Captain Applejack, probably one of the greatest achievements of the class during their four years of high school, was acknowledged as a pro- duction quite worthy of the high praise that it received. Keen interest was created in the play through its villanous pirates and bold buccaneers. April 27 the class sneaked ofl' to El Capitan and had their long an- ticipated picnic. Good eats and any quantity of cold bathing were the main attractions of the day. The following offices of honor were held by seniors during the year: Girls' League for the first semester: President, Dorothy George, Secre- tary, Helen Rufnerg Athletic Manager, Ida Isom, Treasurer, Dorothy Harris-. Girls' League during the second semester: President, Helen Ruifnerg Chairman of Welfare Committee, Jocelyn Lowryg Athletic Manager, Ida Isom. A. S. B. Officers: President, Charles Oliver and Boyd Canfield, Treasurer, Louis Morehart. The Seniors entered athletics and made a good showing, four making letters in football: Dean Martin, George Fabing, Horace Smith, and Boyd Canfield. Ernest Brooks, Boyd Canfield, and Dean Martin were contributed to the heavy weight basketball squad, but were not successful in earning a letter. Fred Canfield and George Fabing were the only entrants in track, but little was done in the sport this year. Dean Martin was the only entrant in baseball. Girls' sports offer such small opportunity that Ida Isom was the only girl who won a letter. June 6 will be the Seniors' big night. Caps and gowns are to worn by the out going class.. This innovation has been discussed before, but we are the first to adopt it. l13l 1 F i LA PURISIMA Senior Will I, Eldon Abbey, do hereby will and bequeath my abundance of energy and activity to James Higgins.

One of the most notable of these changes has been the adoption of a diferent sized annual. It was thought that the larger book such as L. U. H. S. has issued in previous years was unsuited to a small school. Hence we decided to try this new size, feeling that, because of its increased thickness and decreased length and width, it would be better proportioned than the older type, and it would be more convenient to handle, being nearer book size. So herewith is presented La Purfsima in its new dress, and we feel sure that it will meet with your approval. The greatest event of the year occurred when we occupied the new build- ing, in January. The building is one of the finest educational structures in the county, and the students are justly proud of it. The Junior High School building has been enlarged and remodeled along the same architectural lines as the new Senior High, and has aided materially in giving our school grounds their present pleasing appearance. At about the same time that the students entered the new building there was inaugurated a merit system. This was something never before tried in Lompoc High, and thus far has been very successful. Our system is different from that usually employed in that it is a true merit system, students having an opportunity to earn merits, whereas in many other schools it is only possible to receive demerits. There have been a few minor difficulties en- countered, since there has not yet been sufficient time to work out all the fine detailsg but on the whole we are well satisfied. The year has been on outstanding one in the field of music. Under the capable direction of Miss Hamann, a large orchestra, a band, and boys' and girls' glee clubs were organized and have progressed rapidly. The band is the first organization of its kind that the school has ever boasted. And last, but far from least, there is the basketball championship. Basket- ball was the outstanding sport during the past year, and Coach Sims certainly produced a fine team. The boys won the Tri-County Championship, which entitled them to play for the Southern California crown at Huntington Park. They defeated their first opponents, but were downed by the strong Long Beach team after a hard fought battle. Their defeat, however, lowered them not a whit in the estimation of their school. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to express its gratitude for, and appreciation of, the spirit of cooperation which has pervaded the entire school organization during the preparation of La Purisimaf'-The Editor. rw.: , i J LA PURISIMA Qi' ...e l e . A. S. B. Programs We have enjoyed several very good programs this year, amusfng as well as instructive. So far, three classes have given their stunts as has been the custom in past years. The Freshmen gave a one-act playg the Sophomores, a Spanish playg and the Juniors, a take-off on the-Senior Play. What the Seniors have in store for us is as yet a mystery. The Jr. High people have also done their part in furnishing entertain- ment for the school. They have given a Mother Goose scene, Alice in Movie- land, and several other little skits. The Girls' League put on one of the stunts which they gave in Santa Barbara at the Convention. Among our musical programs we have had selections from the orchestra, band, and Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. The Jubilee Quartet also gave us a sample of their program. A Scholarship This society is composed of students receiving ten points or more during a report period. An A grade in three solid subjects is required to make the necessary ten points. At the beginning'of the year those qualifying for the society met and elected Dorothy George president, and Louise Griffin secretary. Although we have been socially inactive this year, a greater number of pupils have succeeded in gaining membership than in the past few years. The list of members includes Dorothy George, Theodore Adams, Edna David- son, Helen Ruffner, Velma Smith, Elizabeth Watson, Fenton Holloway, Allen Owen, Evelyn Henning, and Louise Griffin. Two Seniors, Theodore Adams and Dorothy George, will receive the coveted Scholarship pin Commencement Night. Qi I20l LA PURISIMA Ln. H. Xl.

' The first ofthese speeches was made by Mr. Belcher, representing the Service Clubs of Lompoc. The occasion for this event was the presentation of blankets to the football team. ' The Armistice Day address was given by Mr. Brewster. Mr. Mockford talked to us at Christmas time. Shortly after we had installed our merit system, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Ketron, from Santa Barbara High School, talked to us about the mechanics of the merit system as operated under their plan. . Private Peat spoke to us in March, giving an 'account of his adventures over seas during the war. The last of these addresses was given May 18, by Principal A. A. Bow- hay, of the Santa Maria High School. He told us about the Junior College in Santa Maria. - l 21 l nl l QP .wi situ '4 K JJ f Av' LA PURISIM : ,ft A . 1, XX! x -I 9 fill!! , I Xi 4, First Semester Dorothy George ...,,..,,.

Many odd costumes appearedvthat night, and the gym was the scene of great revelry. The entertainment committee had planned many games, and no one found time to stand around and do nothing. The riot gradually subsided and refreshments were served. As is always the case, we went home wishing we could have another Hi Jinks soon. During the remaining part of the month'we were busy planning for the County Convention, held in Santa Barbara the 29th. About fifty Lompoc girls went down. The principal speaker of the morning program was Miss Amy Cryan, of Mills College, whose theme was Women in Public Life. At noon we adjourned to Cabrillo Pavilion, where a very fine luncheon was served by the Santa Barbara League. As our part of the afternoon program, Martha Plo gave a clever little recitation, and Genetta Cheatham and Ida Isom gave an amusing tramp skit. After this program we made a tour of Knapp. Gardens. As the last event of the day, the P. T. A. served us with chocolate and cookies. Early in November we elected Genetta Cheatham and Velma Smith as delegates to the convention in San Bernardino. On their return they gave I l22l f LA PURISIMA us an enthusiastic account of their trip, and told of many helpful suggestions that they thought could be used in our organization. At Christmas time we had a White Gift Booth at our Christmas program Aand presented the donations to the local charities. Following this a lapse occured in our activities, due to the shifting of interest to other departments, such as the Senior Play and Fashion Show. We sponsored the Dixie Jubilee Quartet when it came here April 30, and thereby added about fifteen dollars to our treasury. At the meeting called to discuss the Jubilee Quartet we elected Dorothy Rfggs as delegate to the convention in Venice, May 12. She was accompanied south by Mrs. Benson, our advisor, and Helen Rufner, president of our league. Girls' Glee Club This year witnessed the reappearance of an organized Glee Club. Since 1926, when music became a required subject, there has been no special part work done by any of the classes. This year. however, all of the classes have been working on two-part songs and fine results have been obtained. Although the Glee Club has not had as striking a career as the orchestra, they have sung for assemblies, for the Masonic Educational program, and for Odd Fellow programs. A Besides the regular Glee Club, a trio has been formed. This is composed of three girls: Alice Smiley, Genetta Cheatham, and Martha Plo. Boys' Glee Club This is another organization that went out of existence in 1925, not to come to life again until 1927. We have three times as many boys in the Glee Club now as we had then, showing that the interest in this department is increasing rapidly. Merit Committee At the beginning of the second semester a Merit System was adopted by the Student Body. This system is administered by a committee composed of two faculty members appointed by the principal and three students elected by the A. S. B. The first to be honored by places in this committee were Don Main, Velma Smith, Glenn Adams, Miss McGinty, and Miss Holmes. In our system students can earn merits as well as lose them. We have been complimented by visiting students on theidemocracy of our administra- tion and our privilege of earning merits. l23l LA PURISIMA Orchestra The Lompoc High School is justified in taking great pride in its orchestra this year. Although we had an orchestra two years ago, it was not very large, consequently, it was not expected to participate in many public per- formances. Due to the increased interest in instumental work this year, the number of players has grown to eighteen. This interest on the part of the pupils is reflected correspondingly in the interest of the community, and our orchestra has had many opportunities to play in public. In addition to play- ing for our Assemblies, the Senior Play, and the Junior Hi Operetta, they have played for the Eastern Star, Rotary Club, Farm Bureau, P. T. A., and the Masonic Program. ' The orchestra has made great progress during the first year of its existence, and we feel sure that it will do greater things in years to come. Members of Orchestra: Allen Owen, violin, Edwin Jenks, violin, Elvey Callis, violin, Pat Sims, violing Ross Ruth, violin, Harry Betaque, violin, Alys Smith, violin, David Winans, mellophoneg Dale Callis, mellophoneg Howard Couch, cornetg Randles DeWeber, trombone, William'McLaughlin, baritone, Kenneth Heiges, cornetg Norval Miller, cornetg Albert Pope, cornet, Billy Polack, Saxophone, Jack Burton, clarinet, Harold McCain, drum, Alice Smiley, piano, Murial Reed, piano, Leila Meyers, cello, Johnny Graton, drum. Next year our school band hopes to be on hand at all our athletic games, believing that band music will be a great drawing card in the athletic events. We have not a very' strong rooting section, and the band will add greatly to our display of school spirit. l24l . -1-L-xv- ,, ...nk , , LA PURISIMA Band A High School band is something new in our school history, and altho still a novelty, it promises to be an important figure in future activities. So far, the band has not made as great a name for itself as the orchestra, for it has not appeared as many times in public. It has played for the Boy Scout Court of Honor, one baseball game, and several High School assemblies.

The High School Basketball Team, which has had a very successful year, was composed entirely of Junior boys. Although we have been .busy with athletics, the whole class has been working to make money for the Junior Prom, which is to be given May 25. Two successful ice cream sales were held. We also held a food sale at the Forester's Hall, May 5. We are to sponsor a concert to be given by the Boy's Glee Club of Santa Barbara Teachers College, May 18. Even though we have been working for the Prom., we have not been too busy to give A. S. B. a very interesting program. 'fCaptain Applesauce, a burlesque of the Senior play, Captain Applejack, 'was given and was en- thusiastically received.

We first found out how capable she was when we were preparing for the Freshmen Reception. ' As Freshmen we had firmly resolved that when it came our turn we would, as lordly Sophomores, really initiate the Freshmen. We did not carry out all our dire threats, but we did have a rousing good time with them. The Freshmen returned the compliment and gave us a very jolly party. Now we could settle down and show the High School of what mettle the Sophomores were made. It was soo11 evident that the majority of the members of the Scholarship Society were Sophomores. Two girls and two l2'7fI LA PURISIMA boys of our class made the required number of credits almost every period. These were Velma Smith, Elizabeth Watson, Fenton Holloway, and Allen Owen. This was not the only organization in which the Sophomores predomi- nated, for two thirds of the officers of the Girl's League, second semester, were from our class. Those holding office in the two semesters were Eliza LaFourcade, Velma Smith, Elizabeth Watson, Francine Cazenave, Catherine Harris, and Irene Howerton. Some of our girls also held A. S. B. offices. Velma Smith was secretary the first semester, and Genetta Cheatham has been our peppy yell leader the whole year. We also entertained the A. S. B. with a clever Spanish play called Una Tragedis de Amor. Some of the character parts were taken by Eliza LaFour- cade, Kenneth Heiges, Allen Owen, and Francine Cazenave. Our class has also taken an active part in school athletics, and three of our boys, Edgar Horn, Kenneth Heiges, and Howard Winn, are lettermen. Of the girls, Ida Guerra and Janie Grossi received their second letter, and Genetta Cheatham and Irene Howerton their first. Then last and most im- portant, our girls won the school championship in basketball. Friday, May 11, was the date set for our class dance. It was well attended and everyone enjoyed it. It was a very happy ending for our Sophomore year. ' Altogether, I am sure we all think this has been a most satisfactory year, and we have reason to be proud of our class. 7 ' ' '- F Isl' 2 C l28l LA PURISIMA I 'ilu .A l U' W' ,W 9 'Sf' swim AND simian EVERY YEAR 'ml' l EM 'lxiffgi 4, lu. gzrfl lj ' I . 1 -, IME o - - ill, . 5 .. , 'ff' l35'.fl' ii, .. .L Class of '31 A President ......,....,,Y.. .,,.......,,..,7..,7,,...........,, E dward Kalin Vice-President .,,.,.. .......,..A,,, F red Ruffner Secretary ..,...77.,... ..,....

We're in High School now, but feeling rather small and fully prepared for a ducking. The Freshman reception was a source of mystery-something that we did not know whether to welcome or dread. Our anxiety was relieved about the middle of the school term by invitations to the party. Francis Beattie, the Sophomore president, gave us an address of weleome, which was answered by the Freshman president, Edward Kalin. The Freshman class can boast of some fine athletes in all the sports. Letters were given to several in our class: to Kalin and Smiley for football, to Horn and Smiley for basketball, and to Kalin for baseball. We have some excellent material for next year also. The Freshman performance for the Student Body showed that we had good talent in other lines than athletics. We gave a short farce called Why Photographers Go Mad. The whole cast of our play did well, and Carter Fry showed partlcular talent as the photographer. Thanks to Miss Holmes' untiring effort, our entertainment ranked high among those of the past year. l29'l LA Pu RISIMA ,iffy -EX' ml he The Junior High School Junior High Student Body Officers First Semester Second Semester Mary Morehart ....,.,.....

Miss Hamann organized a Junior High band, which has played before the Student Body and for other organizations. An operetta, Alice in Movieland, was given by both eighth grades under direction of Miss Hamann.

The Junior Block L Club, organized this spring, is made up of boys who have won their letter in Junior High athletics. They support the athletics and boost the teams, as well as hold an annual picnic. The officers are: President, Harry Dayg Vice-President, George Schulerg Secretary, Armand Cazenave. Other members are Lloyd Kalin, Maurice Huyck, Harry Koeke- backer, Alfred Guerra, Delphino Garcia, Lloyd Canfield, William Schuyler, l30l LA PURISIMA Joe De Lira, Raymond Becerra, Thomas Hayes, Ray Kalin, Lawrence Huyck, and Louis Ramirez. Unfortunately, the league of which the Lompoc Junior High is a mem- ber did not function until after the basketball season. Otherwise we would have had a beautiful blue and gold banner to proclaim our championship heavy weight team. They finished the season with but one defeat. Lloyd Kalin and Lloyd Canfield worked the forward positions with Capt. Alfred Guerra at center and Harry'Koekebacker and Harry Day at guard, most of the games. Maurice Huyck and William Schuyler filled in when needed. Lompoc 65 Santa Maria 8. Lompoc 95'Santa Ynez 4. Lompoc 32 Orcutt 13. Lompoc 15 Hi Lightweights 34. Lompoc 175 Santa Maria 9.

E3 L Stepan Stepan watched Mitzy as she took the strings of pearls, the diamonds, all sorts or rings, and novelty stuffs out of the safe and put them into the show cases. He smiled uncertainly. There was something he would like to tell Mitzy, but he'd also rather wait and surprise her. He had counted his money the night before and had found he had just enough to go to Petrograd and bring his family back. Today he had secured passage and his passport, and he would sail for Europe in ive days. Should he tell Mitzy or surprise her? He resolved to tell her. But first he took his passport and his ticket out of his pocket and brought out his money from hfs own little safe, in the back of the shop, and held them behind him. Mitzy, he said, 'KI got what you would call a great surprise for you. I give you three guesses vat. You've sold that beautiful string of pearls, she guessed. UNO? Then that big jeweler has offered you the job you asked for, or you've found some- thing to send home to little Natalya? But every guess was wrongg for each time she guessed she was answered by a negative shake of his head and a gleam of even white teeth. I go to R---. But before he had a chance to finish Mitzy exclaimed, You're going to Russia to bring back your folks! Oh! Stevie! I'm so glad. Are you sure you have enough money? Come here, and ve'll count it all over again, he assured her, and he took the two bags of money from behind him. As they were counting 1,0205 1,0305 1,0403 1,050-Stepan noticed a man at the jewel counter. He quickly pushed the money out of sight behind Mitzy and went for- ward to wait on his customer. t'Anything new? inquired the man. t'I've got to get something for my wife's birthday about a week from now. Sure, Stepan replied, Ve got everything new. Those string of pearls, they are very nice, or these diamonds? Maybe your wife, she would like them, perhaps?y' He took the diamonds out of the jewel case and placed them before the man. He then turned away to get some more jewels. When he turned the man grabbed one of the diamonds, turned it so the l32l L H11 1- l LA PURISIMA light could hit it more directly and examined it. But he put it back, dis- appointment in his face. He had thought no one was in the store but Stepan, but Mitzy had seen. Maybe your wife she vould like this bracelet? said Stepan as he produced a white gold bracelet set with tiny emeralds. No, I don't think so, said the man. My name is Anderson. Perhaps you'll have something in later. If you do, call me up at 1037 West Alton St. I'll drop in and see what you have. With that he turned and left. Stepan only shrugged his shoulders as the man left. Ach! Too bad he couldn't be satisfied with that string of pearls, ain't it Mitzy? These Ameri- cans they never satisfied with nothing. Ain't that right, huh, Mitzy? The next day Anderson peered in thru the open door. You didn't phone, but did you get anything new? No? All right. He turned and left. The next day a man with a dark mustache entered the shop. He leaned on the counter, eyeing Stepan curiously and twirling his mustache with his long fingers. Mr. Levinsky, the jeweler? he asked. ' Yes, yes, said Stepan. Something I can do for you, maybe? Would you consider buying some jewels? 'AI vould like to see them and examine them first, Stepan replied. The man put his hand in his pocket and took from a heavily lined wallet two large diamonds and a garnet of the deepest red blood color. Uh! cried Stepan when he saw them. He stood gazing at them and then without turning he motioned to Mitzy to come and look at them. Mitzy could only say Ah! under her breath. Stepan then tested them with his instruments. They were real, yes, and very rare, those jewels. He could take them to the big jewelers, Hart and Son, and get quite a bit for them. How much you vant for them? Stepan inquired, hoping he would not ask for almost all he had, tho they were certainly worth it. The man looked about him nervously and clasped his hands tightly to- gether. - As much as you will give me, providing it is near their worth and you have the money here, ready to give me. At this Mitzy turned her gaze curiously to the man, distrust in her eyes. And vat is your name and vere did you get these jewels? asked Stepan. Alex Gondra, was the name given. I got them from my folks and I hate to sell them but--my brother is very ill and I have no money to care for him. When he mentioned his brother's illness he dropped his head in a way that brought sympathy to Stepan's heart. Yes, yes-I see, said Stepan. Is two thousand enough? But Stepan, do you think you ought to? whispered Mitzy. Yes, that is good, replied Gondra. And may I have the money now? Sure, said Stepan. Mitzy, you go get my money from my safe now. Mitzy got it and brought it to him. Stepan counted out the amount carefully and slowly. The man took the money and quickly left. I33l LA Pu RISIMA Plain mehsugeh! Mitzy, for vy you always distrust? asked Stepan a little vexed. You got reason yet? ' No, Mitzy answered, But really, Stepan, you ought to be more careful. U That afternoon Anderson came again. When Mitzy saw him crossing the street, she said sarcastically: I suppose you're going to sell those diamonds and the garnet to that Mr. Anderson, huh? Stepan shrugged his shoulders patiently: No, Mitzy, I keep them for Hart and Son. I can get more there. He stopped abrutly as Anderson entered. Don't suppose you got anything new yet? he inquired looking sharply at Stpean. Didn't get a thing in this morning? Mitzy stood back, watching him intently. No, Stepan said, Nothing this morning. Mr. Anderson looked around the shop hesitatingly and then bidding them good-bye, left. The next day Stepan arose early. He finished his morning's work and awaited the coming of Mitzy. When she did arrive he was ready to leave. He had put his jewels in his little leather bag and held them tightly in his hand. I take them now, Mitzy. You can look after the store for awhile, yes? Sure, I can, Mitzy assured him, and he left. Mitzy watched him walk down the street, and then she said to herself: I wonder who these two men can be? I don't like either one of them. I've a suspicion something is going to happen. And she nodded her head as if she quite approved of her thoughts. Then she set about doing her morning duties, still wondering. ' Good morning, Levinsky, was the greeting Stepan received as he entered the big jewelry shop. And what can we do for you today? I got some jewels to sell to Mr. Hart. They are very good these jewels, very line. He took them out of his leather bag and put them on the velvet pad, on the counter. Whew! whistled the clerk. I say, Levinsky, where'd you get these? Say, Mr. Hart, come here and take a look at these, will you? Mr. Hart entered from his office and examined the jewels. Where'd you get these, Levinsky? he asked, eying Stepan sharply. Sure, a man be bring them in the other day and vant to sell them. His brother got very sick. How much they worth? Quite a bit, replied Hart. Say, well-let me examine them first. He examined them and then turned to Stepan. How would three thousand do? Stepan's eyes opened wide. Three thousand! That is very good, thanks. Do I have it put in the bank or could I take a check, please? Sure, you can have it any way you want it, the clerk said, and he wrote out the check. I Stepan took the slip of paper and left. He folded it and held it tightly in his hand. As he went out the door he bumped into someone. He turned I 34 1 LA PURISIMA to apologize and found it to be Anderson. But he had no time to apologize, for the man had disappeared around the corner. Stepan was puzzled for a moment. Oi weh! I vonder vy he did that. He went whistling into his shop, waving the check at Mitzy. Just look, Mitzy! I ain't so green as you think, maybe? That is very good, she said happily. Stepan then went to the back of his shop and started packing. About two hours later his friend Leibel came running across the street to Stepanls shop. Stepan, I got news. You heard of the robbery of-? Go vay, Leibel, I got no time for foolishness,j' Stepan cried. At ten o'clock the next morning Stepan Levinsky was rushing hurriedly for the dock. He had only two minutes to get there. He arrived just in time. He got in line, and his fellow passengers were bidding their friends good-bye when the whistle blew. Just as he was ready to start up the gang plank he felt a hand on his shoulder. Stepan turned, and there was Anderson-a grim look of determina- tion on his face. Hello, said Stepan. You still looking for jewels? Yes, said Anderson, and I think I've found them. Where? Stepan inquired. You're coming with me, the man said grumy. I'm from Burn's office, and I've orders to get you. Now-come! Stepan tried to jerk himself loose from Anderson's hold, but it was impossible. But for vy? Vat have I done? Please, my boat, it is leaving now. I go to Russia for my folks. Vy do you take me avay? Tell me that! Then he broke into a multitude of Russian phrases. You'll hear 'for vy?' soon enough when you get to Burn's office, said Anderson. As they stood in the office a few minutes later, the man at the desk eyed Stepan carefully and keenly. Now Boris Nicholai, we've caught you! You were a little careless this time, and you did a very foolish thing when you sold those jewels to Hart and Son. ' Gottuniu! I'm notl-, Stepan interrupted, but he got no more in until the man had finished. But I'm not-what you call him? Nicholai? I'm Stepan Levinsky, he cried loudly. As he said this the man at the desk took out a picture and a false mustache. The picture was placed before him and the mustache clapped on above his upper lip. He was then pushed before a mirror. I suppose you don't recognize this face now! But I'm not him-that man there, cried Stepan pointing at the picture. Well there-who is he? Go get the finger print things together Wallace, the chief commanded. Stepan's finger prints were taken, but they were entirely different from those of Boris Nicholai, Boris' thumb print had two loops in it on his right I35l ' LA PURISIMA hand, and Stepan's thumb print of the same hand had no loops, but a small cut. The men looked at Stepan questioningly, nonplussed. Just then a telephone rang and the chief answered, He1lo-- Hello! That you, Bailey? News? You've what? Yes-We thought we had him, but we made a mistake this time. Yes! Sure-bring him right now. All right. He turned, walked over to Stepan, patted him on the shoulder and said, All right, son, run along home and we'll fix it so you can change your ticket and take the next boat. Sorry to have detained you. And Stepan left. - Mitzy, he called as he opened the shop door, I thought I should better wait till next week to go! -Edna Ruifner, '29 2? 5 54 41 Pk The Circus On a high pedestal, under a glaring electric light, above the heads of everyone, stood a sonorous voiced man, announcing Our Modern Circus. He was disclaiming upon the fact that our previous circuses were not up-to- date and modern enough. All the circuses tod-ay have line actors, acrobats, and animals. Monkeys to attract attention. Now we have in modern circus something entirely new and thrilling. There was a burst of laughter after that speech. Some one yelled, We'll see! A murmur arose and finally a loud buzz circulated throughout the crowd. Everyone seemed to have some- thing to say. The buzz was suddenly hushed by a crashing blare of a horn. The sonorous voiced man shouted at some workmen lounging near the equipment wagons. Hey, git busy there! No time ta lo'H! ' The shouting, whistling, and singing increased as the men got busy and people dispersed to further amusements. 4 Then suddenly everything was stilled. A shrill piercing cry, as that of a human being in pain, coming from one of the two animal tents, rent the air. People scurried in every direction, women screamed, men yelled, Git the children out of the way! One of the workmen in a striped red and blue sweater hurried into the tent from whence had come the fearful cry. At this the people moved a little nearer, but not too near. He with the striped sweater emerged from the tent pulling after him with a clank, clatter, and squeak, a hand-cart, on which was set a delapidated old cage. Within it was crouched a great yellow beast in a corner. He was hissing and snarling at the people who ventured nearer to observe him more closely. Some mis- chievous boys threw small clods at him thru the bars, just to hear him growl. l36l LA PURISIMA Blue and red yelled Hey, youse there, cut that oudt! Want him ta bite yu? Huh? The boys hurried away to further mischief. Every where was noise, noise. The master's mallet went thud, thud upon the stand before him. The people turned their noisy attention his way. Now, he fairly shreiked at them, you shall see and hear some marvelous things. Watch carefully! The people all stood wondering, breathless. Suddenly a distant crackling was heard, and as if by magic a great fire was burning in the fireplace in the room at the side of the master's stand. Pop! Pop! Chestnuts and popcorn were cracking, popping over the fire. Clink, jingle! And a flat yellow box appeared upon the table, contents un- known. The box matched the color of the table. Soon the water in the teakittle began to boil, and something over the grate sizzled appetizingly. The water in the overflowing bucket slowly dripped into a pan. Some one was singing softly in another room, and then came a lignt beautiful girl tap-tap as that of dainty clad feet crossing the floor. A tripped into the room and went over to throw some logs on the fire. As she bent down she was startled by a loud rapping upon the door. A tall Behind him hungry looking man came unceremoniously into the room. skulked a great gaunt dog, who growled once and then snifed around. The little bird in the cage chirped disconsolately. The girl had her back against the table and stood staring. The man said nothing, but looked furtively about him. All was silent save for the frightened twitter of the bird. Boom! The silence was shattered by a loud blast. Even the people below the platform gasped in consternation. The girl screamed and fell fainting near the tableg the man bent swiftlyf to the floor and began cutting at the wood with the chisel. He seemed to be searching for something valuable. Since the blast the little room rocked back and forth like a cradle. The dog growled and whimpered. The man muttered, Keep still, you mutt! and looked fearfully about him. His frantic search was interrupted by another blast, and the room continued to rock. The girl moved slightly, blinked several times, and then sat up quickly. She looked at the mang his back was turned to her. She slyly reached up and snatched the box from the table, and promptly fainted again. She had secreted the box in the folds of her dress. V. The stooping man unbent himself, looked carefully around and under everything in the room. Failing to find what he wanted, he passed the girl, who was watching every move through slitted eye-lids, and went out of the door and out of the story. The crowd had sat spellbound during the performance, but now, relaxed, clapped for more. But the performance was over. Already circus helpers were busily gathering up poles and taking down booths, storing them in big wagons for the next move. Animals growled, horses neighed, and the monkeys chattered excitedly. Everything was in one grand uproar once more. - --fa --Vivien Cronholm, '30 l37l effl- LA PURISIMA The Pursuit Outside of the Belleview Apartments everything was quietg and so, also, was it inside. Indeed, it was too quiet for Richard Sheldon, who was nervously walking back and forth across the floor, after having combed his hair for the sixth time during the last five minutes. Plainly he was waiting for something, and somewhat impatiently at that, for every once in a while he would stop his restless pacing, look at the clock, and then absent mindedly compare it with his watch. Suddenly, in the midst of all of this, he stopped short. Of all the dumb- bells! he muttered, I forgot to tell him that the Matthews had moved. Oh, darn the luck. With that he stalked over to the desk, and grabbed up the telephone. Mission 5-6-12-Yes.-Hello-Is Willard Broadhurst there?i-- This is Richard Sheldon-Yes, I'm the groom-to-be, and he gave a forced little laugh, What?-Good Heavens, man, so soon? He's been gone ten minutes? Then he's half way--I'll wait for him-Thank you so much. Yes. -He'll have to come out Grant Street, the bridge is out on Washington.-- Yes, thanks. He jammed down the receiver, ran out of the apartment, down the stairs three steps at a time, and out onto the terrace. Then he looked down the street, but his friend's car was not in sight. Across the street, however, he noticed a taxi driver eyeing him rather expectantly from his car. Remember- ing himself, he tried to appear as casual as he could by surveying the scenery, and by proceeding to light a cigarette. Having accomplished this, he began another long seige of waiting, only this time, as the moments dragged on, it was with more of a sense of help- lessness. To make matters worse, Mrs. Lamb, the Belleview's busybody, who lived in the apartment above Sheldon, took this time'to go shopping. Good morning, Mr. Sheldon, she murmured, Why that troubled look? A---good morning, Mrs. Lamb, I-I was just waiting for a taxi. Oh yes, the service is terrible, isn't it? As she said this, she looked at his bare head, and then at the taxi across the street. Then with a rather amused smile, she went on. Her smile caused him to put his hand up to his head. Oh, by gosh! he exclaimed, My hat! I'll have to goi-. But at that moment, a familiar looking green coupe rounded the corner, and forgetting everything else, Sheldon ran down the steps and out to the edge of the sidewalk. But the driver looked neither right nor left, and drove swiftly on. Meanwhile, the taxi driver, who had been a casually interested onlooker, guessing that the young man across the street had become a prospective customer, poked his head out of the window and said, Taxi sir? You bet, answered Sheldon, and as the car drew up to the curb he jumped in beside the driver. Catch that car as quickly as you can, he ordered, I haven't a minute to spare. l38l LA PURISIMA They started off, but by that time the other car was two blocks ahead, and it seemed to be getting farther away every second. Step on it, man! Can't you see he's gaining? I could walk this fast. Hurry! Yes, but there's a cop that sticks around here pretty close, and I--. Oh, never mind the cop, I'll settle for everything. Only hurry up- now. The car ahead swerved around a corner. Now what the deuce is the matter with him? he complained, He's not even going in the direction of the Matthew's old place. f'Say, turning to the man at the wheel, Can't you make this thing go over fifty? Let me drive if---. But his breathe was cut short, as the car swung around the corner fifty miles an hour. Then, to their surprise, they found that Broadhurst's car was out of sight. He's probably turned the next corner, so drive slower. Hold on! There he is, and he's just getting out. As the taxi drew up to the other car, Sheldon jumped out. My word, Broadhurstln he began, mopping his forehead. Why on earth did you come clear out here? We're ten minutes late now, and miles from-1 V He stopped short as the man in front turned around, Why, Dr. Hauf- man! he exclaimed. Pm sorry, old fellow, but I'm afraid you've made a mistake. I certainly have, pardon me. A Oh, that's all right, replied the doctor good humoredly, as he picked up his medicine case. By the way, I thought you were going to be married this morning. I am, if I ever get there. I thought you were my best man and I-- Light dawns! interrupted Haufman. If that's the case, you'd better come in and telephone. I'm just going in to see Mr. Cleland, a patient of mine. He's a nice old man, and he won't mind your using his phone. That's surely good of you, exclaimed Sheldon, looking vastly re- lieved. They're probably awfully worried by this time. Come right ing There's the telephone by the door. I'll explain to Mr. Cleland. And you'd better have some one get your hat for you, young man, this with a broad smile. Otherwise ,you might cause quite a commotion among the guests. HellolIs this Mr. Matthews? - Yes I'm awfully sorry, but I was looking for Broadhurst and---l-What'S that? He is? How?

Here the doctor poked his head thru the door, Everything all right? he asked. Sure! Thanks. awfully. doctor, he said, as he ran out the door. ' -Edna Davidson, '28 l 39 l LA PURISIMA Cynthia As I hurriedly climbed up the rickety stairs which led to the small tower room, I vehemently wished that there were no such thing as rain. It always spoiled your plans. Yes, and creaky stairs-they made you feel so queer. However, this time the rain had really helped me, for it was because I couldn't go outside that Grandma had given me permission to explore this room and anything I might find stored away there. ,vl,:At the top of the stairs I paused a moment, out of breath, before pushing the lafge, iron key into the keyhole of a low oak door. The key finally turned with a rasping noise and the door squeaked on its hinges as I pushed it open. I was standing on the threshold of a low, slant-eaved room. It had evidently been closed a long time, for the musty, stale air made me cough. Up under the eaves, on one side, was a small square window with little diamond shaped panes fitted together with lead. Grandma had told me that Great-grandpa Greenfield had sent to England for those windows. They were to be placed in the new home he had built for his southern bride, Cynthia Lee, a belle of old Virginia. Many things had come from England at the same timeg the fine old mahogany spinning wheel which was standing in a corner near the window was one of them. Close to it was a small squat trunk, covered with dust.. Snatching an old coat from a hook on the wall, I hastily brushed off the top and discovered, traced on the curved top with nail heads, the inscription: Cynthia from Phillip. Then I realized that this trunk must have belonged to the Cynthia of whom Grandma had told me so many times. Sure enough, when more layers of dust had been removed it proved to be made of raw- hide. Drawing up a one-armed, comb-backed chair, which still had four good legs, I fell to thinking of Phillip, the wild adventurous brother, who had caused his tender-hearted sister Cynthia so much sorrow. They had always been very devoted, and it had nearly broken her heart when he ran away to go west. From there he had sent her this trunk, and it was the last they ever heard of him. Not very long after that she married Great-grandfather Greenfield and came to live in New England, in this very house. This trunk she had brought with her and had stored away here, most likely. This thought brought me back to the present with a start, and I lifted the lid of her trunk. As I did so, a faint fragrance of lavender floated out. The trunk was hardly half full, and carefully folded on top was a dress of rich brocade. Scattered upon it were withered, broken sprays of lavender. Taking the dress out, I discovered it to be made with a quaint bodice and full sleeves. Next was a dainty sprigged musling and then three thin, bellowy silks followed, a flowered one, a rose pink and a robin's egg blue. These, one after another, I draped over the lid of the trunk. Only one dress, a white one, remained. As I took out this white ruffled dress, I saw a small leather-covered book lying in the farthest corner. Picking it up I started reading. On the fly-leaf was written: This book belongeth to Cynthia Lee, her diary. l40l LA PURISIMA Quickly turning a page, I read, This being the eight and twentieth day of May, in the yere of our Lord, Eighteen Hundred and Twenty, and mine own birthday, my sweet and honoured Mother hath given me this book wherein I must record the things which do hap. Then followed an account of the birthday party on the lawn, Mammy Lou's special seed-cakes, and her father's arrival on his sloop Gray Gull. Every page was absorbing, and I went to many a party with Phillip and Cynthia Lee before I half finished the pages. I traced her memorable journey to Philadelphia thru the pages of her diary. But let her tell of it: Great joy doth over whelm me, for my dearest and most wonderful father sfveth that I, Cynthia Lee, am to accompany him to Philadelphia. My honored mother telleth me I shall have new frocks and shall mayhap see the honored governor and Independence Hall, of which father hath told us. I have not time longer to write el I must haste myself to Anne Hamilton's for to tell her of mine own good fortune. This was written when she was fifteen, and from then the next years were the gayest of her life. Many a time Cynthia and her brother Philip went in the coach, driven by Uncle Joe, Mammy Lou's husband, to the balls at the great manor houses of the neighborhood. Then came the great calamity. Philip ran away from home, leaving word he was going West. The brother she had learned her lessons with, who had been her constant companion and chum, had gone away with only a letter left for her. Joy seemed to have flown from her life until several months later a new interest was aroused by Johnathan Greenfield, of whom she says in her diary: This day our family did find great pleasure in the hospitality of the Hamiltons. I felt indisposed to go, but at Mother's re- questing it, I went. There I did meet the young Mister Greenfield of whom the girls do whisper muchly. He is a well-favored gentleman, who, tho not so much given to gaiety as our southern beaus, is yet an exceedingly enter- taining young man. Truly I did have an interesting discourse with him as we did walk in the Hamilton's new sunken garden. The yellow pages go on to show that he soon became her avowed suitor and that it was only a year later, two weeks after her eighteenth birthday, that she married him. The ceremony must have been lovely, for she tells of the quantity of jasmine and roses they gathered from the famous rose garden and arbors. With these they 'tdressed the vine-covered stone chapel, on her father's plantation, in which they were married. Her diary goes on to tell of the difficult journey northward to her new home in New England. A month later she joined the Puritan church to which her dearest Johnathan belonged, renouncing all her frivolous clothes and ways. Now I knew why the dainty clothes had been scarcely worn. But I also knew, from Grandma, that even prim New England could not crush the merry spirit of Cynthia. I sighed as I finished the last page, for it had been such a quaint, sweet tale I hated to finish it. Dusk had descended and the room seemed to have faded, dark had crept in as I heard Grandma calling me. I replaced the diary and clothes as I had found them in the trunk and crept down the stairs, still under the spell of dainty, happy Cynthia and the old room. -Elizabeth Watson, '30 I41l LA PURISIMA The Rescue To add to the difficulties that the boys had before them, a great storm was coming up. The sky had already takcn on a dull leaden color and was fast becoming darker and more threatening. The swells rolled the disabled motorboat to and fro over the foaming green water of the bay. In the dis- tance they could see the hazy outline of the island Where they had built their camp the night before. To their left, and not far away, they could hear the waves thundering and booming on the treacherous rocks, which were hidden in a dense fog. Sea gulls flew low over' the waves, and now and then dipped .into the water for a fish. The little boat was beginning to fill in spite of the boys' incessant bail- ing. It seemed as if death were unavoidable. Then a shrill whistle sounded clearly over the water. The boys looked up, and there, only a few hundred yards ahead, they saw the gigantic bulk of the United States revenue cutter, Phocs, under full steam, and coming straight towards them. The little boat had begun to sink, but the boys bailed with renewed hope. The cutter had seen them, and they knew they would be saved. Fenton Holloway 5230 . I ,rf fl I! af, fl! 9l' if Z The Silk Cargo The merchant vessel San Lucas was taking aboard the last of her cargo of silk at Havre. The heavy trucks came rattling and rumbling up the dock and dumped their load of silk amid great racket, and then went rumbling away again while the bales were hoisted to the ship's deck. As .soon as a bale was dumped on deck with a loud thud, the crew, laughing and singing, hustled it off to the nearby hold with much scraping and scurrying. In the hold the second mate was directing the placing of the cargo, booming out his orders in a deep bass voice. From other parts of the ship came the noise of machinery and the clang of bells, and now and then a shrill blast came from the whistle. Soon the ship was all loaded, and the last of the crew came aboard and pulled up the gangplank. Then, with many a blast of their whistles, the tugs piloted the ship out of the harbor, and she was oif to New York to deliver her cargo. Leroy Summers 30 l42l LA PURISIMA g.l,,,g'Z7 . . ' ' llii A2 ' v eiIi'v ' A Q '- H gqvqmn :funn sw as 'F I S se Although social activities have not been very numerous this year, the affairs that have been held have been attended well and have been enjoyed by every one that came. The first event that was of interest to the school as a whole, but of far more interest to the Uinfantsf' was the Freshmen initiation. After resisting for a few bashful moments, everyone of the freshies did the stunts assigned to him with jolly good spirit. This show of cooperation and good will on the part of the Freshmen made the Freshman reception most enjoyable. In return, the Freshmen gave the Sophomores a very delightful return party. The Sophomores found the youngsters fine entertainers as well as good sports. The third social affair was a snappy dance. The gym was quaintly and artistically decorated with pepper boughs. Very peppy music was furn- ished by Dalessiis Orchestra. One of the most jolly happenings of the year was the Christmas party, the last Friday before the holidays. Mr. Mockford gave a short, interesting talk about the atmosphere Christmas should create. After this, with a great bustling, hustling, in came fat old Santa Claus and started bombarding the teachers and pupils with popcorn balls. As to the identity of this jolly old saint, the wonderment was great, until suddenly one little visitor, Miss Barbara Lee Sims, relieved the tensity of the situation by calling, Daddy! to her transformed pater. The next social event was another dance which was held April 21, 1928. An especially lively crowd attended this, and all had an unusually good time. The music was furnished by Balaam's Orchestra. The past social events have been successful, but the one most looked forward to through the school year, and the most enjoyable one, is still to come. This is the Junior Prom., which is to be held May 25, 1928. The entertainment committee have promised the best of music, and the decorating committee are using their ingenuity to transform the gym into the traditional bower of beauty. No wonder we are keeping an eye on that date with the keenest anticipation. l43l LA PURISIMA .f f,sfs:Jff5 5 av 7 X ne49'fk'yC1xi.:EG J XZUXWMU g,13oFfNa1Q Captain Applejack The Cast Ambrose Applejohn ,,7......,......,.,,,,.,.. .,A......

Ernest Brooks, the leading man, kept the audience amused by his eloquent speech and his romantic revolt against the monotony of life. The handsome lady crook, Audrey Jennings, cleverly played her party but, for all that, she was not able to steal the Applejack fortune. Dorothy Harris, the little old fashioned ward, finally made Ernest realize that she was the only kind of a girl a man like him could love, after all. His poor old aunt, Dorothy George, had no control over him whatever, and simply had to let his wild ideas take their course. Theodore Adams made an excellent spy, truly the most danger-r-r-rous spy in the worl'. It is no wonder that Ernest's knees quaked when he came in contact with that gentlemang for the terrible villain seemed to hypnotize his audience as well as his victims. Eldon Abbey and Edna Davidson made an excellent couple, in both the l 44 l LA PURISIMA Senior Play first and third acts. No crooks could have played the game better. Mary Valla and Boyd Canfield were servants of the best type. No ordinary job for them! They preferred working for the famous Applejack family, and proved themselves capable of meeting all unexpected emergencies. Frank Scolari had his bands full for a little while. He was an able friend of Ernest's and was unusually lucky in furnishing plenty of prospective buyers for the old Applejack homeg but he had rather a difficult time in con- vincing Ernest that he had Written that parchment himself. Louis Morehart was a policeman from head to foot, even though he was not supposed to be. It is hard to say where Theodore might have landed had it not been for him. ' The play throughout was an exciting adventure of a man who became tired of everyday life and wanted a change. When the change came he found that that was not what it was cracked up to be, and he was glad when he could again fall back into the old routine. The second act was a dream, which explained how the treasure had fallen into the hands of the Applejack family. The excellent acting, together with the different light effects employed, made it extremely exciting. The play was a hard one to present, but under the direction of Miss Bowen the cast worked intelligently and hard, and the result was one of the best productions ever given by the school. l45l LA PURISIMA 146i LP -I 3 2 4 fha: Q iv.

Besides these, many others turned out, and the prospects seemed favorable for a winning team. The first game of the season was played against San Luis, This game showed the lack of teamwork, but the future appeared promising. In the Santa Maria game the team showed its prowess by holding the strong Santa Maria team, which later went into the finals for the Southern California Championship, to a 12 to 0 score. The last game of the season was played against Ventura, on Armistice Day. In this contest the team was at its best and defeated the Venturan team 7 to 0. This game afforded the spectators many thrills from the beginning to the end. Early in the season the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs played a benefit base- ball game, the proceeds from which went to buy blankets for the'High School l481 LA PURISIMA teams. The blankets were presented to the school by Frank Belcher, President of the Rotary Club, at one of the regular Student Body meetings. Several men made letters in football this year. Those getting letters in the backiield were: Captain Lawrence Schuyler, Cliff Gilkerson, Sam Morehart, Francis Smiley, and Don Main. Those getting letters for playing on the line were: Ed Kalin, William Moody, Kenneth Heiges, George Fabing, Lowell Horn, Stan Howerton, Dean Martin, Boyd Canfield, Stan Horn, Elvey Callis, and Horace Smith. We shall lose Horace Smith, Boyd Canfield, Dean Martin, and George Fabing by graduation. This will leave twelve lettermen for next year's team. With these lettermen returning, and new material coming up from the lower classes, the outlook is favorable for a winning team next year.

The ability of the team was shown in the first five practice games, which made the future appear bright for a winning season. The first league game was played against Santa Ynez on the Lompoc court. This event showed that we had a smooth working team that could hit the basket. After going to Santa Barbara and experiencing a decisive defeat, We entertained them on our home court, and we beatthem about as effectively as they had beaten us. This game made a tie for league honors, and another game had to be played at Santa Maria. Our team went to Santa Maria just as it did the two preceding years, but with a greater determination to win. This tilt was fast, with neither team having the advantage. But when the final whistle blew and the dust of battle had cleared, Lompoc had won the county championship after a struggle long to be remembered. l50l LA PURISIMA We next met the San Luis County champions at Santa Maria and turned them back with defeat. By defeating San Luis, the team got to go to Los Angeles to play in the quarter finals of Southern California. This was the first time that a heavyweight team from Lompoc ventured to Los Angeles for a play off With spirits high and a determination to win, we entered the first game with Riverside. We were leading by a fair margin at half time, but just before the end of the game Riverside staged a rally which threatened to turn the tideg but fortunately it fell short, and we won the day. This well-earned victory gave us the right to play in the semi-finals for the Southern California championship, with Long Beach as opponent. The team went down with the same fighting spirit as before, but were up against a team of equal caliber. It did not take Long Beach long to get the lead from our team. At the end of the game the score showed that Long Beach had won this great historic battle. The score 28 to 14 does not begin to tell the true story of the battle which took place. This was the farthest that any team from Lompoc has gone toward the Southern California Championship. ' With all lettermen returning next year, we are looking for a bright future which may take us as far as we went this year, or farther. Lompoc 5 DeMolay 18. Lompoc 32g Santa-Ynez 18.

This madenif necessary to develop a team from green material. In spite of this the team did well, but the lack of experience was a great handicap. The best games of the season were with San Luis and Santa Maria. In these games the boys showed promise, and staged some interesting rallies that fell short by one point in each case. Seven men received lettersg Captain Stan Horn, Edgar Horn, Everett Horn, Francis Smiley, Howard Winn, Ernest Gorzell, and Darrell Schuyler. Lompoc 34g Lompoc Jr. Hi. 1. Lompoc 153 C Class Lompoc 5.

The Sophomores suc- ceeded in winning from the Freshmeng the Juniors also defeated the Fresh- tnen, but they in turn were defeated by the Sophomores. This made the Sophomores the champions. Because our neighboring schools do not allow inter-school basketball, we had only four games with out-of-town teams. Ida Isom, manager, Ida Guerra, and Janie Grossi received stars on their letters for the second season. Martha Plo, Irene Howerton, amd Captain Genetta Cheatham received their first letters. Ida May Hardenbrook and Lena Moody were the substitutes. Lompoc 165 Recreation Center 17. Lompoc 103 S. B. Girls' School- 30. Lompoc 28g S. B. Business Club 19. Lompoc 28g S. B.

The remaining positions were filled by men of little experience. 1 The loss of Bert Howerton, the pitcher for Lompoc four successive years, has been felt keenly by the team. Ed Kalin and Stan Howerton are carrying the burden of pitching, and are doing their best to fill the gap made by the loss of Bert. The first games of the season were with San Luis Poly. Here the team showed promise but lacked experience. The majority of the games were lost because of errors and the inability to hit, but .these weaknesses are being overcome as the season comes to a close. As our annual goes to press there is one game remaining to be played, in which we hope to make a better showing than we have made so far this season. ' Lompoc 2g San Luis Poly 12.
