To the youth, memories bring enter- tainment as parents or friends reminisce and relate incidents of yesterday. To the aged, memories give comfort in renewing the acquaintance of old friends and renewing adventures of earlier life. The Journal brings memories to you. TO GIRLS IIIOII SCHOOL N past years, fire and earthquake have combined in an effort to destroy it; yet each time they have found a spirit too fine to be killed. Our school cannot be destroyed. It lives because we love it, because we honor and uphold its standards and traditions. It lives because it sends into the world fine, well-trained women im- bued with the spirit of service. We humbly and lovingly dedicate our Journal of June, Nineteen Thirty-four, to our revered Girls High School. Page Four THE JOURNAL s JUNE 1934 filHLS HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY CHARLES C. DANFORTH.

Page Eight THE JOURNAL s JUNE 1934 THE members of our student group, again, have shown most positively that constructive leadership which has been so noticeably evident in the history of our beloved institution. We are the first of all the San Francisco high schools to discontinue the term publication of our Journal, concentrating instead on an annual issue, published in the spring and devoted to the annals of both classes of the calendar year. Let it be our earnest resolve that Girls High continues to develop that spirit of independent thinking and concise action so needed in effective leadership of today. THE JOURNAL � JUNE 1934 Page Nino 5tEP by step, slowly and surely, We climb the ladder; Each step brings us nearer To the goal of higher knowledge— Such is the process of education. M. Ballard M. Guidi V. McGaha C. Donovan P. Fallehy M. Tenorio HIGH SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ........ Vice-President.... Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms Cheer Leaders... Cecelia Mailis Maxine Ballard Virginia McGaha Phyllis Fallehy Catherine Donovan Mary Guidi, Margaret Tenorio THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Page Eleven JOSEPHINE ACETO tunes the violin every day; Her fingers spell the music—listen to her play. RUBY AMES after school is content When she plays in a tennis tournament. That bright little miss, MATILDA ARMSTRONG. Is self-controlled; so she seldom is wrong. MAXINE BALLARD’S latest craze Is Listen, kid! —her favorite phrase. RENE BARBIERI is terribly small— This senior’s not yet five feet tall. A capable student is VIRGINIA BAUCK; As one of the debaters, she certainly can talk. If VIRGINIA BELASCO can't be found anywhere, Look in the caf6—she's sure to be there. EILEEN BENTLEY is kind and sweet, She's the very girl you'd like to meet. ADALINE BIGGS is liked by all, She’s the type for whom everyone'd fall. MARGARET BLAUER is crazy about insects; She gazes at their good points—but never finds defects. ANNA BRUN had plenty of work to do In order to present this Journal to you. For BARBARA BURNS we now must look; Oh! There she is! Behind that book. For all the programs we've had to plan, We've tried to get yodeling MARIE CADIGAN. BENILDE CARDINALE has nought to say, But flits through the day feeling quite gay. HELEN CHAN, many friends has she; It s because of her kindness and sweetness, you see. No relation to Helen is JENNIE CHAN; We'll try to remember that if we can. LILA CHANDRA is covered with printers’ dye— In Mirror and Journal, she works for Girls High. MARY CHESHIRE is one good actress—we say. Wasn't she grand in the High Senior play? Cute DORIS CHIAPPARI will never be Herd up for a husband—wait and see. EMMA CHRISTENSON hopes to find A boy friend with a master mind. To little Miss DORIS CLARK High School has been quite a lark. EVELYN CLOW gets A s all the time. Need we say more to make a rhyme? ADA COBURN has studied hard. Which entitles her to a very good card. CLEMENTINA CUNHA certainly can sing; She can make music out of anything. BLANCHE DAMONTE has obeyed every rule During her four years at Girls High School. MARION DAVIS would fight a duel For Margery, her chum through school. MARJORIE DAVIS is a friend worth while: She’s always there to give us a smile. MARI DE LANEY will always say. At Girls High School she has enjoyed her stay. FLORENCE DEUTSCH was grand, we’d say. As the dashing young officer in the High Senior play. CATHERINE DONOVAN gave the alarms When she was the seniors’ Sergeant-at-Arrns. If you want to know the words to a song, Ask PHYLLIS FALLEHY—you’ll never be wrong. ELIZABETH FISHER’S real first name? We really don't know—it’s never tho same. VERA FLOWERS is lovely and sweet, Her calmness and shyness are hard to beat. A very studious girl is ELIZABETH FLOYD; When studying she hates to be annoyed. MOLLY FUJISAKI is new to our school; She gets along splendidly—always calm and cool. MITSU FUJIWARA s a very clever child; Though she is jolly, she's very shy and mild. l r ESTELLE FURLANICH is pleasant to meet; A friend that is kind and always sweet. YEIKO FURUKI can knit and can sew; She can do the things a dressmaker should know. At Girls High, NANCY GELARDI would like to stay; She says she ll be lonesome when she goes away. MEDGIA GIACOSA is never given to dejection; Maybe that accounts for her lovely complexion. BERNICE GILLAM is a splendid usher, She’ll say stop, if you try to rush her. EVA GILLIAM keeps trying to reduce. But with candy around she just cuts loose. LILI GIORGI never fails to take part In the International Club, when activities start. LEAH GOLDMAN always does her share In the library, when Miss Michel's there. MARY GUIDI is a tiny child, But in the Senior play, she wasn't mild. One of the red heads of our class Is dashing, young Miss LOUISE HAAS. ROSE MARIE HAAS has only one word to say, She’ll always boost for the S. P. A. A smart Miss is ALFRIEDA HAASE; The English A she can easily pass. VERA HAMILTON is one peppy leader; No matter what happens, you'll fail to mislead her. HANNY HENNING'S language source Is German, her favorite course. EDITH HUTCHINSON just loves to chew gum, We wonder what she'd do if she had none. JUNE IRWIN, filled with kindness and grace, Is more than an asset to any place. EMMA JOHNSON is new at this school, But she never disobeys a single rule. HELEN JORDAN is one straight gal — Who wouldn’t want her for her pal? MONA KANTNER, with hair so fair, Has gone through Girls High without a care. Shy TOSHI KATAOKA from Japan, Is gentle and quiet like the girls in her land. MAXINE KUNGNER is an S. P. A. child; When shes not playing, she's very mild. MARIAN KNUDSEN'S friendship's worth while; You'll know that when you see her smile. REIKO KUMEKAWA is clever and smart, Although she is small, she has a large heart. Mischievous, dare-devil PATSY LANE In G. H. S. has raised holy Cain. TAMARA LASHKEVICH has many nice traits; We know that she'll always be busy with dates. CAROLINE LAZZARI is sorry to go. Who isn’t sorry? We'd like to know. A very nice girl is little JOY LEE. She's always as happy as she can be. Another nice girl is AGNES LEONG. We know we'll miss her when we re gone. JEAN LYNCH, with her happy smile, We'll see her at U. C. after a while. The teachers’ delight is LENA MAFFEI, She is studious and bright, yet knows how to play. CECELIA MAILIS had a pretty hard task, But she was a success as Prex of the class. ANGELINA MANIS will miss us, we know, Because we ll miss her when it’s time to go. JANE MARX is chief of the mob, Call for justice,” and she's there on the job. VIRGINIA McGAHA will probably be A gym teacher—we'll watch and see! An usher of worth is MAXINE McKAOUN, Circumstances could never keep her down. SARAH McNISH will readily admit That in her classes she likes to knit. GOSPAVA MILINOVICH certainly has a name, And with it, without doubt, she has risen to fame. HELEN MILLAR is a clever gal, We'll probably see her next at Cal. YOLANDA MOLENDI is a mighty high senior; Everyone knows her—those who have seen her. DOROTHY MORIYAMA is very sweet, Her poise and patience are hard to beat. For Commissioner of Finance, we had HELEN MORSE, Was she a success? We all say, Of course. MARIE MURPHY will never need a physician, Her sports and athletics insure her disposition. MARY NAEHNADEL, we re certain, will be A keen librarian, wait and see. HARUKO NAKAJIMA s just the right sort; She’s considerate, friendly—a wonderful sport. KIYOKO NISHIKAWA has a sweet, lovely face; Her manners are charming and dainty with grace. VERDA NOETHER is a clever lass, She proves that in the newswriting class. MARIE NOSEK is far from tall; In other words, she's very small. ELIZABETH NYSTROM gets her homework done; That is the reason she is full of fun. HELEN OGNEFF is a splendid athlete: Take a tip—she's hard to beat. MARI OKAZAKI is clever indeed— Mainly because she loves to read. RHODA OLUND is always happy and kind; Maybe it's her nature, or maybe it's her line. NOBU OMORI is crazy about history; Why she gets A is really no mystery. MAY OVERMOHLE is always ready to do Anything she can, just for you. MARIE LOUISE PAINE is stately and slim, She’s full of laughter, jokes, and vim. EVELYNNE PATE was easily made The senior orchestra's essential aid. DOROTHY PEPPER is lively and gay. She s a peach of a sport in every way. ELAINE PETSAKOS, interested in art. Gives posters to her friends to cart. PHYLLIS POSENER is always gay: She studies and works, but knows how to play. We know ELLEN PRESENTI will always come To visit Girls High, for she's been our chum. PANSY QUANDT always leaves her seat To help Miss Castelhun with the absentee sheet. SALLY RASMUSSEN is tall and blond. She’s a pretty girl of whom we're fond. DOROTHY REDDEHASE is terribly tall. So she was a guard in Captain Ball. AMPARO ROBLES finds life worth while. And that's the reason she will always smile. LOUISE SAIKI is always laughing and gay. She jokes and she smiles through most of the day. We wonder what MARIE SALLES would do Without Helen Jordan. Are you wondering too? EDA SANDONA. we know, will say, I'll come back to visit Girls High some day.' LOUISE SCHMIDT sews with great skill And no doubt a happy home she’ll fill. A fine little actress is HARRIET SCHMIDT, She proved that in every dramatic club skit. ELINOR SEELEY receives our affection, Especially when she writes for the literary section. Never daunted is AMOUR SHERRY, She's always laughing and always merry. IDA SHIMANOUCHI'S passion is to debate. She has won several contests up to date. TATIANA SIRKIN—does she rate? Ask the ushers—they say she’s great! MAXINE SIRRO likes candy and cake, Though neither one does she know how to make. BARBARA SMITH would like to park On the Berkeley doorstep of Miss Clark. MARION SPRENSER has little to say, She'd rather work than waste time away. THELMA STANLEY has never faced the Court, Which proves to us she's a very good sport. ILA STONEY is tall and fair, With nice blue eyes and long blond hair. IRENE STRONG is vivacious and gay, She knows how to work and she knows how to play. A school life MARIE SWEENEY could fancy Would be seven gym periods with Miss Clancy. KAZUE TANIGUCHI has a pretty large name; But the wonder of it all—she's a very small dame. To describe EVELYN TEGLIA we need but one word; Not to write intelligent is truly absurd. MARGARET TENORIO had an easy task Because she knew how to cheer for the senior class. LYNDELL THORUP works for the school, She tags all those who break the rule. ELEANOR TILFORD always debates, It's a force of habit, but she certainly rates. MARY ALICE TORRENCE is sometimes late; It's the twelve-twenty bell that rings her fate. BEATRICE TREADWELL is calm, sedate, and cool In debating, and also as prex of the school.

This team carried debating honors of the school to a very high peak last term by having won the League decision debates with Lowell and Galileo; and, this term, by having defeated the debating teams of Continuation and Balboa High Schools.

The Alumnae Association now supports three scholarships. The funds for carrying on this work are raised at the annual party—generally a bridge tea—where graduates from all classes meet and renew old friendships. In years to come, don't miss the fun of attending one of these affairs and meeting some of your classmates whom you haven’t seen since gradua- tion. You'll enjoy it. Make the annual Alumnae party a yearly habit and plan a class reunion for the next one. One of the most popular of the sections of the Alumnae Association is the Dramatic Reading Section, which meets on the second Monday of each month at 1:45 o'clock, at Mr. Ronald Telfer's Studio, 525 Sutter Street. Mr. Telfer reads the newest plays, and so the members have the privilege of hearing the latest Broadway successes before they are brought to San Francisco. Join the Alumnae Association.

Girls High School has accomplished almost as remarkable an achievement in developing the present S. P. A., with its widespread activities, out of a small club which upheld few standards. The original idea of the new-born club (bom April 19, 1920) was: To learn not only the rules of the games, but also the secret of good sports- manship. It concentrated on a chosen few for the school team and class teams, with no thought of providing enjoyment for the large group of less skilled players. The ideal behind our present S. P. A. is unique. It believes that by eliminating skill as a requirement for making a team and by emphasizing the joy of friendship and playing the game for the game's sake, it pro- vides an opportunity for all girls to enjoy athletic activities. As far as we know, no other athletic association follows this principle. The branches of the 1934 oak tree stand for satisfactory scholarship, health standards, and normal weight. We S. P. A. members of today have in our hands the guardianship of this Club—its wealth of traditions and noble ideals. It is to the degree that we realize and appreciate those traditions and ideals that we can prove ourselves worthy of that guardianship. Our desire is to pass it on, enriched by our devotion. THE JOURNAL s JUNE 1934 Page Forty-nine DEAUTY is the desire of life. Beauty is the companion of truth. Beauty is the essence of love. In poetry and in prose One preceives a glimpse of this same beauty. VAGABOND CHILD I am off; I'm away; I’m as free as a bird. I can sing; I can dance with the wind that is heard; I can live; I can love in the out-of-door world. I can shout and defy all the snow that is hurled; I can laugh; I can sigh when the wind passes by; I can call to and follow the sun in the sky. I can frolic and play in the sunshine and light; I can sleep; I can dream in the stillness of night; I can roam and be free in the beauty and wild; I can live it and love it—I'm a Vagabond Child.

Jean Loehr, D '37 THE JOURNAL « JUNE 1934 Page Fifty-one JIM THORPE'S STORY JAMES THORPE was not a big, husky, broad-shouldered he-man, as one finds in all the best sellers; but rather small—some five foot eight. He was earning twenty dollars a week as a clerk at McDonald and Horton’s publishing company, reading copy. As an avocation he was an author—or hoped to be. The always present bustle of Monday morning had already started before Jim arrived at the office. He felt very confident of his ability and what success in his writing would mean. Visions of love in a vine-covered cottage with Lucy were constantly in his mind. As he entered the editor's office, where he read and corrected manu- scripts, a flow of words, quite unsuited for print, struck his ears. The editor was swearing volubly when Jim opened the door. Of all the silly drivel with which to waste my time, he yelled. Take a minute to see what she wastes postage on. Such good-for-nothing, time- wasting trash! Jim read. The manuscript, Southern Waters, was outrageous stuff, to be sure, but there was a germ of an idea running through it which Jim caught. His chief had not. Say, may I take this manuscript home and blue-pencil it? I have hopes of being able to run this into a fair example of a story, said Jim. Sure, take the thing home; I’m glad to see it go, replied the editor. Over the tree tops, the moon gently filtered its rays on the sleeping city. Stars were twinkling brightly in the dark sky. Gently, at irregular intervals, a light breeze would softly rise and fall to cool the calm, warm night—truly a lovers' night. Rose bushes twined themselves around the porch. Slowly swinging in the hammock sat two lovers. Paoe Fifty-two THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Lucy, Lucy, I—I want to tell you something. She quietly raised her honest, frank eyes and waited for him to continue. She felt in her heart that their precious moment had come. It happened in the office, he went on; the editor gave me a manu- script to read—. Lucy bit her lip in vexation. Jim then told her of having taken the theme of the manuscript and of his having developed it into a serial. He finished up by saying, I wouldn't mind even giving credit to the original author for the idea. What is the name of the manuscript? she sulkingly inquired, without a great display of interest. 'Southern Waters.' Lucy's sudden display of temper seemed inexplicable. Why had she sent him away with no explanation? The next morning he entered the office, still bewildered about last night's happenings. Here's what I’ve done with the 'trash' you presented me with yesterday. Hey, yelled the editor, as he finished reading. What is this? This story is about Alaska. That manuscript I gave you was about the South Seas! How come? But—but the story is all right. Isn't it? mumbled Jim. After I touch it up, replied the still puzzled editor. Who wrote 'Southern Waters'? questioned Jim. Someone by the name of Lucy Adams, answered the editor. Jim regained consciousness several hours later. All he could say was, Queer things, these women. Caroline Nelson, J '36 THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Page Fifty-three tiii: ska lien I traveled far, and my years of search were many. Into shadow-filled valleys I wandered. Over endless deserts I trekked, and my thirst For you was deeper than my thirst for water— But you were not there. To heaven-cooled mountain tops I pulled My weary body, only to find you still beyond me. Deep into dark and lonely caves I sought you; Over the seven seas I vainly sailed, But you were not there. At last, lonely and discouraged, I returned— My weary soul as tired as my body. There, wrapped in the serenity of my home, I rested; My hopeless days of despairing search, ended— But there you came to me. Eloise Manning, D '34 HOPE Hope, like a flaming sword In a starless night, Beckons me on to distant destinies; Encourages me—is my supplication. Never tired of ceaseless journeying, Never weary of the bitter struggle, Hope entices me onward To far horizons in life. Elinor Seeley, J '34 Page Fifty-four THE JOURNAL � JUNE 1934 WAR Bands playing; crowds cheering Men marching—marching still marching. Are they marching with death? Women waiting—watching still waiting. Are they waiting with death? Hearts bleeding; hearts breaking. Men marching in time to a tune with no rhyme. Death playing its song on the hearts of the throng. Still playing; still waiting. A song of blood and of slaughter— Of man’s life for hate or war's barter. Marching—marching— Trenches slippery with gore, Where laughter's no more. Only silence—and death Nothing more. Death stood— Stood laughing at us— Stood grinning at us— Taunting us; haunting us. O Christ—were You there? Dear God—did You hear? War—War—War— Blood—hate—gore— God—This is war. Barbara Root, J '36 THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Page Fifty-five KEJIXTK� Anyone interested enough to have climbed the four flights of stairs to the shabby room would have heard the click of Tom Hobbs' typewriter, as he put the finishing touch on his story. Folks in his home town always said that Tom had a streak of talent for writing, but somehow the editors didn't agree. Two or three of his stories had been accepted, and these had paid for his two meals a day and had kept him off the park bench. But the spark of encouragement became extinguished when his rapidly fading eyes fell on the pile of rejection slips on his desk. He had received so many of them that he knew by heart their cold, polite words. They were all alike: We regret to inform you that present conditions prevent us from using your story. We suggest, however, that you—etc., etc.— His supply of money was down to a meager two dollars, but what troubled him most was the doctors' hopeless verdict on his eyesight. Six months, they had said. Six months! Well, perhaps this last manuscript would make an appeal. He should be hearing results soon. The dismal wail of the foghorns on the bay was a fitting accompaniment to his gloomy thoughts when he received the letter. A piece of pink paper fluttered to the floor, unnoticed, whiie Hobbs slowly unfolded the note. His sight was so far gone that he was barely able to decipher the contents. A moan escaped his lips— A rejection slip! Straining his eyes he read: We regret to inform you that present conditions prevent us— What was the use of reading farther? He knew every word already. Page Fifty-six THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Three days later the neighbors reported that the writer fellow hadn't been seen for a few days. Breaking down the door, the police found the lifeless body of Tom Hobbs—and a pink slip. It read: We regret to inform you that present conditions prevent our placing you on our regular Short Story Staff, but any contribution will be carefully considered for publication. Enclosed you will find a cheque for seventy-five dollars for payment for the short story you sent. Sincerely, Charles Harris, Editor of Bead Publishing Co. Eloise Manning, D '34 LIFE As calm cool waters flow onward towards their destination: As the rose, in its budding, blooms with a sweet fragrance: As the bird in its flight soars onward and onward; As a child in its growth grows strong, pure, and free: As leaves that shed their careworn bodies in autumn; As a song that swells higher and higher and sinks into silence, So shall we live through life— Seeking, yearning for something true—eternal; Going forward with strong even steps of strength, Not heeding the past; not dreaming of the future; But living in the present. Lila Chandra, J '34 THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 Page Fifty-seven Till] MOON O solemn moon, who creeps along the silent skies, Peeping, peering, and sailing through the clouds, Crowning mountain tops with silvery, gleaming beauty, Casting mysterious shadows on your silent way Until you glide beyond the dawn into the sea of mystery— What lies beyond that distant dawn? That draws you so mysteriously into its depths Until you return to steal into the skies More beautiful than before? Pray tell me, moon, on thy journey into darkness and night Is life to be a mystery where our bright dreams die as yours? Or are we to return again as you appear at dusk, And again cast our rays over this earth, To brighten up the valley down below? Naomie Penland, D '34 MY DREAM GARDEN—A SONNET A bank of perky boxwood; waxen leaf, Smooth-clipped—that forms the garden wall, Where snail and angleworm do nightly crawl. There flowers bloom in joyous-colored sheaf: Star-grass and cyclamen beneath the feet Of billowy heather and snapdragon tall. A petal-pot of dew, bluebells recall, Hung high upon a stalk of green beneath. Oh, I shall take this splendor for my own, This jeweled flame among the tumbled stone, And twine a wreath of holly; I will make A dainty chain of daisies for joy's sake. But dav n draws near, and over is the night; My rosary of dreams is fled before the light. Helena O’Brien, J '35 Page Fifty-eight THE JOURNAL JUNE 1934 AFRICA I wish I were in Africa— That's where I long to go To ride on all the elephants And make them do just so. I'd go off in the jungle With a secret wish of mine— To see the mighty Tarzan A-swinging on a vine. I'd love to see the savages A-dancing in the night, But they'd not have to kill me, Because I'd die of fright. Marian Porter, J '39 OA A HILLTOP The sun has just dropped behind the distant hill. Above, wisps of pink- edged clouds are wafted along like apple-blossoms. The distance mellows and softens the gay laughter of children in the valley below, until it seems that the caressing breeze itself is playing through the forgotten pipes of some wild faun. I think that if I could stand here until I had become as patient and quiet as these rocks, as pliable as this willow branch, as tender and silent as the falling twilight I should intimately know both God and life.

ANI) THEY’RE CALLED STATIONARY ELEVATORS You walk into the building serene, happy, and thankful for the inven- tion of elevators which enable you to reach the thirty-fourth floor com- fortably, without walking. Stationary Elevators. You’ve seen the advertisement: They move, but you don't feel the motion. What a delusion and a snare! After a snap of the starter's fingers, the doors—your only means of escape—are closed. With a sickening gulp, you realize the elevator has started; yet you cannot feel it move. Your knees stiffen. Your stomach turns over. You become dizzy. Finally, at the twenty-third floor, the idea strikes you to get off and walk the rest of the way; but a little quick sub- traction still shows that eleven flights remain. Ten more floors of breathless agony. A click for the thirty-fourth. You teeter dizzily out of the torture- cage. You stumble down the hall, blessing forever the thoughtful architect who remembered to include in his skyscraper—stairs, for your downward journey. Rose Marie Haas, J '34 IMAGINATION She desired warmth; he craved fresh air. At night he wanted the window open; she wanted it closed. One chilly evening when they were both in bed, she got up to shut the window which he had opened. Then he arose and reopened the window. She, in turn, walked over and closed it. After both had been greatly angered, he grabbed his shoe and threw it. Crash! Bang! There was the sound of breaking glass. With a satisfied grin, he rolled over and went peacefully to sleep. Thoroughly disgusted, she turned and tossed for hours. On awakening the next morning, they found that the mirror had been shattered into thousands of pieces.

No chance to learn by experience —no chance to correct mistakes, yet an opportunity to create something different and finer than ever before produced. 1 You visualize a beautiful book—you have original ideas. Your problem is to carry out these ideas in a practical way so that when your work is done you have the book you want, and ... a balanced budget! 1 It is a problem with one answer. Go to a good, progressive printer—one who has demon- strated his ability to do fine printing and one who prides himself on his ability to carry out new ideas. 1 Here at Crocker's we make a specialty of school annuals. We've published scores of them. We have a book planning system that takes a lot of worry and work off your shoulders. And, if you have a thousand dollars to spend, we do not quote you a fifteen-hundred-dollar price, but try to show you instead how to make the very most of what you can afford to pay. •j That’s good printing plus. ■) Whether you are next door or in the next county it will pay you to get in touch with our school annual department when planning your next annual.
