I e J U9SUM!A vv vin a jnv AA I IAAHY5 rvw JW NAINA MAT ' 3H± 3A � A 2HV3A FOREWORD HE influence of ancient Greece conies down to us like the light from a fixed star, whose glory may seem to have gone out, but whose afterglow still sheds its radiance upon the world. We look to ancient Greece for words of wisdom and undying works of art that live on with increasing value, and to Greece we pay tribute for the Olympic Games, the background of sports, which play so important a part in modern life. The sportsmanship, effort, and high ideals which char- acterized the Olympic Games have been sources of inspiration to all the youth of the land. In all its activities, ideals like these have been the goal of the Lodi Union High School, where the spirit of true sportsmanship prevails, whether it be in sports or in school work itself. The staff of the “Tokay” has endeavored to bring into this annual something of the spirit of Greece. Greek poets and writers have been the source of our quotations, Greek sculptors and athletes the models for our art, and the Greek Olympic Games the inspiration for our annual. Since this year marks the close of a modern Olympiad and since the Olympic Games arc being held in California, we hope that our readers will feel that we have appropriately chosen “Olympic Games” as the theme for the 1932 “Tokay.” — Betty Jean Ashley. And many a chosen youth stood ready To strive there in their sports —Homer [ 4 ] MAIN ENTRANCE And now Olympus' shining gates unfold.

[ 8 ] Dedication Fo .Miss Kathryn T ay lor, teacher of Katin, for her devotion to the interests of the students of our high school, we fondly dedicate this annual. Happy is the one possessing The superior holy blessing Of a judgment and a taste Accurate, refined and chaste.” —Aristophanes [ 9 ] An Appreciation E, the staff of the “Tokay” and the students of the Lodi Union High School, wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Lodi Business Men's Association for their whole-hearted efforts in soliciting for us the funds needed to make this annual possible, and to the people of the Lodi Union High School district for their generous cooperation in the undertaking. To the high school band and its director, Mr. Sydney Halsey, we also express our highest appreciation for the true spirit with which they responded to the opportunity of aiding the “Tokay.” May the gods protect our champions! —Aeschylus. [ 10 ] Dorothy Van Gelder [ II I The Lodi Union High School in 1931-’32 en- rolled 906 pupils, 265 of whom were transported in seven buses. Night school classes enrolled 147 others, Americanization, 260, and adult sewing classes, 136. The attendance at the open forum in the City Hall, for the year, totaled 1575. This enrollment came from seventeen districts, com- prising the Lodi Union High School District, a territory approximately 200 square miles in extent. Four buildings with bleachers and fields for athletics, constitute the school plant, valued at $590,(XX) and situated near the center of the union district. An auditorium with complete stage and motion picture equipment, offers seating capacity for over 1400. A main building affords space for classes in academic subjects, and for the library and office. A building for science, agriculture, and domestic arts, also provides a cafeteria equipped for serving students and teachers. Shops supply equipment for woodwork, farm and auto mechanics, and garage space for eight school buses. Two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and play grounds furnish a means for developing and maintaining health and recreation. The jurisdiction of the school is entrusted to five trustees elected at large from the union district: I)r. W. H. Croswhite, president, of Lodi; Mrs. Flor- ence Featherston, clerk, from Justice district; Mr. R. J. Stuck of Woods district; Mr. C. Dexter of Houston, and Mr. W. E. Shipman of Alpine. W. H. CROSWHITE President of the Hoard of Trustees Alumni The Woman’s Clubhouse provided a lovely setting for the annual reunion of the Alumni Association of Lodi Union High School, with lavender and gold bouquets carrying out the colors of the Alumni Association. The play, “Good Fishing,” under the direction of Vernon Hurd, was very cleverly presented, with Mrs. A. J. Randolph, Howard Bailey, and Vernon Hurd in the cast. John L. Blakely, of the Class of 1900, delivered the address of welcome, and Lloyd Engel, president of the Class of 1931, re- sponded. Miss Margaret Taylor, president of the Student Body for the year 1930-’31, was introduced, and roll call by classes followed. The following outgoing officers were intro- duced at the business meeting: Amy Boynton, president; Esther Wencel, vice president; Stanley Jones, secretary; Alfred Gatzert, treasurer. Winifred Beckman Jones is president of the Alumni Association, Howard Bailey is vice pres- ident; Willard Beckman, secretary, and Le Moin Beckman, treasurer. M RS. WINIFR ED JON ES President of the Alumni Association Prize Cur Row ena Happe VICTOR A. ROHRER Principal of Lodi Union High School GREETINGS To the Class of 1932 I extend heartiest wishes for the best that life has to offer. May the events of your high school days recorded in this annual ever live afresh in your memories as a reminder of the joy and profit that you have experienced here. The cordial response of the loyal patrons of the district who, by their special contributions, helped to consummate the publication of this year-book is the finest token we might have of the interest our community has in you. It should be a perpetual inspiration, and spur us all in every endeavor to return to our community that same spirit of helpful, cooperative service, so vital to the common good. I covet for each of you a citizenship which will make vour lives a positive constructive influence and power among your fellows. Above all,—to thine ou n self be true: And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. I 13 J FACULTY ORTY teachers comprise the faculty of Lodi Union High School.

[ 29 J Junior Class The first big problem confronting this class was that of finding means by which to replenish the rather small sum in the treasury. Many wise heads were put together and the result was the sponsoring of a profitable food sale. Always looking into the future, the Juniors saw the date of the Junior- Senior Banquet steadily approaching. Then came another glance into the treasury. Another money-making scheme appeared. Try-outs for the Junior play, “Skidding,” were held. Those chosen for the various roles were: Aunt Milly, Kathryn Graham; Andy Hardy, Maurice Thompson; Mrs. Hardy, Marian Peterson; Judge Hardy, I.eland Cain; Grandfather, Alvin Schnabel; Estelle, Robinette Fisher; Marian. Violet Filler; Myra. Winifred Merrill; Wayne Trenton, Francis Pierce; and Mr. Stubbins, Donald Andrews. January 22 soon rolled around, bringing with it satisfactory receipts from the play. In February bulletin boards advertised a ten-cent assembly given by I)r. Burdick demonstrating liquid air. and in one corner appeared the caption, “Sponsored by the Junior Class.” While all this was taking place, the Junior girls, with Dorothy Harshner as captain, placed first in volley ball. The team consisted of Marjorie Harney, I DOTED through the year 1931-32 by the hard-working officers, Peter Mondavi, president; Russell Brentlinger, vice president; Matsuo Okazaki, secretary; and Ila McCoy, treasurer, with the aid of the class advisers, Miss Ruby Barnebcy, Mrs. Beatrice Kreuz- berger, and Corell Smith, the Junior Class reviews their past activ- ities quite proudly.

Under the leadership of Leona Ackerman as captain, the Juniors man- aged to capture second place in basketball. Leona’s team claimed as mem- bers: Cleola Schotz, forward; Lois Emde, and Maurine Smith, guards; Dorothy Harshner and Florence Barsotti, centers; and Winifred Wilkinson, substitute. The Junior hockey team, Cleola Schotz, captain, Barbara Newman, Rob- inette Fisher. Dorothy Harshner, Florence Barsotti, Maurine Smith. Leona Ackerman, Lois Emde, Mary Rathbun, Winifred Wilkinson, and Dolores Handel, took third place. The Class of '33 was quite satisfactorily represented in the various school activities by having membership in the Chemistry Club. California Scholar- ship Federation, Aeronautics Club. Agriculture Club, Girls’ Association, I� . N. O. Club. International Club. “Flame” and “Tokay” Staffs, and Student Body Council. In the Agricultural Department. Francis Fierce was treasurer of the Ag Club, and a member of the team which took second place in a grape-judging contest at Davis. The Juniors upheld their class quite well in the B. X. O. Contest on Friday, April 15. Aimee Salomon, an entrant in Class A. was the winner of the cup. The final event of the year, a night of fun. and farewells, the Junior- Senior Banquet on May 28 was a real success. Now the members of the Class of ’33 fondly bid adieu to the name they have so worthily defended and honored during the past year as they proudly, yes, eagerly accept the title of Seniors. — Kathryn Graham. 1 31 J Sophomore Glass H E Class of ’34 is very large. Therefore Sophomores have participated in almost every activity in the school. Special talent has been shown by some of the students, while others in the class have taken lesser positions but have aided the coaches, teachers, and directors very much. Although a few of the class have dropped out, a very small percentage has been lost. The class has representatives in athletics, the Ag Club, on judging teams, in band, orchestra, chorus, the Scholarship Federation, and on the Flame.” In athletics the class is very well represented. There was a large turn- out for every sport and consequently many of the students have earned Block “L’s”. Fifteen or twenty Sophomores reported for football practice last fall and many more appeared for spring practice. John Daly, Galen Stoudcr, Clifford Knee, Homer Wolfe, and Cooper played football on the “A” team. Basketball claimed fifteen members of the class who played hard for both the “A” and “B” teams. Those who played on the “A” team are Gustave Brcdy, John Daly, Frank Graffigna, and Galen Stoudcr. On the “B” team of basketball were Bill Jauch, Kenneth Bertsch, Richard Cooper, Vincent Soucic, and John Koehler. The Sophomores have shown their ability in track and field events, while a few have turned aquatic and made the swimming teams. The girls of the class have had good teams in basketball, hockey, baseball, swimming, and tennis. Stevens. Schulte. Holt. Wallioe. Perii . Win:. Pirie. Potter. Ito. Zumbaum. Scott. Jones. Welsh.

Elberon Stevens, Joseph Siegfried, Walter Howen, Herbert Kitzmann, Arnold Duerk- sen, and Charles McClelland. In the music contest on April fifteenth several Sophomores placed first and second. In the “B” class Kenneth Hepper took second place in the trum- pet section, Evelyn Heffley was first and Charlotte Dugdale was second in the clarinet section. In the “A” class Ralph Isbill placed second in the trumpet section, Gladys Seibel was second for piano playing and Elberon Stevens placed second in the woodwind section. A large number of Sophomores who are taking agriculture courses belong to the Ag Club. Many of them have been on judging teams. Although there are a few Sophomores in the Scholarship Federation a great many pupils have needed but one grade to join. There arc quite a few members of the class on the “Flame” staff. The Sophomore girls have shown their dramatic art in the many plays they have presented before the Girls’ Association. “Dr. Fill-Box Scores” is one that they presented. Those taking part were Charlotte Dugdale, Bernice Smith. Marjorie Field, Dorothea Lange, Jane Keller, Patricia Mason, and Dorothea Godfrey. I 33 1 Freshman Class I HE eighth day of September, 1931, three hundred twenty-six fright- ened and inexperienced freshmen with their grammar school diplomas tucked under their arms entered the Lodi Union High School to compete in the great race for the prize—graduation from high school. Thus far the Class of ’35 has completed one-fourth the race, and is eager to finish the remaining three-fourths as quickly and success- fully as possible. The class has accomplished much and is impatient to ac- complish still more. Irene Heindl and Betty Chow have been successful in securing for the Freshman girls the doubles championship in tennis. Grace Baldwin was the only Freshman girl going out for swimming and has proved very excellent, while Betty Chow, Eileen Franklin, and Louella Shaw have done much to promote the success of the class in other athletics for girls. The boys who have shown prowess in athletics are Nat Morton, tennis; Jules I’crrin. football; Elton Cencirulo. Dale Rathbun, and Edwin Kiemele, swimming; Lyle Rapalee, Oliver Archer. Bruce Addington, and Thomas Leech, track; and Oliver Archer and Lyle Rapalee, basketball. Jay Loveless was the only Freshman to be sufficiently successful to make the dairy pro- ducts judging team.

Making the upper classmen “hump” Is our most cherished fad. We’re fairly good in swimming, nor In tennis did we fall. I guess that we are pretty safe In any free-for-all. Of course we pulled some “boners” rare. Which we hope all will forget. And if we work with utmost care We’ll acquire that wise look yet. — Betty Chow. 1 35 ] Honor Roll FIRST SEMESTER September, 1931—January, 1932 HIGHEST SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE FOUR YEARS First Place ........

The entertainment included a musical skit, followed by a very interesting talk in which Miss Holm gave sketches of her last summer’s tour of Europe. Seniors presented the program of the October meeting; Juniors, the No- vember one. A Christmas play, music presented by the Sophomores, and a visit from Santa all added to the season’s cheer displayed at the December meeting. In January the girls were honored in having as their speaker Miss Virtue, superintendent of nurses at the San Joaquin General Hospital, and Miss Hartley of the Public Health Center. The February program was pre- sented by the Freshmen. At the March meeting the time was given entirely to a musical program. The big event of April was the annual tea. with the mothers of the girls and the faculty as guests. The final meeting in May was for the purpose of installing the new officers and presenting athletic awards won by the girls during the year. The girls presented a ten-cent assembly in March, made pom-poms and sold them at the games during the football season and in April assisted the P. T. A. by presenting two one-act plays at their public program. The “big sisters.” appointed to direct the Freshmen proved a great benefit to Freshmen girls. . The officers are Marcella Thorp, president; Dorothy Harshner, vice pres- ident; Pauline Marshall, secretary; Elizabeth Campbell, treasurer; Evelyn Pope, athletic manager; Margaret Thompson, Senior representative; Marjorie Declusin, Junior representative; Patsy Cole, Sophomore representative; Char- lotte Dugdale, Freshman representative. The accomplishments of the Association have been made possible through the faithful cooperation of the officers and the help of the dean of girls, Miss Signa Marie Holm.

Tancreto Band ‘I he Snappy Lodi Band —So the “Stockton Record” described the band several days after it made its spectacular entrance on the C. O. P. grid- iron at the Stockton-Lodi game, November 14 Xo other department in the school has given more to school ami com- munity than the band. The band showed its school spirit in playing at all football games, en- couraging the team to victory. It not only was present at the games, but gave the town folks some excellent march music each week when it marched to advertise the games. On several occasions it also serenaded the home of the flashy little Japanese half-back, Matsuo Okazaki. When the football season closed, the band continued its work and made frequent appearances in assemblies. During the course of the year, many of the best known over- tures and marches, especially Sousa’s, were played. Besides taking an active part in school functions, the band played for various civic affairs such as the Armistice Day and Memorial Day parades. It, combined with the Stockton band, gave the teachers a program on the first day of Teachers’ Institute. I he band had a daily class in which to rehearse this year, enabling the members to accomplish more than they had in the past. Paul Thommen was drum-major during the year. The band opened the annual concert of the Music Department on May 6 with the following numbers: March, “Under the Double Eagle,” Wagner; Overture, “The Gypsy Queen,” King; Trombone Solo, “Fancy Free,” Smith — frirl l � r c tlrtic t • T m w.. .... “'PI. . ’ __ 1 I O 1 • i • — Carl Mettler, soloist; Largo from “Wedding of the Winds,” Hall. ---- j The New World Symphony,” Dvorak; ( 40 1 Veit.

On February 20, several members of the orchestra gave a half-hour program over KGDM, advertising the Symphony Concert which was given in the High School Auditorium on February 23. Mr. George Knoles was the announcer. On May 6 the entire orchestra played three selections in the concert given by the Music Department. The orchestra rehearsed three times a week, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during Activity period. Mr. Sidney Halsey is the efficient director of both the band and orchestra. B. N. O. Club The B. N. O. Club was organized in 1930 for the purpose of gaining more knowledge of music. During the past year the club sponsored two musical events. On February 23. the Stockton Symphony Orchestra presented a concert under the leader- ship of Manlio Silva and on April 15, the instrumental concert of the band and orchestra students was held. This was for local high school students only. One of the social functions of the year was a trip to the snow line. The officers for the first semester were Berncace Koenig, president; Gladys Strobel, vice president; Helen Jackson, secretary and treasurer; Fink Beckman, manager. The second semester officers were Fink Beckman, president; Norma Bohnet, vice president; Paul Thommen, secretary and treasurer; Warren Lewis, manager. [ 41 ] P. H. D. Winsoi adviserj. Ray. Menrel.

Winsor................................Adviser The Aeronautics Club, which has an active membership of twenty-five boys, has been represented at two meetings each month in the study of Thorpe’s “Text of Aviation” under the able guidance of the faculty adviser. Mr. P. H. D. Winsor. Several reels of motion pictures have been exhibited showing the opera- tion and scope of the Boeing Aircraft Company's passenger service. A trip was made to the Oakland Airport where the club members were taken through the shops and class rooms of the Boeing School of Aviation. Interesting demonstrations were conducted by the instructors showing the strength and stability of airfoils under varying conditions. One interesting demonstration was that of the action of the airfoils as demonstrated in the wind tunnel test. The minimum weight with the maximum strength of rib construction was demonstrated with a harness test in which a rib was brought to its breaking point. The purpose of the Aeronautics Club is to further a practical knowledge of elementary aviation among its members. This aim is accomplished by lectures and oral discussions. The majority of the meetings have been spent in learning the theory of flight, wing construction, and similar subjects of a semi-technical nature. Much credit is due to Mr. Winsor for his intense interest in the welfare of the club. [ 42 ] Htramoto. Allwardt. Shaw. Davis. Mondavi. Metike — Kathryn Taylor adviser . Graham. Nits. Mason Ashlty.

Vice President Johnny Hiramoto Earl Allwardt....Secretary-Treasurer.... Patricia Mason Miss Kathryn Taylor — Adviser The Scholarship Society of the Lodi Union High School has in a real sense stood for “all-round attainment on the part of its members.” Nearly every student in the club has taken part in one or more extra-curricular activities besides having achieved a high scholastic standing. Regular meetings were held once a month during the Activity period, at which times programs dealing with Book Week, the Olympic Games, Wash- ington, 1). C, art, and travel were presented. Once each semester the club gave a party or picnic. At one meeting the C. S. F. entertained all the students in the school who had earned, during the first semester, at least eight of the ten points necessary for membership. 'Phis meeting, held in the music room, offered an interesting program, the purpose of which was to stimulate interest in the society, get the students acquainted with the club, and thus give them an incentive to work harder. The members for the first semester were Patricia Mason, William Meeske, Erna Fetzer, Kathrvn Graham. Johnny Hiramoto. Peter Mondavi, Esther Xies, Earl Allwardt, Edith McKenzie, W. L. Davis, Betty Jean Ashley, and Roscoe Shaw. The following qualified for the second semester: Anna Beisel. Grace Baldwin, Margaret Moore, Kiichi Hiramoto, Erna Stabbert, Mary Elizabeth Rathbun, Patricia Mason, Johnny Hiramoto, Leone Huber, and Betty Jean Ashley. Betty Jean Ashley was the only Seal Bearer this year. [ 43 ] A.ljm, Baeru-eld Seibcl. Mondavi. Holman. Callow. Loeffclbem. Troutner. Sha'tuck. Sato. Howery. Lynn. W. „°r.c ‘ Smith — Haw leu.

Walthtr Chemistry Club Under the leadership of Eddie Seifcrling, president, and Mr. Corell Smith, adviser, who were aided by Rowland Walther, vice president, and Roy Hol- man. secretary-treasurer, the Chemistry Club has had a very successful year. Interesting meetings were held twice a month during which instructive talks were given on lives of famous chemists and other appropriate topics. I he Chemisty Club visited many plants where materials undergo chem- ical processes. The members saw how paper is re manufactured at the Na- tional Fiberboard Products in Stockton. Trips were also made to the Sugar Mill at I racy, the Napa Leather Works, the Calaveras ('ement Plant, and to the California Hawaiian Sugar Mill at Crockett. The club presented a musical program in the assembly, considered one of the best assembly entertainments during the year. The musical numbers represented many nations. The American Indians were represented on the program by James Sanguinetti who interpreted the Shoshone Indian dance. Marcella Thorp, Berneace Koenig, Alfred Baerwald, John Holman, and Paul Thommen in musical arrangements depicted respectively Mexico, Hungary, Germany, and Hawaii. Raymond Rinaudo gave two accordion solos. Bruce Rowell and Norman Adams, who impersonated Negroes, carried on an amus- ing dialogue. The final number was an orchestra, representative of Japan, which featured Matsuo Okazaki and his saxophone, John Matsuhiro, with his oboe, Ruth Tanaka, clarinet, and Betty Takeuchi, piano.

Mettler Ag Club Chapter No. 1 of the Future Farmers of America has completed one of its most successful years. Ninety-eight students were enrolled in Smith- Hughes in 1931-1932. giving Lodi the largest chapter in Northern California. I he officers for the year were Charlie Faber, president; Earl Hoff, vice pres- ident : Francis Pierce, treasurer, and Marvin Mettler, secretary. The Lodi exhibitors won over $300. in premiums at state and county fairs. The landscape gardening team consisting of Edna McKindley, Ella Strother, and Eddie Jauch took first place for the second consecutive year at the first judging contest held at Davis. The grape judging team consisting of Ralph Hawley, Gus Nepote, and Francis Pierce took second place. The pomology team, judging apples and pears, placed fourth, while the truck- crop team placed fifth. Five Ag boys took animals to the San Francisco Live- Stock Show. Each boy received a top price for his animals. On December 3, Leslie Frey. Richard Cooper, and Yoshio Iwamura attended the Los Angeles Live Stock Show. The Bain Field Day was held on April 2 for a practice- judging contest. The Lodi boys won enough events to give Lodi first place. On April 15 the sectional finals were held at Davis. Seven Lodi teams were represented: tree, dairy cattle, dairy products, agronomy, agricultural mechanics, poultry, and livestock. The seven teams took fifth place in the contest while the tree team, consisting of R. Hawley, G. Nepote, and H. Mettler, took second. The agricultural mechanics team, consisting of A. Cooper, W. Peterson, and T. Kaba, also took second. The agronomy team took third, while Eldon Baldwin was high man of the contest. The livestock team placed eleventh in the contest, but first in this section, making them eligible for the state finals held at San Luis Obispo. [ 45 1 Eaton. Jacobsen. Adams. Holman. T Homme n.

Shaw Ye Olde Literary Guilde In 1929 the fourth-year English class inaugurated “Ye Olde Literary Guilde” for the purpose of gaining a greater knowledge of literature. Throughout the past three years the members have kept to that purpose by giving programs every Friday during the Guilde meetings. Besides these programs numerous outside activities were this year undertaken by the Guilde. Three basketball games were played, one between the two chapters of the Guilde, one with the Chemistry Club, and the other with the B. X. O. Club. The two chapters enjoyed a delightful party April 22 at the home of Zelma Burson. Elections of officers were held on the first Friday of each month. The following held offices: President: Laura Wall.

Haber International Club We. the members of the Lodi Chapter of the International Club, it order to help bring the youth of the world together, to develop in our own group an active interest in foreign problems, and to work toward a better solution of them than war. do formulate this constitution. This, the preamble to the constitution of the Lodi Chapter of the International Club, which held its first regular meeting on November 18, 1931, expresses the purpose of the club. In order to carry out its purposes, the club during the year invited a number of persons who had visited foreign countries to give accounts of their travels; and in order to come into closer touch with the young people of foreign countries, members sent letters to and received letters from club members in different countries. In addition, club members gave reports on foreign customs and problems. Friendliness and understanding among the youth of the world are said to be the best means for avoiding war. The international Club hopes to establish this understanding and friendliness. The club sponsored a ten-ccnt assembly on May 11. 1932. The program included a play, “Two Crooks and a Lady, the cast of which was as follows: Miller.” Will Troutner; “Lucille,” Evelyn Weltv; Mrs. Simms-Vane.” Edith McKenzie; “Miss James,” Alice Field; Police Inspector,” Norman Adams; “Garrity,” Paul Thommen. The officers of the club arc Paul Thommen, president; Bill Lange, vice president; Leone Huber, secretary; Alice Field, corresponding secretary; Robert Frey, treasurer; Howard Morton, publicity manager; and Mr. Evan Borst, faculty adviser.

I 51 J Open House On Monday evening, April 25, Lodi Union High School held open house. 'Phis affair is Lodi’s annual contribution in the state-wide commemoration of Public Schools Week. Probably 1000 people visited the various departments to see the displays. The outstanding features of the evening were the exhibits of the shop, home economics, art. and Spanish classes. The classes in agriculture planned two displays, one of specimens of shrubbery inside, and the other of livestock out of doors in front of the shop. 'Phis part of the exhibit resembled a county fair, in that pigs, cows, and chickens were on display. In the shop there were boats and many other student projects. The forges were in operation and embryo auto mechanics were busily engaged repairing automobiles and tractors. Many farm implements made by the boys were exhibited. The two second-year Spanish classes presented a program in Spanish which consisted of two short skits, “Las Viajeras” and “Don Enrique Va a Los Estados,” and a group of Spanish songs sung by Marcella Thorp with guitar acompaniment by Paul Thommcn. Red roses and Spanish broom were used for decoration. The exhibition of the science classes included a menagerie in the biology room, and experiments in the chemistry and physics rooms. Odors, the buzz of electric sparks, and snakes were all in evidence in the Science building. The kitchen of the cafeteria was of interest to many visitors, who also patronized the refreshment counter. Home economics classes had their notebooks and dresses displayed. On Friday, April 30, they also presented a fashion show in connection with the program provided by the Masonic Lodge to stimulate interest in the public schools. The orchestra also participated in this program. They provided the music for the fashion show and played several excellent numbers at various intervals during the evening. Swimming, basketball, and a number of other sports went on in the gym- nasium. The large crowd of visitors enjoyed watching the swimmers. Many visitors saw the library for the first time. Here also they saw some books, literary maps, and posters displayed by the English classes. Flowers from the school gardens added to the attractiveness of this display. The art classes showed many colorful designs in various types of art. In the typing room many machines were manipulated for the visitors, while each step in the “evolution of a typist” was also portrayed. A unique exhibit of notebooks and posters in the Latin room indicated the influence of Latin upon modern English. Models of many Roman articles and carved heads and figures in soap showed the ingenuitv of those interested in Latin. Social science classes combined in an exhibit in Room 23. Mathematics classes also welcomed many visitors. The exhibit of the Americanization classes showed very conclusively that those enrolled find joy and satisfaction in their work. Open House Night is now an established custom which is becoming very popular with both the students and the public.

Hadn’t he just invited her to the Alpha dance? To a fr’jyftf girl just eighteen and in high school that means a lot. She was the Bvg only girl in high school that was going, and every one envied her. She had never even dreamed he would invite her. Why, he had only ------ known her two weeks! He would be magnificent in a dress suit. He looked like —well, a football hero, and he was gorgeously tanned, too. The invitation had arrived yesterday, her birthday, because things like that always come in pairs. It was a little grey note with lovely silver en- graving. and she had laid it on her dressing table where she could look every time she went by. After the dance she planned to put it in her “Mem- ory Book.” The book wouldn’t be complete without it! Then the next morning Joan left the window in her room open, «and a little gust of wind picked the note up and sailed it to the floor, landing it directly under a blue jacket that was hanging on a chair. Carrie found it there, and picked it up. She looked around and saw the jacket. Naturally she sup- posed the note had fallen from one of the pockets, so she put it in the left one, and went on about her work. At one o’clock Joan was nearly in tears. She questioned everybody in the house, beginning with Dickie, aged five, until she came to Carrie. “Did you see a little grey note with silver engraving that was on my dressing table?” she asked her. “I’m sure I put it there, but I can t find it anvwherc now!” “Why —oh! Was it grey, with silver engraving?” Carrie suddenly remembered. “I found it on the floor and I put it in the pocket of that little blue jacket of vours. I didn't know that—.” Joan was already running up the stairs. When she reached the room, she gasped. It’s not here!” she wailed. “But I hung it here this morning.” Mother came in at that moment to find out what all the fuss was about. Joan turned to her. “Oh. Mumsic, have you seen that little blue jacket I hung here this morning?” “Why, of course, dear. You said last week that it was getting old, and you wished you could get rid of it. so this morning I sent it to the Salvation Army.” “The Salvation Army! But where is it. mother? I must have the jacket!” “Why, in the building down town next to the News Office.” “At ftiver’s Mark Square?” “Yes, dear, but surely—.” Joan dashed into a closet, came out with a sport coat halfway on, and galloped down the stairs. It usually took her about half an hour to drive to River’s Mark Square, but today it took her exactly sixteen minutes. It might have been less, but for the traffic cops on every corner. Joan ran into a large building with a dignified archway, and. seeing the painted signs, rang the bell of the first office on the left. The door opened and a competent looking woman with iron grey hair and thick-rimmed glasses asked her to come in. Joan panted: “Have you seen a little blue j«ickct that Mother sent in this morning? It had a note in one of the pockets that is very important to me.” The woman opened a big green ledger. [ 55 ] “Oh, yes, I remember the blue coat. That went to Miss Jenson. She lives in the apartment house over on Morrison Street. You have probably heard of her. She works at Durham's, you know.” Joan thanked her and tore out to the car again. “Morrison Street?” she thought to herself, I—oh, yes! That’s where Nancy’s cook came from. It’s somewhere near the river.” She drove to the apartment in record time. She ran up the narrow iron steps and rang the bell. It was answered by a rather large woman in a pink-and-orange ruffled apron. Joan begged to see “Miss — why what was that woman’s name?” “I think it was Johnson — or Henson — or something like that!” Joan finished desperately. “Anyway, she works at Durham’s.” “Let me see—.” The landlady began to count on her fingers. “Miss Chaney works at the drug store, and Airs. Donald helps her husband keep b(Kiks at Collin’s, and Julie works in the cigar store, and — oh yes, there’s a new one, just moved in. I'll see if that’s her.” She disappeared down a drab hallway and Joan was left impatiently tapping her fingernail on the iron bannister. After an interminable minute the orange-and-pink apron returned, leading a dark little woman with long, straight hair. “This is her. all right,” she beamed, and was rewarded by a radiant smile from Joan. The landlady stepped inside again. Perhaps she was wondering if she hadn’t rather ignored the new tenant a little too much. Outside Joan was talking to the dark woman. “They told me at the Salvation Army Office that they sent a blue jacket over here this morning,” she stated. “There was a note in one of the pockets that I must have. I wonder if I could get it?” Why ves’m, of course—” the woman was dazed— “but I haven’t got it right now. I sent it over to Mrs. Daly’s to get the sleeves fixed. You can get it there.” Joan’s hand went to her head, but she kept her composure. “Where does Mrs. Daly live?” “At 4270 South Gordon Street,— oh, no, it’s 2470! But maybe it is 4270. You had better try both. I can’t remember which it is.” Joan wrote the two addresses down on a slip of paper, and remembering to thank the woman in spite of her haste, got into the car again. She tried 2470 first, but 2470 was a grocery store, so she drove on down the narrow streets until at last she came to a shabby little smoke-colored house, cramped between two newer tall brick buildings. There was a tiny patch of grey grass in front of it. where the sun never shone. Mrs. Daly herself answered the doorbell, and Joan began again, “Miss Jenson tells me she sent a little blue jacket here this morning. There is a note in one of the pockets that I want very much. Could I — may I have it?” “Oh, sure. Miss, jest a minute,” she answered, and went back to look for it. In about five minutes—five hours it seemed to Joan—the woman returned. “Here it is, Miss, but there ain’t any note in the pockets.” It was true. They were empty. Joan stared. Then, mumuring a faint word of thanks, she slowly walked back to the car. She traced her way along the dismal crowded streets until she found herself again in the more familiar garden-lined ones. She soon reached her own home, where she put the car into the garage and went straight up to her room. She closed the door and sat down on the bed staring into space. She couldn’t cry. She had gone beyond that. She even began to wonder how much,— but not knowing, she dismissed the thought as quite unnecessary. Hours seemed to have passed, when there was a knock on the door. I 56 ] “Yes?” Joan responded wearily. Her mother came in softly. “Did you have any luck, dear?” she asked. Joan shook her head mournfully. “Too bad! but I can’t really see any reason for your wanting that old jacket. It was much too small for you anyway.” She started to leave briskly, then paused as if remembering something. “Oh, Joan, I found this on the floor in here this morning.” She drew a grey card from her pocket and held it toward Joan. “You are so careless with such things. I thought you might want it for your ‘Memory Book.’” With a little groan Joan flopped back into the pillows. “Don’t you want it? I—.” Suddenly she stopped short. Then she gazed at her daughter for a long minute. “Oh.” she said, “I see.” She went out and closed the door softly behind her, smiling to herself.

This afternoon she was sitting in her room, by the window in the sun. She liked the sun because it gave her a feeling of life. She disliked her age very much and, although she spoke of it to no one, she had a great fear of death. She longed to be young again and to do as the youth of today did. Sometimes she told herself that she hadn’t a fear of death, but just a longing to be young again. She had never had the advantages of present-day youth, and she wanted them. It seemed to her that everyone just took her for granted and did nothing to brighten her life. She felt that if they wouldn’t leave her alone so much, she wouldn’t have that fear which kept going back and forth in her brain. Hearing a door steal softly open, she looked up. Her oldest great-grand- child, Betty, stood with her hand on the knob. Everyone else had gone off somewhere and now here was Betty prepared to depart. Betty, seeing the longing in her grandmother’s eyes, said, “I was just going to spend the afternoon with June, Grandmother, but if you want me to stay with you, I will.” “No, I like to be alone sometimes. Now you run along and have a good time.” The door closed gently. A few minutes later a mist gathered before the pair of old eyes up in the front window as they watched Betty drive away from the house. If only Betty had been there with her! But youth is youth, and it, too, wants company. It would be wrong, of course, to spoil someone else’s afternoon. A young person would not want to sit and talk for hours to an old ladv, now would she! As the sun of late afternoon glowed through the windows, Grandmother somehow felt her views on life and death changing. She found herself won- dering if death were not refuge from youth and her longing for it. Perhaps it might be a going from this life into another life more real — perhaps, a life of youth for always and always. Suddenly, she felt unusually tired and gradually her head drooped. Several hours later Betty returned home. She parked the car in the driveway and fairly flew up to grandmother’s room. June’s tea had been perfectly lovely! There were the engagement cups, and such Italian linens! Grandmother would be so interested! The white head in the high winged chair had drooped to one side. The fingers over the knitting in her lap were so strangely quiet — and white. “Grandmother.” No response. “Grandmother, Grandmother!” HE was an old, old lady. Her stringy gray hair was tied in a knot at the back of her head. She was very small and her face and hands were very wrinkled, and had a shrivelled appearance. Although everyone knew that she was very old, no one knew just how old she was. No one had ever asked her and she had never told. CUa Unrl civ tulrlnMrr� n nnfl hvp crr it-t rntwI- I 58 1 'Who's a Dummy? BRUCE ROWELL Honorable Mention ORK! Work! Work!!! Mrs. Pierce, clad in a soiled working dress, rose laboriously to her feet. As she glanced down at her shapely and beautiful hand's which were temporarily reddened and blistered she made a decision with which she had been struggling for several days Mrs. Pierce, who only a year ago had been a Miss Lois Owen wondered as she sped swiftly toward her home as a second-class pas sengcr on an east-bound train, if she had done right in quitting her job. True it had brought in a few extra dollars to add to her husband’s meager income — but was it worth it? Some day Cedric Pierce would get his big chance. . . Then they would be all right ... Till then ? She guessed they could get along People had wondered why Lois had married Cedric. In fact, she some- times found herself wondering — in fits of depression! He was poor — yet ambitious, and like herself he came from a family that had a good standing socially, if not financially. Most of the gossip, though, was about Cedric’s prison record. A determined light shone in Lois’s light brown eyes and her jaw squared as the thought flashed through her mind. Cedric was a sculptor — at least that was what he hoped and intended to be, and that was what both he and Lois thought he was cut out for — yet marble cost money and one must live while engaged in the apparently endless task of changing a rough block of marble into a finished creation. Cedric had realized that he needed money to get his start and money to marry Lois. Most geniuses are tempermental — Cedric was unusually so. He was also rather headstrong and impractical. To get the money the scarcity of which kept him from realizing his two greatest goals, he resorted to the simple expedient of relieving a bank messenger of the bank’s money. For this crime, which he had committed while in a tempermental streak, Cedric had spent several years — long, weary years — behind the dark, dreary walls of the penitentiary....Lois shuddered as she recalled the words with which Cedric had described his experience there. It was different though, now'. Cedric had reformed .... at least so she hoped and believed. She realized, however, that he had not lost his temperment; that was one of the reasons — she corrected herself — that was the chief reason she had married Cedric when she did. She had faith in him. She loved him, and she knew that he needed her guiding supervision. Under the circumstances what else should she or could she have done?........ Lois had finally reached her destination and was mounting the steps to her modest home where she knew' she would probably find Cedric working in his little workshop in the rear of the house. She had made Cedric realize that if he were ever to be a truly great artist he should get started. That meant get money and get it in a hurry, so he had begun making wax models for department stores. It was easy work for Cedric, true artist that he was. Under his deft, swift-working fingers the wax quickly took human form. He amused himself and incidentally, unknowingly pleased his customers by putting startlingly human expressions upon the usual conventional features of the wax models. Lois found the front door unlocked, so she quietly opened it and slipped I 59 ] inside. At least, she smiled to herself, she would give Cedric a pleasant sur- prise by her unexpected return. He had been against her working from the first, but she had convinced him that she was right. Now he would be glad to see that she had changed her mind. She had tiptoed the length of the hall now and was just ready to open the door of Cedric’s workshop when angry voices from within startled her. “If you don’t, you know what will happen to you! You’ll never—” the voice, a strange one to Lois, trailed oft to a low threatening whisper. Fear welled up in her heart. Was she too late? Had her husband in her absence again become entangled in some shady transaction? If he had — her thoughts were cut short by her husband’s voice which rang out loud, clear, and defiant. “No, Cascratti, you’ll never keep me from it. You know as well as I do that you’ll cash in big on this — and you’ll have a hard time finding anyone else with the ability to do it. Besides,’’ Cedric’s voice dropped to a low tri- umphant tone as he played what seemed to be his ace— “the less people know about this the better for you .... Don’t forget that!” Lois, still standing bewildered outside in the hall, was suddenly startled by the turning of the knob of Cedric’s door. The stranger was evidently leaving. Lois darted across the hall and concealed herself in her bedroom where she could see the visitor emerging. He paused in the doorway and called back to Cedric who remained at the rear of the shop, “O. K.. kid. You win. Clean the guy up and I’ll see what I can do with him.’’ With this he banged the door and stamped off down the hall, evidently in a towering ill- humor. Lois was trembling like a leaf .... She had taken an instinctive fear of the swarthy face of the nocturnal visitor and her husband’s low mutterings did not ease her mind. Cedric had only muttered like that once before. That was the day he had robbed the bank messenger. She knew that he was intensely excited now — a condition which, in the variable mind of a genius might produce criminal insanity. Fearful, lest her unexpected appearance might affect Cedric in just that way, Lois decided to spend the night at her sister’s house about a mile across the city, a place where she had sought refuge several times before when Cedric had had fits of temperment. He was im- possible at such times. Accordingly she slipped from the house and set out afoot for her destina- tion. Her active brain was arranging and sorting the various bits of informa- tion she had gained from the conversation she had overheard. The cool air of the evening was clearing her muddled brain. Here was her husband being involved in some business with a foreigner. And judging from their tones and remarks the business was one which must be kept under cover. Cedric’s words, “The less people know about this the better it will be for you,” and the stranger’s answer. “O. K. kid, you clean the guy up. I’ll see what I can do with him,” flashed through her mind. Suddenly Lois stopped dead still—her lips parted in a stifled frightened cry as the full meaning of those sinister words dawned upon her clearing brain. “Good God! Robbery was bad — but murder!” She had whirled about and was running breathlessly back to her home — to Cedric. Yes, she had heard of Cal Apone, of the gang-lords of Chicago who hired men to “bump off” their competitors in the “rackets,” yet she had never thought she or Cedric would run up against them .... The drooping, black, oily mustache, the ferret-eyes of the stranger seemed to stand before her, menacingly. She saw a noose — an electric chair! I 60 J Lois had lost her high heeled shoes — and was sprinting down the street which was deserted at this hour. Her golden hair was streaming in the wind and her clothing, like her mind, was wildly disarranged. A cab passed and both driver and passenger stared incredulously at her fleeting figure. She reached the steps of her house — tore open the door and rushed down the hall. A moment later she burst into Cedric’s room. A scene of wild disorder met her eyes. Cedric, who was bending over a prostrate form on his bed, jumped up at her unceremonious entry. As he rose, Lois saw a man on the bed — the ferret-eyes — the oily mustache. It was the stranger! But — Lois’ eyes were clouded by tears as she ran across the room to Cedric —the Italian’s shiny black clothes which had been immaculate when he had left earlier in the evening were now rumpled and — bloody! Lois glanced at Cedric again. In his hand he held a rag which was smeared with red. Yes, he had been cleaning those red stains from the man, the bed, the floor! Cedric found his voice— “Lois! We’re rich! Now — now I’ll be a real sculptor—” his voice broke in his eagerness. Lois was too bewildered to talk. Dumb with the terror of this bloody «act. she pointed accusingly at the figure which lay sprawled across the bed in a position impossible for a living being. Cedric followed her gaze — he did not burst as Lois had expected. He ran a trembling hand through his disarranged hair and smiled — smiled. Lois closed her eyes in agony. . . . Was the man mad? Cedric led her to the figure. Dazedly she followed, staring speechless at the cold, pale face. Cedric raised the man’s hand and showed Lois the small tag which was tied there. As she read it amazement, curiosity, then a vague understanding spread over her face. The card read : TONY CASERATTI and CEDRIC PIERCE Department Store Dummies The New Movie Star Models a Specialty Telephone 3710 404 Fulton Street Chicago, Illinois Again Lois pointed to the figure on the bed. “But—I—I don’t understand — what’s he for?’’ Cedric smiled broadly, showing his regular, white teeth. “This Italian, Tony Caseratti, realizes that he has difficult features to duplicate — that if I could model him successfully I could do any actor or actress easily. This,” Cedric looked down at the dummy, “is a sample of my work. Slick fellow, Tony. When he was here, though, he upset a can of red paint on his ‘double.’ T hat s what makes the poor fellow look as though he had been in a fight. Well, to get on with my story, I go to Hollywood to make models of the stars. Tony stays back here to sell them to the big department stores. They’ll go over big — and say, Lois old girl — will we make money! Oh, boy! The department stores pay us for the dummies and the stars pay us to pose for the sake of the publicity they get — and. of course, our only expenses are the cost of manufacturing the models!” “And that,” said Mrs. Pierce, fondly running her hand over the smooth features of a marble statue, “is how my husband got his start.” The news- paper reporter scribbled industriously in his notebook. “Thanks,” he said, as he rose to go. “From a wax-modeler to the winner in the International Exhibition and receiver of a Carnegie medal. It’ll make a swell headline!” 1 61 ] The Flapper Zinnia CHARLOTTE DUGDALE Honorable Mention The zinnia is the flapper of the garden world. The jibes of smaller flowers each day are hurled at her. About her brightly painted lips and tinted cheeks And over-powdered nose; The gaudiest, showiest flower That grows in the garden! Strong and sturdy she raises her painted face Above the dainty, old fashioned flowers. A slim, fair maiden — shears in hand treads the garden walk. Snip—snip— Poor flapper zinnia! A Rainy Day ELSIE KLIPFEL I Fresh green and gray against a melancholy sky, Houses washed clean of earthly stains, Fallen leaves, crushed lifeless but gay, in slushy gutters, Gray clouds, twisting and coiling like writhing serpents, Sweet green grass, washed right out of heaven, The clean intermingling smells of trees, flowers, earth, with buckets of dew. Earth-worms, lying dead and broken on the sidewalk, A curl of smoke, spiralling gracefully into damp air, A laughing girl in a red tarn, her pert little nose sniffing the air, like some young deer, Gay children in half socks and bright sweaters. II The school, rearing its pillars in omniscient repose, gesturing, inviting, commanding us to come, The cloak-room, all smells and warmth and chatter, A swarm of lovely girls putting on complexions, The typing room, with all its windows set just right for watching clouds. Noon: a sudden surge of talk, rushing to get back, then study again. Flying afternoon and a scurry for the cloak-room, Swiftness never dreamed of, and wraps arc on. Students flow out the door and disappear to nowhere. III Life, crushed beyond recognition, lies in gutters. The wind is still and trees are half empty of their burdens. A streak of brightness lighting up the gray, and Dark comes, creeping from the east. The rainy day is done, but not the night. 1 62 ) fO (31 fO G1 fD C51IZ3 CJI O [j| Silvia Mayberry Junior Play The Junior Class presented Skidding.” a clever three-act comedy, to a large and appreciative audience January 22, 1932.

Cain I 63 ) “SEVEN TO ONE March 18, 1932, a group of eight Senior girls presented “Seven to One,” a clever and amusing one-act play, for the Girls’ Association assembly program, under the direction of Margaret Thompson, Senior representative. The cast was as follows: Joan Ainslee, Alice Field; Madge Allen, Doris Miner; Gloria Rutherford, Marcia Zclvcr; Barbara Kingston, Clovis Michels; Virginia Howe, Evelyn Wclty; Vivienne Carey, Betty Jean Ashley; Dulcinea Dale, Dorothy Van Gclder; Elizabeth Grey, Gladys Schomo. Preceding the program, selections were played by a trio composed of members of the Girls’ Association orchestra: Alice Field, Berneace Koenig, and Dorothy Harshner, with June Kern as accompanist. “A DOMESTIC ENTANGLEMENT” For the February meeting of the Girls’ Association the Freshman girls, under the direction of Charlotte Dugdale, Freshman representative, presented a varied program, the main feature of which was a snappy one-act play, “A Domestic Entanglement.” The cast included: the mother, Dorothea Godfrey; the daughters, Jane Keller, Patricia Mason, Dorothea Lange; the cook, Marjorie Field; the maid, Bernice Smith; the doctor, Charlotte Dugdale. “THOUGHTLESS GIVING” For the December meeting of the Girls’ Association nine Sophomore girls, under the direction of Patsy Cole, presented “Thoughtless Giving,” a one- act play portraying the too frequent selfishness of charity workers. The following ably acted the parts: Mrs. Spring. Marian Peterson; Mrs. Breezy, Phyllis Lausten; Mrs. Lancaster, Doris Patrick; Grace Lancaster, Marian Moore; Mrs. Redding. Goldie Johnson ; Mrs. Smith, Frances Williams; Mrs. Aldrich, Addine Handel; Mrs. Brown, Selma Leetzow; Mrs. Brock, Lorraine Miller. “FLAME” STAFF PROGRAM The “Flame” Staff presented the first assembly program of the year November 20, 1932, under the direction of Ella Strother. The first number was a Negro tap dance by Marjorie Declusin, followed by two selections sung by the Boys’ Quartet, composed of Alfred Baerwald, Herbert Loeffel- bein, Bill Troutncr, and Paul Thommen. The following cast dramatized selections from “Uncle Tom’s Cabin:” Topsy, Jean Rouse; Eva. Dorothy Benton; Aunt Ophelia St. Clair, Marjorie Harney; Augustine St. Clair, Orvill Fletcher. Raymond Rinaudo played two accordion solos. The program was both injoyable and successful. WASHINGTON'S DAY PROGRAM Friday, February 19. a program was presented in commemoration of the bi-centennial of George Washington’s birthday. The program over which Norman Adams presided consisted of the following: a recitation by the mixed chorus, a selection by the Boys’ Quartet, a minuet dance by ten Freshman girls, a talk on Washington’s love of trees and three short plays, “Valley Forge,” “Traits of George Washington’s Childhood,” and “Braddock’s De- feat,” written by students. As a conclusion to the program. Bob Mondavi, on behalf of the Seniors, presented an elm tree to the school. Carl Mettler, president of the Student Body, accepted the gift. The tree was planted on Arbor Day. I 64 1 THE PLAYERS Billf. Stvtn to Ont. Chtm program. Dr. Pill Box Scores Again. Musical Program by Junior Girls. Tiro Crooks and a Lad9 I 65 ) SENIOR PLAY, “BILLY “Billy,” a modern three-act play full, of sparkling comedy, written by George Cameron, was the presentation of the Senior Class on Class Night, June 3. Robert Mondavi in the role of Billy, a football hero who loses his front teeth in a big game and is very sensitive about his new ones, was very clever. So also was Lydia Seibel in her part of Billy’s long-suffering young sister, who is sent on a trip to Havana with him to shield him from the cruel world. Doris Miner portraying Beatrice Sloane, Billy’s sweetheart, whom he almost loses because he can’t explain several mysteries, and Charles Crete as Sam Eustace, Billy’s rival for fame and Beatrice, were very good. Elizabeth Campbell, who took the part of the German stewardess, caused much laughter in her attempt to be accommodating. Other members of the cast were: The fond parents of Billy and Alice The ambitious mother of Beatrice .. The auctioneer .................... The ship’s crew — Captain .........................

Eddie Seiferling, president of the club, presided as an Indian squaw. Jimmy Sanguinetti, as Chief Sketty Eagle Feather, danced two Indian dances which were authentic reproductions of those danced by a Wyoming tribe. Marcella Thorp, as a Spanish senorita, sang two num- bers. She was accompanied on the piano by Paul Thommen. Norman Adams and Bruce Rowell, as two Negro boys, presented a clever skit. Representing a Gypsy girl, Berneace Koenig, accompanied bv her sister. Eleanor, played two Hungarian numbers on her violin. Alfred Baerwald interpreted a German singer with a popular song, Paul Thommen accompaning. Raymond Rinaudo, representing an Italian signor, played two selections on his accordion. John Holman and Paul Thommen played their guitars in true Hawaiian fashion. A Japanese orchestra, including Matsuo Okazaki, John Matsuhiro, Ruth Tanaka, and Betty Takeuchi, played two numbers. “TWO CROOKS AND A LADY” On May 11. members of the International Club sponsored “Two Crooks and a Lady,” a modern one-act play, built around an attempt to steal a di- amond necklace. Edith McKenzie, as a helpless, yet nevertheless, a very wise invalid, portrayed her part very well. William Troutncr, who succumbed to the tactics of the old lady, was very good as the wily crook. The following composed the cast: Miller, William Troutncr; Lucille, Evelyn Welty; Mrs. Simms Vane, Edith McKenzie; Miss Jones, Alice Field; Garritv, Paul Thommen; Inspector, Norman Adams. Mrs. Eleanor Blanchard directed the play. I 66 ] Rita Moroni Yell Leaders Fithet. Sanguinetti. Faber. Spooner. Campbell FOOTBALL Playing their second year under the big night-lights the Flames turned out one of the fastest and best blocking teams ever to play under the Red and White of Lodi High. Led by Captain Roscoe Shaw playing at tackle, the Lodians swamped a large number of their opponents. The Flames suffered only one defeat at the hands of a high school team. Richmond High defeating the Flames in the first game of the season. This defeat was washed away later in the season, however, by Lodi’s decisive victory over Santa Rosa. North Coast champions. Seiferling, Okazaki, Mondavi, and Rolf Hagen formed a backfield which can be justly called the Four Horsemen of Northern California. Combining speed with power, and using deception along with well timed passes, they proved to be more than a match for the visiting teams. Captain Shaw, Okazaki, Moore, and Hagen were named on every all- sectional team. McClure and Mondavi were named on most of the sectional teams. Too much honor cannot be given Coach Barney Hagen and his assistants for their work in turning out one of the finest squads Lodi has had. LODI, 0— RICHMOND, 14 Lodi started her season on September 25 in a very unsucessful manner by losing a 0-14 affair at Richmond. This score, however, did not indicate the true strength of the teams, as Lodi held the upper hand for over half the game. A long runback of a punt and a quick march while Lodi was still off balance spelled defeat for Lodi. LODI. 25 — SAN JOSE, 0 Good use of interference ami well timed blocking were responsible for the 25-0 score of Lodi over San Jose on October 2. Seiferling. fleet quarter, started the show, aided by clever blocking, by running 75 yards to score late in the first period. The fact that the Flames took advantage of breaks and used well-timed power-plays, along with Okazaki’s twisting runs, produced the remaining scores of the game. I 67 1 N. S. C. I. F.

Seiferling LODI, 26—WOODLAND, 18 Hindered l� v sickness and injuries, the Flames had a hard time taking a 26-18 battle from the Wolves on October 10. Sammy Diggs, colored flash of the Northerners, gave the Lodians no end of trouble with his quick, shifty runs. Mondavi, Lodi fullback, was the star of the game, however, and he battered the Wolves’ line to shreds in scoring two of Lodi’s touchdowns and making the others possible. Rolf Hagen, playing defensive fullback, was out- standing for Lodi on defense, as was also Captain Roscoe Shaw. LODI. 28 —SACRAMENTO, 0 A slow start, but a finish of tremendous power and blinding speed, spelled defeat for the visiting Dragons in the first league game on October 16. The Lodi defense had trouble in solving the Sacramento system of play throughout the first quarter, but early' in the second quarter Lodi shoved the ball over after Sacramento lost it on downs deep in her own territory. From this point on Lodi had little trouble in runnrig up three more scores, two on shifty runs by Okazaki and one on a power drive from mid- field. Hagen was outstanding in his blocking, especially in clearing the way for the start of Okazaki’s runs, A hik Wittmayer played an outstanding game at guard. It was in this Dragon game that the Flames first showed that wonderful teamwork which was destined to make football history for Lodi. LODI, 22—MODESTO, 7 After a bad start, the Flames came from behind to humble the Modestans by a 22 to 7 score on October 30. A Lodi fumble within her own ten-yard line paved the way for Modesto’s score shortly after the opening kick-off. I 68 ] N. S C I. F. CHAMPIONS Moore. Brentlinger. Hog. A. Cooper. Crete Lodi, however, was not to he disheartened, and the Flames scored late in the first quarter and remained in control, except for a few minutes in the third period, for the remainder of the game. Seiferling scored the second touchdown for the Flames on a jaunt from the Modesto 35 marker late in the second quarter. Modesto made her threat late in the third quarter on a series of passes which advanced the hall to the Lodi seven-yard line. McClure, Lodi center, put an end to all Modesto hopes, however, when he intercepted a pass and. due to perfect blocking by fellow-players, ran ninety-three yards to a touchdown. A safety gave Lodi the remaining points during the first part of the fourth quarter. The entire backfield, along with McClure, Hoff and Shaw in the line, showed up excep- tionally well in this game. LODI. 6— STOCKTON. 0 Hindered because of a damp, sloppy field on November 13, the Flames were unable to make their speed attack function. A power march down the field, plus a quick stab through the air. was responsible for the Lodi victory. Clever blocking, good receiving and accurate passing brought six points to the Flames. Mondavi carried the ball from mid-field to the Stockton 20 on a series of line bucks. At this point Seiferling dropped back and tossed a well-timed pass to Okazaki who, aided by Cooper’s blocking out of two men, scored standing up. I'his was the only score of the game, and the remainder of the battle was fought almost entirely in mid-field. Alustiza, fullback of the Tarzans, who had battered all other opposing 1 69 j N. S. C. I. F. CHAMPIONS Cencirulo. Andctton. McClure. Seibcl f manager }. Wittmayer. Runnel$ lines to shreds, was unable to make any headway through Lodi’s forward wall, which, backed by the sterling Rolf Hagen, refused to allow the Tarzan backs any liberties whatsoever. Hagen seemed to see through all attempts at deception and was the out- standing defensive man of the day. The entire team played clever head-up football throughout the game and. had it not been for their handicap (a light team on a slippery field), would have, beyond a doubt, won by a much larger score. Cooper, Shaw, and Cencirulo, pint-sized guard, along with the rest, performed exceptionally well on offense, nearly equalling Rolf Hagen in blocking. Seiferling is to be congratulated on his handling of the team, and, along with Okazaki, he was outstanding in his defense against forward passes. Six games won out of nine games played is Lodi’s record in the annual “Big Game” of the year with Stockton, and with Barney Hagen and Matsuo Okazaki back behind the guns next year, there should be another Lodi victory. LODI. 27 —SANTA ROSA, 14 Taking advantage of every opportunity which presented itself, the Flames defeated the visiting Panthers in a charity game on the afternoon of Novem- ber 28 by a 27-14 score. These chances were few against the hard-hitting football which the visiting stalwarts produced, but so well did Lodi grasp these opportunities that every man in the backfield scored. Okazaki started things with a weav- ing sixty-eight-yard run made possible through his own ability and his team- mates well-timed interference. This initial score came earlv in the second 1 70 ] quarter, and before the quarter had ended Lodi scored again in a full drive ending with a twenty-eight-yard jaunt by Seiferling which ended the first half's scoring. The Santa Rosans, champions of the North Coast C. I. 1 . for two years, did not admit defeat without a game battle, however, and early in the third quarter the Panther captain, Hood, went around end for a fifty-two-yard gallop to score. The Flames took the kick-off and ended the visitors’ hopes for outscoring the speedy Grape-center boys, however, by scoring on a series of line bucks and end runs, along with two well-timed Seiferling-to-Okazaki passes. With the scores 21-7, Santa Rosa took to the air, and made her last score on a long pass which made the Panther’s hopes seem brighter. Late in the final stanza, backed up against their own goal line, the visitors heaved a long pass, which was intercepted by Rolf Hagen, who ran thirty yards for a score. Fisher, a heavy, powerfully built fellow, smashed through the Flames' line almost at will during the f'irst quarter and gave the lighter Flame team no end of trouble throughout the entire game. The visitors made fourteen first downs to Lodi’s nine, but the Flames stood on the long end of the score by a mere 13 points, and that, at the present time, is the method of determin- ing the winner. These outstanding teams, one having weight, power and a hard-running attack, against the blocking, clever open-field running and smoother teamwork of a lighter team, were principals in a game full of football thrills from start to finish. LODI, 18— RED BLUFF, 13 Long, shifty runs, excellent punting and a stubborn defense, along with master blocking, were the factors responsible for Lodi’s 18-13 victory over Red Bluff for the Northern C. I. F. championship on December 5. FIRST TEAM SUBS Robertson. Sehmiedt. Sherman. Eproton. Daly. Perrin - Knee. Engel. Holmes. C. Cooper. Slender. Wolf [ 71 1 Red Bluff can be justly hailed as the greatest prep team ever to come out of the North and challenge the Central section's football supremacy. A hard- hitting attack, combined with well-timed passing, made the “big guns of the Harlan Lee coached team. The margin by which they missed carrying back to the North her first Northern C. I. F. championship can be more greatly appreciated when it is known that only seconds were left in the first half when the deciding play of the game started. Red Bluff had just scored her second touchdown, making the score 13-12 in her favor, and Lodi chose to receive. Seiferling took the ball and, with a brilliant change of pace, ran ninety-three yards to a touchdown, the deciding and last score of the game. Okazaki, as usual, started the game with a twisting run for a sixty-yard jaunt to score. This score was made possible through Crete’s taking out of the last man and paving a way for the flying midget. The other score was made through Seiferling's hard running and Mondavi’s line bucking, while both of Red Bluff’s scores came from the air, with Frank Freitas doing the hurling. The visiting Northerners also used an end-around play which functioned far too often for Lodi’s comfort. Dray. Red Bluff fullback, and Mondavi, Lodi’s welter-weight wonder, vied for power-play honors of the day, with neither seeming to gain supremacy. Rolf Hagen featured with his usual smooth blocking, while Shaw, Lodi captain, and L. Freitas, mammoth visiting tackle, turned in excellent game in the line. Lodi’s quarter and hero of the day, Seiferling, was forced to leave the game late in the third quarter because of a leg injury, and his absence han- dicapped the Flames to a great extent throughout the remainder of the game.

Coached by Verne Hoff- man. this team, among other victories, defeated the Stockton Seconds three times, took Mount Diablo by a 7-0 count and swamped the Roseville Seconds by a 33-0 score. They also played lone, defeating them by a 7-0 score. In the annual Armistice game with the Placerville A team, the B squad were bested in experience and weight, factors which they could not overcome. Outstanding on this year’s second team were Captain Sato, center; Clifton Cooper and Lind, ends; Berner, Bischel. Thiel, and Unternaher, in the backfield; Thompson and Pope, at guards, and I rev, at tackle. Nearly all of these boys have one or more years of football left, and from them will the future football machines of Lodi High be built. Inexperienced but willing, young but husky, and wrong in many ways but willing to learn, these boys are splendid material for coming years. A large amount of credit should also go to Assistant Coaches Crandall and Abbott, who gave willingly a large amount of their time toward the de- velopment of this team. Mr. Crandall will have full command of the second team next year, as this year’s coach, Mr. Hoffman, is to be head basketball coach next year. 1 73 ] Roscoc Shaw Roy Ccncirulo Clyde Moore Robert Mondavi Charles Crete SWEATERS IN FOOTBALL Paul McClure Albert Cooper Russel Brentlinger Eddie Seiferling Robert Anderson William Scibcl, Senior Mgr.

This was partly due to the fact that they were unable to start practicing until the second week in December. Lack of good material was also a very prominent reason for the past season’s failure. This failure should be responsible, however, for all of the good players in Lodi High reporting for practice in 1932-’33. The boys displayed fight at all times, but seemed to lack that finishing touch which is the mark of a good basketball team. Teamwork was also very scarce in this year’s Flame team, and it is hoped that co-operation will be the key to success in future years. Biff Hoffman, who coached the 1931-’32 B squad, will be head coach next year, and intends to start practicing in September. This should be a decided improvement over the past year, as Barney Hagen was kept busy by football until December 5. Daly was the outstanding player on this year’s squad and along with Captain-elect Doug Engel, should form a strong defense upon which to build the 1932-’33 team. I 75 ) Hoffman fcoach . Rapatee.

WaSther CLASS B Led by Captain Jimmy Sanguinetti, the Class B basketball team enjoyed a far more successful season than did their big brothers, the Unlimited. Using a speed attack most of the time, they won half of their league games and most of their non-league encounters. The only team which de- feated the B’s in a way which left no argument was the league-leading Blues from Stockton. The superior height and experience of Stockton gave them an advantage which Lodi couldn't overcome. Outstanding on this year’s team were Captain Sanguinetti. guard; Bill Spooner and Roily YVaithers, high-scoring forwards, and the ever reliable Bill Jauch at center, while R. Cooper showed up well in the last few games of the season. Verne Hoffman, B coach, certainly turned out a fine team for his first year of basketball coaching at Lodi. Flame supporters are hoping that he will enjoy even more success when he takes over the reins next fall as Lodi’s head basketball coach. Bill Crete. Charles Crete. Bill Spooner. Nat Morton. Howard Morton. Rowland Walther Tennis The Flame racketcrs experienced a rather disappointing season, but as a number of the players are Sophomores and Juniors, better times seem to be just around the corner. Captain Charles Crete and Rowland Walther, playing No. 1 and No. 2 man respectively, were the only members of the squad to win their Block L. Bill Spooner, Howard Morton, Bill Crete, and Nat Morton, playing No. 3, No. 4. No. 5, and No. 6 man in the order named, also turned out some good tennis but seemed to lack, perhaps through inexperience, the poise and even- ness of playing ability which is acquired by the seasoned tennis player. All of the last named boys, however, with the exception of Bill Spooner, will return next year and with added experience gained between seasons, should be formidable opponents for any high school team. Most of these players are developing fast, especially Nat Morton, and their true worth is rather difficult to estimate until they reach the highest tennis ability they are capable of. 1 77 1 Seiferling.

A1 and Clifford Cooper turned out some excellent work in the javelin, Al's best throw being 168 feet ten inches, and Clifford's 154 feet. The Cooper brothers placed first and second in the order named in the sub-sectional meet. Claire Hopkins jumped 5 feet 10 inches at the first of the season but was unable to place in the Northern Section track meet. Clar- ence Gilbeau turned in some fast 440 time, while Bob Hoopes was the Flame’s best bet in the 880 and mile. The remaining L winners in track were Seifer- ling, who turned in one 100 in 10:1. and Gus Bredy, who reached 5 feet 7 inches in the high jump. In Class B, Johnnie Koehler and Athneil Thiel both placed in the North- ern Section C. I. F. meet, Koehler taking first in the 160 low hurdles, and Thiel picking up a third in the football throw. Koehler, by virtue of placing first in the Northern Section C. I. F.. is entitled to a sweater, but being the first Lodi Class B athlete to win a first in the Northern section,, he had not been given any award when the “Tokay” went to press. The other Class B athlete of ability was Bruce Addington, who placed third in the high jump in the sub-sectional. [ 78 ] A'.laffke. Wright. Tramontini. Davis. Wileu. Mondavi. Srhnabel. Stouder. Lind.

Lodi succeeded in taking second place in the sectional meet. Outstanding on this year’s team were Klaffke, the class of the high school distance swimmers, and Filler, who was the section’s outstanding diver. Klaffke, besides winning both the 220 and the 440 in the sectional, established a new record of 5:50.1 for the Northern Section C. I. F. in the 440. Both men won sweaters by virtue of their sectional wins and as both of these boys are Juniors great things are expected of them next year. Other nearly sure point winners were Mondavi, dash man; R. Cencirulo, distance star; and Wesley Pope in the dives. Lodi’s strongest breaststroke man was Wolfe, while Lange handled the backstroke. CLASSB The Class B swimmers lacked the experience of the Class A men, but they succeeded in making a fairly good season’s showing. Erie Wright and Elton Cencirulo in the backstroke, Albert Lind in the dashes, and James Kreis in the dives all turned in some good performances, while Tramontini and Moore picked up a large number of points throughout the season. These boys are nearly all lower classmen and their ever-developing ability will make them good timber for coming A teams.

They did win, by the close score of 10-6, which gave them first place. The game of the losing teams. Freshmen and Juniors, was won by the former.
