The name is a corruption of the Arbic Kal-at al hamra, The Red Castle. This once magnificent center of Moorish culture and art is the remains of the Moorish domain in Spain. The citadel stood on a terrace, about 2500 by 675 feet, and was surrounded by a wall with 13 square towers. Inside this fortified wall there were beautiful gardens, Court of the Fish- pond, The Fountain of the Lions, mosaic pavement, Court of Justices, and above all the most colorful, graceful columns and arches, un- surpassed anywhere. , This Moorish castle has long since been un- inhabited but is in a state of preservation as a work of art, and a memorial of the tragic leg- end of the Abencerrages. It was one of those hours and scenes in which memory asserts an almost magical power, and, like the evening sun beaming on these mol- dering towers, sends back her retrospective rays to light up the glories of the past.

Arnold Margaret Sylvester David Phillips Esther Crook Barbara Phelps .A Florence Ferman Our Aim In the shadows of some gloomy efveningg we take clown from the shelf an old but well-kept book and slowly thumb through the pages. We are soon lost in the beauty and memories of our high school days. We hope our book will represent the theme that we have chosen. The Alhambra has weath- ered many a stormy conquest but it ls remem- bered as one of the most perfect and most beau- tiful of structures. If in one mind this book meets the qualities of our themeg we will feel our work well done. ANNUAL BOARD. SiIl'l+1RlNTl?NDlCN'l' HVMPHKEY PRINCIPAL CRANNY Cooperation is needed in a school system, and G. H. S. has been fortunate in obtaining this necessary cooperation between the students, principal and superinten- dent. Although we don't deal directly with our school board, they are the wheel of which we are the cogs which make our school what it is to-day. BACK ROW: Gulluqlior, Anderson. Lnnnom FRONT ROW: Ent.

THE SEASON The team was followed this year by the injury jinx throughout the season. Great defensive power was shown by the fact that only one touchdown was scored against the Tigers in the last half of the games. The Turkey day game with New- ton ended in a 0-0 tie, but the Grinnell team showed great defensive power. The Tigers made five first downs to Newton's none.

Kenny will be sorely missed when the next football season rolls around. BOB GOOCH '31 Bob's wonderful defensive game at tackle won him many an honor. He gave opposing line-men many a sore ,rib and back. Bob also is a senior and won't be back. ALDEN AHRENS '31 Al earned the title of a nice blocker this season. Although handicapped by weight and weak ankles his fight made up for this, and his hard, keen blocking took many players out of the path of the ball. Al's a senior too. I-IARLAN CLARK, '31 Tibby played end, and how. Playing alongside of Gooch this side of the line could not be punctured frequently. His punting also helped. Clark won't be back in uniform next fall. THERON CREWS '31 Swede was out because of injuries some of the season but when he played he was all there. His defensive work was a delight to all. Theron also graduates. WELDON DAVIS '31 Davey was a new student here last fall, but soon worked into the Grinnell ways. He played end or backfield positions, and filled them well. He is a senior. DAVID PHILLIPS '31 Dave played tackle on defensive and guard on offensive. He was the cause of lots of worry, but came through especially in the second half. Dave graduates. MYRON CLARK '32 Here's a boy who plugs along all year and receives little praise due him. Tubby's a silent sort of fellow, but plays good football. He will be back. DON ARNOLD, '32 Just try and stop those piston feet of his. Lots of fellows tried it, but Gal- loping Arnold is hard to stop. Don played an end position, and did it very well. He'll be back too. Page Forty-seven FARRELL SIEHL '32 Just a plain farmer boy but he got to know his onions. Siehl was green when the season started but developed into a veteran. A knee injury kept him out of the Newton game. Siehl is just a junior. DONALD ANDERSON '32 Andy played good ball throughout the year and will be a valuable player for the team next year. GEORGE NORRIS '33 George earned his G this year and really earned it too. He is a sophomore this year and will be back for two years to come. Norris' passing helped the team this year and he should develop into a wonderful passer in years to come. LLOYD ADKINS '31 . Addie was handicapped by size and weight but his fighting spirit was always present. ELLIS BROWN '31 Ellis was on the bench most of the season with injuries. His work during the first games was very commendable. FRANCIS RITTER. '31 Bill too was out of uniform on account of injuries but he will have a chance next year. His playing while he was out is very commendable. JACK LOCKHART '31 Jack plugged along for three years but couldn't quite earn a letter. However, Jack's fighting spirit was always there. LAIRD SULLENS '32 Another man who was out most of the year with injuries. Sully could pick his holes and his work is worth recognition. THE SECOND TEAM The second team had a very successful season under Mr. Starbuck. Many good men were uncovered that will help teams in the future. They broke about even in wins and losses. They sometimes displayed great power on defense. Page Forty-eight NIGHT FOOTBALL Grinnell football fans saw many games under the lights this season for the first time, and the adventure was a great success. Both the audience and the players were satisfied with the lighting system. The attendance at the games increased greatly. Grinnell was one of very few high schools lucky enough to have the use of lights.

His work is very com- mendable. He is a senior. MELVIN KENSINGER '31 Kennie's work at guard was fine. His shooting was good and he made the most points for Grinnell. He also graduates. FRED G-OREHAM '31 Fred ran into a bad spot in the center of the season but came through nicely. He is a senior, too. DON ARNOLD '32 Donie's work was very steady throughout the season. His guarding of O'Connor in the first Newton game was extraordinary. He will be back for a half semester. LYNN SAMPSON '34 Sammy's shooting helped Grinnell lots of times. He will be back for more in seasons to come. JOHN STOAKS '34 I Stoaks is just a freshman but his work is far above par. His presence will help win more ball games in the future. MELVIN ADAMS '33 Adams played at a forward post and did it exceptionally well in the latter part of the year. He'll be back. JACK LOCKHART '31 Jack played some good ball this year and is to be commended highly. He is a senior. CECIL THOMPSON '32 Pete played several good games at the forward position. Pete has played his last varsity game. BOB HALE '32 Bob did fine work at his forward position. He has one more year. Such men HS Deck, Norris, Kelly, Vogt, McDowell, and Handlon did commendable work and all will be back next year. Page Fifty-one TRACK RACK ROW: Coach Starhuck, Stout, Deck, Rex, Mintle, Work. Siehl.

The Grinnell team Won six points at the Oskaloosa Relays. McConaghie took second in the mile. We took third in the mile relay. The Drake Relays, Invitation meet, Guernsey meet, Distric.t and State meets are yet to be held when this section went to press. Page Fifty-two TRACK CAPTAIN DON BENTLEY '32 Since Don is a half year man this is his last track season and he is making it a very successful one. His work in the dashes and relays is very commendable. BRUCE McCONAGHIE '31 Bruce's specialty is the mile which he won at Iowa City and at Marshalltown. He took up the work of Mcllrath very successfully. DON ARNOLD '32 Don runs the 440 and 800 and his work is worth mentioning. He runs this race individually or in relays. DON CLELAND '32 Don runs practically anything he is told too, but his special race is the 440 yard dash. TWO-MILE RELAY TEAM The team is composed of Arnold, Mintle, Hagen, and McConaghie, with Adkins as alternate. They won a third at Drake Relays. MILE RELAY TEAM Bentley, Arnold, Ritter, Cleland make up this team. The team won three third places, at Iowa City, Oskaloosa and Drake and three firsts at Grinnell invita- tion, Guernsey, and District meet at Marshalltown. .HALF MILE RELAY Barnes, Bentley, Schmidt, Cleland are the half mile team which won a third at the Drake Relays. 440-YARD RELAY TEAM Barnes, Bentley, Schmidt, and Cleland also compose this team. This team only ran once and did not place. Coach Starbuck expects a lot from these men and also from several other mem- bers who are working hard but haven't placed yet as this goes to press. The weight men, although not outstanding, are doing consistent work. The whole team is looking forward to a conference championship and winning the mile relay at the state meet.

Page Sixty-eight OLD MOORISH CHRONICLE In the year 1931, according to a quaint old legend, Boabdil Frank, Leader of the Faithful and trainer of the warriors, learned that the unbelievers of Podunk were once more on the war-path. With great rapidity he called his trusty men to his side and repeated to them the crusade which was being urged in Podunk. Christian Dogs! cried the fiery Abu Obediah Kensinger, ask a Holy War on them, 0 Boadil, and their blood will flow like the water in the Fountain of the Lions. Bravely said, cried Ikremah Potts, Khaled Arnold, Manuel Sampson, Alhazen Stoaks, Youkemia Adams, Amu Al Gorham, and all others of his bloody band. Well spoken, replied Boabdil Frank, whereupon he sought the great Caliph Massenna Ibu Humphrey and the Muzzein Cranny. They declared in full pomp and circumstance a war against Podunk. Then great noises filled the entire Alhambra as the Commander of the Faithful, Frank drilled his men for battle. Messengers were sent out by the commander who returned with terrible .tales of the strength of the Christians of Podunk. Finally a truce was declared and five picked warriors' were chosen and placed in the lists for each side. Safe conduct was given each of the Christians who soon filled the halls of the Alhambra. In the list for the Christians we find the Count of Podunk, Lord La Rabbit, his grace, the Duke of Skunk Creek, the Baron of Sugar Hill, and the mysterious Black Knight. The true believers were represented by Abu Obediah Kensinger, Ikremah Potts, Khaled Arnold, Manuel Sampson and Youkemia Adams, all encased in shin- ing orange and black armor bearing .the crest of the Sultan. Now the warriors fight with great valorAthe battle turning one way and then the other. Thrice has the great Duke of Skunk Creek charged Obediah Kensinger and thrice has the great Obediah allowed him .to regain his feet. Then the Duke did unmanfully fall again. Amidst the cheers of the Moors he is forced to leave his place and a mere stripling takes it. Louder grows the tumult as the Christians press hard. The Moors withdraw for a moment of rest and prayer and then dash back into the conflict. The Podunkers quail and fly, leaving the field to the Moors. The warriors feel their reward in the promise of Boabdil Frank of immortality and honor.
