Heavenly angels swept from above Into a home of love, Lifting their voices in song of His praise, Only to blow out a light, For numbered are our days — Leaving us to sigh for a soul that is gone; Yes, just for a little while. Where is the happy boy? Where is his joyous smile? Gone — but just for a little while! Where is the one whom all could esteem? Gone, my friends, to the land of his dream. — Opal Ruth (This spontaneous tribute to the memory of a schoolmate loved by all is printed as it came from the pen and heart of its writer.) two 3ht DHemnriam O the students and faculty of Corona High School, the death of WALTER EDWIN HILL is indeed a sad loss. He was our friend, our companion. To his class- mates he has been, probably all unwittingly, an ideal: high-minded, fair, and true in all that he did. Too shy to find recitation easy, Edwin was of the type who never gave up until the lesson assinged had been mastered. His scholastic standing, distinctly above the average, showed diligent application to each task. For two years a member of the Executive Board of the Student Body, during one of which he served also as fire chief for the school, he has shared in the activities of the Spanish Club, the Hi-Y, and the DeMolay. Athletics found him a star player, a “four season man,” out for football, basketball, baseball, and track. Despite these varied interests, Edwin always had time to help the other fellow. As he has been in the past, so he will continue: ED- WIN HILL, our friend and companion, his high ideals our standard, his slow smile of comradeship and ap- proval reward complete for valiant endeavor. FOREWORD T)ROBABLY the most arresting figure produced by our generation is Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, whose unassuming manner and matter-of-fact courage have become a by-word in homes the world around. He it is who has suggested to us the theme for our yearbook. “We’ has become a national synonym for self-forgetful co-operation. The Student Body of Corona High School is based upon mutual effort and organized for mutual profit. I HL CORONAL is the Student Body yearbook, chron- icling student endeavors and achievements throughout the year. As Student Body representatives, the editorial staff has endeavored to make this book present the stu- dent from the student’s own viewpoint. The selling price of such an annual is never sufficient to meet the cost of publication. The difference, in our case, is covered by funds received from the sale of adver- tising space. Believing that the same policy of recipro- city should apply in business relationships, the mana- gerial staff has solicited advertisements only from those merchants who would find in the student body a genuine buying public. Our book is now completed. The staff has exerted itself to the utmost. Student, faculty member, merchant- each has contributed his portion. Therefore, we, the Staff, present to the public this record of what WE, the Students of Corona High School, have achieved: THE CORONAL OF 1930 four THE CORONAL ?uU i skael nnua II 31 TW %KJ UJ H A t 7 ‘ r _ _ kooi.:.

Elizabeth Campbell fourteen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY G RANDPA,” said Jack III, “tell ’bout your high school, ’bout your class ” “Well, son,” said Jack I, “that was a long time ago. We certainly were scared when the upper-classmen made fun of us, but we soon got over our fears and showed we were full of pep. Rally Night came early in the year our class putting on a mock wedding with June Berg as bride and Fleet Harrison as groom. “As sophomores we lost no opportunity to share in school activities. Football found Felix, Lawrence Hanna, and Clifford on the heavyweight team. Helen won first prize in the local and honorable mention in the national Butterick Dressmaking Contest. Seven sophomores were in the Honor Society. “In our junior year, Margaret Welch won first place in the Forensic with her essay, ‘Artists and Engineers.’ In interclass the junior boys placed first. The girls contributed largely to the school teams. Helen further honored the class by being selected as lead in ‘The Belle of Barcelona’. The crowning triumph of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, a huge success. The dinner served at the American Legion Home was followed by a theater party at the Fox Riverside. l Then, my boy came our last year in high school — our senior year, the happiest, yet the saddest of the four. We chartered a truck and went to the Valley of the Falls, Ditch Day — such a gay and carefree bunch! Yells were given and songs sung until every one was weak with fun and excitement. “Our senior play, ‘The Arrival of Kitty’, was a great success, with Thelma as Kitty; Lois as Jane; and Algy as Bob, sweetheart of Jane and impersonator of Kitty. Chester Lytle as William Winkler, an elderly beau; Leonard Pate as Benjamin Moore, a disappointed suitor; Betty Webster as Aunt Jane, a high-strung lady in search of a husband — all proved most amusing. On May 15, the seniors gave for the student body a play entitled ‘How the Story Grew’. “Oh, yes, 1 almost forgot Lemonville, ‘The Lady of the Terrace’. Jack Cunning- ham was a howling success as the Irish servant; Elizabeth Campbell as the beautiful American girl, and Mildred Phillips in the title rol e added charm.” “Our class, Jack, was the first to be graduated from any place other than the high school. We held our commencement exercises in the Corona Theater, in the heart of each senior a sincere wish for the success of Corona High.” Grandpa stared at the dancing flames in the big fireplace, a smile of reminiscent pleasure on his face. “Those were the days, the good old days,” he murmured. “Ah Jack, just wait till you’re a senior. You’ll know then something of the joys your grandparents experienced. Jove! I can hear it yet, our class yell in assembly • S-E-N- I-O-R-S! Are we seniors? Well, I guess!’ ” Jack III woke with a convulsive start as his mother came to take him off to bed. Jack I smiled sheepishly at his daughter-in-law. “That’s all, son. Try to make your class proud of you.” fifteen SENIOR PROPHECY June, 1940 Unkind Fate! How it upsets all our plans! The fate of the class of ’30 is enough to make the most hard-hearted person weep bitter tears. Algy Unruh and Paul Farmer, those gallant souls are emptying garbage cans in a London slum. Cedric McNutt and Art Mickel are chimney sweepers in Prado — Art, who always wanted to be a preacher! Carl Herkelrath and Frankie Morrell both intended to be hangmen; but the rope was destined for their own necks, and now they rest in peace. (?) The independent Lois Adams is now industriously wheeling a baby carriage and is giving instructions to her new chambermaid, Mildred Phillips. There is a little door in a little office in Honolulu; and on this door is printed “Robles and Lytle, Dealers in Grass Skirts”. Bertha Otteni is employed as a model. Three persons in the class of ’30 were exceptionally lucky. Charlotte Fraser, Art Thorpe, and Leonard Pate are catching bumble bees in Africa and selling the furs at a great profit. Tovel Slaten is playing the violin in the Great Norco Orchestra, and Helen Ply- mate is his very famous accompanist. Dick Zilioli is in West Point. He has high hopes of winning the next Avar single- handed. Dick always wanted to be an undertaker. Perhaps some sweet day his hopes will be fulfilled. Marion Hay and Lawrence Brown waged a bitter political battle over the presi- dency of France; but women always have their way. Lawrence is back at his home in the mountains, operating a still. Lucille Bond has just obtained a divorce from her fifth husband, Harold Busier. Husbands are a habit with Lucy. Jack Cunningham and Lawrence Hanna are striving to obtain a place for the United States in the World Court. Perhaps where others have not succeeded, they may succeed. Robert Ewing and Mary Brusso decided to go to China to help the poor little Chinese children; but since their departure, no word has been heard from them. Joe Hatton is still working at the shoe store. Not much chance for advancement, but you can’t depend on rumor! Elizabeth Campbell, Mary Clark, Nedine Fletcher, and Esther Rehmke are all in the United States Legislature. They are trying to pass a law to remove men from Congress and deny them the right to vote. Margaret Welch and Ruby Tomer are matrons in a home for orphans — Pity the orphans! Grace Hemma and Ruth Turner have joined the circus as fat ladies. Pearl Lewis and Margaret Baker have joined Ziegfield’s Chorus. How they make the masculine hearts flutter! sixteen Jose Yepez has become President of Mexico! (Remember the Civics reception?) Ernest Harper and Charles Iselin have good positions in a Los Angeles depart- ment store, picking fleas off the Teddy Bears. Dale McCue is teaching a class in “The Art of Making Love”. Leslie Harper has a job entertaining the fishes. His favorite selection is “A Life on the Ocean Wave”. On a certain street in Norco there is a store with a sign which reads “Clifford Stark Company, Junk Dealers”, Edythe Walker is employed as secretary. Glen James is an office boy for the Los Angeles Times. Poor Glen always hoped to be an editor at least. Lila Roe, Lucille Powers, and Otis Ruth are in China nursing the ferocious inva- lid, Ching-Won-Chu. The brave girls! Thelma Thatcher is secretary to Violet Page, world’s amatuer typing champion. Virginia Paxton is on the Girls’ All-American Baseball Team. Practice makes perfect. Hazel Lillibridge is cook for the President of the United States. Hazel has pro- gressed rapidly. Since Marion has become President of France, poor Marie Hay is very sad. She is trying to drown her sorrow by entering into the wild, bad life of gay Paree! Mr. Hancock is still doing very nicely, thank you, under the able management of his charming wife. Betty Webster is telling Bug-house Fables during the children’s hour over station bunk Last but very far from least, Miss Stewart was found still classifying “bugs”, this time of the variety known as “genus homo”, located in various state institutions, her favorite studies and specimens being found at Patton. A VALEDICTORY ADDRESS “Honorable Faculty, Most Worthy Students, and Friends: “On this, my last occasion to be with you, I should like to say a few words to prove that my stay in your midst has not been in vain, and also to give you a most important message. “In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial senti- mentalities, beware of platudinous ponderosity, eschew all conglomerations of flatu- lent garrulity, suggestive or apparent. “In other words, speak plainly, clearly, and briefly. Don’t put on airs. Say what you mean and mean what you say; and don’t use big words. Mary Bender seventeen JUNIOR CLASS A S freshmen, members of the class of 1931 participated in very few activities. We had representatives on the lightweight and pee-wee squads in basketball and football, however; and our debating team won the interclass championship. As sophomores, we placed more men on the teams. A large part of the chorus of the operetta, “1 he Belle of Barcelona”, were sophomores. Carol Cunningham and Wilson Briggs had minor leads. Now, we of the class of 1931 are juniors. We started at the first of the year to surpass the records that we made as sophomores and freshmen. Our rally stunt was marionette show featuring “The Three Bears”. Then came football. Wilson Briggs, Herbert Srmth, Bob Simpson, Weldon McPherson, and Wilfred Guffy all made the heavy-weight team. Basketball found many of the boys on all three teams. In track, Monte Nutter and Robert Shank had the privilege of representing our school at the Southern California track-meet. Phyllis Hil! was girls’ tennis captain. Helen Knoll managed debating; and she and Vivian Peeler, Harriette Hall, and Pierce Harwell were on the school debating team. Harriette Hall and Monte Nutter are the school yell-leaders. Jeanette Toolen, Carol Cunningham, and Wilson Broggs have leads in the school operetta, “The Lady of the Terrace”. Marjorie Carlson, Vivian Peeler, and Pierce Harwell have made quite a name for themselves starring in dramatic class productions. Three of our class, Marjorie Carlson, Phyllis Hill, and Carol Cunning- ham, are Girls’ League officers. This year’s class officers are— President : Orville Veach Vice Pres.: John Brownell Secretary: Carol Cunningham Treasurers Roberta Ely — Mildred Brockman eighteen SOPHOMORE CLASS O UR class of 1932 is going forward in its sophomore year with the same interest and class spirit shown when we were freshmen. Jack Woodward and John Buzan upheld the honor of the class on the football team. Corinne Masterson won the Thome Trophy in the girls’ tennis tournament. Our sophomore rally stunt consisted of two numbers: a short play entitled “Sofapillio”, a take-off on the very tragic type of play in which every one dies, and a pirate farce given by a group of boys. Both of these proved very clever and were exceedingly well done. Patricia Mahoney, Donald Smith, and Harry Whitcomb won the interclass debate championship and the Metropolitan Life Insurance trophy. Our officers are Persident: Jack Woodward Vice-President: Berlyn Brockman Secretary — Jewel Boyd Treasurer: Walter Blair. — Madeline Clark nineteen FRESHMEN N September 10, 1929, quite a large group of know-nothings scrambled around in the halls of Corona High. Most of them got safely into their first period classes, but the other seven were visited in rather a daze of confusion. This conversa- tion took place between more than one pair of freshmen that day: First Frosh — “That was the second wrong class that I’ve been in to-day.” Second Frosh — “Consider yourself lucky. That was my fourth.” The freshmen finally became settled, only to have Freshman Initiation upset them again. But it’s all in a lifetime, and the fresh men soon became very grown up. The class officers are as follows: President — Paul Wilson Vice-President — Joseph Landon Secretary — Cloyce Overholt Treasurer — Juanita Shadle. — Emogene Morrow twenty THE CORONAL Helen Plymate Editor-in-Chief Marie Hay Snapshot Editor Marion Hay Art Editor Allan Haines Business Manager Miss Truesdell Art Advisor Ernest Harper Boy’s Sport Editor John Brownell Assistant Advertis- ing Manager Violet Page Typist Miss Mitchell Faculty Advisor Thelma Thatcher Literary Editor Melvin Clark Advertising Manager Pearl Lewis Activities Editor Helen Henneuse Associate Editor Alma Conlee Girls’ Sport Editor Mildred Phillips Jo e Editor Albert McCurdy Assistant Business Manager twenty-one THE STUDENT BODY President — Helen Plymate Vice-President — Lois Adams Secretary — Allan Haines Treasurer — Jack Cunningham ' I ' HE Student Body, largest of all school organizations, represents every class and A supervises most school activities. To stimulate enthusiasm for the opening of the football season, the entire student body joins in observing Rally Night, each class contributing a stunt. After the pro- gram, the crowd adjourns to rally around a huge bonfire, join in school songs and yells, and devour substantial “eats”. This year’s Rally was doubly exciting because, despite careful guarding, the bonfire was twice prematurely lighted. Thursday of every second week, Student Body assemblies were held. School songs, yells, important announcements, programs, newsreels, educational films, and interesting speakers were enjoyed. Exciting indeed was Freshman Initiation Week, when drastic rules governed frosh conduct. Those who dared to disobey were tried before the official tribunal. Lemonville was successfully combined with the operetta. Among the many speakers who honored Corona High was Mr. Reverdy Harris, whose illustrated talk on Alaska stimulated interest in that too-little-known territory. The University of Redlands Girls’ Glee Club and the Aeolian Quartette of La Verne College delighted the students with programs of music and readings. The efficiency and energy of the Student Body officers certainly have made this year an outstanding one in the school’s history. — Margaret Welch twenty-two THE SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS Marie Hay President Tyler Thompson ....

Helen Plymate Advisor — Miss Katherine Stewart embership in the Scholarship Society is indeed a coveted honor, for this or- ganization maintains the highest of standards both in scholarship and in outside activities. When one is a member of the Scholarship Society for two semesters, he is given a pin which he may keep as long as he is in the society. Each year, California Scholarship Federation pins are awarded to those who have belonged to the society for at least six semesters, one of them in the senior year. This is a big honor, and very few receive these pins. Those earning pins this year are Helen Plymate, Pearl Lewis, and Jose Yepez. Many privileges not accorded other students of the school are awarded the members of this group. The society holds one picnic or party each semester, and at the end of the year all those who have belonged for either semester join in one big celebration. The party held during the first semester of this year at the home of Miss Katherine Stewart and the Japanese Doll Show viewed at the Rubidoux Mission Inn are pleasant memories to those privileged to attend. Ruby Lewis twenty-three KO-HI-NUR r T ' HE Ko-Hi-Nur, under the capable direction of Miss Waller, has made rapid progress. Editor-in-chief Ruth Turner, in co-operation with Mr. Butcher and the printing classes, has done splendid work and deserves a great deal of credit for working so faithfully and making the publication a success. Thanks to the diligent efforts of our Exchange Editor, Margaret Welch, our exchanges have increased in number from ten to sixty, coming from schools as far away as Alaska and Hawaii. The source of income being larger than in previous years, the staff of the Ko-Hi- Nur has enlarged the paper, which was formerly four pages in length, to six pages. They have also made a change in the joke page, calling it APPLESAUCE instead of CRABAPPLE. The members of the staff are chosen from the journalism class, all of whom were rather inexperienced in the editing of a paper. In November, Miss Waller and Ruth Turner attended a Press Convention in Long Beach, where they spent an enjoyable as well as educational day. The staff of the Ko-Hi-Nur is as follows: Editor — Ruth Turner Boys ' Sport Editor — Ernest Harper News Editors — Lucille Bond Lucille Powers Exchange Editor — Margaret Welch Business Manager — Jose Yepez ]o!(e Editor — Vivian Peeler Advertising Manager — Orville Veach Reporters — Charles Iselin Monte Nutter Mildred Brockman Alma Conlee Faculty Advisor — Alice Waller Printing Instructor — Mr. Butcher — Lucille Powers twenty-four FIRST SEMESTER Donald Carruth Irma Lytle Pearl Lewis Tyler Thompson COMMERCIAL CLUB OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER . .

Tyler Thompson T he newly organized Commercial Club, sponsored by Miss Wright and Miss Neel, has proved very helpful to the commercial students this year. Carrying out its motto, “to promote self-government and a better understanding between faculty and students”, the club introduced into the Corona high school something new and different — student self-government. The meetings of the club are held weekly. Many interesting speakers have addressed the club; and very frequently the group has held open meetings, at which time the entire student body were guests. One of the most interesting features sponsored by the club was the open discussion of business etiquette, which was taken up in several of the meetings. The Commercial Club has certainly made splendid progress this year, and the commercial students fully appreciate what has been done for them. HrivAtn P inui ' TH twenty-five S. P. Q. R. Consuls Dorothy Moore Marvin Johnson Censors CoRINNE MaSTERSON Robert Snedecor Tribune Elise Dean Praetor Tyler Thompson Advisor: Mrs. Hyatt Hr HE “ S - P - Q-”� being interpreted, is ‘ ' Senatus Populusque Romanus”, the name used by the Latin (dub. This title was taken from the inscription found on the official shield carried by representatives of the ancient Roman Empire. Any student taking Latin has the privilege of becoming a member of this interesting organization, which holds monthly meetings. Business and entertainment — such as plays, guessing games, and crossword puzzles — hold the interest of the members throughout the time of meeting. So proficient in the use of the Roman language have certain mem- ber become that, during the sessions of our famous “Model School”, they were able to conduct their classes entirely in Latin, with students acting as teachers. The duties of the various officers are definitely prescribed. The Consuls preside at alternate meetings. The Censors check attendance and maintain order. The Quaes- tors are secretary and treasurer. The Curule Aediles plan programs and entertain- ment. The Tribune makes posters, and the Praetor awards honors and points. The final meeting of the club, a picnic, held in the local park, proved a fitting climax to a year of profit and enjoyment.

The purpose of the organization is that all its members may become better acquainted with the Spanish language and customs. At each meeting, a program of short Spanish sketches, music or a talk by an outside speaker is featured. Fascinating Spanish games, crossword puzzles, and other diversion furnished by Miss Taylor add to the enjoyment Las Panteras derive from their gatherings. The members are extremely proud of then- insignia, an enameled bronze pin in shield shape, bearing the arms of Spain. To this is attached a guard in the form of a large “C’ “Las Panteras,” be it understood, is Spanish for “The Panthers.” The officers who work so industriously for the benefit of the c ' .ub are these: President — Harriette Hall Vice- Pres — Tovel Slaten Secretary — Alice Currier Treasurer — Wilson Briggs Advisor — Miss Taylor Leora Slaten Irene Patchin twenty-seven DEBATING Harry Johnson Vivian Peeler Carol Cunningham Harriette Hall Helen Knoll (Manager) Patricia Mahoney Pierce Harwell Harry Whitcomb, Jr. Mr. Goodwill, Coach Debating activities in Corona High are listed in two categories: interclass and league. Interest in the two has increased steadily throughout the past three years, and competition is hot and exciting. Class teams, competing for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company trophy, debated on the question: “Resolved, that the contributions of Edward Livingston Tradeau toward the happiness, health, and well-being of mankind are superior to those of John D. Rockefeller.” Freshmen and seniors were eliminated in preliminary meets, leaving the judges to decide between sophomores and juniors. Final decision went to the sophomores, last year’s champions, who upheld the affirmative. For financial reasons, the League officials this year experimented with the “no- decision plan, doing away with judges and leaving the outcome of the argument to be settled in the minds of the audience. Corona met San Bernardino and Colton while this arrangement was being tried; but before the second debate, the system was abandoned as unsatisfactory. This second and last League debate of the year, on the question “Resolved, that the United States should adopt the thirteen-month calendar,” was lost; the negative to Colton by a split decision the affirmative to San Bernardino by a three-to-nothing vote. Inasmuch as this year s team is composed entirely of lower-classmen, next year should see a seasoned squad giving stiff competition to debators from the larger schools. In fact, we’re counting on them to “bring home the bacon.” Violet Page Thelma Thatcher twenty-eight G. A. A. President — Ruth Turner Vice-President — Virginia Paxton Secretary-T reasurer — Marion Hay I HIS year the G. A. A., under the able direction of Miss Horst and Miss Taylor, the new tennis coach, has shown up very well. The purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to promote better health, sports- manship, and co-operation among the girls of our school. The February playday of the Tri-County League was held at Corona, with Bar- stow and Victorville, two new schools, competing for the first time. Corona won the cup, having twenty-five points, Bonita running a close second with twenty-two-and- one-half points. A second playday was held at Chino in May. Each year a sweater is given to each girl receiving one thousand points. This year, sweaters were awarded to Vivian Peeler, Helen Walker, Helen Plymate, Helen Henneuse, Evelyn Roberds, and Harriette Hall. Phyllis Hill and Ruth Turner have already received sweaters. When a girl receives three-hundred and fifty points, she is awarded a letter; and for every additional three-hundred and fifty points she receives a star. To the win- ning class teams are awarded numerals, given out in Student Body assemblies. At the end of each year a G. A. A. banquet is held. Here sweaters are awarded and the new officers are installed. Th G. A. A. succeeded this year in passing a set of rules prescribed by the execu- tives of the organization. These rules raise the number of points required for a letter, and prohibit the awarding of articles of intrinsic value. Since these changes meet requirements for admission into the Southern California Federation of G.A.A.’s, we hope soon to become an accredited member of that organizati on. — Ruth Turner twenty-nine THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE M ADE up of all the girls of the school, the Girls’ League is really a wonderful help because it gives its members opportunity to work and play together and enables them to become better acquainted. General meetings are held every other Wednes- day. Programs, business, or general round-table discussions occupy the time. League Council meetings are held on the alternate Wednesdays. This year’s G ris’ League Convention was held at Phoenix. Our delegates, Lois Adams and Marjorie Carlson, considered themselves fortunate to be able to attend this gathering of girls from the great Southwest. Hi-Jinx, an annual entertainment put on entirely by the League, was presented on the evening of October 15, 1929. The program was indeed very entertaining; most fascinating of all was our dainty queen, Lois Janet Adams, with her train of followers. The major part of the funds received was used in charity work. At Christ- mas, baskets containing foods and toys were given to the less fortunate people of the community. During the spring season, the League entertained twice: once with a formal tea ' or the mothers of its members, and once for the eighth grade girls from the Junior High. The years officers were President: Lois Adams Vice-Pres: Marjorie Carlson Treasurer: Phyllis Hill Secretary: Carol Cunningham Advisor: Miss Horst — Bertha Otteni thirty STUDENT BODY MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS The Student Body has drafted throughout the year the services of four musi- cal organizations: girls’ quintet, senior boys’ quartet, sophomore boys’ quartet, and orchestra. The vocal groups are coached by Miss Mary Brown and Mr. Vaile; the orchestra is led by Mr. Franklin. The quintet is composed of seniors and juniors; Mildred Phillips, Elizabeth Campbell, Jeanette Toolen Carol Cunningham, and Eloise Gist. “The Roamers,” senior quartet, who first gained prominence by their singing at the Corona’s Theatre’s New Year’s Frolic, include Tovel Slaten, Jack Hallgren, Chester Lytle, and Jack Cunningham. Messers. Tyler Thompson, Albert McCurdy, Beryln Brock- man, and Marvin Johnson compose the sophomore quartet, which gives promise of increasing excellence of work. These groups have sung for the churches and the service clubs, and appeared in public rcitals at the high school. The High School Symphony Orchestra, with a personnel numbering twenty- eight, has studied both classical and popular music. Its playing at various school functions and throughout the public recital presented at the Corona Theatre has won much favorable comment from townspeople and critics, and Mr. Franklin is to be congratulated on the results of his training. Tom Slaten HI-Y T HE Corona Hi-Y is a club organized for the purpose of “creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character”. We have a motto to which all of our Hi-Y boys try to live up: “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship”. Special days have been set aside in the school to emphasize this motto; one is called ‘’Clean Living and Clean Speech Day”, and another is called “Clean Sports and Clean Scholarship Day”. This year the club as a whole has probably made more progress than ever before, although the club has proved very successful and helpful in the past. Most of the credit for this year’s advancement is due to Robert Shank, who has certainly set the club on the right track. Meetings are held every two weeks. During the meetings, problems that the boys meet in every day life are discussed. These discussions are lead by the pastors, faculty members, or business men of Corona. The meetings prove a great help to the schoolboy and fit him to overcome obstacles encountered ifi later years. The Hi-Y has had several special meetings, Mothers’ Night and Fathers’ Night being the most outstanding. These officers have co-operated in helping put the Hi-Y over this year: President — Robert Shank Vice-President — Herbert Smith Secretary and Treasurer — Wilson Briggs Advisor — Mr. Wight — Wilson Briggs thirty-two SENIOR PLAY T T WAS March 28. The auditorium of Corona High was crowded with parents and friends. The usherettes in white skirts and sweaters were hurrying back and forth. At last, in a hushed silence, the curtain was drawn; “The Arrival of Kitty” had begum_ Before our eyes was the office of a hotel in a secluded mountain resort. Ting, a bell-boy in uniform (Jack Cunningham), slept soundly while Sam, a big colored porter in swallow-tail coat and fancy vest, tried to awaken him. At last Sam (Dale McCue) succeeded, and then the fun began. Over two hours of fun, jealousy, conspiracy, and happiness followed. Aunt Jane (Betty Webster) furnished her part, for Aunt Jane was really proud of herself. She was sure she still had many suitors, but craved a husband. Benjamin Moore (Leonard Pate), as Jane’s official but unappreciated fiance, was unforgettable. Jane (Lois Adams), the charming ingenue, fell quite hard for Bobbie Baxter (Algy Unruh), a very high-minded suitor and as clever a masquerader as any audience could desire. William Winkler, a sly gentleman with a fondness for money, was played exceed- ingly well by Chester Lytle. A merry, fast-moving comedy of irrepressible youth, the play was full of pep and laughter, especially when Kitty, a pert and flirtatious actress, came upon the scene. Thelma Thatcher was indeed the ideal Kitty. Aunt Jane’s pretty French maid (Virginia Paxton) supplied smelling salts and carried notes with perfect sangfroid. Too soon the performance was over, one of the best senior plays given in Corona High School. To Miss Waller is due much of the undoubted success of “The Arrival of Kitty.” thirty-three LEMONVILLE From time immemorial, Lemonville has been a gala event for alumni and friends of Corona High. Orginally a burlesque on school life, it has progressed through various stages of development, the present Executive Board of the Student Body having decreed that henceforth it shall take the form of an operetta. “The Lady of the Terrace ” the 1930 Lemonville, presented on the evening of May 16, was a typically Irish operetta. Sir Gerald Craughmont (Tyler Thompson) found that his decently inherited family estate was badly run down and heavily mortgaged to his uncle, Squire Michael (Pierce Harwell), who was planning to foreclose and gain title to the property. For financial reasons, Gerald rented the castle for the summer to Mr John Chandler (Wilson Briggs), a wealthy American. Mr. Chandler’s daughter Clara (Elizabeth Campbell) was fascinated by an old Irish legend related by Gerald. One night, now deeply in love with the story — and, inci- dentally, with Gerald — Clara donned the gown of the Lady of the Terrace and found that spectre’s pendant, missing for some hundred years. Her task thus ended, the Lady of the Terrace (Mildred Phillips) was heard singing, as she disappeared forever. Keen comedy was furnished by two Irish servants, Dennis (Jack Cunningham) and Molly (Patricia Creech), and by Clarence (Joseph Landon), an Englishman who takes very seriously himself and his infatuation for Gerald’s sister, Peggy (Jeanette Toolen). Carol Cunningham as Gerald’s aunt, Lady Eileen Stanford, completed an excellent cast. The audience gave every indication of having been completely carried along on the rapid tide of comedy and melodrama which swept “’The Lady of the Terrace” to a successful conclusion. Margaret Welch thirty-four IDYLLIC NIGHT Out on a smooth and blue-green plain Into the shades of night, Shaded by rows of rosebud trees, Lighted by pale moonlight, Danced the Queen of Beauty — Danced the King of Love — Danced till the rays of sunlight Brightened the sky above. Hand in hand they swung their way Over the petaled ground While a mocking-bird was bursting With a waltz of golden sound. They danced and danced, this lovely pair He with his smile, and she with her hair Full of gorgeously tinted leaves Which fell from the limbs of the rosebud trees. And then, as the morning neared the crest And darkness sifted away, This King and Queen mounted thrones unknown To rule for the coming day. Marjorie Hicks A CASE OF LATE SPRING FEVER “And remember, Puggins, that those poor hoses need a little attention in between your games of marbles, skipping rope, and the like! The idea, anyway, of a person your age not being able to grow up is beyond my knowledge.” Finally, angry at having to repeat these instructions, Mr. Willins slammed the kitchen door shut, leaving Puggins to go about his chores in the warm sunshine of a late spring morning. In spite of the fact that he was expecting a sixty-sixth birthday that summer, Puggins had never outgrown his boyish dislike for work or his continual longing to play with the boys of the village. “She’s a good wife, Molly is; she just don’t understand me ” he murmured as he walked slowly towards the barn. “Hi, Puggy!” Puggins peeped in through the barn doorway; and, as his eyes became more accustomed to the shadowy interior, he was able to see the smiling face of his little pal, Tommy Tailor. Tommy, a freckle-faced, happy-go-lucky little ragamuffin disliked by the girls, admired and envied by the boys, and thought of with horror by the teachers, was happily unaware of it all. He knew less than nothing about books but “heaps about fishin’,’’ as he had told Puggins at their first meeting. ' ' Howdy, Tommy,” grinned Puggins, as he walked over to the boy, who was rubbing the back of one of the horses as it stood in a stall, chewing contentedly on some hay. ‘Why, Tom,” exclaimed Puggins when he noticed the hay, “who fed the horses?” “I did,” Tommy answered, “because I’ve got a swell plan for to-day. I want you to go fishin’ with me.” Puggins was delighted with the plan; but remembering his wife, he hid his enthusiasm from the lad, saying “But, Tommy this is a school-day; and so, of course, I couldn’t let — ”. Puggins stopped suddenly; he could not resist the temptation no longer. He saw a cool little stream, called Gladbrook, which murmured its way along the back of his farm. He spied Tommy and himself seated on one of the logs by the stream, inspecting the fat worms as they wiggled at the ends of the two fishing lines, and gazing down at the silver fish gliding along in the water. About fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Willins, looking from the window above her sink, discovered Puggins, a fishing-pole in his hand ( sneaking around behind the barn. His companion was equipped in like manner. Molly Willins smiled as she watched the two culprits give one anxious look towards the house, and then disappear down the little dirt road through the pasture. “So they are going fishing; and Tommy, naughty boy, is playing ‘hooky’ as usual.” The smile spread all over Mrs. Willi n’s face and suddenly broke into a low chuckle; at last the time had arrived to cure Puggins of his foolishness. thirty-six “Why, Molly,” cried Puggins as he scumbled over to his wife, “how did you find out where I was?” Mrs. Willins pretended that she didn’t hear her husband; again thanking Jere- miah for his help, she took Puggins by the arm and led him from the building. “Well, Mr. Williams, how did you enjoy school to-day?” Willins looked curiously at his wife. Suddenly he understood why Jeremiah had acted so strangely. “It was because he wanted that money of Molly’s,” he murmured. “What were you saying, Puggins?” Mrs. Willins demanded. “Oh,” Puggins answered, remembering that he wasn’t alone, “I was just saying that I enjoyed going to school a lot. Yes, I enjoyed it; and I think it’s kinda good for a person to know about books, too. Guess I’ll see to it that Tommy goes regular, after this.” “Now that’ll be fine,” cried Mrs. Willins, believing that her plans had succeeded and Puggins was cured. Then, thinking it wise to appear sympathetic, she said, “You will be quite lonely, though, won’t you, Puggins? For with Tommy in school, you won’t be able to go fishing so often.” “Oh, I’ll get along all right, Molly. I’ll just wait around the school-house until Tommy gets out, and then we’ll go fishin at Gladbrook.” Puggins had a hard time trying to keep his face straight while he watched the growing alarm on his wife’s countenace. Mrs. Willins saw that her day’s labor and high hopes of curing Puggins had been in vain. She murmured in a meek, defeated voice, “Oh, surely! That’s what you can do, and it won’t bother you at all to have Tom attend school.” “Yes,” grinned Puggins; “and, who knows, perhaps they’ll teach him some more about fishin’.” Catherine Ashworth A MUSING ON “HOME” When life is dull and painful too, When you are lonesome and feeling blue — Memories leave you, and you’re alone — Dream of home!

Pierce Harwell ihirty-soven ANECDOTES ANCESTRAL AND OTHERWISE 1. AN ANCIENT ANCESTOR As we sat by the fireside, my father told this story: “Once upon a time there was a wicked pirate who sailed the seas and captured all of the ships carrying gold. On one of his voyages, he sailed up to the coast of California and planted a sign. The sign was destroyed, somehow or other; and he never got the credit for discovering California, because he never told many people about his visit. Later, some other men discovered California for the second time and got all of the credit. But this man did not need to have the credit; he was a haughty pirate and stole the gold from the Spanish and English trading ships. His name was Sir Francis Drake. He was one of your many ancestors — not, to be sure, a good one. A really good one is Napoleon “Bony Parts”, whom we are glad to have. This shows you are part French, and YOU MUST STUDY YOUR FRENCH HARDER. The grade you get in French is not good enough.” Joy Jameson, Jr. 2. HOLY TROUSERS It was one of those wonderful summer nights in dear old Arizona. We had been playing hide and seek; but dusk overtook us, and we sat down upon the porch. Grandpa knew that we wanted a story; so he cleared his throat and began: “Tuesday was my mother’s sewing day; and as a result of her laboring I had a pair of blue-green plaid trousers added to my wardrobe. “Now these trousers had been made over from a pair belonging to my older brother. Feeling a little independent, I didn’t like them at all. I argued and fretted about having to wear them, but finally had to put them on. All day I was the joke of the school, the boys insulting me by calling me ‘mama’s baby’. “I was fed up on these slurs; so, with a friend of mine, I ditched school that afternoon and went to what was then called ‘Baldy’. This was a hill to the south of my home town. Corona, and was all it was said to be — slick as a button. “My friend and I slid down this hill until our trousers were in shreds. After an hour of what seemed fun, I stormed into the house, only to be met — the first thing! — by my mother. She looked disgustedly at my trousers, stalked out to the wood-shed, and returned with a stout switch. You can imagine what followed! I want to assure you that I never wore out any more plaid trousers.” Betty Francisco 3. AN UNEXPECTED BATH One day, a couple of summers ago, when I was standing on a dock watching boats go by, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around. Not a foot away from thirty-eight me was a load of boxes seven feet high and about as broad, piled on a two-wheeled cart similiar to those used at a feed store. The person propelling the vehicle did not know how close to the edge of the dock he was, and so kept on coming. “Good night!” I exclaimed to myself. “Isn’t he going to stop?” Before I could yell a protest, I— along with the load of boxes— was shoved off into the water. A moment later, I crawled up the bank, probably better off for the ducking. Donald Newton 4. A LONG-REMEMBERED PUNISHMENT Lorenzo De Beal, William and Raymond Chambers, and I were hiking home from the scout camp in the hills south of town. As we neared a group of bee-hives, some one suggested that one of us procure some honey for the rest. This task, alas, fell on me! Arraying myself in all the available coats and sweaters until I felt quite safe, I took a knife and succeeded in removing the lid of the hive. But I got no farther; for, according to the other boys, there were from fifty to seventy-five angry bees buzzing around my head. I gathered together my things and set out. I went steadily for half a mile. By that time the bees were gone. I had learned my lesson and received my punishment, for I had been stung seven times. Maurice Robinson 5. AN UNFORTUNATE BAKING DAY Making mud pies was always an engrossing occupation to me as a youngster. But this fascinating pastime led me into one of the worst predicaments of my young life. We were having a new cement floor put in our front porch. The cement was all ready when I arrived on the scene. Nobody being in sight, I started an orgy of pie- making. The box was high and I was small; so I decided to climb in and have things more convenient. This I did, and sat down to continue my work. All went well for a time, but soon I began to feel uncomfortable. “What kind of mud is this?” I wondered. “The mud I have played in before never acted this way.” I leave to your imagination what might have happened had not mother missed me and, fearing I was in mischief, come t o investigate. She found her surmise well- grounded. When next I made my appearance, the mud-pie business was taboo, though I could not understand why. Mary Bender A WATERY ACCIDENT One time when I was at a friend’s down by the Santa Ana River, I met with an accident. These people had a hammock placed dangerously near the edge of the thirty-nine water. However, we children gave the matter little or no thought and gaily started in swinging. When my turn came, I decided to swing higher than the rest had gone. I succeeded in going highest, but I didn’t have enough sense to stop then. I kept on going higher and higher. Oh, what fun until — splash! ! A few seconds later, a wet and bedraggled figure crawled up onto the bank. It was none other than “Yours truly”, who had at last fallen from his lofty but dangerous perch and was sadder ,and wiser for his experience. Terry Ware 7. AN EXPERIENCE WITH A RAM My great-grandfather, a sheep-raiser, once sent to Spain for a ram of a certain rare breed. The ram cost $500., which was at that time a small fortune. This ram was kept in a field which every one was forbidden to enter. One day my grandmother and great-uncle had an errand to do. They had to go around this field. If they could only go through the field! They thought of their father’s rule, but decided to risk his displeasure. They started across the field. When they reached the center, the ram came charg- ing toward them. They ran and were able to keep away from him for some time, but were not able to make any head-way toward the other side of the field. Finally, Grandmother began to tire. Then my great-uncle conceived a brilliant idea. He placed Grandmother behind a tree, and he stood in front of it. The ram charged. Just as the animal reached him, my great-uncle stepped aside. The ram, crashing into the tree, broke his neck. The two children were greatly relieved, but suddenly a wave of horror swept over them. They had entered the forbidden field and caused their father’s prize ram to be killed! A sorrowful-looking couple reached home a little later and told their story. I think it would be best to draw the curtain here. It is not always kind to pry too deeply into details. Frances Henneuse 8. HANDLING A KNIFE When my great-grandmother was a young woman and was living in a large log cabin, my great-grandfather had to go away on business. They lived in Tennessee and owned a great many slaves. With the slaves around the house, she did not feel afraid. Nevertheless, that night, when she went to bed, she put the money and other valuables under her pillow. She also laid a gun and knife on a table beside her. The cracks between the logs of the house were very wide, but had been stopped up. That night she heard a little scratching noise very near her pillow, as if some one were digging at the wall outside. She lay there listening. Pretty soon the sound forty stopped but she felt the cold air coming in by her head. Everything was quiet, and she was just about ready to get up and see what the matter was when she felt a hand under her pillow. She siezed the knife, jerked the pillow up, and stuck the knife into the hand just as it was taking the money. The hand jerked back through the wall, and she heard a low moan and a rush of footsteps. In the morning she found blood under her pillow and on the ground outside. The money and vaualbles were safe, but the maruader was gone. Eileen Gregory (Just to show that Corona High claims no monoply on literary merit, we in- clude this gem from Henry David Thoreau.) “Aim above morality. Be not simpy good; be good for something.” THE CORNERSTONE OF LIFE Have you ever stopped to think that we all have a cornerstone or foundation in life, whether it be good or evil, harmful or helpful ? There come moments in all our lives when something happens to change or influence our entire existence. Some- times it is for the worst; other times it is for the best. The cornerstone is built up within ourselves from ambition and courage, faith and hope, purity and trust. Sometimes it is made of folly and conceit, jealousy and hate. Out in the open, where human life is pure and simple, where man s problems are easy to solve, where all true genius is born, lived Michael the shepherd. He was stout of heart and strong of limb, and lived a life as humble and beautiful as the Hillsides of all Greenhead Ghyll. How often he had climbed the steep mountain- side, following his sheep! He knew all the hardships and sorrows that sneak into one’s life. Yet he was happy; for he loved all that he had: his son, his home, and his sheep. He was a man whose life, simple as it seemed, was truly successful. Then the time came when he must part with his only son, a boy whose well- being meant all the world to him. 1 hey stood by the pile of stones. ‘This was work for us both”, Michael said. “But now, son, it is work for me. Lay one stone with thine own hands. Should evil men be thy companions in years to come, think of me and this moment.” Then the boy went out into the world. That was his cornerstone. Would he be influenced by the ways of the world, infamous deeds, crimes of those who were too much involved with the world? Or would he keep the tradition of goodness symbolized by that one little stone back at Greenhead Ghyll? Otis Ruth forty -one KING RED XT ING Red was a roan stallion, the leader of a large band of wild horses in Arizona. He was known all over the coast for his wildness and beauty. Young as he was, he was experienced; he knew the trickery of men and was always distrustful of them.’ He was coveted by many men noted for their prowess in catching wild horses; but this was one horse who, chased with the utmost skill, was free, wild and untamed All over the wilderness, aptly named “Prairie of Dread”, he had led his small band. One time he was found seven hundred miles from his usual feeding-ground. On an unusually warm day in the middle of August, King Red led his band to a watering-hole that he had visited only once or twice. He stood on a jutting crag overlooking the green-bordered water-hole. His satiny red skin caught every ray of the noon-day sun. He was sniffing the warm air while the breeze blew his tangled mane around his head. Contemplating the watering of his herd, he caught a whiff of another odor, not that of his band. He caught his second and third whiff, and finally the fourth. He waited no longer. Putting his graceful limbs into action, he trotted away in the direction from which came the annoying smell. King Red had learned to be suspicious of everything unfamiliar. Though horses were plentiful in this region and though the strange odor might be only that of another horse, it would be well for him to investigate. He trotted on for about a mile; then he heard a far-off challenge — the challenge that one horse sends to another. He traveled on. Another mile, and he stopped. He had changed his trot to a canter and had arrived at the scene of action at a swift gallop. This is what he saw: Two stallions, one a black, the other a chestnut, were engaged in a death struggle. Near by, on a small stretch of green, was grazing the object of their combat, placidly nibbling the grass, taking mincing little bites and evidently caring little for the out- come of the battle being waged over her. It was a sorrel mare with a flaxen mane and tail. Glancing coyly up at the approaching stranger, she dropped her head and continued eating. King Red hastily decided he would not take immediate part in the activity. As he waited, he saw the black rear his hoofs into striking position, then descend like a two-thousand pound avalanche of bone and muscle, ugly teeth bared. The chestnut rolled over with broken neck and legs, his skull crushed in, and thrashed about for a few moments in his death-throes. As the black turned, he saw Red and made a rush for him. King Red had intended to go back to his band, but at sight of the charging black he changed his mind and turned to meet the attack. King, who was not in the habit of fighting unevenly, saw in what poor fighting condition the black was, his hoofs covered with the chestnut’s blood, his teeth red, and his jaws dripping foam. forty-two But the horse meant business; and as the black came nearer, King lowered his head and crouched. Sure of the black’s antics, he leaped as his enemy struck where once Red had been. With mouth opened. Red let forth a death call; and soon he and the black were whirling around, blood spatting everything within ten feet of the combat. The black, already half dead, was soon done for. His bloodshot eyes turned hopelessly to the mare, who had stopped eating, and returned to King, who gazed down curiously. Those bloodshot eyes expressed hatred so strong that the head quivered. He died with his eyes turned again toward the mare. For the first time now, the mare showed interest. She walked a few feet toward Red, then began to paw the ground, shaking her head invitingly. The sun was setting now; a cool fresh breeze blew from the west. The clouds were tinted with rose, and the mountains were purple. The wilderness was no longer the piteless desert-plain it had seemed during the day. The hills were turning laven- der, and the glowing sky seemed aflame. Two shadows, one fiery like the setting sun, the other darker with a hazy-colored mane and tail, ambled along into the distance. The band wondered what kept their leader. He did not usually remain away so long. Finally, off on the hills, they saw the two shadowy specks. The specks grew larger. The band, seeing that second spot, rejoiced. Their leader had chosen a mate. Naomie Burtchaell AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN T his old-fashioned garden is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. In it is a quaint little cottage, set for from the road. It is obscured from the unobserving passer-by by a hedge of dark green. As one opens the entrance gate, he sees a very beautiful picture. Garden and cottage harmonize perfectly. The cottage is a deep cream color. Its windows, deeply curtained, add much to the pleasant scene. The chimney-tops are soot-covered and dilapidated. Wine-colored grapes grow abun- dantly on a trellis over the south side of the cottage. The garden itself is paradise supreme! The flowers planted in seemingly careless fashion about the cottage are exquisite splashes of color. 1 here are nu- merous shades of pink, blue, lavender, and yellow. Stock, hollyhocks, larkspur, goldenrod, petunias, and marigolds share equally in the mass of beauty. The birds seem to enjoy twittering and flying among them. A dainty cobblestone path winds in and out among the flowers, each stone a step which furthers the joy of all who use the path. But the loveliest attraction of all is the little gray-haired lady who sits in the porch swing and talks sweetly and pleasantly to all who visit her. Helen Plymate forty-three THE DESERT A LANGUAGE You have read about the desert as a windswept and ghastly plain, a burial-place for those who went there to die. Again, you have probably seen the desert from a Pullman car — a bleak, hot, and sultry place. Bunt you haven’t understood it. At T rst glance, it may look terrible and uninviting; but you haven’t given it a chance to teach you. If you had, you would love it. 1 o me, the desert is a symbol of beauty, love, and understanding. It will keep any secrets you tell it. If you have given the desert its chance to teach you, you will understand the grip that it gets on you. You may leave; but always that wild lure will call you back, be- cause there is beauty in the desert. In the spring, the sand is covered with flowers of various hues. The sky is always blue above, and in the distance the mountains take on a robe of ermine. There is nothing to keep you from looking for miles and miles. There is a prophecy in the desert, and only those who understand can share its materialization. The desert stands there waiting, day in and day out, for that water to quench its thirst and the trees to blossom forth with fruits and verdure. But until that time comes, it must lie there idle. I repeat: Do you understand the desert? If so, accept its challenge.

Mary Bender QUITE A MISTAKE “Isn’t he cute?” “Oh, I think he’s perfectly darling!” “And the way he speaks!” “Probably one of the new boys at school is being discussed,” I thought as I neared the group of girls standing in a circle on the corner. As I came nearer I heard more remarks. “Hasn’t he the most beautiful brown eyes?” “I think that dark curly hair is perfectly stunning.” “And it s so glossy!” I began to think of all the boys I had seen on the campus lately. None of them seemed to fit the description. I walked up to the group for more information. The girls all had their heads together, and I had a hard time getting into the circle. When I did so, however, I laughed heartily. There in the midst of the girls, looking happily around and wag- ging his tail, was a curly-haired little black dog. Frances Henneuse SUSPENSE Joseph Landon As I took my seat in the assembly hall, to watch the prceedure of the Freshman Initation Week court, a vague fear crept over me that I might be one of the victims. My worries were somewhat relieved when I remembered that I had tried my utmost to comply with the regulations. Nearing the close of the meeting, I suddenly heard my name called. I hastily bounded onto the platform and took the oath, wondering of what I was accused. “We accuse you of being class president,” said one of the judges. As if with one voice, the jury roared, “Guilty!” The judges then sentenced me to play a violin solo without a violin and without piano accompaniment. Therefore I whistled a selection entitled “Estrellita”, while I went through the proper motions. I trust this performance was much enjoyed by the juniors and seniors; but I must say that it did not add to my pleasure. As I regained my seat, I heaved a thankful sigh. That was that! forty-iive WINTER A snowstorm came that winter day; It left the earth aglow. The treetops, once a rusty green, Were white with high-piled snow. The houses ’round were all snowbound; The animals, locked up tight The snowbirds from the treetops sang Of snowstorms due that night. The next day dawned so bright and clear Like naught but spring it felt. All day the sun shone down so hot The snow began to melt. What once was snow now slipped and slopped, And dripped and dropped as well. I took a walk; I hipped and hopped, And flipped and flopped and fell. Nina De Beal THE HOLIDAY FAMILY Marjorie Hicks It was on January 1, 1930, in the city of Pasadena, that a family of seven were seen trailing down the sidewalk, one behind the other, toward a small sign which read: Parking — 50 cents an hour. These seven were residents of Long Beach and, like all other jam-loving families, had attended the grand New Year’s parade, the Tournament of Roses. The first in line was Father Jonathan Penrose, who carried in his arms three-year- old Samuel Penrose. After him, of course, came Mrs. Penrose; and then in a string trailed respectively Jonathon Jr., Mary Antoinette, Percival Williams, and Thomas Anthony. In addition to the family there was Bing Flooey, who was to the Penroses a setback, cook, and Chinaman. He now trailed behind, wearing an unintelligent grin, and every once in a while picked up four-year-old Thomas Anthony, who, either for pastime or for effect, insisted on falling flat on his face every few yards. But at last the parking space was reached. Now the Penrose car was a skeptical-looking bus which had been christened with the practical name of Ford. But, danger or no danger, every one scrambled in; and all was ready to go but the car. To put it into plain English, it was stalled. Father Penrose stepped on the starter once, twice, three times, and so on, until the he had pushed it through the floor. His sole remaining resort was the crank. You may draw your conclusions about his disposition. He was fuming, seeth- forty-six ing, boiling, and spouting. The children were howling, and Mrs. Penrose was getting badly ruffled herself. In fact, the only person in the whole party who was entirely serene was Bling Flooey, who sat grinning as usual, with clasped hands, and uttering these soothing words: “Mlister Plenrosa, he clanky his flamly and clanky his car.” CORONA FIVE YEARS HENCE “Let’s stop here at this gas station and find out the name of this beautiful little town. I don’t remember having seen it before. What is the name of this beautiful little city ?” “This is Corona. You are surprised? I do not wonder. Have you been here during the last five years? Well, this is the town that used to be known as the Circle City. It is still called the Circle City, but is now greatly improved in appearance. It is now called the ‘City Beautiful’.” “Why is it called the City Beautiful?” “If you take a drive through our fair city, you will no longer ask why the addition to the name. Look up and down the streets and observe that the parkings, which before were practically all bare (except for a few scrubby trees here and there), are now green with grass. At regular intervals are growing beautiful, symmetrical ever-green trees. Driving through the residential district, one sees on either side soft green lawns, with the shrubbery and flowers artistically arranged to harmonize with the type and color of the dwelling. Occasionally one glimpses a back yard, which strikes him as being the workshop of one who loves the beautiful. Such things as garages, which could not be beautiful otherwise, are covered with clinging vines of various kinds; so too are the weather-stained backs and sides of the business buildings. The vacant lots of the city are clear of debris, and the street-sweeper’s work is light.” “What are the advantages of beautifying your city?” “Oh, there are many. Beautiful surroundings promote peace and harmony among the inhabitants, and a desire to boost any enterprise which is attempted. And, too, our city attracts a great number of tourists, many of whom settle down here to live because they wish to dwell in beautiful surroundings. Our city has grown consider- ably in the last five years because of this improvement. “Five years ago, a few of our prominent citizens started a campaign to beautify our homes by planting more flowers and lawns. The people responded to this plan with an enthusiasm which far surpassed all expectations. Thus we have our beautiful little city.” Eloise Gist (Note: This essay won first prize in the 1930 CORONA BEAUTIFUL contest. Second place went to Ruth Glass; third, to Betty Francisco.) forty-seven A DAY IN THE AIR Under a spreading apple tree The village rascal sat, Eating the remains of an early lunch With the tree trunk at his back. Not far away came the droning lament of the country school. To the boy it was the cry of slaves under the lash of a harsh master. He recalled his previous day’s Sunday school lesson on the Israelites and the Egyptians. “Yes, sir, they’re worse off than those Israelites.” He tried to be sorry for them, but all he could manage was a triumphant chuckle and the last bite of his third apple. He then let his mind wander, and it fell upon the tree under which he was sit- ting. The branches were far from the ground, and this thought went through his mind: “Could I climb that tree if I had to? I’m awful full now.” As he brought his gaze down from its inviting branches, he suddenly realized he could climb anything. Not ten feet away stood the most impertinent steer of the neighboring herds, pawing, snorting, bellowing. Up the tree went our hero. To make a long story short, he sat and sat; and the steer stood, until the evening shadows made it uncomfortable for both. They might both have been still sitting there is a small thing had not occurred. Trotting along from nowhere appeared a little rat-terrier about the size of two fists. The boy in the tree, recognizing him, whistled. “Yip! Yip! Yap!” came the strong reply, with a friendly wag of a three-inch tail. “Sic him! Get him away, Jiggie. Do it quick!” But Jiggie had other ideas. His aspiration was to climb the tree; and judging by his spectacular leaps, one would have thought him capable of doing it. In the meantime, our lordship, Mr. Steer, had come up and was carefully scruti- nizing Jiggie. Aware of the scrutiny, Jiggie snapped; and then things happened. For once in his life, the little dog’s size was a blessing to him. Mr. Steer, during his futile efforts to locate the dog, was being severely gnawed around the ankles. At last the fight was won; the larger animal retired to his quarters, leaving the boy — alias my grandfather — to descend from the tree. Marjorie Hicks forty-eight FOOTBALL U NDER the guidance of Coach Thome, the Panther eleven of ’29 took second place among the Tri-County League schools. The football squad of this year was the most outstanding Corona has produced since 1925. There were no individual stars, but the players fought until the final whistle. With Captain Unruh, Robles, Woodward, and Cunningham in the backfield; Lytle, Eugene Mickel, and Herb Smith playing end; Zilioli and Carton tackles; Slaten, Joe Hatten, and Wilford GufTy guards; and Briggs center— Corona was a big stumbling-block to every team in the league except Colton. Pate, McNutt, Wilcox I selin, Standiford, Buzan, Hallgren, and Simpson were able substitutes. Corona was host to Chino in the first league game. The Panthers scored early in the play and maintained their lead throughout. In the third quarter, Chino managed to score. The game ended 7-6 in our favor. On the following Friday, Corona journeyed to Colton with high hopes of up- setting the Yellowj ackets. However, our hopes soon vanished into thin air, for Colton triumphed 31-0. In the third round, the Panthers nosed out Claremont. Corona’s playing in the first half was ragged; but the fellows finally woke up, and scored twice in the last half, to win 12-6. Bonita, highly touted champions, came to Corona for the last game of the season. Bonita was doped to win in a walk-away; but before the game ended, they woke up to the fact that Corona was no pushover. The Panthers out-thought Bonita through- out most of the game, which finally ended in a scoreless tie. Corona’s prominent showing in football this year was gained only by hard work on the part of the players and good support from the student body. It is to be hoped that these qualities will be found in even greater quantities next year. forty-nine CLASS “C” FOOTBALL lORONA ' S-class fC” football team, coached by Mr. Mahoney did excellent team work; but, forced to play against schools of greater weight, they came out on the little end of the score. . Corona was much better in practice games than in league contests. In meeting such aggregations as Orange’s, Fullerton’s and Brea’s, the Panther midgets played exceptionally well. In their first league game, the flea-weights managed to hold Chino down to twelve, points on the first half; but in the latter part of the game, Chino’s weight began to show and Corona went down to disastrous defeat. The team showed plenty of fight in this game, and every touch-down Chino made was earned. In the second league, game, the midgets went up against Colton and were severely trimmed. Claremont duplicated Colton’s performance in the succeeding game, and the Bonita giants finished the .season with a win over Corona. The members of the team receiving letters were Captain McCurdy, Wilson, Moreno, Sherwood, Don Smith, Brockman, Kuster, Harvey Robinson, Ganahl, Tucker, Blair, Thompson, Chronister, Wallace, and Kendrick. Those fellows in th e line who played the most outstanding game for Corona were Kuster, Brockman, Kendrick, and Nugent. Diminutive Nugent was right there when it came to snag- ging passes and breaking plays. Moreno, Wilson, and McCurdy were the stellar lights in the backfield. Wilspn, who played half-back, was the fastest man on the team; and when he got away, no one could catch him. If these fellows “grow- up ’ during the summer vacation, returning members of this year’s squad will have a hard struggle to keep their old berths. Fortunately, the greater the competition,’ the better the material finally selected; and it is certain that Corona has and will have good material.- So-— “more power to ’em!” fifty BASKETBALL ' N RLS’ basketball season found a large number out from each class. Both seniors and juniors had enthusiastic squads, showing wonderful team work. The fresh- men also had a splendid team, but lost their game to the juniors. In the interclass matches, the juniors and the freshmen played two games to determine which was the better team, the juniors winning by a small score. The juniors then played the seniors. This was the most exciting game of all the series, being played off at night, with both teams determined to win. The seniors started out ahead; but the juniors showed the greater vim and won the championship by a few points. Two school teams were chosen, with Ruth Turner as captain of the “heavies” and Harriette Hall captain of the light-weights. Both teams journeyed to Elsinore for their first practice game. The heavies lost, but the light-weights won with score of 14-6. The heavies next tried their luck against Chino. This time they had better luck and more nearly equal strength, and won with a score of 28 to 27. Next the team played Barstow on the first G. A. A. playday, held February 8, on Corona’s grounds. They rolled up a huge score in Corona’s favor. The following girls made up the basketball team : Forwards: Guards: Hill Turner Morrell Fraser Edythe Walker Rowena Robles Centers: Plymatf Paxton Page Roberds fifty-one BOYS’ BASKETBALL r T HE Panther basketball HEAVIES, coached by Mr. Thome, were less successful this year than in the past, winning only two of their six league games. The members of the team were Robles (captain), Unruh, Smith, Bellringer, Lytle, Hill, Briggs, and McCue. The team was very successful in the practice games, defeat- ing Elsinore, Coachella, and Brea, and almost defeating the powerful Huntington Beach squad. • Algy Unruh was high point man. Results: Colton 17 Corona 11 Chino 19 Corona 7 Barstow 22 Corona 19 Victorville 6 Corona 13 Claremont 17 Corona 28 Bonita 22 Corona 19 The LIGHTWEIGHTS were coached by Mr. Mahoney and captained hv Bob Simpson. Although their excellent playing defeated Coachella,, Brea, and Clare- mont, they failed to live up to their expectations, thanks to the lack of players and of practice. Those on the team were Bob Simpson, John Buzan, Art Thorpe, Law- rence Kendrick, Frank Hauter, George Fink, Frank Ortiz, Leonard Pate, and Tony Bellinis. Results: Colton 27 Corona 8 Chino 13 Corona 9 Barstow 28 Corona 8 Victorville 13 Corona 11 Claremont 6 Corona 11 The CLASS “C” casaba-tossers, coached by Mr. Vaile and captained by Loyd Sherwood, had the school’s best team for this season, winning three games and losing three. Their defense was almost perfect, but their early shooting was little or nothing. They scored only a few points in the majority of their games. Those on the team were Sherwood, Ganahl, Wallace, McCurdy, Black, Wilson, Clark, Serrano, Yokely, and Rossiter. The results of the games were as follows: Colton 11 Corona 7 Chino 20 Corona 5 Bartow 12 Corona 13 Victorville 8 Corona 18 Bonita 9 Corona 7 Claremont 7 Corona 9 Despite their various defeats, every boy on the teams worked and fought for the maintenance of Corona High School’s record of good sportsmanship and high morals. They have proved that Corona possesses still the old fighting spirit. If such a spirit is shown in the succeeding years, Corona cannot fail to “come out on top.” fifty-three HOCKEY r | ‘•HA I hockey was the most successful of all girls’ sports entered this year was ■ ' due to the enthusiasm and interest shown by all of the girls. The interclass hockey games proved exceptionally interesting because of the close competition be- tween the classes. The sophomore and senior classes had very good teams, but the freshmen and the juniors clashed in the final round. They played three games, and tied with a score of 0-0. It ws finally decided to give both teams honors and numerals. To choose the school team was a hard task, because there was so much excellent material from which to pick; but the following group was finally selected: cent.er forward Phyllis Hill; r. inside — Harriette Hall; Ruth Glass; 1. inside — Evalyn Roberts; 1. wing — Vivian Peeler, Violet Page; r. wing — Juanita Shadle; r. half — Elizabeth Campbell (captain); 1. half — Hazel Lillibridge, Audrey Ristine; c. half — Della Dunbar; r. full — Verda Morrell; 1. full — Helen Walker, Rowena Robles: goal guard — Irma Lytle. Corona s team showed to good advantage against the strong Bonita team on G.A. A. playday, winning by a score of 2-0. The girls met those of Sherman Insitutite; but, despite the splendid team-work of both groups, neither was able to score. Our hardest opponent this year was Chino. As usual, each class team met the orresponding one from Chino. Corona was defeated, but hopes to do better next year. VOLLEYBALL Although volleyball is a minor sport, the girls seemed to enjoy it more than ever this year. Under the direction of Miss Horst, class teams were chosen and interclass games played off during noon hours. Competition was keen; rooting was enthusias- tic; high scores were rolled up; and the seniors were declared champions after many a hard round. The sophomores were second, the freshmen third, and the juniors fourth in the final outcome. The school played Colton here on playday, February 8; as competition was not keen, Corona won easily with a large score to our credit. Those girls comprising our school volleyball team are as follows: Marie Hay Edna Mae Thomas Annie Clark Marion Hay Margaret Vaughn Lucille Powers Pearl Lewis Emma Herkelrath - Violet Page fifty-five TRACK ' j ' HE track team of 1930 ended the season with fourth place in the Tri-County track meet. The Panther spikesters twice defeated Elsinore by overwhelming scores, and showed up well against Riverside and San Bernardino. Corona’s strength lay almost entirely in the distance events. In the Tri-County, Captain Nutter and Ernest Harper outsprinted the field, to place first and second in the half mile. Nutter’s time of 2:05 4-5 was a new record. Ed Bellringer surprised every one by placing third in the broad jump, while Frank Hauter and Dick Smith took third and fourth respectively in the mile. Glen Garton tied for fourth in the high jump, raising our total to thirteen and one-half points. Other members of the team who did well in the dual meets were Dick Zilioli, Leonard Pate, Bob Shank, John Krick, Wilson Briggs, and Art Mickel. With one of the strongest Class “C” teams in the history of Corona High, Coach Thome’s midgets journeyed to Colton for the annual Tri-County track meet and were barely nosed out of first place by Colton. Ray Atzet proved to be Corona’s stellar athlete when he took three first places and broke three records in the fifty, the hundred, and the broad jump. Johnny Ganahl also turned in a brilliant score when he ran the half mile in 2:06 4-5, to break the old record by fourteen seconds. Paul Wilson proved his mettle by taking second in the fifty and the broad jump. Forrest Black copped second in the discus, while Nugent and Francisco placed third and fourth in the pole vault. The relay team also broke the Tri-County record, stepping the distance in 48 1-5 seconds. BASEBALL Corona High possessed, this year, an exceptionally well-balanced and talented squad of baseball players. Though, at the time of writing, Corona had won only one game and lost two, the 1930 team was credited as one of the best the school has turned out for a long time. With Captain Weldon McPherson in the box and Felix Robles ready to relieve him, the Panthers had two of the best pitchers in the league. Other members of the team included Chuck Iselin, Algy Unruh, Arno Patten, Bob Simpson, Jack Wood- ward, Carl Herkelrath, Dick Zilioli, Joe Hatton, and Temple Wilcox. The first league game proved to be a wash-out for Corona when the Colton Yellow-jackets trimmed us 17-4. The Panthers played far below their standard in this game, and let Colton step all over them. In the next game, with Chino, Corona lost one of the closest hard-fought matches of the season. Chino triumphed in the end, 9-7. Corona entered the third round a big favorite to win, and they finally broke their jinx and defeated Barstow 13-6. fifty-seven GIRLS’ TRACK B efore the Corona girls’ track team had a chance to show its ability against other schools, the girls made splendid records in the interclass track meet held Wednesday, April 23. The freshmen came forth and showed the school what they could do. They carried off first place, totaling twenty-six and one-half points. The sophomores were second, with twenty-five points; the juniors third with nine points; and the seniors (with four girls reporting) last, with only four-and-one-half points. Finishing the hurdles in 8.5, Corinne Masterson took first place. Lucille Pate took first place in the baskeball goal throw, with thirty throws in one minute. Helen Stewart’s former record of one hundred forty five feet in the basketball throw for distance was broken when she threw it one hundred sixty nine feet, taking first place. The running broad jump was won by Margaret Vaughn, who jumped fourteen feet and one inch. These truly splendid records promised exceeding well for the results to be expected from the first track meet, one event of the last G.A.A. playday, held Sat- urday, May 17. Twenty-five girls, captained by Ruth Turner, represented Corona. GIRLS’ BASEBALL B aseball, the last major sport of the year, interested a large number of girls. Practices were held after school, with Mr. Labrum coaching the school team. The seniors and the freshmen met in the first interclass game of the season. After seven innings of keen playing and good sportsmanship on the part of both teams, the game ended 2-2. The juniors and the sophomores presented teams of lesser strength than usual; but the sophomores did win two games from the juniors, who lost all their games. A second game between seniors and sophomores was played, both teams being determined to win. At the end of the fifth inning, there- fore, the score was 10-10. Two more innings were played, in which the seniors scored four more hits. The seniors were not once defeated. From the class teams was chosen a school team, with Helen Plymate as cap- tain. Those making up the team were Helen Henneuse, Ruth 1 urner, Bertha Otteni, Edythe Walker, Violet Page, Verda Morrell, Helen Stewart, Rowena Robles, Margaret Vaughn, Marjorie Hicks, Dexie Ramey, Lucille Fletcher, Helen Warner, Corinne Masterson, Frances Chambers, and Phyllis Hill. The team was scheduled to play on playday, May 17, and expected to have later games with Riverside and Elsinore. Inasmuch as only five of this year’s team members are seniors and will be lost at commencement, the student body and the G.A.A. should count upon a seasoned team for the coming year. fifty-nine TENNIS great deal of interest and enthusiasm having been shown in tennis this year, both girls and boys have been very successful in all their matches. The large group of girls who reported for practice has improved rapidly under the direction of the new coach, Miss Taylor. She reports after school with the girls, twice a week, and helps them with their strokes. Approximately twenty girls entered the lists for the Novice Tennis Tournament, which was won by Corinne Masterson. Class teams were chosen, and competition in the interclass matches was expected to be extremely keen. The girls tennis team representing the school has played three practice games, two with Riverside and one with San Bernardino. The girls on the team are Corinne Masterson, Helen Plymate, Jeannette Sherman, Phyllis Hill, Evalyn Roberds, ivian Peeler, Alma Conlee, Harriette Hall, Suzanne Gould, and Frances Spencer, I he tennis manager, Evalyn Roberds, and the captain of the girls’ team, Phyllis Hill, expected and received excellent playing from these girls in the various league matches in which they were entered. The boys also have shown great enthusiasm in their games. The twelve boys on the tennis squad upholding the honor of Corona High are Walter Blair, Herman Chronister, Paul Farmer, Jack Hallgren, Charles Key, Lawrence Kendrick, Albert McCurdy, Loyd Sherwood, Herbert Smith, Orville Veach, Jack Cunningham, and Jose epez. The tennis cup for the Novice Tournament was won by Charles Key, after a very hard and earnest effort. The team has played Fullerton, Orange, and Riverside and has not lost a tournament, although they tied with both Fullerton and Riverside. In April, the boys played Chino and won three matches out of five. Since Chino is considered the hardest and fastest team in the league, the boys had every reason to believe they would meet with success in the remainder of the games scheduled for the season. They entered with a firm determination to play so well they would be undisputed champions of the league and could bring home to Corona High School and to Coach Vaile the cup awarded to the winner. sixty DEAR DIARY A Mere Freshie SEPTEMBER ' 9 — Dear Diary, I am going to start to high school tomorrow. But you know I just must have some one to confide in, so I’ve chosen you. 10— Oh, I was so scared. Wit h shaking knees, I entered the hall. They were all there, the mighty seniors, the jolly juniors, the sophomores, and a hundred others like myself — mere freshies, wondering what it was all about. 13 — I have finished my first week of school. It’s not so bad. In fact, Dear Di, I think I shall rather like it, 27 — We had a holiday to-day to see the county fair. Coppy Campbell teased me for riding on the merry-go-round; but I didn t mind, ’cause I saw Jack Cun- ningham on the little train. OCTOBER I- 5 — This is what the upperclassmen call Freshman Initiation Week. I feel just like a scared dog with its tail between its legs, looking for the first place to hide. Just about the time I think I’m in seclusion, Monte or Harriette makes me carry a stack of books downstairs. Dear Diary, I wouldn’t confess it to any one else in the world except you; but the life of a freshman isn’t so wonderful as I thought it would be. II — Gee, I had a lot of fun to-night! I went to the Rally. All the classes had keen stunts. You should have seen Melvin Clark, alias Baby Bear! It was too funny! Then we had the biggest bonfire and the best chicken sandwiches! 18 — Our Panthers played Chino in football this afternoon. What a game! We won, 6-7. (I wouldn’t have known what it was all about, but Mr. Hancock explained the game to us beforehand.) 23— Saw strange sights to-day. I thought all Hickville had suddenly migrated to Corona High, but the juniors and sophomores seemed to think that it was only Senior Rube Day. 29— The wind blew awfully hard to-day. It just about blew Albert and his little Ford away. 30 — More wind. NOVEMBER 1 — Played football with Colton. Sad but true — we lost. 8 — We won the game at Claremont to-day. Jack Cunningham sure is some foot- ball player! 13 Quarterly exams begin to-day. They are the biggest nuisance. 15—1 saw the last league football game to-day. It was so exciting that I yelled sixty- two myself hoarse. I he score, Bonita 0 — Corona 0, gave us. a second place in the league. Went to Ciirls League Hi-Jinx to-night. Phyllis and Ruth made handsome men, and Lois was the darlingest Queen. DECEMBER 6 — Seniors much in evidence to-day, with their new white sweaters. 13— Friday the thirteenth, but it’s my lucky day. No more school for two weeks. 29 Back to the old grind again. Seems hard to settle down after such a glorious vacation. Everybody is telling everybody else what Santa brought him. , • , JANUARY • „ . 2 — Every one working unusually hard and being exceptionally good. I guess it’s on account of New Year’s resolutions, but it won’t last long. 5 — The first rain of the season. 6 — It rained again to-dav. 7 — More rain. 9 The juniors seemed to be holding their hands in conspicuous places to-day. Upon investigating, I found that their class rings had just arrived, and they were anxious to show them off. 22— Junior-freshman championship hockey game. The score was 0-0. At least we showed those juniors that they couldn’t beat us. 24— Our team went to Barstow to play basketball. But I guess the cold weather didn’t agree with the fellows. We won the midget game, but lost the other two. FEBRUARY 8 — Girls’ Tri-County League playday was held here to-day. Don’t say the girls never do anything — we won the cup. 10— The sophs won the interclass debate with the juniors, with a 2 to 1 decision. 11 — All the Spanish students were dismissed this afternoon to see the Mission Play. 12 — We had a short assembly in honor of Lincoln’s birthday, this morning.

Noticed Monte giving Nedine a big lacy heart. 18— Second junior-frosh hockey game and another score of 0 to 0. 19 — The .seniors were conspicuous by their absence to-day. It is rumored that they “ditched’ to go to the Valley of the Falls. 21 — Basketball heavies went to Blythe— lost 13-12. MARCH • - - ' l - 4 — The members of the Scholarship Society attended a doll show at the Mission Inn to-day. I was surprised at the interest some of those grown-up sen ' ors took in dolls. sixty-three 7 — Dramatics class presented “Sauce for the Goslings” in assembly. Have you noticed that Marjorie and Pierce have cut out slang? 24 — Hot to-day. Every one has the spring fever. 25 — Many signs up, saying “ ' Watch for ‘The Arrival of Kitty’.” It seems that is the name of the senior play. 28 — Kitty arrived to-night. The auditorium was packed, and no one went away disappointed. APRIL 4 — Vacation — Ah, now to rest my brains after these exams! 4 — Back to school and ready for the last lap of the year. 24 — This is terrible! We had to go to school to-night. (As if going to school in the daytime weren’t enough!) Still, it wasn’t so bad in some ways. We could talk, be late, or even ditch entirely without getting a detention. 26 — Our baseball team played Barstow to-day. Surely was a splendid game. We won, 13-9. MAY 9 — Junior-senior banquet to-night. Of course, being a freshman, I didn’t go. But I guess it was a pretty grand affair. All the juniors and seniors seemed excited about it. 13 — Baseball with Victorville here. 24 — The sophomores all returned home tired and sunburned but happy to-night after their delightful day’s outing at Balboa Beach. 31 — Holiday. JUNE 8 — Baccalaureate sermon to-night at the Congregational Church. 9 — To-night was senior Class Night. They read their class prophecy and will, presented their gifts, and then gave a short humorous play with a cast of seven. 12 — Commencement was held to-night at the Corona Theatre. The girls wore pretty formal frocks in pastel shades. The boys were dressed in dark coats and white trousers. 13 — The last day of school! I have received my report card. No longer am I a mere freshie, victim of the jests of upperclassmen. Look me over, Dear Diary! I’m a full-fledged sophomore! I’m going to go on my vacation, forget all about school and teachers and lessons, and have a good time until next September. Then I’ll have to start back to school and go through another year of it — only, of course, it won’t be so bad, cause I’ll be a sophomore and can make the freshmen miserable. So, dear old Diary, till that time, GOOD-BYE! sixty-four MIRTHQUAKES X xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx x . . x 1 . 1 X XXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXX XX XX XX X XX XX XXX XX XXX XXX XXX xxxx XXX x XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXX X XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX X . .X 1 . 1 X XXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXX XX XX XXX XX XX XXX XX XXX XXX XXX XXXX xxxx xx XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXX X XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX xxxxx X . .

Buic { and Marquette Sales and Service 212 W. 6th Street Phone 321 yu� - Pirji73 11 ] A COMEBACK Mr. Jones, the rich trustee, was thinking of making a donation to Praireville School. So he went about from room to room inspecting the classes. In each room the children behaved wonderfully — until he came to room 4. As he entered this room, a piece of chalk struck him in the eye. He let out a howl of rage, and the teacher came rushing in from thehall. The enraged trustee turned away from the teacher’s explanations and tramped heavily to the principal’s office. “Ah,” said the principal, “have you decided to give the donation?” Yes, thundered the other; “but not to the school. I’m going to give my money to have the reform-school enlarged so that when the boys in room 4 get there, they’ll have plenty of room!” — Leona Agins With Our Warmest Wishes for a Happy and Successful Career 2 Service Cars Goodrich Silvertown Sixth and Washburn 1 mm) Tires Tubes Phone 313 Locke’s Certified Batteries sixty-eight Sam Hughes (after most of the English clas has been “spelled down”) : That mucilage sure was some sticker. — C.
