Class Motto On September 12, 1927, thirtyffive freshmen enrolled in the Courtland Union High School. We were initiated on September 21, 1927, and though we were rather frightened, we had a very good time. The upper classmen had made a very interesting and novel program for us, which we performed to the best of our ability. The last thing on the program was a trip to the cafeteria, where we were served with bread and milk, and after we ate, we became fullffledged freshies. We have lost ten members during this term, which left a total of twentyffive. Those who left were Gladys Ioka, Clarence Ovvyang, Sam Tsukomoto, Frank Soderf lun, Helen Suyeda, Diamond Lum, May Toyama, Wallace Warr, and Tom Fujisaki. Only three new members came to offset this loss. They are Anna Smith from Fresno, Burgess Israel from Sacramento and Margaret Lopez from Fresno. These make our number tvventyfeight. The freshman boys and girls are very interested in sports, and their enthusiasm is proved by the number of freshmen on the various school teams. The freshman girls have been represented on all the teams. The boys, too, have been active in athletics, playing on track, baseball and football teams. So far this has been a prosperous and happy year for us, and we aim to remain true to our motto, 'LHard Work and Fair Play, throughout our high school careers. -RUTH BEASLEY, '31, -+1 201+

Don juan OMO esta Ud., senora? queried a voice from behind the senora Lal Paz. Senora La Paz was an elderly woman, who had lived most of her life in Spain. T hen she had moved to Mexico, where she now lived. L'!Hola! she exclaimed, you have frightened me. :fig Si! asked the voice, in a very pleasing manner, so sorry to have inf terrupted you. What can I do for you, don juan? This time she showed superiority and ack' nowledged the fact that she was the oldest and most reliable woman in the little town, called San Pablo. When her husband had died three years before, she was Very young at the age of ninetyftwo and now at the age of ninetyfiive she still had some of her youth left, but felt old age creeping on her, and so she kept herself out of doors when the weather was warm. As it happened she was watering the roses in her flower garden, when don Juan Alverto appeared around the corner and greeted her. Juan had wished for a long time that he would have the privilege of asking Senora La Paz for her hand in mar' riage, but the opportunity had never occurred, so he was obliged to close his lips. Juan was about ninetyfseven years old, and he felt old age creeping on him, but nevertheless, he felt that he ought to have some pleasure in his last days. Today was the day he had decided upon to ask her for her hand in marriage. This day he had planned for weeks and weeks, now at last it had come, and he was saying, Very nice weather we have out today, no es verdad? Si, ya lo creo, she answered, not suspecting anything serious. May I speak to you alone in the house? he asked anxiously. The senora looked puzzled, but consented. When inside of the house she asked, What can I do for you? Wifwifwill yfyfyou mfmfma-, he faltered, as a searching look came into her eyes. May I help you? he finished desperately, and fell into a chair utterly ex' hausted. Why yes, of course, laughed Senora La Paz, but why did you need to come inside to ask me that? -MARGARET FALLMANN, '30.
