We have a peculiar interest in you, because you first came to this campus when we arrived on the scene. We have seen you through the junior and senior high schools, and now you leave for parts unkn-own, never to assemble again. ' Our hope is that you will enter a vocation which interests you, and where- in you can get pleasure from your daily work. You have many years of work ahead of' youg if rightly situated, you can enjoy and profit from all these years. Best wishes! Yours, PERRY H. BENSON I 7 1 LA PURISIMA VKKAQI xAAAAAAA LA PURISIMA 114 FB fl: Pk Pk Senior History It was in the reign of Miss Holmes that we were led through the desert of the first days of high school. We saw looming before us a terrible appari- tion of the coming reception, but it was only a mirage. We were guided td the oasis of the Freshman return party and started on a firm basis to our climb of fame. Under our next ruler, Mrs. Solovsky, we welcomed the new members into the kingdom. Development during this period was for the most part educa- tional, although. we did have entrants in marathons and tournaments. As Juniors we had the Literary Dictator of the school, Miss Bowen, as our leader. With such backing we felt equal to anything. So before Christ- mas we gave a play, Booth Tarkington's Seventeen . The money from this went to swell the fund for the annual State Ball, otherwise known as the Junior Prom. Lest our minds be diverted from the preparation for this great social aifair, we, while the other classes frolicked at the Seashore and in the woods, were kept moving along the narrow path by our despotic ruler until after the Ball had been given.

So well pleased was the Queen that she decreed a holiday on April 22, providing she be taken on a picnic. E1 Capitan'was decided upon as the place to make merry, and on that day everyone had a royal time. The class has also made a reputation in knightly deeds, derbies, cricket, and rugby in this reign. Parliament will adjourn, June thi1'd, thus closing the history of the class of '31. 6 I' THE WAVES I walked beside the restless, moving ocean, And as I walked I watched the waves roll in. They slowly rose and fell in cease-less motion, But still their goal they always failed to win. Far up and down the shore was heard the din Of their protests against the stern, gray rock. And he1'e and there I saw the flashing fin Of some audacious fish that dared to mock The avenging fury of wave against the scornful rock. But though the silent rock may now show scorn, And proudly disregard its slow decay, The lowly Waves beat on, for they know how forlorn, With fallen pride, it may be, some future day, The ledges half gone, broken, the sharp points all worn. -Marjorie Fischer, '32 1. :1: L15l LA PURISIMA PRQPHE J I? sg , W -5 EV -1 L Og- 9.

There have been no startling events such as the explosion in the gym, but exterior improvements have been made. The biggest development is in the students and school life. We see new faces as we walk around, and we miss many' greetings which were so familiar in other years. Our school grounds have been materially beautified by the addition of shrubs and lawn in the courtyard and in the quadrangle west of the Junior High building. The -road between the two blocks of the campus has been re- moved mainly to prevent accident. This work has all been done under the direction of Mr. Kimbel. The construction class of the school is at present erecting some substantial bleachers on the edge of the football field. Mr. Nelson is in charge of this work. Our Student Body meetings this year have been less productive of busi- ness and legislation, but some really good class programs were presented for the entertainment of the students. Mr. Shirk, the new coach in charge of our athletic department, has proved himself a capable instructor as well as a personal friend of his athletes. He has made a good record in inter-school competition, especially when it is con- sidered that he had to institute his own individual system. The Girls' League drew much favorable attention this year, as all Girls' League organizations in the county were guests of the Lompoc girls at the county convention, which was held in Lompoc. The membership of the Scholarship Society showed marked increases over that of last year. Too many of us fail to realize or recognize the importance of high scholarship. Every student is at present, through education and study, building for the future. The person who accomplishes most in later life will be the one who built most carefully and conscientiously when in school. High scholarship is one of the early signs of later success. It seems that more stu- dents of our school should strive to make learning, along with athletics and general experience, a more important part of their intellectual development. Although this year has not been a year of major accomplishments in either learning or athletics, yet I am sure that we all feel that we have made good progress along the road of life. The Staff feels that with this progress there has also been some improve- ment in the Annual. We hope that you will enjoy this 1931 edition of La Purisima, and that in later years it will be a source of many cherished memories. l 23 l LA PURISIMA A. S. B.

That was the impression gained by those who attended the sixth annual convention of the Federation of Girls' Leagues of Santa Barbara County, November 1, 1930. Jolly clowns dancing over the luncheon tables and springing out of boxes, elephants leading a joyful pro- cession of caged lions and tigers, woolly bears, and frisky monkeys and ba- boons-there was our circus. The more serious part of the convention was held in the morning at the theater. Julia Curtiss extended the welcome, Let's Be Friends, after which a girl from each school in the Federation replied. Mr. E. C. Thomson, of the Presbyterian Church, gave us an instructive talk on Friendship , the theme of the convention. Following the talks a business meeting was held, during which Carpinteria was admitted to the Federation. The closing event of the day was an exciting football game in the after- noon, between Lompoc and Paso Robles. At Christmas, following the usual custom, we took charge of the High School contribution of gifts to be given to the Associated Charity, with the result that many families enjoyed a happier Christmas. We changed the order somewhat this year and held our High Jinx on March 20, instead of in the fall. Everyone, from Freshman to Senior, enter- ed into the spirit of it and made it a big success. The costumes represented every nationality imaginable. As the time came to leave, we all left telling each other it was the best High Jinx we had ever attended. l25l LA PURISIMA Hi-Y At the beginning of this school year, we held our meetings in the Science room, on Wednesday noons, but later, upon Mr. Shirk's suggestion, we changed to Wednesday mornings, before school. We were very fortunate this year in securing Mr. Shirk as our faculty adviso1'. Mr. Carmack was also here again this year, and so we had a very good advisory combination. We secured 2Mr. Merle Waterman to speak in assembly, and we think that everyone who saw his funny antics at the piano will agree that he was very interesting. . The membership of the Hi-Y is at present six. We took in two new members, Ross Ruth and Wilbert Fitzpatrick. The other members are Harry Betaque, Dale Callis, Denning McArthur, and Harry Rule. In March, the Older Boys' Conference was held in Santa Barbara. Those attending from Lompoc were: Dale Callis, Harry Betaque, Denning McArthur, and M1'. Carmack. Denning McArthur was the treasurer of the Conference. if Pk PIG fl: all California Scholarship Federation, Chapter 49 The Lompoc Chapter of the California Scholarship Federation has passed one of the most active years in its history. It has had a larger membership than usual, having five or six students enrolled each report period. This large enrollment gave four students, Marjorie Fischer, Lois Jennings, Evelyn Main, and Dale Callis, the right to wear the official Novitiate Pin of the organization. A delegation of six members, accompanied by Miss Bowen, attended the Regional Convention at Fullerton, April 18. This was made possible through the financial aid of the Girls' League and transportation provided by some of the parents. The delegation gave a report of their good time at the conven- tion to the Student Body. This gave the students a chance to see what the Federation is doing. l26l LA PURISIMA The Creator's Club Formed last year with a membership of twenty students of the domestic science class sponsored by Mrs. Benson, the Creators' Club has accomplished several important projects during the year. The officers chosen for this year were: Lois Jennings, presidentg Anna Allcott, vice-presidentg and Julia Curtiss, secretary. At the beginning of the term the club was divided into three groups, with as many projects. Chief among the activities of the girls was the annual trustees' dinner, served in the domestic science department, the six course meal being planned and served by the girls. This year the effect of a flower garden was achieved in the room where the banquet was served. Wisteria was used for the ceiling, and butterfly lights provided a soft and beautiful illumination. An arbor was made of ferns and rambler roses, and tiny dolls in moline dresses, carrying baskets of flowers, were used for place cards. The girls wore green and white aprons, and conducted the dinner in a creditable manner. For the Flower Show the girls displayed breakfast, luncheon, and dinner tables. Another activity was the planting of sweet peas to provide flowers for the class rooms. The girls also made scrap-books which contained menus, table decorations, budgets, and plans for house furnishings. Every Monday the club received home nursing and personal hygiene in- struction from Dr. Lela Beebe or Miss Helen Canfield, representatives of the county public health service. The girls have been provided with valuable training through their mem- bership in the Creators' Club, and have accomplished definite results from their special training in the new organization. In general, their time was well spent.

Lean Lewey, the hero, was determined to become an aviator like Lind- bergh. His parents were equally determined that his walk of life be insurance selling. His sister, Margaret, always in opposition to her brother's whims, was a Happer trying to catch Mr. Allen, the town shiek. Lean Lewey was made the hero of the day by accidentally accomplishing a rare aviation feat. He was borne triumphantly home on the shoulders of his colleagues, with a reward of 310,000 for his daring. His parents then became willing to allow Lewey to take an aviation course. Lewey's former nonchalant attitude towards girls changed when he saw Betty, the new girl in town.

The first scene takes place in an out-of-the-way railroad station, and the last two scenes are laid in a country home near Amity. On account of a heavy storm, William Ames and Isabel Stuart are ma- rooned in a small railroad station. Ames falls in love with Isabel and pro- poses to her. In the morning Isabel's niece, a pert young fiapper called Florence, and her friend, Johnny White, rescue the two lost ones. The next scene takes place in Isabel's country home, where Florence is desperately trying to vamp Ames. To make matters worse, Isabel tries to E231 LA PURISIMA make Ames believe she is older than she really is by telling him she is Aunt Ellen's aunt. Aunt Ellen appears to be around sixty, and is introduced as Florence's great aunt. Isabel hides the Bible so there will be no proof of her true age. Disgusted with Florence, Johnny begins to flirt with Isabelg this procedure complicates things still more. In the third scene matters are all cleared up when Ames unravels the tangle of Isabel's relationships. As the play comes to a close, Ames wins Isabel, and Florence decides to be quite contented with her Johnny. THE CAST Isabel Stuart ........ ..............,..,,.. ,..,.,.

The day broke bright and clear Except for one silvery cloud in the westg This grew and formed a curtain of silver. As the old sun sped on its journey Across the heavens, colors from red to blue Blended in one the silver curtain And slowly took the form of a great arch.

Four years ago the orchestra was organized under the direction of Miss Hamann. She was the director for three years, while Mr. Gay directed it for this last year. There are eighteen members in the orchestra, three of whom will receive their four year pins this year. The number of students remains about the same. Each year two or three are lost through graduation, but there are always others to take their places. The orchestra has played for several different organizations this year, and have received many compliments on its improvements. The Glee Clubs are divided into two sections. In the class taking music the fifth period there. are about fifty girls, while in the advanced sixth period class there are about eighteen. The girls have been working' on three-part work and have done some acepella singing also. Both sections have shown great improvement. The combined music classes are now working on an operetta entitled Jerry of Jericho Road , under the direction of Mr Gay.

D of- of f ' 4 AVA 4'.'A'4'4'A'A'A The social events of the last year have slightly exceedcd in number those of previous years. September 26, 1930, marked the first event, one which is always interest- ing to the whole school, but particularly to the Freshmen and Sophomores. For that was the date of the initiating of the Freshmen at the Freshman Re- ception. Of course the Freshies were a little frightened at first, but soon got over that idea when they found out that the Sophomores were not as heartless as they seemed. The next social event was the dance sponsored by the Seniors, according to the plan they inaugurated several years ago of having each class sponsor a dance. Music was furnished by Pete Eckert and his orchestra. About this time the Freshmen decided it would be well to give the Sophomores a return party. In previous years the return party has usually been around Hallowe'en, and has therefore been a masquerade. However, this year the party was not held until November 21. The last event of the old year was the Christmas party given December 12, the day before the holidays started. With the prospect of vacation ahead, everyone was at his jolliest, and the party was made merrier by the appear- ance of Santa Claus, who distributed gifts and popcorn. To begin the New Year right, the Sophomores gave a peppy dance which was again well attended. The music was furnished by Pete Eckert's orchestra. March 20, the Girls' League gave the Girls Hi Jinx. Almost all of the girls attended, and there were many clever costumes. The girls played games, and -dajiced to music furnished by various girls. From the reports heard around school everyone had an exceedingly good time. April 17 the Freshmen gave a dance. The gym was decora.ted very attractively with their class colors, green and yellow. The High School was very pleased to see so many former students there. Everyone attending praised the Freshmen for giving one of the nicest parties of many years. The event which is now being anticipated is the Junior Prom to be held May 22. The committees are busy working to make this prom as successful as it has been in other years.

Our first success was the Junior play, The Man Higher Up . We only hope those who came to the performance enjoyed seeing it as much as we enjoyed giving it. The next notable feat was the production of Intimato Strangers. This was a most hilarious burlesque of the Senior play, Intimate Strangers . It was enjoyed especially by the Seniors. At last came the big social event, looked forward to since our early school days, the Junior Prom. The style of decoration was colonial, carrying out the plan of an old-fashioned garden of pepper boughs and hollyhocks. At one end of the garden was an old well, from which refreshments were served. Our activities were not only dramatic and social, for we took, part in other school affairs as well. We sent a delegate to the Scholarship Convention at Fullerton, our girls entertained Junior Girls from other schools during the Girls' League Convention held here last fall, and the boys have made a big showing for our class in athletics. Several Juniors have held official places in A.S.B., Girls' League, and Hi-Y. HATTIE NEGUS, '32 I Zlil J LA PURISIMA A7-VN lQ7Y7N-7X 4 QL S 5 4 5 O?

Lucille Lafourcade We came to school with a much better feeling this year than last, when we were it , Freshmen, and the source of many laughs . In September we gave the annual Freshman Reception, which was enjoyed very much by those attending. Our turn to give the Sophomore Dance came in January. This was well attended, and everyone had a good time. The music was played by the Pete Eckert Orchestra. The Sophomores again defeated the Freshmen in the annual Sophomore- F1'eshman Brawl, which was a fast tumbling battle this year. The Sophomores have held an unbroken record for several years. Our Sophomore boys have been ve1'y successful in athletics. Those being most prominent are: Lloyd Canfield, Lawrence Huyck, Harry Godet, Elvizio Manfrina, and Walter Schuyler. l34l LA PURISIMA fs, FROSH jf I a V - Q-'11l The first days of high school were exciting for the class of '34, but we soon found out that the anticipation of what was in store for us, in the way of initiation, was far worse than the actual ordeal. We realized our responsi- bilities as students, and from the first day of high school our class settled down to get what we could out of the great California school system. We received much help and encouragement from all our instructors and we ap- preciate especially the advice and help of our class adviser, Miss Pritchett. Of course the biggest event at the first of the year for the Freshmen, in the way of social activities, was the Freshman Reception. It was held at the gymnasium, and the Sophomores were our hosts. The evening proved to be a very enjoyable one. This year the Freshmen have turned out no athletic heroes or able geniuses, but we have material that promises to help our school in the future. A number of the Freshmen show talent in artistic lines, and although no Freshman received a letter in athletics, several of our boys are becoming good in that line. For our entertainment in student body we gave a very light and amusing play, The Queen of Hearts . Everyone in the cast did well, and due to the efforts of Miss Ricker, our English teacher, the entertainment was a big success. We now feel that we are full-fledged members of the student body, and we expect to live up to the best traditions of the Lompoc Union High School. E351 LA PURISIMA Eighth Grade There are ninety pupils in the eighth grade this year, the largest in the history of the Junior High school. The class is divided into three sections.

The program consists of a play and some musical numbers. Ten to twelve pupils usually take part in these programs. Alpha Beta , the scholarship society, is made up of students of high standing in the seventh and eight grades. There were twelve members in the society this year. The following girls have received their letters: Kathleen Van Zandt, Ida Rule, Stella Grossi, Ada Batkin, Thresa Acin, Margaret Canfield, Katie Rivaldi, Jean McArthur, Patsy Oliver, Margarita Lafourcade. f36l LA PURISIMA , r . . ,.--. , Seventh Grade CALENDAR OF EVENTS The Seventh Grade classes began their first year of junior high school in the customary manner, complete even to the usual ducking , which con- siderably dampened their heads but not their ardor. BOYS' ATHLETICS Speedball as the first sport was allowed considerable attention by seventh grade pupils, although the larger part of the team was made up of eighth grade boys. However, the few seventh graders , who made the team deserve much credit. The out-standing seventh grade players were Clarence Lair and Jack Smale. Basketball as the next sport was also followed with much spirit and not in vain, as the C team w-on the pennant without suffering a single defeat, while the B team barely missed winning the pennant, thereby givifng vent to some fine playing. The seventh grade regulars on the B tiram were Roscoe Murray and Howard Archerg on the C team was Clarence Lair. Baseball as the -third and last sport was also received very readily how- ever the only seventh grade players were Sioji K, Clarence Lair, Franklin Swanson, and Edwin La1'sen. SEVENTH GRADE PLAYS Seven-B gave a play at the Junior High Assembly entitled Mother Pays . The play, taken as a whole, including the a-cting, was very commendable. At the next assembly Seven-A gave two good little one-act playsg both were finely acted. KA l37l A LA PURISIMA V Tommy About the middle of August we found the big tomato worm. It was the largest one we had. ever seen, at least three inches long. It looked as if it' were made of green velvet. Along its back' was a forest of thorny spikes with bright orange spots between. One cannot imagine what a grotesque looking face it had. We called it Tommy because tomato wormf' was too long to say. We kept him in a pint jar so we could see what would happen to him. We watched him rather closely for two days, but as nothing happened we lost interest and the worm was forgotten. After about three days, when we looked at Tommy again, he had formed a white silky cocoon. We kept him on the porch all the rest of the summer. When freezing weather came in the fall we took the jar into the house where it was warm. By that time 'the color of the cocoon had changed to a dark brown. After keeping it so long we expected it to hatch soon after taking it into the warm room. We were very curious to know if it would developinto a moth or a butterfly. We looked at it, shook it, and listened to it almost every day. Finally our impatience got the better of us, and we cut the cocoon open. The shiny dark brown chrysalis inside had the general appearance of jointed armor, and it moved at several of the joints. Then we knew it was still alive and were sorry to have opened the cocoon. .So we wrapped it iPn outing Hannel to keep it warm, hoping it would still hatch. The outing flannel was a handy arrangement, because it was easy to unwrap, and thus we could keep in touch with our pet. It hatched out one night about the middle of February, and we found it in the morning hanging from the edge of the writing desk. It stayed there about two hours, exercising its wings before even trying to fiy. Our moth measured about three or three and one half inches across its wings. It was bluish gray in color with reddish brown and violet spots. It flew around near the windows and among the house plants for about two weeks before it died. i Later we read about it in a Geographic and found that it was the Cecropia Moth . We also learned that when moths first hatch their wings are full of hollow veins. They hang with their wings downward and a liquid runs into the veins and forms the framework when it hardens. Normally, a moth of this sort would hatch in the late spring or early summer. Its life time is about four weeks. -ELIZABETH SHELLMAN, '32 'lf if if 41 ,lf A Narrow Escape I was sitting on the porch with the grizzled old Forty-niner. His grand- son, riding by on a pony, shouted, Get up, Lizard!- Then, Grandpa, do you think we will get the mail through afore midnight? The old man chuckled. Oh, the good old pony express days, he said. l39l LA PURISIMA That reminds me of an experience I had while delivering the mail by pony express in the sixties. PIC :lf 11 221 254 It was when I was carrying the mail from Denver to Hot Springs, Colo- rado. I had a very faithful pony. I called her Lizard, and she never failed me. One Thursday Lizard and I started from Denver, on our way to Hot Springs with the mail. When we got about three miles from town the sky grew black, and it started to snow. I had to get the mail through in spite of anything that might happen. We rode on. The snow was now falling in sheets. I didn't get excited because I had been in hard snows before. On and on the good pony took me. Finally the snow got so deep Lizard could only make one mile in an hour. I had fifty miles yet to go, and dark- ness was gaining on usfast. But I could not give up now. The snow was two feet deep on the ground. I could not see ahead of me very far, but kept on traveling. I was about to give up when about ten feet in front of me I made out the outlines of a cabin. My first thought was to get a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. I reined up to the door and rapped three times. There was no afnswer at first, but when the door did open, I' was very much surprised to find an old white-haired man appear. I took him for around seventy-five. He had a long white beard which reached to his waist. He gave me more than hearty welcome and also seemed surprised to see meg for he said, I have seen no man for ten years. That surprised me more than ever. Why, I have been riding by here twice a week, I replied. You must be mistaken, my young man, corrected the old hermit. I have lived here ten years by myself seeing no one, he retorted. Changing the subject he went on: It is snowing right hard, what are you doing here, my friend? I am delivering mail to Hot Springs, I replied, but must be off my course a little. Yes, it is snowing pretty hard. Pony express, say you? Oh, yesg you are off your course twenty miles, my boy. You are now twenty miles north of your way. You probably got mixed up at the crossroads and took the Cherokee Trail. I stood spellbound, puzzling over the matter. I knew I had to get the mail through before sundown the next day. I was arounsed from my worries by the old man's voice, Sit down, sir, and have a bite to eat before going. I was hungry, so didn't refuse. I We sat down at the table and I started eating. I was wondering what this old man was doing out here in the forest waste lands. By the way, I said, 'fare you trapping or something? Oh, yes, I have been gathering furs for ten years, and I am just ready to market them and see civilization once more. I told him I had been on the pony express for two years. Well, it is getting rather late and I will have to bid you good-bye. Thanks for the supper. I40l LA PUFZISIMA As the hermit was strapping the mail pouch on my back, he dropped it. The snow was soft and the weight of it made 'it sink into the snow, but it was covered with oilskin so did not get wet. He picked it up and strapped it on my back. I bid him gooddbye and started again. Here, he said, is a map by which you can find your way. He handed it to me and with gnarled fingers pointed out the various land-marks to me. Then Lizard a.nd I started once more. It was snowing, but not so hard. About three miles farther the weather changed. It quit snowing, and the sun shone brightly. I felt a warm wind against my cheeks. About two miles ahead of me was a stream. I knew that meant danger, for the warm Chinook wind was melting the snow fast, and the stream would be swollen and swift. If I could only cross the stream before the storm hit I would be safe. It was much easier traveling now, for I could now see ahead of me. I knew that the stream would be deep and very swift. On and on we went. I did not forget the danger I had to face. Twenty minutes more and I would be safe. It seemed as if those minutes were hours. At last we reached the stream. Just as I had feared, it was a terrible sight. There were boulders tossing about, and trees went swishing by us. Lizard and I knew we were taking a great risk, but I would do anything to get the mail through safely. The worst of the flood was yet to come. It was some time before I could urge Lizard into the water. Finally, very cautiously, she stepped into the stream. She waded three or four feet and then came to a dead stop, with her head flung back and her ears sharply pointed. She was listening. Just then came a terrible noise like distant thunder. I urged my pony on. The noise was getting louder. Lizard heard, for again she stopped, and she gave a terrible snort. And into the water' with all her might she plunged. She was swimming for life, she knew it. It was one hundred and ten feet across, and we were only thirty-five feet. Again the noise came, this time it was a blasting noise which made my ears buzz. It struck. I was thrown off my pony and taken under. It seemed as if consciousness had left me. I was rolling and tumbling with the water, with boulders and trees all around me. It seemed as though I were grinding in some great mill like corn. Luckily, I arose to the surface, and throwing a glance about me I caught sight of a tree overhanging the water above me. I made a grab for it a.nd caught hold. It was not until then I realized my mail pouch was gone. I drew myself up and looking a.bout me, saw good old Lizard struggling up on the bank quite a distance from me. I was surprised to find her safe, and more surprised to find the mail pouch in good old Lizard's mouth. I could see that my pony was pretty well all in, but I did not dare hesi- tate there, so Lizard and I continued our journey. Well, sir, that was a narrow escape, but we got to Hot Springs the next day at sunset. -IRENE GRATON, '34 I41 I LA PURISIMA Our Neighbor Early in the morning or late at gnight if we happen to look from our windows we see our neighbor, working in her garden. She waters and trims and cares for each shrub and plant individually. She loves each one, for they take the place of her family which long ago grew up. If you walk in her garden she can tell you a story of each rose bush, very many of which were grown from cuttings. Under her loving care they have grown to great size, climbing over house and garden fence. Each one is connected with loving thoughts 'of old time friends. All of her life she has loved and grown flowers. Coming to this valley in the early days, while her husband farmed, she looked after the many things around the home, packing apples, milking, and making butter, busy from morning till night, yet she found time even then to grow and tend her Howers. Long before the seed farms discovered the wonderful soil in our valley, she grew some sweet peas. She says they were small and poor in comparison to the beautiful ones grown nowg nevertheless, they were a wonder to her friends and neighbors and a delight to her. Her garden means more to her perhaps because it has come mostly through exchange of seeds and plants with friends. She has a great variety, making her garden very interesting. Her lawns are trim and cool and green. The pansies along the garden walk lift clean little faces. Her flowers spill over the sidewalk into the very street, and the children of the neighborhood walk carefully around them, knowing her love and care for them. 1-JEANNETTE FAIRBANKS, '31 252 wk 'F is Pk The Patient Hunter Closer and closer he crawls. His downy gray fur is hardly visible among the half-dried weeds. The distance to his goal becomes shorter every time a slow, cautious step is taken. Finally he stops a few inches from the round open doorway of his prey. As the minutes go by, not once does the hunter take his sinister yellow-green eyes off of the doorway. All of a sudden he is on his haunches, switching his tail slowly as if something were about to happen. At every murmur of the wind, or rustle of paper a curious annoyed ex- pression appears on his face. A crackling is heard in the nearby grass, and the hunter, forgetting his prey, turns to see what is happening. A small garter snake is seen gliding off along a narrow path. Recovering from the intrusion of his unexpected visitor the hungry hunter glances back once more, and sees a portion of a shiny, plump gopher, who has discovered his enemy and decided to remain under cover. As the disgusted hunter strolls off in hopes of another opportunity, the gopher sits comfortably gazing out of his doorway chuckling to himself. --CHARLOTTE RUFFNER, '32 E421 LA PURISIMA Just Like People Birds are really very much like people. I say this because, while watching our two birds while they are eating, playing, or sleeping, their actions seem very much like those of human beings. One day Amos was on the table trying to chew every paper he could get his bill on. I scolded him a few times, but he didn't mind, so,I gave him a spanking. He waddled to the corner of the table in a huff. For pa while he preened his feathers, letting me write my lessons in peace. Every now and then he would smooth down his feathers, cock his little head on one side, and look at me with a quizzical expression in his large round, black eyes. What's the matter now? I questioned. He ruffled up his feathers immediately, and industriously began to preen himself again. When he thought I had forgotten all about him, he began gradually to work his way back to the papers he had been chewing, first trying to take the colored design out of my handkerchief, then catching the end of my pen.cil as it moved along the paper. I looked at him, and he suddenly became interested in a piece of candy, watching me while he was eating it. I had no more than written three letters of a word than he made a dash for the paper. I let him get to it, watching him out of the corner of my eyie. He started to chew the page several times, but stopped before he actually touched it to see if I were still looking at him. When he was quite sure he began to chew very fast, as if trying to chew all he could before I should stop him. I watched him, amused by his clever maneuverings. Amos! I called out to him sharply. And away he went on his funny waddling little run, with a. quick little hop at the end, back to his corner. There he stood, his feathers all ruffled up, trying to look as innocent as a new-born babe. 1-ROSITA FISCHER, '32 'I' 14' Pk Pk The Deer It is twilight, and I stand by the roadside watching one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. A large bean field stretches out before me, on the edge of which loiter three deer. At intervals they low-er their heads and nibble at the grass. Beautiful creatures they are, with their sleek tan coats, long, slim legs, and large eyes. Now they see me, they are standing motionless, with ears pricked up listening, and they gaze at me as if I were an intruder. They continue staring at me. Then with a sudden leap they are bound- ing fieetly over the hills, and they disappear from sight. The setting is still there, but the spell is broken. --REBECCA STOCKTON, '32 E431 LA PURISIMA Family Activities Last winter when it was cold and dreary, our family all tried to crowd around the fireplace in the front room. It was interesting to notice that each had an entirely different occupation. Mother would sit at one side of the fireplace doing some kind of sewing or mending, fourteen-year-old Arthur was always slumped down in a chair reading Wild West stories and chewing gum to the tune of imaginary bullets, big brother generally stood by the piano practicing his vocal lesson, and when, in the course of trying to sing aw on the right pitch, he failed for the sixth time, he would stop long enough to say angrily, For gosh sakes, Art, swallow that gum! Of course Art never swallowed it, it was -too precious for that, but he would politely stop chewing for awhile. Mother would interrupt here to say, Children! children! At this point brother would ask me to play a certain selection on the piano, and we would start all over again. I don't dare mention what happened when I made discords, but all in all we got along pretty well. One particular evening every thing had been going wonderfully well for over fifteen minutes, but I was certain something would happen to break the spell. Sure enough, the door flew open and in came a big gust of cold wind. And along with the wind was another brother who joyously told us that he had at last got his Henry to working, so off went all three boys in spite of the cold. Naturally, just before they got out the door Mother said, Be careful, childreng then the door slammed. Mother and I spent a quiet evening aft-er that, for, as we learned later, Old Henry developed a severe case of stomach trouble as soon as they got out of town. Therefore it was very late when they came home, nearly frozen stif. -ANNABEL OLINGER Pk A Bird of Modest Mien The comman song sparrow is identified by his title wherever heard. He is a hardy little fellow who trips shyly along a limb unafraid. He makes no ef- fort to display his glossy under-wing of olive-drab color, or to show his white little throat. He grasps the limb with his small curled nails and buries his black sharp bill deep into the pulpy masses of the limb. If his reward is a juicy worm he draws it skillfully out of the limb, places it at his feet, and then pours out a medley of harmonious notes from his throat. At late sleeper is early awakened by the song-sparrow. He is contented with the day, so thus proceeds to express his feelings. He flits from vine to vine chirping noisily and basking in the sun. He lives happily with his tiny brood, but at times he becomes hostile toward callers. The sole ambition of this energetic little fellow seems to be, to be contented with life. --VIVIAN FOSTER, '33 E44 l LA PURISIMA The Torpedo It was midnight. There were clouds in the sky, but the moon still shone brightly. The water was rough, pounding the sides of our ship. 0 Scarcely three days before we had seen an airplane, and that very day we had a wire from shore saying that two submarines had been sighted. We had orders to keep a lookout, night and day, for enemy planes or submarines. In spite of this we were having a party on the lower deck in honor of the captain's birthday, but we were careful to see that the port holes were covered up. The fun was at its height when a man came running in, crying, Tor-pe-do! Sighted coming straight this way. Just then the light flashed out. There was a big mix-up. Everyone was trying to get up on deck to catch hold of the safety rail, for rlccording to orders we were to hang on to the rail when we were going over. Just as we came up, the moon went behind a dark cloud. The rough water seemed to pound twice as hard against our boat. We waited in suspense for about three minutes, hardly daring to take a breath. Then the moon came out again, and we could see the torpedo making straight for our ship. It was a terrible moment. We were all hanging on for dear life, because we knew it was only a matter of a few minutes before the dreadful thing would hit us. On it came, plunging straight toward us. Then just as it was going to strike, it darted directly under us. The boy next to me gave a low cry and lost consciousness. I thought he wasn't much more frightened than I, but I stayed with him till he came to. The first thing he asked was, What was that thing, anyway? I said, I don't know, but I'll find out. The captain was standing just behind us, and he chuckled as he heard the boy's question. That! Why that was a porpoise or a sea hog. It goes up and down and looks like a torpedo. Scared you though, didn't it? I said, It sure did. The captain went away laughing. -CHARLOTTE DAY, '34 ii' Pk S1 if 1? NIGHT The moon had lifted her golden head, And shadows did Hit and dance with ease With every gentle swaying of the trees. Birds sang their evening songs And flowers settled their weary heads, For night was nigh, and all must rest. -Howard Dickinson, '33 L45l LA PURISIMA A Narrow Escape About thirty years ago there lived a Switzerland a little girl named Gudetta. Gudetta lived a long way from school, and on winter mornings it took her a long time to get there, for the ground was covered with snow. Every day she got up early and slipped on her coarse red and white gingham dress and got ready for school. She took her tin box in which her mother had put her lunch of cheese and corn-bread sandwiches, and left for school early. As she started out of the house one morning she saw her new corn cob doll on a chair, and she stopped to admire it once more. Suddenly an idea came to her. The other children had not seen it. Why not take it to school? She knew it was against the rules, but she decided that she would take it just the same, so she started off, wondering what the teacher would say. She was about a half of a mile from school when she discovered thalt she had forgotten her piece of wood. That meant she would have to sit in the cold room with the poor children who could not afford to bring a bit of fuel for the furnace. Guetta had never had to do that. She had always reached school early and secured a seat by the furnaco. Now what was she to do? She knew if she went back home for her stick of wood she would be late for school. She was getting closer to school when she remembered that there was a house just before one went around a turn in the mountain, and she thought she could get a piece there. ' But when Gudetta got to the house she saw that the gate that led to the wood was locked. This made her feel very sad. As she walked along she kept wondering what kind of a punishment she would get. She had forgotten her piece of wood, and had brought her doll, which she had been forbidden to do. She hung her head down and began to cry. Suddenly she stopped crying, for there on the ground lay a little chip of wood. Would that help her? She picked it up and carried it to school as carefully as she was carrying her doll. When she walked into the room she saw the teacher looking at her. He looked as if he were angry. Was he going to punish her? She timidly handed the piece of wood to himg his face changed and be began to laugh, but he did not say a word. So Gudetta took her place by the furnace as she had always done. lEVELYN BROOKS, '34 The Masquerade A large crowd had assembled on board a yacht for a New Year's masquer- ade party. Everyone was dancing on deck when suddenly they heard the shore boat coming. Soon the most beautiful princess was announced. l47J LA PURISIMA She was dressed in gorgeous oriental clothes. She had beautiful black eyes, and wavy hair that hung to her shoulders. Her eyes were all that showed of her face as she had the rest of her face masked in a beautiful silk veil. Among the gorgeous costumes on deck hers stood out. A few minutes later a handsome young man dressed as a Spanish gentle- man arrived. He isaw the beautiful princess and was introduced to her. He started dancing with her and was having a good time, but much to his dis- appointment he soon found out that the dance was a tag dance. The princess had disappeared. No matter how hard he searched the boat he could not find herg she seemed to have been swallowed up. Just as he was about to give up, he saw her in the bow of the boat and hurried to get her. She danced that dance with him, and then they began walking in the moonlight. By this time he had fallen madly in love and had started telling her about it. He was on his knees before her when the clock struck twelve, and it was time to unmask. Much to the young man's em- barrassment, when the princess took off her mask-there was a boy. To add to his embarrassment there came a shout of laughter. Looking around he saw half a dozen people peeking around the corner. iHELEN BUCKMAN, '34 4 Pl' 'ls ak PF LA PURISIMA No more the Indians around your beauty dwell, Or children at your altar kneel.

She didn't care what people thoughtg She never told them why She walked 1ife's road alone with naught To aid her in her needs, 'Or encourage her or help her, And wish her good luck for her deeds. She never asked a soul for love, She must have been lonelyg no one knows, Perhaps she sought her love from God above. Some people say when the south wind blows They see her alone with her dark hair wild, Running and calling with arms outstretched, As ,if longing to cradle a sleeping child. --Lindsay Hardenbrook, '33 E481 LA PURISIMA The Last Fight It was late in the evening when the commanding officer stepped into the mess hall and said that we all were to be on the field at 4 a.m. ready to gc' to the front. He was to take up Flight No. 1 and Jack was to take up Flight No. 2. Flight No. 1 was tol Hy two thousand feet and Flight No. 2 had orders tog fly about five or six thousand. In the morning Jack and the commanding officer were up early checking their motors and machine guns. At four both of the fiights were on the line, and Flight 2 was to take the air first. Jack waved his hand and Flight 2 was roaring across the field. They circled the field, and then they headed for the front. They were up in the clouds when they saw German Fokkers diving at Flight No. 1. When he saw them Jack dipped his wings, and the whole Flight dived on the Fokkers. Jack saw the commanding officer start for home. He had a bullet in his motor and was gliding in hope to reach the lines. Jack saw five American planes and four German Fokkers go down, so the number was even eight to eight. The fight lasted about fifteen minutes, and then the three remaining German Fokkers turned and started for home. All the Flight men started for home except Jack, who had two victories. Jack looked at his gas gauge and saw that he had enough gas for half an hour longer, so he climbed for two thousand feet and then flew along the lines. He saw a German two-seater who was returning home with a bunch of pictures of our front. The ship was inside our lines and about two thousand feet below him so he dived. When he was almost on the ship the gunner turned and saw him. The two-seater banked, and Jack went on past. Jack went below him and shot from under him. He saw the ship shake and then go down in flames. He was starting for hime with three victories, when a German single- seater caught him unawares and put a bullet in his motor. He put his nose down and starting gliding for the airdrome. When he was about one hundred feet from the ground Jack saw some trees come up ahead of him. He hit them and fell out of the cockpit. He woke up in a hospital. After that he was not allowed to fly to the front on account of his nerves. He was an instructor for the rest of the war near a little town in France. --CARLOS VIGIL, '34 :a :g: pp 23: ri: SPRING IS HERE The birds are singing in the trees, Swayed on the limbs by the gentle breeze, Their songs seem sweeter this time of the year- Spring is here. The hills with green grass are covered anew, Sparkling like silver with the dew. Wild flowers, too, are on the hills- Spring is here. -Rosie Toffoli, '33 E491 LA PURISIMA A Birthday Gift This incident happened in Denmark, when my father was a boy. It was my grandmother's birthday, and my father wished to give her a little gift. The thing that made him decide to buy a present for her was S0YY19U1i11g that happened that morning. After he had milked ten cows by himself he was pouring some milk in a bowl on the kitchen tableg this made the bowl of milk fall on the Hoor, and of course the bowl broke. His mother had promised that on her birthday she would make a kind of dessert he liked very much, so he felt very sorry he had broken the bowl. He had only about three krone to spend: that is about one dollar in our money. He earned his own money herding cows in a pasture together with other boys. They didn't get much for doing it, and they had to get up a six o'clock in the morning. The level Helds were all green with grass, and there were only a few hills scattered here and there. He 'drove the cattle about one half Danish mile, which is two of our miles. The boys usually walked where- ever they went, but if they could afford it they had bicycles to ride on. That afternoon he walked about a mile to where he got on a street car, and from there he rode into town. It had been snowingg but now the sun was shining, and the snow began to melt, and soon there was a little layer of slippery ice on top. He walked along the cobblestone street looking in the store windows. In one window he saw a knifeg he wanted it very much, but then he remembered his mother's present. In a window in a store he saw six bowls, each one smaller than the otherg he thought to himself, 'There is just what I want. They cost exactly the amount he had, so he took them and started home. He was very glad he had made such a good bargain, and the thought of the pudding his mother would make made him hurry a little more. He rode to the end of the car line, and from there walked the one mile home very carefully, since it was now very slippery. When he got to his own gate he started to rung this made him slip, and he fell down and broke all the bowls. He felt very sad, but there wasn't time to get any moreg and if there had been, he didn't have any more money. So he picked up the broken pieces, and went in and showed them to his mother. She felt sorry for him, so she took him over to the cupboard, and there was the pudding. That made him feel better. -EMMA IVERSEN :a is :sc as :is Forty Winks One of the times I enjoy watching the Pollies is on Sunday, at midday when lunch is over. The sunshine comes in through the window and makes them drowsy. We are in the dining room, talking in a soft undertone that puts them to sleep. I sit down in a rocking-chair and lean back. The old Polly cocks hlis little head at each of us, his bright eyes look inquiringly at us, and then he I50l LA PURISIMA climbs the tree that we fixed for them. The young Polly follows his example. Arrived at his destination, the old fellow ruffles his feathers, and settles down for a nap. But he is never thoroughly asleep. He opens one eye now and then to survey his domain. I watch him. He opens one eye sleepily. Fifth wink, and all's well. The yellow eye-lid covers the little black eye. He clenches his small brown claw in-to a fist, and tucks it in his feathers. A lime parts the feathers of his small soft breast. A pretiy yellow' feather peeps out from the blue and green of his wing. At the edge of his beak, near his n-ose, his feathers are orangeg next comes some blue, and then the bright green of his coat. He is very sleepy. He begins to sway back and forth. He half -opens one eye. Fortieth wink, and all's well. He is closing his eye, when the young Polly screeches suddenly. Down goes the old fellow, swinging by his legs. The spell is broken. His nap is over. . iMARJORIE FISCHER, '32 if 9' Bk Pk 'll The Thunderstorm The wind was blowing harder, the clouds were rolling faster, and slowly the sun was setting, while the night grew cloudier and blacker. At last the sun went out of sigh-t behind the big black clouds that covered the horizon. Then all at once the wind stopped for a moment, the moment that precedes the fury of a storm. Then suddenly it came howling-P and shrieking, lashing with all its force and might. All through the cold dark night, with lightning and roaring thun- der and driving rain, the mighty storm raged. Then as suddenly as it came, it went, leaving in its path destruction and waste. And the sun rose far in the east, to Hood the earth with its glorious light. -HARRY COLLIER, '31 if wk lk lk Pk Write a poem, our teacher said, Just four lines, if you please, But when we started out to work Our minds were not at ease. Then said teacher, thinking fast, Eight lines would be better. Yes. hand them in tomorrow, Eight lines to the letter.

This victory pepped us up and provided the necessary assurance to enable us to whip the San Luis Poly team in a hard-fought game which closed on a score of 6 to 0 in our favor. Our next game was with the Santa Maria B team, on our own turf. We beat them in a game which was considerably like the San Luis Poly game, the score being the same as that of the Poly game. After playing three games without being scored against, we were borne down by the greater weight of the Paso Robles team, to a 7 to 13 defeat. We then went to Santa Maria to engage their crack team. We were handicapped by the crippling of one of our backfield men, and despite our efforts the game passed without a chance for us to score, leaving us on the small end of a 48 to 0 score. f Our next game was with Oxnardg a hard game in which our lack of substitutes again told against us. The gun was tired on an 18 to 35 score in their favor. After the Oxnard game we again played Paso Robles. We failed to score in this game, although we held them to a score of 13 to 0. Our next and last game was with Carpinteria, whom we expected to defeat easily. We were unpleasantly surprised by their great change. They played a fast game which we were hard put to equal. The game ended on a score of 15 to 13 in their favor. Thus ends the story of the Lompoc Braves of 1931, with 3 victories and 5 defeats. The season was not a successful one, but the scores cannot tell of' the wonderful efforts of the team. Next year we will miss eight letter-men: Ed Kalin, Ross Ruth, Fred Ruffner, Hartley Glidden, Everett Horn, Harry Betaque, Dick Canfield, and Edwin Jenks. l53l LA PURISIMA r - F3 A A - Heavyweight Basketball At the beginning of the 1931 season the prospects for the basketball team seemed as uncertain as at the same time last year. This was again remedied, however, by the transfer of several lightweight stars to the heavy- weight team. We started the season with a defeat at the hands of the more experienced Santa Ynez team, which was very disappointing. It had a good effect, how- ever, in that it made the boys realize that they must really fight for thehr' supremacy. The team then went to La Verne College, where games were being played between teams coached by former La Verne men. The first game was a decided victory over Delano High, but the next day we lost a hard game to the faster and heavier players of Citrus High School. Despite our defeat at the hands of Citrus High, we were able, the next day, to take Chino High School through a whirlwind game ending 25 to 7 in our favor. We then played Santa Ynez, winning in a 19 to 33 game, showing what could be done after a little experience. After Santa Ynez, we played Mission High, winning another victory, this time with a closing score of 22 to 28. The Santa Ynez players, determined to have another shot at us, then came to Lompoc to play us. We sent them back with a 12 to 16 defeat to mourn over. The next visiting team was that of San Luis. This game was a. real one - close, hard, and fast all the way through. We finished that game on the high end of a 19 to 20 score. Victory now seemed to be a habit with us, and we beat Santa Maria in a 19 to 16 game. They say Pride cometh before a fall. This was the case with us, for in the following game, which was with San Luis, we were beaten, coming out on the low side of 24 to 14. We then played Santa Ynez again, beating them in a 23 to 13 game. Our final game was played February 27, against Moran School at Atas- cadero. In this game our luck again deserted us, and we were sent home with a 13 to 15 defeat. The score of this game shows, however, that it was a fast, close game and that Moran did not Hnd it easy to overcome us. Next year we will miss four letter-men from the heavyweight squad. Fred Ruffner, Ross Ruth, Dale Callis, and Attilio Rivaldi. Remaining letter- men will he Laurence Huyck, Al Guerra, and Lloyd Canfield. I54l Walter Schuyler, and Elvizio Manfrina. LA PURISIMA Lightweight Basketball The prospects of a successful year for the lightweights were very poor this year. Only two letter-men were returning, Rule and Manfrina, and several of last year's lightweight stars were transferred to this year's heavies. All in all, the prospects we1'e quite discouraging. Little was expected of the boys, and the regular basketball fans paid little attention to them, but they surprised everyone by their wonderful showing. They played fourteen games and lost but one, winning, for the first time since 1925, the Championship of the Southern Division. All in all, the season was a good one, and our school has reason to feel proud of her basketball team. Although next year the team will suffer a serious setback in the loss of three lettermen, Rule, Erminio Manfrina, and Martinez, they have some very able players left. Remaining lettermen are: Kenneth Main, Philip Tognetti, The major games were: San Luis Mission, 15g,.Lompoc, 25 San Luis 'B' team, 13, Lompoc, 14 Arroyo Grande, 85 Lompoc, 30 Santa Maria, G3 Lompoc, 17 San Luis 'B' team, 11, Santa Ynez, 63 I Atascadero, 175 L Fillmore, 241, I. Lompoc, 15 .ompoc, l8 ompoc, 18 ompoc, IU LA PURISIMA Baseball The baseball season started with almost all of last year's team in the field.. There were also a great many amateurs, some of whom will form our future teams. Our first game was with Santa Maria, in which the Saints proved to be the better team and left us at the poor end of a 17 to 7 score. We then went to San Luis for a game with San Luis High, in which bad luck still followed us, for we were again left behind, this time to the tune of 13 to 4. The morale of the team was not of the best after these two defeats, but they practiced faithfully so as to be in shape for the forth-coming battle with Mission High. On April 11, we played Mission High on her own field. The game was a h d ' ar one. The teams were very well matched, but they managed to beat us in Z1 4 to 5 game. There are two more games to be played which we will not be able to e games are played. The record in our book, as it will go to press before th games will bei played with Arroyo Grande and Santa Ynez. Santa Ynez has not been defeated this season, and the game promises to be a good one. The team is making a much better showing now, and we expect to show both Arroyo and Santa Ynez that we can, and will, beat them.

Much care should be used in commanding the sun to stand still, as there is a washout on the bridge south of Paola and the road to salvation is under repair, making it necessary for seventy degrees in the brooderhouse at all times.
