'26 I think that a vineyard in winter Is a very gloomy sight. Crumbly leaves lie rotting in dirty brown heaps; The crusty ground is bare and colorless: The vines are colorless, too. One day, As I ran through the vineyard An old gnarled vine stuck out a long, forked prong, And tripped me; Now I regard the winter vineyard as my foe; Indeed, the long rows Resemble a petrified army In regular battle array. With bayonets ready to stab. So I don’t like the vineyard in winter [Twenty- lx] JUNIOR Junior Class I iistory In the fall of 1923 one hundred and fifty trembling freshmen stood before the big, glass doors of L. U. H. S. waiting for admit- tance. Alfred Gatzert was elected President; Marie Ricketts, Vice President; Ruth Rinn, Secretary and Treasurer; Wendell Gannon, Class Representative, and Robert Pickering, Yell Leader. These offi- cers served the new class for that first year. At the beginning of the sophomore year, they cast aside their timid ways. Many of the boys offered themselvse for football and basektball. Wendell Gannon was elected President; Ramona McCor- mick, Vice President; Margaret Eliott, Secretary and Treasurer; and Alfred Gatzert, Class Representative. The third year the class assembled, it was not in fear of being- ruled by the upper classmen, but with the proud consciousness that their word was law to the lower classes. ’27 now played an important part in the activities of the school, being well represented in music and athletics. William Siemmering was elected football captain. The following officers were chosen: Violet Kenefick, President; Paul Rinn, Vice President; Marcia Holbrook, Secretary and Treas- urer; Irwin Wakefield, Class Representative; and Robert Fuller, Yell Leader.

S. in September '24 was, presumably, as unaccustomed to high school ways as preceding classes had been. “They surely are green!” more than one sophomore remarked. However, the eagerly-looked-forward-to reception arrived, and the freshmen were finally made part of the school. Since then they have been doing their utmost, as individuals and as a class, for their school. They boast of members ranking high in athletics, in the orchestra, in operettas and plays, and in every other school activity. Three members achieved the honor of being Cum Laude students. [Thirty-one] [Thirty-two] FRESHMAN jFreskman C lass History In the fall of 25 a goodly number of freshmen, almost two hun- dred, entered L. U. H. S. At first we were inclined to be rather awed by our majestic surroundings, but we soon overcame this and decided to elect class officers to help us through the rather stormy freshman year. We elected the following: Barbara Phillips, Presi- dent: Hugh McKenzie, Vice President; Bobbie Garrison, Secretary and Treasurer; and James Conklin, Class Representative. As the result of another meeting green and gold were chosen as the colors, and the California poppy as the flower. Then came the invitation to the Freshman Reception, which we gratefully accepted. We went, expecting to be laughed at and made fun of, but found the sophomores wonderful hosts. We have reason to be proud of our class athletics, for is not Tony Donadio, one of the best football and basket ball players, and have not Stephen Anderson and Gilbert Engel made circle L’s for second team football? [Thirty-three | CHARLES TOLLIVER 192$ HERBERT CENTNER 1929 ESTHER ITTKRBUK 1926 LESLIE STINE 1926 [Thirty-fourJ EDITORIALS “Know us by the deeds we accomplish; Heaven is not gained in a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lovely earth to the vaulted skies.” These words from a great poet will fit the case of the class of 1926. For the past twelve years each member has endeavored to reach a certain goal. That goal was the receiving of a high school diploma by fair and just means. Should we not strive to set a goal as high to live the remainder of our lives by? Not only set such a goal, but actually try to reach it? The art department in this Tokay has used as the basis of the cuts statues which are more or less famous. All credit for this work goes to Miss Loyda Barron, to Donald Lasell, Minnie Dean Jones, and those students of the art classes who co-operated. The prize-winning cover design is the work of Donald Lasell. The editorial staff wishes to acknowledge its gratitude to the English Department of the College of the Pacific for kindly consent- ing to judge the short stories and poems submitted in the Tokay contest. Also, the staff takes this means of thanking the Stockton Photo Engraving Company, Coover’s Studio, and the Associated Printing Company for their ever-pleasant co-operation. To the various students who turned in so many snap-shots, to the commercial department which was so helpful, to every one who has assisted, the staff of the 1926 Tokay expresses the most heartfelt gratitude.

The foreman, Lee Johnson, refused to take him, because he did not think he was the kind of man he wanted. Lee was particular about the men he hired. They had to be good ones. The stranger was turning to mount his horse, when Evert Ede suggested, with a twinkle in his eye, “Lee, won’t you give him a job if he rides Blanco Diablo?” “Sure will,” was Lee’s answer, “and ten dollars a month more than you’re getting.” Diablo was the outlaw of the Lazy F. None of the men had ever succeeded in riding him. Just before the stranger had arrived, Diablo had thrown Bud Wilson, the “champion rider of California.” Bud was a good rider, but he was far from liked on the Lazy F. “Try him a round, stranger. He can’t do any more than kill you,” encouraged Bud. “You can use my saddle, because its’s already on him.” Bud wanted to give the men some laughing stock besides himself. The stranger did not hesitate. “I’ll try him,” he said. He rode Diablo to the finish. The horse put up a hard fight, but he could not throw his rider; moreover, he rode Diablo according to contest rules. When Diablo stopped fighting, the stranger reined him up in front of the men, grinning. “Riding fool!” exclaimed Spud Lane. The only remark from Bud was a growl, which could not be understood. As the stranger jumped from the back of Blanco Diablo, he asked, “Will you take me now?” “Sure will,” was Lee’s answer. “I’ll cut out your string in the morning. The boys will show you your bunk.” This was the way that Dell Salem came to join the Lazy F. In a few days he was recognized by all but Bud Wilson as the top hand. Dell never talked of his past, and the men never asked about it. It was plain that he had not ridden for a long time. The day after he rode Diablo he was so stiff that he could hardly climb on his horse. It was a good many days before he got entirely over his stiffness. Bud Wilson offered his opinion to the others. “There ain’t nothin’ that can bleach and soften a feller like bein’ in jail.” “Huh!” snorted Spud. “He might have been sick in a hospital or something.” “Well,” answered Bud, “there ain’t no disgrace about bein’ sick, and besides he would have said something about it if that was the case. He’s as healthy as a mule.” I Forty-oae J Ivan Smith spoke up. “There ain't no disgrace about bein’ in jail unless you did something pretty sneakin'.” He might have been in a shooting scrape,” offered Bud again. “Shore hope he did!” put in John Hall. “If he’s handy with a gun he’s just the feller we’re goin’ to need around here before long. That J. O. I. bunch is get tin’ too familiar with this calf stealing business.” Familiar!” grunted Evert Ede, “Well, 1 reckon they are!” “Who’s getting so familiar as all that?” asked Dell, coming around the corner of the bunk house and taking a seat alongside the rest of the boys. “We was talking about Openshaw, the feller that owns the J. 0. I. over west of here,” said Evert, turning to Dell. He’s been stealing the Lazy F. calves right and left.” “Isn’t Lee doing anything about it?” asked Dell. “Lee can’t do anything about it. You see this outfit belongs to Williams, the lawyer, in San Francisco. He’s got his head chucked so full of law that he won’t let Lee go ahead and handle the thing the right way. He thinks we should wait and catch one of the J. 0. I. bunch branding a calf with a Lazy F. cow standing looking on.” “Looks like if we kept our eyes open we could catch them brand- ing a calf,” observed Dell. “That’s the funny part of it! It looks like they know where we’re ridin’ every day, because they always work on the other side of the range. I can’t savvy it,” said Evert. With the coming of the warm June weather the boys moved their beds out of the bunk house and spread them on the ground. All did this but Bud, who still slept in his small room. He always left the game of cards early in order to go to bed. The boys all thought it nothing unusual for Bud to act this way. Dell seemed to enjoy the sleeping out of doors better than most people. He soon began to leave the game of cards when Bud did. None of the men knew that he spent some time walking in the dark. The J. O. I. crowd became bolder with their calf stealing. It was Lee’s habit to talk the matters of the range over every night with the boys; it was then that they would also decide where they were going to ride the next day. On the morning of the twentieth of June he changed his mind for the first time. All of the men were at the corral but Dell, ready to rope out their horses, when the foreman came from his house. As he passed the bunk house, Dell stepped out and talked with him for a few moments, then walked with him to the corral. Spud was about to throw his rope on a small bay, when Lee called to him, “Wait a minute, Spud.” As he came closer, he began, “I said we would ride in Senica today, but I decided we had better ride in Dixie Canyon instead. We haven’t rode that part of the range for a long time. Rope your stoutest horses, ’cause we’ll have a hard ride.” Soon they were in the saddles jogging west. At about ten they rForty t vn1 came to the foot of Dixie Canyon, where they separated and soon dis- appeared from sight. There was something in the foreman’s last words that put cau- tion into their veins: “Ride slow and careful, ’cause we’re apt to see something today.” Suddenly a shot was heard in the north. At another time noth- ing would have been thought of this, but today their work did not call for a shot unless it was absolutely necessary. The riders turned to the ridges that they might be able to see more. Ivan Smith soon saw Bud sitting on his horse on a little ridge, motioning to him with his hat. Ivan rode over to him. On his right Bud had heard a calf bawl, as though it were being branded. He had ridden up the hill so that he could be better able to locate the spot where the sound had come from, and perhaps see something of Spud, who was to be riding in that direction. Then, from about the same place from which the shot had come, two men had run across the opening. One of them was Dell Salem, and the other a stranger. At the edge of the clearing they separ- ated. Dell turned north, and the stranger rode toward the J. 0. I. All this was told to Ivan by a hurried conversation. “What had we better do?” asked Bud at last. Ivan and Bud fired their guns and yelled. Soon all the men were there except Spud. “Where the deuce is Spud?” exclaimed Evert. “Damned funny,” remarked John Hall, “that he didn’t show up with all the shooting and yelling going on.” “That’s him yelling now!” exclaimed Ivan, sending an answer echoing through the hills. “That’s a hound,” corrected Hall. “Who’d be running hounds here?” “Old Wing,” answered Lee. “I sent him to clean out some of the bear. They’ve been getting away with too many calves lately.” “Funny about Spud not showing up,” mused Evert. “Ain’t that his horse?” asked Ivan, pointing to a white object among a small group of cedars on a ridge to the north. “Might be,” answered the foreman. “Let’s ride over there and see.” It was Spud’s horse all right. Spud’s chaps and spurs were near- by, but there was no sign of Spud. Again they fired their guns and yelled. While they were waiting for an answer. Bud told the story that he had told Ivan. Dell Salem interrupted the story. “You sure didn’t see me, Bud. I was riding up the second draw north of here, when I heard you and Ivan signal.” “I sure did see you!” exclaimed Bud. “I saw you just as plain as I see you now.” “All right: have it your way,” laughed Dell. Bud, followed by the others, rode down to the opening. Behind a rock was a small branding fire, which had been used to brand the calf that Bud had heard bawl. I Forty-lhroc] Ivan looked around. Suddenly he exclaimed. “There’s a hat!” The men rode over to it. It was a hat, and behind a scrub oak lay Spud. A bullet hole between his shoulder blades told how he had met his death. As they dismounted, Bud picked something up and showed it to the other men, then called to Dell, “This your knife, Dell?” Dell took the knife and said, “Thanks, Bud. Where did you find it?” “Right here,” answered Bud. “I thought you said I didn’t see you here?” Lee thought a minute, then said, “I reckon there’s only one thing to be done, boys. One of you go get the sheriff, while the rest of us pack poor Spud back to the Lazy F.” He put his hand on Dell's shoulder as he continued, “Shore sorry, Dell. We know you didn’t do it, but there’s so much agin you that I just have to send for the sheriff. I’ll get bond for you.” He looked a moment at the corpse, but turned quickly to the boys, as he heard a horse loping away, to ask, “Who’s that going after the sheriff?” Ivan swore, then answered, “Bud Wilson.” Bud made good time. The men had been at the ranch a little less than an hour when they saw three riders top the hill and turn down the road toward the Lazy F house. It was Bud and Sheriff Braden, accompanied by Mr. Williams, the owner of the ranch. Soon they were joined by another man, who had a pack of hounds follow- ing him. Johnson and Dell were sitting on the jx)rch steps gazing out over the range. Suddenly Johnson turned to Dell and asked, “Dell, why did you ask me to ride west this morning?” Dell answered, “Because Bud signaled to the J. O. I. that we were going east today.” “Signaled! How could he signal to them?” Dell answered, “His window faces west, toward the J. O. I. Every night at half past eight he would start making up his bed, which is under the window. Don’t you see? A man would watch from the hills above the J. O. I. They had the signals arranged. “I’ll be damned,” swore the foreman. “The dirty skunk! And him always making out like he wanted to blow the J. O. I. bunch up.” They were interrupted by Bud and the other three men. Wing was calling, “Howdy,” to the Lazy F men. Bud had a grin on his face as he pointed Dell out to the sheriff. None of the men had ever seen him look so happy, but still he wasn’t the only happy one, for the bear chaser was chuckling quietly to him- self. The sheriff started to walk toward Dell, but was stopped by Wing who called to him, “Just a minute, sheriff. I got a funny story to tell you.” The sheriff glanced at him, but obeyed. The hunter was known to be a level-headed man. Wing drew the sheriff away and told his funny story. At the end of it the listener slapped his knee, roared out a hearty laugh, and, chuckling, both men returned to the group. [Forty-four I Bud was chuckling, too, as he looked at Dell, but suddenly his chuckle stopped, and his face turned white. The sheriff had jerked Bud’s revolver out of its holster and snapped handcuffs on his wrists. The hunter yelled with delight, “Ain’t that the best yet! A man go after the sheriff to arrest himself!” Presently he quit laughing and explained, “I was chasing a bear in Dixie Canyon this morning. My hounds crossed a ridge that was too rough to follow on horse back, and by the time I got around, the hounds were out of hearing. I climbed up on a high peak and took my telescope to see if I could see anything of my pack. While I was looking for them, I noticed a branding fire. It was Openshaw of the J. 0. I., branding a Lazy F calf. While I was watching him, T saw Spud Lane and Bud Wilson sneaking up on foot, behind some brush. They looked at Openshaw a moment or two, and then Spud pulled his gun out of its holster, looked at it, and put it back. Bud pulled his out, and I thought he would do like Spud, but instead he shot Spud in the back. Bud yelled something at Openshaw, and he run hell-bent-for-election for his horse and rode toward the J. O. I. Bud dropped something, and then run for his horse. About that time I heard my hounds again, so I left. I came back here as soon as I got that bear to tell my story.” The men crowded around Dell, slapping him on the back and shaking his hands. When they withdrew, Mr. Williams said, “Mr. Salem, I certainly wasn’t expecting to see you here.” Dell laughed, “I thought I’d drop out here and look the outfit over. What do you think of it?” asked Williams. “Think vou’ll buv it?” “Sure will,” answered Dell. “At your figure it’s a bargain. Come in and I’ll give you a check.” All the men looked surprised, and Dell grinned. “I’ll tell you how it is, boys. I was raised on a big ranch in Nevada, but I always wanted to live in town and wear fine clothes. When my father died a little oyer a year ago, I sold the outfit and went to San Francisco. I stuck it out there about a year. It was sure hell. The people rushed by you all day without saying, “Howdy,” and no room to turn around without bumping your elbows. I finally got a deal on with Mr. Williams, so 1 thought I’d slip out and look things over, and talk with you boys. A fellow has to be careful if he puts all his money in one basket. Come on, Mr. Williams, and I’ll give you the check.” (Forty-five I THE CLOUD-BURST Vivian Willis, '26 PRIZE POEM Clouds, Black clouds, Mountains of threatening clouds.

St range Case of David BroekweU Frances Scoff. ’26 HONORABLE MENTION S a sea of restless bracken swallowed up the jerking stage- coach with its sleepy driver, a disturbing feeling of unreality fell upon me like a cloak, and, while I stood at the crossroads before it, my interest in my gloomy, old boyhood home, crouching there on the moor like a lone and hunted monster, turned to antipathy. “Lonesome out here now, I thought aloud, and my voice, cracking like a shot through the hungry silence, made me start. I wished fervently that I had not left the old coach, now rumbling away to friends and noises. I am not a nervous man; so far from that as to be known as one of the most placid old bachelor lawyers in London. Yet I dreaded entering that house as I shall hate to enter the portals of Death itself. A man can’t flinch from an enemy where he is not at all sure that one exists. So I marched up the grass-rimmed walk in the fad- ing twilight and grated the key in the rusted lock. As the movement of the creaking hinges left me staring into the dark, old hall, a slow chill swung up my spine and deluged my scalp. Fifteen years before, I had left the old place with no thought of ever returning, but, of late, I had been seized by a strange, yet insatiable, desire to sit in my old room and to prowl through the musty library as I had done when a boy. Now, something stood in the halhvay to meet me. I could see nothing but high ceilings and looming tapestries; yet it was there, crouching behind me and leering at me with some diabolic grimace. It seemed to fill the room, now on this side, now on that, as I turned nervously about. The dusty staircase was dim and steep, but I leaped up it with an agility that might well have astonished the stolid friends of my London life. The thing came too, drawing nearer as we climbed until, frightened, I ran the last few steps and locked myself securely within my own room. Whatever had pursued me was now outside in the hall, and I began to feel like myself again and was almost ready to laugh at my uneasiness. Striding to the barred window, I raised the pane, then stood for a moment, sniffing the cool mist. But I became more and more uncomfortable as I stayed, and finally turned toward the door for an explanation of my fear. I received one, for the heavy door, unchanged in outward appearance from that of a moment before, had suddenly taken life and was towering and looming over the room. Certain that my senses were giving way, I determined to conquer myself and, turning my back on the threatening portal, I strode to the shelf of books and clutched one at random, opening it as I did so. “The spirits of the deceased often haunt the place of their death or burial for hundreds of years after life, I read. My flesh froze and my whole being prickled with horror. I felt like a soldier beaten in a bloody battle, and, giving myself up to my fright, I turned again to the door. This time I shrieked aloud, for the door stood well ajar, and, as I watched, a small, yellow hand crept around the heavy panel to re- close it. I leaped forward and swung it open wide, but there I was forced to stop, for it was as though all the elements beat upon me and I struggled as against a great barrier. By the time I had fought through it, the thing, a dimly discerned form, was well down the hall and I had to run my fastest to keep in sight of it. Up and down staircases and through several hallways I followed, until it finally disappeared through an opening at the end of one of them. I rushed through it and felt the air beneath my feet. I do not know how far I fell through the dark, but the impact of landing must have been forceful, for it sent me into instant and deep unconsciousness. I awoke in an old cistern or well, bruised and sore, but with my oppression of the night before almost obliterated. A sickly greenish glow covered the straggling moss, making it seem more slimy and repulsive than it really was. On the floor near me lay a pale mound, but for several hours after my awakening the light was too dim to distinguish of what it was made. As daylight crept into the tomb, I found that the mound was nothing other than a pile of moldy, gray bones in the posture of a sitting human being. Moving over to the farthest side of the cistern from this weird cell-mate, for it seemed inevitable to me then that the pit was a grave for me as well, I stumbled upon a piece of heavy metal, half imbedded in the thick moss. It was square, and seemed to be a large, tarnished buckle from a shoe or hatband. All day between desperate attempts to scale the slippery, moss- covered walls I played with the buckle, passing it absently through my fingers while I tried to keep from staring through the dimness at that heap which was my companion. Toward evening my thirst and the frequent pangs of hunger began to flaunt my desperate posi- tion in my face with such insistence that I paced the cistern, mutter- ing and scratching at the walls like a caged beast. I swung about in search of an assailant and then stood as still as death, for the mound was moving. A blue haze enveloped it as the bones were slowly and silently knitting themselves into the form of an erect man, the hollow sockets of whose eyes emitted a thick white mist that fast spread around him. As the process completed itself, a slow, monoton- ous chant began from somewhere. “David Brockwell, you bear my name and you have come to share the tragedy that fell to me long ago in the hands of the fiend of Brockwell. But death has given powers that life lacked centuries ago. Come; I will help you.” Then the frenzy of rage came upon me again, and, like a madman, I leaped at the form and fell with it to the ground. Something from above struck me and I went into a faint. Why I should have assault- ed the thing I do not know, but, as my brain was fevered with hor- rors, it seemed I could stand no more. After feeling that I had slept but a moment, I found myself [Forty-eitrlitl standing hatless on the waving moor, my hair blowing in the brisk morning wind. The house was fully a mile and a half distant. I took the tarnished buckle from my pocket and, as I traveled toward the nearest village, painstakingly made out the inscription. “D. B.” it read. True, they were my own initials, but I at once recalled an uncle, several generations prior in our family, for whom I had been named. That other David Brockwell had disappeared from the house one night when he was in his late teens, and the family, never hear- ing from, him again, had believed that he had run away to sea to join one of the expeditions to the New World. When I told the sheriff my adventure, he looked at me strangely and suggested that a good breakfast might make me feel more fit. After I had eaten and displayed the buckle, we took a cab for the house. This time the front hall was really empty, and I mounted the stairway without a tremor of fear. But the door to my room was locked from the inside. We broke in and found everything just as I had left it, with the book on spiritualism, which had so unnerved me that night, lying open on the floor. Winding our way through the dusky halls and stairways, we came to the place where the thing had disappeared, only to find that no door existed. The wall was as thick and firm as any in the old castle. To my great chagrin, the sheriff began suddenly to humor me and seemed to be doing his best not to excite me further. But I paid no attention to him, for I was horrified. During that dreadful night, I had passed through a locked door and a stone wall fully a foot in thickness! We searched the whole house for a hallway for which I might have mistaken this one, but none contained a door. Nowhere inside the place or neighborhood could we find the cistern. An architect was rushed from London, but his search was no more fruitful than ours had been. He admitted that there might have been a door there centuries ago, but said that the conditions of the materials proved them to have been in place for a long time. A detective was called and was completely baffled, declaring that he did not believe I had been inside the house that night. He remained stubbornly silent when brought to face the book on the floor, the buckle, my traveling bag on the bed, and the fact that I was missing from civilization for two nights and a day. The sheriff said I had experienced nothing worse than a bad nightmare and had probably picked up the buckle in sleep-walking. If this is true, how did I escape from the locked room ? The window is all of one hundred feet from the ground below, and a small child could scarcely squeeze through its narrow width, for it was built centuries ago for protec- tion rather than for any idea of convenience or beauty. Yet I fell somewhere, as anyone who saw my purpled flesh will agree. Some believe me insane, and more than one private petition has been writ- ten to advise confining me as a likely homicidal maniac. I am in my right mind, but my profession is ruined. No one wants my sendees at law, and even my office staff has deserted me. I wander the busy streets or frequent my old clubs, where my friends speak to me pity- ingly, then quietly ignore me. I am desperate and shall end my life [Forty-nine] if some solution to the mystery does not soon place me as a member of the world to which I rightfully belong, though, even then, I shall be penniless, for the whole of my estate is being spent for detectives, who ponder and work and unearth nothing. THE SEASONS Laura Field. f28 HONORABLE MENTION In springtime, in the stringtime, I love to roam the hills And pick the yellow buttercups That grow by rippling rills. I love to hear the song of birds That skim the azure blue, And watch the flash of bright wings, And hear the wild doves coo. In summer, oh, in summer, The shade beneath the trees, The drowsy tune of insects. The busy hum of bees, The cattle standing sleepily, Knee deep in lazy stream, The sunshine, oh, the sunshine, Is like a golden dream. In autumn, in the autumn, The asters by the brook Are nodding and are bowing In their sunny, sheltered nook. The trees, in wondrous colors Of red and yellow dressed, Speak to me of happiness And all things I love best. In winter, oh, in winter, The sunlight’s flashing gleam On hill and dale in wonder clad And still and frozen stream, The branches standing stiff and gray,— I love them all. I could not say Which I would rather have to stay. SCHOOL YEAR The Som r Aj'f Wwooi Septem l er 8—School opens as per schedule. 10— Hey, let’s be locker partners this year! 11— Ten new teachers.

Was it any wonder that every eligible male member of the cast fell in love with the cook? Louise Jahant, as Olivia Dangerfield, did excel- lent work, and when it became necessary' to disguise herself as the cook, she won the hearts of the audi- ence. Arthur Bennett, as Burton Crane, the wealthy young Northerner, proved himself to be an excellent actor, as well as a charming lover. Karl Jack, in the role of Solon Tucker, was particularly true to life in the part of the amusing old lawyer, and Ted Weesner inter- preted well the part of the poet, Tom Lefferts. The character of Cora Falkner was splendidly portrayed by Elsie Neu- man, while Etta Figge as capably took the role of Mrs. Falkner, the ambitious society matron. The parts of Elizabeth Dangerfield, the impulsive daugh- ter of the family, and of Brindy, the younger son, who was house boy, were made very much alive by Frances Scott and Hugh Paddleford. Cedric Madi- son. as the butler, carried out his role in quite the approved fashion. The part of Amanda, the negro mammy, was creditably taken by Laura Lange. Marville McAlexander, as Randolph Weeks, proved himself quite able to bear the responsibility of being the Dangerfield lawyer. The success of the entire production was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Ida Rinn, as coach and director. I Sixty-five! Mass Gierryl: tlossom” A charming tea garden, an amusing proprietor, dainty geishas, and pretty American girls, all went to make this year’s operetta one of the prettiest and most entertaining ever presented in the high school auditorium. All of those students who took leading roles de- serve special mention. Veronica Perrin as Cherry blossom, and Orlin Woodson who played the part of John Henry Smith, a young Ameri- can millionaire, did excellent solo work and also gave several splendid duets. Willard Stewart characteristically played the part of Kokemo, Cherry’s foster father. Josephine Hunting as Jessica Vanderpool, and Harold Smith as Henry Jones made decided hits with their de- lightful duets. Edwin Tate portrayed well the part of Togo, a poli- tician of “exalted rank.’’ Lloyd Wakefield, as Worthington, a wealthy American, and Emil Loffelbein, his secretary, did excellent work in their minor roles. The whole performance reflected great credit on Elaine Haynes, the producer. The following girls were members of the Geisha chorus: Ella Bender, Irene Blakesley, Bessie Brinson, Althea Clark, Thelma Cath- cart, Lois Culbertson, Jennie Dotson, Dorothy Doty, Donez Eddelmon, Josephine Hunting, Alice Kerr, Dorothea Kinney, Beth Landback, Olga Locke, Marie Masui, Katharine Murphy, Edan Sharp, Beatrice Shipman, Ruth Stevens, Margaret Smithson, Alice Tate, Evelyn Thompson, Clara Wall, Alene Walker, Laura Weaver, and Winifred Woods. The following were members of the Boys’ chorus: Martin Dur- fey, August Hartman, Dean Hatch, William Johns, Emil Loffelbein, (sixty-sixi August Poser, Waldemar Woodson, Harold Smith, Lewis Smithson, Roland Schmierer, Theodore Schmierer, William Shipman, Elton Wallis, Frederick Witt, and Frank Wirtz. if]ie Charm School77 The senior play, presented on June 4, lived up to all expectations and was a decided success.

Shah espe rian Contest During February, through a series of try-outs, the following ten students were chosen from the three upper classes to deliver selec- tions from Shakespeare before the assembly: Karl Jack, Waldemar Jacobsen, Louise Jahant, Cedric Madison, Elsie Neumann, Louis Pitto, Dorothy Rich, Willard Stewart, Edwin Tate, Elizabeth Thomas. Of these ten, Elizabeth Thomas and Willard Stewart were picked to represent Lodi High in Berkeley. In the preliminary try-outs on March 27. both of the Lodi repre- sentatives were chosen to speak in the finals held in the Greek Theatre. In these, Willard Stewart placed third for boys in Class B, and Elizabeth Thomas placed third for girls in Class B. [Slxty-Mven] fSlxty-eiKht) Statin of Liberty M' M; v?r %••.% •« ■ ...-•. Ip� L??Aii: SSsSN Agricultura! Clui The Agriculture Club, composed of the students taking the Smith- Hughes courses in Agriculture, has completed one of its most suc- cessful years since the course was organized seven years ago, partly because of the large enrollment and partly because of the unusual successes of its judging team. Forty-one students registered for the courses this year, with eight new students starting the second sem- ester. This is the largest enrollment the course has ever had. The judging teams made a record that will stand for some years as a phenomenal achievement. Eight trophy cups were brought back to Lodi as the results of successful judging. The winning of the state championship in livestock judging, which Lodi accomplished, is the highest honor that the agricultural department of a California high school can achieve. FAIR EXHIBITS The Agricultural Club had a small exhibit at the State Fair and received seventeen dollars in cash premiums. In the Junior Division of the State Fair Lodi took ninth place in competition with thirty other schools. The purpose of the exhibits is to show the public what the high schools are doing in agriculture. fSoventy-onc} JUDGING CONTEST The State Fair which was held in September had a state con- test, and here Lodi took third place, which qualified the team to meet the twelve best schools of the state for the State Championship. The boys on the team were Lesle Stine, Willard Beckman, and Lindsay Jewett. The final contest was held in October at the Davis Farm, where the Lodi team took all honors and was announced as the State Cham- pion Live Stock Judging Team for 1925-26. Leslie Stine was the high man of the contest, with Lane and Jewett placing fifth and sixth. The winning of the state finals qualified Lodi to represent Cali- fornia at the Pacific International Livestock Show, held at Portland, and the International Livestock Show, held at Chicago. The team won second place at Portland, with thirty-four schools from five States competing. On November 28, at Chicago, tenth place was won, with twenty schools competing. f Seventy-two] GIRLS’ LEAGUE The Girls’ League, which was organized last October, has become a real force in student body activities. It has fulfilled its purpose in promoting good will and sportsmanship among the girls. It has helped to develop school spirit through selling the school colors for foot-ball games. A tea was given to teach the girls poise and grace in social gatherings. The league programs and meetings have been carried out almost entirely by the girls themselves. Thus a great deal of initiative has been developed. The year has been a very successful one for the League, and it owes much of its success to the help and advice of the dean of girls, Miss Holm, assisted by Miss Haglund. Much credit is also due the officers for the past year, who were: President..........................Elsie Neumann Vice President..................Beatrice Shipman Secretary .....................................Ada Keagle Treasurer....................................Viola Ulmer I Seventy-three] BAND AND ORCI 1ESTRA This year the Band and Orchestra were re-organized under the leadership of Mr. Reverda L. Cross. Very few of the members of either organization had ever played an instrument of any kind before entering this year’s classes. Both organizations played before the morning assemblies, giving miniature concerts and getting practice by them. Remarkable pro- gress has been made when the time put in is considered. During this year red lyre “L’s” were given the members of both Band and Orchestra. The first public appearance of the Orchestra was before the Men’s Club of the Methodist Church early in the fall, while the Band made its debut at the Modesto-Lodi football game. Later it played for nearly all of the games, on one occasion going to Sacramento. I'8eventy-fou i 1 The big event for the year was the program furnished by the Band and Orchestra on March 24th. This showed their progress from the beginners’ music to classical and standard professional music. The program contained, “Princess of India Overture,” ‘‘Bo- hemian Girl,” ‘‘Kieper's Overture Radiant,” and many other classical numbers in march and waltz time. (Seventy-five] The min$trs $ Physics class relaxes [Seventy-sis ] ATHLETICS Football Statue Uni lenity of Califm • FOOTBALL Several days after school started a call for football candidates was issued, and the next night about forty-five men responded. There were six veterans left from last year’s team: Michels, Pitto, Lane, Nelson, Wallis, Fetzer, and Pickering. Around these Coach Hole had to build a team. There were many other men, some green and not drilled in the fundamentals of the game, while others had played on last year’s second team and received some experience. This is a list of the un- seasoned players from whom men were picked to fill the holes left by last year’s graduating veterans: R. Adams, W. Beckman, J. Gouldh, A. Gatzert, A. Gillespie, W. Gannon, H. Hesseltine, J. Happe, L. Jewett, D. Lassell, O. Pope, W. Seimering. H. Smith, R. Fuller, R. Heinitz, R. LaPorte, W. Montgomery, H. Martin, J. Paddleford, A. Thomas, H. Wakefield, I. Wakefield, O. Coleman, C. Courtney, T. Donadio, G. Engel, C. Fields, I. Funamura, V. Hendel. The Flames had an unusually hard league schedule to play this year, besides some hard practice games, which were necessary to give the men experience under fire. The season started with a victory. Then the Flames went through the schedule winning all their games until the big game of the year with Stockton. The Tarzans had also lost one game, and when they defeated Lodi the two teams were tied. Hence, there was no championship team in this section in 1925. OCTOBER 10—LODI, 26; CHICO, 12 The first game of the season was taken by the Fighting Flames, who showed improvement due to hard work. Chico had beaten Sacra- mento and Lodi thought this team would give the Flames a good battle, but the game resulted in an easy victory for the locals. The game was fast and hard fought. Lane made three of Lodi’s touch- downs and Pitto one. OCTOBER 16— LODI, 13; PACIFIC SECONDS, 0 The first half of the game was a poor exhibition of football, as both teams played a very ragged game. When the half ended neither team had scored. The Flames came back in the second half and played real football, which resulted in two touchdowns, both made by Speed Lane. OCTOBER 24—LODI, 7; TURLOCK, 0 The Flames took the first league game of the season by defeat- ing Turlock in a very poor exhibition of football. The Flames showed good defense by holding their adversary for downs on the one yard line several times and once on the six-inch line. The offense of the Flames was very ragged. The only score was made by a fifteen yard pass to Lane, who ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. OCTOBER 30—LODI, 12; WOODLAND, 6 In the second league game of the season the Flames went into the fray with more fight and snap and took the game by a twelve to [Seven ty-ninel six score. The Flames had no easy walk away, for the Woodland Wolves had a clever and snappy little team. In the last quarter the Wolves threatened Lodi’s lead by starting an aerial attack which nearly resulted in a tie score, but the gun went off too quickly for them. The game was very interesting and full of thrills. The touch- downs were made by “Power House’’ Pitto. NOVEMBER 7—LODI, 7; MODESTO, 0 The game was very close and full of fight. Each team had a good defense and was able to hold the other from making many long gains. At the end of the half neither team had scored, but when the F'lames came out on the field after the intermission, things were different. They went down the field on the jump, and Joe Pitto took the ball over the goal line for the only score of the game. NOVEMBER 14—LODI, 28; SACRAMENTO, 6. Sacramento got the jump on Lodi and made a touchdown the first few minutes of play. After this the Flames started to fight, played rings around the Governors, and piled up four touchdowns. One was Donadio’s: three were Pitto’s. NOVEMBER 2 -LODI, 13; STOCKTON, 19 For the first time in four years the Fighting Flames took a beating from the old rival, Stockton. The teams were very evenly matched, but the Tarzans knew how to take advantage of the breaks and that is what won the game. All but two of the scores were due to fumbles. The Lodi touchdowns were made by Pitto and Gatzert, [Eighty] the latter of whom made a ninety yard run the final stage of the game. On November 30, Bill Seimering, Lodi’s star center, was elected Captain, by the members of the team. Bill is a capable man and will make the 1926 grid season a succesful one. Second T cam The Lodi second team was a very important factor in the de- velopment of the first squad. Their doggedness and determination to keep fighting after being buffeted and knocked around by the bigger boys was very helpful to the first team. They also had a schedule of their own and won most of their games. Their first game with Galt resulted in a smashing victory for the Reds by a 45-0 score. The Cubs showed up pretty well in this game and played a good brand of football. Donadio, who was later shifted to the first squad, invaded the enemy’s goal line five times. The next victim was the Courtland team, which was defeated by 6-0 score. The locals played poor football in this game and barely won the game. The score was made on a pass to Paddleford, who ran 80 yards for a touchdown. Stockton defeated the Reds in their next game by three touchdowns, all made in the first half. In the last period the locals threatened to score several times but could not put it over. Before the end of the season the Cubs won another easy victory from the Milkmaids, but they lost the Jackson game, as the mountain boys proved too sturdy for the F'lamelets and defeated them by two touchdowns. I Highly-one | .Basket Ball A new basket ball team had to be developed by Coach Hole, as only one veteran remained from last year’s team, “Slicker” Wallis. The coaches, Hole and Conklin, picked a young bunch so they would have the same men to work with next year. Following is the line-up: Wallis, Gatzert, Donadio, Gannon, La Porte, Adams, Moore, Craw- ford, Burson, Vert, Rankin, Thomas, Reeks, Rinn, Zimbleman, Burk- s taller. JANUARY 12—LODI, 41; WOODLAND, 19 The Flames took the first league game of the season, smothering the Woodland quintet by a large score. The short, fast passing of the Locals proved too much for the more slow-moving Woodland five. The Wolves tried hard to play a five-man defense, hut it was soon shattered by the Flames’ floor work. The high point man for Lodi was Wallis, with fourteen points to his credit. JANUARY 16— LODI, 28; WOODLAND, 23 The Woodland five used a better-laid defense in this game, which made it hard for the locals to penetrate the tightly-woven net to get under the basket. The Flames rang up 28 points, but they had a hard fight to get them. Wallis was again high point man, with twelve points to his credit. JANUARY 23—LODI, 21; SACRAMENTO, 25 Although the Flames were beaten in this game it was hard to ['Eighty-two) tell which team was the better. The contest was much closer and faster than the score indicates. It was a very good exhibition of basket ball with many pretty shots made by the players on both sides. Tony was the high point man in this game, with eleven points. JANUARY 30— LODI, 19; STOCKTON. 36 The Stockton Tarzans were far superior in floor-work and basket shooting and deserve full credit. The Flames put up a good fight, but were outclassed by their speedy rivals. Sweet, Stockton’s star forward, went wild and made eighteen points for his team. Wallis was high man for Lodi, with eight points. FEBRUARY 8—LODI, 2«; GALT, 21 The Flames defeated the Milkmaids in a very fast game. The locals were superior in floor work, while Galt put up a stiff opposition in hitting the bucket. The high point man for Lodi was Gatzert, with twelve points. FEBRUARY 15—LODI, 22; GALT, 12 In a good exhibition of floor and basket shooting the Flames overcame the fast Galt five. The two teams were very evenly matched, but the Flames steadily drew ahead of the Milkers and nearly doubled the score. Donadio was high point man, with seven points. FEBRUARY 22—LODI. 15; SACRAMENTO. 14 The game was very close and fast. The Flames, in the first de- partment of the game, established a lead and were never headed, but were tied several times. Both teams were fighting hard for the lead f Eijfhty-throe] but were stopped by the final crack of the gun and Lodi was the victor by one point. Wallis was high point man, with eight points. FEBRUARY 26—LODI. 26; STOCKTON, 14 For the first time in nine years the Fighting Flames defeated the Stockton Tarzans on their own floor. In the first quarter the Flames established a small lead and were neither headed nor tied throughout the entire game. The locals gradually drew away from their rivals and nearly doubled the score. The high point man for the Flames was Bill Siemering, with ten points. The 1926 Track Team did very well, considering that it had had so little practice and that it was the first year anything had been done in this sport. The Flames won both practice meets and the fifth place in the C. I. F. meet. 100 yard dash, Class A—Wallis, Pickering; Class B—Donadio, Hudson, Boynton; 220 yards—Wallis, Pickering; 4-40 yards—Poser, Funamora; 880 yards—Paddleford: Mile—Paddleford; High Jump, Class A—Madison; Class B—Donadio, Boynton; Broad Jump, Class A—Wallis, Madison, Funamora; Class B—Donadio, Hudson, Boynton; Shot Put—Gannon, Pope, Siemering; Discus—Pope, Siemering; Jave- lin—Madison, Vert.

After a few weeks of this, tryouts for the team were held. On Saturday, March 20, the following went to Stockton to compete against the Blues: Moore, Paddleford, Madison. Jones, Woodworth, Perrott, and Katherine Murphy. The Tarzans took the first three matches and Lodi the rest, tying the score. Katherine Murphy lost to her opponent, Jean Rule. The Modesto team also wanted a match. They wanted four singles and two doubles, so the first four men went to Modesto. After a hard afternoon of playing, the Panthers had won a straight match. This was the first time for several years that the girls have had tennis as a sport in the Pentathlon series. The ladder arrangement was used to determine the three best players in each class. For the third time the seniors were successful in winning a first place and in adding another thirty points to their Pentathlon score. K. Murphy had no trouble in defeating her opponents in singles. In doubles V. Ulmer and L. Lange topped the ladder for the seniors. The freshmen came second in the singles and were represented by E. Henning and R. Weyand. M. Chaplin came third in doubles. A. Buttle gained third place in singles for the juniors. How- ever. V. Kenefick and R. Stevens followed the seniors in doubles. M. Almond, a sophomore, held fourth place in singles. (F.l hty- ixl Girls’ Atiiletics June 4th marked the close of the fifth successful Pentathlon contest. This year showed the girl athletes full of enthusiasm and interest. Girls’ athletics ran like a well greased machine. This was made possible by an organized schedule which Viola Ulmer, athletic manager, arranged. This year a plan was adopted by which any girl who desires an L can easily win one, providing she starts in her freshman year with the right attitude. Every time a girl plays in a game she receives a certain number of points. In order to determine one’s points at any specific time, individual scoring charts are kept. Those receiving three hundred points are awarded an “L,” while stars are given for every additional three hundred points. VOLLEY BALL On October 8th great excitement was created in the girls’ gym when the seniors and sophomores were victors in the interclass volley ball contests. First the seniors and juniors displayed their volley ball ability. This game was about evenly matched—the score re- maining 14 to 14 for several services. Then, came a thrill, and vic- tory to the seniors ,when their 14 changed to 15. In the second game the juniors were outplayed by the seniors, the score ending at 15 to 2. On the same Thursday evening the sophomores and freshmen set forth an interesting game. After a short battle, the sophomores I Bl hti'-scvenl won by a score of 15 to 12. However, in the next game the fresh- men came back with still greater determination and managed to acquire a score of 15 to 9 for themselves. Once again the teams clashed. The result favored the sophomores 15 to 10. On October 13th the juniors and freshmen played. The juniors won the first game by the score of 15-8. In the next game the freshmen improved their offensive, but were defeated 15-14. On Thursday the seniors and sophomores played for first place. The first game ended 15 to 12 in favor of the class of ’26. The next game also the sophs failed to win. The score closed at 15 to 9. On October 15 the sophomores and juniors displayed their final volley ball ability. The sophomores were no match for the sturdy juniors. The first game ended 15-4 and the second one 15-7.

The new “gym” instructor, Miss Haglund, refereed the games, while Miss Holm made comments from the side line. The captains for the individual teams were not selected until the last practice game previous to the first scheduled game. On November 24 the basketball contest opened with the juniors and seniors on the floor. This game started with a bang and con- tinued to be exciting until the very last. Although the score showed a decided victory for the seniors, still they could not slack up for one minute. Part of the seniors’ success was due to the fact that their forwards remembered their centers and used them when in a close pinch. They, also, exceeded their opponents in team work. The score was 10 to 31. On December 1 the second basket ball game of the Pentathlon League was fought between the sophomores and freshmen. The sophs, having more experience, easily defeated their opponents by the score of 7 to 14. Just two days later the two losers, freshmen and juniors, played. Here again the freshmen met their Waterloo with a score of 10-21. On December 8 there came another victory for the sophomores when they “wrestled” the juniors to the score of 16-6. It was on the eleventh of December that the last game was played. This proved to be the most important in the eyes of the seniors when they walked off the floor with first place. This was the most exciting game of the season, for the score constantly teetered from one side to the other. At the last of the third quarter the sophomores’ victorious score graduallv faded. The seniors won—20 to 15. Basket Ball Lineups: SENIORS: Capt. C. Brubaker F., Ulmer F., H. Johnson G., M. Coe G., L. Berryman S. C., I. Johnson C. (subs) E. Channel, E. Neu- man, D. Blakesley.

Chemistry students have devised a way for people to reduce. All that you have to do Is to take a bath In a liquid air well.

He's made of ears and dynamite His feet are of bricks, battering rams, and things Sometimes ho acts as though he is full of springs. He stands around with sleepy eye. And looks as if he'd like to die. But when there’s any dying to be done, It ain’t the mulo. I bet a bun. He’s fat as any poison pup. But it’s Just his meanness that swells him up. He has a lovely voice to sing And when he lets It loose at noon It sounds like a buzz-saw out of tune. [One Hundred Sixty-seven] COMPLIMENTS of W. J.
