MOORE Principal Foreword DITORS of annuals are always asking for something differ- ent , so the writer of the fore-word has this year ventured into verse, and dedicates the verses to the class of Summer '21, worthy sons and daughters of Franklin, and exponents of the Franklin spirit. ,l f 12,4 . ew, V , , g 9.zw.1f ,xl H, Ap, 4' JUST FRANKLIN Yon stately columns and gleaming walls, Rising mid terrace and shrubbery green, NVhich morning greets with gladsonie call And high-noon bathes in glittering sheen, XVhich evening clothes with garments spun From the last red rays of the setting sun, VVhile sheltering hills, friendly, nigh, Through Songbirdls note and Night-winds sigh Seem to say- In quiet rest till dawn.

She is chang- ing from a small school to a large one. From the start she has grown steadily, but never so rapidly nor in such proportions as at the present time, and never has the enlargement extended to so many departments. Of course. the new gymnasium is the most conspicuous proof of this development, but closely following are other irrefutable proofs, the new equipment in the Agriculture and Gymnasium departments, the increased number of students, the new members on the faculty, the new athletic field, the higher average our teams have brought home, and the en- larged Annual. The growth of Franklin may be approximated by the Almanacs alone, for each year the book is larger, each year it gives evidence of the increase in school activities and the progress in every department. With the well-known Franklin spirit we have endeavored to make this Annual better than any before it,fjust as Franklin always strives to profit by her former mistakes and attempts to bring each undertaking closer to perfection than the last. ' We have tried to show you, dear reader, the unquenchable, joyous spirit of the Franklinite along with the serious, level-headed, sportsmanlike deter- mination to play the game through, whatever it may be. We have attempted to show the gay, social side of the school life as well as the athletic activities. In short, we have tried to record the activities of all the departments and societies of Franklin. It is with a great deal of gratitude that we wish to thank the members of the faculty for the help they have given the staff in the publication of this Annual, for, without them, it would not be what it is. ' Each member of the staff has been of invaluable aid in the compilation of the Almanac. We would like to give a special write-up for each one, but space permits only personal mention as follows: Nevin Packard, Editor-in-Chief, Le Roy Hitchcock, Associate Editor, James Blohm, Business Mariager, Helen Van Sittert, Arty Margaret Wallace, Associate Artg Ralph Hutchinson, Advertisirigg Clifford Hill, Sportsg Jocelyn Crichton, Associate Sports, Anna Fitzhugh, Literary ,' Florence VVilliams, Alurrmi, Ethyl Severin, Caleridarg Oella Lowman, Organizationsf Lee McLur- man, Departirieritsg Mary Katherine Moore, Senior Literary, Brenton Sumner, Picturesj Harold Axe, Jokesg Myra Kinch, Societyg Robert Taylor, Classes. :i:v1:Pl4?l45l4Pl4:iw -lO- E 2 2 K , Nkmmmw L .. m ,L , THE NEW GYMNASIUM 112-. 660 o 1 ,, 531.

Class of Winter ' 21 A START IN LIFE HE CLASS of XYinter Twenty-one was first organized in the Spring of 1919 when in its junior B term. At that time the class was allowed only a chairman and no other officers, as ,-.fl the honor of a complete organization was reserved for the ' tail Senior term. Al Barnes was chosen for the office, and the class began its career at Franklin under the able direction of Miss Alberta Clark. During the first half of the Junior term, 1 NZ' 1 a death in the family of our beloved class teacher necessitated ,QED ji an absence of several weeks, during which time Miss Yan Camp substituted as advisor and guardian. The first of the class's many enterprises was successfully carried out when an ice cream booth and picture gallery were erected and operated during the May Day fete of 1919, at a substantial profit to the Girls' League. The then Junior class was also one of the first classes to receive a one-hundred-per-cent diploma in the Red Cross drive. Even at that early date the entire class showed that they were full of pep and ready to boost Franklin in every way possible. A French orphan was supported during both the junior and Senior terms. The class contributed over one hundred dollars to this worthy project during that time. SENIOR B'S At the beginning of the Senior B term, February, 1920, the guardianship of the future graduates was placed in the hands of Mark M. Horton, who soon gained the love and admiration of the entire class and recompensed the loss of one for whom we felt a sincere friendship, Miss Clark. As a complete organization was not allowed until the end of the first ten weeks of the Senior B term the -present administration was re-elected and the Ship of State sailed on. The most noteworthy accomplishment of the Senior B term was the entertainment of the Class of Summer Twenty, which was given in the form of a skating party at Alhambra. Although a heavy rain set in and lasted nearly all evening, almost-one hundred per cent of both classes were present, everyone was in the best of humor and all had a really good time. At the beginning of the second ten weeks, the class was formally organ- ized into the Class of NVinter Twenty-Qneg president, Al Barnes, vice-presi- dent, Kathrine Norton, secretary, Mildren Dennis: and social chairman, Frances Siebold. - THE HIGH AND MIGHTY NVith the opening of the fall term the High and Mighty Senior A Class displayed an unbelievable amount of initiative and pep, and it was through the continued efforts of all of its members that it was able to accomplish so many things during such a short time. The first few weeks of the term were spent in reorganizing, appointing committees, choosing colors, songs, yells, etc. Al Barnes. Kathrine Norton, and Mildred Dennis were re-elected to the respective positions, and Hasel Hood was elected social chairman. At this time in the term twenty-two members were enrolled, and we hoped to be the first winter class to be honored with an Ephebian member. However, two members dropped out before the end of the term and the class 114, graduated with twenty members. The first public appearance of the Senior A Class was made in the early part of October, when the class paraded, snake- like, around the grounds at noon, announcing their colors, which were Crim- son and Silver, and also announcing several of the class yells. Then they made their way to the prettily decorated Little Dining Room, where they enjoyed a dainty luncheon, after which they invaded the school, making enough noise to make a good-sized boiler factory sound like a cemetery. Perhaps the undertaking of the year was accomplished on the 10th of january, when the Class published the first edition of the Kite and Key, Franklinls first handbook. This was the fruit of hard labor on the part of each member of the class, and found immediate favor with every Franklinite. On the 17th of january the class presented a very unique and original Class Day program in the Little Theatre. This consisted of a short one-act play, a presentation in skit form, of the VVill and Prophecy, a solo by a member of the class, and the class song. This performance was given three times, twice in the afternoon for the general student body, and once in the evening, at which time the Class of Summer Twenty-One and the friends of the Senior A Class were invited guests. Several times the class or part of the class appeared in aud call, either in advertisement of a play or advertisement of the class. A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Majestic as guests of the Senior B Class. c The crowning event of the term was the ditch day which the entire class enjoyed at Venice, and which came as a complete surprise to the rest of the school. The class left school at noon and stayed until-o'clock. Did they have a good time? They'll say so! Virginia Ferris learned to jump off Cooties backwards, Marjorie Skeels nearly vamped the entire Santa Monica police force, Thelma and Katharine just wouldn't leave the Big Dipper and, 'well- nobody wanted to come home nohowf' Besides the ditch day, the class enjoyed several parties and receptions and wish to thank all those who made these good times possible. To crown a successful and useful career at Franklin, and in order to leave the school something by which the Class of Winter Twenty-one might be remembered, it was decided to give the school a pair of fioor palms for the new gymnasium. This concluded the activities of the class at Franklin. However, there still remained one more chapter to ,be written, and this was done on the evening of January twenty-first, when the graduating exercises were held at the Ebell Club House. The auditorium was very attractively decorated with crimson carnations, poinsettias and desert holly. The exer- cises were a complete success in spite of a drenching rain. In leaving Franklin, the Class of Winter Twenty-One wishes to express its deep regret in parting from all that we have held so dear, and its sincere thanks to all of those who have so generously contributed of their time and talents toward making the Senior A term a success. Farewell, Franklin! -15-- Songs and Yells of Winter 21 HAPPY DAYS fTune, Oh! By fingolj Happy days and happy hours we've spent at Franklin High, But now the time is drawing near when we must say good-bye The Buff and Blue has been to us A thing to love and cherish. Its memory will live on with us, And its lustre will not perish. Though we've chosen colors of entirely different hue, The Crimson and the Silver will be loyal to the Buff and Blue. The Silver for the luck we wish before each day is done, The Crimson for the loyal hearts of XfVinter Twenty-One. WINTER TWENTY-ONE We're the Class of Winter Twenty-One, We're the Class that's full of pep and fun, We're the Senior A's of Franklin High For our dear old school we'll do or die. We're the Class that's just chuck full of punch The Senior B's compared with us are mild, Though we don't say much we're full of fight, They say a dog that doesn't bark will bite. For what we start to do we always do with all our might. The Class of Winter Twenty-one. YELLS Rickety-rackety-run, Welre full of pep and fun, There's lots of class To all the class Of Winter Twenty-One. Yep, yep, yep, who's got pep? Senior A's, Senior A's Watch our step. Colors: Crimson and Silver. Motto: Not many but much. .461 Q Class of W 21 MARK M. HORTON A friend in need is a friend indeed. HAZEL CONFER True worth is the go'd for a' that.

SHIZONA TANAKA Of the follows, by the fellows, for the fellows. HAZEL ZILCH The enormous faith of many made for one. Class of Summer 21 UMMER '21! How long those words have echoed to us as out of a dim, distant vista! Of the present sixty, fifteen of FW. us have been comrades together from '17 to '21, Ours is the p 71.1 first class to have the guidance of the same counsellor throughout the four years, for Miss Peterson mothered part of the girls when they were little, frightened Uscrubsi' eager , to be Franklinites. And she was their advisor through the :gif following years, as they grew a little wiser for was it more J r foolish FJ. To her we owe much, and words are, as so often, inadequate to express our thanks to her. Then one day, the door of 208 I-lew open, and in burst those boys -the other half of the class-and peace departed forever. Family scraps commenced and-oh well, we all know boys! So it went, and now we're Seniors, having added new recruits. And this last year is proving the best of all. fVVe see the skeptical glances of the faculty as they recall our illustrations of how to raise the rooffij Our class chairman for the first ten weeks was Lee McTurnan, a new live wire. Charles Miller, with Bessie Pfister as social chairman, steered us through the last of our Senior B days. The announcement of the VVinter '21 colors gave an opportunity for the class to distinguish itself,-mournfully. Enough said? Then there is our social side. NVe're a very sociable class when we're not dis-cussing colors, dresses, or announcements. A superbondonjical beach- party-water-melon-truck-ride was featured last term. As we look back, the rolling and tossing of water Cwaves and melonsj meet our vision, and the sound of brilliant remarks iloats back over the roar and bumps of the vehicles, Later in the term Miss Peterson entertained the Senior B's and faculty at a delightful evening reception. It was the best mixer of the term and everyone was enjoying everyone else so fast that we nearly played the Cin- derella trick. VVell, in short, we were a well-started class before the VVinter Twenty- oners stepped off the platform, but it was with a little gasp that we suddenly woke up to Hnd ourselves it.', First-our ofhcers-. It was a close race throughout, resulting in the choice of Harold Roberts as President, Cuddy McKeown, Vice-President, Helen Van Sittert, Social Chairman, and Helen Macfjlashan, Secretary-Treasurer. Then colors-oh what memories! VVhat Wild, earnest oration a few little ribbons called forth. Anyway-we're all loyal to Orange and NVhite now. We decided to spring them before anyone let it outf' and dazzled the eyes of the wondering underclassmen with our waving pompons and Seniorious voices. As yet, imperative business has occupied the time and minds of the class, and we're just about ready to have a really good time Cas though we hadn't already lj Most of the important events will take place after our book goes to press, but the school will, none the less, hear more anon. And so adieu, Franklin! --21-- HAROLD AXE Tetralpha 1, 2, 3, 4 Masquers 4 Debating 4 Junto Club 4 Athledclphians 4 Everyman Suppressed Desires Almanac 4 MYRTLE CRANDALL Art Club 2, 3 Spanish Club Z, 3 Operatic Club 3 Franklin Square 1, 2 4 KENNETH BELKNAP Tetralpha 4 History Club 4 Press Club 3, 4 Press Staff 4 Ephcbian MARGARET DAVIS Gym Club 2 Spanish Club 2, 3 Latin Club 3 Operatic Club 4 Self Government 4 Mice and Men JACK BENDER Student Council 2 Spanish Club 2, 3, 4 History Club 3, 4 Press Club Z, 3 R.

Mr. Roland Drew Stevens, Professor of Ancient Medieval and Modern Dancing, at the California State Em- porium of Terpsichorean Art. Dear Sir: In answer to your request for information regarding certain prominent citizens who were members of the famous '21 class of the high school of the early days of your career, I now reply. In order to remove all suspicion and to insure confidential revelation and confession, I have emplayed the Rt. Rev- erend Allyn Tygeson as a secret service agent. I was able to do so only for the consideration of SZ,0OO, which sum 'I have drawn from your personal account deposited with the firm of C. Jones and Sons. Mr. Charles jones of that firm has been especially courteous and deserves special recognition. I quote the Rev. Tygeson in the following: LIEUTENANT BRENTON SUMMER reported for duty on the U. S. S. Alabama, docked at San Pedro harbor, after two weeks' shore leave. I have had difficulty in following his movements. He overstayed his leave and now remains below deck awaiting trial. His officer predicts court martial. EDGAR COLLORAN is yeller at the big sideshow with P. T. B. He attracts crowds because of his personality and cunning Ways. BILL VAN NESS, the boy Caruso, has not grown up, though his chest measure will bear washing. Guaranteed not to shrink. GRACE VVILSON is attendance teacher at Greater Franklin, where she has a way of her own. Things Hy when she gets started. Where did she learn how? ' MARGARET STIRLING has embarked upon one of those debatable international marriages, though her romance appeals to us all. She dwells wi' her bonnie lad in Heather Bloom, Scotland. VIRGINIA PURCELI. is a product of the Times, being an instructor at the Otis Art Institute for Ladies NVho Love Color. ' DORIS TYGESON is manager of the Zinnia Room at the Ambassador. She has been clever in producing original entertainment for the children of the guests. LOIS STARCK appears at the Orpheum as Jazz Jane, accompanying the black faced comedian, CHARLES JONES, in a skit called Shadow Shuffiesf' PAUL COOLY has attained the position of chief in the Weather Bureau Department at Sacramento. He has made use of his inventive genius in developing instruments for bringing on rain. His most successful toy is an extension pole which carries an electric current into the depth of a cloud, thus tickling it and bringing the desired rain. OELLA LOWMAN has benefited thousands of the world's poor in her extensive, well-organized social service work. Her prescription for all de- mented persons is egg-nog and twelve hours of sleep each day. O! Ella!! FLORENCE WVILLIAMS, not busy enough at home, h.as undertaken the task of redecorating, furnishing, and landscaping Franklin inside and out. Her green room, also her orange room are distinctive triumphs. 545-- JOCELYN CRICHTON has played lonesome-like all through the years. He is writing scenarios for screem plays in the Make Sonnet Flim Corp. BEATRICE ROBERTSON is librarian at the Arroyo Checko Branch Library. Her favorite book is the Evolution of Eva by Anna Fitzhugh. She reads it and weeps. MYRTLE CRANDALL and ALICE SUMMERS hang out their shingle at Pelican Point. They have extended their Open Arms, a tea room, until it is now a real institution. LEROY HITCHCOCK is endeavoring to reform the attitude of the reading public. He is a book agent selling the New Ignominious Interna- tional Encyclopedia. LEICESTER WVAGNER is seeing the country with the Holy Hollers Grand'Opera Company. Being scene painter is a tall job. VINCENT O'REILLY has patented the Flying Mackerel Motorcycle, guaranteed not to wheeze, bang or lose parts within the first year. ROBERT TAYLOR has missed his profession as comedian and now has a factory on north Main Street where he is manufacturing and turning out his Kewpie vacuum cleaner and the wheez-bang, non-consumptive attachment. MILDRED McMILLAN, head of recreation in the factory districts of Birmingham, Alabama, claims that the color riots are equal to those in the days of Summer 'Twenty-One. Our beautiful LEE McTURNAN is playing Bobby in Clarence while Mary Katharine Moore does Cora with much vivacity. ,BESSIE PFISTER displays a most ingenious electric sign across Greater Broadwayf' which blazes the legend Interior Decorations. Her windows contain-wall paper?-no, pastries. CHARLES MILLER flies in political circles. He is connected with the American Embassy as Stamboul. RALPH HUTCHINSON sports spats. He manages a Woman's Tog- gery Shop and has a Chop Suey Den as a side line. He never gambols.'t VVILLIAM MULLIGAN is sheriff for life in the village of Eat-A-Rye- Biscuit by-the-sea. I sat for two hours ministered unto by the delicate touch of kindly NEVIN PACKARD. She meant to be gentle as was ever her desire but I fear she erred in her choice of profession. She was filling my teeth. The dear girl made me weep ere I could leave her. On an opaque glazed door, in gilt letters I found the inscription DOC- TOR ROBERT DIENNINGS, CHEERUPIDIST - The Anti-freezone Method. DESSIE GILLINGHAM is the first woman reporter and writer to fill the place of Kathleen Norris, having begun on our local journal and risen to the firmament by means of the Pasadena Star. She is not a moonshiner but rather a sunshiner. One could scarcely recognize VIRGINIA DODGE. She has taken to wearing spectacles. She has still the rose upon her cheek, for the climate at COLLINS, Idaho, suits her well and instructing the youth of the town is a fitting calling. She is never unaccompanied in her strolls to and from her school house. ' RICHARD COLLINS cannot be located. It is rumored among the fans of the screen that he is the famous Etta Eltinge who is playing women's vamp parts. -34... The name HAROLD AXE, prefixed by the title JUDGE, has glared from the headlines of the daily papers for nearly ten months past, because of his sensational and praiseworthy stand in upholding the DAVIS bill which relegates all trap shooters to the Island of Yap for life. MARGARET DAVIS ,the originator of the bill has made her name famous in the national senate chambers. . HELEN' HODGES, originator of Oriental Grand Opera, has come to the footlights with a voice here-to-fore unheard. In an original composition Alla Ba Ba and the Fifty-Seven Picklesf, she enjoys a new experience, being in only one pickle. KENNETH BELKNAP is a real force in the chemical world. He may be said to be comparable to T. N. T. His specialty is in the line of electrify- ing effects in moving pictures. He has made two figures appear where there should be only one properly . JAMES BLOHM and ETHEL SEVERIN manage the Peg o' Los Angeles shopping bureau. NVith the assistance of a coterie and vestery of beautiful young girls, Mr. Blohm spends several million each year and makes more. He is reputed to have especially good taste in frocks and hats. VERONICA NORRIS is house-mother for the Eta Bita Pies at Kun- sumptive Kottage. The girls of that organization say she is a peach in general and especially as a chaperon. MAR-IORIE MASTERS, aviatrix, is prime mover in the Uplift Society of Haitwe. JACK BENDER remains loyal to the community in which he spent his high school days. He has a very nifty establishment on the Avenue and therein endeavors to retail real estate. He has a Ford car-a rattling good one, says he. ANNA FITZHUGH'S books which were recently named in Ex-President Heliot's What Not to Read are unfortunately the best sellers in America. Her penny dreadfuls have made her a most talked of author. She is an advocate of the Keep the Children of Germany Fatn League which sends sausages to that country. MISS DOROTHY KINSMAN, the head accountant of the Rockefellow estate, at the present time holds the woman's championship of Alpine Climbers. , CUDDY MCKEOVVN and MYRA KINCH, the twin twisters, are athletic directors at Pam Ford University, Cuddy is Keen on the subject of anti- septic dancing. GLADYS LOEFFLER travels with the company playing Clarence Mary K's father feels no qualms, now, about his daughter's conduct because of her chaperonage. MORTON I-'HELPS is keeper of VVhittier. Since he has been there he has concentrated his efforts on a much needed reform. He demands that his boys Wear short trousers until they leave school. HENRY CLARK is an almost daily visitor to the United States patent office, conscienciously applying for a patent on his Harmless Henna Hair Dye. DOROTHY VVILLETS, having retired from a brilliant career with Pav- lowa, is now teaching a kindergarten in a beautiful rural suburb rather near Compton. fC0nti1mea' to Page l08j VWII of Summer 21 NOVV ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that we, the class of Summer Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-One, having now - absorbed the duly prescribed amount of intellectuality in 5,35 these halls of learning, do hereby make, publish and declare these to be our awards to the more deserving of the younger mfg-QQ,-' set and our devoted faculty. 'iff V To the Senior B's we bequeath our daily fights over colors, jivtm cards, announcements, parties and so forth. Wi!-1 Elf' , To the Juniors we leave our pull with Self Government Officers and our front row seats at Maud calls. To the Sophomores, whatever the Juniors don't want, and this dribble of ink off our pen. To the Scrubs, our places in line at the 'fblue slip window, with all the excuses thereof. To the faculty we leave the following gifts, to be distributed one year after our departure. To Miss Hodgkins, thirteen cans of Grange Pekoe tea, to be made and drunk exactly at three thirty. To Mr. Colestock, all our baby brothers and sisters who love to visit school. To Mr. Neilsen, all due reverence and consideration. CAlso measle germsj To Miss McCully, the senior class leaves the remainder of its treasury to buy Educator shoes.

Besides the above, we wish to make the following individual awards to whom we think deserving. Harold Axe leaves his uncomfortable sense of humor to Harold Hansen. Kenneth Belknap leaves his love of playing tic-tae-tow on the board during classroom period to anyone in Mr. Colestock's classroom. Jack Bender leaves his lanky longitude to Benny Yorba. Jimmie Blohm to Evy Hughes his ability to kid the girls. George Bradbeer sorrowfully relinquishes his position as unpensioned veteran of Franklin High School to Harvey Furman. Halford Buck Wills his ability to Hvampl' the ladies between the ages of nine and nineteen, to VVilliam Preston. fC0ntinued to Page Z08j ., V. .....0.i3-1 Ephebian Society ,Q-' Y ELECTING Anna Fitzhugh and Kenneth Belknap, S'21, Mm Franklin has for the fourth time sentlrepresentatives to the .5,,,1fiw 1, Tiphebian Society which was organized in 1918 by Dr. if Shields to unite a group of intelligent, thoughtful people, who fa,1 lil should bind themselves to a watchful and unsellish interest in -.gf ' civic affairs. --wg, The graduates upon whom the honor has been conferred ' 4 are: S'lS, Fred Axe, S'l9, janet -Iohnsong S'2O, Roland Wind- mueller. Representatives are chosen by the faculty from the group of students holding the highest grades. But grades alone do not determine the Ephebiang leadership, public-spiritedness, shown by the student in the school at large, power to think clearly, to act promptly and efficiently, are some of the determining factors. In addition, the faculty must exercise a prophetic power which considers the possible development of the candidate in maturity. The first Ephebian is now president of the society, an honor which reflects credit on Franklin's choice. This year's Ephebians have shown by their earnestness, their wide inter- ests, their keen thinking, their open-mindedness, their executive power, as well as their consistently good grades that the choice has been wise. Kenneth Belknap excels in economics and sociology, work that reveals the civic-minded person, Anna Fitzhugh's mature understanding and appreciation of human problems through literature is a strong recommendation for hue citizenship. The school rejoices in the honor that has come to these two students. To them and to all Ephebians and all possible Ephebians, and all who are interested in Ephebians, Aristotle has said: No citizen has a right to consider himself as belonging to himself, but all ought to regard themselves as belonging to the State, inasmuch as each is a part of tho State, and care for the part naturally looks to the care of the whole. The Ephebian oath of allegiance is: NVe will never bring disgrace to our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks, we will iight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with manyg we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naughtg we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of civic duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less, but far greater and more beautiful, than it was transmitted to us. --37-. Alumni Rippling Ryhmes SUMMER, '17 HE first class from these classic halls was summer seventeen, ' ' and recalling now their colors, we will keep their memory green, Grace .Adams now is teaching the young idea at il V VVatts, while Roy jones is renting houses, or else he sells 1 , town lots. Bev Hill and Kathryn Nichols are married to each other, while Jessie VVilson and Annie Belle Nunn have K ' , each picked out another. Mildred Hogan, too. we see, de- cided to change her name, and Irving Brown, at Berkeley, strives for engineering fame. Mamie Glover and Ruth Chap- man are at S. B. U. C. Ruth Ewald's at Pomona, Katherine Speer at Berkeley, Seward Miller's changed an English girl i11to a Yank -Irene Van Buskirk's working in the California Bank, WINTER, 'is Of the eight members of winter eighteen, there's little I can write, al- though we still remember them with their colors of red and White. Isabel Brier's at Oxy, at least so we've heard tell, and driving mules is now the lot of Wilke Kleinpell. We hope itys without swearing-but we're sure he makes them go, and Katherine Smalley's married, and there is all I know. SUMMER, '18 The summer class of eighteen was our first of any size. They chose their colors, orange and white, and thereby proved most wise. Ruth Hopkins and Marie McCaulley are out at U. S. C. Mary Annin, Allan MacRae and Finley Laverty, at Qxy pursue learning-while at Pomona College is Marjorie Carver, and adding to their knowledge. Don Hodges and Lois johnson to S. B. U. Co. go, and have there as their classmate Dave Rambo. At Berkeley are Verne Fagin, Lawrence VVright and Robert Stone, while Martha Forsythe forsakes all schools for the violin alone. Ruth McKenzie stays at home and has a lot of fun, and Nellie Posson here at school is a help to everyone. Wilma Deacon and Helen Jacobson each chose the NVilson name, while Gladys Nichols, at Howard and Smith's, adds to the Howerls fame. Charles Stevens, Gardner Partridge and also Vifilliam Goss are married, and I now suppose that each one has a boss. Florence Nicholson is working at the automobile club, and Sumner Bryant is a salesman, and we know he's not a dub. Jo Clark works at Robinson's so some one said to me, and Dorothy VanBuskirk is with the Mortgage Guarantee. Howard Nichols is studying in the Sand- wich Isles, Tessie McCray and Mary Skeele have succumbed to cupid's wiles. WINTER, '19 The class of winter nineteen had hard luck with the Hu and had to wait to graduate until the thing was through. They were akin to royalty which we know was quite all right, because for colors, this class chose the purple and the white. Jack Landon is the President of the Alumni Association and there couldn't be a better one in all this whole nation. Bessie Hopkins spends her days in gaining further knowledge at U. S. C. and Bernhard Lindstrom does the same at Occidental College. That's all that I can tell you about this class so fair, but I can say what e'er they- do, it's always on the square. SUMMER, '19 And now we come to s 'nineteen-among the best, welre told, and for their colors this class chose a peacock blue and gold. Esther Wilson has -33- changed her name to Mrs. Clarence Hill, and by that little deed of hers Clarence's cup of joy did fill. Janet Johnson and Karolyn Karr each travelled far and wide. Beatrice Myers rests this year by her own hreside. Margaret Myers and Katherine Renner are at S. B. U. C. Virginia Moses and Martha Stone at U. S. C. you'll see. Carolyn Cheesman, as I know, just stays around at home, and Grace Judson, so we're told, will soon have a home of her own. You all have heard that little I'm from Missouri rule, to find out if it's true Bob Snyder's gone back there to school. Bob Pike is at Pomona, Helen Symonds at Otis Art, Alfreda Hall in learning, at Berkeley, has a part. David Cant is married and also Dorothy Burke, Elizabeth Baker at Southern Branch, her duties will ne'er shirk. julia Collins works at I-Iall's, we see her fre- quently. Clarence Cedcrstrom is now in Davis University. Ethel Deyoe and Daisy Law attend S. B. U. C. and Oxy claims Bruce Lawson and Frances Melody. Mary Rose Clark at home and hereabouts is seen, and that is all I know about the class of s lnineteen. WINTER, '20 A Of the class of winter twenty, there's little Iive been told, their colors as they chose them were the purple and the gold. Alice Lees, so I have heard, is now in Berkeley, and Ralph Young's taking a dentist's course out at the U. S. C. Bernice Smalley, every night at the Sunbeam we can see, while at the secretarial school we find sweet Katherine Lee. Lucille Pierson is staying home after a year at Southern Branch and Madeline Weaver's work- ing at her father's chicken ranch. Cyril Crusey works at Chaffee's, Elsie Tallman's at Oxy , and that completes the list of winter twenty as you see. SUMMER, '20 VVhen the class of summer twenty their own class colors chose, they took the hues of sunset in the silver and the rose. Kathryn Akin and Margaret Barnes go to S. B. U. C. Dorothy Black has her own Frocke Shoppe as Smarte as it can be. Urith Brunk and Geraldine Keough are ati S. B. U. C. with Eloise Carrell, Mary McLendon and Marjorie Burney. And I have heard that Willodeane West is also at that school while Mr. Pierce is learning the missionary's rule. Wilma Stuart and William Radford are posting here each day and Dorris Espy helps us out at school in her bright way. Virginia Marsen, also, is attending S. B. U. C. Marchant King is running his own Academy. Martha Mueller, Frances Sweetland and also Helen Gates, all work for Western Union. and thus we know their fates. Irvine Rice pro- duces plays for Loreto P. T. A. and understudies for a part in the clever Penrod play. Eunice Killion works at the Broadway Department Store and Mildred Brewer, also, of them we know no more. Lida Van Ness is now attending Herman Seminary, while Adele Stein is passing the hours by making millinery. Margaret Benten's working in a little shop of smocks and Margaret Sweetland is employed with the firm of Haas-Baruch. Ruth O'Hara's married to her favorite kind of bird and that she's very happy, no doubt you all have heard. Alice Graham, so I've heard tell, now takes a music course and Mildred Long takes mail orders in the Broadway De- partment force. Bethel France and Emma Hawk are now at business col- lege, while Trewitt and Oscar Gillan at Pomona gain more knowledge. Down at Cooper, Coate and Casey our old friend Nat Hale climbs among great stacks of dry goods. Laura Messerallis with the Times.,' Helen Denton's checking invoices, much to I-Iamburger's gain and Bill Markham's in Seattle wandering round in all that rain.

It is the largest and therefore the strongest organization of the school because in it there can be concerted action of both the boys and the girls i ul W 3 as a body. A school receives its vitality and life from a work- ing Student Body of enthusiastic boys and girls-as our xx q school has proven. X A It is the purpose of this organization to direct activities S- 3 which concern the school as a whole, to provide funds for Student Body entertainment, and to encourage school spirit. XYe can well be proud of our school, of the entertainment and talent it affords that all enjoy, and of the wonderful school spirit which is so dominant. This is the outcome of concerted effort in the part of all because we have had so many drawbacks from inadequate equip- ment. VVe have been brought together as a school and have achieved a school spirit to be envied-the true Franklin spirit. There are three important divisions of the organization: Student Coun- cil, Board of Finance, and Self Government. These, although they are all separate organizations, really come under the head of the Student Body. The football banquet held at the end of last season, which proved to be so great a success, was given by the Student Body. The paper drive, which was so well answered and which furnished the funds for the football equip- ment, is another example of the activities of organized effort. Board of Finance HE Board of Finance is the organization which governs so ably the money matters of the school. It works silently, in fact, so much so that few realize how much work there is and the scope and breadth of its endeavor. The board is made up of the heads of the different Student Body organizations: The President, Vice-President, and Secretary of the Student Body, the Presidents of the Girls' and Boys' Self Government and Mr. Bullock, Faculty Advisor. Mr. Bullock works tire- GL lessly and willingly to aid and give practical advice in fur- thering the financial activities of our growing student body. Our silent but hard-working Board of Finance has done much to further the interests of the entire school. It uses school money wisely and well. Past administrations have done much to make the Student Body fund a growing factor, put to good uses. The calls for money are many and varied, but the board has discriminated wisely. One of the biggest achievements of last year was the equipping of our splendid football team with entire new outfits. The fellows trotted onto the field looking their best and were worthy representatives of Franklin. The school letters are fur- nished by this body at the end of each athletic season. These are but repre- sentative examples of the scope of our Board of Finance. 2? S fqim .4-,riiiiazt Qi S r Q47-- l I 3 5 ,of they represent school, by the Student Council UR Student Council is the legislative body of the school. One member is elected from each class room. Each representa- tive is responsible for presenting the needs of his class room or of its members. It is presided over by the Student Body President and eounciled by Mr. Moore. A monthly meeting is called and at that time questions of importance to the school are discussed and voted upon. Franklin's Student Council tries to represent its entire Student Body. A unity of purpose and a feeling of co-opera- tion will comc with a realization of this fact among the students. Council members themselves realize their respon- sibility as lawmakers and wish that all the students whom would feel the importance of upholding the spirit of the school, and for the school. w1:vl4?l4?l4Pl4vsvf --4g- Self Government E are glad to report that Self Government has passed success- fully through another year, introducing and carrying out sat- isfactorially several necessary reforms. There is no stepping ahead in cafeteria line, no getting by an officer without one of those little slips of paper upon which the signature of a M teacher is affixed, and there are no couples to hold up the .gyms halls during noon period. . Q U . i 559 NYC rejoice at the fine Franklin spirit which has so readily co-operated with Self Government. It is the Spirit which has made Self Government the success that it has been this year.

All went home after the fun was over, blissfully remembering the XVhistleH and the program of games.

VN In spite of this lack of boys, the rletralpha Society is one of the most active organizations in the school. It has accom- Q 1 6 1 . lished much this year. One of the main achievements was P . the semi-annual Maud call at which Mr. Edgar A. Guest was the speaker. The members of the club enjoyed their usual ditch-day one afternoon when common folks were studying. A grading of pins has been decided upon to show how many terms a Tetralpha member has received four 1's, gold to be the highest-for four terms. Among other things planned for the remainder of the term are an Maud call and the usual ditch-day. The oliicers were: First term-President, Nevin Packard, Vice-Presi- dent, Dolly Parker, Secretary, Jeannette Jacobusg Treasurer, Marsden Peairs. Second term-President, Margaret VVallaceg Vice-President, Adele Picoug Secretary, Lola Fletcher, Treasurer, Geneva Vlfarburtong Faculty Advisor, Dr. Frost.

N Athladelphian Club was organized a few years ago to promote and arouse interest in athletics. It is an honor , society for Franklin letter-men and not only creates the ath- letic spirit but also carries forth and encourages the contin- flxl nance of good fellowship and sportsmanship among the boys. QM' The membership, however, is strictly confined to those who go forth and strive for the bringing home of the laurels to eff their Aflina Mater. In return for their ceaseless efforts, they receive an emblem in the form of an F presented by this club and .upon so doing they are automatically admitted as members of the society. XN'ith the growth in Franklin High School, sports are bound to be, in years to come, important factors of the institution. And so it has been this semester, as it has reached the high water mark, this being the most successful year in all the history of Franklin's athletics. Due to this success, the club heartily welcomes many new members, including Coach Daugherty, the first honorary member. The officers for the year were: President, Clifford Hill, ViVce-President, Arthur Teachout. Treasurer, Theodore Brobst.

Several dances were given at varius and calls, also a program before the football banquet. The club expects to give a number of dances at the opening of the new gymnasium, and many more later in the term. The members are also practicing dances for the May Fete.

CHAIRMAN, Wforthy Opponents, Honorable Judges. and Friends, let me bring to your attention for a moment the i Junto Clubfl This organization is one of the best in the 96, school in that its qualifications for membership are of the W ' highest, and because it has charge of the inter-scholastic debates of the school. Among the notable events of this year are: lst, three series of city league debates: 2nd, a trial at judge Forbes' court which was attended by the members of the club, and 3rd, a mock trial. The officers for last term were: President, Dorothy VVil- letsg Vice-President, Virginia Ferris: Secretary-Treasurer, Harold Hanson: Chairman Program Committee, lilsa Beregsasy.

The Junior Orchestra, organized last term, deserves special mention, for the members are the 'Amen behind the gunsf' Those students who have not played in an orchestra, those who are in the Senior Orchestra but need more practice, and those who are just learning to play an instrument, belong to this semi-club. Last term, the members numbered twelve but this term the num- ber has increased to fifteen. No officers have been elected. L L NDER the able direction of Miss Rankin, the Girls' Glee Club has progressed admirably. The girls appeared very success- fully at the VV'2l graduation and on several occasions at Maud calls. In order to raise money to pay for the music used by the club this year, the girls are planning an inter- esting and amusing program to be given during a noon period. Last term the club was accompanied by one of the school's most talented musicians, Katherine Norton, NV'2l, who added much to the success of the club. This term, Helen Hodges, whose music has been an asset to the whole school, has given up her place as a second soprano, to be accompanist. The otiicers for the past term were: President.

At Christmas time the girls painted races V , on many chubby rag dolls which were dressed and given to a y charitable institution. Une noon the club members visited the shop of Dorothy Black, a former president of the club. 1 Here they were shown some very charming dresses. The second part of the year the constitution was revised, and the boys of the art department invited to join the club. rl On St. Patrick's day a charming green and white luncheon K 1- was given which was voted a great success. Hikes, picnics, teas, parties, and luncheons are on the schedule for the rest of this term. The President for the first term was Helen Van Sittert. This term's officers are: President, Loise jeffers: Yice-President, Marie Denton: Secre- tary-Treasurer, Dorothy Jeffers. HE Expression Club of Franklin was organized during the Q fall term of this year. Its object is to promote a desire for , correct speech and better literature. ' R i The club so new that not many meetings have been held f and no definite plans have as yet been made. However, with f such competent ofiicers, great things are to be expected for 'J the remainder of the year. As the club grows in age, experi- -Q ence, and numbers, more is to be expected. P .

HE Faithful Few who have had time to attend the meetings and to keep up with the books of the day have gained guid- ance and inspiration through the Literary Club and have, at the suggestion of Miss Hodgkins and Mrs. Church become acquainted with some of the more recent books. Finding that the usual noon session was too short for dis- cussion, in March the time of meeting was changed to the afternoon. In order to make the atmosphere of the club entirely informal regular organization was discontinued. At the invitation of Miss Hodgkins, the meetings have been held in her office. Sh! Sometimes tea is served. The students who officiated as long as formal organization continued were: President, Anna Fitzhugh: Vice-President, Emma Hep- burn: Secretary, Helen Spafford: Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Church.

ATNTY teas have formed the decorative background to the . very solid work done by the Home Economies Club this year. The objective of the Club since September may be ex- pressed by two words,-dishes and table linen. For this purpose several sales of candy, ice cream and pop were held at the home football games. To the amount so earned were iff' added twenty dollars contributed by the Student Body,- profit from the football banquet-in return for the very arduous and efficient service of the girls at that banquet. VVith this money, cups, plates and table cloths were pur- chased, which may be used at social affairs by the school at large. In March, the proceeds of a program given by the Boys' Glee Club, and boy members of the dramatics classes under the man- agement of the Club, were set aside for the purchase of a silver tea service. The altruistic work of the Club is the relief work that has been the sequel to the war work of previous years, which has prevented the club from turning its activities to the wants of the school until this year. Layettes were made for the Red Cross home relief, and paper favors, made by the girls, were given to the garden party held in April by the happy children of Los Angeles to raise money for their unhappy cousins in war-ravaged Europe.

T. C. men in Southern California. Franklin has par- ticipated the last two years. Last year, excellent training and letter-perfect work plus the attendance of the Fates sent the squad home in possession of the winner's trophy, a banner. This year's squad had the training, they dis- played the letter-perfect work and were highly commended but, unfortunately, the Fates were not with them. N The contest was simply based on a set of orders, promptly and perfectly executed. The band and the boys' glee club participated in contests on this occa- sion. To quote from the Pomona Student Life : The Franklin band was probably the finest organization that has ever been upon the Pomona campus. They added pep to the day and were always ready to play when called upon. --64- CAPT. ARTHUR BRAYTON CAPT. ELECT 1922, MIKE GODETT Lineup. R. G. VVes jaqua. L. H. Allen Gulick. L. E. Bud Teachout. R.

Stan can dance better to football music than anyone we ever saw. It will be hard to duplicate Stan as we lose him by graduation.

Q' ' 5 Q to Q xl -1 9 ff' 130 21. f'.?' -ng I CHAMPIONSHIP pennant for the 1921 season does not hang in our hall but as our football friends express it we just missed itf' Two ties, three wins and a defeat tell the story. Some of the hardest fought games in the history of the Cen- tral League were played by Franklin this year. At Glendale, we beat the team which won the champion- ship and was doped to defeat us. The old F. H. S. fight manifested itself and, the game being played on .Armistice day, it was necessary that the Armistice be called off long enough for Franklin to beat Glendale to the tune of 14 to 0. Here the famous Reynolds' forward pass came into action at critical moments, giving us a few yards here and there when needed to make a first down. But the feature of the game was the holding strength of the line when there were three yards to go and four downs to make it in. The Glendale backs conldn't penetrate the wall-like line. Another notable feature was Art Brayton's and Allen Gulickls line bucking which paved the way for our first touch-down in the last frame of the go, Dodo,' Brayton carrying it over. The second touch-down came a few seconds later when Guliek intercepted a pass on the thirty-yard line and hot-footed his way to the score which cinched the game. Although Glendale won the championship on a percentage basis, Frank- lin's warriors showed their class by handing the rag coppers their only defeat. In the South Pasadena game. the last one of the season, Benjaminls Lightning Snatchers handed the Tigers their first football defeat at the hands of a Franklin aggregation. The notorious Reynolds to Teachout pass, and the heady work of quarterback Buddy Sumner saved the day in the last four minutes of play, after 50 minutes of the tightest football ever exhioited on a Central League gridiron. Creswellys foot-work and Teachoutys pass-snagging were the features of the day. After three successful passes and several desperate line plunges, victory was snatched from the Ere when Reynolds slipped one over into the waiting arms of Bud Teachout. Brayton converted and the score stood seven markers for the Buff and Blue and a goose egg for South Pasadena. -4 1.7- Captain John Turner Capt. elect 1922 Theo. Brobst Line-up for 1921: c.-Theo.

Continually on the other end of Rats' pegs, jack deserves a good deal of credit for pluck and fight. 168.- Hli team started the diamond sport this year with a bang 6 by winning the first four games in a row. Our first reversal .Q f I was at the hands of South Pasadena, who turned defeat into 'ln , victory by a ninth inning rally, thus wreaking their ven- geance of the football season. Our first game with Glendale A cm, ni was a riot of errors and hits, Franklin finally romping home, dragging sixteen tallies behind them. This was six more than Glendale could garner. The Blue and Buff also handed Alhambra the biggest surprise of her life when we journeyed to their lot and swatted the pill for twelve circuits against their lone marker. Our second game with Glendale was probably the closest game of the season, when with the score one to one, the Lightning Snatchers came back with a rally and gathered three more runs. Teachout and Brobst formed an invincible battery and were handy with the stick in the pinches. The pitching of Art is especially to be commended, in conjunction with 'fRats'l' headwork. Hitch showed himself to be very worthy colleague of Teachout in the box and useful in the field. The hitting of Godett, and Stein's judgment in the Field, coupled with his ability to lay down a bunt were valuable factors in the winning of many of the contests. Hughes performed well at the initial sack, while Harris executed skillfully at second base. Captain john Turner has shown himself to be a deserving leader as well as a dependable shortstop. Darling and Miller romped around in the garden, coming forth with the goods at the right time, while the diminu- tive Berry proved that size does not always count. Crandall, a new man, was declared ineligible at the beginning of the season and so was not able to render his services. The prospects for next year are very bright, for everyone except Hughes will return, and with the new men, will form a combination which will be hard to beat. -OU- Girls' Baseball HE girls have shown that they can play baseball as well as root for it. At first they went into it merely because it was one of the games to be played in the regular gymnasium work, but later on, when a contest between Miss Keen's girls ge and those of Miss Smith's classes was rumored, the excite- ment began. Keen and Miss Smith each picked a team from the best girls in all their classes. Miss Keen's classes played off against each other to decide which team should a Q55 Q-Q play Miss Smith's winning team. In the finals, Miss Keen's players won, and it is the picture of this team that appears on the opposite page. The girls, teams had many an exciting contest during the noon hour, and although their time was limited, they made up for it by play- ing a snappy game. This step in advance in girls' athletics really shows that girls take a vital interest in sports,- not only from a spectators' viewpoint but also from the viewpoint of player and worker. Tennis in Franklin has, during the last two terms, become one of the outstanding sports of our school. Girls' tennis classes for the First time in the history of the school were started in September. E Many who doubted the success of this plan have completely changed their opinions. It has helped wonderfully in the physical development of many of the girls, has further instilled in their minds the spirit of fair play, has shown the power of concen- tration and constant practice in any one direction, and has brought many of the girls into a closer comradeship than could ever have resulted from any other method. Although no great players have as yet come from these classes, there is a certainty that girlshtennis will amount to something under the direction of Miss Keen, for, had it not been for her untiring efforts with us, little would have been accomplished. r Track HE track team did very well indeed this year considering the turnout. Our only regret is that more of our cinder path ' aspirants did not come out. ln the Central League meet, Bob Lee showed up with the old Franklin vim and vigor, .5 L ., taking second place in the hundred yard dash and high jump, ...,., ,, ,,,. ,- proving himself to be one of the fastest scanty-clads on the held. His less-experienced colleagues helped him in the meet with the Los Angeles Military Academy, rolling up a score ' of forty points, which was only six less than that of their opponents. Much credit is due Lloyd, Lee, Crum,.Brady, Henry, Nich- ols, Gladson, and blames for going over to the Occidental field every day, giving much of their valuable time, that Franklin might be represented. The record of the Los Angeles Military meet is as follows: Lee, first in 100 yards, tied for first in high jump, second in 220 yards, second in shot put, hrst in discus throw: Lloyd tied for first in high jump, third in shot put, second in 440 yards, third in discus throwg Brady, second in 880 yards: Henry, third in 880 yards, Nichols, third in mile, james, hrst in mile.

He values it because of the hero worship of his fellow students and that is about as much of a personal value A as he places upon it. 1 In business, a man's emblem or letter he wins, is his suc- cess in'that business and that is not always success in a financial way. lt is the realization within himself of his self- Q lk control and adaptability to his situation. His success is not won over night, but after years of self sacrifice and ups and downs which had to develop within him self-control and team work among his associates. XYe always look back in history to the days of the historic Greek athletes who used to Fight, run and compete with each other in the old Coliseum, to receive an olive wreath in return, but l think they lost the real value of win- ning because it was merely for glory and the hero-worship that has been handed down to the youth of the present day. Take the hero-worship out of the winning of an emblem and athletic sports would soon be a thing of the past. Personally, I think we have come to the point where the popularity of the average Physical Director is placed upon his ability to produce winning teams for a schoolg that condition has been brought about by the losing of the real value of the competition and the win- ning of an event or emblem, The school has a rule, whereby a letter may be won or granted, but this rule does not include all of the fellows who, in my estimation, have won more and done more for themselves and the school than the athlete who brings in --73- the winning run or puts over the touch-down that means a victory for the school. That is the fellow who comes out year after year and never makes the team, but Without his efforts the team would be mythical and could not stand up under fire because of the lack of experience and team work that is developed under the fire and training that must so necessarily be gone through with before competitive games. To this sufferer, as he may be called, should go a great deal of the credit of the victory of the team, but this is lost sight of in the hero-worship of the team as a unit. After all, the fellow who' helped make the team what it was, has gained more than the players on the team because he has developed self-control, maybe not physical but mentalg under this head comes a wonderful collection of personal assets: Determination, Strength, Self-sacrifice and Ability to stay with a problem until it is mastered to the best of his or her ability. 'So, after all, the true value of winning a letter is not the hero worship that in the past counted so much, as it is in the personal gain one should have received from the team work and self development that will, later in his life, help him solve the big problems of life. Above all, the winning ofthe letter does not count as much as do the friendships and the spirit of self-sacrifice for the sake of an ideal which after all makes the character of a real athlete or emblem student of the school, not only physically but in the three great sides of life, spiritual, mental and physical. -Francis L.

C. work has received a new impetus this year, and its fs development is very noticeable. At the Southern California us Competitive held at Pomona last year, Franklin won First W place. Last summer, Collins, Nash, Buck, Reynolds, Allen, 1' Hitchcock, Chambers, Johnson, Pillsbury, Hamer, Conley li and Colleran were sent to Camp Kearney, and this year's work is helped along by the experience they gained there. The unit began the year with a boom. Mr. Montgomery f and Sergeant Sullivan were in charge of the work and in GL a short time Sergeant Smith was stationed here. VVith such an able corps of instructors and such a fine body of oiiicers, the unit has been a great success. At the first line-up, the rookies were put in a company by themselves. but as soon as they had had enough military drill to be manageable, the com- panies were divided evenly and real competition began. As a result, a lively interest was taken in all R. O. T. C. activities. A big Field Day on March eighteenth came as a climax to this activity. There were individual, platoon, and company competitionsg awarding of commissions and warrantsg and the main feature of the program-a sham battle. During the year the Band certainly did its best in bringing fame to Franklin. It led the unit in all its parades, and, as a crowning feature, it marched in the 'Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. The Band is now drilling for the Band's Competitive, and it expects to carry off the honors. Franklin hopes so, for the Band always does fine work and makes a good showing wherever it goes. As the school year draws to a close, interest in the unit is far from dying out. Some of the boys are planning to attend camp, others are trying out for the squad that competes at Pomona this year, and the rest are trying to keep step to the drum. :i::z:vIsPl4Pl4vIs:z::x: -78- ii .V '-Xa. X QP .gg ga-QP' 'Q i . 4' -W Agriculture T last it looks as if Franklin will have a real live Agricultural Department. Mere plans are so rapidly becoming actual facts that one of these days the Student Body of Franklin High School will see what appears like a mirage in the distance. There will be a bungalow for laboratory work and for a read- ing room, an up-to-date palace for titled swine, a house for hens of aristocratic parentage, a rabbitry of 1921 model and various sheds to house goats and cows. VVhen telephone connections are put in, a good road is built and a one-man dinkey car line is established students will arrive on time at classes which no doubt will seem unusual. If distance lends enchantment then the Agricultural held ought to be the most wonderful place at the school. There has been planted this spring repre- sentative fruit trees of Southern California as well as shrubs and vines. In time roses will clamber over the fences and flowers will add a dainty touch to the grounds. lt is the aim of the department to offer next fall General Agricultural and Dairy Husbandry followed by Horticulture in February. The department is adopting Los Angeles' famous slogan VVatch Us Growf' .-17 QA 73? 4 Wil I Art UR art department is one of which we are truly proud. Dili- gence and industry as well as artistic temperament and natural talent have been displayed. Several of the students have made lampshades, beads, and various things which have been sold. At Christmas time one of our students did much of the work on Bullock's mail order catalogue. Of course the artistic development of this Almanac and of all the Al- manacs depends upon the work of the art students. The sets used in the production of plays are also painted by the members of the art department. NVe continually call on the art students for posters, advertising our plays and entertain- ments and we are always satisfied with the results. Cafeteria E can credit Miss Stockwell with the feeding of the five thou- sandf' To carry the allusion further, we may say she daily dispenses the loaves to the fishes. And such good ones as they are, too. Wlhen the first bell rings at noon, everyone, from seniors to scrubs uses, once more, his overworked brain. This time it is to develop some kind, yes, any kind of an excuse to get out. of the class room so that he may be among the lucky first ones in line. XVhen the chaos clears away, we see seniors and scrubs sitting down peacefully together in perfect harmony to a luncheon ht to set before a king. -,79- Music E may well be proud of the music of Franklin High School. For all other departments look to this department to have their entertainment aided by song and they meet with a . splendid response. Our Glee Clubs, Chorus, Qrchestra and A x ,J . Band are very well trained and they preserve an atmosphere of good humour among the students for there is music in Ng' t ly the air. X Our Boys' Glee has made several out of town appearances. KZ, - The Girls' Glee has worked frantically to meet all the de- mands upon it. Miss Rankin and the Orchestra work tire- lessly, that the Orchestra may play at the and calls they are asked to favor, while our unbeatable Band holds a high place among the city school bands. VVe had the great honor of being the only city school band invited to play at Pasadena's beautiful Carnival of Roses and as we all know our band did its part very creditably. Dmmatics HQUGH for the first time in the history of Franklin, Mrs. Behymer is not the director of the department, nevertheless the school has enjoyed the plays produced under the direc- tion of the new teacher, Miss Lucile Curtis, and her pupils have enjoyed their work with her. The first play, Suppressed Desiresf' was given under the auspices of the Masquers' Society, and was thoroughly en- joyed by five audiences. Next came Our Neighbors, and Three Pills in a Bottle, both clever and amusing one-act plays. Following these came The Florist Shop and A Mid- night Fantasy,' charming in their plots, and well worked out. The last one-act play was The Lost Silk Hat, a play whose cast was made up entirely of boys. The dramatics department will produce the annual school play Mice and Menf' The students who represent Franklin at the state Shakespearian contest are also chosen from this department. '6Everyman, the school play of 1920, coming too late for mention in last year's annual, certainly deserves mention in this. The play, produced under the direction of Mrs. Behymer was undoubtedly the biggest dramatic success Franklin has ever produced. It was an old English morality play, tre- mendously strong in tragic dramatic appeal and with Mrs. Behymer's untir- ing efforts and wonderful ability as director, the students, themselves devel- oped its success. -30. The Shakespearean Festival HIC annual Shakespeare festival was held at Normal Hill Center, April 22 and 23. Ten high schools of Los Angeles 0 and vicinity participated in the event. Each school drama- tized a scene from one of Shakespeards plays and presented A l it in the old Normal School. Each school gave two perform- jwh ances, one in the afternoon of the twenty-second and one the S evening of the twenty-third. T Franklin shared in the pleasure and profit of the occasion ' by giving a scene from The Taming of the Shrew. Helen Hodges played the leading role of Katharine, with Vtlilliam Van Ness as Pctrucio. The role of Batiste, the bewildered father of Katharine and Bianca, was played by Wfalter Thornburg. Delamere Baldwin and Arthur Brady played the parts of the lovers. Katharine's sweet and gentle sister Bianca was acted by Marcia Green, All of the characters are worthy of commcndation for their ability as Shakespearian actors. It was a dramatic achievement such as can not often be experienced by amateurs. The school was most fortunate in having both Helen and VVilliam the same year. They will be remembered for their excellent portrayal of difficult roles. Mavkvkaaa 381- .1 Q9 9 7' Exile' ilf ' J I' 2 Commerce HAT would we do without the commercial department? Its students typewrite the copy for the Almanac, make stencils for the other departments, copy parts and programs for the plays, handle money, keep the accounts for all the activities, and conduct all the business of the student body organiza- tion. About forty per cent of the new students enrolled in this department this year, and it was necessary to secure two more teachers for the work. ' Its students excel in scholarship, too. Many were elected to Tetralpha, about fifty students succeeded in getting Zaner Penmanship Certificates this yearg several won diplomas for speed and accuracy in typing, and many are holding good business positions -the reward of work well done. Instruction is given in bookkeeping, business English, commercial arith- metic, commercial geography, commercial law, elements of business, office practice, penmanship, shorthand, and typing. 5x51 'lf ' K' A W if M li-A3-at English N INTELLIGENT, working knowledge of English, written and spoken, an appreciation of literature, and its spiritual sig- nificance in the development of the race, and of the present generation in particular, are the objectives of the English department. To attain them is somewhat difficult in this day, when jazz is rampant. Under the efficient and kindly direction of Mrs. Virginia Church, who was appointed last fall to the headship of the department, teachers and students are working earnestly and hopefully. The courses remain very much as last year, however, B11 Composition is now made a prerequisite to any other upper class writing course, a require- ment that will do much to improve the mechanics of writing, and give wider scope to those desiring literary expression. Senior Essayl' is required for every candidate for graduation, and has been placed in Mrs. Church's hands, with the result that the graduation essays are now written easily and efli- ciently, with a minimum amount of suffering on the part of the students, as plenty of time, and school hours are given to the work. History INCE September, between three and four hundred pupils have come through the mill, as Mr. Colestock expresses it. The majority have taken either Ancient or Medieval and Modern History with Miss Bolton. Others are with Mr. Colestock studying United States History, and the remainder grow en- thusiastic over Sociology and Economics with Mr. Newell. Miss Bolton explains to each new class that she is not there to hang them, scare them, pass out fifty detentions each or send them to the office, but merely to see that they get their lessons. Mr. Newell is a stickler for work, but he has unlimited sympathy and consideration for people who look overworked. Because American History is compulsory, all must take it. Mr. Colestock's classes not only learn history, but learn to like it. 1 ' A ' INA Z 222 QV ff vs til ll, ,gg- Home Economics REAT numbers of girls are instructed each year in the arts of Home Economics. The chief purpose of this course in Home Economics in Franklin High School is to arouse and H develop an interest in making the home a real home-vvith all its responsibilities, duties and pleasures. Home Econom- ics is a vitally important factor in the life of every American girl, and this department gives practical training so that the . girl can manage a home of her own as soon as the time x comes. There are two courses offered, one in Sewing and ' Y ' one in Cooking, under the careful direction of the two Home liconomics teachers, Mrs. Anderson and Miss Campbell. The most appropriate dress for the occasion and the most tempting dish to be served, how to make that dress and how to prepare the dish, form the problems. Here the girls learn, through experience, the necessary fundamentals of managing a home. Languages HE Latin Department has been enlarged this year, and Miss Clark has taken charge of several of the classes. A little more Arma virumque eano is seasoning the department, for the third and fourth year Romans have combined to study Virgil. French is still a popular language, and it is especially so because Miss Dunbar makes even word drill interesting. The tussle with verbs and pronunciation, and the reading of the comedies and novels is carried on, but this year's most interesting stunt is the carrying-out of the correspondence plan. Vive la France. Por donde fueres hoz como vieresn has been to a certain extent the motto of the Spanish department, which, through the study of the language, Spanish customs, racial characteristics, arts of the Spanish coun- tries, etc., endeavors in its own way to do a bit toward making the student- body more world-minded. It has been fortunate in adding to its faculty Mrs. Browning and Miss Clark, who are ably conducting the throngs through gg, . 1'7 liiilf lllff 1 1 'i ii -,Him 5 l L I A 5 i g, T 1 ., xi f 7 the entertainments and training of this popular subject. ii 13 4 S I my 9 Li brary RANKLIN'S library is growing so fast that it had to move into larger quarters last term. Every inch of wall space is filled with shelves of fascinating books. Books on all subjects. from the deeper works on econom- ics, history, or government, to those of adventure and short stories. Shelves, shelves, shelves of interesting books. A few good pictures, handsome oak furniture and vases of flowers all help to make the library inviting to the stu- EL9, J- dents, so the room is one of the busiest ones in the school. The class in library-craft is responsible for the order of the shelves, and preparation of the new books and magazines. Every bit of the work is instructive, for, you know, you really cannot handle good books every day without learning something. . 'AEP - -1.4 ,123 3 Hlll ' w S Manual Training RANKLIN is proud to have Mr. Hjurman at the head of her Manual Training department. He has made several well- known wooel carvings, as well as clay hgures, which are fine examples of work in that art. Une figure especially, which was called Baby Paul, was honored by being placed in the Pennsylvania Academy. The shop rooms with their benches, saws and lathes, are always humming with indus- try, and the woodshop work goes on with a vim. The Man- ual Training department is growing in usefulness: it is now as indispensable to the school's life and activity as any of the other departments.

'llll:ll Physical Education O BE healthy, wealthy, and wise is the aim of every good boy and girl, and the HEALTHY clause always comes first. Being well equipped, physically, is the lirst essential to the happy, useful life that each of us is striving for. The gym classes have drilled and played games out of doors. They played off inter-class baseball and basketball and hockey games and individual tennis matches. There have been ten- nis tournaments for boys and girls for which the girls were trained in Miss Keen's tennis classes. The two large folk- daneing classes which have met in the cafeteria, have done noblef' though they couldnlt have enjoyed dancing on the cement floor. They will appreciate the waxed Hoor in- the new building perhaps more than any other group. The department work will soon include apparatus exercise, long since discontinued. dxf if Science VICN Old Ben Franklin himself would be pleased could he see our science department. He believed that much of the prog- ress of the world depended upon science, and he, himself, made a very important discovery in electricity. Since Frank- lin High School was organized. when Mr. Sniflin was the only teacher of science, the department has grown steadily, until now about two-thirds of the nine hundred Franklinites take some subject in the science department. There are two new teachers in the department, and more will be needed if sir 1 demonstrate all E EF J X l m soon. It is generally conceded that everyone should have some knowledge of science. This department is well equipped to work in elementary science. Service HE DUKE?

Please, dear general, tell those scrubs to follow the example set by the high and mighty seniors. 185, The jfrartklin Brass NIllIINIli0p1Imum Press Has Shown Steady Progress The first Franklin Press ap- peared in October, 1917. The sheet was one-half its present size, and was given to a Student Body just half its present size. A novice printer made up the first paper, with the result that a lot of filler hold-over, poems, etc., intended for future issues, was printed as a Literary Page on an extra sheet, making a six page edition. The paper attained its present size within three months. The purpose of the Press, then as now, was to record all school news, and support all worth-while activities of the school. Jack Landon, NV'l8, was the first editor. llis successors were: Bruce Lawson, S'l8, Roland XVindn1ueller, S'20, Alice Lees, VV'2U, Nevin Packard, S'2l, '1 rew- hitt Harriss ,S'2O, Mildred Mc- Millan, S'2l, and Tom Stitnson, S'2Z. Two of these have been Student Body presidents, and be- cause of executive and literary ability developed in the Press work, three have been Almanac editors. The office of business man- ager has been one of appoint- ment, and consequently only three managers have had charge of the Press. They are: Ralph String- fellow, Harvey Furman and Wil- fred Nance. To these three, the Press owes its Financial success. Tom Stimson won the editor- ship of the Press by the divine right of ability. He seems to have been slated for the position since his ninth-year, knicker- bocker days, when mysterious copies of his personal newspaper, The Periscope, made its steal- thy appearance. No one con- tested his election, as his only formidable rival. Robert Kleinpell, preferred sports to executive work. The reading public of Franklin approves of Tom, because, though adhering strictly to the Press pol- icy of clean news, and as clean English as the reporters are cana- ble of using, Tom has managed to increase the fun spirit, at least as often as space would permit. Tom's spirit is as given to humor as his countenance is to serious- HCSS. The editorials of the present head are noteworthy because of the subject matter and treatmentg they have the good of the school at heart, and are spontaneously and frankly written, with an en- joyment of the task hitherto un- known among Press editors. A new feature of the present editor's work is the personal work of making up the paper at the pri11ter's where he is employed. Though a novice in this work, Tom has shown unusual ability. and can do much to carry out the policy of the staff. Harvey Furman, veteran busi- ness manager of the Press, in charge during the first part of this year, was the first one to place the paper on a secure finan- cial basis. Business-like and effi- cient in his methods, he not only succeeded in keeping the debit side clear, but increased the credit side. His work can not be over estimated in determining the success of the Press. Harvey is a member of the W 22 class. Mildred McMillan, S'2l, occu- pied the editor's chair during the fall term. She brought interest and perseverance to her work, and established the precedent of personal supervision of the make- up of the paper, devoting her time unstintingly to the work. Wilfred Nance, present business manager of the Press, is now enjoying the reward of long ap- prenticeship toil. For some time he understudied Harvey Furman, under the latter's supervision, but now he carries on, unassisted, This is the first time that a busi- ness manager has not had assist- ants to help him sell advertising space, and collect accounts. In carrying this double load, Wilfred has shown his ability to handle Financial matters successfully. Any good bank looking for a bright young cashier? In his work, Wil- -s6- I fred uses the hearty, l'm-your- equal method, which seemed ap- palling to the reporter, but which, coupled with VVilfred's personal- ity, works well, and, what is more, works the advertisers. Due to this successful method, the Press has been able to pub- lish seven large six page editions, and one eight page number this year. Much unsolicited advertis- ing comes to the manager, as the advertisers have found that the ads in the Press bring results. All power to the present man- ager, and may more like him be found in the ranks. Much good material has been found among the years' report- ers. Among the associate editors are: Dessie Gillingham, VVilma Murphy, Morton Phelps. In Shi- zona Tanaka, Robert Kleinpell, and Morton Phelps, the Press has had unusually good sport editors. The boys have made a special study of sports, and their articles have shown regular newspaper technique. Other reporters are: Margaret Stirling, Alice Young, Edgar Calloran, Albert Zoraster, Kenneth Belknap, Ann Arm- strong, LeRoy Hitchcock, Robert Taylor, Melba Green, Dorothy Ruth, Ernest Wills, Doris Tyge- son, Helen Guy, Austin Fraser, Joe Steelman, Al Barnes, Harold Hanson. Many difficulties have been. en- countered during the last year. At no time has it been possible to have a regularly scheduled pe- riod, at which the entire staff could meet. Team work has been practically reduced to a mininiuin because of these unsatisfactory conditions. During the second term, there has been no adequate class room for either the begin- ning or the advanced class in Journalism. The former meet in the wooflshop, where the students must stand, or perch on top of carpenters' benches. 'lhe staff meets in a tiny office, ten feet long, and five feet wide. The time of meeting of the majority of the staff occurs at a time when the teacher in charge is conduct- ing another English class, and so entails hardships for staff and ad- visor. If the present Press staff had the advantages that some of the past have, a paper second to none in the city, taking into con- sideration its size, etc., could have been produced. What the pres- ent staff has accomplished has been :lone under difficulties, and is only a sample of what might have been done. In spite of this, the journalists have enjoyed the work very much and no tears have been shed. As the school grows, the Press will grow, until -it is known as one of the best, newsiest and cleanest school pa- pers in California. Its policy will always be to follow the high standard set in the beginning, and to improve whenever it is hu- manly possible to do so. Calendar August 30.

QI iii' 97' The Prize Story Clover By Helen Goldberg T VVAS the middle of the day, in the middle of the year, and A- ...., .-H it was hot! It was so hot that Lucy, who sat on the floor w: f::1 straightening out some books, letters, and other papers 'Q thought that she would surely die if it did not cool off a bit. l 6 up That was what she was saying to herself, as she worked. A ft Oh, goodness, but it's hot! Iill die pretty soon if it keeps She picked up one of the books, and turning the leaves G 'f Q-ala? . . . . . - ,-,J ldly, she gazed at the pr1nt without really seeing 1t. It was a romantic story, which was to be expected, as it belonged to Lucy. Izuey liked romance, but she was a sensible, prac- tical girl also. She had to be. Perhaps she wouldn't have been if her mother had lived. Her mother had been so good to her, and had in a way spoiled her. But all that was over now. Lucyis mother was not there to help her with her burdens, she was far away in the little town in France where Lucy was born, and Lucy had to be mother to her brothers and sisters. She was always busy it seemed, even now she should not be musing, she had work to do. Still Lucy did not work all the time. She had her music, and oh, how she loved it! But even that didn't seem to help her to-day. . I don't know what's the trouble with me. I just work, and work. and still nothing is done. It seems as if I'1n not getting anywhere to-day.', She began dusting and straightening the books vigorously for about ten minutes. Then she stopped her work long enough to gaze out of the window at the hills, all covered with golden mustard blossoms and wild flowers. How cool, how enticing they looked! I know just what I'm going to do! I won't sit here in this hot room one minute longer. Of course, my work isn't Finished, and I must practice my music if I want to play at the social to-night, she said hesitatingly. But, then, she exclaimed with new conviction, I don't think I'll get anything done here anyway, and so saying, she whisked the books, papers, and all up from the floor and stuffed them into the cupboard and, snatching an apple, she ran out doors to the path that led up into the hills! Oh, it was so won- derful! It seemed so much cooler. The mustard had grown tall and thick and covered the entire hills, and as Lucy wended her way in and out the tall stalks, it seemed as if she were in fairy land. There was one spot she must get to. It was always so shady and the clover grew in abundance. Soon she reached the spot, and throwing herself down among the sweet, fragrant blossoms, she removed the pins from her long, dark hair, that was almost night-blue in the brilliant sun, and let it fall to her waist. She looked pretty as she lay there gazing up into the clear, blue sky, but then even one who did not have the clear skin, lovely features, and graceful form that were hers could not help but look pleasing, if not beautiful, in a place that was so full of beauty. Oh, but this is lovely! I am so glad I came! I knew it would be so ! the girl exclaimed joyfully. -,-94.. Yes, she knew she would not be disappointed. She came here often to get away from the many cares at home. And so Lucy lay and, breathing the sweet perfume of the clover, she gazed into the sky and listened to the sweet sounds of the meadow lark! X va :sf It was night in the great city. The streets were thronged with crowds, not tired, hard working people coming from their weary tasks, but happy, at least in appearance, gay, well-dressed, handsome men and women, going to the theatres, concerts, and other palaces of pleasure. An automobile drew up in front of a large concert hall. The chauffeur helped out a beautiful woman who was a vision of loveliness. She was gowned perfectly, and had an air of relined distinction. The people stopped to gaze at her. Two young men who were standing in the lobby spoke of her when she passed, as they, too, gazed. Ah! at last she had arrived, one was saying.. Yes. that was Madam Lucille Reneur, the wonderful pianist, who was to play. VVhat? it was pretty late? Yes, they sometimes are late- these artists. But oh, yesg Reneur was worth waiting for. Lucille Reneur was soon in her dressing room. She was nervous to- night. That Was strange because, Well-it wasn't a bit like her to be nervous. But to-night it was different! He had said he would be somewhere in the great audience. VVhat was it he had said afterwards? She couldn't remem- ber! She was vexed with herself for not being able to. But no, she must be calm now, and do her best for-him! It would not be difficult to do that. Would hereally be there? She had been informed that every seat had been sold. It was always so now, when she played. VVell, she had Worked hard for just this. Only she alone knew how hard. She had wanted the glory and honor of it all, and she now had it. But to-night she would not play for the great mass of people, she would put her soul into her music, yes, she felt she was going to play well, but not for them, for him! Ah! at last she was calm. What? it was time to begin? Well, yes, she was ready! That night the audience was thrilled by her music as it had never been before. She was playing to-night! Indeed, she was putting her whole soul into her music. She was telling him what she dared not say in words. Would he understand? She felt that he would. As she made her last triumphant bow, she strained her eyes to see if she could see him, but in vain. At last she was back in her dressing room which was showered with Howers. She had ceased to thrill at the sight of these tokens of appreciation. She only stopped a moment, and glanced at them, and then sat down at her dressing table. Why didn't he come to congratulate her? She had expected to find him waiting. Where could he-what was that her elbow had touched? She looked down and saw a small bouquet of flowers and a note. Why were they not with the rest of the flowers? They smelt so fresh, so sweet! She was afraid, of what she could not tell, as she gazed at the note hesitating to open it. Her name had been scrawled on it, by his hand. A sense of im- pending calamity overcame her. What did the fragrance of these flowers remind her of? She closed her eyes-clover! that was it! She opened her eyes and gazed about her. Where was she ?-- if PK if The sun had gone down. Had she been asleep so long? - Oh! it must be late! And, rearranging her hair hurriedly, Lucy sprang up from her bed of clover and ran down the hill, exclaiming as she went, Oh! I must hurry and dress for that social. And I haven't even practiced my piece! .9 5- Star Dust and Rent Money By Dorothy Harvey To him who is blessed with an imagination, surroundings are immaterial, things to be considered only in the most extreme cases. One of these cases presented itself to Rose, one morning, in the form of an irate landlady. The landlady was a cautious soul, whom long acquaintance with park- bench, unsalaried humanity had made distrustful. A week's salary in ad- vanceu was the slogan with which she greeted all boarders, particularly the hopeful paupers who expected tremendous sums of money next week, and whom she regarded with unbounded suspicion. Rose was out of this hope-to-get-rich-quick type. In fact, she never thought of money except for its convenience, now and then, in disposing of certain troublesome, unenlightened people who persisted in thinking that money really counted, and that sunsets, and singing birds, and all beautiful things did not matter. But then, Rose had had her Dream, and the creditors and landlady had not. The Dream was the most wonderful thing in Rose's life. It had come to her one evening as she lay on the worn sofa in a little two by four attic room, looking up through the skylight at the myriads of stars above. She watched them as they whispered mysteriously among themselves, and as they arranged themselves, under the orders of the Brightest Star, in a glorious Idea, an Idea so beautiful and unearthly, that it had blinded her eyes with tears. To say that she wrote it down would be an absurdity. She felt it down. And she guarded the paper containing the Idea, jealouslyg a secret too pre- cious to be shared. But stardust is not the stuff that rent is paid from, which brings us back to our starting point-the irate landlady. The landlady, upon being admitted to the room, stated the reason for her visit without mincing matters in the least, or troubling herself to be diplomatic. She had, contrary to her usual policy of business, not only not insisted on Rosels paying in advance, but had actually let her rent run for twc, whole weeks without putting her out. But matters had reached a climax. She could no longer bear the thought of having a boarder Whose rent was not paid. K She delivered her ultimatum to Rose, who listened with a sinking heart. Two days' grace were given her. If at the end of two days she failed to pay her rent, she would be without lodgings. After the thunder and lightning left the sky, the rain came in torrents. Rose Weptg not the tears of despair, but the tears of a mother who is com- pelled to sell her child as a slave. For Rose knew, even before the landlady left the room, that the idea would have to be sold. You recall the poem, no doubt, for it caused a tremendous upheaval in American literature, and became universally known. You doubtlessly envied the author of the poem her fame, as well as the fortune she made from it. But you didn't picture her in a little attic room weeping tears of sorrow and repentance as the stars gazed reproachfully at her through the skylight, now, did you? For, for her they had been shattered, the glory and the dream. -96- Paths By Helen Hodges It is seldom in our harsh-sounding English language, a word fits so per- fectly its meaning as does the word path. Its name fits as the bark does the tree, and the saying of it calls forth visions of the beckoning outdoors. Paths have always been from time immemorial the less frequented and more romantic way. We instinctively think of old England, of ladies and swains, of a wooded glen, of evening, and the path. 'Tis said there is a path leading from Stratford-on-Avon to Shottery with a stile-how stiles do go with paths !-more on the Shottery side, and in an evening if you will harken back you might have seen emerge from a little side gate in the vine-covered wall of a Shottery cottage a cloaked figure. At the same time from Strat- ford-'tis to be presumed the time had been so set-came a youth plumed and caped. Let us say 'twas because his steps were longer that they met at the stile. You have guessed who so frequented that path? Yes, 'twas Will Shakespeare and Ann Hathaway. There it was they met, talked, wooed and loved with naught but the path, the orbed moon, and the friendly stile as onlookers. But paths and stiles, like the moon, can be most unobserving. Yes, there it was our poet-dramatist of Romeo and Juliet chose for his love- scene a path. But 'twas also the time when loves were fought for in those days in Merrie England, when kings were kings through power alone, when nobles plotted, and were plotted against, and brother was against brother. So dark deeds stalked along those same paths-perhaps turning romance into tragedy. Then in those days of hospitality, the days of yesterday-and why is it we think of the times and places when houses were much farther apart than now?-there were always paths worn across the fields. Along that path neighbors came with that glass of jelly at preserving time, or hastened to ad- minister flrst-aid. I-Iow often they were used for those neighborly kindnesses that we associate with the informal back gate rather than the stiff front door and the street in front! Now we Wonder with a sigh if perhaps the streets aren't taking the place of the paths too much, and a mad rush the place of neighborliness. Is it because the paths are fewer that people, living so close to one another, are utter strangers? Is it because people's charities are so far-reaching that they forget the perhaps lonely person who may live next door? Is it because their intellectual development and mode of living may have become broader that they have forgotten the narrowness and heart- reaching qualities of that extra step, the winning smile, or of the friendly path? We have reason to wonder. Today paths mean but a fast-diminishing short cut across a vacant lot. Our man-made triumph, the machine, has robbed man of his birthright, the God given gift of walking, and has also robbed those few, who have kept their birthright, of the joy of the winding dirt road. The glaring asphalt pavements have cut into our lovely fieldsg they have robbed paths of much of their secludedness and most of their use. But no, the path is not extinct. In this highland park, surrounded by its rolling, wild-flowered hills, when open fields still show green between the houses, paths have not been banished entirely. Nor are they useless, for to youngsters there is still the same call. VV'hy do children's feet instinctively turn onto a path? Is it the joy of feeling they have beat themselves around the corner, or it is that feeling of the bare feet on the -Mother Earth and the ...Q 71 fascination of that track of foot prints? It is there the busy mother can always find her children trooping home at the call to supper, while it is always by way of the back-gate path that the trifle-late business man rushes to work. To me the call of the path is impelling-that elusive, turning, beckoning bit of worn earth. That call is a lesser Wanderlust, and the path 'is a substi- tute for the open road, which, when tried, has all the fascination of the broader way. I have felt that wander-feeling which comes keener to men- the more adventuring-but which is innate in all of us, though perhaps sup- pressed. That wanderlust is but the reaction from the seeming monotony of the same familiar surroundings without realizing that it is those homey, familiar things we love. But impetuous Youth becomes tired of the scarred morris-chair, the same lack of paint on the old home, the same habitual quiet- ness or the noise of children's voices. Could Youth but realize that the old morris-chair, which was marred by their childish play, is still as restful, that the old home would look garish if painted, if made to doff its familiar weath- ered brown! Could they but realize that the tree-shaded home whose quiet- ness now palls, will sometime be a longed-for haven of rest. Did they but know the angle of the call of the path atop the hills, there would be less im- patience and desire in the heart of Youth to go away, and less sorrow in the Mother heart. And this is the charm of its magic: There are those days when all goes wrong. It is then I drop my work-that essay that I simply cannot write-- and go for a run over the spring-green hills. There, with the hill-top path winding and dipping before me, and with the wind in my face, or at my back just blowing me along, my perspective changes. The view from that hill path makes me see things in a saner light. And those worries which but now seemed so large begin to look petty-the wind which has rumpled my hair has blown my irritation entirely away. VVhen I come back I wave gaily to that house standing above the others amid its trees: I take a deep breath of the lilacs as I pass them in the garden, and give my essay a joyful pat, for: God's in His Heaven, All's right with the World. I-Iow many things, then, the path suggests! - To Youth on the eve of decision, it carries with it the symbol of the life path. Will it, we wonder, watching the shimmering path of the western sun leading to the islands, bring us to the attainment of heart's desire? Will it be as the rainbow, its glamour beckoning us, having a promise of gold, but fleeting? Will it lead along that harder and more rugged way-like that of the mountain tops-to reach that far harder peak: achievement of fame? Or will it, as the hill path, lead'to the hill-top of life or to the nestling valley of contentment? But wherever it may lead, may there walk the path with us a bit of romance, much of happiness, and most of friendship, which is truly the best of memory. ' fl-' '.f J ffl. , is .- :i:a0l4Pl4Pl4flf:xf:zf -..gg- Scholarship By Anna Fitzhugh One must work out his own theory regarding scholarship. He must first clearly define in his own mind what he considers the essential qualities of a good scholar. Is one to judge from application to study alone, or are friendliness, good sportsmanship and leadership to be included? I hold the first essential to be the ability to think clearly. That implies decisiveness of character, and has as a result quickness to grasp lessons in or out of books. Of great importance to our scholar-he who loves real study for the pleasure of it-are the hours he spends in thoughtful consideration of his subject. He cannot measure his houris accomplishment in number of pages or in fact value, but rather will it add to his richness of mind. There are few of us who will not say, I love to readf' that is, to turn the pages of a beautiful book, learning the thoughts of the author. But, to me, there is more pleasure in going to the depths of my subject, in finding the author's reasons for his attitude and beliefs, and in weighing them with my own, or perhaps adding them to my own. Painful digging, I think, is self-created. Enjoy- ment is in part determined by the attitude in which one begins a pleasure or a task. In' fact, I become ever more certain that this is true. I find that I can enjoy the carrots that I once thought most distasteful and I can become tremendously fascinated with the discoveries I make in the pages of my his- tory book if I will but say to myself- This is to be a pleasure, I shall enjoy it. I cannot study for so long a time as I would sometimes desire. It is true that a few minutes of steady concentration will store in one's mind much more of the day's lesson than will an hour's dreamy browse. I can read every word in a paragraph-read it aloud and with tolerable expression and when I have finished Find that I know not a whit of its message, and again in an instant's time I am able to glean a vast amount of fact from a few lines. It is the endeavor of the mind that counts. Sometimes the freshness of the mind is the greatest factor. There is the desire to learn a lesson, but the senses are dulled. Qne is sleepy, one yawns and rubs one's eyes. It is time to leave off studying and to go to bed, then how fine it is to wake in the morning, to rise clear-minded and refreshed for two or three hours of the mind's most acute functioning. The picture we are given of such a student as Macaulay, pouring for hours over ponderous volumes, is inspiring Cthat is, his accom- plishments are inspiringj, but for the average mind such strain does not prove to be wise. Natural students, above all others, are apt to neglect health in the pursuit of food for thoughtf' Such dissipation Cfor that it really isj enriches the mind but shortens its usefulness. Together with a desire for knowledge and the mood for study must come an ability to digest and to comprehend. There, too, must be wisdom in choice of subject matter. How unfitting for a prosy, unpractical person to spend much time in the perusal of texts of landscape gardeners. It is unfor- tunate that many of our student classes put off the studying that they might enjoy if done at the proper time and then, of necessity, resort to cramming. Several good doses of cramming are enough to ruin a natural love for study for a time, at least. But this is not a sermon on procrastination and a Proper-true student could not be guilty of such a trick. -99-- I confess I am not so insatiable as to be ever longing for time to study. Perhaps I am not a real artist in conning the printed page for I am, at times, fully as well contented with my sewing or household duties or even in my harmless frivolities as I am snuggled in my corner with a book. Though, on the other hand, I am never better pleased than when I canM browse or share my subject with a friend. When I have come to full maturity and have been able to give of my thoughts and of my life to others, I should like to have it said of me, She is a student. And I do not want that to mean, She is a book-worm, or, She cares for her books, and not a thing else. But I would have it carry with it the very broadest meaning. She has read and studied a greatldealg she has learned that to be essentially and quite simply human is an accom- plishment, the accomplishment above all others, and that reading from books is only a part of a true student's life. I am glad that I delight to study books, and people and things,-that I can be to others worthy of study. I like the old artist's motto which is- The lyf so short, the craft so long to lernef' It comes to me not as a lament, as perhaps he meant it, but rather as a comfort, for it assures 'me that there will always be something more aheadg in our short lives we cannot learn all that this great world holds for us of knowledge and love and beauty. There is ever more to learn and ever and ever there is the striving to help others. :x:a0l0l4 345149521 AU REVOIR TO F. H. S. A word to you, dear F. H.

Through the holes these men made our backs rabled to touchdowns. Eagle your eyes on these boys next year. Theodore Brobst-The wail of our rabid fan is, If only Rats'l were a little bigger. Rats is notable for being the hardest tackler on the team and that is something for the smallest man on the team to be able to say. john Turner-Johnny's motto is, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. johnny helped put the fight in Franklin. He's one of the old reliables. VVatch him next year. Bud Sumner-To Bud and to Bud alone is due the majority of the credit for our victory over So. Pasadena. Three minutes to play. ln went Bud. There followed a demonstration of head work hard to beat. One and all, we are sorry to lose Buddie. Phillip Cuthbert-Une hundred and fifty pounds of pure grit and fight sums up the opinion the fans have of Phil. They say this year was his first year at football. lf so may he have many more like it. Base ba ll-Con tinued fF1'0m Page OSj Michael Godett-Third base, the corner of hot ones, was where Mike showed his ability at handling the ball and at the plate he was always a demon willow swinger. Albert Stein-Another of the First year ball wizards who certainly had the goods when it came to fielding the li'l ol' apple. Joe Berry-Without a doubt the smallest man that ever played on a Franklin team. The other teams could not quite understand why Berry played while a lot of other giants sat on the bench, until about the second inning. Herman Darling-A fielder of the first class. Sure and steady was the way Darling Worked. ln the games Herman played, he played good ball. Beware next year, you aspirants for fielder's position, of Herman Darling. Bud Sumner--ln behalf of the basketball and baseball men, we thank Buddie Sumner for his untiring efforts as manager. Clean towels were for once always on hand. Bud surely deserves his manager's letter. Substitutes, Et Cetera-VVhy Franklin High School students wait until their senior year or wait until the middle of the season before trying out their powers is beyond comprehension. Some of the following men would probably be first-class men if they had not been so slow to respond: Lee McTm'nan, substitute outfielder, was a heady and scrappy ball player whose lack of experience kept him from making a letter. Robert Plank and John Fogarty are a couple of fellows who deserve a good deal of credit for their pluck. Joe Parrish, second string pitcher, showed that a good athlete can do almost anything in athletics. Joe came out ever and anon and during those brief times showed all that he was the same old Joe. Bob Kleinpell is gradually waking up to the fact that he can play ball. If Bob doesn't pitch his way to a letter next year, he will surprise us all. jack Bender deserves a pat on the back for the way he worked forthe team. Special men- tion should be made of Crandall, and Joe McNiel, who were ruled out on ineligibility rules.

Our students who are in col- leges are using their Shorthand to the extent of getting everything, while their classmates are labor- iously endeavoring to take a few longhand notes. In the commercial field, it is un- necessary to state the fact that Shorthand is a most valuable asset for the avenage young entrant therein, certainly, it is an open sesame thereto. The point of this letter, however, is that a thorough knowledge of this valuable subject can be ob- tained under our original presen- tation in from two to three months. Write for our free Booklet of Let- ters from Students for further in- formation along this line. EMMA R. WAY, Convention Reporter, Mgr.
