out to the head of the stairs. She waved a good-bye and hurried down. She was about twenty steps from the floor when she slipped upon a banana peeling, unseen until too late. She slipped and fell to the hard fioor at the foot. They picked her up-an unconscious heap. She had a broken leg. The bone was splintered at the hip. VI When Lady Jane opened her eyes, a few hours after her terrible fall, the brightness had died from them. She had aged so that one would hardly have recognized her. She was ninety-nine and nine months old and she almost looked it. She seemed to have shriveled into an old woman just since the accident. The best doctors available were called to save her but it was useless. Scores of anxious people gathered outside the hospital, scarcely daring to hope for her recovery. Inside Lady jane Walker was breathing her last. She was having her last battle against life and death. The shock had been too much for her. A few minutes be- fore she closed her eyes forever, she raised herself upon one elbow and sighed, A nurse sitting at her side heard Lady jane gasp and a moment laLer whisper, My only regret or one of my biggest regrets is that I will not be able to live to see my hundredth birthdayf' With these words and a slight shadow of a smile for the nurse she fell back on her pillow. Her eyes flickered and closed, The faint smile still rested upon her lips, The world had lost a noble woman but heaven had gained a virtual queen. MAUDADELE LUDDEN V THE SKULL Tl4E DESSERT' SFlACIK OHN WAYNE was by nature an obstinate person. His short height, pug nose, and gruff voice gave any observer of human nature this impression. So it was little wonder when the caravan train pulled up at Provo, Utah, in '52 that Wayne pro- posed to cross into California, the land of gold, by way of a southerly route. The others pleaded with him not to risk his life and that of his wife and children, but he was un- moved. Right there john Wayne, true to his nature, abandoned the caravan and planned his own route. The mad desire for gold had seized Wayne as it had others, so he joined a caravan to California in hope of the fulfillment of his desires. His desire was so great that he sought a shorter route to the gold fields. His mad passion had caused him to leave a comfortable home, and the security of a caravan. As Wayne lolled in front of Perkins General Store at Provo his reverie of wealth was interrupted by Cy Perkin's curt voice. Hey, john! When ya goin' to hire your guide and start for California? I have obtained my guide and I reckon we will start tomorrow at daybreak. All our needed supplies have been cared for, Say, who's your guide? C We have Old jake Sullivan, His credentials from other employers show that he has the necessary knowledge. U Well ya wanta be careful. Bad country. Hope ya meet with success. We will, Cy, no need for any doubt as we are fully equipped and are rarin' to go, So long, Wayne. 11 Goodvbye, Perkins, thanks for all your help. Well, l'm preparin' to go in the morning. So long. The next day dawned with golden rays of the morning sun streaming down upon a small lonely ox-team pulling out of Provo. Holding the reins was Wayne himself. By him sat Old jake Sullivan, a man of about fifty, whose sun-tanned figure was suggestive of a stalwart warrior. Inside the wagon was john's wife, Molly. A woman of moderate figure her kind face beamed on her children, Helen and john, both about thirteen years of age, They were busy arranging the interior of the wagon, setting aside each indi- vidual supply. They camped that night after a journey of about ten miles. A camp fire burned bright, and around it the evening meal was eaten, Afterwards stories and jokes were discussed as well as a report of their progress. The country was dotted with sage-brush and there a small stream appeared to them, by the path. Days passed. The trees and even sage-brush were no longer seen. Streams were no longer seen by them. Now only remained the vast desert and dried-up water holes. At THE SKULL last they had entered the southern part of Nevada, a desolate plain. Supplies, however, held out and there was sufficient water on hand for them. During the trip the camp fire had become the center of any home life or social function. Here stories were exchanged until the camp fire had been reduced to glowing red embers. On the occasion, Jake Sullivan, who had endeared himself to the group, told this story: In the year of '32 Sandy McColl, a Scotchman, went into a desert in Nevada in search of gold. He was a typical'desert rat' as the expression goes. For ten years no one received or heard a word from him. Therefore he was generally given ,up for dead. But in the year 1843 he appeared at Provo, with some large gold nuggets and a tale of an unbelievable house on a range of mountains near the California side. Besides the gold had ont been mined there but was stored in this house. The house also contained a spring and a large food supply in this bleak desert. He stated, however, that no one would find his house. His boastful talk proved his undoing and on one dark night he was murdered by some cold-blooded rascal. His nuggets had been taken from him and thus the loca- tion of his place was a mystery, and still is to all. His house became known as the 'Desert Shack.' I think there is a good deal of truth in this story. As they progressed the country grew into nothing more than a desert. No streams were seen by them now. Wayne's supplies diminished, rations were cut in half, and water was used sparingly by all the five members of the group. During the trek now a solemn silence brooded over the group. The oxen now made only seven miles a day, The following conversation took place between Wayne and Sullivan one day as they sighted a range of hills ahead of them, john, them thar hills holds part of our hope, he remarked in an odd sort of tone. There are two ranges of hills to cross before we even hit California. This one we see in front of us is first. There is also another. If this one fails the other is the only hope for us. Beyond it lies the vast desert unbroken almost to the coast. If we do not find water either here or over at the next range, we perish. However, we must keep up our courage in face of your wife and children. Wayne silently cursed that fatal day at Utah when he deserted the rest. But he merely answered: Yes, Jake, we must keep up our courage for their sake. The ox-team drew near the hills, and a lingering hope for water to be found filled the breast of each one. The coveted hills were reached at last at dusk. On the sugges- tion of Old Jake they retired early to strengthen themselves for the morrow's hunt of water. As dawn broke over the hills its rays showed a preparation for the hunt. The camp showed signs of bustle here and there as everyone was preparing for the search. Finally, with a canteen of the precious water and a few dry ears of corn as their ration for the day, they set out into the promising land, The group split-up, the children with their mother, and Wayne and Sullivan each going in opposite directions. Every available place was searched but at noon when they met no water had been found to renew their fast diminishing supply. But in the after- noon, though the hills were literally scoured by eager eyes for signs of water, none was THE SKULL found. That night when the report came there was a sombre silence at first and then Sullivan spoke to the group. Straight ahead lie higher hills. I am certain water will be found here. Though it is a journey of two weeks in our present condition, it is our only hope. Are all of you willing to continue to there? Aye! shouted the whole group. Then, said Sullivan determined, we shall continue on. Later that evening, Jake Sullivan drew Wayne aside from the group and remarked, john, I'm none too sure of water being there, but we must take a chance for the rest. Yes, ,murmured Wayne visualizing the wise consular of Provo, who warned him against this that fatal day he deserted the caravan-train. Once again he cursed his stubborness. Days passed by as the ox-team slowly plodded along. The mountains began to loom into the party's view, but misfortune still pursued them as Helen became ill with a burning fever. Water was imperative, but now only a few quarts of the precious fluid remained. Old Jake Sullivan told the group to keep up their courage for in perhaps two days the hills would be reached by the party. The water and food had reached a minimum. This time the search must not fail. That evening the groups met in silent prayer hoping for water and that He would not despise their humble petitions. The boiling sun added to their distress but this was offset by the fact that directly before them lay the hills covered with sage brush and a few trees here and there. Now hope rose up among them. Tomorrow perhaps water would be found and their thirst quenched. That night, though silence reigned among them practically all the time, was the most cheerful one for months. Even Helen who had been tossing with fever for the past weeks in bed brightened up at the news that water might be found. Once again they were all claimed by peaceful slumber and dreams of babbling brooks and murmuring streams were probably not uncommon among the members of the part that night, At daybreak all but Mrs. Wayne and Helen started out on the hunt of Water. A canteen held half of all the remaining supply of water, and that was barely filled. The group must not fail. If they did! Mr. Wayne, jake Sullivan, and Jack Wayne split-up and combed the hills. They were to return at night with their news, good or bad. Morning with its hot sun drifted into the boiling noon-day sun which in turn gave way to the sultry afternoon sun, But yet water was not found. Sullivan and Wayne met on their way to the wagon. Both mused over the result of their news when they came to the rest. But suddenly their thoughts were cut short by a piercing cry for help on a near-by hill. Forward they ran to the direction of the outcry. Help!' cried jack Wayne when suddenly he felt himself being shot down into a deep pit. Previously he had taken a step on what he thought was ground, but here he was. It was dark here and Jack groped around. Finally his eyes became accustomed to the darkness and-why there was food! He excitedly shouted his discovery to his father and Jake Sullivan who were now approaching. Come here! There is food! Look! THE SKULL The two older men jumped down and as soon as their eyes became accustomed to the darkness they sought to explore this cavern. Proceeding back a small spring was found by the trio, and then suddenly it dawned upon them. Why this was indeed the Desert Shack. Truly it was a virtual Eden in this vast desert. At the front a skeleton frame- work was pushed open by jake Sullivan. It swung out revealing the vast desert now darkened by the oncoming night. The canteen was filled and water brought homeward in the direction of the camp. That night happiness reigned throughout the group of people. The next day they trekked up to the hill and entered into this underground abode. The next few hours were spent partly in eating and exploring. A shout from Wayne sent everyone scurrying in his direction. There in plain sight of all lay several gold nuggets- Sandy's gold. Wayne's desire had been fulfilled and in the meantime several more nuggets were dragged out of a niche in the cavern's wall. There, in plain sight, lay a small fortune. For two weeks they camped there. HCl6ll,S fever abated and she was soon in good health, Preparations were made to return to Provo, Utah, and join the next east-bound caravan. Food and water was stored away in large amounts. The food consisted mainly of dried corn and other dried vegetables. The oxen were fed and watered in preparation for the long trek to Provo, Finally everything was ready for the group's departure. With a feeling of regret they left their hope of salvation after first covering up the cavern's holes. They made good time and in two months they arrived at Provo. As the caravan pulled in at Perkins' Store they were greeted at the step by Perkins, himself. Well, I knew you would turn back at last. Pretty luck to come back to us whole I thinkfl Well, Perkins, I reaped a fortune. Not in gold, Wayne? . Oh! No! No! I just acquired a great remedy for stubbornne-ss, said john, with a very sly wink at Old jake Sullivan who had just regained his familiar chair on the store's front porch. . CARLIN TREAT. THE SKULL FICSFITIBIG' DEF5EAiT ARRIVED AT THE Double Bar Ranch about two-thirty in the afternoon. There I was received by John Wilson's wife, a stout and robust woman who was extremely hospitable and sociable. I stayed here until about four-thirty and talked with the jolly matron. A desire to ride the trails I had ridden eight years before and to view the magnificent mountains and valleys began to burn within me. I expressed my desire and soon found at the barn a horse saddled and ready for me. I swung into the saddle and my horse cantered forth. I had not known on which trail I would be most likely to find john Wilson, but I rode off to the north and as luck would have it, I came upon the old man sitting at the head of a trail. He was looking far below into the Great Valley, of the Double Bar. This was the first time I had seen fohn Wilson for eight years and I shall never forget, He sat at the top of a winding trail, his head was bent forward and his stub- blue eyes peered from beneath his hat. He gazed upon the hundreds of head of stock in the valley below, His huge and browny hands pressed hard on the horn of his saddle. My eyes traveled from his head to his feet. Was this the John Wilson I had left only eight years before? Now deep lines curved around his mouth and eyes. His face was haggard and worn. His beard had grown thinner and more gray. The shaps he wore were tattered and torn from years of hard riding. Father Time had, indeed, told his tale on the man. A thought came to me-john was seventy-yes, an even seventy. The man muttered something, pulled his eyes from the scene upon which he feasted and struck his spurs deep into his horse. The animal plunged down the trail, and the man in the saddle rode even better than he did it at nineteen. At the bend in the trail we met. He pulled his horse down on the animal's haunches. An expression of mingled surprise and doubt was on his face. For a moment nothing was said. Then because I had seen him a few minutes before I spoke in a laughing voice, Hello, Johnf' Hi, stranger. By jove, I didn't know you for a minute. How are you? He spurred his horse next to mine. He reached across and seized me with both hands, shaking me vigorously. For a minute we conversed there on the trail, then john said, Well, old man, let's hit for homef, It was three days later when I was out riding his range with him that we paused for a moments rest on the slope of a hill, overlooking the Great Valley. The morning was beautiful. Spring spread its glory over the hills and valleys. Spring had kissed every tree, bush, and flower. It had clothed the hills and valleys in green. The beauty of it all was like a fine sweet wine seeping into our very mind and soul making us dizzy. It was here that John Wilson unfolded the story of his life to me. Though we had been friends for years I had never known the true story of John's life. He stretched his arm out indicating the vastness before us. Then he spoke. THE SKULL Ed, you see that out there? You can see from here those cattle and the Great Valley. All my life I've been fighting defeat for that and now finally I've won. Fifty-five years ago in the spring of '78 my father came into this country and staked his claim. I was fifteen years old then. I was very young, strong and healthy. Trouble didn't mean much to me then. I could fight, and I would fight. In those days a kid was grown up at fifteen. My Dad and I worked hard. At the end of a few weeks we had built our cabin, barn, and corrals. We came into this country with fifty head of cattle. Little by little we built up our herd. The winters were hard but by cutting a little hay each spring we pulled through somehow. The cattle rustlers were bad and we'd been chasing quite a few cattle, but in '87 we were cleaned out completely. john stopped for a few moment. He cleared his throat and rubbed his hand over his beard. Again he spoke. The snow kept piling up and the blizzards were coming hard. Finally every cow and calf was gone. We had nothing. At the end of that winter we were piled with bankruptcy, drowned with debts. No matter though, for we still had our ranch and a good chance to make money. We kept on fighting, borrowed money from a bank in Big Bar City. John Wilson paused again for a moment. He never once took his eyes from the Great Valley below. I could not force my own eyes to have his face for a second. Pres- ently he drew a deep breath and I could see he was about to speak. Ed, we were like two corks in the ocean, we kept bobbing up and down. In 1900 my Dad died. I had a mighty hard row to hoe. Three years later I was married and five years after that my only son Kenneth was born, My wife and I have struggled through years of trouble. All my life, Ed, I've been fighting defeat and now I've a fine herd of over one thousand head of stock clear. I have never dispaired, but Ilve kept right on fighting defeatf' John Wilson touched his horse with his spurs and I followed him down the trail into the Great Valley. At last I had learned the true story of a great man-great in his dagged determination to win. Yet as we rode into the Great Valley, as we looked upon a perfectly gorgeous sunset, I wondered: How john really won? John's seventy, he has years, perhaps many years, before him. Has he really won? I consoled my questioning and uncertain mind with the answer, I hope so. II Because of ill health, my doctor had prescribed mountain air, long hours in the saddle, complete rest from business affairs, and plenty of sleep. This, therefore, was my reason for arranging a visit of many months' time with my old friend at his ranch. That was why I found myself living through a beastly cold winter and early spring up here in the Sierras. THE SKULL 1. . Outside the wind was howling and we could hear the rain pounding heavily on the window-panes. There was a silence in the room, each one occupied with his own thoughts. John and I were smoking. Johnls wife, Matilda, was knitting busily. Ken- neth was the only one absent from the family fireside, john arose, walked about the room for a moment, as was his custom when worried. He drew the shade back a little and apparently seeing nothing but the whiteness of the snow and the light of the bunkhouse, he seated himself once more in his chair. There was also a nervous expression on Mrs. Wilson's face as she glanced once or twice toward the door. 'Bout time Ken. was home. I'd think, and then john sank deeper into his easy- chair and puffed harder on his pipe. Yes, don't like to have the youngster out tonight, this far from his wife. Within fifteen minutes the mother's prayer must have been answered for a tall husky young chap burst in the door bringing with him a gust of wind and rain. Shut the door quick and let's see the mail, commanded old John. Kenneth quickly handed the mail to his father and then rushed from the room. john squinted at the letter questioningly. Then, Hand me my specks, Tildaf' Obediently Matilda quickly thrust the glasses into his hand. With clumsy fingers he tore at a long white envelope, I took the privilege of staring at his face. Had his thoughts been written on the page they could have been no plainer to me. An expression beyond description passed over his face. For a minutes he seemed to weaken under a terrible strain. I noticed that his wife sent him one of those 'iWhat's the matter, john? looks. john did not see it. He got up from his chair, fumbled his letters, and stumbled from the room. I began to read a magazine to pass away the embarrassing scene, Neither his wife nor I spoke a word. just at that moment Kenneth came into the room. Then he asked, Mother, where's Dad? I think he went to his ofhce, Kenf' III john had been away for two days. His wife, at breakfast the previous morning, had informed me that her husband had been called away on urgent business. Consequently, I had to amuse myself. I read a great deal and began sketching scenes I had come across when out riding. john in the afternoon of the fourth day returned, The old man dismounted at the corrals and without a word tossed his horse's rope to the man at the stable door. He came toward the house, a forlorn and dejected figure. No smole was on his face, only a hard expression. A silence brooded over the household. For the remainder of the day I scarcely saw John. That evening I spent alone in the library trying to occupy my mind by reading THE SKULL books from the shelves of books around me. My efforts were all in vain for my eyes would stray from the pages of the book to the glowing red if in the huge open fire-place, My curiosity was bound to get the best of me, for, try as I would, I could not dismiss ohn from mv mind. Somethin Vl121Cl 'one radicall wron with ohnls business affairs. I fs 8 Y 8 Of this I was quite sure. IV It was a couple of weeks later, and the snow had begun to melt away, when I was out on the trails again riding with john. We pulled our horses up at the same spot where we had rested almost ten months before. Spring had clothed the earth in a gorgeous garment of green then,but now the Great Valley was silent and white. Only three cows and an old horse could be seen plowing their way through the snow. The bellow of a cow came to us through the stillness of the bitter cold morning, I watched the almost frozen animals as they trudged slowly up toward the cow-sheds and corrals. I recalled that johns great herd had long since been taken to his lower ranges. A few minutes passed before anyone uttered a word. john sat stroking his beard. His eyes were fastened on the great valley below. To break th silnce, I spoke. john, of all your ranges your favorite spot is here overlooking the Great Valley, isn't it?l' Slowly he nodded his head. Then he said, Ed, nine months ago, we sat on this very same place. Here I told you about the hard attacks Ilve pulled through. Do you remember, I said that I'd been fighting defeat all my life and linally I'd won? I shook my head indicating the affirmative, Yes, I said that, he continued, but a man can live and learn no matter how old. I've found out that if you keep fighting you'll always win-but a fellow never gets throughf, His grave old face loosened into a smile and lines curved deeply about his mouth. My last attack was pretty hard, but I'm going to pull throughfl There was a pause and I realized that john was about to reveal something very important. 'lEd, I've lost everything I had in the Big Bar Bank. Yes, everything when it went broke four weeks ago. That means that I've almost got to start all over again at this late day in my life. I still have my stock, ranch, and a few dollars in another bank. I'm lucky. I'm on the up hill climb right now. The road may be pretty rough in places, but I'll make it all right. I'll make all that back before I die, you see if I don't. Again john spurred his horse down the same trail we had ridden not so many months before. This time a smile was on my face and I was thinking, Thank God, one more victory for old john, and he-'s still fighting defeatf' ' VALORA SCHRACK. TIHE SKULL Social News FRESHMAN INITIATION HE THIRD WEEK of school proved most eventful for it was then that the traditional Freshmen initiation conducted by the Sophomore class occurred. During this week the bewildered Freshmen were forced to do all sorts of foolish and embarrassing things. The upperclassmen, however, are glad to state that the Freshies were the best of sports whom they are glad to have as schoolmates, On the last day of the week a program was presented which consisted of a number of absurd stunts by the Freshmen,and last but not least, a tug-o-war between the boys of the Freshman and Sophomore classes, the latter, after a few false starts, finished victorious. After the program refreshments were served under the charter oak by the Senior class. X J GIRLS' LEAGUE HALLOWE'EN LUNCHEON On Halloween the Girls, League gave a delightful luncheon in honor of the Freshman girls. The tables were cleverly and attractively decorated with candles, autumn leaves and novel little dolls. The appearance of the dimly lighted room was most inviting. During the luncheon a short program was presented which consisted of the following numbers: Two songs, The Ghost Song and Don't Blame Me,', by Bonnie Skinner and Helen Rutkowskig a recitation by Velma George entitled The Sunbeam, and a few words of welcome from the president, Valora Schrack. Those attending the luncheon declared it extremely enjoyable. THE SKULL THE ORCHESTRA THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department has given its services on various occasions for our school programs.

It is a game of tremendous appeal and almost any man who has played it is attached to it for life. From 1920 to 1930 football paid large revenues to the colleges. It brought pride to the students, stadiums to the institutions, and compensation to the coaches. Men and women who had never seen a college building on the inside went to a football game every Saturday. It was the thing to do. They liked it because there was something thrilling about the whole thing. It was the Golden Age of football, but after 1930 foot- ball suffered like everything else. There was a noticeable falling off in attendance, and gate receipts, but there was actually no decline in the real interest of the public. From now on big colleges have agreed to eliminate as many easy games as possible and meet opponents of equal strength. This may seem unfortunate to the small college, but it is the finest thing that has ever happened to the game. Football is bound to flourish, perhaps not from the standpoint of crowds or revenue for a few years, but from the interest and quality of the play. Alonzo Stagg, the Grand Old Man of football, for many years coach at Chicago University and now at the College of Pacific, said he was convinced that football gave a man all the qualifications he needed to fortify himself against the storms of life and the whims of fate! Students and alumni of the high school will be interested to know that the administra- tion of the school is cooperating with other high schools in the Mother Lode to reinstate football in our program of athletics under a B classification for next fall. BiASlCE1'BAiLL An active basketball schedule was enjoyed this year under supervision of Coach Turner. Graduation will cause many gaps in our ranks for next year as Howard Hatler, Roy Stewart, Evan Hall, Wilford Gomes, Dan Geary, and Woodrow Gomes will be seen no more as students in C. U. H. S.

U, H. S. Everyone showed a deep interest in getting teams organized to play at noontime. Students of the Calaveras Union High School realize that something would be lacking if they did not have an opportunity to meet their companions on the athletic field. This spirit of play, of rivalry, of competition, of winning from each other incites them to do their best. This year the girls worked in accordance with a new system under the direction of Mrs. McFall, The girls were divided in three groups. Each group consisted of students selected according to height and weight. Basketball is the most popular sport among the girls. Baseball, volley ball, tennis horseshoes, and tumbling are the minor games played by the groups. CALAVERAS MEETS BRET HARTE The Girls, Athletic Department of the Calaveras Union High School held its play day at the Bret Harte Union High School on November 11, 1933. Basketball, volley ball, and baseball were scheduled by the two schools. Calaveras Union High School won two contests and lost one. A The final score of the basketball game was -46 to 6 in favor of Calaveras. The volley ball game was won by a score of 24 to 4, The girls of Calaveras Union High were not so fortunate though in baseball and Bret Harte walked away with the game, leaving Calaveras in the dust with a score of 36 to 13. G5IRl.S' A'fPlLE1'IC NIC5l4T The Annual Girls' Athletic Night was celebrated this year on March 6. The evening of entertainment consisted of basketball games, tumbling stunts, a mock baseball game, a series of Olympic contests, and several other minor numbers. The spirit of play and wholehearted fun displayed by the participants seemed to please the interested spectators. This program was sponsored by the Girls' League under the direction of the Athletic Committee. THE SKULL VOLLEY BALL BASKETBALL BASEBALL TU MBLING TENNIS THE SKULL SUCZCIESS Success is not a work Without meaning or style, But it is a work of triumph That brings to me a smile. Some may laugh at it Or even to chance a scorn, But the man who has tasted success Is a new man born. He may have been unhappy Striving to seek the best, Killing his body and mind Seeking magic success. Success is not glory nor is It world-wide fameg But success is the good you do That put the failures to shame. Every man has his chance To live and die as he may, But success only comes once Before you pass away. So strive to live longer And work so hard for the best And in the end you will be rewarded By achieving greater success.
