We the Spectrum Sta-ff, feel that with tlze completion of the new building this theme is particularly appropriate. We wish to express the ap- preciation of the entire student body to our Principal, Mr. Thompson, and to the Board of Trustees, Mr. Mayo, Afr. Herskind, Mr. Fl-int, Mr. Ramsaur, and Mr. Daetweilcr, who have made the construction of this beautiful building possible. Too much cannot be said in praise of the efforts of these men. But in a larger sense, Progress in the material structure Ls not tlze only kind enjoyed by this school this year. The class of '27 has known Progress in in- tellectual enlightenment, in spiritual feeling, and in moral growth. They ha-'ve seen Progress in the coin- munity, an enormous growth in population, in business structures, and in beautiful homes. We are living in an age of the greatest Progress in invention and in- dustry the world has ever known. May Progress continue and always be as domin- ant in the future graduating classes from Compton Union High School as it has been in the Class of 1927. THE STAFF. Dedicatee 'WY ' ' v A X X' uf . .1 Way O S THOMPSON E, the students of Compton Union High School, gratefully dedicate the IQ27 Spectrum to our friend and councilor, Oliver Scott Thompson, the man whose personality, cooperation and ability have made possible the build' ing of our great institution of learning, the removal of conditions creating obstacles dijicult for us to overcome, and the advancement of the students toward our great goal f' Knowledge To see him is to become interested, to hear him is to admire him, to know him is an honor, for, as a friend. leader and advisor he is without equal. Dedication I I i lil Tribute -1-. var .. .QW To the Qlass of I Q27 Oh! God teach thy youth the way to serve, The way to live withont too mitch regret, Any may they seek no earthly recompense But do the tasks the world and men forget. Oh! give them but the faintest spark Of that great M aster's heavenly flame, Which warmed a cold and loveless world, And gave to men his nnforgotten name. Teach them to serve in thine own humble way, To show to men that service trne and kind, Is that which makes life sweet with honest joy, And leaves the littleness of men behind. Oh! God whatever path their feet may tread To lead them where their final jonrney ends, Teach them the way to serve the hnngering world, And make of men their everlasting friends.

This was inflected upon us by the class of l92-1. Luckily for the class of 1928. that was the last year hazing was allowed. Clnr Freshman year was an unlucky one. XYe lost in everything. mainly the pushball contest. So we were not allowed to organize until February. Sophomore year found us again slightly unfortunate in the pushball contest. The class of l92S beat us. and they haven't got over it yet. lnterclass debate was introduced that year, and we naturally carried off all the honors due to Mary Roessler and Mary llcKIillan'5 victory. AS Juniors. we came out on high. Xl'e won the interclass basket hall and also interclass debate, due to the efforts of Dorothy Rankin and Francese Abbott. The Junior-F-enior banquet proved to be the best given in C. Lv. ll. S. Being Seniors, found us wide-awake and anxious for work. Wie won in interclass track and interclass basketball. .X contest was held for King and Queen of the Carnival. and a Senior girl, Catherine Stokes, was elected queen. The Seniors challenged the rest of the school to a football game the second XYednesday of May. Neither that nor the interclasi debates have been held, but IIT!! lVi11 fzzst H10 SLIHZF.

The class is quite small, nuinhering only sixteen. lint it is hoping that before it graduates next year there will he others to share its splendid school spirit. Members of the class have entered into niztny school activities this year and made a very fine showing. Some proininent ineinhers til the school are in the class, a few of them heing strong candidates for nizinx honors both in athletics and other activities for next year.

As most fresh- men. they were slow in starting but in February they elected class othcers: Hollie Hughes. presidentg Mildred Newell, vice presidentg Frances XYillard, secretary: Curtis Page, treasurer, and Charles Rozelle, representative. Their tirst victory was the pushhall contest in which they defeated the sopho- mores. They also did well in inter-class debate, losing one and winning one. In their sophomore year the Class of '23 had recovered from their daze and they started real work. The officers for that year were: George Furman. presidentg Hollie Hughes. vice presidentg Ruth Starkey, secretaryg Tom Atkinson. treasurer. and Charles Rozelle, representative. Due to the fact that Miss Martin left for China, the class elected Miss Helen jehfrey their sponsor. The class party in the Lynwood XYonien's cluh house April 7 was a great success.

The dif- ference in the .tXud and the conduct of the students between last year and the present is remarkable. if some of the upperclassmen look back to the days in the old .Xud. livery person had a seat assigned to him or her this year. The Seniors have the choice of the sections which is the front of the middle section. The juniors sat back of the Seniors with the Sophomores on the left and the Freshmen on the right. .Xt the dedication of the .kllfllfflldlllll building, speeches were given by the architect and contractor. on the merits of the building, and the dithculties they encountered during the construction of the building. The Carnival this year was the best affair of that sort to be presented by the Student liody. Much credit should be given the Faculty for their co-operation with the students in making the Carnival such a success.

A student council was formed as an executive body to pass rules of bc- havior. This was carried out very successfully inasmuch as the council drew up a code of behavior which was voted on and passed by the Studen' Body. This is the first year we have had any form of Student Government but it will probably be carried farther in the future. The name of 'iLions was adopted by this school a few years ago but until this year we had no emblem representing the l.ion. This year Mr. Lueders made a cast for a lion from which a lile sized lion was made. There was a special assembly called on Tuesday, March 8, for the dedication of the statue to C. U. H. S. This statue was placed in front ol the ,-Xdininistration building. Not long after this two more statues were obtained and placed on each side of the drive way. On different occasions the student body entertained the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs at the school. l,I'Ug'l'llIllS were arranged and lunch was sheryed. The questions of students wearing' unearned awards was enforced for the first time this year. Action was taken upon many other matters ol less im- portance, all of which contributed in inaking' an improvement over past years. .!'Mm,gL, V ' l4Zl I . 7, Y' 'T'T'hS l IRQ, V-5' .2 .

Data is kept of each student's attendance. merit record and support of the Student Body. The Council is composed of eight members-a representative from each of the live classes, the president of the Student Body, the president of the Girls League. president of the Razor Club, and one yell leader. In this way, the organizations of the school are all brought together in one representative body. ln each roll room. a chairman, vice chairman, secretary and vice secre- tary have been appointed and these officers carry on the ,business affairs of the group and keep the daily records of each student. At the end of each quarter a record is handed in for each student placing him at a certain per cent. .-Xs soon as a student's merit record falls below 95. his roll room chair- man and teacher inform him: falling below 90 he is brought before the Stu- dent Council: falling to 70 he must appear before the Faculty Committee. Although this is only the beginning of life for the Student Council it has accomplished many worth while things. Discussion is taken up about most everything concerning the school. A new system was started for the pur- pose of keeping the grounds clean and neat and we are all proud of the suc- cess of this undertaking. So far 27 students have appeared before the Coun- cil and those students have willingly co-operated by promising to keep their merit records up. The fine spirit of co-operation of all the students has been an inspiration. Bigger things for C. lf. H. S. than have yet been attempted await us for the future. l43l I ' '- 1- ---- 'rex as-I -,131--I -M.-U '--,W L g,g,..., ,,.

This year the League was divided into fourteen individual groups with a faculty advisor for each group. Under the new system much work was accomplished. The largest thing attempted this year was the Carnival. Each group had a booth which they decorated and furnished themselves and many groups had side shows. For Valentines Day some of the girls sent presents to the children in the Children's Hospital and Sanitarium. Uthers sent to the poor children in Europe. On hfay Day the Girl's League had :1 party, progrznn, and ll Klaypole. The girls invited their mothers to this entertainment and everyone had an enioyahle time. Two conventions were held this year, one on Xovemlwor 19-20, 1016, at Monrovia and the other on .Xpril 1, llllf, al South l'asadena. l44l rw -10.1 1 Q- xlqil ' 1 ,z- 1 352,112 lam ak..

The possibilities in this new development of our school lite have not yet begun to be realized For the most part the staff has had to choose material from the contri- butions of the regular English classes, but in another year or so. no doubt those who are essentially interested in taking up writing as their life work and those who like to write only as a pastime will fmd their greatest joy in writing for this little book. A-Xs the number of skilled writers increases. so must the scope of their topics. and by that same token must the publication attract a larger and less restricted group of readers. The people who have the honor of belonging to the hrst stat? are: Mildred Robey, Maysie Johnson. Helene Chandler. lrven Spence. Gladys llarnett. Palmer Abbott, and the faculty advisers, Miss .Xlice Tupman and Mr. Donald Brooks. An entirely new idea encouraging the literary ability ol' Kompton lligh was introduced by a little magazine called The l,ion's Footprints . The tirst edition came out in November and was cleverly advertised by a little program in an assembly. The price of the magazine was set at ten cents. and there were to be only a limited number copies. The wallcing magazine was ushered onto the stage and taken apart proved lo be .lohn Nlillil' holding a copy tal a huge book which was a table oi contents ol' the l.ion's lfootprints. .Xs the pages were turned interesting comments were given about each article which would be found in the new magazine. 15111 gun , t si-f IW' fs-ffl, as-' .YK ,Q ' I SCRIBBLIERS' CLUB Students whu have had the desire tu db creative writing have previflusly had tn depend upbn the instructiun given in various English classes fur their advancement in this chosen wbrk. This is necessarily gfCllC'I'1llfClbVCI'l11g all phases ui Hur language. whereas what they needed was a class devoted en- tirely tw writing. The Seribblers' Club meets such a need. lts purpbse is tu enable buys and girls wh-f like to write to get together and derive mutual benefit frtmm the fllSCl1erl' in and criticism of their literary efforts. It will necessarily encuurage writing it-r the new school magazine. and for outside publicatipns as well. The members will also have at their cummand the experience and teachings wi sfime authwritative critic tn give them real. definite help in writing. The Scribblers' Club had its lmegiim-ing in a chance remark of one of its present members wht, mentifmed that tlnnptmi ought tu have a club fur writers. The advisur. Miss ,Xlice Tupman, spuke to several other girls. and in a few days they met. .Xt the nextimeeting a cunstitutitln was drawn up and the club was rin its way, Tw becrlme a recbggnized Scribbler une must have his name proposed bv some wld member at a regular meeting. The candidate must then submit two original manuscripts. lts merits and the clualihcatiuns of the writer are then discussed and voted upnn, a twn-thirds vbte being necessary for admis- sion. Helene Chandler. Maud Fisher. Margaret Veach, Eva Lindquist. Mildred Rnlpey, Mglysie johnson and Miss Alice Tupman are the charter members of the group. l51l MECHANIC ARTS ASSOCIATION The Hechaiiic Arts Assuciatimi iw Cwiiipmefl ui all lmys taking xx't11'k iii any kiiicl iii the Mechanic flepartmeiit.

The hose cart has been kept busy in practice hy tire drills, and those who helped on the new thirty-foot ladder have learned how to handle it like veterans. Due to the training last year and this year, the time necessary to empty the l-uilflings has been cut down to one minute and thirty seconds, and each boy assigned to the stationary apparatus is on the job every time a tire bell rings. The hearty co-operation given by the students and teachers has helped to give Vf'-mpton the best tire protection of any school of its size in Southern Cali- fornia, The new .-Xrlministration building has stationary two and a half inch hoses in each corridor and several acid tire extinguishers. AX new system of bells for the tire alarm has been installed. lt is a combina- tion of bells and each building on the campus has a ring of its own, thereby sim- plifying the finding of the tire by the liremen and giving better and quicker re- sults. Several false Eres were started by Mr. De Bra so that the tire squad could have some experience in putting out a real lireg and the way they handled it was splendid. l53l Tsi wj., I a- R '+V gary ' K9,, X? fm ,Av l' . . , 4, t 1 M. , ,yi item if iff .

THE GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSUCI.-XTION This is only the second year the li. .X. A. has been organized, but the mem- bership was nearly doubled and is now 124. This shows an increase ot interest in sports among the girls. The aim of this association is To stimulate within the girls a desire for cleaner. better, sportsmanship for all the girls instead of a selected few, Any girl may become a member hy making a team in one of the four sports that are offered. For making these teams the girls are given points and they are added from year to year. Awards are then given for a certain number of points. The awards in order are numerals, large red a pin, and the last award is a pin and guard, the guard being a outlined in pearls. lt is the aim of all the members to get one of these beautiful pins. It usually takes from three to four years to earn a pin. although ten girls are to receive them this year. lt has always been the custom In give them out on Lilass Day. They will be presented by 'lean Ciillette. the President, this year. lt is hoped that in the future a banquet for these girls may he given at the end of each year. There are great possibilities for the ti. ,X. .X., and the advisors are well pleased with the interest the girls are taking in it. l54l 1 THE LIQXELLA FINE ARTS CLUB '1 ll F' - 1' - 1 ne 1 ine a me Arts Llub replaces the bella Musica Club of last year. The name was changed because the old one did not cover as large a field as the new. The object of this club is tn give a clearer vision and understanding of the nne arts such as music. drama. art and dancing. The clul- is affiliated with the State and National Federation of Music clubs, having' large memberships. .X standard pin is Worn by all the various clubs. recog- nized bv any one club. .Xtnong the activities of the club were several interesting programs. A special program in the form of a harp recital was given by Miss Myra Dennis of Glendale High School. This program was most interesting and enjoyed by all. .X very interesting and instructive lecture was given by Mr. VX'alter De Bra on the Science of Music and the tone sounds. Other programs were given by the members themselves which were particularly helpful to them. The one big thing of the year was the program and hall given at the Ambassa- dor Hotel by the junior Opera Society of Los Angeles. Two bus loads of stu- dents from Compton attended and every one had a very enjoyable evening.

THE LIGN'S ROAR The otiicial paper of Compton High School, the Lion's Roar, completed a successful year with its last edition on Thursday, June 2, 1927. For the lirst time in the history of Compton High School the entire paper was printed in the school print shop by students in the printing class conducted by Mr, Brooks. Five special editions were published this year. The first was to commemorate the homecoming day of the Alumni. Events of the day were told and a Welcome given ro the Alumni on behalf of the High School. Following this was the Christmas edition. featuring Christmas stories and events. This was printed in red and white with Merry Christmas in large letters across the page. The third special was the Carnival edition in which much enthusiasm was aroused for the Carnival. The next publication was the Junior edition. This was written entirely by the -luniors and was considered one of the best of the whole year. Last but not least was the Mud Slinging edition. Some very original and funny stories were in this number, which on April nrst, featured April Fool's day. The Lions Roar is one of the greatest factors in the progress of the school. ThiS paper has much influence over the movements of the students and the fac- ulty. It has helped raise enthusiasm for our various activities, and has kept the students informed on all topics of interest concerning the school. .-......,, 6 +- l59l . 1 . rx , ix1,f 1iif- it N-i, i ,, , -A ., .

These classes started as just a part-time subject in 1921 and gradually in- creased until it is a required daily suhject. The hrst part of this course takes up the anatomy of the body and physiology. The latter part taking up the study of hed appliances. hed making. care of sick. study of medicines, home nursing and hrst aid. The Home Nursing classes had a booth at the Annual Industrial Exposition. This department has also done one other thing of special interest during the last semester. That is attending the L. .X. County Hospital. Inspecting the hospital proved to he a great help for the students. It taught theni niany things that cannot he learned from hooks. This course' as a Whole is indeed helpful and interesting and is taught hy our school nurse, Miss Marie VVieck, who is very etlicient at all tinies. C. U. H. S. ALUMNI ASSOCl.sX'l'It3X The year of l926-27 has heen a niost successful one for the local iXlnnini Association. Our athletic teams have hronght honors to the school and their association. Uur last year's hanquet was a huge success with two hundred and seventy-two present and this year', to he held on Alnne ll, 1927. is going to far surpass all previous .Nlunini gatherings. l60l THE OPERETTAS This has been a decidedly musical year in the music department. The four instructors. Mrs. Emma M. Bartlett, head of the departmentg Lillian G. Healy, Evalyn Solomon and Hr. Belprez, have spent many busy moments in bringing this about. The nrst event was the musical sketch, XVillow Pattern Plate, presented by the Girls' Glee Club. Not to be outdone by the girls, the boys gave the musical sketch Robinhood. A one-act opera. Trial by Jury, by Gilbert Sullivan. was jointly presented by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, forming part of the evenings program, the orchestra concert the other part. The Harbor District Eisteddfod brought out the latent abilities of many of the students and they were rewarded with banners and medals. Some of them also winning in the finals held in Los Angeles. THE PIANO CLASSES The piano classes, under the direction of Miss Healy, have grown larger than ever before. About forty students have availed themselves of the opportunity to take this subject as a solid, and many more have come into the classes for one or two lessons a week. lt was found advisable to divide the annual recital into two sections. The Intermediate Recital being held lYednesday, May 25, at ll :3O, in the Music Build- ing and the Advanced Recital, Friday afternoon, May 27. Voice pupils of Mrs. Bartlett and pupils from Miss Solomon's instrument classes contributed several pleasing selections to both programs. Each year brings forth new talent and the programs become more interesting each season. Both recitals were attended by a large number of parents and friends.

The Band played at the football and basketball games also for pep assemblies and at the Home-Coming of the Alumni. It did a large part in putting over the school Carnival in December. The Band led the school parade to the annual Compton Exposition. On different days the brass quartet and sextet played selections at this show. They also helped in advertising different school ac- tivities. After basketball season the members rested for a awhile. but are starting again under the direction of Mr. A. Belprez.

SENIOR SNEAK DAY ' O11 ,l2lUllH1'j' 6. the members of the Senior class '27 started for Big Pines Ill every kind of conveyance ranging from Packards down to Fords and trucks. The majority of the class were early risers for most of them reached the mountains in time to view tniaybe for the first timej the sun rise. On arriving nt Big Pines and :ilighting from their cars, the crowd was greeted on all sides by snow banks which were a sight many had never seen before. The gods were kind on this day for thev treated the seniors to a snow storm which brought shricks of delight from even the hearty Easterners in their midst. From then on it was one grand frolic. Jkt the risk of their lives a great number of the crowd climbed the side of the park and, although many hard jolts were received. they were all forgotten in the joy and excitement found in tobogganiiig. Because the melted snow had begun to freeze in the road and the fog was rising. it was recommended that everyone start for home, thus ending rt day which will live for ever in the minds of every member of the Class of '27. RUB E DAY l :Xt last came the long awaited day. The one and only day on which the Seniors were undistinguishable from the rest of the school. XYith their costumes and farmery makeup it was utterly impossible to discern any difference whatso- ever lietween the mighty class of '27 and their rival classes. Moreover, the class put one over on the rest of the school by having Rube Day, May 10, instead of the llth of Hay, at which time they stood the entire Student Body in football and established an unprecedent standard of supremacy. This years Rube Day has been acclaimed by all. the most successful one in the history of the School. As mentioned above, the Seniors had previously de- cided to make up similar to the everyday habit of the Junior and Sophomores. Carrying this idea out to the peak of perfection, the Seniors were only with the greatest of difficulty separated from the students on this memorial day when they came ridiculously and comically attired as hayseed farmers, old men and old- fashioried women. babies, youngsters, scholars, and other varieties of the human race. lt was certainly comical when the .lunior and Sophomores came up laugh- ing and giggling at our costumes, little realizing that they were gazing on replicas of themselves. JUNIOR-SENIQR BANQUET Xever before in the history of Compton High School has there been a ban- quet so successful as that of the Juniors and Seniors which was held Friday, May tu entv-seventh. Dnlike previous banquets, it was held at the Belmont Beach Club of Long Beach. - Tom Atkinson, the Junior class president, was toastmaster for the occasion and started the wheels rolling. After the dinner, the party adjourned to the magnificent ball room where they danced until 12 130. The music was furnished by the Belmont Beach Club orchestra and the serv- ice by the Sophomore girls. l67l PRESS CONVENTION During the year delegates from the l.ion's Rear and Spectrum Staff at- tended twin Prews Cnm'entinn5, one at Chaffee lfninn lligh School and one at Santa Mnmca High School.

During fourth period an assembly was held to in- troduce the Club. Mr. llattier. the president of the Club, expressed the appreciation of the mem- bers to be able to visit our school. .lack XYillard. as the president of the student body. told how glad he was to have the club as our guests. Mr. CJ. S. Thompson welcomed the club on behalf of the faculty and thanked the club for the co-operation they have always shown. Mr. lfrnest lhigas. chairman of the niinstrel show, gave a short talk on the show which is to be giyen .lunc ll and asked the co-operation of the stu- dents to make it a success. The Kiwanis Club lunched with the students in the cafeteria where they sang songs and had their usual fun. The Musical Nine under the direction of Mrs. Bartlett entertained during luncheon. The Student Council introduced and explained the method and re- sults of the co-operative Student Body government. The luncheon was concluded with the Kiwanis Song, Hail liiwanisf to the tune of California Hail. the song of the Ifniversity of California. THE ROTARY CLUB The Rotary Club of Compton was entertained by the Students of Compton High on April 19. An assembly was held in the morning at which Mr. Geoffrey Morgan gave an interesting talk on The Man Ahead. At noon the Rotarians were entertained in the school Cafeteria by the Stu- dent c-wuncil. After lunch was served. Another assembly was held to welcome the Rotarians. Mr. G. L. Dummit then thanked the students and faculty and offered their help and co-operation at any time. 1 The Rotarians were shown around the campus. They visited the shops. science, and mathematics departments. INDUSTRIAL EXPQSITION From the first to the seventh of March the merchants of Compton held their Third Annual Industrial Exposition and Rabbit Show and it was so great a suc- cess that two more days were given to an already more than successful week. The C. Li. H. S. 'corner was constructed and maintained by the Manual Arts Department and the Electrical display was quite fascinating. Uther booths in the big tent were very interesting and it is hardly probable that those who Went did not de- rive much from the delightful entertainment which was present on all occasions. The main show was made up of industrial and business exhibits from Compton, but if one wished to enjoy one's self by throwing balls at dolls in any other car- nival fgighioii, he could do it right here. A very good show of Abner K. Kline was obtained through the influence of Mr. Hubert Allen who was Chairman of the exhibit. It was an exhibit that the students of Compton High will never forget. and it was all due to their whole hearted support which made it a success. l69l Q.. X - , -.

February 25, was the annual Junior play. The young hero, John Paul Bart. started out in life as a very poor man em- ployed in a small, out-of-the-way tailor shop. But, with amazing selfcontidence and slight scruples, Paul Bart breaks into society with Mr. Jellicottls only dress suit which he has borrowed without permission from the tailor shop aided only by a great knowledge and an eternal flow of big Words. Mr. Bart, the only uninvited guest of the party, succeeds in making himself quite a social success. He makes the acquaintance of Mr. Nathan who is so en- tranced with Paul Bart's oration of his ambitions that he offers him the position as his secretary. He makes good but, all good things not lasting forever, he is forced to tell his story, after which he quietly goes back to the tailor shop. Many society friends visits here to see the impostcr, poking fun nt him, and abusing him. One of his last guests is Mr. Nathan to whom Paul lktrt begins to apologize. The apology is not accepted hut a re-oder of thc same position is nizitle and is accepted. The play was touched with humor thruoul. l'ctcr hlcfoukic :is the valet at the party made such mistakes in his ignorzuice :is lo put everyone out of QQSQ. Melodrama was also present. The Tailor Made Maui Wash huge success. The auditorium was packed and everyone left highly szuislied with the play. l78l Q ,L f Wi ,X ,, 5 ff bf X y f M V' 1 7' N . , ' . 51 A1 ' , ,,,' if , xq -- , S- ' V K 4 , W ,win 7 1 ' A 2 2 5 0 h w w? ,f ' V 5 - Q W. f 3 ' F V155 i I' Spa, T B.

The extraordinary feature of the play, The lmportance of Being Earnestf' was the fact that it was produced entirely by faculty members. Committees had charge of the advertising. ticket selling, ushering and stage management as well as the actual presentation. The play, directed by Miss Edith Sanborn and Miss Mary Meyersieck, was one of the most successful that has ever been produced in Compton. The story centered around two young couples, Mr. Algernon Moncrieff and Miss Cecily Cardew, Mr. john XYorthing and Miss Gwendolyn Fairfax, who were engaged to be married. Since the name f'Earnest seemed to have a peculiar fascination for both the girls, each of the hances led his sweetheart to believe that his name was Earnest. VYhile the girls were talking over their affairs together, they ar- rived at the conclusion that they were both engaged to marry the same man and a quarrel ensued as to which had the prior claim. As the plot progressed, however. the real names of the lovers were re- vealed and they found themselves in a very deplorable predicament. They consulted the venerable Reverend Chasuble in regard to a second christening and had even become so desperate as to set a definite time for the ceremony. when the girls interfered. declaring that they preferred the real names of their Frances to common, ordinary Earnest , so all ended peacefully. In addition to these two love stories upon which the play was based. there was another affair which added much to its success. Miss Prism. a typical spinster and the extremely conscientious governess of Cecily. had fallen deeply in love with Reverend Chasuble. This also ended happily. Lady Bracknell was an interesting character as the society lady who was so anxious that her daughter, Gwendolyn. marry into a good family. Mr. Moncrieffs valet, Lane. and Mr. lYorthing's butler, Merriman. added to the humor of the production. Another important feature of the program was the music which was greatly enjoyed by the audience and was provided between the acts by faculty members. Miss Alice Tupman played a violin solo and also a violin obligato to Il trio sung by Mrs. Bartlett, Miss Solomon and Miss Blankenship. Miss llezlly and Miss Solomon played two pleasing piano duets and a male quartet composed of Messrs. Popple. lN'eaver, Thompson and liicldulph representing l-Lll'lllC1'S sang two numbers which were especially enjoyed.

It was under the direction of the drama teacher Miss Leona Smith. This short play was given for the approval of the student body fourth period on December 16. Cn April 7 it was entered into the Eisteddfod contest held at the San Pedro High School. The play took second place and received a silver medal. The story is of the modern working girl and her ideas. Sally is a girl of ideals while Minnie is a girl of hard truth. Sally's ideal is her lover and a vine covered home. Minnie cannot see life in this way and tries to make Sally see that dreams never come true. It is impossible to shatter Sally's faith in her lover. He calls her his Columbine and he is Harlequin. They were to go that night to live in their vine covered cottage. This seemed impossible to Minnie but not to Sally because all things seem possible in love. Minnie goes to the dance quite unconvinced that Harlequin will come. but Sally's dreams came true and Columbine and Harlequin went to live in their vine covered cottage. THE CLQDU The Clod a play given by the members of the Drama class under the su- pervision of Miss Leona Smith was given in the Auditorium on Armistice Day. November ll. 1926. The setting of the story was the Civil XYar. lt is the story of a woman who worked hard all her life. She was always tired and slow in getting about. Her husband, Thaddius, never worked. He was a lazy, but comical old man. Mary. Thaddius's wife, was aroused by a loud knock on the door. As Mary opened the door two Confederate soldiers entered and demanded to search the house. They left to search the yard first and then demanded that food be ready when they returned. XYhile they were out. a Northern soldier came out of a room and told of the important papers he had for the Xorthern army and how he had entered to protect himself against the Confederates. He asked her if she would help him escape. She refused to help him because she only wished to be left alone to rest. Aroused at last beyond endurance, she shot the Confederates and the Northerner went on his way. The cast was as follows: Clayton Foster as Thaddius. Sam Brown as the Northerner. YVilliam Kruft as the Confederate othcer. Hugh Vtfard as a Confederate soldier. Maude Fisher as Mary or the Clod. THE POT BOILICRS The Pot Boilers was presented by the stage craft class on .Xpril S.

Fred Lulbertson upheld the part of the handsome hero in a verv admirable manner. Bob Klcliay, as Klr. Ivory, the father of the heroine. carriediout the dramatic part of the play in an excellent manner. The boys took the female roles, llector llecock as Mrs. Pincile the villianess one of the most striking features of the play. Miss Ivory was played bv james Fesler, who proved to be a very beautiful heroine. ' TRIAL BY JURY The interesting satire Trial by jury was presented bv the bov's and girl's glee clubs combined and proved to be a huge success. I I The scene takes place in an lfnglish Court of justice where a voting ladv none other than Pauline Gastrich is seeking a divorce from her cruel husband De lYayne Harrison. The dignified judge Tom Gilchrist took a great fancy to the young lady and immediately set about to seek a divorce for her.

I 83 l THE CHARM SCHOOL , THE SENIOR PLAY Un the evening of May 20, friends of the Compton high school gathered at the auditorium to see the most charming play that has ever been presented by any Senior class. The Charm School. The Charm School is a comedy in three acts hy Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, presented first at the New Bijou Theater. New York City. August 2, 1920. The hero. ,lack XYillarcl as Austin Bevans, suddenly inherited a girls' boarding school. He at once took full charge of the school. much to the an- noyance of Miss Hays. Maud Fisher, and Homer Johns. Stanley Lind. He also hrought four of his friends to teach some new suhjects. At this sudden introduction of men into a hitherto very strictly con- ducted institution, it hecame quite popular. The girls and Miss Curtis. Thelma Fournier, lost their primness and actively cultivated the quality of charm. An unforgettahle scene was the buggy ride when Marietta llrown :ts Elise Benedotti made love to Austin lwetween crealts and jerks. Miss Leona V. Smith directed the play with such completeness :md inten- sity that The Charm School was very successful although the eztst had had only four weeks' practice.

They threatened again in the third quarter hut again failed. In the fourth quarter the Samohis opened up with passes and threat- ened twice but were stopped. The Samohis tried two drop kicks in this quarter but were unsuccessful. All in all it was a whale of a game with the result always in tloulwt.

The Lions scored early in the first period when Fesler picked up a fumbled ball on the 15-yard line and galloped for a touchdown. The re- mainder of the half was quite even with both teams getting off some good plays. The beginning of the second half found the Sentinels opening up with an aerial attack seeking to overcome the 7-point lead held by Compton, but most of the passes were grounded. In the beginning of the fourth quarter Holmes intercepted a pass and ran to the 2-yard line before being downed. An off-tackle buck resulted in a score. The remainder of the game found the Sentinels slinging passes to all parts of the field to no avail.

The rest of the game was played in mid-held except for the last few seconds of play when a Lion back tore through the line and was downed in the fifteen-yard line as the gunls report ended the game. The Sea Hawks displayed a very effective passing attack throughout the game. The light Redondo team showed a stuhhorn defense at all times and y1elded ground slowly, often nailing a Lion hack before he could get started. COMPTON, Og VENICE, 13 It was a cold, dreary afternoon and a sad one for Compton when the 'Venice varsity team romped their way to a l3-0 victory over the Lionsg the winners of a hard fought game on Armistice Day.

CGMPTON, 33 HUNTINGTON PARK, 7 In the last Bay League game of the season, played on our own gridiron November 19, the Lions met a bitter 7-3 defeat at the hands of their Spartan rival. The game was close throughout with the Lions having the advantage on points and passes while H. P. made most of her yardage on plunges through the line. The end of the first half found the score O-O. H. P. kicked off in the last half. Holmes received the ball and ran back to the Spartan twenty-five yard line. The Lions bucked to the 4-yard line where they were held. H. P. punted out but Compton was battling on the 5-yard line shortly after due to along pass from Yancey to Myers which placed the ball within scoring distance. The Lions were held for three downs. Fesler came out of the line and booted the ball squarely between the posts for three points. The Spartans scored in the final period after a series of line bucks.

'vas The Lions were played to a stand-still in the first three quarters of the. game and the gun reporting the end of the half was the only thing which sayed them from being scored on. The Lions had the advantage in the hrst quarter, but in the second the Sentinels opened up and marched down the field and were pounding on the one yard line when. the gun ended the half. Q The third period was quite even. the ball staying in mid-field. The tourth opened with a blocked kick which Compton quickly turned into a score. The last score came a few minutes later when the cubs, after inter- cepting a pass. bncked the ball across. Both teams played good ball but the Green and XYhite weakened in the last quarter. COMPTON, lo: RICDONDO, 13 The Lions cubs puinineled a game Redondo eleven into submission No- yember -l. winning lb-l3 in a game played in our own stadium. The Lions ran wild in the first period. scoring two touchdowns before the dazed Sea Hawks could get started. ln the second period they gar- nered another but Redondo woke up and gained effectively on passes and then a stocky little Sea Hawk back ran through the entire team for 25 yards to a touchdown. Redondo started the last half by scoring immediately but it proved to be their final rally. the Lions scoring again in the last quarter on a four yard run. The Sea Hawks' well-developed passing gained considerable for the losers. the Lions being unable to fathom their very deceptive formation. CUMPTON. O: YENICE. 20 The fighting Lion cubs went down to an honorable 20-O defeat before the heayy Venice eleven in our own stadium November lO in a game which was hard-fought from the opening whistle till the final report of the gun. The score does not tell of the gallant struggle that the cubs made to keep their record unblemished. They fought and fought. and then fought some more. but the heayy Yenice squad could not be denied. They earned every bit that they succeeded in getting. scoring in the first, third, and last quarters after long marches down the field. The game was hotly contested but the Venice squad maintained a slight superiority throughout. CQMPTON, O: HUNTINGTON PARK, 31 On November l8. the Lions were defeated in the final League game by the overwhelming score of Sl-O by the undefeated H. P. eleven on the lat- ter's field. The Spartans scored two touchdowns in the second quarter, a field goal in the third. and two more touchdowns in the last. The Lions played poor football, seemingly unable to get going. They held their own in the nrst period but were completely stopped in the rest of the game. The defeat put the Lions completely out of the running for the pennant and left H. P. and Venice in a tie for first place, each having won six games and tied one. l93l 30-U 1 151 '11111' 1 CL.-XSS FUOTRALL '4211 51-1111111 XYZLN ll very r111'c1:w1u1 11116 1111- the midget-. fl111511111g' 111 1111111 111:11'1- 111111 :1 11c1'111-111z1gc 111 10.1.

I VARSITY BASKETBALL Basketball has become one of the most popular sports in C. U. I-I. S. since the Lion casaba live copped the championship last year. Although Compt011 did not win the pennant this year they were defeated only once and that one basket to a team which later took the Southern California championship. The Lions hold a record which few teams in the Bay League can equal. hav- ing lost only one game out of thirteen League games played in the last two years. IK'hen the call for candidates was issued in December, four regular letter- men from last yearls championship five donned the Red and White again. VVith Captain Earle Holmes at running guard, John Burke at standing guard. Spider', Burton Myers at center. Ran Myers and Harold Derfelt at for- wards, the Lions had a team which had played together the whole preceding year with the exception of Derfelt. a transfer from San Pedro. Derfelt filled in very nicely and played the whole game throughout the season. Although the Coast League is known as the strongest league in Southern California, Bay League schools do not seem to have very much trouble in defeating their representatives in play-off games or in practice' tilts, so Coast League schools will have to look out for their laurels in future years. The Lions showed real championship forrn in their first game when they defeated the strong IYilson Bears lS-9 on our own floor in a game that was in doubt only before the starting' whistle. IYilson is a new school just ad- mitted to the Bay League this year. The Bears showed exceptional strength for their first year and promise to challenge the supremacy of older schools in every line of sports in coming years. In the second League encounter the Varsity journeyed down to San Pedro and handed the Pirates the short end of a 16-S score. The Pirates had a fast, strong team this year and the Lions showed real iight and power to de- feat this hardy and determined squad. Showing unexpected strength the Inglewood Sentinels nearly toppled the King of Beasts from his throne in a game played on our opponents tioor. In the third quarter the Lions rallied and managed to defeat them ll-S. Then the Sentinels, due to late football. did not present their usual fine polish. but displayed their customary fight and the Lions barely nosed them out. The Varsity came out of the slump into which they had fallen the pre- vious week to ring up their fourth straight victory 17-l3 over the title-as- piring Santa Monicans. The victory was due very much to the sensational work of Ram Myers who rang up four consecutive foul shots to put the game on ice for Compton. Remembering their humiliating defeat at the hands of Yenice on the gridiron, the Lions rose up on their haunches and smote the tiondoliers down to the tune of l7-14 in the fifth straight win of the season in a game play-Cd on our own floor. VVith the championship at stake the Lions played the Spartans on our rival's court. One basket lost them the game and incidentally the title. Stag- ing a rally in the final period, time unfortunately overlook the Compton five before they could sink the tieing basket and the llnntington Park team won 17-15 in a game that had none of the aspects of a championship fray. In the final game of the season the Redondo Sea Hawks were defeated 16-I4 at the hand of the l.ion basket tossers. l98l -'Q , A a 'N' Q , 4 -i-..,. LIGHTXYEIGHT BASKETBALL Coinpton and Yenice finished in a tie for the championship and divided hrst and second place points hetween them for the athletic cup. Due to the fact that Venice is a city school. she was not allowed to represent the hay League in play-off games an-I so Compton, the next in line, did so. IYith Captain Bus Barnes and Tommy Atkinson at forwards, Nichols at center, an-l Tweedy and Ilrown at guards, the Lion Cuhs formed a squad which was one of the strongest in the League. Coach I,ine's Littlis swamped the Nklilson live to a fare-ye-well in their hrst conference tilt. The llears were no match for the smooth-functioning Lion quintet and we-nt flown to a 23-6 defeat. In the second League encounter. the Lites showed real power and ahility to hit strange lJ2Lrl-iL'Ir when they downed the Pedro Pirates Sl-ll on their own door. The court was slippery and the C1 nnpton players had dirhculty in keeping on their feet at times. In a gaine that took an extra period to decide the winner and the team which was to remain in the running for the pennant, the Lions defeated the Inglewood Sentinels 29-25 in the lastest and most thrilling game of the season. The Lions led in the tirst quarter hut dropped hehind in the second. Coming hack strong the Lions overtook the Sentinels in the third period hut a few minutes hefore the final whistle they were trailing hy three haskets and Inglewood apparently had the game packed away in moth halls. Then the Lions staged an irresistahle drive which ended only as the whistle hlew heralding the end of the linal quarter hut not of the game hecause Compton had evened the score at 25-all. In the extra period a Lion forward sank two long shots and the game was won. I99l i y ,3,,..,mi ,Ir 1' i'.gj,g,Qi 's'J i . . ' I - g Q. . ?

Santa Monica went down to a 26-14 defeat at the hands of Compton in a game that was slow and uninteresting in comparison with the game of the preceding week. Compton tasted her only defeat at the hands of Venice when the latter con- quered the fighting Lion casaba five 32-30 in a game which required three extra periods to decide. The Lions played up to standard but Venice played over their heads throughout the entire game. Ringing baskets with seeming ease from aux' position of the floor the Cvondoliers deserved to win for they undoubtedly played ffood basketball and were the best team on that day. Smarting from their defeat of the previous week, the Cubs trampled all over their rivals from across the way, 29-18, in a bitterly fought game whose outcome was never in doubt. The contest was staged on our riv:1l's court. Played to a standstill by the fighting Redondo five, the Lions finally emerged ID victorious 16-12 after three periods of battling on even terms, and then finally managed to squeeze them out in the last quarter. ' Fullerton managed to put the skids under the l.ions in the first round of the Southern California play-offs, defeating them, 24-18. , -N ,wx may L.

Llining back strong the next week. the Midgets soundly spanked the Pedro Pirates 20-12 in a game which was never in doubt. lnability to hit the basket spelled defeat when the lnglewood Sentinels returned home on the long end of a l3-6 score. Scoring an early lead the Lions managed to nose out the Santa Monica five by an lN-7 Count on the latter! cheese-box floor in the fourth League game.

Lf l-l. S. history. The fleas were dangerous contenders for the pennant from the first game until the last. when staleness and consciousness of how much the game meant caused them to be de- feated, although a win would have meant the championship. Inglewood copped the flag but this team suffered defeat at the hands of the Lions' little but mighty team. Playing the first League game with excellent support from three rooters. the Fleas annexed the first League game 12-9 by romping on the YX'ilson Bears. Unleashing a furious attack in the first half, the young Lions coasted home to a 27-6 victory over the Pedro Pirates in the local gym. Although it was rumored that they were to withhold their attack until the seeond half, the Lions kicked the dope bucket to the four winds by playing the Inglewood Sentinels off their feet by an lS-ll score. VVith a chance to win or tie the game in the last few minutes of play. a Santa Monica player kindly missed two free goals, enabling the tleas to win by a ll-ll count. Brother Fate, in the shape of staleness and a strange eonrt, enabled the Venice casaba five to humble the Compton quintet 35-o on tlie winners' lloor in a game with the Gondoliers leading throughout. Coming back strong the next week, the lfleas sonndlv tronnced the ll. P. Spartans l8-4 in a game devoid of thrills except for the fael that we were playing our rivals. Surprising the Lions by a bewildering attack the Redondo live swept to a 20-IU victory over the pennant-seeking Lion squad in the linal League game played on the Sea-llawks' court. 1 io: 1 BAY LEAGUE TRACK Vfith only tour lettermen hack.

In the preliminaries on April 23, johnson was eliminated in the second heat after winning a first heat by the excellent time of l5.3. Orr failed to get into the money in the Wright events. Cox, the Lion's Steller broad jumper. failed to place. Yan Osdel was the l.ion's lone point maker in this track test. Bob leaped 5 feet, 10 inches to tie with XYilson of Hemit for first place. Bob failed to get one of his good jumps. He has easily cleared 6 feet during the season, and his failure to capture first was a big upset. Glendale ran away with the meet. garnering SU6 points to l5 for Pasadena and Santa Ana their nearest rivals who tied for second.

Ko lertermen reported for practice when the call was issued early in the spring due to-graduation. C1 mach Suggett took charge this year and although no cham- pionship team is expected at the time this hook goes to press. they have won- derful possiliilities. Xliith a few exceptions the entire squad is made up of hluniors an-.l uviflerclassmen. The nine has defeated such strong nines as Fullerton, Downey. Gardena. and Excelsior in practice games and with a little more experience should grow stronger as the season advances. No man has his place cinched and the lineup will prolialnly not lie the same in any two games. The l.ion's only chuckers are Hughes and Smith. These two hoys will prob- ahly liear the lirunt of the l,ion's attack. Swain, Furman, and DuYal are waging a merry hattle for the liackstop position. .Xt this time. Swain seems to have the edge on his opponents. and will prolmalmly hold down this position for the nrst part of the season at least. Xkvyman has nrst lvase cinched. Stanton started the season at second. Tweedy has played the majority of the games at short, and has proved himself capalile of holding down this position in lmig league style. Schleiliaum is holding down third at the time of this writing. Left held is taken care of by llecock: center held lay the l.ion's dusky slugger, and right hy Cano. Competition is keen and the line-up is due for a change any time. Every posi- tion is hotly contested for. so consequently, if a regular slacks down there will he another who will eagerly jump into harness. The l.ion's have showed very little stick work up In the present time. lint should improve as the season pI'frQ'I'f'rS6jr.

As we go to press, the local racquet wielders have held successful matches with the alumni, Long Beach and Franklin High Schools, lrlarvard Military Academy, and others. The Red and White court demons have given a good account of themselves in every match. I The team is just counnencing its Bay league competition at this writing so the best we can do is to wish them luck inv their remaining contests. .Xs some of the players were out for basketball, they were late in reporting for tennis practice. a tact which has reduced the championship chances somewhat. However. the boys are deterniined to come through, although the best prep players in the South inust be niet in the l.eaf-'ue schedule. 6 The teain nieinbers are lYillard Yoit, captain: .Xllison Hatcher. Carl Anderson, Chester Emory, Roland llallou. and .fXrthur Gregory. They play in the following positions : First singles: Captain IYillard Yoit. First doubles: Carl Anderson and Allison I-Iatcher. Second singles: Chester Emory. Second doubles: ,Xrthur Gregory and Roland Ballon. Letterinen from last year are Anderson, Hatcher, Voit and Emory. Since Captain Yi-it. Hatcher. Emory and Ballou are seniors, there is a chance for every- body next year. There are about twenty players out for tennis, which constitutes a new record at Compton. In this and other ways, a noticeable increase in interest has been shown, which is hoped will not die out in future years. GIRLS, TENNIS The girls' tennis team is as important as their basketball and baseball teams but there is very little attention paid to them. They play other schools in the league, and work for the championship. Tennis is a very interesting game but to be able to play the game is more interesting. Although tennis is a quite strenuous game it is one of the best muscle games there is. Because it is so strenuous it is quite difficult to get ffirls to come out tor it. b Due to the fact that the tennis teams of last year were graduated, the team for this year had to be formed from entirely new material. As only a few of these girls areigraduating, great work is expedted for next year. The tennis team selected by Miss Florence Davison, the girls' tennis coach. Wag Rosalyn Phillips. Helen Barnes, Lucy Bell Fraser, Edith Gwen, Marian Fir- kins and Aileen Reifsnyder. The captain of the team was Helen Barnes and the manager was Rosalyn Phillips. This year was the first year that a tennis tourna- mentiivas played oft hetween the classes. The tournament this year began on May 5, Compton playing Santa Monica. On May 13 Compton played Inglewood, and on May 16 played their old rivals H. P. Ending the tournament on May 19, Compton played Redondo. l1071 .

WJ GIRLS' ATHLETICS Under the efficient coaching of Miss Florence Davision and Miss Margaret Blankenship. the girls interest in sports has increased marvelously. The inter- class cup which was awarded to the Juniors last year is again being awarded to the Winning class of twenty-seven. This season opened with volley ball, which was won by the luniors. the Sophomores taking second place, the Freshmen third, and the Seniors last. The all-star volley ball team for play day was chosen from these four teams. The next sport which was something entirely new in Compton this year for the girls was hockey. The only game played was between the upper classmen. consisting of Juniors and Seniors, and the lower classmen consisting of Sophomores and Freshmen. The game was played after school and proved to be very interesting. The lower classmen soon lost heart thus losing the game. The next sport being basketball was one of especial interest. .Xll girls are in- terested in basketball and seemed to come out more for the teams. The teamwork and playing has improved a great deal this year. The games were played after school and proved to be hard fought and exciting. This. too, was also won hy the mighty Juniors. The Seniors took second, Sophomores thirtl, and Freshmen fourth. Baseball is a sport that always holds the interest ol the girls.
