EXHIBIT The exhibition given in the gymnasium, Dec. ll, was a display of practically everything made in the Domestic Science, Manual Training, Applied Art, and Forging Classes, during the first Semester. The Manual Training department presented beautifully polished furniture, lamp standards, and many other useful articles. The Applied Art Class displayed such dainty articles as stenciled pillows, scarfs, and curtains, tied-and-dyed articles, and pretty little vases. Besides these articles, many drawings by the advanced classes, as well as by the elementary classes, were exhibited. The exhibition to be given at the end of the school year will be on the same line as that of the first semester. This exhibition will take in all the work of the same departments of the second and last semester.

Lompoc T.JNIONl 24 IHIG11 SCHOOL The door of the compartment had swung open, and two slinking, beady-eyed creatures slipped to the ground and disappeared into the darkness beyond. jim found the door open, and located the old man. Say, Old llian, you hurt? There was no answer and Jim drew him out and carried him to the wagon ahead. The old man came back, long enough to gasp out. The lions, Jim, the lions! -lim looked in the compartment and sure enough they were gone. Three of the men volunteered to help Jim search for those lions. Let's strike out east, Jim said, there's a lot of brush and here's a trail. Some- body bring me a flash light. There's only one, and that's under the old man's pillow, said one of the party. Jim plunged into the muddy trail flashing the light on the murky ground. Say, sure enough, they've gone this way. The rain and wind drove against them, and the thick brush on either side of the trail hindered them. It made them nervous and irritable, but they went on. A flash of lightning, then another peal of roaring thunder, then dreadful quietness, but the rain never stopped. Jim looked to the side-stopped abruptly. Was it a light he had seen? He waited. There, not more than a hundred feet away, he could see a pale, flickering light. Then it became blurred. A huge, ugly form blotted it out, it flickered again in a sickly, flaring way. Jim bounded toward the light. It became blurred againg this time he knew it was danger. A second form had disappeared thru that window. A second later -lim was there. He stopped amazed, suddenly stiffened, was as stone, for standing in the corner near a huge crackling fireplace a young girl stood, pale as a ghost and trem- bling. The huge bulk moved, swerved his full length, then faced the girl. A deep scar gleamed between its eyes. There was a miraculous change. As if electrified the girl became taut, backed farther into the corner, snapped her fingers and shouted, Czar l The lions crouched. Once more she repeated the command, then, lJelphil rang from her lips. D0wnl she cried commandingly. The lions lowered, slipped quietly with trained movement, watching her and snarling as they crouched to the floor in full submission. Breathlessly Jim watched, the others watched: none moved. Then jim vaulted thru the window. ' Juliel - - - Jimi Oh! and father? she cried. He's been watching for you, and hc's safe. -Genevieve Ruffner, '26. I
