ever will boil his eggs this morning? And he always says that no one could boil them quite like I could! Here the poor creature wept so hard she fainted and rolled off the desk. Hey, duck! loudly whispered Tommy Eraser who had been standing guard over the door. There was a great scuffle, then all was silence. Mr. Halley entered the senior room. Looking around, he spied a small gold pencil lying on the floor beside the teacher's desk. Picking it up, he laid it down carefully and went out. Soon the busses arrived with their merry loads of students. Another day had started. -FRANCES FISHER, '28, To Mt. Fuji The king of mountains, thee we praise, On thy holy throne so high Thou rulest all the seas and sky. Thy summit covered with ancient snow, As old as history doth know, Shall shine in the glory of the rising sung Thy slopes in garments of purple gay, Shall beautify the grandeur of the ending day. The pride of a nation, the symbol sublime Of a spirit that guided the nation divine, The queen of beauty, thee we praise. -ALFRED AKAMATSU, '29. Sonnet To a Kitten Oh kitty mine, oh kitty mine, Your days of romping pow are past. You were my kitten to the last, And you've gone to leave me pine. Oh kitty mine, oh kitty mine, I fondled you and held you fast. All other kittens you've surpassed In all my thoughts, my dear feline. The best of friends were you and I, And that you clearly understood, For where I'd go you'd follow night In hill or field or vale or wood. Now I sit here and sob and sigh, To think that you have gone for good. -ELIZABETH WIEDMAN, '28. -wt 2614+

Business Manager In 1920, the Associated Students of Courtland Union High School decided to publish a school annual. It was one of their many tasks to select an appropriate title. After much consideration, it was decided that La Perita, the Spanish for the little pear, would be appropriate, as the pear industry is one of the most important of the Courtland section, and as the Spaniards have played a very interesting part in the history of California. In keeping with the title of its annual, and with the spirit of early California history, the La Perita staff this year has carried out a Spanish motif. In our book you will get a peep at Spanish doorways, details from the Spanish mission, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, don Juan and the senorita, and the famous toreador. The staff hopes the readers will enjoy the ninth edithion of the La Peritaf' .M Z8 M..
