I was no longer taking A9 algebra so I did have some leisure. Looking at the calendar, I discovered that it was just fifteen years to a day since I had been graduated from Le Conte. As I strolled down the street, I let my mind drift back to our old gang at Le Conte. I was aroused very abruptly from my dreams by bumping into a man who was nearly seven feet tall. Luckily for my health, it proved to be Charles Kingsbury. He was now busy inventing all manner of useful appli- ances for the convenience of mankind. He was on his way to the Blonder National Bank to arrange about the finances of his newest invention, a com- bination portable typewriter, gum machine, hat-rack and walking-stick. At the bank we were admitted at once, because we were from Le Conte. There was a standing invitation at the bank for any former Le Conte student. Past three captains of industry, a high government official and the president of a railway, we swept majestically. Blonder was dictating to three secretaries, Marjorie Greenberger, Evelyn Rightman and Evelyn Rohrlich. He gave what was left of his attention to Kenny Chappell, who was the contractor for his new home, Carleton White, the architect, and our pal and jazz-Whistler, Morgan Bowne, who was to do the interior decorating for the new palace Blonder was erecting. In the midst of all this confusion came a telephone call from Roger Parish asking David to come for a cruise in his yacht. Blonder set the date in the near future. How he could keep up his work and go on yacht cruises was 'way beyond me. After consulting his watch and his appetite, Blonder decided to knock off for lunch. VVe rode to lunch in the limousine that David had just purchased from Al Aronson's Automobile Agency. I53l Blonder had all the Le Conte news. Ygnacio Bonillas and joseph Sistrom had gone down to South America to look for a silver mine. They found the mine all right, but it didn't do them any good because joe made the map that showed where it was. On the trip back to civilization he began to think of something else and put a log of wood in his pocket and threw the map on the Ere After a good lunch at Fred I'Iammel's Cafe, we went to Edward Belascds Theatre. VVe went there because we could get in for nothing. Belasco himself met us at the entrance. The prologue was just starting when we arrived. Arline Cornwell and Nadine Coughlin were the star dancers. According to the program they wore costumes designed by Dorothy lVIyers. The feature picture was a Nicholas Benton Alexander Production. Ben had allihisiheroes blonde. I never could understand why he hated the 'lLatin Loversl' so, until I found some of the blue slips he used to get in Latin. After the show I bought a paper to see what all the newsboys were yelling HExtra about. It seemed that Esther Armstrong had performed her first operation after getting her diploma as a doctor about a month before. The extra was about her acquittal from a manslaughter charge. VVhat made it doubly interesting was the fact that jack Christensen had been her attorney. That night when I got home I concluded that my leisure time had been well spent.

I64l E653 Commissioners VVe have been fortunate this year in having a hard working group of commissioners Who have fulfilled the duties of their oflices admirably. The commissioners hold the highest offices in Student Government and work directly under Miss Lobanoff and Mr. Kempton, who sponsor all Student Government Work. Each commissioner has charge of a particular department of the Student Government. The commissioners are the only officers elected directly by the entire student body. Those elected this term are Elizabeth lVIcKay, order and deportmentg Marjorie Barter, propertyg Frances Raney, general Welfareg Esther Hauschild, publicityg Helen lrVhlt1l1OfC, recordsg lllorgan Bowne, propertyg Donald Beaton, order and deportmentg David Blonder, receptiong .lack Christensen, financeg Jack Smith, welfareg and Dorothy Kostow, who acted as secretary to the sponsor during the term. Bliss Lobanoff and Mr. Kempton deserve full credit for the work they have done this year in sponsoring Student Government. They have had the entire responsibility of re-organization after the summer vacation. It was not an easy thing to do, but they soon had everything running smoothly. Le Conte Student Government has become famous throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding towns. VVe are proud of the students who have gained for us this reputation for efficiency. lf66l Student Government Directors The work of the Student Government Directors under the able guidance of hir. Kempton and Miss Lobanoff has proved to be educational as well as interesting. Nlany of these directors belong to the Leaders' Club. ln this club discussions of the various problems that enter into the work of the Stu- dent Government prove profitable. This group works quietly and endeavors to solve many problems that arise. The assistance of these students helps our school to run more smoothly.

F683 i Le Conte Life Le Conte Life is the newspaper edited and printed weekly by the students of Le Conte. This year a new plan for circulation has been used. Instead of obtaining advance subscriptions, the business staff sells the paper for one cent a copy every Friday. Each home room has a news distributer who collects the pennies and hands them to the circulation manager every Wednesday before the paper is published. In this way the exact number of copies to be printed can be determined. The students on the editorial staff are Pauline Smith, editor-in-chiefg Ray Vekroff and Betty Porter, associate editors 5 James Patrick and Virginia Strong, art editors, Betty Logue, girls' sportsg Jerome Nemer, boys' sports, Lesley Pickering, literary 5 Kathleen Cassidy, home room news 3 Virginia Boyce, personals, Betty Cadwell, exchangesg Harry Mohr, humor. The reporters are Mary Alice Barmore, Elva Blake, Sarah Brubaker, Nlargaret Bryant, Elizabeth Chapin, Edward Hamburger, Juliette Hertz, Ruth Hesher, Eunice Koch, Clara March, Austin Menzies, Harold Rhodes, Wells Ruby, Robert Sherwood, Aletha Taylor and Herbert Waters. The business staff consists of Leon Ungar, advertising manager, Teddy Aronson, advertising solicitorg Alex Aronson, circulation manager, and Frances Fripp, secretary. 11691 The Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club has done some splendid work this term under the leadership of llliss Ripple, who has worked hard and faithfully training her boys and has spent much of her time outside of school looking for music. The boys have a creed, unanimously adopted, which they repeat at each business meeting and earnestly strive to follow: HAS loyal Le Conteans we serve honorably and courteouslyg strive to be happy and to aid others to be happy, are helpful to our leader, bliss Ripple, and linking our efforts With hers, we endeavor so to portray the beautiful in music as to lift the soul nearer to the God of Harmony. At 'AAud calls and entertainments, the Boys' Glee Club has pleased those who heard them, earning much applause at every appearance. The boys were dressed as soldiers in the program which was given in honor of Armistice Day and shared honors with the Girls' Glee Club, who appeared in the costume of Red Cross nurses. The boys in the Glee Club are George Fowler, president, Donald Alcorn, secretary and treasurer, Clifford Gans, George Hollis, Tom Ingles, Max Koren, Max Ludke, Donald Rea, joe Reyes, Albert Rimpau, Wilbur Snyder, Clarence Stark, James Thurman, Howard Weller, Bradstreet Miller, Jerry O'Malley and William VVoodruff. E701 The Girls' Glee Club Miss Beckett has had charge of the Girls' Glee Club again this year and has been very successful. Trust Miss Beckett to give us a fine Glee Club. Last year there were two Girls' Glee Clubs, a Junior Glee Club and a Senior Glee Club, but this year the two have been working together as one. This is an advantage to Bliss Beckett because she can Work with one group of girls, instead of dividing her attention as she did last term. As this is written several weeks before the end of the term, a full account of the doings of the Girls' Glee Club cannot be recorded. The girls have given us some very enjoyable numbers thus far, and will no doubt give us many more before the end of the term. They pleased us very much the day before Christmas vacation by passing through the halls singing carols. The members of the Girls' Glee Club are Esther Armstrong, Blanche Barline, Vivian Bay, Gladys Chalfant, Jane Dale, Elizabeth Dawson, Erline Duncan, jean Fosbinder, Marjorie Greenberger, Virginia Harris, Nlaureen Hudson, Ruth Hester, Edith Koch, Evelyn Kourian, Cynthia Kreck, Virginia Lane, Gertrude Lawton, Elizabeth Ney, Isabel Sederholm, Helen Shaw, Florence Shur, Gladys Stern, Virginia Stewart, Ruth Sweeney, Dorothy Tip- ton, Frances Turner, Nlildred Welch, Peggy Adams, Lucy Evans, Elva Blake, Elvera Perluss, Aneita Leveke, Ruth Dayen, and Betty Logue. E711 Senior Orchestra One of the most popular organizations in Le Conte is the Senior Orches- tra, which is fortunate in having joseph jean Gilbert for its director. At most every Aud Call the orchestra opens the program with some stirring selections and accompanies the students in their chorus singing. lt is the ambition of every student who has musical talent to become a member of the Senior Orchestra, for it is a great honor to be chosen as one of its number. Very valuable instruction is given by Mr. Gilbert, both in the technique of playing and the study of worthwhile musical selections. The orchestra always plays the accompaniments for the annual operetta and furnishes musical numbers between the acts. Following is a list of the members of the Senior Orchestra: first violins, Dorothy Piper, Sam Molin, Danny Altomari, George Fiegenbaum, Ella De- kany, lylildred lX'lcCawley, Leonard Gazzam, Louis Freedman, second violins, Dixie Ryan, Nellie Zrebrec, Betty VValborn, Maisie Buchanan, Bonnie Waugh, Bonnie Cassil, Harold Rhoadesg flutes, Ray Cripps, Vivian Hullg clarinets, John Tannehill, VVilliam Mclntyreg Cornet, Mary Cook, Robert McFaulg horn, Lillian Pettitg saxaphones, Luella Pettit, Sydney Harrisg drums, Kenneth McLeod, Frank Keller, James Hammg piano, Mary Kestner, Mary Barmore. E721 junior Orchestra The Junior Orchestra is another group of very promising musicians, which is also under the leadership of Joseph Jean Gilbert. Because of the very large number of musicians in our school, it has been necessary to organize the junior Orchestra in addition to the Senior Orchestra. The junior Orchestra is composed of the younger musicians of Le Conte who receive the preliminary training necessary to obtain a place in the Senior Orchestra. They have rend- ered very pleasing selections at several programs in the Auditorium during the semester, and we predict that many of them will join the senior group next year. The personnel of the Junior Orchestra is as follows: first violin, Gordon Prinz, Brook McFaul, Tuella Fuestino, June Harrison, Saretta Fraut, Lila Mae Jeffries, Elaine Coulter, Austin Menzies, Mieren Oswell, Robert Cur- rang second violin, Gertrude Rendell, Florence Dunn, Edith lVIcConnell, Max Schlackter, Milton Zaradneck, Alvine Singerman, Grant McNeil, Jane Chaseg Hutes, Nlarshall Lewis, Helen Coulterg clarinets, Warren Carroll, Bob Brun- dageg saxaphone, Bob Cavinee, piano, Margaret Kirchhoffer, Evelyn Morrillg drums, Roger Parishg string bass, Merle Nevitt. Those who belong to this orchestra consider it a great privilege to receive such valuable instruction as well as the benefit derived from public appearances. l73l I Le Conte Bands VVe are very proud of our junior and Senior Bands which are under the inspiring direction of Joseph Jean Gilbert. VVe sometimes enter the Audi- torium to the strains of a spirited march played by our bands, and when they play the exit march we are always loath to leave. The combined bands played for the Teachers' Institute and our teachers reported that they were very proud of our musicians and lVIr. Gilbert. The bands, when in full dress, are costumed in white except for blue and gold ties and blue and gold bands across their caps. When we see them marching in full regalia we think they are the best band in the city. The members of the Senior Band include the following: clarinets, James McNIillan, Warren Carroll, Clifford Hutchison, Floyd Christensen, cornets, Wells Ruby, Fred Comstock, Lee Morris, Vaughan Denny, Leslie Hoagland, Robert Vande Griftg saxophones, Donald Webster, Fred Jackman, Frank Mc- Donald, George Buntong trombones, Philip Tilden, Cash Shockeyg tubas, Bartley Hunt, Donald Beckwith, drums, David Stevenson, William Condon, Bobby Gordong drum major, Harry lllohr. These are the members of the junior Band: cornets, Almeron Carroll, Paul Biesemeyer, Alex Tarbetg altos, Garner Hamm, Alfred Riddleg baritone, Carl Alsop, saxophones, Bob Cavinee, Richard Dickermang drum, Willard Munson. i 74 l Le Conte D ramatics The Dramatics Club meets in Room 238, under the guidance of Mrs. Getsinger, with the following ofhcers in charge: president, George Smith, vice-president, Ethel lllae Richardson, secretary and treasurer, Bernice Luke, and reporter, Betty Walborn. The students of the third period A-Nine Oral Expression class are automat- ically members of the club. We have also added to our roll several names of A-Nines that are unable to join our class. The members are as follows: Marjorie Greenberger, Dorothy Tipton, Juliette Hertz, Peggy Rees, Carl Evans, Drusilla Phillips, Evelyn Rightman, Bernice Luke, Betty VValborn, Bernice Adelson, Fred Juneman, William Vocke, Robert Klein, Ethel Mae Richardson, George Smith, Helen Abrams, Virginia Swanson, Marjorie Barter, Jeanne Brey, Morgan Bowne, Clarence Stark, Helen Whitmore, Frances Raney, and Ferbert Emerson. Very interesting meetings are held at which a program is presented by the program committee, which includes Carl Evans, chairman, Ferbert Emerson and Juliette Hertz. The programs consist of passages from plays and mono- logues and dialogues. We enjoy attending plays of other dramatic classes in the city. Recently our class witnessed the play As You Like lt, given at the Cumnock School. l75l Library Training Class The course in Library Training is open to a limited number of eighth- and ninth-grade students who have been recommended for the work by one of their teachers. Students must show special ability for the work, must score high in character and courtesy, and must possess dignity and persever- ance in order to receive this recommendation. No student who has failed in any subject the preceding term will be allowed to enter the class and a high standard of scholarship is an asset to the applicant. Members of the present class find the work intensely interesting and accom- plish the daily routine with cheerful enthusiasm that never seems to fail. They delight in the responsibility that becomes theirs as they grow and develop in the work. Following is a list of the members: A-Nines-Louise Alexander, Pauline Smith, Lillian Nimroff, Lilliar. Brown, Marion Brooks, Louise Godfrey, Ruth Tompson, Virginia Lane, Vir- ginia Harris, Katherine Geib, Lena Feigenbaum, Ella Delcany. B-Nines-Frances Irwin, Helen Holmes, Durlene Brenham, Jerome Nemer. A-Eights--Lena Scranton, Maxine Thayer, Dorien Turton, Grace Loye.

Every pupil who studies French can be a member of the French Club. Each class has a separate set of officers. Those who serve for the first period are president, Mary Beatong secretary, llflary Louise lVIooreg treasurer, Hubert Hutchinson. The second period offi- cers include Virginia La Fon, presidentg Robert Reeve, vice-president, Louise Dresser, secretary, Charles Smith, treasurer. The following people were chosen by the third period students: Vivian Bay, presidentg Dorothy Walker, vice-presidentg Jane Everson, secretary, VVilliam Roome, treasurer. The fifth period class is represented by Elizabeth McKay, presidentg Frances Gentry, secretaryg Muriel Adams, treasurer. Regular meetings are enjoyed every week throughout the year. At the annual picnic in November several faculty members and mothers of club members were the guests of honor. The Christmas party was given the week before the Holidays. An exceptionally good program was presented and of course the refreshments were much appreciated. All members of the French Club are proud to wear the club pin which bears the words f'Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, and try to live up to the motto 'fTous pour un et un pour tous. f77l l Verse Writers' Club The Verse VV1'itersl Club is one of the oldest clubs at Le Conte, for it was organized in the fall of 1923. lvlrs. Fern R. Smith is the organizer and sponsor of this enthusiastic group of twenty-eight poets. The purpose of this club is to give its members an opportunity to become familiar with the simpler forms of verse writing and to study the principles of versification. The poems of our versewriters find their way not only into Le Conte Life. but occasionally appear in our city papers. One of our mem- bers, Jean Goorno, recently was honored by having a poem entitled Home published in the Junior Times. Elaine Babcock, a charter member, sent us a copy of one of her poems which was printed in a New York paper. The honorary members of the faculty are bliss Davidson, Miss Burgess, Mr. Bredberg, and Mr. Hawkins. The associate members include Eleanor Cooper, Vernette Trosper, Frances Tomlinson, Esther Hauschild, Ralph Chaney, and Betty Bleitz. These are the ofhcers for this term: president, Mary Alice Barmoreg vice-president, Nlaurice Goldstein, secretary, Esther Armstrong, and treasurer, Joseph Markman. The active members are Helen Bernard, Jack Botthof, Vernon Bowen, Clarence Freed, jean Goorno, Alice Griffith. Loraine Hallett, Martin Haud, Lowell Holt, Doris King, Le Roy Osborne, Helen Shaw, and Thais Shepard. U21 Girl Scouts The Girl Scouts were organized last year by Miss lllargaret Mitchell and under her capable leadership they have developed into a flourishing and help- ful club. Meetings are held once a week after school at which time the girls receive instruction about Scout laws and learn to pass the tenderfoot tests. ln addition to deriving much pleasure from the social side of the club, the girls try to be helpful and useful citizens by aiding people Who are needy and unfortunate. just before Christmas they were very busy making scrapbooks which were delivered on Christmas Day to the little children in the Orthopedic Hospital, who were very happy to receive them. The Girl Scouts try to be of service under all circumstances and endeavor to live up to their slogan, HDo a good turn' daily. Reading from left to right, bottom row, the Girl Scouts in the picture are as follows: Betty Gray, Evelyn Applebaum, Helen Abrams, Dorothy Kirchhofer, Margaret Kirchhofer, Geraldine Schwaderer, Kathryn Wolf, Anna Marting second row: Louise Seymour, lllarian Stern, Cleone Day, Florence Rosestcel, llflary Beaton, Jane Olney, Barbara Houghtong top row: Viva Mueller, Helen Allread, Mary Butler, Billie Symons, Emma Short, Shirley Ward, Dorothy Malaby.

E811 Craft Class at Work The craft room ofiers students an opportunity for individual work in its Variety of subjects. The subjects taught include the drawing and designing of objects to be made, clay modelling and the making of pottery, glazing and firing of pottery in the kiln, plaster casting and coloring, wood carving, bead Weaving. loom weaving, knitting. crocheting, embroidering, the niaking of baskets and other articles in reed, leather work, bookbinding, and a limited amount of metal work. The problems taken up by classes from one semester to another depend upon the interests of pupils as individuals and as classes. There are always groups working together on a common problem, but there is also an opportun- ity for an individual whose interests may not coincide with group work to do that which helps him most. This makes the craft room an opportunity room where the student, by seeing and choosing work carried out in such a variety of materials, may find himself. The picture above shows a class at work on a project in the history of transportation in California, beginning with Spanish ships, ox-carts, pack mules, covered Wagons, and stage coaches, through to the iron horse, steam- boat, automobile and airplane. These objects will be assembled upon com- pletion into proper groups with very simple backgrounds to give atmosphere. l32l Through the efforts of Mrs. Getsinger, home room teacher, and Elsie VVaknitz, news dis- tributer, Home Room 238 was first to subscribe one hunclrecl per cent for the Le Cnntean. Mrs. Littlefield, home room teacher, and Lena Fiegenbaum, news tlistributer, helped Home Room 216 to be the second class to obtain one hundred per cent. H331 we f b. ' M .gg,, BREAKFAST IS SERVED E341 Cooking The cooking of food was one of the first steps by which man raised himself above the lower animals. lt was an art cherished by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and is today one of the important arts of civilization. To be a successful home-maker should be the ambition of every girl, and the preparing of the food is one of the important duties of the homeemaker. ln preparing food we must take into consideration the ages of the persons eating, also their occupations. A man doing physical labor needs much more muscle-building material in his food than a person who is engaged in mental Work only. A young child must have food that is much more easily digested than that furnished an adult. In our Junior High School cooking lessons we are taught the values of different foods to the human body and the artistic preparation of food, so as to tempt the appetite. We are also taught how to prepare cheaper foods in such a way as to be as healthful and appetizing as the more expensive foods. Besides the plain cooking we make fancy puddings and pastries. Another branch of cooking we study is the planning of menus and figuring the cost of menus. We serve breakfasts, luncheons and dinners in our cooking room. We set the tables, prepare the food and serve it by ourselves to other members of the class. Table manners are not forgotten. Neatness in our cooking room is a strong point. Our aprons, caps, hands and utensils must be absolutely clean. We must also be accurate in measuring amounts, as mistakes in this would often spoil the dish we are preparing. In the accompanying picture, our cooking class has just served a breakfast. VVe are divided into three groups, each group having six girls. The groups take turns in serving breakfasts, luncheons and dinners. In serving the dif- ferent meals, we learn how to set the table, prepare the dishes, how to serve, and how to work out food costs. Some people think that in taking a cooking course you do nothing but cook. This is Wrong, because we keep notebooks containing recipes, notes on classes of foods, sick room care, child care and feeding, and many other things pertaining to the home. Some of the books are very artistically kept, having pictures illustrating the different dishes. Another interesting part of our work is the demonstrations. Some of these demonstrations are made by our teachers and some by professional demonstra- tors. One very interesting demonstration was on salads. We were shown ways of making attractive salads, and the salad dressings best suited to them. In our cooking rooms We have individual kitchens, each having a stove, sink, hot and cold water, and a complete supply of cooking utensils. We girls in the cooking classes all agree that cooking in our future homes will be much more interesting and successful for having learned the proper way m school' Micxox HANTKE, B9. E353 RV?

It was called a Three Arts program because the Nlusic, the Art and the Oral English departments combined to show the influence of the Christ Ideal upon the field of lllusic, Art and Drama. An excellent musical program accompanied the tableaux and helped to make these living pictures more effective. Preceding the play the orchestra played an overture, HAround the Christmas Tree, and introduced part two with l'Angels' Serenade. During the presentation of the masterpieces of art the Girls' Glee Club, the Boys' Glee Club, and the Boys' Choir sang several beautiful selections.

In order to win a chevron which is awarded for physical efficiency, a girl must have earned at least one hundred and seventy-five points in Gym for the previous semester. Points may be carried over from one semester to another, but no girl may receive more than one monogram a semester or receive one of the same point-value twice. A grade of A in Gym counts fifty points, B, twenty-five points, and C, ten points. Other merits which go to make up the required total are decathlon, good posture, hygiene, special service, perfect attendance and no tardiness, nutrition, marked improvement in corrective gym, and return to regular gym class from corrective. Playing on a team and playing on the winning team also have a certain point-value. Demerits are given for unsportsmanlike conduct, use of cosmetics, untidy personal appearance, tardiness to roll call, and discourtesy to classmates and teachers. Every girl who earns one of these chevrons reflects honor upon herself, the Department of Physical Education, and Le Conte Junior High School, which the monogram represents.

E971 CHAMPION TEAM OF HOME ROOM 217 Sports at Le Conte At the beginning of the Fall school term the prospects for a successful athletic year were somewhat dim because of the graduation of some of Le Conte's best athletes. A few weeks later, however, the announcement that an after-school football league was to be formed was received with joyous excla- mations by the sport-loving boys of Le Conte. A week later the promised football leagues were organized for all classrooms wishing to enter. There were three leagues organizedfone for the seventh, another for the eighth, and one for the ninth graders. Each league, it is needless to say, was a great success, because of the splendid spirit displayed by the home 1'0oms. Some teams proved stronger than others, but every team entered every game with the idea of playing hard and trying to win fairly. Quite naturally a few teams in each league displayed superior skill and used it to better advantage than others, with the result that the pennant race was soon narrowed down to a few teams in each league. In the seventh grade the leading teams were 209, 122, 117, and S201, and at the end of the league it was found that the first three above-mentioned teams still had l'championship games to play. An elimination contest was held. with the result that 209 came through with flying colors. ln the eighth-grade league Bungalow V won the pennant without losing a single game. This distinction was very difficult to obtain for there were many bigger teams playing against Bungalow V, but by splendid co-operation and spirit this team of good little fellows won out, and for that reason Le Conte is glad to welcome them as some of its real champions. The ninth-grade race was the most hotly contested ever. From the start of the league to the finish, the championship was certain to go either to 127 1931 N ' 5 MR. KI2MPTON'S FIFTH PERIOD C CHAMPIONS or 217. two ninth-grade classrooms. VVith but one more game to be played it was found that neither of the above mentioned teams had lost a game. The last game of the season between these two teams, which was for the champion- ship. was played on Friday, November the 13th, but this jinx did I1Ot prevent the two teams from putting up the most thrilling game ever played at Le Conte. The game ended with a six-to-six tie. The next lllonday, however, the two teams again tangled. The side lines were packed when 217 kicked off to start the game, which proved to be the best fight of the past season. The game, which is now a part of the history of Le Conte. was a nip and tuck battle through the four quarters, with first one team and then the other taking the lead. NVith but two minutes left to play and the score tied at twelve-all, 217 took the ball on their own twenty- seven yard line and in three plays brought the ball within five yards of their opponents, goal line. It was the third down and three yards to go for a touchdown when the 217 quarterback, on a delayed pass, tossed to the 217 right end over the goal line for the touchdown and game. 127, although beaten. displayed the true Le Contean spirit by congratulating the victors earnestly. Thus, the first football league ever at Le Conte came into history and the three champions of their respective leagues were awarded the pennants which they so earnestly labored for. The system for football leagues that was followed after school was also applied in the gym classes with the result that the championship of both A-B and C companies of the school were won by Period V Gym Class, with Period I finishing second in both companies. At the time of this writing. Le Conte is giving its attention to basket-ball leagues which have proven as popular and successful as the football leagues. I 1991 MR.

OVERMAN'S A CLASS CHAMPIONS 51001 The Temple of the Suni' The scorching mid-day sun beat down upon all India and made every animal and insect uncomfortable. including one Lieutenant Colburn of the U. S. lNfIarines, who was at that time on a wild goose chase after silver in the hills of the Houglee River. I, the recently mentioned Colburn, had come to India on the tramp ship HArctures'l as an engineer, but had left her when she put in at the ancient city of Calcutta. The next morning I was on my way before the sun had risen. for I was taking advantage of an early morning breeze to blow my little yawl to its up-river destination. Rounding a bend I came upon a beautiful pillar-filled temple. There was nothing unusual about this temple, the likeness of which could be found in many hundred places throughout India. except the location and the fact that its broad steps, fashioned of solid blocks of some rare, carved wood, led directly down to the river's edge and right out into it for a short distance. There was a hushed murmur of many voices and everywhere hung an atmosphere of expectancy. Suddenly there began the soft, weird music of Hute and drums. Out of the shadows in the background swayed three figures. The center one was evidently a priest of high rank. He wore a great head-dress with long, wavy corona which I recognized to be the emblem of the Sun God, Ra. His long, flowing, white robes were decorated with the same emblem. The two other figures followed to either side and a little to the rear. Their robes were identical with the high priest's, but they wore no head-dress, merely a turban of some silver cloth wrapped tightly about the head in true Oriental fashion. The priest proceeded to the edge of the steps where he paused, and seemed to give an order, and to face about. At this the gentle ululation of the drums began to increase and swell, and again the figures danced out of the shadows, bearing before them a huge red image of the sun, with the long, golden corona. This they bore out into the river, the priest taking his place directly in front of it. They all waded to waist level, where the priest stood motionless, with arms outstretched, for fully ten minutes. His fanatical will seemed to draw out his physical endurance almost indefinitely. All this times the drums had been making an ever-rising crescendo, until amid a final crash of drums and wail of flutes, the first rays of the morning sun shot into the temple and illuminated every shadowy corner. The throng had been writhing and undulating in the darkness, in a sort of fanatical dance, but the instant that the sun came into view, every soul in the temple raised his hands above his head, and fell rigidly on his face. The priest nodded and the image of the sun was dipped half into the water, while with lowered arms straight forward, he chanted a long, weird invocation. fiozj VVith this over, the image was lifted up, turned around and put back in place in the temple. The dance began again, and as each passed the Sun Idol, he left an offering and then made his exit. Soon all was over and I proceeded on my way as though I had seen noth- ing at all, for it might easily have made trouble if it had been known that any white man had witnessed the ritual.

As he got no answer, he went on dreamily. When I was young I was very bad. One day my father became angry and blustered so hard that I burst and left home by riding down the drain pipe.

A small fox terrier sped past the building with his tail between his legs. He tore around a corner and sped shivering to a boy and girl of about fourteen years of age. One saw that there was an astonishing likeness between the two children. These were the Brown twins, Jack and Joan. Why, Jip, what is the matter? Jack asked in an annoyed voice, but when he saw that the dog was badly frightened he added indignantly, HWhat could have frightened him? I'm going in and see who did it. Disregarding his sister's objections he marched belligerently around the grounds with Jip slinking after him. After a fruitless search they were about to give up, when they passed the windows of the big library from which issued the unmistakable sounds of voices. The twins looked at each other in silence and then crept to the other end of the building. Once there their tongues were loosened and a torrent of words issued forth. Who could be there at this time of night?'y It can't be one of the teachers because I stayed at Ann's, just across the street, and saw them all go. They stared at each other in consternation. Finally Jack whispered, Come on, Sis! I know where there's a window that doesn't lock, and we'll go in and see what's the matter. He marched off, and, not to be outdone, Joan followed, but with many backward glances. ,lip unwillingly acted as rear guard. Having succeeded in entering, they now stood outside the library door. Both regretted having come, but neither was willing to show it. After some delay the door was opened, with not as much noise as might have been expected, and it was clearly a case of after you, my dear Alphonse. Eventually they entered together with much shaking of knees, and legs that protested vigorously against doing their duty. Clinging to the walls they encircled the room, trying to see in the dim light. As they reached the farther end of the room, a small figure arose from behind a table. A figure in evening dress, tall silk hat and gray hair, a figure that peered dreamily at them over shell-rimmed spectacles and at length faded into air, leaving behind it the motionless figures of the paralyzed twins, and silence. Shrill screams rent the air, there was a sudden bump and Jack found himself on the floor, blinking like an owl at the lighted room. He looked around to discover his sister sitting up in bed and exclaiming angrily, f'How can I sleep when you make such a noise? You shouldn't have gone to the picnic if you would eat pickles and ice cream together. FRANCES jouxsox, B9. L 105 1 The Greatest Fish Story of All It was a beautiful day-that is, beautiful for fishingfcloudy, and with a slight breeze. After three hours of impatient waiting, I pulled in the finest speckled trout I've ever seen, a beauty, fully fifteen inches long. I have often wondered who was really more excited, myself or the fish. As I looked at the poor thing, I suddenly thought of a novel idea. VVhy kill it? Would it not be nicer to have it as a pet? I started to fondle it and suddenly realized that if I didn't put it back into water again it would die. I hurried home ffortunately I lived near byj and filled a tub with water. How eagerly my pet swam around its new quarters. I am sure it was happy. Then started a faithful training course. In one week Freckles fmy petls Christian namej was able to remain out of water a whole hour. In a month's time it lived out of water a half day. ,lust at about this period it started to follow me around, especially when I called it by its name. This seemed almost impossible. People from all over the country came to see my Freckles. Museuins from all over the world offered me fabulous sums, if I would only sell it. But I refused everybody. My pet was more precious to me than money-especially since now the old wash tub was a thing of the past. My fish lived entirely out of water. Really, my joy knew no bounds! But all good things must end, but I shall never forget the day when I was going to visit my auntie who lived across the river. We had to cross over a bridge. I say we because by now my pet never left me for an instant, and was able to keep pace with me by a peculiar hop which it had developed. Some careless workmen, who were replacing some planks, left an open space in the bridge, and as we were crossing, my poor little fish fell through the hole. VVith tears in my eyes and terror in my heart I saw my pet struggling in the water, but before help could be obtained, it was drowned! OLIVE LEVY, A7.

L 106 1 Spoken by a Fossil I was a little Brachiosaurus only about two hundred and forty feet long. I had a neck that was longer than a giraffe's, a head the size of a rabbit's, and a tail the size of a house. I lived near the falls of the Hudson River. The falls are now covered by the sea. I loved to drink the muddy water of the great river as it went hurtling down the great cliff and on to the sea. The falls were only about nine hundred and thirty feet high. But water was not the only thing that went down the cliff. Now and then some tiny Brontosaur would fall down and be swept off to sea. Every now and then some Tyrannosaurus would playfully make a mouth- ful of my tail, as he clumsily hopped along. Then I would debate with myself whether I should nip him in return, swat him with my tail, or just roll him flatter than a Flounder. After reaching the important decision, I would play tag with him and carry out my desire. I did not eat meat. I browsed on the succulent herbage growing in the nearby swamps. lf I didn't eat meat, the Tyrannosaurus did, and whole droves of them came and played f'Get Your Mealn with me. I was the meal and they were the getters, but fortune was with me and somehow I remained intact except for occasional bites. Oh! How I loved the swamps. They were my birthplace, my mother, my doom and my grave. This was my fate: One lovely hot day when I was eating a sweet-tasting shrub, a drove of Tyrannosaurus came toward me and started to play f'Get Your NIeal. I was sulky, however, and walked off to an island of sand to drowse and bask in the rays of the sun. But I paid dearly for my fit of temper. Suddenly the sand gripped meg I couldn't move. Panic seized me, but the harder I tried the deeper I was mired. Pterodactyles came and started to eat me. A Tyrannosaurus came to eat part of me but was gripped by the treacherous sand. Down, down, down we sank until we were completely lost in the depths of the island. lVIany millions of years later I again saw the light, but it was colder, and strange things that hopped on two legs and had no tails and strange skins were standing by me. They had queer claws and made strange noises. I noticed that they were able to remove their claws at will. I was terror-stricken as they reached toward me. I remember nothing for a while until some queer-looking beings called scientists took my bones falas, to my shame, I had nothing elsej and mounted them in a large hall where there were the bones of my cousins. lVIore funny creatures came to look at me and made more strange noises. Oh! how I long for the swamps of my childhood! Woooizow BORAH. f 107 J The Village Blacksmith H925 Modelj Under an ad for gasoline, The village smithy stands, He's agent for the Jinx machine. And several other brands. He hasn't shod a horse for years. For fear he'd soil his hands. He wears a gold watch on his wrist, A pearl pin in his tieg His links are made of amethyst. The finest he could buy. There's not a thing the smithy wears, That doesn't please the eye. VVeek in, week out, from morn till night, He sees the autos come, With brakes that are not working right, And axles on the bumg With gas, repairs, and grease and oil, He makes a tidy sum. He has a staff of skillful men, That number twenty-four, Who toil from 6 a. m. till 10, And sometimes even more. The smithy never docs a stroke. He thinks that work's a bore. He goes on Sunday to the kirk, His mind quite free from cares. Because his men are hard at work, On punctures and repairs, And if the Weatherys fine and warm, The smith says grateful prayers. Oiling, refilling, repairing, Onward through life he goes, And never once despairing, As long as his income grows, Each night the thought of some one done Augments his sweet repose. BETTY MACKAY, B9 f ws J The Heroine of the Lighthouse It was a sultry mid-summer day. The air was suffocating, and the horizon was very uneven. The clouds were rocking to and fro uneasily as though awaiting an oncoming storm. At least that was what Joan Randall thought as she busily went about the tasks which were her daily occupation in her father's house. Joan was the only child of james Randall, the lighthouse keeper. Her mother died shortly after she was born, but that was fourteen years ago, and she was rapidly approaching young womanhood. WVhen her work was finished she went upstairs to light the lamp in the tower. Then she sat down to await her father's arrival. The kettle was bub- bling merrily, as if it were trying to keep in time with Goldie, Joan's pet canary. As time flew on, Joan began to get anxious about her father. The clouds were growing blacker every minute, and white caps were beginning to appear on the waves. Drops of rain were growing larger and larger, while her anxiety increased. Her father had gone to see a sick friend. but had been detained by the storm. The storm by this time was at its full, everything was in utter darkness outside, and the waves were beating against the lighthouse with fury. Joan had seated herself by the window. As she looked out into the dark- ness, she saw a small light, hardly visible, rocking to and fro. She knew that this rnust be a ship, so she went upstairs to the tower to get a better view, but she was horrified when she got up there to find that the lamp had fallen and spilled the last of the oil. She knew that she must get oil before the ship reached the dangerous Devil's Shoal, near which the lighthouse was situated. VVhat should she do? There was only one thing. That was to row over to the mainland and get some more oil. Only too well did joan know the dangers one would encounter crossing from the lighthouse to the mainland in a storm. But it would have to be done, so slipping on her hat and coat. she started out. The storm was still raging outside, and Joan had a hard time guiding the boat against the current. Nevertheless, after much difficulty she finally managed to reach the landing. Borrowing some oil from a friend, she started back to the lighthouse. All went well until she reach the lighthouse. Unex- pectedly an enormous wave swept over and swamped the boat. -Ioan leaped just in time and caught a rope. It was the rope which kept the row boat from floating away. A few minutes later joan, dripping wet, climbed in at one of the windows. Although greatly fatigued, she ran quickly upstairs to the tower. In a few minutes the lamp was burning brightly. Exhausted from her adventure, and not waiting to see what effect the lamp had upon the ship, she lay down on her bed and sank into a deep sleep. The next morning when she awoke, she was surprised to see a little group f109l around her bedside, most of whom were strangers to her, except her father and a few friends. Her father, who had returned in the rescued ship, had been informed of -loan's heroic act. The passengers who had been aboard the ship assembled to thank their rescuer. But what ,Ioan was most thankful for was the thought that she had done hem duty. RITA RVIARRAH, B7. Life or Death F' A girl stood in the line with looks of anxiety and hope alternating upon her face. Ah, they went so slowly. YVhy couldnlt they hurry? YVould she ever get there? Vvhat luck! They moved. She thought she saw her way clear at last. But no, they stopped. She was in a panic. Oh, why couldnyt that line move forward. lVhat could she do without it? She couldnlt survive without it. She must not fail. All the thoughts of her childhood came back to her. VVhat would they say if she failed? Should she push? She pushed and pushed. The crowd swayed backward and forward. Oh, she hoped she could get it. For what reason? VVhy, her very life depended on it. There was no doubt but she must have it. Tick, tick, tick, went the clock. VVould she get it? l'Tick, tick, tickfl Soon it would be too late. She was up there. She asked if it was there. The girl in the uLost and Found looked. The girl held her breath. The girl in the 'ALost and Foundu came back with clenched hand. The girl took it. She examined it. lt was all right. She had it in her hand, that thing her life depended on-her CUITI HCI. P RUTH BERGER, A7. Farewell to the Seniors Dear Seniors, we bid thee good-bye.
