MAYO EDITORIAL ln editing the Spectrum this year an earnest endeavor has been made to give our readers a true account of school life during the year. Due to the splendid cooperation of everyone concerned, I think we have accom- plished our purpose. I wish to especially extend my thanks to the many merchants who have backed us up in our work this year as in former years, and who have made it possible for us to publish a book of this quality. It is my sincere desire that every member of the Student Body will patronize our advertisers. I wish to commend the Staff for the ex- cellent manner in which they have worked. The success of an annual does not depend upon the Editor-in-Chief alone. The work is ap- portioned to different members of the Staff who must do their part. They have cooperated with me at all times. , Accordingly, this volume is entrusted to the members of Compton High School with the hope that it will present to them a true pic- ture of the happiest days of life, and with the hope that in after years they will turn over its pages and look upon the pictures of their school days with pleasure. -I-Iarvey Wolski, Editor-in-Chief.

CLARK - SENIORS - President - Secretary Vice President Treasurer Representative Class Teacher lt's with joy that l speak of Kath- leen, Tho' quiet she's really quite keen, She's an authority on beaux, ln her heart really knows That Lawrence is true, tho' unseen. If one would clare mention what he knows of Rozelle His capers and so on with a young damoselle, But it would not be fair To tell everywhere, For Elmer and Helen might decide to rebel. Athletic and keen is Miss Rowe, Ahl the tales l might tell that I know, Of escapacles bold l've sometimes been told, When Miss Huse left her somewhere to sew. Page Eleven Page Twelve From Watts comes a fellow named W'olski, Were he longer he'd surely be tall- ski, He's quiet but demure, You can count on him sure, There's no finer young fellow at all- ski. lt's alto that Leda doth sing, And joy to our hearts doth she bring, She has big brown eyes, And a head very wise, But l doubt if she'd object to a ring. This Senior has friends Oh! galore, He doubtless thinks this all a bore, But his cheeks go aflame When you mention her name You surely must know I mean Stohr. Oh! there's Helen who from far away Hynes For Elmer in loneliness pines, You may see every day ln study and play How Helen works out her designs. From Bellflower comes our dear Frances, She's known for her thrilling ro- mances, A fellow from Tech She'took by the neck, He will now go along without Frances. There's a brilliant young fellow named Charles, His opponents by worcls he ensnarls, He loves to debate And then decapitate The fellow that argues with Charles. Then there's a maiden Daetweiler, l would warn him who tries to re- viler, She's quiet in a way But not every day, She's a terror when someone cloes riler. Here's to a fellow named Hap He's a likeable funny young chap, He's now learned to trust her, That winsome Augusta, And for her he's ready to scrap. Page Thirteen Page Fourteen There's a lad with the long curly hair With his blonde locks there are none to compare, He gives a Hehaw, When Gladys Reshaw, Rides beside him as he drives every- where. There's a slender young lassie, Esh- naur, She can be so sweet or so sour, She likes eggs and ham As well as a Sam, And she's often with him by the hour. l There was a young laddie named john, He loved a dark lassie-his sine qua non, But a curly haired lad Who worked for her dad, Sent John to the realm of oblivion. There's a buxom young lassie named Carver, l'm sure no one has endeavored to starve her, She's known for her joy, She's sweet and she's coy This same happy Evelyn Carver. There's another from Watts, that Grace Stead, She's one of the Senior's high bred, She says very little Quite non-committal, Not because she lacks brains in her head. There's a spectacled lad named Lockhart, He's the kind we all class as smart, He knows about bugs, Not much about hugs, Still l believe this young man does his part. To Verna l give loudest praise For her sensible, intelligent ways, She never decoys Any innocent boys With her smiles that her face now conveys. There's a busy young person you know Seems jack of all trades as they gov He's boss of the teams, He prints by the reams, lt's his studies where Edgar is slow. Page Fifteen Page Sixteen There's a very slim fellow namecl lra, He's liable to starve and expirer, But he hopes for the best As he loosen his vest, And trys not so much to perspirer. There's a lady from Bellflower town, She's worthy a bright jewelled crown, She goes on her way With little to say And she brought to a ham some renown. Then there's long, lean and hand- some young Ray, Reifsnyclefs the boy that l say, He's strong on the pie, You neecln't ask why Because I would rather not say. There's Marion, a fuzzy haired bru- nette, She's known as a quiet coquette, ln her large twinkling eyes, There's a message that lies Which the other sex cannot forget There's a chunky young lassie named Cox, She often wears loud colored smocks, She can talk like a charm But she never does harm Even the many a tale she concocts. Ohl for a few more like Cooke, He's never been known to provoke The ire of a teacher Or lacly or preacher, He stancls like an unperturbecl oak. There's a lassie whose name does not rime, But we must not neglect her this time, lf school began at 9:08, She still would come late, But Emily will stop it ometime. There's a smart little fellow named Ray, As a talker he makes a display, ln debates he is there From his feet to his hair, His arguments Hay as they sway. Page Swmztvfu Page Eighteen Oh Merle is a boy beyond price, Who rushes a girl mighty nice, P. S. spells her name Who his heart can claim: l think what l've said will suffice. There's a big eyed young person sedate, She's great on the old tete-a-tete, Every chance she may get She plays the coquette While Tourist with joy is intoxicate. There's Rossier, a Frenchman, a prince, He's from old lllinois state, by jinks, Tho' he goes his own way, Don't think he can't sway By his wiles and his powerful winks. There's a lassie who's always a- smile, There's nothing about her that's guile, Dorothy leads in her class And her ways they surpass, She's the kind that we like all the while. There's Lois from l..ynwood's fair town, She has hair of the famous nut- brown, She sometimes says phrases As crazy as blazes, lt's to Lois l would pass out the crown. There's a dark-haired young beau named Miles He's a goner on Mabel's sweet smiles, She comes from Ohio And Miles he say Myl Ol She certainly can work her young wiles. l know you remember Miss Neece We hope she'll not grow or increase, She's held in esteem ln every extreme And so will be until her decease. He's a rosy cheeked fellow, this Clapper, He's never been known as a napper, He's always the same No matter what dame Says no one's as dapper as Clapper. Page Nineteen Page Twenty Now there's Albert from out of the West, Who loved a young lady with zest, So hard did he press her To make her say, Yes, sir, That he broke three cigars in his vest. ln the next l would call Henrietta, lf you have, you're not sorry you met her, Her quiet meanful glances, Along with her dances, Makes it hard for a boy to forgeta. There's a modest young fellow named Blink, He's known for his smile'and his wink, He's fast on his feet Like a deer he is' Fleet, He'll be famous someday, l should think. There's mysterious pretty young Fern, The girls for her blonde locks do yearn, And some one has spake As if they're a fake But I doubt not but what they are hern. There's Mamie who wears a high heel, She went up in a great Ferris Wheel, But when half way around She looked at the ground, And it cost her an eighty cent meal. There's a fellow from Watts who's named jones For all that the town is, he surely atones, Let me give you a tip He's as smart as a whip ln laying out houses of wood and of stones. There was a young lady named Mary, She worked out her own dietary, She never was able To eat at the table, But out in the pantry-Oh Mary! There was a quiet fellow named Ed, Who dined before going to hed On lobster and ham, On salad and jam, And when he awoke he was dead. Page Twenty-one fage Twenty-Iwo This Moser's career round the place Reminds me of Elmer's sad case, He's sweet on one honey And not for her money, But because of the looks on her face. Then there's Margaret the little, so small, ' She'd be lost in a-dolly's red shawl, ,She may sometime grow For she's not very slow, Thenlflflargaret such jokes will fore- sta . There's a smiling young fellow named Brad He's known as the candy footpad, He's after the cash As quick as a Hash, While he'll argue until one gets mad. There was a young lady named Ruth, Who had a great passion for truth, She said she would die Before she would lie, And she died in the prime of her youth. There's a pleasant young lassie named Swank, She's attended by one lean and lank, If affection should win, It would be a sin lf some fellow long Hop should out- rank. We have a young fellow named ..Hop.. Who is noted for brains in his top: Says his rivals are rank when they smile on Miss Swank, But he cannot persuade them to stop. There's Elizabeth with the dark eyes, ln debates she can soon hypnotize, She shook a man john For a curly-haired one, l suppose Elizabeth thinks she is wise. There's smiling and happy olcl Nic, With a few of the dames he's been thick, But most of the time Since Nic's in his prime l'le's never been really love-sick. Page Twenty-three Pngf Twvnty-four There's a handsome young fellow, no joke. He follows one Katherine Cocke, And Harold's not slow, l'm sure we all know He'd got it until he is broke. There was a loud person named Winnie, She's neither a Pratt nor she's skinny: And l almost feel sure with her coquettish lure She's somebody's sweet pickaninny. There's a beautiful fellow named Lyman, He reminds one of ancient Simp Simon, His hair is a dream His complexion sweet cream, While his eyes twinkle forth like a diamond. There was a young lady so fat, She was known as a brick not a slat, She's as good as she's pleas- ing, She takes nobody's teasing, And her name it is Miss Jennie Pratt. There's a lassie from Chino named Martha, They raise none that's louder nor smarter, She's known for her noise, She dodges the boys, l hope some young fellow will starter. There's a runner whose name it is Sam He's as quiet as the proverbial clam, But when someone's around From fair Bellllowers' ground, The way that he talks is no sham. There's Nina who's pure and not fickle, Her humor's too hard for to tickle, She goes her sweet way, She's late day by day But she's never been caught in a pickle. There's a fellow from Denver named Shepard, He's a sleek as the finest old leop- ard, While away on his trip She gave him the slip, And thereby her standing did jeop- ard. Page Twcu ty-five Page Twenty-six There's a curly-haired lassie named jean, She's quiet, unobtrusive in mien, But sometimes she's gay ln her natural way, l've seen no one our Jean try to queen. Now Clifford looms up in the light, He's one in whom we delight, At basketball fast He's there to the last, He's the boy shows the gamest of fight. There's a busy young person named Sarah, There is no one from Watts who is fairer, By eyes and by smiles The boys she beguiles, And there's no one that Sarah can't snarer. There's a lanky young fellow like some sycamore, Because of his advances the girls all adore His Apollo-like grace And Venus-like face, Ancl yet we all like him, this young Francis Orr. There's a long, lanky fellow named ..Em,.. Of the class he's the only real gem, You can tell by his looks He's in love with his books, Therefore Emery l cannot condemn. The Road to Yesterday My fair day was turned to night, For my long friend has been taken awayg But still l hear her voice so sweet and light, Singing of the Road to Yesterday. Our joy then seemed to have no end, As we lived and loved in our world so small, But now l have no one a message to send, Nor have I a friend all my own to call. How l have tried to find that road so dear, That is called the Road to Yesterday, But now l am old and I have hunted far and near, For the road where happiness always lay. Could l but walk with her again, Where the autumn leaves ne'er cease to fall, And where the green grass fills the glen, Oh, where l hear these love birds call. But down where the grass on her grave doth nod, My heart is buried with my loved one there, Yes, down underneath that sacred sod, Where real love never knows a single care. -Dorothy Jeter '24.

Miguel Lopez was drunk, he was gloriously, fighting drunk, since noon he had been swaggering up and down the one dusty street of San Pablo, challenging the inhabitants of the sleepy little town to come out and do combat with him. But they, knowing him of old, kept behind closed doors, and were quite content to let him roam the streets at will, for it was his boast that he feared neither Cod, nor man, nor devil. Even the little gray Padre could do nothing. That very day Miguel had chased him in undignified haste to the very door of the ancient mission at the end of the town. So the tyrant ruled supreme in the empty street. Occasionally he entered the little adobe saloon and drank with a flourish the large glass of pulque which the frightened bartender inconsistently proffered as a peace offering. Then he reeled out into the street again, swaggering his wide shoulders, and shout- ing some ribald song. Toward mid-afternoon a tall stranger came down the street. Behind him he led a diminutive burro, and in his hand a geologist's hammer. His should- ers were slightly stooped and a pair of spectacles gave a studious expression to his long face. Before the glaring red-painted general store there was a well, and here the stranger stopped and began to pump water for himself and the burro. Miguel was in the saloon drinking his sixth glass of pulque when he heard the pump. Tossing the remaining liquor down at a gulp he issued forth in search of prey. At sight of the stranger his beady eyes half closed, and muttering Gringol he drew his knife and hurried uncertainly down the street shouting a challenge. The American glanced up, but seeing only a drunken Mexican, he went on washing the dust from his sun burned face and neck. Miguel was closer, now still shouting and brandishing his knife. The stranger, having finished his washing, looked at him curiously. I guess you've got the wrong fellow, old man, he drawled in English. l never did anything to you. ln fact, I never saw- The Mexican interrupted him with a string of choice epithets. The stranger's knowledge of Spanish was not great, but he caught the other's mean- Page Thirty-five ing, and his face flamed a dull red. Suddenly his long arm shot out and Miguel toppled over in the dust. With an oath the Mexican sprang to his feet again, his lips curled back in a snarl showing his yellow, uneven teeth. With knife raised he rushed on the stranger. The latter was quick, but not quick enough, the knife grazed his arm leaving a red furrow. Then Miguel's wrist was in a vise-like grip that made him cringe. His fingers relaxed, and his knife dropped. Suddenly he felt the painful impact of a fist upon his jaw. Then followed, sharp, bruising blows that seemed to strike the tenderest parts of his body. In vain he tried to strike back, the rain of blows continued until he sank down, half conscious and wholly frightened. From his doorway the store-keeper hurried out voluble in broken Eng- lish with offers of aid and praises to the Americano. Was there nothing he could do? Oh, Miguel had wounded the senor's arm. Miguel un humbre malo. un hombre muy malo. The Senior had no idea with what terror he was regarded in the village. No one dared to oppose him, not even the Padre. The Senor had conferred a great favor by beating him. But he must have a care if he met Miguel again for- The American interrupted him with a curt, Yes, yes. No doubt. And now you calm down enough to tell me the way to Los Banos through Rojo Valley? Certainly, Senor. Follow the road leading out of San Pablo here until you come to a trail to the southward. That leads into Rojo Valley. Then you have only to follow the trail through the valley, up Rocca Pass, and you will strike the road to Los Banos. There was a silence for a moment as the Mexican wrapped a bandage around the injured arm. The man on the ground stirred slightly, but the others did not notice. But pardon me, Senor, there is a much better way to Los Banos than through Rojo Valley. You turn at- Never mind, returned the stranger, my way lies through the valley. But Senor, remonstrated the other, that way is much longer and harder. Now this other way- The American smiled good naturedly. Well, to set your mind at rest, he said, l'll explain. There's a peculiar red formation of rock in the valley that l want to examine. l'm only goinng to stay overnight and come up the pass in the morning. Now don't worry any more than you have to about me, but, you see l've got to go through the valley. Ah, yes, replied the Mexican doubtfully, but the other trail- The stranger laughed. Much obliged anyway, old man, he said, and moved off down the dusty street, unmindful of the admiring eyes of senoras and senoritas who watched him from open doorways. The storekeeper shook his head with a puzzled expression. Red rock in Rojo Valley! These Amer- icanos were odd people. When the stranger was gone, Miguel arose slowly and painfully, and slunk away to his hut like a whipped cur. For that day, at least, the inhabi- tants of San Pablo would see no more of him. as -ar is as as ln the early morning the Padre had a patient, for the little man acted as a physical, as well as a spiritual, doctor for his people. It was Miguel. His sullen features were swollen and discolored by bruises and drink, and there was an odd gleam in his blood-shot eyes. The Padre dressed the cuts in sil- ence for a time, then gently began to chide the patient for his sins, and urge him to confession. Miguel made no reply, but suddenly he broke out in a Page Thirty-six wild storm of cursing against the Blanked Gringo dog. Listen, Miguel, expostulated the Padre, the Americano was not to blame. Your's was the fault. Miguel paid no heed. Gradually he grew quieter, but continued mutter- ing, now cursing, now vowing revenge. The Padre finished his work in sil- ence, but his usually pleasant face took on a stern look. When he had finished, he spoke, and there was that in his voice that arrested the other's attention. Listen, Miguel Lopez, he said, you have ever been an evil man, and ou have made sport of the church and religion. But often have you heard, for I myself have told you, that revenge is not ours but Heaven's, and l warn you, Miguel, that as surely as you carry out your threat against the Americano, the punishment of Heaven will come upon you. Miguel only laughed, a hard grating laugh. That for your religion and punishment from Heaven! he sneered, snapping his fingers under the Padre's nose. Half an hour later the storekeeper saw him, rifle in hand, cutting across the hills toward the south. At the top of aihill Miguel stopped in the shadow of a big rock and rolled a cigarette. Before him in the distance spread a great jumble of rolling moun- tains, with here and there a jagged peak rising above the rest. Below lay Rojo Valley. It was long and narrow, little more than a gorge, with steep rocky sides. There was no vegetation in it save here and there a tree cactus, which, in the distance, loked like a skeleton. A winding trail ran through the valley and disappeared in a ravine at the upper end. Once in a very great while one could see a tiny patch of green, which was a welcome contrast to the color of the rock and soil of the valley, a desolate red which in the sun's rays hurt the eyes. But Miguel paid no heed to the blinding color. His eyes were fixed on two moving objects far down the valley. One was a man, the other a burro. Occasionally they stopped, and the man picked up something from the ground, examined it for a moment, and then cast it aside. They moved on. Miguel watched. At times his face darkened and he muttered deep, vicious oaths. Again he grinned, an ugly, twisted grin that was half a snarl. The man and the burro were nearing the upper end of the valley. Miguel tossed away his third cigarette, picked up his rifle, and turned again down the hill until the valley was out of sight. Then he made rapidly for the ravine into which the trail disappeared. At the edge of the ravine he stopped. The sides were very steep, almost perpendicular, and the trail ran directly beneath. He chose a place a little higher than the rest, well protected by bushes. Here he lay down on his stom- ach, his rifle in front of him. The traveler was perhaps a quarter of a mile away. Miguel looked carefully at his rifle, ejected a cartridge and replaced it again. The Cringo was very slow. He would be slower yet if he knew what awaited him. He would learn what it is to insult Miguel Lopez. The Mexi- can swore again. The American had only traveled one-half of the quarter mile. A shadow passed beside Miguel. He started and looked up. Above him at no great height a buzzard circled slowly, watching him. A twisted grin spread over the man's face. The bird should have its carrion and that shortly. The American was but a few hundred yards down the trail. Miguel shifted his position on the hard ground. The Padre had said re- venge belonged to Heaven. Bahl The Padre was loco, muy loco with his religious notions. Best take your revenge when you can get it. The shadow Page Thirty-seven of the buzzard passed again, larger this time than before. The traveler was only a hundred yards away. There was an odd rustling in the bushes behind Miguel, but he did not hear it. He put his rifle to his shoulder and cocked it carefully. The rustling continued and there peered forth a pair of green eyes set in a round yellow head. The C-ringo was very close. Miguel raised his rifle and aimed. The green eyes behind him moved forward followed by a long yellow body and a tail that switched nervously from side to side. A twig interfered with the Mexican's sight. As he moved a little to one side, the cougar sprang. Above, the American heard an odd sound like the muffled scream of man. I-Ie stopped and looked up. A pebble rattled down the side of the ravine and fell at his feet. He heard no other sound and saw nothing save a buzzard circling close to the top of a cliff. A moment longer he listened, then turned and man and beast plodded on up the trail. j. H. 22. A Dog's Devotion He was a big, brown, shaggy coated collie. There was nothing striking in his appearance and a casual observer would have noticed nothing more than the usual general affectionate collie dog. I say the casual observer for one who was more than that would immediately have found something striking, humanly, appealing in the deep liquid depths of his soulful brown eyes. There was a subtle difference which, once catching the glance detained it, something indeflnable, compelling, and withal pitiful and deep in the watery depths of the ocean, calm and sure but suggestive of strength. I-Ie belonged to an old rancher who lived among the remote ruins of an old cattle ranch. The house was hid in the bottom of a deep ravine with the steep sides of the mountains rising sharply to the front and back and a winding canyon blocking it on both sides until the house and a few barns were surrounded by a natural wall and so shut off from view until one was upon it. Coming in at the top of the canyon on one of my annual roaming trips one fall, I stood on the crest of the mountain and looked about me. There had been a recent forest fire, the smoke of which I had noticed some days before. The mountains were laid bleak and bare, and just a spot around the house remained untouched. This was a freak of nature which had miraculously saved this place from destruction. Taking my eyes from the immediate landscape I glanced over the horizon. The sun was just setting and cast a blood red hue over the landscape. Far off to the North the snow tipped peaks of the mountains rose in a white majestic silence, cold, and awe inspiring. To the South were the still uncovered foot- hills standing distinctly outlined in the fading light. A lone pine tree stood sharply outlined against the horizon, a silent sentry keeping a lonely vigil. A hush settled down and engulfed the land, not a visible thing stirred. All who have watched the sunset from a high mountain and waited through the twilight knows this interval of worship, between the strife of ended day and the cloak of night. Suddenly far over the hill a coyote barked, a night owl screeched, and the spell was broken. I descended the path and came upon the house. As I neared I felt a sense of apprehension stealing over me. I tried to shake it off, but somehow it persisted. So with this feeling I entered the open door. Page Thirty-eight My eyes still unaccustomed to the darker room could not distinguish the objects at First, but gradually they took form. In a heap in the corner I dis- covered the old rancher, at the side alert with nostrils dilated and head lifted high was the collie. As soon as he recognized me his position relaxed and he came slowly over. When he came into my vision I was sickened bv the sight of him. I-Iis hair was scorched to a crisp, and at his throat a large nice of flesh was hanging away from the bone, with eves bloodshot and filled with the most agoniving pain and appeal, he stood looking into my face. I was stunned and transfigured. Suddenly I was recalled to myself as he walked toward the corner and turned calling me with his eves to where the old man lav. I thought I had been appalled by the sight of the dog. but when I saw this piece of a man burned to a char. I felt the floor sinking beneath me and the room whirling about me and I grasped the wall for support. I read it all at a glance. The recent fire was nearing his place and in trying to save his home the man had probably been caught in a fire trap. The dog ever faithful, had gone to his master's rescue only too late to do him service except to drag his body from the flames and bring him back to the cabin. The results of this rescue could easily be seen. The dog had been hope- lessly burned, but as long as breath was given him, stood guard over his mas- ter's body faithful to the last. Yes, faithful to the end for while I had been going over the details of this tragedy in my thoughts and living through the anguish of both dog and man, his last service was rendered and he had fallen across his master's bodv. dead! , -A. Dorsett '22. Jonah Personified He tears into my office and falls all over a chair tryin' to get to my desk. Cotta first baggerln he 'splodes. Yea? I returns, without lookin' up, cause I thinks the pore guy has gone loco Iookin', so I reaches for the telephone for to call the nut wagon. Yes s'r, he played on the Crawfords last season and every time he went to the ol' platter he wallops a homer, he stutters out like a steam calliop. Yea, I thot you was crazy, now I knows it, I hollers so loud you could hear me clean out in the street. The Crawfords never wins nothin' but the cellar for three years. Well, y' see the Ump calls a guy out 'cause this man forces him off the bags, he 'splains. We has a lively battle of words for a few minits an' in the end I says, Lets lamp him. Joe darts out and comes in with a guy w'at looks like he hasn't had nothin to eat since Adam eat a apple. Your'e all wrong, Mr. Conner, he addresses me, I'm a Ionah, twenty- one jools, all the teams I ever plays on looses every one of the games they plays. I don't give a whoop w'at the teams does, w'at can you do? I shoots, W'at about your battin'? Thats just the trouble, I makes all the boys miss the bags by rushin' 'em, he returns. Ye gods and little pink elephants, a guy w'at can do that, and a Jonah. Well, in the end with a offer of two-ten per. I Ie accepts and we're off. Our first game was with the Brooklvn Bronks and we puts 'em under at 5-0. Then we plays the Pacific Flour Mills and snows them under I0-0. Next Page Thirty-nine we plays the Portland Aggies. Jonah? That boy was a wonder, he had Babe Ruth backed clean off the earth. Now comes our big GAME with the Chicago Whites. We open the battle by havin' to fight for the dressin' room, but we gits away with it. About two minits before the game opens we trots out on the field. For a minit nothin' happens, then the fun starts and it sounds like the whole world has busted oose. Pretty soon we starts to play the ol' game. We gits first chance at the apple and starts out to beat the world. The first two batters shows the battle is goin' to be close. The innin' ends 0-0. Well we keeps this up for seven more innin's and still the score is twin 0's. Some gemel Jonah up! l barks at the pore bum. Jonah? Sh'd say notl l tells him to lean it over the fence. He nicks up a club and sojers up to the plate. He looks at the pitcher and yells, WassaMatter? Arm froze? , The mound- man don't say a word but goes out to his mound and lets loose a back buster, Jonah misses it a mile. Strikel crows the Ump. Jonah looks foney. Here comes another just like t'other. Strikel repeats the Ump. Now the pitcher's gittin' reckless and don't care w'at he does. So Jonah meets the next one square and out it goes. Jonah romps 'round first alright, but when he rounds second his foot ketchs in the bag and he falls all over hisself just as the ball plops into the second baseman's mit. Ye-r-r-r out! barks the Ump. Well, we still gotta chance, l thinks, the score bein' l-0 in favor of them. We brings in a run and the score looks like a tie. Jonah's up again, and we got two outs. He meets the first one and sends it into the lot. He's comin' for home when he stops and looks around foolish, and starts to look at the sun. Ah-ah-ah-chu! he sneezes. Up comes the ol' pill and the pitcher tags him out. I goes after him with blood in my eye and chaces him out of the lot. Boy, if l'd ever caught him l'd a made sissages of himl Jonah? I'll say he was! Jonah personified! --M. W. H. '22. Compton High School a Few Years Hence Compton, California. Nov. Zl, 2050. Dear Mother: This is the first moment I have had to write you since l arrived, so l will try to make up for lost time. I like Compton very much. When l drew up in my palatial, touring air- plane, I think l must have caused quite a commotion because some of the girls actually stared in surprise. There are a number of other planes here, but only a few automobiles left. However none are so beautiful as mine. The school is for the elite, and l greatly enjoy all my subjects. The school rooms have the most up-to-date equipment, and everything is complete. The chairs are all beautifully upholstered and by pressing a little button, can be converted into comfortable divans. When one is tired of studying it is pleas- ant to be able to lean back for a moment's relaxation. Also there are in- dividual fountains by each desk so no one need ever to go thirsty. Yesterday l took an enjoyable trip with the air class. After putting on Page Forty our Mars-wings which contain a sufficient supply of oxygen to meet every emergency, we ascended into the upper atmosphere. It was so delightful to float along without a care, but of course every pleasant thing has to end some time. One of the girls became separated from the rest of the party and her left wing was struck by a shooting star so of course we had to descend. Our teacher of Aeronautics said it was a very unusual thing for shooting stars to come as low as we were. O Mother, a number of the students and several of the teachers are plan- ning a trip to Venus next summer and they want me to go. We shall have our private airplane, and it is certainly a big one. l do not know its air capa- city but the rate of speed is very great and it will not take more than a week to make the trip. It would be so much fun, so please say l may go. I presume you will be interested in California style, but they are only a little in advance of those at home. You know the girls are gradually going back to dresses for evening affairs, but the trouserettes are still much preferred for every day work and play. l almost forgot to tell you of our visit to the museum today. There were several skeletons of pre-historic animals and among them was one called a horse. They say that it was used for rapid transportation, and under favor- able conditions could attain a speed of eight miles an hour. Another interest- ing specimen was a skeleton labeled Cow which was used as a source of a crude food called milk. The warning bell for dinner just rang so l'd better draw this to a close. l am hungry as usual, and l know the menu is especially appetizing today. Compressed alfalfa with mulberries is the main dish, and the dessert is avocado salad garnished with rose leaves. These foods are such extra good brain stim- ulants and we have some tests tomorrow, so you see why suchqthings are served. Compton is behind our eastern schools in this one thing. They do not yet employ the radio-activity of the Alpha-rays to determine a student's men- tality. They expect this will be added to their equipment in the near future. There goes the last bell, so l must hurry. With lots of love, Betty. Margaret EI Nluchmore '22. Who's Who It was a beautiful day in May. Surroundings were in bloom and so was the city of COMPTON the day that the gates of the annual fair were opened. People came thronging in like a UNION of some sort out of order. A crowd gf elyery class could be witnessed there, the butcher, the baker, and even the an er. Being a very important occasion HIGH esteem was taken in the affair. The SCHOOL was closed for the day. Boys and girls could be seen prancing around with glee, taking up as the elders thought, entirely too much of the condensed space. Omitting all unnecessary confusion there was a grand com- motion which inclined to lessen the FACULTY of one's mind. Enjoying this annual event were some of the most prominent PERSONS of the city. Alchemy CLARK with his little NEECE who was dressed in the HUSE fhuesl of a rainbow deserve special mention. We must not forget the dear little niece's thoughtfulness in bringing along her little DOLLEY. Pro- Page Forty-one fessor THOMP'-SON accompanied by the Judge JACK'-SON was also there. When the whole throng was at its highest pitch of confusion the city sheriff came galloping along on his horse ordering all the people to clear the center of the street so as to allow a new band fresh from Broadway of,New York City to make its initial appearance. The people were amazed. Was Compton such a large city so suddenly to have anything like this to happen? Amid their startling faces the crowd began unconsciously clearing the street. The two prominent youngsters mentioned, being rather sulky of obeying orders started the coals burning on the order man's temper. ln his wrath he yelled at them, Hey there, quit your BRAY-TON in the middle of the street and STEI-'NER the sidewalk. SES-MA, yelled back one of the boys, today I can do as I please. But they were forced to obey. The music which was heard in the distance soon became clear as it neared the crowd. The band was led by LUEDERS who put a SNAPP to the grand march which was being played. It was the PARM-A.-LEE Band. The little child just learning to talk belonging to the physician of the city, called after her trade, HEALY, was very pleased with what he saw. The big brass drum was tempting to his eye. I want a TUP-MAN, see like that fpoint- ing tothe drumJ, he said to one of the leaders as he ran into the center of the street. MAC that little one get out of the way, spoke up the PALMER fa fortune teller by tradel. Then turning to the innocent child, Get out of the way, sweetheart, or the BRUG-MAN will get you, she said. The child obeyed but turned sadly away very much in GREEF. Fina-LE. Bl-'AN by the procession passed on. There was a general RUS- SELL of the throng and the fair was started at full swing. ' And now dear readers l have finished my tale, The question of who's who? l shall leave to you. -G.. Steiner '22.

Class Prophecy In pensive mood, bringing before my mental vision members of our class, I wondered what we should be doing ten years hence. As I mused, many strange thoughts came. I-low different the lives of the members of our class would bel What varied experiences they would havel Some might travel in distant lands, some stay at home, others gain prominence in society or politics, some never heard of outside their own village. Suddenly I heard a voice, a fairy's voice, which said: You wish to know the future of your classmates? I answered, Yes. The voice continued: It is not well to seek to-know the future: to know the future is given to few, but you are one of the favored few. Come with me. I followed. I was led through winding ways knowing not whither I went. Suddenly I was stopped by a wall of rock. I started to turn back when a door opened in the rock and the voice bade me enter. I stepped in. I looked, and truly methought, this is an enchanted country. I knew not what to do. Again the voice, Step boldly forward. Soon wilt thou be accustomed to this place. In the middle of the cave I saw three beings. Are you the Fates? I asked, with trembling voice. We are, they answered. For long years, aye, for centuries have we dwelt here. Never since the days of Greece have mortal eyes beheld us. You are a favored mortal. What is your request? Ere I could answer the voice replied: To read the future of her classmates of '2 I. The oldest of the Fates said: Be it so: follow me. I obeyed. Passing through a labyrinth of winding passages we stopped. Nothing was seen until my guide lighted a candle, when I saw that I was in a smaller cave, at the end of which was a large mirror. This is the cave which conceals the magic- mirror, said my companion: yonder is the enchanted glass itself. Look Page Forty-five therein and listen carefully. Breathlessly l waited. My guide kindled in a small basin a fire of aromatic herbs, muttering in a sing-song voice. She placed the basin in front of the mirror and blew out the candle. The mirror was now illumined brightly, the rest of the cave being dark. Suddenly l saw a change in the mirror. l seemed to be looking into a hospital. Among the nurses alleviating pain and soothing patients, one seemed very familiar. All the years had not changed her, she was still the same happy Lois Stratemeyer. This vision faded. l saw a large and brilliantly-lighted hall filled with an appreciative audience. The speaker held them as if in a spell. Now they wept, now they laughed. He turned them at his will. Who was he, do you ask? It was-well you all know him, Edward l-lersom. Again the scene changed. ln a quiet study, she turned and l saw Fern Kolkema who had entered upon her poetic career. Several volumes of her poems lay on her desk, and she was preparing another. Next l saw a bookstore. A school-girl entered and asked for a copy of lVluchmore's essays. l heard the clerk say to a gentleman: Schools are study- ing modern essayists instead of the older ones. Lockhart Muchmore is one of the best recent writers. As the bookstore still remained, l concluded more would be seen if l waited. Another young lady entered and asked for a copy of Mistakes of the Heart. As the clerk handed her the book l noticed that the author was jean Stephenson. Then catching a view of the Governor's mansion l was not surprised to find in the Governor's chair, Harvey Wolski. The door opened and the Gov- ernor turned. Well, well, how are you? he exclaimed. The gentleman who had entered the room and whom he seemed so glad to see, was none other than Kenneth Elliott, now a banker. He received his first impulse for finance while Treasurer of the class of '21, Within a Quaker meeting-house sat a quiet assembly robed in gray. Among the audience l spied the familiar faces of Dorothy Fredericks, Evelyn Carver, and Margaret Morehouse. Next in a store window was a large placard announcing a demonstration of a safety hat-retainer. ln the store was John Huston, inventor of a patent hat-re-tainer, by means of which men were sure to find their hats where they left them. Next a large concert hall where the attraction was a distinguished pianist, Helen Swank, just returned from a European success. On the front row in the audience sat Walter Hopcraft now president of a large New York firm, still patiently waiting. An orthodox Protestant church next caught my attention. Would you believe it, in the pulpit was lra Fuller. I could have imagined him delivering a lecture on hot air or sounding the praises of Omega Oil, much more easily than in his attempts to expound the Gospel. Then appeared a beautiful reception room, filled with talented and learned people. The hostess was Sarah Levy, society leaderg to attend her social functions was considered a great favor. The center of attraction this evening was Vernon Blenkiron, the world's champion sprinter, ball player and heartbreaker. Several views quickly passed showing schoolrooms of every description. Among the teachers were Ruth Kinney kindergarten teacher, Henrietta Klam- roth mathematics teacher, Winnie Leeming gym teacher, Mary Kerr domestic science teacher, and Nicholis Tomlin and Francis Orr, college professors. Page Forty-six Next I saw the interior of a large theater. On the screen were thrown the names of Kathleen Phelps, scenario writer, and Lawrence Jones, director. The star of the picture was Betty Cox, known better to us as Elizabeth Cox, now a popular movie actress. As I sat watching the picture, my attention was suddenly called to two young men coming up the aisle dressed in white coats and trousers. Each was calling at the top of his voice, Candy, nice fresh candy, only five cents a bag. As they drew nearer I discovered that they were none other than Brennen and Bradstreet, following the career they had begun in high school. , Next came a great contrast. I was in darkest Africa and whom I should I see there but Nina I'Iospe, a missionary. Then I saw before me, Congress in session. Among the many strange faces of the congressmen, I recognized two-Clifford Twomblv and Emery Eldridge. As the scene began to fade I glanced hurriedly about the room again and among the stenographers I saw Marian Loomis. An old maid's hall formed the next scene. Here that happy group of girls we used to hear so much of now lived. Doubtless vou all know them, Emily Hamilton. Mamie Hieronymus, and Leda Burris. They had all settled down to single blessedness and as they all had a pet cat I concluded they had all lost hopes. Next, a scene disclosed Harvard University. On the athletic field I saw l-Iarold Tichhauser, a graduate of Harvard and now football coach there. The scene suddenly shifted to the office of the same institution and there at the desk sat Charles IVIacReynolds, principal of Harvard University. The vision faded and I saw before me a large Clothing l'-louse. The buyer was conversing with Baxter and Stohr, designers of women's fashions, just returned from Paris. The next scene revealed a beauty parlor. The head lady entered the room and as she drew nearer I saw that it was Elizabth Daetweiler. Next I saw a large aviation field. Over the office was a sign which read: Los Angeles-San Francisco Air Line. john Rossier, Proprietor. Then came a doctor's office. Whom should I see but Katherine Eshnaur. '7on't misunderstand me. I don't mean that she was a doctor. But a doctor had conquered her fears so completely that she was no longer known as Miss Eshnaur. The doctor was inone other than Eugene Lyman. Next I saw a court room in which Cecil Cocke, a young lawyer, was earnestly pleading his cause. Remembering that he was always very talkative when in school, I was not surprised to find him here. The next scene revealed Elmer Rozelle, a prosperous farmer of the middle west and Helen Whaley, a thriftv farmer's wife. Again a large hall where Elizabeth Tallon fwho would ever have thought itl, was presiding at a Women's Rights Association. Among the members were Mae Hansen, Jennie Pratt, and Dorothy Neece, debating Shall Men Be Allowed To Vote? Next I saw a study in which Emery Wilson was compiling geography right up to date, containing questions for all phases of the subiect-specializing in detailed descriptions of journey methods in Bellflower and vicinity, etc. Next Merle Taylor and by his side Pauline Stierwalt Taylor, in such an environment that I concluded here were two souls with but a single thought. Then I saw Grace Stead, busy in a laboratory for she had become a noted botanist. Next I saw a large studio, and to my great astonishment whom should I recognize as the photographer but Sam Torres. Page Forty-seven A large and attractive building next caught my attention. On the lawn sat Winifred Rowe, matron of an orphan asylum, surrounded by children. Another view revealed Albert Mealy, a noted tenor, especially fine in Scotch songs, his favorite being, The Campbells are coming. Next I saw an immense library in which Verna Worthington was librarian. Then I saw a small but attractive apartment house. A gentleman entered and confronted Tourist Moser, the manager. I have an important business engagement, said Tourist, taking out his watch, but my wife will show you the apartments we have. He called to her, and Norma promptly appeared in the doorway with What is it, clear? The next scene revealed Carl Clapper, a journalist on the New York Sun. Next I saw a large dancing academy and there as dancing professor I recognized Miles Rozelle. The last scene was a dentist's office and there I saw Raymond Riefsnyder, a well known painless dentist. Now came a voice, my Fairy's voice, saying: Seek no longer to look into the future: the thread of prophecy has come to an end. Had I been asleep? I-Iad I been dreaming? I found myself in my own room, the clock striking one, sheets of manuscript on table and on the floor. Dear classmates, I have done what I could, be kind enough to overlook my shortcomings and patiently to wait for what the future has in store for you. -Frances Warnke '21, , , da II If Page Forty-eight 125 --M X4 N THE GIRLS' GLEE. CLUB The Girls' C-lee Club, has been unusually successful this year, under the able supervision of Miss Parmley. The Joint Recital was given December 3, l920. The Expression Depart- ment under Miss Jacl-:son's direction, put on a very clever farce, A Case of Suspension. The cast of characters included Elizabeth Tallon, Augusta Dor- sett, Marjorie Thompson, Elizabeth Cox, Frances Warnke, Raymond Reif- snyder, Murray Greer, Raymond Brennan, Kenneth Elliott, and Dwain Mahan. The Glee Clubs made their first appearance at this recital, and performed very well. A half-hour operetta, with a cast including Pauline Underleiter, Marie Reed, Doris Blenkiron, Raymond Bradstreet, and Lawrence Cowan, concluded the program. On October 8, Miss Parmley was able to present to Compton's music lovers, through the courtesy of the Fitzgerald Music Co., Miss Olga Steeb, the pianist. We were very fortunate in being able to hear as wonderful an artist as Miss Steeb, right here at home and so reasonably. The next event was the Thayer Magic Entertainment, November 5. People like to be fooled some of the time so there was a fine crowd. The greatest honor that has ever come to Compton's Cllee Club occurred this year when the organization was asked to sing at the Teachers' Institute. The girls were the talk of the town because they sang so well and looked so pretty. After their performance, some of us began to realize that Compton was really in existence. The crowning event of the year was, of course, the Concert, with a capital C when the Music Department covered itself, its director, accompanist, school and everyone else with glory. Everybody knows by this time that whenever there is a program at Compton High School, it is bound to be splendid. Yes, the Glee Club has been a success, financially, artistically, and socially, to say nothing of the fun we have had at rehearsals. The Senior girls who have heard Miss Parmley say, Now, watch me, girls, for four years, hate to realize that next year they won't be able to watch her. They hope that the girls who take their places will appreciate the efforts of Miss Parmley and Miss Healy and will get as much enjoyment out of Glee Club as they have. Dorothy Fredericks '2l.

Compton Union High School ought to feel mighty proud of such an organization as we have had this year since it has been the largest and best she has ever had. Two feature entertainments were given, the joint Recital and the Annual Concert, and at both the organization made a hit. ln these entertainments we have attested the thoroughness of Miss Parmley's ability, and the members of the club wish to express their deep appreciation to Miss Parmley and Miss Healy, for the interest and devotion they have given to the organization throughout the year. The members of the club are: Tenors Thomas Merola Lawrence Cowan Leland Stohr Frederic Lueders John Rossier Merle Taylor Miles Rozelle Jim Cleghorn Crosier Quinn Kenneth Elliott Basses Raymond Bradstreet Carl Clapper Samuel Torres Walter Hopcraft Ernest Eschnaur Granville Smith Robert Alsip Richard White Harold Tischhauser Ronald Mason Raymond Reifsnyder Murray Greer Don Sayre Tourist Moser Raymond Bradstreet ZI 5 Page Fifty-two 5 L I Payv lfifiy-Ilzwv C. U. H. S. ORCHESTRA The Compton Union High School Orchestra is one of which our school may justly be proud. The quality of the work done has elicited much favor- able comment from notable visitors, who have said that considering the size of our institution it is the largest and finest school orchestra in this part of the state. Grateful recognition is made to Miss Parmley, Music Director, and to Miss Healy, Accompanist, for their efforts in our behalf, which has made possible the successful presentation of numbers that are beyond the scope of the usual high school orchestra. Many public appearances have been made this year: at debatesg the Magic entertainment, November 5thg the Combined Recital by the Music and Expression Depts.g December 3rd, and notably at the Third Annual Concert of the Music Organizations, March. We have yet other programs to present for Class Play, Class Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement. Members of this organization are: Lucille Jacques, Carl Clapper, Thomas Merola, Eric Lambert, Alice Oliver, William Miron, George Miron, Doris Blenkiron, Agnes Long, Henrietta Klamroth, Bob Alsip, Harmon Mayo, Edgar Baxter, joseph Ariaz, Howard Porter, Don Sayre, Harold Tischhauser, Eugene Lyman, Mary Heminger, Wanita Heminger, and faculty members,- Miss Alice Tupman, Miss Bertha Palmer and Miss Lillian Heag. 2 . C. ' l. BOYS' CHORUS The school feels mighty proud that it has such a fine organization as the Boys' Chorus, since in most high schools this privilege is not offered. It is here the boys lay the foundation for the Glee Club. The boys flock into the music room until it is packed, thus making the organization one of the largest in school, and, probably, in Southern California. Through the earnest efforts of Miss Parmley and Miss Healy, the chorus has made several appearances in public and has clone surprisingly well. It is the wish of this year's graduates that these two organizations may continue to thrive as they have in the last four years. L Raymond Bradstreet '2l. Page Fifty-four IVIIIVIIRATHENIAN PURPOSE- The purpose of this organization is the recognition of faithful and excel- lent work, but, of far greater value, the recognition of those characteristics of young manhood and womanhood which always make for the best and most democratic citizenship after school days are over, i. e., exemplary student body citizenship, regular and prompt attendance, and an attitude of helpfulness, tolerance, and cooperation with all those people and activities which make for a better school. NAME.- The name of this organization shall be Mimirathenian, derived from Mimir, the Norse Giant of Wisdom, who always guarded the well of knowledge, and Athene, or the Greek Goddess of Wisdom. Mimir represents the rug- gedness, power, and wisdom of the Norsemeng Athene the refinement, culture, and wisdom of the ancient Greeks. The name tells a story in itself which has a meaning full of insignificance for all of us . UW j n mznm F I lf! T?i?Ti U ldQf 'RUST'-e-1L:f ' fuss, 'Ji J ' IH' ' 7,-f, ' ll 'lr There are certain eligibility rules which students must observe before becoming a member of this society. A member for one year is presented with a brass pin, for two years a bronze pin, for three years a silver pin, and for four years a gold pin. Although this society is new this year we hope the students will continue to take an interest in it and make a big thing of it. THE PARTI-IENIA The Girls' League, or the Parthenia, has been a huge success this year. We have had two good, lively presidents and their efforts have certainly been rewarded by the interest that the girls have taken in the meetings and the sev- Page Fifty-Jim' eral social affairs. The officers for the first semester were: Dorothy Fredericks, president: Ethel Ludolph, vice-presidentg Elizabeth Tallon, secretary and Norma Wentworth, treasurer. For the second semester the officers were: Ethel Ludolph, president: Frances Warnke, vice-president, Norma Wentworth, secretary, and Lois Stratemeyer, treasurer. It was decided during the first part of the term, that regular meetings should be held every first and third Friday of the month. This plan has been carried out and each business meeting has been followed by an interesting pro- gram. The Girls' ,links Party, which was held in February, was the first social event of the year. The girls attended in masquerade, accompanied by their mothers, who came as guests. Even the mothers forgot that they were stately matrons and all had a ripping good time. The next event of importance was the hike which the girls took to Fern Lodge on the 26th of February. Although we came back tired, we all ac- knowledged that we had had a grand time. The Senior girls will certainly miss the fun and frolic of the Parthenia E. T. THE STUDENT. BODY The Student Body this year is composed of about four hundred members, the largest Compton Union High School has ever had. This year's Student Body should be commended for their splendid school spirit. The way they have backed up our teams, whether winning or losing, is something to be proud of. ' When the call came to help the starving Armenians they responded nobly with over two hundred and sixty-five dollars. The officers this year for the first semester were: Leland Stohr, President: Vifilliam Miron, Vice-Presidentg Frances Warnke, Secretary: and Bertha Steiner, Treasurer. For the second semester the duties of the secretary and treasurer were combined and the officers were: Charles lVlcRenolds, President, Murry Greer, Vice-Presidentg and Elizabeth Cox, Secretary and Treasurer. Compton High School also has a well organized Police Court, the pur- pose of which is to deter the borrowing among the students. Although only two or three cases have been brought before the court this year perhaps those two or three cases have helped to deter others from committing similar acts. The officers of the Police Court are as follows: Raymond Brennon, Judge: Harvey Wolski, William Hayes, and Kathleen Phelps, policemen. C CLUB The C Club of the C. U. H. S. is composed of students winning one or more letters, either major or minor. When one wins a letter, he or she auto- matically becomes a member of this organization. Each year they take a day off from work and worry and journey to the seaside, mountains, or wherever they may decide upon. Each and every student in the school is given an opportunity to become a member of this club, for letters are given for debating, tennis, and all of the major sports, which includes football, basketball, track and baseball. Every member of the Student Body should go out for at least one of these teams in their Freshmen year. Even if they do not make the team the first year, the training they receive will be invaluable to them, and so will increase their prospects for the following years. next year. L. C. '22.

We are taught to buy economically and to cook so that nothing is wasted, and yet, everything is cooked and served in such a way that it is delightful to the eye, healthy and appetizing. The first of the year we studied canning and jelly making. We canned several jars of vegetables and fruits, and made some jellies. Then, as it neared Xmas, we made English plum pudding, fruit cake and a great many different kinds of candies. After the holidavs, we studied calories or the nutritive value of each food. We made dietaries for people who need diffrent kinds of foods, so that they will have the right amount of nourishment. We learned that people may be eating a sufficient amount of food, but not the proper kind to furnish the nourishment which they need to build up their bodies. A little later in the term, we made a trip to Mr. Stockwell's retail market in Compton and learned a great deal about the selecting of meat. Later we went up to the Wilson Packing Co. in Los Angeles and found out how the meat is handled before it is sent to the retail dealers. As meats are very expensive, and most housewives know nothing about them, and are easily fooled, getting the inferior cuts of meat when they are paying the highest prices, I think it will prove to be very profitable to us to have learned to selct meats properly. After this, we took up the planning of meals, making menus which we served later to the faculty. The entire year's work was very interesting and pleasant, due to the efforts of Miss Brugman. Our mothers are delighted because of our interest in cooking, and because we try out at home all the recipes we get at school and, you know, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. -By Margaret Morehouse '2 l . Page Fiffy-seven Departments FORGE The Forge room is the only room that was not destroyed by fire last fall. It can accommodate fifteen at one time and it is full to its capacity. Forge is not only a very interesting subject, but also a useful one. We make tools of all description, the forge boys made all the tools for the craft class. He who does not care for forge will find it a hard and dirty subject. Forge also helps to build up ones body. Outsiders say that the forge room is very noisy, but what can be expected when fifteen boys are making, charis, welds, and tools. Noise, as the outsider falls it, is music to the blacksmith. It has the beautiful ringing sound. Mr. Lueders, our forge teacher says, When one gets used to the noise, he can hear a whisper from the next room. Mr. Lueders is as interested as the bovs them- selves. If he were not, the boys could not do what they do. We all like it, the work is not only interesting, but practical. This year for instance, we made the joice hangers or stirrups for the New Manual Arts building, we made a new wheelbarrow out of pipe and sheet iron for the janitor. Any repair work that can be done bv the forge class is always willingly and gladly done. We should like to have many people visit our forge room and see what we are doing there. Mr. Lueders teaches it in such a way that one can't help liking it. -Vernon Blenkiron '21, MECHANICAL DRAWING The Mechanical Drawing Department, under the capable leadership of Mr. Le Bihan. had made this a year of accomplishment. At the beginning of the term the class was divided into two sections, Mechanical and Architectural Drawing. Mechanical Drawing takes up the drawing of machine parts and machine designs. Two plates are usuallv drawn of each object, first it is drawn as- sembled, and then in detail. A large assortment of machine parts, valves, etc. are at the disposal of the students from which these drawings are made. Architectural Drawing deals with house plans, which includes floor plans, foundation plans, elevations and details of built-in features. All students are required to originate their own plans and not from bungalow books which are used in most schools. Pago Fifty-right Mechanical Drawing is helpful because it not only teaches the student the use of drawing instruments, but also all kinds of geometrical problems are involved. It teaches him the technical expressions which he will use a great deal if he follows this branch of'work for his future vocation. The Architectural division of the class secured the new White Bus and took two trips this term. They journeyed many miles, covering all the new building districts and going through several of the new style houses which are going up. Two members of the Free Hand Drawing class accompanied them and made several sketches of interior and exterior views and Mr. Le Bihan secured several good photographs of the most attractive houses. We hope that more time will be given in the future to this subject, as this branch of work is coming more and more in demand each year. -Tourist Moser '21, FREE HAND DRAWING Some very interesting and splendid work has been done in the free hand drawing department this year under the guidance of our very excellent teacher, Mr. Lueders. The first year students began with such uninteresting things as cubes, angles, four and six-sided pyramids in order to learn how to make straight lines. Then followed the more interesting studies in still life, a cup and saucer, vases, spoons, bottles, pans, and a milk can, oh yesl and a skull and books. Next came the drawing with charcoal of the nose, eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet of a person. That was lots of fun. After attaining proficiency in these subjects the class drew flowers, then conventionalized them for designs. Every Friday one member of the class posed while the others sketched him. While the first year class was struggling with straight lines, the second year students were making the beautiful things, such as posters for entertainments and games, besides painting real pictures. Both first and second year classes have enjoyed drawing so much this year that they feel that all those who have not taken the course have missed something worth while. -H. H. W. '2l. Commercial Department With an average enrollment larger than ever before in the history of Compton High, the Commercial Department has been especially efficient this year. Starting with the fundamentals, Commercial Arithmetic fwhere Fresh- men learn that two and two are four and that a promissory note is a promise to pay, and the Zaner Method of Penmanship under the auspices of Miss Greef, a beginner receives all the accuracy of Arithmetic required for Book- keeping and the free movement of writing so essential in Shorthand. Next up the ladder is Shorthand and Typewriting guided by Miss Snapp this year. ln Shorthand our instructor's untiring efforts of accuracy, speed, and clean cut strokes have been well rewarded. Aside from this, all students of shorthand have been looking forward to the Gregg Shorthand Certificate awarded each year to writers meeting all standards required. The annual O. G. A. contest is rather late this year and the out-come is still a mystery, but we hope that for the fourth consecutive time Compton High will be able to boast of a one hundred per cent club. Thanks to Mr. Gregg, author of Gregg Shorthand, for giving us a chance to work for a goal of more value than of fame. I am sure that Miss Snapp has succeeded in developing several amateur stenographers whose notes would make Mr. Gregg feel that his own perfect Page Fifty-nine hand has been forged at last. The advanced shorthand student has the in- teresting task of transcribing his notes. lt's possible. Much interest has been taken in Typewriting this year and to fulfill the demands classes are held every period of the day. Along with accuracy and speed, smoothness and rhythm of writing is considered. Students have learned that it is possible to write a love letter to the waltz time of Beautiful Ohio. ln spite of the fact that the class is filled to capacity, Bookkeeping has been a huge success this year. The Twentieth Century Bookkeeping course has been taught this year. This system is taught by all recognized Business Colleges of Los Angeles. But Compton is always going higher, so the second semester started with a bang. Office Training was added to this department. This is a complete course in general office work giving students training that is as near like real office work as educational books can provide. On account of the over-flowed Commercial Arithmetic classes, Commer- cial Law, and Business English has been crowded out, but that does not mean that these subjects have died out. After summarizing all the points thus mentioned I am sure no reader can doubt that Compton High School has a Commercial Department complete from A to Z and of which we can justly be proud. We are. Here's to Miss Greef, who from day to day Teaches Freshmen how to add and subtract, Here's to Miss Snapp, trying very hard To develop a Gregg, the second Here's to the rest who have helped the department, And three cheers for Compton High. -Goldie Steiner '22. The Chemistry Department The chemistry courses this year were some of the most interesting given in the school curriculum. ln spite of some explosions, broken glass, evil odors, etc., we had a lot of fun and learned a good deal besides. There have been some pretty good jokes on some of the members of the class such as one student hunting all over the laboratory for the saliva bottleng another asking where he could find the hydraulic acid -in this case lVlr. Clark referred him to the water commissioners. Sometimes a student would hold up a test tube and call clear across the laboratory to lVlr. Clark asking him if it was hot enough. How- ever, we learned a good deal about chemistry and why it is important in our everyday life. There were three classes in the department, namely: First Year Chemistry, Household Chemistry, and Qualitative Analysis. In the first year class we studied the principles of chemistry and the most important theories on which they are based. We dabbled a little in organic chemistry and its relation to the plant and animal life. We tried to figure out the meaning of the structural formula, but they looked more like spiderwebs than anything else. We also endeavored to learn about the common elements and their more important compounds. ln this phase Mr. Clark warned us that the poorest students would get the highest grades because it was nearly all memory work. l have said that we learned certain things-don't misunderstand me-we were supposed to learn these things. This class was the largest in the course, there being about thirty enrolled. The class in Household Chemistry was composed entirely of girls as might be expected in a subject of that nature. These girls studied the practical applications of chemistry to the household affairs. They studied dyes and Page Sixiy dyeing and in the laboratory they produced some very hrilliantly colored handkerchiefs which they sported for several days, and which caused many envious glances among the boys who were fortunate enough to see them. What? Oh, nol They were not envious in the sense that they wanted to make some themselves, but in the sense that they wanted to receive some-willingly or no-from the hands or pockets of the fair owners. -L. L. Muchmore '2I. Household Chemistry Household Chemistry is one of the most interesting and essential subjects offered in Compton Union High School. The purpose of the course is not to learn chemistry alone, even in its relation to domestic science and art, but to give the student a broader outlook on the relations to the world at large of the things he uses in everyday life. This year our work was divided into two sections. First, we took up General Chemistry where we learned the composition and uses of water, air, and its compounds, the different kinds of metals and the textiles. We also learned that certain kinds of acids which were essential in working the experi- ments make very artistic stains on one's hands. In the second division, we studied food and its principles and certain standards of sanitation. In a word, Household Chemistry is a practical application of chemistry to household necessities. -Maude McKenzie '22. .

The question for debate was: Resolved that article I4, section I of the Consti- tution of the United States should be amended so as to exclude the children of aliens from citizenship except through naturalization. Frances Warnke and Charles lVIcReynolds upheld the negative for Compton, and Compton won I96 to I86. U. S. C. HIGH Our next debate was with U. S. C. High School, at Compton. The ques- tion- Resolved that California should be divided, the seven southern coun- ties forming the new state, was upheld by Elizabeth Tallon and Raymond Brennan, on the affirmative side. Compton won by a very large score. ANAHEIM Our third debate was at Anaheim. Compton upheld the negative side of the question, which was: Resolved that Congress should appoint a commis- sion to regulate and control all state educational systems. Chas. IVIcReynoIds and Frances Warnke debated for Compton, winning by the score of 203W to I87 ZX3. This debate puts Compton in the lead in the Southern California Debating League. CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE On June 3 we met Pasadena I-Iigh School at Hollywood High in a debate for the championship of Southern California. The question was: Resolved that the closed shop is superior to the open shop in promoting the interests of labor. Charles lVIcReynolds and Raymond Brennan will uphold the affirmative for Compton. We cannot commend the debaters and their coach, Miss Jackson, too highly for the manner in which they have worked this year. Although all of this year's debating team graduates this year, I am sure there are others who will ably fill their places. Page Sixty-lwo aww S ,1 -fi?

Due to Miss Jackson's splendid coaching and the amount of practicing done by the cast the play was considered a success. There was a full house both nights and the audience was appreciative of the humor in the play. The Senior Class presented a silver basket of flowers to Miss jackson on Friday evening. The play was a success both Financially and otherwise, and those who did the work felt amply repaid for their efforts. DEBATING TEAM Page Sixty-three ' ff , if Divx sexi rj ip J Senior Party On the evening of October 29 the brave Seniors fared forth to find their fate. Brave? Why surelyl for it was the night witches were to be out galore- and black cats-and Oh-just everything that makes Hallowe'en, and makes most boys and girls 'most 'fraid to breathe. Not so with the Seniors, for if you had been around the Commercial Build- ing about 8 o'clock on that fateful evening you would have seen long lines of dignified Seniors filing in those doors, through halls that were festooned with black cats, jack-o-lanterns and witches mind you, and you wouldn't have seen one girl that looked like she wanted to scream, or a hair on one of our well groomed young men's heads that even gave a hint of wanting to stand straight up from fright, but all seemed bent on having a good time which we surely hacl. Witches told ghastly tales over a steaming caldron, boys were given the names of their future wives, and the girlsfound their fate from the peelings of an apple. Dancing was soon started and the remainder of the evening was thus spent. Refreshments were of course served and all drank to the health of C. U. H. S. with delicious cider. All too soon came the time to say good night and all agreed that we had had a grand time. The Junior Party On the evening of November l2, l920, the class of '22 gathered in the Commercial Building to hold their annual class party. The first thing that met the gaze of the guests was the gorgeous decorating of the halls and the Music Room. The decorating was carried out in the class colors, green and white. After several games were indulged in, it was announced that all those who wished to learn of their future life were to proceed immediately to the Fortune Teller's Den to see what Mme. Skeezex had in store for them. As soon as said lady had completely ruined her reputation as a Fortune- Teller every one journeyed back to the Music Room to be served with delicious green and white brick ice cream and cake. Then came the dancing! We danced till we noticed some of the small Freshies nodding their heads and yawning. Then the pianist, remembering that the small Freshies should be in bed at an early hour, struck up Home Page Sixty-four Sweet Home. And amid many pleasant Good-Nights, everyone started for home. -Lawrence Cowan '22. Sophomore Party By searching diligently in the lowest right hand corner, page five, of the Stentor for March l4, l92 I , you will see that which might lead you to believe that the Sophomore party was carried off with pomp and style. We should say that there was far more pomp than style, however, not but that there was plenty of style, but owing to the masquerades of Knott and Popperwell and the presence of Bud Fuller, Clarence Dustin, and others, the pomp was in the lead by the large majority. About seven-thirty a few of the more impatient ones straggled in, but it was eight before the rush began, and by eight-thirty the party was in full blast. Dwain Mahan was stocked up with good games and proved his remarkable executive ability by the masterlv way in which he took charge of the amuse- ments. A few hours was enough for everyone to have his Hll of fun and so the refreshments consisting of punch, ice cream. and cookies were served. About ten-thirtv the merrymakers declared that they had enough for one night and everyone left, pronouncing it by far the best party of the season. -Harlan King '23. The Freshman Reception On Friday evening, October l4. the unper-classmen gave the Annual Reception in honor of the Freshman class. The purpose of this reception was to welcome the new class into our student-body. The Senior, Junior and Sophomore presidents gave welcoming speeches to the Freshman class, which were answered by the Freshman president. A short but snappy program followed, each class taking part. There was quite a bit of competition between the upper-classmen to see who could entertain the wee ones the best. After the Freshmen had been pacifiecl for one hour and a half they returned home well contented. -Howard Tuttle '23. SENIOR SNEAK DAY What's the matter with school today? It seems to be dead. So they spoke on Wednesday, May l8, of our honorable year l92I. Dead! I should say it was. The seniors were all gone for the annual sneak day. However, away up in the Santa Monica Canyon, where the mountains meet the sea, there was a different storv. i Come on in, the water's fine. Put him out on third. l..et's eat. These are some of the sounds which echoed back from the cliffs to the ears of that happv sixty-four. A wonderful time indeed, swimming in the surf, playing indoor baseball, and devouring the eats. ln the afternoon with our ten high powered Fords, we hit the pike for Ocean Park. ln the plunge, Mac gave us some fancy dives. Rather hard on his back. but still the joy of seeing the crowd dive under the waves which he made gave him courage to make other trials. Hopcraft was a real hero, saving Helen from a terrible death in the three foot water. lt was not until about 2 A. M. that the last few came stranggling home. All agreed that it had been a wonderful day. . Page Sixty-five ? ' When the football roll was taken at the beginning of school in September, there were only three veterans left, and our outlook for a championship team was very slim. But our coach did not let that stop him, and in due time a good sized squad reported every night, enough in fact, to organize a second team, which later was to form our lightweight team. Matt Rogers, one of our former high school stars, extended his services by coaching our lightweights, while Coach Neece paid most of his attention to the heavyweights. Harold Tischhauser, a veteran from last year's team, was elected captain of the heavyweights, while William lVliron was elected to pilot the lightweights. Prrgf' .S'i.1'fy-,vf.1 QQ .1 351 X l f L In due time vacant places on both teams were not to be found. The boys were getting into condition fast, and nearly every night a scrimmage could be wit- nessed on our old gridiron. Coach Neece and Matt Rogers now knew the best men on their respective squads and two temporary teams were picked, which were by no means permanent. The boys soon got a chance to show what they could do, as practice games were soon lined up. First we shall deal with our heavyweight games. Our first heavyweight practice game was with Alhambra, and we came home with the creditable score of I4 to 2 in our favor. ln this game we found that we had a star backfield man in Walterwhite. Things began to look brighter and practice was resumed in earnest. Coach Neece then wanted the heavyweights to buck up against a football team that knew football from A to Z. So we hopped into the bus and per- colated down to Long Beach. Everyone expected to have a joy ride in an ambulance or hearse before they got back to Compton, but to their surprise they were all disappointed. Of course Long Beach beat us, but it was good practice for us, and once on our one yard line our boys held them for their four downs. Some time later Long Beach came up here for a return practice game, which did our boys a wonderful lot of good. Our heavyweights had one more practice game, which was with the second team of Lincoln High. Lincoln was nicked for a 2 I -6 score. The lightweights were sent in the last quarter. They lost 6 points, but made up 7 points in retaliation. By this time our heavyweights were rounding into good shape, and all was in readiness for the first league game of the season. SAN PEDRO GAME San Pedro came to Compton confident that she would win by a large score. She won 22-0, but it was by no means a large score. Our boys fought every minute, and a fast, hard game was witnessed by a large crowd. San Pedro's star backlield man, Murdock, spelt defeat for our teamg while Tish, Adamson, and White gave San Pedro plenty of trouble. SANTA MONICA GAME As was expected, Old Man I-lard Luck came visiting us, when it was our turn to play Santa Monica, on her own grounds. When the Compton boys took the field they were minus part of their first team, as they were on the crippled list. Santa Monica, which later won the Championship of Southern California, outweighed our team twenty pounds to the man, but our players played hard every minute of the game, fighting against Hard Luck. Mealy sprained his ankle, and Tish was to be seen limping about on the field. Adam- son and Rozelle starred, throughout the game. Although we came home on the short end of a 72-0 score, we can safely say that our boys never quit fighting until the final whistle blew. INGLEWOOD GAME ' Compton defeated Inglewood, on our grounds, 42-20, outclassing her at every angle of the game. The game was hard fought all the way through, and neither team let up until the final whistle blew. Adamson, as usual, featured with his heavy line plunging and deadly tackling, while Yates, Baker, and Tish made some spectacular plays. Schacht, at tackle, made some great tackles. This game put considerable confidence in the boys, and they determined to win the rest of their games. REDONDO GAME Compton journeyed down to Redondo, where they played the game of their lives. Their football field consisted of an old corn patch with about four inches of sawdust on it, making fast play impossible. Thus our boys were de- Page Sixty-eight prived of their best bet, in playing fast, and they had to be contented in making a safety for two points, which won the game. We can only say that the field was the only thing that kept Compton from rolling up a big score. VENICE GAME Our next game was with Venice, at Venice. We might call it the coldest game our boys played as everytime you opened your mouth your teeth froze. This handicapped Compton and consequently she did not play her usual game. The hnal outcome was 25-0, in their favor, as Compton failed to push the old pigskin over the line. HUNTINGTON PARK GAME Celebrating Armistice Day before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game on Compton's old gridiron, Compton defeated Huntington Park 44-O. The score explains the game, as Huntington Park did not have a show from the minute the whistle blew, until the game was over. Huntington Park relied upon her aerial attack, without success, while Compton shattered Huntington Park's line to pieces. White was the star of the day, making spec- tacular end runs and doing some deadly tackling. Baker, Adamson, Curry, and Schacht all played brilliantly. Tish hurting his back in the game, had to be carried from the field, his services were greatly missed from then on. But con- sidering that this is Huntington Park's first year of football, they did all that could be expected of them. GARDENA GAME In our last game of the season, Gardena came over here, confident that they would take home the bacon. But they were doomed to disappointment, as they went back home on the short end of a I4-0 score. Here our heavyweight football season ends with a record of winning four games and losing three games, which is to be considered a successful football season. Much credit is due to Coach Neece for the way in which he put out such a good team, out of so much green material. Next year we hope that Compton will be more successful, by winning the championship, which this year's team fought for, but lost. The lightweight games were as follows: Our lightweights had their first practice game with the Gardena's heavy- weights, at Compton. Gardena won l 3-0, as they outweighed our lightweights considerable. Rorabeck and Miron did some great work in running and tack- ling. The heavies were sent into the game for the last two minutes of play and scored a touchdown with ease. Fullerton's second team was the next team to come to Compton in order to battle with our battling lightweights. Our lightweights again played against odds, as their opponents greatly outweighed them, and our boys did exceed- ingly well to hold them to two touchdowns. The team had now rounded into good shape, and all were waiting anxiously for their next game, which was to be their first league game. INGLEWOOD GAME As Gardena and Redondo failed to place a lightweight team in the League, our first game was with Inglewood, at Inglewood. The boys were full of pep that day and everyone of them showed up well. Miron, Rorabeck and Ariaz made gain after gain. When the final whistle blew, and the dust had cleared away, Compton found that she had won by the score of 40-0, thus starting her league games out right. SAN PEDRO GAME The lightweights followed up their first victory in quick order, by defeat- ing San Pedro 6-0, at San Pedro. The game was hard fought and the result was in doubt up to the last minute of play. S-an Pedro at one time had the Page Sixty-nine ball on Compton's yard line, with four downs in which to make our goal, but our line held. Rorabeck's deadly tackling was largely responsible in holding back San Pedro when she was so near Compton's line. Morehouse, Miron, and Van Valkenburg caused the boys at San Pedro considerable worry throughout the game. SANTA MONICA GAME Santa Monica came to Compton and defeated our lightweights 2-0. The score alone explains what a hard fought game it was. Santa Monica made her lone two points when Compton attempted to punt from her five yard line. The punt was blocked and the ball rolled behind Compton's goal, with a Compton player on it, this giving Santa Monica a safety. From then on the ball seesawed back and forth, both teams lacking the needed punch to put the oval across. Miron, Rorabeck, Taylor, and Greer could be seen fighting at every stage of the game. VENICE GAME Venice journeyed over to Compton and went home on the long end of a 28-l 4 score, after she had played her hardest game of the season. At the end of the first half it was I4 all, both teams being evenly matched. During the second half our boys were unable to put the ball across the last white line, but several times Venice was given the scare of its life. Bill Miron proved to be the star of the day at both offensive and defensive playing. The championship had been lost, but we can safely say that we had one of the best light weight football teams in Southern California, and Matt Rogers deserves credit for the splendid team he turned out this year. Page Seventy lzi' Basketball I The heavyweight team is to be regarded as a successful one, as only one school in the league succeeded in making her bow to defeat. The big boys galloped around the court in championship style throughout the season. The boys lost their chance to grab the pennant in their last game with Huntington Park, which proved to be the hardest fought game of the season. At the end of the first half the score stood 9 all, and it was only by a few lucky shots in the last half that Huntington Park was able to win. Captain Tischhauser and Bradstreet at forward were always depended upon to do their share of the work in slipping the pelota through the loop. Center was taken care of by Derfelt and Rozelle. Both were hard, fast play- ers, outjumping their men consistently. We can safely say that we had two of the best guards in the league in Adamson and Dustin, fer they stuck with their men like glue, and if any of l-l. P.'s. men shot a basket, he was considered mighty lucky. The results of the heavyweight games were as follows: Compton 22-Inglewood 9 Compton 29--San Pedro 7 Compton 30-Wilmington 25 Compton 3l-Inglewood 9 Compton 36-Redondo II Compton l6-Wilmington IZ Compton 23-Gardena 20 Compton Zl-Redondo I9 Compton l l-Huntington Park 27 Compton l4-Huntington Park 22 Compton 25--Venice I2 Compton 24-Venice I6 LIGHTWEIGHTS The lightweights, under the leadership of Captain Elliott, although not quite so successful as the heavies, had by no means a poor team, since they succeeded in winning the majority of their games. Huntington Park's won- derful lightweight team was given the scare of their lives when our boys held them to a tie at the end of the first half, and if the game had been played upon our own court, beyond a doubt we would have won. The members of the lightweight team, who deserve considerable mention. are as follows: Centers--Greer and Twombly. Guards-Mealey, Rossier and Cooke. Forwards-Elliott, Pawlas and Rice. The results of the lightweight games were as follows: Compton 20-Inglewood 23 Compton 20-Venice I7 Compton 47-Wilmington 5 Compton 30-San Pedro I7 Compton ll-Redondo 6 Compton l8-lnglewood I9 Compton 28--Gardena 29 Compton 27-Wilmington I5 Compton I6-Huntington Park 29 Compton l5-Redondo 9 THE CHAMPION SKEETO WEIGHTS , Last, but not least, we come to the only team that was able to call itself a championship team. With little Bill Morehouse as captain, he led his team through the league without a defeat, and too much credit can not be given to the members of that team for the spirit they showed throughout the season. Huntington Park, our most feared rival, in basketball, was unable to with- stand the terrific attack of our little warriors, and for once thev tasted defeat. Later in the play-offs for the championship of Southern California our boys were defeated by Whittier in a fast, hard fought game. The lineup which won us the championship was as follows: Forwards-Morehouse and Tweedy. Centers-E. Lathrop. Guards-Frye, D. Lathrop and D. Morehouse. The results of the Skeeto Weight games were as follows: Compton l7-Gardena l Compton 20-Redondo 7 Compton 20-Inglewood 3 Compton l4-Huntington Park I0 Compton 32-Venice I6 Compton l l-Whittier 24 Page Seventy-two H :gi ll ' ff fm aff ff . , ' .14 Y I' 3582, 5'lliQ,J'1! l' V 5 ,ri . f. , -.1 ? 1- 1'f.r' 1-K S- J-f f' -,H-.

Track Before we tell of the wonderful success of our championship track team, we wish to remind our readers of the prediction of last year's Annual, when it said that this year's team would get revenge in track for last year's defeats. And we might say that they are very good prophets, for their prohecy has more than come true. Not only did we win the Bay League Meet, but we also won Page Srwzzfy-!I1rvv 6 1 ,Y 1 A ,. , 6, ,V Q I .'

A ..Qm. the San Fernando Invitational Meet, placed second in the Southern California, and with only two men representing Compton, we tied for fourth place in the State Meet. Too much cannot be said of Captain Blenkiron, and Mealey, who rep- resented Compton in the State Meet under the able training of Coach Neece. Both have trained faithfully and industriously throughout the season. For Mealey we predict a very bright future in the low hurdles. And as for Blenk- iron, we hope to see the day when he knocks Paddock's century record high, wide, and handsome. , DIFFERENT MEETS After our annual lnterclass Track Meet, which was won by the Seniors, track was taken up in earnest. Practice meets were held with nearly all the schools around here, such as Inglewood, Santa Ana, Poly, Huntington Beach, Los Angeles High and Manual Arts. In the majority of these meets we came out victorious, as the last two schools were the only ones that made our team A. A. U. MEETS In the annual Southern California A. A. U. Meet, held at Paddock Field, Compton was victorious in everything she entered. Blenk won the century in the nifty time of ten seconds Hat. Our boys also won the one-half mile re- lay, and the medley relay, in class B. The next A. A. U. meet was held at Redlands. Blenk running in the open hundred finished one-fifth of a second behind Paddock. Paddock's time for this event was 9 3X5 seconds, tying the world's record. The annual Bay League Meet was held at Inglewood, April 6. In this meet we glommed 53 I-3 points, beating our nearest competitor, by II points. For a while things looked bad, but then our old standby--Mr. Make-'em- eat-dust, galloped off the one hundred yard dash in ten-one, tying the Bay League record. He also annexed first place in the 220 yard dash. Next Roz- elle and Wall tore off first and second in the high sticks. Brad then tied for first place in the pole vault at ten feet six inches. Then Mealey and Wall had to get mad and take first and third in the hurdles. Hollenbeck and Torres, our reliable distance men took first and fourth in the mile. Moser brought in a second in the 440, Torres nabbed second in the half-mile, and Addie took third in the shot. Addie would have done better, had he not injured his back in the morning. Last but not least, White tore off a first place in the broad jump and a third in the 440 yard dash. Inglewood won the relay from us by inches. At Inglewood the Annual Bay League Cross Country was copped by I-Iollenbeck in the fast time of l0:5 7, a new Bay League record. SAN FERNANDO INVITATIONAL MEET Our track team, not satisfied with the winning of the Bay League Meet, journeyed to San Fernando the next Saturday. By the wonderful work of Captain Blenkiron, Mealey, Wall, Moser, Hollenbeck and Torres, we were able to bring home the cup. We sincerely hope that next year's track team will be able to keep this cup, which we now so proudly hold. TI-IE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND STATE MEETS In the Southern California, we annexed twelve points which gave us sec- ond place. Blenk won the l00 and 220 yard dashes as usual, running the l00 yard dash in ten seconds flat tying the former record. Mealey demonstrated His ability in the low hurdles by percolating into third place. These two boys were now eligible to enter the State Meet at Berkeley. In the State Meet, Blenkiron won the l00 yard, running against the wind, taste defeat. Page Seventy-five .,,,,,,,,, V in l0:l, but lost the 220 yard dash by a few inches to Allen of Redlands. Allen did not run the l00 yard dash, but was saving himself for the 220 yard dash. Mealey took fourth in the low hurdles, making a total of nine points for Compton, which tied us for fourth place. This was an excellent showing considering that only two boys were entered from Compton. BASEBALL Because of the long and successful track season, we were a little late in getting started with baseball. But soon there were two teams reporting every night for practice, and it was not long before several practice games were se- cured. We regard this year's baseball team as one of the best teams ever turned out by Compton High School, even though it lost the championship by one game. p The most important games played are as follows: SAN PEDRO GAME San Pedro 9-Compton 6 San Pedro came to Compton and, because of the loss of our captain and pitcher, who was sick, coupled with nine errors, we were defeated 9 to 6. INGLEWOOD GAME Compton 4-Inglewood I Ariaz pitched a splendid game, only allowing three hits, while our six hits enabled us to win. The game was played at Inglewood. VENICE GAME Venice 3-Compton 2 ' We journeyed over to Venice, full of confidence, and although we played a good game, Venice was lucky and the breaks all went her way. Consequently we received the short end of the score. ' HUNTINGTON PARK GAME Compton I2-Huntington Park 7 This was a very close game, with both sides playing airtight ball. At the end of the ninth inning the score was 7 all, but in our half of the tenth we batted in five runs, and then held H. P. hitless. Mike pitched a wonderful game in spite of the fact that he was hit by a pitched ball. WILMINGTON CAME Compton I2-Wilmington 4 Wilmington came to Compton full determined to win the game, but we changed their minds and they received the short end of a I2 to 4 score. SANTA BARBARA GAME , Compton 6-Santa Barbara 5 ln this game we surprised ourselves as well as Santa Barbara. After rid- ing up there the team was tired and stiff, but nevertheless we won. Carlos Derfelt pitched this game and let them clown with four hits. TENNIS The Annual Tennis Tournament opened this year with some twenty or thirty entries. After several hard fought matches, our last year's team com: posed of Elliott, Wolski, Bradstreet and Torres came out on top. After the tennis squabble among the girls had been settled it was found out that W. Hemminger, E. Hurd and H. Whaley were the victorious ones. The first tournament in which they were able to participate was the Southern California Tennis Tournament held at Chaffee Union High School. Elliott and Wolski played doubles, while Bradstreet and Torres were our singles entries. For the girls E. Hurd and H. Whaley played doubles while W. l-lemminger played singles. Although they did not carry away any of the honors, they did receive a good deal of excellent practice, which will undoubt- Page Sezfenty-seven 4 edly beneht them in the Annual Bay League Tennis Tournament. As this book goes to press before the tournament is played off, we cannot give the final results. We can say, however, that they have an excellent chance of win- ning the pennant. Girls' Athletics This year we have turned out a first class basket-ball team and although we were unlucky in securing games with other schools we made a very good showing. Besides interclass games we played Anaheim here on February 9 and lost with a score of 27-22, and on the 23rd we returned the game and lost with a score of 22-l l. However, we are not discouraged, for we expect to do better next year. ' Many girls are coming out for baseball and a good team is being organ- ized. We expect to play with Redondo, Inglewood, and Anaheim besides some interclass games. We are also preparing for several interclass track feats in which very good running and jumping is expected. Much interest is being shown along these lines and we expect to make a good name for ourselves and our school. l... A. S. '2l. W by Page Seventy-nine ,W W V77ff7' - .
