James Higgins More genuine school spirit has definitely marked the A. S. B. meetings of this year with success. They have been held regularly every two weeks, and have become an important part of the school activities. Programs presented on a given date by the different divisions of the English classes have made the meetings much looked forward to. The classes responded very well, and it is rumored that the English students have over- come some of that so-called stage fright. Soon after school started, Mr. Seffens gave a talk on his traveling ad- ventures during the summer. The next meeting we were entertained by Miss Fisk, who told in a very interesting manner of her trip through Yellowstone National Park. October was the date of the Senior Columbus Day Program. The pa- geant was entirely arranged and written by the Senior class, Section 1, and the presentation was very creditable. The characters were: Mario Vial ..................... .......

LOMPOC UNION lf24j HIGH SCHOOL vember 11, by the Senior class, Section II. The Knife was the name of the play, the scene of which was laid in Belgium during the war. It was well pre- sented by Vivien Cronholm as Madame Duclose, Kay Batkin in the part of the grandmere, Elisa Lafourcade, the young wife of a soldier and the daughter of Madame Duclose. Robert McCain gave us some moments of suspense as the escaped prisoner, Fenton Holloway was the food administrator, and Kenneth Heiges was a Prussian officer. A reading, In Flander's Field , was given by Francine Cazenaveg another, The Answer , was read by Lena Moody. The story showed us some of the heartbreaks of the Great War. A few of the girls in the class then sang some wartime songs. The entire Student Body was af- fected by the solemnity of the occasion. On December 17 we enjoyed the large Christmas tree that the Juniors provided and the Seniors decorated. Presents were distributed by our good friend Santa Claus, on this same occasion Mr. Mockford delivered a speech on the Adventures of Life . Members of the music class also entertained us with a short skit, The Captain and the Colonel. Those taking part were: Addie Huyck, Pat Sims, Raymond Reynolds, Genevieve Ramos, Johnny Graton, and Frances Thompson. This was a clever little play, and the actors all carried off their parts well. A vaudeville program was acted out January 17 by the Junior B class. The tragic ballad of Abdul-a-bul-bul-ameer and Ivan Skivinsky Skivar was chanted by Donald Hall. Edwin Kalin assisted in the pantomimic actions of Abdul-a-bul-bul, and Everett Horn was Ivan. The curtain was lowered on the touching scene of the two warriors lying dead on the stage. Lawrence Howerton and Ed Kalin also sang, accompanied by Smittie's banjo. The vaudeville was completed with a clog dance by Irma Benedict and Addie Huyck. January 31, the Santa Barbara Glee Club came up to Lompoc to sing for us. This group, composed of a Male Quartet and a Double Octet under the direction of Miss Carter. After the Glee Club's much applauded performance, Mr. Bowhay of Santa Maria High School and Junior College addressed us, urg- ing greater interest in the scholarship society and explaining why we should strive toward it. ' A play, Pickaninny , written and directed by the 9B class, was given February 12. It dealt with a little colored girl during the Civil War. The char- acters were Lucille Lafourcade, Frances Thompson, Bill Pollock, Rosie Toffoli, Harold McCain, and Fern Murray. Both the writing of the lines and the presentation were a credit to the class. The tap dancing of Lucille as the Pickaninny was especially enjoyed. Commemorating George Washington's birthday, the Sophomore class, section 1, gave some short talks and readings. At the beginning of the assembly the entire Student Body joined in the singing of patriotic songs. Then the program was announced as follows: Sketch of Washington's Life, Erwin Hollo- wayg The Unknown Washington, Roxie Noe: Washington, the Business Man, Virginia Parks, Washington's Farewell Address, Marjorie Fischer, The Vow of Washington, Mildred Canfield. The Junior A class was the next to take upon itself the responsibility
