In Mrs, Margaret Kostlan do we see the epitome of directorshipg a clever puppeteer, creator, and manipulator of tiny figures all in one. She has been our faithful advisor for many years, but during' her leave of absence for the last semester of this year, Mrs. Thomas has taken her place.

'Persons or organizations are usually judged by the aims or the ideals which they have set for themselves. Qur motto, Onward and Upward, which is an attempt to express the aim of every true Excelsiorite, challenges the very best and finest in each of us. I wish to express my hearty con- gratulations to the students and to the various organizations for the very dehnite progress which I feel has been made this year towards attaining our ideal. RALPH F. BURNIGHT Principal. l page Seventeen BERNICE RANKIN Vice-Principal Sometimes in moments of reflection or in times of stress we feel that we are all puppets, pulled this way and that by strings of circumstance over which we have no control. Then as We think more deeply it comes to us that there is a difference. Unlike the puppet We act on a real stage, and We have the power to will which strings shall pull us. Never do conditions of life so rule us that we must play a puppet's part. It is the aim of Excelsior to so counsel and guide the students that they will be able to control their threads of destiny in such a manner that their lives will hold the utmost for them, and for the communities which make Excelsior possible. Bernice Rankin Friend-to teacher and student-holding the many thousand strings of our stage, Excelsior! Hers is the infinite capacity for seeking out and recognizing good qualities and ambitions. The student interest is her interest who is our Sanskrist, stage manager. Iustice, fairness and happiness are her ideals for the student. Page Eighteen MILTON M. LONGSHORE A good fellow, is what a prominent senior boy was heard to remark of Mr. Longshore. And that is what he has become to the students during his first year at Excelsior. Even little puppets sometimes go astray or disobey the laws of puppetry and so do the students on our stage. For that reason we have the student- body court. which is the branch of justice in student self government, with Mr. Longshore as advisor. The court is run in an orderly fashion and the puppets Htake their medicine like the men they will someday be. As Dean of Boys, he haslthe mutual respect and conlidence of every boy in school. His interest is primarily in the proper orientation of social life, combined with education for the individual. character. He has been most suc- cessful in' helping many Excelsiorites to attain this ideal. MARIE SUMPTION The first function of counseling, is to help the student in self-discovery of his own special interests, aptitudes, and abilities, according to the April Quarterly of Secondary Education. It is the interpretation of the strange outer world to the student through his own eyes. Miss Sumption is an outstanding member in this drama of ours. She is the character reader, granting us parts which we wish to enact. She is ever ready to guide those perplexed, or to suggest the choice of courses and activities that will give them the greatest possible present suc- cess, ancl make for their greatest future efficiency as independent, happy and useful members of society. The success of counseling is spelled in the word Hconfidencef' In her new olfice, Miss Sumption has proved her ability through obtaining the friendship and respect of the students. MILTON M.

Some are endowed with the power to move their hands. and feet, others shake their heads and shoulders, some run and caper about merrily, all dependent upon the number of strings used to sway and influence them. There are two prominent figures in this company, driven by a greater number of the strings of responsibility, who have capably played the part of student body presidents during the past year. They are Ernest Farnum and Claude Everley. Both of the boys were experienced along this line. Claude Everley, who served the first semester, was reelected from last year. Executive ability was also shown by Ernest Farnum as president of the Senior class. Ernest con- ducted his assemblies in a polished and well-poised manner with the help of Vera Hoke, Vice President: Sara Grace Frampton, Secretaryg Robert Mullins, Chief Iusticeg Ed Douglas, Sergeant-at-Arms: Dorothy Pinching, Song Leader: and Rayman De Remer, Yell Leader. Qfficer for the second semester were: Vera I-loke, Vice President: Sara Grace Frampton, Secre- tary: Ed Douglas, Sergeant-at-Arms: Rozella Rouch, Treasurer, Phyllis Cole, Song Leader, and Rayman De Remer, Yell Leader, with Vera Hoke Acting President quarter four. As a whole, the Student Body has shown a keen interest and en- thusiasm during the past year and due credit should be extended to these prominent marionettes and their assistants.

These places are so very desirable because they represent to the conununity all that is finest and idealistic in the class. Scholarship is the highest aim in school. Those seniors making fifteen recom- mended grades during their school years are given the worthy name of Honor Students. From these .are chosen the valedictorian and salutatorian. But scholarship is not the only factor in these selections. The Service of the stude.n'ts to the .school is also of great importance. Then. too, ranking equally with the rest, are the characters of the students themselves-their loyalty, good sportsmanship, high ideals, and the examples that they leave set for others to follow throughout their high school career. Frances Windes, as valedictorian, and Katherine O'dell, as salutatorian, excell in all of these requirements. They represent the best in scholastic Work, talent in activities, ability of self-expression, and individuality in ideas, They are well liked and admired by the rest of the school, and are exceptionally capable of represent- ing to the interested public, the Class of '31, .

He was capably assisted by Phil Carpenter, Vice Presi- derrtg Acting Presi-dent, quarter fourg Eva Warner, Secretaryg Maude Louise Brown, Sergeant- at-Armsg Phyllis Cole, Song Leader and Rayrnon De Remer, Yell Leader. This fine group of officers has been a beacon to the rest of the seniors. No puppet show can be coin- plete Without experienced pup- peteers to put out helping hands to guide the little figures. Throughout their entire pro- gram the senior puppets ha.ve followed Miss Baker's and Mrs. Kostlan's guidance. Then dur- ing the last act, in the ab- sence of Miss Baker the first semester and Mrs. Kostlan, the second, Miss Brown came to lend her skill .as a producer. And as the curtains open' for the last time, these little pup- pets come out upon the stage to bid their audience au revoir.

Page Thirty-eight , 'V 5 .1 Wm SENIOR B CLASS Three and one-half years ago the first mideyear class made its entrance on' the great wide stage of Excelsior, to display its talents and blaze a trail for the other mid-year classes to follow. It was exceptionally difficult for the actors in this miniature class to mal-ze their arias on the s-chool programme, already half complete-d, with players trained in their roles and settled in spirit, But they have succeeded in establishing a precedent for the mid-year classes which will follow. This ideal cast of tiny characters, composed of scholars appreciative of ine commercial and dramatic arts, sportsmen, orators, and enthusiastic sponsors of the school, has been applauded and immensely admired by it-s attentive audience-an audience which will long remember its initiative, originality, and good sportsmanship, This little cast chose an exceptionally fine boy to lead them: Arthur Bray- neld, President. Clever, too, were they in selecting Winiield Taylor, Vice President, Acting President, quarter fourg Edna Kelly, Secretaryg and Bobby Curtis, Treasurer, Reigning over all, ready to help them, guide them, and advise them, are their advisors, Mrs, Thomas and Miss Hughes. Under their guidance they have brought their act to a successful close. Nl V Page Thirty-nine lax N v l L ,T ri Q i.., 'xml V L- ,J Page Forty JUNIOR A S Officers: President Vice Secretary Mills.

Why is it that millions of American pigskin fans jam huge coliseums each season to see their favorite sport? To see the fire and spirit of the American youth- to see the young warriors fighting their hearts out to carry the colors of their alma mater to victory-to get away from a stuffy office and enjoy an afternoon of recreation-that is the story from the fans' point of View. But what of the player? What enjoyment, what reward is there for him? Perhaps he may not realize it at the time. but he is building for him- self a strong physique-a physique which will stave off illness and form the basis for his future lhealth. He is learning how to be a square loser-how to meet the many set backs handed one in the great world. l-le is finding out that a certain amount of recreation a day will keep the doctor away. All in all, he is being taught the fundamentals of good American citizenship. Football af' Excelsior is no different from the pigskin sport at the best of colleges. Our three grid mentors: Ashton, Langdon and Haley, drill their men not only in football, but also in the fundamentals mentioned above. To express our appreciation for their untiring efforts would be next to im- possible. All we can say is-long may they carry onl page Forty-eight Scene I THE SCRIMMAGERS e Coach Ashton n MBV Captain Bingham VARSITY FOO TBALL o e i Page Forty-nine V l Page Fifty cl Page Fifty F UUT BALL VARSITY i Speedwpower-teainwork-eand capable reserves gave Coach Ashton's varsity third place in the final league standings. It has beer: the first time in four years that an Excelsior varsity has finished the Orange League season with a percentage of over five hundred! The Pilots opened the season at Tustin but were held to a scoreless tie. A slight drizzle marred the game-causing many fumbles-although the Pil0tS should have scored at least on-ce, Time and time again' they drove far into the Farmers' territory only to be held for downs or penalized. ' The Pilots held the league champions from Orange to a scoreless tie during the first half, but the Panthers came back strong and swamped the tired Excelsior men i8-0. The varsity downed t.he Brea-Olinda Wildcats 7-0 for their first Win. Huntington Beach's passing attack was too strong for the Pilots and as a result they were repulsed 19-7. Even though Captain Bingham was on the sidelines with a severe cold, the Pilots easily trounced Garden Grove 19-6. The local gridders upset the dopesters and climaxed a highly successful season by downing the Anaheim Colonists 24-O. Thus, three wins, two -defeats and a tie gave Coach Ashton's gridders an average of six hundred percent and third place in the league standings. Nineteen men won the coveted E for varsity football this year. They were: Captain Bingham and John Ravera, fullbacksg Roman, Miyakawa and Champlain, halfbacksg Mills, Russell, Mack and Funder, ends: Louie Ravera, Sperry, Prettyman, La Form and Douglas, tacklesg Ingram, Haskell, and Farnum, guar-ds: Williams, quarterback ,and Chalmers, center. To Coach Robert Ashton, who served his first year as varsity mentor, goes all the credit for his team's showing, His call for grid aspirants was answered by the Largest group in some time-and he kept them out! BEES ' It takes a combination of quality and quantity to make a good football team- Coach Langdon had quality in his first eleven, but lacked capable reserves. He started and finished the season with a squad of twenty-one men-the leanest B turnout in several years. Coach Langdon's men did themselves proud, however, by finishing the season in third place with a six hundred percent averagee-the same as the Varsity, The Pilot middleweights easily trounced Tustin, Brea-Olinda and Garden Grove, battled to a scoreless tie with Orange and lost to Anaheim and Huntington Beach. Coach Langdon's starting lineup usually found the Borden Twins at ends: Whit- tington and Harrell, tackles, Geiser and Fisher, guardsg Brayfield, center: Wells, quarterbackg Raphael, fullback: Haney and Brooks, halfbacks. CEES The Pilot Cees had a tough season from the start, The first bad break came when the lightweights lost seven of their largest men through the exponent route. Coach Haley's men lost to Tustin 14-7 in the league opener, but came back next week and walloped the Orange Panther Cees 14-7. Then another tough break swooped upon the lightweights in the Brea game. The Pilots lost the services of their crack end. when Phil Carpenter suffered a fractured collar bone in the iirst quarter, and on top of it all the Wildcats scored a touchdown in' the last ruinutg of play to cop the game 21-16. The Cees then tied with Huntington Beach and Garden Grove and lost their final game of the season to the Anaheim Colonist Cees. Chalmers, Captain Garfield, Okamura, Fujimoto and Steinman were the leading backfield men, while Harrell, Parsonson, Keithly, Hoke, Carpenter, Davis, Salter and Stone were the inainstays of the line. Although the Cees were far .away from the championship, Coach Haley and his assistant, Ben Hathcock, may well be proud of the fact that they taught pigskin fundamentals to future varsity stars.

I Page Fifty-three Varsity Basketball A tie for second place in the final league standings was the reward for Captain Burrell Harrell and his mates at the end of a grueling season, Like football, there was a decided increase in ir1-terest in basketball this year. The Pilots lost only two of their eight games and finished with a percentage of seven hundred and fifty. Joe Roman, sharp-shooting forward, amassed a total of seventy-six points for seven lea.gue tilts-nearly eleven points per game! Captain Harrell, competing in all eight games, took second place honors with seventy-five points. Coach Lang-don's men opened the season against the league champion Tustin Farmers. With Roman on the sidelines, scholastically ineligible, the Pilots were at a great disadvantage. They fought their hearts out during the first half, however, and walked off the door with a deadlocked score 7-7. The Farmers' sharp-shooting reserves were too strong for the Pilots and they amassed a total of twenty points to finish the game on top 27-S. With Roman back in the lineup, the Pilots were determined to win their first league game at the hands of the Orange Panthers, and they made good their wish. The game, played on the Panther court, saw Harrell and Roman run wild--sink the casaba from all angleshscoring sixteen and twelve points respectively. The Huntington Beach Oilers were the .next to fall before the onslaught of the Pilots. Captain Harrell and Roman again demonstrated their sharp-shooting ability -making eleven and ten digits respectively this time, . Newport Harbor was just another victim for the Pilots. Roman gave his scoring average a big boost in this game when he hit the hoop for twenty points. The -dope bucket was given a big upset in the Brea-Olinda game, The game, which figured to be close, was won by the Pilots 46510. Lawrence Funlder, lanky Green and White center, took high point honors of the tilt with ten digits. Overconfidence and failure to make their shots count, cost Coach Lan-gdon's men the Anaheim game. The .affair was nip and tuck throughout with the Colonists winning 26-25. Garden Grove proved an easy hurdle for the locals and they closed the season at San Juan' Capistrano--defeating the Padres 34 to 27. Captain Burrell Harrell, Joe Roman, Dedgei' La Form, Lawrence Funder, Ray Luttrell, Archie Mills, Gene Miyakawa and Paul Parker are the letter winners. Harrell and Roman would be a valuable scoring combination to any team, Wedge La Form had the opposition on the floor most of the time-by clearr playing only. Gene and Paul were always valuable defensive assets. Lawrence Funder, six feet two inch center, nearly always controlled the tip off. Ray Luttrell, his substitute, also came in for his share in the scoring. Archie Mills, the seventh letterman, took scarlet fever after the Orange game and was laid up for the season. During the two games in which he figured, he constantly got the rebound-and had it not been for Gene, who capably filled his place, the team's chances would have been hit a great deal harder. Coach Langdon, to whom immeasurable credit for the team's success is due should guide his men up in the league standings again next year since .311 but Funder are returning to the fold, Page Fifty-four Scene II THE PASSERS Page Fifty-1? r Tustin ............,......

The locals won ahiandsome silver trophy in the Garden Grove three day tourney held December 11, 12 and 13. To attain the coveted award, the Pilots met and defeated Anaheim, Tustin and Brea-Olinda on successive nights, and as a result of their victories they were given an excellent chance to take the league title. ' The league opener 'found the middleweights facing the Tustin Farmer Bees. The game was closely contested and was won in the last forty seconds of play when the Farmer center sank the winning basket to cinch the game 20 to 18. Undaunted by their loss to the Farmers, the Pilots went on to trounce Orange 37-27, down Newport Harbor 28-10, wallop Huntington Beach, and lose a heart- breaking 1S to 15 battle to Brea-Olinda. E Coach Langdon, seeing the chance for a B championship was lost, switched his first string middleweights to the varsity which had lost only one game to Tustin. Anaheim was next on the Pilots' schedule. Coach Langdon used his second string men in this game land the Colonist first stringers ran rough shod over the Pilots to score a 42 to 13 victory. The lowest score in any contest was registered in the Garden Grove game. The Pilot second stringerls played the first half and were only able to score one point while the Grove men were only able to register two! Coach Langdon then sent in his Hrst string and they finished the game on top-12 to 9. Haney and Essert, forwards, Hurley, center and De Remer and Captain Bnay- field, guards, comprised the usual starting lineup. The boys .and Coach Langdon' deserve a great deal of credit for their fine show ing-even though the lineup was juggled several times. Page Fifty-eight V n CLASS C BASKETBALL Top Row-Mgr, H.

El Monte, Citrus, Montebello, Downey, Puente and Excelsior now in- clude the Valley circuit. Competition is not so stiff in the new league and the student bodies are nearly all the same size-giving each school a fair chance as far as quantity of athletic material is concerned. Green and White warriors left impressions of clean play and good sportsmanship with their Orange League foes-may they continue to do so in the new circuit! CLASS B TRACK San Gabriel Valley League Track Champions-that is the title earned by Coach Langdon's middleweight cinderpathmen on Friday afternoon, March 27 on the El Monte oval. The Pilots took eight first places out of a possible twelve-they were not satisfied with that: however, so they broke league records in six of the eight! Mashiota Ota, local speed merchant, smashed two of the old standards when he ran the century in 10.4 seconds and the furlong in 23.8 seconds. Al Whittington, hurdles and 660 man, also contributed two new records -running the high sticks in 10.3 seconds and the 660 in 1 minute 30.8 seconds. Carlos Evans, with a heave of 41 feet 32 inches in the shot put, and Vincent Goodwin, who led the field home in the 1320 with a time of 3 min. 36.2 seconds, broke the fifth and sixth league records respectively. Evans, with a blue ribbon in the discus and Cleatis McCoy, with a first in the high jump, completed Excelsior's first place gathering. The feature race of the day as far as Excelsior was concerned was the one hundred yard dash. Every Excelsior man in the race won a place- Gta, first: Arnold, secondg and Kanemitsu, fourth. Kirkpatrick and Van Eck, are the oth I h the Green and White. er men w o garnered points for To Coach Langdon again goes high tribute for his tearn's splendid showing.

The first race on the program was the 120 yard high hurdles. Lute Bingham was the lone Excelsior entrant. He finished third-but was clisf qualified for knocking down over two barriers. Later Bingham came back to run the 220 yard low sticks-finishing up among the leaders again-but he again knocked down three hurdles and again was disqualified. Bad day? George La Form and Ed Douglas, Pilot Weight men, failed to cinch a place. La Form took second in both the shot and discus at the Orange League meet last year, while Douglas took third in the shot. Yet, both failed to place in the Valley finals. Bad day? Captain Slocum broke the jinx when he took second and third in the 100 and 220 yard dashes respectively. Kelly and Champlain' each added three digits to the Pilots' total by taking seconds in the 440 and mile respectively. Harrell also added a point to the Pilots' total with a tie for third in the high jump. The relay quartet, composed of Captain Slocum, Sherwood, Bingham and Kelly, completed the Excelsior scoring with a second place in their event. Coach Ashton was provided with mighty slim material for his track squad this season but he gave all the attention and help he could spare to his men and did the best that the best of track coaches could do with such a lack of men.

Of the above men, half of them had earned tennis letters in past years. Raphael, Luttrell and Steinman, all took an important place in last y-ear's championship lineup. Essert, Heaman, and Stevens, were high runners-up in last year's pre-season eliminations, and so were experience tested for the 1931 team. Gieselman, a promis- ing sophomore, was an able substitute, playing both doubles and singles Well. Besides one practice match with Anaheim, the boys played El Monte, Puente, Downey, Montebello, and Citrus. Of these matches, Excelsior lost but one-to El Monte. This defeat put Excelsior in second place. However, this loss was excusable, since El Monte has been the league champ for ten straight years, and takes its tennis very seriously. Before the season opened, Excelsior had high hopes of becoming Valley League champions. It was felt that we had a good chance since the majority of the team was composed of players from the Orange League championship team of last year. These hopes were considerably dampened in the first match, however, when the El Monte team won every encounter that day. During the rest of the season, the Excelsior boys displayed excellent form and allowed no other schools to defeat them, ending up in second place, since El Monte lost no matches. Tennis, though not a major sport, is fully as helpful and beneficial in keeping a person physically fit and mentally alert, as any of the more popular sporting even-tg, This is a fact attested to by the physical and mental ability of Excelsjgfg tennis players. Let's make tennis a more popular sport, turn out and support Coach Lang- don and his next year's team! CAll of this year's team will return' except Raphael and Heaman, so we shall be sure to see excellent matchesl. Page Sixtyffour l VARSITY BASEBALL With a well stocked reserve bench, the Excelsior nine started out the season auspiciously when they ran through their six pre-season practice games, losing but two of the six. The losing games were won by Santa Barbara during spring vacation 5-1, and to Covina in the opening game, 12-6. Several of the team members were unable to come to the game, which no doubt accounts for the Excelsior defeat. The other pre-season games were played with Whittier, who was defeated 6-Og Fullerton, who lost 5-1, two games with Monrovia in both of which Excelsior triumphed to the tunes of 5-0, 5-1. In their last non-league game with the Anaheim Colonist nine, the Excelsior boys accelerated their winning stride to win 6-1. Contributing largely to Excelsior's victories was Captain Claude Everly, star chucker, who was occasionally relieved by Carol Packard. Burrell Har- rell was probably the most valuable man on the team, playing shortstop or catcher, well, besides being a heavy hitter. Maynard Williams, catcher, proved himself an excellent judge of batters and base runners. Regular infielders: Mack, Ravera, Harrell and McEwen were heavily supported by Roman, De Remer, Haney and Ravera. ln the outfield Mack, Packard and Bingham proved themselves worthy of fame through their errorless playing and excellent batting averages. With Ballew and Cook as reserves in the outfield, and more than ade- quate support in the battery and infield, the Pilots' hopes for a champion- ship looked rosy indeed.

Cast of characters: Captain Phyllis Cole and Evelyn Hocker, forwards: Alverne Bingham and Barbara Gilbert, centers: Maude Louise Brown and Edith Salter, guards. The curtain rose with a flourish on the first season of the girls' athletic year, revealing the stage set for some peppy basketball playing. From the minute the ball was snapped up in the center at the first of the game. until the whistle blew for the end of the season, good teamwork and fine sportsmanship marked the games. - It took a lot of headwork and speed to defeat Citrus and Montebello, but with Miss Payne as Chief puppeteer, and Phyllis Cole as star puppet, our first team came through with a fine record, winning every game it played. With Citrus and Montebello in the race this was not an easy task. Excelsior may well be proud of its casaba tossing, speedy team. Page Sixty-eight Miss Payne, our athletic coach, has expressed much regret at losing four re- markable players via the diploma route. Although she is certain there will be others to take their place, each year she experiences much sorrow as the senior girls whom she has grown to love leave Excelsior. Phyllis Cole- Fizz , was captain of the squad. Her accurate eye and leader- ship kept the loss column clean-the First Basketball squad has not lost a game for the past four years. She has played four years of basketball for Miss Payne. Evelyn Hooker- Red , was Fizz's running mate. When points were lacking, she could be counted on to put the Pilots back in the running. She is but a sopho- more and should prove a valuable asset to Coach Payne during the two years she has left. Barbara Gilbert- Bob , held down the jumping center position. Height gave her a great advantage' over her opponents in this position and enabled her to get constant control of the tip off. She, along with Phyllis, Maude and Susie Will be lost to the Green and White via the diploma route. Alverne Bingham- Bang'em , looms as the gi1'l to supplant Susie as the Hgirls' all-around athlete next year, She played running center this season and did a real job of it. Edith Salter- Susie is the real Ugirls' all-around athlete! In order to be the outstanding sports woman she competed in: basketball, hockey, track, tennis and baseball. She played all exceedingly well and will be a real loss to girls' athletics. Maude Louise Brown- Maudie , has served for two years on our Excelsior hoop team. She will also answer the diploma call this year. Correction: Because of an error,'the names on the sub-divisional page, 61, were incorrectly given. The small cut is of Coach Ashton and Captain Everley. Page Sixty-nine I1 dl... GIRLS' SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL Jean McDonald CCr1pt.Jg H. Williams, L. Raine, H, Gardener, M, Parker, M Raine, E.

The curtain sweeps noiselessly back to reveal a darkened stage about which a spotlight is roving--to rest finally on the tennis courts Where a tournament is to be played. Whirring tennis balls twanging across the net? Enthusiastic puppets shouting and dancing about the court to the tune of flying racketsl The throbbing melody of the theme song of sportsmanship and good spirits is hard and the tournament starts with a bang! Our girls opened the season badly, being utterly demolished by El Monte. ln the second tournament with Puente, Dorothy Pinching and Berna- dine Herbst, second doubles, Won the only match-the rest being sadly de- feated. At the time this book went to press, the tournaments with El Monte and Puente were the only ones' played. Later, the following schools were played: Downey, Citrus and Montebello. ' All through the tennis season the same sort of friendliness and good sportsmanship obtained. Excelsior is proud of her girls for having shown such good spirit Whether they were conquerors or conquered. Page Seventy-one GIRLS' FIRST TEAM HOCKEY Time: Hockey season. Place: Cn turf. Cast of characters: Captain Iayne Parrish, Dorothy Nelson, Edith Salter, Nadine Iones, Lyndall Karns, Dorothy McCain, Eva Warner, Lavell Hill, Maude Brown. Substitutes: Barbara Browning, Margaret Parker. Director: Miss Payne. The spotlight reveals gay figures carrying long bent sticks, laughing and running on a carpet of green turf. A very prominent figure blows a shrill whistle and the rollicking stops. Some advice is given to a foul maker, the whistle is blown and play is again resumed. ln the midst of the group, ever alert for a misplay and appearing wherever she is needed, is Miss Payne, girls' athletic coach. Miss Payne has acted as physical education advisor at Excelsior for many years and at the present time teaches an evening gym class for adults. She, herself, is a splen- did example of the sportsmanship and physical fitness which stand as ideals to the girls of Excelsior. Page Seventy-two :L FS if A Q J - Page Seventy-three 1' GIRLS' SECOND TEAM HOCKEY The spotlight continues to illuminate the stage with dazzling brilliance. but the forms are not the same. Through imaginary illusions, the Second hockey team is now on the stage. ' Here comes that captain, lean McDonald, talking to our beloved coach, Miss Payne, who seems to be giving some good advice on the art of bullying, Hockey as a whole is very beneficial. The modern girl has ceased being a frail person of the past generation. She is now an individual of strong, robust build. ' We think ol the game, hockey, as being a hard and rough sport and the girls should not be allowed to participate. But if we stopped to analyze it, we would find a foundation for good, clean sportsmanship, the teaching of responsibility when it is necessary and the fostering of school pride and loyalty-just as these are developed among the boys who play football. At last the curtain closes. The players are laying aside the hockey sticks and are taking in their place baseball bats-the final sport of the spring season. . - Page Seventy-four A. n.' 'Mtg W GIRLS' FIRST TEAM BASEBALL April 29 Coach Payne and her undefeatable indoor baseball squad thoroughly squelched the Citrus girls to the tune of 7 to 2 on the Citrus diamond. The Pilot squad hasn't been defeated in the last five years and they ex- pect to continue to keep up their good record throughout the coming years. Cn May 2, the Excelsior girls were hosts to the Downey and Citrus teams on the home Held. t The play day consisted of indoor games and tennis matches of which the Pilots' squads won in every instance. ' Captain Vena Thomas led her squad through the season without a single defeat. The girls making up the squad are: Vena Thomas, fCapt.l pitcherg Iessie Thomas, catcher: Alverne Bingham, first baseg Isabelle McCain, sec- ond baseg Edith Salter, third basez Myrtle Raine, left shortg Nadine Iones, right short: Lyndall Karns, left Held: Elsie Simmons, center Held: Margaret Parker, right field. g Page Seventy-five T UI.. . sm.. CIRLS' SECOND TEAM BASEBALL lndoor baseball continues to hold the spotlight, The diamond sport is highly popular among both boys and girls at Excelsior and with such an ex- cellent coaching staff, we are able to turn out many winning teams. A new squad was inaugurated at Excelsior this year-the Second Girls' Indoor Baseball Team. This squad, along with the Girls' First Indoor Team and Boys' Varsity Baseball, climaxes the Excelsior athletic season. Led by Captain Phyllis Cole in the catcher's position, the second string- ers appear headed for a very successful season. The complete lineup was as follows: Phyllis Cole, fcapt.j catcherg Ruth Barbara, pitcher, Maude Brown, first base: Iayne Parrish, second base: Edna Byers, third baseg Dorothy Nelson, left shortstop: lda Pabst, right shortstop: Charlotte Craggs, left field: Helen Taylor, center field: Louise Raine, right field. Now, on to other activities-which, because of continued interest and participation of students have made Excelsior what she is, and have helped to make the Excelsior spirit- Onward and Upward -prevail throughout our drama.

History: Les Marionettes was formed by the Senior Dramatic class in Norwalk in the old high school. Mrs, Thomas was its first head, Except for one yea.r-1927- when Miss Garstang had charge, Mrs. Thomas has been the advisor. The object of the Les Marionettes was to bring the community the very best in Drama. Two three-act plays were given during each first semester for three years. Since the school was moved to the present site other organizations have offered programs. Les Marionettes, however, are responsible for most of the programs, in- cluding the free community Christmas Program which has now become traditional. This does not mean that the other organizations are not represented. Officers: President-Eva.

Marynette Willems and Frances Windes did exceedingly well in the roles of the woodcutter's children, Eva Andreoli also proved herself a good actress in the double parts of the Fairy Berylune ,and the Neighbor Berlingot. Ernest Farnum as Tylo, the dog, had furious quarrels with Lawrence Funvder as Tylette, the cat and Sugar-'s tVerne McCauley's3 fingers were quite amusing. The audience, thrilled as children, watched the antics of Bread, Fire, Water and Milk, all 'characterized successfully by Bob Ingram, Robert Mullins, Margaret Hamel and Mary Ellen Carpenter. The Girls' Sextette and various physical education classes who offered appropriate dances, should also be mentioned. One left the auditorium feeling not that one had watched Frances Windes and Marynette Willems maneuvering on the stage but that he himself had experienced something wonderful and infinitely beautiful. There was the feeling one experiences after hearing a symphony orchestra. So The Blue Bird remains, as all truly inspiring things, enexplicable-impossible of discussion. The simple sentiment of one of Light's fDorothy Nelsonfsb lines ex- presses the theme of the production: I have only my brightness, which Man does not understand. But I watch over him to the end of his days. Never forget that I am speaking to you in every spreading moonbeam, in every twinkling star, in every dawn that rises, in every lamp that is lit, in every good and bright thought in your soul. Page Ninety-five ,xl TI-IE BLACK FLAMINGO A versatile play-A'The Black Flamingo -presented by the Class of '31 in our auditorium, March 27 at 8:15 P.M.. Versatile?-Yes-Mystery!- fThe fire-place! Phantom Hands! That screeching violin!! Romance-QTri- gaud and Diana: Popo and Clotildel. Tragedy-fa vicious mob torturing and killing the aristocrats!- Down with the Aristocrat! Blood! We want the blood of our oppressors! Comedy-lPopol. Versatile?-Yes-Versatile actors. Members of the cast are outstanding in the fields of Scholarship, Oratory, Student Body Government, Public Speaking, Class Government, Athletics, Science, Iournalism and Dramatics. Versatile?-Yes-The director, Mrs. Thomas, the Faculty and Student Production staffs, all helped to create the exotic atmosphere by their cheer- ful cooperation. The French National prison- The Bastilef' had been besieged by a bloodthirsty mob. The Aristocrats were to be downed by the oppressed peasants! Blood! Red Blood! Human Blood!-filled the Paris streets! The French Revolution was on!-This is the background for Ianney's The Bl-ack Flamingo. The scene of the play is in a deserted inn-the night is wild and stormy! To this desolate dwelling come the aristocrats- fleeing for their lives, also, those who seek a diamond necklace stolen from the Queen-Marie An- toinette-and then, those thirsty for-blood! - Ernest Farnum was a typical Felipe Bodierf' the Innkeeper. Ah! but this poor fellow had two purposes-to make money as an innkeeper and to steal the jewels and gold of his guests. The coming of the aristocrats to his abode offered a good ch-ance! Nicole, his wife fcapably portrayed by Eva Page Ninetyfsix fi' WAX 515 T w , ,gg , :iw , .i F 3 TE in A1253 aka' Q, li H 3: sf 1 Andreolil, was a gruff, hard-boiled, middle-aged lady ready to aid and abet her kind husband, xwhile Bourien-Robert Mullins-was in the game for the same purpose as Bodier's. Art Brayfield, as Triguad-a traveling fiddler, and the hero of the pro- duction, furnished many dramatic scenes - with Diana-Vera Hoke-the leading lady. One would have thought Clare Smith to be ma real French count! Ah!- such a dignified air! Eleanor Arnold, as Charlotte, Diana's sister, and daughter of Count De Lusac, also portrayed her part well-a lovely, white wigged lady from a Royal French family. Leonard Butler, as Popo, used his physical abilities Cheight six feet fourj to a great advantage-furnishing plenty of comedy to mix with the mystery. Lawrence Funder ought to go into the Uhypnotizing business. He, as Count Cagliostro, Qin disguise for part of the playl, furnished many a tense moment with his strange powers, and staring, compelling gaze. Phil Carpenter, as Francois De Lusac-son of Count De Lusac and an oificer in the regimentg Rayman De Remer, as Gavroche-a bloodthirsty citi- zen: Verne McCauley, as Bossange, the old man who plays the mysterious fiddle and has the Queen's necklaceg and a mob of wild maniacs consisting of: Clarence Lewis, Stuart Brooks, Bertram Sproul, Herschel Chalmers, Luther Bingham, Lyle Twining and Iohn Plender, completed the cast. Page Ninety-seven y , JUNIUR PLAY Have you ever seen the audience at a puppet show? Have you noticed the tense suppressed excitement, the wide-eyed wonder of children, the spell of anticipation? It was in this atomsphere that everyone awaited the rising of the curtain for Stop Thief, Iunior Class play. As exciting as the title, as surprising as your first Punch and Indy and as well enacted as would be expected of the '32 class are fitting phrases to describe the production. The play is based upon the incidents of a few hours and everything becomes complicated by the disappearance of a ruby ring, followed by the rest of the wedding presents. Cnce things start to vanish, it seems impossible to stop them and when they begin to appear again in the strangest places-for instance in the groom's pocket-affairs are even more puzzling. , lf, was hard to visualize the shaky, absent-minded old man behind the footlights as Richard Baker, and Barbara White never slacked once in the extremely difficult part of a deaf and very excitable old person. Having completely persuaded himself that he was a kleptomaniac, Ben Hathcock, the groom, caused no end of consternation. Eleanore Bridge made a lovely bride who won a sympathetic audience immediately. The part of a sly little maid was also well portrayed by Ierrie Douglas, while Stanford Essert did equally good acting as her colleague., g I Miss Roach may be commended for the splendid result of her coach- ing, and Lenore Terrell should also be mentioned for her behind scenes action in the play.

PINAFORE With a salt tang in the atmosphere, and with a flapping of sails, Her Majesty's Ship, Pinafore, sailed majestically into the harbor of Excelsior Union High School and docked there on the evening of Friday, May 8th, The entire student body also received an invitation to attend the ball held in honor of the engagement of Iosephine, the gallant captains daughter and the Honorable Sir joseph Porter, K. C. B. Other guests were sweet little Butter- cup, the sailors, and Sir Iosephs sisters and his cousins and his aunts-who followed him everywhere until Hebe insisted on severing the bond! Sir loseph Porter, tStanford Essertb had a nose which turned up at exactly the right angle. Mary Ellen Carpenter sang her way beautifully through the part of Iosephine. A cynical old sailor, Dick Dead-eye, was al- so well portrayed by Hans Rueckheim. Frances Windes made an adorable Buttercup and brought the plot to a surprising close when she revealed quite an unexpected turn of affairs. Young Ralph Rackstraw, portrayed by Iohn Uhlnian, sang plaintively sad songs of love to his sweetheart, losephine, and provided a tremendous surprise at the last when he suddnly came into possession of the ship in place of the gallant captain, our own Mortimer Haskell. Such a softly senti- mental old fellow he was, too-the captain-had it not been that he had won Buttercup in the mix-up, we should have felt sad for him indeed! Page One Hundred This is said to be one of the finest operettas ever presented at Excel- sior. The costumes were rented from Long Beach and Hollywood and proved to be quite elaborate. The cast composed of the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, filled the stage, and the chorus of 80 voices was very impressive. Pinafore is a Gilbert-Sullivan production and has been shown in a great number of high schools and colleges. LEADING CHARACTERS IN H. M. S. PINAFORE The Rt. Hon. SIR IOSEPH PORTER, K. C. B.

By 1926 it was made an international contest. The subjects after this change were varied because of the foreign contestants. The different national viewpoints and ideals find expression at the international final contest held in October each year at Washington, D. C. Here the speaker uses his native tongue and is judged by multi-linguists. The orations must not exceed six minutes in length, must be original, and are followed by an extem- poraneous speech to take not more than four minutes. We are very proud to have had the honor this year of holding the first district contest here at Excelsior in which Tom Moses of Garden Grove won first place and Arthur Brayfield of Excelsior, second place. The following is Art's prize-winning oration: THE CONSTITUTION-A BEACON TO THE IMMIGRANT Our United States is a nation founded by exiles who were fleeing to the shores of a new land to escape oppression and the unrestrained power of autocratic lords-exiles who. visioned the establishment of a nation- exiles with willing hands and willing hearts to build it-a nation where the citizen should rule and not the soldier, where the home and the school and not the castle should be the stronghold. Croly defines an American as a man or descendant of a man, who has emigrated from another country because he expects to be more able in the new world to enjoy the fruits of his own labors. Since the immortal voyage of the Nlayflower, the United States has been building upon the principles of freedom and self-government which were first brought to this country by those hardy pilgrims who were emi- grating to escape the hands of power. Inasmuch as these, our forefathers, who were in a sense immigrants, laid the solid foundation on which our sacred Constitution is builded, it is fitting that the Constitution makers open Lhe giates of America's liberty to all desirables of foreign birth who may noc . The Constitution builders, themselves of foreign descent, realized that the immigrant was an important factor in the early development of our country. Therefore in Sec. 8 of the Constitution, they enabled him to ob- tain all the rights and privileges of American citizenship. in truth they knew whereof they built for through the years the Constitution has brightened the path of the alien as he struggled toward political independence, a type of independence which was unknown until our document of human liberty cast its light into the darkness of the old world. Page One Hundred Four America is today the promised land. From Ireland, torn by political dis- sension, from communistic Russia, from war-ridden Germany, from ancient Italy, from the weary countries of the Balkans, from all the world, these strangers come-seeking here economic betterment and political advance- ment. As the alien sets foot upon our land, he is beset by doubts, but he finds the Constitution giving him the assurance that he has wisely chosen the land of his adoption. Naturalization, as provided for in the Constitution, enables the former alien to possess an integral share in the government of a nation which was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. A naturalized citizen enjoys all of the freedom and incurs all of the duties of a natural born citizen. He is accorded an interest in the execution of the laws of the land. He becomes a proud sharer of the Bill. of Rights, the amendments which guarantee freedom of speech, press, religion and other inviolable privileges of the American people. The very nature of our government tends to destroy all differences of nationality. The fundamental idea of the Constitution is to extend certain political privileges, held by both naturalized and natural born citizens which it is the duty of the government to protect. This principle draws the immi- grant to the bosom of our country and helps to mold him into a true citizen, In his poem, America , Bayard Taylor exalts our nation as the cru- cible in which the foreign devotees of American ideals are fused into one mighty nation. He wrote: A'To one strong race, all races here unite: Tongues melt in hers, heriditary foemen Forget their sword and slogan, kith and kin 'Twas glory once to be a Romang She makes it glory now to be a man. Gur Constitution offers new life to millions of weary travelers. Such noted immigrants as Edward Bok, Iacob Reis, and Edward Steiner, have grasped the opportunities which it extends to the foreigner. By its strength they were freed of countless terrors which their fathers deemed inescapable and which were anchoring them to obscurity in their native land. With the Constitution of the United States beckoning to them, they set out, secure in the knowledge that our Union would rescue them from oblivion. Today we acknowledge the worth of their contributions to American progress. As the statue of Liberty holds forth its torch of truth, freedom and security to the onward bound immigrant, so our Constitution stands as a beacon to the alien-a beacon which sends out as its rays, the principles of democracy. justice, union, co-operation and liberty.

On first thought it seems rather crude even to dare to com- pare these senseless hulks of wood to a breathing human being. lt is diffi- cult to visualize any connection between such ridiculous misshapen figures, moving in idiotic mockery, to the exalted figure of man, Yet truth is as hard as the characterless gloss of a puppet's face, people are swayed by cir- cumstances and act as if moved by invisible chords. Call it inspiration, call it destiny, call it God, call it what you will, it remains an indisputable fact that were the string cut, were the support taken away, all would fall with a hollow clatter, typical of a thing of wood. An annual is a book of memories, not of editorials, yet it certainly would not be a misstep for every individual, the humblest or most self as- sured, though hampered with a common insufferable conceit of egotistical resources, to realize that there is a higher power to lean upon, a string to which to cling. --Margery Bishop, '32 Page One Hundred Six 2 A :,,1, . 1 v I r 4 1 ' .-xr V T , I , , .

Now they are portraying parts in the great mystery drama of Life, The play centers around Citizenship, Leadership, High Ideals and Success. Excelsior Union High School is proud to know that in the casting of their greater roles, she, as an original director, played a small part in their present success. Always she watches each of these players with friendly interest, re- joicing in each new fame and her sympathy and hopes are with them when the critics are many and harsh. ' One of Excelsior's greatest hopes is that many children of her Alumni will be proud to be students in the Alma Mater of their parents. The Alumni Association, with Clifton Russell, Presidentg Marjorie Shultz, Vice President: and Laura Patterson, Secretary, is the largest organ- ization connected with Excelsior. Each year it sponsors the annual Senior- Alumni Prom-at which the Seniors are guests of honor and are welcomed into the Alumni Association. , And thus, the strange cycle of the play goes on. The 'players change, each one plays many parts-until the curtain falls, at last, upon their chosen roles. Yet always there is promise in the unending play! l l A l l Page One Hundred Eight if-bw :Wifi K W1 Q' 'c F My - 'L . yn, W 4. Y-,,lm'NJ,. 1 'inf-f?

They know the mystery Of growing grass, of moving waves. They know the place Where breezes come from- And why flowers fade To bloom again beneath a later sun. Childish questions.

With that we take up our cue and go to the road Where there awaits us the riddle to lifes code. For some ol' us it means Happiness and Success. And for others it may mean less. Then we find our string is taut, And we are in the midst of what lite has wrought. VV1'on1 then on we tintl our string is weakening. Until at last it parts and we go to our reckoning.

And our photographer, Mr. Iarrett, of Fullerton, showed us what an art photography can be. Especially do we wish to thank him for his patience with squirming, exasperating, high school humanity. ln our own school organization, we find we cannot omit mention of the Administration, to whom we are grateful for their continued approval and kindly criticism: the Office Training Class under Miss Cox, who did a great deal of our typing and mimeograph work: and Mrs. Wanley and the Art Department, who made all of the drawings and blocks seen throughout the book, thus appreciably raising the artistic level on the Green and White. To all these and to many more individuals who have had a kindly interest in our undertaking do we wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation Qi 0 0 Q and thanks. W Q LA A0 MPM! cf? . .
