HOWARD MARVIN MR. ROY W, FREDIN MRS, HAZEL LINDLEY ADVISER ADVISER ADVISER HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1931 In the year of 199.8 the Class OfI93I was organized. This class, the third to be graduated from John Muir, has tried to carry on the traditions handed down to it by the preceding classes. Each member has done his best to have the Class of 1931 an organization of good conduct, a leader on all school activities, and a class willing to cooperate with the administration ofMuir. The class held its first meeting in October, 1928, with Miss Dorothy Hack, its adviser. Those elected as ofiicers were Norman Shaw, president, John Kuypers, vice-president, and Betty Eggleston, secretary-treasurer. A month later class colors, blue and gold, were made up into overseas caps. The outstanding social activity of the class in its sophomore year was a Scotch banquet held at the school. Plans for the junior year were made during the first part of June, 19294 Two members were added to the advisery staff. They were Mrs. Lindley and Mr. Marvin. Class oiiicers were also chosen for the following year. Arthur Pritchard, president, Genevieve Thompson, vice-president, and Tillie Horkey, secretary-treasurer, started the social activities of the class with a scalpers' party, held in the gym as a Hallowe'en celebration. Rings and pins bearing the class insignia were soon displayed. In order to increase the somewhat limited treasury, a theatre party was sponsored for three nights by the Class of 1931 at the Tower Theatre. The profits of the theatre party came well up to the expectations of the junior class. The Class of 1931 started one tradition in itsjunior year by having a Junior-Sophomore Frolic, which proved to be very successful, both from a social and a financial point of view: Plans for the greatest event of a senior's or junior's life, namely the Junior-Senior Prom, were well under way but were halted because of a serious epidemic then prevalent in Pasadena. Al- though postponed, the prom,which was given the following October, at the Annandale Club, was a brilliant success. Norman Shaw, president, Margaret Marsh, vice-president, and Josephine Horkey, secretary-treasurer, served as class officers during the senior year. At the beginning ofthe fall semester seniors were easily distinguished from lower classmen by the newly arrived class sweaters. The class play, The Romantic Age, was presented in the Washington Junior High School two nights during the latter part of November. Instead of the traditional ditch day, the Class of 1931 sponsored a Senior Day. On this day seniors took control of all Muir affairs, and Mr. Mead and the faculty became members of the student body. Needless to say it was very successful. The Alumni Dance, which was less exciting perhaps than Senior Day,but fully as successful, was held at the Masonic Temple in February. The Class of 1931 had thirty- six midyear graduates, and those who were graduated either went to Junior College or took post graduate work at John Muir. For the first time, the senior class sponsored a matinee dance and swimming party on the campus. Later in the spring a homecoming day and a farewell party added to the social activities ofthe Class of 1931. As graduation drew near, the lives of the seniors were one social event after an- other. Baccalaureate services marked the beginning of commencement activities. Seniors gathered together for the last time Senior Class Day for the reading ofthe class history, the class will, the class prophecy, and the class poem. Then that inspiring, somewhat joyous, and yet sad day arrived on which seniors first realized that they were no longer ac- tive members of John Muir, but that they were in the ranks ofthe alumni. The Junior- Senior Prom, held immediately after graduation exercises on the nineteenth of June, closed the active history of the Class of I93I. GORDON ABBOTT A man of good disposition.

HISTORYOF THE CLASS OF 1932 Under the capable supervision of Miss Witherell, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Walton the Class of 1932 in their sophomore year elected as their first president Arthur Sperry, with Bob Salisbury, vice-president, and Ruth Evans, secretary-treasurer. Class colors, green and white, chosen after a lively debate, soon appeared on the campus in caps worn by many members ofthe class. During this year, the class thought not alone ofits own activities but contributed much in all fields of school life. The outstanding social function of the year, a Valentine party, given by the class in the girls' gymnasium, drew a record attendance. At the beginning ofthe junior year, Jim Reynolds was elected president, Junior Simmons, vice-presidentg Betty McCoy, secretaryg and Bill Money, treasurer. Distinctive rings and pins as class emblems, selected by a large committee, helped to identify this group as one of the active classes of Muir Tech. On the gala Tech Tacky Day a group of clever junior artists fashioned attractive dresses in every hue of crepe paper for suckers.

These lolli-pops won instant favor with the entire school and aided in filling the purse for the great social event in the -iunior's life, the Junior-Senior Prom. A theatre party amd then a Junior Stag at the American Legion Hall added to the entertainment program for this year. The last meeting of the junior year was made important by the selection of an attractive sweater, a mark of distinction, for every senior class. The Class of 1931 is united in wishing the best of sucess to every activity under- taken by the senior class of next year, and it is confident that this class will do all that is in its power to continue, as every senior class has done, in building higher the standards of Muir Tech High. The Junior-Senior Prom, held at the Pasadena Golf Club immediately after graduation exercises, ended this sucessful year of numerous social activities.

Facto, assistant advisers, form an efiicient and enthusiastic trio to guide the activities of this grou . P VVillard Goodwin, chairman of the social committee, which was composed of Audrey Reynolds, Mona Peterson, Carol Stalder, and Rolly Wood, divided the entire class into seven groups, each of which gave an original stunt at the novel Cord and Cotton Party on February 27, 1931. The girls' gymnasium was decorated gaily with the popular colors red and white for this gala event, and red and white candy canes were used as prizes in the different events. In accordance with the traditions of the school, the Junior-Sophomore Frolic was held April 24, 1931, in the South Pasadena American Legion Hall. This extremely successful party furnished the two classes with a jolly time and with a substantual increase in the treasuries of both classes. The success of this year's activities portends well for the future ofthe Class of1933. The graduating class is certain that it is leaving in hands that are worthy the traditions of Muir Tech.

EARL BAIRD ADVISER ADVISER ADVISER HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1934 The Class of I934 started its activities early. It was organized this fall with a membership totaling about two hundred and fifteen. Miss Eva Brooks is the adviser, and her assistants are Miss Alexandria Bagley and Mr. Earl Baird. As a result of the first class election of officers, George Anderson became president, VVard I-Iill, vice-president, and Earl Karelius, secretary-treasurer. These officers, with the assistance of the advisers, planned activities for the semester. The day before Thanksgiving day, on which the famous Monrovia vs. lVIuir Tech football game was played on Monrovia's field, several girl representatives of the Class of 1934 sold streamers of orange and gray and boutonnieres made of African marigolds and dusty miller. These were sold for the small price of five and ten cents each, according to the size of the boutonniere, , A Christmas party, given on December 5, 1930, in the apparatus room of the girls' gymnasium, was the most successful social function of the year. Soon this large body of students will be established as sophomores. YVe, the members of the outgoing class, charge their! to uphold the ideals which have been followed by alumni, and to make Muir Tech ever stand out among the high schools of Southern California.

An unusually interesting project, the furnishing of the girls, new rest room, was successfully accomplished by the league this year. Several functions of interest to the entire school were sponsored by this group. During the first semester a golf and dancing party was held at the Rusticana golf course. In the spring the girls cooperated with the dancing Club in presenting a beautiful dance pageant. A cake baking contest, a new and interesting feature, was the closing activity.

One of the important achievements of this organization has been the adoption of a new system of awarding emblems to the members of the school's athletic teams. Under this plan a boy receives only one letter throughout his four years in high school, but he is presented with an appropriate bronze emblem for each team he makes. This club also was responsible for the decision to reverse the color scheme of the lettermen's sweater, and the change of the material for the letters from a felt to a chenille.

The Girls' Letter Club is a purely social organization, membership in which, is the highest attainable G.A.A. honor. This honor is acquired only when a girl has earned 850 G.A.A. points, which entitle her to receive her letter. Since there was a lack of members caused by the graduation last June, the club was unable to be organized this year until the second semester, when a number of girls merited membership. This delay made possible only one ofthe usual five social functions. However, the one social affair, a party, was a great success. . 5 1 J .l,QlJ' 'I' to 5 Z, .I K' GIRLS' SQUAD LEADERS A Adviser Miss Grace E.

Ward Manager and Head Cashier Evelyn Kirch Assistant Cashiers, Hrst semester Edith Brown, Alice Brown, Lorraine Wick Assistant Cashier, second semester Beatrice Storm Publicity Manager Joseph Zavick A radical change has been made in the mode of banking this year. Instead of banking each Tuesday in the council rooms, the cashiers, who are selected from the ollice training classes, have a desk in the student-body room and take deposits any day in the week except Monday, which day they reserve as a Hnal recapitulation day, preparing the statement for the bank. The present plan of banking throws the responsibility of saving entirely upon the student-no pressure being brought to bear by any teacher. The student learns to save because he wants to and establishes real habits of thrift. The motto of the banking commission has been Every Muir student a thrifty one. m,f+m,,, All' RWM S U xffff , ,.

Palmer The play opens with a controversy between Melisande and her mother and Jane Bagot. Melisande is upholding her ideas about love. She does not like modern romance. Instead she wants her true lover to come to her like a prince disguised as a poor woodcutter's son. One of her suitors, Bobby, does not know of her strange ideas. He visits her in ordinary evening clothes. Melisande tells him that his clothes are unsuitable, but she does not tell him why. Bobby is affronted but not conquered. He makes advances to Jane while Melisf ande wanders alone in the garden. Gervase Mallory, a young gentleman from Hedgling, loses his way while going to a fancy dress party. He stops at the Knowle home to borrow gasoline to take him home. He does not want to come into the house because of his prince's costume, but Mr. Knowle finally persuades him to enter. After talking a long while on various matters, Gervase prepares to leave, promising to come back the following afternoon. However, as he is getting into his coat, Melisande comes in from the garden and sees him by the dull light of the living room in his costume of a prince. A meeting between them is evidently arranged, for Gervase is patiently waiting for Melisande in a forest glade early the next morning, having slept in his car all night. On her arrival, they talk together as though in a fairy tale. Gervase returns to the Knowle home in the afternoon in ordinary clothes. Melisande is shocked and tells Bobby she will marry him after all, but Bobby knows not what to do, having already proposed to Jane. Gervase comes in again at a critical moment, and an argument ensues between him and Melisande. Melisande Hnally acknowledges her folly, and love takes its natural course. BAND Instructor Hugh E.

Prospects for next year are very bright, as the completion of the new auditorium will atlford greater opportunities for band work. ORCHESTRA Leader Hugh E. Palmer Members Violin: Laura Barry, Roy Beaumont, Arthur Egigian, Roberta Emerson, William Fisher, Eugene Gehrs, Dorothy Holmes, Richard Holmes, Ruth Hoppock, Anna McDougall, Muriel Mead, Colletta Moore, Frances Nelson, Ruth Olmstead, Earl Ruppert, Robert Salter, Walter Shay, Cello: Charles Parker, Carol Price, Bass: Eugene Banbury, Warren Lewis, Trumpet: Bernard Mark, Dale Shriver, VValter VVolmer, Clarinet: Vernon Carriker, Kenneth Holmes, Bill Martin, Paul Price, Robert Wilson, Trombone: Reuben Burke, Easter Ramsey, Piano: Edna Crisman, Helen Smith, Oboe: Sherwood Mark, Flute: William Feast, French Horn: John Fairchild, Edward Germond, Drums: Stanley Anderson, Tympani: Ross Beck. The fine training this musical group receives makes it possible for Muir Tech to boast of one of the finest high school orchestras. There is no other organization that has so well served and represented the school as this group. They played at both performances of the senior class play at the VVashington Junior High School and again at the spring Music Festival at Pasadena Junior College. Parts of the orchestra have appeared at various funct- ions, such as the Community Chest dinner and the Community Play House dinner. The orchestra played in the Rose Bowl at Commencement. This group looks forward to the new music room, which will be ready for its use in the fall and will serve as an impetus to the instrumental music organizations of the school. BOYS' GLEE CLUB Adviser Miss Mabel M. Oakes Members Nobel Albert, Paul Anderson, Daniel Arellanes, Elbert Beaudoin, Jim Cain, William Dickerson, Robert Douglass, Belmont Frisbee, Billy Fry, Eugene Gehrs, Jimmie Graham, Russel Haverick, Roland Holm, Clyde Hurt, Harry Hurt, John Hurt, Raymond Iskovitz, Herbert Jeffries, Jack Jennings, Ronald Johnson, Virgil Johnson, Forrest Kyle, Frank La Rue, Maurice Lawrence, Rex Mather, Charles May, Scotty McDonald, Dick Munroe, Gerald Ogle, Charles Pawley, William Purcell, Clyde Seaton, George Smith, Stanley Stadler, Erwin Stevens, Paul Summers, Elmer Sunstedt, Bernard Swanson, John Waterman, Don Watson, Bert Willard, Ronald Williams. This year the Boys' Glee Club comprised many new members, therefore it took some time to get the club working together. However, by the second semester they made several public appearances. Their work in the March Music Festival in conjunction with the Pasadena Junior College Men's Glee Club was probably the most outstanding. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Adviser Mabel M. Oakes Members Hazel Ballard, Betty Berry, Martine Bolmer, Anna Bovberg, Florence Bovberg, Minnie Brooks, Ruby Brunk, Dorothy Burns, Lillian Cunningham, Elsie Ellis, Lucille Evans, Leona Forthun, Celeste Gilchrist, Lorene Giswein, Dolores Graham, Helen Gutierrez, Mary Hanson, Harriet Hamilton, Ruby Harris, Leona Hodges, Naomi Hodges, Margaret Holmes, Ruth Johnson, Audrey Jones, Julia Kidusshim, Virginia King, Olive La Foya, Jean Leslie, Doris Lovedahl, Melba Mack, May Matsahara, Olive McKensie, Betty McRoy, Iris Mever- den, Margaret Miller, Virginia Mitchell, Tomiwitta Moore, Virginia Neise, Mary Lou Peete, Lorraine Petzil, Mildred Pollard, Rose Press, Beatrice Prince, Mildred Stellway, Florence Stoddard, Virginia Stoddard, Viola Storm, Marie Tuck, Elsbeth Watson, Eleanor White, Frances Willard, Mazine VVilliams. Activities: The Girls' Glee Club has worked hard throughout the year. Many new girls have filled the ranks which were depleted by graduation. They have done splendid work. Their outstanding public appearance was participation in the March Music Festival combined with the Junior College Girls' Glee Club. The instructor for the Girls' Glee Club during the Hrst semester was Frances E. Smith, during the second semester the instructor was Katherine Stadley. .I Y if MUSIC FESTIVAL The music festival held bi-annually, alternating with the school operas, was a real success this year. The music departments of Muir Tech and Junior College combined for this affair, which was given in Junior College Auditorium on March 27, 1931. Hugh E. Palmer and Hubert H. Parker, in turn, directed the combined orches- tras in several selections which were well received. Miss Lula C. Parmley directed the combined girls' glee clubs in three beautiful numbers, with Amy Grau Miller at the piano. Mabel M. Oakes directed the combined boys' glee clubs in three numbers which were enthusi- astically applauded. Carrie M. Sharp at the piano accompanied this group. Several smaller groups presented numbers undirected. The high light of the evening was reached when John Henry Lyons, director of music in the city schools, directed the combined glee clubs and orchestras in the Gloria', from the Twelfth Mass by Mozart. This is to be repeated at the Rose Bowl Commencement in June. ' fa THE SPRCSS CLUB Adviser Miss Mabel Nl.

The Spross Club is a new club at Muir this year. It is composed of girls chosen by Miss Oakes for their exceptional voices and for their ability to use the voice correctly in singing with others. They have appeared before many audiences this year with splendid results. Their outstanding performance of this year was at the March Music festival, where they sang two diHicult numbers by Charles Gilbert Spross, for whom the club is named. They did beautiful work undirected. This club will be greatly reduced in number by graduation. DUBLICATIGN K 4+ '- f - ' 45 - ' 'sl .

The Trail Blazer staPr' does all the writing and reporting for the Trail Blazer, the student publication of Muir Tech. The paper is published every two weeks, and reflects the spirit of school life. One of the important means of getting new suggestions for improving publica- cations is to find how other schools are meeting problems. Therefore, the staff attended different journalism conventions during the year. Eleven members of the staff attended the ninth annual newspaper day at the University of Southern California in February. In a contest at that time the Trail Blazer won fourth place in class HB . Redondo Union High School, at Redondo, California, was the place where the fall convention was held. THE sEouolAN EDITORIAL STAFF: Virginia Larned, Editor, David Scott, Assistant Editor, Mary Ellen Nickum, Art Editorg Gertrude Sundstrum, Literary Editor, Ruth Dockham, Dorothy Adams, Organization Editors, Ruth Zingelman, Dorothy Tullock, Class Editors, Bert Willard, Frank Hale, Boys' Athletics Editors, Edith Hawks, Girls Athletics Editor- Byrne Manson, Lincoln Spaulding, Business Managers. The Seguoizzn, with the exception of the engraving and binding, has been the work ofthe students of Muir Tech. After the staff had been chosen at the beginning of the fall semester, the members held general meetings, when the work was new and strange. They selected their theme, organized the material, and began the individual work. Since their first gathering, members of the staff have been earnestly engaged in making this book. Several members of the staff attended the fall journalism convention at Redondo Union High School. At that meeting ideas which were used later were gained. Because it is impossible to publish so large a book alone, the staff is dependent on the faculty and other students. It recognizes and appreciates the help given by these people. 9 Mr. E. Twomey was the chairman of the annual committee, Miss Effie Brooks had charge of the business problemsg and Miss Ruth Pinkham supervised the literary work. Miss Ruth Estes, Mary Ellen Nickum, and the art classes drew the section page illustrations and sized and mounted the pictures. Mr. E. Memmler and the boys in the print shop completed the printing, folding, and gathering. Mr. Smith, photographer at the Maryland Studio in Pasadena, took the senior and club pictures. He also supplied the views of the school in the front of the book. Mr. E. Baird and his photographers helped take the snap- shots, Ruby Horner, Lily Contino, and Olive Becker of the commercial department aided in typing the material. ATLILLTIC5 1 'CDRA' J N SONG AND CHEER LEADERS BOYS' SPORTS AND SCHOOL LIFE Among the school activities which we may consider truly outstanding, athletics and scholarship should be rated first. VVe come to school to learn and to apply prastically in everyday life the principles taught us. Athletics help us to learn by providing physical recreation and a sound, healthy body, which is a prerequisite for a sound, sane mind. There is a movement on foot throughout tie United States on t'1e part of over- zealous reformers to do away with athletics altogether in the colleges and high schools of the country. VVhat would happen if there were no athletics at Muir Tech? School life would indeed be dull, for all ofus love to see a fair, clean contest, in which there is lively competition. It is regrettable, however, that athletics and scholarship do not cooperate with one another more than they do. An athlete who neglects his mental development is never an excellent athlete, just as the student who neglects physical training and care is never a a good student. A diseased body can never cooperate with a sound mind, and vice-versa. In the future, we are sure that athletic and mental development at Muir Tech will be of the highest type, and that we may be able to point to a number of outstanding athletes who are also good scholars . THE COACHES Muir Tech High is fortunate in having on its staff three of the finest coaches in Southern California-Mr. Ed. Laurenson, Mr. A.W. Walton, and Mr. Newton Stark-all of them recognized leaders of athletic activities in prep circles. Mr. Laurenson, head of the physical education department at Muir, is acknow- ledged one of the leading basketball players and officials in the state, and is, therefore, ably qualified to coach the casaba sport at Muir Tech. His midget teams are not always champion- ship squads, but they are fighting teams that never give in. This is the best and highest compliment that can possibly be given any coach-the fact that he so drills fundamentals in his men that they will fight doggedly until the last whistle. Mr. Walton has developed several championship lightweight teams at Tech, his football, basketball, and track teams winning the San Gabriel Valley League titles in 1928 and in IQ3OQ the lightweight and varsity track teams under his guidance finished second in the Foothill League. This year, the lightweight football team finished second in the league and won the basketball championship, as well as finishing high in track. Mr, Stark is a graduate of the University ofSouthern California, and has brought many Trojan theories to Tech, installing them in Terrier teams, which are renowned for their spirit and fight. He has never won any football championships, but in 1928 his varsity basketball team won the San Gabriel Valley League gonfalon, and in 1929 finished second to Fullerton in football. Although the football squad of 1930 was not up to par, it did manage to tie Pasadena Junior College and whip Monrovia for the first time Newt is popular with. students and faculty alike, and we predict several championships in the offing for the varsity mentor. VARSITY FOOTBALL Line-up: Jeffries, l.e.g Adams, l.t.g Houlgate, 1.g.g Money, c.g Douglass, r.gg LaRue, r.t.g Edwin, r.e.g Chambers, q.g Hurt Ccapt.J, l.h.g Gooden, r.h.g McDonald f.b. Other men making their letters were Fox, e.g Apel, t.g Scott, c.g Hoeppner, f.g Whitecar, h.b. Watson, g.g and Lusk, e.g Jimmy Graham and Howard Lee were managers. MUIR TECH o HOOVER 6 Muir lost its first league game to the Hoover Tornadoes by a very low score on October 17. The Terriers put up a good fight but lost to a slightly better team. The Torna- does scored their only touchdown just as the gun sounded for the first half, but Muir did not let that discourage them. Our boys fought hard the last half to overcome the lead but could not quite make it. MUIR TECH 6 SOUTH PASADENA o The Terrier varsity whipped the Tigers for the fourth year in succession, and in doing so, spilled the dope. The game, played at South Pasadena, was thrilling, with many spectacular plays as features. Vernon Chambers, Tech quarterback, dubbed the Dusky Demon , was the star of the game, making one long 65-yard run in the first quarter to place the ball in scoring position. Hoeppner went over for a touchdown early in the second quarter, and Tech held the Tigers thereafter. MUIR TECH o BURBANK I4 On October 3 I the Burbank blue and white varsity whipped us I4-o on the home field. Bandy, big fullback, ripped and tore through the spiritless Tech line for large gains, and De Santis also found the going easy. These two boys accounted for all the Burbank points, except two, which were made on a safety, when Hoeppner, scrappyTerrier quarterback, fell on the ball back of the Tech goal. Chambers and Jeffries were outstanding for Muir Tech. MUIR TECH o WHITTIER 31 Iourneying to Whittier November 7, the Terrier varsity took the worst beating of the league schedule when they lost to the Cardinals 31-O. The Terriers fought hard but could not stop the beautiful interference of the Whittier backfield, and -IohnnyArrambide had a field day at our expense. MUIR TECH 9 MONROVIA o After taking it on the chin three years in sucession, the Terriers rose up in all their manly glory Thanksgiving Day to give the Monrovians a royal trouncing to the tune of 9-o. This game was by all odds the greatest of the season for Muir Tech, since it meant more to us than any other. The Terriers and Wildcats fought on even terms for three quarters, and it looked as though the game would end a scoreless tie. However, early in the fourth quarter the Terriers backed the Wildcats to their IO-yard line, and La Rue, smashing tackle, rushed through and blocked the Monrovia kick, the result of which was a safety and two points for Tech. About two minutes later, after Monrovia had punted to the Terriers, Chambers shot a long pass to Gooden, the first completed pass of the game, and it was good for a touchdown. Hurt made the extra point on a line plunge. MUIR TECH o P. C. LOWER DIVISION o Armistice Day at the Rose Bowl was anything but peaceful as the Muir Tech Terriers engaged the P.J.C. Bulldogs in mortal combat, with the game ending in a scoreless tie after 60 minutes of hard, clean football. Twice the Terriers stopped the highly touted Pasadena power plays in the shadow of our goal.

MUIR TECH 6 HOOVER o Muir Tech's scrappy lightweight team journeyed to Glendale, October 16, to meet the Hoover middleweights and came home with the verdict, 6-o. The game was thrilling. MUIR TECH 6 SOUTH PASADENA 6 After being scored upon early in the first quarter by the Tiger kittens, Tech 's lightweight team came back in the third quarter to score on a pass from Salsman to Simmons. MUIR TECH I3 BURBANK o After being held scoreless by the weak Bullpup lightweights in the first half, Muir Tech came back in the second half to score two touchdowns, both on end runs by Simmons. MUIR TECH o WHITTIER I9 A championship lightweight team from Whittier downed the Terrier Bees in a hard fought battle on the Tech field, November 6. MUIR TECH 21 MONROVIA o In the preliminary to the Muir Tech-P.J.C. varsity tussle, Muir Tech's lightweight team finished the league schedule in a blaze of glory by whipping our traditional foes, the Monrovia Wildkitties, 21-O. Karelius, Salsman, and Dorn scored the touchdowns for Muir. MUIR TECH 6 P. C. LIGHTWEIGHTS o After three years of defeat at the hands of the Bulldog lightweights, the Muir Tech Bees came out of their lethargy to whallop the Jaysee Bees, 6-O, and chalk up the most glorious victory of the year. The whole Tech squad played an inspired game.

MUIR TECH I2 SOUTH PASADENA 6 In a widely spectacular game marred by many fumbles on both sides, the Tech babes finally emerged victorious over the Tiger kitties. Sperry, Anderson, and Thomas played well for the Terrier pups. MUIR TECH 6 BURBANK o Our midget team took the Burbank midgets into camp on our field, 6-o. MUIR TECH 6 VVHITTIER 18 In the biggest upset of the season, an over-confident band ofTerrier midgets came home from Whittier, November 6, with the short end of an 18-6 score. The little Cardinals clearly outplayed Muir Tech. Anderson made the only Muir Tech score on a 30-yard run in the last quarter. MUIR TECH 6 MONROVIA o Playing as a preliminary to the varsity game, the peewee teams of the two great rivals, Monrovia and Muir Tech, fought through four muddy, sloppy quarters, with the Muir Tech boys proving themselves better mudhens and therefore winning, 6-o. Neither team could do much offensively because of the slushy field, but both put up a game battle. Anderson and Hill starred for the Cees. The midgets wound up the season in a tie for second place.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS g The development of girls' athletics at Muir Tech has been remarkable in its rapid advancement. When the school was new, there seemed to be little interest among the girls in athletics, and few came out seriously for sports. The equipment was none too adequate, the girls had to share their field with the boys while the football field was in the process of being made, and when the girls' field was being smoothed off for hockey and soccer, the girls were left without a proper place to play. It is no wonder, then, that not too much enthusiasm was felt for sports. The next year the girls returned to a well-equipped apparatus room, a splendid room for corrective work, and a field that invited activity. The turn-outs increased a great deal, and many inter-period games were played in hockey, baseball, and basketball. However, there still seemed to be some flaw in the athletic program, for there were some two hundred girls enrolled in the school, yet only fifty or so came out to make teams. It was the Girls' Ath- letic Association which came to the front and stimulated a sporting sense among the girls. The end of this school year showed a marked improvement and advancement in girls' athletics. The third year of sports began with much enthusiasm in basketball. In fact, en- ough girls were turning out to make inter-class competition necessary. These inter-class teams were well trained, and the games were thrillingly close in score. The other sports receiv- ed the same amount of enthusiasm, and as more girls came out to make teams, a greater var- iety of games was offered. Today girls' athletics in Muir Tech are reaching more girls and are all the time in- creasing in popularity. A healthful program, offering a wide variety of sports, is giv- en. The seasons are arranged so that a girl may enter five major sports a year besides atleast two minor sports. The Girls' Athletic Association has been a means of furthering athletics as no other organization has done. Through this association the girls are awarded numerals, stripes, and letters on a purely practical basis of cooperation plus sportsmanship .This organization helps to teach girls not wholly inclined toward sports and also to show the proper spirit in which ath- letics should be received. The girls of the Class of 1931 not only have been active in athletics but have also shared the glory of good health with the other classes. It is the hope of the girls of the Class of 1931 that the future sportswomen ofMuir Tech will be developers and leaders in higher ideals in girls' athletics. A r KJIKLD DI 'N3lXl1IDI 'KLL fQ4,vv'V1 ' Advisers Moody, Chase, Manager Helen Warmer Basketball has always been the outstanding girls, sport, and this year was no exception. So much enthusiasm was shown that it was necessary to have two representative teams for each class. There was little difference between these teams as the closeness of the scores will show.

M For the first time in the history of Muir Tech an all-star team was selected in which each class was represented.

I HOCKEY Advisers Moody, Gilson, Chase Managers Lohse, Mason Hockey took a more prominent part in girls' athletics than it did ever before. The interclass series not only were exciting and close, but showed the skilled teamwork of many weeks' practice. The turn-outs for hockey were almost as large as the basketball turn- outs, that is saying a good deal, for hockey has never been so popular. For the second time this year the juniors nosed out the seniors for a school champ- ionship. The hnal game between the juniors and seniors was the finest exhibition of team- work the girls have shown in any sport.

Although Muir Tech lost, 5' to 2, the girls showed skill in an array of all-court equipment in strokes. The feature game ofthe day was the match between 'iPeg Bertonneau of Tech and Mary VVatson of P.j.C. A challenge tournament took up the greater part of the tennis season.

Neva Argetsinger, a freshman, proved to be a t'1reat to all who competed against her. Kay Moran ofthe junior team added many points for her class in diving and also made splendid time for two len ths. g It was necessary for the girls to choose either swimming or tennis as their in- dividual sport, and this made the turn-outs for both comparatively small. ,,x M' I 6. i I l x I GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL Advisers Moody, Gilson, Chase , Manager V Lady Helen Pope It is difhcult to understand the popularity that volleyball received this season. It has always been a minor sport, but when the girls turned out and really enjoyed their games, it was time to recognize volleyball as a major sport. It is needless to say that every game played was a thrill, and those that watched many ofthe games were amazed at the rapidity shown in playing. Stella Norton's Period V team won the school championship after subduing some of the best teams in school. The various inter-period teams were composed of the following girls: Andre, I.Argetsinger, N.Argetsinger, Aberle, T.Bertonneau, P.Bertonneau,R.Bailey,F.Bailey,Brown, Birch, Bigbie, Beyer, Benens, Brock, Blow, Brownie, Cittle, Cunningham, Coon, Chilton, Clucas, Cutler, Crism an, Carroll, Dootson, Dean, Devirian, Eades, Eddy, E.Felton,L.

GIRLS' HANDBALL Adviser Moody, Gilson, and Chase Manager Stella Norton One of the newest sports among the girls at Muir Tech this year was handball. More girls turned out for this interesting activity than were expected, and the schedule, therefore, provided many exciting games. Interest ran high when the final game between Stella Norton and Ethel Doleshal was played. The latter won only after a hard fought struggle. Handball is truly the only individual sport at Muir Tech, and the success it met this year proves that in the future it will be one of the most popular. The manager hopes that more girls will come out next year and enjoy a really good game. Senior members: Mitchell, Perkins, Press, and Stoddard. Junior members: Bertonneau, Falkard, Ingraham, Jones, Norton, Quass, Tuck, and Watson. Sophomore members: Argetsinger, Barnes, Berry, Brown, Doleshal, Hathaway, Holmes, V.
