This has, we hope, been the happiest four years of your life. The school has made considerable progress under your leadership. It has increased in students, buildings, and equipment, and it hopes that you have made a similar progress in preparing yourselves to better meet the world and face its successes and disappointments. Heretofore you have had some one to lead and guide youg now you must fend for yourselves, depend on your own judgments, and take the con- sequences. It is hoped that you will early choose your life work and persevere in it to a successful life. Your class has been noted for its athletic ability as Well as for its in- tellectual attainments. May you progress more from now on in the latter field than in the former. May you build on the foundation you have laid in the Lompoc schools. Lompoc is now proud of youg may she ever be so. l7l V 19 N 1 1 l , W 4 J ilu lguriaima l9l Tllu 1Huri5ima l12l In Hnriainzn Senior History First Semester Second Semester Alys Smith .,,...,..,,........

We were rather timid at first, and even scared when we heard of the Freshman reception which loomed before us. But it wasn't so bad after it was overg then we felt as if we were equal to the Sophomores or any one else. During our Sophomore year, some of the things we took part in are worth mentioning. One thing we enjoyed was initiating the Freshman. The initiation they gave us was mild, compared with what we did to them. We also had a good standing in athletics. The girls took second place in inter-lass basketball. Those on our team were Edna Ruffner, Martha Pio, Ida May Hardenbrook, Clara Streeter, Georgia Barker, and Evelyn Henning. The boys took second place in inter-class basketball, baseball, and track. Some of our boys who made varsity teams were Sam Morehart, Lawrence Schuyler, Lowell Horn, Clifford Gilkeson, Stanley Horn, Stanley Howerton, and Donovan Main. These boys took a prominent part in athletics from this year on. In our Junior year we felt as if we were even better than the Seniors. The basketball team was composed entirely of Junior boys, whose good work made the year a very successful one. They won the tri-county championship, which entitled them to play for Southern California championship. They de- feated their first opponents, but were beaten by the Long Beach team. But even though they were defeated, we were all very proud of them. Our interest in athletics did not keep us from working hard to raise money for the Junior Prom, which was one of the best ever given. Then came our last and best year. Once more the basketball team was composed of our boys, and again with their good work they won the county championship. The next important event was our play, Cappy Ricks. Every Senior, whether or not he had a place in the cast, was enthusiastic over it. Then on May nineteenth we ran away to Pioneer Park, where we had a wonderful time. We danced, played baseball, went hiking, and even tried to fall in the creek in lieu of swimming. Several Seniors held offices of honor during the year. Sam Morehart was A. S. B. President the first semester, and Lawrence Schuyler served in that capacity the rest of the year. Clifford Gilkeson and Richard Rudolph were on l14l llla lguriaima the Welfare Committee. In the Girls' League Georgia Barker and Edna Lair were the Presidents for the year. Edna Ruffner was Vice-President the first semester. - On May twenty-fourth comes the Prom, the farewell party given to us by the Juniors. We have been waiting for it at least two months. But, after all, June fifth is the most important date on the Senior'S calendar, for that is the date we graduate. Then we will bid our schoolmates farewell with the hope their career in high school will be as happy as the one we have had. l15l Ea Muriainta Senior Wills We, the Senior class, having no further need for these worthless pos- sessions, seize the opportunity to get rid of them as follows: Georgia Barker donates her permanent wave to Rebecca Stockton.

For this new cover and design we owe our thanks to our publisher, Mr. Adam, for it was through his suggestion that we secured this. A Within the covers are the chronicles of the year. Many times in the past the editors have had constructive events to write of, but this year the chief event was destructive. This event was the destruction of our gymnasium, and for a while it looked as though most of our social affairs and all our games could not be conductedg but the damage was repaired quickly. After it had been repaired we found it much more spacious and convenient than it had been before. With the stage gone there was additional room for our basketball court, bleachers being built on the left hand side, level with the balcony. This also gave a great deal more room for our dances. The responsibility of the dances has been transferred from the school as a whole to the individual classes. At the time the annual goes to press the Seniors are the only ones to have given one of the series. The dance was very successful. Outsiders were invited and the Alumni responded to their invita- tion in large numbers. By the end of the year other classes hope to sponsor one of these dances. Another outcome of the gymnasium d'saster was that we were obliged to stage our two dramatical works,.the Senior Play and the Freshman Operetta, in the theatre. We will also hold our graduation exercises there. The theatre was a great deal more comfortable and commodious than our old gymnasium and we were very pleased with the accommodations there, but we found it somewhat inconvenient because the theatre is so far from the High School. This has shown us our great need of a theatre or an auditorium for our dramatic productions, educational programs, and our Associated Student Body meeting. This year has seen the inauguration of a new system for the manage- ment of the library or study hall. Under this new system monitors have been appointed to keep the library in order and to check out books. Merits are given for this, but more important than this is the fact that the system places a new responsibility upon the pupils. This seems to be another step towards modified student control, and so far the system has been carried out very well. Although this has not been a year of any great accomplishments long to be remembered, it has been a happy and successful one. l21l lla Huriainia Scholarship Society The Scholarship Society has been quite active for the past year, al- though its membership has been small. Oficers were elected at the beginning of the year, and a record of all business transacted has been kept. A new state constitution and a revised chapter constitution have been adopted. We have decided to have an Honor Scroll upon which all names of graduating sealbearers will be kept. Another innovation is the novitiate pin, which will be given to each pupil who belongs to the Society for three suc- cessive periods. In November, Allen Owen and Fenton Holloway attended the State Convention at Los Angeles and learned a great deal about the aims of the Society. One Senior, Louise Griffin, will receive the coveted Scholarship Pin at the coming' graduation exercises. Merit System The Merit System was started in our school about a year and a half ago, in order that the students might have a more active part in the control of the school. After three semesters' trial, the majority of the students think this system a great help to the school. Each student has one hundred merits at the beginning of each semester. If the student loses more than twenty merits he is unable to take any part in the school activities that semester. A decided advantage in our system is that a student who loses merits by improper conduct may earn them back by scholarship or participation in school activities such as athletics, plays, and serving on committees. The Welfare Committee acts as a court to pass on recommended merits or demerits. There are five members on the Welfare Committee, two faculty members and three students. The student members are appointed by the A. S. B., the faculty members, by the principal. The first semester Alice Smiley, Fred Ruffner, Clifford Gilkeson, Mrs. Solovsky, and Miss Holmes were members of this committeeg and the second semester Mary Morehart, Neal Westrope, Richard Rudolph, Mrs. Solovsky, and Miss Holmes served on it. l-221 Ea liurizima A.

We also were somewhat less fortunate than in other years in that we did not have as many speakers as usual, although the addresses we did have the privilege of listening to were very interesting and instructive. Among those who talked to us were: Mr. Goodcell, representing the Southern Cali- fornia Auto Club, who addressed us on Safety Firstg and Mr. Watts and Mr. Cardoza, of the Kiwanis Club, who awarded the prizes for the essays written by the students on Care of the Teeth. A little later in the year Professor Metcalf and Mr. Fairbanks, of the University of California, demon- strated an apparatus for rural fire prevention. On December 14, we had our annual Christmas party at which Santa Claus presided. We also had a White Gift Booth for charity, as usual. This has become an event that is looked forward to by the students. The only programs given this year, to date, were given by the faculty and the Junior class. We are looking forward to some very good programs to be given, in the future, by the different classes. l23I Ilia liuriaima Girls' League The Girls' League was busy the first part of the term getting ready for the fourth annual convention, which was to be held in Santa Maria on October thirteenth. It pleased us very much to have so many girls present at this meeting. About seventy attended, the largest number to represent Lompoc since the organization of the League. The main speaker of the morning program was Mrs. Helen Matthewson Laughlin, dean of women of the University of California at Los Angeles. Her topic was Opportunity and Responsibility. When the business meeting was adjourned at noon, we went over to the Recreation Room of the Methodist Church, where lunch was served. During luncheon we were entertained by the different schools belonging to the District League. For our part of the program, Marjorie Fisher danced a Spanish dance, and Rebecca Stockton gave a farcical tight rope walk. At 2.30 in the afternoon we all went to the football game to see Lompoc play against Santa Maria. ' At Christmas time we had our customary charity box. This year, more than in previous years, everyone in the school seemed to have the true Christ- mas spirit, to be more interested and willing to co-operate. As a result, we had an unusually large number of contributions in the gift box, which we were glad to turn over to the Associated Charities for distribution. Our annual Hi Jinks was planned for November 5, but about that time the gym decided to have a party of its own and blew up in great style, and the Hi Jinks had to be postponed till later. Finally the date was set for March eighth. When the night ar- rived, a large crowd gathered, dressed in all sorts of unique and ridiculous costumes. Some came as tramps, milk maids, and clowns, others appeared with powdered wigs, and in their mother's old fashioned dresses with leg of mutton sleeves and hoop skirts. ' Refreshments were served, and once more the Girl's Hi Jinks came to a happy end. l24l mll1g1I1'i5illIiI ,, 6 'gnu Qt g 1 1 I E n 'I V V as . t . i r f i B . m2'fS l , .45 ' iiir my li lv , 2f' i 2 L as I 1 'T . it un? . 1- , if - Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club is composed of e'ghteen girls from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. In the preceding years the girls have worked on two-part pieces, but now they have advanced to three-part harmony. The girls have made several appearances this year, and their singing has been greatly appreciated by all who have heard them. On special occasions the girls always wore their new uniforms, white smocks and light blue tiesg this added' much to the pleasing appearance of the group. A proposed innovation, which will affect all musical classes, is now being dfscussed. The students of music are hoping that in the future their work will be recognized by a'letter or pin, such as those given for participation in sports. It has been proposed to give those students who have taken music for two years a letter in the shape of a UG clef. From then on, for each year the student participates in music an eighth-note will be added to the clef. If a pupil has taken music four consecutive years, he shall be given a pin in the form of a C clef. If this proposition is passed, every girl in the Glee Club will receive a letter, and four will receive pins. l25l lla lguriziinia y - isrris li The Senior Play The Senior class of 1929 chose for their annual play a clever three act comedy taken from Peter B. Kyne's Cappy Ricks. They successfully present- ed it at the Lompoc Theatre, March twenty-second. The plot centers around an interesting character, Captain Alden P. Ricks, now a retired sea captain in the shipping business. Cappy receives word that the captain of his ship, the Retriever, has been killed and that Matt Peasley, a new recruit on the ship, has taken charge of the ship. Cappy sends a tough Swede, Captain Peterson, to take charge of the Retriever. He also gives Peterson orders to thrash Peasley for taking com- mand of the ship. Peasley foils Cappy's plans and triumphantly sails the Retriever home. The two men become rivals in business and become involved in a mix-up. Peasley falls in love with a Goldie Glake, who later proves to be Cappy's daughter, Florence. Finally Peasley's success wins admiration from Cappy and Cappy gives his consent to a marriage between Florence and Matt. Those in the cast were: Alden P. Ricks ......

A few who were in the group last year have dropped out, but new members have increased the total from eighteen of last year to twenty-one at present. The orchestra practices every morning, except Friday, from eight o'clock until school time. In this way it always has a number of pieces ready to play for different school affairs. It has played for some town organizations, besides playing for assemblies, school plays, and school activities. The members of the organization are: Allen Owen, violing Pat Sims, violin, Harry Betaque, violin, Ross Ruth, violin, Elvey Callis, violin, Pauline Llpsey, viollng Ruby Drury, violln, Mamie Pensa, violing LeRoy Begg, bari- tone, Randles DeWeber, baritone, Kenneth Helges, cornetg Dale Callis, cornetg Arthur Read, cornetg Hugh Schuler, mellophoneg Leila Myers, cello, Jack Burton, clarinet, Harold McCain, drums, Johnny Graton, bells, Alice Smiley, piano. Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club has spent a very profitable year under the direc- tion of Miss Hamann. They have not only gained more ability in their line but have also given, with the help of the Freshman Girls' Glee Club, a very successful operetta, Rings in the Sawdustf' While this play was not sup- posed to be very complicated, it gave the boys a chance to demonstrate their ability. Norval Miller, as the leading character, played a fine part, and Marjorie Fischer, as the leading lady, also demonstrated her ability. George Schuler, Ruby Drury, Esther Harris, and Edwin Holloway did some excellent acting, while William Schuyler and Donald Hall played their roles as comedians exceedingly well.

The Freshman Reception was looked forward to with a great deal of glee- ful expectation by the Sophomoresg as for the Freshmen, Well, you know that Freshie feeling- Oh if I were only a Senior. The Sophomores proved more resourceful than ever thfs year and were able to keep the Freshies on their toes waiting for the next stunt. This enjoyable party was soon followed by the Freshman return party, Slnce this v. as a masquerade everyone enjoyed himself to the utmost. During the year the Juniors gave- several small dances. Although these were given for tlie purpose of raislng money for the Junior Prom, they were none tl1e less enjoyable and will long be remembered, especially by the Juniors. A new idea of having each class sponsor a dance was inaugurated this year. So far, the Seniors have been the only class to give a dance. We were all very glad to see a good crowd and to observe, especially, that there were many alumini attendQng. , Now we are looking eagerly forward to the big event of the year, the Junior Prem. Due to the cifcrts of the Juniors, it is expected to be one of the best Proms yet given.

At the beginning of the year we had an end to work toward, and throughout the year every member of the class has done all he could toward accomplishing that end. We have been very active in school work during the past year. Many of the offices of the Student Body, Girls' League, Scholarship Society, Welfare Committee, and other student activities were held by Juniors. We fared .well in athletics, winning the interclass basketball champion- ship. Not so many Juniors came out for athletics as from some of the other classes, but those that were out made a good record for the class. The following received letters in athletics: In Heavyweight Football, Kenneth Heiges and Mario Vial, Lightweight Football, Clarence Olinger, Pat Sims, and Neal Westropeg Lightweight Basketball, Ed Horn and Vincent Vallag Baseball, Kenneth Heiges, Mario Vial, and Ed Horn. The Juniors presented a very enjoyable program to the Student Body May 3, 1929. It was concluded by the Juniors' presentation of the Xmas Tree to the school. l3ll In 2Huri5ima l32l En lkiuriaimn -1 V A ' CG , wi el 5 2 D EF T - Y W, i my f mme Hunley i President .,,,............ ,,,,,,,, F red Ruffner Vice-President .,..,,. ....,,,,,,.,,, E va Lajr Secretary ..,......, ...........

They contributed many able students to the Student Body, who held offices or played on the High Schools teams. In the Freshman vs. Sophomore Brawl the Sophomores won by a good majority and then wanted to fight the Juniors. They also went into the semi- finals in inter-class basketball, and they won the relay at the inter-class track meet. In this sport they made only enough points to put them in third place. Don Hall was a success as an Irishman in the Freshman Operetta given by the Freshman at the Lompoc Theater. A very successful play, Wurzel-Flumimeryf' was put on before the Student Body by some of the class members in a way that showed the school the Sophomores have plenty of pep and school spirit. l33l 711.21 iguriaimn i341 ' In Hitrinimeu - ,v 'jg-, 3a-.-,ir-. i n 1 , , ,: - , -Q., ,,,..,, Az.. 151' lm., ' are .

The first event in our high school life was a brawl between the Freshmen and Sophomore boys. We were beaten, but not discouraged. The next thing ahead of us was the Freshman Reception. We went to the affair expecting something dreadful, but we had a good time, and when the party ended we felt more at ease with our rivals. Having had such a jolly evening with the Sophomores, we decided to give them as good a time, and gave them a Hallowe'en return party on October 26. This over, we turned our attention to an operetta and gave the Rings In The Sawdustn on April 12. A week later, as a climax, the cast had a jolly picnic at Miguelito Park which will long be remembered. l35l Bla iiuriaima The Junior High School First Semester Second Semester' Lloyd Canfield .............

Don't see anybody waiting for you, but all you have to do is follow the road for about three or four miles and y0u'll come to the house, said the conductor as he pointed guidance to Dick Richardsg you can't miss it. Thanks for taking all the trouble, responded the young man. Guess I can find my way. t'That's all right, no trouble at all. So it was that Dick Richards descended from the train leading Silver, his dog. The train pulled out, and he and his dog were left alone. Rather late and dark time of the night to arrive, isn't it, old fellow? observed Dick, giving the dog an affectionate pat on the head. Been rain- ing like thunder, and it's starting in again. Wonder where old Bill is. I guess he must have overslept by the looks of things. Well, we may just as well start out as long as he isn't here. Come on, Silver. They started down the road, which they found very slippery and muddyg Dick in a brisk walk, every now and then stepping into a puddle of water and muttering to himself. Silver followed in a slow trot, picking out his way better than his master. It began to rain harder and Dick began looking for shelter but none was to be found. The thunder resounded against the hills around him. When they had walked about two miles the lightning, flashing again, revealed a huge old mansion about a hundred yards from the road. Ah! Shelter at last. Come on, Silver. You aren't any too dry yourself. They started towards the house, but just then the roar of an engine was heard, and around the corner came the lights of a car. Bet that's Bill. Bless him if it isf' shouted Dick, and as the car drew nearer he called: Hey! Bill! That you? Yeh! Get in the car before you get any wetter. You're soaked now. I say, Dick, I'm sure sorry this had to happen. We had a heck of a time getting down here, tho. We only got stuck three times and very near the same thing about six times, and just as we got across that little wooden l33I 71221 ltluriuimu bridge it washed out. So I guess we don't go back tonight. Weill just have to make the best of things and stay here all night, much as I hate to do it. I don't mind a bit. I was just looking at the old place, and it looks pretty good compared to the condition out here. Anybody live there, or is it so dark that my eyes deceive me? asked Dick, as he climbed into the car, calling Silver to get in too. No, no one lives there. It's my old house. Been in the family for about seventy-five years, and handed down to me by my great aunt. Queer old place, everybody's afraid of it and we'll be daring the fates by staying there all nightg or so some of the people around here think, answered Billg espe- cially on a night like this. What's the matter with it, spooks or something of the phantom world? asked Dick laughingly. I don't know, answered Bill simply, but I guess we'll have to stay here because I wouldn't get out in the rain, and push this car again for nothing. Johnson, to the chauffeur, drive on up to the old house here. Up to this house, sir? asked Johnson, his eyes big with wonder. Yes, directed Bill. Very well, sir. They drove up to the house, got out and went up to the door. You think we ought to go in or stay out here? asked Bill. The wind and rain don't strike us here on the terrace. 'Tm going in, responded Dick. It's too cold out here for me. Got the key to the old place? If you're so scared, why I'll open it for you. Sure, right here in my pocket, was the answer, and he handed the key to Dick, who opened the door. Silver walked in ahead but turned and backed out suddenly growling, the hair on his neck standing on end. What's the matter, old boy, asked Dick. Kinda dark and dreary in there, or are you seeing ghosts already? The dog only growled for answer and cowered at his master's heels. I've never been in the house before, so I don't know much about it excepting that there's a staircase opposite the door, my great aunt's chamber was at the left of it, and Katherine's-Katherine was her niece-at the right of it, said Bill. Then, Bring the flashlight, Johnson, and let's see where we are. Johnson started forward, but just then a terrible, ghostly cry was heard. At the same time soft footsteps were heard on the stairway. Bill, Dick, Johnson, and the dog bolted out the door just in time to see a faint light coming from the attic window, revealing a kneeling figure with something in her hand. Then the light faded. Let's get back in the house and see what happened, whispered Dick. Come on. As they got half way across the floor, footsteps were heard coming down from up above. Put out that flashlight, whispered Bill. 1391 Ea Muriainla They stood waiting. Down, down came the footsteps, pausing now and then, but only for a short time. At last they came nearer. This time they stopped on the first landing for a longer time. They came on down then to the bottom of the steps and were no longer heard. Bill, Dick, and Johnson stood as if petrified, not daring to move. Silver ran over to the bottom of the stairs, the hair on his neck ruffled. Aw heck, what's the matter with you guys? chided Dick, you're standing there as if you're scared to death. That cry was probably just the wind outside and that light in the attic probably a reflection from lightning. But say, Bill, didn't you say that people were afraid of the old place? Some kind of a story linked to it or something? asked Dick. Yes, responded Bill, there is. At least this is what has been related to me. One night when my great aunt was having a ball, she invited a Frenchman who was Very interested in jewels and admired her diamond brooch and necklace. That night when everyone had left, the Frenchman still lingered admiring the jewels. This seems to have aroused Kather1ne's sus- picions about him. Katherine was my great aunt's niece. Later that night, Katherine's aunt was killed. That accounts for the cry and the fact that jewels were stolen. Many people thought it was Katherine who had killed her aunt and then had stolen the jewels, but I don't think so. For as the story goes, and as we heard in here, footsteps go up the stairs at the same time the scream is uttered. The footsteps go up to the first landing, stop, then go on up to the attic: a light comes on and a figure is seen kneeling with a box in her hand, she opens it, nods her head approvingly, and the light fades. Footsteps are heard on the way down, stopping once in awhile, but longest at the first landing. Dick, somewhere in this house I believe those jewels are hidden. Heaven knows where, I don't. Is that all? queried Dick. All that I know of. Every time I made up my mind to come in here that ghost appears, and, well, for some reason or other it just puts the the notion out of my headf' I admit it made my heart thump once or twice, and my knees are still shaking, but let's go up to the attic and see what happened up there, said Dick. All right. Come on, Johnson, and bring the flashlight, responded Bill. Silver's master had to coax him more than once to follow. As they walked up the stairs the flashlight exposed a large picture on the wall. That, said Bill, is Katherine. Yes? asked Dick, studying the picture intently. The picture of Katherine was in a lovely old gilt frame. Katherine was very lovely, with beautiful golden hair and brown eyes. They went on up the stairs to the attic door and pushed it open. It creaked and squeaked on its hinges. Inside was a conglomeration of spider webs, old furniture, and old clothes. . Gosh, what a place, whispered Bill. Not very inviting, contested Dick. l40l lin ltlurinixnu They looked around intently for awhile, knocking away cob webs and looking over the old dust covered things there. Nothing up here for evidence of what we saw, Dick. f'Nope, she didn't leave a bit of evidence, not even a broken cob web, was the answer. Well, I guess we might just as well go down and wait until tomorrow night to come back and be more prepared for what is going to happen. I wonder if we can sleep now. But there was no sleep that night. They were still talking in the attic about one-thirty when they decided to go down stairs. As they drew near the head of the stairs they heard footsteps cautiously and softly come out of the room to the right of the stairs, walk over to the room at the left of the stairs, wait awhile as if listening, and then start to ascend the stairs. Get back to the attic qu'ck, and we'll see what happens this time, whispered Bill, and they hurried silently back. Listen, she's coming up stairs again. Sh! She's stopped on the first landing. What's that scraping? Sounds like a hand on the wall? Now she's coming on againj' whispered Dick. It was dark as pitch in the attic, the trees outside lashed against the house as if angry. There was a sudden burst of thunder, then rain fell, obscuring every sound, so they waited expectantly for the ghost. After what seemed to be hours of waitlng Silver snarled, growled, and crouched close to his master. The rain ceased as suddenly as it had started, and again footsteps were heard. A ghastly figure entered the room, a small light in her hand. She was dressed in white, her long golden hair hanging in waves down her back. In one hand she carried a candle, in the other a jewel case. She gazed longingly at it for a moment, took the key from the chain around her neck, and opened the case. She took out a blank paper, under which were some jewels, two of these stood out amongst the rest, a diamond brooch and a pearl necklace. Then she took the blank paper, wrote upon it, folded it, and put it back in the case. Then she did a very curious thing: she left the key in its lock, arose, and went out. Footsteps were heard going stealthily down to the first landing. There they stopped, waited for some time, and then went on. Bill, Dick, Johnson, and Silver stood spellbound. 'ASO my ancestors didn't just fancy that they saw a ghost of Katherine, it was true, said Bill in a low voice as if to himself. Then Dick came out of his spell. Heavens! Bill, did you see too? I had no idea what was going to happen. But the dickens! Let's get over these weird ideas and get down to facts. You saw too, dIdn't you, Johnson? And if you both heard the same as I did the footsteps only paused once, about on the Hrst landing, but more important than that is the fact that she left the key in the jewel case. Isn't that right? You bet it is, sir, responded Johnson quickly, while Bill nodded his head. l41l In liurisinm I'm just wondering why she came back up here, said Bill still as if talking to himself. Let's go down and see what happened, Johnson broke in, he started out the door, not waiting for the rest of them. They left the attic, Johnson now walking in back so as to cast the light in front of them. They soon came to the first landing. What the devil, Dick! That picture of Katherine has been moved. See! It's slanted to one side. This came in an agitated whisper from Bill, who was so excited that he rushed for the picture, trying in vain to move it. You'll have to help, Dick, I can't do this alone, said Bill as he tugged at the picture. With Dick's help the picture came off, revealing a small hole in the wall in which a jewel case was placed. It's the same one she carried. Look at it! And there's the key, ex- claimed Dick. They took the case out and opened it. Inside lay the jewels and a paper yellow with age. See what's on the paper, Dick, said Bill. Dick unfolded the paper and read: Herein I con fess stealing my aunt's jewels, but I did not kill her. The Frenchman is responsible for that. I knew she didn't kill my great aunt, said Bill. 'Tm glad we found out, aren't you? --Edna Ruffner, '29 THE PANSIES I pass in the cool of the evening Along my garden walk, Where you lift your smiling faces And seem almost to talk.

When our vice-president said, The Juniors are glad to present to the school our first successful tree, a look of wonder went over the faces of some, but a knowing smile passed from Junior to Junior. They shared the optimism of the speaker. This tree would surely be a success, they said. For they knew, in part at least, the story back of the Christmas tree that had not been successful. The tree idea started some time before Christmas when the Juniors re- membered they must provide the tree for our Christmas party. The president appointed a committee of four sturdy young Juniors and charged them to go to the woods and bring home the finest and most robust tree possible. So it was that on December 12, four mighty men of the Junior Class set out to get a tree that could be used for our Christmas festivities for years to come. It was raining hard, but nothing could daunt these husky Juniorsg cheered on as they were by their fellow classmen, they resolved to do or die. ' When they arrived at their destination, they began searching for a tree worthy to be the gift from the Junior Class to coming generations. Perhaps their aspirations were too great, and the tree they chose too large. For its roots went deep, and the rain-drenched workers found that digging the tree was no small task. Then the shovel handle broke and they had to finish the work with a pick. Just what happened in the end no one seems to know, for not one of the Woodmen would tell. Enough that it seemed a wise plan to bring home their tree with speed and plant it without delay, with no accompanying ceremony but the increasing patter of the rain. Then dark hints began to be heard from them, hints that the little pine might not live to see a second Christmas. But few paid attention to their insinuations. For a month after the tree was planted it looked like the huskiest pine that ever grew. But as time passed, a subtle change seemed to take place. Gradually the lively green of its needles turned to a sickly yellow. And finally the most optimistic and loyal Juniors that eat in front of the Manual Training building had to acknowledge that our tree was dead. Loud were the protests of our committeemen that a gopher had chewed the roots, but, somehow or other, no one believed them. The next thing to do was to dfg the old tree out and get another one. For this we went to the florist, not to the forest. Now no one is to think we did this because we are lazy. No, this time we wanted to be sure that all the roots were there. So once more a hole was dug and this time our tree was planted with great ceremony. l43l lla lguriainia With the members of the Student Body gathered around, the tree was formally presented. Three of our girls sang Joyce Kilmer's Trees Our vice president then gave the presentation speech. Then the sound of a cornet was heard playing The Star-Spangled Banner. The assembled group listen- ed in utter silenceg and as the last strain died away every Junior felt sure the tree would be a truly successful one. --The Juniors. THE OLD OAK TREE There he stands, that ancient tree, As still and stern as a tree can be. A warrior old and worn is he. The Woodmen come with their axes sharpg The blades bite deep and they pierce his bark, And he falls with a shudder and groan. -Ross Ruth, '31 F ' 1, tfi rwwa ,A f - Vi,f:-f- wigs? Iii-sf 5 v..u..l,.., l44l Ilia Huriuima Gold Madness It was an unusually miserable and sultry day for summer in the foot- hills of Amador. The green of the hills had faded to a dusty brown. The large live oaks stood motionless. Narrow tracks wound through the scrubby brush to the small stream that ran below the hills. A rudely constructed shanty stood at the mouth of one of the canyons. A few feet from the shanty was a Corral, its only occupant a small weather- beaten burro. The door to the shanty opened and two men came out. They were dressed in the rough outfit of miners. Both were in need of a shave and haircut. They had long been in search of that one thing that had brought to man both happiness and hardship, life and death-gold. The older man was the larger. He was a huge specimen of a well developed man, over six feet in height, with broad shoulders and muscular arms, and weighing over two hundred pounds. He fairly towered over the smaller man. They were carrying some mining pans and grub, which they quickly packed on the burro. Driving the burro in front of them, they headed for the south fork of the stream. Jim, the larger man, spoke, 'Tm sure we'll find it today, Jerry. Jerry Wearily sighed, Say, I'm beginning to think there aint no sech thing in these here hills. I wouldn't say that, Jerry. We've been pretty fortunate so far, said Jim. Yeh, we managed to pay for our victuals. I'm gettin' tired of the whole thing, grumbled Jerry. They resumed their journey in silence. In about an hour they came to the south fork of the stream. They unpacked the burro, and hobbled it. After taking a portion of the grub, Jerry went up the right side of the fork and Jim took the left. They had agreed to meet at the apex about four. They panned the streams all morning without much success. Jerry managed to get a few flakes, but these were not much encouragement. By noon he had become totally disgusted and abandoned all thoughts of work. Half heartedly he ate his lunch, and then began to retrace his steps to the apex of the fork. It was only a few minutes to one, so he decided to go up the left side of the stream and meet Jim. He had been walking up stream for an hour before he first caught a glimpse of Jim. When he sighted his partner he was dumbfounded with amazement. Jim was on his knees bending over his pan. He was running his fingers thru gold, for the pan proved to be half full of the precious metal. When Jim felt the presence of Jerry, he was startled. He quickly drew his gold to himself, and placed his hand on his six-shooter. Selfishness and greed could be read in his eyes. Jerry approached him and asked, f'Did you really find it, pal? Jim turned on him fiercely and said: Don't call me pal, you impatient fool. I panned this and its all mine. l45l 11:1 liuriaima Please let me see it, Jim, begged Jerry. We're partners, and the law of the West says partners divide earnings. I'll give you five minutes to clear out of here, snapped Jim. It was clear that he was mad, gold mad. But instead of leaying, Jerry came closer to Jim, begging all the time to see the gold. Jim swung at Jerry with all his might, but luckily, Jerry dodged the well aimed blow. A scuffle followed, and in the scufle a pistol was dropped. Jerry grabbed the gun and pumped Jim full of lead. Jim cried out and then crumpled to the earth. Jerry felt as though he were in a trance. It didn't seem at all true. Yet there on the bank of the stream was the body of Jim. Blood was streaming from the fresh wounds. The first thought that came into his mind was to run away. He quickly packed the gold and prepared to leave. He was interrupted by a rolling and rumbling noise, and looking up he was confronted by a landslide. He gathered the gold and ran to safety. The loose hill soil came like a thunder bolt. It completely covered the body of Jim. When Jerry found that Jim's body had been buried in the slide he re- solved to stay and work the claim. He said to himself that he would tell the people that Jim had sold his claim and had left for Carson City. Jerry set about to build himself a rude lean-to, so that he could be near the claim. First he went back to get the burro and his equipment. By late evening he had made a small but comfortable lean-to in the shelter of some oaks. He prepared his supper of beans, bacon, and coffee. After supper he became drunk on cheap whiskey that he had brought. He then rolled up in his blankets and lay down to sleep, for the day had been a strenuous one for him. During the night he was suddenly awakened from his heavy sleep by a death cry of a man. The cry became louder and closer. Then with the quick- ness of lightning two huge arms and hands appeared in front of him. They were Jim's. The apparition slowly approached Jerry, who cried out in alarm and fired upon the spectre with his gun. Still the apparition came on until it was just a few feet from him. This was too much for Jerry. He cowered away from it, crying out and shouting for help. But his only answer was the echo sounding down the canyon. He rapidly approached the edge of a steep cliff. Still the huge arms and hands came on. 'When he was but a few feet from the edge, the apparition made a lunge at Jerry. Once more Jerry cried out and turned to run to safety, but in the confusion he plunged headlong into the deep ravine. Then deep stillness spread over the hills. The only sign of life was the small weather beaten burro cropping the short grass near by. -Stanley Horn '29. l46l 13:1 lguriaima Dodge Delivery Truck March 3:-Well, I had a nice day today. Jack, my driver, drove me to the gas station about eight o'clock this morning. Gee, I like that trip. That sweet smell of gasoline makes my mouth water. When they were filling me with that cool, fresh stuff, I saw a new Ford go by. I don't think there is any other animal as stuckup as a new flivver. Just because she is shiny and new, she thinks she is everything. Wait two years from now and that thing will look like a first class wreck. Well, I guess the old girl needs a good cleaning, I heard Jack say. Boy, I was going to have a bath. That was all right. But then he called me an old girl! Was I really getting old? But my thoughts were cut short, because I was put on a queer thing and elevated about eight feet into the air. Before I knew it, I felt the cool water squirting on my body. Then they brought me down to the earth. They polished me and dried me. I sure felt keen. Boy! Wait till that new Ford sees me all cleaned up, it won't feel so superior. March 4:-Gosh, but I hated to go to work this morning. I was so clean. Dirty old clothes, that's all they stuck in me all day long. March 5:-Dirty clothes once more! But in spite of the dirty clothes I had fun. About 3:15 this afternoon I was driven down to the High School. They put sloppy, wet towels in me. Give us a ride, stuckup,?' a bunch of peppy girls yelled. So I stopped myself in the middle of the street. You're a fine one. Just because your old girl is cleaned up you didn't want to give us a ride, did you? There it goes: old girl again. This made me angry, and I choked myself in the middle of the street. As I did this I heard a shrill horn behind me. I looked back and there was that high-hat of a Ford trying to get by. Well, I just took all the more time to get out of the road, just to make her angry. Then the girls started to yell that they wanted to hurry home. I thought I'd show those kids a trick or two, so I started out on full speed. The girls went sprawling over the wet towels. I laughed, right out loudg couldn't help it, they looked so funny. They giggled too. Instead of taking them home I took them to the laundry. Everything in this truck is treated like bundles and are taken to the laundry, Jack told them. They all piled out and admitted that it was a good joke. March 6:-Ah! The day has come at last. All day I delivered clean clothes. They were wrapped in nice, neat packages. I was not tired, because they put the bundles in me gently. I rode so carefully, for I wanted to keep that laundry in a good condition. l47l Eu Hurisinra March 7:-Worked very hard today, but nothing exciting happened. Didn't see that sneering Ford today. March 8:-I delivered down at Surf today. The ocean looked so peace- ful and beautiful. I'd like to live near the ocean. That impudent Lizzy was down there and had to spoil the scene for me. If that tin can doesn't loosen up, it will lose its radiator cap. March 9:-Fun! Talk about fun! I took a bunch of girls to Miguelito today. But on the way back I witnessed the most horrible accident. I was just coming around a sharp curve and I saw that new Ford go off the road. I caught my breath and held it as I saw it roll down the side of the bank three times. See! I said that it would be a first class wreck. I laughed to myself. That thing won't be such a high-hat anymore. . But my wicked thoughts were cut short. For I heard moans of agony coming from the base of the bank. I looked and I saw the little thing all broken up and helpless. So I gently pulled her up on the road and carried her to the hospital. They told me that it would be abouta month before my poor friend would be out. April 10:-I can hardly believe it. I'm going away from Jack tomorrow. Gee, but it's the rocks to leave a good master. But he says I'm old and out of style. I'm going to be sold to an old bakery man. Oh, wellg such is life. You just have to wait and see what happens. April 11:-They changed my name and painted a sign with great big, red letters. I wanted to go see my friend. But I didn't get time. April 12:-Today is my first day of the new work. . Why are we always clumsy at a new job? I was carrying a fresh pie and beautiful birthday cake for a sweet young girl, and as I was turning a corner my doors flew open and out went all of the pastry and that marvelous cake. Gee, but it hurts to know that I had flunked the first day of my new job, but in a way I was glad because my driver is so darn rough with me. I sure miss Jack. He was so good tome. April 14:-I've been going up to the Celite lately and I'm getting to be an expert in Spanish. Today I passed the new laundry wagon. Man, but he's spiffy. He strut- ted down the road like a young turkey. He parked near a Ford that was painted up in modernistic style. I drew up along side of them, for I felt that I wanted to speak to them. HI wonder where the old laundry wagon has disappeared to, I heard the Ford say. Why, that's me, I stuttered. l43l Tia Huriuima Well, well. Hello, old pal. How's the kid? How long you been work ing for the bakery? The Ford greets me. I don't know you. I stammered. 'tSay, pal, don't you remember the guy that you pulled out of the ditch'?' he asked. ' I nodded. 'fWell, that's me. I've a real artistic owner, that's why I've changed. In the mean time I saw Jack in the new laundry truck. He didn't even speak to me. No pienso que tampoco me vio. -Elisa Lafourcade, '30 MY LITTLE BULL-DOG AND ME Down on the beach by the sea On a shell-covered rock sat we, One little bull-dog and me. We gazed at the sky, we gazed at the sea, And all was as still as still could be. We gazed at a pool that had formed at our feet. That had been left by the waves in their swift retreat. And down in the pool whom should we see But one little bull-dog and me. -Ross Ruth, '31 WASHING DAY Washing day! Washing day! Everything is in the way. Shirts, stockings, and calicocs.

Nearly all of the games were close and well played. Two victories, five defeats, and one tie tell the tale of the blue and white grid invasion. We opened our football season entertaining Ventura on our home field. This game was interesting, but the team did not function together. We then invaded the San Luis grldiron and held them to a scoreless tie. We were defeated by both Santa Maria and Santa Barbara by compara- tively large scores. These do not begin to tell the struggle that the blue and white gave them. Next year the team will be handicapped by the loss of several lettermen: Lawrence Schuyler, Sam Morehart, CliH Gilkeson, Don Main, Stan Howerton, Ernie Gorzell, Lowell Horn, Stan Horn, Morton White, and Bud Moody. There will be five returning lettermen: Mario Vial, Ed Kalin, Hartley Glidden, Alfred Guerra, and Kenneth Heiges. With these returning lettermen, and new material coming from the lower classes, the prospects are favorable for next season. Ventura 7g Lompoc 0. Santa Maria 275 Lompoc 7.

This made the prospects bright for another county title. A Our first league game was against Santa Ynez. At the end of the game the score stood 42 to 17 in our favor. This showed the ability of the team to hit the hoop. Santa Barbara journeyed up to our stronghold with a powerful aggre- gation, but were sent home with a lot to think about in the score of 27 to 17. When we invaded the court of Santa Barbara we were determined to overthrow the jinx that has always followed our team to the Olive and Gold. The battle was close from beginning to end, with outcome in doubt until the final gun. There was plenty of excitement, and many heart breaking minutes, because the lead see-sawed back aud forthg so when Father Time thought that we had battled long enough he shot the gun to lift the dust clear. When it disappeared the score board read 20 to 19 in our favor. Another county championship. We next sent our fighting Blue and White after the scalp of San Luis for the championship of both counties. This game was as exciting as the Santa Barbara encounter. When this hectic struggle ended we were defeated by a score of 22 to 19. l52l Ea lguriaimn Lightweight Basketball When the season began there was only one returning letterman, which made it necessary to develop a squad from green material. In spite of this the lightweights were able to hold their opponents to a comparatively small score, though they did not win a league game. Those making letters were Captain Fred Ruffner, Ed Horn, Dale Callis, Erminio Manfrina, Harry Rule, Ross Ruth, Vincent Valla, Atilio Rivaldi. With all the lettermen returning the prospects are favorable for a good team next year. Lompoc lg Santa Maria 15. Lompoc 55 Santa Maria 19. Lompoc 63 Santa Maria 10.

There is not much to say about baseball, since the annual goes to press as the season is just starting, and only two games have been played, Lompoc lost the first game to Santa Barbara, but the team showed a real spirit of fight. The next game was played with Santa Ynez. This game ended in a victory for the High School bat wielders. There are four remaining league games to be played, and chances appear favorable for a winning team. l54l Flin Ieuriainiu Girls' Basketball Team The girls, basketball team did not have much showing this year. Several games were scheduled, but on account of the gym explosion they had to be cancelled, as this was the only available place to play. The team have practised faithfully every Monday night.

Those who represented this year's basketball team are: Irene Howerton, forward, second year. Alice Smiley, forward, second year. Lena Moody, forward, second year. Janie Grossi, guard, third year.
