Your fields of golden poppies brightly glow, And on your mountain tops high peaked with snow, Is found a spot where sunshine smiling down Has given all the trees a glorious gown Of gold ; while at their feet the streamlets flow, Winding their way into the vales below; Sweet golden streams among the fields of brown. And guarding all the treasures which you hold, Is the blue sea that laves your shores of gold. The smiling sea that murmuring always speaks Its message to the crested mountain peaks. Still treasure tenderly this home of ours. Sweet California, smiling land of flowers! —ELIZABETH PARK. FOREWORD Los Angeles is today the ninth city in the United States in point of population. Climate has made us the Mecca of tourists and the paradise for homeseekers. Los Angeles County is the richest agricul- tural county in the value of farm products in the whole United States, surpassing sixteen states of the Union in population and twenty-two in wealth. No other city in the world has attained the 600,000 mark by fact ors such as these. All other great cities of the world depend on com- merce and industry for their growth and stability. Yet — already — Los Angeles is moreover tenth city of the country in volume of manufactured goods of a very diversified nature, ranging from rubber tires to gopher traps. Cheap water from a great aqueduct — cheap hydro electricity like- wise — a climate where nature helps industry most and free open shop labor conditions are the keystones of the arch on which industrial Los Angeles has been built. But industry must be supplemented by broad markets where the goods from our factories can be sold. Not only will our jobbers and manufacturers distribute their goods as today throughout Southern Cali- fornia, in the great San Joaciuin Valley to the north, in Imperial Valley, the Palo Verde, Arizona, and southern Nevada, but a broader spirit of looking farther atield is now in evidence. The keynote to the new idea of commerce is Los Angeles Harbor ' ' — the home port of the Pacific Fleet and the submarine base. Years ago most people considered the front door of Los Angeles to be the Cajon Pass, or a bit earlier — the Tehachapi — facing the East. Today Los Angeles has about faced and looks towards the West, out through her front door — her great harbor — across five thousand miles of Pacific — the great commercial mart of the future — to China, India, Australia, Japan and the west coast of Mexico, Central and South America. The commercial future of Los Angeles is immense. Her possibili- ties are beyond the wildest dreams of the Utopian. My hope is that the young men and women of the Los Angeles High School will appreciate the potentialities of our wonderful section and join our ranks of Los Angeles Boosters in our common cause. Yours for a great city of commerce, MAYNARD McFIE, Summer Class 1903.

Your motto, I am informed, is Achievement. The highest good I think will result from a union of these two sentiments. Indeed this dual sentiment is a characteristic of the Los Angeles High School. Class after class has left the school for nearly half a century with a firm and steady purpose in the hearts of the graduates not only to make their city better than they found it, but to make the world happier because they had lived in it. Achievement based upon service to your fellowman is the highest and noblest possible, and the world is appealing for service today as never before in its history. California is placed in the middle of the world. From the four quarters of the earth eyes are directed to you, hands are extended to you, and the hearts and minds of millions less fortunate than you are waiting anxiously for your message to them. We are bound by many ties to the peoples of Europe and we are proud to help them in their distress. We are also glad to serve the na- tions beyond the Pacific. This splendid issue of the Semi-Annual shows on every page that you realize that if the future of your California is to be glorious you must help to brighten the future of our neighbors beyond the Western sea. It is not a figure of speech, it is a universally admitted fact, that in this the world ' s greatest crisis we in America, and especially we in California, are most happily placed. The world believes in us. Let us keep confidence in ourselves and courage to maintain the standards set by our American forbears. Above all let us infuse America ' s highest ideals into the awakening minds of the older civilizations. tA ' rA ... Page Eightetn Page Nineteen TO THE CLASS OF SUMMER TWENTY-ONE Lo, another Commencement Season has rolled around; another class of lads and lassies stands with shining faces to receive our hail and farewell. Your faces are shining not entirely, we know, with joy at the vision of vanished high school years; regret at the severance of happy ties will be smothered away beneath satisfaction in your finished work and anticipation of a glowing future. You are right to be radiant — for you will form other ties of happiness and service. This year we greet you as a rainbow cloud — may it be the rainbow of promise! You, the members of the Class of Summer 1921, have the notable distinction of beginning the present epoch in the life of our school. As befitted pioneers you watched the construction of streets, sidewalks, the planting of lawns, trees, and shrubbery, and the extension of the carline to the very doors of the building. Progress has become a part of your thought. You have been a forward looking Class. Your editors have selected a topic in keeping with the history of the Class, a topic of the future; namely, the influ- ence of America upon the problems of the Pacific. Far-seeing world ' s statesmen are thoughtfully looking to the people of Western America for the solution of problems arising from the meeting of occidental and oriental civilizations. Occidental civilization has reached the farther- most lands of possible Western migration. Oriental civilization has extended as far east as it is possible for it to go. The meeting of the two civilizations, vastly different in development, is fraught with great possibilities for the future of the whole world. For the future peace of the world it is very providential that America has had such far- seeing statesmen as John Hay, Theodore Roosevelt, and William How- ard Taft, who established permanent friendship between the greatest nation of the Orient, China, and the most influential and powerful na- tion of the Western hemisphere, the United States. China has be- come accustomed to looking toward the United States to assist her in getting a square deal in world politics. Los Angeles, because of its geographical location and its position as the largest city in Western America, will have much to do in de- termining America ' s policy toward the Oriental nations. Our school has been noted for the public services of its Alumni. May you, the members of a progressive Class, steadily by the spirit of constructive service of your Alma Mater, assist your city in solving rightly the problems of the Pacific. May you give to the world many men and women whose influence for world betterment will be real and lasting. OKr, Oliver Vice pruwipal WplvertoK VicepnKcipal Payc Twcnly-o W. H.

Pave Twenty-four Any modern high school presents both obligations and oppor- tunities, but the Los Angeles High School offers unique privileges of participation in student body activities. This school has so many or- ganizations and important student offices, that every member has the opportunity to help boost our standards and our ideals. Only through the development of individual responsibilities can we maintain or raise the ideals of L. A. Such teamwork demands sound judgment in the selection of officers and the loyal support by the Student Body to their choice. Each member of the Student Body, as well as the officers, should possess the attitude of mind that makes him stand up for what he believes right, against heavy odds. This is the spirit that has made L. A. famous in the past. Let us preserve it in the future and the era of championship will be ours. I leave L. A., proud to have been a member of this school and proud to have been your president. K y jy y7 ' Pauc Iwenty-iiv COMMISSIONERS The commission form of govern- ment employed at L. A. so satisfac- torily, was established in February, 1917. This year Guy Dennis carried on the administration of our school in the same spirit that characterized his football playing. The rallies he arranged created much enthusiasm, and the auditorium calls were most entertaining. The four other commissioners also deserve credit, for they have all filled their places very competently. The officers for the Spi ' ing term of ' 21 are : Guy Dennis — Administration. Louise Doran — Social Activities. Percy Spencer — Forensics. Carroll Blakemore — Athletics. James Long — Finance.

Its membership consists of the president of each classroom in the school. The work of this body is to elect the managers of the various athletic teams, vote certain sums of money from the student body fund for ath- letic equipment, and other legiti- mate expenditures, and to pass on certain bills which come up before them. The work this term has been prin- cipally to appoint a committee to look after new improvements about the grounds such as trees, shrubs and new lawn. An appropriation was also made with which to buy the banner for championship debating team. The officers this term who have faithfully carried through the work are: President, Keath Carver; Vice-President, Frederick Tyroler; and Secretary, Mercedes Long.

Its purpose is to further the Student Government principle of the school. The members have been very conscientious in doing their work and with the co-operation of the Girls ' Student Body they have been very successful in doing their duty. The Board consists of twenty-five members elected by popular election of the Senior classes. The officers are : Virginia Dudley — President. Mary Margaret Hudson — Vice- President. Doris Dennison — Secretary and Treasurer. Louis Doran — Sergt-at-Arms. Dves Durrant — Pros. Attorney. Veo Caldwell — Public Defender.

The members of the Board are assisted by associate members, elected at the first meeting by the Board itself. The idea of having such an or- ganization was originated by Mr. Oliver in 1912. It is confined to stu- dents of the Senior class only, be- cause, having been in the school for three years, they are fully acquaint- ed with the rules, traditions, and as- pirations of L. A. High. The main object of Board is to help with the organization of the school at the beginning of the term, and to preserve throughout the stu- dent body a high standard of con- duct. During the past term the work of the Boys ' Senior Board has been highly successful. The members have conscientiously done their full duty, and have shown the members of the school that they were their friends, and wished to render help rather than punishment. The pr- connel of the Board is: Edward C. Pallette, President. Keith Carver, Vice-President. Oscar Trippet, Jr., Secretary. Guy Dennis, Prosecuting Attor- ney. Joseph Horton, Public Defender. Albert Rogers, Sergeant-at-Arms.

He and his assistants are kept busy every school day in the year. He must take charge and account for all money of every game in athletics and every entertainment that is held here at school. The largest event held this year was the Southern California Track Meet, held here on our field. Jimmie and Burke had to ac- count to the C. I. F. for all gate receipts. Paue Thirly-foiir PRESENTATION This year the Nation ' s thoughts have turned from the past, not to the present, but to the future of the United States, with is numerous commercial possibilities, especialy those of the Pacific Coast to which we turn for the greatest success and prosperity. It is, therefore, in the spirit of Peace, Progress and Prosperity that we, the Summer Class of 1921 present this book to the Los Angeles High School. AMERICA ' S FUTURE ON THE PACIFIC America ' s moral or spiritual influence on the Pacific is a topic of keen interest, not only because America wields a tremendous influence at the present time, but also because the nations on the Pacific will themselves have such great power in future years. To some of the leaders today, it is evident that the balance of power is passing from the West to the Far East again, slowly to be sure, but nevertheless surely. It is therefore one of the grandest opportunities any nation ever had to influence the coming civilization in a lasting way for good. The writer is a firm believer in patriotism and loyalty to one ' s own country, but not to such an e.xtent that we cannot be interested in other peoples and nations of the earth. We are interested in the de- velopment of our own glorious United States, and believe it to be the very finest country on the face of the globe, but we also take pleasure in seeing the successful development and the prosperity of other nations. Since the moral influence of a people is more lasting and worthwhile than the material or physical influence, we have a greater interest in that phase of the influence of America upon other countries. The United States has already acciuired an enviable reputation for having a magnanimous spirit, as indicated by our government when part of the indemnity money from the Boxer rebellion was returned to China. As a result of this act many students have been sent to Amer- ican schools to secure our learning and no doubt many of these stu- dents will help in a large way to shape the future policy of China. Other students from Japan, the Philippines, and Hawaii, are carrying the spirit of America back to their native lands. The treatment they receive here in our educational institutions and what they learn of our selfishness or unselfishness is going to have a very great influence on their attitude toward our country and whether they shall take our ways as an example for themselves. Our country may have a vast influence in the political life of the nations on the Pacific. Already we have seen China change from a monarchy to a republic, and while Japan is still a monarchy with mili- taristic ideals, this very fact is merely a challenge to the United States Payc Thirty-five to manifest a remarkable spirit of magnanimity and unselfishness, such as will change the purpose of that nation. Do we wish civilization to go on in the future with nations ruling by might rather than right, and warring against one another, or do we not wish for a better day to come? Would it not be better to lose a few millions now, if we can do it honorably, and set an example which will save millions of lives and billions of dollars in future generations? Our attitude in military affairs will have a tremendous influence for good or bad in our Future on the Pacific. If future generations can look back upon history and find that the United States of America was foremost in leadership of the world for peace among nations and in really making the World safe for Democracy, we will have done something which will make our nation beloved of all peoples forever. ERNEST OBERG MANAGERS ' ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The management of this Semi-Annual wishes to express to all those who have assisted us with their efforts and time, its most sincere thanks and appreciation. A book of this kind is rather difficult to publish unless it is supported by all concerned. We appreciate deeply Mr. Housh ' s co-operation and valuable ad- vice. Without it this book could not be what it is. The rest of the school and especially the Art Department, have helped us greatly. We are grateful to Mitchells for their help and energy in getting out good pictures on time. The advertisers have made this book possible. In appreciation of this we hope the school will patronize them in return. WENTWORTH GOSS, Manager. LUTHER FITCH, Advertising Manager. HAROLD VOTAW, Assistant Adv. Manager. BYRON WILLIAMS, Senior B.

The first gift scholarshhip for the graduates of Los Angeles High School was established last year by Judge and Mrs. Toland. This fund was established in memory of their son Hugh, who was a member of L. A. for a number of years and who died before graduating. The scholarship is for boys only and was granted this year to Har- old Berry and Edward Jones each receiving half of it. By the terms of the foundation the scholarship will be awarded for the next three years to a young man who was a friend of the family and who is not attending this school. After nineteen-twenty-four it will be awarded only to the graduates of Los Angeles High School. The amount is two hundred and fifty dollars annually. It is not awarded on account of excellence in any one line but for general merit, including scholarship, character and high ideals. It is to be used for higher education and is limited to the University of California. The school appreciates the kindness of Judge and Mrs. Toland in making it possible for worthy students who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to get a college education.

Puyc Sfvrnly-thr CLASS WILL Know All Men by These Presents: We, the undersigned, class of Summer ' 21 being, in this year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-one, the month of Jun e, the tenth day, in full possession of our faculties and about to depart from this vale of tears; do devise and bequeath, in this, our last will and testament. To those infinitesimal particles of humanity known as Senior B ' s, our little imitators, we leave the surplus of our originality to be used with extreme care as an over dose may prove fatal. To our dearly beloved faculty, we leave the memory of our un- equalled brilliancy to bolster them up during the recitations of the coming Senior A ' s. In addition to the above we do also leave the following bequests of personal effects with the consent of the donor. To Byron Kissenger, Station Rippey leaves his flow of eloquence, to be used with discretion. To Doris Denison, Billie Doran leaves her place of support in the main hall, also her stage presence, a valuable asset. To Byron Williams, Wentworth Goss leaves his gentle nature and managing ability, also his tactful method of bossing the Editor and the Stafl: ' in general. To Norman Anderson, Guy Denis leaves his newly acquired power to orate. To Dorothy Duncan, Virginia Dudley leaves her influence over the less deadly sex. To Sam Goldstein, Irving Asher leaves his genius for raising money, provided the finances of the Senior B ' s will permit. To Maxine Byers, Evelyn Elliott donates anything in the stafl rooms she may find with her blessings. To Margery Allen, Dorothy Newton bequeaths those of her unique gestures not necessary to her own happiness with the advice that she use them often as they lose half the attraction when one is out of prac- tice. To Basil McGann, Bob White leaves his highly magnified opinion of himself. To Genelle Woodrufl , Jimmy Trout leaves the secret of getting the semi-annual art work out on time. To Abie Fox, Keath Carver leaves his taking away. To Fred Reynolds, in his great need, the Summer 21 Farcifiers leave their smooth method of evading the law suits pending after the farce. To Margaret Berry, Mary Margaret Hudson leaves her polite way of returning .stories for the Semi-Annual. To Virginia Lee Smith, Mansfield Moyer leaves the remainder of his love poetry to be digested at intervals. To William Berger, Percival Spencer sorrowfully relinquishes his much cherished bandoline. To Burdett Elson, Verne Mantle cheerfully gives up his ability to miss the point of all jokes save his own. Page Seventy-four To Charles Stansbury, Nell Wilson leaves her power to please as he stands in sore need of it. To any one who needs it, Aves Durrant leaves her charming pef- sonality. To anyone who will h;ivo them Frank Fowler leaves his fairy-like ways. To Delmore Cheney, Ruth Miller leaves her perpetual smile to be used when his wears out. To the student proletariat we leave the remainder of their happy days at L. A. filled with the joys and disappointments of high school life, and the hope that they, too, will feel the same sense of work well done when thir graduation day and the end of their high school career is as close as ours is now. And now having disposed of those things for which we no longer have any use, we, the class of Summer 21, being of sound mind and unimpaired health, do with cheerful mien, to this our last will and tes- tament, duly witnessed and attested affix our seal on this 10th of June in the vear of our Lord nineteen hundred and twentv-one. ■ ' ' . . ifij.. Page Seventy-fiv THE SECOND INCARNATION OF THE CLASS OF SUMMER ' 21 Wentwoth Goss, clad in a suit of khaki, leather boots up to the knee, and a cork helmet with a scarf of noble green and white floating therefrom, was stalking the king of beasts in his habitat, namely, the wilds of Africa. His belt was hung with horse-pistols of varied degrees of deadliness. In his right hand he firmly held a beebe gun while in his leit he grasped a bowie knife. Care sat on his brow side by side with a smudge of dirt. Now what, you will ask, had driven our hero out into the deep, dark jungle, to grapple with Fate, surrounded by gorillas, baboons, leopards, boa-constrictors, etc? Ah! gentle readers, it was because of his past, which, like everyone ' s else had its ups and downs, the downs predominating. Cautiously he crept forward, inch by inch, peering anxiously before him, where he saw a lion ruminatively scratching his head with the end of his tail. His highness seemed entirely unaware of the presence of our hero, who drew a trusty pistol from his belt and fired. The first time he hit him he mi.ssed him, and the second time he hit him in the same place. This sound attracted the lion, which turned. Mr. Goss turned also. The law of self-preservation had always governed his life, so he fled. In fleeing, he tripped and fell. Like Alice- in-Wonderland, he fell through space for some little time, but finally alit on a pile of uncomfortably hard rocks. Groping about uncertain- ly he discovered a small aperture through which he crawled only to find himself in a large cavern, lighted only by fitful gleams. At the ex- treme end of the cave rim, mistly figures floated. Our friend crouched in a dignified position on the floor, as one of the apparitions came for- ward. From out the gloom a voice called dolefully, These are the wraiths of the Class of S 21 as they will appear in their second incarnation. Lo ! and likewise behold ! It was none other than our trusty ex-President of the Student Body, Guy Dennis. He carried in his hand a scroll, to which he referred constantly. Nadine Adams followed, gazing adoringly at him. When he came near enough Wentworth heard him say, Mr. Chairman and Representatives — . He was Speaker of the House. Percival Spencer then came forward, clad in a football suit. He was murmuring frantically: 16-17-86-3-145-gk-k-k. The quarterback of a century! cried someone wildly, waving a banner. Of course it was Audrey Ellis. Just as he passed to the other side of the cave a hideous sound was heard and someone came into view. He was going through the most painful contortions. Attachments of all kinds were fastened to his person, and which he manipulated with terrific ease and skill. It was Clinton Talbot, the human jazz band. He had scarcely disappeared from view when a busy, bustling creature whom Wentworth recognized as Gin Dudley, calling Down with man, up with woman ' s sufl ' rage ; universal women ' s sutt ' rage or bust! Behind her came another woman who was merely waving a yellow banner. This lady was no other than Mildred Jones. Of course Rudy Wilson and Louise Kramer were dancing attendance to them. Pane Seventy-six Before they had time to get safely away two ferocious looking peo- ple wearing hip-boots, tropical helmets and khaki shirts and trousers came striding into view. They were driving water buffaloes and crack- ed gigantic ox-goads as they spoke. Our latest enterprise, Maxine, said the first, whose voice sounded like that of Veo Caldwell, has been most successful — but, then, I always said that the Sahara Desert was an excellent place to raise rice! Eleanor Ames and Maude Hedrick followed closely, dressed in much the same manner. It was evident that they were assistants. Their imposing personages were succeeded by one much more striking. Indeed, lie was a combination of Buster Keaton, Chester Conklin and Ben Turpin, but our friend, Mr. Goss, recognized Bob Leath in this most peculiar fellow who went through such amazing antics. When Bob had finished his exhibition a small person surrounded by a group of somewhat noisy young men appeared. It was Gene Claytor, of cour. ' -e, playing her usual role — that is, amusing the oppo- site sex. The howling mob was composed of Johnny Boyd, Niles Pease, Rawson Bowen, Felix Chappellett, Leslie McKimon, and Francis Cochran. The rabble cleared away as Avis Durrant came forward wearing a gorgeous creation. What ' s that? gasped our hero. The voice replied, That is Signorina Aves Durrant, the famous Italian dress de- signer, and superior to Lady Duff -Gordon. The Signorina floated off — she was wearing an ethereal evening gown. Sacrcely had she vanished when a majestic arm of the law came tearing up. What was that commotion I heard just a moment ago? demanded Edward Palette in a loud, voluminous voice. Who wants to know? asked our hero. I Edward Palette, Chief of the Los An- geles police force! responded the gentleman, hurriedly, and hustled off, calling loudly: Way for the Chief! A studious gentleman walked to the front of the tavern — he had under each arm a huge leather bound volume labelled Self-Apprecia- tion, by Robert W hite, D. D., Ph. D., D. L., D. Y. Z., etc. Quite a group of people entered after the lone learned one had passed from view. They were all dawdling along, dressed in hiking costumes, talking and laughing good-naturedly. Oh, it is just Vir- ginia Van Nordeii and Ruth Price with some of their patients out for an airing, said the voice in answer to Mr. Goss ' anxious questioning. You know they started a fresh-air school. Among the people who passed before him, Mr. Goss recognized Alice Herb, Blanche Ferguson, Esther Bostleman, the Stevenson girls, Agnes Wickham, Dwight Hol- comb, MiltonAbrahams, Jack Chotiner, and many other people from the class. Gertrude Patton, our hunter recognized her at once, strode be- fore him with a very business-like air. What ' s the matter with her? asked Wentworth with an interested air. She is head of the street cleaning department of New York, answered the voice. Jimmie Trout and Clarence Heizer put in an appearance just then, dressed in denim overalls. They are making their fortunes with their brushes, said the voice. You didn ' t know they were artistic, did you? Page Seventy-seven Well, they ' re not— they scrub floors for a living. And it was only then that our hero noticed that they were both armed with scrubbing brushes. The sound of a hurdy-gurdy was heard and Dorothy Newton and Evelyn Elliott came in. Dorothy was dressed in the gorgeous costume of a Spanish dancer, and clicked castanets as she danced, while Evelyn ground out the music and held a tin-cup for the pennies. Wentworth groaned, Lo ! how have the mighty fallen! and closed his eyes. He was awakened by a shriek: Out damned spot! Out, I say! He raised his head feebly. It was La Rue Rich who was making her debut as a Shakespearean actress in the famous role of Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth disappeared with a wierd cry. To bed! To bed! and martial music was heard. Earl Brown and Willis Childs came into view pushing a Victrola. They halted and stepped aside — Hal Warner came up with an imposing flourish. He started the Victrola, then, whipping out his baton, he began to lead the records of Mr. Sousa ' s band. Earl Brown produced a placard with Willis Childs hung on the corner of the Victrola. It read : Demonstrations of our latest band records as lead by Mr. Hal Warner, every afternoon at 2 :30, Barker Bros. Music Dept. Willis and Earl played an obligato on their coat buttons. Bea Josten, Billy Doran, Ruth Packard and Nell Wilson came dancing in, followed by Busty Dupuy, who, the voice announced, was manager of the musical revue, Mixed Pickles, in which all four girls had prominent parts. Al Emery Rogers and Mary Margaret Hudson were seen approach- ing followed two hundred or so small children tagging after. All theirs? gasped Mr. Goss i nwild-eyed horror. Oh, dear, if Florence French were only hear! But the Voice assured him that it was only their adopted orphan asylum. Stanton Rippey and Keath Carver appeared just then. They both looked harmless, but Keath was heard to murmur: Genius are akin to fools! while Stanton Rippey giggled and agreed. You bet they are, someone called, Come on Napoleon, follow me King Henry! and John Hall came into view leading Gale Frey and Irving Asher by the hand. When he saw Keath and Stanton he said : Julius Caesar, you little rascal. What are you and Chaucer doing out here? And the crowd passed on. Just then Mansfield Moyer made his entrance declaiming: To be or not to be, that is the question. He made a violent gesture and so strong was his voice that it knocked poor Mr. Goss flat. He came to his senses slowly and gently. His head was still lying on the uncomfortably hard stone; no, it was not stone — but the desk of the Blue and White ofi ice. Some one had accidentally shut down the lid. When he had raised the lid he looked about him carefully. All was as before — Clinton Talbot was peacefully sailing a bedraggled fly in the paste cover on the soaking-pan. Wentworth heaved a great sigh of relief. Woof-woof! he said simply. Page Seventy-eight LITERARY Paye Seventy- TO MARGARET This afternoon when you were here beside me, You asked me if I ' d write an ode to you; And so, in fear that for neglect you ' d chide me, I ' m scribbling down these lines both short and few. You said that I must sing your praises loudly, Describe each eye and ear and raven lock, And I will do it willingly and proudly E ' en though my time is short by yon swift clock. It seems that green eyes lately are the fashion. Therefore, I ' ll say that thine are that bright hue. Not like a cat ' s (I fear thy wrath and passion If such a statement I should make to you). Next come the ears, but they are safely hidden Beneath thy dark and smoothly combed hair; So I ' ll not praise them as I once was bidden. We only know that they are safely there. As for thy hair — mere words cannot express it! To say it ' s long and dark is not enough. But all admire the simple way you dress it. With neither curious kink nor monstrous puff. And now that I have done my honest duty, In writing down for you the lines above. And made an ode upon thy obvious beauty, I ' ll cease, and only stop to send my love. —DOROTHY BOWEN. THE DREAM SHIP OF CAPJSTRANO Tell him 1 want a i)lai-t ' to hoai ' d tor a low weeks, near tho mis- sion. said Prof. Hilton to his young wife. She turned to the Mexican, spoke a few moments in Sj anish. and said to her husband, He says he can take us at his house, John. It ' s right across from the mission. We can stay as long as we want. A few small points being settled through his w-ife ' s interpretation, Prof. Hilton picked up the bags he had set down on the porch of the Capistrano po.stotYice and the three set off for the little adobe house the old Mexican had described. Young Professor Hilton had been working for some years on a history of California. All was complete save the chapter on the Mis- sions and he was now taking his summer vacation with his wife, visit- ing them. On this rather warm day in Augu.st, they had alighted from the train at Capistrano, an d walking up to the postoffice, had had the good fortune to meet the wrinkled old Mexican smoking lazily in the sun. Professor Hilton had addressed him pleasantly, Init the old man drew back, almo.st in fear. Aw! he ' s only a half-wit. He can ' t even talk English, said another lounger by the door. Mrs. Hilton, glad to do something to help with her husband ' s work, which to her appeared most glorious achievement, and having taken two years of high- school Spanish, eagerly asked the old man the question, in pieced out sentences but having some resemblance to his own tongue. That is how the Hiltons came to board at Old Juan ' s. Mrs. Hilton, still only a girl, spent most of her time on the beach, lovingly embroidering neckties which her husband insisted were too pretty to wear, dear, gathering shells, and playing with the few children w ho came to the lonely beach. Professor Hilton went to the Mission early every morning, took photographs of it, romanced and dreamed about it, and wrote its hist- ory. After a longer day of research work than usual at the old Mission, Professor Hilton returned to Juan ' s house, and wearily .seated him- self opposite his host, to await his wife ' s return. The sun had gone down and soft gray veils of twilight were just covering the crimson and gold in the We.st. A slight breeze came up and swayed the honey- suckle vines on the porch, and the odor of the orange tree in the little side yard drifted past in a flood of almost intoxicating sweetness. The professor looked lazily at his companion. The dimness of dusk about them prevented his seeing clearly, but he could feel the peculiar intensity of the old man ' s gaze. What is it, Juan ' ? he asked, forgetting for the moment that his words would not be understood. Ah, Senor, I speak the English, though there are none about here that would know of it now. They laughed at me long ago when I told them the story of ' The Ship of Dreams, ' and I have never spoken your language since then. I can remember little now, Senor, but the time when I was a child and my grandmother told me the old tales of her girlhood. She was very old, I remember her white hair and wrinkled cheeks, and she carried a cane when she walked. I remember well one night when she sat with me on this porch and told me the tale of the Pai c Eif htn-onc little Jacinta. The old memories are so real tonight, Senor. Shall I tell to you this tale? The professor assented eagerly and as the darkness imperceptibly deepened, the old man chanted his fantastic tale. Long , long ago, only a very few years after the Mission was founded, a little girl came to live with an old Indian woman just out- side the gates of the Mission. Her brother had become a monk and had brought his tiny sister with him from Spain. She was a shy, imag- inative child and played often on the sand and in the surf. As she outgrew babyhood, she became more thoughtful and her one desire in life was to see the far countries of the world and to know strange people and to sail far across the sea to unknown countries. She saw no one but the Indians that the monks befriended, the monks themselves and the woman, Mariquita, with whom she lived, but her imagination peo- pled the lonely beach with strange figures and filled the ocean with ships. She loved the world. The white sand, the ocean, sometimes blue, sometimes gray or green, the sea gulls with great fleet wings and the big lonesome sky that changed from hour to hour, were her most intimate friends. When a wave would lap her little bare feet, she would exclaim, ' Oh, that little wave came from Spain. ' When the stars shone down at night she would say, ' They shine over the icy lands of the north. ' When the great gray sea gulls flew over the land, ' Per- haps they have seen the Fountain of Youth, perhaps they have flown with the great ships that sail far across the sea — perhaps they have seen strange people of many countries, as I will some day. ' She was happy, there was only one thing to make her happier, to fly with the sea gulls or drift with the tide to far ports. When she was only a tiny child she said : I want to know every one in the world. ' Her imagin- ation made friends for her. Spanish maidens danced and swung their tambourines in the surf, every rock pool was a Fountain of Youth. Chinese priests walked silently, their arms folded in silken sleeves, be- side the dark skinned Moores and stalwart Vikings. My grandmother told me, Senor, that little Jacinta could not read, that no one told her stories, and yet she knew of all these countries and their inhabitants as if she had lived in each. Jacinta grew older, grew to be a tall and stately girl, so my grandmother ' s legend goes, and happy as the day was long. But one day there came a message from a distant relation in Spain, saying that she was to come home and enter a convent there. When Jacinta took the letter to the priest, she held it tight in ecstacy and wondered how far it had come. When the priest read it to her, her joy was so great, that she flung herself at his feet and sobbed in a delirious gladness. Her great wish was to come true. But when he explained to her that she would never be allowed to see any one but the nuns, and that instead of seeing the romance of far countries, she would see nothing but a convent garden from day to day. Ah, Senor, that was a tragedy. Only a young girl, that loved the great free earth, to end her life so soon. But she only rose to her feet and said, ' Yes, my father, ' and left the old priest. Then she went down to the beach. The sun went down over the water and the grayness of twilight soon covered the sunset glories. Jacinta could not summon her strange Pane Eightij-two companions — they only come when the heart is light. The water and sky became gray. She reeled and fell senseless on the sand. When she came to herself, the moon had risen, a pale friendly lamp to light weary travelers home. The stars twinkled in a friendly way, many colored as her dreams had been. Then far away, it seemed at first from the stars, a faint bell-like music flowed. Her eyes wan- dered to the ocean, and there was a wondrous sight. Not so far from the shore, that every detail was not visible, was a strange ship. Its deck was golden as the sunlight, its sails the color of crimson sunset, were shot through with moon-silver. From one side of it, straight to the beach where Jacinta knelt in wonder was a path of moonbeams and down the path swiftly came the figure of a man, radiating light. He .stopped in front of the girl and said in a voice that seemed to come from the sea itself: ' Yonder is the Ship of Dreams. It sails to far countries, swift as the wind. It is a phantom ship, but a ship more real than any you have ever seen. Come with me behind the sunset sails and you shall see strange lands and peoples and live in sweeter romance than your wild- est fancies. Oh, come! Sail with me to the far ports of the world. ' ' But Maraquita — the priest — ' ' You may leave a message for them, ' said the strang being. He dipped a tiny golden quill in the moon lit water and gave it to her. ' Write, ' he said, and though she had never written a word in her life she inscribed on a flat stone : ' I, Jacina, have gone to the far ports of the world in the Ship of Dreams. The master of the ship took her hand, and together they walked down the path of moonlight. None ever saw Jacinta after that, but many read the inscription on the stone. You may think what you please Senor, it is only a legend told by an old woman to a child who is now old and feeble and can remember nothing but the legends of the past. The moon had risen and the night was quite light. The old Mex- ican was staring .straight ahead — living over the legends of a by-gone time. Professor Hilton started as if awakened. He suddenly remem- bered that his wife should have been home before now. Quickly he ran down the road to the beach. As he went, he thought of Juan ' s strange tale. It ' s very beautiful, but a little weird, he soliloquized. What wonderful imaginations these Latins have. He came suddenly upon his wife kneeling on th e sand. Whv, Alice, he exclaimed as he saw her bending over a flat gray .stone, It ' s too late for you to be out, dear. Oh, John, I ' m so glad you ' ve come. she said, with a little tremor of excitement in her voice, Ju.st see what I ' ve found! She showed him the flat stone. On its surface, in letters dimmed by age but showing silver in the moonlight he could distinguish a few Spanish words. Look. said Alice, Here — this means ' Ship of Dreams ' and this, tracing with a slender forefinger, means ' far ports ' and here is a name, ' Jacinta. ' Paijc Eiyhty-lhrcc Was soft music borne on the air, from the stars or from the sea? Was there a faint outline of a golden ship at the end of a moonbeam path? Into John ' s heart crept a great fear. Alice, Alice, don ' t go away! Why, I ' m right here, dear. Did you think I ' d leave you after not seeing you for a whole day? Where did you think I would go? Her soft eyes, full of the love of home, looked trustingly into his, as he guided her half reluctant steps from the beach. Surely he saw the faint flutter of outgoing sails. BARBARA BRIDGEFORD A TRIOLET I never was meant fer a poet, But a poet I mu.st be. I ' m almost ashamed to show it; I never was meant for a poet ! My friends and my family know it, And no one knows better than me. I never was meant fer a poet But a poet I must be ! I ' ayc Eiahttj-four THE PHANTOM OF THE SEA There has been so much cynical comment, clisbeliet ' and ridicule in the newspapers concerning the strange diary of my clear Iriend, the late Byron Pierce, and so many implications questioning his sanity that, I ' eeling that 1 am probably better accjuainted with this matter than any living man, 1 have felt called ujion to set before the jiublic the facts as I know them. 1 met my old college friend for the fii ' st time in ten years in the i)ub- lic library of Boston, Massachusetts, where he was delving into some books on mechanics. Pierce had the rather rare combination of being a dreamer, a man of unusually good judgement and common sense, and an excellent mechanic. Consequently, I was not surprised when the next ilay he told me that he was just completing a suit of diving armor of aluminum bronze, with which he hoped to reach a depth of live hundred feet and to salv- age treasure ships. I drew back somewhat when he told me that he wished me to finance the enterprise and enter it as his partner, but on second thought, when I remembered that I had never known him to undertake anything that he was unable to carry to a successful con- clusion, 1 agreetl to do so. In less than three months Pierce completed the arnmr and also con- structed a powerful submarine searchlight to be lowered with the diver, for at a depth of over three hundred feet, the ocean bed receives very lit- tle sunlight. Pierce ' s armor was a self-contained suit, that is, there was no air hose. Instead the diver carried five cylinders of compressed air calcu- lated to last for two and one-half hours. Its chief merit lay in his per- fect workmanship on the weak part of diving armor — the joints — which gave the diver greater freedom of movement, removed most of the clum- siness usually accompanying submarine armor and still left it water- tight. He even provided a pair of hands, like stiff, clumsy mittens in place of the usual pinchers on the ends of the arms. After some deliberation my Iriend and I chose for the scene of our first operations, a spot off the island of Trinidad, near the mouth of the Orinoco, where a Spanish treasure galleon, dispatched by Pizzaro to the King of Spain and sunk by an English sea-rover, lay in three hundred and twenty-five feet of water. We hired a small tramp steamer at Mobile and embarked on the third day of June. With fair, calm weather, we soon arrived at Trinidad. After a little difficulty we located the place of the wreck. It was about half a mile off the coast, and as the sea was unusually calm we dropped our port anchor and set to work. Here there was a very peculiar, and for us, fortunate circumstance; for, due to a precipitous sloping of the ocean bottom, while the bow anchor reached bottom, the stern floated over one hundred and eight fathoms of water. Pierce donned the armor and the helmet was securely screwed on. He carried with him a six-foot spear of his own making with a narrow fourteen-inch blade of finest steel, honed to razor sharpness for protec- tion against sharks or octopi. He was then picked up by a small crane. Page Eiuht,,-iii ' t for the armor alone weighed some six hundred pounds, swung over the side of the ship and lowered into the water. A large iron chest to receive anything of value which he might find was also let down. Pierce had been down probably three quarters of an hour, during which the eastern sky had clouded, when a sudden squall of wind, caus- ing the ship to veer around and drag her anchor made it imperative for all on deck to assist in casting out her other anchor. When I returned to the life-line it was jerked twice, and at my order two sailors seiz ' ed the handles of the crane ' s windlass and commenced to wind in the life- line. At the same time the search-light was pulled up. In a few minutes Pierce was swung safely on board. By this time the sky was black and angry and the sea lashed into fury by a driving wind and rain. Frequent livid, blinding flashes of lightning illuminated the ocean. Mighty billows sprayed us with their phosphorescent foam. The captain refused to stay a moment longer than was necessary to get Pierce aboard, so, leaving the iron chest at the bottom and slipping our anchors instead of weighing them, we made for port. When I unscrewed my friend ' s helmet, he looked very pale and his teeth were chattering. At my inquiry he replied that the extreme cold of the water at the great depth of the wreck had badly chilled him, so I helped him below, gave him plenty of wraps and a hot footbath and had the cook make him some hot chocolate. He asked me why he had not been raised when he first signalled and 1 explained to him that he must have signalled during the few mo- ments when my services were needed in casting out the starboard anchor. I also told him that we had been forced for the safety of the ship to come off and leave the iron chest at the bottom. Then he related to me the strangest story I ever heard, which is best told in his own words, taken from the much-questioned diary. I write this in order that, in case I do not return from my next descent to the ocean bed, the world may know from my own hand what I saw on my first descent and why I did not return from my second. The crane swung me over the side of the vessel and I was slowly lowered into the ocean. The green sea water swirled against the heavy glass in the front of my helmet and my armor grew lighter and lighter as I descended. When I reached the bottom and swung the searchlight on it I was dazzled. The old wreck was rotten and crumbling, but on one side of it, for a space of thirty feet across, the sand was literally paved with silver bars. I immediately set to work loading these into the chest which had been lowered with me, but in a few minutes, in spite of the heavy pad- ding of my diving armor I was numb with the deadly cold of the water, as it was, at that depth, little above freezing. Regardless of this I con- tinued my work and had nearly finished when I felt something moving in the water near me and looked up. The sight that met my gaze froze my blood far more than the icy water had been able to. May God protect me from another one like it. Approaching me through the pale green sea water was a gigantic mon- ster, resembling Jv lobster save for its mammoth size, its huge, unwieldy claws waving and its little glassy eyes glaring from their stalks. For a moment I stood paralized. Then I jerked my life-line twice, a signal for those on deck to pull me up. Imagine my horror when there was no reply. I repeated the signal, still with no result. The scene that followed is as indelibly stamped upon my memorj as though it was done with a hot iron. I saw that enormous monster com- ing toward me, its tive-foot claws waving clumsily and its great jointed legs moving with a horrid spider-like motion that made my very flesh crawl. Well 1 realized that once in the grip of those terrible claws my armor would be crushed like an egg shell and when it was broken open I would be eaten as I have seen injured and helpless crawfish fought over and eaten by their brethren. 1 grasped the spear I had brought with me, but with an unuttered curse 1 realized its uselessness against an armored monster such as this. Even as I did so I received an inspiration, a desperate, terrible inspira- tion, and 1 grasped at it as a drowning man grasps at a straw. Crouching down, knees bent, I waited till the monster was within seven feet of me. Then with every ounce of strength in my body I lunged forward, driving my spear directly at one of the crustacean ' s eye-stalks. The razor edge of the steel cleft through it as though it were a rotten parsnip, and turning, I made a wild slash at the other one. The cut went true, slicing off not only the eye-stalk but also one of the antennae, so that both of the eyes sank to the bottom and .stared up at me from the sand. Throwing myself to the left I evaded by the breadth of a hair one of the monster ' s huge, slow, clumsy claws and barely escaped tang- ling my life-line about it. On reaching a safe distance I burst into hysterical laughter at the crustacean ' s blind efforts to reach me. Re- covering myself, I again signalled to be raised. This time my signal was answered. When I learned that the chest of silver had to be left on the ocean bottom 1 resolved to descend again and make fast a new cable. My partner, Mr. Donahue, endeavored to dissuade me but I was deter- mined. Suffice it to say that in spite of my most earnest entreaties my friend Pierce descended again, and while he was in three hundred and twenty-five feet of water his life-line suddenly grew taunt and snapped, and that though we dragged the bottom with grapples for hours our labor was fruitless. These are the simple, ungarnished facts of the case, and I would like to say I never knew a saner or more sensible man than my friend Pierce. Even scientists admit that there may be forms of life on the ocean bottom of which we know nothing. It is my opinion that the giant k)bster met by my friend belungs to this class. RICHARD JENKINS WHAT ' S IN A NAME? Archibald Lafayette Pemberton is the name that was wished on me. Regardless of that, however, I am, as any of the boys will tell you, a good sort of fellow. My mother is responsible for the Archibald Lafayette, which has been the bugbear of my school days ever since I was in the first grade. Of course I always disguise it under the name of Arch or Bud but sooner or later some brilliant saphead dis- covers the Lafayette and then I ' m in for it. But I show ' em they can ' t treat me rough and we settle down to a period of peace. Ever since I can remember, my mother has had a passion for family names. Dad says he believes the only reason she married him was that Pemberton is an aristocratic sounding name. I don ' t see why, ju.st because her father ' s name was Archibald and her last name hap- pened to be Lafayette, she had to inflict them both on me. Dad would much rather have named me George or Bill, but — well, if you knew mother you ' d understand why I remained Archibald Lafayette. We travel around the country quite a bit because of Dad ' s busi- ness and every time we move to a different city mother says, I wonder if there could possibly be a branch of our family here? and she runs for the telephone book and looks up Lafayette, her maiden name. Mother is a fine woman, of course, but let me tell you, dad and I get mighty tired of the Lafayettes. Even if they are one of the first fam- ilies, it doesn ' t make it more interesting to us. Last winter we moved to Pittsburgh. As per usual, mother got the telephone book a week after we were settled and ran her finger down the L ' s. Sure enough, this time she finds a Lafayette. Lafayette, Miss Henrietta L. Res. 283 W. .39th Ave., So. 200, she cried in exultation. How interesting! She may be one of my dear grandfather ' s descendants. You know he had eighteen children. Dad looked at me, and I looked at him. We both sighed. We knew she wouldn ' t rest until she found out if this Henrietta person was related to her. The next day she got out her family tree book and studied it over for at least the millionth time. It tells about every Lafayette for cen- turies back. IMother is, as we fellows say, bugs about ' em. If you ' d ask her, she ' d tell you it was a shame that Adam ' s last name was left out of the Bible but that she was sure it was Lafayette ! Pretty soon she exclaims, Why, there was a ' Henry, ' Henry Aug- ustus, son of Norman. This Henrietta must be a descendant of Henry Augustus — it would only be natural to name the girl after her grand- father. Yes, I must call her up. Dad was reading the paper and I was trying to concentrate on Shakespeare, when she went into the hall to telephone. After ten min- utes she came back. You never saw anyone more excited. I thought, I s ' pose I ' ve got to hear about the Lafayettes now. I didn ' t say any- thing, though. My dear, she said to dad, I am sure this Miss Henrietta Lafay- ette is a relative of ours. Isn ' t it lovely, finding a relative here in Pitts- burgh ' . ' I just can ' t wait to see her and talk with her. Page Eighty-eiglit Humph! said dad I ' roni behind his paper. And such a sweet Southern voice and accent with that meUow tone, continued mother. You Itnow, some of the Lafayettes settled in South Carolina. Don ' t you remember, John? Umph — umph, said dad. The way I ' ve reasoned it out is that she is our twenty-thiril cousin. Archibald, she said, turning to me, (I never could yet her to ijuit calling me by that awful name), won ' t it be nice for you to have a new cousin? What ' s the use of a grown-up cousin? I ' ve already more than I want. Cousins aren ' t even as goocl as aunts, was what I replied. Miss Henrietta Lily must be religious — Great guns. Mom, I burst in, she doesn ' t call herself Henrietta Lily, does she? What a name — Why, yes, mother explained, she seemed very emphatic about that, although she did pronounce Lafayette, Laffayette. When I asked if Miss Henrietta Lafayette livetl there, she replied, ' Yes, this is Miss Henrietta Lily Laffayette. ' Probably an eccentricity. The Lafayette ' s are noted for their eccentricities. Dad muttered something about freakishness but 1 didn ' t ciuite understand it. Well, as I was saying, continued mother, she must be quite religious. She said she was going to prayer meeting tonight. Going to prayer meeting, eh? said dad. Wonder what church? She said the Pentecostal Baptist church. Dad went on reading and then all of a sudden he started chuck- ling and said something about lilies, although I couldn ' t see what they had to do with what he was reading. Something funny, John? mother asked. But he didn ' t say a word. All through dinner the next night mother extolled the virtues of the Lafayettes. The dandy chicken dinner was completely spoiled for dad and me. Just imagine listening to this all through the meal. Chicken a la King always reminds me of Uncle Charles Lafayette. He was so fond of it. It was his favorite dish. And artichokes! Poor dear Grandfather Lafayette did like them so. Grandmother Lafayette used to have them tixed with and on and on until we were com- pletely exhausted. It was just after the banana cream pie (banana cream pie will always bring back memories of that night to me) that dad, in desper- ation, exploded the bomb. Mother got as red as a beet. She asked him why he hadn ' t told her before and said she thought he was just cruel. It affected her in the right way though. From that day she hasn ' t said a word about the Lafayettes. The subject of family names is a closed one at our house. If any visitor happens to mention names, mother shuts up like a clam. Dad winks at me, and I wink back, ' cause we three are the only ones who understand. It isn ' t vei-y often he puts Parte Eight]i-nine anything over on mother, but he did that time and he was mighty pleased about it, too. And what do you suppose he told her? Even I ' ll admit it was quite a shock, to hear him say: Well, Elizabeth, your Miss Henrietta Lily Lafayette is a ' lily all right, but she ' s a colored one. Then he ex- plained further by saying, What I mean is that she is either an old mamy who takes in washing, or more probably, a Darktown belle. Dad knew, because Rastus, the elevator man at the office, had told him that he had got religion and was now a member of the Pente- costal Baptist Church, — fah culled folks only. All I can say is that it ' s a mighty good thing something happened to cure mother, for dad and I couldn ' t have stood it much longer. It all goes to remind us of what Mr. William Shakespeare said, What ' s in a nanie? — even if it is Lafayette. MARJORIE ALLEN THE SUNSET OF LIFE The perfect day is done, the sun has set. The sea and sky enwrapped in flame are seen. The gulls their ruffled pearl-grey feathers preen; Shining Apollo ' s fiery chariot Is drawn where golden sea and sky are met. Above the sea ' s translucent emerald green The stoic gull sails high, the ocean ' s queen; The great black rocks with curdling spray are wet. So unrelentlessly does death draw nigh : The evil greatly fear, the good are glad. Like little children in the dark who go To bed with footsteps faltering and slow. In memory they look back at good and bad. And some are happy; others deeply sigh. —PAUL FRENCH. THE ADVENTURE OF JIMMY O ' SHANE It was a clear, warm iiiKht on the Pucitie. Jimmy O ' Shane dream- ily gazed at the stars which seemed Ijriyht ami luminous in the sum- mer sky. Years seemed to have elapsed since the call of the recruiting poster had enticed him. Join the Navy! Travel! See the World! it had called, and the adventurous spirit of O ' Shane had answered its beckoning. But no adventure had been his. For eight months the bat- tleship Arkansas hatl cruised back ami forth from San Diego tu San Francisco, a trip that proved irksome and tedious to Jimmy. Hundreds of pairs of feet could be heard clumping to the mess- room. A young blue-jacket approached O ' Shane, and called: Come on Sherlock! Perhaps you ' ll find your great adventure in our stew! Maybe the potatoes have murdered the onions! Not a shade of annoyance could be seen upon Jimmy ' s face, for he had grown accustomed to the banter in which his friends so liked to indulge. Once down stairs in the mess-room, he lost his apathy, and joined in the hub-bub that prevailed. Everyone was in the be.st of good spirits, for it was entertainment night, and a vaudeville show had been prom- ised. After chow, the sailors hurried into the entertainment room. But not so with Jimmy, for fate seemed against him. To add to his al- ready morose spirits, it was his night for guard duty, it lapped against the somber gray of the battleship, and soberly wished A sigh of resignation escaped him, and he strode down the deck. After reporting to the chief petty officer, he obtained his musket, and took his post on the super-structure deck. He gazed at the water as that he had been born a fish. Fishes had freedom, sailors had not. In the distance, the lights of the automobiles as they sped along the boule- vard, seemed to be winking and blinking at his plight. The ship ' s clock pealed one bell, and O ' Shane began his weary march. He listened to the steady swish of the water. Suddenly the chug-chug of a motor boat broke the quiet, and Jimmy glanced downward. At this moment he heard a splash. Immediately alert, he distinguished by the aid of a flashlight, a small box which bobbed upon the inky black of the water. To his great surprise, O ' Shane saw that the box was being kept afloat by three large corks. He hid in the shadows, and watched the move- ments of the motor boat which steadily approached the ship. Then it swerved in its course, and headed for the little box which had been carried away from the battleship by the swift current. His curiosity aroused, O ' Shane resolved that he must obtain the mysterious box. Hey! he called, Upon whose orders has a convoy been sent here? This, as he had wisely anticipated, caused the boat to turn about, and chug away towards the Cliff House, whose lights shone in the distance. Some little bluffer, I am, ejaculated O ' Shane. He hastily pulled off his middy, preparatory for a plunge into the water. He stopped abruptly, for he realied that it would be folly to attempt such a reck- less act. He gazed down at the water, and to his great disappointment saw that the box had disappeared. For over an hour, O ' Shane anxiously Pagr Niv,hi-one searched for the box, but in vain. He heard lootsteps, hastily picked up his musl et, and paced the deck. It was his relief. It seemed impos- sible that the period of his duty could have passed by so quickly. He gave one last look at the water which seemed to gaze blankly at him as if it, too, were puzzled at such strange happenings, picked up his middy, and walked down to the berth deck. Two days elapsed, and O ' Shane saw nothing of the box. On the third afternoon after his discovery, he walked to the bow of the ship, on the main deck. As he looked down at the ropes which held the ship at anchor, a flash of light, like that of a mirror, shone in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, and beheld a small shiny box surrounded by three large corks entangled in the network of ropes. He hastily concealed his surprise and carelessly turned away. It seemed that darkness would never come. In the evening at chow, he was forced to eat a large meal, for having earned reputa- tion of being a hearty eater, anything to the contrary might prove detri- mental to his plans. If once his friends suspected him of delving into mysterious boxes, his opportunity for adventure would be lost. Late that evening, he stealthily .stole out upon the main deck. He had secreted a large boat hook near the bow of the ship in a life boat. He climed into the boat for he heard voices approaching. He lay still scarcely daring to breathe. The sound died away and Jimmy arose once more. After listening intently and looking carefully about him, he slowly lowered the hook. After many futile efforts, he succeeded in obtaining a hold upon a wire that bound the box. Slowly he raised the hook. A cry of joy escaped his lips as the box fell with a low thud upon the deck. After secreting it under his middy O ' Shane climbed into a life boat which was scarcely visible in the thick fog which was slowly rising. By the aid of his knife he succeeded in loosening a thin wire which entwined the box. Breathless with excitement, he opened it. It was empty! He groaned half audibly, and threw the box at his feet. Some inner voice prompted Jimmy to look once more. As he picked it up the bottom fell out, and with it a piece of paper. Greatly aston- ished, O ' Shane gasped with wonderment. He rescued the paper and stupidly gazed at it. It seemed that he was experiencing the unpleas- ant symptoms of hallucinations. After a few moments he took out his flashlight, and closely scrutinized the paper. On it, was written an un- distinguishable jumble of numbers. Jimmy ' s mind, fired by innumerable adventurous novels depicting international plots, immediately conjured the answer to the secret code. What thoughts raced through the mind of this imaginative blue- jacket, alone in the wet fog as he sat hidden from the world in a life boat. An hour passed. Suddenly O ' Shane felt himself shivering, and realized that he had been drenched with fog. He stilly arose, swung his arms about him, and slowly walked down the deck. After assuring himself that the precious paper was safe inside his pocket, he hid the box under his middy, and softly stole down the stairs. On the berth deck all was still. Paye Ninely-lwo He carefully woiulcd his way through the maze of hummocks. After ■what appeared an interminable length of time, Jimmy found himself at his hammock. He carefully let it down, undressed, and climbed into his hammock. Then, with the exhaustion that comes from e.xcess nervous e.xcitement, O ' Shane soundly slept. Ne.xt morning, the call of the reveille awakened him. He imme- diately recalled the events of the previous niirht, and a delicious feeling of anticipation thrilled his entire body. He Jumped up, hurriedly dressed, and ran whistling into the washroom. Huh! grunted one gloomy blue-jacket, O ' Shane must feel good. Guess today ' s his liberty. Jimmy halted suddenly. It occurred to him instantly that this was the day for which he had been eagerlv waiting. This was the 5th of June, his day of liberty. He gave a whoop of jov, and raced out upon the deck. There, in the seclusion of his life boat, he felt into his pocket, and gave a grunt of satisfaction. The precious paper was still there. He had hidden the box in his trunk, a place where no one would explore. He arose, and smilingly walked to the mess room. This unexpected good fortune would enable him to mail the code to Washington. His fir.-t impulse had been to report the matter to the cantain, but had not all of his idolized heroes sent their secret codes to Washington? Cer- tainly. Therefore, he must. Ten o ' clock that morning saw O ' Shane skimminsr over the bay in the ship ' s launch. It was a perfect summer ' s dav. The foam that fol- lowed in the launch ' s wake seemed like bits of the few lazy clouds that floated in the blue skv above. The launch came to a stop near the Ferry Building, and discharged its carsfo of sailors. Jimmy bade his friends goodbye, and jauntily tipped his cap. He swung around the corner, and entered a small hotel. After obtaining stationery from the clerk, Jimmy seated himself at a desk and began the task of writing a letter to the Secret Service chief. How adventurous this sounded to the sensational heart of this sailor. Sud- denly his enthusiasm deserted him. He realized that should his ad- venture prove to be without the result he anticipated, suspicion of be- ing a practical joker would be cast upon him. Then the daring im- Dulsive nature of Jimmv O ' Shane overcame all his doubts, and throw- insr care to the winds, he wrote a letter depicting the circumstances which had led up to his discovery. Without another vlance, he thrust the code and the letter into an envelope and sealed it. A few hours later the hopes and dreams of Jimmy were speeding eastward to Wash- ington on the Sunset Limited. He wandered onto the street. There, a never-endiner stream of humanity hurried onward. The loneliness which had left him since the beginning of his adventure, again descended upon him. He spent a few moments gazing into the faces of the manv peoples, and wondered what joys and sorrows lay hidden beneath their passive faces. Night found Jimmy once more on the Battleshin Arkansas, and the eye of the casual observer could not suspect the thoughts of this un- assuming blue-jacket. Page Nitictij-thrce For three weeks O ' Shane had risen in eager expectancy for the forth-coming day. Each day he had eagerly watched for the mail, and each day had disconsolately been turned away. His pals noted the far-away look in his eyes, and laughingly accused him of being in love. Saturday, the day of the semi-annual football game between the battleships Arkansas and Wyoming dawned bright and sunny. All along the decks huge posters announced the coming game. The sailors in their snowy white uniforms added to the gala-day atmosphere that permeated the ship. For two hours, launches plied back and forth carrying the jolly groups to the immense athletic field. Among them, his face glowing and eyes shining, could be seen Jimmy, all troubles temporarily forgotten. From the time that the shrill whistle of the referee split the air at the start of the game until the finish, the Arkansas football stars were victorious. The day seemed predestined to be an exciting one, for that even- ing after mess, a special assembly was called. There was a quiet, mys- terious air about the ship which everyone seemed to sense. In the as- sembly room the voices of hundreds of sailors filled the air. There was a sudden quiet, as the ship ' s commander stepped upon the platform. Boys, he said, I want you all to meet our new captain. Cap- tain Bradley, meet your new crew. A stern, energetic man arose from a chair on the platform, and spoke a few perfunctory words which were scarcely intelligible to the sailors, so greatly were they surprised and amazed at this sudden change. Why had not their former captain given a farewell speech, as was customary? Why had there been so much secrecy concerning his removal? These and many other thoughts filled the minds of the assemblage. Far into the night could be heard the whispers of the puzzled sailors. All were mystified except Jimmy O ' Shane, as he sat dreamily gaz- ing at the stars which seemed bright and luminous in the summer sky. He happily hummed, Where Do We Go From Here? He had reason to feel gay, for that afternoon he had received the following letter: Washington, D. C, June 29. James O ' Shane, Able-bodied Seaman, Care Battleship Arkansas, San Francisco, California. Seaman O ' Shane: — You will proceed this date to San Pedro, California, traveling in accordance with instructions contained in your report. Immediately upon your arrival at San Pedro, you will proceed to Pier 14, and there take Government conveyance to the Naval Destroyer Station, where you will receive the commission of Chief Petty Officer on board Submarine A-41. Upon your arrival at the station, report to the commanding officer, delivering these orders, transportation report, identification report and transfer papers. Page Ninety-four Transportation and subsistance enrouto are furnished herewith and you will obtain receipts for all Government cash expended enroute. Due to your close observance and efforts you have saved your country large sums of money, and have aided in the conviction of Cap- tain P ' rank Garland. The code which you so wisely sent us, disclosed one of the most daring alcoholic smuggling plots known. It has come under recent notice that unusually large shipments of alcohol for the U. S. S. Arkansas have been ordered. The code which you sent us, has enabled us to apprehend Captain Garland as embezzler of Government alcohol which had been intended for use in the ship ' s compass. Your service, which has been of unestimable value, needless to say should be a strictly private matter. Wishing you the best of luck for your future life in the Navy, I remain, Verv cordially vours, Wi ' lliam McCathy, First Assistant Secretary of the Navy. i MARIAN IMMERGLUCK Page Xinctij-fiv WE ' LL CALL IT GOLDEN CALIFORNIA The first early light-shafts of an April morning were greeted by lifting anchor and hoisting sails of the Esperanza. The wind seemed to grasp the happiness and sadness caused by the departure of the brave little craft, and tugged earnestly at the great white sails as if it were anxious to have the ship on her way. So it was that the Esper- anza with her holds full of gold and hides, and her decks crowded with Spanish fathers and adventurers, eager at the prospect of return- ing to Spain, sailed gracefully out into the endless expanse of gray- blue M ' ater. Don Ec Sandro Fernandez stood erect and alone upon the bleached whiteness of the sand. The wind ruffled his crisp black hair play- fully, but still he was sad, for the link between the young Spaniard and the old world was severed and could never again iDe welded together. All of this Don realized and a great deal more besides. He knew that his heart ached and was continually crying for Mariana; that he longed to call after the now distant ship, bidding her stop and take him back to the land of gaiety — to his loved Senorita. But he had made his vow and he was determined it should not be broken. So after slowly replacing his sombrero, he turned and walked resolutely toward the mission where the bells were tolling for early mass. This is the history of Don Ec Sandro, the young rancher of early California. He was the younger son of a Spanish nobleman who lived in Madrid. His ever-ready wit and daring audacity made him his father ' s idol, while his handsome dark features and laughing good humor held his mother captive. It was no wonder that all who knew him liked him, although few altogether approved of him. Among these was Mariana, the daughter of Senor Andrade, a learned man of piety and discretion. Ec Sandro and Mariana had grown up together for the door in the vine-covered wall which marked their father ' s villas had never been closed since the birth of the children. And when Mariana had bloomed into the perfection of Castilian girlhood, she still found Ec Sandro the most desirable of all her companions. However, she frowned ever so sternly, and shook her dark head gravely, when she began to realize that her handsome cavalier was a man of gaiety, who found life a continuous round of bull-fights and gambling. So it was that when Ec Sandro told her of his love for her that she snapped her fingers under his nose and called him a lazy good-for- nothing. Now our cavalier knew that he was handsome, for he had observed many senoritas glancing admiringly toward him, and he was sure that he was clever. And knowing these two facts, he had pro- nounced himself quite the most desirable and sought-for young man in Madrid. But to have the girl he loved, his life-long friend, call him a good-for-nothing was an unexpected blow that fired him with anger and determination. Don Ec Sandro had boarded the first ship bound for the new world and from that time he had been a man of one idea, working always to win Mariana. He had loved the land of California increas- ingly from the first. There was a bigness, a bright clearness about the country, that inspired Ec Sandro and called for the best in him. Slowly and patiently, he had gathered together a fine herd of long-horned cattle, and had built a house, corrals, and cattle sheds. Then he had sent a messenger to Mariana begging her forgiveness and asking if he might return to Spain and bring her back to California Land. But the messenger had returned and had brought no answer. It was then that Ec Sandro realized how much he loved his new home and though his heart ached for his sweetheart he could not leave his land of sunshine. He had vowed that he would not return to Spain and as he watched the Esperanza being swallowed up into the horizon he was both glad and sad that he had kept that vow. Late in the afternoon of that perfect April day, Ec Sandro saddled his hor e and started up the beaten trail into the foothills. ' Twas near the time of day that he loved best and he hurried up the grade so that he would be well up on the heights as the sun was setting. When he had reached the hilltop, he turned to gaze out upon the fair scene be- fore him. Below him close against the hills was the Mission with her crude cathedral anl great walled patio. On the flat plain he could see cattle, cattle, his cattle, on his corrals — his home. And on beyond all this was the ocean, blue and shining. This was indeed Ec Sandro ' s country and he had reason for his love for it. Upon looking down the other side of the hill he was not supi ' ised to see two persons toiling up the slope. One on foot, the other perched upon a little donkey. It was Father Antonio returning from Mexico City. The rancher waited, gazing at the fiery-clouded sunset and its golden path in the water. When he could hear the steps near at hand, he turned to greet the venerable churchman, but it was Mariana whom he saw, — Mariana sitting flushed and quietly on the little beast beside him. Ec Sandro looked out at the disappearing sun with unseeing eyes. The vesper bells pealed forth and still he could not speak. At last he pointd to the plain, saying, That is my hacienda. It is our hacendia, corrected Mariana. Then he looked at her. Her face was glorified by the wonder of the panorama before her. Ec Sandro whispei ' ed, This will be our home? Here in California? ' Yes, Ec Sandro, she murmured. But we ' ll call it Golden California. These pages are devoted to the works of the students who have come to us from foreign lands. In exchange for the power to express themselves in our language they have brought to us an understanding of the spirit of their countries. MY HOME! Where lovely ferns and palms adorn The verdant hills and valleys fair, Where tampaquitas greet the morn And scent the sweet and balmy air. Where blooming fields of emerald green Enhance the many beauties rare, Where giant mounts stand high serene — Yes, there ' s my home, my Eden fair. My home where peace and love abide. Where pride and discord thrive in vain, Where rich and poor live side by side. Where joy and sweet contentment reign; Where young and old will gladly die For justice and fair freedom ' s light, Where all hearts beat with purpose high To live for honor, truth, and right. Yes, gently lapped in Orient seas My home, sweet home, in glory lies. Yes, there, kissed by each fragrant breeze While from her vales sweet song arise. O Philippines! all fair, enchanting isles Ye blessed shrine of peace and love. For thee, O land of Eastern smiles , My earnest pray ' rs shall rise above. — E. MENZEN. Page Ninety-eight DE RUITER ' S SPIRIT In the noted windmill land, Near roaring sea and dunes of sand, Lived a lad with lust to roam Across the sea and far from home. Pen and slate he valued naught. In fancy oft he battles fought With pirates on the foaming sea, Or groped in lands of mystery. Oft he crept from inland home To watch the crafts on dancing foam. Night found for him a safety-place Among defenders of his race. A stalwart man he .soon became, And in the South Seas found his game. Drifting on the white-capped seas. Or fighting wars and cruel disease. The white-winged angel came to call, When he was turning home one fall. With honors due they gave him rest. When golden-rays gleamed in the west. In the noted windmill land. Many watch from dunes of sand. And in their dreams once more they see De Ruiter ' s brave, bold victory. His spirit roams forevermore Mid seamen bound from .shore to shore ; His presence is felt with every tide. And commerce comes from far and wide. AGNETA De DOES.

The president is elected by the Senior A ' s, the vice-president by Senior B ' s, the secretary by A-ll ' s, and the treasurer by the B-ll ' s. The Star and Crescent Society is the largest organization of the school. A Star and Crescent pin is an em- blem presented to all those who enter the ranks of the Alumni. And as this mark of distinction is much more easily conveyed than a di- ploma and much more easily dis- played than the more practical ac- quisitions of the school, it is indeed of paramount importance. The S ' 21 officers were installed on Senior A Day, April 8, 1921. The less important program and dance followed the business meeting. The membership event of the profound business meeting was the winning of the yes over the no on the mo- tion that the Senior A ' s present the Senior B ' s with a green and white rattle. Not altogether vague rumors are walking that the notable Senior A ' s will take a larger than upsual pill on Senior B Day, with as much grace as they administered the pill last term.

An able staff under the direction of the second girl editor, Helen Becktel, in the history of the school has been able to carry on the ex- cellent work of the preceding editors. The advent of a new linotype machine and the difficulties it pre- sents to the heretofore inexperienced printshop students has prevented a six page paper this term as was possible last term. Sam Goldstein, has been the weekly ' s excellent advertising man- ager for the past term. His one regret is that a six page paper was im- possible in order that he might have used some of the adds with which he was deluged. Margaret Rignalda, Associate Editor, was responsible for the best editorial page ever conducted by the weekly. Abie Fox, Sporting Editor, has carried the basketball, track, tennis and baseball seasons through in fine shape. Well balanced and artistic makeups were observed under his guidance. A six page Easter Edition, featuring a page devoted entirely to the literary talent of the school, appeared just before the Spring vacation. A Senior A Edition printed in the colors green and white and called the Green and White appeared early in June.

High Printshop, fully equipped and able to turn out all of the printed work in the school, the dream of all editors, became a reality this term with the installation of the new Model Eight, Quick- change Linotype machine and such smaller necessities as the proof press, labor-saving leads and slugs, paper drying racks and galley racks. The linotype machine, costing $5000, was installed March 16 and all the linotyping required by L. A. has been done on it since the April 8th edition of the Blue and White Weekly. The cost of the machine was defrayed by money from the student body treasury and the installation expenses were met by $500 in bonds issued by the Weekly to the student body, through the efforts or Basil McGann, Hartley Devlin and William Ralls. The machine arived March 16 and was ready for the linotyping of the April 8 edition of the Weekly. The printshop has been independent of the Weekly for the first time this term. Beside the regular work on the Weekly, all programs, tickets, announcements of the school have been printed in the print.shop as was the semi-anual. The well organized condition of the printshop is due to the efforts of William Ralls, printshop manager, Helen Coon, business manager and Mr. Taylor, printing instructor.

The Committee is composed of fourteen members of the Senior A Class appointed by Mr. Paxton and Mr. Housh. Their duties are to see that our grounds are kept clean and that the students do not eat their lunches on the lawn. Several members of the Class are taken alphabetically each week to serve as associates. Their official badge is a small silver star. Gertrude Patton, as chairman, has done splendid work and is to be commended for her efforts and results. It is the express wish of Mr. Paxton and the office that the work of the House and Grounds Committee should be carried on by each succeeding Senior A Class and thus keep the appearance of the grounds of L. A. High School such that they will be universally admii ' ed. Page One Hundrfd Elev FORUM Forum has had a difficult term, although its membership is the largest of any in school. Practical- ly all of its members have been en- tirely engaged in bigger school ac- tivities, such as debating, dramatics, opera, etc. Despite this handicap Forum held its regular Declamation Contest which was won by Marcel Spencer. The short story contest was won by Richard Jenkins. The annual mock trial was successfully put on. Prece- dent was established by making the President the defendant. Randolph Karr and Richard Jenkins were the attorneys and Franklin Dozier the plaintiff. In addition to our regular pro- grams we had an old-fashioned spelling match, a basket picnic, a Valentine party at the home of the President, and our semi-annual banquet.

Seventeen DEBATERS Hats off to our only championship team, the debating team. Look them over, eight stars and worthy of all the glory and honor L. A. can give them. These eight individuals are the champions in the City League, and third in the Southern California League. The first victims in the City League this term were Poly and Manual. On the eighteenth of February, John Hall and Hubert Miller met the Poly orators. Our boys, using a barrage of facts, and a smoke screen of oratory, swept the enemy before them, and proved to all three judges that the United States should own its petroleum resources. At Manual, Percy Spencer and Richard Jenkins waged a still greater battle of wits, in an effort to establish the negative of the propo- sition being debated in our Aud. After the smoke of battle had cleared, the Manual team had suffered a 2 to 1 defeat. The debating coaches considered this battle the hardest and deciding one of the year. On April 15, the Pioneer squad held a simultaneous debate with Franklin. The question we argued with the Printers was: Resolved: That the city of Los Angeles should adopt an ordinance regulating rents. Richard Jenkins and Verne Mantle upheld the affirmative of the propo- sition in our Aud. Despite the fact that they had to meet a surprise case, they captured three points and left an oval goose egg for Franklin. The Franklin Press, said of this debate : This debate was rather one- sided due to the inability of our team to catch the drift of the gilded arguments of the opposition. In the meantime our veterans, Percy Spencer and Dorothy Duncan, were calmly telling their opponents in what respects their plan was faulty, then to make the job complete our team gave the opposition con- siderable to worry about in rebuttal. To make a long story short — we won by a score of 2-1. This double victory against Franklin gave us the undisputed title of city champions. On January 28, Ruth Miller and Dorothy Duncan, the only all girl team, put on the platform by L. A. met Santa Monica in their Aud on the question. Resolved : that the U. S. should continue to own and oper- ate a merchant marine. L. A. defended the negative. Although our tongue twisters lost the argument by one point, the work of the two girls was excellent, and taking into consideration that Dot took the debate on one week ' s notice and other regrettable incidents, we should really count this a victory. The evening of April 1, Ruth Miller and William Berger traveled to Inglewood to defend the negative of the question. Resolved : That the State of California should exempt from taxation for a period of five years, all buildings erected for the purpose of housing human beings. Wow! What a question — but never mind, William Berger cleared the path for victory in a grand burst of eloquence, which swept the opposi- tion off its feet. Ruth then followed and in a logical and very matter of fact way, finished the job. The rebuttal speeches of both speakers were par excellent. After the smoke of battle had cleared it was an- nounced that L. A. had won by 10 points (197-187). Ruth Miller was awarded first speaker in both the Santa Monica and Inglewood debates.

It ' s main motive is to bring about co-operation among all of the members of the Cafeteria. The problems of the Lunch House are brought before the meetings and discussed. This gives the employees an opportunity to meet the needs with greater effici- ency. The club has had a number of meetings this semester. Some of the meetings were of a social char- acter at which refreshments were served. At the close of this semes- ter the semi-annual banquet was given and enjoyed by all the mem- bers. A great deal of credit is due Mrs. West for her untiring efforts in behalf of the Club. The officers of the club are : President, Del Cheney. Vice-Pres., W. Donohugh. Secretary, Fred Egget.

Its business is the manage- ment of the lockers, and returning lost articles to their owners. This work has been accomplished by the careful supervision of Walter Hub- ner and his assistant, Hubert Boisvert. Hubert Boisvert will be manager next term and he expects to make it the big year for L. A.

Many innovations have been made for the betterment of our store. Since the state has been furnishing the books, the store ' s big work has been to supply the many minor necessities in school work. Our manager was out during the smallpox scare, but work went right on smoothly. RUDOLPHH WILSON, Manager. TRUMAN CLARK, First Assistant. MERRILL BRININSTOOL, Second Assistant. Pafic One Hundred Twenty-seven GafeterLoL CAFETERIA Why all the hurry? Is it a fire? No! It ' s only 2,500 hungry students dashing madly to the Cafe. Line up, there ! No gyping the line, yells the good natured guard, as some unruly student attempts to satisfy his craving before his also starving classmate. The object of the Cafeteria is to serve the best food possible at the lowest possible price. Our prices are low compared to those of other Cafeterias in the city. This is partially due to the scientific management of Mrs. West. Our daily receipts for the term have averaged $300 excepting the time during the smallpox epidemic, when they fell below this, owing to the absence of many of the students. Several banquets have been held in the Cafeteria and lunch was served at the Southern California Track Meet, which was held on the Housh Field. Agnes Van Dyne, the manager this term, is the iirst girl to have held this office. Her assistants were Delmore Cheney, first ; and Richard Scheck, second assistant.

By patronizing the candy department one not only satisfies one ' s personal desire, but at the same time is helping our school in a financial way. All profits received by the sale of candy are placed in the coff ' ers of the Student Body Organization where they are used for the girls scholarship fund and for general school use. The management of the candy department is carried on by girls. There is a manager who has under her a first and second assistant. The assistants advance and in due time become manager. This department is under the supervision of Mrs. West. Ruby Swett is manager this term while Jean Cunningham and Mercedes Long are first and second assistants respectively. Page One Hundred Thirty ICE CREAM This year has seen changes in the ice cream department, which add to its etficiency and successfulness. The size of the cream sold has been increased and the matter of handling put on an easier basis. The scheme of having both a boys ' and girls ' stand has worked out success- fully. The personnel this term is : Manager, William Moore. Assistant Manager, Caroyl White. Assistant Manager, Richard Hemborg. Page One Hundred Thirty-one COMMERCIAL CLUB This Club was organized during the term of S ' 20, for the purpose of promoting the commercial interests of the school. Only those having one year of commercial work, or who are taking it during their senior year, may apply for membership. Each term a sufficient number of members are added to bring the membership up to thirty. The Club visits various factories and business places in which the commercial is extremely interesting. Our social activities this term have consisted of two very success- ful dances, a tea, a theater party, and an initiation hike to the moun- tains. The present members are : Pres- ident, Dorothee Mirande; vice- president, Mercedes Long; secre- tary, Margaret Houston ; treasurer, Eula Mae Gates; sergeant-at-arms.

Much credit is due to the stage crew this term, for they have suc- cessfully staged the opera Pina- fore, the Senior A Vaudeville, the Star and Crescent, and the Senior B Farce, as well as work- ing the stage for rallys, lectures, musicals, and Aud, Calls. Stage work does not mean sim- ply pulling drops up, letting them down, placing chairs, and switching foot lights on; scenery must be con- structed, the spot lights and pro- jecting machine must be run, and many other things have to be done, all of which require great skill and knowledge. Mr. C. H. Thorpe, adviser and di- rector of the stage work, deserves credit, for without his supervision, very little could have been accom- plished. The members of the stage crew this term are : Cutler Brown — Manager. Elmer Pearson — Assistant Mgr. Herbert Nelson — Art Director. Morse Smith — Chief Electrician. Herbert Goss — As.st. Electrician. Paul Whittier — Head Flyman. Elmus Shadomy — Asst. Flyman. Merritt Jergins — Rt. Hand Gripe. Arthur Rossner — Property Man. Ray Reeves — Property Man.

A. A class was formed under the direction of Mr. Stanton. For social reasons the class was brought together as a club. The membei ' s consist solely of those at present enrolled in the class. The class deals with the theoretical side of wireless, and the club with the practical or working part of the science. Meetings are held every Wednesday, period nine, at which lectures are given and matters of interest pertaining to radio discussed. Every Monday and Thursday nights instruction in receiving has been given. A complete transmitting and receiving set is rapidly being assem- bled and will soon be in operation. The officers are: Clarence Heizer, President; Rodney O ' Reilly, Vice-President; Ben McGlashen, Treasurer; and Herbert Gross, Secre- tary. Pane One Huvdrfd Thirty-: GOLF CLUB The latest addition to the clubs at L. A. is the Golf Club. It is composed of twenty-four members of Mr. Noble as faculty advisor. A three hole course has been buitl by the members behind Housh Field ; the first hole is 315 yards long, the second a short mashie shot of 115 yards and the third 420 yards long. Each member was required to work five hours on the course and pay in addition one dollar. The club has had offers from leading professionals of the city to help in laying out the course and in giving instructions. Rain delayed the games that were to be played by increasing the growth of the weeds and accumulations of mud and dirt.

Although only a year old it has grown until it now is one of the strongest clubs of L. A. The special purpose of the club is to offer an opportunity to students interested in Dramatic Art, to realize their ambition to study and pre- sent to others the best in dramatic literature ; and to awaken a keener appreciation of the sincere in dramatic art, and discriminating judgment of plays and players. As a result we have had a number of high quality skits and plays. The Club ' s presentation of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream given during the Shakespearean Festival and before the school received high- est commendation of Dramatic critics.

Pane One Hundred Forty-cigl.t SAILING DAYS Before the fire dreaming of the summer days of yore, When ours the good yawl Dreamer — and we never wanted more, I see again those summer days with glowing sunsets die. And fee! the cool sea breezes ' neath God ' s great starry sky. I see the hazy shimmer of the land we left at dawn. And the smoky air of industry dance ' neath the hot noon sun, And before is one straight line where the sky and billows meet Over mysterious waters, unclaimed by conquerer ' s fleet. I hold the restless tiller, under tall white slanting sails, With boiling sheets of water tumbling aft along the rails. I watch the glorious sunset, and the heaving fields of green Reflect the glowing colors like a mirror ' s glassy sheen. The mystic path of moonlight stretches out across the swells. To distant silv ' ry meadows, and the soft warm zepher tells Of fragrant lands beyond the sea, untouched by any care. While ever swells roll onward under glorious heavens fair. Nothing is more impressive, more inspiring than the main. So restless, strong, and silent, yet so forceful, fierce, untamed. The ocean is the Spirit, and it ' s wonderful to be Far out on its free reaches — I ' m with God when on the sea. —EDWARD PAYSON RIPLEY. I ' aof One Hundred Forty-nine THE CHORAL CLUB This organization is made up for the most part of the combined Glee Clubs. However, membership in the Glee Clubs is not required. An interest in musical things and for- mer training in some branch of music is all that is necessary for a place in the Choral Club. The Club has sung in public a few times this semester, but the term ' s work consisted mainly of the opera, Pinafore. The efforts of Miss Blythe, our director, and Mrs. Galbraith, our accompanist, com- bined with the good will of the Club aided in making this opera a great success. Page One Hundred Fifty Pane One Hundred Fifty-one The Reserve Officers ' Training Corp Battalion of the Los Angeles High School consists of two companies, Company A and Company B and the band. There are seventy-five cadets in each company and fifty cadets in the band. The whole unit drills from 8 :15 to 9 :15 every morning. The unit is under the supervision of Major John J. Mudgett, who is assisted by First Sergeant Fred Bailey, Post Commissary Ser- geant Charles Sandstrom and Sergeant Edward McCoy. Major Mudgett was formerly commanding officer of the 364th Infantry Regiment and served with this unit in France and Belgium during the World War. First Sergeant Bailey saw six months ' service in Siberia as a commissioned officer. Sergeants Sandstrom and Sergeant McCoy were on active duty in San Francisco. The efficiency of the unit has been steadily increasing and this year has undoubtedly been one of the most successful years that the military unit of L. A. High has ever had and the nio.st has been accomplished. This year the unit has been on several short hikes and a number of the students have been out on the Berkeley Hills Rifle Range. These stu- dnts made exceptionally good scores. The marksmanship of the unit was further demonstrated when the rifle team of L. A. High ' s R. O. T. C. unit defeated all other city high schools in the first interscholastic rifle competition, making a score of 241 points out of a possible 250. The team was composed of John Hall, Eldridge Barabe, Edwin Earl, Melvin Hiltz, and Wilford Deming. Another big military victory was brought home to L. A. when Herbert Gross won the silver loving cup which was offered at the South- ern California Individual Manual of Arms contest. This is considered one of the hardest military competitions held in California. The work of L. A. ' s representative was highly commended by the judges. On April 22nd the annual R. O. T. C. inspection was held. Colonel Falls, the Professor of Military Science and Tactics for all states west of the Rocky Mountains, was the inspecting officer. Colonel Falls ex- tended considerable praise to the unit for the high caliber work which had been accomplished. Not only in military efficiency has the unit excelled for on the evening of the same day the inspection was held the annual R. O. T. C. Ball took place. This dance was considered one of the best dances given throughout the year. During the last week, the officers of the unit gave a theater party and a fine time was enjoyed by all. Thus ends the calendar for the R. O. T. C. unit for Summer 1921. Major John J. Mudgett Asst. Professor Military Science and Tactics. (Editor ' s Note) — The picture of the whole unit is not in the annual due to the fact that the annual went to press when half the members of the unit were excluded from school because of the smallpox scare.

' s 1921 track team performed in a mediocre fashion thruout the season. The interclass meet was held February 7th and 8th after which the regular team was chosen. Meets were held with Oxy fi ' osh, Compton and Redlands, L. A. winning the two latter meets. At the first A. A.U. meet L. A. placed second in both the mile and two mile relays. In the Manual Arts fracas L. A. carried off the honors to the time of 72 2-3 to 40 1-3, winning the relay in the fast time of 3 min., 9 sec. The Lincoln meet was a sad affair for L. A. but a bright spot on Lincoln ' s history. The Railsplitters loomed up unusually large and carried off the honors. Score Lincoln 74, L. A. 39. The annual city meet was also a rather sad affair for L. A., for had we won it the city cup would have been ours for good, but this was Lin- coln ' s year and they laid just claim to it with 50 pts. L. A. placed second with 30. The L. A. -Hollywood meet was carried off by the latter due to the wave of charity that hit our boys who wanted to see their teammates with few points win an L. A. track letter. The score was L. A. .50, Hol- lywood 63. Poly, as usual in track, fll before the Roman landslide and L. A. brought home the bacon to the melody of 27 to 86. The annual Southern California meet was won by Lincoln, L. A. tying with several other schools for sixth place. Herb Tousley placed third in the broad jump and the relay team copped second place. In the second A. A. U. meet Redlands took the heart out of Lincoln who only placed third. L. A. won the relay, third in the discus and fourth in the 16 point shot put. In the big state meet L. A. took five points in the form of the relay. Lincoln won the meet with 17 points. Thus the curtain fell on the 1921 track season, which, altho ' not a glorious one for L. A., was a creditable one considering the material of which to make a team. The team was coached by Mr. Whittle, who certainly deserves lots of credit for his untiring eflforts, and the results he accomplished. Page One Hundred Fifty-eight Paije One Hundrel FiJIy-nh Anderson — An all-round ath- lete. Norman captained the track team and certainly did a most credit- able job of it, scoring in his quiet way fifty-five points. After the city meet big, silent, Norm put aside the last of his L. A. fighting togs. His physical support is ended at L. A., but we know that his spirit and high standards of sportsmanship will never die. He broke two city records, shot 49 feet 3 inches; Discus 127 feet 5 inches. Olsen — Clifford, a member of last year ' s relay team and a mainstay of this year ' s track team. Owing to an illness Red was slowed up in his work at the first of the year. He came around a deciding factor in the winning relay team at Berkeley. Holcomb — In the mile D wight was generally right there, especially at the first of the season. Holcomb also starred in the half-mile doing the little jog in a little below 2 min- utes 5 seconds. In the Lincoln meet he beat Bengal, last year ' s city champion. Dwight graduates this term. He ought to be a big asset to the college he attends. Page One Hundred Sixty Green — Palmer is another main- stay of our relay team, being called on to break the tape. Last year ow- ing to an illness Pinkey was un- abl to do any track work but this year he came out with vim and vigor and ran the 100 yard, 220 and the relav. He has anothr year of track. Thomson — In Field Thomson L. A. has an athlete of whom she may be proud. Not as a grumbler but as a hard worker has Field been able to make the relay team. The same old spirit shown in football last year characterizes his track work. Field has two more years at L. A. and big things are in store for him. White — In his second year on the track team. Bud certainly did his share, winning a total of 20 points. In the city meet he placed first in the pole vault. Howard grad- uates in June. Fagc One Hundred Sixtij-i Stevenson — Stew is another product of last year ' s jimior track team. Due to Johnnie Boyd ' s ill- ness the bulk of the work in the mile fell on Stew who certainly filled the bill. Stuart placed fourth in the citv meet, doing the mile in 4 :47 flat. Tousley — Herb is L. A. ' s star broad jumper. He had a little bad luck at the Lincoln meet but kept right on going. He placed third in the Southern California meet, mak- ing 20 feet 8 inches. Herb was a big asset to the track team and always has lots of fight. Sherrod — Charles, a fine running- mate for Bud White, had the old fight this year and brought home some mighty important points when they were needed most. Sherrod has rising abilities and so he has de- cided to graduate in June. Pane One Hundred Sixty-two Bowen — Rawson is another of the winning relay team and had the im- portant job of starting the race. Ross was right there in the discus when it came to a pinch for more points. Blakemore — Buck is a product of last year ' s junior track team. He was our star high jumper this year. Due to an injury to his foot he did not enter the city meet where he would have undoubtedly placed. Buck is also a good high hurdler and will be back next vear. Paae One Hundred Sixly-thr YELL LEADERS L. A. elected her yell leaders at the beginning of this term by a yell leading contest. The candidates demonstrating their ability by their success in leading the school. Those chosen have amply justified the confidence placed in them. Hal Warner — Head Leader. Al Rogers — First Assistant. Herman Natowitz — Second Assistant. Faue One Hundred Sixty-fo WATER POLO L. A. had a very successful season in water polo. The team consist- ing of Holmes Bowers, captain, Cecil Hollingsworth, manager, Ellis Miller, Cunningham, Kei ' r and Briggs. with Gale and de la Garrigue as subs put up a lot of fight thruout the whole season. In the city league L. A. leads the list and if the Hollywood game, which has been protested, is played over, L. A. can and will win from Hollywood and bring home a championship. Critics say that this year ' s team is the best in the past eight years. Elgin Bland of the Y. M. C. A. coached the team and deserves all the praise that is possible for his work. Each afternoon he gave two hours to the polo team and received no compensation for it. L. A. is certainly lucky to have had such a coach. SCORES: L. A. 10 — Lincoln 4. L. A. 16 — Manual 0. L.

Pasadena, last year ' s city champions were doped to win the opener and the start of the game certainly resembled the dope. But L. A. really got started in the eighth inning and L. A. won the ten inning game. The second game of the season, the Lincoln game, was by no means a repition of the first, since L. A. lost 11 to 2. The Hollywood game was a walk away for Hollywood. The trouble seemed to emit largely from the pitcher ' s box, where three L. A. pitch- ers were well battered around. Barnett and Phfaler scored L. A. ' s pair of runs. The game with Jefferson was nearly as bad as the Hollywood game. The Democrats seemed to show unusual ability to find he L. A. pill, and knocked it all over the lot for thirteen runs. L. A. succeeded in scoring six markers. O ' Shea and Brown pitched. Manual Arts won their first game of the season by scalping the Pioneers for eight runs. The game started out well for L. A. and four runs were scored in the first inning. Manual scored two in the second and one in the third inning. Then in the eighth the Artisans broke loose and drove five runs in. The annual Poly-L. A. pill swatting argument was just one more defeat for the Pioneers, withnessed by four thousand fans. The Me- chanics trimmed L. A. for the first time in three years. The game was nearly a pitching duel but gradually Osthaus weakened and Solomon grew stronger. Osthaus did fine work and is classed with Cochran, Levinson and Thompson as shining lights of the game. Although the season did not give L. A. a championship it gave a great deal ot experience to the fellows on the team, most of whom will return to L. A. next year, which should be a Roman one as far as base- ball is concerned. Score: — Los Angeles 6 — Pasadena 5 Los Angeles 2 — Lincoln 11 Los Angeles 2 — Hollywood 12 Los Angeles 6 — Jefferson 13 Los Angeles 4 — Manual Arts 8 Los Angeles 2 — Polj-lechnic 7 Page Orte Hundred Sixty-six Pagf One Hundred Sixty-: Thompson — Coach White show- ed rare judgement in choosing Fat to bat fourth. He has the highest batting average on the team. He will be here next year and should prove even more valuable than he was this vear. Osthaus — He worked hard all through the season and as a result of this work he pitched the two best games that were played this season. He will also be back next year and should pitch L. A. High to a champ- ionship. Blakemore — Carroll was a big asset at second. He doesn ' t talk much, but certainly acts when it is necessary. He is another of these cool-headed birds who by his fine Carrolling will win a diploma in June. Pane One Hundred Sixty-eigkt Chappellet — Folix did a good job at holding down first base. Due to his length and breadth he is quite capable of stopping wild throws to first. He can also handle the bat with considerable agility. He grad- uates in June. Levinson — Although not shining particularly in any one department of the game, Sam played good all- around baseball throughout the en- tire season. Levinson will be back again next year to help win the pen- nant. Cochran, (Capt.) — Cocky, al- though handicapped by a sprained angle most of the season, stuck to the team and worked consistently. His perseverance was a great help to the team. His ability as a pinch hitter will be sorely missed next year unless some new star shows up. Pane One Hiiiidrrd Sij-ly- Bamett — Peanuts was the smallest and swiftest man on the team. He played a fine game throughout the season. Due to his batting ability and remarakable speed he was the best lead off man in the league. Barnett will be here next vear. Wideman — Perry is one of the best catchers L. A. ever had. He has the fine reputation of being the coolest headed man on the team. Perry was unlucky and had his finger broken in the middle of the season so he was out part of the time. He graduates in June. Phfaler — Although shortstop was a new position for Phfaler, he step- ped in and filled the hole left in the infield, when Captain Cochran sprained his ankle. The experience he received this year coupled with his ability should be a great help next vear. Page One Hundred Sc Brown — Brown pitched the Pas- adena game, the only victory of the season. Earl had fine control in the Lincoln game, too, but seemed to lose it after that. Brown leaves us in June, so he won ' t be here next year to help make a winning team. Fogel — Teddy surely did himself proud as a mascot. He ' s always right on deck with his smile and opinions of all the boys, including the opposing team. Page One Hundred Seventy-i Page One Hundred Seventy-two BASKETBALL We started this year off with practically all inexperienced players except Bresee, Anderson and Ishamaru, who were with last year ' s cage slingers. Even with this handicap Coach Harry Kirkpatrick turned out a team that surprised many and certainly deserves a lot of credit for the job. The season started off somewhat disastrously by falling beneath Hollywood ' s onslaught. The beating did more good than harm, how- ever, because it roused up that good old Fight ' em L. A. spirit so predominating in all L. A. teams, and thereafter the boys fought like demons. Pasadena beat us by a reasonable margin, but the boys came back hard in the Manual game and literally backed the Artisans off their feet all through the game, landing the bacon on L. A. ' s platter. Due to the fact that Daugherty was unable to play in the Polytechnic game we came out at the small end of the funnel after a hard fought game. Things went better in the Lincoln game and this time L. A. came home the winner by thirteen points. The Jefferson game was a walk- away for L. A. and the season closed with a nice victory even though it did begin it otherwise. Games Los Angeles 10 — Hollywood 53 Los Angeles 23 — Pasadena 35 Los Angeles 40 — Manual Arts 31 Los Angeles 23 — Polytechnic 29 Los Angeles 40 — Lincoln 27 Los Angeles 43 — Jefferson 17 Horace Bresee, captain and forward, plays a strong offensive and strong defensive game. He is eligible to play next year and we hope he ' ll be back on the job to better his this year ' s mark of 57 points. Wynn Daugherty, forward, is high man on the point scoring deal, totaling 73. He is considered our strongest offensive player and will be here next year to keep right on going. Norm Anderson is without a doubt the best center and guard L. A. has ever had in basketball. He always plays his old reliable, steady game, putting his whole self into the fight per usual. Burke Long plays a very scrappy game at guard, breaking up plays like a bomb wrecks a shanty. He played one hundred per cent fight, and is expected to take Norm ' s place next year. Ishamaru, guard. Ish is right there with lots of fight and speed, and ought to be one of L. A. ' s drawing cards next year. Jack Chotiner, guard. Jack played an important part on the team, showing no small measure of that old L. A. fight. We ' re sorry he won ' t be back next year, but then, we all have to graduate sooner or later. Our Hundred Si-v G. A. A. The Girls ' Athletic Association was organized this term for the purpose of promoting athletics among the girls in L. A.
