MURDOCK was elected a Trustee of the California School of Me- chanical Arts, May 4, 1900, succeeding A. S. Hallidie, one of the original group named by James Lick, and remained on the Board until his death, which occurred January 11, 1928. ln the newspaper notices following his death, emphasis was placed on the public offices which he had filled with an outstanding record of ability and integrity, but he was even more devoted to the affairs of literature, education, religion and philanthropy. Born in Massachusetts, he spent the latter part of his youth in Humboldt County, California, where he completed his school- ing, did some teaching, learned the printer's trade, published a newspaper, served as Register of the U. S. Land Office, and represented the county in the State legislature. Later he removed to San Francisco, where he established the printing firm hearing his name-a firm that became known for its admir- ahle code of business ethics. Here, too, he became prominent in civic affairs, and served at times on the Board of Education and on the Board of Super- visors. He was also active in the Work of numerous philanthropic organ- izations, and was particularly interested in the Boys' Aid Society, of which he was one of the founders. lle belonged to the group of literary printers that included Bret Harte, Mark Twain. and other California celebritie.s. Having outlived these con- temporaries, he was frequently called on to tell about them. He served for forty years or so as Superintendent of the Sunday school of the Unitarian Church of this city, and published the Pacific Unitarian, a monthly magazine in which his editorials were models of literary composition and were widely noticed for their spirit of tolerance. In them, as in the council room, he expressed his opinions clearly and courageously, but never in a controversial manner. VVithout the complete composure by which he was characterized he could not have carried such a continuous load of work and responsibility and live to the age of eighty-seven. Our school is proud to have had a place in his abundant life. lIPage ill QI at f ma f it zttfit' Ig, 015132 jfuunhing uf the wilmerhing Qnhuul 1 -i- His is the third of a series of articles having . to do with the founding of the Lick, XVilmer- . -ssifixv ding and Lux Schools. The previous ones have referred to the Lick School. While Mr. Lick was one of the best known characters among the early Californians, Mr. NVilmerding's name, on the contrary, seldom appeared in print. ln business circles he was known as J. C. Vllilmerding, and few of his associates knew that the HJ. Cf, stood for Jillis Clute. By his intimate friends he was called Clute Nllilmerding. As these names would indicate, he came from stock that included the early Dutch Settlers of New York. 'i - -'- '-'l He was born in Moscow, Livingston County, New J- f'- WILMPIRDTNG York, on April 28, 1833, and was educated at Temple Hill Academy, Genesee, N. Y. During the excitement following the discovery of gold in California two of his cousins de- cided to sail for the new El Dorado, and Clute obtained his father 's consent to accompany them as a partner. They chartered the schooner Samuel M. Fox and sailed from New York on March 21, 1849, reaching San Francisco on September 21, 1849. They put up their tent on the beach at a spot about where the Bank of Cali- fornia now stands-California and Sansome streets. The enterprise was not successful and Clute found himself far from home without any money. He then went to the mines, but was too young to do more than make a scant living there. Being ashamed to go back to New York a failure, he returned to San Francisco with a determination to work and save enough money to repay the five thousand dollars which his father had advanced to him. This he succeeded in doing, taking the fathcr's receipts for the full amount, with interest. In addition to the amount which he had paid his father, he had saved a few thousand dollars and intended to go back to the mines and start a store. He missed the boat, which was to have taken him to Sacramento, and as there was but one boat a week, he was going back from the wharf to his lodging wondering what he would do next, when he chanced to meet Mr. Calvin Fargo, whom he knew slightly and who offered him a position as salesman. Although it was on this chance meeting that the foundation of his fortune was laid, there is no doubt that the subsequent superstructure of his success as a merchant and a financier was the product of his own efforts. Into Mr. Fargo 's business he brought those same sturdy and sterling qualities by which he had over- come adversity and redeemed his obligations to his father. NVithin a few years he was given an interest in the business, and after Mr. Fargo 's retirement Mr. Wilmerding became the senior party and principal owner. A considerable measure of his success was due, also, to his pleasing person- ality. XVithout an exception those of his acquaintance whom I have met have made mention of his genial and sympathetic nature as an outstanding charac- teristic. To his amiability, no doubt, can be traced the interest taken in the llPage 611 QI irfwfirzrife Ig, early work of the school by his intimate friends, and more recently by the last survivor of them, Richard Varick Dey, who bequeathed to us Sf1200,000 as a token of his affection for Mr. Vliilmerding. Mr. Wilmer-ding died at San Francisco on February 20, 1894, leaving to the Regents of the University of California the sum of SB400,000 with which To establish and maintain a school, to be called tThe XVilmerding School of lndus- trial Artsl, to teach boys trades, fitting them to make a living with their hands, with little study and plenty of workw. He had thought of placing the funds in the hands of the trustees of the Lick School, and had conferred with Horace Davis, President of the Lick Board, in the matter, to make sure that it could be legally administered by them, but knowing that his strength was failing fast and fearing to delay the signing of his will, he named the Regents of the University as trustees. There is a law in California which provides that a bequest for such a purpose cannot be carried out unless the will containing it was executed at least thirty days before the death of the person making the will, Mr. lVilmerding, knowing of this law, and being anxious that nothing should prevent his wish from being carried out, placed in the hands of Mr. Thomas J. Lamb this private secretaryj and Mr. Nlfilliam Alvord, both of whom were named as executors in the will, bonds of the value of SlS400,000 and told them, if anything should happen to him within thirty days from the mak- ing of his will, those bonds were to be given to the Regents, to endow the school. His determination to establish a school of this kind was prompted by the bitter experience that followed his arrival in California. Having left home at. the age of sixteen, he had no opportunity to acquire a trade, and the need of one was sorely impressed on him whenever he recalled the helpless condition in which he found himself when his youthful business venture failed. So he always took a lively interest in boys-though he never had any of his own, having remained a bachelor. Perhaps his early hardships in California, coming on him so suddenly, made him look with greater fondness on the scenes and pleasures of his interrupted boyhood. At all events, whether walking on the street or driving along in his carriage, he would frequently stop to watch groups of boys at play, or to converse with them about their prospects, and sometimes give them good advice-or something more substantial, if needed. XVhat a marvelous school it would be, if every boy in it would imbibe some of the spirit of the Founder! GEORGE A. M RRRILL. GSJQTJQZQ IlPagc 711 QI 31 fwfziziffe Ig, Jfaculties GEORGE A.

Just as the young men of the Middle Ages went through years of apprenticeship as pages and squires before they were given the degree of knighthood and sent out into the world on their own resources, so are we of the 28J class, having served two years as pages and two years as squires, about to receive our diploma of knighthood and step out into the world, prepared for what may come. Entering our period of preparation as pages in August, 1924, We began to receive our first instructions in the handling of the broadsword of education. Under the direction of senior advisors Frank Haley at Lick, and Norine Renard at Lux, we passed a very successful term as Low l?'rcslnnen. Our second term saw Ralph Abbott and Frances Canfield in the executive positions. The class was getting into the spirit of thc school and was well represented in athletics. Besides, we had given several very successful plays at the rallies and had held two interesting debates. Basil Grillo and Doris .Priddle guided our destinies in our low sophomore year as did Ben Gilmore and Frances Canfield during the next term. We had now completed our two years of apprenticeship as lower classmen or pages and were about to enter our second period of training as upper classmen or squires under the guidance of Jack Nichols and Viola Young. Our biggest social event was the Junior-Freshman Picnic at lilr. Mig- hall's place which was a great success. Our presidents in our high junior year were Basil Grille and Verna Selmer and they gave us a pcppy term, climax- ed with a great luncheon. Ah! finally we had achieved the coveted place at the head of the parade , and were now high an' mighties' t. Our low senior year found Paul Magilligan and Lillian Schaeffer in office and they put over another outstanding term. Our class was well represented in all fields of athletics and numerous school activities. Our final term at Lick, NVilmerding and Lux, saw Donald McLach- lan and Viola Young ruling our destinies. Naturally our efforts have been concentrated on putting over thc best Senior Dance ever, and we hope we have been successful. In receiving our four years of training, we have absorbed a great deal of that wonderful spirit that is so distinctive of these schools. Also, ive have made lasting friendships that, coupled with the fine training we have rc- ceived, will help us to be successful in whatever quests we may pursue in the outer world. Some of us aspire to the higher ranks of baron and prince and so will continue our education in college. VVhatever our course may be, ive, who have been deemed fit to be graduated from these schools, and who are just starting at the lowest rung in the ladder of success. feel that we have an advantage over the other fellow' in that we have received our training at these institutions. llPage ISI QI rfwfzrfirife 15: QEIHSS will E, the class of QSJ, being of sound mind and memory, but remembering the uncertainty of school life, do hereby ordain, publish, and declare this to be our sole will and testament.

Sudanese Secret Service T was a stiiiing day in the spring of 1897, and great heat waves shimmered over the desert as far as the eye could reach. I was cursing the love of adventure that had caused me to leave the blessed London fogs, and join Kitchener's forces in this forsaken place. Our commander, Major Ainsworth, was storming in his tent, and venting his wrath on everyone who approached him. Our supplies had failed to come up, he had a touch of sun, and worst of all, he was in the shadow of an approaching battle with no information con- cerning his enemy's resources or movements. The Caliph of Omdurman was daily becoming more audacious in his raids. and a united holy war was expected at any moment. An orderly came to where I was sitting and motioned me to the major 's tent. HLieutenant Vaughn, said the major, HI have orders from the High Command to dispatch you to Omdurman at once. As your knowledge of Arabic and Arabian customs is perfect, you are to go as a native emissary from one of the eastern emirs. Arabian sentries are always lax, and if you can evade them you have a fine chance of obtaining valuable information. Retiring, I quickly dressed in Arab garb. Being well tanned from constant exposure, I needed little disguise. I was unusually careful, however, for the Valiph of Omdurman was an Oxford graduate and had been a friend of my brother. He had visited our country house several times, and I had met him in London, yet' I felt that he would favor me in no way because of former relations, but would prove a very powerful and tenacious foe. My final instructions from the major were: HYou are to go southeast over the desert to Ac-bara. Then double back due west to Omdurman. If you meet Arab scouts, you will give them thc impression of having come a great distance from the east. I-Ie gave me a copy of the Koran, a prayer rug, and the finest camel in the British army. Then he escorted me to the tent door and bade me farewell. Drawing my great riding cloak about me, I turned to Ainsworth and salaanied, Oriental fashion. Then, mounting, I rode away into the gathering dusk. gaug- ing my direction by the stars. I calculated that, with my good camel, morning should find me outside the gates of Ac-bara, approaching it from the east. Upon arrival there I awakened the sleepy, grumbling gate porter and demand- ed entrance to the town. I handed him a few coins, which quickly dispelled any doubts about the respectability of such an early arrival, and passed the gates. Here I found, after diligent search, another porter who for payment agreed to take charge of my beast and find me a place to sleep all day. This he did, and nightfall found me jogging on to my destination. Just as day broke, I was accosted by the first sentinels of Omdurnian who inquired my name and station. I answered, Abbas Krim. emissary of his Excellency Nadj of Amir, mightiest Emir of the East. t'onnnander of the Faithful, and Favored of Allah, may he be praised l I HPage17ll QI afeafa airs Ig, The sentinel advanced and looked at me critically. The richness of my ap- parel and the magnificence of my mount helped to substantiate my claims. He offered to escort me into the city, where I was taken to the tent of Kabir Has- san, one of the major chiefs of the Arab forces. Here, according to Arab cour- tesy, I was asked no questions but was allowed to eat and sleep unmolested. However, as I sleep but lightly, I was able to watch my worthy host slitting my sandals and examining the seams and lining of my cloak, in the vain hope of discovering more about my identity and mission. Late in the afternoon I awoke and feasted with my host, or jailer, and in the evening we joined the camp fire, where my name and rank were made known to each of the chiefs. I was then given a place next to my host, Kabir Hassan, and allowed to listen to the rather heated discussion. A burly Afghan from the Middle East was their head military engineer. He talked a great deal and agreed with no one, but especially disagreed with Aba el Sor, commander of the cavalry. In their argument I learned the very things the English so wished to know. They had little or no artillery. They intended to confine themselves to fiying raids until forced to make a stand, probably at Omdurman. Their strength lay in guerilla warfare, at which they are matchless. At last my host and Aba el Ser inquired my errand. The men about the circle immediately ceased talking. In a loud and sonorous voice, I began, with many pious quotations. I told them that my master, the Emir Nadj, the great, just, merciful, and CAllah be praisedj above all others wise, had heard of the great strength, courage, and immeasurable resources of their Caliph, and had sent me to see if the reports he had heard were true. I had been further instructed that, if the reports were found authentic, he would donate what supplies and men he could muster to help Omdurman, as some day in like circumstances he might need a friend. Now completely trusted, I was taken to see their breastworks which I was told were the product of their military engineer, the Afghan. I was also shown their marvelous cavalry depot, their camels, their armory and the few guns that they had. Over all these I professed great admiration. I told them that His Excellency, my master, knew no such things as these. I had intended to make my escape that night, but as I crept to the door of my tent I saw that my kind host had provided sentinels who were patrolling the space about. I also knew that he had been so kind as to care well for my camel. Seeing that escape was impossible, I sank into restless slumber until the morning light awoke me. I had just breakfasted when my host came with the news that the Caliph had so greatly honored me as to command my presence in his tent. I very much fear that I appreciated the honor but little then, and still less as I stepped over the threshold of his tent, Kabir Hassan on my left and the watchful Aba el Ser on my right. The Caliph at once started to question me. I answered his questions boldly, though fearing that he might have a lurking suspicion as to my identity when he heard my voice, but all went well. His voice was cordial and his questions were courteous. And then came my undoing. There was a basket of fruit near by, and hos- pitality demanded that the Caliph offer it to me. As he passed it, I stretched out my hand to receive it. Too late I saw my mistake. There on my fore- finger was the signet ring of the Vaughns. The Ualiph must often have seen it on the finger of my brother, who gave it to me before he died. ffPage ISI QI ztfaiafasufe Ig, Fortunately my body worked with my mind, and I made one leap as I saw the light of recognition creep into his eyes. So rapid were my movements that my guards were discomfited, since the Caliph had uttered no sound. I burst from the tent, Aba el Ser not far behind mc. I certainly should have met an unfortunate end then had I not, the night before, observed so carefully the intricate windings of the maze of crazy streets. I ran for the camel in- closure, knowing they would track me there, and not a moment too soon gained the door. Seeing it deserted, I Seized a swift-looking animal, threw a bundle of old cloaks on its back, and lashed it toward the east. As it missed the custom- ary restricting rein, With one bound the beast cleared a low gate and made for the open desert. Then, hearing hurried steps, I dived behind a pile of saddles and equipment, and waited. Aba el Ser came dashing in with the guards at his heels. In a moment they espied the empty stall. Noting the fleeing camel, supposedly mounted, heading eastward, they sounded an alarm. In a minute the desert was black with Arabs in pursuit. XVell had I reasoned by not going with the camel, for they were setting off at different angles and would soon surround the animal. As I hid behind the heap, I saw Aba el Sor approach. XVith his back to me, he stood watching the pursuit through field glasses. Creeping from behind, I struck him with the butt end of my revolver. As he crumpled noiselessly to the floor, I drew him behind one of the stalls. I took his cloak, his headdress Cquite unlike my turbanj, and his star of office, and putting them on hastened into the adjoining stable. Standing in the dim light, I asked the boy for my horse. He brought out an immense black stallion and proceeded to saddle it. My hopes were soaring, when in walked the Calipli. Ile ordered his horse sad- dled without noticing me and then walked in my direction. I had my hand on my revolver, when from the minaret sounded the call to prayer. The Caliph, a religious enthusiast, immediately turned and walked out. I seized my horse and made for the opposite entrance. ' Mounting, I 1'ode north, as all scouts had now joined the search to the east. I turned in my saddle to look back. The tent city and the town were gleaming in the bright morning sunlight. The palm trees waved in the faint breeze. How different was Omdurman when I next saw it, red with carnage and black with smoke. That was when the British struck and struck hard. It was then that I met the Caliph again, when he attacked our cavalry with the one inten- tion of meeting me, and exacting revenge. It is not permissible to tell here how he and his gallant cavalry fell-fell gloriously ....

Jos, the all-round man and confidant of the two girls, looked anxiously and said, Shore enough, gals, it ls not been particuler fine weather for your racing at Ghost Flat, but that 's no place fer two young gals when evening 's nigh. U g 'fOh, boshl Senor Jos, you are foolish, responded Dolores, while her dark Spanish eyes flashed. Her father was a descendant of one of the few families that had been able to hold their land during the American occupation of Cali- fornia. Though their possessions were but a quarter of the original grant, they still owned about thirteen hundred acres of cattle land. Dolores con- sidered herself American, but she had all the traits of her race. She was tall and dark, and looked a very interesting figure in her Uchapsw, 'flannel shirt, and large Stetson hat. IIer friend, Helena, was an orphan who had been reared by Dolores' father. The two girls had grown up together like sisters. I-Ielena, being a daughter of the North, lacked the fire and romance of her darker friend, but the two girls balanced each other remarkably well, and the former in a cowboy outlit looked just as rough as her Latin friend. The two girls swung, vaquero fashion, into their elaborate Mexican saddles, and after hurdling the small ditch by the corral they started at a jog-trot over the well-worn path through the forest. In about a half hour they reached a large meadow in the center of which were the ruins of a forty-niner's cabin. This plot was called Ghost Flat and was the customary racing ground of thc girls. Dolores' swift pinto had always been the victor of the contests, and this time was no exception. In the midst of the second round, however, he stepped into an unseen squirrel-hole and fell, throwing her. Her right arm was broken and she was stunned for a moment. The pinto's leg was badly strain- ed, and he could not get up. t'Oh! Helena! what shall we do? Poor Pintie-is he badly hurt? I don't know,'l replied her friend. 4'But I do know that you are, and you're in no condition to ride back. I'll have to go back alone for help. .Pin- tie will be all right. Don't worry, for Illl be back as fast as I can. Helena mia, it 's getting dark. Please don't leave me alone in this place. Bosh! as you always say to Jos. Recall your proud Spanish blood and let it do you some good for once, Helena responded laughingly. 'tYou are right, Helena. I am a Carillo, and they never fear. Adiosf' With 'fAdios, Dolores, Helena sprang into her saddle and was gone. HI'oor Pintie. I wonder if they will have to shoot him? I won't let them ! thought Dolores. Ghost Flat is a queer and weird place by night. I do not like it. I wish that Jos had never told me that story about it, though it amused me at the time. I don't want to think of it, but I can't help it. This is the story of Ghost Flat: In the year 1850, Dutch Flat was a busy mining town. It wa.s like all the other mining settlements of the time, except, perhaps, that its liquor was llPage 2-Hi QI zrfaiafar sure IQ, better and its dancing girls prettier. As the mines were very rich, the pros- perous miners were drawn here from everywhere. Along with the herd came Silence llamlin, a man with a mysterious past, Godfrey, the dandy gambler of high luck and low reputation, and Rosita, the queen of the saloons. Rosita was the most beautiful and most dangerous dancing girl of the period. Her past was in darkness, but her present was known only too well to the men whose fortunes she had taken. Godfrey was known as 'fthe Gentleniann or the Dandy Gambler because of his habit of wearing a high silk hat and Hne clothes. No one knew anything about f'Silencel' Hamlin, they did not even know if that were his real name. It caused quite a bit of comment, however, when he left Dutch Flat for Luck- less Flat, several miles away. A few miners had prospected there, but none had found gold. One of the hangers-on of the saloon followed HSilence. He returned with a story of gold in greater quantity than was being taken from any known mine. Vllithin three weeks, the population of Luckless Flat was more than Eve hun- dred. A saloon was built. Godfrey and Rosita appeared, too, but no one at- tached their advent to anything except the sanie cause that was bringing other gamblers and dancing girls in numbers. Joy reigned in cainp for several weeks. One night a weird cry floated down to the town from t'Silence's cabin. The 'tDandy Gambler and the Queen of the Saloons exchanged frightened glances and, unnoticed, went outside for consultation. NVe,re foolish to pay that man money any longer. IIe has held sway long enough. No one knows where we came from or who we are. Iietls leave this place. Perhaps we can shake him off our track. I'm sick of having my life spoiled by that man, he said in a nervous way. 'tYou're right, John, but somehow I'm afraid of Tim. I feel as if I owe him something, but I do hate him so, she returned. 'tGo back in, Hettie, I'll go up to his cabin and give him the money we have, and tell him we are through with him for good. 'fDon't go, John. IIe'll kill you. HI can handle a gun, too. Go back in. I'll be all right. Goodbye, Hettie. See you later. t'The Dandy Gambler did not return that night, so the next day Rosita went in search of him. She found two bodies on the floor of Hamlin 's cabin. They had killed each other. She, too, failed to return, and later the miners found her with her arms around Godfrey and her own knife in her breast. The diseoverers did not understand what had brought these three together in death, and without trying to solve the mystery, they buried them. One day Pete, a negro errand boy, happened to pass the cabin, and was found the next morning unconscious in the bushes near by. Ile told a strange story. He had noticed a strange bluish-white light shining from the shack through the dusk. Ile carefully crept closer, but before he could get near enough to see inside the cabin, he was struck into unconsciousness by an un- known hand. The miners all laughed, but when the strange cry that they had heard for- merly repeated itself a few nights later, many of them left. After a few weeks the ghostly manifestations became so terrifying to the inhabitants that even the rough miners left and the camp was deserted. Time destroyed all the Illjage 2531 QI stfwfarstife IQ, miners' huts, and even the saloon fell to dust, but Silenee!' Ilamlin's cabin remained in almost perfect preservation. VVhen the settlers again returned. after a. few years, they called the place t'Ghost Flat and left it strictly alone. A bluish-white light streamed through the bushes. Dolores screamed and fainted. A few minutes later she regained consciousness and found Helena and Jos bending over her. t'Dolores, dear, what is the matter? What frightened you so? Helena asked. Madre de Dios! Helena! she exclaimed hysteric-ally. The bluish-white light-I saw it! Take me away quickly. Well, Dolores, I never did think our lantern would scare you that way. Shore that lantern 's got a funny light, but I never expected it to frighten the proud Spaniard! 4'Jos! The lantern? Why, sure enough, it has a bluish light. Oh !-but ltintie, Jos. Will you have to shoot him? IVell, I reekon not, and if I 1-alkerlate rightly l1e'll be well afore you, the way you look now. On the way home, Dolores asked, Jos, was the mystery of the ghosts ever solved? What really frightened l'ete?'l 'WVall, you know niggers. Probably that light was nowhere near the eabin, but Was one of them thin mountain fogs, huggin' the hollow. But something struck him. That's true, but they found out later that the drunk who had first followed 'Sileneel had gone after 'Silenee's' gold. Pete eame along. He finds it dan- gerous to have people near, so he hits Pete and then plays ghost, 'tWhy of course! exclaimed llelena. 'tNothing eould be more logical. Jos, why didn 't you explain it to us before? Why did you frighten us so? XVall, I kind o' enjoyed searin' you gals, said Jos apologetieally. We understand your little joke! I guess that after all Ghost Flat is more full of tradition than of ghosts, responded Dolores thoughtfully. K4 GXDQEQLZD Q ihirate ieulh BIELVIN BLUM, 31J Oh!

IlPage 2611 QI aftafataffz Ie Beauty babes RUTH CUMMINGS, 29J FITFUL downpour of drizzling rain silenced the hot winds and cooled the scorching pavements. The gaudy bazaars lining the cobblestoned streets brazenly flaunted their colors to catch the eye of the unwary tourist. The proprietors leered welcomingly from the low doorways and awaited the coming of the tourists who had just entered on one of the large steamers and were, even now, starting on a fascinating tour of inspection. One shop seemed to be drawing a particularly large crowd. Inside several swarthy individuals were waiting on a bevy of giggling young girls. In one corner of the shop sat a sloppy creature of rather large dimensions, whose beet red face was wrapped in a voluminous shawl of the same shade. The compla- cent air with which she surveyed the customers as they entered was the only clew to her identity as proprietress. She did not stir from her seat. The eyes had been so dazzled by this animated red bundle that it was difficult to see the figure beside her, but, with a second look, a shrunken old man was seen lolling in the shadow cast by his wife's great bulk. This was Eduardo, the humble hus- band of the proprietress. Madama Eduardo was enviously watching a young girl who had just entered. She would attract attention anywhere, especially among a people where fair skin was seldom seen. Her hair was so light as to seem almost white g her skin was pale with a lovely glow and her fairness was set off by a bright red hat with a tiny parrot perched on its side. She was slim, and her tan suit became her well. She spent lavishly and left the shop laden with bundles. Meanwhile, the proprietress had held a whispered conversation with her hus- band and had sent him into the rear of the shop. Wlhen the girl left, Eduardo was sitting upon the steps and, as she turned the corner, he lazily rose and strolled down the street after her. Not having far to go, it was not long before she arrived at one of the larger hotels with Eduardo following. The husband of the proprietress watched her enter and, after observing the surroundings, lounged lazily off in the direction of the shop. PX: Pl? 25? ' The cool night breeze rustled through the curtains. The moon peeped shyly in, leaving a golden path upon the rug. Suddenly the path of light was broken by a dark form. The breeze sighed among the trees. Far below a giant shadow was east by a waiting figure. Slowly the dark form in the room above crossed the path of light and disappeared into the darkness, but the moon grew more bold and the golden stream broadened. Ah! the moon had come upon a pearl, for at the end of the glowing stream was the face of the young girl who had attracted the attention of Eduardo and his wife that very afternoon. The breeze that rustled the curtains ceased and only the even breathing of the sleeping girl broke the silence. Eduardo swiftly searched the darkness and again, perehing catlike on the sill, disappeared into the night. The breeze rustled through the curtains and the moon retreated. llPage 2711 .91 3LfQ1Zlif3L3Life F -N Q The sun rose early that morning and, from each street and byway, came women with baskets on their arms. The market place was gay with laughter and gossip when, suddenly, Madaina Eduardo joined them, and their prattling tongues were silenced from sheer envy, for the proprietress' fat fave was trained by a gorgeous red hat with a tiny parrot perched on its side.

The case of Beaunioiit versus the law was taken up in early June, but the former, realizing the futility of battling such complete evidence, pleaded guilty and left his fate to the celestial deities. Came the day of judgment. To the public eye, the fate of Beaumont was already sealed with the bloody stock of t'La Guillotinen, and it had begun to look elsewhere for occurrences of interestg but here the culprit met with an 1111- predicted enemy, namely, that partners i11 vice will stand together. De Arnot had lJCCll a well Hl'lllOl'0d enemy to the court officials, and because of his unkind habit of baring their slightest corruption, they could scarcely show grief at l1is removal. So it came about that Beaumont received for his sins not the dark shadow of a prcinaturc death, but the far worse fate of prolonged life 011 that dcbased home of evil-lJcvil's lSl2lllfl:x:. ttA1 r11o1c's NCJ'l'lfIZ Devil's Island or Isles du Salut, the oflicial name, is a group of three French penal islandsYRoyal, Saint Joseph's, and Devi1's-situated thirty miles from the coast city Cayenne, capital of the South American French Guiana. HPage 2911 QI irfwfaaife Ig, For eleven days, the prisoner ship Loire had been gliding through the eahn waters of the Atlantic, and with the dawning of the twelfth, the broad sweep of the islands came into view. NVithin two hours the boat had docked in the harbor of Ile Royal, and the prisoners were led upon the shore. Then followed instruction to the effect that they might wander over the entire island, while food and bedding would be given them at the guard house in the center of the reserve. The fact that the surrounding waters abounded with sharks proved sufficient to quell the curiositics of those who wondered as to thc intensity of watch kept. To Beaumont, the trip had been saddening because he would see his beloved Paris no more, and was made still worse by an encounter with the ship 's cap- tain, Relic Le Blanc. lVhile waiting to be transported ashore, the heat had proved too great for him, and he fell in a faint against the captain, who was at that moment inspecting the rows of prisoners. The portly official, taking the action as an offense, kicked the unfortunate one into consciousness. Beaumont, devoid of fear, rose to his feet making insinuations as to thc quality of Le Blanc and his ancestors, but received for his efforts a staggering blow on the head and portage to the shore in an unknowing condition. Upon regaining his senses and finding the shackles of confinement cast from him, he set out for the north end of the island, encountering other captives of varied lengths of imprisonment. Filled with loathing and disgust for these despicable wretches, he fled from one scene to another, but wherever he went and whatever he saw, there stood before him the three-sickness, contamination, and death. After wandering about for two days, during which he slept little and ate not at all, he finally realized, after a hundred indescribable agonies, the futility of existing under such conditions so he resolved to vo to the sea and seek deliverance. PJ 7 93 As he neared the booming surf, the spluttering throb of a gasoline launch reached his earsg and when the boat came into view, he saw that it was headed away from the islands and towards the mainland. Suddenly he was rejuvenatcd with new hope, for on the side of the craft hung a rope-he would reach that rope! For one employed in his former vocation, instant action is a main fact org and so it was that within a few minutes after seeing it, he had plunged under the water, swum to the side of the slowly moving boat, and emerged to grasp the cord. Duc to the unhandy position and risk of detection, the time was scarcely passed pleasantly, but as necessity urged and the reward was great, he accomplished the task. , Three hours later the boat docked at Cayenne, where he slipped away from the side and swam, unseen, beneath the wharf until he came to a break in the boards above. lt took little effort to clamber from the damp recess to the de- serted pier, and as dilapidated wretehes were common, he attracted little at- tention as he walked down the waterfront street in search of lodging. The next three days were relatively uneventful. He obtained, with promise of future payment, a garret room, and a small amount of money from the kindly lllgagc 3Oll QI zzfwfzt stirs It owner of Sailor's Restn, a seamen 's boarding house. Here he awaited, with joyful anticipation, the arrival of a Paris-to-South America liner. At length his confinement grew unbearably tiresome, so with that love of wines that is innate in all Frenchmen, he resolved, despite the risk, to visit a nearby wine shop and imbibe of his favorites. NVhen he neared the place-- an inviting one, for over the entrance hung the sign French Spokenw-he observed several men lolling about the shady veranda, and taking heart at the pleasing scene, he stepped up and seated himself at one of the tables. Imagine his surprise and chagrin when, upon turning to give his order to the keeper, he observed the hated face of Captain Le Blanc staring at him in drunken amazement from the table opposite! The trip from Havre to Devills Island had been an exceptionally fine one, and as the Loire docked at Ile Royal, the spirits of Rene Le Blanc rose to lofty heights-he was already four days ahead of his allotted time, and if his Hcargol' were quickly disposed of, he might spend a wonderful week with the wine, gov- ernor, and officials at Cayenne. XVithin two days, the details of business were transacted and he departed for the mainland in the government launch. Little did he think, as he swept by the island and i11to the open sea, that he was giving Beaumont the key to liberty and life, but in some indefinable way, his thoughts throughout the trip reverted to the unpleasant incident aboard the prisoner ship. From the mainland Wharf, he set out for the official seat, and there joined his cronies, men of the same temperament, all of whom had obtained their nearly laborless positions by means of that mighty political instrument-influence. After three days of lavish entertaining, the governor noticed to his dismay that all the liquors were consumed, and as friendships such as theirs waned to boredom without alcoholic stimulant, they departed to a popular NVIIIB shop. While they sat about the shady porch, wines flowed freely, and soon Le Blanc was wafted into the sweet languor of intoxication. XVith this occurrence, came many short snatches of dreamy slumber, one of which was interrupted by a new comer to the veranda, and when the captain looked up to investigate the dis- turbing element, he found himself confronting Henri Beaumont. In the drunken mind of Le Blanc, only one thought predominated-he had harmed this murderer, the murderer would track him and take vengeance, therefore, for his own sake as Well as that of the eonnnunity, must this man be retaken. So with the cry, An escaped convictll' he rallied the armed men of the law, and with their aid dashed down the street in pursuit of the now fleeing refugee. The thought of capture lent wings of speed to Beaumont as he charged down the street to the boarding house, where he ran up the stairs and into the garret room. After locking the door, he ransacked the bedding for an automatic pistol that he had found there during his confinement, and finding it, seated himself on the edge of the bed and waited. A few seconds later, a loud clatter on the stair and the command, Openf', convinced him that his refuge had been found. This brought action to his fear- numbed body and he sprang to the window in search of an avenue of escape, but in vain-three stories is too high to leap with safety. IlPage 31 ll -Q1 M 'afwfaaife IQ, Even now the door was beginning to splinter-there was no time to lose! His clenched hand felt the weapon, but again with disappointment, for its cham- ber contained only one bullet-not enough for defense. Once more was he cor- nered 5 once more did the hand of the law stand over him and the devilish penal islands-mediums of Satan and evil-loom before him. XVith the latter thought, a wave of loathing toward all mankind swept over him, but when it had passed, a new, a defeated, but more soulful man remained. And as the door crashed down, Henri Beaumont, with his figure held proudly erect and a self-mocking smile upon his face, pressed the muzzle of his Weapon to his head and fired.

This is especially true in a school of the character and size of ours, where the student body is one big family. During the last six months of school, the student body has certainly supported all our social events and athletic contests in true Tiger Spirit. All the rallies have had one hundred percent attendance and the support at the Mardi Gras and the skating party made these two social events more than ever outstanding. Our little student body has often 'tshown up schools of more than twice our size in respect to attendance at the games. Faced with a deficit in the budget at the outset of the term, the fellows and girls have responded wonderfully in cutting this down to a minimum. Per- sonally, I wish to thank the student body for the backing they have given me at all times, and Mr. Merrill, Mr. Heymann and Mrs. Patterson for their help and suggestions in carrying out the school program. l feel l have gained an in- valuable experience from the student body work this last term.

The matter of the balancing of the budget occupied a number of meetings, but after it was completed the board had an easy way ahead. R. Hundly was elected assistant custodian. Brizzolara, Gilmore, and Brady were appointed as Senior Honor Medal Committee to select a member of the senior class worthy of the award. llPage 3611 -QI lfwfar arise Ie lux Baath uf Qliuntrul HE purpose of the Board of Control is to regulate and control student body affairs. It meets Whenever questions eoneerning the whole student body are brought up, and it has many powers. At the first meeting of this term, call- ed to order by President Frances Farrell, Audrey Cunningham was elected to act as student body secretary for the term. At the same meeting it was decided that the student body and the faculty should divide the cost of the rug which was given to Miss Fassett, who has been in the East this spring.

IlPage 3712 QI arfwfzzzzife Ie Ctfhiturial E have tried to combine in this issue of the LIFE two ideas that at first glance seem diametrically opposed-those of Chivalry and Pioneering. VVc have done this deliberately. In general, Chivalry is a backward-looking principle, while Pioneering is a forward-looking one. But while we who are now going forward into the world should look ahead of us with utmost keenness, wc shall do well to look backward also and see what our predecessors have done, so that we may follow their best examples. A wider vision makes a wider wisdom. Nor, after all, is Chivalry a thing of the past alone. NVe see examples of it every day. The Boy Scout, doing his good turn daily, is one of the finest of our modern knights. In a larger field, the doctors and scientists who labor many years to conquer cancer or yellow fever are engaged in a fight as chival- rous as any against a tire-breathing dragon. Our scientists are also our greatest pioneers. It does not take a covered wagon to make a pioneer. The earliest meaning of the word was one who dug in the ground or excavated, in search for something. An insatiable and un- selfish curiosity, felt by men of all kinds in all ages, has actuated such searching in all lines. lt is to those pioneers who had no covered Wagons that this book has been dedicated. It is they that we are setting as an ideal for ourselves as we graduate. IfPage 38lI Z QI YL fwfl life LITERARY Ruth Cummings F. Seitz ATHLETICS Frances Canfield R. Black J.

Their enthusiasm was nowhere better shown than at the skating party held in March, for a gay crowd fairly filled the rink and space was at a premium. llhere was also an excellent turnout at the Mardi Gras Dance, a condition which sorely taxed our modest auditorium for room. The Forum Clubs of the two schools have contributed their share of entertainment by the presentation of two plays, 'fThe Diabolieal Circle and HSwimmin' Poolsll, the former given by the girls and the latter by the boys. The 28X class has acted its part as Low Seniors very successfully. One of the high lights of the termls work was the play f'So's Your Aunt Annan, given by the girls. The class was particularly fortunate in being entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Merrill at a lawn party at their home in Redwood City. Bigger and better High Seniors! The 29J class held its luncheon on February 29th, which, it may be remem- bered, is the day that makes leap year. The boys, however, were just as chiv- alrous as ever, and despite the old leap year tradition didn 't have to be asked, but jumped right in and danced. The girls showed their ingenuity by putting over a clever book-mark sale. The boys were quite successful in athletics, taking the interelass baseball championship. The debating team lost to 28 but made a good showing for all that. More power to you as Low Seniors, 29J! 29X reverted to a hike and picnic for the Freshman reception this year. This is the first time since the 28J-30J Picnic at Mighall Manor in the fall of 1926 that the Freshman have been given a picnic. It was one of the most en- joyable social events of the term and, judging from its success, it looks as if the Freshmen of future years will have a picnic likewise. A cake sale was carried on as a means of raising funds for this outdoor luncheon and it served its purpose well. The class has backed up the school teams in fine fashion, boasting of members on every athletic squad. The SOJ class has been quite active this semester. The luncheon held on May Qnd found all the 30J boys and girls there full of pep and good spirits. The sophomores proved good mixers, saving the entertainment committee a lot of work. Both the fellows and girls have distinguished themselves by their great support of all the affairs sponsored by the student body. The SOX class enjoyed a very good term in athletics, winning the interclass track meet at the beginning of the season. The girls also excelled in athletics. Their class luncheon was held on April 18th. After the lunch hour the strains of music charmed the students and brought them down to the third floor to dance. The class debating team lost to the Freshmen but that was no disgrace as they had an excellent, hard-working team. llllage 4lll wi JL zum lIPagc 4211 Q1 afwfzraufe Ig, 31J put over its Valentine luncheon in great style. lt was an outstanding sueeess and needless to everyone enjoyed it to the fullest extent. It seems the boys have done something really remarkable, for at the luncheon, or rather, just before it, they marehed right in, gathered up trays, knives and all other neeessary utensils and calmly eolleeted a suitable luneh. They have already eonquered the inherent fear of Lux invariably found in Freshmen. The girls have already shown enthusiasm for athleties and we expect to see some future stars among them. Both boys and girls show promise of being a history mak- ing class. NVhen the roll call was first read at Lux, only seventeen 31X girls answered. However, it was not long before another was added to their happy family-it was HSweetums the elass mascot. The girls immediately got down to busi- ness and ehose their class colors, rose and silver.

The elass hasn't had a luncheon yet, but whatever fun they're missing by not having one, they 'Ve more than made up during their dancing praetiee in the morning before sehool.

Covering practically every field of interest, they have offered an opportunity of fostering worthwhile hobbies under excellent supervision and instruction. The clubs do another big thing in attracting the interests of the lower classmen and securing their support in student body ac- tivities. Certainly, the clubs have come to be a necessary, instructive and work- ing factor in the school. The roll of officers of the Lick-XVilmerding F0-rum this term consisted of: President, Haynes, secretary, Mollison, and parliamentarian, Carroll. The chief business of the organization has been the promotion of accuracy in parliamentary law, public speaking, and interest in debating. In carrying out the latter, a series of interelass debates was held. The Forum has adopted a new consti- tution ehanging the requirements for membership, which it is hoped will in- crease interest in its activities. NYhile the usual demonstrations have been given by several of the older mem- bers of the Ca-mera Club for the benefit of the beginners, interest among the upperelass members has centered on the making of bromoils. Mr. Blumann, editor of Camera Craft, and Mr. Boda, of the California Camera Club, each spent several hours demonstrating that medium. Officers for the term were: President, Bray, vice-president, Radius, secretary, Meisel, treasurer, Mollison, sergeant-at-arms, Berman, sponsor, Miss Boulware. A number of new recruits decided to join the Radio Club after looking over the club rooms and apparatus at the beginning of the semester. A new note was introduced into the meetings when President Matjasich appointed commit- tees to find interesting articles about radio and read them to the members at each meeting. The officers elected are: Matjasich, president, Houson, vice- president, Bollenbach, secretary, Stoddard, treasurer, Ponig, sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Booker, sponsor. President Nichols' appeal for new members of the Glec Club at the Opening Rally resulted in numerous try-outs and the selection of enough new members to fill the vacancies. The big event on the club 's calenda.r was the joint luncheon held at Lux, Aprilf 11. As the girls far outnumbered the boys at this affair, the members of the basketball team were invited to balance up. Presiding over the destinics of the Glee Club are Nichols, as president, and Mr. Britton as sponsor. 7 Under the sponsorship of Mr. French and the able guidance of President Klopstock, the Archery Club has added another half year to its short life. This being the elub's second semester only as a recognized school organization, it con- siders itself lucky in having a membership of fifteen. During the term, Mr. French accompanied the boys on a hike to Laurel Dell. The club has been active chiefly in making a target and a demonstration board showing the steps in making an arrow. The club also bought a target to use in the several tourna- ments whieh were held. The officers for the term were: President, Klopstock, vice-president, Eichorn, secretary, Keldsen, treasurer, Varnhagen, sergeant-at- arms, Gillies, sponsor, Mr. French. 4 ffPagc 45B Glflklfll li HPagc 46B QI li ' 35 Eijfk T. ali? lux Qiluhs LI'B life is a very important factor at Lux. It not only brings the girls together into a closer relationship, but it affords a means of bringing out the individual talent of many girls. This term has been an unusually good one for all the clubs, and several new talents have been discovered among our students. The Forum Club has just completed one of its most successful terms under the guidance of President Doris Priddle, Vice-President Gertrude Horgan, and Secretary Cecile Fremier. They have presented two plays before the student body, the first being t'Not Quite Such a Goose. The second play, 'tThe Dia- bolical Circlew, was given before the two student bodies. Besides the cus- tomary practice of parliamentary law, the Forum practiced debating this term, and the students turned out in large numbers. The Pen and Ink Club, which is open to both boys and girls, has had, through the work of Miss Meng, a very interesting semester. The club devotes its full time to the study of journalism, and the members have shown great interest in the course. The Lux representation has far outgrown the Lick representation of late. The club now meets in the library at the Ginn House. It is hoped that this change will help overcome the boys' shyness. The 0'7'Ch'6.Sl7'lI, under the direction of Cecile Fremier, came into the forc- ground when it furnished one of the chief sources of entertainment at the Mardi Gras Ball. The stunt given, entitled A Night in Spain , featured Spanish selections from the orchestra and the Lux Trio. The Glee Club, with Eunice Gastaldi as president and Alice Luthi as secre- tary, has been doing excellent work. The club meets every Tuesday and Thurs- day to practice songs. The Snappy Serenadcrsw and the Lux Trio have of- fered much entertainment at rallies and the Mardi Gras. The first joint Glee Club luncheon was held this term. The club thanks Miss Sinclair for her direction. i The Hi-ca-bo Club, on St. Patrick 's Day, held its semi-annual luncheon. The club also took a hike to Alpine Dam, where the members had a chance to pick wild flowers, take pictures, and hike. Both functions were highly successful, owing to the efforts of the officers, President Sybil Riddell, Vice-President Florence Phillips, and Secretary Pearl Low, and those of Miss Tangney and Miss Carroll, the club 's sponsors. The Stantp Club is making very rapid progress under the guidance of Presi- dent Eva Noel and Vice-President Rose O'Donnell. The membership is grow- ing as well as the collections. A visit to a stamp factory has been planned. The activities of the Tennis Club CFrances Canfield, president, Gertrude Horgan, vice-president, Celeste Lcgnitto, seeretaryj and the Stvlmnilng Club CMary Anthony, president, Miss Carroll, sponsorl are discussed in this issue in the section devoted to Sports. llPagc 473 Q1 zzfwfusufe lfPage 4811 Qlililfl li lIPagc 4911 QI arfwfarzufe IQ, banter Suhients ADVANCED ENGLISH Famous last words of a senior, VVhat is an English A?

Just the same, Mr. Tibbctts predicts that one of the fellows will discover a ray that can penetrate a student is head-when they start making radio church collections. . PHYSICS IV The reason the Physics IV students are so brilliant NZD is explained by the fact that there are only seven fellows in the class. Mr. Britton's patience will be appreciated by those realizing he is trying to prove that there are other things besides low seniors capable of producing sound. AMERICAN HISTORY lfnder a new plan of instruction, devised by Miss Durbrow, the class devotes o11e day a week to a11y discussion that may have arisen in the week. In this way, the class keeps abreast of current as well as historical events. This plan proves instructive as well, for students apply their knowledge of parliamentary law i11 these discussions. I ADVANCED ALGEBRA NVeird figures trying to assume the shape of hyperbolas, parabolas, ellipses and other forms of futuristic art are being made by the advanced algebra class. The seniors find consolation in the fact that graphs fgraftsj have been sources of worry to other people than themselves. In due seriousness, though, the class appreciates the privilege Miss Mueller is extending to them in suspending her Lux duties for a period of strife. MECHANICAL DRAXVING Machine and architectural drawings are being made in Mr. Heymann's class. Machinery has by no means reached a stage of perfection. Fully aware of this, the apprentices are working hard to set out and make a name for themselves. Qln what line we don't knowj. FREEHAND DRANVING The apprentices in the freehand department have been doing the Old English lettering for this Journal, besides competing for the cuts and keeping up with the regular work.

Even with all this, radio cabinets, cedar chests, and exercises are being made. The grandfatheris clock in the Forum play was a shining example of woodshop 's products. ELECTRIC SIIOP A solution has at last been found for the deficient bell-ringing during a few days. The coming P. G. 8: E. presidents have been rewiring the building, and how! OVe donit knowj. Seriously, however, the boys have been making re- markable progrcss in their wiring around the school. Mr. Stevens has a real, up-to-date shop now, a whole new control board has been installed. Two and three phase generators and other electric apparatus are being made to run the apprentices' trains, we presume. SHEET METAL AND PLUMBING The Low Sophs, having finished their required work, have been climbing around the supposed framework of a house, built by the fellows from woodshop, applying their knowledge of electric wiring, they have met with no casualties- yet. They're also making themselves useful by aiding in the construction of their new recitation room in the old auto shop. The future athletes will not be blamed for their skepticism about taking a shower in the new locker room under construction, for they will certainly be Hall wet, due to the plumbing system being installed there by the fellows. MACHINE SHOP Machine shop students are making themselves useful in more ways than one. They are equipping their own shop, while at the same time they are making tools for the market, thus enriching the coffers of our Alma Mater. Drill press vices are the source of this wealth. It looks as if before long the school will be on a paying basis! Accuracy and efficiency are the goals Mr. Chenoweth sets for his men and the goalposts are always in danger. Machine shop is probably the best equipped shop in the school-one we all should be proud to have in our course of study. . STONE WORK Mr. Mighall a11d his Freshman stalwarts are making fast progress in moving from the old shop to their new place of business, the old forge shop. The new shop will have tile floors-hollow tiles, and re-enforced concrete. The finished result will undoubtedly be an improvement. Coming athletes will have the scrubs to thank for the showers to be installed in the old shop. liPage SIE -QI ilfwfaisufe I The mirror uf lux ROM afar in the forest primeval Castle turrets did appear, XVhcre thcrc lived a princess beautiful Vtleaving a Web spun of dreams.

Alumni, June, 1927AApril, 1923 Qlumni utes ANY students of Lick, XVilmerding and Lux have received their start in the world through the efforts of one of the earlier graduates and there- fore a strong bond exists among all graduates. To meet a man many miles from home and to find he is a graduate of Lick or XVilmerding gives a person a feeling that is hard to describe. Many graduates return to visit the scenes of their high school days and always receive a warm welcome from Mr. Merrill who has a remarkable memory for faces and names. The members who form the board of directors have a wonderful opportunity of becoming acquainted, the directors are representatives of many classes. There are two from the Christmas and June classes appointed by the faculty to represent the latest graduates. A number of very enjoyable social affairs have been carried through this year. Among them were a theatre party at The President on August 30, 1927, an auto ride at Kendall Dell on October 2, 1927, the big dance at the Elks Club on Saturday, December 3, 1927, with the graduates of 1927 as our guests. The Alumni cup and saucer, painted and donated each year by Louis R. Samish, 233 Post street, was raiiied and the Loan Fund was enriched by 51616.00 This Loan is for any student who needs assistance While attending school. The annual meeting is being planned for May 24, 1923, at the California Club when the business meeting will be followed by a reception of the 1923J class into the association. XVe hope to see everyone of that class present. lt will be the 25th anniversary of the graduation of the 1903 class and we hope to have many of the old Ugradsl' present. At this meeting the announcement will be made of the student to receive the scholarship award given each year to the student having the highest scholarship record. The first award was made in May, 1927, to Miss Juanita Bollenbach and Albert Borgwardt, who had the same number of credits, so each received a ring bearing the Alumni emblem. The seminar talks by graduates to the seniors have been far reaching in their efforts. The following talks have been given: Jan. 31 Oil Circuit Breakers--Roy Anderson, 118.

HOWLAND, Sccretargf. llPage S41 4 Na-'H QI itfwfaarife IQ Basketball HE first basketball practice of the year brought a great turnout of fellows and provided Coach Stacey with some good material with which to shape another championship aggregation. Captain Ben Gilmore and Eddie Garavatti, two mainstays of the championship 145 lb. team of last year, re- turned to form a nucleus for the team. Besides, Haynes and Mac Gilmore were available from last year's squad. After several weeks of intensive practice, the Lick 45's played their first practice game, with the Fremont unlimited quintet. Facing one of the big- gest and strongest East Bay aggregations, the Tigers were humbled by an 18-10 score. Lick wa.s in reality a 145 lb. team and the extra weight proved too big a disadvantage. Besides, Coach Stacey had not sufficient time to fill the positions left vacant through the graduation of Cope, Lambert, Sehefiin and others. The loss of the game simply made the fellows realize that they had a job before them if they were to retain their championship. For a second time, Lick traveled from home-this time to Vallejo where the 45's won a close, hard-fought game by a score of 18-17. The team func- tioned beautifully and probably, at this time, could have beaten any high .school 145 lb. quintet in the bay region. The team that faced Vallejo included Ben and Mac Gilmore, Garavatti, Haynes, Christensen and lrvine. The Tigers kept right on with their winning streak, started at Vallejo, and toppled the Mission unlimiteds, Burlingame, Lowell and San Rafael, all in succession. By the opening of the A, A, Af' season, Coach Stacey had definitely decided to enter Lick in the 145 lb. division and everything looked set for another cup. However, Sacred Heart, Poly and Lowell had all developed powerful teams, and the race looked to be a close, hard-fought struggle for supremacy. Our first league game was with Commerce and we won easily by 29-9. The team took the lead at the start and was never headed. Things looked pretty good for our next game against Sacred Heart, favorites to cop . However, there's many a 'Islip twixt the cup and the lip , for should it be, Htwixt the eye and the basketi'?D and Lick dropped their first A. A, A. game to Sacred Heart on February 13th Ceertainly unluckyb by the tight count of 22-21. The Sacred Heart team, which eventually won the 145 lb. title, took the lead at the outset and held a six point advantage at half time. During this first half the Sacred Heart defense had proved well nigh impregnable. However, the old Tiger fight brought the score to even terms by the fourth quarter and then the game swayed in the balance while Sacred Heart held grimly to their one point lead. Just as the gun ended the game, Captain Ben Gilmore took a long shot from center that hit the hoop and just rolled off. It has often been stated that if that shot had gone in, Lick would have been undefeated this season. But the loss of such a game seemed to crack the team. All the players played bangup ball against Sacred Heart, but probably the most outstanding was Garavatti who, by his .showing in this game alone, won a place on the 145 lb. A. A. A. All Star team. Our next game, on February 16th with Galileo, pro- vided a resting place between Sacred Heart and Poly. The second team played a good portion of the game which we won by a 27-17 score. llPage S511 QI lfwflzuff IfPagc,561I QI itfwfztztife IQ, The 45's next faced l'oly on February Hth and were humbled, after a great battle, by a 29-23 count. Both teams were very evenly matched and neither could gain much of a lead till. the last five minutes when Poly spurted from the short end of the score to gain a 6-point lead which she managed to hold, despite all Lick efforts to score, till the gun. If the game had been five min- utes shorter Lick would have won, but so it goes in athletics. Our fifth A. A. A. game was with Mission and we were victorious by a 25-15 score. Coach Stacey again gave his reserves a workout and they looked good, leading at half time. Lick played high class ball against the Padres. On March Sth, Lick again lost one of her tough games, bowing to St. Igna- tius by a 20-18 score. Lady Luck had not .seemed to have favored Lick in a long time and we lost two of our most important games by one and two point margins. Our last league game of the year was against our arch rivals, Lowell, and we were forced again to taste defeat by a 20-8 count. During the first half the game was very even, but coming back in the second half, the Lick forwards seemed to lose their eyes and Lowell, seeing victory in their grasp, played over their heads to upset the dope bucket and win the game. To an outsider, a team that won only three out of seven games on its sched- ule would not make much of an impression. However, it is noticed that Lick lost by one point here, two points there, and a sensational finish in some other instances. Invariably the breaks of the game decide these advantages, and because the Lick 45's did not get the breaks in major games. they Hnished far down the list rather than at their former position at Hthe head of the parade . Members of the team include Captain Ben Gilmore, all-star forward, Gara- vatti, all-.star guard, Mac Gilmore, center, Van Irvine, forward, Haynes, guard, Grace, guard, Christensen, forward, Grillo, forward, Sullivan, forward, Ku- bicek, guard, Brizzolara, guard and Smith, guard. IfPage 5711 .gl azfwfststfff Ig, 1365 ITH a team composed of Grille and Crabb at forward, Black at center, and Grace and McCormick at guard, the 130ls looked mighty good in their practice games. Especially was this so in their showing against Vallejo and the Mission 145's, playing a fine brand of basketball. each time. Though they lost to Vallejo by a 21-19 score, they won an easy victory over the Mission team. Grillo and Grace had been doing such exceptional work tGrillo scoring 16 points against Vallejob that Coach Stacey thought they might furnish just that added strength to the 1457s that would insure their chance of copping . Consequently he transferred these two players to the '45 squad, leaving the 130's hopelessly weak. NVith their two mainstays gone and lacking reserve material the '30's entered the A. A. A. greatly handicapped but full of deter- mination. The old saying that half the battle is in the tight the team shows proved very true in the '307s first A. A. A. game against the highly touted Commerce quintet. Taking the lead at the start, the Tigers held the advantage throughout three quarters of the game, only to lose out in a heartbreaking fourth quarter by a score of 21-15. After this unfortunate start, the team could not seem to function properly and met with little success in the remainder of their A. A. A. campaign. Captain Crabb ta fine forward and good all-round playerj, Rell, McCormick, Gunetti, and Black composed the first team, while Patterson, Peters, Queirolo and Kelly saw action in most of the games. The team certainly deserves a World of credit for trying their best, under great disadvantages, to place Lick on the basketball map. llPage 58l QI atfwfaaife Ie This picture shows one of the plays by which Lick Won the,America11 high school football championship just before Rugby was substituted. Chick O'Con- nor, the man with the ball, ran almost the entire length of the field, and the play was repeated on two or three occasions. Notice the calm expression on the face of Snell, the other halfbaek, as compared with the expressions of O'Connor 21.1lLl'Q11blI'lCI'lJZlCk Goleher. O'Connor looked just as calm as Snell looks up to the time the ball was snapped to him. Instead of being separated in their re- spective positions, they stood side by side directly back of the quarterback, their opponents thinking that the ball was to be snapped from quarterback to full- back. 45. Q. Q. The Girls, Athletic Association was under the skilled guidance of Gertrude Horgan as president this term. She was assisted by Mary Anthony, Viee-presi- dent, and Eva Noel, secretary-treasurer. The association raised money for the athletic fund in a very novel Way. The captains of the teams shined the shoes of all the girls, at ten cents a shine. This proved very successful, especially as our bootblacks gave very good service. The G. A. A. also had a large cake sale, the returns from which were turned over to the athletic fund. This covered the expense of the awards made to the athletes. The University of California gave a Field Day for all Girls, Athletic Asso- ciations from San Jose to Sac1'a1nento. The captains and managers of all the teams went and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. On the program there were swimming events, basketball, gymnastics, and dancing. Miss Carroll chaper- oned our girls. Many valuable pointers on the way in which other schools conduct their athletic organizations were secured. Some of these have already been applied with profit to our own G. A. A. IIPage 5911 01011 fl life IfPage 6011 .QI atfeafszzufe Ie 1 Z Baseball y T THE first baseball practice of the term a large number of fellows turned out for the team. There were a few players left from last year's team, but the majority of the positions had to be hlled by new material. After a few weeks of daily practice Coach Mertes selected a tentative team which en- gaged in a practice game with Commerce. Vile lost the game 2-1, but it proved valuable as an aid in sizing up the material. It also gave the players a chance to find themselves in a real game. In the next contest the Tigers matched their strength with Galileo. Here the team showed its true ability and won, 10-7. Captain Sherbakoff performed well at bat, getting three hits and driving in four runs. In order to prove that the Galileo game was no accident, the team trounccd Sacred Heart 8-3. Manuel and Howatt each pitched half of the game and both did well. The Tigers went on a batting rampage during the first three innings and knocked two Sacred Heart pitchers out of the box. The following week the team again met Commerce, and in this game they avenged the defeat suffer- ed inthe beginning of the season. Howatt pitched a shutout game, and Lick won, 6-0. The next game on the practice schedule was with Portola Junior High. Very nearly everyone saw action in this gamelt Howatt again pitched, and though he walked a number of men, his team-mates more than made up for this by their fine fielding. Seeking to disprove the theory that pitchers cannot hit, Howatt banged out a homerun in the fourth inning with no one on base. At this time another game was played with Galileo, resulting in a 1-1 tie. Both IfPage 6111 -:QI ztfwfazufe IQ, teams made their lone run in the second inning. Lick 's single tally came when Benny Gilmore stole home on the catcher's error. The practice season was now over and the A. A. A. season about to begin. The Tigers had made a good showing in their practice games, winning all but two, one of which was a tie. The team did not give the impression of being brilliant, but it played consistently and showed good teamwork. In their first A. A. A. encounter the Tigers played Potter. They found they were up against the toughest team they had yet played, but after a hard battle Lick came through with a 2-1 victory. Howatt was in fine shape for the game, striking out eleven men and allowing only three hits. Sherbakoff, Maffei, Gil- more, Garavatti and McCormack all played good ball in this game. The second A. A. A. battle took place the following NYednesday with St. Ignatius. NVe were badly defeated 9-1. The disaster began in the second inning when the Lions scored five of their nine runs. The Hrst man up in that inning hit a single, and from that time on our fielders were kept busy chasing the ball. Er- rors were frequent and the hitting was poor. It seemed to be an off-day, for none of the fellows played the game they were capable of playing. On the following Saturday the team journeyed across the bay to San Rafael where they were again defeated by a 12-2 score. Everyone still remained in a slump and it seemed that no one could hit anything while San Rafael hit Ho- watt's offerings without difficulty. The next game was with our ancient rivals, Lowell. A joint rally was held to instill enthusiasm into the students. Despite this fact only a few rooters attended the game. The team started out with a, bang, putting men on base in the 'first inning. The punch seemed to be lacking, however, and they got no farther. In the fourth inning Lowell got busy and scored two runs, one of them on an error. She followed up this advantage with two runs in the next inning, and one in the sixth. It looked very much as if we would tie up or win the game in the last part of the sixth inning when Benny Gilmore drove out a triple, scoring two men ahead of him. There were two outs, however, and Gil- more died on third when Riddell fanned. There was no further scoring in the remainder of the game, Lowell winning 5-2. The outcome of the remainder of the A. A. A. games is unknown at this time. The team was composed of the following players: Sherbakoff, captain-second base. Riddell-first base. Maffei-shortstop. Gilmore-third base. Howatt-pitcher. Garavatti-right field. Ciarlo-catcher. Schmid-center field. Manuel-left field. Kubicek, Nichols, Brady, Junker, Crabb, McCormack and Kloehn are the boys who gave the regulars a hard iight for their places. The A. A. A. officials are seriously thinking of discontinuing baseball, due to the lack of attendance at the games. liPage 62lI QI afwfa life '19 lux Baseball HE baseball games have been played in round-robin form, in two divisions, upper class and lower class. 30J won the lower class championship, while the ZSJ-29X team secured thc upper class one. ln the lower class games, 31X first defeated 31J, 14-9. Then 30J beat 3lX, 12-2. 31X turned around and beat 30X through forfeit. Then 30J played 30X and won 10-7. They then conquered 31J by 24-7. Finally 3lJ was defeated 9-6 by 30X, giving the lower class championship for the largest number of games won to 30J. In the upper class, the 28J-29X team was not defeated once. They beat 29J, 8-55 ZSX, 23-5g 28X, 19-6, and 29J, 18-2. Another exciting game was that in which 28X defeated 29J, 9-4. The School Championship game was won by 28J-29X, by the close seorc of 7-6. This last game was especially exciting to the spectators, though all the games were well supported by the student body. The captains of the teams were: E. Corbclla, 3lXg E. Vercellino, 31Jg H.

These aspiring athletes worked hard to get in form, practicing every afternoon on the oval. A number of Sopho- mores and Freshmen turned out at the interelass meet and from all indications it looked as if the school would have a good team. The team's first taste of outside competition came in the dual meet with Mission. NVQ suffered defeat, but this was not discouraging as a number of our best runners were unable to be present. The ones that were there acquitted themselves well, however. McCullough, Zannini, Trowbridge, Hazlevvood, Klopstock, Nichols, Gunetti, Grille, Glastra, and Reilly all scored points in their events. A week later the team met Cogsvvell on the latter's track. Although thc Cogswell team was stronger than that of Mission, the Tigers held them to a closer score than the week previous. Cogswell won the meet on their ability to score as they liked in the 110 and 100 pound classes. XVe outscored them by far in the 120 and 130 divisions. The next meet was held on the 25th of April with the strong Commerce team. Here the Tigers found themselves on the short end of a 68-60 score. Even if the team did lose all of its practice meets, it has shown marked improvement since the beginning of the season and should not go scoreless in the A. A. A. meet to be held May 14th. The members of the team are: McCullough, Dillon, Smith, Hazlewood, Nichols, VVilliams, Klopstoek, Peters, Zueco, Taylor, Grille, Mires, Glastra, Gunetti, Reid, Glyn, Reilly and Queirolo. llPage 64l -31 - afwfztiufe Ie ilntmlass Qliuntests V HE interclass baseball games were played at Southside Playground this term. In an effort to make the contests more even, the Seniors were match- ed with the Juniors and the Sophomores with the Freshmen, Formerly the Seniors played the Freshmen and the Juniors the Sophomores. The Seniors were forced to forfeit the first game, due to the fact that not enough of their players showed up for the game. A close contest ensued when the Sophomores met the Freshmen. The latter team emerged victorious with a 5-4 victory. Matteoli pitched for the Sophomores and held the Freshmen to a tie score until the seventh inning when a costly error by a team-mate allowed what proved to be the winning run cross the plate. The championship game between the Juniors and the Freshmen resolved itself into a complete rout of the latter as they found themselves unable to cope with such experienced players as the Juniors were. The game gave both teams excellent practice, the Juniors be- ing almost constantly at bat while the Freshmen attempted with small success to field their hot grounders and line drives. NVhen the slaughter was over, it was found that the Juniors were on the long end of an 18-0 score, thereby win- ning the championship. The interclass track meet held March 16th was unusually successful. Kezar Sladium was secured for the scene of battle and. due to the supervision of Mr. Tibbetts and Manager Dunstan, the meet was run off with celerity. A large number of aspiring young cinder pounders were present, all determined to beat all established records for seine event. The winners were the Sophomores who gathered in 69 points. The Seniors gave the lower classmcn a battle throughout and finished second with 63 points. The Juniors and Freshmen took third and fourth places respectively, the former scoring 34 points and the latter 9. The Sophomores made a clean sweep of the 100 pound division, tak- ing every point. McCullough, Benson, Turbitt and Ortiz! were the outstanding performers in this class. In the 110 pound weight, Trowbridge scored 15 points, taking first place in the broad jump, the 75 yard dash and 220 yard dash. Hazelwood and Zannini also showed promise by scoring several points. Between Jack Nichols and Stanley Klopstock, the Seniors managed to garner many points from the 120 pound events. Klopstock won both the 75 yard and 300 yard dashes and Nichols placed first in the high jump and took second in both dashes. Peters, Reilly, Bollenbach and XVilliams took care of the remain- ing points. The Seniors again excelled in the 130 pound class. Gunetti won the shot put and placed in the high jump, 440 yard run, and 100 yard dash for a total of fifteen points. Mires ran the 100 yard dash in fast time to nose out Grille for first place. Glastra, a Sophomore, won the high jump at 5' 3 . Gunetti and Trowbridge were the high point men of the meet, each scoring fifteen points. The interclass swimming meet was held April 20th at Sutro Baths. In spite of the inducement of reduced rates there was not a large attendance. In sev- eral of the races there were so few entrants that everyone swimming placed. The Senior mermen, Kubicek, Grundy, Lahusen, Nichols, Grillo, Kelly and Me- Lachlan completely outclassed their opponents and tallied 66 points to win first place. The Freshmen were second with 23 points and the Juniors third with 21. llPage 65ll QI zrfwfzraufe Ig, 45.-an X, link Qtnimrhing illsam HIS year's swimming team is not extraordinarily strong.

HPage 6711 -QI afwfsr riff 'IQ- ilinh Uliennis UR tennis team for this year was composed of several strong and experienced players. Some of these were veterans from last yearls team while others filled in the gap left by graduation. The school entered two teams in the A. A. A. tournament-a 130 pound team and the unlimiteds. The two teams held several practice matches with the Physicians and Surgeons College before the A. A. A. competition began. These matches were played at Fleishbacker Court. The only player who was able to win in the singles was Gene Mires, 130 pound player. In the doubles Mires and Nichols defeated their opponents 6-3, 0-2, but the unlimited players were unable to win a contest. In the A. A. A. tournament the unlimited doubles lost to Lowell after a hard fight. The 130 pound doubles team also lost to Commerce after two close sets. In the singles Abbott lost in the first round, but Irvine played his way to the semi-finals where he was defeated by the player who eventually won the cham- pionship. The 130 pound singles also ended in defeat for our players. Nichols was forced to default and Mires lost his sets to Lowell 6-0, 6-0. The members of the 13O's are as follows: Manager Gene Mires, a fast experienced player who was number one man. J ack Nichols, a new man who plays an excellent game in doubles. Donald McLachlan, another new man who plays a hard smashing game. The unlimiteds are as follows: Captain Van Irvine, a veteran from last year and the school 's best player. Edward Haynes, another veteran who excels in the doubles. Ralph Abbott, a new man who plays both singles and doubles well. Alan Metzger, an exceptionally strong singles player. llPage 6811 Q1 atftefitiufz lg, illiznnis Tournaments HIC mixed doubles tennis tournament hehd at the Lux courts this term Was even more successful, if possible, than the one held there last fall. Under the able direction of Frances Canfield and Gene Mires, the matches were played off as swiftly as possible although there were many delays due to the rain. Great interest was shown in the tournament by both the girls and boys. A large number of spectators were in attendance at each match rooting for their favorite teams. A few of the boys waxed so enthusiastic over the matches and rooted so boisterously that the boys' privilege of attending the matches was suspended. The ban was, however, lifted in time for them to witness the semi- final and iinal matches. The results of the tournament proved a complete up- set to all predictions. Two dark horse teams played their way through the tournament to the iinals leaving a trail of bewildered opponents in their wake, many of whom had been favored to win. One of these teams consisted of Rose O'Donnell and Jack Nichols, the winners of the tournament. The other team was composed of Analouise Turner and Alan Metzger. After the first round all the weaker players were eliminated and only the more experienced ones remained. ln the semi-Hnals Rose 0'lDonnell and J ack Nichols fought it out with Ed Haynes and Viola Young to win 5-7, 6-0, 7-5, and Analouise Turner and Al Metzger turned the trick on Don Mcliachlan and Louise O'Keefe 6-4, 6-4. The final match between these two winning teams was the best match. of the Whole tournament. It was hotly contested throughout, and the result was in doubt until the last moment. Rose O 'Donnell and Nichols were the winners by a score of 7-5, 7-5. They were more consistent in their playing than was the other team and this probably Won the match for them. This is the second mixed doubles tournament that has been held at Lux, the other being held last term. Judging by their success, tournaments will be con- tinued in the future. These matches are excellent for developing players for the big A. A. A. tournament. Below is a picture 0 the Winning doubles team. In the girls' singles tournament, F. Canfield was declared school champion, defeating both upper and lower class champions, L. O'Keefe, E. Grundy and H, Peterson.
