Mist like, pinkish, faintly luminous Sunrise—glowing color—burnished gold, Sacred stillness softness-peace. Gleaming lights a turbulent sea, Blue'black clouds, threatening warlike. Presaging storms, creeping stealthily; Whispered warnings—beckoning fancies. Verdant slopes. Faint alluring Visions. Towering castles in the air, Holding in their vague aloofness, Dreams—fantasies the future! A. E. P., December, '24. Dedication Page 2 Faculty ....

H. S. will be a happy one. The Journal December 1924 Felicia, the Happy One She sat smiling in a sunny corner of the old Veronese market-place. Hunchback though she was, her heart was light, and she called her wares joyously, did Felicia, the happy one. The pageantry of color that was Verona swept endlessly by, some folk buying, others merely feasting their eyes, still others strolling aimlessly, lost in thought. Felicia loved them all, but heeded none after the one she most longed for had passed by without noticing her outstretched blossoms. He was sad, was young Mario, and Felicia’s heart became a leaden thing at the sight of his white face, and the realization of her own help- lessness. Carelessly leaving her wares, the maid wandered aimlessly about, crying in her soul’s agony that she could do nothing for the one she loved with all her whole misshapen being. In desperation, she sought the quiet cathedral, and before the holy altar, breathed an anguished prayer to the Blessed Virgin. Once more at her stand she waited wearily, and the long black shad- ows were creeping over the now empty street, when at last he came again. Felicia did not see him for her eyes were blind with tears; but her heart knew and throbbed with the painful joy of seeing him again. He spoke, and his voice was hollow, tortured, as if the very heart of him were dead. ’‘Felicia, a white rose for a dead love—to place upon the aching altar of—my heart. How much?” Her sorrow seized her throat in a choking grasp, so that she could only lift a white blossom gently, hand it to him whispering: 'Tis nothing. Take it. May it may it—bring thee—peace.” She was ashamed of her tears, for who was she, to weep for the highest born in Verona? He gazed upon her pitiful face, and softly said: ‘‘Felicia, thy heart is like thy pure, white rose; but peace cannot come to a heart tortured as mine is tortured.” He started slowly on, and Felicia’s heart broke. Suddenly she heard him cry out — and then the clash of steel smote her numbed senses. Scarce knowing what she did, the grotesque little hunchback ran toward the sound. She saw and terror tore her heartstrings. A duel—flash of steel December 1924 The Journal Mario—a rapier leveled at his breast. It happened so quickly—she ran between a sword thrust—agony—and she lay in Mario’s arms. “My life— ’tis nothing—so I—save thine. May the—rose—bring thee—peace.’’ And Mario knelt, kissing the still lips of Felicia, the Happy One. Grace Luscombe, December, '24. Ghosts Wings! more wings Rushing softly Thru the humid, desert air; Searching for the Canyon de los Suenos. Wary ghosts, who flutter blindly In the Valle de la Muerte of Baja California. Dreamers, miners— Seeking, crushing silver Searching for water In the barren Cactus lands. Wasted skeletons, Earth'bound ghosts, Whimpering shades of Prospectors— The Harvest of the Baja California. Millicent B. Benioff, December, '2 4 The Journal December 1924 T3he Sea at Sunset Calm waters, crystal clear, Moving slowly, softly. Flowing on to eternity. Whispering waters, cool, deep, and quiet, Mirroring the drowsy sky and evening star. A blaze of crimson where the Sea meets sky, Golden fire-ripples, mingling With deep purple, Like flames flickering on an amethyst brooch. Grace Luscombe, December 24. T30 a Water Lily In gleaming quiet of wood-land lake Thou liest, serene, perfect, pure. Lifting thy chalice ever upward Toward sky, toward golden sun, toward God. What wonders thou dost know, unknown To man, since dwelling, nymph-like, in the forest Thou knowest naught of evil, strife, or war, Of pain, of suffering, of despair, Thou water-nymph with golden locks, Thou sprite of white and gold, oh water lily! Grace Luscombe, December ’24. I 30! December 1924 The Journal TYCodern Titojave Two men were seated around a crackling, cheery campfire. The savory smell of frying bacon rose upon the cold air of the Little Mojave, mingling with the pungent odors of the sage and scanty brushwood. Toward the west, a young moon swung low, gleamed faintly on the sand dunes and the distant snow'topped peaks of Suicide Range. “Great place, isn't it?” remarked Sparks, the elder of the two. Bud nodded, silently reaching for more bacon. He was too hungry and too happy to talk. Again the men ate in silence. From the distance the yelping of a coyote came, shrill and eery. Bud sighed, looking with regretful eyes at the empty bacon pan. “Shall we begin now?” he said. “May as well,” responded Sparks. “Where shall we start lemme see that pile of boulders seems pretty high. We can rig her up there,” pointing to a jagged pile of rocks, silhouetted against the sky a few paces from the fire. Bud scrambled to his feet. Going to the packs he selected and opened a queer bundle. “Come on, Sparks, he said, beckoning to his friend. “I’m not going to do all the dirty work.” “All right -all right! What’s your hurry? It’s only seven o’clock now.” Sparks came to the youngster’s aid lazily. They worked silently for a while. Finally the simple apparatus was set up. Bud took a small black box close to the fire. “Let’s go!” he said. “Come on,” grunted Sparks seating himself by the fire again. “Sit down!” Bud fussed with his little box. The night grew dark. A coyotte’s yap- ping was heard very close at hand. A rattlesnake slid hastily through the glare of the fire. “Listen, Sparks! It’s working,” roared Bud as he heard a faint buzz. Sparks leaned forward—the coyote pricked his ears in dumb aston- ishment- the rattlesnake scudded under a rock—and the silence of the desert was broken by the call: RADIO KPO Hale Bros., Incorporated, San Francisco Also the broadcasting headquarters for the Call: We take pleasure in announcing Finis Millicent Benioff.

Well, I had a sort of idea, but I don’t know how it would work. All [Eagerly]: Tell us about it! Mad: Well, I thought if we could have a Mother Goose affair, it would be kinda different, but I can’t think of a plot. Marie [Calling to other side of room]: Ape, come here quick! [Ape arrives with glasses on end of nose, a dummy journal in her hand, and sits down.] Mad: What do you think of a Mother Goose play? Ape [Excitedly]: Mad! Mad: Huh? Ape: Isn’t that funny!

The Journal December 1924 T3he Fiesta The soft music of guitars, the barbarous clicking of castanets, and the taps of high heels on the floor, announced that the ball was in full whirl. Below the shaded lights could be seen dark haired beauties, covered by bright shawls and filmy mantillas, dancing with gala arrayed youths. A balmy Indian Summer weather lent atmosphere to the Fiesta. Spanish California, with its inseparable companions, Romance, Love, Beauty, Gayety, and Music, was in all its glory! Now the bright colors flashed in a tango, then in a lilting waltz, and again blazed forth in a wild jota. On the flowering terraces, youth gave itself to the mystic influence of the night. Its laughter died to dreaminess, and with amorous whisper ings and shy glances confessing untold secrets, all obeyed Cupid, sent there on a ray of moonlight. Pledges were made on the way back to where the muse of dance and song held sway. Another tango, another riotous jota! Flashes of brilliance! Whirl pools of dazzling color! A sea of life and youth! The music of the guitars fainted to silence. The castanets were life less. The tapping heels were gone. The moon was sinking over dark heads dreaming about the morrow and . . . The morning papers all declared that Mrs. Smith’s Early California Ball participated in by society’s younger set, was a great success. Alyce Robert, December, ’24.

Merril December ig 24 The Journal Editorial The theme of school spirit has been illuminated and enlarged upon many times in the past, without due recognition having been given to the most important factor in the upbuilding of a first' class school—the “all-round girl.” She is not a reality in most cases as yet. She is a hope, a prayer, a vision of the future. She is both a possibility and a probability, because she is, after all, a human being, the finished specimen of many evolutions of school girls. She is not perfect, but her faults are such that they enrich, rather than impoverish, her. Such a girl is just a “good pal,” who has cultivated the art of making many friends of many tastes, and of keeping them. She can sympathize with girls who indulge in all the activities, as she makes it her business to try as many activities as she can without damaging her ability to uphold her scholarship and her health. She is a modern Napoleon or Caesar, who can do two or three things at once and do them well. Hers is the happy ability that enables her to be a basket ball star, and still shine, a brilliant (though not too brilliant) star in her classes. She can play vigorously, joyously and whole-heartedly and, when the recreation period is over, she can settle down to work and put her whole mind and soul into the job of making a success of whatever she attempts. She is clever enough to win the regard and admiration of both faculty and fellow students, yet she is never a “prig,” never a recluse, tirelessly forsaking the common joys of comradeship for ceaseless study. She is glad she is alive and she knows it at every turn. Her school is her world, and she tries to brighten it by enjoying it herself to the utmost. Whether she wins or whether she loses in her con- tests, matters little, because she is a thorough good sport, to whom defeat and victory are the same. She helps herself by helping others, and in so doing, helps her school. But she is no ministering angel of grace that cloys her every helpful deed with sugar-coated morals and thinly veiled martyrdoms. She gives the best that is in her to whatever task her school sees fit to offer her, puts it over and turns back for more. She is the embodiment of the much-talked-of school spirit, the only one from which it can originate. She is the backbone, the hope of this great institution. Let us help to bring about her evolution from the masses of good material in our midst. We can and must develop her, for she alone can lead our school to higher fields of glory. Be the coming years common- place, dull, or filled with rosy-hued promise, with her rests the future! The Journal December 1924 Clubs DEBATING CLUB There was a club, oh, so serious, It drove its contestants furious. For all their debaters Were argument makers, And made other schools delirious. 142 3 S. P. A. There was a club so athletic And jolly—it is pathetic. They won every game. The whole city knows its fame To measure it, would be hectic! DRAMATIC CLUB There was a club much applauded. All gifted girls, it supported. Mary, Come Out of the Kitchen,” Was the play that was given, Which made the best hit recorded. December 19 24 The Journal J 1 ORCHESTRA There was a club so musical, Its effect on an audience Twas a miracle. Twould be both sad and gay, As the music it would play. Which was so charming and lyrical. GLEE CLUB There was a club that was sweet, Its singers could not be beat. If we sing day and night, Our future will be bright, And our rep—we are sure to keep.” DANCING CLUB There was a club that was merry, Its dancers were light as a fairy. At the Civic they danced, Pirouetted and pranced. And graceful they were, oh very!

McNamar £ 461 December ig24 The Journal Qheering fflub Every individual fighter in an army needs encouragement through the call of the bugle and the roll of the drum. By means of them, that for which he is fighting, his country’s honor, is kept fore- most in his mind. Without them the backbone of his spirit col- lapses. Just so does every girl who participates in contests with other schools for the honor of Girls High, needs encouragement. This is shown to her, not by the call of the bugle and the roll of the drum, but by the cheers and songs of her fellow students. They keep before her mind’s eye, that which she must do her best to uphold, the honor of Girls High School. Our new Cheering Club ably serves as a call to battle in more ways than one. Yet it was not created to flatter the vanity of the girl it cheers, but to keep up her spirit, and to show her that we all stand back of her effort to win glory for the school. It is because cheering a contestant to further the honor of her school is a necessity, that this newest club ought to be given the recognition and support it deserves. Its president, Elsie Jacobsen, deserves credit for her efforts in making the club a success. Long may it live!

When your teachers compare notes. 2. When you are invited to step into Dr. Scott’s office. 3. When you are asked to remain in the same room another term. 4. When your father asks, at the dinner table, to see your report card. 5. When your teacher rings up your mother to verify your excuse. 6. When everything (picture, name, and contributions) but the girl, herself, graduates. “How long,” she asked blushing, “must one beat a cow to make it give whipped cream?” Wynette Levy: “I don’t think I deserve zero on this examination.” Miss F.

Hear your mother's call at 7:30. Arise slowly—not surely. Dress in a half hour. Eat no breakfast. Run three blocks miss a street car and decide to walk. Arrive at school at 8:22 and discover that a teachers' meeting is in progress. Say your prayers, and give thanks. Then pinch yourself and wake up this is a dream. It may happen but it never has tome!

Hannay ire wish to thank Miss Browning and members of the Faculty Rally Committee for their kind assistance A SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL h � 2 careful planning is the basis for a successful annual, but the best-laid plans will go awry unless their execution is placed in the hands of a printer experienced in school annual work. Our School Annual Department has back of it many years of experience in planning and producing better annuals. We know the “hows” and “whys” of pro- ducing them quickly and economically, and can give you “idea” assistance that will help to make your annual different. Our planning system makes it possible to handle out-of-town work almost as efficiently and quickly as though you were located next door. Start early to plan next year's annual, and start right by calling on our School Annual Department. §
