GD T C L OG CO F NC SC GREEN ci' Gotp PRINCIPALS MESSAGE It's hard to break old ties, to leave the dear familiar places, to say goodbye to teachers and schoolmates and go out into the world to take up new work and make a new start. But Youth courts Adventure, loves to challenge the Unknown, yearns to foresee the day of Victory, when like Lindy he shall return with Honors and a line kind of Success. You, members of the Class of 1928, who have spent four years in Livermore High, who have recited and sometimes not recited in its rooms, done experiments in its Lab, played great games in its wonderful Gym, and enjoyed all sorts of good times in plays and parties, excursions and assemblies, you now go forth to try yourselves in real combat in the World of Life. There you will find yourselves prepared more or less, in proportion as you have really used your opportunities here. For, as you have gained success here and really earned your Diplomas of Graduation, so you will find Success and Honor in the world outside. Mark well these words of the Vice-President of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, in an address last year before University of California students. He had just completed a survey of scholarship records of the 8,000 college graduates em- ployed by his company. He said, Those men who achieved a place in the highest ten per cent of their college classes are receiving by far the larger salaries, and their salary scale shows an upward trend all through life. Almost every time, men who had lower scholarship records got lower salaries in later life. Scholarship records do measure a man's ability to succeed. Class of 1928, we, your friends, have confidence in you, that you will make good, that vou will bring honor to Livermore High. and yourselves enioy success and happiness. And you. juniors, the Class of 1929! You have but one short year left to prepare for the great test, that great examination that you must take when you accept vour first real job and submit yourselves in competition with others to do an honest days work for a fair day's pay. Only one year, less than 200 days of school! Visualize to yourselves the Real Test of Life and work as never before. And vou, Sophomores and Freshmenl I foresee for you still greater opportunities. For you I confidently hope will rise a new building, modern throughout, which shall assist you still better to prepare for life where competition grows every day more keen. Yours, we hope, it will be to establish new traditions, new standards, new expectations. And to the larger community, to the Alumni, the Faculty, the Trustees, the Citizens of Livermore generally, to all of you in whose hands lies the future of Livermore High, may I not make appeal? Will you not work loyally together to further the best interests of the school, to establish here in your midst, in the old home-town, an institution of which you may be in every way proud, a center of learning, a place of training of Head and Hand and Heart, a school that shall at least give the Youth of Livermore the same opportunities for preparation for life's work as are afforded the boys and girls of other progressive communities in California?

PRATT CALIFOR NIA TH EATRE L61 STORY GREEN tif GOLD EDITORIAL In all walks of life, the Spirit of Progress is taking a firm hold, increasing the output of industry, improving the efficiency of finished products, and bettering the welfare of the people in general. And so it is that the Spirit of Progress has entered our school, making more efficient our implements of learning and thereby increasing our chances of making a success in later life. Some day in the future the Spirit of Progress will become so all-powerful that the urge to further advance the chances of success for Youth will culminate in the erection of a fine new building with modern equipment where the seeds of Learning may be more abundantly scattered. Our latest achievement of progress is our Annual, which is entering its sixth year of existence. Last year marked the beginning of a great advance in the improvement in our year book. For the first time the GREEN AND GOLD was printed, bringing to a close the era of the typewritten Annual. The Annual this year has been increased in size one-half over last year's Annual, and more space has, therefore, been available for subject matter and pictures. The cover has been carefully chosen as the one to best protect the contents of the volume while at the same time providing an attractive exterior for our year book. Many factors have made possible the publishing of a larger Annual than has ever before been put out by the Livermore Union High School. Chief among these factors is the wonderful support in a financial way given us by the business men of the com- munity whose names are listed on The Booster Page, The donation received from the High School Trustees was also a great help in making this issue of the GRISVN AND GOLD possible. And hnally, to the members of the Annual Staff and faculty advisors in charge of the various departments must be given credit for the greater part of what- ever success this Annual may attain. THIS Eniroa, THE LIVERMORE HIGH SCHOOL CREED I believe in the Livermore High School as a democratic institution, whose ideals are for the welfare of the students and the community, a solid unit composed of many units, a co-operative organization of co-operating workers, bound together by ties of comradeship, friendship, and the desire to work for the success of the School. I believe it is my duty to my School to uphold its honor, to protect its property, to comply with the just wishes of its faculty, and to respect its honor system.

During the past four years we have been completing that career and laying the founda- tion for our characters. And Time alone can prove the worth of that foundation. The Class of '28 began immediately to make a place for itself. On Halloween the Freshman Return Party was given, and a play entitled Bargain Day at Mr. Bloominsteins' was presented. Reba Teeter's portrayal of Mr. Bloominstein has not yet been forgotten. On the same program was a vocal solo by Rosie Ferrario and a violin solo by Thelma Ferrario. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. We Went home tired but content with our first venture into society. Despite their noise and giggles, the Freshmen did not forget the needy. A number of Christmas boxes were sent to Guam and many White Gifts were distributed in the community. The Class of '28 demonstrated their scholastic ability very soon, Four members be- longed to the local Honor Society and two to the State Chapter. In athletics the class was well represented. Many of our boys were on teams in which they remained through their four high school years. At the end of our Freshman year the Livermore a High School realized that here was a class destined to leave an excellent record behind it. Our Sophomore year found us as energetic as ever. On October 11 we entertained the juniors at a dancing party in the Assembly I-lall. The Sophomores of Major C under the direction of Miss Lynam, presented a program in honor of American lfdu- cation Week. In March, American Literature program was given under the guidance of Miss Anderson. Our class had the distinction of being the only class to be asked ro speak at any outside organization. The program for American Education Week was ll3l GREEN 6 GOLD given at the Lions Club. On December 12, we entertained the Student Body at a Christmas party. A play, The Christmas Guest, and a program of music and poems was presented. Santa Claus left a gift for every Senior. Again, we had a high scholastic standing. Eleven Sophomores earned membership in the local Honor Society and four in the State Chapter. In athletics and junior Red Cross activities, we occupied a prominent position. With heads held high, we began our junior year. We may well be proud of this year. Egerything we attempted was a success. We adopted the motto: Play the game, and prepared to play a winning game. In November we received our class rings and pins. On February 26, our great social event, the junior Prom, for which we had worked so hard and planned so much, was given. The Gymnasium was artistically decorated in blue and gold, our class colors. The success of our Prom exceeded our wildest expectations. On june 4 we entertained the Seniors at a de-luxe Senior-Junior Banquet which was a great success. However, we did not devote all our time to social activities. We were very interested in athletics. The boys played on various school teamsg the girls organized a basketball team and won the champion- ship for interclass games. Our Junior Class led in School Savings. With such a foundation as our first three years in high school gave us, we were sure of being THE Senior Class, And now the longed-for time has come. 'We are Seniors! just as active as ever, we are. The boys and girls still retain their place in athletics as well as in junior Red Cross work and International Correspondence. In the beginning of the term, we entertained the Freshmen and made them feel as if they'd always belonged to the Student Body. In this organization the Senior Class is well represented. Lloyd Beebe is president, Rosie Ferrario vice-president, and Elvira Holm secretary. A Senior has been president of the Honor Society during the two Senior semesters and we are proud to say that it was a Senior who won the cup presented by the Native Sons for the best essay on the History of California, Miss Bernice Nickerson taking first prize. And then came the night of the Senior Play- 'Polly With a Past. fAnd what a past charming Polly construedlj Folks say it was the best play any Senior Class ever presented. On May 12, we will have the great social event of the season-our Senior Ball. Will it be a success? With all our foregoing successes, the ball is sure to be a brilliant affair. And on May 51, Commencement, a fitting climax to four of the most successful years a class ever spent in the Livermore Union High School. There is never a road that is straight, At some point or other it branches off into a by-road. We have come to the parting of the ways. Some of us will go to workg others wll go to higher institutions of learning. Whichever road we take, we will travel with head held high, with a firm, steady tread, until we reach the end of the road where Success is spelled in blazing letters and when we get there we will still endeavor to live: . . . 1111! lllIb?t'01llflig men zrlw .rfr0z'e with gmf.r. And in the background of our memory, somewhere, will linger always the picture of an old high school, where four years of our lives were spent, and where the in- destructible quality of Friendship was firmly cemented to our characters. Old School, faithful Teachers, loving Classmates: all Friends that we cannot forget.

They got them in September. The juniors were well represented in sending Guam boxes. The girls spent some of their spare time in dressing dolls and getting other things for them. The Juniors also did their share in bringing Wliite Gifts at Christmas time. Before the close of the first semester, we elected our officers for the next semester. All who held office the first semester were reaelected except the secretary. The new secretary is Yolanda Raboli. This semester was the bevinninv of our social life. The Junior Prom, held oh Febrbary 18, was a success and was enjoyed by all. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with japanese lanterns, parasols, and plaques, presenting an attractive appearance. The School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Graham, played several selections. Miss Wente, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Hampson, sang two solos. Thelma Ferrario. accompanied at the piano by Edna George, played two violin solos. The High School Orchestra furnished the dance music. The juniors are now busy preparing for the junior-Senior Banquet which will be given May 26. The decorations will be carried out in blue and gold in honor of the Seniors. There will be about 70 present at the banquet. Our guests of honor will be Mr. and Mrs. Lee. The juniors will also decorate the Grammar School Auditorium for Commencement. ' Our class is prominent in the Honor Society, having the largest representation of any other. The president of the Girls' League is Leona Lassen, a junior. julia Moy, of our fclass, is vice-president, Yolanda Raboli is secretary pro-tem. The juniors are also prominent in athletics. The girls have organized' a basketball team, but as yet have played only a few games. The boys are well represented on the football and basketball teams, showing what we can do. We are interested in junior Red Cross work, too. Esalyne Rich is the chairman, and is kept out of mischief. She does her work well and we are proud of her. To date, the juniors have deposited 35288.95 Our only rivals are the Seniors, and they arent so far ahead of us. LIST GREEN 6' GOLD M5 SOPHOMORE CLASS cLAss otfr1cERs Pmrjdezzl .... Y.A. ,w...

The party was given on Friday evening, December 16, and was quite .1 success. An interesting program was presented, the main features of which were: The presenting of the Cali- fornia Essay Awards by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Bernice Nickerson winning as first prize a silver loving cupg the presenting of the Wliite Gifts by the Red Cross Representatives to Miss lessen, and the presenting of presents to the Seniors by Santa Claus. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The Sophomores took an active part in filling Red Cross boxes to send to Guam and in bringing Wliite Gifts at Christmas time. The class donated money to buy a subscription to a magazine to send to .lohn Cronin, a member of the class, who is ill in a hospital in Redwood City.

On September 23 they were formally welcomed by the school with the Freshmen Reception. At Halloween the Freshmen entertained the school with a Halloween costume party. See upon the tapestry the sturdy athletes of the Freshmen Class! Is this boy not Lincoln Callaghan, who at Once became a member of the 'Varsity football and basket- ball teams? Andre Bonne and Norman Smith played throughout the season on the B basketball team. The girls, too, Organized a team, and though every game played was lost by the girls, they have promising material for the future. The following picture portrays the Freshmen doing junior Red Cross work. In this they helped fill the annual boxes for the children of Guam. They have sent letters and flowers to their Sick classmates. Portfolios were prepared by the Explorers Club of Miss Murphys History I class, which were sent to France and Norway, respectively. A few Of the girls made St. Patrick favors, which were sent to the Veterans' Hospital. XY!Oven into the tapestry are these words: Live wire. While this was the name given by the English I class of Miss Murphy tO their high school paper, it is the key to the Freshman school spirit. Now we must put our books away So, good-bye, dear school, 'twill not be long As our Freshman term is Over, 'Ere we return once more, And soon we may romp on hills and play, Full Of pep and full of song, Or rest among the clover.

L35l GREEN 6 GoLD GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League of the Livermore Union High School, an organization whose purpose is to develop cooperation and good fellowship among the girls to encourage courtesy, loyalty, and democratic behavior, has been organized for six years. The League has had monthly meetings every first Monday of the month through- out the ist year This day also is set aside as Middy Day A contest was started to iwlx L . I C c 1 L L . C see which class could have the largest percentage of its girls wearing Middies. The juniors and Seniors had the same percent. At the first meeting of the year officers were elected, and due to having two Gym classes two Vice-Presidents were elected to preside over the meetings in the classes. julia Moy was elected for the Sixth Period Class and Leona Lassen for the Fifth Period Class. Elvira Holm was elected President of the League and Reba Teeter Secretary of Fifth Period Class and Myrtle Groth Secretary for the Sixth Period Class. This year as usual the girls from the Livermore League sent delegates to the Confederation meeting. Those who attended were Julia Moy and Leona Lassen, with Mrs. Gilbert, the faculty advisor. The Convention was held in Redwood City. The delegates gave speeches when they returned and told of the ideas they had learned in regard to bet- tering their own League. One of the most interesting events that took place during the past year was the Initiation Party, when the upper classmen initiated the Freshmen girls and the new teachers. All the girls present were dressed in kid clothes. The afternoon was spent in playing games, initiating the new members into the League and serving refresh- ments. A very enjoyable time was had by all of those present. The next point of interest for the girls was Athletics. This year each class formed a basketball team which challenged other teams of the school. The juniors were victorious after defeating the Freshmen and Sophomores and the Senior girls being too busy with the Senior Play could not meet the Juniors and so were forced to forfeit their games. It is to be regretted that the Seniors and juniors could not meet to decide the championship definitely. The Seniors were champs last year and would have put up a stiff battle with this years' championship team. The members of the junior girls team will receive Block L's which were given to the Girls' Athletic Club by the Student Body. There was also a team formed of juniors and Seniors to play the Business Girls Team. The High School girls were victorious in two contests against this team. As a whole, the girls of the Livermore High School show more than average ability in playing basketball. The girls have had very good cooperation in making up programs for their monthly meetings. Mrs. Gilbert deserves much credit for her help during the past year. She has given many interesting talks which have been very beneficial to the girls. Every year the Girls' League is getting more interesting and the cabinet hopes that next year will prove even a greater success for girls' activities than the past year has shown. f26l GREEN 6' Goin ALUMNI Alumni activities for the years 1927 and 1928 began with the Annual Roll Call Dinner at Mally's Grill on November 26. Election of oliicers for the new year was held at a short business meeting which preceded the dinner. The class of 1926 had the largest percentage of its members present, entitling it to have the class numerals on the Alumni pennant. On February 5, 1928 a meeting of the Alumni was held at Miss Nissens home, and plans for the year's activities were outlined and discussed. Foresters Hall was the setting for a Leap Year Party for Alumni members and their friends on Tuesday evening, February 14. The Leap Year spirit was carried out during the dance, and gentlemen who walked across the floor without lady escorts were fined ten cents. The party was acclaimed a success by all those present-especially by the ladies. Last year the Alumni gave a dinner to the Senior Class which served both as an initiation for the Seniors, and as a reunion for the members. This year it was de- cided that the dinner should be made an annual affair, and plans are now under way to initiate the Seniors into the Alumni at a dinner at Mally's Grill on April 28, the night of the Alumni Ball. Following its customary procedure, the Alumni is now planning for the annual ball which is to be held at Sweeney's on April 28. It is hoped that the Alumni will maintain its reputation of former years by having a ball that is both a social and .1 financial success. The proceeds of the Alumni Ball will go toward the Scholarship Fund, which will be awarded to a deserving member of this years Senior Class. The fund of one hundred dollars will be paid in quarterly installments to the recipient, the first installment to be paid on the opening date of college. This money is extended in the form of .i loan without interest to be returned to fund one year after recipient leaves college. Any person to be eligible must be a senior in the Livermore High School, must have a principals recommendation, must need the help, and must be entering some non-sectarian school. Business colleges are not included. The Scholarship Committee, consisting of Charles Sweet, Fred Young, Beatrice Harvey, Mrs. Henry Hupers, and Lloyd Gunderson will decide upon the awarding by May 1. In this capacity, the Livermore High School Alumni Association is endeavoring to aid its future members, as well as those who are already members, The Alumni unites the graduates of Livermore High School and induces a feeling of good fellow- ship between them and those who are yet to come-the future Alumni. l27l GREEN 6 Goto LITERARY THE sEcReT or A PERSIAN RUG The room I entered was a small palace of luxuriousness. There were deep cush- ioned chairs, a grande piano, an old violin, a radio cabinet, an orthophonic victrola, a glowing flre was in the great fireplace, on both sides of which was a bookcase filled with leather-bound books. Blue velvet drapes hung gracefully from the eight wide windows. On the walls were exquisite oil paintings. The dim light of many shaded lamps and the rosy glow of the hreplace completed the picture. What impressed me most was the Persian rug on the floor. Various shades of blue, it was with intricate floral designs. 'Twas a fantastic rug. What at flrst appeared to be gorgeously colored flowers. on close examination, took many shapes and forms. If you gazed upon a certain design intently, you could trace human features-a pair of searching eyes, a nose, a mouth-but never could you flnd the entire face. Some- times you could almost complete what you thought would be a profile when suddenly your eye shifted and the face was lost. Again, when looking at a large group of flowers, you could see a garden-the blue sky, a fountain, rose covered lattices, benches. Quickly all this would vanish and in its place were hills and sheep. Try as you might, you would never see the same picture twice. Sometimes the blue sky was gray, or the flowers grew in profusion instead of on a lattice, or the fountain and bench were missing. The hills were different. Often they were rugged and bleak with no sheep upon them or they might be low plains covered with wild flowers. Strange this rug and beautiful. Well, there were stranger things in this world than this rug. I took a book from the bookcase, drew a comfortable chair before the fireplace, and prepared to spend an hour reading. But I couldn't read. My mind kept wandering to the Persian rug under my feet. Why could I see those fair gardens, those green and gray hills, those mysterious faces. Was it mere fancy or were they actually there? Thus wandering, I sat looking into the fireplace as if I would flnd an answer there. And here I saw, rather than heard, the tale of the Persian rug. Green, green hills that seemed to touch the blue, blue sky, rose before me. On their slopes, white sheep grazed. When they were tired of the hills, the sheep ran down into a tiny valley where a brook wound its way into a flower-bordered pond. Here the sheep drank and ran races along the pond. Then up into the hills they ran and played until sunset when a young boy and a great dog came to drive them home. I-le was a handsome lad, this young shepherd. But was he a shepherd? His fair skin and flne hands seemed at variance with the life of a shepherd. I followed the young boy. I-Ie did not go home to a thatched cottage, he went to a Black Marble palace! What a strange home for a shepherd boy to live in. The Black Marble palace was surrounded by gardensAsunken gardens, terraced gardens, old fashioned gardens. Directly in front of the palace was a great extent of lawn fashioned in queer shapes-stars, a full, a quarter and a half moon. The shepherd boy came down the Black Marble steps. I-Iow different he looked. Gone was the shepherds simple garb and in its place were the purple velvets and sables of a king. Oh. but what a look was in his eyesl That boy was far from happy. I23l GREEN 69 GOLD Now, he would go to the terraced or sunken gardens and write poetry or dream. But I was mistaken. He went into the old fashioned garden. Flowering trees entwined their branches about each other and formed such a nei- work of color that only occasionally could the evening sky be seen. Many fountains played an accompaniment to the song of the Evening Bird. The Boy sat upon a wood- land bench. I had noticed that under his arm he carried an oblong black box. He opened the box and took out a violin. He walked to a sheltered nook. A lattice had been built to form a large semi-circle. Covering the lattice were pink and blue flowers. In the center of this bower was a fountain whose waters fell over rocks that led to the sunken garden. lt was beside this fountain that the Boy began to play. The music he played made the Evening Bird cease his song and even the waters of the fountain fell more softly. This was what the music told me. The Boys mother was a Princess, his father was a shepherd. Wlieia the shepherd married the Princess he was very happy, but oh, how he longed for the hills and the sheep. But now he was Prince and must live in the Black Marble Palace. After many years the Prince died of lonesomeness and the Princess soon followed him. Now they were living happily in the hills of Paradise. But their little Boy was living alone in the palace, and he, like his father, wanted the hills. The Boy had many sheep, He would dress himself like a shepherd and with his great dog would watch them all day. In two weeks he would become King and never more would he be able to watch his sheep on the green, greern hills under the blue, blue sky. No wonder he was sad. The music stoppedg the Boy went back to the Black Marble Palace. Two weeks passed. There was a great feast in the Black Palace. The Boy was crowned King. He sat on a throne brighter than the sun. The emeralds and rubies with which it was studded, sent out rays that vied with the brightest rainbow. All about the King was beauty and wealth-fair maidenhood, young knights, rich velvets and glittering jewels. A troop of servants waited behind the Kings throne to serxe his every wish. There was song and drinking and eating. Yet all this merrymaking and splendor could not efface the sadness and longing in the young Kings face. The years passed. The boy was an aged King. He spent all his leisure time in the high tower atop of the Black Marble Palace. From here he could see all the hills in the world. He saw the white sheep grazing on the green hillsg he saw the carefree Shepherd Boy lead the sheep to the flower-bordered pondg he saw the thatched cottage of Corydon and Thyrsis Hbetwixt two aged oaksug he saw his own life in the Black Palace. The people of the Court wondered why he shut himself up in the tower and why he had so much sheep-wool brought to him and why he employed the worlds most renowned chemists to work with him. One day the King died. They laid him in a white marble coffin and put him in .1 great room whose walls were covered with black velvet. After the world had paid him homage, they placed his white marble cotlin in a black marble vault that was built in the flowery bower where he had played so many years before, The King was soon forgotten. But the fairest of the fair maidens, who had tried to make him smile on the day of his coronation, did not forget him. She went to find consolation in the tower where he had spent so much of his time. Here she found a T291 GREEN 6 Goto magnificent Persian rug. As she looked at the intricate floral designs, she seemed to see shadowy hills and gardens and mysterious faces. She was astonished. Very carefully she rolled the rug and took it home. There she hung it in her own boudoir. Every day at the time when shepherds came home she was lonesome and wished the King were living. It was then she found consolation in gazing at the strange tug. The first few weeks she had it, it was merely a myriad of intricate designs wrought in riotous colors. Then, one day when her heart was especially aching and het soul was especially weary, she slowly climbed the stairs to her boudoir. But today she was sure she would find no usurcease of sorrow in the rug. From the window, she sor- rowfully looked at the setting sun. Her sun had set forever when the King had died, it had left no afterglow. Then she turned to the rug. How long she gazed upon it, no one can ever tell, but vaguely she traced a sad face. Then she saw the face was in a Hower-covered arbor. That was all. Again and again, when heaitsick, she found peace in the fantastic rug. Wlien she was happy, the faces in the tug seemed to smile and the flowers to nod. When she was sad, the flowers were drooping and withered and the faces seemed to slowly shake their heads as if they tried to tell her not to grieve. She grew to love the rug. And as the years passed by, she found in it all the beauty, all the poignant longing of the man she loved. And she was happy. Her sun was shut away in the Wlaite Marble Coffin in the Black Marble Sepulcher of the King, but the King had left behind him his rug-her afterglow. With a start, I jumped out of my comfortable chair. How cold I was. Oh, no won' deixl The glowing logs in the fireplace were gray ashes. THELMA M, FERRARIO, '28 RAINDROPS After a day of soggy gray clouds That blotted the blue from the sky, After the sun has gone over the rim And the Specter of Night presses nigh, Then come the raindrops, children of clouds, Beating with soft stealthy tread, Raindrops that sing like the ttill of a bird, Sing after sunset has fled.

She had been taken captive by the king of Tenochtitlan. This king, Radan, was a cruel and mean man. His subjects all hated him and frequently there were serious rebellions. He had no love for anyone but himself. He hated Tneutschi because she was his enemy's daughter and because she was famous, far and near, for her wild beauty. His own daughter was homely. Tneutschi was as lithe and graceful as the panthers in the palace garden. Her hair was of raven hue. Her eyes were deep black pools and her lips were ruby red. She truly was the beauty of the Aztec country. No wonder the famous warrior, Nexcoyotl loved this captive maiden. The feast day of Mexitli, their God of War, was swiftly approaching. Every year there was a great carnival, ending with the burning of the most beautiful maiden In the country. This year Tneutschi was twenty years of age and old enough to have the honor fthey considered it a great honorj of being queen of the carnival. The people loved this maiden and hesitated to choose her, for they did not want to have her burned. However, she was claimed by the priests and Nexcoyotl could do nothing to save her. Radan was secretly glad that she was chosen. Tneutschi had to live a secluded life in the temple for ten days before the feast day. She prayed and prepared herself to go to the War God, Mexitli. Although there was a faint hope that Nexcoyotl would save her. She tried hard to be true to her Gods. Once when she felt afraid, she heard a voice saying, Be true. On the feast day she was dressed in a white robe with garlands of roses around it. Roses were wound in her hair and there were silver bracelets with turquoise stones oil her ankles and arms, and a fantastic crown of beaten silver encircled the glory of her hair. Oh, Nexcoyotlf' she cried, save me. These are not my people, nor is this my country. Why' should I die away from home? She was led to her rose-covered chair, which was carried by four stalwart warriors, resplendent in their waving plumes and silver bracelets. They were followed by many maidens singing and dancing and strewing roses on the path. Their slim brown bodies flashed in the sunlight. Yet the perfumed air hung heavy upon all as of impending tragedy. Wlien the procession arrived at the lake, the people had already gathered with thrilled, hushed expressions upon their faces. They loved the captive maideng still this was the only way in which the wrath of the Wfar God might be appeased. The King was there and lo at his right hand stood Nexcoyotl the warrior, while at his left stood his ugly daughter. She was proud and haughty, but had determined to have the famous Nexcoyotl as her husband. The face of Nexcoyotl was without expression, yet as Tneutschi passed in the pro- cession, his eyes flashed a message to her. She was brought to the edge of the lake where the pyre had been placed. Her ashes were to be thrown into this beautiful lake. The pure white water-lilies which grew there were said to be the spirits of the former maidens who had been sacrificed, She stood before the pile of sandalwood awaiting the torches. She had determined Nil GREEN G Goto to be true to her Gods and think of the people who had befriended her. She stood with her head held high, her eyes staring straight before her, with hands clasped. The chanting of the priests began, and a low roar was heard from the panthers, as if they, too, feared something. Yet the King and his daughter looked on with cold triumphant gleams in their black eyes. The King ordered the people away so that he might see the daughter of his enemy. The people marveled at her beauty and honored her the more for her bravery, for she conducted herself as a true Aztec maiden should. The chanting of the priests came nearer until their procession was seen among the trees. The sacred torch bearers led the procession. They came nearer, Tneutschi shiversg then she became as still as a statue. The torch bearers lit the twig around her and the flames leaped high over this beautiful maiden. Suddenly a cry was heard. Nexcoyotl came bounding through the throng. I-ie leaped through the flames and stood by the maiden. He held her tightly. Wlaeil last seen they were gazing with rapt, upturned faces into the blue heavens. A thunderous voice was heard, thunder re-echoed in the airg and the lightning Hashed across the sky. The people were amazed and terrified. Radan, the King, heard the voice, which said to him: You are the one that I demand, you and your cruel daughter. Never again shall you molest your people. A ball of Fire appeared in the heavensg it descended upon Radan and his daughter. Wheia it was lifted, two images of stone were in their place. To this day two stone images are on the banks of this beautiful lake. They are worn down by rain and wind, but still the people tell of the God who was just. And a favorite tale is of the two bright stars set close together in the heavens that shine with a brilliant white hue. These two were seen the night after Tneutschi and Nexcoyotl offered themselves to the war god. These stars keep watch over the friendless people who befriended them when they were mortals on earth.

REGINA Twomay, '30 f52l GREEN 6' Goto THE CATH-DESTRUCTO RAY It was the night of March 12, 1928, that I completed the discovery. It was an enormous machine with thousands of tubes and many coils. The coils, red from the heat of the dynamo, were sending out electrical vibrations every instant. The machine was based on the discovery of the cathode ray. The machine I invented had intensified the cathode ray to the nth degree. Immediately upon completing this machine, the result of years of work, I decided to test it. I directed the force against a piece of steel. I was aghast at what followed. At first the iron glowed wierdly with a strange blue light, then in a puff of vapor vanished. I was, in the language of the common crowd, flabbergasted. I sat down to try and realize the tremendous possibilities of such an invention. I could readily see that the practice of blasting would be done away with, for by the simple expedient of turning the tube towards the desired area and twisting a knob, a months work would be done. Then, too, during war nothing could prevail against it for the bullets in the very air would be vanished. The invention had come too far beyond all expectations I had conceived for it. I decided to see what the action of the rays really were that caused such a disin- tegregating force. After a systematic study until twelve o'clock I found that the force caused a breaking down and dispersing of atoms. Thus I saw that it was a great good in the right hands and a menace in the hands of an evil man. 'I wondered Cas I shouldntj what distance the disintegregating force would travel. I headed the beam south and then as the thought came to me that it was very dangerous I shut it off. It was around three o'clock in the morning, I then thought up the name, using the main features of the invention, which re- sulted in the Cath-Destructos title. All of a sudden the strain of the last three days made me feel weak so I went to bed. I awoke at twelve o'clock the next day much refreshedg but the shock that greeted me nearly put me OLII. The St. Francis dam had gone through at three o'clock this morning, the very instant I had turned the terrible Ray south! As the force of the blow passed l decided to see the stricken area and dam to ascertain if the ray had really caused the Hood. The very instant I crushed the crumbly cement in my hand I knew the ray had done its work well. I went home and tried to figure why the cement had not been entirely destroyed. It was obvious that the ray had traveled a great distance, a matter of live hundred miles, and that it had probably loosened the whole mass of cement and this with the water behind caused the flood. I made a small replica of the Ray Machine and proved that the further it went the less the force. John, I said to my friend, what would be done to a man who caused such .1 Hood? He would be torn limb from limb, was the answer. I was frankly frightened. I went to the police court and told them my story. Wlien I was finished I found the police looking queerly at me. The next instant I was thrown into a cell babbling to myself incoherently. They say that I am mad, for the house with all my instruments was destroyed fbefore they investigatedj by tire. This concludes the manuscript that I have written, and I swear that it is true. , . John bchaefer.

BEEB12, '28 HUMAN NATURE I have just come to the conclusion that an auto race track is a very good place to observe human nature, as well as the race. It seems to be a trait of us humans to belittle the other fellow's deed, and to exaggerate our own Qof course, there are exceptions, but I am speaking generallyj. While I was at the auto race in Pleasanton last Sunday, I heard more than once the remark, Now, if I were driving that car, I'd ....

DOIICSLAS IQENNIEDY, '30 I34l GREEN 6 GOLD BACKBONE AND WISHBONE These two bones, backbone and wishbone, the doctor will tell any inquisitive person are found one on the human body, the other on a chicken. The question to determine is which is on the man, and which on the chicken. The man, for an example, who sits in the park all day, occupying space until the policeman chases him on, the man who wishes some foolish fancy that money will sprout on trees before his eyes, or has some crazy notion that a kind fairy will take a hand in his affairs and make his living more enjoyable, who leaves his wife to a life of drudgery and unhappiness at home, is the man who can easily be doubted as the rightful owner of a backbone, as a matter of fact, a wishbone. He can wait years, probably, before any kind fairy will take a fancy to him unless of course, he might be handsome. His backbone is surely absent, and his Wishbone too prominent. just the opposite of this type is the man who owns a backbone. He is the more desirable kind. He takes an interest in work, doesn't wait for it to come galloping at him, and he stands up for his rights, no matter what any Tom, Dick or Harry, will say. He doesn't wish to know any fairies, as he has passed that stage of childhood where kind fairies answer his every wish, and where everything is hotsy-totsyf' Even though the roof catches on fire fit doesn't belong to him anywayj, or his wife breaks a leg, he bears his hard knocks patiently, and is cheerful.

We have been quite active during the past few months. In the operettn, The Pioneers Papoosej' nearly every member was used, some for solo parts, and others lor the chorus. Two numbers were presented in Assembly on Lincoln's Birthday, and three selections were given for an Education Week program at the Grammar School on April 23. The boys have organized with the Girls' Glee Club to do four part singing. The Glee Club quartet sang ll selection at the graduation exercises. The Glee Club proper has just been organized with the following oflicers: Presi- dent, Leo Callrtghrmg vice-president, Grahtun Nisseng secretary, Elliott Doplting. The boys find their singing not only worth-while work but also very enjoyoble work and .rre eager to take up more difficult parts. A new set of books has been bought for male voices.

Other schools that are enrolled are: May School, St. Michaels, Summit School, Midway School, Townsend School and Green School. One of the most interesting phases of junior Red Cross is the International Corre- spondence. This year we have sent fourteen portfolios to foreign countries and have received six. At Christmas time the Livermore Union High School hlled and sent eighty boxes with toys and small gifts for the children of Guam. Other schools sent forty-eight, making a total of one hundred and twenty-eight boxes sent from Livermore to the children of Guam. This year Christmas gifts, valentines, and scrapbooks were sent to the children of the Del Valle Farm from the high school. A book called by Colonel Lindbergh. was sent to the Marine Hospital in San Francisco. We sponsored the Benefit Fund, for those hurt while playing on school teams. At the Christmas program the major room Representatives presented a goodly number of Wliite Gifts to Miss Ada jessen, the community nurse. These were later distributed among the needy of our community. The commercial department addressed one thousand envelopes for the Red Cross Seal Drive at Christmas time. The Freshmen girls sent one hundred and twenty favors to the U. S. Veterans Hospital. Letters were sent to the members of the Student Body who were illg they were also visitd by the members of the Sunshine Committee. ln case of a more serious illness, flowers, plants or baskets of fruit were sent. We secured the membership of the faculty members in the junior Red Cross. The most active of the country schools this year has been the Midway School. We hone to see the other schools show as much participation as this school has during this year. ' f57l GREEN 6 GoLD THE SPANISH CLUB One of the most active organizations in our school for the past year has been the Spanish Club. This club is made up of twenty-one students who are taking second-year Spanish. The meetings of this club are held every other Friday in the Spanish class period, and Spanish is spoken exclusively. Many interesting meetings have been held in this club. At one meeting Mrs. Warner gave a very interesting talk on her visit to Mexico, and also illustrated her talk by show- ing slides on the stereopticon. Another meeting was devoted to selecting a Spanish pin. A very attractive pin was selected with the motto, Circulo Espanol, meaning Spanish Club. A constitution was drawn up and provided for election of officers every six months. For the first term, Thelma Ferrario was elected president, Leo Callaghan vice- president, and Clara jackson secretary. During the second half year, Leo Callaghan was president, Pearl Gilbert, vice-president, and Martin Ahern, secretary. These officers have done much to make the club a success. A very interesting program was arranged on Valentines Day, each member bringing a valentine with a verse written in Spanish for another member of the class. Speeches, games, and songs were planned for the entertainment. Some very good Spanish plays were given for members of other classes. The first play presented had for its cast Regina Twohey, Helena Horgan, and joe Warner. The next play was given by Pearl Gilbert, Donald Stone, and Herbert Brown. These plays were given with all Spanish conversation and customs. Mrs. Simpson, our Spanish teacher, has done very much to make the Spanish Club interesting for the students. She has obtained many pictures from Mexico and South America and has shown them on the stereopticon. She has also received many pamphlets from Spanish-American countries which have been of much value to all the Spanish students. The members of the club have planned to have some sort of an outing before the school year closes. This may consist of a trip to Oakland to see Ramona, a Spanish picture, which is being shown there now. One of the interesting and unique assignments for the Spanish Class has been that of requiring the making of a folder or essay on some country where Spanish is spoken. The resulting volumes on the whole are well arranged and show eHort and interest on the part of the students. Some of the countries described were: Spain, Mexico, Porto Rico, and many of the South American countries. This is the hrst year of the Spanish Club, and we are sure it will not be the last. Many members of the hrst year class have become very much interested in the Spanish Club and are very anxious to continue with it and make it even better next year. An organization such as this provides a novel way of gaining the interest of the student in a subject that might otherwise develop into one of only mediocre importance and value. T381 Gll,EEN 61 GOLD MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL The Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Simpson, has held regular practices every week. Due to the fact that very few Student Body meetings have been held, the girls have been unable to show what they have learned. However, they are to sing with the boys for the American Education Week program April 23. - The school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Graham, has made great strides in showing that the forty-five minute period at the noon hour is well spent. The orchestra made appearances at the Freshman Reception, the Halloween party, the Christmas party, the Senior play, and it is to play selections at the American Education Week program and graduation exercises. Three members of the orchestra graduate this year but that leaves eight experienced members to start the orchestra next year. Besides these eight there are several pupils who have taken music all this year who will be ready to go into the orchestra next year. The orchestra this year is composed of: Thelma lferrario, violin, Pearl Gilbert, violing Herbert Brown, violin, Edna George, pianog Charles McCoy, cornet, Robert Branch, cornet, Graham Nissen, clarinet, Harry Lefeyer, saxophone, joe W.irner, saxophone, Edward George, trombone, Charles Keck, drums. An operetta, The Toreadors, was given by the school lfriday evening, December 9, in the Grammar School Auditorium. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs were drilled by Mrs. Simpson, with the aid of the faculty, for their parts. The orchestra with Mrs. Hamp- son at the piano, furnished accompaniment parts for the singing. It was one of the most successful operettas ever given by the school. H91 GREEN 6 GOLD THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club represents all the science departments of the Livermore Union High School and was organized in 1927. The officers for the year 1927-1928 are: Piwitleizf rr,. FLOYD Rowrizx' Serrelizry ..... ...,. .r.,. .rrr. H E L EN ENNIS The Biology classes conducted a pie sale last fall. The proceeds amounted to 35917, and this was used to buy a moving picture. During this year the Biology classes have been presented with five new microscopes, an incubator for bacteria and an alligator, as well as some specimen mounts including Diapheromera Fermorata fWt1lking Sticky, Mantis Peligosa fPraying Mantisj, and Puncture Vine. The bacteria incubator was built by the shop boys under the direction of Mr. Gibson and Miss King. The model for this incubator is at the Stockton High School. Films were also bought for the Delineascope with the twenty dollars left from the proceeds of The Pioneers Papoosef' an operetta that was given last year. Last year the Chemistry and Physics departments of the Science Club went to Pitts- burg to see the iron works located there, to Antioch to see the process of making paper, and to Avon to see the Shell Oil Works. The Cement works at Cowell were also visited on the trip. At each of the factories we were condutced on our sight-seeing tour by guides provided by each of the companies. The guide answered all of the numerous questions asked concerning the mechanical processes of his factory. Throughout each factory each piece of machinery was explained by the guide and the entire business of making each factory product was simplified. Everyone who went on this trip was enthusiastic in praising it. It was not only a trip of educational value but also one of real interest to each student. Actually seeing machinery run and seeing raw material carried through many stages of manufacture to the Enished product is far more interest- ing than reading of the same process in a book. Of especial interest was the visit to the Iron Works in Pittsburg. This visit was made at about eight o'clock in the evening. After watching the processes of making wire and sheet metal, we were given a real treat when we were allowed to watch the pouring of moulten iron from huge caldrons into forms for cooling. Thus ended perhaps the busiest day of the year for most of those who went on the trip. The General Science classes went to Berkeley to see the Peet Brothers soap factory and at the University of California to see the library and museum. Wliile in Berkeley they also saw the cotton mills. The Biology classes of this year hope to take a trip to the University of California at Berkeley and then across the bay to the Golden Gate Park. Although the Science Club has not been very active this year, as an organization, we expect to make next year a very important one in the history of the club. H01 GREEN 6 GOLD FIRST TEAM H.

The High School girls won the first game, 12-11, and the second 21-9. Each class has a girls' basketball team also. The members of the class teams are: Freshmen-Adel Mestres and Sybil Gilbert, guardsg Charlotte Foscalina and Erma Toponce, centers, Florence Tribble and Edna Toponce, forwards. SophomoresfRena Bergamaschi and Rae Hansen, guards, Myrtle Laughlin and Eva Gustafson, centers, Mary Bergamaschi and Mildred Webber, forwards. juniors-Leona Lassen and Julia Moy, forwards, Antoinette Schenone and Roberta Armstrong, centers, Yolanda Raboli and Wildzi Rees, guards. SeniorsfRosie Ferrario and Reba Teeter, forwardsg Bernice Nickerson and Florence Kiely, centers, Adele Kruger and Margaret Barthe, guards. The first inter-class game was between the Sophomores and Freshmen. The Sophs won, 59-V-4, and also won the return game, 19-7. ln the Junior-Sophomore games, the Sophs won the first game, 1-l-123 the juniors took the second by a 9-8 score. The juniors won the third game from the Sophs by I7-9. juniors won both games with the Freshmen by scores of 29-tw and 26-7. The juniors won the right to meet the Seniors for the school championship but the Seniors were unable ro play and so forfeited the games to the juniors. These teams would have put up a great battle if they had met, for each team is strong, both offensively and defensively. The juniors will receive block L's for their fine play in winning the cliampionship of the school among the girls' class teams.
