f LODI HIGH FROM THE AIR Ira N. Crose In appreciation for his many years of faithful service to the school and the student body, this book is dedi cated. SOUTH ARCADE Contents___ v‘Cfl t 33€3 tdbuoioga jftthldbcs sARLESS, brave, struggling heroes, span- ning the air trails----over oceans, across burning deserts, high above mountain ranges, through rain and snow---------conquering the forces of nature; such arc the men who have figured in man's successful “Conquest of the Air.” Ever since the Wright Brothers sailed their first motor-driven plane at Kitty-Hawk, man has struggled to conquer the opposition he has faced. This spirit sweeping over the nation today has ushered in an era of progress never to be forgotten in the history of the world. Air mail and transport lines piloted through snow and sleet, through rain or shine, by day and night travel the air paths as man intrepidly pushes back all obstacles in his advance. Symbolic of this spirit of adanccment against opposition, the staff has this year chosen “The Conquest of the Air” as the theme for the 1929 Tokay. With this as the motif, they have endeavored to give in this volume an interesting record of the activities of Lodi Union High School for the year 1928-’29. In Memoriam ,iHr0. jailer joiner (Jrarlirr uf CmUiiili Cois (Claim uf 1 1311 “Another sun shines there! Another moon. Another light, not dusk, nor daum, nor noon. And they who once beholding come no more They have attained My peace-life’s utmost boon.” The Song Celestial I lie Dawn Patrol The airdrome looks awesome in its blanket of early dawn. The shadows of hangars and buildings look like gruesome monsters of old. The mumbling roar of motors mixed with an occasional scream of a shell! And the great winged birds are as silent as their masters. The intervals of semi-silence arc broken by the harsh muttering of mechanics. A cold motor coughs into life, then breaks into a mighty song of triumph! A commander’s terse instructions, a curse, a jest, a prayer, in rapid succession, A mighty roar of motors, a cloud of dust, they are off! The Dawn Patrol goes to salute the rising sun. Flaming youth takes its fling at death among the roar of mighty motors, and the screams of falling planes. A triumphant shout, or bitter curse as a pal goes down in flames! Revenge, an insane laugh, a world seen through bloodshot eyes! r , THE FACULTY a FacultyM 1 £ William Inch, A. B., University of Southern California.Principal M.

A flash out of the darkness drear, Is sending signals thru’ the night To passing planes in courses near. A beacon guiding on their way The planes and pilots lost in clouds, Shut off from earth and light of day, Into their lone and dusty shrouds. Wings that never tire of flight, Always moving out of sight, Never lingering on the way, Never stopping just a day. For of flying wings arc fond. Flying to the great beyond. Never slacking of their pace, Until they reach the destined place. Wings that fly the whole world thru’ Never wonder what to do. Never start before they know, Where on earth they are to go. Wings that fly through rain and shine, Wings that really are divine, Wings that never note the time,----- How I wish that they were mine! Anna Scibel Thirty-one Thirty-two THE SENIOR A'� Senior A Class History AFTER sailing successfully through many storms and blizzards, the senior A class, graduating in February, 1930, is now the smallest in the school. Many of the class members have been compelled to make forced landings or their speed of flight has been either accelerated or retarded. Nevertheless, a fine class remains. Among their number are football and basket- ball stars, last year’s track captain, leaders in all branches of school activities, and students, high in scholastic standing. Since their entrance into this field of adventure, back in 1926, they have been doing their utmost to carry high the colors of the Lodi Union High School. They have been striving upwards, always, for the best things in life. In all they claim to be the most loyal class in the school. HELEN MONDAVI Thirty-three Jnoj-X)i| 4X THE JUNIORS ' KIunior Class History President Vice-President Sec re t a ry-Trea su re r Class Representative Helen Schaffner Leona McLachland Elizabeth Granlees Cecilia Perrin HAVING finished the third hop of their flight and passed the third beacon, the juniors have only one more short hop to complete the flight to their goal, graduation. Helen Schaffner was flight commander this year, and Leona McLachland was her assistant. Elizabeth Granlees kept the financial record, and Cecilia Perrin was squadron representative in stu- dent body meetings. Next year Gerald Strobridge will commandeer the football squad, while Ernie Werner, Russell Burnett and Ed Obcrlandcr will assist in making the season a success. So far the junior plane has weathered every storm and in another year she will be resting peacefully in her home hangar while the Class of ’30 change planes to sail to various other ports. —MARION LASELL. Thirty-five xi� -A)iim THE SOPHOMORES Class History President Vice-President Sec re t a ry -Treasu re r Class Representative Clifford Gatzcrt Catherine Holt Alice Stabbcrt Elizabeth DeVinny THE Class of '31 entered Lodi High 115 strong. Some have come and some have gone, but 135 now boast of sophomore sophistication. How has it been accomplished? In football the class offers some good material that bids fair to star in the future. Five sopho- mores earned circle “L's,” while several others were awarded block “L's.” The sophomore girls won first place in volley ball and second place in both tennis doubles and hockey. Although there were no outstanding play- ers, the sophomores were recognized for their good teamwork. In February the class presented a very success- ful comedy, “Officer 666,” with Malcolm Graham and Ernie Walth heading a strong cast. Let us hope that each succeeding year adds accomplishments which will make of us seniors who will be a credit to our alma mater. —CATHERINE HOLT. Thirty-seven msp-xuiMi THE FKESHMEN Freshman S Class History President—First Semester Second Semester Vice-President Secretary Class Representative Paul McClure Chester Watson Evelyn Pope Edna McKindley Charles Crete LAST semester a great army of small planes filled with young and inexperienced passengers and crew made their way toward the Lodi Union High School hangar. The squadron finally made a suc- cessful landing and after electing officers at the first of the school year, they proceeded to make them- selves acquainted with the school and its customs. Several freshmen boys were successful in making the first and second football squads, while basket- ball claimed a still larger number. The freshman basketball team participating in the interclass con- tests showed several promising stars for future seasons. The track team also claimed a large group of freshman boys, as did swimming. This shows that the freshmen entered the new field with spirits high and with success as their goal. The girls have won honors repeatedly, besides winning the school hockey title with the help of the junior team. Several members of the class were on the honor roll at the end of the year, and in all, the freshmen think that they are much better equipped to pilot their own planes now than they were at the first of the year.

Sixty- six was a scout squadron flying S. E. 5’s from an airdrome near St. Couer. It was made up chiefly of Americans, who had come over to English training camps with a greater number of hours in the air to their credit than many a Royal Flying Corps man had run up after months of active service. They were expert fliers, and had been trained in aerial combat by no less a cham- pion of the air than Macrcady, the premier ace of the British forces, who had selected them with infinite care. The pilots of Sixty-six frankly wor- shipped Conrad, a recruit in their squadron, who had become an ace. They felt that their squadron was rivaled by no other on the western front. Then Macrcady had transferred Conrad to England to command a squad- ron of his own, and he himself had gone to Paris in obedience to orders from Foch. The officers of Sixty-six were foregathered to consider the problem of who would take Conrad's place. Wilson, the lanky tow-headed lad from Missouri, was pessimistic. “You ask me.” he said, “and I’d say this war ain’t all it's cracked up to be. Conrad is a darn good scout, but you can’t count on getting many more like him. 1 hear that some of these British recruits arc humdingers for bravery, though.” “But washouts for flying,” cried Dcnby. “We’ve got to sec that we get the right man.” Wilson gazed upon his brother officer with a slight but humorous smile. “Sure, send for a book of samples,” he drawled. Denby fired up. He was hair-triggered, reckless, impulsive, and proud. He lived on nerve and attacked the war with a colossal ambition and dare- devil bravery. “We've one of the best squadrons in France, now, and the man who joins Sixty-six has got to be of the finest they've got,” he exclaimed, his eyes flashing with excitement. “How about Bishop, or Mannock, or McCudden?” asked Stevens, sar- castically. “That's the stuff!” cried Denby, missing the sarcasm in his fervor. “Leave it to Denby!” joined Morton. “He’s right. Let ’em know up at headquarters that we rate the best recruits in the Flying Corps. There's not a man in this outfit who can’t fly circles around the general run of them.” “Now,” reiterated Wilson, “you’re all getting a bit excited. As I see it. we've just been lucky in getting Macrcady in the first place. He just picked us up because we happened to be the first over from the States. He made Conrad and all of us what we are now, and he can make any other recruit who joins Sixty-six. You can’t tell me there aren’t lots more just as good coming along all the time. Since we've been over here, we've had a lot of tall combat practice, and we’ve been taught to save our skins and get our man at the same time. But you fellows don’t seem to remember everything Macrcady set out to teach us, by a long sight. You seem to have forgotten the most important thing we might have learned.” “All right, professor, get right up and tell the little boys all about it,” Forty-one sang out Morton. All this without a trace of malice, for, after three weeks at the front malice does not exist among men who expect to die together. “It’s like this,” continued Wilson. “You fellows seem to feel we’re pretty good; that we’ve got the edge on most every aviator who ever flew in France. That’s because we've been getting away with murder on every trip over the lines that Macready has led. Whenever we’ve met a German, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing him shake his rattle at us, and fly home like a streak of greased lightning. All the planes we ever brought down were herded up for us by Macready. All right. Now, what we’ve learned from that seems to be that we’re a pretty hot crowd of airmen. Not so?” “Say, Wilson, where'd you find the anvil?” It was Denby rising in protest; and Morton backed him. “Denby’s right, Wilson. You sound like the last cab horse.” “Well, wait a minute,” drawled Wilson. “What I’ve said is just facts. That’s all we seem to have learned. Now, I’m going to tell you what we ought to have learned. Macready tried hard to get it into our heads that we weren’t getting any real war at all. The Germans knew just as well as we did that Conrad and Macready, Conrad especially, were up in this part of the line, and so they didn’t show fight. If you go shooting off all this crack-squadron stuff at headquarters, they’ll laugh at you. The thing for us to do is to take the man they give us. If we rate it, we’ll get a real good recruit, and if Macready puts on the report that I think he will, we’ll rate it.” Thereupon strife broke loose in the disheveled parlor of the chateau that was Sixty-six’s headquarters. Denby and Morton protested hotly against Wilson’s policy of modest waiting, but. in the end, Wilson won out, and the trip to headquarters that Denby and Morton had planned was voted down. Squadron Sixty-six decided to wait for whatever man might be appointed to join them, and Denby, Morton and Company heatedly prophe- sied the worst. “Just wait,” said Denby, his black eyes smouldering. “We’ll be given one of your armchair fliers with a monocle in his eye, and be the laughing stock of the Flying Corps.” “Or we’ll get a hard-boiled recruit and have to walk on tiptoe, so as not to disturb him—and die before breakfast,” grumbled Morton. Three days after Conrad had gone his way, and Macready had not returned, the officers of Sixty-six were disturbed in their unaccustomed leisure by the appearance in the skies above them of a new and glittering S. E. 5. It came thundering across the hangars and turned into the wind at the lee side of the field to make its landing, but it turned in too quickly, so that it could not land without overshooting the ’drome. “A rookie,” snapped Denby, excitedly. “That kid needs another ten hours.” “Gosh, what a turn!” criticised Stevens, as the unfortunate pilot opened his throttle and skidded in a flat turn about the hangars.” Again, the visitor turned, this time with more room than he needed. He shut off his motor and glided in toward the air-drome. Apparently seeing that he could not make it, he nosed up. “He's going to stall her!” gasped Denby. “Oh-h-h!” Wilson slowly let his breath escape as he saw the pilot open his throttle and spurt forward in a burst of speed. “Bet it’s that new recruit for us,” cried Denby disgustedly. “That’s the stuff they’ll give us now that Conrad’s gone. Look at that!” He snorted with disgust as the newcomer shut off his gas, put down his Forty-two nose, and plunged with startling speed toward the earth. Then he pulled up, and the trim little machine dipped and rose and dipped again in a scries of hops that varied from three to five feet above the ground. The machine at last lost flying power and landed with a bump upon its wheels; and then it came to rest in a series of bounces and jolts that quickly changed to the lumbering pace at which its pilot taxied it toward the tarmac. When the pilot alighted from his beautiful but abused little aircraft, he found himself surrounded by the grinning members of Squadron Sixty-six, who regarded him with sardonic, but not unfriendly, curiosity. To their surprise, he was not a mere kid at all. Instead, he was a young man whose countenance possessed that singular dignity which marked the faces of most men who had seen a great deal of the war. He was taller than common, and fair, having brows and lashes that, catching the sunlight, glittered yellow. The officers of Sixty-six hesitated in their greeting, for they had been prepared to tease good-naturedly an untried kid. Instead, they found them- selves confronting a veteran. Intuitively they sensed that at once. An appalling thought occurred to Denby, and the newcomer immediately veri- fied it by his first words addressed to the men of Sixty-six. “My name is Gordon. 1 have come to take Phil Conrad’s place on the squadron. I shall be your commander, too, for the time being, until Major Macready returns.” That was the afternoon when Carruthers, in the parlance of the Flying Corps, killed himself.” With Denby, he went up to lead a wild game of follow-the-leader about the hangars, trees, and buildings that surrounded the airdrome, and, while turning over for a second loop in his flight, the wings snapped off and the plane fell to the earth a heap of smoking, death- dealing wreckage. Major Gordon saw the death of Carruthers through the windows of the orderly house and gazed upon the scene with a thoughtful and melancholy gaze. Before evening there was posted in squadrons’ orders a command that there would be no stunting at the airdrome except by order. “It’s training school all over again!” exclaimed Stevens indignantly as he entered the mess hall. “This guy isn’t a fighting man—lie’s a kinder- garten teacher!” “He probably thinks a man is more useful before than after stunting,” drawled Wilson. “How are we going to fight if we can’t stunt?” cried Denby thickly. “You’d better talk down, Wilson. If you hadn’t horned in. we’d have got a good man instead of this-----,” he paused for an adequate word------“this ground hog!” “Give him a chance,” said Wilson. “We haven’t seen him in action yet.” “And never will, I’ll bet!” sneered Denby. He reminded Wilson of that later the next morning-------as a matter of fact, while they waited for dinner. They had come back from their first patrol with Gordon. “Defensive patrol,” the orders had read. Gordon had been the last man to get into his machine that morning. The rest of the squadron were out tuning up their engines before he came out of the orderly room and strode over to his bright new plane. He exam- ined the plane very carefully before he climbed into the cockpit, while Denby, in the plane beside him, with that high tension with which he faced every perilous action, watched him. “Aw climb in-----it won't bite you!” Denby murmured under his breath; and he noticed with narrow eyes all those indications of hesitation and rcluc- Forty-thrce tancc that he had seen before in cadets who had failed to gain their wings. “The man’s yellow,” he repeated to himself bitterly. “Yellow! Yellow! Yellow!” Denby kept repeating while his hand trembled on the stick and he longed to get off the ground and into action. “What luck!!” Then they were off. Up and over the lines they went, to sweep about in curves that Gordon, oddly enough, made more neatly and sharply as he maneuvered into higher altitudes. It was a defensive patrol, a flight to patrol the lines to see that no enemy machines crossed over or operated to military advantage above the lines, not one to invade enemy territory and destroy enemy planes. However, defensive or offensive, that meant nothing t« Denby, Morton and Company. To them, every flight over the lines meant searching for trouble—hunting out the enemy and bringing down as many German planes as they could. So, when Denby saw far to the eastward a formation of German scouts, he expected Gordon to fly upon the enemy. Gordon did nothing of the sort. “He saw them all right,” Denby afterwards declared vehemently. “That’s why he turned. He got cold feet! I tell you, he’s yellow clean through!” The evidence bore him out, and Wilson could say nothing to defend this new temporary commander. To be sure, Gordon had kept on his way, until the sun was in his face and the wind gave him a slight drift toward the enemy, and then he turned his squadron directly at the German formation. The enemy had fled. Faced bv superior numbers, which they believed were led by the deadly Conrad and Macready, the Germans turned homeward. Denby put the question hotly to his fellows. Had Gordon followed? No! Assured of his own safety, as Denby insinuated, he had led his squadron back to its patrol of the lines. Then, they had flown back to the airdrome. Here, Gordon, attempting to land, turned too sharply and pancaked. Denby, on his own initiative, led the squadron again around the 'drome and landed in good form. Gordon's face was exceedingly white and his eyes were grave as he climbed from the wreckage of his plane, which was heaped in the center of the green. He wandered over to the tarmac where Denby was climbing out of his plane. “Thanks, Denby,” he said quietly. “We’d have lost some machines, I’m afraid, if they’d followed me down.” Then as Denby turned away. “By the way, Denby------, never leave a formation on an impulse.” Denby had started in pursuit of the Germans during the patrol. “When wings orders call for defensive patrol, you must remember that they’re counting on you to be there.” Denby had stared at him for a moment in dumb indignation. Then he hurried off to give vent to his rage in the privacy of his quarters. “The rotten slacker had the nerve to bawl me out for leading off after those Germans!” he snorted. He said nothing of Gordon’s explanation, for he sensed that he might spoil the point he would make against Wilson. “He can’t fly, and lie won’t fight! He’s so yellow that he botches his landings like a kid on a solo flight. He’s rank clear through!” Others agreed with him, but Wilson merely frowned at the ragged carpet. I don’t know,” he drawled. “There's something about this Gordon that does not stock up with the appraisal you’re making.” “The only thing about him that I can see,” rejoined Stevens, “is that he looks like a man, but he can’t deliver the goods.” Forty-four There was a silence, and Wilson could not fill it. “Don’t stick up for him just because you feel responsible for his coming here,” remarked Denby. Wilson walked off across the airdrome with the phrase ringing in his cars. He was thinking that Denby might have spoken more truly than he had intended. He had heard a great deal about the pleasant, cautious gen- tlemen who gained their wings and commissions without ever learning to fly ----the “armchair” fliers who seldom got to the front--------and Gordon, it seemed, lived up to all the specifications. He saw the bright orange and green fuselage of his own dainty plane standing outside the hangars and strolled over to sec why it should be out on the tarmac. He found Gordon standing beside it. “Just the man I want,” said Gordon, smiling his greeting. Hale has just gone over to ask you if I may use your bus.” Wilson’s honest face fell. He was very fond of his first active service machine. Gordon noted his hesitation, and nodded. “I know,” he said, “and the fact is, I can’t promise not to pile her up the same way 1 did mine.” He leaned on the leading edge of a lower wing and gazed off across the airdrome. “It almost seems as if I’m through.” Wilson started. Gordon’s voice had a quality that touched Wilson deeply. Gordon looked up at him, smiling a grave, thoughtful smile. “It happens to most of us if we keep this up long enough,” he explained. “You either get killed, or you lose your nerve. I've lost mine----my flying nerve, you know--------can’t judge my landings any more-----feel as if I’m on the ground when I’m a hundred feet up.” Suddenly, he stood erect, grinning broadly. “But 1 want to get over that, and the only way that I know of getting over it is to fly. I’ve got to take up a machine and practice hedge-hopping until 1 know my ground work again. I’ve got to use one of the squadron busses,----well----1 thought you were the fellow who might understand most readily what it’s all about. See?” Wilson stared at him. Then he became conscious that Gordon was wait- ing for an answer. He gulped and turned red. “Why sure, Major. It’s all right with me.” Then impulsively, “Say, but isn’t it sort of--sort of dangerous?” Gordon tossed back his head, giving his smile the quality of a laugh. “Yes. That’s the drawback to this whole war.” He turned to the brilliant orange and green plane. Wilson watched him, and continued to do so until he saw the orange and green beauty disappear over the trees that filled the valley. Then he turned back to the chateau with a strange feeling of uneasiness. He was reproaching himself for having allowed Gordon to ascend! The men were assembling for lunch an hour later, when the first bomb fell. The anti-aircraft guns gave them the warning, but it was a customary sound, and they ignored it until it gave way to a droning in the air above the chateau, and a deafening detonation that set the old building rocking. In a rush they made for the doors and streamed out onto the airdrome in time to see the orderly hut go up in an eruption of earth and debris. A hail of shrapnel and splinters filled the air. Dust blinded them. The din of thun- dering bombs and anti-aircraft guns was deafening. Wilson saw Collins, of C Flight, slump to the ground as he emerged from the chateau doorway. Bombs burst on every side, and then, suddenly, panic seized the men. They scattered in all directions seeking cover. Wilson, about to follow them, glanced into the air. Immediately, oblivious of the bombs and shrapnel that Forty-fivo fell about him, he stood transfixed, staring upward. He saw the nearing forms of the German bombers dropping their death potions from a height of nine or ten thousand feet----but off to the eastward, he saw something else that moved in the sky---------a tiny plane that caught the rays of the sun with the color of flame. His own plane, with Gordon at the controls, speeding toward the doomed airdrome as a pigeon speeds home! Wilson's heart took a queer turn to think of Gordon’s so returning------- returning to certain destruction or to death. Only a master flier could land in that chaos, and he would need good luck for his landing. But Gordon did not land. Wilson saw him veer to the south as he came in clear sight of the airdrome; and then, pulling up his nose, he dived straight at the high noon sun. Wilson realized Gordon’s purpose. He would dash into the sun until he had climbed to a height above the bombers, and then, with the sun at his back, he would plunge upon the enemy out of that dazzling light, and trust to the gods of war that they might be too preoccupied with their bombing to perceive him. Wilson, oblivious to the entreaties of his fellows to seek cover, watched it turn into the sun and streak down, straight as a die, toward the bombers. There was a moment when silence reigned as the bombs stopped dropping. Wilson prayed that the Germans were not through, for if they were, they could deal with Gordon with one volley of fire. But they were not. Their object was to destroy the chateau, and, having so far missed it, they dipped and came shooting down the air. The bombs started dropping again. Wilson hardly heard them, for his eyes were glued on the little plane that had also dipped. It was droning in a mad burst of speed, and still the Germans hadn’t seen it. Wilson saw the little orange plane pull up its nose as it seemed bound to pass beneath the bow of the leading German bomber. Then it bounced into the air and changed direction as the leading bomber veered from its course, spun into a dive, and dropped like a stone to the earth. But Wilson didn’t see it fall. The first burst of Gordon’s gun fire came to him as the second burst was fired. He saw the bombers scatter, and then, as Gordon’s little machine plunged through the very center of the forma- tion and swooped upward under it in a fine, curving zoom, another German plane dropped flaming in his wake. The bombers were scattered now, and Gordon swooped about among them like a flame-colored hawk among geese. “He’s takin’ 'em all! All of 'em! It’s a suicide, but, oh, but it’s a fight!” Wilson was yelling himself hoarse without knowing it, and his fellow officers, believing the raid over, came forth and joined him. They stood in groups and stared. Gordon was playing his old effective game. With eyes for all about him. seeming to see above, below, behind, and about all at the same time, he kept himself always with a bomber at his back. It demanded skilled flying, for always he must be close, too close for safety, to the enemies about him. and he moved at a hundred and twenty miles an hour. To the officers of his squadron gazing up spellbound at that high fight against appalling odds, he was little more than a flame-colored flash. As they stared, half stunned, they saw two of the bombers fall out of that seething group and hurtle earthward. Then it was that Wilson suddenly came to and swept them all into action. Forty-six “Come on, you ground hogs! he yelled. “We ought to go up! We ought to have been up before! And as he shrieked, he ran madly for the hangars. The others followed, leaping and stumbling across the battered surface of the airdrome. They were running out the machines with almost incredible speed, when Wilson, whose frantic gaze had once again swept the sky, saw aonther bomber come hurtling down—and almost at the same instant he saw Gordon’s little plane turn into a spinning, whirling, scarlet-colored toy, writhing its way toward the earth. “They’ve got him! shrieked Wilson, with anguish in his voice. “They’ve got him! Every stricken face turned skyward, and then, suddenly, Denby cried hysterically, “Got him, nothing! Look! Look! Look!” They all looked, and looked, breathlessly. Plainly, then, they could sec that that spinning plane was under control. Gordon lived! But two bombers were following him, spiraling down in a long glide. In this fashion they were able to keep up with his spin. When he came out of it, they would bring him down. “Get into those machines! screamed Wilson. “He hasn’t a show against both of them!” Somehow, anyhow, three pilots got into the air, three out of the seven who tried to take off: Denby, Morton and Wilson. They turned into the wind and got their direction just as Gordon, at three thousand feet, came out of his spin. Immediately, the bombers fired. They missed, and Gordon spun once more. He was down to seven hundred feet before Wilson led his men into action. For some reason, Wilson had no desire to bring down those two planes. He was content to sec them scurry away, striving for altitude as they flew. Then he turned to look for Gordon, and Denby and Morton did likewise. The airdrome was a mass of bomb craters now, and a man does not land his best after a six thousand feet spin. They watched, and followed Gordon down as they watched him. He made his familiar skidding turn at the end of the 'drome, wavering between the craters that had torn the turf, tried for a line of green, overshot it, and landed five feet above a gaping hole. Wilson saw the little orange-colored plane crumple into the mud, and, catching his breath, he twitched his own stick sideways. Without control, he sideslipped away from his chosen landing. He saw the ground sweep up toward him from the right, and threw up his arm to protect his face. He crashed, and clambered from the wreckage to find the wreckage of his plane at his side. Gordon was standing quietly beside his wreck. They rushed up to him, all the men of his squadron, but he did not seem to hear their excited chorus of glee and admiration. He was gazing ruefully at Wilson. “No use, he said. “It doesn’t look as though I'll ever make a good landing again. Denby was madly pumping Gordon’s hand. “Oh gosh, Major! he said. “Heavens above! Oh Lord! That was all he could say. Two days later Wilson received a letter from Macready telling him all about Gordon and explaining how he happened to send Gordon to command in his stead. He read it aloud to the boys of Sixty-six.

A Test of Courage Loud Wagers Second Prize FOR the first time since he had come to Walsh Flying Field, Bill Brady was up against something that scared him. Billy was standing on the lower wing of the Hisso Standard airplane, which we had taken up together. When we had reached twenty-three feet altitude, I signalled Billy. He care- fully climbed out on the wing for the parachute jump. Now he was there. His hands were clenched tightly on the flying wires. The wind from the propellor puiled at his body. His whole body was poised expectantly. How- ever, he could not bring himself to make that little step backward into space. I had first noticed Billy’s fear when I watched his face as he peered below. He had lost that devil-may-care look, which we all knew so well, and his face had a fear-stricken expression. His smile was gone, and his lips were compressed into a straight line. 1 waited for his next move. I turned the plane around in great circles, hoping that he would brace up and make the jump. He never did. When I caught his attention, I signaled for him to jump. He slumped down with an arm hooked around the wires and 1 knew he had fainted. 1 turned and made a long glide to the field. My heart pounded as I thought of what awaited Billy below. Bill was the best cadet on Walsh Field. He was a likable chap who seemed to be a natural born pilot, but he couldn't get enough courage to make a parachute jump. I knew Benny Brown would be disgusted. Benny was the manager of Walsh Field. We often chatted about the students and whenever we spoke of Billy Brady it made Benny’s eyes light up. When I landed, we took the limp figure from the wing and laid him on his bunk. I waited until he became conscious. He opened his eyes with a bewildered look, until he turned and saw me. Instantly he remembered and whispered sorrowfully, “I’m sorry, sir. I guess I’m yellow and a quitter.” That was all he said. He turned his face to the wall and sobbed. Benny Brown and I talked over wild plans and ruses by which the “kid” might be able to jump. I was nearly sure that nothing in the world would overcome the fear which paralyzed the kid's nerves when he got ready to jump. Billy Brady had one life-long friend at Walsh Field. She was Betty Taylor, our office girl. The two spent many happy hours sitting in front of the hangar talking over their love for the air. Betty was flying most of the time that she was not needed in the office and she was a good pilot. Some- times they went up together, but often they took up separate ships and each tried to out-do the other in some stunt. One afternoon Billy and I were up in the Hisso Standard just for a short spin. I was looking down and saw Betty’s Travelair airplane being warmed up. I tapped Billy on the shoulder and pointed down. He saw and looked back at me with a smile. Betty was probably going to show him some new tricks today. Billy was in high spirits. We had not mentioned parachute jumps for a long time, although Bill wore his chute as a matter of course. It was one of the rules of Walsh Field that no student could go up without his parachute. Betty made a pretty take-off and headed into the sky. Billy looked back at me. a questioning look in his eves. I knew what he wanted and so I gave him the O. K. I was not busy and would be glad to witness a little sky-play. Forty-nine Billy settled the controls and shouted back, “Got your straps on, Bib?” I signaled that 1 was all right and then the fun began. Those two looped through the air until it made me dizzy to watch them. One time the landing gear of Betty’s plane skimmed our top wing. Even my own heart missed a couple of beats. Betty went into a cloud and Bill looped over it. Then it happened. As we were coming out of our loop, Betty’s plane shot out of the cloud. There was a crashing sound and a tearing of fabric and wood. The landing gear of our plane had ripped into the top wing of Betty’s plane. Her plane started gliding down out of control. Betty stayed with it as the ship began its long glide to the earth. Then suddenly a thought struck me. Betty had no parachute! i grabbed the controls and headed for the falling plane. Through the screaming wind I shouted the dreadful news, “She has no parachute, Bill!” He stared back wildly and for a while a look of terror spread over his face. He stood up in his scat and shouted, “Head for the place above Betty's plane.” I guessed he had some wild plan. I headed the Standard for a place over the Travelair. Bill was standing on the wing. When 1 was a few feet above the plane, he dropped. I was afraid to look below. Bill’s figure was seen and he was grasping the fuselage of the falling plane. I saw Bill drag a limp figure from the cockpit and jump. There was a double burden on the parachute, but I knew that it would carry them to safety. The Travelair crashed to the ground, a mass of broken parts. Gently the parachute touched the ground. I made a quick landing. I reached them soon after Benny and the boys got there. Betty was laughing hysterically and Bill was off to one side crying. I started toward him and he looked up. He managed to whisper as his eyes shone with a happy light, “I jumped, sir! And I can do it again any time of the day, sir.” THUNDER The sky was a mixture of blue and black The water had a graylike hue; From afar off over the mountains, A crash of thunder grew; It rumbled for many a moment With echoes tumultuously loud, ’Til finally a torrent of rain burst forth, From out a big, black cloud. Fifty Cecil Mumbert Honorable Men I ion OLD BALDY was a pelican. He was also the mascot of the sixty-odd rookies stationed at Crissy Field. Now Old Baldy was a peculiar old bird, both physically and intellectually. He had a rather straggly coat of dirty feathers of an indescribable hue, while the top of his head was pure white. This fact gave him the appearance of being bald-headed; hence the name imposed upon him by the rookies. Last but by no means least, he possessed an unusually large pair of feet and an enormous bill. However, Baldy was not liberally endowed in all parts of his being. Alas, he possessed a very small and feeble brain, a fact which made him very slow-witted and slow-acting, and, according to the instructors of Crissy Field, an ideal mascot for a company of rookies. Baldy was a first class aviator. He had been rescued from a bucket of tar, into which he had fallen, at the tender age of five weeks and had been promptly adopted by the boys and officers of the camp. He had received his ground instruction—instruction in the art of manipulating those enormous feet—along with the other rookies of the field and had really progressed much farther than they, in spite of his diminutive brain, for Baldy had made his first solo flight long before the fond dreams of the rookies had been allowed to materialize. On this particular June morning Baldy awoke with the first notes of reveille and leisurely flapped his way to the top of the beacon tower, his favorite perch, and, after settling himself comfortably, proceeded to take stock of his surroundings. As Baldy surveyed the numerous tents beneath him, he detected faint indistinguishable sounds issuing from tent seventeen on street A. Presently two young men of eighteen or nineteen years of age burst through the entrance in a frenzy of delight. They proceeded to pommel one another and occasionally to let forth savage yells of delight until they were told to “pipe down” by a sleepy voice issuing from the tent next door. Now it was impossible for a brain the size of Baldy’s to grasp the full significance of the important event in the lives of these two husky young rookies which was to take place that day. Baldy perceived that something unusual was afoot, but how could he know that Jack Davis and Jim O’Connor, his “bunkic,” were to make their first solo flights on this memorable June day. Baldy did not know, and he was perfectly content to remain in his present state of ignorance on the top of the beacon tower and bask in the sun. Presently Baldy’s head began to nod, and he was soon fast asleep. Baldy awakened to find the sun high over head. An unusual amount of activity was centered upon the landing field. Near the hangars, at one end of the field, a number of mechanics were warming up the motors of a couple of bi-planes and making last-minute adjustments on the ships. Baldy realized from past experience that the ships were about to take off, but he did not know that the careers of these two young men depended upon their ability to make good on these, their first solo flights. He did notice that a very pretty girl in a bright red skirt and red sweater, with a mass of black hair flying madly about her head as she stood in the backwash of the “props,” kissed each of the youthful aviators and smilingly wished him luck. He did not notice, however, that she lingered beside the cockpit of a red ship rather longer than was necessary and that there was an Fifty-one beautiful, there was also something strange and sinister about the ancient castle, thus hidden away somewhere in the heart of a modern land, and Barry could not repress a shudder as he strode rapidly toward it. A few moments later he stood in front of a huge oaken door and lifted the massive knocker of bronze. It fell with a loud clang, and the echo seemed to reverberate eerily through empty rooms and passageways, fading at last to grim silence. Suddenly the huge door swung open in dead silence, mutely inviting Barry to enter. Resolutely he set his shoulders, and stepped in. The door swung shut as silently, and Barry stood alone in a long, dim passageway, lighted only by seven candles, smouldering in a candelabra near him. He stepped forward noiselessly, his feet sinking deep in a luxurious carpet. Slowly he proceeded down the passage, wondering why the person who had effected-the opening of the door did not appear. Then all at once Barry was aware of a presence behind him. A wave of fear swept over him, and before he could turn, he heard a voice low and lilting, but with a haunting quality he had never before heard, utter the single word, “Stop! He turned and beheld the loveliest girl he had ever seen. Her long wavy black hair was unbound and floating about her bare shoulders. In the contour and shape of her beautiful face as well as in her beautiful dark eyes, fringed with heavy black lashes, there was some- thing of the oriental, but her skin was snowy white, and the soft coloring of her face, that of the fairest blood. She wore a delicately tinted garment of floating material, belted in at the waist with a curious metal girdle, clearly a garment of the East. Open-mouthed, Barry stared at her until a delicate rose suffused her checks. Then she spoke once more, asking him who he was and why he had come. At the mention of his name it seemed as though she started and turned pale, but Barry was too absorbed in her wonderful beauty to notice anything. When he finished speaking she seized his hand in one of hers. “You must come with me,” she said. For the first time Barry was conscious of the odd accent with which she spoke. A thrill went through him at the touch of her hand and he would gladly have followed her to Hades. Swiftly and unerringly she led him through endless doors, along dark passageways, across huge rooms, all covered with the same soft, deep carpet, and in the same soft, half darkness. At last she stopped before a closed door, and knocked three times. After a short pause she signed for him to enter, and vanished from his sight. Barry hesitated for a second, then opened the door, entered, and closed it behind him. The sight that met his eyes caused his head to swim for a moment. The room in which he was standing was very long, and its extremely low ceiling lent it a queer, oriental atmosphere. It was entirely in black. The walls were hung with thick black velvet curtains, and the floor was deep carpeted with a thick oriental rug, of the same gloomy hue as the curtains. The door by which he had entered was the only opening in the room visible to Barry. The only light came from a blazing white lamp suspended in mid-air by an extremely fine wire. To one side of this lamp stood a huge teakwood altar on which were life sized ebony statues of Isis and her husband, Osiris. The only other article of furniture in the room was a huge ebony desk directly beneath the lamp, covered with books, papers, chemicals, and chemical appa- ratus of all kinds. At the table directly facing Barry, sat Henry Keith Dawson. He was thin and emaciated, and his face showed signs of a great strain. Barry opened his mouth to speak, but a sign from the other caused him to remain silent. “She told me a young man was here. Are you alone?” Dawson asked. At Barry’s reply all the hope and life the former’s entrance had caused Fifty-four seemed to die out of the older man’s face. How did you get here? Where arc you going? Barry answered as briefly as possible. “And now, he said, “if I may be so bold as to ask, can you tell me what this means, what you are doing here ? Dawson said, “1 was not killed that day I disappeared. I was slugged and brought here with my plans. What it is or who it is that brought me here I dare not tell. God knows you would think me mad if I were to try. Suffice it to say that 1 was carried here by the most fiendishly clever indi- vidual in the world, whose marvelous brain could have wrought wonders had it been turned in the right direction------an individual at the head of an organization which threatens the existence of the entire civilized world. I was brought here to serve his own diabolical ends. If you had come ten minutes later it would have been too late. In ten minutes he comes for the plans.” Dawson broke off abruptly. A faint and very warm perfume seemed to be stealing into the room. In the far end Barry saw a faint glimmer of greenish light inclosed in a floating mist. The perfume grew stronger and more oppressive, and at the same time the mist grew larger. Barry’s head throbbed and he felt dizzy, so cloying was the odor. He could not take his eyes from the mist, yet he felt a terrible aversion for it, as for some unclean, evil thing. Faintly Dawson’s voice tense and strained came to his ears. “Go with Lahala. She is an innocent tool, too. Save her, my boy. She has the plans. Go-----quickly! Barry felt Lahala who had entered unobserved by him pull him to a secret door and push him through. His last active memory was of the mist, grown large and very thin now, showing plainly in its midst two green eyes awful in their evil and malignant expression of hatred mixed with cunning. How he got out of the castle Barry never knew. When his mind began to clear and function once more he found himself, with the girl, Lahala, standing in front of the castle. She was pointing to something on the ground and urging him to hurry. She had thrown a light cloak around her filmy attire and under her arm she held a small valise. Barry looked on the ground and saw a large can of gasoline. Grasping her meaning he seized it, and together they started off, half running, half walking. Even the air outside the castle was hot and oppressive and in the distance they heard the rumble of the coming storm. In a scant half-hour they stopped beside the plane, tired and breathless. “Hurry, hurry, Barry! You must. Pour the gasoline in and let us go,” she begged. Barry, still slightly dazed, did as she bade him, and while he filled the tank she climbed into the seat, clutching tight the previous valise. Barry started his plane. The familiar feel of the motor vibrating before him cleared his mind quickly. Suddenly above the roar of the engine a high pitched eerie scream was heard. An instant later it rose again, and this time there was no mistaking the agony it held. Lahala shrank down in the seat beside him, trembling. Barry instinctively pulled the stick, the plane started, and a minute later left the ground. For five long hours they flew, stopping only once in a small town for gasoline, until Barry saw the lights of his destination twinkling beneath him. M he plane circled twice, and then slowdy settled down on to the landing field. A taxi was not far distant and, weary, they climbed into it. Lahala nestled close to Barry and, leaning over, he kissed her sweep lips. “I love you, Lahala,” he said. “And I love you, Barry, she answered. From that instant Barry forgot Fifty-five that he was tired and weary, forgot the horrors and mystery of the night, forgot that he had known her only a few hours, forgot everything but the fact that he and Lahala loved each other. Barry took her straight to the home of his married sister, Nancy Weston. Nancy adored her young brother, so she received without comment the strange young visitor in the fanciful garb of an Eastern dancing-girl. Barry drove straight to the home of his chief and there, behind locked doors, delivered the precious valise. The surprise and joy of the important official were boundless, for the valise contained untouched the original plans of Henry Keith Dawson. His chief listened carefully to Barry’s story of his discovery of the plans, and praised him highly for his actions. Particularly was he interested in the girl, Lahala. “For there,” he said, “lies our best chance of clearing up this mystery and finding Dawson. But now you must go to your apartment and try to get a little sleep, for you must be very tired after this trying experience. Call for me at seven-thirty in the morning, and together we will go to your sister’s home and question your--ah-----fiancee before we attempt to discover the old castle of which you speak. In the meantime I will arrange for a squadron to be ready to accompany you in your search.” “And from now on, Captain Lathrop, I think you may call yourself Colonel Lathrop, as a token of the government’s appreciation of the invalu- able service you have rendered your nation in the discovery and return of these plans.” Without further discussion, Barry taxied to his apartment, and deeply fatigued, quickly fell asleep. After a few hours’ rest, Barry, himself again, called for his chief, and the two set out for the home of his sister, to whom he had already telephoned, asking her to inform Lahala of their early arrival, that no time might be lost. They were met at the door by a frantic Nancy. Her face was white and terrified, and she was trembling from head to foot. “Barry!” she cried. “At last you’ve come—I didn’t know what to do----.” “Nancy!” gasped Barry. “What is it? Not Lahala---------” Dumbly Nancy nodded, and forgetful of his superior officer, Barry pushed the two from his path and dashed upstairs to Lahala’s room, a name- less dread tearing at his heart. Lahala lay in bed as though she were asleep, her hair streaming over the pillow and her face more beautiful than ever, if possible, though it was white with an almost translucent pallor. A dagger pierced her breast directly over her heart. But for the crimson stain on her night-gown and her deathly pallor she might have been sleeping. There were no signs of a struggle, and her beautiful white face smiled as in sleep. After a long time Barry quietly turned and went out, descending the strairs with slow and heavy tread. That afternoon seven government planes, led by Colonel Barry Lathrop, set out in search of an ancient castle not more than five hours away. Here, Barry knew, he could find the answer to it all, and find the one who had murdered Lahala. Oh to find that one--------to kill him with his own bare hands! For two weeks they searched, those seven planes, leaving not one square inch of the country within miles around uninspected. At the end of that time they had to admit failure. Some of the men even questioned the existence of the old castle. To such, the chief grimly pointed out the return of the plans, the murdered girl, and, most conclusive of all, the deep lines of suffering and sorrow in Barry’s face, formerly so smooth and unlined. In later years people often wondered why the handsome and distinguished Colonel Lathrop had never married, and noted that he had the mien of one who had suffered much and deeply. Fifty-six The Ace of Trumps Gerald Strobridge Honorable Mention CARL GREY, an American who had enlisted with France at the outbreak of the World War, was to test Francois Henry’s new speedy “Star,” for which great things were predicted. Her inventor claimed that her engine would revolutionize flying. Carl’s partner on this flight was a stranger to him. He was a heavy set, black headed man. He was introduced to Carl simply as Mr. Brown. Each man put on a leather coat and helmet. The machine, built after a new model, had a single cockpit. The motor began purring. The “Star” taxied across the field, then rose, birdlike, and the passengers were soon circling over the city. Brown shouted to Carl to point the plane east. They headed due east toward Me wily, and presently they were gliding above green fields and groves. Brown’s eyes were devouring the Star.” His staring made Carl nervous and somewhat uncomfortable. “How many kilometers can she go?” inquired Brown sharply. “Five hundred,” answered Carl. Brown was silent for a time. He was giving his attention to the steering gear, which was quite complicated. Carl noticed that Brown’s hair though black had a yellowish tint at the base, but he did not attach any importance to the fact. It was the fellow’s own business if he wanted to use hair dye. It was now seven o’clock, and was beginning to get dark. “We must return,” Carl said, but Brown said to stay aloft fifteen minutes more. By the time the fifteen minutes were up the sun had set and the stars were already starting to come out. Below, the smoke from the chimneys of the cottages could be seen through a mist. Carl turned to his companion and said, “We turn now.” “No,” said Brown. His arm swung up, and something hard, round, and cold pressed against Carl's left ear. “East,” laughed Brown gleefully. Carl was bewildered. Brown must be insane! Brown continued, “I have eight bullets. If you don’t follow my instruc- tions, all eight will scatter your brains as fast as I can pull the trigger. After this I handle the engine.” Carl, steering mechanically, changed his mind about resisting. This fellow was no lunatic, but a criminal fleeing from justice. Brown spoke, “We have speed enough for 500 kilometers?” “Yes,” answered Carl sullenly. Then a queer thing happened. Brown pulled his blue glasses off and tossed them over the side. He rubbed his free hand over his face, and his beard came off and was thrown away. He turned toward Carl, his eyes cold. Little boy, we are going to Stubbleburgh.” The word went thru Carl’s head and everything became clear now. This fellow was neither coward nor lunatic, but a spy. “Let us look at this square, you and I,” began Brown. “If I understood this French steering better, I would shoot you now. It might be safer.” The pistol felt harder as he pondered over it. “But no. It is more convenient to have you along to steer for me. If you do well, you can go back to France in a few weeks, after the war is over.” Carl was motionless. This man had valuable information that would hurt France, and he, Carl, was taking it to the enemy. Then there was the Fifty-seven “Star.” Her engine alone was worth millions. Once the enemy got hold of the inventor’s idea, there would be a thousand “Stars” flying from their lines. He could do nothing. If it wasn’t for the pistol he would tackle the fellow hand to hand, but he didn’t care to try suicide. Brown directed the flight by prodding Carl’s car with the weapon, and Carl had no difficulty in understanding his commands. Now a storm broke out. The plane seemed to stand still while the hurri- cane rushed by. France was being left farther and farther behind. Familiar villages and towns were suddenly blotted out. Now and then the spy would say, “Faster, Bud, faster!” Carl put on more speed. The farther east, the more desperate he grew. A plan began to form. He would outwit Brown. Brown and he were playing a game for big stakes—the “Star” engine and perhaps thousands of French lives. So far Carl had lost everything else, but the ace was worth more than the rest of the deck. Automatic against high card! A beauty, that ace of trumps. A few moments were left to play it, neither too much nor too little. He would match brains with his foreign joker. He would save his ace as long as pos- sible, but it would have to be played above good, hard, French ground. The full moon showed now and then between the clouds and revealed their faces to each other. Carl became quite cheerful. He laughed. Brown grew suspicious. “If I thought that you----” The automatic pressed harder. Carl only laughed again. No, the spy did not dare to shoot him yet. He had thought Brown crazy, and now Brown thought him crazy. Turn about was fair play. This spy was also a patriot, doing his duty toward his country. The plane rushed on through the sky. A dark cloud rose ahead of them. The lightning flashed close. They would have to pass through a thunder- storm before they reached the boundary. Just as it started to rain, Brown commanded, “Up.” Carl understood. Brown wanted to get by all possible interference from planes patrolling the boundary. The plane soared up, the clouds grew nearer, and the lightning was brighter. Brown was nervous. He kept looking at the instruments on the board ahead of him. Carl was nervous, too. It would never do to cross the border in such a storm. The engine might fail. Still the plane went up. Great gusts of wind rocked the “Star.” The rain whipped against her. They were up 1800 meters. The pressure of the gun on Carl's ear relaxed. It is hard to hold a gun to another's head for hours, but yet it is still harder for the owner of the head. The altimeter on the board ahead showed 2000 meters. The storm was shaking the “Star.” It took all of Carl’s skill to keep the plane steady. “East! East!” Brown said. To turn the machine meant death. Carl set his teeth, but he still smiled. Brown was evidently fearing their course might be changed in the storm. It was just midnight. He motioned to Carl that they were high enough. Yes, they were quite high enough. Now was the time for that ace of trumps. He snapped the steering wheel forward with one fierce kick. The “Star” dived down. It went full speed, straight down sixteen hundred feet. Brown's hand, which still held the pistol, slid down to his side. Carl’s fingers slid down the stick. The two men sat face to face. Who would recover first? Carl saw his chance, but he had to hurry. Brown was fighting to regain control of his muscles. Carl reached slowly for the automatic. His hand closed slowly around the pistol barrel that was gradually dropping from the spy's fingers. He pulled. Brown still held on to the weapon, but Carl pulled the weapon up slowly. Brown’s finger moved. Bang! A scorching Fifty-cijcht streak flashed by the American’s cheek. He wrenched the automatic from Brown’s grasp. But this time the spy’s strength had come back to him, too. With a cry of rage he clutched at Carl with both hands. There was no time to turn the weapon and fire. Carl, swinging the butt end of the pistol upward, crashed the spy squarely on the forehead. Brown crumpled and fell forward over the strap. The machine shot out of the storm into the moonlight. Carl looked down. They had already crossed the boundary. Grasping the stick, he gained control of the “Star” and swung her around. Ten minutes later the “Star” landed in French territory beside a guard house. It did not take long to explain to the captain in command. Brown came to, shaking like a leaf. His face was white at the sight of the French uniforms. Plans destructive enough were found on him to send him before a firing squad. The Minister of War was communicated with. Finally there came the order, “Return to Paris” with your prisoner. Your commission in the Flying Corps awaits you, Captain Carl Grey.” The biplane's tank was filled with fuel. Brown was tied and strapped into his seat. Carl climbed into the ship, and in the gray of the early dawn the “Star” rose aloft and started back to Paris. Lucile Glick Honorable Mention Did you ever see a smooth white cloud, Floating in the clear blue sky, And think you saw the form of a face, As the cloud went drifting by? And did you watch that soft cloud-face, And see it change—then fade away, Then think ’twas like real faces, That come and fade each day? Did you know that you sec folks. Each day, each month, and year, Who soon will drift beyond your sight, And go. you know not where? Faces like that one in the cloud, Which come before your sight, Then fade away like empty dreams And change through-out the night. Perhaps you’ve never thought before, That such a thing is true. But just the same, some faces, Will drift like clouds, from you! Fifty.nine Lucile Glick Honorable Mention Powerful fearless birds they are! Traversing the sky with vibrant voices, Humming songs in their throats, Telling the world they have conquered Great things and will win still. Greater trophies with their strength. Flying high and still higher they go. Now drifting aimlessly like Mighty birds of the azure sky, Now flying swiftly and surely, With a goal to be achieved. Another triumph to be gained. What is it to them that some have failed? They have no fear of failure. They sec only victory where others Have found crushing defeat! They’ll never hesitate! Oh. powerful, fearless birds that they arc! The god of light’s an elusive god. He flashes through the universe Like a golden salmon in its pool, startled By some shadow falling o’er him. He lingers for a few brief hours, Then laughingly slips away To other places far remote. Held, he sometimes is, By some puny device of twisted Wires and fragile glass, He stands ready to leave, If the fancy takes him. In truth he is a laughing companion, And a merry deserter, So quick to use his wings— To soar away. Lucile Glick Honorable Mention Calendar September 11. Registration for fall drudgery. 12.

The executive committee, which is composed of the president, vice-president and secretary of the student body and one representative from each class, conducts the business affairs of the students. One of its main duties is the paying of all bills incurred by the student organization. At each meeting this year these matters consumed much time. The committee secured new football and basketball suits for the fall and winter teams and voted to light and decorate the cedar tree in front of the school at Christmas time. Coaches Dement and Angier of the football squad were unanimously voted Christmas gifts of $100 each and were also given a vote of thanks for their help during the successful 1928 football season. The first twenty-two members of the football squad and their manager, Jerry Christescn, were awarded red sweaters with white service stripes and a white block L. At the opening of the track season, the track squad members were furnished with new suits, and other necessary equipment was acquired from time to time. Coach Dement of the football squad was secured at a salary of $25 per week for the four weeks of spring football practice to assist coaches Perrin and Conklin in their preparation of the team for next season.

With Eleanor Blodgett at the head and a reliable staff of officers directed by Signa Marie Holm, faculty adviser, the plane made a very successful trip through the school year. The giant airship made its first stop at the junior class airport and during the flight visited the ports of the other classes with interesting programs for each stop. As an important feature of the year, the girls gave their annual tea. The program for this occasion was presented by the freshmen, while the girls of the other classes acted as hostesses to the mothers of the girls and also to the teachers. The return to home port was made on May 15, when the officers of the airship handed over their duties to the officers for the ensuing year. The installation service was very impressive. At this meeting, the awards for the year were given out in the form of “L’s and Stars. Sixty-six Alumni Association President.................................. Mrs. Thurlow Haskell Vice-President..................................Mrs. Leon Van Noatc Secretary......................................... Katherine Davis Treasurer....................................................Edward Devine THE Alumni Association of Lodi High held its annual meeting in the Lodi Women’s Club building last June. Robert Rinn, prominent mem- ber of the association, extended the welcome to the incoming Class of 192S. Clinton Smith of the class offered thanks on behalf of the graduates and stated that the new members would attempt to do all in their power to keep the Alumni Association's customs and traditions. The business meeting was very short, followed by the election of officers. After a short program, con- sisting of twe groups of vocal selections and a short one-act play, the mem- bers of the association spent the remainder of the evening dancing. During the past year individual members of the club have attained unprecedented heights in every line of outside activities. Students of col- leges in days of the past have been unusually fortunate in scoring high in every line of activity which they have taken up. The club can now boast of one of the best and most representative organizations of its kind in this part of the state. Some of the individual members of the alumni who have done outstand- ing work during the year are: Helen Lange, '23, who made Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honor society. Alvin Lowe, ’24, who was elected a member of Pi Delta Epsilon, a national journalistic honor society. George Emde, '26, who was made a member of a military honor fra- ternity, Scabbard and Blade. Roberta Richards, '26, who achieved membership in Phi Sigma Alpha, a political science honor society. Sixty-seven President..... Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurers..... ....Ellwood Carr ..Lowell Woodson Howard Anderson Adelbert Gillespie Ernest Berner THE Ag Club, with its membership of eighty-six, has attained greater - ■ success this year than ever before. The most outstanding achievement of the club during the year was the securing of the first charter in the state chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The club will now be known as the first official chapter of the Future Farmers of California. One of the features in the foreground of the club's success this year was the winning of the Davis Picnic Day plaque and the Governor Young trophy. Lodi was represented by six teams in the Davis Picnic Day contest and the semi-finals for this section. The teams and members were: Livestock—Lloyd Engle, Peter Marshall and Knox Marshall; poultry— Ernest Berner, Ellwood Carr and Ralph Hawley; trees—John Veraguth, Roland Beendict and Marion Bessac; dairy cattle and dairy products—Carl Binger, William Pirie and Howard Anderson; agronomy—Ernest Berner, Norman Adams and Giuseppe Nepote; farm mechanics—Arthur Struckman, Thruston Campbell and Sherwood Scott. Two new contests were initiated by the Davis Farm last fall: The judg- ing of deciduous fruits, grapes and apples, and the judging of truck crops. Lodi teams won first in grapes and second in truck crops this year. The Ag Club was especially active in the State Fair last year, taking fourth prize and $50 for the school exhibit, and bringing home $270 in indi- vidual cash prizes. 1 Slxty-ci lii Members of the club were winning participants in the First Annual California Baby Beef and Live Stock Show of San Francisco. At San Luis Obispo on May 11, the dairy cattle judging team: Carl Bingcr, Howard Anderson, and William Piric qualified to represent their division next fall at St. Louis. Helen Matthews Honorable Mention The moon smiles lazily, As the golden sky in the west Deepens into an orange, Outlined with crimson, Orchid, And blots of blue, As though some artist, Discouraged with his art, Had splashed his paint in all directions. The blossoming trees. Change the ordinary scenes Into an enchanting fairy-land. The fragrant violets Add a touch of deeper color to the picture. A row of palms, Swaying gently in the breezes, Is silhouetted against the darkening sky. The mellow flute-like song of a distant lark Bids the day its final Fare-well. Sixty-nine HPHF members of the band, who numbered forty-five, were ably piloted by - - Sidney Halsey on a very successful trip through the year 1928-1929. Before the annual hop-off, new band suits were ordered, but the band did not appear on the field until the rally held before the Sacramento-Lodi foot- ball game. At the game, which was held in Sacramento, the band made a very colorful picture in the new uniforms of red and white. Particular attention should be paid to the outstanding showing and to the part the band played at the eventful athletic feat, the Stockton-Lodi football game, and also at the bonfire rally held the night before. The band was well represented at all the games of the season. It furnished many enjoyable programs for morning assemblies, outstand- ing among which was the playing of “The Stars and Stripes Forever by the trumpet section. At the dedication of the new bandstand at the Lodi Municipal Park the band furnished the music and also played a scries of several concerts at the park for the entertainment of the community. Seventy THE school orchestra, which consists of twenty-eight pieces, was reor- ganized this year by Sidney Halsey, who succeeded in arousing so much interest in the flight that several new passengers were picked up on the way. Since its first appearance in assembly one morning, the orchestra has unselfishly given its time to the school. The entertainments, plays and operetta which the school presents would not be complete without its assistance. At the presentation of “Officer 666,” the orchestra made an excellent showing. It broke its own records in assisting with the successful presen- tation of “College Days.” Seventy-one Vocal Music Department QUARTETTE M. McKinley, H. Lerza, Mrs. Rey Moore, Director; E. Loeffclbcin, R. Burgstahlcr. J jRS. REY MOORE ably directed the dirigible, “The Vocal Department,” A with over one hundred passengers aboard, on the flight through the year 1928-1929. With the help of the pilot, the passengers presented many assembly pro- grams and assisted in many entertainments, one of which was the effective and enjoyable program presented at Christmas time. An outstanding feature during the first half of the trip was the mixed quartet composed of Frances Culbertson, Marcella Thorpe, Emil Loeffclbcin, and Ruben Burgstahlcr. The climaxing feat of the department was the unusually successful pres- entation of the three-act musical Comedy, “College Days,” by a cast com- posed entirely of passengers from the dirigible. The male quartette, composed of Harry Lcrza, Emil Loeffclbcin, Ruben Burgstahlcr and Mahlon McKinley represented the school at many outside entertainments and sang for student assemblies.

Seventy-seven Typing Department FROM the several hundred students enrolled in the typing department of Lodi High last year a typing team was chosen to represent Lodi in the district finals at Sacramento in the spring meets. Roy Brown won fourth place in the Sacramento preliminary meet in April, and Lena Lcrza, although winning no place, gained the experience and was the other member of the team. Mrs. Burrell coached the champions and to her goes the credit for the showing made by the students at Sacramento. During the year the students in the department were entitled to try for the many prizes offered by the typwriter companies and twenty-three stu- dents won the medals offered, while several more won the certificates offered for a l'COrd of at least thirty words per minute with no more than five errors.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION The staff of the Tokay wish to express their utmost appreciation to the following members of the English Department of the College of the Pacific for their great assistance in judging the poems for the Tokay poetry contest: Dr. Gertrude Sibley, Professor Marie Brcniman. Professor Martha Pierce, and Dr. Arthur Bonner. To the following members of the English Department of the Sacramento Junior College faculty: Mrs. Agnes Hart. John Harold Swan, and Miss Cara M. Finnic, they likewise extend thanks for judging the stories for the Tokay short story contest. To Mr. Van Montgomery of Coovcr’s Studio in Stockton they wish to express appreciation for his great assistance and cooperation in taking and developing all of the pictures for the annual and also for assisting in the Tokay “Snap” contest. Raymond Stuck. ’29. deserves mention for giving much time to the taking of snapshots for the annual. Seventy-nine Exchanges Colored inserts and clever snaps arc features of “The Franciscan,” from the San Francisco State Teachers' College, one of the best exchanges received. The theme, “Our Western Neighbors,” of Blue and White from Los Angeles High is very appropriate, the art work illustrating this very effec- tively. “The Pioneer” from Sacramento Junior College has some very unique art work, but few snaps. A constructive exchange department and interesting division headings are found in “Enterprise,” Petaluma High. The art work of “Green and White” from Englewood High is very com- mendable, but more of it would improve the book. “Alert” of Turlock High has well arranged division pages. “Crag Echoes” of Dunsmuir Joint Union High is a well arranged annual but contains few snaps. “H. O. H.” of the San Joaquin General Hospital is a very clever and well organized book. Some well written articles arc found in “The Tale of the Tiger” from San Luis Obispo. The literary department of “The Skip” of Sutter Creek High is inter- esting. “Waukeen” of Hilmar Union High has entertaining articles, but the division of snaps could be better. The good literary department and witty jokes of “El Koble” from lone Union High are enjoyable. The original calendar of The Poppy from Winters Joint Union High is commendable. The division pages are excellent. In “Ilex” of Woodland High the snaps are excellent. “Cereal” of Ceres High has a clever athletic department. The exchange department is very interesting in “Greenback Notes” of San Juan Union High. There are also some clever snaps. “The Biolan” from the Bible Institute of Los Angeles has some neat and pleasing snaps. A literary department would add interest to the book. The theme is attractively developed in “The Jacksonian” of Jackson High. The articles are interesting in “The Tower,” Manteca High. A neat and attractive cover is the main feature of “Yuba Delta” of Marysville High. “Potpouri” of Placer Union High has distinctive snaps and a good joke department. The theme is effective and the illustrations pleasing in “The Bell” of San Jose High. “The Oracle,” Bakersfield year book, is exceptionally well balanced and ranks among the best exchanges received by Lodi High. “Caduceus,” from Chico High, has some distinctive art work. “Stray Leaves” from Grass Valley High has an interesting literary de- partment. “Aldus” of Armstrong’s Business College, Berkeley, is a well organized yearbook. Eighty “OFFICER 666” Clifford Gatzert, Malcolm Graham, Ernie Walth, Gerhard Stabbert, Peter Marshall, Marvel Putnam, Fred Lauchland, Gurdon Lcctc, Bruce Devinny, Catherine Powers, Howard Boilcy, Emil Loeffclbcin, Eleanor Strate, Coach. {{ FFICER 666 was presented on February 22 by members of the freshman and sophomore classes. The cast was headed by Malcolm Graham as Travers Gladwin, the millionaire bachelor, and Ernie Walth as Helen Burton, the young girl who finally rescued Gladwin from his boredom. Travers Gladwin had said, If there’s a real thrill anywhere on this earth for a poor millionaire. I'll try to find it, and so he had gone abroad to find the thrill. However, Gladwin returned to New York, and there found his thrill at home. As the play ended Barnes made a remark something like this, “By Jove, I believe you got that thrill, Travers! The part of Whitney Barnes was played by Howard Bailey, who added much to the comedy of the presentation. He gave the audience something to smile about all through the play. Opposite Howard Bailey, Done . Dutschke played the part of Sadie Small, Helen Burton’s cousin. Gurdon Lectc as Bateato, Travers Gladwin’s timid Japanese valet, also added spontaneous bits of humor to the comedy, and played his difficult part excellently; It would be hard to forget the way he said, “ ’Fes,, sair! and “No, sair! Peter Marshall as the Irish “cop,” “Officer 666, was comical at all times during the play. He was quite sure he was getting himself into an awful scrape when he lent his uniform to Gladwin, and what he wouldn’t have given to get his clothes back in a hurry! Katherine Powers as Mrs. Burton, Helen’s aunt, was all that an aunt should be, especially in looking after the welfare of her niece, who she was sure had been kidnapped. Elghty-one Marvel Putnam as Wilson and Herbert Loeffelbein as Watkins were the villains. Watkins had formerly been a butler in the Gladwin home but was a traitor and was helping Wilson rob Gladwin of valuable paintings. Fred Lauchland as the chief of police and John Doherty, Clifford Gatzert, Delmer Woodson and Gerhard Stabbert acted very well as the police who came to straighten out the robbery of the Gladwin mansion. To Miss Eleanor Strate, director of the cast, goes the credit for the great success afforded this play. Between the acts and after the play the high school orchestra, under the supervision of Sidney Halsey, played several selections, “Dancing Dolls and “Falling Leaves by Seredy. and two marches, “Stony Point,” by Lau- rendcau, and “Our National Honor, by Brooks. THE mid-term graduating class presented two short and very interesting plays on Thursday evening, January 24, the first a very humorous play, “Between the Soup and the Savory.” Mary Mondavi as Marie, the cook, took delight in teasing and tormenting Emily, the kitchen maid, because she was timid and bashful and had no “young man.” The part of Emily was exceptionally well given by Ruth Hieb. Alcnc Walker acted her part as parlour maid very well. She, too, seemed to enjoy ordering poor Emily about and reporting to the kitchen the happenings in the other parts of the house. The second play, also in one act, was called “Saved.” The scene was laid in the living room of the old Southern home of Miss Minnie Tremaine and Miss Emily Tremaine. Miss Minnie, Alicia Lowe, was very anxious to keep Sue Tremaine, her niece, from having anything to do with a certain young man. On this par- ticular afternoon Mrs. Saunders—Catherine Leech; Mrs. Bostick—Ruth Ortiz, and Miss Zilla Birdsong—Esther Houston, had all brought their sewing to the Tremaine house, and so the audience was very much interested by the gossip that went on there. Wilda Allen played the part of Sue Tre- maine, the niece, who finally, with the help of Miss Emily, Barbara Phillips, who had once been in love herself, ran away with her lover to get married. “BETWEEN THE SOUP AND THE SAVORY” SAVED” Eighty-two 4 Coli ege D ays7 7 THE operetta, “College Days”, was pre- sented with great success before a large crowd on Thursday evening, April 25. Col- lege veils, songs, and enthusiastic young men and women, along with the college hero and his co-ed sweetheart, all went to make this a real college story. A baseball game furnished the excitement for the opening. The Brinkdale nine was playing Fairview, and the game had reached the last half of the ninth inning. Davy Car- son, pitcher on the college “nine,” won the game for Brinkdale by knocking a home run. '1 he cast included William Dean Coles, known as Tubby, Walton Woodson; John Harris, Mahlon McKindley; David Carson, pitcher on the college nine, Harry Lcrza; Dorothy Smith. Prexy” Smith’s daughter and Davy’s sweetheart, Catherine Clark; Dot’s pal, Helen Jordan, Joanna Wasson; Chaunccy De Forest, known as “Dude.” Ferdinand Bitter- man: Jim Fox, “Foxy Grandpa,” Clarence Campbell; Professor Horace Greeley “Prexy” Smith, president of Brinkdale College, and Dot’s father, Emil Loeffelbein; Martha Baldwin Tcalc, dean of women of Brinkdale College. Ruth Willis; and three college men—good singers, too— Roland Jacobsen, Herbert Loeffelbein and Dale Dargitz. There was also a chorus of college girls and boys. Chaunccy De Forest loved Dot, too, so he, with Jim Fox, plotted to have Davy accused of framing to throw the final college game. The plans worked out, and through various villainous means De Forest really succeeded in driving Davy from col- lege in disgrace. Tubby and Helen and most of Davy’s friends refused to believe the charges, but Dot broke her engagement to Davy. Helen and Tubby Then Davy did himself proud” in the World War, and De Forest, just before he was about to go West, told Tubby the truth about his friend, Davy. Tubby then sent word to Dot that he would arrive the next day, bringing Davy, a hero once more. Then “Prexy,” still besieged by Martha Tcale, who just loved Romance,” proclaimed a holiday in Davy’s and Tubby’s honor. There was a real home-coming scene, with Dot begging Davy’s forgiveness for her lack of faith in him. and all ended happily, not only with Dot and Davy, but with Tubby and Helen and the whole college.

Esther Walsh, Ida Rinn, Coach; Ella Bender. Vivian Benton. Ruby Myers, Esther Schnakc. Eliza- beth Boninc, Flossie Allen. Norman Adams, Lonrel Wagers, Clifford Hutson. THE annual senior play, “Once There Was a Princess,” was presented on Friday night, June 7. Bessie Brinson was excellent in her part of little Ellen Guthrie, the princess. Flossie Allen gave a fine portrayal of the part of Ellen’s mother. The mother, who was very ambitious, had married Ellen to an Italian prince. When the prince died, Ellen was very happy to return to her child- hood home, making light of the fact that it took practically every cent of her fortune to pay her husband’s debts. When the old friends at home heard that Ellen was coming home, they prepared to receive her in a manner befitting a princess. So in a fever of excitement, the whole town was sewing, cooking, decorating, practicing for a reception. But------when Ellen arrived a bit ahead of schedule and was taken for the sewing woman whom her hostess was expecting, she was so taken back that she sat down and began to sew. Ellen Guthrie, however, never knowingly disappointed anyone, and so Millertown had its grand reception and its dream princess came true. All through the splendor of that wonderful night, only two people knew that timid little Mrs. Arden and the gorgeous princess Dcllatoire were one and the same-----the princess herself, and Phil, her schoolday lover, who has been waiting through the years for her return. Norman Adams took the part of Phil in remarkable fashion. Opposite these two leads, Lonel Wagers as EiKhty-flve Milton, and Elizabeth Bonine as Ruby, the young girlhood friend of the princess, aided in adding both romance and humor to the play. The entire cast was excellent in its assistance to the main leads. To Miss Rinn. director of the cast, the students give thanks and appreciation for her many efforts in making this year’s play one of the best in the history of Lodi High. The remainder of the cast was as follows: Joe, Clifford Hutson; the lawyer. Ronald Chinn; Hazel, Vivian Benton; Kate, Vivian Mason; Aunt Meta, Esther Walsh; Mrs. Purrington, Ruby Myers; Mrs. Scaver, Ella Bender; Josephine, Mary Johns; Jennie, Esther Schnakc; Ada, Melba Crete: the senior princess, Flossie Allen. Little grandmother, sitting so motionless By the glowing embers, Of what are you thinking? Are you ridiculing the new day and age? And are you comparing the recklessness of today With the serenity and solemnity of many yesterdays gone by? Or have we misjudged you, Little grandmother, sitting so quietly With feeble hands clasped gently on your lap? Might you not be recalling The days when grandfather Courted you in a chivalrous and stately manner? Might you not be dreaming Of those many beautiful nights In a rose-scented bower? Who knows? But little grandmother, Anyone’s little grandmother, Dream on and on, forever, With your precious memories Of yesterday. Louise Lerza Second Prise Eighty-six UNFORESEEN success in foot- ball and track, fair results in basketball and tennis, the beginning of swimming as a minor sport, and unusual interest upon the part of students in interclass contests has marked the season just closed in the sport annals of Lodi High. Guided this year by Coaches Conklin, Perrin, Angler, Dement and Swim, the football team made an exceptionally successful showing to win the northern section C. 1. F. title. 'I heir success, combined with that afforded the victorious track team, helped to arouse much school spirit, and aided in maintaining en- thusiasm from September to May. Although failing to live up to expectations, the basketball team succeeded in defeating Sacramento and Woodland, but did give Stock- ton a scare by losing 32-30 in the last half of the season schedule. The tennis team sent two men to the sectional finals at Roseville, Jim Conklin besides ranking favorably with the other schools of this section. With the closing the 1928-1929 school year, there passed from active participation in high school sports one of the greatest groups of athletes ever to wear the colors of Lodi High. '1 his group included such stars as Donadio, Gillespie, Happe, Siemcring, Pucheu, Engle, Burson, Shipman and many others, each noted for his untiring efforts to serve Lodi High in his respective sport. Although this group takes from the school a great number whose names have been headliners for the last three and four years, there still remain many devel- oped and even undeveloped men who are to become as famous as those who have left. To the coaches, whose time has been spent faithfully in the training of Lodi’s stars, the students of Lodi High offer many thanks and the utmost appreciation. To those who leave, the student body offers only “Fare- well,” hoping that the alumni may still continue to bring honor and fame to Lodi High by advancing to the highest ranks of athletic fame, and constantly keeping the thought of their alma mater uppermost in their minds. Eighty-seven J Football Line Coach Angier Backficld Coach Bill Dement Head Coach Frog Perrin FIRST TEAM A SQUAD of fourteen block “L” veterans and seven circle “L” men, besides twenty-five other aspiring gridders, answered Coach Paul Per- rin’s first call for practice for the 192«S-1929 football season. Immediate practice sessions were held for the unusually large group of boys, and after the second week a general outline was made of the players and a first squad of twenty-two men was formed, to work under the direction of coaches Perrin, Angier, Swim and Dement. The remainder of the squad was turned over to coaches Verne Hoffman and McKay. After the third week of prac- tice, the first team was lined up to face- the California Aggie frosh in the third anual first game of the season. Both teams were in poor condition. Much fumbling and very ragged playing featured the game. However, Lodi’s superiority was evident and they won the game by a 25—6 score. After this contest, a definite first squad was formed: Captain Jack Happe, Donadio, Engle, Werner, Burnett, Stro- bridge, Pucheu, Shipman, Gillespie, Tanaka, Mettler, Siemering, Granlees, Michels, Lasell, Burgstahler, Oberlander, Benedict, McClure, Sanguinetti and L. Engle. The second game of the practice season was played with Tracy high school, in which the Fighting Flames proved their superiority by a 52—0 score. At about this time the team was dealt the severest blow of the sea- son, when Gil Engle and Biff Strobridge, backficld aces, were ordered to remain off the squad because of injuries received in practice with the B team. Eighty-eight Gillespie Donadio Captain Happe Met tier G. Engle C. I. F. LEAGUE Lodi, 19—Woodland, 6 A crippled but fighting team made the trip to Woodland on October 13, the opening Saturday of the C. I. F. League schedule, where they defeated the Woodland Wolves, 19—6. Lodi established an early lead of 19—0 at half time, but the Wolves held on and prohibited any further scoring on the part of the Flames. Tony Donadio raced over the last chalk line for two of the Flame scores, while Benedict plunged through center for the third. Dona- dio’s attempts to convert were unsuccessful. Lodi, 25—Turlock, 0 Lodi's Fighting Flames, boasting a line averaging 185 pounds per man, outfought a band of Turlock melon-pickers on the Flame field to win by a 25—0 score in the second game of the league season on October 20. Tony Donadio scored three of the touchdowns, while Werner scored the other one. Captain Happe, Gillespie, and Sicmering starred in the Flame. Lodi, 15—Sacramento, 0 At Sacramento on October 27, the Lodi Flames met the Senators in the third league tilt of the season. Having previously defeated the Stockton Tarzans, and headed for the championship of the central section, the Senators faced the Flames with the dope all in their favor. Coach Paul Perrin’s charges, however, were not to be belittled in any respect and. getting the jump on the Purples from the start, they scored at the opening of the second quarter, and kept the Sacramento gridders well back in their own territory, although once the Dragons did carry the ball deep into Lodi territory. The eventful return of Strobridge and Engle into the Flame backfield considerably reenforced the scoring punch, while the Elghty-nin Shipman Sicmcring Pucheu Captain-elcct Strobridge Werner whole team fought as if their life depended upon this contest. Captain Jack Happe led the Flame forward wall in the greatest exhibition of defense and offense shown in the Sacr'amnto Stadium during the season. Strobridge and the diminutive Tony Donadio scored the Flame touchdowns, while the other score came when Shipman tackled Smith, colored flash, back of his own goal line for a safety. Lodi, 25—Bakersfield, 6 On November 3 the Fighting Flames traveled to Bakersfield to return the visit paid by that school to Lodi in 1926, and came out on the long end of a 25—6 score. Tiny Gillespie, 230-pound tackle, scooped up bum’s fumble of one of Engle's punts in the first quarter, and raced across the goal line for the first score of the game. 'Pony Donadio, Biff Strobridge and Engle added the remaining three touchdowns to the Lodi score, while the only Bakersfield tally came immediately after the opening of the third quarter, preceded by a momentous march of 75 yards down the field, to a score by Lemucchi. Lodi, 20—Modesto, 13 On November 10, in the most exciting and hardest fought game of the year, the Flames defeated the Modesto Panthers on the Panther field by a 20—13 score, only after one of the most thrilling uphill fights ever made by a Lodi team. The Panthers held a 13—6 lead over the Flames at half time, and when at the end of the third quarter the score remained unchanged it looked as if the Flames were doomed to lose the title which thev had so nobly taken from Sacramento. The 60-yard return of a punt by Donadio; Donadio's pass to Engle, which resulted in the winning touchdown; and the Ninety Lascll L. Engle Grantees Rageth Sanguinctti Burnett return of the initial kick-off by Modesto to a score to take the Lodians off their feet were the outstanding features of the game. The Flames played as if they were without a leader, had no power of cooperation and. in general, looked nothing like the team that had defeated all its opponents by impres- sive scores earlier in the season. Rageth. who had been added to the squad previous to this game, substituted for Gillespie, who was on the sick list and unable to play, and showed an exceptionally fine game. Lodi, 18—Stockton, 0 The grand and glorious Fighting Flames, winners over Sacramento, Bakersfield and Modesto, fighting desperately for a victory over Stockton, the ancient rivals of the school, were successful in their undertaking and completely outclassed the Blues to win 18—0. Donadio scored two and Biff Strobridge one of the Flame touchdowns, while the entire Flame team played almost above their heads to defeat a sadly bewildered and outclassed bunch of Tarzans. The victory of the Flames in this game gave them the Central Section C. I. F. title and the right to play the winners of the Northern Section. Lodi, 58—Chico, 0 Demonstrating a scoring punch such as has never before been shown by a Flame team, the '28 Fighting Flames annexed the Northern C. I. F. title on December 8 by defeating the Chico Panthers, 58—0. The Flames outplayed the lighter Chicoans in everything but fight. Credit must be given the Panthers for the gameness and fighting spirit which they demon- strated until the final whistle. Tony Donadio, playing his last game for the Flames, played brilliantly Ninety-one Oberlander Benedict McClure Chriscscn, Manager Burgstahler to terminate his high school athletic career in a blaze of glory. The entire Flame team played great football. Coach Paul Perrin was able to use his entire string of eligible men. The contest brought to a close a thrilling and eventful grid season for Lodi High School, guided by the watchful eyes and direction of a stellar coaching staff, and aided by the greatest cooperation that could be expected from any team of real football players. Although the graduation of the Class of ’29 takes from school the great- est group of football stars in the history of Lodi High, there still remains a team of powerful gridders captained bv the capable Biff Strobridge. whose ability is only to be shown by his expert direction of the team this next season.

Although the Lodi Union High.-School second football team, more popu- larly known as the Flamelets, were not entered in league competition this year, they, nevertheless, experienced a very successful season under Coaches Verne Hoffman and Don McKay. Their record for the 1928 season was as follows: September 30—Lodi, 0; Jackson, 18. October 6—Lodi, 20; San Juan, 0. October 13—Lodi, 6; Placerville, 7. October 17—Lodi. 14; Galt, 0.

Ninety-three FIRST TEAM Couch McKay Oberlnmler Burnett Coe Siemcriilg Domulio Pucheu Engle McKenzie. Manager Basketball tr ON” McKAY, coach of basketball for 1928-1929, assembled his sturdy ■ - cohorts, twenty-five strong, for the first practice of the season on December 10. The outlook for a more successful season than ever before was evidenced in the hopes and minds of Lodi High supporters as the prac- tice season progressed, and the Flame quintet rolled up huge scores against all comers. As several of the cage squad played on the football team and were still busily engaged in football practices, only light practice sessions were on schedule for the first two weeks. The team was dealt a severe blow in the early part of the practice season when Slim Burson, recognized as the best all-section center, was declared off the squad for the season with a badly injured leg. which he had hurt in the game with the Ritchie-Irey All-Stars. The first squad was composed of the following men during the season: Engle, Gillespie, Kcttleman, Longmire, Burnett, Burson and Oberlander. Gillespie was graduated in February, leaving the standing guard position to be filled, while Oberlander was lost to the team later in the first half of the schedule when he had two fingers amputated. During the practice season, the Flames lost one and won three games for a perentage of .750. The following are the practice contests, all played in Lodi: December 1-1—Lodi, 36—Ritchie and I rev All-Stars, 45. December 22-—Lodi, 59—Oakdale High School. 27. December 28—Lodi, 23—Modesto High School, 18. January 12—Lodi. 45—Petaluma High School. 25. Ninety-four The hopes of their supporters were to be blasted when the Flames experienced much difficulty in winning their way to third position in the league, by losing hard fought contests to Woodland, Sacramento and Stock- ton in the first half of the schedule. Their ability in the second half of the schedule was very much in evidence as they easily defeated Woodland, dis- placed Sacramento on the short end of a close score, and finally lost to Stock- ton in the hardest fought game of the season. Coe, Donadio and Siemering furnished the scoring punch for the squad in the majority of the games, while Gillespie, Engle and Puchcu were all that is to be expected of good guards. Coe, the only player on the first squad who returns next year, won high point honors in the second half of the season repeatedly, although Donadio was always high in the score column. The following were the scores for the C. I. F. League: January 5—At Lodi: Lodi Flames, 26—Woodland, 18. January 17—At Lodi Lodi Flames, 28—Sacramento, 32.

Nevertheless it was exciting and interesting, marking the last season in which the great quartet of Flame athletes, Puchcu, Dona- dio, Engle, and Siemering participated.

A S WAS the case with the second football team, Lodi’s second basketball team was not entered in the C. I. F. league. They did, however, cover themselves with glory, playing the lone hand and losing but two games dur- ing the entire season. They defeated Oakdale, Modesto, Lodi Walther League, Stockton, Sacramento and Woodland. The season’s record of the second basketball team was: December 22—Lodi, 17—Oakdale, 15. December 28—Lodi, 38—Modesto, IS. January 5—Lodi, 37—Woodland, 12. January 9—Lodi, 27—Lodi Walther League, 21. January 12—Lodi, 29—Petaluma, 24. January 17—Lodi, 29—Sacramento, 10.

The second team scored a total of 257 points, compared to 175 scored against them. Those who composed the second squad were as follows: E. Seiferling, A. Salaun, R. Benedict, R. Jacobsen, C. Gatzert, E. Long- mire. R. Burnett. D. Kettleman, C. Campbell, L. Engle, H. Michels, L. Wagers and V. Wittmeier. Ninety-six Track FIRST TRACK SQUAD Standing: McKay, Coach; Wcncil, Granlees, Pruitt, Gillette, Stuck, Morri- son, Hatch. Burson. Burgstahler, Schneider, Tanaka. Doneux, Manager. Front Row: Donadio. Walters. Johns. Ulmer. Engle, Captain: Sicmcring, Strobridgc, Boninc, Fry. WITH the opening of the 1929 track season a team only partially veteran reported to Coach Don McKay. Graduation in 1928 had taken its toll, leaving huge gaps to be filled in the sprints, pole vault, weights and middle distances. The loss of Hudson and Hackell in the sprints, Poser in the 440, Pope and Gillespie in the weights, and Burson in the pole vault necessitated sonic shifting of positions. After some time, however, a capable quartcr- miler was developed in Ulmer, and dependable sprinters were found in Dona- dio, Engle and Boninc. The weights and pole vault remained the Flames' weak spots throughout the season. In the first dual track meet of the season, held with Sacramento High on March 14 and 15. the Flames were defeated by a 67—65 score. The feature race of this meet came in the low barriers, in which Gillette hung up a new Lodi High School record of 25.2 seconds for the 220 yards. Next, in a triangular meet with Oakdale and Modesto, the Flames came out on top in the Class A division but were defeated in Class B. The scores of this meet were as follows: Lodi Oakdale Modesto Class A.............................. 60y2 57' 2 43 Class B.............................. 28 71 22 On April 13 the Flames defeated their closest rivals, the Stockton Tar- zans, by a score of 178—66, scoring an overwhelming 88—34 victor}’ in Class A. and repeating with a 90—32 score in Class B.

Porter, Hemphill. Phipps. Houston. Matsuhiro, Hieb. At the annual C. C. H. S. A. L. meet held at Modesto on April 20 the Flames, for the third consecutive year, placed first, this time amassing a total of 48J4 points to Turlock's 4 y2 points. Oakdale and Modesto finished in a tie for third with Stockton a poor fifth. The eight men who won places in this meet represented Lodi at the N. C. H. S. A. 1.. meet held at Yuba City on May 4. They made a very creditable showing, taking third place. The eight were: Captain Gil Engle and Tony Donadio—sprints, broad jump. Stuck and Gillette—hurdles. Hatch—880, mile. Ulmer—440. Strobridge—javelin. Engle, Donadio, Bonine, Gillette—relay. The personnel of this year's team was as follows: Sprints—Engle, Donadio, Bonine. 440—Ulmer. Burgstahler, Granlees.

Tower, Conklin, Wagers, Jacobsen. Front Row: Kcsscl, W. Smith. T877HILE the 1929 tennis team lacked the individual brilliancy character- istic of -Flame teams of bygone years, it was, nevertheless, a well bal- anced team, having as its nucleus Conklin, and Tower, veterans of last year, and Jacobsen, Lillard and Wagers, newcomers, who at all times pressed leaders for the top positions. Matches were played with Elk Grove and Sacramento high schools, and with the College of the Pacific frosh team. In the first match of the season the Flames lost to Elk Grove by a score of 5—2, but came back to trounce them a week later by a score of A—2. The Flames met Sacramento’s power- ful tennis team twice, being defeated both times by scores of 9—0. During the early part of the season a tennis ladder was started. Jacob- sen topped this throughout the season and was entered, together with Lil- lard, in the C. C. H. S. A. L. meet held at Roseville on May IS. At Rose- ville the Lodi team made a fair showing considering the competition which they encountered. The line-ups: Singles: Jacobsen, captain. Conklin, Tower, Wagers, Lillard, Kcsscl, Mc- Kenzie and Smith. Doubles: Conklin and Tower, Jacobsen and Wagers, Kesscl and Lillard. Ninety-nine Swimminj SWIMMING TEAM Left to Right: Bailey.

TJOR the first time in the history of the school, Lodi High has this year been represented in swimming. Although the swimmers were defeated in most of their starts this season, they, nevertheless, tasted victory in defeat, for most of the dual meets were very close and with a little more experience under fire the Lodi entrants should carry off many honors. As this year’s team was composed for the most part of freshmen and sophomores, prospects are bright for future teams. Under the able tutelage and watchful eye of Coach Jim Conklin, the team made rapid headway. Notable among the swimmers this year were Paul McClure, Flame sprint ace; Ray Rodacker, 'Pony Donadio and Chet Kreis, diving stars, all three of whom have gained a good number of the points scored by this year’s team. The Flames were defeated in two dual meets by Sacramento with scores of 47—28 and 45J-4—30 4. Paul McClure did the heavy scoring for the Flames in both meets, while the Geary brothers featured the scoring for the Dragons. With the 1929 team returning en masse for next year, the Flames can look forward to a very successful season. The personnel of this year's squad follows: McClure, Donadio, Kreis, L. Pruitt, K. Weaver, W. Brown, R. Rodacker, W. Allington, Marshall, Bailey. Adams. Wilson,. Poundstone and Hellwig. Ono Hundred FOOTBALL Happe, captain Shipman Sanguinctti Oberlander Bu rgstahler L.

This year thirty-one girls received block L’s.” To receive an “L,” a girl must play on the first team in four different sports. For each sport she receives seventy-five points, three hundred points being necessary for an L.” Eight girls this year received stars. A star is given for each additional three hundred points. The girls’ sport program this year included the usual six sports: hockey, volley ball, basketball, baseball, tennis and swimming in that order. The girls manifested intense interest in each sport. Basketball, however, was the most popular. In all, the girls were entirely satisfied with the year’s sport program and are anxious to start again next year. With the awarding of the letters and stars at the last Girls’ League meeting, the 192K-29 sport season came to a close. STELLA HAGLUND SECOND TEAM A NOVELTY in girls’ spirts was introduced this year in the form of a second team basketball tournament, which was played off the week preceding the games between the first teams' of the various classes. The senior second team won two out of three games played with the sophomore second team. As there was neither a freshman nor a junior team, the seniors won the tournament. The senior players included Josephine Baron, Eleanor Blodgett, Martha Fogg, Elizabeth Frey, Elma Henning, Esther Schnake, Elizabeth Squire. Leah Bamert, Dorothy Carr, Marie Delrick, Ellen Henning, Martha Jacobsen, Margaret Van Buskick played for the sophomores. ‘1 J ■ ? ‘ V 1 One Hundred Two Volley Ball VOLLEY-BALL Standing: B. Smith, D.

HPHE sophomores were victorious in volley ball, the first sport on the girls’ - ■ calendar this year. The seniors took second place and the freshmen third. The juniors, due to a lack of participants, received last place. The first game was played on October S. when the sophomores easily defeated the freshmen 15—2. As the juniors did not have a team they forfeited to the seniors. The sophomore senior game, played on October 10, was the most exciting game of the season. The sophomores won by a score of 15—7. When the two losers, the seniors and freshmen played, the latter lost by a score of 15—7. The players were: Seniors: Anna Devine, captain, Josephine Baron, Melba Crete, Verla Coleman, Martha Fogg, Elizabeth Frey, Elma Henning, Mary Johns, Ruby Meyers, Mary Mondavi, Esther Schnake, Florence Williams. Juniors: Lorraine Landback, Frieda Ritzman. Sophomores: Margaret Taylor, captain. Ruth Atwell, Dorothy Carr, Donez Dutschke.

Devine. O. Gillespie, M. Crete. V. Coleman. M. Johns. THE seniors, by winning the junior-senior and the sophomore-senior games, were awarded first place in the girls' basketball tournament this year. The first basketball game was played between the freshmen and sopho- mores on January 22. The freshmen lost to the more experienced sopho- mores by a score of 26—I. The annual junior-senior game on January 22 was very fast and excit- ing. The seniors seemed to have a slight advantage over the juniors and at the end of the battle the score stood 16—10 in favor of the seniors. The senior-sophomore game was played on January 23. This game was exciting but not as thrilling as the former one. Because of their 16—12 victory in this game the seniors were declared the champions of the school. The juniors on Thursday, January 24. defeated the freshmen bv a score of 30—4. They also defeated the sophomores 16—8 on January 25. Seniors: Melba Crete, captain, Verla Coleman, Anna Devine, Opal Gil- lespie, Lucille Glick, Mary Johns, Mary Mondavi, Lydia Roth well.

One Hundred Four Hockey HOCKEY Standing: A. Field, E. Pope, B. Ortiz. L. Perrin, A. Cormack. Front Row: E. McKenzie, M. Holl, A. Kcnnison. C. Michels, E. Snyder. M. Thompson. HOCKEY, a new sport in Lodi Union High School four years ago, is becoming more popular each year. This last fall it attracted a greater number of girls than ever before. Thirty-five girls reported at the first call early in October, and after a long practice season, captains were elected and games scheduled for the teams. Only the seniors and sophomores had complete class teams. The fresh- men and juniors combined to form a winning team, which was able to ride roughshod over the other teams. November 18, the freshman-junior team defeated the sophomores by a 7—1 score, and on November 19. won over the seniors by a 7—2 score. The seniors then forfeited to the sophomores to end the season. Seniors: Mary Mondavi, captain, Josephine Baron, Melba Crete, Verla Coleman, Anna Devine, Martha Fogg, Elizabeth Frey, Esther Schnake, Florence Williams. Freshman-junior: Evelyn Pope and Audrey Kcnnison, captains, Annie Cormack, Alice Field, Rose Graham, Margaret Hall, Helen Mondavi, Laura Perrin, Elinor Snyder, Margaret Thompson. Sophomore: Catherine Holt, captain, Ruth Atwell, Marguerite Caplc, Dorothy Carr, Dorothy Ircy, Martha Jacobsen, Julia Lytle, Bertie Smith, Margaret Taylor and Margaret Van Buskirk. One Hundred Five Baseball BASEBALL V. Burgstahlcr, M. Holi, M. Allington, I. Shauer, H. Schaffncr, L. Strobed, M. Van Buskirk. HPHE junior girls won first place in baseball this year, due to their heavy - • hitting and expert fielding. In the annual junior-senior game, the juniors bunched hits in the fourth inning to score nine runs, and from then on it was only a matter of time. The seniors changed pitchers, reversed their entire infield during the game, but t«� no avail and lost by a 22—7 score. On April 11. the juniors again won by a score f 15—7 from the sopho- mores. By winning these two games, the juniors received the school cham- pionship. In the freshman-senior game, played the next week, the fourth-year girls tallied twenty-nine runs to win by a very uneven score of 29—7 from the freshmen in their only victory of the season. The sophomores defeated a disarranged team of seniors in the last game of the year and by virtue of a 33—7 score, won second place, forcing the seniors into third place and the freshmen to fourth. Senior team: Verla Coleman, captain, Ruth Wilson, Ruby Myers, Anna Devine, Esther Walsh, Mary Johns, Florence Williams, Elizabeth Squire, Elma Henning, Martha Fogg. Junior team: Ida Shauer, captain, Margaret Hoi I. Rose Graham, Laura Strobed, Iola Rouse, Margaret Van Buskirk, Helen Shaffner, Violet Burg- stahler, Margaret Allington. Sophomore team:Martha Jacobsen, captain, Dorothy Carr, Dorothy Irey, Martha Prezler, Leah Bamert, Ellen Henning, Dovye Myers, Blanch Clifton, Marie Debrick. Elsie Coleman, Margaret Taylor. Freshman team: Gladys Strobed, captain, Ella Strother, Marie Veit, Jean Brixcy, Clovis Michels, Sara Hcib, Gladys Markcy, Edith McKenzie, Alice Field, Evelyn Pope, Margaret Thompson, Marcella Thorpe. One Hundred Six TENNIS L. McLachlan. L. Perrin. M. Jacobsen, M. Taylor, C. Holt, M. Crete, A. Devine. E. Pope, V. Matthews. MELBA CRETE won the girls’ singles championship for 1929. Rose Graham, a junior, was second: Martha Jacobsen, a sophomore, third, and Evelyn Pope, a freshman, fourth. Virginia Matthews and Anna Devine won the doubles championship for the third consecutive year. Catherine Holt and Margaret Taylor, sopho- mores, were second, while Laura Perrin and Leona McLachlan, juniors, came third. A different method of running off the tournament was used this year. Each class was divided into two ladders, one singles and one doubles. By April 5, all the class matches were finished. Then the players at the top of each ladder were placed on an interclass ladder: that is, the singles win- ners of each class were put on one ladder and the doubles winners on another. These matches were finished by April 19. Great enthusiasm was shown in tennis this spring. Every night the courts were full to overflowing, and consequently the season was successful. AIRPLANES Gerald Allen Airplanes, the monarchs of the sky, Like giant birds winging their ways Among the clouds above the earth; Like unto an eagle’s scream is the scream of the wire struts. There arc the little fighting planes with single motors The larger mail and passenger planes with two or three.
