That idea has'been given ,up by most, but hishideals will forever be cherished in the hearts of the English speaking peo- ple. ,Tenriysorfs Idylls 'of the Kingl' whichjhave' fittiiigly preserved these, gave us the idea for the theme expressed in 'The Crossesn of 1931. Qur four' years in high school have prepared as to' more confidently meet all life's dragons, in gvhatever form they may come. Then, when time has eventually dimmed the memories of our .famous -Njustsv here, may this book recall them for your enjoyment. y H A 5-The Editor. e. g mmap .n- f Q 1 f N 'R 9 0 o g 5 'f'mSf 3fw enionf 9.

The teacher helps us to mould the life of the future generation. It is the spirit of cheerful- ness, of industry, of helpfulness-the general desire of every faculty member to take a personal interest in the students, that make the Las Cruces Union High School an outstanding school of the Southwest. lt is to Our Faculty, whom we have learned to love and admire because they stand for the best things-in life, that we dedicate this book. sf iii W Page eleven rw Ye , sf s ? l i L...,n. .

Then the King in low, deep tones, And simple words of great authority, Bound them by so starit vows to his own selt That when they rose, knighted, from kneeling, some Were pale as at the passing of a ghost, Some flushed, and others dazed, as one who wakes Half-blinded at the coming of a light. But when he spake, and cheered his Table Round With large, divine, and comfortable words, Beyond my tongue to tell thee-I beheld 3 From eye to eye through all their Order flash A momentary likeness of the King.

We were well represented in all extra-curricular activities. James Savelle represented our school in oratory, and there were many others Whom we cannot take space to mention. Several dropped out during the year but, due to the good management of our class officers and our sponsor, we turned out very well. As Sophomores, we were termed Wise Fools, but that did not Ht us at all. If they had said only Hwisef' We might have agreed with them but, as it was, we did not. We started a play, but were not able to carry it through, as several of those taking part were taken ill. This year, too, we were well represented in Typing, Football, Basketball, etc. We picked Mr. Williams for our sponsor this year, and we appre- ciate the work he did for us. Rah! Rah! Rah! Three cheers for the Juniors! Why? Because of their great accomplishments in everything. '6Dupes, Wilbert, and Bob gained honors in foot- ball and basketball, While our president, Lincoln Anderson, starred in track. Ada McBride won the state prize for short story writing, and Don Hanna won the prize for poetry writing. Dorothy Williams won a prize on her Chemistry Essay, and also represented us at the Music Meet. Tommy Graham made an excellent yell leader. Then our banquet-there is so much to say about that that we really can not take the space, but it was a great success. It should have been, after all the work that Mr. Williams, Miss Morehead, and most of the members of the class, did. And this year: Bursey, Dupes,7' Wilbert, Black, Miller, Sierra, and Gilmer made names for themselves in football. ln basketball, uDupes,', Wilbert and Bursey starred. Tommy Graham went out for debating. ln shorthand, Lucy Medina, Max- ine Kuhnley, Aurora Biel and Karin Reiter did their stuff. ln typing, Glen Maveety worked hard. About the middle of the year, it was discovered that our president, Lincoln An- derson, was married. He quit school. and the presidency was handed over to Tommy Graham, then vice-president. Both of them did their work very eiliciently. Dorothy Williams. Tom Bill lnsall, Tommy Graham, and others, helped out in the Music Meet. The Union,' was another success this year, and that was probably because the important places on the staff were held by seniors. Then last, but not least, we want to mention the Annual. Much credit is due Mr, Mayfield and Miss Morehead, our sponsors, Helen Phillips, editor-in-chief, and Tommy Graham, business manager, and all of the remaining members of the staff, for their untiring eiiorts to make this book a success.

Cox E ALL BECAME well acquainted with Mrs. Cox, when she was our Sponsor last year. It is to her that we really owe the necessary start in our school life. She has always been most helpful and willing to enter into anything we wish to do and, at the same time, lend- ing the guiding hand that kept our enter- prises from failure. She is a good sport, as well as a wise leader, and we shall al- ways remember our Junior Sponsor. MR. EDWARD PRICE HIS IS Mr. Price's first year with our class and he has proved it to be a good one. He has stood by the ,lun- iors through thick and thin and has been very valuable as an Assistant Sponsor. Always, when needed, he has helped us. He has rightfully gained the title of our right hand manf, Page llzirly llrnw PHYLLIS SLINGERLAND, CLASS PRES.

However, we put one over on the presumptuous upper classmen and proved that the sap played the most vital part in its growth. By our Co- operation and enthusiasm we won the reputation of being the peppiest class in the school, taking part in all its activities and making the most of every opportunity to show our varied and numerous virtues. We passed through an eventful Sophomore year with such success that by the time we became Juniors we were ready to win all the honors. Our modesty precludes the mention of our superiority over the other classes, so we shall omit the facts that the Juniors were outstanding in their school work, as well as in all the extra-curri- cular eventsg that we included in our number the captains of both the football and basket ball teams, as well as a good share of the athletes participating in these acti- vitiesg that we did more than our share of debating, declaiming, literary composi- tion, and gum-chewing, and that we excelled in all the sciences, music, and com- mercial activities. We shall utterly disregard the facts that in the inter-class track meet, the Juniors came out next the top, and that in the dramatic line the Junior play was one of the feature attractions of the year. Our modesty will only permit us the simple statement of the fact that on the whole the Junior class is one of the most sublime, superb, resolute, noble, spirited, and unobtrusive classes with which the high school has ever been favored. We mention no outstanding individuals in our class, because our number is composed completely of stars. The Seniors may form the 6'Knights,' in the tale, but the 'ldazei' in the head comes not from the umoonshinev of the 'LKnights,', but from the natural brilliance of these stars. The Seniors' armor of erudition is indeed a coveted possession, but the teach- ers will bear witness to the fact that it had to be hammered on. And, besides, what,s the armor without the knight? The Juniors merely need a little more pounding on the seat -of their knowledge, before they become 6'Knights,' in full armor. How- ever, there will always be a umourningi' in the ueveningv of our school lives for the pleasant Hdazef' before we donned the armor of knowledge and became the Nknightsn of our alma mater. Our sponsors, Mrs. Cox and Mr. Price, are right there, always on the job, and we Juniors hope they will be with us again next year. We know they will be there with the can-opener in case we should get stung. And, although we may be completely cremated by the fires of our enthusiasm before we finish our high school course, nevertheless, just watch our smoke! for-ly . ' 'L s f . u', 'Vf19 -' ' - 1 , . Lj,.

Mr. Nelson was very wisely chosen sponsor for the second time. He has been active in all fields and has helped us unceasingly during the two years he has been our sponsor. The Sophomores are well represented in the athletic field. Hookey,' Apodaca, well known even as a fresh- man, and f'Firpo', Fresquez, are two on the first team. A large number of the Sophomore girls were in the Pep Squad, two of them being leaders. They proved to be very peppy and were also a great help to Miss Locke. The Sophomores have been well represented in all school functions this year.

Freshmen NE BRIGHT, sunny September day a flock of green, goggle-eyed, Freshies came stumbling up to the doors of their Waterlw. The numbers above the rooms never received so much attention before, as they did then. These young hopefuls bowed to the Seniors, rubbered at the Juniors, and gave appealing looks to the Sophomores. When the class had its first meeting, they elected the following officers to head their class for the year: President, Dorothy Franceg Vice-President, Scott Taylorg secretary and treasurer, Murray Kramerg reporter, Betty Hess. Miss Rocker, filling the position of Sponsor for the class, proved a great help to the ignorant little fish at times. Murray was also elected Assistant Yell-leader. The Freshmen showed great loyalty during the football and basket- ball seasons. Danny Williams, our most popular boy, made his letter in football. The Freshmen boys were runners-up for the boys' inter-class basketball tournament. The girls showed their ability in winning the girls' inter-class basketball tournament. Many of the Freshmen pupils have been on the Honor Roll this year. Their progress in their studies exceeds that of many of the upperclassmen. Here's hoping they keep it up throughout their high school years. Page fnrly Kms. if , l 'R .AJ- . ..

Orchestra HIS LAS CRUCES HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA is one of the most active and worth-while organizations in the school. Interest has steadily increased during the past two years, under the competent leadership of lVlrs. Corley. There has been a membership gain of twenty- hve percent during the last year, and attendance at the weekly rehearsals has been almost perfect. The Orchestra has made several pulmlic appearances, both at plays and in assembly, delighting the audience with classical and popular num- hers. At the State Music Meet this organization very ci-editahly represented the school. Several of its members participated in the solo contests. Only a few rnemhers will lie lost lmy graduation, and even greater achiex enicnts are expected next year.

But Mr. Nagel held out until we Could play well enough not to disgrace the school. After playing at two football games. we felt all ustuck upf' Then came the basketball season.

Home Economies T OUR bi-monthly meetings, we have reports from different C0111- niittees, after which we generally have some sort of entertainment, such as games or other kinds of interesting programs. Among the social events of the year, we have a joint meeting with the '6Ag Club and Manual Training boys, in the form of a party, which was well attended.

There was always a fighting spirit in Frank, and we hope to see him hack again next year. FRED LOGAN : As quarterback Fred did some excellent work. lt was very seldom that Fred couldn't get behind the interference for a good long gain. This was Fred's second year. W. E. PHILLIPS: Playing his first and last year with the Bull- dogs, HDupes,' showed up well at end. His fight- ing spirit helped a great deal to win most of the games he played in.

It is too bad that he didn't come out for football before his senior year, as he played a wonderful game at halfback. FRANK MAXWELL. This was Franlcls first year with the Bulldogs and he took a position at halfback. ln case the Bulldogs needed any yardage through the line, the team could always depend on Frank. Good luck to him next year. Page sixty-three Cf, 1-41-11 HERMAN LUNEBRING. 'LLuny came to us from the Institute, and was one of the best ends we ever had. His interference running was the best, but less cannot be said about his ability to receive forward passes. G'Luny will be back with us next year. BOB BURSEY. Bob was another Senior who made his letter last year, and we hate to see him go. Bob was an- other good end and showed up well at all times. Bob broke up many of the opponents, end runs.

He was a tower of strength on both offense and de- fense, and helped a great deal to win the games. uHookie will be back again next year. .vixly-four s PAUL TROUT. This was Paulls first year with the team, and he played guard. Paul developed into a great guard, and was to be depended upon. Paul will be back next year. WOODROW MILLER. Woody graduates this year, and so only had time to make one letter, which he made at center. He was always on hand at the defense, and stopped many plays from coming through. DAVID GONZALES. This was David's first year with the team. He showed up very well at right tackle. His playing will he remembered in the Indian game especially. He will be back again next year. I I Page sixty v l l WII.BERT PHILLIPSH This was '4Pretty Boyisn last year with the team. He made one letter alternating at tackle and center. He was the team's mainstay at those positions and will he missed greatly next year. He was strong on the offense and better on the defense.

About 28 players attended the camp in preparation for the football season. The camp helped a great deal, as there were many new men to be taught. The first game of the season was on September 19, with Fabens. This was a Very one-sided game and Cruces held the long end of the 71-7 score. One week later, on September 26, the boys from Hatch came down to give the Bulldogs a little competition, but when they left their ambitions were shattered, as Cruces had no trouble at all in beating them 32-0. Anthony came next and went out like a light, 45-6. Anthony had a big team, but not quite smart enough. After a Week of hard drilling the Bulldogs prepared for a journey to Albuquer- que to play the Indian boys. The game was played on a rainy morning, but even this did not hinder the steps of the Bulldogs in running up a score of 19-0. The victories still remained unbroken. Throu hout the next week rumors were oin around about Bowie beating tl D 3 S G rw Cruces. Wlxen the appointed time came and the game was terminated the score stood 6-6. You can fi ure it out for ourselves that it was the hardest and best fou ht S ' Y g game on the Cruces gridiron for the year. ' Tularosa went down before the Bulldogs, October 25, by a score of 13-6. An- other good game passed on in the book of history. The Bulldogs were due for a setback, as they usually get a little overconfident each vear: they picked on Austin High for this. The score half way was 12-0 on the side of the aggressors, but ended up in a victory for the Bulldogs, 25-12. Deming came along and fell beyond by a score of 61-6. Deming boys are good sports and at times put out good teams. - The St. Mike's game was called off on account of snow. Too bad! or? Turkey Day arrived and the termination of the season with the Bulldogs out to avenge defeat of last year at the hands of Roswell. They succeeded in their efforts and won 18-7. Thus ended the first undefeated season for L. C. U. H. S. By comparing the scores of the various high school teams of the state, we feel justified in making claim to the New Mexico high school championship for the 1930 season.

Bob's last year at the high school saw him as a bas- ketball star as well as football. As a guard he was hard to beat. Bob saw a good deal of time in High School basketball. ...i l' 'nur W Lettermen 1. WILBERT PHILLIPS.

Basketball The basketball season of 1931 was almost perfect, in fact it was so close to perfect that we often wonder why we don't see a State Championship trophy in the case. The state meet was lost, but only to a better team, Forrest High. All the games played before the State Meet were fast and exciting. ' There was always room for one more goal and the Bulldogs always wanted one more. They usually got it and that's why they won. It was because of their fighting spirit and good sportsmanship. ' Only two games were lost during the season--one to El Paso and one to Anthony. The latter was made good when the Bulldogs turned the score around in a return match and won by a much larger score. During the District Meet at Deming, Cruces won all of their games by doubling the score on their opponents. The following week they lost in the State Tourna- ment to the champions by two points. . Next year the Bulldogs will have the same team back and we all hope Coach Corley will develop a champion team. Cruces, 43 vs. Deming, 15. Cruces, 37 vs. Austin Hi, 30. Cruces, 28 vs. Lordsburg, 23.

All meet at a railroad station at Centerville. Spike Nichols Qplayed by Solomon Manassej, a prize ighter, and his manager, Earl Parker iplayed by Frank Maxwellj, have been using' Purple 'Towers for training quarters and are making their escape, when they learn that they left the contract for the big light back in the place. They are compelled to returnl for it. Their having occupied the house without permission has given rise to the story that Purple Towers is haunted. Miss Applegate, informed of the fact, scoffs at lt. She invites the young novelist to join her as guest at the Vanderlip mansion, and he accepts. They leave for Purple Towers in Hank's Taxi. Hank lplayed by Tommy Grahamy is the town mayor, attorney, lawyer, judge, manager of the Pink Taxi Co. and all other im- portant offices in the city. ACT II At Purple Towers, the search for the contract by the hidden Red and Parker gives the impression that the place is haunted. Bradley's valet, Snowball fplayed by Glenn Maveetyjg and Tillie fplayed by Suzanne Johnsonl, Miss Applegate's maid, are especially affected by the happenings. Tillie collects the valuables of the guests in a suitcase, which is accidentally exchanged with one belonging to Spike. Mary is accused of the theft, and almost arrested 'by the town law fplayed by W. E. Phlllipsl. Philip Bradley is so deeply in love that he forgets a dislike he has for the Vanderlip family, and the curtain falls with the prospect of a wedding Through the excellent directing of Mrs. Corley, the chorus was able to make about ninety dollars. Page Giilllllj'-Six' ---1 Sneak Dag V The Seniors held their annual Sneak Day on May 6th, 1931, and did we go! We assembled at 7:30 with much lunch, piled into the Fords and other cars, that took over the hills for Dripping Springs. Did we have a good time? I should say so! We even got Miss Morehead and Mr. Mayfield to go with us. As soon as we arrived, a little boy proceeded to get into devilment and was called down. One couple had to go hide out until dinner time. Now, what did they do? Oh, well, it's a great life to be in love, but a greater one not to be. Eats!! Eats!! What's this? Boy, those sandwiches were certainly good, and how! Gee, this day's going fast! Why, we just got here. Four o'clock. Time to get started for home. Well, we had a swell time anyway, while it lasted. We want to thank Mr. Mayfield and Miss Morehead for the splendid chaperoning. Hope they enjoyed the picnic, because I know all the Seniors did-even Lo Ree Kent and Suzanne Johnson. - ' A7 Goofy Dag Goofy Day started out with a bang! Same of the Seniors seemed to have gone back to their second childhoodg and they looked as young and ignorant as they pretended. Bama seems to have turned to a farmer, at least, he was advertising farm relief. Others seemed to have gone back to their grandmothers' days. Connie Palmer was a typical old maid schoolteacher. Tommy seemed to have turned cowboy, only I doubt if he ever saw a horse. Wilbert made a better looking girl than boy, especially in pajamas. Some of the boys got Utuckered out before noon, and changed into their sensible clothes, although, I will admit, they looked goofier than usual that way. R. A. and Ross made good girls, but they were a little too boyish.. Undoubtedly, we had more variations cn goofy day than ever before-children, grand- mothers, country klds, prospectors, school-teachers, cowboys, girls, farmers, professors, and many other conceivable ideas. Assembly was filled with laughs as we paraded across the stage. After a sketch of Skidding was given, we paraded up town to advertise the play. At last, 3:15 came-gladly we went home, donned- more comfortable clothing and pledged ourselves never to be goofy again. Page eighty seven P WHO OTH E THINGS Yell Leaders - BETTINA MUNDAY TOMMY GRAHAM MURRAY KRAMER Pep Squad Red Peppers! Well, how's that for a name? Maybe you didlff k110W if, but that is the name of the L. C. U. H. S. Pep Squad. We organized by electing Jo Betty Green, President: Josephine Lucero, Secretary-treasurer, and Miss Locke as our leader. Miss Locke deserves special praise for her time and efforts spent in organizing drills for the pep squad. How's this for attractive uniforms-white sweaters and skirts, for some, and white trousers and sweaters for the others-but always the determined Old Bulldog bedecking the front. The Red Peppers had a drill for every game, and did their best to cheer the boys along. At last the grand finale!!! Our brilliant yell-leader succeeded in securing a grand feed-Free! Pep Rally--yes that's what it was. Almost every boy and girl from high school attended. Thanksgiving night a turkey banquet was served to the home and visiting teams, by the Home Eco- nomic girls and the Pep Squad assisted in serving. age ninety ,gli Dad Enghsh What would school be like without Dad English?-always on the job and ready to please every- one. It's hard to imagine, isn't it? Dad is everybody's friend from the time we enter the hall in the morning and sav good morning, Dad until we leave at night. You may have noticed, too, the flowers and shrubbery on the grounds, and wondered who was are- sponsible for them. Well, that is some of Dad's work. We are all proud of the beautiful flowers, the fountain of lilies, and all the green shrubbery that goes to make the Las Cruces Union High School and campus such a pleasant looking spot, and to no one but Dad English do we owe our appreciation. l'r1gef IlI'llf 'l.Y'Ullt l CALENDAIQ SEPTEMBER 3.
