The Age of Knighthood! llvith these words, a vivid panorama passes before our eyes. Here, an armor-clad knight, amid clashing swords and colorful banners, kneels before the mighty King, in anticipation of adventure into unexplored lands-the great unknown. Smiling ladies surround the knight, each bearing a richly embroidered sleeve, a brilliant gem, tokens of their faith and devotion to the hero of their hearts. Often, we of this lllodern Age are prone to feel that the glanzour of those romantic days will never come again. But the Green and lVhite pictures our life in tlze twentieth century as even more colorful, romantic, and adventurous. Our spectacular accomplishments in the air prove the illinzitable held of present-day exploration, where the bounds of earth do not hold us . . . where the most distant parts of the shy seem to be possible of conquest. To that spirit which lzas ever urged men onward, do we, Knights of the lllodern ilge, bow . . . tlze spirit of the lfinged lyictoryl -The Editor. 5. flag. Q U A Q V Y V xxx l U V H - V5 K .

The imperfection in the contrivance was soon apparent for the man wished to explore many alluring places where the glider could not go. So an engine was placed in front of the wings and the man Hew where he wished as long as the motor worked. But another imperfection was discovered when one broken part in the single engine hurled the pilot tragically near to eternity, Then the man strengthened his wings, placed three engines in front of the glider, and perfected a plane of great strength and beauty. It rivalled in speed and endurance the verv birds of the air. It soared from one pinnacle of the world to the other, spanned the continent in one hop, and threatened to race the sun across the face of the earth. The man still had visions of lands to explore and this plane could? take him there. Of course the man in this picture represents the combined thoughts of hundreds of our fellowmen searching for scientific principles and converting them into practical usefulness. No blessing which we have today has sprung full-fledged from a single mind, but has taken form little by little through many minds. As we proudly call ourselves Pilots may our ideas be combined and our vision extended in helping to perfect a superior state of mind for exploring the ideals and the heights of the in- tellectual and spiritual world. ln these fields are hidden the golden opportunities of tomorrow, for mentally and spiritually we are still trying to Hy with a glider. -D.

U C- , -7 Our Viee-Prizzeipfzl OUT OF THE MASS of wood, iron, and steel are wrought the most powerful machines of the air. Because of the selection of the finest materials, and because of the work- manship of those most skilled in aircraft these aeroplanes become perfected in beauty of line and usefulness of structure. Out of the mass of human lives there develop individuals most noble in character and capability. Because of their choice of the finest in all activities of life, both work and play, and because of their willingness to be guided by the hands of those whose influence is best, these individuals become most excellent citizens. These citizens are those who deserve the honor to pilot a perfected plane. These are the men and women that Excelsior desires to send forth :is Pilots who shall be able to guide their planes to greatest heights of victory and success. lllay each Senior of the class of 1929 measure up to the ideals established for him and may he guide his plane through a course that will bring him and his alma mater honor and renown. -RIARIAN L. VVILSON. Page TZL'Fll1'F The knight of the air, by means of his wings, passes above and beyond the ordinary bounds of existence. From vast regions of light he regards the world below and grasps in its en- tirety, what we, on the earth, see only in fragments, ln like manner the students of Ex- celsior may mount on the wings of knowledge into higher realms of vis- ion and understanding. From such high planes they may see the pattern of life as a whole, and construct their own lives upon true values. -BERNICE RANKIN. ll N 1 4 l l l ri all I If I l l 1 i 4 i wil will ills! 5 0 ix, l il lf 5 1 A f f '- L,,,,., Boys' Viff-P G 1' C 0 n cz n d IV I1 1' 2' C fee -T l l 1 1 :il 1,2 A f sf ereeecicierf ici'eitLi Student Counselor As We look out towards the future, each of us, no doubt, is wondering whether we shall attain the heights of victory and success. We each one probably feel that if we had the secret formula which has been used by those have become famous, we too achieve great things. The fav- saying of lllarshal Foch, the who led the armies of the Al- to victory in the VVorld War, is and yet is full of meaning.

The Senate, an organization composed of one representative from each class, was originated and a school ring, to he acquired in the senior year, was adopted. The Student Body was directed hy a capable staff of officers who filled their duties in a thorough and sincere manner. Ralph Farnum, as president the first semester, proved to he an efficient executive. George Gortikov, as president the second semester, presided at our many meetings with great ease and successfully completed one of the most propitious years Excelsior has ever known. Shirley hlorrison proved her ahility as the hrst girl vice-president and held the olhce both Hrst and second semesters. Jean Gilhert and Thelma Ryan occupied the position of secretary, lllar- garet Wilsoim, treasurer, and Glen Clanton and Rohert Stein, sergeant-at-arms, With the close of another year of student activities, the history of the year l928-29 is completed.

One last lon.g look, back 'cross the years Of high school, And they pass before you now. A manly man, with a dimple in his chin And a silly grin, Before you now, a history shark And then With lunch pail comes a. cheery maid. This lad beside her loves to park. And here a cop who watches cafeteria lines Behind a. bright red top. Coming now, a melting tenor, Chief-of-police close by, And talking, talking, the feminine Tony Sarg. Don't grin, that pug nose has its charms For babes in arms. And the wee sma' girl behind her yet Has hopes of growing. Brother and sister now we see W'ith a. deep marcel on him,-she's a quiet miss. Two more girls-one with a large guitar, The other often stops to change a tire. Even now, she ccrmes to view, The poetess and news woman, And a dignified milker of cows. Far and near we know our Farnum, And the curly locks of our four-sport athlete. Gone are the days of the putt-putting cycle And the long-haired maid of the play. Behind a quiet golden lad W'e see our Student Body President,- hero of the day. H-h-here he-he comes, but where's the girls? And Jerry, where is Phyllis? Don't overlook that Shorty guy, he's mighty. And see Live-Action come strutting along. Look now for blushes warm and red, And a general-Lee good debater. My, how we turn to look-a blue-slip writer! More coming, a carefree lad I seep This girl is noted for athletics ,' This lad is steady, pounding away. Mac is giggling, making up in confer- enceg Chick is playing tennis, basketball, and hockey. A dark girl actress, and a cute blonde stubbing along, Precede that hero guy who plays the sousaphone. Yet two more noted M's,' one goes a-Daling, The other with a silly face, goes trip- ping down the hall. Oh, see the Count come tripping by, Prepare for Price-less giggles now. The parson's son U1 noted for scientific research, The artist, painter of signs, And the chivalrous Romeo of the Senior Ditch Day fwe all keep warmj. Remember that pugnacious boy of mut- night curly locks, And Wilda's crony always is reducing- what? Read between the lines, another Daler, And the lovely heroine of the Senior Play. Two brothers tall, with shoulders broad-- Does anyone know those strutting ath- letes? Shallow shoals can often be deep, Smiths are often distinguished, Smart heads are not concealed by boy- ish bobs, So also the Editor falls in this class, Sweet president of the Girls' League, too. Some blue-eyed Willies like the girls, Staffs, however, Allison does not afford. School-marm-to-be, in her glasses stern, And Sweet Mae, now appear. Speedy, bashful, player of basketball, Shyer yet, a curly-headed lad, behind his Bold, bad brother. Tell it with pep, is our yell-leader's motto, Plump, dark-haired Lois always does what she ought to. Though thorny her name, she has much of the rose, And this girl can make the piano ring. Under that stubbiness, what is there of foolishness? Very truly it has been said Short people have the pep and go. VVill Willhites ever be born on Fridays? Winning a girl is easy for some guys. Weaving dreams employs a blonde lassie, And this one's all-wrighty' in basket- ball. Young in years or mentality, is Brig- ham? Zinn, how nobly she brings up the rear -still reducing? They all have passed, the Senior Class. Wish them good luck! The door of life has come ajar, For them today. -LOUISE BOYLE, '29, Page Nineteen l 5 iiiGl'CCllCl1ldlfVIIlft'l'?'0 1990, Senior Class Pfmfignf - - GLEN CLANTON Vire-President GORDON lXICH.ATTON Secretary - BIARIAN SCHEIFELE Treasurer - - ROBERT PARSONSON ddfvisors Miss VVATKINS, lX'I1ss COX ANOTHER EVENTFUI. YEAR has come to a close and those of the class of 1929 will soon depart. Will fond memories of this class linger, long after its members are gone? Surely they will be remembered, with these recollections brought to mind: Freshmen of 1926-green, grave, grammar school graduates, soniferous Sophomores, gaining position and admiration in Excelsior, triumphant Juniors, producing the flashy cardinal sweaters and a class play, The Romantic Age, to go down in the history of the school, and satisfied Seniors, the ultimate goal attained. The Senior Class partyg a snow-fighting good time at Lake Arrowhead: the dramatic production, 'LThe Rise of Silas Laphamug and Ohl that Dress-Up Dayl fall show the liveliness and activity of the class of 1929. Concluding the events of the year were the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, staged amid brilliant color and gaiety, Baccalaureate sermon, and then the final degree''-Commencement, with the much-longed-for diploma-the emblem of the VVinged Victory. Soon they shall depart. lllay the memories of the class of 1929 ever linger.

BEING FIRM BELIEYERS in bigger and better display of class spirit, the Juniors are always right there and ready to act. They are prominent in our athletics, clubs, dramatics, and scholarship and have made enviable records in many of these. The class play, 'fThe Road to Yesterday, was one of the outstanding dramatic productions of the year and surpassed all expectations. The members of the cast portrayed their roles exceedingly well and proved to be promising actors for Les lllarionettes next year. Like the other classes, the Juniors held a lively party, with dancing, and music by the class orchestra. Games and refreshments were featured too, of course. And who could forget those blue sweaters in which our worthy classmates burst forth, a little late but right there in style and color! But you ain't heard nothin' yet. VVhen the Juniors gave the Seniors the big banquet in June, they more than showed their ability to feed and entertain. The beautiful decorations, clever favors, delicious menu and spicy toasts in the cafeteria, followed by colorful decorations and dance programs, and a real peppy jazz orchestra in the gym, formed an all-round enjoyable evening for everyone and the most successful Junior-Senior banquet ever held. All these accomplishments show that the Junior class is a worth y Organization and one that will produce an ideal group of graduates for the year 1930.

Rah! Rah! Sophomoresll' is often heard booming from the auditorium when this group holds its class meetings. Did someone say pep? Well, we hope to shout it's P-E-P, spelled in capital letters! Having put aside the title of Freshmen, this class has also graduated from back- wardness in all activities and accomplishments. Its members are leaders in oratory, scholarship, athletics, and have taken an active part in all undertakings of the school year. The Sophomore class stunt was one of those that placed in the tryouts and was presented at the evening performance. Its members participated in the school orator- ical contest and also delivered readings in the Forensic Contest, Katherine Odell win- ning first place and representing Excelsior at the district finals. illany of the Sopho- more students have made enviable records in athletics and have won renown for their class in all fields of student activity. Their undying enthusiasm and variable abilities have been a wonderful asset to their class. just to show they had the proper interclass spirit, they invited the Seniors to their party, where were to be had a professional orchestra, a snappy program, and lots of eats! And didnft everyone have a good time! VVith such a record of activity and achievement the Sophomore class is expected to produce an outstanding Junior class for next year. Sophs! Rah! Rah! Rah!

This group has the distinction of being the first class to enter Excelsior in the middle of the term, as Freshmen, and having com- pleted one year and a half of Work, it is progressing very rapidly in all attainments. One member of the class held a Student Body office during his second semester in school, three of the students represented the class in the Stunt Night performance and won third place, another was a member of the championship D Boys' Basketball team, while all of the members are active in such organizations as the Glee Club, Les lllarionettes, and Latin Club. Such activity is unusual for a class of this size and has brought forth admiration from the upper classmen. As the Junior B class next year, may their progress be even more marked and their achievements more numerous.

Green is right! But it did not take long for this group, the largest Freshman class ever to enter Excelsior, to become acquainted with the customs and traditions of their new abode. After the usual initiation, featuring pig tails, baby caps, bibs, pants rolled to the knees, and old mile-trodden shoes, they elected a most dependable staff of officers and set out to make a record for themselves. First, a party with program, games fHide and Go Seek, We heardj, eats, 'n everything. Then there was the Freshman Boys' Quartette that has entertained in assembly. And who could forget the book of lwother Goose verses, each illustrated by a costumed Freshman, at the Stunt Night performance! The little Freshies have unusual vocal talent in their midst. lVIortie Haskell, as the leading character in the annual operetta, The Nautical Knot, established a new precedent for Freshman classes. Various members have participated in the many contests and clubs, and have starred in athletics and oratory. With such an enviable record of achievements for the first year this class is sure to be an outstanding Sophomore class next year.

FARN UM THE SECOND CLASS to enter Excelsior in the middle of the term and thus evade the usual initiation feats, were the Freshman B's, the winter class of 33. But they have recovered from the usual greenness without this event, and have made them- selves very much' at home. They have shown their interest in what's going on in the school by their entrance into the various iields of accomplishment, and although the group composes the small- est class in Excelsior, it is hy no means considered the least in activity. lVe have heard that some of the girls are getting along quite well in Excelsior and like the atmosphere fwe wonder to what this could referj. llliss Allen and lllr. Farnum were chosen as advisors and they have taken much interest in this group and are responsible for 21 reat deal f 't g o 1 s progress. As these students have been in Excelsior only a short time, they have not had time to distinguish themselves to a very high degree but we are waiting with many expectations for next year.

Lovely, lilting laughter heard, Soft, sweet music, singing bird, Rustle of the trees, 'wind stirred, All are saying just one word, Slze has said she loszfes me! -R'qARCIA ELLIOTT, '29, THE WA TCHERS Oh, flyer, go eonquer the uncharted spaces, The unexplored regions of Aerial Sea-U And into tlze sunrise his gold wings are melting- But newer returning his shadow will be. For hark, in the opting the growling of thunder, And see the red jfngers strike from the grim skies- And hurl in the euroed wave the blank fury under. His shadow dissolves in the grave where he lies. And down the bleak seacoast where wild the spray's flying, A night wind is piping a weird melody- While through the drear hours, their eyes red with crying, A babe and its mother peer out on the sea. -DELBERT Moss, '3O.

Then a student with a stern Nay, nay look in his eye approaches and in a surprisingly short time the line is very orderly and all is well. The police have performed their duties exceedingly well this year and have suc- ceeded in keeping order at all times. These 'lcopsu are selected by the sergeant-at-arms of the Student Body, at the beginning of each semester, and are only removed when they receive live or more demerits for committing some misdemeanor. Their sincerity and dependability, together with the hearty co-operation of the Student Body, account for the efficiency of the force and their ability to execute the laws of the school.

Court sessions are held daily at which time students who have received blue slips for committing a misdemeanor are brought before the judges. Demerits are awarded in accordance with the rules of the school, the extent of misdemeanor, and the attitude of the student. The judges handle the cases with impartiality and fairness, and their attitude lends the necessary air of justice to the court.

But the club has pro- gressed a great deal and now includes all the boys in the school. lts aim is to de- velop the physical, mental, and moral qualities of the boys and to encourage boys' entrance into athletics, which is only possible by living a clean, straight life. Prominent speakers are often obtained for the regular meetings of the Boys' Club and their interesting talks are always enjoyed. Every year the boys entertain their fathers. A program, with a notable speaker, and refreshments are featured, after which the fathers are shown through the buildings, These parties have always been a success and have created a closer relationship between the boys and their fathers. Rlr. Langdon, the advisor, has spent much time in aiding-the advancement of the club and his Work is greatly appreciated. hlay the Knights of Aspirin continue to progress, as they have this year!

' 'PHYS SING the members of the Scholarship Society at their quarterly meetings, held in Room 38. Although serious in intent, the members of this organization believe in fun and lots of it. To start the year off right, the annual banquet was held in the school cafeteria, Saturday evening, October 20. An interesting address, the candle ceremony, and a spectacular and appetizing array of food were the most interesting features. On Vlvednesday, llarch 6, the members were dismissed from afternoon Classes to attend the play entitled Li,qhtnin' at Hollywood. Every quarter a special feature similar to these is planned as a reward for earning the ten grade points necessary for mem- bership in the club. Besides these awards, the students are excused from semester examinations, which is always a relief to the more fortunate ones. Everyone is urged to study just a little bit harder and earn a membership in the Scholarship Society next year, that he may enjoy the many good times and privileges awarded the members. ls it not worth while?

Any student interested in oratory should apply for membership, as practice in this line is beneficial to everyone. To become a member, one must pass a short exam- ination on parliamentary law and deliver a five minute speech. The Filibusters sponsored a program for assembly in February, and presented Professor Harris of Pomona College. He gave an interesting talk on lndia and pre- sented many facts concerning life there and international relationships. Although this is her lirst year at Excelsior, llliss Allen's work as advisor of the club has been very commendable, and it is partly due to her efforts that the Filibusteis enjoyed such a successful year.

The lnter-School debaters were two of our best students, Jean Gilbert and Robert Lee who, though defeated, went down lighting. ln the lnter-Class debates, the juniors, Elsie Deuel and Earl Parsons, won a close battle from the Seniors, Dick Philippi and Philip llartin, when they debated the interesting question, Resolved, that billboards should be abolishedf' The Sophomores, Katherine Qdell and Beverly Parsons, Won on the same subject in an equally interesting contest from the Fresh- men, George Santee and Ellison Brady. Katherine Qdell, winner of last year's Forensic Contest, Won again this year and represented Excelsior in the district contest. The climax of the season was the Constitutional Cratorical Contest, won by Barton Rush. Barton is dynamic, delivers a finished oration and holds the audience by his words as historians have recorded of great orators,-we expect the best for Barton in the future. He also won the district contest at Anaheim. Student interest in oratory and debating has increased yearly, and we hold high expectations for many spectacular achievements next year, Page Fifty-three i -'-f1lG1'cc11 and Il Izlfviis' S.

As an aid to the Christmas Charity Fund, the Glee Club presented a short pro- gram in assembly before the holiday season, and also presented a most effective candle ceremony at the Christmas program. At the Fifth annual concert of the combined glee clubs and orchestra, the girls again showed their talent and skill in the selections that were rendered. The highest achievement of the year, however, was the presentation of the operetta, UA Nautical Knot, in which the chorus as well as the leading char- acters did such commendable work.

This group of girls is selected to represent the Glee Club at various social func- tions in the surrounding communities when it is impossible for all to go. The sex- tette has entertained many times this year and the members have been very efhcient representatives, with Bliss Kagarise as leader. All have sweet voices and their num- bers have been most heartily received at all school entertainments, as Well as outside programs. Only two of the girls will graduate, thus leaving four members with whom to start the sextette for next year. This is surely a good beginning and we shall expect to hear much of the group next year.

Raymond Courtney, tenor, was a member of last year's quartette and has con- tinued his good work through this year. Elmo llurphy, a Sophomore, sang second tenor and proved to be a strong con- stituent of the group. The baritone, Theron Flack, was a new discovery, as this was his first year in the glee club and the excellent qualities of his voice merited a position in the quartette, where he carried much of the solo work. Ed Hibberd, as bass, produced the necessary sounds from down in the depths to complete the essentials of a good quartette. Two of the members will return next year and with their experience will form a strong beginning for the quartette of 1930. Page Fifiy-sezwz 'i?iCII'CC1ILYlltI'1VfI1.ft'l5f 7 .

VVC would surely be lost as the band boys are one of the best team supporters in the school and besides showing their own school spirit, they arouse everyone else's with their wonderful music. And another thing! For the first time in Excelsior's history, the band presented a free evening concert in the Auditorium. The event took place on Friday evening, April l9, and proved a great success, judging by the hearty acclamations of all who attended.

Each year, the membership in the orchestra increases and with this increase there is a marked improvement in the quality of the music. At the fifth annual concert, the various types of numbers, patriotic, classical and modern, were artistically interpreted and contributed a great deal to the concert's de- cided success. All is not seriousness with the orchestra, however, for an occasional party is staged, with lots of pep and good times.

'THOMAS THIS COMPLETES the sixth year of the existence of the Les hlarionettes, the dramatic club of Excelsior, which was formed for the study of drama and the technicalities of the stage. In the past years, this group has presented two three-act plays during the year, but this has been eliminated and a new system introduced into the course. Each student must earn a certain number of points for his credit in the course, by taking part in short plays for Stunt Night, social functions at school, the Christmas play, and entertainments in the surrounding communities, by outside reading and various other sources. Another new plan was formulated, in which the Christmas play, VVhy the Chimes Rangf' is to be presented annually for the people of the vicinity, in the Auditorium. Because of the Hu epidemic, this was not possible this year, but the plan will be carried out next year and thereafter. We all know of lllrs. Thomas' ability in directing dramatic productions and we can easily realize her value as advisor of the Les lXlarionettes. Page Sixty -'eil G 1' C C ll a ll' d IV I1 1' 1? C lit - Cfzriyfllzfzx Play WHY THE CHIMES RANGW A NEW CUSTOM was introduced into Excelsior this year with the presentation of 'XVhy the Chimes Rangl' as the Christmas play. It is a story of a small boy of medieval times who sacrificed a most sincere longing to attend the annual Christmas ceremonies at the cathedral, to feed and care for an old woman who came to his door, cold and hungry. As a result, the little boy, Holgar, found himself in the cathedral where kings hrougfht jewels: and merchants, spices and silks, that the long-silenced chimes might ring. He offered his penny and soon the chimes hegan to sound. An angel appeared and told Holgar that the sacrifice and spirit in which the gift is offered. rather than the amount, is what constitutes the true Christmas spirit.

Then the beautiful, proud gypsy girl who at last found her match and a partner to travel the long road with her, the cruel, money-mad Lord Strangevon, divorcing his wife and forcing Elspeth to marry him, and the hero, big, tall, handsome, coming for Elspeth only to be caught in a trap, and Whipped nearly to death by the cruel lord's men! But he had his glorious revenge when, on being presented as a bridal gift to poor Elspeth, he stabbed Lord Strangevon in the back. Klidsummer eve again, the spell broken, and the scene laid in the artistic, mod- ernistic studio in prosaic London. Elspethls Wish to take the Road to Yesterday is broken. But romance lingers on-for Jack reappears, in doublet and hose, in which he is posing for XVill Leveson, artist-but to Elspeth, the Jack of her dreams. And then comes a beautiful ending when Kenelm finds a forgiving Eleanor, and Elspeth has her Jack. The Junior class achieved this delightful romance in all its imaginative reality and glamour on November 16. Kladge Clanton was Elspeth,-Ed Hibberd was Jack, and llrs.

The talent and work of lllrs. Thomas resulted in the splendid characterization and smooth production of this difficult play, Clifford Smith cannot be too highly praised for the skillful and artistic way in which he handled the character role of Silas Lapham. As the proud, boastful paint king who knew that the Persis Brand was the best brand on earth, as the father, torn between love of his daughter and family pride, as the broken business man who chose between honesty with failure and dishonesty with material gain, Clifford Smith gave such a sincere, heartfelt portrayal that it was hard to believe that he was not actually living the character. Ruth Laporte in the role of Persis, his wife, was sweet, motherly, and unaffected. Penelope Lapham, in all her girlish moods, gay or serious, was chafmingly portrayed by Thelma Ryan. And how we did sympathize with hlary Dennis as lrene, who was rudely awakened to love only to lose its Object! Tom Corey, the eager young hero, who found his initiation into business so cle- lightful, was played to perfection by Ralph Farnum. This production xvill not Soon be forgotten by Excelsior and its friends. Page Sixty-four -- G l'C'C'lL and IV IL 1' t 0 F? 056 M :' 'K , V , 221'-' f X lx fe v. 1 ' n Azz 'M A A f 4 V2 . . . Q .

Thomas, dramatic coach. lliriam Schultz, as the beautiful, vivid Julia, sang the feminine lead. Julia was haughty and disdainful but she had a lovely soprano voice and a Way about her which Won the hearts of men. Gentle Nance was sung by Lois Prescott in her rich alto voice with a sincerity which quite won the audience. hlortimer Haskell sang the tenor lead of Barnabas Lee, the wandering and temperamental artist, with great effect-on the girls. Bashful Joe Stout was sung and played by Delbert lVIoss, and old Bill Salt characteristically portrayed by Edwin Hibberd. The three Barnstapoole girls, Daisy, Delia, and Dora, were played delightfully by Frances Windes, Juanita Oliver, and Katherine Stein. Then there were those three jaunty sailor lads, Rogers Russell, Ronald Hill, and Elmo hlurphy. The cast was supported by a group of artists and chorus of seventy-live girls and boys. The story concerns itself with Julia, haughty belle of Barnstapoole. She slights the sailors, who revenge themselves by carrying off her artist lover, Barnabas Lee. Anti gentle Nance is heart-broken because Joe Stout, being bashful, has Bill propose for him and he proposes to Julia by mistake. ln Act lll this tangled knot is fortunately untangled when Bill explains his mis- take and Barnabas Lee returns. The sailors make up with the Barnstapoole girls and the scene ends with promise of many happy weddings soon to be. The credit for this clever production belongs to hliss Kagarise, our excellent music instructor, and to her assistant, hlrs. Thomas. Both worked long and well for the success of this operetta.

LANGDON MR. VAN PETTEN Coaches MR. LANGDON COACH LANGDON is coming to be recognized as a familiar part of Excelsior. Not only his excellent work in producing winning teams, but his whole-hearted interest in the welfare of every boy who comes to Excelsior, has won for him a respected position in the school. The Pilots may well be proud of their Navigator.'l MR. ASHTON Coach Ashton has shown himself to be of the material of which successful coaches are made. The success of the class B football and basketball teams, and the Varsity baseball squad, is due largely to Coach Ashton's effort and has been a source of much pride to the school. He would be a valuable Pilot in any non-stop flight. MR. VAN PETTEN llr. Van Petten deserves much credit for the remarkable results of his coaching this year. Van'l has long been the much admired Uhlentorl' of the class C basket- ball and track teams. His work for Excelsior is greatly appreciated bv everyone, Van is the kind of coach who makes the Pilots high-fliers. Page SF'Z'Fl1fj'-fOllf -all G 1' C 0 ll 11 II al IV I1 1' If 0 L 1. W l Football ALTHOL'GH THE Pilots! Varsity football season this year could not be aptly termed a non-stop flightf' it was as a whole, fairly successful. Fullerton and Brea-Olinda humbled Excelsior before the Pilots had a chance to take off. The Green and White Griddersn rose Hinto the windu in time to hold the much touted Anaheim squad, however, and from then on zoomed over Tustin, Orange, and Downey, only to 'fcrack upu before the mighty Huntington Beach outht. The Pilots undoubtedly reached the highlight of their season when they tri- umphed over the redoubtable Orange eleven. All past defeats at the hands of Grange were avenged by Excelsior in a heart- breaking struggle in which the Pilots came through and perched on the best end of a 7-O score. Coach Langdon had little material from which to build a team and the record turned in by the squad speaks well for his ability. Tom Ryan, as captain, worked hard to keep the team functioning correctly and he certainly set an example with his fighting spirit.

Witli only tive of last year's B's returning, Coach Ashton had a practically green squad out of which to build a well-balanced team. Although most of the fellows were inexperienced, they went through the season in an enviable manner. Captain Wright was a fighting leader and one of the best ends in the League. Considering the size of the schools which Excelsior was pitted against, our light- weights deserve much praise for their defeat of Orange, Huntington Beach, and Tustin, and their loss by only a small margin to Fullerton and Anaheim. The B's played two practice games against teams from much larger schools than our own, VVhittier and llluir Tech, and held them to tie scores. Nearly all of the boys of this year's lightweight squad will be eligible for varsity football next year, so watch Excelsior's 1929 varsity football team! Those earning letters are: Captain VVright, E. Uarte, A. Steinman, H. TValker, BI. VVilliams, E. Salter, E. Farnum, L. Dougherty, L. Ravera, R. Russel, O. Hath- cock, L. Bingham, llullins and C.

Uur skeeters were somewhat handicapped in that they did not have a regular coach. Lynn lladray and Willie Schnabel, two ineligible football players, coached the little fellows to the best of their ability and certainly deserve much credit for the manner in which they handled them. Under the watchful eyes of their two coaches. the boys progressed by leaps and bounds, and had one of the strong Heaweight teams in the league. There was great competition for the eleven positions. For the first week or so the midgets had to be satisfied with only gym suits as protection from the batterings of would-be fullbacks. They soon showed themselves to be worthy of more ample equipment. however, and soon burst forth in the glory of new outfits. Captain Barton Rush, small but mighty, was the terror of the HC league. 'Tirst in practice, first in games, and first in the hearts of his team-mates. Page Sezfezzty-nizze -arf,-1,111111111111'111'1tri- 1551 1 t Q, L SIG' , Sl Z i'i25f'lfaw at i'?fW't ' ' '. . Class A Basketball Team THE EXCELSIOR Varsity Basketball squad passed through a very choppy season. The Pilots took many nose-dives, and forced landings were all too frequent, but by swapping games with Anaheim, Grange, and Huntington Beach, our casaba artists showed what they were really capable of doing. . As per schedule, Downey went down before the Green and VVhite onslaught, so the season was not entirely unsuccessful. Captain Flack and Tom Ryan were the only lettermen from the '28 Varsity. The rest of the squad, with the exception of Ed Hibberd, was recruited from last year's Bees.'l Speed Stierli and Ryan kept the forward sections hot, while Earnum at center worked with Captain Flack and Stein, guards, to make an airtight defense. Hibberd, Brett, and Haygood will carry on next year, and with the help of some of this year's Bees, they ought to form a first-class aggregation.

Theron, the captain of the team, was rated as one of the best guards of the league. His height and strength, together with his lighting spirit, made him zz real expert at recovering the hall from the haekhoard. Bohm was a great guard and a wonderful feeder for the for- wards. His ability in getting the ball out of the enemy territory, made him a valuahle asset to the team. Pzzye Eiglzfy-one X. Wa' . I7 . b ar .

The 30's lost three games in a tough schedule, bowing to Fullerton, Anaheim, and Orange. Excelsior triumphed in the return games, however, showing that they ranked among the 'Atop-notchersu in the league. The most promising prospect at the beginning of the season Was Ernie Wright. Dave Turley and Ctis Hathcock soon showed themselves to be just what was needed to make a scoring machine, however, and Captain Art Steinman with Harvey Walker exhibited some real talent as guards. Once again we wish to congratulate our Bls.', The boys who made the squad were: Captain Art Steinman, H. Walker, O. Hathcock, K. Flack, C. Holmes, llullins, D. Turley, E. VVright, G. Van der Laan and E. Uarte. Page Eighty-five - 1?FlCrCc11 Ll II fl ll'l1 itulite' C Class Basketball Team Top, left to right: Rl. Ota, H. Raphael, H. Smith, lllgr., E. Kelly, B.

'1 gf, l ea Varsity Tracie THE PILOT TRACK OUTFIT this year was outstanding through the steller performance of several brilliant stars. Foremost among these was Tommy McDonald, the record- breaking shot putter. Tommy annexed about a half dozen medals during the season and also set a new league record in the Huntington Beach meet, with a toss of forty- eight feet, seven and a half inches. We predict great things for Tommy and his shot, in his college career. Captain Nap Goodwin, former league record holder of the eight-eighty jaunt, was somewhat off his feed during the first part of the season and had a tough time making his letter. Napl' should come back strong next year, however, and clean up. Claire Champlain, a Freshman Hash, proved to be a consistent point winner in the mile. Theron Flack and Dave Turley helped pile up points in the league meet. Ross Reed, Aubrey Wilhite, Kenneth Flack, and George LaForm were continually Working in their own events to attain point-winning form. There were more boys out for track this year than ever before in the history of Excelsior. If this keeps up, we'll have a real team yet. Page Eighty-eight Qt3lG1fc'c1z and WILz'tel9t ' RIS st sw ll! g W, Glass C Track THE CLASS C TRACK was certainly a credit to Excelsior this year. Working under the competent instruction of hir. Van Petten, they placed higher at the league meet than did the Varsity squad. The sensation of the season was Mashiota Ota, hailed as captain and record breaker. Ota established two new league records at Huntington Beach, when he ran the fifty-yard dash in 5.8 seconds and the century in 10.6 seconds. It can Well be said that Qta set a winning example for the squad. lliyakawa and Raphael were consistent point earners with the eight-pound shot. The relay team, consisting of Qta, Lindstrom, Rush, and Kelly, was a speedy quartette. The boys proved their speed when they took third place in the league meet. Although not all the members of the HC squad Were as successful as the boys mentioned above, we wish to express our appreciation for their Work and wish them success next year in their performances with the Varsity team.

They should have seen Miss Payneis first string pass the casaba around their opponents and grease the hoop in competition with the best teams in the section. Every game a victory, and each player a Hash of oiled lightning! Such a girls' team is -no bunch of slow delicate players, but a fighting, slippery, and sporting defender of ExcelsiOr's fame! Two series of games were played with Montebello, Downey and Citrus, pride of her valley with Jay See connections, and all fell twice before the practiced on- slaught and deadly fire of Excelsior's team. VVe're proud of their record,-let's sup- port them better next year! These girls were captained by Jean Gilbert, guard and all-around good player. The others were lVIarjorie Miyakawa, guard, Barbara Gilbert, jumping center, Terese Galbreath, running center, Phyllis Cole, forward, and Jeanette Archer, for- Ward. Their technique and speed were largely due to the expert coaching of lVIiss Payne, who groomed and trained and Whipped the team into shape.

Such basketball as they played! They finished the season with only One defeat. After the interclass games in which the Sophomores were winners, the first and second Interschool teams were chosen. The second team played a series similar to that of the first team with Downey, hlontebello, and Citrus, their single defeat being their first game with Downey. This served only to instill a fighting spirit in the team which resulted in the annihilation of their opponents in the succeeding games. Chick hlorrison and Genia Gire split time as captains and played the for- ward positions. ln the center were Alvern Bingham, an excellent jumper, and Enid Fleay, a swift passer. The goal was unapproachable as guarded by Viola Gortikov and Alta Pierce. Their excellent reserve consisted of lllildred VVarner, Isabelle lXIcCain, Nlaudie Brown and llluriel Archer. Splendid team work, individual technique, and passing ability were developed under the coaching of llliss Payne, to whom much credit belongs for the success of the team.

HSlam 'em overln Such injunctions and many more were heard around the volley ball court as the sea- son started. with enthusiasts of all classes turning out to play. lNIy, what fun!- and the interclass series began. Each class elected its captain and set out to train for the championship. The star players were distributed evenly among the classes and competition was decidedly keen. Having laid our bets on the heaviest favorites, which were usually those of our own class Cof course we don't bet, we wagerl, we watched with interest the Juniors start off in the lead. But hoorayl The Seniors forged ahead and took the cake,-arm bands, rather. Shirley llorrison, Jean Gilbert, Eugenia Gire, Vena Thomas, Viola Gortikov, Carol Fulton, llarjorie Kliyakawa, and Edith Salter were outstanding players in the series and deserve special mention. All the games were interesting and well played, thanks to the direction and supervision of lX'Iiss Payne, our all-sports girls' coach. Page Klizzefy-five I x no -Ii l I N Q . X ill ll Girls' Baseball Team HGOIN' OUT for indoor ? Such was the battle cry of Excelsior girls as the baseball season approached. Then to cap the climax, a brand new diamond and backstop were constructed, much larger than last year's with newly painted benches to go with it. Could we play baseball? Look at our record of hits and runs! Nearly all of last seasonls team were here to go Out again-Jean Gilbert, Chiclc,' hlorrison, Thelma Thompson, Eugenia Gire, Susie'l Salter, lllary lllinch,-with much talented new material in addition,-Alvern Bingham, Vena Thomas, Carol Fulton, Billie Bass, Jeanette Archer, llladge and Gladys Slatten, and Others. VVith their bright green suits, these girls decorated the diamond. After weeks of practice, the interclass games were held, and then the iirst and second teams were chosen. Their record and excellent playing were the result of the work of llliss Payne, who refereed, coached, and encouraged the girls. PLAYERS Catcher - - - JEAN GILBERT Left short EUGENIA GIRE, Capt.

Spring means poetry and lovers and-best of all-track, for which the air and atmosphere of spring were made. Every gym class turned eagerly to track with the advent of spring and prepared for the interclass meet. Then the cinderpath was laid out and the interclass meet held on April twelfth and fifteenth. The Sophomores ran and threw and jumped to victory. scoring thirty-five points. The Girl Track Champions had their second big encounter at EXcelsior's Play Day to which all the girls had looked forward for a long time. This was held on Saturday, April twenty-eighth, and attended by Covina, Citrus, lllontebello, and Downey. In the morning track events were held, and after an intermission for lunch, there were stunts and games in the gym. We can only say, Hhiy, what funll' Girls outstanding in track events were: Ethelyn Thorn, hop, step, and jump, Billie Bass, high jump, Fern Santee, broad jump and runs, Alvern Bingham, baseball throw and eight pound shotg Nellie Lillard, eight pound shot and basketball throw, Thelma Thompson, runsg Edna Kelly, runsg Eugenia Gire, runs and relay, Jean Gilbert, jumps and throws, Leona Goodpasture, jumpsg Susie Salter, lladge Slatten, and Ruth Spencer, relay.

With lXIiss Payne's capable coaching, the girls mastered the game and began to bring out its fine points. VVith terms such as striking circle, alley, 'lwingsf' and Hinnersn swimming in their heads, scores of girls turned out for after-school hockey and resolved them- selves into class teams, between which a bitter rivalry existed, judging from the epithets which said teams hurled at each other, Il0t to mention the hockey-playing itself. The Sophomores succeeded in proving their point by winning the interclass series. Then a school team was picked to represent Excelsior at Covina's Play Day, April twentieth, and at Excelsior, April twenty-eighth. This thrilling game is a combination of football, soccer, speedball, and basketball, played on a field about the size of a football field. Eleven players compose a team, tive forwards for offense, five backs and a goal-keeper for defense. The object is to score on the opposing team's goal and defend your own-no easy job, though a very exciting one. Une season served to develop an excellent gameg what will several more do? Hockey is bound to put Excelsior on the map sooner or later, so watch our smoke!

Girls are out for tennis! Speedy balls and speedy footwork continued to keep the courts hot morn- ing. noon. and night. And the competition! So many girls tried out that a Round Robin tournament was held, each girl being matched to play six games with an- other girl. An elimination tournament followed, the winners playing two out of three games to determine their position on the school team. The victorious members were Shirley lllorrison, first singlesg Iona DeRemer, second singles: Enid Eleay and Elinor Brown, first doublesg Florence Spencer and Erma Vaughn, second doubles. Rose Dolan and Fae Bushnell were chosen as sub- stitutes. llatches were planned for the Covina Play Day, the Long Beach Poly High Play Day, and the Excelsior Play Dayg also with Brea-Qlinda, Fullerton, Orange, Tustin. and Santa Ana. Klrs. Lee. Girls' Tennis Coach, is given full credit for the splendid spirit of co- operation and the excellent technique shown by the girls throughout the season.

Now Jonah was a very good salesman and his boss say to him vun day, HVe plan to open up a new terr'tory around Norwalk, which is a up and coming town, 'n we're sending you, lllr. Jonah, as our representativef' Now Jonah thought to himself, 'AI guess I'l1 take vun long vacation on the ocean already yet. Norwalk is some tough town. So he hed his pitcher took 'n bought him a passport 'n a ticket to Catalina Island. Vell, not many days out it begun to get a little choppy, den it got a little rough, and den dere was no living on that boat. The wind blew and blew, and the rain fell and fell, In all the people hed to hold on to the side of the boat to keep from falling off. When things had come to this terrible pass, the eap'n begun to get worried. S0 he and the matey got dere heads togedder und thunk and thunk. Then Jonah comes bustin' in Cnever having read the etikette booksb, tearing his hair and shouting, I done it, I done it. What you done? says the cap'n. Oh my conscience, my consciencelll' says Jonah. I done disobeyed my employer 'n I might get canned. Never mind, never mind, says the cap'n soothingly. Dere ainlt much chance helll ever see you once more. Buck up, my man, buck up. But Jonah, he couldn't buck up. So the eapln says, UI have itl We'll trow you in the ocean Where he'll never find you, at allf' So, they threw him in. And the storm stopped right now. I always knew there was a jinx on this here boat,', says the eap'n. But poor llIr. Jonah! The water was rather cold, and where was he to get his breakfast? But all of a sudden he saw a great big fish coming along. 'fHello, says Jonah. HCan you tell me the way to the nearest Hot-Dog station Fl' very politely. 'fSure, says the whale ,C for thatls who it wasl, f'Walk right in ll' And he opened his mouth, in down went Jonah. Jonah said, Well, at least it's warmer in here, but it's rather stuffy. I CAN- NOT sleep with my windows elosedf' So he opened a window. But the old whale was spouting again and Jonah got all wet. f'Next time, he said, I'l1 not forget to bring an umbrella! And then Jonah he began to get hungry again. And then he got mad. And then he began to throw things around and kick the doors. This was TOO much for lllr. Whale so he made for land, forty per, and spit Jonah right out. 'lNever againf, said Jonah, as he hooked a ride back to Norwalk.

We are all familiar with the story of General lvashington, Who, when his secretary explained his tardiness by saying that his watch was slow, remarked, uYou'll have to get another Watch or I shall have to get another secretary. This is none too strong. The young man or woman who can be depended upon to be on time and do what he agrees to do when he agrees to do it, is valuable. lf, to this asset, he adds technical skill, his place in the business World is assured. To make certain of the habit of punctuality, California College of Commerce requires all students to register the exact time of their going and coming by means of a time clock. To secure the technical skill demanded by business, we employ a strong faculty of thoroughly trained teachers and maintain strictly modern equipment and courses of study. Then our employment department places all graduates in positions where there is opportunity for advancement and these several facts account for the phenom- enal success this school has achieved.
